#Person1#: Hey there Chris, what are you up to?
#Person2#: I'm just poring over some brochures about various car models.
#Person1#: Oh, so you're thinking about buying a new car?
#Person2#: Yeah, it looks that way. My wife has been bugging me about it. I thought we could probably survive without one, but with a baby on the way, maybe it is time to get a car.

#Person1#: Yeah, it is a tough call. Each one has its pros and cons. Are you looking for a sedan?
#Person2#: Yes, I'd like a Jeep, but my wife says we have to get a comfortable sedan for long drives home to see her relatives.

helpers: Ah, do not tempt yourself. The next crime you commit will result in execution I am sure
painter: What else do I have to live for but revenge!? At least if I can make a good mockery of the king others may see him for the foul and vain tyrant that he is!

Suzy Davies AM: I just want to ask you now about students and their maintenance loan grants I think they are getting around now the money going into their bank account that they would normally have expected at this time of year That is right yes ? What is happening to those students who would normally be living in digs somewhere but are now living at home ? Are they likely to be asked to reimburse part of the cost because obviously it is not as expensive to live at home as away and what is likely to be happening with the maintenance loans over the summer holiday period potentially ? Because we have had a period now where students can not top up their maintenance loans by going out and working on weekends or working in the evenings or whatever so their income has been impacted Just in the round what kind of conversations are happening around that ? Again it is probably a fournation approach I would imagine
Kirsty Williams AM: Thank you Suzy You are correct to say that our student support regime does allow for a lower payment to be made to those students that stay at home during their studies but I want to reassure students that there will be no change to their student support payments just because they have left their universities and have decided to go home There should be no change Also we are continuing it should be important to say to pay education maintenance allowance at this time for our FE students that are eligible for that even though obviously for EMA there is an attendance requirement but clearly that is not appropriate to enforce at the moment You are correct—this is a worrying time for many students in higher education especially for those who are looking to graduate at this time and are going out into an economy that has been tremendously badly hit by the pandemic At this time we continue to have conversations with NUS Wales about what can be done within a Welsh context but as you quite rightly say also within a UK context to support students who may have been affected We are continuing—on our webpage we have a frequently asked questions section that advises students in the first instance especially when it comes for instance to the cost of accommodation—to have those discussions and I am very grateful that in some cases some of our institutions have been able to waive or partially waive accommodation fees where students have vacated their accommodation and have returned to their usual home address But we will continue to have dialogue with NUS Wales and with our counterparts across the country to look to see what more we can do to support students at this time
Suzy Davies AM: Thank you for that answer and yes I was pleased to see that announcement through the NUS as well so well done to those accommodation providers who have a heart I think we will all have seen the Universities UK document that explains some of the difficulties that they are going to be running into if this proceeds much further My understanding is that the main emphasis at the moment is to try and get all the universities across the UK through this initial period of difficulty by releasing as much money as possible I can see that your figure to the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales was a little bit down on last years letter—not that there is been a remit letter yet but an indication Are you releasing that money earlier so that they can use it more swiftly or does that not matter ? | Suzy Davies AM asked whether the money of the student support regime would decrease since students were currently studying at home at a much lower cost. Kirsty Williams AM made it clear that there would be no change on that, as the same amount of money would go to students' accounts as a way of assuring students' attendance and the family's confidence under the extreme situation. |

Lonya: We are fine and as you can see as touristy as possible. Horrible! Not possible otherwise.
Kitty: But it's perfectly alright. Why horrible?
Kitty: You both look happy, relaxed, bronzed, healthy... What more do you want?
Lonya: And we are. But you are always in a crowd of foreigners. Taking the same pictures. Buying the same things. Going to the same restaurants... So predictable! So artificial...
Lonya: In one respect we are different: we hardly ever take selfies! Just look at her:
Lonya: <file_photo>
Lonya: And she went on like this for half an hour or so. Oblivious to her surroundings. She probably didn't even know where she was!
Kitty: And where was she?
Lonya: Tulum temple on the Riviera Maya. Every structure rebuilt for tourists like her. Nothing here is authentic.
Lonya: <file_photo>
Lonya: This side is in its original condition. Can you see what I mean?
Kitty: Yes, I do but would't hold it against them. At least you can see in the reconstruction what these temples looked like. Otherwise you'd be visiting only heaps of rubble.
Kitty: Of course we have in Europe a different attitude to ancient monuments but who knows? Maybe Mexicans are right and not we?
Lonya: I'm not sure. I'll think about it.
Lonya: Maybe what I object most to is the fact that they don't explicitly say it's reconstruction. Seeing my first Maya temple I was in raptures until Thomas showed me those that haven't been reconstructed and explained the idea behind it.
Kitty: Oh stop it Lonya! Just enjoy your holidays and stop philosophizing.
Lonya: You are probably right.
Lonya: It's not that much left of it. 10 more days. Somehow pity but I'm also looking forward to being back at home.
Lonya: Then we'll talk about it again.
Kitty: Enjoy as long as it lasts! | Lonya's having holidays. She doesn't like the fact that every foreigner does the same activities. Most of the structures there are reconstructed. Lonya objects to the fact that it's not explicitly said. Lonya is staying there for 10 more days. |

Liam: Have you heard that Emma's been accused of plagiarism?
Caden: No way! Emma?
Caden: It's so out of character for her to do something like this!
Liam: I know! But've read her article and... well, it's quite obvious which passages had been plagiarized from her students' reports.

#Person2#: Not much. I started exercising.
#Person1#: Trying to get in shape?

owl: Well i've never encountered a ghost so you shouldn't be so surprised!

spirit: Funny story...a wizard paid me to harvest orc ears for some potion he was making. I didn't want to ask too many questions. His coin was good, unfortunately, so was the orc's aim.

Huw David: If we implement it carefully if we implement it with the right resources then I hope not I think not But as with every piece of legislation it is about the implementation it is about the cultural change as well and that is why I can not overstress the importance of making sure that resources are made available because our social services departments—childrens social services in particular—are overstretched They are at breaking point—make no bones about it—and they are dealing with children who are facing serious harm and neglect We are having record numbers of contacts from police from teachers from doctors and of course from children themselves who are experiencing that harm and neglect And obviously we want to focus our energy and our attention on those children Equally though we do not want to lose sight of those families and children that are experiencing significant problems but who we want to support through our early intervention and prevention programmes and that is why it is important that there is investment in those programmes so that children do not end up in that terrible position where we have to for their safety take them from their birth families to protect them And the reality is in Wales that we are doing that to more children than we have done for a long time and the numbers are growing across Wales And that is only because of the most appalling neglect and abuse because there is no way that any judge would permit us to act to make a child safe if it was not for that fact and the facts are there So I do not want that focus to be lost but of course we welcome and understand the need to progress this piece of legislation | Huw David thought if this Bill was implemented carefully with the right resources, there might not be unintended consequences. However, for every piece of legislation, it would be about the implementation and the cultural change. Currently, the number of looked-after children in Wales were growing a lot, and this was because of the most appalling neglect and abuse. Huw David did not want this focus to be lost. |

a lord: I don't think the King would be happy with that.
the priest: Well your happiness is worth more than his, he is the king and will get over it very quickly.
a lord: I suppose, but that would also mean losing many of the benefits that I get working fairly close to him.
the priest: Well, like I said, just search for some other options and if you find any you can leave. Any other confessions, sir?

Nick: So, so? Have you finished yet?
Haley: yes :(
Nick: I know, right?
Haley: I hate u. The ending was heartbreaking af
Nick: I know, but then again the whole game is soo good.
Haley: True that
Nick: So what did you sacrifice?
Haley: Arcadia Bay.
Nick: Srsly?? I was 100% certain, you're going to sacrifice Chloe.
Haley: I mean it wasn't an easy decision, but it made sense to me. What did you choose?
Nick: I sacrificed Chloe, obviously.
Haley: obviously :P
Haley: You know it's almost 50/50 with this choice among the players
Nick: I've seen the statistics, yes. So why did you choose Chloe?
Haley: Because it's actually the one person that you truly care about. Who's like your best friend and means something to you. You've tried so hard for her and now you're just gonna throw that all away and kill her? I just couldn't do it.
Nick: Yes, but that's one life against several thousands of lives including Chloe's mother. How do you think that would make her feel?
Haley: I know and as I said it was a devastating choice, but I couldn't let her die after all that emotional build-up.
Nick: I sorta get it... in theory. But for me the math was simple. Plus there was this part where you had to see the damage the storm had done and save your classmates and all that. It really got to me.
Haley: I know all that but it was just... pursuit of happiness I guess. Like if it was Josie or your mom, what would you do?
Nick: yeah, but for me it wasn't a Josie/mom kind of relationship. Chloe and Max just spent several days together after some long years of zero contact. I just didn't really feel that close to Chloe, I guess.
Haley: I totally adored her and actually felt guilty a lot o f times on Max's behalf for abandoning her like that those years ago. I know Chloe is difficult and troublesome, but for me that was kinda lovable.
Nick: I didn't connect with her like that at all. I mean it wasn't ok, what Max did, but I feel like Chloe was constantly guilt tripping Max throughout the game. It was kinda annoying.
Haley: i dindn't really see it that way. Chloe's just sorta emotional, says what she feels.
Nick: That's a polite way to put it but ok. :P What about the other choices? And most importantly - did you water the plant? :D
Haley: Yes! :D I watered it exactly right.
Nick: Haha, me too. I wish I was able to do that in real life :P | Nick and Hayley finished the game. Nick sacrificed Chloe and is surprised that Hayley sacrificed Arcadia Bay. |
