Julie Morgan AM: Thank you Chair The amendments in this group are to do with the postimplementation review of the Bill and I believe there was also a committee recommendation to this end from your committee so you strongly influenced this amendment It is clear from Members contributions to this group and recommendations by the committee at Stage 1 that they share my commitment to the importance of postimplementation review of the effect of the abolition of the defence of reasonable punishment I have already provided assurance that I agree with the importance placed on such a review both in the explanatory memorandum and during Stage 1 scrutiny I also made a commitment to bring forward a Government amendment to put a duty to undertake a postimplementation review on the face of the Bill I have done this with amendment 2 Amendment 5 sets out that this provision will come into force the day after Royal Assent As I said in my responses to the Stage 1 committee report and as set out in the explanatory memorandum the postimplementation review of this Bill will not be a single piece of work but a continuous programme of work during the years following the commencement of section 1 Firstly we will continue to conduct attitudinal surveys which will be used to track changes in attitude towards the physical punishment of children and prevalence of parents reporting that they use physical punishment The surveys will also be used to monitor the effectiveness of our awarenessraising campaign Secondly through a dedicated task and finish group we are working with organisations to put in place arrangements to establish robust methods for capturing meaningful data relating to the Bill and to consider the possible impact on services Turning to amendment 2C this amendment would require Welsh Ministers to prepare and lay before the Assembly a report on the effect of their promotion of public awareness before section 1 is commenced This amendment is unnecessary and is in conflict with what I think is a priority for the implementation of this Bill : that is given certainty on the commencement date and in enabling us to work towards this with our partners and stakeholders I also think this amendment is not required because as I have already stated we are preparing to assess the effectiveness of our awareness raising In June I shared the findings of a representative survey which establishes a baseline on public awareness and opinion towards physical punishment of children and the proposed legislation I shared this with the committee | The Deputy Minister had provided assurance that she agreed with the importance placed on the post-implementation review, and made a commitment to bring forward a Government amendment to put a duty to undertake a post-implementation review on the face of the Bill. Amendment 2C would require Welsh Minister to prepare and lay before the Assembly a report on the effect of their promotion of public awareness before section 1 is commenced, and the Deputy Minister thought this amendment was unnecessary and was in conflict with what she thought was a priority for the implementation of this Bill. The Deputy Minister did not want to support amendments 2A, 2C and 2E to 2K, because these amendments made little difference in terms of practical effect to what they had in the Bill already. In conclusion, she would ask members to reject the non-Government amendments and agree to amendments 2 and 5. |
knight: Very well, your majesty. Only--can I fight a LITTLE before I leave?
royalty: If fighting is what you hop for you will soon get plenty of it. I have seen it your journey to the king will be a arduous one. Have no fear tho you will reach your destination.
knight: Of course, your majesty, I trust and believe you. Say, will carrying this coin mean I have visions of the future? I should not find it comfortable, I don't think.
royalty: No you wont, however it will guide you in other ways. When you reach the king be sure to flip the coing in the air to him. After he catches it the coin will turn glowing hot, and the king will drop it and it will the show the king the mistakes he is making and the future that will come if he continues with this war.

PhD D: I thought you are OK Alright Mm
Professor B: I think I have a pretty good idea but but and then the next day late in the day I will be having that that discussion with her
PhD D: One thing I mean we in past meetings we had also a you know various variously talked about the work that w was happening sort of on the on the recognition side but is not necessarily related to meetings specifically So And I wondered whether we should maybe have a separate meeting and between you know whoever s interested in that because I feel that there s plenty of stuff to talk about but it would be sort of maybe the wrong place to do it in this meeting if Well it s that It s just going to be ver very boring for people who are not you know sort of really interested in the details of the recognition system
Professor B: Well OK so how many how many people here would not be interested in in a meeting about recognition ?
PhD D: Well I know Well Jane an Well you mean in a separate meeting or ha ha talking about it in this
Grad A: No If we talked about it in this meeting
PhD F: He s wondering how much overlap there will be
PhD D: So Liz and Jane probably
Professor B: OK so we are going to have a guy s meeting
PhD D: if you want to put it that way
PhD F: Good thing Liz is not here
Grad E: Watch a ball game ?
Professor B: real real real men `` Real men do decoding `` or something like that
PhD F: Do not listen to this Liz
PhD D: I mean it it s sort of I mean when when the talk is about data collection stuff sometimes I ve you know I I m bored So it s I c I can sympathize with them not wanting to i to to be you know If I cou you know this could
Professor B: It s cuz pause y you have a So you need a better developed feminine side There s probably going to be a lot of `` bleeps `` in this meeting
PhD D: not sure I want to
Grad A: I would as comment I would guess
Professor B: I think it must be pause nearing the end of the week I You know I I ve heard some comments about like this That m could be
PhD D: And we do not have to do it every week We could do it every other week or so You know whatev or whenever we feel like we
PhD F: Right I was Why do not we alternate this meeting every other week ?
Grad A: Or just alternate the focus
PhD F: Tha That s what I mean
Grad A: so on even weeks have pause basic pause on data
PhD D: I I Personally I would I m not in favor of more meetings Because
PhD F: But I do I do not I mean a lot of times lately it seems like we do not really have enough for a full meeting on Meeting Recorder
Grad A: Well except that we keep going for our full time
PhD F: So if we did that Well cuz we get into these other topics
PhD D: We feel We feel obligated to collect more data
PhD F: So if we could alternate the focus of the meeting
Grad A: Let s read digits and go
Professor B: Why do not we just start with that
PhD D: ummh comment ummh comment OK
Professor B: And then if we find you know we are just not getting enough done there s all these topics not coming up then we can expand into another meeting But I I think that s a great idea So Let s chat about it with Liz and Jane pause when we get a chance see what they think and
PhD F: that would be good I mean Andreas and I have various talks in the halls and there s lots of things you know details and stuff that would I think people would be interested in and I would you know where do we go from here kind of things and So it would be good
Professor B: and you are you are attending pause the the front end meeting as well as the others so you have you have probably one of the best you and I I guess are the main ones who sort of see the bridge between the two We are doing recognition in both of them So
PhD D: So So so we could talk a little bit about that now if if there s some time
Grad A: No no that would be for next week
PhD D: I jus So the latest result was that yot I tested the the sort of final version of the PLP configuration on development test data for for this year s Hub five test set | The team thought that they should not have everyone attend meetings on specific topics. For general catchup meetings like this, they thought it would make sense to alternate every two weeks. The team joked around about having a guys meeting, as one of the groups would not have any female members. They were mainly concerned with collecting more data through their own meeting recordings. Though, many of the meetings they were having for that purpose were shorter than they would have liked. |

PhD I: I mean I think I think we ve raised this before and someone said this is not a reliable way to do it but the What about putting the stuff on like C CD ROM or DVD or something ?
Grad F: That was me I was the one who said it was not reliable The they they wear out
PhD I: But they wear out just from sitting on the shelf ? Or from being pause read and read ?
Grad F: No Read and write do not hurt them too much unless you scratch them But the r the write once and the read writes do not last So you do not wa you do not want to put ir un reproduceable data pause on them
PhD B: Wear out after what amount of time ?
PhD I: But if that then you would think you would pause hear much more clamoring about data loss
Professor D: I mean all the L
Grad F: I I do not know many people who do it on CD I mean they are the most fo
Professor D: LDC all the LDC distributions are on CD ROM
Grad F: They are on CD but they are not tha that s not the only source They have them on disk And they burn new ones every once in a while But if you go if you go k
PhD I: But you know we have
PhD G: But we have like thirty pause you know from pause ten years ago ?
Professor D: We have all sorts of CD ROMs from a long time ago
PhD G: Ninety one and they are still all fine
Grad H: Were they burned or were they pressed ?
PhD G: both I ve burned them and they are still OK
Grad F: The the pressed ones last for
PhD G: I mean usually they are
Grad F: well not forever they ve been finding even those degrade But the burned ones I mean when I say two or three years what I m saying is that I have had disks which are gone in a year On the average it will probably be three or four years But I I you do not want to per p have your only copy on a media that fails And they do if you have them professionally pressed y you know they are good for decades
PhD I: So how about ? So so how about putting them on that plus like on a on on DAT or some other medium that is not risky ?
Grad F: I think th we can already put them on tape And the tape is hi is very reliable So the the only issue is then pause if we need access to them So that s fine f if we do not need access to them
PhD I: Right Well if if if you if they last Say they actually last like five years huh in in the typical case and and occasionally you might need to recreate one and then you get your tape out but otherwise you do not Can not you just you just put them on ?
Grad H: So you just archive it on the tape and then put it on CD as well ?
Grad F: Oh So you are just saying put them on C Ds for normal access I mean you can do that but that s pretty annoying because the C Ds are so slow
PhD B: What would be nice is a system that re burned the C Ds every year
PhD G: H everytime it was a `` going to `` `` going to die ``
Grad F: Well I mean the C Ds are are an op | PhD I suggested putting the data on a CD-ROM but was informed that the data gets lost in a few years. PhD F expressed that it was generally a bad idea to have a copy on a medium that failed. Professionally pressed discs last longer, but they would be burning them in-house. The idea of re-burning the CD's each year was also not adopted. |

guard: Ahhh, of course. Has the plague run it's course?
dove: It seems to have. Those in the castle bared the doors and have not let peasants in.
guard: Smart. The Prince of Kingdom of Lore has always been the smartest of the lot there. What do you need? I can inform our King at once of your troubles.
dove: We need more peasants to get our village up and running again. He now has no one to rule and this must change.
guard: Of course, of course. As a precaution, we would only send people to your land so as to not return. We wouldn't want to bring the Plague back to destroy our land as well.
dove: That is very logical Sir. If you will give me a document and tie it to my leg I will take it to my King.
guard: Alas, as well as I can fight and protect my King, I cannot read or write. Can you go see the Priest? He is the one who writes all that our land requires.
Summarize the dialogue | The plague has run its course. The castle has barricaded the doors and prevented peasants from entering. The dove wants to get the village up and running again. The guard will inform the King of Lore about the dove's request. |

bishop: It would. Particularly since his brother would then become King. Roderick, I'm sure you know him. Volunteers to build hovels for the poor.
person: He is a good man. It would be good for the kingdom...but aren;t you scared for your life?
bishop: That's the trouble. I would need to hide for the remainder of my days. Unless someone were to off the king...I believe that a good, pious man would do such a thing for the church...
person: Could the church afford such a man?
bishop: This cross once belonged to Saint Peter himself, I believe such an artifact would pay for any...difficulties.
person: Hmmm... I think we can come to an arrangement. But how do i get close to the king?
bishop: Quite simple, really. He comes here for religious service, and he is obliged to touch the cross each time he comes. One could easily give him a chalice of drugged wine as he touches the cross. I could outfit you like a Friar.
Summarize the dialogue | bishop wants to assasinate the king. He suggests Roderick, a good man, to do it. Roderick would need to get close to the king. |

Grad E: How exactly does the data collection work ? Do they have a map and then you give them a scenario of some sort ?
Grad B: OK Imagine you are the the subject You are going to be in here and somebody And and you see either th the three D model or a QuickTime animation of standing you in a square in Heidelberg So you actually see that The first thing is you have to read a text about Heidelberg So just off a textbook tourist guide to familiarize yourself with that sort of odd sounding German street names like Fischergasse and so forth So that s part one Part two is you are told that this huge new wonderful computer system exists that can y tell you everything you want to know and it understands you completely And so you are going to pick up that phone dial a number and you get a certain amount of tasks that you have to solve First you have to know find out how to get to that place maybe with the intention of buying stamps in there Maybe So the next task is to get to a certain place and take a picture for your grandchild The third one is to get information on the history of an object The fourth one And then the g system breaks down It crashes And
Grad D: a At the third ? Right then ?
Grad B: And then Or after the fourth Some find comment Forget that for now And then a human operator comes on and and exp apologizes that the system has crashed but you know urges you to continue you know ? now with a human operator And so you have basically the same tasks again just with different objects and you go through it again and that was it Oh and one one little bit w And the computer you are you are being told the computer system knows exactly where you are via GPS When the human operator comes on that person does not know So the GPS is crashed as well So the person first has to ask you `` Where are you ? `` And so you have to do some s tell the person sort of where you are depending on what you see there this is a a a a a bit that I d I do not think we Did we discuss that bit ? I just sort of squeezed that in now But it s something that would provide some very interesting data for some people I know So
Grad D: So in the display you can Oh you said that you cou you might have a display that shows like the
Grad B: a Additionally y you have a a a sort of a map type display | B explained that the subject of the experiment will first be given texts about a city, so they can familiarize themselves with foreign terms. Then, they will be introduced to a computer navigation system with which they can navigate the city and provided with a set of tasks to complete. Then, the computer system will crash, including the GPS, so the person will not even know where they are, and the human operator will assist them. To find their location, the subject will have to provide visual information to the human operator. B also thought that creating movies of walking would require a lot of technical effort but later claimed that it may be worth it. B clarified that the goal was to see how people communicate in such a scenario. |

Project Manager: can I I am actually going to use the it is going to because great technical problems over here I am actually going to use the
User Interface: F they probably clip to you
Industrial Designer: Oh they might be movable Oh they are all they are not connected to anything on the table you just leave them on and walk around with them
Project Manager: Yes rather than the the the traditional in fact I will not even go that far something like this shape you know sort of something that you can that is sort of a more vertical shape that you you sort of hold in your hand well I am trying to think l l such as I mean something you hold up like that possibly with a couple of buttons like that but with the the entire top with the you know the the infrared or whatever source so that you know it is flying off in all directions so that again the n need to look at the the the technicalities of actually achieving that in terms of whether the you know the power requirements of the such a source you know compromise the our our need for you know it it being mm permanently you know available whether whether different technology I mean th all all these remotes are presumably infrared and like they have been for a long time we we possibly need to be looking at at at something different you know short range not like the old radio remote controls where you would change next doors telly when you change yours but I think basically i if we are going for i if minimum number of buttons is our priority then we should as I say r know really bite the bullets and and reduce the buttons to absolute minimum you know possibly with backup channel and volume buttons and on off and nothing else so that it can al it could almost end up like that but again except that you know the risk of losing it anyway so Kate wh what are your your thoughts on this ?
Industrial Designer: Which one does this plug into ?
User Interface: I think it is all there
Industrial Designer: I can not did you could you see it on you screen when it
User Interface: That is kind of strange
Industrial Designer: Oh well Anyways alright so I will just do my presentation on the working design Oh there we go just at the m the whole sort of method of how the remote control works the basic function of the remote control is to send messages to another sh system the the TV or the DVD player or whatever and it does this by well you need to start off you need an energy source and this energy source will feed into an integrated circuit chip and the circuit chip is the part that actually composes the different messages within the remote which will then be sent to the the television the DVD to tell that what to do and you need a user interface which controls the chip and thus the messages and the user interface is that is basically just you kn the s sorta design of the actual remote which you hold in your hands and what buttons will be on it Oh shoot just general findings what we need technically speaking for the remote control is some sort of energy source some sort of user interface which I think we have mostly been talking about the user interface and the design of that a circuit chip within that to control and send the messages and a sender and receiver And oops Uhhuh This is just sort of a little schematic diagram of what we are looking for this just kind of represents the energy source which feeds into the circuit chip which maybe then we could have that feed into a switch which would send signals f to a subcomponent and on to a light bulb between so it will light up once we start once you start pressing buttons also send signals to the infrared bulb which will be the part that actually what ? Sends signals to the the television And then you have got your happy little TV watcher there And so my personal preferences I I just think we need sorta big energy source that will not die out perhaps some sort of rechargeable battery or a battery dock you could place it in so it would constantly be charged so you would not have to be worrying about it running out of batteries and not changing channels for you a wide range senderreceiver so that you can hit the buttons from basically anywhere in the room and the channelll still be changed also definitely a userfriendly interface and I think we have all sort of mentioned adding a a locating device on it so when it does get stuck under the couch cushions as they inevitably do you can find them easily And that is pretty much it
Project Manager: it seems seems to me there are a number of fundamental decisions to make before we I think your point about the the big energy source is a very valid one I do not suppose we have got any statistics on the the life expectancy of remote controls particularly sort of independent ones given you know the number of things you buy these days which you know have a a a lithium whatever battery in that is you know never needs replacing perhaps we should have the the disposable remote control you know one some sort of typical usage You know the the the battery will last know five ten years By which time I mean when alls said and done the digital television will be taking over in that time scale p perhaps we should know reduce the you know the sort of moving parts even more by not even having a battery compartment and
Industrial Designer: Just having one that is guaranteed to last five to ten years ?
Project Manager: and if if anybody manages to run it down we will we will give them a new one it is you know it is what it saves in cost and you know there there is a well it is actually a marketing gimmick I mean it is hardly a gimmick it is it is totally practical so I th think you know the idea of a rechargeable one is unless you are really high tech and it sort of just recharges itself if it is n by you know magnetic waves or whatever if if it
Marketing: It could have like know like a cordless phone in your house it s got like a base that sits there all the time
Project Manager: Are are people really going to use it though ?
User Interface: I would think that people might forget
Project Manager: I I th I think
User Interface: I mean people forget to put their cordless phones back on there
Project Manager: I mean I know that somei times my my wife goes out in the morning and says oh I should have put the phone on to charge and then then she is had those for so long that if she has not worked that out by now
Industrial Designer: Because I only remember to charge my cell phone when battery dies And that is pretty much
Project Manager: When it wh when it is died is a problem
Industrial Designer: when it turns itself off that is when I plug it in
Project Manager: what so wh what what do we think about the the the permanent mm battery ?
Industrial Designer: think that is a good idea
Project Manager: Is the you know we we we are really going for the ultimate in ex external simplicity here you know cut cost within the manufacturing and you know if we have a high tech interior then then that that sh may well be cost effective
User Interface: Do they make batteries that last that long ?
Project Manager: I mean th th certainly I can not think of anything off the s top of my head
Industrial Designer: They usually have the little light source
Project Manager: but there are certainly things that you buy I mean calculators for example
Industrial Designer: I do not know what the heck they are called
User Interface: they have that little solar
Project Manager: I mean th th but there are battery ones that are you know sort of permanently sealed In in fact I would
Industrial Designer: Most of them do not they have sort of a combination of the two like when there is light they will work off the light and if there is not they will kick into this battery so we can maybe do something like that whereas there is a battery but if there is enough light then it is using the light so that it is not actually draining the battery all the time but you will have the battery there for when you need it
Project Manager: I I mean th th this needs going t into the technology a bit I mean the the actual time that a remote control is actually operating I would think is i is is probably you know no more than minutes in its entire life
Industrial Designer: Oh it depend if it is depends who who is using it who is just sitting there clicking clicking clicking clicking
Project Manager: If but I say if if people are getting RSI from it then then then then perhaps we are looking at the wrong market
Industrial Designer: then they are clicking a lot
Marketing: like like this this market research thing says number of times per hour that it is used channel selection a hundred and sixty eight
User Interface: Wow That is a lot
Project Manager: Oh I must admit I had not I would I would missed that That does sound excessive
Marketing: But then again if you think it of the amount of you know amount of use it is like That is it is less than a second
Project Manager: Well that is right and and I I do not I do not even know whether the I do not even know whether the s the signal lasts as long as you actually keep the button pressed or whether it is just a sorta tenth of a second no matter how long you press it for I do not know I do not actually know
User Interface: Though I think with digital TV like I know on my cable box you are not supposed to do that because the channel can not keep up with it if you just press it like that so you are supposed to use the menu and go through the different channels that way instead of
Project Manager: Right so I have got a message to say five minutes I do not know how long ago that appeared because we are we are getting | Project Manager expected to have a remote control permanently available. Industrial Designer proposed to have a rechargeable battery or a battery dock, while Project Manager preferred a disposable one. Then Industrial Designer came up with a combination of both solar and conventional batteries. |
