User Interface: Well we do not put put in any fancier technology yet So
Industrial Designer: Then some more technical things I do not know what it is but it should be there I think this is the normal circuit board like a chip board in in a lot of things
Project Manager: we have to hurry up a bit so
Industrial Designer: W So we d we just need this and this transistors and resonators There is all these kind of things they they basically said that that is almost the same on any remote controls
User Interface: I am sure we can fit in
Industrial Designer: So I guess we j we just need that I do not know what they do or
Marketing: you can you can change No
Industrial Designer: Nah but they just said we need it the battery contacts like normal batteries ca you can put in
User Interface: we have to make sure to
Project Manager: We still want to have a recharger do not we ?
Industrial Designer: but it i We do not want to have a ar an How do you call it ? Accu
Project Manager: A recha Oh no Battery It is just a battery
Industrial Designer: Y just just batteries rechargeable batteries
User Interface: batteries Yes rechargeable batteries I thinks best
Industrial Designer: And a chip that is this one Then I received some possibilities for the energy source we can use batteries or a kinetic Like with the pulse watch So it operates on your wrist kind of
Project Manager: But normally you put a remote control on the table or on the couch
User Interface: So if you hold it it gets powered
Industrial Designer: If you hold it I do not think it will work and Or we can also use solar cells But you mostly use it indoors
Project Manager: It is dark in the room No
Industrial Designer: and and we can use the home station kind of thing cases flat so uncurved two D curved is like front to the back And three D curved is also in depth So that is possible but with three D curved remote controls we must use rubber buttons So we can not use the flat buttons I think these kind of materials can be used
Project Manager: But it does not really matter we just make it plastic The scroll wheels that is cool That is for the volume
Industrial Designer: that is good We can use multiple scroll wheels w if we want to But I think just the volume is enough
User Interface: For channels it is not handy because you scroll too fast
Industrial Designer: And the LCD So we need the expensive most expensive chip if we use an LCD
Project Manager: I do not think that is an opportunity Just skip it Because we do not have time for that to to put it in
Industrial Designer: then we we use m must use the second most expensive chip So th so the regular chip Because we use scroll wheels And that was it I guess are are we using a a rubber case or We have not decided yet
Project Manager: Maybe you have to skip that one as well It is
User Interface: I do not think a rubber case looks
Marketing: but we have to do something about the trend
Industrial Designer: i it it should be soft You said so ?
Marketing: The trend is spong spongy and fruit or fresh fresh
User Interface: That fruit and veg or
Marketing: And now we have nothing about about those those two
User Interface: fruit and veg can be just the covers
Marketing: i Just Just on front
User Interface: So you can the the spongy I do not know I can not imagine a soft remote control
Marketing: Neith I do not like it neither
User Interface: I just can not imagine it
Industrial Designer: So just hard plastic ?
User Interface: Titanium It is mentioned here
Industrial Designer: Titanium I think it is too expensive
Project Manager: But maybe the form has to be a bit different Not the sh the square form Just a bit
Industrial Designer: you can make it curved or mm round But just in two D not in depth
Project Manager: So We have to decide which one we are going to choose from these What exactly Because we have to know it So the energy is the recharger We already know that Just a normal battery The chiponprint is a normal one the case is just a plastic one
Industrial Designer: th the chip is the the regular one You have the simple one regular and advanced So it is b should be regular the second I think I will just check it
Project Manager: And we need a plastic case with a scroll wheel That is pretty much it So I am not sure But we do I do not know if we expected to draw on this one at this moment But
User Interface: I do not know either
Industrial Designer: Mm Or should we do it in the next meeting ?
User Interface: ID and UID work together on prototype drawing on smart board
Project Manager: That is for the next one
Industrial Designer: So we should did it here ?
User Interface: So we are staying here ?
Project Manager: that I think that is the next next meeting
Industrial Designer: Or should we do it in the next meeting ?
Project Manager: But you definitely get a specific instruction
User Interface: so now we are ka thirty minutes alone again ?
Project Manager: But th think about something that is more rounded Just And more It has to be
User Interface: I do not know But the iPod and etcetera MP three players mobile phones
Project Manager: a bit Just just on the top or on the bottom
User Interface: Just a bit cur I will see if I can see any of those
Project Manager: Maybe the wheel can be like like this O if you draw it like this you get a What the fuck is it ? Mm Does not work You see what I mean ? If I draw here It draws about four centimetres lower than Nah Just Maybe you can make it like this And this is all the wheel for volume So that you just It is all rounded so you can do turn this one
Industrial Designer: Like a very big scrollwheel
Project Manager: but just not on the top but on the side of it Maybe I do not know so we have this at the moment
Industrial Designer: I think you will get a a lot of volume changing when it is not wanted
Project Manager: we would have this Is that ?
User Interface: that is a little problem of course as well
Industrial Designer: I think it is probably better but maybe we can make a a plastic so that you i if you like drop it it will not change the volume Only if you use your finger
User Interface: maybe you just have to make it That is not scrollable too easy
Project Manager: Like this And what is the channel choose ? Where do we put that ? Still on the bottom
User Interface: wh what is the middle part ?
Industrial Designer: I think th the numbers should be in the bottom and and the switch channel in the middle
Project Manager: It does not make a difference if you put the s the switch channels on side of each other or on top of each other Because you already have the volume here so You can also put it here one butt and the other one there Next to each other back and forth So you can also can put it all on the top and this you keep this empty Because you have to hold it as well
Industrial Designer: Or you could do the switch channel up button above the the numbers and switch channel down button below
Project Manager: But that is not want to zap very quick so
User Interface: I think zapping is the highest priority
Project Manager: ? Is this a opportunity
User Interface: And then you use those
Project Manager: or you do not want a different
Industrial Designer: but I think we we should bu put them on top of each other so Because then it is it is easy to know m if I push the the the up
Project Manager: But still the next It is still the next one Does not make
Industrial Designer: but the top the top button is is like you switch channel up and down button is If you put them
Project Manager: but fo from left to right is exactly the same It ma it does not make a big difference
User Interface: I I think it is It is it is obvious I think
Industrial Designer: But but I I think left to right is more often associated with volume and top down is more with channel changing
Marketing: that is not not It is not al always the same
Project Manager: But it is exactly th
Industrial Designer: In On most on most remote controls So so if we use that they will probably have a long learning time
Project Manager: I do not know I You already have the volume on the side so you can not make it you can not ma make a mistake
User Interface: I think it is s so simple
Project Manager: So but that is for that is for you
User Interface: I will d I will take a look at it
Project Manager: so What did What else we have to discuss about ? I do not know
User Interface: Think we need to work thirty minutes again ?
Marketing: we have to care that it r looks really new Because we still hold on to the ordinary square remote control Because wha what I see the only difference i i i in fact is that we use a scrollwheel on the outside
User Interface: No you have It is
Industrial Designer: but i i it should be round in in shape
User Interface: the current controllers are all black and plastic You have to look at that image of the iPod More that kind of style Not not the old grey black
Marketing: Some some kind of bling bling mm can we have
User Interface: Where you can put a ve we have If we do it like that we have below have we a lot of room to put a nice logo
Project Manager: the logo was has to be on there that is right
Marketing: and how many fronts fronts do we put on the market then ? five or something ?
Project Manager: five Let us give five
User Interface: Maybe you can buy separate ones and
Marketing: And buy the product You buy you get one And basic Or you can choose one if you buy the project
User Interface: I think That is your choice I think huh
Industrial Designer: No tha that will be
Project Manager: So y you can put the bottom of the remote control in recharger ? Is that is that a good good opportunity ? So you could put it like that
Marketing: you sl you let it slide in the docking station
Industrial Designer: Do we have to design that w as well ?
User Interface: But th that can be very simple Least
Marketing: we can b It c it could be just just a square just a packet
User Interface: just where you are around something Li we had one example
Industrial Designer: But we have to make contacts on the on the remote control and the recharger as well
Marketing: but that is a round one Maybe we can choose then
User Interface: Here you see one that is very round So I think that can be all kind of shapes
Project Manager: But maybe you can just round up the corners a bit That is all
Industrial Designer: Of the remote control ?
User Interface: so y you do not want this like the iPod But More rounded I think it will just look like more like this one Since it is This is also rounded
Project Manager: No just just the corners
User Interface: though those are al already a bit cornered Mm
Industrial Designer: but we can we can do all kinds of As long as it isn is in two D we can use all kind of round shapes
User Interface: but then we have to think of something totally new
Industrial Designer: Not in depth but if if we want to make it kind of new
User Interface: I have I had a lot of picture of old ones And all curves have already been done
Project Manager: It is a bit annoying is not it ?
Marketing: What do we do wrong ? Just just more like this and not a square
Industrial Designer: but we could do a lot of lot more curving I would do it
User Interface: I know we can do a lot more but
Industrial Designer: Like in this kind of shape or I do not know I do not know if it is handy
User Interface: I think it will only look more like the old remote controls
Industrial Designer: The olden the olden ones had looked like just a square thing
User Interface: But I had a lot of pictures Oh I can show you here what the old ones look like You have more there as well It was not very small one very simple
Project Manager: So we have to make a decision what kind of form it is going to have t going to have
User Interface: I think if w My opinion If we just take the iPod and the same look So light or just whatever colour but the same light colours And just with together with the backlights b look will look very new No rubber buttons or something Just together with the backlights you will get a totally new look More like the MP three player M P M P three player
Project Manager: And you have the scroll button inside
User Interface: Yes Just a simple scrollb
Project Manager: But why do we have to round it on the t bottom then ? Of Skip that one as well
User Interface: Does not have to be
Industrial Designer: though that is a trend If we want to make it But I am not a Trendwatcher you are So
Marketing: the t the trend is It is not not a lot of trends I I found
Project Manager: so we have s still one minute left So just I think it is if you just keep it a bit square
Industrial Designer: I d I do not know n something about ergonomic kind of fitsinthehand stuff
Project Manager: But I I think it is still for older people You j still have older people It is only annoying if it if it is like that f formed like that like f Whatever Just you have a normal
Industrial Designer: but we are we are aiming at a young public
Marketing: There is one There is just one overall important aspect is that we must make it fancy and it looks original and I hope we can make it look not like the iPod itself It must have a very different
User Interface: idea But you are If you look at the way remote controls are now
Project Manager: But i it is it is it is already fancy Because of the lights on the bottom of it That is already fancy
User Interface: And if you make it look like the iPod
Marketing: they are all the same
User Interface: So that is already a very big change
Project Manager: maybe maybe make the the mm the wha what is it called scroll wheel Make it in in yellow or something Just like the colours of Real Reaction
Marketing: but if you the f front the scroll wheel will still be yellow
User Interface: Think the scroll wheel will not be very big Since if you put it somewhere the chances that it will scroll are too big So it will just be a small small scroll wheel So it will not stick out much
Project Manager: Maybe the ones we are going to draw there Maybe we have to ask to the the mm to her if it has if it can work better than this Because it does not work properly So maybe you have to ask her
User Interface: maybe we can just open images there and I will paint and paint I will be able to do a better job
Marketing: If you set the pen he will draw here Does not work
Project Manager: so just finish it So we make it a bit like m that one probably Is that ?
User Interface: Bu I agree more like iPod
Project Manager: only the colour and the flashy light and the We just we just skip the the the voca or was it the the speech recognition
User Interface: Just a Speech do we s keep that ? I think
Project Manager: Or keep that ? It is But you would definitely need a
Industrial Designer: I do not know I think so And we we have to build in a microphone and
User Interface: Well that is very easy We already have the beeping of the home station
Industrial Designer: and I do I do not know anything about that I d I did not receive any information on speech recognition
User Interface: strange that I received the information about that
Marketing: Oh that is hard But the ma the main points I I I just said We have to be original and technological innovative Becau
Project Manager: Can we just put it speech recognition in it as well
User Interface: shall we it open then ? So we can put all the
Project Manager: The function of that in there And we need a Probably we need a advanced chip then But it does not say anything about it
Marketing: But we do not have any f information about the cost We started with information about the cost was now th
User Interface: I just I just received the
Industrial Designer: I have I have some some information about the cost But just a about the chip
Marketing: And how much is the chip ? The the the
Industrial Designer: I do not know how much but
User Interface: our division has developed a new speech recognition feature the integrated programmable sample sensor simple speaker you unit This is a very small electronic unit will give a standard answer after it recognise a question
Marketing: And how how does it work ? Is it
User Interface: Does not say Just You say record followed by your question sample and after a few seconds the answer sample Because So it works like good morning remote control and then the remote control says good morning
Project Manager: It does not has to say anything Just You have to just talk to
User Interface: th that is just It is a
Marketing: Does it say does it say something back ?
Project Manager: we have to stop it now So just
User Interface: No it Well that is integrated in the chip so if you use the speech recognition that is in it
Project Manager: that is a r That is that is a advanced
Industrial Designer: But i it is a separate chip
User Interface: I do not know but if we use speech recognition that will be in it as well
Industrial Designer: I do not know anything about this
Project Manager: we just decide not to put it in because it is too difficult
User Interface: Well it it would be would be a good feature feature
Project Manager: we just put it in because it is a good feature We have to stop now
User Interface: No no worries about the cost etcetera And there is a chip in it that will
Project Manager: We have to stop it now | The group decided to have the normal batteries, the scroll wheel with rubber buttons together with back-lights, the beeping of the home station, the round shape as well as the speech recognition with an advanced chip. And they would skip the LCD because they would need the most expensive chip if they used an LCD. |

#Person1#: Good morning. I'm from the new york book review. Could I ask you some question about your latest book?
#Person2#: Sure. Take a seat. . . what would you like to know?
#Person1#: First, I'Ve heard that your latest book is based on a true story.
#Person2#: That's correct. It's a murder mystery based on actual murders that book place in florida several years ago. The main character-the police invesigator-is based on the man who investigated the case.
#Person1#: How do you research your books?
#Person2#: I always visit the places that I use as setting for stories. Readers like things to be as factually correct as possible-even in fiction! I usually base my characters on people I have met. Most charact
#Person1#: I really like your books. I'Ve just finished this one. I read it from cover to cover in a single day. Congratulation on making the bestseller list yet again!
#Person2#: Thank you. Let met sign it for you. . . there you go.
#Person1#: Oh! Thank you very much. I heard that you are currently writing a collection of short stories. What are the stories about?
#Person2#: There's a real mix of stories in the book. I haven't finished all of them yet, though. Many of them are short detective stories, but there are also horror stories and sci-fi ones. If you give me your
#Person1#: Thanks very much. I'm sure it will sell well. I can't wait to read it. Here's my card. Thank you for you time. | #Person1# is from the New York book review and interviews #Person2# about #Person2#'s latest book's writing background and research methods. They also talk about #Person2#'s current writings. |
#Person1#: Management is going through a big turnover these days. With Bill's retirement, and department realignment, we have lost about 1/3 of our managerial staff. They've been dropping like flies...
#Person2#: Isn't that a good thing? Having fewer bosses means having less stress, don't you think?
#Person1#: Actually, I don't think so. Supervisors are really important to make sure everything goes smoothly in the workplace. They are necessary for divvying up work and disciplining employees. If there is no one to keep an eye on us, no one would get any work done. You know what they say, when the cat's away, the mice play.
#Person2#: You're right, we do need leadership. But what we don't need is too many people to lead us. You know what they say about too many chiefs and not enough Indians...
#Person1#: Alright... I get your point. | #Person1# says 1/3 of the managerial staff are lost but #Person2# thinks it's good. #Person1# says the supervisors are good for efficiency but #Person2# thinks there are too many supervisors. |
fighters: Not since I hit Sir Randolph. I really am a terrible shot. I am much more proficient using a halberd.
knight: Well, if you must hit someone, he;s a great choice. Nice guy, dumb as a bag of rocks though. But practice makes perfect. Let's see your form.
fighters: Oh my! I seem to have hit Sir Randolph again!
knight: Well perhaps you were right. Let's leave the shooting to the marksmen.
fighters: Probably for the best. I don't know what Sir Randolph is going to do now that he has lost his other eye.
knight: I think you might have done him a favor taking his vision away. Have you seen his wife?
fighters: True, perhaps he was blind to begin with?
knight: After meeting you today I am very confident in the future of our fighting forces.
fighters: And who do you think we shall fight next?
knight: No one will dare attack the kingdom once they hear the legend of the fighter who can shoot out both of your eyes from 100 yards.
Summarize the dialogue | fighters are terrible at shooting. They hit Sir Randolph twice. They will leave the shooting to the marksmen. |
#Person1#: Room service. May I come in?

#Person2#: Would you please charge them on my bill?
#Person1#: Certainly. Please sign your name here. | #Person1# provides #Person2# the coffee and bread #Person2# wants. |
#Person1#: What do you do in summer?
#Person2#: I love going out into the countryside for walks or bike ride. I love being out in the fresh summer air. How about you?
#Person1#: I don't often go for walks, but I either play sports outside-you know, tennis or badminton-or just sit in the sunshine and read a good book.
#Person2#: What do you do in winter?
#Person1#: Well, I play sports indoors quite often. If I'm feeling lazy, I just watch a film at home. I prefer summer to winter.
#Person2#: I think most people do. I like wearing nice, colorful clothes in summer-you know, a nice dress or skirt. It's too cold for those kinds of clothes in winter.
#Person1#: Yes. I like wearing shorts in summer. My legs would freeze!
#Person2#: Do you think we'll have a nice summer this year?
#Person1#: Thanks to global warming, it could be hotter than ever! | #Person1# and #Person2# talk about what they do in summer and winter. They prefer summer to winter because it's too cold to wear the clothes they like in winter. |
#Person1#: Can you be serious for a moment, we've been dating for 6 months now, I really like you. I'd like to take a relationship to the next level.
#Person2#: So what are you trying to say to me?
#Person1#: It feels like you are not dedicate to our relationship. It seems like you treat it as a just casual dating.
#Person2#: How should I say it?
#Person1#: I don't want to be like this. I think we should get step further.
#Person2#: It has only been 6 months, our relationship hasn't had a chance to maturate. We are still have some hurdle we have to jump over.
#Person1#: Like what?
#Person2#: Last week I saw Brain kissing you on the cheek.
#Person1#: It was only the cheek.
#Person2#: That is ok, then? Starts on the cheek? pretty soon you french kiss in the back on his car.
#Person1#: Oh, that is ridiculous.
#Person2#: So is it ok if I kiss other women on the cheek?
#Person1#: Definitely not.
#Person2#: You see, we still have hurdle. | #Person1# wants to take the relationship with #Person2# to the next level but #Person2# disagrees because #Person1# has ambiguous relations with others. |

servant: I am keeper of the Royal Hearth. I attend to the fire, keeping it burning for the King and his guests' comfort.

Mr. Yves-Franois Blanchet (BeloeilChambly, BQ): Thank you very much MrChair On Friday students in Quebec and Canada will be able to apply for the Canada emergency student benefit which is a good thing This program was necessary particularly because the number of students who will not be able to get back their jobs from last year is much higher than the number of jobs that might be available to these young people There are also issues of duration We do not know how long these jobs will remain unavailable People talked about a risk to being in the labour market and meeting the needs of the labour market On April29 the Deputy Prime Minister made a formal commitment to ensure that these programs are accompanied by work incentives for youth and all CESB recipients So that everyone knows what they are getting into I would like to know whether the employment incentives that will accompany the Canada emergency response benefit will be known by Friday
Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: I thank the hon member for understanding the importance of supporting students who for the most part will not be able to get the summer jobs they were counting on Young people do not just want to earn money they also want to gain work experience That is why we are setting up programs including Canada summer jobs but also another program with 76000new jobs for young people in important sectors so that young people can also get jobs We will continue to work with youth and employers to ensure that gaps in the labour market are addressed while ensuring that youth are wellsupported
Mr. Yves-Franois Blanchet: That is very interesting but it does not answer my question at all People in the fishing tourism and agricultural sectors as well as municipalities and from the very beginning of course the Government of Quebec more generally have expressed fears that job gains will cause people to lose their benefits and discourage them from going to work The only way to avoid that is to ensure that people keep more money as they work more That is the principle In fact we propose that over the 1000nopenalty limit half of the earnings be exempt from penalty Is this something that could be considered ? Since it is been two weeks since the commitment was made and it is urgent can we act now ? The emergency should not last eight months
Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: MrChair young people need money but they also need work experience This is an unprecedented situation which is why we are working with seasonal industries and the different regions to make sure they have a sufficient workforce in their situation Students can be part of it but at the same time we must provide the necessary support for those who can not find a job That is why we continue to work with the industries involved to ensure that they have a sufficient workforce while we support students
Mr. Yves-Franois Blanchet: Unfortunately the spirit of it does not seem to have been understood I doubt that even in the bestcase scenario the government will be able to get all the jobs needed in a timely manner for all these young people to decide to go ahead So first of all there will be a shortage of jobs Second people are not crazy If they earn less by working than they earn by not working all the good faith in the world will not solve the problem Can we make sure that people keep more money in their pockets as they work more ? I think we can have a clear answer given the timeframe People are going to start registering for the program on Friday The principles are good but a clear answer would be good too | The Prime Minister clarified that while young people are in need of funds, especially due to loss of income over the summer, they are also in need of work experience. The government would start providing the Canada emergency student benefit which will assist in this by making both jobs and money available. |

#Person1#: Oh, Idon't know. I don't really care for modern art.
#Person2#: I think you should think ofmodern art like food. You need to taste things to see if you like them. You know, some of the pieces at the exhibition were even for sale. The last one was on sale for $9,000.
#Person1#: $9,000? Well, I may go and visit the exhibition tomorrow, but I'm not going tobuy anything.
#Person2#: OK, let me know how it goes, won't you? And you might give Tom a call. He wanted to go with me today but his aunt was intown so he couldn't. He really wants to go.
#Person1#: OK, I will. | Jenny tells Mark that she has been to the Art Gallery. Jenny persuades Mark to visit the exhibition and asks him to call Tom. |

master of ceremonies: I always get sad when traveling away from my wife and child. We are all very well cared for in this castle. It can be hard to want to leave.
lord chamberlain: It definitely is difficult to leave my wife. How is your newborn child?
master of ceremonies: Great! That's actually why I am in the Privy. I came to get him a candle so she can see to play tonight.
lord chamberlain: Ah! Sounds like she is an exuberant one! Does she normally play this late in the evening?
master of ceremonies: Only on special occasions. She has me wrapped around her little fingers. How is your family?

#Person1#: This is a very spacious apartment. It's forty pings, including the parking space. That's about one thousand four hundred square feet.
#Person2#: Wow. It's just the two of us. I don't know if we need that much room.
#Person1#: You never know when two might turn into three.
#Person2#: I guess you're right. And we'd like to have company anyway.

#Person2#: Now that's a plus! | #Person2# thinks they don't need much room. #Person1# reminds #Person2# they might have the baby someday. |
