Kirsty Williams AM: Yes they are absolutely central to that planning We know again that some of these children are our most vulnerable and they are some of our most pressurised families Therefore the same situation that we have just described for maintained schools also applies to special schools We will be having discussions about what arrangements can be made for those children within their own usual settings In some cases that may not be possible So again already local authorities are making different provision Can I give a shout out to the work of Rhondda Cynon Taf in this regard who are already doing some excellent work with regard to how they can keep in touch with their children who usually would attend their special schools But again Steve can give more detail
Steve Davies: I think special schools have already been hit by this challenge because a significant proportion of their children because of their conditions have not been coming to school they have been isolated But the principle we have used there is actually even if it is a minority of children who go to those schools and are vulnerable they deserve and need that support through the school So we would expect that to function with the focus on vulnerable children But similarly even in special schools there will be children whose parents will be key workers so we would expect them to apply that same principle Just quickly in response to the earlier question while we may bring some groups of children into separate schools we will have to continue with the principle of keeping social distance and any provision for a child in a special school in a different setting would be unlikely given the nature of the special school so we would look to cater for that within the original school | Already, local authorities were making different provisions. Even in special schools, there would be children whose parents would be key workers. Therefore, they would expect them to expect those sChools to apply the same principle. They would have to continue with the principle of keeping social distance and any provision for a child in a special school in a different setting would be unlikely, given the nature of the special school. Thus, they would look to cater for that within the original school. |

Project Manager: I will get back to my thing then back this up to the screen So I got some new information on the project specifications are changing a little Like you said teletext is not not very popular anymore because the the internet nowadays people do not use the teletext anymore or hardly so it can either Well I do not think we should remove the button because there are always people who are using it But I do not think it should be very it should be one of the big buttons for example Just put it somewhere or under second option or whatever It is not important anymore we are targeting young people now because our This is a new product and with this new product we want to appeal to younger people which are the younger people were defined under forty I so I think it is that is also good with the fashion and everything
Marketing: and they want to pay for it
Project Manager: They want to pay for it people are willing to spend money actually to buy a remote that they like If they like the way it looks the way it functions so they are actually going to spend spend money on it
Marketing: With more Where with more technical specifications
Project Manager: see how far we can go with it anyway so And one thing that should be important is that the corporate l colour and slogan are recognisable which is apparently black and yellow but I am not sure if we I think we should keep the the logo in mind because with colours you can have a lot of fashionable colours and everything on it which suits everybodys taste So With that concept I started thinking so why not just steal Nokias idea and just make changeable covers for your I mean those cost hardly anything I think and people could even spend extra money on buying a cover and so have an entire new remote control that they like to see Or we can sh for example we can make a different a basic design And sell the covers separately for example That is just a little marketing idea that could be applied so you can p it appeals to really everyone So you do not have to I think you do not have to make entire remote controls We make a basic one and manufacture this cover separately So that was that was my idea on what we could do to appeal this product to everyone So just I am not sure if you came up with anything in the meantime after making a presentation Would you like to share ?
Industrial Designer: No I think this is a good idea
User Interface: Is it manageable ? Is it easy ?
Marketing: with with an LCD screen you can
Project Manager: Oh I think we should lose the LCD screen
Industrial Designer: Y Yes I think so too
Project Manager: like you said I think for example it is it is huge I think the LCD is huge it consumes batteries like hell I think it takes up a lot of a lot of power
User Interface: And it costs too much to fabricate
Project Manager: It costs a lot I think
User Interface: so we are on a tight budget here
Project Manager: What we could do what could be possible is maybe not an LCD screen but with a preview but y I am not sure if it is even possible For example a little TV guide Like you have a little just just a text only not colour just a little text thing so you can use your remote as a TV guide I am not sure it is even possible
Industrial Designer: I have to check that out
Project Manager: find a little compromise in that but What did I write down ? I think the p the beep is a very simple thing to imple implement just make a button on your TV and just hit the button it beeps somewhere I think it is easy to implement we should go for that
Industrial Designer: whe where do you want to hit the T you want to we want a button on the television
Project Manager: I thin I mean where else should you put it ?
Industrial Designer: In th but that rules out a universal remote control Because that is not possible
Project Manager: but how are you going to use that if your I mean if your remote control is lost how are you going to press where are you going to press the button ?
User Interface: Maybe just a slapon sticker with a button which sends out a small signal
Project Manager: A slapon sticker Oh you mean as like a separate thing you can attach to your TV A little little box you can attach to your TV is fine then
Industrial Designer: then I would I would like to know now if we want the universal remote control or not because that is determines everything I am going to do
Project Manager: I think it is universal I think we should go for universal because apparently we are a separate company making separate c remote controls to sell to a lot of diverse people I think universal remote control should be possible
Industrial Designer: then I go for that
Marketing: Everyone wants to buy it so we w
Project Manager: I think we are targeting everyone
Industrial Designer: it is fine with me but then I know what to look for
Project Manager: universal is good Speech recognition I think it is very hard because we are selling across multiple countries So I think implementing speech recognition is such a small apparatus it is very hard to do
Marketing: Or when you say one two i it it is enough
Project Manager: but I do not see Arabian people speaking one two whatever
User Interface: Besides that the technology is not really super yet so that is a problem in implementing this
Project Manager: It is not a mature technology I think it takes a lot of memory and everything in in a remote control
User Interface: It is a good idea but it is just not I do not think the markets ripe for that yet
Project Manager: I do not think it should be implemented in a remote control yet What else do we have ? well you should you should look into the in into the materials that are real durable So the the the symbols will not fade maybe a little harder plastic or especially li we do not maybe we do not have have to do all the buttons but especially the ones that are the popular buttons so those always fade first Mm the thing is the most important things that we have now
Industrial Designer: If we make a remote control with changeable covers then we can also make a cover for every language area That is fo is especially for older people that they can read it read it in their own language
Project Manager: Well we are not we are not targeting older people we should remember that Everything we target is under forty You assume that that they read correctly and I think they are The most important thing about young people is that they are really sensitive to to trends that are passing through the world
User Interface: But should the exchangeable covers include the buttons themselves or just the
Project Manager: No of course No I think it is just something you you put over them because we c you ca Well tha that is not a that is not a bad that is not even
User Interface: that is a problem with the with the text then
Project Manager: it is not even a bad idea I mean for example if you are if you are into the durability issue you could For example if your buttons are faded after I mean if you make a durable remote they are faded you can just buy a new cover I am not sure it is it is hard to make So it is a good and a bad idea
Industrial Designer: but I know that the buttons are like a Nokia telephone on one sleeve so you do not have to change your whole cover we can make something that you can only remove the sleeve
User Interface: Oh I know what you mean
Industrial Designer: Know what I mean ? It works the same as a Nokia telephone it is it is in my kay
Project Manager: I know it is just just a one one piece of rubber for example that is what I something I have to look into Either either change both the buttons and and the cover or just the cover I am not sure which which is easier so anyway this is what we are going to do afterwards just lunch break and have more individual work after that so let us see what we let us see we So you have to come up with a components concept I want some you should do some trendwatching because even if we are if we are going to do those covers and everything what people really want that is what we need to know in this phase because that is going to be the essential final design that we are going to come up with I think user interface is fairly obvious I mean it should be very intuitive s it should speak for itself for example I bought a remote control last week with a new TV it was it l it is like all buttons and you have no idea what it does at first and I am total TV new anyway So I think it should be have less or l very little buttons and maybe a second second level menu for the advanced things Or maybe just stick them under a menu like you said the the sound options and the surround and whatever they are more complicated just stick them under one menu and give it a just put it in in s in a software piece you can menu and you can select everything you want to to set on your TV
User Interface: Is it techni technically possible to send a signal to a television and then pops up a menu because we are working with different types of television so we are going to work with that ?
Industrial Designer: I do not think so No I do not think so Because the television needs to respond to the signal
User Interface: It is an inbuilt menu
Industrial Designer: and if it does not know how it is
User Interface: is not it ? Yes
Industrial Designer: Exactly that is not possible
Project Manager: I am not sure if it is impossible but there is a chance it is not so
User Interface: Or we could use a doublesided for less used functions
Project Manager: A doublesided remote control ? I do not think that is useful
User Interface: with the cover I it is basically an idea to overcome these issues
Project Manager: but then you are going to have a lot of wasted buttons For example you have a Sony TV and the half of the buttons will not function if you have a for a Sony that will not for a Philips TV
User Interface: but functions which are not frequently used
Project Manager: I do not think we should
User Interface: Because if we use a universal remote control we are going to have to have most buttons on it
Project Manager: for ex you have to make it a little decision between the part if you want a universal remote control that it should do what people usually do with their TVs not not the very complicated settings that you can usually do that with either a old old remote control if they really hate that thing but you can not you can not take into consideration all the different brands of TVs
Industrial Designer: But that might be broken
Project Manager: I think there is I think there is a standard for example between because usually the the menu is the menu button is is usable between different brands Especially the big ones the big brands so Because everybody I have a universal remote control and it can use the menu button so I think I am not sure if you can put some research into that if it is possible I think just a b and the navigation is very basic it is usually the same thing
Industrial Designer: Mm But I think there must be a way to invoke the more complicated functions of a television For instance if your old remote control is broken and you buy ours then you should be able to get everything out of the television that is in it
Project Manager: that is true I think so
Industrial Designer: Because otherwise you will lose functions by buying our
Project Manager: we need to put some research into that if if we can open the menu I think it is possible just the way how to
Industrial Designer: I thi I think so too
Project Manager: then then you could do everything I suppose because usually the TVs have tha that inside in this other little piece of software so it is
Industrial Designer: And I think that our r remote control should not look like any other For instance Sony makes all their remote controls exactly the same for all their devices and you always grab the wrong one because formatting of the buttons is exactly the same only the labels are different
Project Manager: I think it should be a little distinct from everything else
Industrial Designer: We should not do that
Project Manager: because it is either it is both mayb maybe the shape can be a little different
User Interface: I have some ideas I have some ideas
Project Manager: Maybe it is a little more curves or whatever
Industrial Designer: Mm that is your division
User Interface: I will put some on paper and present them next time the ideas that I have
Project Manager: because we have forty minutes I am not sure how much time we have left for the meeting anyway so
User Interface: I heard a beep go
Project Manager: but it was not me it was him closing something | At first Project Manager limited remote control's appealing population to younger people less than 40 years, which meant their remote control should be trendy. And also corporate color and slogan should be recognizable on the remote control, which contributed to the idea of whether there should be a replaceable cover. |
large spiders: Ogre, you are out making your rounds I see
ogre: Yes, indeed. I scared off a couple fat humans lurking about. Now I'm looking for some dinner.
large spiders: Why would you scare them off without getting a coin or two or maybe some food for yourself
ogre: Ah, these were peasants. They had nothing. They were scouring the forest in search of treasure. But I have all the treasure here!

priest: It's all feed me this and I'm hungry that. At least it's stopped swearing. Some of the older parishioners just about died of shock when they heard it.
bird: Get rid of me then and give me to someone that knows a thing about being responsible!
priest: And the bird can't even be grateful. Here I am one of the most respected men in town, and how much gratitude do I get? 0.
bird: Respected only because they don't know how irresponsible and evil you really are!

Project Manager: d let us start with the cost aspect so so I look at the aspect discussed last time that is to say to have a standard battery to have a yellow banana shaped case with a rubber material around it to be to feel spongy and also at the different aspect like having a wheel etcetera And the cost ended to be ten point seven Euros So which is good because we had a price of twelve point five Euros | This was a product shaped like a banana, with a standard battery and a wheel. The materials to manufacture this product included a yellow banana shaped case and a rubber. All of these summed up to cost 10.7 Euros, which was within their budget. And they had a price gap of 12.5 Euros, so they set the price at 25 Euros, which was very reasonable and attractive. |

squire: Do you think the basilisk is close? I am eager to leave this dungeon.
knight: Why would you want to leave your duty post, sire?

Professor D: Mm I guess one thing that might also be an issue cuz part of what you are doing is you are getting a a spectrum over a bunch of different kinds of speech sounds and so it might matter how fast someone was talking for instance You know if you if if if there s a lot of phones in one second maybe you will get a a really good sampling of all these different things and and on the other hand if someone s talking slowly maybe you would need more So I do not know if you have some samples of faster or slower speech but it might make a difference I do not know
Grad C: I do not I do not think the TI digits data that I have i is would be appropriate for that But what do you What about if I w I fed it through some kind of speech processing algorithm that changed the speech rate ?
Professor D: but then you will have the degradation of of whatever you do added onto that But maybe maybe if you get something that sounds that that s does a pretty job at that
Grad C: Well just if you think it s worth looking into | The professor thought it mattered how fast someone was speaking since the model was getting a spectrum over different kinds of speech sounds. He was skeptical that changing speech rate was the solution, though he thought it was worth looking into. His solution was collecting more samplings of different phones for when people speak slower. |

#Person1#: Let's begin by having you tell me about yourself and your background.
#Person2#: I have been working as a paralegal for the last 10 months through an agency that specializes in the legal field. My experience has been supporting attorneys in the field of labor law, where I have been able to apply my paralegal education. I was commended on my ability to take information and break it down into usable facts. I really love research and analyzing facts. My major in college was English, and as a result, my writing skills are my major strength. I am looking for a position where my research and writing skills can be used.
#Person1#: What do you think are the key qualities needed to succeed in the paralegal profession?
#Person2#: Flexibility would certainly rank high in this type of job. In my last position, I supported four lawyers, and it was not unusual for them all to give me high-priority items to do in the same day or week. There were days when I had to stop and prioritize my work just to get a handle on everything. I would discuss the urgency of their work with each of them so I didn't drop the ball. At the same time, I made sure each of them felt like his or her project was important on my agenda. I think communication is probably the next key quality. It really worked well when I talked with each of them, explained my situation, and got their input.
#Person1#: Can you give me an example of a time when you had to work above and beyond your job description?
#Person2#: There was a very important project that had to be researched and completed by the end of the week. Even though I worked extra hours every night for almost two weeks, my boss and I stayed until 2 a. m. for two nights before the final wrap up. It was very rewarding to have put so much effort into a project and see the really great results. My boss gave me a bonus for my extra effort.
#Person1#: Tell me about a time when you had to research a case and encountered some obstacles you had to overcome.
#Person2#: I remember a case that was filled with obstacles. The first thing I did was research through documents and past cases that had similar circumstances. I assembled the facts and then tried to put them together and analyze the next step. I was able to get some input from another lawyer I happened to see at lunch. Through some hard work and fact digging, I was able to find a way to overcome most of the obstacles. I took my findings to my boss and made some recommendations, which she and I discussed and eventually resolved. My boss was impressed with the work I had done.
#Person1#: What are your strengths and weaknesses?
#Person2#: My strengths are my caring about getting the job done. I am very results-driven and have been able to meet all my deadlines in past jobs. As far as weaknesses, I really enjoy my work, and sometimes I put in too much time. But I am aware of my tendency to overwork and have learned to pace myself more.
#Person1#: Tell me about a time when you had a confrontation with a coworker or boss.
#Person2#: I did have an issue with someone who was getting on my nerves. I asked her if I could talk with her one day, and we had a good discussion. It turned out she was not aware of the impact of her actions and that she really needed an explanation of the procedure. I took the time to explain the procedures, and there haven't been any problems since that day.
#Person1#: When do you find a job satisfying?
#Person2#: My biggest satisfaction is when I experience growth in a job. When I first started as a paralegal, I had a lot to learn. But through hard work, advice from some good mentors and continuing education, I have come a long way. I've learned to be flexible when possible and to deal with difficult people in a positive manner.
#Person1#: How would your coworkers describe you?
#Person2#: First, they'll say I have a lot of energy and enthusiasm. I really enjoy working with people. Secondly, they'll say I had great customer service skills. I put the customer first. And thirdly, they'll say that I know the law. I put a lot of effort into my education as a paralegal and take it seriously.
#Person1#: Do you have any questions?
#Person2#: Yes, I do. On a scale of one to 10, what would you say morale was in this company? | #Person1# interviews #Person2#, who is looking for a position to use #Person2#'s research and writing skills. #Person2# majors in English and has been working as a paralegal for the last ten months. #Person2# thinks flexibility is the key quality of a paralegal. #Person2# gives examples of the time when #Person2# had to work above and beyond the job description, the time of encountering some obstacles when #Person2# had a confrontation with a coworker. #Person2# also talks about #Person2#'s strengths and weaknesses and how coworkers describe #Person2#. #Person2# finds a job satisfying when #Person2# experiences growth in it. #Person2# also asks #Person1# how #Person1# scales morale in the company. |

#Person1#: Do you have a boyfriend?
#Person2#: Yes. Why?
#Person1#: Well, I came to know a girl 3 weeks ago and we have so much in common.
#Person2#: So?
#Person1#: So I think I may fall in love with her.
#Person2#: You are attracted to her. That sounds great, but how do you know that it is a crush or it's real love?
#Person1#: Then what's the difference between having a crush and falling in love?
#Person2#: That's a big question. Well, if you are in love, maybe you'll take every opportunity to talk to her or telephone her for no reason at all.
#Person1#: That's what I did.
#Person2#: And you think about her all the time?
#Person1#: Yes.
#Person2#: And maybe you suddenly have new interests. I mean you suddenly begin to do things you used to avoid, ie. You used to sleep in every morning, but because she jogs every morning, then you begin to like jogging.
#Person1#: That's it. She likes dogs so much now, and I begin to love dogs.
#Person2#: Oh, congratulations! Sounds like you've found your soul mate.
#Person1#: Thanks. But I know falling in love is one thing, while staying in love is another.
#Person2#: Yeah, that's right. If you find this person is more and more important to you and you can totally trust her, then you can stay in love.
#Person1#: Yeah. Falling in love is so good!
#Person2#: While staying in love is even better. | #Person2# met a girl but can't tell if it's a crush or real love. #Person1# analyzes for #Person2# and thinks #Person2# has found the soul mate. |

#Person1#: good for you! It sounds like you've done a lot of planning in a very short time.
#Person2#: yes, there is a lot of to be taken care of---wedding photos, wedding dress, catering, transport, hotel, etc. . .
#Person1#: is everything ready now?
#Person2#: almost. The only thing that isn't ready is the hotel. As a lot of people have chosen that day to get married, it is hard to find a hotel that isn't too expensive.
#Person1#: have you tried The Peninsula Palace Beijing? My wedding reception was held there and they did an excellent job.
#Person2#: yes, we called, but it is booked up. The only choice is the Regent Beijing but we haven't made up our minds yet.
#Person1#: it's an excellent hotel. A friend of mine had her wedding reception there and said it was perfect, though very expensive.
#Person2#: that's why we want to have a look at other hotels. We don't want to spend too much on an extravagant wedding reception.

#Person2#: Is that type of plant found in this country?

Industrial Designer: and then we we are loo looking into battery options There is actually no rechargeable option available so we I saw the the standard double A and triple A which we thought were a bit bit too bulky at the moment dynamo charging I thought that that might be a bit silly to be to be honest
Project Manager: Wa can you explain that ?
Industrial Designer: people will not it is it is basically like windup radio So you wind up your remote control before you use it
Project Manager: How what kind of how l long can you get out of that I mean can you pick it up and then wind it for two minutes and then that is it for the night ? Or
Industrial Designer: You oh I presu you would not have to wind it for very long but I do not I do not think it is really sort of necessary when you th you think of the next two options like the the solar charging because most people have the light on in the room anyway so they could get when when you got TV
Project Manager: That does not count though does it ?
Marketing: Does does light charge as as sunlight does ?
Project Manager: I thought it was UV like
Industrial Designer: Is it ? Alright i
User Interface: Yep Regarding those sizes which one you think will be light because we we have to take into consideration size also so maybe a standard triple A might take lesser space or and dynamo might take more space
Industrial Designer: it would the d the dynamo would take more space because you actually need a physical sort of handle to wind up
Project Manager: I am pretty sure that solar is from the sun I do not think it counts electric lights no but I mean not many you do not want to limit your market I mean people who live in basement flats there is not that many people but there are people
Marketing: different parts of the world too if we are if we are marketing internationally
Industrial Designer: and most people most people also watch TV in the in the night anyway
Project Manager: Mm but then it would be charging through the day I think the point is that it charges through the day and then you have got it charged for the evening
Industrial Designer: But I I think I think the the next ones the best anyway The the kinetic charging which is like you get it in r you get it in wrist watches and you d you do not even notice it I mean the amount the amount of probably moving around you would be doing all the time would would charge it up I do not think you would ever need to actually physically start shaking it up to make it work
User Interface: And are these like what are the life of the kinetic battery it like it runs for long time ?
Industrial Designer: it is it charges into some form of it is a smaller cell which it charges into and the si the size sort of a watch a watch battery because they use them quite frequently in watches And that will that would l would last for well I do I d I am not entirely sure how long it would last but I have never seen one run out
Project Manager: But then if you think about a watch it is on your wrist so it is on your whole bod it is on your body the whole time so you are walking around you are doing things it is moving a lot of the time If you would I mean you switch the TV on then you put it on the side then you pick it up to change it and then you put it on the side Is it really going to be enough ?
Industrial Designer: I I think it is because if you think about it the watch although it is only a tiny amount it is it is it is always moving for the whole day and they do not run out over night when you leave them on the side And th for the same the same reason you are only using it for a v incredibly short amount of time just to send the signal and then you are finished with it
Project Manager: So it is not the draw on it is not
Industrial Designer: no no I do I do not think the the draw on it would be
Marketing: Could I just ask referring back to solar charging is that compatible with standard batteries ? I mean could people put standard batteries in but with a s you know they could leave it in the sunlight for solar charging
Industrial Designer: Ye I think I th g y you could have a dual power thing
Marketing: or the two things not compatible ?
Project Manager: Like a dual kind of
Industrial Designer: but the the thing with the solar cells is you would need to put them on the case and they because if you lie on a calculator they they are qui they are quite big and they all they all look i identical
Marketing: Mm So that affects the exterior design
User Interface: Solar would be slightly expensives
Project Manager: Expensive as well What kind of price are we looking at for
Industrial Designer: They are they are expensive they do not
User Interface: It is twelve point f
Project Manager: I presume the normal batteries are the cheapest ?
Industrial Designer: the normal batteries would be the cheapest I would presume then it would actually be the the solar charging ones but the It is i I think they are not very resistant to dropping because if you drop stuff if you if you have y
Project Manager: Well they are not designed
Industrial Designer: the size you would need to charge a remote would not be that big but I mean if remotes always get thrown around and stuff so Y I think practically I mean calculators you do not really throw around a lot whereas remotes you do
Project Manager: You do get a bit of wear but do not calculators have a battery in them as well ?
Industrial Designer: they do they they have got dual things but they are the batteries are smaller I think
User Interface: sorry W w which one would last the longest because we do not want customers to be like you know charging like a mobile phone every day so we have to s look at the life also
Industrial Designer: so the the the s if you if you had something du using the standard batteries and the solar charging I do not think you would I think the it would d well you know how long the standard double As would last in or triple As would last
Marketing: It would just detract from the attractiveness of the of the whole feature
Industrial Designer: I think i I think it would
Marketing: i it is not going to add anything
Project Manager: can we add in an attachment to closing feature ? Can we think about that ? Because if we are doing the kinetic thing and it is
Marketing: Should not we do some market research on that first before we add it in because I I personally
Project Manager: Well add it in to think about because where am I ? If it is the kinetic thing and it is small and it is portable and it is a different shape and the kinetic is something people do not do kind of we are doing something original and different but if you wore it if it is something you could just clip on your pocket then you would have that less you you would not lose it so much But then maybe that is looking at someone who is just sitting on their own rather than the eternal battle for control of the controls
Marketing: It is not something that is come up in any of our focus groups and market research it is not a thing that people are looking for when we threw it open to the field But it is something to put on the side to think about maybe | Standard AA and AAA are bulky but the cheapest. Dynamo and dual charging with normal batteries and solar charging take up too much space. Solar charging is the second cheapest but not resistant to dropping. Also, Project Manager believed it would limit the market. Kinetic charging is small and portable but market research should be done first. No rechargeable battery options were available. The remote could have a standby mode and the lights behind the buttons would be switched off after five or ten seconds when not in use. |
