#Person1#: How did you get around over there? Did you rent cars? #Person2#: No, that would be too expensive. We used the train system. We bought a special pass called a Eurail pass. It lets people use the train wherever they want, as often as they want. #Person1#: I've heard about Eurail passes. So those Europeans really depend on trains a lot. #Person2#: Yes, they do. I wish we Americans had a better train system. #Person1#: I know. Our train system is lousy. And besides, Americans love their cars too much. #Person2#: I agree. And probably the automobile companies are too powerful. They never allowed the government to develop trains. #Person1#: It's too bad for the environment. So much pollution from cars. #Person2#: Americans love cars for different reasons, I think. One reason is that we are very individualistic. And cars are a very individual way of getting around.

It would be very hard to get us Americans to change this. But you know what? Probably, in the future, Americans will have to change. #Person2#: Why do you say 'have to'? #Person1#: Because the earth's environment can't tolerate cars forever. I think cars are already causing global warming. When the problem gets more serious, world governments will have to start limiting car use. #Person2#: Maybe you're right. They will have to develop alternative transportation. But it will be hard in America. Too many people are used to cars. Even in our movies cars are very important. #Person1#: Wow! I didn't notice the time. It's almost noon. I have to get home. #Person2#: Do you want me to give you a ride? #Person1#: No, no problem. I have my car in the parking ramp around the corner. #Person2#: Alright. Well, I'll stay here and have another coffee. Nice running into you. #Person1#: See you around.

I am merely engaging in story telling. Would you like to join us? priest: I would not. I have pledged to not engage in such activity. wench: Oh loosen up Priest.

If you let us know the requirements you have from the very beginning, we can work through each one until we can come to an agreement. #Person1#: Firstly, we'd like to discuss a discounted price. If you can give us a discount of 7 % on the high volumes orders, we can pay in 60 days. #Person2#: Huh. . . I think 7 % is little high that might be hard to do. How about this? We'll give you a discount of 4 %, but you can have 90 days credits. #Person1#: Well, that might be acceptable, if you handle the insurance fees. #Person2#: No, you have to take care of the insurance. But we are willing to pay the half transport. Can you accept that? #Person1#: We cover the insurance and half the transport fee, and only have a discount of 4 %. #Person2#: But you'll have 90 days to pay your bill and I'll tell you what. . . I'll also throw in the discount of 10 % on your up front deposit. #Person1#: Done. . .

#Person1# and #Person2# negotiate over the details of their trade, including the discount, the insurance fees, the transport fee, etc. They reach an agreement at the end.

Hefin David AM: I am happy to accept that you have changed your opinion there that is no problem at all But with regard to the four consortia and we will take Education through Regional Working as an example it does things differently to the other three Is that a because for concern or do you think that is entirely appropriate ? Kirsty Williams AM: Well ERW does things differently but then so does the Education Achievement Service EAS is constituted in a different way to the Central South Consortium What I am interested in is not necessarily how they are constituted and organised I am interested in the effectiveness of that organisation to deliver for children and for teachers ERW has got particular challenges and we continue to work with those in ERW to address those but increasingly as I said what we are seeing the regional consortia do is develop a national approach to school improvement services but deliver that on a regional basis so that there is greater consistency in terms of delivery Hefin David AM: Are you happy that within the ERW area local authorities employ their own improvement advisers rather than doing it in the way that the others do ? Kirsty Williams AM: We have discussed this at length with them My preference would be for school improvement officers to be employed in the centre and we continue to have those discussions but what is really important to understand is that the regional consortia are not a beast of the Government they are a beast of the local authorities that have worked together to create a school improvement service that meets their needs So we can not impose that solution and we continue to discuss with ERW what is the optimal way and they continue to discuss with their constituent local authorities about how that should be organised

In Hefin's opinion, they took ERW as an example because it did things differently with regard to the four consortia. They were interested in the effectiveness of that organization to deliver for children and for teachers since ERW had got particular challenges. What they were seeing the national consortia do is developing a national approach to school improvement services. What's more, according to Hefin, the regional consortia were not a beast of the Government; they were a beast of the local authorities that had worked together to create a school improvement service that met their needs.

Are you willing to give me a shot? #Person1#: I. . . I. . .

User Interface: Well nah the method we will include the buttons as we discussed earlier an LCD s screen will be implemented we must decide where this meeting there are new developments in speech recognition systems and they are already being used on coffee machines And well they are cheap so we could use them now it is not really speech recognition it is more like you can talk to the chip record the message and record an answer and then once you talk to the remote then he will a answer with the the prerecorded message that you left So if I say hi Mike and you have recorded hi Mike back then you will get that Project Manager: But you can also say that when you say something it does some function User Interface: No it does not does not do anything Project Manager: Oh That is a bit User Interface: But i it is just a Marketing: But that that makes it cheap User Interface: it is it is cheap Marketing: It is it is just a an extra function Project Manager: But it has no functionality for our remote at all User Interface: but that is the gadget they want or the gimmicks Industrial Designer: But it it is n nice for young people User Interface: Yes we we should really include that one I think Well as I said earlier I think the LCD screen should be positioned at the lower end of the remote the buttons for screen width and general settings and and that kind of stuff we can also do let that kind of functions be shown in the LCD screen instead of extra buttons Project Manager: So you put a menu in the LCD ? User Interface: I think young people and w well every user would like that the buttons should be positioned positioned the same way as they are on a well conventional remote I think For the learnability and well to keep it recognisable A voice recognition can be implemented And I drew an example but it did not work quite the well the way I wanted it to do Industrial Designer: Can you draw it now of User Interface: ? Well I have the I can draw it again Industrial Designer: Can you draw it now ? User Interface: and I know what I did wrong I did not tick the note bo box in the Marketing: How do you give input to the menu on the LCD screen ? User Interface: with the the up and down and and well buttons and the Marketing: Alright So you have a menu button and then you can go up and down Project Manager: But then we should also have an an button User Interface: Well I will draw what I had drawn on the screen Yes I shall draw this If it works Project Manager: Just There is already a blank Yes ? So Marketing: You have to push hard Industrial Designer: I suggest a banana shape Because of the fruity fashion Project Manager: No m Next year that is out User Interface: Well these little buttons are a bit difficult to draw correct Industrial Designer: Those are the the cha the channel buttons of course ? And then below is the LCD screen ? User Interface: These these will be bigger in the the real design This must be the button used to interact with the LCD screen And with this you can yes go to through the menus and that can the video button should be an apart button because you want it to t to use it fast within one click Project Manager: And what is the menu button ? Marketing: And you you need a you need a speaker User Interface: This button can also be the Menu button we use in the menus Project Manager: But how did How do you get out of the menu then ? User Interface: Well we we can add another button here but Project Manager: Maybe I you could j just do an an exit with Industrial Designer: by pe pressing the menu button again By pressing the menu button again you go out It is usual the the the d kind of the way it works Project Manager: Yes well but bec because when you push Menu you get in and then you have to push when you get to a choice User Interface: Ah right Well you you Industrial Designer: But you can men you can press menu again to get out Project Manager: Well that is also the button That is you you should have User Interface: No no we we we should add a extra Menu button Project Manager: Or you can put in the LCDs window an option Get Out User Interface: Ah once you have an extra Menu button you do not need that that extra option Project Manager: Well it is just a choice Marketing: But we need a we need a a recording recording button for the speech part User Interface: if we decide to to implement that maybe we should Industrial Designer: Why would you put it then and where is the recording the microphone ? User Interface: Well they that could be anywhere Industrial Designer: Where would you put it ? User Interface: That is very small It could be down here Well not here I I suggest here But that is just a little Marketing: Right and spea speaker at the back or something User Interface: Well the speaker and the microphone I think are the same little hole thingy Industrial Designer: but we could d do but it is perhaps more expensive the speaker on the back or something User Interface: Well i there are a all already being implemented in in coffee machines so they will not be very expensive But This is my suggested design

User Interface talked about the method of including the buttons and the implementation of LCD screens. And he mentioned there are new developments in speech recognition systems as they are already being used on uh coffee machines; and since they're cheap, so he thinks they could use them now, as a small gimmick. As for mic and speaker, User Interface thinks that they are the same little hole things.
