#Person1#: Wow! Your fruit looks really fresh! How much are these apples? #Person2#: The apples are 30NT each. How many would you like? #Person1#: Let's see, 30NT is about... almost a dollar US. What?! How about these pineapples? #Person2#: They're 250NT each, but they're not edible. They're only used for worship. #Person1#: Hmm, 250NT is... 8 dollars?! ! And you can't even eat them? You're crazy! #Person2#: Wait! Don't go just yet. These bananas are pretty cheap--only 35NT for this bunch. #Person1#: Now that's more like it! Bananas have lots of potassium, too! #Person2#: They're also good for your digestion! Would you like some kiwis, too? #Person1#: Are they from Taiwan? #Person2#: They're imported from New Zealand. Four for 50NT. Nine for a hundred. #Person1#: OK. I'll take four kiwis.

#Person1#: Come in, please. #Person2#: Good morning, Mrs. Smith. #Person1#: Good morning. You are Mr. Sun, aren't you? Take a seat, please. #Person2#: Yes, thank you. #Person1#: I've noticed from your resume that you majored in accounting at Peking University. Will you please tell me something about your related courses? #Person2#: In the first academic year we learned Principles of Accounting, and in the following years we learned Cost Accounting, Commercial Accounting, Industrial Accounting, and Management Accounting. #Person1#: Have you taken Accounting for Decision-Making and Control? #Person2#: No, we haven't taken such a course, but we have taken a more specialized course for decision making, by the name of Forecasting and Decision-Making. #Person1#: From your school report card, I can see you did well in every course. But our advertisement says we need an accountant with practical work experience. #Person2#: I forgot to include my experience as an accountant in my resume. In fact, I took a part-time job as an accountant at the Atlantic Trading Company during my second and third school year. I worked three evenings a week there and I did quite well. Here is the recommendation. #Person1#: You can speak English fluently but I wonder if you can deal with bookkeeping and accounting in English. #Person2#: No problem. The professional English course is just English for Accounting. Moreover, as you know, the Atlantic Trading Company is a Sino-Australian joint venture. When I served part-time there, I became well acquainted with accounting operated in English. #Person1#: That sounds fine. Why did you choose to apply to our company? #Person2#: I have a relative working as a manager in your manufacturing department. Her name is Lilling. She told me a lot about your company and I became quite interested. I believe I can have a promising career with the development of this company. #Person1#: Do you know something about the payment we give to our employees? #Person2#: No, can you tell me about it? #Person1#: Of course. As for an entry-level accountant, we pay 1, 500 a month in the first half year. We have a grading system to evaluate your work. If you have made progress, we will certainly raise your salary. For beginners with a CPA certificate, they can earn at least 2, 000 a month. #Person2#: I have passed the five courses required by the Chinese CPA Association, but the certificate won't come to hand until next month. How about that? #Person1#: I hope you can show me your CPA certificate before we reach a decision by the end of July. #Person2#: Thank you, Mrs. Smith. It is really a pleasure talking with you. #Person1#: The same for me. We'll keep in touch with you. #Person2#: Thank you. Good-bye.

a napping mouse: I sleep most of the time, it's my career. advisor: The pay must be terrible. a napping mouse: I do it mostly for the quality of life it allows me. advisor: I see, I am trying to get myself ahead personally. Any ideas to advance my status? a napping mouse: Well, I would suggest sleeping in sunbeams and listen to any noises which might indicate a cat is nearby.

I usually deal mostly in crumbs. advisor: Hmm yes, I suppose you might not have been the right fellow to ask. a napping mouse: *yawn* So how long do you sleep? advisor: Only about six hours a night, the early bird gets the worm after all. a napping mouse: Oh my!

Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Thank you What are the outcomes of the stakeholder workshop held last week on early help and enhanced support ? And how are the actions going to be taken forward and implemented ? And also given that the Together for Children and Young People programme comes to an end in October of this year who in your view is best placed to forward this work stream and what will be the biggest challenges ? It is a bit of a long question so break it up however you like And what will be the biggest challenges that they will face ? Carol Shillabeer: Yes I think that is helpfully laid out in three stages So you are absolutely right there was a highly successful workshop last week really focusing on early help and enhanced support It brought all of the agencies together which was—and actually had a bit of a waiting list apparently for places So there was a lot of demand and a lot of interest in this In relation to the next steps there is a planning group reflection in early July in terms of the outcomes of the workshop or the outputs of the workshop and there are three commitments that have been made to this stage One is that we develop those valuesled approaches that will bring multiple agencies together to have that common purpose The second one is to develop the ingredients for successful working in this area and then thirdly to determine or propose priorities and sequencing of next steps So that is the next stage of that I am pretty sure we will come on shortly—or hopefully—to the potential of the regional partnership boards There is some work that we are doing as a programme with the childrens commissioner in terms of working more with the regional partnership boards in taking forward this work So that will run alongside But during the summer then we will be developing that framework approach and we will be participating in the Association of Directors of Social Services conference in September and then a followup workshop in October on this matter On your question of Well what happens after the programme ? we are currently working on legacy arrangements for the programme I am pretty secure on the specialist CAMHS element That will move most likely to the CAMHS network which is part of the NHS mental health network I actually chair the mental health network and that is one part of that The wholeschool approach element is already settled in Government and we have got a connection in to that The question that is outstanding is where the early help and enhanced support and the neurodevelopmental will go I am currently in discussions with Welsh Government officials around that I can be very clear of my own view that there needs to be a confident and clear legacy arrangement for this work We can not afford that we have come so far for this not now to proceed I think there is a huge momentum behind this I do not see there would be any obstacles—I hope—in getting that commitment translated into a strong approach as we move forward So I am not in a position to say And the legacy arrangements will be— but I am in a position to say that I am having those discussions with Welsh Government officials They know my view that we have got to put something in place that is strong and secure as we move forward and I believe that they are supportive of that

The specialist CAMHS element would move to the CAMHS network. The whole-school approach had already been settled in the Government while the programme had constructed a relative connection.

#Person1#: I don't know if we'll be able to spare a whole day at the Ocean Park. We've only got four days in Hong Kong, remember. #Person2#: Oh right, well, in that case, I'd advise you to get there early. It opens at 10 o'clock in the morning on weekdays. Look, I think I've got a plan of the place somewhere. Let me see.., yes, here we are. You can have this. #Person1#: Thanks. #Person2#: OK I'll show you. Let's start with the lower level. See? Here? You arrive by taxi or bus or whatever here, on the right, can you see? That's the bus terminal. And you go in through the main entrance. You could go to Water World first but I think you'd better miss that out as you're short of time, you said. You see the cable cars? Well, those long lines are the wires and the little circles are the cars going up and down to the next level. Well, walk past the cable car terminal, at the bottom of the plan, and bear right past the Waterfall Gardens. Actually, have a look in, there are ducks and other birds in the pool there-it's very pretty. Then you'll see some steps up on the left. Follow that path and you'll come to the Centenary Garden which is a good place to stop and take pictures if you've got your camera. Then carry on until you're almost at the Children's Zoo. Right. I wouldn't bother to visit the zoo if I were you, it takes quite a long time to walk round. But I do recommend the 'Touch and Feed' section opposite, as I said. It's great fun for small children. #Person1#: Ok, so we'll pay a visit there, and then what? #Person2#: You could come back a different way past the Chinese rock garden. Oh, that's lovely-do wander around if there's time. Then go down the steps to the Otter Pool-you can have a sit down there for a little while and watch the otters messing around in the water. Then back to the cable car terminal where you can catch a car to the upper level. The journey takes about ten minutes, I suppose, it's quite a long way. Now if you look at the other plan, the one for the upper level, you'll see where you arrive. #Person1#: Is this the terminal here in the bottom left hand comer? #Person2#: Yes, that's right. The fun fair is in the top left hand corner. Can you see? With 'The Dragon' I was telling you about, and 'The Octopus' and 'The Spider'. Do you think you'll want to go to that? #Person1#: Um, well, I think the children are a bit too young really, but they might enjoy watching other people. #Person2#: OK. Well, if you're feeling quite hungry by the time you arrive, which you probably will be, why not have a snack in the Chinese Restaurant next to the terminal? When you've finished your lunch, I would go to the Coral Reef first. It's that little building on the left hand side. 'That's where you can see fish and other underwater creatures in a kind of natural habitat. #Person1#: Right. That sounds interesting. #Person2#: It's lovely. After that, walk up to 'The Dragon' and watch people being really scared! Then you could come down to the Ocean Theater, which is just to the left of the center of the plan- and see a performance of dolphins or maybe the killer whale. You'll have to check the times for that. There's one at two o'clock, I think. I'm not sure about the high diving, but you may be able to see that as well. If there's time, you could also carry on to the fight and have a look at Wave Cove. And finally, if you're not too exhausted by then you could return to the lower level by using the famous escalator. You'd be finished by 3:30 or 4 at the latest. #Person1#: Right, well, thanks for all your advice. Urn, we'll send you a postcard! #Person2#: I'll look forward to it.

Since #Person1# just has four days in Hong Kong, #Person2# suggests #Person1# get to Ocean Park early. #Person2# also shows different levels of the park. #Person2# recommends the Waterfall Gardens, the Centenary Garden, the Children's Zoo, the 'Touch and Feed' section opposite at the bottom of the plan. #Person1# can come back a different way past the Chinese rock garden and visit the Otter Pool. If #Person1# feels hungry, #Person1# can have a snack in the Chinese Restaurant. Then #Person1# can walk to 'The Dragon', the Ocean Theater, and Wave Cove. #Person1# thanks for #Person2#'s advice and will send a postcard.

Lynne Neagle AM: And you have got a structured programme have you to roll that out ? Thank you We have got some questions now on leadership and the first questions are from Siân Gwenllian Sian Gwenllian AM: Good morning I will be speaking in Welsh The Minister for health said yesterday in answering a question from me on the Chamber floor that you gave him advice not to have a target in terms of reducing obesity among children Could you confirm that that is what your advice was and tell us why you do not think that a target is needed ? Dr Frank Atherton: My advice was not that we do not need a target—we may well need a target and that is one of the issues we need to consult on—but that the target that had been adopted in England and in Scotland to halve the prevalence of obesity in children was more aspirational than deliverable and that if we are to choose a target in Wales then we need to balance deliverability with challenge We need a challenging environment So there is something about performance management because I would be looking to not just the health system but the health and care system and to public services boards to think about how they are delivering on this and I think we can use targets to that But they are one tool in the box that I would think we could use and part of the consultation is to ask that question—If we are to go down a route in Wales of choosing a target what might that look like ? Sian Gwenllian AM: So to be clear you are not ruling out that maybe we would need a target Dr Frank Atherton: It is certainly something that we could consider in terms of the final strategy Sian Gwenllian AM: And is that your opinion too ? Well that is contrary to what I was told yesterday on the floor of the Chamber by the Minister but there we go I am glad to hear that you are not ruling out having a target because without a target without something to aim for how do we know that we are getting there ? Dr Frank Atherton: I think your point about evaluation is really important Whatever we produce at the end of this process—and we are looking to produce a final strategy towards the autumn—we do need to have a strong evaluation So some metrics in there it would seem would be appropriate but what those are what the nature of those are do we frame them as targets or ambitions—that is the point we need to consult on Sian Gwenllian AM: And the other point of course is the investment If the Government is going to be successful in terms of the aim of reducing childhood obesity then it needs to fund and support the actions Have you made an assessment of the level of investment needed to implement this plan ? Dr Frank Atherton: Resourcing will be important We currently do make investments in a number of areas that relate to child health generally and of course obesity and overweight in particular So the question of resourcing is important Now we can not quantify an absolute amount of resource that will be needed to deliver until we know exactly what is going to come out of the consultation and what actions we might want to deliver to a greater degree in Wales A figure of £8 million to £10 million a year has been banded around as a broad kind of area of what we might need to invest but that would need to be drawn from existing programmes We need to look at existing programmes how effective they are Can we make them more effective ? Can we get better value from them ? And there may well be a case for new investment and that is a question of course that would need to be discussed with Ministers when we are producing the final strategy Nathan Cook: But I think a key consideration as well is we already know there is investment across health boards in some kind of obesityrelated services So I think what we really need to think about across Wales is how we can drive greater scale how we can look at current programmes in terms of making sure that they are better evaluated and how we can make sure that we are also drawing up on the existing resources and capacity out there as well Sian Gwenllian AM: And does the level of investment depend on what the target is—what the goal is ? Dr Frank Atherton: I do not think you can necessarily just link the two The issue of resourcing is one that is there irrespective of whether we choose to put a target in place Sian Gwenllian AM: But how would we know that it is being used effectively if there is not something to aim for ? Dr Frank Atherton: Which brings you back to the question about evaluation We need proper evaluation of the various programmes that we have Sian Gwenllian AM: Yes but without a target how can you properly evaluate ? If you do not know what you are trying to do how can you properly evaluate ? Anyway you are open to suggestions about having a target which is great Would you agree that Government could use the revenue that is being produced through the levy on soft drinks towards some of these efforts to— ? Dr Frank Atherton: Well of course there are some consequentials that are coming to the Welsh Government as part of the levy on sugary soft drinks That funding of course is less than we had anticipated and that reflects actually a success story because industry is reformulating and so the amount of sugar in soft drinks is already starting to decrease which is a good thing But to your question : should we use the funding ? Well of course we should use funding I am not personally in favour of hypothecation I think I am more interested in the totality of resource that goes into public health programmes than into marginal resource There are of course a number of initiatives that we currently fund through the general revenue And when I think about obesity I do not just think about the relatively small marginal amounts of money that come in through whatever source but I think about the totality of the £7 billion we spend in health and social care and how we can divert and channel some of that towards broad prevention initiatives in general and towards tackling being overweight and obesity in particular Sian Gwenllian AM: You are saying that it is less than expected Could you give us any kind of figure ? Dr Frank Atherton: I am sorry could you repeat the question ? Sian Gwenllian AM: You say that there is less money that is come in through these consequentials from the levy can you mention some sort of figure ? Dr Frank Atherton: The figure that I have in mind is about £56 million that is coming in in terms of revenue over a twoyear period But I would have to confirm that with the committee What the anticipated— When the sugar levy was first brought in there was some modelling at UK level about what level of revenue that would bring but it was based on the amount of sugar that was currently then in drinks and the fact that the sugar has reduced in drinks I mean the total amount available to the UK is less and hence our consequentials are less Nathan may have some precise figures Nathan Cook: Yes I was going to say there was a midyear report done where the levy has raised £150 million to date since coming into force in April and the original forecast was £520 million a year So I think that shows the amount of work that is been done by industry around reformulation Sian Gwenllian AM: And the consequentials of that ? That is the consequential—£150 million Yes so what is the Welsh consequential ? Fiftysix ? Gosh that sounds a lot Anyway it is a good sum of money and you are talking about investing £8 million to £10 million So obviously you know we can be more ambitious because there is money in that pot if that money was ringfenced for this particular scheme Dr Frank Atherton: Well the resource is going to be a real issue that we need to address and I think as Nathan has said there is funding of various initiatives currently in the system and we need to look at that and make that as effective as possible Will there be a need for some additional resource ? There may well be and that is a question that we will have to look at in terms of the strategy when we develop it and have a discussion with Ministers about the level of resourcing

There was no exact evaluation but Dr Frank Atherton did think they should have a strong one. The draft strategy also made an estimate in investment which would be £8 million to £10 million a year. Investment would be spent on different sources and they should pay more attention to extending them. Speaking of leadership, Dr Frank Atherton agreed to its importance and made his own opinion that local leadership was essential and they should also have national oversight at the same time.

Wilma: Hola! No photos? very unusual for you! hope everything's ok? Patty: Absolutely. Just a long drive from Cancun to Merida. On the following day we went to reconnoiter the city and got lost on the way back. Found it shortly before dark, scared stiff. Thank goodness that my mobile had enough juice to get us on google maps back home. And yesterday we went to the beach, 20 km away, and stayed there till sunset. Now that we know out way around... Wilma: And do you like Merida? Patty: <file_photo> Patty: It's ok but nothing breath-taking. But good vibes, natural atmosphere as there are few tourists here. And in Sisal, on the coast, we were probably the only ones. We went to a fish restaurant offering of course "catch of the day" and it was superb. No idea what we ate though. Pescado. Full stop. Patty: <file_photo> Wilma: This makes me envious! Patty: Yeah... Sth you can have only here. Or in any other seaside town for that matter! Wilma: A meal eaten at a table standing (nearly) on a beach... Eating fish that swan only hours ago... Patty: Don't be so bloody romantic! The nearby fishing harbour stank like hell, the restaurant had no proper toilet, and they never use black pepper to season their fish. And no white wine but beer. Wilma: you know what? you are starting to get on my nerves! Patty: Joking!

Patty is visiting Merida. On the first day she got lost and had a trouble finding her way back from the city. According to Patty, Merida is ok, has good vibes and few tourists, but it's nothing special.
