#Person1#: Well, it's too bad that we like different kinds of movies. Maybe we're just different kinds of people.
#Person2#: Yeah it's too bad. . . but actually I think I know what to do.
#Person1#: What's that?
#Person2#: We can go to a horror movie, and I'll hold your hand so you don't get scared.
#Person1#: You mean. . . like on a second date?
#Person2#: Of course! Or are you still too scared!
#Person1#: No way! That sounds great! | #Person2# suggests going to a horror movie next on the second date, and #Person1# agrees. |
bird: You are so very kind! I shall dub thee the Kingfisher! A true King among the fisherfolk!
fisherman: I am honored friend bird. Here are the worms I promised. Are you ready to set sail?
bird: Yes, I am ready to depart when you are!
fisherman: Great, let's go. So, why do you seem to be alone? Where is the rest of your flock?
bird: I'm a rare species, one of the last of my kind! Either that or I became incredibly lost during our last migration.
fisherman: Oh, what shame. Maybe I can help you find your kin. What land do they winter in?
bird: Hmmm . . . in our language it is called "Chirp, Chirp, Sqawk, Chirrupity Squeeeeee!" I really don't think it can be translated in polite company.

Nancy: The problem is, I can't decide which social media to choose: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr.
Phil: If I may recommend something - don't go with Tumblr. It's basically dead.
Vic: Agree with Phil. What are u going to post?
Nancy: What do u mean?
Vic: Text? Pictures? Music? Videos?
Nancy: Haven't really thought about that. I think photos with some comment mostly.
Phil: TBH, any of these will do. U can post photos and comments on Twitter.
Vic: IMHO, Instagram would suit u best. U'd need to work on ur graphics skills though.
Nancy: Y?
Vic: Well, ppl aren't that much interested in what they can read in the comment or description, but in what's on the photo.
Nancy: So the catchphrase would have to be on the photo?
Vic: Basically.
Phil: I can't imagine I'm saying this, but what about Facebook?
Nancy: What about it?
Phil: Well, u can do both! Post pictures and descriptions!
Nancy: Not a bad idea!
Vic: I have an idea!
Nancy: What is it?
Vic: Y not use all of them?
Nancy: What do u mean?
Vic: Well, u can use Facebook in general, Instagram 4 pics and Twitter for rash news!
Phil: That's actually ingenious!
Vic: Right? :)
Nancy: One problem - won't it take up too much of my time?
Phil: Nah! U can use the same post all over.
Nancy: How?
Phil: U post what u want to say on Facebook, the picture on Instagram and tell ur followers they'll find out more on Facebook and a short news on Twitter with the most important info and a link to ur Facebook post.
Vic: And that way u'll get more possible customers :)
Nancy: Thanks, guys! I think I'll do that! | Nancy is choosing social media to attract customers. Nancy will follow Vic and Phil's advice to use Facebook, Instagram and Twitter simultaneously. They think Tumblr isn't effective. |

#Person1#: What do you think of this brown coffee table?
#Person2#: It's nice, but it doesn't match the color of our room.
#Person1#: How about this?
#Person2#: Oh no, this type of coffee table gets dirty very easily and it's difficult to clean.
#Person1#: And you are really difficult to please. All right, let's look at some others.
#Person2#: Look, this one matches our room and it's inexpensive. Don't you think so?
#Person1#: Moreover, it's easy to clean, right? You are really lazy.
#Person2#: I only want to save you the trouble of looking after me.
#Person1#: Sounds ridiculous! | #Person1# and #Person2# decides between which coffee table to buy and choose an inexpensive one. They argue about if #Person1# is lazy. |
#Person1#: what kinds of tv programmes do you enjoy watching?
#Person2#: I like current affairs programmes and documentaries, especially wildlife ones. How about you?
#Person1#: I like those kinds of programmes too. They're very informative. I think that many people underrate the education value of tv.
#Person2#: I agree. People often criticize tv for showing too much sex and violence.
#Person1#: yeah. And that's so funny because most people prefer watching sex and violence to watching something more educational!
#Person2#: right. You can't blame the tv stations for showing popular kinds of programmes. They need to make money from advertisements shown during and between programmes.
#Person1#: in my country, there's a time limit on the advertisements that can be shown. I think it's about six minutes per hour.
#Person2#: that's great idea. But don't the tv station lose a lot of money because of that?
#Person1#: no. they don't. they simply charge higher prices at peak times. Is there no limit on the amount of advertisements that can be shown on tv in your country?
#Person2#: not as far as I know. We have so many advertisements. the interruptions are unbearable sometimes! That's one reason that many people prefer satellite or cable tv, where you pay a fixed amount each mo
#Person1#: some people have satellite and cable tv in my country, but people don't seem to keen to pay for their tv programmes. Besides, the terrestrial channels offer a good range of programmes.
#Person2#: well, there's a wildlife documentary on tv in a few minutes. Shall we? | #Person1# and #Person2# discuss the educational value of TV programmes. Then they talk about the time limit on the advertisements and satellite and cable TV in their own country. |
priest: It seems everything is in order. I apologize for expecting you of less, but my last altar boy disappointed me.
altar boy: I understand Father but you shouldnt compare me to the last boy.
priest: It's true. I do have a question. Have you ever ... felt a presence in this room? When you were alone?
altar boy: Yes and I have recorded every incident you should listen to these tapes.
priest: Interesting. It sounds like faint whispers. You recorded that in here?
altar boy: YEs father, The most recent was two days ago.
priest: I've always been suspicious of this room. One prior member of the cloth refused to enter it. I may need to bless it with holy water.
altar boy: I let the clergey man listen to them once he said I was making up the noises some how. I felt stupid for confiding in him. So I just keep the tapes and records of events locked in this cabinet
priest: You can trust me. I thank you for coming forward with this. We need to make this our top priority. We cannot let Satan influence our flock!
Summarize the dialogue | altar boy has recorded whispers in the room. He has kept the tapes and records locked in a cabinet. The priest is going to bless the room. |
deer: You master only loves you cause he likes to ride you. I've seen your kind helping the humans hunt down my kind! I just can't trust you, man. I can't! Here the flower looks silly on my head.
a horse.: hmmm... crunchy... not bad... Well... he can ride on you too.. what are you doing alone in the meadow?
deer: Ride on me? That will be the day!! I will not serve the human tyranny! Down with the humans!!!!
a horse.: Ok.. OK... I get it... But why you are here alone? Shouldn't you be with your herd?
deer: Ok I feel better now. I needed that. Oh, I like to be alone because no one loves me. JK! I am totes loved. Humans prefer to hunt down packs of us so I thought if I was by myself Iโd have better chances.
a horse.: Well, just be careful because it is hunting season and human are everywhere. Are you sure you don't want to come with me?
Summarize the dialogue | deer is alone in the meadow because he doesn't want to be hunted by humans. |
#Person1#: Hello, may I help you?
#Person2#: Yes. We're interested in seeing the rooms for rent.
#Person1#: Oh, how nice. They're bright rooms and the house is very quiet.
#Person2#: A nice quiet house is exactly what we're looking for.
#Person1#: Well, gentleman. Each room is $ 40 a week if you think that's OK.
#Person2#: That sounds just wonderful to us.
#Person1#: When do you want to move in?
#Person2#: How about this afternoon?
#Person1#: Fine. I'll be expecting you around two. | #Person1# recommends a house to #Person2# for renting. #Person2# wants to move in this afternoon. |
Industrial Designer: well So our design looks something like this This being the wheel that you use to change channels or volume or whatever This is a button serves as the power button if you hold it down and if you just tap on it I think it brings up the menu And the base of the remote control which has a squishy spongy rubbery feel is interchangeable So you can change the colour according to your to suit your living room or whatever And it comes
User Interface: You could change the vegetable or fruit
Industrial Designer: I can change the vegetable
Project Manager: Oh is that broccoli ?
Industrial Designer: So this snaps off and you can put on whichever one you want This is not to scale because it would have the battery inside it This is a mango The it is trendy fruit it is not just ordinary fruits You do not have orange you have mango I guess strawberrys not as trendy but
Project Manager: S a very bright strawberry
Industrial Designer: So we will come up with a variety of trendy and exciting fruit designs for the remote control And then people will be encouraged to buy three or five of them because they will need to switch them out
User Interface: It is been a l It is been a little bit difficult to make sure that it is handholdable and that the user can use it you know it is not too big but we think that this you know this size will be and we will have to fit the battery case in there somehow And I guess the only other thing that we really did not talk about was or design yet actually would be the thing the locator How how so
Industrial Designer: Well the locator is just chip that is inside there And the beepers also inside there too somewhere
User Interface: So you have to have a button on your on your you have to attach the button to the
Industrial Designer: we did not design that
User Interface: we have that that has yes yet to be designed
Industrial Designer: But it would be coordinating with that of course
User Interface: that c hey that that could you know match the handset You could have a broccoli or you could have a mango
Project Manager: Oh if you want to look in your project documents folder there is an Excel spreadsheet the only one that is in there production costs And if you open it up I have just stuck the numbers in it was a real challenge there But if I missed anything that we have gone over or if you see something that has changed I mean we decided on batteries and the regular chip would be necessary for the more advanced iPodlike button I said uncurved or flat I think that is what you have there is that right ? For the for the plastic part would be
Industrial Designer: My impression was that flat meant like like one of those square remotes But it is really not very clear because you got single curve and double curve and d I do not know what that means One side is curved and then the other side is curved
Project Manager: Well If we are talking about the area just oh I d I do not know I guess we would have to contact the company that makes them and see so what else ? There is plastic for that area around the button and then rubber would be the squishy like thing right ? and lots of special colours actually scroll wheel Do you see anything that I have missed ?
Industrial Designer: No I think that is alright
Project Manager: so that would make our total of eleven point nine which is even less than twelve point five which means we would be making even more of a profit And if we sold a lot of squishy things Boo S So Mm Did y what did you work on ? The
Marketing: I have got a presentation So I need where is the cable ? Right what happens is we have to decide whether this this whole this whole project we have been working on actually meets the standards we were set at the start Right This does not the method is we well I have analysed the user requirements and integrated them to the trends found in marketing reports and in our company strategy marketing And the findings were that we need it to look in a certain way feel in a certain way and this is everythings listed down look in a certain way feel in a certain way it has to be technologically innovative and it has to be easy to use These are all things we looked at at the start and criteria that have to be met We have to use a table I will show you that later together to decide whether it meets the standards And we we have therefore in total We have five we have eleven points according to which this should be evaluated And the cri well basically the findings are the same as the evaluation criteria I would like to show you the table we have to use No This is the table Can you see this here ? so the que the questions I have given you c could you write that down ? True is one and and false is seven And we will just go through each point together hopefully I think if each of us gives an opinion then they can be mixed somehow I do not know how it works exactly I have not been told
User Interface: Is it possible that we can bring this up on our own
Marketing: it is in the it is in the project documents
User Interface: Is it meeting three minutes ? No it is not minutes
Marketing: It is called evaluation criteria And it is under evaluation
Project Manager: Huh the PowerPoint one ?
Marketing: You have found it all ? So it was trues one
User Interface: Trues one and false is seven
Marketing: Do you want us to discuss this together or do you want us to do it singly ?
Project Manager: we can do it separately and then discuss it if if that is what people want to do
User Interface: So it is actually a scale
Project Manager: Wait one is true and so these are the questions we are answering And one is
Marketing: yes it is if it is fancy you put one if it is really unfancy it is seven
Project Manager: If it is somewhere in between you put four
User Interface: Does it feel fancy ?
Marketing: They should not really be questions Should be more like Are the batteries easy to insert ?
Industrial Designer: I am going to say yes
Marketing: Yes ? Very very true
Industrial Designer: I imagine they are somewhere on the front We have a little case that you slip them in
Project Manager: Are we just about ready ?
Marketing: Apparently I am supposed to use the whiteboard Do we is it necessary ?
Project Manager: I do not think so It is the the marker thing kind of stopped working last time we Our animals will forever be there Un unless you feel you need it t to
Marketing: I do not feel any right Right so one point one ? We will just go in a circle Right Ooh I do not know Two so do we just add it up and divide it by four ? Is that what the company does ?
Project Manager: I I think we should
Industrial Designer: It is four if you want to do that It adds to sixteen so that is four
Marketing: Oh no It adds to thirteen One five five two
Industrial Designer: Oh I thought she said five
Marketing: One five five two is thirteen over four for now I think that is next ?
Project Manager: I was not cheating I swear
Marketing: Uhoh Right One point three is
User Interface: So it is a one was true and seven was false ? so you guys really did not like it ?
Project Manager: Oh I thought it was the other way round
Industrial Designer: I thought it was the other way round too
Project Manager: So we do have about the same thing we just have it the other way
Industrial Designer: Sh I I was thinking one means no points you know all the way up to the top
Marketing: It was one is true and false is seven I should have kept the table up
Industrial Designer: I will just I will just reverse them all It is no problem
Marketing: Right well I am glad this came out
Industrial Designer: I thought you guys hated it
User Interface: I was like why did you guys design it that way if you hated it ?
Marketing: No Oh that is quite funny So starting again one point one ? Two one point two ? Two one point three ? Ha Two point one ?
Project Manager: Two point I think I missed two Wait is that two point one ?
Industrial Designer: I put it down as one point four for some reason
Project Manager: One point four one point five right that is I have two of them
Industrial Designer: Mine has all kinds of problems
Marketing: Sorry about that T two point two which is one point five
Industrial Designer: three Wait why did I put three ? I meant one on mine too
Marketing: Three point one Is that correct on my slide ?
Industrial Designer: Three point one I have four
Marketing: One four three three three point two ? Two and four point three Right so I put one on that I will I will just do the calculations now if you want to continue Or is it tedious ? I am I am sorry this was so tedious for everyone | There were two main parts in the detailed design. Firstly, the prototype presentation, Industrial Designer presented the design on the wheel, the button, and the base of the remote control. Secondly, Marketing presented eleven points to be evaluated based on the findings in marketing trend reports and company strategy marketing. Besides, the group had a point calculation on each evaluation criterion. |
priests: And what do you do with the fish that you don't sell?
fishermen: I put some on the alter to thank the Gods for my catch. I give the rest to the widows in town.
priests: Ah, a great charity. At least in your line of work you won't go hungry. Thank you for your offering.
fishermen: Well the lord has blessed me. It does look like it will storm today.
priests: Yes, I think so. Tell me, have you come here for an exorcism?
fishermen: An exorcism? Because I don't like storms. No, I lost my father in a storm. He was also a fisherman.
priests: Is it that which brings you to my altar today?
fishermen: I only wish for prayers for safety in the storms.
priests: Well let us eat some of your catch and then we will pray together for your safety today.
fishermen: Here is the knife and some more fish. Prayer will help soothe my souls if not the water.
priests: Thank you my friend!

Professor C: OK what are we talking about today ?
PhD B: I do not know Do you have news from the conference talk ? that was programmed for yesterday I guess
PhD D: Yesterday morning on video conference
Professor C: I know now I know what you are talking about No nobody s told me anything
PhD A: Oh this was the talk where they were supposed to try to decide
PhD B: To to decide what to do
Professor C: No that would have been a good thing to find out before this meeting that s No I have no I have no idea so I mean let s let s assume for right now that we are just kind of plugging on ahead because even if they tell us that the rules are different we are still interested in doing what we are doing So what are you doing ?
PhD B: Mm well we ve a little bit worked on trying to see what were the bugs and the problem with the latencies So We took first we took the LDA filters and we designed new filters using recursive filters actually
Professor C: So when you say `` we `` is that something Sunil is doing or is that ? Who is doing that ?
PhD B: So we took the filters the FIR filters and we comment designed IIR filters that have the same frequency response Well similar but that have shorter delays So they had two filters one for the low frequency bands and another for the high frequency bands And so we redesigned two filters And the low frequency band has sixty four milliseconds of delay and the high frequency band filter has something like eleven milliseconds compared to the two hundred milliseconds of the IIR filters But it s not yet test So we have the filters but we still have to implement a routine that does recursive filtering
Professor C: You you had a discussion with Sunil about this though ? huh you should talk with him No I mean because the the the the whole problem that happened before was coordination right ? So so you need to discuss with him what we are doing cuz they could be doing the same thing and or something
PhD B: Mm I I do not know if th that s what they were trying to They were trying to do something different like taking well using filter that takes only a past and this is just a little bit different But I will I will send him an email and tell him exactly what we are doing so
Professor C: I mean We just we just have to be in contact more I think that the the fact that we we did that with had that thing with the latencies was indicative of the fact that there was not enough communication
PhD B: Well there is w one remark about these filters that they do not have a linear phase So Well I do not know perhaps it perhaps it does not hurt because the phase is almost linear but and so for the delay I gave you here it s it s computed on the five hertz modulation frequency which is the mmm well the most important for speech so this is the first thing
Professor C: So that would be a reduction of a hundred and thirty six milliseconds which What was the total we ended up with through the whole system ? So that would be within ?
PhD B: but there are other points actually which will perhaps add some more delay Is that some other other stuff in the process were perhaps not very perf well not very correct like the downsampling which w was simply dropping frames so we will try also to add a nice downsampling having a filter that that well a low pass filter at at twenty five hertz because wh when when we look at the LDA filters well they are basically low pass but they leave a lot of what s above twenty five hertz and so this will be another filter which would add ten milliseconds again and then there s a third thing is that basically the way on line normalization was done is just using this recursion on on the on the feature stream and but this is a filter so it has also a delay and when we look at this filter actually it has a delay of eighty five milliseconds So if we If we want to be very correct so if we want to the estimation of the mean t t to to be well the right estimation of the mean we have to t to take eighty five milliseconds in the future Mmm
Professor C: ! That s a little bit of a problem
PhD B: But well when we add up everything it s it will be alright We would be at six so sixty five plus ten plus for the downsampling plus eighty five for the on line normalization So it s plus plus eighty for the neural net and PCA
Professor C: but then there s Oh
PhD B: So it would be around two hundred and forty so well
Professor C: Just just barely in there
PhD B: plus plus the frames but it s OK
PhD A: What s the allowable ?
Professor C: Two fifty unless they changed the rules Which there is there s some discussion of
PhD A: What were they thinking of changing it to ?
Professor C: well the people who had very low latency want it to be low very very very narrow latency bound And the people who have longer latency do not So Unfortunately we are the main ones with long latency but
PhD B: and basically the best proposal had something like thirty or forty milliseconds of latency
Professor C: so they were basically I mean they were more or less trading computation for performance and we were trading latency for performance And they were dealing with noise explicitly and we were not and so I think of it as complementary that if we can put the
PhD A: Think of it as what ?
Professor C: I think the best systems so everything that we did in in a way it was it was just adamantly insisting on going in with a brain damaged system which is something actually we ve done a lot over the last thirteen years which is we say well this is the way we should do it And then we do it And then someone else does something that s straight forward So w th w this was a test that largely had additive noise and we did we adde did absolutely nothing explicitly to handle ad additive noise We just you know trained up systems to be more discriminant And we did this RASTA like filtering which was done in the log domain and was tending to handle convolutional noise We did we actually did nothing about additive noise So the spectral sub subtraction schemes a couple places did seem to seem to do a nice job And so we are talking about putting putting some of that in while still keeping some of our stuff I think you should be able to end up with a system that s better than both but clearly the way that we are operating for this other stuff does involved some latency to to get rid of most of that latency To get down to forty or fifty milliseconds we would have to throw out most of what we are doing And and I do not think there s any good reason for it in the application actually I mean you are you are you are speaking to a recognizer on a remote server and having a a a quarter second for some processing to clean it up It does not seem like it s that big a deal These are not large vocabulary things so the decoder should not take a really long time and
PhD A: And I do not think anybody s going to notice the difference between a quarter of a second of latency and thirty milliseconds of latency
Professor C: So No What what does wa was your experience when you were doing this stuff with the the the surgical microscopes and so forth how long was it from when somebody finished an utterance to when something started happening ?
PhD A: we had a silence detector so we would look for the end of an utterance based on the silence detector And I I can not remember now off the top of my head how many frames of silence we had to detect before we would declare it to be the end of an utterance but it was I would say it was probably around the order of two hundred and fifty milliseconds
Professor C: and that s when you would start doing things
PhD A: we did the back trace at that point to get the answer
Professor C: Of course that did not take too long at that point
PhD A: No no it was pretty quick
Professor C: so you you so you had a so you had a a quarter second delay before plus some little processing time and then the the microscope would start moving or something And there s physical inertia there so probably the the motion itself was all
PhD A: And it felt to the users that it was instantaneous I mean as fast as talking to a person It th I do not think anybody ever complained about the delay
Professor C: so you would think as long as it s under half a second or something I m not an expert on that
PhD A: I do not remember the exact numbers but it was something like that I do not think you can really tell A person I do not think a person can tell the difference between you know a quarter of a second and a hundred milliseconds and I m not even sure if we can tell the difference between a quarter of a second and half a second I mean it just it feels so quick
Professor C: I mean basically if you if you said `` what s the what s the shortest route to the opera ? `` and it took half a second to get back to you I mean it would be f I mean it might even be too abrupt You might have to put in a s a s a delay
PhD A: I mean it may feel different than talking to a person because when we talk to each other we tend to step on each other s utterances So like if I m asking you a question you may start answering before I m even done So it it would probably feel different but I do not think it would feel slow
Professor C: Right Well anyway I mean I think we could cut we know what else we could cut down on the neural net time by by playing around a little bit going more into the past or something like that We t we talked about that
PhD A: So is the latency from the neural net caused by how far ahead you are looking ?
Professor C: And there s also well there s the neural net and there s also this multi frame KLT
PhD A: Was not there Was it in the recurrent neural nets where they were not looking ahead at all ?
Professor C: They were not looking ahead much They p they looked ahead a little bit I mean you could do this with a recurrent net And and then But you also could just I mean we have not experimented with this but I imagine you could predict a a label from more in the past than in than than in the future I mean we ve d we ve done some stuff with that before I think it it works OK
PhD A: We ve always had usually we used the symmetric windows but I do not think
Professor C: but we ve but we played a little bit with with asymmetric guys You can do it So So that s what that s what you are busy with s messing around with this | The team was looking at existing models and thinking about the various bugs that they had to deal with. The frequency differences in the FIR filters was one. Another thing they wanted to look into was handling additive noise, which they had not dealt with explicitly. |

Carol: Best greetings to you from Mexico!
Carol: <file_photo>
Mary: Oh my gosh! So you are travelling again. What is it like there? How long are you staying there?
Carol: Yes, Will insisted on a couple of months in the tropics before his hip operation, so we decided to go full bore and try again something rougher. So far everything's been going smoothly.
Mary: Isn't Mexico a bit dangerous? Have they got good medical care, just in case?
Carol: We are in Yucatan only, which is pretty touristy and they put great store on safety as tourism's their major source of income. As for their medical services I do hope we won't have to try them out. Besides we both have our foreign travel insurances with a guarantee of immediate transport to Europe, if need be. Fingers crossed!
Mary: Good! And you are extra careful too, I hope.
Carol: But of course! We've rented a car to be independent of their erratic public transport and they seem to have a good network of fairly good roads. Mostly empty, sometimes even overgrown by vegetation on the sides.We never travel after dark of course.
Carol: <file_photo>
Mary: Good Lord! It looks like a narrow tunnel through a dense jungle! Any big animals?
Carol: They seem never to clear the sides of the roads, so the verges are kept clear of vegetation only on busy roads with much traffic. But most of their roads are like this, no one in sight for miles.
Carol: <file_photo>
Mary: Would suit my driving!
Carol: It soon becomes deadly boring. We tried to keep ourselves entertained by keeping the radio on and picking up as much Spanish as possible but it turned even a greater bore! 8D Anyway we're not overdoing it with driving. So much to see around!
Mary: Mayan monuments?
Carol: Caught you here! Had made the same mistake myself. We've been instructed to say "Maya monuments" as the adjective Mayan refers mostly to people and their languages.
Mary: Ooops! Once a teacher, always a teacher.
Carol: :โP No pro! Anyway we've been visiting all sorts of Maya monuments, mostly temples, but I still know precious little about them. Our guidebooks are worthless, only this touristy crap.
Mary: Oh don't be so critical about them. They are destined for different readership. You'll catch up when back home.
Carol: I hope I will! But with Will's operation looming over us, I might find it difficult. The thought about it seems to be bogging us down even here, but we avoid talking about it.
Mary: Oh Carol! Stop worrying! It is a standard operational procedure, one of the most common surgeries. William is fit and has no known ailments that usually beset men of his age. It's going to proceed without any complications. Take my word for it!
Carol: Thank you, Mary. I surely trust your opinion, after all you are a doctor. But you know what it's like.
Mary: Of course I do and I do understand you are upset. But please don't. Just enjoy your holidays!
Carol: You are right. We'll make the most of them.
Mary: And take care too!
Carol: XX | Carol and Will are now in Mexico, precisely in Yucatan. It's a pretty safe part of Mexico. Will is going to have his hip operation soon. It's a standard procedure, so it should go without complications. |

User Interface: What turnaround time do we have ? Because I mean production evaluation can be very very quick or very very long
Project Manager: Oh but Yes it is it is very quick of course It will come back in two weeks it will be ready in two weeks Yes the prototype prototype product evaluation
Industrial Designer: In We probably should do some market tests once we have the prototypes and do some orders and things like that and testmarket it
Marketing: Mm that would have to be thrown out on the market for people to get an idea
Project Manager: So you can take a minimum two weeks to a maximum four weeks
Marketing: to see get get their
User Interface: Mmhmm Think minimum two weeks if we are going to develop prototypes and then try to take them to different places and see how people use it is not a trivial task
Project Manager: because we we are not going to do it in our factory so we can give it a product evalua
User Interface: No no We definitely should not do it in our factory
Project Manager: So we will do it in the other place and I do not think it is take more than four weeks time Or so then the real production we will start once we product evaluation then it is approve from the technical team and your team from the management then we can launch in the market Hm ? S Any any other questions or comments to be discuss ?
Marketing: I think we pretty much covered everything
Industrial Designer: Did you have something ?
User Interface: Well I was just wondering about if we are going to do a product evaluation then what about time for redesign if the users come back and tell us no this is bad this is bad we want this done differently
Project Manager: let us take like this Let us proceed with this model for the for the marketing direction So no more changes will be made in this the basic design ? So we will introduce m this model and let us introduce in the market and let us take the feedback from the customers then we can go for the There is no end there is not limit
User Interface: The problem is there might not be a second generation if the first generation flops for some silly reason that we have not thought of
Marketing: Well then it may not be
Project Manager: Well every customer they have their own ideas they have their own test so there is no end there is no limit
Marketing: Like people do not like wood
User Interface: No but there is a difference between releasing a product that has been minimally tested and finetuned to suit a general range of requirements versus releasing a product that we think will work but we do not really have anything to back it up
Project Manager: so that is the reason you are here for the design I hope you made a good design
User Interface: Yes but I am not everybody I mean the whole point of user evaluation is to see what real people need We have our own motivations in mind we have our own ideas in mind but that does not mean that that is what is going to sell
Project Manager: but see we ought to take a few considerations one is the price consideration one is future consideration like you can eat you can all eat more chi I can eat more chilli so i it is a depends on the individual taste you know so we have we have to balance somewhere
User Interface: of course I am just trying to point out that I think that your evaluation and redesign turnaround time is too short well you have no redesign not you personally but in the project we have no redesign time and
Industrial Designer: Ed d do you know what season of the year or time of the year is the most important for TV remote control sales ? Would it be the Christmas season by any chance ? Sports season Which sport season ?
Marketing: Right before the Eur the World Cup World soccer World Cup soccer they need those things that they have their hands g occupied and they need to be able to talk to the con remote control
Industrial Designer: So I think what we need to do is perhaps to synchronise the final the the launch of a usertested device with some special event
User Interface: that is a good idea
Industrial Designer: so that gives us a little more time perhaps then we anticipated because I do not know when the World Cup is but I am sure there is going to be one Or another m major sports event Probably not the the football games coming up the end of January I think that might be a little too aggressive but so I am just ig pointing out a a strategy to do some additional user testing pri and then to launch at a a major sports event
User Interface: That is actually good place to advertise it too
Industrial Designer: And to work with motion pictures There might be some motion pictures that are coming out that are coming out on DVD that they need to have a m special remote control to work with it so we could maybe work out a campaign with with Sony Pictures for example Maybe some management has got relationships there we can leverage
Project Manager: Yes the that of course I will convince the management to do that | Industrial Designer proposed to conduct a product evaluation by putting the prototype on the market to get feedback from the users. User Interface pointed out that there should be time for redesign while Project Manager insisted that no more change would be made on the original design and improvements made according to evaluation results would be on the second generation. What's more, Industrial Designer came up with a strategy to do additional user research by choosing the sports season and working with motion pictures. |

Joel: I should probably start reading game manuals :D
Joel: I tried some games recently and I was so confused that you wouldn't believe
Jay: you tried to play them like other games you already know?
Joel: Brutal Legend was the only one that I could play right of the box
Joel: that's a hilarious one, really :D

Jay: same, I drove of cliffs so many times that I stopped counting :P

Joel: there might be zombies coming through the door at any time! :P
Jay: I have a saber lying close to my desk so I'm not afraid of them ;)

#Person1#: Hello, Arthur. What seems to be the problem?
#Person2#: Hey doc. Well, I think I might need glasses. I ' m getting headaches, and I really struggle to see things that are far away. But I have always had 20/20 vision.
#Person1#: Sounds like you may be far-sighted. OK, then, cover your left eye and read the chart in front of you.
#Person2#: Mmm... X, E, R, 3, a question mark, and I can ' t quite make out the other symbol but I think it ' s the peace sign.
#Person1#: Wow, Arthur! You ' re as blind as a bat!

Bill: Ok, but 30 minutes, is probably shorter than what you plan to fly. Practice the mission, fly what you practice!
Kerry: 20 minute duration is what I am aiming for.
Bill: Ah. Like my evening "quick fix " flights. From 15-30 minutes. Depends on conditions of course. My plan is for max 1 hour flights.
Kerry: Exactly, purely a pleasure craft. With the current state of batteries it will be hard to have much more duration and still meet the "5 gallons of fuel" ultralight limit.
Kerry: Even without that limit, adding more range makes the problem exponentially harder. 1 hour can be done but it won't be easy.
Bill: That's where using a "motor floater" design is superior. Get up there, turn it off and seek thermals. Just use it to go thermal to thermal. Or get back to the runway.
Kerry: Ah yes, completely agree.
Kerry: A self launch motorglider is a real good option. It also helps get around the 30 minute min fuel reserve requirement. | Kerry wants to fly 20 minutes on motorglider. Bill aims for 1 hour flights maximum. |
