Project Manager: One thing that we are going to do is become more acquainted with the the tools that we have access to for our project one of them is our whiteboard And as a sort of teambuilding moment I I would like us to try out the whiteboard by expressing our favourite animal and the charac characteristics of that animal why that why that should be your favourite animal So I I am assuming that we should do that now With our microphones still attached to our bodies Kay what is my favourite animal ? This is a teambuilding time Industrial Designer: are we all doing it individually ? let us stand up and support you Project Manager: My favourite animal which changes all the time right now it is an elk And it goes like it is got like big antlers Looks kind of like like it has holly growing out of its head Industrial Designer: Do you have elk where you come from ? Project Manager: we have moose and we have deer Industrial Designer: That is a great elk Marketing: Uhoh we have a good artist Project Manager: That is a sketching of my my elk and it it is my favourite animal right now because it is a large beautiful majestic creature In a way it looks kind of awkward because it is on spindly legs and it But it can really overcome harsh terrain and although it is gorgeous it is also very dangerous because it has strong antlers and it can really combat its enemies even like it it is a it is an herbivore but it can really defend itself Right I am going to take minutes while you guys express your favourite animals Industrial Designer: I will go next I am a big animal lover like all sorts of animals but for the moment I am going to draw a cat in memory of my poor cat that died recently It is going to be a bit of a strange drawing but never mind Not as artistic as Heathers drawing But I like cats because they are so independent and they always seem to be doing what they want to be doing but that does not mean they are completely not sociable because they enjoy interacting with humans as well and they seem to enjoy the good things like sunshine and running around outside as well as being inside and enjoying their food and generally just they just seemed so cool and they just know what they are doing I reckon they are sort of they got it sorted They know what they want Basically that is why I like cats I will rub that out There you go User Interface: I think my favourite animal would be a dog but I am not really sure how to draw one I I have never drawn a dog I do not think I am tempted to draw a snail because I draw them sometimes and they are really easy to draw right it is going to be a really funny dog because I am not sure how to draw a dog Industrial Designer: Well there are loads of different types of dogs so I am sure it will represent one kind of dog User Interface: It is a cartoon dog I think A s I do not ev Oh oh well It is a scary cartoon dog That This that does not look like a dog Project Manager: It looks kind of like a person User Interface: How do you draw a dog ? I suppose it has a lon Oh my god Right Yous know what it is supposed to be It is a dog I like dogs because they are so good to humans like they can be trained to be police dogs and seeingeye dogs and they are just such friendly animals And like they are more of a companion than cats I have nothing against cats Cats do not really like me so I can not like them But they are just so friendly and warm and nice animals that do not look like that Marketing: Alrighty I feel like a robot well I guess I had the most time to think about it I am going to draw a butterfly because I saw a butterfly yesterday that seemed to be like the symbol of Spring arriving And it was actually the prettiest butterfly I have ever seen out in the wild and I though that was pretty cool in Scotland It was like well it was a little pointier than that At first I thought it was a dead leaf And then it landed on the wall next to me But this part was all brown and then it has these big blue dots like this And then it kind of there was a green I think it was a green ring and there was like red going out like this Project Manager: It is kind of like a peacock Marketing: it kind of was actually because it was This part of the body was really dull and then it was the most colourful exotic butterfly ever and I am like wow this is the middle of Scotland in like March So I thought that was pretty cool And it landed by a wall and let me look at it for about two minutes I wish I would had my camera So that is going to be my favourite animal because after all the snow it seemed to say that like Spring is finally here Project Manager: Do you hear the eraser buzzing while you do that ? So now that we know how to use the whiteboard
The team took turns to draw their favourite animals on the whiteboard while discussing what characteristics of that animal they liked. Project Manager's favourite animal at the time was an elk, since she considered it a large beautiful majestic creature that can overcome harsh terrain and defend itself. Industrial Designer followed with a cat, favoured for its independence and always knowing what they were doing. User Interface drew a dog, for dogs were trainable and friendly. Finally, Marketing chose a butterfly, seeing it as the symbol of spring arriving.

Project Manager: All hooked up so now we are here at the functional design meeting hopefully this meeting I will be doing a little bit less talking than I did last time because this is when you get to show us what you have been doing individually The agenda for the meeting I put it in the sh shared documents folder I do not know if that meant that you could see it or not No Oh well I will try and do that for the next meeting as well so if you check in there there is a shared project documents folder and it should be in there User Interface: Mm wi on on a what ? Oh project project documents Project Manager: Project documents So I will put it in there Is it best if I send you an email maybe to let you know it is there ? Yep I will do that next time I will act as secretary for this meeting and just take minutes as we go through and then I will send them to you after the meeting The main the main focus of this meeting is your presentations that you have been preparing during the time so we will go through each of you one by one then we need to briefly discuss the new project requirements that were sent to us I just sent at the last minute I am sorry about that but we can see how that affects what you were you were doing and then we need to by the end of the meeting come to some kind of decision on who our target groups going to be and what the functions of the remote control that is the the main goal is to come up with those two things target group and functions of the remote control And we have got forty minutes to do that in So I would say Industrial Designer: You said targ target groups what does that mean ? Project Manager: As who it is that we are going to be trying to sell this thing to So we need to we need to have a fairly defined group that that we want to focus on and then look at the functions of the dem remote control itself So with that I think it is best if I hand over to you Does anyone have a preference for going first ? Industrial Designer: Alright I can go first Project Manager: You want to go first ? so we need to unplug my laptop and plug in yours I assume we just pull it out ? Industrial Designer: Right so f from the Project Manager: Just before you start to make it easier would you three mind emailing me your presentations ? Once we you do not have to do it now but when once you go back just so that I do not have to scribble everything down Industrial Designer: So n with with regard to the working design of this remote control I have identified a few basic components of the remote and se from the design functional design perspective w I c we can now know wha what exactly the components are and how how they work together with each other So this is the method that I will mostly be following in my in my role the identification of the components and since since I am dealing only with the technical aspects I would need feedback from the marketing person and from the user interface person we will then integrate this into the product design at a technical level and basically update and come up with a new design so it is a cyclical process so these were the basic findings from today The last three bullets have been integrated from the last minute email I just quickly jotted them down so basically the as I told you the identification of how the remote control works and what are the various parts to it and what are the different processes and how the parts communicate with each other so e the mee email said that teletext is now outdated so we need to do away with that functionality of the remote control also the remote control should be used only for television because incorporating other features makes it more comp complex And the reason why teletext is outdated because of internet and the availability of internet over television How however our our remote control would only be dealing with the the use for television in order to keep things simple also the management wants that our design should be unique it so it should incorporate colour and the slogan that our company has it as its standard so he he here is a functional overview of the remote control there is basically an energy source at the heart which feeds into the chip and the user interface The user interf interface communicates with the chip so I will basic go over to the So if if this is our energy source and this is a cell it communicates it feeds energy into the into the chip which basically finds out h how how to do everything There is a user interface here So whe when the user presses a button it feeds into the chip and the chip then generates a response and takes the response to an infrared terminal which then so the output of the chip is an infrared bit code which is then communicated to the remote site which h has an infrared receiver the there can be a bulb here or something to indicate whether the remote is on or communicating so these are the essent so a all the functionality of the remote control whatever new functions that we need to do make the chip more complicated and bigger basically so i in my personal preferences I am hoping that we can ke keep the design as simple and clear as possible This would help us to upgrade our technology at a future point of time And also if we can incorporate the latest features in our chip design so that our remote control does not become outdated soon and it is compatible with mot most televisions That is about it So anything that you would like to know or Project Manager: Do you have any i idea about costs at this point ? Industrial Designer: No I do not have any idea about what each component costs Project Manager: Because that is something to consider I guess if we are if we are using more advanced technology it might increase the price Industrial Designer: Certainly So so tha we definitely need to operate within our constraints but unfortunately I I do not have any data so I just identified the functional components for that Project Manager: That is fine Are there any more questions or shall we just skip straight to the next one and then we can discuss all of them together at the end ? User Interface: I think we need like some general discussion at the end probably Project Manager: I think that will do so do you want to User Interface: I think since since we were discussing some design issues then I I I would like to continue Project Manager: Yes shall shall we pull this up ? I think that has to come out of there I thought those last minute things they are going to hit you the worst User Interface: Oh i I hope wait Should it just Industrial Designer: I it will take some time Project Manager: It ta takes a little Oh and have you you need to then also press on yours function F eight so the blue function key at the bottom and F eight Industrial Designer: It will come up it no signal User Interface: No signal ? Why ? Oh My my computer went blank now Adjusting But I do not see anything Project Manager: There we go there we go User Interface: I do not see anything on my computer now Project Manager: Oh if you press if you press function and that again User Interface: This is the problem but Project Manager: there is there is usually three modes one where it is only here one where it is only there and one where it is both User Interface: now it is No ? No Project Manager: Should just wait for a moment adjusting User Interface: that is fine that is good let us start from the beginning So I am going to speak about technical functions design just like some some first issues that came up kay so the method I was adopting at this point it is not for the for the whole period of the all the project but it is just at th at this very moment my method was to look at other remote controls so mostly just by searching on the web and to see what functionality they used And then after having got this inspiration and having compared what I found on the web just to think about what the de what the user really needs and what what the user might desire as additional functionalities And and then just to put the main function of the remote control in in words so the findings were that the main function of the remote control is is just sending messages to the television set so this quite straightforward And w some of the main functions would be switching on switching off then the user would like to switch the channel for example just m changing to the next channel to to flip through all all of the possible channels or then mm the other possibility would be that she might just want to choose one particular channel so we would need the numbers And and also the volume is very important I als Industrial Designer: Sorry cou could you go back for a second ? switching on off channel volume that is great User Interface: Kay among the findings I found that m m most of the curr mm presently available remote controls also include other mm functionalities in their design like operating a VCR but they do not seem to be able to deal with DVD players but then there are surely there are many other functionali functions that could possibly be added to them but according to the last minute update actually we do not want to have all this complicated functions added to our design So my personal preferences would be to keep the mm the whole remote control small just like the physical size And then it must be easy to use so it must follow some conventions like whereabouts you find the on off button and maybe the colour tends to be red or something then the musthave buttons would be on off and then the channel numbers and then the one that allows us to go to the next or the previous channel and then volume has to be there But then other functionalities could be just there could be a menu button and you could change things on the screen then for example brightness and mm similar functions could be just done through the menu And the last question I had about whether we wanted to incorporate n more functionalities the answer was already no because of the last minute update So at the for the time being that is that is all Project Manager: If I mean that was the the directive that came through from management but if we had a a decent case for that we really think it is important to include video and DVD I could get back to them and see It is w it is just whether it is worth arguing about User Interface: and also it is it is other question is because there are so many different And there are so many different things that could possibly be included because besides video and DVD there are the mm video CDs and whatever so it might be problematic to to choose between all these possible things Project Manager: Are there any questions for clarification of Maarika before we go on to the next one ? Industrial Designer: So in the you user interface requirements we we have been able to identify what are the basic buttons that we do want but so so at this stage how we go about implementing those button we will not identify or I mean in we can completely do away with buttons and have some kind of a fancy user interface or something like that But is is there any any thoughts on that ? User Interface: well I think the buttons are still mm kind of the most easy for the user to use I mean what other options would you have ? A little screen or something but this would be really kind of I think a lot of learning for the user Industrial Designer: and it will make the costs User Interface: and and I mean the user just wants to get get a result quickly not to spend time in like giving several orders I do not know I think I th I would I would think the put the buttons but if if you have other mm proposals Industrial Designer: I think the co costs will also play a big role when we come to know about them So well we can probably wait until t we have more knowledge on that i if the if the costs allow we can have like an LCD display and with because we do want something fancy and fashionable as well So ? Cool Project Manager: Sure we can discuss that maybe after the next one Marketing: Cool Do you want to give me the little cable thing ? User Interface: am I going in the right direction ? Project Manager: Oh I am getting hungry User Interface: here it comes here you are Marketing: Cool Ah that is why it will not meet cool Project Manager: we need to do the function key thing so that it comes up on here Is it plugged in prop Marketing: So what I have wh where I have got my information from is a survey where the usability lab observed remote control use with a hundred subjects and then they gave them a questionnaire so it was all about you know how people feel about the look and feel of the remote control you know What is the most annoying things about remote controls and the possibility of speech recognition and LCD screens in remote control Not that they actually gave me any answers on the LCD screens so I should have taken that bit out but anyway so What they found is that people do not like how current remote controls are so you know definitely you should be looking at something quite different seventy five percent of users find most remote controls ugly the other twenty five percent have no fashion sense eighty percent of users would spend more to get you know a nice looking remote control current remote controls they do not match the user behaviour well as you will see on the next slide I do not know what zapping is but Project Manager: It is switching between channels sort of randomly going through Marketing: Oh right But you have that little thing that comes up at the bottom and tells you what is on fifty percent of users say they only use ten percent of the buttons so that is going back to what you know we were saying earlier about you know do you need all the buttons on the remote control they just make it look ugly ? Cool so this is my little graph thing Project Manager: Ooh that is a bit difficult to see If you explain it to us it will be fine Marketing: well I can send it to all of you What it is is it is cones because I thought they would be more exciting but Project Manager: I liked the I liked the litt Marketing: ooh where is it go ? Oh yes cool I am going to stop playing with the little pointy thing so like what it shows is how much things are used relatively and what you can clearly see from that is the thing that is used most is the channel selection What you can not see is volume selection it is a little bit higher than all the others Project Manager: Mmhmm that is the next one along ? Marketing: so what the graph shows is that you know power channel selection and volume selection are important and the rest of them you know nobody really uses and so that is the the numbers along the top represent their like their importance you know so on a scale of one to ten how important is that and you know channel selection and volume selection are absolutely essential and the power well it is not quite so essential apparently although I do not understand how it could not be and everything else I think you know you can forget about having those buttons on the remote control because they are just not needed and they are not used This is the bit that the email messed up for me and that is what I was fiddling about with at the beginning of the thing cool So so this is what people find annoying about remote controls that they get lost that the you know they are not intuitive and that they are bad for repetitive strain injury I think if you are watching enough TV to get repetitive strain injury from you know watching TV then that is the least of your problems but you know it is up there that so I mean the the RSI thing would be that like when you have the computer keyboards and you keep your wrists up would be something that encourages you want something with an ergonomic t design that encourages good use of the remote control and you know not straining your wrists watching TV Yes cool Right sorry this is pink because I was copying and pasting the table and I did not have time to white it out again but that shows how people whether they would pay more for voice recognition software So you can see from that that you know younger people to the age of thirty five are quite likely to pay quite a lot more f well quite are quite likely to pay more for voice recognition software whereas as people get older they are a bit more sceptical about it and they are less willing to to try it so clearly voice recognition is something to think about but you know I d I do wonder how well that would work given that a TV you know tends to be people talking and you know how are you going to stop it from just flipping channels whilst watching TV ? Cool so these are my personal preferences So you have sleek stylish sophisticated you know so something that is you know a bit cool you know functional so it is useful but minimalist there is a there is an important thing that you know people use when you know when you are filling up your home you know a lot of people fill up their home with bits of crap basically you know and you have got all this stuff and you are just like what the hell is that who is ever going to use it ? You know so things should either be functional or beautiful or preferably both so I think we need to aim for both then a long battery life like you were talking about earlier and you know I was thinking that solar power would be quite cool because you know your remote control just sits there and you could just sit it in the sunshine and save the environment a bit and then like a locator so you know kind of like you have for a mobile phone or Industrial Designer: Some kind of a ring Project Manager: Keys and things like that Marketing: that is it you know Project Manager: Whistle and it screams at you Marketing: I know it is weird My flatmate and I were talking about this on the way into uni this morning and I was like I need to get one for everything So so maybe something where you clap and then it beeps something a kind of sound that you do not often hear on the TV you know because you do not want your remote control beeping every five minutes because you you would then deliberately lose it by throwing it out the window or something So ? Cool That is me Project Manager: I am just going to tick yes So we have got about ten fifteen minutes to discuss

Dr David Blaney: We do what we can to pay due regard to the remit letters as the wording goes So we have it in our sights but we are not yet ready to make announcements Sian Gwenllian AM: And then turning to the impact of the loss of funds were we to leave the European Union Of course this is going to have a farreaching impact on future research and the Reid review has made recommendations to mitigate this impact So what assessment have you made of how allocations will be able to help universities to transition away from EU funding ?
Dr David Blaney suggested that the main challenge was finding the money. Although there was an additional £6.6 million allocated for research very recently by the Government, that was not sustainable and certainly not enough. Also, the Welsh government had recently issued their own vision for research and innovation and more investment in the Welsh research base would make the Welsh universities be more competitive in accessing funding at a UK level.

#Person1#: Hi, Bob, guess what? I'm going to visit Quebec next summer. I'm invited to go to a friend's wedding, but while I'm there, I'd also like to do some sightseeing. #Person2#: That's nice, Sherry. But do you mean the province of Quebec or Quebec City? #Person1#: I mean the province. My friend's wedding is in Montreal, so I'm going there first. I'll stay for 5 days. Is Montreal the capital city of the province? #Person2#: Well, many people think so because it's the biggest city, but it's not the capital. Quebec City is, but Montreal is great. The Santa Lawrence River runs right through the middle of the city. It's beautiful in summer. #Person1#: Wow, and do you think I can get by in English? My French is okay, but not that good. I know most people there speak French, but can I also use English? #Person2#: Well, people speak both French and English there, but you'll hear French most of the time and all the street signs are in French. In fact, Montreal is the third largest French-speaking city in the world. So you'd better practice your French before you go. #Person1#: Good advice, what about Quebec City? I'll visit a friend from college who lives there now. What's it like? #Person2#: It's a beautiful city, very old. Many old buildings have been nicely restored. Some of them were built in the 17th and 18th centuries. You'll love it there. #Person1#: Fantastic. I can't wait to go.
Sherry will attend a wedding in Montreal and wants to go sightseeing in nearby cities. Bob gives her some basic knowledge about the cities and Sherry cannot wait to go.

Roger: When you're laying tile how many rows can/should you do in a day? Jim: Floor? Roger: walls Dan: which mortar are you using? Roger: pre-mixed. seems like it dries very slowly Jim: Why would it matter how long it takes to dry? Only takes a day to be able to grout with the pre mix. You can do as many rows as you like also. Roger: Right o. I just didn't know if they would shift around with more rows stacked on them? Dan: <file_photo> you just make a level ledger (2nd row). Mark a center line on all walls then see where the last tile is going to be on sides and ceilings. You do the bottom row closest to the shower pan last after the ledger row dries. Jim: Exactly, don't do the bottom row 1st, for some reason makes getting everything to line up pretty difficult. And push everything flat on the tile with a level so it looks good. Roger: Okay, good to know. I was just going to start at the bottom and work my way up Dan: Might not work. Shower pans are usually not level so everything will end up off. Jim: Do you have a digital level? I can give you mine if you need Roger: I have a digital one. Jim: Ok cool. Dan: Good luck. Let us know if you need anything.
Roger can do as many rows of tile in a day as he wants. He should make a level ledger, mark a center line and do the bottom row when the ledger row dries.
