Chinese netizens are known for coming up with quirky and creative terms for people and things making the news... and they spread like wildfire.

From "skinny blue mushrooms" to "melon-eating masses", the BBC's Tessa Wong takes a look at what has captured their imaginations this year.
Last year, US President-elect Donald Trump was known as "bed-breaker" - a Chinese homonym for his name.
This year, he's "chuanpu", one of two spellings of his name commonly used by mainstream media outlets.
Some have joked about his connection to Sichuan, whose name shares the same Chinese character. But the weirdest riff of all happened when some speculated that he was actually from the southwest province best known for its pandas and spicy food.
The conspiracy theory, spread on social networks Weibo and WeChat, is that Trump was born in 1946 in Sichuan when his father set up a business in China after World War Two.
It's nonsense of course, but that hasn't stopped some locals from claiming him as "the pride of Sichuan" - despite his recent verbal attacks against China.
National swimmer Fu Yuanhui not only won a bronze medal at the Rio Olympic Games, but also scored a win with viewers in China in a now-iconic TV interview.
When told she had qualified for the final, Fu pulled a comically exaggerated face and declared: "I have used all my prehistoric powers to swim!"
'Prehistoric powers', or "honghuangzhili", was swiftly adopted as a term for an unstoppable force, while Fu became an internet darling.

As several Chinese cities choke in the annual winter smog, the Beijing authorities have come up with one novel way to address the problem - by calling it something else.
Earlier this month, municipal lawmakers said they were considering classifying smog as a meteorological disaster or "tianzai", arguing that the smog was caused not only by pollution but also weather conditions.
The move drew mockery online from fed-up citizens with even state media publishing rare criticism. People's Daily quoted one professor saying that the plan "not only goes against science, it will also create an excuse for polluters to escape their culpability."
The smog has also spawned other terms - such as "Smog Solstice", cropped up in a reference to the winter solstice.
One man's misfortune in love turned out to be a goldmine for netizens, when a man from Guangxi province uploaded a video of himself talking about his loneliness while his girlfriend was away.
Unbearable, I want to cry," he moaned - but thanks to his heavy accent, it ended up sounding more like "skinny blue mushroom".
"Lanshouxianggu" was swiftly shared more widely and took off as a meme, mostly as a way to mock the southern Guangxi accent.
But it was the forlorn lover who got the last laugh - identified as scooter salesman Wei Yong, he has since become a celebrity in China's lucrative online live-streaming industry.
A term whose closest equivalent is possibly "popcorn gallery", its fullest expression is "the melon-eating masses who don't know what's really going on".
Its origin is unclear, but netizens often use this - sometimes derogatorily - to describe a passive group of bystanders at a major incident or event.
Netizens are eternally playing cat-and-mouse with China's internet censors, and one of their latest tactics is the use of the word "zhao".
It's most commonly used to criticise the rich and powerful - as one of China's most common surnames, it's difficult to censor all posts with that word.
It's all part of a rich Chinese tradition of using oblique accusations to express opinions when it would otherwise be impossible - and dangerous - to directly criticise those in authority.
China's wealthiest man, Wang Jianlin, was met with the hollow laughter of cynical netizens earlier this year when he dished out advice on how to get rich.
"First set yourself a small target, for example, I first targeted to earn 100 million yuan!" he said in a television interview in August.
What followed was an avalanche of sarcasm online as people pointed out the impossibility of earning the equivalent of $14.3m in their entire lifetimes, let alone as a first step. The term has since been used sarcastically to refer to an impossible goal.
"Let me lose weight first - my target will be 30kg," wrote one netizen using the hashtag, while others have suggested getting married to celebrity heartthrobs.
Of course, major news themes also dominated the Chinese internet with words like Hong Kong's "localism", Taiwanese leader "Tsai Ing-wen", and "US election" trending this year.
More sensitive terms included "Uncle Toad", a reference to former President Jiang Zemin, and "Kim The Fat" as a nickname for North Korea's Kim Jong-un - although Chinese authorities, predictably, clamped down.

A British adventurer has completed an epic 14,600-nautical mile flight from the UK to Australia in a 73-year-old plane.

Tracey Curtis-Taylor set off in her 1942 Boeing Stearman aircraft called 'Spirit of Artemis' from Farnborough, England, in October.
She was retracing the route of Amy Johnson, who in 1930 became the first woman to fly solo from Britain to Australia, flying over 23 countries and making some 50 refuelling stops.
After landing in Sydney she tweeted it was the end of a "huge adventure" and also thanked "everyone who supported me".
Her route had taken her across Europe and the Mediterranean to Jordan, over the Arabian desert, across the Gulf of Oman to Pakistan, India and across Asia.


US-led coalition aircraft have bombed a convoy of pro-Syrian government forces in a remote area near the border with Jordan, US and rebel officials say.

Syrian and Iranian-backed militiamen were reportedly moving towards the Tanf base, which is used by rebel fighters and Western special forces personnel.
The US-backed Maghaweer al-Thawra rebel faction said the convoy was 27km (17 miles) away and contained four tanks.
There was no immediate comment from the government or its allies.
Rebel officials said earlier this week that hundreds of troops and militiamen were advancing into the sparsely-populated desert region, in an apparent attempt to halt recent rebel gains against so-called Islamic State (IS).
A US defence official said the pro-government convoy had not responded to numerous warnings that it was "getting too close to coalition forces" stationed at Tanf.
A telephone call was put into the Russian military, which backs President Bashar al-Assad. That was followed by a "show of force" by aircraft overhead and warning shots, the officials said.
"Then there was finally a strike against the lead portion of that movement."
Muzahem al-Saloum of Maghaweer al-Thawra told Reuters news agency that coalition jets had struck after rebel forces clashed with the convoy.
"We notified the coalition that we were being attacked by the Syrian army and Iranians in this point, and the coalition came and destroyed the advancing convoy," he said.
The pro-opposition Palmyra News Network said a number of vehicles were destroyed and that there were casualties.
The US defence official told AFP that the strike did not signal a strategic shift for the coalition, which has focused on battling IS and has tried to avoid intervening in Syria's civil war.
US-led troops helped repel a major IS attack on Tanf last month, while Russian warplanes bombed the base in June 2016.


A motorist who left their car in a bus stop has been given parking advice by South Wales Police.

Officers in Rhondda tweeted a photograph of the vehicle with the caption "the owner of this vehicle was a little optimistic thinking this would fit on the bus".
The car had been left on the pavement underneath the shelter.
Police have used the photograph to urge drivers to park responsibly.


Police staff facing charges of killing a man with mental health problems have been accused of lying about the dangers he posed.

Thomas Orchard, 32, who had schizophrenia, died in October 2012 after being arrested in Exeter.
The official record of the incident was falsified, Bristol Crown Court heard.
Civilian detention officer Simon Tansley claims to have been bitten by Mr Orchard but that "simply did not happen", said prosecutor Mark Heywood.
Simon Tansley, 38, and fellow civilian detention officer Michael Marsden, 55, along with custody sergeant Jan Kingshott, 44, deny manslaughter.
Mr Heywood played a video of Mr Orchard being taken into custody at Heavitree Road Police station.
Church caretaker Mr Orchard was handcuffed, held down and had an emergency response belt put across his face to restrain him, the court heard.
Mr Heywood described the treatment as "disproportionate, unreasonable and unlawful".
Mr Orchard, a church caretaker, suffered a cardiac arrest and died seven days later.
Mr Heywood added that the three defendants all played a part in the treatment of Mr Orchard.
The trial continues.


Jonathan Rea will hope to take another step towards retaining his World Superbike title when the series resumes in Germany after a two-month break.

Rea, 27, and his title rivals will be back in action this weekend at the Lausitzring circuit, which hosts a round for the first time since 2007.
With four rounds remaining, Rea enjoys a 46-point lead over Kawasaki team-mate Tom Sykes at the top of the standings.
Ducati's Chaz Davies is a further 62 points in arrears in third.
The final positions will be decided over the forthcoming eight races, which will be staged in Germany, France, Spain and Qatar.
The riders have enjoyed a longer than anticipated summer break since the ninth round at Laguna Seca in July, the Monza round in Italy having been removed from the calendar because of safety concerns with the track layout.
Rea and Sykes took a win apiece at the Californian circuit, but the Northern Ireland was forced to retire in race two with a mechanical problem, ending his 17-race podium streak.
Isle of Man-based Rea and the Yorkshireman have won eight and five races respectively in the championship so far, with Welshman Davies also occupying the top step of the podium on five occasions.
"I rode at the Lausitzring recently on my own road bike and it was good to get some track time at a course that is new to me. Our rivals tested there so it was important," said Rea.
"It was a long summer break - at first I just enjoyed being at home and after that I knuckled down to be in ideal condition for the last few races.
"I really put in some effort at the gym, riding motocross and my bicycle."
Rea's aim will be to finish ahead of his team-mate at the next two rounds, which would provide him with the opportunity to retain his title in mid-October at Jerez, the same venue where he wrapped up the Championship last season.
"The last four rounds come along in quick succession and it's important to be razor sharp to give myself the best possible chance through to the end of the season.
"My focus now is to increase the championship lead," added the County Antrim rider.


Mexico has launched an investigation after a video was made public appearing to show one of its soldiers shooting a man dead at point-blank range.

The alleged extrajudicial killing was caught on security cameras in Puebla state.
The footage emerged in local media, a week after a major clash between security forces and suspected oil thieves in the same town, Palmarito.
Four soldiers and six alleged criminals died in that incident.
The new video shows soldiers opening fire on a car carrying suspected oil thieves, before one of them is pulled from the vehicle and seemingly shot while lying on the ground.
Mexican media said both incidents happened on the same night, 3 May.
The defence ministry said in a statement that federal prosecutors should "comprehensively clear up" what happened.
The ministry also said soldiers had come under fire from the vehicle.
Mexico's army has been embroiled in a number of scandals in recent years and its work in communities - working against criminal gangs - is hotly debated.
Earlier this week, an international think-tank released a report ranking Mexico as the world's second deadliest after Syria.
The annual Armed Conflict Survey, by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), based their report on the number of homicides last year.
The IISS report said that Mexico's drug cartel-fuelled violence had claimed 23,000 lives in 2016, more than the violent deaths in Iraq or Afghanistan during that period.
The Mexican government rejected the findings.
A joint statement by the Mexican foreign and interior ministries criticised the IISS's "uncertain methods".
It said the existence of criminal groups and the use of the army for domestic security did not mean the country was in armed conflict. It also said not every homicide in the country was related to fighting criminal organisations.
Mexico says that the country's homicide rate is lower than that of other countries in the region, including Honduras and Venezuela.


The leader of Greece's left-wing Syriza bloc has said he will try to form a coalition based on tearing up the terms of the EU/IMF bailout deal.

Alexis Tsipras, whose bloc came second in Sunday's vote, said Greek voters had "clearly nullified the loan agreement".
He has three days to reach a coalition deal and has told the two major parties to end their support for the austerity terms if they want to take part.
The European Commission and Germany say countries must stick to budget cuts.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said on Tuesday: "What member states have to do is be consistent, implementing the policies that they have agreed."
But, after French voters chose a new president on Sunday in Francois Hollande who has advocated greater focus on growth, EU leaders are to gather on 23 May for an informal meeting at which his proposals will be discussed.
By Stephanie FlandersEconomics editor
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has written to Mr Hollande, saying that it is "up to us... to prepare our societies for the future and protect and advance prosperity in a sustainable way".
The financial chaos has sparked huge social unrest in Greece and led to a deep mistrust of the parties considered to be the architects of austerity.
On Monday the leader of the centre-right New Democracy (ND) party, Antonis Samaras, abandoned attempts to form a coalition.
ND came first in the polls but, in common with the centre-left Pasok - the other traditional party of power - saw its share of the vote dramatically reduced.
In March, both parties backed the terms of the second EU/IMF deal agreed by technocrat Prime Minister Lucas Papademos.
In return for its two bailouts - worth a total of 240bn euros (Â£190bn; $310) - Greece agreed to make deep cuts to pensions and pay, raise taxes and slash thousands of public sector jobs.
Their votes drained away in Sunday's elections in favour of smaller parties on the left and right, with Syriza picking up almost 17% of the vote. But because ND came first, it was awarded a 50-seat bonus in parliament according to Greek rules, and was initially asked to form a government.
Twenty-four hours later it was Mr Tsipras who was given a mandate to form a coalition during a meeting with President Karolos Papoulias and immediately he began talks with prospective partners.
Greek media said he had enlisted the support of a smaller left-wing party, Democratic Left, but had failed to persuade the communist KKE to back him. He is likely to talk to all the party leaders, except the ultra-nationalist Golden Dawn.
If the 38-year-old Syriza leader hopes to obtain the 151 seats needed for a majority in parliament, it is already clear he will need the backing of at least one of the two major parties.
He told reporters "the pro-bailout parties no longer have a majority in parliament to vote in destructive measures for the Greek people" and urged them to write to the EU and IMF saying they were taking back earlier promises of co-operation made as a condition of the bailouts.
Mr Tsipras made his position clear to reporters in a five-point plan:
Under Greece's current bailout plan, billions of euros in further austerity cuts will have to be found in June - and the country is also counting on a 30bn euro (Â£24bn; $39bn) instalment in EU/IMF funds.


Theresa May is to appear in a spread in glossy fashion magazine US Vogue, Downing Street has confirmed.

The prime minister - who is known for her love of fashion, especially eye-catching shoes - posed for the renowned portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz.
"The long-planned shoot for US Vogue will come out in April," a No 10 spokesman said.
The magazine's editor, British-born Anna Wintour, was made a dame in the New Year Honours.
Mrs May chose a lifetime's subscription to Vogue magazine as her luxury item when she appeared on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs programme.
Her choice of expensive, chocolate-coloured leather trousers - which retail for Â£995 - for a previous magazine spread angered former education secretary Nicky Morgan, who said she had never spent that much on anything except her wedding dress.
According to the Press Association, Downing Street sources denied reports the Vogue feature was connected to a planned visit to the US for the PM's first meeting with Donald Trump.
US photographer Annie Leibovitz has previously shot Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton for the publication.
Margaret Thatcher, the UK's only other female leader, was photographed four times for British Vogue.
Baroness Thatcher, who died in 2013, was known for her smart, unfussy style including power suits, pussy-bow blouses and an ever-present handbag.


The agent of Henrikh Mkhitaryan said it would be wrong to abandon attempts to get the Borussia Dortmund midfielder a move to Manchester United.

The Bundesliga club are refusing to let the 27-year-old leave following the departures of both Mats Hummels and Ilkay Gundongan this summer.
"It would be a sin to stop talking," said agent Mino Raiola.
"I am a positive guy. If I wasn't confident of reaching some kind of conclusion, I wouldn't try."
The Armenian has a year left on his contract and has told Dortmund he will not sign another deal, with United his preferred option.
Raiola added: "I am very proud Manchester United want him and the talks are being held in a good atmosphere, but at the moment Dortmund are still saying no."
New United manager Jose Mourinho is attempting to improve his squad after replacing Louis van Gaal.
He has already signed Eric Bailly from Villarreal, subject to the Ivorian being granted a work permit.
United are also expected to sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic once the Swede is free of his international commitments at Euro 2016.
Ibrahimovic, 34, is a free agent after leaving Paris St-Germain but Raiola, who is also the agent for the Swede, says he is still to decide his future.
"Manchester United is a great club, with a great coach," said Raiola.
"But Zlatan has not yet made his choice."
Ibrahimovic has had lucrative offers from China, the United States and Europe.

Today's world is full of terror, pain, poverty and despair, but those things should not be allowed to triumph, the Archbishop of Canterbury has said.

In his Easter message, the Most Reverend Justin Welby remembered the victims of the recent bombings at two Coptic Christian churches in Egypt.
He called on his congregation to bring "restoration and hope".
In Windsor, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined the Queen and Prince Philip for an Easter service.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte did not attend, but Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Prince Edward and his family and the Princess Royal all turned out for the service at Windsor Castle.
Wellwishers waited outside St George's Chapel and applauded the Queen when she arrived.
At Canterbury Cathedral, the archbishop told worshippers: "The words Jesus says on that first Easter day, he says to you and me now, to each of us, to listen, to take hold of, within our hearts: Do not be afraid.
"These things, these grim events overshadow our lives because we fear that they may have the last word.
"These things lie. They deceive. They pretend to have power that they do not have when they say that they are final. There is only one finality; Jesus, the crucified one, is alive."
He went on to say: "You and I must come alongside the suffering and, with love and gentleness, bring restoration and hope."
Meanwhile at the Vatican, Pope Francis used his Easter address to condemn Saturday's deadly attack on a bus convoy in Syria, and called for peace.
And at Westminster Cathedral, Archbishop Vincent Nichols called for co-operation, not conflict in the world in his Easter Sunday homily.
"We pray for peace in our troubled world, as confrontations harden and threats increase," said the head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales.
"We pray for wisdom and prudence in world leaders and an unwavering determination for cooperation rather than conflict."


Facebook's chief executive has said he is sympathetic to Apple's position in its clash with the FBI.

The FBI has ordered Apple to disable the security software on a dead murderer's iPhone but the tech giant has refused.
Mark Zuckerberg said he did not believe the authorities should have backdoors to bypass encryption protection.
However, a lawyer representing some of the gunman's victims has backed the federal bureau.
Stephen Larson, a former judge, said he intended to file legal paperwork next month telling Apple to co-operate.
"They were targeted by terrorists, and they need to know why, how this could happen," he added.
He declined to say how many of the victims he was representing, but did add that he would not be charging them a fee.
Mr Zuckerberg made his comments at the Mobile World Congress tech show in Barcelona.
"I don't think that requiring back doors to encryption is either going to be an effective thing to increase security or is really the right thing to do," he said.
"We are pretty sympathetic to Tim [Cook] and Apple."
He added that Facebook was committed to doing all it could to prevent terrorism but his company was in favour of encryption.
The social network had previously issued a statement saying that the court order could create a "chilling precedent".
Leaders at Google and Twitter also voiced support for Apple last week.
Fourteen people were killed and 22 injured when gunman Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik opened fire in California last December.
Apple's chief executive Tim Cook has described the FBI's order as "dangerous" and "unprecedented".
He has said the firm would have to build a new operating system in order to comply.
"We strongly believe the only way to guarantee that such a powerful tool isn't abused and doesn't fall into the wrong hands is to never create it," the firm stated in a Q&A on the Apple website.
In a statement published on Sunday, the FBI Director James Comey said the demand was "about the victims and justice".
"We simply want the chance, with a search warrant, to try to guess the terrorist's passcode without the phone essentially self-destructing and without it taking a decade to guess correctly," the FBI director wrote.
"That's it. We don't want to break anyone's encryption or set a master key loose on the land.
"Maybe the phone holds the clue to finding more terrorists. Maybe it doesn't. But we can't look the survivors in the eye, or ourselves in the mirror, if we don't follow this lead."
Last week anti-virus creator John McAfee offered to unlock the iPhone for the FBI.
"It will take us three weeks," he told Business Insider, adding that he would eat his shoe on television if his team failed.


Fermanagh rider Josh Elliott is to defend his British Superstock 1000cc title on a Tyco BMW next season.

The 21-year-old saw off a strong challenge from fellow Northern Ireland rider Alastair Seeley to secure the crown at Silverstone in October.
Toomebridge man Michael Laverty will be joined in the team by Christian Iddon for the British Superbike Championship.
Ian Hutchinson will contest the three main international road races, plus the British Superstock series, on the BMW.
"I'm over the moon to be joining Tyco BMW for next season, especially after getting to see the strength of the package first hand this season while battling with Alastair," enthused Elliott.
"Even though I won the championship this year, I was constantly thinking to myself what more I could have achieved on the Tyco BMW package as I felt I had to ride that extra bit harder to deliver results.
"I've always looked up to the TAS Racing team over the years so to now be part of the set-up is fantastic."


Belize has no daily newspapers; some weeklies are subsidised by political parties.

Radio listeners rely on a range of commercial outlets, most of them networked nationwide. Privately-owned TV stations are on the air and cable TV is available in the towns.
The constitution guarantees media freedom, but provides exceptions in the interest of national security, public order and morality.
There were 74,700 internet users by June 2012 (Internetworldstats). There are no official curbs, but internet use is low because of a lack of infrastructure and high costs, says US-based Freedom House. Facebook is the main social media platform.


Glasgow City defeated Hibernian Ladies to win the Scottish Women's Premier League for the 10th successive season.

Sarah Crilly scored the opener after 10 minutes from six yards out before Savannah McCarthy headed City's second.
Claire Shine wrapped up the title when she volleyed home on the rebound, with Siobhan Hunter getting a late consolation for second-placed Hibs.
"This is a massive accomplishment for the club," said Glasgow City head coach Scott Booth.
"The amount of people who have been involved in 10 in a row is incredible and something so many great people have made happen.
"For me, I am delighted to be a part of it. There was huge pressure on us this season given the significance of what we could do, but these players continue to rise to every occasion and I am very proud of everyone."
City will be officially presented with the SWPL trophy next Sunday after their league match against Rangers and could make it a league and cup double when they face Hibs again in the Scottish Cup final on 6 November.
Elsewhere, Rangers beat Forfar Farmington 3-0 and Celtic beat Spartans 1-0.


A man has been charged after an attempted armed robbery in an East Lothian shop.

The incident happened at the Co-op on Main Street, Ormiston, on Sunday 19 February at about 22:15.
Police Scotland said a 35-year-old man had been charged in connection with the attempted armed robbery.
He is expected to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.


A commuter train that derailed in Philadelphia, killing at least seven people, was travelling at twice the speed limit, say safety experts.

The driver applied the emergency brakes when the train hit 106mph (170km/h) on a 50mph track, said the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
But his efforts had only brought the speed down to 102mph when the deadly crash happened.
The speed was recorded in the so-called black box recovered from the wreckage.
Robert Sumwalt of the NTSB told reporters a speed control system in place along parts of that route along Amtrak's Northeast Corridor was not yet in place on that section.
"We feel that had such a system been installed in this section of track, this accident would not have occurred," he said.
Amtrak Train 188 was going from Washington to New York when it derailed on Tuesday night, leaving more 200 people injured.
The death toll rose from six to seven on Wednesday, as another body was found by the search and rescue team.
Only three victims have been publicly identified so far:
One of the busiest stretches of passenger rail in the country, between Philadelphia and New York, is closed as officials continue to try to establish exactly what happened.
President Obama said he was "shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the derailment".
As emergency crews continued to dig through the wreckage, lawmakers in Washington debated the future of Amtrak's budget, with one spending committee voting to slash their funding by almost a fifth.
"We are divesting from America," accused one member of Congress.
"Don't use this tragedy in that way," another Congressman responded angrily.
Congress has only 18 more days before federal funding for transportation infrastructure expires, but the funding is likely to be temporarily extended.
Amtrak is a national publicly funded rail service, serving tens of millions of people every year.


In order to move up the world's financial rankings, emerging economies need to prioritise green growth, a US expert on the topic says.

New York University's Jerry Hultin lists 10 "green future" priorities - such as green energy and innovation - as key areas to ensure future growth.
He also wants to see a system to accelerate the time it takes for ideas to appear in the marketplace.
Mr Hultin outlined his priorities at a high level forum in San Francisco.
"Young people are very excited about the chance to make the world a better place," explained Mr Hultin, who was under-secretary of the US Navy during Bill Clinton's presidency.
"The clock is ticking as far as population growth, consumption etc is concerned. We need to come up with solutions.
"As an under-secretary for the navy and thinking about the stability and defence of the world, solving this challenge is a great opportunity for young people around the world."
Mr Hultin's 10 priorities include:
He said conventional fuel would be one of the "three big things" that will be in short supply in the future.
"Food, fuel and [water] are going to be in short supply when the population rises to nine or 10 billion people by 2050," he told BBC News.
"So green energy, both in terms of how you create it and how you use it, is a critical issue.
"In the United Arab Emirates, there is a lot of interest in green energy because they do not want to consume  what is their most valuable source of revenue, which is oil and gas.
"They want to be sure that they have alternative ways to generate and use energy."
Networking key
Mr Hultin will be among speakers at the High Level Forum on Green Future in San Francisco, organised by the Global Science and Innovation Advisory Council (GSIAC) - a joint initiative between the Malaysia Industry-Government Group for High Technology and the New York Academy of Sciences (NYAS).
Malaysia's Prime Minister, Najib Abdul Razak, will be among the speakers at the event.
Mr Hultin identified an area that he felt needed to be unlocked in order for emerging economies to advance.
"The key that I think it missing to (unlock) innovative economies and societies is networking and communication," he suggested.
"We need an open system of ideas getting into the marketplace and tested so then we can see if they are successful or quickly determine that they are not going to work.
"So I put a high value on what I call networking because it is the flow of information, the flow of ideas and the flow of capital."


Plaid Cymru has dismissed claims that it was given £25,000 by former Libyan dictator Col Muammar Gaddafi in 1976.

The claims have been made by Dr Carl Clowes, a party activist who visited the north African state at the time as a guest of the Arab Socialist Union.
He told BBC Wales the Libyans were keen to forge links with Plaid Cymru as a socialist party and asked how they could help.
Plaid Cymru said there was "no record or knowledge" of any such donation.
Public health consultant Dr Clowes made the claim in his autobiography, to be published in October.
He told BBC Radio Wales he was part of a four-man Plaid Cymru delegation which visited Libya in 1976 to see how the country had used its oil riches to build schools and hospitals.
The group was led by Dr Phil Williams, who later became a Plaid Cymru AM.
"It may have been controversial but we went for the right motivation," Dr Clowes said.
"We wanted to see what was being done in the country, and we were impressed by what we saw.
"That isn't to say of course that [life under] Gaddafi was all roses.
"This was a man who clearly was concerned to see the capitalist system in the west undermined.
"In a sense, Plaid Cymru as a socialist party was something he could identify with."
The offer came at the end of the visit from Mabrouk Dredi, a member of the Arab Socialist Union who had been the Welsh group's host, Dr Clowes said.
"He suggested having heard what we had to say throughout the previous days that they would like to be in a position to help.
"That took us a bit by surprise and we heard nothing more at the time.
"It was only a month or so later that one of the four of us who went, Brian Morgan Edwards who was treasurer of Plaid in that period...  said some money had arrived - £25,000 [current worth about £160,000].
"It was to be donated by the Arab Socialist Union.
"I have no doubt in my mind what Brian told me - I have no doubt in my mind what I heard when I was out there, that they would see how they could help us."
He added: "[The money] was unconditional ... if goes into the coffers and helps support the general activities of Plaid Cymru and the aim of creating a socialist country why would one object to it?"
Asked whether it was wise for Plaid Cymru to accept money from the Libyan regime, Dr Clowes pointed out that many western leaders developed friendly ties with Col Gaddafi before he was deposed and killed in the 2011 Libyan uprising.
"Let's bear in mind that [Tony] Blair was embracing Gaddafi some years later," he said.
"Politics is not a clean business at times."
A Plaid Cymru spokesperson said: "The trip to Libya was well documented at the time and since.
"There is absolutely no record or knowledge of any such donation being made to Plaid Cymru."


Eamonn Burns will remain as Down manager for another year but Fermanagh boss Pete McGrath could quit after the weekend qualifier defeat by Mayo.

Down have ratified Burns for the 2017 campaign despite losing all their league and championship games.
Former Mourne boss McGrath has been in charge of Fermanagh since 2013.
"I need to consider what I want to do for 2017, what the players want and how I can push the team forward or if a new face is needed," he said.
"To be honest I have put in two years of hard work and it does take up a lot of time managing any side whether that be club or country," McGrath added in a county board statement to the Irish News.
McGrath was irate at the decision by referee Joe McQuillan to award Mayo a controversial penalty in the 2-14 to 1-12 loss at McHale Park.
James McCartan will continue as Down minors boss but Frank Dawson will not manage the U21 side next year, with his replacement yet to be confirmed.


Cameroon's military are battling cross-border raids by Nigeria's militant Islamist group Boko Haram, as the BBC's Thomas Fessy found out when he joined soldiers on a patrol.

A soldier is standing on the back of a flatbed pick-up truck leading the convoy.
His high-powered twin-barrelled gun is turned towards Nigeria. In reality, though, the weapon is aimed at what Boko Haram call their "caliphate", or Islamic state.
The border village of Amchide is mostly deserted. Only a handful of people can be seen as we drive through.
They are hastily throwing a few belongings on a cart as they prepare to leave.  They probably did not have time to take anything when they fled during an attack, and came back to recover their possessions.
The dusty road is the line that the militants keep crossing on almost a daily basis now, attacking the villages and Cameroonian army positions.
"Every day, there are gunshots," a Cameroonian commander says.
He explains that the situation is so tense that he would rather stay anonymous.
"They are there; they are turning, watching, trying to know what we are doing and how we can react. It's unpredictable. Boko Haram is like a ghost."
The strain is tangible. Cameroon's elite Rapid Intervention Battalion, commonly known by its French acronym BIR, has lost dozens of men since the beginning of the year in the fight against Boko Haram.
About 1,000 men from BIR, trained by US and Israeli forces, have been deployed along a 500-km (300- mile) stretch of porous border with Nigeria.
Boko Haram is advancing and Cameroon's military fight daily battles to keep the boundary with Nigeria - Africa's most populous state - intact.
Cameroon's military recently dispatched another 2,000 soldiers to the border region to reinforce troops.
Last month, Boko Haram attacked the military post at Amchide with a tank.
A car bomb exploded a few metres away minutes before the tank stormed the gate of the Cameroonian base. The tank's charred remains are still to be seen outside the military post.
Cameroonian soldiers complain that they have been left to fight a war which started in another country on their own.
On the other side of the front line, the Nigerian army has fled.
"And the French, where are the French?" an army officer bitterly asks, referring to the French counter-terrorism force commanded from Ndjamena, the capital of Chad, only a few hundred kilometres to the north-east.
Who are Boko Haram?
Founded in 2002
Who are the militants?
The rains have come to an end and the rivers have dried. Cameroonian soldiers know that during the dry season, more attacks are likely.
Their concern is that the militants, who have taken control of some ten towns in Nigeria, want to raise the black flag of their "caliphate" on their territory as well.
"No one is really able to say what Boko Haram wants," says Saibou Issa, specialist in Peace and Security Studies at the University of Maroua, the capital of Cameroon's Far North region.
"But they are able to play on the fact that the cross-border security co-operation is non-existent. It is only a matter of time before Boko Haram launches a terror attack in Maroua. Then it will trigger a much bigger crisis."
There are suspicion and fear on the streets of Maroua, which has a population of more than 200,000.
"I don't feel comfortable near people whom I don't really know well," says a student at the university, "I make sure that I am home before six PM."
"Never go out without your ID card," says the young man next to her as they queue to register for their exams.
"Anything can happen and if you are caught in the area when it does, without documents, you will automatically become a suspect," he says.
In this impoverished region, pastoralists and traders cannot move across the border anymore.
The long-term economic impact of Boko Haram's military campaign, launched in Nigeria in 2009, is grim.
About 43,000 Nigerians have poured into Cameroon so far, according to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR).
"We expect thousands more in the coming weeks," says Samuel Cameroun at Minawao refugee camp, which currently hosts 17,000 people.
They all arrive there with stories of unspeakable suffering inflicted by Boko Haram.
"When they took over my town, we felt like prisoners," says Mariamu Ali, 26.
Her husband was shot dead by Boko Haram in Gwoza, a Nigerian town with a population of more than 250,000 captured by Boko Haram in August when it declared a  caliphate in areas under its control.
After a year on the run, the rest of Mrs Ali's family is finally reunited here at the camp.
From the foothills of Gwoza in Borno state, they had kept fleeing southwards, from one attack after another.
"When they ordered single and widowed women to marry fighters, I knew I had to escape," says Mrs Ali, a Muslim.
When Boko Haram raids a town or a village, it rules with guns and knives.
Adamou Moussa, a Christian, shows me a large scar on his right arm.
He took a bullet during one attack, he says, and in another attack his left hand was maimed.
"They said: 'We have come purposely for you, you have to be a Muslim today'," Mr Moussa explains.
To the militants who threatened to slit his throat if he did not comply, he replied: "To be a Muslim for me is not a day job. I cannot be a Muslim. I have my religion."
A Boko Haram fighter went for his neck but he raised his hand to protect himself. One of his fingers was severed.
People like Mr Moussa are lucky to have escaped Boko Haram's rule and are safe for now but the brutality they left behind in Nigeria may soon follow them as Boko Haram has already spread its war into Cameroon.


The Indian army has said there is little chance of finding alive any of the 10 soldiers who went missing after an avalanche struck the Siachen glacier in Indian-administered Kashmir.

A spokesman said rescuers searched the site for a second day on Thursday.
The avalanche hit the high-altitude military post on the northern side of the glacier on Wednesday morning.
Siachen is patrolled by troops from both India and Pakistan, who dispute the region's sovereignty.
It is known as the world's highest battlefield. Four Indian soldiers were killed by an avalanche in the same area last month.
"The area presents temperatures ranging from a minimum of minus 42C in the night to a maximum of minus 25C during the day," the army said in a statement.
"Rescue teams are braving adverse weather and effects of rarefied atmosphere to locate and rescue survivors.
"However, it is with deepest of regrets that we have to state that chances of finding any survivors are now very remote," the statement added.
"It is a tragic event and we salute the soldiers who braved all challenges to guard our frontiers and made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty," the head of the army's northern command Lt-Gen DS Hooda said.
More soldiers have died from harsh weather on the glacier than in combat since India seized control of it in 1984, narrowly pipping Pakistan. Soldiers have been deployed at heights of up to 22,000 ft (6,700m) above sea level.
The neighbours have failed to demilitarise the Siachen glacier despite several rounds of peace talks.


One of the Football League's founding clubs has an "emerging" hooligan firm, a police force has warned.

Nottinghamshire Police said it would be increasing police activity after gathering intelligence on Notts County followers all season.
The news comes after three people were charged following trouble at County's 5-0 defeat at Mansfield on Saturday.
The club said it did not "condone the behaviour of a very small minority" of supporters at the Mansfield match.
Live updates and more from Nottinghamshire
Nottinghamshire Police believe a gang of "about 60 to 80" hooligans is targeting Notts County matches.
Supt Mark Holland, who is head of football policing in Nottinghamshire, said he had been concerned about the group for some time.
"We've been monitoring this all season and there is definitely an emerging group there," he said.
"There's about 60 to 80 'supporters' who have been attending away games, causing problems and disorder.
"We don't police more than 50% of the games in Nottinghamshire, but we've been attending all Notts County games in an intelligence-gathering capacity.
"They're trying to get themselves established, but we've arrested quite a few of them, we've gathered quite a bit of intelligence and there'll be further action to come."
Formed in 1862, Notts County is considered to be the oldest professional football team in the world and was one of 12 founding members of the Football League in 1888.
Saturday's arrests at the League Two match at Mansfield were for possession of a firework/flare at a sporting event, being drunk at a sports ground and accessing the pitch.
Three men were charged and have been bailed to appear in court next month.


Voters in the Central African Republic (CAR) cast their ballots on 30 December in presidential and parliamentary elections aimed at re-establishing an elected administration after three years of turmoil.

A Muslim alliance called the Seleka seized power in March 2013. A band of mostly Christian militias, called the anti-Balaka, rose up to counter the Seleka as the country descended into sectarian violence.
A transitional government was formed in January 2014 and elections have been postponed four times since February 2015 due to insecurity and logistical challenges, in spite of the presence of international peacekeepers.
Who is running for president?
Former Prime Minister Martin Ziguele, an economist, heads the one-time ruling party, the Movement for the Liberation of the Central African People (MLPC). He has pledged to restore state authority and prosecute perpetrators of abuses.
Fidele Gouandjika, a wealthy businessman with years of experience in previous governments, has struck a nationalistic chord with voters by calling for the country to be wrested "from the clutches" of France, the former colonial power.
Also in contention are two sons of former CAR leaders, Sylvain Patasse-Ngakoutou and Jean Serge Bokassa.
Former Humanitarian Action Minister Regina Konzi-Mongot is the only female candidate.
The Constitutional Court has cleared 30 candidates and rejected 14 others, including ousted President Francois Bozize and the "national coordinator" of the anti-Balaka militia, Patrice Edouard Ngaissona. The two are seen as the leaders of the Christian militia who were blamed for wide-scale massacres against the minority Muslim population.
Not likely. The exclusion of armed groups from the vote could possibly set the ground for conflict in the near future. There are estimated to be tens of thousands of fighters in a country of 4.8 million.
The militia, who have no formal command structures, do not respect state authority and have become increasingly belligerent.
The leader of a Seleka faction, "General" Noureddine Adam, had said there would be no voting in the autonomous republic which he declared in the mainly Muslim north.
However, after talks with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Chad just days before the election, he said he would "contribute positively and sincerely" to the poll and withdrew his call for a separate state.
The referendum on constitutional changes earlier this month was marred by violence.
The presence of UN and French troops has largely failed to stabilize the country. An election dispute is unlikely to trigger conflict on its own, but will feed into existing political tensions. Armed groups could take advantage of a fresh political stand-off and perpetrate violence.
With Muslims displaced from most of the south, including the capital, support for the Seleka has been confined to the north-east and a few other pockets in the north.
The Seleka remain powerful in their heartland in the north-east.
Pope Francis ignored safety concerns to visit CAR last month.
As well as celebrating Mass, he gave a speech in a mosque, saying "Christians and Muslims are brothers and sisters".
But sectarian divisions remain deep in the country where some view Muslims as foreigners. Most of the leading candidates are Christians and even if they shy away from inflammatory rhetoric, are likely to pander to the Christian majority.

Simon Grayson's wider experience of the English game makes him a better choice as Sunderland manager than previous target Derek McInnes, says ex-Black Cats winger Kevin Kilbane.

Grayson, 47, joined Sunderland on Thursday from Preston North End, another of Kilbane's former clubs.
Earlier in June, Aberdeen boss McInnes turned down the job after talks.
"If you look the track records of both managers, Grayson is a much better appointment," Kilbane said.
The former Republic of Ireland international added to BBC Newcastle: "Grayson has knowledge of the English leagues and a wealth of experience.
"It is nothing against Derek McInnes. He may go on to excel.
"It may be something Sunderland regret but, going on past performances, I believe Grayson is head and shoulders above McInnes."
Kilbane says Grayson "will fit perfectly into what Sunderland supporters want from a manager", comparing him to Peter Reid, who Kilbane played under at the Stadium of Light.
"His track record is excellent. He has got a lot of experience and is very much what you see is what you get," Kilbane said.
"Peter Reid was very much in that mould. He will say it as he sees it and that might upset people but, in general, people will respect him for his views.
"I have total admiration for what he has achieved."
Grayson replaces David Moyes, who resigned in May following the club's relegation from the Premier League.
The club's search for a new manager was put on hold by potential takeover talks, which were called off on Thursday.
"With the appointment coming so late and the lack of time he has got to invest in the squad, time is against him," Kilbane said.
"Sunderland fans might not want to hear it but it might be that this is a season of stabilisation.
"We might not see the best of Sunderland in August, September and October. Maybe in December and January he will have had time to get his ideas across."
Former Preston player Kilbane added. "After growing up a Preston fan I felt this season was time for Grayson and Preston to kick on and seriously challenge for the play-offs and hopefully for promotion.
"There is a tinge of sadness but I am a realist. I am sure Preston realise that it is a great opportunity for Grayson."


There are no plans for any insurance products to help people plan ahead for their care needs in old age, leading companies have told the BBC.

Creating such a market was one of the key aims underpinning the government's decision to introduce a cap on care costs in England from next year.
Two years ago Prime Minister David Cameron said he hoped the plans would "open up an enormous market".
But 17 major companies said there was not enough interest in such policies.
Care experts said the revelation was a blow.
About 60% of people are expected to need care in their old age - with one in 10 facing costs in excess of £100,000.
From April 2016, the government is setting the cap on care at £72,000 from the age of 65. Currently people face unlimited costs - although those with little wealth get help towards their costs.
Under the change, once an individual has spent that sum, the state will pick up the bill for care - although people will still be liable for £230 weekly living costs if they are in a care home.
The BBC has launched an online guide to the care system for the over-65s. The "care calculator" covers both residential care and the support provided in people's own homes, for tasks such as washing and dressing.
Users can submit their postcode and find out how much each service costs wherever they live in the UK.
There is also a dedicated BBC Cost of Care website with news stories, explainers, analysis and video.
By covering the catastrophic costs, ministers hoped insurance policies would be offered to people so they could make small payments in the decades before they reached the age when they needed care.
The only products currently on the market are immediate needs annuities, which involve people paying a one-off lump sum - often about £100,000 - when they start needing care.
The idea is that they will then be paid an income over the rest of their life to cover the costs of care.
However, some people have reported the policies have failed to keep pace with the rising costs of care - and, because of the upfront money involved, they are out of the reach of many people.
The BBC approached 20 companies and received 17 responses as part of its Cost of Care project, which includes an online guide to how care works and what it costs.
The companies participated on the basis they would remain anonymous. One said a key problem was that people tended not to plan for retirement and the government's proposals had not "fundamentally changed that picture".
Another reported that few people were prepared to "defer consumption today to pay for an event which may not occur".
Care refers to everything from support provided in people's homes to round-the-clock help in care homes.
Unlike with the NHS, people have to pay towards these services.
Some get help from their local authorities, but others pay the full cost of their care. One in 10 people faces lifetime costs of more than £100,000.
About 420,000 people are currently living in care and nursing homes across the UK, while about one million receive help in their own home.
There are another 1.5 million people who rely on friends and family for support.
Care Minister Norman Lamb said: "I do challenge the insurance industry - don't be conservative on this. Step up to the plate. They have a responsibility in my view too. We need to do this collaboratively.
"We've taken the steps that they wanted us to take to enable them to do these reforms. And I think they need to be ambitious and to recognise the importance of providing products so that people can plan for old age."
But Yvonne Braun, of the Association of British Insurers, said the industry was ultimately responding to the "law of supply and demand".
"If you wanted to sell to somebody in their 30s, 40s and 50s, or even 60s, I think you would find it very very difficult. Younger people... have other financial priorities - specifically paying off their mortgage and supporting their children."
She said it was more likely that other insurance products, such as critical illness cover and life insurance, would be adapted to cover care costs.
James Lloyd, director of the Strategic Society think tank, said there were always doubts the insurance industry would develop products.
"The government could lower the cap to try to encourage more interest, it could just accept that people will have to pay the £72,000 in costs or develop its own state insurance model - that has happened in Germany. But there really isn't an easy answer."


The EU has cancelled a meeting with Macedonia's political leaders, amid a crisis that has seen thousands flocking to anti-government rallies.

The meeting had been scheduled to take place in Vienna on Friday.
A Macedonian presidential pardon for 56 politicians embroiled in a corruption scandal sparked fury last week.
The EU Commission and MEPs say they regret "retrograde steps" in the Balkan nation which are delaying its progress towards EU membership.
EU sanctions against certain Macedonian politicians are a possibility, Reuters news agency quoted one EU official as saying.
The EU Commissioner for Enlargement, Johannes Hahn, and several MEPs are trying to mediate in Macedonia's political crisis. They had planned to build on the Przino agreement, a political deal reached under EU auspices last year.
But in a statement on Thursday the EU officials said it was time for the politicians to deliver. "The persisting rule of law issues in [the capital] Skopje, which undermine this agreement, must be addressed without any further delay," it said.
Macedonia's opposition has demanded that President Gjorge Ivanov revoke the mass pardon and postpone snap elections that he called for 5 June.
Political deadlock has gripped Macedonia for two years.
The opposition has accused former Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski of illegal wire-tapping - allegedly 20,000 people, including politicians and journalists, were bugged. President Ivanov cancelled an investigation into that alleged abuse of power.


Former British and Irish Lions captains Gavin Hastings, Martin Johnson and Brian O'Driscoll have backed Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones to lead the Lions tour to New Zealand.

Jones' credentials put him "out on his own" according to Scotland's Hastings, who led the 1993 tour to New Zealand.
"I think Jones is showing his characteristics as a leader of men," said Hastings.
Jones led the Lions in the decisive final Test in Australia in 2013.
"He's a guy that's been around the block more than once. No-one else (is in the frame)," added Hastings, who was also part of the winning tour of Australia in 1989.
"I think Jones is out on his own. [England's] Dylan Hartley's gone backwards a wee bit."

The Wales lock, 31, is also seen as a front-runner by World Cup-winning captain Johnson and Ireland's O'Driscoll, even though he only took over the Wales leadership on a regular basis in 2017.
"The front-runner has to be Alun Wyn Jones, he captained the Lions in the final game in 2013, he's respected in New Zealand and you have to anticipate he's going to be a Test starter. He certainly would be on my team," said O'Driscoll, Lions captain in 2005 and 2009.
"Alun Wyn is probably the front-runner at the moment but there's lots to happen between now and the announcement of the squad."
Former England lock Johnson, who was victorious on the 1997 tour of South Africa and also led the 2001 trip to Australia, thinks Jones' performance in the Six Nations defeat to England in Cardiff has edged him ahead of Scotland's Greig Laidlaw, Hartley and Ireland's Rory Best.
"All four nations captains have a chance, though Greig is out of the tournament which is unfortunate," Johnson told BBC Wales Sport.

"You've got two hookers, but I thought Jones played really well so maybe he'll have his nose slightly in front.
"He's an experienced player, been out there before, playing pretty well."
The Lions tour to New Zealand kicks off on 3 June, with three tests on 24 June, 1 and 8 July in Auckland, Wellington and Auckland again.

Caterham have announced that they will retain Japanese driver Kamui Kobayashi for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The Oxfordshire-based team have missed the last two races due to financial problems, but will compete at the season-ending race thanks to a successful crowdfunding project.
"It will be nice to be back in the car," Kobayashi said. "This team is working hard and never gives up."
Caterham say they will announce their second driver "in due course".
Kobayashi, 28, has raced 14 times this season, but was dropped for the Belgian Grand Prix, and also criticised Caterham over repairs made to his car during the Russian Grand Prix weekend.
Finnbarr O'Connell, the team's administrator, said: "The team are delighted to have Kamui on board for the race weekend in Abu Dhabi."
Swede Marcus Ericsson, who has driven alongside Kobayashi for most of the season, terminated his Caterham contract with immediate effect earlier this week.


Roedd aros mewn ambiwlans am bum awr y tu allan i ysbyty wedi achosi niwed difrifol i ddynes fu farw'n ddiweddarach, mae cwest wedi clywed.

Roedd Lily Baxandall, 95 o Abergele, yn effro pan gafodd ei chludo i Ysbyty Glan Clwyd ym Modelwyddan ar 1 Medi 2014, ond gwaethygodd ei chyflwr wrth iddi aros i fynd i mewn.
Er iddi gyrraedd am tua 16:50 gydag anaf i'w phen, ni chafodd fynediad i'r ysbyty tan 21:40.
Dywedodd y crwner bod Ms Baxandall wedi marw o waedu ar ei hymennydd a niwmonia, ond dywedodd na all "fod yn arferol" bod ambiwlansys yn aros y tu allan i ysbytai.
Cyrhaeddodd Ms Baxandall yr ysbyty gyda chleisiau ar ei hwyneb a gwaedu ar ei hymennydd, a chlywodd y cwest yn Rhuthun bod yr ysbyty yn eithriadol o brysur y diwrnod hwnnw.
Dywedodd ei gor-nith, Dr Kate Thomas, wrth y cwest bod cyflwr Ms Baxandall wedi gwaethygu yn ystod y dydd.
Dywedodd Dr Thomas ei bod yn amlwg bod ei modryb wedi dioddef gwaedu ar ei hymennydd, ond ei bod yn teimlo ei fod yn rhy hwyr erbyn hynny  i roi triniaeth i atal effeithiau cyffur i deneuo ei gwaed oedd yn trin cyflwr ar ei chalon.
Fe wnaeth meddygon roi'r gorau i drin Ms Baxandall y diwrnod wedyn, a bu farw ar 5 Medi.
Dywedodd Frances Millar, oedd yn gweithio'r noson honno, bod diwrnod prysur wedi troi yn "noson eithriadol", gydag ysbytai Wrecsam a Bangor yn llawn hefyd.
Clywodd y cwest bod "pawb yn gweithio yn galed iawn, iawn", a dywedodd Ms Millar nad oedd yn gweld beth fyddai wedi ei wneud yn wahanol.
Dywedodd pennaeth nyrsio gofal brys yn Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, Adam Griffiths, bod gwelliannau wedi eu gwneud  ond nad oedd y sefyllfa "unman yn agos" i'r targed.
Wrth gofnodi rheithfarn o farwolaeth ddamweiniol, dywedodd y crwner John Gittins y byddai'n gwneud adroddiad i Fwrdd Iechyd Betsi Cadwaladr, yr Ymddiriedolaeth Ambiwlans a chynghorau'r gogledd i atal achosion tebyg.
Dywedodd bod gwelliannau wedi eu gwneud, ond bod heriau pellach yn parhau a byddai hyn angen "cydweithio" i'w datrys.
"...Os ydyn ni'n caniatau i'r problemau yma barhau... Mae perygl y bydd marwolaethau pellach yn digwydd..." meddai.
Dywedodd prif weithredwr y bwrdd iechyd ei fod yn croesawu'r alwad am gydweithio i ddatrys problemau.
Dywedodd Gary Doherty: "Fe wnaeth y crwner gydnabod ein bod wedi gwneud gwelliannau sylweddol ers marwolaeth Ms Baxandall yn 2014.
"Ond rydyn ni'n derbyn bod llawer mwy y gallwn ni ei wneud a byddwn yn parhau i weithio gyda'n partneriaid yng ngogledd Cymru i adeiladu ar y gwelliant sydd wedi ei wneud."


Until well into the 1980s, Tory grandees tended to show interest in new MPs only if they had aristocratic heritage or were a waspish intellect in the mould of Chris Patten.

The odd exception was made. Sir John Major was eventually admitted into the Blue Chip group of Tory MPs first elected in 1979, though only when it became clear he was racing to the top.
David Davis, the Brexit Secretary, who was elected to Parliament a generation ago, in 1987, is neither an aristocrat nor a whimsical intellectual.
He had a troubled upbringing and is more of an intellectual bruiser dating back to the time when he stood up to his bullying stepfather.
But Mr Davis marked himself out to Tory grandees after accepting a dare.
Over dinner hosted by the late Alan Clark at his medieval Saltwood Castle in Kent, Mr Davis agreed to walk along the "black" route, the crumbling ramparts overlooking the ruins of a chapel.
"[He] did the 'black' route without turning a hair, then retraced his footsteps, hands in pockets - first time that's ever been done!" Clark wrote in his diary.
Mr Davis' training in the SAS (Reserve) regiment - which helped fund his way through university - had paid off.
Nonchalantly completing the black route cemented Mr Davis' reputation among Tories as a fearless hard man.
But it also illustrated another character trait that gives an insight into his approach to the Brexit negotiations.
Mr Davis is prepared to take risks but never in a reckless way, and only after a careful calculation of all the options in front of him.
Mr Davis' belief in taking calculated risks explains one of the central decisions Theresa May has taken in her approach to Brexit.
This was her declaration, outlined in her Lancaster House speech in January on the Brexit negotiations, the UK was prepared to walk away from a bad deal.
Mr Davis had advised the prime minister the EU would take the UK seriously only if it showed it was unafraid of no deal.
Lord Howard of Lympne, the former Tory leader, who had difficult relations with David Davis in his days as shadow home secretary, wholeheartedly endorses his approach.
"Obviously it would be better place for the EU and the UK if a sensible constructive deal is struck," Lord Howard told the BBC's Newsnight programme.
"But if, for whatever reason, they don't want to do that, we'll be fine without a deal.
"We can manage without a deal - better with one, fine without one."
The confidence that led Mr Davis to advise the prime minister to think nothing of calling the bluff of the remaining EU member states has won him an admiring band of supporters on the Tory benches. But, to some, his confidence can border on cockiness.
One Tory grandee told Newsnight: "He is the only man I know who can swagger sitting down."
Andrew Mitchell, the former cabinet minister who ran Mr Davis' unsuccessful campaign for the Tory leadership in 2005, told Newsnight: "He is an extraordinarily optimistic and self-confident person.
"I remember one of the Cameroons saying to me in exasperation that he was the only person he knows who did not go to Eton but has the same level of self-confidence you get from an Eton education."
Mr Mitchell became firm friends with Mr Davis when they both worked in the bruising battleground of the Tory whips' office in the 1990s, pushing through the Maastricht treaty.
There is something of an irony that the man who enforced the integrationist treaty - which pushed many Tories into outright opposition to Brussels - is now leading the UK out of the EU.
Lord Howard, believed to be one of three Eurosceptic cabinet ministers at the time of the Maastricht battle dubbed "bastards" by Sir John Major, sees no contradiction.
"I suppose you could say we've all been on a journey," he told Newsnight.
"Maastricht was a long time ago. The EU has become much more integrationist since then, and the flaws in the project more apparent."
Mr Davis had a mixed career after the Tories lost power in 1997.
He loved hounding civil servants as chairman of the Commons Public Accounts Committee between 1997 and 2001.
He put down a marker when he emerged as the dark horse candidate in the 2001 Tory leadership contest, making him the favourite in 2005 until he was upstaged by David Cameron during the party conference.
The boy from the south London council estate and the Etonian never hit it off.
Mr Cameron regarded Mr Davis as vain and self-aggrandising when he triggered a by-election over civil liberties, which he won, in 2008.
This paved the way for nearly a decade on the backbenches as a serial rebel, where he repeatedly clashed with Mrs May over civil liberties.
Then, last summer, in his late 60s, he was finally asked to join the cabinet, by Mrs May, as one of three Brexiteers.
And Mr Davis, unlike Liam Fox and Boris Johnson, who are seen as sources of trouble, has won the trust of the prime minister.
No 10 sources say Mr Davis has come into his own on Brexit, and is even turning into something of an elder statesman.
Just down the street, in his office at No 9, Mr Davis puts his success down to two factors: silence and what he calls proximity.
He has avoided talking out of line and has made a point of squatting in the building next to No 10 to ensure he can easily wander up the street if problems arise.
Mr Davis, who will celebrate his 70th birthday a few months before the Article 50 negotiations are due to end, in March 2019, says he has one shot at making a success of Brexit, which he is determined to achieve.
He hopes to retire a happy man at that point, although he appears not to have ruled out another challenge.
Mr Mitchell told Newsnight: "I don't know if this is last hurrah or not. The extraordinary thing about politics [is you] never know what's round the corner."
A man who can saunter along the ramparts of a medieval castle is no doubt capable of springing surprises.


The Borders Book Festival line-up has been announced, promising some of the "biggest names in books, entertainment and public life".

The 13th edition takes place at the Harmony Gardens in Melrose.
More than 100 events for people of all ages will be held over the weekend of 16 to 19 June.
Thriller author Frederick Forsyth, musician Mike Rutherford, food critic Jay Rayner and comedians Phill Jupitus and Sara Pascoe are all taking part.
Former Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg will join fellow politicians Gordon Brown, Jim Sillars and Michael Forsyth in a series of political debates.
Further highlights include chef Albert Roux, Rab C Nesbitt actor and comedian Gregor Fisher, Scottish historian Tom Devine, best-selling author and raconteur Gervase Phinn and Top Gear script writer Richard Porter.
Some of our greatest writers, communicators and entertainers will appear onstage to delight the audiences for four magical days within the walls of the beautiful Harmony Gardens.
Children's authors Cressida Cowell and Michael Morpurgo have also been lined up.
As well as a series of talks and events, the winner of this year's Â£25,000 Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction will also be announced as part of the festival.
Alistair Moffat, festival director, said: "Some of our greatest writers, communicators and entertainers will appear onstage to delight the audiences for four magical days within the walls of the beautiful Harmony Gardens.
"We look forward to a wonderful weekend of entertainment and political debate as we welcome our authors, sponsors and supporters, and most of all our audience for what will be a truly memorable festival."
David Watt, Arts & Business Scotland's chief executive, said he was also looking forward to the weekend.
"The Brewin Dolphin Borders Book Festival is a fantastic literary event and a wonderful addition to Scotland's festival portfolio, which is highly regarded all over the world," he said.
"Arts & Business Scotland is delighted  to be able to support this through the New Arts Sponsorship Grants programme and we wish the organisers every success with their 13th festival."


Frank Field, one of the few Labour MPs supporting Vote Leave, was talking on Tuesday about how traditional Labour voters have been the ones hit by immigration from the European Union.

The Claim: Leaving the European Union would lead to an increase in wages, especially for low-skilled or semi-skilled workers.
Reality Check verdict: It is possible that curbs on immigration would increase wages a little, but that effect is likely to be dwarfed by what happens to the economy as a whole.
"They are the ones that have actually suffered with the pressure of their wages declining," he said.
There was a paper from the Bank of England last year that investigated the question of whether immigration reduced wages.
It found that the area in which there had been the greatest effect on wages had been for semi-skilled and unskilled workers in the services sector, where a 10 percentage point increase in the proportion of immigrants working in the sector would be associated with a 1.88% reduction in pay.
A 10 percentage point increase in immigrants working in a sector is a lot. The latest labour market figures from the Office for National Statistics estimated that between 1997 and 2015, the proportion of non-UK nationals working in the UK rose from 3.8% to 10.2%, an increase of 6.4 percentage points over 18 years.
So if immigration in the past led to a small reduction in wages, could we say that leaving the EU would lead to a rise in wages?
Sir Stuart Rose, the former Marks and Spencer boss who heads Britain Stronger in Europe, was asked by a parliamentary committee whether ending free movement would lead to a rise in the wages of unskilled workers and said: "If you are short of labour, the price of labour will go up."
His economic theory here is correct, but it assumes that all other factors remain equal.
Last week's Treasury analysis predicted that leaving the EU would lead to higher unemployment (partly due to productivity effects) than would be the case if we stayed in. Higher unemployment tends to reduce wages.
Another thing that affects wages is the overall strength of the economy. The size of impact on economic growth that has been predicted in recent weeks would be likely to dwarf the immigration effect.

BBC London has tracked down the controversial water cannon the mayor apparently did not want the public to see.

It followed a tip-off to a precise location by the Thames estuary near Gravesend, behind some hoardings in a Met Police training facility.
We managed to film two of the canon from above using a drone camera.
The three second-hand cannon were paid for by the public but have never been put on public view.
They arrived from Germany more than 18 months ago but there was no public unveiling by the mayor's office and the Met, and no media access.
Opposition members of the London Assembly say they have been denied access to them too. The fate and whereabouts of the third cannon is not known.
A spokesman from the mayor's office said: "We have always been clear in public that we do not plan to comment on the location of the water cannon."
The spokesman went on to say a photo of Stephen Greenhalgh, the deputy mayor for policing and crime, was tweeted by him in July standing next to one of the cannon.
The Met also refused to comment on the location of the water cannon.
Boris Johnson authorised their purchase for the Met two years ago to be used in the event of a serious public order outbreak, but in 2015 the home secretary banned their use because of the risk of injuring anyone they were used against.
The cannon have been refurbished and repainted in Met Police colours and the total bill - including purchase price, refits, maintenance and officer training - comes to Â£330,000.
Green Party London Assembly member Jenny Jones said London would be better off getting shot of the cannon as soon as possible.
"It's fascinating to finally find these machines because the Met and the mayor wanted them to be a complete secret," she told me.
Previously, whenever she asked about their location, she was informed the mayor's office was not prepared to tell her.
"To me these machines have been a complete waste of money and the whole secrecy has also been pointless.
"It's time the mayor accepted that they are absolutely useless for Britain," she continued.
At the time of the home secretary's decision, Mr Johnson said the Met would continue to use the cannon to train on.
A Met spokesman said officers occasionally travelled to Northern Ireland to support colleagues where they may be required to deploy alongside water cannon, where they were permitted for use.
He said in the event of future public disorder in England the police was free to apply again to the home secretary to seek permission for a licence to use the cannon.
A spokesman for the mayor said: "We have always been clear that the water cannons are being used for training and therefore are being maintained.
"Following the riots of 2011, the commissioner made it clear that water cannon is a tactic he would want at his disposal in the event of a future emergency. This was a view supported by the prime minister, the mayor, the deputy mayor, and 68% of Londoners in independent polling."


Matt Critchley struck his second first-class century to help Derbyshire reach 332-9 on day one against Durham.

The 20-year-old's 102, which came in 148 balls and contained 18 fours, helped the hosts recover from 139-4.
Wayne Madsen (54) and Billy Godleman (79 not out) provided support as Durham seamers Matty Potts (3-65) and Barry McCarthy (3-87) chipped away.
But Godleman put on an unbeaten 66 with last man Gurjit Sandhu (36 not out) to frustrate Durham and make it to stumps.
Having won the toss and elected to bat, Derbyshire lost early wickets, with Luis Reece, Ben Slater and Alex Hughes all falling to leave them 74-3.
Critchley and Godleman then put on 99 for the fifth wicket before the Derbyshire skipper and Sandhu held up Durham's charge of five wickets for 28 runs with a valuable 18.4-over partnership which sees Sandhu begin day two on a first-class top score.


Dave King has bought a near 15% stake in Rangers International Football Club by purchasing the shares held by Artemis and Miton.

The South African-based businessman made the purchase after his funding offer was rejected by the board.
King had previously wanted his funds to go directly to the club.
But the former Rangers director had to alter his strategy following the board's decision to take a loan from Newcastle United's Mike Ashley instead.
The shares were purchased from the institutional investors by New Oasis Investments Ltd, a company wholly owned by King's family trust.
Its transaction was completed two days after a group of three businessmen - George Letham, Douglas Park and George Taylor - purchased the 16% of shares held by Laxey Partners, which was the single largest shareholder.
However, BBC Scotland has learned that the move has prompted one large shareholder to lodge complaints with the takeover panel and the Financial Conduct Authority.
Those bodies have yet to respond, but the shareholder believes King is working in concert with the Park consortium in a bid to seize control.
Takeover panel rules dictate that, if a consortium crosses the 29.9% threshold, it must make an offer to buy the rest of the company.
Both parties together hold more than 34%, but King and Park are adamant they are separate groups.
Rangers Football Club chairman Sandy Easdale holds a little over 5% and has proxies for a further 21%, while Newcastle and Sports Direct owner Ashley has 8.92%.
When RIFC needed funding in October, the board accepted a £3m loan from Ashley - providing him with two board placements - which is to be paid back by April, despite a £16m offer of funding from a consortium including King and a £3m loan offer from Sale Sharks owner Brian Kennedy.
King said: "I would like to specifically record my disappointment that, if I hadn't been blocked by the present board in favour of a lesser and commercially disadvantageous offer by Mr Ashley, the money could have gone into the club and not into the pockets of exiting shareholders."
The former Rangers director had no further comment to make on the transaction, which was announced by the RIFC board in a release to the Stock Exchange.
Since Rangers accepted Ashley's loan, his long-time associate, Derek Llambias, has become Rangers' chief executive, while Sports Direct executive Barry Leach has been widely tipped for a role as finance director.
Letham, Park and Taylor, who recently offered to invest £6.5m into the club, bought 13 million shares at 20p each from Laxey, which revealed it made the £2.7m deal in a bid to stop Ashley taking control.
The Englishman had his plan to increase his stake to just under 30% rejected by the Scottish Football Association because of his dual interest in the two football clubs.
Rangers recently revealed they need £8m of new funding to stay afloat in 2015.
They have sold prize asset Lewis Macleod this week, with cash from the sale of the midfielder being used as immediate funding.
Meanwhile, manager Ally McCoist was put on gardening leave with the club unable to afford a pay-off after he tendered his resignation.


Three people have been killed and nine injured in an accident between five cars in Cornwall.

A woman and child from one car were fatally injured and pronounced dead at the crash site on the A38 between Tideford and Landrake.
A male pedestrian also sustained serious injuries and died at the scene.
The air ambulance took a child with serious head injuries to Bristol Children's Hospital. Their condition is not thought to be life-threatening.
Six further people were taken to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth with minor injuries. Two others were treated at the scene by paramedics.
Devon and Cornwall Police closed the A38 in both directions at Trerulefoot and St Germans following the crash at 11:15 BST and it stayed shut for several hours.


The closure of several minor injury units (MIU) in Worcestershire has increased "chaos" at Accident and Emergency departments, a nurse claims.

MIUs in Bromsgrove, Tenbury and Evesham have been shut since Saturday so staff can help meet demand at the Alexandra and Worcestershire Royal hospitals.
But a nurse, who did not want to be named, said the "problem was a bed shortage" so the move had not helped.
The hospital trust said the high demand was "not caused by one single issue".
Meanwhile, Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust, which runs five MIUs, said staff were supporting colleagues in A&E "which remain extremely busy".
However, the nurse said the Worcester and Redditch A&Es were still severely under pressure, with some patients waiting in corridors.
"No one is happy with it. The problem is a bed shortage so it is not making an iota of difference," she said.
"This is leading to more patients walking into A&E. More pressure but less care for patients," she said.
She added the A&Es were dealing with "all kinds of injuries", including broken bones from falls in icy conditions.
The nurse feared for patients having to travel much further afield after finding MIUs closed.
"If an elderly person has paid Â£12 in a taxi and travelled in pain only to find a unit is shut - that's horrific," she said.
Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust said the decision was "strategic and managed".
"To help reduce pressures and length of wait in A&E we pulled minor injuries unit staff in to A&E to provide extra cover and better use their skills as MIUs were experiencing very low demand," a spokesman said.
He said beds' availability was among issues increasing demand, adding the focus continued to be on "safe emergency care to those who need it."


Madonna and ex-husband Guy Ritchie have settled a court dispute over the custody of their 16-year-old son Rocco.

A spokesman for the New York State court system said the pair had reached an agreement, but did not reveal with which parent the teenager would live.
Ritchie's lawyer Peter Bronstein said Rocco would continue to live with his father in London.
The dispute arose in December when Rocco ignored a court order to fly back to live with his mother in New York.
He has since stayed with his father in the UK capital and enrolled in a school there.
Madonna's lawyers have not commented on the settlement.
In December, a judge ruled that Rocco should return to his mother. But she decided not to issue a warrant to enforce the order, urging the pair to reach an agreement.
New York State Supreme Court Justice Deborah Kaplan said: "No-one is disrupting his household other than the inability of the parents to reach a resolution.
"If they cannot resolve this matter then eventually the court will."
Ellen Sigal, Rocco's court-appointed lawyer, said in March that the dispute was causing him stress.
"It's been a very difficult time for him," she said in court. "We hope to put an end to this as soon as possible without exposing him to more litigation, press innuendo, any of that kind of thing."
Madonna and Ritchie married in 2000 and divorced eight years later.

Northern Ireland's controversial Welfare Reform Bill has failed to pass at Stormont.

The nationalist Sinn Féin and SDLP made a petition of concern, a blocking mechanism that meant it did not get the required cross-community support.
Alliance Party leader David Ford said it meant the Stormont institutions were "in a very dangerous position".
The DUP now wants the government to take back welfare powers, but Sinn Féin said such a move would be unacceptable.
Mr Ford said it's not clear what will happen next.
"Within the next couple of weeks we have to resolve the budget issue, not just the June monitoring round - the reallocation between departments in year - but actually to pass the bill to allow departments to spend money in the second half of the financial year," he said.
"So that's a measure of the crisis we're in, that has to be resolved and it's unclear at this stage how that will be resolved."
A majority of 58 assembly members voted in favour and 39 voted against the bill to make changes to benefits that have been introduced in the rest of the UK.
There were several mitigation schemes in the bill that would have lessened its impact.
But Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness of Sinn Féin said: "This is a time when the (Stormont) executive parties need to stand together to defend our public services, particularly in terms of health, education and welfare."
Green Party leader Steven Agnew also signed the petition.
During the assembly debate, Finance Minister Arlene Foster warned that if the bill failed to pass, "£604m of cuts would have to be made to vital, frontline public services, the services that the most vulnerable in our community need and rely upon".
The debate went ahead despite Northern Ireland First Minister Peter Robinson's admission to hospital with a suspected heart attack on Monday.
DUP sources say the 66-year-old party leader is making good progress and has been given a full briefing on Tuesday's events at Stormont.
Last week, Mr Robinson said the assembly could not survive the scenario that would unfold if the welfare reform bill was not approved.
However, Sinn Féin accused the DUP of scaremongering with its budget forecasts.
The Northern Ireland parties had agreed a deal on Westminster's welfare reform measures in the Stormont House Agreement last December.
However, Sinn Féin withdrew its support in March.
The measure was designed as a way to safeguard minority rights in Stormont's power-sharing assembly.
If a petition of concern is presented to the assembly speaker, any motion or amendment will need cross-community support.
In such cases, a vote on proposed legislation will only pass if supported by a weighted majority (60%) of members voting, including at least 40% of each of the nationalist and unionist designations present and voting.
Effectively this means that, provided enough MLAs from a particular community agree, that community can exercise a veto over the assembly's decisions.


Staff at Legal & General's offices in Surrey have voted to take industrial action in a dispute over plans to close the site.

The union Unite said two-thirds of its members at the Kingswood office near Tadworth backed action short of a strike, such as working to rule.
Unite claimed about 1,500 jobs were at risk but Legal & General said most jobs were being moved to Hove and Cardiff.
The company said customers would not be affected by the outcome of the ballot.
Unite's regional officer Ian Methven said the union wanted the firm to explore all options to keep the base open.
He said the company relied on staff "going the extra mile" but their goodwill could not be taken for granted.
A Legal & General spokesman said union members were offered two options in the ballot - to strike or to take lesser action - and they voted not to strike.
"The ballot has given them the option to work to rule, should Unite decide to take this option, which they haven't yet," he added.
He said the site has more than 1,500 employees of which about 600 are Unite members.
Under the plans, the base could close in 2018.


The rights gay people should have is a big issue around the world, particularly in Africa.

9 August 2015 Last updated at 15:43 BST
It's against the law to be openly gay in the African country Uganda, and in many other African countries, but there have been some changes recently.
In Uganda, until last year, gay people could be sentenced to life in jail.
Now that can't happen any more and a rally has taken place there to promote more equality.
But many people there still hold traditional beliefs and some African leaders have said it is not part of their culture.
Ricky has more.


A flight from Glasgow Airport to Lanzarote was diverted to Faro, Portugal, after two passengers became "disruptive".

Ryanair flight FR3532, which left Glasgow at 13:23 on Tuesday, landed safely and the pair were removed and detained by local police.
The aircraft then continued its journey to the Canary Islands.
A Ryanair spokesman said it would not tolerate unruly behaviour, and that passenger safety was a priority.


A project to restore all World War One memorials in Powys has been boosted by a £350,000 grant  from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).

Powys County Council's War Memorials Project aims to maintain 276 memorials - including 13 listed buildings.
Communities will be given "toolkits" to allow them to take responsibility for, and maintain, their landmarks.
Jennifer Stewart, head of HLF in Wales, said: "We see this project as a way to uncover the forgotten past."
The toolkits include background information and resources about the World War One as well as guides on how to research your local history and basic guidance on looking after war memorials.


A woman whose two-year-old son was found dead at a flat in Inverness has admitted to neglecting the boy over a five-month period.

Clyde Campbell died in his bed on 23 February 2014. Inverness Sheriff Court heard the cause was cot death.
His mother Amanda Hardie, 30, who now lives in East Kilbride, has pleaded guilty to neglecting him and exposing him to unnecessary suffering.
Sheriff Gordon Fleetwood deferred sentence for a background report.
The court heard that medical enquiries established "no clinical basis" to link the neglect to Clyde's death.
Hardie pleaded guilty to wilfully ill-treating, abandoning, neglecting and exposing the child to unnecessary suffering or injury in her flat in Inverness between 1 October 2013 and 23 February 2014.
The charge went on to say she left him for prolonged periods and in particular during the hours of darkness whilst unattended and without adult supervision.
The court was told that Hardie often left Clyde in the flat when she went out to work at an Inverness nightclub until the early hours, or was seeing her boyfriend.
Fiscal Roderick Urquhart gave details of days leading up to Clyde's death, including the weekend of 15 and 16 February.
He said: "A neighbour states that over that weekend, while the accused was out at work, she passed the accused's flat in the evening and heard Clyde Campbell crying and repeatedly asking for his mum. She knocked on the door, but no-one answered and the crying stopped.
"On 19 February, Hardie found Clyde in the kitchen with a bottle of cleaning fluid, some of which had been spilt on his clothing. She took him to the Accident and Emergency Department of Raigmore Hospital, Inverness, to be checked. There was no indication he had swallowed the cleaning fluid and he was discharged."
Mr Urquhart also told of occasions when Hardie made no arrangements for childcare.
The fiscal said there had been concern about Clyde later in the day of 23 February and neighbours went round to the flat.
He said: "One of them saw that Clyde was lying lifeless in his bed and he contacted the emergency services. He struggled to perform CPR until ambulance staff arrived a short time later and they formally confirmed the child was dead at 15:11.
"Realising that something had happened, another neighbour contacted Hardie via Facebook and told her she had to return home as something was wrong."
Hardie was at her boyfriend's home at the time.
She eventually picked up the message and later told police there was no babysitter looking after Clyde.


Tommy Seymour admits the British and Irish Lions must be willing to suffer if they are to win a series in New Zealand for the first time since 1971.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The wing, 28, is one of three Scots in Warren Gatland's touring party.
And Glasgow Warriors' Seymour insists a varied and accurate game-plan will be required to topple the back-to-back world champions.
"We've got to be willing to go through a lot of pain to beat this side," Seymour said of the All Blacks.
"We've just got to be at our utmost. We've got to make sure we know everything we're trying to do on the field inside and out. Everything's got to be second nature.
"We've got to be willing to be physical with them; we've got to be willing to play as well. We've got to go out there with ambition - there's no point in sitting on our heels and hoping you're going to have a physical confrontation with them.
"You've got to be willing to play and expand and really take the game to them as well. So I think for us it's just about getting as much detail as possible on the field, and once we've got that detail making sure it's second nature."
Only 14 of the 41 players selected by Gatland have reported to the Vale of Glamorgan for the first week of training - the rest remain embroiled in the latter stages of domestic competitions with their respective club sides.
"Guys have done very well at their clubs and are playing in semi-finals and finals, they're rightly where they should be," Seymour said.
"You want everyone together, but we've had a really successful week, we've had enough numbers to be able to accomplish a lot of stuff. We've been able to tick a lot of boxes, and get a lot of things across that will give us a good head start going into the weeks to come.
"We've had a guy in every position as well, so even when it comes down to patterns and things rugby-wise, that's been able to be accomplished as well.
"I think it'll help to get everyone integrated as quickly as possible because there will be guys dotted around the field that can kind of explain what's going on and point everyone in the right direction. It'll help the coaches as well to get everyone embedded as quickly as possible."
Seymour has been joined by compatriots Stuart Hogg and Greig Laidlaw, who was a pre-tour replacement for England's Ben Youngs.
Some Scottish pundits, including former coach Jim Telfer, have aired their grievances at the paucity of Scots in the squad, but American-born Seymour insists he is focusing solely on forging strong bonds with his new team-mates.
"That question's been asked a lot, but I'm in my Lions head now," Seymour added. "I need to get familiar and bed into relationships with guys here. That's my focus right now, it's not about what's not here.
"I feel like you guys [in the media] want me to have an answer to the Scottish thing. You don't enter the meeting room or the team room and think, there's a Scotsman, there's an Englishman, there's an Irishman, there's a Welshman.
"It can't work like that. If you go in with that mind-set, then you're already on the back foot, you're already creating lines where there doesn't need to be any. We go into the meeting room and we think, 'there's another squad member, another part of this playing group'."


England seam bowler Reece Topley will see a specialist after fracturing his right hand during his Hampshire debut.

The 22-year-old, who moved to the south coast county from Essex during the winter, sustained the injury while batting against Warwickshire on Sunday.
"I was hit on the back of the hand and an X-ray this morning has revealed at least one fracture," he said.
Topley scored a first-class career best of 15 before he was dismissed by fellow England bowler Chris Woakes.
"There's one fracture there just below the knuckles and possibly another," Topley added.
"I'm going to see a specialist later. It's frustrating it came while batting, but that's one of the risks when you play cricket."
Hampshire director of cricket Giles White said the full extent of Topley's injury will not be known until Tuesday.
"It's disappointing for Reece and everyone here at Hampshire," he told BBC Radio Solent.
"To lose him at such an early part of the season without seeing a ball in his hand is exceptionally disappointing, but that is the nature of the game."
White confirmed Topley is unlikely to bowl in the game against Warwickshire at The Ageas Bowl, which saw no play on Monday because of rain.
He will also miss next week's County Championship fixture against Yorkshire at Headingley.


New buildings should be made seagull proof to control a growing number of the scavenging birds, an MP has said.

Conservative MP Oliver Colvile led a debate in Parliament on the problem, admitting he was prompted by a friend who had his chips stolen by a gull.
Anti-seagull measures taken in the past include spikes on seafronts and even hawks to scare them off.
As well as stealing food, seagulls have also been blamed for killing a dog and a tortoise.
Mr Colvile, MP for Plymouth Sutton and Devonport, said: "We've got to make sure that when we build new buildings that we make it possible for seagulls to be discouraged from putting their nests in and all of that."
More on calls for seagull-proof buildings, and other news
But speaking ahead of the debate, Peter Rock, a researcher at the University of Bristol who has been studying the protected birds for more than 30 years, said new buildings were "only a tiny scrap" of options for seagulls to nest in.
Colonies of urban seagulls had more than doubled since 2000 and "pest control systems really don't work", he said.
Steve Double, the St Austell and Newquay Conservative MP, also spoke at the debate and said a cull of seagulls may be needed to protect coastal communities from attacks.
He also spoke about taking eggs from the seagulls, and said a national study of the birds was needed.


Threats to the safety of savings, and the search for good returns at times of low interest rates, have been a concern for savers.

An array of information is available through the BBC News website and various organisations offer help.
The rescue of Northern Rock and the subsequent banking crisis brought the safety of savings into sharp focus.
Savings up to £85,000 per person, per authorised institution, are now guaranteed, should any regulated bank, building society or credit union go bust. The situation can be complicated, so we've produced a guide to how savings are covered.
The Financial Services Authority(FSA) publishes the current list of the authorised institutions and which brands they own.
A couple with a joint account is covered per person.
So each person in a couple would have £85,000 covered in the account - so up to £170,000 in total would be protected.
Schemes in the EU have to offer similar compensation, including a scheme in the Irish Republic, which we've explained in a seperate piece.
The UK compensation arrangements are run by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. It has a guide to how to claim on its website.
