I don't play much myself, but my parents are super into Golf. Your not alone in the way you feel, my dad's been playing for 50 years and he has the same mixed feelings about it. Apparently the trick is to never buy a club, as you always play so much better with the demo clubs than you when you've paid for them. Have you tried Canadian Greensomes yet? The rules are (and I swear this is a real thing). You start a 2-ball, both players tee off, then take each-other's second shot (so player A is hitting player B's tee shot). Once that's been done, you choose which of the two balls in play you continue the hole with (played as a 2-some - both taking shots on the same ball in turn) until the the hole is completed. Alternate rule variation is that the best tee shot is chosen and both players take their second shot from that location, then choose which ball to play forward. Or my favorite, the Gruesome Greensomes variant, where your opponent gets to choose which of the balls in play gets played forward (generally only played once per club because afterward everyone hates everyone else).

This is one that really irks me. Staff don't have to wear masks/face coverings in shops, just customers. According to the govt: The second one is interesting as it potentially allows people with severe arthritis in the hands/fingers off. Something I hadn't thought of before. Although, as you say, this should still be a tiny group of people. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/face-coverings-when-to-wear-one-and-how-to-make-your-own/face-coverings-when-to-wear-one-and-how-to-make-your-own

People are doing what's required and nothing more. I think this type of response is what to expect going forward, as the attitude becomes less of a we're in this together and more of a we'll do what the govt asks in the hopes of getting this over with (or maybe I'm just being super cynical). For my own part, I find the mask pretty uncomfortable and irritating to wear for any real length of time (especially while the weather's on the warmer/muggier side) and it's easy enough to take it off once I'm clear of the front of the shop and then stick it in a pocket until I reach the next one. It's not like I'm pulling the thing off as I walk out the door or anything like that. Also some people might not be going into shops, they might be going to restaurants/bars, open air markets, they might have finished their shopping and just going back to the car. (Maybe they wore their masks while they were going into and out of shops, but now they don't plan to go into another shop they've taken it off)

Coronavirus: Pubs 'may need to shut' to allow schools to reopen (BBC) I wonder how much the idea of closing down other sectors so schools can reopen will erode public support for "getting all students back in September". However this plays out, there's going to be lots of grumpy people. I wouldn't want to be the one having to make these decisions.

Have you tried the solution here? https://community.prometheanworld.com/forums/topic/silently-install-activinspire/

This autoit script shold do what you want. You'd just need to compile it into an executable and set it to run a logon. #include #include $G_Height = 50 $G_Width = 230 $B_Height = $G_Height - 10 $B_Width = $G_Width - 10 $WidthFromRight = $G_Width $HeightFromBottom = $G_Height + 41 ; 41 is the height of the Windows 10 taskabr $XPos = @deskTopWidth - $WidthFromRight $YPos = @deskTopHeight - $HeightFromBottom GUICreate('',$G_Width,$G_Height,$XPos,$YPos,$WS_POPUP,$WS_EX_TOPMOST) $RUN = GUICtrlCreateButton("Log Off", 5, 5, $B_Width, $B_Height,$BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON) GUISetState() While 1 $array_msg = GUIGetMsg(1) Switch $array_msg[0] Case $RUN run ("shutdown /l") EndSwitch WEnd

As long as there's a space out the front of the store where people can wait (maybe in the order they arrived) while they're in the virtual queue, I think it could work. But realistically, (especially as someone who really just "pops in for a couple of bits") I see it as being way too much of a faff and I think it will kill the walk-in trade. You also have to wonder how many people will wind up missing their slots or giving up and going home/elsewhere without cancelling their slot.

Salvation was cancelled after season 2. While would have I loved to have seen where it went next, the season 2 finally did feel like a suitable ending. Have you tried Bulletproof? (Just finished season 2 and that was good fun.

I've seen shows do split seasons before, with each half having it's own resolution (although Teen wolf is the only example I can think of right now). Most of the CW DC shows wrapped their main story arks before 'Crisis' and then started new arks for the back half. The longer US shows always used to have a mid-season mini-climax before they broke for Christmas. I really don't see formatting more like that would be a problem or necessarily lead to a abundance of filler.

I've zipped it so the image should stay at full resolution now. It should all be legible apart from where I've "blurred" email addresses (or parts of email addresses).hliday flow01.zip

Attached is the flow we've got for "full time support staff with bookable annual leave" the one we use for staff absence, training, TOIL, etc is super massive and complicated, so not the essayist thing in the world to display. A lot of the top half is data validation from the form (we ask them to put their manager's email address in on the form (as no one could give me a list of who managed who), and you'd be surprised what some people put in. On the other one, we have to check they haven't said they're their own manager - it's mostly the department heads who just assume "manager" means them. Then the request goes through Manager and SLT approval before being written to the shared calendar. One odd gotcha - if you create an all day event, the end date has to be the day after the last date of the event (so if the last day of the booked leave is 02/07/2020 then you'd need to put 03/07/2020 in as the end date).

Only watched the first 2 episodes so far, but I'd say it's pretty good. There is some angst - Nimue is portrayed as a slightly rebellions youngster (at least in the early episodes), but I didn't think it distracted from a pretty interesting fantasy story. To me, it feels almost half way between CWs The Outpost and Sky's Britannia.

We've got an MS Form and manager approval Flow (or Power Automate now) for requesting absence/holiday, which writes approved holidays to a 365 calendar that HR and the cover manager have access to. We're looking at using that to generate an automatic "who's off today" email (normally manually done by HR or the cover manager). We used to have a paper system where the form went to HR and was never seen again with the super annoying "you'll only hear back if it's rejected" policy. Within the ICT team, we have our own shared calendar to track who's on holiday when. And personally, I've got a little spreadsheet that keeps track of how many annual leave days I have left.

If it's one or the other I say go for "with shortcuts", IMHO it's easier to delete an unwanted shortcut than to create one.

I've not been following the gov data, but I occasionally check https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html, which also looks like we could be at the start of an up-tick in daily cases. Hopefully it's a blip and wont come to anything.

What does the NDA need to cover that isn't already part of your AUP?

No, regular LA funded school. We've got a good Business Manger though. When I started the tech positions were part time (I think it was 3 days each, so a little over 1 FT between them), but then we had a series of reshuffles and wound up with both techs going full time.

We're a secondary with 1500(ish) students and about 200 staff. We've got, around 650 Windows devices (desktops + 90ish laptops), about 150 apple devices (desktop iMacs + 50ish ipads), and about 50 servers (45 virtual - I know, we need to rationalize them) Plus all the other Phone/CCTV stuff. Staff wise, we'd normally* have: Network Manager Assistant Network Manager/Senior Technician x2 Regular techs (All full time) *We're in the middle of recruiting a new ANM.

We still use BGInfo for desktop backgrounds. It would probably work really well for something like this, Text on a coloured background would be super simple and incorporating the school logo shouldn't be that hard.

I thought it was 6'6"

does it say what the data allowance is anywhere?

Dose this apply to the DFE laptops for Year 10 students or the social worker requested ones, or both? (I was told this about the social worker ones, but thought the ones for year 10s were supposed to belong to the school).

I think its that there's 3 different branches (I might be wrong on this, it's just based on what I've seen at work and here/ANME). 1: Laptops requested by care workers - bought/owned by the council. Schools don't have any access to change. 2: Laptops ordered by academies - bought/owned by the academy. Not sure about this but they might be vanilla, and if not they can get admin passwords direct from the supplier. (Not an academy so less sure about this) 3: Laptops ordered by the LA for maintained schools - bought by the LA and passed along to schools (schools technically own them - I think) but because the LA bought them admin password requests have to come from the right person at the LA. There may be more options that I'm not aware of.

We moved from Cunninghams to Biostore/Fastrack 5-6 years back. We still get fairly regular problems (maybe once a term) with funds on syncing up or FSM/lunch duty credit not being applied correctly. And there's that one till that no-one knows the admin passwords for, because whoever set it up didn't use the right admin password and now doesn't work for Biostore anymore. We've not been super impressed with their support responsiveness either. Business manager is seriously looking at going back to Cunninghams.

When we looked at this last year the Teams calling plan came out about the same (per user) as a VOIP hosted solution.
