There's no quick or easy answer as it depends on your style and what you shoot. Each of the lenses you have listed have different strengths and weaknesses, some things they'll excel at and some they'll be useless for. If I owned what you listed above I'd probably carry the 35mm-70mm range (on camera) as this is a good focal range for daily shooting and the 55-250mm in a bag as it's good for the times you need longer zoom/reach. Again, what you're shooting will have a huge impact on what you should carry, if you're wildlife, a 35-70mm lens is almost useless, if you're shooting in confined spaces then a 55-250mm isn't suitable at all. I'd recommend spending time with each lens, maybe a few weeks using each one exclusively and learn what they're good at and what they aren't suited to. Once you've done this you'll know which to throw into your bag and which to leave at home. This would also be a good process for determining which macro lens is best, their stats on paper don't always tell a full story, it's the results you get with them which matters most.

Re: the bold... I think this hits the nail on the head, you're being asked to solve a problem that shouldn't exist. Nearly all admin job specs state 'Strong IT skills' as a required skill, if this hasn't been confirmed as a part of the recruitment process then it needs changing to make sure it catches this, otherwise and in the meantime ECDL is a good solution. All of our admin job candidates sit a basic practical IT task as a part of the interview process.

Hi all We're seeing odd Youtube behaviour and i cant find the problem Using ie11 and win7 32bit. Youtube videos do not play at all, they try to load and the cog/icon goes round and round forever. This is html5 player. The weird thing is that if i reset ie11 settings to default then the videos play through the html5 until a logoff or restart. This suggest that a gpo is causing the problems but i dont know what could be? Does anyone know where to look first before i go through the horrible process of changing a setting at a time in gpo!

Be careful with freemake, I found it spams users with lots of adverts and had to remove it.

I'd suggest the school seek legal advise through their normal channels, whilst you continue to push the issue further up the chain at BT, if you've got nowhere within a few weeks at least you'll have some solid legal advice and the school will know how to proceed.

Useful for the future though! Even if only for the legal cover they offer, it only takes one false accusation from a student and everything can turn to #### pretty quickly! I feel better knowing that I've got the backup of legal support and experience if a situation like that was to arise.

I've always been in Unison, there are other choices but I've no experience of them. It is worth contacting the other local NMs and see who they're with, there can be regional variation so who is best where I am might not be best for you.

If this was me, I'd be politely explaining that I won't be doing so for the reasons already mentioned. There's no reasonable reason to do so, if he has management issues with her, he needs to find a way of resolving that without a negative impact on your job. Are you in a union? I might be worth seeking their thoughts on this.
