Hello. I turn 19 soon and have no driving experience. My dad, who has been driving for about twice my lifetime (in a different country), wants me to learn driving. All good, I want to learn too. However we differ on the way in which I should learn. He thinks I should purchase a car and augment personal practice with lessons from an instructor. This is because this is what he's , and according to him, a lot of people at his place of work have done the same. However I don't agree with him fully. I (and mum) think that I should start paying for an instructor initially, and then once I'm more confident and have more experience driving (and I know what I like to drive), then I should make the car purchase.

I can tell he is very unhappy with this stance, as he thinks I will be wasting money. He believes that any savings gained from not paying an insurance premium and fuel and tax will be eaten up by an instructor, and from my perspective it looks like he doesn't want to accept my compromise, but is reluctantly doing so. Initially I wanted no car purchase until I passed my test, but upon hearing his reasoning I revised my reasoning to current one I have, which is letme do some lessons and then I'll buy one to practice. I have about £2k in savings and want to save up a bit more for a decent shitbox, and don't want to ask parents for money as they're putting older brother through university (on international student fees).

What do you think?

I currently have a small living room computer I am using as a streaming box and to play older/indie games (like Pro Evolution Soccer 2021 with mods, Mortal Kombat XL). Since my TV does upscaling internally I run games at 1080p and it looks rly good. However I'm looking to play more modern games like MK 11. My current rig is an HP Prodesk G3 600 SFF with an i5 7500 and an NVIDIA Quadro P620 and 16gb of DDR4. Built the whole thing for under £100. Due to size and power constraints I need a GPU that can run purely off the 70w of slot power, and is single slot as well. I can't use SATA cables for power as I'm using them for a Sata SSD.

What GPU can I buy that won't leave me better off building a new computer? I have a budget of £120 MAX, and am not opposed to buying used (whole PC is used stuff). I live in the UK. Please help. Thanks.

Edit: I forgot to mention tho that I also wanna use it to run a karaoke app called nightingale that uses some Al models for stem separation.

I bring to you the final day of the second season of my Hull city save. I began the save in the championship and made the playoffs on the final day, beating Wrexham in the final with an almost stock Hull city team (save for signing Ryan Giles and Pablo Sarabia).

Going up into the Prem I made some signings like Jarrad Branthwaith loan with and option to buy from a relegated Everton, and a Liam Delap return as he was getting no minutes at Chelsea behind Joao Pedro. Safe to say Delap was more useless than a 70 rated Ollie McBurnie, and I regretted selling Joe Gelhardt to sign him.

The Prem Season began alright, taking points against teams like City and Arsenal, but everything fell apart when we lost to league leaders Chelsea. Our form fell off a cliff and we went from 6th to mid table, barely hanging on to 11th. Another loss to Fulham saw us drop all the way down to 17th, as there was a hugh numner of teams on similar points. From then on, we were mired in a relegation dogfight.

On the Final day of the season, I thought we needed a result against Sunderland to secure safety, as we were 19th and Sunderland were 18th. Fulham is one point ahead but is playing a considerably stronger Newcastle team, so I had hope.

20 minutes into the game we go 1 - 0 down from a low driven cross and I am resigned to relegation. Try as we might nothing was working. Delap was being bullied by Sunderland's center backs and he wasn't getting onto any balls forward. Our midfielders were making horrible passes left and right. Igor Pandur our goalkeeper made save after save to keep us from going further down, but without any goals from a forward line that had dissapointed all season, there was no hope of staying safe. We needed to win.

In the 60th minute I throw everything forward. Changing the formation from a 4 3 3 to a 4 1 5 with the mentality on ultra attacking. We go long ball. I try everything. I even bring on Marc Guiu, who I signed in the same window as Delap. Nothing is working. 90th minute, we have a chance. Ball goes out wide, and Mo Belloumi delivers a floated cross to the penalty spot, and the keeper misreads it. Jarrad Branthwaith makes contact and it goes into the net. 1 - 1. we still need one more goal. We try to win the ball from kickoff but the ref bows for full time.

I am devastated, and already planning out the relegation fire sale. I am gong to lose 3/4 of my backline, my young Egyptian midfielder, 4 forwards and many more. I click onto the table page and I get a pleasant shock:

BOTH FULHAM AND LEICESTER LOSE AND GO DOWN. THE DRAW SAVES US AND SOUTHAMPTON. ON GOAL DIFFERENCE!!!!!!

also Ronaldo plays for Marseille for some reason.

The Patch is the Hano4u Mini Patch with the updates. Well worth it if you can afford to tip the man for ad free access, but if not slogging through ads for this is a nice trade off.

Ill try to take more screenshots of the next season if anything remarkable happens.

Hello,

Im an 18 year old teaching assistant who has been in the job since October of last year. I got the job before I finished my A levels as I couldn't afford to go to university, but I really want to become a teacher. I'm looking to move back in with my parents to save money for an Open Uni degree, and I have a job interview for a school in the area, but I have no idea on how to prep.

I won't share the name of the school, but here's the best description I can come up with. It's an ALN school in Wales that's part of a larger "federation of schools".

The interview comprises of 3 parts,

1. An Oral interview

2. A written interview

3. A 15 minute phonics lesson with KS4/5 students working at Progression Level 1.

Since I currently work in England, I have little idea what the "progression levels" mean, but through a bit of research I surmised that it's a framework of assessment that's independent of the age of the student and only takes into account current ability.

Any help would be lovely, but specifically for the phonics lesson part. My current job is mostly support and I don't really do much lesson planning/teaching.

Thanks in advance.
