![]() ![]() Think of the various game scenarios in various parts of the field that occur in each of these moments of the game (e.g. in possession, just lost possession (defensive transition), out of possession, just won possession (offensive transition), attacking set pieces and defending set pieces). The Game Model breaks down the various moments of the game (4-6 moments. Just one of several examples.Ĭome up with a Game Model which should inherit your own philosophy of how you'd like your team to play the game (style) however, you'll need to be honestly aware of the skill level of your actual players and not the professionals you watch on tv. Then you allow them to play a full scrimmage and see how it worked. Also working against uneven numbers in the attack. The 4 defending players would actually be your 3 forwards and 1 attacking mid to get them accustomed to pressing and winning the ball back in their attacking 3rd. They want to get the ball into the attacking third and would have 2 smaller goals in the wide channels to score on. Shape them how you’d want them during the Goal kick and build it out. You’d have your 4 backline players and 2 holding midfielders. For example you could have a 7v4 game where the 6 field players + GK are building out of the back. Make every training session/drill game like. I’ve done US coaching courses and really picked up a lot of valuable tools. Defensively we fall back to a 4-1-4-1 or a 4-5-1. They know in the attack it essentially looks like a 2-1-2-5. I also run the 4-2-3-1 variant of the 4-3-3. ![]() Like just 1 v 1 slow paced in a small square to work on protection.ĭrill 4 - Dribble as fast as possible for 20-30 yards and then walk back. ![]() Move onĭrill 3 - Maybe something less intense. You then become the passer for the next person, the original passer goes to the line. While that's occuring another group will do Drill 2ĭrill 2 - Receive a pass from 20 yards out, then go through 3-4 cones using both feet then pass back to the original passer who stops it and then gives it back to you. Keep the pace going strong and continue for like 5 minutes before you switch drills. So instead of having 10 people on line waiting their turn, you have 1-2 people waiting. The moment that person lets go of the ball, the next person in line can receive his pass. Then you can pass back or shoot on a small goal that is 20 yards away. Do less talking.ĭrill 1 - Receive a 10 yard pass and work on a one touch direction LEFT or RIGHT around a cone. I really like drills that are simple and allow the practice of it to do all the coaching. I would divide your 11 - 20 kids into groups of 4 - 6 then have them do a circuit. They basically get away from the long waiting times found in most practices and turn everything into small sided games or drills.ĭrills can teach decision making, but you need to make it simple.

![]() ![]() I'm leaving well enough alone until that changes. A cautionary tale windows 11 is still new enough that - from the googling I've done - truly credible tweaking and performance tuning advice is still to come. Set it back to balanced in both places, and now it's lightning fast in every aspect. ![]() Seems using Settings for that doesn't completely carry over to the settings in Control Panel (still says 'balanced' there), and the result is very slow reboots and performance opening any applications. The culprit was a 'performance tweak' I made to change the power plan from Balanced to Best Performance via Settings. Had a brief half day where it was actually running way slower than out of the box I rather expected a clean install to be faster, not slower. After installing all the drivers and other necessary system SW, and all the productivity SW I need, I still now have an additional 25 gigabytes or so of storage space over the pre-installed windows 11 that the system came with. Which was fine, installing it offline was probably faster anyway. It's a known issue windows wants you to finish the install connected, but it doesn't always have the Wi-Fi driver for your specific system, so there are workarounds out there. Thanks! The install went great, though it hung at the 'join a network' screen and I had google a workaround to get past that screen and complete the install offline. It's a 6 core Ryzen CPU, and Santa is bringing me a fast 32 gig RAM upgrade, so it should keep up for a long time. Still made me nervous I'm hoping this new laptop will last me for 6-8 years. Breaking the BIOS is about the worst thing that can happen IMHO.įortunately when I called Dell Support, the tech who answered started a remote screen sharing session and knew his stuff, so it all turned out OK. Trusting a program to do it for me isn't working out: I saw the utility, thought I'd give it a chance, it blew it's chance, now it's history. Going to the manufacturer's website and downloading the latest drivers and other updates manually isn't a big job. Even my home network router downloads and installs new firmware for me without a hitch. I've never had a BIOS install fail or hang until now. I half expect to download one and find it installing shopping toolbars and popup ad generators all over my system. The Macrium page is reassuring so many free partition and backup tool websites look like a digital carnival booth trying to lure in the rubes. But I've saved the install order page you linked to, that will come in very handy indeed! Thank you very much! I still have my old laptop running, so I can use it and "Sneakernet" to get any drivers I need afterwards. I'm wondering if any of you have already done something similar if so, please share anything you think might be useful with me. I will delete all the existing partitions on the disk the Windows 11 Install will completely reformat the disk, create new version of all the needed partitions, and install Windows.

I know the dell stuff is meant to improve reliability, but Support Assist already froze on me in the middle of installing a BIOS update, and that kind of help can completely brick a computer I'd rather just download the individual updates and install them manually. My goal is to have a clean system, without any residual clutter from uninstalling things like MacAfee and the numerous Dell items like Support Assist that came preinstalled. And I've already used the MS Media Creation Tool to make a Windows 11 install disk to make a bootable USB to install win 11 from. I'm first going to use the Dell OS Recovery Tool to make a bootable backup of the factory image that came with my laptop, just in case.

Sometimes it is specified as having exactly two sides of equal length. To construct an isosceles triangle, we need to remember that side 1 side 2, but side 3 is different. The favorite A-level math exam question of the protagonist Christopher in. So, anytime you have a right triangle with congruent legs or congruent angles, then the sides will always be in the ratio x: x: x 2. Step 3 in the above investigation proves the 45-45-90 Triangle Theorem. The other two sides of lengths a and b are called legs, or sometimes catheti. 45-45-90 Corollary: If a triangle is an isosceles right triangle, then its sides are in the extended ratio x: x: x 2. The sides a, b, and c of such a triangle satisfy the Pythagorean theorem a2+b2c2, (1) where the largest side is conventionally denoted c and is called the hypotenuse. In our calculations for a right triangle we only consider 2 known sides to calculate the other 7 unknowns.

You could either use a simple text or a button to direct readers to your landing page. Call to Action (CTA): A good CTA should help boost your click rate and interactions.Image: Choose photos, motion graphics, and illustrations that are directly related to your product or service, and that will help enhance your message.Instead, focus on grabbing a visitor’s attention and piquing their interest by keeping your text brief and to the point.

There are no firm rules about what makes a banner ad effective, and there’s no guarantee that your banner would generate the same amount of attention you expect it to. That being said, let’s have a look at the different types of banner designs. ![]() In recent years, traditional banners are slowly being replaced with digitally designed banners. By definition, a banner is known as “a long piece of cloth bearing a slogan or design, carried in a demonstration or procession or hung in a public place.” Though this has always been an archaic way of putting out banners, this may not particularly apply with today’s modern banner designs. ![]() ![]() ![]() Have spent about 5 hours fiddling with this now but just can’t get a good end result □ Is there a better way of doing what I’m trying to achieve? I just want to use full width images on a page, overlaying text and a button, in a way that preserves the image better (rather than arbitrarily crops) on smaller screens. Is it possible to set some kind of anchor on a background image (targeting specific content bands) so that when the background resizes on smaller screens it retains/crops from either the left or right of the image, rather than the centre?Ģ. Sorry for the long explanation, hopefully you get my drift! Here’s what I need help with:ġ. However, where the subject or focal point of the background image is positioned on the left or the right, they get cropped out on smaller devices. On a smaller screen the images with the subject in the middle still look OK due to the way the background resizes. The images I’m using are all high production value photos with human subjects, and the position of the subjects/people are either on the left, the right, or in the middle of the background image. It seems that as the screen size gets smaller, the size of the background images also reduce and specifically are cropped from the edges inwards. This method works pretty well to get a good effect on a full size/laptop screen, however I’m having a lot of problems making it work on smaller screen sizes. I’m using images sized around 1440 x 900 pixels, then controlling how much of the background shows behind the visual composer elements by adding gaps into the content band, and adding margins to the elements. I’ve then added a featured headline, text box and button over the top of the background image using visual composer. So far I’ve used a series of content bands, then added the images as backgrounds to these bands. I’m trying to create a homepage that has a series of full width images stacked one on top of the other, with text and a button overlaid on each image.

Thanks to GOG, many of the classic blobbers of my youth are available for those who can brave their outdated visuals and their clunky U.I.

Also, the traditional blobber, much to my joy, has returned and I have greedily bought up almost every turn based, hybrid, and RTWP blobber offered on the market. With the rise of Kickstarter and Steam, cRPGs have experienced a rebirth on the pc, with a massive number of indie RPGs, mid-sized studio RPGs, and Japanese console ports. For me that was a dark time in cRPG gaming, and even though I enjoyed many of the new, more action oriented RPGs, with their beautiful graphics and excellent stories, I missed the depth of character creation and tactical combat of early cRPGs. Wizardry 8 was released in 2001 and Might and Magic 9 in 2002, and both of those releases marked the demise of their respective studios. With the success of Baldur's Gate and Morrowind, blobbers began to die out. Of course, we didn't call them blobbers, since most RPGs back then were blobbers (the Ultima series was a huge exception). But these action games were never really my great love, like classical turn based blobbers were. Dungeon Master was the first action Blobber, and it also inspired game series like Land of Lore and Eye of the Beholder. ![]() Most of these games are classical dungeon crawlers, though Might and Magic and its successors always featured a huge outdoor world to explore. Blobbers are games with first person gameplay, and usually a party of adventurers. All three of the games are now defined as blobbers. Those games were Bard's Tale 3, Wizardry 6, and Might and Magic. Way back at the end of the 1980s I discovered three games which turned me into a hardcore computer RPG fan. ![]() |
