A game of catch

Throwing and catching game.

Especially good for young people looking to improve close range throwing and catching.

Requires
Tennis ball
Teams of 2 - good idea to have some one mature enough to judge the rules.

Rules
Team A member throws the ball to team B, if the throw is judged poor the thrower misses a go and the thrower folds their arms.
A throw is poor if:
It is too high
Does not reach the person
It is too wide

If Team B member does not catch the ball, they miss 2 goes and fold their arms, the other member of team B takes over throwing the ball.

How to win
The win takes place when both team members, from one team have there arms folded.

Additional information

The ball can be thrown to any member of the opposite team.

If the ball is thrown between both members of the opposite team and it is not judged poor and the opposite team do not catch it, the throw is retaken.


How to make the game harder

As the team members get better at throwing and or catching you can increase the number of missed goes for poor throws and dropped catches.

You can increase throwing difficult by moving the teams further apart.

You can increase the catching difficulty by using one hand.

You can have more than 2 teams

Removing the argument at the end of the day

We have 2 wonderful and challenging children who both have tablets, and when we want them to put them down at the end of an evening - we either got an argument or it's nearly finished..

I wanted a way of restricting and switching off the internet at set times to specific devices, unfortunately my TalkTalk router did not offer me many solutions.

How to change the default search engine in Microsoft Edge

Microsoft edge is the new Web browser installed with Microsoft Windows 10 (and seen by Microsoft as a replacement for Internet Explorer.)

I do like Edge but was having a problem changing the default search engine from Bing.


Microsoft has produced notes on how to change but I must learn to read the first item on the list..- Remember to access your search providers website in Edge before trying to change the default search provider.

1. Enter the search engine’s website and browse to it. (i.e. open www.google.com in Microsoft Edge) 
2. Select More actions (…) > Settings , then scroll down to select View advanced settings. In the list under Search in the address bar with, choose Change
3. From the Choose one list select Google Search (discovered) and then click Set as Default.

It's important to remember that adding a new search provider to Microsoft Edge doesn't change the search options within Internet Explorer, which has its own plugin-based method of choosing search engines. Nor does it change the behaviour of the search function within the taskbar – that's provided courtesy of Cortana, and as such will always be powered by Bing.
