You can create meetings in any version of Teams, but you'll need Teams for Windows or Mac to create breakout rooms for your students. Students can join from any version of Teams.
### Anna Alekseeva
The students have access to our online school and their KPI is to complete not less than 1 unit per month (4 lessons) and to attend at least 1 individual class.
Their teacher's comment:
We have mostly worked through all the Level 14 EF book units. Their speaking is very good but they really struggle with conditionals. We have reviewed them before but they really need more work on them.Especially mixed conditionals. Alyona can be quite shy but her English is very good. Kirill reads and writes very well, but his speaking and listening needs practice. Iskander, is on level 15 and is doing wonderfully.
We'll have 2 more new students, who are going to attend a trial class: Alexander Shindin and Dmitry Fidelman
Пожалуйста, обратите внимание, что при расчете удержаний мы учитываем только те пропуски, о которых вы заблаговременно предупреждаете (достаточно короткого письма на настоящий электронный адрес). В связи с тем, что уровень группы - advanced, то компенсация от ЛК - 0%.

Teal organisations

xml_multi_dd_row
Would you like to work in a company where workers are self-managed?
Teal Organisation is a term coined in 2014 by Frederic Laloux in his book Reinventing Organizations.
Laloux uses a descriptive model in which he describes different types of organizations in terms of colour, and he cites studies by evolutionary and social psychologists including Jean Gebser, Clare W. Graves, Don Edward Beck, Chris Cowan and Ken Wilber.
(adapted from Wikipedia)
→ match the expressions with the definitions
→ describe a real-life or fictional situation with each expression

red organizations = organisations characterized by authoritarian structures and control through fear
amber organizations = organisations structured around rigid hierarchies and top-down command
orange organizations = organisations operating on meritocratic principles, emphasizing competition and performance
green organizations = organisations focusing on consensus and stakeholder values, often emphasizing culture and empowerment
teal organisations = (greenish-blue colour) organisations where management is based on worker autonomy and peer relationships
self-management = according the theory of Teal organizations, this replaces traditional hierarchy with a system where employees manage themselves and collaborate on decisions, distributing authority more evenly
wholeness = according the theory of Teal organizations, this encourages employees to integrate their personal and professional identities, fostering a work environment that prioritizes emotional well-being and authenticity
evolutionary purpose = according the theory of Teal organizations, this means organisations are living entities that adapt and evolve naturally, guided by their own sense of direction rather than rigid strategic plans or profit motives
turquoise company = organization which does not have a classic hierarchical structure, with a CEO at the head and other department managers below him. It is a system based on a flat structure with self-management, not power and positions
Teal companies = organisations which are characterized by power decentralization, self-discipline, natural hierarchies, and a high degree of employee responsibility. The concept of a Teal organization was created by Frederic Laloux, a former McKinsey and Company executive, and introduced in his book “Reinventing Organizations”.
rigid = (often disapproving) (of rules, methods, etc.) very strict and difficult to change; (of a person) not willing to change their ideas or behaviour; (of an object or substance) stiff and difficult to move or bend
to thrive = to become, and continue to be, successful, strong, healthy, etc

Microsoft starts rolling disconnection of its cloud products in Russia
MOSCOW. May 17 (Interfax) - Microsoft has started disconnecting its Russian corporate users from its cloud products in Russia, Softline (Softline Group) said on a Telegram channel dedicated to disconnecting foreign clouds.
"Microsoft, apparently, has approved the list of products to be disabled. Since yesterday evening, rolling stops of subscriptions in the CSP [cloud solution provider program] began; customers are being disconnected in batches of 5-10 at a time," the statement said.
https://interfax.com/newsroom/top-stories/102413/
The Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor) has banned apps like WhatsApp, Skype for Business, Teams, etc. for state employees` communication.

UEFI secure boot
If enabled, secure boot only allows the machine to boot using "approved Operating Systems." Someone should correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always been under the impression that secure boot is mainly to help protect you from someone with physical access to your machine.
For example, imagine you're using a Windows machine and someone plugs in a Live USB with Kali to try and reset your password using chntpw. If secure boot was enabled, they would be prevented from booting into the Live USB.
If your threat model means you aren't worried about someone with physical access, then you may not need this setting. There have been times where I've needed to use a Live USB to chroot into a broken system and make repairs, so I can understand why someone may want to disable secure boot.
(...)
SecureBoot is a anti-tampering set of technologies that's implemented in your motherboard's firmware. To boot with secureboot on, your bootloader must be signed by whatever key is trusted by your motherboard's firmware, commonly, this means Microsoft's Third-Party CA keys. Some distros have agreements with Microsoft and therefore can be booted without a problem on a SecureBoot enabled system.
If your bootloader is not signed, or if the signature does not match, then the motherboard will NOT execute your bootloader, and often skip it entirely just display an error message.
However, having SecureBoot ON does not mean your system is secure, it only means that the motherboard is verifiying the autenticity of the bootloader, nothing more. Thus, you need to pair SecureBoot with additional measures if you wish to actually have system that's tamper-resistant, for example, Full Disk Encryption, TPM2 measurements, signed initrd (or a Unified Kernel Image).
workaround:
→ use full disk encryption
