Q: What is the best way to avoid getting "Emacs Pinky"? I just started using GNU Emacs as my text editor and I am concerned about getting afflicted with "Emacs Pinky" by having to constantly press the control key with my pinky finger as is required when using Emacs. How can I avoid potentially getting this type of repetitive strain injury?

A: I totally agree with the remap caps-lock solution, that helps quite a bit.
To go even further, I tried and liked the Ergoemacs keybindings. The project is being  actively developed, and supported quite well. I personally don't use it because it's not integrated with Mac OS X (some EMACS Keys are integrated in Cocoa), though it seems someone has posted an inputrc file with Ergoemacs keybindings.
Another trick I've been playing with is enabling StickyKeys. It's supported on many platforms and alleviates some of the problems specific to chording (as opposed to just overuse): it is apparently recommended on the emacswiki: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/StickyModifiers

A: I use the excellent key-chord mode for common actions.  You can give it functions or key sequences to call.
To make sure I do not obstruct normal typing too much, I generated letter statistics to find good key chords. I recorded them along with my default chords.
Additionally to more convenient command-calling, I have chords for inserting stuff like
Best wishes,
Arne

I hate writing emails without that ☺
Also I use control lock mode for things like flyspell, where I need control all the time. That's modal editing with real emacs shortcuts.
The chords I use the most are
; buffer actions
(key-chord-define-global "vg"     'eval-region)
(key-chord-define-global "vb"     'eval-buffer)
(key-chord-define-global "cy"     'yank-pop)
(key-chord-define-global "cg"     "\C-c\C-c")
(key-chord-define-global "äü"     'control-lock-toggle)

; frame actions
(key-chord-define-global "xo"     'other-window);
(key-chord-define-global "x1"     'delete-other-windows)
(key-chord-define-global "x0"     'delete-window)
(defun kill-this-buffer-if-not-modified ()
  (interactive)
  ; taken from menu-bar.el
  (if (menu-bar-non-minibuffer-window-p)
      (kill-buffer-if-not-modified (current-buffer))
    (abort-recursive-edit)))
(key-chord-define-global "xk"     'kill-this-buffer-if-not-modified)

; file actions
(key-chord-define-global "bf"     'ido-switch-buffer)
(key-chord-define-global "cf"     'ido-find-file)
(key-chord-define-global "zs"     "\C-x\C-s")
(key-chord-define-global "vc"     'vc-next-action)

A: First I'd like to point out that suggesting not to use Emacs because the default keybindings may not be for everyone doesn't make any sense.  Emacs is the most configurable "text editor" ever made and so, of course, trivial things like keymappings are fully configurable.
Regarding the "Emacs pinky" issue, I noticed that several people have "anti-Emacs-pinky" keybindings in their .emacs, like user "Paul Nathan" (17.5k rep as I type this) here:
What are good custom keybindings in emacs?
Then it is known for a fact that many people prefer the vi way and user Emacs' viper-mode.
I think that the major issue in Emacs is, by default, over-reliance on CTRL and more specifically C-x and C-f / C-b.  These three are really terrible because it means, IMHO, painful fingers distortion.
So to me first the problem has to be defined: what is the issue?  The issue is an over-reliance by default on CTRL, the fact that CTRL is typically badly located on most keyboards and the fact that most keyboard out there (I'd guesstimate more than 99.9% of all keyboards ever produced) are total pieces of junk.
So what is my solution to this?

*

*I use a good mechanical keyboard and I do touch-type.  People really serious about this will probably shell out $$$ for a very good split & matrix keyboard (like the Kinesis Advantage)... Because split and matrix are the only kind of keyboards that makes sense from an ergonomic point of view (this is not even open for debate).  I, sadly, have been typing for three decades and cannot adapt to matrix layout, so I'm using an old (flawed) staggered keyboard.  If you're going to use a staggered keyboard, at least take one that has  a good switch (for example buckling springs like in the IBM Model M or Cherry MX switches or Topres like in the Happy Hacking Keyboard Pro).  Be ready to shell out $500 and more if you hope to find a split + "mechanical" staggered, like the Cherry MX-5000 (*) or the IBM M15.

So: in short, if you're really serious about this, go for a Kinesis Advantage (they're using Cherry MX switches and you can even choose your specific switch if I'm not mistaken).
If, like me, you sadly cannot adapt to these wonderful keyboards because they're "too different", then go for a good "mechanical" keyboard.  Any keyboard allowing not to "bottom out" while typing will save your fingers' joints.  Helps after decades of programming.
If you don't want to go the "mechanical" route and think rubber domes are fine keyboards (I consider them junk but each it's preference), then at least choose a good rubber dome.  MS' Ergo 4K would be a good choice (once again: it's rubber dome so to me it's a finger-destroying junk, but it's a matter of taste).

*

*once you're using a good keyboard, remap CAPS-LOCK to CTRL.  Can be done on any OS.  It's trivial and there are plenty of links on the subject.

*Remap Emacs' keys to stop over-relying on CTRL.  First CTRL-x is terrible.  It really has to be the worst shortcut ever.  But you can remap ctl-x-map to what you want.  I do this in my remapping minor mode:
(define-key my-keys-minor-mode-map (kbd "C-,") ctl-x-map)
C-, might not suit you: pick something else...
Then there's the issue of cursor movement.  I think it's a big one for "text editor".  Even if tend to use all the fine Emacs functions to quickly move around the text buffers instead of "moving the cursor", I still do need to move the cursor "manually" quite often.
C-f / C-b have to be the two most stupid shortcuts to move the cursor ever.
I use M-{i,j,k,l}.  So people prefer {hjkl} instead of {ijkl} but I like {ijkl} because it reproduce the inverted T-arrow.  I also like the fact that when, as a touch-typist, you're in your home row, you already have three fingers on {jkl}.  No crazy finger motion to reach 'f' or 'b': makes no sense.
Last but not least: when you're not typing, do rest your fingers on your keyboard.  For this of course you need a keyboard with a good switch which has enough resistance not to activate when you're simply resting your keys on your keyboard.

A: Making caps lock another control key is a good place to start. Invest in an ergonomic keyboard. Some emacs users even go as far as to get foot pedal things for control and meta...

A: The Microsoft Natural Keyboard has been very, very good for me.  I use emacs for everything 10+ hrs a day with no problems.

A: My advice would be to try using your thumbs to press modifier keys (control, alt) when they are within a reach. On keyboards which have shorter space-bar it is possible to press Alt (Meta) even without bending your thumb inwards. You can remap e.g. right Alt to Control and this way be able to conveniently access both Control and Alt.
This is also possible on MS Natural Keyboards.

A: Consider a Kinesis Contoured keyboard.  It took me about a month to get up to speed with mine and I now consider it to be the ideal Emacs keyboard, even without the foot-pedal.
No joke. I ordered my first one with a food-pedal, but found I wasn't actually capable of coordinating the timing of my feet and my hands sufficiently to make much use of it for modifier keys. For a while I used it to toggle the integrated number pad, but I gave that up when I realized I wasn't using it because the number row on the Kinesis is so easy to reach.

A: One solution not yet mentioned here is to use both hands for key combinations.
For example, suppose you want to press <CTRL-K>.  On QWERTY-keyboards, <K> is on the right, so press <CTRL> with your left hand and <K> with your right hand.  Once you get used to the system, it works fine.

A: Configure so that the space bar works both as space and control; when the space is pressed alone, as a space, and pressed with others, as ctrl. So Space + x is treated as Ctrl + x.
You can do it with AutoHotKey in Windows, and with "at-home-modifier" in Xorg in Linux. (X, but Linux only.) You can use Karabiner (formaly known as keyremap4macbook) in Mac. (In fact, I am the author of at-home-modifier. =)
You can do more, if you have a keyboard with many keys around the space, like Japanese keyboards:Japanese keyboard http://www.owltech.co.jp/products/keyboard/KB86STD/KB86STD_B-320.jpg
My bottom row is basically EscBSSpaceEnterTab, but when used as modifiers, it's AltShiftCtrlShiftAlt. (For example, if you hold down Esc first and then Space, it's Alt+Space, but Space followed by Esc, it's Ctrl+Esc. If you press Space, Esc, and x, then it's ctrl + alt + x.) All can be pressed with the thumbs. You can order a Japanese keyboard from say amazon.com. You don't have to speak Japanese.
This is extremely handy. For firefox (sorry, not emacs) for example, focus a link, and press Ctrl + Enter; then it'll be opened in a new tab. (By also pressing Shift, it'll switch to the new tab, rather than staying on the current.)
(The above picture is the one the author of at-home-modifier uses. The maker doesn't sell this model any more, though.)

A: Per @Alasdair, remap Ctrl to "Caps Locks" or elsewhere: instructions for various platforms.
P.S. I'm a bit surprised this can't be done via an elisp function.

A: One more approach: if you want to avoid getting "emacs pinky" simply do not use pinky to press control key.
If it is necessary remap keys on your keyboard to go in the following order:
[Ctrl][Alt][  Space  ][Alt][Ctrl]
On any standard keyboard (which symmetrically positions modifier keys, e.g. any MS keyboard) now you can press Ctrl key with ring finger and Alt key with middle finger on both hands. These fingers are much stronger than pinky and can endure frequent use.
Great tool for easily remapping keyboard keys on windows is AutoHotKey
On Ubuntu I managed to do it using: Keyboard Preferences / Layouts/ Other options

A: Put the modifiers where they were meant to be: on either side of the space-bar, where they can be pressed by the thumb (or other digit of your choice) on the opposite hand from the digit pressing the modified letter (so that C-g is right-thumb on Ctrl and left index on 'g', and C-k is left-thumb on Ctrl and right middle on 'k'). You will note that the correct sequence, from inside out, is Ctrl Meta Super Hyper.
How you do this depends on your OS and your keyboard. For Windows, you might like to start here. In Mac OS X you can look in System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Modifier Keys. For Linux, there are a thousand xmodmap and XKB tutorials.

A: Try viper-mode, which is a vi emulator in emacs. As someone who has switched back and forth between vi/emacs/vim several times in the last 25 years, I'm now finally trying viper-mode in emacs, and I like it. I find the vi commands to be more comfortable, but I can still keep the advanced features of emacs that I like.

A: I use emacs and bash all day every day, and I have capslock as an extra left-control key, like VT100 intended.  Nobody's mentioned the best way to do that on X11, yet.  (actually, this is specific to the X.org/xfree86 X server, which everything uses these days):

setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps

 Or edit your xorg.conf to have
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbRules" "xorg"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
        Option      "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
        Option      "Autorepeat" "200 40"
EndSection

(The XkbOptions and Autorepeat are what I added to the pre-generated one.  Then X will start with the right key mapping every time, and you don't have to find where to put setxkbmap to have it executed every time you log in and start your window manager.)
Although gnome does have a keyboard manager thing, as boskom mentioned.
FYI, emacs was originally written for MIT lisp machines with "space cadet" keyboards.  X11 has super, hyper, alt and meta modifier keys.  Sometimes the "windows keys" on PC keyboards are mapped to Super.  They're handy to bind to window-manager stuff (e.g. switch virtual desktops) because almost no apps normally use them.

A: to Chow,
yesterday i found a solution that we can have system wide ErgoEmacs keybinding on the mac.
The trick is to use mac os x's keybinding system so that you have system wide ErgoEmacs keybinding with the Control key. Then, in OS preference, swap the Control and Cmd key.
So that, you get ErgoEmacs keybinding system wide with the modifier beside the space bar. The draw back is of course that normal mac Cmd+key is now at the corner of keyboard. So, it's a trade off, about whether you use most apps for text editing, or the app's shortcuts.
might give it a shot here:
http://code.google.com/p/ergoemacs/wiki/ErgoEmacs_keys_system_wide
also, few years back i tried the mac's os wide custome keybinding, some cocoa apps still doesn't support it. See bottom here
• How To Create Keybinding In Mac OS X
but perhaps things are better now.

@ Xiong Chiamiov

A: I have a MS natural keyboard as well and it's awesome. I've managed to train myself to use the side of my left hand (below the pinky) to hit the Ctrl key.

A: Even after remapping capslock to become control, you still have to use your pinky to press it - at least I do, because my ring finger won't reach it for a command like C-g. Using your pinky at all is not recommended, right?
I'm on a MacBook Pro and I've just remapped the ⌘ on the right side of the keyboard to become control. So that way, for instance, C-g becomes a keystroke I execute with both hands, my right-hand thumb on ⌘ and my left forefinger on g.
We'll see if that helps with my RSI. Anyone else done this?

A: Get a foot pedal! (I have a kinesis.) After you do, unmap control and capslock so you force yourself to use your feet.
(FYI, remapping capslock will help, but after enough emacsing in one day, will not be a total solution.)

A: For the love of God - use another text editor! If it's something that requires a foot pedal to work with it normally, then... well... frankly, I'm speechless. There is a multitude of powerful contemporary text editors out there that don't require you to memorize volumes of arcane keystrokes or buy fancy hardware.
You know, I can understand and accept a lot of things, but a foot pedal for a simple text editor is really where I draw the line.

A: I have always been curious about why such a large community of programmers, writers, geeks, etc. haven't yet found super simple and effective solution to this problem. Simply: 1) take a small piece of paper, make paper ball of it; 2) use scotch to stick it on to your left ctrl key (temporarily removing it from the place); 3) when writing, use side of your left palm to press that key - now this key is higher than others and you can do it easily. That way you don't need to buy uber ergo-keyboards, or remap ctrl key to capslock (which you eventually will push with your pinky anyway)...
So much discussions about such a small problem.

A: Remap Left-Ctrl and Caps-Lock so they are where they should be:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout] "Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,3a,00,1d,00,1d,00,3a,00,00,00,00,00

A: One of the first things I do on a new machine is remap Caps Lock to a new Control.
Google around, there are plenty of .reg files available that will do this painlessly for you on Windows.

A: I started using the side\palm of my hands to hit the control key instead of my pinky fingers. My understanding is that on more ergonomic keyboards the control key button is bigger which makes it easier to perform that motion.

A: I can use the Control key in either the west or south-west positions without any trouble.  Many Emacsers swear that the control key belongs in the west position and the west position only, and that anything else will ruin your pinky.  The only thing we know for sure causes RSI from typing is too much typing.  Try type-break-mode and see if a few regular breaks help.

A: Buy a Happy Hacking Keyboard which has Ctrl in The Right Place (Caps Lock is moved elsewhere).  It has excellent response and is configurable via DIP switches for maximum integration on Mac, Windows, and Linux (for example, you can switch what is Alt and what is the Windows key right from the keyboard, no software required).
It also has a very small footprint, if that suits your fancy.

A: Since this thread is still kinda going, I'll add my two cents:
With or without emacs, the ctrl key is useful for tons of stuff on linux or windows: copy, cut, paste, find, close, quit... I use this stuff constantly. So as others have suggested, I want that near the spacebar so I can use my thumb. And that's how it is by default on a mac, where all that stuff uses the cmd key:
[ctrl] [alt] [cmd] [spacebar]
So, I use a mac keyboard on my linux box, and set up the cmd key as a second ctrl key (In Ubuntu Lucid: Keyboard Prefs > Layouts > Options > Alt/Win Key Behavior > Control is mapped to Win keys (and the usual Ctrl keys))
[ctrl] [alt] [ctrl] [spacebar]
Other benefits:
* When I need to use a mac sometimes, cut/paste/etc are all in the same place I'm used to.
* ctrl+tab (with the real ctrl key) still moves through tabs for browsers and other apps, on both platforms.
The drawback to this plan is that the alt key has moved to the left, so the alt+tab command (which I use for window switching) no longer matches the mac equivalent cmd+tab. But I can still hit it with my thumb, and it's still, to me, a far lesser evil than destroying my pinky. Yeah, I know I could just make ctrl+tab the window switcher, but then the real ctrl key doesn't work for tab switching. Besides, with apps moving into the browser, the window/tab navigational strategies are gonna be in flux for a while -- but the basics like cut/paste aren't going anywhere, so I want them locked down. Under my thumb.
(Of course, if you wanted to use emacs on a mac, I guess you'd be back at square one...)

A: I actually did my own hack to avoid using the ctrl key. I use now the SPACEBAR key.
This small program for X changes the behavior of the space bar, so that when it is used in a combination, it adds the control modifier to it. When used alone, it behaves normally on release.
That way you don't have to use your pinky at all! Worked perfectly for me.

A: I am not a programmer and I also have a hard time explaining ideas. I am on a dell mini laptop. The mouse touchpad is in a spot where my thumbs rest.
My left touchpad button acts as a control key:
With the side of my thumb I press it and edit in emacs as usual.
I was going to map the right touchpad button to alt, but instead I have done the
following:
I press the button and the control key gets pressed (locked).
I press it again and controll gets released.
This not only made my pinky feel better it also made my editing twice as fast. (according
to my org-mode clocks)
It is hard to explain how nice it works.
In order to do this I used the following two aplications:
xbindkeys
xdotool
My xbindkeys config file:
###########################
# xbindkeys configuration #
###########################
# left mouse button ctrl key
"xdotool keydown ctrl"
b:1
"xdotool keyup ctrl"
control + b:1  +  Release
# vi wanna be style editing
"xdotool keydown ctrl"
release+b:3
"xdotool keyup ctrl"
release+control+b:3
# -------------------------

Before experimenting with these ideas make sure to read the man pages.
Do not have anything important open. I had to kill my window manager a few times
before getting it correct.
notes:
I use xmodmap to do all the regular stuff i.e. caps ---> control (not a full solution), swapping alt and control. (on a laptop It is ok but my thumbs cramp up)
I use the window manager config file (stumpwm) to create bindings to load the proper key mapping
file. (depending on my mood for the day)
I am sure all this can be implemented in a different environment.
My pink pain is gone, my editing is faster.

A: Try the God-Mode plugin that is not bad .

A:
Just to overcome this issue I remap all the copy,paste,save...etc into numpad.For further ease I bought a separate numpad and place it behind my laptop key board.

You can easily remap the keys using AHK(auto hot key).I am using the following key mappings script,

NumpadIns::^s
NumpadEnd::^c
NumpadDown::^v
NumpadPgDn::^x
NumpadLeft::^+v
NumpadClear::Control
NumpadRight::^a
NumpadHome::q
NumpadUp::Tab
NumpadDel::^f
NumpadEnter::Space

1 : copy
2 : paste
0 : save

etc....

A: Assuming the key in the left lower corner of the keyboard is control (which is for standard keyboards), it's very easy to just lower your palm and it will press the Ctrl key. No pinky involved. It's so easy and fast I love it. I only use the pinky for the other keys above the Ctrl key (Shift, Caps, etc.). For Alt, Windows key, Function key (when using my laptop) on the left side I use my left thumb (right thumb for space). I use Ctrl the same way for combinations of hot keys that include Ctrl.
I only use right Left Ctrl key. I use Right Ctrl as "super" modifier (mapped to F23 in autohotkey which then is mapped to supper in emacs).
It may seem odd at first to press Ctrl this way but after some usage becomes super easy (it only requires a slight lowering of the hand/palm) - to me it's almost as easy as when no hotkey (Ctrl) is pressed. I see this difference as I'm now learning emacs and learning to do the same on the right side (for AppKey and Right Control key and Down and End for my laptop).
Here's my ahk code:
#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and      reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

If you are like me, being lazy and all, but still doing everything to support this laziness, than you have come to the right place to be able to right-click onto your Content Browser, click on Blueprint and seeing your most used, beloved, always compiling, and functioning custom C++ classes right away, ready to be clicked on, than rather searching through the Class Browser.
Even though my Project "Nina" is a one man show, I work on other projects with several people, consisting of Designers, Programmers, and coffee addicts called Producers (me). Now having important classes exposed right in the Blueprint Wizard, makes it easy for Designers to know what to pick, especially when it comes down to Actors, Pawns etc. It happens very fast that you need to parent a wrong class again, and if it has already a very extensive Graph, it might not work right away. Also all that greatness a Coder has put into that custom class, is just not available for the Designers.
So in the end it is about convenience and ensuring that the correct, most used classes are exposed to have a more efficient and secure workflow and makes everyone happy, especially Producers.
This tutorial is for everyone who likes to make their experience a bit more convenient for themselves or their team. In general this tutorial is for everyone who likes to include their C++ Custom Classes into the Picker (Common Classes).
For now I will not create a custom Editor Module but basically explain some of the Parameters and where the code is, but than basically just moving ahead adding to the Project ini File. In a later stage I might update this Tutorial to go a bit further, so this is perfectly viable also for people just extending Gameplay Classes, without the need of Editor Localization and Editor Extension. For those who don't want to know where things are coming from and don't want to go along with extending the Editor on their own, can go ahead with the Tutorial part.
Basically, the declaration or in other words setting of the standard list, is part of the BaseEditor.ini of the Engine found in "Engine/Config/". What we are searching for is +NewAssetDefaultClasses.
Attention: We are not going to change those in the BaseEditor.ini, but will use our DefaultEditor.ini from our Project instead.
ClassName - "/Script/[Module].[ClassName]" - Basically the Class which you want to be called when the Designer is pushing THE BUTTON.
LocTextNameID - Name (Button) - Either referencing directly the definition in the Code, or if its not present, it will use directly the Text set in the ini.
LocTextDescriptionID - Description, next to the Button - Either referencing directly the definition in the Code of the ID, or if its not present, it will use directly the Text set in the ini.
To have control over the Buttons Tooltip, you need to have a comment in your Header File.
* Custon Nina Actor - Actor is the base class for an Object that can be placed or spawned in a level.
* Actors may contain a collection of ActorComponents, which can be used to control how actors move, how they are rendered, etc.
* The other main function of an Actor is the replication of properties and function calls across the network during play.
This is basically only editing the DefaultEditor.ini without considering for localization, which would require a bit more work, extending the Editor. So if you stick with English or the Standard Language you are using, your are good to go.
4. Replace the + with a - if you don't want those Standard Classes to appear, otherwise leave it.
Characters are limited for Name and Description, and might get cut when viewing in the Editor.

Yes. If you use drugs occasionally or at all, you are at risk of developing an addiction. Addiction takes place in ones brain and happens over a course of change in brain chemicals. Anyone that uses drugs or drinks alcohol is at potential risk.


Police say fatalities were not wearing seatbelts when driver lost control of his car and hit barrier.
Weekend traffic accidents claimed two young lives overnight Thursday. Atlit residents Yossi Ben-Naim and Sa'ar Asraf, both 17, were killed when the car in which they were traveling overturned on Route 2, at the southern entrance to Haifa. Three others were lightly to moderately injured in the crash. Police said that the 17-year-old driver of the car had tried to speed past another vehicle. However, he clipped the second car, lost control and hit the central barrier. The car then overturned and Asraf and Ben-Naim, who were sitting in the back, were flung out of the vehicle and killed. Police said it appeared that neither Asraf nor Ben-Naim were wearing seatbelts at the time of the collision. The driver who caused the crash and another front-seat passenger sustained light to moderate injuries. Police said that the driver's license was only seven months old. The 42-year-old driver of the second car was also lightly to moderately injured.

Hackers Increase IM Attacks
Postini announced a continuing trend by hackers to attack corporate networks through lightly protected instant messaging (IM) systems
SAN CARLOS, Calif. -- Postini, the global leader in Integrated Message Management, today announced that its Monthly Message Security & Management Update for June shows a continuing trend by hackers to attack corporate networks through lightly protected instant messaging (IM) systems and by sending email using image-only spam – spam that contains no text, just a picture. Image spam can contain a picture of words (a "screenshot"), a photographic image, or a combination of the two.
In June, Postini identified and prevented new IM malware attacks from infecting desktop PCs, including Worm.pic-myspace-info, an annoying worm that lures victims to a website from where the worm installs itself on a user's machine, infects the victim's IM client, and then replicates itself as an IM message to all of the victim's "buddy list" members. Postini also protected its clients using Yahoo! Messenger from the Secunia/Yahoo.dos.vuln worm which launches denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, crashing other users' Yahoo! Messenger clients with floods of messages.
World Cup spam and image-only spam containing pornography and stock offers were common in June. After declining steadily throughout 2005 (from about 12 percent of all spam down to about 5 percent, with some fluctuations), the use of image spam jumped dramatically in December 2005, to 25 percent of all spam, where it has remained since. Postini attributes this increase to spammers testing the deliverability of image spam in early 2005 and realizing that many anti-spam systems are helpless when messages contain no text to analyze, so the use of images helps get the spam delivered. Upon seeing the positive results, they converted much of their spam to image spam. Postini, with its Sender Behavior Analysis, detects and blocks image spam.
"Hackers and spammers are logically shifting their attacks away from secured systems, and aiming at unsecured ones. It is now very difficult to get a virus or worm past modern email protection systems, so hackers are now exploiting instant messaging systems," explained Andrew Lochart, senior director of marketing at Postini. "And while most anti-spam products do a good job against run-of-the-mill text-based spam, many fail totally when presented with no text to analyze, thus the rapid rise in the use of image spam."

Silver is a metal with unique properties including its strength, malleability and ductility. It is also characterized with electrical and thermal conductivity, sensitivity to and high reflectance of light and the ability to endure extreme temperature ranges.
The versatility of silver leads to few substitute metals in most of its applications, particularly in high-technology uses in which reliability, precision and safety are critical.
Silver is used in all our lives daily, from our cell phones to our personal computers. You can find Silver in automotive batteries, satellites, high tech weaponry and digital technology, among others.
Demand for silver consumed by the photovoltaic industry has been driven by a tremendous increase in the uptake of renewable energy. Silver is used in the solar panels employed for photovoltaic power generation.
Silver is used in Biocidal applications; these are already in use across a diverse array of products from medical instruments to glass and playground equipment. Antimicrobials containing silver are used in textiles for odor, discoloration prevention, hygienic plastic, and other applications.
Physical silver demand declined 2% to 1,017.6 Moz, impacted mainly by a drop in coin and bar demand.
Jewelry fabrication returned to growth in 2017, rising 2% to 209.1 Moz.
Coins & medals fabrication declined 35% in 2017 to 79.4 Moz, the lowest since 2008.
Global silverware increased 12% in 2017 to 58.4 Moz due to a strong recovery in Indian demand.
Silver is the pre-eminent electrical and thermal conductor of all metals, which makes it essential in many electrical applications.
Pure silver does not tarnish easily but to make it durable for jewelry it is often alloyed with small amounts of copper. It is also widely used with base metals in gold alloys.
Historically, silver was more widely used in coinage than gold, being in greater supply and of less value, thus being practical for everyday payments.
Sterling silver has been the standard of silverware since the 14th century, particularly in the manufacture of "hollow-ware" and "flatware".
A large portion of the total silver supply is a result of mine production. Mine supply totaled 852 Moz in 2017, largely in line with the prior year.
As a precious metal, silver has become an investment of choice for those who recognize its traditional role as a safe haven asset.
Coins and medals - total coin and medals fabrication totaled 79.4 Moz in 2017, the lowest level since 2008.
Physical bar investment by 16% in 2017, mainly due to a fall in investment demand in North America.
Silver exchange traded products (ETPs) – increased 2.4 Moz, bringing total holdings of ETPs to 670 Moz. ETPs peaked in late July 2017 at 696 Moz, reaching an all-time high.
Total Identifiable Inventory rose by 27% to a three-year high of 247.2 Moz (7,688 t) in 2013, chiefly as a result of the 75% rise in purchases of bars and coins.

Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government
By United States. Congress. Senate. Committee on Expenditures in the Executive Departments
Now, I have had a great many people come and talk to me about this bill who have seen what the royal commissions have done in England, and they think that this bill reminds them of that. Well under the royal commission system in England, the Prime Minister appoints a commission of Jistinguished citizens on any one of these big, difficult problems. Then, they take a year or a year and a half and come in with their report. The caliber of the commission is so distinguished that they command public acceptance, and the House of Commons and the public and the press usually accept their findings.
And so, some people have made the point to me that the thing to do is to have a commission without Members of Congress. I am very much opposed to that. I think we must have Members of Congress on this commission in order that they will be constantly informed of what is happening and in order that they can influence the proceedings, ask the questions that they want to have asked, and discharge their full responsibility:
Senator FERGUSON. May I just inquire how they appoint the commission?
Senator LODGE. In England?
Senator FERGUSON. Yes.
Senator LODGE. The Prime Minister appoints them. I mean the King appoints them, but on nomination by the Prime Minister.
The CHAIRMAN. Are they appointed for a definite length of time with instructions to report on or before a certain date?
Senator LODGE. Yes; that is it.
The CHAIRMAN. It is not a continuing commission in any way?
Senator LODGE. No, no. They will take a problem, like universal military training or reorganization of the government or finance or something, some problem that bothers everybody and that the legislators do not have the time to go into in depth, and then bring in a report.
Senator FERGUSON. They are not necessarily ministers being Members of the House of Commons?
Senator LODGE. They are not Members; they are definitely not Members. They are private citizens who are selected for their qualifications.
The CHAIRMAN. Are they empire-wide?
Senator LODGE. Sometimes. They are when it comes to a national defense question, but I think on a
The CHAIRMAN (interposing). They had such a commission meeting in Canada some 10 or 15 years ago on a revision of the monetary system, did they not?
Senator LODGE. Yes; they did.
The CHAIRMAN. As I recall it.
Senator LODGE. That is right.
The CHAIRMAN. And, they had a Dominion Trade Conference. I am not sure that that would be analagous to this sitaution.
Senator LODGE. The advantage of that is that it gives an authoritative, profound and conclusive analysis of problems that are baffling the country and that are baffling the government. And, that is what this commission attempts to do.
Just let me say this, that while it is customary for the author of a bill to get appointed to the position that the bill creates, I do not want to be appointed to anything on this Commission should this bill be
favorably reported. I want to state on the record that I think the members, the congressional members, should be members of this committee because they will be the ones who will take those findings and translate them into action once the findings are made.
The CHAIRMAN. Senator McCarthy.
Senator McCARTHY. Senator, will you also go into the question raised by Senator Thye? That is the wisdom of perhaps having one director who would be head of this investigation rather than a 12-man board.
Senator LODGE. Well, of course, this Commission is not going to be a perpetual thing. The theory of this Commission is that for the first time in 16 years we have this opportunity. It is a very timely moment to undertake this study; that the war is over, or the fighting is stopped-I will put it that way; and that we are in a state at the present time which makes this a very psychological moment to do this. And, once this Commission has reported in January 1949, then it will cease to exist.
It is my hope that they will report that we should have a system such as you propose with a secretariat here and a director of it who will really definitize and bring into sharp focus the control by Congress of expenditures to a sharper degree than it has ever been before. It is my hope they will make that recommendation.
Senator BRICKER. Permanent?
Senator LODGE. This is not permanent.
Senator BRICKER. That would be permanent? A continuing body?
Senator LODGE. Yes; I think under this committee.
Senator McCARTHY. I am curious to know where you arrived at the figure of 12. Do you think a group that large will operate as efficiently as a smaller group?
Senator LODGE. Let me say that if the committee in its wisdom decides to make it smaller I shall certainly accept their decision with gratification, because I have no pride of authorship. What I am interested in is to see this thing done. But, I will tell you why
Senator McCARTHY (interposing). I know you have some good reason for saying 12, and presently I do not know why. I am curious to know why you set the figure at 12.
Senator LODGE. I can tell you why, and it may be that I am wrong. There is one thing that occurred to me that I want to tell you about in a moment. This, of course, is an entirely nonpartisan proposition. The fact, as you see in the Budget Bureau's letter, that the President has indicated his willingness to cooperate in the event this bill is enacted is further proof of the fact there is no partisanship in this thing at all.
We wanted, of course, to have four from the Congress. That takes care of four right there. And then, it seemed that to establish the nonpartisanship and representative character of the undertaking it would be well to have the noncongressional members chosen by the Speaker and the President pro tempore as well as by the President, and that is what brought the size of the Commission up.
You might say we will have four appointed by the President and four Members of the Congress. An argument could be made for that. But, that is a matter of judgment.
There is this thought though that occurs to me, Mr. Chairman, and that is on page 3, line 17, where the bill says that seven members of the Commission shall constitute a quorum. I believe that when any decisions are to be made or any voting is to be done that of course there should be a majority present. But, I would hope that it would be possible to make some alteration of that section, section 5, because otherwise I am afraid that when Congress is in session and the congressional Members are busy up here, it might impose a tremendous drag on the noncongressional members who are the ones that are going to carry the routine burden of this work.
So, I submit that thought to the consideration of the committee in the hopes that maybe they will see fit to make some alteration in section 5 so that it will only apply to sessions of the Commission in which there is going to be voting done or decisions taken.
The CHAIRMAN. That would be the same as the provisions of the Reorganization Act as relates to action by a committee of the Congress—that a majority of the committee is required to be present and voting whenever a bill or resolution is voted out of the committee.
Senator LODGE. Yes.
The CHAIRMAN. Or an important decision of that nature made.
Senator LODGE. That is what I mean.
The CHAIRMAN. But otherwise the committee can fix its own quorum, but it shall be at least one-third of the membership, which means five.
Senator LODGE. That would require amendment of this bill. That is exactly the thought I have in mind.
The CHAIRMAN. You would have this section 5 rewritten so as to conform to the requirements that are placed upon a committee of Congress?
Senator LODGE. That is my thought.
Senator O'CONOR. May I ask a question there?
The CHAIRMAN. Yes. Senator O'Conor.
Senator O'CONOR. I am just wondering whether in one or two respects you would consider any modification of this proposal.
First of all, may I say I am wholeheartedly in accord with the purpose of it, and I think there is a crying need for just this sort of action, and I think you should be commended for initiating it. But, I wonder if you had given any thought to insuring the continuity of it?' I understand you are primarily interested in setting up the mechanism by which the study is to be made.
I wonder whether it occurred to you or has anybody suggested the possibility of insuring the continuity so it would not just be a report, then possibly stop there, but, because of the great importance of it, whether there could not be something tying it in with a committee such as this so that there would be definite assurance that the studies would carry on and would continue or that they would be put into fulfillment?
What I have in mind is this. We in a small way in Maryland attempted something like that. We had a committee composed of Dean Acheson. The president of Johns Hopkins University was the chairman. In passing the law we made it mandatory there would be continuity.
Senator LODGE. Yes; I think that is a very important point, and my thought on that was that through this secretariat under this committee the work could be continued.
Now, I do not think you could expect men of the caliber that we would have on this commission, like, let us say, former Senator La Follette, whom I mention just as an illustration, or Secretary Forrestal, or Justice Roberts, or whoever it might be. I do not think you could expect them to make a life work of staying on a commission like this, but I do think that your thought should be carried out insofar as maintaining the control and study by the Congressional committees is concerned.
Another reason why I think this is the best way to do it is that if you just had a congressional committee doing it, you know what would happen. The members would be busy. They would have their other committees, and their work on the floor, so they would leave a lot of it to the staff. No matter how able your staff is, and I know you have an able staff on this committee, they cannot get the contact and get the confidence of the head men in the departments in the way a man like Justice Roberts or Secretary Forrestal can. They cannot get on a confidential basis with the people that they need to get on a confidential basis with.
That is another reason why I think it would serve the purpose of this committee better to have a commission like this undertake this deep study, and then have this committee take the lead to carry out their findings.
The CHAIRMAN. Senator Lodge, in section 9 I noticed you state that 90 days after submission to Congress of the report provided by section 10 (b) the commission shall cease to exist. Does the wording of that section contemplate that action would be taken by the Congress within 90 days after the report was made, or what was the reason for continuing the commission for 90 days?
Senator LODGE. Well, I just thought that they might be available for questioning
The CHAIRMAN. That is as the chair interpreted that, but that was evidently written with the expectation that at least the proper committee of the Congress would hold hearings within 90 days after the report was submitted.
Senator LODGE. I do not think I understand your point, Senator.
The CHAIRMAN. Well, you say that you expect the members of the commission would be available for questioning or for giving advice for 90 days after the report is submitted and for making studies. That would evidently anticipate that some committee of the Congress, presumably this one, would hold hearings on the report of the commission within that 90-day period.
Senator LODGE. Yes, it does. It does assume that. I thought that by that time, of course, this commission would have quite a high-powered staff of its own, and I thought it might serve your purposes here better not to have them scattered to the four winds right away.
The CHAIRMAN. Oh, that is for the purpose of holding the staff together as an entity?
Senator LODGE. Yes; and also
The CHAIRMAN (interposing). Until the Congress could decide what it wanted to do with them, if anything?
Senator LODGE. That is right; and, you might want to take some of them on here. That is the purpose of that.
It is my belief, for instance, that this commission might want to retain these industrial-management experts to go through some of these departments. I think this thing has tremendous ramifications.
Senator ROBERTSON. On that point, Senator, would you agree with me that regardless of how able the commission may be and how farsighted they may be that they could not get to first base in recommending economies to us without first finding out what each agency was doing and how much it was spending to do it?
Senator LODGE. Absolutely. That is basic.
Senator ROBERTSON. We tackled it that way in Virginia when Byrd was governor in 1926. He appointed one of the finest commissions we had in Virginia—the ablest men in the State. But, we went to New York City and employed a firm that had specialized in government management to study the expenditures and to see what the departments were doing and what it was costing and how they could be consolidated to get more service for less money.
I think we paid that commission $50,000; I am not positive. I was a member of Governor Byrd's staff and very much interested not on the commission though. I think they paid them $50,000 to investigate expenditures of about $50,000,000.
Now, on the basis of money, if we had an agency to investigate $30,000,000,000 it would cost 600 times as much as we spent in Virginia, or $30,000,000. Of course, that would be out of the question.
But recently, the chairman of this committee and the Senator from North Carolina and I sat in on a conference with the Comptroller General to discuss his responsibility under sections 6 and 7 of the Reorganization Act, to study the question of efficiency and economy. And, it is my recollection that he told us in effect there that he had a staff that would be hopelessly inadequate to do the job that was expected of him. He could make some spot checks, but it would probably take 1,500 auditors at possibly $5,000 a year to find out where all the money was being spent and what it was being spent for. That alone would cost 7% million dollars.
I voted, as I recall, for three definite reorganization bills since I have been a Member of Congress. We voted in the first administration, I think, of President Franklin D. Roosevelt to give him the power to reorganize. Well, then we gave him a second reorganization bill, and we had a great fight over that. Some people thought the Forest Service might be transferred to the Interior; and it reserved the right that he would submit it in so many days and we could vote on it, and all that. The fears were all ungrounded because so far as I know there was not much done.
Then, we passed another reorganization bill, and again, like the Director of the Budget has told you, not a great deal came out of it.
I am satisfied all of us want to see economy. All of us know that there is reorganization to be done. But, looking back on the past experiences of it, we know that with the plans we tried in the past, even with the fine report of the Brookings Institution, which was a technical organization, which we did not have to pay for because it is a foundation, we got a lot of information but in some way nothing came out.
We never went to the real heart of the problem. We never could get a comprehensive and over-all picture of any operation as big as a $30,000,000,000 enterprise. And, I am just wondering whether we


I am normal. I don't like to give people bad news.
Sometimes it is tough having the gifts I have because people don't always really want to know, even if they pay you, even if they ask you or even beg you.
I always try to be tactful, but tact is not my strong suit.
Love and compassion are definitely strong suits of mine. If you looked at my heart chakra, you would see it is big and wide.
I saw a photograph of my own aura years ago and my heart chakra was huge.
So it actually pains me to tell people what they don't want to hear.
I remember once, a friend was starting her own healing business. I told her she was going to be doing her own marketing business as well as her healing business for several years.
She got mad. She called another friend who is psychic.
To this day, she sees about four healing clients a week and does her marketing to pay the mortgage.
My other friend who is psychic understood. "People don't always want to hear the truth," she reminded me.
Another time, a friend's boyfriend broke up with her. She asked my opinion. "There's going to be a gap," I told her.
"Oh no," she responded. There were all these guys lined up, ready to date, she insisted.
Needless to say, there is a gap.
A couple of months ago, a friend called me because she had a pain on her right side.
It was indeed complicated. Her liver was toxic. I recommended she do a detox and gave her a detox powder. She had lost her will to live and was severely depressed. She missed her father, who had died last year. The ileocecal valve was stuck closed.
She took my detox powder with her, then called again about a month later. Her right side was swollen.
She came in for an appointment. She had used up the detox powder and had not bothered to get more. I was shocked that she had not asked for more detox powder, as both her breasts had been removed from breast cancer and her ovaries were taken out just last December.
I wasn't happy with how her kidneys, gallbladder or appendix were functioning.
It was a Friday afternoon. I recommended she go to the doctor first thing on Monday morning for thorough testing. I even insisted she get the doctor on the phone with her while she was in my office.
She protested that the test was going to cost her a lot of money.
She kept asking me if it was O.K. to drink alcohol. I gave her another canister of detox powder. I had already taught her about juicing, and encouraged her to do the detox powder and juice and eat healthy food.
The following week, she went to the doctor and discovered that her cancer had returned, this time in her liver.
It turns out that another doctor had tested her a few months back and her liver numbers were out of range. But he did not warn her. It was only when she went for an MRI that her liver cancer was discovered.
Two weeks later, the doctors confirmed that the cancer had traveled not only to her liver but also into her bones.
She called me back. "Why didn't you see it?" she asked me.
She told me she had decided to work with another healer.
It was obvious she was angry with me.
About a week later, I talked to my mentor in healing, Sue Maes.
There are not many people who do what I do, especially at the level that I do it. I am so fortunate to be able to talk to Sue in Canada.
"I made a mistake," I told Sue.
Sue had a similar experience. A woman had breast cancer. She asked Sue if it had returned. Initially Sue had not seen anything. Then a few weeks later, the woman's breasts were oozing. "Go immediately to the doctor," Sue urged the woman. She died two weeks later.
"The soul will show you only what it wants you to see," Sue told me.
I actually take notes on my discussions with Sue, so I know precisely what it was she said to me.
"I don't think you were wrong. The body was hiding it. The soul did not want you to know. The soul hid it out of the energy field so you couldn't see it," Sue said to me.
"She needs this experience. It is how she is going to get out of the body. If you had seen it, you would have healed her. Her journey is not that.
"You need to release this," she said to me.
I love my friend dearly. We have known each other only a short two years. We have much in common, we are both writers and yoga teachers. I felt great grief that she was not as healthy as I would like.
"It's not about wrong," Sue said to me.
I recalled that my friend had asked me to touch her side and I had not wanted to. I put my hands on people's bodies all the time doing hands-on healing. This is something I am highly practiced at doing, highly experienced at doing. But I did not want to go there.
I asked Sue if I had forgiven myself yet. Sue said no.
When you look at the energy of cancer, usually you see or sense a void in the energy field. It's like the energy from the spot is pulling up and out. And by pulling up, it's a vertical pulling up, like the person's soul is checking out.
Years ago, I was a big fan of T.S. Eliot. I read all of his poems. And he KNEW. Human beings have trouble hearing the truth. Even me sometimes.
It takes great courage to see the truth. It takes even greater courage to speak the truth.

September 17, 1919 – May 22, 2012.
George was born in Edam, SK, and grew up in North Battleford. His engineering studies at Saskatoon were interrupted by WWII. During the war he volunteered and was first stationed in Victoria, where he met and married Sybil and, shortly after the marriage, was shipped off to Europe as an infantry officer. After the war they settled in Vancouver, where George completed his BA and MA in mathematics (thesis: A Generalization of the First Plucker Formula), followed by a BEd.
During his career he taught at Burnaby South, and Delbrook and Carson Graham in North Vancouver. He also taught at UBC's commerce school. During this time he co‑authored a Euclidean geometry textbook, served on the board of Highland's United Church, was on the executive of the BC Mathematics Teachers Association, played tuba for a variety of bands, and was, along with wife Sybil, an avid sailor. Perhaps the highlight of his career was when his mathematics contest team came in first in BC. In 1990 George and Sybil moved to Qualicum Beach, where he quickly became active in a number of community organizations.
A few years ago he took up bridge. He also enjoyed the game of Upwards, and it was a rare occasion for anyone else to win. Sybil passed on in 2008. George is survived by his son, Stephen, BSc'75; daughters Margaret Fisher (Jack) and Johanne Sutton (Jim); six grandchildren; two great‑grandchildren; his sister, Marion Wheaton; and his cousin, Jerry Pladsen.

Q: How to avoid using reflections to create a new instance I have a Singleton class which is implemented with on-demand-holder initialization. According to this article, It is still vulnerable to the reflection attacks.
How can I prevent this from java reflections to invoke private constructor and create new instances?
This is my SingletonTest class:
class SingletonTest{
    public SingletonTest(){
        System.out.println("before SingletonTest()");
        Singleton s1 = Singleton.getSingleton();
        Singleton s2 = Singleton.getSingleton();

        System.out.printf("s1 Hash: %d\n",System.identityHashCode(s1));
        System.out.printf("s2 Hash: %d\n",System.identityHashCode(s2));

        Constructor<?> con = Singleton.class.getDeclaredConstructors()[1];
        con.setAccessible(true);

        //System.out.println(con.toString());

        try {
            Singleton s3 = (Singleton) con.newInstance();
            System.out.printf("s3 Hash: %d\n",System.identityHashCode(s3));
        } catch (Exception ex) {
           ex.printStackTrace();
        }

        System.out.println("after SingletonTest()");
    }

    public static void main(String[] args){
        new SingletonTest();
    }
}

This is my Singleton class:
final public class Singleton {
    private Singleton(){
        System.out.println("Singleton created...!");
    }

    public static Singleton getSingleton(){
        return SingletonHolder.INSTANCE;
    }

    static class SingletonHolder{
            private static final Singleton INSTANCE = new Singleton();
    }

    public void doStuff(){
        System.out.println("dostuff....");
    }

}

Output:
before SingletonTest()
Singleton created...!
s1 Hash: 1924489565
s2 Hash: 1924489565
Singleton created...!
s3 Hash: 294316734
after SingletonTest()

A: how about check and throw exception in constructor?
private Singleton(){
    if(SingletonHolder.INSTANCE !=null)
       throw new IllegalStateException("Not allowed!");
}

another possibility is, implement your singleton pattern with java Enum.
public enum Singleton {
    INSTANCE;
    public void doStuff(){...}

}

Q: Azure AD Premum Our client wants to migration 50,000 external users (guest accounts - Microsoft accounts) into its Azure AD directory. They already have about 300 internal users (sourced from local AD) in the directory using Office 365. They would really like to brand the login pages for a good external users sign-in experience however this seems to be an Azure AD premium (basic edition) feature. As there will be 50k external users i.e. Microsoft Accounts (guest accounts) in the directory their is a big concern over the price around this. E.g. £0.74p x 50000 = £37,000 per month. This seems crazy and we were thinking surely can't be right? Is it possible to provide some guidance clarity this.

A: Simple Answer:  Yes, licenses (Premium or Basic) is required for users to access Premium/Basic features.  The B2B licensing model for premium functionality is slightly different.  It's a 1:5 ratio for Premium features. You can read more about it here.
Per documentation:
Company branding is a feature that is available only if you upgraded to the Premium or Basic edition of Azure Active Directory, or are an Office 365 user. For more information, see Azure Active Directory editions.
Azure Active Directory Premium and Basic editions are available for customers in China using the worldwide instance of Azure Active Directory. Azure Active Directory Premium and Basic editions are not currently supported in the Microsoft Azure service operated by 21Vianet in China. reference


Who is in charge of your emotions? Is it you, or have you formed the unfortunate habit of letting other people—or stressful situations—determine the quality of your thoughts and the direction of your day? If you're wise—and if you'd like to build a better life for yourself and your loved ones—you'll learn to control your emotions before your emotions control you.
Human emotions are highly variable, decidedly unpredictable, and often unreliable. Our emotions are like the weather, only far more fickle. So we must learn to live by faith, not by the ups and downs of our own emotional roller coasters.
Sometime during this day, you will probably be gripped by a strong negative feeling. Distrust it. Reign it in. Test it. And turn it over to God. Your emotions will inevitably change; God will not. So trust Him completely as you watch those negative feelings slowly evaporate into thin air—which, of course, they will.

We decided to head to another beach, Anse De Colombier. It was only a short sail of 2.5 miles from Gustavia.
We slowly sailed out of Gustavia under Genoa and before we could get settled we turned East into a spectacular un-spoilt bay with crystal clear water, white sand and beautiful woodland surrounding us. It could not get better than this and approximately 10 minutes after anchoring we were swimming to the beach.
Anse De Colombier is very secluded. Yes, there are a fair share of anchored boats but no catamaran tours, jet skis and water skiers making it fairly quiet most of the time.
There are free moorings within the bay but if they are all taken you can anchor in the middle and move on to one when they become available. Again, we saw turtles and plenty of Star Fish.
The next day we decided to a bit of a hike. We would walk from Anse De Colombier to Anse De Flamandes, which is situated on the northern side of the island. The walk was great with stunning scenery and parts of it sheltered be trees so you could cool down during the walk. After about 30 minutes we reached a more developed area with posh houses and hotels. We found Anse De Flamandes a great location . At one end of the beach is a luxury hotel, which we decided to visit for an iced coffee before swimming in the enormous rolling waves that was were brought in by the northerly swell. It was a great day out and good to be finally off the boat for a day.

Thank you Rob. I have removed the Rod Stewart hair cut and back to the 'London Look'.
I hope you are well and thank you for the comment.

Why change In GRE postponed until
The ETS, which contemplating the change in GRE, even announced the date of implementation once again given the relief of shy to the students by delaying its implementation for exactly a year. The highly anticipated and complex changes to the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) will begin in October 2007 rather than October 2006, a whole year later in the fall of 2007, company officials announce last week. Another wave of changes has swept over the Graduate Record Examination according to the Educational Testing Service, which, beginning in October 2006 delayed until October 2007, will affect the approximately 400,000 U.
S. students who take the test annually. "It will undergo its biggest overhaul from October 2007 in the 57 years of GRE history. ETS believes the delay will better serve test takers and graduate institutions across the country as ETS transitions from the current computer- and paper-based forms of the test to the new Internet-based (iBT) version.
"The higher education and graduate communities are excited about the revised GRE," explains Mari Pearlman, Senior Vice President of ETS's Higher Education Division. "They worked with us to create this revised test, and they are looking forward to using this test. The new launch schedule will enable us to complete the expansion of our Internet-based testing operations worldwide." The change was announced last year, but details have not been released until now. These changes will impact important aspects of the test such as score range; the type of questions asked how the officials will evaluate the scores, and more.
Madeline Hamblin, director of the Office of Graduate Affairs at the University, said that the delay was sensible. "I think it was a good move," she said. "It would not be wise to start a new test before test centers were set up." Test development, design and field testing will continue for the new GRE test. The new iBT delivery platform is already being used to deliver the innovative new Test of English as a Foreign Language? (TOEFL®) exam worldwide.
ETS plans to improve student access to its tests by adding thousands of testing sites worldwide in the next two years. The GRE exam measures critical thinking, analytical writing, verbal reasoning, and quantitative reasoning skills that have been acquired over a long period of time and are not related to any specific field of study. Changes to the exam included: greater emphasis on higher cognitive skills and less dependence on vocabulary, expansion of computer based tasks, on-screen four-function calculators with square root features, and more focused questions to ensure analytical writing. Highlights of Changes which ETS Considering: >>> The new GRE General Test will be slightly over four hours long, an increase from the current two-and-a-half-hour exam. It will also no longer be offered in a computer-adaptive format, where the difficulty of the test is determined by the test taker's right or wrong answers. Instead, it will be offered in a linear format, in which every student takes the same exam.
>>> Unlike the current exam, each version of the revised GRE General Test will be used only once, and no test takers will encounter the same questions on different dates. Instead of continuous testing, the exam will be given 29 times a year worldwide. The number of administrations in any given region will depend on the test volumes in that region.
>>> The revised GRE General Test will be administered in the ETS global network of Internet-based test centers and through Thomson Prometric, the world's largest computer-based testing network. Changes in the Verbal and Quantitative Score Scales The new score scales will have 40-50 scale points. The scales will increase in one-point increments and will be centered between 120 and 179.
The actual score ranges will be finalized in 2006 based on field test results. >>> A concordance table to compare old and new Verbal and Quantitative scores will be available. >>> The analytical writing section will continue to be scored using a six-point holistic scale. 'These changes are intended to make the GRE General Test a more accurate gauge of how qualified prospective students are to do graduate-level work," David Payne, Executive Director of the GRE Program in ETS' Higher Education Division explained recently to the Signal.
"We'll also offer more interpretive information to graduate deans and faculty, including providing access to test takers' essay responses on the Analytical Writing section." Have a Question ? Ask Now .

En fantastisk Route 66 upplevelse - men inget ingår!
Sant Route 66 upplevelse, rummen är mycket lik den måste ha gått 50 år sedan. Sängarna var bekväma, rummet var rent, och rummet är större än du förväntar dig. Vi tittade även ett avsnitt av den Lone Ranger! Kumar, var mycket trevlig. Ett stort historiskt stopp.
Söt wigwams, bekväma nog, men mannen som sköter the office is BERZERK.
The very comfortable living area of our room.
What is the age requirement to purchase?
How late will I be allowed to check in? Is the front desk open 24 hours? We will be arriving around 11pm.
I definitely would suggest making reservations and when you do that tell them you will be there until around 11 P.M.
How much is the filming permit?
If you are just going to take photos around the property, then you don't need a permit. If you are going to work on a film Project, you will have to talk to the owner about that.
What is the age requirement to reserve a room here?
You may want to email hotel directly to find out.
10 am might be the earliest you can get a room here....housekeeping starts around 9 am. If there are empty rooms, they may or may not charge extra for early check-in.


Being flash frozen is already a standard industry practice that has been happening for years. How else would you be able to get your fresh fish, it would be nearly impossible to get it to America and keep it fresh? If you had seen the documentary Jiro you would see that even he buys frozen fish. It's also a safeguard to kill off any worms that may be present which is a risk if it's never been flash frozen.
The quality of the fish doesn't really degrade if it is handled properly and flash freezing doesn't burst the cell walls which cause water to burst out thus losing juices.
Got it – it does make sense. I know that legally, all sushi in America must be frozen at some point. However I didn't realize it was an industry practice worldwide; in America I feel like we sometimes think of things as fresh vs. frozen, which isn't the right way of thinking.
You should check out Kyubey in Ginza for sushi. Go during lunch instead of dinner (pretty much the same menu at half the price).
Ippudo is good, but my favorite was Roppongi….probably not worth going out of your way if you've already gone to Marunouchi.
MOS Burger is just a Japanese fast food chain. Don't think they have any locations in the U.S. anymore. Worth stopping in for a quick snack, if you pass one.
Gotcha. Given I'll be here a while, I do want to go back to Ippudo so I'll probably check another location.
Stumbled upon a MOS burger today too! I'll keep it in mind..

Artists and Naturalists at Acadia' Launches MDI Biological Laboratory's Art Meets Science Café Series
Ellen Church, "Acadian Song." All images provided by Stefanie Matteson
Author Catherine Schmitt Will Discuss the Connections Between Art and Science on Mount Desert Island in the 19th Century
BAR HARBOR, MAINE – The MDI Biological Laboratory will kick off its 2016 series of Art Meets Science Cafés on Monday, June 20, at 5 p.m. with a presentation entitled "A History of Scientists and Artists Working Together in Acadia" by Catherine Schmitt, an environmental scientist and author.
Schmitt's presentation is an ideal choice for the first of six 2016 Art Meets Science Cafés that will be held at the laboratory this summer because her subject reflects the theme of the MDI Biological Laboratory's annual summer Art Meets Science exhibition, "A Fresh Field of Life: Artists, Naturalists and the Vision for Acadia."
Donald Rainville, "Vivaldi Summer"
Schmitt will explore the role of naturalists working in region at the same time, and sometimes in partnership with, 19th century artists. The popularity of 19th century landscape paintings has been credited with stimulating interest in Mount Desert Island as a tourist destination. But the role of the early naturalists is less well known.
"The paintings, sketches, prints, maps and photographs that accompanied scientific reports contributed to the promotion of Mount Desert Island as a tourist attraction and to the public understanding of scientific principles," Schmitt said. Indeed, the founders of the park envisioned it as a laboratory for the observance of nature. One of the founders, George B. Dorr, helped realize this vision by establishing the MDI Biological Laboratory on Mount Desert Island in 1921. The title of the Art Meets Science exhibit, "A Fresh Field of Life," is drawn from remarks he made in 1916:
"…what a splendid and useful thing it would be if we could provide down here, in a spot so full of biologic interest and unsolved biologic problems, so rich in various beauty and locked around by the cool northern sea, a summer home, however simple, for [scientists] … to work on a fresh field of life, bird or plant or animal …," he said.
The exhibit will include observations by artists on nature -- from Acadia's scenery to the microscopic world of molecular biology. One of the goals is to highlight the how the two disciplines share processes of observation, discovery and experimentation, as well as the drive to communicate a deeper understanding of the natural world.
Schmitt is the author of "Historic Acadia National Park, The Stories Behind One of America's Great Treasures" (Lyons Press), a collection of true stories about the history of the park that was released this spring. Copies of her book will be available for sale at the event.
The Art Meets Science Cafés will be held every other Monday from June 20 to Sept. 19 (see mdibl.org/events for dates and topics) in the Kinne Library at the MDI Biological Laboratory. The Art Meets Science exhibit will open at 4:15 p.m. on the day of Schmitt's presentation and will be available for viewing at 4:15 p.m. at all future cafés.
The MDI Art Meets Science Cafés are offered by the MDI Biological Laboratory in fulfillment of its mission to increase public engagement with science. The Art Meets Science Cafés and the Art Meets Science exhibit are free and open to the public.
The MDI Biological Laboratory, located in Bar Harbor, Maine, is an independent, non-profit biomedical research institution focused on increasing healthy lifespan and increasing our natural ability to repair and regenerate tissues damaged by injury or disease. The institution develops solutions to complex human health problems through research, education and ventures that transform discoveries into cures. For more information, please visit mdibl.org.

At Johns Hopkins, the Committee Letter is part of a "Committee Packet," that includes the Committee Letter as well as individual letters of recommendation. The Committee Letter presents a composite of the applicant's accomplishments, individual strengths, attributes and competencies.
Applicants to medical or dental school who are current students or alumni of the Whiting School of Engineering or the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences at Johns Hopkins, and who have met the requirements stated below, are eligible to receive a Committee Letter from the Health Professions Committee of the Office of Pre-Professional Programs and Advising.
Comply with the HPCA submission deadlines as established by the Pre-Professional Office.
Meet with a pre-professional advisor on at least one occasion prior to the HPCA submission deadlines established by the Pre-Professional Office.
Be scheduled to or have completed their undergraduate education at Johns Hopkins University.
Have completed a minimum of four premedical and/or advanced science courses (i.e., Cell Biology, Genetics, Comparative Animal Physiology) at Homewood. This does not include AP coursework.
Current students or alumni of the Whiting School of Engineering or the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences at Johns Hopkins who have not met the requirements for a Committee Letter are advised to delay their applications to address their missing requirements. Please plan to meet with a pre-professional advisor to discuss the resolutions of your ineligibility.
Please note: Once you have matriculated to a health profession school (medical, dental, etc., whether US or foreign), you are no longer able to utilize the services of the Committee. You are thereby ineligible for a Committee Letter and the Committee is no longer able to forward any letters of evaluation stored in veCollect.
Applicants who are otherwise eligible for a Committee Letter should not attempt to apply to medical or dental programs without first obtaining a Committee Letter, as some medical and dental schools state a preference for receiving a Committee Letter when the applicant's undergraduate institution offers this service. Therefore, intentionally circumventing our committee process will likely negatively impact your application to medical and dental programs.
If the petition is approved, their letters of evaluation stored in veCollect, along with a cover letter explaining the Hopkins Committee Letter eligibility requirements, will be forwarded to the schools where the applicant applies in lieu of a Committee Letter.
Petitions to the Johns Hopkins Health Professions Committee should be 1-2 paragraphs, addressing the reasons for the applicant's ineligibility for a Committee Letter, and explaining why an exception to the eligibility requirements should be made. The petition should be submitted in writing to preprofessional@jhu.edu with "Health Professions Committee Petition" in the subject line of the message.


Linda Ronstadt surprised Dolly Parton by appearing with Emmylou Harris to present her with the 2019 MusiCares Person of the Year honor Friday night in Los Angeles.
Though she's no longer able to sing because of Parkinson's disease, Ronstadt seemed to look and feel good, according to Billboard, even laughing when Dolly accidentally dropped her award on her foot.
Garth Brooks, who did "Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You," with wife Trisha Yearwood, explains it's not necessarily easy to recreate the Dolly catalog.
Jennifer Nettles teamed up with Cam and Margo Price to recreate "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind," one of the songs Dolly, Linda and Emmylou recorded for their Trio projects.
Dolly in turn was touched by the evening's performances, delivering an eight-minute acceptance speech that was peppered with her signature humor.
Dolly herself closed the show doing "Coat of Many Colors" with Linda Perry, her collaborator on the new Dumplin' soundtrack.
In all, the evening raised $6.7 million for MusiCares, the Recording Academy's charitable arm that helps members of the music community in times of need.

Home Evaluation Equipment A home examiner in the UK (or a lot more specifically in England as well as Wales), was an inspector licensed to execute the House Problem Records that, it was originally anticipated would certainly be included in the House Info Load.
What To Offer On A Residence 2015 Personal Effects. Anything thats not affixed to the home is personal effects and also youll need to bargain for it. You require to write it into your offer if you don't recognize whether its personal property or not.
What To Deal On A House In Today's Market One more alternative is to make numerous proposals based on how many people are contending for a home. Make a reduced proposal on a house if you're the only prospective buyer, a Scottdale proposal if there are only 2 or three other purchasers and a high proposal on a residence with multiple prospective buyers.
There is not one typical residence assessment that applies everywhere. Normally, the inspector will do a non-invasive check of a home. Inspections should include crucial parts of a residence like the warm water heating system, heating system, air conditioning unit, general pipes, sewage systems, and the roofing and also foundation. You can ask the inspector if he or she can include it in the evaluation if you have certain issues regarding a home that you desire to buy.
Making An Offer On A Residence Canada If youre financing your house purchase through a GA or FHA finance, youll need to schedule a separate appraisal with one of your home loan backers authorized appraisers. These appraisals wont inform you whatever that a house assessor would, however they will check for security and also hygiene basics, like termites, architectural integrity and water drain.
What To Offer On A House With An Overview Price Appraisal cost - This is payable in advance. The mortgagee has to make certain the building is worth the amount of money you are obtaining, they will certainly schedule a valuer to look at the residential or commercial property, yet you need to spend for the benefit. An evaluation is not a study.
Before searching for any kind of house - consisting of repossessions - it is very important for you to produce a wish list of the features that you desire in your brand-new house or financial investment residential or commercial property. Often when we are in the center of the home purchasing procedure, we can easily get distracted and become so narrowly focused on buying a residential or commercial property that we can forget to earn sure that the residence has the features we prefer.
