Fish Tale Mike went fishing one day, but at the end he had not caught a single fish. On the way back home, he stopped at a fish store. “I want to buy three trout, please,” he said to the owner. “But instead of putting them in a bag, can you throw them to me one at a time?” “Throw them? Why do you want me to do that?” the owner asked. Mike replied: “So I can tell everyone that I caught three fish!”

Is this the 'perfect' wildlife photo? Bald Eagle. Photo: Kevin Ebi. Professional Honourable Mention: A bald eagle and red fox tussle over a rabbit in San Juan Island national historical park, Washington. 2019 An eagle carrying a rabbit 'carrying' a fox, a red-winged black bird's inspired song and a sage-grouse bird battle are among the exceptional photos that won Audubon's Photography Awards for 2019. The winning images were selected from more than 2,200 entries from the United States and Canada and are an exceptional show of the wonder and beauty of birds. "Birds make fascinating subjects, as the winners and honourable mentions of this year’s contest make clear," the organisers explain. "They’re at once beautiful and resilient, complex and comical. It's no wonder why we love them so."

OK, let us stay focused on the keyboard shortcuts. But just a quickie, as for locked files, what is "locked." Is that simply setting it as "read only?" It is obvious in Mac what "locked" is. In Windows, under Properties, there is not locking, but you can accomplish that by making it read only or setting the permissions individually for different things and users. Read only, not lock. Mine was not st as read only. Locking was not the issue, it was that another function was using it. I would not want to lock it so that function did not work, if I don't even know what that function is - not if locking means that function cannot even use it! I might want that function, or even need it. The read only on mine was set via the permission, rather than globally. I am suspecting that by "lock" they are talking of making it read only by global setting. BTW, there were recommendations on Google to set it as Read only globally for the hosts file as a security measure to prevent any other person from editing it. And that is how my edited version was automatically changed to, and I have decided to leave it as that, can change that if and when I want. But, back to fixing the keyboard shortcuts.

OK, I'm downloading that. All I see is it says about unlocking files. I know how to do that. I know a lot of this stuff. But if you prefer videos, OK. I understand all you said before. The problem was not that, it was that something was running my hosts file, so I could not overwrite it. I got around that by booting in safe mode. Will check out the video. EDIT: Oh, your video is still dealing with the hosts file. Its done, all edited, the driver application installed, no new driver for keyboard, already have the most up to date one. All that is done, but unfortunately, it did not solve the problem as there is no better driver available. I'm surprised you made the video, I sent you the message about the progress this morning.

BTW, I just had an idea that it might be worthwhile to test the keyboard shortcuts while booted in safe mode. So, I tried that. No, they still did not work. So, that's one more thing checked. I also tried after unplugging my USB mouse (I hate trackpads). That made no difference, so its not a conflict with that. That's the only "device" I have plugged into the machine regularly. Seems to me this must be a software issue, as long as the keys otherwise work. The keyboard isn't doing the shortcut, its simply saying two keys have been held down. If both keys work, the rest is software. And all the keys on the keyboard work.

Food Photographer of the Year 2019 Food Photographer of the Year 2019: Noodle feast scoops top prize Chinese photographer Jianhui Liao has been named as the overall winner of the Food Photographer of the Year 2019 contest.Liao's photo (above), entitled Cauldron Noodles, shows a celebration of the goddess Nuwa in Shexian County in the Hebei Province, China. As part of the annual festivity, villagers wear Qing Dynasty costumes to celebrate Nuwa's birthday and eat pots of noodles at noon. Competition adjudicator Andy Macdonald presented Liao with the £5,000 prize money. Macdonald said of the image: "It stood out from the rest in its category for the way in which [Liao] made the subject matter, a community feast, so beautiful and atmospheric. "The competition was fierce, there were 9,000 images entered from 77 countries - more entries and more countries than ever before - and the standard was phenomenal."

Gorillas Perfect Their Selfie Style Two gorillas have been snapped apparently mimicking human behaviour, in a remarkable selfie with a park ranger who helped rescue them as babies. The photo, taken by a worker at Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo, swiftly went viral after being shared on Facebook. "Another day at the office..." Mathieu Shamavu wrote alongside the image, which has been shared more than 20,000 times. Female gorillas Ndakazi and Ndeze appear to be naturals in front of the camera; one stands proudly in a power pose with her feet wide apart, while the other leans forward to make it into the shot. "Those gorilla gals are always acting cheeky so this was the perfect shot of their true personalities," Virunga National Park wrote on Instagram. "Also, it's no surprise to see these girls on their two feet either -- most primates are comfortable walking upright (bipedalism) for short bursts of time," it added. The park, which stretches along the northeast region of the country, is home to 22 primate species, including three great apes. It's estimated that 1,000 mountain gorillas inhabit the site. More than 600 rangers work to safeguard wildlife at the park, a 3,000-square-mile site that has frequently seen violence and outbreaks of conflict. Several rangers have been killed there, and two Britons were kidnapped on the site last year.

Head over heels for you An incredible photograph shows the moment a remarkably acrobatic cheetah performs a somersault to catch a fleeing impala - dragging the fierce feline with it when in the Masai Mara National Reserve, in Kenya. A professional photographer, captured the airborne fight between predator and prey just seconds before the impala was caught by the large cat.
