I have long been a fan of sentence combining activities as a meaningful and effective way of improving students' writing skills. Since the 1960's, research studies have shown that sentence combining is an effective way to teach grammar to students in elementary through college levels and improves student writing. This is especially so for students who struggle with writing. The Writing Next report (2007) based on Graham and Perin's meta-analysis of writing instruction research, identified sentence combining as one of the eleven most effective instructional practices for improving the writing of students in grades 4-12 Sentence Combining https://keystoliteracy.com/blog/sentence-combining/
How to Combine Sentences Effectively
Rules for Combining Sentences (includes grade levels)
Evaluating Sentence CombinationsAfter combining a set of sentences in a variety of ways, you should take the time to evaluate your work and decide which combinations you like and which ones you don't. You may do this evaluation on your own or in a group in which you will have a chance to compare your new sentences with those of others. In either case, read your sentences out loud as you evaluate them: how they sound to you can be just as revealing as for how they look.
Here are six basic qualities to consider when you evaluate your new sentences:
- Meaning. As far as you can determine, have you conveyed the idea intended by the original author?
- Clarity. Is the sentence clear? Can it be understood on the first reading?
- Coherence. Do the various parts of the sentence fit together logically and smoothly?
- Emphasis. Are keywords and phrases put in emphatic positions (usually at the very end or at the very beginning of the sentence)?
- Conciseness. Does the sentence clearly express an idea without wasting words?
- Rhythm. Does the sentence flow, or is it marked by awkward interruptions? Do the interruptions help to emphasize key points (an effective technique), or do they merely distract (an ineffective technique)?Introduction to Sentence Combining https://www.thoughtco.com/an-introduction-to-sentence-combining-169242

Advantages Of Choosing A Domestic Services Search Engine Optimization Agency Instead Of Internal Employees
One of the harder decisions a company or organization owner generally needs to make is choosing an external Domestic Services SEO firm or an internal full-time SEO director/manager/staff member. As a premier Domestic Services SEO company, we encourage people looking to work with in-house search engine optimization personnel to team up with us for their digital marketing objectives.
In-house SEO can be defined as SEO operations that are carried out within an organization by a specialized team or a specialist in charge of internal SEM.
Here are the reasons to consider when evaluating Domestic Services Internet Marketing help:
In-House Domestic Services SEM Is Very Expensive
Indeed.com bills the typical annual Domestic Services SEO wage to be approximately $76,000. The salary is just a little part of the employment process. Also, consider interviewing and training the prospect, if not supplying medical and other benefits. This also include the expenses associated with running SEO campaigns.
A search engine optimization agency Domestic Services is likely to generate much better results while costing about the same amount of money or less than an in-house staff member. However, as previously stated, the cost by itself shouldn't be the main factor for this important decision. The potential outcomes are extremely essential as well.
Internal Search Engine Optimization Professionals for Domestic Services Often Don't Have the Experience Necessary
It's highly likely that a single SEO employee won't have the total skills to manage the whole internal marketing cycle of a company.
There are three categories that SEO staff members should concentrate on:
- Technical SEO for Domestic Services
- Website Domestic Services Search Engine Optimization
- Backlink SEO for Domestic Services
Technical SEO includes fine-tuning a site so that it runs quickly and efficiently.
On-site SEO needs extensive understanding about optimizing content in order to boost a website's rankings in Google. A savvy on-site SEO employee focuses on lots of functions, consisting of:
- Keyword phrase research study
- Enhancing meta tags
- Repairing 404 problems
- Keeping a proper keyword density in short articles
- Developing interesting meta descriptions
Link-building SEO includes building backlinks, evaluating and changing a site's link profile and avoiding backlink penalties.
Full Time Domestic Services SEO Professionals May Not Be Required
A Domestic Services SEO company determines SEO-related issues, then repairs them. An internal SEO department needs to consistently search for issues to repair, or else they might run out a job. Choosing an SEO expert that prepares to repair particular SEO issues is typically cheaper than employing a full-time in-house SEO worker.
A Singular In-House Domestic Services Search Engine Optimization Professional May Not Have The Ability To Craft a Thorough Solution
Search optimization agencies for Domestic Services have more experience working with a large range of business. This gives them the capability to create a broad approach that addresses several potential issues. Typically, an internal SEO department can get tunnel vision and only works on a couple of specific problems, which causes poor outcomes.
Internal Internet Marketing Employees Frequently Can't Correct Serious Challenges Like A SEO Agency Domestic Services
In-house SEO departments usually don't have the budget that a firm should have. This leads to the internal SEO group searching for quick-fix services, or not investing the required energy and time to fix problems. A Domestic Services SEO company has a great deal of experience fixing large issues, and companies are prepared to handle significant problems from the beginning.
Domestic Services SEO Agencies Provide Deeper Understanding
An internal SEO department typically deals with the exact same website for a long duration of time, and this results in the employee feeling worn out using methods that do not produce the very best outcomes. An SEO firm for Domestic Services sees the site for the very first time and having a fresh set of eyes; taking a look at the issue usually results in innovative options that create fantastic outcomes.
A Domestic Services SEO Agency Should be Able to Give a Second Opinion
Lots of people in the SEO industry butt heads on how to approach SEO issues. An in-house SEO group chooses a technique that they believe in and adhere to it. Nevertheless, a Domestic Services SEO professional normally recommends a strategy with their distinct insights. This is typically the distinction in between decent and exceptional SEO results.
Outcomes are Typically Less Problematic When Contracting a Domestic Services Search Engine Optimization Agency
A Domestic Services internet marketing pro like Sapid Agency has external resources that internal SEO staff members do not. In addition, an SEO company typically has individuals that focus on particular jobs, such as keyword planning, backlinking methods and {on-site|on-page|website) SEO optimization.
Due to the fact that the company has individuals that concentrate on specific parts, they're most likely to do a much better job than an internal SEO team that has a couple of people trying to do everything themselves. For this reason, our SEO expert Domestic Services can scale up efforts to deal with bigger issues, while an in-house SEO department is generally dealing with minimal resources. Finally, this means that our Domestic Services SEO firm is typically able to supply much quicker results than an internal SEO department.

Beauty and the Beast Movie
Beauty and the Beast: Depiction of eternal love story of a beauty and a beast with fabulous production
Beauty and the Beast has everything from the special effects to costumes and from voice-overs to songs first rated. It is a classic fairy-tale story and it doesn't matter whether you like Disney princesses and their tales as you'll fall in love with Belle the princess in this movie. But don't get afraid from the beast and don't take him as a beast as he's a fairly handsome prince turned into a beast by an enchantress.
It is long story and could have been told many times but Bill Condon and his team is all set to take you to a journey into the past where there are castles, verdant greenery and talking candelabra and mantel clock. They all are castles enchanting staff and you'll become fan of each and every staff turned into household objects by the enchantress. For voice-over of the castle staff, Condon took finest actors including Ewan McGregor, Ian McKellen, Emma Thompson and Stanley Tucci.
Performance of Dan Stevens as the best is decent if not memorable and Emma Watson looks real in the role of Belle. Stevens has got a terrifying CGI makeover but it is needed to give the necessary thrust to the role Stevens is playing. The third important character is of a hare-brained Romeo who is in love with Belle and wants to get her attention at any cost is played by a promising actor Luke Evans. Also Kevin Kline looks responsible in the role of Belle's father.
What makes Beauty and the Beast stand out from other movies is its significance. It is still relevant and no matter how old the story is or how many times the story has been told. Beauty and the Beast story looks new from every point. But the depiction of the love story between Belle and the Beast isn't as good as the grandeur of this spectacular production is.
Beauty and the Beast first look and poster
The poster has got a bookish look. The beauty and the beast are shown back-to-back with Watson holding a red rose and Stevens in his terrifying outfit. Below are other characters and they are surrounding door of the castle where the beast lives. The poster has got a fairy look. It is deep blue in color and name of the movie is written with silver color in the middle of the poster. It is giving a feel of the story.
Why watch the movie?
It is an enchanting story told many times and in different ways. Beauty and the Beast also has the same story but it is different. You'll appreciate the idea of talking utensils and other household items. Also you'll like the Romeo and his one-sided love.
• Ryan Gosling turned down the offer of Beast in the movie for La La Land and Emma Watson turned down a lucrative offer from La La Land to work in Beauty and the Beast
• The film took 18 months to come to cinema halls after filming is complete
• Emma Watson announced her selection as Belle even before she was officially hired
• Disney claims that the first teaser of the movie received 91.8 million views

On 20 December the European Commission published is draft directive on transparent and predictable working conditions to replace the Written Statement Directive. The initial response from the ETUC is to welcome the requirement on employers to provide information to workers on day one and to extend this right to a range of atypical workers. There are also positive measures related to training, prohibition periods, protection of trade union reps and the rights of flexible workers. However, the ETUC wants to see additional measures to tackle the worst forms of precarious employment, particularly for workers on zero-hours contracts.

After trying its hand at selling grocery items through its 'Amazon Fresh' service in the U.S. and the U.K., American retail giant Amazon is now believed to be planning to launch grocery stores in India as part of its growing interest in brick-and-mortar retail that includes the ongoing rollout of its physical book stores across the U.S. According to a recent report from The New York Times, the Seattle, Washington-based e-commerce giant is also apparently considering physical retail stores to sell furniture and home appliances – two categories of products that people are said to be reluctant to buy online. The stores, according to the sources cited by NYT, would basically showcase the products to customers, allowing them to explore the items in person before deciding to pull the trigger.
According to recent reports in the Indian media, Amazon has already sought permission from the Indian government to invest about $500 million towards online retail of food products in the country under a new policy from the federal government that allows 100% FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in online marketing of food products that are produced and packaged in India. If and when the regulatory approval does come through, the online retail giant is expected to open its first physical grocery store in the country in the southern city of Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore). The initiative is reportedly code-named 'Project Everest' internally within Amazon, according to the NYT report, which also states that the company is "excited by the Indian government's efforts to encourage foreign investment in a stronger supply chain".
Amazon may have taken its own sweet time in rolling out its 'Prime' streaming services in India, but the company's founder and CEO, Mr. Jeff Bezos, has been extremely bullish on India in recent times, announcing a further investment of around $3 billion last year, in addition to the $2 billion the company is already believed to have poured into the country thus far. It will be interesting to see how the company's offline retail plans turn out in the years ahead, but with its online streaming services earning more subscribers with every passing year and its drone delivery services continuing to make news fairly regularly, the world's largest e-commerce firm is certainly not looking to rest on its laurels any time soon.

text: Edward M Posted January 27, 2012 Completely by chance I was offered initiation qi transmission for pan gu shen gong the other day. I accepted as i have had the book on it for 15 years and it is supposed to be good for heart problems. Anyway, got the transmission yesterday and can really feel it. Been doing some research on Pan Gu. It seems he is the Chinese version of Adam from the old testament. When you practice this qigong you are supposed to silently count to 26 through out the practice. Researching 26 it is the number of Yahweh in the old testament and also corresponds with iron. Iron corresponds with Mars otherwise known as a god of war and also man or masculine energy, as does Iron. You have to recite passwords to receive gong before you start the movements. Anybody got any experience with this practice? The founder of it Ou Wen Wei says he channelled it and the energy by 'negotiating' with a supernatural energy. I actually knew none of this before i agreed to receive the transmission. Not that i'm saying i would not have agreed, just would have considered and researched so more before doing so. Any thoughts?

The Mission
When I was younger, I saw a movie "The Mission" it was starred by none other than Robert De Niro. Till now, this is one of the most intriguing and I can say heartbreaking and heartwarming movie I've watched. It deserves more than two thumbs up!!
It was a man's journey to forgiveness and his way of making amends to what he's done in the past.
Have you watched any good movies worth remembering?
You know I have a crush on Robert De Niro. I am fond of watching his old movies because it really inspires me to see his handsome face. I even bought a book about him because he has lots of pictures there when he was young. I haven't seen this movie.
One of the movie, which is never left me hanging and even failed me to blink is the movie The Next Three Days. It stars Russell Crows and Elizabeth Banks. Elizabeth Banks were accused in the crime she did not commit and his husband, Rusell Crow did everything for her to escape jail because she knows she will not be given a fair trial.
This is the trailer of the movie. The Next Three Days
I learned that the Mission is a winner of Cannes Festival during 1986, wow and I saw the trailer too.
I know the movie the next few three days it is one of my favorite movies as well. It is exceptionally made. You should try watching the mission, you won't be disappointed. Also Shawshank redemption.
I have not seen The Mission but it sounds like a really good movie. I like Robert De Niro. He is a very good actor and the movies that I have seen him are good. The Shawshank Redemption is another good movie. I love Morgan Freeman. I love all his movies that I have seen him in. I watched one last week that was a little different from his usual roles but I cannot remember what it was called now.
Last night, I watched some old horror movies, but they were not scary though so that is probably why I liked them. The one was an Edgar Allen Poe story that starred Vincent Price and it was called The Pit and The Pendulum. The other one that I watched was Dimentia 13 which was about a serial killer in Ireland that was targeting his family members. I liked it. I love to watch old movies. Sometimes, I find them better than the ones they make now.
I've seen the Pit and the pendulum by Allen Poe, I've read it when I was in High School. It was funny actually seeing the movie because it looks so fake. lol. Anyway, I'm a fan of really really really old movies – the ones with no sound in them (like Charlie Chaplin style..haha) I've seen a Joan of Ark movie earlier than the 1928 version of it. As well as other horror movies like Dracula and one other which I can no longer remember. It was fun to watch! Although there was no sound and you have to read the lines of the characters; it was like watching a play in a theatre. It was good.
Where do you find those kinds of films? Where do you watch? Give me the link to where I can download those. I am really interested! One of the good films I watch is Of Mice and Men. The one I shared to you guys The Next Three days, you should watch that too. The movie of Benjamin Button is good too, very interesting film.
I do remember this movie. It was excellent! Not only was the cast of performers all high caliber but the soundtrack was amazing. Remember Gabriel's Oboe?
It is one of the best movies that I have seen again and again on internet. How listen I have seen this movie several times since then and own it now but I am always very careful whom I see it with and when I see it. You need to have a block of time set aside when you can completely immerse yourself in this film. Unplug the phone, put the kids to bed, make sure the dog doesn't have to go out. If you don't pay attention – from the very beginning to right after the credits – you will miss something important. Prepare yourself emotionally for The Mission. Step into it, live it, let it speak to you. Feel the struggle of all involved.
I was one of the fortunate ones to see this movie in a theater back in the 80's – we were visiting friends in another city and, for lack of anything better to do that evening, decided to see this film. To say I was moved would be such an understatement as to be ridiculous. It is the saddest commentary on what horrors have been perpetrated in the name of God….
There is so many which anyone can in back some good mission and some bad mission they all mission, the mission you in back tells who you are neither good or bad. There so many other mission to spreed good news and the mission to spreed good, the mission to destroyed life and the mission to saved life, there is some which are on the mission to commit suicide, they are mission to bring someone in his or her company/ business, there is film called mission impossible but this is far off of what mission is or how it be decribed in time of expressions. Some many mission people excute this days which are not for interest of others, for politicans in back on the mission of killing their oppositions that is devilished mission, like me i don't really know the type of mission which God created you inback as long as you long still living in this earth, but remeber whatever kind of mission you are excuting don't forget a day will you render account on how your mission acomplished wether good or bad, neither you represent God almighty, or satan, be wise on type of mission you in back.
The worth remembering movie that I can't forget is "The Kite Runner." It is a film adaptation from a novel.I like the movie setting and the story.I think that most people cried while the movie is running.Thus, I strongly recommend it for those moviegoers out here and there.

There is not an inch of slack in this 16-minute solo.
Once in a blue moon, along comes a performance that makes you sit up and pay unwavering attention. Yukiko Masui's Unbox is one such. There is not an inch of slack in this 16-minute solo. The piece is ordered with inexorable logic. It opens in silence; progresses to the sound of a low electronic pulse; increases its densities of texture and rhythm; returns to silence. The stage is set with a sharp square of light, and shifts through ambiences with sidelights, washes and circular spots before returning to the square. Masui begins in a hoodie that shadows her face, and at each section peels off another layer: hoodie, top, t-shirt. If the framework grips, it's Masui's dancing that transfixes. She imparts the same electric clarity to tiny tremors as to explosive falls, the same intensity of poise and attack to tumbling spirals as to baring a forearm, or flicking her fingers. A riveting solo that deserves wider exposure.
With its hybrid dance style, clear lighting and atmospheric music enlivened with rhythm, Mountain Tsunami's Myth seems to aim for some similar qualities as Unbox, but falls far short by comparison. Shirtless Eden Collet begins like a dynamic shaolin monk, then sits cross-legged like some hunky buddha. Four figures snake towards him; choreographer David Waker takes up the sitting pose; there is some combative action among the three women. Though stylistically interesting, the work is sapped by its bland music, and its unfathomable story and symbolism.
Sean Graham's Foreign Bodies/RaceTracks is a series of broad-brushstroke, broadly comedic sketches on the subject of racial integration and competition in Britain. There's a potentially clever set-up here, with a white English host and a variety of people of immigrant origin as runners in his race. But its stock-types look like stereotypes, its references range too glibly from 1981 Brixton to 2014 Ferguson, by way of decolonisation and ebola, and its Union Jack just looks… dated. A high point: the ear-wincing scrape of a chair against the floor, showing just how grating the N-word feels.

Late last week Hawaiian Airlines announced that it would start non-stop flights between Boston and Honolulu starting in April 2019, making Boston the second (New York City was first) East Coast hub to receive non-stop service on Hawaiian Airlines. The flight will also be the new longest domestic flight route in the United States with flights from HA to MA taking a little more than 10 hours and flights from MA to HA taking just under 12 hours (5,095 miles) .
The airline cited the fact that Boston is the largest U.S. travel market that currently does not receive non-stop service to Hawaii as a reason for rolling out this new service. An estimated 500 people fly between New England and Hawaii (approximately 60,000 visitors annually), which translates into ~$76 million in ticket sales for flights between the two city airports last year.
From Boston to Honolulu: Hawaiian Airlines flight HA91 will depart Boston on Monday, Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday at 8:55am and will arrive in Honolulu at 2:35pm the same day. Friday flights will depart Boston at 8:00am and arrive in Honolulu at 1:40pm.
From Honolulu to Boston: Hawaiian Airlines flight HA90 will depart Honolulu on Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 1:45pm and arrive in Boston the following mornings at 6:00am.

The study, by the European-based GABRIEL consortium, identified several genetic variants that increase susceptibility to asthma in the population and scientists hope the findings will lead to the development of better therapies for the illness.
The GABRIEL consortium aims to identify the genetic and environmental causes of asthma in the European Community, in collaboration with groups in the UK, Canada and Australia.
The study group comprises 164 scientists in 19 countries from 23 different research groups, including The University of Western Australia's Clinical Associate Professor Alan James, Dr Jennie Hui, Clinical Professor Bill Musk and Adjunct Professor John Beilby.
The researchers examined DNA samples from 10,000 children and adults with asthma, and 16,000 non-asthmatics to pinpoint differences in genetic code. In total, the consortium carried out more than half a million genetic tests on each subject, covering all genes in the human genome.
Professor James said the study had discovered several new genes that predisposed people to asthma.
"Some of these genes are in pathways that tell the immune system when the lining of the airways has been damaged. Other genes may control the rate of healing of the airways after they have been injured," he said.
The GABRIEL team also looked at the genes which control levels of antibodies that cause allergies, known as Immunoglobulin E or IgE.
"Surprisingly, these genes did not have much effect on the presence of asthma, and the asthma genes had little effect on the levels of Immunoglobulin E. This means that the allergies which accompany many cases of asthma are likely to be a consequence of the asthma rather its cause," Professor James said.
"Asthma has often been considered a single disease, but our genetic findings suggest that childhood-onset asthma may differ biologically from asthma that is acquired in adult life."
The GABRIEL scientists found that the newly discovered genetic variants affected more than a third of children with asthma in their study, and that the genes had strong effects in cases of severe asthma. They suggested that concentrating on these genes would eventually lead to better therapies for the illness.
The scientists identified that environmental factors were very important in causing asthma to develop and the GABRIEL consortium continues to work on identifying environmental exposures that could protect against the illness.
The research was published in September in The New England Journal of Medicine.

Dream on
by Jullie Y. Daza
Every president who is called upon to deliver a State-of-the-Nation Address is essentially painting a dream and asking his or her people to work and help achieve that dream. After six SONAs of each and every president, what do we remember of their speeches but a few punchy lines, one or two quotable quotes, the rest being a fog of words and sentences?
Like rating a fortune-teller after his forecast of the New Year's foreseeable gains and losses, only the most dedicated pundit and oppositionist would bother to record what was reported in the latest SONA and later, at an appropriate time, to bring it up as a set of pluses and minuses, mostly the latter, against the speaker. Under circumstances the other presidential candidates in 2016 might not have foreseen, this President is now forced to be the fightingest Chief Executive and Commander-in-Chief. After Marawi, he has promised to end the NPA's attacks on government forces and civilians; the dream comes at a high cost.
Now, more than ever, the flag's symbols must be understood and defended with more vigor by the young and ablebodied, every citizen who professes to love their country not only because it's the only one they've got but because it's their homeland and cradle of their dreams. (During the presidential campaign, only the candidate from Davao posed with the flag, conspicuously, for his propaganda materials.)
A few days ago, balladeer Anthony Castelo announced at a party that his best friend, Freddie Aguilar, is now the presidential assistant for culture and the arts. Freddie, father of the universal song hit "Anak," almost won an appointment as head of the National Commission on Culture and the Arts, until critics who have never written a song or lyric or performed in an arts festival shouted it down. Today, Freddie's dream, one I happen to share, is to change the last line, a defeatist one, of the national anthem, "Ang mamatay nang dahil sa iyo" (To die for you, beloved country).
Freddie knows the power of words – have you heard the lyrics of Anak? – and he believes that that line should revert to the old version, "Lupa ay langit sa piling mo" (My country in heaven's embrace). Now, that's a dream young and old, high and low, can own.

Midnight weekend screenings happen on Friday & Saturday nights (meaning arrive on Friday and/or Saturday night by 11:45pm for seating, the movie starts after midnite)!
Run Time: 70 min.
Sexism is built into the fabric of classical ballet, an art form that has idolized women in toe shoes and tutus while relegating men to the role of partners. Director Scott Gormley explores the difficult subjects of bullying and homophobia that those men face while illustrating the vitality of ballet, through performance, creation, preservation and education.

Update: Microsoft is pushing out a new Windows 10 Insider preview build 15014 for PC and mobile build 10.0.15014.1000. The latest Windows 10 Creators Update (Redstone 2) PC build 15014 is now rolling out for fast ring insiders.
Previously, Microsoft released Windows 10 PC and Mobile build 15007 for insiders. If you're facing issues with the latest build, read here for work around.
New in Windows 10 Build 15014.1000
E-book in Windows 10 Creators Update (PC & Mobile): Insiders with build 15014 in the U.S. can now purchase e-books from the Windows Store and read them in Microsoft Edge.
Lighter shade for Cortana's search box: Cortana search box now comes with a new lighter shade look on the taskbar.
Bigger text in notifications for Cortana: Cortana's voice in notifications and Action Center is now a bit larger and uses the accent color.
Pick new custom accent color (PC): Windows 10 Insider build 15014 comes with a new custom color option to Colors Settings. You can now select any color or use the color picker and preview your options. Members can also click "more" and enter the RGB, HSV, or HEX color code. Additionally, new custom color picker also available in Background Settings if you have "Solid Color" or "Picture" (type "Center" or "Fit") selected.
Automatically free up space (PC): Windows 10 insider build 15014 now includes a new option in Storage Settings which automatically delete old files. Currently, the feature only deletes temporary files and items that have been in your recycle bin for 30 days. However, the option is off by default, but you can turn it on under System > Storage Settings and choose what it cleans up.
New Wi-Fi services section in Settings app (PC & Mobile): Windows insider team has combined few advanced Wi-Fi settings. New 'Wi-Fi Services' under Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi now includes both Wi-Fi Sense and Paid Wi-Fi Services. Also, "Connect to suggested open hotspots" is one of the settings under "Wi-Fi services".
New power slider on select Windows 10 Devices (PC): As we mentioned with Build 15002, we are conducting experiments on features which help improve battery life for Windows devices. In a continuation of our battery life work for the Windows 10 Creators Update, some of you will start seeing a new slider in the power flyout on the Taskbar in this build (this is enabled only on select PCs currently, and is not yet wired up to performance/power settings – we have enabled it to get early feedback):
Fixes in Windows 10 Build 15014
- You may see the Mail app pinned to your Taskbar after updating to Build 15014. The Mail app is now pinned by default to the Taskbar starting with the Windows 10 Creators Update. If you unpin the Mail app after this change, it will not return.
- Some of our more nerdy Insiders will notice that build branch strings and timestamps have been replaced with static values in the version resources of OS binaries (for example – in the properties of a OS-specific .dll file). We compile builds for a lot of engineering branches every day. Each branch would produce nearly identically binaries except for the build branch string and timestamps. Rather than rebuilding all binaries, we will only build binaries that have changed. With this change we can now share binaries across branches making things more efficient for our engineering systems!
- To improve keyboard accessibility, we've updated Snipping Tool – moving the mode options under New over to a new Mode button. Clicking New will now immediately start the snip.
- Insider preview build 15014 fixed an issue resulting in the "Working on updates" screen unexpectedly showing a box instead of a progress wheel for some Insiders.
- Insider preview build 15014 fixed an issue where Desktop shortcuts containing the "%" character (usually URI shortcuts with escaped characters) would result in an Explorer.exe crash loop.
- fixed an issue where projecting to a secondary monitor could result in an Explorer.exe crash loop.
- Insider preview build 15014 fixed an issue where using CTRL + C to copy in Command Prompt wasn't working.
- Insider preview build 15014 made some polish adjustments to the Background Settings and Printers & Scanners Settings pages.
- We fixed an issue some Insiders may have experienced where their laptops would bugcheck when closing the lid to put it to sleep.
- Insider preview build 15014 fixed an issue in our new Out-Of-Box-Experience (OOBE) where clicking "Skip this step" on the Microsoft Account creation page would unexpectedly loop back to "Who owns this PC?".
- Fixed a translation issue in the Start menu for those using the Catalan display language – newly installed apps will now show "nou" next to them.
- Windows 10 Insider preview build 15014 for PC fixed an issue where the list of apps in the Surface Dial "Add an app" page via Settings > Devices > Wheel might unexpectedly be empty.
- Windows 10 Insider preview build 15014 for PC fixed an issue where Miracast wasn't working on recent builds.
- Windows 10 Insider preview build 15014 for PC fixed an issue where if a second notification comes in after dismissing a first notification and immediately opening the Action Center, that notification toast would show on top of the Action Center, rather than within it. Also fixed an issue that could result in sometimes seeing unexpected space at the top of the Action Center.
- Insider preview build 15014 fixed a deadlock from recent Insider builds that could result in the Action Center appearing blank.
- Windows 10 Insider preview build 15014 for PC adjusted our Action Center icon animation logic, so you will now no longer see the same app logo flash multiple times in quick succession after you first log in if many notifications have been received since last logging in.
- Stylized buttons in notifications are now aligned to the right – consistent with other system buttons in dialogs.
- When you use Win + V to set keyboard focus to a notification, we will now show a white focus rectangle around the X to dismiss button if you tab over to it.
- Insider preview build 15014 fixed an issue where refreshing a PDF displayed in Microsoft Edge would result in a blank page and you would need to refresh it a second time for the PDF to appear.
- Windows 10 Insider preview build 15014 for PC updated the alignment of the VPN connect button in the Network flyout to be right-justified and fixed an issue where it was unexpectedly displaying a grey border.
- Fixed an issue where brightness changes made via Settings > System > Display would unexpectedly revert after closing the Settings app.
- Insider preview build 15014 updated the WIN+X flyout to say "Apps and Features" instead of "Programs and Features".
- Windows 10 Insider preview build 15014 for PC polished the animation when dropping a tile onto another tile in Start in order to create a folder.
- Fixed an issue where, if the User Account Control (UAC) settings were set to "do not dim my desktop", running something from File Explorer as Admin could result in UAC displaying behind File Explorer.

Casino Truck Show 2018
More than 200 trucks took part in this year's Casino Truck Show, a record for the annual northern New South Wales event.
It was a record attendance for Casino, with trucks, owners and drivers arriving from all around northern NSW, as well as from Queensland, Victoria and as far as Western Australia.
Des Bailey, a former winner of the NatRoad and Australian Trucking Association Professional Driver of the Year awards, offered an introduction to Owner//Driver's brief but colourful video.
Des drove up from Grafton in a Blanchard Haulage R560 Scania. He's been with the company for over 20 years.
Stuart George, president of the Casino Beef Week committee, which also organises the truck show, says the truck attendance numbers jumped significantly this year.
"Over 200 trucks, it's the biggest we've had by far," Stuart says.
"Last year was just over 150, the year before might have been 160. It's always been around that 150, so it was a big increase."

Gayle Anderson was live in Long Beach at the Aquarium of the Pacific, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary with special programs, events, exhibits, and contests highlighting the institution's history and future. Learn about and meet some of our original animals, such as Charlie the Sea Otter and Theo and Lou the Sea Turtles. Visitors also have the chance to meet some new residents that have arrived just in time for the celebration, including a baby harbor seal born in April to Shelby, one of the Aquarium's original animals.
Most Seals give birth to young starting at four to five years of age. At twenty-two years old, Shelby is considered a mature mom, and this is her third pup. Troy, the aquarium's only male harbor seal, is the father of all three pups and has lived at the Aquarium since 2007.
The Aquarium is also displaying a new cephalopod exhibit in the Tropical Pacific Gallery called Tentacles and Ink. This exhibit features species of cephalopods, which include squid, octopuses, and cuttlefish. It currently houses a day octopus. Unlike most species of octopus, which are nocturnal, this species is most active during the day, hence its common name. It frequently changes the color and texture of its skin to blend in with the reef environment as camouflage. This species lives on coral reefs and in shallow waters in the Indo-Pacific Ocean, from Hawaii to the eastern coast of Africa. It feeds on fish, crabs, shrimp, and other small prey.
Also, the aquarium is running several contests, scavenger hunts, and community challenges, including daily opportunities to win prizes. Look for the "Platinum Bob the Diver" statue hidden in a different exhibit each day. Take and post photos at designated Selfie Stations with the hashtag #AOPandme and have the chance to win prizes. In addition, the aquarium's costumed characters, including a new octopus mascot named Gigi, are celebrating with new photo ready party accessories.
A short film highlighting the Aquarium's conservation work plays daily in the Great Hall and art exhibits celebrating the Aquarium's anniversary are displayed on the second floor. The first art exhibit features five original pieces by Brian Kesinger, the Official Artist of the 20th Anniversary. Kesinger is an award-winning story artist, author, and illustrator whose 20-year career at Disney spanned both hand drawn and CG animated films. He is a longtime Aquarium fan and member who has also created a series of books about a character named Victoria and her octopus friend, Otto. His set of four limited edition pins featuring charter animals from the Aquarium is available for sale in the gift store. Also, prints of Kesinger's exhibiting artwork are available for purchase. Kesinger's art exhibit will be on view through September 2, 2018, followed by a commemorative quilt exhibit on September 15, and a display of 20th Anniversary art contest winning pieces starting December 15.
Special anniversary events include a lecture August 30th by Vice President of Husbandry Sandy Trautwein on the Aquarium's husbandry and conservation achievements during its' twenty year history.

Caroline Bourgoin
Regional Sales Manager, SGD Pharma New York
Could you sum up your career for us?
After completing my BTS (Associate Degree) as a trilingual assistant, I began as an executive assistant then quickly began to transition into sales assistant roles in various sectors of industry (auditing, tableware, children's nutrition).
In 2011, I joined SGD Pharma as a Sales Assistant for France. Two years later, I transferred into the role of Sales Manager for Central Europe then for Northern Europe.
In 2017, I became Regional Sales Manager, joining the SGD Pharma team at the office in New York, USA.
Could you describe your job in more detail?
I'm responsible for the sales and commercial development in the USA and Canada.
Since mid-2018, I have also assumed responsibility for customer services. We work together to improve our processes with the aim of guaranteeing our clients the best possible service.
Our region is undergoing a huge growth, it's important that this is well organised in order to support and sustain our development.
Are there any accomplishments that you are particularly proud of since joining SGD Pharma?
At SGD Pharma, I have had the opportunity to work in many roles, across several regions and to be involved in numerous projects. One of the challenges has been adapting to the different issues and problems associated with each service and each geographical region.
If I had to mention just one project, it would be the management of our range of baby bottles. I was a assistant in the sales department and product manager for this product range. The portfolio was interesting but rather complicated as it combined the challenges of both glassware and decor.
This portfolio required a great deal of coordination with planning teams, with which we set up monthly reviews to help us anticipate future requirements, as well as the teams from sales and marketing.
Is there something that you appreciate about your work environment and would like to share?
The first thing that comes to mind are the colleagues who I have worked with since I started working at SGD Pharma. Working as part of a team is a great motivation. I really enjoy having contact with people from different departments, being able to exchange experiences and always learning new things. It's also rewarding to work in a multicultural setting.

A warm welcome to OPT. We began in 1927 and have been looking after Oxford ever since. We have seen many changes, guiding that change and not stopping it, conserving the best of the old, and encouraging the best of the new. We look after Oxford's built areas and its green setting, so that buildings can live on and Oxford's rural setting is there for all to enjoy. If like us you love Oxford, give us your support. Support Oxford
Our mission is simple but significant, to ensure that we are conserving the best of Oxford's past and help create a positive future for our great City. We are lucky enough to care for acres of land in Oxford's rural setting and world famous view, opening it up for everyone to enjoy. We conserve buildings from cottage to castle, our offices in the saved C17th cottages in St Ebbe's, Shakespeare's Painted Room, the restoration of Oxford Castle, and even a railway Swingbridge.
Our deep knowledge of Oxford gained over many years allows us the opportunity to share our expertise. Studies, such as the Conservation Area Toolkit, Oxford Views Study, or Castle Canal College, are designed to help better and positive planning for the future. Oxford Design Excellence and our OPT Annual Awards are our chance to recognise the exemplary work of others and the contribution they make to Oxford.
Education and sharing our knowledge and passion for Oxford is in the heads, and the hearts, of everyone involved with OPT and is reflected in the work that we do. Whether it's Oxford Open Doors, our member events or our community outreach programmes we want people to know more about the great place that is the city of Oxford.
We welcome anyone who is as passionate about this city as us to join us. Support our work. Support Oxford

Among the objectives of the #BankSocial Media Conference is to give CEOs and other leaders the skill and insight to enact a powerful social media strategy. In the discussion, "Credit Union CEOs and Their Social Media Teams," CEOs from some of the nation's top credit unions, along with their social media strategists, will discuss the ins and outs of putting together a digital marketing team and measuring its success. Participants include executives from SkyOne Federal Credit Union, Royal Credit Union and Mazuma Credit Union.
"This elite panel is another opportunity to learn about the intersection of social media and finance, from the perspective of credit unions," says #BankSocial Founder John Siracusa. "I'm honored to have leaders from such innovative and results-focused credit unions together on a panel moderated by CU Times' Heather Anderson. Bringing so many powerful influencers together in one place has helped #BankSocial exceed its attendee goals significantly."
"Credit unions and community banks, like all organizations, face a generation gap when it comes to successful social media," explains CU Times Executive Editor Heather Anderson. "CEOs, who are often baby boomers or Gen X, usually don't understand how social media is different than traditional advertising channels. On the other end of the spectrum are entry level millennials who understand social media and posting, but lack business experience and don't have to answer to boards or shareholders if something inappropriate is posted. To implement a successful social media strategy, young and old generations must trust each other's skill sets and work together to develop a framework that allows for effective social media while managing reputational risk and regulatory compliance."
"With social media, we have a voice at the table," proposes Eileen Rivera, CEO of SkyOne. "We can turn negative situations into positive ones. Before social media, we didn't know what the word of mouth channel was saying."
Asked why social media is relevant in banking, Mazuma President/CEO Brandon Michaels suggests, "It's critical for your business because it's where your customers reside. What better way to interact with your customers, almost instantaneously, for free? To make social media even more compelling, it's a phenomenal way to increase your brand recognition and loyalty, and understand what your customers are saying and doing. It's not just a marketing fad, but a highly effective way to engage your current customers and reach new ones."
Rudy Pereira, president/CEO at Royal Credit Union, says that "Social media is another way we reach out to, listen to, and act upon the feedback we receive from our members. Our values as an organization are able to shine through our transparent engagement with our members and keeping them involved in what is happening in the communities we serve. It is an ongoing, ever-engaging channel that allows Royal to share our story and the stories of our members for all to read and share."
"Credit Union CEOs and Their Social Media Teams" is scheduled for 2–3 pm on Thursday, April 7 – day one of the #BankSocial Media Conference. The panel discussion will contribute meaningfully to the conference's overall mission to make connections between retail banks and credit unions, and the forward-thinking social media strategy that can help accelerate growth and create new opportunities for success.
