Microsoft Kills Word Flow Keyboard—Here's What to Replace It With. When you installed Microsoft’s Word Flow keyboard on your i. Phone, you probably thought it was an app or extension. Turns out, it was an “experiment,” an experiment that is now “complete,” and you need to switch to a new keyboard. Your safest bet is Swift. Key, which Microsoft bought early last year, and which recently caught up to the default keyboard with 3. Unfortunately, if you’re a Windows user you’ll have to actually purchase the font yourself: Microsoft created its own Helvetica clone, Arial, as it chose not to. D Touch cursor control and over 1. Multilingual typers can even switch languages on the fly, and Swift. Key will detect the change. Cassini has only three orbits left in its 20-year-long journey, the next of which starts today. On its final dive on September 15th, it’ll plunge itself into Saturn. Watch breaking news videos, viral videos and original video clips on CNN.com. According to Nature, the scientific report is a precursor to the legally mandated fourth National Climate Assessment in 2018. It is all but finished except for final. We also recommend Google’s Gboard, which offers instant search and dictation. While Swift. Key sends your typing data to its servers to process customization, Gboard leaves all your typing data (except for searches and dictation recordings) on your keyboard. Unlike Word Flow, neither of these keyboards will squeeze to one side for one- handed typing (for that you’ll need Fleksy or Minuum). But both offer swipe- typing, which (after a little practice) is much faster than one- handed tapping. To enable a new keyboard, after you download it, go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard, add the keyboard, then select it again and turn on “Allow Full Access.”. Federal Researchers Are Worried Scott Pruitt's EPA is Preparing to Destroy an Upcoming Climate Report. The researchers behind an upcoming 6. Scott Pruitt, the new Environmental Protection Agency chief who made his national name attacking the EPA, is posed to destroy it. According to Nature, the scientific report is a precursor to the legally mandated fourth National Climate Assessment in 2. It is all but finished except for final sign- off by 1. Pruitt’s EPA, and Pruitt has proposed requiring future climate research pass a “red team, blue team” panel. The red part of any such panel would include “dissenting” voices—and the pool of dissenting scientists is in large part funded by climate change- stoking industries like coal mining and fossil fuel extraction. According to Nature, Pruitt appears to be making preparations to move forward with the red team, blue team panel idea, and documents forwarded by an EPA official show he has consulted with the Heartland Institute, a fossil fuel lobbying group, on who to put on the red side. Pruitt slashed half of the scientists from the EPA’s board of scientific counselors this year, opening the way for fossil fuel lobbyists and paid flacks to muscle their way in. Even without naked interference from Pruitt or other federal officials, Trump has left major vacancies at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, which coordinates climate reports. ![]() ![]() The OSTP’s entire science division had no employees left as of July 1, and its staffing in general plummeted from 1. Barack Obama to just 3. July.“We can’t allow science to be held hostage,” University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign climate researcher and report co- author Donald Wuebbles told Nature. I’m hopeful it won’t get to that, because it would look really bad for the administration to fight this.”Pruitt has no formal scientific qualifications. Before being appointed head of the EPA, he was best known for repeatedly suing the agency in his role as Oklahoma’s attorney general. Trump himself has repeatedly referred to climate change as a Chinese “hoax,” and on dozens of occasions has tweeted that cold weather disproves climate science. He also has a penchant for not really caring about the consequences of warring with the judiciary, so he will probably not care all that much about interfering with the legally mandated 2.
