This bathroom gives plenty of space for you and your partner to share and even the whole family if need be. I love the color spectrum, and think that you increase the level of relaxation in a bathroom when the colors are right on. In this case we have a beige color spectrum that is very earthy and soothing. The soaking tub is very nice, but for me the star of the show is the shower. It is huge, and the large glass doors are very nice as well. The high ceilings make the bathroom feel larger, and the natural light is very nice in here as well.

The thing it's not clearing is the website cache.
Unsure about this one but it might didn't delete the cookies too but this is probably unlikely.
This is somewhat a similar issue to privacy mode not clearing properly, just without clearing any history.
Did you try Clear ALL button in Aloha Settings-Privacy ?
Yes. That is where the issue is coming from actually.
Does it happen with google search engine only?
Somewhat no? I noticed a few others did that too, not all of them.
Which search engines has the same behaviour?
Edit: Just Google and Baidu it seems like.
Any updates on it? It's not fixed unfortunately.

A lópatkó az a többnyire félhold alakú, vasból, rézből, alumíniumból vagy más anyagból készült ívelt fémeszköz, mellyel a ló patáját a kopás ellen védik. A lópatkó alakja megegyezik a pata hordozószélének alakjával, vagyis az első láb patáira inkább kör alakú, a hátsókra inkább tojásdad alakú patkókat alkalmaznak. A patkót a ló patájának méretéhez és formájához, illetve testének tömegéhez kell igazítani.

A patkónak a patával érintkező lapja sima, beljebb lejtősre készül, hogy járás közben meg ne zúzza a leereszkedő talpat. A patkó hegyén, mely alatt középrészét értik, kápa van, melynek rendeltetése a pata hegyfalát védeni. Alsó, vagyis a földdel érintkező lapján árkolás készül, mely a patkó felszegelése alkalmával a szegfejeket veszi magába, s a lekopás ellen védi. A patkó árkában annak súlya szerint 5 vagy 7 szeglyuk látható, melyek a két patkószáron vannak elosztva.

Története
A nomád magyarok a honfoglalás után ismerkedtek meg a patkóval. A honfoglalás kori régészeti leletekben a kengyel és a zabla megtalálható, de a lópatkó hiányzik. A lópatkó nem a nomád lovasnépek találmánya, hanem a keltáké. A szláv eredetű magyar patkó szó 1342-től használatos. A köves utak kiépítése előtt nem terjedt el a lovak patáinak "vasalása". A vasalatlan (patkó nélküli) ló azonban a kiépített utakon könnyen ferdére koptatta a patáját.

Érdekességek

A patkót a világ minden táján szerencsehozó tárgyként tartják nyilván. Hazánkban a vályúba teszik, hogy megvédje az állatot a betegségektől. Az algíri mohamedánok az ajtófélfára patkót szegeznek, de az angol vitorlások árbócára is kitűzik, hogy a hajót megvédje. A ló régen varázserejű, bajtól védő állat volt, az emberek lovat áldoztak, házaik ormára, a kapuk fölé lófejet, lókoponyát, lópatkót szegeztek, hogy elkerüljék a balszerencsét. A lóáldozatok szerepét a későbbi korokban átvette a lópatkó, melynek vasa megvéd az ártó szellemektől. Különösen nagy szerencse éri azt, aki lópatkót talál.

Egy középkori monda szerint Krisztus és szent Péter földi vándorútjuk során egy lópatkót (krajcárt) találnak. Péter nem hajlandó lehajolni érte, Krisztus felveszi, az árán cseresznyét vesz, s szemenként elpotyogtatja. Péter minden szemért lehajlik. Tanulság: a rest 77-szer (százszor) fárad.

A boszorkányok, mivel félnek a lovaktól, visszafordulnak attól az ajtótól, melyre lópatkót szögeztek.

A írek amulettként hajlított lópatkó-szögeket akasztottak gyermekeik nyakába, a teuton folklórban általánosan elfogadott volt az a babona, hogy a véletlenül talált lópatkószög a tűzhelybe beverve elősegíti, hogy az ellopott javak visszakerüljenek a jogos tulajdonosukhoz.

Google has built a new Android TV device solely for developers, the Android TV team announced during a session at the company's Google I/O developer conference in Mountain View, Calif. Tuesday. ADT-2, as the new device is being called, is a full-fledged Android TV streaming device that's about the size of a Chromecast streaming adapter.
It supports 4K video streaming and packs 8 GB of storage space and 2 GB of memory. The ADT-2 ships with a Bluetooth LE remote control that offers access to the Google Assistant via built-in microphone.
The ADT-2 first surfaced in a recent FCC filing, which showed a mystery Android TV dongle donning a big G logo. The device's name is a reference to the ADT-1, a streaming box that Google handed out to developers when it first launched Android TV back in 2014.
Google is not selling the ADT-2 to the general public, but instead shipping it to a limited number of developers. Any developer interested in receiving a unit can sign up for it via this Google Form.
Other than the new developer device, Google also announced a few software updates for Android TV Tuesday. Google's Android-based smart TV platform received a major UI make-over last year with the roll-out of Android O. This year, Google is instead introducing smaller enhancements under the hood, including an optimized set-up process. Android TV devices that run the next version of Android, code-named P, will identify nearby mobile phones via Bluetooth.
During setup, they will then send a notification to such a nearby phone, prompting users to verify a code displayed on the TV screen. This will allow users to log in with their Google username and password without having to rely on an on-screen keyboard and TV remote.
What's more, Android TV devices will automatically present a list of streaming apps a user may have installed on their phone, and suggest to install them on the TV device as well — and even transfer the credentials. This should make the setup process for new users 33 percent faster, Android TV director of engineering Sascha Prueter recently told Variety.
The announcement comes a day after Google unveiled a collaboration with JBL for an Android TV-powered sound bar. The JBL Link Bar, as it is being called, effectively combines your typical TV sound bar with a voice-controlled smart speaker and a full-fledged Android TV streamer, all in one device. It will ship before the end of the year, with pricing and other details to be announced this fall.
The launch of the Link Bar is in part an effort to appeal to cord cutters and others looking to add smarts to their existing TV sets — a market that Android TV hasn't fared as well in, with competitors like Amazon's Fire TV, Roku and Google's own Chromecast handily outselling Android TV-based streamers.
However, Prueter said that Android TV had nonetheless been a success for Google, and that the company continued to see a lot of demand from pay TV operators well as TV manufacturers looking for a smart TV solution. "We are doubling our active user base every year," he told Variety last week.

Natural and Cultural History of Xanthorhiza simplicissima
Carson Colenbaugh, Donald L. Hagan
Castanea 86 (2), 151-172, (7 January 2022) https://doi.org/10.2179/0008-7475.86.2.151
KEYWORDS: Berberine, CHEROKEE, Catawba, Lumbee, traditional medicine
Yellowroot (Xanthorhiza simplicissima Marshall, Ranunculaceae) is a low-growing deciduous shrub native to hardwood forests in the eastern United States. This review synthesizes existing knowledge about yellowroot's natural and cultural history including traditional uses, contemporary applications, and future implications. Emphasis is placed on the southern Appalachian mountain region, which is the core of its cultural importance. Natural history and ethnobotanical knowledge about yellowroot were collected from published literature, oral histories, and field observations. While it was first described by botanists in the 18th Century, yellowroot was already a well-established and culturally significant plant to the Native peoples of southern Appalachia for centuries. At least 34 Indigenous medicinal and craft uses are documented, confirming that yellowroot was, and to an extent still is, a culturally significant plant for Indigenous people in the southern Appalachian region. European and African American settlers to the region also incorporated the plant into many of their folk traditions, and wild harvesting and cultivation continues to this day. Modern analytical techniques have identified key phytoactive compounds in yellowroot extracts, lending credence to its traditional medicinal uses and potential applications in modern medicine.
Modeling Habitat Suitability for Stewartia ovata Across the Southeastern United States
Clayton W. Hale, Joshua J. Granger, Alison K. Paulson, Carlos Ramirez-Reyes, Qin Ma, Jia Yang
KEYWORDS: habitat suitability, herbarium, MaxEnt, mountain stewartia, plant conservation
Mountain stewartia (Stewartia ovata) is a rare shrub or small tree endemic to the higher elevation regions of Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama with isolated populations occurring in Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Mississippi. The species is often misidentified or overlooked by land managers and conservationists. As a result, mountain stewartia's habitat and distribution descriptions are limited for restoration and conservation use. Modeling a species' habitat suitability has become a critical first step in conserving rare and imperiled plant species. These models allow conservationists to locate previously undocumented populations and prioritize populations and habitats for conservation. This study presents a habitat suitability model for mountain stewartia across its known natural range based on maximum entropy (Maxent) modeling with nine environmental predictor variables and 60 occurrences from herbarium records (n=22), research-grade iNaturalist observations (n=25), and other author identified locations (n=3). The resulting habitat suitability map was classified into bins for spatial analysis. A total of 376,030 ha (0.44% of the study area) was designated within the top tier bin with the highest suitable habitat. Further, 133,344 ha (0.16% of the study area) of the top bin was found on publicly owned lands, indicating approximately 35.56% of the highest habitat suitability occurs within public lands. The presented model could allow plant conservationists to prioritize areas for conservation, reintroduction, and may lead to the discovery of previously undocumented populations.
Vascular Flora of the Christmount Preserve, Buncombe County, North Carolina
Amy E. Boyd, Lane Doyle, Susan E. Lusardi, Gray Allen Goliszek
KEYWORDS: southern Appalachian Mountains, biodiversity, cove forests, floristic survey, plant communities
The Christmount Preserve is a botanically diverse and ecologically rich area of approximately 155 ha of southern Appalachian forest held in conservation easement. We conducted a floristic inventory of the preserve to inform conservation efforts on the property. Although the plant diversity within the preserve is an important attraction for residents and visitors, information on its flora is limited. This study builds upon a brief but informative 1996 report of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program summarizing the preserve's attributes as a natural area. A total of 317 specimens of vascular plants were collected during 2018–2020 to develop a vouchered flora of the preserve. These specimens documented 221 species in 165 genera and 84 families, 4.5% of which are not native to the Appalachian Mountain region. We found three plant taxa that are listed by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program: Coreopsis latifolia, Hypericum buckleyi, and Robinia hispida var. fertilis. Plant community types found on the property include large areas of Rich Cove Forest, Acidic Cove Forest, and Montane Oak-Hickory Forest, but also included small patches of Pine-Oak/Heath–High Elevation Subtype, a globally imperiled plant association, along the high ridgelines. The information presented here will be used to help guide management efforts as well as educational programming by the managing organization, Christmount Christian Association (CCA).
Reevaluating Genetic Diversity and Structure of Helianthus verticillatus (Asteraceae) after the Discovery of New Populations
Erika R. Moore, Carolina M. Siniscalchi, Jennifer R. Mandel
KEYWORDS: clonality, conservation, microsatellites, population genetics, whorled sunflower
Determining population genetic structure of isolated or fragmented species is of critical importance when planning a conservation strategy. Knowledge of the genetic composition and differentiation among populations of a rare or threatened species can aid conservation managers in understanding how, and which, populations to protect. The whorled sunflower, Helianthus verticillatus (Asteraceae), is a federally endangered sunflower species endemic to the southeastern United States. The distribution of the species comprises four known populations within three states: Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia. Recently, new populations were discovered in Marshall County, Mississippi, and Franklin County, Virginia. Here, we carry out a population genetic study of these new populations using nuclear microsatellite markers and compare our results to those from previously known populations of H. verticillatus. Our results show that both newly discovered populations contain novel genetic variation, with Mississippi containing the most private alleles out of all populations tested. The Virginia population is genetically similar to the previously known populations but is under the most conservation concern given the recovery of only two unique genetic individuals found in this population. These results indicate these new populations are worthy of protection and conservation efforts given the unique genetic variation they harbor.
New Populations of the Rheophytic Macrophyte Podostemum ceratophyllum Michx. (Hornleaf Riverweed) in West Virginia
Samuel A. Canfield, James L. Wood
KEYWORDS: macrophyte, Podostemum ceratophyllum, riverine, environmental stressor, West Virginia
Podostemum ceratophyllum (Hornleaf riverweed) is a macrophyte that inhabits swift-water rivers with stable substrates and abundant light in montane and piedmont ecoregions of eastern North America. Within these habitats, P. ceratophyllum is considered a foundation species because the plant can strongly influence community structure by increasing habitat complexity for macroinvertebrates and fishes, and facilitates resources cycling via elemental sequestration, herbivory, and detrital pathways. Currently, the USDA and NatureServe recognize P. ceratophyllum as a conservation concern in some states, but the plant's status remains uncertain in many other states. In West Virginia, P. ceratophyllum is considered imperiled (S2) by the West Virginia Natural Heritage Program. The most recent records were collected in 1998, while other populations have not been confirmed since the late 1800s. To expand our current understanding of the distribution of P. ceratophyllum in West Virginia, we surveyed six historical sites and 34 new sites between 2015–2019. Four historical sites were found to still support P. ceratophyllum, and 10 new populations were discovered in six different river systems; however, P. ceratophyllum was not found at 26 other sites surveyed. Identifying new populations of P. ceratophyllum and resurveying previously documented populations in West Virginia expands the ecological and botanical understanding of this notably underreported plant. Improved documentation of P. ceratophyllum in West Virginia may benefit river management and restoration efforts in the state and provide insight into the plant's sensitivity to anthropogenic disturbances.
A Review of Avian Dispersal of Non-Native and Invasive Plants in the Southeastern United States
E. Natasha Vanderhoff, Jeremy D. Rentsch
KEYWORDS: non-native invasive plants, Avian, seed dispersal
Non-native and invasive (NNI) plants have spread throughout the southeastern United States. To monitor the spread of NNI plants and implement appropriate management we need to understand the relationship between NNI plants and their avian dispersers. Birds are the primary disperser of many NNI plants, and thus a thorough understanding of their role can aid agencies wishing to control the spread of NNI plants. We examined the literature to assess the current knowledge of the relationship between NNI plants, specifically shrubs, trees, and vines, and their avian dispersers in the southeastern United States. We found 56 papers covering 28 NNI plant species and 46 bird species. 66% of papers on NNI plants did not connect plants with specific avian dispersers and those that did tended to mention fewer than five avian species. More studies were conducted in Florida than any other state and most papers focused on the spread of NNI plants. Our review indicates a need for further research to identify the avian dispersers of NNI plants and the role they play in the spread of NNI in the southeast.
An Inventory of a Private Property Illustrates Diverse Cryptogam Floras in North Central Texas
Taylor S. Quedensley, Dale A. Kruse, Caleb A. Morse
KEYWORDS: Bryophytes, cryptogams, Lichens, lichen-allied fungi, Texas flora
The cryptogamic flora has remained unexplored in much of Texas and here we report 49 bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and a hornwort) and 180 lichen-forming and allied fungi from a small private property in North Central Texas. Of the 229 species reported, 30 lichen-forming fungi (lichens) are here reported for the first time in Texas. Moreover, 76 of all taxa collected are represented by 10 or fewer specimen records in the state. Therefore, one out of every three species collected for this study represents a novel documented occurrence for a taxon belonging to poorly known and ecologically important groups of organisms. These results highlight the efforts of continuing to document cryptogam species throughout Texas and how cooperation with private landowners can contribute to novel biodiversity studies.
Scientific Note: Hydrochory in Sabal minor (Arecaceae)
R. Harold Jones
KEYWORDS: naturalization, palm, Sabal minor, Virginia, Virginia Beach
The current cycle of global warming has contracted some range restricted species while concurrently expanding the range of more adaptable species. Sabal minor is a member of Arecaceae, the palm family, and is confined to lower latitudes in both western hemispheres. Latitudinal limitation of S. minor is believed to be related to low temperature intolerance. However the exact mechanism remains elusive. In this study reproductive fecundity of anthropogenically introduced populations in southern Virginia Beach, Virginia, was evaluated. Diaspore viability, approximated by floatability of fruits, was used to evaluate distribution by hydrochory. This study also documents a previously unidentified condition of fungal mass growth around the fruits of S. minor during buoyancy testing and suggests some areas for additional investigation.

Three Non-Native Vascular Plant Species New to the Flora of Alabama
Alvin R. Diamond, Brian R. Keener
Three species of non-native vascular plants are reported here as new to Alabama. Persicaria capitata (Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don) H. Gross, Pistacia chinensis Bunge, and Sedum diffusum S. Watson are all species cultivated as ornamentals, and likely represent escapes from nearby plantings.
Recent collections of three non-native species in Alabama represent the first documented examples of these taxa as naturalized elements of the state's flora. In each case, the taxon was not included in the most recent statewide comprehensive publications including the Annotated Checklist of the Vascular Plants of Alabama (Kral et al. 2011) and the Alabama Plant Atlas (Keener et al. 2021). Additionally, Weakley (2020) did not include Alabama within the known distributions for each of them, and searches of BONAP (Kartesz 2020) and SERNEC (2021) failed to locate any additional non-cultivated specimens from Alabama.
Scientific Note: Capsule-Seed Allometric Relationships in Ludwigia ravenii (Onagraceae), a Critically Imperiled Wetland-Obligate
Kira Lindelof, Alexander Krings
KEYWORDS: endangered, seedbox, infructescence, sect. Isnardia, G1
Ludwigia ravenii is a critically imperiled tetraploid known historically from Virginia to Florida. There have been no published studies examining the number of seeds produced per capsule to guide researchers and conservationists in planning studies or collection efforts. Such data are important considering current guidelines by the Center for Plant Conservation recommend that no more than 10 percent of a population's seed production be collected in a single season. To fill this void, our objective was to examine and report on capsule-seed allometric relationships in the species. Our study is based on 25 capsules from six plants from the North Carolina Coastal Plain. Though admittedly limited in geographic scope, we focused on these wild plants to avoid destruction of herbarium specimens and as they were already the subject of a broader, permitted inquiry into seed germination. Consistent with prior, range-wide monographic study, measured capsule dimensions were: length 2.87–5.41 mm (mean=3.98, sd=0.64); broader facet width 1.95–3.67 mm (mean=2.94, sd=0.43); narrower facet width 1.88–3.27 mm (mean=2.70, sd=0.39). The mean number of seeds produced per capsule was 304.8 (sd=94.9). The mean number of seeds produced by capsules at least 4 mm long was 361 (sd=65.7), whereas the mean number of seeds produced by capsules less than 4 mm long was 233 (sd=77.8). In the absence of additional data from other populations, we preliminarily recommend that capsule collection efforts focus on capsules at least 4 mm long.

In 2013, a new species of clover endemic to Kentucky was described. This species, Trifolium kentuckiense (Fabaceae), has yet to be placed in a phylogeny but is hypothesized to be most closely related to T. reflexum based on morphology. We present phylogenetic evidence from the nuclear (ITS) and plastid genomes (trnL and ndhA introns) that T. kentuckiense is a member of a clade of seven Trifolium species native to eastern North America. Within this clade, T. kentuckiense is strongly placed in a clade with three other annual/biennial Trifolium species (T. bejariense, T. carolinianum, and T. reflexum); it is sister to T. reflexum, although support for this relationship is weak. Our results support previous findings that suggest the ndhA intron is much more variable than the trnL intron in the Eurosid I clade. The ndhA intron contained over twice the number of parsimony informative characters when compared to the trnL intron, though ITS was more variable than either region. We also provide a dichotomous key to native and nonnative members of Trifolium for Kentucky and its surrounding states. We suggest determinations of historic specimens of Trifolium, particularly those identified as T. reflexum, be reassessed to obtain localities that may still support populations of this recently described species. We also provide guidance on when and in what habitats to search for new populations of this extremely rare taxon.
Scientific Note: Loblolly Pine Traumatic Resin Ducts Serve as Indicators of Cool-Season Weather Events at Nags Head, North Carolina

KEYWORDS: traumatic resin ducts, loblolly pine, dendroclimatology, wood anatomy
We present a method for recording cool-season (mid-October–May) weather events near Nags Head, North Carolina. Standardized traumatic resin duct frequency (TRDsf) formations in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) were determined from earlywood radial growth samples using the number of traumatic resin ducts that occur in response to stressful weather events. Based on a sample of 39 cores collected at Nags Head Woods Ecological Preserve during summer 2020, we tested if the occurrence of traumatic resin ducts in the earlywood was caused by late-season tropical cyclones, mid-latitude windstorms, and snow/ice storms and served as a proxy for extreme weather frequency during 1950–2019. TRDsf was significantly related to years that had at least one documented cool-season weather event. The average TRDsf in a non-storm year was 1.95 while the average for a storm year was 2.99. Further, TRDsf was correlated with the number of cool-season weather events and there was no tree age-related bias to storm-event detection. These results support using TRD frequency to reconstruct cool-season storm history beyond current climate records at locations where older (150+ years) stands of loblolly pine forests exist along coastal North Carolina.

Gord and I are spending the next couple of days in Mont Tremblant, QC. We spent New Years here last year and really enjoyed it so thought we'd come back.
Morgan suspected he was being left behind.
We flew here and it's about an hour's flight.
The plane we arrived on.
The airport is too cute! Heading into it from the plane.
It's very well organized. Once you get off the plane, you check in at a desk and tell them which hotel you are staying in and they tell you which van to get into. The van also picks you up at your hotel when it's time to head home. It's a scenic 40 minute drive from the airport to the hotels.
Once we checked into our hotel, we took a walk to the grocery store to pick up some supplies for the room.
The village is so festive!
Like last year, we stopped in for some hot mulled wine outside a coffee shop to warm up ... it was -17C/1.4F (-22C/-7.6F with the windchill).
Sounds like a lot of fun. I hope you have a very wonderful new year.
Awww, that does look cute. Have fun!

Nationals Offense Bashing, But Long-Term Outlook Doesn't Look Good
Farid RushdiAnalyst IMay 14, 2009
With their 6-3 win over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday afternoon, the Washington Nationals return home with a still league-worst record of 11-21. That said, they finished their west-coast road trip at 4-4, and really, it should have been 6-2.
But I don't have to tell you about the Nationals' bullpen, right?
A couple of interesting themes are beginning to emerge now that the season is about one-fifth over. The bullpen could be the worst of baseball's modern era, and the starting pitching, though it started badly, is looking pretty good.
And oh, can the Washington Nationals hit.
How would you like to face this lineup?
SS-Cristian Guzman: .390-1-9
1B-Nick Johnson: .333-3-19
3B-Ryan Zimmerman: .357-8-26
LF-Adam Dunn: .313-11-28
CF-Elijah Dukes: .280-4-23
RF-Kearns/Willingham .220-8-22
C - Jesus Flores: .311-4-15
2B-Alberto Gonzalez: .271-1-5
The Nationals are fourth in the National League in runs (5.4 per game), third in home runs (42), walks (138), batting average (.280), on-base percent (.361), second in slugging percent (.447) and first in OPS (.809) and total bases (512).
In 2008, the Nationals' offense was a polar opposite, finishing dead last in total bases, OPS, slugging percent and home runs. They finished 14th in batting average and 11th in walks.
So Nationals' fans can look forward to several more years of a top-of-the-line offense, right?
Nick Johnson and Austin Kearns won't return in 2010, and in all probability, won't be in Washington after the July 31st trade deadline. Cristian Guzman and Adam Dunn are only signed through next year, and it's doubtful that either will resign with the Nationals as long as the team continues to lose this badly. Josh Willingham will be eligible for free agency after the 2011 season.
That leaves Ryan Zimmerman, Jesus Flores, Alberto Gonzalez and Elijah Dukes as the only starters who can be counted on long-term.
Sure, the Nationals might sign some of these players to multi-year deals in the next couple of years, but if attendance remains bad-the Nationals are currently 29th out of 30 teams-they might not have the money to lure their stars back even if they want to.
Sure, there are a few good prospects in the minor leagues, but most of them are pitchers. Justin Maxwell at 'AAA' Columbus, Chris Marrero and Michael Burgess at "A+" Potomac, and Derek Norris at "A-" Hagerstown are promising, but only one-Maxwell-is close to being major league ready.
My concern is that just as this potent offense deconstructs, that lousy pitching staff is going to become very, very good.
John Lannan (2-3, 3.89) is 24 and Shairon Martis (5-0, 3.98) is just 22, and both have shown that they will be quality starters for years to come. Jordan Zimmermann (2-1, 5.28) is 22 and has had three quality starts in his five major league games. He has struck out 26 and walked just 8 in 29 innings. Scott Olsen hasn't pitched well this year but is just 25 and has already started 100 games in the major leagues.
The Nationals also have several pitchers in their minor league system that look very good. Craig Stammen at Columbus (4-1, 1.85) and Ross Detwiler at Harrisburg (0-3, 2.96) look promising, and there are several others (Colten Willems, Josh Smoker, Cole Kimball) who are impressing as well.
Add Steven Strasburg, the presumptive number-one pick in the June amateur draft (11-0, 1.28, 17 strikeouts per 9 innings for San Diego State), and the Washington Nationals will soon have one of the strongest starting rotations in the National League.
The problem is that the starting pitching will get good about the same time that the offense returns to earth. So instead of losing games 9-8, they'll lose them 3-2.
Unless of course, the Lerner family-owners of the Washington Nationals-take a deep breath, cross their fingers, and resign their core players next year.
If they do that, and if the rotation matures as expected, the Nationals will be a 90-win team by 2011. And if they can do something about that atrocious bullpen, they could reach .... dare I say it .... the World Series.
Of course, they need to get to .500 first, and that isn't happening anytime soon.


Silk is the most ideal cloth to clean fine optical lenses, camera lenses, CD's, eyewear, and all those little screens on cell phones and other digital devices. This is because pure silk is by far the softest natural fabric and it will not leave hairline scratches on sensitive surface materials. Silk Wipes by Royal Silk come in a set of three colors, and each is about 8" square. Washable. Imported. You will not find these utilitarian silks anywhere else.

To effect change, you must do something differently.
It starts with you. Do it right, and you'll enjoy a snowball effect that helps your team, direct reports and even family members implement change.
While many books have covered organizational change, business school professors Chip and Dan Heath cover the patterns all successful change efforts have in common in Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard (2010).
The Heaths avoid looking at the history of failed changes. Instead, they share stories of spectacular changes that worked because execution built upon prior achievements.
In researching significant social, educational, governmental, marital and organizational changes, what are the patterns that emerge that anyone can apply in real-world business situations?
In many ways, the first small steps you take to change your behavior are the most important. Once you initiate change, it seems to feed on itself.
Perhaps the famous Stephen Covey maxim, "Begin with the end in mind," needs to be revised: Start with the beginning and the end in mind.
Here's how to get started and unleash the snowball effect.

Home Gadgets Pia Wurtzbach Goes OOTD for Metro Magazine – Co-Starring the Huawei P20...
Pia Wurtzbach Goes OOTD for Metro Magazine – Co-Starring the Huawei P20 Pro!
A couple of weeks ago, Huawei Philippines invited us to an exclusive sneak peek of Metro Magazine's cover shoot for its May issue, featuring none other than Huawei's brand ambassador herself, Ms. Pia Wurtzbach.
Metro Magazine Cover for May 2018 Issue
The shoot spanned three separate locations at the Mariott Hotel in Pasay City, with the theme: OOTD. Ms. Pia wore dresses that weren't your typical over the counter items, but rather pieces of art that expressed her strong character and passion for what she does. The first scene was in an amphitheater, the second in a bathtub, and lastly, in one of the most luxurious suites in the hotel.
The Huawei P20 Pro against professional gear
What's even more interesting is that part of the equipment that were used for the shoot was the Huawei P20 Pro and its Triple Leica rear cameras to see how it will fare with typical professional gear used in such events such as DSLRs. We were also given the opportunity to take shots for our own publications.
After the shoot, we had a short chat with the people behind the works – Mr. Dookie Ducay, a Fashion Photographer for over 5 years, and Ms. Geolette Esguerra, the Editor-in-Chief of Metro Magazine, to hear their thoughts on Huawei's new flagship, and how it can change the landscape of photography. With me was Mr. Peter Jan Icogo from GIZGUIDE and Mr. Duey Guison from UNBOX.PH. Here's a rundown of the interview, along with some BTS photos, shot using the Huawei P20 Pro.
Differences against the P10
When asked what differences he found on the P20 Pro compared to the P10, Dookie mentioned a number of things- One is that the P20 Pro performed better at minimizing noise in low-light situations. It also shows better quality overall, and better edges when you apply the bokeh effect on photos.
The P20 Pro also processes raw images significantly faster, and manages its temperatures well. Battery life has also improved from the previous generation.
As to his favorite features of the phone, it's slow motion video recording, AI-powered scene detection , and the speakers, which are better than another brand of phone he used before (with a bite).
Comparing the phone to a DSLR
As to whether the P20 Pro can be a substitute to a MIrrorless Camera or a DSLR, Dookie agreed, yes. There were even times when it actually performed better using manual controls.
What could make the phone even better?
Having used the P20 Pro for 24 hours, we also asked if there was any feature in particular that he wished the phone had, and it was video stabilization at 4K resolution.
As to the cover being shot using a smartphone
This is the third time that the magazine's cover will be shot using a smartphone. When asked as to what her thoughts were as to using the P20 Pro, Geolette mentioned that they were very impressed with the photo quality. They were shooting in RAW, and were constantly zooming in to check on the details, and clarity is just superb, and that's across various lighting conditions.
Adjustments in pre-production
When asked as to whether there were any adjustments that had to be made in pre-production, under the premise that they'll be using a smartphone instead of a DSLR, she said that they had to bring in something special to the photos, so they chose clothes that people won't typically wear. The poses that Pia had to do were also carefully selected.
The best smartphone that i've used coming from other brands in terms of overall quality and battery as well.Dookie Ducay, Photographer
I believe that it's a game-changer, what happens with a lot of photographers, a lot of people in fashion is that you produce content everywhere, you can't keep bringing out your DSLR, sometimes it's hard. The best camera is the one you have with you all the time, and that is the phone because you never go anywhere without it. From a fashion perspective, you can create content everywhere. You can do a fashion shoot with just the phone, make a beautiful narrative on video, and it's great with its capabilities.Geolette Esguerra, Editor in Chief of Metro Magazine
The best in its class
The Huawei P20 Pro is equipped with the world's first Leica triple camera system – a combination of a 40MP RGB sensor, a 20MP monochrome sensor, and an 8MP telephoto sensor to capture images with stunning clarity and detail. It's also capable of 3x Optical Zoom, 5x Hybrid Zoom, AI Stabilization, and more. All your content is viewed on its gorgeous 6.1-inch Full HD+ OLED display.
The device is powered by the Kirin 970 Neural Processing Unit, which incorporates AI into every aspect of the device and keeps it in top shape to deliver optimal performance while still being power efficient. There's 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. It runs on Huawei's EMUI 8.1 on top of Android 8.1 Oreo, and packs a 4,000mAh battery.
The Huawei P20 Pro retails for PhP44,990, and is now available in stores, along with the Huawei P20 (PhP34,990) and P20 Lite (PhP15,990).


Myth #10: The Careers Service will tell you what job to do.
Previous post: Myth #9: You need to know what you want to do in order to use the Careers Service.
Next post: Myth #11: You need to decide now what to do with the rest of your life.
That would make life a lot easier, wouldn't it? But sadly we're not fortune tellers. If anything, we're like a gym. You can have a membership at the best gym in the world but unless you're going regularly and putting the effort in, nothing is going to change. The Careers Service is the same. As we said in myth #9, we can recommend industries to you and help you work out what skills you'd like to use or what kind of environment you'd be happiest in, but ultimately you have to make the decision about what you'd like to do and what sort of work you'd enjoy.
We know it's not easy, and no one is expecting you to commit to one job role or sector for the rest of your life and have it all mapped out. Take it one step at a time, make use of the help we can offer and chat to your family and friends, and just figure it out what you might like to do over the next twelve months and make it happen. If you're stuck, our 'I don't know what I want to do' web pages can be a good place to get started.

For those of you that follow the movement of Opportunity, one of NASA's Mars rovers studying the surface of the Red planet, you may have noticed that it has stopped to smell the roses or, in this case, rocks. The rover has taken a break from its other investigative activities to closely examine some oddly shaped rocks that have never before been seen on the surface.
While most stars hang out in the Milky Way for millions or even billions of years in orbit of the center of the galaxy, the star known as US 708 is marching to its own drum.
While it may be a groggy Monday morning, after most of the world lost an hour this weekend in the readjustment of our clocks, a new animation from NASA reveals that you may be luckier than their satellites who are on the clock 24 hours a day. While you may know that many of the satellites like Aqua, Aura and CloudSat pass overhead everyday at 1:30pm, no matter where you are, you may not have given their movements much thought or ever fully realized exactly how many satellites are working for the space agency. But in celebration of NASA's newest achievement in having their Dawn satellite reach the dwarf planet Ceres, their giving us a new view of what orbiters do here at home.
According to NASA researchers in charge of Curiosity, the rover is set to most likely resume the use of its arm movements next week although investigations into the cause of the sporadic short-circuit are still ongoing.
Nicknamed the "Einstein Cross" after the famous physicist who predicted the possibility of the phenomenon as a result of his theory of relativity more than a century ago, the formation was made possible by a strange occurrence known as gravitational lensing. When a galaxy or cluster is large enough, they can often bend light that passes through it. And when they are rather perfectly aligned with Earth, even small events too far to be seen can be magnified so that researchers are able to detect them.

The Walking Stick is a very interesting and expressive craft. A walking stick can tell the history and nature of it's owner. After a time, it becomes very personal, because of the design of its mast head and the memories that attach to its memory strands.
I have made several of these as gifts for very special occasions... usually something like a Cub Scout Trainer Wood Badge "beading". My "sticks" stretch from Detroit to Dallas.
If you find the information in this page useful, please drop a dollar or two in an envelope and send it to my Boy Scout Council at Friends of Scouting, W.D. Boyce Council, BSA, 614 N.E. Madison, Peoria, IL, 61603. It will help us continue to deliver "good scouting" to the youth of our area.
Although you can use anything from a sapling to a broomstick, I prefer to use the scout stave as sold in the BSA catalog. Length and strength consistency satisfy my personal requirements.
Other materials include about 12 feet of leather boot lace, a small piece of 1/8" thick leather, a small sheep bell, and a hank of polyester craft and rug yarn.
The mast head may be carved or scrounged. For carving, I like 2" thick bass. I have also formed mast heads from 2" cubes of maple with one corner cut off and drilled (1" diameter by 3/4" deep).
If you expect to make more than one walking stick during the next year, you might prepare several sticks at once, because this is a rather messy step, and has lots of "wait time."
I prefer to attach mast heads by drilling a 1" hole in the base of the mast head and shaping the top of the stick to a 1" post which fits into the mast head. The base of the mast head and the shoulder of the post need to be quite flat, so that they mate well without gaps.
Lacking a specific shaping tool, I produce the shoulders by miter cuts (90 degree) across the stick and about 3/4" below the top. On a scout stave (1 1/8" diameter) these would be 1/16" deep all around, producing a diameter of 1" then shave from the end toward the cut to chip away the wood until its diameter is reduced to 1". It is useful to keep a gage consisting of a piece of pine with a 1" diameter through hole to assess progress on the shaving.
The end of the post is rounded, so it is useful to cut most of that dome off. Leave a bit of it, to simplify insertion of the post into the mast head.
Finally, drill a 1/8" hole through the post to use for hanging while the staff is drying. A bent piece of hanger wire is handy for hanging the staff.
Sand the shaft and foot of the walking stick with progressively finer sandpaper. Pay special attention to reducing the roughness of the bottom, which is often quite rough when new. The rounded foot of the staff can be turned while the staff is pushed into a piece of sandpaper in your other hand. Be careful only to sand across grain on that cut portion of the staff. The main part of the shaft should be sanded with the grain. This is readily accomplished be sliding the shaft back and forth through a piece of sandpaper that is held around the shaft by your other hand. For best results, turn the shaft slightly for each stroke.
Let your artistic bent take over. My preference is for a dark walnut stain, but you can even use left-over coffee, if you like!
My preferred procedure is to use a sandwich baggy as a glove, grab a piece of cloth, dip it in the stain and spread it around the staff. After it has had a few minutes to soak in, wipe it off with another cloth. If it isn't even or isn't dark enough, go after it again! When the color suits your taste, hang it to dry.
Cleanup your hands, if necessary, with "Goop."
When the stain is dry, sand it very lightly with very fine sandpaper. Then wipe it down with a tack cloth to remove any remaining particles. A bit of linseed oil in a clean, dry cloth works well as a tack cloth.
Here is the fun part! This is done without the plastic baggy glove! The reason is that the heat from your hand is an important part of the process.
Dip a clean rag in the linseed oil and spread the linseed oil lightly on the staff. Using your bare hand, urge the linseed oil into the wood by rubbing your hand along the length of the staff. If more seems to be needed, dip your fingers into the linseed oil. Stop adding linseed oil when the wood quits taking it in. Hang the staff to dry for a day or so.
Clean up your hands with soap and warm water.
A wrap of colorful, decorative yarn, such as rug yarn, makes an attractive hand grip. The hand grip should cover a length of 9 to 12" of the shaft and be located a comfortable height from the bottom end of the shaft.
The wrap starts with a clove hitch (short end down), at the bottom end of the hand grip. A spot of instant drying cement will help hold the knot firmly in place. The "wrap" is formed by "casting on" loops of yarn around the shaft, with the knot gradually shifting around the shaft to form a spiral. Consistent tension is necessary for the spiral to be constant. Spirals of 1/2" to 1" separation along the shaft are typical. The tighter the wrap, the shorter the separation.
Finally, at the top of the wrap, lock the knot with another spot of instant drying cement.
A three-strand five-bight version of the Turk's Head Knot as described in this page makes a very effective cover for the ends of the wrap. These knots are formed separately from about 72" leather boot lace, and adjusted in size until the slip snugly over the shaft and wrap. Before finally fastening the Turk's Heads in place, attach "memory strands" to the shaft with 1/2" brads. To do this you may have to slide the knot above it's final position, attach the memory strands and then slide the knot back down into place.
The picture at right shows the "memory strands" integrated in the knot. That is an older technique that I have replaced with the method described in this document.
Cut a 2" cube from wood. Cut one corner off the cube so that each side of the resulting equilateral triangle is approximately 2". Then drill about 3/4" deep into the center of the triangular face, being careful to make the hole perpendicular to the face. The corners of the triangle can be located by measuring 1.4" out from one corner of the cube, then connecting the dots!
Cutting is tricky. Try cutting a smidgen on the waste side of the lines, then sand the flat surface down to the lines.
Drilling can be tricky too. My best results have come by using a 1" Forstner bit in an ordinary drill press. Center the drill over the hole in the drill press plate. Use three equal thickness strips of wood, approximately 1/4" thick, against the top faces of the cube, and place the combination in the hole of the drill press plate, so that the strips of wood protect the cube from contacting the plate. Adjust the thickness of the wood according to the diameter of the hole in the plate. Just remember to keep all three sides of equal thickness.
Now, jiggle the cube until the top triangle face is level, i.e. perpendicular to the drill. Try the drill against the face to assure that it is centered. When all is centered and held in place, drill the hole 3/4" deep!
Decoration of the cube can take many forms. One idea that I have used is woodburn scout symbols onto the top 3 faces. Another idea is to burn the recipient's initials or Den totem or council name into a face. Still another is to paint the Cub Scout badges, e.g. Wolf, Bear and Webelos, on the three square faces and paint silver arrowheads on the lower three faces.
My wife's stick has a Beaver perched on the top, with four feet hugging the staff and tail out at attention. Another friend has a Fox sitting on a flat grassy knoll.
I won't pretend to give carving instructions... Either you can do it or you can't. If you can't and want to learn, find someone local to instruct you.
However, there is a best order to do things: Sketch, drill, carve!
If your staff will be used for ceremonial purposes, the linseed oil coating is probably sufficient. If it is going to be jammed against dirt and rocks, then more protection is in order. Several coats of spar varnish will protect it against water and dirt, but for heavy-duty walking, try a rubber crutch tip or a 1 1/8" O.D. by 1" long brass tube. Install by reducing the outside diameter of the staff as was done for the mast head. Lock in place with cement. Coat the exposed wood center with spar varnish.
Some of the decorations which I especially like are "memory strands" and a section above the hand grip holding a bell and tag. These are my own concept and design, although certainly others have done something similar before. For some background on the reason for the bell, I invite you to read The Legend of the Bell.
Memory strands are lengths of leather boot lace attached to the stick underneath the Turk's Head knots, usually the lower knot. They may be 18" to 24" long. Two under each knot are about as many as you should use lest the stick appear overburdened.
"Memories" are threaded onto a lace and held in place by a simple overhand knot. Depending on size, a separation of about 3" looks pretty good. The "memories" may be such mementos as patches or carvings. One "memory" I have planned for my stick is crystal containing ashes from my Vigil campfire.
The tag is a small (about 1" to 1.5") square of leather with the owner's name or initials and the date of origin burnt into it. After burning and punching, the square may be stained and sprayed with a protective such as "Saddlelac". A small brass or copper colored 1" sheep bell and the tag are threaded on a length of boot lace about 10" long. The lace is folded into a figure-8 with the bell on the top and the tag on the bottom. The center of the figure-8 is laid along the length of the stick about 4" above the top of the hand grip and fastened in place with 1/2" brads. The brads should be side by side. Finally, a length of boot lace is used to form a clove hitch around the stave and over the brads to "hold the attachments in place." About 1" of lace should protrude from each side of the clove hitch knot.

Hunky Dory este al patrulea album al cantautorului Englez David Bowie, lansat prin RCA Records în 1971. A fost primul său material lansat prin RCA, casă de discuri la care Bowie va apela pe tot parcursul deceniului.

Hunky Dory a fost descris de către criticul de muzică american Stephen Thomas Erlewine drept o colecție caleidoscopică de stiluri pop, formată de viziunea lui Bowie.

Albumul a primit recenzii pozitive de la începutul lansării lui pe piață, și este considerat unul dintre cele mai bune lucrări muzicale ale artistului.

Coperta albumului, fotografiată de Brian Ward și editată de Terry Pastor a fost influențată de cartea ilustrată a lui Marlene Dietrich, pe care Bowie a adus-o cu el la ședința foto.

Stil și teme
Cântecul de început, Changes, se referă natura compulsivă a reinventării artistice: Strange fascination, fascinating me

Changes are taking the pace I'm going through Artistul evocă de asemenea unele dintre influențele sale muzicale, prin titlul unor cântece: Song for Bob Dylan (Cântec pentru Bob Dylan) , Andy Warhol și Queen Bitch ( inspirat de The Velvet Underground).

Succesorul albumului hard rock al lui Bowie, The Man Who Sold the World , Hunky Dory prezintă parțial reîntoarcerea lui Ziggy Stardust (alter ego-ul lui David Bowie în perioada glam a anilor '70). Cântece precum Kooks (dedicat fiului său, cunoscut de public drept Zowie Bowie dar numindu-se Duncan Zowie Haywood Jones) și cover-ul Fill Your Heart stau alături de Qucksand (ale cărui versuri menționează Ordinul Ermetic al Zorilor Aurii ), de The Bewlay Brothers (cu referințe autobiografice).

Cântecul Oh! You Pretty Things, al cărui ritm pop acoperă versurile, este inspirat de Nietzsche, predicând înlocuirea iminentă a omului modern de către Homo Superior, și care a mai fost amintit în piesa Starman aflată pe următorul album al lui Bowie, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

Tracklist
 "Changes" (3:37)
 "Oh! You Pretty Things" (3:12)
 "Eight Line Poem" (2:55)

When Ph.D. stands for Problematic Hiring Detriment
By Adam Ruben Jan. 23, 2019 , 2:45 PM
A couple years ago, I attended a conference called "Engineering a Blockbuster Career." It was run by a biomedical institute, so I assumed—correctly, thankfully—that "Blockbuster" was being used as an adjective, as opposed to a reference to a job at a video rental store.
Attendees asked the panelists how to overcome various roadblocks in their career searches: "How can I network if I don't know anybody?" "How can I find a position despite lack of experience?" And, strangely, several people asked a question that sounded so counterintuitive that it was almost laughable.
"How," they asked, "do I find an employer willing to overlook my most flagrant disadvantage: my Ph.D.?"
I had always assumed that a science Ph.D. was a ticket to higher-level, higher-paying, more prestigious jobs. After all, why else would anyone spend years of impoverished misery to obtain one?
Heck, a Ph.D. is pretty much required if you want to become an industry supervisor, or a tenure-track professor, or whatever other designation makes you feel authoritative. Doesn't that alone make it beneficial?
But a surprising number of science job seekers on the front lines at this conference found their Ph.D.s to be not just irrelevant, but outright detriments. Hiring managers were rejecting their applications, saying that they'd love to offer them a job but, darn it all, this Ph.D. was getting in the way.
Last month's Experimental Error
Experimental Error is a monthly humor column from scientist and comedian Adam Ruben.
What's in a milestone? Reflecting on the life of a scientist
Read more Experimental Error
What unholy farce was this? Were the applicants letting their bitterness lead to exaggerations about the difficult job market? Or were these hiring managers under the mistaken impression that a Ph.D. is supposed to end your employability (hence, I suppose, the term "terminal degree")? Sure, Ph.D. holders may have quirks—not to mention a few unrealistic assumptions, like the belief that our dissertations will be read by more than zero people—but we're smart, dedicated people who would be an asset to any workplace. Wouldn't we?
It turns out that it depends on who you're asking. In the years since, I've confirmed that the perception of the detrimental doctorate is, in fact, a real phenomenon. So what's a Doctor of Philosophy in this position to do? The first step is to understand what, exactly, is going on.
Generally, the rejected applicants fell into two categories.
The first included scientists hoping to leave research and join a field in which a Ph.D. was uncommon. They reported having to confront the stereotype of the hyperfocused graduate student or postdoc who knows absolutely everything about isothermal titration microcalorimetry but when tying their shoelaces still has to repeat "over, under, around, and through; meet Mister Bunny Rabbit, pull and through."
And it's true that some scientists narrow their expertise so severely that their resumes are one line long—albeit a complicated and impressive line. But hiring managers should appreciate that obsessing over a single topic can be a hugely positive quality, especially if you can hire the Ph.D. holder to obsess over your company's topic.
The second category seemed crueler: Ph.D. holders who wanted to continue doing research yet found themselves rejected on the basis of that nonsensical word "overqualified."
They apply for bachelor's- or master's-level jobs, knowing full well that they're proposing to move down the career ladder. Maybe they're currently jobless and would gladly take a position simply to have paid employment. Maybe they just want to work on a fascinating project or get a foot in the proverbial lab door. Maybe personal factors led them to decide that they'd prefer a relatively low-pressure job.
You'd think any hiring manager would jump at the chance to employ a Ph.D. in such a position—they'd get a more qualified candidate who has openly declared that they're OK with the lower salary and title. Yet this is the point where the Ph.D. holder is dismissed as "overqualified."
YOU: I'd be happy to take this job, and I'd do it quite well.
THEM: You don't want it.
YOU: I insist that I do.
THEM: You wouldn't enjoy the work, and you'd balk at the pay.
YOU: With all due respect, that's for me to decide.
THEM: Nope.
YOU: Well … shoot. Then I guess I'll just sit here and eat my grilled cheese.
THEM: You don't want grilled cheese.
In other words, they think you think you're too good for them. And good luck convincing them that you're willing to accept the lower salary. In their eyes, you're a snooty up-and-coming executive who snubs any offer that doesn't include the private airport to which all Ph.D.s are presumably accustomed.
One friend of mine says an interviewer outright told her that he preferred to hire young twentysomethings, not post-Ph.D. scientists, because they (the twentysomethings) would be more willing to do the grunt work. What this interviewer failed to understand, she said, was that so much of science, at all levels, is grunt work.
If a Ph.D. is bad, a postdoc can be even worse. Another friend told me that a hiring manager he knows says it's especially common to reject anyone who's done a postdoctoral fellowship because such candidates are regarded as "failed academics" who are "settling" for the job. In other words, only a scientist seeking the tenure track would do a postdoc; only a scientist denied that tenure-track position would seek alternative employment; and any scientist in such a situation must reek with the stench of failure.
Even if you get the job, you may still face the stigma of the Ph.D. Yet another friend told me that he left academia with his Ph.D. in sociology to work for the federal government. He's now the only Ph.D. in an office full of lawyers who pigeonhole him as the "numbers guy" or "data expert." As a result, he says, he's often passed over for opportunities to lead projects that would require "'doers' rather than 'thinkers.'"
To be fair, there are valid reasons to reject candidates based on their advanced degrees and training. A Ph.D. holder in a low-level job is less likely to embrace that role for life, and no one wants to hire a candidate who might leave soon. Plenty of applicants probably assure the hiring manager that they're happy with a less senior role—then spend their days surprised and annoyed at their lack of autonomy. And it's not always easy for those indoctrinated by academic training to mentally switch their priorities and motivations to match those of their new employer.
If you're a Ph.D. candidate, recipient, or even someone considering the degree, where does this leave you?
You can take the rosy outlook, as one scientist encouraged earlier this month, advising readers not to be discouraged by the "misconception" that a Ph.D. can be a liability. The author cited his own career path, in which he benefited from ignoring the doubters and treating his degree as an asset. And it's true that completing a Ph.D. often means developing valuable skills—such as managing projects, interpreting data, solving problems, and hiding from your boss behind a file cabinet—that can be used in a variety of workplaces. Highlighting these aspects of your experience (except the hiding) may help you overcome the anti-Ph.D. hurdle.
But we can't dismiss the real experience that many scientists have had—of being told we've toiled and studied and learned, only to make ourselves less desirable in the workforce. Oops. Such is the wacky world of science careers we've signed up for.
So if you're pursuing a doctorate, or even just considering one, be aware that anti-Ph.D. sentiment is real. Don't go nuts and delete your dissertation or anything, but if you find yourself applying for a job that doesn't require a Ph.D., think carefully how you portray yours.
I wish I could recommend a course of action beyond that, but I can't. I'm overqualified.

How much are you paying for SEO services to help improve your search engine rankings? You may be wasting your money! Not because they're not providing you the services they promise, but because website add-ons may be dragging down your page load speeds – which can hurt your rankings in Google. Some dealers measure their chat success by how many leads it provides. And though sold units are a much better measure, there's one more that dealers should be EXTREMELY concerned about: SEO.
We actually learned this critical bit of information from several website providers and dealership digital marketing consultants who shared with us that the carefully engineered code from CarChat24 was the only website chat provider that didn't have a noticeable impact on page load times. That doesn't just mean that your SEO dollars may be wasted, but ALL of your website investment could be costing you car deals.
Essentially, this means that if website add-ons like chat are delaying your page load times, you are directly hurting your search rankings – and possibly wasting money on your SEO services. So it's possible that no matter how much money you throw at your search rankings, you could really be sinking your own ship. And it appears that recent algorithm updates from Google are putting more weight on page load speeds than they had been.
Use original content on your website. Search engines look for original and current content for rankings, not just the stale and often generic text in your website templates. Blogs are a great way to achieve this.
Digital marketing for the auto industry is constantly changing, and each change can have an unpredictable impact on your digital strategy. Our unparalleled commitment to product development with features like efficient website code and our conversion to next-generation 'SignalR' technology help car dealers protect their website and SEO investments, as well as (most importantly) sell more cars.

In its bulletin, Phivolcs said the tremor was registered at 1:11 a.m., Sunday morning (June 3).
The epicenter was plotted 203 kilometers southeast of Sarangani, Davao Occidental province, it said.
The tremor had a depth of 27 km, Phivolcs said.
No aftershock is expected.
The earthquake was tectonic in origin, the state agency said.
At 4:55 a.m. on the same day (June 3), a magnitude 3.5 tremor was also recorded and its epicenter was traced 173 km southeast of the same spot of Sarangani and province of Davao Occidental, with a depth of only 9 km, Phivolcs said, in its latest bulletin.
The tremor was also tectonic in origin and the state agency did not expect any aftershock or tsunami.
