Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.

www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.

http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.

www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.

www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.

www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free

The thing about Chimney is he's like...the only one that hasn't had a significant "I need to quit my job" discussion/arc. Sure, he left to find Maddie, but that was never about a "I don't know if I can help people" or "I am not in my right frame of mind" and it was clear he always, always planned on coming back if he could. I think genuinely he's just content and happy. He knows his place in the world now, he has his wife, his daughter, the baby on the way, his best friend, his brother and brother-in-law, his bantering on the edge of flirty relationship with his boss, and he gets to help people. He doesn't want to be captain, he doesn't want to become a doctor, he doesn't feel the need to constantly prove he's worthy of the job. He found where he belongs and he knows it. It's why he fought so hard to get Maddie back because he KNOWS he found something with her, and even if they weren't together romantically (which obviously that's where they'd end up) he knows that he needs her in his life and as a mom to Jee. And it's so interesting to see him get hurt and maimed and sick all the time. Because he's just a dude trying to get home to his wife and his family and his beautiful, beautiful life. It's what he wanted! And he's so so so different from everyone else in the show because he never seems like he questions if he deserves it. He had a little blip when Maddie was pregnant the first time, but it was covid so I mean, I get it. But every like deeply life threatening thing he goes through, he never says "maybe I deserve to die" or "maybe I deserve this horrible thing" or "maybe my life was going TOO well so I needed to be PUNISHED" He is very much a character who is like "I don't care, I love my life so much that I will let Ravi commit domestic terrorism to save me, and I won't even feel guilty" because Chimney is not a martyr! Bobby, especially would be like "leave me for dead pls" but Chim is like "I have a HOT wife, who attacked a serial killer with a HAMMER to defend me and I MUST get home to her no matter what." It's like he goes through this life or death circumstances all of the time, and he's like if this is the price I must pay for my BIG BEAUTIFUL HAPPY LIFE, then I will gladly do so. Hell, he even makes jokes along the way and whistles and chews his gum. There's no point to this, I just love Chimney and I love that he loves his life when in the beginning he seemed to be looking for more. I'm glad he found it.

Maddie: What’d you do?

Eddie: Threw him over one shoulder, Christopher over the other and walked out.
