Михаил Софронов (1729—1760) — , один из первых действительных членов Петербургской Академии наук из числа отечественных учёных.

Биография
В 1748 году В. К. Тредиаковский отобрал из Новгородской духовной семинарии для обучения в столице 6 семинаристов, из которых самыми способными оказались двое — Михаил Софронов и Филипп Яремский (кроме них упоминаются: «Иван Елисеев (Братковский) и Иосиф Полидорский, дети новгородских церковников Назар Герасимов и Игнатий Терентьев». Терентьев и Герасимов стали преподавателями Академической гимназии; И. Е. Братковский, И. Д. Полидорский служили в Географическом департаменте). Михаил Софронов осенью 1750 года был отмечен в Академическом университете как лучший студент и награждён за усердие. За два года сын дьячка из деревни Устюжна Новгородской губернии стал «звездой» университета. Ещё в конце 1749 года его назначили преподавателем арифметики в Академической гимназии.

Уже в декабре 1751 года специальным распоряжением по Академии наук Михаил Софронов был допущен к преподаванию математики студентам второго курса Академического университета. В декабре того же года он написал свой первый научный труд, «Метод определения давления воды на дугу окружности», получивший высокую оценку членов Петербургской Академии. Весьма высоко отозвался о работе почётный член Петербургской Академии наук, известный математик и физик Леонард Эйлер. Некоторое время после смерти Рихмана Михаил Софронов фактически заведовал Физическим кабинетом Академии наук. Вскоре Софронов уехал в Берлин, к Эйлеру, и пробыл там с июля 1754 по май 1755 года. К моменту возвращению в Россию Михаил Софронов был уже известен как крупный математик, диссертация которого, «О спрямлении дуг эллипса», заслужила высокую оценку его учителя и принесла автору должность адъюнкта Академии по математике. Однако бюрократическая обстановка, царившая в академии, засилие ученых-иностранцев, заботившихся не столько о развитии русской науки, сколько о личном обогащении, отсутствие материальных средств отрицательно повлияли на судьбу Михаила Софронова. Сначала его не сочли возможным использовать по специальности, а затем исключили из адъюнктов Академии наук. Талантливый математик трагически погиб в тридцатилетнем возрасте: 10 февраля 1760 года он замёрз на дороге вблизи проезжего дома на Выборгской стороне.

Although today is the first day of spring, it still feels much more like winter, which means there are still plenty of dangerous road conditions. If you find yourself stuck in a white out, it can be a very dangerous situation. Keep these cautious driving tips in mind to help stay safe on the road during a white out.
Slow down – keep in mind that speed limits are put up for good driving conditions, such as in the summer. Check your speedometer periodically when driving because it is very easy to speed up without realizing it.
Avoid abrupt movements – do not make any abrupt movements on the road, such as quick braking, accelerating, and steering.
Do not tailgate – keep a safe distance away from all cars in front of you. Leave more room than you typically would to give yourself enough time to stop.
Avoid lane changes – even if you are stuck behind a slow driver, try to stay in the same lane for as long as possible. Changing lanes can cause less visibility for other drivers on the road.
Do not use cruise control – using cruise control can limit the amount of control you have. If you tap your brakes while using cruise control, you can easily lose traction.
Look beyond the front car – do not focus on the car that is directly in front of you. Instead, keep your gaze further ahead so that you will be ready for what is coming up.
Defrost your windows – turn on the defroster for both your front and back windows. Do not use the recirculate button, since it can make your windows fog up even more.
For all of your auto insurance needs and to ensure that you stay safe while the snow is falling, contact Gee Schussler Insurance Agency in Orland Park, Illinois.

Celebrating Hanukkah among Tar Heel Christians
Hannukah, the Jewish festival of lights, offered pale competition for Christmas—puny candles against a dazzling tree, 'Rock of Ages' against the tyranny of carols and decorations that took over the stores, the radio, the schools, and the imagination of all my friends. Parents billed Hannukah as 'better than Christmas,' an unintentional error that placed a minor Jewish celebration beside Christianity on parade, like comparing sandlot baseball to the World Series. Hanukkah simply could never substitute—for one thing, it lasted eight days, and was almost always out of sync with Christmas, so you had to explain to your friends that you didn't sneak and open your Christmas presents early, but that your holiday was different; and that could lead to a 'You mean you don't celebrate Christmas? Why not?' So I usually played with my toys in secret until Christmas day. I would always save the gifts from my friends until Christmas morning because it didn't seem right to open gentile gifts on a Jewish holiday and, besides, if I waited I'd have a real surprise to talk about in the afternoon when they came over to show off their stuff, rather than pretending that I had ripped open eight-day old toys that very morning….It didn't make up for much when little Billy White said,'Gee, eight days of presents…I wish I was Jewish.'
-from Eli Evans's The Provincials: A Personal History of Jews in the South. Evans was born and raised in Durham, the son of E.J. "Mutt" Evans, the mayor of Durham from 1950-1962.The younger Evans graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1958 and Yale Law School in 1963. He worked as a speech writer on the staff of President Lyndon B. Johnson from 1964-1965. Evans served as a senior program officer for the Carnegie Corporation of New York from 1967-1977. In 1977 he joined the Charles H. Revson Foundation as president and remained in that position until his retirement in 2003. Evans's personal papers are held by the Southern Historical Collection at Wilson Library.

Winston-Salem's most boorish guest ever?
"Disappointed by soft ticket sales for an exhibition game against the Green Bay Packers, [Washington Redskins owner George Preston Marshall] called the host city of Winston-Salem… a 'lousy town.'
"Stung by the criticism, the Rotary Club invited him to take a tour of the city. He accepted, only to ridicule the R. J. Reynolds tobacco factory, the Western Electric plant and the airport and people who enjoyed flying. At an underwear plant, he said: 'I haven't worn an undershirt in 25 years. Only wear shorts. Guess I cut your business in half.'
" 'Winston-Salem turned the other cheek to critic George Preston Marshall,' wrote the Winston-Salem Journal, 'and he managed to slap it too.' "
— From "Showdown: JFK and the Integration of the Washington Redskins" by Thomas G. Smith (2011)
For entirely different reasons, Packers Coach Vince Lombardi had his own ill feelings toward Winston-Salem, where the teams played an annual exhibition 1955-60.

40 Olympians enlisted in WWI and 3 made the ultimate sacrifice. Nine medallists enlisted. Many fought and then went on to Olympic glory and some competed either side of the Great War.
On the centenary of the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli, the Australian Olympic Committee has compiled the following list of Olympians who enlisted in World War I (WW I) to recognise their service to the country.
Three members from the Stockholm 1912 team – Cecil Healy (swimming), Keith Heritage (rowing) and Claude Ross (athletics) – made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the war. Healy won gold and silver medals at Stockholm. He was one of nine medallists who enlisted.
One of Healy's Stockholm teammates who survived the war was triple swimming medallist Harold Hardwick (1 gold, 2 bronze). Another of the survivors was swimmer Frank Beaurepairewho was a dual medallist at each of London 1908, Antwerp 1920 and Paris 1924.
Six members of the gold medal-winning rugby team from London 1908 enlisted. After playing for the First Wallabies in 1908 Daniel 'Danny' Carroll won gold again in Antwerp 1920, for the United States. He served, and was decorated, with the US Army during the war.
In total, 16 men who returned from the war went on to compete at subsequent Olympic Games. Along with Carroll's historic second gold medal, other medallists were swimmers Ivan Stedman and Harry Hay who joined with Frank Beaurepaire to win relay silver at Antwerp 1920 and Nick Winter who won triple jump gold in Paris 1924.
The 40 Olympians who enlisted for WW I are associated alphabetically with this Olympic Feature. Click on an athlete's names to read his biography.

Q: Create a random string from a string I am trying to create a random string from a string.
$input = "123456789012345678901234567890";
$pieces = str_split($input);
$rand_keys = array_rand($pieces , 10);
$str = implode("", $rand_keys);
echo $str;

$input = "abcdefghilmnoABCDEFGHIKLMNO1234567890";
$pieces = str_split($input);
$rand_keys = array_rand($pieces , 10);
$str = implode("", $rand_keys);
echo $str;

But the output string is weird. Have a look: http://codepad.org/FwLU05DC
Both of them work: ( I prefer the first one)
    $input = "123456789012345678901234567890";
    $pieces = str_split($input);
    foreach(array_rand($pieces , 10) as $key){
        $str .= $pieces[$key];
    }
    echo $str;

string str_shuffle ( string $str )

Finally:
$pieces = str_split('12345678901234567890abcdefghiklmnopqrstuvxyzABCDEFGHIKLMNOPQTUSVXYZW');
foreach(array_rand($pieces , 15) as $key){ $str .= $pieces[$key]; }

A: Why can't you use str_shuffle?!
string str_shuffle ( string $str )

A: public function generateString($what, $length) {
    $chars = $what;
    $rand = '';
    for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
        $rand .= $chars[rand(0, strlen($chars) -1)];
    }
    return $rand;
}
$randstring = generateString($input, 10);
echo $randstring;

A: Here is your code updated to give you what you want ...
<?php
    $input = "123456789012345678901234567890";
    $pieces = str_split($input);
    foreach(array_rand($pieces , 10) as $key){
        $str .= $pieces[$key];
    }
    echo $str;
?>

Beirut – beautiful, elegiac, wistful, emotionally evocative…we could go on and on with the effusive adjectives, all of which are conveyed through Zach Condon's gorgeous tenor vocal, sensitive use of brass and deft addition of keys. Get the lighters out for 'Goshen' in particular – this one's going to be really special.
Afrocubism – Mali meets Cuba in an explosive world folk fusion that sambas into the ears and undulates straight down to the hips. With world music superstars, kora player Toumani Diabeté and guitarist Eliades Ochoa among the troupe, this will open your mind and galvanise your feet.
Revere – post-rock, klezmer, indie, folk, and anthemic, Patrick Wolf-style art-pop – Revere have a scatter-gun approach to music styles, pillaging instruments, genres and influences as they see fit. With no two songs the same, the ensuing result is wonderfully baffling and often quite beautiful.
Andrew Bird – man of many musical talents, folk superstar Andrew Bird brings some gravitas to the proceedings. We can't wait to hear material from new album 'Break It Yourself' performed live. Jingly-jangly, effervescent and ephemeral, this is pure, distilled loveliness.
Austra – atmospheric electro nu-goth you can dance to.
Modeselektor – hiphop, dubstep, house…no dance genre left unturned. You'll find us at the front of the stage with our head in a speaker.
Metronomy – ever since That Song was on That Advert we haven't been able to get them out of our heads.
Grimes – quirky electronic brilliance that draws on Japanese pop, among other diverse influences. Intelligent and utterly unique.

Members of the 'gilets jaunes' – the anti-globalist yellow vest movement sweeping France – have announced that they will partake in a 5th round of demonstrations this weekend, although others have called for a truce after Tuesday night's terror attack in Strasbourg.
Despite President Macron bowing to some of their demands during a live televised speech on Monday, the revolt is far from over, with more protests planned for Saturday.
8,000 police officers will be deployed in Paris, while 89,000 police and gendarmes will be deployed throughout the country.
Chantal Perrotin, a yellow vests leader in the Rhônes-Alpes region, said the gilets jaunes were not indifferent to what happened in Strasbourg, but that more rallies should take place because Macron has yet to address demands for direct democracy and wage increases.
While it's certain that there will be protests this weekend, their numbers look set to be a lot smaller than previous weekends.

"Where Can I Find A Really Big Glass of Beer in Disney World?"
If you've ever asked yourself this question, I definitely have the answer for you: Biergarten.
While you may be able to find large quantities of brew through beer flights and pints at other watering holes, the place to really indulge in a massive stein of golden goodness while relaxing and enjoying a show is at this fun, rollicking spot in Epcot's Germany pavilion.
Liter of Beer at Biergarten
Trust me — that thing is bigger than your head. And the drink menu is even shaped like a stein. That's how you know you're in a place that's known for its beer!
Biergarten Drink Menu
Biergarten Beer Menu -- click for larger image
The massive liter of beer will set you back $13.00 in cost…and will likely set you back for the afternoon when you're finished! Here's a word of warning: We do not recommend scheduling a Food and Wine Festival Beer and Pizza tasting immediately after ordering a liter of beer in Germany. 😉
Now, the picture above looks like a big mug of beer, but I'd like to give you a little perspective. Here's how big these things really are. (FYI — sadly, that's not me in the pic. Thanks to M. Carrera for the use of the photo!)
Celebrating With Steins!
So, like I said, when you want a big ol' glass of beer, Biergarten is the place to go! But I'd love to hear your input!

That should only be sold with a detailed map of all the EPCOT restrooms!
Rich T. says
I am still upset that they switched from the Spaten festbier to the Altenmunster. Not only was the Spaten a better-tasting beer, but it was a true beer consumed at the real Oktoberfest, unlike the Altenmunster.
Lisa D says
The only "problem" with the 1 L beer at Biergarten is that you can only order it (to my knowledge) when you eat at the restaurant. While this isn't awful (because the buffet is great and the entertainment is fun), it would be nice to be able to sit and have a liter of Hovels (my favorite!) when "drinking around the world." Hopefully the future installment of the wine bar in Italy and the success of La Cava del Tequila in Mexico indicates that a beer room is on the way! And if it isn't yet, hopefully someone at Disney Imagineering reads this!
Wow! I need to tell my husband, he would love to test that out!
Gordon says
I LOVE the Beer at Germany and after going to Munich last year I am even keener to get my fix of all things Germanic at Epcot this year. The Dunkel (dark) beers are a thing of pure joy and looking at those pics whets my appetite even more. A Pretzel and a Stein will be a priority when I hit Epcot
AJ says
Elizabeth — Ha ha!! Or a fastpass to the bathroom like you can get at Whispering Canyon Cafe!
Rich T — Thanks for the review and details!
Lisa D — Yes, indeed — you can only order this when you're at the restaurant. Even Sommerfest next door only sells half liters.
Melissa — Yay! Enjoy!
Gordon — Sounds GREAT to me!!!
Mark Hickson says
I think it's smart that you can only order it with food. Imagine drinking one of those liter's on an empty stomach! (where is my hotel room?)
Even as a veteran beer drinker that liter of good German beer is intimidating. Really, it's just 3 regular bottles but alas, I guess I'm just getting older. Twenty-five years ago, I'd do a few.
As far as my favorite spots just give me a table at the Hole in the Wall at Raglan Road and I'm a happy man.
JoAnn says
That's a lot of beer. I attempted to drink a liter of beer in Munich a few years ago. I couldn't do it. I gave it the old college try though.
Scott says
I came. I saw. I conquered. I dropped that liter of Oktoberfest beer like third period French. I look forward to the next time.
Galloping Gourmand says
So my mom and I are at Epcot for the Flower and Garden Festival, which my mother had been looking forward to attending for years. At Germany we stop for a beer and decide to split a 1/2 liter. After taking a few swallows I leave to find a restroom and when I come back the whole beer is gone.
"Mon, did you drink the whole beer??"
"Yes. It's just a glass of beer. I'll get you another."
"No thanks." I reply, knowing what's coming up. It was 11:30. We hadn't had lunch.
For the next 2 hours we go through the festival at lightning speed. Mom's running around saying, "look at that gotta keep moving wow look at that hey did we see America let's go back and see America. Oh Canada my home and sacred land! Did we see the butterflies? Eric where are we?" It was like touring with a hyperactive Dory. Where are we, what did we just see, just keep swimming.
I get her back to our hotel room where she falls, literally falls, on the bed at 2:30. At 6 she wakes up and says, "Eric, you're up! It's not even 6! What time does Epcot open?" I explain what happens and she thinks for a minute. "I don't remember anything. Oh god I missed the festival!"
She wasn't drunk, hung over, or anything. We went to Epcot to finish the day. Even though we missed our reservation at Le Cellier we managed to get into Bistro de Paris, and caught Illuminations just as we left. We went back to Epcot the next day.
Mom hasn't had a drink at any Disney property since, and that's the only visit where I haven't been to all 4 parks (including my one-day trips).
GG – Thanks for the great story. It put a smile on my face, it's like a something that would happen in my family. Bravo!
ShaeLee says
My husband had the liter when we ate at Biergarten. The beer's are delicious and the food is fantastic! I was pleasantly surprised when I made it through a 1/2 liter of beer. I think we had to be rolled out of the restaurant.
chantel says
Our last visit to Biergarten was "blaaaahhhhhh-ed" by our tablemates. The hubs was in the middle of ordering beer, and I wine, when the woman next to me asked us "not to" since she & her companion were recovering alcoholics. UMMMM shouldn't that have been their table request at check in? Not to be the "bad guys" we refrained, but aren't planning to eat there again, unless we have enough people to fill our own table! Talk about awkwardness.
Trudie says
Do you which beer they are drinking in the picture? I love dark beer! I have an ADR for Biergarten at the end of March, and I want to know which beer to order (I'll never make it through more than one).
The Biergarten is a regular stop for me (love the atmosphere), but the Rose and Crown beer selection has a more authentic beer taste for me. The beers and especially the pretzels at Biergarten do not have the freshness or taste as served in Munich, but still pretty good. The trouble with the Biergarten is that when you're enjoying your liter there is another party at your table with some kids looking at your litre and giving you the "your an alcoholic aren't you and now we are stuck with him" look. Prost!
William Wells says
Nein, nein. Das ist zu viel Bier für mich. 1.2 litre is fine for me. I like to see more of EPCOT. Not the inside of restrooms. Besides, there is the Crown and Rose pub to go yet. With fish and chips.
Gabby Bladdick says
Great review! We'd love to stop by for a regular German beer or perhaps a flight (not 1L), can we order that even if we do not eat at the restaurant? Thanks!
Great review! We'd love to stop by for a regular German beer or perhaps a flight (not the 1 Liter), can we order that even if we do not eat at the restaurant? Thanks!
Josey says
Hi! Do you know if you can go to Biergarten in Epcot *just* for a beer–or if we have to make a reservation for dinner? Thanks!!
Josey — Wow, a great question!! I was originally going to answer that of course you can go in just for a beer, but come to think of it, with the buffet, I'm not sure that's allowed (e.g. "if you sit, you pay"). I'll check on that for you and get back to you!
Paul Holmes says
This beer is nothing for us in the UK or Germany- on a night out with our work colleagues or friends, it would not be abnormal to put away 6 or more pints of beer.
Come on people of USA, man up!
I will be here in August 2016 to sample a few of these.

Patients as partners
Topic tags:
Hervé Basset reports from the Health 2.0 workshop held recently in Lyon, France
Social networks, blogs, wikis and other patient communities are revolutionising access to medical information, the relationships of patients with their physicians, and the communication between pharmaceutical companies and their customers.
In March, the health sector of the ADBS (Association des professionnels de l'information et de la documentation), the professional association for librarians and information professionals in France, organised a workshop in Lyon, entitled "Health 2.0... challenges and opportunities for medical information".
This workshop, which was attended by 70 information professionals, mainly from the public sector and the pharmaceutical industry, was an opportunity to discuss health 2.0, a term that Philippe Eveillard, one of France's experts in medical information, defined as knowledge created by patients.
The role of the patient
Health 2.0 brings a new player into the cycle of medical information, the patient, who was until recently a mere spectator in his health. Throughout the meeting, patients (e-patients and expert patients) were at the heart of every conversation. The example of the community Contribution Cancer illustrates the willingness of patients to take more responsibility in the health system and to be involved in decisions that will impact the health of their fellow citizens in future years.
Giovanna Marsico, as project manager of Pôle Citoyen, the patient-communication part of French cancer research cluster Cancer Campus, is a passionate advocate of the role of citizens. She expects that, through the use of new technologies, patients will become 'players' in the health system by positively influencing the medical profession and political decisions.
To meet this increasingly strong social demand, healthcare professionals are starting to share their experiences on social networks or developing their own blogs, such as Doctors Web-Masters. This is a deep evolution in medical knowledge. Although it ultimately has little effect upon the medical practitioner in their office, it profoundly influences the amount of health information available on the web to the layman.
This trend can sometimes lead to an overestimation of disease severity and so validation of medical information available on the web is vital. The explosion of medical online information and mobile devices tap into the core values of librarians such as: information validation; sharing and dissemination; and expertise versus lay knowledge. Librarians in this sector, like other health professionals, must now look at patients as new partners, as consumers of medical news, as influencers of the health system and as new sources of medical information.
New initiatives are also allowing health professionals to take back control. In exchange for personal data, the patient could receive personalised information, advice and tailored services delivered by health professionals, possibly with the support of medical associations or medical insurance companies.
Some of the more – and less – successful attempts by the pharmaceutical industry to engage through social media were also described at the meeting. These initiatives are the result of a new industry strategy to get closer to patients and clients. They represent a desire to improve the brand image, visibility and e-reputation of drug manufacturers.
This strategy results in a commitment to communicate further via social networks such as Facebook and Twitter but these attempts are hindered, for now, by a reluctance of regulatory authorities that do not allow a direct dialogue between patients and labs. The supposed freedom of Web 2.0 is often confronted with legal reality and some of the less admirable aspects of the web, such as misbehaviour of employees and fake drug sites.
Some experts predict, however, that the future business model of the pharmaceutical industry will be the Pharma 3.0 model. In this model, information as a service delivered to the medical community (health professionals and patients) will be the added value that big pharmaceutical companies will provide to maintain their competitive edge against the generic and counterfeit industries. Within 15 years we will have moved from Web 2.0 to 3.0, where the pharmaceutical business model is no longer based solely on the sale of drugs but also on the provision of services to ensure public health and wellbeing.
Just as Apple does not simply sell devices such as the iPhone and iPad but also the services and content around them (iTunes and apps), the value of the products (the drugs) themselves will become weaker and the added-value services offered by the drug industry around these products will become increasingly strong. This might be in partnership with medical communities, sites of scientific information, applications and mobile devices. As specialists in scientific and medical information, librarians, business intelligence specialists and community managers will certainly have a role to play in this exchange of knowledge.
Changing librarian processes
Similarly, the adoption of 2.0 technologies in companies can change the business processes of librarians. Joël Brun, an information scientist at Sanofi-Pasteur, testified how, in his company, librarians are now "embedded" in R&D project teams, as specialists in scientific monitoring of vaccines, information analysts and corporate knowledge brokers.
In this approach, information collection is based on RSS feeds from science sources such as literature, patents, science news and clinical data. In addition, a dedicated librarian (called a knowledge broker) is involved in key new vaccine project teams. The most important data (articles, patents, news) are posted into SharePoint after a very basic manual process to enrich it with internal metadata (project name, tags, comment, etc.). A newsletter is sent directly from the system to share selected news within the team. Every team member is encouraged to add his/her expertise through new comments to make the best of each piece of information.
The solution has been implemented into SharePoint 2007 with the help of Sword Group (an international services and software company based in Lyon) and will be updated to SharePoint 2010 very soon. The success of the project particularly emphasises the importance of information specialists' computer skills and their greater visibility and proximity within scientific teams.
The concept of Health 2.0 is marked by a strong demand by patients / clients who see themselves as new actors in their health system and who research medical information themselves on the web. Medical professionals, pharmaceutical companies and information professionals will all need to evolve to embrace the new possibilities that this change brings.
Hervé Basset is an information professional in the pharmaceutical industry. He is also the author of the book From Science 2.0 to Pharma 3.0: Semantic search and social media in the pharmaceutical industry and STM publishing, which will be published in July 2012 by Chandos Publishing. The book considers the Web 2.0 revolution, and the promise of its impact on science communication and the state of Science 2.0. It looks at the impact on the pharmaceutical industry and health and at the promising disruptive technologies of Web 3.0, including semantic search in biomedicine and enterprise platforms.

2.0 alternatives for accessing Medline
As the requirements in terms of Health 2.0 are increasing, medical databases such as Medline are struggling to provide user-friendly interfaces that are accessible to non-specialists. Many people end up using PubMed "as Google" and missing the rich functionality of the tool.
Born as the first "open" biomedical database, PubMed (the Medline database maintained by the National Library of Medicine in the USA) freed medical information at a time where databases were only available through restricted interfaces such as STN or through CD-ROMs in public libraries. PubMed has obviously been an enormous success within the research and medical communities and is by far the leader platform for searching Medline. Despite a very poor evolution since 1996, the NLM's website is still the preferred source of millions of physicians, medicine students and academics. But is this huge success (3.5 million searches per day!), a 'triumph or a disaster', to quote a famous post (Duncan Hull. Twenty million papers in PubMed: a triumph or a tragedy? O'Really, July 27, 2010, duncan.hull.name/2010/07/27/pubmed-20-million)?
Information professionals despair of ever seeing the day when some elements of semantic search are introduced into PubMed. Meanwhile, the layman who needs to search for medical literature from time to time would like to have a "Google-like" basic search form and, moreover, would like to access the PDF files as fast as possible. End-users don't really want 'search engines' but 'find engines'.
Born on these expectations and issues, some alternatives have appeared in recent years. We have counted more than 30 serious initiatives that give the same content as PubMed. Among them, GoPubMed and PubGet, recently acquired by the CCC organisation, are probably the most famous.
GoPubMed has introduced automatic clustering filters that are helpful to identify quickly opinion leaders, key journals within a field or genes association. It is a brilliant semantic tool that will delight those who have complex queries to perform in Medline.
PubGet, in its favour, is an amazing tool to retrieve free and legal PDF files. The search experience is based on article availability and not on keyword relevance or completeness. This approach appeals especially to the younger generation, who want to find documents with a minimal amount of time spent in bibliographical databases. Like Google Scholar, PubGet has sometimes been compared to a fast-food restaurant for getting medical literature as fast as possible.
The latest and most noticeable alternative is a French initiative called BibliMed, developed by Francois Boutin, a programmer and teacher in medical information mining at Montpellier's university, who spoke about it at the Health 2.0 workshop. With the motto 'Be efficient, Be easy, BibliMed', BibliMed offers a smart solution to accessing Medline content with an interface that provides the simplicity of Google and the wealth of PubMed.
It combines several benefits of previous alternatives – an intuitive interface and rapid access to content – but it also offers advanced search features to ease iterative relevant queries. For instance, it offers contextual suggestions of MeSH descriptors, the Medline thesaurus – in French and English – as well as qualifiers, links and filters.
PubMed now has serious competitors on the market, and, except for long-term habits, I do not see objective reasons why end-users will continue to use the old-fashioned PubMed interface. I encourage researchers, librarians and health professionals to switch their medical queries to most recent alternatives such as GoPubMed, PubGet and BibliMed, and to enjoy search 2.0 experiences.

Intense Mission over Rabaul
Three B-26s from the 408th Squadron, 22nd Bomb Group took off from Seven Mile for Vunakanau, Rabaul on May 24, 1942. For one pilot, 2/Lt. Harold L. Massie, this would be his first mission as a first pilot. It was co-pilot 2/Lt. Eugene Wallace's second combat mission. The three planes flew through overcast skies as they neared New Britain, but their flight leader, Lt. Ralph L. Michaelis, spotted a hole in the clouds near Rabaul. When they reached the target area, they discovered it was still covered by clouds. Still, there was a gap a few miles away and Michaelis decided his flight could use that to their advantage. The plan was to make one north-south run at low-level and get out of the area as fast as possible. At the time, Rabaul was a Japanese stronghold and three B-26s were no match for the heavily defended airdrome.
As they made their run, Japanese antiaircraft gunners let loose with a barrage of ack-ack, and hit two of the three B-26s. As Michaelis put it, "While over the target each member of the crew had had a close call." Only one man in his plane, the bombardier, was injured when a tracer bullet went through his seat and cushion, stopped right next to his skin and burned him. He and 1/Lt. McCutcheon, the pilot of the third B-26, made it back to base safely. Massie's plane was not so lucky. It was hit in the starboard engine and last seen smoking badly. The final radio transmission mentioned that they reached Wide Bay. While the plane had been doing ok on one engine, it wasn't enough power to keep it in the air and Massie ditched about a mile offshore. Two of his crewmen, Pvt. Joseph C. Dukes and Cpl. Wolenski, were not seen after the landing. The others were helped to shore by Papuans. On July 27th, they split up. Massie and bombardier 2/Lt. Arthur C. King went one way and the other four went another way.
The photographer, S/Sgt. Jack B. Swan, broke his shoulder in the crash and died in his sleep on August 23rd. He was buried in the abandoned village of Ubili. His surviving crewmembers were eventually located and helped by an Australian plantation owner. They were finally rescued on March 25, 1943, and that incredible story is told in full in Revenge of the Red Raiders. Massie and King were captured by Papuans who subsequently turned them over to the Japanese. They were executed at Rabaul on October 12, 1942.

Repost: The Ordeal of the Herry Crew
While looking through our blog archives, we rediscovered a post about Capt. Robert Herry, Maj. Williston M. Cox, and the rest of a 71st Squadron B-25 crew that went down on August 5, 1943. Today, we're reposting the dramatic story.
When Maj. Williston Cox, C.O. of the 38th Bomb Group's 71st Squadron, took off aboard MISS AMERICA on August 5, 1943, he had no idea it would be the last mission he would fly.
That day, his squadron was assigned to attack shipping targets near Alexishafen, New Guinea. Cox was riding along as the mission commander. After meeting up with their P-38 fighter cover at Mt. Yule, the crews flew on towards the target area, where they were greeted with heavy antiaircraft fire from Madang Township. Capt. Robert Herry, the pilot of MISS AMERICA, was nearing Madang when his B-25's right engine was hit and severely damaged. While Herry managed to keep the plane under control, there was no way it would make it back to Allied territory. He set the plane down near Wongat Island, about three-quarters of a mile away from Madang.
MISS AMERICA sinks after pilot Capt. Herry was forced to ditch the B-25 near Madang.
Herry's tail gunner, S/Sgt. Raymond J. Zimmerman, died in the crash. The rest of the crew fared better with only superficial wounds and headed towards the island. Unfortunately, the crew was discovered on Wongat Island by natives who turned all but one crewmember over to the Japanese. The navigator, Lt. Louis J. Ritacco, was hiding in a tree at the time and wasn't discovered for four more days, but would join the rest of his crew in prison. Herry, Cox, co-pilot 1/Lt. Robert J. "Moose" Koscelnak, and radio operator T/Sgt. Hugh W. Anderson were taken to Madang, where they were held for about 12 days.
Before Cox was locked in prison, he was separated from the rest of his crew and interrogated. He was beaten for not answering any questions, and only then allowed to join the rest of his crew in prison. On their third day as captives, a Japanese interpreter was brought in to interrogate the men. Cox asked if the Japanese would take him to speak to the commander at Madang, but was told the commander wasn't there at the time. Once the commander returned, Cox's request was granted.
The Japanese commander tried to question Cox regarding base locations, the number of U.S. planes in New Guinea and which unit Cox was from. He did not provide the commander with answers and cited international law that protected soldiers from disclosing such information. Prior to the war, Maj. Cox had completed three years of pre-law and was well-versed in these matters. He asked the commander to give his crew food and water, as they had only been given sustenance once in the last four days. They were fed, and later questioned as well.
Over the next five days, the crew was questioned by a Japanese intelligence unit and endured beatings when they refused to answer. Afterwards, they were left alone for two days. The next day, Cox and Herry were separated and told they would be taken to Rabaul for more questioning. On the way, they were stopped by a group of Japanese soldiers who took Herry back to prison. Completely separated from the rest of his crew, Cox was taken to an Alexishafen airstrip, tied to a coconut tree for three days and beaten. In that time, he was never given food and water only twice. Following this ordeal, Cox was taken to Rabaul, where he would stay until November 11, 1943.
Major Cox before he was taken captive in August 1943.
From there, he was sent to Omori Prison on Tokyo Bay, where he managed to survive for the rest of the war. Maj. Cox weighed only 115 pounds when the POW camp was liberated on August 29, 1945. The rest of the crew was executed on August 17, 1943.

Shot Down over Yulin Bay: Part 2
About an hour and a half after 1/Lt. James McGuire crashed in Yulin Bay on March 30, 1945, a Japanese patrol boat inspected the crash site. Men hauled McGuire and the other survivor, 2/Lt. Eugene L. Harviell, aboard, then offered them some tea. The men gratefully drank it and let the sun warm them as they rode back to shore. The Japanese tied their hands behind their backs and led them off the boat, through a bad-tempered crowd (someone threw a rock at McGuire) and onto a truck. From there, they were taken to Samah, where they would spend the rest of the war as POWs. That night, McGuire and Harviell were given bottles containing tea, but no food. They spent a long, uncomfortable night wondering if they would be shot the next day.
The next morning, they were untied and each given a tennis ball-sized portion of rice, followed by some tea. Afterwards, they were interrogated separately about MacArthur's plans and the base's dispersal area. A few weeks before their capture, the 345th had been told by a Navy intelligence officer to tell the Japanese whatever they wanted to know in order to avoid being tortured. At this point of the war, it wouldn't matter if they had this information. The interrogations stopped after a couple of days.
A couple of weeks into their imprisonment, Harviell, who had suffered burns on his entire right side before the crash, was given treatment. Though the POWs were not beaten or tortured, as happened at other Japanese POW camps, they didn't receive nearly enough food and water. Their diet consisted of white rice, tea, "fish soup" (warm water that tasted fishy) and on rare occasion some seaweed. McGuire befriended one of the guards who brought the men a little extra food or vitamin powder a few times and did other small favors for them. But without proper nutrition or real medical care, the men continued to deteriorate. By the end of July 1945, they suffered from malaria and beriberi, a vitamin deficiency that swelled the lower limbs and caused pain when walking. Harviell was left unable to stand, and the Japanese guards punished him by shrinking his already small rations. On death's door, Harviell simply stopped trying to live.
Six days later, the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 16th. The three remaining prisoners on Samah were taken to a nearby hospital and treated for their illnesses. From then on, they were also given nourishing meals as well as alcohol. McGuire and the other prisoners finally left the island at the end of the month, and eventually returned to the U.S. after further recuperation in Allied hospitals.

No matter how the industry changes, thatch tile will always leave some place in people's hearts _ industry Knowledge _ Foshan Decorative Materials Co., Ltd.
Retro-simulated architectural cultural landscape, from the advent of today, has more than 2000 years of history, with the development and progress of technology,Thatch TileAlso experienced several changes, from the earliest just harvesting thatch, and then simply paved on the roof as a rain-covered thatched tile began, to follow-up more than 1000 years of continuous weaving process, and then this yearSimulated thatch Tile, with the continuous progress of materials and weaving process, innovation, as well as cultural iterations, the changes in thinking, thatch from the initial shelter to the present more decorative role, has been the process of evolution, has never been a cold shoulder, in people's minds, always have a piece of thatched tile of the obsession.
Thatched tile has developed for so many years, from the material can be divided into natural thatch and simulated thatch two types of thatched tile, two kinds of materials have their advantages and disadvantages, the vast number of customers can according to their own needs to purchase selection.
The biggest difference between the natural thatch tile and the simulated thatched tile is that there is a big gap between the service life of the two, and the life span of the natural thatch tile is only about 2-3 years, but it needs a lot of maintenance to prevent the worm, mildew and fire. Relatively speaking, the maintenance costs will be relatively high, the details can be seen by the company dedicated to natural thatch tile, the introduction of the real thatch or consulting rice decoration materials colleagues.
Now the application is more extensive, customer recognition degree is higher than the simulation of thatched tile gradually replaced the position of the natural thatch tile, the simulation thatch tile has the advantage of the natural thatch tile can not compare, fire prevention, pest control and so on, the maintenance of the latter basic zero.
With the progress of technology, the development of the industry, thatched tile from beginning to end has been in our side, guarding our hearts of traditional culture.

Rhode Island goes for Clinton in big way
Katherine Gregg,Richard Salit
kgregg@providencejournal.com
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Hillary Clinton captured the Rhode Island vote for president on Tuesday.
As of 10 p.m., she was leading Republican Donald Trump with 53.6 percent of the Rhode Island vote to his 39.7 percent, according to an unofficial Board of Elections tally.
In 2012, by way of comparison, President Barack Obama won the state with 62.7 percent of the vote, with only three towns giving a majority to Republican Mitt Romney: East Greenwich, Scituate and West Greenwich.
Trump laid claim to many more of Rhode Island's smaller cities and towns, including Burrillville, Coventry, Exeter, Foster, Glocester, Hopkinton, Johnston, Lincoln, Scituate, West Greenwich, West Warwick and Westerly while votes were still being tallied.
But Clinton ran strongest in the vote-heavy urban core, including Providence, where she led with 81 percent of the vote.
History was on Clinton's side in Rhode Island, where voters went with the Democrat in the last seven presidential elections, including for her husband, Bill Clinton.
But it was never a given.
Rhode Island's political elite, including U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, U.S. Rep. David N. Cicilline and Governor Raimondo, lined up behind Clinton. But the state's voters favored Bernie Sanders over Clinton in Rhode Island's April presidential primary. Sanders led with 54.7 percent of the vote, well ahead of Clinton's 43.1 percent. Trump led with 63.6 percent of the GOP vote that day.
In contrast to battleground New Hampshire, with the same four electoral votes as Rhode Island, there was no big TV advertising push here in the final days, only a ground game that saw the Clinton troops make a last-lap push for the entire Democratic ticket, from Hillary on down to local town councils.
There were phone banks run out of state Democratic Party headquarters and about a dozen satellite locations.
At midday Tuesday, Trump's Rhode Island chairman, state Rep. Joseph Trillo, said: "Our most important mission right now is the battleground states ... although I still remain optimistic that we are going to prove all the political pundits wrong and Trump is actually going to carry Rhode Island, after the Democrats have successfully stacked at least 25,000 ballots for Hillary Clinton."
Asked what he meant by "stacking," Trillo talked about "all this early-voting, provisional-ballot voting ... all this stuff that's been going on with unprotected ballots being handed in here and there. ... They are rounding up people [who] don't even know where they live."
Voters made their decisions for many different reasons.
Greg Palmer, who's 50 and in sales, cast a vote for Trump "because of Hillary's issues with honesty."
At the polling site at the Aspray Boat House in Warwick's Pawtuxet Village, Stephen Connell said Trump had his vote "because he is not a veteran politician. ... He seems like a guy next door, a regular guy."
"I did not vote for Trump," said Clinton voter Richard Johnson, 80, as he left his polling station in Barrington. "I cannot stand the man. That sums it up."
After moving to the United States from Guatemala 11 years ago, Lilliana Garcia is still not proficient in English. But she was willing and able to say she voted for Clinton and to explain why.
"I don't like Trump," she said. "He speaks bad of Spanish people. Hillary, she does not."
"When a woman can be president of the United States, it says something to my daughter," said Wesley Mello, who is black, outside Park View Elementary School in Cranston. "Nothing is impossible."
Saira Hussain, after leaving the polls at East Greenwich High School, said: "I would have preferred Bernie," but "he asked us to vote for Hillary, and I trust him."
"I am choosing the lesser of two evils," said the 48-year-old physician. "I don't think Trump is good for the country. He has no solutions. He is very obnoxious. You can't make America great by insulting people and being mean to people."

Zheng Shuang and Kris Wu Think Each Other are Unsuitable for Dating
Zheng Shuang (郑爽) held a live stream event on August 21 to celebrate her 29th birthday that falls on the following day. The live stream, which was also one that introduced products for sale, became a talking topic and the hashtag "Zheng Shuang live stream" was trending at #1 on Weibo. For one, Zheng Shuang got real candid about how she wanted to do the stream and didn't like the way the broadcast was being conducted to continuously sell products. She felt uncomfortable and urged her fans to be wise consumers. At one point, her two co-hosts stepped away while Zheng Shuang continued venting.

Alleged Recording Suspected to be of Zheng Shuang and Her Parents Suggesting to "Abandon, Give Up Babies for Adoption" with Zhang Heng's Father
Another talking point in the live stream was when one of the hosts asked Zheng Shuang if she wants to date. Zheng Shuang expressed that she doesn't think she is a suitable person for dating. She explained, "I think my condition is especially good. I really don't think I am suitable to date." The male co-host then joked, "This will probably trend on the hot search list."

Zheng Shuang explained she filmed a variety show with Kris Wu (吴亦凡) previously and they started talking. Zheng Shuang expressed, "Because everyone thinks we are like 'siblings in hardship'. He would say to me, 'You really aren't suitable for dating'. I said to him, 'Why do you think that? You aren't suitable for dating either.'". When asked how she knows he isn't suitable, Zheng Shuang explained, "It's that…[he's] kind of silly when it comes to love."

Since her early 20's J has suffered from depersonalization and derealisation. This condition is commonly referred to as the "living death" as some who experience this problem are here, but not here, if you get what I mean. They do not experience the full sensory experience of life.
For J on a good day it was as if she was observing herself, rather than experiencing life from inside her body. On a bad day it would be as if she was observing herself, but even more removed from the experience. It was as if things were not real!
Now I definitely think there is more that is needed to be done here, but it certainly fills me with hope.

Little Free Crown Point
April 17, 2021 June 4, 2021
Peggy Goddard
New to The Point
You might have noticed that there are a growing number of tiny lofts on the lawns and in the gardens of homes across our Crown Point community. Standing by a sidewalk in front of a regular house, those mini houses are too big for just receiving letters. What are they for?
Some of our kids can answer you right away that they are actually a library, because they have taken books from the Little Free Library themselves.
There are at least nine Little Free Libraries within our neighbourhoods. One of the owners, Miranda, said her family loves books and their library was initially set up for kids in 2015. However, these small libraries are not limited to children's access. Teenagers and adults might find books they like too. 'It is a great way to connect the neighbours', Miranda smiled through her mask.
True to Little Free Library's slogan 'Take a book. Share a book', one doesn't need to pay when self-checking out books, although it is suggested to return them. A healthy flow of books is the key to ensuring there is always something inside for other readers.
In today's busy world, all the Free Little Libraries in our community are convenient. They are open 24-7, 365 days a year. You can view the map embedded below to see the nine locations we have captured while researching this article.
Many people wonder how to safely borrow library books during the pandemic. Dr. Colin Furness, an infection control epidemiologist and assistant professor at the University of Toronto, advised through CBC News that the best thing to do is to wash your hands when you bring books home, and let them sit for 24 hours.
The first Little Free Library book-sharing box was built in 2009 in Wisconsin, USA. After a decade, this award-winning program has become a world-wide movement. Participants who have joined the charity believe that reading has a positive impact on people's life.
All Little Free Libraries are solely for exchanging books. Reminders from the owners to our neighbours, are not to put other household goods inside the boxes and never leave garbage inside. Furthermore, don't take the library with you just because they look cute.
Many builders decorate their library's with vibrant colours, loads of creativity, and make them too adorable to be neglected by pedestrians. The tiny library's presentation indeed helps attract more readers.

'Cruella' Review: Emma v. Emma In A Delightfully "de Vil-ish" Crime Caper
Entertainment Movies & TV
"No matter how much you'll miss Glenn Close, Emma Stone makes the role of Cruella de Vil her own in this darkly comical origin story!"
Check out our review of Cruella by @JordisTweeting!
#Cruella comes to cinema and Disney+ Premier Access on May 28th.
By Jordan Simmons / May 26, 2021
Many have grown tired of Disney's latest phase of taking their classic animated works and remaking them in live-action. But as long as people keep buying the tickets, Disney will continue to make more. This might be a good thing because every so often we get lucky with movies like Cruella.
Emma Stone stars as Estella. An orphan who turned to a life of petty thievery after meeting Jasper (Joel Fry) and Horace (Paul Walter Hauser). But after working her way to the top, in some rather dubious ways, Estella finds herself working in the fashion house of Baroness von Hellman. After some time there, Estella soon begins a transformation that will change her life forever.
Emma Stone stars as the titular villain, Cruella de Vil.
I cannot stress just how excited I was when Maleficent was coming out. Finally, one of my all-time favourite Disney villains was getting the live-action treatment. Angelina Jolie looked the part, Lana Del Rey's haunting cover of "Once Upon a Dream" was more than perfect. And it nearly sent me over the edge when Disney released the clip of Maleficent cursing baby Aurora. So, imagine my disappointment when everything that I love about the character was stripped away. All to create a movie that was really about a misunderstood hero than the villain we know from Sleeping Beauty.
That upset has caused me to become sceptical of any origin story films, especially that of villains. But, I am happy to report that Cruella delivers! While Emma Thompson is the film's primary antagonist. The writers do a terrific job showing us how Estella becomes the twisted Cruella de Vil that we all know and love. While juggling with the issue that despite being a villain, she's not the villain of the film.
There's also been some comparison between Cruella and Joker starring Joaquin Phoenix, and rightfully so. Stone's performance and her character's antics are often reminiscent of Phoenix's performance in the 2019 comic-book thriller. That's not a bad thing at all because it all fits together with the style of the film. Simply put, it just works.
Emma Stone is absolutely fabulous in the role, even if her English accent seems a bit weird at times. Her interpretation of the wicked Estella hits the mark. I want to see her tackle more antagonistic roles in the future. She gives a crafty, manipulative, and outrageously fiendish performance that makes me want a sequel.
Some of Stone's best work in Cruella comes when she's paired up with her two henchmen. Jasper and Horace, played by Joel Fry and Paul Walter Hauser. Unlike many movies of this kind, the two confidants aren't only around for some silly slapstick routine to appease the younger crowds. Instead, they manage to be an integral part of Estella's schemes. Without coming across as annoying while also providing the film with some comedy relief.
Emma Thompson presents cold-hearted realness in as Baroness von Hellman.
Emma Thompson plays Estella's new boss Baroness von Hellman. A world-famous fashion designer who plays a key role in Estella's decision into becoming Cruella. Thompson serves as the film's villain. Bringing us the best icy diva fashionista since Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly and Vanness Williams' Wilhelmina Slater. She's everything you hate in a boss and then some.
Cruella is also wonderfully diverse, with many Black and Asian actors appearing throughout. Showcasing a true reflection of how England, especially London, is extremely diverse – despite what many may claim. In this adaptation of 101 Dalmations, Anita, whose surname has been appropriately changed to Darling. She's brought to life by Black British actress Kirby Howell-Baptiste. Who, despite not having too much to do other than hold a camera. Managing to make each one of her short appearances stick with what is possibly the most grounded and realistic performance in the film.
There has also been some talk on LGBTQ+ representation in the film. This is true to a certain extent as John McCrea of Everybody's Talking About Jamie fame plays Artie. A new friend and conspirator to Estella's schemes. Artie is camp, wears makeup, and has clothes just as flashy as many other characters. But as usual, they never explicitly state anything concerning his gender or sexuality.
Now, for my most favourite part of the film – the costumes! Two-time Academy Award-winner Jenny Beavan has designed the costumes, and she designed the S**t out of them. To sum them up in one word: opulence. The many costumes featured in the film come in many different shapes, styles, and colours, from camp to royal realness. Beaven did such a good job that even the most boring costumes would make RuPaul want to steal them.
I only had two issues with the film is Estella's Clark Kent ability. She adopts a new persona near the film's mid-point, the mysterious new fashion designer, Cruella. Estella does this to get closer to the Baroness and wreak havoc through chaotic art stunts. Superman's Clark Kent comes to mind. When Estella is playing Cruella, no one seems to recognize her. Even though she doesn't change her voice and only masks her eyes. This brought down the whole subplot of Estella tormenting her boss because it makes the whole situation silly. Leaving me wanting to tear my hair out because and scream: "How the hell are they not seeing this?!"
The second issue I had came in the form of wigs. The wigs to the male characters, to be precise. Quite frankly, most of the wigs designed for the male characters were awful. The ladies are glorious in every way. But many of the men look like they've just had mops dropped on their heads. Except for Mark Strong, who gets to sport his naturally hairless look. Except for one flashback where he falls victim to this with his oddly looking hairpiece.
Cruella is the latest Disney flick simultaneously premiering in cinemas and on Disney+ Premier Access. Despite how much I enjoy the film, I don't think I would pay to see it in cinemas or pay to access it on Disney+. Simply because it feels like the perfect movie that could have been released exclusively on the streaming service as a Disney+ Original Movie. And let's face it, while Disney's output of Disney+ Original Series has been consistent, their films have not been. The last Disney+ Original Film was Flora and Ulysees, released on February 19th, 2021, and the next one won't until Pixar's Luca arrives on June 18th, 2021. Meanwhile, Netflix is pumping out a new original movie every week, most of them aren't particularly good, but at least they are providing the content.
That's quite a gap between Original Movie releases, and in the time between Flora and Ulysees and Luca, we will have had two Premier Access films (Raya and the Last Dragon and Cruella). Naturally, more Disney+ Originals are on the way. But none have release dates after Luca, but there are two more Premier Access movies coming our way. Black Widow (July 9th, 2021) and Jungle Cruise (July 30th, 2021).
No matter how much you'll miss Glenn Close, Emma Stone makes the role of Cruella de Vil her own in this darkly comical origin story and she'll be suffering from no bad back because Cruella is carried not only by Stone but by her great supporting cast. Cruella is as fun as it is delightfully "de vil-ish".
Cruella will be released in cinemas and on Disney+ Premier Access on Friday, May 28th.

Keeping the Rainforests Green
Any environmentalist will say education is the key to building a green society. But The Lovett School in Atlanta, Georgia is incorporating that idea into its curriculum.
The process began in 1990, when Robert Braddy, head of Lovett's science department, visited the small village of Santa Rosa, in the Imbabura Province of northwestern Ecuador. Braddy got involved in the village's work to build a new school house, and called upon the Lovett School's Ecology Club to help finance the project. The club raised about $2,000 to build the Escuela Rio Cenepa School, which was completed in 1991.
But that was just the beginning. Braddy then found Carlos Zorilla, the owner of Intag, an ecological preserve high in the mountains of Ecuador, who was willing to locate land in the Andes Mountains that the school could use for educational projects. Again, The Ecology Club swung into action and raised over $7,800 to purchase the 320 acres of rainforest land for use as a natural preserve. Since 1993, Braddy has taken students and faculty for summer explorations to their land, named Siempre Verde, or "Forever Green."
"It's a biological researchers' paradise," says Amy Tuohy, who participated in the first school trip to Ecuador in 1993. "Between hiking through the dense rainforest, observing the native species, and relaxing at night under the endless sky, the natural wonder is enough to dazzle even gringo eyes."
Teachers also value the first-hand experience in seeing deforestation and other environmental disasters that are often just a textbook subject. "You can read about this in class and tell the kids essentially the same thing, but it's so different when you've been there," says Jim Crowley, a elementary science teacher at Lovett.
Since Ecuadorian farmers routinely use destructive "slash and burn" agriculture, Braddy hopes the local farmers will also benefit from Siempre Verde's green mission to preserve and protect. This June, construction began on a Siempre Verde research center, which will be open to visiting students and faculty, as well as the surrounding communities. "Ecuador is just waking up to the fact that environmental education is an important subject. We're hoping that this will be a center not only of research but of education for the locals in that region," says Braddy.

Output;
<select name="select_box" id="select_box">
</select>

What I want;

<select name="select_box" id="select_box">
</select>

Script;
$(function() {

var select = $('<select name="select_box" id="select_box">').appendTo('#nav');
    $('#nav li').each(function() {
        var li = $(this),
            a = li.find('> a'),
            p = li.parents('li'),
            prefix = new Array (p.length + 1).join('-');
        var option = $('<option>')
            .text(prefix + ' ' + a.text())

        if (url) {
            window.location = url;

        return false;
    });
});

Maybe this is very simple question but i don't have any idea how to do that. Sory my bad language. I'm waiting for your help.

A: To add a new element:
var $newlabel = $("").html($("#select_box"));

Or edit your line to
var select = $('<select name="select_box" id="select_box">').find("select");

Or wrap your element with the select element
var select = $('<select name="select_box" id="select_box" />');
select.wrap( "" );

"He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom." (Isaiah 40:11).Our son Chuck's tombstone has Revelation 21:4 carved on it. I felt this would be a comforting verse and a witness for others because it soothed my own breaking heart every time I read this particular verse. For my own stone, though, I would choose Isaiah 40:11. My favorite vision of Jesus is as the Shepherd, for as Shepherd He brings love and comfort.
As Shepherd, He understands when anguish covers us with darkness and pain and we are lost in a fog of circumstances that has left us numb.Jesus enfolds us to His heart according to our need. I like to think in particularly agonizing moments that those of us who have immediate needs He holds even closer to His breast.
I'm reminded of that wonderful verse in John: "Then, leaning back on Jesus' breast." (John 13:25). We need to lean back on Jesus' breast every moment, but at certain times we need to yield totally and allow Him to carry both us and our burden.The following anecdote from Farm and Fireside illustrates wonderfully this point: "An aged, weary-looking woman with a heavy basket upon her arm, entered a train. Carrying her burden down the aisle, she found a seat and dropped into it, resting her heavy basket on her lap. A friendly workingman sitting across from her watched her for a long time, and then finally leaned across and spoke.
`Madam,' he said, `if you will put your basket on the floor, the train will carry you and the basket, too.' How much truth there is in that kind remark. How often we do as the woman did, come to Christ for our soul's salvation, and yet steadfastly refuse to let him bear our burdens and look after our daily lives. We are willing to get on the train, but refuse to lay down the burdens.
".How blessed we are to have a Shepherd who clasps our weary heart and body to His own pierced heart!.

Southern literature
Heyward Siddons
Anne Rivers Siddons (born Sybil Anne Rivers, January 9, 1936 – September 11, 2019) was an American novelist who wrote stories set in the southern United States.
1 Early years
5.1 Novels
5.2 Non-fiction
5.3 Filmography
The only child[1] of Marvin and Katherine Rivers,[2] she was born in Atlanta, Georgia, was raised in Fairburn, Georgia, and attended Auburn University,[3] where she majored in illustration after initially studying architecture.[4] She was named Loveliest of the Plains[5] and was a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority. While at Auburn she wrote a column for the student newspaper, The Auburn Plainsman, that favored integration. The university administration attempted to suppress the column (when she refused to reconsider what she wrote, the piece ran with a disclaimer),[1] and ultimately fired her, and the column garnered national attention.
Following her college graduation, Siddons worked in advertising, but her desire to write led her to journalism,[1] and in 1963 she became a writer for Atlanta magazine,[4] where she eventually became a senior editor.
Siddons' debut novel was Heartbreak Hotel (1976).[4] Peachtree Road, set in Atlanta, was a bestselling novel described as "the Southern novel for our generation" by Pat Conroy. More than a million copies are in print. In 1989 her book Heartbreak Hotel became a movie titled Heart of Dixie, which starred Ally Sheedy, Virginia Madsen, Phoebe Cates, Treat Williams, Kyle Secor, and Peter Berg.
Siddons's book The House Next Door was adapted for a made-for-television movie that aired in 2006 on Lifetime Television, starring Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Colin Ferguson, and Lara Flynn Boyle. The film tells the story of a woman who is drawn to a home filled with an evil presence that preys on its inhabitants' weaknesses.
In 1994, Siddons signed with HarperCollins to write four books for $13 million.[5] She signed a three-book contract with Warner Books and her novel titled Off Season was released in 2008. Her novel "Burnt Mountain" made many best books of the year lists in 2011.
Stephen King, in his non-fiction review of the horror medium, Danse Macabre, listed The House Next Door as one of the finest horror novels of the 20th Century, and provides a lengthy review of the novel in its "Horror Fiction" section.
At the age of thirty, she married Heyward Siddons, who died April 8, 2014.[6] She struggled with four years of depression in the early 1980s, essentially stopping her writing.[7] In 1991, she received an honorary degree in Doctor of Letters from Oglethorpe University.[8] She lived in Charleston, South Carolina, and spent summers in Maine. Siddons died on September 11, 2019 at the age of 83 in Charleston.[9]

Q: return new object of same type as child object in overwritten method I have a virtual super class with several child classes. In the following is a simple example of my situation:
(*Super class*)
class virtual super = object(self : 'self)
 method virtual generateNewOne : X
end;;

(*Child class one*)
class subOne = object(self)
 inherit super

 method subOneMethod x =
  x+2;

 method generateNewOne =
  let a = new subOne in
  a
 end;;

(*Child class two*)
class subTwo = object(self)
 inherit super

 method subTwoMethod x =
  x+3;

 method generateNewOne =
  let b = new subTwo in
  b
 end;;

My question is:
What do i have to insert for the X as type of the generateNewOne method?
My first thought was of type self, but as far as i tried it did not work, because the new objects do not have self type but subOne or subTwo.

A: You can replace X with super. In that case, generateNewOne of subOne has to return a super as well. Which can be achieved with a coercion:
method generateNewOne =
  let a = new subOne in
  (a :> super)

Similarly for subTwo.
If you really insist on generateNewOne to return a subOne or subTwo, then subOne, subTwo and super will be incompatible types, neither being a subtype of another. The reason is that they have mutually different return types of generateNewOne (To be more precise, we do not know that of super per se, because X is not yet specified. But we do know for sure, that super will be incompatible with at least one of subOne and subTwo.). In that case you cannot use inheritance, because inheritance implies that the type of generateNewOne remains the same.

A: You can't do this if you make subOne and subTwo classes, since any subclass of them would be returning the wrong type from generateNewOne. However, as long as you don't need to subclass further you can define them as plain objects:
(*Super class*)
class virtual super = object (self : 'self)
 method virtual generateNewOne : 'self
end

let rec subOne () = object (self)
 inherit super
 method subOneMethod x = x + 2
 method generateNewOne = subOne ()
end

let rec subTwo () = object (self)
 inherit super
 method subTwoMethod x = x + 3
 method generateNewOne = subTwo ()
end

Another possibility is to use the "functional objects" syntax, so the object returns a copy of itself (possibly with some fields modified). Then generateNewOne will be correct even for subclasses, e.g.
class subTwo = object (self)
 inherit super
 method subTwoMethod x = x + 3
 method generateNewOne = {< >}
end
