This project report relates to The
English Novel, 1770-1829: A Bibliographical Survey of
Prose Fiction published in the British Isles, general
editors Peter Garside, James Raven, and Rainer Schöwerling,
2 vols (Oxford: OUP, 2000). In particular it offers fresh
commentary on the entries in the second volume, which
was co-edited by Peter Garside and Rainer Schöwerling,
with the assistance of Christopher Skelton-Foord and Karin
Wünsche. The present report is the third Update in what
is intended to be a series of annual Reports, each featuring
information that has come to light in the preceding year
as a result of activities in CEIR and through contributions
sent by interested individuals outside Cardiff.
The entries below are organised in a
way that matches the order of material in the English
Novel, 1770-1829. While making reference to any relevant
changes that may have occurred in Updates 1 and 2, the
'base' it refers to is the printed Bibliography and not
the preceding reports. Sections A and B concern authorship,
with the first of these proposing changes to the attribution
as given in the printed Bibliography, and the second recording
the discovery of new information of interest that has
nevertheless not led presently to new attributions. Section
C includes three additional titles which match the criteria
for inclusion and should ideally have been incorporated
in the printed Bibliography, while the last two sections
involve information such as is usually found in the Notes
field of entries, and those owning copies of the printed
Bibliography might wish (as in the case of the earlier
categories) to amend entries accordingly. An element of
colour coding has been used to facilitate recognition
of the nature of changes, with red
denoting revisions and additions to existing entries in
the Bibliography, and the additional titles discovered
being picked out in blue.
Reference numbers (e.g. 1806: 12) are the same as those
in the English Novel, 1770-1829; when found as
cross references these refer back to the original Bibliography,
unless accompanied with 'above' or 'below', in which case
a cross reference within the present report is intended.
Abbreviations match those listed at the beginning volume
2 of the English Novel, though in a few cases these
are spelled out more fully for the convenience of present
readers.
This report was prepared by Peter Garside,
with significant inputs of information from Drs Jacqueline
Belanger and Sharon Ragaz, on this occasion especially
as a result of their trawls through (respectively) the
Longman Letter Books and Blackwood Papers. Additional
information was provided by Dr Anthony Mandal, who was
also responsible for preparing the report in its final
form via the Cardiff Corvey website. Information
was also generously communicated by a number of individuals,
notably: Professors Rolf Loeber and Magda Stouthamer-Loeber,
from Pittsburgh University, and Timothy Killick at Cardiff
University. As previously the Cardiff team has benefited
from its association with Projekt Corvey at Paderborn
University, most recently through the joint preparation
of a Bibliography of Fiction, 1830-1836 (also included
in Issue 10 of Cardiff Corvey). Thanks are also
due to Michael Bott, of Reading University Library, for
help received in locating materials in the Longman archives;
and to the trustees of the National Library of Scotland
[NLS] for permission to quote from manuscripts in their
care.

Notes. A draft letter to William Hack of 1 Aug
1822 in the Longman Letter Books reads: 'On the other
side you have the opinion of our literary friend respecting
the Novel you sent us. As it is the first production of
the Author we requested our friend to go into detail &
if she will make the proposed alterations, we shall be
happy to see the MS again, when it is very likely we shall
engage in the publication. The MS is forwarded by this
nights coach' (Longman I, 101, no. 311A). The
letter is addressed to Hack at Market St., Brighton.
The Longman Divide Ledger entry for this novel indicates
a balance due to 'Mrs Hack' of £7. 8. 6 (dated 1 Feb 1825):
this points to the likelihood that Reformation
was the work of the wife or a female relation of William
Hack. It might even be possible to attribute the novel
to Maria Barton Hack (1777-1844), a prolific writer of
children's literature, though her first work, Winter
Evenings: or Tales of Travellers, appeared in 1818.
Mention of the present item being 'a first work' is made
in another letter to William Hack, evidently later in
1822, sending further recommendations from the reader
and returning the MS (no. 296B).

Notes. Dedication to Archer Clunn, Esq. of Griffynhavel,
dated Hallcar, County of Radnor, June 1823. Attributed
to Ashworth in H&L and generally in catalogues and
bibliographies. However, a letter of 12 Sept 1823 addressed
to the Revd. Augustus French in the Longman Letter Books,
concerning terms, makes no mention of any other author:
'Agreeably to my promise I have examined the MS of "Hirstwood"
[sic] and the house is willing to engage in the
speculation on the terms I explained to you-namely, that
the house should be at the expense & risk of Paper,
Printing &c &c and that the profits of the first
& future editions be divided equally with the author-you
will please to inform me if the terms are agreed to, as
the Work should appear as early as possible' (Longman
I, 101, no. 381A) The letter is addressed to French at
Westbury, near Bristol. It is also perhaps significant
that other works commonly attributed to Ashworth were
published in the 1850s or later.

Notes. Identified as O'Driscol's
through a sequence of letters in the Longman Letter Books.
In a letter to J. O'Driscol Esq of 14 June 1823,
the firm state: 'We shall be happy to publish the Tale
to which you allude on the plan upon which we publish
your work on Ireland, dividing the profits of every edition'
(Longman I, 101, no. 369). That the 'tale' relates to
the above novel is evident from a sequence of other letters
from Longmans written to the widow and her representatives
after the author's death. In the last of these, to a Mr
N. Vincent, Owen Rees on 31 Oct 1829 writes: 'we will
thank you to pay her the inclosed £60, taking a proper
receipt, stating it to be a settlement in full for all
the Interest of the said John O'Driscol in "Views of Ireland"
"The Adventurers" & "The History of Ireland" first
edition' (I, 102, no. 106D). O'Driscol's
other works include Views of Ireland, moral, political,
and religious (1823) and The History of Ireland
(1827), both of which were published by Longmans.
This is one of four novels which are together given full
reviews in ER (Feb 1826) under the page-top heading 'Irish

Notes. Dedication to Joanna Baillie. Wolff's
proposal (vol. 1, p. 111; Item 601) of Dods,
a friend of Mary Shelley and a contributor to Blackwood's
Magazine, as an alternative solution to the contested
issue of George Borrow's authorship of this work, finds
incontestable support in two sources. In two letters to
William Blackwood, of 16 and 5 May 1825, David Lyndsay
discusses details of the work as its author (NLS, MS 4015,
ff. 27, 29). David Lyndsay in turn is identified as a
pseudonym of Mary Diana Dods by Betty T. Bennett in her
Mary Diana Dods, A Gentleman and a Scholar (New
York: William Morrow and Company, 1991), where this collection
of tales is discussed directly as Dods's own (see pp.
23, 64-8). ECB dates Oct 1825.

Notes. The arguments of Wolff
(I, 323) for attributing this title
to Crowe, as opposed to Charlotte Anne Eaton, finds substantial
support in the Blackwood Papers, where letters between
Crowe and Blackwood directly relating to the composition
and production of the novel are found between Mar 1825
and June 1827 (see NLS, MSS 4014, 4106, 4019). In the
last of these, Crowe complains that '[t]he second title
[.] is rather aping Constable's Rome in the 19th Century'
(MS 4019, f. 65), this itself alluding to Charlotte Anne
Eaton's successful travelogue, Rome in the Nineteenth
Century, first published by Archibald Constable &
Co in 1820. Confusion caused by the two titles offers
the most likely explanation of why Eaton's name became
associated with this novel at all.

and/or ?CHALKLEN, Miss].
THE HEBREW, A SKETCH IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY:
WITH THE DREAM OF SAINT KENYA.
Edinburgh: Printed for W. Blackwood, and T. Cadell, Strand,
London, 1828.
viii, 232p. 12mo. 5s 6d (ECB).
Corvey; CME 3-628-51037-6; ECB 262; NSTC 2H15773 (BI BL,
E, O).
Notes. Pp. [221]-232 contain 'The Dream of Saint
Kenya' (poem). Surviving letters
in the Blackwood papers indicate that the author was either
the Revd Charles William Chalklen or his sister. In the
first of these, dated 5 Sept 1827, Chalklen urges William
Blackwood for a response to manuscripts sent: 'It is odd
I shd not yet have heard from you anything of ye "Hebrew"
now in your hands-at least in your house. It is by a Lady
and my Sister [.] I must hear from you a decisive answer
as to whether you will risque ye publication of ye //
1. Hebrew// 2. Sworn Brothers // 3. Shadow
// in one volume' (NLS, MS 4019, f. 27). This letter gives
Chalklen's address as Kingstead, near Thrapston, Northants.
Chalklen's statement that 'The Hebrew' is the work of
his sister is repeated in a similar letter of 1 Nov 1827
(f. 29), which refers to 'The "Hebrew" a Tale by my Sister-in
my handwriting'; but any authorship other than that by
the sender appears to receive sceptical treatment in the
reader's report sent by David Macbeth Moir to Blackwood
on 3 Oct 1827: 'I return you Charles Chalklands [sic]
alias Williamson, alias --s MSS which I have carefully
read over' (MS 4020, f. 39). No mention of a sister can
be found in two letters from Chalklen's father, on 8 Jan
and 11 Mar 1828, concerning what appears to be a private
financing of 'The Hebrew' with Blackwood handling the
public launch (MS 4021, ff. 84, 86). Altogether it is
not clear whether The Hebrew was primarily written
by Chalker's sister (whose surname might then of course
have been different), or by Chalklen himself, though the
latter is perhaps more likely. Charles William Chalklen's
acknowledged works include Babylon, a Poem (1821)
and Semiramis, an Historical Morality, and Other Poems
(1847). ECB dates Mar 1828.
B: New Information Relating
to Authorship, but not Presently Leading to Further Attribution
Changes
1812: 63 [?WATSON, Miss], ROSAMUND,
COUNTESS OF CLARENSTEIN. The question mark qualifying
the attribution, hitherto based on the MS inscription
in the Harvard copy, can now be removed in the light of
two letters by Dorothy Wordsworth. The first, to Jane
Marshall of 2 May 1813, reads: 'I write merely to request
that you will send Miss Watson's Novel as soon as you
have done with it' (The Letters of William and Dorothy
Wordsworth: III: The Middle Years, ed. by Ernest De
Selincourt, 2nd edn., rev. by Mary Moorman and Alan G.
Hill (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1979), II,
95). Another letter of 18 Feb 1815 to Sara Hutchinson,
commenting on Anna Maria Porter's The Recluse of Norway
(1814: 46), states: 'There is a good deal of Miss Watson
in the colouring of the Ladies [i.e. Porter sisters];
and when love begins almost all novels grow tiresome'
(ibid., II, 203). Support for this
definitely being the daughter of Richard Watson, Bishop
of Llandaff, is found in a later letter of 26 Feb 1826,
where Dorothy writes of 'Watson's of Calgarth (the Bishop's
Daughter)', the Watsons having settled at Calgarth in
1789 (The Letters of William and Dorothy Wordsworth:
V: The Later Years, ed. by Ernest de Selincourt, 2nd
edn., ed. and rev. by Alan G. Hill (Oxford: Clarendon
Press, 1979), I, 95).
1813: 1 ANON, DEMETRIUS, A RUSSIAN
ROMANCE. Some light is thrown on the authorship in a letter
of 6 Jan 1813 to Revd William Manley in the Longman Letter
Books: 'We were duly favored with your letter & the
life of Demetrius which we have perused with pleasure;
and if you & the authoress approve we will undertake
the publication of it on the same plan as we publish the
works of Mrs Opie & several other of our authors-we
to print the work at our own risk & divide the profits
of every edition with the author. // We could put the
work to press as soon as we receive your answer. // The
title we consider as rather of two [sic] classical
an appearance for a novel & we would recommend the
author to think of a more popular nature' (Longman I,
98, no. 4). Taken at face value, this indicates female
authorship, with Manley acting as a go-between; on the
other hand, some room ought perhaps to be allowed for
Manley himself having a more direct hand in the composition
than acknowledged. Evidently, in this case Longmans' advice
over the title led at best only to modification.
1819: 29 [BUSK, Mrs. M. M.], ZEAL
AND EXPERIENCE: A TALE. See 1825: 17 below, for a more
positive identification of the author as Mary Margaret
Busk.
1820: 10 ANON, TALES OF MY LANDLORD,
NEW SERIES, CONTAINING PONTEFRACT CASTLE. A letter from
Robert Cadell to Archibald Constable, written at the height
of the furore over this allegedly spurious publication,
opens up the possibility of authorship by Thomas Frognall
Dibdin (1776-1847). Cadell on 30 Oct 1819 writes: 'You
will see by the Morning Chronicle of this day that John
B[allantyne] has got a reply to his letter, it is causing
some laughing-and the best is to say nothing more on the
subject at present-it is now no quizz-I hear that Thos
Dibdin is the author' (NLS, MS 323, f. 36v). It is possible
that Cadell here is referring to authorship of the riposte
against Scott's representative in the paper, and there
is also an alternative Dibdin in Thomas John Dibdin (1771-1841),
the actor and playwright. The possibilities are at best
faint, though it is perhaps worth noting that Thomas Frognall
Dibdin was known in the Constable circle, and is also
on record of having at least dabbled with fiction at this
period (his La Belle Marianne: a tale of truth and
fiction, a short piece, was published in 1824).
1821: 17 ANON, TALES OF MY LANDLORD,
NEW SERIES, CONTAINING THE FAIR WITCH OF GLAS LLYN. As
the sequel to the first 'new series' (1820: 10), the comments
made above relating to possible authorship by Dibdin might
also apply to this title.
1821: 22 [BENNET, William], THE
CAVALIER. A ROMANCE. NSTC in listing the Philadelphia
1822 edn held at Harvard notes: 'sometimes attributed
Thomas Roscoe junior'. Two further 'Bennet' titles, The
King of the Peak (1823: 23) and Owain Goch
(1827: 16), are given in DNB and CBEL3 as by Thomas Roscoe
(1791-1871), the son of William Roscoe. The dedication
of The King of the Peak to the Mayor of Liverpool
might also seem to promote the idea of a Roscoe / Liverpool
connection. Furthermore, several of the letters addressed
to William Bennett Esq in the Longman archives appear
at points to indicate that he is the agent rather than
actual author. See, for example, the firm's letter of
7 Jan 1823: 'If your friend can fix on any other good
title, it may be as well not to take that of "King of
the Peak": for, though it may be explained away in the
Preface, at first it will be considered as an adoption
of part of the title of Peverell of the Peak' (Letter
Books, Longman I, 101, no. 338). On the other hand, there
can be no denying the Derbyshire credentials of this set
of novels; and, in this particular instance, the author
responded in his Preface by asserting that 'there are
many respectable gentlemen in the county of Derby, who
can bear witness that I intended publishing this work
under the title it bears, before there was any annunciation
of Peveril of the Peak' (vol. 1, p. xvi). Especially telling
in this regard is the family copy described in Wolff (vol.
1, p. 71; Item 385), with a note laid in saying 'These
books were written by my great grandfather William Bennet
under the pseudonym Lee Gibbons'. One possible solution
for the Longman letters might be that Bennet's father,
another William, was acting on behalf of his trainee lawyer
son. Alternatively a precocious younger Bennet could have
been successfully juggling the roles of author and agent
himself. Is there evidence of a family of Derbyshire lawyers
in Chapel-en-le-Frith (the place given in the Dedication
of 1821: 22)?
1825: 17 [BUSK, Mrs. M. M.], TALES
OF FAULT AND FEELING. BY THE AUTHOR OF "ZEAL AND EXPERIENCE".
Clear identification of the author as Mary Margaret Busk
(1779-1863) can be found in Ellen Curran, 'Holding on
by a Pen: the Story of a Lady Reviewer', Victorian
Periodicals Review 31:1 (Spring 1998), 9-30. Busk,
whose literary career followed the financial difficulties
of her father (Alexander Blair) and husband (William Busk),
is described there as a prolific contributor to the reviews,
her many other publications including several histories,
translations and children's book. It would also appear
that it was this writer's parents who are being referred
to by Maria Edgeworth in a letter of 4 March 1819: 'After
spending at the rate of ten thousand a year in high London
society he died almost ruined leaving his widow scarce
£400 a year. She now writes novels if not for bread for
butter' (Letters from England, 1813-1844, ed. by
Christina Colvin (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1971), p. 173).
No novels by Mrs Blair have so far been identified, though
the date of Edgeworth's letter perhaps opens up the possibility
of collaboration with her daughter on Zeal and Experience
(see under 1819: 29, above).
1827: 62 [SCARGILL, William Pitt],
TRUCKLEBOROUGH HALL; A NOVEL. An element of doubt was
cast in Update 1 on whether this title, as well Rank
and Talent (1829: 72), and Tales of a Briefless
Barrister (1829: 73), conventionally attributed to
Scargill and all upmarket novels published by Henry Colburn,
should be unquestioningly treated as by Scargill. The
records of the Royal Literary Fund indicate that almost
certainly his. A letter from Mrs Scargill to C. P. Roney
(4 Jan 1837), concerning subscriptions to the posthumous
The Widow's Offering, gives Truckleborough Hall
as the first work by the author to be listed in the title-page
(RLF 27: 839, Item 5. Two cuttings from the Morning
Chronicle of 1855 included in the file (Item 8) also
give as among the authors works: Truckleborough Hall,
Rank and Talent, and Tales of a Briefless Barrister.
No mention is made at any point of Truth. A Novel by
the author of Nothing (1826: 68), Elzabeth Evanshaw,
The Sequel of Truth (1827: 61), and Penelope; or,
Love's Labours Lost (1828: 70), which must remain
at best problematically connected with Scargill.
1828: 1 ANON, DE BEAUVOIR; OR,
SECOND LOVE. A letter from George Croly to William Blackwood,
21 Jan 1828, identifies the author as a female acquaintance:
'A lady, the widow of an officer,
& a friend of mine, has just published a Novel, De
Beauvoir, or Second Love which strikes me as clever,
& of which she has prodigious anxiety to have some
notice taken in the more prominent publications. I should
wish to oblige her by some short account of two
or three pages of Criticisms in your Magazine. [.] The
book is graceful & vigorous, a particular novel without
any of the stupidities & affectations of boudoir &
drawing room knowledge which have brought the name into
disrepute' (NLS, MS 4021, f. 126).

1821: 65 SIDNEY, Philip Francis,
THE RULING PASSION, A COMIC STORY, OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY.
Further information about this title has arisen through
a letter addressed to 'Allson & Sidney' in the Longman
Letter Books. Dated 30 Dec 1820, this reads: 'We wish
you had sent us a copy of Ruling Passion. If we are not
mistaken it is a translation either from the French or
Italian. We have no objection to publish the work for
you on the usual terms we do such matters-to account for
the books we may sell at the Trade Sale price & charge
a commission of 10 P Cent on the sales, you paying all
the expenses of Advertising, freight, &c. // Have
you not been too sanguine of its sale having printed 2000
copies?' (Longman I, 101, no. 70). It is likely that Allison
& Sidney are 'the Proprietors of the Hull Packet [a
weekly newspaper]', for whom the novel was printed. Mention
of the work being a translation also helps explain the
presumably facetious 'revived, revised, and edited' incorporated
in the fuller title. OCCL (accession no. 8634631) identifies
this work as based on La Fuerza de la sangre of
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, which itself had been translated
into English as The Prevalence of Blood (London,
1729), and again, more recently, as The Force of Blood,
A Novel (London, Printed for the translator, by T.
Gillet, 1800). No copy of this work with Longmans included
in the imprint has been discovered, though it is possible
that the firm helped in the remaindering of what is almost
certainly correctly perceived to be an over-large impression.

1949 - Develops polio at the age of 18 months and loses most of the use of her legs.
1952 - Begins school, but is not allowed to attend in-person classes, as the local public school claims she poses a fire hazard in her wheelchair.
1955 - Is finally allowed to attend fourth grade in a school for children with disabilities after continued advocacy by her mother, Ilsa Heumann.
1957-1966 - Attends Camp Jened in Hunter, NY, a camp for children with disabilities.
1961 - Enters in-person high school classes after Ilsa Heumann, along with support from the community, challenges the district's claim that Judith and her wheelchair pose a fire hazard in the classroom.
1969 - Graduates from Long Island University, where she has studied Speech Therapy.
1970 - Along with several friends who are also disabled, founds Handicapped in Action (later remaned
Disabled in Action), to advocate for access to education for others with disabilities.
1974 - Helps develop legislation that ultimately becomes the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act while working as legislative assistant for the U.S. Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare.

We employed the CCSM4 GCM (see Methods) to test whether glacial inception is simulated for the Stage 19 equivalent of the present day at 777 ka (Table 1), noting that the two largest forcings–insolation and CO 2–are very close analogs to those proposed in the EAH. The negative greenhouse forcing in MIS19, relative to pre-industrial “PI” conditions at year 1850, causes a much colder climate. The mean-annual global temperature falls by 1.27 K, while the 5–6 K cooling in the high Arctic is the most pronounced anywhere (Fig. 2a). Polar temperatures drop the most over sea ice and along adjacent Arctic land, including Alaska and Baffin Island. High-latitude cooling during summer is especially important for promoting glaciations 21, and the MIS19 simulation produces substantial and widespread summertime temperature decreases of over 3 K across much of the Arctic, especially over northeastern Siberia, northwestern North America, and the Canadian archipelago (Fig. 2b). Accompanying this terrestrial cooling is a comparable temperature decrease over the North Atlantic and Nordic Seas, where a pronounced expansion of sea ice occurs (Fig. 2c). The cooling in the North Atlantic versus the North Pacific is presumably enhanced by the response of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which weakens by 2 Sv (25.5 Sv to 23.5 Sv) in MIS19.
Changes in surface temperature (K) and sea ice coverage (%) between MIS19 and PI. ( a) Mean annual temperature, ( b) Boreal summer temperature, June-August, ( c) Boreal summer sea ice.
These regional summertime cooling maxima of over 5 K associated with expansions of terrestrial snow cover and marine ice cover are both expressions and drivers of incipient glaciation. One way to identify year-round snow cover is to apply the 5% grid-box snow concentration threshold (see Methods) to the PI and MIS19 simulations (Fig. 3). Based on this definition, much more permanent snow cover emerges in MIS19, especially in Siberia, Alaska, and the Canadian Northwest Territories. Overall, snow cover persisting throughout the year encompasses 9.92 million km 2 in MIS19, compared with 5.99 million km 2 in PI, representing a 66% increase (92% expansion excluding Greenland). Topography exerts a strong influence on where permanent snow cover forms (Fig. 3c), particularly in the PI simulation, as highly elevated regions are the preferred sites in Siberia and Alaska (Brooks Range and coastal Alaska Range). Elevation plays a less obvious role in the MIS19 run, which is cold enough to support a year-round snow pack even at lower altitudes. We assume that these regions of year-round snow cover would eventually become land ice if the model included glacial processes.
Regions with a year-round snow pack in ( a) PI and ( b) MIS19, based on August snow cover of at least 5% in a gridbox. ( c) Model topography, meters. ( d) Area of year-round snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere in final years of PI and MIS19 simulations.
Based on our standard definition of glacial inception (see Methods), the MIS19 simulation reaches this state, because every year at the end of the MIS19 run has more extensive year-round snow cover than PI (Fig. 3d). Conversely, the PI simulation is not cold enough to constitute a state of glacial inception relative to CCSM4’s transient 20 th-century simulation (Table 1), because several years in the 20 th-century run exhibit more permanent snow cover than the year with the least permanent snow cover in PI (not shown).
Locations of incipient glaciation can also be identified as grid boxes that reach the model-constrained snow depth limit of 1 m snow water equivalent (see Methods). The areal extent of such regions doubles in MIS19 versus PI (including Greenland) and encompasses most of Baffin Island and Novaya Zemlya and all of Svalbard, Franz Josef Land, Severnaya Zemlya, and the New Siberian Islands (Fig. 4a,b). Many of these locations are regarded as initial nucleation sites for marine ice sheets that developed over the Barents and Kara Seas 22. Moreover, the snow depth limit is reached inland on Taimyr Peninsula and in a few isolated regions in far northeastern Siberia and northwestern North America. Over the entire Arctic (60°–90°N), the area reaching maximum snow depth increases during the MIS19 simulation (Fig. 4c), suggesting an expansion of glaciation with time. By contrast, the corresponding area in PI is fairly stable and far smaller than in MIS19, evident by the clear separation in their time series.
[Top]: Fraction of years during the final 50 years of the simulations when snow depth reaches the model-constrained 1 m SWE limit in ( a) PI and ( b) MIS19. [Bottom]: Time series from MIS19 (black) and PI (gray) simulations showing the fraction of surface area poleward of 60°N that reaches this limit during August. The 50-year running mean is shown in red for MIS19 and blue for PI.
Particularly interesting for this study is the emergence of maximum snow depth in MIS19 over most of the Canadian Archipelago and Baffin Island within the first few years of the simulation. This region has long been supposed to be the main area of glacial inception for the Laurentide ice sheet 23, and there is clear evidence that glaciers expanded on Baffin Island during the Little Ice Age 24, 25. Our PI simulation corresponding to the end of the Little Ice Age shows most of the island with permanent snow cover, based on the 0.05 concentration, and occasional years when the maximum snow depth threshold is reached (Figs 3, 4). This area and the expanded region of maximum snow depth along the Greenland coast in the MIS19 run are likely sources for ice-rafted debris deposited in MIS 19 3. Although CCSM4 does not represent glacial processes, the model’s pronounced cooling and sea ice expansion in the North Atlantic and Labrador Sea would have created a favorably chilled marine environment for the production and preservation of calving icebergs, whose deposits associated with MIS19 glacial inception have been identified in sediments at North Atlantic Ocean Drilling Program Site 983 4 south of Iceland, around the region of extreme temperature decreases (Fig. 2b).
Large areas of permanent snow cover blanket northeastern Eurasia, but no regions reach the snow depth limit east of the Taimyr Peninsula except near the Chuhotka Peninsula in easternmost Siberia. Glaciated landscapes in northeastern Russia are known to be limited to mountainous regions because of pervasive aridity and strong continentality with relatively warm summers 26. There is evidence of a possible MIS5d local glacier advance in the Chuhotka Peninsula 27 and Verkhoyansk Mountains of Siberia 28 but not in other parts of northeast Siberia.
Although a colder climate in MIS19 is the proximate cause of permanent snow cover emerging in these three regions, the CCSM4 simulation reveals important contributions from circulation changes that appear to play a major role in shaping these patterns. Both increased accumulation of snowfall and reduced ablation act to enhance snow depth, but most studies have found that a decreased ablation effect is more important for generating permanent snow cover 29– 31.
For glacial inception in MIS19, both processes contribute but their relative importance differs by region, as is the case for ice sheets generally 32. Over Baffin Island and the Archipelago, reduced ablation is promoted by the development of a summertime high-pressure anomaly centered over the broader Greenland area that extends across much of the Arctic Ocean and into Siberia (Fig. 5a). This anomalous anticyclone is fostered by the strong surface cooling of the ocean surrounding Greenland (Fig. 2b), which in turn is caused by the combination of a weakened AMOC and expanded sea ice (Fig. 2c). This ice expansion results in a pronounced spread of sub-freezing surface conditions during summer in the North Atlantic-Labrador Sea region, approximately delineated by where sea ice cover expands by at least 15%. A consequence of the anomalous high pressure around Greenland is a change in the lower-atmospheric wind field (Fig. 5b). This results in enhanced flow over the much-colder ocean surrounding Greenland and onto Baffin Island, where the most pronounced emergence of maximum snow thickness occurs (Fig. 4). The circulation change over the Arctic Ocean also favors less ablation over Siberia, due to the weaker but consistently onshore flow coming from the Arctic Ocean.
Changes between MIS19 and PI simulations. ( a) Sea level pressure (hPa) and ( b) lower atmosphere (surface-750 hPa) wind velocity (m s −1) in summer; ( c) snowfall (cm) and ( d) lower atmosphere (surface-750 hPa) wind velocity (m s −1) annually.
Over northwestern North America, by contrast, the emergence of a perennial snowpack is fostered by atmospheric circulation changes that favor increased accumulation of snowfall through enhanced transport of onshore, upslope flow into the Rocky Mountains and Alaska (Fig. 5c,d). The large increase of annual snowfall over this region matches well with the appearance of permanent snow cover (Fig. 3). A similar type of circulation change also favors the increase of snowfall over the mountains of Norway, where a few grid cells become permanently snow covered in MIS19. However, the accumulation effect is not responsible for the development of permanent snow cover over Baffin Island, which receives slightly less snowfall in MIS19.
In summary, both our model simulations and proxy evidence suggest currently suitable conditions for incipient glaciation, in the absence of anthropogenic carbon emissions, due to the same favorable orbital and greenhouse forcing that triggered the cessation of interglacial warmth at the end of MIS19. Present-day orbital forcing is virtually the same as in MIS19, and contemporary GHG forcing would be virtually equivalent to MIS19’s if the Holocene climate had followed the expected late-interglacial GHG decline 33. In that case, our present-day natural climate should be approximately the same as MIS19’s, including glacial inception. If the upward GHG trends during the late Holocene were caused by early agricultural carbon emissions, then ancient farming was apparently sufficient to avert a contemporary glacial inception.
Support for this possibility comes from our supplemental “Natural PI” CCSM4 model experiment, PI_NAT, which used contemporary orbital parameters and estimated natural GHG concentrations (Table 1; see Methods). Its expanded permanent snow cover (Fig. 6) is virtually identical to the MIS19 run (Table 2, Fig. 3b), indicating that the similarities in greenhouse forcing between MIS19 and “natural” present-day dominate over the slight orbital forcing differences.
Regions with a year-round snow pack in PI_NAT, based on August snow cover of at least 5% in a gridbox.
Comparison of Arctic (60–90°N) insolation forcing annually (W m −2), GHG radiative forcing (W m −2), permanent snow cover area (×10 6 km 2), and Arctic (60–90°N) temperature change (K) relative to PI among CCSM4 simulations.
| Simulation | Insolation Forcing | GHG Forcing | Permanent Snow Cover | Arctic Temperature Change (K) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PI | — | — | 5.99 | — |
| PI_NAT | — | −1.02 | 9.93 | −4.87 |
| MIS19 | −0.75 | −0.92 | 9.92 | −4.39 |
| MIS5e | −4.3 | 0 | 8.57 | −0.70 |
The simulation of MIS 5e (115ka) is from ref. 36.
Although the PI_NAT results are based on estimated levels of greenhouse gases in the absence of all anthropogenic carbon emissions, these estimated concentrations can be partially constrained. Removing the CO 2 contribution from industrialization lowers the contemporary concentration to 285 ppm, which therefore serves as an absolute upper limit for a natural present-day. This CO 2 value was preceded, however, by rising concentrations since 8000 years ago, when the concentration had fallen to 260 ppm. Because CO 2 levels in all recent, comparable interglaciations identified by ref. 34. (MIS 5, 7, 9, 11, 17, and 19) declined during their final eight millennia (up to their insolation minimum), an expected present-day CO 2 concentration is no higher than 260 ppm. In fact, CO 2 values have fallen by a minimum of 5 ppm (MIS 7 and MIS 11) and a maximum of 16 ppm (MIS 9 and MIS 17) in their final 8000 years. This spread implies an expected contemporary concentration of CO 2 as low as 244 ppm and sets another plausible upper limit of 255 ppm, bracketing a range that encompasses the 245 ppm concentration used in PI_NAT as our best estimate of a natural present-day value (see Methods).
That a fairly small CO 2 decrease, relative to the CO 2 rise from industrialization, can leverage a large climate change is supported by findings of enhanced cold-climate sensitivity. Stronger positive feedbacks between temperature and albedo (in this case illustrated by a pronounced expansion of sea ice area and permanent snow cover) occur in relatively cold climates, such as those with greenhouse gas concentrations only slightly below those of PI 35, implying that only a modest external forcing perturbation is then required to push the climate system into glacial inception. Further evidence for this enhanced cold climate sensitivity is found in comparisons of external forcing changes and climatic responses in the four CCSM4 simulations summarized in Table 2. PI_NAT has only modestly reduced GHG forcing relative to PI (−1.02 W/m 2), but there is a large increase in permanent snow cover and a large decrease in Arctic surface temperature 35. MIS 19 has only a small net negative Arctic insolation forcing (−0.75 W/m 2) and a slightly smaller reduction in GHG forcing relative to PI (−0.92 W/m 2), yet the response is an equally large increase in permanent snow cover and nearly as large a decrease in Arctic temperature as in PI_NAT (Table 2).
In contrast, the glacial inception simulation of ref. 36 for 115 ka (the end of MIS 5e) employs a much larger annual negative insolation forcing (−4.3 W/m 2) in the Arctic (60–90°N) with no change in GHG forcing relative to PI and produces a large increase in permanent snow cover (although not quite as large as PI_NAT or MIS 19), along with a small decrease in Arctic annual temperature. The large orbitally forced decrease in summer temperature is sufficient to initiate the increase in permanent snow cover, even with GHG forcing equivalent to PI (the annual Arctic temperature decrease is smaller because the winter temperatures are higher). These experiments thus demonstrate “bookends” of forcing required for glacial inception: either strong orbital forcing with no change in greenhouse gases (MIS5e) or strong greenhouse forcing with little or no orbital influence (MIS19, PI_NAT) relative to present-day. Glacial inception occurs in all three cases, but cold climate sensitivity via a strengthened positive temperature/albedo feedback is most enhanced for PI_NAT and MIS 19, whose GHG forcing is slightly reduced relative to PI.

SWITCHING CHANNELS A film review by John R. Mellby Copyright 1988 John R. Mellby
Although it was not highly publicized, the new comedy SWITCHING CHANNELS had a (not so) sneak preview last night. It stars Burt Reynolds, Christopher Reeves, and Kathleen Turner. I went, really expecting to be disappointed by a star-vehicle, and found myself enjoying it immensely! This is not sophisticated comedy, and I found myself comparing it more or less to a modern version of the 50s-60s love-comedy movies. All the characters are rather broad, if not blatant, caricatures, but the actors did a good enough job, that the characters worked.
The main story is a love triangle. (Why is it that everyone in a movie is involved in a love triangle and I have never known anyone in real life who was in a love triangle? Don't I hang out with the right kind of people?)
Kathleen Turner is a TV anchorperson. She is concerned, intense, and very involved with her job.
Christopher Reeves is rich, easy-going, and just a little self-centered, although this isn't immediately obvious. Turner meets Reeves on vacation and decides to marry him, and move to NYC where Reeves has gotten her a job as a morning talk-show host (the assumption in the film is that a talk-show host is a real WIMP of a job for a hard-hitting newsperson).
Her ex-husband, Burt Reynolds, is her boss. He plays one of his stock characters, which he does very well. He is the good-old-boy, lovable scalliwag. He does outrageous things in a way that let me ignore the fact that they were totally silly, such as rushing to one of his gofers and shouting "Call the Airlines! Book every seat between here and New York for the next 24 hours!" Reynolds keeps trying to do things to separate Reeves and win Turner back for himself. The badinage between Reeves and Reynolds, especially when they first meet was very good.
As a backdrop, and parallel plot, Artie Johnson is about to be electrocuted for shooting a cop who sold his son drugs. This is part of the comedy. Really!
A race for Governor is going on (in Illinois) and the crooked politician is on the LAW-and-ORDER platform, trying to win the race by getting the man electrocuted. All the political characters are charicatures, whether it is the Chicago-machine politician, the upscale-rich-and-cannot-think-for-himself Governor, or the prison warden, who is guilty of so many crimes that he is jerked backwards and forwards by practically everyone.
Along the way they do a send-up of everyone in the news business, from the brainless-blond announcer, to the vulture-reporters (who would just LOVE to film an electrocution live), to the accuracy of their reporting.
Anyway, if you are willing to suspend your disbelief over the impossibilities, this should prove to be an excellent movie. This is not HIGH ART, but it has good characters, and a lot of humor. They even throw in some tension, and a few chases for your $5. Go see this one if you like basic comedies.

You can receive events from your servers for server-side cache events and query result changes.
For cache updates, you can configure to receive entry keys and values or just entry keys, with the data retrieved lazily when requested. The queries are run continuously against server cache events, with the server sending the deltas for your query result sets.

Servers receive updates for all entry events in their client’s client regions.
To receive entry events in the client from the server:
- Set the client pool
subscription-enabled
to true. See <pool>. Program the client to register interest in the entries you need.
Note: This must be done through the API.
Register interest in all keys, a key list, individual keys, or by comparing key strings to regular expressions. By default, no entries are registered to receive updates. Specify whether the server is to send values with entry update events. Interest registration is only available through the API.
- Get an instance of the region where you want to register interest.
Use the region’s
registerInterest
* methods to specify the entries you want. Examples:// Register interest in a single key and download its entry // at this time, if it is available in the server cache Region region1 = . . . ; region1.registerInterest("key-1"); // Register Interest in a List of Keys but do not do an initial bulk load // do not send values for creater/update events - just send key with invalidation Region region2 = . . . ; List list = new ArrayList(); list.add("key-1"); list.add("key-2"); list.add("key-3"); list.add("key-4"); region2.registerInterestForKeys(list, InterestResultPolicy.NONE, false); // Register interest in all keys and download all available keys now Region region3 = . . . ; region3.registerInterestForAllKeys(InterestResultPolicy.KEYS); // Register Interest in all keys matching a regular expression Region region1 = . . . ; region1.registerInterestRegex("[a-zA-Z]+_[0-9]+");
You can call the register interest methods multiple times for a single region. Each interest registration adds to the server’s list of registered interest criteria for the client. So if a client registers interest in key ‘A’, then registers interest in regular expression “B*”, the server will send updates for all entries with key ‘A’ or key beginning with the letter ‘B’.
For highly available event messaging, configure server redundancy. See Configuring Highly Available Servers.
To have events enqueued for your clients during client downtime, configure durable client/server messaging.
Write any continuous queries (CQs) that you want to run to receive continuously streaming updates to client queries. CQ events do not update the client cache. If you have dependencies between CQs and/or interest registrations, so that you want the two types of subscription events to arrive as closely together on the client, use a single server pool for everything. Using different pools can lead to time differences in the delivery of events because the pools might use different servers to process and deliver the event messages.

This library was ported from the original C# implemenation called cron-expression-descriptor and is also available in a few other languages.
Demo
Features
- Zero dependencies
- Supports all cron expression special characters including * / , - ? L W, #
- Supports 5, 6 (w/ seconds or year), or 7 (w/ seconds and year) part cron expressions
- i18n support with 14 languages
Installation
cRonstrue is exported as an UMD module so it will work in an AMD, CommonJS or browser global context.
Node
npm install cronstrue
var cronstrue = require('cronstrue');
Browser
The cronstrue.min.js
file from the /dist
folder in the npm package should be served
to the browser. There are no dependencies so you can simply include the library in a <script>
tag.
<script src="cronstrue.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
var cronstrue = window.cronstrue;
</script>
Usage
cronstrue.toString("* * * * *");
> "Every minute"
cronstrue.toString("0 23 ? * MON-FRI");
> "At 11:00 PM, Monday through Friday"
cronstrue.toString("23 12 * * SUN#2");
> "At 12:23 PM, on the second Sunday of the month"
For more usage examples, including a demonstration of how cRonstrue can handle some very complex cron expressions, you can reference the unit tests.
i18n
To use the i18n support cRonstrue provides, you must use the packaged library that contains the locale transalations.
Once you do this, you can pass the name of a supported locale as an option to cronstrue.toString()
.
For example, for the es (Spanish) locale, you would use: cronstrue.toString("* * * * *", { locale: "es" });
.
Node
var cronstrue = require('cronstrue/i18n');
cronstrue.toString("*/5 * * * *", { locale: "fr" });
Browser
The cronstrue-i18n.min.js
file from the /dist
folder in the npm package should
be served to the browser.
<script src="cronstrue-i18n.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
cronstrue.toString("*/5 * * * *", { locale: "fr" });
</script>

Biomedical Informatician - San Francisco, CA
Picnic's mission is to structure the world's medical data to make it useful. We work directly with patients to collect, digitize, and manage their complete medical records, giving them with control over their care through a personal health timeline ( http://demo.picnichealth.com/ ). We also partner with biotech, genomics, and pharma companies who sponsor PicnicHealth accounts for research volunteers. Through this work we're building the data sets that power some of today's most cutting edge medical research.
Clinical Data at Picnic
Machine learning is at the heart of our work. While the healthcare industry is waiting for standards and APIs to take hold, we're able to create meaningful medical data today through our process for extracting and structuring medical information from records in whatever format they exist in the real world. We ingest medical records (faxes, scans, etc of printouts from EHRs, electronic data from EHRs) and convert them into structured, labeled medical data. Think of what we do as a multi-stage, human-in-the-loop machine learning system. We (1) run OCR to transform the image into text, (2) identify and label regions of the record, and (3) classify medical concepts with codes from standard ontologies (SNOMED CT, LOINC, RxNorm, ICD, etc) and structure relevant attributes. Ultimately, structuring data is just the starting point. We'll use machine learning to pull insights from medical data and surface the most relevant information to make better decisions around care.
We've sourced and trained a scalable team of nurses in the Philippines to identify and label data and have already labeled records from more than 15,000 different doctors. We're going through a crazy period of 20x growth this year, coming off our recent Grand Prize finish in Google Cloud's Machine Learning Startup Competition ( https://www.blog.google/topics/google-cloud/announcing-winners-our-machine-learning-startup-competition/ ).
The Role
As the first biomedical informatician on our team, you'll take ownership over the data we're producing. You'll help us ensure that we're pulling the right information out of records, that we're doing it accurately, and that we're making that data intuitive to analyze. Today Picnic is the best way create a complete, longitudinal clinical dataset across any set of people. As we grow, we're making Picnic the best way for people to analyze and learn from any health data. We want you to help shape that future.
Responsibilities
Refine Picnic's clinical data model (based on OMOP CDM)
Develop, train, and deploy machine learning models to improve PicnicHealth's product and processing efficiency
Build data pipelines
Help shape design and development of research-facing products (interfaces, tools, and data products) to make them as useful for researchers as possible
Work with product, clinical, operations, and sales teams to help define use cases, and develop methodology and benchmarks to evaluate different machine learning approaches
A candidate must have:
A MS or PhD in biomedical informatics or a related field, or equivalent experience
Published papers in biomedical informatics or a related field
Performed research on EHR data or real-world evidence
Shipped code for 2+ years
Experience with machine learning
An ideal candidate has:
Experience with clinical named-entity recognition or natural language processing in medical records
Experience with Python, and Python machine learning tooling
Exposure to Deep Learning, Gradient Boosting Machines, and other supervised classification methods
Desire to kick ass and save lives

HELLO WORLD.
Let's learn to code
You’ve heard tons about coding and know that it has to do with computers and how they process the information we see. However, you may not have much more than this vague understanding of the concept. Don’t feel bad. Many people don’t really understand it, though we all depend on the fundamentals of code each and every day. It’s such an important aspect of the technological landscape that, according to Fortune, former President Obama unveiled an initiative called “Computer Science for All” that has been backed by and invested in by big names, including the Turner Broadcasting Network. This movement is one that mirrors that of our nation’s schools that have been emphasizing the value of technology, computer science, engineering, and other STEM-related topics. Read on to discover what computer code is and why it is of such importance in today’s society.

Catalina is the reference implementation of the Servlet API specification. It is packaged in Tomcat along with Jasper (the reference implementation of the JavaServer Pages (JSP) specification.
Catalina will also run servlets that conform to the Servlet API specification separately from Jasper. It has no internal code dependencies on Jasper, although Tomcat as a whole includes some code that optimizes performance when Catalina and Jasper are in fact deployed together.
The Catalina code base has a fairly long lifetime (stretching back to when it was going to be the next version of Apache JServ). Current efforts are primarily focused on integrating the new features requried by version 2.3 of the spec (which just entered public draft status), adding the last remaining bits of functionality present in Tomcat 3.x but not yet in Catalina (support for web server connectors and the ability to run a web application under a security policy), and improving performance. The following documents provide a more detailed look at what's going on.
The following documents describe the internal architecture of Catalina in more detail.

There is no such place as off the beaten track. On a fruitless search for the virgin island, Richard has come to this conclusion. But in a chance meeting the soon-to-be suicide "Daffy" Duck hints at the perennial rumour of the unspoilt, idyllic paradise. Unlike most hapless backpackers Duck leaves Richard a map. A bond is forged between Richard and two French companions, who all sneak away to the government-protected island and The Beach, but not before Richard passes the map onto two American tourists, Zeph and Sammy, smarter than they look.
Our three heroes are accepted by The Beach's community, and find themselves in a resort ringed by sharks and drug dealers: apparently safe in their eden, but with flaming swords turning every which way at the borders. But division and danger inevitably seep in, precipitated by the disastrous attempts of Zeph and Sammy to infiltrate this paradise.
Garland plays games with lost innocence that make the scandal surrounding the film ironic and fitting: DiCaprio is implicit in the very despoiling that his alter ego has been trying to escape, and ultimately is taken over by and becomes accomplice to. At the same time unattainables and unspeakables hover in the air like demons on the shoulders of the wannabe prelapsarians, and the climax of the novel is Conradian: dark and inescapable, pleasurable tourism with its back turned.
The novel has its faults, not least the author's love of short chapters. Each has its own narrative arc, collapsing the book into a collection of short stories, hung off the same thread. The climax is not felt until the last few pages, therefore, and nor do Richard's gaming and war-film obsessions really manifest themselves except as plot devices that put a twist to the rest of the book each time they appear. In addition the bending of Richard's character is never dealt with convincingly---the last great leap he makes into "Vietnam" is confusing and inexplicably inexplicable.
Nonetheless the book is a chilling account of the quest to regain innocence, and the unstoppability of the outside world's influx: poisoning, destroying, but ultimately humanizing with a euthanasia that frees the inhabitants of The Beach.

rouges get sneak attack right so do assassins and blakc guards so im thinking of a rouge/ assasin build and as just for my info what is max possible sneak attack all around no matter what levels like fighter assassin blackgaurd or what ever
Careful how you spell "Rogue" around here buddy. Rogues and Black Guards get Sneak Attack. Assassins get Death Attack. The max you can get, without taking any Improved Sneak Attack feats, is 20d6 I believe.
Max sneak attack I think is attained by Rogue 39 / Assassin 1, which gets up to 20d6 sneak attack + 1d6 death attack + 10d6 Improved Sneak Attack X (feat), for 31d6 sneak attack, dealing 31-186 on sneaks kills pretty fast. _________________ "My name is Thaxll'ssyllia, but you simians may refer to me merely as "Sir", if you prefer a less... syllable intensive workout."

Currently a Junior studying Computer Science planning to graduate in May 2020.
I have recently finished an iOS Software Engineering internship at Arbormoon Software, and I am also an incoming
Software Engineering Intern at Facebook for the summer of 2019.
I have had experience in full stack web development, mobile development, and game development, and I thrive
on the experience of facing new challenges and the process of overcoming them. No matter the task, I make
sure to give maximum effort in order to learn, teach, and succeed. I greatly enjoy coding for hours being 'wired in',
as well as the collaboration of people from multiple cultural backgrounds in order to achieve a goal.
I believe that optimal work is done not by enforcing uniformity, but by unity through diversity.
It is from all the different cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives that often the best solution presents itself.
Will start working at Menlo Park, California in May 2019.
- Developed an iOS app using multiple libraries and frameworks such as CoreLocation, Firebase/Firestore, CoreBluetooth, and others to detect employees moving in and out of the office. Additionally enables user to manipulate doors in the office. Back-end all done in NodeJS.
- Worked with multiple iOS and Android developers to create world-class, native applications for various clients.
- Member of a small team that managed and improved a dual iOS/Android application called LaserFox using Scrum/Agile development methodology with weekly sprints.
- Personally identified inefficient and non-user friendly interfaces and game play and rebuilt the framework to provide a user friendly and visually pleasing performance.

In my free time, I dedicate myselves towards hobbies and practices which not only improve my physical health,
but also increase my time management skills and concentration.
I have a passion towards working out and lifting weights as well as breakdancing. Both involve extreme dedication.
With bodybuilding, it truly is a battle against one's body and mind and being able to push the body past its limit
and sculpt it as I desire is truly a satisfying experience. As for dancing, it is the constant struggle of showcasing
my own individuality and creativity while simultaneously being clean, refined, and dynamic.
 While I may not have
the time to go again, my two mission trips to Haiti and the Dominican Republic have been the defining
moments in my life as we had fellowship, slept with, and served the locals there in the bateys. Additionally,
I met the girl who changed my life at the trip. I am always willing to share what the experience was
like to anyone who asks.
No matter what I do, I make sure to do it all for the glory of God!

Crossfilter is a JavaScript library for exploring large multivariate datasets in the browser. Crossfilter supports extremely fast (<30ms) interaction with coordinated views, even with datasets containing a million or more records; we built it to power analytics for Square Register, allowing merchants to slice and dice their payment history fluidly.
Since most interactions only involve a single dimension, and then only small adjustments are made to the filter values, incremental filtering and reducing is significantly faster than starting from scratch. Crossfilter uses sorted indexes (and a few bit-twiddling hacks) to make this possible, dramatically increasing the performance of live histograms and top-K lists. For more details on how Crossfilter works, see the API reference.
The coordinated visualizations below (built with D3) show nearly a quarter-million flights from early 2001: part of the ASA Data Expo dataset. The dataset is 5.3MB, so it might take a few seconds to download. Click and drag on any chart to filter by the associated dimension. The table beneath shows the eighty most recent flights that match the current filters; these are the details on demand, anecdotal evidence you can use to weigh different hypotheses.
Some questions to consider: How does time-of-day correlate with arrival delay? Are longer or shorter flights more likely to arrive early? What happened on January 12? How do flight patterns differ between weekends and weekdays, or mornings and nights? Fork this example and try your own data!

I had been smoking marijuana for around three years, and had never had a negative experience with it, medically. For the past several months I had been smoking a little more often then I used to, now smoking everyday, at least once a day, for a plethora of reasons. This day was at the end of a very stressful semester at school, and I was smoking with someone who I felt very comfortable with and had smoked with several times a week. This time we smoked quite a bit, I would guess about 2 grams or so between the two of us. This was to 'celebrate' the semester being over. It was a mistake.
I was streessed out, and had recently come out of surgery, and while no longer on meds from it, except one for Chrons disease, Pentasa, I take no supplements or vitamins, really, nor do I consume much caffeine. I was, honestly, very high, and having a good time, until I stood up and moved. I got back to my room and I thought I was going to die. My heart was racing, around 165 beats per minute and I was very pale and had this unforgettable sensation of cold water being pumped out of my heart with tingling in my extemities, hot flashes in my face, and an overwhelming feeling of panic and anxiety. I decided that it was time to bite the bullet and go to the hospital, because, health has to come first.
I went their, was berated and teased a bit by the staff, hooked up so they could moitor my Blood Pressure, Blood Oxygen, and Heart Rate, the latter was by far the most messed up. I was very calm in my mind and trying to sooth myself, slow my heart down which I can normally do, byut it was fluctuating between 80 and 160 beats per minute. They gave me 5 mg of Valium, and I calmed down after about 40 minutes.
I tried smoking a few hits a week or so later, and it did the same thing on a much smaller scale (panic, heart racing, flushing of the face, etc), and even now, exposure to the smoke makes me fell uncomfortable, light headed and such. I am sure their is a placebo affect, and some association going on from the 'overdose' earlier, but it is hear to stay, the 'allergy' as I call it, and while I miss smoking with my friends, my health has improved some, I know I won't smoke again. I have read of similar panic attacks that people, regular smokers, have had and I wanted to make sure to let people know that it happened to me too, but I don't know why. Be careful, know your health, and your priorties.

You should have at least an unofficial spec in hand and/or have discussed the API with other browser vendors or standards bodies before sending an intent to implement. If your change is not yet at this stage of maturity, feel free to solicit feedback informally on blink-dev instead. If this is an intent to ship, include a link to a tag review or a description about why the tag review process is being skipped.
{{feature.summary}}
Give a high-level description of your change.Explain why the web needs this change. It may be useful to describe what web developers are forced to do without it. When possible, include links to back up your claims.

Describe the degree of interoperability risk you believe this change poses. If this is a brand new feature, please characterize how much we might regret shipping this new feature because we might want to change or remove it in the future. If you don't have a launch tracking bug or row in the feature dashboard, include in this email links to relevant specs, standards discussions, or documentation about support for the feature in other browsers.Describe the risk that this change will break existing content.Do you anticipate adding any ongoing technical constraints to the codebase while implementing this feature? We prefer to avoid features which require or assume a specific architecture. For most features, the answer here is "None".Yes or no. If no, explain why certain platforms will not be included in your implementation.
{% if feature.bug_url %}{{feature.bug_url}}{% else %}None{% endif %}
Add crbug.com/### link here if an OWP launch tracking bug exists. Otherwise, indicate that there isn't one. You may be asked to create one.{{default_url}}The feature dashboard is used to keep track of web-facing changes in Blink (and V8) that matter to developers. Make sure your change has an entry if you think it merits outreach to developers (e.g inclusion in the Chromium Blog Beta posts). If there's no entry, please explain why you think this change doesn't need one (e.g. "small change", "fits under an existing entry"). You may be asked to create one."No" means you will be implementing your feature behind a runtime flag and sending an Intent to Ship email when you're ready to enable by default.
"Yes" means your change is small and you'd like to ship enabled-by-default immediately. Per the launch process for new features, you'll need LGTMs from 3 API OWNERS before shipping. If "yes", please change the title of the email to "Intent to Implement and Ship: ...".
