Pope St. John Paul II: Witness to the world
Russell Shaw October 10, 2018
CNS file photo
This is the 10th in a series looking at the Church's 12 most recent popes and the marks they've made on the Church. The series is appeared monthly throughout 2018.
Sometimes it seemed as if Pope St. John Paul II could do just about anything — do it well, in fact — if he simply set his mind to doing it. This impression of uncommon giftedness would by itself have been enough to give his pontificate its special aura.
You could sum him up something like this: charismatic contemplative, prophetic voice of orthodoxy, sophisticated intellectual with profound devotion to the Virgin Mary, poet and athlete, foe of communism and of Western "super development," philosopher and activist with an actor's flair. And finally, in those last, painful years of illness and decline, a figure in whom many saw a living icon of the suffering Christ.
Coming to the papacy after a long night of confusion and anxiety in the Church, Pope John Paul II set out to make things right. "Be not afraid," he reassured the crowd in St. Peter's Square right after his election. As vicar of Christ and servant of the servants of God, he took his own advice, pursuing policies reflecting uncommon faith and self-confidence for nearly 27 years.
He had his critics. Some groused about his teaching on sexual morality, others about his insistence that the Church can't ordain women, or his continued requirement of celibacy for priests of the Western Church, or his centralized leadership. Sometimes he was blamed for intervening too much in local bishops' affairs, other times — as in the sexual abuse scandal — for not intervening enough.
In the end, though, the critics could take nothing away from either the remarkable force of his personality or his extraordinary achievements. Eamon Duffy calls his pontificate — third longest in history, exceeded only by Blessed Pius IX and, according to tradition, St. Peter — one of the "most momentous" ever for its impact on the Church and the world.
From the underground
Karol Jozef Wojtyła was born in Wadowice, an industrial town near Krakow, on May 18, 1920, second son of Karol Wojytyla, a Polish army officer, and Emilia Kaczorowska Wojtyła. His mother died in 1929; his older brother, Edmund, a physician, in 1932; and his father in 1941.
Before World War II he studied philosophy at the Jagiellonian University. When the Nazi occupiers of Poland, seeking to stamp out Polish intellectual life, closed down the university, he worked in a quarry and a chemical plant while acting with an underground theater.
In October 1942, he enrolled in the clandestine seminary conducted by Cardinal Adam Sapieha of Krakow. Ordained Nov. 1, 1946, he went to Rome to study at the Angelicum — the Dominicans' Pontifical Athenaeum of St. Thomas.
Returning to Krakow, he did pastoral work, served as a student chaplain and continued his studies, receiving doctorates from the Jagiellonian in philosophy and theology. He then taught moral theology and ethics at the Catholic University of Lublin. He also carried on an active apostolate among young lay intellectuals and professionals. On July 4, 1958, during a kayaking trip with young friends, he got word that Pope Pius XII had named him auxiliary bishop of Krakow.
He attended all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council, speaking several times and helping write the council's Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, Declaration on Religious Freedom and Decree on the Means of Social Communication.
In 1960 he published "Love and Responsibility," a book presenting Church teaching on sexuality and marriage that is said to have influenced Pope St. Paul VI's encyclical Humanae Vitae. (Human sexuality was a subject to which Wojtyła would return years later as pope in laying out a distinctive new "theology of the body" in a series of audience talks.)
On Jan. 13, 1964, Paul VI appointed him archbishop of Krakow. In the years that followed, he took part regularly in assemblies of the Synod of Bishops, convened an archdiocesan synod in Krakow, traveled widely in Europe and North America and even visited Australia, the Philippines and New Guinea. Pope Paul named him a cardinal on June 26, 1967. His book "The Acting Person," a densely written philosophical study, was published in 1969. In Lent of 1976 he preached the annual retreat attended by Pope Paul and the Roman curia. The meditations were published in a book titled "A Sign of Contradiction."
Pope for Poland, world
On Oct. 16, 1978, at the conclave following the sudden death of Pope John Paul I, he was elected 263rd successor of St. Peter, making him the first non-Italian to hold the office since 1522, the first Pole ever and the youngest pope since Pius IX. The long pontificate that followed had numerous highlights.
One of these was his role in the collapse of Soviet communism and the dissolution of the Soviet empire in Eastern Europe — events in which his name is often linked to the names of President Ronald Reagan and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
In June 1979, his first visit to Poland since his election sparked a huge upsurge of Polish patriotic and religious sentiment, with 13 million people turning out to see him, hear him and pray with him.
POPE ST. JOHN PAUL II AT A GLANCE
CNS photo via Joe Rimkus Jr.
– Born Karol Jozef Wojtyła on May 18, 1920
– Ordained a priest in 1946, an auxiliary bishop in 1958, an archbishop in 1964 and made a cardinal in 1967
– Third-longest reigning pope from Oct. 16, 1978-April 2, 2005, first Pole ever and first non-Italian pope since 1522
– Canonized 482 saints and beatified 1,338 others
– Helped bring down communism and reconcile Catholics with Jews and Orthodox
– Beatified May 1, 2011, and canonized April 27, 2014, only nine years after his death
Years later he attributed the fall of Soviet communism largely to the reaction against "the spiritual void brought about by atheism." Perhaps he was recalling the day in 1979 when the congregation at a Mass he celebrated in Warsaw's Victory Square began shouting, "We want God." He also gave significant moral and material support to the Solidarity labor movement in its struggle with the Polish communist regime.
Poland was hardly the only place visited by this most-traveled of popes, who covered a million miles in 104 trips outside Italy in his personal program of global evangelization. Five times he came to the United States — twice to address the United Nations — and crisscrossing the nation. Fidelity to the moral principles embodied in their founding documents was the heart of his message to Americans. For, as he insisted in Baltimore in 1995, "democracy cannot be sustained without a shared commitment to certain moral truths about the human person and human community."
'Santo subito!'
John Paul was an ecumenical and interreligious innovator who, in Duffy's words, "did more than any single individual in the whole history of Christianity to reconcile Jews and Christians." Catholic-Orthodox reunion also was a special cause for him. His 1995 encyclical Ut Unum Sint took the unusual step of inviting other Christians' thinking on the role of the papacy.
His many writings as pope reflect his personalist philosophy and his roots in Vatican II. Along with important documents on the laity and the dignity of women, four of his encyclicals are considered particularly noteworthy: the social encyclical Centesimus Annus (1991), Veritatis Splendor (1993) on fundamental moral principles, Evangelium Vitae (1995) on life issues, and Fides et Ratio in 1998 on the link between philosophy and faith.
Insisting that both things — philosophy and faith — are needed as antidotes to contemporary postmodern relativism and skepticism, he wrote: "To believe it possible to know a universally valid truth is in no way to encourage intolerance; on the contrary, it is the essential condition for sincere and authentic dialogue between persons." Catholic author Robert Royal calls his message "vital for a world that has lost its faith in reason."
John Paul canonized 482 saints — more than all his predecessors combined — and beatified 1,338 others. The saints include Maximilian Kolbe, Edith Stein, Mary Faustina Kowalska, Katherine Drexel, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, and Josemaria Escriva. John Paul also promulgated the revised Code of Canon Law, a project originating in the pontificate of John XXIII, and commissioned and approved the new Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Church's first general catechism in 400 years.
In May of 1981, Pope John Paul was shot in St. Peter's Square by a Turkish gunman named Mehmet Ali Agca, apparently acting on behalf of Bulgarian intelligence in a plot orchestrated by Soviet intelligence. After a long and difficult recovery, he resumed his strenuous schedule, but starting in the early 1990s he suffered visibly from Parkinson's.
After his death on Saturday, April 2, 2005, the crowd in the square began shouting, "Santo subito!" — canonize him now. Nine years later, on April 27, 2014, Pope Francis formally declared him a saint.

EMUI 11 brings along smoother animation effects over EMUI 10. It brings features like Multi-Screen Collaboration that lets you access multiple apps simultaneously. Multi-Screen Collaboration brings app screens to your laptop for easy access. It also brings keyboard and mouse sharing on smartphones. EMUI 11 also brings an AI Subtitles feature that offers real-time translations from English, Japanese, and Korean into Chinese. Further, there is a platform-wide translation support that enables text- and image-based translations.
The new version of EMUI also uses the core structure of Huawei's HarmonyOS that would help the company eventually move from the Android to its proprietary offering that is made out of scratch. EMUI 11 lacks Google Mobile Services that offer Google Play and other apps of the search giant.

Landing page design is easier when you have some inspiration, so I dug out some of the cool pages our customers have been building in Unbounce. Would love to hear your thoughts about the pages in the comments section.
It has a Zebra crossed with a Rhino! How can you not like that?
It's a very congruent page, where the imagery supports the headline (a new breed). The call to action is very obvious, using conversion design principles (whitespace and contrast) and has text that explains a key benefit (that you can try it for free). The compelling design kept me on the page for a long time and more importantly, made me want to share it with other people. Having a viral quality is a big bonus for a landing page.
Considering the viral quality of the design, I'd like to see some type of "Share This" social media button (Facebook or Twitter).
After clicking through to the destination page (a sign up form) – I noticed that the application can be used on an iPad. It would be a great test to have a video on the landing page that plays inside an image of an iPad. Showing the tool in action could provide the extra information required to inspire a sign-up.
The design is fun and original, and helps establish the tone of a learning environment. The form stands out well due to the contrasting color and makes it very obvious what the intended conversion goal of the page is. The sidebar is set up well to provide a list of benefits – easy for testing.
The page could use a stronger headline that describes the unique value proposition of the service. It takes a little while to understand what you are signing up for.
The CTA should describe what it is you'll get by registering.
Ideally the submit button would be more distinct. Right now it doesn't look like a button. Although, it's only small factor on a page this simple.
Consider having different landing pages for the separate demographics (students and parents). This would allow you to target your messaging more closely to their needs.
It's instantly obvious what the page is about. Fashion. The headline spells out the core value of the service and the single field lead gen form provides a low barrier to entry for people interested in receiving updates.
An example of the type of information you will receive. A lightbox popup containing an example email, that shows the inside information subscribers will get, might convince me to register.
A short privacy statement to let me know you'll not abuse my email address.
Perhaps an indication of when you might launch?
Who is it for? If it's just women's clothing, you should probably state that in the copy. It's implied by the photos, but not explicitly stated. If it will cover men's fashion, either include some male models in the photos or create a separate landing page for each segment.
What's The Dealio? San Francisco.
Firstly, a beautiful design that echos the vibrant color of the Golden Gate Bridge. From a conversion standpoint, the fine print beneath the form lets you know what to expect – a daily email.
The main headline is being A/B tested on different versions of the page which is great. From the three I saw, the one shown seemed to be the strongest (but you can never tell). I'd like to see a very direct statement here that says something very simple like: "Get a new San Fran discount every day".
Like the previous example, showing a sample of what you'll get might be of benefit, although it's less of an issue here as the service is live and you'll get something sent to you almost immediately.
I'd change the CTA to say something like "Send me the dealio" rather than "Submit".
Simple clean design, with a subtle directional cue (the owls beak) that points to the form and matches the CTA color. The informational hierarchy encourage reading: brand->value proposition->benefits->details->CTA.
Like the previous example (above), it breaks a fundamental rule of conversion – the non-descriptive CTA. Change the button text to describe what you'll get when you click it.
The statement "Find out more" doesn't provide enough of a sense of what I'll receive. Will it be another page? A PDF? An email full of information? To find out more, I might just type the brand name into Google, rather than give up my email. Let visitors know what they'll receive and make it a worthwhile trade.
If the product/service hasn't launched yet, make this clear. If it is live, then provide access to some screenshots or a video of it being used.
Video: you can listen to some smooth music while you check out the band list.
Social Proof: the Facebook widget shows photos of anyone you know that's "recommended" the page alongside a count of smooth music fans.
Secondary CTA's: the footer has a couple of extra ways to stay in touch.
Provide a clearly stated secondary headline beneath Smooth Sailing, which describes what the event is. "12 Vancouver Bands Play Yacht Rock Covers from the 70s". This would make me understand it a lot more quickly.
Add a play button beside each band to let you hear an audio preview (a la iTunes).
Put a lighter background behind the Facebook widget – right now it's hard to see.
Throw up a lightbox style popup with a Map to the location "The Biltmore" – to prevent people leaving the page to figure it out.
I like the idea of vitamins being kid-friendly and the design reinforces the fun factor. As it's targeted at parents, they do a good job of answering three core concerns a parent might have: Will this help my kids take vitamins? Is it safe? What's in it?
I also like the safety net CTA which offers up a phone number if you have any questions. The "As Seen On MSNBC" is also a good trust signal to potential buyers.
I would be interested to see how much information is required to make a purchase of this type of product. Typically, landing pages perform better when you remove extraneous navigation from the page. A good test might be to remove the 16 links found on the page. Perhaps the target buyer (mothers) like to spend the research time. A technique to keep them on the page longer would be to use some modal popup windows that show the explanation of scientific terms and the doctor bio without making them leave. As an example, check out the "Contest Rules" link at the bottom of our contest landing page.


The rapidly increasing cost of natural gas on the wholesale market left state regulators with little choice but to approve Avista Utilities' application for an increase of an average 23.8 percent to cover the costs the company incurs buying gas for its 66,000 north Idaho customers.
The increase, which becomes effective Nov. 1, does not increase company earnings. The revenue raised from the surcharge – $15.2 million – is placed in a deferred account and can be used only to pay gas supply, transportation and storage expenses.
"Given the specific customer concerns, we wish to make clear that no portion of this increase is to pay executive officers of Avista; to pay debt arising from poor investments or imprudent purchases or to pay advertising costs or the sponsorship of sports teams/arenas. The rate increase in this case is solely related to the recovery of costs from the increased price of natural gas," the commission said.
State law requires that regulated utilities be allowed to recover from customers all prudently incurred expense. The commission uses a yearly mechanism, called the Purchased Gas Cost Adjustment (PGA) that allows the company to adjust rates to reflect changes in the costs for purchases of gas from the wholesale market.
With the increase, the bill of an average residential and small-business customer who uses 70 therms a month will increase about $16.36 per month, from about $70 to $86.36.
The commission noted the financial hardship increases of this size place on customers, but indicated the PGA is a temporary surcharge that tracks wholesale gas prices and not a permanent base rate increase. The PGA applications "are generally external costs over which the company has little or no control," the commission said. The commission did order the company to file for another rate adjustment if forward commodity prices decrease by 5 percent or more from the forward prices approved in this order.
Before the wholesale gas market became so volatile the annual PGA adjustment was not significant and, during some years, customers got decreases. That has not been true in recent years with the rapidly increasing cost of natural gas. In the past year, natural gas prices have more closely followed the price of crude oil and both are at historically high levels. In 2004, the company received a 14.2 percent increase in its PGA. In 2003, the PGA was increased 2.5 percent, but in 2002 customers got a 15.6 percent decrease.
In filed comments, the commission staff commended Avista for its increased contributions to programs that provide financial assistance to customers on low and fixed incomes. In the past five years, Avista shareholders donated $565,000 to Project Share, a program to provide energy assistance to qualifying customers, and increased its funding for weatherization programs for low-income customers from $108,000 per year to $350,000 per year.
A full text of the commission's order, along with other documents related to this case, are available on the commission's Web site at www.puc.idaho.gov. Click on "File Room" and then on "Gas Cases" and scroll down to Case No. AVU-G-05-02.
Interested parties may petition the commission for reconsideration by no later than Nov. 17. Petitions for reconsideration must set forth specifically why the petitioner contends that the order is unreasonable, unlawful or erroneous. Petitions should include a statement of the nature and quantity of evidence the petitioner will offer if reconsideration is granted.


Visions From Beyond The Dave Archive.
Author Lydia Peever chats to Kendall Reviews.
Lydia Peever is a horror author, designer and journalist from Ontario, Canada. She is a big fan of horror music, books, and film; so anywhere there is blood, you will probably find her lurking somewhere in the corner.
Her short stories have appeared in Postscripts To Darkness, Dark Moon Digest, For When The Veil Drops, Memento Mori, her small collection Pray Lied Eve and it's sequel Pray Lied Eve 2. The follow up to her first novel Nightface has also been written.
In her spare time, she helps update the new releases section of the Horror Writers Association website, photographs zombie walks, and records a few podcasts like Splatterpictures Dead Air. She also talks about horror books on Youtube at typicalbooks.
KR: Could you tell me a little about yourself please?
Growing up in small-town countryside Ontario has truly shaped my writing and who I am. The first house I recall turned out to be a murder house, but my formative years were spent in a decidedly haunted farmhouse surrounded by books. Somehow, I get along well in the big city blending my love of horror, writing, photography to smooth the sharp edges of design and technology that make up my career.
KR: What do you like to do when not writing?
Visiting cafes, reading, a little gardening when I can, and cleaning mostly. I also spend several hours a week working on Dead Air podcast with Wes Knipe so that translates into editing and recording audio after watching some fantastic horror films.
KR: What is your favourite childhood book?
Oh my, there are so many. Likely my grandmothers copy of "The Poetical Works of Edgar Allan Poe" with illustrations by Edmund Dulac. It has been a constant fixture since I can first remember being read to, and is one of my prized possessions to this day.
KR: What is your favourite album, and does music play any role in your writing?
For the past few years, my favourite album has been "Evasive" by Neurotech. I typically listen to harder music which Wulf, that musician, has also created, but that album has been a definite fixture. Black Dahlia Murder, Skinny Puppy, Encephalon, Black Claw and Skeletonwitch are huge favourites of mine. Music figured heavily while writing my first novel, and the entirety of the short story "Jack And the Box" was written to the Maniac soundtrack by Rob, so yes music does play a role. Most often, however, I write in silence or with the buzz of a cafe around me.
KR: Do you have a favourite horror movie/director?
"Halloween 2" is still my favourite horror film of all time as it pushes all the buttons I like. So hard to pick a favourite director as each has their hits and misses and many new creators pique my interest every year.
KR: What are you reading now?
Right now it is "The Nightmare Room" by Chris Sorensen. Being a blend of small-town haunted farmhouse darkness and the oddity of being a voice actor as the lead role is, it jumped out at me the moment I read the synopsis.
KR: Who were the authors that inspired you to write?
Surely Stephen King. Not only for each work he has given us, but the candid insight on the writer's life through his non-fiction and interviews. There was a shelf of his books in my grandmother's house alongside her "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", Shirley Jackson and hardbound classics which all have a tint of darkness to them. Kathe Koja and Otsuichi have been massive influences later, as they both write with such a peculiar style it reminds me not all work has to conform. I read a lot of Clive Barker, Anne Rice, and any mass-market horror I could so it all plays a part for certain.
KR: Do you work to an outline or plot or do you prefer to just see where an idea takes you?
Both, and a hybrid of plotting where I plan a beginning or end, and fill in the rest as inspired to do so. My first novel took a long time as I wrote it all on whims. I decided to plot the sequel and it is taking me nearly as long so neither method wins. Some short stories are written in a one-day frenzy from start to finish and some chiselled out from notes. I've been pressed for time this year so took to writing short outlines to squirrel away so I may become a full-time plotter yet!
KR: What kind of research do you do, and how long do you spend researching before beginning a book?
Every single day is full of research. Being a genealogy fan and finding myself in the Dewey Decimal System 300 and 800 sections so often as a teen, I don't think it ever starts or stops. If I need a particular data there can be some items found online but I have been known to get to the library or pick up the phone and cold-call an expert. As a journalist I became comfortable with asking questions so have spoken to medical professionals, charnel house workers, morticians, psychoanalysts and many others when needed although I do often rely heavily on conclusions based on my own experience.
KR: Describe your usual writing day?
Since it varies I would have to say my best writing days start early after tidying up and some coffee. I'll write at the laptop at a desk or table. If I start to get stagnant I'll bundle myself off to a cafe and write there until it gets noisy or I feel done for the day. If I am writing longhand, it is usually all in a nearby cafe. When I am writing after a workday, it still involves coffee and will be a sprint of an hour or two at home or in a cafe.
KR: Do you have a favourite story/short that you've written (published or not)?
"Bad Shepherd" is a darling of mine, and many other people as well! Still my most listened to story on The Wicked Library, and it is the gem of my first collection Pray Lied Eve. Written entirely in pencil in a battered Moleskine during college, even the act of creating that story is precious to me.
KR: Do you read your book reviews?
I do since they are valuable to ensure I make sense and the tone is hitting the right nerves. Figuring out who my audience takes time and will continue to shift so the only barometer I have is reading reviews. Since I don't get out much or have any other way to hear how my writing is received, reviews serve a larger purpose than driving promotion.
KR: Any advice for a fledgling author?
Write and submit. Create a cycle of writing and submitting. Beyond the first few submissions which are exciting, don't get hung up on that lengthy and shadowy process. Accept the submission process can be lengthy and shadowy and keep writing. Even if you choose to never submit a piece, keep writing.
There was an op-ed piece I wrote for the Ottawa Citizen on this very topic. It boils down to that phone call in the wee hours. Ringing when you are groggy and feeling safe. You have no idea what is on the other end, and even if it is a wrong number those moments in between shrill rings the mind races to the absolute worst case scenarios and back again. It's a terrible feeling punctuated by terrible thoughts so I'd say the possibility of doom being delivered remotely scares me. You can read it here www.nightface.ca/what-scares-me/.
KR: E-Book, Paperback or Hardback?
All three, please. Not being a big collector, I do have a few hardcovers and can see more in my future but prefer paperback since I rotate my shelves often. E-reading is a great preview or way to get books on the go when I didn't bring something to read, but I don't prefer one over the others.
KR: Can you tell me about your latest release please?
"Pray Lied Eve", my short collection, came out on Audible May 21, 2018. Working with talented narrator D. Michael Hope was perfect as the whole process went so smoothly. He really brings a great voice to these three short tales of fear, confusion and hopelessness. We are working on the sequel at the moment, so having the two come out in tandem is perfect for those that want something a little longer. My most recent print release was a short story, "Model Hearts", in the anthology Allucinor: Element of Romance from ID Publishing. All the stories in there are romance written by genre writers who had not tackled romance before, so a fascinating and well-wrought experiment in fiction.
KR: What are you working on now?
After a busy year where I little time to write more than two new pieces, I have a few outlines to work up into shorts, novellas, and a novel I am toying with. Looming over all of that is "Nightface II" which is teetering on the edge of being sent to beta-readers. Right this moment, my narrator D. Michael Hope and I are working on "Pray Lied Eve 2" coming out on audible, and a translator is wrapping up the Japanese version of "Pray Lied Eve" – both projects are wonderfully exciting to me.
KR: You find yourself on a desert island, which three people would you wish to be deserted with you and why?
a) One fictional character from your writing.
I've never really understood these sort of questions, but years of listening to This Is Horror and hearing them I guess people like them! I'd like to be stranded with Sinthia from Nightface since she is quiet and sleeps in the sand so it would be like I am alone. She is basically a bulletproof zombie creature too, so she could do all the grunt work, easy.
b) One fictional character from any other book.
Hannibal Lecter so I could have some proper conversation for a while, and would not be there long before he is stranded by himself with a full stomach.
c) One real life person that is not a family member or friend.
That is really tough as I'd really rather not, but if pressed, then Noam Chomsky for the conversation. Surely he appreciates solitude and quiet but would have great insight on our inevitable and quickened demise being stranded.
KR: Thank you very much Lydia.
Kaia is haunted by fingerprints marring the basement door. No matter how hard she scrubs, they return day after day. The only things in the cellar are old Halloween decorations, and she double checks, everyday.
Connor has sighted the most miraculous and mysterious thing in his life. Either no one else can see them, or no one believes it. Ice balls larger than a fist smash to the ground regularly. When the church bells ring just right, another one falls.
Laurel knows animals can talk. Sometimes they ask her to do things. One will explain why they have always been drawn to her. By that time, she has grown and so have they; into hideous demons with terrible demands.
Horror, weird tales, quiet stories of the supernatural… call them what you will, these six stories serve as a following to the first three dark offerings of Pray Lied Eve. This second installment is longer and delves more deeply into realms perhaps best left undisturbed. Sadness, thoughts of revenge, scenes of torture; many people find themselves exploring these things alone so Pray Lied Eve will offer to be your guide. Have your mirror image ruined, and all sense of safety in your home with The Ringer. Explore the madness of the carnival after dark with Jack and the Box. Halloween Hopscotch sounds fun, but when everyone knows what you've done… or simply ignore the atrocities of the past and visit Midway Park. Witness nightmares come alive during the Widow's Wake, and then leave it all As Is, Where Is. If you enjoy these tales, please leave a review and suggest Pray Lied Eve at your local library.
Vampire evolution. He could not remember a thing, who he was or where he came from. Flashes come, like distant lightning. A song, an abandoned house of isolated opulence, and visions of the undead… Then he meets a girl—the only person who recognizes him—her body marked with hundreds of scars. Gunnar isn't sure if the police want him after finding his landlords body but runs anyway. He is led to the old house on Black River Road where memories come clearer and more disturbing. Memories of blood, vampires, and the one who forced this dark world upon him. Worst of all, he remembers how easily he embraced that darkness.

Jean-Baptiste-Théodore Blanc est un ouvrier-typographe au journal La Gironde, poète et chroniqueur gascon, né au Bouscat le  et mort à Toulouse le .

Cursus
Sylvain Trébucq, puis Edouard Bourciez, repris par Pierre-Louis Berthaud signalent ses publications. Alain Viaut en précise la biographie et complète sa bibliographie. Guy Latry découvre les articles de Blanc publiés par La Gironde du Dimanche, supplément de La Gironde destinée aux électeurs populaires et ruraux, de 1869 à 1871, et les publie avec ses autres œuvres en 2017.

L'œuvre de Blanc se distingue en cela qu'il est pro-républicain, à une époque où le Bordeaux littéraire - notamment gascon - est majoritairement monarchiste ou favorable à l'Empereur. Rares sont alors les journaux ouvertement pro-républicains, encore plus rares ceux rédigés en gascon - citons l'exception notable de Ech Luroun Républicain, publié à la même époque, à Cierp en Haute-Garonne.

Blanc puise, comme ses contradicteurs gascons contemporains, aux mêmes sources d'inspiration littéraire en bordelais : Meste Verdié et Jacques Boé dit Jasmin. Comme eux, il déclame ses textes en public sur les scènes bordelaises.

Ligne éditoriale
Le thème le plus souvent traité par Blanc est celui du fossé qui sépare les citadins des ruraux sous l'Empire. Blanc donne des lectures publiques de ses textes satiriques dont l'un est censuré, sur la scène des théâtres bordelais. Ceci lui vaut un poste de responsable de la rubrique « prose et poésie gasconnes » au sein du journal La Gironde du Dimanche. Il y a pour objectif de ramener l'électorat paysan, massivement bonapartiste, vers la République, et s'adresse, lui l'ouvrier d'origine rurale, aux "paysans comme moi". Anatole Loquin, alias Paul Lavigne dira de lui qu'il est « le meilleur représentant actuel de la vraie poésie bordelaise, celle du terroir » par opposition aux « pièces composées artificiellement dans un but d'édification ou de propagande religieuse ».

Guy Latry identifie trois périodes dans ses publications.

Première période : l'écrivain social, de février 1869 à septembre 1870
Durant cette période, Blanc fait figure d'agent électoral de la République et s'en prend à la gabegie des dépenses de l'État, aux entraves à la liberté de la presse, à la loi militaire de Niel en 1868 qui augmente la durée de cinq ans du service militaire de quatre années de service dans la garde mobile, les candidats à la députation proposés et soutenus par les maires, la répercussion abusive par les propriétaires des augmentations d'impôts sur les loyers.

Seconde période : la République, quoi qu'il en coûte, d'octobre à décembre 1870
Blanc s'affiche alors comme soutien indéfectible de Gambetta et de la guerre à tout prix, rappelant tant qu'il le peut les méfaits de l'Empire.

Pour Blanc, la République c'est la liberté d'expression, l'égalité, l'État économe. Il soutient l'idée, lancée par Hugo, d'États-Unis d'Europe.

Troisième période : la colère contre l'ignorance, de février à juillet 1871
C'est un revirement complet auquel se livre Blanc, qui dénonce désormais le conservatisme politique des paysans. Pour lui, les paysans sapent les fondements de la République et même, de l'idéal démocratique : il en conclut paradoxalement que le suffrage universel leur donne une influence néfaste, contraire à l'intérêt général.

Les chroniques de Blanc divergeant de la ligne éditoriale modérée du journal qui l'emploie, il renonce temporairement à ses éditoriaux et publie à nouveau du 2 avril au 18 juin 1871, dans ce même journal, un roman par épisodes intitulé Caoufrés, lou mobile daou troisième batailloun. Dans ce rare feuilleton en langue occitane, Blanc dresse le portrait d'un mobile de la Gironde, jeune homme doux et sensible qui subit la guerre dans toute sa violence, confronté jusqu'au dégoût, au manque de solidarité de la France paysanne qui ferme la porte aux soldats qui risquent pourtant leur vie pour la défendre, et aux vexations, aux abus d'autorité de la hiérarchie militaire pouvant aller jusqu'à l'exécution pour l'exemple.

Attachement à la langue
Tour à tour idéaliste, partisan transcendé puis malheureux lucide et déçu, Blanc n'a eu de cesse d'exprimer sa propre déchirure identitaire entre ses origines et sa vocation, non réconciliées : c'est en gascon, langue de ses origines paysannes, que s'exprime le poète-ouvrier citadin qu'il est devenu. Parallèlement à ses chroniques, il publie en 1869 un Armanac Bourdelès, puis en 1873 un Armanac gascoun. Son journal, Lou Raouzelet, paru lors de la déclaration de guerre, n'aura qu'un seul numéro : le 17 juillet 1870.

Blanc, attaché à sa langue maternelle, veut la sauver de l'oubli auquel elle est promise, et même lui donner un rôle dans la vie politique.

Mountains, rivers, glaciers, moose and salmon, and so much more. Let us take you to the places that few see, and fewer experience. Our best-known is our famous, long-running Gateway to the Arctic. This trip is run through REI Adventures for many, many years, but for 2018, we are making this a private, custom trip. One of the big reasons is simply because this trip has changed: long-time friend Joee Redington Jr, of Manley, AK, passed away over the 2017 summer. Stopping at his kennels, and having Joee and his wife Pam tell stories about mushing, the equipment, the dogs, and the people, was a high point. Joee's father, the Senior to Joee's Jr, was the founder of the Iditarod sled race.
ALASKA is simply too huge to try to describe in a few words or few pictures – or on a web page. I have traveled much of it since I first came up here to work in 1990, and still have many more places to see. Those places that my trips visit make my trips as much cultural tours as camping or hiking tours, we know the people and the history and can make the trip a connection to those who live there.
You will see some pictures here by Rich Reid of Rich Reid Photograhy, famous for his Alaska photos. I have worked with him on a variety of photo tours in the past, and if you think you have a good 'eye' and want to add some stunning Alaska shots to your collection, try one of Rich's standard workshops (click on one of his photos), or a custom tour with us if you have a like-minded group that you'd like to travel with.
My longest-running trip was the REI Adventures Gateway to the Arctic, a tour from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay. I have been doing it since the highway known as the Haul Road along the Alaska Pipeline first opened to the public in 1993. This 10-day trip started in Fairbanks, and ended at Prudhoe Bay. Along the way, we provided awesome scenery, dogsleders, a unique private hot springs, a genuine backcountry trapper, visit a native village that is not connected by a road to the rest of the world, canoe up a slough looking for a glimpse of moose, and climb an unnamed mountain in the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve. We'll still do this trip as a private trip – one departure already late last year – with a modified itinerary to suit the group.
Here are some of the other trips I have run before, with itineraries that I know work well. These are all available as custom or charter tours.
Women's Alaska Adventure; an 11-Day Alaskan Experience for Women. This trip is designed as an introduction to the great Alaskan outdoors….the all-woman atmosphere is designed for camaraderie and a chance to try things you've always wanted to, but didn't have the chance, with the comfort of new found friends. Whether this trip is with the girls from work, life-long friends, or family, this trip is about discovering the adventure traveler within. This trip is planned with all are depart/return to Anchorage.
Alaska Experience; This is the tour for everyone, a way to get an experience of Alaska, the sights, sounds, tastes of this magnificent state. Although this is the least strenuous of our trips, travelers should still expect to be walking in a variety of terrain and of course a mix of weather. There are many possibilities for this custom tour, contact me for a list of itinerary and time options.


Anxiety is a form of stress that not only affects the way you feel and act but also has an impact on your physical health and appearance. I went through many years of debilitating social anxiety and I journalled the effects it had on my physical health and appearance. I noted an increase in hair loss, a deterioration of skin appearance, increased muscle tension and increased skin sebum. But are these symptoms typical of anxiety?
In observing many of the physical symptoms of those who suffer anxiety I can say with confidence that hair loss is certainly not a guaranteed result of prolonged anxiety. In fact many anxiety sufferers can go for years suffering the condition without any major impact on their hair growth. However, emotional stress does have an impact on physical health, which undoubtedly affects the appearance of skin and hair; whether it causes increased acne or worsening of hair health, or other visible physical symptoms.
How does stress affect your hair?
Several studies, including a UCLA study on mice in 2010, have demonstrated that stress causes hair loss. In the UCLA study the researchers used a drug to block the stress hormone "corticotrophin-releasing factor" and hair loss ceased or reversed as a result.
When the mind is in a state of anxiety, proteins from the thymus or lymph glands are converted to sugar for instant energy. Continued anxiety makes the body draw on further nutrients to compensate. This process releases free-radicals, which in turn necessitates a increased supply of ever-diminishing antioxidants to tackle the free-radicals.
In addition to a reduction in the availability of key nutrients required for hair growth, stress and anxiety also causes increased muscle tension, particularly in the neck and shoulders, increased skin sebum production and an increase in hormones that must be processed by the liver. A strong supply of blood to the hair is crucial for hair growth: the hair receives the nutrients it needs to grow via the bloodstream. However increased muscle tension and a decreased availability of vitamin C can reduce blood supply to the hair. Factors such as smoking also decrease the supply of blood to the hair.
Sebum can clog the pores in the scalp, which may hinder hair growth: sebum contains a hormone called 'DHT', which causes hair loss.
So you can see how anxiety can have an impact on hair growth, particularly if you are a smoker, don't exercise regularly and don't consume high levels of antioxidants and B vitamins to compensate for those lost due to high stress levels.
What can you do to reverse the damage?
The first and most important thing is to take active steps to reduce your anxiety levels. Since anxiety may be the root cause of your hair loss, reducing your anxiety levels may have a direct impact on your hair growth. Secondly, you need to reverse the damage caused by high stress levels.
Just as you need to eat more proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals after participating in heavy exercise to compensate for the use of nutrients, you need to increase your intake of key nutrients that help promote hair growth in order to recover from stress related hair loss.
There are really three key elements to this equation. One is an increase in the consumption of the key amino acids for hair growth, such as cysteine and lysine. Another is an increase in the consumption of supporting nutrients that better enable your body to use the building blocks to grow new hair. And last but certainly not least you need to increase the amount of blood being supplied to the hair, in order to deliver the nutrients to the follicles.
That said, I can't stress enough how important the first step is: reducing your anxiety levels. Although it is relatively easy to increase your consumption of the key nutrients that promote hair growth and there are some easy ways to increase blood flow to your scalp; conquering your anxiety is not an easy task. And until you are able to reduce your anxiety levels you will always be compensating for the underlying problem.


Wonder workers have come to the town of Carey in Arucadi's heartland, and the town will never be the same.
Ed Robbins, known to the townsfolk as Simple Eddie, discovers that he is magically gifted, and his life is transformed. Abigail Dormer, respected headmistress of the Dormer Primary School for Young Ladies, does not believe in magic and is convinced that Kyla and Marta are charlatans until Abigail's own magic abilities reveal themselves, much to her consternation. Jerome Esterville, rebellious son of a pious mother, also discovers a gift, but it is wild magic, not from the Power-Giver, and if not restrained will turn him to terrible evil. Councilor Hardwick, head of the Carey City Council, hopes to receive power and, when that gift is denied him, sets the council and most of the town against the "wonder workers." Devastation looms for the town, and Kyla and Marta face death. Ed's magical gifts may provide a solution, but only if Kyla and Marta can train him before disaster overtakes them all.
Ed stopped sweeping the hall and leaned against his broom, caught up in the tale Miss Leah was telling her class of eight- and nine-year-olds. Miss Leah didn't mind, usually, if he eavesdropped on her lessons, and this was the kind of story he loved, with witches and dragons and a prince with a sword. A story about magic.
"Edwin, you won't get your work done like that." He jumped and pushed the broom past the doorway of Miss Leah's classroom before he turned and faced his accuser.
"I'm sorry, Miss Abigail," he mumbled, avoiding the woman's stern gaze.
"She shouldn't be filling the children's heads with that sort of nonsense, and you should not be listening to it. It's bad enough for children, but you aren't a child anymore. You're nineteen years old. You must behave like an adult."
"I'm sorry," he repeated, trying to move farther from the door so Miss Abigail's firm whisper could not be heard in the classroom. He didn't want Miss Leah to hear what Miss Abigail said about her stories. Miss Abigail and Miss Leah disagreed about many things, though they never got real angry with each other. It made him sad and confused when they argued, since he could never figure out who was right.
He liked Miss Leah. She never fussed at him, never chased him away when he paused at her door to listen to a lesson. She even helped him sometimes with his reading and sums. She didn't think he was too simple to learn, like a lot of people said.
Miss Abigail didn't think so either. If it had been an arithmetic lesson or a spelling drill he'd been listening to, she wouldn't have said anything. Miss Abigail was all hard edges, not soft and gentle like Miss Leah. She could be mean sometimes, and make him do a chore all over again if she didn't like the way he'd done it the first time. But she wasn't bad, not at all. She'd saved him from being sent to the workhouse when his pa died, giving him the janitor's job at her Dormer Primary School for Young Ladies, though people like Councilor Hardwick and Councilor Slamm declared he'd never learn the work. She'd shown him patiently what was expected of him, one step at a time until he got it, and although she scolded him when he made mistakes, she never beat him and told him how stupid he was the way his pa used to do.
"Come to my office when you finish sweeping this corridor, Edwin," Miss Abigail said. "I have another task for you."
He nodded, and she marched away, leaving him to worry about the "new task" and whether she meant it as punishment for listening to Miss Leah's storytelling. He hoped he hadn't got Miss Leah into trouble. Miss Abigail might not have noticed what Miss Leah was reading to the children if he hadn't drawn her attention to it by eavesdropping. Though maybe she would have heard anyway. Not much escaped Miss Abigail's notice.
Miss Abigail said that children should read "real life tales" with "didactic purpose," whatever that meant, while Miss Leah said that children needed stories that "stimulated their imaginations."
He'd asked Miss Leah what that meant, and she'd said, "It means that children need to learn to make pictures in their heads, pictures of things they've never seen, of things nobody has ever seen. If they learn that when they're little, when they grow up they can make new things because they can picture them first in their heads. That's called inventing, Ed. People have to have imagination to be able to invent new things."
"You mean someday somebody might 'invent' a dragon or a flying carpet?"
Miss Leah laughed. "Well, not those things exactly, but maybe something like them." He'd thought she was laughing at him, but she hurried to explain, "Somebody made up a picture of a train in his head and built it and now we have trains to make it easy to travel across our whole big country. A trip that took months by horse-drawn wagon can be made in days. All because an inventor used his imagination."
He thought about that while he pushed his broom. He was simple, but he could make pictures in his head. All his life he'd done that to escape the pain of his pa's beatings. He had a special place he always pictured, not anywhere he'd ever really been, but a pretty place with trees and flowers and birds and a cool stream he could bathe in and friendly animals he could talk to. With all the time he'd spent in that place, he could describe it as well as he could describe downtown Carey. Better, even. There were lots of places in Carey he'd never seen, places where he wasn't allowed. In his own special place he knew every stone, every leaf, every rill and hollow. He knew the best fishing spots, the best trees for climbing, and the best grassy slopes to roll down. He was too big to climb trees and roll down hills, Miss Abigail said. He was grown up and had to act like an adult. But in his private place he could do anything he wanted, and nobody could scold him or tell him he was behaving like a child.
Best of all, he could go there in his mind while his body was scrubbing floors or washing windows or sweeping halls.
He reached the end of the hall, swept the pile of dirt into his dustpan, and carried it outside to dump under a tree. Wiping his dirty hands on his trousers, he came back in and headed down the hall toward Miss Abigail's office.
He passed Old Miss Dorey's room and heard her giving a geography lesson. The children began reciting in unison Arucadi's provinces, their capitals, and their patron gods. "North Woods Province, capital Dabney, patron god Nisil," they chanted. "Port Province, capital Port-of-Lords, patron god Ondin. Wide Sands Province, capital Marquez, patron god Arene." He wanted to linger and chant along with them, to show that he'd learned all twelve provinces, their capitals, and their patron gods. But it wouldn't do to keep Miss Abigail waiting.
He knocked on her office door until he heard her call, "Come in," then entered and stood in front of her desk, hands hanging at his sides.
Miss Abigail was writing a letter, her loops and lines and curls marching neatly across the unlined paper like well-trained schoolgirls. She finished a line, put a precise period at its end, and looked up. "For goodness sakes, Edwin, straighten your shoulders and look up at me. Do you think I summoned you here to chastise you?"
Miss Abigail often used big words he didn't understand, but at least she never talked down to him. He wasn't sure what answer he was expected to give, so he shifted from foot to foot and said nothing.
She sighed. "You have no need to be frightened, Edwin. I'm not angry with you. You learn by listening to the lessons the teachers present. I'm pleased that you want to learn, and as long as you do not shirk your tasks, I shall not reprimand you. However, you waste your time when you listen to fantasy tales. You will learn nothing from them, and they may do you harm. Do you understand?"
He nodded, though he didn't see how Miss Leah's stories could harm him, and he did learn from them. But he didn't dare to say so to Miss Abigail. He would just have to be more careful about listening in at story time.
"Now, Edwin, I called you here because I want you to run an errand for me." She blew on the paper she had written to dry the ink, and then folded the letter in half. "I want you to take this note to Councilor Hardwick. He should be in his office in the town hall. Hand it directly to him." She held out the note.
He did not take it. Instead, he shuffled his feet, lowered his gaze again, and said, "Councilor Hardwick doesn't like me, Miss Abigail. He won't let me in."
"Nonsense. You are going to him as my representative. If he objects, you may tell him that. In a courteous manner, of course. This message is important, and the councilor must see it today. Some of the girls are spreading rumors that the charlatans who have caused so much trouble in North Woods Province are coming here. As council master, Councilor Hardwick must be informed. There may be no truth to the rumors, but we must be on the alert. If they do come, the council must send them away before they can perform their magic tricks and confuse our people as they have confused the people of North Woods."
Ed understood very little of what she said. He understood "magic tricks" and he'd heard stories travelers told about two women wonder workers in North Woods Province. His head snapped up and he couldn't hold in his excitement. "Coming here?" he asked. "The wonder workers are coming to Carey?"
"So Lucinda Mason heard from her aunt, who's just come back from a trip to Dabney in North Woods. But you needn't get excited about it. There are no true wonder workers, Edwin, only tricksters who prey upon the public." She took a cloth from her desk drawer and cleaned the point of the pen she'd used to write her letter.
"If they pray, how can they be bad?" Ed asked, scratching his head.
"Keep your fingers out of your hair, Edwin," Miss Abigail said, vigorously polishing her pen nub. "I mean that they cheat the public. People pay them money to see their feats of supposed magic, but what they see are only clever tricks, sleight of hand, well-designed illusions."
Ed clasped his hands behind his back to keep from raising them to his head and running them through his hair. Miss Abigail hated to see him do that. "Some women at the greengrocer's said the wonder workers can catch light in their hands. They can fly through the air on the wind."
"That's nonsense, Edwin. No one can do such things. Don't be so gullible."

101st Airborne Division Soldier Dies After Live-Fire Exercise
Wednesday, April 18th 2007, 11:38 am
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) _ A soldier with the 101st Airborne Division was killed during a nighttime live-fire exercise at Fort Campbell early Wednesday, the Army said.
The soldier was hit by small arms fire and taken to Blanchfield Army Community Hospital, where he died of his wounds around 4 a.m., Fort Campbell said.
The soldier's name was not immediately released. He was assigned to the 1st Brigade Combat Team at the sprawling Army post on the Kentucky-Tennessee border.
Nighttime drills with live ammunition give soldiers better familiarity with their weapons in dark conditions, said Kelly Tyler, a spokeswoman at the Army post.
``They're called to go on patrols at all hours, so they need to be familiar with their equipment and operating in low-light situations,'' she said. Soldiers performing the drills are required to wear Kevlar vests and helmets, Tyler said.
She didn't know what kinds of weapons injured the soldier or the circumstances.
The death is under investigation by military officials.

PUBLISHED: August 6, 2014 at 11:06 a.m. | UPDATED: August 19, 2021 at 2:37 a.m.
TOKYO (AP) – Japan marked the 69th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima on Wednesday, with the city's mayor inviting world leaders to see atomic bomb-scarred cities firsthand to be convinced that nuclear weapons should not exist.
Speaking before a crowd of survivors, their descendants and dignitaries including U.S. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy, the mayor urged U.S. President Barack Obama and others to visit, referring to a proposal made at a ministerial meeting in April of the Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Initiative in Hiroshima
"President Obama and all leaders of nuclear-armed nations, please respond to that call by visiting the A-bombed cities as soon as possible to see what happened with your own eyes," Mayor Kazumi Matsui said. "If you do, you will be convinced that nuclear weapons are an absolute evil that must no longer be allowed to exist."
About 45,000 people stood for a minute of silence at the ceremony in Hiroshima's peace park near the epicenter of the 1945 bombing that killed up to 140,000 people. The bombing of Nagasaki three days later killed another 70,000, prompting Japan's surrender in World War II.
The number of surviving victims, known as "hibakusha," was just more than 190,000 this year. Their average age is 79, and many of the attendants at the ceremony were their younger relatives and descendants. Hiroshima officials said 5,507 survivors died over the past year.
The anniversary comes as Japan is divided over Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's recent Cabinet decision to allow the country's military to defend foreign countries and play greater roles overseas. To achieve the goal, Abe's Cabinet revised its interpretation of Japan's post-WWII pacifist constitution.
Abe said at the event that as the sole country to suffer nuclear attacks, Japan has the duty to seek to eliminate nuclear weapons. But he did not mention his push for a more assertive defense posture.
Public polls show more than half of the Japanese are opposed to the decision, mainly because of sensitivity over Japan's wartime past.
Matsui did not directly refer to Abe's recent change. But he said the pacifist constitution is what has kept Japan out of war for 69 years.

Your body has trillions of cells, and each one has the complexity and dynamism of a city. Your life, your thoughts, your diseases, and your health are all the function of cells. But what do you really know about what goes on inside you? The last time most people thought about cells in any detail was probably in high school or a college general biology class. But the field of cell biology has advanced incredibly rapidly in recent decades, and a great deal of what we may have learned in high school and college is no longer accurate or particularly relevant. The Cell: Inside the Microscopic World that Determines Our Health, Our Consciousness, and Our Future is a fascinating story of the incredible complexity and dynamism inside the cell and of the fantastic advancements in our understanding of this microscopic world. Using the latest scientific research, The Cell illustrates the diversity of cell biology and what it all means for your everyday life.

A escrita Meetei Mayek (Meithei Mayek, Meitei Mayek ou  Manipuri script - iso15924=Mtei) é um Abugida que foi usado pela Língua manipuri ou Meitei, uma das 22 línguas oficiais da Índia e especificamente uma das línguas oficiais de Manipur. O Manipuri utilizou essa escrita até o , quando foi substituída pela escrita Bengali. Alguns poucos manuscritos nessa antiga escrita sobrevivem e no século passado houve movimentos de renascimento desse abugida.

Características
Meetei Mayek é uma Escrita brami cuja história é incerta. Como a língua Meitei (Manipuri)não apresenta consoantes sonoras, há apenas 15  consoantes usadas em palavras nativas e mais três para vogais puras. Há ainda mais nove consoantes para palavras de origem estrangeira. São sete os diacríticos para indicar vogais e um diacrítico para a consoante final  (). Cada letra tem seu nome com base em uma parte do corpo humano.

Apache CarbonData 1.4.0 Release - CarbonData - Apache Software Foundation for your Wiki!
Apache CarbonData community is pleased to announce the release of the Version 1.4.0 in The Apache Software Foundation (ASF).
CarbonData is a high-performance data solution that supports various data analytic scenarios, including BI analysis, ad-hoc SQL query, fast filter lookups on detail record, streaming analytics, etc. CarbonData has been deployed in many enterprise production environments, in one of the largest scenario it supports queries on single table with 3PB data (more than 5 trillion records) with response time less than 3 seconds!
We encourage you to use the release https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/carbondata/1.4.0/, and feedback through the CarbonData user mailing lists!
What's New in Version 1.4.0?
In this version of CarbonData, more than 230 JIRA tickets for new feature, improvement and bugs has been resolved. Following are the summary.
Data loading performance has been improved dramatically due to various enhancements, including sorting temp file improvement, sort boundary mechanism, direct write without data move, and others. In one of the production environment, we have observed as much as 300% improvement comparing to last version.
By employing data prefetching and various improvement in vectorized reader during compaction, compaction operation on CarbonData table is improved up to 500% compare to last version. In one of the production environment, application can support 5 minutes data loading (100s of GB) while maintaining second level query performance by automatic compaction for every 30 and 60 minutes (configured with "carbon.compaction.level.threshold" set to "6,2") to reduce number of segments.
A new syntax 'DEFERRED REBUILD' is introduced in CREATE DATAMAP statement, this enables user choose DataMap management mechanism (automatic or manual) when creating the DataMap. When 'DEFERRED REBUILD' is specified, DataMap is by default disabled, and data loading to main table will not trigger loading to DataMap until user performs REBUILD DATAMAP.
Now you can create external table by specifying storage location of Carbon data files. Carbon External Table usage is the same as Hive External Table.
You can specify Cloud Storage as external table location, such as storing in AWS S3, HuaweiCloud OBS, etc.
Provided Carbon SDK to write and read CarbonData files through Java API without Hadoop and Spark dependency, user can use this SDK in standalone Java application to convert existing data into CarbonData files. It supports write to local disk or cloud storage, from following formats.
CSV data, schema specified by user.
JSON data, schema defined by Avro.
Now you can create pre-aggregate table on streaming tables. While CarbonData's streaming ingest feature reduces the time for data availability, now you can enjoy query performance improvement also by leveraging Pre-Aggregate Table. After creating Pre-Aggregate Table by using 'preaggregate' DataMap, the data conversion in streaming table will include automatic aggregation. Queries on this table will be rewritten into two parts, one part on the streaming data and another part on the pre-aggregated data. Since the pre-aggregated data is much less than original data, the query will be much faster.
If you create a Pre-Aggregate Table ('preaggregate' DataMap) on a partitioned main table, the Pre-Aggregate Table is also partitioned based on the same column. Since the partition is aligned, when you perform data management operation like create/drop/overwrite on the main table, the same operation will be done automatically on the aggregate table, keeping both in sync.
Materialized View is integrated as a DataMap in CarbonData. Comparing to "preaggregate" DataMap introduced in version 1.3.0, it covers more scenario for OLAP application. Currently, it supports SPJGH-like table (select-predicate-join-groupby-having) and user can follow existing DataMap statement (similar to CTAS statement) to create, drop, show them. While querying, system finds good MVs based on cost for query rewrite to improve query performance. As an initial release of this feature, while we encourage user to try and test, it still has some limitation and will be improved in coming release.
In order to improve concurrent filter query performance, CarbonData supports a "Search Mode" to do query scheduling and query execution without using Spark Scheduler and Executor. In one of our test, it can achieve half latency comparing to using Spark for filter query on indexed column, from 1 second to 500 milliseconds.
Improved EXPLAIN command output to show: whether the query is rewritten to use Pre-Aggregate Table or Materialized View, which index DataMap is hit, and how many blocklets are pruned.
Support compaction and loading in parallel.
[CARBONDATA-1522] - 6. Loading aggregation tables for streaming data tables.
