One study recognized a dose of up to three grams per day as generally safe ( 4). If you’re considering a taurine supplement, rest assured it has a long track record of safety. Some research even pegs taurine as the unsung hero of the extreme longevity of Okinawa-a blue zone region in Japan home to some of the longest lifespans in the world ( 3).

![]() The ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Mayans celebrated the resurrections of their gods during the spring equinox. “Every culture has some sort of story around the vernal equinox,” he said. Mike Dittman, a professor of English at Butler Count Community College and an amateur folklorist, said that for many cultures, the arrival of the new season was the renewal of life itself, the triumph of light over darkness. In this case, the observance of Easter can occur between April 4 and May 8, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. Many Eastern Orthodox churches follow the Julian calendar rather than the Gregorian. Over a 500-year period (from 1600 to 2099 AD), it just so happens that Easter will have most often been celebrated on either March 31 or April 16. However, it is always on a Sunday between March 22 and April 25. (Eastern Orthodox Easter will take place Sunday, April 24.)Įaster this year is just one day after April’s full moon (April 16), which is the first full moon to occur after the vernal equinox and is therefore known in the Christian calendar as the “Paschal Full Moon“ and it determines the date of Easter.Įaster is a “movable feast” and does not have a fixed date. Other cultures see a more spiritual aspect to the sun’s course across the sky.įor instance, the vernal equinox is used to determine the date of Easter every year.Īccording to the editors at the Old Farmer’s Almanac, this year Easter will be observed on Sunday, April 17. That’s the scientific reason behind noting the vernal equinox. While there is a gradual warming trend this month, Hendricks warned there can also be snowstorms as well, citing the winter blast of March 1993. Temperature highs and lows for this time of year, Hendricks said, are 51 and 31 degrees. The equinox really has no effect on the weather. “That’s really the official time when spring arrives meteorologically speaking.” “It’s the gradual lifting of the sun into the sky in the Northern Hemisphere,” he said. Lee Hendricks, a meteorologist with the Pittsburgh office of the National Weather Service, said of the vernal equinox: “It’s just really showing when the sun is more high in the sky in the Northern Hemisphere. “This is noticeable if you are driving along an east-west road, the rising sun hits your eye if you are driving east in the early morning,” he said. Dawn and dusk merge.Īccording to Mukherjee, on the first day of spring and fall, the sun rises precisely in the east and sets in the west. For a visitor to the North Pole, this would mean observing the sun skirting the horizon throughout the entire day on vernal equinox. ![]() However, Mukherjee said, during the equinox, the noon time height of the sun above the horizon is equal to ninety degrees minus your latitude. The sun starts to climb higher after the winter solstice and this continues until summer solstice when the noon time sun reaches its maximum height. Without a tilt, the day and night would be equal length throughout the year and we would have one season, according to Mukherjee. On those two days, the length of day and night are equal. On this day, the Northern Hemisphere is transitioning from tipping away from the sun to towards it.Ī planet’s axial tilt makes the vernal and autumnal equinox special. From now until late June the sun will climb higher in the sky until the days reach their maximum length.Īccording to Krishna Mukherjee, assistant professor in the department of physics and engineering at Slippery Rock University, the word vernal originates from Latin meaning spring, and equinox means equal night. For the first time since September, the sun is entering the northern half of the celestial sphere. Seb Foltz/Butler EagleĮven though last weekend’s snow storm may not exactly seem like a herald of spring, nothing can stop the season from arriving astronomically speaking. Seeds on the shelf at Oesterling's Lawn & Garden store in Butler stand ready for spring planting season, a season marked by the vernal equinox which arrives Sunday.

Using LZO Compression wiki page for how to make LZO work with HBase.Ī common problem users run into when using LZO is that while initial setup of the cluster runs smooth, a month goes by and some sysadmin goes to add a machine to the cluster only they'll have forgotten to do the LZO fixup on the new machine. Therefore LZO install is to be done post-HBase install. Unfortunately, HBase cannot ship with LZO because of the licensing issues HBase is Apache-licensed, LZO is GPL. No matter what codec you use, be sure to test that it is installed correctly and is available on all nodes in your cluster. This articles discusses common codecs that are used and tested with HBase. Some codecs are licensed in ways that conflict with HBase's license and cannot be shipped as part of HBase. Other codecs, such as Google Snappy, need to be installed first. In this case, HBase only needs access to the appropriate shared library. Native libraries may be available as part of Hadoop, such as LZ4. Some codecs take advantage of capabilities built into Java, such as GZip compression. If you change compression or encoding for a ColumnFamily, the changes take effect during compaction. Compressors reduce the size of large, opaque byte arrays in cells, and can significantly reduce the storage space needed to store uncompressed data.Ĭompressors and data block encoding can be used together on the same ColumnFamily.Ĭhanges Take Effect Upon Compaction. Data block encoding attempts to limit duplication of information in keys, taking advantage of some of the fundamental designs and patterns of HBase, such as sorted row keys and the schema of a given table. Install snzip: If you don’t already have snzip installed on your system, you can install it using your system’s package manager.HBase supports several different compression algorithms which can be enabled on a ColumnFamily.Here are the steps to decompress a Snappy-compressed reduce output file using snzip: One such tool is snzip, which is a command-line utility for Snappy compression/decompression. To decompress a Snappy-compressed reduce output file, you need to use a command-line tool that supports the Snappy compression format. How to Decompress Snappy-Compressed Reduce Output Files When a reduce output file is compressed with Snappy, its file extension is typically. The output files generated by the reduce phase can be compressed using various compression algorithms, including Snappy. ![]() ![]() In this phase, the intermediate key-value pairs generated by the map phase are aggregated and reduced to a smaller set of key-value pairs that are written to output files. In Hadoop, the reduce phase is the second phase of a MapReduce job. Snappy is also designed to work well with various data formats, including text, binary, and multimedia data. Snappy achieves high compression/decompression speeds by using a simple and efficient algorithm that is optimized for modern CPUs. Snappy is widely used in various big data processing frameworks, including Hadoop, because of its speed and low memory usage. It was created by Google and released under the Apache license. Snappy is a compression/decompression library that is designed for speed and efficiency. We assume that you have a basic understanding of Hadoop and its ecosystem, as well as some familiarity with the Linux command line interface. In this article, we will explain how to decompress Hadoop reduce output files ending with Snappy. However, to work with these compressed files, you need to know how to decompress them. Snappy is a fast, open-source, and widely-used compression library that is supported by Hadoop and other big data processing frameworks.

With the establishment of the Sinestro Corps, those who are given membership in the organization are given a Yellow Lantern Power Ring and Qwardian Power Battery, which is connected to the Qwardian Central Power Battery on Qward. Having been working on a weapon similar to the power rings for several millennia, the weaponer and the rest of the Weaponers of Qward developed the Yellow Lantern Power Ring, designed to project yellow Energy and take advantage of the Green Lanterns weakness. OnQward, Sinestro met the weaponer and the weaponers of Qward, and told them of the yellow impurity, how the Green Lantern Power Rings could not affect anything colored Yellow. But his new, re-designed solution would still be perfectly capable of granting his "return" - and entire army of yellow Lanterns.When the Guardians of the Universe discovered that Sinestro, the Green Lantern of Space Sector 1417, had used his Green Lantern Power Ring to take control of his home world of Korugar, the Guardians of the Universe expelled Sinestro from the Green Lantern Corps and banished him to the planet Qward in the Anti-Matter Universe. A development which vexed the Guardian in secret, revealing his hope that all of his mistakes would be erased from the galaxy. ![]() ![]() Hal and the Lanterns found a better way, of course, and set about creating a new corps. According to the Guardian, only the total obliteration of Oa - along with thousands of innocents, the Manhunters, and the Green Lanterns - was the answer. As the last surviving Guardian of the Universe informs Hal (from the safety of another dimension), the Manhunters ended up wiping out the Corps and the rest of the Guardians. Only in this version of the story, the Green Lantern were created first. For those who missed the first installment of Green Lantern: Earth One, the story relied on Hal Jordan returning to the planet Oa a slave, witnessing how the birthplace of the Green Lanterns had been invaded, dominated, and contained by the Manhunters. The plot synopsis has been carefully constructed to keep fans' questions unanswered, for now. When fellow Earthling John Stewart ends up with a yellow ring, he and Hal must work together to confront the being who destroyed the original Green Lantern Corps-the last surviving Guardian. While they seem a benign force for peace, Jordan can't get comfortable with how much power they wield, or their bizarre, lockstep behavior. Especially when an interplanetary incident forces their protector, Hal Jordan, to leave on a rescue mission that results in the discovery that there's a new player in the galaxy: Yellow Lanterns!
