Extremely harsh conditions can be found even in shallow marine waters
A common cause for this is the presence of hydrothermal systems where dissolved materials from the Earth’s interior make their way to the surface
These systems are usually the only energy source in the deep sea because photosynthesis is not possible in the dark depths
near the volcanic island of Kueishantao in eastern Taiwan
The island is surrounded by hydrothermal vents in shallow water
Hot and acidic water rises to the surface here and alters the sea-water chemistry
“These chimneys release super-heated
highly acidic water into the overlying water columns
One might think that such an extreme location is lifeless
but it is actually full of life because at the same time the vents are constantly producing chemical energy in the form of reduced chemical compounds,” says Joely Maak
first author of the study and a PhD student at MARUM
One of the predominant organisms at these hydrothermal systems is a microorganism called Campylobacteria
is the reductive tricarboxylic acid (rTCA) cycle
This cycle is a biochemical pathway for transferring carbon into organic molecules and biomass
Compared to the more widely utilized Calvin cycle
organisms using rTCA do not have to go through as many energy-intensive steps
That is the secret weapon that makes it possible for them to predominate in this extreme environment
“The analysis of isotope ratios has enabled us to track the carbon fixed using this 'secret weapon' even into the crab that lives there - a transfer that could not be detected in this way before,” explains Dr
The study is an integral element of research within the current Cluster “The Ocean Floor – Earth’s Uncharted Interface”
The main objective here is to gain a better understanding of ocean-floor ecosystems under changing environmental conditions and material cycles
MARUM produces fundamental scientific knowledge about the role of the ocean and the seafloor in the total Earth system
The dynamics of the oceans and the seabed significantly impact the entire Earth system through the interaction of geological
These influence both the climate and the global carbon cycle
resulting in the creation of unique biological systems
MARUM is committed to fundamental and unbiased research in the interests of society
and in accordance with the sustainability goals of the United Nations
It publishes its quality-assured scientific data to make it publicly available
MARUM informs the public about new discoveries in the marine environment and provides practical knowledge through its dialogue with society

Electrochemistry relies on charge transfer
which can occur on time scales from femtoseconds to seconds or longer
Traditional electrochemical detection methods are limited in their ability to study ultrafast processes such as solvent reorganization and electron tunneling (Fig
This presentation focuses on the advancements and challenges in ultrafast electrochemistry
specifically exploring processes occurring on timescales shorter than the RC time constant
Traditional electrochemical processes have typically been studied over longer timescales
often constrained by limitations in mass diffusion and hardware capabilities
recent developments in ultrafast laser technology and femtochemistry have enabled the observation of rapid processes with femto /pico second time resolution at electrochemical interfaces
such as ultrafast potential relaxation in electric double layers and the dynamics of solvated electrons
The advancement and enhancement of sustainability-focused systems
renewable energy conversion and storage devices
requires a molecular level comprehension of solid/liquid interfaces
At the interface of a charged metal with an electrolyte
and ions form an electric double layer (EDL)
the role of anion adsortipn on electrosynthesis
To this end classical competitive adsorbption stuidies at rotating disc electrodes are complemented by differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) and surface enhanced IR spectroscopy (SEIRAS)
This reveals the impact of redox-inactive anions and moelculare backbones on the selective electrocatalytic oxidation of aldehydes on gold surfaces
a class of reactions that will be crucial for the production of former “petro” chemicals from a renewable feedstock [3]
Ambrym volcanic activity is continuing in the major unrest state
Ambrym Volcanic Alert Level remains at Level 2
Major volcanic unrest continues at Ambrym volcano and confined inside Benbow and Marum craters
New field observations and data analysis confirmed that Ambrym volcanic activity conditions at this major unrest state remain unstable
This activity is likely to continue at similar level
The danger zone for life safety remain at 1 km radius from Benbow crater and 2 km radius from Marum crater and major cracked of 2018 eruption at the south eastern part of Ambrym
Recent field observation photos via webcam showed ongoing small steam cloud emission (fumarole) from both craters
Analysis of seismic data confirmed the ongoing major volcanic unrest activity on Ambrym
volcanic hazards remain inside Benbow crater
areas around Marum crater and areas of major cracks of 2018 eruption at the South East of Ambrym
Ambrym volcanic alert level remain at Level 2 since 17th January 2024
Observations of the current activity are consistent with the Volcanic Alert Level 2
The danger zone is at the Exclusion Zone which is about 1 km radius from Benbow crater and the Danger Zone A which is about 2 km radius from Marum crater with major cracked areas at the south eastern part of Ambrym”
it is a useful reminder that eruptions can occur with little or no warnings

Anthology films have been a thing of the past in Tamil cinema but here comes another in the form of Niram Maarum Ulagil – a film that brings together four stories on motherly relationships which all go through different forms of struggle
tear leaders as the film is an emotional rollercoaster aimed to making you cry) – Natty has a situation where he is trying to make amends to his past
Rio’s story is about him funding cancer treatment for his mother
There’s also Bharathiraja’s story which is emotionally the highest peak point
as he plays the father ill treated by his sons
The final story which could be the best of the lot
is about Sandy playing an auto driver who runs into a unique character
All the four stories in the film show promise and are interestingly written
but the way in which they are executed onscreen makes it too melodramatic than the subtle emotions that are needed for such kind of a film
It is clearly evident that the makers wanted to keep the focus on the film being a proper tear jerker
There’s also the problem of Niram Maarum Ulagil being overlong
and that also works against the film with all the stories being only thick enough to be narrated in a span of under 30 minutes
Niram Maarum Ulagil ultimately turns out to be an over emotional film that keeps the ball rolling with its storylines hailing parenthood
Verdict: A passable yet noble set of stories on parenthood and aging

scientists have assumed that there are oceans of water beneath the ice covers on the moons Enceladus and Europa
the presence of water can suggest the possibility of life
even when it is located beneath an ice layer
The investigation of such water bodies lying kilometers below an ice sheet on the Earth
How can high-technology tools penetrate the thick ice crust
and how can the exploration of the underlying ocean be carried out under the extreme environmental conditions that exist there
What kinds of scientific sensors are necessary in the search for signs of life there
How can all this be achieved without contaminating an ecosystem as yet unknown
The collaborative project TRIPLE-nanoAUV 2
primarily exists to address the technological challenges
The acronym TRIPLE stands for “Technologies for Rapid Ice Penetration and subglacial Lake Exploration.” Along with the TRIPLE collaborative projects TRIPLE-GNC and TRIPLE-LifeDetect
the project is part of the DLR Explorer initiatives
Developments in the TRIPLE projects will be combined in Phase 2 and tested jointly during a field trial under the Antarctic ice shelf near the Neumayer III Station in the spring of 2026
a small Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) as well as an LRS (Launch and Recovery System) will be constructed at MARUM in cooperation with industrial partners from the aerospace and underwater-acoustic fields
as well as from the other related TRIPLE projects
The LRS will enable the nanoAUV to dock with an underwater station in order to transmit the collected data and charge its batteries
which will allow it to stay under water longer
Because the vehicle has to be transported through the ice as payload within a melting probe
it will be much smaller than is usual for underwater vehicles
with a diameter of about ten and a length of about 50 centimeters
It is believed that there are unknown ecosystems in the subglacial lakes beneath the continental ice of Antarctica
which is covered by up to 4,000 meters of ice
“Such nano-vehicles can help to provide a better overall understanding of marine ecosystems,” says project leader Prof
Ralf Bachmayer of MARUM – Center for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen
“The new autonomous system is unique and should make it possible in the future to study the global liquid-water ocean below the icy surfaces of Jupiter’s moon Europa and Saturn’s moon Enceladus
Miniaturization is the primary challenge in its development
all of the components must be able to withstand the high pressure under water.”
“The objective is to garner expertise within the DLR Explorer initiatives that could be used in a possible international space mission,” explains leading engineer Sebastian Meckel
“The first field tests will deploy the melting probe with the nanoAUV integrated as payload in ice with a thickness of 100 meters
the nanoAUV is underactuated compared to larger autonomous vehicles
This necessitates an extremely high reliability and close coordination among the associates from TRIPLE-GNC and TRIPLE-LifeDetect."
The project is a follow-up to the collaborative projects TRIPLE-nanoAUV1 and TRIPLE-MoDo
and expands on development concepts for the autonomous vehicle and a docking station
which will penetrate the ice cover at Neumayer III and deliver the nanoAUV into the underlying water
the navigation software and scientific payload for the autonomous vehicle
in which MARUM was also significantly involved
This is the first time that space and deep-sea research have been combined and robotic systems developed for extreme environments
MARUM and the University of Bremen are coordinating the current project
with company partners DSI Aerospace Technologie GmbH in Bremen and EvoLogics GmbH in Berlin
The project has a total funding volume of 2.68 million Euros and runs through September 2026
The overall coordination of the TRIPLE project line is being carried out by the German Space Agency at DLR
parts of the second phase include the parallel projects TRIPLE-GNC (Guidance
and TRIPLE-FRS 2 (Forefield Reconnaissance System
for implementation in the melting head of the ice-melting probe)
The TRIPLE project line is a division of the DLR Explorer Initiatives

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Nicole Sinkule's parents are making a plea to California Governor Gavin Newsom to keep their daughter's killer behind bars
Sinkule's murderer was approved for parole after serving 16 years for her death
Marum told a parole board that he is remorseful and ashamed of the killing
blaming the gruesome crime on drug and alcohol addiction
"I have panic attacks all the time," Claudia said
"I had a broken heart that gave me a heart attack," Glenn said
"He murdered her in her sleep with a claw part of the hammer
He hit her 13 times and left the hammer in her head," Claudia said
Marum was sentenced to 16 years to life in prison in exchange for his guilty plea to second-degree murder
The Sinkules said their only hope of keeping Marum in prison is to appeal to Governor Gavin Newsom
The parole board's recommendation now sits on his desk
and he has the power to keep Marum in prison or release him to the public
They have collected over 5,000 signatures on a petition that asks to keep Marum in prison
They will also meet with the Governor's staff in mid-January to plead with them not to release Marum
The Sinkules started a Foundation in their daughter's name to help women and strengthen laws they say failed their daughter
Eileen Marum studied public policy and has already made her mark on Marion by drafting its marijuana bylaw
she is running for a third term on the Planning Board to continue that work
communication skills and issue analysis using her scientific background make her a good candidate for the board
and got her degree in her 50s from Smith College
“I will read research papers if there is a topic I don’t understand.”
as it “responds directly to public input.”
she believes Marion needs low-impact condo options with space for social
She thinks the town should consider converting large homes in the Village to several apartments for good access to amenities
and hire a handyman to perform minor repairs for seniors
She would like to see work begin on a usable cluster bylaw
Maurm proposed a solar installation on the landfill
a project which was just approved in late March
Her priorities for development include avoiding wetland areas and not putting stress on the sewer or school system
She was in favor of a solar array that had been proposed for 78 Wareham Road
Marum previously lived in Mattapoisett and moved to Marion in 2010
She has a daughter and three grandchildren in Connecticut
she helps out with the Sippican Lands Trust or Marion Natural History Museum
She walks outside every day that it isn’t snowing or raining

Fionn Marum is a 24 year old singer/songwriter from Portlaoise
He has been writing and performing original music since 2017 and has played shows alongside Dick Valentine (Electric Six)
Christy Dignam and most recently the ever-wonderful Daniel O’Donnell in June of 2023
Up To Fate is the fifth single from Fionn Marum
It is a rock number that had been lying around on the cutting room floor for a few years before he performed it with his band the Francis Street Wranglers in Dublin for a college performance
It’s a song steadfastly rooted in the mid-nineties British style
brash guitars and vocals that tell a sad yet hopeful tale
The song is about having feelings for someone
while also feeling like you’re worth less than them
before the chorus tells you to forget all of that
and leave it up to fate to decide whether it will work out or not
with Fionn playing every instrument on the track
and he recorded it in his home studio in Portlaoise
Up To Fate releases on all major streaming platforms on June 25th
Hydrogen is a ubiquitous component of our environment
A hydrogen atom is a proton and an electron
so the thermochemistry of H transfer and coupled 1H+/1e– transfer (PCET) are the same (± a constant)
The electrochemical potential of the Volmer reaction (eEVolmer) is thus equivalent to the surface–H bond dissociation free energy (BDFE; top image below)
Using both electrochemical and equilibration methods
our laboratory has extended these long-known principles to oxide and other interfaces
colloidal IrO2 and CeO2-x nanoparticles (schematic below)
These measurements show that most materials do not have a single surface–H BDFE but rather a range of values
vary from a few tenths of an eV to > 0.5 eV
By poising the material at different redox levels
rate constants for simple reactions have been measured for surface–H bonds in different portions of the distribution
these k’s vary substantially with coverage
different materials have different values of the Brønsted α (equivalent to the electrochemical symmetry factor β)
While the origins of the variations are not yet understood
it is clear that non-idealities and surface coverages are important to catalysis and other processes
The frequent assumptions of ideal behavior of adsorbates (Langmuir isotherms) and α or β ≅ 0.5 can be poor approximations of the real system
especially for nanoscale and/or binary materials

Logan Marum had trail camera photos of a big deer in 2022
he believed the deer was now 5 1/2 years old
He and his father even had some photos of the deer back when it was just 3 1/2 years old
The hunt for the deer they called “Oscar” was now on
started Buffalo County Outfitters when Logan was young
“It’s been a privilege to be raised in the part of the country that everyone knew as the mecca of deer hunting
but also to be raised by one of the best to ever guide,” Logan says
The big deer Logan was after summered on the property
an early October cold front pushed the deer to return and daylight
“We have a handful of farms leased in southern Iowa that we manage and run trail cameras on; these are for when we or our friends tags for Iowa,” Logan says
“This particular piece has continuously had the best genetics of anywhere we have permission or leased down there
As long as our food plots take off and the deer have access to a good food source
we’re confident we can harvest a couple of mature
His stand location was perched up above three draws that meet at an old cattle gate
Deer funnel through it traveling to and from some oak flats
the owner’s son and a couple friends rode their horses up to me,” Logan says
“They weren’t aware I was hunting at the time
as I had accessed from the other side of the farm
After they saw me they apologized and turned around
I settled in and realized the wind was switching to east
which is the opposite of what I wanted.”
It was clear the moderate drop in temperatures urged deer to feed
Then a yearling buck and two more does entered the field
“She blew and stomped repeatedly,” Logan says
“I eventually turned to my east and faced the CRP
thinking it was the only place I might see a deer
I turned my head around and he was walking directly at me 55 yards away and closing through the green plot.”
The buck headed for the open gate and a few scrapes beyond it
heard the pop and he took off down into the closest draw,” Logan says
“Once he got down into the woods he stopped
I thought I had heard a crash but wasn’t 100 percent sure
I left my stuff in the tree and decided to wait until the morning to go look for him.”
The next morning Logan and several friends headed back into the woods to find the deer
it was clear the deer was bigger than they had thought
What they thought was a high 170s deer ended up scoring 185 7/8 inches gross
but the time spent preparing for the season together
the jokes that were made and the recovering of the deer is what I’ll remember every time I look at him,” Logan says
“This deer goes way further than a score sheet or shoulder mount
I’m so grateful to have the friends I do
the family I do and the connections I’ve made in deer hunting
This deer is really the pinnacle of those things
hard work and enjoying the process of deer hunting all combined
I’m the man that I am today because of deer hunting
I’ve learned important life lessons while hunting and I’ve made and strengthened friendships through deer hunting
it’s a passion that I have the chance to share with my dad year in and year out
and I will forever be grateful for these experiences with him.”

Creating an avenue for the youths to be engaged in
to slowly minimise the lawlessness in East New Britain is one of the vibrant Provincial Member’s initiatives
Governor Michael Marum revealed this during the presentation of about thirteen cheques to various sports associations at the newly built Rabaul Gelegele Sports Association (RGSA) on Wednesday
Governor Marum emphasised that sports need to be supported as well
as it is an avenue to lure youths into positive activities apart from those engaged in church-organized activities
he urged other associations that to be supported
there are requirements set to be eligible for such assistance and associations must be properly certified for accountability of the public funds
“Associations must have a yearly calendar to be able to properly use the funds received for its intended purpose,” Marum emphasised
Each of the thirteen associations from various sporting codes received a cheque of K10,000 whilst the Rabaul Rugby Football League received K20
000 with a balance of K10,000 carried forward from last year’s assistance
These other associations which also received financial support from the Governor’s Office are ENB Netball Association
Rabaul Volleyball Association and Kokopo City Rugby League Association
ENB Sports Development Authority Chairman Paul Morgan outlined the
need for a database for sporting associations in the province to be able to access for the development of sports as a way forward
Morgan commended the tireless efforts and commitment of Governor Marum and the financial support to sports in the province
Morgan said it is also a way to curb law and order issues amongst youths and create positive attitudes and mindsets
FOR many sports associations in East New Britain
keeping their competition up and running continues to be an uphill battle
and the constant challenge of reviving interest
most have been operating on sheer determination
their fight for survival got a little easier
This is because the East New Britain provincial member and avid sportsman Michael Marum
through the provincial sports office headed by Benjamin Hekahu
have stepped in to provide a K40,000 boost
This ensuring that local sports in the province does not fade away
Among the recipients were the Gazelle Basketball Association
and the East New Britain Athletics Association – each receiving K10,000
For coaches like George Moramoro (ENB Athletics vice-president)
who gives a lot of personal time to revive and support sports in the province
“This support gives us hope an it tells us that our efforts have not gone unnoticed
“We really appreciate the provincial member and his office for this timely initiative to supporting us,” he added
While rugby league has been a dominant sport in East New Britain
Marum made it clear that his office is committed to supporting all sporting codes
“We are stepping in because district sports associations are struggling,” Marum said
the districts should be supporting their own sports
“We will continue to support sports that cover the entire province
Marum also urged all sports associations to register with the Investment Promotion Authority (IPA)
to make it easier for them to attract sponsors.
Marum further called on the Rabaul district to bring back basketball and rugby union under their management
while encouraging the formation of new associations and proper registration so they can receive financial assistance.

This rare, clear view of Ambrym shows the two active craters that top the volcanic island. Deep within Benbow (left) and Marum (right) craters, vents continuously release steam, sulfur dioxide, and other volcanic gases into the atmosphere, which frequently stream over the other islands in Vanuatu
along the western edge of the South Pacific
Marum also features a persistent lava lake
visible as an orange spot in the deeply-shadowed crater

DUST rose in the field at the Queen Elizabeth Park mini stadium in Rabaul on Saturday as the Moni Plus NCD Vipers went head-to-head with the ENBPG Agmark Gurias in a heart-pounding Round 17 matchup of the Digicel ExxonMobil Cup.
From the first whistle, fans were gripped by the intensity of the game, as these known rugby powerhouses fought for dominance. Every tackle and try was met with roars from the crowd, creating an electric atmosphere in the stands.
In their first appearance at the Marum Challenge, the Gurias didn’t just play—they conquered.
With the newly refurbished stadium packed with passionate supporters, the team delivered a performance that will be remembered for years to come.
This match was more than just a game; it was a tribute to former PNG Kumuls coach Michael Marum, and it lived up to his legacy with top-notch rugby league action from both teams.
The Gurias wasted no time in setting the pace. Daniel Pai powered through the Vipers’ defense four minutes into the first half to score the first try, and when Wesley Batari nailed the conversion, the Gurias were up 6-0.
Thirteen minutes later, Steven Bruno’s long pass found Dominic Anis on the wing, who dived over the line for another try.
Batari’s precision brought the score to 12-0.
Not long after, Mark Alunga joined the action, diving in from the wing with 12 minutes left in the first half. Batari’s conversion pushed the lead to 16-0.
The Vipers weren’t ready to back down. With four minutes remaining before halftime, Leon Undupai managed to break through for a try.
Despite Joel Genah’s missed conversion, the Vipers went into the break trailing 16-4.
The second half turned into a defensive battle, with neither side giving an inch for 26 minutes.
The Gurias found their breakthrough in the final 12 minutes. Mark Alunga, with a clever dummy run, charged in for another try, and Batari’s reliable boot made it 22-4.
As the clock ticked down, the Gurias added another try, with Batari once again converting to extend their lead to 28-4.
The Vipers, showing true grit, scored a final try through Patrick Morea, with Genah converting to bring the full-time score to 28-10.
The Gurias’ triumph earned them the coveted Marum Challenge trophy.
The Man of the Match medal plus K500 cash prize was also awarded to Gurias bulldozer, Steven Bruno.
Gurias dominance on the field reflected hard work and strategy, setting a high bar for future challenges. As the first Marum clash wrote t’s first chapter, it’s clear this game will become a staple in the rugby league calendar—an exciting annual tribute to one of the game’s legends.

RABAUL Gelagela Sports Association is a model for other community-based sports associations within East New Britain Province
Last Thursday during the 30th anniversary celebrations of the 1994 twin volcano celebrations at Gelagela
the association also witnessed the finals playoffs of its sporting games as well as the ribbon cutting of the spectators’ stand
The stands are also named after former Kombiu LLG presidents like Daniel Towaai
The man behind the establishment of sporting facilities which will be under the administration of the association is ENB Provincial Member
These facilities include rugby league field
Association chairman Nelson Kiene said the facilities are the brainchild of Marum
“The establishment of these facilities is out from his own initiative
He basically supervised all the works on the ground…no architecture but he was creative and deciding on what is best,” said Kiene
Proper fencing was also erected around the facilities and it took 10 weeks for the youths including the supervision of Marum to have the facilities completed
It was a struggle trying to put together the facilities
“Sometimes I switch on my vehicle light just so that the boys can complete the facilities…we even ended up completing work like 2am,” said Marum
With Gelagela and other resettlement communities trying to eradicate law and order issues
Kiene said sports is one of the factors that bring change
“We’ve already experienced some changes within the community
“Now we are really involving the youths and creates a positive environment…we can only look forward to the positive aspects and put aside negativities like law-and-order issues,” said Kiene
Kiene and Marum also took time to acknowledge sponsors like Kumul Consolidated Holdings
Rapopo Plantation Resort and Cove for assisting the association
“This is a model that we are trying to carry out throughout the province
“We can say that Gelagela is not a good place but it is only the minority that is spoiling the good image…there’s a lot of good people across the province (ENB) and country
“I appeal to youths and parents to continue disciplining the children so that what we have built
we have to take ownership and put into good use,” said Marum
FORMER PNG Hunters 2017 Queensland Rugby League premiership winning coach and current East New Britain governor
has commended the efforts of those behind the scene in successfully putting together the bid for PNG to enter NRL
“I wasn’t surprised that they would make the announcement today (yesterday).”
we’ve been working on for quite a whole through PNG RFL and I commend the team at PNG RFL
CEO Stanley Hondina for always behind PNG Hunters and now with NRL.”
he knows what to do and he has a good team behind him and hopefully in some other smaller provinces outside of Port Moresby can also see benefits and be considered.”
Marum says the result of what is to come in 2028 is the result of what work is being done at present
Back in 2014 when getting behind the bandwagon as PNG Hunters inaugural coach and mentoring the team
there were a lot of critics Marum and the team had to overcome
there will be challenges to overcome. “Of course
there will be a lot of setbacks and challenges.”
“We need to check ourselves; we have the coaching capacity…like a local can carry the team
how long will it take for us to make sure one day one of our own home-grown coach to move the team forward.”
He said there is also quite a lot to be done in terms of all the upskilling in coaching and training towards preparing the team
“I want to see some young kids of today come 2028 first game wear the jersey and play
“We did it with the PNG Hunters back in 2014 when we started
no one thought we going to win the first game in Redcliffe but come first whistle
the boys ran out with pride and play for the country.”
“Few years later we brought the Cup (QRL) from Australia back home to PNG.”
Marum insists there is more work to be done
there is a lot of work to be done…before we reach 2028
the PNG NRL Committee has to have people to work alongside them to ensure the footy team is successful.”
there needs to be more school programs for the young kids because a 13-year-old today might be a potential candidate in 2028 squad.”
He said NRL has structures in place and there needs to be focus on junior development like in the Under 14s or even Under 18s to be part of programs
“Make sure we are ready and those young kids in the rural areas get excited for such a lifetime opportunity that does not come often.”
“The other NRL pacific team is New Zealand and all the players from other countries in the Pacific will also be looking to field a team.”
