You've Heard of Belize. How About "Little Belize?"
by denidimchev@webohub.com
Little Belize is a modest settlement in the Corozal District (Northern Belize). It is sometimes also called "Progresso" due to its close proximity to that settlement. Little Belize is just one meter above sea level and 70 miles north of Belmopan (the capital of Belize).
Established in 1958, Little Belize is notable for being the second most prominent colony of the "Old Colony Mennonites" within Belize; only Shipyard, Belize, has a larger Mennonite populace. Despite being known as Russian Mennonites, these people speak a dialect of Low German known as "Plautdietsch." Anyone who is familiar with the Amish within the United States will recognize a lot of similarities in the Mennonites. These are a people who dress in attire from over a century ago and shun most forms of modern technology-the most high tech piece of equipment you will find in Little Belize might be a a smartphone, for doing business; a chainsaw, for more efficiently felling lumber for housing; or a steel-tired tractor, for working their farms. Those aforementioned farms are how most of the Mennonites make a living and interact with the rest of the country, selling and trading their eggs and dairy products in the markets of places like Progresso.
Know that when interacting with Mennonites, adults tend to be polite but a Mennonite woman is not to look any man in the eye if she is unfamiliar with him. Children, on the other hand, can be outright rude to non-Mennonites. Visiting Little Belize is a lot like visiting the sorts of Amish communities found throughout the United States. These people like to keep to themselves but are willing to engage in polite conversation and commerce. They greatly cherish their community and place a great deal of value on being good Christians and working hard. As a consequence of this, the main benefit of visiting this place is similar to dealing with Belize's Garifuna or Creole communities-a chance to observe another way of life. That being said, you might be able to pick up some incredible cheese, baked goods or woodwork.
Little Belize is one of the major communities for Belize's insular Mennonite population, allowing visitors to encounter a culture nearly out of sync with the rest of the world. If you are visiting Belize and want to experience something truly off the beaten path, why not consider checking out the community known as Little Belize?

TUNIS (AA):- At least one policeman was killed and eight others were injured in two suicide bombings that targeted police in the Tunisian capital, witnesses and a ministry said.
The witnesses told Anadolu Agency that the first suicide blast targeted a police vehicle at the crossing of France Street and the Charles de Gaulle commercial center in Tunis, some 150 meters away from the French embassy.
The country's Interior Ministry in a statement said the second blast targeted the judicial police headquarters in the capital.
It said at least one security member was killed and another eight were wounded in the attacks.
The statement gave no further details and said the injured were transported to hospitals.
Thursday's bombings came only hours after an armed attack targeted a broadcasting station in the province of Gafsa, southern Tunisia, by an armed group leaving no human or material damage.

Ship of Theseus
Warmth of the Visuals
Anand Gandhi has had no filmmaking experience. In fact, he has in credit some Indian soap operas, and the sappiest ones. This is one of the primary reasons why I can't believe he has directed 'Ship of Theseus', a resonance making and relevant film which has no dearth of writing and emotions.
The title of the film alludes to Theseus' paradox, most notably recorded in "Life of Theseus", wherein the Greek historian and philosopher Plutarch inquires whether a ship that has been restored by replacing all its parts remains the same ship.
The film follows three narratives: those of a photographer, a stockbroker and a monk, all on a journey of the depth which is called life. Never is the strength of the film based on its universal appeal, but that it caters to the eyes and mind at the same point of time is what makes it an effective, complete and questioning watch. The film, like its characters, has multiple identities, multiple sights and visions, and it celebrates why cinemas exist and when cinemas come to existence. The film itself embodies existence as an identity, which is always reflected in its thorough meanings which are subjective to the storytelling.
The film is, over all, a rich, satisfying experience. In my career as a critic, never have I seen a movie as full-bodied as Ship of Theseus. It is the grandeur of vision. Cinematographer Pankaj Kumar, filmmaker Gandhi and the Greek philosopher Plutarch himself are to be thanked. I am going with 5 out of 5 for 'ship of Theseus'. It is an entertaining film, a perfect watch.
MY REVIEW: Ship of Theseus
There are few movies around, for which you wish someone just read your mind and heart and understand what you felt like while watching them. Ship of Theseus is one such movie. I am writing this review after six months of watching it. I could not find right words to describe my experience at that time and even now I am struggling because this movie is just so original, magical, enlightening and in one word one hell good gem of cinema. Ship of Theseus leaves you with spellbinding effect with its visuals, characterization, dialogs, narrative, subtext and everything we know cinema for. Characters speak when they are supposed to be silent and go in silence when you expect them to argue but both times you are left with lots of food for thought. There are three distinct stories revolving around one common subject only joined in one absolutely surprising climax scene. All I can say that this one leaves a lasting impression on you, compel you to change your view about this world and help you to appreciate the gift called life.

Q: Multiple DNS for docker /etc/docker/daemon.json
{
  "dns": ["10.10.10.1", "10.10.10.2"]
}

inside docker container /etc/resolv.conf after docker run -it centos:7 bash
nameserver 10.10.10.1
nameserver 10.10.10.2

When i try to curl inside the container, it can resolve host under 10.10.10.1 nameserver but it cannot resolve host under the 2nd nameserver, 10.10.10.2.
I can verify this by swapping the order from the two nameserver in daemon.json or resolv.conf inside container.
The goal is to resolve hostname from both nameservers
I have dnsmasq and iptables installed on the host, but I stop the service during this test.

Bergans Helion 45: Review
As a follow-up from the Helium Pro 40, Jed tests a special pack from Bergans of Norway – the Helion 45.
By Jed Edwards in review on May 13, 2021 January 2, 2023
A little over three years ago, I reviewed the Bergans Helium Pro 40 on this site. At the time I was in need of a technical winter daypack, to carry crampons and ice axes for mountaineering in heavy snow. After writing I carried on using the Helium Pro, hauling ropes and helmets for climbers or camping gear for overnight backpacking trips in all kinds of conditions, and eventually I passed it on, as a gift to a friend whose pack was literally falling apart on the trail. I loved it, and he loves it now. When I mentioned this to my contact at Bergans of Norway, he asked if I'd like to test something else – similar, but different.
The Bergans Helion 45 is essentially a militarised version of the Helium Pro 40 I reviewed back then. The materials, layout and features are different, but the fundamental design remains the same.
My Helion was made as part of an order placed by a specific unit in the Norwegian military. Once the order was fulfilled, Bergans kept just 50 backpacks extra, since they loved it so much. A tiny handful have made their way out into the wild, instantly bought by regular soldiers in Norway. Others are yet to be released. There's no product page, and nothing I can link to for more info. Mine came to me as a gift from the pack's designer, and the rarity of these alone makes it very special, though not enough to keep me from using it.
Height 65cm 25.5in.
Width 28cm 11in.
Depth 22cm 8.6in.
Volume 45L 2700cu.in.
Weight 2.3kg 5lbs
Dimensions recorded by author
Primary Fabric: Solution dyed IRR 500D Cordura.
Quality and Comfort
As a pack designed for military use, the Helion is marked by its priorities. True to its namesake, the Helium Pro was incredibly light for its capability, which suited the role it was meant for. The Helion on the other hand is under no obligation to shave weight, least of all at the cost of durability, colour properties, or noise signature. Bergans changed from a mix of 210d and 420d Velocity Nylon to 500d Cordura, meeting the practical needs of a soldier better. The wolf grey colour makes the pack blend in better across a whole range of environments, and the Cordura reduces the crinkly noise of the lighter fabric.
I should say that I never noticed any damage or wear over the years of use that my Helium saw, but I appreciate Cordura's reputation for abrasion resistance is hard-earned. Other changes came too – I criticised the tiny plastic hardware on the Helium, for being hard to use with gloves, and prone to get stuffed with snow – whereas here they've used 1" webbing and buckles. As a result, the Helion 45 is nearly double the weight of its progenitor, but still not absurdly heavy by comparable options on the market – the Mystery Ranch 3DAP, for example, weighs in at 2.1KG, despite a substantially smaller volume. I can't fault the choices that lead to the extra weight, but I'm very glad of the work done by the pack it was based on.
I'm pleased to say that the harness on the Helion remains unchanged – Bergans have done a brilliant job with their QuickAdjust Pro system, making it easy to fit and comfortable to wear. The yoke and lumbar pad are well padded with a dense, nonabsorbent foam, preventing it from soaking up ice and creating space for ventilation on my back when active. The belt, as before, is stiff and took some breaking in – I have noticed it rubbing on my hip at times, becoming uncomfortable if the seams on my trousers lined up at the wrong points. Many users will be happy to see that the belt wraps back around the pack when not needed, making it easier to store in a vehicle or elsewhere, and secure enough to be 'jumpable.'
When fitted properly though, I was able to walk for multiple days in rough terrain without complaint, and didn't notice the increased weight of the pack at all. The fabric kept mud, snow and water off my gear, and the general build felt utterly resilient to the wear put on it by the environment.
Following Bergans' traditional mountaineering packs, the Helion 45 has a simple layout, based around a tall, empty tubular shape. This design saves weight but also maximises volume and load versatility, making room for tent and sleeping bag, or ammunition and radio, as needed. The pack's floating lid and double-cinching snow collar allow for a decent pack out, and I feel this is one of those bags that will always take a little more, when really stuffed.
Building upon the simple alpine rucksack, Bergans have added a rear zipper panel with 4 sliders, which allows the Helion to open 'clamshell', or in sections by the sides or top. Functionally, this is huge – it makes gear stuffed deep into the pack quickly accessible, creates a spot for antennas or a long barrel to protrude, and eases loading of large, awkward gear that might snag on the drawstring collar at the top of the pack. The interior has a simple hydration sleeve (and a passthrough, distinct from the zip), and nothing else, so the best way to keep gear separate is to use drybags and other add-in pouches. The pack can then be confidently loaded for balanced weight rather than access, thanks to this large zipper.
For small essentials, the Helion 45 has two pockets built into its brain, as is common, and these are fine for keys, sunglasses or a notepad. I was happy to see a small loop-velcro field for patches here, as well. Additional external storage is available in a couple of ways – Bergans have wrapped the exterior of the pack in laser-cut PALS matrix, compatible with an entire universe of MOLLE accessories and add-ons. Although MOLLE's roots are strictly military, the plethora of options on the market now mean that any user can find something to meet their needs. Bergans included one pouch for me – an insulated, zip-up pocket sized for a 1L Nalgene bottle (itself a gamechanger when trekking in winter) – and I was able to add my own as needed, to keep snacks or gloves handy.
The external slots allow for mounting larger gear as well. Bergans included two pairs of straps, with aluminium tabs that would fit into the PALS or other webbing loops easily. I was able to secure my sleeping pad that way, but could probably manage an anti-tank weapon with a little work, if I'd needed. In testing, I found myself rolling and taping many of the external straps, since they are so long, and these extras are longer and more versatile still.
The Helion 45 also came to me with a unique beaver-tail attachment, which mounts using those same tabs hooking in place. The tail zips to function as a low-profile external pocket (a great spot for a first aid kit, for example) but when opened gussets outwards to hold a helmet or wet gear securely without eating into the main pack. The whole thing can be removed or set up wherever the user wants, which is great.
Balances weight, durability, ease-of-use and aesthetics superbly.
Adds functional features where needed, and nothing extra.
Incredibly hard to obtain. This bag is not available for retail anywhere, and I can't imagine what it would cost if it were.
Differences from 'standard' mountaineering pack will be unnecessary or even overbuilt for many users.
Although the scope of this website is to cover all kinds of bags, I must admit we lean towards urban-focused daypacks – the kind our readers use most often. To see the cutting edge however, we need to look past the daily-drivers and into the reaches of real performance backpacks. If TPP were a car blog, this would be the Supercar feature – it's not applicable, let alone obtainable, to most folks, but that doesn't stop it from being awesome.
What Bergans of Norway have done here is taken an incredible pack from their mountain line, and spec'd it up even further. They've taken their Lamborghini, and made a Batmobile. I really can't believe I get to own this bag, given its history and rarity, but I'm so glad that I do.

Great. Now I want one. Reminds me some of the MR Patrol 35/45. Great work on this review, as always!
This pack looks amazing and great review! Any chance you could convince Bergans to do a small run for theperfectpack readers? The back access panel is such an underutilized feature; wish more packs would do this.
Jon C says:
Your reference to possible anti-tank weapon carry was excellent.
Thanks. I'll admit that my own experience on the matter is limited, but I heard that it would work, from a reliable source.

Die Augustiner-Chorherren vom Heiligen Victor (lat.: Congregatio Victorina, französisch: La Congrégation de Saint Victor, Ordenskürzel: CRSV) sind eine Ordensgemeinschaft von Priestern in der römisch-katholischen Kirche. Die Kongregation ist ein selbstständiges Mitglied der Konföderation der Augustiner-Chorherren.

Geschichte
Der Beginn des Ordens geht auf das Jahr 1108 zurück. Wilhelm von Champeaux, Archidiakon im damaligen Bistum Paris, entschloss sich mit einigen Priestern das Ordenskleid der Kanoniker zu tragen. 1111 zog er sich in die Kapelle des Hl. Victor, die bei Paris liegt, zurück. Diese zunächst kleine Kirche wurde in dieser Zeit zur Stiftskirche Saint-Victor um- und ausgebaut. Hier gründete er mit seinen Mitbrüdern eine neue Ordensgemeinschaft. Ihr Ordensleben richtete sich nach den Regeln des hl. Augustinus. Zu ihrer Lebensgestaltung gehörte das Studium der Liturgie und die tägliche Feier der hl. Eucharistie. Ihre Aufgabe bestand in der Unterrichtung von Studenten und der Einrichtung einer großen Bibliothek. Schon bald gründeten sie die Schule zum hl. Victor und führten diese theologische Bildungseinrichtung im 12. und 13. Jahrhundert zur Blüte (→ Viktoriner). Zu den bekanntesten Vertretern in dieser Zeit gehören Hugo von St. Viktor, Richard von St. Viktor und Adam von St. Viktor. Danach begann die politische Verfolgung und die Gemeinschaft der "Victorianer" musste nach England, Italien und Dänemark ausweichen. In regelmäßigen Abständen versammelte sich das Ordenskapitel in einem anderen Land. Die Renaissance der Ordensgemeinschaft begann nach den Kirchenreformen des 11. Jahrhunderts. Nun übernahmen sie offiziell die Ordensregeln des Augustinus und legten das Gelübde der Armut, Keuschheit und des Gehorsams ab.

Ausweitung
Um Weihnachten 1968 kamen drei schweizerische Domherren nach Champagne (Ardèche). Sie hatten die Absicht, sich der "Ordensgemeinschaft des hl. Victors" anzuschließen und das geistige Erbe des hl. Victor im Sinne des Zweiten Vatikanischen Konzils umzusetzen. Der Bischof erteilte ihnen die bischöfliche Genehmigung und übertrug ihnen die Leitung des Klosters Saint Pierre (1976 zur Abtei erhoben) in Champagne. 1988 erhielten sie die erneute Bestätigung und wurden 1993 mit der päpstlichen Approbation zu einer Kongregation päpstlichen Rechts.

Ende 1980 kamen Ordensbrüder aus Tansania nach Champagne, um sich über das Leben der Kanoniker zu informieren. Sie kehrten nach Tansania zurück und errichteten mit der Genehmigung des örtlichen Bischofs das "Priorat Unserer Lieben Frau von Bethlehem" in Tansania. Unter der Leitung der Kanoniker wurden eine Kirche, ein Kindergarten, ein Krankenhaus und ein Wohnheim erbaut. Später folgten Einrichtungen in Kamerun und Ruanda.

Organisation
Das Generalhaus der Augustiner-Chorherren vom hl. Victor ist in Champagne in der Abtei Saint-Pierre beheimatet. Im Jahr 2000 wurden die Chorherren durch den Bischof von Valence mit der Leitung der Pfarrgemeinde Sainte-Jalle (Département Drôme) beauftragt. Die Kongregation der Chorherren hat heute Abordnungen in Tansania, Kamerun und Ruanda und zählt ungefähr 70 Mitglieder. Generalabt ist seit 2015 Huges Paulze d' Ivoy.

You arrive to Iceland with adventure in your heart and a longing to experience parts of the world so unique and unknown to most people. You crave the untouched, uncommon and rare nature. The spirit of adventure is one trait us explorers have in common, and what greater place is to find than the iconic Laugavegur Hiking Trail - a trail that will take you through landscapes like no other. Now, it would be more than arrogant of us to claim that we can list the sheer vastness of Laugavegur Trail's many attributes in one small blog post. Nevertheless, we can sure make an honest attempt and at least give you an idea as to what you'll be in for. Just remember, like most of Iceland, this is one experience you'll have to see to believe! Here's our breakdown on why the standard Laugavegur Trail hike is the one of the most famous treks in Iceland!
"Diverse" may be a bit of an understatement here. On this 5-day hike, you will come across a huge variety of some of Iceland's most notorious features of nature. Beginning in the breathtaking geothermal valley of Landmannalaugar with it's unbelievable multicolored rhyolite mountains, you will explore the third largest geothermal zone on earth and experience the bubbling hot springs and steaming stretches of ground - and this is just in the first day of your trek! The days that follow will unveil a seemingly endless array of mystifying sites from the crystal blue Álftavatn lake to the black sand deserts of Mælifellssandur, and the great canyon of Markarfjótsgljúfur, complete with its jaw dropping views of the intimidating Mýrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull glaciers.You will traverse through moonlike terrains, ford rivers, and skirt the Stórasúla and Hattfell volcanoes until you finally reach the lush green valley of Þórsmörk. There truly are no words to properly express the majesty of this trail, but it is the best way to thoroughly explore what this magnificent country of Iceland has to offer.
Icelandic Mountain Guides offers many different ways to hike the Laugavegur trail. You can choose to overnight in one of the trail's mountain huts or camp outside under the stars. Our most popular tour is 'vehicle assisted", meaning you only have to carry your day packs and we'll transport your overnight luggage for you. Meals are provided, as is accommodation and you can bring along your own linen, extra clothes, toiletries and even a couple of beers, or whatever you need, up to about 15 kg!
You will also enjoy (and greatly appreciate) the experience and local knowledge provided by our highly trained, professional guides. No sight will be left unseen, even the out of the way-ones, and you will never feel overwhelmed if things get tough. Our guides are well versed on all of the local flora and fauna and will teach you all about the geological landmarks. Crossing the rivers alone will remind you of the importance of their expertise!
This 5-day excursion is a perfect mid-level difficulty. It is by no means a breeze, but it is not too hard either. The pace is kept at an invigorating 4-7 hours a day, with plenty of time for exploring and getting to know your fellow hikers. You will be making new friends from all across the globe and we consider this an important part of your adventure. Lodging is also included in the trail huts where you truly get to bond with your trail mates. Evenings cooking and eating a communal Icelandic meal together, exploring the area and sharing stories is an experience you will carry with you for a long time. Work hard AND play hard!
5 days is a good long hike. After trekking through lava fields, up and down rocky hills and crossing rivers like the trailblazers you are, you will finally find yourself in the green glacier valley of Þórsmörk (Thor's Wood). The valley, being enclosed and protected by the Eyjafjallajökull, Mýrdalsjökull and Tindfjallajökull glaciers, tends to be warm and full of lush green fern, moss, brightly colored wild flowers and arctic birchwood. This small, tucked away forest will astound you with it's maze of gorges and verdant hillsides. Here we'll celebrate the way the locals of Þórsmörk are accustomed, with a leg of lamb on the grill, in the golden summer night, surrounded by your new friends.
The Laugavegur Trail is a great choice for the hiker who wants to experience the diversity of Iceland. Strange and wonderful awe inspiring surroundings, with the freedom to explore and learn unhindered, all while making new friends and pushing yourself to do great things, the sum of these things add up to a magical feeling you are bound to never forget!
Please join us on one of our summer excursions and experience the wonder yourself. At Icelandic Mountain Guides, we love nothing more that to share the beauty of our great country with you!

For The Longest Time: Leader Of Appalachia-By-Bluegrass Stokes Drug Crew Cops Plea To One Count Of Meth Trafficking
December 22, 2021 — Kentucky drug kingpin Jamaal (Ashland J) Stokes pleaded guilty to a single count of federal narcotics trafficking out of West Virginia in U.S. District Court Tuesday. According to the indictment, Stokes, who hails from Ashland, Kentucky, oversaw a major drug organization dominating the streets of Parkersburg, West Virginia two hours away by car.
The 30-year old Stokes was the No. 1 defendant in Operation Long Time Coming and faces 10 years to life in prison when he is sentenced in April 2022. The Ramseys (Carlo & Floyd) with roots in the Chicago and St. Louis dope games and their nephew, Robert (Pookie) Sanders were Stokes' primary lieutenants, according to the indictment filed back in the fall. <
Carlo Ramsey, 56, is slated to plead guilty in the case in the coming days as well. Ramsey politicked on behalf of Stokes and helped him expand operations to Illinois, Maryland, Florida, North Carolina, Nevada and the Pacific Northwest and acted as his top advisor on street affairs. He was paroled from a heroin-dealing case out of Eastern Illinois in 2020. Floyd Ramsey, 41, and Pookie Sanders, 30 are Carlo Ramsey's nephews.
DEA agents found almost 1,000 grams of meth at Stokes' residence when they brought him into custody back in September. Pookie Sanders is alleged to have been the courier of the drugs being shipped from Ashland to Parkersburg.

Season 1 of the Overwatch League has not been kind to the Dallas Fuel. Most fans expected the former EnVyUs team to dominate their fellow western teams, and bring the fight to the all-Korean squads. Though what happened was exactly the opposite — Fuel is stuck in the bottom three of the standings since the first stage.
Because of this, Fuel has been trying to re-tool its roster since the end of Stage 1. Recently, the latest shake-up in the Dallas Fuel happened, as the team released Head Coach Kyle "KyKy" Souder along with DPS Player Dong-jun "Rascal" Kim.
Because of the changes, Dallas Fuel's assistant coach — Emanuel "Peak" Uzoni, is now the interim head coach of the team. Fuel also signed Kang "Vol'Jin" Min-Gyu of Meta Gaming in Korea to the coaching staff.
With these changes, Dallas Fuel look to be in a precarious spot. Only time will tell if the roster changes will work to their favor; though right now, the release of KyKy and Rascal has not been well received by Overwatch League fans.

Junior Interns with Calvin Klein
In: Extraordinary Education, News
HIGH POINT, N.C., Sept. 8, 2016 – Over the summer, High Point University junior Lexi Becer took a step toward becoming the woman she's always dreamt she could be. Becer, a strategic communication major, interned with Calvin Klein in New York City.
The Oakland, New Jersey, native took part in Phillip Van Heusen's summer internship program and, after multiple interviews, was placed with the Calvin Klein global marketing team.
Becer's daily responsibilities included social media marketing, monitoring Calvin Klein's Fall 2016 campaign and focusing on digital advertising. Another key component of the summer internship program was a group project in which Becer took part.
"There were eight teams that focused on eight different cross-functional topics in order to develop a proposal and presentation for PVH on a specific topic," says Becer. "Unlike previous years, interns in the 2016 class participated in a competition with two rounds of judging."
Becer, fourth from left, poses with her team on the day of finalist presentations for the PVH competition.
Becer's team made it into the final round of competition, presented alongside one other competing team and eventually won. As a winner of that competition, Becer was given the chance to present her proposal in front of the CEOs of the company on Aug. 4.
"The finalist day was life-changing for me," says Becer. "Having the opportunity to speak in front of such a large, important crowd has only led me closer towards becoming the person I have always wanted to be."
Aside from winning the competition, Becer says that the day-to-day work done at Calvin Klein was what really made her internship an incredible experience.
"My favorite part of my internship was being so excited every morning to walk into an environment that I truly felt a part of and enjoyed learning about," says Becer. "I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have been a part of such an amazing program."
Becer says that while the internship taught her a lot about herself, it also helped her realize the ways that HPU had prepared her for her summer with Calvin Klein
"HPU helped me learn that you do have to work on group projects and present proposals in the business world all while knowing your audience," says Becer.
Having returned to campus for the start of her junior year, Becer is bringing back lessons that she plans to use at HPU.
"My internship helped me learn that practice can make perfect and that I should never limit myself," says Becer. "Overall, I am honored to have had experience in the fashion industry and to have discovered my niche."

A Guide to Wild Fruits of Borneo
By: Lamb, Anthony
Very well illustrated, octavo, pp xii, 296, a very good new copy in dustwrapper. [The edible wild fruits, nuts and seeds of Borneo that are found in the different forests from coastal seashores and islands, through the lowlands and hills, to the montane forests, and on different soils, are estimated to be in the region of 500 different species. These were consumed by the many groups of people inhabiting the island, over many decades. They were the ones who had initially discovered whether different fruits, nuts and seeds were edible, and that some otherwise toxic species become edible only after cooking or fermentation processes. Botanists and taxonomists have subsequently provided the scientific names for these plants and classified most of them into their respective families and genera. However, there are still new species being discovered in what are some of the most species-rich forests in the world, and for many genera, Borneo is their centre of diversity. Many species are rare and little known, and over 30% of plant species are endemic to Borneo. The lowland forests are particularly rich, with most of the species being trees, but treelets, shrubs and herbs also have species with edible fruits. This guide mostly introduces the better-known species, but to showcase this diversity, some examples of rare or little-known species are also included, resulting in a total of 34 families, 55 genera, and 109 species being illustrated. Many of the lowland forests have now been cleared for the development of agriculture, forest plantations, towns and roads, and the diversity of varieties of some species has become greatly reduced. Though some germplasm has been conserved in agricultural stations and research facilities, much more needs to be done so that those species with good commercial potential can be selected and bred as future crops for farmers. Some species have already been researched, and selected clones made available, but there are still many more with good horticultural potential.]

"Drummer, drummer, I pray thee hear!
Hast thou forgotten thou heldest me dear?
That on the glass-mountain we sat hour by hour?
That I rescued thy life from the witch's power?
Didst thou not plight thy troth to me?
Drummer, drummer, hearken to me!"
Hast thou forgotten thy heldest me dear?
But the drummer, who was stupefied with the sleeping-draught, could not be aroused. Sadly next morning she went back to her hut in the forest. But the people in the house had heard the lamentation of the stranger-maiden, and told the bridegroom about it. They told him also that it was impossible that he could hear anything of it, because the maiden he was going to marry had poured a sleeping-draught into his wine.
Hast thou forgotten thou held me dear?
Suddenly, his memory returned to him. "Ah," cried he, "how can I have acted so unfaithfully; but the kiss which in the joy of my heart I gave my parents, on the right cheek, that is to blame for it all, that is what stupefied me!" He sprang up, took the King's daughter by the hand, and led her to his parents' bed. "This is my true bride," said he; "if I marry the other, I shall do a great wrong." The parents, when they heard how everything had happened, gave their consent. Then the lights in the hall were lighted again, drums and trumpets were brought, friends and relations were invited to come, and the real wedding was solemnized with great rejoicing. The first bride received the beautiful dresses as a compensation, and declared herself satisfied.


This 2-day or 3-day course explains the elements and supporting materials of the COBIT framework, using a logical and example-driven approach for anyone interested in obtaining COBIT foundation level knowledge. COBIT 5 Foundation is the first step, and a prerequisite, to enroll into the advanced level courses that ISACA has released in 2013. This training provides the next generation of ISACA's guidance on the enterprise governance and management of IT. It builds on more than 15 years of practical usage and application of COBIT by many enterprises and users from business, IT, risk, security and assurance communities. Today, more than ever, information and related technologies need to be governed, managed and operated in a holistic manner—with a single, integrated process model that provides end-to-end coverage of the roles, responsibilities and practices required.
COBIT 5 provides a comprehensive framework that assists enterprises in achieving their objectives for the governance and management of enterprise IT. It helps enterprises create optimal value from IT by maintaining a balance between realizing benefits and optimizing risk levels and resource use. COBIT 5 enables IT to be governed and managed in a holistic manner for the entire enterprise, taking in both the full end-to-end business and IT functional areas of responsibility, while considering the IT-related interests of internal and external stakeholders. COBIT 5 is generic, and is useful for enterprises of all sizes; whether commercial, not-for-profit or in the public sector.

Human Sexuality and the Spirit of the Age
More than 125 years ago, The Chautauquan, a scientific journal, first posed a question that we're all familiar with: "If a tree were to fall on an island where there were no human beings, would there be any sound?" People have debated the answer to that question ever since. Today I want to raise a different question: If a group puts out a statement on an important subject and very few people take notice, and those who do are all virtually disagreeing, was anything really said? Usually, the answer is "no." But in the case of a recent statement, the opportunities for teaching and clarification are enough to warrant an exception. The statement was put out by a group calling itself "Christians United in Support of LGBT+ Inclusion in the Church." The statement's animating conviction is that "A new day is dawning in the Church, and all Christians are being called to step out boldly and unapologetically in affirmation and celebration of our LGBT+ siblings as equal participants in the Kingdom of God." What follows are a series of affirmations and denials. What's being affirmed is the new sexual orthodoxy expressed in theological language that's completely untethered from either Scripture or two millennia of Christian teaching. Not surprisingly then, what's being denied is the teaching of Scripture, tradition, and even nature itself. This denial is present in the very name of the group—specifically, the term "LGBT+, which prompts an obvious question "Plus what?" The polyamorous? What about the "Otherkin," people "who socially and spiritually identify as partially or entirely non-human?" The "+" is a reminder that, to a large extent, the selling of the new sexual orthodoxy from the very beginning has been a case of "bait and switch." Americans, including many Christians, have been swayed by sentiments such as "you can't help who you love," and Lady Gaga's "born this way." What they don't understand is that this was only the tip of an ideological iceberg whose goal was about a lot more than "civil rights, tolerance," or even "legitimacy." It was, as a 1993 (!) cover story in the Nation put it, the possibility of "changing America forever" by "altering the way we all live, form families . . . and understand the very meaning of identity." Remember that scene in Star Wars where Han Solo is told that the reward for returning Leia and Luke to the Rebel Alliance would be "more than you can imagine." He replied, "I don't know. I can imagine quite a lot." In a world where "the very meaning of identity" is up for grabs, what the statement calls the "wide spectrum of unique sexualities and gender identities" seems limitless. Lately, I've been telling anyone who will listen that for Christians, biblically-shaped Christian teaching about human sexuality, and therefore identity, isn't something we can agree to disagree on. The Bible and two thousand years of Christian tradition are unequivocal on this matter. In 1 Thessalonians 4, for example, the Apostle Paul tells the Thessalonians, "This is the will of God, your holiness: that you refrain from immorality, that each of you know how to acquire a wife for himself in holiness and honor, not in lustful passion as do the Gentiles who do not know God." He adds "Therefore, whoever disregards this, disregards not a human being but God, who [also] gives his holy Spirit to you." First Thessalonians is widely regarded as the oldest book in the New Testament. From the start, traditional Christian teaching on sexual ethics has been a part of the apostolic proclamation. People who disregard this teaching are not, as the statement insists, following the "calling" of the Holy Spirit to "return to the Scriptures and our traditions." In fact, it's quite the opposite. They're abandoning the Scriptures and tradition altogether, at the prompting of a very different spirit, the spirit of the age. An age in which truth and even reality itself is up for grabs.

And now we almost have a fight on the field.
That was pretty bad…they have to change the rule and eliminate the ejection when the "targeted" player incites the contact.
Bad call by the ref on the targeting call. Al-Shaair even extended his arms to avoid hitting him directly with his helmet.
A lot of action all at once.
Azeez Al-Shaair is ejected following a targeting call.
With FAU's defensive leader out, ODU quickly moves downfield to score.
A little scuffle breaks out on the PAT, with Andrew Soroh visibly upset.
The Monarchs make the most of Al-Shaair's ejection, and quickly move downfield to pull within five.
"1-2 punch of Whyte and Singletary"
We needed a replacement for the "1-2 punch of Howell and SIngletary" so this is good to see.
That's how you respond! A methodical 8 play, 81 yard drive ends with a perfect pass from Robison to Bryant.
Owls answer right back with another TD pass to Harrison Bryant. The tight end found some space in the middle of the endzone with a beautiful post route.
AND THE PAT IS GOOD, WEEEEEEE!
Bout time so stuff goes our way!
Wow, what a play! Almost a one handed catch that is bobbled and turns into an interception!

Passion for Art, Movies, and Culture
WHY UNHEALED WOUND
ABOUT DIANA
Diana Y. Paul, author
"Parasite" –Living Off Your Host
This Korean multiple award-nominated, SAG Globe winning movie, Parasite, has captured the critics' minds as it delves into the income gap, greed and class discrimination between the "one-percenter" wealthy Park family and the destitute, marginally employed Kim clan. The theme of the competitive, desperate search for wealth at one end of the income spectrum versus the content, oblivious upper-class entitlement at the other end permeates South Korean director, Bong Joon-ho's films ("Snowpiercer" and "Mother" in particular.) This difficult theme is unusual to tackle, let alone devote one's film career to different genre for portraying the inviting and repelling ways in which humans are not aware of each other's choices and behavior.
The wealthy Park family live the "lux life", mainly due to a retinue of servants and staff who allow them to pamper their daughter and son, entertain while a flood leaves many low-income residents homeless, and believe that no one wants to do them harm. The low-income Kim family has to fight their invisibility. [While Parasite does not deal with ethnic strife, it resonates with Jordan Peele's films "Get Out" and "Us".]
Parasite burrows deep into the dream world of the rich and the poor: for the rich, there are no problems that money can't solve, or at least improve. For the poor, their ambitions pave the way for dreams that almost certainly cannot come true, denying that they are living off the breadcrumbs of the very rich whose lives are supported and enabled by them. And both families live in a wormhole of interwoven, interdependent lives. The characters—in their respective bubbles—can't truly be tricked unless they want to believe. And they all do. Parasite, however, does not evoke the many shades of gray that need to be addressed.
This is an important film, because it focuses on a theme that others fear to tackle. Jordan Peele is a notable exception. My hope is for more provocative, better films in Bong Joon-ho's future.
Note: Snowpiercer (see my August 4, 2014 review) is more memorable and soon to be made into a TNT mini-series releasing in May. Dealing with climate change as well as unconscionable income inequality, Snowpiercer's ending takes no prisoners and has no answers.
Godfather of Harlem—Partners in Crime
Inspired by a true story, Godfather of Harlem skillfully interweaves the combative and competing forces of the mafia with the battle for civil rights in the mid-'60s. In the riveting Epix limited series, Godfather of Harlem, we see the character Bumpy Johnson (the exceptional Forest Whitaker) re-enter the world of organized crime after being released from Alcatraz.
Drugs have taken over many of New York's poor communities, and the Italian mafia runs most of them, now including the crime syndicate of Harlem which had been Bumpy Johnson's exclusive domain. Not wanting to be a snitch, Johnson survives an eleven-year prison sentence meant for members of the mafia. Upon release, Johnson feels he is owed back his territory. However, Vincent "Chin" Gigante (Vincent D'Onofrio) refuses to give up the control of Harlem he has seized through brutal means, so brutal they fall outside the boundaries of the mafia's own code of conduct.
During the turf war that follows, Bumpy Johnson forms an alliance with preacher Malcolm X and Congressman Adam Clayton Powell. This additional subplot of backroom politics and maneuvering gives force to the civil rights movement but threatens to tear the communities apart. And other subplots that overlay the crime drama are a love story reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet and a saga of dysfunctional families compartmentalized by criminal masterminds who are also fathers and husbands. Reminiscent at times of "The Sopranos", Bumpy Johnson and his daughter in the finale have an unforgettable scene.
If you liked American Gangster with Denzel Washington, you will probably love its prequel, Godfather of Harlem. Denzel's character Frank Lucas was Bumpy's right hand until he took over the throne.
Great ensemble cast and some extraordinary dialogue delivered by both major and minor characters. [The co-writer Chris Brancato also created the series Narcos.] This is a real winner!
Marriage Story (2019)-The Bonds of Love
Nominated this year for eleven Academy Awards, Marriage Story portrays two people who really care about, respect, and love each other, and yearn for a "gentle" amicable divorce resolution. They also are determined to nurture and nourish their young son, Henry, with as little wounding as possible.
Written, directed and produced by Noah Baumbach (of "Squid and the Whale", another excellent film about divorce), this film eviscerates what happens in even the best-intentioned divorces, reminiscent of the classic 1979 film "Kramer vs Kramer".
Charlie (Adam Driver) is a very competitive, driven theater director whose wife Nicole (Scarlett Johansson) has substantially contributed to his recent success. As the leading actress and idea-generator for this theatrical company, Nicole loves witnessing the accolades and fame Charlie is garnering, including receiving the prestigious MacArthur grant. (There are parallels to last year's hit, The Wife, here.) Until she doesn't.
Neither character is portrayed as overly narcissistic (although Charlie comes close) but both are flawed. While the viewer comes to understand and empathize with both of them wanting to pursue their dreams, we see the character arcs change radically. The hoped-for amicable divorce proceedings turn very ugly when lawyers get involved.
This is an emotionally raw journey into trying to figure out how to be an independent adult and survive alone. It is so grief-stricken in impact that it is as if the viewer's observing the psychological amputation of the couple's former selves.
Charlie and Nicole's assumptions about each other were lovingly expressed while they were a couple, and are now weaponized. What they had been fond of in each other's character, turns into deep wounds and grievances.
The cast is phenomenal. Adam Driver offers a transformative, heartbreaking performance that may surprise many. Scarlett Johansson is his equal, playing a broken woman who wants the best for her family, but can no longer hope for her marriage to change. Their performances are as intertwined and nuanced as they are fragmented, and they play off each other with rarely seen chemistry.
Marriage Story is a delicate dance and dialectic of vertiginous rage and devastating miscommunication, weaving together themes of loneliness, heartbreak, and regret acutely reflecting the imperfect and painful nature of human relationships. An unnerving capture of the complexities of character and the dissolution of a marriage between two loving people, Marriage Story will become a classic allegory for us all.
Happy New Year 2020: The Year of the [Metal] Rat
Happy Chinese New Year 2020!
The Buddha taught rats first, among the animals in the Buddhist pantheon, and rats rank first on the Chinese zodiac. Though people who follow Western animal symbolism do not consider the rat either adorable or auspicious, nevertheless the characteristics of the rat are considered spirited, witty, alert, flexible, and that of a survivor. The Chinese New Year will begin on January 25, 2020 with the final celebration on February 11.
The Metal Rat Year is going to be a strong, prosperous, and lucky year for those who conduct financial research and follow through on investments. For investors in real estate, or venturing on their own to start a business or to invest money in a long-term project, major decisions on money matters will affect the entire twelve-year cycle of the zodiac–until 2032.
On the political front, those who fight against corruption will be accused of duplicity and hypocrisy. Political unrest will continue and revolutionary disruption of the establishment will gain momentum. Increased tensions and misunderstanding between allies will occur.
To avoid escalating conflict by unscrupulous populist governments who overlook or ignore the common interest of society, moderation, patience and compromise must be recognized and practiced. In addition, all nations must implement strict and disciplinary measures to ameliorate climate change. Jealousy of those who have polluted the plant will rise.

Recent evidence indicates that there is stronger nitrification in the euphotic zone than previously thought. We employ a physical-biogeochemical model to study the implications of nitrification for basin-scale distributions of nitrate, ammonium, and biological production in the equatorial Pacific. The model can faithfully reproduce observed features in nitrate distribution, with or without photoinhibition of nitrification in the euphotic zone. In addition, new production, net community production and export production are not very sensitive to the parameterization of nitrification in this model. However, simulated ammonium distribution, nitrate uptake and ammonium uptake are sensitive to this parameterization. High nitrification results in low ammonium concentration, low ammonium uptake rate, and high nitrate uptake rate in the euphotic zone. This study suggests that nitrification may be responsible for up to 40% of nitrate uptake in the equatorial Pacific. This modeling study also demonstrates large differences (in terms of the magnitude and spatial distribution) between nitrate uptake, new production and export production, reflecting decoupling of upward nutrient supply, biological uptake and downward export.
The equatorial Pacific Ocean is the largest oceanic source of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere . The strong outgassing is partly attributable to the low efficiency of the "biological pump", i.e., the export of particulate organic materials from surface waters to the deep ocean. Thus, studying the "biological pump" is critical to our understanding of the carbon cycle. Due to the difficulty in measuring export production, an alternative approach, measuring new production, has been employed to determine the magnitude of the "biological pump". In a steady state, new production, defined as uptake of preformed nitrogen (primarily nitrate) that is transported from deep waters into the euphotic zone, should equal to export production [2,3,4].
In practice, new production is often determined by measuring nitrate consumption by phytoplankton. This approach may lead to overestimation due to nitrification (i.e., oxidation of ammonium to nitrate) in the euphotic zone  because there is strong evidence of nitrification in the euphotic zone of the global ocean [6,7,8,3,9]. For example, a field study shows considerable nitrification in the euphotic zone of the equatorial Pacific, especially in the strong upwelling region . However, early studies provided evidence of photoinhibition of marine nitrifying bacteria (e.g., [10,11]). Therefore, photoinhibition has traditionally been applied to nitrification in many biogeochemical models (e.g., [12,13,14,15,16]). Yet, there has not been much attention paid to the implication of nitrification for estimating new production until recently [3,9].
While one may conclude that the nitrate consumption approach to estimating new production leads to an overestimation of the magnitude of new production and the efficiency of the "biological pump" due to nitrification in the euphotic zone, the process of nitrification itself is still not fully understood. Our understanding of the factors that influence nitrification is limited, partly due to the inconsistencies among methodologies , and also, probably attributable to the uncertainties of measuring ammonium oxidation . Using available observational studies, Yool et al.  derived a large range of the specific nitrification rate, from <0.0 to >1 d−1. This range is not only because of techniques and designs, and also because of natural temporal and spatial variability. However, most biogeochemical models (e.g., [13,14,15,16]) apply a relatively low rate, ranging from 0.02 to 0.1 d−1 with photoinhibition in the euphotic zone. Clearly, not only more observations are warranted to better understand nitrification and associated processes, but there is also a need for further modeling studies to assess the implications of different specific nitrification rates for the nitrogen cycle in the upper ocean.
Here, we use a fully coupled physical-biogeochemical model to address this issue in the equatorial Pacific which has large spatio-temporal contrasts in physical and biogeochemical fields. Our approach includes the use of observations for integrated model assessments of nitrate, ammonium, nitrate consumption, and total nitrogen uptake. We present model-data comparisons of nitrate and ammonium to test different nitrification scenarios. The objective of this study is to assess if nitrate uptake can represent new production or export production and what the implications of nitrification are for the equatorial Pacific.
A 3-dimensional physical-biogeochemical model has been developed for the equatorial Pacific. The ocean general circulation model (OGCM) is based on a primitive equation, σ-coordinate model that is coupled to an advective atmospheric mixed layer model . The model is forced by solar radiation, cloudiness, surface wind stresses, wind speeds and precipitation, but the air temperature and humidity are computed by an advective atmospheric mixed layer model coupled to the OGCM so that sea surface temperature (SST) can be determined interactively without prescribing the latent and sensible heat fluxes and long wave radiation. The solar radiation and cloudiness are climatological monthly means, and precipitation is interannually varying six-day means. We also use interannual, six-day means of the surface wind stresses and wind speeds (1978–2007). All the forcing data were obtained from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) reanalysis .
The biogeochemical model consists of ten components: seven biological pools and three nutrients (ammonium, nitrate, and dissolved iron) pools (Figure 1). The biological pools include dissolved organic nitrogen, and two sizes (large and small) of phytoplankton, zooplankton and detritus, respectively. Model equations and biological parameters are described in Wang et al. . The biogeochemical model is a nitrogen-based model with iron limitation. Phytoplankton growth (thus nitrogen uptake) is a function of nitrogen, iron, temperature and light conditions. Parameterizations of nitrogen uptake and regeneration were described by Wang et al. . Our modeling effort has included extensive use of observational data for model calibration and validation; e.g., dissolved and particulate organic nitrogen , basin-scale chlorophyll distribution , nitrate and ammonium uptake, and ammonium regeneration .

Here, we carry out a sensitivity experiment to test the implication of nitrification for the nitrogen cycle, using commonly used range of specific nitrification rate in most biogeochemical models (e.g., [16,13]). The sensitivity study consists of four simulations: standard, NITR1, NITR2 and NITR3. For the standard simulation, nitrification (0.04 d−1) occurs only below the euphotic zone. For the NITR1, nitrification rate is constant (0.02 d−1) throughout the water column. The NITR2 experiment has a low rate (0.02 d−1) for the euphotic zone, and high rate (0.06 d−1) below the euphotic zone. The NITR3 has a constant specific nitrification rate of 0.06 d−1 throughout the water column. The experiment allows us to compare ammonium and nitrate concentrations and their uptake rates with (the standard and NITR2) and without (the NITR1 and NITR3) photoinhibition of nitrification in the euphotic zone.
To assess the basin-scale consequences of nitrification, we compared the climatology of nitrate for the equatorial Pacific Ocean between the model simulations and observations from the World Ocean Database . There were only minor differences in the surface nitrate among the four simulations (Figure 2). These results indicated that modeled nitrate was not highly sensitive to the parameterization of nitrification commonly used in the biogeochemical models, which was also noted by Mongin et al. . Overall, the model, with or without photoinhibition of nitrification, reproduced many observed features of nitrate, including the spatial pattern and magnitude. For instance, both data and model simulations (Figure 2a and 2b) showed much higher nitrate concentration in the eastern upwelling region (~10 mmol m−3) relative to the western warm pool (0–1 mmol m−3), and also the equatorial asymmetry (i.e., high concentration to the south of the equator).
Climatology of surface nitrate concentration (mmol N m −3 ) from (a) the standard simulation, and (b) the World Ocean Database, and differences in surface nitrate between the standard and (c) NITR1, (d) NITR2, and (e) NITR3 simulations, respectively.
Physical and biogeochemical parameters were measured during the EBENE cruise (October-November, 1996) along 180° in the equatorial Pacific (see introduction by ). Specifically, intensive sampling of nitrate and ammonium profiles was carried out at the equator and 3°S for five days . Figure 2 shows the observed nitrate and ammonium profiles against simulated profiles from the sensitivity study for the upper 200 m of the water column. Observations show similar values for nitrate and ammonium in surface waters at both locations but considerable differences in the subsurface, particularly at ~100 m. The observed subsurface nitrate concentration was higher at the equator than at 3°S whereas the observed subsurface ammonium concentration was lower at the equator than at 3°S. The decoupling between ammonium and nitrate was mainly a result of upwelling that brings up high-nitrate-low-ammonium water from deep layer. There were other studies showing similar features in ammonium distribution in the equatorial Pacific, particularly stronger deep ammonium maxima (DAM) off the equator than on the equator [26,27,28].
Modeled nitrate profiles were similar among the four simulations albeit slightly higher in concentrations than the observations. The model-data mismatch in nitrate is mainly obvious at 3°S, particularly below the surface where modeled nitrate concentrations are approximately 3 mmol m−3 higher than the observations. Unlike nitrate, ammonium profiles show pronounced differences among the four model simulations (Figure 2c and 2d). Apparently, the standard simulation with zero-nitrification produces the highest ammonium concentrations in the euphotic zone, which are nearly 100% higher than the observations. As expected, modeled ammonium concentration decreases with increasing specific nitrification rate. For instance, the NITR3 simulation with the highest specific nitrification rate (0.06 d−1) produces the lowest ammonium concentration. The simulated ammonium profile from the NITR3 run shows only a weak DAM, and small spatial differences in concentration between the equator and 3°S. It appears that the application of specific nitrification rate of 0.06 d−1 slightly underestimates the subsurface ammonium concentration. On the other hand, the NITR1 simulation, applied with the lowest specific nitrification rate (0.02 d−1) below the euphotic zone, shows a pronounced overestimation of ammonium concentration below 120 m.
Previously, a modeling study showed that increasing nitrification rate from 0.02 d−1 to 0.2 d−1 resulted in a significant increase (>60%) in the global nitrate uptake but relatively no increase in the total primary production . Figure 3 shows comparisons of the total nitrogen uptake, nitrate uptake, export production and net community production between the standard and NITR3 simulations for the equatorial Pacific. While the total nitrogen uptake was not expected to change (see details in ), our results also show little change in export production and net community production. However, there is a pronounced increase (20-50%) in the integrated nitrate uptake in the euphotic zone when nitrification rate is increased from 0 to 0.06 d−1.

Lines represent model simulation for the standard (black), NITR1 (red), NITR2 (green) and NITR3 (blue). Dashed lines indicate the euphotic depth.
Climatology of (a) and (b) total nitrogen uptake (0–120 m) (mmol N m −2 d −1 ), (c) and (d) nitrate uptake (0–120 m) (mmol N m −2 d −1 ), (e) and (f) export production at 120 m (mmol N m −2 d −1 ), and (g) and (h) net community production in the mixed layer (mmol N m −2 d −1 ) from the standard (left panel) and NITR3 (right panel) simulations.
Table 1 presents comparisons of nitrogen fluxes between the standard and NITR3 simulations in the Wyrtki box (5°N-5°S, 180°-90°W). Relative to the standard simulation, the NITR3 produces significantly higher rate of nitrate uptake (0.97 mmol N m−2 d−1), but lower rate of ammonium uptake (0.99 mmol N m−2 d−1). However, the differences of the total nitrogen uptake, new production and export production are extremely small between the two simulations. Estimated rates of new production and export production show some degree of asymmetries although the integrated rate of nitrate uptake shows no asymmetry (Figure 4). Interestingly, new production is higher to the south than to the north in the eastern equatorial Pacific whereas export production is the highest to the north in the central equatorial Pacific. The former reflects higher biological production (nutrient uptake) to the south as a result of stronger upwelling  whereas the latter reflects horizontal export of organic materials to outside of the strong upwelling region. As shown in Table 1, the rate of new production (1.7 mmol N m−2 d−1) is considerably higher than the rate of export production (1.1 mmol N m−2 d−1) in the Wyrtki box, indicating 35% of new production is exported to elsewhere.
*New production = nitrate uptake – nitrification.
The mean and median specific nitrification rates are 0.55 d−1 and 0.195 d−1, respectively, as estimated from the sparse observations in the global ocean . Biogeochemical models typically apply a constant specific nitrification rate, ranging from 0.02 to 0.1 d−1 with photoinhibition in the euphotic zone [16,15,13,14]. While this study shows that such a low rate may be a reasonable average over large scales, it is questionable whether measured nitrification rate at a specific time under certain conditions can be applied linearly over basin scales. On the one hand, a better parameterization of the nitrification process (e.g., non-linear relationship to ammonium concentration) is essential for biogeochemical models to improve model skills . On the other hand, more field studies are needed to provide insights for modeling the nitrification process; e.g., regulatory factors and mechanisms.
Biogeochemical model validations often focus on nitrate distribution, largely driven by data availability. This study indicates that modeled nitrate distribution is not very sensitive to some parameterizations (e.g., nitrification). Ammonium, revealing considerable spatial and temporal variations with relatively low concentrations, may provide a sensitive and realistic check on the performance of biogeochemical models . Moreover, an approach with integrated validations of concentrations and uptake rates of both nitrate and ammonium would provide an overall assessment on biogeochemical model skills , which requires integrated observations of different nitrogen forms and fluxes such as Raimbault et al. .
There is a large range (~0.01 d−1 to >1 d−1) in the specific nitrification rate , which is derived from the daily rate of ammonium oxidation divided by the ambient ammonium concentration. The former, reflecting micro-biological activity, is regulated by environmental conditions whereas the latter is affected by the processes involving the generation and removal of ammonium. Thus, field measurements remain difficult and may introduce potential errors and uncertainties because simultaneous processes may interfere with rate measurements . Clearly, further studies with advanced methodology are needed not only to determine the specific nitrification rate, but also to better understand the regulating processes, i.e., the controlling of light, temperature and other factors. Moreover, studies of other associated processes (e.g., ammonium uptake and inhibition) would advance our understanding of the marine nitrogen cycle.
Many studies have shown that nitrification is not negligible in the euphotic zone of the global ocean. For example, a recent field study demonstrated that nitrification in the euphotic zone could support 3-100% of nitrate uptake (e.g., ) . This study suggests that nitrification may be responsible for up to 40% of nitrate uptake in the equatorial Pacific. There are large differences in magnitude and spatial distribution between nitrate uptake, new production and export production, suggesting that the classic assumption of upward flux of nitrate equal to downward flux of sinking organic nitrogen may not be applicable in the real ocean where three-dimensional activities decouple the associated processes, i.e., upward inorganic nutrient supply, biological uptake in the euphotic zone, and downward export of organic materials . Therefore, the traditional view of "a steady state" ocean may not be applied to small-scale regions. The present study is obviously only the first step in demonstrating the importance of parameterization of nitrification in models. Further studies with longer simulations are needed to demonstrate larges implication of nitrification on seasonal-to-interannual and longer timescale variability of new production.

One great way to spice your own fashion design facts usually look for time proven designs arrive in new and interesting flavors. This is really important because sometimes something a good ordinary purse could look absolutely fabulous in a rare design such as camouflage or large make. Look for this to be a great to help draw interest and awareness to yourself.
Another form of nike shoes combined with comfort and design together. It's the nike dunk shoes, had been first shown the athletes in '85. Obviously, it has a long history since it appeared. It originally uses a huge variety of colors in nearly all sizes for various types of Colleges and Universities. Comparing to its parent shoes, the Nike Dunk gets a lower profile outer main. The intent was a lighter weight and staying closer down.
Hydration is actually definitely an essential part of running. May possibly possibly not need to hydrate during short and straightforward runs. But when running for greater than 30 minutes, hydration is absolutely essential. Purchase a middle size bottle and make sure to try in on before purchase it.
These are common very important questions to ask if yourrrre going to chose this as your profession. You ought to know about photographers, techniques and the particular theory. You may find that be involved in finding out about photo essays enter to get the information on that too. There is so much to discover photography which includes the type of equipment, lenses, film and possibly even the connected with lighting that you'll require for some sort of shot and what the best positioning is within the sun.
As most of us know, Nike's basketball shoe line was quite popular in the skateboarding scene, and the Dunk soon was the hottest series for skaters for lower profile sole which improved grounding performance and the durability.
Regardless that field tend to be working on, there a wide range of questions that require answers buy to to means to further your career and have a strong allow. There are many books that you can get this information from and of course, several most likely have questions about something that you simply have read in one specific book. As stated earlier, taking part in a discussion about these books and asking questions can assist you in being far and help for you to better exactly what you read. It is kind of easy to get in on the discussion regarding the various books that possess to read or on those people that muscular to find out. Don't hesitate of the probability to speak with others.
