No Separation of Mosque and StateWritten by Bruce Walker
While the ACLU worries about whether a Christmas decoration in the public library or a moment of silent prayer in school violates the First Amendment, other non-Christian nations have no trouble at all with combining religion and government. The notion that a "separation of church and state" is indispensable to civil liberty would have flabbergasted the Founding Fathers. In fact, when the Constitution was adopted, about half of the original states had a "state" religion. Eventually all of these states were disestablished (the "state" religion status was ended) but this had absolutely nothing to do with the First Amendment, whose clear words collectivists always seem unable to read: "Congress shall make no law…." is how that amendment begins. Congress did not mean state legislatures.
A significant change to the constitution of the liberal Presbyterian Church (USA) — (PCUSA) — took effect July 10 that allows practicing homosexuals to serve as clergy in the storied mainline denomination. Last year delegates to the PCUSA endorsed the change to drop the requirement, written in the church's constitution, that church ministers live "in fidelity within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman, or chastity in singleness." The change required approval by a majority of the church's 173 regional presbyteries, which occurred in May of this year, with Minnesota's Twin Cities district casting the deciding vote.
Thirty percent of Americans believe that the Bible is the actual word of God, according to a recent Gallup survey. While nearly 50 percent agree that Scripture is "inspired" by God, only three in ten say that it should be interpreted literally. Another 17 percent say the Bible is merely an ancient book of stories recorded by man.
Delegates at the most recent national meeting of the United Church of Christ (UCC) agreed overwhelmingly July 4 to strike the term "heavenly Father" from the denomination's constitutional definition of the local church. By a vote of 613 to 161, the delegates voted to change language in Article V of the church's bylaws (see page 3) from describing a local church as composed of persons who believe in "God as heavenly Father" to those who believe in "the triune God" — thereby relieving UCC members of the responsibility of acknowledging God as masculine.
A federal appeals court has ordered the U.S. government to stop immediately stop enforcing the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" ban on homosexuals serving in the military. The three-judge panel from San Francisco's 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that since Congress has already repealed the policy, a move that came last December, and the Pentagon is actively preparing for an influx of homosexual personnel into the nation's armed forces, there is no longer a reason to continue with the stay the court had earlier placed on a lower court ruling overturning the ban.

Nurses protest at Emek Yezreel College 370.
(photo credit:Hadar Zevulun)
Unsatisfied with the Tel Aviv Labor Court's ruling earlier this week that it
would not at this time issue restraining orders against nurses who have adopted
sanctions, the Tel Aviv District Attorney filed an appeal on Thursday to the
National Labor Court.The case was due to be heard that night.The
Tel Aviv court judge had stated that the Treasury was not genuinely negotiating
and that the nurses had a right to apply sanctions. But the Treasury, which has
said it cannot negotiate a new wage contract with the nurses or promise higher
budgets before the Knesset elections take place, objected to the
ruling.Thursday was the 12th day of 28,000 nurses' protest against
public hospitals and Health Ministry facilities, but for the last two days, the
sanctions have been eased to allow nurses to work in Clalit Health Services'
community clinics.In its appeal to the national court, the government
said that restraining orders were necessary to prevent even more harm to public
health from the reduced Shabbat or emergency schedules that have been in force
during the last two weeks.Talks between the state and the nurses' union
took place on Wednesday, but they were fruitless.Thousands of operations
and coronary catheterizations have been postponed as a result of the sanctions,
as have vaccinations of children in schools and well-baby clinics around the
country. In addition, many thousands of examinations and treatments at hospital
outpatient clinics and diagnostic institutes have been canceled.The
nurses held demonstrations outside various hospitals on Thursday.On
Sunday, maintenance workers, technicians and administrative personnel at all 14
Clalit-owned hospitals will hold sympathy protests outside their hospitals at 10
a.m. to identify with the nurses. They will return to work after the
demonstrations.Hadash MK Dov Henin accused the government of instituting
"a murderous [financial] diet in the health system" that has created a severe
shortage of nurses, doctors and hospital beds. He announced a proposal for
reforming the system and making it more egalitarian. It includes the
cancellation of privatizing the school health services and psychiatric care, and
restoring them to government responsibility. It also calls for a reinstatement
of the "parallel tax," in which employees contribute money to the healthcare of
its workers, that was canceled when Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was in his
first term as premier.Also on Sunday, nursing students in several parts
of the country will stop their studies for two hours, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.,
and hold "support assemblies" instead, it was announced on Thursday night. The
affected nursing schools are at the University of Haifa, Ben-Gurion University,
Tel Aviv University, the Safed Academic College and the Yezreel Valley Academic
College.Uri Rashtik, chairman of the Students Association, said that it
supported the nurses' struggle for the future of the profession and the health
system. The protesters will wear white coats and carry stethoscopes.

And for some reason, they don't like to tell you the salary up front. I made it a practice to refuse to follow up if I don't know the potential salary. I made the policy after wasting my time in interviews only to discover the companies were run by tight-wads who were offering far below the industry standard (which explained why they were hiring).
If your "religion" demanded that you fire a machine gun into the air for 5 minutes a day, you'd find very little tolerance for it.
Why do you hate Islam?
Not likely. Obama doesn't have the balls. Nor does he have the desire.
They basically lied to her about the function of the app by not telling her that they would be tracking her every move 24/7. When she discovered she was being tracked all the time and her creepy boss was making creepy stalker-like comments about her, she complained, then removed the app. The company would be very smart to settle out of court.
Law enforcement isn't all that dangerous of a job. In fact, it doesn't make the top 10.
It is illegal to hire an H1-B worker if the position can be filled by a legal resident/citizen. You've just admitted that you break the law. So fuck you. Yes, you are evil management. I hope you lose your job, your pension, and your wife fucks the poolboy.
I'm starting to think the only way to stop these companies from wholesale firing so they can replace everyone with cheap H1-B workers is to make them targets for massive cyber attacks. Not that I can do that. It's not my skillset. But if it ever does happen, I'm going to sit back with a big bag of popcorn and laugh my ass off.
Yup. Fark is getting less fun ever day because Drew sold out. The very reason we go to fark is for the outrage and silliness. But all too often a moderator obviously born a Puritan steps in and ruins the fun.
Also, their moderators are idiots. When I called out someone who said something extremely racist and offensive, I got a 24 hour ban. When I complained the fucking moron of a moderator insisted the statement I referred to wasn't racist. Yes it was. It was extremely offensive to Filipino women. I know, because I asked my Filipino niece. Fark either needs to get moderators who aren't racist morons.
Your argument can be summed up with "stop liking what I don't like."
He can cite them all he wants. They don't apply. There is no emergency. Fuck Obama.
You are perfect example of the stupidity that keeps male rape victims from seeking justice.
When women who are raped are treated like trash. When there is, for all intents and purposes, slavery (despite being outlawed). When an accident of birth forever brands you as undesirable and lowly. Then fuck yes, I will dismiss your culture as backwards and inferior. You had that thousand years to become decent. You chose not to.
In a fraction of that time we got rid of slavery. Women have equal rights. Rapists and child molesters are tossed in prison and outcast by the majority of people. A person born low can rise up to become head of a corporation.
So go fuck yourself.
Earlier this week I put in a request for pen-testing a new server I had completed. I think it's secure, but that isn't my area of expertise, so I have the experts kick the shit out of my server to see if anything falls over.
I was thinking about upgrading and figured I'd wait until the S6 was available, but those two flaws make it a deal breaker.
This is clearly another case of too many mad scientists, and not enough hunchbacks.

The encoder/decoder design for spectrum-encoded optical CDMA systems uses waveguide circuits monolithically integrated on one chip to fulfill essential encoding and decoding functions. The integrated device functions as a 1×2 wavelength selective Mach-Zehnder interferometer switch to encode the input broadband light source and to decode the transmitted spectrally encoded signals. The device comprises a frontal 3-dB coupler, a double-ended arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG), and arrays of thermooptic phase shifters and attenuators, together with their symmetric images reflected from the high-reflection coated facet, to realize all required functionality. The thermooptic phase shifters and attenuators are programmable through electronic interface to realize programmable encoding and decoding capabilities. The attenuators are used to equalize the powers and to increase the ON/OFF extinction ratio of all spectral chips.
1. A spectral encoder/decoder, comprising:
a directional coupler;
an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) optically coupled to the directional coupler, wherein the AWG is configured to receive first and second output signals from the directional coupler, and to output the first and second output signals as first and second sets of individual spectral components, respectively;
a phase controller optically coupled to the AWG for selectively imparting a phase shift on the individual spectral components output by the AWG; and
a redirector for redirecting the first and second set of individual spectral components back through the AWG and the directional coupler;
wherein the directional coupler, AWG, phase controller and redirector are arranged in a wavelength selective Mach-Zehnder interferometer switch configuration.

(1) Field of the Invention
This invention relates to optical telecommunication technology, particularly to an optical spectral encoder/decoder for a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) communication system.
(2) Brief Description of the Related Art
Fiber-optics communication links are gaining great popularity because the transmission medium has a comparatively unlimited bandwidth and excellent attenuation properties.
In a broadcast and select communication system, it is desirable that a number of end-user stations be able to interconnect their respective communication links through a common bus. This ability is known as multiple access. Two common multiple access systems are the time division multiple access (TDMA) and the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). In a TDMA system, each user is assigned a time slot. In a CDMA system, each user is assigned a special code. Signals are separated using a correlator that accepts only signal energy from the key variable binary (sequence) code used at the transmitter.
An optical CDMA (O-CDMA) system is amenable to optical communication, because the codes can be represented by different wavelengths (colors) of light. Signals can be spectrum-encoded.
Recently there has been considerable interest in CDMA systems as an efficient protocol for local area broadcast networks. Both coherent and incoherent systems have been investigated. Coherent approaches require pico- or femtosecond pulsed lasers and phase detection systems that are generally complex, expensive, and cumbersome. Several different incoherent schemes have been proposed and demonstrated, some of which implemented bipolar coding as used in radio frequency CDMA and spread spectrum systems. The most successful incoherent systems employ complementary spectral keying (CSK), in which one spectral pattern is transmitted for data "1" and the complementary pattern is transmitted for data "0". CSK is a very powerful and general modulation technique that, independent of the particular coding structure used, can provide significant noise immunity and signal to noise ratio improvements. Although our discussion here is based on using a broadband incoherent source, CSK can also use coherent sources, either a short pulsed laser or an array of CW laser sources. To date most implementations of CSK, including CDMA, have used free-space bulk optics, and are not compatible with the compact packaging requirements, stability, and integration needed by telecommunications industry. In this invention, we present a design for an integrated, programmable, CSK encoder/decoder in a compact reflective symmetric structure as a new device for optical CDMA application.
The first bipolar coding technique applied to an incoherent spectrum-encoded optical CDMA system was demonstrated by James Young's group at Rice University. (Young, et al, U.S. Pat. No. 5,760,941) (FIG. 3)
FIG. 3 shows the basic spectral encoder/decoder of the present invention. As an encoder, a super-fluorescent fiber source (SFS) of light 50 is incident on a spectral demultiplexer (an optical grating in this case) 51, which spreads the light into a band 52 of light of different wavelengths (colors). The light band 52 is reflected by a first mirror 55 to pass through a coded mask 53. The mask 53 allows certain wavelengths of the reflected light from the mirror 55 to be transmitted and other wavelengths of light to be reflected. The transmitted wavelengths are reflected by a second mirror 54 and focused on the spectral multiplexer (grating) 51 to generate a single light beam 56 as spectral code for digital 1's. The reflected wavelengths from the mask 53 are reflected by the first mirror 55 and focused on the grating 51 to generate a single light beam 57 as spectral code for digital 0's. These digital codes are modulated
FIG. 3 can also be used as a decoder. In this case, the incident light 50 for an encoder is replaced as an incoming signal, which is coded. The functions of the rest of the components are the same as that for an encoder. Only the incoming coded signal which correlates with the code of the mask 53 can yield 1's output as ray 56 and 0's output as ray 57.
The use of bulky optics introduces mismatch problems among encoder and decoder that affects the correlation detection process, such as the resolution and precision of the gratings, coding masks, etc.
In this invention, we utilize the planar lightwave circuit technology to implement an integrated device for this application. We will use the above system as an example to explain our concept, our invention is suitable for other types of systems stated above as well. The essential components for all required functions of a typical O-CDMA encoder/decoder can be described in FIGS . 1-2.
FIGS. 1-2 show the basic components and system of an O-CDMA system. FIG. 1 shows an O-CDMA encoding scheme. A broadband light source 10 is incident on an array waveguide grating (AWG) 11 to spread the light source into many different colors. Since the light source intensity throughout the spectrum may not be uniform, the different color lights from the grating 11 are equalized in intensity by the attenuators 12 before passing through the coded mask 13 (indicated as "Encoding Control"). The coded mask 13 transmits certain wavelengths of light and reflects other wavelengths of light. The transmitted wavelengths may represent digital 1's and the reflected wavelengths may represent digital 0's. Each set of 1's light is focused by grating 14 to generate a single light beam 16, which has a spectral code for digital "1". The set of 0's light is focused by a grating 15 to generate a single light beam 17 for spectral code "0". The output of the digital communication signal is done through the section and transmission of either a "1" signal or a "0" signal for each clock cycle. This splitting into two groups is referred to as a 1×2 switch. These two groups of spectral codes are alternately switched (modulated) with digital data 19 in a high-speed switch (modulator) 18. The output of the high speed switch 18 the coded signal 20 sent out to be transmitted.
At a receiving station, the coded signal can be decoded as shown in FIG. 2. The coded signal 30 irradiates a spectral demultiplexer 31 to spread the signal into different wavelengths. The different color signals pass through a coded mask 33, which correlates the incoming signal with the particular code of the mask 33. Certain wavelength components of the correlated signal are transmitted as digital 1's in one path. Other wavelength components are transmitted as digital 0's in another path. The 1's signals are combined on a spectral multiplexer 34 to generate a light beam 36 for spectral code "1". The 0's signals are combined by another multiplexer 35 to generate a light beam 37 for spectral code "0". The 1′ light beam 36 irradiates a photodiode P1. The 0's light beam 37 irradiates a photodiode P2. The outputs of P1 and P2 are fed to a balanced detector 38, which yields a data output 40. Any uncorrelated signals appear as a noise and is canceled by the balanced detector 38.
The scheme presented in FIGS. 1-2 offers a bipolar signaling transmission for optical CDMA systems. However, using individual gratings, attenuators and switches will make devices too complex to be integrated. We take advantage of the symmetric structures and realize the encoder/decoder in the description of the invention.
An object of this invention is to integrate an O-CDMA system on a monolithic chip. Another object of this invention is to produce uniform spectral amplitude in the processing the optical signal of un-uniform spectrum. Still another object of this invention is to provide programmable capability of the O-CDMA system. A further object of this invention is to provide a combined optical multiplexer/demultiplexer for encoding and decoding for at least one optical signal.
These objects are achieved by using the same AWG both for the incoming signal and the outgoing signal. An incoming full spectrum signal is split into two paths by a 3-dB coupler. The signal in each path is decomposed into numerous spectral components and correlated with a coded mask. A phase-shifter is inserted in every one of the paths. The split signals are then reflected by a common mirror. The two reflected signals are then combined to form a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) switch. The interference of the phase-shifted signal in one path and the signal without phase-shift in the other path yield spectral code for digital "1" or "0". After digitization by the MZI switch, the spectral components make another pass at the same AWG to be focused to yield single output beam.

FIG. 6(b) shows the improvement of the performance of a MZI switch with balancing attenuators built-in.

The complete system as shown in FIG. 4 comprises a circulator 61, a 3 dB coupler 62, a single doubled ended AWG 63A/63B, an array of thermooptic phase-shifters 621 and tunable attenuators 622, and a coated, reflecting surface 64/65. The circulator allows the signal to transmit only in one direction. The 3-dB coupler 62 divides the signal into two paths. The double-ended AWG 63A/63B functions as described in connection with FIG. 2 to decompose the input broadband light source into individual spectral components. Each spectral component then passes through a thermooptic phase shifter. The thermooptic phase-shifters 621 and attenuator 622 can adjust the phase-shift and the attenuation thermal-optically. The reflecting surface 64/65 creates virtual counterparts from the real counterparts of the incident image. The whole structure and its image form a large Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) with an AWG, phase shifters, and tunable attenuators in each arm as shown in FIG. 5a. The attenuator 622 is tunable by thermooptic means to equalize the power of each spectral component when the input broadband source is not spectrally uniform. By adjusting the heating power of the phase-shifter on the MZI, the amount of optical power lost to the dump port 623 can be controlled. All operations of the phase-shifters/attenuators are easily achieved with programmable electronic circuits.
Our present invention of a spectral encoder/decoder consists of only one AWG MUX/DEMUX and arrays of 3-dB directional couplers with thermooptic phase shifters. By utilizing the mirror symmetric structure reflected on the gold coated facet at one side, shown in FIG. 4, one can construct a multi-channel 1×2 wavelength selective Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) switch with tunable attenuator array to fulfill the programmable encoding/decoding function for spectral encoded CDMA application. A broadband spectrum source sent into the device is first divided into two parts by input 3-dB coupler and decomposed into individual spectral bands after passing the AWG. Each spectral band then passes through a thermooptic phase shifter and a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) utilizing the reflection from the facet. Each MZI is designed to be a bar-state to pass and reflect a wavelength component back to the same waveguide. By adjusting the electric power of the heater on one arm, one can control the optic power loss to the cross-port, performing the tunable attenuation function These spectral bands are multiplexed when passed through the AWG again, and each of them beats, at the 3-dB coupler, with its counter-part coming back from the other MZI arm. According to the phase difference adjusted at each phase shifter, these wavelength components can be selectively switched to the output A port or B post and thus form the spectral patterns (codes) for "0" and "1". The programmable functionality is readily achieved by changing the electric powers on all phase shifters in millisecond time period.
A decoder based on correlation detection uses the same functional design. Received signals are demultiplexed into spectral bits, and grouped by the switches, which are now set to correspond to the spectral patterns for data "1" and data "0" from the desired user. (Attenuators are not generally needed but can be used to balance component characteristics.) The two spectral groups are recombined in MUXs and detected by separate photodetectors. These two spectra will generally not be complementary because of the mix of users and data in the received signals. The detectors are arranged in a balanced configuration, and the subtraction of the detector currents produces a bipolar electrical signal used to estimate the transmitted bit based on a threshold operation.
There are several desirable features of this proposed design. First, by applying the planar lightwave circuit (PLC) technology, spectral encoding and decoding functions can be realized by a monolithically integrated PLC chip. The compactness of this design provides the ease to mass production of these devices. Second, the mirror symmetric structure resulted from the reflective design allows one AWG to be reused for both wavelength MUX and DEMUX functions. This eliminates the problem of spectral misalignment due to fabrication errors in multiple-AWG configurations. The number of necessary 3-dB couplers and electric power required to operate TO phase shifters are both reduced by half Third, this design can improve the switching extinction of each spectral component by balancing the split power as well as controlling the phase on each arm of the MZI. This is obvious since there are a phase shifter and a tunable attenuator on each interferometer arm. The mirror reflective structure makes it possible to construct a multi-channel MZI switch for all spectral components with one front-end 3-dB coupler and one AWG. The imperfect switching extinction between two output ports of a MZI switch, primarily due to the splitting ratio imbalances of different 3-dB couplers, can now be reduced to just the effect of a single 3-dB coupler. This design is also applicable to other type of PLC devices that require the function of multi-channel space switching capability, since it is possible to make a perfect 3-dB coupler, through UV trimming, for all channels in one process step.
In a MZI switch as shown in FIG. 5a, a signal 620 is split into two paths 620 a and 620 b. FIG. 5a shows a power balanced MZI switch with better switching extinction ratio. The two attenuators 622 a and 622 b are used to adjust the power on each arm according to the splitting ratio of the input and output 3-dB couplers. In so doing, one can have better extinction output ratio than a conventional MZI switch without ideal 3-dB couplers, as shown in FIGS. 6a-6 b. This is an important requirement to generate high extinction spectral chips as stated in our published paper. The upper path 620 a has phase shifters 621 a′, 621 a″ and an attenuator 622 a, but the lower path 620 b does not have the phase shifters such that the signal output at the end of the phase-shifter attenuator of the two paths are out of phase. Due to interference, the output can be digital "1" or "0". The "1" output is fed to a Bar port and the "0" output is fed to a Cross port. As shown in this figure, the phase-shifter attenuator has a symmetrical structure of the input end and the output end. In this invention, the reflecting mirror is placed at the mid-point of the phase-shifter attenuator as shown in FIG. 5b. This arrangement is a folded structure of FIG. 5a along the section line A-A′. Because of the reflection of the mirror, the length of the phase-shifter attenuator can be cut in half. In terms of area, the area on an integrated circuit chip is reduced. Also, the AWG is irradiated by both the incoming light to the phase-shifter/attenuator and the outgoing light reflected by the mirror as explained in connection with FIG. 3. Thus the number of AWG is reduced. Depending on the phase difference set by the phase-shifter, each spectral strip will be switched to output port A or B, thus forming the two complementary spectral patterns or codes.
To examine the functionality of the complex integrated circuits in this design, we utilized wavelength transfer matrix method and calculated the device performance. The integrated spectral encoder/decoder can be separated into individual device elements: the front-end /3-dB coupler, the AWG MUX/DEMUX, the phase shifter array, and the tunable attenuator array. A simple transfer matrix for the input 3-dB coupler is given by
where η is the power splitting ratio of the 3-dB coupler (η=0.5 ideally). The field transmission spectral output of an AWG demultiplexer can be approximately expressed as
where ∂Y/∂λ is the grating linear dispersion on the output focal plane, Δλ is the channel spacing, w0 is half of the waveguide mode field diameter, and Enoise is the crosstalk noise floor. It represents the element in a 1×N DEMUX transfer matrix, Mdemux, where input at center (0th) channel and output at the jth channel. A MUX transfer matrix Mmux is simply the inverse of Mdemux. The matrix of a phase shifter array Mph contains only non-zero diagonal terms, each takes the form exp (iΔφ/2) for one arm and exp (−Δφ/2) for the other of the MZI switch with the phase difference Δφ between these two arms. A diagonal matrix Matm containing the attenuation coefficients (≦1) represents the attenuator array. The encoded output spectral patterns can thus be represented by multiplying the total transfer matrix M3dBMdemuxMphMattnMphMmuxM3dB to the input broadband source.
We considered an 8-bit AWG encoder generating a Hadamard code (10011001) for "1" and it complementary code (01100110) for "0", with 1.6 nm spectral spacing between adjacent bits. These noise floor and loss of the AWG were taken as −25 dB and −4 dB, respectively, relative to the input power. FIG. 7 shows the calculated spectral patterns for codes "1" at output port B and "0" at output port A when input with a flattened source. Assuming the front-end 3-dB coupler has an imperfect splitting ratio of 0.55/0.45 (η=0.55). Without power balance adjustment, by the attenuators, the extinction ratio (FIG. 7(a)) was only around 20 dB between bit 1 and bit 0 for code "0" at output port A. FIG. 7(b) illustrates the case where attenuators are adjusted to balance the powers on the 2nd, 3rd, 6th, and 7th pairs of arms in the MZI switch to maximize the extinction ratio. The extinction ratio was improved to better than 35 dB and was limited by the noise floor of the AWG. One should notice that the noise floor of both output ports are reduced to ˜−46 dB, since the input signal has to pass through the AWG twice to reach the output ports. When transmitted signals reach the decoder, the noise floor will be suppressed twice. Therefore large crosstalk noise of very dense AWG, mainly caused by processing errors, will not affect the encoding/decoding functions of the device. This will further increase the extinction between code bit "1" and "0" decoded at the receiving end, and improves the rejection capability against multiple access interference (MAI) of a serially encoded CDMA system The tunable attenuators can simultaneously adjust the power of each spectral band so that each code bit will have equal bit weight for the decoding correlation process, even when the input light source is not ideally flattened. This ensures better autocorrelation property for different optical codes and increases the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) to support more access users.
While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that. various modifications may be made in the embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, an electro-optic switch/phase shifter can be used in leu of the thermal-optic switch/phase-shifter. Such modifications are all within the scope of this invention.

Santos and DAFF mark World Oceans Day
Santos and the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries marked World Oceans Day alongside the Sarah Baartman - a South African environmental protection vessel - at Cape Town Harbour on Monday. World Oceans Day is the official United Nation's designated international day of celebrating the oceans - and on a glorious morning in the Mother City, a number of Portfolio Committee Members, the Director-General of DAFF; members of the media as well as a group of enthusiastic interns and the Santos DAFF Ambassadors, all listened intently as Minister Senzeni Zokwana delivered a rousing speech. The Honourable Mr Zokwana, who thanked Santos Football Club for partnering with his department for Youth Month, appealed to the youth to play their part in helping to protect the country's oceans and to safeguard their future, before challenging his own staff to increase their efforts in the fight towards food security. He said: "With growing dependence on natural resources, we have to ask ourselves a question: How can we forge an economically viable, environmentally sound and socially responsible vision for the use of the ocean's natural resources without compromising those of future generations?" He added: "One of the biggest challenges that we face in South Africa today is striking a balance between meeting the food security needs of our people while at same time ensuring that the resources they depend on are managed sustainably. "In partnership with Santos, the People's Team, which has now become a food security ambassador, we are encouraging young people to join our efforts to kick off for food security and take up careers in the sector. "We know and have seen how soccer can bring people together and we believe through such a sport, young people can be mobilised to become active participants in the sector and this challenge to address food insecurity." Dr. Kim Prochazka, the Director of Resources Research then presented the report for the status of the South African Marine Fishery Resources which outlined in stark detail the work needed to be done to maintain, improve and recover fish stocks as Santos Chairman Mr Goolam Allie spoke about the importance of nutrition for South Africa's youth. The DAFF Ambassadors, who were also in attendance, namely Tyren Arendse, Suhayl Allie, Sachin Dawood, Sizwe Nyambi and Fagrie Lakay, will. meanwhile, link up with the Minister in Mthatha next week as the Department continues to raise awareness about the importance of food security across the country.

Charles making all the right moves
Santos are delighted to congratulate Junaid Charles for his achievements in being selected for the Under 21 Regional team. The 17-year-old attacking midfielder, who has come up through the ranks at the Santos academy, beat off a host of competition to be chosen for the 18-man squad. Only players who played the recently completed SAB League season were eligible for selection. The players will now take part in a regional competition in Beaufort West where the Provincial squad will be scouted. Charles, who recently completed his first season in the SAB League, is an talented young central midfielder who can hurt opposition defences from out wide as well. And speaking to thepeoplesteam.co.za after training, the excited young man said: "The trials were tough but I enjoyed it. The coaches just told us just to express ourselves. "I made it through the Friday cut off and then Saturday and eventually I made it down to the 18 man squad. "I am happy because it shows for me that I am progressing. It is what I am working towards; to one day become a professional soccer player." He added: "I must just keep on working hard." By Trevor Kramer
