This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/279,416, entitled "45B/50B: A Low Overhead Encoding Scheme for High-Speed Serial Links", filed Mar. 28, 2001, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
1. Field of Invention
The invention relates generally to a method and system for encoding data that is transmitted over a serial link.
2. Description of Related Art
Data in communication systems is often encoded before being serialized and transmitted over serial links. Encoding can increase the transition density of the serial stream and assure the DC-balance of the serial stream. Transition density refers to the rate of transitions from zero to one and from one to zero in the serial bit stream. A high rate of transition is required so that the electrical component receiving the serial stream can accurately recover the bits in the serial stream. The transitions aid the receiver in deducing the bit alignment of the serial stream. DC-balance refers to having an equal number of ones and zeros in the serial stream on average. Having DC-balance is helpful because optical lasers used for communication operate effectively when the serial stream they are transmitting is DC-balanced.
An example of a serial link encoding scheme is the 8B/10B encoding standard that is used in Gigabit Ethernet (GE). In this scheme, user data bytes are encoded into 10-bit values prior to being sent over the serial link. These 10-bit values are called data characters. A number of 10-bit control characters are defined to indicate control information in the data stream. Control characters are used in communication systems to indicate control information in the data stream such as the start of a data packet, the end of a data packet or that the communication link is not in use. Control characters can be differentiated from data characters, used to represent the user data, because the two types of characters take on different values. The 8B/10B encoding scheme assures DC-balance and good transition density when the data stream is serialized. The maximum run-length in 8B/10B encoding is five bits. A drawback to using the 8B/10B encoding scheme is the high bandwidth overhead incurred in the encoding process. The overhead of 8B/10B encoding is twenty-five percent. This high overhead wastes a large portion of the available bandwidth on the serial link.
Another serial link encoding scheme is the 64B/66B encoding scheme. It was developed as part of the ten Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) standard to convert four 8B/10B encoded data streams, each with a bit rate of 3.125 gigabits per second, into a single data stream with a bit rate of 10.3125 gigabits per second. Each of the 8B/10B encoded data streams has an overhead of twenty-five percent while the single 64B/66B data stream has an overhead of 3.125%. In the 64B/66B encoding scheme, scrambling and a guaranteed bit transition every 66 bits are used to ensure adequate transition density and DC-balance. Compared to the 8B/10B encoding scheme, the 64B/66B encoding scheme has lower overhead. The 64B/66B encoding scheme, however, has transition density and DC-balance properties that are not as good as the 8B/10B encoding scheme.
Another protocol with provisions for serializing a byte-wide data stream is the Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) standard. In SONET, a scrambling polynomial is applied to the data stream in order to achieve acceptable DC-balance and transition density. Important events in the data stream are indicated by overhead bytes. The overhead bytes are assigned particular locations within the fixed-size SONET frame. The SONET frames are delineated by a fixed-sequence of framing bytes. SONET has the advantage of not having any encoding overhead since scrambling is used and the overhead bytes are in fixed locations. However, because the overhead bytes must be present in each SONET frame, the overhead bytes do represent wasted bandwidth in frames where they are not used. In addition, SONET has a poorer guaranteed transition density compared to the 8B/10B and 64B/66B encoding schemes, and its DC-balance is not as good as that of the 8B/10B encoding scheme.
An exemplary embodiment of the invention is a method for encoding data into a 48B/50B format for transmission over a serial link. A data stream that includes characters is received and segmented into a six-character block. The block of six characters is translated into a 50-bit byte frame in 48B/50B format. A 48-bit word is created from the block of six characters by encoding the characters contained in the block. The 48-bit word is scrambled and a 2-bit synchronization sequence is appended to the scrambled 48-bit word. The result is the 50-bit byte frame in 48B/50B format. An alternate embodiment of the present invention includes a method for decoding data from the 48B/50B format. Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given hereinbelow and the accompanying drawings which are given by way of illustration only, and thus are not limitative of the present invention, and wherein:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an exemplary system that includes a 48B/50B encoder and a 48B/50B decoder;
FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an exemplary encoding process;
FIG. 3 depict the transformation of a data stream into an exemplary 48B/50B format when the encoding process shown in FIG. 2 is applied; and
FIG. 4 is flowchart of an exemplary decoding process.
The following detailed description of the invention refers to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numbers in different drawings identify the same or similar elements. Also, the following detailed description does not limit the invention. Instead, the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
An exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes an encoding scheme, referred to as the 48B/50B encoding scheme, for data transmission over serial links. In an exemplary embodiment, the 48B/50B format includes a 50-bit byte frame that contains six 8-bit words and two synchronization sequence bits.
Referring to FIG. 1, a data stream 102 is input into an exemplary 48B/50B encoder 104. The data stream is encoded, using the steps outlined in FIG. 2, steps 202 through 208, into an exemplary 48B/50B format. The result of the 48B/50B encoding process is a 50-bit byte frame that is transmitted to an FEC encoder device 106 that performs forward error correction (FEC). The output from the FEC encoder 106 is input into a serializer 108. Alternately, the FEC and 48B/50B encoding functions could be performed using different circuitry or software in the same device. The serializer 108 can be any one that is known in the art. In an exemplary embodiment, the serializer 108 is a Gigabit Ethernet (GE) serializer or a 10GE serializer both of which have bus widths equal to ten bits. The output from the serializer 108 is then sent across a serial link 110. The data is received at the other end of the serial link 110 by a receiving deserializer 112. The output from the deserializer 112 is then input to a frame aligner 114 with the output from the frame aligner being input into a FEC decoder 116. The output from the FEC decoder 116 is input into a 48B/50B decoder 118. These three blocks, the frame aligner 114, the FEC decoder 116, and the 48B/50B decoder 118, perform the steps outlined in FIG. 4. The output from the 48B/50B decoder 118 is a data stream 120 containing groups of six characters.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an exemplary embodiment of an encoding process used to produce output in 48B/50B format. FIG. 2 also depicts FEC encoding and then transmitting the data. The encoding process encodes a data stream, including user data in byte form and control characters, prior to transmission over a serial link. The user data is referred to as data characters. The process depicted in FIG. 2 segments a data stream into groups of six characters and then translates these character groups into 50-bit words, called byte frames, in 48B/50B format. These byte frames are then FEC encoded and transmitted to a receiver. The process of 48B/50B encoding begins at step 202 by reading the next six characters from the input data stream 102. The characters can be a mix of control characters and data characters or the characters can be all control characters or all data characters.
At step 204, the six characters are encoded which includes byte reordering and control character encoding or mapping. The control characters are mapped into 8-bit control words and the data characters are kept in byte form as 8-bit data words. As part of the encoding, all control words are moved to the beginning of the group while maintaining their relative relationship to each other. In an exemplary embodiment, each control character in the input data stream 102 is mapped into an 8-bit control word which indicates its position within the group, the control character instruction, and whether the next word is an encoded control word or an encoded data word. Many control character mapping schemes can be used with embodiments of the present invention. One example of a control character mapping scheme is to use the lower three bits of the 8-bit control word to indicate the position of the control word within the group, the next bit to indicate whether the next word is an encoded control word and the remaining four bits to indicate the type of control character. Another example of a control character mapping scheme is to use the lower three bits of the 8-bit control word to indicate the position of the control word within the group, the next two bits to identify the type of control character, the next bit to indicate whether the next word is an encoded control word and to leave the remaining two bits unused. After the characters have been mapped into 8-bit words and the words reordered, the group of six words comprise an encoded 48-bit word and step 204 is complete.
At step 206, the 48-bit word is scrambled to assure good DC-balance and transition density. Scrambling is used to break up long runs of binary zeros or ones that may exist when the data stream is serialized. In an exemplary embodiment, scrambling is performed by applying the output of a scrambler circuit to each data bit in the 48-bit word. The output of the scrambler can be updated every bit time and can be based on a polynomial. Any scrambler polynomial that is known in the art can be used as long as it has good randomization properties. In an exemplary embodiment, the 48B/50B encoding scheme utilizes the scrambler used in SONET systems which is based on the polynomial 1+x6+x7.
At step 208, a 2-bit synchronization sequence (SS) is appended to the scrambled 48-bit word (e.g., at the beginning of the 48-bit word) in order to form a 50-bit word. This 50-bit word is referred to as a byte frame. The synchronization sequence is used to indicate whether the byte frame contains any control words. In an exemplary embodiment, a sequence value of "10" indicates that the byte frame contains at least one control word and a value of "01" indicates that the byte frame does not contain any control words. In the event that the byte frame contains control words, decoding as described in FIG. 4 is performed at the decoder. In an exemplary embodiment, the synchronization sequence also provides at least one bit value transition every fifty-one bits, therefore limiting the run-length of the serial stream to fifty bits. Once the synchronization sequence is appended, the 48B/50B encoding process is complete and step 210 is performed, in an exemplary embodiment, to FEC encode the 50-bit byte frame. Step 212 is then performed to transmit the 50-bit byte frame and in an exemplary embodiment, the 50-bit byte frame is transmitted to a serializer.
FIG. 3 illustrates the transformation of an exemplary data stream into a 50-bit byte frame in 48B/50B format when the encoding process shown in FIG. 2, steps 202 through 208 are applied. Characters 302 represent the result of segmenting a data stream 102 into a group of six characters as described in reference to step 202 of FIG. 2. The exemplary data stream contains three data characters denoted as D1, D2, and D3. The exemplary data stream also contains three control characters denoted as K1, K2, and K3. When the characters 302 have been encoded, as described in reference to step 204 in FIG. 2, the result is a 48-bit word 304 made up of six eight-bit words. The three control characters K1, K2, and K3 have been moved to the beginning of the 48-bit word and as a result, the three data characters have been moved to the end of the 48-bit word. In addition, each control character has been encoded using a control character mapping scheme into an 8-bit control word and each data character has been stored in an 8-bit data word. The 8-bit control words are denoted as K1′, K2′, and K3′ and the 8-bit data words as D1, D2 and D3 in 48-bit word 304. A scrambled 48-bit word 306 is the result of performing the scrambling described in reference to step 206 in FIG. 2. The words are depicted with an "S" prefix to indicate that they have been scrambled. Byte frame 308 contains a 50-bit byte frame that is the result of adding a 2-bit synchronization sequence as described in reference to step 208 in FIG. 2. Byte frame 308 contains an exemplary 50-bit word that is in 48B/50B format as a result of applying steps 202 through 208 described in reference to FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is flowchart of an exemplary decoding process that is performed after the 50-bit byte frame has been received by a deserializer. At step 402, byte frame alignment is performed so that the user data can be extracted from the byte frame. In an exemplary embodiment, the regular appearance of the synchronization sequence every fifty bits can be used to achieve byte frame alignment. At step 404, FEC decoding is performed on the byte frame if FEC encoding had been performed on the byte frame by the sender. The synchronization sequence bits are checked at step 406 to see if the byte frame contains control words. The synchronization sequence bits are then stripped away from the byte frame. Descrambling is performed at step 408 using a descrambler that corresponds to the scrambler used at step 206 in FIG. 2. Next, at step 410, the words are decoded to restore the group of six characters to their original order and values as shown at 302. Decoding is completed and at step 412 the group of six characters is transmitted to a recipient.
In an exemplary embodiment, as shown at step 210 in FIG. 2, a FEC scheme can be applied to the output from the encoding process before the 50-bit byte frame in 48B/50B format is sent to a serializer. The use of FEC with the present invention is optional. FEC can be used to provide error detection and correction capabilities on the link. Many different FEC schemes exist, each having different data and parity block lengths which provide different levels of error protection. An exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes an FEC scheme that is easy to interface to the 48B/50B encoder output bus. An exemplary FEC scheme consists of a one-error BCH correcting code. This exemplary FEC scheme corrects single bit errors and detects two-bit errors. It also calculates a 10-bit parity block for every 500-bits of data. The use of these FEC data and parity block lengths makes it easier to interface the FEC logic to the 48B/50B encoder/decoder and serializer/deserializer. One reason is that ten byte frames fit evenly into the 500-bit FEC data block. Another reason is that the lengths of the FEC data and parity blocks are integer multiples of the serializer/deserializer input bus width. Other FEC schemes are possible which are well matched to the 48B/50B encoder and serializer/deserializer bus widths. Other FEC schemes as known in the art can be used with an embodiment of the present invention.
The 48B/50B encoding scheme achieves good DC-balance and transition properties. In addition, it provides support for control characters at any location within the data stream and it has a low overhead cost of 4.2 percent. An advantage of the present invention is realized by setting the byte frame length to fifty bits. This insures that a 48B/50B formatted serial stream can be recovered by a serializer/deserializer receiver which supports SONET bit streams. Serializer/deserializer receivers that support SONET are designed to perform recovery on bit streams with maximum run lengths of seventy bits. Since the maximum run length of an exemplary embodiment of the 48B/50B encoding scheme is fifty bits, a 48B/50B format encoded bit stream has better guaranteed transition density than a SONET bit stream. The 48B/50B encoded bit stream also has better transition density than that of 64B/66B because 64B/66B only guarantees a transition every sixty-seven bits.
Another advantage of using 50-bit byte frames is that they map evenly into the 10-bit interface of commercial serializer/deserializer devices. On the encoding side, the 50-bit byte frame can be multiplexed onto the 10-bit serializer bus easily. This is contrasted to the 64B/66B encoding scheme used for 10GE, where a gearbox circuit is needed to multiplex a series of 66-bit byte frames onto the same bus for 64B/66B encoding. The use of a 50-bit byte frame reduces the complexity and gate count of the circuit which interfaces the output of the encoder to the serializer.
The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.

No man with such a fundamental misunderstanding of modern American history should be deciding the fate of a new group of civilians.
Inconsistency makes the US moral argument against chemical weapons difficult to make -- not because it isn't immoral, but because the US is inclined to latch on to the argument only when it's in its national interest to do so.
If we start bombing Syria, we are potentially committing ourselves to a deeper level of involvement than the administration is now acknowledging.
It is easy to overstate what a mission, even if undertaken for the noblest and most honest of reasons, can achieve.

The long-tail effects of chemical weapons continue to plague Iraq today, burdening a decimated health care system, and providing horrifying visual fodder for extremists who would incite hatred against the West.
On April 9, 2003, Marine Cpl. Edward Chin was the focus of television cameras worldwide when he was broadcast draping a large rope around the neck of ...
Iraq today is a dysfunctional state beset by violent civil strife, a direct result of the American decision to enter the country without attention to its history and culture and, therefore, unable to understand the consequences of our intervention.

North Stonington — In their first public reaction to the U.S. government's proposed reform of the federal recognition process for Indian tribes, the Eastern Pequots say they're "outraged" by a provision that would enable third parties to prevent them from re-applying for recognition.
The proposed revisions, released three weeks ago by Kevin Washburn, the Department of the Interior's assistant secretary for Indian affairs, would, in certain cases, allow tribes that have been denied recognition to reapply under new regulations that some consider less stringent.
Third parties that participated in an administrative reconsideration or federal court appeal of a previous petition for recognition would have to consent in writing to a re-petitioning.
The Easterns were federally recognized in 2002, but the decision was reversed in 2005 following an appeal by the state and more than 20 towns, including North Stonington, Ledyard and Preston.
"The Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation appreciates the BIA's proposed reform efforts but is outraged at the 'third party veto,'" the Easterns said in a statement issued late Wednesday. "EPTN believes the veto undermines the very intent of the proposed regulations to fix the 'broken process.'"
State and local officials have opposed the rules changes, fearing they could ease the path to recognition for a number of tribal groups, including three state-recognized tribes that have tried and failed to gain recognition in the past: the Easterns, the Kent-based Schaghticokes and the Golden Hill Paugussetts of Trumbull and Colchester.
Federal recognition, or acknowledgment, can entitle a tribe to sovereign status, federal aid for housing, education and health care and the right to have land taken into trust for casino development.
The Interior Department is conducting tribal consultations and public meetings on the proposed revisions during July, with the only meeting in the Northeast scheduled for 8:30 a.m. to noon July 29 in Mashpee, Mass. Comments are due Aug. 1 at email@example.com.
In the Easterns' statement, Dennis Jenkins, chairman of the tribal council, said, "The tribe will continue to fight to regain the acknowledgment that was politically taken from us. We will always be Pequots regardless of the state's efforts to eradicate us."

"Wonderful Waves" Top 5 Page for this destination Mevagissey Off The Beaten Path Tip by Geoff_Wright
Mevagissey Off The Beaten Path: 2 reviews and 2 photos
Nowhere in Mevagissey can really be classed as 'Off the beaten path'. But do walk out to the Lighthouse (more of a light beacon really), on the Southern breakwater, and look at the waves along the Cornish Coastline. Since my last visit to Mevagissey there has been some rebuilding here, and it is now possible to access the outer part of the breakwater. Lots of rod fishermen here too.
Don't venture too close to the edge; it looks quite dangerous if you should fall!

Some 5 years before the making of this film the same team behind it wrote
and directed series (season) 1 and 2 of an offbeat UK sitcom named
Massively overlooked at the time of broadcast yet with a hardcore fan base
of loyal devotees a third series was long overdue but never did
Shaun of the Dead is the continuation of what went before; of a similar format yet in a completely new setting, with new characters, plus new cast members and for the first time a feature-length run time for the big screen. So how does it play out? Even with such a departure from the original setting, the history of TV to cinema adaptations is a dodgy one to say the least. Fortunately for those of us who already fans or (more likely) if you've never seen the series before prepare to be impressed.
The style is all it's own. With inventive direction and editing making the visual impact which fans will instantly recognise, to the writing which importantly is firstly genuinely funny, interspersed with references to popular culture of the past two decades, always with a self-knowing grin, a wink to the viewer rather than a pretentious nod. And of course several self-references and in-jokes of the TV series all fill in the gaps between the tastefully presented killings. There is blood, after all this is a "rom-zom-com" or "romantic zombie comedy" - a self-proclaimed new genre and rightly so. This is as about as original as it gets. They actually manage to pull off humour, violence, decapitations, action, romance, suspense, sadness and joy all within the space of 90 minutes!
This is the best film I've seen in ages, and a real credit to British film, we already knew about "Fried Gold", now the rest of the World can see it too. An instant classic.

From start to finish, the service was great! The location at 6th Ave and W. 57th is prime for walking to Carnegie Hall, Times Square, Broadway, the Metropolitan Park, shopping and most points of interest. The subway is nearby as are many great eateries and grocers. The room was very clean and comfortable but snug, the sitting area designed for just one person. Woodlike floors, with just one throw rug made the air seem fresher/cleaner. There was a small fridge, you-buy-it-if-you-lift-it minibar, and coffeemaker. Room service was by nearby restaurant deliver as there was no bar or standard food service in the hotel. However, the included continental breakfast was an unexpected treat with a large array of fruits, coffees, juices, breads, cereals, and even quiche.

The original Zionist kibbutz settlement

|Emek HaYarden
|Kibbutz Movement
|Founded by
|Jewish pioneers
|Population (2014)[1]
Degania Alef (Hebrew: דְּגַנְיָה א', D'ganya Alef) is a kibbutz in northern Israel. It falls under the jurisdiction of the Emek HaYarden Regional Council. Degania was Israel's first kvutza, a communal settlement smaller than a kibbutz. It was established in 1909 in Ottoman Palestine.[2] Degania Alef and its neighbour Degania Bet both lie between the southern shore of the Sea of Galilee and the Jordan River. In 2014 it had a population of 524.
The name means "cornflower"[3] and is derived from "dagan", meaning "grain".[4] After the first phase at Umm Junieh, the group and its settlement was simply called Degania, "Alef" being added only after the establishment of the associated kibbutzim of Degania Bet and Gimel. Alef, Bet and Gimel are the first letters of the Hebrew alphabet and carry the numeral values 1, 2 and 3.
Degania Alef was the first kvutza established by Zionist pioneers in Palestine, then under Ottoman rule. It was founded by a group of ten men and two women at a place known in Arabic as Umm Junieh or Umm Juni. Degania Bet was established to the south in 1920.[5]
The poet Rachel Bluwstein, the "prophet of labor" A. D. Gordon, and Joseph Trumpeldor all worked at Degania Alef. Gideon Baratz was the first child born on the kibbutz and Moshe Dayan was the second. Dayan was named after Moshe Barsky, the first kibbutz member killed in an Arab attack.[6] Barsky was killed in November 1913. He was alone in the kibbutz fields when he was shot in the back and left for dead by Arab marauders.[7]
By 1947 Degania Alef had a population of 380.
On May 20, 1948, during the Battles of the Kinarot Valley, in one of the first battles of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, the residents of Degania Alef and Bet, assisted by a small number of military personnel, repelled a Syrian attack and succeeded in halting the advance of the Syrian army into the Jordan Valley.[5] During the attack Degania Alef was completely destroyed by the Syrian army.[8] According to a 1949 book by the Jewish National Fund, the village was destroyed following attacks on the neighboring kibbutzim of Sha'ar HaGolan and Masada. The settlers resisted, however, and launched a counter-attack which helped to recover the neighboring settlements. Reconstruction started almost immediately.[4]
In 2007, Degania Alef moved to undergo privatization."[9] Instead of assigned jobs and equal pay under the former communal economy, the reorganization requires members to find employment, live on their income, and allows them to own their homes, but still offers a form of a social "safety net" supplement for members whose livelihood is inadequate to meet their expenses. This move to privatization was chronicled in Yitzhak Rubin's 2008 documentary, Degania: The First Kibbutz Fights Its Last Battle.
In 1981, Kvutza Degania Alef was awarded the Israel Prize, for its special contribution to society and the State in social pioneering.[10]

Proyecto Ceibal: Uruguay's project for OLPC deployment
Paw Prints: Writings of the maddog
Last week I was in Montevideo, Uruguay. While there I visited the people who are rolling out the deployment of the XO (nee OLPC) systems, named "Proyecto Ceibal".
Ceibal's office was located in an incubator where small businesses are started. Project Ceibal occupied two locations in the series of "incubator" buildings. Uruguay is very serious about deploying the laptops, and today the project is deploying about 1,600 laptops per day. They believe that the first wave of laptops will be completely deployed by the end of 2009 (the country of Uruguay has a population of 3,460,607 people according to a July 2007 estimation).
Along with the notebooks, of course, is the deployment of servers and Internet connectivity. Some servers support up to 1000 laptops, others as few as five. One teacher reported that before the project brought the laptops to his five students, there was no electricity in the village, not even a light bulb. Now the parents of the children are also coming to the school to "connect to the Internet" for the information they need.
Proyecto Ceibal has rooms of people who are performing tasks such as assembling and testing access points and antennas. Other rooms have people planning placement of those access points and antennas to assure line-of-sight radio over long distances, and good WiFi coverage throughout the rooms of a school. Still more rooms have a group of support people, who can remotely monitor the servers and laptops seeing if they are still working properly. If not, they try to log in and fix the problem, or dispatch a person to a potentially far-flung village to help get the system(s) back on-line.
Proyecto Ceibal is busy trying to figure out how to remotely administer and support all these servers. Part of the problem is that download speeds are fairly high, but upload speeds are relatively small. The budgets of these small schools do not allow for the larger update speeds.
Despite some issues, the Ceibal people keep delivering laptops to children.comments powered by Disqus

It's the end of an era for a social service provider but it's hoped a new partnership will benefit people desperate for help.
Auckland City Mission's stand-alone food bank in Otahuhu closed its doors yesterday after 16 years in the area.
Instead, the mission is partnering with other South Auckland organisations to provide relief and assist them with food parcels, equipment, expertise and social work support.
Mission chief operating officer Jacki Richardson says restructuring the service was a result of investigating the needs of the people in the area.
A study titled the Family 100 Research Project followed 100 people for a year, focusing on issues like income, unemployment, health, social services and housing.
"Feedback from our clients revealed how time-consuming, complex and costly they found the process to access support from the maze of social service providers. This prompted us to reflect on how we could improve the situation," Richardson says.
"Working in partnership with other community organisations to create more integrated services seemed the solution."
One of the partners is Mangere's Nga Whare Waatea marae. It has been working with the organisation since December last year.
"The partnership . . . has worked extremely well and we are looking forward to establishing further partnerships," Richardson says.
Marae food bank co-ordinator Marama Davis says the new initiative is delivering much-needed support.
"There have been weeks where we've had a minimal number of people use the service and weeks where there have been huge amounts . . . it's giving us more hands-on interaction with people.
"We've had a number of families who share their stories with us and for a lot of them their problems have stemmed from weeks prior or months prior and we look at them and think, 'how have you managed'."
City Mission team leader Neil Denney says the South Auckland closure brings mixed emotions.
"We're sad we're leaving Otahuhu but pleased to offer a bigger range of services . . . having to come here just for food didn't make sense and cost people money to do that. We needed to provide more economical services."
Papakura Marae, Middlemore Hospital and Starship Children's Hospital are among the organisations involved in the new partnership.
Call Nga Whare Waatea marae on 277 7866 for more information.

Missunderstood Fool- Katherine Degroot

"What in merlin were you thinking? About to tell her, Were you? Not on my watch." Lavender growled, Standing over him, Fully prepared to smack the daylights out of her forced-boyfriend if provoked.
"Lavender, I didn't say anything." Ron replied, Keeping his voice no higher than a whisper, If he made it any higher this would've turned into a screaming match.
"Bullocks- Look, I dont care what you and that loony freak discussed about our deal. Never talk to her again, Understood?" Lavender demanded in a impatient tone, A moment went by when Ron didn't give a response, But when she opened her mouth to repeat herself she was satisfied to hear a "yes" come from him.
"Good." She said cheerfully, As if she had never been angry in the first place. "Now lay down.."
Ron resisted the strong urge to roll his eyes and complied with her wish.
"Time to make love to my won-won.."
Neville stood in the middle of the Quidditch field, No one was there except for himself and his girlfriend, Luna Lovegood. It seemed almost to expected that they would begin going out, Xenophilius was more than thrilled to finally see his daughter with a "Insignifigant other" and even though it was hidden well, He was a tad sad that this meant she wouldn't always be comming home for Christmas break.
The biggest surprise was the fact that Neville's grandmother, Augusta actually seemed to like Luna very much. Neville had warned her that his gran may hex her from behind if she didn't watch herself. But when Luna met her the evening was nothing but pleasent, This left Neville shocked for acouple of days, He had been sure Luna meant "Dishonoring the Longbottom name" But, It appeared that Luna knew people she didn't even know better than someone who did know someone.
And now..Luna and Ron ? It was just sick beyond measurement, Something he never saw comming. He had conversed with Ron about Luna before, He seemed alright with her on terms but wasn't friendly enough not to call her off her rocker at times (Same went for Dumbledore). This bothered Neville, But he let it slide.
But how could he let this slide?
"Ron is in trouble-" Luna was interrupted mid-sentence.
Neville rolled his eyes. "So that gives you the right to start messing him around? Oh, Okay, Than i guess i'd be okay to find-Hermione o-Or Ginny and-"
"Dont you dare..Neville Longbottom." Luna warned, Frowning at him. Neville turned to her in shock, The serene sound in her voice had disappeared for a second. "Please..Ron is in trouble, I don't know how or why or with who..But he is, We must help him."
Neville didn't answer, He was stuck in his own thoughts as he stared at his beautiful girlfriend, Was Luna really the type to lie? "Okay...Let's help him.."
And there she was.
Moonlight shimmering on her flawless skin, She turned to Ron. Cigarette inbetween her fingers as she blew another puff of smoke out of her mouth. "Have you given up boy?" She asked.
Ron stood there, Bewildered that the woman was able to penetrate into Hogwarts without a soul (or Ghost) noticing. She was Katherine Sirlady Degroot, A friend of his mums. Of course he met her once when she was over for tea, But nothing special.
And now she stood there, Purerly glowing in the moonlights reflection, This Katherine was nothing like the Katherine he had met at the burrow once... Her short swirved black hair sat still on her scalp, And the puffs of smoke made her look like some illusion. "Well?" She pressed on.
"H-How did you get here?" Ron asked, Blinking acouple times to see if she'd just disappear, But everytime he opened his eyes she still stood there, Clear as day. "Hogwart's defenses-"
"Wont save anyone, But it doesn't matter son, They're not powerful enough for me." Katherine said with a soft smile. "What matters here is you and Hermione.."
Hermione...It'd been so long since he heard her name it almost sounded foreign, But even though he got a buzz of pleasure by hearing it he still was confused of how the woman knew her name. "What are you talking about?" He asked.
"You know.." She began to walk towards him, Her ocean blue eyes piercing no different than a dagger would. "Do you intend to hide with you're guilt and that nonsensical girlfriend of yours?"
His mouth fell open, Oh god..She knew! He could've denied, He could've screamed at her. But all he felt he could do was collaspe acouple of feet away from her. "Search me.."
"Don't give me that." She replied coldly, Kneeling beside him to look him with her now stern eyes. "Why are you with Lavender?"
Ron hesitantly looked up at her, Dying for her to understand without him having to tell him. Which at the time he refused to belive was impossible. "Lavender's dad is a good friend with Dragma Durmet."
"Dragma Durmet...Dragma Durmet.." Katherine repeated dreamily, As if she was trying to remember where she knew the name from. "Hes that bloke that works at the Ministry, Correct?"
"A real git to." Ron said, More clearly audible. "Good friends with the Malfoy's i bet. Likes pure families."
Katherine blinked. "And what does this have to do with Hermione?"
Ron turned to her, With a slight frown. "Well don't you know? Lavender's family knows him rather well, Can give Hermione alot of trouble if i dont watch out...And i've done enough to hurt her don't you think?"
Right than, Katherine hooked her fingers inbetween the "Sweetheart" necklace Lavender had gave him, And broke it to pieces. "Is that it? Honestly?" Her cold tone was back. "Come to you're senses Weasley, Don't you even know Hermione at all?"
"What-What are you on about?" He stuttered, Looking down at the shattered pieces of the necklace.
"I'm sure she realizes that throughout her life she'll have to deal with incredibly stupid people like Dragma Durmet and Lucius Malfoy that think that just becuase they were born in aristocrat families and carry the name 'Pureblood' their better than all. Hermione is smarter than that, And will walk her own path where she knows she wont be shunned because of who she is." Katherine finished, Her eyes boring into Ron's. "Go to her Ron..Make this right.."
As the last words faded, Ron could've sworn he saw Katherine fading along with them. And before he knew it there was nothing more to look at, As if she'd vanished in the lights moon...
