Origins of Military Power in Algeria
The political preponderance of the armed forces in Algeria emerged only after a long period of confrontation following the outbreak of the war of liberation in 1954. And after the sidelining of the political figures whose influence at the start of the uprising was decisive.
Orient XXI History > Conflicts > Jean-Pierre Sereni > 22 June 2020 > 21 June 2020
Oujda (Morocco), 23 March 1962. — FLN leaders Mohamed Boudiaf (2nd l., behind the soldier at attention), Rabah Bitat (3rd l.), Ahmed Ben Bella (4th l.) and Houari Boumediene (6th l., 1st rank, mustache) take part in a parade of NLA units) and gather in front of the flag of the wilaya 5.
Translated from French by Noël Burch.
Throughout the year-long series of weekly street protests, interrupted only by the coronavirus epidemic, one dominant motif was to be observed among the huge crowds marching through the streets: the army confiscated the power structure in the summer of 1962 and has held on to it ever since. The second assertion is correct, the first is not. It was in August 1957, in Cairo, that the National Council of the Algerian Revolution (CNRA in French) actually entrusted full power to three Wilaya commanders, assigning activists, political leaders and intellectuals to subordinate roles. How did this come about, just one year after the Congress of Soummam (August 1956) where a staunchly civil vision of the revolution had won the day?
No hierarchy
The nine "historic leaders who launched the uprising on 1 November 1954 did not establish a central leadership overseeing the five zones (Oranie, Algérois, Kabylie, Constantinois and Aurès) and their respective commanders. Everyone was master on his home ground and the nine agreed to meet again in January 1955 to take stock. This lack of any hierarchy, the fact that no central command was put in charge can no doubt be explained by the relative distrust which prevailed among the participants. Two of them (Krim Belkacem in Grande Kabylie and Mustapha Ben Boulaïd in the Aurès) exercised over their zones a quasi-familial control, while the three others had been brought in from outside and needed time to adapt.
Three months after the appointed date, the meeting still had not taken place and a vacuum emerged which was filled by Krim Belkacem. He recruited Abane Ramdame1, one of the leaders of Messali Hadj's Mouvement pour le triomphe des libertés démocratiques (MTLD) and a veteran of its military wing, L'organisation spéciale (OS). His task was to organise the resistance in the capital which became the Zone autonome d'Alger (ZAA). The ZAA was hived off from the Zone IV, commanded by Rabah Bitat, who had neither the political stature nor the manpower to carry weight in Algiers. Sold out by a traitor, he was captured by the French police in March 1955.
At the same time, there existed an external delegation, based in Cairo, where Ahmed Ben Bella, Hocine Ait Ahmed and Mohamed Khider were in charge of relations with the newly republican Egypt, which provided weapons, propaganda—via the Voice of the Arabs radio station—and funding. On the West Coast of the continent, Mohamed Boudiaf was in charge of Spanish Morocco, the only area where Algerian guerilla fighters were out of reach of the French army, could train and establish an operating base. Boudiaf also acted as go-between with Madrid and the Spanish special services who collaborated with the FLN out of hostility to Paris, before he fell ill and was out of action for many long months.
Abane carried on negotiations with members of the existing national political forces: Fehrat Abbas's middle of the road Union démocratique du manifeste algérien (UDMA), ulamas, and communists, trying to get them to rally the Front and leave their various organisations. Between the autumn of 1955 and the spring of 1956, all of them came around, willy-nilly.
It was on the strength of his political achievements that Abane organised the Soummam Congress with the support of two wilaya2 commanders, Krim Belkacen (zone III) and Larbi Ben Mhidi (zone V). Zone IV, actually an offshoot of zone II, also went along with the movement. Thus, the new organisation had the support of three out of the five wilayas.
The temporary victory of the political leaders
Wilaya II was more cautious on account of its disagreement with the general staff in Algiers concerning the 20 August 1955 offensive when its commander Zighoud Yussef had incited the population to rise up alongside his guerilla fighters. Some hundred Europeans were massacred and the fierce repression that followed claimed thousands of lives. Wilaya I, plagued by internal dissension and conflicts, was completely absent.
Quite unintentionally, Abane and his group became de facto the central leadership. Algiers had come to speak for all Algeria, The ZAA's scope of jurisdiction was now far greater than initially intended. The national and central executive was now composed of three "political" figures: Ramdane Abane, Benyoussef Ben Khedda and Said Dahab, and two guerilla commanders, Larbi Ben Mhidi and Krim Belkacem. Ahmed Ben Bella immediately voiced his opposition to the decisions of the Soummam Congress, challenging the composition of the CNRA designated by the congress. It included too many "ralliés"—politicians whom Abane had won over to the cause of the FLN. From their base in Cairo, and with backing from the Cairo military, who were distrustful of the "Kabyls" whom they denounced as unauthentic Arabs. the CNRA drew its activists in Tunisia into a conspiracy aimed at cutting off Abane and his entourage from their rearguard.
More basically, the guerilla fighters were worried about their future. In Morocco and Tunisia, their Maghrebi comrades had been duped by the "politicos" who, after throwing them into the struggle, pushed them aside once independence had been granted—in March 1956—handing them at best low-level jobs as postmen or prison wardens when they weren't actually repressed with the help of colonial troops. The Algerian fighters wanted a share in the power structure, wanted to make sure their sufferings were not repaid with a mess of pottage.
One month later, in October, Ben Bella and the external delegation were arrested when the French air force intercepted their plane. However, between the autumn of 1956 and the spring of 1957, the balance of power shifted to the detriment of Abane. The repression hardened in Algiers where Europeans were subjected to a bloody campaign of terrorism. The paratroopers back from the Suez expedition took the city in hand and brutally broke the week-long national strike called by the FLN in order to show the UN General Assembly, in session in New York, and the world at large, that the Algerian people were behind their organisation.
Krim, overshadowed by Abane's verve and political culture, became openly sceptical. In particular, he refused to accept the latter's criticisms of the massacres perpetrated in Soummam Valley by one of his lieutenants, the redoubtable Amirouche Aït Hamouda (known as "Amirouche). These were considered untimely when efforts were being made to alert world opinion to French atrocities in Algeria. At the end of February 1957, it was decided to leave Algiers. The five members of the Committee for coordination and execution (CCE) were to meet in Tunis, thus abandoning one of the main principles decided upon at the Soummam Congress, i.e. "the precedence of the interior over the exterior," meant to sanctify the guerilla fighters as against the leadership abroad. But it was understood that this exile was to last only temporarily, while order was being restored among the fragmented remains of the external delegation.
Two groups were formed. Abane and Ben Mhidi (who was arrested by the paratroopers just before leaving and executed) were to go west, Krim, Ben Khedda and Dalhab went east. Krim, passing through wilaya 2, got in touch with Lakhdar Ben Tobbal, his new commander since 24 September 1956 and the death of Zighud Yussef, and persuaded him to come to Tunis with him. At the beginning of June 1957, after 4 months on the road, they finally reached Tunis. Abane had unpleasant memories of the time he spent in wilaya V, too military and not political enough to his taste. There was not really a sense that they were at war and the leaders, including Houari Boumedienne were selected arbitrarily. The men were no longer seen as activists but rather as subordinates, expected to obey orders and placed under arrest at the least misdemeanour.
That same month was held in Guenzet, near the Tunisian capital, the preparatory meeting of the CNRA, which had been called in Cairo in August. Abane sharply criticised wilaya 5, which he considered "feudal" and thereby earned the enmity of its new commander, Abdelhamid Boussof. Just before his departure, the CCE and the CNRA were reorganised: the executive was enlarged from five to twelve members, Abane and Krim were the only ones to keep their seats and the body now numbered only three political figures as against nine guerilla commanders. The CNRA now had 22 members instead of 17, with a much stronger presence of the military who were now in the majority, reversing the balance of power. This was now in the hands of Krim Belkacem (armed forces), Abdelahafid Bussuf (communications and intelligence), and Lakhdar Ben Tobbai (emigration control).
Abane was sidelined, put in charge of Moudjahid, the Front's new weekly. He refused to keep is mouth shut and continued to criticise the trio in power who had evicted him and their orientations. This was just too much for the trio: they lured him to Morocco where he was liquidated at the end of December 1957.
For two years, the "three Bs" led the Algerian revolution. When the CCE became the Provisional Government of the Algerian Republic (GPRA) at the end of 1958, nothing changed, power was still at the end of a gun and the trio hung on to their key positions. They controlled the ministers, often men who were indebted to them, but soon revealed themselves incapable of coping with the challenges facing them: the construction of electrified fences on the country's eastern and western borders which isolated the guerilla fighters, Charles de Gaulle's rise to power in France and his efforts to diminish support for the FLN by promoting a moderate current, "Algérie algérienne," discontent in the wilayas prompted by the difficulties of procuring weapons, and the increasing strength of the counter-insurrection with a multiplication of local rebellions.
The increasing power of the "colonels"
Krim was held responsible for the military setbacks of the revolution and the "three Bs" were obliged to accept the organisation of an interminable conference of "the ten colonels" (five wilaya commanders, two chiefs of staff plus the "trio") which lasted from August to December 1959, ostensibly to prepare the next session of the CNRA. The height of insolence came when one of the ten challenged the trio's presence: they weren't even in command of wilayas!
In January 1969, Krim moved over to foreign affairs. His armed forces ministry was replaced by a new institution, the état-major général (general staff) headed by a new strong man, Huari Boumedienne, Boussouf's successor in command of wilaya V, who supported him along with Ben Tobbal against Krim. These two, who both came from the same small town in the Constantinois, Mila, were determined to pry Krim away from the army for fear he would use it for a power grab.
The CNRA appointed by the ten colonels was renewed and political personalities now made up for only one third of it. The EMG was now fully in charge of military operations, since the Comité interministériel de guerre, which included the three Bs who theoretically controlled it, was deeply split and too far from the troops on the ground. Its influence was in decline while that of the EMG was on the rise as it took full advantage of its prerogatives:
The General Staff was in command of the Armée de libération nationale (ALN) and was respondisble for the conduct and coordination of military operations on a national scale. It was responsible for supplying the interior forces with ordnance, money and cadres. The wilaya commanders and frontier commanders were under its authority for all military matters. It was responsible for the military training of cadres and for the rest camps. On the proposal of the wilaya councils, it appointed all subaltern officers down to the rank of captain. In collaboration with the Inter-Ministerial War Committee, it was responsible for the military police in zones to be determined later. It had at its disposal an army medical corps, which operated in certain areas. It had to report regularly to the Inter-Ministerial-War Committee.3.
The EMG became more and more important, with the increasing power of the Border armies, stationed in Tunisia and Morocco, and which at the rime of the cease-fire in March 1962, numbered nearly 40,000 men. On the contrary, the guerilla fighters of the interior, hard hit by successive operations launched by General Maurice Challe, withered and languished. The few thousand survivors were forced to flee and hide. The grassroots base of the military power changed drastically: the volunteer guerilla fighters of the interior gave way to professional soldiers based outside the country.
The public disagreements between the GPRA and the commanders of the Border Army became increasingly frequent until the cease-fire on 19 March 1962. Governmental authority was often flouted and the ENG's bouts of sulkiness became a political ritual. On 1 September 1962, the last fighters defending an isolated Wilaya no. IV, were crushed in just a few hours by Boumediene's artillery. The die was cast. The Algerian armed forces entered the country and officially took over the power structure. They have kept it ever since.

Turtles stick neck out for imperial rice forecast
In an ancient ceremony that occurs only once every imperial era, Japanese palace courtiers in traditional robes and hats decided on Monday where best to grow royal rice -- using shells from endangered turtles.
Two thin plates made from turtle shells were heated over a flame to produce cracks then used to determine where rice should be grown for a key autumn ceremony presided over by new Emperor Naruhito.
The cracks "told" officials to grow the rice in the ancient capital of Kyoto and in Tochigi Prefecture.
For the ceremony -- which Naruhito did not attend -- officials clad in long black robes and ornate black hats were seen walking slowly into a striped tent.
The rare ritual is conducted only after a new emperor takes the throne. It was last seen in 1990 about a year after Naruhito's father, Akihito, ascended the Chrysanthemum Throne.
While the shells are harvested from rare green sea turtles, they are procured as part of a conservation scheme, officials said.
The turtles come from the Ogasawara, a Pacific island chain that lies 1,000 kilometers south of central Tokyo but is administratively part of the capital. People in the region have been eating sea turtles since the mid-19th century and are allowed to catch up to 135 of them annually.
Around 100 turtles are used for meat -- often consumed raw -- while the shells are used for craft objects. Eggs are harvested from the others to keep the population stable and managed. These turtles are then released back into the sea.
Shells from eight turtles are provided to the palace but they are not killed specifically for the ritual.
Ogasawara town official Takeshi Ando told AFP that "earnest conservation efforts" were being made, noting that the number of eggs hatched there was increasing.
The village only catches big turtles with shells bigger than 75 centimeters as mandated by the Tokyo metropolitan government, he added. A palace spokesman said the tradition had been in place "since ancient times".
The palace "must pass this on (to the future)" although it is aware that some believe it should not use the endangered animal, he told AFP.
Many on Japanese social media voiced surprise over the ancient rite.
"Too rare and too much fun to make a decision by fortune-telling with turtle shells in modern-day Japan," said one tweet.
Another Twitter user wrote: "I feel sorry for green sea turtles even though they were not killed only for their shells. We should carry on this tradition with something else."
The rice grown in the selected provinces will be used in a ceremony in mid-November, where the emperor will give thanks and pray for rich harvests, as well as peace for the country and people.

Pop culture media brand PopSugar is no stranger to holiday activations, but the brand this year shifted its strategy to focus on wellness-inspired experiences at its "Sugar Chalet." Open for one day, Nov. 23, in New York City's Bryant Park, the Chalet featured various yoga classes, as well as a wellness "retreat" that included meditation workshops with MNDFL, crystal ear-seeding (used to stimulate pressure points in the ear) by Yinova, hand massages and palm readings led by renowned astrologers.
There was also a Gifting Den where consumers could get some holiday shopping done, then have a note of gratitude personalized by PopSugar's on-site calligraphy artist; a meet-and-greet with food blogger Chef Maria Koutsogiannis; festive food and beverages; candy-inspired makeover stations; and chill spaces like the brand's "snowy hammock" and "luxe lounge."
How's this for spectacle: Jaguar kicked off its Unwrap a Jaguar holiday campaign by announcing a series of "Light Parades" featuring 18 of the brand's all-electric I‑PACE vehicles, each decorated with holiday wrapping paper and festive LED lights. Revving up the streets of Los Angeles and New York, the fleet will travel the two cities through Jan. 2 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. The concept was inspired by brand partner and HGTV star Jonathan Scott of "Property Brothers," who designed the vehicle wraps using sustainable materials to inspire consumers to be more eco-friendly and to underscore the I-PACE's sustainable features.
The first Light Parade took place on Dec. 2 at the ROW DTLA plaza in L.A. There, consumers could explore Scott's list of "Sustainable Holiday Hacks" (among them: "skip the conventional tree and create your own using stacked books") and check out a Santa's Workshop-themed pop-up where Scott's holiday hacks were brought to life.

CLUB WYNDHAM
If you love the holiday movie "Elf," this one's for you. Club Wyndham, in partnership with Warner Bros., dreamed up an "Elf"-themed suite at its property in midtown Manhattan, where guests were immersed in the film's key scenes from the get-go. After stepping through a door wrapped in an elf ensemble, consumers could explore the one-bedroom suite. Among the offerings: hundreds of paper snowflakes like the ones Buddy makes in the movie, a wall-sized gift installation, a larger-than-life nutcracker ("son of a nutcracker!"), a towering Christmas tree, an array of Buddy's favorite toys including an Etch A Sketch and garlands galore. Reservations for the four-person suite started at $399 per night, and sold out within 30 minutes.

Tiffany & Co. is making spirits bright on the other side of the pond with a Winter Wonderland experience and ice-skating rink at London's Covent Garden through Dec. 26. Consumers enter the experience through a branded bridge that mimics those found in New York's Central Park before immersing themselves in the activation, which was inspired by the brand's fragrance. A snowman and a giant snow globe installation featuring a replica bottle of Tiffany & Co. perfume offer photo ops, while oversized versions of the brand's famous blue gift boxes nestled into sparkling (fake) snow are also sprinkled through the footprint. But the main draw is a real-life ice-skating rink, where Tiffany's fragrance is pumped into the space as consumers glide around for free (Tiffany even provides the skates). Additional touchpoints include gift-wrapping services and complimentary laser-engraving on bottles. Agency: The Persuaders.
The holiday season isn't exactly the time of year most of us focus on fitness, but Heineken 0.0 (the brewer's non-alcoholic beverage brand) is aiming to change that through its partnership with elite fitness club Performix House and Nike master trainer Alex Silver-Fagan. On select Thursdays in December and January, Silver-Fagan is hosting "6-Pack Series" workouts to provide simple, fun fitness tips, and exercise routines that are easy to follow and can be completed almost anywhere. Training sessions take place in small group settings, and are followed by 0.0 happy hours with Silver-Fagan where participants can enjoy a cold one without compromising their commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle during the holidays. Agency: Edelman.
Legacy West, North Texas' upscale retail and residential center, may not be a property you're familiar with, but this activation was just too good not to include in our roundup. On Black Friday at the Legacy West Shopping Center in Dallas, the brand unveiled the world's first Ugly Christmas Sweater Hall of Fame featuring 34 of the tackiest holiday sweaters on the planet, all curated by the Ugly Christmas Sweater Shop. The experience, open throughout the month of December, features an 80-foot-tall wall display of the garments, each accompanied by its own frame. The installation itself is Insta-worthy, but additional photo ops include an oversized frame at the center of the footprint, and Santa Paws photo days during which consumers can bring their dog and take a photo with Santa on the Hall of Fame lawn.
Attendees can also take advantage of free gift-wrapping services provided by Anita Ivancevic of Freeform's "Wrap Battle," take a cocktail tour through the shops, and for one day on Dec. 12, had the chance to decorate their own ugly holiday sweater cookies while sipping on hot cocoa from Lattes on Location. And on Dec. 15, a Christmas Village Marketplace gave consumers a chance to shop for holiday gifts among 25 small businesses that were set up along the property's main shopping avenue. Popular YouTubers Brooklyn and Bailey, and TikTok creator DreaKnowsBest, have stopped by the Hall of Fame, helping Legacy West attract more than 1,500 consumers (and counting) to the activation. Agency: LOUDER Experiences.
Giving Tuesday offers brands a chance to showcase their charitable side and on Dec. 3, Facebook joined the ranks with holiday pop-ups in New York, Chicago and L.A. At each location, the brand invited consumers to donate to the Military Mama Network, a nonprofit that supports military families in need, through QR codes found on oversized gift boxes. The pop-ups also include festive décor and photo ops, info on the Military Mama Network, a letter-writing station where attendees can send support to military families and troops overseas and a hot chocolate bar. Agency: Proud Robinson.
(Coca-Cola)
Speaking of cause-based campaigns, Coke for a ninth year is activating its Coca-Cola Christmas Truck Tour in 20 locations across the UK. The brand has pledged to donate 10p (10 pence) for every can placed in its recycling bins during the tour, and will donate the proceeds to Crisis, a homelessness charity. The initiative will support Coke's World Without Waste pledge to collect and recycle a bottle or can for every one sold by 2030.
In addition to the charitable component, the Truck Tour features free samples, a series of festive photo moments, the opportunity to buy a pack of 250ml glass bottles of Coke personalized with someone's name, and a Snapchat filter. And at Oxford Circus station, the brand will infuse the area with a cinnamon scent and provide a cinnamon-inspired igloo experience to promote its new cinnamon-flavored products.
Target and select partner brands are spreading holiday cheer with a gigantic, multisensory New York City pop-up dubbed Wonderland!, open through Dec. 22. The 16,000-square-foot experience includes a space where pine-scented bubbles are emitted alongside a stack of holiday-themed Mrs. Meyers soap bottles arranged in the shape of a Christmas tree; gaming zones; a broad range of complimentary treats; toy shops and tech-fueled touchpoints, like a hallway of interactive "Star Wars" lightsabers, a giant snow globe photo moment that results in a shareable GIF and a tasting kitchen sponsored by Campbell's.
The pop-up features countless photo and video ops, including an opportunity for attendees to type their personal holiday stories into a keyboard, then watch the words instantly transform into an animated video and personalized poster. There's also a LEGO station where consumers are invited to add the toy bricks to a small panel that gets placed on a wall—hundreds of them will be combined to create a holiday scene mosaic. Nearby, a giant LEGO replica of Target's mascot, Bullseye the dog, offers an Insta-worthy moment.
Target is making it easy for consumers to make purchases by placing barcodes throughout the space that enabled visitors to not just view products on display, but also order them through the Target app or Target.com on their devices. Brand ambassadors are available at each station to assist shoppers in downloading the app and explaining its features.
Rounding out the program is a philanthropic component: Target will donate up to $1 million to Toys for Tots through an on-site feature that allows visitors to literally submit their holiday wishes through a pneumatic tube (think: those old cylindrical containers found at drive-up banks), activating a $40 Target donation per wish.
Also worth noting: Wonderland! touchpoints were built to celebrate a variety of holiday traditions, not just Christmas, to create an environment that was as inclusive and accessible as possible. Agency: Wasserman.

Additional SAP-sponsored activities include wreath-making and cookie-decorating classes, music performances and art-based experiences. Agency: We're Magnetic.
Ahead of the premiere of its first animated feature film, "Klaus," Netflix on World Kindness Day (Nov. 13) delivered a stunt worthy of the spirit of character Jesper, who in the film says, "A simple act of kindness can always spark another." For the program, Netflix partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America to fulfill thousands of holiday wish lists written by children involved in the charity. But to kick things off, the brand dropped massive gifts in Los Angeles, New York City and Chicago that opened to reveal locally inspired themed gifts families could take home, a letter-writing station to write letters to Klaus, a gift-wrapping station and a donation station to support each local chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Consumers today crave access, which is why for the first time in its 75-year-history, Tupperware went live with its own holiday pop-up. The unexpectedly modern experience dubbed TuppSoho, and located in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan, was decked out in bold colors against white sleek countertops and walls. Open through Dec. 22, the pop-up offered hands-on product demonstrations that included time- and money-saving hacks with the Tupperware culinary team, Insta-worthy moments and shoppable product displays.

YAHOO, BUZZFEED
Yahoo and BuzzFeed invited New Yorkers to "Slay The Holidays" on Dec. 13 with a mini pop-up marketplace featuring merchandise from Ultraviolet Jewelry, Akalo wearable vitamins and Brooklyn Brujeria, as well as interactive engagements. The space was divided into various stations, each offering attendees a chance to earn points for prizes. Consumers learned more about Yahoo's new product at the Yahoo Mail App Station; decorated sugar cookies at the Tasty Station; took a BuzzFeed x Yahoo email quiz at the BuzzFeed station; played a carnival-style email toss to "unsubscribe" while "Shannon" the Junk Mail Heckler thwarted their attempts at the Unsubscribe Game station; and captured the perfect holiday postcard at the Green Screen Photo Booth, which featured mugs of hot cocoa, ugly holiday sweaters and cat props.
After making their way through the stations, attendees arrived at the Inbox Checklist where they could cash in their points. Prizes included Yahoo Mail icon patches, Akalo hangover patches, Brooklyn Brujeria's Magia Candle and amethyst stud earrings from Ultraviolet. Agency: CRONY Creative.
UBER COMFORT
Holiday season air travel is not that comfortable. Unless, maybe, you have access to one of those fancy airport lounges. Uber this season stepped in to help flyers ride out the process by opening the Uber Comfort Club at Terminal 2 in Chicago O'Hare Airport. Open from Dec. 7 through Jan. 3, the pop-up space was available to economy travelers and offered space to relax as well as giveaways. Upon entry, visitors received Comfort Kits complete with an eye mask, fuzzy travel socks and ear plugs and a promo code for Uber Comfort rides. They could hang out and enjoy "extra leg room" (one of the features of Uber Comfort rides), sip on a complimentary warm or cool beverage or don a pair of noise canceling headphones to escape the chaos of the airport. The activation was supported by a digital film spot that depicts travelers anticipating their Uber Comfort rides waiting for them at their destinations. Agency: Tool of North America.

Escarole, bean and sausage soup with olive oil, kielbasa sausage, diced, large garlic cloves, chopped, large head escarole, coarsely chopped, 14 1/2-ounce cans low-salt chicken broth, 15-ounce can cannellini, grated parmesan cheese.
Step 1 Heat oil in heavy large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sausage and garlic and sauté until sausage is lightly browned, about 8 minutes.
Step 2 Add escarole and toss until wilted, about 5 minutes. Add broth and cannellini with their juices. Simmer until flavors blend and soup thickens slightly, about 20 minutes.


Your device is non-responsive to being powered on.
The phone must be charged for approximately 4 hours. After the phone has reached full charge, attempt to turn on the phone using the power-on key. The phone should respond after holding down the key for 5 seconds.
Your battery may no longer have power from the last charge. Check to see if the phone powers on by using a known, working battery inside the device.
If the above solutions were not successful or if the screen has any visible cracks, replacing the LCD screen is an option. See the Installing LCD Guide for steps on replacing the LCD screen.
This is a last resort option. If replacing the battery and the LCD screen did not help with turning the phone on, then it's highly probable that the Motherboard, which is responsible for controlling all flows between different components of the phone, is the culprit. Disassembly of the device is required to see if the Motherboard connections are loose or if a replacement is necessary. See the Installing Motherboard Guide for steps on replacing the motherboard.
Your device is unable to make calls.
The area you are in is not providing a sufficient signal for your phone to make calls. Move to another area where your signal reception bars improve.
The antenna responsible for transmitting signals to your phone may be defunct. If there is any noticeable wear on the antenna, it needs to be replaced. Consult the Installing Antenna Guide for steps to replace your antenna. Also, the internal connections of the antenna with the Motherboard may be loose and could need to be reconnected through repair.
Your device is unable to connect to the Internet.
You have not purchased a data plan that grants you access to the Internet. Please contact your wireless carrier for further details on available data plans.
Your current location does not allow a proper connection to the Internet. Common conditions that affect cell phone reception include humid weather, tall buildings, and the terrain, such as mountains or hills. All of these conditions can interfere with the signal between the phone and the cell phone tower, causing the signal to arrive distorted or not at all.
Your device is not holding a proper charge.
Check to see that the charger connections are firmly inserted in the phone. There will be a visual cue on the screen when the charger is inserted properly into the device.
The existing battery in your device is faulty or has reached its maximum charge capacity. An easy way check if the battery is at fault is to place it in another phone of the same model and see if the same issues arise. If so, then you will need to purchase a replacement battery. See the Installing Battery Guide for steps on replacing your battery.
First, check for any noticeable wear on either the cord or the charger itself. If any tears or damage are evident, then it is very probable that the entire charger will need to be replaced. Try using a working charger with your device. If the phone retains its charge, then a new charger will need to be purchased.
Your device is unable to save images, text messages, or sounds.
The internal 256 MB of space has reached its maximum capacity. Similarly, your microSD memory card may be full. To see how much available memory is left on your device, check your main system settings.
Your phone is unable to transfer or receive files with the microSD card due to a faulty microSD card slot. If any cracking or other wear is visible and the phone does not recognize that a card is inserted, then the slot is need of replacement.
Your devices has non-responsive keys.
It is possible that the phone is simply locked. Check your system settings to unlock the device. A password may be required to do so.
If the keys are not working or respond only periodically, they may be getting stuck. This occurs due to a buildup of dirt or sticky substance underneath the keys. You can remove the keyboard to clean it.
If the keys are still unresponsive after cleaning, then the keyboard may be experiencing poor connection with the motherboard. If the keyboard did not regain function after being reconnected to the motherboard, then the keyboard is broken. See the Installing Keyboard Guide for steps on replacing your keyboard.
Your device does not alert you of incoming notifications by vibrating.
Your phone is currently set to silent mode. This restricts any vibrating alerts. This feature can be changed through your phone settings.
The internal vibrating mechanism of your phone is either showing signs of wear or is connected loosely to the Motherboard. Disassembly of the device is necessary to check for any noticeable damage on the motor of the mechanism or for any loose connections.
Your device does not alert incoming notifications through sound.
Your phone is currently set to silent mode, restricting it from producing sounds. This feature can be changed through your phone settings.
There may be internal problems inhibiting ringing such as a build-up of debris, loose wiring, or a damaged speaker. Disassembly of the device is necessary to check for any dirt or loose connections around the speaker. If cleaning did not solve the issue, then the entire speaker must replaced. See the Installing Speaker Guide for steps on replacing your speaker.

We went through a few questions about her experience in the wedding industry, her business model, and her feels on current favorites and past wedding trends. I also got to hang out with her in her home studio and got to see her process firsthand. It was SO fun to see blooms come together from stems in a bucket to a wild and gorgeous bouquet!
Haley gave me SO many amazing details that I decided to break her post into TWO parts! Today, you get to meet the woman behind the brand, and next week, you'll get to hear her take on field to vase florals in the wedding industry!
I think the thing that I love the most about Haley and Cedar and Lime Co.'s process is that her entire business revolves around sustainability. She sources all of her florals from local farms. Not only is she an amazing person doing amazing work for her clients, but she is also staying conscious of her business's environmental footprint and her clients' quality control.
Before we get this post started, I'll answer the question that you are definitely asking yourself! Haley is currently booking weddings for couples in Virginia, Maryland, and DC. She is also willing to travel!! Can we make "destination florist" a thing?! I think we should!! A huge THANK YOU to Haley for pouring so much love into this post!
How did you get started as a field to vase florist? What do you love most about what you do?
When I started my business four years ago, I didn't even know what a field to vase florist was. I ordered my flowers the way most florists do, through a big wholesaler who imports flowers from all over the world; Colombia, Holland, Ecuador, Japan, etc. Every time a shipment arrived, I felt like I was drowning in boxes, paper wrapping, plastic wrapping, twist ties, and rubber bands.
I figured there had to be a way to have beautiful wedding flowers without so much physical waste and without creating such a large carbon footprint. I started searching and found a few local flower farms that sold their blooms and greenery to florists. I started working with them, and a beautiful relationship was born! I now know my flower growers personally and regularly visit the farms where my couples' flowers are grown.
My flowers travel a mere 50-100 miles (rather than 2,800 miles from Ecuador or 3,800 miles from Holland). I transfer the flowers from my grower's buckets into mine and there are no cardboard boxes or plastic bags involved. I am confident in the quality of the flowers grown, because I've been to the farm, seen the farmers in action, and know that the blooms were cut just the day before in order to ensure freshness.
I love feeling good about the work that I am doing. My dad has always cared about the environment, and it definitely rubbed off on me. We have always tried to minimize our waste, so when I was dealing with all the packaging, I just knew I needed to do things differently. A lot of my couples' have found me because they were looking for someone who uses local flowers. I know the local flower movement is getting bigger, and I love being a part of that.
What are some of your favorite local flowers to work with in each season?
Oh this one is so hard and it probably changes every year! I'm sure if you scroll through my Instagram, you'll catch me claiming many different flowers as my favorite. It's so hard to choose! Poppies and hellebores are always fighting for first place as a spring favorite, lisianthus are my summer favorite, and it's definitely dahlias for fall. Winter is a little tricky since most flowers are dead, so I'm going to pick blue ice cedar (where the "Cedar" in our name comes from!) as my favorite winter greenery.
When you're not working with gorgeous local blooms, where can people find you?
When I'm not designing weddings, I'm spending time with my family. I have two kids, Samson (4) and Dorothy (2), and a wonderful husband. We love going on adventures, anywhere from DC to the beach to the mountains. As long as I'm with my family, I'm happy! I also really enjoy reading and do it whenever I have time.
I know that your family is currently walking through an extremely exciting season as you work through the adoption process! Can you tell us a little bit about your adoption journey and how everyone can best support your family?
Speaking of that family I love so much, we're currently in the process of adding to it by adopting from India! We've always known that we wanted to adopt, and after we had Dorothy, the time just seemed right. We just finished completing all of the US requirements for foreign adoption and are now starting to work on fulfilling India's requirements. As long as we stay on track, we should be matched with a child in the next 6-8 months and then will be able to bring them home 6-8 months after that. If you'd like to stay up to date on our adoption happenings, you can sign up here!
Favorite color palette? Anything with a lot of color. One bride told me her color palette was "Mexican fiesta without my mom knowing its a Mexican fiesta" and that was probably my favorite.
Hidden Talent? It's more of a super power than a hidden talent, but at least 80% of the time that I use the oven, I open it to put the food in right as the timer goes off letting me know the oven is done preheating.
FIVE WEDDING EXPERIENCE TRENDS THAT I AM ABSOLUTELY LOVING!!

Ten years after the Great Recession, nothing's changed
A decade later, the crisis that threatened to take down the global financial order seems like a bad dream. Now it's business as usual.
image: Alt-M
In Great Recession, banking institutions creaked and groaned under the weight of flawed investments. Mohamed El-Erian, CEO of a large U.S. investment management firm phoned his wife and asked her to withdraw as much money as she could from an ATM because he feared the banks wouldn't open the next day. A hedge fund manager sent an email to a journalist during the meltdown saying: "It feels a little like the end of the world."
But the problems have been fixed, haven't they? Yohann Koshy, editor for New Internationalist magazine, is not so sure:
"The world almost did end. And everything stayed the same. Time was borrowed in the form of nationalizations, cash injections and money-printing: space for the financial sector to breathe. But the air is getting thin again (July/August, 2018)."
How we got here.
We went from a stable financial period -one of the longest in centuries- to one designed to fail. The post-war era from the mid-1940s to the early 1970s brought prosperity to everyone: workers and employers alike.
This stable economic period was engineered by the Bretton Woods agreement in 1944 in which a system of monetary rules were applied to the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and Japan. A key feature of the agreement was a stable U.S. dollar to which many global currencies were pegged. The value of the dollar was linked to a quantity of gold held at Fort Knox.
"This 'gold standard' forced discipline on the financial system: it was much harder for banks to create credit out of thin air," says Koshy.
Under Bretton Woods, money was tied to the value of gold and economies were tied to the goods they manufactured. The U.S., already tooled to produce military equipment, switched to produce the world's goods.
The U.S. dollar became so popular as a global currency that not enough dollars could be printed. President Nixon ended the gold standard in 1971.
This ushered in the era of financialization. With the dollar having no tangible value, economies also became more abstract. Wall Street made money from the production of goods in other countries.
A recession was avoided in the 2000s by the lowering of interest rates. Financial institutions were awash in money and they invested it in exotic and dubious things like derivatives, credit default swaps and collateralized debt obligations. And banks gave mortgages to people to buy houses that they couldn't afford.
As the world staggered towards financial calamity in 2008, governments injected massive amounts of money into banks to cover their bad investments. Bailouts were given to the very perpetrators of the dubious investments. The chair of Goldman Saks announced that the biggest beneficiary was "Wall Street itself."
Nothing has been fixed. What will happen the next time the system teeters towards calamity? "Whatever the answer," says Koshy, "the blame must not be laid at the feet of the migrants, workers and the marginalized, but on those enabling, creating and profiting from a rapacious and crisis-prone financial system."
As the air gets a little thin in the stratospheric world of finance, we can only hope that the wizards of exotic investments remember 2008.

The rise and fall of globalization
As the sun sets on globalization, what will a new day bring? The new era will face challenges of rampant parochialism, environmental destruction, inequality and greed.
image: Timetoast.com
The dawn of globalization was unremarkable. Yanis Varoufakis, professor economics and former finance minister of Greece gives the date:
"On Aug. 15, 1971, then-president Richard Nixon announced the ejection of Europe and Japan from the dollar zone. Unnoticed by almost everyone, globalization was born on that summer day (Globe and Mail)."
Before Globalization, it was the dawning of a New Deal (1944). A clever plan, it gave America's former enemies the resources to rebuild through arrangements such as the Marshall Plan. As an industrial power, the U.S. had shiny new things to sell; now Germany and Japan had money to buy them.
The New Deal ushered in a Golden Age of prosperity. Well-paying jobs, unionization, opportunity grew. The middle class expanded and inequality shrank.
As a baby boomer, I remember that era. After I graduated from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in Electronics, I had a choice of well-paying secure, jobs. After I quit one job and traveled around the world, I easily found another.
The era of globalization in the 1970s promised to reduce global poverty. Before it began to rot at its core, it blushed with ambition.
"Mr. Nixon's decision was founded on the refreshing lack of deficit phobia particular to American decision-makers," says Varoufakis. "Unwilling to rein in deficits by imposing austerity . . . Washington stepped on the gas to boost them."
World-wide prosperity also produced global industrialization. Americans went into debt to buy exports from Germany, Japan and later, China. The American administration didn't seem to notice, or didn't care, that cheap global labour was at the heart of industrial decay at home. Why should they care when money was pouring into the U.S. as well as cheap goods?
The flow of global money into the U.S. seems counterintuitive. If Americans were buying global goods, it would seem that the money should be flowing the other way. The magic of Wall Street made it happen.
The deregulation of banks was a catalyst for the financial wizardry of Wall Street. Global investors were attracted by higher interest rates generated by mystical, incomprehensible, investment devices such as derivatives. A lot of the investments went into loans to home-owners who had no way of repaying them.
Then, in 2008, the rabbit no longer emerged from the magician's hat and the whole financial edifice fell apart.
All that remains of the sad tatters of globalization is massive inequality and loss of jobs in the Western world. Most money sits idle in the hands of the rich while the poor struggle without. Varoufakis characterizes it:
"Its crisis is due to too much money in the wrong hands. Humanity's accumulated savings per capita are at the highest level in history."
As globalization sinks below the horizon, two options emerge. One is the walled-state proposed by President Trump and the Brexiters in the U.K. The other is a Universal New Deal that redistributes global wealth, creates new jobs, and lifts the burden of consumer debt.
If such a new deal seems unlikely, it's worth remembering that the first New Deal and globalization were as well. And if we need an issue to rally around and mobilize action, as World War II once was, we need look no further than the biggest threat to humanity: climate change.

New angel investor network steers investment to startups associated with CWRU
March 13, 2018 FeaturedUniversity News
The entrepreneurial ecosystem associated with Case Western Reserve University is expanding: A new network of early-stage investors, started by alumni and faculty, plans to invest directly in promising startup businesses that include university students, graduates, staff, faculty and supporters.
Scott Shane
The Case Angel Network—an initiative independent of Case Western Reserve—is led by university alums and venture capitalists Ben Bayat and Vikram Gupta. The network is supported by an investment committee that includes Scott Shane, the A. Malachi Mixon III Professor of Entrepreneurial Studies at the Weatherhead School of Management.
"This is a great way to gather—and support—entrepreneurs from the talented and diverse university community that we have in common," said Shane, who also serves as a partner and advisor for the network. "By connecting startups with angel investors, we're aiming to help more entrepreneurs find more success."
Angel investors provide funds during critical early stages of a startup company in exchange for equity in the venture.
The Case Angel Network will gather investors and businesses for pitch meetings and networking, with the hope that these connections will result in investments and partnerships.
Returns on investments made through the network may also be directed back to the university: Each participating venture capitalist will be asked to sign a non-binding pledge to donate a portion of the related profits to Case Western Reserve, to help further strengthen the university's offerings for entrepreneurs.
Ben Bayat
"By forming an investing community with a common passion for Case Western Reserve, everyone benefits: Investors will see more opportunities, entrepreneurs have greater access to capital and more innovation will come from Cleveland," Bayat said.
Among the network's first moves will be to link investors from Silicon Valley and beyond with the winners of the inaugural Morgenthaler-Pavey Startup Competition (MPSC), a new contest co-led by Case Western Reserve and JumpStart Inc.—a Northeast Ohio-based nonprofit supporting entrepreneurs. Companies competing in the MPSC must have at least one current or recent university student or graduate.
Involved alumni
Ben Bayat, a 2003 graduate with bachelor's degrees in engineering and physics, works for the San Francisco area-based venture-capital firm Illuminate Ventures, which invests in early-stage software companies.
Vikram Gupta, founder and managing partner of IvyCap Ventures, based in Mumbai, India, earned an MBA from Case Western Reserve in 2001.
Jonathon Vinocur, a 2003 School of Law graduate and partner at Thompson Hine LLP, works exclusively with high-growth tech companies and venture-capital investors; he will provide complimentary legal assistance to the network.
Taking the unique approach of placing students on both sides of the competition, the MPSC launched last fall with Shane's students evaluating the startups during its initial round.
On March 15, six finalists will vie for $50,000 in prizes—making their final pitches to a panel of professional investors and the public; register for the free event at the Larry Sears and Sally Zlotnick Sears think[box].
Similar to the MPSC, the Case Angel Network is being designed as an educational tool: Case Western Reserve students will serve as interns and will help research potential clients for investors. The network's first intern is Kelsey Holmberg, a junior double-major in economics and political science and an entrepreneurial studies minor, from Saline, Michigan.
The network will also maintain an office at Sears think[box], once the entrepreneurship-focused sixth and seventh floors of the makerspace are completed later this year.

Jordan Glasser
Head Designer, Bari Jay Fashions
Advice for Fashion Students
"Stick with it. Practice makes perfect. We just had an intern who had no idea how to even begin drawing a fashion figure. Seeing the difference in her skills with some instruction was incredible! I did an internship while I was studying at FIT and it gave me the real-life experience I needed to get my first job."
When she was 6 years old, Jordan Glasser '14 would spend hours helping her grandma transform hand-me-down clothes into dress-up costumes.
She never imagined that, one day, she would be making a living turning visions of empire waists and princess seams into one-of-a-kind bridesmaid dresses.
As head designer at Bari Jay Fashions in New York City, Glasser dreams up designs for bridesmaid and flower girl dresses and oversees their creation from start to finish. What begins as a series of sketches ends as a 30-piece collection, available at bridal boutiques nationwide.
One of the most rewarding – and surreal – moments of Glasser's career so far was wearing her own design – as a bridesmaid in a close friend's wedding. She was one of six bridesmaids who said yes to the dress, a floor-length, dusty pink, V-neck, off-the-shoulder gown.
Why Oneonta?
Glasser grew up in Albany, NY, and chose SUNY Oneonta for its proximity to home and availability of a wide variety of academic majors, including Fashion and Textiles.
"Going to Oneonta gave me the reassurance that I could pursue fashion or choose something else – it was more of an exploratory time of my life. I knew I had an interest in fashion, but I wanted to be open to other ideas."
While at Oneonta, Glasser joined the Student Fashion Society and, during her junior year, designed a line of five dresses – black with gold and red accents – for the club's annual fashion show. With a stacked-up schedule, she finished her core classes and fashion electives and decided to take a theatre class in costume illustration. That's when she realized, once and for all, that she wanted to pursue a career as a fashion designer.
She applied to the Fashion Institute of Technology through SUNY Oneonta's 3+1 visiting student program and was thrilled to be accepted. After spending a year honing her evening wear design skills, she graduated in 2014 with both a bachelor's degree in Fashion and Textiles and an associate's degree in Fashion Design.
The Road to a Dream Job
After graduation, Glasser tried out four different jobs, including one designing prom dresses and another designing furniture prints for a home décor firm. But none was the perfect fit.
Then, in 2018, Glasser and five friends from FIT had an entrepreneurial idea. What if they could combine fashion with philanthropy by designing a clothing exhibition reflecting the charities that mattered to them? They created a variety of garments, rented a space and planned an event that attracted more than 400 people – and some favorable media attention. "It was really well-received," Glasser recalls. "It felt really cool to do something with fashion that wasn't expected."
A few days later, Glasser got an email from Bari Jay inviting her to apply for the head designer position.
A Day in the Life of a Fashion Designer
A typical day—after commuting from her Harlem apartment to the Bari Jay offices in Yonkers—involves juggling logistics for dresses in production with plans for future lines. Glasser might be sending final prototype measurements to an overseas factory one moment, and researching fashion trends the next.
Each line starts with about 70 sketches, and the transformation from sketch to dress takes more than a year. Glasser sends blueprints to the factory and waits for the first prototype. Then, there's a back-and-forth process with design adjustments before the first dress is cut and sewn. Each piece in the line is finalized, there's a photo shoot, and the dresses go to market.
"The most challenging thing is trusting myself," Glasser says. "You never can be too sure of what is trending or if something is going to work, but you have to believe in it."

2020 could be the year that drones really take off
By Scott Petty
Credits: Ed Robinson/OneRedEye
Scott Petty, Chief Technology Officer, Vodafone UK
Scott Petty, Vodafone UK's chief technology officer, argues that equipping drones with SIM cards could help unleash their full potential.
As 2020 begins, thoughts inevitably drift towards what the year ahead holds. For many of us that means well-meaning New Year's resolutions, but technology experts are once again seeking to pinpoint emerging trends.
Over the next 12 months we could see the most transformative technology taking shape in the skies above us.
There are huge potential benefits to be had from emerging drone technology, and if we get it right, we could soon have drones delivering medical supplies to people in our most congested cities and harder-to-reach communities. Drones can also monitor and respond to traffic accidents, track animals, monitor crops, watch for poachers and provide aid when natural disasters strike. The potential benefits are huge.
All of this explains why the global civil aerial drone market is expected to almost triple over the coming decade, to £11.4bn in 2028. But to make the most of the new technology in the UK, we first need to deal with questions and concerns about irresponsible and illegal drone usage.
Most drones are currently controlled via hand-held radio transmitter with flights restricted to the radius of radio signal reception, meaning that they have to fly within visual line of sight of the pilot. But as Vodafone argues in our new report, there are huge gains to be had from drones that are able to fly safely "beyond visual line of sight"; something that is possible via the safer and more secure alternative of cellular-connected drones with an inbuilt SIM card connecting them to a mobile network.
Only with a cellular-connected drone is it possible to track and control the device so that it can be flown safely and securely from some distance away. Cellular connection can provide further benefits as a complementary system for verifying location and the ability to have dynamic no-fly zones which can provide significant security benefits.
Understandably, it is this type of drone use that the public wants to see more of. While rogue operators have previously attracted negative headlines from incidents such as at Gatwick Airport in 2018, polling shows that the vast majority of the public would support the more widespread adoption of drones if there were a mechanism to provide increased safety, security and monitoring. For example, 92% of people support drone use for tacking fires and natural disaster relief.
To ensure the UK moves in the right direction on drones, the Government should recognise and analyse the substantial benefits that can come from cellular-connected drone use. It is only by pushing forward with the development of these drones that the UK can fully benefit from the use of the new technology, whilst ensuring they are flown safely and securely.
Across the world, organisations are waking up to the benefits of responsible drone usage. Here in the UK, the London Fire Brigade has been trialling the use of drones to improve safety for their firefighters and to allow more accurate responses to incidents. Firefighters also used drones to tackle the giant blazes during Paris's recent Notre Dame cathedral fire. By doing so, they were able to make tactical choices to stop the fire at the time when it was potentially occupying the two belfries of the cathedral.

Further afield, drones fitted with high definition thermal cameras are increasingly used to track, inspect and monitor livestock remotely. The government of Assam in India partnered with Tata Consulting Services to use drones to conduct surveillance, identify unauthorized settlements, and deter poachers in Kaziranga National Park. With drones spread over 480 square kilometres, they can now identify poachers from their heat signatures even if they are hiding in thick foliage. Already, this effort has proved beneficial for the vulnerable one-horned rhino.
If we get it right, then it is not just our emergency services and endangered species that will benefit. The economic prize for the UK could also be enormous. By 2030, it is estimated that there will be 76,000 drones in the skies above the UK and 628,000 jobs in the UK drones economy. Drones are also expected to contribute to considerable GDP uplifts in many industries, including £8.6bn in construction and manufacturing, £7.7bn in wholesale, retail trade and food services and £11.4bn in the public sector.
All the signs are that, in the next few years, responsible use of drones is set to bring huge gains for the economy and society. The UK is ready to reap the benefits of cellular-connected drones technology, and if we do, then 2020 could be the year that drone technology truly takes off.

The defence in the matter of the Prosecutor v Jean Pierre Bemba Gombo has filed a claim for compensation and damages against the International Criminal Court (ICC). In submissions filed before Pre Trial Chamber II, the defence first claims under the ICC's power under Article 85 of the Rome Statute to award compensation in the event of a "grave and manifest miscarriage of justice." The defence also seeks compensation for the loss arising out of the seizure of property, either under Article 85 or as a result of liability arising out of the Court's duty to properly manage those assets.
Regarding the first part of Mr Bemba's claim, the submissions point to various errors in the Bemba trial judgment and issues in the way the case was conducted, arguing that these factors together amount to a miscarriage of justice. For example, the defence argues that there were errors in 8.3% of the evidence citations, which demonstrate a pattern of mismanagement of the trial process which resulted in a miscarriage of justice. The defence also argues that the prosecution dropped one investigation and instead presented a case based on command responsibility that was not based on evidence. It submits that this case should have been dropped in the first place but was not due to the prosecutor's focus on charges against Mr Bemba.
The submissions also set out the basis on which compensation should be measured, referring to Rule 175 of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence. The defence claims damages for Mr Bemba's incarceration over ten years resulting in loss of liberty and injury to feelings, aggravated damages as a result of the Prosecutor's refusal to avow that the detention was false imprisonment, and consequential loss as a result legal costs and property that was damaged, devalued or destroyed.
During the hearing on 11 March 2019, Thomas Kwoyelo requested Uganda's International Crimes Division (the 'ICD') in Gulu to transfer his case to the ICC. Mr Kwoyelo argued that due to delays in the proceedings, which have been ongoing for 10 years, his access to justice has been severely denied. Mr Kwoyelo, a former commander of the Lord's Resistance Army ('LRA') is facing 93 charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed between January 1995 and December 2005. Mr Kwoyelo has been in detention since 2008. His initial appearance before the ICD took place in 2011. The hearing on 11 March 2019 before the ICD in Gulu was preceded by a series of postponements. His initial appearance in 2011 was delayed due to questions over the applicability of amnesty law. The Supreme Court denied this applicability in 2015. Even though the confirmation of charges hearing was initially scheduled to take place in 2016, it was only in August 2017 that the 93 charges against Kwoyelo were confirmed.

Grindhouse thrills
I spent a lot of time at the movies in the late 1970s and early 1980s, at indoor theaters and drive-ins alike. It was a very impressionable period for me (though I had to rely on others to take me, or at least drop me off, not being old enough to drive) and a lot of those movies likely warped me for life. After all, it wasn't exactly THE BAD NEWS BEARS or THE BLACK STALLION I was seeing. It was more likely ROLLING THUNDER or THE KILLER ELITE (and god bless those underpaid ticket sellers who never bothered to check IDs.)
With that background, I was keen on the concept of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's GRINDHOUSE and its attempt to pay homage to the low-budget exploitation films of that time. Double feature - cool! Trailers in between - cooler! Unfortunately, I wasn't that taken by the movie itself. I felt both of the films - PLANET TERROR and DEATH PROOF - were too long by about 20 mins. each. And though I liked quite a bit about DEATH PROOF, I found it relentlessly padded in classic Tarantino style, with endless circular discussions of pop culture and close-ups of women's feet. As great as the last 20 mins. of DP were, I found the first two-thirds somewhat numbing. I can't imagine how it plays now that Tarantino has extended it to feature length for European release (it debuted at the Cannes festival earlier this month). In all, I think the double-feature gimmick would have worked better if the films had been shorter, and the joke not played out so long. And, as writer Jim Harrison has said, after awhile the whole post-ironic irony thing becomes nothing more than "scratching your own tired old ass."
However, this weekend I got to revisit a genuine grindhouse film from that period, 1975's RACE WITH THE DEVIL, starring Peter Fonda and the great Warren Oates. I saw the film on its original release at a Pennsylvania drive-in, paired with BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES (the same drive-in where I saw VANISHING POINT and FRENZY, among other films). I hadn't seen it in the intervening 32 years though, and I wasn't sure how it would stand up.
I shouldn't have worried. When it comes to genuine bang-for-your-buck grindhouse value, RACE WITH THE DEVIL delivers.
The plot's as simple as they come, but RACE hits a trifecta of '70s genres. It's a road movie, supernatural thriller and rural action flick all in one. Oates and Fonda are motorcycle designers who head off on vacation in a Vogue motor home (on loving display, inside and out, for most of the film. Its furnishings include an early '70s microwave oven) with their wives, played by Loretta "Hot Lips" Swit and Lara "Dark Shadows" Parker. They're traveling from Texas to Colorado, but on their first night out in the Great Nowhere, they stumble upon a group of Satanists making a human sacrifice. Vacationers flee, Satanists follow. And follow and follow. That's the story. (If it sounds familiar, 1993's JUDGMENT NIGHT, starring Emilio Estevez, is essentially the same movie set in urban Chicago rather than the Southwest.)
Once that chase begins, RACE almost never lets up. Every small town they come to is creepier than the next. Everyone stares at them knowingly and the phones never seem to work. The film hits high gear with a long stretch of pre-MAD MAX highway mayhem, with Satanists in a variety of vehicles trying to run them off the road or clamber aboard the RV to get at the driver, with the vacationers occasionally popping off at them with a shotgun.
If *that* sounds familiar, it should. Watching RACE WITH THE DEVIL, it occurred to me how closely the chase choreography mirrors what George Miller did in the climactic chase of THE ROAD WARRIOR six years later. Of course, the whole concept dates back to John Ford's STAGECOACH in 1939, but the two chases echo each other so closely that someone involved in ROAD WARRIOR had to have seen RACE WITH THE DEVIL at some point. Instead of WARRIOR's tanker truck, the target is an RV, but once the final chase - down a long straight stretch of desert highway - gets under way, the similarities abound. The Satanists drive a bizarre assortment of vehicles - including, in both films, a tow truck - and scramble onto the roof of the RV to attack it from above. Plowing along at high speed, the RV swerves from side to side, pushing smaller pursuing vehicles off the road. Cars careen, crash, tip over and roll a dozen times. Stuntmen fly through the air, earning what hopefully was a generous paycheck. The only thing missing is a gyro-copter dropping rattlesnakes on the bad guys from above. And it all happens in what Roger Corman would have called "a cracking 88 minutes"
Make no mistake, THE ROAD WARRIOR is a far superior piece of cinema in every respect. Its climactic chase is brilliantly conceived and executed, and can take your breath away no matter how many times you've seen it. But its roots are in RACE WITH THE DEVIL, a film which effortlessly encapsulates what Rodriguez and Tarantino were striving so hard to emulate. For an authentic grindhouse experience, look no further.

Actor and magician David Kovac has a great story to share -- namely his own. Kovac's one-man comedy, "Fooling Buddha," now receiving a fun world-premiere run by First Folio Theatre in Oak Brook, revolves around his memories of being raised as a Buddhist in 1970s Milwaukee.
Through "Fooling Buddha," Kovac looks back to the seminal religious and childhood experiences that shaped the course of his life and his chosen career as an entertainer. Kovac serves up plenty of laughs to match with his personal nostalgia, plus facts about Milwaukee at the time via a retro carousel slide projector.
As a child, Kovac soon became aware that his parents' decision to raise their children as Buddhists made him stand out as an oddity to his schoolmates -- particularly to bullies. As a defense, Kovac looked to find ways to deflect his peers' taunts. One was becoming a quick-witted class clown, much to the dismay of teachers and school administrators at his junior high.
Kovac also reveals how he was fascinated by the world of sleight-of-hand magic, and how it provided solace and motivation.
"Fooling Buddha" is not an out-and-out "magic show." But Kovac deploys a few basic illusionist tricks with cards and balloon animals to help illustrate aspects of Buddhist philosophies.
These simple tricks have an autobiographical aspect as well. Kovac dramatizes them in context to his childhood visits to the long-gone Milwaukee magic shop called The House of Illusion.
These delightful segments reveal how Kovac was indoctrinated into the subculture of magicians and their showbiz secrets. Kovac maintains a joyful tone with constant smiles and witty banter. Yet by the show's end, these tricks are called into question when the unhappy fates of Kovac's early mentors are revealed in quick succession.
Kovac keeps the audience laughing and entertained throughout "Fooling Buddha," though one of my small criticisms is that he could do a more articulate job of highlighting the show's central conflicts to beef up some of the drama, such as when Kovac's anger conflicts with his religious upbringing. "Fooling Buddha" plays like a series of entertaining personal vignettes that endeavor to be enlightening, though the teachings don't always linger in the memory as much as Kovac may wish.
Yet Kovac's continually clever onstage presence is a droll delight, and director/co-developer Patrick New helps keep audiences engaged throughout the show's finely paced 90 minutes.
"Fooling Buddha" is also handsomely designed. Angela Weber Miller's sets fold out like an oversize cabinet of curiosities to reveal key locations in Kovac's early life, including his family's dated kitchen, the magic shop and his school.
You don't have to know Milwaukee like the back of your hand to enjoy Kovac's laughs and childhood philosophical dilemmas, though the world premiere would have been a natural for Milwaukee Repertory Theatre. For now, just be grateful that the suburbs got to see it first.
