Silencing the Berbers
Posted by basmaradwan
By guest contributor Rosalie Calvet
A little less than a year ago, a prestigious American university hosted a conference about French-Algerian history, gathering the leading specialists of the topic.
A prominent French scholar closed his presentation by opening the debate to the audience. Immediately, one of his North American fellows asked "Since you do not speak Arabic, do you feel somewhat limited in your work on French Algeria?"
"I see what you mean," he replied, "but fortunately, we have the archives of the colonial administration, so French is enough."
Suddenly, a man, sitting on the first row of the audience, stood up, and, speaking in French, replied "I am Algerian. I was born before the Independence. You taught us French and nothing else. We had to learn Arabic after the War of Liberation. Arabic must come back to Algeria."
And then, another man, sitting next to him, added "Arabic … and Berber. Nobody talks about Berber. Historians have forgotten that North Africa is the land of the Berbers."
Who are the Berbers?
The indigenous population of North Africa, the Berbers call themselves i-Mazigh-en, "free-men" or "noble" in Tamazight. If over the centuries, the Berbers have split into smaller communities, the Chleus in Morocco, the Touaregs in Libya and the Kabyles in Algeria, they have remained faithful to a clear sense of unity. The history of the Berbers is that of an identity constantly reshaped by internal and external mutations, of cultural blending and ongoing intellectual developments and innovations. Invaded by the Phoenicians around 800 BC, the Berbers were incorporated into the Roman Empire in 200 BC and their land constituted the cradle of European Christianity. The Arab Conquest of the seventh century led to the merging of Berber and Arab culture, the conversion to Islam and the fall of the Christian Church. Between the eighth and ninth centuries, a series of Muslim-Berbers dynasties ruled over the Maghreb (the Arabic name for North Africa) achieving its territorial and political unity. Most of the region, except for Morocco, passed under Ottoman domination in 1553 and remained part of the empire until the nineteenth century. During this period, the three political entities composing modern North Africa emerged. While Tunisia and Morocco were to become protectorates of France, in 1881 and 1912 respectively, Algeria was to be French for over a century.
During the first decades of colonial rule (1830-1871), the French authorities privileged Berbers over their Arab fellows (8). The main goal of the administration was to eradicate Islam from Algerian identity (23). According to French observers, the Berbers seemed keener to renounce their Muslim legacy, as they more closely resembled the French and shared their Christian roots.
Eugène Delacroix, Fantasia Arabe (1833), Städelscher Museums, Germany. One of Delacroix's most famous representations, of a "fantasia" (a traditional Berber military game played on horseback) he witnessed in North Africa. The composition, centered on three moving figures, reflects Delacroix's fascination with the 'wildness' of the cultures he depicts.
To fuel this narrative, the French progressively constructed the "Kabyle Myth." In 1826, the Abbé Raynal claimed that the Kabyles were of "Nordic descent, directly related to the Vandals, they are handsome with blues eyes and blond hair, their Islam is mild." Tocqueville wrote in 1837 that the "Kabyle soul" was opened to the French (182). Ten years later, the politician Eugène Daumas claimed that the "Kabyle people, of German descent […] had accepted the Coran but had not embraced it [and that on many aspects] the Kabyles still lived accordingly to Christian principles" (423). This the reason why French colonial officer Henri Aucapitaine concluded that: "in one hundred years, the Kabyles will be French" (142).
The situation shifted in 1871 when two hundred and fifty Kabyle tribes, or a third of the Algerian population, revolted against the colonial authorities. The magnitude of the uprising was such that the French decided to "fight the Berber identity […] which in the [long-run] empowered the Arabs."
From then on, the differences between the Berbers and the Arabs became irrelevant to France's main priority: to maintain its control over the local populations by fighting Islam. The idea emerged that to be assimilated to the French Republic, Algerian subjects needed to be "purified" from their religious beliefs.
By the Senatus-Consulte of July 14th, 1865, the French had ruled that "Muslim Algerians were granted the right to apply for French citizenship […] once they had renounced their personal status as Muslims"(444). This law, which had established a direct link between religion on the one hand and political rights on the other, now further reflected the general sense of disregard towards the diversity of cultural groups in Algeria, all falling into the same overarching category of Muslim. After the 1880s, the French gave up on the Kabyle myth, marginalizing the Berbers who had become a source of agitation.
Henri Rousseau, La Baie d'Alger (1880), Private Collection. In this view of the Bay of Algiers, the Douanier Rousseau pictures a Berber tribe.
As the independent Republic of Algeria triumphed in the Fall of 1962, the newly funded regime identified the Berbers as posing an "existential threat to the Arabo-Muslim identity of the country" (103).
Repeating the French practice of destroying those regional identities allegedly challenging the legitimacy of an aggressively centralized and centralizing state, the leaders of Algeria denounced the political claims of the Berbers as a "separatist conspiracy," and after 1965 the Arabization policy became systematic throughout the country.
To assess the respective impact of colonization, nineteenth and twentieth century nationalist pan-Arab ideologies and the role of post-independence Algerian leaders upon the persecution of the Kabyles after 1962 constitutes a somewhat limited debate.
It is, however, critical to acknowledge the responsibility of the French state in the marginalization of the Berbers after the 1871 Kabyle riot. Progressively, the colonial administration changed a model of mixed and complex identities strongly rooted the Maghreb tradition into a binary model (235). Within this two-term model, people could only define themselves on one side or the other of a rigid frontier separating authentic French culture from supposedly authentic colonized culture. As Franco Tunisian Historian Jocelyn Dakhlia argues in Remembering Africa, "the consequence of such a dualistic opposition of colonial identities was [… ] that the anticolonial movement stuck to this idea of an authentic native Muslim Arabic identity, excluding the Berbers" (235).
The very existence of the Berbers thwarts any attempt to analyze Algerian society in a way that resorts to a rigid griddle, whether in racial, cultural or religious terms.
This is probably the reason why the French, and after them the independent Algerian state, have utterly repressed the legacy of Berber culture in the country: for the Berbers could not exist in the dualistic narrative underlying both colonial and anti-colonial. As historian Michel-Rolph Trouillot, would argue, they became unthinkable, and were silenced and excluded from History.
Yet, the most curious factor in this non-history is the paucity of French scholarship on the issue. (50). While some academics do focus on creating conversations and producing literature on the question of Berber identity, the most renowned French scholars systematically fail at doing so. As a direct consequence, most French academic discourses reproduce and maintain the somewhat convenient imperial division opposing the "Arabs" in the North to the "Blacks" in the South of Africa, thereby forgetting that the Sahara is not a rigid racial frontier, and that for centuries the Berbers have been circulated throughout the region.
Centenaire de l'Algérie – Grandes Fêtes Sahariennes, Affiche, Musée de l'Immigration, Paris. This poster, issued by the French government in 1930, is an invitation to a military parade featuring colonial soldiers to commemorate the centenary of the 1830 conquest of Algiers.
Ultimately, the Berbers blurry the lines between colonial and post-independent notions of identity in North Africa. To acknowledge the Berbers would require scholars to accept their fluidity – a direct threat to the Western appeal for systemic and pseudo-universalist thinking, still prevalent in French academia despite the emergence post-colonial studies in the 1960s.
Recognizing the Berbers necessitates first, as claimed by Algerian scholar Daho Djerbal, to ask: who is the subject of History? This is the only way in which one can hope to put an end to the overly simplistic politics of identity imposed by the political power—on both sides of the Mediterranean Sea, on both shores of the Atlantic Ocean.

Aylesbury Vale and Dacorum councils scrap shared IT services plan
alicelynch 8 April 2013
Aylesbury Vale district council (AVDC) and Dacorum borough council (DBC) have scrapped plans to share their IT services.
The plans, intended to help generate savings and create improved and more resilient systems, were called off last month, according to a Dacorum spokesperson.
In a statement, Dacorum said, "Over the last few months, neighbouring district councils Aylesbury Vale and Dacorum have been exploring opportunities to develop a shared IT service. A range of options have been considered. Both councils have now concluded that given the differences in their services there are not sufficient financial benefits to pursue a joint IT service delivery model that could work for both. Instead, AVDC will support Dacorum in recruiting a new ICT management team for Dacorum.
"Despite the disappointment that the preferred option of a joint service is not being pursued, AVDC and Dacorum both feel that the experience has been worthwhile and they will work together on selected projects such as shared systems procurement and implementation and disaster recovery."
Issuing his own statement, AVDC's director Andrew Small told Government Computing, "We looked into the possibility of joining our IT services with those of neighbouring council, Dacorum. Dacorum were very keen to work with AVDC because of our knowledge, skills and experience.
"One of the joint services trialled was a joint IT service desk. We also discussed other IT areas such as the joint procurement of new systems. Despite the success of the shared IT service desk and good progress on the other projects, the level of investment required by the Dacorum IT service is such that Dacorum decided that it did not wish to pursue a long term, formal partnership.
"Instead Dacorum asked AVDC to support them in recruiting their own IT management team. We have agreed that joint work will focus on selected projects such as a disaster recovery system. The joint IT service desk arrangement ended on 31 March and AVDC will provide some on-going IT management support until May."
"The decision about the joint IT service does not affect other existing relationships AVDC currently has with Dacorum, such as the provision of payroll services."
An agenda item on Aylesbury Vale's website explained some more of the reasons for the end of the two councils' formal IT partnership plans.
It said, "The IT partnership was to cover all elements of the delivery of IT service: IT infrastructure development, IT service desk, IT strategy development, IT business systems management and project management of IT changes."
"The AVDC take-on of the management of the DBC IT service commenced in September/October. The first phase was the development of plans for a joint IT Service Desk which then commenced operation in early November. At about the same time the IT management team increased their involvement with the DBC IT service and in fact spent the majority of their time either at DBC or working on DBC related matters from AVDC.
"It became apparent from the more in-depth work carried out at this time that significant progress had been made by the consultants over the previous 12 months. Notwithstanding this progress however, there was still a wide range of initiatives that needed to be undertaken in order to provide the resilient IT service required to support the volume of change projects underway at DBC.
"There was a requirement for, at least temporarily, more staff and technical IT resourcing than had previously been estimated. DBC senior management requested a report to enable the budgetary implications of the additional resources required to be assessed."
The note added that DBC senior management reviewed the budgetary proposals and decided that it wished to change the development of the partnership on the basis that:-
"a) Because of the level of investment still required, that DBC would recruit its own IT management team to give it a dedicated team to manage the required changes. Consequently they did not wish to move ahead with an overall joint IT service with AVDC.
b) The joint IT Service Desk component, managed by the AVDC Service Desk Manager, should continue.
c) The project to develop a joint IT disaster recovery facility should continue. This was based on the synergies that would be created by the transfer of the DBC IT Data Centre to the Bucks County Council Data Centre at Amersham.
d) That work should continue to develop the project to create a joint, Cloud based, system for Planning Service System and GIS shared between AVDC, DBC and, potentially, a number of other authorities."
However, AVDC recommended that the joint IT Service Desk should not continue, because "there is no member of staff at DBC who can deputise for the AVDC Service Desk Manager on those days when he is working at AVDC.
"As a result far more time is spent managing the DBC elements of the Service Desk than can be devoted to AVDC work. While that situation was manageable in the context of the creation of a joint IT service it is not considered a feasible long term option in the absence of any strategic partnership. It is proposed that the service continues until the end of March to give DBC time to put in place their own Service Desk Management."

Bonzo the Seal is Reborn!
Filey / Tags: Bonzo, seal
The wooden sculpture of Bonzo the Seal situated on the Coble Landing has been a Filey landmark for decades. The weather, and countless thousands of children sitting on the seals back, was beginning to take its toll on the poor old seal and so Filey Town Council made the decision to commission a new Bonzo! In late September the new Bonzo was unveiled and he looks magnificent.
The original sculpture was placed on the Coble Landing to remember Bonzo the seal, who was rescued and brought up by Filey fishermen, "Jossy Buggins" (George Jenkinson) and his sons, Jim and Frank, in the mid-1920s. Bonzo was a tiny pup, probably a mere 12 pounds and would have probably died had he not been taken in by the fishermen. A zinc bath was filled with sea water up in one of the bait shed on 'Jenk's Alley' and the seal lived happily in there. However, he quickly outgrew his bath and by the new visitor season he had a new home in a wooden hut, with a concrete pool, near the Coble Landing. Visitors were charged to see the seal and Bonzo became a firm favourite. Bonzo was said to be 'the size of the Loch Ness Monster', so clearly life was good to the once tiny seal!
Bonzo was a tourist attraction for two decades before he finally departed for the fish-filled sea in the sky in 1940. Despite wartime reporting restrictions, his death was headline news in the Filey Post! The full story of Bonzo can be found on the Scarborough Maritime Heritage Centre's fabulous website.

Business Architecture is the bridge between the enterprise strategy and the architectures that describe the detailed IT elements that are needed to deliver that strategy.
It is the first step in creating an Enterprise Architecture and towards minimising the total lifetime cost of ownership of an enterprise's IT systems.
The enterprise architecture is a description of the IT strategy and drives its delivery. But that presents challenges of communication, stakeholder management and the ever-present pressure to deliver something immediately for the minimum immediate cost.
Effective communication and governance of the IT strategy are essential if it is to be realised. As is the identification of the true tactical steps towards strategic delivery.

Difference between TripleA Map and OOTB Map
Axis & Allies 1942 2nd Edition
innohub '19 '18 '17 '16 '15 last edited by
When I try the Triple A version 5 map (for 1942 2nd edition), I notice that the map and initial setup arrangement are different from the 42 2nd edition I have. Is there a reason why they are different (balance issue? Just for fun?) Just curious….also, In Triple A is there a place I can play with the exactly the same map and initial setup like the official one?
Hobbes last edited by
Could you list the specific differences you've found so that I correct them?
Sorry for the confusion. Today I looked at it again and in fact see no difference :-D. It was possibly the distortion of the map proportion that made me feel this way (and also meaning I am still a newbie in this game :lol:)
@innohub:
There was a mistake on the Indian ocean SZs so you might have noticed. I've already posted a fix it but it hasn't been added to the release version yet.
@Hobby
FYI - While I am playing with opponent today using AAA(play by forum), I think it occurred once that even I attack a submarine with destroyer and cruiser, the submarine from enemy side can still do a surprise attack before I fire. Is this a bug?
42 2E is a great game. I am addicted to it recently :mrgreen:
It's just the way TripleA manages combat, where any subs present will always fire first before surface ships (combat is coded to happen this way). But the end result is the same as A&A: any ships hit by the sub would get the chance to fire back.
Got you. Thank you for your clarification.

Hello, Baron Munchhausen. Nice to hear from you!
You raise many interesting points, and I'll try to respond to two of them. First, can a Southern Pacific strategy work for Japan even without assigning thematically ridiculous IPC values to tiny island chains? I think so. I agree that it would be off-putting to play a game where, e.g., the Solomon Islands plus the Caroline Islands were treated as more economically valuable than France. There are limits to how much you can edit the map without breaking the suspension of disbelief and ruining the theme.
That said, I don't think the 1942.2 map would take all that much tweaking. On the 1942.2 board, players will occasionally send a transport to take Australia even though it's not worth much, and there's little or nothing to use as an encore. If you valued Australia at 4 IPCs, New Zealand at 2 IPCs, the Solomons and Carolines at 1 IPC each, and Hawaii at 2 IPCs, that's 10 IPCs right there. It's not hard to find another 8 IPCs in South America: 2 IPCs in Chile/Peru/Bolivia, 2 IPCs in Argentina, 3 IPCs in Brazil, and 1 IPC in Colombia/Venezuela. All together you've got 18 IPCs, which I think is very respectable.
You could compare that total to a Western Pacific strategy (India, Persia, Burma, Italian East Africa, Egypt, Transjordan, Kazakh, Yunnan, and Szechuan add up to only 13 IPCs) or to a Northern Asia strategy (Soviet Far East, Buryatia, Sinkiang, etc. all the way west to Archangelsk, Vologda, and Novosibirsk is worth about 13 IPCs). Either strategy plus Moscow is still only 21 IPCs. So the Southern Pacific strategy doesn't strike me as hopelessly inefficient from an economic point of view.
Second, is a Southern Pacific campaign inherently too slow to be fun? I'll readily admit that it's less direct; if you head off toward southern Argentina, you are obviously not heading for the global epicenter of military power. You can't force a British surrender by crushing Buenos Aires; that's just not how that works. On the other hand, if the Axis controlled the entire southern hemisphere, with a sphere of influence stretching from Tokyo through Singapore, Basra, Addis Ababa, Capetown, Buenos Aires, and Sydney, isn't that a kind of win for the Axis? I understand there used to be an "economic win condition" for the Axis where they could win by controlling 100 IPCs or so worth of territory, and although the victory city mechanic has never been well-executed, there's no reason why it couldn't be improved to the point where people actually prefer using a victory city win condition.
I think the whole "race to the capital" mechanic is unrealistic and less-than-fun anyway; if you sack one capital without wrecking the empire it rules, the people who live in the capital will just relocate the capital and keep ruling their empire. You'll get some bragging rights and a few million barrels of oil, but nobody surrenders an intact superpower just because you squeeze into their capital – look at Napoleon in Moscow, or Robert Ross in Washington, or for that matter the British in World War II, who laid down supplies and trained secret army units in Worcester to protect Parliament, the royal family, and the BBC, with plans to continue retreating to Liverpool and then Canada if necessary.
So, yeah, if Japan just blitzes straight for San Francisco, then that's foolish and the Axis will lose. Similarly, if the designers allow you to drive tanks straight over the Himalayas with no movement penalty, and you pass up that opportunity, then that's foolish, and you deserve to lose. But if the designers tweak the map so that the trackless Himalayan Mountains and barren Gobi Desert and frozen Siberian tundra are harder to cross than the balmy, oil-rich South Pacific ocean – and if the Axis seize that opportunity to invade South America – then I think you'd get a really interesting game, where the players had to make gut-wrenching choices about what resources to invest in what theaters.

Isn't the Spring 1942 map basically identical to Revised? I looked at the two and didn't see any major differences.
Ah oh ye of having too little time or a life outside of games! There's a HUGE difference! Just look at the connectivity of Central United States!!!

Actually, I have come to reverse my previous position on the aesthetics of the map. It's not that bad. Just a few things stood out to me initially, like mongolia, or saudia arabia's nipple.
But I got a refresher of an old pic from an ex (MB and even Revised). And I'm quite happy with this new picece of tail.
Glad I produced a chuckle or two.
42.1 vs 42.2 Map?
@adaptation:
I don't know why people say Pearl Harbor cannot be done anymore - don't forget that the Japanese sub is now absolutely untouchable with the new rules and can always go for Pearl Harbor. You can get 3 fighters(9), 1 bomber(4), 1 cruiser(3), 1 sub(2) and 1 AC(1) (grand total of 19) VS sub(1),destroyer(2),AC(2),fighter(4) (Grand total of 9).
Over 95% chance of victory with average IPC losses around 16-18 depending on if you chose to lose a bomber or fighter after your sub.
Then you end up defending with 2 fighters ( 8 ), 1 cruiser (3), and 1 AC (2) (grand total of 13) VS 2 fighters (6), 1 bomber (4), 1 destroyer (2), and 1 battleship (4) (grand total of 16).
Over 95% chance of losing your Japanese fleet with an average IPC loss around 18-20 for America depending on if they chose to kill a fighter or bomber after their destroyer.
Plus US player submerges the sub right at the beginning of the J1 attack, allowing it to participate on the counter on US2…
Then you have to consider that UK1 has almost a 70% chance of wiping out the other half of your japanese fleet
You're goal here is India, not America. The only reason people did it before was it was a slam dunk with no losses most of the time with units you didn't need for India anyhow. It's a completely different story now. Now your looking at the annihilation of a majority of your fleet that you actually need to help take India.
Yup, if the UK attacked SZ37 then Japan has to wipe out any remaining UK fleet from that attack and get the UK transports as quickly as possible. Attacking the US fleet almost removes Japan from the Pacific after US1.
Bidding for the Machine, TripleA HardAI
Here's another fun set up for the Russians: The Vologda expansion!
Russian AI gets 1 extra factory, 2 tanks and 1 infantry behind the Urals. (A set bid of 30 ipcs)
+5 flat rate recurring income bonus to each of the Allies.
The extra tanks give Zhukov more to work with, whether to guard the rear in Asia, or to launch forward against G. The +5 to base income helps the Soviets to maintain, and perhaps to make use of their new production center eventually, which is here mainly as a draw for Axis and an achille's heel. It's like an interior Karelia, but one that Axis can't immediately steal 😉
The income bonus to the Western Allies, allows them to overcome some of their naval goofs, to present a stronger threat over time.
Production expansion games like these might be fun in other areas of the gameboard (like for AI USA), but just thought I'd offer one for the Russians to kick it off. Vologda always struck me as a wasted space on this board, totally empty of units. I always thought it might have been more entertaining and significant if it housed a starting factory, which also gives Russia just a bit more each into the East. Using the AI Bid concept, you could try some fun AI redesigns, using the same essential 1942.2 framework but with just a twist here and there.

Q: Prestashop 1.6 blank page no error reporting I have turned on error reporting and debug mode:
//defines.inc.php
define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', true);
@ini_set('display_errors', 'on');
define('_PS_DEBUG_SQL_', true);

Also i have tailed -f php_error.log, apache_error.log, mysql_error.log
Only relevant i got is:
[01-Dec-2014 10:12:07 America/Bogota] PHP Notice:  Trying to get property of non-object in /Users/david/Documents/Developer/Php/PuntoCompra/puntocompra/modules/posstaticblocks/ajax.php on line 9
[01-Dec-2014 10:12:07 America/Bogota] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'LIMIT 1' at line 4

            SELECT m.*
            FROM `puntocom_module` m
            JOIN `puntocom_module_shop` ms ON (m.`id_module` = ms.`id_module` AND ms.`id_shop` = 1)
            WHERE m.`id_module` =  LIMIT 1

  thrown in /Users/david/Documents/Developer/Php/PuntoCompra/puntocompra/classes/db/Db.php on line 635

I dont think this has something to do, since the front and backoffice are working fine except that when i submit or update a product i got a blank page. This is happening in both develpment and production environments.
Anyway here is my ajax.php
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'../../../config/config.inc.php');
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'../../../init.php');
include(dirname(__FILE__).'/posstaticblocks.php');

 $pos = new posstaticblocks();
 $name_module = $_POST['module_id'];
 $module = Module::getInstanceByName($name_module);
 $id_module = $module->id;
 $hooks = $pos->getHooksByModuleId($id_module);
 $hookArrays = array();
 foreach($hooks as $key => $hook) {
    $hookArrays[$key] = array('id_hook'=>$hook['name'], 'name' => $hook['name']);
 }
 $json = json_encode($hookArrays);
die(json_encode($json));

Also i think this is not related but in my front office only in development environment i've got this:
 Notice: Undefined property: Possearchcategories::$_html in /Users/david/Documents/Developer/Php/PuntoCompra/puntocompra/modules/possearchcategories/possearchcategories.php on line 237

I have also cleared the cache.
Where else can i seek out for this problem?
Edit:
This is my url before the product update:
//localhost:8888/adminxxxx/index.php?controller=AdminProducts&id_product=10&updateproduct&token=019b50f16c6927fc989c8d98fa9ebbed

And this is after my update
//localhost:8888/adminxxxx/index.php?controller=AdminProducts&token=019b50f16c6927fc989c8d98fa9ebbed&id_product=10

I have inspected the network response and this is what firebug shows:

This makes me think that ajax answer with non responding request in the ajax.php file mentioned above has the fault in this matter. It seems that there is a missing module..
Edit 2:
Turns out that when loading the products page there is the following ajax post request:
POST //localhost:8888/modules/posstaticblocks/ajax.php

With the following parameters:
module_id   undefined

And the response:
"[{\"id_hook\":\"displayFooter\",\"name\":\"displayFooter\"},{\"id_hook\":\"displayHome\",\"name\":\"displayHome\"},{\"id_hook\":\"displayLeftColumn\",\"name\":\"displayLeftColumn\"},{\"id_hook\":\"displayRightColumn\",\"name\":\"displayRightColumn\"},{\"id_hook\":\"displayTop\",\"name\":\"displayTop\"}]"

So i've done the following don't kill me please mod:
// /modules/poststaticblocks/ajax.php
$name_module = $_POST['module_id'];
if($name_module == "undefined")
    $name_module = "posstaticblocks";

And the error is gone!, but the blank page is still showing

A: change the line 451 in /controllers/admin/AdminModulesPositionsController.php
$all_modules_controllers = Dispatcher::getModuleControllers($type);

to
$all_modules_controllers = Dispatcher::getControllers($type);

Which seems to have eliminated the problem, without giving new problems.
So it has to be a bug in the new Prestashop ver. 1.6.0.6

Indický subkontinent je obrovský subkontinent na jihu asijského kontinentu, který se rozkládá na indické zemské desce a zasahuje do Indického oceánu. Na severu se stýká s eurasijskou zemskou deskou. Tato oblast je označována jako subkontinent proto, že místní geografie a geologie je zcela odlišná od zbytku kontinentu. Rozkládá se v oblasti subtropického (vliv monzunů) a tropického pásu. V jižní části subkontinentu mezi Arabským mořem a Bengálským zálivem leží poloostrov Přední Indie.

Geografie
Indický poloostrov je díky mořím a horám, které ho obklopují, oddělen od okolního světa. Proto zde probíhal poměrně samostatný vývoj. Pohoří Himálaj chrání tuto zemi před suchými větry z Tibetu, a naopak zachycuje větry přenášející deště, které způsobují hojnost srážek. Na jihu se rozkládá Dekánská plošina, kde v průběhu historického vývoje vznikla další svérázná kultura, a podél obou pobřeží pak Východní a Západní Ghát. Na severozápadě nalezneme poušť Thár a na severu Indoganžskou nížinu.

V Himálaji také pramení největší indické řeky Ganga, Indus a Brahmaputra. Ganga a Brahmaputra spolu vytvářejí největší deltu na světě. Indus se vlévá do Arabského moře, Ganga do Bengálského zálivu. To vše dohromady zajišťuje vhodné podmínky pro zemědělství a říční dopravu.

Zemědělství
Znalost zemědělství se do Indie dostala z Mezopotámie. Indové využívali velkých řek, které při záplavách přinášely úrodné bahno. Pěstovali obilí (hlavně pšenici a ječmen), sezam, bavlnu a luštěniny. Chovali koně, ovce a hovězí dobytek. Kráva se stala pro svou užitečnost dokonce posvátnou. V Indii se velmi brzy začal místo rádla používat pluh. Vlákna bavlny byla materiálem pro výrobu látek. Nejdůležitější plodinou je rýže. Dále se pěstuje cukrová třtina, čaj, bavlna, juta (na výrobu pytlů), kokosová palma a ovoce.

Je známá Indická kuchyně, která používá speciální indické koření.

Dějiny

Vyspělá města se v povodí Indu objevila už ve 3. tisíciletí př. n. l. Byla stavěna podle jednotného plánu. Vždy měla pravoúhlé ulice a dělila se na dvě části – na vyvýšený hrad neboli citadelu a podhradí. Kolem roku 1500 př. n. l. byl vývoj těchto měst násilně přerušen vpádem indoevropských árijských kmenů. Ty si podmanily domorodé obyvatelstvo a vytvořili stát v povodí řeky Gangy. Tento stát byl po dlouhou dobu jediným větším státním útvarem na tomto území. Proto mohl do Indie ve 4. stol. př. n. l. proniknout makedonský král Alexandr Veliký, nestál mu totiž v cestě žádný silný stát, který by jej mohl zastavit. Jeho vpád však otevřel Indii obchodní cesty na západ. Obchodovalo se hlavně s indickými bavlněnými, vlněnými a lněnými látkami a s drahokamy.

Obyvatelstvo
Je zde velká rasová, národnostní a jazyková pestrost. Protože se jedná o bývalou britskou kolonii, hlavním dorozumívacím jazykem je angličtina. Je zde zastoupeno mnoho jazykových rodin. Nejrozšířenější jazykovou rodinou jsou indoevropské jazyky, konkrétně její větev – indoíránské jazyky. Druhou nejrozšířenější jazykovou rodinou jsou drávidské jazyky, kterými se mluví převážně na jihu indického subkontinentu. Mezi menší jazykové rodiny patří austroasijské jazyky, sinotibetské jazyky, několik izolovaných jazyků, např. burušaskí, a andamanské jazyky.

Z rasového hlediska je obyvatelstvo směsicí původních obyvatel, kteří se smísili s mnoha vlnami europoidních nájezdníků ze západu (Persie a střední Asie). Směrem z Himálaje a Barmy na subkontinent zasahuje i mnoho mongoloidních etnických skupin. Co se týče náboženství, je zde nejrozšířenější hinduismus (převládá v Indii) a islám (Pákistán a Bangladéš). Věda zabývající se jazykem, kulturou a historií etnik indického subkontinentu se nazývá indologie.

Státy
Na indickém subkontinentu se nachází státy:
 Bangladéš
 Bhútán
 Indie
 Maledivy
 Nepál
 Pákistán
 Srí Lanka

Q: Bash - change text copied to the clipboard using xclip I am trying to convert text copied to the clipboard from something like this:
+50.8863-114.0157/

to something like this:
geo:50.8927777778,-114.013055556,0

I found this code on the Web:
#!/bin/bash
x="geo:"$(xclip -o | tr -d ' ')
notify-send $x -i info
xclip -selection c

but it just removes the white space.
What I need to do is:
having +xx.xxxx-yy.yyyy/ in clipboard
where x and y are numbers 0 - 9

*

*extract the text from the clipboard as an argument

*cut + from the beginning

*add geo: in the beginning

*add xx.xxxx after geo: (no spaces)

*add , after xx.xxxx (no spaces)

*add yy.yyyy after , (no spaces)

*cut / from the end

*add ,0 to the end (no spaces)

*return the result to the clipboard

ADDED LATER
I figured that out myself. Here is the code that worked:
clipboard_original="$(xclip -o)"
latitude=${clipboard_original:0:8}
longitude=${clipboard_original:8:9}
clipboard_for_digikam_geo=""geo:""${latitude//+}"00000,"${longitude//+}"00000"
echo "$clipboard_for_digikam_geo" | xclip -selection c
exit

A: This oneliner is basically what you need:
xclip -o | sed -rne's/\+?(-?[[:digit:].]+)\+?(-?[[:digit:].]+)\//geo:\1,\2,0/p' | xclip -i

Explanation:

*

*xclip -o outputs the X selection to the standard output

*sed <regex> parses the format you gave (ignoring leading +'es) and prints the replacement text

*

*-r switch instructs the sed to interpret regular expressions as Extended Regular Expressions (ERE) (quick intro here),

*-n suppresses the output of (unmatched/unwanted) input -- so we have to explicitly print with the p command (the last letter in sed script)

*-e script defines the sed script:

*

*s/regexp/replacement/ will match regexp in each line of input (only the first occurrence) and replace it with replacement (which can include input groups, like \1). The p in the sed script actually prints the replacement text.

*regexp (in short) is made up of two identical consecutive subpatterns: <optional +>(<optional -><one or more digits/dot>). Parentheses define a group which we use in the replacement.

*xclip -i sets X selection from stdin (sed's output)

Don't tear yourselves apart, Ontario Conservatives
Peter Varley
Contributed to The Globe and Mail
Published August 15, 2013 Updated August 15, 2013
This article was published more than 7 years ago. Some information in it may no longer be current.
The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario is a rambunctious outfit. It's been said that a member vote could be taken to reaffirm our colour as blue and a third would vote it down – just, well, because.
In good times, it's part of our charm: Ours is a wide-open party, full of people with good intentions and bursting with ideas for making Ontario a better place. In difficult times, however, the tendency borders on suicidal. And these suddenly appear to have become difficult times. The question we need to ask is, why?
Mindful of this quirk of ours, I watched with dread as Premier Kathleen Wynne called the five Aug. 1 by-elections – in the dead of summer, guaranteeing a meagre voter turnout, which every student of politics knows favours the incumbents (who've won 18 of the last 26 since 1995). In fact, the last time the Ontario PCs won a by-election in a seat we didn't already hold was in 1994, just months before Mike Harris's first majority win – from third place.
Still, Windsor-Tecumseh delivered its best PC showing since 1963, as noted by The Windsor Star. The second, in London West, was scrambled by the Liberals' unfathomable decision to rig the nomination for the very teachers union turncoat who, just months before, had boasted of the havoc he had wrought for the party. This ensured just the kind of "Berlin Airlift" of concentrated union muscle in support of the New Democrats we all saw on lurid display in last September's contest in Kitchener-Waterloo. The third, in Scarborough-Guildwood, remained Liberal owing to a shameless vote-buying about-face in favour of subways. (Whiff of gas, anyone?) A fourth, in Ottawa South, has been a McGuinty family fief for a generation. Despite these obstacles, we finished second in all four.
That left Etobicoke-Lakeshore – the scene of a breakthrough. Not since 1999 has a Conservative won anywhere within the 416. This is an undeniable achievement for leader Tim Hudak – as well as for candidate Doug Holyday, of course.
Across the board, the Progressive Conservatives garnered far more votes than either of the other two, in a demonstration of momentum that foretells victory in the next election: 54,368 PC votes, versus 47,213 for the Liberals and 45,941 for the NDP. Indeed, the Liberal vote collapsed in all of them – each a former Liberal fortress held by four ministers and one premier. But now, "the knives are out," all because of wonky splits on the left and a couple of predictably erroneous polls.
In fact, these aren't knives. They're plastic spoons, wielded by a handful of cranks and abetted by a clique of narcissists who have opted to put their own political vanity ahead of the best interests of a Conservative enterprise that is clearly on the move. The core group of agitators remains largely anonymous, too – just when I imagine Ontarians are fed up with nameless "sources" conducting their vendettas through the media.
This, in turn, has led to a torrent of incoherent commentary: Hudak has no policy. No, Hudak has plenty of policy, but it's too right-wing. No, it's not right-wing enough. Hudak is no Mike Harris. Hudak is a Mike Harris clone. Hudak is too nice. Hudak is too mean.
Around and around it goes, threatening to tear us apart from within just when we should be bracing for victory in an election as early as this fall, on the strength of measurable momentum behind a capable and good man with a clear plan for turning Ontario around: lower taxes, affordable energy, leaner and more accountable government, an assault on the Liberals' utterly unsustainable deficits and debt.
Mr. Hudak is right. He's been right all along. It's time to put away the pirate hats and wooden swords, and let him get on with the job of defeating a corrupt, exhausted and dangerously profligate Liberal regime. Ontario conservatives have seen this movie before. As in 1995, let's play it to the final reel, and another happy ending.

UnWholly (Unwind Dystology #2) (Hardcover)
Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 9781442423664, 416pp.
Prebound (10/15/2013)
MP3 CD (11/3/2015)
It's finally here. The long-awaited sequel to the bestselling Unwind, which Publishers Weekly called a "gripping, brilliantly imagined futuristic thriller."
Thanks to Connor, Lev, and Risa—and their high-profile revolt at Happy Jack Harvest Camp—people can no longer turn a blind eye to unwinding. Ridding society of troublesome teens while simltaneously providing much-needed tissues for transplant might be convenient, but its morality has finally been brought into question. However, unwinding has become big business, and there are powerful political and corporate interests that want to see it not only continue, but also expand to the unwinding of prisoners and the impoverished.
Cam is a product of unwinding; made entirely out of the parts of other unwinds, he is a teen who does not technically exist. A futuristic Frankenstein, Cam struggles with a search for identity and meaning and wonders if a rewound being can have a soul. And when the actions of a sadistic bounty hunter cause Cam's fate to become inextricably bound with the fates of Connor, Risa, and Lev, he'll have to question humanity itself.
Rife with action and suspense, this riveting companion to the perennially popular Unwind challenges assumptions about where life begins and ends—and what it means to live.
Neal Shusterman is the New York Times bestselling author of more than thirty award-winning books for children, teens, and adults, including the Unwind dystology, the Skinjacker trilogy, Downsiders, and Challenger Deep, which won the National Book Award. Scythe, the first book in his newest series, Arc of a Scythe, is a Michael L. Printz Honor Book. He also writes screenplays for motion pictures and television shows. Neal is the father of four, all of whom are talented writers and artists themselves. Visit Neal at StoryMan.com and Facebook.com/NealShusterman.
Praise For UnWholly (Unwind Dystology #2)…
"A breathless, unsettling read."--Kirkus Reviews
"Shusterman continues to develop and expertly twist plotlines begun in the first book, picking up the pace with short chapters and a present tense narrative while interspersing for verisimilitude actual recent news items about real organ harvesting and abandoned and "feral" teens. Perfectly poised to catch the Hunger Games wave and based on an even more plausible dystopian scenario...Fans will want to get their hands on this the second it's released."— Booklist
* "Smart, intense, and thought provoking, this series will stick with readers."
— VOYA, starred review
"Shusterman elegantly balances the strikingly different perspectives of the three main protagonists effectively, and these dissimilar approaches to life highlight the ways in which the larger world grapples with unwinding. …The high quality of UnWholly will inspire readers to go back to see what was missed as well as stoke anticipation for the final book."—Horn Book
Thematically rich and packed with action, commentary, and consequences, this is a strong pick for dystopia fans that will also appeal to reluctant readers.
— BCCB
"This sequel to Unwind is well worth the wait...the characters, action, and drama make it easy for readers to be drawn into the story and the weighty issues, such as what it means to be human and what it means to sacrifice for others. Several plot twists at the end not only make for a satisfying conclusion, but also expertly set the stage for the final installment of the trilogy."

Bitcoin price LIVE: Bitcoin CARNAGE as price falls to $10,000 - Ethereum crashes too
BITCOIN is looking increasingly vulnerable as regulatory rumblings in China, South Korea and the US cause prices to drop. However many crypto analysts maintain that they've seen it all before and bitcoin will bounce back.
By David Dawkins
PUBLISHED: 07:17, Wed, Jan 17, 2018 | UPDATED: 14:11, Wed, Jan 17, 2018
Bitcoin regulations could soon bite
14.08 - UPDATE - Ripple worth less than a buck
New kid on the "block" (or not) Ripple is now worth less than a dollar as its price has collapsed from above $3.50 to just $0.98.
Ethereum is also struggling at $8.59.
Bitcoin has steadied a little but is still down at $9,801.
1.44pm - UPDATE - From $19k to $9k
Dennis de Jong, managing director at UFX.com, told Express.co.uk:
"After riding on the crest of a wave for the majority of 2017, Bitcoin traders have been left scratching their heads as to how the cryptocurrency has slipped as low as $9,000 after hitting heights of $19,000 just one month ago.
"While some of the newer currencies on the market went from strength to strength in December, it looks as if there has been an adverse effect on their durability too – Ripple has tumbled more than 40 per cent for the year so far.
"Despite this blip, it's still too early to suggest the bubble has completely burst, and this could be the 'price adjustment' that market experts had warned of lately.
"The majority of those experts maintain that market volatility is to be expected, so don't be surprised to see a resurgence in Bitcoin in the coming weeks – it's unlikely that there will be any largescale panic departures from the market just yet."
12.16pm - UPDATE - Price slides further but don't panic
Despite the current crypto chaos Daniel Duarte Figueiredo, co-founder at blockchain firm Auctus, is still optimistic.
He told the BBC: "I believe that Bitcoin price will recover to its highest values and might even break some new records later this year because. it has been gaining more and more attention in mainstream communication channels and attracting the interest of new investors worldwide," he said.
"Cryptocurrencies in general, including Bitcoin, still have a lot to grow in 2018. Maybe not as much as they did in 2017 in relative terms, but I think that the percentage of people that know about cryptocurrencies and use them is still very low and will increase this year."
11.25am - UPDATE - New low of $10,106 on Coindesk
Bitcoin has hit a new low as the price prepares to lose a digit and head to $9,000.
On January the 18th, it was just a month and a day ago that bitcoin climbed to above $19,000.
This could very well be the "price adjustment" about which we have all been warned.
BitcoinLive: Cryto experts say they've seen it all before
10.39am - UPDATE - Bitcoin still heading south
The price of bitcoin is heading south at $10,319 at the time of press.
Ripple is having a shocker and is currently at $1.06 and could even fall below the $1 mark today.
The sensible middle-brother Ethereum (ivan Karamazov if you will) is down at $904 dollars.
9.33am - UPDATE - Bitcoin 'global regulation'
Would a uniform set of global regulations kill the cryptocurrency craze?
Earlier this week the director of Germany's central bank said national rules will struggle to contain something that has become a global phenomenon.
Joachim Wuermeling told an event in Frankfurt: "Effective regulation of virtual currencies would therefore only be achievable through the greatest possible international cooperation, because the regulatory power of nation states is obviously limited."
8.56am - UPDATE - 'Crash and burn'
Steven Englander, head of strategy at New York-based Rafiki Capital told Reuters: "Bitcoin is deciding whether this is the moment to crash and burn."
He said: "My conjecture is that cryptocurrency holders are trying to decide whether to abandon bitcoin because its limitations mean it will be superseded by better products or bet that it can thrive despite them."
Price at the time of press is $10,899.

8.33am - UPDATE - 'Pyramid scheme'
Wells Fargo chairman and CEO Dick Kovacevich said that he believes bitcoin is a scam and a "pyramid scheme" amid a continuing demand for the cryptocurrency.
See the interview, here.
Discussing the longevity of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, Dick Kovacevich told CNBC: "I think it's a pyramid scheme. It makes no sense. I'm just surprised it isn't even lower.
"I never called it a fraud because there's no fraudulent thing going on... the fundamentals make no sense."
8.23am - UPDATE - British bitcoin holders stuggle to turn loaded digital wallets into real cash
Bitcoin price is DOWN again to $10,721.
Ethereum is now at $989.
Ripple is $1.19.
Holders of bitcoin in the UK are struggling to 'cash-out' their swollen wallets and make their earnings real.
The Financial Times has revealed that turning cryptocurrencies into pounds has become a huge problem for British investors with high fees and complications increasingly common for international money transfers.
The large sums of money also draw suspicion from UK banks.
The time it takes to withdraw money makes it impossible for traders to respond to changes in the market price.
Tim Cowan, a 35-year-old crypto trader told the FT:"In the past I've been burnt by the price dropping £2,000 while I was waiting to transfer my money out.
"You just have to pray that it goes up again."
8.22am - UPDATE - Don't worry... yet
On yesterday's price plunge, Clem Chambers, CEO of ADVFN and Online Blockchain told Express.co.uk this morning:
"This doesn't come as a massive shock. It is just the volatility you'd expect from a revolution, the kind of volatility that has been missing from equities for years.
"No need to hit the panic button if you are a long term holder, but if you are a trader, a fall to $6000 is not impossible."
Very difficult for bitcoin holders to make their money real
7.25am - UPDATE - Death, taxes and price volatility
Bitcoin's price is down at $11,158 and heading south.
After a torrid day yesterday, bitcoin looked to be recovering but news of new regulations and bans from national governments has send the price falling again.
South Korea and China have become the two hotspots for price disruption since the new year and with Chinese authorities now wanting to ban citizens from trading in bitcoin.
Chinas state-run Securities Times reported yesterday that the country is planning to widen the scope of its crackdown on domestic crypto-trades, by targeting methods including over-the-counter trading, offshore sites used for centralized trading, and peer-to-peer trading of large transactions.
Bloomberg are also reporting that Chinese officials will block domestic access to local and offshore platforms that provide centralised trading.
It is also believed that the government could target people who trade large amounts of bitcoin.
Ethereum's price has fallen below $1,000 to $992.
Ripple is down at $1.19.

What have researchers learned about the roots of human emotion? That's the focus of "The Nature of Emotion, 2nd Edition," a recently published book drawing from scientific experts including collaborators and scientists from the Center for Healthy Minds offering multiple viewpoints on the nature and origins of emotion.
Center collaborator and co-editor of the book Alexander Shackman shares the latest research on the mind and our understanding of our emotions. Shackman is an assistant professor in the department of psychology and the director of the Affective and Translational Neuroscience Laboratory at the University of Maryland. The co-editors of this book are Richard Davidson, Andrew Fox and Regina Lapate.
We've built upon the legacy of previous editions and selected more than 100 leading emotion researchers from around the world and asked them to address fundamental questions about the nature and origins of emotion, looking at what's generally agreed upon as a field and where the jury's still out.
What shifts have occurred in the study of emotion?
Affective scientists agree that emotions evolved, that they are more adaptive than not and that they are central features of daily life. But beyond this limited agreement, recent years have witnessed a vigorous and persistent debate about the nature of emotion with leading theorists challenging shared conceptual assumptions that has inspired and guided the field for the past quarter-century.
At the heart of this debate lies a fundamental question: What are emotions and how should we define them? Are they natural objects waiting to be discovered and catalogued (like stars) or are they constructs imposed by humans on the natural world (like constellations)? How one chooses to answer this question has clear ramifications for every other fundamental questions about the nature of emotion.
What have we learned about the science of emotion in recent years?
We've learned that emotion plays a central role in human experience and there is an abiding interest, among scientists, clinicians and the public at large, in understanding the nature of emotion, identifying its biological underpinnings, and determining its contribution to other psychological processes, from cognition and decision-making, to health and disease.
Over the past quarter-century, methods for eliciting, assessing and analyzing emotion have become increasingly refined and techniques for making sense of the underlying neurobiology have become more powerful and precise. The roughly 100 essays that make up the new edition of The Nature of Emotion embody many of these exciting developments and make plain the important conceptual advances that have been made since the publication of the first edition in 1994. Despite this progress, it is clear that our understanding remains far from complete.
One of the most striking developments has been the growing prominence of neuroscientific approaches to emotion or what has become popularly known as affective neuroscience. Skeptics have questioned whether neuroscience can provide conceptually important evidence, and hundreds of millions of research dollars have been spent on the assumption that it can. There is compelling evidence that studying the brain is useful for determining the nature, and not just the biological bases, of emotion.
We also know that neurobiology has been helpful for unveiling otherwise hidden features of emotion. For example, we've learned that reward (or pleasure) is not a single, indivisible thing, but can instead be split into wanting (appetitive motivation, craving and desire) and liking (hedonic pleasure and positive emotion). A similar story has emerged for fear, with mounting evidence that fear can be broken into two or even three more basic constituents. Beyond their implications for emotion theory (e.g., How many emotions are there? Are emotions organized into families?), these data provide new insights into both how we can better understand the underpinnings of addiction and anxiety disorders.
What are the challenges facing this field of research and what are the most fruitful avenues in the future?
Although the field has made considerable progress since the publication of the first edition of The Nature of Emotion in 1994, it is clear that our understanding remains far from complete. Some challenges are conceptual. For example, we still do not know much about the cascade of psychological and neural processes that link specific emotional challenges to the appropriate responses. We do not yet have a deep understanding of how the brain chooses a particular suite of responses in the face of conflicting information. Given an approaching danger and a possible means of escape, how does the brain "choose" between evading detection, flight or active kinds of defense?
Other challenges are more methodological in nature. For example, the biomedical sciences are currently wrestling with problems of not being able to replicate research findings. Studies that we thought were rock solid – ones that have been incorporated into textbooks or used to guide the development of new treatments for disease – have upon re-examination failed to replicate. This problem is not specific to affective science or even psychology, it's a much broader problem.
In the book, we discuss a number of approaches, many of them quite simple to adopt, that can enhance the reproducibility of emotion research. Another methodological challenge stems from the gap separating work in humans and animal models, mice, rats and so on. Both are important, but too often they are siloed by the customs and conventions of contemporary research, presented at different research conferences, and reported in different journals, read by different communities of scientists.
We also emphasize the need to go beyond the lab. Are insights gleaned in the lab or in the scanner really relevant to everyday life, to real-world experiences and phenomena? It's an important question, with important implications for health, well-being and disease – after all, disorders of emotion do not arise in the lab, they evolve and unfold out there in daily life.
Some of the most important substantive areas for future research in the emotion sciences includes work focused on understanding the interplay between emotion and cognition, the myriad ways in which we (intentionally or unintentionally) regulate one another's emotions, the role of microbes in our guts and bodies, and the mechanisms that underlie the development and malleability of emotion across the lifespan.


With the equivalent to 25 plants for every Kapiti resident, New Zealand Transport Agency's acting Wellington highways manager, Neil Walker, said the work involved 1.3 million locally sourced, primarily native plants to cover 140 hectares of land.
The area of wetland habitat on the Kapiti Coast would also get a boost with five square metres of wetland replacing every square metre lost or removed because of the expressway's construction.
"It is more than just an expressway. We want to create a scenic drive, a shared pathway and an enduring corridor of plant life. The work will improve the local biodiversity and ecological connections on the Kapiti Coast, helping flora and fauna to thrive," Walker said.
M2PP Alliance project manager Alan Orange agreed.
"We also expect to see our local bird, lizard and native fish populations grow as a result of the landscaping and planting work.
"Our ecologists are working closely with the construction team to make sure we protect Kapiti's precious native resources," he said.

JUDICIAL ELECTIONS: Los Angeles Superior Court Office No. 107
Subordinate Judicial Officer Spars With Prosecutor
By ROGER M. GRACE, Editor
Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Emma Castro will face Deputy District Attorney Joan M. Chrostek in the June 3 primary.
Castro was found "not qualified" for a judgeship by the State Bar Commission on Judicial Nominees Evaluation—something she refuses to discuss. A Los Angeles County Bar Association Judicial Elections Evaluation Committee subcommittee this month adjudged her "qualified" and she has opted not to appeal.
Chrostek, who was taken to task in a 2008 report by her office for deficient performance in a spousal abuse case—which culminated in a husband with dangerous propensties being released from custody and proceeding to slay his wife—is presently appealing a JEEC rating of "not qualified."
Chrostek was profiled last Thursday. Today: Castro.
EMMA CASTRO
Superior Court Commissioner Won't Discuss 'NQ' Rating From JNE Commission
Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Emma Castro is mum.
She refuses to disclose the bases upon which the State Bar Commission on Judicial Nominees Evaluation recently found her "not qualified" for a Superior Court judgeship.
When an applicant for a judgeship catches the governor's eye (or that of his staff), the person's name is submitted to the commission, known as "JNE" (and pronounced "Jenny.")
Those seeking trial court posts go before a two-member subcommittee (while aspirants to appellant court posts face four questioners). At least four business days before the interview, the subcommittee must send the candidate all of the "negatives" garnered from questionnaires it sent out that were returned, and the candidate is given an opportunity to address the concerns orally.
The subcommittee makes a recommendation, and the rating is determined by the full commission. Where a candidate gets a passing grade, the rating, which is confidential, goes to the governor, and it is not revealed to the applicant; where there is a "not qualified" rating, the candidate is told of it, and has an opportunity to appeal to a review board.
Castro practiced juvenile dependency law for more than 30 years before undertaking duties as a commissioner in June, 2011. In meeting with the MetNews—before it was learned that she was secretly rated "not qualified"—she acknowledged that her name had been sent to JNE, and purported to recite the extent of the "negatives" supplied to her prior to the interview:
"Depth and breadth of experience because I don't have a criminal background…and I had very little probate experience. I've done quite a few guardianships through the probate court. And my family law experience was more than 20 years ago when I was in private practice.
"I disagree that my breadth and depth of experience was insufficient, because most of us as practitioners become specialized, and most of the judges that are elected or appointed come from backgrounds, singular backgrounds."
Once the JNE rating was later ascertained by this newspaper, Castro declined to discuss it by telephone, or respond to specific questions posed in e-mails. She said, in a written statement, sent by e-mail:
"I am sure you are aware of the strict Confidentiality requirements set forth in the Government Code and the State Bar of CA, JNE Rules regarding unauthorized release of JNE ratings of judicial applicants to the Governor's Office. I do not feel it is appropriate to violate these rules."
Candidate's Disclosure Permitted
There is no rule against the disclosure of ratings by candidates for appointment.
To the contrary, Rules of the State Bar, rule 7.20, mandating JNE confidentiality, specifies: "(C) This rule applies to the Board of Trustees, commissioners, and employees and agents of the State Bar but not to candidates."
(Too, Government Code §12011.5 refers to the "privilege" of confidentiality. Given that confidentiality of an adverse rating is for the benefit the candidate, it is the candidate who is the holder of the privilege, with power to waive it.)
The lack of any restraint on a candidate discussing a JNE rating was communicated to Castro by e-mail. She has remained unwilling to discuss the rating.
Under Rule 7.26(B)(4), where a candidate's practice has been confined to a single area of law, that, alone, could not give rise to a "not qualified" rating. A candidate is deemed "qualified" if he or she possesses "qualities and attributes sufficient to perform the judicial function adequately and satisfactorily" and is "not qualified" if in possession of "less than the minimum qualities and attributes required by these rules."
Castro leaves to conjecture why she was "dinged" by JNE.
A consolation to her might be that a subcommittee of the Los Angeles County Bar Association's Judicial Elections Evaluation Committee this month found her "qualified" for a judgeship. Had she decided to appeal to the full committee, she would have stood a chance of having the rating boosted, but would also have risked the prospect of it being lowered to "not qualified." She decided not to appeal.
Question Unanswered
One of the questions posed to Castro by e-mail, to which she did not respond, was whether she had neglected to disclose to JNE something which she did discuss with the MetNews: her drunk driving conviction.
Here's her explanation of that episode:
"In 1996, that's almost 20 years ago, I was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. I had to complete a 90-day alcohol education program, which I did. No one was in the car, there was no property damage.
"That was a singular and isolated instance for which I am very embarrassed to have to reveal, but I think in all candor, I should reveal that….I do not, and have never had, an alcohol abuse problem.
"And that would be the only negative information in my life."
Opponent's Ballot Designation
Castro has criticized the ballot designation of her opponent, Deputy District Attorney Joan Chrostek, who claims to be a "Major Narcotics Prosecutor." Chrostek does not seek convictions of those accused of major narcotics offenses. Rather, she handles ancillary civil proceedings aimed at seizing assets of those who are convicted through efforts of deputy district attorneys who handle trials.
Yet, Castro made no effort to contest the designation.
This conversation took place:
MetNews: Why didn't you challenge her ballot designation?
Castro: Because it's a very costly procedure. You have to hire a lawyer,
MetNews: Why? You're a lawyer.
Castro: I'm a lawyer. I would not have had the time to be able to do that.
MetNews: Did you contact the Registrar Recorder's Office?
Castro: No.
MetNews: Why not?
Castro: Because, to contest a ballot designation, you need to go through the channels of the court procedures.
MetNews: If you seek a writ.
Castro: Yes.
MetNews: But you can make a telephone call to the Registrar-Recorder's Office and pose an objection to your opponent's designation, can you not?
Castro: Honestly…I do not know the answer to that. I did not do that.
Farming Community
Castro, who turned 62 yesterday, was born in Lompoc, in Santa Barbara County, the daughter of farm workers who emigrated from Mexico.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Zeke Zeidler reflects:
"[I]t was not until her swearing in ceremony that I became more aware of her background; her mother was assisted by a Spanish language interpreter at that event, and Emma spoke of the working class background in which she was raised. It added another dimension to understanding her accomplishments throughout her career."
Castro graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara, then obtained her law degree at UCLA in 1977. She was admitted to practice on Nov. 29, 1978.
While at UCLA, she was impressed by a speaker at a recruitment event, Arthur L. Goldberg, a campus activist in the 1960s who was dismissed from UC Berkeley where he was a founder of the Free Speech movement, and later dismissed from Howard Law School in the District of Columbia. Castro went to work in 1978 for his Echo Park firm, Goldberg, Fuchs, Working Peoples Law Center, becoming a partner in 1983.
She was a sole practitioner from 1989-2006, was supervising attorney in the Law Office of Barry A. Herzog of Los Angeles Dependency Lawyers, Inc., 2006-2008, and director of her own law office, also affiliated with LADL, from 2008-2011. LADL is a non-profit law group, comprised of four law firms, representing parents in dependency cases.
Lead Plaintiff
Castro became the lead plaintiff in Castro vs. Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors which sought to enjoin operations of the Dependency Legal Court Services, forerunner of LADL, created by the board in 1989. As she recounts it:
"It was to replace the existing loose affiliation of private attorneys that were contracted to represent parents and children in proceedings. In the creation of the organization, it was presented that there would be four offices, all under one roof, under one director, representing different interests of parents and children.
"We filed an application for a restraining order, saying there were conflicts in one office representing multiple parties with divergent interests. Many of these cases had three or four parents.
"Respondents then offered to create new, different offices, and what they call, quote-unquote, Chinese Walls, which means that there are different administrative staff, different handling of case files, different directors, for each one of mother, father, and the third parent. And the application for permanent restraining order was denied. It was a very quick procedure, occurred in a relatively short period of time."
Decision Appealed
The action was filed April 25, 1990. On July 19 of that year, then-Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Yaffe denied a preliminary injunction, finding that the facts put forth were merely hypothetical. Castro appealed.
The Court of Appeal for this district affirmed on Aug. 2, 1991. Writing for Div. Three, Justice Edward Hinz said that DCLS was comprised of three separate law firms, and actual conflicts did not exist.
He pointed to the appellants' interest in the matter:
"Plaintiffs Castro and [Elaine] Rosen are members of a panel of attorneys who, pursuant to court appointment, have hitherto represented parties in dependency court. Plaintiff Juvenile Courts Bar Association is an association of attorneys who have represented parties in dependency court proceedings. If DCLS provides contracted legal services, they will be in lieu of services plaintiffs would have otherwise provided."
Hired as Commissioner
Castro on May 20, 2011, was elected by judges as a court commissioner.
"I asked to have a non-juvenile assignment so I could have a breadth of experience," Castro recounts. "My plan was to eventually become a judge.
So I was assigned to a limited civil assignment in the Antelope Valley in the Antonovich Courthouse in Lancaster. And I had a calendar of unlawful detainers, small claims court, a motion calendar, a domestic violence restraining order calendar, and traffic court calendar."
She was assigned to a dependency court in Lancaster, and at the start of this year, began handling delinquency cases in Eastlake.
Judicial officers have conflicting views of her performance.
One says she is "absolutely unqualified to be a judge."
Another says she has a "horrible demeanor," "doesn't get her work done," and is a "poor calendar manager."
Zeidler has an opposite impression, remarking:
"A large part of a judge's job, often ignored in judicial elections, is management (of a courtroom, a court calendar, a court case, and court staff). In my experience interacting with her as a supervisor of court appointed counsel in my courtroom, her management was exemplary."
Judge Robert Draper hails her as "exceptionally well qualified."
Another jurist terms her "very smart, straight forward."
Juvenile Court Presiding Judge Michael Nash says, "I do not get any complaints about her," and notes she was a "highly respected lawyer."
Timothy Martella, a dependency lawyer who says he has known Castro for more than 20 years and is on her election committee, remarks:
"As a lawyer she was tenacious in her defense of the parents in their quest to regain custody of their children. Our law firm appeared in front of her during her stay in the Lancaster Dependency Court. She was very fair to all parties and had great judicial temperament."
Dependency lawyer Nancy Brucker opines that Castro "is a knowledgeable and smart bench officer," adding: "Los Angeles County would be lucky to have her as a judge."
Castro is a member of the California Court Commissioners Association, Mexican American Bar Association, Los Angeles County Bar Association, California Judges Association, Hispanic National Bar Association, and the Latina Lawyers Bar Association.
Divorced since 1985, she lives in Mt. Washington and belongs to various civic organizations there.
