Arsenal v Aston Villa
Gibbs 16′ Walcott 25′ Arteta 90′
Goals from Kieran Gibbs, Theo Walcott and Mikel Arteta gave Arsenal victory over Aston Villa and took their winning run to seven Premier League matches.
Gibbs exposed some poor defending and goalkeeping from Villa to put the hosts in front with a crisp low finish.
Arsenal were dominating their opponents and doubled the lead when the excellent Walcott collected Alex Song's lofted ball and slotted past Shay Given.
Arteta wrapped up the match in stoppage time with a stunning free-kick.
- This was the first time two Englishmen have scored in a Premier League game for Arsenal since 1997
It was another important result for the Gunners, moving them three points above fourth-placed Tottenham - who drew 0-0 with Chelsea earlier in the day - and continuing their superb upturn in form.
For much of the season their hopes of a top-four finish looked in serious doubt, but that now looks comfortably within their grasp.
Their day did not start so well as centre-back Laurent Koscielny pulled out of the side after feeling a knee injury during the warm-up.
More trouble loomed when his replacement, Johan Djourou, required lengthy treatment after being hit in the face by Emile Heskey's arm.
But the Swiss recovered and, aside from a Marc Albrighton drive that sailed over shortly after the re-start, Arsenal were in total control.
Villa had no answer to the pace of wingers Walcott and Gervinho, and allowed Arsenal far too much time and space to pick passes to the pair.
There was an early warning when Given parried Walcott's strike after a sharp exchange between Walcott, Bacary Sagna and Robin van Persie.
Villa, who remain three places above the relegation zone, were desperately lacking the defensive leadership of injured captain Richard Dunne - never more so than when Arsenal opened the scoring.
Alan Hutton, Stilyan Petrov and Chris Herd stood still as Gibbs collected Gervinho's pass and fired in an effort that Given should have saved.
Walcott then skilfully met Thomas Vermaelen's diagonal ball and ghosted behind Stephen Warnock before Carlos Cueller arrived with vital clearance.
Villa had lost only one of their previous eight away games and they briefly threatened when Stephen Ireland broke clear and crossed towards Heskey, only for Vermaelen to intercept.
Arsenal were swiftly back on the offensive and their reward came when Song found Walcott and he stepped inside Cuellar to side-foot home.
Given saved well from a Van Persie header and Arteta's drive, while Warnock brilliantly nodded Van Persie's goalbound shot over the bar.
The second half was more even, with Djourou needing to be alert when Albrighton crossed for Gabriel Agbonlahor, while Song headed over and Tomas Rosicky tested Given from distance.
Both managers used their full quota of substitutes and one of Villa's, Andreas Weimann, benefited from an error by one of Arsenal's, Andre Santos, but dragged wide when clean through.
Arteta then had the final word, producing a magnificent set-piece with virtually the final kick.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger:
"We had a great first half. We knew we'd given a lot at Everton on Wednesday and the start was very important for us today.
"In the second half we dropped a bit our pace and level but what we've done this week is outstanding, given the quality of the game at Everton and today.
"They were three great goals. Villa defended well but we created chances, didn't concede and our momentum keeps going."
"At the moment we are in a strong position and it will be down to our results and how we play until the end of the season."
Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish:
"You can come here and lose but we're disappointed in the manner we lost the first two goals - they were definitely preventable.
"We got in about them in the second half and Andy [Weimann] had a fine chance, but we didn't get that goal and Arteta wrapped it up.
"It's Arsenal we were playing, don't forget - one of the elite clubs.
"We did lay plans to try and win the game and definitely had the power and team to get goals, but the early goals nailed us."

Finding Goryeo Ginseng
Long known for its medicinal powers, ginseng has been used as a preventative and proactive tool in warding off disease. Ginseng is one of Korea's most well-known roots, with known medicinal uses dating back thousands of years. This popular root isn't easy to come by. Too make matters worse, as Korea lacks many natural resources, the ginseng root is difficult to cultivate. To satisfy the high export demand of ginseng, Punggi has been successfully manufacturing ginseng dating back to the times of the Goryeo Dynasty 1122. Since this time Goryeo ginseng has prevailed internationally as Korea's prominent ginseng. 28 year old American, Susan Crawford, head out to the Punggi Ginseng Festival in Punggi, Yeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do Province to experience the traditions of Punggi.
Punggi Ginseng Festival
Located in the midst of the Sobeaksan Mountains in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province, the Punggi countryside has historically been know as Ginseng country. Ginseng farms have been well established in this region since the 16th century, and are presently Korea's most famous area for the cultivation of ginseng. Here, ginseng is cultivated at heights of 400-500 meters in the highlands of the Sobeaksan Mountains. This cool climate and fertile land is what makes Punggi Ginseng so strong. The Punggi Ginseng Festival coincides with harvest time in early October. One can purchase fresh ginseng that was picked one to two days before the festival begins. Many visitors enjoy the experience of digging up their own ginseng. This festival is lively and full of various events that are sure to please all.
Highlights of the Punggi Ginseng Festival
1. The Best Ginseng Contest
[1st place]
[2nd place]
[3rd place]
There are four things to look for when selecting the 'BEST' ginseng. The first thing to look for is the cleanliness of the root as well as how much the root should take the form of a person. Second, the thickness of the outer layer and the weight are examined. Third, as the length is examined, one looks for the form of eight lovely leg-like shapes. Lastly, the ginseng should be raised for 6 years (When ginseng is grown for more than six years, the root hardens and loses its medicinal effects. Ginseng that grows in the wild does not lose its effects over time.) If visitors to the festival wish to purchase award winning ginseng, they must contact the owner of farm where it was produced.
2. Ginseng Cookers Contest
[1st place: Ginseng Cheese Gimbap(김밥)]
[2nd place: Ginseng Samsaekpyeon(삼색편)]
[3rd place: Ginseng Tangsuyuk(탕수육)]
This popular contest displayed the various ways that ginseng can be utilized in cooking. This contest looks for original ideas combined with delicious tastes. This year's first place was awarded to the creator of Ginseng Cheese Gimbap. The cheese reduces the powerful aroma and the bitter taste of ginseng. Second place was given to the maker of Ginseng Samsaekpyeon (a traditional style rice cake), and third place was awarded to the creator of Ginseng Tangsuyuk (Korean style sweet and sour pork). Susan especially enjoyed the Ginseng Tangsuyuk saying that it was a dish that many foreigners would enjoy.
*Traditional Korean foods and drink
Samgyetaang (삼계 탕)
Chicken, ginseng, glutinous rice, jujubes, ginger, and other nutritious ingredients are boiled until the broth becomes a whitish color. This traditional Korean dish is most enjoyed in the summer to help the body overcome the heat. Koreans believe that hot cures hot.
Ginseng Rice Porridge
Ginseng is combined with rice, jujubes, and an assortment of other healthy foods, and then boiled over a long period of time. This rice porridge is often given to those suffering from illness or fatigue. The effects of ginseng in the porridge are known to help those suffering from coldness in the hands and feet. Ginseng is known to bring stamina, while jujubes tend to warm the body.
Ginseng Tea
Ginseng and Jujubes are boiled over a long period of time producing a uniquely Korean tea. The bitterness of the ginseng is lessened in the boiling process making it easier to drink.

4. Lunch (Ginseng Galbi)
Near the festival grounds, Susan enjoyed Punggi's local cuisine of ginseng galbi (seasoned grilled beef). The galbi is marinated in a seasoning that contains ginseng. The result is a softer beef with less of a beefy smell. This delicious local favorite is a must when in Punggi.
* Ginseng Pork Galbi(200g) - 6,000 won / Ginseng Galbi (domestic beef)(500g) - 30,000won

◎ Type of Ginseng
"Undried Ginseng(or Fresh Ginseng, 수삼)
The picture to the left illustrates ginseng that has yet to be processed. The root consists on 70-80% water. This causes the ginseng to be damaged easily or spoil quickly, resulting in difficulties in long term storage.
White Ginseng(백삼)
White ginseng has been used in dried form for a long time to improve quality and storage and to reduce volume and weight since Fresh ginseng is a form of ginseng picked from dry field and contains about 75% moisture and it is difficult to maintain freshness and quality longer than a week.
[For Domestic markets] [For foreign markets]
Red Ginseng
Cultivated for four to six years, the picture to the left shows dried red ginseng in its original form. After removing the moisture from the root, the ginseng can be good for over 10 years and is said to generate approximately 8 special benefits to the body. Red ginseng has been produced and sold throughout Korea from 1899 to 1996.
The picture to the left indicates Korean ginseng that is only for domestic sales, while the picture to the right indicates ginseng that is produced for foreign markets. One small mark is all that differentiates the two.

◎ The way to choose the best Ginseng

I have a medical collection for a whoppinig $40 on EQ. I tried to back door the CA and call the OC since they never responded to several settlement letters. After 45 minutes on the phone with the OC they have NO record of the debt. I asked how the CA got the debt and was told it was issued to them. This was verified with a DV letter from the CA. Is my next step an MOV letter? I would like to pay it and be done with it but I have never had any settlement response from them.
The debt collector is required to have "obtained" verification. The statute does not define the procedures.
They could quite possibly have their own records that they consider adequate to verify the debt. The fact that the OC no longer retains records does not, per se, mean that the debt collector cannot verify the debt.
When providing debt verification, they are not required under FDCPA 809(b) to provide supporting documentation, so you have no way under the DV process itself to challenge the actual accuracy of their statement that they have obtained verification. To compel documentation of their verification requires getting the matter before a judge.
The method of verification (MOV) process applies only to requests sent to a CRA relating to the procedures they used in their reinvestigation of a dispute.
There is no requrement under either the FCRA or FDCPA that a debt collector provide the method of their verification of a debt.
It's a small amount, have you tried a PFD with the CA?
I have tried PFD and other communication. The only thing they answered is a DV letter from November. I have made multiple attempts to reach a settlement for the FULL amount (HA!) and they refuse to return phone calls and such.

Netflix already proves that raising DVD prices was the right move
Wall Street is punishing Netflix today for its earnings report yesterday, in which Netflix admitted that its insane growth rate would slow down a little after it changed its subscription plans and effectively raised prices on DVD rentals.
But anyone running away from Netflix today is missing the bigger, long-term picture: Netflix made exactly the right decision, and it's already working.
The only statistic that mattered in Netflix's quarterly report to shareholders yesterday is this: Almost 75% of new subscribers are signing up for the streaming-only plan, reflecting a "gain in popularity."
For Netflix and the movie rental industry, streaming is the future, and mailing discs around the country in envelopes is not. This isn't just based on a hunch — it's based on real people signing up for new Netflix accounts.
To move Netflix and the industry forward, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings must be laser focused on his next 25 million subscribers. Already, only 1 in 4 of them wants to rent DVDs from Netflix. That percentage will continue to drop, and Netflix is smart to speed up that process however it can.
That means creating the right streaming packages for them and acquiring enough good content for them to stream. And that means separating costly DVD rentals from streaming, and trying to push both Netflix subscribers and Hollywood studios away from plastic discs.
Yes, raising DVD rental prices may be a hardship or an annoyance for some of Netflix's existing 25 million subscribers, and that's why Netflix warned that the next few quarters could be worse than usual. But it's very clear that streaming is the future and discs are not. And that's why Netflix made the right move.

Guidelines to Eating Green When Eating Out
Today on The Daily Meal
Recipe of the day
Most Popular
Dining out may not be the most socially-conscious, environmentally-sound practice. After all, you can be more careful about sourcing, cooking practices, composting, and recycling at home. That doesn't mean there aren't things you can do to make eating out more socially conscious.
According to the Green Restaurant Association, 48% of the average American food budget is spent on dining out. Eating at Certified Green Restaurants is one way to dine responsibly. The Green Restaurant Association lists more than 150 restaurants across the country that they've certified as "green." Some of the most interesting and high-profile restaurants might surprise you.
You can also encourage restaurants to be more environmentally conscious. How? Leave comment cards or email them encouraging them to "go green" if they already aren't. Standards they need to comply with include water efficiency, recycling, using sustainable building materials, serving sustainable foods, efficient energy use, disposables, and attention to chemical and pollution reduction.
Not so interested in activism, but want to still be environmentally conscious while dining out? Curious about things that more often than not aren't going to get in the way of your dining experience? Read on for some of the best tips on the web culled from the Green Restaurant Association, Tree Hugger (that's right), and Bon Appétit.
Deciding Where to Eat and Getting There
• Transportation: Take public transit, carpool, or walk to dinner.
• Support Local Green Restaurants: Find neighborhood restaurants, bakeries, butchers, and markets serving fresh, sustainable, organic food by using sites like eatwellguide.org.

Viator Exclusive: Private Paris Tour by Citroen 2CV
- Private tour is operated with just your party and a guide/driver
- Perfect introduction for first-time visitors
- Multiple departure times and locations available
- Informative, friendly and professional guide
- Great overview and orientation of the city
- Free hotel pickup and drop-off included
The loveable motors were introduced to the French masses in the mid-1940s, and quickly became the country's car of choice. While their design has now evolved, the original models remain a classic; luckily for you, you'll ride in one such model on your tour – a vintage soft-top 2CV car.
Your route takes you past several top Paris attractions, so sit back and admire monuments like the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame Cathedral. Learn about iconic attractions such as Moulin Rouge, Paris' risqué cabaret, and the Louvre Museum, home to more than a million pieces of artwork. Visit neighborhoods like Saint-Germain-des-Prés and Montmartre and get tips for sites to check out independently.
After spending roughly an hour exploring Paris, enjoy a break at the traditional French tea room Ladurée. Taste a hot beverage and a sweet treat at this former bakery that was transformed into a pastry shop in 1871 by Baron Haussmann.
Meet your guide outside the tea room at the pre-arranged time and continue sightseeing around the city. As well as Paris' famous sights, your tour also introduces you to some lesser-known gems. Visit Place Vendôme, the chic square framed by boutiques, jewelers and ritzy hotels, and pass Luxembourg Gardens, an extensive park popular with locals.
Your tour then finishes with a drop-off near Opera Garnier or back at your central Paris hotel.
Please note: 2CVs are small compared to modern vehicles, so with comfort in mind, bookings are only accepted for three people per car, with one driver assigned per trio. Should your group be larger, no worries! Up to nine people can book this private tour, and each group of three ride in a separate car while traveling together in a convoy.

This was one of the best things we did while in Paris. Our guide, Renaud, was fun and knowledgable and we learned things about Paris you will never get from guidebooks. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris whether it is your first time in the city or a return visit. Thanks for a great day!

Ivo Kerdić (May 19, 1881 - October 27, 1953) is a great Croatian sculptor and still greater medal maker who reached the peak of his craft skills and creative power in the field of small scale sculpting. But not only is the exhibition of a commemorative nature, it also has the characteristics of a discovery. Our intention is to present to the public numbers of consummate works from the very fertile oeuvre of this maker that are kept in the holdings of the Modern Gallery. The celebration of the 130th birth of the artist is an occasion to bring some of the hidden treasure into the light of day and place it before the eyes of the public, and to draw to the attention of the discipline something of Kerdić's distinctive creative work. Along with a few sculptures, it is medals that comprise the bulk of his work.
These works are of a certainty a history or an analogy epitomising Zagreb and Croatian public life and its most important figures. The exhibition will also give an insight into the scope and significance of Kerdić's work during his half a century of prolific activity. There are 650 of his medals in the holdings of the Modern Gallery – including medals, badges, decorations, coins – created in the period from 1905 to 1953, with more than 170 subjects. The exhibition in May 2011 will convincingly enlarge our knowledge of Ivo Kerdić and define his place in the Croatian and European production of small scale sculpting and medals.
The Modern Gallery will put on this exhibition marking the 130th anniversary of the birth of Ivo Kerdić exclusively from its own holdings. The author of the exhibition, Tatijana Gareljić, curator and manager of the MG Medals Collection, has chosen numerous Kerdić works previously unknown to the public, and the rest of the material can be said to have known almost the same fate.

Impressionist Moment
Theres this little studio in Pittsburgh called the Mattress Factory. The least complicated but most interesting installation piece there is a black room minus the roof. As you watch the framed sky at dusk, the shifting colors are highlighted in a way most people never notice. An artist friend called this an impressionist moment.
Starting today at 10 a.m. at the Denver Art Museum, 100 West 14th Avenue Parkway, Landscapes From the Age of Impressionism gives you a first-hand look at real Impressionist moments from real French and American masters. The Impressionists continued the tradition of plein air landscape painting, leaving us exquisite impressions of changing skies and vibrant atmospheres, says Angelica Daneo, local curator of the exhibition. The rich selection of landscapes brings to life the art of immediacy and movement, and of light and color.
Tickets are included with museum admission; the exhibit is on display through September 7. For more information, visit www.denverartmuseum.org or call 720-865-5000.

Yze's class on show for Victoria
Shepparton's Ramadan Yze proved he is more than a match for Australia's finest country cricketers, following a tenacious performance at the Australian Country Cricket Championships in Queensland.
DAMEN FRANCIS January 16, 2013 4:05amShepparton's Ramadan Yze proved he is more than a match for Australia's finest country cricketers, following a tenacious performance at the Australian Country Cricket Championships in Queensland.
The Central Park-St Brendan's all-rounder was unsure how he would fare against such high-calibre opposition, but did not look out of place wearing the Big V.
In six matches, Yze took 10 wickets and scored 72 runs to help Victoria win five of seven matches and finish second overall, atoning for last year's horror showing in the process.
A disappointing defeat to Queensland in the second round of Twenty20 matches ultimately cost Victoria a chance at finishing on top of the ladder, but a win against undefeated champion NSW on the final day would have capped an outstanding carnival.
It was not to be, though, as NSW chased down Victoria's 292 in the final over to complete a clean sweep of the competition.
Yze branded the defeat ''shattering'', but said it was a rare low point in his experience.
''We wanted to win so badly, to show NSW that we could beat them even though they won the carnival,'' Yze said.
''(Victoria) came last last year and went about it very differently this year.
''We were pleased with finishing second, but you go away to win it.''
After being overlooked with bat and ball in the first match, Yze worked his way into the side and grew in confidence as the carnival went on.
A three-wicket haul against Western Australia got him going with the ball in game two, but batting in an unfamiliar position in the lower-order made finding any rhythm with the bat a challenge.
An unbeaten 32 in the penultimate game against ACT was followed by a blistering 22 off just seven deliveries against NSW to show what he was capable of.
The hard-hitting was backed up with figures of 4-63 in Yze's best individual performance of the carnival, even if he did have the ball in his hands when NSW hit the winning runs.
''I would have liked to bat at four or five at some point to spend some time out in the middle, but that's the way it goes,'' Yze said.
''Coming in late is a bit of a no-win situation, I had to try and throw the bat a bit, but it was hard for (captain) Heath (Pyke) to set the batting line-up with so many good batsmen.''
Among his highlights for the carnival was being out in the middle when Bobby Wilson reached 200 against South Australia, and Yze hopes to get a second crack at the experience next year.
''I just happened to go out there when Bobby was on 199 and scampered through for a quick single to get him to 200,'' Yze said.
''I've seen someone hit 200 before, but it's always a special moment.
''It was a really good experience and I would like to do it again .

Go bright for the holidays: 3 beautifully natural red lipsticks
Have a little fun with your lips this winter!
Sun, Dec 11, 2011 at 09:20 AM

Even if you have nary a penny left to pick up some new duds this holiday season, you can still dress up for those parties, with a few swipes of some gorgeous, dramatic red lipstick.
Almost everyone looks great with red lips — the tricky part is just finding the right shade. You might need a more orangey color (warm skin tones), a purpley-red (cooler skin tones) or something with a pinker hue (paler and more neutral skin tones). Whatever color works for you, it will make your eyes sparklier and your teeth look whiter (the real secret behind red lips).
I'm not going to suggest some kind of wacky system for figuring out what skin tone you are. The simplest, and best way to find out what reds might work on you is to try a bunch of them on. You'll be able to see which red lipsticks bring out your best features and brighten your face, but it will take a bit of experimentation. (A good way to do this is to go ask for advice at a makeup counter and have the makeup artists there tell you what works for you; don't buy anything, but take the information with you). You can actually go into an Origins store (one of the brands mentioned below) and try their colors out.
When you have sorted out what tone works best for you, check out the natural cosmetic companies below for those keeper tubes.
Origins Flower Fusion lipstick is my go-to. It goes on creamy as can be, and the color sticks around (but not in a lip stain kind of way). I always need extra moisture in the winter, and this lipstick delivers. "In this patent-pending technology, a well-spring of floral waxes including Jasmine, Lavender, Rose, Raspberry, Violet and Orange Blossom blended with other botanical waxes create a creamy cushion of color that glides on with ease to pamper, protect and perfect your pout."
Dr. Hauschka's skin products are a beloved among the Hollywood set and a bit of a splurge for the rest of us, but actually worth the price you pay. Their lipstick is superrich, both in color and texture and it all comes from plants. Ingredients are all biodynamic, organic or wild-harvested, and the company has won awards from beauty editors to natural health advocacy organizations, and also supports deserving charity partners.
Primitive Natural lipstick touts itself as a competitor to MAC, but is made from totally natural ingredients, like shea butter and jojoba oil. The rich raspberry color linked here is a color that works on almost everyone.

Co spends Rs 2,500 cr on clean fuel projects.
Our Bureau
Visakhapatnam, July 1 The Visakha refinery of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) is gearing up to offer Euro-III and Euro-IV compliant products by April 2010, according to Mr P.A.B. Raju, Executive Director.
At a press conference, he said HPCL had spent Rs 2,500 crore for the clean fuels projects to produce petrol compliant with the stringent Euro standards and "we will be able to supply such products in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam by April. The project is in advanced stages of implementation".
He said the refinery had achieved crude throughput of over nine million tonnes during 2008-09, even though its capacity was only 7.5 million tonnes. It also produced the highest-ever 3,40,000 tonnes of bitumen during the year and it had processed 20 different types of crude during the year.
"The first consignment of Reliance crude from the Krishna-Godavari basin was processed during the year. We are expecting to process new crude from Rajasthan by September this year," Mr Raju said.
LPG storage facility
He said the refinery had completed 10 million hours of safe operations and all measures were being taken to ensure the safety of the plant. The refinery had built a mounded storage facility for LPG at Rs 120 crore and it may be commissioned in three months. This would enhance LPG safety substantially. The HPCL was also storing LPG in an underground cavern.
Single buoy mooring
The refinery was setting up a single buoy mooring (SBM) at Rs 500 crore to receive very large crude carriers and economise on freight charges. The SBM would be ready by March 2010, he said. The refinery was also setting up a diesel hydro-treating plant at Rs 3,000 crore for de-sulphurisation of HSD to meet Euro-IV requirements.
Answering a question on the proposed expansion of the refinery's capacity, Mr Raju said that for the time being the focus was not on expansion, but consolidation and product quality improvement.
"We have not given up on the expansion proposal. But it will be taken up after sometime," he clarified.
Petro-chemical complex
On when HPCL would take up construction of the petrochemical complex for which 1,400 acres had been allotted by the State Government in the special economic zone at Atchyutapuram in Vizag district, he said the economic recession had hit the project, as it was capital-intensive. "It is a good project, but the time is not opportune for taking it up. It may take some time," he explained.
New marketing terminal
Mr Raju said HPCL had taken 300 acres from the Visakhapatnam port for taking up various works. Of this, 120 acres had been allotted for building a new marketing terminal for its products. It may be ready by 2011, he added.

Nathan Sykes vs. Jason Derulo – Pop Clash
Nathan Sykes' "More Than You'll Ever Know" is facing off against Jason Derulo's "Want to Want Me." Which song should win the Pop Clash?
R&B singer Jason Derulo began his career when he was only 16, penning tracks for artists including Pitbull and Lil Wayne. Born Jason Joel Desrouleaux in Miami in 1989, he transitioned from behind-the-scenes hitmaker to hit vocalist when his debut single, 'Whatcha Say,' went to No. 1 in 2009. The following year, he released his self-titled debut album, which featured his next four singles, including 'In My Head' and 'Ridin' Solo.' Famed for his acrobatic dance moves, Derulo broke a vertebrae in his neck during rehearsal in January 2012. The serious injury forced him to cancel his tour and he concentrated on songwriting for future projects. 2014's 'Talk Dirty' is the American reissue of his third album, 'Tattoos,' and is his first to land in the top five on the U.S. album charts.

For a fair deal
The Berbers of Algeria have risen in protest since the beginning
of this summer. KESAVA MENON details the issues involved.
IN A match at the last soccer World Cup, France's striker and
hero, Zinedine Zidane, stamped on an Arab, if one remembers
correctly a Saudi Arabian, player. France went on to win that
match and the World Cup of course. But for a Berber woman living
in a Marseilles tenement the defining moment of that match, and
perhaps of the Cup, was the one in which Zinedine's studded boot
smashed down on to an Arab leg. ``That was Zinedine's revenge
against the Arabs,'' she was to tell a reporter.
The Berbers of Algeria have risen in protest since the beginning
of this summer. They do not appear to have made any declaration
that they are fighting ``Arab oppression''. Neither does it
appear that Berbers have necessarily suffered on an individual
basis merely because of their belonging to a linguistic minority
since they have reached high office in their country. However,
the Berbers have a very deep if quiet pride in their separate
identity. In any casual conversation with an Algerian Berber, it
does not take too long before the talk veers to the topic of how
able their people are and to an accounting of the Berbers who
have made a name for themselves. As a collective it is a
different matter.
Berbers have for long demanded that their language should be
given a status equal to Arabic. Successive Governments have
resisted the demand fearing that the grant of such recognition
would disrupt Algeria's unity and undermine its independence. At
the height of the Islamic militancy in the 1990s, the Algerian
authorities took another measure that the Berbers could have
considered as inimical to their interests. In an effort to
outflank the fundamentalists, the Algerian Government gave pre-
eminence in the constitution to the Holy Koran in the Arabic
language. At the time the Berbers, who largely kept out of the
fundamentalist movement, did not appear to have made much of an
issue of it.
Now that the fundamentalist wave has subsided considerably in
Algeria, other more enduring tensions appear to have re-surfaced.
When the French ruled Algeria, they gave special treatment to the
Kabyle region where the Berbers predominate. It was perhaps on
account of the Mediterranean origin of the Berbers, as against
the `eastern' origins of the Arabs, that they were given the
privileges under France's divide and rule policy. Being the
better educated, the Berbers were also well accommodated in the
administrative hierarchy. Such special treatment did not,
however, stop the Berbers from joining the fight for independence
and the strongest Beber party of today, the Socialist Forces
Front (FFS), was set up by Hocine Ait Ahmed a hero of the
revolutionary war.
The FFS claims that the current confrontation with the Government
is not directly the result of pent-up Berber frustration at the
authorities failure to concede their long-standing demands. In
fact, the Berbers say the Government is trying to mislead the
rest of Algeria by saying that the people of Kabilye are only
agitating for the fulfilment of these demands. The FFS says that
it trying to give raise issues that are common to all Algerians
such as employment, housing, more demo cratic rights and an end
to corruption. From the fact that the protests were to spread to
non-Berber regions, the FFS appears to be right to the extent
that a great many people in the country are agitated by these
It was the death of a youth in custody on April 18 that sparked
off weeks of anti-Government protests in the Kabilye region. By
mid-June, it was estimated that about 80 people had been killed
by security forces in this region. When they launched their
protests, the Berbers' main demand was for the withdrawal of the
gendarmerie, a branch of the security forces that is regarded as
brutal and corrupt. As protests spread to other parts of the
country, the issues raised more often were those of unemployment
and corruption. The official rate of unemployment is 20 per cent
but it is believed to be as high as 80 per cent among people
under 25 years of age.
Half a million Bebers are estimated to have taken part in the
march to Algiers on June 14. The marchers, called out by the FFS,
tried to submit a list of demands to the President, Mr. Abdelaziz
Bouteflika, but were stopped by the police who unleashed batons
and water cannons. To the FFS' later regret, the marchers turned
violent and much property was damaged in the capital. This
development, of course, played right into the Government's hands.
They could portray the protests as being Berber-centric and
fuelled solely by Berber demands. Whether this new application of
the divide and rule policy will do any good for an Algeria that
has barely recovered from the decade of Islamic militancy is not
something that the hidden coterie of generals, who are believed
to be the real power in the country, appears to have considered
Algeria's Islamic movement has failed as the outlet for peoples
grievances. But those grievances, all ultimately traceable to
Algeria's failure to develop a healthy and viable democratic
system, have not disappeared. The Algerian establishment might be
in a self-congratulatory mood after surmounting the dire
situation that Islamic militancy had created. But it needs to
realise that the people of Algeria are tired of the studded boots
that pin them down.
