On Music
GUREWITSCH, M. ANATOLE
On Music BAROQUE PRACTICES BY M. ANATOLE GUREWITSCH u nttl roughly the '50s, au-diences at large knew the baroque only as reflected in scores available from the 19th century, or at least in the...
...Questions of period style did not arise...
...Her fluent ornamentation and boldness of phrase (occasionally marred by patches of dull, matted tone) serve the music and the drama equally, and her vibrant sound suits Dido's extremes of passion...
...Without surgical intervention, a male alto must "construct" a singing voice outside the compass of his "natural" range...
...The performance is small-scale, as Handel meant it to be, and wonderfully polished...
...Richard Stil-well's performance brings the Trojan hero to Dido's level...
...curiously, it is at its best (most sharply focused and richest in resonance) in the longest, trickiest lines of his part...
...Preoccupied with the period practices, Jacobs attempts to turn back the clock over 200 years, but his dry as dust academicism achieves nothing more poetic than mimicry...
...with its tearing harmonies and close vocal lines shearing mournfully apart) forcefully testifies to the wisdom of holding baroque ensembles to the sizes their composers intended...
...Raymond Leppard's new performance (RCA ARL 1-3021) combines the intellectual rigor of Fischer-Dieskau's Handel recital with the immediacy of Gardiner's^cis, and adds a blazing theatricality all its own...
...Although he exhibits amazing dynamic control, he does not match Burrowes for sheer beauty of sound...
...As her unhappy swain Acis, Johnson also supplies expressive articulations...
...Yet those were chiefly with academics whose expertise was untouched by the gloss and fire that distinguish first-rate performers...
...he explains what it is—and through intellect reaches the emotions...
...but its mode, instead of pastoral, is tragic...
...In their time, musical notation was a kind of shorthand, an outline for the individual performer to fill in according to taste and talent, albeit within certain stylistic limits...
...They prove to be of slight musical value and highly repetitive, so the first purpose earns the musicians marks simply for their good intention...
...His voice is dry...
...His rhythmic alertness, his dignity, the stalwart beauty of his baritone, and his generous sensitivity paint a picture to set beside the Virgilian original...
...the effect, highest magic...
...His notes sound frigid and fabricated...
...As the Carthaginian queen, Tatiana Troyanos declaims heroically...
...Rhythm, melody and harmony were all twisted awry...
...A disc of Antonio Vivaldi's Cantate italiane (Archive 2533 385), with Rene Jacobs, alto, accompanied by a baroque consort under the direction of Alan Curtis, seems to have two purposes: to bring the music (which is unpublished) before the concerned public, and to demonstrate musicological propriety...
...The giant Polyphemus, who kills Acis to spite Galatea, finds in White an ideal interpreter: His well-tuned bass, dark and full, lends this bouncing buoyant part grandeur and a hint of clownishness...
...Historicity, which in the hands of the pedant entombs the baroque spirit, is for them the final gloss of performance, the bloom of a living tradition...
...more often, they outperform him...
...In recitative he rushes cadences (the instruments trailing after) to achieve "free" declamation...
...Who can count the ways of Handel's eloquence...
...The gulf between Fischer-Dieskau's metropolitan sophistication and the innocence of the cast offering a new and complete recording of the first version of Handel's Acts and Galatea (Archiv 2708 038) could scarcely be wider...
...Hill's Damon rounds out the cast with distinction, and the four soloists are joined in the choruses by bass Paul Elliott...
...in the greater utterances—her two laments and her duets with Belinda, her waiting woman, and with Aeneas—she soars higher still...
...His interpretation, too, is a riot of artifice, and each carefully calculated effect misfires...
...With his encyclopedic command of the history, Fischer-Dieskau always assumes the style most proper to his texts...
...Wretched lovers...
...They had replaced the compact baroque bands with larger orchestras, upsetting original balances and introducing foreign timbres...
...Fischer-Dieskau does not abandon himself to the sentiment of the music...
...A larger group might add brute mass, but at the cost of this five-voice choir's keenness and vivacity...
...The aria "Passo di pena in pena" from the cantata Amor, hai vinto develops the image of a wave-tossed boat...
...in arias, tackling the lines and ornamenting conscientiously, he scatters accents of cloying -preciosity...
...The serenity of "Peace crown'd with roses" (from Susanna), for instance, floods sudden light on the words "joyous plenty...
...Like Acis and Galatea, Henry Pur-cell's opera Dido and Aeneas (composed in 1689, some 30 years before Handel's masque) finds its source in antiquity...
...and although his flawless technique guides him through even the most ornate vocal lines, he does not have the limpid fluidity (or the natural trill) of the native baroque specialist...
...His concerns are all-enbracing, revealing a penetrating mind and scrupulous musicianship...
...But the editors of 100-odd years ago, boundless in their self-confidence and advocates of progress, had freely recast the baroque to conform to their own esthetic, making everything big...
...These Italian cantatas are among close to 40 extant manuscripts scattered in European libraries...
...John Eliot Gardiner, who leads the English Baroque Soloists and the singers—soprano Norma Burrowes (Galatea), tenors Anthony Rolf Johnson (Acis) and Martyn Hill (Damon), and bass Willard White (Polyphemus) —approaches the Ovidian fable with an ingenuousness that invites us to enter the pastoral world with unironic delight...
...The 17-piece band of strings and winds provides a transparent, astringent background against which the lightweight voices are heard to the best advantage...
...As for the performance, it is of the narrowest academic interest...
...Curtis recordings I had heard in the past (notably his Incoronazione di Poppea on the Cambridge label) left me no very cherished impressions: His scholarly passions sounded like mere matters of pedantry...
...Aeneas has always seemed to me a lesser part: short, all recitative, only a few moments of arioso...
...The serious editions now published are prepared by scholars aware of the applicable conventions, and performers are learning how to use them...
...Several recent recordings of the vocal literature illustrate how widely artists can spiral within the circle of stylistic accuracy...
...His readings are enlightening, and at their frequent best, moving...
...Felicity Palmer's rapt Belinda and Philip Lan-gridge's gamesome Sailor stand out in a cast that betrays no weakness...
...She can even tinge such a line as "The skies are clouded" with fear and pity...
...Vivaldi's excellence in the passage is equal to the players...
...But his cerebral approach gives the Handel album a professorial touch that is by no means displeasing...
...Stylistic awareness is the beginning, not the end, of living performance...
...The vocalist, though, repeatedly vitiates their contribution...
...He hoots and whoops...
...he seems to cross a break at every half-step...
...they include the resolute, sculpted phrases of "Dopo l'orrore" (from Ottone) and the amorous lilt of "Pur ritorno a rimi-rarvi" (from Agrippina...
...Music, it was generally thought, was to be played as written...
...And something remarkable has happened: The more performers embrace the canons of period style, the more strikingly personal are their performances...
...lacking suppleness, he ends phrases in blunt cuts...
...indeed they expect it...
...The English Chamber Orchestra and the cast, from principals to chorus, have been carefully schooled in the use of appoggiatura—grace notes—and other embellishments, so that their impassioned execution unlocks the deep expressivity of the baroque devices...
...The solo character of the instruments was lost, individual invention became impracticable and the arts of embellishment fell into disuse...
...The means are technical...
...Her virtuosity complements her graciousness, in both the nymph's gladness and woe...
...Its scene is beautifully set by a short introduction that begins with a duo for violins and, with the addition of other voices and an agitated bass, quickly summons up a maritime vista of sombre mystery...
...Audiences are no longer puzzled by historicity...
...This laborious falsetto technique seldom produces a pleasing result, and Jacobs' application of it is no exception...
...Here Curtis (at the harpsichord) commands seven masterly string players, each equipped with a prize instrument from Vivaldi's own day, and the overall complaint of dreariness does not apply to their accompaniment...
...In Nahum Tate's libretto we may miss the accents of high tragedy, but Purcell found them, and Stilwell reawakens them...
...The selections, from operas and oratorios in English and Italian, range from the noble linear simplicity of "Ombra mai fu" (from Serse) —known to churchgoers as "Handel's Largo"—to the florid elaboration of "Si, fra i ceppi" (from Berenice...
...Burrowes' exemplary phrasing enhances the warmth and purity of her tone, and her agility allows her to ripple through Galatea's swift melis-mas with an air of becoming modesty...
...Unlike Jacobs, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau does not observe the baroque niceties out of antiquarian fanaticism in his album of arias by George Frederick Handel, featuring the splendid Miinchener Kammerorchester under the direction of Hans Stadlmair (Deutsche Grammophon 2450 979...
...Today, it is widely known that baroque scores cannot be rendered literally (and surely not from 19th-century editions), for the very simple reason that they were never set down note for note...
...Other periods, notably the Romantic, suit his temperament better...

Rama, chiamata in passato anche Mai Lala o semplicemente Lala, è una città situata nell'Etiopia settentrionale.

Capoluogo del woreda di Mereb Lehe, nella Zona Centrale (Mehakelegnaw Zone) della regione dei Tigrè, si trova a 35 km a nord della città di Adua e a 7 km dal confine con l'Eritrea,

La cittadina si estende all'interno di un altopiano fertile all'altitudine di 1385 metri sul livello del mare.

Storia
Il 13 febbraio 1936 si verificò l'eccidio del cantiere Gondrand, in cui un gruppo di guerrieri etiopi uccise sessantotto italiani e diciassette eritrei, operai di un cantiere stradale. La reazione italiana al massacro portò all'impiccagione di capi locali e individui ritenuti colpevoli del massacro, i cui corpi furono lasciati a lungo esposti sulla forca alla mercé degli avvoltoi come monito alla popolazione locale.

Il 29 settembre 1988, unità armate del Fronte Popolare di Liberazione del Tigrè hanno assediato Rama, uccidendo 21 e catturando 854 soldati governativi. Tale attacco portò il Derg ad inviare una forza d'intervento verso questo importante insediamento situato lungo la strada che conduce ad Asmara, ma non fu in grado di riconquistare la città fino alla fine di dicembre, quando la 10ª divisione del secondo esercito rivoluzionario riconquistò la città, appena una settimana prima della decisiva battaglia dello Scirè.

Nel gennaio 2005, la Missione delle Nazioni Unite in Etiopia ed Eritrea (UNMEE) provvedette alla bonifica dei 12 km dei binari che attraversano Rama, che durante la guerra Etiopia-Eritrea erano stati minati.

Dal 2007 Rama è stata scelta dal governo etiope per un progetto pilota per fornire elettricità agli abitanti delle zone rurali, che spesso hanno difficoltà a collegarsi alle reti elettriche nazionali. Sono stati così inizialmente installati pannelli fotovoltaici in 2.100 case, con cui alimentare circa quattro lampade oppure radio e registratori.

Monumenti e luoghi d'interesse
Fra i punti di interesse sul territorio di Rama, vi è la chiesa di Kor Nebir Mikael e una scuola primaria istituita nel 1968.

Società

Evoluzione demografica
Il censimento del 1994 registrò 4.504 abitanti, di cui 1.973 uomini e 2.531 donne.

Nel 2005 l'agenzia di statistica etiope ha stimato una popolazione di 7.824 abitanti, di cui 3.705 maschi e 4.119 femmine.

Economia
Rama è la principale zona di coltivazione della frutta nel Tigré, in quanto nel suo territorio è stata realizzata la più grande diga di irrigazione. Fra le colture tipiche vi sono mango, arancio, banano e altri.

A Rama sono presenti due scuole primarie, una scuola superiore e una professionale.

Car News > All > Fire bride makes it to the church on time
Fire bride makes it to the church on time
A bride whose wedding car burst into flames while carrying her to the church, managed to make the ceremony on time after getting a lift from the local fire brigade.
Irini Georgiou, 23 had aimed to make an entrance by arriving to her nuptials in a classic 1969 Plymouth Barracuda muscle car (pictured above).
However she, her father and two bridesmaids were forced to make a quick exit from the Yank bruiser after smoke began to billow from the engine.
Thankfully all was not lost, with firefighters not only managing to save the champagne stored in the boot, but also allowing the bride to make her big entrance, riding in the back of a fire engine to the ceremony at Christ Church, Little Heath, Hertfordshire.
She arrived, not to the sound of a burbling American V8, but to a backdrop of blue lights and wailing sirens.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Irini said: "I was just laughing at first, I'm quite a laid back person, I was just thinking 'can this really be happening to me?'
"The firefighters were simply great and we thank them so much for getting me to church.
"This is one big day we'll never forget!"
Her groom, Phillip Critoph, was said to be relieved to see her, after the fire held her up for over 30 minutes.
As well as coming to the rescue of the bride, the fire brigade also organised for a car to take the bridesmaids to the church in a separate car.
The happy couple were later married and are currently on their honeymoon.

Puppeteer will be a rather large platformer, according to Sony Japan Studio's Gavin Moore, who said if players just fly right through it and not search for any secrets, it will last over the 15 hours mark.
Speaking with the PS Blog, Moore said there are plenty of secrets in the game, and he feels the platformer provides players with quote a bit of value for the money being spent.
Moore said the studio decided to create a platform title, due there not being many big-budget side-scrollers on the market.
"It's an artform that we've kind of lost as game creators," he said. "I've loved them and played them ever since I was a kid. As soon as we made the jump to 3D with PS1, everyone wanted to have characters that ran into the screen. We pushed 2D aside.
Moore said if he were to describe Puppeteer's gameplay, it would be a mix between classics Dynamite Headdy from SEGA and Parodius by Konami, both of which inspired the team when developing the title.

"The Diary of a Teenage Girl": what about "age of consent"? I'll pour cold water over her fun
"The Diary of a Teenage Girl", by Marielle Heller, is getting a lot of hype from the previews, based on Phoebe Gloeckner's novel, set in San Francisco in the 1970s.
The world it presented wasn't that interesting. The film stock was chosen to make the world look fuzzy with colors muted. The environment in a City with Harvey Milk at the time is totally ignored.
Minnie (Bel Powley) is a 15 year old teenage "artist" living with divorced mom (Kristen Wiig), The real actress for Minnie is 22, and that's a good thing. Minnie starts coming on to his mother's 35-year-old boy friend Monroe (Alexander Skarsgard). He gives in to temptation, repeatedly, even with some misgivings. When she visits his boat, he starts behaving more responsibly. But, what he has done could be prosecuted under California law, where the age of consent is 18. But I guess you aren't supposed to think of that. In the 1970s, law enforcement was much less interested in this issue than it is today.
Minnie is quite explicit at times in describing her attraction to Monroe, more in terms of what he "has" than what he "is". The film turns into a soft-core porn, almost a toned down but enlongated Linda Lovelace trip from the early 70s. At times, her dad Pascal (Christopher Meloni) tries to intervene, mildly.
Finally, mom starts talking about Monroe's marrying her because he's "porked" her.
The best character may be Willie, played by Domino the Cat.
My own screenplay short, "The Sub", had shown a gay teacher taken in by an adult-looking mature teen. It created controversy in its day.
The official site is here (Sony Pictures Classics).
I saw the film at the AMC Shirlington, before a small Saturday night audience which did laugh with the film.

Guatemalan cardinal to visit Mississippi after migrant raids
JACKSON, Miss. —
A Guatemalan cardinal who advocates for migrants will visit Mississippi following immigration raids last summer that prompted 680 arrests.
The Rev. Roberto Mena, who pastors some Catholic churches in Mississippi affected by the raids, announced the visit Saturday.
Pope Francis raised Alvaro Ramazzini to the rank of cardinal in October. He's the bishop of Huehuetenango in Guatemala, a region of that Central American country that has sent many migrants to the U.S. Ramazzini has spoken out for decades against exploitation of poor rural people in regions he has ministered to.
A majority of those arrested in the raids at seven Mississippi chicken processing plants in August was Guatemalan, with some speaking Mayan dialects instead of Spanish. Of those arrested, at least 119 have been charged criminally, while others are jailed in Louisiana and Mississippi awaiting deportation proceedings.
The raids were the largest conducted at American workplaces in at least a decade, and have brought scrutiny of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, especially because some children came home from school to find their parents gone.
Mena says Ramazzini is "coming to be present" with affected families. He is scheduled to meet with Bishop Joseph Kopacz of Jackson, Mississippi, in addition to lawyers and immigrant families. The cardinal also has scheduled a visit to a detention center in Louisiana.

Sneak Attack On Net Neutrality Picks Up Steam In The House
By Amy Kroin, www.freepress.net
"Maybe every so often we can be on the side of the American people," Rep. Jose Serrano said, "and not corporations."
Those are fighting words — but unfortunately the House majority doesn't seem to be heeding them. Not when it comes to Net Neutrality.
This afternoon the House appropriations committee voted against two amendments — one from Serrano, one from Rep. Nita Lowey — to remove anti-Net Neutrality language from a must-pass government-funding package.
The anti-Net Neutrality provisions — buried deep within this 158-page bill — would strip the FCC of the money it needs to enforce its open Internet protections. The provisions would also prevent the rules from remaining in effect until after the court cases challenging them have been decided — a process that could take years.
"You're not supposed to legislate in an appropriations bill," Serrano said, noting that a federal court had already rejected an attempt from the cable, phone and wireless lobbies to delay implementation of the rules.
But in spite of the overwhelming support for the open Internet— support that spans the political spectrum — some members of Congress are determined to destroy the historic FCC protections that millions of people lobbied for.
"Blocking Net Neutrality means blocking the open Internet," Serrano said. "My colleagues are trying to give corporations more freedom … while putting more restrictions on individual citizens."
Indeed, members of Congress who are in the pocket of the big Internet service providers don't care about listening to the public on this matter. They don't care about the process the FCC followed to allow public comment on its proposal. They simply want to shut down the open Internet and carve it up into fast and slow lanes.
In the run-up to the vote a coalition of more than 60 digital rights and social justice groups urged the chairman and ranking member of the House appropriations committee to remove the anti-Net Neutrality riders (only the ranking member — Rep. Lowey, a longtime Net Neutrality proponent — listened).
Among the letter's signers are the Free Press Action Fund, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Center for Media Justice, ColorOfChange.org, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Media Action Grassroots Network, the National Hispanic Media Coalition, the New America Foundation's Open Technology Institute, Public Knowledge and Writers Guild of America West. Other signers include the American Library Association, the Association of Free Community Papers and Etsy.
The funding package is inching closer to a vote before the full House, but there's still time for members to remove the anti-Net Neutrality provisions. Call Congress before it's too late.

A Painting, a Crime, a Controversy
Abstract: Abstract The exhibition by the Whitney Museum of American Art of a painting of the lynched Emmett Till by a white woman artist in its Biennial survey exhibition in 2017 caused a controversy that went to the heart of the contemporary art world in the United States. There was a demand made by a group, writing on behalf of artists of color that the painting be removed and destroyed. That demand gave birth to an intensive and very public conversation among important critics, members of academia, and artists. What is the role of identity (and its politics) in art creation and exhibition' Implicitly, what is the role of gatekeepers who can influence the direction of the art market through promoting the work of some artists and not others' What are the obligations of major institutions in shaping public opinion' I seek to test the public responses to the painting and its challengers against what can be seen with sustained observation in the painting itself. Do the issues inhere in the painting or was the painting captured for an external conversation' I hope that this is an example of what evidence that kind of observation can provide—a matter of interest not just in the discourses of art but also of evidence in the context of the law.
Language, Imagery and Ideology in Japanese Law and Administration

La presse anglophone et la recolonisation linguistique, administrative et
juridique de Singapour pendant l'occupation japonaise
Abstract: Résumé Cet article explore le rôle de la presse anglophone comme instrument de recolonisation linguistique, administrative et juridique pendant l'occupation de l'île de Singapour entre 1942 et 1945 par le pouvoir militaire japonais. Bien que le projet d'imposer la langue japonaise comme principal médium administratif et éducatif produisît des résultats limités, la langue fut employée largement comme symbole de recolonisation pour légitimiser et normaliser le nouveau régime en changeant les nomenclatures, les coutûmes et même le paysage visuel de la colonie, rebaptisée Syonan. En revanche, l'association symbolique entre la langue anglaise et les adversaires anglo-saxons fit subordonnée à son utilité pratique pour contrôler et communiquer avec les Singapouriens, alors renommés les Syonanjin. Bien que son rôle fût strictement limité dans l'éducation, l'anglais fut conservé comme langue judiciaire et exploité pour propager les valeurs impériales japonaises. Le principal matériel empirique de l'analyse est le journal quotidien The Syonan Shimbun, publié en anglais tout au long de l'Occupation et constituant à la fois une trace et un véhicule de la politique linguistique et culturelle du colon nippon. Tenant compte non seulement du contenu propositionnel, incontestablement mobilisé au service du régime militaire, mais aussi de la mise en page et de la sélection discursive dans le journal, on peut recouvrer une politique linguistique qui cherchait un équilibre entre le pouvoir symbolique du japonais et le pouvoir pragmatique de l'anglais, augmenté par l'utilité de la langue malaise.

How to Translate Apology and Non-apology in Legal Contexts: A Linguistic
Analysis of Potentially Serious "Subtle Mistranslation" in Japan
Abstract: Abstract Rendering equivalency in the translation of apologies is a perennial difficulty for court interpreters, especially given the likely involvement of cross-cultural differences with regard to remorse, since they may or may not imply admissions of guilt. This article discusses translations during the 2009 Japanese trial of an English-speaking defendant that appeared subtly to shift the defendant's 'non-apologies' and 'semi-apologies' toward 'apologies'. The difference between the expression "I felt bad" used by the defendant and the Japanese apologetic expression used by the translator is explained with reference to the pragmatic notions of speech acts, presuppositions, and implicature. Such pragmatically inaccurate translations highlight the difficulty of the court interpreter's job, and show that judges and attorneys should be sensitive to the judgement calls that interpreters inevitably make and to the possibility that the translations they receive may convey erroneous implications.
Images and Narratives of Law and Order in the Manga KOBAN
Abstract: Abstract While law and justice issues are well represented in the vast and diverse world of Japanese Manga, the medium's predilection for fantasy tends to produce futuristic or overblown fiction far removed from everyday life. Fantastic treatments may also reflect relatively low awareness of legal matters in a society of low crime and litigation. One law and order institution that most people are familiar with, however, is the network of community police boxes that covers Japan, and this has spawned a gag-ridden yet somewhat more realistic genre of justice-related comics. This article focuses on Ishikawa Chika's KOBAN, whose humour revolves around the contrasting personalities and petty squabbles of two cops in their dealings with mundane police work. The characters, plots and conversations are visually supported by juxtaposing the weaponry and equipment of law enforcement with childlike facial features and cute mascots, thereby constructing the police box as a halfway house between local neighbourliness and state bureaucracy.
Laughing at the Law: A Socio-semiotic Analysis of Legal Comedy on Japanese
Prime-Time Television
Abstract: Abstract This article highlights the growing mainstream preoccupation with law, lawyers and litigation on Japanese prime-time television. Specifically, the article focuses on the recent shift from the dramatic and serious in 1990s productions to the more comic (in both on scripted shows and infotainment law-themed shows) in the 2000s and beyond. Linking the semiotics of humour, sociolegal studies and socio-semiotics more broadly, the article argues that an analysis of law-themed comic scenes and skits highlights Japanese society's heightened interest in the law (mirroring twenty first century legal system reforms) and yet an enduring social sense that the law, especially legal resolution of conflict, is something incongruous and unrelated to people's lived realities (which reflects ongoing low rates of litigation). Despite Ramseyer's thesis that "rational" Japanese avoid the law because they bargain in its shadow, this article concludes that the Japanese draw on their emotional intelligence to accept the possibilities of the law for achieving social justice but acknowledge its limits for resolving satisfactorily everyday disputes.
Japanese Trademark Cases in Linguistic and Economic Contexts
Abstract: Abstract This paper revisits two Japanese trademark disputes, one from the 1980s and the other from the 1990s, using linguistic analysis to comment on and supplement the more legalistic deliberations that decided them. In a claim by White Horse Distillers against Toa Distiller's use of a golden horse label and logo, the courts considered the perspective of the ordinary consumer in ruling that no confusion between the two products was likely. However, in settling Chanel Group's claim against a small bar the courts prioritised commercial interests over sociolinguistic perceptions in ruling against the bar's use of the Chanel name and one somewhat similar to it.
How Hearing People Understand the Deaf and Some Legal Implications of
Their Misinterpretation of Visual Expressions
Abstract: Abstract While the complexities of interpreting in constrained legal contexts such as trials may gradually be getting better understood by legal professionals, the particular difficulties of interpreting for the Deaf remain largely overlooked, and the recent involvement of citizen judges in Japan's justice system makes it even more important to raise awareness about this aspect of language disadvantage. This paper focuses on a key feature of Japanese Sign Language: the non-manual markers produced by facial and body movements that accompany hand and finger signs. Research shows such markers to be poorly understood by non-Deaf observers and indeed even sign language interpreters sometimes conflate them with gestures used by hearing people.
Le riz au Japon, au regard de la culture, de la langue et du droit
Abstract: Résumé Le riz est fondamentalement un produit, une notion, et un droit garanti au Japon. Son approche est complexe, variée, étendue, tant du point de vue culturel, linguistique que juridique. Son rôle dépasse largement le cadre nutritionnel, quoique comme le blé en Europe, il reste un aliment essentiel dans l'art culinaire japonais, par tradition, par habitude et de par la loi. Si l'origine du riz est chinoise, après son introduction au IVème siècle av. JC, il est devenu un, ou même, le symbole de la culture japonaise; cela se perçoit jusque dans la langue, qui lui accorde un statut particulier, singulier par rapport aux autres aliments. Ceci se retrouve même dans le droit japonais, ancien ou contemporain.
Judgments on Court Interpreting in Japan: Ideologies and Practice
Abstract: Abstract Japan saw a sharp increase in the number of non-Japanese residents and migrants during the period of its high economic growth in the 1980s and 1990s. This impacted on how the justice system provides language assistance to non-Japanese speaking background parties in investigative interviews and courtroom proceedings. While the number of defendants who received interpreter assistance in Japanese criminal trials hit its peak in 2003, quality of legal interpreting is still a serious issue. In this article, we discuss how the Japanese criminal justice system has approached issues in judicial interpreting in the last four decades by analysing how "court interpreting" and "court interpreters" have been represented in court decisions. By doing so, the paper aims to explore the judiciary's ideologies about court interpreting and problematise these ideologies in looking towards improvement of language assistance in the Japanese legal system.
Lay Understanding of Civil Law Terminology in Japan
Abstract: Abstract Perhaps more than most professions, law depends on a corpus of specialized terms of art that are familiar to the practitioners who use them regularly in legal contexts but less familiar to lay people. Apart from the importance of enhancing transparency and public access for a key domain, making legal terms understandable to non-professionals may be crucial when non-professionals are involved in legal processes, such as civil litigation. However, simplifying terms risks changing their meaning, while explaining them in plain language entails the difficulty of assessing how much of the legal content lay people need or are prepared to know. An initial step to making legalese more understandable to non-lawyers is to evaluate what lay people actually understand by the terms they come across, and so this study compared the responses of lay participants when asked about key terms form the Japanese Civil Code with the definitions and explanations given by a legal expert. One of the key findings that emerged was that there is particular difficulty with terms that lay people have some understanding of because of their use in non-legal contexts. It will be argued that supplying some background in legal theory would help facilitate educating the public about the legal meaning of terms.
The Dark Side of Visual Recording in the Suspect Interview: An Empirical
and Experiential Study of the Unexpected Impact of Video Images
Abstract: Abstract The video-recording of police interrogations of suspects has become widespread in criminal justice systems and is routinely regarded by legal professionals and lay people alike as a means of protecting the rights of suspects and reducing the likelihood of coerced or false confessions. This study, based on evidence from Japan and experiments conducted in Tokyo as well as cases and reinforced by studies from elsewhere, finds that the way visual images of suspects and their narratives are depicted on film can, on the contrary, be misleading. Not only lay participants in trials, but also legal professionals, may be misled into accepting unreliable confessions. Indeed the very power of visual images to convince viewers calls for great caution in their use. Possible solutions include the use of independent expert witnesses to evaluate the reliability of visual recordings and the restriction of taped evidence to audio tracks.
Decoding the Crime Scene Photograph: Seeing and Narrating the Death of a
Abstract: Abstract Because Arthur 'Weegee' Fellig's crime scene photographs have become the standard for visually representing crime scenes in (American) popular culture, this paper examines the extra-legal lives of two of his images, both of which were produced at the site of a gangster's death in 1936. To decode the crime scene photograph is to interrogate the ways in which we make sense of crime through seeing and narrating. To that end, this paper charts how these two crime images were contextualized first in a tabloid narrative that invited viewer identification with the law enforcer, and later in Weegee's own autobiographical narrative as a hardboiled photographer. In contrast to these human ways of seeing and narrating, the images are then examined through computer vision. By moving across these different ways of human and nonhuman seeing, we are arrested anew by the crime scene photograph as different narrators make clear, often for different audiences, who and what it is that we are looking at. Our visual point of focus, in turn, tells us how we engage with crime images at the mediated intersection of law and popular culture; it reveals how viewers identify with the law as a result of an image's visual structure, as well as through representational exchanges that blur the edges between fact and fiction.
Sources, Recognition and the Unity of the Legal System
Abstract: Abstract A critical analysis of Kelsen's theory leads to a broad concept of custom, which covers diverse types of customary norms, where the always required conviction of legal bindingness depends on different types of factual and normative reasons. In it we should include a strict concept of custom or legal usage, derogating custom, custom of general international law, custom that establishes an unwritten constitution, custom that establishes a new written constitution, judicial custom which creates a rule of precedent and custom newly expressed in the judicial application of customary rules. The basic norm could be formulated as a constitutive norm: 'If the norms created through the first historical constitution are effective, then the first historical constitution (and all the norms derived from it) are valid.' It is thus a customary constitutive rule that recognizes the first historical constitution as valid law. Norms which establish sources of law are constitutive rules, they can be customary norms or legislated norms, but if they are legislated, they have their validity recognized by, directly or indirectly, a constitutive customary norm. By using a broad concept of custom as a conventional practice, Hart implies that general recognition of a customary rule, together with the practice that accompanies it, are sufficient conditions of validity. A doctrine of recognition that is arrived at by means of criticism and a rational reconstruction of the doctrines of Kelsen and Hart regains the essential theses of the traditional recognition theory of Bierling and Engisch.

EASTERN CHIMPANZEE, GOMBE STREAM NATIONAL PARK
It's not too late to catch "Becoming Jane: The Evolution of Dr. Jane Goodall," an immersive multimedia exhibition running through April 17 at the LA Natural History Museum.
What's not to like about the aptly named Jane Goodall?
There's the unusual childhood, marked by an absent father and a constellation of female relatives who encouraged and fostered the young Jane's independence. In an iconic photo taken just after her first birthday, she's cuddling Jubilee, the stuffed chimpanzee she'd received as a gift and that eerily presaged her vocation. At five she disappeared one day. Her mother and aunts were so panic-stricken they even called the police. Jane re-appeared hours later, covered with straw and bursting with excitement. Curious as to how hens laid eggs, she'd been in the henhouse and had patiently waited until she'd found out!
There's her dream, as a high school student, to study and write about animals in Africa; the limited opportunities available to women in that era; the chance invitation, from a boarding-school chum, to visit Kenya. Goodall arrived in Nairobi on her 23rd birthday.
A more or less chance meeting with British paleontologist Dr. Louis Leakey (1903-1972) followed. At the time the curator of what is now the National Museum of Kenya, Leakey was searching for fossils of the first humans, and intuited that a comprehensive study of the lives and behavior of apes would aid his project.
Leakey recruited Goodall for the job, precisely because she was a woman and not a trained scientist. Instinctively he sensed that she possessed both the patience and the endurance required for such an undertaking.
Officials insisted that Goodall bring a chaperone. Thus her own mother, Vanne, accompanied her to the Gombe Stream Game Reserve, now known as the Gombe National Park, in Tanzania.
"My family has very strong women," Goodall observed as she looked back on her beginnings. "My mother never laughed at my dream of Africa, even though everyone else did because we didn't have any money…and because I was a girl."
That Goodall was (and still is) ridiculously photogenic contributed to her allure. Living in a tent, scrambling up cliffs, sitting in the African bush for hours on end with nothing more than a thermos of tea and a pair of binoculars, she appeared perpetually to have stepped from a bandbox: hair pulled neatly back into a fetching ponytail, crisp linen shirt and shorts, slim tanned legs. She seemed imperturbable: just the way we would have liked to appear, had we been cool, calm, collected, intrepid, female jungle-dwelling primatologists.
Though without formal training, Goodall was invited to Tanzania in 1960 to observe the chimpanzees. She was outwardly unassuming, inwardly driven, and fearless.
Her feminine genius served superbly in her studies of animals in the wild. She was fearless, driven, and almost preternaturally patient, content to sit day after day, scanning through her binoculars, without a single sighting.
This patient endurance paid off. She eventually learned where the chimps foraged for food, gathered, and rested. She began to know them as individuals, to observe the way they related to one another. She named them.
To her astonishment, she learned that they not only used tools, but made them: one chimp, for example, stripped a twig of leaves in order to dip it into a termite mound and pull out some snacks. She learned that the chimps engaged in ritual. She eventually learned to her sorrow that, like humans, chimpanzees could become territorial, aggressive, jealous, and lethally violent..
Her studies were initially ridiculed by the male-dominated scientific world, but Goodall quietly forged on. That she is today recognized as one of the most important primatologists of the 20th-centruy and the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees is a singular triumph.
The Natural History Museum exhibit is produced in partnership with the National Geographic Society and the Jane Goodall Institute. It covers her early life, the years in Gombe, Tanzania, during which she established herself as an internationally known and respected scientist, and her current role as an activist, mentor and globe-trotting ambassador for the cause of creating "a better world for all life on Earth."
Highlights include multiscreen videos, digitally rendered chimpanzees, personal reminiscences from Dr. Goodall and a replica of her research tent, various interactive immersive activities, an update on the state of Gombe Stream National Park, the chimpanzee range in Africa, and the work of the scientists and conservationists who are following in Dr. Goodall's footsteps, and a call to action to work toward a sustainable future for everyone on the planet.
Born in 1934, at 87, Dr. Goodall work pace has barely slowed. Though COVID put a temporary halt to her 300-day a year travel schedule, she recently joined the LA Times Book Club for a virtual presentation about her most recent project, The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times.
In her Earth Day 2021 statement, she observed, "[W]e must go forward towards a world in which the Earth is not seen as an abstract – not just a pale blue dot – but one teeming with diverse and magnificent life that we must protect."

Lood de Jager says a poor start to the 2019 season may force the Vodacom Bulls to shelve their ambitious new approach. JON CARDINELLI reports.
The Bulls will host the Stormers at Loftus Versfeld this Saturday. 'It's a massive game in the context of our season,' De Jager, the new skipper, told SARugbymag.co.za.
The Bulls have a lot to prove. While there's been a lot of talk about their attacking progress over the past 12 months, there's no getting away from the fact that they finished stone last in the South African conference last season.
Yes, the Bulls intend to develop their game in 2019. Results, however, must be a priority.
The Bulls cut the Hurricanes to shreds in the opening game of the 2018 Super Rugby tournament. They failed to back up that performance in subsequent fixtures, though, and after losing four of their first five fixtures, they were well and truly out of it as far as the playoff race was concerned.
Their away form has been a particular concern. In 2017, the Bulls lost five of their first six fixtures – all of those away from home – and never recovered.
De Jager believes that another poor start in 2019 will force the Bulls to shelve their plans to evolve and focus solely on results.
'We've placed a big emphasis on the first eight matches before the [second] bye,' the Bulls captain said. 'We haven't started well in previous seasons and that has put us under pressure during the latter stages of the competition.
'While we beat the Hurricanes in the opener last year, we lost a few thereafter and ended up playing catchup. If we start well this year, we will have more of an opportunity to follow our processes and develop our game.
The Stormers impressed when the two teams met in a pre-season fixture at Cape Town Stadium eight days ago. And yet, with the number of off-field issues plaguing Western Province rugby at present, one wouldn't expect the Stormers side that travels to Loftus to be at its best.
The Bulls may be hard-pressed to win their next game against the Jaguares in Buenos Aires, though. All four of the South African franchises, as well as the Springboks, lost in Argentina last year. The Bulls have never won in the Argentinian capital.
It won't get any easier when the Bulls play the Lions at Ellis Park thereafter. They'll face the Sharks at Loftus before their first bye.
The next series of matches – before their second bye – sees them facing the Chiefs, Sharks, Jaguares and Reds. All of these games will take place in South Africa.
The Bulls will travel to Australasia in late May to face the Rebels, Brumbies, Blues and Highlanders. They haven't won a match in that part of the world since 2016.


I came across this video of Phylis Tickle (made by Travis Reed at Altervideo) reflecting on growing older, which made me think of my granny again, and how creative she was in her old age. I read an obituary on Steve Jobs last week in the Telegraph which made him sound not that nice, if phenomenally talented. And so it made me think again about what is a well-lived life, how do you live out a good story, and where is there this elusive combination of creative talent and character?

My son was enamored with the aluminum front door :-)
Coming to the Fractal Define R6, I had an idea of what I was getting into. When I built my rig last year, I teetered on the fence to buying the prior Define R5 before finally settling on a Nanoxia Deep Silence 1 for it's extra modularity. Coming to the Define series with the R6, I knew I'd be getting something similar - a modular case with sound dampening, but one that can actually breathe and not overheat. What I didn't expect was to feel like my last case was so cheap as a result. And let's be clear, that Nanoxia was a good case. The Fractal Design Define R6 is just so much better.
Versatility, Your Name is the Define R6
One of the biggest benefits of the Define R6 is how versatile it is. Out of the box, it can accommodate anything from eATX to iTX, two to six 3.5" HDDs, two to ten 2.5" SSDs (four if you take out the removable bays). It can be arranged with only the motherboard exposed or reconfigured to make it completely open and give yourself tons of air. It can be a quiet case, near completely sealed off or opened up for a still quiet case with excellent airflow thanks to the ModuVent system. When it comes to cooling, you'll find flexible mounting for radiators up to 360mm on the front and top, 280mm on the bottom, and 120mm on the rear or up to nine fans for excellent air cooling. You can do a ton between the Standard and Open layouts.
When I set about building our benchmarking rig, the first thing that struck me is how well-made and heavy-duty the different parts were. Fractal paid attention to so many of the "small things" that really make a product stand out. For example, when everything is taken apart, it doesn't feel like it will bend if you push on the frame too hard. When mounting fans on the bottom of my Nanoxia case, it would flex so much I was immediately worried it would break. Here, there's minimal flex and that's only when you're really bearing down on it, and only on the bottom of the case too. Other touches, like the aluminum, side-swappable door, sound-silencing removable top, or the easily removable (and fairly heavy!) hard drive trays all added to the impression of quality.
For fan and radiator mounting, I was really pleased to see that Fractal used slideable cutouts instead of single mounting holes. This lets you easily adjust their position for the best fit. The case also comes with three high quality Dynamic X2 GP-14 140mm fans pre-installed, two on the front and one on the rear. They run cool and quiet and their white blades match the white black theme of the case's interior.
Ease of Building
Ease is the name of the game when it comes to building in the Define R6. Both the tempered glass and right side panels are held on with rear thumb screws and pop right off. This is a great change on the tempered glass front where many cases still feature screws drilled into the panel itself and require awkward angling to remove. The power supply features a similarly easy solution. There, a face plate is screwed onto the PSU outside the case, then it's slid into place behind the PSU shroud and tightened with a pair of thumb screws. The hard drive trays have a similar solution where, in the Standard Layout, they slot into place and are secured with, you guessed it, thumb screws. Don't misunderstand, you will still need a screwdriver but those final securing touches are largely toolless.
Installing the components was straightforward and allowed for easy cable management. Fractal has included cutouts in all of the key areas where you'll be routing wires and closed those openings with high quality rubber grommets. On my Nanoxia, the grommets popped out of place easily, especially when they began filling up. Here, they stayed in place even when having to remove individual PSU lines when I rebuilt for the Open Layout.
Right Side Tray and Cable Management
On the right side of the case, there are clear channels for cable routing, identified by velcro straps and the many steel eyes to secure cable ties. There's also a channel around the edge of the case to tuck wires out of sight (even though it's hidden behind the panel anyhow). At the top of the center routing channel is the fan hub, capable of running a whopping nine fans with a single motherboard PWM header. I found this extremely convenient, running a circuit of four 140mm and three 120mm fans. You do lose individualized control when using the hub but since it's still capable of being regulated by the motherboard, I didn't find this much of a loss.
The rear is also where you'll find your two vertical SSD trays, underneath the motherboard cutout. There's a good amount of open area here and I used this for my Corsair LED hub, routing all of the wires back into the main channel. Underneath the trays is the PSU basement, which is great for tucking extra wires out of sight behind the PSU shroud.
Speaking of that motherboard cutout, I was relieved to find that it was actually large enough to mount my CPU cooler after the motherboard was already installed. I run a Noctua DH-14, which is quite large (and competitive with many AIOs) and has a two-piece bracket that tends to be millimeters too big for the cutout. I had a hunch I could install it after the board in this build and was right. Kudos to Fractal for making this space large enough for even the beefiest of CPU coolers.
Swapping to the "Open Layout" and Challenges
I did have a couple challenges along the way. Converting from the Standard to Open Layout required almost a full teardown of the case. I also managed to strip one of the screws holding the faceplate that hides the HDD trays, which was extremely difficult to remove afterward. The faceplate is also fitted tightly enough that shifting it back to the rear mounting position was very tight indeed.
Removing the top panel is as easy as the press of a button
Swapping to the Open Layout also cuts your available 3.5" hard drive mounts down to a single vertically mounted pair and eliminates the ability to run an optical drive. If you're running multiple platters or need an internal optical drive, you're better suited with the out-of-the-box Standard. In that use case, the faceplate does a great job of hiding your disk drives and makes for a clean build. I definitely prefer the Open Layout, however, as it removes everything from the way of your front panel fans and makes it easier to work with longer graphics cards.
The exposed vent features a nice dust filter to keep things clean and tidy
The other challenge was with the Moduvent system. By default, the top of the case is sealed off with a thick, sound dampened panel. Using a button on the back, the panel can be removed for access to radiators and fans. For users willing to trade sound dampening for better ventilation, the aluminum face of the vent can be removed, exposing a dust-filtered vent underneath. The panel was so tight, however, that I had to use a knife to pry it off.
Thermal Improvement
As it turns out, I needn't have bothered. I ran my Nanoxia with a similar fan setup and often kept it open on the top for ventilation. Even with the top vent closed off, I'm running an average of 3-6 degrees cooler at idle and 5-8 degrees cooler under load. These aren't hard measurements as I did swap one 120mm out for a 140mm, and am now using Corsair's Light Loop Fans instead of their Static Pressure series; however, the change has resulted in a net loss of airflow, not gain. Lower temperatures with less airflow and less ventilation is an unexpected but pleasant surprise.
With the build behind me, I can't be anything other than impressed with how well done the Define R6 is. It is a well-built and well considered case that's accommodating to air and water coolers alike. I love easy it was to build in and that the most common areas you'll want to remove are all secured with thumb screws. I've also never built in a case that was quite so easy to cable manage as this one. The Fractal Define R6 is also one of the few "quiet cases" that doesn't sacrifice cooling for sound reduction, making it a great choice for gamers who share their space but don't want their gear thermal throttling or dying early due to heat.
In a nutshell, the hype is real, my friends. The Fractal Define R6 is a great case for any prospective builder.
Very versatile and modular
Looks great in both Standard and Open Layouts
Easy to build in and access commonly swapped components
Quiet, even with the ModuVent open
Included fan hub is extremely convenient
Cable management made easy
Durable, doesn't feel flimsy even when completely torn dorn
ModuVent is tight out of the box
Converting to the Open Layout is challenging

Head of Group Charged With Protecting Student Vets Joins For-Profit College Lobby
The lobbying group of America's for-profit colleges, APSCU, announced today that Michael Dakduk is its new Vice President of Military and Veterans Affairs. Dakduk had just left the job of executive director of the Student Veterans of America (SVA). You heard that right.
SVA's stated mission is "To provide military veterans with the resources, support, and advocacy needed to succeed in higher education and following graduation." Meanwhile, the public record shows that many for-profit colleges deceive and abuse veterans, luring them into high-priced, low-quality programs and leaving them deep in debt and without improved job prospects.
President Obama said in August, "Soldiers and sailors and Marines and Coast Guardsmen, they've been preyed upon very badly by some of these for-profit institutions." The Federal Trade Commission warned veterans last week that some for-profit colleges "lie about how well their graduates fare." The respected organization Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America said in August, "Using high-pressure sales tactics and false promises, these institutions lure veterans into enrolling into expensive programs, drain their Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits, and sign up for tens of thousands of dollars in loans. The for-profits take in the money but leave the students with a substandard education, heavy student loan debt, non-transferable credits, worthless degrees or no degrees at all."
Yet as the head of the SVA, a group charged with protecting student veterans, "Dakduk often opted not to take a hard line against the for-profit industry," as Stars and Stripes put it today, mildly. There have been many opportunities in the past few years for veterans groups to weigh in on for-profit college issues, and other groups representing young veterans, such as IAVA, have taken a principled, strong stand against the abuses of this industry. Dakduk, while at SVA, mostly did not. While his board of directors issued a resolution seeking greater protections from predatory institutions, Dakduk's own statements were muted. Meanwhile, he served on APSCU's "Blue Ribbon Taskforce for Military and Veterans Education" and flew to Orlando this summer to speak at the APSCU convention.
The for-profit colleges have been raking in about $33 billion a year in taxpayer money — for many of the bigger industry players, 85-90 percent of their revenue. Many spend little on actual education, but in addition to marketing and high salaries for top executives, they set aside some cash to buy the support of Members of Congress, connected former officials, non-profit advocacy groups, respected education leaders, and others.
We know that APSCU has no shame. They keep discredited colleges and college owners in their membership ranks and on their task forces. They pressure Congress and the Administration to block reasonable rules to hold bad actors accountable for waste, fraud, and abuse, and then hire expensive lawyers to sue if they don't get everything they want.
But what about Michael Dakduk?
An official with a major national veterans organization told me today, "I'm sad. It has been became apparent that somehow Michael was flirting these people, because his attitude shifted in the past year, and that's why he left. I'm sad because he served honorably and he had a lot of talent. It's always sad when someone goes over to the dark side." He continued, "I don't know what they're paying him. It's not enough to sell his soul."
Of the for-profit colleges, this official said, "They are nothing short of war profiteers of the worst order. They are taking the valor of young people who put their faith in the VA, and their future is burned up, and their eligibility for GI Bill money is used up, so they cannot go to a real college."
The potentially good news is that, with Dakduk gone, Student Veterans of America has the opportunity to restore its place as a strong, principled advocate for vets. Let's see what they do.
Brian Hawthorne of the SVA board of directors posted on Facebook:
Mike and APSCU will have no more access to SVA than any other organization that wants to help vets succeed at their chosen institution. While I am always professionally skeptical about any institution that must answer to shareholders and investors before students and customers, I know many student vets (including myself and our new President/CEO Wayne Robinson) have had completely normal experiences at for-profit schools. Michael Dakduk now has an opportunity to prove to the entire community that he is on the side of student veterans, not the for profit schools paying his salary, and I wish him the best of luck in that inherent, but not absolute, conflict of interest. I truly hope that APSCU, with its new employee, with vigorously pursue quality education over profit and share price, and everyone should know that the veteran community, especially SVA, will be looking for improved outcomes, significant investments into students, and leadership on many issues, and not more of the same.
And a few minutes ago, SVA's new executive director, D. Wayne Robinson, issued a statement, expressing confidence that Dakduk "will continue to serve the veteran community with the same passion and integrity he demonstrated during his tenure with SVA," but also stressing that "[t]o ensure the organization's own transparency and accountability, SVA does not accept donations, grants, or any sort of financial incentive from for-profit institutions."

Tilehurst
Family open coffee shop in memory of their son Kush Bhatti
It had been Kush Bhatti's dream to open a cafe next door to his parents' convenience store in Tilehurst Road but last year the 33-year-old was found dead in his bedroom
David Millward
Mark Gibbons, who was Kush's best friend, and now volunteers in the shop along with family member Fahd Alawi
A family devastated by the sudden death of their son have opened a coffee shop in his memory.
It had been Kush Bhatti's dream to open a cafe next door to his parents' convenience store in Tilehurst Road.
But last year the 33-year-old was found dead in his bedroom.
Parents Shashi and Raj Bhatti felt unable to continue with the project, but have now opened Carpe Diem by Kush.
The coffee shop, whose name means 'seize the day', has been a hit with new customers and regulars at their store, JR Newsagents.
Mrs Bhatti said: "The coffee shop was my son Kush's idea. That's why it has taken such a long time to get it up and running, because the family was devastated.
"We had lots of problems, lots of ups and downs and then 14 months down the line we were able to open it."
She continued: "My younger son, Yash, wanted to fulfil his brother's dream.
"Kush was very artistic and that's the way it's been done, it's like a piece of art inside.
"Everyone who comes says it's like a five-star coffee shop."
Mr and Mrs Bhatti opened JR Newsagents in 1985, but leased it out.
An ongoing dispute with the tenant ended with him suddenly leaving the store in 2011 and Mrs Bhatti decided to run the business again.
She said: "We got the property back and it had been completely gutted.
"My husband and son organised second-hand shelving, second-hand freezers and new flooring and people were coming from down the street to give us a hand and we reopened within a week.
"Now we have got new shelves, new chiller cabinets, everything is new and the shop is looking beautiful."
The coffee shop opens at 6.30am and serves breakfast, freshly made sandwiches, desserts, teas and snacks through to 9pm.
Mrs Bhatti said: "It's very positive for us. Although it's taken 14 months to do it, it's everything we expected."

Birthplace of Country Music Partners with New UK Music Festival "The Long Road"
Bristol, Tenn./Va. (June 4, 2018) — The Birthplace of Country Music (BCM) is partnering with a new UK roots music festival to bring the music of our region "across the pond" just prior to BCM's Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion this September. The Long Road: A Festival of Country, Americana & Roots is a major new music and lifestyle camping festival set to bring the world-famous, inimatable sights and sounds of the country music scene to the UK. Taking place within the grounds of Stanford Hall in Leicestershire (located two hours north of London) from September 7—9, 2018, The Long Road will present one of the UK's largest, most authentic celebrations of country, Americana, and roots music featuring five stages of live performances, bespoke food events, and a wide range of themed outdoor activities.
Curated by Bristol, Tennessee native Baylen Leonard, a well-known country music specialist and radio presenter in the UK, The Long Road will present an array of artists from iconic US stars to up-and-coming home-grown talent.
"We first met Baylen at Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion several years ago when he asked if he could conduct artist interviews for his BBC radio show during the festival," said Leah Ross, BCM Executive Director. "He is proud of the history of his hometown and a huge supporter of our festival. He first approached us with the idea of partnering with a new country music festival in the UK over a year ago. We talked with our partners at the Virginia Tourism Corporation, and they are now partnering with us to bring a few Bristol Rhythm acts from Virginia to the UK to perform at The Long Road, including Folk Soul Revival, Dori Freeman, and Andrew Alli, and we are working with Tennessee Department of Tourist Development to show the Born in Bristol documentary film during The Long Road music festival as well."
The first wave of acts that were announced in April included country star Lee Ann Womack, acclaimed singer-songwriter Billy Bragg, multi-platinum-selling singer-songwriter Angaleena Presley, British country duo The Shires, popstar-turned-country music singer Una Healy, and Texas singer and winner of The Voice USA Danielle Bradbery. Reflecting the extraordinary surge in popularity that country music has enjoyed in the UK in recent years, The Long Road will also feature a strong contingent of rising star UK acts across the weekend including hotly-tipped London-based duo Ferris & Sylvester and country-soul singer-songwriter Yola Carter.
Much more than just a music festival, The Long Road will embrace all aspects of the country and Americana scene and, alongside its live music offerings, will incorporate an array of themed activities including moonshine and bourbon tasting, instrument and songwriters' rounds, lake swimming, a Southern-inspired food and shopping village, and much more, providing festival-goers with a unique, authentic country music lifestyle experience.
