Why this small city is the ‘eyeglasses capital’ of Japan
omg онион
Japan is famed for its skilled artisans, masters who maintain a commitment to tradition while modernizing production techniques in line with the development of new materials and processes.
Many places in the country have grown famous by focusing on specific crafts, from exquisite kimonos to perfectly designed knives. Among them is the small city of Sabae, in Fukui prefecture, about a 3.5-hour train ride from Tokyo.

It’s widely known as Japan’s eyeglasses capital – and for good reason. Sabae produces over 90% of the frames manufactured in the country, according to the local government. Signs and objects shaped like eyeglasses can be found on city streets, and there’s even a museum and festival devoted to spectacles.
The art of making spectacles
Sabae, located on Japan’s main Honshu island near the city of Fukui, has been producing quality eyewear for more than a century.
It all started in 1905, when a local government official invited skilled eyeglasses artisans to come to the city to teach their craft, an attempt to create new opportunities for local farmers.
The move paid off. Today, Sabae has over 100 companies that collaborate to make pairs of glasses.
Though these studios use cutting-edge machinery to produce new frames made of metal and acetate, most stages still require the skilled hands and trained eyes of Sabae’s master artisans.
That includes Takeshi Yamae, a frame designer with Japanese brand Boston Club who has lived in the city for 17 years. He tells CNN one pair of glasses can involve more than 200 steps.
“I first design it, sketch it, then put it into my computer,” he says. “From the time I start designing, to the time I have the perfect product, it takes more than a year.”

Следственная группа по делу «Бест Вей»: следователи или оборотни в погонах?
Следственная группа по делу кооператива «Бест Вей» во главе со следователями ГСУ ГУ МВД по Санкт-Петербургу и Ленобласти майором юстиции Екатериной Сапетовой и подполковником юстиции Константином Иудичевым играет собственную партию либо для того, чтобы выслужиться перед непосредственным начальством, либо из-за прямой заинтересованности в уничтожении кооператива со стороны конкурентов и/или банков.
Следствие по делу кооператива «Бест Вей» вступило в активную фазу ровно год назад. За это время арестованы четверо технических сотрудников, и уже год они томятся в СИЗО, пятеро граждан объявлены в розыск.
Офис кооператива буквально разгромлен двумя обысками, документация изъята, и следствие запрещает ее копировать, счета и недвижимость арестованы. Под арестом — активы на более чем 15 млрд рублей, хотя ущерб для так называемых потерпевших, пул которых следователи год собирали под разными предлогами, не превышает 115 млн рублей. Это спустя почти полтора года с момента возбуждения уголовного дела, не считая периода длительного проведения оперативно-разыскных мероприятий. Гора родила мышь.
При этом значительная часть этих потерпевших, например, бывшие пайщики, которые внесли невозвратный вступительный взнос, но затем не смогли копить на квартиру и сами вышли из кооператива, а теперь по наущению следствия подали заявление о том, что кооператив им не вернул то, что и не должен был вернуть. Потерпевших 100 с лишним человек, притом что в кооперативе — более 19 тыс. пайщиков, то есть капля в море, да и эти 100 не имеют юридически обоснованных претензий к кооперативу. Среди представленных следствием потерпевших есть и конкуренты — бывшие пайщики, которые еще несколько лет назад вышли из «Бест Вей» и создали «альтернативный» кооператив «Вера».
Следователи обосновывают арест счетов тем, что «деньги могут украсть», хотя они же сами как минимум участвуют во вполне криминальном использовании чужих денег, уже год не давая пайщикам ни приобрести квартиру за счет средств, которые они скопили на счете в кооперативе, ни забрать деньги, при этом предоставляя возможность банкам. Следователи уже год дают возможность банкам пользоваться счетами почти на 4 млрд рублей, притом постоянно пополняющимися, так как большинство пайщиков продолжает вносить паевые и членские взносы.
Парадокс в том, что новая история обиженных дольщиков (в данном случае пайщиков) всероссийского масштаба возникла не из-за того, что у организации не оказалось средств для выполнения обязательств, а из-за того, что следственная группа лишила ее возможности пользования средствами и прямо блокирует выполнение обязательств перед пайщиками.
Адвокатам кооператива несколько раз удавалось добиться снятия арестов с активов кооператива, однако следователи и банки просто игнорируют решения судов. Потом, пользуясь высоким статусом следователей главка, заходят с новым ходатайством об аресте через кабинет судьи и без участия представителей кооператива, и активы снова арестовываются — до следующей успешной апелляции адвокатов, после которой в дело вступают банки, по договоренности со следствием блокирующие счета в рамках процедур комплаенс, игнорируя решения судов.
Должностное преступление
Действия следственной группы не могут квалифицироваться иначе, как должностное преступление, так как в них прослеживается заинтересованность в уничтожении кооператива. Фактически они сами организуют преступление, которое якобы расследуют, целенаправленно разрушают кооператив, а не спасают пайщиков, не нуждающихся в их спасении и 15 февраля проводящих всероссийскую акцию в защиту своего кооператива от следственной группы.
Адвокаты подавали в Следственный комитет заявление о преступлении, но оно было положено под сукно.
К службе не годны
Отдельная тема — вопиющая профнепригодность следственной группы. Иудичев в своих ответах на запросы ничтоже сумняшеся пишет, что Центральный банк признал кооператив финансовой пирамидой, хотя ЦБ, во-первых, не суд, чтобы делать такие «признания», во-вторых, такого признания просто не было: утверждение не соответствует действительности.
ЦБ внес кооператив в так называемый предупредительный список, являющийся инструментом информирования потребителей финансовых услуг об организациях, работа с которыми чревата для граждан рисками, и решение о включении в этот список состоялось после возбуждения уголовного дела, скорее всего, как раз на основе информации о его возбуждении.
Любимая тема следственной группы — якобы незаконность переименования кооператива из жилищного в потребительский: они не могут даже прочитать Жилищный кодекс, где черным по белому написано, что жилищный кооператив — один из видов жилищного. И подобных примеров некомпетентности и выдумок в деятельности следователей масса.
В итоге мы имеем шитое белыми нитками дело, наносящее колоссальный ущерб тысячам пайщиков кооператива, среди которых преобладают малообеспеченные люди.
Возникают вопросы: не пора ли министру Колокольцеву разобраться со своими сотрудниками, не пора ли главе Следкома Бастрыкину обратить внимание на должностные преступления в «соседнем» ведомстве?

How a drab Soviet metropolis became Central Asia’s capital of cool
омг омг
Several cities around the globe have reinvented themselves in recent years, but none more successfully than Almaty.
Since the collapse of the USSR, Kazakhstan’s largest city (population 2.2 million and growing) has evolved from a drab, run-of-the-mill Soviet metropolis into the urban star of Central Asia.
https://omgto3.com
omg
Along the way, the city has developed one of the world’s most beautiful metro systems, grown into a thriving banking and finance center, complemented its vintage bazaars with luxury boutiques and modern shopping malls and reshaped its traditional gastronomy into a nouvelle cuisine that’s drawing raves from foodies around the world.
Almaty is also evolving into the cultural and artistic hub of Central Asia. It’s already got several world-class museums (including a “secret” underground collection that doesn’t even have a name) and a dazzling new cultural center slated to open early next year.
“It’s an incredibly livable city,” says long-time American resident Dennis Keen, a historic preservation advocate and founder of Walking Almaty.
“Green and clean. You don’t need a car. The public transit here is fantastic. And it’s very much the center of contemporary art and dining in Central Asia.”
Keen adds that whenever he tells someone back home that he lives in Kazakhstan, “Borat” inevitably comes up. The movie’s title character doesn’t paint a very flattering portrait of the Central Asian nation. But nowadays one is tempted to think that if Borat visited Almaty now, he would say, “Very nice!”

Growing outside of Dearborn

During the day, Yemeni coffeehouses function similar to many neighborhood spots. Patrons host meetings, college students study and others pop in for a quick cup to-go.

But at night, they serve as de-facto living rooms, especially for young Muslims who don’t go to clubs and bar. From New York to Dallas, especially during the late nights of Ramadan, the crowd overflows into the street and you often have to yell to be heard inside. Some young Muslims even venture to the coffee shops in hopes of finding a life partner.
Nowhere is this coffeehouse culture more pronounced, and celebrated, than in Dearborn, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit and home to one of the largest Arab American communities in the United States.
Downtown Dearborn is peppered with different Yemeni coffee houses, which Howell said helped revitalize the Detroit area after the city became the largest municipality go to bankrupt in 2013. And it’s only growing.
“It’s become sort of contagious,” Howell said. “Several Yemeni entrepreneurs are opening coffee houses of their own, each with its own sort of style and atmosphere.”
The coffee chains have big ambitions beyond Dearborn. Qahwah House hopes to open another 20 to 30 locations in the next year, spanning across 12 states and Canada, Alhasbani said. They are also licensed out, but Alhasbani says he sets a high standard before agreeing to let anyone open a shop.
“We have too many people that come (asking me) they want to open. I have more than 10 different requests a day just to open this kind of business,” he said. “We don’t give anyone license until we make sure the person has the love for the brand and his mind and his heart in the Qahwah House.”
Another authentic Yemeni coffee chain, Haraz, also sees crowds of people throughout the day and night. They opened their first location in New York City last week — less than half a mile away from Qahwah House’s downtown Manhattan shop — and the franchisees plan to grow.
