– That's a funny tale all of it's own. I didn't know what to write next and while on vacation with my husband in Tennessee, I drove past a wedding chapel up on a high hill surrounded by trees and I thought, "What about a wedding chapel?" I mentioned it to my publisher later on a phone call – just the title, no story, no plot and she loved it! So I was off with a new story.
– Maintaining confidence. I think every writer battles doubt somewhere during the writing process. So I strive to not give up on my gift and talent.
– Tell us something more about your main characters Jimmy and Taylor? Are they close to someone from your real life?
– Jimmy, one of the historical characters, is a lot like my grandpa—who was also called Jimmy. I found a picture of my grandparents when they'd started dating in the '30s and it really inspired Jimmy and his love, Collette.
Taylor, and her love, Jack, developed on their own. I'm not sure I had anyone in mind for either of them, though all characters are somewhat autobiographical.
But it's fun to invent people I might want to be friends with if they were real.
– I didn't have a lot of time for The Wedding Chapel. I had about 3 weeks to develop the plot and three months to write it. From there, the process takes about a year from first submitting to my editor, through the rewrites, the line edits and the advanced copies going out to reviewers. Publishing is not a fast game.
– The Wedding Dress became a huge hit. Did you expect such a success?
– From the beginning, all involved felt like The Wedding Dress was a special book. I expected some success, but not quite the level it's reached now. The book was published four years ago but has seemed to find a second wind the last few months.
– Would you share the story of your own personal wedding dress? How you selected it?
– Good question. I'm not sure anyone has ever asked me this before. I was 31 when I got married and had been working in the corporate world for several years, so there wasn't a lot of family around to help. But after I was engaged, I visited a local bridal shop on my lunch hour with a co-worker. Not very romantic but we got the job done! It's been 24 years since that day but I think I found a dress on my first visit. I didn't spend a lot of time looking through bridal magazines. I knew what I wanted and when I found it, I bought it.
– Here's my Facebook bio: Believer, wife, daughter, sister, friend, worshipper, USA Today Bestselling author. Ohio State Alum. I'd probably add writing mentor too.
– Since I write full time, I spend the work day/work week in my office writing. If I'm not on deadline, I catch up with life that got shoved aside.
I write 2000-3000 words a day for the rough draft. More if time is tight. When I'm two-thirds done, I start the book over, layering, adding emotion, adding story threads, fixing the beginning to match the end.
It can be intense at times but this seems to be my best work flow.
– Are you satisfied by the sales of your book?
– Ha! Interesting question. I think every author wants more sales. The Wedding Dress sales have been very surprising the past few months, but I'd love more sales because I'd love to reach more readers. I do love readers.
– I have a great publicity team at my publisher, Harper Collins Christian Publishing. I am also very active on social media and I have author-buddies who help me promote, as I do for them. I also utilize a small street team. Of course, I'm so appreciative of blogs like yours that reach out to me for an interview.
– The next book, The Wedding Shop, comes out August 2016. It's about the restoration of an old wedding shop and the connection between the historical and contemporary heroines.
– Your description in your Amazon profile is "corporate grinder who realized she preferred facing the blank pages of her next novel rather than getting a regular paycheck." Do you remember the exact moment when you decided to quit your job and to concentrate on writing?
– Ha! Yes! My life was very busy and I was starting to feel the stress of it all—which was new to me. I was involved with my husband in church ministry, working fill time and writing. I was also on the board of American Christian Fiction Writers. After talking with my husband, and praying, we decided to quit the only thing that paid money—my day job. I have never regretted it. Never looked back. It's such a blessing to do what I'm called to do.
– Q: Why do your books have an inspirational/faith thread? A: I met Jesus when I was six years old and even at that young age, I knew my life had changed. So I love weaving faith elements in to my stories. To me it creates a sense of hope. In trying to be creative with the spiritual threads, I ended up using supernatural events to "show" how God invades our natural world. It's become a part of my brand and is really a lot of fun.

This Stuff-it Microfiber Cloth with drawstring in green, yellow, black, and blue 4-pack from Carson is a handy little accessory that can be thrown into your gear bag or clipped to your jacket. Remove the super-soft microfiber cloth from its protective pouch and use it to clean camera lenses, telescopes, spotting scopes, eyeglasses, and other valuable optics. It is a safe and convenient way to remove lint, dust, dirt, and fingerprints from your valuable optics. When you are finished cleaning, pulling the drawstring will retract the cloth back into the pouch.
Box Dimensions (LxWxH) 13.9 x 9.85 x 1.75"
Stuff-it Microfiber Cloth with Drawstring (Green, Yellow, Black & Blue) is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 133.
Rated 1 out of 5 by GA shooter from Nearly Useless Product For years I have used a similar product by a different manufacturer and made the classic mistake of being lured by a cheap price. Unfortunately, this microfiber cloth is attached to the mini pouch in the middle, not on one end. This means you have a very small piece of cloth to actually clean with and you can't reach the lens with this clipped on the strap.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Noornashriq from What a brilliant design Ive been wearing spectacles since forever. And the one thing that annoys me often is that I cant seem to find a proper cloth whenever I need to wipe my glasses. I always end up using the end of my shirt which eventually will leave scratches by the end of the year (I always order my glasses with anti-scratch coating). With this I could just clip it on my bag and leave it there. I know the cloth wont get dirty because its secured inside its pouch. Now, every where I go I have a proper cloth to wipe my glasses. I would probably buy a few more of this so that I can have it on my other bags and on my keychain too.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Daniel F from Awesome Little Cloth This cloth works well. Just like other microfibers but this one tucks away in its own little pouch. Perfect to keep in your backpack and doesn't get in the way.
Rated 2 out of 5 by David from good idea, executed poorly The surface area of the cloth is small and the cord attached to the center of it exacerbates that problem while making it hard to grasp. Does not retract fully, leaving about half the cloth out to be stuff into the housing by hand. Still requires two hands to deploy and retract. Looks like a good idea but executed poorly; in my opinion, more of a gimmick.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Videographer & Photographer Boone from small item, but big bang for your buck ! I am a professional photographer and videographer. Since I am always on the go, and in many situations dust, moisture, etc. I need a good lens wipe that is small, affordable and of course functional. It does it all. I love the compact design and how it tucks away to keep itself clean. I love that! When I was looking for a sturdy and functional microfiber cloth...I said THATS IT, That is THE ONE! You guys rock! Anytime I need something B&H is always there for all of my photo and video and of course audio needs. THANKS B&H !!!
Rated 2 out of 5 by Daniel from Would reconsider... The product is actually incredibly small, which is convenient to attach on any bag. One of the drawbacks I find with the product is having to fiddle around to unravel it and vice-versa. I think it introduces more dust and dirt to the cloth. I'd rather stick to larger clothes for that sole reason.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Charlie from A cloth by any other name... Simple: microfiber cloth with convenient built-in storage. Well worth the $3-5 they cost (prices vary by color). For the reviewers complaining that they have to stuff the cloth back in to the pouch- the product is called the Stuff-it, there should be no surprises there!

Stonehenge Summer Solstice 2022
« Herefordshire Walking Festival, 2022
Gilroy Garlic Festival 2022, California »
The longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, the Summer Solstice is a time when the days really get long and the nights are short. There is no better time of the year to celebrate, and nowhere better to do so than at the Stonehenge Summer Solstice?
When is the Summer Solstice?
The summer solstice occurs sometime between the 20 and 22 June, so it typically falls on 21 June. It is the time when the sun has its maximum tilt towards the sun.
Summer Solstice at Stonehenge
For millennia people have made the pilgrimage to Stonehenge for the summer solstice. Druids used to worship at the site, so expect modern day druids to be here to mark the occasion.

English Heritage is providing free access to the Stonehenge monument field during the summer solstice, from the evening of 20 June.
Stonehenge will then re-open for normal visitors on the afternoon of 21 June.
English Heritage suggests you follow @EH_Stonehenge on Twitter for updates on the Summer Solstice.
All this is subject to the UK Government roadmap. English Heritage has made this announcement about the arrangements for 2021.
Stonehenge Ancient Monument
Believed to be constructed about five thousand years ago, Stonehenge consists of a ring of standing stones in Wiltshire, England. Each stone is around 4 metres high and 2.1 metres wide weighing approximately 25 tonnes.
Stonehenge was made a Scheduled Ancient Monument in 1882, and was added to Unesco's list of World Heritage sites in 1986. It is owned by the UK Crown and managed by English Heritage.
It is indisputably one of the most famous landmarks in the UK, if not the world. You can learn more about the history of Stonehenge here.
Stonehenge is not the only megalithic site in the UK. Read our review of Old Stones: Megalithic Sites.

Get open tab URLs for window, or load a list of URLs into new tabs on this window.
This is a simple, no-frills extension that will be useful for folks who want a quick way to carry on a browsing thread from one computer to another.  For example, if I'm doing research at school and find a number of interesting sites, I will end up with multiple open tabs.  I may want to continue reading those tabs on another computer at home later on.
To do so, I wrote this basic extension to do exactly two things.  The first is that it will produce a list of the web page titles and urls of all the tabs open in my current window.  I can copy and paste this list into an e-mail that I can send to myself to restore this browser session anytime later on any computer using Chrome and this extension by copying from the e-mail and pasting into the extension.  Alternatively, I can save that list to a file through the extension and e-mail myself the file, upload it to Dropbox or Google Drive or somewhere else in the cloud, and retrieve it later at another computer where I can upload it through the extension and restore the browsing session.
The extension is programed to extract the http and https, and ftp lines from any list, so the list can include the web page title or any other information.  It will not open URLs that do not begin with http, ftp, or https.
---> Update 1.2.5, enhanced gmail option and added new gmail option. To create the compose window pre-filled with links, tab-snap creates a new tab that has a url which gmail recognizes as a command to start a new compose window with the given information. If this constructed url that is sent to gmail is too big, gmail will reject it, which is why the pre-filled gmail option can only allow for up to 22 tabs. Users now have the option to create a gmail compose window that has the to and subject address pre-filled with a blank body, and the entire title/list of urls copied to their clipboard so that all they need to do is paste and send.  To enable this option, go into the options menu and select "blank gmail with urls copied to clipboard".
A streamlined extension that will be useful for users who want a quick way to carry on a browsing thread from one computer to another and/or to keep a convenient archive of useful sessions. A clean or formatted list of all open tabs can be saved in multiple formats including csv which can be opened in Excel, Google Drive, and so on.  URLs can also be copied directly to the clipboard, or even e-mailed directly from the extension; a list of websites can be loaded into the extension and synced with the current browsing session either by pasting it into the extension or importing a file. This means that it will only open tabs which aren't already opened in the window, so you won't get duplicates.
---> Version 1.2.3 (Oct 11 2013) streamlined the copy and paste functionality; now the user does not have to copy/paste by hand since Chrome has enabled access to the clipboard for extensions on recent updates.  Copy to clipboard is now the default setting. Simplified and enhanced the visual presentation for the user. To enable the new chrome clipboard functionality, the permissions on the extension now include copy and paste access.
----> Version 1.2.1 (Oct 7 2013) added option to directly mail list of links via gmail. By selecting this option, a new tab will open that is a compose-message pre-filled with subject heading and body that is list of urls; all the user has to do is select who to send it to.  Due to limitations set by Chrome, this only currently works if there are 22 tabs open or less; any more than 22 tabs could result in an URL error.
----> Version 1.2 (October 2013) includes many new features, such as the ability to save a list of open tab URLs as regular text files or csv files which can be easily read by MS Excel.  Users can select their preferred output at the options menu.  The default is to print to screen in text format.  Users can now open a text file or csv file with a list of URLs directly through the extension rather than needing to copy and paste.
the File-open pop-up dialog does *not* preserve the state of the extension--as soon as you click on the dialog to pick a file, the extension closes and nothing will happen. Until this is corrected in Chrome or a software fix is found, the following workaround will enable MAC/Linux users to upload files: right-click on the extension's pop-up and select inspect element. This will create a pop-up which you can ignore temporarily while you proceed to click on the choose-file button and choose your file.  After the file is uploaded you can close the popup.  This problem does not affect Windows users using the latest version of Chrome.
Additional note for Mac users--if you really really really want the upload file functionality working now rather than waiting: Go to Menu > Tools > Extensions and click "Developer Mode".  Now instead of a regular click on the Tab-Snap icon, contorl-click and select "inspect popup".  Now you can proceed to use the file uploader.  You can close the extra popup window when you are done. I'll upload a permanent fix for this problem as soon as possible.  All other functions work, so you can also copy and paste from a file into the middle field.

Bash & Pop
The last time we saw Tommy Stinson in September 2015, we noted that he played a few Bash & Pop songs on his encore. Many of the Replacements fans in the audience just loved hearing those B&P songs. .…
After almost a quarter-century away, Replacements / Guns n' Roses / ex-Soul Asylum bassist Tommy Stinson has brought Bash & Pop back for a brand new album and raucous first performance at the 7th St Entry in Minneapolis, a room he's been playing since the age of 14.
The new album, Anything Can Happen (Fat Possum Records), comes out this coming Friday but the night's attendees (mostly supporters of the band's successful PledgeMusic campaign) were treated to a pre-show listening party hosted by the band in First Avenue's Mainroom, as well as could purchase the vinyl or CD early.
Brooklyn punk/garage rock band The So So Glos opened the evening with a hard-hitting 50 min set of songs in support of their latest album, Kamikaze (Votiv Records), opening headlong with the record's first three songs.
The band, brothers Alex (vocals, bass), and Ryan Levine (guitar, vocals), along with Matt Elkin (guitar) and Zach Staggers (drums) keep the old school spirit of punk alive, while modernizing their sound and playing on more contemporary themes, such as "f**k my newsfeed" on 'Magazine' and a couple quips between songs about the incoming president.
The closing punch of 'We Got the Days' and 2013's 'Son of an American' with singer Levine adding "it's an honor to play here… at the end of the American empire", reminds one that punk is at its most vitriol when it slaps you in the face with its own truth about the establishment.
After a short break, Bash & Pop took to the stage for their eighty-minute headlining set, setting the tone immediately with 1993's 'Fast and Hard', and lead Tommy Stinson in an army green jacket to offset his trademark spiked and mussed hair. Though he's best known as a bassist, Stinson played only guitar, leaving bass duties to the more than capable Justin (Screeching Weasel) Perkins while drummer Joe (Mighty Mighty Bosstones) Sirois and Steve (The Hold Steady) Selvidge on guitar completed the lineup of B&P 2.0, with each of the musicians also contributing to the new record.
"Now we're gonna get another guitar!", Stinson winced, tossing the instrument to his road crew member after only the first song, and constantly finagled with the mic stand, never really getting it to his ideal position, in a bout of Replacements-esque sloppiness.
Most of the new album, which was played overhead in the bigger room for the crowd prior, came to life in more urgent versions live, including the album opener, 'Not This Time', dedicated to his Uncle Tom, who apparently hung around and played with surf guitar legend Dick Dale.
"We try and keep it interesting for you", Stinson said before the crashing intro of 'Bad News' kicked in for only a moment, only to have him stop and re-tune, before launching it again. Things did slow a third of the way in, as Stinson traded for an acoustic guitar on a series of campfire-tinged mostly sad songs like 'He Means It' and 'Zero to Stupid'.
'Tiny Pieces' revved things back up again, a kind of anthem for this version of the band, with Stinson strumming effortlessly, like Keith Richards singing his solo songs. The new album's title track was a barroom stomper followed by the revengeful 'Unf**k You', with Stinson stopping the final song of the main set shortly after starting, asking the boisterous crowd, "who out there thinks we suck?—this one for you, buddy" before crunching a swinging 'It's a Drag'.
The encore started gently, with a subtle 'Anytime Soon' before volume turned back up to eleven for 'Never Aim to Please' and the title track of 1993's 'Friday Night (Is Killing Me)'before ending with an almost whispered last verse.
Despite over two decades away, Tommy Stinson's Bash & Pop has not forgotten how to either "bash" or "pop", causing a raucous ruckus to the select fans able to see this premier return performance of a re-born band. Though Anything Can Happen, it probably won't be another quarter-century to hear even more new music from this still restless, still rocking collective.
The band continues its US Tour into the spring, even stopping by The Late Show with Steven Colbert on Thursday and its PledgeMusic campaign is also still in motion, with chances to have the band play billiards with you, or host a keg party in your basement, or even have Stinson officiate your wedding, available at premium levels—anything can happen.

The Facade of Shame
February 13, 2020 Emily Ruyle
Last week we sent a Fri-DAIS email that talked about some of the warning signs of domestic abuse and how the abuse doesn't start with violence. Often times it starts small, using manipulation to make someone feel small.
We received a reply back from Kristen, a woman who expereinced this exact thing.
She also shared where WodBottom fits into her story. I almost didn't include it below because I didn't want this to seem salesy, but the core of everything we do is to support women and help those who are in an abuse relationship. It is such an honor to be part of Kristen's story and it is literally bringing tears to my eyes as I write this...so I kept it in.
From Kristen:
"I can 100% confirm the validity of all the listed signs of abuse. Three years ago, my then-fiance started with emotional manipulation. That snowballed into psychological and financial abuse. He then eventually started physical abuse.
Looking back, its interesting how much shame I always felt. I was the victim of his abuse, and I felt shame. It doesn't make sense, but it's their game.
Every time he'd check my receipts to make sure I wasn't lying about where I was, I felt shame.
Every time I would talk to family members without telling him first, I felt shame.
Every time he'd call me disgusting, derogatory names, I felt shame.
Every time he'd accuse me of cheating and demand a lie-detector test if I wanted to marry him, I felt shame.
The list goes on and on and on.
We don't talk about it, because "shame" is pounded into our heads every day. The thought of telling people what was going on terrified me, because I'd assume anyone would feel ashamed of me too. It was easier to pretend everything was okay.
One of the things I started doing was wearing dark, baggy, long clothes every day. No life, no spark. What attracted me to WodBottom after I left him was how unique and fun the patterns were.
I counted my shorts the other day, and I have 60 😂 But I wouldn't have it any other way. Each of those 60 pairs of shorts helped me regain confidence, regain spark, regain my individuality. They have allowed me to express the fun and loud and unique sides of myself, which, after being stifled for so long, has felt so empowering.
There is so much more I could tell about my experiences before and after leaving an abuser, but one thing I can say for sure is that WodBottom has been instrumental in my journey back to ME. The fact that my purchases benefit women coming out of similar situations is everything to me. Thank you for what you've done for me and for what you do for women all over." Kristen C.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, Kristen. Sharing stories like this help other women recognize that they aren't alone and that they are not to blame.
If you know someone or are someone who is experiencing these early signs, pleeeaaaaassseeee talk to someone. 1 in 4 women experience abuse at some point in their lives so it is pretty likely you know someone who has also experienced abuse.

Puerto Rico Bond Crisis Reaches "Point of No Return"
Publicado: Jul 31, 2015 | Publicado en: Blog
The next 24 hours are dire for investors in Puerto Rico bonds.
That's because one of the island Commonwealth's major debt issuers is about to default on a $58 million bond payment that is due Saturday, August 1.
In an article from Thursday afternoon titled, "Puerto Rico Risking Point of No Return With Debt Payment Default," Bloomberg reporter Michelle Kaske outlined the likely chain of events over the coming days that will force Puerto Rico to restructure some of its $72 billion of debt.
Brace for Investment Losses
Mom and Pop investors who own the bonds should brace themselves for a severe hit to their portfolios. The default is historic, according to Kaske. It would be "the first default since Puerto Rico was ceded to the U.S. following the Spanish-American War," she reported. "Government officials say they can't make the payment because the legislature didn't appropriate the funds last month for the current fiscal year."
Prices of the Puerto Rico's bonds are tumbling as officials prepare to release a debt-restructuring plan by Sept. 1, according to the report.
The default is the most significant event in the municipal bond market since Detroit failed to make a bond payment two years ago. "A non-payment would be the most notable since Detroit, which had about $8 billion of bonds, defaulted on $1.45 billion of insured pension bonds before it filed for bankruptcy in 2013 and then on more than $600 million of general obligation bonds," according to a report from Reuters on Friday afternoon with the headline "Puerto Rico nears default as debt restructuring beckons."
The default could have a cascading effect in the marketplace, as investors, worried about widespread defaults, dump their Puerto Rico bonds. "What could surprise investors is when they actually hear the word default, and that a default occurred," one money manager told Reuters. "The immediate reaction might be a slight sell-off in the marketplace because I think people will start to anticipate, OK, what's the next series of debt they're going to default on?"
Whether Puerto Rico defaults may not be known until Monday because a payment falling on a weekend can be made on the next business day, according to Reuters.
Regular readers of this blog know that banks such as UBS and others pitched Puerto Rico bonds and Puerto Rico Bond Funds as safe, long-term investments with little risk.
The threat of default proves the opposite to be true. A money manager told Reuters, the default and eventual restructuring of Puerto Rico's debt is "going to be a long process, a very long, drawn out process,". "It's kind of like watching the Titanic sink."

The Court Annuls the Decision of the TCA
The Tenth Administrative Court of Ankara annuls the decision of the Turkish Competition Authority in a case regarding concerted practices between cement producers on the ground that the required standard of proof was not met. (GOLTAS Cement)
The Standard of Proof in Concerted Practices Redefined
The Turkish Competition Authority ("TCA") had found that six cement producers operating in the Aegean Region of Turkey entered into a concerted practice to allocate certain geographical regions amongst themselves and to collectively raise the prices of cement products during the time period starting from January-March 2013 and ending in October-December 2014
Leniency Concluded with TCA's Opinion Instead a Full-Fledged Investigation-Ready Mix Concrete Industry
Parallel to the European Union Regulation No 17: First Regulation implementing Articles 85 and 86 of the Treaty, Article 9 (3) of the Law No. 4054 on the Protection of Competition ("Competition Law") regulates "termination of infringements" as "the Board, prior to taking a decision (…) shall inform in writing the undertaking or associations of undertakings concerned of its opinions concerning how to terminate the infringement".
International Trade | Articles
Turkish Safeguard Legislation from the Perspective of the Latest PET Case
On 16 January 2018, the Turkish Ministry of Economy ("Ministry") published a new regulation which contains the rules and procedures regarding the application, allocation and usage of the tariff quotas to be issued with regards to the imports of polyethylene terephthalate (having a viscosity number of equal to or more than 78 ml/g) listed under 3907.61.00.00.00 CN Code ("PET").
Turkish Competition Authority – Initiating More Investigations – Now What?
There are several ways triggering the Turkish Competition Authority ("TCA") to open an inquiry. The procedure may begin as a result of the TCA receiving a complaint, a leniency application or otherwise being notified of an alleged violation, or the TCA acting on its own initiative to open an inquiry. The TCA can do this in two ways - it can technically either open a preliminary investigation or a full-fledge investigation (while the former usually takes one to two months, the latter takes six months to one year).
Highlights on the Turkish Competition Authority's Recent Investigations
The Turkish Competition Authority ("TCA") has been very active in the last three months. The TCA concluded ongoing investigations against companies active in iron- steel, alcoholic beverages and banking industries as well the pending merger review into the ro-ro transportation. In the meantime, the TCA launched investigations against; (i) Sahibinden.com into its alleged abuse of dominance, (ii) Sony Turkey into its alleged resale price maintenance practices, (iii) the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies into its alleged tying and discriminatory practices, and (iv) Radontek Medical into its alleged abusive practices.
Is "Lesser Duty Rule" a Tightrope Walker's Pole in International Trade Remedies Law of Turkey?
The recent developments in the case law have led the trade remedy law practitioners to bring the Turkish Ministry of Economy's ("Ministry") approach towards the implementation of the "lesser duty rule" to their agenda. There are deep concerns and raising voices of the interested stakeholders from both sides (domestic industry and foreign traders) as to the benefits and drawbacks of its application.
Developments on Vertical Agreements in Turkey: Draft Guidelines are Open to Public Consultations
On 20 July 2017, the Turkish Competition Authority ("TCA") announced its draft amendments to the Guidelines on Vertical Agreements ("Draft Guidelines") on its website and provided the opportunity to the interested parties, including both the consumers and the undertakings, which are active in the markets that the amendments relate to, either to explain the market structure for better approach to be pursued or to raise the competitive concerns which may occur as a result of such amendments
New Anonymous Whistleblower Tool: Individuals in Fight Against Anti-Competitive Practices
Starting from 16 March 2017, individuals can help the European Commission ("EC") in uncovering cartels and other anti-competitive practices without disclosing their identity, made possible by the introduction of encrypted communications through an external service provider. Such positive step is expected to increase the effectiveness of the EC policies, as well as the workload of the competition authorities in their fight against anticompetitive practices.
Turkey Amends Merger Control Communiqué
The Turkish Competition Authority (the "TCA") amended the Communiqué governing the Turkish merger control implementation (Communiqué No. 2010/4 on Mergers and Acquisitions Requiring the Approval of the Competition Board on February 24, 2017. While there is no change to the currently applicable notification thresholds, the amendments concern the regime for successive transactions as well as for the change of control through stock exchange operations.
Turkish Competition Authority Fines Turkey's Dominant Alcoholic Drink Producer for Abuse
The Turkish Competition Authority ("TCA") has recently adopted a landmark decision in relation to Turkish traditional alcoholic beverages market (rakı). This decision is important from several perspectives.

Have you ever played the Telephone Game? This is the one where you sit in a circle as one person begins by whispering a phrase very fast into the ear of the next person. That person tries to figure out what was said, passing it on to the next person, and so on. It's fun to see what the last person thought was said, comparing it to the actual phrase that the first person used.
When we stay close to the Word of God each day, who God is for us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, becomes clearer and more wonderful. Listen to the whisperings of God in your heart, telling you of God's love for you.

Q: How to Connect Two Switches to Asus RT-AC88U Router I currently have the following networking configuration in my office.
Clients connected to a switch connected into a router. As per the details and image below.

*

*Router: ASUS RT-AC88U

*Switch: TP LINK un-managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch TL-SG1024

current network configuration
And this works completely fine. No issues at all.
However, when I connect a secondary switch with some more clients either to the first switch (option 1) or directly to the router (option 2). As per the image and details below.

*

*Router: ASUS RT-AC88U

*Switch 1: TP LINK un-managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch TL-SG1024

*Switch 2: TP LINK un-managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch TL-SG1024

proposed network config options
All the clients get kicked off the network and cannot re-establish connection.
Does anyone have any idea why this may be occurring?
Additional info...

*

*All wireless clients and single clients connected directly to the LAN ports on the router still remain connected to the network when the switch arrangement is modified.

A: I ended up resolving this issue by completing the following steps:

*

*Setting the default gateway on the router to the router itself (192.168.0.1)

This partially fixed the issue and allowed the second switch to be connected into the system with only one client without any issues.
However, when the remaining clients were connected into the second switch. None of the clients on the second switch could connect to the network. The clients on the first switch remained unaffected.

*

*Simply the problem by connecting one client at a time into the second switch.

This allowed me to identify that whenever a particular client was connected to the system. It would disconnect all users on the second switch. The client that was causing the issue in this case was a computer connected to the network that was crashed with an error message that was along the lines of ... "Please insert sandisk boot device". When this computer was restarted it no longer caused networking issues when connected to the system.

A: I had issues installing the switch, but I managed to fix it:

*

*Power off the modem

*Power off the switch.

I think what resolved it, was powering off the switch and enabling the ports on the switch, one by one.

Comfort DelGro agree deal for Dial-A-Cab
via taxi-point https://ift.tt/2vtoOJF
In a move agreed yesterday, it has been revealed that Dial-A-Cab have been brought into the Comfort Delgro fold.
Dial-A-Cab, who have been operating as a taxi circuit in London since 1953 have had their business and assets purchased by Comfort DelGro for £1.2 million.
Comfort DelGro own Computer Cab, which is a part of CityFleet, a subsidiary of Comfort DelGro.
The acquisition will expand Comfort Delgro's fleet of taxis in London to around 3000 drivers.
Earlier this month, CityFleet were awarded the Taxicard contract for another three years with an option for a fourth year.
Earlier this week Dial-A-Cab announced that they may cease trading after falling into difficulty.
It is unclear at the moment if there will be any staff redundancies or restructuring.

SPORT - INTERVIEW
Interview with Climbing Photographer Paolo Sartori
Paolo Sartori is a photographer who specializes in outdoor and adventure photography that requires not only a good photographic point of view but also good climbing and skiing skills. I asked Paolo Sartori about climbing, skiing, and mountaineering photography.

by Melisa Kaya
Paolo's working place is not his studio. Mountains are his comfort zone since he decided to be a climbing and skiing photographer. Tripods, softboxes, and big lights are not his most important equipment in the extreme conditions, he has to trust his ropes, carabiners, and quickdraws while shooting the moment. I talked with climbing, skiing, and mountaineering photographer Paolo Sartori about his career and the importance of photography in climbing.
Paolo, before talking about photography, I would like to learn more about your climbing and skiing passion. Could you tell us about yourself? Who is Paolo Sartori?
I was born and raised in a small village in the Italian Alps, with the mountains being my playground since I was a child, so getting into skiing and climbing was something natural for me and my friends. Childs living seaside want to become surfers. We wanted to become mountaineers.
Paolo Sartori jumaring up a rope to get in the right shooting place on Rote Wand, Austria. ©Enrico Veronese
How could you describe your photographic approach? What are you doing to make a difference?
Good question. Today there are thousands of talented photographers, and with the technology available it's easy for everyone to produce quality pictures. So in order to stand out, you have to always push the limits further than anyone else. To me, this means doing a lot of pre production work, arriving earlier, staying later, moving quicker, working harder. I find that often the best shots happen in the most uncomfortable moments, so you have to be there and ready.
Sometimes you have to walk up 4 hours in the for just to get one image... Lepontine Alps, Italy. ©Paolo Sartori
You have been shooting climbing and mountaineering activities of athletes. In order to do this, you have to be near them, how do you keep up with them in this extreme conditions?
Well, when it comes to shooting in the mountains often the biggest challenge is to be in the right spot at the right time…so you must be able to move quickly and safely in every terrain. I often shoot with some of the best athletes around and the last thing I want is to hold them up because I can't keep the pace.
When I'm not on assignment my main focus is on training; my weekly routine includes 3-4 long trail running sessions (or ski-mo in winter), a couple gym workouts and at least 2-3 days of climbing outside.
Lena Drapella climbing in Sardinia ©Paolo Sartori
What kind of projects do you prefer to work on?
The ones where athletes are pushing themselves, no matter what sport. One of the most inspiring things for me are people who push their limits further; they are doing their best, so I want to do my best too in order to tell their story in a proper way.

What were the most extreme conditions that you have experienced?
Shooting on 6000m high peaks in Peru with really strong wind is probably the most extreme due to the cold; Eiger North Face comes to my mind too as one of the wildest walls I've been shooting on, there where rockfalls everywhere.
How could you describe yourself, are you an athlete or a photographer?
Totally a photographer. Obviously, I need to train my athlete skills in order to do my job, but the athlete job is the performance, my job is to tell his story.
Ski touring in Mont Blanc area. ©Paolo Sartori
What are the key points that you pay attention the most before accepting a new project? What is the importance of the security factor in project selection?
The most important thing, it has to show outdoor life in an authentic way. Today many companies, especially the ones that are not strictly in the outdoor industry, don't understand that. Regarding security, there is always some risk involved when shooting extreme sports on location. I take all the precautions I so that me and the crew are safe; working with top athletes is really helpful on this because they understand perfectly the environment we are working on and they are used to deal with it. I like to think the risks are minimal, but there's always something you can't plan for...
Is there any summit or route that you would like to climb and shoot as your dream project?
Sure, too many to list them! Next year I'd like to go back to Cordillera Blanca where I'd like to climb the iconic Alpamayo and than some more challenging ice and mixed routes. But then there is Nepal, Alaska…so many things to do!
Sometimes the best shots happen in the simple moments. ©Paolo Sartori
You are shooting photos of athletes but at the same time, you are focusing on the products that they are using. What do you think about the effect of a good photograph in the buyer's decision?
Let's face it this way: I'd like to create an image that athletes would be happy to hang on their wall, while my client wants the image to display their products. If I manage to satisfy both, I can call it a good day.
Regarding the relationship between visual communication and buyers, I strongly believe that companies often focus too much on showing products. It's natural since they spent a lot of time designing every little feature of their product and they want to show it. But the real power of a photograph is the emotional reaction it generates; if the reaction is strong people will feel connected to the athlete and the brand. And the next time they will buy something, this emotion will influence their choice. It would never happen with a close-up shot of a jacket.
If you look at Patagonia visual communication, which in my opinion is one of the best in the industry, you'll hardly see products. You just see big, inspiring action and landscape photos.
Jacopo Larcher on the crux pitch of Odyssee, the hardest route on Eiger Nordwand. ©Paolo Sartori
What kind of services do you offer to brands and athletes?
Well, I like to think of myself as a visual storyteller. I know, this is a word a bit overrated today, but it is what I do: telling a story through photos and videos.
It can be the story about an athletic performance or the development of a new jacket, but is important to me that is more than just one shot. In the bigger picture, the service I offer to brands is to help them communicate their philosophy to their customers.
Paolo on location in Rote Wand, Austria. ©Enrico Veronese
You are working in a very advantageous segment of photography, it is very hard to be a climbing photographer by only getting a pro camera. How did social media influence competition in this area?
That's true in some ways, but the downside is that many good athletes are now able to get a relatively cheap camera and start shooting their own stuff. That's good if they want to become photographers, but often there are people giving all kind of photography rights to companies in exchange for a pair of climbing shoes. They are happy with it because they don't know how this industry works, but advertising rights have a great value for companies, so they should pay for it.
Same for social media, there are people new to the game that will accept a jacket for posting weekly for one year.
That said, I'm not too worried about these things because when it comes to more serious productions these people won't even be considered for the job. Doesn't matter how many followers you have if you're going for a commercial shoot, you must be able to bring back some really great content or you won't get that job a second time.
'Ice climbing is one of my favorite subjects. It's like being in a separate reality.' ©Paolo Sartori
In the future, your biggest opponent could be drones. What do you think about using drones in climbing and skiing photography?
For shooting video drones are already a must; I often use them on my productions. But for still photography there are no drones that can substitute you being close to the action; it isn't just a matter of sensor size and camera specs. If you really want to capture a photo that brings the viewer into the action, you must be there.
Stefano Ghisolfi climbing First Round First Minute, 9b. Margalef, Spain. ©Paolo Sartori
What are your expectations from brands and athletes for a successful collaboration?
From brands, most important thing is that they have an understanding of the activity we're going to shoot. That's important to tell the story in the most authentic way possible. From athletes, they have to understand that getting the shot is a collaboration between photographer and athlete, and their job is as important as mine.
Could your clients use the photographs in any publication, catalog, website, ad or other platforms in the future?
It depends on the rights they are paying for. I never do buyouts (selling all the rights in perpetuity) so companies are paying for certain rights that last a certain time frame. This could range all the way from a one-time social media post to ten years of full rights, including ad usages. Of course, this last option would be way more expensive for the client because the value they bring out from that photo is way bigger.
Roland Hemetzberger climbing the hard and dangerous Point Blank in Pembroke, Wales. ©Paolo Sartori
What advice would you give to photographers who want to pursue a career in photography?
I would try to encourage them, but I often get help requests that sound like "where's the shortcut to get where you are?". The reality is that you have to work hard, learning, practicing and maybe often failing. If you are consistently producing great content and sharing it, clients will find you. So my first advice would be to become really good at taking photographs. It sounds like oversimplifying, but I believe that most of the new photographers are focusing more on getting hired than becoming better at what they do, and this is not going to pay off in the long run.
What is your favorite photograph that you have ever taken?
There is not just one. I'm constantly evolving as a visual artist so often my favorite shots are the ones from my last shoot.
Paolo getting into position. ©Paolo Sartori
What do you think about social media? How can our readers follow you?
Social media are a great way to connect and communicate with more people, but there are big downsides to that. Being a photographer and trying to push myself creatively, I find a bit sad to see all the people traveling to the same places to get the same shot to be posted on Instagram.
Personally, I try to publish stuff that inspires myself first.
My accounts are @paolosartophoto on Instagram and @paolosartoriphotography on Facebook.
I know you will take photos from the skies next season. What is next for you?
Yeah! This year I got my paragliding license. I need some time to practice it, but I already have a lot of projects in mind…being in the skies myself will be better than using a drone!
Thank you Paolo for this enjoyable interview.

Take a good look here: This is a working example of the sorts of learning I believe any student, not just those with Autism, can benefit from. Oops, I ended a sentence a preposition with. Shucks. Where was I? Oh, kudos to Dr. James Laffey and his graduate studentsand their young participating avatars pioneering in this sucker-slap-to-the-head spot-on implementation of virtual worlds to serve students in a manner not obtainable in any other way. The "sense of place at a distance" that I and many others (see http://sigve.iste.wikispaces.net) have been talking about for years, and, indeed, in many cases, demonstrating, has been put to use here in undeniable clarity. After viewing the video, read all about it at http://isocial.missouri.edu/iSocial/ .
I already described the Tuesday Yong Zhao keynote (a couple posts back) so maybe Tuesday will go quickly. It certainly did at the time!
I'm thinking if I don't start this now I never will. Back at MNPS Virtual School the ante is raised, registration continues for the fall, and policy and procedure continue to be written and formalized. We are one less team member, for reasons I do not fully understand but must respect. On the edges of my professional life, but moving in and out of primary focus, are the development of a professional development plan for ISTE SIGOL and ongoing growth and activity in SIGVE. We also have a new puppy in the house, which is like having a new baby in many ways, and my lovely honey is starting up a business which is evermore busy.
A benefit of passage of time is hopefully that my reflections will be a little less wordy. We shall see.
Okay, now, let's get it done. I promised reflections about ISTE 12, suggested everyone who receives public or organizational funding to travel should do the same, and I've been doing a little bit of procrastination here. I'm halfway into a 4 hour plane ride from LAX to BNA (Los Angeles to Nashville for the acronym aversive), I had a Scoobynap, a tiny dose of Jack Daniels (not necessarily in that order) and I'm up and at 'em. It's likely a good thing that the wi-fi they had on the flight out to San Diego isn't featured on this older plane. The fewer distractions the better.
ISTE 2012 -- The Best Tuesday Keynote I Can Recall!
Okay, I will, I really will, do my best on the plane to do a rundown of my experiences at ISTE12 in general. I'm sitting in LAX for another hour and a half or so since my ride from Ojai had to drop me early because he had to pick up yet another visitor to his home (did I just call my best friend "my ride"?. Yeah, I did, and I'll do it again.) Until I can get my reflections down, I want you to watch something.

Is the Use of the Chinese Herbal Medicine, Ningdong granule, a Safe and Effective Alternative to Haloperidol for the Treatment of Tic Symptoms in Pediatric Patients with Tourette Syndrome (TS)?
Vincent Russell, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine
OBJECTIVE The objective of this selective EBM review is to determine whether the Chinese herbal supplement, Ningdong granule, is a safe and effective alternative to haloperidol for the treatment of tic symptoms in pediatric patients with Tourette Syndrome.
STUDY DESIGN Systematic review of three randomized controlled trials published in 2009, 2010, and 2012.
DATA SOURCES Three randomized controlled trials were obtained using PubMed.
OUTCOMES MEASURED Efficacy of Ningdong granule (NDG) as compared to control groups based on decrease in tic severity and frequency as reported by Yale Global Tic Severity Scale as well as safety, as evidenced by prevalence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) as compared to control groups.
RESULTS Li et al. (2009), Wang et al. (2012), and Zhao et al. (2010) all demonstrated improvement in a majority of the subjects' tic symptoms while decreasing ADR's from treatment with Ningdong granule compared to haloperidol.
CONCLUSION Evidence to support the efficacy of Ningdong granule to safely treat tic symptoms in pediatric Tourette Syndrome patients is strong now, due to a relevant subject population, and consistent standard of measurement. The data strongly supports the efficacy of Ningdong granule as an alternative method of treating tic symptoms in pediatric patients suffering from Tourette Syndrome.

Qing Lan is a Chinese physician-scientist and molecular epidemiologist who researches indoor air pollution, lung cancer, and occupational exposures. She is a senior investigator in the occupational and environmental epidemiology branch at the National Cancer Institute.

Life
Lan earned a M.D. from the Weifang Medical University in 1985. In 2001, she completed a Ph.D. in molecular epidemiology at the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine, as part of a joint training program with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Lan earned a M.P.H. at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Lan was awarded National Institutes of Health (NIH) scientific tenure in 2008. She uses classic epidemiologic methods, exposure assessment approaches, and biomarker platforms to evaluate relationships between exposures and cancer, and to obtain mechanistic insight. Lan is a senior investigator in the occupational and environmental epidemiology branch at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Her research focuses on the molecular epidemiology of indoor air pollution and lung cancer and occupational exposures to known or suspected carcinogens, as well as the etiology of hematopoietic malignancies. She has conducted molecular epidemiologic studies of populations exposed to well-defined classes of chemical compounds that are known or suspected carcinogens, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, diesel, carbon black, nanoparticles, and others. Lan and her colleagues apply "omic" technologies in their studies including metabolomics, genomics, epigenetics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and whole genome sequencing, as well as conduct genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
