Koska was a former quarter of Istanbul, near Laleli.
The company takes its name from their old location at Koska.
Helvacı means producer or seller of sweets in Turkish. "
Koska Helvacısı", then, "Sweetshop of Koska".
Koska's origins go back to the city of Denizli in the early 1900s.
It was founded by Hacı Emin Bey.
His son Halil İbrahim Adil Dindar came to Istanbul in 1931.
He started a helva production and sale shop at Koska.
In 1982, after the death of their father, the three Dindar brothers inherited the company and divided it into two.
They made an agreement to continue to use the brand name of Koska, both of them independently.
Nevzat and Mümtaz Dindar established "Merter Helva" under the brand name "Koska".
Mahir Dindar established "Mahir Gıda" under the brand name "Koska Helvacısı".
Thus both companies market(ed) their products using the traditional name "Koska".
At present
In 2011, Merter added a "nazar boncuğu" (traditional blue and white bead for good luck) image to its logo, with the aim of differentiating the two companies.
This was criticised by Mahir Gıda as a violation of their agreement.
They announced that no Koska product bore any signs like bugs, flowers or beads.
In return, Merter announced that no Koska product without the image of the "Helvacı Dede" (Grandpa Helvacı) is genuine Koska.
Merter Helva drafted a "constitution" or agreement not to have similar divisions in the future.
They also received a "kosher food" and a "halal food" certificate.
Both companies produce Turkish delight, fruit preserves and various other sweet confections.
This is in addition to the traditional "helva".

The stories of these strangers converge when they arrive in Bern.

Obergefell v. Hodges was a landmark decision United States Supreme Court case.
The Court held that the recognition and provision of same-sex marriage is a fundamental right.
They ruled it is guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Not one lawsuit
The U.S. Supreme Court case, Obergefell v. Hodges, is not the result of one lawsuit.
Instead, it is the result of a consolidation of six lower-court cases originally representing sixteen same-sex couples, seven of their children, a widower, an adoption agency, and a funeral director.
The original cases hail from the four states of Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
All six federal district courts ruled for the same-sex couples and other claimants.
The lead plaintiff in the case was Jim Obergefell.
He had challenged Ohio's ban on same-sex marriage.
He filed the lawsuit because he could not put his name on his partner, John Arthur's death certificate.
Ohio would not recognize their marriage in Maryland.
The dissents in the Obergefell case argued that this decision was not based in law.
Chief Justice Roberts, in his dissenting opinion, explained the Obergefell plaintiffs’ “‘fundamental right’ claim falls into the most sensitive category of constitutional adjudication.”
The claim is not based on a right mentioned in the constitution.
Instead, it was argued that it discrimination against “a right implied by the Fourteenth Amendment’s requirement that ‘liberty’ may not be deprived without ‘due process of law.’”
On June 26, 2015, Obergefell requires all states to issue a license to marry between all people of the same sex.
It requires all states to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions.

Retrojunk: George Shrinks
Mare Nostrum (Latin for "Our Sea") was a Roman name for the Mediterranean Sea.
In the years after the unification of Italy in 1861, the term was used again by Italian nationalists.
They believed that Italy should follow on from the Roman Empire.
Use of the term in Roman times
The term mare nostrum was used in the first place by Romans to refer to the Tyrrhenian Sea.
This was after they had taken over the countries around it.
These were Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica.
It happened during the Punic Wars with Carthage.
When they controlled Hispania they expanded the term to the whole western Mediterranean.
By 30 BC, the Romans had taken over the countries around the Mediterranean from the Iberian Peninsula to Egypt.
So they started to use the name mare nostrum for the whole Mediterranean Sea.
They used other names as well, such as Mare Internum ("The Internal Sea").
However, they did not use the name "Mediterranean" (Middle Sea), as this name came later.
Use by Italian nationalists
In the 1880's some Italians became interested in nationalism.
Other European countries had made colonies in Africa (called the "Scramble for Africa").
They wanted Italy to have African colonies too.
The term mare nostrum was used again by the Italian poet Emilio Lipi
Use by Mussolini and the Italian Fascists
The term was again used by Benito Mussolini for use in fascist propaganda.
He used it in the same way that Adolf Hitler used the word lebensraum (German for "living space").
It meant they wanted to take over other countries to have more for themselves.
Mussolini wanted Italy to be great like the Roman Empire.
He believed that Italy was the most powerful Mediterranean country after World War I.  He said that "the twentieth century will be a century of Italian power".
Mussolini built up a powerful navy so he could control the Mediterranean Sea.
When World War II started, Italy already controlled the north and south shores of the middle part of the Mediterranean.
The western part was controlled by Spain and France.
The eastern part by Greece, Turkey and the British Empire.
In 1940 the fall of France removed the main threat from the west.
At the same time Italy invaded Greece and Egypt and attacked the island of Malta.
Mussolini talked about making the Mediterranean "an Italian lake".
The Axis (Italy and Germany together) defeated Greece, but could not defeat the British in Egypt.
For the next three years they fought many battles there (called the Western Desert Campaign).
The British and Italian navies also fought at sea (this is called the Battle of the Mediterranean).
By 1943 the Axis in North Africa had been beaten and in September 1943 Italy was invaded and forced to surrender.
Use of the term today
The name "Mare Nostrum" was chosen for a conference by the Society for Mediterranean Law and Culture.
It was held in June 2012 at the University of Cagliari in Sardinia.
What they meant by the term was the full diversity of Mediterranean cultures, especially for exchanges and cooperation among Mediterranean nations.
After a 2013 shipwreck near Lampedusa when many migrants from Africa had to be rescued.
The Italian government increased its patrolling of the Mediterranean Sea.
It called this "Operation Mare Nostrum", which was a military and humanitarian operation to rescue the migrants and arrest the traffickers of immigrants.

Scottish English, also known as Scottish Standard English or Standard Scottish English (SSE), is a dialect of English that is spoken in Scotland.
People can tell Scottish English from British English by their accents, grammar, and vocabulary.
Scottish English should not be confused with Scots, a language which is very much like, but separate from English.
The Scots language itself has affected Scottish English by means of contact with the Standard English after the 17th century.
Still, many speakers of both Scots and Scottish English put them into different registers and smoothly switch between the two.
