Even though French President Francois Hollande cancelled his visit to the
Summit due to the Paris killings, a stamp in his honour too was issued.Ganesh Potphodehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07692395762734412302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963054140362145646.post-62220923422005146642015-08-06T13:50:00.001+04:002015-08-06T13:50:41.370+04:00Brazil : 2016 Rio Olympic Stamps<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Brazilian postal administration has finally released the
first host country stamps commemorating the upcoming Olympic Games (5-21 August
2016) and Paralympic Games (7-18 September 2016) to be held in Rio de Janeiro.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Commemorating Stamps comprised of two souvenir sheets of two
stamps, plus two panes consisting of 6 strips of 3 se-tenant stamps – in its spring
2013 issue. At that time philatelic author Jean-Louis Emmenegger revealed that
the stamps, which had presumably been printed in June 2012 in time to celebrate
the handover of the Olympic Games from London to Rio, were being withheld from
release by Brazil Post because of a licensing dispute with the Olympic Games
organizing committee.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Without the customary fanfare surrounding the issue of host
country Olympic stamps, these first issues began to appear in the philatelic
marketplace in early 2015.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The horizontal pane of 18 stamps consists of six strips of 3
se-tenant stamps (shown above) which together create a ribbon connecting
landmarks in London, where the 2012 Olympic Games were conducted, with a
silhouette of the mountainous terrain surrounding Rio. Two nearly identical
versions of these sheets were printed, one bearing the 2016 Olympic Games logo
in the selvedge, and the other with the 2016 Paralympic Games logo. Each of the
two panes was printed in a quantity of 10,000 (180,000 stamps of each). The
three se-tenant stamps in the two panes are non-denominated, paying the first
tier rate for domestic letters.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The two souvenir sheets – one for the 2016 Olympic Games
(shown above) and the other for the 2016 Paralympic Games (at right)– show the
same scene in the background: Rio’s Sugarloaf Mountain and city below. The two
stamps on the Olympic sheet bear the 2016 Olympic Games logo. One of the
se-tenant stamps depicts Big Ben and Tower Bridge, while the other is an
artistic representation of Sugarloaf Mountain. The Paralympic Games logo
appears on each of the two stamps on the second sheet. In this case London’s
Olympic Eye Ferris wheel is displayed on the first stamp while the second shows
the famous Christ the Redeemer statue atop Corcovado Mountain. The two souvenir
sheets were issued in quantities of 15,000 sheets of each. The stamps in the
two souvenir sheets are each denominated at R$2.60.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Brazil Post’s schedule of stamp issues for 2015 includes two
more series. On 24 March there will be a set of ten stamps commemorating the
Olympic and Paralympic Games. Another set of ten stamps as well as six
postcards will be released on 5 August.</div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">India’s Mars Mission :
India created history on Wednesday, becoming the first country to successfully
get a spacecraft into the Martian orbit on its maiden attempt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">Indian Space Research Organization’s Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) spacecraft
started orbiting the red planet at 7.47am, but it was only 12 minutes later
—because of a time delay in radio signals travelling the 680 million km -- that
scientists at Isro Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network in Bangalore, could
erupt in joy as Prime Minister Narendra Modi stood a happy witness.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">For most of the time the main engine was firing — 20 of the 24 crucial minutes
— MOM was hiding behind Mars, adding to the suspense.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">The scientists had waited for more than 300 days as MOM journeyed on through
space, but the last 54 minutes were virtually unbearable. For, it was during
this period that the orbiter first reoriented itself and then fired its engine
and thrusters for about 24 minutes to get into the Mars orbit.</span></div>

Incheon was once the gateway through which western
civilization entered Korea 100 years ago when the Incheon port was opened. Now
it is the logistics hub for northeast Asia and the Asian gateway housing the
Incheon international airport. To further cement this international status The
17th Asian Games Incheon 2014 will be held in this beautiful port city.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Incheon Asian Games are to take place from September 19
to October 4, 2014 with about 13,000 athletes and officials participating and
some 7,000 media representatives from all 45 member countries. Athletes will
compete in a total of 36 sporting games including 28 Olympic sports and 8
non-Olympic sports. Under the slogan of “Diversity Shines Here,” these games
will be about bringing real peace and harmony with the participation of North
Korea.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In particular, the most talked about aspect of the upcoming
event is balanced sports development across Asia and environmentally friendly
policies. The organizing committee and the city of Incheon have provided
substantial support to countries which have less sporting competitiveness and
offered an opportunity to train in Korea, with the dispatch of coaches, sports
facilities and equipment at an investment of 20 million dollars. Environmental
policies include: a landfill which has been converted into a golf course and
geothermal and photovoltaic energy which are to be used for air conditioning,
heating and indoor illumination. With this tremendous effort, the Incheon Asian
Games aims to pursue a low-carbon & eco-friendly event.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is hoped, the games will be a true festival which 4.5
billion Asian people can enjoy together. The commemorative stamps featuring,
bowling, squash, rhythmic gymnastics, wrestling, cricket and the mascots of the
event will be issued. The spotted seal chosen as a mascot and designated Korea’s
natural monument no. 331, inhabit the waters of Incheon’s Baengnyeong Island,
in the northernmost location of the Republic of Korea. They are known as a
symbol of peace between North and South Korea since they travel freely between
the two Koreas.</div>
