New Aruban Fauna stamp issue
The Postal Service of Aruba has
issued a new set of stamps in its 'Fauna' series. The stamps feature goats, one
of the oldest domesticated species.
Farmers began keeping goats
primarily for their milk and meat, but also for their dung, which was used as
fuel, and their bones, hair, and sinew that were used for clothing, building,
and tools. Historically, goat hide has been used to make water and wine bottles
for traveling and for transporting wine to market. It has also been used to
produce parchment.
Life expectancy for goats is
between 15 and 18 years. A rare instance of a goat reaching the age of 24 has
been reported.
Stamps celebrate Jersey airport anniversary
Six stamps, a Miniature Sheet
plus a fascinating Prestige Booklet were issued on 10 March 2012 to mark the
75th anniversary of Jersey
Airport . All the stamps
by Jersey Post feature aircraft that have landed at Jersey
during different decades in the airport's history.
The Prestige Booklet is filled
with images and information about the airport, plus more aircraft that have
landed since it opened and is a 'must have' for aviation enthusiasts. It also
contains three sets of stamps and a Miniature Sheet.
Group Chief Executive Officer for
Ports of Jersey, Doug Bannister, says: "We are delighted that Jersey Post
has chosen to celebrate Jersey
Airport 's 75th
anniversary with this commemorative stamp collection. The airport has played a
significant role in everyday island life for the past 75 years and the
information booklet and accompanying stamps are a wonderful reflection of this."
Children's Books - new stamps by Israel Post
This series is made up of eight
classic Israeli children's books. They have become a common cultural
denominator for two and even three generations of Israelis, from the first book
in the series, "Come to Me, Nice Butterfly", which was published in
1945 through "Itamar Walks on Walls", which came out in 1986.
All of these books are geared
toward toddlers who cannot yet read. As parents and grandparents read them to
today's toddlers, they may reminisce about their own childhoods, enjoying the
same stories they did when they themselves were children. All of these books
have most definitely withstood the test of time.
