THE LETTERS OF IVOR PUNCH (PAPERBACK 2016)
FEATURING ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FROM COLIN AND AN ACTUAL LETTER FROM ISABALLA BIRD
Winner of the Edinburgh International Book Festival's First Book Award.
'The Letters Of Ivor Punch'
'I raced through this clever, poignant, beautiful book in one sitting. It's peopled by a cast of brilliantly off-the-wall characters, and full of keen-eyed observations about life on a remote Scottish island – and, by extension, everywhere. A must-read.'
Laura Barnett, Best-selling author of The Versions Of Us
"As a songwriter, Colin MacIntyre seems always to have been a natural storyteller. Perhaps it was only a matter of time before he turned his abilities to the longer form of the novel. It is fitting that the man best known as Mull Historical Society has crafted a story to which he has put his own name, yet it is a novel which owes so much to his roots on the island of Mull. Such powerful storytelling resonated strongly with readers at the Book Festival, making Colin a runaway winner in voting for the First Book Award."
Nick Barley, Director of the Edinburgh International Book Festival
"He writes with a clarity of style."
"We meet a pioneering female writer, two fatherless boys, a man who fell from the sky and, of course, the prolific letter writer Ivor Punch."
The Big Issue In The North
"The Punch family history is both fascinating and sad. The book is interesting, funny, has a famous cameo and keeps you reading, and it's only when you reach the end of the final chapter that the Punch family history falls into place… The characters are original, well-written, and it's one of those books you want to re-read after you've finished it."
Newbooks Magazine
'A truly original and enthralling novel. Ivor Punch is a magnificent creation and his story is mischievous, sad, funny and truthful.'
Stephen Kelman, Booker Short-Listed Author of Pigeon English
'Tragedy and superstition hang over the characters like a mist, and the sea laps against every page. A Beguiling novel.'
The Independent On Sunday
'MacIntyre is a storyteller with a unique imagination, and has created a genuinely heartfelt novel with some standout elements of dark comedy. The shadow of death is a striking, compelling theme.'
"Fascinating and sad … interesting, funny [and] one of those books you want to re-read after you've finished."
New Books Magazine
'A stunning debut.'
Waterstones Piccadilly, London

'LOSS' & 'US'
@ CELTIC CONNECTIONS 2023
One of Scotland's most celebrated artists of the 21st Century – MULL HISTORICAL SOCIETY – will return in 2023 with a wave of new activity.
Signing with Demon Records, the alias of Colin MacIntyre will be releasing a trilogy of colourful classic album reissues ('Loss', 'Us' and 'This Is Hope'), plus a lavish 80 track media-book box set ('Archaeology: Complete Recordings 2000-2004') – all released on 24th February. Order here: https://mullsociety.lnk.to/archaeology
In addition, MHS will also be returning to the live stage for a very special anniversary show in celebration of his early works.
The jewel in the crown of these revisionary releases is 'Archaeology: Complete Recordings 2000-2004'; an expansive and ornately produced 4xCD media/book set that is a must for every Mull Historical Society fan. A monument to MacIntyre's earliest period, its 80-strong tracklist includes the first three MHS albums in their entirety (Discs 1-3), plus a fourth disc compiling a trove of unreleased rarities, live tracks, demos, and covers (inc. The Strokes' "Last Nite", Ms Dynamite's "It Takes More" and Radiohead's "Motion Picture Soundtrack"). Accompanying the audio is a lovingly produced book, compiling exclusive photographs, extracts from Colin MacIntyre of MHS's celebrated writings (inc. a preview of his new memoir 'The Boy In the Bubble'), plus a reflective chapter on 'Loss' extracted from Tom Clayton's 2022 book 'When Quiet Was The New Loud', and an essay from journalist Billy Sloan discussing the Mull Historical Society legacy.
In tandem with the boxset release, MHS' first three albums ('Loss', 'Us' & 'This Is Hope') will also be available as individual vinyl editions for the first time since their release.
The record that started it all, 'Loss', Mull Historical Society's Gold-selling, Top-40 breakthrough album is being remastered and repressed in a 2xLP black vinyl edition. Featuring the 7-minute epic "Barcode Bypass" (a track named NME's Debut Single of the Year in 2000), the single signalled the emergence of a truly original song-writing talent for the new millennium, with MTV supported follow-up singles such as "I Tried" and "Animal Cannabus" laying the groundwork for a momentous debut album. Sumptuously crafted, with quirky and thought provoking lyrics, 'Loss' proved to be an instant hit with fans and critics alike. "'Loss' was about dealing with grief, celebrating life and a tribute to Community too" remembers Colin, "and I feel so blessed it found one". Widely acknowledged as one of the best British albums of that year (2001), 'Loss' received universal praise from the likes of NME (9/10), Uncut (5/5), The Scotsman (5/5), The Observer, Time Out and more. Standing the test of time over the years, 'Loss' was a recent subject of the Sunday Herald's 'Scotland's Best Albums' series, while its featured hit single "Watching Xanadu" featured on STV's 'Scottish Greatest Album' show.
Marking its 20th anniversary this year, MHS' sensational follow-up record, 'Us', also receives a 2xLP black vinyl edition, with remastering by Phil Kinrade. A record about "reaching outwards and making sense of an exciting, hugely changeable, time in my life" reflects Colin, its personal subject matter would also connect with wider audiences and became a Gold-selling Top-20 smash. Featuring hit singles the likes of "The Supermarket Strikes Back" (a follow-up song for "Barcode Bypass") and the wonderful Top 20 highlight "The Final Arrears #19", the album was testament to an artist mastering his craft and expanding his world, with a 5* review in the Observer praising it as: "Originality is at its core. MacIntyre has arrived as if fully-formed. A tartan clad debut of aspiring proportions".
Bookending this trio was 'This Is Hope', an album that will be pressed on vinyl for the very first time in 2023. Mull's third act of those early years, marked something of a departure from "Loss" and "US". Made at the legendary Bearsville Studios in Woodstock, NY, it was also his first recorded outside the UK. Travelling across the US over a two-month period, the sights and sounds of America's deep south would bring exotic new flavours to the MHS sound, notably so on the Top 40 hit single "How 'Bout I Love You More" and the exceptional closer "In The Next Life (A Requiem)", which featured a New Orleans gospel choir.
Reflecting on the last 20+ years of Mull Historical Society and these upcoming releases, Colin MacIntyre says:
"I truly appreciate how these albums seem to have found their way into people's hearts & minds over the past 20-plus years, which makes me feel like quite the spring chick… Over the past few years I've had possibly my biggest creative surges in both music and writing, juggling the puzzle of where to land loads of new ideas. It reminds me of the time leading up to making 'Loss' when it all started to make sense. So I'm excited to have the first three albums' reissued on vinyl ('This Is Hope' for the first time), plus an 80-track Complete Recordings Box-set retrospective out in Feb, for which I hope the "real" MHS won't mind me borrowing their "Archaeological" arm in the title…"
In celebration of the re-issues, Mull Historical Society is planning a unique performance at this year's Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow. On 3rd February 2023, Mull and a full live band (plus some special guests TBA), will be performing his first two records 'Loss' and 'Us' in their entirety at the city's Saint Luke's venue. Promising a reflective and celebratory evening, tickets and further details can be found here.
Mull Historical Society is the musical project of Colin MacIntyre – the multi-award-winning musician, producer, author for adults and children, and playwright. Writing music that is often personal and steeped in the tradition of his native island, yet with an adventurous spirit and outward-reaching appeal, his works have resonated with audiences both in the UK and all over the world.
To date, MHS has released 8 acclaimed albums including two UK Top 20 albums, and four Top 40 singles. Colin has also collaborated with a range of artists including Irvine Welsh, Annie Lennox, Snow Patrol, King Creosote, Tony Benn (appearing in Benn's famous Diaries) and has toured worldwide, including with REM, The Strokes, and Elbow. His debut novel 'The Letters of Ivor Punch' won the 2015 Edinburgh Book Festival First Book Award, and his memoir 'Hometown Tales' came out in 2018.
MacIntyre has been voted Scotland's Top Creative Talent at the Glenfiddich Spirit of Scotland Awards, as well as one of the Greatest Scottish Artists of All Time in a public poll.
Over two decades on since his landmark debut, MacIntyre's creative streak continues into 2023 with an exciting series of reissues on Demon Records, plus plans for a new MHS album and novel.

SHORT BIOGRAPHY 2023
Colin MacIntyre is a multi-award-winning musician, producer, author for adults and children, and playwright, who has been voted Scotland's Top Creative Talent. Born into a family of storytellers and writers, he was raised on the isle of Mull in the Hebrides and has released 8 acclaimed albums to date, most notably under the moniker Mull Historical Society. A songwriting junkie since childhood, he had written & recorded 300 songs before he even secured a record deal (with Rough Trade, then Warner Records). He has achieved two UK Top 20 albums and four Top 40 singles to date, since his Gold-selling debut album, 'Loss'. His new MHS album, 'Wakelines' has been released to critical acclaim and was produced by Mercury/Brit-Award-winning Producer Bernard Butler. His debut novel 'The Letters of Ivor Punch' (W&N) won the 2015 Edinburgh International Book Festival First Book Award and he has adapted it for the stage as 'The Origins of Ivor Punch' at A Play, A Pie & Pint, running to sold out theatre audiences in Glasgow & Edinburgh's Traverse (May 2019). It was shortlisted for the Guardian's Not the Booker Prize. Mull's local hero status secured, he has been celebrated globally, having been voted Scotland's Top Creative Talent at the Glenfiddich Spirit of Scotland Awards, as well #12 in the Greatest Scottish Artists of All Time public poll, and his single 'Watching Xanadu' made STV's 'Scottish Greatest Album'. Colin has collaborated with a range of artists including Irvine Welsh, Annie Lennox, Snow Patrol, King Creosote, Tony Benn (appearing in Benn's famous Diaries) and has toured worldwide, including with REM, The Strokes, and Elbow. He has appeared across the board on TV and Radio, in the UK and abroad, including 'Later with Jools Holland', 'The Jonathan Ross Show' and MTV. His memoir, in which he talks about his journey from growing up on Mull to headlining in New York (his boyhood hero, Talking Heads' David Byrne turned up to his debut U.S. MHS show), is 'Hometown Tales: The Boy in the Bubble'(W&N), and his first book for children, 'The Humdrum Drum', with accompanying music were published in June 2018. In 2019, Colin signed with Mute Song, the publishing arms of Mute Records. This deal includes his newest music identity, FIELD STARS, an exciting electro art-pop sound. 2023will see the release of an
expansive 80-track ANTHOLOGY BOX SET with 36 Page Booklet in Februrary on the BBC's Demon Records, TITLED: 'ARCHAEOLOGY: COMPLETE RECORDINGS 2000-2004', plus SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY VINYL RE-ISSUES OF HIS FIRST THREE MHS ALBUMS. Additionally, Colin is a Lead Tutor on the BA Songwriting Degree at the BIMM Institute University, London, where he works with an international array of talented emerging talents on their Level 4 and Masters programmes, and is a visiting tutor at Scotland's National Writing Centre. He also hosts 'From Stage to Page', a music & storytelling show with fellow musician-"paperback writers". Colin has led the children's feeding charity Mary's Meals in London, and once spent a year with the Scottish professional football club, Queen's Park FC. He has performed at the major literary festivals, including Edinburgh Book Festival. Despite his absence of a working shield, Colin is a descendent of the Scottish Warrior Poet, Duncan Ban Macintyre.
The History — the longer story so far…
When Colin MacIntyre's debut Mull Historical Society single 'Barcode Bypass' (Rough Trade) was named NME's Debut Single of the Year in 2000, and then received its first daytime airplay (all 7 minutes of it) on Radio 1 on Jo Whiley's show, it was clear a truly original songwriting talent had emerged as if fully formed — and from the unlikely Atlantic outpost of the isle of Mull, in the Scottish Hebrides (pop 2,500 people, 28,234 sheep). Then came MacIntyre's Gold-selling seminal debut album, the self-produced 'Loss', widely hailed as one of the best British albums of that year, including making Q's top albums poll. It has since been voted in the top Scottish albums of all time. His acclaimed follow-up album, 'Us', landed in the Top 20, which included a follow-up song to 'Barcode Bypass', called 'The Supermarket Strikes Back', and the immense 'The Final Arrears' #19 single, dubbed 'exactly 3 minutes of pop perfection' by Mark Radcliffe. Once again MacIntyre also took on production duties.
MacIntyre/MHS has subsequently toured worldwide, including with The Strokes, Elbow and REM, being voted Scotland's Top Creative Talent at the Glenfiddich Spirit Of Scotland Awards and into the top Scottish artists of all time public poll by The List Magazine. He has performed at all the major festivals and has appeared live on Radio 1, 2, 4, 5Live, 6Music, MTV, XFM as well as many other stations across the globe, including many TV shows such as Later With Jools Holland, and The Jonathon Ross Show. His first MHS chart single 'Watching Xanadu' made STV's 'Scotland's Greatest Album' as one of the top 3 tracks of the 00's. This songwriting junkie has also collaborated with Irvine Welsh (who recently picked MHS debut 'Loss' among his favourite albums of all time) and Tony Benn on the track 'Pay Attention to the Human' (MacIntyre also appeared in the politician's famous Diaries series), as well as writing music for films such as 'Stormbreaker' and radio plays for BBC Radio 4. He says: 'As a Mulleach (native of Mull), that environment of space and remoteness is never far from me, but creatively, living among the masses has made its mark too. Before that I had to build my own cities in my bedroom. Not easy getting that planning permission.'
Colin taught himself to play by watching his uncle's covers band, going on to make his debut performance in the Tobermory town hall with microphones attached to broomsticks. He wrote his first song when he was seven and there have been hundreds that have followed, recording prolifically through his teens. His music took off while he was studying at University in Glasgow, and training part-time (very part-time) for Scottish professional football outfit, Queen's Park, at the legendary Hampden Park. By then, his identity of Mull Historical Society, stolen from his island's local heritage organisation, was in place and the rest is, well, history. 'It felt to me like taking a new identity, one I could explore and get my teeth into, inspired by Orwell's 1984 mixed with Bowie's Ziggy Stardust or something, it just felt real and inspiring.' (The 'real' MHS have since changed their name to Mull Historical & Archaeological Society, later to reappear in fictional form in MacIntyre's debut novel).
2004 saw 'This Is Hope', recorded at the legendary Bearsville Studios in Woodstock, upstate New York. MacIntyre stayed in the same barn as used by Bob Dylan and The Band (Janis Joplin's mini was still parked in the garage). It spawned the Top 40 single 'How 'Bout I Love You More'. MacIntyre also traveled across America's deep south for inspiration, making a stop in New Orleans to record a gospel choir for the closing track, 'In The Next Life (A Requiem)', which also features his grandmother on vocals. MacIntyre has also released two albums under his own name: 'The Water' (2008), produced by Lemon Jelly's Nick Franglen, on his own label Future Gods Recordings, with The Guardian hailing it 'Pop perfection'. In 2009 Colin released his most stripped-back album to date, 'Island', recorded in his old school classroom. It was known to be played on none other than Beach Boy Brian Wilson's tour bus.
His 2012 Mull Historical Society album, 'City Awakenings', was released on Xtra Mile Recordings. Produced by the Grammy-winning Dom Morley (Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Grinderman), it is his tribute to Glasgow, London and New York – the 3 cities that have most influenced this islander abroad. MacIntyre co-produced the closing track 'Thameslink (London's Burning)', which he first performed at his father's funeral, Kenny Macintyre, the widely respected BBC Political & Industrial Correspondent, (Colin's father's death inspired 'Loss'). Colin's father having once carried aloft a Fender '78 Telecaster home to his teenage son on the island on a trip back from the mainland, wading ashore with the guitar held aloft after the ferry had failed to dock. There were live sessions (with said guitar!) on Radio 2 with Jo Whiley & Bob Harris, as well as on 6Music, BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Ulster, XFM, Radio Clyde and more. After a summer of Festival appearances including V, T in the Park, Eden Sessions, & the Scottish Parliament with Annie Lennox – and returns to Europe with shows in Berlin and Blue Balls, Lucerne – came his first Xmas Single, 'Christmas Is Here Again'.
2015 saw MacIntyre release a Best Of album to mark 15 years of MHS, and sign an exclusive music publishing deal with BMG/Xtra Mile Music in a landmark deal which includes new MHS albums and his entire back catalogue, as well as his new electro pop project (more below). Music Week announcement of Colin's BMG publishing deal. His Best Of Collection came out on Xtra Mile Recordings. It marked 15 years since that debut MHS single and was fronted by the new single 'Keep Falling', a soaring new Mull track which was also produced by Morley. It came out in an exclusive colour double-Vinyl on Record Store Day. And MacIntyre then launched the single and Best-Of collection with a sold-out UK tour: the tour featured for the first time a full live performance of debut MHS album 'Loss' in its entirety. MacIntyre has come a long way from Mull, the island, but somehow never leaves it behind. He also actively supports the work of the Argyll-based charity Mary's Meals, who feed over 1 Million children a daily meal in their place of education every day: "My visit to some of the Mar's Meals projects in Malawi was life-changing. Music broke down the barriers and I realised that community is at the heart of all my work."
And so to 2016 – and MacIntyre completed his new MHS album 'Dear Satellite' with the Grammy-winning (and Blue Peter badge-winning) producer Dom Morley at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, London. It was released on April 8th 2016 (his birthday) on Xtra Mile Recordings/BMG. Mull Historical Society are touring in June. He says: 'I couldn't be happier with the album. It is 10 songs, 36 minutes, and it feels like a perfect distillation of what I can do. It is about home, getting home, leaving home, finding home, whatever planet or street or field you live on. Whatever home means to you. I'm so excited to see it enter the world. It looks bloody good too!'
The paperback of his debut novel was published a week later in April 2016. And, to tie both identities nicely together, a new Mull track 'The Ballad of Ivor Punch', is the first single off 'Dear Satellite'.
June 2018: 'The Humdrum Drum' — Colin's first children's picture book is published by Little Door Books. It is about an orchestra drum and has been beautifully illustrated by Catherine Thomas. It also features an accompanying CD of specially written songs and Colin reading the audiobook. More info:
The Humdrum Drum is Colin's first book for children and features an accompanying CD with specially written original songs and an audiobook.Meet 'Drum', the orchestra drum who is feeling very humdrum. When Drum is feeling unhappy he stops playing and the entire orchestra comes to an embarrassing halt. But with the help of his friends – a cast of colourful instruments, as well as ironing mice and shaving pigeons – Drum realises that without him keeping the beat, they lose their way and that they need him to save the day!
June 2018: Colin's memoir about growing up on the isle of Mull 'The Boy in the Bubble' is now published by W&N /ORION BOOKS as part of their 'HOMETOWN TALES' series, celebrating regional voices. It is a bright, intensely funny and deeply felt memoir about growing up on the Isle of Mull from multiple award-winning musician (Mull Historical Society) and author of The Letters of Ivor Punch, Colin MacIntyre. It is a moving and fascinating exploration of what 'home' really means, charting his journey from island boy to internationally acclaimed musician. It will be in available in book shops and online from 28th June 2018. Pre-order.
From 2012-2014 Colin also ran the charity 'Mary's Meals' in London, it is a volunteer-led movement which provides children with a daily meal in their place of education in some of the world's poorest communities for just £13.90 a year. Mary's Meals is based in (an extended) shed in the Scottish West Highlands and currently feeds over 1.2 million children every day. Colin continues to support the work of the charity.
There is also Colin's new electro art-pop project… FIELD STARS (formerly INK), that has been the Guardian's New band of the Week, proclaiming: 'perfect without being too box-ticking…going to be massive'. 2016 promises to be an exciting year of stars aligning for Mull's History man who can't stop creating.

"A young girl...having a Spirit of [the demon] Python...having followed Paul ... was crying [to the public many days], saying, 'These men...declare to us a way of salvation.'" Acts 16:16-17
What Did Jesus Mean in Matthew 15 and Mark 7?
The Corban Supplanted God's Law
In Matthew 15:6, Jesus says the Pharisees teach a Corban / Korban payment allowed a son to say to his parents 'with what I may have profited to you has been given to the Temple.' What did Jesus mean?
Jesus said this oral teaching by the Pharisees violated the written command to 'honor' one's parents. Jesus meant that the Law commanded the duty to not allow one's parents to slip into poverty (where this exists we will discuss momentarily), and the Pharisees supplanted this Law by excusing a son from such a duty if he promised to give his money to the Temple instead, i.e., as a corban / korban (offering).
The Law's command to honor one's mother and father -- one of the ten commandments -- was always interpreted to require support of one's parent if they fell into poverty. See Thomas F. McDaniel, Ph.D., New Testament Aramaic Names and Words and Shem Tob's Hebrew Gospel of Matthew (2008) at 25. For a direct link, see: http://tmcdaniel.palmerseminary.edu/Volume4_ShemTob+.pdf
Hence, the Pharisees were teaching that you could avoid having to support your parents if they fell into poverty as long as you gave money to the temple. Obviously, they were negating the law to their own advantage, as they were likely authorized to take 10% from the monies given to the temple, as was the law as to the Levites when they collected the tithe.
For a first century stone with the Hebrew letters "KRBN" - meaning "korban," see this link from bible-history.com.
See also "Korban," Wikipedia.
In the case of Mark 7:11, Jesus addressed the case where a man says to his parents that the financial support, which he should be giving them as a demonstration of his honoring them as required in the Torah, has instead been declared by him to be a Korban / Corban. Once the vow was made the man had a religious basis for denying his parents the kind of financial support they needed. The religious authorities place greater authority in the proclaimed Corban than in the commandment to honor one's parents. The reason for this prioritizing of the Corban above the Torah was obvious: the man's financial benefits covered by the Corban were given to the temple for use by the religious authorities, rather than to the man's parents.

How can I start the menu dialog in welcome?

A: Yes, you can start the specific(menu/any) dialog from welcome code.
The key thing is here not to use conversationUpdate from your bot code, but rather submit an event activity from the client, and add some code to handle the event to your bot code.
To add an activity in the form of event handler, refer how to send a greeting message and common issues

There is another solution which would be to store a map of user-id and session and then use seesion.send to send a dialog to the corresponding user. Using conversationUpdate is likely your best bet in most situations.
Demo Welcome code:
bot.on('conversationUpdate', function(message) {
  if (message.membersAdded) {
    message.membersAdded.forEach(function(identity) {
      if (identity.id === message.address.bot.id) {
        var reply = new builder.Message()
          .address(message.address)
          .text("Welcome");
        bot.send(reply);
      }
    });
  }
});

To call the specific dialog, do this:
bot.on('conversationUpdate', function (message) {
  if (message.membersAdded) {
    message.membersAdded.forEach(function (identity) {
      if (identity.id === message.address.bot.id) {
        bot.beginDialog(message.address, '/main');
      }
    });
  }
});

bot.dialog('/main', [
  function (session, args, next) {
    session.send("Glad you could join.");
    session.beginDialog('/next');
  }
]);

The above code is combination of welcome message and starting up a dialog.

This 19th Century farm complex in the middle of Dartmoor National Park was in much need of repair and refurbishment. The brief for the architect was to create a new large family home, combining the farmhouse and attached barn with a contemporary glass link. The result is a daylight living space that adapts to a range of uses and family activities.
The glass walls are 3.8 metres high and the sliding doors are over 2 metres wide, with a sight line of only 19mm.
The high performance glass walls keep out a large proportion of the heat from the sun and are extremely well insulated for such large panels.
The architectural simplicity of the glass link enhances the local building materials and creates an essential connection with the landscape.
The design was well received by Dartmoor National Park as both a sympathetic and progressive design solution and a means to bring life back to an historic building.


Channing Tatum is still playing "Gambit" after all! He just closed the deal with 20th Century Fox to star in the X-Men spinoff according to Variety.
Fans had a mixed reaction when news broke that Channing Tatum was exiting the project. Looks like those who were happy about that news are going to be sad again.
"Gambit" is scheduled for an October 2016 release.
Tatum will also be a producer on the movie. He appeared in the X-Men panel at Comic-Con.


Like marital partners, business partners can have irreconcilable differences that require their separation. Business divorce is an area of the law that assists clients in the splitting of assets of the company or the business itself. Business divorce involves separating the conflicting owners and concluding the dispute-usually through negotiation, agreement, or if necessary, litigation.

Prague taxi driver, Photo: CTK
Today's Mailbox includes Topics: What happens to stamps on listeners' letters? Listening conditions in South Asia. World soccer championship. Over-charging by Prague taxi drivers. Radio Prague listeners' competition- last week! Listeners mentioned and quoted: Mick Horsfield, Franz Schwartz Jr, Swopan Chakroborty, Yos Suwarto, Will Steer, Sue Kempf
Welcome to Mailbox, which, some listeners say, is one of the most interesting programs on Radio Prague. For example Mick Horsfield of Manchester, England, writes:
"Mailbox is one of my favorites. I like to hear about views from other listeners."
Yes, Mailbox is the program listeners help prepare by writing us about their impressions of Radio Prague and by asking us about life in the Czech Republic.
And we do hear from listeners from all over the world. Many contact us by e-mail, but we still receive many, very many letters. Which brings me to a question from Franz Schwartz Jr of Wilmington, NC, USA who writes that he collects stamps, especially old Czechoslovak stamps and now Czech and Slovak ones. But they have to be cancelled, i.e. stamped. And in that connection he asks
"Does anyone in the English or other language departments at Radio Prague collect postage stamps? What happens to the stamps that are on Radio Prague's incoming mail?"
Well, nobody in the English department collects stamps, and as far as I know, nobody in any other of the departments does, either. So, what happens to all those stamps on listeners' letters? The secretaries cut them out carefully and send them to listeners who write that they collect stamps and are interested in exchanging them. Of course, these are foreign stamps from listeners around the world, we don't get that many letters from within the Czech Republic. But whenever a listeners asks, we put stamps on the envelopes we send them.
Anyway, that's one of the services we provide.
Talking of services, we do, above all, try to make sure reception conditions are as good as possible. We had our short wave expert, Olda Cip in Mailbox two weeks ago, to answer questions about reception conditions, but it seems that he did not satisfy at least one of our listeners, Swopan Chakroborty of Kalkota, India
"Your short wave expert and Chairman of HFCC said that Radio Prague's English transmission at 1300 UTC on 21745 kHz is not being disturbed by Deutsche Welle's Hausa programme directed towards Africa. I am not one with him. I regularly try to log RP on this channel. But here also Deutsche Welle is very strong on the same channel at the same time. Nothing is audible from Radio Prague. We miss Radio Prague on the shortwave very much."
Well, I'm sorry to hear that, but as we keep repeating, do try to find a different frequency on which to listen to our programs. Radio Prague's schedule gives a number of wavelengths you can experiment with. Yos Suwarto in Semarang, Indonesia is one of many listeners, who do just that:
"Reception of your programs isn't always good, but the transmission at 2000 hours UTC on 11600 Khz is very good."
And as for the 21745 KHz transmission, Olda Cip did say Radio Prague was negotiating about making changes there.
But even there reception can't be all that bad, because Swopan Chakroborty does send reception reports quite frequently, so he must hear our programs. In fact, in his last letter he writes that he'd like his question answered in Mailbox, so he must be able to hear it.
And the question?
It's about football and the fact that the Czech Republic is not represented in the World Cup in Japan and Korea.
"As I know soccer is very popular in the Czech republic. At present the greatest show on earth, the World Cup is being held. I wonder how Czechs feel about it. Are they interested in this event? Please let me know via Sunday's Mailbox programme."
I'll ask Ian Willoughby, who deals with sports in our programs to answer that question. Ian?
Yes, Olga, I'd say there is quite a bit of interest in the World Cup here, but like anywhere else in Europe, the games are in the morning or at lunch time, so people aren't watching the games in bars so much. And that means there is a bit less excitement and there is not as much of the usual World Cup atmosphere. The Czechs, of course, aren't in the World Cup this year and they haven't been to a finals since 1990. Then, as Czechoslovakia they were knocked out in the quarter finals by West Germany, who went on to win the competition. The Czechs have never won the World Cup. They played in the finals twice, they scored first both times and they lost both times. In 1934 Czechoslovakia were beaten by Italy and then in 1962 they lost to Brazil.
And tens of thousands of Czechs showed up to welcome them back home.
Well, we may not be represented in the World Championship this time, but our under 21 football team won the European Championship - for the first time ever - not so long ago, and a number of listeners have written to congratulate, including Will Steer who writes, as he says, "on behalf of the UK":
"Congratulations to the team from the UK for winning the championship; and for beating the French! Well done."
Thanks, Will, if not on behalf of the Czech Republic, certainly on behalf of all of us here, at Radio Prague.
And I'll just add that Ian did report on the under 21 championship in our programs and in case you missed those reports, you can find them on Radio Prague's web-site - www.radio.cz/english.
Another topic we have been dealing with and listeners can find on our web-site is the problem of the Czech capital's taxi service. Sue Kempf is one of many who complain about it.
"Where can I read more about the regulation of taxis? That part of visiting Prague is always a nightmare no matter how careful one tries to be. It would be nice if that weren't the case."
It certainly would. As to where you can read more about the issue, Dita, you commented on it in our program on May 28th, and the text can be found on Radio Prague's web-site.
It's not the only time we dealt with the problem, because at long last Prague's City Hall has launched a systematic campaign to do away with over-charging by some of Prague's taxi drivers. They are sending out inspectors who pose as foreign visitors to Prague and check the rates they are charged with the rates that should be charged. And in some cases the difference is enormous, like one driver who charged 600 crowns instead of the 120 he was entitled to. But, we really do deal with the problem in our programs, so more information there.
Come to think of it, nobody has mentioned over-charging by taxi drivers in their entries to Radio Prague's competition, in which listeners answer the question What comes to my mind when I hear the word Prague.
But for all we know, somebody still may write about it - listeners do have one more week to send their entries and try to win the main prize - a one week visit to Prague, or one of the numerous runner-up prizes.
One more week before the deadline to our competition. So, anybody who still wants to try, has high time to send his or her entry.
The address, if you send a letter, is Radio Prague, 120 99, Prague 2, Czech Republic, or if you prefer e-mail: english@radio.cz.
And, as always, this is Olga Szantova and Dita Asiedu looking forward to hearing from you again.

West Kootenay/Boundary candidate numbers up slightly over 2011
Did the change in term length from three years to four for civic officials affect the number of candidates willing to run in our area?
Did the change in term length from three years to four for civic officials affect the number of candidates willing to commit themselves to public office in West Kootenay/Boundary?
The short answer is not really. Although more candidates are seeking positions on municipal councils and fewer on regional districts and school boards compared to 2011, the overall numbers are quite close, showing an increase of about 3.6 per cent.
In 2011, 223 candidates ran for the 136 available positions as mayors, councillors, directors, and school trustees in West Kootenay/Boundary's 16 municipalities, two regional districts, and four school districts.
This time, 231 candidates are seeking those same positions, which break down as follows: 38 for mayor (versus 30 in 2011), 127 for councillor (compared to 114 three years ago), 26 for regional director (32 last time), and 40 for school trustee (down from 47).
Grand Forks produced the greatest number of candidates in both 2011 and 2014: three years ago three people ran for mayor and 12 for council; this time there are five for mayor and 16 for council. Additionally, four people are running for two school trustee positions, and three are running for regional director of rural Grand Forks.
The greatest increase in candidates was in Salmo, where in 2011 the mayor and council were elected by acclamation. This time there are three candidates for mayor and 12 for council, representing a net gain of 10 candidates.
The quietest race this time was in New Denver, where the entire council was elected unopposed, representing a decrease of three candidates from 2011. Midway experienced a similar drop, although it will still have a vote for council.
On the regional district side, 17 candidates are running in Central Kootenay compared to 21 in 2011, and nine in Kootenay Boundary, versus 11 three years ago.
The number of school trustee candidates was virtually unchanged in three of four districts. The exception is Kootenay Lake, where there are five fewer this time.

An online internet hosting support is really a sort of World wide web internet hosting company that enables persons and organizations to produce their web site obtainable by means of the planet Huge World-wide-web.
Website hosts are companies that present area on the server owned or leased for use by customers, in addition as giving World wide web connectivity, usually in the facts heart. World-wide-web hosts might also give info center place and connectivity to the Online for other servers situated inside their knowledge middle, named colocation, often called Housing in Latin The us or France.
The internet hosting provider need to involve process administration as it is shared by lots of buyers; that is a benefit for customers who do not desire to manage it, but a hindrance to electrical power buyers who want a lot more management. Normally shared internet hosting are going to be inappropriate for users who call for in depth software package improvement outside what the hosting service provider supports.
Nearly all purposes intended to be on a typical website server function good which has a shared net internet hosting assistance. But on the other hand, shared internet hosting is more affordable than other sorts of internet hosting such as devoted server internet hosting.
Shared hosting usually has usage limitations and web hosting providers ought to have considerable trustworthiness functions in place. Shared internet hosting expert services generally offer fundamental web statistics aid, electronic mail and internet mail products and services, vehicle script installations, up-to-date PHP and MySQL, simple after-sale specialized assistance which is involved having a month to month subscription. What's more, it ordinarily takes advantage of a web-based control panel method, like cPanel, DirectAdmin, Plesk, InterWorx, H-Sphere or one particular of numerous other user interface solutions.
Most of the substantial internet hosting corporations use their own customized made control panel. Handle panels and website interfaces can cause controversy nonetheless, since net internet hosting firms in some cases provide the best to work with their control panel method to many others.
Seeking to recreate the functionality of a certain user interface is widespread, which leads to several lawsuits around patent infringement.
The scope of web web hosting expert services may differ drastically. Quite possibly the most primary is world wide web webpage and small-scale file internet hosting, where by documents could be uploaded via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or even a World wide web interface.
The data files are usually sent into the World wide web "as is" or with minimum processing. Lots of World-wide-web service companies (ISPs) give this support cost-free to subscribers. Individuals and businesses may also acquire Website website page internet hosting from alternative provider vendors.
Private world-wide-web web page internet hosting is typically cost-free, advertisement-sponsored, or low-cost. Company website web-site web hosting frequently includes a higher expenditure depending upon the scale and sort from the site.
In shared hosting, the company is mostly accountable for running servers, installing server software program, safety updates, complex support, and various components of the assistance. Most servers are depending on the Linux working procedure and LAMP (software bundle), which can be driven through the dependability and security of open up source software including Linux and Apache (the 'L' and 'A' of LAMP).
You will find thousands of shared web hosting suppliers from the U . s . by yourself. They range from mom-and-pop retailers and smaller design corporations to multi-million-dollar providers with numerous countless numbers of customers. A significant portion with the shared world wide web hosting current market is pushed via fork out for every click on (PPC) promoting or Affiliate packages when some are purely non-profit.
One website page hosting is generally enough for private web pages. A fancy internet site calls for a extra thorough bundle that gives databases assistance and software improvement platforms (e.g. PHP, Java, Ruby on Rails, ColdFusion, or ASP.Web). These facilities allow for consumers to put in writing or install scripts for apps like discussion boards and written content administration. Also, Protected Sockets Layer (SSL) is usually useful for e-commerce.
Shared web internet hosting may also be finished privately by sharing the cost of operating a server within a colocation centre; this really is termed cooperative internet hosting.
The host might also supply an interface or user interface for managing the world wide web server and installing scripts, also as other modules and service apps like e-mail. Some hosts concentrate on specified software package or solutions (e.g. e-commerce), which are commonly employed by much larger companies that outsource community infrastructure.
Shared world wide web internet hosting is usually completed in two means: name-based and IP-based, even though some control panels allow for a mixture of name-based and IP-based on the one server.
The provision of a web-site is calculated by the percentage of a year where the web site is publicly accessible and reachable by means of the net. This is often distinct from measuring the uptime of the procedure. Uptime refers back to the method by itself getting on the web.
Uptime would not keep in mind with the ability to achieve it as while in the function of the network outage. A hosting provider's SLAs may perhaps include things like a certain number of scheduled downtime each year to be able to accomplish maintenance to the programs.
This scheduled downtime is often excluded through the SLA timeframe, and needs being subtracted with the Complete Time when availability is calculated. Based to the wording of the SLA, should the availability of a system drops underneath that from the signed SLA, a internet hosting supplier often will offer a partial refund for time shed.
How downtime is set variations from service provider to company, consequently studying the SLA is critical. Not all vendors launch uptime stats.
In IP-based virtual web hosting, also referred to as dedicated IP web hosting, every virtual host includes a unique IP handle. The internet server is configured with various bodily network interfaces, or digital network interfaces around the exact bodily interface.
The online server application utilizes the IP address the client connects to if you want to determine which world-wide-web web-site to indicate the consumer. The difficulty of IPv4 deal with exhaustion signifies that IP addresses are an significantly scarce resource, so the most important justification for the site to make use of a devoted IP is always to find a way to use its have SSL certificate alternatively than a shared certificate.
Online hosting expert services can operate Web servers.
Lots of substantial firms that are not world wide web services providers really need to be forever connected to the web to send e mail, information, and so on. to other internet sites. The organization may perhaps make use of the laptop or computer for a web-site host to supply particulars in their merchandise and companies and amenities for on line orders.
Absolutely free world wide web hosting company: supplied by various firms with restricted services, at times supported by commercials, and sometimes constrained compared to compensated internet hosting.
Shared net web hosting support: one's website is put on exactly the same server as a lot of other sites, starting from a number of to hundreds or countless numbers. Generally, all domains may well share a standard pool of server means, which include RAM as well as CPU.
The attributes accessible using this type of company could be pretty basic instead of flexible regarding program and updates. Resellers generally provide shared web internet hosting and world-wide-web businesses usually have reseller accounts to offer internet hosting for clientele.
Reseller world-wide-web web hosting: permits purchasers to become web hosts themselves. Resellers could purpose, for unique domains, under any blend of these stated kinds of hosting, dependent on who they are really affiliated with as a reseller. Resellers' accounts may perhaps differ greatly in sizing: they may have their own personal digital focused server to the colocated server.
Numerous resellers present a virtually equivalent assistance for their provider's shared internet hosting system and supply the complex help by themselves.
Virtual Dedicated Server: generally known as a Virtual Non-public Server (VPS), divides server methods into digital servers, where sources might be allocated in a very way that does not instantly replicate the fundamental components. VPS will normally be allotted assets determined by a a person server to several VPSs romance, nonetheless virtualisation can be performed for the quantity of explanations, such as the flexibility to move a VPS container among servers.
The users might have root access to their own individual virtual area. Consumers are occasionally accountable for patching and keeping the server.

The consumer is disallowed comprehensive manage to make sure that the supplier can assurance top quality of service by not permitting the person to modify the server or probably create configuration issues. The consumer generally would not individual the server.
The server is leased towards the client.
Colocation internet internet hosting services: much like the dedicated web internet hosting services, although the consumer owns the colo server; the hosting organization delivers physical place that the server takes up and takes care on the server. This is actually the most powerful and expensive type of net web hosting support.
Typically, the colocation company may possibly deliver small to no guidance straight for their client's device, giving just the electrical, Internet access, and storage amenities for your server. Typically for colo, the client would've his individual administrator visit the data centre on website to accomplish any hardware updates or changes.
Previously, a lot of colocation vendors would accept any process configuration for internet hosting, even types housed in desktop-style minitower instances, but most hosts now require rack mount enclosures and common process configurations.
Cloud internet hosting: is actually a new sort of web hosting system that enables prospects strong, scalable and dependable web hosting dependant on clustered load-balanced servers and utility billing. A cloud hosted site may be a lot more responsible than solutions because other computers in the cloud can compensate every time a one piece of hardware goes down. Also, regional energy disruptions or even normal disasters are fewer problematic for cloud hosted websites, as cloud internet hosting is decentralized.
Cloud internet hosting also permits providers to demand customers only for assets consumed because of the consumer, fairly than a flat price for that quantity the person expects they can use, or even a preset charge upfront components expense. Alternatively, the dearth of centralization may well give customers significantly less regulate on exactly where their facts is situated which may very well be a challenge for customers with knowledge safety or privateness fears.
Clustered internet hosting: possessing many servers internet hosting the exact same content for superior useful resource utilization. Clustered Servers undoubtedly are a best option for high-availability devoted internet hosting, or creating a scalable net web hosting answer.
A cluster might separate world-wide-web serving from database internet hosting functionality. (Typically Web hosts use Clustered Internet hosting for their Shared hosting designs, as you'll find several rewards on the mass handling of clients).
Grid web hosting: this form of dispersed hosting is when a server cluster acts similar to a grid and is also made up of multiple nodes.
Household server: typically only one machine positioned inside a personal home might be accustomed to host 1 or even more sites from the generally consumer-grade broadband link. These might be purpose-built machines or even more commonly old PCs. Some ISPs actively make an effort to block dwelling servers by disallowing incoming requests to TCP port 80 of your user's connection and by refusing to provide static IP addresses.
A standard strategy to achieve a trusted DNS host identify is by creating an account by using a dynamic DNS assistance. A dynamic DNS support will instantly alter the IP handle that a URL details to when the IP handle improvements.
In name-based digital web hosting, also called shared IP internet hosting, the digital hosts provide numerous host names on a solitary device that has a solitary IP deal with. This is probable for the reason that whenever a world-wide-web browser requests a source from the website server utilizing HTTP/1.one it incorporates the requested host identify as part with the request.
The server takes advantage of this data to find out which world-wide-web website to show the person.
DNS stands for "Domain Name Process." The area title procedure acts like a large telephone listing and in that it is the learn databases, which associates a website title for example www.wikipedia.org with the appropriate IP number. Take into account the IP quantity anything just like a cellular phone amount: When another person calls www.wikipedia.org, the ISP appears to be on the DNS server, and asks "how do I make contact with www.wikipedia.org?" The DNS server responds, one example is, "it can be uncovered at: 216.198.221.66.".
Since the Net understands it, this may be deemed the phone amount with the server, which residences the online internet site. In the event the domain identify is registered/purchased with a individual registrar's "name server", the DNS settings are held on their server, as well as in most cases place the area into the Identify Server within your internet hosting service provider.
This Name Server is in which the IP amount (at present linked along with your area name) resides.
World-wide-web internet hosting is usually furnished as element of a typical Net access strategy from internet company suppliers. You will discover also numerous no cost and paid companies offering net hosting.
A consumer wants to guage the necessities in the software to pick what type of internet hosting to work with. This kind of considerations involve databases server program, scripting software, and working program. Most hosting vendors give Linux-based internet internet hosting which offers a huge range of various software program.
A standard configuration for just a Linux server may be the LAMP system: Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP/Perl/Python. The web internet hosting shopper may perhaps wish to produce other providers, for instance e-mail for his or her company domain, databases or multimedia expert services.
A purchaser could also choose Home windows given that the hosting platform. The shopper nonetheless can pick from PHP, Perl, and Python but might also use ASP .Web or Vintage ASP. Web web hosting packages typically include a web Content Management Procedure, so the end-user doesn't have to bother with the greater complex factors.
They can not perform with really outdated HTTP/1.0 browsers that do not deliver the hostname as element of requests. Since the "Host" header is necessary in HTTP/1.one, which was issued in 1999 as RFC 2616, this can be not a typical issue.
By default, they do not correctly help secure web-sites working with HTTPS. All name-based digital hosts utilizing the exact same IP address need to share the same electronic certificate as the SSL/TLS handshake requires area in advance of the hostname is shipped to your server.
Although there are alternatives to this which include Server Identify Indication, it's not at all nevertheless broadly applied.
When the Domain Name Technique is malfunctioning, or DNS adjustments haven't propagated to all ISPs' resolvers, it's not at all doable to fall back again to utilizing the IP handle to call the process. Some website web hosting providers may offer different URLs to offer obtain in such instances.
If file permissions are actually improperly configured, then shared file devices may possibly give other (compromised) consumers or procedures system-wide access to these data files.

Fentanyl abuse pushes Health Canada to act on overdose drug naloxone
January 16, 2016 by Jayson MacLean
First approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1971, naloxone is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medications.
Health Canada has issued a statement proposing a change to make the drug naloxone more widely available. Naloxone is widely known as the antidote to opiod overdose, used to reverse the effects of drugs such as heroin and fentanyl.
Currently, naloxone and naloxone kits are available by prescription and are commonly used by health agencies, community groups and first responders across the country.
But the growing problem of fentanyl abuse has caused many health care advocates to push for greater access to naloxone.
"Health Canada's goal in considering whether to change the prescription status of any drug is to determine whether it can be used safely outside the direct supervision of a health-care practitioner," reads the statement.
In the name of expediency, the department plans to waive the standard six-month implementation period and will be engaging in public consultation on the issue until March 19th.
Naloxone has long been used to combat drug overdose. First approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1971, it is also on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medications.
But over the past few years, naloxone has become increasingly valuable to health care professionals as the use and abuse of opiods – both in prescription and street form – has skyrocketed.
Fentanyl has become particularly deadly. According to the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, between 2009 and 2014 there were at least 655 deaths in Canada in which fentanyl was either the cause or a contributing cause. The misuse of the drug is occurring both through diversion of prescribed fentanyl as well as through illicit production of the drug. Fentanyl is known to be up to 100 more powerful than other opiods.
The move to broaden access to naloxone is being praised by health advocates. David Saunders is staff physician at Halifax's Direction 180, a methadone clinic. In an interview with the CBC, Dr. Saunders says, "Families are excited about the possibility that they might have something in their home that might contribute a little bit to being able to help their loved one. Over the last three or four years there have been multiple cases of people who have died at home or close to home with family members. Other than calling 911 and trying to access help, [they] have their hands tied. There's nothing they can do."
Fentanyl abuse has been on the rise due to the tightening of availability of oxycodone and other prescription opiods, which themselves became endemic over the past two decades, purportedly in response to calls by interest groups to give doctors more weapons to treat and manage patients' pain. In 1999, for example, the US Veterans Health Administration campaigned around the slogan that pain should be adopted as the "fifth vital sign", requiring that doctors assess pain during every consultation, paving the way for prescription – and overprescription – of opiods by general practitioners.
Naloxone is available to be administered by injection, but recently health providers have been pushing for the availability naloxone as a nasal spray.

"TMD" (short for Temporomandibular Dysfunction), is a term that is used to describe a very painful condition that is commonly referred to as, "TMJ." Temporomandibular Joint Disorders affect a large number of people in the United States. This condition is characterized by pain and dysfunction in the jaw and attaching musculature. Patients frequently have pain with chewing and attempting to eat, with varying severities.
Fortunately, we have had the pleasure of working with some very forward-thinking medical professionals, to include medical doctors, dentists and orthodontists; who recognize that conservative treatment makes good sense and is almost always the best first step for these patients, when appropriate. We adore the physicians that we have a relationship with and feel it our honor to point patients in their direction, if they do not have such a doctor as part of their healthcare team.
As chiropractors, which have as our focus, Neuro-Structural Correction, when working with a patient with Temporomandibular Disorders, we first need to identify the mechanical and neurological basis for performing Neuro-Structural Correction. A thorough and detailed evaluation of each patient is performed in order to determine if, conservative treatment, in the way of Neuro-Structural Correction is appropriate.
Once all of this information has been determined, a customized plan of care is designed for the patient. The treatment protocol is designed in such a way to systematically address each facet of, what we see, to be the factors specific each patient, in addition to the restoration of joint kinematics. We have seen wonderful results with our patients with TMD and we find working with these patients to be richly rewarding.
If you or someone that you know is suffering with TMJ, we encourage you to take advantage of our Complimentary Consultation. It is absolutely free of charge and there is never any pressure, sales tactics or commitment. It is solely designed as an informal information gathering session, a conversation, where we learn a little bit about you and you learn a little bit about us.

Graduation from LDC: Bangladesh to face tougher export challenges
Ibrahim Hossain Ovi
Published at 01:31 am March 22nd, 2018
Bangladesh's export sector will face tougher competition in the global market after losing duty-free market access and preferential trade benefits when it graduates from LDC status and officially joins the ranks of developing countries. The Committee for Development Policy, a UN panel, on March 16 announced Bangladesh's eligibility for the developing country category as it has met the three prerequisite criteria in terms of National Income per Capita, Human Assets Index, and Economic Vulnerability Index. But the country will have to pass two more reviews in 2021 and 2024 to get rid of the Least Developed Country (LDC) tag. Upon its promotion, Bangladesh will get three more years' grace period after which it will lose the trade facilities it enjoys as an LDC.
Tougher challenges
As an LDC, Bangladesh enjoys duty-free access to the European Union and some other countries. However, once a developing nation, it will not be eligible for duty- and quota-free facilities and preferential market access. After graduation, Bangladeshi exporters will have to pay an additional 6.7% tariff, making competition against rivals, some of whom enjoy benefits under EU GSP Plus and preferential trade agreements, tougher. Probable new tariffs for EU, non-EU, and Canada are 8.7%, 3.9%, and 7.3%, respectively. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development estimated that Bangladesh may face an export decline between 5.5% and 7.5%. "Unless Bangladesh manages to renegotiate through bilateral agreements or as part of regional trade arrangements, it will face MFN (most favoured nation) tariff rates following the LDC graduation or reduced preferential margins under standard GSP scheme in EU market," said Mustafizur Rahman, distinguished fellow of Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD). Preference erosion will likely have adverse implications for export competitiveness, and export earnings and consequently, for GDP, balance of payments, employment and poverty alleviation, the economist added. Once Bangladesh loses duty-free market access, it will leave the country with different challenges regarding the tariff, Mustafiz warned. He said Bangladesh would have to explore windows of opportunities through smart negotiations and engage proactively with international organizations for preferential treatment.
Ways forward
Bangladesh can overcome the challenges. New trade agreements and diversification of products and market can be one of the solutions. "Bangladesh needs to renew efforts towards the supply-side capacity building, increasing export competitiveness and ensuring product and market diversification and reducing production costs to compensate for preference erosion and phasing out of international support," said Mustafiz. These efforts include adequate investment, trade facilitation measures, and attraction of significant foreign investment. These will help Bangladesh to strengthen its market access and raise competitiveness in the global market, the economist said. During the run-up to the LDC graduation, Bangladesh will need to do its best to take the maximum advantage of the preferences it is currently enjoying, he added. "Since Bangladesh's export earnings are highly dominated by the RMG sector, focus should be given on intra-RMG diversification as well as on quality and value-added products," former caretaker government adviser ABM Azizul Islam told the Dhaka Tribune. In terms of availing regional trade benefits, Bangladesh should remain engaged in the process of regional trade agreements, so that graduation does not hurt export earnings. Mustafiz also suggested taking advantage of the increasing south-south trade opportunities, particularly in the regional markets of India and China, through targeted product diversification and by attracting foreign investment. He suggested exploring how Bangladesh could take advantage of non-LDC specific preferential arrangements such as the various GSP schemes for developing countries. "The next six years will be very crucial in terms of workers' skill development, productivity enhancement, and product diversification for Bangladeshi exporters as graduation will erode trade benefits," BGMEA Senior Vice-President Faruque Hassan told the Dhaka Tribune. He hoped the country would be able to meet the requirement to continue preferential trade facilities as manufacturers are upgrading machinery and introducing latest technology. Manufacturers also invest in research and innovation. "What the export sector needs is infrastructure and uninterrupted supply of gas and electricity," he added. However, industry insiders and trade analysts emphasize upgrading technology, skill training, and going beyond the RMG sector by bringing the emerging sector into the spotlight. "Since the production costs have gone up due to improved wages and safety improvement, manufacturers have to increase productivity through skills training and enhancement," Exporters Association of Bangladesh President Abdus Salam Murshedy told the Dhaka Tribune. When it comes to manufacturing high-value and quality products, introducing the latest technologies is necessary as it will help to reduce production cost as well as improve the quality, Salam said. "Overcoming the single-product dependency, we should also focus on emerging industries such as the ICT, pharmaceuticals, electronics, furniture and light engineering," he added.
EU GSP Plus: A ray of a hope for Bangladesh
The EU market is very important for Bangladesh as nearly 56% of its $34.65 billion export earnings ($19.35 billion) comes from there. Bangladesh enjoys duty-free market access under the Everything But Arms agreement. Preferential trade benefits erosion is crucial for Bangladesh, but the country can enjoy trade benefits by availing GSP Plus, a standard scheme for the developing country to provide trade benefits. In availing GSP Plus from the EU, ensuring rights of workers and people and attaining sustainable development goals are key elements, experts noted. "I am not hopeful about availing EU GSP Plus. To become eligible for GSP Plus, exports to the EU must represent less than 6.5% of the value of the EU's total imports from all GSP beneficiary countries, which is very close to the limit and may be over by 2024," Mustafiz said. "The labour rights issue has yet to be properly addressed." "As of now, almost all of the export-oriented RMG factories have workers' participatory committees and trade union registration has increased to over 600 since 2013," BGMEA leader Faruque said. In recent times, there has been no incident of workers' harassment and they are enjoying the right to freedom of association, he added.
