  • The Origin of the Name of Gozo.Pdf
    The Origin of the Name of Gozo Horatio CAESAR ROGER VELLA The Name of Gozo paper will show, Gozo is an ancient variant of Gaudos from which it is derived, as much as Għawdex is. “Do you come from Għawdex?” is a question that The irony is that Gozo, Għawdex and Gaudos did sounds as discordant as the other one, “Intom minn not originally belong to us, as I explained in other Gozo?”. To one not conversant with the Greek origin publications of mine.1 of the names of Gozo, such questions sound like being uttered by Maltese trying to speak English, and Gaudos is the Greek name of a small island on the mix Maltese with English or, the other way round, south-western side of Crete, with its smaller sister like knowledgeable tourists trying to speak Maltese island of Gaudapula. Cretan Gaudos is half the size and, to our mind, mix it with “English”. This paper of our island of Gozo, roughly at 24˚ longitude and will show that none is the case. 35˚ latitude (1˚ southern than our Gozo), and less than 30 miles from Crete. We, in fact, can use “Għawdex” liberally when speaking in English; likewise, we can use the name The pronunciation of Cretan Gaudos from Byzantine of “Gozo” when speaking in Maltese, for, as this times has been not Gaudos, but Gavdos, for since those times, the Greeks developed the pronunciation of the diphthong au as “av”, as in thauma, pronounced as “thavma”, meaning “miracle”. Similarly, eu is pronounced as “ev” as in Zeus pronounced as “Zevs”, the chief god of the Greek pantheon.

The following countries have provided updates to certain mail services: Mauritius UPDATE: Mauritius Post has advised that the Government of Mauritius has announced the easing of COVID-related restrictions as of July 1, 2021, subject to strict adherence to sanitary protocols and measures. On July 15, 2021, Mauritius will gradually open its international borders. However, COVID-19 continues to have a direct impact on international inbound and outbound mails to and from Mauritius.

New Zealand UPDATE: New Zealand Post has advised that the level-2 alert in the Wellington region has ended as of June 29, 2021. Panama UPDATE: Correos de Panama has advised that post offices, mail processing centers (domestic and international) and the air transhipment office at Tocúmen International Airport are operating under normal working hours and the biosafety measures established by the Ministry of Health of Panama (MINSA).

  • Postcom News Archives January 2018 National News
    PostCom News Archives January 2018 National News January 28 Bloomberg: Amazon.com Inc. is expanding a service launched to make more groceries, cleaning supplies and other products available for quick delivery directly from merchants without overwhelming the e-commerce giant’s warehouses with additional inventory, according to documents reviewed by Bloomberg. The trial pushes Amazon’s logistical reach beyond its own facilities and into those of its merchants, encroaching on services of long-time delivery partners United Parcel Service Inc. and FedEx Corp. Amazon is enticing the sellers who use the company’s online marketplace with lower delivery costs, logistics software, warehouse inspections and recommendations. Amazon will oversee pickup of packages from warehouses of third-party merchants selling goods on Amazon.com and the delivery to customers’ homes, work that is now often handled by UPS and FedEx. Amazon could still use these couriers for delivery, but the company will decide how a package is sent instead of leaving it up to the seller. Handling more deliveries itself would give Seattle-based Amazon greater flexibility and control over the last mile to shoppers’ doorsteps, let it save money through volume discounts and help avoid congestion in its warehouses by keeping merchandise in the outside sellers’ own facilities. Amazon is recruiting more sellers and has changed the name to FBA Onsite, according to documents reviewed by Bloomberg, associating the program with its popular logistics service Fulfillment By Amazon that launched in 2006. January 27 PostalNews: Millions of Americans utilize USPS on a daily basis, yet the public desire for a Postal Service that serves the common good is trumped by the financial wealth and political power of relatively few owners of large corporations that utilize the Postal Service for advertising purposes.

  • Position Paper
    Page 1/5 POSITION PAPER The ECORYS Study on “Development of competition in the European postal sector” 22 March 2006 PostEurop, the Association of 43 Postal Operators, holders of the Universal Service Obligation at national as well as at international level, through its Postal Directive Working Group, has followed with attention the progress and the outcome of the Study performed by ECORYS for the European Commission (DG Markt) titled : “The development of competition in the European postal sector”1. The Study has been made public in mid-August 2005. The European Commission hosted a workshop on 10 October 2005 during which ECORYS described the main results of its study. PostEurop has already taken the opportunity to issue its opinions on the progress of the ECORYS study and refers therefore to its existing Opinion Paper of 15 June 20052. Following the invitation of the European Commission, PostEurop is pleased to have the opportunity to convey the following position observations in order to positively contribute to the further definition of Community postal policy. 1. GENERAL REMARKS At first sight the study provides a fresh view on current developments within the European postal sector as well as its (possible) future. The report’s uniqueness lies in the fact that it combines up-to- date knowledge of postal companies, their processes, the markets they serve, current and potential competitive forces, strategic options and the impact of liberalisation to draw a picture of the possible future of the European postal sector. ECORYS is considering the development of competition on the upstream markets as an indicator of the overall process of liberalisation.
