Hi !
The production and sale of butter and cheese has existed in Aland since the Middle Ages. The first Aland dairy was founded approx. 120 years ago. Today, the dairy cooperative Alands Centralandelslag (ACA) handles the Aland dairy production.
ACA cheeses have won several awards, the most recent success being the 2012 competition for best Finnish cheese. The cheeses “Kastelholm”, “Alands special” and “Prostens magra” came in second, whereas the Aland “Edam” won third place. A total of 107 types of cheese were entered in the competition in 12 different categories.
The Kastelholm cheese featured on the new stamp by Aland Post got its name from the only medieval castle in Aland, located in Sund. The name is thought to originate from a traditional type of double cream cheese which was produced in Sund in the 1500s.

A special postal cover and cancellation in honour of K.P. Kittappa Pillai, descendent of Thanjavur quartet, musician, and bharatanatyam guru, was released as part of his birth centenary celebrations here on Sunday.
Mervin Alexander (second from left) releasing the Special Cover at the birth centenary celebrations of K.P. Kittappa Pillai, in Thanjavur on 5th May 2013. Babaji Rajah Bhonsle, Senior Prince and Hereditary Trustee of Palace Devasthanam (third from left), receives the cover.
Releasing the cover and cancellation, Mervin Alexander, Post-Master General, Central Region, Tiruchi, pointed out that India Post has been releasing special postal covers and cancellations in honour of great personalities. Cancellation is more important than release of postal cover as it gives the sovereign symbol of the State to the personality.
Special postal covers and cancellations help in telling the greatness of people to posterity. “Artists keep the art alive by striving against all odds. Government can help them but only the artists can keep the art forms alive. If art and music dies then human race will die,” he said.
Babaji Rajah Bhonsle, Senior Prince and Hereditary Trustee of Palace Devasthanam, received the special postal cover. He said that Thanjavur Quartet — Chinnaiya, Ponnaiya, Sivavanandam, and Vadivelu were employed in the court of Maratta King Serfoji II and contributed for the development of Bharatanatyam and music.
Their descendants like Kittappa Pillai carried forward their mission. The Post Master General released a souvenir, a special issue of music journal Sruthi which brought the edition to commemorate the birth centenary of Kittappa Pillai and a book Thanjai Nalvar Nattiya Surangam written by Kittappa Pillai. The book has been republished for the occasion.

BHUPEX 2013
The District Level Philatelic Exhibition, BHUPEX-2013 organized by Bhubaneswar Postal Division from 25.03.2013 to 26.03.2013 at Jaydev Bhawan. The highlights of the two-day celebration are as follows.
25.03.2013 :
The District Level Philatelic Exhibition, BHUPEX-2013 was inaugurated at 10.30AM on 25.03.2013 by Padma Vibhusan Sj. Ragunath Mohapatra on 25.03.2013 at Jaydev Bhawan, Bhubaneswar.
Addressing the gathering participated by school children and philatelists , Padma Vibhusan (2013 ) Sj. Raghunath Mohapatra, noted architect and sculptor and member of prestigious Indian Council for Cultural Relation (ICCR) praised the contribution of India Post towards the rich heritage of India through release postage stamps and informed the authorities to avail the opportunity of collecting rare materials inherited from his ancestors and possessed by him on cultural and aesthetic aspects for release of stamps.
Presenting a paper “Why shall I collect stamp” Sri Shanti Swarup Rath, eminent philatelist and member of EIPA encouraged the participating school children.
Sri Ajit Kumar Dash, Secretary, Eastern India Philatelists’ Association while addressing the gathering as Hon’ble Speaker expressed concern over irregular conductance of both State level and District level philatelic exhibitions in Odisha. After a gap of 5 years BHUPEX-2013 has been arranged. He urged for annual exhibitions regularly for creating interest amongst the youngsters towards philately. According to him the percentage of commemorative stamps released on people and places of Odisha is too low and highly unsatisfactory in comparison to other states in India. The reason is that the representation of Odisha in National Philatelic Advisory Board is only one. Thus he requested the postal administration to nominate more personalities for a huge representation in NPAB. He also requested the postal authorities to arrange for additional space in both the Philatelic Bureau at Bhubaneswar and Cuttack for displaying collections of eminent philatelists.
On the occasion, a special cover on Shanti Stupa, Dhauli was released and the first “My Stamp” was released with the photograph of Sj. Raghunath Mohapatra. In the end, a philatelic quiz competition was held amongst the participating school children.
