In the fifth century A.D. the church in the west used the Latin Bible. There were so many different copies of both the Old Latin and the modern Latin that confusion resulted. This bothered Pope Damasus, so he asked Jerome to make a new translation of the entire Bible in Latin.
Jerome was born to a Christian family in A.D. 329 at Stridon, in Dalmatia. The family was wealthy, making it possible for Jerome to pursue an extensive education. He learned Latin, Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic and some Arabic. He became a brilliant scholar and was one of very few with qualifications to produce a version of the Scriptures for the use of the Latin church.
The Gospels were his first installment in A.D. 383. The next twenty years were spent in working on the project. He was dissatisfied with the Septuagint version of the Old Testament, so he used the original Hebrew. During his work his eyesight became so bad he had to have help from assistants to continue.
Jerome did not accept the Apocryphal books as part of the canon. The Catholic Church included them in their canon at the Council of Trent in 1546.
At first there was much opposition to the new translation because it came from the Hebrew instead of the Septuagint. But as time went on it was accepted and became the official Bible of the Catholic Church. It was known as the Latin Vulgate because it was in the language of the common people.
The influence of this Bible on Christianity was profound. It was the Bible read by the great reformers of the Reformation period. A number of our ecclesiastical terms came from the Vulgate, e.g., predestination, justification, regeneration, revelation, propitiation, reconciliation, sanctification, mediation, inspiration, etc.
This was the first Bible printed by Gutenberg from moveable type and was the forerunner of all vernacular translations during the Reformation period.
The work was finally completed about A.D. 405. Jerome died on September 30, 420.
Discontent in the Christian religious world had been brewing for over a century. New leaders were needed to give new direction. Who could have realized that the boy born in Eisledben, Germany to Hans and Margaretta Luther on November 10, 1483 would one day shake the entire Christian world? Few have made so far-reaching an impact on modern Christianity.
Martin Luther grew up in a very strict family. He was beaten for any infraction of the high standards set by his parents. Undoubtedly this influenced his tendency to be intolerant of those who did not hold to his understanding of the Scriptures. During his college years he wrote that he was often discontent with his own Christian life. He felt completely unworthy. He finally came to the conviction that only through faith in Christ could one be justified in God’s sight, not by good works.
Luther felt the Catholic Church and its leaders fell far short of what God expected of them. The Bible was the standard by which all should live, not the teachings of the church. 0n October 31, 1517 he posted ninety-five theses, items for debate, on the door of the Castle church building in Whitten, Germany. These statements were an attack on the practices of the Catholic Church. Events following this action led to Luther’s excommunication from the church.
Luther’s burning desire was for every person to have the Bible available in his own language. Then each one would be able to read for themselves how God wanted them to live, and what practices should be carried on in the church.
Luther fled to Wartburg to escape arrest by church authorities. There he began the great work of translating the Scriptures into the common German language. It was not that the Bible was completely unavailable to the German speaking people. There were fourteen translations printed in High German and four in Low German. But these must not have been readily available to the common people, and the translation was not the best.
Luther began translating the New Testament and did a complete rendering in the first three months. The first publication was in September, 1522. He had the problems of the typical translator. He was never quite satisfied with his renderings, and kept revising until the day of his death in 1546.
The second publication of the New Testament was in December, 1522. The first is referred to as the SeptemberbibIe; the second called the Decemberbible. The New Testament was printed several times before he published the whole Bible in 1534.
Luther used Erasmus’ Greek New Testament, second edition (1518-19) as his original text. His great burden was to put the Bible into the German language so Germans could understand it. He conferred with a number of his friends on different passages and once stated “I endeavored to make Moses so German that no one would suspect he was a Jew.” He struggled with the names of animals and birds. He insisted that idioms of one language must be translated into the other language so it made sense to people.
Luther used many woodcut illustrations in his Bible. Some of his woodcuts resembled contemporary people, and more often than not, the faces of individuals Luther wasn’t getting along with were used for the Bible’s more unsavory characters.
The language Luther used played an important part in shaping the German language in future years, as his translation was reprinted numerous times. Even the first German Bibles and Testaments printed in early America were based on Luther’s renderings. We owe a great debt to Luther for his work.

How does a 70-year old company reposition itself for modern competition?
If you’re an expert in simplifying complex metal fabrication assemblies and helping develop new products, you want potential customers to understand your unique capabilities. But if your company name is York Metal Spinning, you sound like one of dozens of commoditized operators. Read how York Metal repositioned itself to attract new customers and grow.
York Metal knew it was time for a major transformation. They needed to change their market position from a metal spinner to a value-adding manufacturer, and adopt a fresh and modern image. Their printed media and website were outdated, and their sales force needed new collateral in order to showcase the company’s engineering capabilities. They needed to increase sales and improve web traffic. But, York Metal didn’t have the in-house marketing expertise and resources to get these things done.
They liked that Mezzanine was straightforward and honest about timelines and deliverables.
They respected that Mezzanine did their research, listened to all of their teams and were open to learning more about their processes.
They appreciated that Mezzanine was able to understand their technical jargon and produce marketing content that was meaningful to the manufacturing industry.
Mezzanine helped the company evaluate their current position in the global marketplace. They recognized that a new name, York Metal Products, and a complete rebranding was needed to reflect York Metal’s new manufacturing business model. Mezzanine developed fresh branding that better communicated the company’s offerings and built a winning marketing strategy to grow their market presence and generate leads.
Mezzanine focused on building a marketing strategy and a stronger platform for York Metal Products to communicate with customers and prospects in order to increase awareness and generate marketing-qualified conversions.
Working with Mezzanine, York Metal Products now has a completely redesigned brand image, a fresh website and a bold, innovative marketing plan in place for the future.

Our beautiful Steinway & Sons D-274 is now at your disposal.
Check out the Audio Demos and our Videos - more and more will be added within the next days!
Synchron_Steinway_D_274.jpg (172kb) downloaded 23 time(s).
Thanks! I was hoping for Synchron Brass I or Synchron Woodwinds I but the new Steinway sounds fantastic. Happy holidays to you and to all the VSL team.
a) ...Synchron-Strings explored in 40 mp3 with more than four hours of complete and ambitious scores from 19th, 20th and 21th century produced with Synchron-Strings.
b) ...Synchron-Steinway explored in 48 mp3 with nearly three hours of complete and ambitious scores from 18th 19th 20th and 21th century produced with Synchron-Steinway.
I just have to say, I really enjoy playing on this Steinway, the crisp attacks, roundness of the sound, clarity and balance is stunning.
Pretty cool! Bought! Will load it on Weekend.
Congrats for your performances once again!
Welcome Steinway & Sons D-274! You have a really nice sound!
Any chance someone care to exchange the second Close mic set with the Decca Tree in the Standard library? I would be happy to have the not-too-close mics, rather than the room mics!
May I request the 3 Chopin demos for both the Yam and Steinway with the exact same settings?
This is awesome! I know it's going to sound incredible. I recently purchased a new computer with a hard drive big enough because I was anticipating something like this from VSL. Now it's here.
Will this run in the current Synchron Piano Player that already has my VSL CFX in it or will I need two versions of the Synchron Piano Player on my computer? Thanks.
Yamaha CFX and Steinway D share the same software, just make sure to update all VSL Software to have full functionality!
@Paolo: Setup will stay as it is. The Full Library is absolutely worth it!
I just purchaed it, but do I download both the "stereo" and the "multi" versions of the libarary for the full version or is just one of thm sufficient? Thanks.
Yes, you need both Standard and Multi.
The Grand Concert piano that I was waiting for.
Indeed, what a great instrument!
May I add a request for demos? I'd like to hear some pieces or excerpts that feature very soft dynamics and the middle register!
The loud stuff with lots of very high, low and fast notes always sound impressive, but the real challenge for sampled pianos for me is in that center register that can often sound flat and dull. I'm sure the Steinway will have a beautiful tone in that range, but it would simply be nice to hear it.
Thanks. I have a super slow internet (5Mbps). In download manager I've been downloading both the Standard and Multi libraries at the same time. Just now the standard library completed after 28 hours. Download manager says another 6 hours to complete the Multi download. Once they are both downloaded, I can only install one at a time, correct?
So I would install the standard using the library installer and when that's finished I would install the multi. It's this correct? Thanks.
Yes, you need to install one after the other. The order is not important, and you can start the installer while the download for the other library is still running.
Wonderful piano. Very responsive, beautiful clear and round sound, great lower end, fast loading. Another great product. The sound is different from the Synchron Yamaha CFX, so worth buying even if you have that one.
Congratulations on this instrument! The technical quality of the recordings is astonishing. There are few acoustic piano recordings that have a piano that well prepped and recorded.
I notice in the demo with Stefan that he is playing an FLKeys Lachnit controller. These can output high-def MIDI (4096 levels). Does this piano take advantage of any of that resolution in the programming? I found the choice of controller interesting as it is likely the best piano controller available in the world, and goes far beyond what a normal digital piano is capable of delivering.
I have a VAX77 keyboard which also outputs high-def MIDI, scanned optically.
Thank you, and again, very nice work on the sampling. Truly state of the art.
We also like the Lachnit a lot, that's why it was our first choice for Stefan.
However, the Synchron Pianos respond to normal MIDI, no higher resolution.
@David B.: Mac doesn't take byte to GB conversion so seriously, hence the difference in numbers. Yoiu can check with this converter (Synchron Pianos are 285'938'563'215 bytes).

text: Stimulated by the energy crisis and inspired by natural photosynthesis, several molecular photovoltaic (artificial photosynthetic) systems were developed and investigated within the current research. These molecular photovoltaic cells are based on solid-supported hybrid bilayer matrices which are composed of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of alkanethiols/octadecyltrichlorosilane and a phospholipid monolayer on gold or ITO substrate. Various chromophores including fullerenes C63, ruthenium tris(bipyridyl) complexes (Ru(bpy)32+) and zinc porphyrin (ZnP) were incorporated in the lipid layer to enable photo-excitation, charge separation and thus photocurrent generation. To further develop and improve these photovoltaics, some natural compounds, such as lutein and cholesterol, were co-assembled in the lipid layer to modulate the photocurrent and photovoltage generation by the photoactive agents. The modulation effect was also successfully applied by altering the underlying SAM layer. A combination of UV-Vis, fluorescence and impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry (CV), atomic force microscopy (AFM) as well as photoelectrochemical techniques were used to characterize and investigate these systems. This dissertation begins with an introduction to the concept of photovoltaic system and its development, the formation of solid-supported hybrid bilayer as well as the photo-sensitizers commonly used for molecular photovoltaics. Four research projects are then discussed separately, which include the investigation on the photocurrent modulation generated by fullerene C63 through co-incorporating a natural compound lutein in an alkanethiol/lipid hybrid bilayer matrix; the studies with the modulation of porphyrin and fullerene's photocurrent and photovoltage generation by using polar alkanethiol to form the underlying SAM layer as well as the involved mechanisms form several perspectives; the discussion on the dual impacts of cholesterol on lipid membranes and thus induced different effects on the photovoltaic responses of fullerene co-assembled in hybrid bilayer matrices; as well as the photovoltaic systems built on modified Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) and the difficulties of forming well-packed SAM layers on ITO surface. Which is followed by a conclusion and a brief future outlook.

Since my recent adventure in cutting a trailer for a documentary, I've been thinking this might be something I should do more of. It has several pluses: it's a relatively intense, fast, and direct process and allows me to focus on editing instead of all the myriad details that even basic doc production requires.
Which doesn't mean I don't love doc production. It's just nice, sometimes, to do something that is a direct challenge: take this stuff, cut it into a trailer. I kinda like that.

The Street of Butterflies (2017, Inanna Publications) goes well with another book of short fiction I recently reviewed (also from Inanna), Outside People. They are stories told from the point of view of those that have left their birth country for Canada, or have chosen to stay while others have left looking for more freedom and other opportunities. Ms Yalfani, being from Iran gives us a look at what life was like after the revolution and the Iran-Iraqi war of 1980-88.
Fifteen stories of people living in fear in Iran, or fearful of leaving Iran to come to Canada, then questioning their decisions and trying to live with the consequences.
However, hours go by and Nozar hasn’t returned. Sara begins to think the authorities have arrested Nozar and she will never see him again. Every car that goes by their house makes her think it may be Nozar returning.
Cars passed by in the street, but the apartment was quiet. Even though she was certain that Nozar would not be back, she could not quell the flutter of hope inside her.
Also fluttering inside her is their unborn child, which adds more tension to the story.
Everybody called it “a suitable choice”. What a choice!
Each one absolves themselves of any fault that Sima likes Kamyar better and is bored with Gholem. It is a slightly humorous tale, but is sad too, as Sima’s dreams, after coming so far, get shattered.
As was the case with Outside People, I greatly enjoyed these stories, and more importantly, learned more about a culture I was heretofore not that familiar with. Well done, Ms Yalfani!

The establishment of the Australian Council of Superannuation Investors (ACSI) by a number of superannuation funds and industry bodies to develop guidelines for superannuation funds on ESG issues and to establish corporate governance principles for Australian-listed companies.
The Establishment of the ASX Corporate Governance Council.
The Financial Service Council’s (FSC) standards on voting disclosure and ESG risk reporting.
Guidance from bodies such as the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees on the integration of ESG issues into decision-making.
NGO campaigns on specific issues, with a number of these (e.g. on stranded assets) raising significant investment concerns, which are increasingly being echoed by leading Australian brokers, consultants and advisors (such as Citi, HSBC and Mercer).
The likelihood that the industry will face increased demands for transparency (e.g. in relation to fund holdings).
Industry competition for members with responsible investment being a potential point of differentiation. • Growing consumer interest in ethical and green funds.
Growing recognition by fund managers that ESG issues – in particular, governance issues – are important and need to be accounted for in investment decision-making.
Growing recognition that responsible investment may enable above benchmark returns to be achieved.
Entrenched short-termism, driven by factors such as fund manager remuneration structures and performance/reporting cycles.
Ambiguous legal rules, in particular the absence of case law on the extent to which the duty to maximise benefits for beneficiaries may be viewed as inconsistent with ESG investment, and on the practical import of the heightened standard of trustee due diligence.
The limited guidance from APRA on how responsible investment should be applied in practice, raising concerns that responsible investment may run counter to trustees’ fiduciary duties.
Historical trust instruments. The fact that the trust deeds of many of the large investment funds in Australia were settled at least 20 years ago and do not contemplate ESG investment is seen as increasing the risk for funds that they may not have the legal power to make ESG investments.
The need for liquidity, diversification and dividend yield, which has, historically, been a very important argument for investing in the resources and energy sector. This is compounded by a commonly held view that responsible investment is the same as negative screening.
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) should clarify that fiduciary duty requires asset owners to pay attention to long-term factors (including ESG factors) in their decision-making, and in the decision-making of their agents.
Australian regulators should clarify that responsible investment includes ESG integration, engagement, voting and public policy engagement.

Biel’s Photocopy Service, as the business was first called, began operating May 18, 1939 in the upper flat of a two story house at 699 Elmwood Avenue. Upon reaching Buffalo they were able to rent this space with the small amount of money they had remaining, supplemented by loans from relatives who were already in the country. In addition to this, they had all of their belongings, both household and business, that they had shipped from storage in New York City. Most important was their German made kontophot; a 35mm microfilm camera that would be used for all photographs in the first several years.
The equipment was set up in their flat, making the best of what little space they had. Before the equipment would be operable, Biel had to reduce the electrical requirements on all the equipment brought from Europe from 220 volts to 110. Another task with which Biel was faced was the setup of a film processing area. This would eventually be incorporated into the bathroom including the use of the bathtub for washing prints. After documents were filmed, the film was developed in a series of tanks, then dried and stored. From this film, enlargements could then be made as desired. The development of these prints employed the use of a series of trays in which the prints were developed, fixed and washed. It was in this manner that documents were stored and reproduced from microfilm, a method from which Biel’s Photocopy would derive much of its early business.
Among the Biel’s first customers were the Buffalo Museum, the Erie Co. Historical Society, newspapers and various retail stores. Through the use of microfilm, as described above, documents could be photographed and then enlarged or reduced in size when printed back to paper copies. In addition to the advantage of being able to reduce or enlarge the size of a print, it also offered the ability to make unlimited copies of the same document. One of the first services that Biel successfully provided was the filming of retail items for advertising purposes. Objects could be filmed capturing the finest details, and reproduced at relatively low cost to advertisers. Another service offered was to photograph newspaper ads and reproduce them for advertisers, or their competitors, who wished to keep copies of them.
Such techniques had not previously been available from a vendor who was dedicated solely to the production of microfilm. It was the fortune of timing that brought Mr. Biel into business just when the microfilm industry was so ripe for the market. Coupled with a great deal of effort and an acute business sense, these circumstances helped Biel’s Photocopy Service to get off to a very good start.

During a military regime the chief martial law administrator (CMLA) as can be excepted exercise the crucial role in foreign policy decision making in Bangladesh. Personality also plays important role here. Under the democratic government the role of the foreign minister is also prominent. But this is not the case when the country is ruled by the military. In such a situation foreign minister usually plays a role no better than the personal of the (CMLA). Both civilian and military plays a major role in the foreign policy decision making of Bangladesh. As foreign policy is the extension of the domestic policy many other related ministries, viz. finance planning foreign trade establishment etc. together with defense establishment play important role in making foreign policy decisions. Of late few research institutes like that Bangladesh institute of international and strategies studies have been set up in Bangladesh which contribute to the decision making process by under taking studies on particular problem and issue.

Securing the withdrawal of the Indian troops.
Participation in the OIC summit in Lahore in 1974.
Membership of the UN in 1974.

Signing the 30-year agreement for sharing the Ganges water (1997).
The security interest of Bangladesh warrants the acceleration of the pace of consolidation of the hard-won independence. Hence the highest priority must be assigned the national goals of development with the focus on human resources development poverty alleviation and employment generation .the direction of securing the political and economic cooperation of the international community towards achieving these central development goals as speedily as possible. The central goals of human resource development and poverty alleviation should continue to receive the top most priority .Internationally known successful experiments like the Grameen Bank could receive special attention in country projection.
In designing Bangladesh’s foreign policy special attention must be paid to the potential role of Bangladesh as an actor on the international scene. This role can be vastly enhanced in significance if Bangladesh as the eighth largest nation can stay in the mainstream of the nations committed to the UN charter, the principles of NAM, OIC and Group of 77.
Geopolitically, Bangladesh belongs to South Asia. This is also the most demanding region for BFP. As the largest and strongest nation in South Asia, India tops the list of Bangladesh’s foreign policy concern. The Special and idyllic relationship in which Bangladesh and India found themselves following the liberation war soon started hitting rocks and shoats; and subsequently a list of bilateral issues emerged as a divider between the two countries. The relationship, however, began with dramatic foreign policy success of Bangladesh via-a-via India.
8. India-Bangladesh ad hoc Agreement on Farakka.
Sharing of Common River waters, particularly that of the ganges.
Smuggling, and illegal cross-border activities.
On 18 April 1975, India and Bangladesh reached a one-year ad hoc agreement on Farakka stipulating that Bangladesh would receive at 44000 cusecs of Ganges water during the lean season. Bangladesh needs a permanent and immediate solution.
The background for such a solution was created in mid-1996 when the Awami League Govt. took power in Dhaka and United Front govt. in Delhi. Again, the critical factor of regime compatibility played its role in bringing about a qualitative change in Dhaka-Delhi relations; and through a flurry of diplomatic activities in Dhaka, Delhi and Calcutta a 30-year water treaty was signed on 12 December 1996.The Treaty at least provides a 30-year mechanism to legally bind India to a sharing arrangement.
The long persisting issue of Tin Bigha corrider was resolved in 1992, but in a way different from what had been stipulated in the 1974 agreement. India was supposed to lease the corridor in perpetuity to Bangladesh. But the 1992 agreement stipulated common use by Bangladesh and India.
For over two and a half decades the chittagong Hill Tracts issue has been posing a serious threat to security & economy of Bangladesh. With Cross-border ramifications and with Indian Involvement, the issue at times appeared intractable, but since 1992 with Indian a democratically elected government in power in Bangladesh Indian attitude began changing and the change became more apparent with the AL Government assuming power.
A joint command composed of Indian and Bangladesh forces had been set up on December 6, 1971, and though arms were mostly captured by or surrendered to the Indian forces, they were technically in the possession of the joint command. Therefore, Bangladesh had legitimate claims to some of those arms.
The next issue in dispute in Indo-Bangladesh relations in the immediate post-1971 years was the trade pact signed between the two countries. The central feature of this pact was the creation of ten miles of free trade zones on both sides of the border designed ostensibly to promote closer trade relations between Bangladesh and India. Similarly, Consumer goods, medicine tobacco, etc found their way into Bangladesh from India.
The Farakka Barrage is also designed to “improve communication facilities, drainage, sanitation and water supplies in Calcutta, as well as inland transport throughout west bangle, with a rail and road project over the Farakka. Bangladesh claims that the Ganges is an international river. Therefore, India must Respect Bangladesh’s demand as a lower riparian foe a share in the Ganges water, which is vital for its southwestern districts.
The Indian annexation of a newly emerged island known as Purbasha in the Bay of Bengal has not only further soured Indo-Bangladesh Relations but has clearly helped in forming an intense anti-Indian Public opinion in Bangladesh. Bangladesh expressed its complete surprise over this announcement and revealed that Indian had commitments at the highest level to a joint survey which should therefore be honored. New Delhi merely agreed to discuss the question with a view to setting it peacefully but Indo-Bangladesh joint statement issued following this visit failed to mention just how the dispute was to be settled.
However, the Bangladesh government maintains that its navy boats in the area were well within Bangladesh territorial water and in a strongly worded protest note to India, asked for the withdrawal of Indian ships and men from the disputed island. The Bangladesh Government also renewed its call for a joint survey to settle the issue of the island’s ownership.
Much of its India policy is ad hoc response under the circumstances. The failure of the establishment in this regard may be attributed to the divisive political milieu via-a-via India. But it should be categorically stated that neither pro-Indian ebullition nor India bashing rhetoric for political consumption would be helpful. What is needed is a hard headed thinking for a well-thought out and realistic India policy for maximizing our gains.
*japans survey found that in Bangladesh investment is cheaper than 21 cities in Asia.
*Investment cost in Bangladesh is cheaper than other country(2004).
*The cities and countries that survey was conducted were seal, Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore, Bangkok, Kualalumpur, Jakarta, Indonesia, Manila, Mumbai, Bangalore, Karachi, Colombo, Dhaka etc. The comparison was based on 34 cost components. The components included wages for workers, salary for engineers and stuff. Cost for land, office rent, mobile charge, internet charge, electricity, gas, water, fees, cost of petrol, tax, vat etc. Japan external trade organization (JETRO) surveyed it.
The relatively position in Bangladesh is improved in components like rental fee in the industrial estates ,charges for overseas phone call, cost for water and petrol etc.
Bangladesh is loss competitive in the areas monthly basis payment for broad band internet service, new connection fee for fixed telephone line,ISD mobile ,cost of passenger car, container transportation and corporate tax.
New development is added to Bangladesh, that could improved in the investment climate. They are “work permit for foreigners and “visa on arrival”.
For proper transshipment in Chittagong port JETRO suggested to construct a deep sea point in Bangladesh.
Due to the increase in import duty for passenger cars, Bangladesh has become one of the most expensive countries in Asia.
The corporate tax in Bangladesh is 37.5% .That is why they suggested that the evasion should be controlled.
To introduce much more attractive incentives comparing to china, Vietnam and other ASEAN countries JEPRO suggested to the government to concentrate on three aspects – improvement of infrastructure facilities, ensuring speed, security and transparency and continuation in government policies. If the government addresses three aspects gradually, the flow of foreign investment to Bangladesh should increases automatically.
Like Malaysia ,Bangladesh a predominantly muslim country ,with around 87% of its population being muslim ,it earned international recognition for its moderate religious and cultural ethos ,social tolerance and ethnic cohesion .It characterizes Bangladesh as a liberal and tolerant muslim country .Being the co-member of OIC,NAM commonwealth, D-8 and ARF Malaysia and Bangladesh share common perception to promote peace ,stability and development about 200000 people who are working in Bangladesh .
Bangladesh and Malaysia enjoy good bilateral relations based on the foundation of common religion history and culture. The state of good relation is reflected in the fast growing bilateral co-operation including economic and technical assistant trade and investment employment of Bangladesh workforce in Malaysia .
Today Malaysia is the largest investment partner of Bangladesh and they investment about (RM 4.1 billion) U.S.$ 1.3 billion in 59 projects, mainly in telecommunication ,power, textile, and financial sector.
Bangladesh is the only nation among the worlds 49 least development countries to be self sufficient in the production of pharmaceutical -largely branded generic drugs. In adding with that Malaysia’s leading educational institution, healthier provider and pharmaceutical company visited Dhaka to explore the new market with nearly 140 million people.
FUTURE: Trade co-operation are increasing year by year between Malaysia and Bangladesh by increasing pharmaceutical export. Business groups are calling for free trade argument (FTA) because Bangladesh’s total exports to Malaysia -its largest investment partner among ASIAN were worth just U.S.$ 16.9 million where its import from this totaled U.S.$ 384.11 million.
Malaysia said will continue to contribute positive efforts to promote and expand bilateral relation with Bangladesh particularly in trade and investments.
Malaysia will invest in the potential sector in Bangladesh .They may assured all the technical and logistic support for the upcoming Bangladeshi single country trade fair be held.
Bangladesh got “zero tarrif” to enter Bangladesh product in Malaysia preferring Bangladeshi garments, home textile, handicrafts, halal food,spices ,melamine and medicine.
The Bangladesh Malaysia ties are stated to be an over steady increases with more and more argument being reached ,deeping and widening the area co-operation the relationship between these friendly muslim nation would grew stranger .
The most recent outflow from Arakan to Bangladesh took place in 1991and 1992. More the 250000 Rohingga refugee fled .With the assistance of UNHCR and non governmental relief agencies ,the Bangladeshi government sheltered the refugees in 19 camps in the vicinity of cox’s Bazar in southern Bangladesh .
Relations are considered to be productive and progressive. Their relations have gone on to expand in several areas such as defence and trade & investment. Bangladesh also sends a large number of skilled migrant workers to South Korea to work in the following sectors:- construction, manufacture, services, and agriculture, fisheries and livestock.
There is a North Korean embassy located in Dhaka although Bangladesh maintains a non-residential status. Instead communication with the Juche state and Bangladesh is with the latter’s embassy in Beijing. Relations have only gone as far as recognition and neither nation has ever shown the desire to progress this even further.
Relations began during the inauguration of Nelson Mandela in 1994, and full diplomatic relations were implemented on 10 September, 1994.
Due to the brutality and the White Supremacist ideology of the Apartheid regime, relations between South Africa and Bangladesh were non-existent until the collapse of white minority rule and Nelson Mandela’s rise to power. There is a number of Bangladeshis which make up the South Asian community in South Africa and immigration still continues, although it has temporarily halted due to attacks against foreign workers.
Bangladesh exports its raw materials such as leather, finished jute and also garments and textiles. South Africa exports to Bangladesh are iron ore, steel, aluminum, infrastructure projects and machinery and equipment for railways.
Relations between the two countries are considered strong based on common religion and values. A turning point in relations occurred during the Gulf War when Bangladesh sent a contingent of 2,300 personnel to monitor peace in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait and a contributor to UNIKOM with a mechanised infantry battalion. Bangladesh sends guests workers to Kuwait to enable its citizens to work in higher paying jobs leading to remittances as well as there being a Bangladeshi community present in the country. Relations between the two countries have even indulged into military ties since the 1980s and a deal signed in February 1, 2004 under which Bangladesh Armed Forces are to provide technical and vocational training to the Kuwaiti army for the next six years.
Both Germany and Bangladesh share common views on various international issues and work together in the UN and in other international forum.
After the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, Germany was one of the first European countries to officially recognize Bangladesh in 1972. Bangladesh also warmly greeted German reunification. As an economic power as well as an important member of the European Union (EU), Germany is a reliable partner of Bangladesh in development cooperation. Since independence German churches and numerous NGOs made tremendous efforts to promote the social and economic development of Bangladesh. German assistance to Bangladesh is received in the form of development efforts, trade and cultural cooperation. Both countries have a long and successful bilateral relationship on most international issues. Germany always emphasizes the democratic characteristics, governance issues and development process of Bangladesh. Germany developed as a democratic country in deep remorse for World War II and became one of the top most economic powers of the world. After establishment of diplomatic relations, the bilateral relations between the two countries began to grow steadily.
Between the start of development cooperation in 1972 and the end of 2005, Bangladesh received approximately $2.3 billion in commitments from Germany as part of bilateral Financial and Technical Cooperation in addition of the funds provided by the German churches and NGOs. At an intergovernmental negotiation in 2005, Bangladesh received ? 14 million in new commitments from Germany. Since 1978, all German funds provided as part of government level cooperation have been in the form of non-repayable grants.
Bangladesh is a priority partner country of German Development Cooperation (GTZ). By an agreement between both the government adopted in May 2004, the activities of the GTZ focus on three priority areas such as healthcare including family planning, economic reform and development of the market system through promotion of private sector, especially SMEs, and renewable energies. Among the other ongoing projects the promotion of legal and social empowerment of women in Bangladesh is also to be mentioned. The sustainable economic development program of GTZ in Bangladesh contributes to the competitiveness of the RMGs sector, as well as other export-oriented sectors like silk, leather and jute.
In trade with Germany, Bangladesh has for years recorded a large surplus. Germany is the second largest export market of Bangladesh after the US. Bangladesh exports in Germany in 2006 amounted to ? 1.56 billion as compared with Bangladesh imports in the same period of only ? 305 million. About 94% of the exports from Bangladesh to Germany are RMGs and Bangladesh imports mainly comprising machinery, chemical and electrical goods, and medicines. A German-Bangladeshi investment promotion and protection agreement has been in force since 1986 and a bilateral double taxation accord since 1993. So far German direct investments in Bangladesh are almost ? 60 million. The Bangladesh-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BGCCI) acts as a business platform and mediator between both the countries and promotes bilateral trade relations by coordinating and providing required information and services.
The cultural relationship of both the countries is very strong. The cultural cooperation between them is mainly channeled through the Goethe Institute that work on developing the cultural ties between both the countries by sponsoring local and German cultural activities. Bangladesh has traditional and historical connection with Germany. There is a century-old exchange between German and Bengali people. German interest in the culture of Bengal dates back to the visits to Germany by the Bengali national poet and Nobel laureate for literature Rabindranath Tagore in the 1920s and 1930s. Many Bangladeshi intellectuals take a keen and informed interest in German literature, art, architecture and philosophy. In Bangladesh Goethe Institute is the main meeting place for all those interested in Germany.
Goethe-Institute Dhaka with headquarters in Munich offers a broad variety of cultural events to present the German culture in Bangladesh through its main activities by film-workshops, film-presentations, seminars and lectures on socio-political subjects as well as on aspects on contemporary arts, theatre performances, and exhibitions of German and Bangladeshi artists.
Environmental care and consequences of globalization are covered in the workshops and seminars. The Institute offers an extensive language course program up to intermediate level where about 600 students learn German in every year. There are around 350 academics received training in Germany with German funding; some of them now hold important positions in the administrative and academic institutions of Bangladesh. A foreign professional chair is sponsored by the Bangladeshi government at the University of Heidelberg’s South Asia Institute.
Bangladesh has traditional and historical connection with Germany, and both the countries enjoy closest ties. There are increasing contracts amongst German and Bangladeshi artists, primarily in the fine arts, photography/film and theatre. Bangladeshi artists have been able to exhibit in German galleries and museums. A number of visual artists from Bangladesh have also made Germany their new home. Germany continues to promote the restoration of historical monuments, archeological research and the unique legacy of the Bengali catamarans. Since 1981, a cooperation agreement has been in place between Radio Bangladesh and Deutsche Welle (DW).
The bilateral commercial and trade interests of both the countries are continuing, although there is considerable scope for greater engagement. Bilateral relations got some momentum by several high level visits, contracts, and political and economic dialogue. In December 2000, the then head of the government of Bangladesh officially visited Germany. In February 2004, a German nine-member parliamentary delegation also visited Bangladesh. Both Germany and Bangladesh share common views on various international issues and work together in the UN and in other international forum. They have maintained and developed close and friendly relations in a wide range of field. The two countries are harmonized together by their commitment to various sectors mutually agreed upon, which is expected to be strengthened further in future.
Bangladesh relies on substantial foreign aid: more than US$1 billion a year. The Netherlands share in ODA is approximately 3.5% (€33.8 million in 2003). The Netherlands plays a central role in the priority sectors education, health care and water. The added value it provides is mainly to be found in expertise and experience as well as attention for gender and donor coordination. Dutch non-governmental organizations are well represented in Bangladesh.
The former Soviet Union supported Indians actions during the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war and among the first to recognize Bangladesh. The USSR initially contributed considerable relief and rehabilitation aid to the new nation. However, Soviet-Bangladesh relation cooled.

They financed the Ghorasal thermal power station the largest in Bangladesh. Recently Russia has conducted an aggressive military sales effort in Dhaka and has succeeded with a 124-million dollar deal for eight MIG- 29 fighters.

Chinese support is crucial for implementing the tri-nation road network to forge deep strategic relation between South East Asia. A similar road network encompassing North Eastern portal India, Bangladesh and China will be beneficial.
Bangladesh should rather ask for big ticket Chinese investment in industrial sector. We import capital machinery, industrial raw materials and telecommunication equipments from china. Bangladesh can offer cheaper labor and utilities. This way we get the technology and our worker get jobs.

Bangladesh and Pakistan – two major nations of South Asia share a common historical, religious and cultural heritage.
A major area of conflict between Bangladesh and Pakistan is the issue of repatriation of stranded Pakistanis in Bangladesh. It is important to note that about 10 lakhs non-Bangalis had been stranded in Bangladesh after independence. Of then 5 lakhs opted for residing in Bangladesh and he rest claimed their repatriation to Pakistan. They enlisted their names in the list prepared by International Red Cross Society during 1972-73.
In August 27, 1977 Foreign Secretary of Bangladesh visited Pakistan and it was agreed upon the issue that Pakistan would certainly take 25,000 non-Bangalis from Bangladesh when president Ziaur Rahman Visited Pakistan in 1977 the Government in Islamabad agreed to speed up the process of repatriation. Again on July 20, 1978 Foreign Secretary of Bangladesh, during his visit to Pakistan, requested the government of Pakistan to complete the process of Repatriation of non-Bangalis from Bangladesh.
October 25, 1980 Pakistani Foreign Secretary Reaz Piracha visited Bangladesh but avoided the discussion of the question by saying “since we have no dispute there is no question of agreement to be reached in this meeting”. Finally, when Pakistani foreign minister Lt. General Shahibjada Yakub Khan visited Bangladesh on August 10, 1983 the issue was brought before him. In an Interview with the journalists in Dhaka, Pakistani foreign minister expressed that Pakistan might take 50,000 more non-bangalis from Bangladesh but reiterated the criteria as proposed by Pakistan in the tripartite conference in 1974.
An immediate manifestation of the establishment of diplomatic relations was the restoration of telecommunication links through satellites between Bangladesh and Pakistan. In July 1976 air communication was also restored between these two countries. In October of the same year Shipping Communication started. Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) offered a Boeing to Bangladesh in November. In addition, Pakistan offered 28 railway coaches to Bangladesh. Bangladesh presented tea during flood in Pakistan which in turn, presented to Bangladesh rice and clothes during its flood situation.
Another important element which has contributed in promoting cooperation is the introduction of the visa system between Bangladesh and Pakistan.
On August 10, 1983 Pakistani Foreign minister Lt. General Shahibjada Yakub Khan came to Bangladesh. In a joint communiqué it was stated that different types of visa including tourist visa will be introduced. However, no visa will be required for the transit passengers for 72 hours.

Teachers and scholars of the universities and other educational institutions of Bangladesh and Pakistan as well as scientific and industrial training for their students on mutual basis. They would also exchange radio and T.V. programs and films and promote free flow of books and magazines under their existing laws and regulations.
Apart from the bilateral context Bangladesh and Pakistan have closely cooperated in international forums. Bangladesh and Pakistan are of the opinion that a zone of peace in the Indian Ocean could be established by eliminating the rivalry of the great powers and creating conditions of security for all the countries of the region. Both the countries pledge their adherence to the charter of Islamic conference (OIC).
They have maintaining trade relations since president Zia’s visit to Pakistan in 1977. In economic field the main issue of conflict has been the question of division of assets until 1971 between Bangladesh and Pakistan.
In the last five years Pakistan has become one of the biggest buyers of Bangladesh jute and tea. Bangladesh has also imported huge quantities of cotton and cloth from Pakistan.
Geographically Bangladesh belongs to the region of South and South East Asia and lies as a bridgehead between South and South East Asia. The Bengalees are not culturally as close to the Arabs, Persians or Turks as the Pakistanis or North Indians are. Geo-political reality of Bangladesh does not necessitate her closeness with the Muslim world.
i. The viability of Islam as a political ideology.
ii. Development of Bangladesh’s relations with the Muslim states in phases.
iii. Economic aid as an influential factor.
i. Influence dispute over a territory and friendship or hostility among states.

iii. There is a strong opinion in these states to treat Islam as a political ideology even though there are other ideologies.
iv. Islam and Christianity, two competing religion based on state system, after a long period of mutual competition and warfare have reached the inevitable conclusion that neither can impose its legal and political system on the other.
v. Separation between religious doctrines and conduct of foreign relations.
vi. Technological development spread of modern education and influence of European political institutions brought about substantial change in the thinking of the Muslim politicians and intellectuals.
vii. The Muslims wanted to retain religious in the face of any other ideology but rejected the spiritual aspects of the religious at the same time.
The evolution of Bangladesh’s relations with the Muslim countries may be divided into three phases. The first phase began with the emergence of Bangladesh and ended with the recognition of Bangladesh by Pakistan. The second phase began in February, 1974 and ended in August, 1975. The third phase began in post – August 1975 and it still continues.
No Arab country recognized Bangladesh till the beginning of the second half of 1972, Malaysia and Indonesia, the two Muslim states of the South-East Asian region. Malaysia decided to help Bangladesh purchase a Fokker friendship plane by extending the necessary amount as grant. Bangladesh’s membership in the United Nations.

Argentina Corn - Harvest reports keep pointing to potentially record high corn yields across central Argentina. The later yields will not be as good because they will be from areas that are not as productive, but thus far, it's looking really good.
The corn in Argentina is 12.2% harvested according to the Buenos Aires Grain Exchange, which represents an advance of 3.7% for the week. The most advanced corn harvest is in the northern core region and in the province of Entre Rios where the corn is slightly over 50% harvested. This is also where the first corn was planted. Outside of those two areas, the corn is generally less than 10% harvested.
As we have been reporting for the last several weeks, the early corn yields continue to be very good and above initial expectations with many yields above 10,000 kg/ha (154 bu/ac). The Grain Exchange keeps a weekly running total of the corn yields harvested thus far and last week the average is was 9,670 kg/ha (148.9 bu/ac), which was up 4.5 bu/ac from the previous week.
In their weekly crop report, the Buenos Aires Grain Exchange rated the corn at 9.4% poor to very poor and 53.6% good to excellent, which was slightly lower than last week. The soil moisture for the corn was rated 16.3% short to very short and 27.3% optimum to surplus, which was defiantly dryer than last week. The early planted corn is 63% mature and 22% harvested.
Argentina Soybeans - The recent weather in Argentina has been on the wet side which has slowed the dry-down of mature soybeans, resulting in a slow start to the early harvest. The weather over the weekend was wet especially across northern Argentina, but the forecast for this week looks dryer especially across central Argentina. At the end of last week, the Argentine soybeans were 1.6% harvested compared to 8.8% last year. Early yields are in the range of 3,000 to 5,000 kg/ha (44.4 to 74.0 bu/ac).
These early yields will probably be some of the best of the season because they are from the core production areas where the weather has been favorable for most of the growing season. There are still some issues with the soybeans in the southwestern production areas where the weather has been dryer than normal and they had an early light frost several weeks ago.
In their weekly crop report, the Buenos Aires Grain Exchange rated the soybean crop at 9.3% poor to very poor and 51.3% good to excellent, which was slightly lower than last week. The soil moisture for the crop was rated 11.1% short to very short and 35.4% optimum to surplus, which was definitely dryer than last week. The early planted soybeans are 51% mature while the later planted soybeans are 11% mature.

I took a couple of hours off from work this afternoon to make piecrusts and to have a more relaxed entry into the holiday tomorrow. On the drive home the light was beautiful. It had stopped raining but the sky was still dark, dark grey out to the East and the sun setting in the West was making all the reds, yellows, and oranges especially vivid. Once I got in the house I kind of forgot about the light and the colors until I went to do some dishes and looked out the kitchen window. The leaves on our neighbor’s tree across the street have turned bright yellow and about half are still on the tree and half have fallen in a rough circle on the grass and sidewalk below it. The way the light was hitting it all made the scene quite magical. The yellow on the tree and the pool of yellow beneath the tree were both glowing against a backdrop of grey and looked like they were floating. I went outside to our back fence and took a picture that I sent Laura. The little tiny phone picture actually captured the glowy nature of the leaves and the light and she was duly awed.
When I went outside about 15 minutes later to give another neighbor a lemon for her apple pie, the light had moved on and the scene was pretty but no longer amazing. At first I felt kind of let down by this but in a funny sort of way, it’s actually a good thing that those incredible light moments don’t last forever since they’d no longer be incredible (special) if they did.
Even though I risk sounding melodramatic, as I struggle to cope with all the sad, nefarious greed threatening to pull us under, one of the things I’m most grateful for are these unpredictable shimmering moments of light. They are especially precious when I can share them with someone. And they provide much needed solace either way.
I hope you get to have some moments of shimmering light and that you allow them to change you.
May we be safe enough to be able to look around and notice the light.
May we be happy when there are sun breaks.
May we allow both light and dark to teach us about ourselves and what we need.
May we help each other navigate our dark and our light times peacefully and kindly.
