[Goanet] OPEN LETTER TO FRANCIS BY DEREK ALMEIDA
Dear Hon. Francisco D'Sousa, ( I FEEL BAD TO ADDRESS YOU AS DEPUTY CM) We, as your well wishers were happy that you would have been our Chief Minister of Goa, and that your intention were firm as all of us heard your voice in all the local and some National channels when you said " I AM EITHER SWORN IN AS CM OR NOTHING" and also you said that you will not work under a JUNIOR, but you made a U-turn, reason is not know to us. You have deceived Goans especially the minority community. What made you to change and that too you have seconded Parsekar which was most damaging. You could have kept quite. Please read the Open Letter to YOU, by Derek Almeida Sub-Editor of NT, published by himself, and you will know where you stand. Very sorry to know that you still do not understand BJP and Parrikar after working for so many years with them. Just wait and you will know in future the style of functioning of Laxmikant Parsenkar as Chief Minister. Today ( 15th Nov) Parrikar said in HCN interview that he could not do anything as the majority of BJP -MLA's were after Parsenkar' post of CM. This is all rubbish. Why at all the 3 observers were required in Goa first of all, just to give the judgement ? Parrikar should have been the final authority and could have gone as per the administrative procedure that Deputy becomes a Chief. ( when your records are clean). This is just an eyewash and to fool you, but not us intelligent Goans. You have done complete damage to Christian- Catholic and not Hindu- Christian. I write this after myself getting suffocated with your U-TURN, Sir. Now you concentrate in same portfolios given by your JUNIOR, just to keep you happy. Please see NO CORRUPTION is continued in BJP administration under Parsenkar. Be strict sir. Parrikar said that he will monitor from Delhi, and see that his Ministers are clean, that means he will use his remote control as he will be coming to Goa often.

[Goanet] Article: Why Germans Work Fewer Hours But Produce More: A Study In Culture
Why Germans Work Fewer Hours But Produce More: A Study In Culture knote.com. Eryn Paul, November 10, 2014 http://knote.com/2014/11/10/why-germans-work-fewer-hours-but-produce-more-a-study-in-culture/ When many Americans think of Germany, images of WWII soldiers and Hitler often come to mind. But what many people don’t realize is that Germany is the industrial powerhouse of Europe, and is a leading manufacturer of goods for export to developing Asian nations. We don’t hear about the superiority of German engineering in Volkswagen commercials for nothing! The economic engine of the EU, Germany single-handedly saved the Eurozone from collapse in 2012. At the same time, German workers enjoy unparalleled worker protections and shorter working hours than most of their global counterparts. How can a country that works an average of 35 hours per week (with an average 24 paid vacation days to boot) maintain such a high level of productivity? Working Hours Mean Working Hours In German business culture, when an employee is at work, they should not be doing anything other than their work. Facebook, office gossip with co-workers, trolling Reddit for hours, and pulling up a fake spreadsheet when your boss walks by are socially unacceptable behaviors. Obviously, in the United States these behaviors are frowned up on by management. But in Germany, there is zero tolerance among peers for such frivolous activities. In the BBC documentary “Make Me A German“, a young German woman explained her culture shock while on a working exchange to the UK. “I was in England for an exchange… I was in the office and the people are talking all the time about their private things… ‘What’s the plan for tonight?’, and all the time drinking coffee…” She was quite surprised by the casual nature of British workers. Upon further discussion, the Germans reveal that Facebook is not allowed in the office whatsoever, and no private email is permitted. Goal-Oriented, Direct Communication Is Valued German business culture is one of intense focus and direct communication. While Americans tend to value small talk and maintaining an upbeat atmosphere, Germans rarely beat around the bush. German workers will directly speak to a manager about performance reviews, launch into a business meeting without any ‘icebreakers’, and use commanding language without softening the directives with polite phrases.Whereas an American would say, “It would be great if you could get this to me by 3pm,” a German would say, “I need this by 3pm”. When a German is at work, they are focused and diligent, which in turn leads to higher productivity in a shorter period of time. Germans Have a Life Outside Work Germans work hard and play hard. Since the working day is focused on delivering efficient productivity, the off hours are truly off hours. Because of the focused atmosphere and formal environment of German businesses, employees don’t necessarily hang out together after work. Germans generally value a separation between private life and working life. The German government is currently considering a ban on work-related emails after 6pm, to counter the accessibility that smartphones and constant connectivity give employers to their employees. Can you imagine President Obama enacting such a policy in the United States? To occupy their plentiful Freizeit, most Germans are involved in Verein (clubs); regularly meeting others with shared interests in their community. Common interests in Germany include Sportvereine (sports clubs), Gesangvereine (choirs or singing clubs), Musikvereine (music clubs), Wandervereine (hiking clubs), Tierzuchtvereine (animal breeding clubs – generally rabbits/pigeons) and collectors’ clubs of all stripes. Even the smallest village in Germany will have several active Vereinen to accommodate residents’ interests. Rather than settling in for a night of TV after work, most Germans socialize with others in their community and cultivate themselves as people. Germans also enjoy a high number of paid vacation days, with many salaried employees receiving 25-30 paid days (the law requires 20). Extended holidays mean families can enjoy up to a month together, renting an apartment by the seaside or taking a long trip to a new, exciting city. Business Respects Parenthood Germany’s system of Elternzeit (“parent time” or parental leave) is the stuff of fantasy for most working Americans. The United States does not currently have laws requiring maternity leave, while Germany has some of the most extensive parental protection policies in the developed world. The downside of these maternity leave benefits is that employers may avoid hiring women (with the fear that they will take advantage of the extensive benefits), and German boardrooms are consistently male-dominated at a higher rate than other developed nations, although the government is working to eradicate this trend.

[Goanet] GBiB: The susegaad life of the average Joao!

Im: http://saligaoserenade.com/feasts-feni-and-firecrackers/ Review by Clarice Vaz clarice...@ymail.com https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=18319020265 - A sneak peek inside this book will lure you within its light-hearted stories with funny illustrations. Here one can walk down memory lane to reminisce and experience the gentle, laid back (read susegaad) life of the average 'Joao'. In this book, Mel tries to bring their traditions and little idiosyncrasies alive -- where children climbed and raided their neighbours fruit trees, when everyone knew each other and you had time to wish your friendly neighbours and passersby. It was a polite, courteous and happy Goa, where celebrations were joyous and unrestrained. A Goa of leisurely afternoon siestas... where the value of a pig was priceless... where dogs, fowls, cows, peacocks and foxes all dotted the landscape. Transport in those days was also cause for much excitement. The 'matchbox' bullock cart was summoned for long journeys. A bicycle parked outside ones driveway indicated wealth. They had brand names Raja, Hercules and Raleigh (for those rich men!) and they were even fitted with a kerosene lantern for night travel! Mel talks about the caminhao (public bus), the village doctor, the village beggars and oddballs, of match making and evil eye, bare feet football and bullfights! What makes FFFs such a delightful read is that it reminds the older generation of the 'good old days' and it gives the younger ones a glimpse of their heritage. The illustrations are simple, but brilliantly authentic and full of tradition and rural folklore. Only limited copies are available.

[Goanet] Neo Goan learns Konkani in Romi
As per Message appended below, Neo Goan whose mother tongue is Punjabi learns Romi Konkani. Now That makes me feel proud. Konkani is our roots and bond which binds our families together. Why the shame in learning and speaking Our Mother Tongue ? Do we need only our schools to teach it to us ? There are many like me who would also like to polish our knowledge of written Konkani. Due to lack of time and location many are not able to access the programs that are conducted only in Goa. I would like to suggest Mr Jose and Fr Pratap Naik, to have their courses in Video formats. They could be sold in the bookstores or uploaded on Youtube for Konkani lovers Worldwide yearning to learn the written language. It will be a great fruitful Investment for our Mother tongue. There are many programmes to learn on the net. Konkani could also be one of them. This will enable us to learn Our Mother tongue at our convenient time and place. The books can be purchased online or while visiting Goa. They can also be made available in PDF formats For the love of our mother tongue Konkani kindly consider the suggestion Thank you Message: 4 Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2014 02:52:48 -0800 From: Jose Fernandes To: bbcbo...@rediffmail.com Subject: [Goanet] BROADWAY?S CERTIFICATE COURSE IN ROMI KONKNNI HELD Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 A good teacher always takes the level of the students into consideration and I could see that type of teacher in Fr.

Glenton along with Brother Anthony Wolfe played for Churchill last season and both put up a stellar performance against their former employees. Churchill created chances to score, but for the most part defended tightly by putting large numbers of bodies behind the ball. Sporting Goa were severely hindered early on when Joyner Lourenco dislocated his shoulder, but managed to soldier on after receiving treatment on the sidelines. Churchill had the best chance of the first half, when Sunday Nwadialu stinging drive flew just past the post. After resumption, Sporting Goa came out all guns blazing with Victorino Fernandes, Anthony Wolfe and Mauvin Borges coming close to scoring, only to be stopped by the robust defending of Churchill. In the closing stages, Sporting Goa had the chance to steal victory when Royston D’Souza rolled the ball goal across the danger area, but Cajetan Fernandes’ shot flew over the bar. *PHOTO:* Anthony Wolfe sprints forward for Sporting Clube de Goa, at Duler Stadium, Mapusa -- CONNECT WITH US: www.sportingclubedegoa.com www.sportingclubedegoa.wordpress.com www.facebook.com/sportingclubedegoa.officialpage www.twitter.com/sportingoa
[Goanet] From Parrikar to Portugal: Goan Politicians rise
Parrikar ran away from Goa because of plain incompetence. Imagine he could not handle a bunch of Nigerians in a mini conflict, how will he handle those Sri Lankans? BC Jubilation across the state this week when Manohar Parrikar made his first trip back home as India's Union defence minister, the first member of the cabinet ever from Goa. It is a big leap, with the former chief minister of Goa chosen specifically for his plain-speaking competence.

[Goanet] A DARK DAY FOR GOA
With Mickky Pacheco’s induction today as Cabinet Minister it is yet another black day in Goa’s political spectacle. Ironically this government has declared Mickky Pacheco a defaulter for owing the Economic Development Corporation a whopping seven crores. M/s Giovanni & Zibranni Shipping Company Pvt Ltd promoted by Mickky Pacheco and Viola Fernandes had obtained a Rs four crore loan which has now piled up to seven crores with recovery proceedings against Mickky Pacheco having been initiated. On July 17th this year the Bombay High Court at Goa also upheld Mickky Pacheco’s conviction for having in 2006 assaulted a electricity department Junior Engineer. His six month jail sentence is currently on hold as he has knocked the doors of the Supreme Court. Mickky Pacheco is currently also being probed by various authorities for a string of alleged crimes. With this very shoddy background that Manohar Parrikar chose to back Mickky Pacheco to be a Minister only reflects the sordid state of affairs in the BJP which came to power on the promise of a "clean" administration. But how can we expect appointment of clean persons in the State when Prime Minister Narendra Modi despite all his loud talk of Zero tolerance to corruption has himself inducted very tainted ministers to his cabinet. In Maharashtra BJP MLA Suresh Halvankar who has been convicted in a power theft case has this week been appointed as the Chairman of the committee on reforms in the power loom and textiles sector.
