Would you by any chance happen to be related to an Ashok Chodnakar who apparently sabotaged Gaspar Almedia's computer on a number of ocassions?] I presume you are referring to this Sonali Prabhudesai who has been doing asking some uncomfortable questions on GoaNet. I do not know who she is either but surely her queries should be replied to. Some days back when Allwyn Sequeira asked some questions you wrote that they were valid and had to be answered. What's different now? The heat is getting too close to you? And before you start on that Ashok Chodankar routine again I bid you caution. Ashok Chodankar from Colvale has been working for Al Kharafi in Kuwait for many years now. He in fact works in the same office as Gaspar Almeida. I have met him on at least three occasions and he appears to be a very decent person. On at least two other occasions he has e-mailed me from Gaspar's PC (he does not posess his own PC) asking for some messages to be delivered to his home here. So maybe you better do some cross checking before you get an innocent man, Ashok Chodankar, involved in your name calling. Don't drag everyone into the mud. --- Marlon: [Anyway, to answer your question: No, goanet is not violating yahoogroups policies. For one thing, the mailing list is actually hosted on goacom, not yahoogroups. GOACOM offers this service to goanet for free, with no strings attached. Secondly as was posted by the goanet-admin team, Goanet/Herman collects advertizing money on goanet to support non-commerical activities and promotional activities in Goa. Hence even if Goanet were hosted by Yahoogroups, it would not be breaking their rules as goanet is a non-commerical entity. If asked by yahoogroups, I expect Herman to be able to provide all the necessary documentation/receipts.] Since I have NEVER questioned GoaNet's authority to charge for advertisments, I will not comment. All I had asked for was the advertising RATES which were never forthcoming and still seem very elusive. - Marlon: [Now rather not surpisingly, Ulysses and Gaspar have in private threats raised exactly the same issue as you and have threatened to shut down goanet by bringing this issue up with yahoogroups. You will be happy to know that goanet will continue to function regardless of what they try and do.] I do not believe that Gaspar and Ulysses have ever threatened to 'SHUTDOWN goanet' but since you say they have done so in 'private' e-mails the onus is on you to prove your point and reveal those e-mails. You cannot allude to contents of 'private' e-mails and then refuse to disclose them. Marlon: [If it is anyone who should be worried about violating the rules of yahoogroups, it should be them. They have consistently promoted the floral business of their business partner in Goa on a number of their mailing lists. Since they and their partner obtain clear material and non-material gains through this collaboration, the phrase dont throw stones in glass houses comes to mind.] I highly object to the term 'business partner'. EXPRESSIONS is a proprietorship concern of my wife Beatrice Pinto. Even I am not a 'business partner' in EXPRESSIONS. That aside, in the 4 years of having known Gaspar Almeida and Ulysses Menezes I have NEVER given them a single paisa and nor have they ever asked, or hinted, at any compensation for their efforts. My repeated requests to work out some commission agreement has also been totally ignored. 4 years back when Beatrice first thought of accepting e-mail orders I drafted a sort of scheme and e-mailed it to all my friends and relatives, with instructions to pass it on. One of these reached a Gaspar Almeida, an absolute stranger then, who then e-mailed me and offered to be my 'agent' in Kuwait. Little later this Ulysses Menezes, also an absolute stranger then, e-mailed me asking for a write up about my offer and some photos. Few days later I see a webpage has been put up for EXPRESSIONS at Goa-World.net - free of cost! Ever since then Gaspar and Ulysses have continued to promote EXPRESSIONS for no monetary, or other, benefit

Where is Herman ? Speak up and finish of the matter. Take the payment and subscribe Cecil. Also send me the advertising Tariffs I need to put a few adverts on Goanet.

We know that Goans have once again delivered a fractured mandate, and left the Assembly hung out to dry. In the process; regional parties made a bit of a come-back and the national parties were taught a lesson. The Congress learned that most people are sick of the same robber barons, and that relying exclusively on the communal card to win votes is really stupid. The NCP learned that 1 out of 15 is a joke and that they had better come up with an election agenda that isn't complete gibberish. The BJP learned to pay as much attention to Fundamental Rights as to fundamentalists, not to count their chickens before they hatch, and that arrogance is not bliss. For some reason Dr Willy de Sousa, the NCP's one-man-show, continues to insist that his own version of politics does not constitute defection. Which has led me to the conclusion that the doctor could use an English lesson. The standard dictionary definition of defection is: desertion/abandonment of one's leader, or side, or cause. That is to say: it is the act of departing, not the destination, that is relevant. Whether one leaves to join another party or to form a new one, has nothing to do with the price of tea in China. Leaving, quite simply, constitutes defection, not to mention a betrayal of the electorate. I can't
[Goanet] Re: [goanews] COLUMN -- Whose Sorry Now
Madam Margaret, You write well and I enjoyed your posting. I would however like to add that fractured assemblies are common and I will give you some examples. In Germany the ruling party, the Socialists under Helmut Schroeder rule with the help of the Greens who have garnered a plum ministry namely that of the Min. of Foreign Affairs, Josca Fischer. In France Chirac governed till before the Assembly elections held on the 9th. of this month with those of the centre left though Chirac belongs to the centre right. The efficient Prime minister was from the Socialists. In politics, absolute power corrupts absolutely and it is evident that Bhandodkar, Rane and Sashikala Kakodkar had absolute powers and passed laws unopposed like say the mundcar act. Many of these mundcars do not possess titles to the house but act like the owners. I compare these to a gardeners dog who does not eat cabbages and will not let others do so. Try this for a change. Not possessing titles and having no capital, they are unable to secure loans from banks thereby stiffling the economic growth of Goa. Those who invest are those that have profitted from the system like those Miners (Dempe, Salgaonkar, CMM and all), and those NRI's that earn their money abroad and invest in Goa. I wonder if you are aware that I was defrauded by the Centurion Bank in Mapuca who helped a Parsi Chartered Accountant to forge, withdraw money using my Fixed Deposit receipt. Even money from my savings account was not spared as the CA was paid from this account using a plain note with my forged signiture. I complained to the police who sat on the matter ... Why am I writing all this when I can send you a cutting of the incident. Parrikar was decent and asked the police to get cracking. The BM was arrested. I have seen the roads in Goa under Parrikar's watch. He is a technocrat and ought to be trusted. What does it matter to us if the cat is black (BJP) or white (Congress) provided it catches the mouse and is efficient. The BJ has been the most efficient government even though they formed a coalition. If Parrikar is secure in his Chief Ministership, I am certain that Goa will see more progress than we have seen since Goa was liberated. Mark my word.

[Goanet] FEATURE: The boy who hawked newspapers could become India's first citizen
The boy who hawked newspapers could become India's first citizen (PROFILE) By Deepshikha Ghosh, Indo-Asian News Service New Delhi, June 10 (IANS) The boy who once hawked newspapers rose to become the nation's top scientist and could now become India's 11th president. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam, the ruling coalition's choice for the July 15 presidential election, is at once a missile man, dreamer, dervish of Indian defence and the winner of India's top civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, the jewel of India. At least, these are just some of the terms used to describe the self-effacing man who is credited with catapulting India into the elite club of nuclear nations. Kalam the dreamer has always driven Kalam the scientist. We must think and act like a nation of a billion people, he once said, speaking of his desire to produce a reusable missile, which no country in the world has been able to produce so far. Kalam, who in 1998 was honoured with the Bharat Ratna, last made the headlines in 2001 when he suddenly quit his job as scientific advisor to the Indian government - because he wanted to teach the nuances of science to young children. There is a lot more to the slightly built, silver-haired Kalam, not just the fact that he steered India's missile programme and played a key role in the May 1998 nuclear tests. Kalam was born on October 15, 1931, in a remote district in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. His father rented out boats out to fishermen to pay his son's school fees. Kalam received his secondary education in a missionary school and later graduated in science. In order to contribute in the family kitty, he even delivered newspapers for a while. Kalam went on to study aeronautical engineering at the Madras Institute of Technology and, in 1958, joined the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), from where he moved to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). This was the beginning of a period of eminence. Among his early successes was placing the 35-kg Rohini-I satellite on a low-earth orbit with the SLV-III (satellite launch vehicle). After 19 eventful years in ISRO, Kalam returned to DRDO to head the country's Integrated Missile Development Programme and went on to direct the successful launch of the Agni and Prithvi missiles. In his early career, the only time he went abroad was in 1963-64 when National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) invited him to spend four months at the Wallops Island Rocketry Centre and the Langley Research Centre. Kalam, who is known as a great humanitarian, has also pioneered efforts to provide dual use defence technology. In his own words, one of the happiest moments in his life was the sight of a polio-afflicted child walking with callipers made from lightweight metals used for Indian missiles. The pinnacle of Kalam's success and one that made him a household name in the country was the nuclear blasts in Pokhran in 1998. The triumphant scientist later asserted: Do things yourself. Do not indulge in short-cuts by importing equipment. A devout Muslim, Kalam can recite from the Muslim Koran and the Hindu Bhagvad Gita with equal ease. Friends have often seen him bending over a veena, a string instrument depicted as the celestial music maker of Hindu goddess Saraswati, when he is not writing poetry in Tamil, his first language. Kalam is a vegetarian, a teetotaller and a confirmed bachelor. To his friends and colleagues, he is the star who has always been self-effacing. He has been honoured with many a national award. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1981, the Padma Vibhushan in 1990 and the HK Firodia Award for Excellence in Science and Technology in 1996 to name just a few of the awards that have come his way. --Indo-Asian News Service =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-W-E-B---S-I-T-E-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from GoaNet | http://www.goacom.com/goanet === For (un)subscribing or for help, Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont want so many e=mails?
