"These close consultations on strategic trade issues are critical to our technological, economic and political relationship and help build the confidence necessary to further broaden high-technology trade, investment, and cooperation," Under Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security David McCormick said at a meeting of the World Economic Forum in New Delhi November 28. The trade talks are part of a regularly scheduled meeting of the U.S.-India High-Technology Cooperation Group (HTCG), which was formed in 2002 to provide a forum for discussing high-tech trade issues. McCormick said that over the past three years, the HTCG has loosened trade regulations on certain dual-use technologies, reduced the licensing time for Indian companies seeking access to U.S. technology and facilitated the exchange of information between the two countries. It also has helped India strengthen its commitment to nuclear nonproliferation through new legislation.

I was also a bit puzzled by seeing the varied structure of the road near the Panjim market, and in front the Kala Academy. Why have tiled roads only for a few square meters ? In fact, these roads are dangerous too, as was proved sometime last year, when two boys (albeit speeding) lost their lives when their bike skidded on the tiled textures in front of Kala Academy. Soham. Is safety of any significance in Goa/India? Do they know what it is? and why? Last time I went to Goa. Some one had dug a hole on the pavement in front of the tourist centre in Panjim. Did the Panjim Tourist Manager do any thing about it. By the time I had left Goa after three month, the hole was still there unfilled (forget about finsishing it to its original state).

[Goanet] Konkani songs and singers
-- | Add your name to the CLEAN GOA INITIATIVE | || | by visiting this link and following the instructions therein | || | http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2005-October/033926.html | -- It's interesting to read Dominic and Joe's writings on Konkani songs and singers. I heard Felcy for the first time at the Soglle Bhagivont tiatr in Dubai. She and her sister sang a tribute song to their dad Rom Tony. I was also pleased to hear Anthony after a very, very long time. Since no playbill, which lists the cast and singers, was provided it was hard to know who is who. One singer, I think Souza Boy or maybe Frances de Tuem imitated old singers such as Kid Boxer, Young Menezes, Remmie Colaco, and newer ones such as Succorino and, I think, Lorna. Both Lorna and Soccorina were part of the group. Lorna sang her old stuff, but missed lines from songs. One doesn't understand why she didn't sing newer songs composed by different people and also why she didn't her tribute song to Chris Perry. The tiatr Roddo Naka by Prince Jacob, which was held the previous day, the organizers sold a folded handbill for 10 dirhams. I bought one to know the cast. There were no names. The handbills had numbers which were drawn for some prizes and the first prize being a ticket to any destination Gulf Air flew. Truly, people suffer in silence because they want to watch the tiatr. Many were standing up with no seats available despite paying 50 dirhams. The organizers, as usual, apologized and, at the same time, appeal to their Goan hearts and for their love of Konkani. Better arrangements must be made for such shows. I am not sure if the organizers make lot of money. People who reserved their seats were shocked to see their seats occupied by others. There was nothing the organizers could do to get these illegal occupants of the go elsewhere. 'The organizeers stock reply: "We are doing it for the love of Konkani and so you can also bear a little discomfort for the language.

-- | Add your name to the CLEAN GOA INITIATIVE | || | by visiting this link and following the instructions therein | || | http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2005-October/033926.html | -- Dear Frederick, I've read your article on the woes of Mr Manuel Caldeira with great interest. I myself have been considering a similar proposition bringing with me a substantial sum of capital, the fruits of my life's efforts. I also have expertise gained in my contact with the West which I would love to share with my brothers and sisters. However, in the wake of your article I have very, very serious doubts and reservations about relocating now and will have to reconder my position and plans. Without commenting on Mr Caldeira's case in particular as the devilish detail is not avaliable to us, I hope the authorities take note of the effect their red tape, bureaucracy and corruption are having on inward investment. Goa, like much of India, is going through nothing short of a revolution, in all its forms. It is stating the obvious to say that the old agrarian/feudal system is in collapse in the face of its collision with the juggernaut of Capitalism (I'm not suggesting that capitalism is the be-all and end- all). Clearly, people who have a vested interest in the old system will attempt to subvert the new; mediocrity clinging to it's comfort zone or jostling for position in the new order and new alliances being forged. Sadly, the effect is to drive away local intellectual and skill capital, not to mention that vital financial investment. It seems like our work must start at a much more fundamental level. You touched on it when you quoted Mr Caldeira's observation that 'some people with a mediocre mentality' inhabit positions of power and decision making. The work, I submit, needs/must be with our young (in order to supplant the old dinosaurs) in the field of education. I do mean EDUCATION, not in its narrow, alienating, rote-learning sence but as a tool to enable us to become fully contributing humans. For the past 100yrs at least Goa, for a whole host of reasons, has had a remittence economy having exported many of its bright and skilled young things. This process must be reversed. Young Goans (across all genders,faiths and political persuasions) of the hightest caliber must be groomed for the mechinations of democracy (the notion that we don't have to kill each other if we disagree is learned behaviour); must be enabled to develop a stomach for the cut and thrust of everyday politics. After all, if we keep migrating out who will be the honest, educated cop, who will be the honest, educated judge, who will be the honest, educated mamladhar,surpunch or politician? Who will be the honest builder/contractor and honest fishmonger?...and on and on. But if the young stay, participate fully in Goa's vibrant, changing situation, indeed, be the instruments of that change, then we might begin to have hope for the future. It is they who will create a new world, one with a level playing field for all, one based on merit, one that aspires to optimise the gifts to realise our potential as human beings. A tall order and idealistic? Yes, and why not? The world we inhabit is one we create with our collective minds, spirits and wills. It is we who will create our future; who else? It is we who must take responsibility for it. When I've spoken to young Goans in Goa lately the common call is towards the mirage of the West, a mirage my grandfather, father and I were seduced by since the 1870s. Here are some truths..those of us who have migrated know this but rarely share it: for the vast majority of us, life abroad isn't a bed of roses! Sure, we've made some money, sure we can be 'flash' every time we come down to Goa with our $$s and ££s, but if truth be told, most of us live pretty mediocre lives abroad rarely climbing to the pinnacles of our professions, content to be the executors of the dreams of others, rarely entrepreneurs, content to be 'techno-collies' (a term I have coined for the IT worker) - and we do this in the coldest/hottest and most miserable of environments. I say to all young Goans in Goa, stay right where you are. Why be a COOLIE in the cold when you can be a KING in paradise?!! Stay where you are but acquire the skills and knowledge for the coming changes, for you are in paradise already but make it a paradise of YOUR choosing. Forgive me if I've rambled on and on a bit. Perhaps this is the forum for us to begin talking about how we put in place practical steps that will make Goa a 1st Class place to live and work in for al
[Goanet] Re: World AIDS Day
-- | Add your name to the CLEAN GOA INITIATIVE | || | by visiting this link and following the instructions therein | || | http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2005-October/033926.html | -- Will our dreams die young?India's promise is threatened by a potential pandemic. A reminder from David C Mulford, the US ambassador to India, on World AIDS DayToday is World AIDS Day. This day represents an opportunity for everyone concerned with this devastating disease to come together in a spirit of remembrance for those who have died from it, compassion for those who are suffering today, and commitment to help others remain free from infection. Despite the continuing tragedy of HIV/AIDS, there is a growing basis for hope. The successes achieved through the United States partnership with India in fighting HIV/AIDS demonstrate that action can make a difference. The theme of this year's World AIDS Day is "Keep the Promise." To me, World AIDS Day is not only about keeping the promise, but also about taking action. The United States and India are doing just that. At their historic meeting in July 2005, US President George W. Bush and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh made a commitment to strengthen cooperation and combat HIV/AIDs at a global level through an initiative that mobilises private sector and government resources, knowledge, and expertise. This is a call to action. The private sector, business sector, civil society, and religious communities in India must join together with the government to resist complacency and expand their actions in waging the battle against HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS is one of the greatest threats to Indiaâs desire to become a more productive and prosperous nation. Already, there are over five million Indians infected, and new infections are occurring every day. It is estimated that each hour, 64 new people are infected. The epidemic is shifting from urban to rural areas, and increasingly more women are being infected. Youth - India's next generation of leaders are at serious risk. And prevalence rates in the general population are also on the rise. But action brings hope. The Government of India has taken the lead with numerous steps to stop the epidemic by mobilising its resources, knowledge and expertise to fight the disease. It has established The National AIDS Council, chaired by the Prime Minister, which comprises thirty ministries with specific budget resources dedicated to increase HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention activities. The National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) is also scaling up its activities and preparing for a broader national response under the third phase of the National AIDS Control Program. And the Government of India took an ambitious step when it announced it would provide free anti- retrovirals to 100,000 people by 2007. We recognise and applaud these actions. Some Indian corporations are leading the way in combating HIV/AIDS in the workplace. Tata took an early stand to protect its workforce from HIV/AIDS. Other leaders include Bajaj Auto, Bharat Petroleum, Steel Authority of India Limited, Hero Honda, Larsen and Toubro Limited and Godrej Industries. The US is working with the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) and other associations to expand that agreement and, together, have reached nearly 700 companies who have committed to HIV/AIDS prevention and care programs. These bold initiatives create momentum for change. America has kept its promise and is now working in partnership with 123 nations - including India - as part of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) to support sustainable, locally-driven responses to the pandemic. In 2005, we provided $30 million towards AIDS prevention and care in India. US government agencies are working in high prevalence states, including the Northeast, to build the capacity of healthcare providers and public health professionals to make available quality prevention and care for people living with HIV/AIDS. In addition, the agencies are concentrating on the states of Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, where HIV prevalence is higher. Focussed and consistent action yields success. As a result of intensive prevention and vigorous surveillance efforts by the US, and India's bi- lateral AIDS Prevention and Control Project (APAC), overall HIV infection rates are on a downward trend in Tamil Nadu. APAC provides a strong model for other states to replicate. US and Tamil Nadu authorities have also developed HIV/AIDS treatment and care facilities

[Goanet] How banning DDT is killing people in the tropics
-- | Add your name to the CLEAN GOA INITIATIVE | || | by visiting this link and following the instructions therein | || | http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2005-October/033926.html | -- DDT Is Only Real Weapon to Combat Malaria Thursday, October 27, 2005 By Steven Milloy During the few minutes you spend reading this column, malaria will kill six Africans and sicken about 3,000 more, mostly children and pregnant women -- a rate of more than one million deaths and 500 million illnesses annually among the 2.2 billion people who live in malarial regions like Africa. Theres legislation moving through the Senate right now intended to reduce this tragic toll. U.S. taxpayers spend about $200 million annually on malaria control efforts. Ironically, almost none of this money is spent to kill or repel the mosquitoes that spread disease. The money is instead spent on anti-malarial drugs and insecticide-treated bed nets that arent very effective. Bed nets are often torn. They are uncomfortable on hot African nights and may get kicked off. There may not be enough nets for every family member or people whoare still up and about at sunset when the mosquitoes arrive for their night feeding. Anti-malarial drugs are in short supply. The U.S. Agency for International Development hopes to have 55 million pediatric doses for 2006 leaving the other 445 million people on their own to battle with malaria without any drugs. Although researchers are working to develop an anti-malarial vaccine, there is little prospect for one in the next 10 years. Its a grim reality, but it doesnt have to be. We have the technology to make a large dent in this tragedy, if only we could rid ourselves of the most infamous environmentalist myth of all-time, our irrational fear of the insecticide DDT. As discussed in JunkScience.coms 100 Things You Should Know About DDT, the Rachel Carson-Silent Spring-inspired campaign against DDT was utterly detached from reality. DDT did not cause declines in populations of great birds like the bald eagle and the peregrine falcon. These bird populations were threatened before DDT had even been invented ,thanks to over-hunting, habitat destruction, and egg collectors. The bird populations rebounded, in fact, during the period of the greatest use of DDT. No scientific experiment has ever shown that typical levels of DDT found in the environment cause the thinning of bird egg shells a mechanism by which DDT was alleged to have harmed birds. While a host of natural and artificial factors have been scientifically identified as potentially contributing to egg shell-thinning, typical environmental levels of pesticide residues arent among them. DDT has also never been credibly linked with cancer or non-cancer health effects in humans. What really drove that point home to me was a recent visit to the Imperial War Museum in London, where I saw a display about the DDT de-lousing that was done to liberated World War II concentration camp victims. DDT was used to save their lives and despite the extremely fragile state of their health during such use, no ill-effects among the survivors have been attributed to DDT in the medical literature. DDT was ultimately banned in the U.S. in 1972 because of politics, not science. For no stated reason, then-EPA Administrator William Ruckleshaus overruled a finding of DDTs safety by an EPA administrative law judge. Evidence was later discovered identifying Ruckleshaus as a fundraiser for the Environmental Defense Fund -- the activist group spearheading the anti-DDT campaign. Of course, by the time Ruckleshaus banned DDT, malaria in the U.S. and Europe had essentially been eradicated so the insecticide was no longer needed. Although DDT was also used some say over-used in U.S. agriculture, economical substitutes could be had. But there is no economical substitute for DDT when it comes to malaria in poorer regions of the world. Other chemicals are too expensive and dont work as well for the sort of widespread spraying needed to control mosquitoes in Africa. While DDT has not been officially banned in Africa, its use is discouraged by limited production and cumbersome environmentalist-designed rules on use and handling. The European Union, which environmentalists often lead by the nose, has even threatened a ban on agricultural imports from countries that use DDT. But when DDT is available, the results are nothing short of spectacular. Indoor spraying with DDT, for example, reduced malaria cases and deaths by nearly 75 percent in Zambia over a two-year period and by 80 percent in South Africa in just one year. DDT works like no
[Goanet] Kator re Bhaji - Support the Arts!
-- | Add your name to the CLEAN GOA INITIATIVE | || | by visiting this link and following the instructions therein | || | http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2005-October/033926.html | -- On the 14th and 15th of December The Mustard Seed Art Company will be presenting a play "Kator re Bhaji" (Through Corridors of Power). The play will be screened at the mini outdoor auditorium at the Kala Academy in Panjim at 7 p.m. on both days. This is part of a bigger project "Visual Arts & Theatre Festival" co-ordinated by Fundacao Oriente and Kala Academy. It brings together artistes from Theatre, Painting, Photography etc and has interpretations and interplay between these fields. What emerges is bound to be impressive. "Kator re Bhaji" is a play on Abbe Faria and is scripted and directed by Isabel Santa Rita Vas. The play is not biographical but rather a fictionalised narration as seen by different characters. It is a very complex script (I have read it!) and hopes to analyse what the Abbe, a brown skinned man in 18th century Europe, must have gone through in the pursuit of his theories. It examines his human side and the mores of the times. Very experimental. I interacted closely with Isabel when we made our documentary on Abbe Faria. Her energy and enthusiasm is inexhaustible. And her determination to see that this great Goan be given his rightful place in history. But let me come to the main point of this posting. When we set out to make our documentary on Abbe Faria we were not only amateur first-time filmmakers, we also had no funding. While fine tuning the script with Isabel I too got fascinated by the Abbe and decided that we had to see this project through - whether funded or not. With a borrowed DV camera, a tripod and loads of amateurish enthusiasm, we went around on my motorcycle interviewing people and filming on location at Panjim, Old Goa, Colvale, Candolim and Margao. At that time, last December, my good friend Maximillan Schecker was down on holiday from Germany. Maxi is a young professional, experienced cinematographer and was crucial in showing us the organised way of going about things. He sacrificed many days of his holiday to be our guide. Once we had all our footage we approached Allain Saldanha of Digital Magic who not only did a fantastic job in putting our story together slickly but also charged us just a fraction of his normal professional charges for his studio time and equipment use. But I am digressing... maybe I should save it for my Award Acceptance Speech. Any Award Committees out there listening? Just kidding. The point I am trying to make is that we went through a lot of expenses in terms of time, effort and money to make the documentary celebrating Abbe Faria. Both Isabel and me work for a living and we had to squeeze out whatever spare time we could for this project. And of course there were expenses - most of which were borne by Isabel. We did make some attempts at obtaining funding but were disillusioned by the process. Government institutions require a lot of red tape to be cut and the backing of politicians who demand their pound of flesh and servitude. So, being proud Aldonkars, we did it ourselves! Fortunately we could. The movie has been since screened publicly at many places. We have distributed the VCD/DVD absolutely free of cost to people who want to arrange for a public screening. I plan to put it up on a website for anyone to download free of cost. We don't want compensation for our expenses. We want that Abbe Faria's name and work be remembered and celebrated. That is reward enough. Now for this play "Kator re Bhaji" obviously there are expenses involved. Rehearsals have been going on since early October. To defray expenses The Mustard Seed Company is printing Donation Coupons of Rs. 100/- that will serve as Tickets for the play. I know for a fact that these donations will not cover all the expenses that have gone into making this play possible. I'm doing my part by designing the Tickets and paying for their printing. I have no involvement in the play and am just a close friend of Isabel's. I'm not a great fan of theatre but have seen many Mustard Seed productions and am amazed at what a talented cast can produce - with little or no resources. All the Mustard Seed Theatre Group members give of their time free of cost but obviously there are expenses involved in travelling and eating and costumes and... Experimental theatre such as this, I feel, should be promoted and supported. If any of you wish to contribute, with no strings attached, towards subsidizing the sta

[Goanet] Goa: No certificate to marry without AIDS-free certificate
-- | Add your name to the CLEAN GOA INITIATIVE | || | by visiting this link and following the instructions therein | || | http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2005-October/033926.html | -- A POSITIVE STEP SOON No marriage certificate without AIDS-free certificate in Goa PANJIM, Dec 2: Health Minister Dayanand Narvekar said that the government would soon amend the Civil Code to make AIDS-free certificate mandatory at the time of marriage registration. Chief Minister Pratapsing Rane also called for creating greater awareness among the people against the dreaded disease and added that the NGOs can play a vital role to support the government's efforts to combat AIDS. Both were speaking at a programme organised by the Goa State AIDS Control Society to launch the campaign on HIV/AIDS to commemorate World AIDS Day at NIO Hall, Dona Paula. Narvekar said there were around 12,000 people living with HIV/AIDS in Goa and that maximum reported cases belong to the age group of 15 to 40 years. He strongly stressed the need to take up effective and sustainable steps to reduce spread of new infections particularly among the youth.

The trio was split after Remmie (Rem) of Vasco left for Gulf and had once again joined the trio after his return from the Gulf. In between Josephine used to join the trio. Fausto Domnic wrote: It is the first song of Rom Tony's first cassette titled "KUDDI BHOINN" - Rom and Rod. At the time of the release of the cassette, Rom and Rod were a famous duo, which later on became Rom-Rem-Rod trio. The trio became very popular because they sang "zupatteo" about Goan politics and politicians -- |Goa - 2005 Santosh Trophy Champions | || | Support Soccer Activities at the grassroots in our villages | | Vacationing in Goa this year-end - Carry and distribute Soccer Balls | --
[Goanet] IFFI
-- | Add your name to the CLEAN GOA INITIATIVE | || | by visiting this link and following the instructions therein | || | http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2005-October/033926.html | -- It really pains me to read the reactions of GL (30/11) re IFFI, although I dont blame him. Working in a corporate environment, we (me included) have developed insensitiveness to the common man and hence sometimes we dont see beyond our nose. It is not a matter of hospitals and schools that we Goans or citizens of India need, we are not asking for any handouts from the Govt.; what is desired are basic needs - infrastructure i.e. potable water, roads, transportation, primary health centres, jobs, educational institutions, justice, etc. etc. This basic infrastructure is enshrined & covered by the Constitution of India and I guess is it too much to ask?? From Siolim to Keri (including Morjim & Aswem) there are hardly any hospitals or primary healthcare centres although the Government of the day earns several hundreds of crores/annum on this stretch alone in terms of tourist activity during the season. I am sure many Goanetters will bear with me that there are several areas in n around Goa that have been neglected of basic needs n infrastructure. Only when we demand, push, coerce, pressurise the politicians and/or the administration, it dawns on them to do the needful; otherwise it is hunky dory. Perhaps the silent Goanetters can also chip in with their reactions? Chris Fernandes Message: 15 Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2005 7:20:40 -0500 From: Gilbert Lawrence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Goanet] Remo and IFFI I was surprised to read the post on Remo's reactions vis-a-vis IFFI In many respect it reflects a typical Goan reaction. But who are hurt by Remo's actions? 1. The charitable causes that his donation supported last year and this year if he had participated in the events. 2. The many Goans whose livelihood depends on tourism (conservatively - 30% of Goa's economy). 3. Goan image - that Goa cannot pull-off a national meeting / festival. 4. If the next IFFI is not held, that's Rs- 100 crore less in Goa's economy and the lakhs individual visitors spend during their stay in Goa. -- |Goa - 2005 Santosh Trophy Champions | || | Support Soccer Activities at the grassroots in our villages | | Vacationing in Goa this year-end - Carry and distribute Soccer Balls | --
