[Goanet] Everyday is a gasp for democratic air
- Goanetter Francis Rodrigues (Vasco/Toronto) book launch in London, England @ the World Goa Day festivities on 15 Aug at 7pm Details http://www.konkanisongbook.com - As a citizen of India I really do feel saddened sometimes because every single day is a gasp for a democratic breath of air. Hardly has a week passed by when the Speaker of the Assembly laid a stake in the heart of democracy by threatening imprisonment, hearkening us back to a time when colonial Portuguese officers had a field day with ice-cubes at the Fort Aguada, when the HJS reared its ugly head to threaten us with a dagger at the heart of freedom of expression. I really do feel sad having lived now for quite a few years in Western democracies, to see how very hard, we Indians have to fight to preserve ours. I wonder if Nehru, when he delivered his speech at the stroke of midnight thought our tryst with destiny would be so torturous. Did he believe in all optimism that we would sail into democracy, mature overnight into responsible citizens, produce a polity with integrity and become a major power in the sub-continent. All of these dreams seem to have failed us. Failed us to the extent where his own great-grandson talks of cutting hands. Still, one must have hope. It just gets tougher to find it. Best, selma
[Goanet] ... Khell Tiatr Festival created a huge hungama
- Goanetter Francis Rodrigues (Vasco/Toronto) book launch in London, England @ the World Goa Day festivities on 15 Aug at 7pm Details http://www.konkanisongbook.com - [Goanet] ... Khell Tiatr Festival created a huge hungama Thanks Eddie for coming back on this. And that’s a real ‘Goemkarponn’ I did not know there was one from another until I read yours. However, I did get the same on another forum where I did not approve (as a moderator). It’s like ‘ Taka Khorpotalem eka kodden ani tannem khorpilem dusrech kodden’ Whatever it is, I am sure, could have put in a different way but some people prefer the harsh or rude way. It’s true, one can read one’s personality through his or her writings. At the most, the director could do was to remove the stubborn journalist by use of force say using security men (plenty available at KA inside and outside the hall) rather than stopping the show thus causing inconvenience or delays to the audience who paid for the show. Some people, instead, use such occasion for their own or self publicity. (At least we know about the HCN from the director’s mouth) Yet there are some ‘makodd’ here who claim ‘aplench bonk tambddem’ Request: If any one wishes to come back on the subject may do so by changing the subject line to ‘Tiatr Hungama’ etc thus avoiding names which I inadvertently included in the subject line. The same is regretted.

Self Help Group,no less! Helping themselves? .After the Education Minister on TV blacklisted the said NGO, the next day reportedly the same NGO continued to supply meals and the children refused to partake! Now they are making school authorities responsible to check, a teacher to consume food first etc when the checking must be done at source.procurement,hygiene,ingredients used,labour and transportations precautions. Unfortunately we have to pay for it and keep suffering the Tiatre of the government daily, since only the courts can protect us and that avenue is also unfortunately not easily or quickly accessible. --- On Fri, 14/8/09, goanet-requ...@lists.goanet.org wrote: From: goanet-requ...@lists.goanet.org Subject: Goanet Digest, Vol 4, Issue 843 To: goanet@lists.goanet.org Date: Friday, 14 August, 2009, 12:21 PM See the Web's breaking stories, chosen by people like you.

- Goanetter Francis Rodrigues (Vasco/Toronto) book launch in London, England @ the World Goa Day festivities on 15 Aug at 7pm Details http://www.konkanisongbook.com - From: "Mario Goveia" mgov...@sbcglobal.net The Pope's moral blunders on outsourcing S A Aiyar Sunday August 02, 2009 Religion and business rarely mix well. This shows up in the encyclical of Pope Benedict XVI. The encyclical generally supports globalization, but criticizes western companies that outsource business to developing countries. ***Religion should guide business. We should criticise globalization and capitalism, when the system harms the lesser humans... Globalization has its strong and weak points. Capitalism should be moderate. Otherwise, social justice is not met in human relationships... The Pope should be thankful for their largesse or he may have to find a job and do some useful work that generates an income:-)) ***The Holy Father has enough "jobs", his mission is large and his work is for the universal Church and for the world at large. He does not need another "job" for his income... My advice to the Vatican, "Stick to religion and helping the poor, and stay the hell away from economics." ***This advice is faulty. Precisely the Holy Father is teaching the world how to improve the quality of life through genuine economic activity. Regards. Fr.Ivo

Re: [Goanet] HOW MANY AND WHO ARE THE UNINSURED IN THE US
- Goanetter Francis Rodrigues (Vasco/Toronto) book launch in London, England @ the World Goa Day festivities on 15 Aug at 7pm Details http://www.konkanisongbook.com - Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2009 22:26:20 -0700 (PDT) From: lyrawmn There is confusion on the numbers, and characteristics of the uninsured (health) in the US. The information in M. Goveia post is severely at variance with what has been published. Mario responds: My information is less misleading once we factor in reality and common sense than what is insinuated by lyrawmn. To begin with, the common-sense objective should be to help people who really need financial help in obtaining health care coverage, not just everyone who does not have it. There are millions who don't have health insurance who can afford to buy it but haven't done so. It is silly to assume that everyone who does not have health insurance needs taxpayer help in getting it. The statists who want the government to destroy the current American system instead of truly reforming it to help those who need help, estimate the uninsured as 47 million. The extremists inflate this even higher. The realists like myself make common sense adjustments to find those who really need help so we can better help them. The 47 million figure includes everyone who did not have coverage for even ONE DAY during the period, which has nothing to do with how many people should get taxpayer funded assistance. In fact, the average time many working Americans are uninsured is a few months not years. They are uninsured simply because, due mostly to government interference in the free market, tax benefits (social engineering through taxation) and employer/employee expectations, most people get their health insurance at work. So, the average time between jobs and health insurance coverage is a few months, not years. Next, we have 10-12 million ILLEGAL ALIENS that are included in this figure. Thus these are not AMERICANS who tax paying Americans should be helping. This leaves 35 million. Then we have the 30 and under age group who can afford insurance, but choose not to get it. They do not believe that they really need it. Then we have the self employed middle-income people who make over $75,000 a year and also CHOOSE not to have insurance even though they can afford to buy it. In 2007, 17.6 million of the uninsured had annual incomes of more than $50,000 and 9.1 million earned more than $75,000. Then there are millions who ARE eligible for government benefits, who either do not know or do not bother to enroll themselves. Emergency rooms routinely OFFER to help them enroll, but still many do not. Privacy issues? Don't like the government? Don't want to bother? All of the above? When all these factors are considered, the real number of those Americans who through no fault of their own cannot get any health care insurance either through pre existing conditions or are not poor enough to get Medicaid falls to the neighborhood of 12-15 million people. These are the hard core uninsured who really need help and should be helped.
[Goanet] Will the Goan American reactionaries please stand-up
- Goanetter Francis Rodrigues (Vasco/Toronto) book launch in London, England @ the World Goa Day festivities on 15 Aug at 7pm Details http://www.konkanisongbook.com - Hi Bosco, Rather than writing 4 to 5 goanet posts a day, and cause Goanet moderators some pirachit, the reactionary post-master should do some reading. But not the Palin twitter messages! Perhaps the right-winger should read the following post "GOPs misplaced rage" by a leading conservative economist. Bruce Bartlett was one of the original supply-siders, helping draft the Kemp-Roth tax bill in the 1970s. In the 1980s and 1990s, he was a leading Republican economist. He now considers himself to be a political independent. He is the author of Reaganomics: Supply-Side Economics in Action and Impostor: How George W. Bush Bankrupted America and Betrayed the Reagan Legacy . His latest book, The New American Economy: The Failure of Reaganomics and a New Way Forward, will be published by Palgrave Macmillan in October. http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-08-12/the-gops-misplaced-rage/full/ Regards, GL

- Goanetter Francis Rodrigues (Vasco/Toronto) book launch in London, England @ the World Goa Day festivities on 15 Aug at 7pm Details http://www.konkanisongbook.com - Albert writes:A friend of mine narrated this to me " I happened to visit a home for the aged once along with my friend. I met a nice looking Linda there. She was celebrating her 82nd birthday with a very sad face. The table in her room was nicely decorated by the nuns. There was a big extra large flower basket on the table and a nice chocolate cake .Along with me there were other friends who wanted to share with Linda. We sang happy birthday Linda in chorus after the nuns lit a candle for her. She did not move an inch nor was ready to cut the cake. I went to her and in sweet voice said " Linda see how your son has spent so much of money to send this basket and the cake. She got up angrily and took the flower basket and flunged it out through the window. I do not need this. I do not need the cake too. I would have been happy if my son had to come with his family to wish me without flowers. Can flowers replace the love that I have poured on my son ? My only child after four mi scarriages that I had. I only know how many prayers I offered to my almighty to give me this child but what is the use ? He forcebly brought me here, and does not even want to visit me once a month. He sends money through post .What have I done to him that I get this treatment ? " She burst into tears. I had seen lagero munna bai but I was not strong enough to lift the son by his legs and hang him upside down like sanjay Dutt did. Said my friend with tears in his eyes. He asked me " Why are catholics so rude to their parents ? " I do not know. My father died early before I could do him any service though I wanted him. My mother died at 81 and lived happily with me. I was feeling her dynamic power in her when she was alive. We did not have lot of trouble dealing with her old age except for the last eight months that she was bed ridden. She ate very little but loved my children very much. Even though she was old and weak she did some work at least in the house. _ We all see it as it is. But on MSN India, the difference lies in perspective. http://in.msn.com

Re: [Goanet] Internet Wi Fi - Required ...Goa
- Goanetter Francis Rodrigues (Vasco/Toronto) book launch in London, England @ the World Goa Day festivities on 15 Aug at 7pm Details http://www.konkanisongbook.com - Why use a Wi-Fi when on the move? You could use any smartphone and get access to the web. I use an iPhone that I hacked myself. But at home, I use BSNL broadband - which I think is awesome, considering just a few years ago, most Goans didn't have a landline to begin with. I am currently working from Goa - connecting to my office in New York via a broadband and it costs only Rs 750/month - unlimited access. My whole place is hooked up to a backup power system, so whether the current is ON or OFF, my systems are always up. Since it could get cumbersome to disconnect and get fresh connection every time I come to Goa, I have decided to retain my connection all year round, even though I may not use it, for months at a time, when in New York. I see it as only $15 in monthly expense, but its worth the hassle you'd have to go through to get a temp connection every time you come to Goa.

Besides packing 200 in a class there were no forums, project work, assessments etc. The main educational event was the final public exam. If this is the eucational level in Canada it also must be crap. BC Not unusual for you to have had 200 boys and girls in class in your day and certainly not indicative of a lower quality of education due to student numbers.

[Goanet] Workshop on Prevention of Swine Flu in Panaji, Goa !!
- Goanetter Francis Rodrigues (Vasco/Toronto) book launch in London, England @ the World Goa Day festivities on 15 Aug at 7pm Details http://www.konkanisongbook.com - Respected Sir, Greetings, Sir, I would like to humbly draw your attention towards the Global Natural Catastrophe, a deadly pandemic, which is heading towards our Goa- Swine Flu, and which ( when you receive this communication may have taken at least a few dozen human lives in India) has already started showing dangerous signs of spreading at an alarming pace. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the Pune administration which is the epicenter of this deadly virus in India is seriously planning to virtually shutdown the city following the Mexican model resulting in an obvious shift of the epicenter to the State of Goa because of its vulnerability. The Mexican authorities, the origin point of the H1N1 virus, as you may be aware, practically locked down the whole city economy to the check the spread of the viral infection. Thinking that Goa is safe as well as a tourist destination (and with adjacent cities having shut their doors), it is quite likely that all unsuspecting virus-infected tourists from nearby states will gate-crash into Goa to find respite here. This will eventually pose a grave danger to the life and economy of this state, converting it ultimately into the second epicenter of the Swine- Flu Pandemic. Panaji, being the capital city of Goa (you can imagine) will naturally be the worst affected city by this phenomenon in India. National Institute of Virology (NIV) has now declared this virus as airborne!!! You may be aware that the World Health Organization (WHO) has predicted that as time passes and considering the sanitation measures prevailing in Indian sub-continent, at least 33 % of Indian population will be affected with this deadly pandemic. To prevent the Swine Flu pandemic outbreak and to spread awareness about the virus and preventive measure to be taken in event of such an outbreak , Indology Goa in association with some governmental and non-governmental agencies is planning to organise a one day workshop in Panaji, Goa. In this workshop, medical experts from all the major hospitals in Goa as well as renowned medical practitioners from the field of Alophathe and Ayurveda will be invited to deliver their scholarly lecturers about the preventive measure to be taken in this regard. Representatives from all the walks of life in Goa including Hospitality and Tourism, major Industrial Houses, State governments official , academicians, small and medium scale industries, social and charitable organisations, workers union etc will be invited to participate in this workshop to clarifies their doubts about checking the outbreak of Swine Flu in their respective Sector. A free medical check- up camp ( alophathic and ayurvedic) will also be organised in this event. All the participants of this workshop will be given the three layer surgical mask during the proceedings and the expert panel will explain them about tackling the spread of this H1N1 virus along with live demonstration. Free saplings of the ayurvedic Gulvale and Tulsi plants will also be given to the participants along with other promotional literature such as Swine Flu remedial brochures, Vehicle stickers, T-shirts etc. We shall be keep you update about the program schedule of this workshop within a week's time. We also request you to depute maximum representative for this workshop to spread awareness among the masses about this deadly virus. We appeal you to associate with us for this event. We shall not require any monetary support for this event, but only your support in kind and good faith. If you are willing to participate in this event, kindly ask your office to send us an acceptance and confirmation in this regard. Anticipating your wholeheartedly co-operation, Warm regards, Anjali Mohan Rao. -- --- Dr.Anjali Mohan Rao, Chairperson Indology Goa GIRIVAR, Opp.Dhempe College, Miramar Beach, Post-Caranzalem, City-Panaji, Goa 403002 INDIA Phone: 0091-832-2462195 Cellphone: 0091-9422057786 website: http://www.indologygoa.in "All the phenomena of existence are one single thing in the ultimate dimension of the unborn."

They are selfish and our Goan administrators are selfish, self-centered and we should dethrone Them if they don't work fast on this matter..let the Goans know about this and these so called Inefficient ministers must be accountable for any deaths in Goa and these ministers must be Sent to gallows for any deaths in Goa. Thank you, Mr. Bharve. Best wishes Dr. Nicholas Fernandes From:SHRIKANT BARVE Tourist from Maharatra.. may be Swine flue Carrier!
