[Goanet-News] Arte Palmarica... escrita por um padre da companhia de Jesus
Dear all: I would like to have this book translated in Goa. Please see if you could help me to!

By Souvenir Committee http://www.mail-archive.com/goa...@lists.goanet.org/msg26280.html In the Central Library, Panjim (Goa), a book titled 'Arte Palmarica' explains the technique of growing more and better coco trees in a given space and the manner of growing them. The anonymous work is attributed to a Jesuit Brother who cultivated the farms entrusted to his care. The work and the knowledge implied seems to have made a big difference to the Portuguese coastal territories. An anonymous traveller voyaging along the west coast of India remarked that the stretches of land which had come under Portuguese rule at some time or other are marked with denser coco-tree-cultivation than other territories along the same coast.

No 'invented' proof just the facts, Sir! Let me reiterate what I have already said earlier. Even when every ingredient of a dish is brought from the market, we cannot say that the dish itself has been procured from the market; this holds true even when not even one small item has been added from the kitchen garden. Having said that, let me cite some differences between the 'ladainha' SUNG in Goa and the PRINTED prayers in Latin and Portuguese. Kyrie eleison occurs twice in the printed litany but is sung only once. In the Salve Rainha that we sing, we find the words e depois deste desterro NOSSA mostrai (Is this how it is in the Portuguese prayer? To my mind, it is not even grammatically proper Portuguese.) Towards the end of the same, we sing sejamos dignos das promessas DAS PROMESSAS de Cristo DA PROMESSA DE CRISTO Amen JESUS. (The capitalized words are extra.) The orasanvam (hymns) to saints, Our Lady etc. in Konkani certainly could not have been imported from Portugal. I am not sure whether the above will meet JC's requirements. But this is all I can do.

I request that he takes this one village further and puts in some sense into specific corrupt Colva Panchayat Members, who are blinded by huge incentives via Mega-Projects, at the cost of destroying my beautiful village. Also, I would like to remind Mickky, that he had taken a similar stand in 2007 at the Benaulim Gramsabha and would like to know, if there was any positive action taken by him on the same. Finally, I wonder if the MLA from the Neighboring Constituency of Navelim i.e. PWD Minister Mr. Churchill Alemao has done anything to stop the Mega-Projects; surely as a person who once formed the Save Goa and also reportedly is concerned about Global Warming, he should have done something!!

[Goanet] Infrastructure Development Is The Need Of The Hour
--- Sign the Petition requesting The Honble Minister of State for Environment and Forests (I/C) to maintain the moratorium on issuing further environmental clearances for mining activities in Goa http://goanvoice.org.uk/miningpetition.php --- Infrastructure Development Is The Need Of The Hour It is indeed good to know, that the Prime Minister and the Planning Commission are showing, the desire to revamp the infrastructure in the country, as per the R T Minister Mr. Kamal Nath, starting 2012, it will be the decade of infrastructure. No doubt late, but anytime, better than never, is what comes to mind. Under the 12th five year plan, the centre proposes, to double the infrastructure spending, to one trillion dollars. It is a very beefy amount indeed, but deemed fit to meet the needs of growing and glowing India. The authorities will have to make sure, that utmost efforts are made to translate this beefy talk into colossal action. Infrastructure development is the need of the hour. It is most certainly a welcome action in the right direction. The bug from Delhi must have flown to Goa, as few days ago, our very own CM said, that greater stress would be given to infrastructure development in the state. In case of Goa it is much easier said, than done. The track record of Goa, as far as performance is concerned, is abysmal and the Planning department's forays leave much to be desired, and should be rightly named as the non planning department. In Goa we are still surviving on more than two decades old infrastructure, planning departments are suppose to plan for adequacies, a couple of decades ahead, taking into consideration the fast growing needs, of the fast growing people, but unfortunately in Goa our politicians and bureaucrats alike, certainly lack the required foresight, as their sights are locked and hooked only on accumulation of wealth and power for themselves. The cruel paradox is that, insatiability and self indulgence, which many of us find repulsive, seem to be, an inherently 'natural' phenomena in most of our politicians. As a result of the prevailing high level of corruption and greed in Goan politics, the developmental progress has taken a heavy beating and has suffered sever setbacks, as the policies of our Government are neither seminal nor enlightening, but seem to be scattershot combination of inept and derogatory measures rather than cohesive, constructive and viable strategies for development. For infrastructural development, land is the most essential or pivotal commodity, in Goa because of the destructive development and the fraudulent large scale sale of communidade land and encroachment on the remaining, land has become a very scarce commodity, and to add to the woes, Government has acquired disproportionate amount of land in the name of SEZ, the coastal areas have been taken up by the CRZ and the forest area and mountains have been hijacked by miners and the common man is left with very little to squat on, this has set extremely dangerous precedent, and if not tackled now could be disasterours for the future. Tolerance and forbearance of the Goan people, should not be mistaken for lack of interest or timidity or even cowardice by our politicians, just thinking that we are on the right track, will not help us because, even if we are on the right track, if we don't move along with the flow, there is a distinct possibility that we could get run over. Goa badly needs to upgrade and out grow it's infrastructural inadequacies, so as to help growth, because infrastructure development does help to fuel economic growth in more ways than one. I sincerely hope that our politicians will work for the growth and prosperity of Goa and Goans rather then their own.

[Goanet] Russians in search of Indian paradise in Goa
--- Sign the Petition requesting The Honble Minister of State for Environment and Forests (I/C) to maintain the moratorium on issuing further environmental clearances for mining activities in Goa http://goanvoice.org.uk/miningpetition.php --- Russians in search of Indian paradise in Goa Tired of city life, Russians are increasingly taking time out in Goa – and some aren't going home. But now India has increased visa restrictions in an attempt to curb the influx Five years ago, Yulia Solovyeva's life was like that of any other young professional coming from the provinces to Moscow in search of a career. Mornings began with a quick cup of coffee in a tiny rented room, a walk through slushy streets to the metro, carriages packed with tired faces, and on to the office where she worked as an interpreter. I felt like I lived in a cage, says Solovyeva, relaxing in her Goa home, legs folded into the lotus position. We smoked cigarette after cigarette in constant stress; I could never imagine raising children in that aggressive Moscow environment. And so, like thousands of other restless young Russians unhappy with city life, she headed to the Indian state of Goa in search of shanti – inner peace. The Russian exodus to Goa has become a trend, and many are moving there for good. Cheap daily charter flights are now carrying thousands of Russians to the former Portuguese colony famous for its beaches and laid-back mood that have been popular with British ravers and drop-outs for decades. The allure of India has even spawned a best-seller in Russia, The Goa Syndrome, a book about living and working in Goa by Alexander Sukhochev – also known as DJ Sa Shanti, a resident of the Indian state since 2003. Solovyeva's husband Timofei prefers to describe the drift of Russians to Goa as a movement of up-lifters rather then down-shifters, the term used in the West. The Solovyevas' two children were born in Goa. Their son's name is Om and their daughter's name is Uma after the Hindu god Shiva's wife. There are already two Umas in the growing Russian community and more could be on the way: the community has celebrated a baby boom in the last few years. Like many other Russians, the couple set up their own business in Goa. Our yoga resort was the first business on this street five years ago, and now we have dozens of businesses along this shore, says Timofei during a tour of his neighbourhood in Arambol in northern Goa. Flyers in Russian are pinned to palm trees advertising yoga, massage, traditional Indian music and dance classes for visitors. Ilya Demenkov, 27, grew tired of his work as a computer programmer at a Moscow IT company. He flew to Goa last year to realise his dream of opening a kitesurfing school. I came here to begin my own business and find a girlfriend, he says. Alla Duhl, a St Petersburg painter, found that she could live on just over £300 a month in Goa, including rent for a studio and a room in a house with a tropical garden. Maybe a British lady would find this environment lacking comfort, but we are used to crowded buses and dirty streets, she says, so Goa feels like home to us. Duhl, who paints portraits of local people on pieces of antique dark wood, says she planned to exhibit and sell her art pieces this summer, during one of her short visits to Russia. But the influx has also raised some concerns in India. Last year, 80,000 Russians flew into Goa, and, according to the Indian embassy in Moscow, 1,400 did not return home before their visas expired. Some tourists decide to stay and live in India permanently, says the embassy's secretary. Some, we hear, even burn their Russian passports to break off all the connections with home. However, as of February this year visa rules have been tightened for Russians and Western Europeans visiting India. After certain individuals linked to the terrorist attacks in Mumbai used tourist visas to spend extended periods in the country, now they are only issued for a month at a time. Even though the rules have been changed for everybody, the Russians still feel singled out. The president of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Goa, Laxmikant Parsenkar, said that Russians should have fun, spend money and go back rather than start businesses. Indeed, the highly popular city of Morjim seeks a ban on Russian businesses after a taxi driver was killed in a scuffle with a Russian citizen. On their return to the cold of Russia, some fans of India try to preserve their state of shanti. Increasingly, Russian cities have yoga clubs, and practice of the physical and mental discipline has taken off after being barely visible just a few years ago. A new chain of Indian stores, The Way to Yourself, offers everything from Indian tea to little

[Goanet] CONSUMER ALERT: Talk 'conciliation' first, let court be last resort !
--- Sign the Petition requesting The Honble Minister of State for Environment and Forests (I/C) to maintain the moratorium on issuing further environmental clearances for mining activities in Goa http://goanvoice.org.uk/miningpetition.php --- - Do GOACAN a favour, circulate this email to your family members, relatives, neighbours and friends. Help other CONSUMERS to be better informed. - -- Talk ‘conciliation’ first, let court be last resort ! - by FRANKY GRACIAS A prominent movie house in the city had to tender an apology in a newspaper for a wrong advertisement for the price of a ticket after a couple complained to the Consumer Conciliation Committee (CCC) attached to the Civil Supplies Department formed especially to look after consumer grievances. The movie house had advertised a ticket for Rs 100 in the ad but the couple had to pay Rs 120 for the show. They paid the sum and watched the movie but later decided to teach the movie house a lesson to make it realise it shouldn’t take customers for a ride. A complaint to the conciliation committee brought the theatre’s official before the CCC at Junta House which heard the matter after which an apology was issued in the same newspaper that had carried the Rs.100 ticket ad. Officials in the know of the operation of the CCC mention the couple’s grievance was not about the Rs 20 extra they had to pay for the movie show, but the way in which the people at the counter behaved after the ad was mentioned to them. They said more and more people were approaching the committee formed as per the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act with even the smallest of matters, a sign indicating customers are now becoming more and more aware of their rights for better service. “The movie theatre case was a unique one, but the committee which has been operating for the last few years has heard and settled many disputes pertaining to prices of goods, blunders at tailoring shops, beauty parlour goof-ups, flight ticket refunds, spoilt milk packets, insurance cases, phone line complaints, builder matters, etc.,” the officials mentioned. Conciliation committees save courts several litigations that would arise out of matters coming to the former. These types of committees operate at several courts in the country, but Goa is among the first few states to have a conciliation committee hearing consumer grievances exploring potential solutions and bringing about a negotiated settlement. The CCC that started a few years ago in the State on the initiative of then Assistant Director Civil Supplies Ashutosh Apte meets once in a month on the fourth floor (1st lift) at Junta House and has settled even the smallest of smallest grievances. Say Amita Salatry and Roland Martins members of the Goa State Consumer Protection Council, who conduct the proceedings of the CCC, “The basic purpose of this committee is to build confidence in the customer. Here one can come with the smallest of complaints.” Both, Salatry and Martins are members of the CCC. They mention it is surprising to observe consumers who have come with complaints at the hearings give solutions and proposals to the opposite party on how to improve services. “Suppose there is no settlement in a matter a failure report is prepared and after that the complainant is free to approach the designated consumer court,” both inform. Salatry and Martins observe, “Conciliation differs from arbitration and the proceedings held at the CCC have no legal standing and it can’t order. What we do is bring both parties face to face and work out a settlement saving the courts hundreds of litigations that would arise out of trivial issues.” They add, “Once a settlement is reached CCC draws consent terms by which the parties have to settle their dispute. One must realise even the smallest complaint is worth it. It may have the power to bring out bigger solutions.” The CCC met on Thursday at 3 pm where around 40 cases were lined up and a few of them were heard and some decided and some likely to be settled till it’s time for the next seating on April 15.

The tournament will be played under the auspices of Kuwait Indian Football Federation (KIFF) and officiated by KIFF referees. The draw, a unique one, was conducted during the finals of Goa Maroons Trophy finals in presence of NYC President Agnello A. S. Fernandes, KIFF President Fidelis Fernandes and representatives of participating teams. Other matches on day one will be Kuwait Goan Association taking on United Friends Club in the second match while Rising Stars will play United Goans in the last match. Ten strong teams affiliated to Kuwait Indian Football Federation (KIFF) are vying for the prestigious, perhaps one of the most uniquely sculpt trophies worldwide, instituted in the year 1993. The finals of this edition are slated for April 30, 2010. The tournament is sponsored by international corporate houses like Gulf Custody Company, Axis Bank and My Money Mart. NYC President Agnello A. S. Fernandes speaking on the occasion said, NYC has over the years, whenever it has embarked on a project, always tried to create awareness with a theme. For our 21st edition NYC Rolling Trophy, in coordination with our sponsors, we have decided on the ‘Go Green' subject. Mr. Charles D'Sa picking up a team at the Draw. Later in a statement Mr. Agnello said, Our Sponsors have stressed that NYC should try to create an awareness on climate change in their own possible way. NYC have reiterated its commitment to feature in brief, simple valuable hints that should enable us to cultivate habits this change. For statistics show that some of the greatest threats to future resources come from things we throw away every day. Batteries and electronics often contain dangerous chemicals that could pollute the earth. These items should be disposed in a proper manner - not by throwing them out the window. These can contaminate everything from the soil in which our food grows, to the water that we drink. The President further added, Many of these chemicals cannot be removed from the drinking water supply, nor from the crops that are harvested from contaminated fields. The risk of these elements to human health is tremendous. Throwing away items that could be recycled diminishes energy, water and natural resources that could be saved by recycling. In our own way, within our homes, we can do many things to help the climate change so that our generations can have a cleaner future. Don't leave a planet for your children that will have no climate. If we don't start to change our habits now then the culture, wealth and treasures we will leave behind for our generations will be of no use to them. THINK ABOUT IT! concluded the President.

Police clueless. This has all the masala of a suspense thriller. The exciting end comes a week later with the arrest of four foreign nationals in Goa. The plot: four Latin Americans gang up in Kuala Lumpur, conduct a survey of jewellery exhibitions in South India, pick on Bangalore, come via Kathmandu, execute the heist successfully and decamp to Goa. But CCTV footage proves their nemesis. City Crime Bureau (CCB) sleuths get enough clues from the footage, go to Goa, and nab the four, who were about to courier the jewels, concealed in dolls, to Colombia. The heist happened at The Pride hotel on Richmond Road. The jewellery was brought by a Jaipur-based merchant to be showcased in an exhibition at Kanteerava stadium. The four persons arrested on Monday have been identified as Pedro Alejandro Maita Rodriguez (30) from Caracas, Venezuela; his girlfriend Maira Alejandra Aranago Giraldo (22) from Barrio Willa, Colombia; Elenilson Amilcar Pocasangre Ruano (34) from Losrosales, El Salvador; and Luis Alberto Giraldo Lopez (25) from Bogota, Colombia. CCB sleuths have recovered all the jewellery. WHAT HAPPENED? Pramod Agarwal Derewala, owner of Derewala Jewellery Industries Ltd, had come down on March 19 to participate in the jewellery exhibition, held from March 20 to 22. Agarwal had checked into The Pride along with his manager Vijay Saini Doorwala and assistant Nitin. At the end of each day, they would take the jewellery back to their hotel room. On March 22, after the exhibition, Agarwal left the city. His assistants took 7.782 kg of gold jewellery of Italian design and 704 gm of silver back to the hotel. At 7.55 pm, soon after both had stepped out, their room was broken into, and two bags containing the jewellery stolen — all within eight minutes.

[Goanet] [JudeSundayReflections] Good Friday
--- Sign the Petition requesting The Honble Minister of State for Environment and Forests (I/C) to maintain the moratorium on issuing further environmental clearances for mining activities in Goa http://goanvoice.org.uk/miningpetition.php --- 29-Mar-2010 Dear Friend, How do we react to suffering? Most people try to avoid it all at costs. But if it is unavoidable, how do we cope with suffering? Some prefer the Spartan way: with courage and will power, believing that they have the power within to do it. Others try to reason and rationalize suffering and by this way they believe they can face the enigmas and struggles of life. The Christian way does not exclude the other two but focuses on dependence on God and his power. God gives us the power to endure all things. Have a ‘Good’ Friday contemplating how Jesus loved and saved us through the Cross! Fr. Jude Sunday Reflections: Good Friday ‘The sacrifice of love, giving till the very end!’ 2-Apr-2010 Isaiah 52:13—53:12 Hebrews 4:14—5:9 John 18:1-19: 42 The first reading is a passage about the humiliation and suffering of the Suffering Servant of Yahweh. Israel contemplates the mystery of suffering as seen in the fate of the man on whom rests the hopes of Israel. The innocent and unmerited sufferings of the Servant of Yahweh expiate for the sins of others. The Servant of Yahweh was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, he was despised yet he bore silently the sufferings inflicted on him. Harshly dealt with, he bore it all humbly and never opened his mouth. He accepted it all as coming from the Lord’s hands. But it was not pointless suffering, for through his wounds we are healed and justified in God’s eyes. The Cross And The Crown There is strange legend of a monk who was walking in the monastery garden alone, thinking of the Passion of our Lord, just before Holy Week. As he slowly paced along, he saw something lying in the path, and picked it up. It was the crown of thorns which our Lord had worn for our sakes, and he reverently carried it to the little chapel, and laid it upon the altar. Never had Holy Week been so well kept, for the sight of that crown of thorns made them realize the sufferings and the love of Jesus more than they had ever done before. At last Easter Sunday dawned, and the monk rose early for his Easter preparations, and came to the chapel. As the sun shone through the window, it lighted up the altar, it touched the crown of thorns, and there in the Easter sunlight the thorns had blossomed into the most beautiful flowers. It is a little parable. For it is suffering and sacrifice which bring forth the most fruits. Anthony Castel in ‘Quotes and Anecdotes’ The Passion of Christ according to St. John is highly dramatic in as much as he presents the passion as a triumph of the Son of God. Throughout John’s passion we see Jesus always in command, never the victim who is made to suffer unwillingly but one who goes to the bitter end of his own accord. At his arrest his adversaries fall prostrate before him, illustrating what he himself said: “No one takes my life from me. I have the power to lay it down of my own accord.” He is the master of his fate. We see the same self composure of Jesus at his trial. His enemies bring him to trial on false charges but it is they who are judged rather than Jesus. His fearlessness and silence confronts them. The theme recurring during this section is that of kingship. He claims that he is king and for this he came into the world, yet he is a different kind of king, whom few will understand. He reigns in men’s hearts not by dominance and fear but by love. The Jewish leaders are determined to get rid of this king, they reject him: “Away with Him!” But he cannot be ignored. Scourged, crowned with thorns, mocked and arrayed in a purple robe, he is saluted as ‘King of the Jews!” Pilate ironically says “Behold the man! You have nothing to fear from this helpless man.” But John sees the Son of Man as the judge of this world and of all man. Although Pilate has found him innocent he has no courage of his convictions and he yields to political pressure and blackmail. The way of the cross then becomes a triumphant procession. In contrast to the other synoptics there is no Simon of Cyrene who needs to help Jesus to carry his cross to the very end. In John’s Gospel the cross is the throne of this King. “And I when I am lifted up will draw all things to myself. The passion of Christ ends on a triumphant note not a whimper. “It is finished! The task you have given me is accomplished! Therefore the story of the passion does not end with his death on the cross for John sees the deeper reality symbolized by the resurrection. The death-resurrection comprises one event,

As well, there is a debate as to how long (time wise) the present medium can hold dataexample, a cd with pictures- it is said would deteriorate after a few years. That said, the internet the way it is today is very fragile and in a worse case scenario, it won't take long to break down- came close a couple of times.

Now we know (I hope) that: a: the Chinese brought Chinese cuisine to India, where it was modified by the addition of some Indian spices, b: the Portuguese brought the chorico or salsicha (sausage) to Goa where it was modified by the addition of spices, c: the Portuguese brought the ladainha to Goa, where it was sung (also) in Konkani I cannot be more clear than this about this topic. I'd say this in conclusion: d: If you can help this project - financially, please help. e: If you can help this project by not nit-picking at irrelevant side issues, please help by zipping up. f: I find it pointless discussing anything with a person who is challenged in the English language and who engages in arguing on the basis of his (own) misrepresentation of the facts. g: Accordingly, please have the last word on this exchange, and have a good day. jc
