It is named after the Konkani word for *praise*. In 2009-10, Studi performed in Saligao, Chinchinim, Aldona, Margao, Porvorim and Panjim under the direction of Nauzer Daruwalla and Nigel Dixon. It is entirely a labour of love. Members meet every Monday and Wednesday at the Kala Academy's Rehearsal Hall from 6.30 pm to 8 pm. This was the first concert for Stuti in the year 2011.

And all say they are legal. Has a single one of them been investigated?* SUJAY GUPTA sujay@ herald- goa. com PANJIM: The Congress President, the Chief Minister, the Urban Development Minister, the Health Minister, the son of the Home minister and many others who are out of power but continue to remain powerful all have mining interests. They dig, transport and export. Some have their own companies, others do it by proxy. We begin with GPCC President Subhash Shirodkar, who has declared that he is very involved in the mining business, but does nothing illegally. We are not saying he does. We are detailing his involvement and of others. Since 2005 onwards, he has been operating a mine earlier run by Anil Salgaocar’s SMI called Santonachi Upri, whose concession holder is Zarapkar and Parkar in the village of Dabal of Sanguem ( TC no: 34 of 13/ 8/ 55, area 98.3 hectares). Since 2005, he has exported 4,41982 tonnes of ore from this mine. Since 1990- 91, the total exports from here, has been 2.6 million tones. ( Herald has the year- wise exports figures) The second mine he operates is also of SMI’s ( Salito) in Pale of Bicholim ( TC no: 86 of 4/ 9/ 53, 94.6 hectares). 34 people have been hired Continued on pg 12 *Mr CHIEF MINISTER, have you ever asked these questions to:* Quote room• Has he or the lease holder paid royalty for all the ore extracted from the Zarapkar Parkar Lease• Are all 34 workers hired by Vasundhara Minerals registered with the Assistant Labour Comissioner Joaquim Alemao• Has royalty been paid for at least seven specific leases he is operating• Has he sold any cargo and if so to whom. Who transports his cargo? Vishwajeet Rane• Has he bought a mine from KK Agarwal in Harvalem? Have operations commenced? Roy Naik• What are his interests in a company called GPT. Who is Pawaskar. What are the details of his mining operations?• What is the source of all ore transported by him. The royalty details of such ore and the final mode of ex ports Dinar Tarcar• What are the details of the case against Minescape, where he has been accused of running a mine on the basis of a Power of Attorney? Now the CM’s turn to answer• Many politician miners do business with Mallikarjun Exports and Pisces Exim the later being a company which has exported unclassified ( not necessarily illegal) ore this year. Has the trail of these exports as those of all other companies, been established to identify the source of ore sent?• There is a term called Zero ore. Across Goa, those in Continued on pg 12 I have nothing to do with SGS. I handle and transport cargo. - Shyam Satardekar I own Vasundhara Transport and am involved in the extraction of ore. Is there anything wrong with that? - Subhash Shirodkar I have been in this business for 20 years. I’m a machine and raising contractor that’s all.

Re: [Goanet] On Fred's column on Goa's debate.....
Ms I. Nunes wrote: Does the fact that the Goan author, Antonio Gomes, is a cardiologist make his literary suggestions valid, credible and true, and hence more acceptable? While I understand your noble intent - waving the flag for Goan achievers who all do Goa proud - omission of the author's specialty would have better served your purpose. RESPONSE: I'm sure Ms I. Nunes is a literary critic of great merit here in England, although I've not heard of her. Perhaps like her hero Mark Twain, she writes under an psuedonym. I shall keep a look-out for her distinctive style in the Guardian or the Times. However, Frederick being a journalist who studied in Sweden, he has been trained to give as much information of the person, he is introducing into the piece. So he always provides information either by way of profession or the place they live in. And so he meant nothing more nor less when he introduced Dr Antonio Gomes in such a manner. Best, Selma
Re: [Goanet] Simon Majumdar, Insult to Caju Feni
My love hate affair with the Elixir of the Gods, as Cecil so rightly put it, started during my very young days, when I use to be amused to see mom light fire to this very strong smelling liquid for a while then put it off, add a little sugar to it and give me a spoonful to drink whenever I had a bad cold and cough and more often than not it would help, but at that tender age I just hated it, the burning sensation in the mouth and while I unwillingly swallowed it, it felt like live coals going down my elementary canal to the pit of my stomach and I just could not bear the strong smell too. Apart from Mom's occasional medicinal dose I never ever touched liquor, not even beer but things changed in College in Bombay. Being good in sports was always advantageous in school and college, hence I was one of those guys with lots of friends from both sexes, especially the rich, and like most rich kid, my friends too use to party a lot even in the mid and late seventies, it was then I started sipping beer but never graduated to the stronger elixirs. I was just recovering from a bad accident, a few months after my twentieth birthday, when I was mobile, the guys and girls from the college football, hockey and basketball teams gave me a treat at one of our friends place at Malabar Hill, his parents were out of the country and I was surprised to note that all the drinks and food was only Goan, later I was told that they had got the food and the drinks from an aunty from Sonapur, at whose joint one our guy was a frequent visitor, a Sindhi, he was an adherent fan of feni ! The party started with a glass of feni in my hand, though I hated the idea, I went along with it and after all the pleasantries of being reminded by one and all that I had crossed the threshold of manhood and into the second decade on life and that they were happy that I was recuperating well and still standing, even though with the help of a clutch, all the ahh's and the ooss started ! as the guys and the girls tasted feni most of them for the first time, some had watery eyes, some made funny faces, some coughed and puffed but after the first hit, rest was smooth sailing, I on the other hand stood with a clutch in one hand and the feni glass in the other, dreading the idea of swallowing live coals but all of a sudden some one yelled sala ! he Goechi ma ka pau feni pita nahim hai kya ? Then the count down started 10,9,8 ...1 go, it was bottoms up ! I had closed my eyes, knowing the effect and it was coals again hitting my stomach, but slowly as the evening progressed, I started enjoying the feni, it was good stuff, thanks to the Sindhi here on stated my love for feni. I am not a habitual drinker, I drink occasionally, when I have company, parties, picnics or if I have had a rough day, a couple of pegs before dinner and I am relaxed, there are just two drinks that I prefer one is Cashew feni and the Coconut dudxiri, and I prefer these to any other drinks in the world and I have never ever have had a hangover or a bad taste in my mouth. I was also involved with Cashew tenders for a decade, it was good business then and cashew feni was looked up at and revered because of it's unadulterated and genuine quality. During that time when I had visitors, outstation and overseas I would proudly give them a couple of bottles of my Feni and dudxiri and some of them use to write back to me thanking me for the joy that this unparallel drink gave then. I was indeed proud of my feni ! Today when I read the hogwash that this damned Majumdar had to say about our feni, it hurt, but thinking it over I have realized, he may have been a victim of adulteration like so many others, which we cannot deny, today the feni both Cashew and Coconut, that we get all over Goa with the exception of a few, is certainly not genuine. One of the main reasons that the credibility of our feni is questioned today is because every Tom, Dick and Harry wants to distill feni without the know how nor do they have a good storage facility and the wholesalers to make more money adulterate the feni, it's a real pity that for the sake of money the authenticity and the credibility of our Goan feni is at stake, so much so, that a drink that we Goans were once so proud of, is being ridiculed by guys like Majumdar just because they don't know where to get the genuine in a market that is flooded with made in China. I would like to inform Mr. Majumdar that I visit Goa mostly in April-May and would be more than happy to let him taste the Elixir of the Gods from my cabinet and indeed prove that all in not lost for the Goan feni and that it is still one of the most soothing and relaxing of drinks and is certainly among the very best drinks in the world.

Re: [Goanet] Persistent bogus political and religious propaganda on Goanet
Ferdinando Falcao wrote: Do I need to elaborate more about conspiracies and ethics? About unholy nexus of Drug Companies and Research scientists and Politicians? Yes. I think Falcao needs to elaborate more about the conspiracies and ethics in the two opinions he has posted below. I tried to see if there was any mention made of research scientists, politicians, nexus, global conspiracies or mafias in them. I did not find any. The first opinion describes the public relations tactics used by pharmaceutical companies to sell drugs. It talks about the emergence of companies employing journalists and medical writers to write articles promoting new drugs in medical journals, and the solicitation of influential academics to act as authors. No claim is made that the medical information provided in those articles is false, or that the listed authors are not required to have any input and approve of what is written. The second opinion is a diatribe against the pharmaceutical company Novartis. It implies that Marxism would be better than Capitalism. It laments that drugs are expensive when they ought to be distributed freely or at least sold at cheap prices. It blames corporate greed, and unjust property rights and patent laws for this circumstance. It claims that the current legally instituted patent granting system is a crime against humanity. So yes, assuming that these opinions are valid and generally applicable, Falcao needs to elaborate on the conspiracies and ethics, and point out the non-existent mention of research scientists, politicians and the nexus between them. Cheers, Santosh - Original Message - From: Dr. Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão drferdina...@hotmail.com COMMENT : I regret to state that there is enough clarity on this issue, but profound blindness on the part of some who want to behave like ostriches.

[Goanet] Care for Process MindMap A Nonfiction project in Copenhagen, Denmark by Di Ponti • send message
I met Di vulp...@gmail.com when she was in Goa, and she traces her roots to this region. Interesting ideas... FN http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1320897449/care-for-process-mindmap About this project We want to create a simple, useful guide that allows groups of people to integrate their ideas and fully harness the potential of human collaboration: a MindMap.We know that collective can be greater than what any single person can achieve. But we also know that all too often, human potential and innovation gets squashed when people come together. Hierarchy emerges, process is ignored and ideas are suppressed. Think of those meetings and projects where some voices are heard over others. Or meetings that don't inspire us to dedicate ourselves fully because we don't feel like the project is ours. We will create a tool that allows people in any context (schools, non-profits, NGO's, government, science labs, business) to really put their minds together. What will it look like? A poster! Made of paper! Although we're well versed in sophisticated software that allows for collaboration (and will be using it in our process) our goal is to create a MindMap that is as powerful as it is simple. Something that can be used in any context--from a boardroom to a classroom--and can act as a template for face-to-face as well as virtual interactions. We are an interdisciplinary collective of facilitators. We all come from and work with very diverse groups. We work with kids, public administration, business people, academics, communities, artists, collectives, youngsters, activists and NGOs and with all sorts of teams. At the core of our philosophy is 'care for process.' We draw knowledge and inspiration from our study of wiki systems (our group first met at WikiSym2010) and 4th Wave Feminism, a a feminism that empowers and inspires inclusion and appreciation of diversity; understands that participation is political and that the way we construct communication influences decision-making processes. We have spent a year collaborating electronically and explored the subjects of care, work, process, feminism, empowerment, recognition, collectives, companies, instituitions, groups, societies and the world at large. We talked to female leaders, male carers, friends, lovers, and people who explored and lived these themes with us. We presented at activist and academic settings, we wrote poems, we conducted trainings, we skyped and dreamt. We met once all together face-to-face and produced a book: http://www.booki.cc/careforprocess. Now, we want to turn that book into a MindMap that the world can use. To do this, we need your help. Take a step towards setting the process in motion and contribute whatever you can.

[Goanet] Eat your fish, you’re less likely to get a stroke
The source of the below post is www.firstpost.com and not dailymail.com as wrongly mentioned in my earlier post. Sorry for the error. http://www.firstpost.com/living/eat-your-fish-youre-less-likely-to-get-a-stroke-91951.html Eat your fish, you’re less likely to get a stroke People who eat fish a few times each week are slightly less likely to suffer a stroke than those who only eat a little or none at all. That’s the conclusion of an analysis of 15 studies, each of which asked people how frequently they ate fish, then followed them for between four and 30 years to see who suffered a stroke. “I think overall, fish does provide a beneficial package of nutrients, in particular the omega-3s, that could explain this lower risk,” said Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, a Harvard School of Public Health epidemiologist whose research was included in the analysis. “A lot of the evidence comes together suggesting that about two to three servings per week is enough to get the benefit.” Close to 800,000 people in the U.S. have a stroke each year, and 136,000 die from it. Smoking, drinking, being overweight and having high blood pressure and cholesterol are all linked to a higher risk of stroke. Dr. Susanna Larsson and Dr. Nicola Orsini of the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden wrote in the journal Stroke that omega-3 fatty acids in fish might lower stroke risk through their positive effects on blood pressure and cholesterol. Vitamin D, selenium and certain types of proteins in fish may also have stroke-related benefits, Mozaffarian added. Data for the analysis came from close to 400,000 people age 30 to 103. The studies were done in the U.S., Europe, Japan and China. Over anywhere from a few years to a few decades, about 9,400 people had a stroke. Eating three extra servings of fish each week was linked to a six-percent drop in stroke risk, which translates to one fewer stroke among a hundred people eating extra fish over a lifetime. And the people in each study who ate the most fish were 12 percent less likely to have a stroke that those that ate the least. Those who start eating fish are less likely to get a stroke, says a new study. REUTERS/Zoubeir SouissiMozaffarian’s own report separated the effects of different kinds of fish and found that people who ate more fried fish and fish sandwiches didn’t get any stroke benefit, not surprisingly. But the research can’t prove that adding more non-fried fish to your diet will keep you from having a stroke. People who eat a lot of fish, Mozaffarian told Reuters Health, “could have healthier diets in other ways, people could exercise more, people could have better education that could lead them to see their doctors more.” All of those things might decrease their risk of stroke. Still, he added, most studies have tried to take those other health and nutrition factors into account to isolate the effects of fish as much as possible — and they suggest a cause-and-effect relationship. It’s likely, Mozaffarian said, that people who start out eating no fish or very little probably have the most to gain by putting it on their plate more often. “You get a lot of bang for your buck when you go from low intake to moderate, a few servings per week,” he said. After that, the benefit from each extra serving probably goes down. Fatty fish such as salmon and herring are especially high in omega-3s. The American Heart Association recommends at least two servings of fatty fish in particular each week.
Re: [Goanet] Attn: Simon Majumdar. Insult to Caju Feni
Dear Mr. Majumdar, You have just exposed your total ignorance. A Connoisseur knows what he talks, because he is aware of the entire process by which the particular liquor or wine is produced. Wine and liquor taste vary with the base element it is produced from region to region. But here; you're unaware of the base element itself. Sure difference between the nut and the caju apple itself maybe just an inch distance. But that makes an enormous difference in taste. Don't believe? Read ahead... Quote: A man goes to the Lucas Carlton in Paris with his girlfriend and orders the 1928 Mouton. The waiter returns with a bottle full of wine, pours a small amount in the glass for tasting. The customer picks up the glass, smells the wine, and puts it down on the table with a thud. 'This is not the 1928 Mouton.' The waiter assures him it is, and soon there are twenty more people surrounding the table including the chef and the manager of the hotel trying to convince the man that the wine is the 1928 Mouton. Finally someone asks him how he knows that it is not the 1928 Mouton. 'My name is Phillipe de Rothschid, and I make the wine.' Finally the original waiter steps forward and admits that he poured the Clerc Milon 1928. 'I could not bear to part with our last bottle of 1928 Mouton. You know, Clerc Milon is in the same village as Mouton, you pick the grapes at the same time, the same cepage, you crush in the same way, you put them into similar barrels. You bottle at the same time, you even use eggs from the same chickens to fine them. The wines are the same, except for a small matter of geographic location.' Rothschid beckons the waiter forward, and whispers to him, 'When you return home tonight, ask your girlfriend to remove her underwear.

[Goanet] Feni a goan drink of choice
Aroma Of Feni Many years ago an NRI suggested to me to try and knock off the smell of the Feni drink He also suggested to pack the tender Coconut water He also asked to me build 1000 tree nests for the birds in the trees and record their sounds of music He was willing to finance the projects The feni of coconut and caju were sent for analysis by him in Bombay, to see the possibility of knocking out the aroma, which according to him made the drink obnoxious. The result as I remember vaguely now 40 years later was that removing the aroma made the feni watery It was also mentioned that this drink contains aldehydes ,Ketones, esters, which make the feni harmful. The second idea was to mask the aroma, so that it was more palatable But as we know, we prefer the drink pure and unadulterated. The idea of bottling tender coconut water was believed to put pressure on the availability of coconut of daily use and mass consumption Nevertheless the product tested insipid and no match to the fresh tender coconut water. I tried the bottled tender coconut water at Gujarat and it is not worth it Nobody was willing to put up 1000 nests and record the sounds and music of the birds The Feni in 1952 influenza epidemic was considered to be the most potent medicine and widely used I remember dispensing it to the boarders, daily at night in measured quantities well I thought of sharing something I remembered The thrice distilled bottled Feni is costlier and competes with some of the popular Whisky This local drink to day is highly adulterated and authenticity of its purity , genuineness is suspect Toddy tappers as professional are in short supply and the wood required for distillation is priced exorbitantly If not encouraged by Govt support, this Goan popular drink will soon be archived. It is difficult to get toddy for preparation of Sannas. nelson lopes Chinchinim
[Goanet] Cashing on Patients misery
Cashing on patients misery A patient was treated for Hodgkin lymphoma at designated Hospitals under Mediclaim facility. After completion of the cycles of chemotherapy the report did not recommend or give any hope for further treatment All the tests conducted indicated that it has spread far and beyond and any further administration of medicines were purely to prolong life a while. The patient in hope and recommendation approached the cancer specialists associated with a reputed hospital He raised hopes and assured of false cure. first by trying one cycle , then went on 2 more and wanted to administer 3 more cycles, costing nearly Rs6= The doctor was well aware that the patient had mediclaim and was not recommended further chemotherapy, as that was not going to be curative. The knowledge was available to the specialist and yet he played on the misery of the patient to fleece her on death bed. Finally .the patient was recommended to the Govt hospital, when she was unable to bare the financial burden The patients treated on Mediclaim are poor patients , and yet the specialist further burdened the patient with another Rs 6= The ethics are gone to the winds, but are eager to milk any one to their advantage When the specialized Cancer Hospital at Mumbai had given its well documented diagnosis of final verdict of in curability, as the disease had widely spread Is it not cheating poor patient , with false hopes? Is this Doctor , so called popular specialist , thinking of his own gain and profit to the refereed Hospital. ? This corruption in this circumstance is nothing short of day light robbery. The suffering of patients are being fed on false hopes God forbid, how many more unknowing patients are subjected to this type of deceit

[Goanet] JUDICIAL ACCOUNTABILITY
The Chief Justice of India and all Supreme Court judges have furnished details of their assets on the official website. Some of the retired Supreme Court judges have even voluntarily displayed their assets. Though a meeting of the judges of the Bombay High Court had taken a decision on 2nd September 2009 to declare their assets there seems to have been no follow up action. Why is it taking the Bombay High Court over two years to comply with one of its own decisions? Is it that some judges want to conceal their assets from the public domain?

[Goanet] College to boost rural women
By MASEMBE TAMBWE, 25th September 2011 The Daily News RURAL women will soon get a lifetime opportunity with the coming of a social work college to Tanzania, to be established by the Indian Government. Barefoot College known as Social Work and Research Centre is an NGO founded by Bunker Roy in 1972. It is a solar-powered school that teaches uneducated women from impoverished villages to become doctors, solar engineers, architects, and other such professions. It is a done deal, said the Indian High Commissioner to Tanzania, Mr Kocheril Bhagirath. Mr Bhagirath told the 'Daily News' in an exclusive interview that the Minister of State President's Office, Public Service Management, Ms Hawa Ghasia, had made a formal request and the response was positive. He said the High Commission was in the process of writing up an offer notice showing that they would provide trainers and equipment after a building to house the college has been put up. The receiving country decides the location of the college and provides a building. India brings trainers and equipment, he explained. Through the Indian Technical Economic Cooperation (ITEC) programme, over 15 women who could neither read nor write have already enjoyed the benefits of a six-week training in India. The High Commissioner said the coming of the college will have a huge impact on the rural economy, as the country is blessed with plenty of sunshine, adding that education for women means minimizing many problems. The Minister of State, President's Office, Public Service Management, Ms Hawa Ghasia, said during the ITEC Day last week that the government sought to have the college established at home after the incredible results from the 15 trained women. Ms Ghasia said in Karatu district, over 400 households now have electricity thanks to eight women who only hold a certificate of primary school education who were trained at the Barefoot College in 2008. We are currently holding a dialogue with the Indian High Commission to have women trained here in Tanzania, she explained. She said connection to electricity cost as low as 40 US dollars. ITEC was established by the Government of India in 1964 to facilitate sharing of experience, transfer of technology, capacity building and the development of human resources between developing nations. Between 1994 and 2010 over 1,500 public service employees have attended ITEC training programes. Mr Bhagirath said that India and Tanzania were key partners in capacity building, with Tanzania registering impressive strides in utilizing 175 training slots in 2010, the highest for any African country, and the second highest offered by India.
Re: [Goanet] Cashing on Patients misery
Comment: Mr. Lopes, yours is a sad indictment of medical care accessible by Goans in Goa. The consensus after 40 years in the fight against cancer is that Hodgkin's Lymphoma is curable in many cases. Expectations (prognosis) Hodgkin’s disease is considered one of the most curable forms of cancer, especially if it is diagnosed and treated early. Unlike other cancers, Hodgkin's disease is often very curable even in late stages. With the right treatment, more than 90% of people with stage I or II Hodgkin's lymphoma survive for at least 10 years. If the disease has spread, the treatment is more intense but 90% of people with advanced disease survive 5 years. Patients who survive 15 years after treatment are more likely to later die from other causes than Hodgkin’s disease. People with Hodgkin’s lymphoma whose disease returns within a year after treatment or do not respond to the first-line therapy have a poorer prognosis. You need to receive regular doctor's exams and imaging tests for years after treatment. This helps your doctor check for signs of the cancer returning, and to check for any long-term effects of treatments. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001606/ It is heartbreaking to see politicos and their cronies promote medical tourism in Goa for the fat cat foreigners, yet remain callous about the needs of their own constituents.
