Re: [Goanet] Events in Goa

2013-02-02 Thread Werner Egipsy Souza
I have been a guest first at Goafest and now currently photographer
for India Bike Week.
I really see the lack of Goan culture in these events, despite the
fact that this is exactly what people come here to see.
I met a French lady in Kerala who says Goa is superficial, and I
realise that's because we don't show our true culture enough, which
the Portuguese have acknowledged as truly unique.

Regards,
Werner

Re: [Goanet] Movie - Goa is not India

2013-02-02 Thread Werner Egipsy Souza
The truth is, Arambol is not Goa!
They make a mention about being treated as walking wallets, without
realising that that is exactly how they behave, especially when they
pay extra for no rhyme or reason.

Condemning the murder of Cícero Guedes, leader of the 
Brazilian Landless Workers’ Movement MST




The Right Livelihood Award Foundation strongly 
condemns the murder of Cícero Guedes, a leader of the Brazilian Landless 
Workers’ Movement MST. The MST received the Right Livelihood Award (also known 
as the “Alternative Nobel Prize”) in 1991. 




 








Cícero Guedes dos Santos, coordinator of the Landless Workers’ Movement 
(Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais sem Terra, MST) of Brazil was killed by 
gunmen on Friday, January 25th. He received some twelve shots to the head while 
he was bicycling away from a settlement of landless families in the vicinity of 
the Cambahyba sugar plant, in the municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes in Rio 
de Janeiro. It is yet unclear who is responsible for the murder. 

The MST received the Right Livelihood Award Foundation in the Swedish 
Parliament in Stockholm in 1991 "for winning land for landless families and 
helping them to farm it sustainably". Ole von Uexkull, Executive Director of 
the Foundation, said: "The Right Livelihood Award Foundation strongly condemns 
this crime and calls on the state of Rio de Janeiro and the Brazilian 
government to protect the Landless Movement and their activists."

Other Laureates of the Right Livelihood Award from all over the world expressed 
their solidarity and support to the family and colleagues of the murdered 
activist. The Paraguayan educator and human rights advocate Martín Almada (RLA 
2002), lamented that "violent actions continue to claim the lives of Latin 
American leaders and advocates for the environment and sustainability."

On their website, the MST explains that Cícero Guedes, who was a sugar-cane 
cutter, coordinated the occupation of a complex of seven farms with 3,500 
hectares (8,600 acres) located in the State of Rio de Janeiro. 14 years ago, 
this large estate was subject to expropriation by the National Institute of 
Colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA). However, the process continued only 
recently, when it was approved by the Federal Court in August 2012. 

Although 11 years ago he had already managed to acquire land and become a 
"settler" himself, Cícero Guedes dos Santos remained a tireless advocate of 
agrarian reform. He taught organic farming techniques to families occupying 
estates and would always argue that the products obtained from ecologically 
sound agriculture are "superior" to those sold in supermarkets. His colleagues 
and family say that nature "was his source of inspiration.”

Cícero Guedes leaves behind five children.

[Goanet] Vasco Sada School - Update

2013-02-02 Thread JoeGoaUk
Update 1.2.13
A committee of parents had called for a boycott of the school (Primary Section) 
for two days i.e 31st Jan and 1st Feb, to press for their demands of the arrest 
of the class teacher of the girl who had been raped, and of CISF personnel and 
the school clerk

First day, it seem there was a mix response and second day appeared to be near 
normal ?
However, teachers were seen escorting small-small groups of children upto the 
School Gate at the end of the school hours around 1.30pm.

Plenty of police spotted at the Gate all day, also saw a bus load of police 
nearby some of whom playing cards inside the bus.
The compound wall height is now raised by half a metre and the work is still 
going on see pics.
Also, one of the two main gates of the school seems now permanently closed with 
brick wall, the gate which was nearest to primary section or opp. to MPT 
Chairman's residence 'Harbour House'. see last pic
 
20 days now since the incident took place in first floor of the school toilet, 
no breakthrough in the case yet.
However, as per today'slocal newspapers, Chief Minister of Goa Manohar Parrikar 
assured parents of coming out with 'Positive' results in this case within 8 
days (by 8th Feb)

Re: [Goanet] Harley Davidson Rally in Goa

2013-02-02 Thread E DeSousa
"A noisy "treat" at that! "

   Frederik Noronha's comment about the Harley extravaganza unfolding in Goa, 
is 
undestandable.
However, Harley enthusiasts are well known fans of the "thunder between my 
legs". It is a finely engineered exhaust system that delivers the unique, 
signature HarleyDavidson sound.

On a related note when US President George Bush travelled to India in 2006 
and signed  the "American Harleys for Indian mangoes" deal, a lot of India 
mango 
fans in the US were overjoyed.  Prime Alphonso mangoes landed on the US market 
at about $69 per dozen.This exorbitant price sort of dampened the enthusiasm a 
bit considering different varieties of Mexican and Central American as well as 
Brasilian mangoes are availabe at about $12 per dozen in local supermarkets.

The  price differential is somewhat  comparable (on a different 
scale) to the one between the $18,700 price of the XL 1200N Nightster 
Harley-Davidson and the $8,000 price of the Kawasaki Ninja 650 or the $1,500 
price of the Bajaj Pulsar 200.

[Goanet] Communists have become lobbyist for the mining industry?

2013-02-02 Thread U. G. Barad

To my comment: “It is with amusement that I read that the communists have
become lobbyist for the mining industry!”

Fredrick Noronha writes: “This is very much in keeping with Uncle Marx's
view of thesis-antithesis-synthesis. Or so it seems to me. In the meanwhile,
the capitalist USofA is heavily dependent (financially, tradewise, etc) on
"communist" China. What does that tell you? Marx was probably right :-)”

I presume that Fred means Karl Marx, and not Marx Groucho!

Anyway, what exactly is this ‘thesis-antithesis-synthesis’?  If Fred can
provide a brief on the subject, or provide a url where it can be located, I
would appreciate it.

As regarding China, it is communist only in name.  And the leadership uses
the communist only for self-aggrendisation, so that no one can question them
for holding on the position of power.  And then they can indulge in
enriching themselves, while pretending to be benefitting the proleteriats.

Best regards,

U. G. Barad
