[Goanet] Most racist countries - dailymail.co.uk

[Camillo Fernandes]

Map shows world's 'most racist' countries (and the answers may surprise 
you)Hong Kong, Bangladesh, Jordan and India named least tolerant countriesU.S., 
Britain, Canada and South America are among the least racistSurvey asks people 
if they would want neighbours of a different race
By HUGO GYE

An international poll has revealed the world's least tolerant countries - with 
Hong Kong at the top of the list and Britain at the bottom.  The global social 
attitudes study claims that the most racially intolerant populations are all in 
the developing world, with Bangladesh, Jordan and India in the top five.
By contrast, the study of 80 countries over three decades found Western 
countries were most accepting of other cultures with Britain, the U.S., Canada 
and Australia more tolerant than anywhere else.
Enlarge Racism: This map shows the nations of the world where people have the 
most and least tolerant attitudesThe data come from the World Value Survey, 
which has been measuring the social attitudes of people in 80 different 
countries, as reported by the Washington Post.
The survey asked respondents in more than 80 different countries to identify 
kinds of people they would not want as neighbours. Some respondents, picking 
from a list, chose 'people of a different race'. More...Which is the world's 
most mobile country? Migration map reveals the populations with itchy feetThe 
more frequently that people in a given country say they did not want neighbors 
from other races, the economists reasoned, the less racially tolerant you could 
call that society.The country with the highest proportion of 'intolerant' 
people who wanted neighbours who were 'the same opinions was Hong Kong, where 
71.8 per cent of the population would refuse to live next to someone of a 
different race.
Next were Bangladesh on 71.7 per cent, Jordan on 51.4 per cent and India with 
43.5 per cent.
Intolerant: A survey found that Hong Kong had the most people professing racist 
views of any countryRacist views are strikingly rare in America, according to 
the survey, which claims that only 3.8 per cent of residents are reluctant to 
have a neighbour of another race.Other English-speaking countries once part of 
the British Empire shared the same tolerant attitude - fewer than five per cent 
of Britons, Canadians, Australians and New Zealanders showed signs of racism.
Similarly, fewer than one in 20 people in most South American countries 
admitted harbouring prejudice against other races.
Diverse: The multicultural U.S. is among the least racially intolerant 
countries, according to the dataThe Middle East, which is currently dealing 
with large numbers of low-skilled immigrants from south Asia, seems to be a 
hotbed of racial tension.
Europe is remarkably split - the west of the continent is generally more 
tolerant than the east, but France is a striking outlier with 22.7 per cent of 
the French rejecting neighbourhood diversity.
Some have pointed out problems in the survey data, claiming that because the 
polls span a long period of time they are an unreliable guide to current 
attitudes.
However, a more serious flaw could be the fact that in most Western countries 
racism is so taboo than many people will hide their intolerant views and lie to 
the questioners.

[Goanet] An attempt at Okee Pokee in Konkanim

[Venantius J Pinto]

 Hi all,
Sharing my translation of Okee-Pokee. We had this in school, and found it
online. I do not know the author.
As usual, I would appreciate any corrections or suggestions. In some cases,
I have simplified, and also used Konkani from various inflections--which is
my lot in any case. Thats life, the solitariness which compares favorably
in my minds eye with distance running.

Thank you.

Eighteenth wife of the mighty king
Loved her lord above everything
And dressed him up for the party.

Satins and silks the Queen did lack,
But she'd some red paint that looked well on black,
So she painted her lord and master's back
Before he went out to the party.

Crowns and stars, and ships with sails,
And flying dragons with curly tails-
"That's a dress," said the Queen, "that never fails
To charm all folks at a party."

So, painted up till he looked his best,
With pipe in mouth and feather in crest,
Okee-Pokee marched out without a coat or vest,
But yet in full dress, to the party.

[Goanet] Sad days for Benefica fans

[Eugene Correia]

In between the Special Status and the Mopa-Dabolim "matches" it was a big
relief to watch football.
I was caught between two favourites -- Chelsea and Benefica while watching
the Europa League final. It was a both an ectasy and agony for me to see
one team win and the other lose. I have been following English football
more than the Portuguese one, and should admit that I was happy that
Chelsea triumphed. A little of my heart sank with Benefica's dashed hopes,
especially so when the team displayed such fine movements in the first half
and missed scoring from the few opportunities they had. The Eagles couldn't
land a goal in this dominating period.
That Benefica was defeated by a goal in the "stoppage" time was
heart-breaking for me as much it should have been for the team and its
fans. It was a repeat of what I experienced when, over the weekend,
Benefica suffered similar fate against Porto in the Portuguese league
match. Porto's late goal has left Benefica with an outside chance of
regaining the league title. One one point is seprating league holders and
top-placed Porto and Benefica. In their last games, to be held on May 19,
Benefica play lowly-place Moreirense FC, while Porto plays third-paced
Paços de Ferreira.
Even if Benefica wins, it would need Porto to lose to Pacos, a distinct
impossibility.
On Sunday, the focus was on the Barcelona vs Athletico Madrid match, though
Barcelona had retained the title even before going into this match as Real
Madrid had conceded a point to Espanyol earlier in the day. Barcelona came
back from a goal down to clinch the match 2-1. It was good fight. The
all-Madrid clash between Real Madrid and Athelico Madrid in the Copa del
Rey final on Friday is one to watch.
Next big match is the European League final between two German teams,
Bayern Munich and Dortmund.

[Goanet] Show me your hypocrisy

[Eugene Correia]

Dear moderator,
discard the earlier one and please use this one with new subject line and
added paras in the bottom. Please edit out this note before sending to the
list.

In his lead article in today's OHerald, Soter D'Souza points out "trademark
hypocrisy" in Goan society, from denying commnaul discord to themselves
sellinbg land to outisders as well as dwelling space to Goans with foreign
citizenships and NRIs who advice on how to "save Goa".
Since the headline on his piece is Special Status: Some Questions it is
fine that he's raised these questions. But a commentator on Goa's politics
I felt he could have found the answers themselves and put them in their
proper perspective for those "hypocritical" or, should I say,
"hypercritical" Goans who fail to understand well the whole issue of
Special Status.
Open-ended questions leave more room for more questions. He says that the
government has powers to prevent sale of land, options to discourage
migration and to award special status to villages in order to block
constuction of mega-projects. It would have been better to spell out the
provisions in law as wells as the powers invested in the government to go
about doing what is necessary.
What takes the cake is the statement, "No legislation granting special
status can 'save Goa' unless every Goan accords special status to Goa in
their hearts and minds." A fine example of sophism.
As one of the recognized experts on panchayat raj, I would want to ask
Soter if it's possible for a panchayat or a gram sabha to prevent migrants
from preventing them from buying a house in a village? I ask because I read
that the Colva gram sabha passed a resolution saying it will not allow
migrants in the village. Could a migrant then move a court?
In the same village a Goan with foreign citizenship was not allowed to
speak and the sarpanch said he had consulted legal experts who informed
that such native Goans who, as one website called them Goan Origin Non-Goan
(GONG), a term that's an oxymoron, are ineligible to speak at such forums.
The terms "native foreigner" and "foreigner natives" are used in
multicultual studies. Since Soter implies that Goans with foreign
citizenship shouldn't express their views on Goa, does it also account to
xenophonia against one's own kind?
Soter perhaps have read Albertina Almeida's piece, To lynch or Not to
Lynch, in this month's Goa Today. Though the trust of her piece is on
gender issue, she also tackles the "issue of the migrants".
I also assume Soter has read another piece, Can Goa do without migrant
labour?, by G.R. Singbal. Both lawyer/active Ms Almeida and journalist
Singbal sees through xenophobia and I fear this shouldn't come to be one of
new "trademark hypocrisy" of Goans.
Soter makes two side (or rathder snide) remarks. First, "Goa was always
special. That is what probably prompted then Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru to say 'Goa ke log ajeeb hai." To the best of my knowledge what Nehru
had meant was that Goans were "unique" in the sense of their
Indo-Portuguese culture. The word "ajeeb" can be translated to mean many
things, including "strange", and the remark was also used the remark as a
"put-down" of Goan people. It's been repeated ad nauseum in political
writings and books, including the one by Rajan Narayan on the history of
Goa's liberation. Time to give it a rest.
The seccond one: "Goa is one such State where the 'guest soon turns God'
(Athiti Devo Bhavo). Every guest arriving in Goa has the liberty of
becoming the master and dictating to Goans how they should lead their
lives." The translation of the Hindi words is wrong. It means, "The guest
is the Lord in your home" and connotes that in Indian humanism a guest
should be treated with good respect and kindness.

[Goanet] HIV and AIDS - Symptoms

[Gabe Menezes]

Symptoms of HIV

[Goanet] Rally against Mopa

[Eugene Correia]

Even as the rallies against Mopa take place, the government has gone ahead
and appointed groups to conduct feasibility studies. The news report says
that the land acquisition for Mopa is complete. Wouldn't it have been
better if the government had waited for the feasibility report to be out?
Maybe the government believes the feasibility report will be in favour of
this second airport. The ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation)
report had called  the proposal of a second report as "unviable". Does
anyone, especially journalists and Floriano Lobo, read this report? From
the little I read on it, the ICAO report says that Goa needs just one
airport to make it financial viable.

If the union defence minister says that Dabolim would remain as a civilian
airport and the CM is pursuing Mopa there seems to be a wide gap in their
thinking. It sees that the CM is conducting a feasibility report with the
hope it would negate the ICAO report. The issue of Dabolim vs Mopa or
having both is painted with the Congress and BJP colours.
So, if the government is going ahead with its plans and shows no respect to
the people's wishes from South Goa (though the reaction from people in
North Goa would need to be taken into account), it is now for the MLAs from
the South to take the battle into the government camp.
Alina needs to speak out forcefully and all the South Goa MLAs who are on
the BJP bandwagon must join in to make the CM realise that the project
could be potentially dangerous to BJP's future election prospects. It was
the support of the South MLAs that brought BJP to power and, therefore, the
South MLAs who should be able to make the CM listen to their pleas.
A newspaper report says that Kerala is considering to have two more
international airports to the three it already has
Meanwhile, out own Floriano bab has stolen a march over all others by
renaming the Dabolim airport as Dr. Jack de Sequiera International Airport.
That's how democracy works, the Su-Raj way..

[Goanet] Kidney stones - dailymail.co.uk

[Camillo Fernandes]

Drinking just one can of fizzy drink a day increases the risk of painful kidney 
stones by a QUARTER

Drinking sugar-sweetened drinks makes the development of kidney stones more 
likelyBut coffee, tea and orange juice reduce the riskThree in 20 British men 
and one in 20 British women develop kidney stones in their lifetime
 
By 
Emma Innes

 

Drinking a can of fizzy drink a day could increase the risk of kidney stones by 
almost a quarter
Drinking a can of fizzy drink a day could increase the risk of kidney stones by 
almost a quarter, new research shows.

The study found that drinking sugar-sweetened drinks makes the painful stones 
more likely to develop.

Other
 drinks - such as coffee, tea and orange juice - reduced the risk, the 
research by Brigham and Women's Hospital, in Boston, U.S., found.

Dr
 Gary Curhan said in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of 
Nephrology: ‘Our study found that the relation between fluid intake and 
kidney stones may be dependent on the type of beverage consumed.

‘We found that higher consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks was associated with 
a higher incidence of kidney stones.’

About
 three in 20 British men and one in 20 women develop a kidney stone at 
some stage in their life, and they are often advised to drink more 
fluids to prevent them reforming.

But Dr Curhan said the new study shows some drinks may be more beneficial than 
others.

 


His team studied data from 194,095 patients over an eight year period.

They
 found that those who consumed one or more sugar-sweetened cola servings
 per day had a 23 per cent higher chance of developing kidney stones 
compared with those participants consuming less than one serving per 
week. 

This was true for consuming sugar-sweetened non-cola drinks as well, such as 
punch. 

  

Three in 20 British men and one in 20 women 
develop a kidney stone, and they are often advised to drink more fluids 
to prevent them reforming
They also found that some beverages, such as coffee, tea and orange juice, were 
associated with a lower risk of stone formation.

Co-author,
 Dr Pietro Manuel Ferraro, of the Catholic University of the Sacred 
Heart in Rome, said: ‘Our prospective study confirms that some beverages
 are associated with a lower risk of kidney stone formation, whereas 
others are associated with a higher risk.

‘Although
 higher total fluid intake reduces the risk of stone formation, this 
information about individual beverages may be useful for general 
practitioners seeking to implement strategies to reduce stone formation 
in their patients.’

Following an especially hit and angry argument, a married couple  (Suresh & 
Sheila) went to bed not speaking to each other.
Needing to wake up early the following morning, Suresh left a note on his 
wife’s (Sheila’s) bedside table that said:-
 
“WAKE ME UP AT SIX”
 
An exasperated Suresh awoke at ten the following morning and rolled stiffly out

An announcement to this effect was made simultaneously by the 
Vatican and at the Archbishop’s House in Bombay at 3.30 pm on Wednesday.
 The Episcopal Consecration of the two new Bishops is planned for June 
29. 


The Auxiliary Bishops are appointed in the dioceses to assist the 
Archbishop in the pastoral care of the people, according to the 
stipulations of Canon Law and the specific arrangements in each case.


Bishop-elect Domnic Savio Fernandes (59), who traces his roots to 
Chinvar-Anjuna, was born  


   
 in Mumbai in 1954 and was ordained a priest in 1989.
 
Bishop-elect John Rodrigues (46), an East Indian, was born in 
Bandra-Mumbai in 1967 and was ordained a priest in 1998. After a brief

[Goanet] Goa be damned, it's all about freebies

[D'Souza, Avelino]

Goa be damned, it's all about freebies
May 13-19, 2013
Lionel Messias

Goa's Movement for Special Status (GMSS) at the Dando grounds, Benaulim where 
cheques of government freebies such as the Ladli Laxmi and senior citizens 
schemes were distributed, proved to be a disaster because as it happened the 
people came there only to collect their cheques.  Having collected their 
freebies, they left.

This speaks volumes about Goans and issues being fought right now before your 
very eyes.  It is also an indictment of environment minister Alina Saldhana who 
allegedly used the occasion to entice spectators to her faltering GMSS.  
Already there is criticism of her entering the anti-Mopa campaign too late, and 
we will never know if this is a rebound of that criticism.  Goanspirit at least 
does not think so, because this is possibly the finest example of Goans being 
totally not with it.

This is just one example.  I, and admittedly rather foolishly, got dragged into 
an inane ball by ball debate on an equally idiotic post on Goa Speaks on 
Facebook.  By the time you read this I shall have deleted myself as a 
participant of that forum.  This particular post that triggered mostly angry 
replies (barring three respondents who were intelligent) was as a result of an 
earlier post by a maverick politician and dentist.  What really happened was 
just one single person insidiously and not very ingeniously riled everyone 
else. This extremely clever person habitually signed off as Jai Ho.  And what 
anger he created!

My point: are Goans really interested in the issues activists are taking up?  
Or, are we just mere spectators?  And there is a new breed of activists, 
believe me, who are spending their own money, time and energy, which they could 
have spent on their own families.  I met some of them in Nuvem (read the next 
three cover stories beginning this week), and will meet one soon in Orlim.  And 
would you believe it, many of them are women with school/college going kids and 
working husbands.  And trust me they are not the kind that rush to the media 
(vice versa) like the older generation activists.  And there are those warriors 
on FB whose only sacrifice is the possibility of getting carpel tunnel 
syndrome.  It's possible many of them might already unknowingly be afflicted 
with it.
