Roland, This forum is to exchange news, ideas and the opinions of Goans or those who love Goa. Since the first language of most people here is not English, I can easily accept a hodgepodge of spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, horrible sentence construction, etc. when reading the posts. I can understand a connoisseur of the English language surfacing to correct errors. However, this is the very first time I have witnessed a person making a blunder while pointing out a blooper. Perhaps you have now recognized the blunder you made and your self-respect will call on you to admit/correct it. Mervyn
Re: [Goanet] What Vijay Prashad says about Yemen...
Never lived in Yemen, but then those who did, were so long ago and under British control that their experience has little to do with Yemen's current political reality. Here's to your question; Vijay Prashad is near to the mark with everything he says and Yemen is no exception. Saudi Arabia may have all the arms and more that they need, but like their other Gulf neighbours, their army can't fight. They depend on Pakistani army manpower and mercenaries from other countries two of the biggest groups after Pakistan being Yemenis and Sudanese. Since the Yemenis could not be counted on to march against their own, they had to depend solely on air power. There was no need to batter Yemen other than to satisfy the ego and boasting of the King's son and to teach a lesson to Iran. By itself, battle hardy Iran could over-run Saudi Arabia without blinking an eyelid if not for Israel and the USA. Therefore just as well that Russia and China are on Iran's side to keep the American pirate at bay.

[Goanet] GOD BLESS OUR TIGER
Let us pray for our dear Vishnu Wagh's speedy and full recovery. Goa needs all its political Tigers and Lions to roar at the crucial 2017 Assembly elections battle to sedate the current misruling demons and Save what remains of our once Glorious Goa. The Doctors will diagnose, the health ailments of my four decade old friend Vishnu Wagh but my very gut feeling is that for the very secular and outspoken now tongue-tied Deputy Speaker Vishnu Wagh, his repeated cardiac uneasiness must be on account of his present association with the extremely communal and very dictatorial BJP & his utter discomfort with that party. May our dear friend Vishnu bab carve his path ahead and move Forward from his current sordid state of captivity.

Daijiworld.com has been around for less time than Goanet. It has a great website, aesthetically done with commercial sponsors ads and a great app downloadable from ITunes as well as Google Play. Daijiworld boasts of connecting Mangalore to the rest of the world and it is not an empty boast. If Goanet follows suit, it will be no duplication to Goan Voice UK which copies already published news articles. Goanet can get it through contributions and do stuff differently.

Re: [Goanet] Article: Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy: Indians have highest ego per unit of achievement
This brings into question the whole concept of the All-India Services like the IAS. While the fact that it is all-India is a good thing, the other aspects of it are either outdated or irrelevant to a modern progressive country, since it was created by the British for a colonially ruled India. Very few rules and procedures set in the 1930s and 40s have changed for the digital and modern age. Too little emphasis is placed on a technocratic strategy and too much on an administrative mentality. The real pity of it all is that you have countless capable Indians worthy of making good plans with even better success. See the private sector. The outdated bureaucratic machinery of government makes even the most promising recruit a dullard in a short while. Murthy is right!

[Goanet] Bicholim PHC’s modern idle OTs await surgeons
BICHOLIM Though the new primary health centre (PHC) in Bicholim is well-equipped with good infrastructure, the facilities available in the PHC’s operation theatres (OTs) are, however, not operational ever since the PHC’s inauguration a couple of years ago, as the government has failed to appoint surgeons, anaesthetists and radiologists. Even though private hospitals have expressed their willingness to utilise the government infrastructure to provide healthcare facilities to the people after the government said it was considering handing over the OTs in the PHCs to private hospitals, the modalities, however, are yet to be worked out. The government is yet to decide on whether to run these OTs on public private partnership (PPP) mode. The Bicholim PHC has two operation theatres, which are equipped with all the modern and hi-tech systems. While one of the OTs is meant for conducting general surgeries, the other one is dedicated to gynaecology procedures. With the facilities made available in the OTs, all general surgeries with the exception of some major surgeries can be performed in the PHC. Moreover, the PHC also has a provision for a digital control system, which can be used when conducting surgeries. Cleanliness is being maintained in the PHC wards and interiors. The X-ray machine is in working condition while technician is available three days a week. Though sonography and ultrasound facilities are available at the PHC, the procedures cannot be performed for want of a technician. A gynaecologist visits the PHC twice a week. The PHC has a room with provision for sterilizing equipment and a labour room. However, in case of complications during normal delivery, patients are referred to the District Hospital at Mapusa or the Goa Medical College and Hospital at Bambolim, as the PHC lacks a surgeon. The PHC lacks a sufficient number of medical officers, with one of them being deputed to the Sankhali PHC. The Bicholim PHC has sub-health centres under its jurisdiction where the doctors have to pay visit once a week. Besides, three rural medical dispensaries (RMDs) also come under its jurisdiction at Dodamarg, Mayem and Chorao and the medical officers are required to pay visit there too. The PHC, however, has a sufficient number of nurses. The PHC owns two ambulances, which are in good condition. Considering all the facilities and infrastructure available at the Bicholim PHC, if surgeons for conducting ENT, orthopaedic, ophthalmic procedures and other general surgeries are either appointed by the government or the services outsourced to private stakeholders, people residing in the rural areas surrounding Bicholim would be benefitted to a large extent. A senior surgeon was of the opinion that the OTs could be put to good use by starting surgeries not involving major complications like appendectomy, fissures, piles etc.

[Goanet] Twenty-First Sunday of the Year
16-Aug-2016 Dear Friend, In life we often like to consider ourselves as special, as elite, as people who are better than others, more knowledgeable, as God’s favoured ones. Conversely, we tend to look down on people different from us and exclude them from our relationships. God has different criteria from ours for entry into his kingdom. All are welcome to his kingdom! Have a weekend relishing his open invitation to his kingdom! -Fr. Jude Sun Ref. XXI Sunday: “Strive to enter the narrow way! The last shall be first!” 21-Aug-2016Isaiah 66: 18-21; Heb. 12: 5-7, 11-13; Luke 13: 22-30; The first reading from the Book of Isaiah is a prophecy of consolation for the community of Israel gathered again after the exile, but who were still experiencing uncertainty about their future. The prophet proclaims a glorious future in which mankind’s covenant with God is opened to the whole human family. Returnees from every part of the then known world, who had been scattered would return to Jerusalem. Nations of every culture and race will lead the Israelites home. Salvation is extended to all the ends of the earth. For it is through holiness that one will enter the city of God. All invited!A man newly admitted into heaven was being shown around by St. Peter, who pointed out to the many groups residing there. “They’re the Jews….. and those there are the Protestants…. and those are Hindus…and there are the Muslims.” After a while they arrived at an enclave surrounded by a high wall. From inside came sounds of laughter and singing “Who are they?” asked the new arrival. “Hush!” said St. Peter, “They are the Catholics –and they think they are the only ones in heaven!” – In today’s readings we are reminded that ‘Men and women from East and West, from North and South, will come to take their place at the feast in the Kingdom of God.’Francis Gonsalves in ‘Sunday Seeds for Daily Deeds’ Today’s gospel reminds us that we are on a pilgrimage to our heavenly home. But we must make sure that we are on the right path moving in the right direction! Will everyone reach their final destination? Will everyone be saved? Jesus never answers the question about the number to be saved. He stresses rather the effort to be made on the journey and that the way is narrow and not easy. Secondly, Jesus speaks about the closed door, namely people cannot take for granted that just because they are along the way, just because of set rituals and practices they will be saved. There is nothing that definitely guarantees automatic salvation. There are no reserved places, nor favoured people whose salvation is guaranteed. Yet on the other hand there are no people who are excluded from heaven. God has no favourites yet everyone is a favourite of God. Heaven will be full of surprises. Many who are despised will find themselves in heaven and many who considered themselves holy and better than others may not find themselves in heaven. The Jews had considered themselves as the chosen ones and that God was only the God of Israel. Jesus reminds them that many pagans and the prostitutes will enter the kingdom of God, while many who rejected the Messiah would be excluded from God’s kingdom. “Those who are now last will be the first, and those who are now first will be the last.” The last shall be first!Barbara Hutton, the Woolworth heiress, was known as the ‘Poor little rich girl.’ Since her mother died when she was five, Barbara Hutton described her childhood as an unhappy one. She said, “Though I had millions of dollars, I had no mother and no home.” Nor was her adult life a happy one. She was married seven times and was a princess three of those times. A virtual recluse, she died in 1979 at age 66. A newspaper article summed up her life with the words: “Barbara Hutton died unmarried and alone, a symbol of the cliché that money does not buy happiness.” By way of contrast, consider the life of Dorothy Day. She was known as “the mother of the faceless poor of the city’s off scouring.” She always felt she existed for a special purpose. She discovered that purpose when she became a Catholic at age 30 and dedicated her life to help the poor. Dorothy Day founded and edited the Catholic Worker newspaper, went to prison as a suffragist, and established farm communes and hospices for the dispossessed. When she died in 1980 at age 83, Time Magazine called her a “secular saint”. Barbara Hutton and Dorothy Day illustrate somewhat the proverb cited by our Lord today: “There are those now last who will be first, and those now first who will be last.”Albert Cylwicki in ‘His Word Resounds’ The narrow wayI think of what happens on the freeway or expressway when there is a bad accident. The police close off three lanes; only one single lane is open, which is like the narrow door. All the traffic slows down and at times comes to a complete stop because of the bottleneck. As I think of the narrow door Jesus

Re: [Goanet] On August 19, What Should I Ask Selma at the release of Baker, Butcher, Doctor, Diplomat: Goan Pioneers of East Africa?
Roland wrote: > Great Augusto, > Make it a Hardtalk kind of thing. > Selma has been having it too easy. Give her a good old fashioned > metaphorical rub down. > Will look forward to it. One lacuna seems to plague most Goan writing about its diaspora. That is, it comes across as a narration of a series of stories primarily of those who emerged as heroes (there are few, if any, heroines). The stories are presented as if Goan migration has no historical context, no reasons for it happening on such a large scale, and no push or pull factors. It almost appears as if Catholic Goans migrated en masse of their own volition and without any external pressures. (This large-scale migration had sharp consequences to the community as a whole, both outside Goa and within. Including, for instance, reducing themselves to a minority in their homeland of Goa as a whole circa 1925, intense language loss, sudden affluence and its complications, continued migration even further ashore over later generations, &c) How can we understand Goan migration to Pakistan without understanding British colonial policy in the Sind, or the "stationing" of British troops in colonial Goa during the Napoleonic wars? Or, Goan migration to Burma without setting it against the background of the Anglo-Burma wars, all of them? In the case of Goan migration to East Africa, the issues of (i) the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1878 and its relationship with the large-scale immiserisation of Goans (ii) English language education in parts of coastal Bardez (iii) and British colonial policy in Africa after Berlin, which would seem to be intricately connected with this story. Likewise, the impact of Republican Rule in Portugal (and its link with, say, the opening up of English medium education in Goa -- as seen at Parra and Saligao around 1910-1912 plus other factors which led to the launching of more English-medium schools around the mid-1940s) might also be relevant here. Selma might say that this all is beyond the scope of her book, which is primarily a set of pictorialised biographies of the achievers and winners in that region. But, without the background, these stories would be obviously less complete. To be fair, this is not a criticism of this work alone. I'm not sure why these aspects don't get covered -- whether it's the apolitical nature of the Goan community in general, or whether we think it could just cut into (and unwittingly counter) the very narrative that is sought to be built up. FN PS: If I recall right, Marshall had asked somewhere online (Facebook?) whether there were any Goan butchers in East Africa... or was that used just to make the title sound good? To reply a part of Thalmann's question on the Goa Book Club, from what I've read Goan bakers were quite prominent in the Goan community in Bombay in the 18th/19th centuries (if I got the time-frame right). This is going by the writings of Dr Teresa Albuquerque in *Goan Pioneers in Bombay*. As entrepreneurs, some very apparently very affluent and did well for themselves. -- _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ _/ Frederick Noronha | http://about.me/noronhafrederick | http://goa1556.in _/ P +91-832-2409490 M 9822122436 Twitter @fn Facebook: fredericknoronha _/ Goa,1556 CC shared audio content https://archive.org/details/goa1556 _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
