Love it!, from VJP to BJP. Boze, bolinhas, and firkeo.
I just may may make it to the top layers of Goan society, with all the
extended support that may suddenly be my lot after all these years.

I am an intuit. Period. Many on Goanet are master analysts or so I still
believe.

[Goanet] GOANET : HERALD'S E-PAPER TO GO PAID

[Stephen Dias]

Dear Readers of Herald

The news is spread like fire throughout the state of Goa in this  NEW Year
2018  due to changes have taken place for those who are used to go online
and Herald is the paper which  Goans now cannot read online from today
onwards unless the payment is made as per their terms and conditions for
payment procedure.
This was shocking news for all of us. Most of us are used to get up in the
early morning, even at 3 AM or 4 AM  onwards and go to the computer to read
the news but surprisingly Herald cannot be accessed if payment is not made
in advance. Those Goans who are settled abroad must have also got the
shocking news or jerk and especially those staying in Gulf, Canada, UK,
Australia, US and other parts of the world will not get the VOICE OF GOA
instantly if payment is not made, and who knows slowly other newspapers
will follow the same system. This will give another jerk for Goans if all
other newspapers follow the same tactics.
Herald said this amount is just a peanut and it cost less than a cup of
tea. Fine, I agree but how many people go for tea in restaurants/cafe's  as
they most of them prefer to have tea at home in the morning,  but the
newspapers are a usual style for Goans even before brushing teeth to see or
read the paper online.The cost of newspapers in Goa is only Rs 5/- for
Herald, Navhind Times, and others are still less than that. I am not
surprised that this cost also will increase for all the newspapers in days
to come.
New Year started with a bang on Herald to read this paper on LINE which is
so bad?
Will the owner of Herald take it back?  All the newspapers get
advertisement enough and thus make their expenses well calculated. This way
Voice of Goa will come down and people may not know what is happening in
Goa until they buy Herald paper through their agents or stalls etc.
Therefore the speed of spreading news fast will be curtailed and hence
people will get used to staying home with no news till lunch break thus NEW
YEAR we can say gave us a  set back for those who are accustomed to reading
Herald early in the morning on LINE.
What about writers?   why do they not get their pocket money once they
write some articles or letters to the Editor? They too should be given some
benefit since they waste their time and petrol cost for their
bikes/vehicles, photography etc to get the news promptly to the newspapers
and none of the papers so far thought of them except for their usual
columnists who are well satisfied and almost same writers is been
benefitted and not others. Will that trend of payment will start for these
writers? Let all get their benefit of some pocket money including the
owners of newspapers.

Herald, the Goa-based newspaper, has announced that its online epaper will
go paid from January 3, 2018.

It's announcement in its newspaper today showed up on its front page, and
was headlined: "Nominal monthly subscription for Herald's epaper from Jan
3. At Rs 4.30 per day, Herald requests its family of readers to support its
paper's digital evolution."

After saying that the paper was being read "in the eastern hemisphere...

Re: [Goanet] The liberation of Goa: How Nehru defied the U.S. and used force against the Portuguese

[Eugene Correia]

The words used By Venatius to characterize Nehtu seems like the current 
language used by the BJP to describe the Nehru family. i think Nehru was 
sincere in his remarks that Goa enjoys a distinct identity. But so was 
Pondicherry (now Puducherry). 
unlike the French, Portugal didn't want to leave with respect. Many blame Nehru 
for taking the case of Kashmir to the UN. 
In hindsight, one can say that Liberation/Aggression has brought mixed results. 
Goan youngsters sre getting education and a chance to do well in life. Yeah, 
the top layers of Goan society feel their power has been curtailed to a large 
degree. 
Opinions are divided.

[Goanet] Nehru defied the U.S. He had defied reason, and elementary economics.

[eric pinto]

               Kennedy was a socialist, of sorts, so one condone his empathy 
for the gay Oxford variety that lurked    on Janpath. One can see his early 
effort to wean Shri white topi from the embrace of the Great Bear. Sir 
Socialist    was on the lookout for a rescue from the impending bankruptcy 
wrought by the second Five year Plan. The First    had ended in calamity, and 
ignomy was delayed by the seizure of eighty percent of all bank deposits in 
1952.    Uncle Kruschev had litttle to offer  after the second debacle in 1960, 
but looming in the distance was the potential    for pay dirt out of the 
Estado's ferrous hills. Sesa, Dempo and Salgaocar did pay up, in good 
measure.---
 The story of Nehru defying Kennedy is "diplomatic" spin. Kennedy seemingly 
okayed India's plan but kept public silence. The US didn't get NATO into action 
as Portugal demanded. Portugal was part of the alliance. 
Kennedy was convinced that Portugal was adamant in clinging to Goa,  USA 
Ambassador, John Kenneth Galbraith, a Canadian-born US diplomat, played a big 
role. earlier, Canadian Ambassador, Escott Reid, was also on India's side. 
Portugal was not paying heed to USA's plea to give up Goa. Portugal also defied 
India's diplomatic efforts, till Nehru, pushed by circumtances and pressure 
from the freedom fighters and Defence Minister Krishna Menon, ordered the army 
to march into Goa.

What has happened since the, and the current problems, were not expected. But

Re: [Goanet] The liberation of Goa:

[Gilbert Lawrence]

GL responds:
Thank you for posting some historical facts.  Goans are never short of opinions 
on this issue as we have just seen.
I had posed the suggestion made by Francis to one of the sons of "Goan rulers". 
 In response to -
Was Goa prior to 1961 an economically viable entity?
His response:  Goa was a negative balance of payment for Portugal.  
This was despite the fact that Goa had no infrastructure to speak of.
When Goan had the blockade, it had to import rice from Burma.  Imagine!  We did 
not (and still do not) produce enough rice to feed native Goans.  Now consider 
that more than half of Goans live (d) outside Goa. 
Folks seem to loose sight of the fact that right now Goans are ruled by Goans 
who are elected by Goans.   And of course the response is :  Yes ... but

[Goanet] Sex traffickers target poor communities in India. This group aims to stop them

[Con Menezes]

Operation Red Alert aims to end sex trafficking 
in India by 2025. Photo courtesy of My Choices Foundation

Sex traffickers target poor communities in 
India. This group aims to stop them
By Larisa Epatko, PBS NewsHour

“Economic freedom doesn’t actually mean that 
much if you’re in a highly abusive situation,” said Elca Grobler, who 
originally planned to use her background in finance and investment banking to 
train Indian women in financial literacy and development.

Instead Grobler started My Choices Foundation 
soon after moving with her family from Australia to India in 2011. The 
organization has since grown to 24 staff members with two main objectives: 
preventing sex trafficking and domestic violence in India.

In the South Asian country of 1.3 billion 
people, there is an innate power imbalance between men and women, said Grobler. 
Women grow up as a commodity of the family, then they get married and become a 
commodity of their husband’s family, she said. “It’s something that’s inherent 
in a patriarchal culture. Women are not viewed as who they are but what they 
are.”

A ranking of women’s well-being per country — 
based on their inclusion, justice and security — by the Georgetown Institute 
for Women, Peace and Security and the Peace Research Institute of Oslo puts 
India at No. 131 among 152 countries.

Grobler said India lacks governmental resources 
and infrastructure to address domestic abuse, and women often feel too ashamed 
to seek help. When they finally do reach out, it is after years of abuse and 
they are at their wits’ end.

One night a woman called on the helpline, 
begging Kranthi Ahron, a My Choices Foundation team member, to take care of her 
children because she wanted to end her life. Ahron remembers the case from when 
she first started as a counsellor with Operation PeaceMaker, the group’s 
initiative to end violence against women and girls at home.

The woman was married to an alcoholic, who was 
abusive and didn’t let her work as a fruit-seller for days at a time when he 
suspected her of being unfaithful. “She suffered emotionally — and 
economically,” Ahron said.

After speaking with her for an hour, Ahron told 
her to wait until the morning before doing anything drastic, so she could meet 
the woman’s children. The next day, she saw the woman, who told her, “I’m alive 
and I’m taking good care of my kids.”

Her turnaround surprised them both. “I gave 
some time to her, and helped her know someone cared,” Ahron said.

Operation PeaceMaker offers free counselling to 
survivors of abuse and their families, and provides legal advice if the 
survivors want to take any formal action. The counsellors are local women 
trained to work within their own communities. They also run workshops to 
educate whole communities on how they can support each other in preventing 
abuse.

Ahron is now a state coordinator in southern 
India for Operation Red Alert, the organization’s other main initiative to 
prevent sex trafficking by teaching families how they can keep their daughters 
safe.

The Global Slavery Index for 2016 says more 
than 18 million people in India live in slavery, such as forced labor or 
marriage, although it does not specify how many women and girls are coerced 
into the sex trade in particular. Worldwide, the tally of modern-day slaves is 
about 40 million, according to the index, which means nearly half are in India.

Sex traffickers target poor communities, 
because they can lure girls into their service by offering to pay families’ 
debts, finding the girls jobs and making other promises. Australian analytics 
firm Quantium developed an algorithm to help the group identify at-risk 
communities based on factors such as poverty level, distance to police stations 
and transportation systems, education and literacy.

The behavioral researchers at Final Mile in 
Mumbai helped Grobler and her team devise the best way to approach fathers 
about trafficking, and it was to appeal to their sense of protectiveness in a 
positive way. Fathers often are the key decision-makers in families and sex 
traffickers approach them the most.

Through the program, fathers learn that 
investing in their daughters’ future by educating them will benefit the family 
and the community more than an early marriage or sending them away to work. “We 
speak to the good in the fathers,” and empower them with what to look
