[Goanet] Pension reimterpreted

2023-01-08 Thread Nelson Lopes
Pension to employee's was considered as delayed wages and a sign  of
gratitude
It then was extended to Govt employees  and other Departments as social
security measure.There is claim on pension for any dues and pension accrues
to immediate family
The ludicrous extension of pension to MLA's, MP's  even for one day in
office was violating tenets of pension statutes. As citizens began
criticizing ;   pension was extended to freedom fighters at state and
central level . The process of identification and recommendations of FF
leaves much to be desired.Now more categories are clamouring for the same
and it is being  granted to seamen  , widows, artists,  .handicapped,
motorcycle pilots and senior citizens
The criteria must strictly be followed that only the most deserving and
vulnerable to economic deprivation are  considered in any  category
The Govt now invests only the employees contribution to pension fund and
accruing interests will be the amount of pension.It is in a way to reduce
Govt outgo on pension bill.In the same breath  the politicians too must
subscribe to pension fund and be eligible accordingly
The seaman are now agitating for the same from the Govt and not from
company they served
The seamen repatriate huge amount of foreign exchange during their service
The Govt offers Subsidies and drawback for exexporting goods and earning
foreign exchange The seamen on disembarking are heavily and mercilessly
charged  duties even on  consumer goods for the family.Even then the most
deserving financially alone must be considered after thorough inquiry   of
their assets. WHAT anout those who have been paying income tax through  out
be not given similar relief
Citizens forget that all these pension schemes are funded by citizens
paying direct and indirect taxes  and thus bearing the burden of popular
schemes that help politicians to perpetuate their  stay in power

[Goanet] THE CORRUPTION IN WASTE MANAGEMENT STINKS

2023-01-08 Thread Aires Rodrigues
Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has finally publicly acknowledged that there
is rampant corruption in Waste Management. But why did it take the Chief
Minister so long to realise something that was known to all.  We need to
know what action the government plans to take to crack this corruption.

Over the years successive governments have miserably abdicated their
bounden duty to address the issue of garbage disposal. Now people have been
dumping their waste all over even throwing it brazenly into our rivers and
lakes. The gravity of the situation has been highlighted by our High Court
which has been monitoring the garbage crisis. It has even necessitated the
creation of a Ministry for Waste Management.

The flow of high-end tourists into Goa has been adversely affected on
account of our towns, villages and even the beaches being inundated with
garbage. Over the years the Tourism department has spent crores on so
called beach cleaning but what has been done is only the emptying of the
State coffers.

Goa needs three or four more garbage disposal plants in order to ensure the
proper handling of garbage across the State. Effective Garbage Disposal
needs a complete and total solution looking at every aspect, including the
type of Garbage, collection of Garbage and the Disposal and recycling of
Garbage. Conventional and Modern methods of Garbage Collection and Disposal
must be studied and put in place.

Furthermore, it needs a program of education with clearly laid down
procedures for the people. There must also be an effective and honest
policing of the guidelines coupled with punitive action for persistent
wrongdoers. All this necessitates a sizable investment from the Government
which must be fully utilized for the purpose intended and is an investment
worth making.

Honours shared between Rajasthan United and Mohammedan Sporting in Delhi


*Rajasthan United FC 1 (Joseba Beitia (p) 88’)*
*drew with**Mohammedan Sporting (Marcus Joseph 81’)*

*AIFF Media Team*

*NEW DELHI: *A match that remained as cold as the chilly evening here at
Ambedkar Stadium for 80 minutes, sprang to life in the last ten to end in a
tense 1-1 draw. Mohammedan Sporting’s workhorse captain Marcus Joseph gave
his side the lead in the 81st minute with a brilliant left-footer. But his
Rajasthan United counterpart Joseba Beitia scored from the spot seven
minutes later to equalise.

For the fourth match this season, the Kolkata side failed to hold on to
their lead, adding just one point to their kitty. Joseph, however, moved up
to joint-third in the list of top-scorers with his fourth goal.

One could say Mohammedan Sporting wasted an opportunity to bag three
points, but coach Kibu Vicuna would recognise he owes this point more to
Rajasthan’s mistakes than anything else. Beitia and his men created a lot
of chances but could not convert them. In fact, the Spaniard himself wasted
a penalty in the 29th minute before scoring with a scorching right-footer
second time round. Apart from that, the Desert Warrior’s Kyrgyz recruit
Atai Dzhumashev was incredibly unlucky as two of his free-kicks in either
half (6th and 76th minute) hit the crossbar and the post respectively. Had
the second one gone in, it would have been a world-class goal. So on
another day, Pushpender Kundu’s men could have won this match by a good
margin.

However, the fact that the home goalkeeper Rafique Ali Sardar was selected
the Hero of the Match proves Mohammedan Sporting have had their moments.
Poor finishing ailed them. That started from the fourth minute of the match
when Syrian defender Shaher Shaheen failed to keep his volley off a Marcus
cross down. Rafique made the first of his heroic saves in the 15th minute
when Kean Lewis made a brilliant run from the left and found Marcus in the
middle of the box. But Jagdeep Singh made a golden block. However, Marcus
got a second chance which Rafique kept out. He once again denied Mohmmedan
Sporting in the 35th minute as Abiola Dauda got a loose ball inside the box.

As soon as the second half got underway, Lewis found a lot of space in
front of him and looked set to score as no Rajasthan United defender was
around to stop

[Goanet] The Chinês Clandestinos of Lisbon

2023-01-08 Thread eric pinto
 
 Planning a trip to Lisbon? Visit these secret underground restaurants and 
Lisbon's tastiest secret.

These Chinese home restaurants are a mainstay of Lisbon’s eclectic Mouraria 
neighbourhood

An Asian supermarket in Lisbon, Portugal. 

By Raul Dias
"Once you’ve exited the Martim Moniz metro station, head down Rua do Benformoso 
and let your nose lead you to your destination...” I find myself grappling with 
the inadequacy of this set of instructions supplied by Ignacio Pinto, a friend 
who is hosting me at his Lisbon apartment on my short trip to the Portuguese 
capital.


t’s already 8pm. Way past my dinner time. The only smell that’s perking up my 
olfactory senses, and thereby, exacerbating my hunger, is that of a certain 
smokable, dried leaf that isn’t tobacco. But I’d been suitably warned of this, 
too. For, the artsy neighbourhood of Mouraria that I’ve just been propelled 
into, is widely considered to be Lisbon’s hotbed of counter culture and 
subversion.

Once the city’s Moorish quarter, the gritty, graffiti-strewn Mouraria of today 
is located a stone’s throw away from Lisbon’s famed, hill-topped Castelo de São 
Jorge. Fittingly, this is also where the iconic Portuguese Fado music scene was 
birthed and flourished at the turn of the 20th century. It was made popular by 
Mouraria’s most famous resident, Maria Severa.

But my quest today has more to do with Mouraria’s multi-ethnic identity, one 
that sees the neighbourhood providing a safe haven for scores of recent 
immigrants—from Cape Verde, Mozambique, West Bengal and, more pertinently, 
China.

I’m in Mouraria to check out a unique concept that has existed since the mid 
2000s: Chinês clandestinos. Literally translated as ‘clandestine Chinese’, 
these are secret underground restaurants run by enterprising Chinese 
immigrants, akin to an American prohibition-era speakeasy of sorts.

There are believed to be at least a hundred such places scattered around 
Lisbon, but mostly concentrated in Mouraria. These are born out of both 
homesickness and as a means to earn a living for the immigrants, offering some 
very affordable, wholesome—if a tad inauthentic—Chinese fare.


Unnamed and deliciously clandestine, they are often makeshift establishments 
fashioned out of living rooms, mostly on the upper floors of rundown and 
ramshackle old apartment buildings along streets like Rua da Guia, Rua do 
Capelão and the aforementioned Rua do Benformoso that I am currently loitering 
around. Eateries that can only be found via word of mouth. Or, by some serious 
food sleuthing.

Number 59, Rua do Benformoso, my Chinês clandestino of the night, is one such 
establishment. It can only be identified by the bright red Chinese lantern that 
hangs from a second story balcony of a decrepit, almost tenement-like building. 
I cautiously make my way up the rickety flight of stairs.
Almost identical in concept to the famous paladares of Havana, Cuba—small, 
family-run restaurants, usually in a converted part of a home—these Chinês 
clandestinos operate in a somewhat quasi-legal manner, with little or no 
adherence to the rather lax safety, hygiene and indoor smoking laws put in 
place by the Lisbon municipality.

All this is rather apparent as I’m ushered into a dimly lit, graffiti-bedecked 
living room, shrouded in a veil of cigarette smoke. The stale fetidness 
intermingles with the delicious food aromas wafting in from the attached 
kitchen. Besides the omnipresent graffiti, the interior ‘decor’ features tacky, 
modern chinoiserie decorative tchotchkes like those ubiquitous good luck waving 
gold-painted plastic cats, tattered posters of the Great Wall, etc. Almost 
everything is in varying stages of decay.

I’m handed a dog-eared, illustrated menu card by my server. In broken English, 
she tells me that she’s the niece of the proprietor and a student from the 
erstwhile Portuguese colony of Macau, here to learn Portuguese literature. I’m 
also given a slip of paper and pencil to tick out what all I’d like to try. 
Now, this seems like a herculean task. The menu is huge, to say the very least. 
And nothing is over 5 Euros a portion!


The menu features dishes that fall into two broad categories. One is full of 
ersatz versions of some of Chinese cuisine’s greatest hits like Peking duck and 
youpo chemian (biangbiang noodles), among others. The other is the kind one 
sees when Chinese food is appropriated and adapted to suit the local taste, 
much like our very own desi brand of Chindian or Peru’s Chifa cuisines.

The Sino-Portuguese dishes that I plumb for take the form of excellent 
appetisers like ravioli frito, which are the Portuguese version of fried pork 
dumplings and the tongue-numbingly spicy tofu picante mapu (an iteration of 
mapu tofu). For mains, I tempt fate once again and am rewarded with a tasty 
fusion-style curried prawn dish from Macau called camarão de Macaense. I mop 
this with pão frito, the Portuguese riff on a Chinese bun that is fried

‘We dream of reviving the glory days of Indian Football,’ says Kalyan
Chaubey at launch of 'Vision 2047'

AIFF Media Team

NEW DELHI: The All India Football Federation unveiled its strategic roadmap
with ‘Vision 2047’ in the presence of various members of the media in New
Delhi on Saturday, January 7, 2023. The long due roadmap, ‘Vision 2047’,
hopes that in the country’s centenary year of independence, India will also
emerge as a new powerhouse of Asian football.

Developed in conjunction with all stakeholders within Indian Football, the
roadmap has also sought and incorporated inputs from the Asian Football
Confederation (AFC) and FIFA. The salient ambitions of the roadmap are to
see India among the top four footballing nations in Asia, host one of the
top leagues in Asia, and create a vibrant footballing ecosystem.

‘Vision 2047’ has been broken down, for diligent implementation, into six
four-year strategic plans. The first of these will look to cover the period
till 2026. “Vision 2047 paints a picture of where we want to position
Indian Football at the outset of a hundred years of our nation’s
independence,” AIFF President Mr Kalyan Chaubey said at the event.

“At a time when India’s role is becoming increasingly prominent on the
world stage, we embark on a journey as ambitious as our nation itself.
However, this is not a journey for the Federation alone, but one that will
be traversed together by every entity that is connected to Indian Football.

“With a shared vision and by sharing responsibility, we can implement
targeted programmes to address key areas identified in this roadmap and
help build capacity for the football ecosystem,” Mr Chaubey said. “I dream
of reviving the glory days of Indian Football as it was in the 1950s and
60s and becoming a powerhouse of Asian football once again. It is our right
to dream and our duty to do everything it takes to fulfil that dream.
Together, we can aspire to take Indian Football to peaks never scaled
before.”

One of the key aspects of the roadmap is to ensure increased access to
competition and games for players plying their trade in the country. By
2047, the Federation wants to ensure players will be able to play at least
55 matches across different competitions every season.

“Transformation will begin at home through a reform of the organisational
culture,” Secretary General Dr Shaji Prabhakaran said, referring to a need
for better governance of the game across the country. “A restructuring
exercise will be carried out to streamline current operations and develop a
team which adopts the industry’s best practices and is transparent in its
dealings.”

"By 2036, the centenary of the Federation," Dr Prabhakaran said, "India
will be among the top seven countries in Asia, and a strong contender to
qualify for the World Cup on merit."

The Federation recognises that growth in modern sport requires a business
outlook. The Federation will dedicate an entire division — Business and
marketing — to develop, cultivate and invite investment and partnerships in
Indian Football.

In lieu of the same, the Federation will support Member Associations with
capacity building and help them rise in the Football Pyramid by providing
highly relevant ‘Support Solutions’. This support will enable them to be
self-sufficient by 2027 and in turn help the ecosystem thrive.

The Federation observed that at the grassroots, the beautiful game,
currently, has low participation relative to its size and population. There
is a huge gender disparity in participation, and a lack of facilities and
playfields in urban areas where children can come out and play. A lack of
cohesion and focus between different stakeholders has led to significant
gaps in funding.

The AIFF’s 2026 target is to reach 35 million children through grassroots
programmes and implement village grassroot programmes across 100 villages
throughout India. The flagship grassroots project will also aim to register
1 million registered players and provide football education to 25 million
children through Football for Schools.

The Federation recognised that while women’s football has been growing
rapidly across the world, it has previously received very little attention
in India. The weak ecosystem needs specific solutions to help increase
participation and competency across the pyramid. Some of the proposed
solutions include better adoption of women’s football by clubs across
different levels, incentivising the role of coaches, referees and match
commissioners for women, as well as providing a minimum salary to women’s
players.

By 2026 — the period of the first strategic plan — the Federation will
ensure the creation of a four-level league table pyramid, the top of which
will be occupied by the Indian Women’s League (featuring 10 teams),
followed by the 2nd Division (8 teams). In addition, there will be five
zonal leagues with eight teams each. In addition, a new women’s youth
league structure has been proposed, which will see

*India U-20 Women to commence training camp in Chennai*



*AIFF Media Team*



*NEW DELHI: *Newly appointed India U-20 Women’s National Team head coach
Maymol Rocky has called up a total of 35 players for a training camp in
Chennai.



The team will be preparing for the SAFF U-20 Championship and the AFC U-20
Women’s Asian Cup Qualifiers, which will be held in February and March,
respectively. The training camp gets underway from Monday, January 9

Some of them have already played for the senior team,” said Maymol Rocky,
who will also be joined by Senior Women’s Team head coach Thomas Dennerby
for a brief period while during the camp.



“We intend to use that mixture of experience and enthusiasm to build this
squad and do well at the SAFF and the Asian levels. We are also getting
approximately a month to train these girls and narrow down on the core
squad, which will really help them prepare for the upcoming challenges,”
said Maymol.



Maymol, a former India defender herself, was previously the head coach of
the Senior Women’s Team, and now returns to the National Team fold after a
brief hiatus.



“On a personal note, it's great to be coaching in the National Teams once
again. It's always an honour to have the India crest at heart,” she said.
