[Goanet] An Elected Politician goes underground should be punished with LIFE IMPRISONMENT.
What is this going on….. Goa Govt. Tourism Minister resigns and goes under ground. Lookout notice issued against him. Applies for Anticipatory Bail to Session Court, High court and their after Supreme Court. Everywhere it is rejected. After few days news floats that he will appear before CID office on Saturday 3rd July 2010 at 10.30am. Police Party and his supporters waits for his arrival in heavy rains. Instead he surrenders at Session Court, Margao. CID ask for his Custody. Court sends him to Judicial Custody pending decision. . A Cabinet Minister of Goa Govt. remains under ground for few days and sends his resignation letter which CM Digamber Kamat promptly accepts and there after he is untraceable to Police for over a 3 weeks and Court send him for judicial custody. Is there any separate LAW for few? A Minister/Politician going underground should directly be sent to Life imprisonment. Every one in Goa knew that MICKY is wanted. All the borders Goa State as also International Borders were sealed as Police had informed. Goa Police were protecting him with security cover at least till he resign. Mickey must be staying somewhere in Goa, he has passed various information as also a note which reached to CM for approval was signed by him after going underground. Inquiry should be initiated against all those who helped Mickey to remain under ground. Similar is the case of Police Hawaldar Parab who remained under ground for over 2 weeks in Goa in a Drug dealing case finally surrendered before session Judge. Its very bad trend and Goa's images has stained. How is that Politicians when arrested are send to ICU by Doctors? In fact there should be strict action against such Doctors and Politicians. We people should demand 1.An Elected Politician goes underground should be punished with LIFE IMPRESNMENT. 2.A Doctor recommends a person in Custody for ICU treatment on flimsy grounds should face consequences.

[Goanet] Agitation should not go wayward. Lokmat May 19 2010
Andolan Bharkatu naye, Agitation should not go wayward. http://epaper.lokmat.com/ArticleImage.aspx?article=19_05_2010_004_001&mode=1 In today’s (May 19, 2010) editorial Lokamt Marathi daily , although new to Goa, but having highest Goan readership has raised a very valid point. Demonstrations, agitation are essence of Democracy. Those who lead the demonstration should .take every step that agitation does not go wayward due to their egoistic and aggressive approach. Chief Minister Digambar Kamat has met the delegation of the demonstrator. He also gave assurance to look into the matter with due sympathy. He was also right to refuse to meet people outside. It was the duty of the delegation to control the feelings of agitating group. Agitators were so violent that they attacked Police and went to the extent that few lady constables cloths were tore down, “Kahi Mahila Constabalche kapade fadale” and few were injured. My comments : Democracy is most beautiful gift to law abiding citizens. We must preserve it. If we want good governance it is not only duty of Administrator and Politicians but agitators should take up most care that agitation in no way take a violent turn. आंदोलाकांची मजल महिला कॉन्स्टेबळांचे कपडे फाडण्यापर्यंत जाते हि फार लाजिरवाणी गोष्ट आहे. कायद्याचे पालन करण्यार्या सामान्य जनतेला लोकशाही हे एक वरदान आहे. चांगले शासन जर आपल्याला हवे असेल तर ती जबाबदारी फक्त नोकरशाही व राजकारण्यावर टाकून चालणार नाही. आंदोलन कर्त्यांचा म्होरक्यांनी योग्य काळजी घेतली पाहिजे कि आंदोलन कोणत्याही परीस्तीतीत हाताबाहेर जाऊ नये. योग्य संयम हाच यशस्वतेचा पाया आहे.

Only 7 BPL families in Taleigao. I am please to learn in today’s Gramsabha of Taliegao that there are only 7 Below Poverty line Families in Taleigao. Budget of 2010/11 was passed and Accounts for 2009/10 were approved in this Gramsabha. It will be interesting to note that Construction in 10/11 will come down by over 35%. In the year 09/10 Panchayat has collected over 70 lacks as Construction License fees However they have budgeted only Rs 45 lacks for 10/11 towards Construction License fees. It also looks like most of illegal contraction will be destroyed as House tax collection in the year 09/10 was 58.99 lacks, however for 10/11 Panchayat has budgeted only 55 lacks towards House Tax Collection. Gramsabha was very noisy. Mr. Raikar, Anand Madgaocar and Anabela raised many quires regarding garbage and illegal construction and agricultural land convertion without any concrete proof. I have offered myself to train chess to Balwadi Sevikas free of cost till Dec 2010. If Balwadi Sevikas learn Chess children from poor families will learn chess.

If not who can help us? The Mumbai terrorist attack has proved how unorganized we are at all levels. Government, people and the media. Are we going to live in insecurity because our protectors are insufficient? On whom should we relied upon? In spite of increased income, boom of technology, profusion of consumerist facilities, the social, family and personal life is becoming drab. Conflicts, frustrations, tensions, and suicides are increasing. Divorces are one step rise. Are we going to wait for somebody to come and rescues? If not whom should we approach? The environmental degradation pollution of our food stuff, our water, our air and ambience is rising uncontrolled. It has reached the highest level of the knocking our doors. Which Government has caused this? Who is supposed to rectify it? Who can do it? The answer to all the above questions is we. Let us move forward relying on strength of we. Let us clean up ourselves of inner and outer dirt, self centeredness, dependencies and weaknesses. The move has taken a good shape in and around Ponda. Nirmal Vishwa is only a facilitator to this cause. Dear citizens, Now the stage is set for garbage free Taleigao/Panaji and surrounding area by dry garbage donation program. Store your clean dry garbage of following type for a fortnight. 1. Soft plastic like plastic bags, wrappers. 2. Hard plastic like boxes, bottles, cans, spoiled pans, refills. 3. Papers like raddi, torn papers, note book, paper boxes, cartons. 4. Metal like packing strips, tins, foil, wire, spare parts. 5. Bottles, broken glass, cloth, thermocol etc. Pack all the above compactly and place it in any of the collection points on Specified Day of the week. The garbage of the types below will not be accepted 1. Wet garbage like food items, fruits, vegetable waste, grass and plants material. 2. Dry and wet mixed garbage and dirty garbage. 3. Building debris like broken bricks, tiles, cement items etc. 4. Chemicals and hazardous waste. Once the management of dry garbage is complete, we look in to wet garbage which is an easier task.

Electronic Voting Machines can be tampered with, and a team of experts have demonstrated exactly how it's done, using an EVM from Maharashtra By Alka Shukla & Jaison Lewis Posted On Thursday, May 06, 2010 at 12:23:25 AM On March 29, 2010, Pune Mirror carried a report on how Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) are easy to hack into. Why your Vote may not count? http://www.punemirror.in/index.aspx?page=article§id=62&contentid=2010032920100329022614001c24ca9§xslt= Now, there is proof. Setting of alarm bells well in time for the next election in 2012, a team of researchers used a machine from the state to demonstrate two ways in which the results could have been rigged. The researchers, in a report posted on their website, showed precisely how a display component could be replaced with a fake substitute programmed to steal a percentage of the votes in favour of a chosen candidate. They also exposed how stored votes could be changed between the election and the public counting session, which in India can be weeks later, with a pocket-sized device. The team, comprising Hyderabad-based NetIndia, Dr J Alex Halderman, a professor and noted expert on electronic voting security from the University of Michigan and Holland-based security expert Rop Gonggrijp, was instrumental in the ban on EVMs in the Netherlands. Last year, NetIndia Managing Director Hari Prasad had demonstrated how the instrument could have been tampered with, but he could prove this only theoretically as the election commission didn’t provide him with a real EVM. “This time, a bureaucrat provided us with a real EVM,” said Prasad. He was vocal about the vulnerability of EVMs even as the chief election commission vouched for their ‘infallibility’ last year. Indian EVMs record votes only onto the internal memory of the system. There are no paper records that allow for inspection or recount. In fact, the vote-counting software in the EVMs is programmed to not allow the software to be read out and verified. “Since these chips are made in the US and Japan, this has led to a situation where nobody in India knows for sure what software is in these machines or whether it counts votes accurately,” reads the report.

In this context, the HJS has launched a state wide campaign in this regard.

[Goanet] The Obama administration has been repeatedly kicking us in the back.
http://news.rediff.com/column/2010/mar/20/headley-terror-david-case-us-has-let-down-india-badly.htm The Obama administration has been repeatedly kicking us in the back. It did so in respect of Afghanistan. It has done so in respect of Headley. Instead of having the courage and intellectual honesty to admit to our people that we have been let down nastily by the US, we are indulging in more spins to project the kicks as, in fact, bouquets from Obama with love. Dear Dr Manmohan Singh, Dear Chidambaram, Dear Pillai, and dear journalists of the Hindu and TOI: Some weeks ago Mulla Baradar, supposedly No 2 in the Afghan Taliban [ Images ], was arrested by the Inter Services Intelligence in Karachi. He is in the ISI's custody. The US and Afghan intelligence wanted independent access to him for interrogation. The ISI refused and told them he could be questioned in the ISI's custody. The US insisted on independent access and warned Pakistan of the likely consequences if it did not agree to it. This week's reports say that Pakistan has been forced to allow independent access to the Americans. That is the way a self-respecting nation protects its interests and nationals. For the US, independent interrogation of Baradar was necessary to hold those responsible for American deaths in the past accountable and to prevent more deaths in future. It insisted on it and had its way. India is not the US. The clout which it has over Pakistan we do not have anywhere in the world. At least we could have had the courage to protest -- loudly and openly -- instead of projecting every stab in the back by Obama as a kiss in the back.

[Goanet] Don’t block the ‘Internet Hind us’ by Kanchan Gupta
http://www.dailypioneer.com/241956/Don%E2%80%99t-block-the-%E2%80%98Internet-Hindus%E2%80%99.html Contrary to the impression that is being sought to be created by their critics, ‘Internet Hindus’ are open to ideas, believe in a plural, law-abiding society and swear by the Constitution. They are often appalled by the shenanigans of our politicians, including those of the BJP, and are ruthless in decrying politics of identity and cynical vote-bank policies. They have no gender prejudices and most of them think banning FTV is downright silly in this day and age. The ‘Internet Hindus’ will not countenance denigration of their faith or biased media coverage of events, but 91.9 per cent of them respect and accept other religions. Asked if India is meant only for Hindus, an overwhelming majority of them, responding to the survey, said, ‘Hell, no!’ So why do they infuriate pseudo-secularists in media and make Delhi’s commentariat see red? There are three possible explanations. First, the Net is beyond the control of those who control newspapers and news channels. While the print and audiovisual media have for long excluded contrarian opinion and denied space to those who disagree with absurd notions of ‘secularism’ or question the quality of reportage, the Net has provided space to the ‘other’ voice. Real time blog posts now record the ‘other side’ of the day’s story (“The Prince was shouted down in Bihar, not feted by students!”), Twitter affords instant micro-blogging even as prime time news is being telecast (“That’s not true. I live in Bareilly. This is not how the riots began!”), and YouTube allows unedited amateur videos of events (the Meraj riots, the Islamist violence in Kashmir Valley) to be uploaded, giving the lie to edited and doctored versions shown by news channels.

[Goanet] 100 Job Opportunities in two years in Goa
Chess : A learning tool 100 Job Opportunities in two years. “I have won”; a child, holding his opponent’s King in hand, gleefully yelled in excitement. “You cannot capture the King but you must Checkmate him, i.e. trap him under attack without an escape route” I had to explain to him. There are several tricky positions in Chess. ‘Stalemate’ is one such position. A child may have good strength on board but is still unable to trap the opponent’s King into Checkmate and the opponent’s King if left with no further legal move. The game thus ends in a draw. The fascinating part is that children at a young age learn chess very easily. A Child can learn to imbibe democratic values in a modern society through Chess. Chess is a learning tool, an Indian Game which helps one to develop ‘Reasoning’, ‘Decision making’ and many other abilities. In a simple ‘Pawn Game’ a child can learn simple tricks like for instance the ‘Order’ in which he should move the pawns. He can also decide whether he must block the pawn or can capture it. Chess is an exercise of infinite possibilities for the mind, one which develops mental abilities used throughout life, the goals of attack and defense, culminating in checkmate, inspire us to dig deep into our mental reserves. Studies have shown that children who participate in Chess are more likely to succeed as adults. As the child develops his game, he learns that giving a piece to the opponent now (i.e. sacrifice) may help him after few moves. Chess games are played with the use of timer, i.e. Chess Clocks. The child thus begins to learn ‘Time Management’ skills. A 10 year old good chess player knows how many moves he can make within the final 2/3 minutes of the game. Chess is a good tonic for brain. Application of the mind; that is what Chess is! All students should play at least a few games of Chess every week. Children who are weak in studies must be encouraged to take up Chess. If these children play chess, it will be good for them as well as for the society. Children must get the opportunity to play Chess Tournaments at least once in a month. • Do we have the infrastructure in place for children to play chess? • Is there Motivation to play chess? Chess as Sport • At the Government level Directorate of Sports organizes team championships for Inter Secondary School, Higher Secondarily level chess tournament every year. • There are 450 Middle and Secondary Schools in Goa. Out of these only 30 Schools participate in Inter Secondary School chess tournaments. Primary School. • Chess talent can be identified at the age of 6/7/8. • This spotted talent by the time he is out of Primary School (4th Std) is a recognized good chess player. There is no system in Goa at Government level to identify chess talent at Primary School level. Our wonder girls Ivana Furtado and Bhakti Kulkarni have motivated many children to play chess. These two girls have won more National and International medals in 2009 for Goa then all other sportsperson from other individual sports put together. I can see many sparks all over Goa. But owing to the lack of proper training and opportunity, these talents goes in vain. Chess Training Educate child about the basics, i.e. Chess Board, Chess pieces and how these pieces move. Any Primary School Teacher can do this. Kindergarten administrators can introduce chess for Upper KG. Playing Pawn Chess Games at this level will be an interesting quiz. College students can use their few spare hours in a week to train children and thus earn some pocket money. Regular Chess Tournaments for Children Chess tournaments are played in Swiss League System. It is not a knockout system. In this system every one who has participated in the event gets an opportunity to play all the rounds. First Paring is finalized as per alphabetical order of participant names. All games start together. In the next round onwards, winning players are pitted against each other and players who have lost are drawn to play one another. The System is such that players with equal strength get to play with each other in the last few rounds. Usually every one wins at least one game. For Chess tournament featuring 25 children, 5 rounds can be completed in 2/3 hours.

[Goanet] Class Distinctions By Bevinda Collaco · o n 15 February 2010
--- *** Follow Goanet on Twitter *** http://twitter.com/goanet --- http://www.facebook.com/knowprose?v=feed&story_fbid=309867348425#!/note.php?note_id=311321141569 There’s a Mr Moneybags with dubious sources of income who is one of the most pious people I have ever met. His wrist is covered with sacred red threads which never seem to fade, or maybe he gets his threads renewed with every new visit to a temple. There is also a Mrs Pauper who wears ragged dirty dresses three sizes too large for her slight frame, who is most devout. She spends most of her time praying before roadside crosses and in churches. I know both of them rather well and the similarity of thought, word and deed is startling. When Mr Moneybags speaks to me, he speaks of good things. He talks of all the good deeds he has done. He had helped get his neighbour’s daughter a job in the police force. He had given money to a boy who broke his leg in three places to tide him over until he could work again. He had just finished one pilgrimage and was planning to go on another as soon as he finished some pending work. When his employees talk to me, they only speak bad things about Mr Moneybags. He is tight-fisted, mean minded, mean spirited and had a gang of goons on his payroll who could do anything from stoning your house to attacking you with swords and sticks. He ate like a pig and drank like a fish, got into a drunken rage and had a thing for very young women. Mrs Pauper generally wept when she spoke to me. If she was not weeping, she was sighing. She too would speak of good things like how she was struggling to give her family a good life through honest means. That she did not have money but she had God on her side. When her neighbours speak about her, they talk about how she has a filthy tongue in her head, how she abuses them regularly, poisons their domestic animals and birds, how she throws filth in front of their homes. They spoke of how she didn’t have money to feed her family, but she had enough to drink herself into a violent rage every day. And it struck me that both the very rich and the very poor have so much in common. Both rich and poor get a huge amount of freebies. Both belong to privileged sections of society. Mr Moneybags is wooed by the powerful with an eye to his wealth. Mrs Pauper is wooed by the powerful with an eye to her vote. A simple enough concept since using wealth to buy votes leads to more power to the powerful. Mr Moneybags is not in politics; he owns politicians; he dictates policy. Mrs Pauper just has to ask her MLA to allow her to build an extra couple of rooms on a precarious slope. He makes the necessary calls and even builds a retaining wall so that her house and those of her neighbours don’t slide down the hill. The very rich and very poor can break the laws with impunity. They don’t even bother to laugh at CRZ rules; they just build their homes, sprawling or simple and get on with life as they know it secure in the knowledge that no one can touch them. They are dangerous enemies since both resort to extra-judicial activities to sort out issues they may have with others. They think nothing of publicly harassing, abusing or killing an enemy. Their moral standards (or lack thereof) are similar. Crimes of passion, murders of paramours and spouses are common with both classes. And yet they are so devout. Laws, morals, ethics and moderation fall to the lot of the middle class. They cannot afford to break the law because they have too much built up through hard work, to lose. As piety is the armour of the rich and poor, respectability is the armour of the middle-class. The middle class moves in a never ending bourgeois dance between the two other classes. Moving forward always trying to catch up with the very rich. Always looking over their shoulder at the poor, terrified that they will slip backwards into poverty if they don’t work hard enough. Seems like such a waste of time. Shrikant Vinayak Barve Your Mail works best with the New Yahoo Optimized IE8. Get it NOW! http://downloads.yahoo.com/in/internetexplorer/

[Goanet] True face of Goa's Chess
This is my welcome speech infront of prominent Goan people. FREEDOM FROM TRAP , 12/02/2010 Hari Om, I am very happy to welcome you all here on behalf of The International Centre Goa and Chess Activity Centre for this Prize distribution function. I am hounored specially to welcome Former Law Secretary of Goa Mrs. Anuja Prabhdesai as our Chief Guest of this function and request Noted Environmentalist, Historian and Social Worker and Shri Rajendra Kerkar to priside over the function. I request Mrs.Nandini Sahai Director The Internatioanal Centre Goa. will escort the guest to the dais. Chess Activity Centre started functioning from last year. We organised “Chess for Everyone” activity every Friday evening from 4 to 7. It includes demonstration, learning, playing and watching films related to chess. Today in “Chess for Everyone” started with some demonstration on chess board to all of us. Children participated in this event. Our young coach Shravan Barve has explained few ways and tricks to free trapped pieces on chess board. There after Lightning Chess Tournament for above 25 years was held. Chess is an Indiangame but we ‘Chess Activity Centre’ look it as learning tool. It teaches reasoning and develops decisions making abilities. Just like every Goan should know to read and write, our dream is every goan should know chess. You all must be aware that since 2006 Goan children started winning medals in chess at National and International level in various age group categories. Thanks to Shri Sameer Salgaokar and Dempos, Moginis and Dr. Peter Carvalho lot of hardwork by parents and individual chess coaches. Compered to other sports Goan children have done exceptionally well only in chess. In 2009-10 Total number of National or International Medals won by Goan children in all Sports are 28. Out of these 50%, that is 14 medals are won in Chess. Still Goahas long way to go. There are about 100 International Masters (Rating 2300+) and 17 Grand Masters (Rating 2500+) in India. It will take many more years for a Goan to be an International Masters. We can see bright sparks in chess where ever we go in Goa. However no proper grooming and lack of opportunities keep this bright sparks away from Chess. Lack of vision, planning and implementation abilities among authorities controlling chess in Goa. And because of this Parents of this bright spark has to suffer a lot. Few kids who won chess campionship in open category has stayed away from chess. Its very sad story. Promotion of chess has to be done in two ways. 1. Chess activities should be spread all over Goa, in every Primary School; it should be part of School curriculum. Chess tournaments should be held at every nook and corner. 2. Grooming of Bright talent. With your generous support, our plan for future is as follows; 1. To Scolorship of Rs. 1000/- per month for a year for bright talent in chess (around 10) by this year end. 2. To Organise chess coaching for beginners (We do this regularly.) 3. To Organise IM/GM level chess coaching. First of these will be in coming April for 10 days. 4. To Organise short group (selected few) higher level chess tournament. 5. Chess tournament for different categories. 6.

[Goanet] GRAVE INJUSTICE TO A DISTINGUISHED JUDGE
Its very sad news to read that a honest upright officer implicated in a false case. We require honest people like Anjuja Prabhudesai in Goa's Administration. She had come few times to our program. I will Invite her as chief guest again at next immediate occasion. Shrikant Barve The sudden suspension of Goa's senior Judge Mrs. Anuja Prabhudesai is deplorable. The justice delivery system has failed a very senior, knowledgeable and distinguished judge. Mrs. Prabhudesai is known to be a very talented, well mannered, soft-spoken yet very firm in the dispensation of justice. Even when posted as Law Secretary of the State she refused to bow to the illegal and unjustified designs of the politicians. As she was the senior most District judge of Goa , her suspension could be a very systematic ploy to sideline and abort her hopes of elevation as judge of the Bombay High Court. If this is proven, the conspirators of this plan, of framing fake charges against her should not be spared. If the injustice meted out to Mrs. Anuja Prabhudesai is not rectified, the credibility of the judiciary which is the third and vital pillar of our constitution is at stake. We need to stand in solidarity with this very distinguished judge while she braves this attack on her.

[Goanet] Marathi and Kokani typing workshop
Thank you Tony for providing very useful information. I have also used few Devnagari softwares. Real problem with all the software are 1. They come with executable files and a program to be run to install them 2. They use more key's 3. They don't run on all computers. The GANGAL1.ttf file is to saved in windows/font directory It runs on all computer Its given free by creator...'Shodh Marathi' alias Shubhanan Gangal It uses 47 keys (plus shift) + 47 = 94 keys This font is in UNICODE. Infact we (Shodh Marathi) feel that 1. There are few characters which complicates understanding devnagari should be deleted from script. 2. Marathi and Kokani are independent languages and Sanskrit grammar or characters which hampers progress of these languages should be kept away.(Major element Raswa and Dirgha) For these very reason we call it as Marathi/Kokani font and not Devnagari font. There are Many advantages most important is INDEXING. Its not only font but also pronunciation which we know. But there is somethink more which only Shubhanan Gangal explains better. Using these characteristics of gangal1 font... We want to take computer to 'JANIV-JANAK' level. Message: 1 Date: Wed, 3 Feb 2010 21:25:40 +0530 From: Tony de Sa To: "Goa's Premiere Mailing List, Estd 1994" Subject: Re: [Goanet] Marathi and Kokani typing workshop Message-ID: <5dd184c61002030755r66d1fa79ge99049a85790c...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi Venantius, It is rather astounding that the Official Language Department of the Government of Goa is not promoting the use of Devnagri software for writing Konkani in the officially accepted script Devnagri.The business of Devnagri software has been interesting me for long because in school, my teachers used to hand write the stencils for the examination paper. There were concerns of legibility, waste of stationery etc. So I purchased Devnagri software for my school. I am happy to say that with this, the question papers were more clear and there was a minimum waste of stationery and fewer requests from students for help in reading the question papers. The side effect was that the language teachers (Hindi, Marathi and Konkani) all learnt to computer type their papers. This induced others to learn to use the computer and that in turn led to them using the computer for generating mark sheets, attendance sheets and all kinds of work finally culminating in Power Point presentations. Though it sounds impressive to be able to type Devnagri, most of the software packages available have an Anglicized keyboard. One merely types phonetically. For instance, with the 'Hindi Pad' software, (available for around Rs. 355/- couriered home to you) to type 'BHARAT' in Devnagri, one has only to type b, h, a, a, r, a, a, t, a. The extra a in each case is because the letters appear as half letters - this is a peculiarity of this particular software. after a while one gets used to it. There is also other software available. I suggested this particular one because it is inexpensive. Linux has in built language support as also Microsoft Windows.

[Goanet] CHESS IN MESS ? Courtesy AICF
Around 25 years ago Kapil Dev raised some question? He was prominent players of Harayana and India. I seriously feel that there is serious problem with our Sports organization setup. Most of our Sports organization, at least in Goa are legally defunct. The same case, may be in India. For chess I am 100% sure. And I am going against them, When I will succeed I don't know. Because these sports organisation are defunct they can not raise money, they can not raise money. And the present setup helps them to retain the power. With this power they can easily shut the voice raised against them. Shrikant Vinayak Barve The INTERNET now has a personality. YOURS! See your Yahoo! Homepage. http://in.yahoo.com/
[Goanet] CHESS IN MESS – Courtesy AICF
CHESS IN MESS – Courtesy AICF Writer is editor of Chess IndiaMagazine darsha...@gmail.com When the guardians of the games starts damaging it, what will be the future of the game – is a matter to worry and not to sympathize alone. We are talking about A.CI.F. – the Federation whose Delhi Unit (DCA) Secretary Bharat Singh did not permit 400 players to participate in the Parsvnath Chess Tournament– which is a breach of Fundamental Right of the players, for which AICF & DCA officials are not only responsible, but also punishable under the law of the country. Also they are financially liable to these players and there is no justification for the Govt.grant also for this tournament, for which entry fee was as high as Rs. 7800 The only fault of these players was that they participated in the biggest ever prize money tournament of India with the lowest entry fee of Rs. 1000 , organized by Chess Association of India, who have not taken any permission from the AICF. Even otherwise, as per Constitution of India, to organize such prize money tournament is neither crime nor essential to take the permission of AICF, to whom, CAI would have to spare Rs. 3 lakhs for getting the permission. Bharat Singh used all his available tools to harass the organisers, sponsors, coaches, parents, workers and reputed players of Delhinot to participate to avoid ban and suspension. Still the inevitable tournament happened with 400 participants and players received prizes more than Rs. 15 lakhs. Surprisingly, DCA is holding Parsvnath tournaments for the last 7 years, but still one has to see or know its President (or it is on the paper alone). Bharat Singh is also the Treasurer of AICF. If we talk about other officials of AICF, its President, Mr. Srinivasan is holding two posts in contravention of National Sports Policy and Sports Ministry Guidelines. Its General Secretary DV Sunder and Commonwealth Secretary Dongre are on bail today. To harass the players has become a routine matter for AICF, then, it may be GM Gopal or World No. 2 Humpy Konery. If you talk of Rules with AICF, surprisingly as on date, its Constitution and Rules are not approved and pending with the Registrar of Societies, Chennai, and a gazette notification was issued earlier for withdrawal from the Role of SocietiesNo. 4993/EI/2005 dated 7.12.2005. Even the CIC decision dated 20.3.2009 to bring AICF under the RTI was not implemented by AIC upto the deadline of 20thApril, 2009 Surprizingly, the Sports Ministry, who is aware of all these facts, is releasing Grants year-after-year, without checking out the eligibility conditions of the applicant.

He has published his Book "Perception, Sound, Prose and Poetry" in 2005 The following new concepts have been covered in this book: 1. Study of Sound through the human perception. 2. Definition of 'a Sound' 3. Theory of NS and BS. 4. Theory of 'six Convictions of a Sound' 5. Definition of 'Coherent Speech' 6. Discussion of 'Acquired-Knowledge', Gained-Understanding', 'Human Perception', 'Present Tense', 'Three-dimentions and Perception', Time Unit Theme', 'Consonants', 'Vowels', 'Extention of Understanding'. 7.

Think Think Think Does hereditary knowledge, Sixth Sense, and other knowledge(if any) acquired without the help of the Perception -Tool, help us for '4D' requirements of Understanding? Can it be stored as memory? If any such think exists, does that change with time and hence with our new Understanding? This is from the Book Perception, Sound, Prose and Poetry. by Shubhanan Gangal published in 2005 Shubhanan Gangal 19/20, Ideal Aprtment, Gulmohar Road, Juhu, Mumbai 400049 Shubhanan Gangal was in Goa for few days. his company has given some think new that can not be explained in words. I only know that future Noble Prize winner has accepted me as a friends. We know very little about ourselves. The penetration ability to know about ourselves ends at a boundary of how to get along with the LIFE and not about the Life itself. What will happend if the Perception-Tool starts detecting all activities inside our body? Is it the only(!) difference between the idea of ‘God’ and ‘Human being’? If we cross the detection limits of our Sense organs either we get Pain or ‘no more detection takes place without pain’. Pain is actuated to support our life. The detection method/system, which does not give us pain, has no ability to damage life. Is it provided only to give more meaning to ‘BEING HUMAN’ ? Which of the two gives us a better approach towards extention of understanding? Which system provides more meaning of ‘BEING HUMAN’ than ‘living life like any other animal’ ? Out of prose, poetry, and music which one supports in a better Sense ‘BEING HUMAN’? Shrikant Vinayak Barve The INTERNET now has a personality. YOURS! See your Yahoo! Homepage. http://in..yahoo.com/

Sound in Physics and Nature By Mr. Shubhanan Gangal We learn about Sound in Physics. We also know that human languages are derived from Sound. We never teach 'Sound' in physics and 'Sound' in languages together as a part of one system. Why Not? Can we make that happen? Yes, Marathi Language Can! What we are going to do today is to solve few questions, together with discussion! (1) What are the Atoms of a Sound? (2) What are the Molecules of a sound'? (3) How do we communicate within 'Feelings, Thoughts, Memory and Experience'? (4) What are the properties of Sound? (5) How do we co-relate 'Light, Sound, Touch, Taste, & Smell'? (6) Why do we feel 'Prose, Poetry and Music' are different?

[Goanet] Level of literacy in colonial Goa
--- http://www.GOANET.org --- Happy New Year Twenty-Ten --- Dear Antonio, Thank you for that information. It should be important for those of us(like me) who were not around the Mandovi, Sal or Tiracol during those days. So that one may reasonably evaluate the true value of your information in comparative terms, would you now please advise us what educational facilities were available in the regions just south and north of Goa i.e. in the areas called Sadashivghad, Karwar, Sawantwadi, Kudal and Ratnagiri and the level of literacy in those areas during the same period of time? BTW: How did you work out the rates of literacy, semi-literacy and literacy among the peoples of Goa? Have you or anyone else published a verifiable study somewhere? I'd like to (just for personal reasons) test the study design, methods of evaluation and results of that study. Happy New Year jc Friends, Last few years Govt. had announced some Donations/grants for educational Institutions completing 75 years and 100 years. One of the prominent name include Mustifund Saustha from Panaji. Marathi was medium of instruction in Mustifund Saustha . In the year 1960 (after 50 years of its existence) 200+ students passed 4th grade from Mustifund. Those who opted for higher studies in Portuguese after 4th grade had to enroll for 3rd grade. Most of my relatives opted to leave Goa and went to Sangli and other parts of Maharashtra for higher studies. It was a Madhukari pattern where in stdent beg for food, or having food at different people people on particular day of the week. All those were considered illiterate before liberation.

[Goanet] Kidnap & Marry Underage Girls of Any Religion is OK for Muslims ... Rule our Courts
Youth gets bail in elopement case TNN 17 December 2009, http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata-/Youth-gets-bail-in-elopement-caseKolkata/articleshow/5345745.cms KOLKATA: Calcutta High Court on Wednesday granted the anticipatory bail plea of a 26-year-old youth from Murshidabad who had been accused of kidnapping and marrying a 15-year-old girl. Sairul Sheikh, a resident of Bakultala in Behrampore, had been accused of kidnapping and forcibly marrying Anita Roy. A division bench of Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghosh and Justice S P Talukdar allowed Sheikh's plea after his lawyers Joymalya Bagchi and Rajib Lochan Chakraborty submitted that the marriage was legal under Muslim Personal Law. Holding the marriage legal, the court granted Sheikh's anticipatory bail application. Anita's mother Jyotsna had lodged a complaint with Behrampore PS that her daughter had been missing since October 14. On October 15, she came to know that Sairul Sheikh had "kidnapped and married" her minor daughter. . Kidnapping and marrying a girl below 18, is a crime, which is to be charged under "Kidnapping and Rape" because marriage with an underage girl is supposed to be not legal ... However a Muslim Youth has claimed he's done it under Muslim Personal Law ... So the Judges have indirectly ruled "For Muslims it is allowed, Muslims can KIDNAP & MARRY Girls under 18 (Muslim or Hindu)". These are the kind of Rulings which arouse community's feeling of hatred, towards each other. Now had it been a Hindu Boy who had kidnapped an underage girl (Muslim or Hindu) he would not have got Anticipatory Bail under any circumstances. Visit http://www.RoguePolice.com My comments May be case was not registered as kidnapping. it is up to Investigating officer. Anita might have changed her religion. Can a minor change her religion? So the case before the judge is not Hindu minor girl kidnapped by Muslim, but Muslim (may be minor) marrying a Muslim. Its a Judges privilege to look in to deep (or ignore) in the matter.

[Goanet] Talibanisation of Colva
The attack on the house and other property of a person from Colva accused of
producing a controversial CD is to be condemned. Such means resorted to by so
called followers of Jesus Christ, that too during Christmas, and supposedly
provoked by lay church leaders is all the more deplorable. Are we any beter
than the Bajrang Dal, Ram Sena, Taliban and all such fanatical fringe elements
that suppress freedom of expression through terror. The hurt sentiments are
understandable but will violence acheive any solution? In fact, the attack on
the producer generates more publicity, curiosity and sympathy among the people
which would only boost the sales of the CD. Instead of denying his involvement
in inciting the parishioners as reported in a section of the press, the Parish
Priest should have outrightly condmened such use of violence as it is against
christian teachings.
It is unfortunate that people of Goa have got enough time and energy to quarrel
on issues of religion but hardly anyone reacts over abuses against the human
person, especially woman and children, and the mass scale rape and plunder of
Goa's natural resources.
Will Goans invest their capacities and energies for more productive purposes
in the New Year 2010 in order to establish the kingdom of Justice and Peace in
the world which the message of Christmas is all about?
-Soter D'Souza
Hat's off to you Soter.
Please also note that
Police informed that there was some stone throwing and damage to Mr Gonsalves’
residence and a journalist was also roughed up.
The police have registered a case under Sections 153, 153A, 295A and 298 read
with Section 34 of of the Indian Penal Code has been registered against Mr
Culvert Gonsalves. Also the police have registered a case against the mob under
Sections 147, 148, 427 read with 149 of the Indian Penal Code based on the
complaint filed by the panch’s mother.
Reports also say that the journalist assaulted by the mob has also filed a case
on Tuesday.

a crime?
{Earlier, on Monday, the villagers had gathered in large numbers at the Colva

against panch, Mr Culvert Gonsalves, Mr Ozzy Viegas and the entire production
team of audio CD ‘Dogui Bodmas’ for potraying a religious person in a bad
light. }

[Goanet] Goanetters Meet
Carvalho elisabeth_car at yahoo.com Mon Dec 28 09:43:06 PST 2009 Dear Tony, You know I am extremely fond of you but I want to make two things absolutely clear. 1) As a fellow Goanetter, I'm not interested in what upsets Cecil Pinto as just about anything can upset the man. 2) I will never attend anything either organised or headed by him. As an active Goanetter, I strongly request that we keep Goanet as uncorrupted as possible. Mario observes: 1. Active Goanetter? With ONE measley post in December - THIS ONE?! What the bleep is THAT? 2. Are you threatening to really attend this soiree next year or are you just blowing smoke? 3. I have no idea what is bugging you two but this love-hate relationship has to stop. You and Cecil need to air-kiss and make up. Collaborate on a funny essay, why don't you? Or write a book together. Send some flowers through Cecil to Tony whom you are so fond of. 4. As the lone voice of reason, truth and peace on Goanet, you need to convert all this negative energy into some positive energy. Don't you know the Himalayan icecaps are melting already? Don't make me bring my baseball bat and sort this out:-)) 5. Are there no peacemakers in Goa? Vivian? Tony? Ana Maria? Mariobab, You miss one more important factor which is playing its role silently. "TIME" . Another 12 months is long way considering last one month. It was a good meet yesterday at FOODLAND.

[Goanet] Inflation in EIP (Estado India Portuguesa)
Purchasing power parity is more important at any given point of time . Date: Sun, 13 Dec 2009 15:15:58 +0530 From: Frederick Noronha To: "Goa's premiere mailing list, estb. 1994!" Subject: [Goanet] Inflation in EIP (Estado India Portuguesa) http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2009-December/187084.html Instead of official exchange of currencies, what FN should find and display is the purchase value (specially in terms of essential goods) of the currencies at the same time period in Goa and the neighbouring Indian territory! That is what could provide the real value of any currency. Shrikant Vinayak Barve The INTERNET now has a personality. YOURS! See your Yahoo! Homepage. http://in.yahoo.com/
[Goanet] Trust
Photos from Goa's 2009 mando festival: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/sets/72157622843319441/ Event on Wed, Thurs evening from 5 pm onwards, Kala Academy, Panaji-Goa Trust My mother has a habit to throw/spared one part of our morning breakfast for crow. Most of the time its chapatti. She stands at particular place and throws the food and crow waiting around the area picks them up with in few seconds. It was chapatti today and I said to mother that I will take over this grace for birds for today. I carefully made small pieces of chapatti. I could see crows around the building, on Mango, Neem and other trees. I tossed the pieces around and waited. Not a single crow comes down to pick the food. I went inside and called mother. She came out and tossed few more chapatti pieces and whole bunch of crows were around my mother to pick the food. One should not only a good person; he should also present himself as a good caring person. We want people in our politics that are ready to face people, ever ready to meet people, One who boldly tackles the defamation that may stick, and in addition he should have a good character and present himself as a good caring person. We people should build a mechanism in a locality wherein locality identifies few good people who may represent them and political parties identify their candidates from these identified persons.
