Hi Herman:

Hope you are well.  I am trying to find out if there is a Goan association in 
Queens, NY through your Goanet organization.

I am involved in helping to organize the Potta Retreat in Boston and 
have been getting calls from New York.  A young Goan lady called today 
to register for the retreat and asked if there are any Goan groups she 
can connect with in NY.  Could you let me know what resources are 
available to find this out?

Thanks so much for your help,

Fiona

Dear Goanetters,

It gives me great pleasure to announce that Goanet is starting a women's 
support group. As you can imagine it's going to be hard to establish a network 
to support women from scratch. But, we're dedicated to trying our best to 
succeed.

We have a new volunteer who will oversee these projects. Please join me in 
welcoming Meera Noronha to the fold. Meera lives in Kanpur, Uttarpradesh. She 
works with special children in the Spastics Centre.  She is also involved in
different local social organizations.You can reach Meera at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To start, we thought that we'd build up a database of organizations which help 
abused women. The database will include organizations worldwide so that abused 
women anywhere can find resources for help closeby.

We'd like to request that all those already involved in women's groups to 
please respond with details of your organisation. Please let us know where you 
are located and what you do to empower women. We'd also like to invite others 
to volunteer on this project, especially counsellors. In time, perhaps we 
could 
provide some counselling services, anonymous or otherwise, or merely be a 
point 
of contact to point women in right direction to get help.

Furthermore, if the women on this forum are interested, we'll provide 
you with a women's only mailing list. This forum would encourage women to 
discuss issues and help support the women empowerment projects that we 
undertake.

If you have any ideas on how we can go about setting up projects to help women 
and empower them, please send us your suggestions. Better still, we'd like to 
encourage you to volunteer to help us establish some worthwhile services. For 
those involved in any women's groups locally, please respond giving reference 
to your organization and work place.

Please join us in supporting our women and our community.

Best wishes,

Dear Goanetters,

We are proud to introduce a new mailing list as part of the Goanet family -  
Goanet-careers!

Goanet-careers intends to be a platform where Goans can reach out to assist 
other Goans by way of career guidance, counselling, job searches, posting 
jobs, job placement assistance, immigration, accommodation, settling anew... 
and more.

As we all know, many Goans have left India and have become entrenched 
successfully in the new countries they embraced. Other Goans have emigrated 
out of Goa to other parts of India and have excelled. And, many Goans have 
excelled in Goa itself. As such, many of us are in a position to offer someone 
a job, to advertise openings in our companies/institutions, or to provide some 
sort of career guidance in a field that is familiar to us. Our Goan community 
needs a network to link those in the know with fellow Goans in need of such 
information. Goanet-careers aims to be such a network.

Though this seems to be a challenging venture, it is an attainable one. As in 
other community projects, the success of Goanet-careers will be achieved 
only by active participation of the Diasporic Goan community and Goans in Goa. 
We, therefore, encourage you to assist Goans worldwide by playing an active 
role in the Goanet-careers network.

Please send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to subscribe to this mailing 
list or subscribe at:

I returned from Goa on Sept. 11th, after celebrating Dad's 100th birthday, on 
Sept. 9th.

We attended a Thanksgiving Mass at 9 a.m. After which Dad thanked his friends 
who were not able to join us at the reception later that evening. 

The reception was held at Emerald Lawns. Dad typed his speech  my son, Conrad 
had it re-typed in big block letters to make it easier for him to read. Dad 
did very well in delivering it.

I thank you on behalf on my sisters, brothers  all our children.

- Subject: Gorgonio Lobo  - 100th Birthday September 9, 2005 -


My parents, Angelo  Libania worked in Entebbe, Uganda, where I was born in 
1905. I was the eldest of their 4 sons. 

Although my parents  3 brothers have gone to their eternal reward they have 
left me with many happy memories and blessings.
 
In 1915 my parents returned to Goa. I joined St Joseph's High School Arpora in 
1915  achieved my Matriculation in 1923.  

My first job in 1929 was as Clerk, with the Ministry of Health. I was 
appointed to Hospitals in Jinja, Soroti, Masindi, Entebbe, Masaka  Kampala, 
rising to the rank of  Medical Superintendent. 

In 1963, I retired after 34 years service with the Govt. After which I joined 
the Kampala City Council as a Graduated Tax Officer, until 1971.
 
In 1936 I married Priscilla De Souza from Calangute. Together we had 5 
children. As parents we fostered in our children a love for our Faith, the 
importance of education, enjoyment of music  a sense of community

The upheaval following the seizure of power by Idi Amin caused the dispersal 
of my family - Arthur  Judy to Perth Australia, Sybil  Alfred to Canada. 
Bertha had married and joined her husband in Switzerland.

The opportunity to go to England or Australia were forgone as the pull of my 
ancestrial home water from my own well was strongest. My wife  I returned 
to Goa. Later we spent 2-1/2 in Perth with our family  many ex-Ugandan 
friends.

After my return to Goa, I was able to contribute to the community teaching 
violin  the organ  supporting the Parish of St Anne. 

My contributions in Uganda: President  Founding Member of the Parent Teacher 
Association in Entebbe  Kampala. Member of the Advisory Board of Asian 
Education, Kampala; Member of the Central Goan Council  President of the Goan 
Institute, Entebbe. Member of the Asian Widows  Orphans Pension Fund, 
Kampala. Member of the Uganda Defence Force (2 yrs.) in 1941.

Many have asked the secret of my longevity. It is ultimately the Blessing of 
God. However the constant use of mind  body kept me going, i.e. teaching 
music, keeping up to date with current affairs, managing my own finances. 
Maintaining a large home demanded a daily routine of activity. 

Until 2003 I rode my scooter  drove my car to Mapusa  the church  in doing 
so, maintained an independent lifestyle.

The regular visits from friends  their children has renewed the bonds of 
great friendship we created  fostered in Uganda.

Sadly my wife of 67 years passed away on November 22, 2003.

I look forward to be a Centenarian as I target my 100th Birthday  would like 
to request all my dear friends to participate spiritually in my Thanks-
giving Prayers to Almighty God for granting me a long lease of life.

I am happy to be celebrating my Birthday on September 9, 2005 in the company 
of my children and grandchildren from Geneva, Switzerland, Perth, Western 
Australia  Montreal/Toronto, Canada  friends. 
 


May God Bless you all.

Dear Goanetters,

Goanet celebrates its 11th anniversary today -- August 25, 2005.  On behalf of 
the Goanet Admin team, I'd like to thank all our members for making this 
possible.

Goanet had a humble beginning in 1994 with only 20 members.  Today, Goanet is 
*the* public forum of choice for Goans worldwide for addressing important 
issues.  I'd like to thank you, our members, for your role in making this 
possible.  You've posted interesting articles and shared your opinions making 
Goanet an interesting and vibrant forum.  Indeed, Goanet has a great wealth of 
information in its archives. We hope that you will continue to do the same in 
the future.

Special thanks go to all our volunteers for their role in Goanet's success:

Frederick Noronha (Goa, India)
Viviana Coelho (San Francisco, CA, USA)
Bosco D'Mello (Toronto, Canada)
Daisy Rodrigues (CA, USA)
Michelle D'Souza (Boston, MA, USA)
Christina Pinto (Australia)
Vincente Fernandes (Goa, India)

We are very lucky to have such a dedicated group of people volunteering with 
us.  Having worked personally with each of these volunteers I can tell you that 
they spend countless hours of working on Goanet.  They do not look for 
recognition or thanks of any sort.  They just continue to work diligently day 
in and day out.  In my eyes, they are nothing short of heroes in our community.

What does the future hold for Goanet?

As you know, the Goanet mailing lists have been the mainstay of Goanet.  We 
will continue to expand this network to reach Goans wherever they may be.  We 
will also continue to work towards improving the quality of the forum.

Last year saw the Goanet take a huge step forward with the launch of 
http://www.goanet.org/.  This year, we plan to develop the website further.  We 
plan to improve our news service, introduce innovative ways to share 
information and to launch community building projects in Goa.

I hope to see more of you volunteer with Goanet. You don't have to be computer 
savvy.  You just have to be willing to devote a little time to your community.  
Together we can provide a valuable public service to our community.

Congratulations to Goanet on its 11th anniversary!

Goanet offers a unique venue for communication on varied issues. In a 
continuing effort to ensure that this forum remains respectful, we have 
established the following Rules and Guidelines.

Please note that membership to this discussion group is provided FREE of 
charge. In the event any person soliciting a financial contribution for 
membership to the List approaches you, please report the incident to the 
List's administration at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RULES

* Do not use foul or abusive language.

* Do not engage in personal attacks. In other words, no name-calling.

* Spam is not tolerated on this list. Goanet treats repeated postings, 
commercial posts, lengthy reposts of an earlier posting, among others, as 
spam. If you're quoting an earlier post, quote the minimum.

* Do not send attachments or images with your message; text files should not 
be sent as an attachment, rather, copy the text into your message.

* Use your real name as the Sender, not an alias.

* Use a meaningful Subject Line.

* Do not post messages in HTML or MIME formats, i.e. no bold, italics, colored 
text, etc. Rather, format your emails in plain text only.

* If you are copying a post from a website, post a brief description of what 
you would like to communicate and include the URL address.

* Do not post advertisements. Commercial postings have to be paid for if 
circulated via Goanet. The Goanet Admin’s decisions on all matters are final.

* Once a particular discussion is declared closed by the Goanet Admin Team, 
anyone continuing that discussion is likely to face action. Every effort will 
be made to keep discussions democratic, free and open, but when a topic goes 
on endlessly in circles or threatens to transgress decent debate, or for any 
similar reasons, the Admin Team will be empowered to declare that 
discussion closed.


A violation of any of the rules will result in a reprimand. Subsequent 
violations could result in suspended or terminated membership. The decision to 
suspend or terminate membership will be a function of the severity and 
frequency of the breaches.


GUIDELINES

* Post material which is relevant to Goan communities worldwide.

* Keep your message brief.

* Do not forward private email to the list without permission from the author.

list to receive your message, or would you rather limit the audience?

joining.

* If you have problems with the volume of mail, shift to the Goanet-Digest.

[Goanet]Goanet launches new website

2005-05-01 Thread Herman Carneiro
Dear Friends of Goanet,

With the Goan community's active participation on Goanet driving the dialogue 
amongst Goans in Goa and the Diaspora, it gives me great pleasure to announce 
that Goanet has a new and improved website at www.goanet.org.

At the outset, our main objective was to provide our members with a user 
friendly interface to access the mailing list archives.  As the project 
developed it took on a life of its own.  The website now provides some novel 
features.

WEBSITE FEATURES

1.  News

You can now access the latest news from Goanet on our website.

2.  Goanet Reader

This features interesting essays submitted by a variety of authors.

3.  Mailing lists

This section features a user friendly way to subscribe to the Goanet mailing 
lists.  You can also change your membership preferences here. Also included in 
this section is access to the popular Goanet archives dating back to 1999.

4.  Tutorials

For those of us who have trouble posting to Goanet in plain text, we have a 
simple tutorial to walk you through the process.

5.  Contact Us

This section provides all our contact information.

6.  Announcements

This feature provides a simple method for us to communicate information to our 
website visitors.

7.  Support Goanet

public service.  We rely on your support to provide these services. This 
section provides a number of ways in which you can support Goanet.

8.  Polls

We hope to ask your opinion on some sizzling topics.

9.  Events Calendar

Goanet is a unique platform for communication worldwide. We hope to provide 
Goans around the world with a list of events both in their countries and 
abroad. Please feel free to submit events in your corner of the world.

10.  Aichea Dissak Chintop (Thought for the Day)

Dominic Fernandes' thoughtful one-liners are featured in this section.

As you can see, our website is filled with interesting and useful 
information.  And, this is just the start. We plan to develop our website 
further to provide some innovative tools.  Having said this, we will not 
neglect our mailing lists.  We will develop our website and mailing lists to 
compliment each other. We hope that our members will provide direction to us 
through their continued feedback.

We'd like to thank the Goanet community for its support over the last 10 
years. Goanet owes its success to you. Special thanks go to our volunteers for 
their outstanding public service: Fred Noronha, Viviana Coelho, Bosco D'Mello, 
and new volunteers Michelle D'Souza and Christina Pinto.

Enjoy the website!

Best wishes,

Herman Carneiro

[Goanet]GOANET ADMIN: ANNOUCEMENT of INITIATIVES

2005-01-28 Thread Herman Carneiro
Dear Goanet members,

In connection with Goanet's 10th anniversary, and plans to become even more 
meaningful to our readers in cyberspace, we have been working on a number of 
ideas over the past few months.

Over the past few years, we have launched the Cybermatrimonials network.  It 
puts interested people in touch with each other, and builds links leveraging 
cyberspace. This, together with the 'birthdays/anniversaries initiative', has 
been well appreciated by our readership.

In the coming weeks, we will be announcing some new initiatives. But the 
immediate one is the launch of Goanet News Service and a network called Goanet-
Careers.  We are currently finalising the launch of the Goanet News Service, 
which will bring in some special and exclusive coverage from, on and about Goa.

We are specially looking at how we can go beyond the mainstream, newspaper-
based news circuit in Goa. We see Goanet as contributing to play a positive 
role in creating more space for the average Goan (and friend of Goa) to 
express themselves.

We also look forward to bringing out more content that would be relevant to 
Goanetters of diverse age groups, interests and nationalities.

News has long been a vital input for Goanet. We recognise its importance in 
keeping the Goan diaspora connected with Goa, in helping them understand their 
roots, and in playing a more critical role in making a difference to Goa and 
the lives of the people of the region, wherever they may be currently living.  
We are in the process of revamping our news setup, and should have better 
options shortly in place. You can expect to see the impact of the changes 
within the next fortnight.

In the meantime, we would like to thank Joel D'Souza (GoaCom) and wish him 
well, for the news-summaries he has been offering our readers. Joel has 
followed the footsteps of Vishwas Chavan and Frederick Noronha, and has been 
one who has sent out daily news to the members of Goanet. Joel moves on to 
pursue other endeavours.  His last news clippings will be posted at the end of 
January.  We appreciate his contribution!

Goanet-Careers is oriented towards career-related issues for our readers. More 
information will follow.

How you can help Goanet:

 * Be a volunteer to report news happenings in your Goan community.
 * Be a volunteer to draw Goanet's attention to breaking news in cyberspace.
 * Opt to volunteer as a 'Goanet Overseas Ambassador', a 'GOA' island wherever 
you're located, building links between Goanet and the wider community of Goans 
and people interested in Goa.
 * Give feedback and suggestions regarding Goanet and its content.
 * Forward copies of news and postings to non-Goanetters (family and friends), 
and suggest that they sign-up if they'd benefit from this service.

It is important to us that you give us feedback during this process so that we 
can tailor our services to provide you with the information you want and to do 
it efficiently and effectively.  Your feedback matters!

Thank you Goanetters for your support in the past decade as we continue to 
undertake our innovative journey in unchartered cyberwaters.

Yours sincerely,

Herman Carneiro
Chair
Goanet Admin

[Goanet]RIBANDAR thread

2005-01-15 Thread Herman Carneiro
Dear Aires and members,

I think it's clear that most of our members are tired of hearing about the
Ribandar case over and over, especially when there have not been any
significant developments.  With that in mind, we're going to partially
close the discussion. If a post is made about a significant development in
the case we'll approve it. But, we'll only do it if there is a SIGNIFICANT
development.

Those of you who are interested in the case and would like updates, I
suggest that you contact Aires directly.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to
contact the Goanet Admin (copied above).

Sincerely yours,

Herman Carneiro
Goanet Admin





RE: [Goanet]Betting odds?

2005-01-03 Thread Herman Carneiro
Dear Tim, Ron and Mario,

Point taken. A few responses preceded by ***.


Quoting Tim de Mello [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 (Copying this to Herman  Fred as some of my posting to Goa-Net mysteriously
 disappear.)

*** It's not fair to say that your posts mysteriously disappear as if we 
discard them underhandedly. We have nothing to gain by doing that. If an email 
is rejected from the forum an email automatically sent to you automatically by 
the mailing list program. We add comments informing you why it was rejected.

If this is indeed happening, please send us an email and we'll look into it.


Quoting Tim de Mello [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Most of the exchange of e-mails on the political stance of the US in Iraq, 
 etc has been put forth by by some right wing leaning members. The have been 
 well ariticulated and for the most part these discussions have been carried 
 out in a civilized manner.
 
 The counter arguments have been put forward by many of our members who are 
 very well regarded by the general membership. They have articulated and 
 presented well balanced counter arguments. This debate, as far as content 
 goes, IMHO, surpasses many other discussions that have taken place on this 
 forum.
 
 These discussions have taken place between Goans who consider these 
 arguments important. To take such arguments offline, as some of them did, 
 deprives others of the discussion taking place.

*** We, too, thought that the debate was being carried out in a civilized 
manner, which is why we let it go on as long as it did. However, we demand a 
certain etiquette in participating in debates because we need to be 
considerate to all our members. Sending 10 posts in an hour arguing every 
minute point is unacceptable. You and I might find the email load acceptable, 
but many of our members who do not have good internet connections do not. They 
simply unsubscribe depriving themselves of this and other discussions. I don't 
think that is fair.

We repeatedly asked the participant involved to argue in a more concise 
manner, which he did not do.

Furthermore, not all the members on the list were welcomed the debate. One 
well-regarded member asked Is this Goanet or Iraq-Net?

We, therefore, decided to put and end to the debate.


Quoting Tim de Mello [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 There are many posts that keep popping up with fair regularity that I 
 consider annoying and of little merit either to Goa or to the general 
 membership. Consider, for example, the self promoting posts of Rene 
 regarding Goa Day.
 
 Is it the opinion of the GoaNet Admin team that as long as the post contains
 the word Goa in it, any such drivel is acceptable?

 The decision to stop the debate is nothing more than small minded thinking 
 by the Admin Team. And ridiculous!

*** We have a difficult task of moderating posts. The decisions we make will 
never please everyone. But, all of you know full well that we do have debates 
that are of general interest but not related to Goa. One has only to browse 
the archives to be convinced.

I think it's important for members to send us some feedback so that we can 
accommodate suggestions to improve the forum. Perhaps it's better to send us a 
discrete email rather than to single out people publicly.

Dear Sir,

With many thanks and kind regards,

 ST. XAVIER'S TOPS GOA UNIVERSITY RESULTS

Students of St. Xavier's College have done extremely well in  the
University  Exams  and secured First Rank for  TYBA,  TYBCom  and
TYBSc,  2004  exams.   Indeed,  it is for  the  first  time  that
students  of  these 3 streams have bagged first position  in  Goa
University results, in this College or any other college in Goa.

Ms.  Yolanda  Lobo  and  Ms. Ramona  Soares  obtained  the  first
position  in TYBCom with  538 marks each out of 700.  Ms.  Trupti
Chodankar secured the Third rank for the same exam with 533 marks
out  of 700.  Last year also, two students from our  College  had
shared the First rank and secured Third rank too.

Ms.  Yolanda Lobo is the daughter of Mr. Francisco Lobo  and  Ms.
Patty  Lobo  from  Calangute.   She  is  a  distinction   student
throughout her academic career.  She  has participated in several
contests and her performance has been always extremely good.  She
is  going  to pursue a career in Management at Goa  Institute  of
Management Studies for which she has already been selected.   She
wants to specialise in Finance.

Ms.  Ramona  Soares  is  a  very  popular  sportswoman  and   has
represented  the College in many sports disciplines.  She is  the
daughter of Mr. Roque Soares and Ms. Elsa Soares from Caranzalem.
She  takes active part in cricket, table tennis,  basketball  and
handball.  She intends to become a Company Secretary.

Yolanda  and Ramona represented the College at the  South  Indian
Level  Business  Contest  ACME 2003 held in  Mangalore  and  were
exposed to what is happening elsewhere in India.

Ms. Trupti Chodankar is very hard working student and hails  from
Colvale  and  is the daughter of Mr. Dinanath Chodankar  and  Ms.
Pushpavati Chodankar.  Her hobbies include reading, gardening and
tailoring and she aspires to be Company Secretary.

Ms.  Natasha Braganca secured First Rank for TYBA  obtaining  557
marks  out of 700.  Her specialisation papers were Economics  and
Psychology.   She  is  the  grand daughter  of  the  famous  poet
Nascimento Mendonca.  She is the daughter of Mr. Roy Braganza and
Ms.  Halina  Braganca  and hails from Mapusa.  She  was  born  in
Berlin  and  has just proceeded to Dubai where she  received  the
news of her excellent performance with great joy.  She plays  the
keyboards with a rare perfection and is the member of the  family
singing group.

Ms. Faminda D'Souza had the privilege of securing First Rank with
618 marks out of 700 at the TYBSc examination with specialisation
in  Computer  Science.   Her performance  has  been  constant  at
Distinction  level  throughout  her  academic  career  just  like
Natasha.   She is the daughter of Mr. Francisco D'Souza  and  Ms.
Eudes  D'Souza from Calangute.  She is proactive and was  crowned
as MISS XAVIER for the year 2003-2004.

This   is  an  extraordinary   event  where  there  has  been   a
convergence  of  ranks  at St. Xavier's.  All  these  5  students
attribute  their  success  to hard work,  God's  grace,  parents'
guidance  and  teachers' support.  They vouch for  the  role  the
College  has played in terms of creating a conducive  environment
for their all round development.

[Goanet]SPORT: India claim historic win (Cricket)

2004-04-16 Thread Herman Carneiro
Third Test, Rawalpindi, day four:
Pakistan 224  245 lost to India 600 by an innings and 131 runs

India secured a historic first series win in Pakistan after strolling to
victory by an innings and 131 runs in the third Test in Rawalpindi.

Anil Kumble cleaned up the tail to return 4-47 as the hosts were
dismissed for 245 soon after lunch. 

Asim Kamal struck a brave 60 not out despite batting with an injured
elbow.

The verdict sees Sourav Ganguly move ahead of Mohammad Azharuddin as
India's most successful Test captain with 15 victories.

It also capped India's first series win away from home since they
defeated Sri Lanka 1-0 in a three-Test series in 1993.

The hosts, 49-2 overnight, put on 148 for the loss of five wickets in an
eventful first session, with Lakshmipathy Balaji striking twice to
return 3-108.

They slumped to 95-4 before Kamal, who took a pain-killing injection at
the crease to treat an injured elbow, put on 81 for the sixth wicket
with Yousuf Youhana, who made 48.

Enough action was crammed into the first hour of play to befit a full
day's play, with three wickets, six dropped catches and an array of
curious strokeplay all potential highlights material.

The fireworks started in the first over, with nightwatchman Kamran Akmal
hitting Balaji for three boundaries and still finding time to be given a
life by a snoozing first and second slip.

The normally ultra-reliable Yuvraj Singh then dropped the easiest chance
he will ever get at forward short-leg, but Kamal ran out of lives in the
third over when Balaji uprooted his off-stump.

Pakistan's predicament required some prudence, but Yasir Hameed was
having none of it, offering two chances - to Sachin Tendulkar and Anil
Kumble - which India politely spilled.

Ironically, it required a catch of true quality to remove him, keeper
Parthiv Patel taking a one-handed gem down the leg-side in Ashish
Nehra's one-over first spell.

Skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq, who pledged to lead Pakistan out of the mire
after play on the third day, was given an early life by Rahul Dravid in
first slip off the luckless Balaji.

But he soon went - reducing the hosts to a parlous 94-5 - faintly edging
Balaji to Patel and walking, despite umpire Rudi Koertzen looking
motionless before offering a raised finger.

Pakistan looked set for a quick death with two new batsmen at the
crease, but Youhana and Kamal showed some welcome fight.

The sixth-wicket pair traded largely in boundaries, taking the score
along to 175 and offering the home crowd some hope.

That hope disappeared with the dismissal of Youhana, caught and bowled
by Kumble.

The leg-spinner found himself on a hat-trick in his next over after
having Mohammad Sami caught by Dravid for a first-ball duck.

Shoaib Akhtar swung hard at the ball for a streaky boundary down to
third-man, and kept swinging to take 18 runs off the over before
Pakistan lunched on 197-7.

The end soon came after the break, with Shoaib and Fazl-e-Akbar falling
to Kumble to take the leg-spinner's career haul to 397 wickets.

Indian players were sent into rapturous celebrations when Tendulkar's
removal of Danish Kaneria, caught by Ganguly, ended the match.






Pakistan: Inzamam-ul-Haq (captain), Imran Farhat, Taufeeq Umar, Yasir
Hameed, Yousuf Youhana, Asim Kamal, Kamran Akmal, Mohammad Sami, Shoaib
Akhtar, Danish Kaneria, Fazl-e-Akbar. 

India: Sourav Ganguly (captain), Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid, Sachin
Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Yuvraj Singh, Parthiv Patel, Irfan Pathan,
Lakshmipathy Balaji, Anil Kumble, Ashish Nehra. 

Umpires: David Shepherd (ENG), Rudi Koertzen (RSA)

Dengue fever claims 8 year old Ponda girl
-
An 8 year old girl succumbed in Manipal Hospital recently. The hospital 
authorities certified the death as due to dengue. However, the health 
authorities in the state denied the existence of dengue disease in the 
state. The Goa Medical College (GMC) superintendent Dr Rajan
Kuncolienkar said no patient suffering from dengue fever has been
admitted to GMC hospital.

2003-09-11 Thread Herman Carneiro
Dear Goanetters,

The topic being debated on Goa v/s Other Portuguese colonies... is being
closed. The subject has changed during the course of discussion.

The discussion is being closed because it is flaring up and becoming more
of a personal issue between those debating.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

2003-09-05 Thread Herman Carneiro
We at Goanet Administration would like to take this opportunity to thank
all of our members for their continued respectful discourse on issues
that are of common interest. We believe that Goanet is uniquely
qualified to offer a venue for communication on varied issues. In a
continuing effort to ensure that this forum remains respectful, we will
take this opportunity to repost The Rules and Guidelines. Please direct
comments and suggestions to Goanet Administration at:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please note that membership to this discussion group is provided FREE of
charge. In the event any person soliciting a financial contribution for
membership to the List approaches you, please report the incident to the
List's administration at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


RULES

1. Do not use foul or abusive language.

2. Do not engage in personal attacks. In other words, no name-calling.

3. Spam is not tolerated on this list. Goanet treats repeated postings,
commercial posts, lengthy reposts of an earlier posting, among others,
as spam. If you're quoting an earlier post, quote the minimum.

4. Do not send attachments or images with your message; text files
should not be sent as an attachment, rather, copy the text into your
message.

5. Use your real name as the Sender, not an alias.

6. Use a meaningful Subject Line.

7. Do not post messages in HTML or MIME formats, i.e. no bold, italics,
colored text, etc. Rather, format your emails in plain text only.

8. If you are copying a post from a website, post a brief description of
what you would like to communicate and include the URL address.

9. Do not post advertisements. Commercial postings have to be paid for
if circulated via Goanet. The Goanet Admin?s decisions on all matters
are final.

10. Once a particular discussion is declared closed by the Goanet
Admin Team, anyone continuing that discussion is likely to face action.
Every effort will be made to keep discussions democratic, free and open,
but when a topic goes on endlessly in circles or threatens to transgress
decent debate, or for any similar reasons, the Admin Team will be
empowered to declare that discussion closed.

A violation of any of the rules will result in a reprimand. Subsequent
violations could result in suspended or terminated membership. The
decision to suspend or terminate membership will be a function of the
severity and frequency of the breaches.


GUIDELINES

a. Post material which is relevant to Goan communities worldwide.

b. Keep your message brief.

c. Do not forward private email to the list without permission from the
author.

d. If you face a problem with another member, bring the complaint to
Goanet Administration at [EMAIL PROTECTED] rather than to the
list.

e. Use civil language and a polite tone in all your discussions.


TIPS

i. Use a smiley to indicate a lighthearted comment, e.g. =) :-) B^)

ii. New members might want to observe how the list works before posting,
or can check out the archives at:

http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/

iii. Pay attention to where your reply is going - do you really want the
entire list to receive your message, or would you rather limit the
audience?

iv. Post a brief profile of yourself to the list as soon as possible
after joining.

v. If you have problems with the volume of mail, shift to the
Goanet-Digest. You will receive one to three e-mails a day depending on
the list?s activity. To join Goanet-Digest contact Goanet Administration
at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


WE NEED YOUR HELP!

1. Publicize the existence of the Lists.

joining these Lists - we will not include them unless they agree to be
part of Goanet or Goanet-Digest.

bouquets. You can reach us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Goanet]Goanet's 9th Birthday

2003-08-26 Thread Herman Carneiro
Today marks the Goanet’s nineth birthday. Launched on August 25th, 1994,
Goanet was the first mailing list for Goans worldwide. I’d like to take
this opportunity to thank all of you who have helped make Goanet a success.

I cannot possibly name everyone who has been instrumental in its success.
We've had various organizations host us and given us a platform to grow
such as Northeastern University and GOACOM. We have various people
contribute to discussions at various times. They’ve made the list
interesting and lively. We also have silent members who show their support
by just being subscribed to the list and help us when called upon. They
play an important role too for we cannot have everyone posting to the
list. Many thanks for all of you for your role in Goanet's success.

There is a group, however, which I would like to send  special thanks to –
the Goanet admin team. Here’s to our present volunteers Vivian  Coelho,
Fred Noronha, Bosco D'Mello abd Vincente Fernandes, who work hard behind
the scenes to  ensure our lists run smoothly. Thank you for all your hard
work! And, thank you too to all the volunteers who have previously helped
us.

In the future I’d like to see the Goanet community become more involved
with Goan communities worldwide. Goanet is a unique tool through which we
can  work together to help each other. I’d also like to see more people to
participate in discussions and become more active in our community.
Together we can make this list vibrant and more attractive.

Goanet’s birthday is something for us all to celebrate. I’d like to invite
you to share your Goanet experience with us, whether you are an old-timer
or a new comer.

Viva Goanet!!!

Best wishes,

- Herman

Herman Carneiro

compilations of the unabridged posts, which come with a list of contents
at the top which you can quickly scan to see what interests you.

BASIC COURSE IN NATUROPATHY
Conducted by
Fr. M. Britto Joseph S.J.

This is a two-day workshop focussing on the philosophy
and principles of Nature Cure. Nature can heal us and
enable us to maximise our health, if we allow her to do
so. To do this, we need to understand the principles of
Nature, for it is in these principles that the keys to
our cures are found.

The workshop brings a practical awareness of Man's
relationship with all the other elements in the living
environment, and the interplay between these elements.
What happens when there is an imbalance among the
elements, and how balance can be regained, which brings
health.

Simple natural remedies that can cure or alleviate
physical suffering are surprisingly to be found in the
home itself, in humble herbs and spices usually not
thought of. When incorporated into the everyday diet,
these articles of food can go a long way in supporting
other nature-consonant treatments to cure a variety of
ailments.

How to handle small everyday health problems that crop
up, without having to rush to doctors or pop chemical
pills with harmful side-effects? This is a question
which young parents are often faced with, as well as
people who have a high susceptibility to ailments, and
seem to pass from one ailment to another.

How can major ailments be avoided, and so unnecessary
hospital and medical bills be reduced in the long run?
You will be surprised to learn how many simple natural
alternatives there are, which when incorporated in your
lifestyle, will maintain your state of health, improve
it and bring you hope.

By following natural principles as a way of life, all
these things are possible, as well as that most
precious result of health continuing joy!
