[Goanet] Fwd: Requests for signatures on the Petition to UNESCO
--- http://www.GOANET.org --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php --- Dear Carmen, Further to this email, our car is expected back today and we are planning a business trip to Panjim tomorrow. As we will be in the Panjim area, we are wondering if you would have a few minutes to talk to us both, about your plans, expectations, how far you have gotton at this point in time, and if there is any help we may render in this worthy project. As we said before, we were really sad that we could not be at your Talk on October 31st, despite making every effort to get to Panjim later that day, and particularly so after weaving through queues of cars to get petrol for the trip. We look forward to your response, Meanwhile, send our warm regards, Betsy and Richard Subject: Fwd: Requests for signatures on the Petition to UNESCO Dear Carmen, We wish to thank you very much for sending us the notification of your talk in Panjim on October 31st, which, very, very sadly, we were unable to attend as we had two major problems. After managing to get some petrol in Margao and were on our way to Panjim, our car developed serious problems and had to be towed to the SAI garage in Nuven. It has not yet been returned because they found some further items with major problems. In fact, we have just had a call from SAI to say that they will not be delivering car until, the earliest, tomorrow afternoon !! We are really sad about this, particularly we had been so looking forward to your talk and to gain some insight into this very important subject, especially as we have recently retired to Goa, from Kenya. We now have a request to make. If, perchance, you happen to be in our area, Cavelossim / Mobor area, down South, kindly make a stop over to our home or we could meet you somewhere nearer home at a place and time convenient to you.We would certainly not want to miss the opportunity of meeting up with you. Look forward to your response, meanwhile our warm regards, Betsy and Richard Mobile No: 9764329134 9764329137 Subject: Re: Requests for signatures on the Petition to UNESCO Dear Carmen, It was great receiving your email and to note that you will be in Goa on October 28th. Kindly let us know where you will be giving your talk, in Panjim. We should be able to attend if it is at a convenient time for travel in this mad Goa traffic. It will be lovely to meet you before you go to Karnakata. We could also inform a few of our new-found friends here in Goa and together make an entertaining event of it. Rest assured, we will continue to circulate your Petition and anything connected with it. Please give our warm regards to Selina, She has been our very good family friend from Nairobi and we were sorry to lose her and her talents to the United Kingdom. Warm regards, Betsy and Richard Dears Richard and Betsy So nice to receive your e-mail and thank you very much for your support! Much appreciated! I will be arriving in Goa on 29th October and will be giving a talk in Panjim on the 31st before I go to Karnakata to take part in a workshop on tourism. On my return to Goa I hope to continue to campaign in Goa if the crab mentality does not bring me down. Thanks for the explanation by the way - I too wondered about the meaning of that phrase! It has been an uphill struggle to get our community worldwide to cooperate which is a shame! Together we can achieve much more and the weight of global public opinion on some issues can be very powerful ! Yet it is so hard to get Goans to take action! Thanks again for your support and keep in touch! With warm regards Carmen Hi Carmen, Happy to say, we are forwarding this message too to the 99 email ID addressees that we have around the world, which includes the Goan Welfare Society, Nairobi who, in turn, have circulated it to addressees in their huge email IDs book. Good luck with your endeavours to get the Dudhsagar Falls and its environs declared UNESCO's World Heritage Site. We enjoyed our recent trip to Hampi, another UNESCO site and the Falls on our return train journeys from Hospet. Our family from the U.K. treated us to a four nights/five days trip. Daughter, Cynthia, is married to John McDonnell, the current M.P. in the Labour Party for Hayes and Harlington, Middx.. We are recent retirees in Goa, having arrived here from Kenya in June, 2008. We are enjoying our stay immensely, because of the affordable cost of living ... but are certainly

He got out of his car and joined a line to find out why so many people wanted to leave the country. No sooner did people see their President with them they left the queue to return to their homes. President Zardari asked them why they were doing so. They replied: If you are leaving Pakistan then there is no need for us to go Cajetan de Sanvordem Kuwait.

[Goanet] cops
--- http://www.GOANET.org --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php --- Cops When I was a child we used to play a game named cops 'n' robbers. Today, I guess, the game would have to be amended and retitled cops are robbers! With cops in Goa accused of rape, robbing and selling of confiscated drugs, what is next? Are people safe from cops (never mind) robbers? Can a Goan go to a police station today to make a legitimate complaint and expect to find justice? If not Goans of good will are living in fear and something must be done about it before things go from bad to worse. We often hear stories about cops coming under pressure of politicians and have to do their bidding. With police jobs up for sale, it is the first step on the ladder of corruption, and obviously, it gets worse as the stakes go up! I guess this is one more issue the Goans need to confront the politicians with prior to the coming elections. With Goa going to the polls shortly the choice before the electorate appears to be between the devil and the not so blue sea. For us expats (also known as cows and bulls) who have gone astray in search of greener pastures, the view from paradise is indeed an eyesore. Goa is going to the dogs. We, no doubt, are guilty of sins of omission but also commission? That, I think, is giving us expats too much credit! The state of Goa today is the responsibility of the people (not strayed bulls and cows) who live there. While it is true the grass is not so green compared to abroad, who needs it when there is iron ore at home? Little mercies ...?

Re: [Goanet] Did Bob Marley know Konkani?
--- http://www.GOANET.org --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php --- Hi Patrice, You forgot to find out the following from your source: Was there really a young deaf-mute girl, Idalina, in Anjuna, who supplied tea and local snacks to hippies? Is there a Flea Market in Anjuna on Fridays? We know there is one on Wednesdays. How could a deaf-mute girl scream at Bob Marley whenever she saw him? Full moon parties were held on a full moon night and not specifically on a Friday night. Silviano Barbosa is a wonderful fiction writer (to know him more, please read his book 'The Sixth Night' (Sottve Rati); his was a humorous response. You didn't have to go to that length to find out if Bob Marley was indeed in Anjuna, Goa. Now I say: Tannem bob marli ani ami aikoli! (He shouted and we heard it!) As far as Konkani is concerned, many foreigners who lived in Goa from the late 1960s through mid 1980s spoke Konkani fluently. Of course, their children spoke better Konkani. Presently, foreigners' children are learning Konkani in our schools. Have a good day! Moi-mogan, Domnic Fernandes Anjunkar Mobile: 9420979201 -Original Message- From: Patrice Riemens LOL here too at the purported Anjuna adventures of rasta Bob, yet I asked an oldie who should know (one of the early 70 hippies). He wrote me: But was he ever in Goa? You should know... Simple answer is no. I would have known, if he was, surely. I remember driving huge distances across India, in the early 80s, to his music on the stereo, though :-) Neither was Pete Townsend, BTW, which was the prevailing rumour, at the time, because The Who had donated a drum kit, which Trumpet Steve had brought to Anjuna. Cheerio, p+3D!

[Goanet] Goa Paid News story makes front page -- all editions -- of The Hindu
--- http://www.GOANET.org --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php --- Hi, An update on the Goa Paid News story... For the first time since the Goa 'paid news' story broke on October 25, a mainstream newspaper has finally taken cognizance of the issue. Credit to the dogged perseverance of the paper's rural editor P Sainath and its local correspondent Prakash Kamat who have been co-ordinating and patching together inputs for over a week. The story Goa daily stung by paid news bughttp://paidnewsingoa.blogspot.com/2011/11/goa-paid-news-story-makes-front-page.html and another related story which was also published on page 14 of today's edition of The Hindu can also be found on the bloghttp://paidnewsingoa.blogspot.com/. regards Mayabhushan *Goa daily stung by paidnews bug*http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article2592365.ece Caught offering to publish scripted political interview as ‘news' for Rs. 86,400 “First we'll do one interview on TV on HCN [Herald Cable Network] and after that episode next week, we can carry the same kind of write-up [in the Herald] … how it appeared today, no ... for the HCN thing you have to make a payment of 50,000 [rupees] … and this particular size for Herald, it will be 86,400 rupees … Only you will have to prepare from your side which kind of questions you will like to answer comfortably …” Paid news is no stranger to Goa, only this time it's drawing unfriendly attention. Those are excerpts from recorded conversations between Tulshidas Desai, marketing manager of OHeraldO (the Herald) and Goa-based journalist Mayabhushan Nagvenkar. The journalist was pulling off a sting posing as Bernard Costa, a would-be candidate in the State's Assembly polls to be held early next year. Sales pitch The Herald's marketing manager is making a sales pitch when the journalist calls up and asks how much it would cost to have an interview of himself dressed up as news. The Herald claims to be Goa's largest-circulated English daily. “Ya, but can you send me a quotation?” the journalist posing as a candidate asks Mr. Desai. “A rough quotation [of what it costs]?” Mr. Desai knows an ethical line is being crossed and is wary of leaving a trail. “This is like an editorial kind of thing, no,” he says. “I can't mention on the paper, you know … .” Money for interview In the conversations, the marketing manager appears to confirm that Raymond D'Sa [an aspiring candidate from Cortalim in south Goa] paid Rs. 2 lakh to get his ‘interview' carried in the Herald of October 20, the morning of the conversation. Mr. Nagvenkar: “So Raymond's interview was [for] two lakh [rupees].” Desai: “Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya …” But “you are not going to say advertorial, [above the interview], no? asks the journalist. No, Mr. Desai [who first mentioned ‘advertorial'] reassures him. It would be just like Raymond D'Sa's interview. “Today how nothing is mentioned no? Like that only … .” However, Mr. D'Sa, when contacted by The Hindu, flatly denied having made any payment for the interview. Since these audio recordings went public, all hell has broken loose. Except in Goa's media, which remains stoically silent on a scandal which broke just after the Election Commission of India handed out the first-ever verdict in Indian electoral history disqualifying a sitting legislator for improper accounts and indulging in “paid news.” -- Herald denies ‘paid news’ charge but ball in Press Council court nowhttp://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article2592371.ecehttp://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article2592371.ece Armed with recordings, transcripts, emails and cuttings, Mayabhushan Nagvenkar has taken the matter of what he calls “an open and shut case” of ‘paid news' against *OHeraldO* of Goa to the Press Council of India. The Press Council defines ‘paid news' as “any news or analysis appearing in any media [print or electronic] for a price in cash or kind as consideration.” Mr. Nagvenkar backs his complaint with audios and transcripts of four telephonic conversations with the Herald's marketing manager, Tulshidas Desai, recorded between October 20 and 22. The conversations, he charges, indicate that the newspaper regularly indulges in such paid political news. He also alleges that Mr. Desai could not have pushed a deal like this without the consent, “tacit or otherwise,” of the editorial leadership. Asked for his response, Mr. Desai flatly rejected the charges and asserted he had only been talking of an “advertorial concept.” He denied ever interfering in “the editorial area.” In a statement responding to the complaint to the PCI, Herald editor
