Re: [Goanet] final list of candidates
Thanks to Navhind Times for carrying the full list, constituency-wise, and I noticed that Su-raj has two, Julius Pereira in Aldona and Annabella Maria Pereira in Taleigoa. Aldona is a nice pickle with the big guns, Dr. Wilfred D'Souza and Dayanand Narverkar. If Julius wins it would indeed be a historic one. Similarly, if Annabella humbles Jennifer Monserrate on the latter's home ground, it would be a resounding slap against the virtual rulers of Taleigoa. Give it to Floriano for taking the challenge to fight the mighty. Knowing he had less chance to win against Babush, he fielded himself in a previous election. It's time to do engage in forecasting the results. JoeGoaUK has already done his maths. So, this time the number of candidates has increased marginally, from 202 to 215. Last time there were 88 male and 14 females, with the female number decreasing to 9. Sadly missing Victoria Fernandes and Viola Pacheco.If Victoria had thrown herself in the ring in Taleigoa, it would be a re-match between Jennifer and Victoria. It is worth walking for miles to see them mud-wrestle. If the good doctor was keen on defeating the Congress candidate in Benaulim, he should have not fielded John Fernandes on the Trinamool Congress ticket. The BJP has obviously stayed out here perhaps because this is a strong Christian constituency. The Christian vote will suffer and if even Valanka or Hubert wins, it could be with small margin. These are just quickie shots. I await Floriano to make his prediction. As for me, I think both his candidates will win and will rule Goa with Floriano as CM ;-( This primary school kid wants to learn from the guru.

[Goanet] The 'do-gooders' for Goa
To Goanet - Reading Freddy Agnelo Fernandes' observation that everyone seems to know what's good for Goa except Goans themselves reminded me of my own chance encounters within the last 3-4 days with a couple of guys (Indians) who are visiting Goa. They have these pies in the sky for Goa and they are here in Goa to sell them to Goan suckers. The problem is, Goa was doing just fine without all these Indian 'ideas.' (note the quotes) These aren't quality entrepreneurs I am talking about. These guys are what I would call 'operators.' The opening gambit is flattery - and the whole world knows that it is extremely easy to flatter a Goan - about how Goa and Goans are great, this that and the other. My question to them is almost always, why don't you go and pitch this super idea to your own hometown or state? Don't you want to improve your own place? Why this love for Goa, dude? After this little conversation the guy's enthusiasm evaporates. No matter, he will soon find a Goan toad to carry his water. r --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---

[Goanet] New business for new renewables-CSE's Bulletin, Feb16, 2012
== CSE's Fortnightly News Bulletin (February 16, 2012) == Some time back, CSE had carried out an analysis of the project clearances granted by the ministry of environment and forests over the last five years. Our findings had blasted a hole in industry's contention that green clearances were holding up development projects in the country. On Feb 24-25, CSE's Anil Agarwal Dialogue on Green Clearances will bring together regulators, civil society and industry to discuss and debate this contentious issue. Also on the burner are a number of new training programmes, courses and other activities and events. And of course, we bring you this fortnight's package of news, features and opinions from Down To Earth, as usual... === To subscribe to this newsletter, or any of our other newsletters, please click on http://cseindia.my2.in/cseindia/?p=subscribe To unsubscribe from this newsletter, just click http://www.cseindia.org/content/please-enter-your-email-id-unsubscribe-cse-newsletter If you have any questions or concerns about newsletter subscription, please contact Vikas Khanna at vi...@cseindia.org == EDITORIAL: New business for new renewables by Sunita Narain == It was a trade exhibition abuzz with the restrained chatter of busy suited executives at company stalls making contacts and finalising deals. Nothing out of place except that this trade was about renewable energy technologies, which have unconventional reasons for growth. First, these technologies are seen as the most economical and feasible source of energy for millions of people unconnected to the electricity grid and having no electricity to light their houses or cook their food. This energy poverty is disabling and needs to be eradicated. Introduction of decentralised and improved technologies paves the way to catapult the poorest of the households into the most modern systems. Secondly, these technologies—from wind and solar to biomass—provide cleaner low-carbon energy options to combat climate change. These are future systems critical for survival of all. Strangely enough the gathering knew none of these objectives. For them it was just a business, made lucrative by public investment. It was only business as usual. But this is a fundamental disconnect. The fact is that the business of renewable technologies is based on a different rationale and different and explicit social objectives. The fact also is that this business, because of these objectives, is being supported through public financing and subsidy. Therefore, the business is not about the usual, but the unusual. This unusual business requires different models of growth, which can promote entrepreneurship, innovation and profit, but for common and environmental good. If this does not happen, the public subsidy and public goodwill for this business will be lost. The future will be squandered. We know that the fastest penetration of new energy sources is most likely to happen in regions still growing in provisioning of basic necessities. The already rich have built their energy infrastructure; they are energy reckless. They need to move to clean energy, for their massive carbon footprint is taking the world down. According to the International Energy Agency, the growth of primary energy supply in OECD countries is expected to be 0.3 per cent annually, while in India it will be the highest at 3 per cent annually between 2009 and 2035. The infrastructure is being built now; it is most appropriate not to “lock out” renewable and clean energy. We also know that the countries ahead in building new energy infrastructure also have the largest number of poor people, who do not have access to energy. The same Paris-based energy agency’s global data book also tells us that there is huge energy poverty in the world and that this energy source is still priced higher than conventional energy systems. Here lies the nub of the problem. The poorest need access to what are currently the most expensive systems. This is possible only with massive public-financed programmes that drive down the cost. It is not as if renewable energy is per se a new venture. Currently, 10-12 per cent of the primary energy supply comes from renewable sources (not counting hydroelectricity). But new renewables—technologies of the future —still make up only 1 to 2 per cent of this supply. The rest comes from biomass systems of the poor like the stove that burns wood or cow dung. These are the clients who can now either take the next step on the energy ladder to kerosene or LPG, or can jump to the top of the ladder by moving to modern biomass energy sources. These are the same clients who are in the dark and today have the option of selecting decentralised mini-grids for their
Re: [Goanet] Mathany and BJP -the greening of Goa
Dea Ms. Carvalho, we seem to be the only ones to notice. Well, liberal is good when communities understand and respect the definition of 'freedom'. Unfortunately, the 'new green' is very oppressive and freedom, is a word they never heard of. Or rather, the freedom is to do as they please in a land so blessed by nature, to over run your culture, to drive one in the corner till you can live and breath no mo. There is the lot that organizes the Vascu marathon (aai-hai, the lovely Gul Pang running tru Bina gets the back of my little brain fluttering) have this slogan...'beautifying Vascu'. Do these f*cks ever get out of their air conditioned cars or wot? This city is diseaseimagine, the first planned city on free fall!! Yes indeed, having lived here way before the P*rtuguese leftone has recently changed the lock on the front door. The front door has never been locked and there was a time when foxes and wild cats roamed the hill (and often raided the hen house)! The other Mrs. Carvalho may not have known but the area below Alto Brito (now known as Bina road) had families from Afgin*stan and a clan of pathans (one of them played for the fammed Vascu club)...and their festivities, their food are fresh in ones memory. They considered themselves local, they spoke Concani, they were part of the community. There was a welcome and openness in the way they went about their daily lives. Ones parents would be mortified if they heard one speaks a word against the 'green'. But this is a different lot, a lot that has no rules, not a sense of community, a culture of wrecking. Its the new 'green'. Something like the ghettos of Birmingham or for that matter, Rexdale in Toronto. Its 'we are here' so deal with the rut, our violence, on our terms, play by our rules. One remembers quotes from the clever Dr. Jack Straw, a former UK minister who famously refused to treat patients with their head covered and told the newcomers in publicyou are in the UK, deal with our culture or... We don't have a politician with a little sause ** ***lls to say this!! Different times, troubling times and everyone is fighting for a ticket, to make a quick buck. Then what?

By the time you reach St Andrews Church the last vestige of its former glory standing against the onslaught of mindless insanity, those of us who grew up in Salcete, fall on us knees and pray to St. Andrews that such a horrific plague of destruction never visits Salcete. Alas, Margao is already beset with a similar plague. If anyone wants a look into Goa's future, I advise them like Pandu says, to take a bus to Vascu and stare it squarely into its face. Incidentally, I don't see any hope for the slumification of Goa being reversed. That door was sealed the day Goa became part of India. We can only hope now that someone will make a film of Goa's slums 50 years from now and we'll have Goans writing paeans in the New Yorker telling us how wonderful and productive life actually is in a slum like Goa-Darawi. If there is one thing Indians are extraordinarily good at it is slummifying every city, town or living area they set foot in. For proof, visit cities in London which are Indian strongholds.

Re: [Goanet] Dan Driscoll on colds
Hey there, actually, what works for one usually does not for the other. A constant cold is a worry and I suspect it is linked to pollution (or the naughty neighbouring g*ssipy *? *wink wink*). Or mould. Saw a small clip out of an old home remedies book on flickr but unable to find it.I think its more temp relief: (from memory) it said, boil water, w/salt, annis seed/annis oil and 5 drops of iodine. Inhale. Quick relief. One has grown not to trust the medicl practiti*ners ever so ready with their prescriptions (here and in particular, kanada). Mind you, there are the old world d*ctors who 'cared' they are increasingly hard to come by. Ah, since you mentioned you were returning back to the kanadato keep healthy, stay away from the super-market milk, milk products (unless organic), bread/wheat products, meats The Fud inspection agency there has utter disregard for the health of its citizenry (my view) and the stats speak for themselves. *mind you, some numb-nut will write back challenging this, but never mind*. Forget the stats for a minute.look around (in kanada) and the old herbalists are now back in business and its the belief of alternative communities that there is after all cures in nature. Please note, when and if you visit a herbalist, do buy herbs that are kanadian grown...not imported. The imports are nuk%d, which the poets and dreamers think have lost their curative properties. Herbs are a slow and long term curative effects and a welcome alternative is oils. The growing mid-eastern communities in kanada have brought with them merchants who sells oils that are used as food, cosmetic and medical/preventive use. Did you know that the only place clean (no pesticide) regular olive oil comes from Morocco or Algeria? Did you know what the second largest export after fur from Kanada in the old days was?...likely still iswild ginseng...had a moratorium till recently on its harvesting. The kanadian Quebec wild variety is sought afterfor good luck, good health etc. On a side notethere is an Indian doktor Shah (not sure he is a nature cure or the garden variety-alopath) who passed away in Goa (a few years ago). The late Drs Dr. Shah's message was that modern meds don't cure...rather provide relief (or something to that effect). They said that once ones body ingests over-the-counter variety meds, ones body is (to use a Concani term) 'bostolem'. Contaminated or gone bad. Since Newfoundland is a province over, they have a long tradition of herbal cures and a lovely book festival...and the most interesting writers in inglish!!

[Goanet] Candidate for Cuncolim
Candidate for Cuncolim In my student days, majority of those that i chanced to come across were mostly Cuncolimkars in high positions and influence. There is no denial of the fact that in the villages of Assolna, Chinchinim, Velim Cuncolim. The highly placed individuals from Cuncolim,were educated and financially well off ..It is my personal observation and not based on any statistical survey. In the freedom struggle too Cuncolim village was in the fore front and their contribution is worthy of mention.Then during Opinion poll. it was Sabhu Dessai with his joyti, unchallenged, entered the bastion of MGP strongholds and carried the message against merger deep inside their hinterland.Only Sabhu Dessai, from Cuncolim could have achieved this feat, fired with missionary zeal and not motivated by any selfish interests to his very end. His contribution is no way can be called insignificant and deserves all the credit Election to the Cuncolim Assembly became a bone of contention, on which the villagers could not see either horizontally or vertically.One wonders why they had to import an individual from the distance not even contiguous with the boundaries of the constituency and was also indistinct by any standards of objectivity. It is sad and pathetic that there is no villager among them worthy of their trust and confidence to represent them It is the division among them that has allowed a rank outsider to prosper and stamp the mark of indispensability on their psyche It is genuinely hoped that the villagers will put aside their petty squablings and see the rise of their own villager and redeem the pride and honour as per the traditions , sacrifices and contributions of their ancestors Nelson Lopes Chinchinim --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---

But then with not just 2 candidates, but 2 and half candidates running, the chess board is the prerogative of the players who will push the bottons on the D-day. 2 and half because Ashley Gomes of Calangute who was supposed to file his nomination papers under the GRA-GSRP ticket did not do so and we had thought that he had developed cold feet or warm pockets. But it makes us happy to see that he is in the race as 'INDEPENDENT'. It is well understood why he got cold feet to file under GRA-GSRP. However, he is still a member of GRA and the ticket which was endorsed by GRA still stands. Therefore, technically, with Ashley Gomes supported fully by GRA there is now a triangular fight with Agnelo Fernandes of INC, Michael Lobo of the BJP and Ashley Gomes of GRA. The people of Calangute do have an escape route with Ashley around and should use this opportunity to do the demolitions just like the demolitions of Calypso hotel by floriano. GRA is fully supporting Ashley Gomes for the 3 March Grand Motocross Race. After that GRA no further ambitions as far as Calangute is concerned with Ashley saluting the Chequered flags and will take things is stride as they come. Similarly, since Joseph Gonsalves of Quepem (Independent) will be fighting on Two Candles symbol of GRA-GRSP, GRA is fully geared to support him him to see that INC's Babu Kawlekar eats the mining dusts he has created. Hopefully the GRA-GSRP team will be addressing the Quepem meet organized by Joseph Gonsalves for Sunday 19 Feb. Cheers floriano GRA-GSRP PS: Eugene may rest assured that the Primary Schools in GOA with floriano as jockey riding the Su-Raj CM shall be GOA Shining as indicated in GSRP's Road Map for Goa. - Original Message - From: Eugene Correia eugene.corr...@gmail.com To: goa...@goanet.org Sent: Friday, February 17, 2012 11:33 AM Subject: Re: [Goanet] final list of candidates Thanks to Navhind Times for carrying the full list, constituency-wise, and I noticed that Su-raj has two, Julius Pereira in Aldona and Annabella Maria Pereira in Taleigoa. Aldona is a nice pickle with the big guns, Dr. Wilfred D'Souza and Dayanand Narverkar. These are just quickie shots. I await Floriano to make his prediction. As for me, I think both his candidates will win and will rule Goa with Floriano as CM ;-( This primary school kid wants to learn from the guru.

From the little I know, the only Straw in the UK Cabinet (thus far) is a lawyer.
