[Goanet] Book review: The Mughals, the Portuguese and the Indian Ocean
http://www.thehindu.com/books/books-reviews/religion-trade-and-the-sea/article4689813.ece Excerpt from the link above: Goa occupied an important place in the maritime history of that time and in a chapter City in metaphor, almost 200 years of Goan history is told. Goa, originally known as Gopakapattanam, became the stronghold of Portuguese after the city was taken over by the latter from Bijapuris in 1510, and by 1520 became a major trading centre. To beat the Muslims and the Banias in trade, the Portuguese launched many innovative schemes luring the trader community. This brought about a process of urbanisation and building of the city opened more opportunities for trade. More political and religious mechanisms were used to augment the ability of Portuguese to use the space as a social base for perpetual control. This point is well brought out in this chapter and looks at the history of Goa in a fresh light. ~Avelino

[Goanet] Fw: Dabolim Mopa
Dears, The pro-MOPA argument of our IIT CM Manohar Parrikar based on the Cargo-Export Hub goes out of the window vide the above. We thank Vito Gomes for the above forward. When we say the fight between GOANS FOR DABOLIM ONLY on the one side and the GOVT of GOA (more specifically with the contracted by vested interests on MOPA CEO Manohar Parrikar to deliver the goods) and the Indian Navy on the other side, shall be a protracted fight, we have the kind of fight in mind that will not be based on time wasting and ineffective darnas, protests marches, hunger strikes et al where the general public, more specifically GOANs whose sympathies are needed for this protracted fight, will not be INCONVENIENCED and therefore turning non-sympathetic towards the cause, but it will be a 'flashmob' fight which will be concentrated within the jurisdiction of these institutions, making them put up their hands and give up. On this basis, we say that MOPA will never be allowed to come up and the INDIAN NAVY's so called 'SMALL DEFENSE ENCLAVE at DABOLIM, irrespective of being urgently re-furbished with more fighter squadrons or not, will be force to shift out. Let us see how the Navy and the Powers that be in New Delhi can withstand the Boos from GOANS for DABOLIM ONLY. This fight is the ALL GOA FIGHT to reclaim what has been taken for granted for 52 long and arduous years of SO CALLED LIBERATION of not only keeping certain sections of GOANs pacified but also taking GOANS for a jolly good ride by selling them on the patriotic emotion of having been LIBERATED. GOANS HAVE NOW REALIZED THAT THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN LIBERATED BUT RE-COLONIZED TO THE WORST EXTENT OF BEING LOOTED NAKED.

[Goanet] Chess welcomes a new head, a politician
Chess welcomes a new head, a politician Times News Network, April 29 Goa’s politician-riddled sports associations welcomes yet another politician in its fold as Vinay Tendulkar, president of the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party(BJP), was elected president of the Goa Chess Association on Sunday. Tendulkar grabbed 23 of the possible 24 votes but received a setback when Sanjay Kavlekar, perceived to be the president - elect’s man, announced his withdrawal from the race. Kavlekar, a coach employed with the Sports Authority of Goa(SAG) was forced to withdraw following some strong words from the All India Chess Federation, less than 24 hours before the elections. Kavlekar’s ‘withdrawal’ paved the way for Kishore Bandekar to be elected Secretary and is now faced with the tough task of cleaning the mess that has set in. “For the last two years, chess has taken a backseat and politics took over. Players and parents were selectively targeted, unworthy names were promoted and the less said the better about the manner in which chess was being promoted in the state,” said a chess official. For the past several months, chess has been making news for all the wrong reasons. Some of Goa;s leading names have come up with strong performances at National and International level, but faced with the prospect of facing elections, the previous committee did not cover itself in glory. “It all began with the formation of the taluka associations. They hand-picked their own men, including, in some cases, family members and those who they felt would become a hindrance to them were selectively kept out,” said another anguished parent whose child has been at the rough end of the GCA stick. The manner in which the association snatched the voting rights of its life members, ostensibly in line with AICF directives and the yet-to-be-implemented Sports Code left a bitter taste in the mouths of several veterans. “Right from illegally amending the constitution and depriving voting rights to its members to forming taluka level associations by hand-picking own nominees who now occupy the top posts, there has been a planned and systematic rigging of the electoral process. Some of the taluka nominees do not even know and understand chess,” Sandeep Heble, a member of Tiswadi Taluka Chess Association complained in one of the letters to Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar. There were several other complaints too. Like violation of Government rules and CCS Circulars by SAG Coaches. The SAG, too, did not exactly cover itself in glory after they withdrew a NOC given to Kavlekar, then, presumably under political pressure, issued it again, only for the AICF to put a stop. Tendulkar is the new man at the top of the chess board. He must ensure the same old people, and vices, do not afflict the sport again.
[Goanet] Death Notices on Goan Voice UK
Dear Gabe and Eddie I am aware of the case of Mr Stephen Gomes (90) and as a previous editor of the now defunct Goan Association hardback magazine standard newsletter there is an official government policy on disclosure of information. This also applies to banking, police and other matters. Our Goan community at large is looking for special status. This is one good example. Eddie has got a difficult job and I wholly agree with his comments. I note that Mr Gomes had no relations and that after the death notice was published in Goan Voice and some information on negligence against St George's Hospital with the possibility of claiming compensation i.e. money (it's a Goan/people thing in the United Kingdom where money meant for the treatment of patients is being decanted into compensation payments to satisfy greed) - there has been a sudden burst of activity from relations that no one was aware of. | understand the funeral is due to take place on the 9 May. If we do have any organised body with mature record keeping who could work on this further it should be the Goan Association Welfare Department who raise funds through dances in the name of charity.

[Goanet] BOOK REVIEW: Afterlife - Ghost stories from Goa
Creepy tales SHEILA KUMAR A triad of mysteries, two of them with other-worldly beings, makes for a rewarding read. Faleiro's collection of stories feature Goan ghosts in Goan locales. The Fonseca clan gathers to celebrate Savio's 75th birthday and, for some reason not really explained, one by one, they begin to tell of their experiences and encounters with denizens of the other world. Faleiro starts off tamely with the story of a much-loved son who has something to tell his ailing mother and comes in the form of a kogul bird. The tales start to get on stronger ground, if you will pardon the contradictory term, from then on. There are watery-eyes ghosts (indeed, a felicitous description) ghosts from the Portuguese Inquisition period; guilt-ridden nanny apparitions, and the like. Willy-nilly, the stories become a colourful background detail; the reader is basically gleaning a lot of information about the tale-tellers themselves, their quirks, their eccentricities, their belief or cynicism. And yes, life in Goa forms the subtle leitmotif. Falerio employs no artful device in the telling of her story. The style and language are uncomplicated and the descriptive passages have an informed elegance. Only thing, the reader is likely to be in on the game (the main stratagem, if you will) long before the denouement; at least, this reader was. Also, this slim volume of carefully calibrated; almost gentle ghost stories with a lovely black and white cover picture, so full of atmosphere. Minakshi Chaudhry curates supernatural sagas from Shimla and presents them for the reader's delight in the most simplistic manner possible. Indeed, at times, the stories are forced to stand purely on their merit, because Chaudhry seems to be more collator than writer. It's all there, right from the mist-laden trees on the jacket, the hoary chestnuts that attend to ghosts in hill towns: forlorn wraiths; churails who wander at 'water sources' between 12.00 noon and 3.00 pm; the dread sound of unseen hooves; the atmosphere always, but always, turning eerily chilly when a visitation is on; baleful and cranky ghosts balancing helpful and amiable ones; mostly unsuspecting victims and a couple who know or sense what they cannot see. The book has a charming idea at its heart but falls heavily on the execution front. A room becomes a house in the same story; punctuation takes frequent leave of absence in a most substantial manner; tenses play fast and loose with the text. Repetition forms the backbone of these stories; apparently most of the ghosts conform to some code of behaviour. I would say the reader can safely give this lot of stories a skip but the book is in its fourth impression, so obviously one person's lame ghost is another's terror-inducing phantom. The pick of this lot is Liddle's set of short stories, which are not so much spectral or supernatural in nature as slice-of-life tales that come with a mandatory twist to each tale's tail, a kicker that the reader starts to anticipate and second-guess soon. The people are everypeople, ordinary, banal but capable of mining their intrinsic base nature if the situation so required... and, in Liddle's world, the situation frequently calls for such regression. So, overtly nice people turn just a wee bit evil; murder is contemplated and committed; the disadvantaged and the deprived choose to shrug rather than drown; and yes, everywhere, people give in limpidly to temptation. Liddle does a nice line in creeps. Which is why the reader is willing to overlook minor league nuisances like italics where they don't need to be, an awkwardly constructed sentence or two, incongruencies like Indian children making mud pies. Because, in the end, that one sometimes subtle, sometimes obvious quirk placed inside each story is a most appealing quirk. http://www.thehindu.com/books/books-reviews/creepy-tales/article4679609.ece ~Avelino
[Goanet] renunciation ani Goa's present 'dual nationality' confusao.
The following is posted merely for the purposes of ACADEMIC information ONLY. It follows my previous response to the Eugene Correia Goanet post which contained unsupported / unsupportable assertions. Correia is IMHO (based on his post) under the distinct misconception that Pre1961 Goans lost their Portuguese nationality just because India conferred citizenship on Goans. No Sirrie! It possibly could have been implied so IF a distinct choice was given in an independently conducted referendum In 1962. The 1967 Opinion Poll, often thrown in as a red herring, has NO legal effect on the matter. In the recent and not so recent past, I have been unsuccessful in convincing my learned Goan friends about this. I'd add here that: IF the Referendum had taken place - the present 'dual citizenship' confusion as well as the recurrent Niz 'rants' could and possibly would have been avoidable. Unfortunately ... ! But then, if not for Confusao, how else would Advogados make their dineiros? jc PN: while I might accept some knowledge of law esp Medical Law, I make no claim to any level of expertise in nationality/constitutional law.

[Goanet] Is the Resurrection only a metaphor?
http://www.ucanindia.in/news/suggestion-that-the-resurrection-is-only-a-metaphor-sparks-anglican-uproar/20902/daily Suggestion that the resurrection is only a metaphor sparks Anglican uproar Letter to the Church Times opens a heated debate. Posted on May 6, 2013, 12:32 PM There has been a fine old spat in the Church Times over a letter from a reader who suggests that the Resurrection of Jesus was nothing to do with his body, which remained dead, but that it meant, for the disciples, that “he was still with them in spirit”. The reader, Antony Alexander, was prompted by an article in the paper which observed that resurrection was something “that happens to a body, the body of Jesus in the tomb”. “Such doctrines certainly bear the imprimatur of hoary antiquity,” Mr Alexander responded, “but are they acceptable to a modern generation that has spent years studying science and the laws of nature at school?” He then sketched out a scenario in which the disciples contemplated the fact that “their beloved Leader had been crucified and was no more. They then began to realise, however, that the reality of Christ was spiritual.” He was “still with them in spirit as much as he had ever been”. The following week, Edward Nugee, a barrister, wrote to say that “unless one is going to discard the whole of the first few chapters of Acts and much of Paul, it is obvious that on the first Easter Day, Jesus made it clear beyond argument that he was alive.” On the same page, Canon R H W Arguile remembered that “a former colleague, now a Roman Catholic priest, told me of his shock when he discovered, as a curate, that his vicar meant by 'Christ is risen’, very much the same as saying 'Che lives’.” It is not as though no one had thought of the “spiritual” sense of the Resurrection before. There was a good deal of this sort of thing a century ago. But it is far more interesting to see how such ideas were dealt with much nearer the time of Jesus. About the year 110 there were plenty of people around who had spoken to Jesus’s disciples. One of them was Ignatius, bishop of Antioch, today just in Turkey, near the border with war-torn Syria. He was condemned to die in Rome, and, with his mind suitably concentrated, wrote seven short letters on his journey to meet the beasts that would tear him apart. In his letter to the people of Smyrna, Ignatius declared that Jesus “after his resurrection was still possessed of flesh, and I believe that he is so now”. Ignatius quoted Jesus’s words after his Resurrection (depicted, above, by Piero della Francesca, in about 1465), as reported in the Gospel of Luke: “Lay hold, handle me, and see that I am not an incorporeal spirit.” Naturally, someone today who thinks it wrong to believe in the bodily resurrection may refuse to believe in the veracity of the Gospel accounts. But the earliest generations of Christians, like Ignatius and his friend Polycarp, and the next generation, Irenaeus and his contemporaries, did believe that the Gospel accounts were true. In any case, they accepted the evidence of the disciples, who had been alive a generation or two earlier. For Ignatius, quite a lot rode on the question of whether Jesus had risen again in the flesh. His own body was soon to be ground up by the teeth of lions, like wheat, as he wrote. If Jesus had not risen in the flesh, what hope had Ignatius? If all of Ignatius that was to survive was his “spirit”, then it could neither see nor hear, neither imagine anything nor have any emotions. These all depended on his body rising again. If God could not bring about the resurrection of Jesus, his Son, the rest of us would have little chance. If Jesus’s human soul alone survived his death, that wouldn’t be much help. If the spirit that survived his death was God in heaven, well, he was there before ever Jesus was born in Bethlehem. It’s Jesus alive as a whole human being, body and spirit, who offers hope. A phrase in the Creed that Christians say each Sunday states that they believe in “the resurrection of the dead”, indeed look forward to it. Perhaps some skate over it. But it is the only way that in the course of time they will be able to follow Jesus. Source: Telegraph ===

[Goanet] Training Matters: What young journalists need to succeed
Training Matters: What young journalists need to succeed by Tom Thomson, last updated on May 3, 2013 Journalism is an intensely and increasingly competitive business at all levels, not least in finding a first job. Qualifications are a key tool, along with a proven interest in the media business, such as editorship of a school or university newspaper or web site, or work experience on a local newspaper. A good first degree is invaluable, ideally of some relevance such as politics, economics or business. For those with international aspirations, languages open many doors, particularly those more rarely studied such as Arabic or Chinese. But core journalistic skills are the foundation whether in print or digital media: shorthand, law and good writing ability. Employers want proof of these practical abilities, and an NCTJ-accredited course has particular appeal as a nationally recognised and consistent qualification. It is very difficult for employers to assess the quality of qualifications from non-NCTJ courses. Increasingly, employers also look for multimedia skills such as photography or video shooting and editing, and a real understanding of the use and potential of social media. Some of this can be self-taught, but they are increasingly important in having an edge in the new-starter job market. Shorthand, to a very high standard, is particularly valued and singles out a determined candidate from those with less commitment to the business. It becomes particularly important as the industry moves to real-time reporting for digital outlets and fast, accurate note-taking becomes absolutely critical. Learning shorthand can be tedious, but the time to do it is during a journalism course. When you have a job is usually too late, given the competing demands on time. Aspiring journalists have a rare and exciting opportunity in the next few years to enter an industry undergoing a true revolution. That adds another personal attribute that employers look for: flexibility and a genuine appetite for change as digital audiences grow, and devices like tablets and smartphones evolve at an amazing pace with a consequent impact on journalism.

Employers want proof of these practical abilities, and an NCTJ-accredited course has particular appeal as a nationally recognised and consistent qualification. It is very difficult for employers to assess the quality of qualifications from non-NCTJ courses. Increasingly, employers also look for multimedia skills such as photography or video shooting and editing, and a real understanding of the use and potential of social media. Some of this can be self-taught, but they are increasingly important in having an edge in the new-starter job market. Shorthand, to a very high standard, is particularly valued and singles out a determined candidate from those with less commitment to the business. It becomes particularly important as the industry moves to real-time reporting for digital outlets and fast, accurate note-taking becomes absolutely critical. Learning shorthand can be tedious, but the time to do it is during a journalism course. When you have a job is usually too late, given the competing demands on time. Aspiring journalists have a rare and exciting opportunity in the next few years to enter an industry undergoing a true revolution. That adds another personal attribute that employers look for: flexibility and a genuine appetite for change as digital audiences grow, and devices like tablets and smartphones evolve at an amazing pace with a consequent impact on journalism.
