[Goanet] Fwd: FIONA PINTO-DE SOUZA - Persona Grata

2016-09-12 Thread Roland Francis 
Fiona traces her roots to Olaulim, Goa and to Kenya. Leaving behind her
parents, brother and a comfortable home in Nairobi when she finished school
at 18, she left for post-secondary studies in the USA. Her father Felix
Pinto who was a Sydenham College Bombay, B.Com. from the class of the
1950s, had always wanted a good education for both his children. Her mother
Melba was a teacher at St. Mary's in Nairobi and quite a few Kenyan
politicians' sons and students who later became eminent in their own right,
passed  through her class. Melba's cooking skills inherited from her mother
Arminda and  passed to Fiona, were legendary. When the time came, Fiona had
no hesitation in choosing a Graphic Design course of study due to her
natural artistic and creative bent.

Enrolling in the Ivy League Philadelphia College of Arts and Design, she
completed a 4 year undergraduate program and was immediately offered a
position as a Junior Designer by her former professor  who now owned a
creative boutique firm in New York's trendy Manhattan. Fiona was good at
her chosen profession and in the small but powerful world of advertising in
the Big Apple, she became well known in the trade, working with computers
in design which to the rest of the world was still an alien concept.

Growing up in the Goan community in Kenya, among friends (she hardly had
any relatives there), life revolved around the local club. She fondly
remembers the soft skills she learned there with organization, public
speaking, selling and networking, skills that would stand in good stead in
her future business and personal life.

Her father an auditor in the Kenya colonial government's agricultural
department, was later seconded to the Washington DC based  World Bank as
Disbursement Officer in charge of funds for WB's loan portfolio to Kenya
and surrounding African countries. While Fiona was still studying in the
US, her father was diagnosed with cancer, necessitating her return and it
was the start of a nightmarish documentation adventure which she pulled
through thanks to good luck and an understanding Portuguese consul in New
York City. The problems arose with Kenya withdrawing citizenship
arbitrarily to Asians then living outside the country, rendering her
stateless. Since her father had a Portuguese passport, she got into contact
with the local Portuguese official in NYC who gave her an "off-book"
Portuguese passport and helped resolve all complications that arose even
after she returned and until she finally left for Canada.

Fiona saw an opportunity to immigrate to Canada. Computer Graphic Design
was a relatively new profession and with her computer skills acquired in
the American market, she had no problem at all with finding a good job.
Canada to her, would also provide a good future home for her mother and
brother Brian for whom she felt responsible. Brian also graduated from a US
school, fulfilling Felix Pinto's wishes.

In Toronto Fiona's first job was with the giant Canadian insurer Manulife.
She learned about the Canadian marketing and publicity scene and was soon
offered a position in Dynamic Mutual Funds then an important and
high-profile part of Ned Goodman's diversified financial interests. Goodman
was a well known and respected Bay Street titan and also owned Kinross, a
gold mining company. Fiona earned her spurs with Dynamic's well designed
and eye-catching quarterly financial reports and it was inevitable that she
came to the notice of the big man himself. The group's 200 million dollar
marketing budget was soon recalled from a NY firm and brought under Fiona's
control.

When these challenges soon dulled, she took up an offer of starting a
marketing department in a private high net worth wealth management firm
where she continued to impress.

At the time she was new to Canada, Errol Francis was the President of the
G.O.A. and he encouraged Fiona and Brian to actively participate in the
association. That was the start of Fiona's long and faithful service to the
Goan community in Toronto which vigorously continues to date with her
position of Vice-President Administration. Brian also worked hard for the
Association until he died prematurely and recently. At the 25th anniversary
of the founding, Fiona was in the thick of the activities that accompanied
the celebrations. It was then that she met her husband. Ralph de Souza of
Saligao and Tanzania roots, is a mostly quiet unassuming person and a
senior financial executive in the Toronto Catholic Archdiocese office. Like
Fiona, Ralph is devoted to service to the Goan community through the G.O.A.
for many years.

Fiona considered herself fortunate to continue to use her skills under the
succeeding presidency of Al Andrade when the G.O.A. very successfully
participated in Toronto's Caravan festival by putting a Goan face to the
city's diverse community canvas.

I asked Fiona what was her reason for her consistent and loyal tenure in
the G.O.A.

Reminiscing about her early life in Kenya, she

Bull Shit (Part II)

[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RPXkT4uIF9c/V8_TI0EssoI/Bss/XSbCPhNr7O0LrgE6zkYE4OBZ8XCryagjACLcB/s200/Bull%2BShit.jpg]A
 country where eating cow meat is illegal but drinking its urine is alleged to 
be healthy. At the same time BJP MP Dalit leader Udit Raj tweeted suggesting 
that champion Jamaican athlete Usain Bolt went on to win nine Olympics gold 
despite being born in poverty; after his trainer advised him to eat beef twice 
a day. This should be taken seriously by the Government and Sporting Authority 
of India and even consider the womanizing Bolt indulged in along with beef 
consumption, as that could be also the main and only reason of his winning 
medals. This has been even proved by the Nehru genealogy from the time of 
Motilal Nehru where womanizing helped them to ‘run’ government generation after 
generation. Just that Rahul has not yet got it, and feels it will work with the 
hand (symbol of the Congress Party). Even the recent AAP party minister in 
Delhi Sandeep Kumar video sex scandal, will be proven was not a scandal but 
imitating Usain Bolt, that would help in ‘running’ the Government. Cannot 
understand why the AAP party ‘swept’ him out of the party. Indian parties take 
their party symbols extremely seriously, where AAP symbol is a broom so they 
allege to sweep corruption. Mayawati in fact even looks like party symbol, 
which is an elephant.

Usain Bolt should be strongly encouraged to drink his urine as this may help 
him to be the Prime Minister of his country, as ex late Prime Minister Morarji 
Desai used to drink his own urine. So once Usain becomes the Prime Minister of 
his country Jamaica, he can then elevate it out of poverty, and Jamaica would 
be as developed as India. In fact we had one of our Ministers who even asked if 
one should urinate in dams to battle a draught condition in Maharashra. His 
intentions were so noble that he actually wanted all suffering from drought, to 
be leaders like Morarji Desai. Even Baba Ramdev uses cow urine in some of his 
products and his empire business has grown from his ‘half naked’ self to a 5000 
crore company. He has ads to prove that multinational companies who use coal, 
salt and other Indian herbs in their toothpaste is all about ancient Indian 
dental remedy. The multinationals just missed the ‘cow urine’ which is the top 
secret, of Baba Ramdev’s Organization’s success story.

Since the cow is a sacred animal its slaughter (and even consumption) is banned 
in some states of India. In Maharashtra however beef consumption is allowed as 
long as it is brought in from other states. Which means the cow which is sacred 
in Maharashtra suddenly loses it holy status, if it is imported from another 
state. Untouchability amongst humans which was practiced in India in medieval 
times is now practiced with cows, just that it in Maharashtra one can touch the 
cow to worship it and not eat it. The largest hit community with the beef ban, 
in Maharashtra community has been the Qureshi community who livelihood was on 
cow slaughter and beef trade. Recently two Qureshi brothers literally 
slaughtered a traffic policeman to death, as the policeman asked for the 
driving license of one of the brothers. Wondering now if the law would now 
treat them leniently, as the policeman was not a cow. India is becoming a land 
of ‘gau rakshaks’ meaning ‘cow protectors’, wondering when it would be a land 
of ‘human protectors’, but then police who are to protect the citizens are 
themselves not safe. Killing in the allegation a family possessed beef at home 
and later it was proven it was not. A passenger in a rickshaw and that too in a 
city like Bombay was questioned if his leather bag was ‘cow hide’. One can’t 
even think of following Mahatma Gandhi in life style of wearing loin cloth and 
sporting wooden footwear, as even Gandhi was assassinated.

If the law can decide what we cannot eat, then what can stop them from deciding 
what we should eat? As some recent reports stated that energy drinks like Red 
Bull contain Bull Sperm. So now, will suddenly another political party or 
health brigade like the moral brigade, decide to pass a law that Indians should 
start consuming Bull Sperm. Then Baba Ramdev’s company may come with a 
concoction of Cow Urine and Bull Sperm and prove it health benefit for Indians. 
Since bull meat is allowed for consumption, soon all who want to eat its meat, 
would have to legally consume everything of it from its urine to sperm and even 
Bull Shit.

[Goanet] Keith Vaz Headlines: Prosecution or Persecution? (Times of India, 9/11/16)

2016-09-12 Thread Bernado Colaco 
British racism against colour is perpetual. There is no chance for defense that 
nitrites is legal in the UK or that he should have eaten the rind of a Parra 
watermelon. Colour is always under the microscope in Britain. In my humble 
opinion Keith became a vadio after befriending  those chaps in Varca. In Goa 
you can get away from these scandals. In the UK one gets a pounding like the 
bombing of Dresden.
BC




A sensationalist media tempest continues about Keith Vaz,
longest-serving UK Member of Parliament of (Goan) Indian origin, after
a questionably legal newspaper sting caught the married father of two
meeting and paying male prostitutes, telling them "I want to have a
good time please" and offering to pay for their drugs. The
consistently disgraceful British press is now hounding the Labour
Party grandee, visibly trying to end his noteworthy, pioneering
career.

Vaz's family, friends and supporters must be shocked and saddened by
this unexpected scandal. But the fact is no crimes were committed.
After he wisely stepped down as chairman of Home Affairs Select
Committee (which is ironically reappraising both drug and prostitution
laws in the UK), any further public interest ends with Vaz's official
statement that "I am genuinely sorry for the hurt and distress that
has been caused by my actions in particular to my wife and children."
Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has correctly confirmed "he hasn't
committed any crime...it is a private matter."

Mumbai:

The Catholic Bishops' Conference of India has expressed "heartfelt sorrow" on 
the death of George Menezes, former president of All India Catholic Union, 
calling him a "courageous and illustrious" son of the Church.

The 87-year old Mumbai Catholic died of age-related illness on Sept. 10 in 
Mumbai. Funeral services were conducted on Sunday in Bandra,where he lived with 
his family.

He was president of Catholic Union for four years from 1986.

Bishop Theodore Mascarenhas, secretary general of the Indian bishops' 
conference, remembered him as a "prominent Journalist, award winning writer and 
an inspirational speaker" in a statement issued on Saturday.

"He loved the Church with all his heart. He rendered services as a member of 
the Pontifical Council for Laity, a member of the "think thank" of Federation 
of Asian Bishops' Conferences, besides taking up several leadership roles in 
Indian Church, the statement said.

"We might have not always agreed with what he said but we were absolutely sure 
that he loved the Church and wanted the Church to love and be loved," Bishop 
Mascarenhas said offering condolences and prayers.

Menezes joined Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party at the invitation of 
former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee's and become a member of its 
National Executive while he was still a Member of the Pontifical Council for 
the Laity.

He justified his decision to join BJP saying his strength for it came from Pope 
John Paul II's words that "it was better to build bridges than to build walls."

He resigned from the party in 1992 after the party engaged in supporting crowd 
of Hindu volunteers, who demolished the 16th disputed Mosque Ayodhya, leading 
to country-wide Hindu Msulim riots.

"His short stint in politics ended with a hard hitting open letter" to party 
leader L. K. Advani "lamenting the way things were being dealt with," Bishop 
Mascarenhas said in the statement.

He also served India as an Indian Air Force officer and was a diplomat with the 
Indian Embassy in Paris.

His former colloquies in the Catholic union remembered the leader as "a 
powerful personality who had the courage to take on the system and fight for 
rights of the laity and the minorities."

Mumbai:

Caritas India partners in Maharashtra took the resolution to work with greater 
vigour for helping communities achieve self-reliance in agriculture.

The Diocesan Social Service Societies (DSSSs) also decided to intensify their 
community mobilisation efforts so that more grassroots-level movements could be 
generated for addressing local issues.

The decisions were taken in the 3-day review-cum-reflection workshop of JEEVAN 
People-Led Empowerment (PLE) cluster programme that concluded in Mumbai on 7 
September 7.

Caritas India is supporting nine DSSSs of Maharashtra in implementing PLE in 
the sectors of sustainable agriculture, good governance and tribal identity. 
JEEVAN seeks to organise communities around issues and participate more 
meaningfully in the local self-governance processes.

Ms. Benazir Lobo, country Head of Dialogue and Partnership Services of 
Misereor, while addressing the reflection meeting lauded the contributions of 
partners in strengthening the voices of communities. "The impressive number of 
collective actions of communities is an evidence of the empowerment that is 
happening in villages. Partners' clarity on people's empowerment is appreciable 
and their commitment to sustaining the empowering processes is praiseworthy," 
she added.

The partners presented 65 collective actions of communities in the spheres of 
good governance, reviving traditional agriculture systems, eradication of 
social evils and creating community assets.

Partners, during the reflection meeting, observed that farmers have lost 
control over agriculture to exploitative markets. Communities need to launch 
concerted and persistent efforts for recouping the control that they had on 
agriculture.

Caritas India partners decided to initiate reflection processes among farmers 
so that they can understand their dependency on market and develop local 
strategies for freeing themselves from the clutches of market.

Accounts of several people's campaigns were shared during the review meeting. 
These included convening special Gram Sabha meetings by communities, agitations 
against alcoholism, revival of traditional art forms, women organising special 
Gram Sabha meetings with police protection, collective action for the 
construction of roads and massive water absorption trenches, collective farming 
and people's campaign for cleanliness and fighting social evils.

Ms. Lobo later released a compilation of the impact stories of people's 
campaigns.

[Goanet] Discrimination of bald men of colour continues

2016-09-12 Thread George Pinto 
Azevedo Audio Specialists (from Anjuna Beach) have carefully listened to the 
Keith Vaz tape and confirmed the recording says "rent a buoy" and "bring the 
paupers", presumably referring to Vaz's humanitarian immigration efforts as 
Home Secretary of settling poor migrants who put their lives on the line 
crossing the high seas, many of whom have tragically drowned.  Most Goans will 
recall the same audio specialists confirmed an enhanced audio tape revealed 
that Neil Armstrong said "one small step for a Goan, one giant leap for 
mankind".



Clearly our Goan journalists who are almost always right, have missed the boat 
(bouy - got it?).  Instead of obfuscating and playing the race card, the victim 
card, and the legal card, they have missed the real discrimination perpetuated 
by the UK press - discriminating against bald men of colour. Had they done 
their homework, they would have realized that Keith Vaz was not accused of any 
scandal twenty years ago when he had a head full of hair. Start to lose hair 
and the scandals started. Instead we are told in the good & no-nonsense days of 
the 5th century Hindutva, paradise existed. Why? because in those good old 
days, all men had hair and the UK press had no scandal to cover then.
Forget character, Keith Vaz should get a wig and his scandals will go away.
So now you know the truth.

9/11 Portraits in grief: Bernard Mascarenhas

Bernard Mascarenhas, who was at the World Trade Center when the planes
struck 10 years ago, is remembered for his kindness, his modesty, his
intelligence.


By LESLIE SCRIVENER
Wed., Aug. 31, 2011

His friends remember Bernard Mascarenhas in the small gestures. In Toronto:
taking a junior colleague to her first business lunch, at Hy’s Steakhouse.
In Karachi: buying a Coke for a school friend who couldn’t afford one
himself.

Sometimes his kindness was more than a gesture. It was grand.

Brussels: he flew there to comfort his co-worker, Marc Vanderstichelen,
when his 23-year-old daughter died.

He was also modest.

“We grew up together in the old country,” Francis Misquita says from
Edmonton. They were Goans living in Pakistan. Their friendship spanned 35
years. “We called him Bonny,” he says.

Mascarenhas was the smart one in their group. “If we wanted help in math
and science, he was the go to person for us.”

Mascarenhas became a success — not that he would boast. “We came from the
same background, computers. But he would never disclose the high level at
which he worked. The humility, that was quite the striking thing.”

A father of two who lived in Newmarket, he was chief information officer
for Marsh Canada in Toronto and was fatefully at a meeting at the World
Trade Center on Sept. 11.

He was loved.

By his children, who could tease him about his mid-life obsession with
bridge. “How anyone got any work done in Marsh with dad continually asking
them questions always amazed me,” Sven, now a lawyer, said at his father’s
memorial service at St. Michael’s Cathedral.

By his co-workers, who 10 years on write online memorials as if their
hearts were still raw.

“I know I never told this to you — but you have played a significant
influence on who I have become,” Craig Hayashi wrote. “For that I am a
better person. . .”

[Goanet] The wail and veil of mourning . . .

2016-09-12 Thread Dom Martin 
Death is an awful thought, lachrymose indeed! There is no coming out of life 
alive. Thats the inevitable fact. However, there is apparently an 
ongoing, doted dearth in etiquette when it comes to mourning. A single death 
amongst the elite and royalty is a tragedy. A million deaths amongst the common 
and sundry remains a glaucoma of statistics, in-compassionately unaccountable. 
On the other hand, if every death were to be a resounding wail, we might be 
petrified to reincarnate or would solicit a blessed deafness to its unbearable 
cacophony! Dom Martin

WE ARE 30 PERCENT BETTER THAN WHAT WE WERE, INSISTS NICOLAI

*By Nilanjan Datta,*
*AIFF Media Team*



*NEW DELHI: *The U-16 National Team Head Coach says courtesy the exposure
Tours, his boys are 30 percent better than what they used to be. He
stresses that the boys have ‘coming up with promising performances and it’s
not just by accident.’



In this second part of the exclusive interview with www.the-aiff.com,
Nicolai speaks at length about the exposure tours, difficulty in getting to
play International youth Teams in Europe, future Tournaments, the help from
AIFF and SAI. *EXCERPTS:*



*(The concluding part of the three series interview would be published
on www.the-aiff.com  on Tuesday -- September 13,
2016).*



*How has the exposure tours shaped the boys?*



We are 30 percent better than what we were. The quality of the matches
played during the exposure Tours are at an entirely different level. The
boys came up with promising performances and it didn’t happen by accident;
rather it pointed to the fact that the boys have potential to compete at
the top level. It is always there.



*Some of your critics feel you have mostly played Club matches and not much
against International Youth Teams.*



If I can get International Youth matches every Wednesday and Saturday I
would have certainly played. That’s a dream and not a reality as it is
impossible to reach such a situation.



*Why is that?*



One needs to understand that the National Youth Teams in Europe may not be
staying together all the time. In the Europe, they play regularly for their
respective Clubs rather than assembling all round the year for the National
Youth Team. The system caters more to the Club structure than anything else.



In Europe, they need to cater to their education in the respective Schools
and there are many logistical hindrances. Hence, we find it best to play
the Clubs as it’s there where all the best talent is available.



However, if anyone from those critics is willing to sponsor or fix me a
match, I would gladly take it and thank him for his efforts.



*Are any matches against International Youth Teams lined up?*



As part of our final preparation which kicks-off from April 1 (2017), we
would be playing more International Youth Teams on a regular basis. We have
been invited to play a Tournament in Brazil where we will be playing the
Uruguayan National Youth Team.



*Any other Tournament?*



We are also scheduled to play in the Valentin Granatkin Cup in Russia where
we get the chance to test ourselves against European National Teams who
would be fielding 1999 born boys (The eligibility for the India U-16 World
Cup Team is for boys born on or after 01.01.2000). Can you imagine the
quality and intensity against which we would be testing ourselves?



*How much of a help has All India Football Federation been?*



I am extremely grateful that the AIFF top brass has been very cooperative
allowing me do plan all the preparation. I also need to thank the Sports
Authority of India for all their help without which we just couldn’t have
ventured abroad.



*The concluding part of the three series interview would be published
on www.the-aiff.com  on Tuesday (September 13,
2016).*
