[Goanet] A Tribute to Mickey Correa, great Goan jazzman

[Frederick Noronha]

MICKEY CORREIA, the great Goan jazzman, would have been 98 years old today
-- 26th Sept 2011 - but breathed his last on 22nd Sept . The legendary
musician from Moira in North Goa (India), regaled audiences in Karachi,
Mumbai and elsewhere. The Mombasa-born superb reedman played alongside
music greats like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck and others.
His longest innings lasted from 1930 to 1960 as Taj Mahal Hotel's band
leader in residence in Mumbai. The video clip is from Joel D'Souza's
personal video-lib, recorded at the residence of Patricia, Mickey's
daughter, at Dona Paula, Goa, sometime in 2005. Popular cartoonist Alexyz
too joined in the conversation.

[Goanet] What is China up to?

[Roland Francis]

Regarding Eric's link to the petro-yuan article, China is now the fox in the 
world's hen house.

The fox has a stake in living in the neighbourhood so it doesn't want to be 
shot down. The game is just to take a chicken or two until there are no more 
chickens left.

The US is China's biggest threat so it will continue to undermine it in various 
ways. They have no intention of bringing the US to its knees, as that may 
trigger a world economic collapse and that is no better for China than it would 
be for America or for China's other trading partners.

All China wants to do it weaken the US to the point where it is driven to 
distraction, can no longer exert hegemony and cannot dictate terms to everybody 
else. Even at that stage, China has no intention of stepping into the 
leadership breach, for that means it will have to acquire the responsibilities 
of a world power and come to the point where one day it too will be weakened.

If you want to know what I mean, see China's role in US's North Korea problem. 
China can stop NK's pesky-ness with the snap of a finger, but why should it 
when NK serves the role of a China agent? The US cannot attack NK without a 
Chinese nod, which will never come.  So meanwhile Trump can get frustrated all 
he wants.

Referring to my previous article, if China takes the lead in eliminating 
Gasoline and Diesel needs, it will snatch the US and Saudi Arabia's preeminence 
in one of the world's most important economic drivers.

Eric's post says:
China is taking the next big step towards dethroning the dollar’s place as the 
number one reserve currency around the world. But the strategy behind this big 
move could send gold soaring. International oil trade is the crux of the issue. 
For decades, the world’s largest oil importers have paid for oil using the 
petrodollar, which supports the dollar’s value and fuels U.S. government 
deficit spending (primarily because the petrodollar is backed by Treasuries).

Libia Lobo Sardesai: India: 70 years of independence
14 Aug. 2017: The National (Dubai). India has undoubtedly achieved much
since breaking free of the British. But it has still not fulfilled its
essential duty of uniting its citizens… Libia Lobo Sardesai, 91, now lives
in Goa, but in 1947, she was at university in Bombay. Her father was away
working in Kenya … “In Bombay, we lived in Dhobi Talao … There were three
days of grand celebrations for independence… Our family always thought we
belonged in Goa, not in Bombay… I became a freedom-fighter. On the day Goa
was liberated I was the one who made the announcement on radio. That very
day also, I moved back to Goa… In retrospect, I feel that Goa was more
beautiful when it was undeveloped. I’m quite disillusioned with what has
happened since then…
https://www.thenational.ae/world/asia/india-70-years-of-independence-1.619751

Video: BBC. Libia Lobo Sardesai, who ran the Voice of Freedom radio station
in Goa, was part of the political struggle to win independence. She tells
of the "intoxicating" feeling of winning freedom at last… 4m. 11s

[Goanet] For The Gulf Emirates 'End Is Nigh'

[Roland Francis]

Suddenly it has come upon us. The emergence of battery charged, electric-driven 
engines started some time ago, but with the emerging presence and help of 
Artificial Intelligence, major changes are suddenly visible.

China announces that in the next couple of years it will no longer make 
gasoline or Diesel engines anywhere in the country. This is followed by news 
that car manufacturers in Europe have their own, if later deadlines.

The writing is on the wall. Soon the technology for replacing fuels for marine 
and aviation engines will follow and after that it will be a matter of time, 
all within this generation, that the mid-east oilfields will no longer be able 
to sell what they produce in the quantities they are used to.

A lot will happen before that occurs. The Goan diaspora in the Persian Gulf 
will melt and hopefully be replaced in their settlement with alternate 
destinations. 

Aden, Abadan, Bahrain and Basra were replaced by Beira, Luanda, Dar-es-Salaam, 
Nairobi and Kampala, which were in turn disfavoured for Abu Dhabi, Dhahran, 
Dubai, Doha and Muscat. Slowly a part of that melted into Auckland London, 
Perth and Toronto.

What are the next Goan expatriate destinations or have the last frontiers been 
already populated?

[Goanet] China to set its own petro currency

[eric pinto]

 

  China is taking the next big step towards dethroning the dollar’s place as 
the number one reserve currency around the world. But the strategy behind this 
big move could send gold soaring. International oil trade is the crux of the 
issue. For decades, the world’s largest oil importers have paid for oil using 
the petrodollar, which supports the dollar’s value and fuels U.S. government 
deficit spending (primarily because the petrodollar is backed by Treasuries). 
But now, China is looking to upset the current petrodollar system by 
introducing gold-backed “petroyuan” oil futures contracts. And since China is 
the largest importer of oil globally, this massive shift away from the 
petrodollar could be bad news for the U.S. But it could be great news for gold 
owners. Here’s why…
Building the Petroyuan
 In June, China took the first step towards overturning the petrodollar by 
establishing a direct-trade relationship with Russia allowing for oil purchases 
to be made strictly in yuan. And just like that, the petroyuan was born. Not 
long after China’s new deal with Russia, Chinese officials began negotiations 
for a similar agreement with Saudi Arabia. But the discussion didn’t flow as 
smoothly as it did with Russia. That’s why China is taking things one step 
further with these new gold-backed futures contracts…
Gold Solves Petroyuan Concerns
 Russia welcomed the petroyuan with open arms. But other big oil exporters 
haven’t been as keen to embrace it. Despite rising concerns around the U.S. 
dollar’s stability and viability, the yuan is still too illiquid and 
unestablished globally in comparison, causing many exporters to shy away from 
accepting it. But China has an ingenious way to solve this problem: Simply back 
the petroyuan with gold. By introducing these new petroyuan oil futures 
contracts that are convertible to gold, China is effectively negating 
exporters’ fears of accepting the yuan as trade payment. Gold holds a 
significant draw for exporters over the yuan alone, and these new contracts are 
opening the door for the petrodollar to be overturned… permanently
Good News & Bad News
 Depending on how your savings are invested, China’s new gold-backed petroyuan 
futures contracts could either be good news or bad news. Let’s get the bad news 
over with first… With major oil exporters finally having a viable way to 
circumvent the petrodollar system, the U.S. economy could soon encounter 
severely troubled waters. First of all, the dollar’s value depends massively on 
its use as an oil trade vehicle. When that goes away, we will likely see a 
strong and steady decline in the dollar’s value. Second, the U.S. government 
relies heavily on the geopolitical bargaining power and benefits provided by 
the petrodollar system. Since the petrodollar is backed by Treasuries, the 
federal government depends heavily on it to fund deficit spending. Without the 
monetary support of the petrodollar, the U.S. government could soon find itself 
shouldering an even bigger debt burden than it already is (not to mention 
lawmakers’ current budgetary struggles and the approaching need for another 
debt ceiling increase). But there are still very good news… While the dollar 
and U.S. government brace for the crushing impact of China’s new game-changing 
oil trade instrument, there’s one asset that could benefit handsomely from this 
situation, and that’s physical gold. For the first time since our nation 
abandoned the gold standard decades ago, physical gold is being reintroduced to 
the global monetary system in a major way. That alone is incredibly good news 
for gold owners. But that’s not all… Think of it like this: Given the choice 
between trading in something backed by Treasuries (which can be created at-will 
from nothing by the U.S. government) or physical gold, what do you think 
exporters will prefer? Not much of a question, the choice for gold-backed 
instruments over Treasury-backed is kind of a no-brainer… As more and more 
nations pile into this new gold-backed oil trade instrument, global demand for 
physical gold will surge, giving gold prices a tremendous upward thrust. All 
this is coming at a time when gold already has several bullish price drivers 
poised to drive it higher… China’s new gold-backed oil futures contracts are 
just icing on the cake.

I am not aware of the role played by Ms Libia Lobo Sardessai and her late 
husband.


I had also heard that the "beeps" broadcast every hour by AIR Delhi, similar to 
the  BBC beeps/pips (Greenwich Mean Time signal), had also previously belonged 
to Emissora de Goa!

Actually, no. Libia and Vaman Sardessai (later ambassador to Angola and
also editor of Goa Today for awhile) play an active role in running the
India-supported 'clandestine' radio station out of near Castle Rock on the
India-side of the then border.

To my knowledge they were not involved with the Panjim radio station,
though Mrs Lobo-Sardessai has somewhere (if I recall right) spoken about
her role in announcing via hlicopter and calling for peace and calm after
the Indian troops moved in.

[Goanet] 'The Goan' daily plagiarises editorials

[Mayabhushan]

'The Goan' plagiarises editorials

Cash-starved 'The Goan' now also appears to be talent-strapped with those
at the helm appearing to plagiarse online content in its editorials.
Below are four editorials published in the newspaper, which appear to be
plagiarised from articles published in the Scroll.in, The Guardian, AP,
Khaleej Times, etc.
The Goan's sports writers appear to be taking a lot of liberty with 'cut
and pasting' from articles published on international websites. Clearly
they set their sights high. Hope people in-charge at the newspaper take
note and stamp this out, before they are stamped out for coming out with a
sensationally poor newspaper, threatening to beat even The Navhind Times at
mediocrity.
