[Goanet] Shame! Shame!

2020-06-29 Thread Roland Francis
It’s a pity that the USA is being dragged into the mire by a President that too 
many are still supporting.

(CNN) - In hundreds of highly classified phone calls with foreign heads of 
state, President Donald Trump was so consistently unprepared for discussion of 
serious issues, so often outplayed in his conversations with powerful leaders 
like Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Erdogan, and 
so abusive to leaders of America's principal allies, that the calls helped 
convince some senior US officials -- including his former secretaries of state 
and defense, two national security advisers and his longest-serving chief of 
staff -- that the President himself posed a danger to the national security of 
the United States, according to White House and intelligence officials 
intimately familiar with the contents of the conversations.

[Goanet] Racism, Religion and Science All Lives matter Seeking Response

2020-06-29 Thread Adolfo Mascarenhas
*INTRODUCTION  PART SIX*\

I will only return to the Bible especially the Old Testament right towards
the end.

This is all about Science and Evolution .. Lets start about our animal
relatives . This is all about our different relatives called monkeys, Apes,
Baboons, Chimps etc

::: There is an unmitigated brashness.  Knowledgeable Tanzanians are proud
of a British born, Jane Goodall who came as a teenager to help the Leakeys
who were working in the Olduvai Gorge…in the vast Ngorongoro Crater. In the
fine ash that rained down, a woman and her child left prints..poor she, she
was probably suffering from Arthritis:::


PART A ENTER  *PROFESSOR. JANE GOODALL*Jane Goodall for several decades
has her own Natural Laboratory and camp studying our (by ours I am
including Goans even if you live in Surrey or LA or Auckland or Quebec,
Zanzibar)  Her work is so remarkable.  Indeed in December 2019 a group of
Scientist from all over the world petitioned to Nobel Headquarters in
Norway” Saying she deserved to be recognized. She is one year older than I
am, her step daughter in law worked as staff of BRALUP at the UDSM.  Prof
Ian Bryeson, her step son is now a full Professor in Bergen and a Prolific
writer in Marine Biology  \\


*PART A (ii) *BREAKINGS FROM DISCIPLINARY BIAS Jane Goodall was renowned
for her work with chimpanzees and as a CHAMPION OF ANIMAL RIGHTS. And
Goodall wasn’t just working in a lab; she climbed trees and mimicked the
behavior of chimps in Tanzania TO GAIN THEIR TRUST AND STUDY THEM IN THEIR
NATURAL HABITAT.: Foot note 1::
 :Let Guide you fellows about our relatives. Just like you have Asians
and Caucasions or Eskimos or the San people in the Kalhari (oh yes time to
remind the Govt of the RSA  about my Keynote Address on Local Knowledge)…so
too our relatives  There are 13 stages and key technologies



1)  Earlier apes

 2 Gorilla

3) Possibly bipedal 
4) Chimpanzee split


5)  Earliest bipedal

 6)  Stone tools
  7)  Exit
from Africa

8)  Earliest fire use



9)   Earliest cooking   10)

  11)Modern
humans 



Modern meaning all human including Kim, Trump, Modi Wagoas of Tanzania, and
the Wagogo of Central Tanzania, Queen Victoria, Churchill. Martin Luther
King, all  Goan Brahmins etc etc.



 Jane Goodall reminds us that in her Laboratory she has learnt, that
the Chimps, can Communicate. Mother Chimps do look after the little one and
actually bond and they can be sad or happy:::

2020-06-29 Thread Roland Francis
I enjoyed reading about orchata.

During early days in Canada and longing for the treat of which I had pleasant 
memories of drinking in Goa, I found a few stores selling it, either Lebanese 
or Italian, some labeling it as ‘Orgeat’. The Portuguese stores just didn’t 
have it. Being a concentrate, all you had to do was add carbonated water to one 
and a half ounces and you would get a drink exactly like you did in 1960s Goa, 
only fizzier.

It is very difficult to get now as the demand in Toronto has ebbed with its 
high sugar content and all.

So if you Madam ever think of sending your home-made batch of it to this city, 
I will be your first and lasting customer.

drink in Goa itself

By Eunice Lima Fernandes De Sa

For me, it was not the great nutritional value of almonds
(omega 3 fatty acids, proteins, fibres, Vit E) or its health
benefits, like being antioxidant, lowering blood sugars,
cholesterol, pressure or helping in skin tone, that attracted
me to this almond drink called Orchata.  It has always been
the taste.

I have loved it as my summer cooler, winter warmer, as a
teenager, nursing mother, and now as a senior.

  Being in the field of education, I always felt the
  need to encourage in my students the love for
  home-made foods and beverages.  Having discouraged
  in them the consumption of fizzy and aerated
  drinks, I had no other choice but to experiment
  with yummy and healthy beverage solutions...what
  a better way than to introduce them to that which we
  enjoyed as kids?  At home, I was always ensured
  that milk went smoothly down the throat when
  accompanied by Orchata.

It was easily available in some of the outlets of the
yesteryears -- Capuccina and Loja Agni in Panjim.  A
production of the Family of Coelhos, along with Xarope de
Brindao, it used to be very popular.

Unfortunately, it went out of market in the late 1990s.

Longing for it, I had no option but venture to make it.  My
first guinea-pig was my mother, and she couldn't tell what it
was.  But later it passed a sibling test and I began gifting
it to family and friends.

Having no recipes as such to lean on, and depending only on
my taste buds, after 13 odd years of working on it, I can say
that I have achieved the perfect taste which *my* preparation
of Orchata has to have.

It's been years, and we all love Orchata in the family.  This
year, my daughter-in-law Efigenia decided to share it with a
wider circle.

During the 1960s, our food and drink had a strong influence
of the Portuguese cuisine.  In fact, I lived in Fontainhas
and had Portuguese families as neighbours at the side and
front of my house.

  I remember growing up eating manteiga Dinamarquesa
  -- butter from Denmark, bacalhao and chourico de
  reino from Portugal, cabidel do Patto, feizoada,
  sarapatel, great fish and prawns from Chorao (my
  village).  Also picking up my own beans from the
  field.  Freshly picked, boiled and eaten...  all
  ingredients for great memories.

Bebinca, bolo sans rival, fios de ovos, dedos de dama, bolo
de mil folhas are sweet memories too.  Some still exist and
are popular even today.

We belong to a generation that has seen and eaten tasty.  We
had enough but never too much, so we used the resources at
hand, be it fruit, vegetables, the sun, etc.  Food and
preservation have evolved around our seasonal resources.

Living on the scenic banks of the River Mandovi, in Ribandar,
just across Chorao and 10 minutes from Panjim, I think of the
good simple times.

When I retired and heard parents complaining about children
having fizzy drinks and not wanting to drink milk, I thought
it time to introduce them to Orchata, xarope de brindao, aam
panna, lime juice, etc., all made from seasonal fruits and
with great health benefits.

It worked!  The fall-out benefit was that I was able to
salvage the neglected kokum (also called the bin'na), the
green mangies from a fallen branch etc.  Also the pulp
inspired me to make jams and pickles, since they have great
antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

  As we reached out to more people with our summer
  coolers, we realise that they were waiting for the
  taste of Orchata.  I'm

[Goanet] WASTE OF JUDICIAL TIME MUST BE CURBED

2020-06-29 Thread Aires Rodrigues
When the Police or any law enforcement authority files a charge sheet or
report before any Court the issue of summons to the alleged accused or
offender can never be mechanical.

The law requires the Judge to peruse what has been filed before the Court
and whether there is a prima facie case and has to also ascertain if the
charge sheet or report filed is in accordance and consonance with law.

If this exercise as mandated by law is complied with, many cases which
should not have landed in the Courts would be weeded out at the threshold.
It would save the pile up and not waste precious judicial time. It is high
time the High Court issues directions to this effect to all the subordinate
Courts to follow the mandate of the well settled principles of law so that
only those requiring trial are continued thus ensuring that precious
judicial time of courts is not wasted on matters which patently will not be
able to stand the test of trial.

the Subject: [Goanet] Is Class Or Race The Real Culprit In Brazil
yes rightly pointed out: ?Racism is everywhere? - so also in Brazil. But
the differences in Brazil were thought to be mainly class differences, not
racially-based inequities.
Good luck to the  Washington Post seeks to find out whether those ?class
differences? were actually based on racial structures.and
hence  anti-racism protests for Miguel Otavio Santana

WE should ask Why Brazil has become so racist after a white Italian
President decides that in the land of Samba, an exuberant public display of

Africans should be sent awayWhere, who brought them there, do Brazilian

[Goanet] On the track to re-discover Orchata, a health drink from Goa (Eunice Lima Fernandes De Sa)

[Goanet] Book Link: Khazan Ecosystems of Goa

2020-06-29 Thread Albert Peres

https://books.google.ca/books?id=-r_EBAAAQBAJ


Khazan Ecosystems of Goa: Building on Indigenous Solutions to Cope with 
Global Environmental Change


Front Cover
Sangeeta M. Sonak
Springer Science & Business Media, Oct. 1, 2013 - Science - 137 pages
0 Reviews

This book elaborates on the Khazan ecosystems of Goa, India. Khazans are 
human-managed ecosystems, which are reclaimed from coastal wetlands, 
salt marshes and mangrove areas, where tidal influence is regulated 
through a highly structured system of dykes, canals, furrows, and sluice 
gates using resources that are amply available locally.


Khazan ecosystems are marvels of tribal engineering. They are a simple 
architectural design, which operate at a very low running cost using 
tidal, hydro, and solar energy. The design contributes to a highly 
complex but eco-friendly ecosystem integrating agriculture, aquaculture 
and salt panning. .


Khazan ecosystems have been functional for the last 3500 years. The 
history of Khazans is very ancient and can be traced to the transition 
from food gathering to food growing, which has been regarded as the 
biggest step in the history of human civilization. Khazan ecosystems 
thus have a high historical and world heritage value. They are also 
repositories of global biodiversity, with unique flora suitable to their 
unique and highly variable environment. They are endemic and heritage 
ecosystems of Goa and ultimately reservoirs of history and heritage.


Using the example of the Khazan lands, the book analyzes and comments on 
traditional ecological knowledge and indigenous technology. It presents 
the evolution of Khazan management institutions over a period of more 
than three thousand years, as well as factors that have contributed to 
its decline in recent years. It develops a conceptual framework for 
ecosystem performance and suggests strategies for conservation of 
Khazans as well as strategies to build on these indigenous adaptation 
mechanisms to cope with the global environmental change.

It struck me that very few Goan Women contribute in this Forum.  I have
seen an occasional pieceits rare though....very rare. Yet, there
are women authors, reporters  etc .professionals including  lawyers,
doctors, housewives  professors footballers etc   
Two  things struck me about this matter:

 ONE > is there real gender equality in India , in Tanzania, USA
 depends on circumstances ...A woman President of US the A. Britain,
India, Sierra Leone, Norway  yes :::

TWO
A macho fellow in North Anjuna told me a strange story.  He said long
before the Portugese arrived in this great land, there were  Christians
baptized by nol other than the Apostle Thomas. Somehow the story gets a
bit  muddled.  Many especially the Bible quoting guys know the story of
Lots wife turning into a Piillar of Salt.  I asked him why His answer was
that she looked behind at the city :::
I asked him which city :

<<,No>>>

<<< . Perhaps it was Ado or Edith. !!! says I 
<<< Did it really happen, I mean like the Noahs floods?""
 Have you heard of the Dead Sea""
He shook his head and proudly told me that he sailed all over the world
Red Sea, Mediterranean , Arabian Sea, Green ""

This is too much for this Darite of Tz:::L
I decided not to tell him that Edith really wanted the life in the fast
line of SODOM.  There were Harlots galore, fellows who took drugs, gangs

[Goanet] Re. Carmo Mascarenhas - The Lone Viscount

2020-06-29 Thread Linken Fernandes
Hi Francis,

Great stuff about Carm (to use the form of his name that he preferred). I'm
actually listening to the album, Someday Soon, now as I write this post.
(Thanks for the url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GJpWgbgfuQ=84s).
Too soon to comment on it, of course, but the first reaction is delight
that he wrote and put together an entire album by himself. Not too many
Goans playing Western music tend toward original compositions, much less
entire collections of them, and in a niche category at that. One waits to
get hold of the lyrics to be able to form an assessment of Carm's
achievement as a song-writer before his tragic, premature demise. In this
album, though, I would have preferred his vocals leading the music, rather
than the accompanying instruments, particularly the sax, dominate, and, at
places, almost drown them out.
To address Roland Francis's observation (in his post earlier) that the
creators of the website seem to have missed the Goan element in
Matharpacady's heritage, one can, perhaps, excuse them as they come from a
later generation, and most of the Goans who lived there, particularly in
and around Club Lane, have now moved away or on. A few of the clubs too
have shut down for good, now that Bombay is no more a transit, or
migration, point for Goans. (This omission will be remedied, a little, in
my novella, now in the works, which uses my birthplace as a locale. There
is a reference, though, to Matharpakadi, and to Byculla, in my book, The
Sun In Her Hair, published a couple of years ago; a notice of its
publication appeared here, in Goanet, at the time).
There are more objective writers, of course, and local historians (Rafique
Baghdadi, for one) who do mention the presence of Goans whenever they
ponder Matharpacady's history.

[Goanet] JUSTICE FINALLY FOR OUR MILROC LABOURERS

2020-06-29 Thread Aires Rodrigues
Am very grateful to the officers of the Labour Commissioner’s Office due to
whose prompt intervention the workers of our Ribandar Milroc Complex have
finally got some relief in terms of minimum wages and a mandatory weekly
off which they were denied for so many years. This blatant exploitation of
these toiling poor labourers some of whom have been tirelessly caring for
our complex for 20 long years is unforgivable and absolutely unpardonable.

Some of those thugs and bullies in the Managing committee of our complex
also tried to harass and mentally torture our Supermarket owner Motaram
Solanki who with God’s abundant Grace has bounced back with added vigour.
He has been serving our Milroc and Ribandar at large for over two decades
and with all conviction did not succumb to the extortion tactics of these
Cowboys who thought our Milroc was their personal fiefdom. Bravo Motaram,
God is Great

Unusual locust swarming activity in India being blamed on climate changes
