There are no accidents. Everything is synchronicity. Malaysia called me to her and I heeded this call flying to Malaysia in March 2020. Soon enough, lockdown was announced with airports shutdown to international travel. Instead of panicking, I used my time to research, closely acquainted with the locals, and discovered a paradise of food. Thus began my explorations of the rich diversity of Malaysia’s food culture inspired by Asia, India, France, China, and indeed the globe.

And extremely illustrative. You cannot help but to be there with her when you read every word that she writes.* *As a Chef, the body is the temple, as we nourish the body and the soul. As a writer, Ethel nourishes the emotion with her language of love, and her emotions are translated via her own personal experiences with food, with the culture, and the vibrancy of Malaysia.”* *The Stiletto Foodie – A Blog Binge in Malaysia* is available worldwide on
[Goanet] Brazilian Tocata music and Konknni music
Toccata (from Italian toccare, literally, "to touch", with "toccata" being the action of touching) is a virtuoso piece of music typically for a keyboard or plucked string instrument featuring fast-moving, lightly fingered or otherwise virtuosic passages or sections, with or without imitative or fugal interludes, generally emphasizing the dexterity of the performer's fingers. Brazilian musicians adapted this music for their culture and environment. They used accordion and tuba or euphonium as the main instruments. Trumpet, saxophone, trombone, and clarinet used as secondary instruments. This music is played by local musicians in an informal way at homes, open spaces of villages and towns. At times people joined them singing in voices. This lively music united the families of a ward. In the following two videos the local musicians are playing the "Brazilian Tocata" in a home at São Paulo town. We Konknnis are lovers of music. I wish that we learn from these videos to create our own unique and original Konknni music with the fusion of Indian and Western musical instruments and blending nuisances. Mandd Sobhann under the leadership of maestro Eric Ozario has successfully created such a music, mainly to song songs. Yet, more to be done by Konknni musicians to enrich Konknni instrumental music to be accepted and appreciated at the international level. Pratap Naik sj
[Goanet] Adão
Regarding Frederick Noronha´s posting in Vol 16 Issue 23 About 20 years ago I visited Indonesia and was surprised to find Adão fruit trees in Indonesia (Bali, Surabaya). These trees were mostly in around palatial buildings of kings. The locals told me it was a favourite fruit of the kings and sultans. The variety I had a chance to taste there was more light orange coloured when compared to the variety in Goa is more dark brown (mahogany colour). Caqui in Brazil is the word for * Diospyrus **Kaki* a completely different fruit, and should not be confused with* Manikara kauki *a sapotaceae. It could be that the Adão was first introduced in Goa by someone coming from Oceania . Warm regards Carlos Peres da Costa

[Goanet] What I told Dinesh
His Assagao dad was J and J plant manager. He told me in his Peter Dias home in Bandra that we wereSocoll Vaddo kin. Dinesh studied at St. Stanislaus, but his father conducted a 'Christian' church out of his home. He used those contacts to send Dinesh to study at the Liberty College run by a prominent Reverend who wasmore politician than a pastor. That man placed Dinesh in the Reagan White House where his role was Catholic outreach 'coordinator'. That was his early introduction to fraud since he clearly was not raised Catholic. HIs capacity for deceit is a certain yellow flag for a case of impaired personality development. ps My mother is a DSouza.

This led to Dinesh D’Souza having to perform a lot more community service for breaking campaign-finance laws than he thought, with a federal judge saying Monday that D’Souza has to do eight hours each week for the entire five years he’s on probation and not just the eight months he was confined to a halfway house. Defense attorney Ben Brafman clarified the sentence he handed down after D’Souza pleaded guilty last year, which means D’Souza will have to do over 1,600 hours more service than he initially thought. We’re talking about five years of eight hours a week? … This is a very serious impediment to obtaining full-time employment because you miss one day of work a week,” Brafman said in the conference inside Berman’s robing room, as D’Souza listened in silently via speakerphone. “In my mind it was never contemplated that the eight hours only applied to the period of home confinement,” Berman said, later reading out a report from a psychologist who saw D’Souza and then ordering him to continue attending weekly sessions. The psychiatrist wrote. “The client tends to deny problems and is arrogant and intolerant of others’ feelings.” So long as D’Souza stays on track with his community service, he will be allowed to visit his daughter in London and his elderly mom in India later this year (2014), Berman said.

Re: [Goanet] Covid deaths in Portugal
Albert,Brazil's statistics usually messes up everyone's hypothesis on Covid. I took a quick look at the stats from there and they seem to indicate that age still remains a big factor in the survival rates. Here in Texas, thankfully, the hospitals now have more experience in treating victims and survival rates are getting better. However, wrt the belief for the cause and distribution, consensus among the locals - outside urban areas - remains G.

[Goanet] A Misogynistic Culture Brutalises
From a CNN note today: A landmark report out of Ireland reveals thousands of mothers and babies died in church-run institutions known as “mother and baby homes” between 1922 and 1998. Such homes were places where unwed women and girls were sent, often against their will, to deliver their children in secret. In all, around 56,000 people, sometimes as young as 12, were sent to the 18 institutions investigated in the report. One in seven of some 57,000 children born in these institutions didn’t survive long enough to leave. Irish Prime Minister Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the report "opens a window onto a deeply misogynistic culture in Ireland over several decades" and said he is planning an official state apology to survivors.
