I would just like to correct the misinformation circulated below. The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) is a non-profit consumer advocacy organization that provides accurate information about health and nutrition, and seeks to advocate better regulation of foods and nutritional products. Its board consists of many prominent medical professionals and experts on nutrition, such as Dr. David Kessler, past commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Please see the list of names of the board members at this link: http://www.cspinet.org/about/board.html BTW, any of the Goanetters who have an interest in technical and scientific details about this issue and can understand them I can provide the original research papers that were referenced in the article that I provided. Here is the list of those references: 1 Lipids 44: 593, 2009. 2 Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 87: 621, 2008. 3 Nutr. Metab. 6: 31, 2009. 4 Trends Food Sci. Tech. 20: 481, 2009. 5 Am. J. Clin.

[Goanet] What is Virgin Coconut Oil
I saw a report whereby a Alzheimer patient was able to take the clock test successfully after consuming virgem coconut oil. I believe many doctors feel uncomfortable with alternative therapy. BC By Sunetra Talaulikar Virgin coconut oil (VCO), extracted from fresh coconut meat without chemical processes is said to be the mother of all oils. It is rich in medium chain fatty acids, particularly lauric acid and is a treasure trove of minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and is an excellent nutraceutical. It has about 50% lauric acids, having qualities similar to mother's milk, thus confirming its disease-fighting ability. When lauric acid enters human body it gets converted to Monolaurin, which has the ability to enhance immunity. Several studies have confirmed that this compound has the ability to kill viruses including herpes and numerous other bacteria. Its antiviral effect has the ability to considerably reduce the viral load of HIV patients.

Re: [Goanet] What was Mother Teresa's views on conversion

Mother Teresa offered tender, loving care to those most in need, the poorest of the poor, all over the world independently of their race, color, nationality, cast or creed. In each human being, she saw a child of God, created for greater things: to love and to be loved. Respecting this innate value and dignity of each person, she endeavored to bring this love where it was lacking, offering her humble service to whoever was in need, without considering their religious affiliation. Mother Teresa believed that conversion is a work of God and that faith is a gift. She respected every person, including atheists or agnostics, and respected the faith they had or even lacked. Here is a short testimony of someone who was closely associated with Mother Teresa for 23 years: “I am a Hindu and I never saw the slightest evidence in all my 23 years of knowing Mother Teresa in the Missionaries of Charity, of converting. … When I asked her whether she converted, she answered, ‘Yes, I convert. I convert you to be a better Hindu, or a better Muslim, or a better Protestant, or a better Catholic, or a better Parsee, or a better Sikh, or a better Buddhist. And after you have found God, it is for you to do what God wants you to do.’ ” She wanted people to come closer to God (however they understood Him) and believed that in this way they would also come closer to each other, love one another, and ultimately create a world that is better for everyone to live in. The Constitutions of the Missionaries of Charity state: “We shall not impose our Catholic Faith on anyone, but have profound respect for all religions, for it is never lawful for anyone to force others to embrace the Catholic Faith against their conscience.” This reflects the intention of Mother Teresa herself, and the Missionaries of Charity follow in her footsteps.

[Goanet] What MPs want: Companion tickets, loans, phones in their wish list
From: bcsabha.kal...@gmail.com To: http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/what-mps-want-companion-tickets-loans-phones/article1-1288087.aspx Four years ago, the members of Parliament had given themselves a 300% hike in salaries and managed to double their allowances. But that clearly wasn’t enough for them.Now, a parliamentary panel looking into salaries and allowances has put forward to the government a list of 27 perks — from cheap housing loan to official vehicles to guest houses for lawmakers in all state capitals.The wish list also includes a further enhancement in constituency allowance of MPs and salary of their personal assistants.The panel further suggested that MPs should be allowed to travel with “companions” and not just “spouses” in trains. At present, MPs enjoy free first-class train travel anywhere in India with spouse.The joint panel on salaries and allowances of MPs has so far held three meetings since September on these issues but they are still waiting for the Modi government’s response.The panel is headed by BJP MP Yogi Adityanath.Lawmakers have also demanded security for chairpersons of parliamentary panels when they move outside Delhi, MP’s quota in Kendriya Vidyalaya to be at least 15 seats in a year, enhancing MPs local area development (MPLAD) fund and giving diplomatic passport to former MPs.Parliamentarians’ salaries and allowances are changed through amendment in the Salary, Allowances and Pension of Members of Parliament Act. In 2010, the amendment to the MPs’ salaries act hiked their monthly salary from Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 50,000. Their constituency and daily allowances doubled from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 40,000 and Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 2,000 respectively.The panel, however, now wants “study of salary, allowances, TA/DA etc. of MPs of foreign countries for comparison with those existing for MPs in India.” It also sought a permanent executive mechanism to give recommendations on salaries and perks to the MPs from time to time.The NDA government is set to bring a bill to hike the pension for MPs from the current Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 35,000 per month. The bill also plans to enhance the rate of additional pension for each completed year in excess of five years and include divorced or widowed daughters as “dependents” of former MPs for family pension.

[Goanet] What is the priority
What is the priority? Citizens need many facilities, which many be short term or log term.The Govt, in its wisdom has been given mandate to do just that. It does not however mean that the Govt. can ride rough shod in believing what is best for them without gauzing the public pulse or sounding the public. The arrogance of being in power, unanswerable, care two hoots, I know everything attitude and what is best is not justifiable in a Democracy. That is why in a Democracy a vigilant opposition is much essential to keep the treasury benches under check and control, unfortunately both at the centre and in some States, the opposition is badly mauled to be any force and break towards authoritarian streak The case in point is about necessity of bridge at Siroda and another airport at Mopa ,People forget that in their travel journey they cross many towns and villages where people have surrendered their personal preferences and good for a larger benefit and goal. Siroda residents need better connectivity with places in the state, saving time and money to reach their destinations. The bitter objections makes no sense Politicians need controversies as their essential diet to show their existence , feel relevant and be counted more in the public eye to demonstrate their unwarranted interests and concerns to perpetuate their being in corridors of power for entirely selfish reasons .Are the bridges at Talpona, Galgibaga etc given the preference they deserve in fast pacing their age old requirements Two bridges connecting Navelim in Salcette was really needed considering vehement objections be it political or rational after nearly completing one of the bridges at public cost. Is the second Mandovi bridge a burning necessity, when Zuari bridge is almost crumbling and likely to disrupt a vital link between North and South Are broadening of National, State Highways internal roads more important and need to be prioritized? Acquired areas in 1986 are not even cleared of encroachments and lying in limbo. The dangerous bends , curves causing serious and fatal accidents are crying for attention The Govt. is hell bent on pushing through Mopa airport, when there is massive outbursts and opposition from all quarters. It may be a long time need and the experts rather than layman are best suited to decide based on economic and transport needs. The airport, not centrally suited can be a bone of contention considering time to reach, road conditions and costs involved Let ht e roads used by the majorities be a first and urgent priority. When Konkan railway was being built the objections were insurmountable and fierce .We now see how convenient, safe, economic Konkan Railway travel is. It is not susprising the vociferous votaries are using Konkan railway without ever remembering their opposition. Nelson Lopes Chinchinim

[Goanet] WHAT A DISTINCTION!
Goa’s former Director of Prosecution Shobha Dhumaskar has now attained the distinction of being India‘s first former Director of Prosecution to be prosecuted on corruption charges. Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar desperately tried to save her on the most absurd ground that the pecuniary loss she caused to the State exchequer was a mere Rs 61,200. What a sad state of affairs and it could only have happened in Goa where the levels of corruption have peaked and are only further soaring. Will the Chief Minister explain to us what he really means in his much publicized mantra of Zero Tolerance to corruption? Is corruption upto Rs 61,200 acceptable and condonable? At least the law does not differentiate on the quantum of amount involved in a corrupt act. And the law also does not forgive you if you refund the amount you have swindled through a corrupt act.

[Goanet] What does a secretary record in the gram sabha?
At a gram sabha held yesterday, one of the issues of contention was regarding the sarpanch and panchayat not being invited for a football tournament. A resolution was proposed that the club should apologise or else the panchayat ground will not be given for club tournaments. One citizen claimed the invitation was given( but no name was mentioned on the invitation card) and he demanded that this point be recorded as a part the proposed resolution. People need to understand that there are two kinds of minutes of meeting- minutes of discussion and minutes of resolution. The Secretary need not record the minutes of discussion because for a body like the gram sabha, recording every point will be a daunting task for the secretary. Only the resolutions that have been passed need to be recorded. The fault, in this case, lied with the sarpanch who chaired the meeting. He has to put every ammendment for vote- which he didn't. Because of this, one man's claim has been accepted as the voice of the gram sabha. What if someone stood up next and demanded that the secretary note that drugs were sold at the tournament? That would have to be recorded too. Gram sabhas are powerful bodies and therefore require equally responsible people to chair the meetings. Maybe sarpanchs need training in parliamentary procedures before they take up the chair of a gram sabhas.

Additionally, IF there is no breeze and it is hot, a Pankhawalla and his Pankha should be in attendance. (Dancing girls optional).

Only do not write anything on Facebook. Is it not interesting that Goans in 2014 are stuck at this Gram level? They appear to be more concerned about what is being recorded or not than 'supporting' the very reasonable quid pro quo demands of these panchas. jc Partially T-I-C

As I do not understand much about Gold et other investment, I will NOT debate with you on the topic of financial investment. As I am NOT sure if you know enough about whether or NOT these Rivona HIV+ve kids were adequately monitored and managed, I will not debate further with you on that topic either. I'd suggest, however, that there usually is a serious difference between the TB contracted (and transmitted) by an HIV+ve person and that by a non-HIV+ve person. Though, in many parts of the world, India included, that difference is being blurred. BTW: I notice that a BJP personality has chosen to abuse the Church with this HIV issue. BRAVO ! jc
[Goanet] what are the parent`s expectation in educating children?
What are the parent`s expectations? Happines is the primary aim of education, which connotes various other derivatives Only those that are in a happy state of mind , will be able to transmit this trait effectively in their offspring’s. The present generation with all the scientific progress and amenities seemed to be more stressed and depressed in comparison. The time saved on monotonous, routine activities is spent in front of T,V. Hence the ratio of depressed individuals is one in five for women and one in six for men and is very alarming. We make these choices willingly and consciously at most time and hence suffer the consequences. The main focus of the parents is study, scoring and faith in tuitions right from K.G classes. It builds tremendous pressure to excel under all circumstances. There is hardly any time for the children both at school and home to engage in sports and other creative activities. The accent should be on effective concentration, which could two hours daily. ,In stead the students learn to waste time, disinterested , develop hate and aversion with academic pursuits at all times Happiness must spring from within through involvement of creative activities, rather than momentary pleasures What are the parent’s expectations . The basic reason to educate children is to make them happy and which connotes various derivatives. If the parents themselves are not happy individuals in their relationshipsderived by activities from outside (listening to music, T.V. video games, and mobiles) Health is another factor that contributes to happiness. Unfortunately the clamour for junk food has led to the development of life style diseases in children too early in life. like obesity, heart , kidney, blood pressure and diabetes Emphasis on healthy diet is the urgent need. Both the Parents and children need to have regular exercise and permit children to actively engage in sports. Children imbibe the habits from parents The schools too give precedence to academic results more than sports participation in their appreciation, recognition, rewards, Fortunately this mentality is undergoing a sea change with sports achievements given credits Interpersonal relations help to resolve conflicts and problems satisfactorily. Looking beyond ourselves gives a broader perspective and meaning to life. In ability to manage conflicts leads to unhappiness and violent explosion in behaviour. Parents that value, encourage interpersonal relations lay a good foundation, In chasing happiness the satisfied attitude leads to stagnation and hence creative, fulfilling tasks elevate abilities with satisfaction to a new level Finance too has bearing on happiness, Parents slog to meet the un called for demands and satisfy children and as a result have less interaction with them . Happy, confident children are the dream of all parents. To realise it ,they must effectively and actively engage in studies and sports, Healthy diet, health, exercise interpersonal relations and finance, time management can achieve the desired state of happiness, which is the ultimate goal of education Dr Bevinda Viegas Muller is a practicing psychiatrist, a multi faceted personality, a writer, columnist a sports enthusiast.

Sorry, you leave me unconvinced. Here's why: Cecil: I always question myself and my actions, reactions and motivations. It is very easy to do armchair analysis from a distance. It is easy for me to condemn the parents of the Rivona school sitting here in Panjim. What if I was in their place? How would I have reacted if kids living with HIV were admitted in my son's school. I ask myself such questions all the while. Only after asking myself these questions, and sincerely analyzing my reactions, can I then turn the scope on the Rivona parents. And incidentally I passed my own test with flying colours. But yes one must do a lot of introspection before being critical of what others do.

There is no known case of an HIV transmission occurring at school. Virtually all children living with HIV are completely healthy for the majority of their school career. With appropriate treatment and care, they can live a long and healthy life. Children living with HIV have regular clinical check-ups and those that need medication may take it at home once or twice a day. HIV suppresses the immune system so children living with HIV have to take care not to catch childhood illnesses, such as measles or chicken pox as these can have severe health implications for them.
[Goanet] What does your school PTA say about admitting kids with HIV?
Roland Francis: Cecil, I would easily count you one of the cognoscenti when compared to the class that needs education. Cecil: Thanks you for the certification but I consider myself informed and aware rather than 'educated'. Roland: Therefore it is surprising that you mention your doubts on how you yourself would have reacted in a school situation in Panjim, like that of Rivona. I thought education would count for the difference in your behaviour about which there should have been no doubts on the score that children with HIV do not deserve to be shown any difference from those without that condition, period. Cecil: I always question myself and my actions, reactions and motivations. It is very easy to do armchair analysis from a distance. It is easy for me to condemn the parents of the Rivona school sitting here in Panjim. What if I was in their place? How would I have reacted if kids living with HIV were admitted in my son's school. I ask myself such questions all the while. Only after asking myself these questions, and sincerely analyzing my reactions, can I then turn the scope on the Rivona parents. And incidentally I passed my own test with flying colours. But yes one must do a lot of introspection before being critical of what others do. Fore example there are lots of Goans living abroad who are very vocal in Goan cyberspace. Which is good. We can learn from exchanges. But some of them constantly scream in a shrill voice telling us what to do and what not to do. Most of these people have a very vague idea of ground realities here in Goa. These people should also pause and walk a mile in our shoes before screaming their nonsense advice. Roland: And I certainly hope that in your last sentence For our kids and their kids you do not mean for their kids with HIV and our kids without, because it certainly lends itself to that interpretation, when one knows you have skill in wordcraft and all. Cecil: Your interpretation exposes your blinkered understanding of issues. For our kids and their kids is a slogan I have used before when raising funds or awareness for issues related to young people. It is a beautiful phrase that encompasses everyone. Our children, their children, our children's children. Only a convoluted mind could interpret it in the negative way you have. Cheers! ==
[Goanet] What does your school PTA say about admitting kids with HIV?
Let's walk the talk. It's too easy to blame the Government, or the school management or the parents of those children in Rivona who refused to let HIV kids be admitted into their school. It's too easy to criticize from a distance. What if it was the school where my child studied? How would the parents have reacted? How would I have reacted? Here's what I suggest. Let each of us parents, wherever we are in Goa, request our school PTA to have a special meeting with a single point agenda. Asking each parent, Are you open to admitting children with HIV into this school?. I know there will not be a unanimous 'YES' in any school. No problem. We then approach the Government, and the Education Department and Human Rights organizations to have education and sensitization programs for our parents. We allay everyone's fears till we can reach an unanimous decision, even if it takes weeks. Each school PTA then sends their now 'informed' decision to the Education Department. HIV is not going anywhere in a hurry. The problem will re-occur in some other school tomorrow. Let us be prepared to welcome these kids after we have been made to understand that there is no problem with their presence. Let what happened in Rivona never happen again. If you are a parent in Goa please contact your school PTA and ask them to call this Special Meeting. If you are not a parent in Goa please share this so that a Goan parent will see it and do the right thing. For our kids, and their kids!

Cecil, Thanks for being pro-active on this issue here and elsewhere on the web. I am glad you have come out strongly in support of education for all. It is pure ignorance that fuels the fear of some parents towards kids who are HIV+.. The following is from the National Aids Trust (UK) Perhaps it will alleviate the fears of those who are not up to date on HIV. Mervyn This page is for all teachers (especially head teachers), school governors and anyone who has responsibility for staff or pupils in schools. Under the Equality Act 2010, it is unlawful to discriminate against people living with HIV from the point of diagnosis. This means that schools cannot discriminate against pupils or staff living with HIV. It also means that schools should make reasonable adjustments to ensure people living with HIV can work or study at the school. Despite these legal protections, there are still cases of children being refused a place or excluded and staff being sacked or not employed simply because they are living with HIV. It is important to remember: Having a child living with HIV in school poses no risk to staff or pupils. There is no known case of an HIV transmission occurring at school. HIV cannot be passed on by spitting, small cuts or grazes, sharing utensils or toilets seats. No case has ever been recorded of HIV transmission from child to child by biting, fighting, playing or any other normal childhood interaction. Virtually all children living with HIV are completely healthy for the majority of their school career. With appropriate treatment and care, they can live a long and healthy life. Children living with HIV have regular clinical check-ups and those that need medication may take it at home once or twice a day. HIV suppresses the immune system so children living with HIV have to take care not to catch childhood illnesses, such as measles or chicken pox as these can have severe health implications for them.

[Goanet] what is a religion
People put dividers while talking to religion. Each person feels superior and their leaders still higher. Our attitudes need to be changed and our thoughts towards the other person need to be changed. Our christian religion wants us to do just two things. Love God with your whole heart and treat him as No 1 and love all God's creations as you would want God to love you. Just do thinking from the day you were born till today. God has been loving you and caring you because you are his creations. God do not want you to put dividers between jews and samariatians, between hindus and christians etc etc Even the catholic church and among priests there is caste divisions .In early times only brahmins were allowed to join the seminary and that is why you read about bammon and non bamons. While Jesus teaches about love we practice lot of unwanted things. Fr.Cedric Prakash if he had couragoe he would have gone straight to Modi and given him tight one on his face or call Modi for the meeting in Panjim.

[Goanet] WHAT MODI BECOMES PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA?
Four myths about India's leading prime ministerial candidate; Forwarded by Stephen Dias Cedric Prakash, Ahmedabad India February 7, 2014 As a Christian and particularly a Jesuit priest, I take stands and believe that while being open to dialogue and reason, one has to be unequivocal about what one stands for. So, I take a stand against politicians or political parties that are sectarian, corrupt, casteist and above all those who indulge in the criminalization of society. I do not espouse any political party. All have their own drawbacks. A reality check would show that each one has failed the people of India in some way or another, especially the poor and the marginalized, either because of their particular ideology or because they have catered to a particular class or caste. All this brings to mind the powerful words of Pope Francis in his Apostolic Exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium (The Joy of the Gospel) in which he condemns the economy of exclusion and inequality and a financial system which rules rather than serves. We have to accept that genuine fears and anxieties exist about Narrndra Modi, the pro-Hindu Bharatiya Janata Partys (BJP) prime ministerial candidate and three- time chief minister of Gujarat becoming prime minister, after the general election due in May. However let me clarify some matters about Modi and his rule in Gujarat. Myth 1: Modi is a development man This cannot be further from the truth. Gujarat has always been a developed state from the time it was carved out of Bombay state in 1960. Economic indicators clearly show that Gujarat under Modi has been worse off than under previous governments (even the BJP one before him). The fact is that foreign direct investment in Gujarat has taken a severe beating in the last few years and even local investment is far below what is being flaunted. Regarding social indicators, Gujarat fares poorly. A UNICEF report published in 2013 says social development in the state has not kept pace with economic development; almost every second child in Gujarat under five years old is undernourished, while three quarters are anemic. Myth 2: The Gujarat carnage is a thing of the past and Modi has been given a clean chit Many believe the courts exonerated Modi of involvement in the Gujarat anti-Muslim riots in 2002. The hard facts are, however, very different. First of all, no court has given Modi a clean chit. True, there is a Special Investigation Team (SIT) report that says there is not enough evidence against Modi. But this has been challenged, with the petitioner Zakhia Jafri being given leave by Ahmadabad magistrates to question the merits of the SIT report in a higher court. Raju Ramchandran, appointed by the Supreme Court as amicus curiae for many of the Gujarat riot cases, asserts that there is enough evidence to prosecute Modi on several counts with regard to the violence in 2002, in which more than 1,000 people died. Modi has neither shown any remorse nor taken responsibility for the killing of innocent people under his watch. The least a chief minister could have been expected to do was to enforce law and order and protect the life and property of every citizen in his state. That he ignored this responsibility, there is no doubt among many. That he has denigrated minorities has been documented by the print and the electronic media. Myth 3: Modi has made up with the minorities There are some claiming to be representatives of minority Christian and Muslim communities who sing Modis praises. A careful analysis indicates these people have vested interests, especially in business, and are not really interested in their community or what is happening to minorities in the country. In 2003 Modi introduced an anti-conversion law and established rules to govern the implementation of this law in 2008. It is perhaps one of the most draconian laws in the history of democratic India. It forbids a citizen from converting to another faith unless she/he has permission from civil authorities. Even now, police and intelligence officers constantly visit Christian institutions and Christians in general, making all kinds of inquiries and demanding to check baptism registers and other records. Myth 4: Modi is not corrupt In May 2012, anti-corruption campaigners Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal visited Gujarat. They came away declaring it the most corrupt state in the country. Why they have not continued to highlight corruption in Gujarat is anyones guess. Several years ago, the Tata Motor Company was allowed to establish a plant to build the world's cheapest car in Gujarat with surprising ease, flouting every rule in the book and even the state's industrial policy. It is alleged that the Adani Company controls the price of compressed natural gas, amassing huge profits. In addition, the role of the Ambanis in mega projects in Gujarat is being questioned. The way environmental laws are flouted and the terrible ecological degradation that is taking place all over the state,

[Goanet] WHAT VIJAY SANKALP WAS IT?
After having trespassed into the fields at Merces to hold that so called Vijay Sankalp rally in an apparent chicanerous manner, government paid workers are still clearing the mess left by the BJP. Shouldn’t the party volunteers have been responsible for the cleanup? We need to know why the organisers are not made liable to clear the mess and as to why the State exchequer is being burdened? We have also seen how high-handedly the state machinery was used to hold that rally. On the RSS cadres who posed wearing burqas less said the better. Goa also saw blatant defacement of public property all over by display of banners, posters and cut-outs without necessary permission of the civic and Panchayat bodies. And that too without paying the requisite fees. How does the BJP which claims to be a Party with a difference explain this high –handed conduct? How did the Police machinery remain blind to these acts? Now that the political parties come within the ambit of the Right to Information Act will Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar make public the total extravagant expenditure incurred on that Narendra Modi rally? We know all those crores were extracted from the Mining, Casino and builder lobby as also from real estate developers.

Re: [Goanet] What lies ahead?
As for Marshall's pointing out that the quote referred to J Edgar Hoover, it could probably be. I had heard the quote, and hence my check on internet gave me that the quote was said during the civil struggle, though it didn't mention to who it referred. Here's the quote: Better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in. Lyndon Johnson In some books, the quote uses in my tent J. Edgar Hoover was keeping a close watch on the civil movement, as far as I recollect reading the civil history. He was also keeping a keen watch on President Kennedy, and there's lot of different accounts of the Kennedy assassination. It also alleged to be the work of FBI and perhaps Hoover for Kennedy's involvement with Marilyn Monroe. The words spoken by first man on the moon, Aldin, is said to have been misunderstood or deliberately ignored for his saying a small step for me. Eugene Correia
