[Goanet] Why The Qatar Blockade Happened.

2018-07-16 Thread Roland Francis
Now at last thanks to the BBC receiving a leak from a nation hostile to Qatar, a curtain had lifted and we have a reason why Qatar is accused of financing terrorists and why the Economic Blockade against it was enforced. Exciting bit-by-bit coverage.

Putin couldn’t have dreamt of a better outcome. The US President has exonerated Russia from all wrongdoing without Putin expending any effort of his own. He has shown Trump as an unreliable ally to America’s friends and to some, even an enemy. Try as American diplomats will, to show their

“If ill-treated, elderly parents can take back property gifted to son, rules HC - The Times Of India - Goa, 2018-07-16.” With that landmark ruling, a worthy precedent has been set except if overturned by the Supreme Court. I am not aware of anywhere in the world of such a court ruling. Now

I think it is important "NOT" to trust any food from any source, unless home grown/cultivated/farmed. The food supply chain today is exposed to pesticides, GMO chemicals, additives, toxins, contamination, pollution, etc. to be considered safe. I don't consider any outside food 100% safe, it is

GL responds: The criticism of the Goa Tourism Master Plan should start with: 1. The new money being pumped into Goa's economy by the tourists. 2. The number of Goans directly employed by Tourism 3. The number of Goans indirectly employed by Tourism. 4. Ways and Means for Goa Govt to recoup tax now

What you say about being sprayed rather than injected may be quite correct. I mentioned ‘injected’ because I read that in Kerala they were opening the gills and injecting the solution. Perhaps injecting is used only for small, prized and expensive catches where they are packed and exported in

A little more than a cursory glance into cyberspace reveals that while the Formalin Fish scandal is only just breaking out in Goa, it is well known all along south India’s west and east coasts. In fact fish from these harbours were discovered and banned from North-East States which having

I think the fish is painted with formalin rather than injected. While this is being dismissed as fake news by some in Goa (including, apparently, the CM), the problem has attracted concern from many coastal states. FN PS: I've bought a North Indian mango in the market about five days back, kept
