[Goanet] Religion and Politics.

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

This is in reference to a letter published on a couple of newspapers  in 
respect to Religion and Politics. The writer in fact compares the article on 
‘Renovação’ as a  misuse of Freedom of speech , when in fact, what he states in 
the letter as facts, have absolutely no truth, a clear falsification of history 
 that smacks of ignorance or ulterior motives.
Germany during the Nazi Regime was no more Catholic  as it is at present, which 
is around 30%, which definitely is not  Catholic Dominated as Poland.  History 
also says that the Church did fight against Nazi regime in its own way, maybe 
not by publishing articles, if that’s what the writer meant.  It is very 
glaring that the letter criticises the Church for publishing the article in the 
Church magazine, and in the same stride criticises the Church of being silent 
during the Nazi regime.  The writer and others who criticise the Church on this 
issue, specially Catholics, need to know that most Nazis were brought up 
Catholics but in adulthood  had turned hostile towards her.  Catholics were 
persecuted during Nazi regime, and infact many Catholics rescued Jews. History 
cannot be changed, but can be manipulated to the ignorants.
And lastly, There's a deep ravine that divides Politics and Social Injustice, 
and cannot be confused for one another.

[Goanet] Need for Judicial Investigation.

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

It is sad to note that some people display such ignorance on public media with 
their letters to editors. One writer recently wrote that people are unnecessary 
doubting Goa police for arresting allegedly a mentally unsound person in the 
recent desecrations. He cites demonstration videoed by police to show he is 
capable, and that no further desecration took place. Is that sufficient 
evidence in the Court of Law. On the contrary there is plenty of evidence that 
glaring show contradictions, and investigations carried out in total disregard 
to rules of criminal investigation. A witness is there who has seen a white 
Tata Indica. Police say they found Herald clipping with handwriting at 
cemetery, a top police official is on record on logical conclusion that the 
desecration is not the work of a mentally deranged person, The impression on 
tombs and niches show glaringly that it is not a small hammer, The main cross 
over entrance of cemetery was broken to release which soul? Can a small hammer 
break the concrete cross? Plenty more, for which the IO will be shred to pieces 
in the witness box. The Church should Petition the Judiciary to have the 
investigation under judicial supervision. After all, it is property under their 
care that was vandalised. Further desecration have stopped, in no way means the 
culprit is apprehended.

[Goanet] Goa government to eliminate rabies ?

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

This is in reference to a news item that appeared in a section of the Press 
stating the Goa government working towards elimination of canine rabies from 
India.  That the goal will be attained by only vaccinating dogs, both domestic 
and strays; and a hotline established for public to report any dog seen with 
signs of rabies. The news smacks of Ignorance about rabies and that it can be 
eliminated. Permit me to enlighten our ignorant government about facts of 
rabies.
Rabies is a viral disease transmitted to humans by animals mostly through bites 
and scratches. The infected animal is not restricted only to the dog, domestic 
or stray, but also to cats, bats, skunks, and a varied other animals. The virus 
cannot be eliminated, but incidence of rabies can be controlled.
The yearly incidence of deaths due to rabies in Goa is in single digit, whereas 
the incidence of dog bites is in hundreds.  This exercise undertaken by 
government is just an eyewash to fool the public. It will not reduce the menace 
of dog bites in the country nor rabies. If the government is really concerned 
about the public welfare in reducing rabies, they need to reduce the numbers of 
stray dogs roaming freely all over and attacking humans. They need to reduce 
the heaps of garbage seen all over, specially leftover food disposed off 
indiscriminately. They need to apprehend people feeding strays with poultry and 
other animal waste on city roads. No one objects to dog lovers taking the 
strays home and feeding them.

Fiery Story from a Yorkshire, England newspaper


Buttocks Tattoo Terror Lands Rotherham Pair In Hospital
2017-2-08


A furious row has broken out between a local tattoo artist and his client after 
what started out as a routine inking session, left both  of them requiring 
emergency hospital treatment.

Furious film fan and part time plus size model Tracey Munter (23), had visited 
the Ink It Good Tattoo Emporium on Wellgate last week  to have the finishing 
touches applied to a double buttock representation of the chariot race scene 
from the iconic 1959 film, Ben Hur. Tattooist Jason Burns takes up the story.

“It was a  big job in more ways than one.”;  he told us “I’d just lit a roll up 
and was finishing off a centurions helmet. It’s delicate, close up work. Next 
thing is, I sense a slight ripple in the buttock cleavage area just around 
Charlton Heston’s whip, and a hissing sound – more of a whoosh than  a rasp – 
and before I know what’s happening, there’s a flame shooting from her arse to 
my fag (cigarette) and my beards gone up like an Aussie bush fire.”;

Jason says he rushed to the studio sink to quell the flames, only to turn round 
and see Tracey frantically fanning her buttock area  with a damp towel. The 
flames had travelled down the gas cloud and set fire to her thong which was 
smoking like a cheap firework.
“To be honest”, said Jason, “I didn’t even realise she was wearing one. You’d 
need a sodding mining licence  and a torch to find out for sure. She could have 
had a complete wardrobe  in there and I’d have been none the wiser.”;

Jason and Tracey  were taken to Rotherham District Hospital accident and 
emergency  department where they were treated for minor burns  and shock. Both 
are adamant that the other is to blame.

“I’m furious”; said Jason, “I’ve got a face like a mange-ridden dog and my left 
eyebrows not there any more. I don’t know about Ben Hur – Gone With The Wind’s 
more like it. You don’t just let rip in someone’s face like that. It’s 
dangerous.”;

But  Tracey remains both angry and unrepentant;
“I’m still in agony,”; she said, “;and  Charlton Heston looks more like Sidney 
bloody Poitier now. Jason shouldn’t have  had a fag on the go and there’s  no 
way I’d  guff on purpose. He’d had me on all fours for nearly an hour. I can 
only put up with that for so long before nature takes its course.  My Kev knows 
that. I give him my five second warning and I’d have done the same for Jason, 
but I didn’t get chance – it just crept out.”;

Ted Walters from the South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue service wasn’t surprised 
when we told him what had happened “People just don’t  appreciate the dangers. 
“; he told us, “We get called out to more flatulence ignition incidents than 
kitchen fires these days, now people have moved over to oven chips. We have a 
slogan ‘Flame ‘n fart – keep ’em apart’. Anyone engaging in an arse inking  
scenario would do well to bear that in mind in future.”;

[Goanet] Subject: 'Drinking ban on the beach" Why I will not file PIL in the Court?

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

Let us not speculate until we read the Order.
The ORDER of the SC on Ban of liquor sale 500 mts from Highways will affect 
only a few.
It will affect only those liquor outlets that sell take away liquor within 500 
mts from Highways.
Mapusa, Panjim, Margao have bypass highways built to avoid vehicles entering 
the city. If roads leading to the city are still under Highways, the government 
needs to denotify that, so that the city dealers are out of purview.
If licenses for sale were issued by State government to outlets after 2007, 
then it is the government fault for ignoring the Model Policy mooted by Centre 
in 2007.
There is no scope for a review. But the State government can create bypass of 
highways to exclude affected towns.

This has reference to the letter on the proposed Shivaji Statue in sea off

http://epaper.navhindtimes.in/NewsDetail.aspx?storyid=7892=2017-01-23=1

It is very obvious from the letter how many people get swayed and incited when 
issues are represented with religious overtones and patriotism. They lose 
rationality as to the feasibility, adverse scientific side effects on 
environment and monetary thriftiness that goes along with such monstrous 
structures.
India has a lot of personalities in its history. Each of them having large 
amount of followers in India. That should not be the reason for building 
monstrous statues of each of them, like of Emperor Akbar at Delhi, or Tipu 
Sultan in Bengaluru, or even Alfonso de Albuquerque offshore Goa.
In fact, were it not for Alfonso de Albuquerque who carved out Goa from the 
Indian subcontinent five centuries back, Goa might have been just another 
Indian village  in Maharashtra or Karnataka. And India would not have the 
opportunity to host International events like BRICS summit, CHOGM, or DefExpo, 
etc . in Goa in a show of its unique environment. It would not also, for the 
same reason make Indians want a second home in Goa. Would these same people 
agree to other statues?

"The smaller the head, the bigger the dream"; so goes a saying.
Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways recently laid the Foundation 
stone for a four-lane highway with dreams of a Coastal Highway on lines with 
Las Vegas-San Francisco Pacific Coastal Highway. It must be beyond his 
comprehension that Goa is just a small State with an area of 3.7 thousand 
sq.kms.  And most of Goa is covered with villages, ancestral houses with unique 
architecture, agricultural land and NO barren stretches. Such a small area does 
NOT need broad highways dissecting through them and destroying not just the 
ecology, but the very identity of Goa. The BJP government is bulldozing 
projects of their whims in the name of development instead of leading the

[Goanet] Ban all celebrations of Maharajas, Sultans and Shahs !

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

The recent case of rioting and arson that took place at Rumdamol-Gogol brings 
to the fore the BJP government's  communal agenda. In February this  year and 
even at this year  Diwali celebrations certain groups spent lakhs of rupees in 
celebrating Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti, put up posters all over Margão, took  
processions , made huge lanterns and installed at traffic island without 
permission from authorities. And the concerned authorities did nothing. WHY?
Since nothing was done, now Mysoreans feel they too can celebrate Tipu sultan's 
Anniversary in a similar way, and have put up posters to celebrate.
This has now led to this clash with rioting and arson.
Goa would do well to BAN all celebrations of Maharajas, Sultans & Shahs , 
rather than make Goa their battle field which was successfully put a stop to by 
Timayya by inviting the Portuguese for the last four and half centuries. The 
BJP now seems to be hell bent in starting that war again.

Can any medical person or scientist claim with certainty that RF field from 
mobile phones and towers does NOT cause cancer? Which authority says so?
The issue here is exactly this, the government and service providers say with 
authority that IT DOES NOT!

[Goanet] CELLPHONE TOWER RADIATIONS

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

The following are excerpts from American Cancer Society released on May 31, 
2016 on Public exposure to radio waves from cell phone tower antennas. It can 
be verified at this site : 
http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/othercarcinogens/athome/cellular-phone-towers
QUOTE:
"The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified RF 
fields as "possibly carcinogenic to humans," based on limited evidence of a 
possible increase in risk for brain tumors among cell phone users, and 
inadequate evidence for other types of cancer."

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states: "At very high levels, RF 
energy is dangerous. It can heat the body's tissues rapidly. However, such high 
levels are found only near certain equipment, such as powerful long-distance 
transmitters. Cellphones and wireless networks produce RF, but not at levels 
that cause significant heating.
A large study by the US National Toxicology Program (NTP) exposed groups of lab 
rats and mice to RF energy over their entire bodies for about 9 hours a day, 
starting before birth and continuing for up to 2 years. The NTP recently 
released partial findings from this study, which found increased (although 
still low) risks of brain and heart tumors in male rats exposed to RF 
radiation, although there was no increased risk among female rats. Some aspects 
this study, such as the high doses of RF radiation and the long amount of time 
the rats were exposed to it, make it hard to know just how well these results 
might be applied to people. Still, the results add evidence to the idea that 
the signals used in cell phone communication might potentially impact human 
health.
Some people have expressed concern that living, working, or going to school 
near a cell phone tower might increase the risk of cancer or other health 
problems. At this time, there is very little evidence to support this idea. In 
theory, there are some important points that would argue against cellular phone 
towers being able to cause cancer.
When a cellular antenna is mounted on a roof, it is possible that a person on 
the roof could be exposed to RF levels greater than those typically encountered 
on the ground.

UNQUOTE

With these latest facts from accepted scientific research bodies, I ask the 
following questions. Can a qualified Doctor in the medical field assure with 
confidence that cancer cannot be caused when authorities have not proved it 
yet? Is there a constant check by any Authority on the levels of RF energy 
emissions from the towers? Is there anyway of checking the radiation level of 
the  mobile phone? Regulatory information gives out Specific Absorption Rate 
(SAR) of the head and body. For the head, SAR of more than 1.6 is dangerous. 
Anything below 1 is safe. For the body, SAR above 5 is dangerous and regulatory 
norms prescribe that SAR has to be less than 2 for the body.

COMMENT:
Aires, please don't shoot in the dark!
Very easy to say : "Vishnu Wagh might have missed out on vital and
critical treatment while at the Goa Medical College."
Don't bring here cross examination tactics.
NO DOCTOR CAN EVER state that there was any deficiency in treatment given, 
unless there is concrete evidence; even when best and expert treatment was 
given.
So Aires, Please don't try to plant doubts in people's mind with your lawyer's 
brains.
Try and understand Medical facts!
Even many layman by now know that brain cells die if deprived of blood 
circulation/oxygenation for more than THREE MINUTE!
Vishnu Wagh had a Cardiac arrest following a heart attack some time back,
after which he was revived and the block re-canalised by angioplasty. Which 
means he had definitely suffered death of some part of the heart muscle. He was 
advised rest for six moths to recuperate, which he ignored.
This second attack he got now, resulted also in cardiac arrest, and it is very 
much possible that it lasted for more than THREE MINUTES.
There is even a possibility that this time it was a real cardiac arrest and 
that the first time was a ventricular fibrillation. It is normally so.
So, Please; Do not venture into the medical field when one is unaware of the 
sequence following heart attacks.

FYI
Kept my appointment with the Crime Branch, Cyber Cell today afternoon.
The thrust of the enquiry officer's questions, was primarily about asking
me to reveal the identity of the source, who could have given me a copy of
an inter-office memo issued by Herald deputy general manager (Sales) Adwait
Desai (memo attached), which more than adequately shows that chunks of
editorial content in the Herald is subject to screening of the sales
department.
In response, I said on more than one occasion, that I was not in a position
to reveal the name of the source who gave me the memo, citing journalistic
ethics, according to which revealing the identity of the source, who has
helped to unearth a malpractice, is sacrilege.
I also explained that if in the future, reporters were asked to name their
sources and were subject to complaints filed by public institutions and
private companies for 'stealing' or 'hacking' data, every time a story was
filed on basis of leaked documents, it would be impossible for bonfide
media to report on issues in public interest.
I also said that the case against me filed by Herald amounted to harassment
and aimed at targeting whistle blowers in its own organisation who had
unearthed a journalistic malpractice.
It's ironical that a media house itself is gunning for a journalistic

[Goanet] YOGA in schools from July.

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

I am not in the least surprised that our Chief Minister announced that, come 
July, YOGA training will be started across the State in 180 schools by 
employing 180 yoga teachers on Contract. After all, contract labour is 
government's hallmark to kick them out later.

But my main question to Hon'ble Chief Minister, Mr. Parsekar, who I presume was 
a Head Master, is that what and how will it benefit a child in their upbringing 
school years.

Can Mr. Parsekar clarify or cite any scientific basis That YOGA helps in the 
upbringing of a child?

Can he cite any genuine scientific research that shows benefits of Yoga?

Is Yoga Internationally accepted as a requisite for a child's benefit and 
upbringing, and advised by UNESCO or any other International Educational 
Organisation?

Or is the government pushing down the throats of people whatever they believe, 
diktats that have NO scientific basis?

[Goanet] Yoga session planned during doctors conference

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

The IMA Bardez branch has planned a Yoga session for its Conference of doctors 
in September this year.

Have the Medical Profession in Bardez stooped and bowed to UNQUALIFIED levels 
from the science profession they are qualified? Is Hindutva taken priority over 
Science for them?


http://www.navhindtimes.in/yoga-session-planned-during-doctors-conference/


<http://www.navhindtimes.in/yoga-session-planned-during-doctors-conference/>

Yoga is nothing but a combination of breathing and stretch exercises and 
meditation. There in no scientific research on Yoga. One cannot generalise that 
Yoga is beneficial to all.

I feel our Bardez doctors should feel ashamed that even Indian Physiotherapists 
Association have refused to bow down to the government's intolerance to science 
and promoting their Hindutva myths in the science field.

That is exactly what the government is doing all these years.

But our NGOs keep objecting to this development.

Parrikar has clearly said so.

But people complained of floods!!!

They are now "Developing" a Coastal Highway by filling up coastal areas,

And people are still objecting !

Harvesting is done in the fields, RIGHT??

So what if for 4 months you harvest in your homes?

RESPONSE:


A doctor issues a prescription and not a bill for medicines dispensed/purchased.

A doctor signs and stamps his own prescription and not a bill issued by a

A bill is issued when a purchase is made. It it is made without a purchase then

[Goanet] Six months Fr. Bismarque.

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

This month it will be SIX MONTHS for Fr. Birmarque Dias' death. His body still 
lies in the morgue.
Many activists and many a village Fora protested as it was an alleged Murder, 
since people knew that Fr. Bismarque was a good swimmer as well as not an 
alcoholic.
The saddest part of it all is that some people in the name of the dead body of 
Fr. Bismarque, tried to reap political mileage, as well as stoop to such a low, 
so as to make money over his dead body.
Many a activists and forum were shocked; and the original group of activist who 
went under the banner of "Justice for Fr.Bismarque" even objected   when they 
came to know that a certain group  under self acclaimed banner  "Justice for 
Fr. Bismarque Dias" were to collect money. This group, collected moneys in 
dollars in a Goan's account abroad, unauthorised by the family of Fr. 
Bismarque, through fund raising website , in the guise of conducting a private 
investigation and bringing justice. They even gave a press statement a couple 
of months back at Panjim issuing vague contradiction of evidence. Nothing 
specific, nothing concrete. They played with the sentiments of the people. And 
many gullible NRI Goans donated on sympathetic and compassionate  grounds.
We Goans would like to hear from this specific group who collected moneys in 
foreign currency, what Justice have they done so far to Fr. Bismarque's dead 
body?
Or whether they have done justice to the funds collected?

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

I have perused the files attached in this case and have found it interesting.

What is interesting is the type of fracture seen. A shattered head of radius 
bone and fractured neck. A closed fracture.

I am not a Forensic expert so am unaware of the physical-dynamics that lead to 
such a fracture.

I feel such a fracture can occur when a sudden force is applied at the elbow, 
in line with the forearm, when the forearm is fixed.

Or was it a Essex-Lopresti fracture ???

LOOKS MORE LIKE IT !!

[Goanet] DOCTORS V/S JUDGES

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

"DOCTORS VS JUDGES":

 Judiciary should also come under CPA (Consumer Protection Act).

"Every body must READ and SHARE this article.


--In the Salman Khan hit and run case the LOWER court judge and the HIGH
court judge had the SAME pieces of EVIDENCE to deal with.


--They also had the SAME Indian LAW to abide by and most probably they had
similar education qualifications too.


--Yet they INTERPRETED the situation in absolutely CONTRASTING manner and
gave verdicts which are poles apart.


--Just imagine what would have happened if a YOUNG doctor sitting in a
GOVERNMENT hospital doctor catering to hundreds of patients in a day had
diagnosed a celebrity patient presenting with gastric discomfort as
GASTRITIS and another hospital had LATER on diagnosed that patient to be
having a MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION. I am sure that doctor would have been
screwed and jailed.


--A JUDGE gets YEARS to decide on a case
unlike a DOCTOR who is expected to diagnose and treat everything in the
BLINK of an eye.


--If a doctor making a wrong diagnosis can be prosecuted shouldn't a judge
giving wrong verdicts meet the same fate?


--If hospitals can be sued for not admitting poor patients shouldn't the
courts be prosecuted for having lacs of impending cases?


--Is it not appalling that a judge taking 12 years to give a wrong verdict
gets away unhurt and a doctor making one mistake is screwed by our legal
system?


--Doctors practice medicine which is more of an art than an exact science
whereas law is absolutely 100% man made, yet doctors are expected to be right
on all occasions.


--If doctors and hospitals have a duty towards the society then does the
judiciary not have a responsibility towards the society.


--If there is so much of hue and cry in media about doctors and hospitals
charging huge sums from patients then why do we not ever hear a word on the
fee that lawyers like Manu Singhvi and Jethmalani charge for their court
appearances.


--Government often talks about putting a capping on the fees doctors charge
for various procedures but their is no talk of putting a capping on the fee
that these lawyers charge to get justice for their clients.


--If health is a citizen's right then so is justice. Shall we take our minds

[Goanet] Bedtime stories

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

There is a saying in English: "The smaller the head, the bigger the dream".
Some years back a minister from Goa dreamt of building a bridge from Dona Paula 
to Vasco in lines with the Bandra-Worli sea link. It was just a pipe dream. 
Last year a Union Minister for Highways dreamt of building a new Zuari bridge 
with a viewing tower on lines with Eiffel Tower of Paris. We will to wait till 
the minister wakes up to find out if it is a dream. Now we hear in Goa Assembly 
of a proposed ropeway from Panjim to Reis-Magos. It says will attract high end 
tourist as well as generate employment.

It is not just a travesty but perversion of the situation. Permit me to point

In the first place. Is this Dr. Samir Kelekar a medical doctor? Is he aware of

view . Certain press report say that The expert Forensic doctor was not named, 
but some media name the Prof. of GMC , Forensic Dept. Is this some game play or 
Defamation? Who has employed this Independent group for private investigation? 
Surely not the family, else the family lawyer who is representing them 'pro 
bono' would have accompanied, if not released the press  statement. If these 
Independent group claim they have Forensic evidence, would it not be Legally 
correct to approach the District & Sessions Court and produce the evidence and 
testimony and seek Judicial a Order to register a FIR and investigate under 
Judicial supervision?

[Goanet] Why Shivaji Jayanti in Goa?

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

On February 19, Goa went into big celebrations of Shivaji Jayanti.
There were Banners and Saffron flags with Shivaji's face all over every 10 
meters in the cities.
There were processions, merry making and fireworks till late 21:30 hours.
I would like to know, and likewise many Goans too,
1- What has Shivaji , who was a Maratha warrior got to do with GOA? He is 
revered in Maharashtra!
2- Who has financed this lakhs of expenditure for the celebrations in Goa?
3- What is the hidden agenda of this celebration at such expense? Making Goa 
part of Maharashtra?
4- Can the protagonists of this Maratha Shivaji show us Goans from history; in 
what way Goa and Goans need to be grateful and commemorate this Marathi 
warrior? In fact, as per history, Shivaji repeatedly attacked Goa to conquer 
it; and was driven off several times by Sultanate of Bijapur and the Portuguese.
I smell a sinister plan here, that there are people still having hopes that Goa 
merge with Maharashtra!

What else is waiting for now?  Pvt. Investigation finding?

COMMENT :


Pvt. Investigation finding ? Was there one? OR Goans are made fools of 
everytime by unscrupulous Goans themselves?

Are there any Crime investigation experts in Goa?

What have these so called Anonymous Investigators unravelled?

A blood stained vest? Some 5 children witnesses?

Their updates periodically released are just Vague statements that the so 
called "TEAM" is assisting police.

That too after I challenged them if their Private investigations have any 
"locus standi" in Court when the State Police are investigating.

And they don't miss in stating that they are running short of funds and 
investigation hampered.

We have such crooks that are vultures who don't even respect the DEAD!

[Goanet] Politicians and Roads, is it "development"?

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

Successive government have been just constructing Roads and Roads and widening 
existing Roads. All they are doing is covering more and more area of the fixed 
area of Goa with Tarmac. And the building lobby is covering it with concrete. 
Where is our Goa headed to?
Village roads are being widened by destroying people's houses and compound 
walls. Footpaths are built on usurped private property that owners have kept as 
setback. Acquisition is done in some cases by illegal means, when objection 
raised are deliberately ignored instead of referring them to District Courts. 
Compensations are not paid to public for last 25 years and more, but siphoned 
out illegally. What happened to Lakhs of Compensation money that went missing 
from South District Collectorate? People have been frequenting the Collectorate 
for last 25 years!
Our Illiterate and Ignorant Politicians, as well as many Goans think that more 
roads and wider roads is "Development". That wider roads will decrease road 
congestion. Dubai has 6 to 8 lanes roads, but still mornings and evenings there 
are traffic jams. WHY? Everyone has a car there, besides all Companies/Business 
establishments have plenty of cars. Good governance in such cases is to limit 
number of vehicles and have good public transport system; rather than widening 
roads and destroying our old village heritage; destroying Goan houses, where 
roads will end up next to their windows. Take the example of Singapore. It is 
smaller than Goa. Why can Goa not restrict number of vehicles per family? Let 
extra vehicles be heavily taxed. Also let us see discipline maintained on the 
roads rather than just helmets fines.

[Goanet] Was it accidental drowning or not?

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

It is very intriguing how most media report that Diatom test rules out murder 
of Fr. Bismarque. Diatom test only rules out murder taken place elsewhere or in 
other waters and then body dumped in the waters where the body is found.  
Suprintendent of police K. Kashyap had stated exactly this when he gave a press 
statement, but press only printed the first half of the statement giving it an 
entirely different meaning.
With the GMC giving a final verdict on the cause of death as drowning too, does 
not rule out murder. It is still not confirmed whether he got drowned or was 
forced to drown.
There are many holes into police investigation which is evidently shoddy. The 
autopsy and viscera analysis rules out that Fr. Bismarque consumed beer, or 
that he was on anti-depressant medication. It is also on record the statement 
by the two boys that they consumed 2 cartons of beer, most of which they said 
Fr. Bismarque consumed. It is also on record that the police attached the empty 
beer bottles. Now the answer to the murder lies in WHO consumed the two cartons 
of beer.

[Goanet] Is foreign funding for services in India permitted?

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

Does a private Investigation into a crime that the State is in the process of 
investigating hold any 'Locus standi" in the Court of Law?

IF YES. Then how?

IF. Not ! Then what is the reason for collecting Foreign Public funds for the 
same and cheat the Public as the end result, whether fact or fabrication, will 
be futile?

Here is a case where people are influenced through sentiments.

[Goanet] GOA – uma cultura em vias de extinção

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

 turistas estrangeiros de ano para
 ano, como me conta um empres+ario de aluguer de scooters, e basta 
passear pelas badaladas praias que em tempos estiveram em moda para ver o
 porquê…

As casas tradicionais que davam um ambiente europeu num clima 
tropical deram lugar a barracos cobertos de plástico azul. Aliás, se há 
uma designação que se pode dar à Costa do Malabar é a COSTA AZUL, tal a 
profusão de plástico azul.

As telhas partiram? Não há problemas, cobre-se o telhado com ……..Plástico Azul;

As vidraças partiram…..plástico azul

Entra água na varanda? Plástico azul…..

Não precisa de plástico azul? a sério?

A par disso as vacas, sagradas para os hindus, que se movimentam cada
 vez mais livremente nas ruas das zonas turisticas e nas praias deixando
 as suas bostas que no tempo seco atraem moscas e geram maus cheiros e 
que na época das monções se misturam com as águas das chuvas 
emprestando um cheiro nauseabundo às localidades.

Isto não é Goa! Isto é a indianização de Goa!

E o turista estrangeiro já não vem fazer as raves nas praias de Goa, 
cheias de bostas, de garrafas de cerveja ou de bebidas alcoólicas locais
 e de lixo.

Essas praias agora estão ocupadas por jovens esgazeados de estados 
vizinhos que veem para Goa, com a sua tipica falta de civismo, 
embebedar-se, fumar e “desbundar” como se aqui fosse a terra do vale 
tudo.

O turista estrangeiro foge, para outras praias menos frequentadas, e 
quando essas são tomadas de assalto, eles procuram outras paragens, 
noutros países…..

Nos monumentos a falta de civismo é estonteante.

Se um casal está a tirar fotos num determinado local, eles poem-se à 
frente sem respeitarem para que depois possar “ter” o local para seu 
próprio deleite.

No Forte de Aguada, estava eu a tirar uma fotografia junto de um 
torreão, mal tinha tirado a camara do bolso e um indiano queria que eu 
saísse para que ele pudesse posar para uma sessão de fotos à Bollywood, o
 que significa que iria durar cerca de 30 minutos para fotos que servem 
para auto-estima.

Não liguei, e quando acabei de tirar a minha foto (1 foto) disse-lhe 
cara-a-cara: agora pode ir…

Quem quer ver GOA é despachar-se, brevemente Goa será uma território 
do Estado indiano de Maharastra, acabando assim cerca de 500 anos de uma
 cultura que as gerações mais recentes não quizeram, ou souberam, 
preservar.

[Goanet] IS IT A DADAGUIRI OF MEDICAL COUNCIL OF INDIA?

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

MCI team irked with rude faculty members of GMC





http://epaper.navhindtimes.in/NewsDetail.aspx?storyid=10661=2015-10-13=1




PANAJI: Atleast a dozen faculty 
members, including two heads of 
departments of the Goa Medical College failed to satisfy the inspectors 
deputed by the Medical Council of India (MCI) for inspection of the 
facilities, staff and other requirements at the only medical college in 
the state so as to continue its recognition for admission of 150 
students in the future.

Authoritative sources said that the MCI inspectors have taken a 
serious view of the faculty members not producing their original 
certificates, failing to sign the muster rolls sent to the operation 
theatres and out-patient departments where they were posted besides 
failing to meet various other requirements as per the MCI guidelines.

The sources said that the rude and uncooperative behaviour of the 
faculty members irked the inspection team members, who had to summon 
them to seek explanation, to which the faculty members took as an 
affront. The sources also denied that any operation was cancelled or 
postponed besides empathetically maintaining the OPDs functioned 
normally.

The sources said that to minimise action against them and to put the 
MCI inspectors on the back foot, the “aggrieved” faculty members 
“leaked” to media that operations were either cancelled or rescheduled 
and that the OPDs were closed.

“If the OPDs were closed and operations were postponed or cancelled 
then why were the muster rolls sent to the OPDs and operation theatres 
before 9 am with specific directions that they were to be returned to 
the inspector by noon,” the sources said adding that it was only when 
the unsigned muster rolls were returned around noon that faculty was 
called by inspectors to seek explanation. According to the sources, 
while the government ensured that most of the requirements as laid down 
by the MCI were met, the “uncooperative” behaviour of a few faculty 
members has put a question mark on whether the GMC would have to undergo
 another inspection for failing to meet the requirements.

The sources said that the government ensured that there was enough 
number of residents by invoking the bond condition on the students 
passing out of the GMC. As regards to the other requirement of seminar 
cum examination hall, the GSIDC assured the inspectors that it would be 
ready soon.

The sources further said that for the first time in the history of 
GMC in recent years, the physical verification of the staff was 
completed before 8 pm unlike post midnight in previous years. The 
inspection was carried in new lecture halls at the request of dean Dr 
Pradip Naik.

The MCI as well as the GMC authorities have issued standing 
instructions to the faculty members that they should keep their original
 certificates within the GMC campus so as to produce them before 
authorities at short notice. But quite a few faculty members have failed
 to adhere to the instructions.

[Goanet] Stray dogs vaccination

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

It is heartening
to read that over 30,000 stray dogs have been vaccinated for rabies in Goa as
per  statement released by Mission Rabies
to the press. How effective is this Rabies Vaccine? Is this all an Eye Wash to
fool the public and Judiciary that the government is taking steps? There are
various causes for Failure of vaccine, even in humans. The only scientific way
to confirm effectiveness of a vaccine is by checking the antibody titre in the
circulation, 6 weeks after vaccination. Have the vaccinated dogs been tagged? 
How
are they going to knowwhich dog was vaccinated and when? How are they going to
prove that the vaccination was really a genuine and effective anti-rabies
vaccination programme and not a futile exercise and a Bluff?

It is not very surprising that the Dy SP (Traffic) and

Campaign  at Mapusa ; as published in
certain newspapers. Are they so Incompetent to be unable to identify the causes
of accidents and corrective measures that need to be taken for the Safety of
Road users? Do they realize that helmets don’t prevent accidents but protect
head injury to a certain extent after meeting with an accident? That Helmets
are not for Road safety but it is an item of PPE (Personal Protective
Equipment)? In other words their MESSAGE for Road Safety is that let accidents
happen, and let road users get disabled, but deaths on road should decrease.

[Goanet] Teach them Young

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

It is a
good move that the government has decided to teach Traffic Regulations and
Safety in Schools and Colleges. But will just that suffice? We need to groom
children from young in other virtues that will aid them in understanding the
necessity of respecting Traffic Regulations and Safety. We need to teach 
children
first personal, home and environment HYGIENE. Then Manners, etiquettes, respect
and humility. That will groom children to respect Laws, Rules, and rights of
other citizens. Only then they will realise that Laws are there to live as 
civilized
citizens; unlike the arrogance and rage we see everywhere nowadays. It has
rightly been said: "If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are
planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate
people." 

This all looks good on paper. But do we have teachers that
will also teach through example?

One must have consent before saving or downloading photo

  
After last week's deportation of 
an Australian expat, Jodi Magi, who posted a photo of a resident's 
incorrect parking and was found guilty of cybercrime, there has been an 
increased awareness on the dos and don'ts on social media and a sharp 
alertness on privacy rights.
Harriet Balloch, Legal Director at Clyde  Co law firm, states 
it's important for people, particularly expatriates and visitors, to be 
aware of what that they can and can't do on social media in the UAE. 
The UAE is a conservative Muslim country, she said, adding that, 
privacy is highly valued here and the law protects people's privacy.

[Goanet] Goa attains International notoriety.

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

It is a
Shame to Goa’s Administration that international media broadcasts gangrape of 2
women tourists in Goa. Has the Administration even reflected why such crimes
have started happening in Goa?

All the
five accused are non-Goans and believed working in one Resort in the North Goa.
Possibly the same resort where they stayed overnight with the abducted
tourists. Otherwise it is not possible to enter a Resort and stay overnight with
abducted women. Unless ofcourse, the management is involved.

In the Uber
cab driver rape case, the Delhi government had then suspended the services of
Uber cabs. Will the Goa government close this Resort to investigate this case.

I guess this must be a new Medical research Center,

I guess the Mining companies are starved for pocket money, and are resorting to 
daylight robbery of private property of citizens.
Will the police do anything? Or will they be hand in gloves with the side that 
pays them pocket money too?
So far they didn't even impound the timber nor the truck.

One just requires common sense to conclude what are the resultant

aftermath of inbuilt anger and  hatred.
Raping a septuagenarian woman is an act of showing hate towards her or her ilk;
Threats issued over phones are also an act of hatred towards the recipients,
vandalism and arson too. All that to get the self satisfaction of having
displaced the anger and hatred. People are not gullible fools to believe

[Goanet] Goa's Taxi driver risks

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

Has Goa’s Tourism promoted murders of our Taxi drivers? How
many taxi drivers have not been killed by criminals posing as domestic tourists
and their taxis driven off to different States? Why is it that no one takes up
this issue in educating the taxi drivers to take adequate precautions on 
personal
Safety? Can the Goa Police not make certain Regulations mandatory?

For the Safety of taxi drivers, I feel every hired taxi
driver should click a photograph of the passenger tourist as mandatory Police 
Regulation
and send the picture to the nearest Police station by MMS. A Criminal will then
think twice as he cannot escape his identity if he commits a crime. Someone
needs to keep a track of which taxi has been hired by which tourist; either the
police, or their taxi Union.

[Goanet] Jet Airways does it again!

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

http://www.india.com/sports/wtf-jet-airways-barred-indian-shooters-anjali-bhagwat-heena-sidhu-for-carrying-firearms-353914/

WTF! Jet Airways barred Indian Shooters Anjali Bhagwat  Heena Sidhu for 
carrying firearms
Hearing about misbehaviour and 
manhandling on the part of some Indian airlines has become so common, 
it’s passé, but the latest incident by one of the airlines will leave 
you dumbstruck. Jet Airways, which often finds itself among 
controversies, did something unimaginable! They stopped the entry of 
India’s leading shooters Anjali Bhagwat and Heena Sidhu from boarding 
their flight from Bangkok to Mumbai, according to The Times of India.
 The reason being that the shooters were carrying firearms in their 
luggage. It seems Jet ignore the proper clearance papers they had! The 
ordeal did not end for the ladies, as they had to spend sleepless nights
 in Bangkok. (Also Read: Airport official arrested for sexually harassing 
passenger.)








The nightmarish trip for Anjali Bhagwat 
and Heena Sidhu started when the Jet Airways denied them entry on the 
connecting flight from Bangkok to Mumbai. The two female shooters were 
returning from Busan (South Korea) and as per norms, they were issued 
with a Jet Airways boarding pass in Busan itself. They were 
still hassled in Bangkok! (Also Read: Air India pilots indulge in verbal duel 
before flight take off)
As per the TOI report, the two Arjuna Awardees faced difficulties with the 
uncalled for behaviour of Jet. Heena Sidhu said while talking to TOI,
 “Despite having all the documents and paying all the fees, Shailesh 
Gala, the security manager of Jet Airways in Bangkok, didn’t allow us to
 board the flight. We showed him the DGCA permit and the customs 
clearance letter but he was adamant and said, ‘I won’t allow you to 
board the flight’. She further added after arriving Mumbai eight hours 
late, ”I asked him to give this in writing but he refused. We almost 
missed the Air India flight too because of his attitude.”
Heena was deeply affected with the rude 
behavior by the Jet Airways official who refused to tell the 
sportspersons the reasons behind barring them entry into the flight. 
Anjali and Heena were informed by Korean airline staff that they were 
not accepted because of the presence of firearms in the luggage. As a 
result, the girls faced plenty of trouble on the night with no food or 
sleep at the Bangkok airport.
“It was late in the night and because 
Jet Airways refused to allow us travel, we had to go out of the airport 
and take a visa on arrival. We also went without food as the restaurants
 were all closed. First, we paid the extra baggage charges to Jet and 
then to Air India and in total we spent about 1700 euros. Add to this 
the harassment we faced at the hands of that official,” said Heena, 
further expressing her anger.
The problem for the two sportspersons finally came to an end when the
 National Rifle Association of India stepped in, after being informed by
 the former Commonwealth Games medallist Ashok Pandit. (Edited by Shweta

[Goanet] Margao garbage collection a threat to Safety and security.

From: drferdina...@hotmail.com

Subject: Margao garbage collection
Date: Sun, 3 Aug 2014 07:15:43 +0530












The Margão Municipality
has a couple of days back started the door to door garbage collection.  Two 
municipal migrant workers go to houses and
flats in the city to collect the garbage. They enter buildings in the city and
have a free right to access by the blessings of the Municipality. They have no
uniforms that they can be identified, and knock residential doors in the
mornings.

This exercise is
an intrusion into the privacy of the residents and also a compromise of their
safety and security. In time, these migrants will know the movements of 
residents of each and
every flat/house. Besides, residents go for work, children to school, and mostly
some maid or elderly member of family is at home during working hours, and
opening doors during these hours is a risk to life and property. Any criminal
too can take advantage of the situation and claim to be collecting garbage. And
it is also to be noted that most of these migrant Municipal workers are 
paan/tobacco
chewing individuals and spit anywhere along staircase walls, etc. defacing
private property.

I request the
Municipality to stop this door to door stupid and birdbrained idea as they are
not only trespassing into private area, but also compromising the safety and 
security of the
residents. And that is illegal!

discarded host on a candleholder and brought it to Fr. Alejandro Pezet who
placed it in a container of water inside the tabernacle of the chapel of the
Blessed Sacrament. The following Monday, August 26, upon opening the
tabernacle, the priest was astonished to find that the Host had become a bloody
substance and he notified his Bishop Jorge Bergoglio (now Pope Francis I), who
gave instructions that the bloodied flesh be photographed. When the photographs
were taken on September 6, the bloodied flesh had grown significantly in size.
After it had been kept in the tabernacle for a few years the Bishop decided to
have it scientifically analyzed since it had not suffered any visible
decomposition. . .

[Goanet] Amusing read.

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

The news
reports on most dailies make amusing read. It not only depicts the mentality and
intelligence of the people but also of their representatives. Parrikar states
petrol will become cheaper if Modi becomes PM. But will that reduces bus, taxi
or rickshaw fares which benefits common man? Has that ever happened?

An Ad by supposedly
a private entity ‘Goencho mog’ in favour of the BJP depicts Congress scams. It
goes without saying that Indian Political Parties of whatever, hue are surely 
not
saints; all are corrupt. That is partly and inborn culture, a mixture of
upbringing as well as of the misinterpretation of the Hindu mythology. Another
Ad from this same sponsor depicts last election promises kept by the BJP of 
petrol
price reduction and other schemes, which benefited many. Does this many cover
the common man irrespective of his affiliation? Does the common man live on
Petrol? Why not reduce price of fish which is Goan staple food? Why bus fares
keep rising every year? Why Goans cannot afford to travel by non metered public
transport?

A writer
says the Church is communal and goes on to argue about wages not paid for beach
cleaning. A couple or so more from Calangute argue that calling others communal
is communal by itself. I respect their right to express their views. It does
give the reader some semblance of a ‘khell-tiatr’ directed by some of our
illiterate representatives. I wonder if such writings can draw any mileage 
benefiting
the local representatives.

[Goanet] Is this responsible journalism from GOANET?

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

When I had posted  irresponsible journalism on Goanet:


http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2014-March/238752.html


There were some responses, but Goanet found them maybe detrimental to 
journalism???
That is why they were posted on their website???
Here below I reproduce some that were cc'd to me too...

Dear Zena Costa,

Beyond legal offence U/s 228A IPC,

Don't you believe it is profanation and defamation of the deceased family?

In the immediately preceding post from me on this
topic, I got Zena's name wrong. I typed Rena instead of Zena.

 

While I can blame my IPad for autocorrecting in error, I blame myself.

 

Apologies.

 Dear Rena,

 

 You are obviously semi-right but NOT for the reasons stated by you.

 

 1: the Heraldo did NOT state that 'she' was raped. The Heraldo's article
points to the opposite direction ie Natural Causes. So...the Heraldo was not
naming a rape victim. Was it?

 

 2: Where is the Heraldo's LEGAL offence?

 

 3: It is, however, unethical in many jurisdictions to indicate the
DIAGNOSIS and physical findings of any individual (dead or alive) without the
person's prior consent UNLESS there are specific reasons (exclusion clauses)
for that disclosure. These countries have Data Protection Acts  which apply to 
individuals including doctors
etc. That is what Outlook did. Forget about the veracity of that article. I
suppose it is about Goa. Sochalta hai.

 

 4: But then, we are talking about Ethics and Indian Journos .Are we
not?

 

 jc

 ps: This may Not reach the GoaJourno forum, but could you fed it to them
AND also please indicate what you guys have written about the recent Goa
Potency Test?

Hey All, 

 

This
is not just irresponsible, its a legal offence. Even if Herald
got it wrong ( and deceased was indeed raped)  Naming a rape
victim is prohibited. 

 

Disclosure
is punishable under the Section 228A IPC -  not
only name ,
but publishing information that identifies
her family, address  or personal / professional
information  

 

In addition,   Norms of Journalistic
Conduct issued by the Press Council of India. (2010)   “while
reporting crime involving rape, abduction or kidnap of women/females or sexual
assault on children, or raising doubts and questions touching the chastity,
personal character and privacy of women, the names, photographs of the victims
or other particulars leading to their identity shall not be published.” 

 

Journalists/Publications not abiding by the above
are punishable both by PCI and IPC. The SC also discourages use of the victims
name and suggests that the term rape victim rape
survivor or deceased be used (as applicable) in their
judgements or by journalists in any form of communication or discussion.

Woman Raped, Murdered At Home in Goa,

When the fact is :

…death due to natural causes, confirm police.

http://www.epaperoheraldo.in/Details.aspx?id=14674boxid=14959656uid=dat=3/20/2014

 

Is this responsible journalism? Does a dead body have no
respect?

Can it be trampled upon by the Press?

[Goanet] cell tower radiation hazards - technical references

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

In my previous post on this above subject,


http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2014-March/238685.html
any person with mediocre intelligence would have understood that I have not 
asked that the website cited be read. It was put there for those who need to 
confirm my statement that Sunlight is ultra violet radiation and cell phone 
radiation is radio frequency radiation, The former being ionizing and the 
latter non-ionizing radiation.So, there is no need to confuse tomatoes with 
potatoes, just because one has toes!

COMMENT:

In the Medical College, ie. Goa Medical College where Santosh claims to have 
passed from; 
We as students were specifically taught to converse with layman in layman's 
terms. 
And not to use bombastic or rhetorical language.
If Sanosh cannot be genuine enough to let laymen understand what he's talking 
about, 
I feel  he should not send such posts that layman will not understand to a 
public media,
Unless; ofcourse, he feels he is denied of his right to defend his stand!
And by the way, cell phone radiation is radio frequency radiation, as in 
microwave and known as non-ionizing radiation;
Whereas Sunlight(Ultra violet radiation) and X-rays are known as ionising 
radiation which mostly that causes harm.
Guess this explanation is more in layman terms!

COMMENT: the site above states; QOUTE:

“The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has
classified RF fields as “possibly carcinogenic to humans,” based on limited
evidence of a possible increase in risk for brain tumors among cell phone
users, and inadequate evidence for other types of cancer. (For more information
on the IARC classification system, see our document, Known and Probable Human
Carcinogens.) 

UNQUOTE

Besides, my previous post on the subject cites a very recent
findings, i.e. Dated 7the March, 2014.

Any responsible person/authority, like say a Judge/Court
cannot pronounce that an accused is ‘innocent’ due to ‘lack of evidence’. A
Judge/Court can only acquit or exonerate based on ‘lack of evidence. 

In this case the “accused” is the cell  Tower RF waves radiation;
no responsible person can assure/pronounce that they are innocent!

[Goanet] Misinformation of the radiation from mobile towers

[Dr . Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão]

What do we do about this mon ami?
One cannot (specially a qualified medical doctor) in no terms assure there 
cannot be harmful effects when there is no proof.
Just as for us doctors it is ethics not to guarantee that there will not be 
side effects to any medication.



http://www.cell-phone-radiation.com/news/story.aspx?id=9#.UyGTbhBsv1M


An article released in the Daily Telegraph today, 7th March 
2014 explains that a recent Council of Europe committee has concluded 
that immediate action is required to protect children after ruling that 
new technologies do ‘potentially’ have harmful effects on humans.

 We've had enough name degradation of Goa since 1961. Please do not add to it. 
 Concentrate on keeping our cities and villages clean with proper

 Governance is serious, which has made them a top notch country in the world.

   Everytime I see a list with localities' names in Goa, I marvel at the
   number of 'Lusitanian' vs 'Indian' appelations. Still a large majority
   for
   'Luso' I see.
  
  
   Sometimes, it's just the spellings that might continue to be a bit
   Lusitanised... and the original name based on its Konkan original. FN
