Panjim Dolphins came into the game as strong contenders having won all their group matches so far. While, Flaming Oranje looked to take away all three points after a draw in the previous encounter against Goa Velha Saints. The game was an exciting one with goal mouth action at both ends, but it was the hard work from the end lines of both teams which cancelled out each other?s opportunities. Panjim Dolphins having a strong side came out with numerous attacks onto the Oranje defence but failed to find the winning strike. Both teams had to settle it out as they shared points and Panjim Dolphins sit comfortably at the top of the table with 10 points and just one more final round to go.

But in typical Goan tradition, these same educated Goans keep crying about the results they aspired / longed for.? It took a few years for their perennial (sodanchem) complaining (on everything Goan)?to bear fruit.?? I hate to write this paragraph.? But sometimes I feel that some goanetters abuse their right to complain and lie about Goa; that we likely would not accept from outsiders (bhaile).? If that is the case, then Goanet is doing a disservice to Goa and Goans in offering an easy and free medium of communication.? I still have not gotten over the tasteless article written by Vivek Menezes on Goa in TOI on the eve of BRICK summit held in Goa a few years ago. So native Goans should decide and stop talking from both sides of their mouth.? One cannot have ones cake and eat it too!? ?AND DO NOT RELY ON THE GOVERNMENT TO DO IT ALL! However, if the Goanetters realize and appreciate their predicament they created and start reversing their attitude, then it will take a few years to reverse the results.? Plant a garden around your own home. Fix and paint the house.Keep clean roads and proper traffic.Smile and welcome outsiders. (instead of fleecing them) Believe me you yourself will enjoy the fruit of these efforts. Regards, Gilert ===================From: V M? Subject: [Goanet] Goa's Last Stand (Times of India, 02/12/2017) https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/future-of-goa-depends-on-its-hinterlands/articleshow/61886425.cms We are just into the peak tourism season that extends through December to February, and a glaring problem has already made itself apparent. Flights are full, and the beaches are crowded, but the demographics of Goa's marketplace seem irrevocably shifted. There are fewer families,? and far more groups of single male travellers than ever before. There is a visible predominance of visitors from just across state borders with Kerala, Karnataka and Maharashtra, very many of them bus trippers.? The proportion of foreign tourists in Goa is dramatically diminished, and fast dwindling further to no more than? 15%. Last year, the country registered an impressive new record number of foreign visitors, almost nine million in total. Of these, less than 10% came to Goa, only around 6.8 lakh. The rest of India experiences close to 20% growth in international travel demand year in and year out, but Goa is conspicuously left out.? Instead, entirely due to suicidal state and industry policies that have continually degraded the destination to the global bargain basement, there is a continual race to the bottom that is crowded with the lowest-value tourists available anywhere. This is a story of comprehensive mismanagement, carelessness and neglect. At the start of the new millennium, Goa was a genuine international phenomenon ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Sun, 3 Dec 2017 02:57:42 +0530 From: Frederick Noronha <fredericknoron...@gmail.com> To: Goanet <goa...@goanet.org> Subject: [Goanet] High winds alert for Goa coast too...

The event saw the launch of ?Bloom and Blossom? club of adolescents living with HIV by Honourable Minister for Health and Women and Child Development, Government of Goa, Shri Vishwajeet Rane, a presentation by adolescents on the outcome of the consultation organized by Human Touch and Youth LEAD, experience sharing by the adolescents on TeenGen Leadership Course held at Bangkok and a cultural programme. ?Children and adolescents living with HIV have been left behind. They need to be in the focus of the government as well as other organizations, if we are to end AIDS by 2030,? explained Human Touch Treasurer, Dashmi Mandrekar. Fr. Maverick Fernandes, Director of Caritas Goa, spoke on the work by faith-based organizations in response to the needs of children and adolescents. ?I acknowledge all the people who have been supporting us, including the government, in this initiative. We are determined to coordinate a response with others, including the government and give care, love and protection to those in need,? Fr. Maverick reflected. A unique club of adolescents living with HIV, Bloom and Blossom was launched during the programme. ?The concept of adolescent club is to provide a safe space for these adolescents to receive treatment and ensure that health is optimized, and spend some time tending to their emotional needs at this critical time in their lives, where establishing peer relationships is particularly important?, explained Peter F. Borges, CEO of Human Touch. ?We face great difficulties in having our voices heard. We need that seat at the table. We want to speak about our issues. We want those working for us to engage us to drive the response?, expressed Shanku, President of the newly launched club, detailing out the issues faced by them in accessing care and support and coping with HIV and presenting the same to the Health Minister. Speaking on the occasion, Shri Vishwajeet Rane, said ?You are special children and I will do whatever I can to help you cope with better quality of life and will consider facilities needed in the health system. ?I will ensure that AIDS Control Society is once again reorganized so that we can reach out to the people living with HIV. The whole focus will be on providing better quality of life for children living by HIV. I will work towards creating a better environment for them within the framework and funds that are available. I will be putting a monitoring committee in place with different NGOs and like-minded people so that I can deliver and do something to help the people living with HIV.?, Rane concluded. ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Sun, 3 Dec 2017 11:55:22 +0530 From: Aires Rodrigues <airesrodrigu...@gmail.com> To: goanet <goa...@goanet.org> Subject: [Goanet] MEMOIRS OF DECEMBER 1986 Message-ID: <cahriwmh0qzpf-mdyvj2xkygm1zjhp4-povdqd+hpv7i8qeb...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" On the eve of Christmas 1986 during that Konkani agitation, the then Chief Minister Pratapsingh Rane had ordered my detention under the National Security Act (NSA). I was detained as I was on my way to attend the funeral of those Agacaim victims who were killed in a firing encounter. Churchill Alemao's brother late Ciabro and Victoria Fernandes's son Rudolf and myself were all housed at the Aguada jail. It was a forced holiday for us at tax-payer's expense, courtesy Pratapsingh Rane. But we had a good time singing mandos and it was a ball. There was no dearth of choiced food and occasionally beers slipped in which further heightened our spirits. One afternoon as we were having a sing song session the jailor came with a message that the High Court had ordered my release. In compliance with the directive, I had to reluctantly leave and my holiday was abruptly cut short. Ciabro and Rudolf were luckier and were able to spend a couple more days holidaying till their release was ordered.

Goans must open their eyes to see that after 451 years of Portuguese colonization, Goa is presently re-colonized by India much against the UN Charter, through utter defiance, 56 years ago and continuing the destruction of Goa in as many years that the Portuguese could not do so in 451 years.* *It was the Portuguese who accepted Goa?s agrarian institutions, the COMUNIDADES, honoured them and even went a step ahead to codify them through the CODE OF COMUNIDADES to protect them. Enter India and the Goa?s Comunidades are today only the outer shell that were thriving prior to 1964?s Goa Agriculture Tenancy Act.* *Incidentally, India?s representative Mr. C.S.Jha is on record to say, in the UN Security Council meeting No. 987 the following: Quote It is the question of getting rid of the last vestiges of colonialism in India. That is a matter of faith with us. Whatever anyone else may think, Charter or No Charter, Council or No council, that is our basic faith which we cannot afford to give up at any cost. Unquote* *It is a pity that the august General Assembly of the United Nations did not boot out this pariah who defied the Charter that he was supposed to defend. It is a pity also that the UN buckled down to the veto of the USSR which acted as a colluder to save the imminent withdrawal of Indian forces from Goa as required by the resolution that was being debated.* *I guess that the invader which came as the liberator, through the imposition of Martial Law over the supposed liberated Goans, have broken the back-bones of Goans to fight back like East Timoreans who sent back the invading Indonesians after 25 long years of occupation. * *It is also no wonder that India which went as liberators of East Pakistan in 1971 did not stay there. It couldn?t. Because the now Bangladeshis wouldn?t have them even for a day longer than was necessary. But Goans were such wonderful people that they welcomed them, got looted and booted, raped and killed and have still kept quite for the past 56 years not even mustering the GET OUT FROM GOA, even within the confines of their four walls, let alone publicly.* *It is hightime that Goans pick up the courage to say those words now, or sink to the bottom of the India's colonizing mire. And, believe you me, it is not too late.* *Floriano Lobo 9890470896 www.goasu-raj.com <http://www.goasu-raj.com> http://www.goasu-raj.com/gen/display_commentsOnNews_data.asp?pg=3992 <http://www.goasu-raj.com/gen/display_commentsOnNews_data.asp?pg=3992>* ------------------------------ Message: 10 Date: Sun, 3 Dec 2017 07:26:02 +0530 From: Aires Rodrigues <airesrodrigu...@gmail.com> To: goanet <goa...@goanet.org> Subject: [Goanet] THAT FRADULENT NGO NOW STANDS EXPOSED Message-ID: <CAHriWMiEv3Jg0M03dFSoy6kJ1yS8ehi=uyey+lzacdotq0_...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" I would not even waste my time and self esteem commenting on that rabid and very dubious Vasco based NGO which has been hired at a premium price to tirade against me. Their devious gimmicks will not work as the truth cannot be masked. Infact it would be below my dignity and self respect to comment as the nauseating credentials of that NGO are known to all. Even those in the world's oldest profession do it better. God save Goa from such Canines. On a lighter note, that Vasco based NGO after pocketing a handsome packet, burnt my effigy in Panaji. But despite all that illicit fuel poured and wasted, I am still alive, well guarded by the Almighty God and the prayers coupled with the good wishes of Goa's poorest of the poor. Infact it is that profiteering NGO that now stands exposed and charred. Amen Aires Rodrigues Advocate High Court C/G-2, Shopping Complex Ribandar Retreat, Ribandar ?
