Peace moves with Pakistan hit after blasts-India PM
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/07/18/AR2006071800697.html
Reuters
Tuesday, July 18, 2006; NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Indian Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh said on Tuesday India would have to
review its relations with Pakistan after last week's Mumbai
blasts but that the two countries needed to live in peace.
"I think the dialogue process has suffered," Singh said. "I
wouldn't say a setback, but it is inevitable in the light
of this ghastly tragedy, we should reflect on our relations
with Pakistan."

Humanitarian Situation in Gaza and
Lebanon - World Vision Statement
Excerpts
MISSISSAUGA, ON, July 19 /CNW/
- "World Vision is gravely concerned with the deteriorating
humanitarian situations in Gaza, Lebanon and northern
Israel, particularly the condition of children.
World Vision condemns the use of armed violence, especially
as directed against civilians, and urges all parties to
declare an immediate ceasefire. It is the most vulnerable -
children and other civilians - who experience the greatest
suffering in these situations. Since June, no fewer than 20
children in Gaza have been killed, adding to the 121
Israeli and 734 Palestinian children killed since September
2000. In the recent fighting between Israel and Hezbollah,
several children have been killed on both sides, many more
have been injured, and an untold number are living in fear.
We mourn for all those killed and are deeply concerned with
the lasting impact of this violence on the affected
populations.
It is the responsibility of all parties to this conflict to
protect the rights of children in conflict situations. Both
Israel and Lebanon have ratified the Convention on the
Rights of the Child, which stipulates that States Parties
have an obligation under international humanitarian law to
take all feasible measures to ensure protection and care of
children who are affected by an armed conflict. In addition
to the States Parties, non-state actors should be held
accountable for actions or omissions that abrogate these
rights.

Condo craze continues with 41 per cent increase
http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/July2006/19/c7925.html?view=print
New condo sold every four
minutes in June
TORONTO, July 19 /CNW/
- There were more new high-rise condominium suites sold in
the Greater Toronto Area in June than ever before as condo
sales smashed the all-time record for market share, Desi
Auciello, president of the Greater Toronto Home Builders'
Association, said today.
"With an all-time high 2,397 new high-rise condos sold in
June, home buyers were snapping up a new condo every four
minutes the sales offices were open," said Auciello.
High-rise unit sales were up a whopping 41 per cent while
total new home sales were up just two per cent as a result
of an offsetting 28 per cent decline in low-rise
(single-detached, semi-detached and townhome) sales.
According to RealNet Canada Inc., the association's
independent source of new home market information, an
astounding six out of every ten (60 per cent) new homes
sold in June were high-rise suites.
"Frankly, we never thought we'd see the day when low-rise
product would represent the minority of our sales,
particularly to this extent," Auciello stated. The previous
high-rise market share peak was 46 per cent while the
annual average (2005) is 42 per cent.
Auciello attributed the continuing condo craze to
affordability and choice. "As house prices rise, home
buyers seeking a toehold in the market are obviously
turning in increasing numbers to the condo market," said
Auciello, noting that the RealNet new home price index for
high-rise condos ($314,370) is $80,000 less than for
low-rise homes ($393,398). |

Irreplaceable Institutions
From:
http://www.the-examiner.org/editorial.asp
Fr Anthony Charanghat
Pope Benedict XVI, who visited Valencia, Spain to close
the fifth Catholic World Meeting of Families, was
dauntless in defending the Catholic teaching on marriage
and the family. Spain, once the bastion of Roman
Catholicism, has drifted away from the Church and has cut
religious education in schools. Its present government
besides legalizing same sex marriages has introduced
fast-track divorce, medically assisted fertilization and
embryo stem cell research. It also permits abortion. In
such a hostile atmosphere, the Pope did not hesitate to
bravely drive home the message that hails traditional
marriage and the family as irreplaceable institutions in
God’s plan.
At an evening celebration with pilgrims from around the
world, he urged people to celebrate with great joy God’s
gift of the family. Insisting that marriage must be
between man and woman, he said, “According to human
nature, it is man and woman who are made for each other
and to give humanity a future.” He underlined that the
family is itself based primarily on a deep interpersonal
relationship between husband and wife and sustained by
affection and mutual understanding. This is only possible
if the union of man and woman receive abundant help in the
Sacrament of Matrimony, which brings with it a true
vocation to holiness.

GOA YES!
GOANS NO!
D. FERNANDES
From:
http://oheraldo.in/node/15495
Tom Agshekar's remarks (Goa's politicians ----OHeraldO
June 21) are indeed the sentiments and frustrations of so
many Goans, both inside and outside of Goa. With the
exception of a few families and their wealth - mostly
inherited from their parents or priests uncles (in case of
Catholic Goans) - most of Goans are poor and right now
their equally poor parents are selling everything, or
pawning their gold to get the necessary cash to make their
son a seaman or a "slave" of a sheikh in Saudi Arabia,
Dubai, or other Gulf area.
There are agents with diabolic schemes to make money in
this enterprise. So many times, the so-called-agents have
disappeared overnight after collecting huge amounts of
money from the ordinary folks. I know of a widow whom I
have given some money for their survival. But, instead,
she gave that money to an agent who promised her son the
kingdom of Abu Dhabi. Her gold is gone. Her money is gone.
She lost everything on account of her son who was trying
to go to the Arab lands to find a job through those
thieves, called agents who closed their shutters overnight
and disappeared in the putrid thickness of Mumbai-an
polluted air.
While most of Goans are looking to get out of Goa for
jobs, the foreigners (from India) are flocking to Goa to
fill various positions that the Goans will never get. The
head of departments are foreigners (from India). Those
foreigners will never give a chance to Goans. Those
foreigners (from India) want Goa, but they do not want
Goans! The intervention of our elected Goans is necessary.
I know some of them are very much involved to help Goans
whichever way they can. I saw with my own eyes, Minister
Felipe Neri Rodrigues, working very hard in this
direction. Of course, there must be others too. I do not
know them as I came to know Mr. Rodrigues.
Goan and a seaman - was almost synonimous for a long time.
Even that is being taken over by foreigners (from India)!
I see in Miami how the foreigners (from India) are seen
everywhere. These foreigners know how to make money and
have their own shops and convenience stores. There are
hundreds of Goans who jumped their ships and now are
working for Bangladeshis (the poorest nation in Asia),
Pakistanis, and Gujaratis in their convenience stores and
gas stations.
They work like never stopping machines. I know they need
money. And, their first priority with that money is to
build a big house and to celebrate the feast of their
patron saint with extraordinary expenses! Most of Goan
priests love that Portuguese
poor-making-tradition-of-pomp-and-circumstances! In many
occasions, I think, we Goans have to blame ourselves for
spending our money uselessly in fiestas. There are
hundreds and thousands of widows and orphan children in
every parish in Goa. Instead of helping those families
(especially in their education) Goans enjoy burning their
monies in parish "festas" for a mere show-off! Last April,
after years of absence, I was concelebrating a Mass with
other priests including the parish priest. The blasting of
the "foznem" so close to the walls of the Church,
frightened me. I requested the parish priest to stop those
blasts. The parish priest told me; "it's a tradition!"
In the name of tradition, some of our parish priests also
become uneducated and become part of culture of ignorance
and arrogance. We cannot blame the foreigners (from India)
all the time. Quite often, we, Goans have to blame
ourselves. This is a very good topic for a further
exploration. |

Goan Engineer A Casualty
In Mumbai Blasts
BY HERALD REPORTER
MARGAO, JULY 14 — Every year, Ranjan Rohidas
Naik (42) would normally join his family back home in his
village of Assolna to celebrate the Ganesh Chathurti festival.
His family, however, would miss his presence this ensuing
Chathurti as Tuesday’s serial train bomb blasts in the
metropolis took away the life of this young Goan engineer
employed with a telecommunications company.
Ranjan — working as a deputy manager in a telecommunication
company at Churchgate — was proceeding home to Virar as usual,
when the train he was travelling was ripped apart when it
reached Mahim, killing him and many others.
Ranjan is survived by his wife and a son. His family members,
including brother Sachitanand, rushed to Mumbai a day ago on
hearing the shocking news, but could not bring the badly
mutiliated body home for last rites.
A pall of gloom descended in the Naik family and in the
neighbourhood with the tragic death of Ranjan Naik. Family
sources said that Ranjan did not turn up home at Virar on
Tuesday evening after the serial blasts, and the family’s
worst fears came true after his body was identified among the
dead on Wednesday evening.
Sachitanand, who returned back home this evening, informed
that the last rites were performed in Mumbai itself. |

ZUARI
BRIDGE TO BE FIT BY AUGUST: DHAVLIKAR
PANJIM: PWD Minister
Sudhin Dhavlikar told the Goa Assembly on July 18 that the
Zuari bridge would be 'restrengthened' and thrown open for
heavy vehicles (up to 12 tonnes) latest by August this year.
He also informed that work of the 700-metre long two-lane
steel bridge across river Zuari costing Rs.40 crore would be
built within four months. He said that though the state
government had invited tenders for building the cable-stayed
bridge following Span Consultancy report, the MoRTH asked them
to keep the proposal in abeyance following state government's
plans to construct a four-lane road. (GT) |

Candolim beach going,
going...gone
 CANDOLIM:
A rampaging sea has destroyed more than a kilometre of the
scenic Candolim beach, adjoining Calangute, and the continuing
mayhem has spread panic among the villagers and a section of
the tourism industry. Once a popular beach with undulating
sand dunes capped with green vegetation and not fully
concretised, the ghastly disfigurement of the beach is to be
seen to be believed. From the Kalamari restaurant (also
southwards of the grounded vessel "River Princess" to the Taj
Holiday Village gates, the beach is totally inaccessible
barring only a couple of places, and one has either to leap
from the top or slide down to get to the water line, but
climbing back is unthinkable. (Paul Fernandes, GT) |
| |
Candolim may not be
normal beach: Experts
CANDOLIM: The damage caused to Candolim beach by sea
erosion during this monsoon is considerable and though all
beaches undergo varying degrees of mutilation and grow back
after the rains, most of the scars here may remain, according
to experts. "It may not be a normal beach again," says Dr
Kasturi Desai, a sand dune expert. "The erosion is a great one
and the destruction is more due to human intervention," she
says. A landward incursion of two to three metres is a natural
phenomenon during the rains, but the process of restoration
occurs naturally. However, the sea has gobbled at least seven
metres of the beach. Its aesthetic value has been marred by
the ruining of sand dune vegetation, which may take years to
grow back. (Paul Fernandes, GT) |

been short-listed and the last date for submission of

Cardinal Ivan Dias – The Global Indian
From:
http://www.the-examiner.org/letters.asp
Sir, This is with reference to the news item: ”Indians leave
mark in world Catholic orders” (The Times of India, June 30,
2006). The article states that while Indians are making their
mark globally in different spheres they are also gaining
prominence in different institutions of the Catholic Church.
Today, there are more Indians in senior positions in the
Vatican and other Catholic orders and institutions than ever
before. The article then goes on to list several Indians who
head various institutions and Catholic orders, culminating
with ‘Our man in Rome’ Cardinal Ivan Dias who took over as
Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples,
said to be the number 3 position in the pecking order at the
Vatican. Fr Francis de Mello, provincial of the Jesuits in
Mumbai attributes this phenomena to the fact that the world is
recognising that Indians are capable of excellent work.
Let us not forget, however, that if Catholic Indians are
gaining ground globally, due credit must also go to our
country. That such a small minority can grow and flourish in a
predominantly Hindu country is the ultimate tribute to
‘SECULAR’ India.
Give me one country in the entire world where a miniscule
minority of little over two percent Catholics, are given two
national holidays—Christmas and Good Friday!
A few political activists, within and without, should not lead
us to lose sight of the larger picture.

Vanuatu high, Canada low on 'Happy Planet Index'
Wed, 12 Jul 2006
From: CBC News
Excerpts:
Vanuatu in the South Pacific tops a new survey that measures
the success of countries, based on people's happiness and
how well they treat the Earth.
Produced by the U.K.-based New Economics Foundation (NEF)
and the global environmental group Friends of the Earth, the
"Happy Planet Index" was released on Wednesday.
"The index doesn't reveal the 'happiest' country in the
world," said the report.
It essentially divides the environmental damage countries
cause by the life expectancy and life satisfaction of its
citizens.
Vanuatu scored well in the area of overall life
satisfaction, but was below average in life expectancy.

Bathroom Survey
says...English Canadians smellier than French Canadians;
Americans smellier than Canadians
Irreverent survey gives the scoop on the
North American poop
TORONTO, July 19 /CNW/ - The results from the 'Be an Odour
Voter' campaign by emerging air-care brand Just'a Drop are in
- and point the finger at Americans as being the smelliest in
the bathroom. Some 47% of Americans who participated in the
survey admitted that five minutes or longer was required
before someone else could safely enter the bathroom after
them, compared to 41% of Canadians. Of the Canadians polled,
42% of English respondents admitted to needing five minutes or
more to clear the air, while only 35% of French respondents
required the same time - making English Canadians the
smelliest in the country.
Almost 60% of French Canadian participants admitted to being
public avoiders, and of those respondents most avoided using
the toilet at bars/nightclubs (38%) and restaurants (27%). Of
the English public avoiders, most reported avoiding 'number
two' in their place of business (42%).
