University
of Ottawa law professor Errol Mendes has been
accused of playing partisan politics, siding with
the Taliban against Canadian soldiers and aiding
terrorists. He gets vicious hate mail, and at first
thought it might not be a good idea to have his
picture taken.
The reason? A constitutional law expert, Mendes has
argued that Parliament has a right and a duty to
examine uncensored documents that might reveal
whether Afghans captured by Canadian troops were
later tortured in Afghan prisons.
On the technical side of the law, he is arguing for
the supremacy of Parliament. In his conscience, he’s
arguing for Christ.

Curtains may have come down on the season this year

GSHDC to have

The Goa State Horticultural Development Corporation

Corporation chairman Deepak Dhavlikar, the
corporation already has the space and a shed at
Chimbel but only technical help is found waiting. "We
have all necessary material to ripen fruit," said
the chairman. Every year the 'king of fruits' mango
makes its way into the Goan market despite the fact
the high rates dig holes in the common man's
pocket. This despite the common knowledge that the
fruits in the market are often chemically
ripened. Not just mangoes but also bananas are
chemically ripened possibly affecting the health of
the people, who consume it.

Rampaging sea
threatens beaches, coastal houses in Canacona
Monsoons may be yet to fully hit the State, but the
Arabian Sea has certainly blown to its abnormality
at this time of the year, threatening the existence
of beaches and some coastal houses in Canacona
taluka. For the last four days, rains have eluded
Canacona taluka, but this has not averted the sea
rampage on the entire sea coast, almost threatening
the very survival of beaches. Arabian Sea has gone
wild enough and exceptionally violent in Canacona,
as huge waves have already begun to pound the shore
causing extensive sand erosion, especially during
high tide on most of the beaches, informed
sources. According to reports, beaches at Agonda,
Colomb, Patnem, Gagibaga and Talpona are threatened
with anticipation of severe sand erosions.

Fuel pumps at the jetties will also be sealed and
oil companies have been asked not to supply diesel
to these pumps during the period. Verenkar said the
coastal police has been asked to keep vigil on major
fish landing centres in Goa and that the coast guard
has also been requested to assist in the enforcement
of the ban. The fishing ban applies to all
mechanized fishing vessels or trawlers and also to
canoes fitted with outboard motors of over 10
horsepower.

First Food with Cholesterol-lowering claim now
available in Canada
Health Canada allows claim typically associated with
pharmaceutical products to be added to certain foods
TORONTO, June 10 /CNW/ -
Canadian adults with
elevated cholesterol can now go to their grocery
store to purchase a food product shown to help lower
cholesterol. For the first time, Health Canada has
approved the sale of foods fortified with plant
sterols and allowed claims to assist consumers to
understand the role and function of sterols in their
diet. With more than 40 per cent of Canadians aged
20 to 79 having an unhealthy level of total
cholesterol, this provides a new option to support
overall cholesterol management.
Exhaustion, high blood pressure, heart disease, high
cholesterol and diabetes. These are the common
problems we associate with excess weight and
obesity. But did you know that the danger stretches
far beyond these “usual suspects?” Many obese people
also suffer from liver and gallbladder disease,
sleep apnea, breathing problems, some types of
cancer - and many women even experience infertility.
One cup of cooked medium-grain white rice has
169 calories, 3.5 grams protein, 1.7 grams fiber,
while the same amount of cooked medium-grain brown
rice has 218 calories. 4.5 grams protein, and 3.5
grams fiber
Did you know that worldwide there are more than
40,000 different varieties of rice? Rice comes in a
rainbow of colors and flavors and almost every
culture on Earth has incorporated rice into their
diet. For more than half of the world's population
rice is a staple and, according to the
World Food Grid [1], 20% of the total food
energy intake in the world comes from rice. In Asia
alone, more than 2 billion people get up to 70
percent of their daily dietary energy from rice and
its by-products.
