WHAT'S
INTERESTING & ON-GOING FOR THIS WEEK IN GOA
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON VISUAL COMPUTING
(ICVC 99) IN GOA:
The verdant, salubrious coastal state of Goa, with its idyllic palm-fringed
beaches, has always been a visual delight.
Goa plays host to visual
treats of a completely different kind: The International
Conference on
Visual Computing held at Cidade de Goa beach resort from Feb.23-29,
1999.
Renowned world experts in several areas of visual computing are slated
to
present papers and speak at the conference.
The ten themes of the conference will include digital story telling,
3D
geometry, animation, image-based modelling and rendering, Web-based
graphics, virtual environments, & applications in education and
training.
Commenting on the importance of the conference, NCST associate director
S P Mudur, who is also the program chair for ICVC99, says that the
next era
will be dubbed the era of visual computing.
"All leading computer hardware and software manufacturers have
predicted
this to be the most important technology of the coming decade.Technological
developments that enable computing with visuals are making possible
a new
revolution," says Mudur. "This new revolution is about real-time access
&
sharing of digital information consisting not only of texts and sounds
but
powerful realistic or imagined visuals and explorable 3D
worlds,
enabling truly interactive multiparticipant, multi-sensory, multimodal
and multimedia communication."
The conference has attracted some of the biggest names in visual computing
from all over the world. Oscar award-winning researcher Ken Perlin,
known
for his contributions in the development of mathematical techniques
for
generation of special effects; and Jose Encarnacao, a SIGGRAPH
award-
winner in Web-based graphics and tele-collaboration, will be among
the
star speakers at ICVC 99. For details, call NCST on 6201606
or e-mail: icvc99@konark.ncst.ernet.in.

O N G O A
- FROM A VISITOR'S POINT OF VIEW
It is true that it is almost impossible to truly understand the dificul-
ties and their magnitude ... from a distance. No amount of meetings
with
any number of lawyers, politicians, activists, civil servants or regular
Goan folk can give us a full picture of the struggle.
Even so - and I stand corrected by folks who know more about this -
but
the following is a gist of the problem - as we see it.
1. Goa is going through a process of serious environmental degeneration
and degradation.
2. The major culprits are big business and the construction
industry
with tacit support from politicians and civil
servants at various
levels.
3. Selfless volunteers like M3 and the Goa Foundation
have to fight
- often in the courts- to overcome or stem the flow of this degenerative
process.
4. The public at large is not very conscious about the happenings as
The
Press which is incidently owned by big business is at best "sluggish
in
its support" and at worst "excellent in marginalizing
the activists".
5. The powers-that-be are 'supersensitive' to the
criticism and take
criticism personally - either unwilling or unable to
understand that
what is being criticized is the idea and not the person ! Criticism
is
also conveniently labelled as "anti National or anti development ".
A point is made about the jobs which will be created for
Goa..... and
yet as the experience of the miserably filthy Konkan railway
has shown
... very few jobs have been created for Goans; the only prominent thing
which has happened is that the Goan environment has been damaged.
Unfortunately for Goa and the environmentalists - there
are scores of
problems to deal with..... it is just a flood of problems and
a deluge
of obstacles.
Trust that you will join Rene Baretto and Goans International in sending
an overt message of encouragement on Goa Net to the brave Goan
Environmentalists.

INDO-EUROPEAN STUDIES:
The Institute of Indo-European Studies, Goa, proposes to run two
specialised courses from 1-7-99. Course 1 will comprise a series
of
extention lectures
on contemporary Europe. Course 2. is on theory and practice of translation
from Konkani into English, French, German, Portuguese and vice versa.
___________________________________________________________
Eight (8) Principles for Increasing Your Sales Success:
1. BE A GOOD LISTENER. Picture what the other person is saying as the
key
to a treasure chest which holds an immeasurable amount
of treasure.
2. SPEAK TO PEOPLE IN THEIR LANGUAGE. Trying to impress with the technical
jargon of your industry does nothing but turn people off.
3. LET PEOPLE TELL YOU WHAT THEY NEED. Be vulnerable, be honest. “I'd
like
to hear from you what you need from us.”
4. BE A SOLUTION PROVIDER. Create value in yourself, and your product
by
working to find solutions to your customers' challenges.
5. BE EXTERNALLY FOCUSED. Concentrate on other people's needs. You'll
be
surprised how your needs are met as a result.
6. UNCOVER EMOTIONS. Behind every buying decision, there is an underlying
emotion. Uncovering that emotion is powerful.
7. DON'T TAKE PEOPLE FOR GRANTED. Show appreciation for everyone you
come
in contact with. Imagine a sign on the forehead of every
person you
meet, which reads:“Make me feel important!” then follow
its instructions!
8. BE GENUINE. Reveal yourself. People like dealing with fellow “humans”
— it's a lot more comfortable, and enjoyable.

GOA POLITICAL SCENARIO ..... FOLLOW-UP TO EVENTS & RECENT HAPPENINGS
***********************
From G O A P O S T, Panaji: Issue dated Feb 19-25, 1999
***********************
* Goa is seeing a rush for party tickets. Behind the scene canvassing
and
lobbying has started and cut throat competition is going on between
former
MLAs and new htmlirants.
* Congress, divided into several groups, is facing major problems in
satisfying different leaders.
* With Dr Wilfred de Souza out of the race for Congress chief ministerships,
other CM-hopefuls include Pratapsing Rane, Dayanand Narvekar, Luizinho
Faleiro, Shantaram Naik and Nirmala Sawant.
* Some industrialists are also trying for Somnath Zuwarkar to take
over the
leadership of the Congress legislature party after the polls.
* For Congress leaders in Goa, the greatest fear is the implementation
of
the *Panchmari formula* (named after the venue of a recent Congress
national
meet) which allocates one-third of seats to women, some to youth, backward
communities and minorities.
* If this formula is applied, some 20 to 25 of Goa's 40 seats will
go to
these reserved sections, thus bringing in new faces.
* Many politicians also want early elections because of the fear of
the
Damocles sword of election reforms over their head. These reforms have
been
advocated by prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and the Election
Commission,
in the hope of cleaning the existing poll system of money, musclepower
and
criminals.
* Cadre-based BJP is also facing problems, after admitting certain
persons
with a Congress- culture into the party.
* Sangh Parivar members are stepping up pressure on the BJP to select
their
hardcore members as candidates. They feel that unless a *Hindutva*
policy is
enforced in Goa, they will not get more seats, with the MGP trying
to win
over non-Brahmin (Bahujan Samaj) votes.
* The MGP has changed its strategy. It is trying to have an alliance
with
the UGDP and the Goa Rajiv Congress, hoping that the alliance will
bring the
Hindu and Christian Bahujan Samaj together.
* Alliance partners are having meetings to finalise their strategy
and select
tentative andidates.
* If politicians all want early elections, the people and many organisations
have suggested that elections be held after the monsoons so that clean
persons are elected to the Goa assembly.
* Some citizens also demanded that developmental works be finished
before
the monsoon, which they fear will be delayed if the government
machinery is
kept busy once the poll process begins before the monsoons.
* NARVEKAR FOR ALDONA_ Former deputy chief minister Dayanand Narvekar
is
very apprehensive of his victory in Tivim constituency, and is therefore
making moves to shift to Aldona. Voters told GoaPost they were not
satisfied
with the functioning of the former deputy CM. People specially from
Nadora,
Colvale, Assonora and partly Tivim are likely to deviate away
from him.
Chances of winning in Aldona constituency seem to be bright,
as development
works in Aldona have taken a backseat over the last 10 years.
* There is also another possibility of Dr Wilfred de Souza contesting
against
Narvekar, wherever he goes to contest, so as to get rid of this Duler-based
shrewd politician.

"Cooking for the Empty Nest"
- Recipe of the Week
CHICKEN WITH FETA CHEESE
This is a wonderful braised chicken dish, with onions, tomatoes and
feta
cheese which melts into the meat and sauce.
Be sure to use imported feta, moist and salty, and have
only very juicy
tomatoes to give off plenty of liquids; that is why most of the time
Use canned tomatoes and their juices, since most fresh tomatoes are
good
only at the peak of the season.
Ingredients:
3 Pound Chicken - Cut into 8 pieces - breast halves boned and skinned
3 Tablespoons olive oil
4 Medium size yellow onions - sliced
17 Ounce can plum tomatoes or 1 1/2 pounds fresh tomatoes 2 Garlic
cloves
-minced 1/2 Tehtmloon dried oregano 1/2 Tehtmloon salt 1/2 Pound feta
cheese
-cut into paper thin slices Freshly ground black pepper - to taste.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12 inch heavy or
cast iron skillet.
When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the 2 chicken breast pieces
and
cook them for 30 seconds on each side. Remove them to a plate &
reserve
to finish cooking later because chicken breasts cook
faster than dark
meat. Brown the rest of the chicken pieces until golden brown
(15 to 20
minutes) over medium heat, turning the pieces over occasionally.
Transfer the chicken pieces to a plate. Add sliced onions to the skillet
with remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Stir onions constantly
and cook
for 15 minutes until slightly coloured.
If using fresh tomatoes, drop them in boiling water for 30 seconds,remove
from water, peel & chop retaining their juices, or use a
17 ounce can of
plum tomatoes with their juices. Stir the tomatoes
and juice into the
onions; add the minced garlic and oregano. Put the chicken pieces
(minus
the breast pieces) on the onions and tomatoes. Sprinkle 1/2 tehtmloon
salt
and freshly ground pepper over chicken pieces.
Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 30 minutes with the surface
bubbling gently.
After 30 minutes, bury the chicken breast in the onions and tomatoes,
and
add the juices on the plate to the skillet. Totally cover the chicken
pieces with the paper-thin slices of feta cheese.
Cover and continue cooking for 15 more minutes. The feta will melt
over
the chicken and into the sauce. Serves 4.
Serve this dish right from the skillet with rice or noodles, my
favorite
is spinach fettuccine. You may well want to make this dish more than
once
during the year, and do invite friends over as it is worth sharing.
Enjoy!
