Re: [chottala.com] Memory Lane : Koko's corruption on FBI website




This is really funny, How Khaleda urging to give her another chance for stealing people's money.

"CHORER MAR BARA GALA", this is 100% true to Khaleda who alongwith her corrupted sons sucked to their utmost during her tenure. Now again she is in quest of sucking the blood of innocent people of Bangladesh.

May God give her good sense.

Koko's corruption on FBI website

Sun, 26/06/2011 - 12:15am | by priyodesk

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had put up the corruption story of BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia's youngest son Arafat Rahman Koko on its website much before the Bangladesh court sentenced him for six years in jail on Thursday for laundering Taka 20 crore to Singapore.


The US conducted massive investigation into the bribery through federal agencies and recover the money because those were paid in US dollars involving American intermediary banks and it went in line with US's 2006 policies to 'internationalize efforts against kleptocracy' to fight high-level corruption around the world.
The FBI in its link http://www.fbi.gov/washingtondc/press-releases/2009/wfo010909.htm put the detail story of the bribery as the US Department of Justice sought to recover approximately three million dollars from the foreign bribe payments deposited to Koko's joint account in Singapore.

According to the website, the justice department filed a forfeiture action against Koko's accounts worth nearly three million dollars that are alleged to be the proceeds of a wide-ranging conspiracy to favour two foreign companies to achieve
deals and earn commissions from two separate public sector projects.

Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew Friedrich of the Criminal Division announced that the forfeiture action was filed on January 8, 2009, in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia against funds located in Singapore held by Koko and his multiple bank accounts.

FBI said the forfeiture complaint relates primarily to bribes paid to Arafat Rahman "Koko", the son of the former Bangladesh prime minister Begum Khaleda Zia, in connection with projects awarded to German Siemens AG and China Harbor Engineering Company.

According to the complaint, the majority of funds in Koko's account were traceable to bribes allegedly received in connection with the China Harbor project, which was a project to build New Mooring container terminal at Chittagong port.

"This action shows the lengths to which U.S. law enforcement will go to recover the proceeds of foreign corruption, including acts of bribery and money laundering," said Matthew Friedrich in 2009.

"Not only will the Department, for example, prosecute companies and executives who violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, we will also use our forfeiture laws to recapture the illicit facilitating payments often used in such schemes," Mathew vowed.

Siemens Aktiengesellschaft (Siemens AG) and three of its subsidiaries pleaded guilty on December 15, 2009, to violations of and charges related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).

Specifically, Siemens Bangladesh admitted that from May 2001 to August 2006, it caused corrupt payments of at least 5,319,839 Dollars to be made through purported business consultants to various Bangladeshi officials in exchange for favorable treatment during the bidding process on a mobile telephone project. At
least one payment to each of these purported consultants was paid from a U.S. bank account.

According to the forfeiture complaint, the bribe payments from Siemens AG and China Harbor Engineering Company were made in U.S. dollars, and the illicit funds flowed through financial institutions in the United States before they were deposited in Koko and his partner's accounts in Singapore, thereby subjecting
them to U.S. jurisdiction.

The Bangladesh anti corruption commission (ACC) filed case against Koko on March 17, 2009, pinpointing his involvement in bribery from two government projects- building a new container terminal and establishing a state owned mobile phone company.

The anti corruption watchdog said the money were siphoned off to Koko's Singapore account. Before the FBI website uploading of the Koko's corruption story a World Bank-UNODC publication also mentioned the alleged embezzlement of three million dollars by BNP chief Khaleda Zia's younger son as an example of stealing national assets.

Titled "Asset Recovery Handbook," the publication was released two days ago in Vienna and obtained by BSS. It was prepared under the Stolen Asset Recovery (StAR) Initiative of the WB in association with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).

The 270-page book cited Arafat Rahman Koko's case on page 53 and page 196 while discussing the issues relating to prosecution of accounting and establishing jurisdiction for legal proceedings.

Koko is now a fugitive and been reportedly living in Malaysia, where he moved from Thailand, a place he was allowed to stay and seek treatment for his ill health. He was arrested on September 2, 2007 and was released on parole for treatment in Bangkok on July 17, 2008. His parole expired on August 19, 2010 and was asked to return home immediately.

[chottala.com] Harmful affects of plastic, Electricity etc



Eating Hot Food in Plastic Plates or storing Hot Food in Plastic Bowls, use of Plastic Utensils for Hot Food etc can cause emission of dangerous Gases from them otherwise, there is no problem using them for non Hot Food.
.
* Plastics emit a small quantity of Estrogen and this Element makes Humans taller or bigger. This is why most Humans on this planet have grown bigger than their grandparents and parents since use of Plastics started in this world.
* All old Olympic Records have been broken and are being broken every time Olympics are held because they were made by smaller or less strong Humans.

* Cancer had started increasing after wide use of Electricity increased in world.
* People should avoid living too close to High Tension Wires and even Domesticated Animals grazing near such High Wire Towers can have births of deformed Babies, not only Humans.
* People should not have their Beds next an Electrical Outlet.
* People should not sit or sleep behind a Tube TV in use even if there is a Wall in between. Find out where is your neighbor's TV if you have common dividing Walls ...!
* Safe Distance from Microwave Oven, tube TV, Tube Computer Monitor should be maintained.
* Stop using Tube Radio, TV or Computer Monitors etc. Use Flat Screens only ...!

Re: [chottala.com] Re: Famous Scientist - Jagdish Chandra Bose ...

I am basing my conclusions based on things I heard of in my school days. I also studied in a Catholic school in Bangladesh where we as it was Board mandated in text book called SOBUJ SATHI. I may even be able to locate the class room I read Bose biography at..it was one of those class room next to St Placid Schools Canteen. I also did see the picture in the email where it demonstrate his model of Radio..in recent web search as I am searching this patent issue..

Earlier Mr Sayeed blew off my mentioning of MODHUSHUDHAN with relates to this as he stated MODHUSUDHAN was much earlier then J. C Bose..to be honest their is a long story why MODHUSUDHAN became MICHAEL..he also knew SUKANTO the Other Poet. Who was from FARIDPUR,not far from where Sheikh Mujib is from. SUKANTO used to edit a a Communist News Paper..we all know how young SUKANTO was when he died..

I think this is the crucks of the matter what Communist would go to destroy CAPITALISM as it is known as..part of how SUKANTO died though J.C Bose may not be directly related to SUBHASH or AMAR..I think at least SUBASH was influenced by Communist Movement...thus many in our continent are known as left wing politicians that are hope Lesley against many things..it is these Communist Business that contributed to Sukantos death, and un knowingly Modhusudhon played role in that death, he found out what killed Sukanto was his wealthy parents main business..Sukanto was staying in Calcutta with his mothers relatives..thus  as it is also known in case of MODHUSHUDHAN went into as many do in soul searching..

Interesting J.C Bose did not wish to file for patent..may wonder why..does any one in his estate know how and what and etc that inspired him to develop what he made as it is described the difference in time period..between Bose Demo and Modhushudhan Demo..some how I believe version I heard of week apart is more to the truth..I think actual models had give and take between both thru same circle of friends..

I Think among many Things Bose issue with many things fueled the anti British activism..if not J C Bose himself..his wife or family  or friends..specially Subash Bose it will be insane not to know of Subash Bose as he was of that era..Subash Bose was married to an AUSTRIAN female .. Israelis love Subash as they fought the British too..I think Subash Bose wife being Jewish was bigger factor..

It is more amazing of story the death of DINESH CHANDRA..what lead up to it...and the same pursuit that eventually lead to HIROSIMA / NAGASAKI..it is the continuous  development of same GAMA RAY as it involves heat and SUBASH BOSE went to JAPAN..thru AFGHANISTAN with the purpose to get help from JAPANESE ARMY to dispose of British of India..this Japan issue is more old issue for GUNOMEJU why he had to leave Sri Lanka..it is the pursuit..

Any how one things is for sure..I think how to make the prototype was all dictated in the coded telex..I think it will undisputed the J C BOSE will get the credit..for deciphering, the Morris Coded telex sent by Dinesh Chadra..as directed by his father.. 

as I understand if you can contribute to a line in song that sells well..you will be entitled to that amount of song proceed ..thus Bose will get the compensation for his work...unless some one else..has other claims..

About this OLI issue, in some ways I believe it too..how Modhusudhan came to know of JC Boses intent who else the home town rival of Indu Bhushan in relation is In law the other principal Shudhagshu Bimal Barua found out..

Jagdish Chandra Bose


What happens if you take a rich magistrate's son and make him learn in a village school sitting besides the sons of servants and fishermen? He'll hear tales of birds and animals that make him curious about Nature. And that makes him one of India's first scientists - Jagdish Chandra Bose.

Early days

Jagdish Chandra was born on November 30, 1858. He was educated first at the village school in Faridpur, where his father was a magistrate, Bhagwan Chandra Bose. Later he went to Hare and St. Xavier's, Calcutta's leading English-medium schools. In 1875, he was admitted to St. Xavier's College, Calcutta, and graduated in 1879.

There he met Father Eugene Lafont, who was very interested in promoting modern science in India. He later went to the UK, where he got degrees from the universities of Cambridge and London. He also met Prafulla Chandra Ray, another pioneer of Indian science.

He came back and was made a Professor of Physics at Presidency College on the Viceroy's recommendation. However, the principal and other faculty, who were White, were very racially biased against him and gave only an acting appointment. They denied him any laboratory facilities, but he carried on his research work, buying equipment with his own salary.

Bose's Radio

In 1895, J.C. Bose made a public demonstration, in presence of the Lt. Governor of Bengal, of wireless radio. However, his discovery was mostly ignored, and the credit went to Guglielmo Marconi, who made a demonstration in 1897. However, scientists around the world now acknowledge him as the true pioneer. (There's another Bose - Amar Bose - who is also famous for advances in speaker and radio technology, but he's not related to J.C. Bose. And despite similar names, J.C. Bose isn't related to Netaji S.C. Bose either.)

One of the things you need for a successful radio transmission is a 'coherer', which is needed to detect radio waves. Though Bose had invented one, he was unwilling to patent it. He thought science was for the benefit of humankind, and one should not make money from it. However, under pressure from his friends, he finally submitted a patent application to the US patent office, (even today, US patents are among the most important patents). On 29 March 1904 he became the first Indian to get a US patent, for his "detector for electrical disturbances".

Between his experiments, Bose also found time to write science fiction in Bengali. His famous story Polatok Tufan describes how a cyclone was stopped using a bottle of hair oil (Since it's known that oil stills the surface of water by changing surface tension).

Research into Plant Intelligence

J.C. Bose switched his attention to plants, and how they respond to stimuli. How do they respond to the sun's movement through the day? How do they react to wounds, pesticides, insects etc? He discovered that electrical signals passed between plant cells, making him wonder whether they had a nervous system. He invented a machine called the crescograph to study all this. He also discovered that they grew well if exposed to pleasant music!

Bose's crescograph:
Though J.C. Bose wrote three books on the subject, like the radio, his research was ignored. One of the reasons was that discovery of plant hormones (chemical signallers) shifted a lot of attention away from electrical impulses. However, his findings are now back in vogue, as new research into electro-static signals in plants have proved him right.

Honours

J.C. Bose was knighted in 1917 and became an FRS in 1920. In 1958, on his Birth Centenary, the Jagadis Bose National Science Talent Search Scholarship was created to "select students with special aptitude for science and providing a scheme for counselling, conserving and helping this most precious resource, namely, human talent, which is necessary for building up the nation, by award of scholarship and otherwise". As a pioneer, J.C. Bose has remained an inspiration to thousands of Indian students aspiring to a career in science.
