[chottala.com] Bangladesh permits India transhipment via its port



Bangladesh permits India limited transhipment via its port





Bangladesh may let India tranship 35,000 tonnes of food grains through Ashuganj port to Tripura on humanitarian grounds. The decision came after representatives of the two countries met last week in India.

The neighbour has asked India to submit a fresh request for the transhipment, according to the minutes of meeting between the two nations. "A fresh request may be communicated. Bangladesh may look into the possibilities of the issue of transhipment on humanitarian ground, upon consultation with all relevant stakeholders," the minutes of meeting noted.

The two countries had met to discuss the "Protocol on Inland Water Transit and Trade" (PIWTT).At the meeting, the Indian side led by shipping adviser C B Singh, suggested that since three consignments have already operated on trial basis and operators are ready to use their own equipment, Bangladesh should allow transhipment to continue.

Bangladesh said that immediate movement of cargo through Ashuganj is not feasible as of now due to infrastructure limitations.India has long been seeking the transit and transhipment facility through Bangladesh territory to carry cargoes to its 'seven-sister' states.

Earlier, Bangladesh allowed India to carry goods to its north-eastern states thrice on a trial basis beginning on September 29, 2011. The transhipment was, however, suspended on October 26, 2011. The neighbour said that shipments will be allowed only after developing the infrastructure at Ashuganj port to the required level.

Since then, India has been pressing Bangladesh for continuation of transhipment of bulk cargoes through Ashuganj port as was agreed in the PIWTT.

In January, a core committee of Bangladesh government on transit and transhipment submitted their final report to its Prime Minister's Office, keeping both the options - transit and transhipment - open for neighbouring countries including India.

The committee identified nine roads, nine rail routes, and five waterways to be used for the transit facility to India and other neighbouring countries.

[chottala.com] Famous Scientist: J. Robert Oppenheimer, (1904 - 1967)




People & Events
J. Robert Oppenheimer, (1904 - 1967) 


J. Robert Oppenheimer, (1904 - 1967)Robert Oppenheimer was born on April 22, 1904, into a wealthy, New York, Jewish family. They lived in an apartment overlooking the Hudson River and vacationed in a summer home on Long Island. As a 17-year-old, Oppenheimer went to Harvard where a classmate says he "intellectually looted the place." But it was after Harvard that Oppenheimer found his intellectual passion. First at Cambridge University in England and then at Göttigen University in Germany, the young American scholar began making his mark in quantum theory. By the time he returned to America, he'd published more than a dozen articles and established a reputation as a theoretical physicist. 

In the 1930s, Oppenheimer became drawn into left-wing politics. In part, this may have been a reaction to the rise of Nazism in Germany where his relatives were suffering under increasingly severe anti-semitic laws, but it may also have been a reaction to the Great Depression. Many of his students were unable to get jobs and Oppenheimer would say, "I began to understand how deeply political and economic events could affect men's lives." He got involved with a number of left-leaning organizations and began making an annual donation of about $1,000 to various funds associated with the Communist Party. When he joined the atomic bomb project he admitted in his security questionnaire that he had been "a member of just about every Communist Front organization on the West Coast." It was an admission that cast suspicion on him and eventually played a large role in the loss of his security clearance. 

In 1941 Oppenheimer was brought into the atomic bomb project. His first task was to calculate the critical mass of uranium-235, i.e. the amount of uranium needed to sustain a chain reaction. The following summer he gathered together at Berkeley a small group of some of the best theoretical physicists in the country to talk about the actual bomb design. The group, which he dubbed the "luminaries," included Hans Bethe and Edward Teller. By the end of the summer they concluded that the bomb project would require a major scientific effort. 

General Leslie Groves, the army officer in charge of the bomb project wanted Oppenheimer to be the scientific director of the program, despite what he would call the "snag" of Oppenheimer's political past. After the war, he explained why: "He's a genius. A real genius... Why, Oppenheimer knows about everything. He can talk to you about anything you bring up. Well, not exactly. I guess there are a few things he doesn't know about. He doesn't know anything about sports." 

Together the two men picked out a site for a new laboratory for the project. It had to be isolated, but it needed to be easily accessible, it needed an adequate supply of water, and a moderate climate for year-round construction. Oppenheimer took Groves to a boys' school on a mesa in the New Mexico desert, which he had visited as a young man. The site became the location for the top secret Los Alamos weapons laboratory. 

By July 1945, Los Alamos was ready to test its bomb. Oppenheimer sent a cryptic telegram to scientists back at Berkeley: "Any time after the 15th would be a good time for our fishing trip...As we do not have enough sleeping bags to go around, we ask you please do not bring anyone with you." The test, code-named "Trinity," took place on July 16. It exploded with a force equivalent of 18,000 tons of TNT. Recalling the scene, Oppenheimer said: "A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. There floated through my mind a line from the "Bhagavad-Gita" in which Krishna is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty: "I am become death: the destroyer of worlds." 

After the war Oppenheimer achieved nation-wide recognition as the "father of the A-bomb," and he was widely quoted as the moral conscience of those who had worked on the project. "In some sort of crude sense, which no vulgarity, no humor, no overstatement can quite extinguish," he would say, "the physicists have known sin, and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose." He also rose to prominence as a scientific advisor to the Federal Government. He pushed hard for international control of atomic energy, and was appointed Chairman of the General Advisory Committee to the Atomic Energy Commission. It was in this role that he voiced strong opposition to the development of the H-bomb. 

His political past and his resistance to the hydrogen bomb ultimately had devastating consequences for his career. In 1953, the Atomic Energy Commission suspended his security clearance. Despite testimonials from scores of witnesses during the hearings, his clearance was not reinstated. Oppenheimer returned to academic life, but as one colleague would say, the public ordeal had broken his spirit.

[chottala.com] Re: Famous Scientist -

Well some where their is a picture of GUNOMEJU..well we the Buddhist to believe in REBIRTH..and thus it was an eventual conclusion I reached. Not only that..I have some patent claim of my own..to be honest many..among it is LASER PRINTER not only that INK JET printer too..I was also member of school Photography Club, though it did not last the full semester..I had some insight in Photography..

well if any where velocity of light is an issue it is in the speed of Laser Printer  and also in Camera.. One of thing crucial in Photography is..what is known as aperture control shutter speed these all deal with how long film is exposed to light..

May not believe these the side of temple I am from in Bangladesh..they still do many things people will not believe..but due to this Lawsuit by Tribal King..this issue of Oppenheimer is of much concern..I am the one that inherited the law suit if not the target of the lawsuit..knows the King and his allies who sued our side temple.. in fact they have been suing from the days of Gunomeju and lost every instance..well this is one of the longest running lawsuit  Kings side include Chinese, well lets put it this way MOAIST Buddhist..I do believe we will win this round too..

Oppenheimer has his Jewish Family and Children s from that  their is a Mutual fund in the name of..T.ROWE. PRICE, PRICE OPPENHEIMER..I think it is Known as OPPENHEIMER FUND..guess who is the spokes person for OPPENHEIMER FUND..the co actor of a movie based on another Buddhist populated country KILLING FEILD..lead actor was an Cambodian name HANG NOR who won OSCAR for that role..he was Journalist in the movie who was working as guide to this other character that is the Oppenheimer Fund spokes person..

If they can establish any accountability Oppenheimer beneficiaries will have to be held responsible for that not me..Knows Oppenheimer beneficiaries ..they rather have me pay for it not them..they want good of Oppenheimer not the bad..well I am staking out an position that..if ever any damage assigned to Oppenheimer role in Japan Bombing  it will have to be in his US Role capacity..well that brings up many issue US has done many things for Japan after the war..they help it rebuild..they gave the access to US market none others did.. part of those anti Americans in japan are those still bitter over the Bomb issue and Chinese tries to exploit that..and seems to bully Japan when ever they wish..I think the plan to rebuild Japan was called MARSHALL PLAN..

Beside that here are few others that will remind you of Oppenheimer..that is this TV Infomercial guy with AUSSIE accent  selling AMAZING SHAMMY..that used as wiping RAG that absorbs water better then anything and mops and so...he also looks like much popular TV Christian Preacher JOEL OOSTEEN guess who was behind the lawsuit of Joel OSTTEEN US attorney in Houston GREG ROSENBERG

Well that is another day issue of GREG & ETHEL ROSENBERGS one of the few's that were executed ..well it is all in this should I say MUDDLE

Mr. Debasish Barua

How do you know Oppenheimer looked like your  GUNOMEJU ????
[ You said "Here it is how he looked like." On the top of Oppenheimer's picture in your post… ????
 
You put A.D. with out of context…. In reality A.D. means Anno Domini (AD or A.D.) is a designation used to label or number years after the death of Jesus Christ in Julian and Gregorian calendars.
 
The study of Sanskrit in the in the Western world began in the 17th century. In 1786 Sir William Jones (British Scholar) had founded The Asiatic Society He noted similarities between Sanskrit, Ancient Greek and Latin—an event which is often cited as the beginning of comparative linguistic, Indi-European studies, and Sanskrit philology. In 1789 Jones published a translation of  Kalidasa's The Recognition of Skuntala. 

J. Robert Oppenheimer in 1933 met the Indologist Arthur W. Ryder at University of California, Berkeley and learned Sanskrit. 
Oppenheimer read the Bhagavad Gita in the original language. Later he 
cited it as one of the most influential books to shape his philosophy of life, 
and his quotation from the Bhagavad Gita "Now, I am become Death, the 
destroyer of worlds." in reference to the Trinity Test (Manhattan Project) is 
well-known.....!
 
Obviously, you are confused with various types of Radiations.
Specially, when you said "one of the side effect of radiation is sleepy ness. " 
You said: I think he is the only one that as part of research IDENTIFIED HOW AND MANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN RADIATION TAKES EFFECT>>THAT includes STRONG SMELL..STATIC ELECTRICITY..VIBRATION their is few more mention of things like this........................one of the side effect of radiation is sleepy ness.."

X-rays/Gamma-rays are not ordinary radiation …. These rays are very
High Frequency electromagnetic radiations (Gamma rays typically have frequencies above 10 exahertz (or >1019 Hz)). Gamma-rays are ionizing radiations, highly penitrating and severely damages biological cells ..... 
cell's DNA damage, cell death due to damaged DNA, increasing incidence of 
cancer) rather than burns, not just sleepyness as you say ......

High frequency Gamma-rays are produced, mainly by the disintegration 
of Radioactive atoms ….. The Nuclear chain reaction, that forms the basis 
of Atomic Bombs was first hypothesized  by Hungarian scientist  Leo 
Szilard … but he did not propose fission as the mechanism for his chain 
reaction, since the fission reaction was not yet discovered or even 
suspected. After Nuclear Fission  was discovered by others in 1938, 
Szilárd and EnricoFermi in 1939 searched for, and discovered, neutron 
multiplication in uranium, proving that a nuclear chain reaction by this 
mechanism was indeed possible. This discovery prompted the US 
initiative to emphasize nuclear research with the apprehension that Nazi 
Germany might be attempting to build an atomic bomb….

Your statement  "Back to AMAR Bose he is actually AMAR PALI..the man responsible for managing investments of SUBHASH BOSE and allies..among it is many apartments..one of which is DAL HOUSY SQUARE where my father used to stay with his aunt..  "  ….. is out and out Bullshit ….. !!!!!

Amar Gopal Bose (অমর গোপাল বসু ; born November 2, 1929) is an American by birth, of Bengali ancestry .  He was only 13 years old and just entered the Abington Senior High School in Abington, Pennsylvania,, when SUBHASH  BOSE formed  his first Azad Hind Fauj (INA) in 1942......

Thanks for patience ...

FYI, Oppenheimer enrolled at Harvard, where he took an intense
program that ranged from math and sciences to philosophy and
Eastern religions and French and English literature. Among the
sciences, he preferred chemistry because it  "starts right at the heart
of things." He was granted advanced standing to work with experimental
physicist Percy Bridgeman. Oppenheimer graduated summa cum laude
with an Bachelor of Arts (A.B) degree from Harvard. Later, he studied
with Max Born at the University of Cöttingen in Germany, from which
he received his doctoral degree (1927). Before comming to Cöttingen, he
did some graduate research at the Cambridge University, U.K.

Notice the Foot Note in my email. It is stated as A.D. usually that means after death. Now if you go thru names and many that was involved you will find..who else that other nasty name PHILLIPS..as i have claimed it all starts with Discovery of GAMA Ray..
Inaddition among many things of GUNOMEJUS patent claim..is as known as a medicine man...among his other discoveries is TEA BAG (Sri Lanka is Tea Producing Country..in addition Bhutto was married to lady from guess where ISPAHANI the TEA MOGULs..) they sure do know..who the developer of TEA BAG thus the royalty to many thing..
Last but not least..their is this medicine sold thru..retail out lets..its name is NO DOZ..this medicine keeps you up at a minimum for few days..you will not feel tired..one of the side effect of radiation is sleepy ness..well that is part of the issue of GUNOMEJUS origin of research..

I think he is the only one that as part of research IDENTIFIED HOW AND MANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN RADIATION TAKES EFFECT>>THAT includes STRONG SMELL..STATIC ELECTRICITY..VIBRATION their is few more mention of things like this..

Conduct patent search of NO DOZ you will come across GUNOMEJUS name and his now Bangladesh Address..you might have to go thru patent application..may not believe this much popular energy drinks are inspired by NO DOZ..only thing is NO DOZ after a day or two use will make your eye lids some discomfort..

One of the thing is..all others interested in Patent over looked his this discovery..they were after the much coveted discovery..

In addition about AMAR BOSE of BOSE RADIO..he is no one else but one of the lead follower of SUBASH BOSE...I have mentioned of DINESH CHANDRA..do you know why he was killed part due to..that is my mothers fathers, father..( he looked like ZENG ZAO MINH of CHINA A.D.).

From what I understand in those days..when he still was in Burma..US approached DINESH CHANDRA as he was British Postal service employee .in Burma thru British to investigate source of SUBASH BOSE funding of anti British activity ..it is with Postal master jurisdiction to investigate wire fraud and etc..thus those days SUBASH BOSE activities and his loyalist were getting money thru Money orders..even abroad....The thing is Subash Bose was not only considered threat to British..he was considered threat to US..among many reasons why US Bombed JAPAN was SUBASH BOSE was in one of those two cities..the DOME LIKE STRUCTURE you see in one of the Bombed site was considered what Oppenheimer were racing up against..Japanese were going to develop it before US and thus use it a head of him..this after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and dragged US into Second World war..

Here is a Japanese Navy Movie ADMIRAL YAMAMOTO..it is in Japanese..story of a US Harvard educated Japanese Navy men..YAMAMOTO was the COMMAND of the JAPANESE NAVAL FLEET for I think PACIFIC COAST..may not believe this Pearl Harbor Pilots included KOREAN Pilots..

If you go thru the Japanese language movie..YAMAMOTO received more then one request from Japanese High Command to draw up a battle plan to attack US..he steadfastly refused.. every time..He responded backs attacking US would be colossal mistake ..story has it Japanese High Command repeatedly insisted..thus..HE EVEN INVOKED BUDDHA in his inner debate..he finally gave in and agreed to draw up pearl harbor battle plan..he came to understand dragging in US into the war would be the only way to end that war that was causing severe hard ship in Japan and the countries involved..

Back to AMAR Bose he is actually AMAR PALI..the man responsible for managing investments of SUBHASH BOSE and allies..among it is many apartments..one of which is DAL HOUSY SQUARE where my father used to stay with his aunt..

That is a picture of J. Robert Oppenheimer, who led the Manhattan Project, the work of the scientists at Los Alamos that resulted in the first
artificial Nuclear Explosion [Atom Bomb] in New Mexico desert, on July
16, 1944. This site was code-nammed as TRINITY in mid-1944.
Oppenheimer had an inner conscious biting while working on the project.
Oppenheimer later recalled that, while witnessing the explosion, he thought
of a verse from Hindu  Holy  book Bhagabod Gita:
"I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." [Rudra the destroyer .....]  etc 

In any case, your posting of that picture was misleading and fake !!!!!
Please try to be honest and you must know that "honesty is the best policy "

In addition ..where this states..of.Tamil Nadu, may not believe it is one of the cause of 40 year war between Tamils and Sinhalese..as Gunomeju was from Sri Lanka.. interesting invokes Optics and some kind of seems like RAY GUN, The way I understand it..it is the simple experiment in PHYSICS lab Taught in my high school..that covers deflection of LIGHTS..it is light source in one end and lenses on clam..as the light passes thru the Lenses..it takes a concentrated form...well it is the same principal this RAY GUN if any..difference is the rays are being passed thru a Metal TUBE with lenses being able to be adjusted..in strange way Light source, lenses all in one track like railway..

The Nobel Prize in Physics 1930

Sir Venkata Raman

Biography

Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was born at Trichinopoly in Southern India on November 7th, 1888. His father was a lecturer in mathematics and physics so that from the first he was immersed in an academic atmosphere. He entered Presidency College, Madras, in 1902, and in 1904 passed his B.A. examination, winning the first place and the gold medal in physics; in 1907 he gained his M.A. degree, obtaining the highest distinctions.

His earliest researches in optics and acoustics - the two fields of investigation to which he has dedicated his entire career - were carried out while he was a student.

Since at that time a scientific career did not appear to present the best possibilities, Raman joined the Indian Finance Department in 1907; though the duties of his office took most of his time, Raman found opportunities for carrying on experimental research in the laboratory of the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science at Calcutta (of which he became Honorary Secretary in 1919).

In 1917 he was offered the newly endowed Palit Chair of Physics at Calcutta University, and decided to accept it. After 15 years at Calcutta he became Professor at the Indian Institute of Science at Bangalore (1933-1948), and since 1948 he is Director of the Raman Institute of Research at Bangalore, established and endowed by himself. He also founded the Indian Journal of Physics in 1926, of which he is the Editor. Raman sponsored the establishment of the Indian Academy of Sciences and has served as President since its inception. He also initiated the Proceedings of that academy, in which much of his work has been published, and is President of the Current Science Association, Bangalore, which publishes Current Science (India).

Some of Raman's early memoirs appeared as Bulletins of the Indian Associationfor the Cultivation of Science (Bull. 6 and 11, dealing with the "Maintenance of Vibrations"; Bull. 15, 1918, dealing with the theory of the musical instruments of the violin family). He contributed an article on the theory of musical instruments to the 8th Volume of the Handbuch der Physik, 1928. In 1922 he published his work on the "Molecular Diffraction of Light", the first of a series of investigations with his collaborators which ultimately led to his discovery, on the 28th of February, 1928, of the radiation effect which bears his name ("A new radiation", Indian J. Phys., 2 (1928) 387), and which gained him the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Other investigations carried out by Raman were: his experimental and theoretical studies on the diffraction of light by acoustic waves of ultrasonic and hypersonic frequencies (published 1934-1942), and those on the effects produced by X-rays on infrared vibrations in crystals exposed to ordinary light. In 1948 Raman, through studying the spectroscopic behaviour of crystals, approached in a new manner fundamental problems of crystal dynamics. His laboratory has been dealing with the structure and properties of diamond, the structure and optical behaviour of numerous iridescent substances (labradorite, pearly felspar, agate, opal, and pearls).

Among his other interests have been the optics of colloids, electrical and magnetic anisotropy, and the physiology of human vision.

Raman has been honoured with a large number of honorary doctorates and memberships of scientific societies. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society early in his career (1924), and was knighted in 1929.

C.V. Raman
Initially, the IACS was able only to give free public lectures. Nevertheless, these were well-attended by the public. Scientists like J.C Bose & Fr. Lafont gave lectures. But M.L. Sircar was disappointed that young people did not come forward to do real research.
In 1907, a 19-year old officer in the Accountant General's department walked into the IACS premises, wanting to do some research in physics. A.L. Sircar, who was then the head there, enthusiastically accepted him. This was CV Raman, who went on to win the Nobel Prize in 1930.
Though Raman was appointed a professor in 1917 in the University of Calcutta, he preferred to do his research in IACS. And it was there; in 1928 that he discovered the famous Raman Effect.

In the beginning, CV Raman had no good instruments. He used sunlight as a source of light, and his own eyes as a detector. Yet he got his results published in Nature, the world's most prestigious scientific journal. Impressed, the industrialist GD Birla bought him a spectrograph.
CHANDRASHEKAR VENKATA RAMAN (1930) 
Nobel Prize for Physics
Born at Thiruvanaikkaval in Tamil Nadu, Raman studied at Presidency College, Madras. Later, he served as Professor of Physics at Calcutta University. C.V. Raman won the Nobel Prize for an important research in the field of optics (light). Raman had found that diffused light contained rays of other wavelengths-what is now popularly known as Raman Effect. His theory explains why the frequency of light passing through a transparent medium changes. 

HARGOBIND KHORANA (1968) 

The Nobel Prize for Medicine
Dr. Khorana was born in Raipur, Punjab (now in Pakistan). He went abroad to get his doctorate in Chemistry and later settled there. It was his study of the human genetic code and the role it plays in protein synthesis that got him the Nobel Prize.

SUBRAMANIAN CHANDRASHEKAR (1983) 

The Nobel Prize for Physics
Dr S. Chandrashekar, is an Indian-born astrophysicist (a branch of astronomy or the study of space). After studying at the Presidency College in Madras, Dr. Chandrashekhar went to the United States for work and settled there. He has written many books on his field Astrophysics and 
Stellar Dynamics. He developed a theory on white dwarf stars forecasts the limit of mass that dwarf stars can have. This limit is known as the Chandrashekar Limit. His theory also explains the final stages of the evolution of stars.
