LOTR
   Finally I am through watching the triology. The adventure of the hobbit with minimal instincts towards any adventure has finally come to an end. The third part of the triology is the best in terms of visual effects and action. One is engulfed in the make shift world of hobbits, elves and wizards for full 3 hours. the scenery is serene and cinimatography full of twists and turns. Although one might say that the end was a bit dragged but on a deeper look one feels that it was not so; keeping in mind the total length of the whole triology. After all it was the end of a long tale that spread over 10 long hours.
   If you ask me how I compare the three parts I would sway my vote in favour of the second part, The Two Towers. The sole reason being that it was balanced in between emotional drama and swinging swords and flying, wizzing arrows. But again this can be countered in that the first part was bound to be slow and emotional because in that the writer was setting the precedent for the tale. and the third part was bound to be more action stricken because all that was spread by Tolkien had to be moped up efficiently in giving the story a happy ever after finish. Only thought that strikes me is that in the days when Tolkien was writing this epic fairy tale he must have been affected by the events around him. The second world war was in full swing and maybe he found retreat in his own world in writing this novel. Either its just me or what but you can very well see the political drama very real and attached to the present day world in the tale.
   Enough said about the tale of the ring now to the real world of matter and mass. Where the sheer momentum of events is sufficient enough to cause havoc in the sky that drenches our eyes with its perplexing concavity. Some news successfully carried their momentum today to my sleep weary ear drums. Scientists it seems have finally been able to spot the ever illusionary tenth planet of the solar system. And this time around they are pretty sure that it is part of our pack. Astronomers have named it after the goddess of ocean.

Learning Arduino 1

This holiday season I decided to gift myself some basic electrical components in the form of a Arduino UNO set from Elegoo. I have always had a desire to tinker with electronics and in gifting myself this basic set I am now starting on a journey to quench my inner electrical workman's thirst. I hope to develop this hobby as I move forward and will, from time to time, post about it here on the blog. As the journey moves forward I am sure to run into trouble and issues. But as they say you can not master anything without first being a fool at it, so I have decided to remain a fool at it until I am a little good at it. To start with, I do possess some elementary knowledge in electronics and electronic circuits. I intend to further my knowledge using the world wide web and following some very useful video channels on youtube. I will first start with some very basic projects to familiarize myself with Arduino and basic electronic circuits and techniques such as soldering. Then graduall...

XBOX ONE controller

I have been using the new xbox for many days now. The most important part of the console is obviously it's controller as this is the part we interact with most. In comparison to the xbox 360 controller the build quality of this controller seems slightly compromised. There is little counter weight in the wings of this controller and therefore it does not feel quite as sturdy in hand as the old one. However the shape has been elongated a bit and this actually probably compensates for the weight issue. All the buttons are within reach of my fingers which is good. One thing I have liked about the xbox controller is the snug fit in my hands. This is unlike sony's six axis controller. Those are obviously made for smaller hands. The sony controllers are much sturdier as I have learnt over the years I have had the play station. They took a lot of beating but came out winning. I don't think I expect same quality from the xbox controllers.  Also I have been getting a taste of Microso...

Tax skirting by hospital systems?

The issue of avoiding federal taxes is in the news these days with Apple being in the spotlight.  Most of the times big companies avoid paying US taxes by skirting their profits to tax havens.  Healthcare giants can do the same theoretically.  Imagine if there were a health care giant that opens up shop in tax haven islands and then uses the same technique that commercial entities use to skirt their profits out of the country, thereby avoiding taxes.  This is very much possible.  The of shore clinics can be potentially used to complicate the tax return filing system here in US.  I could never understand why a completely US hospital system would like to open up a clinic in Bahamas.  These clinics are portrayed as the global reach of the entity but who do they actually serve.  We never hear about them in press or public.  These clinics are apparently manned by some doctors we never hear about.  How does this system work?  I really do...
