Haven't been able to make any real posts for quite sometime. many reasons could be sighted for the delay or the apparent pause in the posts but I wouldn't indulge into the story telling right now rather get straight to the point. I was going through this old piece of newspaper just today and my eyes caught a news item which told about the apparent misery of muslim lot in the country of Thailand. Have been reading about the insults inflicted upon the resident muslim community in Thailand for some time now and cant resist writing about it. the news item told of arrest of 1300 muslims in the southern Thailand who were part of a peaceful and non violent demonstration.
   This is not the first time that the Thai forces have acted like savages rather they have done this before. Thai muslims will remember 28th April 2004 as a dark day in their history. On this fateful day more than 110 helpless muslims were mercilessly slaughtered by the Thai security forces. Some who escaped the onslaught and took refuge in a mosque were chased and bulleted in the mosque by the savages. Their crime, a demonstration after a football match which did not please their Thai lords.
   History tells us of a an ancient muslim state in the three Thai provinces in the south. The provinces were usurped in the beginning of 20th century by buddhist followers. In 1909 in accordance with the 'Bankok agreement' these provinces were accepted by the British govt. as a part of Thai controlled area. In return Thai buddhists helped the British raj secure its grip over Malaysian islands.
   There has been concern raised over the brutality of the Thai forces in this area. Iran and Malaysia recorded official protests with the Thai govt. But Pakistani puppet govt. has been unable to say a single word to say the least. All this attitude of no concern for the fear that uncle Sam will not like Pakistani govt. issuing any statements in favour of so called muslim terrorists.

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...
