Lessons from Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is on the verge of declaring victory over the separatist movement of the Tamil Tigers.  After years of struggle and constant state of war Sri Lanka has done what Pakistan would be able to achieve some day.  In our struggle against the elements that declare terror upon us we must learn our lessons from Sri Lanka.  Tamil Tigers were the first people in the modern history to utilize living humans as payload delivery systems.  So they are very much similar to the fanatic elements that we are coming across in our north west frontier province.  They fight a guerilla war and hide and attack.  And in all possibility they have been trained by the same agency that trained the Tami Tigers.  Therefore it would be a great idea to get some ideas from the Sri Lankan friends in helping us fight the resistance movement.

If Sri Lanka can do it so can we.

But as I was thinking about these lines i read about SSG being paratrooped behind enemy lines.  Now it could be as simple as a battle tactic.  Para trooping soldiers behind enemy lines.  But could it be paratrooping reinforcements for the enemy.  Or could it be Paratrooping SSG to retrieve valuable human assets from the hot zone.  I don’t know.  It could be anything.   I think Fazlullah will not be found.  He will disappear now like a ghost from the scene.

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...
