How the Internal Revenue Service of the United States communicated with me with their letters

I have genuine reasons to open an online checking bank account in a bank of the United States of America because firstly I have invested by buying shares of technology companies traded at the NASDAQ® stock exchange and more recently I have written my own book "Military Computer Alert" using CreateSpace® of Amazon®.

While I was researching and reading online websites of how to open a bank account remotely in a U.S. bank, I came across the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) which is issued by the Internal Revenue Service, a U.S. federal government office which comes under the Department of Treasury. Having an ITIN will be very useful in opening a bank account in a U.S. bank.

So on Sunday 8 April 2018 I filled the W-7 form and submitted my passport in an A4 sized envelope to the EMS(Express Mail Service) counter at Maldives Post. I was issued a tracking number but I was surprised when the tracking number was instantly entered into the tracking system of the United States Postal Service® (USPS®) which is another U.S. federal government agency.

I kept calling IRS's international telephone number since I submitted the W-7 form after when it was delivered to IRS on Thursday 26 April 2018.

My application to obtain an ITIN was rejected on 1 June 2018 and the reason was ITIN is for only U.S. tax reporting purposes.

On Saturday 7 July 2018 I received my original passport back by Priority Mail. 7 July 2015 ( which was Ramallan 2015 ) was the day Maldives Immigration issued my passport and it's written that my passport will expire on 7 July 2020. It was exactly to be 3 years I was issued my passport when I received the first letter from IRS returning my passport to me. The following day Sunday 8 July 2018 will be exactly four months since I had posted my application. This not a mere coincidence. It was deliberately done by the IRS which shows that the U.S. shipping and communications system is very efficient.

After a week, on Sunday 15 July 2018 I received another letter from IRS telling me that my ITIN application was rejected. That letter also came to me through Priority Mail. It was exactly four months and one week since I had posted my ITIN application to IRS.

Actually IRS mails the shipping through standard post most of the time, and it will be a month for the mail to be received, but they had made me an exception. Thank you IRS. I received both my postal mails through Priority Mail.

I received both letters personally by myself. On both occasions and instances of communication, the letters were put down on the doorway of my home and when I descended downstairs to have a smoke, I picked up the mails.

OrCAD™ Capture CIS™ Lite

Yesterday I formatted my computer and has now finished installing all the softwares I want.

When I installed Cadence® OrCAD™ Lite, it also installed OrCAD™ Capture CIS™ Lite product.

I just now opened a sample design file in OrCAD™ Capture CIS™ Lite and it was a sample design by Intel®.

Here is what I know of processor and IC(Integrated Circuit) design.

OrCAD™ Lite is for educational and hobbyist users. You can design a processor on your own but no fabrication plant (or fab) will manufacture just one or two processors because that will be very inconvenient.

Intel® might use OrCAD™ as a side software for training purposes for new staff but they probably use their own processor design software.There are many companies and individual engineers who use OrCAD™ professionally to design electronics / microelectronics systems.

Hundreds of processes is involved when we can have a single processor chip.Silicon is used as the main ingredients and on a single die billions of transistors are interconnected in different layers.Silicon wafer in 200 mm slices are cut into individual processors in Fabs.

Software's like OrCAD™ is used to design the chips and the manufacturing equipment puts the designs in to volume production.

These are the very first days I am using Cadence® products in my life...

Cadence® OrCAD™ Lite

It took me one full day and night to finally complete this work...I just now finished installing Cadence® OrCAD™ Lite 17.2 which was released in 2016 and is the most stable free version of OrCAD™.

I wanted a CAD(Computer Aided Design) software specifically targeted for electronics.

AutoCAD™ by Autodesk® is widely used in Maldives for mostly civil,electrical,and mechanical engineering drawings.It's also widely used by architects in Maldives for building drawings. But I wanted a software which is used for EDA (Electronic Design Automation) only.

OrCAD™ is written in C/C++ and developed by Cadence® Design Systems,Inc a leading U.S. company specializing in electronics / microelectronics software for PCB(Printed Circuit Boards), SoC (Silicon on Chips), and many other design tools.

OrCAD™ Lite is the free version with full functionality for PCB and has PSpice™ Lite product by Cadence®.
