I am always busy with my two growing kids - our charming and beautiful daughter who is 14 (a teenager; God help us!), and our boisterous son who is 19 and started at UT as a freshman in Aerospace Engineering in 2013 (both kids always keep us guessing!). I think I am a devoted husband to my beautiful wife for 20+ years (devotion is a relative word :)).

my ordinary political views
Sanjay Dalal - Fremont, California in 2005-2006
Happy in Bay Area, CA
I became a citizen of USA in 2008, and voted for President Obama and Vice President Biden, and am a moderate democrat or progressive republican or independent ("I am a newcomer trying to figure out who does what and what local leadership stands for"). I have no political aspirations, and am not connected nor affiliated with any political, radical and hateful organization. I enjoy debating and talking about current issues with openness, and have moderate views. I love the democratic election process, and support local community leaders who favor strong family values, education, health, safety & security, peace, honesty & openness, humility, and treat all citizens with respect (regardless of party and religious affiliations). Detailed views here...

Hindu values
My wife Mamta and me at Navaratri Raas-Garba at University High School, Irvine, September 2014
Sanjay is a Vaishnav Hindu, and married to Jain Hindu, Mamta. Sanjay met his wife Mamta at the University of Texas at Austin in 1989 (yup, both of us were studying :) ). Sanjay respects non-violent and moderate religious beliefs of our friends and community. Sanjay firmly believes in non-violence and peace (Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa have inspired me tremendously), and treating everyone with respect, kindness, honesty, humility and calmness. Of course, my kids will attest that "I can get angry or mad on occasion when they fight, hit, misbehave, don't do homework, say bad words, or don't clean up their rooms"! My wife says that "she is always loud, and that it's okay for moms to be loud & get mad" I guess I am still learning this parenting & husband thing... :-) Sanjay resides with his wife and two growing children in Irvine, California.

my personal story (long version, readers beware ;-0)
Dalal family (my wife, me, my son and daughter) at our daughter's middle school graduation. Irvine, CA June 2014

My parents, my sister's family & my family at my cousin's wedding in December, 2009 at Ahmedabad, India

Dalal family (all our relatives) at our home in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India on December 30, 2014
"My father, Rotarian Bharat C. Dalal, Stanford MBA 1959, and inaugural professor at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, and mother, Ashaben Dalal, inspired my sister and me to come to this great country USA in 1987 in search of the American Dream. My father had this amazing opportunity to come to USA for education on a Rotary Foundation Scholarship in 1957 at Stanford University. My father's story is all inspiring to me... my grand-father who studied in the street lights in India and went on to become one of the best criminal lawyers in Gujarat inspired my father, my uncles and my aunt to go to Wilson college in Mumbai to study in 1950's; my father tells me that my grand-father had only one pair of clothing to wear; so he will wash them every night and dry them overnight so that he can wear them the next morning! My grand-father worked hard and become a great lawyer in Nadiad, Gujarat, bought a car in those days and even built the Dalal family home (which I have been to many times as I was growing up! I unfortunately never met my grand-father since he passed away long time before I was born). Both my grand-father and my grand-mother fought for India's Independence as well. My grand-mother established the first Mahila Samaj in Nadiad, and led many marches with the women in Gujarat, some alongside Kasturba (Mahatma Gandhi's wife). Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India Freedom Fighter and Iron Man, used to know my grand-father also, and he had asked him to join the freedom movement full-time. However, my grand-father used to joke with him that "Patel, you have so many farms and a lot of money; I on the other hand have to work hard to support my family." I grew up hearing stories from my grand-mother about how they used to work hard to make ends meet and raise their family. An interesting story is that both my grand-mother and grand-father were arrested by the British for different offenses during the freedom fight and ended up being in the same jail!

My grandfather Chandulal Dalal

My grandmother Kapila Dalal
My grandmother Kapila Dalal

My grand-father had a dream that one of his sons would excel in college. Although he did not live long enough to see this dream, my father worked hard in college, and stood first in all of Gujarat, then competed for the Rotary Foundation scholarship award versus over 700 aspiring students in India and succeeded, and came to USA via Europe (he went to Rotary clubs all over Europe and shared his experience and story, got lots of monetary gifts that helped him go to New York via ship; and then he came to California). My father loved his time in America. He always stayed as a paying guest with an American family (he loved the food and hospitality!). One of his mentors once took him in a piper plane and they flew all over Northern California area. He started at Stanford in Engineering in 1957, but after a semester realized that he may drop out altogether (I guess he couldn't get past Mathematics). When Stanford helped him with an aptitude testing, they realized his strengths were in business. And then he got his MBA. Another interesting story is that my mother never met my father before they got married... yup, it was an arranged marriage, my mother flew all way to America to get married! My parents were married in Washington D.C., but later went back to India to support my grand-mother and their extended family. I am lucky to have one of their wedding gifts from 1961! My parents worked really hard to save money, grow our family and provide us a solid foundation. We lived for most of my childhood in a modest flat in Ahmedabad, India. The best part: I made a lot of friends while growing up in the Gandhi Baug society, enjoyed playing Cricket and Badminton, and on many occasions climbing the society wall to go to my school GLS (which was literally next doors)

Sanjay B Dalal Maternal Grandparents - Chimanlal Shah and Hiraben Shah

My grand-father (mom's father) and grand-mother were equally inspiring to me. Every full-moon (poonam), we will go to my grand-father's home in Ambawadi to celebrate, do the Satya Narayan Katha with friends and family, and have a huge feast (my favorite being the "sheero"). My grand-father was a self-made businessman who worked equally hard and became the general manager of New Commercial textile mill in Ahmedabad. He did quite well financially and had a huge bungalow, car and was highly respected in the local business community. He used to tell me stories about his business, how he helped grow the textile industry in Ahmedabad, and how he achieved the top position  at his company, and then fell hard when it closed down (although he did well enough to build a great bungalow; he introduced me to the "foreign" concept of shares back then). He was also a religious and god-loving man, and used to pray to Lord Rama all the time, and go to Ramji mandir in the city (I went with him many times). He taught me the power of prayer early on, respecting my family members (especially my sisters, since we used to fight a lot!) and showing humility (I try hard, but it's easy to forget). My grand-mother was a very loving lady, always had the soft heart for me (they used to call me with a lot of affection "Sanjuram") and even came to USA and visited our home in Fremont, CA.

My parents taught us early on to study and work hard, have a strong determination to succeed, and give back to the community. My father is even now an active Rotarian, volunteers a lot of his time in helping the local community in Ahmedabad, and donates a lot of his hard-earned money (my parents live a modest lifestyle). After doing well at the University of Oklahoma during my Freshman year in 1987 (I was nominated for the President's award), I applied to the University of Texas at Austin for Electrical and Computer Engineering program for my sophomore year. When I was awarded the coveted Engineering scholarship (which also made me eligible for instate tuition), I transferred to my alma mater UT! I worked 20 hours weekly in the Macintosh computer laboratory later on to help students with their programming classes on the Mac, and help pay for my undergraduate education. I was later awarded the International Office scholarship in my senior year. My college was not uneventful... I caught a bout with Mumps in my Junior year, and had to drop out of a semester owing to a lot of weakness, and eventually took almost six months to recover. I learned early on the value of great American college education earned through hard work, and am quite grateful to my professors and advisers at both UT and OU. (both my sister and I started at University of Oklahoma; she transferred to University of California, Irvine).
My parents Bharat C. Dalal and Asha Dalal
My parents Bharat C. Dalal and Asha Dalal
I met my wife to be in Austin in  summer of 1989 (she was in the Business School doing Accounting). We were both part of the Indian Orientation team and helped arriving students from India at UT Austin get settled. I also led as the Treasurer of India Student Association. I graduated from UT in May, 1992. My wife and I planned and got married on August 15, 1993, celebrating both our marriage and India's Independence Day in Orange County, California (yup, we lost our independence). I did my graduate school at Arizona State University - Phoenix and Tempe (Computer Science) while working at Bull (Honeywell) from 1992 through 1995. Then we moved to Austin for a year and a half (when I worked at IBM), and we were blessed with our son, who is now in Austin again and starting at UT as a freshman in Aerospace Engineering. An opportunity to work at a startup in Silicon Valley with my wife's brother-in-law drove us to California in 1997. Our daughter was born in Fremont in 2000 (she is a millennium baby!). After spending 10 years in Silicon Valley from 1997 to 2007 and working at various startups (and doing well), we moved to Irvine, Orange County to settle down for the next 10 years (at the very least). I became a U.S. Citizen in 2008 to vote for the first time, and enjoy the freedom of a U.S. citizen!

I believe that the U.S. economy that underwent through a deep recession in 2008-2009 will turn around slowly but surely, and grow during the next five years. As an entrepreneur, I look at glass as half-full, and have a positive spin and outlook on most things. I have realized that maintaining optimism, good health, passion, strong belief in one's self, and keeping faith in God are very important! I am inspired by my teams, friends, partners and co-workers (great teams, partners and co-workers are what make you successful in both family and business). I do make many professional and personal mistakes! I am always learning from these mistakes, and trying not to repeat them. I like to stay engaged and enjoy life's simple moments, and have fun time with family and friends.

I am driven to create amazing customer value and experience with my latest start-up oGoing, and am working hard to make it the best platform for small business social networking and social media marketing! oGoing is growing, albeit slowly... I have been "oGoing" since summer of 2009, and just finished four years. I don't have much to show for in terms of sales yet. Whether or not OGoing becomes a big success, I don't know. However, the journey of being an entrepreneur has sure been exhausting and exhilarating!"

a few personal recommendations. thank you!!
July 2010

Hi Sanjay,
You're the best. Thank you for the many hours that you put into the job of PTA Treasurer and I really appreciate it. I hope that you continue to be part of PTA in some role, because we need parents like you who ask questions and push for a solution or answer. I will still see you at SSC. Again, many thanks.
Have a great summer.
Warm regards,

"I am happy to write this letter of recommendation at the request of Sanjay Dalal. He has made it known to me that he seeks to partner with you in some business. My name is Vanessa Lewis; I am the President of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) at Turtle Rock Elementary. I have been working closely with Sanjay, Treasurer for the Turtle Rock PTA, for one year now.

As Treasurer of the PTA, Sanjay has shown consistency and reliability in his work and in his commitment. As our organization has an annual operating budget of only $167,000.00, it is critical that the financials are tediously minded. Sanjay has been exemplary in his keeping of our books and records. Sanjay demonstrates his attention to detail as he reviews the Check Request forms and the attached receipts. On three occasions, Sanjay was the one who found mixed receipts- current receipts with one or two dated prior to our fiscal year and thus could not be honored. His careful review saved our organization hundreds of dollars as these extra receipts were not rightfully our expenses to incur, and he avoided our organization being fined during audit. Sanjay has additionally displayed his flexibility and open-mindedness as he has engaged in tasks that certainly are not part of his job description- such as selling t-shirts at the opening of our Fall Festival, and coordinating with the Women’s National Basketball Association to create an incentive program for our PTA membership. Sanjay is without limits in his ingenuity as can be seen in his personal professional life and during Board meeting discussions.

I have had a wonderful experience working with Sanjay Dalal over the last year. He maintains professionalism and integrity that I can only respect and admire in him. Additionally, Sanjay has a realistic perspective while remaining optimistic and solution-oriented as he seeks to expand the possibilities of any given situation. Based on my experience working with Sanjay, I would highly recommend him as a solid candidate for a business partner."

Sanjay Dalal has asked me to write a reference on his behalf. I have known Sanjay as a member of the Newport-Irvine Rotary Club since he joined a couple of years ago. Sanjay has shown great dedication in providing service to the community and to the members of the club. He is always ready to help on the various community events done by our club. Since July of 2009 he has been the fine master; an activity that requires recognizing the members for their anniversaries, birthdays, and noteworthy events. While simple, in principle, this activity requires getting to know the members (more than 60) and connecting with them during the meetings. Sanjay has done a fine job.

I have observed that Sanjay is always willing to learn new ways and shows commitment and character in his endeavors. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Yours in Rotary,
Cecil Hess

I would be glad to provide you the reference for Sanjay. He has been a very active and dedicated ABAOC board member. My dealing with Sanjay has been very pleasant and he always add great deal of value to the various committees he supports. His recommendations are practical and always provides great benefits to our organization.
I highly recommend him as a potential partner for your venture. If you need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

To Whom It May Concern:

It is with great enthusiasm that I write this letter of recommendation for Sanjay Dalal. Over the past year, I have had the pleasure of working with this very capable, dedicated parent volunteer.

Mr. Dalal is well organized and thoughtful. He volunteered for the role of secretary on our School Site Council. He took clear, concise notes, and was always well prepared for meetings. He added thoughtful questions and support to conversations. He assisted in defusing hot topics and refocusing the conversation on student learning. We are fortunate to have Sanjay Dalal on Turtle Rock Elementary School's Site Council.

I highly recommend Sanjay for any position for which he may apply. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me.

Coach Sanjay: You did a great job coaching our boys. They learned new skills while they had fun. It was a great experience and I can't express my appreciation with merely words, but profound thanks for your coaching with care and kindness.

“Sanjay is a passionate technologist, philanthropist, and savvy businessperson rolled into one. He and I were appointed members of the Technology Advisory Committee (TAC) for the entire Fremont School District overseeing 40+ schools with an enrollment of 40,000+ students (2006-2007). Appointed by the Fremont Board of Education, the TAC consisted of members from the community, teachers, and executive and staff members from the Fremont Education Department. Sanjay was an active member of the TAC providing key ideas, opinions, analysis and technology thought leadership during his appointment tenure. Sanjay is a gifted consensus builder and articulates his ideas and opinions openly and does a great job. During the course of our appointment, TAC thoroughly analyzed the current state of technology at Fremont schools, interviewed members of the school staff, parents and students, researched various technology initiatives at similar school districts, brainstormed on technology methods and processes, and put together a detailed technology plan that was presented to the Board of Education. Sanjay is very articulate and I have seen him talk passionately about innovation even during our regular meetings. He has since then started a very successful blog on innovation and developed an excellent redership base. I really enjoyed working with him and look forward to future opportunities of collaboration.”

Animal Shelter Continues Modified Hours this Week

The San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter will continue modified hours this week as staff and outside animal rescue agencies treat animals recently seized in an animal cruelty case by the Hays County Sheriff’s Office.

This week’s hours of operation are:

  • Tuesday, Nov. 20: The Adoption Center will be open from 11:30 a.m. – 6 p.m.; receiving and reclaim from 8 a.m. – 6 p.m.
  • Wednesday, Nov. 21: Adoption Center closed (normal for Wednesday); receiving and reclaim will be open from 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
  • Thursday-Sunday, Nov. 22 - 25 Closed to the public for Thanksgiving holiday.

The shelter does not have space to intake cats, and is only handling emergency intakes for dogs on a case-by-case basis.

The seized animals have been housed in a vacant climate-controlled office space and attended to daily by staff and volunteers. Arrangements are being made to move the remaining offsite animals to the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter.

Normal procedures for receiving unsanitary and malnourished animals include:

  • Cleaning and inspecting the animals
  • Attempting to rehydrate and introduce food
  • Daily kennel cleaning
  • Thorough medical evaluation from veterinarians
  • Individualized treatment plans ranging from simple care to interventions such as administering antibiotics and performing surgical procedures.

Placement of seized animals

Dogs seized in the Hays County Sheriff’s Office animal neglect case are being made ready for adoption on a case-by-case basis. Cats are currently not available for adoption or transfer as one of the seized cats tested positive for Histoplasmosis, a fungus-based infection associated with concentrated animal droppings. Due to this positive test, all remaining cats are being held for further evaluation and possible testing.

Donation requests

The shelter is in need of the following items:

  • Funds for Histoplasmosis testing and treatment
  • Cat transportation carriers
  • Laundry detergent
  • Disposable litter pans
  • Canned/wet cat food
  • Kitty Litter/Equine pelletized bedding
  • Disinfectant wipes
  • Disposable food/water bowls or trays
  • Hand sanitizer
  • Diamond adult dog food

CMI Math Project in First Grade

Kellie Brandley, Rebecca Dooley

During the month of February, first grade learned about Abraham Lincoln and that he lived in a one room log cabin.  The students learned about how a log cabin was constructed.  Then, the teachers taught a CMI math lesson that involved all the students in counting and bundling popsicle sticks in groups of tens to see how many the class had. Students were able to count large numbers of sticks counting by tens.  After counting the initial group of sticks, the teacher gave them more sticks as it was determined that in order for each student to build their own log cabin more sticks would be necessary.  In the end, each student had 68 sticks to build their own replica of a one room log cabin.

me, Saturna Robbie

Tuesday, 6 March 2012

I finally got my BlackBerry working again and what did I see?  I saw a strange text message from Mom saying 'We will find you Dear Robbie and Lacey, no matter what... Trust us..we will cross the Border...WE are not afraid of Drug Gangs!'.  Yikes! I think my BlackBerry has been hacked by criminals .....and now Mom and DOD have headed across the border into Mexico looking for us.

One part of me is very worried for them ...the other part is happy that they have not abandoned us! I could not cope with having Humans who did not care enough. So, we have to head across the border and try to find them before they get themselves into trouble.

They have a two day head-start on us...of course they do not have our a matter of fact I am not sure they have any powers at all! So we should be able to find them PDQ. What we don't know is who lured them away? Why did who-ever-it-was send a message that Hurley's Angels were in some sort of trouble across the border?  What do they want with Mom and DOD?

We will head out at first light....but first, even before that, we have a paw circle and say a prayer. Margaret, Tansy, Dusty, Hurley, Me and Tansy bow our heads and pray for guidance and strength....this may get dangerous.

In vivo calcium elevations in thymocytes with T cell receptors that are specific for self ligands

See allHide authors and affiliations

Science  03 Jul 1992:
Vol. 257, Issue 5066, pp. 96-99
DOI: 10.1126/science.1621102

Selection of the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire in the thymus probably involves TCR-mediated signals transduced in developing thymocytes after interaction with thymic stromal cells bearing self ligands. TCR-transduced signals should have identifiable consequences that would distinguish thymocytes whose TCRs have been engaged by self ligands from those whose TCRs have not. Among thymocytes expressing a transgenic TCR of defined specificity, a large number had elevated intracellular calcium concentrations but only when resident in a negatively selecting thymus in which their self ligand was expressed. Thus, developing thymocytes are stimulated by endogenous ligands in vivo to mobilize intracellular calcium, and increased intracellular calcium concentrations may reflect the consequences of intrathymic signaling associated with thymic negative selection.

Book Review | The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin

A season of endings has begun.

It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun.

It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter.

It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester.

This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

If the Inheritance Trilogy established N. K. Jemisin as a genre writer to be reckoned with, and the Dreamblood Duology demonstrated the range of her capabilities as a creator, book the first of the Broken Earth comprehensively confirms the award-winning worldbuilder as one of our very finest fantasists. Epic in its scope and scale in the same instant as it is intimate, The Fifth Season is rich, relevant and resonant—quite frankly remarkable.

Brilliantly, it begins with an ending; with two intertwined endings, in truth, which, when taken together, foreground Jemisin's focus on the huge and the human. In the first finale, a mother covers the broken body of her little boy—who's been beaten to death by his father simply for being different—with a blanket. Essun does not cover Uche's head, however, "because he is afraid of the dark." (p.1)

These harrowing paragraphs—and paragraphs are all they are, for all their power—are paired with what is, in apocalyptic fiction such as this, a more conventional conclusion. This end "begins in a city: the oldest, largest, and most magnificent living city in the world." (p.2)

Living, is it? Not for long, I'm afraid, for here in Yumenes, at the very centre of the Sanzhen empire, one man brings everything he's ever known to its knees:
He reaches deep and takes hold of the humming tapping bustling reverberating rippling vastness of the city, and the quieter bedrock beneath it, and the roiling churn of heat and pressure beneath that. Then he reaches wide, taking hold of the great sliding-puzzle piece of earthshell on which the continent sits.
Lastly, he reaches up. For power.
He takes all that, the strata and the magma and the people and the power, in his imaginary hands. Everything. He holds it. He is not alone. The earth is with him.
Then he breaks it. (p.7)
If you're wondering who in the world would do such a wicked thing, if you're wondering why... well. These are questions the author answers eventually, but patience, readers, please. If, on the other hand, you're wondering what manner of man has mastery over lava and the like, see the second appendix: he can only be an orogene, or—if you want to be a bigot about it, as most of the people of the Stillness do, to be sure—a rogga, which is to say someone with "the ability to manipulate thermal, kinetic, and related forms of energy." (p.462)

Someone like Damaya: a little girl who is summarily taken from her parents and left to flounder in the Fulcrum, an imperial facility for schooling the so-called savages of said supercontinent into submission at the same time as teaching them how to apply their powers. After all, "any infant can move a mountain; that's instinct. Only a trained Fulcrum orogene can deliberately, specifically, move a boulder." (p.166)

Someone, similarly, like Syenite: a young woman commanded to spend "a month on the road with a man she cannot stand, doing things she doesn't want to do, on behalf of people she increasingly despises." (p.75) But this, she's told, is "what it means to be civilised—doing what her betters say she should, for the ostensible good of all." (p.75) Except orogenes, obviously. But hey, they're not even people, so why should their health or happiness matter?

Someone, last but not least, like Essun: a mother of two who, having hidden her nature for a decade, is forced into action when her husband slaughters their son and runs off with their daughter. In the aftermath of this tragedy, Essun embarks on a journey south in search of something more, be it revenge or redemption; any reason, really, to keep being. She meets a few fellow travellers on the road, of course, including "Tonkee the commless geomest and Hoa the... whatever he is. Because you're pretty sure by now that he's not human. That doesn't bother you; officially speaking, you're not human, either." (p.234)

These, then, are The Fifth Season's central perspectives; outcasts all, for no other reason than a quirk of birth, doing their very best to survive in a world that despises difference; a world which has gone so far as to enshrine its hatred in its laws and its languages:
Stonelore is as old as intelligence. It's all that's allowed humankind to survive through Fifth Season after Fifth Season, as they huddle together while the world turns dark and cold. The lorists tell stories of what happens when people—political leaders or philosophers or well-meaning meddlers of whatever type—try to change the lore. Disaster invariably results. (p.125)
Basically: better not do anything to rock the boat, right?

Even so, some oregenes—such as Syenite's impossibly powerful master Alabaster—surely would if they could. Alas, "words are inadequate to the task. [...] Maybe someday someone will create a language for orogenes to use. Maybe such a language has existed, and been forgotten, in the past." (p.161) But for the time being, at least, they are unable to communicate, and without communication, as our own history has shown, there can be no organisation, and so forth no recourse against those would, for instance, slaughter a toddler, tear a family apart, or breed people like fucking puppies.

Forgive my heavy-handedness, folks. Jemisin, on the whole, is much gentler. That said, there are several scenes in The Fifth Season that made my blood boil—not least the first lesson Damaya's so-called Guardian teacher her, which begins with a bedtime story and ends with a broken hand. This, then, is a routinely brutal book, however the history of violence it imparts is in service of something essential: a sensitive and affecting exploration of otherness—with respect to race, colour, class, creed, gender and sexuality—as seen from the others' eyes.

But one eye is much like another, no? To wit, it's of no small significance that perhaps half of the narrative is told in the second person—a fine stylistic line that Jemisin treads, to tremendous effect, with little evident effort. "You are she. She is you. You are Essun. Remember?" (p.15) This arresting perspective implicates us in the fiction, thus the horrors that befall her befall readers equally; the deeply-ingrained discrimination Essun is subject to, we must suffer through too: her pain is not something she alone owns, for she is we, and we are she. As it should be.

The Fifth Season isn't as easy to read as The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms was, way back when. As yet, it isn't as awesome, or as complete, or as immediately appealing, but it is, I think, the most potent and important book N. K. Jemisin has yet penned. Bolstered by beautifully measured letters—prose so soaring that put me in mind of my personal favourite fantasist's, in fact—a wonderfully worked world, however morally abhorrent it may be, and a cast of cleverly connected characters so tragic that they're true, it's a novel as haunting as it is astonishing.

In and of itself, I'd recommend The Fifth Season without reservation or hesitation—and as the beginning of something bigger, something still more ambitious, the first book of The Broken Earth lays the foundation for a tremendous trilogy I simply thrill at the thought of continuing.

I remember seeing this on the front page of the Bangkok Post, April 12, 1975. I was sixteen years old. I will never, never forget what happened after we abandoned Indochina to the Communists . . . S.L.

U.S. Marines provide cover during Operation Eagle Pull as Americans and Cambodians board Marine helicopters in Phnom Penh during the final U.S. pullout of Cambodia. (AP Photo/File)

Five days after Operation Eagle Pull, the dramatic evacuation of Americans, the U.S.-backed government fell as Communist Khmer Rouge guerrillas stormed into Phnom Penh. Nearly 2 million Cambodians - one in every four - would die from executions, starvation and hideous torture.

Twelve helicopters, bristling with guns and U.S. Marines, breached the morning horizon and began a daring descent toward Cambodia's besieged capital. Residents believed the Americans were rushing in to save them, but at the U.S. Embassy, in a bleeding city about to die, the ambassador wept.

Forty years later, John Gunther Dean recalls one of the most tragic days of his life — April 12, 1975 - the day the United States "abandoned Cambodia and handed it over to the butcher."

"We'd accepted responsibility for Cambodia and then walked out without fulfilling our promise. That's the worst thing a country can do," he says in an interview in Paris. "And I cried because I knew what was going to happen."

Thank you, Peace Movement, for giving us the lowest point in American history, and handing millions over to Communist butchers to be slaughtered.

  1. We also did the same to the South Vietnamese. To this very day I don't know what happened to our battalion interpreter.

  2. TomR,armed in TexasApril 12, 2015 at 3:24 AM

    I was an L19 Birddog crew chief at Camau RVN. in 1966-69. I have yet to run across one Vietnamese that got out from that deep in the Mekong Delta. For almost 50 years I can only guess what happened to the scores of Vietnamese I befriended in those days. It is too difficult for me to cry about them. I can only hate the American Democratic Party and Henry Kissinger for giving them to the communists. Today I just wish the best for Vietnam and can see it as a potential ally as China flexes her new muscles.

  3. The difference between the American Democratic Party and the American Communist Party is.... Well, I'm sure there is one, I just can't think of what it might be.

    Paul L. Quandt

  4. What happened after both of our betrayals tears at the decent, while those responsible(the dems, leftists, and progs) see and take absolutely no ownership for the wholesale slaughter by their counterparts in Asia. It is sad, sick reality, a repeat to be avoided at all costs.

  5. I read about it in the ship's newspaper when I was aboard USS Independence CV62 in the Mediterranean Sea

  6. Is this the Beginning of the end of the Blog??

    1. I sure hope not. I keep checking each morning.... Must still be deployed... What goes TDY stays TDY I guess

  7. I hope this all comes back on line soon!

  8. this is really the beginning of end as world is battling with guns.

  9. guns has demolished our world. this is high time to stop this arm race.

The Chartered Institute of Housing is the independent voice for housing and the home of professional standards

Rising Stars 2018 - the final ten: Holly Messenger

As they fight for your votes, each of our Rising Stars finalists has been asked to blog about housing and how they would use winning the competition to the benefit of the sector. Here Holly Messenger puts her case forward.

After some persuasive encouragement from the team at Wokingham Housing (WHL) this year I took the plunge and submitted my application. I hope that through doing this, 2018 will be my year to shine as the CIH Rising Star. As part of this process I have to write this blog piece and so here I am, starting with what becoming the Rising Star will mean for me.

I want to:

See beyond bricks and mortar. I currently work in the development side of the sector but that’s only one part of this diverse industry. I also have a huge interest in the homes that ultimately provide

Housing for individuals who need it most and I continue to have an appetite to learn more about that. If I was the Rising Star I hope that I could use this opportunity to become an

Inspiration for other future Rising Stars once I had made the most of the process. What I hope to get out of this application is access to

Networking and partnership opportunities for succeeding. I still have a lot to learn but luckily for me

Every day’s a school day and being shortlisted will help progress my learning.

I see the process of Rising Star 2018 as an amazing opportunity to raise the profile of myself and all the nominated candidates. This is important because I want to succeed in the sector beyond my current role as development manager.

When asked to consider my professional development in the year it is easier to talk about what happened last year. It was a big year for WHL and myself, I was heavily involved in the planning and eventual delivery of two flagship developments as well as five other smaller schemes. I also had some professional development highlights in the successful completion of my Level 7 Certificate of Housing and attending the CIH Brighton conference. If I was fortunate to win the Rising Star award I would look to continue this professional development through focusing on key issues. These include the Hackitt Review Paper and the recommendations that follow, the Homelessness Reduction Act, affordable housing and Universal Credit roll out and how these will affect WHL.

A big part of the Rising Star experience is the all-important networking. This is something that I have started to improve on and I have come to realise how useful and rewarding it can be. Having a network of people whether online or in person to discuss important topics allows me to be the best at my job for current and future tenants who are ultimately at the receiving end of the professional decisions I make.

I finally joined Twitter at the end of last year and have discovered how supportive people in housing are and how willing people are to share ideas. I am trying to actively become a part of the housing twitter world. If I am named Rising Star 2018 I will shine by continuing to explore networking and sharing my genuine passion for housing with those I meet and perhaps one day through the opportunities this award will give me I can return the favour to new individuals coming into the sector.

What this award will do is open doors to peers and leaders in the industry and this presents a fantastic opportunity to share best practice and learn important industry lessons. I was fortunate to sit at the same table as Terrie Alafat, chief executive of CIH, at a CIH leader’s lunch in Brighton this year listening to her discuss issues with those at my table. I found this really inspiring and I want to work towards becoming someone who inspires others in housing, appreciating the positive contribution you can make through working in this sector.

Collaborative and partnership working can be vital tools in delivering truly affordable housing and services for those who need it. Meeting peers and leaders outside of WHL and maintaining these relationships is an important part of ensuring the delivery to the tenants of what they want and need.

I really appreciate being shortlisted for Rising Star 2018 and the opportunity this affords to raise my profile in the sector.

Optimizing Your Purchases: Planning and Sourcing

Are you interested in optimizing your purchases? This article will help you analyze your planning and sourcing activities with the aim of identifying possible inefficiencies in your procurement process.

Why it's important for your business

Purchases from external vendors can represent a large category of spending for your company. The Business Development Bank of Canada estimates that small businesses spend between 45 and 65 percent of their sales revenue on procurement of raw materials or services. Therefore, it is important that you put as much effort into your procurement operations as you do into other business functions like marketing or sales. Analyzing your procurement processes and procedures, such as how you plan purchases and source from suppliers, can help you identify inefficiencies and reduce the cost of future purchases.

Efficient and effective planning and sourcing activities will help you:

  • Increase transparency and accountability
  • Get the best value with your purchasing funds
  • Better plan, monitor and control your purchases
  • Avoid unwanted or unnecessary purchases

Where do you stand?

The following questions can help you with your own assessment:

  • How are procurement needs identification done?
  • Do you have a procurement plan?
  • Who is the person responsible for purchasing?
  • How are purchasing requests made and approved?
  • How do you qualify and identify new suppliers?
  • Do you conduct supplier market research on regular basis?
  • Who decides on the sourcing method to be used for a purchase, and how is the decision made?
  • Who defines purchases’ evaluation criteria and how?
  • Who is responsible for and involved in the supplier selection process?
  • Who negotiates with suppliers?

For example, you may find out that your company does not have a procurement planning system in place, that too many employees are involved in the sourcing process, or that internal procedures are not well defined or understood by your staff.

    Step by step diagnostic

    Let's have now a closer look at the purchasing or procurement cycle steps depicted in the above diagram. This will help you be more precise with your own analysis.

    The purchasing cycle can be divided in 9 steps:

    Let’s focus on analyzing the planning and sourcing activities (Step 1 to Step 6).

    STEP 1. Identify procurement needs [what and when]

    Your purchasing department should perform a procurement needs assessment and develop a procurement plan at least once a year.

    The following are the key activities to plan procurements:

    1. Determine what goods, works and services need to be purchased
    2. Determine when goods, works, and services need to be purchased
    3. Start preparing your procurement plan

    [Back to top]

      STEP 2. Conduct supplier market research [from whom and at what cost]

      Supplier market research is an important activity that you need to conduct on a regular basis. Both your purchasing department and individuals requesting the purchases need to conduct supplier market research, especially when the needed items are non-standard. Supplier market research helps you with:

      • Defining the requirements of your purchases
      • Identifying and assessing potential suppliers and their market saturation
      • Estimating the costs of your future purchases

      [Back to top]

        STEP 3. Determine the procurement method [how]

        Determine the procurement method for the purchase of each category of goods, works and services.  The table below explains the three most commonly used procurement methods that you may want to consider, including advice about when to use them:

        Main advantages:

         - Promote competiton, transparency and accountability
         - Maximize the possibilities of getting the best value for money in your purchases, as you have a greater choice of suppliers

          Main advantages:

           - Non-bureaucratic process that usually takes less time to process and involves less paperwork than a competitive method

            Request for Proposal (RFP)

            Request for Quotation (RFQ)

            Sole-sourcing or direct-sourcing

            Definition: includes an invitation to potential suppliers to bid, followed by an evaluation process and a contract award. In some cases, there is an invitation to express interest to shortlist potential suppliers before the RFP is issued.

            Definition: simplified bidding process used to solicit the price of standard goods or services from external suppliers.  An RFQ may involve not only the price per item, but additional information such as the delivery method and date, or the warranty.

            Definition: limited process of soliciting from and negotiating with only one supplier. If you use this method you will not go through Steps 4 and 5 of the sourcing process.

            • Used for procurements that are critical to your organization (e.g. high value and high risk procurements)
            • Usually used for services, works and complex goods
            • Usually quality has most of the weight in the evaluation or selection criteria
            • Usually used when the buyer is commited to buy once the process finalizes
            • Used for procurements that are non-critical for your company
            • Usually used for standard goods that have well-defined requirements
            • Price has most of the weight in the evaluation or selection criteria
            • The solicitation process is simpler and quicker than an RFP
            • The buyer may not be committed to buy (can be used to request price information only)
            • Used for very small purchases of standard goods and services
            • Used for emergency or urgent situations, or when only one provider in the market can supply the requested goods and services
            • Used when it represents a clear advantage over the use of a competitive method

            [Back to top]

            STEP 4. Create the bidding documents

            Create the bidding documents according to the procurement method chosen. Usually the bidding documents will be prepared by the purchasing department together with the units requesting the purchase, depending on how complex the purchase is.

            [Back to top]

            STEP 5. Conduct the request for bids/solicitations

            Publicize the request for bids, according to the bid publication method chosen. Your purchasing department should conduct the request for bids. You should aim to receive a minimum of three offers before taking any final purchasing decision.

            [Back to top]

            STEP 6. Select, negotiate and award the contract

            Choose the supplier that offers best value for your business, according to the established evaluation criteria. Often, offer selection is conducted by at least two people: a procurement specialist (a person from the purchasing department) and a person from the department requiring the purchase. Depending on the importance of the purchase, management may also get involved.

            Conduct the purchase

            A Purchase Order (PO) is a purchasing document that your purchasing department sends to a supplier to confirm the order of a product or service, in a determined quantity and agreed price. Once the seller accepts the PO, it becomes a binding contract agreement between your company and the supplier. A PO is also used to better plan and control your purchasing expenses, and it can be used as a substitute of a contract between you and a supplier, depending on the type of purchase.

            Click here to download a PO template.

            Putting it all together

            When defining your procurement planning and sourcing activities, you should make sure to:

            • Plan for purchases.
            • Conduct market research frequently.
            • Use an RFP when purchases are critical or high risk to your business,
            • Compare at least three offers from different suppliers before making a purchasing decision.
            • Train your staff on your company’s procurement procedures.
            • Provide training to people responsible for procurement on procurement methods, evaluation methods, market research, and negotiation techniques with suppliers.

            For a more detailed explanation of procurement planning and sourcing activities, please refer to this document.

Fontys – FPGA video encoder/decoder (Bachelor Thesis)

Graduation project at Philips TASS (now TASS Software Professionals), with the goal to design and implement a FPGA based video encoder and decoder application using the Celoxica RC200 (Xilinx Virtex II FPGA based) development board and the Handel-C hardware description language.

The FPGA video encoder and decoder are based on the RmaxCmax compression algorithm developed by Philips Research Laboratories. This compression algorithm uses discrete cosine transforms (DCT), like MPEG and JPEG. The algorithm transforms pixel blocks (of 8×4 or 8×8) into DCT coefficient blocks. The bit-planes of these DCT coefficient blocks (starting with the most significant bit-plane) are then compressed using zonal coding (meaning that only a small area of the bit-plane will be transmitted/stored). This data is then serialized in a way that the most significant data is transmitted/stored first. The resulting bit-string can be cut off at any length (to increase the compression), the remaining bit-string will produce the “best possible” image quality for the remaining data size.

A graphical user interface (GUI) is programs within the FPGA itself, and provides the user with a fast and simple interface to view the encoding/decoding process and tweak the settings. The user can select a part of the video input, set the quality (read bit-rate), and can view the resulting decoded video output.

Fontys – Wireless 3D Game Controller

The wireless 3D game controller version 1.0 is the result of HBO project (pre Nintendo Wii era). The wireless game controller system uses four tilt switches and four AM signal-meters to determine the tilting position and location in 3D space of the wireless game controller. We liked to use accelerometers, but these were out of our budget.

The game controller itself is build around an Atmel AVR ATTiny15L microcontroller combined with a 433MHz AM transmitter, four tilt switches, and four normal pressure switches. The microcontroller controller is programmed using AVR assembler, the program scans all the 8 buttons (4 tilt + 4 normal) and transmits a data frame with their status using the AM transmitter.

The base station contains an Atmel C51 AT89C5132 microcontroller combined with a 433MHz AM receiver, four AM signal-meters divided over two columns (every column has one signal-meter in the top and one in the bottom), and an USB1.1 connection to a PC. This controller is programmed using ANSI C, the program reads the data frame received from the wireless game controller, samples the signal-strength of the four AM signal-meters, and combines this information into a single USB data frame.

The PC reads the USB data from the base station using a small Delphi application, this application calculated the controller’s position using the signal strengths from the signal-meters, enables the user to calibrate the controller, and makes it possible to map virtual mouse and keyboard inputs to the controller inputs. This mapping makes it possible to use the controller in every existing application.
