Network management involves the design of techniques for the monitoring and
control of computer networks to ensure optimal performance and resource utilization.
We focus on fault management whose aim is to detect, diagnose, localize, and
recover from hardware and software failures and performance bottlenecks that
may plague a network. We are also interested in the management of wireless
networks including methods for managing mobility to provide seamless operation
of network services.
In network optimization we aim to provide provably optimal or near optimal
solutions to a range of power specification and control problems arising in
wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. The primary focus is on topology control
(assigning power levels to network nodes so as to achieve a specified network
topology) in both stationary and mobile networks. Additional work includes
the study of relay node placement and of power back off as a collision resolution
mechanism.

An agent is a computer system capable of flexible, autonomous action in dynamic
multi-agent environments. The success of the Internet has shown that computing
is no longer only about fast numerical calculation, or isolated information
processing. It is now also about interaction and coordination amongst machines,
and between machines and people. The MAS laboratory focuses on the science
of coordination in applications ranging from distributed energy management
and emergency response support to scientific information gathering.
Human Language Technologies Laboratory
100 Elkton Road, Professors Sandra Carberry and Kathy McCoy.
The Human Language Technology Laboratory is an umbrella for two language-related laboratories: disabilities technology and discourse. The laboratory closely collaborates with the Statistical Information Retrieval Laboratory and the Text Mining Laboratory.
The Disabilities Technology Laboratory, directed by Kathy McCoy, develops intelligent interfaces for people with disabilities that affect their ability to communicate. The ICICLE System is an intelligent English grammar checker and tutor for people who are deaf. Other projects assist people who have special communication needs. We make "talking with" a computer faster and more natural. Another project is to help a person who has visual impairments "scan" a text to find the area relevant to answering a question.
The Discourse Laboratory, under the direction of Sandra Carberry, addresses
problems related to discourse and dialogue. The Graphs project treats information
graphics (bar charts, line graphs, etc.) as a form of discourse with a communicative
goal. We are applying language understanding and generation techniques to index,
store, and retrieve graphics from a digital library, to develop an interactive
dialogue system that conveys the content of graphics via speech to individuals
with sight impairments, and to develop an interactive graph design assistant
that will critique graphs with the objective of improving them so that they
achieve their communicative goal. Current collaborators include Dr. Stephanie
Elzer (Millersville University), Dr. Dan Chester, and graduate students.
Statistical Information Retrieval Laboratory
77/79 East Delaware Ave, Professor Ben Carterette.
The Statistical Information Retrieval Laboratory pursues novel models of information
organization, storage, access, retrieval, and integration using statistical
and information-theoretic approaches. One of the key problems in developing
such models is that optimizing and evaluating their utility requires human
input. We aim to minimize the human cost, or to accomplish much more with an
allotted cost, thereby allowing research and development to proceed much faster.
Text Mining Laboratory
102 Smith Hall, Professor Vijay Shanker.
The Text Mining Laboratory, directed by Vijay Shanker, is concerned with the
development of language technology algorithms to assist scientists to rapidly
access relevant information from research literature. Projects include the
extraction of targeted information, retrieval of relevant textual passages,
and assistance in the knowledge discovery process. A related project involves
rapid adaptation of language processing tools that were developed for a general
domain to be used in a specific domain. A third project involves multi-disciplinary
effort that integrates natural language cues found in large software programs
and program analysis for multiple software development and maintenance tasks.
Computational Learning Laboratory
342 Smith Hall, Professor John Case.
The members of the Computational Learning Laboratory do theoretical, mathematical
work regarding abstract machine models of, among other things, learning and
self-modeling.

CLERKS A film review by Ben Hoffman Copyright 1994 Ben Hoffman
Made on the very meager budget of under $30,000, by a dropout from film school, CLERKS is one of the funniest, good-natured and vocally raunchy movie in a long, long while. Originally slapped with the dreaded NC-17, on appeal it was given an R rating.
Dante Hicks (Brian O'Halloran) is a clerk at the Quick Stop Groceries, in New Jersey, a convenience store where the nuttiest customers in the world seem to frequent. There is, to cite but one example of many, the elderly man who asks to use the employee restroom but who then requests to borrow one of the porn mags on the shelf to take with him into the toilet.
"Working" in a miserable video store next door, where he treats the customers with utter disdain, is his friend, Randal (Jeff Anderson). Throughout the film, where every other word consists of four letters spoken in a most offhand relaxed manner, are the customers with whom the two have to contend, each of who is odd in his own way. Randal is of the belief that every customer should be insulted.
Writer-director Kevin Smith who himself worked on and off in a convenience store does a masterful job in this his first film. But this is much more than a mere recounting of his experiences as a register jockey. This is one funny film.
Also starring are Marilyn Ghigliotti (as Dante's devoted girlfriend, Veronica) and Lisa Spoonauer (as Caitlin, the high school ex-sweetheart who has just announced she is getting married).

IEC: No Results Announcement Until Provincial Offices Open
Abdullah’s Team: Provincial IEC offices will remain closed until non-biometric votes are invalidated.
by Haseba AtakpalThe Independent Election Commission (IEC) said on Friday it will not announce the results of the presidential election until seven provincial offices currently closed by Abdullah Abdullah’s campaign team are opened.
Despite serious objections by Abdullah’s Stability and Convergence team and many others, the IEC restarted the vote recount this past Sunday,
Officials at the IEC say the process has concluded in 24 provinces, is ongoing in three, and has not started in seven.
The deputy head of the IEC, Esmatullah Mal, said the commission will decide about vote invalidation once the recount process has ended.
“If we had the results from these 24 provinces, we could proceed with the ‘legally-mandated process’ and in one or two days we would announce the preliminary results,” said Mal.
Meanwhile, the Stability and Convergence Campaign said that as long as the “legal” demands of the presidential candidates to invalidate non-biometric votes are not accepted, the IEC's provincial offices will remain closed.
Mohammad Mohaqiq, who is a member of Abdullah’s team, insisted that the IEC is working for Ashraf Ghani's team and those who have committed election fraud should be brought to court.
“It is very obvious that it is fraud, and it is in fact a national betrayal … The organizers of such a fraud should be tried as national traitors,” Mohaqiq added.
The main argument is over 300,000 disputed votes currently included in the total, which the electoral teams insist are not valid.
Therefore, a number of electoral teams, including Abdullah Abdullah's team, have boycotted the recount process and their observers are not present in the counting process.
The Afghan presidential election was held on September 28, but the IEC has still not announced the outcome of the preliminary results.
On Thursday, council of presidential candidates, consisting of ten elector teams, warned that whatever the outcome of the election will be, they will not accept it.
Election observers say that the recount will not be valid because the election observers from the campaign team are not present at the provincial IEC offices.
But, Yusuf Rashid, the executive director of the Free and Fair Election Foundation of Afghanistan, said that the IEC had to act:
“They (IEC) had to ... eliminate ambiguity and start the counting and auditing process.”

Detention Camp Warden:
That's right.
So we keep asking for help from the clan's adventurers...
Of course, the high-ranked strategists, scholars and mystics are constantly looking for a more permanent solution.
But with the fortresses in a state of constant strife, that doesn't seem likely any time soon.
In the meantime, there's nothing else to do but keep suppressing the monsters the old-fashioned way.
What can I do?

This function converts data on an agent-based level (1 row = 1 agent)
relative when an agent is in each state and aggregates it, so that the user
can know how many agents are in each state at a given time point (integer
based). This function can take standard data.frame
s and
grouped_df
data.frame
s (from dplyr). For the
later, this function aggregates within grouping parameters and also provides
the columns associated with the grouping.
D.1. What each column should have (NAs, orderings, births & deaths,...)
The parameters state
, death
, birth
, and
min_max_time
provide the user with the flexibility to capture any
potential structure related to agent's progression to through the epidemic
(and life).
As mentioned in the states
parameter details, we expect a set of
column names X1
, X2
, ..., XK
that contain information on
when an individual enters each state. Also mentioned in the parameter details
is that the function assumes that each agent is in the initial state
X0
until X1
(except if min_max_time[1] >= X1
,
which means the agent starts out at state X1
).
This function expects transition in an ordered fashion, i.e.
X(I+1) >= X(I)
, but does allow agents to jump states. This can either
be recorded with a value at the jumped state the same as the next non-jumped
state or an NA
(and the authors of this package believe this is a
cleaner approach - and matches expectation in birth
and death
).
Specifically, birth
and death
can contain NA
values,
which the function interprets as an individual not being born (or dying
respectively) in the given time interval.
The time interval (defined by min_max_time
) can be moved, which
abstractly just shifts the rows (or time points) the user gets at the end.
D.2. Changing time points
Beyond defining the time interval with min_max_time
, if a user wishes
to have more minute (smaller) time steps than integers, we recommend they
just multiple all values by \(1/s\) where \(s\) is the length of the
desired time steps. A transformation of the output's t

17 Comics That Show the Situations Every Professional Has Gotten Themselves Into
Oftentimes being an expert in a certain profession turns you into a superhero to those who are around you. However, these people somehow always expect you to know, do, and be ready to help, even with things that are completely out of the realm of your expertise: a system administrator should be able to repair anything technical, while an accountant should be able to help with any kind of calculations, instantly and without any mistakes.
We at Bright Side have been watching people in different professions and created the following comics about their clients’ strange requests.
1. The photographer
2. The nail design master
3. The teacher
4. The accountant
5. The doctor
6. The designer
7. The translator
8. The builder
9. The pharmacist
10.The taxi driver
11. The seamstress
12. The system administrator
13. The psychologist
14. The cook
15. The painter
16. The bartender
17. The lawyer
Bonus #1: The blogger
Bonus #2: The friend
What weird requests do you encounter in your profession? We would be glad to hear from you in the comments!

An L5 RLSL Somatic dysfunction would most likely be associated with which of the following sacral somatic dysfunctions?
Answer: E. Right on left sacral torsion. L5 rotates in the opposite direction as the sacrum, so L5 rotated to the left indicates the sacrum is rotated to the right.
A 64 year old female patient presents to your office with pain in the lower back. She was gardening over the weekend when the pain became worse. Physical exam findings: Landmarks are Sacral sulcus- right shallow and ILA- left anterior/superior. Motion testing: Sphinx test- positive. Which of the following best describes the muscle energy treatment utilized to normalize this dysfunction?
Answer: Answer: C. Flex the hips to less than 90 degrees. For non-neutral sacral torsions, the patient is prone, knees bent so that side of oblique axis is closest to table. The knees will be greater than 90 degrees (knees further from chest), while the patient lifts their ankles toward the ceiling.

LOVE Binti. project is held by STEP30, a Taiwanese organization committed to supporting people in East Africa for the long term. This project originated from discovering the lack of sanitary products for teenage Kenyan girls during menstrual cycles. They would use alternative things or even put themselves in prostitution to exchange a pack of sanitary pads. Therefore, we taught Kenya teenage girls to make reusable sanitary pads and conveyed the value of being women.
I accompanied kids in precious kids contre, an orphanage that accept disabled kids. Kenyan abandoned their functionally-disabled children because they think of difference from most people as a curse.
I also joined a family and did everything they did in one day, including chopping the wood, killing a chicken, cooking it, carrying water from far away to home, etc.
While experiencing severe cultural shock, I broadened my horizons. Knowing that there is somewhere different from where I live, I lowered myself and was more grateful to the resources I used to take for granted.

What learnings did you take from the chapter?
Reading the chapter 'Even an engineer can thrive on emotional intelligence' taught me that there are five domains of emotional intelligence:
- self-awareness
- self-regulation
- motivation
- empathy; and
- social skills
Emotional intelligence is an important quality in a wide range of work spaces and industries. It the core of what allows individuals to work and succeed as a team. Leaders with a high emotional intelligence are better at cultivating open and honest lines of communication within a team/organisation. What is particularly interesting is that emotional intelligence can be learned. This links to the concept of neuroplasticity and the idea that what we think, do, and pay attention to, changes the structure and function of our brains. This means that we can intentionally grow and develop our emotional intelligence through training.
How did you find the two minutes of mindfulness?
I enjoyed the two minutes of mindfulness. It allowed me to bring my attention to my breath and to try and create a mind of just being.


A few days ago, I took a journey. I traveled through a world beyond the comprehension of someone who has never had a chemical induced experience. What I saw cannot be described, but for some reason, I feel the extreme urge to try in order to help all the people out there that are thinking of trying this substance.
OK, to start off the story, this was not my first time trying salvia. I'd tried it several times before, but it had never worked like I thought it should. I'm not sure if the other stuff I was trying wasn't potent enough or if I wasn't smoking it right or what, but I'd never gotten more than just a small body buzz. But I was determined to take the trip that all these people were talking about.
It was about 8 o'clock at night and I had purchased about a gram of 20x extract from a friend of mine earlier that day. They didn't want it because it was 'too freaky.' I figured what the hell, it's cheap and it's stronger than all the other extracts I've tried, what's the harm? Boy was I in for a surprise. I was over at a friends house when I decided to pull it out. Another friend of mine had always heard about it and wanted to try it too. I'm into sharing, so I figured it would be a good idea to 'trip' with someone else.
I didn't have a pipe or bong or anything handy, so I just used a good ol' fashion can. I cut the holes and the carb and all that good stuff and packed the 'bowl' with about 3 or 4 hits worth of the good stuff. I went out onto my friends porch/dog pen and proceeded to light the bowl. I sucked on the can until I could taste the smoke and knew it was full. I released the carb, took in all the smoke, and handed it off to my fellow psychonaut.
 All of these distorted images of my surroundings were freezing in motion and flying past me. I tried to grab onto anything I could to keep form falling, but to no avail. Keep in mind that I did not know that I fell, I was just told later.
I was no longer on that porch, but in a terrifying, swirling collage of images that were both based on reality and hallucination. I could see all things flying past my head, like a slide show moving at warp speed past my face. I saw random hands and eyes and feet and other body parts protruding through my vision, but I could only make out certain things, like my friends eyeballs and hat. Everything surrounding those was unreal to say the least. I wish I could tell you what it was, but you'd just have to see it to have some idea.
All of a sudden, I felt like this was my permanent reality, like I could never go back to what I had. I tried desperately to wake up or roll over or open my eyes. It all felt like a dream, but deep inside knew it wasn't.  Then, all of a sudden, I was back out on the porch, standing with my friends, holding their hands. I felt like I'd been gone for at least a half hour
Now, from what I hear from my friends, as soon as I passed the can, my eyes opened as wide as they could and I started looking around at things that (obviously) weren't there. Then, I fell off the stool and onto the chicken wire barrier and just laid there. I didn't try to get up or move or anything, I just sat on the wire with my eyes and mouth wide open. My friends both tried to help me out and that's where the holding hands part came in. As they helped my up, I hugged them and rubbed their arms and held their hands and just couldn't keep my hands to myself. Keep in mind that I couldn't even see them! I was just trying to hold onto something real, something tangible that wasn't part of my hallucination. It was friggin' crazy!
The whole experience lasted about 3 minutes, but it felt a lot longer than that. I will never forget the things I saw and I will never be able to describe them in words. If you want to have a vague idea of what I'm talking about, just go out and do it and you'll know what I'm tlaking about. There is no way to describe the incredible things you will see. No matter how scary this account might sound, I'll tell you, it was one of the most incredible, exciting, life-changing experiences I've ever had and I wouldn't hesitate to do it all over again.  It's well worth your time.

We passed 3 million entries in our log data for InteractivePython.org which got me to wondering about how we are growing. The site has been live for 275 days. You can really see how the site took off after day 100, which makes sense because that was bout the time fall classes started around the country. The tiny plateau between day 225 and 250 corresponds to Christmas/winter break for most schools, and now that Spring semester is in full swing it looks like the slope has gotten steeper again.
The dotted line is the linear best fit line with a slope of 12,836.7. Even if our log database is not growing exponentially thats an impressively steep slope.
And just because this is all about Python and education, here's the Python code that created the graph. I love matplotlib, it is such a powerful tool for quickly looking at your data.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from numpy import polyfit, arange f = open('bydate','r') days = f.readlines() totals = [0] for d in days: day,count = d.split('|') count = int(count) totals.append(totals[-1]+count) x = arange(len(totals)) m,b = polyfit(x,totals,1) print m plt.plot(x,totals,x,m*x+b, '--k') plt.ylim(ymin=0) plt.show()
The data file is simple. One day per line with the date in one column and the number of actions in the other column. Here are the last few days:

Why We’re Polarized
Ezra Klein (2020)
Categories: Nonfiction, Politics
TL;DR: In an interesting analysis of the current moment in American history and politics, Vox co-founder Ezra Klein first builds a framework to understand systems of polarization before examining those systems at work in recent history.
Since I think Ezra Klein is a thoughtful person and I also enjoy listening to his podcast, I decided to pick up his self-recorded audiobook of Why We’re Polarized as a long-form podcast of sorts about polarization.
In the first half of the book, Klein builds up a theory of polarization that references interesting psychology and sociology research, before delving into the history of how the political system of the United States has become more polarized in the past fifty years. Much of what he goes over is insightful and makes a lot of sense in the current political moment; a lot of it is also information that I’ve already been exposed to through the media that I regularly consume.
A particularly interesting conclusion explored in the book is that our political identities have become mega-identites that consist of a compilation of our other identities (i.e. left: coffee-drinking, coastal dwelling, atheist, pro-choice, pro-marijuana legalization, etc.), and when an individual identity is threatened, it threatens our broader political identity. Instead of making a judgment about whether polarization is good or bad, Klein argues that it is here to stay and we should adapt our systems to better function under political polarization – ideas like eliminating the filibuster and the electoral college, ranked choice voting, and being mindful of the identities that we inhabit.
Quick comment about the actual recording: Ezra Klein speaks quickly, which means this is hard to listen to on 1.5x or 2x speed – I ended up listening at the actual pace, but it’s a relatively short book and easy listen so I didn’t mind much. It did take a while to get used to him strongly emphasizing parts of sentences to get his point across (moreso than other narrators), and chuckling to himself when reading something particularly surprising.
Overall, I thought this was an insightful book that describes the current political moment thoughtfully and accurately.
The Power
Naomi Alderman (2016)
Categories: Science Fiction, Dystopia
TL;DR: Written as a historical dramatization of the events spurred on by women suddenly manifestating the ability to produce electrical shocks from their bodies, this novel reads like pushing a snowball down a mountain: at first exciting and even cathartic, then slowly building and building until it becomes a destructive avalanche.
For me, the two most interesting aspects of The Power were the framing of the story, and the parallels of certain scenes to modern-day life. The story starts and ends five thousand years in the future in a matriarchal world with a series of letters from a male author writing to get advice to a female author. The man is a part of a male writers club, and is struggling to find an audience for his non-fiction books which proclaim that women were not always the dominant gender – a version of history that is inconvenient to those in power. It’s a thought-provoking exercise to compare their relationship, and many of the other relationships in the book, to how power dynamics play out today.
 We follow four main characters: a male reporter from Nigeria who documents uprisings around the world, a young girl from America who uses her power to kill her abusive father, the daughter of a mob boss in London, and an American politician who becomes an advocate for young girls with power.
I finished the book with a strange feeling of unresolved anxiety; the entire story builds up to a climax, but the climax is implied and never actually shown. The last couple of chapters are short and sparsely detailed, and there is a lot left open to interpretation (so much so that I went back and re-read the last couple of chapters immediately after finishing). I would have liked more details at the the end, and perhaps more detail about the history that was taught five-thousand years afterwards, but overall, this was an enjoyable and engrossing read.
Winners Take All
Anand Giridharadas (2018)
Categories: Non-fiction, Politics, Business, Philanthropy
TL;DR: This book breaks down the traditional win-win narrative of business – that it’s possible to effect transformational, positive change on the world while making a profit – and offers a compelling case that real and lasting change will not come from the very wealthy.
Anand Giridharadas is a very articulate speaker; I came to this book after stumbling upon a couple of videos of his speaking engagements that I couldn’t turn away from. People like me – graduates of elite universities wondering how we can positively impact the world – are one of the subjects of his writing as he examines why we worship businesses as vehicles for change.
The book coins the term MarketWorld, which is used to represent the philosophy around business in our age that has been perpetuated by billionaires and large corporations: that the best way to bring about positive change is through the lens of business, which helps both the businesses and its customers live a better life.
Young people are flocking to jobs in consulting, technology, and finance in order to gain the tools to “change the world” that we’ve been taught from a young age to admire, and the people in charge genuinely believe that they’re making the world better. However, the book introduces us to a host of people that help deconstruct this idea, from a disillusioned employee of a consulting firm, an academic whose work has been taken out of context and adopted in lieu of actual systemic change, and the president of the Ford foundation who holds his own misgivings about how philanthropy is carried out.
Check out this longer post I wrote for a summary of the book’s main argument. I’ve included this as a recommended book because its ideas resonate with me, but to be honest, I’d recommend his speaking engagements or appearances on podcasts as a more concise, easier to digest medium of absorbing this information.
The Poppy War
R. F. Kuang (2018)
Categories: Adult Fantasy, Historical Fiction
TL;DR: If you’re interested in the the brutality of war, fantasy school settings, or questionable decision making, then you’ll enjoy the story of Rin, a bright and obsessive young woman desperate to escape her abusive parents and arranged marriage who tests into the most prestigious university in the country during a time of impending danger.
The Poppy War and The Dragon Republic are the first two books of the Poppy War Trilogy, with the third book set to come out in late 2020.
I first heard about this book through an interview with the author on YouTube. During the interview, she describes the fundamental question that she wanted to explore in this series: How does someone born into a peasant family in rural China rise to power and become a megalomaniac, mass murderer like Mao Zedong?
I think that’s a profoundly interesting question, and it’s why I picked up The Poppy War. The book draws inspiration for its setting from the Song Dynasty and its events from 19th and 20th century China.
The Poppy War tells the story of a young girl named Rin who is incredibly driven. She goes to college, learns some secrets about the world, and is thrust into the middle of a war as her country is invaded. There is magic in this world, but it’s not the typical western-style Harry Potter/LOTR magic system that we normally see - it’s a spiritual connection with one of the many gods of the world that can be accessed by doing lots of drugs.
The prose is not the most beautiful that I’ve read, and there are so many characters that many come off as one-dimensional. I definitely don’t think this series is for everyone — there is a lot of tragedy and death, and our main girl Rin is an easily manipulated, morally questionable, and a pretty bad decision maker.
That being said, I found the story completely addicting to read. I could hardly put it down, and I bought the second book immediately after finishing the first.
The Dragon Republic
R. F. Kuang (2019)
Categories: Adult Fantasy, Historical Fiction
TL;DR: The second book in the Poppy War Trilogy is an exciting sequel that manages to raise the stakes, improve upon the action, and dive deeper into the lore of Rin’s world as Rin finds herself at the center of a civil war between competing ideologies.
The Dragon Republic is the sequel to The Poppy War, and it’s even better than its predecessor. The story continues with Rin shortly after the conclusion of the previous book, and there’s even more fighting, betrayal, heartbreak, death, blood, and gore. The plot jumps from important event to important event as we see Rin and her allies endure massive suffering that ultimately leads to a surprising and impressively executed ending.
Both of these novels in this series don’t shy away from the atrocities committed during war and take their time dwelling on the haunting consequences of those atrocities. It gets very dark, not in the most dramatic and emotional way, but in a precise, calculating, morbid way.
Kuang does a great job of pivoting the story toward a broader scope than the first book. The shortcomings I mentioned in my review of The Poppy War – the prose and characterization – are both improved upon in this book. I’m looking forward to reading the conclusion of the trilogy later this year, which I’m sure will raise the stakes even higher. The series’ historical perspective is fascinating, and Kuang does a great job creating tense situations, high stakes, and a war story that is definitely worth following.
The Sword of Kaigen
M. L. Wang (2019)
Categories: Adult Fiction, High Fantasy, Military Fantasy
TL;DR: This is easily one of my new favorites – the characterization, world-building, and gripping action in The Sword of Kaigen feels at once both deeply personal and cosmically sweeping as we follow a warrior family through a time of great unrest in their household and their country.
This book is seriously so good!!
We follow two main protagonists: Misaki Matsuda, a wife and mother who feels oppressed and disillusioned in the traditional patriarchal village that she has married into, and her firstborn son Mamoru, who must balance the pressure to live up to the high expectations of his Matsuda bloodline and the faltering narrative of history that he has been taught.
The adult military fantasy novel is set in a country called Kaigen, and Wang does a great job seamlessly introducing Japanese-inspired cultural concepts and an elemental magic system to create a beautiful, character-driven story with two (!) climaxes and many beautiful fight scenes.
Misaki is such a strong character, and her story arc was immensely compelling and satisfying to read. At the beginning of the story, she is a housewife who has been forced into a subservient role, and we learn about her intriguing past as she struggles to come to terms with her role as a mother, a wife, and a warrior. Misaki’s old memories began to resurface as her son Mamoru begins to question the stories around him and struggles to master his family’s fighting techniques.
It only took me a couple of days to read The Sword of Kaigen because I just could not put it down. Definitely one of my favorite fantasy books of all time!
The Theonite Series
M. L. Wang (2016, 2017)
Categories: Young Adult Fantasy
TL;DR: If you loved The Sword of Kaigen and you’re looking for a casual read that provides interesting insight into the same world, then check out the first two books of the now-discontinued Theonite series, which centers around Joan, a teenager from Earth with the ability to control a variety of substances.
After reading The Sword of Kaigen and finding out that there were two more books set in the same world, I had to read them as well.
Theonite: Planet Adyn and Theonite: Orbit are the first two books in a now-discontinued young adult fantasy series. If either of those things – young adult novels or unfinished series in limbo – are not up your alley, then these aren’t the books for you.
We follow Joan, a middle-schooler who has been hiding the power to control metals, wind, water, and fire for her entire life, as she encounters Daniel and his father Robin, world-hopping crime hunters from Planet Adyn with the ability to control fire.
I did enjoy reading them and discovering interesting details about the world, but the story wasn’t as fleshed out or mature as The Sword of Kaigen. If you’re not into YA, then I wouldn’t recommend reading these unless you really want to get a deeper dive into the world in The Sword of Kaigen. While I liked reading the Theonite series, the characters and story are only a fraction as compelling as M. L. Wang’s later work in my opinion.
10 Percent Happier
Dan Harris (2014)
Categories: Non-fiction, Self Help, Memoir
TL;DR: In classic self-help fashion, a news anchor goes on a journey of self-discovery by practicing meditation and shares his learnings through this book.
This book is meant an an introduction to meditation for the skeptical observer: Dan Harris describes his journey as a stressed-out reporter who slowly comes to realize the importance of mindfulness and meditation. I listened to this as an audiobook, and quickly realized that the only way I was going to get through it was by setting the audio to 2x speed.
I’m not the biggest fan of self-help books in general. I tend to think that: 1. there is not enough content in most self-help books to merit writing an entire book about it, and 2. their greater effect in the world is to promote an unearned, self-congratulatory celebration that often replaces broader critical thinking about the complicated solutions to problems in the world, even if the author doesn’t intend it (in fact, I think Dan Harris would add the counterpoint that by bringing people into meditation, he is giving them a toolbox that allows for more critical thinking in the world. It’s a valid point, but it doesn’t change my feelings about the self-help genre as a whole).
That being said, I think this book is fine. It’s a very light read, and if you’re in a specific demographic – young tech-adjacent person living in a big city and looking for an introduction to meditation – I think you’ll enjoy it. Otherwise, there aren’t many lasting lessons that I took away from this book.
For the Love of Men
Liz Plank (2019)
Categories: Non-fiction, Psychology, Feminism
TL;DR: Journalist and prolific Tik-Tok creator Liz Plank dives deep into the the concept of masculinity in a well-researched, thought-provoking, intersectional book interspersed with stories of men from around the world.
I listened to this as an audiobook, and I found a lot of truth in the way that Plank describes the traditional rules of masculinity, how they impact men, and how we can address masculinity in a healthy way.
The book is divided into two parts. The first section addresses common addages that often surround masculinity, such as: men don’t need intimacy, manhood is never fully earned and needs to be constantly renewed, and that masculinity is under attack. The second section focuses on expanding our definitions of masculinity, noting that “while we’re comfortable with women existing outside of the bounds of femininity, we’re not comfortable with men existing beyond the bounds of masculinity.”
Plank argues for the gendered expectations holding both men and women back are born out of the same ideology, and that a mindful conversation about gender will have only winners.
Listening to this book got me thinking about the impact that traditional masculinity has had on my own life. Would recommend for anyone interested in thinking critically about masculinity!

 The first was a story by Jodi Cantor and Megan Twohey at the New York Times, and the second was a story by Ronan Farrow at The New Yorker.
Ronan Farrow wrote Catch and Kill about his experience reporting on the story, and Jodi Cantor and Megan Twohey wrote She Said about their own experience. From what I’ve read, She Said focuses more on the stories of women, the grueling process of being a reporter, and the importance of supporting journalists, while Catch and Kill focuses more on the danger of corporate influence on independent journalism.
This was a captivating read that really emphasizes the overwhelming amount of evidence of wrongdoing that surfaced against Harvey Weinstein, and the great lengths that those in power went to in order to conceal that evidence and prevent Farrow from publishing his story. Weinstein and his allies hired private investigators to track Farrow’s movements, threatened women who talked with reporters, and made backhanded deals with large corporations while those around him turned a blind eye to his misconduct.
Truly fascinating, compelling, and horrifying to read.
The Black Swan
Nassim Nicholas Taleb (2007)
Categories: Nonfiction, Economics, Business, Philosophy
TL;DR: This frustratingly dense and enlightening book centers around black swan events – “improbable” events that “experts” cannot predict, but shape the world as we know it.
This book explores our blindness to large, random deviations from the norm, which Taleb coins as “Black Swan” events. Let me just start by saying that it’s not easy to read – there are a lot of complex ideas, stories, metaphors, and references that are structured in a way that’s not obvious upon first reading. Some might also object to his classification of experts who tend to not be actual experts (economists, traders, psychiatrists, college admissions officers, court judges, political scientists).
However, this book creates a very intelligent and compelling framework for understanding uncertainty and the types of reasoning that lead us toward misunderstanding the world’s largest events. I’m not going to attempt to summarize Taleb’s full argument, but the basic structure of the book revolves around understanding the limits and mistakes around black swan events, prediction, and uncertainty.
This is a book that deserves to be read, ruminated on, and re-read. Although this book is challenging in many ways, it convincingly articulates some of my own hesitancy about trusting predictions, contains a lot of smart ideas, and was overall rewarding to read.
The Truth About Keeping Secrets
Savannah Brown (2019)
Categories: Young Adult Fiction, Mystery
TL;DR: A high school girl navigates life after losing her dad in a car crash, struggling to cope with grief, angst, and a nagging sense that her dad’s death was not an accident. This is a well-written book with a satisfying story arc and climax.
After stumbling upon a deliciously existential video from Savannah Brown on YouTube, I decided that I wanted to read more of what she has written. I listened to The Truth About Keeping Secrets as an audiobook, narrated by the author.
This is a young adult novel about about a high school girl named Sydney dealing with the grief and mystery of her father’s unexpected death. Sydney is insecure and angsty, and has a feeling that her dad’s death was not a simple accident.
There are a whole cast of typical high school characters – the Most Popular Girl, the Rich Sporty Jock, the Childhood Friend, the Bully – but these relationships and their struggles felt surprisingly authentic and enjoyable to read. The story is filled with tension that kept me guessing at what was going to happen, and it paid off with a dramatic climax.
The prose was great (it makes sense that Savannah has a background in poetry), and the book was nice to listen to. I liked it!
Eyes to the Wind
Ady Barkan (2019)
Categories: Nonfiction, Memoir
TL;DR: Ady Barkan writes an inspiring story about his life as a lawyer and progressive activist, as well as his diagnosis with ALS and how living with his condition has shaped his activism.
I don’t remember how I first heard about Ady – maybe it was through his viral video confronting then-Senator Jeff Flake on an airplane, or his appearance on a podcast that I listen to, or his activism for Medicare for All – but his story was moving enough for me to read his memoir when it came out in late 2019.
Ady Barkan typed the beginning of his book with his own hands, but finished the book with the help of an assistant due to muscle atrophy from ALS. His determination to keep fighting for the issues he believes in in spite of ALS is inspiring to read.
The content itself was more dense than I was expecting. Ady Barkan spends a significant portion of the book detailing his work as a lawyer and the slow pace at which progressive policies actually move forward. He then talks about the struggle of being diagnosed with ALS, how it reinforced his commitment to the issues that he has cared about for his entire life, and why he continues to fight for those causes.
I Can’t Make This Up
Kevin Hart (2017)
Categories: Nonfiction, Memoir, Comedy
TL;DR: Kevin Hart is a funny dude who has worked very hard to get to where he is, and in this memoir, he shares life lessons and tells stories about his rough upbringing, personal troubles, and career trajectory with an entertaining honesty.
I listened to this as an audiobook, and enjoyed Kevin Hart as a narrator.
He tells stories about his strict mother, his childhood dream of becoming a Nike Rep, the struggle of working his way up the comedy world, along with other stories that shaped his growth. There were funny and inspiring moments as well as difficult and disappointing moments, but they’re held together by Kevin Hart’s positive attitude and ability to shrug off any situation.
Would recommend if you like comedy, or if you just want an laid-back listen about a guy who’s worked hard for his success.
The Girl With All the Gifts
M. R. Carey (2014)
Categories: Science Fiction, Horror, Dystopia
TL;DR: In this gripping novel, Miss Justineau teaches a class of unusual students under draconian restrictions, but develops a special relationship with an intelligent girl named Melanie before both of their worlds are turned upside-down.
The best way to experience this book is to go in blind, so if you’re interested in reading a thrilling dystopian story that is both relationship-driven and action-packed, then this book is for you. Avoid any spoilers!
 However, there are signs that not everything is as it should be from the very beginning: Melanie and her classmates are strapped into wheelchairs, strictly monitored, and kept in isolated cells at night.
Then several big things happen, and we’re thrust into a journey of survival and science. The first act of this book is brilliant, but in my opinion it tapers off into a less satisfactory middle before ending with a bang.
This is an original take on a traditional dystopian story that I enjoyed reading.
Bad Blood
John Carreyrou (2018)
Categories: Nonfiction, Business, Crime
TL;DR: One of the best non-fiction books I’ve read – reporter John Carreyrou documents the rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes and her blood testing company Theranos.
This book is truly and utterly engaging from start to finish.
Chronicling the rise and fall of the Silicon Valley startup Theranos, reporter John Carreyrou takes us on a true journey of almost unbelievable proportions.
We follow along as CEO Elizabeth Holmes drops out of college and grows her company to be worth billions of dollars based on a technology that never worked. Along the way, she is backed by some of the most powerful and wealthy people in the world — including Rupert Murdoch, the Waltons (founders of Walmart), and former Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and George Schultz— and is recognized by Forbes as the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire before falling from grace in 2015.
I listened to this as an audiobook, and was captivated for the entire ride.
Becoming
Michelle Obama (2018)
Categories: Nonfiction, Memoir
TL;DR: In Becoming, Michelle Obama recounts her personal story with the intelligence and grace that we’ve come to love and respect from her.
Of course, you have heard of this book. It’s been on signs at airports, all over social media, and in front of every bookstore for months.
Michelle Obama is a fantastic role model, a dedicated public servant, and a caring mother — and we’re able to see this clearly while following her thought process throughout the book.
From a childhood on the South Side of Chicago, to Stanford University and Harvard Law School, to her professional career and time in the White House, Mrs. Obama tells her story with honesty and openness that bespeaks her character.
I find her story so compelling and inspiring because of the responsibility that she carries as one of the most powerful, well-known and widely-respected black woman in the United States, and the grace she holds while carrying that responsibility. Through all of her experience and success, Michelle Obama still writes with humility in Becoming.


Over 370 tahsildars repatriated to their districts
They had been posted out before Assembly elections
by Special CorrespondentThe State government has finally repatriated 378 tahsildars working in different areas to their respective districts.
Orders were issued on Sunday repatriating 166 tahsildars hailing from Zone V and another 212 from Zone VI to their respective districts. These tahsildars had been transferred by the Election Commission in September/October last year as per norms in view of the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections that were held subsequently.
The transferred officials made several representations seeking their repatriation to the home districts since the election process was completed, but in vain. The Government had finally conceded their request and issued the orders directing all the tahsildars, except those working in the areas under the jurisdiction of newly created Mulug and Narayanpet districts to report to their respective district collectors. The tahsildars working in the areas falling under the new districts had been directed to report to the respective collectors.
The Telangana Revenue Employees Services Association thanked Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and Revenue department Special Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar for conceding their demand and issuing orders accordingly.

18F UI style guide
Layouts
Templates
These are the main page templates that exist on 18f.gsa.gov:
-
Primary template

-
Project page template
The template for a specific project’s page. Learn more or View live example.
-
Blog post template
Template for an individual blog post. Learn more or View live example.
Primary template
Located at _layouts/primary.html
, this is the template that is most frequently used in 18f.gsa.gov. It is responsible for creating content pages like /code-of-conduct/ to guides-style pages such as /join/.
Primary template front matter
The primary template uses Jekyll front matter heavily to account for variations within the site. Below are the the potential front matter attributes that you can use. Some are listed as (optional). These can be used to alter the appearance of a page.
| Attribute | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
title |

permalink |
String | Path that the page renders relative to the site’s baseurl |
layout |
String | Should be set to primary |
lead |
String | (optional) Large white text that renders on the top blue banner |
banner_cta |
Boolean | (optional) Set to false by default. Generates a light blue call to action banner when set to true . |
subnav_items |
Object | (optional) Navigation items object that contains a list of subnavigation items that contain a permalink and text . Renders a sticky subnav on the left side of the page. |
subnav_title |
String | (optional) Set if you want the subnav title or breadcumb text to differ from the page title . |
hero |
Boolean | (optional) Enables a hero image in the banner. Defaults to true , so set to false to hide the image |

String | (optional) Path to hero image. This image will also display on blog post preview cards |
image_alt |
String | (optional) Accessibility text for the image |
image_figcaption |
String | (optional) A caption that will be displayed on top of the image |
breadcrumb |
Boolean | (optional) Set to false by default. Specify true to enable the breadcrumb. If set to true , set subnav_title if the breadcrumb text differs from the page title . View breadcrumb component |
Project page template
Located at _layouts/project-page.html
, this is the template for creating new project pages as well as project cards that show up at /what-we-deliver/.
Add a project page
- Create a new file within the
_projects
directory, named with the following format:[agency acronym]-[project-name].md
. - Copy the project page template to that file.
- Replace all relavent front matter fields. To see if a field is required, see the project page schema.
- If you are adding an image, make sure to check out the wiki. If you are not adding an image, make sure to specify an
image_icon
property in the front matter, and reference an SVG available in the SVG catalog like so:image_icon: gavel.svg
- Populate the sidebar for at a glance information. To do this, update the front matter related to the sidebar. If you don’t want something to show up in the sidebar, remove it from the front matter.
Blog post template
Located at _layouts/post.html
, this is the template for creating new blog posts.
There is extensive documentation for how to publish a blog post on the wiki and an example blog post to assist with adding metadata and frequently used blog components. A deeper dive into those components is available at Blog.
Grid
The layout and grid structure inherits from the U.S. Web Design Standards and makes some slight adjustments. Layout changes are not overrides of the standards, but a handful of CSS classes have been added to compliment the Standards.
| Class name | What it does |
|---|---|
usa-width-tablet |
A class that allows certain content, namely the project cards, and the blog previews to respond at a different breakpoint, $tablet-screen (768px). |
usa-flex |
Wrapper class that sets display: flex , and can be used to create more flexible layouts. |
Classes used with usa-flex |
usa-flex-baseline , usa-flex-end , usa-flex-pull-right , usa-flex-always , usa-flex-wrap , usa-flex-vertically-top , usa-flex-pull-right , and usa-flex-vertically-bottom . |
usa-grid-reversed |
This class can be used to alternate the order that content appears in mobile vs desktop screen widths. |
content-wide |
In the Standards, the primary way to improve readability is via the usa-content class, which limits content to 75 characters. Instead of relying on this mechanism, the site wraps site content with the content-focus class, limiting the entire grid to roughly 100 characters. |
content-focus |
When the the grid needs to be wider, content-wide is used and the content width is controlled by using partial grid layouts. |
Sidebar
This attribute is found in the contact and project pages on the 18F site. This feature provides at-a-glance information.
