Personal note:
Hello, my darlings! I am incredibly pleased to present BUFFERING: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded!
As a big fan of memoirs, I wanted to try my hand at writing about the events of my life that deserve a little more consideration than can be accomplished in 140-characters or a 6-minute vlog. Now on the cusp of turning 30, I'm ready to expose some parts of my life that I haven't shared before. Before, it was all about privacy, process and time. And now the time has come! Im ready to put myself out there, for you.
I'm a little nervous about all these vulnerable words going into the world, these tales about my love life, the wrestling Ive done with faith, how I feel about sex and my family and myself. Ive had a lot of trials, a lot of errors, but also a lot of passion. Heres the thing--I've always found comfort in the stories shared by others, so I hope my stories, now that I feel ready to tell them, will bring you some comfort too.
And when you read this book please remember: Buffering is just the time it takes to process.
Enjoy!
Love,
Hannah
2. Production Systems Engineering
Description
Production Systems Engineering (PSE) is an emerging branch of Engineering intended to uncover fundamental principles of production systems and utilize them for analysis, continuous improvement, and design. This volume is the first ever textbook devoted exclusively to PSE. It is intended for senior undergraduate and first year graduate students interested in manufacturing. The development is first principle-based rather than recipe-based. The only prerequisite is elementary Probability Theory; however, all necessary probability facts are reviewed in an introductory chapter. Using a system-theoretic approach, this textbook provides analytical solutions for the following problems: mathematical modeling of production systems, performance analysis, constrained improvability, bottleneck identification and elimination, lean buffer design, product quality, customer demand satisfaction, transient behavior, and system-theoretic properties. Numerous case studies are presented. In addition, the so-called PSE Toolbox, which implements the algorithms developed, is described. The volume includes numerous case studies and problems for homework assignment.

9. Buffering Love - Stories from the App Store
Description
The World Wide Web is a gratifying nexus of social courtesies. But does it make relationships easier to build or destroy? Do we relish theanonymity of social media more than its congeniality? And do we feel less accomplished if a day goes by without a comment here or a swipe there? These are some of the questions that the fifteen short stories in Buffering Love explore. The central theme of each revolves around how technology, for better or worse, has splayed into every sinew of our relationships. Each of the stories is named after an app, or a specific technology, that has a role to play in impacting the lives of the protagonists. Set in urban India, the stories take an earnest look at the protagonists who come to terms with physical and emotional displacement in their lives by exploiting technology sometimes as an enabler, and sometimes as a crutch.10.
