If you're raising vegan children, my guess is you've decided to do so based on a mix of personal ethical beliefs, after reading about the hazards of a standard meat and dairy-based diet, simply because your child has allergies to meat and dairy products, or some mix of all of the above.
Children are naturally loving of animals and many people have to coax their children into eating meat, fish, and milk products. With their naturally inquisitive minds, you will probably find that they are really open to learning about why you eat the way you do and will enjoy telling their friends about it as well. Of course, if you've come to the decision to go vegan after you've already had kids, you might have to do more work with the explanations.
While so many people are unfamiliar with the vegan diet, it's actually not difficult to raise vegan kids.
When raising vegan children, one of the biggest obstacles you'll have to overcome will be with the scrutiny people will impart on you for your decision. Though you likely think it's radical to eat the flesh and byproducts of another species, they are used to eating that way, and to them it's radical to avoid animal products. It's a good idea to keep their perspective in mind all the time.
And, never forget that people are very sensitive about food decisions and about their personal methods of parenting. When you combine those two into raising vegan children and vegan parenting, you could create an explosive atmosphere. In most situations, I think it's best to keep discussions with non-vegan parents neutral and as far away from the food topic as possible. If you make very little fuss, they are much more likely to be accepting and go out of their way to make you (and more importantly, your children) feel comfortable in social situations.
Remember what it was like before you learned what you know about plant-based diets.
Be compassionate, especially to those who think differently than you and might judge you.
Educate yourself. You have to be armed with information so that anyone who questions you gets a compassionate, educated answer from you right away. If you don't have a really good example of how your children get plenty of calcium, people will question your ability to take care of your children. That sounds harsh, but it's true. If you can say that you understand why it seems so impossible for a child to get plenty of calcium without cow's milk, but actually your children eat tons of beans and leafy greens that are packed with calcium, you not only defend yourself, but you can help to educate them.It's especially important to be educated when you are visiting your children's pediatrician. If you have a good relationship with your child's doctor and s/he is open to a vegetarian lifestyle, this might not be as important. Undoubtedly your child's numbers are going to speak for themselves since vegan children tend to be so healthy. But it never hurts to be able to provide explanations of the foods you eat and what sources of the main (normally questioned) nutrients they eat, such as calcium and protein.
Make life as easy as possible for your children. Some children will be able to handle any possible scrutiny the other kids might throw their way, but others would be less likely to know what to say. In those circumstances, you might consider getting a copy of the lunch menu so you know what the other kids are going to be eating that day. You can then send food that looks the same with your child to school.If your children go to daycare, you can talk to the leaders and ask what types of foods they'll be serving and arrange for vegan food for your child. Sometimes you can supply individual soymilk cartons if they are going to be handing out milk to the other kids.Jennifer McMann has some amazing cookbooks for packing vegan lunches that are so gorgeous and fun. I would definitely check out Vegan Lunch Box for incredible recipes, meal plans, and general tips on feeding your school-age children.When it comes to holidays and special occasions, there are many tactics for ensuring your children feel the excitement of the party without feeling left out or different than the others. Some parents like to offer to bring the desserts, or at least one cupcake/slice of cake for their child. And, there are a plethora of vegan burgers and hotdogs on the market now, so barbecues and picnics should never be a problem.
Arm your children with the knowledge that you love them and are feeding them vegan food because you want the best for them. When they truly understand that concept, they will be on board.Most of all, enjoy raising vegan children who will hopefully grow up to choose the same compassionate, kind, and loving path in life.
Questions about Raising Vegan Children?
I once read there are a million ways to do raising children right and just a few, obvious, ways to do it wrong. Even though we all know that, it's hard not to worry about how we raise our children. Add in wanting to raise compassionate children who don't eat animals and it can multiple those concerns. You can ask questions here about anything related to raising vegan children and we'll get answers from experienced parents for you.
I recommend providing as much information as you can so we can give the most complete answer possible. Try to elaborate on your situation as much as possible, aiming for 300 words.

article drinks love food Q&A seltzer

interviewed by
Lucky for you, Brian is a frequent recipe developer here at Art and Cook and his creations are nothing short of genius. Check out his latest cocktail below and follow us on Instagram to keep up with newness!
The Brass Taxi
Art and Cook Talks Fizz with Brian Evans, Partner and Director of Bars at Sunday Hospitality. Debunking myths and whatnot...for all you sparkly, seltzer lovers.
Q: What's your favorite soda or seltzer for cocktails?
A: Let me give you a complicated answer: It depends! I have different favorites for different drinks. For highball-style cocktails, I let the spirit or fortified wines do the talking, so I go for a seltzer like Schweppes, which is extremely fizzy and not intrusive flavor-wise. If it's a gin and tonic, Fever Tree's Mediterranean Tonic has this magnificently floral note that adds an element of intrigue. And if I'm just enjoying fizzy water on its own, I tend to go for something mineral-driven, like Topo Chico, which also has this volcanic-like carbonation.
Q: What's the difference between club soda, seltzer, and tonic water? Does it really matter which one you reach for when making a cocktail? Why?
A: Club soda and seltzer are very similar. Both are infused with carbon dioxide, but club soda also has added minerals, which give it a saltier taste. It's subtle. Seltzers and club sodas pair with just about any spirit. A touch of sparkling water can lift particularly favorable flavor notes in spirits like whiskey and shochu, a Japanese distilled liquor.
Tonic water is also carbonated and sold by many seltzer brands, but it's completely different. It's sweetened, for one thing, and it contains quinine. Some brands are infused with other bitter barks, roots, and botanicals as well. Originally, tonic water was a medicine used to combat malaria. Now, it's a beautiful partner for botanical spirits, primarily gin. Hence, the classic gin and tonic.
Q: What's the difference between seltzer and mineral water?
A: Sparkling mineral waters are the sophisticated cousins of seltzers. They're laced with high amounts of naturally-occurring minerals and natural carbonation, which is then topped off with extra CO2. Seltzer is more or less regular water that's been carbonated in the factory. They don't have minerals but sometimes flavors are added.
Q: Is mineral water a good choice for cocktails?
A: It really depends on the cocktail. I find that the saltier minerality of Topo Chico, for example, lends itself beautifully to Palomas and other highball cocktails, where the natural salts of the water balances the sugar content of the cocktail. For simple spirit and soda concoctions—scotch and soda, vodka and soda, and the like—I prefer to let the spirit shine while the bubbles of unflavored seltzer lift the spirit's nuances.
Q: Why is everyone so obsessed with Topo Chico?
A: For anyone who's ever spent a considerable amount of time in parts of Texas and Mexico, Topo Chico is just a way of life. It's what you reach for to beat the intense, summer heat. It found its way into tequila cocktails like Ranch Water, which is tequila, Topo Chico, lime. This has increased its popularity. That's my take on the Topo Chico craze.
Q: Do you choose the type of soda depending on the liquor it's mixed with?
A: Generally speaking, for highballs, I keep it simple. I use Schweppes for its neutral flavor and violent carbonation. One exception I've been turning toward lately is pairing Japanese gin (like Suntory Roku) with Fever Tree's newer Yuzu-Lime soda. It's unbelievably refreshing, with just the right amount of florality and tartness, and very little sugar content.
Q: Would you call yourself a sparking water snob? Why?
A: I'm not snobby about the bubbly water. As a bar industry professional, I'm lucky to have access to so many brands and styles of sodas, seltzers, and such. But, personally, I sometimes don't want to think too hard about what I'm drinking. I just want to reach for whatever's nice and cold at the local bodega. I'll drink anything as long as it's extremely bubbly and extremely cold.
Q: What's your take on seltzer machines for the home?
A: I have one at home: a SodaStream. I enjoy it. It's nice when I want to drink cold, sparkling water. But the water's not as fizzy as I like it to be for cocktails. So, even at home, I use Schweppes for my highballs. At work, of course, I have a fully-loaded carbonation rig. And, in reality, you could replicate a smaller version of this at home for less than $100 (highly recommended!). But that's probably something we should do another article about.
Q: Glass vs. plastic bottles: the experience is much different drinking bubbly from a glass bottle versus a plastic one. Do you know why this is?
A: Aside from the potential of plastic to impart off-flavors, glass simply keeps drinks cooler for longer, which maintains the effervescence of bubbly drinks. The colder the product, the sharper the bubbles—simple as that.
Q: The more bubbles the better?
A: To an extent, yes. More specifically, you want finer, smaller bubbles, as many as possible, for that ultimate sensory experience.
Q: What's your favorite "& soda" cocktail? Why?
A: I typically enjoy Westward American single malt whiskey over ice and topped with Schweppes seltzer and a twist of lemon. I go for a ratio of 1½ ounces whiskey to about 5 ounces seltzer. When at a Japanese restaurant or bar, I go for a lovely sweet potato shochu such as Asahi Mannen Kuro-Koji shochu with soda water and a squeeze of grapefruit juice. Two parts shochu to three parts bubbly water. Shochu, by the way, is a distilled liquor, about 50 to 70 proof.
Q: Do you feel like every "& soda" cocktail needs a lemon or lime? Why or why not?
A: I would say 99 percent of the time, any spirit and soda concoction could benefit from a twist of lemon peel. Scotch-style whiskeys, especially, need the floral note of citrus to down the robust malted flavors. Gins and tequilas love bright citrus flavors and benefit tremendously from a squeeze of two lime wedges.
Q: What else would you add to an "& soda" cocktail to elevate it?
A: You could take a cue from Spanish gin and tonics, adding fresh herbs or spices to your cocktail. The alcohol coaxes flavor out the garnishes, so the taste of your cocktail evolves as you sip it. Shiso leaves are one of my favorite aromatics to add to spirits. Rosemary sprigs are great too.
Q: What's the deal with club soda and bitters? Does it really settle the stomach? Why?
A: Aromatic bitters are usually made with high-proof alcohol, herbs, bitter barks, spices, and some sugar. These concoctions can naturally ease feelings of stomach nausea and along with bubbly water can be very soothing. A splash of bitters in club soda makes for an aromatic but not sweet drink, think of it as a lighter and more nuanced alternative to basic tonic water.

What is the main purpose of the United States Constitution?
The Constitution is the supreme legal document of the United States. The document establishes the structures of the federal government and is the foundation for all laws and legal decisions in the country.
What is the introductory sentence of the Constitution called?
What do the first three articles of the Constitution accomplish?
The bulk of the United States Constitution is contained within the three articles that follow the Preamble. These articles lay out the purpose, responsibilities, and structure for the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the government.
How did the framers of the Constitution aim to ensure a separation of powers between the three branches of government?
They established a system of checks and balances such that each branch's power was limited by the other two.
They ensured considerable overlap between the different branches' roles and responsibilities such that negotiation and collaboration between the three branches over key decisions would be necessary.
They attributed the same powers to multiple branches of government to ensure a slow decision-making process.
The system of checks and balances ensures that no single branch of government can become too powerful. The Founders hoped that each branch would resist attempts by the other two to increase their authority.
What does Article I of the U.S. Constitution accomplish?
Article I not only establishes bicameral legislature in the United States, but also defines the process for creating laws, and choosing Congressional delegates. It is the instruction manual for how the legislative branch is to operate.
What does Article II of the U.S. Constitution accomplish?
Article II describes the functions of the executive branch. It not only details how the President and Vice President are chosen and removed from office, but also explicitly grants such powers to the executive branch as making foreign treaties and commanding the American Armed Forces.
What does Article III of the U.S. Constitution accomplish?
Article III describes the role of the judicial branch of government and its authority to interpret the law. It establishes the Supreme Court and its jurisdiction.
Which Article outlines the process for amending the Constitution?
Article V establishes that any changes to the Constitution require both congressional and state approval.
Which Article outlines the relationship between the federal and state governments?
Article IV describes how the federal government will deal with such state issues as admitting new states into the Union, legal jurisdiction within state borders, and protection from invasion and insurrection.
What does the Supremacy Clause in Article VI of the U.S. Constitution accomplish?
The "supremacy clause" states that the Constitution, "shall be the supreme Law of the Land." When there are conflicts between federal and state law, the federal law overrides the state law. Even state constitutions are subordinate to federal law.
What are the conditions for ratification of the Constitution set out in Article VII?
The Founders set a high bar for ratification, but they stopped short of requiring unanimous approval and settled on a two-thirds majority (after the difficulties presented in getting the Articles of Confederation ratified). Once the first 9 states ratified the Constitution it went if effect only in those states. The remaining 4 states all ratified it within the following 2 years.
What conditions must be met in order to amend the Constitution?
Article V states that a constitutional amendment can be proposed by either a two-thirds vote from both Houses of Congress or by a convention of states. However, it must be ratified by three-fourths of the states in order to become a part of the Constitution. This difficult process was implemented to ensure that any changes to the Constitution had broad support from the states and the people.
How can an amendment to the Constitution be formally proposed?
A state legislature can propose an amendment and submit it for a ratification vote.
An amendment can be proposed by a convention of states called for by two-thirds of the state legislatures.
The Supreme Court can propose amendments when issuing unanimous opinions.
According to Article V, Amendments can be proposed with a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress, or by a convention of states. Over the years there have been several concerted efforts to summon an Article V Convention, but they fell just short of the two-thirds threshold. All of the amendments passed to date were the result of Congressional proposals.
Located in Article I of the Constitution, this is known as the Necessary and Proper Clause or the "Elastic Clause." The inclusion of this clause became a source of criticism for those who opposed the ratification of the Constitution, and Anti-Federalists were concerned that the clause would grant the federal government unlimited power. It has, in fact, been used over the years to expand the scope of the federal government (along with the Commerce Clause).
How does the Constitution ensure popular sovereignty?
Popular sovereignty is the idea that the government gets its power from its citizens. Voting gives the American people the ability to elect representatives to serve and promote their views. Should an official fail their constituents, reelection is unlikely.
How does the rule of law outlined in the Constitution ensure a limited government?
To protect the American people from unfair treatment and tyranny, everyone, even the President, is subject to the rule of law established by the Constitution.
What are enumerated powers and reserved powers in the Constitution?
Enumerated powers are the explicitly stated powers of the federal government, whereas reserved powers are those given to the states.
Enumerated powers are the explicitly stated powers of the state governments, whereas reserved powers are those given to the federal government.
Enumerated powers clearly define the lawful actions of citizens, whereas reserved powers define the lawful actions of government on behalf of its citizens.
Enumerated powers must be approved by state legislatures, whereas reserved powers must be approved by a two-thirds majority of Congress.
One of the major debates in drafting the Constitution was where to draw the line between federal and state government powers. As a result, the enumerated powers define the powers given to federal lawmakers, whereas reserved powers are explicitly given to each of the states to decide for themselves.
Concurrent powers are those that exist at both the state and federal level. The federal government alone has the power to declare war, whereas the states alone have the right to establish public schools. Taxation can be (and is) carried out by both state and federal governments.


Dr Tim Minshall talked about an alarming trend in the UK: the lack of awareness of the absolutely critical role that engineers play in our current and future worlds. Of particular concern is the impact this has on young people wanting to become engineers. After all, engineers don't just fix things; they make things better. Engineers make the future.
Tim gives regular talks at local schools and at the Cambridge Science Festival to enthuse primary school age children about the creative and innovative aspects of what engineers do.
Talking about the TEDx talk Tim said: "Someone involved in organising TEDxGranta had heard about my talks and asked if I wanted to talk about children's perceptions of engineering at the 2012 TEDxGranta event. As a longterm fan of TED talks, I thought this sounded like an interesting opportunity; to try and boil down everything I wanted to say to 18 minutes in a 'video friendly' on-stage format that would engage a very diverse audience.
"Before one of my regular visits to a local school, I asked one of the teachers to administer the 'Draw an Engineer Test' (DAET). DAET was developed by researchers in the US to assess perceptions of engineers, and to measure changes in perceptions following the delivery of outreach activities. It is very simple: children are given some paper and pencils and told: "Please draw a picture of an engineer doing engineering work". The results from the Cambridge school were very interesting. Almost all of them showed men and spanners and hammers, fixing broken-down cars and trains. Nothing about developing new products, nothing high-tech, no bridges being built; just men with spanners and hammers fixing broken things. While fixing things is very important, this did seem to be a rather limited few of what engineers do. So, the TEDx talk started off with these results and then presented 10 words that I felt better illustrated the range of engineering activities. Each word was introduced with some case studies (using PowerPoint slides and/or physical artefacts). The 10 words were: Invent, Do, Improve, Share, Shape, Build, Why? Yes! Oops! and Wow! The talk ended with a request for anyone interested in helping to push forward a more positive view of engineering to contact me."
Tim's TEDx talk is on YouTube and the responses he has received from those who have seen this talk on-line, or who were in the audience, have been numerous and interesting. Former students got in touch to say "Yes! Why don't more people realise this!". Since delivering this talk he has received many invitations to do similar ones (and a more interactive in-class version) in schools, libraries and even at the Hay Festival. The BBC got in touch to request input to a new series they are making on engineering for primary school children. Tim was encouraged to develop a website for children, parents and teachers that tries to help these groups access the diverse range of in-class, after-school and self-study resources provided by EngineeringUK, James Dyson Foundation, Primary Engineer, F1 in Schools and many more. Tim and his team are also planning to make a radio programme on this topic, thanks to a suggestion from one viewer of the TEDx talk. Tim is planning to develop some training activities to help undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in getting involved in similar outreach activities.

Q: How to get odd/even value from array and display in table using Javascript I have dataArr = ["1","Maths","2","Science"]; I need to display the values 1,2(S.No) in the first column and the (Subject name) Maths,Science in the second column of a dynamic table.
Any way to do this using jquery/javascript?
Sample table code:
 $("#subjectTable").append("

"+OddpositionVal+"	"+EvenpositionVal+"

");

A: var dataArr = ["1","Maths","2","Science"];
for (var i=0;i<dataArr.length;i++){
if(i%2==0){
//even index
 console.log("sno="+dataArr[i]);
}
else{
//odd index
  console.log("subject="+dataArr[i]);
}
}

UPDATE:-
DEMO

A: var dataArr = ["1","Maths","2","Science"];

Add a bare bones table to a div.
$("#subjectTable").append('

');

For each table row loop over the array in steps of 2 (i+=2). oddPositionVal is the first element in the step, evenPositionVal is the second element.
Build the row HTML and then append it to the table.
for (var i = 0, l = dataArr.length; i < l; i+=2) {
  var oddPositionVal = dataArr[i];
  var evenPositionVal = dataArr[i + 1];
  var rowhtml = '
' + oddPositionVal + '	' + evenPositionVal + '
';
  $('#table').append(rowhtml);
}

DEMO

A: Try this :-
$.each(dataArr,function(index,value){
  if(parseInt(index) % 2 == 0)
  {
     alert(value);
  }
  else
  {
     alert(value);
  }
});

A: var dataArr = ["1","Maths","2","Science"];

var $table = $("
");
var $row = $("
");
$.each(dataArr, function (index, value) {
  $row.append("" + value + "	");
  if (index % 2) {
    $table.append($row);
    $row = $("
");
  }
});

$table.appendTo("#subjectTable");

A: Here is what you want:
var dataArr = ["1","Maths","2","Science"],
    $table = $("

").appendTo("#subjectTable");

var $tr = null;
$.each(dataArr, function(index) {
    if(index % 2 == 0) {
        $tr = $("
").appendTo($table);
    }
    $tr.append("" + this + "	");
});

And here is the working example

explains, for the 30 oldest federal grant awards, why each has not been closed out.
If an agency head is unable to submit all of such information, the report shall include an explanation of why the information was not available, including any shortcomings with and plans to improve existing grant systems, including data systems.
Each agency, within one year after submitting such report, shall provide notice to HHS specifying: (1) whether it has closed out all of the federal grant awards in the report, and (2) which awards have not been closed out. HHS, within 90 days after all of such notices have been provided or by March 31 of the calendar year following the first calendar year beginning after this Act's enactment, whichever is sooner, shall compile, and report to Congress on, such notices.
The Inspector General of an agency with more than $500 million in annual grant funding, within one year after such agency has provided the notice to Congress, shall conduct a risk assessment to determine if an audit or review of the agency's grant closeout process is warranted.
The OMB, within six months after the second such report on notices is submitted, shall report to Congress on recommendations for legislation to improve accountability and oversight in grants management, including the timely closeout of a federal grant award.
The bill defines "federal grant award" as a grant, including a cooperative agreement, in an agency cash payment management system held by the U.S. government for which: (1) the grant award period of performance has been expired for more than two years, and (2) closeout has not yet occurred.


I have been on a taco kick lately--it is such an easy meal to put together, and you can put so many fresh and healthy toppings on them. So imagine my excitement when the May issue of Food and Wine arrived with an entire feature dedicated to tacos! My summer menu has just been set. This version features a tasty lime marinated chicken that Lucas raved over. I served with a quinoa salad (been on a quinoa kick lately, too...) that was also featured in Food and Wine. Looks like I'll get my moneys worth from renewing that subscription!
NOTE: this recipe requires marinating time!! Plan ahead!!
toppings: shredded cheese, sliced avocado, chopped tomato, chopped cilantro, diced onions, salsa, corn, lime wedges, etc.
1. Puree the tomatoes, lime juice, water, and salt in a food processor or blender. Pour mixture into a gallon size re-sealable bag and add the chicken. Seal the bag, pressing out the air, and place in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight.
2. Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry. Brush both sides with the olive oil and sprinkle with the paprika and parsley. Grill over moderately high heat until chicken is lightly charred and cooked through (can use an outdoor grill or a grill pan indoors).
3. Let chicken stand for 5 minutes, then cut the meat into strips or shred.
4. Warm the tortillas in a small skillet, then serve with the meat and toppings.
1. Prepare quinoa according to package directions (I used a rice cooker). Allow it to cool, or place it in the refrigerator while your prepare the rest.
2. In a small skillet, toast the cumin seeds over high heat, shaking the pan, until fragrant (about 2 minutes). Transfer to a blender. Add the lime juice and oil and blend. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Pour the dressing into a bowl and add the beans, bell pepper, cilantro, and onions. Add the quinoa and mix. Season with salt and pepper.
This looks great. I'm going to have to give it a try soon.
Thanks for sharing and I love the pic!
Yum! I'll be trying that!

Dear Dumb Diary is a series of children's novels by Jim Benton. Each book is written in the first person view of a middle school girl named Jamie Kelly. The series is published by Scholastic in English and Random House in Korean. Film rights to the series have been optioned by the Gotham Group.

The series follows the adventures of Jamie Kelly at Mackerel Middle School.

Reception
Critical reception for the series has been mixed, with Publishers Weekly writing that the lead character "makes the occasional funny observation, more often her stabs at humor miss their mark or are so protracted that the comic moment fizzles". A reviewer for the Indian Express compared My Pants are Haunted! to the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, saying that fans of Wimpy Kid would like the series.

\section{Quantum phases of Hamiltonian (1) for density $\rho=1/6$}

The phases  of Eq.~(1){} described in the main text for
$\rho=5/36$ are representative of densities in the range $1/9<\rho<1/6$, where
the clusters of type I, II and III in~Fig.~1{} dominate the
dynamics for a large ratio $V/t$. Here, we investigate the case $\rho = 1/6$,
corresponding to the smallest density increase for which the classical tiling
problem has a different structure, as only the clusters of type II and III
occur for large $V/t$.  Calculations are performed for system sizes up to
$N=96\times96$ and temperatures as low as $T/t=1/20$.\\

The main results are presented in \cref{fig:orderpars}, where, following the
definitions found in \paper{}, the structure factor $S(\mathbf{k})$
[panel (a)], the superfluid fraction $\rho_s/\rho$ [panel (b) left ordinate
axis], and the ratio between the superfluid responses $\rho_x/\rho_y$ [panel
(b) right ordinate axis] are plotted as a function of $V/t$, for $T/t=1/20$ and
$N=96\times96$.

For large enough interaction strengths $V/t > 3.9$, we find a stripe crystal
(SC) with no superfluidity, similar to the case treated in the main text.
However, the peaks in $S(\mathbf{k})$ occur here for $\mathbf{k} = (0,\pm k_s)$ and $\mathbf{k} =
(k_{sc}, 0)$, with $k_s = 2\pi/3$ and  $k_{sc} = 2\pi/4$, respectively. The
crystalline order appearing on the $x$-axis is thus slightly different from
that of the SC phase in \paper{} ($k_{sc} \neq k_c = 2\pi\times 7/24$).

        (c)]. The size of the dots is proportional to the occupation number of
        the corresponding lattice site. The data is taken from calculations
        at $T/t = 1/20$, $\rho=1/6$, and $N=96\times96$.
    }
\end{figure}

Similarly to the main text, by decreasing the interaction strengths we first
find an anisotropic stripe supersolid (SS) and then an isotropic supersolid
(IS) phase.  The latter phases occur for interaction strengths  $3.0 \lesssim
V/t \lesssim 3.9$ and $V/t \lesssim 3$, respectively.  The peaks in the
structure factor within the IS phase are at $\mathbf{k} = (\pm k_c, 0)$ and $\mathbf{k} = (0,
\pm k_c)$, identical to the case $\rho=5/36$ discussed in the main text. \\

Further insight can be obtained from the density maps in \cref{fig:phases}. In
particular, panel (c) shows that for large $V/t$ in the classical regime the
ground state corresponds to a perfect crystalline tiling of the surface with
just one single kind of clusters (i.e., cluster II in the $x-$direction in the
figure). This results in a SC that is qualitatively similar to the one of
\paper{}, albeit with a slightly different periodicity in the $x$-direction, as
discussed above.  By decreasing $V/t$, a melting of this crystalline phase
gives way to the SS and then IS phases.\\

In conclusion, we find that the main results discussed in \paper{}, namely the
appearance of an anisotropic (stripe) supersolid and a transition between two
different supersolids (IS and SS), are robust against different choices of
density in the range $1/9<\rho\leq 1/6$, as long as the strong-coupling
low-energy physics is dominated by clusters of the type II and III
in~Fig.~1{}, as expected. Further increasing densities with
$\rho >1/6$ introduces different kinds of clusters in the classical ground
state that alter both the strong-coupling stripe crystalline structure, and
the ensuing supersolid phases for intermediate values of $V/t$. The
corresponding quantum phases have then to be investigated on a case-by-case
basis, for each density.

\section{Effects of the interaction range and shape on the crystal phases of Eq.~(1)}

    \caption{\label{fig:rc3}%
        Panel (a): Interaction volume corresponding to the model
        Eq.~(1){} with the cutoff radius of the interaction
        being $r_c=3.0$.  Panel (b): Side-density map of a system with
        $N=28\times28$ showing a possible anisotropic crystalline structure
        forming for the choice $r_c = 3.0$.  The size of the dots is
        proportional to the occupation number of the corresponding lattice
        site. The data is taken from calculations at $T/t = 1/20$ and $V/t =
        6.0$ at the fixed density $\rho = 1/7$.
    }
\end{figure}

Varying the interaction range $r_c$ in Eq.~(1){} can change
the number and shape of relevant clusters in the large $V/t$ limit. As a
consequence, the many-body ground state can change from the predictions of
\paper{}. As an example, \cref{fig:rc3}(b) shows a site-density map of a normal
(not superfluid) crystalline phase appearing at $V/t = 6$ for a choice of
interaction range $r_c = 3.0$ and density $\rho = 1/7$. The stripe crystal
structure is now found to point in a diagonal direction. Further increasing
$r_c$ to large values $r_c/a\gg 1$ progressively reduces the stripe
anisotropy, in favor of a triangular cluster crystal, similar to the
continuous case~\cite{Cinti2010}.\\

    \includegraphics{resub_letter_figure2.pdf}
    \caption{\label{fig:maps}%
        Panels (a)-(c): site-density maps of a \(48\times48\) system for
        different values of \(\alpha\). The size of each dot is propotional to
        the average occupation of the corresponding site.  Calculation are
        performed at \(T/t = 1/20\), $\rho=5/36$, and \(V/t = 10, 10, 12\)
        respectively. Panels (d)-(f): Heatmap plot for the structure factor
        \(S(\mathbf{k})\) for the same calculations as panels (a)-(c). The
        intensity-color scale is shown in panel (g).
    }
\end{figure}

Similar effects can be obtained by considering a smoother potential, instead
of the stepwise potential of Eq.~(1){}. As an example,
Fig.~\ref{fig:maps} shows results for a potential of the type
$V/[1+(r/r_c)^\alpha]$, for different values of $\alpha$ and $V/t\gg1$.  For
$\alpha \rightarrow \infty$ the shape of this interaction  approximates well
the one in Eq.~(1){}. We find that for $\alpha \gtrsim 10$
stripe order is favoured along the $x$-direction ($y$-direction) for $V/t\gg
1$, similar to the discussion for Eq.~(1){}. For
$\alpha\lesssim 10$, however, the stripes progressively give way to a more
isotropic, triangular crystalline structure.  In particular, for $\alpha=6$
(relevant for Rydberg dressed atoms) the density map [panel (c)] and structure
factor [panel (f)] indicate a triangular crystal structure that is essentially
isotropic in the $x$ and $y$ directions.  This can be qualitatively explained
by considering that lower values of $\alpha$ effectively include more sites to
the edges of the interaction volume for each particle, different from the case
of \paper{}.
\footnote{%
    We note that for the case of smooth potentials as in Rydberg-dressed gases
    anisotropy can be re-introduced in the interactions  by considering
    anisotropic Rydberg states (e.g., excited Rydberg $p$-type states instead
    of $s$ states, as in~\cite{Zeiher2016, Glaetzle2015, vanBijnen2015}).
}\\

We find that strong metastable effects are often obtained in the numerical
simulations for the situations discussed above in the intermediate regime of
interactions $V/t\gtrsim 1$. The phase diagram has to be investigated on a
case-by-case basis.

Do you want a CSR or C-Level Support?
Fun and slick sales associate catches you on the right day by complete luck or persistence.
Sales professional brings "the team" in and they wow you with their product, implementation and on-going account management team.
Sales person disappears and the Gantt charts come flying out of some project software run by your project manager.
Bumps happen, get worked out, and your team lowers the mob mentality threat level from "kill" to "acceptance".
Customer Service Representative arrives with three cell phones and the relationship kicks into sedentary mode. You may as well watch some HGTV on the couch together in the evenings and get it over with.
Time goes by, people come and go on your team, and then one day the new team says they need a new vendor. Go back to step one.
What is missing from this process, and more importantly, how does it impact your customers and their perception of your service?
Welcome to the best of both worlds, my collaborative cohorts! Our model provides access to the C-Level owners of the business, who have also been in your business for years, not just a CSR.

At last, after a break of nearly two months, Kahvi returns with a new delectable release! Hopefully your summer has been laced with high quality idm, mellow atmospheres and interesting beats.
To ease you back into the normal 9-5 (or perhaps send a shock through the system), we've got an exciting and invigorating nine track ep from Tom Bragl. After his first, well received release on Kahvi (#245, What tone am I?) he decided to take up the open invitation to release another fine selection of works.
Diverse in its range, 'Zerochoice' could be seen as heading towards the mainstream with its fast beats and high power 'feel good' factor but all the elements that you're used to from previous Kahvi releases are there - ranging from the truly awe inspiring 'seterror' (check out the c64 tribute) to the emotional 'my last tea'.
Track of choice: the truly epic 'Zerochoice'. Welcome back to Kahvi, Tom Bragl!
This still remains my favorite Kahvi release and one of the best albums I have on my computer.
This is real music, people dont know what is good, they earing and dont annalyse the complexitie of music. And I say the same thing like Kenny Beltrey.
Good Job realy great album!
i'm truly speechless. electronic music simply can't be more delightful than this.
this is uplifting, this is stomping, this is soul touching.
the best ambient material i've heard in years. even now, this EP belongs to my all-time favourites.
tom bragl, one of the most exceptional talents of our decade.
You don't getting bored with tom bragl music.
The range of styles is wide and every track hits the nail on the head.
You can enjoy everywhere solid bassline, solid beats and interesting sounds, but my fav tracks are anyway 'prgn' and 'zerochoice'.
The first one is very hypnotic, the second one puts together elektro sounds and acoustic guitar.
Thanks mr Bragl for this great work!


Western Neoliberals have a problem. Libya has dispatched with its tyrant and its new government doesn't want to play ball. The Libyans are being defiant, they don't want foreign loans and they have the means to make their nation a success.
There are two huge domestic problems that face Libya: one, it has startling inequality with pre-war employment of 30% in a unvaried economy, history suggests it will need central planning from a social government with a domestic plan to solve such problems; and two, the country's infrastructure will require significant investment following the civil war.  Oil exportation will be required to raise the revenues to build such infrastructure, but the problem is that the oil industry will also require post-war investment.
Of course 'legitimate government' to the US and its allies means a government that opens up its markets to foreign investment – in other words to multinationals – eliminates tariffs and enters into a cycle of bargain-bonanza cheap state sell-offs in oligarch wallet-swelling cycles of privatisation. Therein lies Libya's dilemma, the foreign firms want in and the assets are frozen by their respective governments.
One can only presume that the other Arab Spring nations will have a 'smoother transition' because they don't have oil reserves, and will just have to take foreign loans with conditions attached and then be dictated to by the West. It is likely that the 'transition' referred to above means the kind of "shock therapy" economics of privatisation and austerity unleashed with such devastating results on the Southern Cone in the 1970s and 1980s and on the European Eastern Block and Russia in the 1990s.
What constitutes a 'vibrant economy and democracy' in the eyes of the West is likely to mean 'laissez faire' economics combined with a heavily subdued political democracy; such as in Western Europe and the US, where we vote for a personality who will have little control over the economics of the country – if elected – in a largely futile and meaningless process known as a general election.
 Examples of neoliberalism involvement in the aftermath of disaster/confusion, for example: Hurricane Katrina, the 2005 Tsunami, Chile's 1973 Coup and Poland's 1990 failed succession from communism to social democracy.
 The immense legal constructs that enable "laissez faire' dogma was examined in depth in the aftermath of the last Great crash by, amongst others, John Hale.
 The inequality of neoliberal nations can be seen in both Injustice by Dorling (2009) and The Spirit Level, by Wilkinson and Pickett (2010).

It is clear to me that 9/11 was just what some capitalists wanted. It justified increasing spending on the military, and made nations that have oil a legitimate target when couched as 'global security risks'.
Like you have highlighted, reconstruction comes with conditions, that allows external groups to grab a stake in the black stuff.
Think 'peak oil'. Not far from now oil will start to run out. The value will increase, and it is not unrealistic to imagine wars over it.
This is why I can see what happened in Iraq might happen to Libya.
Bring back Great British Railways which can connect the World for Peace.
We can connect everyone sustainably and all enjoy World Peace together.

Merchant Navy Day to be marked in Liverpool
September 1, 2017 1 min read
Liverpool is marking Merchant Navy Day on Sunday 3 September with a special service and wreath laying.
Merchant Navy Day is the annual celebration of the British Merchant Navy, and a memorial for the 36,000 merchant seafarers who died at sea in World War Two.
A public service which includes a sermon from Bishop of Liverpool, the Right Reverend Paul Bayes, is taking place at Liverpool Parish Church in the city centre at noon. This will be followed by a march to the Pier Head where wreathes will be laid from 1pm.
Lord Mayor, Cllr Malcolm Kennedy, said: "I am honoured to be representing the city as we remember the sacrifices made by seafarers who fought for our freedom.
"Liverpool played a huge role in the Battle of the Atlantic during the second world war, and sadly many hundreds of sailors lost their lives.
"It is important that we never forget the sacrifices they made in keeping the country supplied with essentials delivered by the Atlantic convoys, and the event is an important time for reflection."

The World's Most Glamorous Librarian
Community Nov 18, 2021
At the corner of 36th Street and Madison Avenue on the east side of Manhattan, you'll find a small campus of buildings that make up one of the most remarkable literary collections in the world. It's not a university or a museum, but the private collection, now open to the public, of John Pierpont Morgan, the titan of turn-of-the-century American finance and one of the most influential and well-funded book collectors the world has ever known.
Today, the Morgan holds a truly eye-popping trove of literary treasures. We're talking three Gutenberg bibles, Shakespeare first folios, drawings by Leonardo da Vinci, manuscripts with marginalia by Toni Morrison, and on and on. If Indiana Jones ever had to steal an ancient scroll, this is the kind of place he would steal it from.
It began as Morgan's private study, and when that overflowed, a stately new building complete with an ornate reading room was designed by the famous architectural firm McKim, Meade, and White. And 100 years later, a sleek glass pavilion by Renzo Piano brought "The Morgan," as it is now known into the 20th century.
The most important arrival to the Morgan, though, came the year before the grand new building that opened in 1906: a young librarian's assistant from New Jersey who, after a single 45-minute interview with J.P. Morgan himself, became the Morgan's first librarian.
She would also become a confidante, perhaps THE confidante, of America's most influential banker. And when he died in 1913, he left her $50,000, the largest bequest outside his family, which would be worth more than $1 million today. Her name was Belle de Costa Greene, then a 22-year old woman of Portuguese descent with a hodge-podge training in librarianship who got the meeting after impressing J.P. Morgan's nephew.
Except…her name wasn't Belle de Costa Greene, she wasn't 22, and she wasn't Portuguese. It would take almost 100 years after she was hired by the richest man in the world for her true identity to be uncovered.
By the time J.P. Morgan hired Belle de Costa Greene as his personal librarian, he had been seriously collecting artistic treasures for years, but his attention had increasingly turned away from his business and more seriously toward his library and collecting.
And he was just one of a bunch of newly super-wealthy Americans interested in collecting. It's a particular moment in which men made rich by the industrial revolution combined their unheard-of fortunes with a passion for art and culture.
"There were always people who, both on the American side and on the British side of the equation, that were fond of antiquities, and books, in particular, and sort of the perfect storm occurs," explains Andrea Mays, author of The Millionaire and the Bard, a history of Henry Folger's quest to collect every Shakespeare First Folio.
"The thing that enables this all to become extremely important and visible is that we have, after the end of the Civil War, the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the United States, and the consolidation, or the creation of tremendous amounts of wealth for people who had not inherited it," says Mays.
Unlike European aristocrats, these new American kings of industry did not have castles and palaces full of treasures collected over hundreds of years. They were building giant estates from scratch. And they wanted to fill their world with paintings by the Masters and first editions and antique furniture that, by definition, didn't exist in the States.
But across the Atlantic, much of the wealth-generating property of landed gentry in England and elsewhere wasn't keeping pace with what trains and cotton gins and factories could do. And there was a lifestyle to maintain.
"For example, you might have, in England, you might have someone with a royal title and a lot of money, who had no interest, really, in acquisition. There were exceptions, but, you know, some of them would rather go hunting or buy horses and so on," says Mays.
We often use the word "priceless" to describe treasures like these, but at the time, these items were truly "priceless," as in they did not have a price. Until the Morgans and Folgers of the world caught the acquisition bug, these family antiquities mostly just weren't for sale. But remember, these American men weren't just rich, they were RICH. Imagine what happens when you hear that Henry Folger wants to buy your ancestral copy of Shakespeare's First Folio:
"A nobleman has a copy that he has, a very fine copy, restored or cleaned, I can't remember exactly, and the dealer who does the restoration or conservation on his copy essentially reveals the existence of the copy, and then the possibility, 'Hey, should we try and get this for you?'," Mays explains. "Essentially, that turns into a multi-year auction. 'I'll give you this. I'll give you that,' and the price keeps going higher, and at some point, he says, 'Well, if you would offer me this outrageous amount, then I would consider selling it.'"
And the outrageous amount, which Folger ended up paying, was about $50,000 in 1903, and it was at that time the most anyone had ever paid for a book. By a lot.
"So there's certainly that part to it, that people who had perhaps not really thought about selling one of their antiquities, a book or a piece of art, would have become more aware that the prices that were being offered for those works were so high that it became very appealing to them," says Mays.
It's a classic case of demand creating supply. And as the demand, in the form of robber baron fortunes, was vast, the price started going up. And everybody knew it, from the owners to the dealers to the brokers and the buyers. The competition for literary masterworks was blistering, and it would take not just money but serious skill to assemble a world-class collection.
It's at this point that the nature of Morgan's interest in collecting springs a leak. He has the motivation and resources to buy, but the kind of collecting he wants to do requires an expertise he just doesn't possess, so he is now the biggest whale in the history of antiquities: a guy with unlimited funds who doesn't know what he's doing. He's in danger of being the mark in one of the most lucrative European industries: price-gouging keen-but-uninformed Americans.
Someone like Henry Folger, who made collecting Shakespeare his life's work, could do it because he dedicated almost his entire attention to collecting, and one particular area at that. Morgan didn't have that kind of dedication, both in terms of time and focus. He wanted the best…of everything.
"Morgan tended to collect high spots, so he would go out and he would get a really fantastic copy, a big one, uncut, with the original binding on it, or something extremely elaborate, if it wasn't the original binding, and just a fantastic copy, and then he was done," says Mays.
So with competition increasing and sellers getting more sophisticated, Morgan needed help. He needed someone to appraise and negotiate and locate these treasures spread over multiple continents, created over millennia, and written in dozens of languages. And that person turned out to be Belle de Costa Greene.
We don't exactly know why Morgan chose Greene, but we do know the sequence of events that brought her to his study for an interview. By 1905, Green was working at Princeton's library after having gone to Teacher's College in New York and then taking a short series of courses at Amherst in librarianship. But nothing on her resume suggested she was qualified for this job. She had some experience with illuminated manuscripts at Princeton, but what she had more than anything was an "in": JP Morgan's nephew Junius had met her and was enthralled by her.
So when his uncle is asking around about bright, capable, educated people to help him with his library, Junius suggests Belle. She comes into Manhattan for a sit-down and walks away with one of the most fascinating literary jobs that has ever existed: scouring the world for marvelous books to buy.
So while we may not KNOW why Morgan hired her, but we have a pretty good guess: she was simply one of the most charming women of her time.
"I had a list of adjectives that I had found in a thesaurus that would replace the adjectives that I kept falling back on."
This is Professor Heidi Adrizzone, who wrote a biography of Greene called An Illuminated Life.
"They were things like brilliant, flamboyant, animated, beautiful, exotic, these were the kinds of words that were used to describe her over, and [00:05:00] over again by people both in her personal and her professional life. Her personality was actually something that drove her profession, and her career."
Remember that Morgan is a collector of interesting things, and even at his advanced age when he met Belle he was…let's just say a great admirer of women. He was entranced by her in much the same way that the rest of society would eventually be:
"People responded to it, they remarked on it. She didn't fit their expectation of what a librarian or a secretary, or a cataloger should be, both in her appearance, and then also in her demeanor in how she interacted with people. And the kind of flair that she had, really up until the final decade of her life," says Adrizzone.
Morgan knew that to do the job well, you needed to be able to wear many different hats. You had to advise Morgan, basically tell him what to do with his money, but you also needed to be judicious about approaching European noblemen and the like.
"It was a job that, once she entered the world of buying and selling, and acting as his representative to dealers and other collectors, it was crucial that she be comfortable and able to interact with people of all ranks and backgrounds. And hold her ground against people who were her supposed social superiors, which she had to do often."
If Morgan was impressed that Belle was able to get an interview with him AND nail it without much in the way of pedigree or social standing, he didn't know the half of it. Greene's whole life to that point was about negotiating her place in the world — as we mentioned earlier, Morgan's new Portuguese librarian wasn't exactly Portuguese.
"Her father had a very public and prominent career as the first Black graduate of Harvard College. One of the first Black professors of University of South Carolina after the Civil War ended, and was a dean at Howard University, which is a historically Black at the time, all Black college in D.C. Very openly Black," explains Adrizzone.
Belle Marion Greener, who would later be known as Belle de Costa Greene, was born on November 26, 1879, to Richard and Genevieve Greener, members of Washington, D.C.'s emerging black middle class. When Belle was 6, the Greeners moved to New York City where Richard Greener had taken a job as treasurer for the Grant National Monument foundation which was at the time beginning to raise money to build Grant's Tomb.
It was during this move that the Greener's racial identity began to shift. While Richard Greener was known to be black — in fact, he was hired in part because the Grant Foundation wanted at least one black representative — his light-skinned wife and daughters could live as white relatively easily in New York. They moved into a largely white neighborhood on the west side of Manhattan where it was possible to take on a new identity.
It was a precarious existence, with Richard a high-profile figure whose work was written about in local Black newspapers and with Genevieve and their children living their day-to-day lives, for all intents and purposes, as white. It was the opposite, really, of how most stories of passing worked.
"We have a lot of evidence that,most African Americans who passed did so temporarily, primarily for work. To get a better job, or just to get a job. And some would do it, and come back to a Black family and a Black neighborhood, so that they weren't fully passing. It was just at work," explains Adrizzone.
Eventually the strain was too much for the Greener marriage. In 1888, Richard took a foreign posting in Russia, and he would never again live with the rest of the family. With him out of the country and out of the spotlight, the "Greenes" as they would be known, entered the 20th Century as white.
"I certainly think that the debate about how to live and present themselves was one of the points of contention between Richard Greener and his wife that ultimately led to their separation. But the extent to which the children were aware of this as an issue or an option, I just don't know. Belle was one of the older ones, so if any of them were part of the conversation, and part of the decision, she would have been one of them."
Little did Morgan know that the stunning self-assurance and charisma that his new librarian displayed came from long experience in observing and adjusting to unfamiliar circles. Her ability to consort with billionaires and barons with ease and flair was just another example of her "fitting in" to whatever room she was in.
Adrizzone says, "There's certainly the self-creation, or the self-recreation that comes with denying or living without explicit reference to having Black ancestry. And so part of passing requires an individual to be able to navigate a world that they did not grow up in."
The name she took, and the personal history she told people, were carefully crafted. A Portuguese background could explain her slightly darker complexion, and her middle name seemed to affirm a vaguely mediterranean lineage. And when pressed for details, she would admit to being from down south, but never would she mention Washington, DC. And people did wonder about who she was.
Mays adds, "Her race, her racial background, with the fact that she's not just white. People aren't quite sure what else she might be. Although she doesn't overly talk about it. She does covertly talk about it, or talk about it in coded ways. She would make these joking references to looking Black, to having a Black appearance. To being the darkest person in the room."
Her strategy seemed to be to defuse interest by tacitly acknowledging that she did look a little different, and wasn't that funny? But the stakes were enormously high. If it was known who her father was, everything she had worked for would go away, especially when she was just making a name for herself and proving her abilities.
"If it happened in the early years, I think it would have been over. Morgan was willing to challenge some aspects of racism, and defend some people of color, but his son was less interested in going against the grain, shall we say?" asks Mays.
It's doubtful that Greene could have known the attention that would come to her within just a few years of joining The Morgan. For obvious reasons, she avoided the limelight as long as she could, but the booming world of high-stakes book collecting wouldn't let her duck publicity for long. Eventually, she had a virtual blank check from Morgan to hunt the big-game and she found herself center stage at the most widely covered auction of the age.
"The Hoe Auction takes place in 1911. It's actually not a big deal in terms of the books that are available, or even what Greene eventually gets for the library, which is a copy, an early English language printer name Caxton, copy of the Death of Arthur, which is a version of the King Arthur myth. What makes it a turning point is the publicity that's given to it, and the prices that in part drive that publicity," says Mays.
In these days, major literary auctions made front-page news, in large part because of the stature of the players involved. The Hoe Auction pitted two of the mightiest against each other: J.P. Morgan and Henry Huntington, the railroad magnate who owned the Pacific Electric Railway. Both of them wanted the Caxton edition of The Death of Arthur, empowering their agents with unprecedented sums to acquire it. Morgan had authorized Greene to spend $100,000 to secure it.
Greene herself didn't think the copy was worth anywhere near $100,000 and her goal was to not only acquire it, but to do it at a price she could live with. And so she carefully and methodically bid up the prices on other pieces that Huntington wanted but that she herself didn't find that interesting, so when it time came to bid on the manuscript, she had more money on the sidelines than Huntington, who had been already spent $150,000 in total. In the end, she won the auction for just over $42,000.
"That was really just shocking, and dramatically high, from a public perspective. Then she got another round of publicity for being this young, beautiful woman who is in the middle of all of these Book Men buying this," says Adrizzone.
The New York papers ran headlines about the price of the book — and the woman who bought it — and the accompanying stories had sketches of them both. After this, Belle was a leading light of New York's literary and cultural circles.
She clearly enjoyed herself and drank life to the lees, but her work always came first, even if it meant giving up drinking from time to time to climb aboard the "water wagon" as she called it. But her profile also gave her an advantage in her collecting work, one that no one else enjoyed.
"She was — she would talk about this — very overtly finding scholars, charming them to death, and making them give up their secrets to her. What she had to do, then was grab onto visiting scholars who would come in to look at individual works that Morgan owned, and try to glean as much information as she could from them about what they were doing, and what books she should be reading to understand what they were doing," explains Adrizzone.
Belle was constantly expanding her knowledge base so she could make better decisions about what to buy and how much to pay. Just think of the scope of her task: she had to be able to make informed choices about whether or not to buy this Renaissance painting or that early Christian manuscript. Anything related to European culture going back to antiquity — she needed a working knowledge of it.
It's sort of difficult to express how unusual a position she was in. This was a world of men, of rich and highly educated men, so initially her tasks were limited, and even then she wasn't really what Morgan had in mind:
Says Adrizzone: "She wasn't the kind of person that Morgan was looking for even for the first version of her job there, which was simply just to catalog his possessions at the library. Fairly low-level compared to what she ended up doing, but he was looking for a man with a degree. He wasn't looking for an un-degreed young woman who had only been a librarian's assistant for a couple of years."
But Greene's ambition and competence quickly became apparent, and she ended up doing much more for Morgan than shelving books:
"She really was organizing his private life as much as his book-related life. She talks about reading Bible passages to him at night when he was worried about the financial situation of the nation and just needed some soothing. She also talks about trying to manage his actual mistresses, of whom he had multiple at one time. And trying to make sure that they didn't accidentally meet each other as they were coming to meet him."
When Morgan died in 1913, his son Jack took over the empire, and though he was initially wary about the Morgan collection and Belle herself, she persuaded him to not only continue the process of refining and expanding the collection, but start the process of turning it into a public institution. This was something on her mind from early on, and shortly after she bought the Hoe manuscript, she wrote a rare article in which she warned about private collections taking too many books and manuscripts from one sequestered collection to another. She wanted to make sure these treasures would be accessible to the world.
"Belle da Costa Greene believed, take these volumes off the dusty shelves of the aristocrats in England, and put them into the hands of scholars, and democratize, you know, essentially make available to everybody, what these works are that had formerly been locked up in these libraries," Mays says.
And in large part thanks to Greene, you can do that today. If you go to the Morgan right now, you can see Jane Austen's unfinished manuscript of a novel called The Watsons and the journals of Henry David Thoreau and, not for nothing, The Book of Hunting, Hawking, and Heraldry by Juliana Berners which was published in 1486 and is generally thought to be the first printed book written by a woman.

CloudJumper At Microsoft Inspire – "Productive" Is An Understatement
The CloudJumper team is energized by our experience at Microsoft Inspire 2018 – we made so many new connections, spread the word about what Cloud Workspace® Management Suite can do with Azure, and more!
The CloudJumper team and I have just recently returned from Microsoft Inspire, one of the biggest partner conferences worldwide. How did it go? In a nutshell, we're all very happy, and so very tired.
Microsoft Inspire ran from July 15 – 19 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center and T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV. The team and I spent a very busy, very productive four days talking about what CloudJumper has to offer.
While we have long attended the Microsoft partner conference, this year one of our primary goals was to promote how Cloud Workspace® Management Suite is fully compatible with Azure. This was clearly the right place to spread the word – over the course of the 4-day event, countless Microsoft personnel stopped by our booth to chat about the capabilities that our solution offers for task automation in Azure.
The highlight of our time in Vegas was our CTO, Drew Walz's presentation, "Remote Desktop Services (RDS): Partner business opportunities hosting Windows desktops and applications on Microsoft Azure." Drew spoke to a packed venue (standing room only) about how Cloud Workspace® Management Suite for Azure seamlessly and automatically deploys Remote Desktop (RDS) and application workloads, manages the environment post-implementation (everything from VM Resources to User application entitlement) and seamlessly connects to the users Microsoft Office 365 identities.
He got to demonstrate how this solution simplifies system access by letting users pass their Active Directory Domain Services credentials throughout the platform, allowing for simple and secure single sign-on and a more convenient user experience. No matter how requirements change, this solution manages each and every layer of the administrator's technology stack and server resources with dynamic resource adjustment.
Of course, he also shared that cost management becomes a much simpler process thanks to our multiple patents and abilities for on-demand scale up and scale out. He also covered our newest patent-pending technology of putting entire RDS workloads to "sleep" and only "waking up" what is needed on demand. CloudJumper vastly reduces cloud resource costs when compared to convention models of IT service delivery. This Azure-based service offers complete usage visibility for the provider, which in turn supports increased levels of business mobility and agility for those who use it.
At the conference, Microsoft shared that RDS workloads are the single fastest growing consumer of resources in Azure, and so, to put it lightly, the many capabilities offered by Cloud Workspace® Management Suite went over well with the attendees at Microsoft Inspire.
Before, during and after Drew's presentation, the CloudJumper team met with countless new and long-term partners and industry members who were interested in what we offer. We had productive talks with many of our partners doing great work, from Pax8 and FSLogix to Swizznet and Continuum.
The conference, being a worldwide partner event, was also a great opportunity for the CloudJumper team to get in touch with others in the industry from around the world. There were even three MSPs that hurried back so quickly after Drew's presentation that they made it to our booth before we did.
For those three individuals, it was all about how we could help them migrate large-scale workloads from Citrix to RDS in Azure – as one of them put it, "You had me at automated migration." For so many out there, migration is still a tedious, drawn-out experience, especially when it comes to moving thousands of users and their data from one platform in the cloud to another. We were happy to show them how that no longer had to be the case.
In another case, one of the attendees at Microsoft Inspire had learned to do everything manually as a one-man team – when he learned about Cloud Workspace® Management Suite, he began considering how he needed to change his entire company model. If he could remove steps or even entire processes from his daily work, that would revolutionize everything he does.
Overall, the time spent at Microsoft Inspire speaking to others in the industry and seeing how intriguing our service offering is only served to cement our belief that we are the largest — and in many ways, the only — provider of this type of service right now.
As you can imagine, the team and I are rather exhausted now that we're back, but we couldn't be happier with the experience. We met everyone we hoped to, made a huge impact on those in attendance, and reached so many more potential partners.
We have always been proud to work with and, in turn, benefit from Microsoft's support – as far as we're concerned, Microsoft Inspire was a huge success for CloudJumper this year, and we can't wait to see what kind of news we'll bring to attendees in 2019.

Blasting open the roof of the structure with explosives, the troops, led by Kenobi, rappeled into the control room and quickly destroyed all the security droids. He flew past the ship as the missiles started arriving; the missiles hit the swarm of fighters pursuing him, destroying a large number of them. After the joust and battle with Durge, General Kenobi rushed through the city to the command tower, where he met up with the Muunilinst 10. Its shallow oceans contained hundreds of "smokers," which were conical volcanoes built up by powerful vents in the crust. Confederacy of Independent Systems[5]InterGalactic Banking Clan[5] They proceeded to besiege the cities. The Battle for Muunilinst, also known as the Invasion of Muunilinst and Battle for Harnaidan, was a short-lived battle fought in 99 ABY during the Jedi/Imperial War on Muunilinst. At that point, Kenobi received a transmission from General Daakman Barrek on Hypori, a distress call, which would lead to another significant turn of events with the introduction of a new foe: General Grievous, the Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies. After taking out surrounding droid snipers, taking one casualty in the process, the troops found they were cut off from their original drop zone, but still made their way to the enemy command center. [1] If these ships were Acclamator-class assault ships and were filled to their maximum specifications as would be expected, at least 3.2 million clone troopers would have been deployed to the battle. [1], The Republic forces made considerable progress during the initial stage of the Harnaidan siege, with SPHA artillery pieces concentrating fire on the ground just before the clone front lines.

Home Politics Middle East Russian Aerospace Forces are warning
Russian Aerospace Forces are warning
Yury Veselov, military observer
More details about the military incident involving a Turkish convoy on August 19 are becoming available. Jet fighters of the Syrian Air Forces and the Russian Aerospace Forces delivered a preventive air strike near the Turkish convoy on the outskirts of the town of Maarat al-Numan, 15 kilometers northwards Khan Shaikhoun. The convoy consisted of more than 50 wheeled armored vehicles and trucks which carried up to 10 tanks and a large quantity of ammunition.
According to the Turkish Ministry of Defense, before the convoy was dispatched the Russian side had been notified that the military equipment and cargo was allegedly intended to reinforce the Turkish garrison at the 9th observer post in southern Khan Shaikhoun. It is exactly where the Syrian governmental army is now unfolding a rather successful offensive operation against units of the Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist organization, which is banned in Russia.
Logical questions arise: why the majority of trucks were driven by militants from the Muslim Brotherhood organization, which is banned in Russia, rather than by Turkish soldiers and why the convoy was guarded by a large number of armed extremists?
Turkey's Minister of Defense Hulusi Akar reacted to the Khan Shaikhoun incident signing a statement which says: "The attack of the Syrian army at the Turkish military convoy undermines agreements (with Russia) reached in Astana and Sochi, forces us to take every measure for protection and give us the right to respond."
Such rhetoric of the Turkish leadership isn't new. Ankara doesn't hide its intention by all available means to prevent Syria's government from establishing control over liberated districts of northwestern Syria, as well as from Russia's exerting stronger military and political influence in Syria. Turkey's Minister of Foreign Affairs Mevlut Cavusoglu said directly that "Ankara isn't going to wrap up the activity of its 12 observer posts in the "de-escalation zone". On the contrary, they will be reinforced with armored vehicles, artillery and personnel. As far as the enclave Afrin is concerned, only Turkey will control this district: Syrian governmental troops are out of question there."
It can be expected that the Turkish authorities will soon again try to stage a provocation aimed at deteriorating relations with Syria. However, knowing that Moscow has taken a harsh and principled position in support of Damascus's military policy, Ankara is unlikely to go for an open confrontation with its southern neighbor and deterioration of relations with Russia. Turkey has made a very high stake and it is very dangerous for it to risk.
Ankara is expected to host a meeting of the presidents of Russia, Iran and Turkey on September 11, 2019. Undoubtedly, the situation in northwestern Syria, prospects of creating a Turkey-controlled security zone and Iran's further presence in the region will be the main topics on the agenda. As of now, breakthrough decisions are unlikely to be made. But there is no doubt that Moscow has managed to calm down its allies.

Aircraft on Display
1941 Boeing A75N1/PT-17 "Stearman"
First flown in 1934, the Stearman name changed depending on the nation and military branch flying it. Most common was the PT-17, built for the U.S. Army Air Corps and outfitted with a 220 hp Continental R-670-5 engine. Regardless of name, the plane served as the primary military trainer for a half dozen nations. Its welded steel fuselage allowed the plane to take the punishment of student pilots while the wooden wings and fabric covering reduced costs compared to all metal airplanes.
The tandem cockpit design allowed the student to sit in the front cockpit, with the instructor in the back. With the controls linked between the two cockpits, instructor pilots could easily take control of the plane when student pilots faltered.
Post-War Use
After World War II, civilian pilots used Stearmans for barnstorming, crop dusters, pulling advertising banners, and more. Stearmans were a common sight at College Park Airport during the Brinckerhoff years, particularly at the air races and as stunt planes.
Last Flight
The Museum's Stearman has an unusual contribution to the history of aviation. In April 2000, Gus McLeod flew this Stearman N8NP for the first open-cockpit flight over the North Pole. McLeod took off from Montgomery Air Park in Gaithersburg, MD, and after 13-days, circled the North Pole on April 17. Unfortunately, mechanical problems forced him to abandon the Stearman on an ice floe. A month later, he returned to find that N8NP had drifted about 80 miles from where he had left it. The repaired airplane and McLeod flew as far as Alert, Nunavut, Canada before the weather prohibited further flight. With help from the National Air and Space Museum, New York Air National Guard, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Navy, N8NP was finally brought back to Maryland. Gus McLeod flew the plane one last time at the 2000 College Park Air Fair before donating it to the College Park Aviation Museum.
