Telepsychiatry visits are carried out using a HIPAA-compliant connection to keep your protected health information safe. The technology is similar to using Skype or Facetime, however, the telepsychiatry technology is encrypted. The technology has to meet certain medical standards to use.
Want to prepare for your first visit with a psychiatrist?
Print out this form that has 16 questions to answer before your psychiatric appointment. This will help you and your psychiatrist get the most out of the visit.
Many communities are underserved by psychiatrists and wait times can be prohibitive. Previously unavailable services can now be accessible throughout the country. Telepsychiatry allows us to easily connect with one another irrespective of location.
There is an important caveat though!
Even though we have the capabilities to see anyone in the world using this technology, doctors can only treat people in the states they are licensed.
The psychiatrist doesn't have to reside in the state where they are licensed. A psychiatrist can be licensed in multiple states and treat people all over the country. It is a time consuming and expensive process to get and maintain different licenses hence why many doctors just stick to one.
2. A Virtual Visit Saves Time!
Telepsychiatry visits can be a welcome solution for challenges that make it hard to come to appointments. This includes time pressures at work, transportation issues, or childcare difficulties.
Reduce the need take time off work to travel to appointments by scheduling a virtual appointment. No more sitting in traffic or wasting time in a waiting room. Reduce the stress that surrounds the logistics of scheduling and getting to an appointment.
There are not enough psychiatrists and certain areas have severe shortages. This especially rings true for subspecialists such as Geriatric, Child and Adolescent, and Addiction Psychiatrists.
There is a national opiate crisis yet there are many areas of the country where there are no licensed psychiatrists to treat patients needing help with opiate dependence. In order to prescribe buprenorphine (Suboxone), psychiatrists need extra training in order to get the special DEA license. Without that license, a doctor is unable to prescribe "medication-assisted treatment". Telepsychiatry can expand access to licensed psychiatrists in areas of shortages.
Not all doctors see patients via telemedicine but many are starting to. I use telepsychiatry in my practice and I love it. Sometimes my patients come to see me in the office and sometimes we schedule a follow-up virtual visit. If a patient is running late (or missing the appointment) we can quickly change to telepsychiatry. Snow storms? No problem! Care can continue without the need for rescheduling.
Telepsychiatry has the ability to improve access to mental health care. It is now feasible for the working professional, stay at home parent, anyone living a distance from their specialist, or people seeking convenient care to get treatment.
Have You Had a Virtual Doctor Visit? What was it Like for You?
Telepsychiatry is one of the most promising developments in the fight to provide more patient-centered interventions for individuals who need psychiatric care.
By eliminating the additional time and expense associated with travel, telepsychiatry makes it easier to intervene faster in crisis situations.


Derelict vessel investigation prompts emergency cleanup response.
Local beach lovers spent their May Long Weekend clearing a significant amount of Styrofoam off Florencia Bay.
"It was absolutely vital to get those toxic pieces of Styrofoam off the beach before they were broken down and posed a risk to marine animals," Surfrider Pacific Rim co-chair Michelle Hall told the Westerly News.
The beach cleaning efforts were part of an emergency response launched by Surfrider during an investigation into the derelict vessel that's still sitting on Florencia Beach after crashing ashore on April 21.
Hall said several locals asked Surfrider whether the organization planned to clear the vessel from the sand so volunteers went to investigate.
"A few people went to Florencia on [May 21] to assess the scale of debris and make a plan. It was at that point of witnessing the level of Styrofoam debris on the beach that Surfrider decided to take an immediate emergency response clean up," she said.
While the vessel itself could not be cleared, Surfrider reached through social media channels to pull the community together and remove the Styrofoam from the beach and Hall was delighted by the response.
She added she was not surprised to see locals rally together and put their backs into protecting their beach.
She hopes Surfrider can harness this love to engage more volunteers.
Anyone interested in volunteering with Surfrider is encouraged to reach out to surfriderpacificrim@gmail.com.
Tofino Mayor Josie Osborne told the Westerly she was thrilled to hear about the local efforts to remove the Styrofoam but added the derelict vessel issue is a tough nut to crack as the responsibility for removal, and where to send the bill, remains unclear.
Parks Canada spokesperson Rae Kingdon told the Westerly the Pacific Rim National Park is putting a plan in place to remove the vessel.
"We appreciate that local community members share our concern over the derelict vessel that recently washed up on the shores of Florencia Beach. Clearing our beaches of ocean debris is a challenging and ongoing process in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, and derelict vessels are not uncommon in coastal British Columbia," Kingdon said.

The CIA's Buddhist Affair
BRETT POPPLEWELL
Around the world this week, as monks, exiles and supporters of the Dalai Lama marked the 50th anniversary of a failed Tibetan uprising, politicians and state-run media outlets in Beijing preached at length about the Communist Party's liberation of Tibetan slaves.
Meanwhile, in suburban Washington, John Kenneth Knaus, a retired CIA officer who led a covert command centre from New Delhi 50 years ago, worked on a new book about 100 years of American involvement in Tibet, including his own experiences feeding weapons and supplies to monks and resistance fighters.
On March 10, 1959, thousands of Tibetans surrounded the Dalai Lama's palace in Lhasa for fear that their spiritual leader might soon be abducted by the occupying force Mao Zedong had maintained in Tibet since 1950. Soon, protesters across the region were declaring Tibet's independence.
Seven days later the Dalai Lama was gone, spirited out of the country on horseback to India.
Some estimate more than 85,000 Tibetans died in the conflict that ensued as the Chinese army cracked down on the revolt.
Knaus had been working on the CIA's Tibetan file since the mid-1950s. Before taking up his post in New Delhi, he had helped train some 300 Tibetan resistance fighters in Colorado.
He says no American operatives were ever dropped into Tibet, though he says that in July 1958 and February 1959, the CIA did airdrop guns, hand grenades and rounds of munitions.
"The Tibetan revolt was instituted by the Tibetans and carried out by them," Knaus, 85, said in a phone interview this week. "It was not a CIA operation in essence."
In 1954, the Dalai Lama paid a diplomatic visit to Mao in Beijing. Soon after returning to Tibet he found many of his people, including monks, armed and open in revolt.
"You had monks carrying guns," says Knaus.
"The Chinese were trying to take their guns away from them. They (the Chinese) were really asking for it. The revolt was self-generated, completely."
In 1957, the Dalai Lama's older brother, Gyalo Thondup, recruited five men to be trained by the CIA on the Pacific island of Saipan. They were returned to Tibet to assess and organize the resistance. "At the time it was thought that this could make a difference," Knaus notes.
"The CIA had had a bitter experience by not being able to supply any real support to the Hungarian revolt a year earlier," when civilians in Budapest rose up against Communist rule and received encouragement and supplies from the CIA, only to be crushed by the Soviets when the Red Army rolled into the city. "So (the agency) didn't want to raise any false hopes and false expectations about what could be done in Tibet."
Knaus left the U.S. for New Delhi in 1960. Knaus estimates that in the years that under his watch he estimates, the CIA dropped 700,000 pounds of supplies to Tibetan rebels. But he says that by 1968, with the U.S. caught up in Vietnam and with the Chinese in control of the situation in Tibet, the resistance seemed "no longer technically or morally supportable," and the CIA withdrew its support.
In his 1999 book, Orphans of the Cold War: America and the Tibetan Struggle for Survival, Knaus laments the failure of the operation. But he says the essence of what the CIA-supported resistance fought for lives on in the peaceful protests sanctioned by the Dalai Lama and carried out by hundreds of thousands around the world today.
Knaus, who worked at the American Embassy in Ottawa for a time following his tenure in Asia, has met the Dalai Lama in the years since the CIA involvement in Tibet ceased. He says that although the Dalai Lama knew of the CIA's operations, he never gave them his blessing.
"The first time I met him in 1964, I didn't think he was terribly anxious to see me," recalls Knaus.
"Then I realized that I represented him with this moral dilemma. He knew that the CIA by then was and had been providing arms to his people. But, as a Buddhist, it was a terrible, complete moral dilemma for him."

Posted by Alex Constantine at 11:57 AM
He didnt seem to mind the US$1.7 million annually that the CIA was paying the TGIE and US$180,000 annually paid personally to the Dalai Lama. Maybe this is why he was not anxious to meet Knaus?

Unhappiness and feelings of emptiness are familiar to many. What are the roots of our discontent?
In our current system, everything is driven by feeding a system with an insatiable appetite. Without demand, suppliers cannot survive, so it is imperative that demand is stoked, fueled, twisted, and ensured by whatever means ethical or not.
The system is so entrenched that it doesn't know how to stop unless by raising production and consumption.
Consumption can only keep increasing via an ever-expanding population base, planned obsolesce in products that break down quickly, creating new fads and fashions, and constantly seeking to "fill the void" people feel from being consumers.
It's a battle to keep this system going with marketing people more and more challenged to create more devious, delusional and empty promises to feed the insatiable spiritual hunger people feel. The more empty the consumption, the more that hunger grows. Eventually the whole system will implode. It has to. When the economic tsunami hits, what will you do?
Call it the delusion of economics, or economics of delusion.
The whole system cannot survive if people keep consuming more and more of things they don't need, ultimately spiritually depleting them. Many end up shallow and miserable because of chasing a false dream.
Most people have been misled to believe that happiness is outside of them, that there is some idealised destination, some material possession that if they can gain a hold of, then all will be well. If they can get this external "thing" and grab onto it, hold it tightly, then they will feel whole and complete. In fact, our whole society is geared towards consumerism.
Personal identity and self-esteem are linked to an external factor that may or not be achievable. Fortunately, most goals are achievable, they just take time, resources, circumstance and opportunity. Many give up when they face hurdles and worse, fall into despair when they "fail" to achieve their objectives.
It is virtually impossible to reach all goals, unless they are realistic. It is also impossible for life not to deal unpredictable cards, for the unexpected to occur.
That we should panic and self-destruct when something unexpected and uncalled for occurs, shows how naive and incomplete our education has been as human beings. It reflects our need for wisdom. It's no accident that depression, anxiety and suicide are so common in our societies. We are seeking something external. We are seeking wholeness from something far out of reach. The void stems from seeking something outside of ourselves.
It is not needed that we change where we are, or where we are going; what is required is to see our world anew.


Another Earth Day is upon us, and for me it is a reminder of how delicate life as we know it is, or appears to be on our planet. Yet for all the hype Earth Day generates, it quickly wears off and I seem to easily fall into the mindset of indifference. It is not that I want to be, or don't care about conservation or being greener, it is the fact that being green is not a way of life or a world view I possess right now.
So as the days roll by and Earth Day fades, I will move on to the multitudes of other things that occupy my life: work, family, chores, traffic, art, bills etc. I won't give much thought about tossing a can in the trash, or ordering a to-go cup in a styrofoam container. I at least throw such things in the trash and don't litter, isn't that enough? At the end of the day I don't think the knee jerk recyclers will put much more of a dent into being greener than I will, especially if they buy a SUV that gets crap gas mileage. I'm sure people well in the tree hugging/global warming/carbon footprint camps will scorn my words and tell me "doing your share does make a difference…" but in the end will it?
Look at the numbers going against my little contribution to being greener. I'm a single individual living in a developed western nation of 306 some million? The far east has eight times as many people than the US alone and of that portion how many people are so informed about Earth Day and all the trappings that are associated with it?
Do foreign governments and corporations care enough to pay the higher price to be greener at the expense of profits, growth, gnp and their bottom lines? Do they regulate like more developed nations in the west? Not that the USA is by any stretch a role model, we do have regulatory measures in place and continue to push a green agenda upon ourselves, regardless of how diminished the impact will be considering this is not reciprocated in developing nations. We all know our consumption and waste per person exceeds everyone else's on the planet, so we should be taking the initiative and not pontificating the "greener" high ground when it suites our needs and ignore it when it does not.
With that said, in a world of six billion and growing, we are a thin slice of the population pie, a shrinking minority if I may. Let's assume we were to somehow completely eliminate pollution on American soil. The pollution numbers would still rocket up, especially in developing nations and those without regulations, ability or willingness to make our presence here less destructive. Is it fair to ask such things of nations going through the industrial growing pains we went through to get where we are today?
Either way time is not on our side. How much time do we have left before something critical in the food chain breaks due to our hegemony on this planet? Maybe it will be the plankton in the ocean that will die off when the ocean temperatures rise 1.5 degrees F above what they are now and the fish that eat them lose their food source and so forth and so on?
I do believe we are standing on a precipice over a deep hole, held up by all that has been put here before our time as a species over tens if not hundreds of millions of years. Yet we are unraveling the foundations of our existence because it is our nature to do so, and I doubt we will ever be a harmonious part of this planet. Will we reach a breaking point in my life time? Will my children witness the fall of man? Who knows, I'm sure these same questions have been asked previously by those who have come and gone before me.
As arrogant a thought it is to think we can affect something such as the earth I honestly feel there is some truth in it. We are helping certain processes along for better or worse, and the cycles of our climate, our solar system and life are going to go on with or without us. We need to realize that we are along for the ride just like everything else living on this world, and we have to find a way to coexist with the other species before we make the journey itself impossible to sustain. In the end, one way or another, a extinction event will occur and the entire surface of the planet will be 'recycled', plastic and all.
It would be nice to think others are contemplating what Earth Day means for them before the catch phrase fades away in the weeks to come. Let's hope that we can collectively figure out how to co-habitate our little rock in space in a way that is sustaining and benevolent, then we will at least not be guilty of self destruction by our polluting hand.

De Aquitaine was een Franse binnenlandse TEE-trein voor de verbinding Parijs - Bordeaux. De Aquitaine is vernoemd naar de provincie Aquitanië waarvan Bordeaux de hoofdstad is.

Op 23 mei 1971 werd de Aquitaine in het TEE-net opgenomen als "spiegeltrein" van de sneltrein L'Etendard. Het traject Parijs - Bordeaux werd, zonder tussenstops, in vier uur afgelegd wat neer komt op een gemiddelde snelheid van 145 km/u, destijds een snelheidsrecord, waarmee de Aquitaine ook de snelste TEE was. De terugreis duurde, met twee tussenstops, slechts negen minuten langer.

Nadat begin jaren 1980 de frequentie was teruggebracht, is in 1984 de trein als gewone sneltrein voortgezet.

Rollend materieel

De treindienst werd verzorgd door de getrokken treinen bestaande uit een CC 6500 locomotief en TEE Grand confort-rijtuigen van de SNCF

Route en dienstregeling
De Aquitaine reed de eerste tien jaar zonder tussenstop van Parijs naar Bordeaux

Vanaf 31 mei 1981 stopte TEE 1 ook in Angoulême en vanaf 27 september 1981 ook in Poitiers.
St. Pierre des Corps, een voorstad van Tours, werd op 27 september 1981 als extra stop voor TEE 2 toegevoegd, vanaf 23 mei 1982 stopte ook TEE 1 in St. Pierre des Corps. De laatste rit als TEE was op 30 mei 1984.

Antetokounmpo siblings become first trio of brothers to win NBA titles
Reuters / 03:58 PM July 21, 2021
FILE – Kostas Antetokounmpo, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, and Alexis Antetokounmpo attend the 2019 NBA Awards presented by Kia on TNT at Barker Hangar on June 24, 2019 in Santa Monica, California. Joe Scarnici/Getty Images for Turner Sports/AFP
Giannis and Thanasis Antetokounmpo became NBA champions on Tuesday with the Milwaukee Bucks, putting them level with younger brother Kostas and making them the first trio of brothers to win a league title.
Kostas, 23, played for the Los Angeles Lakers team that won last year's NBA championship, which naturally made for some good-natured family jokes.
"Obviously at the dinner table it was awkward a little bit because he had the ring before me," Giannis, 26, said during an on-court interview. "But now me and Thanasis have ours."
Giannis immediately went on IG live with his brother Thanasis, who's in quarantine.

— Complex Sports (@ComplexSports) July 21, 2021
Giannis was named the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player after ha averaged 35.2 points, 13.2 rebounds and five assists during the 4-2 series win over the Phoenix Suns.
Thanasis, 29, played a minor role off the bench during the playoffs but did not suit up in the last two games of the Finals after entering the NBA's health and safety protocols.
There have been many siblings who have played in the NBA and prior to the Antetokounmpo siblings, Spaniards Pau and Marc Gasol were the only other brothers to win NBA titles after doing so with the Lakers and Toronto Raptors respectively.

In order to help combat food insecurity in Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Nets and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) have teamed up to launch The Brooklyn Nets Food Pantry presented by HSS. The food pantry will be located at P.S. 308, Clara Cardwell School, in Brooklyn's Bed-Stuy neighborhood – an area where food insecurity impacts approximately 26% of the population according to Food Bank For New York City – and will be stocked with non-perishable food items and provided the necessary support to distribute free groceries and meals on-site.
P.S. 308 is a Title 1 school, serving a high number of children from low-income households. In order to provide additional support for these families, the Nets and HSS will also work with the Food Bank and P.S. 308 to deploy a family-focused nutrition program to help address food insecurities experienced by students and their families.
As part of the nutrition program, each month the Nets and HSS will release recipe cards containing the ingredients and steps to prepare a Nets player's favorite recipe, along with healthy snack pairings from HSS nutritionists and a physical activity suggestion from HSS physical trainers. Additionally, one student from P.S. 308 will have the opportunity to participate in a virtual cooking class with a Nets player using ingredients from the food pantry to prepare his favorite recipe.
Distributions will occur several times per month based on a schedule designated by school administration, and patrons will have the opportunity to select items by food group, completely free of charge, to meet the needs of each individual family.
The pantry is now open and will continue to operate through June 2021. You can contact the school here to determine eligibility or search the Food Bank NYC map for a site near you.
Custom Tote Bags for Sale Benefitting Food Bank for NYC
HSS and the Brooklyn Nets teamed up to create custom New York themed reusable tote bags to raise money to benefit Food Bank for NYC. Your purchase will help provide the needed food and services to over 1.5 million New Yorkers that Food Bank for NYC serves.

Sex, Drugs, and Yoga: A Memoir: One Woman's Journey from Rock Bottom to Inner Peace (Hardcover)
By Birdie Paradise
A powerful, visceral memoir of a life undone.
As she speeds through her twenties, Birdie is oblivious that Saturn is journeying towards its notorious return. She's far too busy searching for a connection in all the wrong places. Amid the chaos, she is unaware that twenty-seven will see her reach an ultimate low and that twenty-nine is going to be her most transformative year. As her mental health deteriorates, masochism and psychedelics become her safe space; a world of destruction in which she rises to the throne. But regardless that life glitters, on the inside she is cold.
Entering adulthood in a time before social media's documentation of one's every move, she has a handle on keeping her private life discrete. Just. But the problem with secrets is they always have a way surfacing. Running away from her past takes her far from home; distancing herself from her pain proves more difficult.
Ultimately, she must look inwards. Delve deeper than ever before. And practising yoga invites her to do just that. It's more challenging than she thought possible - the stillness, the light. But it sure as hell is better than the dark.
Through intimate access to her personal diary, Sex, Drugs, and Yoga shares a decade of Birdie's innermost thoughts as she navigates this period of transition, showing first-hand that even the depths of despair can lead to breakthroughs and to life.
A rawness reminiscent of James Frey and glimmers of a poetic brilliance evocative of Rupi Kaur coalesce in this remarkable debut, shining a light on addiction, isolation, and finding inner strength.

Q: Observation of gauge in artificial magnetic fields In the ultracold atom community, an "artificial gauge field" or "artificial magnetic field" is a spatially varying hopping phase somehow engineered into the system, so that atoms hopping around an optical lattice gain a non-integrable phase factor in (seemingly) precise analogy with a gauge field.
However, it would appear that there is a major caveat to this comparison. In a recent paper, it is claimed:

A common belief is that all observables
  are gauge-independent. However, gauge-dependent observations
  can be made in time-of-flight images of ultracold
  atoms when the momentum distribution of the
  wavefunction is observed. The sudden switch-off of all
  laser beams transforms canonical momentum, which is
  gauge dependent, into mechanical momentum, which is
  readily observed [29].

And, indeed, they observe a change in lattice symmetry that reflects the non-translation-invariant gauge choice, rather than the translation-invariant artificial magnetic field that it creates. Clearly, when taken at face value this is a major difference from a true gauge field.
So my questions are then:

*

*Is the above really a reasonable description of what happens in
these artificial gauge field experiments, or does it just somehow
signal a breakdown of the analogy between these systems and real
gauge fields?

*Whatever the difference is between artificial and real gauge fields, does this imply any effects of real gauge fields that would not be observable in these artificial gauge experiments? Or do these artificial gauge fields somehow improve on real gauge fields, in that they reproduce all the phenomena of true gauge fields and on top of that have the additional property of being directly measurable?

A: Disclaimer: I do particle physics / cosmology, so this is definitely outside my field, apply grains of salt to this answer appropriately.
I think Reference [29] (Lin et al, arxiv reference: 1008.4864) honestly does a better job of explaining what is going on (which makes sense, the impression I get is that 1008.4864 is a foundational paper in this subfield).
The gist, as I understand it from Lin et al, is that the hamiltonian for the system they are interested in--neutral atoms in a BEC state coupled to two intersecting lasers--can be written like:
\begin{equation}
H_{BEC} = (\vec{p} - \vec{p}_{min})^2,
\end{equation}
where $\vec{p}_{min}$ is a quantity that can be controlled by the experimenters (adjusting the lasers).
Lin et al note that this is formally similar to the hamiltonian for a charged particle moving in a background electromagnetic field
\begin{equation}
H_{charged} = (\vec{p} - q \vec{A})^2 + q \phi,
\end{equation}
where $\vec{A}$ and $\phi$ are the vector and scalar potentials respectively. Of course, $H_{charged}$ is gauge invariant.
To implement this analogy, they introduce an analogue vector potential $\vec{A^*}$ and scalar potential $\phi^*$ (they don't really introduce $\phi*$ but let's run with it for now). Then Lin et al identify
\begin{equation}
\vec{p}_{min} = q^* \vec{A^*},
\end{equation}
and also work in a gauge where
\begin{equation}
\phi^* = 0.
\end{equation}
Then in that gauge, the analogue electric field is given by $\vec{E^*} = -\dot{\vec{A^*}}$.
Thus, Lin et al point out that there are effects from setting up a time dependent $\vec{A}$ (ie a time dependent $\vec{p}_{min}$). From the perspective of the analogue gauge theory, this is due to the fact that the analogue electric field $\vec{E}^*$ is non-zero. The analogue electric field is a gauge invariant, observable quantity.
The passage you cite (from 1503.08243, Kennedy et al) suggests that the effect they measure comes from a time dependent $\vec{A^*}$. Again this would lead to a non-zero $\vec{E^*}$.
Of course, from the perspective of the analogue gauge theory, they are free to perform a gauge transformation, and they must get the same answer because physical observables must be gauge invariant (this point is ironclad--if the rest of this answer is wrong, this one point can't be wrong unless the analogy to gauge fields completely breaks down).
However, a gauge transformation will necessarily turn on $\phi^*$. In other words, $\phi^*$ will be nonzero in any other gauge. This requires one to change the original Hamiltonian to take this into account. What will still be true is that
\begin{equation}
H_{BEC}=(\vec{p}-\vec{p}_{min})^2 = (\vec{p} - q\vec{A^*})^2 + q \phi^*
\end{equation}
so obviously in this new gauge we can no longer identify $q\vec{A^*} = \vec{p}_{min}$. I think this is really what Kennedy et al are getting at, this relationship between $\vec{A^*}$ and $\vec{p}_{min}$ is not gauge invariant.
When the new hamiltonian is used correctly, the final answer will be the same in any gauge.
However I think that actually showing this works would be overkill--the bottom line I think is that $\vec{E^*}$ is non-zero, so everyone in the end is making measurements of a gauge invariant quantity.

Update 7/4
So I had a chance to look at this more. In the end I just have to disagree with the quote you cited--the observables do not depend on the gauge. However the gauge they choose is particularly nice, and finding a manifestly gauge invariant formulation of what they are doing might not be worth it. The bottom line is that once you gauge fix, every combination of operators you write down is gauge invariant (since there is no gauge freedom left), and therefore there is guaranteed to be a gauge invariant combination of operators that reduces to the combination you wrote down in the gauge you picked. In other words, one completely valid way to describe a gauge invariant quantity is to say what it looks like in a well defined gauge. What I think is going on is that the observable Kennedy et al are measuring (column density in momentum space) is very natural in one gauge fixed version of the problem, but finding the manifestly gauge invariant version would be unnecessarily complicated.
More details:
Powell et al (1009.1389) is a really good paper that discusses the theoretical aspects of what is going on in setups like the one used in Kennedy et al. The underlying formalism you need is gauge theory on a lattice. The basic idea is that there are fermion fields living on a given lattice site that create particles at that lattice site. In Kennedy et al these are referred to as $a_{m,n}$ (where $m,n$ are indices on a 2D lattice). There are also link fields, which are given by Wilson lines that connect the lattice site $(m,n)$ to the lattice site $(m',n')$
\begin{equation}
W_{(m,n),(m',n')} = \exp \left(i\int_{(x_m,y_n)}^{(x_{m'},y_{n'})} d\vec{x}\cdot\vec{A}\right) = e^{i\phi_{(m,n),(m',n')}}
\end{equation}
The last line works because this is a $U(1)$ gauge field, so the integrals are numbers.
Both the $a_{m,n}$ operators, and the phases $\phi_{m,n}$, transform under gauge transformations. The gauge transformations occur on each site independently, so we can write the parameters of the gauge transformation as $\lambda_{m,n}$. The $a$ operators transform as
\begin{equation}
a_{m,n} \rightarrow e^{i \lambda_{m,n}} a_{m,n}
\end{equation}
and the Wilson lines transform as
\begin{equation}
W_{(m,n),(m',n')} \rightarrow e^{i \lambda_{m,n}} W_{(m,n),(m',n')} e^{-i \lambda_{m',n'}}
\end{equation}
or equivalently
\begin{equation}
\phi_{(m,n),(m',n')} \rightarrow \phi_{(m,n),(m',n')} + \lambda_{m,n} - \lambda_{m',n'}
\end{equation}
As a particle theorist / cosmologist, I am more familiar with the above formulas in their continuum form, where I would call $a$ by the name $\psi$, so $\psi(x)\rightarrow e^{i\lambda(x)}\psi(x)$ and $W(x,y) \rightarrow e^{i \lambda(x)} W(x,y) e^{-i\lambda(y)}$.
One key observation is that the "hopping Hamiltonian" from Kennedy et al is gauge invariant
\begin{equation}
H = -t \sum_{m,n} a_{m+1,n}^\dagger e^{i\phi_{(m+1,n),(m,n)}} a_{m,n}
\end{equation}
which can be seen using the transformation rules above. Incidentally, my particle-y instincts are to think of the above as a discretized version of the fermionic part of the QED lagrangian, $\bar{\psi} i \gamma^\mu D_\mu \psi$, where $D$ is the gauge covariant derivative.
The fact that the hopping Hamiltonian is gauge invariant really means that nothing physical is going to end up depending on the choice of gauge. To the extent that this Hamiltonian describes the system Kennedy et al are measuring, nothing can end up depending on a choice of gauge because the underlying hamlitonian describing all of the dynamics does not. (This could be broken, for example, if (1) the approximation of the full dynamics of the system by this gauge theory breaks down in a way that breaks gauge invariance, or (2) if the way that the experimental apparatus is coupled to the BEC breaks the gauge symmetry. I am assuming both of those don't happen--if they do that is more the fault on the experimental side than the theoretical side, ie it is a boring breaking of gauge invariance).
For example, the  number of particles on each site
\begin{equation}
n_{m,n} = a_{m,n}^\dagger a_{m,n}
\end{equation}
The number of particles is gauge invariant (as you can check from the rules and physically has to be the case since the number of particles is observable).
Both Powell et al and Kennedy et all find it convenient to work in a gauge where the phases only depend on one lattice direction, so
\begin{equation}
\phi_{(m,n),(m',n')} \rightarrow \phi_{m,m'}
\end{equation}
This is a very nice gauge for what they want to do. In particular, the translations in the $y$ direction commute with the Wilson line operators, but translations in $x$ do not. Their basic point is that all gauge fixings will force translation invariance to be broken somehow, so full translation invariance is not a real symmetry of the system.
Now the measurements in Kennedy et al, as far as I can tell, are really done in momentum space (from a theoretical point of view momentum space is nice for this problem because this diagonalizes the Hamiltonian). The momentum space operators are
\begin{equation}
\tilde{a}_{p,q} = \sum_{m,n} e^{i 2\pi (p m+qn) / N} a_{m,n}
\end{equation}
where $N$ is the number of lattice sites.
Things now get complicated because the momentum space operators don't have obviously nice transformation properties under gauge transformations (the gauge transformation of the $\tilde{a}_{p,q}$ will end up being some convolution of the gauge parameters with the real space operators $a_{m,n}$). This is related to the fact that the commutator of the Hamiltonian with the translation operator will be complicated in a general gauge.
So, what I think is going on is that Kennedy et al construct a column density in momentum space, which I am guessing amounts to the probability which you can compute in a given state by $\langle \tilde{a}^\dagger_{p,q}\tilde{a}_{p,q} \rangle$, where the $\tilde{a}_{p,q}$ are defined in the gauge that they describe. One frustrating thing is that I am not 100% sure what specific combination corresponds to the plots they make, so I can't be more explicit about what I'm saying, but conceptually it doesn't matter what precise combination of $\tilde{a}$'s they are plotting.
This does not make the observable gauge dependent, however it does mean that showing the gauge invariance is tricky. There is guaranteed to be some gauge invariant combination of Wilson lines and fermion operators that reduces to the combination that Kennedy et al plot, in the gauge that they pick. One avenue to discover the precise gauge invaraint combination is by guessing--if you find one gauge invariant combination that reduces to their observable, that is the correct one. Another more systematic approach is to take their observable, written in the gauge that they chose, and perform an arbitrary gauge transformation. The result will likely be messy (since the momentum space operators don't have nice transformation properties), but you are guaranteed to be able to write the result in terms of manifestly gauge invariant objects if you do everything correctly (you will probably have to add in gauge transformed combinations of operators that were zero in the original gauge, and the net goal is to cancel out all of the dependence on the gauge parameter).
In other words, once you gauge fix, you can write down any arbitrarily complicated combination you like of the operators you have and you are guaranteed to be talking about gauge invariant quantities, since there's no gauge freedom left. However, finding the manifestly gauge invariant form can be hard.
In the problem that Kennedy et al are considering, there is such a natural choice of gauge that I think they basically want to argue that there's no point in finding the gauge invariant form of what they are measuring--the main pragmatic reason to find a gauge invariant form would be if different groups were using different gauges and needed to compare their answers. The gauge invariant form could be interesting theoretically to get more insight into the system. Based on what Powell says in section II, I think the gauge invariant formulation involves studying the properties of the projective symmetry group of the system. But that would definitely be beyond the scope of an experimental paper.

A: I too am reading up on this. In particular I found this article insightful:
https://www.nature.com/articles/nphys3447

Writing in Nature Physics, Colin Kennedy and collaborators now show that translational symmetry breaking due to a particular gauge choice can be detected in ultracold gases in an optical lattice subject to a synthetic magnetic field1. In such synthetic fields, neutral atoms dressed by external lasers behave as if they are charged particles in a magnetic field. This apparent contradiction with the usual expectation is explained by the fact that in ultracold gases in synthetic magnetic fields, one has access to the gauge-dependent canonical momentum.

and

They used a set of lasers to generate a synthetic field, then suddenly switched the lasers off to map the canonical momentum onto the kinetic momentum without changing its value. This mapping can be understood as a result of a synthetic electric field being generated as the synthetic vector potential is turned off. This synthetic electric field shifts the kinetic momentum to the value of the canonical momentum while the lasers are on. Therefore, by observing the kinetic momentum after the lasers have been turned off, one effectively measures the canonical momentum in the presence of the synthetic magnetic field4.

However how they choose this (any) particular gauge is currently beyond me.

Bickley On The Conspiracy To Deny Steve Nash
Published on 5/6/2007 by GC
The Arizona Republic's Dan Bickley joins in the Dirk-bashing, calling Nowitzki's pending coronation as league MVP, "an embarrassing day for the NBA."
Steve Nash made a big mistake this past season. He dared to tread where legends reside.
He threatened to join Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain and Larry Bird as the only players to win three consecutive MVP awards.
Apparently, that was too much for some voters.
First of all, I think that's B.S.," said Russell, who won his three consecutive MVPs from 1961-63. "The people who didn't vote for him because of that . . . that's manipulating history, OK?"
Oh, it's worse than that. It's a gross abuse of power. And if Nash was jobbed in the MVP voting by media members who deemed the Suns guard unworthy of rare company, it has offended the two living members of that fraternity.
"I think if he's the best, he's the best," said Bird, who won successively from 1984-86. "Everyone always talks about winning championships and stuff like that, but if you're the best player in the league, you should win the award. Steve makes everyone around him better, and that's the sign of a great player. And he's been on a hell of a run here the last few years."

One of the biggest benefits of eating raisins is that they're a quick, easy and tasty way to get some of your daily recommended fruit servings. Women should eat at least 1.5 cups of fruit daily and men should have 2 cups, according to ChooseMyPlate.gov. One small box of raisins, which is 1.5 ounces and holds about 90 raisins, fills one-half cup of your daily fruit requirement, plus it only has 129 calories and no fat. The same portion has 1.3 grams of protein, which gives men 2 percent and women 3 percent of their recommended daily intake.
The 34 grams of carbohydrates in one small box of raisins include 26 grams of sugar for rapid energy. If you use sports chews or other sports products to add carbohydrates and improve performance while you exercise or participate in endurance sports, you can get the same benefit from eating raisins, according to research published in the March 2012 issue of the "Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition." You'll also get 1.6 grams of fiber, which is 4 percent of men's and 6 percent of women's daily intake from just one small box of raisins. About half of the total is soluble fiber that helps lower cholesterol and balance blood sugar.
Eating raisins every day helps you meet your daily requirement for iron. Even though most of the iron in the body carries oxygen in red blood cells, it's also present in every cell in your body because it has so many other jobs. It supports your immune system, helps make amino acids and it's essential for metabolism. Men should consume 8 milligrams and women need 18 milligrams daily, but no one should consume more than 45 milligrams of iron in a day because it can become toxic. You'll get 0.81 milligrams of iron in one small box of raisins, which is 10 percent of men's and 5 percent of women's daily recommended intake.
Potassium is able to carry electrical charges that cause muscle contraction and stimulate nerve impulses. It's especially vital for your heart because potassium regulates the heart beat and also helps lower blood pressure by limiting the effect of sodium. Special structures in your body work constantly to maintain a strict concentration of potassium in the cells. These structures account for about 20 to 40 percent of your resting energy, according to the Linus Pauling Institute. The raisins in a 1.5-ounce box have 322 milligrams or 7 percent of the recommended daily intake of potassium.
Picture the scene, it's a beautiful day, you're at your favourite restaurant about to sit down to a fabulous Sunday lunch, when suddenly all hell breaks loose.
How many times have your meals out been ruined by a toddler tantrum?
I had my first experience of the 'terrible twos' one beautiful Sunday afternoon. We had attended our favourite family restaurant for Sunday lunch. My daughter, Tilly, was sitting between us in her high chair. The menu looked mouth-watering and everything was dandy. Then suddenly the crystal clear wine glasses began to vibrate over the crisp white table linen and knives and forks started to shake. At first I thought it was an earthquake. But it was far worst. Tilly was having a tantrum.
With her tiny little feet she kicked the table from underneath. She then tried to break free from her chair. Then came the screaming, causing all eyes to turn on us. "I want daddy" she screamed. Thinking this would calm her, I took her out of the chair and handed her to daddy. The wailing stopped for exactly six seconds before she once again tried to break free. "I want to get down," she wailed. Threats like "If you don't behave we're going home" fell on deaf ears. By now the tantrum was in full swing.
We were attracting more attention than Joan Collins. I couldn't understand it. She wasn't even two. It wasn't fair. I felt cheated. My daughter was only 22 months. Had she begun the terrible twos early, like some kind of early menopause syndrome?
A bemused waiter came to take our order. "What would you like?" he asked. "Just our coats," I replied. Yes, it was time to leave.
We suffered the terrible twos for quite some time. My daughter did not mind where she had a tantrum. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason to it.
Rather than let it spoil our time, I thought up different ways to deal with the situation so that when a tantrum struck, I was armed and ready. I even gave it a name: 'Tantrum Tamer'. It worked most of the time, which was definitely better than none of the time. More importantly – it got us through. Here's how I coped.
1. Even if my daughter was screaming at the top of her voice and showing no signs of listening, I would get down to her level so we were face to face. I would explain in a low calm voice that I understood that she was feeling upset. I would then say that if we both took a deep breath together we would start to feel better.
2. I soon discovered that if I made things more child friendly and more like a game, I got better results. Hence the name 'Tantrum Tamer'. I would say to my daughter, "Shall we try the Tantrum Tamer?" This consisted of a series of actions, starting with a hug. For me this was twofold. If she was totally running wild I could restrain her. Secondly, children quite often respond to touch.
Next we would breathe deeply. I would ask my daughter to take a deep breath in and then blow out with puffy cheek at least twice. It usually calmed me down, too. I would then tell my daughter the lovely warm feeling in her tummy was the Tantrum Tamer working. It would take a little time but would definitely work faster if sheHow to amuse toddlers in the car sat quietly.
3. I would not only talk calmly to my daughter, but physically look and act calm so that she could see The Tamer was beginning to work. I would smile widely, and say things like "I feel so happy" or "I'm ready for a nice nap". Anything my daughter would respond to.
4. If all of the above failed, I felt it was time for more drastic measures such as taking away a treat. I would say that she would not be able to go to the park until she was better behaved. If you decide to try this, you need to use your judgement on what penalty will work best for you and your child at that moment. The thing to remember is that this is the last warning.
5. Stick to your guns. If things are not better at this stage then you must carry out the penalty. Don't be hoodwinked into giving another chance because this will only come back to bite you next time.
For me the terrible twos were a huge learning curve. Although I feel grateful for the experience, I have to admit that now that it's over, I can breathe a sigh of relief – at least until the teenage years!
