A pickle is a vegetable or fruit, or a com-bination of vegetables and fruit, preserved in spiced vinegar. It is usually served as an accompaniment to cold meat, cheese and meat loaf.
Pickles are easy to make and economical too if you make them when the fruit or vegetables being used are in season. When making pickles, it is important to use only fresh, firm, unblemished fruit and vegetables and good quality vinegar. The saucepan is important too; only stainless steel, aluminium or enamel-coated should be used since the acid in vinegar reacts to metals such as copper and iron.
Pichones en Mole is an unusual dish of squabs with chocolate sauce.
The most suitable containers for pickles are glass preserving jars with vacuum sealed lids. These prevent the pickle from evaporating.
Most pickles will keep for several months.

Invasive Carp
The TWRA needs your help in collecting invasive carp
If you catch an invasive carp anywhere in Tennessee other than the Mississippi River OR If you catch any invasive carp in East Tennessee or other water where invasive carp are not known to be established, the agency is asking that you put it on ice or freeze it and contact them immediately.
If you are unable to keep the fish, the TWRA asks you to take photos of the fish and send the image to us including information on location of capture. You can contact the nearest TWRA office by phone here, or by email at ans.twra@tn.gov.

Known distribution of Silver Carp in Tennessee
Invasive Carp in Tennessee and Management Efforts
There are four species of invasive carp in the United States and in Tennessee. All are from the Yangtze and Amur River systems in China.
They were imported into the United States for various aquaculture purposes back as early as 1970. They were unintentionally introduced into the waters of our country in the late 1980s and early 1990s when they escaped from aquaculture ponds in the delta areas of the Mississippi River during extreme floods.
All four invasive carp species were first found in the Mississippi River, where they are still abundant, and they migrated into Tennessee waters via locks at Kentucky and Barkley dams. Carp are also known to have entered Reelfoot Lake during high flows through its spillway.
All four invasive carp species can affect fish and aquatic life in numerous ways.
Bighead Carp
This species of invasive carp consume microscopic zooplankton. Zooplankton is an important part of the diet for many native fish such as Shad, Buffalo, and Paddlefish. Larval sport fish such as Crappie, Bass, and Bluegill also depend upon zooplankton in their early life stage.
Bighead Carp are problematic because they compete with our native species of fish for food and space. Bighead Carp can grow as large as 100 pounds.
This species is thought to be most abundant in the lower reservoirs of the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers, but a few individuals have been observed as far upstream as Nickajack Reservoir.
Silver Carp
This species of invasive carp eats microscopic algae and zooplankton. They are problematic for the same reasons as mentioned for the Bighead Carp. They compete for food and space with our native species.
In addition, when Silver Carps are startled they have a tendency to leap out of the water and can jump as high as eight feet. Therefore, they are even more problematic because of the potential to injure boaters and recreators.
Silver Carp can grow as large as 60 pounds.
In the Tennessee River, Silver Carp are most abundant in Kentucky Reservoir, with an emerging population in Pickwick Reservoir as well. The most upstream report of Silver Carp on the Tennessee River was a fish leaping into the boat of an angler on Chickamauga Reservoir in October 2019. On the Cumberland River, they have been observed as far upstream as Cordell Hull Dam.
Black Carp
This species of invasive carp eats snails and mussels. It was brought into the U.S. to control snails in commercial catfish ponds. Snails serve as a host for parasitic worms that get into fish flesh thus making catfish meat unappealing. Eliminating the snails eliminates the parasitic worms.
Black Carp are problematic because they could eat the many species of snails and mussels that are native to Tennessee.
A 70-pound Black Carp was caught by a commercial fisherman in the mouth of the Obion River on the Mississippi River in 2012. Until recently Black Carp had only been reported in the Mississippi River. Since 2017 there have been a few documented catches of Black Carp in Barkley and Kentucky reservoirs.
Grass Carp
Grass Carp, also known as White Amur, eat aquatic vegetation. This species was introduced into the U.S. to control excess aquatic vegetation (weeds) in commercial catfish ponds.
Grass Carp are a concern because they eat many types of aquatic vegetation and much of this vegetation provides excellent cover for a variety of sportfish such as Largemouth Bass, Crappie, and Bluegill. Many species of aquatic vegetation also provide food for waterfowl.
Reproductively sterile Grass Carp are commonly used to manage aquatic vegetation in small lakes and are legal to stock in private lakes and ponds as long as they are sterile (triploid). Grass Carp can reach sizes in excess of 80 pounds.
Grass Carp are increasingly a cause of concern because recent testing of Grass Carp in wild populations has revealed that many of these fish are not the sterile variety, and so they can and likely have been reproducing when they get the right conditions.
Why is the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency Concerned About Carp?
The most immediate concern is for the safety of boaters. Silver Carp are known to jump when disturbed by boats. A jumping carp that collides with a passenger in a moving boat can cause serious injury. This scenario is most common in shallower waters and boaters should slowly retreat from areas with jumping carp to avoid impact.
Invasive carp have the capacity to deplete and alter the current food web of the reservoirs that support natural resources, including highly-valued recreational and commercial fisheries. Silver and Bighead Carp are both filter feeders that feed on microscopic plankton. This plankton is a vital food for some species of fish, and young fish of all species. By out-competing native fish for a limited resource, the Silver and Bighead Carp have the ability to reduce the growth rates of native fish or displace them almost completely. The Black Carp pose a risk to Tennessee's diverse and already threatened mussel fauna.
While there is still much concern about large schools of carp in Kentucky and Barkley reservoirs, TWRA biologists report that the abundance of native fish (crappie, shad, bass, etc) are still within the normal range of natural fluctuations. In addition, when a large school of invasive carp moves into an area, they will displace many of the native species in that area. Although the native fish will return when the invasive carp move from the area, fishing patterns will be disrupted while the invasive carp are present.
Invasive Carp Management is a National Effort
Invasive carp are a national problem and control of carp is a national effort. Tennessee representatives actively serve as partners in multiple sub-basins in the Mississippi River where they work collaboratively with other state representatives, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Tennessee Valley Authority, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in those basins to make the best use of the limited federal dollars that are available for carp control. Tennessee is also an active participant in the Mississippi River Interstate Cooperative Resource Association, an organization of 28 states and federal agencies that are working together to lobby for additional carp management funds.

Controlling the Spread of Invasive Carp in Tennessee
It is illegal to move live carp in Tennessee.
TWRA continues to spread the message about carp to reduce the likelihood that someone will accidentally move them as bait. TWRA annually cautions against bait bucket introductions in the annual fishing regulations, "The Angler's Guide to Tennessee Fish" publication, through lake-side signs, fishing shows, and other presentations annually.
Unchecked, invasive carp will eventually use the navigation locks on Tennessee and Cumberland rivers to spread their range upstream. Each time a lock opens and closes fish have an opportunity to move up and down the river.
TWRA and partners identified a need to conduct research on carp movement, especially as it related to lock passage. As a result, TWRA received funding to evaluate the movement of carp in the Tennessee River, including the Mississippi and Alabama sections. This research effort led by Tennessee Tech University started in late 2016, has evolved over time and is ongoing. Over 1,000 carp are tagged with sonic transmitters, and they are being tracked throughout the river system by passive receivers. This research will tell us how and when the carp are using areas of the reservoirs, and it will also be used to evaluate newly-developed technology that could create barriers at locks.
Removal of Invasive Carp
In areas where invasive carp are already established, there is still a need to reduce their numbers. This will reduce their threat to boaters and aquatic resources.
Carp removal is also strategic to controlling the spread of carp because upstream movement is less likely if the population in the current reservoir is not too high. These mechanisms are not fully understood but to be on the safe side TWRA is encouraging carp harvest.
While more high-tech solutions may eventually be developed, commercial fishing is presently the most practical method to reduce the abundance of invasive carp in Tennessee waters. The industry was slow to respond to the market possibilities, but the abundance of invasive carp has now attracted private industry into purchasing and processing invasive carp for consumer use.
Commercial fishing has the ability to remove millions of pounds of carp annually. At the recommendation of the Tennessee General Assembly's Asian Carp Task Force, TWRA funded a $75,000 grant in 2017 to the Paris Henry County Industrial Committee to develop local commercial fishing businesses for carp.
Also, in 2020 TWRA provide a $400,000 grant for wholesale fish dealers enrolled in the Asian Carp Harvest Incentive Program (ACHIP). As a result recipient businesses have increased their interest in the harvest of invasive carp.
Monitoring Carp
TWRA has been intensively monitoring carp for several years. In the early days of their invasion, TWRA first collected invasive carp in the Mississippi River. Later, fisheries staff were responding to sporadic calls about carp in Kentucky Reservoir and Reelfoot Lakes, but in the past five years TWRA Region 1 Fisheries staff have incorporated carp monitoring in their routine samples multiple times each year. Monitoring carp abundance is also an important component of TWRA supported research at TTU. It is critical that we have repeatable methods to monitor the carp abundance so that we can evaluate the success of control and removal strategies.
Carp Spawning
In 2015 invasive carp had a successful spawn somewhere in the Ohio/Tenn/Cumberland system. Details about the production of this cohort are not known. Since 2016 TWRA has been intensively monitoring Kentucky and Barkley reservoirs to determine when and where they are spawning. Such information could prove useful in carp removal efforts. Monitoring efforts include larval trawls, light traps, mini-fyke nets, dozer trawls, and electrofishing occurring from April-Oct. No evidence of successful spawning within the Tennessee or Cumberland rivers has been observed since this monitoring began. Rather, the majority of the fish are suspected to be migrants from the Ohio River.
Sound Barriers for Carp at Locks
Invasive carp are extremely sensitive to sound. Researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have developed techniques to use underwater sound to "scare" fish in controlled settings.
In concept, these sounds would be able to prevent carp from using the locks, while native fish that are less sensitive to sound would continue to use the locks. The next step is to test this theory and that test has begun at Barkley Dam on the Cumberland River in Kentucky with the implementation of the BioAcoustic Fish Fence (BAFF).
Multiple state agencies including TWRA support this effort. This location was chosen because carp are abundant immediately below the dam, so the barrier would be tested repeatedly by the abundant carp. The sonic tagging and tracking work that TWRA is funding will allow this technology to be deployed and evaluated at strategic locations throughout the Tennessee River as well.
Native Fish
TWRA annually monitors the status of gamefish species such as bass and crappie.
They also monitor the abundance of their prey species - gizzard and threadfin shad. In addition to these ongoing efforts, they are also monitoring the condition of gizzard shad to see if they are being impacted by carp. Gizzard shad are thought to be a good indicator species because their diet most directly overlaps with silver and bighead carp. This data will allow biologists to determine the impacts of Invasive carp on population densities and the condition of both important prey and game species.
The agency will continue to post information about invasive carp and efforts to combat the growth and expansion of these fish into our waters. Please keep informed and help spread the word to help stop the spread of invasive carp in Tennessee's lakes and rivers.
Tennessee Carp Harvest Incentive Program
On May 18, 2018, the Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission (TFWC) approved a $500,000 budget request to provide incentives for the commercial harvest of invasive carp in Kentucky, Barkley, Cheatham, and Old Hickory lakes. From the approved funding by the TFWC, the Tennessee Carp Harvest Incentive Program was implemented on Sept. 18, 2018.
Currently, the TCHIP program has enrolled wholesale fish dealers and commercial fishermen. The program assists wholesale fish dealers and commercial fishermen by providing incentives for the harvest and sale of invasive carp.
As of August 31, 2022, the TCHIP program has provided the necessary funds for the removal of over 18.4 million pounds of carp from the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers.
TWRA encourages bow fishers and bow fishing tournaments to consider a carp-only format.
For example, on June 23, 2018, TWRA partnered with the KY Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources to host a carp-only bow fishing tournament. During the 12-hour event, 81 boats harvested 17,000 lbs of invasive carp, predominantly Silver Carp.
Consuming Invasive Carp
Many potential consumers of invasive carp are wary of eating a fish named "carp" that they know little about. To promote carp as food, TWRA serves invasive carp at a few events each year. If more people appreciated carp for its great taste and texture, the agency believes demand should increase along with the price of harvested carp.
This increased value would generate an additional commercial harvest of carp. TWRA has also been working with product labeling consultants to develop carp label standards that would let the buyer know that purchasing that product will help natural resources.

Ford goes virtual to help technicians
Ford South Africa is helping dealers to speed up repairs and get customers back on the road faster with a new high-tech approach to vehicle repairs.
The vehicle manufacturer will be rolling out this new technology to its dealer network this year.
Ford Middle East and Africa service engineering operations director Pieter Verster said Ford needs to keep modernising what it does and how it does things. Verster said part of this plan is the rollout of the new technology to support its technicians in the dealership with an innovative solution that helps expedite the repair and resolution of difficult cases.
"With this technology we can see exactly what the technician sees and guide them during the repair of the vehicle," he said.
The rollout of the new technology follows Ford SA recently conducting a pilot study of the RealWear HMT-1 Hands-free Remote Collaboration Tool, which remotely connects Ford dealership technicians with Ford's Technical Assistance Centre that is staffed by experienced support personnel and field service engineers, allowing them to collaborate on vehicle service issues and repairs.
Using the RealWear remote access headset, a master technician at Ford can assist a local dealer with a repair or service enquiry.
Using the RealWear HMT-1's high-definition camera, flashlight, array of microphones and voice-activated controls, dealership service technicians can safely demonstrate technical issues to the engineer and get immediate real-time support.
Ford engineers can also control the direction of the camera, take photos and notes, and even share screens from service bulletins and wiring diagrams with the technician via the built-in display on the headset, thereby allowing them to remain hands-free while conducting the repairs.
Verster said RealWear represents a significant step forward in better supporting Ford dealers and customers.
"It enables a reduction in vehicle downtime as the dealer no longer has to wait for a field service engineer to be sent out to assist.
"This virtual assistance is available immediately, enabling the technician to repair the vehicle promptly and get it back to the customer without delay, which ensures greater customer satisfaction," he said.
Verster added that from a dealership perspective, this technology leads to increased productivity and a reduction in the repair orders that would go through the dealership.
"The time and travel costs associated with getting a field service engineer to the dealer are eliminated by this technology, particularly in remote locations.
"Our focus is on rolling out the system to our Ford dealers in the major centres in South Africa initially, and having additional units that can be sent to dealers in remote areas when they need assistance," he said.
Verster said Ford is also working on introducing the RealWear tool to remote regions in Sub Saharan Africa and the Middle East to better serve its dealers and customers in these markets.
Ford says while the support will be localised, each call is logged internationally to build a database of regular repair concerns.
The introduction of the RealWear tool and technology complements the recent launch of the Ford Repair Centre concept, which supports Ford dealers in their vicinity should they have a vehicle that is difficult to repair.
However, in these instances, the vehicle is transported to the repair centre where a highly trained technician takes over the case and can rely on the RealWear technology and the direct access to the Technical Assistance Centre hotline, if necessary, to expedite the process.
Verster said that with Ford's fully integrated online technical dealer support, their regional field service engineers can also be called on to provide assistance regardless of where they are in the country, or even around the world.
He added that the system, which is linked to Ford's global IT network, logs each case and builds up a comprehensive database for future reference and fault diagnosis, thereby giving all dealers access to all technical issues encountered and how they were resolved.

Those of you who have not met me may be somewhat surprised to find a young man as the Prime Minister of Hungary. Ten years ago, when democratic changes began to take place in Hungary and Central and Eastern Europe, I was still a student. But spending ten years on the political front line and taking an active part in the transformation of my country has made me feel like a political veteran.
Change is happening so quickly now that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing. The general anticipation of the year 2000 seems to have accelerated events too. This year that precedes 2000, while it is not yet over, has been filled with critical events as well as with landmark anniversaries. In Central and Eastern Europe, much attention has been focused on the tenth anniversary of the fall of Communism and the beginning of democratic changes. In Hungary, in June, we commemorated the tenth anniversary of the reburial of the late Prime Minister Imre Nagy, a martyr of the 1956 Hungarian uprising that was crushed by Soviet tanks. We have also recognized the many achievements of these last ten years: the transition from Communism to a market-based democracy and the rule of law; integration into Western structures; NATO membership; and fast-track accession talks that will lead to full-fledged membership in the European Union within a few years. It is quite a dazzling record.
At the first NATO Workshop that was held in Budapest—the first ever held in a former Soviet-bloc country, in 1993—one of the principal issues we discussed was the war in the Former Yugoslavia. Isn't it ironic that when we last met here in Budapest we had the very same issue on our plate? What was Bosnia then is Kosovo today. There seems to be a tragic continuity in our agenda.
However, there is a difference, and it is not the fact that the conflict has shifted a few hundred kilometers to the southeast. The most important difference lies in the lessons that the international community has learned since 1993. This is what I would like to talk to you about today: first, about the lessons we learned in general; second, about Vojvodina; and third, about the lessons we learned that are specific to Hungary.
While there is peace in Yugoslavia, it is often overshadowed by the reality we policy makers have learned: Every success is a doorway to another problem. One of the key post-Kosovo tasks we have is how to prevent further similar crises.
I am sure that all of us at this Workshop have been thinking seriously about the lessons the Kosovo conflict has for us regarding the future of Southeastern Europe, NATO, and the whole of Europe. We in Hungary have certainly been doing this. Some of the lessons we have pinpointed may be the same as those you have determined, but we need to underline them to help us develop an effective strategy to keep them from reoccurring.
Henry Kissinger recently wrote in Foreign Affairs, "To be effective, a strategic assessment needs to be translated into an operating policy." We are currently making assessments, but we must bear in mind that it is our responsibility to work out a policy for the long term. The following eight lessons are those that we in Hungary see as essential for a long-term solution to the southern-Slav crisis.
A former U.S. president said: "There are risks and costs to a program of action, but they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction." I believe that what happened in Kosovo was hardly a surprise for most people who know the Balkans. We knew for three or four years that it was going to be impossible to stabilize the Balkans with the Milosevic regime in Belgrade in power. After all, the Kosovo conflict was Yugoslavia's fourth war and third genocide. We have learned from this series of wars and genocide that the more belated the response by the international community, the greater the human tragedy that unfolds in front of our eyes.
We now have the hope that the military outcome will put an end to the violence and suffering for Kosovars. However, we must be cautious not to have too much trust too soon: Yugoslavia must be verifiably consistent in implementing all the conditions set out by the international community before we can say that peace does have a chance. Deals done with Milosevic generally were not deals for once and for all. Constant and regular verification of the current settlement will be key to long-term success in the Balkans.
In order to deal with Kosovo's reconstruction, a number of international organizations must be involved. United Nations agencies will probably have to handle the issue of humanitarian aid; the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe will probably have to focus on democracy-training and institution-building; and the European Union will have to concentrate its resources on the reconstruction of homes, roads, and bridges. For all of these international organizations to be effective, they will need good infrastructures, geographical proximity, and insight into the region, along with reliable allies. I can tell you that Budapest is the city that can meet these needs.
If the Balkan settlement is to be long-term, it cannot address only the crisis area, but must provide a comprehensive solution for the entire region. This lesson learned stems from our experience in Bosnia. Now that the Kosovo crisis has ended, we have the momentum to work out a settlement that will prevent similar crises or conflicts in the entire Southeastern Europe region.
If the international community develops a structure that is alien to a region and the people living there, no matter how much effort is invested, it will not take root. Take Dayton. The international community developed a scheme that seemed quite logical, and serious effort and resources were put into implementing it. Millions of dollars have been spent on maintaining it. Yet, many months after the peace agreement on Bosnia was accepted, people who used to live there are still reluctant to return to their homes. The crisis in Southeastern Europe and Kosovo was even more lamentable because it occurred at a time when all other regions in Europe were pursuing integration. Integration in Southeastern Europe is not only lagging behind but it has not even started. Reconstruction will need to gear up the region for integration.
I believe that a key player in stabilizing the entire region and in starting the integration process is Croatia. Croatia's cooperation is necessary for lasting stability and prosperity in the area. A positive sign of Croatia's zeal for integration and cooperation with the West has been the country's prompt offer to support the objectives of the international community.
Kosovo made it clear that there is European agreement regarding the respecting of certain moral and legal norms. Over the past ten years, we talked a great deal about the values we share in Europe and within the international community of democracies. Resolving the Kosovo conflict was a major step toward Europe's complete unification concerning its values.
In the wake of the Kosovo crisis, the European Union has shown that it needs to draw certain conclusions in order to prevent and handle future crises. This has been reflected by its decision to create an independent European foreign policy and defense strategy to prepare the EU's own crisis management program. Hungary, as a member of NATO, supports the efforts to create a European Defense Identity. We are convinced that Europe must be prepared to handle on its own any crisis that may arise on our continent, both politically and militarily.
Security and foreign policy experts know that there are 350,000 ethnic Hungarians living in Vojvodina, and as Hungarian Prime Minister I would like to touch upon this issue.
Because of the events triggered by the Belgrade regime, it was possible that the 350,000-strong Hungarian minority living in Vojvodina might be the next target. Hungary had a special concern for this population's fate throughout the conflict, and our government's position was clear. Vojvodina Hungarians have now developed their own plans for their own future and have described their concept of autonomy. Through elections they wish to set up a Hungarian National Council that would provide them with the safeguards necessary to prevent a conflict from erupting in Vojvodina. Their concept makes Hungarians in Vojvodina shareholders of peace in the region.
The momentum to introduce this plan is strong because, after the crisis in Bosnia, 250,000 Serbs moved to Vojvodina. This changed the ethnic composition of the region to the disadvantage of ethnic Hungarians, and, following Kosovo, we can expect yet another flood of Serbs into Vojvodina, which would further upset the ethnic balance.
Why, you may ask, has there been no armed conflict in Vojvodina? Some believe that it is primarily because the Serbs did not want to use violence there. But I am convinced that the attitude of the ethnic Hungarians played just as important a role. If you take a closer look at the way Hungarian minorities in the region have sought to enforce their interests, you will see that they have constantly and consistently used only constitutional and legal instruments.
However, we cannot forget that the violation of the rights of ethnic groups and minorities has been a major cause of all the conflicts in the region. It therefore goes without saying that preserving minority rights must be treated as a priority. The protection of minority rights in Vojvodina must enjoy a special place in the settlement of the crisis, and, more specifically, in the Stability Pact's implementation document.
Last but not least, let me address what we could call "Hungary-specific concerns" in the aftermath of the Kosovo conflict. As a result of the policy pursued by the Belgrade regime, bombings and sanctions have knocked Yugoslavia back decades. With an economy that has regressed to the level of a Third-World nation but positioned next to a region that is increasingly prosperous and integrated, what can Hungary expect? Furthermore, what can we expect and what do we have to prepare for when we see Hungary, which is developing dynamically, neighboring war-torn Yugoslavia?
Now, after the conflict in Kosovo, such questions arise in quite a different light. The issue is not the need for, but rather the concrete role of, the Alliance in maintaining security and stability in the region, in Europe and the world. Countries of Central Europe are now active participants in shaping common security. Hungary would like to see an increasing number of Central and East European countries involved in this work. The closer we cooperate, through such structures as NATO and the European Union, the more chances we have to build a stable and prosperous Europe.
To that end, however, we need countries that are stable themselves. NATO's Madrid summit as well as the Washington Summit resolved to continue the Alliance's open door policy. The Kosovo crisis gave yet another reason for the need to cooperate with Slovakia, Romania, and Bulgaria in NATO's efforts.
On the threshold of a new millenium we are at a moment which the twentieth century has seen the like of only a few times. We are after some truly significant events: NATO's enlargement, the EU's Cologne summit, the end of military conflict. These give us hope also for an overall settlement in Southeast Europe. This is a moment in history when the future does seem shapable. Decisions to be made now may remarkably shape our future. We only have to come to grips with the lessons we have recently learnt.
I have much trust that now, based on our common experience, the lessons can be added up and long-term success can be achieved. The tasks ahead of us for the years to come are not minor: they are NATO's enlargement, the development of a common European security and foreign policy, as well as securing peace in the whole of Southeast Europe through consolidation. To make this hard-won peace a lasting one instead of a short intermezzo between the successive waves of atrocities, we must invest into it. We can call this the best investment in Europe these days.
I am confident that the result will not fail to come. It is my strong belief that the next century will justify our new optimism in a happier and more prosperous future for us all.

VIRUS TODAY: Americans travel as Biden addresses nation
Here's what's happening Wednesday with the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S.:
— Millions of Americans are traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday despite warnings from health officials that family gatherings could make a bad situation worse.
— More people are applying for unemployment benefits as the economy remains burdened by the coronavirus. About 778,000 people applied for unemployment last week, the second straight week the number has risen.
— Authorities are desperately pleading with people to stay home for the holidays and dramatically increasing fines for businesses that break the rules. In Connecticut, Gov. Ned Lamont says he will fine businesses $10,000 for violating virus restrictions.
THE NUMBERS: COVID-19 deaths have been shooting up all week. The average number per day is now over 1,600. The country is averaging 174,000 new cases of the virus per day.
QUOTABLE: "I don't want to be South Dakota." — West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice in saying he would not follow the lead of other Republican governors who resist mask mandates. He cited the grim statistics in South Dakota and the governor's refusal to require masks.
ICYMI: The virus has scuttled a long-standing holiday tradition in the tiny Kansas town of Norcatur. In a decades-old tradition that evokes Norman Rockwell nostalgia, the whole town gathers for a potluck dinner at Christmastime and conducts a prize drawing for a plethora of donated meats, crafts and goodies. This year, it's off.
ON THE HORIZON: President-elect Joe Biden is ramping up his response to the pandemic. He i s delivering a national Thanksgiving address in an attempt to unify the country in the face of the resurgent virus, and congressional leaders are waiting for his strategy for fighting the pandemic.

WH Tells Impeachment Inquisitors, You Are Violating 'Fundamental Fairness' and 'Due Process'
By Susan Jones | October 9, 2019 | 6:00am EDT
(Photo of White House by Alex Wong/Getty Images)
(CNSNews.com) - In a letter to House Democrats on Tuesday, White House Counsel Pat Cipollone explained why President Trump and his administration will not cooperate with "legally unsupported demands" issued by those conducting the "impeachment inquiry."
"As you know, you have designed and implemented your inquiry in a manner that violates fundamental fairness and constitutionally mandated due process," Cipollone wrote:
For example, you have denied the President the right to cross-examine witnesses, to call witnesses, to receive transcripts of testimony, to have access to evidence, to have counsel present, and many other basic rights guaranteed to all Americans.
You have conducted your proceedings in secret. You have violated civil liberties and the separation of powers by threatening Executive Branch officials, claiming that you will seek to punish those who exercise fundamental constitutional rights and prerogatives.
All of this violates the Constitution, the rule of law, and eve1y past precedent. Never before in our history has the House of Representatives -- under the control of either political party -- taken the American people down the dangerous path you seem determined to pursue. Put simply, you seek to overturn the results of the 2016 election and deprive the American people of the President they have freely chosen.
Many Democrats now apparently view impeachment not only as a means to undo the democratic results of the last election, but as a strategy to influence the next election, which is barely more than a year away. As one member of Congress explained, he is "concerned that ifwe don't impeach the President, he will get reelected." Your highly partisan and unconstitutional effort threatens grave and lasting damage to our democratic institutions, to our system of free elections, and to the American people.
The letter notes that President Trump voluntarily released a summary of his phone call with the Ukraine president in the interests of transparency. And it notes that intelligence committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) not only made up a false version of what Trump said in the call -- and read the fake version in public; he also did not disclose that his staff had contact with the whistleblower before the complaint was lodged.
"In any event, the American people understand that Chairman Schiff cannot covertly assist with the submission of a complaint, mislead the public about his involvement, read a counterfeit version of the call to the American people, and then pretend to sit in judgment as a neutral 'investigator,'" Cipollone said.
"For these reasons, President Trump and his Administration reject your baseless, unconstitutional efforts to overturn the democratic process. Your unprecedented actions have left the President with no choice."
Schiff on Tuesday threatened to add "obstruction" to the case against President Trump because, at the last minute, the White House prevented U.S. Ambassador to the E.U. Gordon Sondland from voluntarily testifying before Schiff's committee.
However, as Cipollone noted, witnesses have the right to refuse invitations from Congress, and they also have the right to go to court to challenge a congressional subpoena, if one is issued, as happened on Tuesday in Sondland's case. Refusing a court order to appear would constitute obstruction.
Cipollone's letter goes on for eight pages, and at one point, it quotes Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), now the Judiciary Committee chairman, as saying during the Clinton impeachment in 1998:
The effect of impeachment is to overturn the popular will of the voters. We must not overturn an election and remove a President from office except to defend our system of government or our constitutional liberties against a dire threat, and we must not do so without an overwhelming consensus of the American people. There must never be a narrowly voted impeachment or an impeachment supported by one of our major political parties and opposed by another. Such an impeachment will produce divisiveness and bitterness in our politics for years to come, and will call into question the very legitimacy of our political institutions.
You can read the full letter here.
Appearing Fox News with Laura Ingraham Tuesday night, Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani called Cipollone's letter "brilliant."
"Of course due process is necessary. Fairness -- let's call it basic fairness," Giuliani said. "The American people, when they think about this, are going to be totally outraged, they actually want to impeach him on the testimony of hidden witnesses who are behind a curtain. We don't know who they are."
President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani (Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images)
Giuliani noted that even during the Salem witch trials, the accusers were required to face the accused. The witches "had more rights" than Democrats want to give Trump, Giuliani said.
Giuliani also pointed to the rule of law: "It's very easy to give somebody rights who you like. The real question about whether you're really dedicated to the law is when you give someone you dislike those rights. And American liberals used to be very, very proud of that."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement in response to Cipollone's letter:
For a while, the President has tried to normalize lawlessness. Now, he is trying to make lawlessness a virtue. The American people have already heard the President's own words – 'do us a favor, though.'
The President's actions threaten our national security, violate our Constitution and undermine the integrity of our elections. The White House letter is only the latest attempt to cover up his betrayal of our democracy, and to insist that the President is above the law.
"This letter is manifestly wrong, and is simply another unlawful attempt to hide the facts of the Trump Administration's brazen efforts to pressure foreign powers to intervene in the 2020 elections. Despite the White House's stonewalling, we see a growing body of evidence that shows that President Trump abused his office and violated his oath to 'protect, preserve and defend the Constitution.'
The White House should be warned that continued efforts to hide the truth of the President's abuse of power from the American people will be regarded as further evidence of obstruction.
Mr. President, you are not above the law. You will be held accountable.
However, Pelosi continues to resist a formal vote on impeachment proceedings, which would give Republicans more rights than they have as the minority in regular committee hearings.

These Sport Hijabs Are Game-Changers For Muslim Athletes
Fatimah Hussein grew up playing sports, but often found that there weren't active-wear options for conservative athletes. It's an issue that's been addressed before-- Ibtihaj Muhammad, the first American athlete to compete in the Olympics while wearing a hijab-- found that fencing was one of the few sports for which the uniforms were modest enough for her to participate.
Seeking to fix this problem so that more Muslim girls can play the sports they love while remaining covered, Hussein partnered with her friend Jamie Glover and created a line of sport hijabs. "As the girls gained self-confidence and a love of sports, they wanted athletic uniforms that let them be active while upholding their religious and cultural beliefs," Glover said to Refinery29.
The duo started a Kickstarter campaign, and as of today, they've raised over $38,000-- well over their initial fundraising goal. "Our mission is to enable physical activity and sports participation among Muslim girls and women," Glover said. "We believe that clothing can represent your beliefs and who you are as a person, and that clothing should enable your endeavors — not be a barrier," said Glover.
The hijabs will be priced between $30 and $40, and will come in two sizes-- child and adult. There will be three styles, and each is available in a range of neutral colors.
The line is called Asiya, the inspiration for which is explained on their Indie Gogo page: "Our brand name ASIYA (AH-see-ah) was selected because it's the name of a highly revered woman from Islamic history, Asiya bint Muzahim, who is known for being courageous and standing up against injustice. We thought she was the ideal role model and champion for our cause."
You can learn more about this inspiring product here, and pre-order a hijab, too.

Simulating quantum–optical phenomena with cold atoms in optical lattices

New J. Phys. 13 023024 (2011)
doi:10.1088/1367-2630/13/2/023024
We propose a scheme involving cold atoms trapped in optical lattices to observe different phenomena traditionally linked to quantum-optical systems. The basic idea consists of connecting the trapped atomic state to a non-trapped state through a Raman scheme. The coupling between these two types of atoms (trapped and free) turns out to be similar to that describing light–matter interaction within the rotating-wave approximation, the role of matter and photons being played by the trapped and free atoms, respectively.
Quantum computing implementations with neutral particles

From the issue entitled "Special Issue on Neutral Particles".
http://www.springerlink.com/content/m023715j37ug64lr/
We review quantum information processing with cold neutral particles, that is, atoms or polar molecules. First, we analyze the best suited degrees of freedom of these particles for storing quantum information, and then we discuss both single- and two-qubit gate implementations. We focus our discussion mainly on collisional quantum gates, which are best suited for atom-chip-like devices, as well as on gate proposals conceived for optical lattices.

A universal quantum simulator is a controlled quantum device that reproduces the dynamics of any other many-particle quantum system with short-range interactions. This dynamics can refer to both coherent Hamiltonian and dissipative open-system evolution. Here we propose that laser-excited Rydberg atoms in large-spacing optical or magnetic lattices provide an efficient implementation of a universal quantum simulator for spin models involving n-body interactions, including such of higher order.

State-dependent lattices for quantum computing with alkaline-earth metal atoms

Recent experimental progress with Alkaline-Earth atoms has opened the door to quantum computing schemes in which qubits are encoded in long-lived nuclear spin states, and the metastable electronic states of these species are used for manipulation and readout of the qubits. Here we discuss a variant of these schemes, in which gate operations are performed in nuclear-spin-dependent optical lattices, formed by near-resonant coupling to the metastable excited state. This provides an alternative to a previous scheme [A. J. Daley, M. M. Boyd, J. Ye, and P. Zoller, Phys. Rev.

Ultracold atoms in optical lattices provide a versatile tool with which to investigate fundamental properties of quantum many-body systems. In particular, the high degree of control of experimental parameters has allowed the study of many interesting phenomena, such as quantum phase transitions and quantum spin dynamics. Here we demonstrate how such control can be implemented at the most fundamental level of a single spin at a specific site of an optical lattice.

We study two many-body systems of bosons interacting via an infinite three-body contact repulsion in a lattice: a pairs quasicondensate induced by correlated hopping and the discrete version of the Pfaffian wave function. We propose to experimentally realize systems characterized by such interaction by means of a proper spin-1 lattice Hamiltonian: spin degrees of freedom are locally mapped into occupation numbers of emerging bosons, in a fashion similar to spin-1/2 and hardcore bosons. Such a system can be realized with ultracold spin-1 atoms in a Mott insulator with a filling factor of 1.
Bose-Hubbard model with occupation dependent parameters
O. Dutta, A. Eckardt, P. Hauke, B. Malomed, M. Lewenstein
We study the ground-state properties of ultracold bosons in an optical lattice in the regime of strong interactions. The system is described by a non-standard Bose-Hubbard model with both occupation-dependent tunneling and on-site interaction parameters. We find that for sufficiently strong coupling, the system features a phase-transition from a Mott insulator with one particle per site to a superfluid of spatially extended particle pairs living on top of the Mott background.

Which simple bathroom improvement could speed up and improve our hygiene?
Humankind has always been working on the improvement of our health, discovering over the centuries different viruses that can hurt us, the good and the bad bacteria in our bodies, and inventing more and more evolved medicine to treat almost any condition, from the plain cold to the most serious forms of cancer.
The logical thing to include is that we come up with better solutions to improve our health year after year. However, despite the numerous advancements over the years in the field of health and personal hygiene, we managed to go backward! How is it possible?
Well, the truth is: the best method for proper personal hygiene and relieving some health conditions was invented centuries ago, and yet, we opted for a much less satisfying solution in this day and age, using it for decades now.
Do you want to know what great bathroom improvement has been at our disposal for centuries and we willfully chose to ignore it and went for the worse alternative? It's the bidet!
The short history of the bidet
Historians believe the bidet first appeared in France, at some point in the late 17th century, even though the first appearances of the bidet in writing were in the early 18th century. It was the time when people generally used to have a bath only once a week, but they really took care of their private parts. They used the bidet to wash their genitals, anus, but also inner buttocks and legs. The way for them to properly use it was to "ride" it, so the name itself has a lot more sense now – in French, "bidet" means "pony", which is exactly what it looked like when people were washing their private parts – like they were riding a pony.
In the beginning, a bidet was placed in the bedroom only, as French people thought it to be civilized to properly clean their privates before having sex. It could only be found in rich and noble French homes and palaces back then. It actually remained a necessity in the bedroom only until the early 20th century. Thanks to the development of the plumbing system in the late 19th century, the bidet could finally be placed in the bathroom, in the form of a porcelain bowl. From then on, it has gone through several changes before it ended up looking the way it does today in modern bathrooms. Of course, it also got easier to use over the centuries. The French had to squat in an awkward position to wash their privates but today it's possible to sit comfortably and adjust the water pressure, as well as the temperature.
The misconceptions in some part of the world
The bidet has spread through Europe over the course of centuries, so it's no wonder that you almost can't find a European bathroom without a bidet in it. It can be found in European households as well as in European hotels. It is also an essential part of the bathroom in many Asian countries, too.
The funny fact is that the USA is one of the biggest manufacturers of bidets in the world, even though the majority of Americans only saw bidets on films or when visiting Europe. The majority of American bidets are exported to the Asian market, mostly Chinese. The American market still hasn't felt the need for bidets. The reason behind this is the misconceptions that American people have about the bidet. They think of the bidet as a highly unhygienic way to wash their private parts, to begin with. Using just water seems repulsive to them and completely ineffective. Furthermore, they believe it's difficult to use and that it also costs a lot, including the installation and the water it uses. Australia and Canada, among some other developed countries, are also pretty much in agreement with Americans in this matter. They are completely in the wrong.
The incredible benefits for personal hygiene and health
Let's start with the obvious – bidets that today they come in different sizes and with various features. If you browse for bidets online, you'll see how many designs there are out there. Some designs even come with a cloth that serves as a wipe to use after washing. Some of them come with taps that pour warm water into a basin that can be plugged, while others have a nozzle pointed upwards, which helps you wash your genitals more easily. Japanese and Korean manufacturers even introduced electrical bidets that have been modified into toilet seats with automated nozzles.
The fact that with a bidet you only need to use a stream of water means that, first of all, there is no need to use toilet paper. Some may think it's not hygienic but, actually, toilet paper never removes all the debris. You skin will be completely clean after using a bidet, which never happens with the toilet paper. What's more, toilet paper can be too harsh for the sensitive skin around the anus, which can lead to rash and irritation. Bearing in mind that toilet paper contains chemicals and artificial fragrances, it's clear why it's the less healthy choice.
Furthermore, people who suffer from hemorrhoids and other bowel-related problems will find the bidet perfect for relieving the pain and discomfort. Also, as you have free hands when using a bidet, elderly people and the disabled will also be able to maintain personal hygiene on their own.
It should be clear by now that the future of our personal hygiene is hidden in the past. Doctors around the world are starting to realize the advantages of the bidet for our health, and there is no reason why you shouldn't turn to it as a necessity in your bathroom. Embrace the better alternative.

This is very nice and useful article. Thanks for this post click here for more information.
Good news on your DH! What a relief! I have a precocious grandson, too. He once "helped" with table seating arrangements, saying "Beth" can sit here -- much to the amusement of everyone who had no idea he knew my name -- or why he was choosing to use it then!
That decluttering challenge sounds intriguing. I watched Tidying Up on Netflix and now have even more urges to organize and declutter all the things. I've already set up my master closet (after 3 years) and refolded DH's sweats drawer and my leggings drawer, so that everything actually fits. All of our paperwork is also in piles in the office waiting for me to create the folders and actually file everything.
Very good news on your DH as well as your mom on the health front.
I will have to check out the Netflix Tidying Up and your decluttering makes me want to join the challenge too.

What is XML Programming?
XML stands for Extensible Markup Language. An extensible language extends aspects of a computer language for customization, and a markup language is used to organize and format text. XML, then, makes information more adaptable so that content can translate across diverse platforms. XML is open standard material and is free to use. Continue reading to learn more about XML programming. Schools offering Computer Programming degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
XML Programming Defined
XML is a kind of trade language by which data can be transferred from various information systems. It is different from the popular HTML markup language in that XML is used for the transfer and storage of data, whereas HTML is used for the display of data. XML does not itself transport the data, but organizes and stores it in a commonly-recognized way. Users can read the language directly, and computers also understand it. XML is commonly used in RSS feeds, content management systems, and web services.
Important Facts About XML Programming
Where to Learn XML XML developer certificates available from colleges and organizations; online tutorials available as well
Advantages Instruction is flexible, independent, and customizable
Possible Careers Web developer, application programmer, database designer
Median Salary (2018) $69,430 (for all web developers)
Job Outlook (2016-2026) 15% growth (for all web developers)
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
XML Programming Specifics
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds allow you to subscribe to a website's content so that you can view highlights and updates to the website in a summarized form without actually visiting the website. These feeds use the Resource Description Framework to write information from websites in XML-based languages.
XML is commonly used in content management systems because it allows companies to keep data in a central location. When a company wants content to be submitted to and distributed from a central content management system, XML ensures that all data can easily flow in and out of various media forms and websites.
There are several XML web services, including SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI. SOAP stands for Simple Object Access Protocol, and it is used for transferring services online. WSDL is an acronym for Web Services Description Language. UDDI, or Universal Discovery Description and Integration, is an online directory of XML pages that describe web services.

Hollywood Homicide Uncovered is American Drama TV series. Created by Chantal Jackson. Produced by Breakthrough Entertainment. Stars: Scott Michaels, Paige Locke, Virgil Howarth. It first aired on Sep 10, 2016, on REELZ. IMDb's user rating for the series is 7.8 *.


Let me 1st describe my intent here. I am trying to jot down a mechanism to call web services from OBIEE without the need to change the repository. In one of my previous posts, we have seen the mechanism to invoke web services from a PL SQL function, but calling a PL SQL function will entail a change in the repository to accommodate it. Changing the repository for this purpose is obviously not a good idea because repository is exclusively meant for metadata.
The code in this article helps us call a web service from java script which gives us a lot of flexibility because java script can easily be invoked from a lot of places like the narrative view, dashboard etc.
Following are a few obvious uses of this approach and I am sure you can list more.
1. Trigger a BPEL work flow when the user clicks on certain link.
2. Perform actions in other applications which are related to some action taken by the user in OBIEE.
3. Invoke custom web services, created in BPEL. These custom BPEL web services can easily do all kinds of operations like fetching something from the data base and reading something from a file using file adapters.
I have not put an example for file adapters but using file adapters in BPEL is as easy as using database adapters.
Again JMS adapter and Java web service adapter can help us integrate OBIEE with java code.
This mechanism only works within the domain. If you put this code outside the OBIEE server, this piece of code will not work unless a parameter called Access-Control-Allow-Origin is set to accept the web service requests. By default OC4J does not accept cross domain requests, and unfortunately I could not find the place in OC4J where this parameter could be set. I will be on the lookout for this and will let you know when I find a solution.
There are a number of claims about a work around to this problem using Jquery+JSONP. Somehow it didn't work for me and I will have to continue my work on this. Again I fail to understand, how JSONP can make a request when the server is not ready to accept it.
There is one possible cheap solution to this problem.
This solution is cheap because it screws your cross domain security. The best method will be to find Access-Control-Allow-Origin parameter and set it to accept requests from the domain from which you intend to send them.
We are invoking getFolderContents function of the PublicReportService and I have hardcoded the name of a folder in my soap envelope. It is easy to change these values dynamically depending on the link the user clicks, using the narrative view.
If the Access-Control-Allow-Origin parameter was set then it would have appeared in the response headers in the screenshot below.
Did you managed to get entry for cross domain access?
It would be good if you can post the steps to call OBIEE report through web service like you did for iBotservice.
There is no much content available on web services in BI.

By mdangeard, published at 26 July 2008 - 12:15am, last updated 10 years 38 weeks ago.
One interesting point to me clearly is the issue of randomness. And since I am a fan of management by statistics (and you should too if you have read "Out of the crisis" from Deming ), I am wondering whether it can be the base for a new system.
So now and given that we have no control (and twitter, and the web in general with its information overflow is what we are getting), but that even with things beyond our control we can get what we want, would it be possible that twitter is actually a great tool? Should we embrace chaos? As I am on Twitter (http://twitter.com/mdangear), and knowing I cannot read it all, should I spend the time even looking? What's in for me?
One interesting option is that chaos is the system in itself, and therefore when using Twitter I am just formalizing what happens in the real world anyway, similar to LinkedIn formalizing relationships that were established through networking before, and making an existing mechanism more fluid and more efficient.
If this is the case, all I have to do is follow as many people as possible, and hope that many will follow me. And then I will keep throwing tweet-bottles in the ocean, trusting that the ocean will throw back answers when I need it. Statistically the system could work given enough users... or not ?

Q: webflux netty with or without hyperthreading I created simple Webflux (kotlin) app with reactive mongo. Controller has one GET method which is return Flow (2 objects from one collection).
I used Apache Benchmark and I noticed one thing:
I have i7 10700 (8+8 cores). If I set System.setProperty("reactor.netty.ioWorkerCount", "8"), performance increases. With 16 netty-nio threads AB shows ~4800 requests per second and one request time takes about 7-9 ms. With 8 netty-nio threads AB shows ~5500 requests per second and 3-5 ms per request.
Is it worth in future in real project use only physical cores? Does hyper-threading have advantages in other situations?

A: Hyperthreading and thread count is a delicate thing, and often very difficult to reason about in a given setting. So rather than taking a blanket rule to turn it on or off, it's always worth benchmarking your specific setup to see what works best IMHO.
That being said, I'm not overly surprised that it hampered, rather than helped performance in this case. Hyperthreading won't give your processor any more real processing power, it just enables unused parts of the core to be used simultaneously on another thread. If your event loop is just chugging away doing the same work constantly, it's therefore likely to not make a great deal of difference (as the same parts of the cores are being used for each thread) - and as you note, has a chance to hamper performance because of the increased context switching overhead happening with more worker threads.
If you had an application that could feasibly do meaningfully different work with each request that came in however - that could be a different story, hence the sense in always benchmarking your specific case to make sure.
