It was a medley of different opera areas - but still lovely. The tenor with the huge peppergrider started off with a classical to the tune of "Women are fickle". Looks like it was all created/sponsored by a pasta manufacturer.

Thank you Sgt. Mom. It is an ad for some Italian food line; the 'Would you like to so more?' page had something about this trick in a grocery store, I think.
The kids were genuine - recently helped with a fire safety deal with kids that age. Talker would go on about fire safety while I quietly and quickly dressed in full PPE w/ SBA. Kids watching would gawk, kids listening would notice and gape. Its great fun for all.
FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 21, 2015 - Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) successfully completed the maiden flight of the F-16V, the latest and most advanced F-16 on the market today. The October 16 flight marks the first time an F-16 has flown with Northrop Grumman's advanced APG-83 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR), which will deliver a quantum leap in capability for the venerable F-16.
The F-16V "Viper" advanced avionics configuration also includes a new cockpit Center Pedestal Display, a modernized mission computer, a high-capacity Ethernet data bus, and several other missions systems enhancements that collectively add significant combat capabilities to address the dynamic threat environments emerging in the coming decades.
"This flight marks a historic milestone in the evolution of the F-16," said Rod McLean, vice president and general manager of Lockheed Martin's F-16/F-22 Integrated Fighter Group. "The new F-16V configuration includes numerous enhancements designed to keep the F-16 at the forefront of international security, strengthening its position as the world's foremost combat-proven 4th Generation fighter aircraft."
The F-16V, an option for both new production F-16s and F-16 upgrades, is the next generation configuration that leverages a common worldwide sustainment infrastructure and provides significant capability improvements to the world's most affordable, combat-proven multi-role fighter. The AN/APG-83 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar is the interesting part. A phased array radar in a small, efficient package. Wowser.
Northrop Grumman's APG-83 SABR AESA fire control radar provides 5th Generation air-to-air and air-to-ground radar capability. Northrop Grumman also provides AESA radars for the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II.
With more than 4,550 F-16s delivered to date, the F-16V is a natural step in the evolution of the world's most successful 4th Generation fighter.

Side lobes can be "blanked" (see Bose noise canceling headphones) or better yet, used ....

I recall a Russian jet challenging an American Aegis destroyer a while back. This must be what they were talking about when they were saying they probably burned out all the radars on the ship.

"High ratio of migrant students"? Did the killer target migrant students specifically? If so I couldn't find that in the article.
"He had 'expressed extreme-right wing sympathies' on social media?" What kind of sympathies? Anti immigration sympathies? Perhaps that would be more enlightening than just right-wing which could mean a lot of thing.
"The MailOnline understands the killer to be Anton Lundin-Petterson." You don't know? They killed the guy, how hard is it to get a name?
safe to say this kid was an outsider in his own country, mistreated and discriminated against his whole life for being white. mocked, teased, bullied, and had no support from the liberal left

However, Swedish news agency TT and daily Expressen reported that he had a YouTube account where he posted material glorifying Hitler and Nazi Germany and critical of Islam and immigration to Sweden.
