NFL fumbled Patriots' COVID-19 situation
Mark Daniels
The Providence Journal
Welcome to 2020, where everything feels different and not much makes sense.
It would have been naive for any of us to think that COVID-19 wouldn't affect the NFL. As we saw with MLB, playing a sport outside of a bubble brings a laundry list of challenges. In addition to the fact that the players are actually tackling each other in this sport, the NFL is dealing with large rosters and staff for their 32 teams.
After three weeks of running smoothly, the Patriots ran into troubling scenarios. A week after the Tennessee Titans had an outbreak, which saw 23 total people test positive for the coronavirus, the Patriots saw quarterback Cam Newton test positive nearly two days before a game. That unleashed an avalanche of problems in New England.
The NFL and the Patriots were forced to shuffle schedules and knock players off their normal routines to try to get a handle on the virus that has infected around 7.75 million people in the United States.
The NFL, however, failed to account for the incubation period of the virus and unnecessarily put the Patriots at risk.
In many ways, it didn't seem safe for the Patriots to travel to Kansas City for a game last week. First, the team had to fly to Missouri the morning of the game. They not only played with a backup quarterback, who didn't get a single practice rep as the starter, but the players did so with another teammate who later was diagnosed with COVID-19.
No one knew that Stephon Gilmore had the coronavirus. According to multiple reports, the Patriots cornerback had dinner with Newton on Friday, Oct. 2. That was just before anyone learned of Newton's positive test. The NFL allowed Gilmore to play because he tested negative on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. When you factor in this virus' incubation period, it seems preposterous that Gilmore was even allowed to be around his teammates, never mind play in a game.
The Patriots had Gilmore on a bus with other players. They had him on a separate plane with other players who were also in close contact with Newton. Then they had the cornerback in the locker room and had him play 100% of the defensive snaps in Kansas City.
Meanwhile, the NFL's rules on handling COVID-19 have changed. Originally, players who tested positive but were asymptomatic had to sit out at least five days. They could return when they had two negative test results at least 24 hours apart. Last week, however, the NFL revised the rule. Players don't need to wait five days. They only need the two negative test results.
During a health pandemic, does it make sense to make it easier for a player with COVID-19 to return?
On top of that, players can be placed on the NFL's COVID-19/Reserve list if they've been in contact with someone with the virus. Why was Gilmore even allowed to travel and play if he was in contact with Newton?
The Patriots total number of COVID-19 cases has now grown to four. On Tuesday, practice squad defensive tackle Bill Murray tested positive and Gilmore was the next day. The team closed Gillette Stadium on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday before reopening on Saturday. They practiced because they all had negative test results. However, the Gilmore situation teaches us that more time is needed to determine if players are healthy.
Gilmore had dinner with Newton on Oct. 2. He played on Oct. 5. It was discovered he had coronavirus on Oct. 7
What guarantee did anyone have that they'd show signs, symptoms or test positive by the team's first practice on Saturday? The question is impossible to answer and on Sunday morning, it was discovered that Byron Cowart tested positive. This was discovered after Cowart played 17 defensive snaps in Kansas City and practiced at Gillette Stadium on Saturday.
The NFL, after pushing the Patriots-Denver game to Monday night, postponed the matchup to next Sunday. Both the Patriots and Broncos have reasons to be upset.
The Patriots were forced to travel and play with players who had the coronavirus. They held team meetings all week and practiced on Saturday only to find out that that was their bye week. The Pats will now play 12 games in a row to finish out the 2020 season. The Broncos meanwhile, practiced all week in a week that now turns out to be their bye week.
For the Patriots, playing in Kansas City never made sense. Nor did it make sense for the Patriots to practice on Saturday. It also never made sense to play on Monday evening. The NFL is clearly worried about canceling games. Money talks and we all understand that. It's a business — plain and simple.
But COVID-19 doesn't care about one's bank account, football games or professional athletes. It's a virus that's affecting all of us in 2020. It's a virus that's killed a lot of people. It's now affecting the NFL season. It's not a surprise, but the NFL needs to make sure they prioritize player safety over games played and TV money. Their protocol needs to reflect COVID-19's incubation period.
If they don't, what happened with the Patriots will continue to happen. Then the league might not have to worry about canceling a random Week 5 matchup. The season will be in jeopardy and 2020 will have a fittingly disappointing end.

VIDEO: What happens to failed racehorses?
Guy Stayner
Posted Wed 14 Nov 2012 at 9:08am Wednesday 14 Nov 2012 at 9:08am Wed 14 Nov 2012 at 9:08am
What happens to failed racehorses? (Guy Stayner)
LEIGH SALES, PRESENTER: The Spring Racing Carnival this year has been dogged by claims of corruption and skulduggery, but there's another ugly underside to the so-called "sport of kings".
7.30 has obtained video of failed racehorses being shot for pet food, a fate suffered by thousands of horses around the country each year.
Guy Stayner reports, and a warning: this story contains images of horses being put down.
GUY STAYNER, REPORTER: The dust has hardly settled on the Spring Carnival and the images of Green Moon's Melbourne Cup victory and the Royal presentation will be replayed for decades.
But this is the video the industry would prefer you didn't see. Horses walking into the killing box for their meeting with the rifleman. This is Cup Week at the knackery.
WARD YOUNG, COALITION FOR THE PROTECTION OF RACEHORSES: The racing industry can't possibly stand up and say that they love these horses and then the next day when they can no longer earn money on them, send them to the knackery where they will receive a bullet in the head and be killed for dog meat.
GUY STAYNER: The shooting of horses at the Melbourne knackery was secretly filmed by animal activists. Industry insiders estimate 10,000 race horses a year are slaughtered. The majority are used for pet food and horse sales around the country are attended by meat buyers.
At the Echuca sales this month about 100 horses were sold at auction, including failed race horses.
JOHN MOYLE, AUCTIONEER: Lot's of those horses, contrary to what a lotta people think, actually go to homes and people will test their skills at educating them, breaking them in, using them as a kids' pony.
GUY STAYNER: The sales can still become a dumping ground for race horses. This obviously injured horse was listed for sale at Pakenham last week.
???: A lot of people just don't care. Like, they don't wanna put the money into fixing them.
GUY STAYNER: There were currently about 15,000 thoroughbred foals born every year. The industry calls the number of horses lost to racing each year "wastage".
Is the so-called issue of wastage a problem for racing?
HUGH WIRTH, RSPCA: A big, big problem and we don't know how bad it is, but we suspect it's very bad. We are breeding lots and lots and lots of horses. Some of them fall by the wayside for things that should never happen and that causes wastage.
GUY STAYNER: So is the racing industry breeding too many horses?
HUGH WIRTH: Absolutely.
GUY STAYNER: While the Clydesdale cross can sell for thousands of dollars in the main ring, race horses in the rear saleyards only fetch a couple of hundred.
RACHEL BEATSON, HORSE RIDER: The breeder came up to me and had a chat to me and he said, "She raced a week ago in Wodonga and came 1,400 metres behind last place." She's pretty slow. She's not born to be a race horse.
GUY STAYNER: Not fast, but this horse was very lucky.
RACHEL BEATSON: I knew I had to take her home. She was just gorgeous.
GUY STAYNER: What would've happened to this horse if you hadn't have ... ?
RACHEL BEATSON: Dog meat. The dog meat man was bidding against me and I just - I said, "I'm gonna keep going so you might as well stop, buddy." Yeah.
GUY STAYNER: So what did she cost you?
RACHEL BEATSON: $300. Not much at all.
GUY STAYNER: But finding a new home for a thoroughbred is easier said than done. They cost between $50 and $100 a week to keep and are often difficult to handle.
BILL SAUNDERS, HORSE TRAINER: A lot of horses are quite frazzled by racing and you find that they quite often need two or three months just to sort of come down out of the clouds and eat some grass and generally get used to being a horse again.
GUY STAYNER: Bill Saunders runs a race horse retraining program west of Melbourne. He's found new homes for 50 former race horses in the past two years.
BILL SAUNDERS: Some of them are quite badly injured or, you know, really difficult in the head in terms of being quite mad, and those horses are probably better off put down. But of the ones that are left, there are many, many that are very suitable riding horses and of course many of them do go out and do exactly that.
GUY STAYNER: While it's difficult enough to rehome a race horse, about a third never even reach the track.
HUGH WIRTH: Something like 8,500 horses at an early age are excluded from the racing industry. Usually due to injury - mostly due to injury. Mostly due to the fact that they were prepared for racing when they were juveniles and not mature in bone and limb. That's the big problem for the racing industry.
WARD YOUNG: The racing industry needs to realise that by breeding these animals and by profiting from them while they're racing and having those sort of benefits, they owe a responsibility to that animal to look after it for its entire life, not just its life while racing.
GUY STAYNER: Racing Victoria admits there is room for improvement and is considering an owners' levy as part of a new strategic plan on race horse welfare.
BILL SAUNDERS: We have many owners here who've actually been prepared to pay money to get their horses retrained in order to give them a good home. Unfortunately it's not as widespread as I would like it to be.
RACHEL BEATSON: (To horse) We're gonna be buddies, we're gonna be buddies.
LEIGH SALES: Guy Stayner reporting.
Being shot for pet food is the fate animal activists say meets thousands of failed race horses in Australia each year and they want more done to provide a suitable life after the racetrack for thoroughbreds, and be warned that this report contains images of animals being put down.

Guidebooks are great. Online travel message boards, even better. But for real-time, of-the-moment travel tips, Twitter is hard to beat.
It's easy to get overwhelmed, though, by all the information out there. Keep things streamlined and simple by checking out these seven travel experts worth following on Twitter.
BBC Travel: A mix of aspirational travel stories ("World Class Surfers Reveal Where to Find the Perfect Wave"), practical tips ("Food to Avoid in Airports"), and quirky travel facts ("What Animals Can Teach us about Travel"), the BBC's Twitter feed is always surprising—and often enlightening.
Conde Nast Traveler: Insider secrets—especially for destinations—get frequent play here. Foodie travelers, take note: This is a great place to discover where Conde Nast's writers are sampling the local cuisine.
Hotel Chatter: Celebrity spottings, A-list properties, and the best hotels to see and be seen are all tweeted here. New hotel openings, trendy hotel restaurants and clubs, and luxury accommodations all get attention.
Johnny Jet: Practical travel tips, especially for air travel, are often tweeted from this former Travel Channel host. Hot spots, airline information (including terminal reviews and "just landed" flight reports), and last-minute deals are frequent topics.
The Middle Seat: Travel Columnist Scott McCartney of The Wall Street Journal primarily focuses on airfare travel tips, from how to find the best fares to smart ways to use miles, but also occasionally tweets about timely trends with rental cars, hotels, and vacation packages, too.
National Geographic Travel: Inspirational travel stories on where to go next dominate the National Geographic Travel Twitter feed. Links to sumptuous photography, coupled with practical booking, product, and packing tip stories round out the daily updates.


The following list should serve as a guide. Please plan your vacation as you wish, using the tools below. When you want to hang out, call us, call others. Let's all meet, mingle, and have a good time! We are so excited. Don't forget the Island Explorer Shuttle Bus, which is great free transportation around Mount Desert Island, the park, and even the Schoodic Peninsula.
Sunday: We will be exploring the Park Loop Road in Acadia National Park; if you want to join us, we will be at the Hull's Cove Visitor Center at 10 AM.
Monday: Breakfast at Jordan's (80 Cottage St), bride and groom have late morning meetings — so go off and explore! May we suggest bike rides, hikes, seeing the western side of the island. Check out the various websites below. We will be at the sunset viewing area of Cadillac mountain having a picnic dinner at 6:15/6:30. This is a great place to watch the sunset (at about 8PM). Poker after?
Links to the Beaver Log — Acadia's "newsletter." P. 4-5 lists ranger-led activities. Some need reservations.
Hope these links are helpful.
The wedding is in the late morning/early afternoon. The reception will be over by 4/4:30 or so. We have a hard limit on the length of the reception as part of the deal with the place we're having the wedding. In case that helps you plan your flights to and from, you could make it back safely for an 8PM flight out of Bangor or an earlier flight out of Bar Harbor, ME. We're also looking into a block of rooms at the hotels by the Bar Harbor Inn and at the Inn itself. There are also great B&Bs in the area with decent weekly rates that might be flexible for the saturday night.
One of the problems that folks have been asking about is that a lot of the cottages and houses for rent state a Saturday to Saturday stay. That's definitely a problem if you want to stay until Sunday. The best suggestion we have is to call the owners of the places you're interested in and then see what they can do. If they can't be flexible, then you'll have to find a place for Saturday night. We'll see what we can find out and make suggestions here.
The choice on where to fly to will depend on exactly how far away you are from ME. Check prices both to Bar Harbor as well as to Bangor, ME. Bangor is about 30-45 minutes away, but there is a bus that goes between the two every day at around 5:25 PM. The exact schedule will be posted up here (click on Bar Harbor) after May. Heidi and I are also looking into chartering a bus for on Sunday to head back to the airport and we're considering one to Bar Harbor if we can figure out a day when most people are arriving.
We're open to other ideas, too, so please feel free to suggest one for us. I'd remind everyone that cars, while handy, aren't really necessary on Mount Desert Island. There is a decent, free bus system that gets people around the island, including Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. If you want to know if anyone else is arriving at the same time as you, please drop us an email and we can check with our other guests.
Update — I've updated the links below for availability.
FINALLY, we've picked a date and a place!
We'd like to announce that we, Sujal Shah and Heidi Hojnicki, are tying the knot on July 29, 2006 atThe Bar Harbor Inn in Bar Harbor, Maine.
Here is the accommodation information. There are many places that rent for the week and certainly many places that rent for the night. If you are planning on joining us, you may want to make your plans soon, as accommodations fill up fairly fast, and it will be a busy time in beautiful Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.
Here are some accommodation options, though this is merely scratching the surface.
Harborside Hotel — Looks nice, has been highly recommended, and WE are staying there the night before and after the wedding, as well as some of our other guests.
Atlantic Oaks — We stayed here when we were meeting with vendors — it is a fine place. Our Friday night dinner/event will be here.
Hadley's Point: I've stayed here – it's nice, nothing too special.
Smuggler's Den: This is a good place, but it's not in Bar Harbor – about a 20 min. drive. They also have cabins. Very RV friendly.
Here's Sunday to Sunday place!!
Cyber Rentals — lots more homes and condos for rent here. Several pages worth. Check out this site — easy to use and check availability.
There are lots of other rental agencies, too.
Maine Island PropertiesThis looks like a great site — has lots of great places IN TOWN — just scroll down.
For those who have been asking, we are registered at Filene's (which is also Kaufmann's, Strawbridge's, soon Macy's, anything owned by the May Co.), Bed, Bath, & Beyond, Williams-Sonoma, and Campmor. But all that is required is your love!!


Bombardier Global 6000 jet If you spot a luxury Bombardier Global 6000 business jet with tail number ZS-OAK, Canada would love to hear from you. The jet belonged to South Africa's Gupta family, whose widespread corruption helped trigger the scandals that forced President Jacob Zuma out of office. The Guptas bought the plane with a $41 million loan from Export Development Canada.
EDC now says the family defaulted on the loan in October and still owes the bank $27 million. The Gupta family is an Indian-born South African family. The Guptas owns a business empire spanning computer equipment, media and mining, and has been the focus of widespread scrutiny because of its close ties to Jacob Zuma.
Brothers, Atul, Rajesh and Ajay Rajesh Gupta.
EDC has to find the plane; the Guptas made the plane's location data private. The disappearance of the plane is noted on FlightAware, a website that allows the public to track the location of planes around the world. "This aircraft (ZS-OAK) is not available for public tracking per request from the owner/operator," the site says. The plane has been spotted in recent weeks at airports in India, Russia and Dubai.

I have heard the importance of "The order of questions" mentioned a few times by for example Bernard Stiegler in one of his seminars. I am working on a Phd, and it is being drummed into me framing the question is important, and so of course it follows that one has not just one, but many, and that they would then need to be ordered. Indeed I have noticed that many texts in academia - even in Mathematics - seem to be ordered by questions, one question leading to the next.
Is there a text that covers this? I ask on the philosophy group as it is known that at least one way of thinking of philosophy is as the art of asking the important questions.
"The question of the order of questions, which forms the foundation of the method that emerges from Discourse on Method [...]".
Asking questions is at the origins of philosophy itself; see Socratic method : "The Socratic method, also known as maieutics, is a form of cooperative argumentative dialogue between individuals, based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to draw out ideas and underlying presuppositions. It is a dialectical method, involving a discussion in which the defense of one point of view is questioned; one participant may lead another to contradict themselves in some way, thus weakening the defender's point."
a definition of philosophical questions as questions whose answers are in principle open to informed, rational, and honest disagreement, ultimate but not absolute, closed under further questioning, possibly constrained by empirical and logico‐mathematical resources, but requiring noetic resources to be answered.
there is a significant difference between heuristics, understood as the method of problem solving (Pearl 1984), and erotetics, that is, the logic of questions and answers (Belnap and Steel 1976).
This is already an invaluable pointer, as I did not know of the field of erotetics, and will look there to see if it provides insights into writing a thesis. A very good recent overview of the field is (Wisniewski 2015).
Inspired by Turing's analysis of the resources it would take to solve a problem - it's complexity - Floridi argues that Philosophical problems require noetic resources to be answered. "Critics fail to grasp that philosophy is not in the business of discovering solutions but in that of designing them."
ultimate questions are those questions whose answers are most influential in terms of a cascade of further questions and answers to other related questions within that network.
Furthermore philosophical questions even though open are closed under further questioning: ie. further questioning keep leading to further philosophical questions. But they are not located in a void, they are connected to the web of questions, including mundane ones, which constrains the possible answers to philosophical questions, meaning that philosophy is not atemporal but instead embedded in the culture in which they are asked.
That last point does explain how there can be an order of questions from mundane to ultimate ones. One can remark that one does not start from the ultimate ones, but progresses there. In Descartes' meditation he inititally asks only mundane questions, such as how does he know the way things are since the wax can transform from solid to soft. He only slowly progresses to the ultimate question of knowledge "Is there anything that one can be certain of at all?".

Tokyo Motor Show: The Subaru WRX STI EJ20 Final Edition will have a balanced boxer under the hood
Posted on October 24, 2019 by Ben Hsu
We mentioned last week that Subaru would release an EJ20 Final Edition of its WRX STI sports sedan in order to properly send off its venerable engine. The 2.0-liter boxer motor has served the company for 30 years, helped it achieve motorsports notoriety, and transformed Subaru into a true performance brand. Now, details of the WRX STI EJ20 Final Edition have been revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show.
Years before the WRX's existence, the EJ20 passed its first significant performance milestone on January 2, 1989 at Subaru's Arizona Testing Center. There, an EJ20-equipped Legacy broke an FIA World Land Endurance Record by running at an average speed of 223.345 kph (138.780 mph) for 100,000 km (62,137 miles). The car achieved speeds as high as 240 kph in temperatures that ranged from 23 to 109 degrees Fahrenheit, and ran for 447 hours, 44 minutes, and 9.887 seconds.
From there, the EJ20 was inseparable from the evolution of what we know as modern Subaru today. The marque achieved its first WRC win with Colin McRae and Derek Ringer driving a 555 blue-liveried Legacy at the 1993 Rally New Zealand. Later that same year, the Impreza WRX debuted at the 1,000 Lakes Rally and took second place.
From there, Subaru became forever associated with rally-bred AWD cars thanks to the EJ20. In 1994, it won three of the 10 WRC races that year. In 1995 it fared even better: five out of eight WRC races that year to cinch the long-cherished WRC Manufacturers Championship. Subaru repeated this feat in 1996 and 1997, taking the WRC Manufacturers Championship three years in a row.
Thirty years is a long lifespan for any motor. From its introduction in 1989, the EJ20 has grown from 220 horsepower to 329 and it never stopped evolving. Technology gleaned from WRC successes was funneled right back into its street cars: twin-scroll turbos, vertical vortexing of intake air, the introduction of an isometric exhaust system, optimization of combustion chamber shape, and engine management systems.
For the EJ20 Final Edition, Subaru is offering something very special — a balanced EJ20 motor. Pistons and connecting rods will have a 50 percent reduction in weight differences, crankshafts will have an 85 percent lower tolerance in rotational balance, flywheels and clutch covers will have a 50 percent reduction in rotational balance tolerances. Subaru says that the precision will be close to that of a racing engine.
In addition, EJ20 Final Editions will have the option of Recaro seats, as well as front, side, and rear under spoilers, gold lug nuts. It will be available in WR Blue Pearl, Crystal White Pearl, and Crystal Black Silica, but why would you get anything but the blue?
Only 555 WRX STI Final Editions will be offered. The only transmission option will be a 6MT, and rightly so. Prices start at ¥4.851 million ($44,662 USD). The 555 lucky owners will be chosen via lottery, and Subaru will be accepting entries in Japan only from October 24 to November 11.

What I would love to see is someone go full Ken Block on a GC8 Impreza. Ala the Cossie 2.0 built with modern suspension and since the engine is the same I would imagine that the performance wouldn't be too far off from the current generation.

I'd love to hear if anyone has more information on that 1989 endurance test for the EJ20. That has the makings of a good documentary, as it's a serious undertaking from a human perspective. Imagine being on the team of drivers ripping that thing around the test track at high speeds from day into night, hot to cold, day after day. Nowadays, most manufacturers would just strap the engine to an automated dyno station and let it run to its death.

"Vaisampayana continued, 'Some time after, Bhishma the intelligent son of Santanu set his heart upon getting Pandu married to a second wife. Accompanied by an army composed of four kinds of force, and also by aged councillors and Brahmanas and great Rishis, he went to the capital of the king of Madra. And that bull of the Valhikas--the king of Madra--hearing that Bhishma had arrived, went out to receive him. And having received him with respect, he got him to enter his palace. Arriving there, the king of Madra offered unto Bhishma a white carpet for a seat; water to wash his feet with, and usual oblation of various ingredients indicative of respect. And when he was seated at ease, the king asked him about the reason of his visit. Then Bhishma--the supporter of the dignity of the Kurus--addressed the king of Madra and said, 'O oppressor of all foes, know that I have come for the hand of a maiden. It hath been heard by us that thou hast a sister named Madri celebrated for her beauty and endued with every virtue; I would chose her for Pandu. Thou art, O king, in every respect worthy of an alliance with us, and we also are worthy of thee. Reflecting upon all this, O king of Madra, accept us duly.' The ruler of Madra, thus addressed by Bhishma, replied, 'To my mind, there is none else than one of thy family with whom I can enter into an alliance. But there is a custom in our family observed by our ancestors, which, be it good or bad, I am incapable of transgressing. It is well-known, and therefore is known to thee as well, I doubt not. Therefore, it is not proper for thee to say to me,--Bestow thy sister. The custom to which I allude is our family custom. With us that is a virtue and worthy of observance. It is for this only, O slayer of foes, I cannot give thee any assurance in the matter of thy request.' On hearing this, Bhishma answered the king of Madra, saying, 'O king, this, no doubt,' is a virtue. The self-create himself hath said it. Thy ancestors were observant of custom. There is no fault to find with it. It is also well-known, O Salya, that this custom in respect of family dignity hath the approval of the wise and the good.' Saying this Bhishma of great energy, gave unto Salya much gold both coined and uncoined, and precious stones of various colours by thousands, and elephants and horses and cars, and much cloth and many ornaments, and gems and pearls and corals. And Salya accepting with a cheerful heart those precious gifts then gave away his sister decked in ornaments unto that bull of the Kuru race. Then the wise Bhishma, the son of the oceangoing Ganga, rejoiced at the issue of his mission, took Madri with him, and returned to the Kuru capital named after the elephant.
horses, cars, kine, camels and other animals, was so long that they saw not its end. Then Pandu, beholding Bhishma, who was a father to him, worshipped his feet and saluted the citizens and others as each deserved.

Engines & Systems
PARIS: P&W F135 engine burns through accelerated mission trial
BY: James Drew
A 10-month "accelerated mission test" of Pratt & Whitney's F135 engine has demonstrated its full-life capability after completing 5,200 engine cycles to replicated seven years and 1,200 sorties.
The company says the conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) engine for the Lockheed Martin F-35A Joint Strike Fighter was put through its paces at the US Air Force's Arnold Engine Development Center in Tennessee.
P&W F135 propulsion system vice president Mark Buongiorno expects the F135 will meets its mean times between failure and engine removal targets. He says the engine "meets or exceeds" its specifications and the accelerated mission testing shows a positive "level of robustness", despite recent reports that call into question the F135's performance.
He believes the engine will meets all its performance specifications by the conclusion of development. As an example, the Rolls-Royce lift system for the STOVL engine has been proven to ingest 22in per hour without losing thrust. Buongiorno also pointed to the recent carrier trial of six F-35Bs, which involved 100 vertical takeoffs.
In another milestone for the company, the first Italian-built F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, named AL-1, has been fired up at the Finmeccanica-Alenia Aermacchi-run final assembly and check-out facility in Cameri with an engine start and ground run.
The event coincided with Italy's Independence Day celebration on June 2 and the first flight is expected to follow shortly.
Italy plans to buy 60 F-35As and 30 F-35Bs to for its air force and navy.

Finals preview: Wests Tigers v Warriors
Wed 14 Sep 2011, 04:25 PM
Wests Tigers v Warriors
Friday, 7.45pm
An absorbing clash between two of the Telstra Premiership's most exhilarating attacking outfits, few games this season have promised as much excitement as Friday's sudden-death semi-final between the Tigers and Warriors. The names say it all. For the Wests Tigers, the star quartet of Benji Marshall, Robbie Farah, Tim Moltzen and Robert Lui have been the driving force behind their run of nine consecutive wins, with a freakish ability to put together the big plays when they matter most. Add centre Chris Lawrence – who returns from injury this week – and centre Lote Tuqiri and the home side boasts strike power right across the field.
The Warriors are no slouches either. Young halves James Maloney and Shaun Johnson have been dynamic over the past three months; Kevin Locke has made the fullback spot his own with his raw speed and dynamic kick returns; Aaron Heremaia has split defensive lines with his energetic dummy-half runs; and offload king Feleti Mateo has arguably been the buy of the year in the back row.
Lawrence's return on the left edge is a huge boost for the Tigers after Matt Utai was terrorised by Mark Gasnier last week but the Warriors have been forced into their own change in the centres after Joel Moon broke his leg in their 40-10 loss to Brisbane. Lewis Brown is the man most likely to fill that role.
The Warriors have a huge task ahead of them following last week's embarrassing performance at Suncorp but the respective records of both of these sides at the Sydney Football Stadium are intriguing. The Warriors have played just six games at the venue over the past six seasons (for three wins and three losses) while the Tigers have actually lost three of their past five night games there.
A worrying sign for the visitors is that the Tigers have scored 96 points in their past three games against them and over the past two months have recorded the most line-breaks of any side (5.4 per game) while conceding the fewest (2.8). That said, the Warriors have scored more tries than any other team over the past 10 weeks with 45. Five-eighth James Maloney (182) needs just seven points to record the second-most points by a Warrior in a single season – behind coach Ivan Cleary, who notched 242 in 2002.
Watch Out Warriors: With five members of last year's New Zealand Four Nations squad in the Warriors outfit, the Kiwi club is well aware of the danger posed by Wests Tigers five-eighth Benji Marshall. But knowing what he is capable of and doing something about it are two different things. Marshall is a master of improvisation – rush out of the defensive line and he will burn you with a burst of speed or find a means of putting a team-mate through a gap. Sometimes he'll make oppositions pay even if they don't do anything wrong. He boasts 22 try assists, 26 line-break assists, 15 line-breaks and 12 tries in 2011.
Danger Sign: The Tigers are lethal out of dummy-half. With Robbie Farah leading the way, they have made 12 line-breaks from dummy-half this season – more than any other side in the competition – and scored nine tries (second only to North Queensland). Not surprisingly, Farah tops the count in both categories with five line-breaks and three tries from dummy-half in 2011. The Warriors do have some reason to be confident in their defence however – they have conceded a mere three line-breaks from dummy-half this season (behind only Melbourne) and just a single try (best in the NRL). It promises to be an intriguing mini-battle.
Tigers Plays To Watch: Wests Tigers love playing to their right side. While much of the focus this week has been on the return of left centre Chris Lawrence from injury, it is in fact the opposite side of the field where the Tigers have the most joy with ball in hand, having scored a whopping 46 tries there in 2011 (compared to just 28 on the left). Only Brisbane boasts as many. The Tigers are particularly lethal one man in – the region patrolled by Chris Heighington and Blake Ayshford where they have scored 31 tries this season and where Heighington crossed against St George Illawarra last week. Ironically, it is here that the Warriors have been forced to make a change this weekend after left centre Joel Moon broke his leg during last Saturday's loss to Brisbane.
Watch Out Tigers: Warriors five-eighth James Maloney has really come of age this season as the Warriors' chief playmaker, but more than just taking his game to a new level he has also demonstrated an ability to produce the big play. He boasts 15 try assists in 2011 – but the strings in his bow are many and he is just as lethal running the football, with 10 line-breaks to his name. Watch for him to pass to one of his big forwards and then wrap around looking for the offload where his speed off the mark and quality step make him particularly dangerous.
Danger Sign: Tigers wingers Beau Ryan and Lote Tuqiri need to be on high alert on Friday night because the Warriors are certain to test them with some cross-field bombs. In fact, with 65 cross-field kicks in 2011 they rank second in the Telstra Premiership for kicking to their flanks. The main threat here is obvious – giant winger Manu Vatuvei is renowned for his leap and ability to catch the high ball. Vatuvei has scored 11 tries in 16 games this season. Notably, the Warriors also rank second for tries from within their own half with 17 so the Tigers must be ever-vigilant.
Warriors Plays To Watch: There is no doubt that the Warriors trigger much of their attack from offloading and second-phase play. Their 328 offloads in the regular season was second only to Penrith (331) while back-rower Feleti Mateo is the most prolific offloader in the Telstra Premiership with 78 in 25 games – 17 more than his nearest rival. Simon Mannering and Manu Vatuvei are also dangerous if not wrapped up. The men to watch should the Warriors continue to create second-phase play are fullback Kevin Locke, halfback Shaun Johnson and utility Lance Hohaia who all have the ability to break the line if given room to move. Johnson scored a spectacular long-range try on the back of a Mannering offload against Brisbane in Round 22 that highlighted the threat they pose.
Tim Moltzen v Kevin Locke: Two excitement machines in superb form go head to head in what will prove a decisive battle. Moltzen has averaged 133 metres over the past five weeks and is a huge danger through the middle where he constantly looms up in support of playmakers Farah, Marshall and Lui. He set up a spectacular try for Beau Ryan in this way last week when Farah and Lui combined to put him through a gap. Locke's threat comes in his running of the football. In 2011 he ranks fifth in the NRL for average kick-return metres with 64.8 and has contributed nine line-breaks, nine line-break assists and nine try assists.
The History: Played 19; Tigers 10, Warriors 9. The Tigers will head into this clash as warm favourites but the fact remains that little has separated these two clubs over the years – and 2011 has been no different with their two meetings yielding narrow 20-12 and 26-22 wins to the Tigers. Another win here would be just the third time the Tigers have defeated a side three times in a single season after North Queensland in 2005 and Canberra last year. This will be the first time these two teams have met in the finals, although notably the Warriors have won three out of the four Week 2 finals games they've played in over the years.
Last Time They Met: The Wests Tigers produced one of the comebacks of the year to beat a stunned Warriors outfit 26-22 at Mt Smart Stadium in Round 14. Trailing 22-4 after Manu Vatuvei scored in the 59th minute, the Tigers looked gone until Benji Marshall inspired a remarkable surge. Tries to Marshall on 63 minutes, Wade McKinnon on 66, Marshall again in the 71st and Beau Ryan in the 74th turned the game on its head as they stormed home to steal the two points. The Tigers were aided by four full sets of possession more than their opponents in the second half, during which time they also steeled themselves to miss just 15 tackles. The Warriors certainly paid the price for kicking just one goal from five attempts earlier on.
Conclusion: Despite their somewhat significant hiccup against the Broncos last weekend, it is impossible to imagine the Warriors performing quite so poorly again this time around. In fact, history says that winger Manu Vatuvei – who made five errors last week – tends to hit back strongly after a bad night out. Fact is the Warriors have speed to burn and the ability to score points from anywhere; however, if confidence is king then they have a huge mountain to climb. The Tigers are the form team of the Telstra Premiership with a club record nine wins in a row and it will take a supreme performance to topple them.
This game promises to be a thriller but given the form of the Tigers' key playmakers and a forward pack that is relentless across the park, they should be expected to progress to the grand final qualifier.

Strictly spoiler leaves some fans crying, dancing and celebrating as scores questioned
Who left the BBC show has been leaked online with some viewers very happy on who made the semi-finals
Wayne AnkersEditor
Strictly Come Dancing fans have reacted with lots of gifs and celebrations after the latest result was leaked online.
The quarter-finals on Saturday night saw five couples take to the floor in their bid to make it through to next week and one step closer to the glitterball.
At the top of the leaderboard were Rhys and Nancy who as ever impressed the judges and down at the other end were AJ and Kai Widdrington who struggled with their Salsa and were given their lowest score so far.

It was a very tense evening on the dance floor as the couples were so close to the final stages of the 2021 series.
And the tension was evident when former Bake Off winner John Waite appeared to drop dance partner Johannes Radebe.
The pair still got a respectable 32 - but many fans still said that was not enough.
One said: "If they score Dan higher than John i'll riot. Dan could NEVER do what John just did. #Strictly."
And when the result was later leaked online many fans shared gifs of dancers and celebrations in response.
@_annaxb wrote: "Never usually look at the spoilers for the strictly results but let's just say I'm very happy with who's in the semi-finals."
@MancSel said: "I do feel bad for the person that went out but the rest are on a different level so a fair result."
And @PurpleKing1980 said: "Yes! Seen this weeks #StrictlySpoiler Happy Happy Happy."
Another wrote: "I'm crying I'm so happy."
The confirmed results from Strictly will be on BBC1 at 7.20pm.

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here


Yesterday I traveled to Washington DC with my friend and colleague, Rabbi Joel Mosbacher, a national leader of Metro IAF's DNSIB campaign. The purpose: a Press Conference to let the President know that it's time to stop just talking about it and start acting! The Wall Street Journal, Bergen Record, Washington Post and other press were there.
How many deaths will it take? How many more senseless victims of gun violence until our nation takes meaningful action to address this plague. For the past couple of years I have been involved with Metro Industrial Area Foundations, a multi-faith network, Do Not Stand Idly By campaign against gun violence www.donotstandidlyby.org as have members of TBA. Over 70 municipalities across the country have signed on to the campaign, including the Township of Livingston and the Essex County Executive.
There is no singular solution for this problem but the DNSIB strategy is certainly a strong plan. Focus on the individuals with the purchasing power and hold gun manufacturers accountable for gun distribution and manufacturing.
Think about it. When a dishwasher malfunctions, there's a recall. When cars have safety problems, there's a recall. When guns kill people, again and again and again, Congress wrings its hands and does nothing and we continue to feel helpless and powerless to address this issue.
As taxpayers, we pay for 40% of guns purchased in America. The President is the largest purchaser of guns.
Sandyhook. Almost three years ago. Innocent schoolchildren's murders did not shock our Nation into action.
Charleston, South Carolina. People of faith in a House of Worship gunned down.
Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon.
And the list grows every single day.
The Press Conference was held across from The White House. The request was clear. Mr. President, hold gun manufacturers accountable. Ask about their distribution policies. 1% of the gun shops in America sell over 60% of the guns used in crimes. Gun companies are selling the same guns legally and illegally. Photos of the gun company owners were held up along with a photo of the President. Take responsibility for the products sold and purchased.
Put money into research for smart guns. Existing guns can be retrofitted and these guns can only be used by owners or an authorized user. This won't solve the whole problem but it's a start. More than half of the guns used for suicides do not belong to the person using it. That's a lot of lives to save. Guns picked up by children wouldn't let them accidentally kill their friends, siblings or parents.
I was invited to open the morning's meeting with a prayer.

Bikers converge to pay tribute to killed MC member
Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA (September 23, 2019) BTN — The funeral for Eric Voshell, an Oak Bluffs man killed in a shooting at a Fall River bar one week ago, was held Friday morning at St. Augustine's Church in Vineyard Haven.
The funeral drew hundreds of mourners, including dozens of bikers wearing gear from their motorcycle clubs and breaking the quiet with their motorcycles, slowing traffic on Franklin Street and Vineyard Haven side streets.
Court records indicate that Voshell, a member of the Hell's Angels affiliate The Sidewinders, was killed during a fight with a rival motorcycle club known as The Outlaws.
There was a heavy police presence outside the church with both Tisbury police and State Police on hand. Tisbury Police Chief Mark Saloio, who could be seen on Franklin Street, could not immediately be reached for comment on who requested the police presence. Many bikers came to the Island on Thursday for Voshell's wake to pay tribute to him and their presence created a buzz in ferry lines.
After the funeral, about 100 motorcycles followed the procession down Spring Street and into Five Corners headed for the cemetery in Oak Bluffs.
Voshell owned Reliable HVAC Co. and was an Oak Bluffs firefighter before being seriously injured in a motorcycle crash in July of 2018.
Joseph "JoJo" Noe, 25, is charged with murder and various other charges in connection with Voshell's death. He pleaded not guilty in Fall River District Court Monday and is being held without bail.
Meanwhile, a GoFundMe has been set up for the family of Eric Voshell following the shooting that took his life. The fundraiser, titled "Eric's Girls," was set up by Jeremy Borges, who could not immediately be reached for comment. In two days, the fundraiser has gathered more than $2,700 out of its $100,000 goal.
Several people left comments on the GoFundMe page.
Ellen Baronosky, who donated $50, wrote, "Both Dave & I send our deepest condolences to Eric's family & also to the whole SWMC!!!! RIP Eric!"
Jim Cooper, who donated $100 said, "it's the right thing to do."

Each year, Nestlé Canada employees come together to raise funds and awareness for Kids Help Phone, through the Kids Help Phone Golf Classic and the Walk So Kids Can Talk. 2012 has been our most successful year yet – raising more than $400,000 for this vital organization.
On August 21, Nestlé Canada presented the 15th annual Kids Help Phone Golf Classic at the Angus Glen Golf Club in Markham. This event raised an incredible $290,000 thanks to the generous support of our suppliers, customers and employees.
Since its inception in 1997, the Nestlé-supported Golf Classic has helped raise over $3.3 million for Kids Help Phone.
The 2012 Walk So Kids Can Talk took place on Sunday, May 6 at 40 locations across the country. Again, we raised more than ever before, through employee-driven fundraisers like an online auction, bingo and bake sales. In total, we raised over $110,000.

Orlando City aims to win U.S. Open Cup
(Nam Y. Huh, Associated Press)
Orlando City coaches and players know what can happen in the U.S. Open Cup.
In 2013, the Lions were competing in the third-tier USL-PRO league and upset the Colorado Rapids and Sporting Kansas City en route to the quarterfinals. It was the franchise's deepest run into the 101-year-old tournament, and the memories of those victories are still fresh enough to provide a lesson.
During its first year as an MLS team, Orlando City is looking to avoid being on the other side of an upset at the hands of its former USL rival Charleston Battery.
"I know they're going to be up for the game, and if we're not, we'll get beat [Wednesday] night," Lions coach Adrian Heath said. "We've done it to MLS teams in the last few years as a USL team, and I expect nothing more than for the Charleston Battery to be extremely motivated and coming after us because it's their biggest game of the year so far.
"We have to accept that's coming our way and meet it head on. If we do, we'll be OK. If not, we know what the consequences are."
Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. and the game will be streamed on YouTube by the U.S. Soccer Federation.
The potential for a third-tier team to upset an MLS team is the allure of the U.S. Open Cup, which is one of the oldest tournaments in the world.
The U.S. Open Cup is a tournament that includes all levels of teams in the country, from amateur squads up through the USL, NASL and MLS. Entering the fourth round of this year's tournament, one amateur team — the PSA Elite — is still alive and preparing to face the L.A. Galaxy.
No lower-level team has won the U.S. Open Cup since 1999, when the Rochester Rhinos claimed the title. Charleston advanced to the final in 2008.
Many MLS squads use the tournament as a chance to play back-ups and squad players, not taking the tournament entirely seriously until later rounds when mostly MLS teams remain. For Orlando City, however, the U.S. Open Cup represents a rare opportunity to claim its first silverware as an MLS franchise while also opening a door to international play.
The winner of the U.S. Open Cup automatically qualifies for the CONCACAF Champions League, an international tournament that includes representatives from countries across the region, including Mexico, Canada, Central America and the Caribbean.
While the MLS Supporters' Shield winner, opposing conference champions and MLS Cup champion also gain entry into the CONCACAF Champions League, Orlando City would need to win just five games in the U.S. Open Cup to achieve that same goal.
Entry into that tournament, which can be a boost for the global recognition of a club, is a priority for Orlando City owner Flávio Augusto da Silva. It has placed even more importance on the tournament this year.
With two league games in the next week — at Montreal on Saturday and home against Colorado on June 24 — Orlando City will likely lean on several reserves against Charleston, including Harrison Heath, Tyler Turner and Carlos Rivas, as well as veteran Amobi Okugo, who has been left out of the starting lineup the past few weeks.
Heath emphasized, however, a different lineup does not detract from how much the squad values the tournament.
"It's something we've spoke about with the players, regardless of whatever lineup we put out [Wednesday] night, I fully expect us to progress," he said. "I don't want anyone to get the impression we're not taking it seriously. . . . In four or five games, we can actually be playing at the Citrus Bowl in front of 60,000 people if we get to the final. For us, it's an important game."

Home/Sports/'Gut' feeling favours Liverpool as £130m Bellingham fight nears a conclusion; Klopp's stance revealed
'Gut' feeling favours Liverpool as £130m Bellingham fight nears a conclusion; Klopp's stance revealed
Liverpool are among three clubs 'leading' the race to sign Jude Bellingham and the Borussia Dortmund star is reportedly unlikely to sign a new contract.
The teenage midfielder is being targeted by some of the biggest clubs in Europe ahead of the summer transfer window.
Bellingham's decision to join Dortmund over Man Utd in 2020 has proven to be an inspired one as he has shone for the Bundesliga side over the past couple of seasons.
Things go from bad to worse for Everton with key duo 'absent from training' amid transfer interest
10 big Premier League names Erling Haaland has already outscored: Yeboah, Michu, Saka…
The German outfit have afforded him the platform to shine and he has taken this opportunity with both hands to establish himself as one of the best young players in the world.
The Birmingham City academy product also performed brilliantly for England at the World Cup and this is likely to lead to him leaving Dortmund in the summer.
His contract at Dortmund is due to expire in 2025 and Bild TV presenter – Valentina Maceri – cannot see him signing an extension.
"For now, I don't think he will sign a new contract," Maceri told Sky Sports News.
"There has been no official offers as yet from Borussia Dortmund as of yet. And for now, they want to give Bellingham all the time he needs to make a decision.
"For now, Bellingham wants to focus on Dortmund because at the weekend there is the reset of the Bundesliga."
Liverpool are known to be interested in the midfielder as they are planning to strengthen in that area of the pitch in the summer.
They are facing a fight to sign him with Real Madrid and Man City are among the sides interested in signing him.
Dortmund are in a position where they can demand a huge fee for their prized asset and it has been suggested that he could cost as much as £130m.
Maceri later suggested that Bellingham's father is "talking to Liverpool" but City and Madrid are also involved in the "game of poker".
"Our information is that his father is talking to Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp wants to sign him at Liverpool," Maceri added.
"But there is also Real Madrid and Manchester City in the game. I think everyone wants to have a player like Jude Bellingham. However, these three teams are the leading ones in the game of poker to sign him."
The presenter later revealed that if Jurgen Klopp feels that if Bellingham's decision is going to be based on money, "he's not going to choose Liverpool".
But she also admitted that her "gut" feeling is that the 19-year-old will join Liverpool.
"Klopp says if Bellingham is going to sign for the money, he's not going to choose Liverpool. But if Bellingham is to decide on his personal development as a player, and on tradition and for the love of the game, he could decide on Liverpool," she continued.
"My gut is that maybe we could see him at Liverpool."

H.H. Acharya Mahashraman, today visited the huge campus of A.P.S. public school for one day stay. His holiness preached audience and said that detached souls are free from all wishes, desires, charms and greed but the normal souls are more or less filled with characteristics like desires, greed, lust, lure etc. Sky is infinite. It doesn't have any ends, But at times, desires grow even higher than sky. People of all type and all age groups have wishes.
During Non Violence March (Ahimsa Yatra), H.H. Aacharya Shri Mahashraman Ji, at Gazipur Uttar Pradesh.
A poet has rightly said that body festered, hair greyed, lost teeth, grown old and has to take support of stick to walk, still is not free from yearnings. Even saints and sages are not free from urges.
Those, who practice five fire penance in summers and do bare body meditation in winters, are even engrossed with urges and longings. Because of these desires we keep taking rebirths and die. We bear pains and grievances during gestation but still we are not able to get free from our urges, greed, desires, lust, longings and dis-satisfactions.
Greed is the principle reason of all grievances. Hence, we should keep a check on our desires, allure and yearnings. In the beginning human consumes and controls material, later he himself gets subsumed. Greed never ages, we only grow old. Greed is father of all sins. Allure is the prime reason behind all grievances. Hence we should keep a check on greed, allure, lust, desires and longings.
Regarding yearning control, Acharya shri said that if we cannot become completely desire free, we should not even become greedy. we should try to have minimal wishes. Satisfaction gives supreme pleasure. Literates and wise people keeps themselves content. But unsatisfied people always live in disguise.
We should always be pacified with 3 things : 1. Spouse, 2. Food, 3. Wealth.
We should never be content with 3 things : 1. Studies (learning), 2. Chantings, 3. Donations. Thus, practicing contentment is vital.
Saadhvi Charitrayasha Ji and Muni Raj kumar Ji sang beautiful psalms. TYP members from Balotara sang 'Darshan paaye re'. Mr. Dilip from Panchpadra also sang a sacred song..
Date : 06/03/15, Place : Gazipur, Uttar Pradesh.

More departures from Newt camp
ATLANTA (AP) — Newt Gingrich's top two fundraising advisers resigned on Tuesday, and officials said the Republican candidate's hobbling presidential campaign carried more than $1 million in debt.
The departures of fundraising director Jody Thomas and fundraising consultant Mary Heitman were the latest blow for the former House speaker who watched 16 top advisers abandon his campaign en masse earlier this month, partly because of what people familiar with the campaign spending described as a dire financial situation.
These people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the campaign's inner workings, said the former Georgia lawmaker racked up massive travel bills but money had only trickled in since he got into the race earlier this spring.
These officials said that he is at least $1 million in debt. The current fundraising quarter ends June 30, and Gingrich will have to disclose his campaign finances by July 15. He is personally wealthy and could fund his campaign out of his own pocket, at least in the short term, to keep his campaign afloat.
Gingrich refused to discuss the latest defections Tuesday night, dismissing them as "campaign gossip" that's being publicized to detract attention from his policy ideas.
"The whole point is nobody has a clue why they left," Gingrich told reporters after speaking to a tea party group in Savannah. "Nobody has a clue whether they were failing to perform. Nobody knows anything except it's gossip."
He brushed off further questions about why the aides quit as well as about his campaign's debt load.
"I'm happy to talk to you about public policy," Gingrich said. "I'm not going to talk to you about campaign stuff."
Gingrich has insisted that he will not abandon his troubled bid and will continue fighting for the Republican nomination for president "no matter what it takes." He's revamping his campaign, given the series of departures.
"Newt 2012 continues its reorganization and alignment as a grassroots driven, substantive, solutions-oriented campaign," a spokesman, R.C. Hammond, told The Associated Press, adding that the campaign is "as committed as ever."
He said aides and volunteers continue to raise money, despite the absences of Thomas and Heitman. Hammond refused to discuss details of the financial situation.
Heitman, a former fundraiser with the Republican National Committee, declined to comment. Thomas did not return a phone call seeking comment.
Underscoring the financial difficulties he faces, Gingrich has traded in private jets for commercial flights; on Tuesday, he was traveling commercially from Washington for an appearance in Georgia.
Troubles have plagued the Gingrich campaign since its formal launch just five weeks ago.
He drew fire from conservatives after an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press," in which he likened a Republican budget plan that passed the House to "right-wing social engineering."
Days of bad publicity followed revelations that he had a no-interest loan account at luxury jeweler Tiffany's worth up to $500,000. And just as the GOP presidential race began to heat up, Gingrich disappeared on a luxury cruise in the Greek Isles with his wife, Callista.
Then, his top advisers walked on him.
He has refused to answer questions about his rocky rollout, his vacation to the Mediterranean or the exodus of his top staff from his headquarters near Atlanta and from the early nominating states.
"The last few weeks have been frankly very frustrating," Gingrich told a crowd of 130 attending the tea party event in Savannah on Tuesday evening.
Since his campaign meltdown, he has largely kept a low profile, favoring messages on Twitter and television interviews to interacting with voters.
Gingrich planned to speak to the Atlanta Press Club for a speech on Wednesday. In a sign that others may be questioning the Gingrich campaign's viability, Atlanta Press Club Executive Director Lauri Strauss said that a corporate sponsor had not stepped up to sponsor Gingrich's speech, as is customary with most addresses before the group.
Gingrich is scheduled to headline a birthday celebration at his Atlanta campaign headquarters on Wednesday and then to appear at a hotel near the Baltimore-Washington International Airport on Thursday. Both are far from states that hold the first contests of the GOP nomination fight, Iowa and New Hampshire.
He is slated to return to Iowa this weekend.

Pat loves to hang out with quilters on the internet as well as visit you in person.. be inspired to get more done!
Sewing since she was a child and quilting for over 20 years, Pat eventually looked to her craft as a business. After a few years quilting she started to teach quilt making to others and then turned her skills to pattern designing. She found that she really enjoys designing and seeing how other quilters made her patterns. In 2000 Pat's designs became so popular that she and her husband Gregg formed a design and publishing company called Pat Sloan & Co. In addition to designing and publishing her work, they now travel around the country teaching and showing her quilts to quilt guilds and quilt shops. Also, Pat has had her designs published in most national magazines, has written 30 books on quilting and has designed several lines of fabric for P&B Textiles and now Moda.
When Pat took her passion to the internet she built several quilt communities then 5 years ago started a weekly All Quilting radio/podcast. You can hear her interview quilt celebrities, historians, designers and authors from around the world, all on your computer! 5 years of podcasts are available for download.

What is Zinc Sulfide ZnS?
Diamonds are forever, Gold is precious but which is rarer? Gold is a heavy metal formed during the collision of neutron stars and is one of the rarest elements on Earth.During the formation of the earth, heavy elements gradually accumulated towards the core under the influence of the earth's gravitational force. This means that the closer you get to the Earth's crust, the harder it is to find large quantities of gold.The average concentration of gold in Earth's crust is "very, very low" at just 4 parts per billion. Gold concentrations need to be 1,250 times that level to form a market-worthy deposit.
Diamond is a common element - the ZnS powder is undoubtedly a good investment opportunity.
Introduction to Zinc Sulfide ZnS Powder
Zinc sulfide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula ZnS. It is a white or yellowish powder that darkens when exposed to sunlight. It is stable in dry air, and for a long time in humid air, it will gradually oxidize to zinc sulfate. It is usually produced by the action of hydrogen sulfide with zinc salt solution. Zinc sulfide has an excellent fluorescence effect and electroluminescence function. In particular, nano zinc sulfide has a unique photoelectric effect, and it presents many excellent properties in the fields of electricity, magnetism, optics, mechanics, and catalysis.
Physicochemical Properties of Zinc Sulfide ZnS Powder
The chemical bond between Zn and S of zinc sulfide tends to be covalent. The crystal has three different configurations: low-temperature type, that is, sphalerite structure, which is abundant in nature, colorless cubic crystal, the Zn, S coordination number is 4, and the relative density is 4.10. At 1020℃ it will transfer to high-temperature type; High-temperature type, that is, wurtzite structure, colorless hexagonal crystal, Zn, S coordination number are 4, the relative density is 3.98, melting point is about 1700℃. It is a zinc sulfide high-temperature stable structure; High-pressure type, namely sodium chloride structure, Zn, S coordination number are 6, the relative density is 5.21. There is also an aqueous compound ZnS·H2O, which is a white powder with a relative density of 3.98 and a melting point of 1049℃. Zinc sulfide is insoluble in water and dilute alkali, and insoluble in acetic acid, but soluble in low concentrations of strong acids such as hydrochloric acid, which release hydrogen sulfide. The solubility product of zinc sulfide is similar to the K1·K2 value of hydrosulphuric acid, so the following equilibrium exists in dilute acid:
Zn2+H2S=2H+ZnS
It can be seen that in the highly acidic zinc salt solution, hydrogen sulfide gas cannot get zinc sulfide precipitation. In zinc salt solution, hydrogen sulfide gas is introduced, zinc sulfide precipitation can be obtained, but the precipitation is not complete. Using ammonium sulfide solution as precipitant, zinc ions in zinc salt solution can be precipitated into zinc sulfide completely, because ammonium sulfide solution is alkaline, the acidity of the system can be reduced. In industry, the above method should be used to isolate air. White zinc sulfide darkens when exposed to light and is easily oxidized to zinc sulfate in air. Zinc sulfide can be used as a white paint pigment by itself or in combination with zinc oxide. Pure zinc sulfide does not emit light. If trace manganese, copper, and silver are added to zinc sulfide crystals as activators, they can emit different colors of fluorescent light after light irradiation, which is called fluorescent powder and is used to make fluorescent screens and luminous paint. Zinc sulfide is also used in leather, enamel, rubber, dye, and other industries.
Zinc sulfide is corrosive and poisonous. It can irritate the skin. Operators should wear overalls and protective equipment. The workshop should be well ventilated.
Zinc Sulfide ZnS Powder Properties
Other Names ZnS powder, zinc sulphide
Compound Formula ZnS
Appearance white to off-white powder
Melting Point 1830°C
Exact Mass N/A
Zinc Sulfide ZnS Powder CAS 1314-98-3
Preparation Methods of Zinc Sulfide ZnS Powder
Double decomposition method: Add zinc sulfate solution to the reactor, and slowly add ammonium sulfide for double decomposition reaction under stirring. Zinc sulfide and ammonium sulfate will be generated, then remove ammonium sulfate by filtration, and then by evaporation concentration, cooling crystallization, centrifugal separation, zinc sulfide will be produced
ZnSO4+(NH4)2S---ZnS+(NH4)2SO4
Applications of Zinc Sulfide ZnS Powder
1. Can be used as analytical reagents, phosphor matrix, photoconductor material; Or used for dyes, coatings, pigments, glass, curing oil manufacturing, etc.
2. Zinc sulfide is widely used in the production of infrared windows, fairing, and infrared optical elements. It has characteristics of high purity, insoluble in water, moderate density, and easy processing. Zinc sulfide has good refractive index uniformity and consistency. It has good image transmission performance in the band range of 8-12μm, but some of it begins to absorb after 10um. In the middle infrared band, the transmittance is higher, and the absorption and scattering are enhanced along with the shorter wavelength. Zinc sulfide has strong resistance to the harsh environment, and the high hardness and fracture strength are twice that of Zinc Selenide.
Tough front optics for zinc sulfide thermal imaging systems for infrared windows and thermal bands (8 to 14μm).
Single-crystal zinc sulfide is available but not common. The scattering is very low in the usual spectral range. It can be used as a high-power laser device under the condition of strictly controlling the bulk absorption and internal structural defects of the material and adopting the polishing technology with small damage degree and the coating technology with the highest optical quality.
Zinc sulfide oxidizes significantly at 300℃, exhibits plastic deformation at about 500℃, and dissociates at about 700℃. For safety reasons, zinc sulfide windows should not be used above 250°C in a normal atmosphere.
3. Used for optical coating target, X-ray screen, the luminescent dial by adding a trace amount of radium or neothorium salt, TV screen, and pigment for paint.

I haven't encountered any issues contacting the web service from SoapUI, so I'm wondering what could cause this problem.
You can see the screen shots here:
The HTTP Request within the tree, first part of the HTTP Request data, the HTTP Header Manager settings: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6HxIK.jpg

Here are the results on SoapUI (works just fine):
Results and log

Is it possible that the way that SoapUI sends the requests differs from the way Jmeter does and that's why it works?
Please help. Thanks!

A: I think you have some trivial error in the value of http header SOAPAction.
Happened to notice(in the image you attached) that there are double quotes in its value.
Just remove the double quotes " from the SOAPAction value.
UPDATE:
It is noticed, while editing the question, that soapui has sent an additional http header action with a value (you masked the value).
So, please add action header in the jmeter request as well the right value in the jmeter plan.

A: You need to put this action bit to be a part of the Content-Type header like:

I would also recommend adding HTTP Cookie Manager to your Test Plan

Out of interest, why don't you just record the request originated from SoapUI using JMeter HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder like:

*

*Configure JMeter for recording. The easiest way of doing this is using JMeter Templates feature

*

*From JMeter main menu: File - Templates - Recording - Create

*Workbench - HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder - Start

*Configure SoapUI for recording

*

*From SoapUI main menu: Preferences - Proxy Settings

*Proxy Settting: manual, host: IP address or hostname of machine where JMeter is running, port: 8888

*Execute request in SoapUI

*Inspect the recorded request in JMeter under Workbench -> Recording Controller.

Selmasongs – album muzyczny islandzkiej piosenkarki Björk, wydany we wrześniu 2000 przez wytwórnię One Little Indian. Płyta zawiera 7 utworów. Jest to muzyka do filmu Tańcząc w ciemnościach duńskiego reżysera Larsa von Triera, w którym Björk zagrała główną postać, Selmę.  Płyta została wyprodukowana przez Björk, Marka Bella i Valgeira Sigurdssona.

Nagranie zawiera aranżacje z orkiestrą symfoniczną, jak i muzykę elektroniczną w połączeniu z dźwiękami maszyn fabrycznych i przejeżdżających pociągów, a także śpiew solowy Björk i duety.

Niektóre teksty piosenek na płycie różnią się znacznie od tekstów piosenek w filmie; przykładem jest "Scatterheart".  Pewne teksty zostały zmienione żeby uniknąć przedwczesnego ujawnienia fabuły filmu - który ukazał się w kinach we wrześniu 2000, kilkanaście dni po wydaniu płyty Selmasongs.  Również utwory "My Favourite Things" i "(The) Next-to-Last Song" w ogóle nie ukazały się na płycie, najprawdopodobniej z tego samego powodu.

Lista utworów
 "Overture" (Instrumental) - 3:38
 "Cvalda" (z Catherine Deneuve) - 4:48
 "I've Seen It All" (z Thomem Yorke'iem) - 5:29
 "Scatterheart" - 6:39
 "In The Musicals" - 4:41
 "107 Steps" (z Siobhan Fallon) - 2:36
 "New World" - 4:23

During the meeting, foreign businessmen have offered their support in the modernization of the Kazakhstan's energy infrastructure, in particular coal-fired power plants. According to the Kazakh side, Czech Republic's considerable experience in this field can be very useful, especially within the transition to "green economy" and the international exhibition Expo 2017. Following the conference results, an agreement was reached on cooperation between the Czech Republic and Kazakhstan's one of the largest energy companies.
This is a thoroughly prepared project. We believe that the contract will be signed before the Expo 2017. We will build modern, small, medium-sized hydropower plants.
Within the conference, manufacturers also presented their technologies for the modernization of Kazakhstan's energy infrastructure. Today, there are 76 power plants with total capacity of 21.3 gigawatts of electricity in Kazakhstan.
