When it first flew in 1957, the Avro Arrow was the world's best supersonic combat aircraft. It was the proudest achievement of the engineers and designers in Canada's world-leading aircraft industry. They had already succeeded in building the worlds first passenger jet. This book tells the story of building, testing, and flying the Arrow. It explores the reasons why the Diefenbaker Conservative government of the day cancelled the contract to build these planes — and then ordered the six already finished airplanes cut up and destroyed.

Rosenberg always keeps me riveted.” —Rush Limbaugh, radio host This time, all eyes are not just on Iran, but on Syria as well. Israel has successfully launched a first strike on Iran, taking out all of their nuclear sites and six of their nuclear warheads—and causing The Twelfth Imam to order a full-scale retaliation. U.S. President William Jackson threatens to support a U.N. Security Council resolution condemning the Jewish State for unprovoked and unwarranted acts of aggression. Meanwhile, CIA operative David Shirazi has infiltrated the Iranian regime and intercepted information indicating that two Iranian nuclear warheads survived the attack and have been moved to a secure and undisclosed location. In danger not only from the ongoing missile strikes on Iran but also from the increasingly hostile and suspicious governments of multiple countries, David and his team are in a race against time to find the remaining nuclear warheads before disaster strikes.

MAKE MOBILE GAME is a guide thanks to which you will be able to program Falling Jumping Shapes mobile game. We will create a project from the idea, through design, to comprehensive programming in the greatest programming language: JavaScript. However, in order to achieve this, I will first teach you the basics of some amazing technologies: * modern version of JavaScript - Es6+, * React Native, * React, * CSS for mobile application, * Android. We will create applications in the VSCodium IDE, but you can use any other code editor that you know and like. The MAKE MOBILE GAME guide contains the game code with an overview and basic knowledge necessary to create mobile applications using the React Native framework. DESCRIPTION OF THE GAME TO BE PERFORMED We plan to build a game with three levels, or rather variants: * simple - let's call it SIMPLE and label it 'zero' * more difficult - let's call it MEDIUM and assign it the designation 'one' * a bit crazy - let's call it CRAZY and assign it the designation 'two' I used the term "variants" and not levels because each one can be run independently of the previous one. Technically, they will be three completely independent games, but based on similar design, graphics and JavaScript code. The idea of the game: The player will have to click on the falling ball so many times that it goes beyond one of the side edges. I invite you to play with us in programming a mobile game.
