Q: Heroku Rails 4 not referencing my JavaScript assets location correctly My local development runs fine, rendering javascript_include_tag "some-script" as referencing /assests/some-script.js correctly.
In Heroku, it references /javascripts/some-script.js
I'm using gem 'rails_12factor' in production in my Gemfile
Do I need to change any asset configuration settings? Like precompiling assets? I'm aware there are several config settings, but I'm unsure when to use them, in the past I've been fine without modifying them (like this suggestion).
It's just odd it references the /javascripts folder...
Also, to note, I am not currenty using javascript_include_tag "application" in layout/application.html.erb I am importing scripts manually using javascript_include_tag "some-script" in specific view erb files
Secondly, /assets/some-script.js comes up as a 404, so this must means my assests aren't available, which could be a second issue.
Any ideas?

A: This answer helped me resolve my issue. I had to manually add the js files to the assets precompile list in config/environments/production.rb like so:
config.assets.precompile += %w( some-script.js )
config.assets.precompile += %w( some-script2.js )
...

When I use a script in a view javascript_include_tag "some-script" works.

Design of early building
French Consulate is one of the Heritages building in Pondicherry. The architecture is painted with a combination of white and yellow colour and designed in a combination of French and Indian style located on Marine Street near the sea. Consulate General of France, Puducherry is pleased to introduce a new facility to meet the ever-increasing demand for French Visa among Indians. This building is found very close to the promenade beach in the centre of the white town.
The administration has said that it is our constant effort to provide greater comfort and convenience to our visa candidates. Consulate has been once the government of France with a fall of a directory in the shot of Brumaire by the year 1799 till the initiation of Napoleon Empire were to start in 1804. Under the extension, the word consulate refers to the period of French history.
History of French Consulate
At the time of this ancient period, Napoleon Bonaparte found himself as first consul with more conservative, autocratic, authoritarian republic government while he doesn't declare that he is the head of state. As everlasting institutions were found during this time, Robert B. Holtman was considered and called the consulate.
During the time of Brumaire, napoleon stopped the French military power and parliamentary and forced the directors of the government to resign. By integrating powers, Napoleon Bonaparte transformed the aristocratic framework of Sieyes into a secret domination.
Under the control of Napoleon, France enjoyed an extraordinary level of peace as well as order. This helped to raise the comfort among people in France. In Paris, poor people with hunger and thirst which was because of lack of fire and light became rich step by step after the napoleon started ruling. Many people were living their luxurious life where the trade prospered with high ranking. By strengthening the machinery of state, napoleon initiated elite order of legion of honour.
Current position of Consulate
A majority of people in the French population were uncritical under Bonaparte's authority. So the death of napoleon was not at all tolerated by those thanksgiving people in France.
Visa Process in French Consulate Pondicherry
Now the French consulate building in Pondicherry is used as visa offering and processing of visa to people travelling to France for their careers, tourism and many other situations. Procedures, rules and documents are collected and submitted in the French consulate in Pondicherry.
Opening Time of French consulate will be from 8:00 am – 5:00 pm.

Kudos to Doylestown Food Market and the Bucks County Foodshed Alliance, along with the forward-thinking Doylestown PA community, for hosting a showing of the acclaimed food waste documentary Just Eat It last month. I was pleased to be a part of the event as well as a post-film discussion on food waste and its national and global implications with Rolling Harvest Food Rescue founder Cathy Snyder. Linked to the event was a CBS Philadelphia radio spot hosted by Brad Segall in which Doylestown Food Market President John LaSala and I discussed local food system issues and the scope and scale of the food waste problem.
If you haven't yet seen the film, you should. Soon. Seriously. Just Eat It is a powerful, insightful film about the staggering level of food waste in developed countries and the underlying systemic and cultural causes featuring interviews with authors and activists Tristram Stuart and Jonathan Bloom. Seeking to take a deep (multiple dumpster) dive into the issue of wasted food, filmmakers Grant Baldwin and Jenny Rustemeyer challenge themselves to subsist entirely on excess food that they can recover for a period of six months. The results, including footage of Grant standing in dumpsters full of discarded food, food retail personnel robotically discussing and discarding produce deemed less than perfect and/or items beyond a perceived saleable date, and tons of vegetables and fruits discarded in fields and in processing facilities, are truly compelling. As a result, the film serves as a critical launch pad to incent the behavior change needed (especially at the consumer level) to reduce such wastage.
I began our post-film discussion with a number of questions to the audience: How many of you thought that there was that level of food waste in developed countries like Canada and the U.S.? How many imagined that you could literally stand in dumpsters completely full of discarded food of amazing variety — much of it perfectly edible? How many thought you could save significant amounts of money by subsisting entirely on discarded food? How many thought that you could gain weight by living entirely on discarded food that you collected from dumpsters? And last, how many thought that you could be the coolest house in the neighborhood through your recovery of immense quantities of jumbo-sized chocolate bars? The answer to all of these questions — not many. Incredibly, Grant was often able to stand in dumpsters full of discarded items and "stock up" on desired items. The couple estimated that over the six-month period they recovered $20,000 of food items, and spent only $200 for culled or less-than-perfect items. Feeling compelled to eat everything that they recovered rather than let it go to waste, Grant actually gained ten pounds over the six-month experiment. And with the recovery of several boxes of large organic chocolate bars (as Grant noted, a "high point" of the journey) the couple was able to "wow" Halloween trick-or-treaters like never before.
It's safe to say the audience was shocked by the film, which is good, but everything about the level of food waste today (particularly in the developed world) should shock us. As co-author Jonathan Bloom and I noted in a recent book chapter, food waste is a conundrum — and we need to move to clarity. The fact that we waste 30-40% of our food nationally, and 50% globally, makes no sense — particularly when coupled with the existence of vast levels of hunger domestically and globally, the significant environmental harm associated with food waste (particularly air and water pollution, as well as soil degradation), and the financial costs of pollution and squandered resources. Nor does the fact that a review of the major studies on food waste over time shows that the annual percentages are increasing. As noted in our session, isn't it amazing that despite all of the technological advances that continually improve products, processes and our quality of life, we continue to waste excessive amounts of food (and by association all of the resources that went into producing it)?
This can't last, and it was exciting to note how the film helped our audience "get" it. In a world of increasing population and increasing scarcity, we all have a responsibility to optimize the use of resources — especially food. That starts with properly valuing our food — moving from our current culture of abundance (which leads us to be cavalier about wasting it) to a culture of responsibility (where we use all that we buy, and we buy only what we need). Grant and Jenny helped reveal the myriad benefits that can accrue from such behavior change.
To make the film's points even more tangible, I presented a slide with four pictures of trash bins full of high-quality food of all types — loaves of freshly baked artisan bread, steaming rotisserie chickens, fresh fruit, and fresh vegetables. The key commonality — all of these examples were local — and sadly, it doesn't take much effort to find them.
With increased awareness (sure to get a boost from the recent Ad Council campaign) of the food waste problem, concerted educational efforts, and a return to prior-generation values regarding food, augmented by collaboration, partnerships, and creative, innovative start-ups and business developments, we can begin to change the mindset of consumers in developed countries — and thereby drive change through the food supply chain as well.
And for now, a simple and very important takeaway for our audience involves the food that we have on hand. Don't waste it. Just eat it. That makes a lot of sense.


Ok yall, I want to tell y'all about these looks. Especially this Fashion Nova top. Y'all if you are ever in a rush or a last minute shopper like myself- Fashion Nova is the place to go! I will tell you the break down on how I got this top for the low, basically $20 DOLLAS!!! That's right!! Yas!!! Yall, I was looking for a top to match my black skirt for the zulu ball and I didn't want to spend a lot. I had looked on Fashion Nova, but I didn't see a top that caught my eye. So I looked at amazon, esty.com, and other independent online boutiques. Then I thought about EBAY!! I figured it is just as cute and fashionable.
So this black sequin blouse bought me back to Fashion Nova via Ebay. I was online looking for a bargain sequin top and I found this all black top randomly. Ya'll it was such a steal!! 20 DOLLAS!!!
Now I had a photo shoot and a brunch..

The Americans are aware that the Russians have had a head start in the Arctic and that China is a joker. That may mean increased military American activity.
The Arctic From An American Military Perspective The Americans are aware that the Russians have had a head start in the Arctic and that China is a joker. That may mean increased military American activity.
ANALYSIS: Russia and China are the two nations that have possibly seen the highest potential in this, however, we may expect increased American focus in the time ahead.
In the American National Defense Strategy from 2018, the main focus is a long-term strategic power struggle with China and Russia. Americans do not like that their big power status is challenged, however, that is exactly what has happened in the Arctic. Russia has established herself as the strongest and leanest Arctic nation, whereas the USA has focused on the Middle East and the Pacific region. Russia has invested heavily in the area and plans to invest another USD 700 billion over the next five years. Russia will continue developing infrastructure for the increase in shipping traffic that is expected following the increasing sea ice melting.
China demonstrates significant interest in such a development and a potential future Arctic silk road. China published its first Arctic strategy in 2018; a warning that China wants to be an actor. The country opened its first Arctic research station in Svalbard in 2003 and received observer status at the Arctic Council in 2013. There every reason to believe that China is serious.
Several countries are currently renewing their Arctic strategies. What significance does that have to Norwegian sovereignty and security?
UTSYN - Forum for Foreign Policy and Security is producing a series of articles on this topic this spring.
The project is a collaboration between UTSYN, the Norwegian Officers' and Specialist Association and NTL Defense.
The Arctic has gone from being a remote no-man's land to becoming a center for economic activity and a transit area between different strategic interests. The Arctic ties Russia's oil and gas industry to the Asian markets, Chinese products to European markets anda the Russian Northern Fleet to the Atlantic Ocean. When the polar ice cap shrinks, new and faster transport routes open up; new, rich oil and gas deposits are frequently discovered; and tourism in the area increases. This provides both opportunities and challenges. Russia and China are perhaps the two nations that have seen the most potential here, though we can expect increased American focus in the time ahead.
A recent report to Congress asked if the USA is prepared to defend its interests in the region. The country is far from where it wants to be from a military point of view. The same report estimates that only in 2030 will the US Navy have the competence required, and after 2030 operational equipment, to conduct major operations in the area. Now they want to do something about just that. In 2017, the American Ministry of Defense used NOK 50 billion (USD 5.8 billion) – equaling one year's Norwegian defense budget – to improve its capacities in the Arctic.
The USA has also reestablished its Second Fleet, having the Atlantic and the Arctic as its area of responsibility. This Navy force was relieved from duty in 2011, however, it is now on its way back and is to be operative by 2020. An American weakness is her lack of icebreakers. The Americans currently have three old and rather worn icebreakers and can hardly claim to have that capacity. However, there are plans of acquiring six icebreakers over the coming years. Only one of them has received funding so far.
Based on this status and the ambitions of the National Security and Defense Strategy, one can safely deduct that the USA has no plans about allowing Russia and China to dominate the Arctic. By 1 June next year, the American Defense Minister will submit an updated Arctic strategy. The previous one was from 2016 and basically held a continue-like-before approach. However, with an 'America first' policy there is little doubt that American interests will be promoted in the Arctic too, amongst others to prevent Russia and China from threatening the USA.
The USA has already both introduced and planned initiatives for more active assertion in the Arctic. The US Navy is planning on sending navy forces to the Arctic this summer in order to conduct freedom of navigation operations. This kind of operations is about demonstrating in practice the right Americans claim to have to navigate the sea in a given area based on the international Law of the Seas. The Americans have not done this for a long time in the Arctic, though recently had several such operations in the South China Sea. In addition, the Americans are considering reestablishing a new base in the Bering Sea to support future operations. This base is to be able to receive both surface vessels and maritime surveillance planes. In addition to challenging Russia and China, this is also considered a necessity to acquire knowledge about and experience with operations in the area.
The USA today has unresolved Law of the Seas disputes with both Canada and Russia in the Arctic. The conflicts are a.o. about the strategically important passages that Canada and Russia claim lie within their respective territorial waters or internal sea areas. The USA disagrees with Canada and claims that this is international waters. The USA and Russia disagree about the borders of the Bering Sea. This can nevertheless be considered insignificant details in comparison to what is coming.
Terje Bruøygard, former head of the Telemark Batallion.
Open sea routes are one of the cornerstones of American foreign policy. The outcome of this conflict of interest is not given.
Based on its investment in the Arctic, Russia is planning to submit sovereignty claims along the entire North-East Passage from the Barents Sea to the Bering Strait, in the summer of 2019, amongst which will be a clause requiring foreign marine forces to apply 45 days in advance for access. Russia makes it very clear that she does not want the USA or NATO to flex their muscles along the Russian coastline.
This regulation strongly contrasts the American focus on open sea routes as a precondition for maritime security and global economic growth. The Russian claim is thus a rather exciting preamble for the American freedom of navigation operations. Open sea routes are one of the cornerstones of American foreign policy. The outcome of this conflict of interest is not given.
Activities in the Arctic will increase dramatically over the next years and the area may end up becoming an rena of power wrestling between the USA, Russia and China. Thucydides' thesis about fear, honor and interest as causes of conflicts reminds us of the insecurity that may arise between an established superpower and a growing challenger. In such power struggles, where most of those involved have some form of alliance and the conflict lines are forking, a spark may lead to flashover. It will be incredible exciting to watch the announced activities with American freedom of navigation operations, Russian assertion and aggressive Chinese entering of the region. Even the Canadians are rattling their sabers and preparing reactions – not militarily, of course, but diplomatically. There is no reason to believe that the USA will sit still and watch Russia and China grow stronger in the Arctic. Nor is there reason to believe that Russia will give up her position or that China will give up its ambition.
A culmination of territorial claims and interpretations of international legislation in the Arctic may also challenge Norway. We may end up in a squeeze between a Russia that has already significantly strengthened her position in the Arctic and a USA that has an ambition of claiming its rightful place in the region. No one doubts that Svalbard is a part of Norway, however, the archipelago's unique legal framework constitutes a potential disagreement in which Norway may be left dangerously alone. Norway's claim for an exclusive economic zone around Svalbard is challenged not only by Russia, but even more by NATO allies such as Iceland, Denmark, Spain and Great Britain. The USA has assumed a more cautious position. China is a signature state to the Svalbard Treaty and has recently claimed its interest in the archipelago to be a.o. research, mining and tourism. It may be exciting to see how that ambition is played out over the coming years.
So, what does a reinforced American military strategy for the Arctic, aimed towards containing Russian and Chinese positioning, have to say for Norway and our defense? Well, these are first and foremost diplomatic challenges that should be met with peaceful means and international cooperation. At the same time, diplomacy has to be supported by the state's other tools, including the military. On the shorter term, we may prioritize the structures we have, so that our position in strategic questions in the Arctic is more credible. Sailing hours, flying hours and drill activity is not only a means to achieve a better operative status; they are also a signal that we are serious. If we have a continual presence in our areas, be it in the air, on sea or on land, this goes to say something. If our vessels are berthed, or planes in their hangars and our army in its barracks, this sends a different message. What we exercise, who we train with and where we train goes a long way in saying how Norway as a state intends to protect its interests. The Defense activity thus gives a signal to both allies as well as other actors in the region.
The long-term development communicates even stronger what our interest is. The fact that Norway buys new F-35s and new maritime surveillance planes communicates that we are a strong partner to the USA and that we are willing to defend our interests. As for submarines, it appears we are reducing our fleet from six to four and we are reducing the number of frigates from five to four. Perhaps it would be wise to consider increasing both the number of submarines, replacing the shipwrecked frigate and acquiring a further number of vessels designed especially for operating in the Arctic.
Perhaps it would be wise to consider increasing both the number of submarines, replacing the shipwrecked frigate and acquiring a further number of vessels designed especially for operating in the Arctic.
Norwegian land power also has a border area to American strategy. Joint training and cooperation with a competent Arctic nation like Norway is highly valued also for land forces. Maintaining and protecting American advance storages is important, in particular for the marine corps. An American amphibian brigade group depends on a land component level above today's brigade level. Furthermore, the geostrategic significance of Norway is crucial for the USA, both for defending the American mainland as well as for its ability to operate in the Atlantic Ocean. A potential enemy controlling Norwegian territory would be very unpleasant for the USA. Therefore, no one should raise their eyebrows when the Chief of the Army says that we need another brigade. Adding a brigade would close some of the capacity gap on the Norwegian territory through being able to protect more of the land-based infrastructure and provide more flexibility, robustness and endurance.
There is no doubt that it will be exciting to see what will be the direction of a new American Arctic strategy. The USA has ambitions to remain a global superpower. The Americans are aware that the Russians have had a head start in the Arctic and that China is a joker. That may mean increased military American activity, more investments, closer cooperation and sharpened policies. Norway must, as an Arctic actor, balance three different interests. We must continue to demonstrate our loyalty to the Americans and NATO, we must work for a good neighborly relation to Russia, and we must assert our rights in the Arctic in a credible manner.
There is no doubt that it will be exciting to see what will be the direction of a new American Arctic strategy.

The McDonnell XF-85 Goblin is an American prototype fighter aircraft conceived during World War II by McDonnell Aircraft. It was intended to deploy from the bomb bay of the giant Convair B-36 bomber as a parasite fighter. The XF-85's intended role was to defend bombers from hostile interceptor aircraft, a need demonstrated during World War II. McDonnell built two prototypes before the Air Force (USAAF) terminated the program.
The XF-85 was a response to a USAAF requirement for a fighter to be carried within the Northrop XB-35 and B-36, then under development. This was to address the limited range of existing interceptor aircraft compared to the greater range of new bomber designs. The XF-85 was a diminutive jet aircraft featuring a distinctive egg-shaped fuselage and a forked-tail stabilizer design. The prototypes were built and underwent testing and evaluation in 1948. Flight tests showed promise in the design, but the aircraft's performance was inferior to the jet fighters it would have faced in combat, and there were difficulties in docking. The XF-85 was swiftly canceled, and the prototypes were thereafter relegated to museum exhibits. The 1947 successor to the USAAF, the United States Air Force (USAF), continued to examine the concept of parasite aircraft under three related projects following the cancellation: MX-106 "Tip Tow", FICON, and "Tom-Tom."
During World War II, American bombers such as the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, Consolidated B-24 Liberator, and Boeing B-29 Superfortress were protected by long-range escort fighters such as the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt and North American P-51 Mustang. These fighters could not match the range of the Northrop B-35 or Convair B-36, the next generation of bombers developed by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). The development cost for longer-ranged fighters was high, while aerial refueling was still considered risky and technologically difficult.[1] Pilot fatigue had also been a problem during long fighter escort missions in Europe and the Pacific, giving further impetus to innovative approaches.[2]
The USAAF considered a number of different options including the use of remotely piloted vehicles before choosing parasite fighters as the most viable B-36 defense.[3] The concept of a parasite fighter had its origins in 1918, when the Royal Air Force examined the viability of Sopwith Camel parasite fighters operating from their 23 class airships. In the 1930s, the U.S. Navy had a short-lived operational parasite fighter, the Curtiss F9C Sparrowhawk, aboard the airships Akron and Macon.[4] Starting in 1931, aircraft designer Vladimir Vakhmistrov conducted experiments in the Soviet Union as part of the Zveno project during which up to five fighters of various types were carried by Polikarpov TB-2 and Tupolev TB-3 bombers. In August 1941, these combinations flew the only combat missions ever undertaken by parasite fighters – TB-3s carrying Polikarpov I-16SPB dive bombers attacked the Cernavodă bridge and Constantsa docks, in Romania. After that attack, the squadron, based in the Crimea, carried out a tactical attack on a bridge over the river Dnieper at Zaporozhye, which had been captured by advancing German troops.[5] Later in World War II, the Luftwaffe experimented with the Messerschmitt Me 328 as a parasite fighter, but problems with its pulsejet engines could not be overcome.[1] Other late-war rocket-powered parasite fighter projects such as the Arado E.381 and Sombold So 344 were unrealized "paper projects".[6]
On 3 December 1942, the USAAF sent out a Request for Proposals (RfP) for a diminutive piston-engined fighter.[7] By January 1944, the Air Technical Service Command refined the RfP and, in January 1945, the specifications were further revised in MX-472 to specify a jet-powered aircraft.[4] Although a number of aerospace companies studied the feasibility of such aircraft, McDonnell was the only company to submit a proposal to the original 1942 request and later revised requirements.[4] The company's Model 27 proposal was completely reworked to meet the new specifications.[7]

The initial concept for the Model 27 was for the fighter to be carried half-exposed under the B-29, B-35, or B-36. The USAAF rejected this proposal, citing increased drag, and hence reduced range for the composite bomber-fighter configuration.[4] On 19 March 1945, McDonnell's design team led by Herman D. Barkey,[8] submitted a revised proposal, the extensively redesigned Model 27D.[9] The smaller aircraft had an egg-shaped fuselage, three fork-shaped vertical stabilizers, horizontal stabilizers with a significant dihedral, and 37° swept-back folding wings to allow it to fit in the confines of a bomb bay.[10] The diminutive aircraft measured 14 ft 10 in (4.52 m) long; the folding wings spanned 21 ft (6.4 m). Only a limited fuel supply of 112 US gal (93 imp gal; 420 l) was deemed necessary for the specified 30-minute combat endurance.[10] A hook was installed along the aircraft's center of gravity; in flight, it retracted to lie flat in the upper part of the nose.[10] The aircraft had an empty weight just short of 4,000 pounds (1.8 t).[11] To save weight, the fighter had no landing gear.[9][N 1] During the testing program, a fixed steel skid under the fuselage and spring-steel "runners" at the underside of the wingtips were installed in case of an emergency landing.[4][13] Despite the cramped quarters, the pilot was provided with a cordite ejection seat, bail-out oxygen bottle, and high-speed ribbon parachute.[14] Four .50 in (12.7 mm) machine guns in the nose made up the aircraft's armament.[15]
In service, the parasite fighter would be launched and retrieved by a trapeze. With the trapeze fully extended, the engine would be airstarted and the release from the mother ship was accomplished by the pilot pulling the nose back to disengage from the hook.[14] In recovery, the aircraft would approach the mother ship from underneath and link up with the trapeze using the retractable hook in the aircraft's nose.[14] The anticipated production shift would see a mixed B-36 fleet with both "fighter carriers" and bombers[16] employed on missions.[17] There were plans that, from the 24th B-36 onward, provisions would be made to accommodate one XF-85, with a maximum of four per bomber envisioned.[15][N 2] Up to 10 percent of the B-36s on order were to be converted to fighter carriers with three or four F-85s instead of a bomb load.[N 3]
Hangar test of recovery trapeze, with wings folded in stowed configuration
On 9 October 1945, the USAAF signed a letter of intent covering the engineering development for two prototypes (US serial numbers 46-523/4), although the contract was not finalized until February 1947.[18] After the successful conclusion of two reviews of a wooden mock-up in 1946 and 1947 by USAAF engineering staff,[3] McDonnell constructed two prototypes in late 1947.[9] The Model 27D was re-designated XP-85, but by June 1948, it was changed to XF-85 and given the name "Goblin".[N 4] There were plans to acquire 30 production P-85s, but the USAAF took the cautious approach – if test results from the two prototypes were positive, production orders for more than 100 Goblins would be finalized later.[16][18]
During wind tunnel testing at Moffett Field, California, the first prototype XF-85 was accidentally dropped from a crane at a height of 40 ft (12 m), causing substantial damage to the forward fuselage, air intake, and lower fuselage.[9][20] The second prototype had to be substituted for the remainder of the wind tunnel tests and the initial flight tests.[21]
As a production series B-36 was unavailable, all XF-85 flight tests were carried out using a converted EB-29B Superfortress mother ship that had a modified, "cutaway" bomb bay complete with trapeze, front airflow deflector, and an array of camera equipment and instrumentation.[9] Since the EB-29B, named Monstro, was smaller than the B-36, the XF-85 would be flight tested half-exposed.[21] To load the XF-85 into the host plane, a special "loading pit" was dug into the tarmac at South Base, Muroc Field, where all the flight tests originated.[22][N 5] On 23 July 1948, the XF-85 flew the first of five captive flights, designed to test whether the EB-29B and its parasite fighter could fly "mated".[13] The XF-85 was carried in a stowed position, but was sometimes tethered and extended into the airstream with the engine off, for the pilot to gain some feel for the aircraft in flight.[23]
XF-85 suspended from an EB-29 via a trapeze
McDonnell test pilot Edwin Foresman Schoch was assigned to the project, riding in the XF-85 while it was stowed aboard the EB-29B, before attempting a "free" flight on 23 August 1948. After Schoch was released from the bomber at a height of 20,000 ft (6,000 m), he completed a 10-minute proving flight at speeds between 180 and 250 mph (290–400 km/h), testing controls and maneuverability.[24] When he attempted a hook-up, it became obvious the Goblin was extremely sensitive to the bomber's turbulence, as well as being affected by the air cushion created by the two aircraft operating in close proximity.[24] Constant but gentle adjustments of throttle and trim were necessary to overcome the cushioning effect.[22] After three attempts to hook onto the trapeze, Schoch miscalculated his approach and struck the trapeze so violently that the canopy was smashed and ripped free and his helmet and mask were torn off.[25] He saved the prototype by making a belly landing on the reinforced skid at the dry lake bed at Muroc.[N 6] All flight testing was suspended for seven weeks while the XF-85 was repaired and modified. Schoch used the down period to undertake a series of problem-free dummy dockings with a Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star fighter.[22]
After boosting the trim power by 50 percent, adjusting the aerodynamics, and other modifications,[22] two further mated test flights were carried out before Schoch was able to make a successful release and hookup on 14 October 1948.[27] During the fifth free flight on 22 October 1948, Schoch again found it difficult to hook the Goblin to the bomber's trapeze, aborting four attempts before hitting the trapeze bar and breaking the hook on the XF-85's nose. Again, a forced landing was successfully carried out at Muroc.[23]
With the first prototype's repairs completed, it also joined the flight test program, completing captive flights. While in flight, the Goblin was stable, easy to fly, and recoverable from spins, although initial estimates of a 648 mph (1,043 km/h) top speed proved optimistic.[21] The first test flights revealed that turbulence during approach to the B-29 was significant, leading to the addition of upper and lower fins at the extreme rear fuselage, as well as two wingtip fins to compensate for the increased directional instability in docking.[9] All the initial flights had the hook secured in a fixed position, but when the hook was stowed and later raised, the resulting buffeting added to the difficulty in attempting a hookup. To address the problem, small aerodynamic fairings were added to the hook well that reduced the buffeting when the hook was extended and retracted.[22] When testing resumed, on the 18 March 1949 test flight, Schoch continued to have difficulty in hooking up, striking and damaging the trapeze's nose-stabilizing section, before resorting to another emergency belly landing.[23] After repairs to the trapeze, Schoch flew the first prototype on 8 April 1949, completing a 30-minute free flight test, but after three attempts, abandoned his efforts and resorted to another belly landing at Muroc.[28][N 7]
Aware of the problems revealed in flight tests, McDonnell reviewed the program and proposed a new development based on a more conventional design promising a Mach 0.9 capability, using alternatively a 35° swept wing and delta wing.[29] McDonnell also considered adding a telescoping extension to the docking trapeze that would extend the device below the turbulent air under the mother ship.[28] Before any further work on the trapeze, other modifications to the XF-85, or continued design studies on its follow-up could be carried out, the USAF[N 8] canceled the XF-85 program on 24 October 1949.[31]
Two main reasons contributed to the cancellation. The XF-85's deficiencies revealed in flight testing included a lackluster performance in relation to contemporary jet fighters, and the high demands on pilot skill experienced during docking revealed a critical shortcoming that was never fully corrected.[29] The development of practical aerial refueling for conventional fighters used as bomber escort was also a factor in the cancellation.[21][13] The two Goblins flew seven times, with a total flight time of 2 hours and 19 minutes with only three of the free flights ending in a successful hookup.[21] Schoch was the only pilot who ever flew the aircraft.[32]
Despite cancellation of the XF-85, the USAF continued to examine the concept of parasite aircraft as defensive fighters through a series of projects. These included Project MX-106 "Tip Tow", Project FICON, and Project "Tom-Tom" – which involved fighter aircraft attached to bomber aircraft by their wingtips.[33] Project FICON ("fighter conveyor") emerged as an effective Convair GRB-36D and Republic RF-84K Thunderflash combined bomber-reconnaissance-fighter, although the role was changed to that of strategic reconnaissance.[16] Project FICON drew heavily on data from the abortive XF-85 project and closely followed McDonnell's recommendations in designing a more refined trapeze.[34] A total of 10 converted B-36s and 25 reconnaissance fighters saw limited service with the Strategic Air Command in 1955–1956, before they were supplemented by more effective aircraft and satellite systems.[35]

After the program's termination, the two XF-85 prototypes were stored, before being surplussed and relegated to museum display in 1950.[29]
46-0523 – National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio. Following the cancellation of the program, the aircraft was transferred to the museum on 23 August 1950 and was one of the first experimental aircraft to be displayed at the new Air Force Museum. For several decades, the aircraft was displayed alongside the museum's Convair B-36. In 2000, the aircraft was moved to the museum's Experimental Aircraft Hangar. Museum staff and visitors objected to this move, believing the aircraft should be displayed alongside the B-36 to properly represent its original design intentions.[36]
46-0524 – Strategic Air and Space Museum in Ashland, Nebraska. It was originally transferred to the Norton Air Force Base (near San Bernardino, California) in 1950, still in a damaged state after its last emergency landing. When the base museum was closed and its collection dispersed, the second XF-85 prototype languished in an unrestored condition as part of the Tallmantz private collection in California, until being acquired by Offutt AFB. It is now refurbished and displayed on its ground-handling trestle, nestled under the wing of a B-36J bomber (serial number 52-2217).[37]

Kišava, (, ) is a village in the municipality of Bitola, North Macedonia. It used to be part of the former municipality of Bistrica.

Demographics and History
Kišava is populated by Muslim Albanians. From the 1950s onward, people from Kišava began migrating to nearby settlements like Medžitlija or going abroad to other countries for better opportunities.

As of the 2021 census, Kišava had 185 residents with the following ethnic composition:
Albanians 169
Persons for whom data are taken from administrative sources 16

According to the 2002 census, the village had a total of 308 inhabitants. Ethnic groups in the village include:
Albanians 307
Macedonians 1

From 1963 onward, Albanians from Kišava migrated to Dandenong, a south-eastern Melbourne suburb in Victoria, Australia. Dandenong is home to a large diaspora from Kišava and various landmarks are named after the village like Dandenong's Albanian mosque, Keshava Reserve, a park honouring Albanian immigration to the area and Keshava Grove, a residential street.

In 2020, some members of the Kišava diaspora from Dandenong organised an ongoing annual festival Takimet e Keshavës (Kišava gathering) in Kišava, and is attended by the diaspora during their summer holidays in the village.

Apple Quietly Increases iPad Pro Prices
While we were all distracted by the iPhone X unveiling yesterday, Apple increased the price of the iPad Pro without telling anyone.
By Matthew Humphries
Yesterday was an expensive day for anyone living within the Apple ecosystem. You're probably going to want an iPhone X, which will cost at least $999, and at least $1,198 if you plan on getting AppleCare+.
If the iPhone X is out of your price range, you'll likely want an iPhone 8, a wireless charger, and one of those new Apple Watch Series 3 with cellular. What Apple didn't mention, though, is that the iPad Pro is now more expensive even though it hasn't been refreshed.
As MacRumors reports, while we were all distracted by the iPhone X unveiling yesterday, Apple increased the price of the iPad Pro without telling anyone. The 64GB models of both the 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro remains the same at $649 and $799, respectively. However, the 256GB and 512GB models of both tablets are now pricier.
For the 10.5-inch iPad Pro, the 256GB now costs $799 (up from $749) and the 512GB model costs $999 (up from $949). For the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, the 256GB model now costs $949 (up from $899) and the 512GB model costs $1,149 (up from $1,099). In all cases, the cellular models add another $130.
Although Apple hasn't explained the price increase, it clearly seems linked to the cost of memory. Rather than eat any cost increase internally, Apple decided to protect its profit margins and pass it on to the customer, confident that we'll keep on buying tablets.
iPad Pro Is the Fastest Tablet Ever
For anyone who was about to buy an iPad Pro, this will come as a blow, but you may be able to avoid the price hike if you are quick. Check other retailers to see if they have stock offered with the old pricing. Alternatively, consider whether you could live with a 64GB model and avoid the increase completely while still buying direct from Apple.

Netflix Curse Strikes Australian Open As All 10 Players Featured In 'Break Point' Are Out Of Tournament
By webmasteraccess_time1 week agochat_bubble_outlineLeave a comment
Netflix released the first five episodes of 'Break Point' In January
The Australian Open 2022 has thrown classic causation versus correlation conundrum, after all the ten players who featured in the latest Netflix Docuseries, Break Point failed to reach beyond the fourth round in Melbourne. Whether these players lost because they were featured in the docuseries, or it was just a wild coincidence is something that will never be known. But it surely makes up for a spicy read.
When Felix Auger-Aliassime, a player featured in Break Point, was asked about the Netflix Curse, he said, "I don't think it's connected, anyhow." A couple of days later, his words will come back to bite him, after his journey ended with a surprising defeat to a 21-year-old Jiri Lehecka in the fourth round.
If the main objective of Break Point was to hype up the next-gen players, who remain under the sprawling shadow of the Big Three – Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic – safe to say it has failed big time. Many of them were favorites to make it to the deep end of the season's first grand slam, but none of them could last for the second week in Melbourne.
Nick Kyrgios pulled out of the tournament after sustaining a knee injury, while his compatriot and old friend Thanasi Kokkinakis' journey was cut short by Andy Murray, who battled out for over five hours to win the five-setter. Previously, Murray wiped
another Break Point star Matteo Berrettini in the first round of the competition.

Ajla Tomljanović, the top-ranked Australian, also withdrew her name because of injury, while the world number six Maria Sakkari's campaign ended with a third-round defeat to Zhu Lin. Paula Badosa too suffered a fate similar to Kyrgios and Tomljanovic. The biggest upset of the tournament, however, came in the second round when Ons Jabeur
was knocked out by Marketa Vondrousova.
With Nadal getting knocked out early, Casper Ruud was the favorite to win his maiden grand slam, but he blew up in the second round against Jansen Brooksby. Taylor Fritz, the highest-ranked American in men's tennis, also got pummelled by the homeboy
Alexei Popyrin. Netflix intends to release the next five episodes of the docuseries during the grass season. Players who are featured in the upcoming episodes must be worried about their fate in Wimbledon.

Thousands of people from around the globe bet on sports for a number of reasons. Many of them do it for pure fun or to make the game more exciting, whilst some do it for money. Well, whatever your reason for betting on sports, it is important to remember that despite what many have known, sports betting is not really a "get-rich-quick-scheme". If you want to succeed or win consistently, you need to exert hard work, and consider solid preparation, enough understanding of the game you are betting on, strong management skills, and of course discipline.
When thinking about sports betting, it is extremely crucial to obtain a really good idea of your work, a start at GertGambell.net is great. As often said, jumping into sports betting with no proper understanding of the scheme as well as the game is suicidal. You will just be risking your money. So if you dont possess the knowledge, then dont proceed until you aren't yet knowledgeable www.bettingoddsexplain.com enough. Go to someone that does comprehend the nature of sports betting, or read some books or articles online about sports betting. And, if you are planning to wager on a particular sport, like football for example, make sure you know all you can regarding this.
A proper management of your capital plays an extremely crucial role in every single gambling game. This is no doubt probably the most important aspect of betting on sports, but is also somehow one of the most neglected. Well, so far as I understand the character of sports betting, the first step to strong management of your capital is always to ensure that that you are not going to bet more than what you can afford to lose.
This is simply among the best sports betting tips I could offer you. The most important thing to keep in mind when betting on sports is to save an area for your additional cash for betting. To put it simply, make an effort to put aside a particular portion of your money for betting and if possible stay with that bankroll, win or lose.
Note that although you bet on sports for money, winning money on sports is actually not a sprint. Based on psychological studies, should you bet your complete bankroll on one game and you lose, then chances are you are likely to chase your losses. But, if you attempted to spread your bankroll among several smaller bets and you also succeeded in doing so, you are more likely to generate a profit in the long run,but only if you do the proper homework. If you are thinking of chasing your losses, dont do it. As what many experts have said, there is no worse method to mismanage your bankroll than to chase your bets following a losing day.
This particular one of the important sports betting tips cant be stressed enough. One thing to remember here is that it is very easy to lose control when betting on sports, especially after a few tough losses. So if you find yourself losing more cash in betting on sports, try to disciple yourself. Dont get upset or double or triple your bets for this may only dig you deeper into losing.

The team has named Kevin Pu Jun Jin from China and local driver Tin Sritrai to drive its pair of SEAT León cars in Thailand.
The 31-year old Pu returns at the wheel of a front-wheel drive touring car three years after his maiden racing season in the Volkswagen Scirocco Cup China; in latest years Pu split his racing activity between single seaters and sportscars with brilliant results. "I have been looking to competing in TCR and I am very happy to get this opportunity. I never drove the SEAT Léon before and Buriram's circuit is new to me. Nevertheless I will be aiming to perform my best at this event, hoping to finish on the podium in the TCR Asia and fight with the best of the international field," he said.
Sritrai is facing his first appearance in an international series, but he can claim perfect knowledge of the Buriram circuit, as he leaves nearby. On top of this he is an experienced touring car driver in spite of his young age (25), having grabbed four titles in the Touring Car Series Asia and two in the Super 2000 class of the Thai Super Series in the last four years. "This will be a new challenge for me. The SEAT is a front-wheel drive turbo car; very different from what I am used to drive. I'm not going to know what to expect until I get out there on Friday and get a proper feeling of it. It's going to be a great experience though and I'm going out to do a good job in front of my home fans," Sritrai stated.
