Ajax (programming) With Ajax, web applications can send data to, and retrieve data from, a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page

Ajax (programming) Ajax is not a single technology, but a group of technologies. HTML and CSS can be used in combination to mark up and style information. The DOM is accessed with JavaScript to dynamically display, and allow the user to interact with, the information presented. JavaScript and the XMLHttpRequest object provide a method for exchanging data asynchronously between browser and server to avoid full page reloads.

Ajax (programming) History
In the 1990s, most web sites were based on complete HTML pages

In 1998, Microsoft Outlook Web Access team implemented the first component XMLHTTP by client script.

In 1999, Microsoft utilized its iframe technology to dynamically update the news stories and stock quotes on the default page for Internet Explorer, and created the XMLHTTP ActiveX control in Internet Explorer 5, which was later adopted by Mozilla, Safari, Opera and other browsers as the XMLHttpRequest JavaScript object

The term Ajax was coined on 18 February 2005 by Jesse James Garrett in an article entitled "Ajax: A New Approach to Web Applications", based on techniques used on Google pages.

On 5 April 2006, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) released the first draft specification for the XMLHttpRequest object in an attempt to create an official web standard.

Ajax (programming) Technologies
The term Ajax has come to represent a broad group of web technologies that can be used to implement a web application that communicates with a server in the background, without interfering with the current state of the page. In the article that coined the term Ajax, Jesse James Garrett explained that the following technologies are incorporated:

The Document Object Model (DOM) for dynamic display of and interaction with data

XML for the interchange of data, and XSLT for its manipulation

The XMLHttpRequest object for asynchronous communication

Since then however there have been a number of developments in the technologies used in an Ajax application, and the definition of the term Ajax. XML is not required for data interchange and therefore XSLT is not required for the manipulation of data. JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is often used as an alternative format for data interchange, although other formats such as preformatted HTML or plain text can also be used.

Asynchronous HTML and HTTP (AHAH) involves using XMLHTTPRequest to retrieve (X)HTML fragments which are then inserted directly into the web page.

Ajax (programming) Drawbacks
A workaround implemented by Ajax techniques is to change the URL fragment identifier (the part of a URL after the '#') when an Ajax-enabled page is accessed and monitor it for changes

Dynamic web page updates also make it difficult to bookmark and return to a particular state of the application. Solutions to this problem exist, many of which again use the URL fragment identifier. The solution provided by HTML5 for the above problem also applies for this.

Depending on the nature of the Ajax application, dynamic page updates may interfere disruptively with user interactions, especially if working on an unstable Internet connection. For instance, editing a search field may trigger a query to the server for search completions, but the user may not know that a search completion popup is forthcoming, and if the internet connection is slow, the popup list may show up at an inconvenient time, when the user has already proceeded to do something else.

Because most web crawlers do not execute JavaScript code, publicly indexable web applications should provide an alternative means of accessing the content that would normally be retrieved with Ajax, thereby allowing search engines to index it.

This can be achieved by making sure links and forms can be resolved properly and not relying solely on Ajax.

Similarly, some web applications which use Ajax are built in a way that cannot be read by screen-reading technologies, such as JAWS. The WAI-ARIA standards provide a way to provide hints in such a case.

Screen readers that are able to use Ajax may still not be able to properly read the dynamically generated content.

The same origin policy prevents some Ajax techniques from being used across domains, although the W3C has a draft of the XMLHttpRequest object that would enable this functionality. Methods exist to sidestep this security feature by using a special Cross Domain Communications channel embedded as an iframe within a page, or by the use of JSONP.

The asynchronous callback-style of programming required can lead to complex code that is hard to maintain, to debug and to test.

Ajax (programming) Example
Here is an example of a simple Ajax request using the GET method.

xhr.onreadystatechange = function(){

// Ready state 4 means the request is done

alert(xhr.responseText); // 'This is the returned text.'

alert('Error: '+xhr.status); // An error occurred during the request

alert(xhr.responseText); // Returns 'This is the returned text.'

Ajax (programming) jQuery example
Does the same thing as the JavaScript in get-ajax-data.js but this time leveraging the pre-written $.get in jQuery.

$.get('send-ajax-data.php', function(data) {

//Example for JQuery Hello World <html> <head> <title>jQuery Hello World</title>

$(document).ready(function(){

Google Code - Ajax APIs Google's Ajax APIs let a developer implement rich, dynamic websites entirely in JavaScript and HTML. A developer can create a map to a site, a dynamic search box, or download feeds with just a few lines of JavaScript.

False flag - Operation Ajax
The replacement of Iran's Anglo-Persian Oil Company with five American oil companies and the 1953 Iranian coup d'état was the consequence of the U.S. and British-orchestrated false flag operation, Operation Ajax. Operation Ajax used political intrigue, propaganda, and agreements with Qashqai tribal leaders to depose the democratically elected leader of Iran, Mohammed Mosaddeq. Information regarding the CIA-sponsored coup d'etat has been largely declassified and is available in the CIA archives.

JSON - Use in Ajax When it was originally described in the mid-2000s, Ajax commonly used XML as the data interchange format but many developers have also used JSON to pass Ajax updates between the server and the client.

JSON - Use in Ajax The following JavaScript code is one example of a client using XMLHttpRequest to request data in JSON format from a server. (The server-side programming is omitted; it must be set up to respond to requests at url with a JSON-formatted string.)

http_request.onreadystatechange = function () {
JSON - Use in Ajax http_request.onreadystatechange = function () {

if (http_request.readyState == done && http_request.status == ok) {
JSON - Use in Ajax if (http_request.readyState == done && http_request.status == ok) {

Spam in blogs - AJAX Some blog software such as Typo allow the blog administrator to allow only comments submitted via AJAX XMLHttpRequests, and discard regular form POST requests. This causes accessibility problems typical to AJAX-only applications like its behaviour on browsers with no Javascript support or where it has been explicitly disabled.

Spam in blogs - AJAX Although this technique largely prevents spam, it is a form of security by obscurity and can easily be defeated if it becomes popular enough, since it essentially is just a different encoding of the same form data.

Web application framework - Ajax
Ajax (programming)|Ajax, shorthand for Asynchrony|Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is a web development technique for creating web applications. The intent is to make web pages feel more responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user requests a change. This is intended to increase a web page's interactivity, speed, and usability.

Due to the complexity of Ajax programming in JavaScript, there are numerous Ajax frameworks that exclusively deal with Ajax support. Some Ajax frameworks are even embedded as a part of larger frameworks. For example, the jQuery JavaScript library is included in Ruby on Rails.

These compilers and their associated widget set libraries make the development of rich media Ajax applications much more akin to that of developing desktop applications.

Prototype JavaScript Framework - The Ajax object
In an effort to reduce the amount of code needed to run a cross-browser XMLHttpRequest function, Prototype provides the Ajax object to abstract the different browsers. It has two main methods: Ajax.Request() and Ajax.Updater().

There are two forms of the Ajax object. Ajax.Request returns the raw XML output from an AJAX call, while the Ajax.Updater will inject the return inside a specified DOM object.

The Ajax.Request below finds the current values of two HTML form input elements, issues an HTTP POST request to the server with those element name/value pairs, and runs a custom function (called showResponse below) when the HTTP response is received from the server:

new Ajax.Request( ,

onFailure: showError

// The initialize method serves as a constructor

initialize: function ()

The framework function Object.extend(dest, src) takes two objects as parameters and copies the properties of the second object to the first one simulating inheritance. The combined object is also returned as a result from the function. As in the example above, the first parameter usually creates the base object, while the second is an anonymous object used solely for defining additional properties. The entire sub-class declaration happens within the parentheses of the function call.

Web Atoms - Simple AJAX (AtomPromise)
In order to provide simple interface to JavaScript promises to implement AJAX and similar asynchronous functionality, Web Atoms has incorporated AtomPromise in the property system, which lets us assign promise in simple expression, but it will do the complex event wiring automatically

Web Atoms - Simple AJAX (AtomPromise)
The following example is pretty self-explanatory that we are loading list of countries from the given url 'country-list.json'

AFC Ajax - History Ajax was founded in Amsterdam on 18 March With five national championships (1931, 1932, 1934, 1937, 1939), Ajax was the most successful Dutch team of the nineteen thirties. In 1955, professional football was finally permitted in the Netherlands. Ajax achieved their first Eredivisie championship in 1957 and again in 1960.

AFC Ajax - History Ajax won the championship in 1966 and 1967, scoring a record breaking 122 goals including 33 from Johan Cruyff|Johan Cruijff, and again in 1968, and reached the European Cup final of 1969 against A.C. Milan. In 1969–70 Ajax won the Dutch league championship, winning 27 out of 34 games and scoring 100 goals.

AFC Ajax - History The 1971 European Cup final saw Ajax beat Panathinaikos F.C.|Panathinaikos 2–0 with goals from Dick van Dijk and Arie Haan. Ajax completed the treble of European Cup, Dutch National Championship and the KNVB Cup in 1972 before adding the Intercontinental Cup (football)|Intercontinental Cup. In 1973, Ajax won a third consecutive European Cup and another Dutch championship.

AFC Ajax - History The departure of Johan Cruijff for FC Barcelona in 1973 signalled the end of this period of success. In 1977, Ajax won their first domestic championship since Johan Cruijff returned to the club in 1981, with the club producing some talented youngsters in the mid-1980s such as Marco van Basten and Frank Rijkaard.

AFC Ajax - History Cruijff returned in 1985 as the new manager and Ajax ended the season with 120 goals, of which 37 were from Marco van Basten|van Basten. Ajax won the 1986–87 European Cup Winners' Cup|'87 Cup Winners' Cup and reached the final again the following season. Cruijff departed prior to the second Cup Winners' Cup final and with most of the 80's stars such as van Basten also leaving, Ajax once again declined.

AFC Ajax - History Managed by Louis van Gaal, Ajax won the 1992 UEFA Cup. Dennis Bergkamp scored six goals in the competition and was the top goalscorer in Dutch football in 1991 and 1992.

AFC Ajax - History The following season, Ajax lost to Juventus F.C.|Juventus on penalties in the European Cup final.

AFC Ajax - History However, the subsequent period saw the departure of manager van Gaal along with an exodus of many key players including Clarence Seedorf in 1995; Edgar Davids, Michael Reiziger, Finidi George, and Nwankwo Kanu in 1996; Patrick Kluivert, Marc Overmars, and Winston Bogarde in 1997; Ronald de Boer and Frank de Boer in 1998; and Edwin van der Sar and Jari Litmanen in 1999.

AFC Ajax - Youth program
Ajax also regularly supplies the Dutch national youth teams with local talent

Due to mutual agreements with foreign clubs, the youth academy has also signed foreign players as teenagers before making first team debuts, such as Belgian defensive trio Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld and Thomas Vermaelen along with winger Tom de Mul, all of whom are full internationals as well as Dutch international Vurnon Anita as well as Javier Martina from Curaçao.

There are some youth players from Ajax Cape Town that have been drafted into the Eredivisie squad, such as South African internationals Steven Pienaar, Thulani Serero and Cameroonian international Eyong Enoh.

In 1995, the year Ajax won the UEFA Champions League|Champions League, the Netherlands national football team|Dutch national team was almost entirely composed of Ajax players, with Edwin van der Sar in goal; players such as Michael Reiziger, Frank de Boer, and Danny Blind in defense; Ronald de Boer, Edgar Davids, and Clarence Seedorf in midfield; and Patrick Kluivert and Marc Overmars in attack.

Eddie van Schaik heads the organization as coach and consultant, introducing the Ajax football philosophy at the various Greek football training camps.

The following is a summary of major changes in the past several decades:

this has ultimately contributed to the population increase in Ajax.

*The town's very auto dependent urban form, as well as that of its neighbour municipalities, has resulted in steady increases in traffic congestion with few realistic alternatives to automobile travel

These northern parts of Ajax namely consist of Rossland road and Taunton road

Ajax, Ontario - Local government

Ajax, Ontario - Transportation
In 1973, the Town of Ajax conducted a survey of potential transit ridership in Ajax. This led to the creation of Ajax Transit with bus service beginning in 1973 under a contract with Charterways Transportation Limited, which operated service using a fleet of school buses, with heaviest ridership between the Pickering Beach area and downtown Ajax.

In the late 1970s, the town brought the operations in house and began operations on the Elm, Duffins, and Beach routes, which exist to this day. In the early 1980s, the Harwood, Westney Heights, and Village routes began service. Service on the Puckrin route began in the late 1980s.

In 2001, Ajax Transit and the neighbouring Pickering Transit were amalgamated into the Ajax-Pickering Transit|Ajax Pickering Transit Authority (APTA), which operated under the joint ownership and oversight of Ajax and Pickering.

In 2006, APTA was amalgamated into Durham Region Transit along with the other municipal transit services in Durham Region.

ASP.NET AJAX 'ASP.NET AJAX' is a set of extensions to ASP.NET developed by Microsoft for implementing Ajax (programming)|Ajax functionality. It is released under the Microsoft Public License (Ms-PL).

ASP.NET AJAX - Clients supporting Ajax
ASP.NET AJAX runs on the following browsers:

ASP.NET AJAX - Clients supporting Ajax

ASP.NET AJAX - Web-services and JSON
ASP.NET AJAX framework brings JSON serialization features to the ASP.NET web-services and allows calling web-services from client-side JavaScript, even using third-party Javascript-libraries like jQuery.

Rich AJAX Platform 'Remote Application Platform' ('RAP', formerly Rich Ajax Platform) Project is an open-source software project under the List of Eclipse projects#Technology projects|Eclipse Technology Project which aims to enable software developers to build Ajax (programming)|Ajax-enabled rich Internet applications by using the Eclipse (software)|Eclipse development model, plugins and a Java (programming language)|Java-only application programming interface (API)

ColdBox Platform - Ajax support
ColdBox supports all JavaScript frameworks that provide Ajax capabilities. It also provides an auto-marshalling function to render any object to the following formats natively: XML, WDDX, JSON, JSONP, TEXT, PDF, CUSTOM.

JavaServer Faces - JSF and Ajax
JSF is often used together with Ajax (programming)|Ajax, a Rich Internet application technology. Ajax is a combination of technologies that make it possible to create rich user interfaces. The user interface components in Project Mojarra|Mojarra (the JSF reference implementation) and Apache MyFaces were originally developed for HTML only, and Ajax had to be added via JavaScript. This has changed, however:

Because JSF supports multiple output formats, Ajax-enabled components can easily be added to enrich JSF-based user interfaces. The JSF 2.0 specification provides built in support for Ajax by standardizing the Ajax request lifecycle, and providing simple development interfaces to Ajax events, allowing any event triggered by the client to go through proper validation, conversion, and finally method invocation, before returning the result to the browser via an XML DOM update.

JSF 2 includes support for graceful degradation when JavaScript is disabled in the browser.

JavaServer Faces - Ajax-enabled components and frameworks
* JBoss RichFaces (derived from and replaces Ajax4jsf), Ajax-enabled JSF components for layout, file upload, forms, inputs and many other features.

* ICEfaces, open-source, Java JSF extension framework and Rich Internet application|rich components, Ajax without JavaScript

Microsoft Public License - ASP.Net AJAX Control Toolkit
The ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit is a set of controls and extenders that use AJAX technologies to enable developers to improve the client experience on their web sites. The toolkit is licensed under the Microsoft Public license (MS-PL) and is available on CodePlex, Microsoft’s online community development portal for collaborative software development projects.

Comet (programming) - Ajax with long polling
The browser makes an Ajax-style request to the server, which is kept open until the server has new data to send to the browser, which is sent to the browser in a complete response

Comet (programming) - Ajax with long polling
Specific technologies for accomplishing long-polling include the following:

Bing Maps - AJAX and Silverlight versions
In November 2010, the AJAX and Silverlight versions were combined into a semi-hybrid site where Silverlight features such as Map Apps and Streetside could be enabled through the Bing.com/Maps site - these features still required Silverlight to be installed, but does not require use of a separate Bing Maps site.

The AJAX and Silverlight site share the following features: Road View, Aerial View, Bird’s-Eye View, Sharing Maps, People/Business/Location Search, Building Footprints, Driving Directions, Walking Directions.

Silverlight users exclusively can Map Apps, StreetSide View, Photosynths, and Dynamic Labels.

AJAX Service Bus Current Ajax applications asynchronous|asynchronously communicate with a browser using XMLHttpRequest (XHR)

AJAX Service Bus - Characteristics
The ASB is perpendicular, and connects directly from a browser running an AJAX application into one or more Service-oriented architecture|services running in a datacenter. An Enterprise service bus (ESB) provides horizontal communication between all of those services; an ASB can connect directly into the ESB as it would with a single service and extend the combined functionality to an AJAX application.

AJAX Service Bus - Key benefits
* Supports reliability, security and scalability from the browser to the server.

AJAX Service Bus - Key benefits
* Better manages higher server levels of systemic quality such as performance, manageability, scalability, and reliability.

AJAJ - Similarities with AJAX
Similar to the more popularly used AJAX, AJAJ is executed asynchronously, meaning that it occurs in the background, and does not interrupt the flow of the JavaScript interpreter as it gets read

Ajax framework In web application development, an 'Ajax framework' is a web application framework|framework which leverages Ajax (programming)|Ajax, a collection of technologies for building dynamic web pages on the client side. While data is read from and sent to the server (computing)|server by JavaScript requests, frameworks may include server-side like or client-side components to process the client's requests. The acronym AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML.

1953 Iranian coup d'état - Execution of Operation Ajax
The official pretext for the start of the coup was Mossadegh's decree to dissolve Parliament, giving himself and his cabinet complete power to rule, while effectively stripping the Shah of his powers. It resulted in him being accused of giving himself total and dictatorial powers. The Shah, who had been resisting the CIA's demands for the coup, finally agreed to support it.

Having obtained the Shah's concurrence, the CIA executed the coup.Gasiorowski, M

After the first coup attempt failed, General Zahedi, declaring that he was the rightful prime minister of Iran, shuttled between multiple safe houses attempting to avoid arrest

However, General Zahedi, who was still on the run, met with the pro-Shah Ayatollah Mohammad Behbahani and other Shah supporters in secret

On August 19, hired infiltrators posing as Tudeh party members began to organize a communist revolution

By the middle of the day, large crowds of regular citizens, armed with improvised weapons, took to the streets in mass demonstrations, and beat back the Tudeh party members

The Shah stayed in Italy until he learned that the coup removed Mossadegh. Allen Dulles, the director of the CIA, flew back with the Shah from Rome to Tehran.What's Behind the Crises in Iran and Afghanistan by E Ahmed—1980 Zahedi officially replaced Mosaddegh. Mossadegh was arrested, tried, and originally sentenced to death. But on the Shah's personal orders, his sentence was commuted to three years' solitary confinement in a military prison, followed by house arrest until his death.

Trojan War - Ajax and a game of petteia
Ajax (mythology)|Ajax son of Telamon laid waste the Thracian peninsula of which Polymestor, a son-in-law of Priam, was king. Polymestor surrendered Polydorus (son of Priam)|Polydorus, one of Priam's children, of whom he had custody. He then attacked the town of the Phrygian king Teleutas, killed him in single combat and carried off his daughter Tecmessa.Dictis Cretensis ii. 18; Sophocles, Ajax 210. Ajax also hunted the Trojan flocks, both on Mount Ida and in the countryside.

Trojan War - Ajax and a game of petteia
At some point in the war Achilles and Ajax were playing a board game (petteia).[ Petteia.][ Greek Board Games.] They were absorbed in the game and oblivious to the surrounding battle.[ Latrunculi.] The Trojans attacked and reached the heroes, who were only saved by an intervention of Athena.Kakrides vol

Ajax (Disney) The 'Mickey Mouse universe' is a fictional universe where some cartoon characters created by the The Walt Disney Company live, the most famous of which is Mickey Mouse. It is coexistent with the Duck universe, a Spin-off (media)|spin-off of the Mickey Mouse universe which centers around Mickey's friend Donald Duck and his rich uncle Scrooge McDuck. Mickey Mouse universe is not an official term used by Disney.

Ajax (Disney) Since 1990, the actual city in which Mickey lives is most often called Mouseton and is often seen as the city next to Duck universe#Duckburg|Duckburg, Donald's hometown. According to traditional continuity, both cities are located in the List of fictional U.S. states|fictional U.S. state of Calisota, a portmanteau of California and Minnesota. The Mickey Mouse universe is also a Parallel universe (fiction)|parallel universe and characters often visit real-world places and meet historical figures.

Ajax (Disney) - Continuity development
The Mickey Mouse universe essentially originated with the debut of Mickey himself in Although Mickey's stories included the character Pete (Disney)|Pete, who was created in Alice Solves the Puzzle|1925, the world in which Mickey lives holds a Continuity (fiction)|continuity largely independent from earlier films. An exception to this was the reintroduction of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in 2010 with the release of Epic Mickey.

In 1930, Disney began a newspaper strip called Mickey Mouse which greatly expanded Mickey's world which was already well-known from the animated cartoons

One way the comics writers explained this discrepancy was to present the characters as real cartoon characters who are employed by Disney as actors

Animation historian David Gerstein has noted that although the characters will appear in different settings and sometimes even change their names (Mickey's Christmas Carol), the characters are still themselves and behave in a way consistent with their natures.[ The Mickey Mouse Universe Guide] by David Gerstein

Ajax (Disney) - Mickey's farm
In Plane Crazy (1928), the first produced Mickey Mouse story, Mickey is seen at a farm. In all of his early films Mickey is in a rural setting, but most commonly at a farm. This setting was succinctly presented in the first sentences of one of Mickey's first storybooks:

Ajax (Disney) - Mickey's farm
In the Mickey Mouse newspaper strip, Mickey's farm was most likely located in the midwestern United States, as indicated by characters' comments to have arrived out west to Death Valley and to go back east to conduct business, etc

Ajax (Disney) - Mouseton
Mickey appeared in an urban setting as early as 1931 in the short film Traffic Troubles where he works as a taxi driver

In 1990, Disney Comics Inc

Mouseton's location in Calisota and its positioning with regard to Duckburg (the cities being next to one another) were the subject of speculation early on, but have generally been treated consistently in American publications from 2003 onward.Example: Back From the Brink, Walt Disney's Comics and Stories 661 (2005); Mouseton and Duckburg are identified and seen side-by-side as characters fly overhead.

In Disney comics published by Egmont (media group)|Egmont (Scandinavia) and Editora Abril|Abril (Brazil), Mickey lives in Duckburg—even though Mickey and Donald only rarely team up in shared comics adventures

In Germany, the Netherlands, Brazil and Scandinavia, local tradition has it that Mickey's hometown is simply a different district of Duckburg. In Disney theme parks, the Roger Rabbit-inspired Toontown, a district in Los Angeles specifically for cartoon characters, is presented as Mickey's home.

Ajax (Disney) - Non-Mouseton continuity
In some 1920s and 1930s Disney press releases and magazines, Mickey was described as living in Hollywood—even though the rural setting of the actual cartoons and comics had little in common with the actual Hollywood.

In the film Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip (1940) Mickey and Pluto live in the real world city of Burbank, California, home of Walt Disney Studios (Burbank)|Walt Disney Studios.

In Kingdom Hearts and its sequel Kingdom Hearts II, both the Mouseton and Duckburg characters live in a realm called Disney Castle.

Ajax (Disney) - Main characters
'Mickey Mouse' (Mickey Mouse family|family) is the main protagonist. Mickey is an anthropomorphic mouse most often dressed in gloves, red shorts and yellow shoes. While typically given a modest and pleasant personality, he is often an enthusiastic and determined character, seeking new adventures, excitement and mysteries. He often serves as the de facto leader of his friends.

'Minnie Mouse' is Mickey's female counterpart, usually portrayed as his girlfriend. Originally characterized as a flapper, Minnie has often played Mickey's damsel in distress.

'Donald Duck' is Mickey's best friend, though sometimes he serves as a playful antagonist. Donald is a short bipedal Duck, best characterized by his sailor's outfit, his often-unintelligible speech and his incredible temper. Donald's stories are often characterzed by his incredible bad luck, often brought about by his own actions. He dates Daisy Duck and is the Uncle and sometimes primary caretaker of the duck brothers Huey, Dewey and Louie.

'Daisy Duck' is Donald Duck's girlfriend. Compared to most Disney characters, Daisy's personality is heavily subject to interpretation of the era, though she is typically portrayed as a pro-active female. Typically understanding of Donald's irascible personality, she will never fail to stand up to him should he go too far. In most stories she appears as Minnie's best friend.

'Goofy' is Mickey and Donald's dim-witted but good-natured friend. Goofy is a tall bipedal and Accident-proneness|klutzy dog. In some stories he dates Clarabelle Cow while other times he is shown as a single parent.

'Clarabelle Cow' is a tall, bipedal cow who is Minnie Mouse's friend. She is prone to gossip and occasionally plays a well-meaning but ineffective parent figure to Donald Duck. She has been known to date both Horace Horsecollar and Goofy.

'Horace Horsecollar' is a tall, usually bipedal horse who is Mickey Mouse's friend. He is prone to bragging and practical joking. Before the appearance of Donald Duck and Goofy, Horace was Mickey Mouse's usual sidekick. He is often seen as the boyfriend of Clarabelle Cow.

'Pluto (Disney)|Pluto' is Mickey Mouse's pet dog. Unlike Goofy, Pluto is portrayed as walking on four legs and almost never speaks.

'Figaro (Disney)|Figaro' is a small black and white house cat. Introduced in the film Pinocchio (1940 film)|Pinocchio, Figaro later appears as Minnie's pet.

'Pete (Disney)|Pete' (also called 'Peg-Leg Pete' and 'Black Pete') is an anthropomorphic cat and a common antagonist. His character ranges from a hardened criminal to an ethical menace. In the comics he at times plays one half of a villainous duo with Sylvester Shyster.

'Phantom Blot' is a mysterious enemy of Mickey Mouse. He wears a body-length black sheet. An altered, monstrous version of the character, known as the Shadow Blot, serves as the antagonist of the first Epic Mickey game.

'Oswald the Lucky Rabbit' is a black rabbit and Mickey Mouse's half-brother. He plays an opponent in the noncomics continuity of Epic Mickey

Ajax (Disney) - Chief O'Hara
Seamus O'Hara is the chief of police in the Mickey Mouse universe. He plays a supportive role in Mickey Mouse's comic-book mysteries, often relying on Mickey's help to catch characters such as Pete (Disney)|Pete, Phantom Blot and the like. Known fellow officers include his friend, #Detective Casey|Detective Casey.

O'Hara also appeared on Mickey Mouse Works and Disney's House of Mouse.

The character was conceived by Floyd Gottfredson (and Merrill De Maris) for Walt Disney Pictures|Disney as a stereotypical Irish cop

In Italian stories O'Hara has a wife called Petulia.

Ajax (Disney) - Detective Casey
Detective Casey (sometimes Inspector Casey) is Chief O'Hara (Disney Comics)|Chief O'Hara's head detective, first appearing in the Mickey Mouse daily comic in the 1938 sequence The Plumber's Helper. The story was plotted and penciled by Floyd Gottfredson and written by Merrill De Maris. Casey disappeared from American comics in the 1950s, but was used frequently in Europe, especially in Italy, afterwards; from 2003, he returned as a frequent player in the American comics once again.

Ajax (Disney) - Detective Casey
Despite his occupation, Casey is an impatient man of only average intelligence. Thus, while sometimes a successful detective, he is prone to bungling cases as well. Therefore, Chief O'Hara often recruits Mickey Mouse to help solve some of Casey's cases, much to Casey's general irritation.

Ajax (Disney) - Eega Beeva
Eega Beeva, also known by his proper name Pittisborum Psercy Pystachi Pseter Psersimmon Plummer-Push, is a human from the future, sometimes also referred to as an Extraterrestrial life|alien and first appeared on September 26, 1947 in the Mickey Mouse comic strip storyline titled The Man of Tomorrow

Eega Beeva was created by Bill Walsh (producer)|Bill Walsh and Floyd Gottfredson

In his debut story, Mickey Mouse and his friend Goofy seek shelter from a thunderstorm and get lost in a cave

In the next comic strip storyline starring Eega Beeva, Mickey Makes a Killing, his pet Pflip the Thnuckle Booh is introduced

When Eega Beeva was still featured in the American comic strips, he made his first appearance in an Italian Disney comic

Eega Beeva is depicted as a humanoid being with a wide head, mitten-like hands and a scrawny body

In the most recent Italian stories (post-2000), Italian writers have generally reverted to Gottfredson's original conception of Eega as a future-man, though his precise year of origin is rarely mentioned. New Eega comics produced by Egmont Publishing|Egmont, on the other hand, often refer to his hometown as being the Mouseton of 2447—just as in Gottfredson's original stories.

Ajax (Disney) - Mortimer Mouse
Two different characters in Mickey's world carry the name Mortimer Mouse. One is the uncle of Minnie Mouse; another is an unrelated mouse who was Mickey's rival for Minnie's affections. Mickey Mouse himself was originally going to be named Mortimer; however, Lillian Disney, Walt's wife, suggested the name Mickey instead.

The first Mortimer was created by Walt Disney and Floyd Gottfredson for the comics. He was Minnie Mouse's ranch-owning cattleman uncle. He first appeared in the serial Mickey Mouse in Death Valley (1930). After that, he appeared or was referenced in many other Mickey Mouse comic strip adventures in the 1930s. He has occasionally appeared in more modern comics.

In the 1936 cartoon short Mickey's Rival, the second Mortimer was introduced as Mickey's competitor for Minnie's affections

In House of Mouse and Mickey Mouse Works, Mortimer as Mickey's rival is voiced by Maurice LaMarche, doing an exaggerated impersonation of Jon Lovitz

Ajax (Disney) - Doctor Einmug
'Doctor Einmug' is a scientist who was created by Ted Osborne (plot) and Floyd Gottfredson (plot and art) in the story Island in the Sky, published in the Mickey Mouse daily strip from November 1936 to April He is a large man who wears a big white beard and laboratory coat.

Doctor Einmug specializes in atomic physics and speaks in a German-like accent which was probably a nod towards Albert Einstein. His introductory story, Island in the Sky, raises many issues about the benefits but also the dangers of atomic physics just a few years before the first atom bombs were developed.

After that, Einmug did not re-appear in American comics for almost 50 years, but he was used in Italian ones, starting some 12 years later in 1959 when he appeared in Romano Scarpa's Topolino e la dimensione Delta (Mickey Mouse and the Delta Dimension). In this story he had discovered the means to travel to what he called the Delta Dimension, which was effectively an infinite void of nothing, just space.

Setting his laboratory up in the Delta Dimension, Einmug pursued his work and discovered that atoms were in fact living beings

Einmug himself has also appeared in numerous European Mickey Mouse comics. He is often shown as less secretive and paranoid than in his original appearance, though his discoveries are still coveted by the likes of Pete (Disney)|Pete and the Phantom Blot.

Einmug reappeared in American comics in 1991 in the story A Snatch in Time! in which he had developed a time machine. It was written by Lamar Waldron and drawn by Rick Hoover and Gary Martin. More recently, Einmug has also appeared in American editions of The Delta Dimension and other European-made stories.

In American comics, Atomo Bleep-Bleep speaks with a German accent identical to Einmug's, insofar as Einmug was presented as Atomo's language teacher.

Ajax (Disney) - Ellsworth
'Ellsworth' started out as Goofy's pet mynah bird but in later stories he became an independent anthropomorphic animal. His full name being Ellsworth Bheezer (occasionally misspelled Bhezer—beezer is old English slang for a big nose or beak). He was created for the Mickey Mouse Sunday pages, but has been used in longer comics as well, especially the ones produced in Italy, France and Brazil.

Ellsworth usually wears a red-orange shirt and a green cap or beret. Reflecting a trait of mynah birds who can imitate human speech, he is extremely vain and self-centered, which was originally the spotlight and center of jokes in his stories. On the other hand, Ellsworth is also a bonafide genius with awesome tech and scientific knowledge—the Y on his shirt in earlier stories stands for Yarvard (a parody of Harvard University|Harvard), his alma mater.

Despite being more or less entirely humanized in more recent stories, Ellsworth retains his ability to fly, a unique trait among the central Disney funny animal cast.

In manner, Ellsworth is often sarcastic and condescending, typically addressing others with statements like Let's not [do X], shall we? He's also quick to call others by insulting nicknames. But when push comes to shove, he's genuinely fond of and defensive of his pals Goofy and Mickey.

'Bruto' (original Italian name; he has no English name) is Ellsworth's somewhat smaller adoptive son and Mickey Mouse's sidekick in numerous Italian stories. As of 2009, he has not appeared in United States|American comic books.

Ajax (Disney) - Sylvester Shyster
'Sylvester Shyster' is a crooked lawyer and evil criminal mastermind who generally teams up with Peg-Leg Pete. The character has been described by some as a weasel or a rat (the latter being Gottfredson's own interpretation), but his ears suggest that he is rather an anthropomorphic Canidae|canine. His name in Italy|Italian translations is Lupo, meaning Wolf, even though he is clearly not one.

He first appeared in the comic strip adventure Mickey Mouse in Death Valley, the first real Mickey Mouse continuity, which was partially written by Walt Disney and drawn by Win Smith (artist)|Win Smith and other artists, before being taken over by Floyd Gottfredson (plot and art). In this story, Sylvester Shyster was a crooked lawyer who attempted, with the help of his henchman Pete, to deprive Minnie Mouse of her inheritance.

Shyster and Pete have been causing trouble for Mickey and his friends since then. Shyster is generally depicted as the duo's brain, with Pete acting as the brawn. He is probably the only person Pete will listen to without rebellion.

After Shyster's first appearance, Gottfredson made no further references to his profession as a lawyer, apart from his name; one might theorize, though it is not canon, that Shyster was disbarred due to his arrest and imprisonment at the end of Mickey Mouse in Death Valley. Later creators occasionally referenced Shyster's role as a lawyer, with one story (Trial and Error, 2007) forcing Shyster to defend Mickey himself in an overseas courtroom.

Shyster disappeared for a time after 1934, but made comebacks in 1942, 1950 and again in various 1960s Italian-created stories. More recently, publisher Egmont (media group)|Egmont Creative A/S (in Denmark) revived Shyster as a regular character, a capacity in which he continues today.

In Race to the South Seas (March of Comics #41, 1949), a Donald Duck story by Carl Barks, a variant of Shyster appeared as Scrooge McDuck's lawyer, but his appearance differed from that in the Mickey Mouse strip and he was not depicted as a villain in that story.

Ajax (Disney) - The Sleuth
'The Sleuth' is an anthropomorphic Dog|canine

The Sleuth is a good-natured gentleman; wearing a deerstalker hat, smoking a smoking pipe (tobacco)|pipe and using a magnifying glass, he is an obvious parody of Sherlock Holmes, Mickey basically playing the part of Dr

The Sleuth's constant foes are Professor Nefarious (a parody of Professor Moriarty), a London-based teacher of crime and his three henchmen-pupils Fliplip, Sidney and Armadillo

Apart from Mickey — and of course, the reader — no one seems to be aware of the Sleuth's utter incompetence. Nefarious considers the Sleuth — not Mickey — as his greatest enemy. Why Mickey would keep being the assistant of such an inept detective is never explained.

Mickey and the Sleuth stories were produced up until the late 1980s.

Ajax (Disney) - Eli Squinch
'Eli Squinch' is an evil miser who sometimes teams up with Pete (Disney)|Black Pete in the Mickey Mouse comics. He first appeared in Bobo the Elephant (1934) as the abusive owner of an elephant which Mickey later forced Squinch to sell him. In his second appearance, Race to Riches (1935), he teams up with Black Pete for the first time against Mickey and Horace Horsecollar.

Squinch has gone on to appear in additional Disney stories up to the present day, though generally only one story every couple of years—while a recognized character, Squinch seems never to have been one of the most popular villains.

Squinch's most recent United States appearance was in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #689 (2008), published by Gemstone Publishing|Gemstone.

Ajax (Disney) - Doctor Vulter
'Doctor Vulter' is a villain featured in Mickey Mouse comics. He was created by Ted Osborne (plot) and Floyd Gottfredson (plot and art) in the story Mickey Mouse and the Pirate Submarine, published in the Mickey Mouse daily strip from September 1935 to January 1936.

Dr

Vulter's Germanic-sounding name, his uniform and monocle, as well as his plans of world domination and militaristic gang, are obvious echoes of the Nazi menace of the time.

After being defeated by Mickey, Vulter never appeared again in United States|American stories

Ajax (Disney) - Gideon Goat
'Gideon Goat' or 'Giddy Goat' is an anthropomorphic goat, a supporting character in the Mickey Mouse comic strips of the 1930s

Promotional materials for the 1935 animated short The Band Concert include Giddy Goat as one of the characters. In the released film, however, he was replaced by a dog trombonist character.

Floyd Gottfredson made regular use of the character in his comic strips and later artists sometimes borrowed the character.

Ajax (Disney) - Arizona Goof
'Arizona Goof' (original Italian name: 'Indiana Pipps') is an archaeology|archaeologist and a cousin of Goofy

Arizona Goof received his English name in his first American comics appearance (1991). In a couple of appearances, the character was inexplicably renamed Arizona Dipp. But more recent uses (Disney Digicomics, 2009–2010) have restored his traditional English name.

The character Arizona Goof was created by writer Bruno Sarda and artist Massimo De Vita in 1988, as a spoof of the film character Indiana Jones.

Ajax (Disney) - Kat Nipp
'Kat Nipp' (not to be confused with Harvey Comics character Katnip), his name a play on the word catnip, is a villainous anthropomorphic cat. Kat Nipp is an often-drunk countryside tough guy who is a rival of Mickey Mouse.

Nipp made his debut in the animated short The Opry House (1929), in which he posed as a snake for a snake-charming act—continuing to smoke his pipe all the while. Nipp's other two appearances in animation also came in 1929, with When the Cat's Away (1929 film)|When the Cat's Away and The Karnival Kid. The latter film introduced Nipp's habit of physically abusing Mickey, here by stretching out Mickey's nose to a ridiculous length.

Kat Nipp reappeared in a 1931 sequence of the Mickey Mouse newspaper comic strip (in which we also meet Kat Nipp's friend Barnacle Bill, a sailor who is an expert in untying knots). Kat Nipp was also used in the strips produced in Great Britain|Britain for the Mickey Mouse Annual. However, the character quickly faded away and has made only a handful of comics appearances since the mid-1930s.

Ajax (Disney) - Rock Sassi
'Rock Sassi' (original Italian name; he has no English name) is a plainclothes police officer who usually works together with Detective Casey. He first appeared in the story La lunga notte del commissario Manetta in 1997.[ Rock Sassi] at the INDUCKS

Like Casey, Rock Sassi is a bumbling and incompetent policeman. He is physically more robust than the overweight Casey and likes to dress flashily, often wearing cowboy boots, a stetson and a bolo tie.

Rock Sassi is from Texas, United States. In one story, it was revealed that his entire family consists of criminals. However, despite this, Rock Sassi is fully law-abiding and has been wanting to be a policeman since his early childhood, much to the disappointment of his family.

Ajax (Disney) - Clara Cluck
'Clara Cluck' debuted in 1934 in the Mickey Mouse cartoon Orphan's Benefit. Since then she has appeared as a semi regular character in the Mickey Mouse cartoons. In the comic books she is shown in Duck universe as Daisy Duck|Daisy Duck's best friend. Clara has been a member of Mickey's original farmyard gang since the beginning of his career, although she is seen less often than Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar.

Clara's singing is meant to be a caricature of the Bel canto|Bel Canto style of Opera singing popular at the time of her appearance. Some of her arias are clearly modelled on those of Tosca. Her last major appearance was as one of the musicians in Symphony Hour. Curiously, although she is seen in the rehearsal scenes at the beginning, she is not seen in the performance scenes at the end.

As with most Disney characters, she was given small cameos in Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983) and Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

She also makes an appearance in the Mickey's Boo to You Parade and for rare meet and greets at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

Originally voiced by Florence Gill and later Russi Taylor.

Ajax (Disney) - Spike the Bee
'Spike' is a small aggressive bee who is frequently an enemy of Donald and Pluto. In many of his appearances he is on a quest to gather food. He appears in Window Cleaners (1940), Inferior Decorator (1948), Bubble Bee (1949), Honey Harvester (1949), Slide, Donald, Slide (1949), Bee at the Beach (1950), Bee on Guard (1951) and Let's Stick Together (1952)

Ajax (Disney) - Herman Beetle
'Herman' appears in cartoon shorts as old man beetle telling the audience flashback stories of his youth and Donald Duck serves as his nemesis

Ajax (Disney) - Willie the Giant
'Willie the Giant' is a giant that appeared in the Disney cartoons Mickey and the Beanstalk (from the film Fun and Fancy Free, voiced by Billy Gilbert) and Mickey's Christmas Carol (voiced by Will Ryan)

In Mickey and the Beanstalk, Willie serves as the primary villain

In Mickey's Christmas Carol, Willie is portrayed in a much more positive light than he was in Mickey and the Beanstalk, serving as a supporting protagonist rather than a villain

Willie is also a minor recurring character in the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse children's series. Here, he is friends with Mickey. He still lives in the sky, only this time in a giant farm house.

Ajax (Disney) - J. Audubon Woodlore
'J. Audubon Woodlore' is the park ranger of Brownstone National Park (a play on Yellowstone National Park), one of the features of which is a geyser named Old Fateful (a play on Old Faithful Geyser|Old Faithful).

He is currently voiced by Corey Burton. and Later Jeff Bennett in the Future

He first appeared in two 1954 Donald Duck cartoons Grin and Bear It and Grand Canyonscope. (It is revealed in the latter that Woodlore was a postal worker prior to his Ranger days.) One year later, in Beezy Bear, he repeatedly admonishes Humphrey the Bear You bathe too much!, not realising that the bear is really just hiding in the pond from the bees whose honey he was trying to steal.

Woodlore prides himself on running a tight ship and is frequently oblivious to those (particularly Donald) who are humiliated and/or insulted by his constant scoldings and criticisms

The Ranger also made an appearance in Down and Out With Donald Duck (also known as A Duckumentary), a mockumentary about Donald Duck's infamous temper, where he is out of uniform, now working in an employment agency where Donald seeks a job.

Woodlore's name appeared on the entrance sign at Disneyland's Bear Country land, as the resident park ranger.

Woodlore most recently appeared in an episode of Disney's House of Mouse.

Ajax Cape Town FC Dutch Eredivisie club AFC Ajax is the parent club and acts as the majority shareholder.

Ajax Cape Town FC - History
Ajax Cape Town was formed in 1999 by Rob Moore (South African Entrepreneur)|Rob Moore and John Comitis via the amalgamation of two Cape Town-based teams, Seven Stars (South African soccer club)|Seven Stars and Cape Town Spurs, as AFC Ajax expanded their worldwide talent-feeder network to South Africa.

Ajax, nicknamed Urban Warriors, played their first official game against Kaizer Chiefs in the Iwisa Charity Spectacular on 17 July Ajax caused an upset when they beat Chiefs 1–0 with Sam Pam, the Ajax Cape Town captain, scoring the winning goal.

Current national team coach Gordon Igesund, South Africa's most successful club coach,[ Soccer in South Africa] who won league titles with Manning Rangers, Orlando Pirates, Engen Santos|Santos and Mamelodi Sundowns|Sundowns, coached the club from 2002 until 2006.

Since coming into existence, Ajax has never won the league title with their highest finish being runners-up in and Ajax managed to win the Rothmans Cup in 2000, the Nedbank Cup in 2007 and most recently the Telkom Knockout in 2008.

In January 2007 Ajax CT managed to beat AFC Ajax 3–1 in a friendly game held in Cape Town. The next friendly, played in Amsterdam, ended in a 3–2 win for AFC Ajax in July 2009.

Over the years several Ajax CT players have made the step to the mother club, among them Steven Pienaar in 2002, Daylon Claasen in 2009, Eyong Enoh in 2008 and Thulani Serero in 2011.

In July 2013, following an abysmal 2012–13 campaign which saw Ajax Cape Town going through four managerial changes and just nearly escaping relegation, it was announced that George and John Comitis, longtime shareholders of the club, had sold their shares of the club back to AFC Ajax and that George would step down as the chairman of the club

Ajax Cape Town FC - Youth program
Since the inception of the club from its merger under Rob Moore, Ajax Cape Town have imported the AFC Ajax philosophy and effective youth development schemes in the Western Cape. The majority of the senior squad players have come up from the club's own youth ranks, such as the likes of Nazeer Allie, Granwald Scott and Thulani Hlatshwayo, while others such as Steven Pienaar and Thulani Serero have moved on to some of the top clubs in Europe.

With the introduction of the Ajax Cape Town Community Scheme in conjunction with the South African Police Services, Ajax CT also provides football opportunities to young people within the greater Cape Town area regardless of race, gender, social status or disability, facilitated through structured programs in a safe and fun learning environment.

Since then the Ajax Cape Town Community Scheme has been implemented in more than 120 schools across the Western Cape as far as the Cape Winelands, reaching more than children.

Ajax Cape Town FC - Stadium
The stadium located in Athlone, Cape Town was also host to some of Ajax CT early home matches as well.

Moving to the Green Point Stadium, an 18,000 seat multi-purpose stadium in the Green Point area of Cape Town. The stadium was eventually demolished in 2007 to make way for the new Cape Town Stadium for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Construction of the new stadium was completed in 2009, and the Urban Warriors have played their home games at the Cape Town Stadium since the beginning of the Premier Soccer League season to an improved capacity of 55,000. On 3 August 2011 a contract extension of three years was negotiated with the stadium, which will see Ajax CT playing their home games there until 2014.

Nike Ajax Ajax was given the identifiers 'SAM-A-7' (Surface-to-air, Army, design 7), and then 'MIM-3' (Mobile Interceptor Missile, design 3) in 1962.[ Western Electric SAM-A-7/M1/MIM-3 Nike Ajax]Ajax was initially designated SAM-G-7, and later changed to SAM-A-7

Nike Ajax Even while Ajax was being deployed, these concerns led to the contracts for the greatly improved MIM-14 Nike Hercules, which began deployment in 1959

Nike Ajax Part of the Nike Ajax development program designed a new solid fuel rocket motor used for the missile's booster. This had originally been designed for the US Navy's missiles, and was enlarged for the Nike efforts. The rocket was so useful that it found numerous applications outside the military world as the Ajax missiles were decommissioned in the 1960s. Many sounding rockets used the booster as their first or second stage, and many of those used Nike in their name.

Nike Ajax - Background The inherent inaccuracy of anti-aircraft artillery means that when shells reach their targets they are randomly distributed in space

Nike Ajax - Background Flying faster means that the aircraft passes through the range of a gun more rapidly, reducing the number of rounds a particular gun can fire at that aircraft

Nike Ajax - Background The western allies maintained air superiority for much of the war and their anti-aircraft systems were not as fully developed

Nike Ajax - Background The introduction of German jet-powered bombers late in 1944 led to a re-evaluation of this policy, and on 26 January 1945 the Army Chief of Ordnance issued a requirement for a new guided missile weapon system. The request was passed to Bell Labs, then a world leader in radar, radio control and automated aiming systems (see Hendrik Wade Bode).

Nike Ajax - Project Nike
Bell accepted the challenge, and 'Project Nike' was officially formed on 8 February The Bell team was given the task of attacking bombers flying at or more,Cagle says 600mph, but many other sources put it at 500 or more. at altitudes between , and performing a 3G turn at . Bell reported back on 14 May 1945 (and a formal report the next day) that such a development was indeed possible. They concluded that:

A supersonic rocket missile should be vertically launched under the thrust of a solid-fuel booster which was then to be dropped; thence, self-propelled by a liquid-fuel motor, the missile should be guided to a predicted intercept point in space and detonated by remote control commands; these commands should be transmitted by radio signals determined by a ground-based computer associated with radar which would track both the target and the missile in flight.

This was not the only Army missile project at the time, the US Army Air Force was involved in studies of the Boeing Ground-to-Air Pilotless Aircraft|Ground-to-Air Pilotless Aircraft (GAPA), a much longer-range system based on what was essentially a drone aircraft

As part of the Key West Agreement, GAPA was handed to the newly formed US Air Force in 1948, when that force evolved out of the Army Air Force.[ GAPA (Ground-to-Air Pilotless Aircraft)], Boeing

Nike Ajax - Building the team
As the ranges and speeds being considered, even a supersonic rocket will take enough time to reach the target that the missile needs to lead the bomber in order to properly intercept it

The Ballistics Research Laboratory was asked to calculate the proper warhead shaping to maximize the chance of a hit. Once determined, Picatinny Arsenal would produce the warhead, and Frankford Arsenal would provide a fuse. Douglas Aircraft would provide the missile airframe and carry out aerodynamic studies, while Aerojet would supply a solid fuel rocket booster for initial launch, and Bell Aircraft would provide a liquid fuel rocket for the upper stage sustainer.

The initial design used a thin upper stage with eight JATO-derived boosters that were wrapped around its tail

Early in the program it was realized that existing radar systems based on the conical scanning method did not supply the performance needed for a high-speed missile

These changes, and many more, were summarized in a 28 January 1946 report. The project called for four rounds of test launches starting in 1946, with the aim of having a production design by 1949.

Nike Ajax - Testing The first test firing of a static round was carried out at the White Sands Missile Range|White Sands Proving Ground on 17 September 1946, and then returned to Douglas in California for study

Nike Ajax - Testing Eventually the team was forced to give up on the clustered booster concept

Nike Ajax - Testing A new series of test firings started in September 1948, but were stopped until May 1949 after a number of modifications were carried out. Funding problems then delayed the program until January From late January through April another 16 missiles were fired, with much better results.

Nike Ajax - Accelerating development
Through early development, the Nike project had not been considered very important

Nike Ajax - Accelerating development
Keller examined the various ongoing projects and decided that the Nike was the best developed

Production was launched in August 1952
Nike Ajax - Production Production was launched in August 1952

Nike Ajax - Deployment Deployment of the Nike I was under the direction of the Air Defense Artillery Branch (United States)|Army Antiaircraft Command, ARAACOM

Nike Ajax - Deployment For range safety reasons, launch sites had to have considerable empty land around them in the event of an accidental warhead or fuel explosion. Originally this would require about 119 acres of land per site. This presented a serious problem for the planners, and especially the Corps of Engineers Real Estate Offices. As early as 1952 they had asked for a solution, which led to design architect Leon Chatelain, Jr. developing an underground configuration.

Nike Ajax - Deployment As the missile batteries were now protected and accidental explosions would be contained, the safe area was dramatically reduced, and that cut the land requirement down to 40 acres

Nike Ajax - Deployment On 15 November 1956 the missile was officially renamed as the 'Nike Ajax', as part of DA Circular

Nike Ajax - Deployment Over the next four years, 265 batteries were constructed around the majority of major northern and coastal cities. They replaced 896 radar-guided anti-aircraft guns, leaving only a handful of 75mm Skysweeper emplacements as the only anti-aircraft artillery remaining in use by the US. All of the Skysweepers were removed from service by 1960.Stephen Moeller, [ Vigilant and Invincible], ADA Magazine, May/June 1995, Chapter 3, Modernization

Nike Ajax - Deployment A Nike Ajax missile exploded accidentally at a battery in Leonardo, New Jersey on 22 May 1958, killing 6 soldiers and 4 civilians. A memorial can be found at Fort Hancock, New Jersey|Fort Hancock in the Sandy Hook Unit of the Gateway National Recreation Area.[ Nike Battery NY-53 Middletown, NJ][ Nike Ajax Explosion - Sandy Hook, NJ]

Nike Ajax - After Ajax Bell was asked to study this in May, and they considered two options; one used the WX-9 warhead on the existing missile, which they called Nike Ajax, while a slightly enlarged missile with the XW-7 warhead was known as Nike Hercules

Nike Ajax - After Ajax But with those exceptions, Hercules was operationally similar to Ajax, and designed to operate at existing Ajax sites, using their launchers and underground facilities.

Ajax remained in active service in overseas locations for some time
Nike Ajax - After Ajax Ajax remained in active service in overseas locations for some time

Nike Ajax - After Ajax As the original Bell Nike team worked on Hercules, the nature of the strategic threat was changing

Nike Ajax - After Ajax Like the Ajax and Hercules, Zeus could only attack a single target at a time, although by deploying multiple radars it was expected that up to six missiles could be guided at once

Nike Ajax - Nike boosters
As Ajax missiles were removed from service, thousands of unused booster rockets were left over from the program, and more when the Hercules was removed from service years later

Nike Ajax - Description
A complete Nike Ajax system consisted of several radars, computers, missiles and their launchers

The launch area normally consisted of two or three underground facilities and their aboveground launchers

Long distance surveillance was handled by the ACQ or LOPAR radar, short for Low-Power Acquisition Radar. LOPAR included an Identification friend or foe|IFF system and a system for handing off targets to the tracking radars. Two monopulse radar|monopulse tracking radars were used, the Target Tracking Radar (TTR) to track the target handed off by the LOPAR, and the Missile Tracking Radar (MTR) to track the missile as it flew toward the target.

Launch of the missile was accomplished by lighting the solid fuel booster, which provided 59,000lbf of thrust for three seconds

As the various Ajax missile sites were overlapped, this led to the possibility that two sites might attack one target while another flew past both

The Nike batteries were organized in Defense Areas and placed around population centers and strategic locations such as long-range bomber and important military/naval bases, nuclear production facilities and (later) ICBM sites

Studies throughout the Nike project considered mobile launchers, but none were developed for the Ajax system. Missile sites were relocatable or transportable, and all of the support equipment was built into trailers or otherwise provided road wheels.Ed Thelen, [ Nike was 'mobile'?], Ed Thelen's Nike Missile Web Site.

Ajax (mythology) - Description
Most notably, Ajax is not wounded in any of the battles described in the Iliad, and he is the only principal character on either side who does not receive substantial assistance from any of the gods who take part in the battles, although, in book 13, Poseidon strikes Ajax with his staff, renewing his strength.

Ajax (mythology) - Trojan War
Ajax at first gets the better of the encounter, wounding Hector with his spear and knocking him down with a large stone, but Hector fights on until the heralds, acting at the direction of Zeus, call a draw: the action ends without a winner and with the two combatants exchanging gifts, Ajax giving Hector a purple sash and Hector giving Ajax a sharp sword

Ajax is responsible for the death of many Trojans lords, including Phorcys (Trojan War)|Phorcys

Ajax often fought in tandem with his brother Teucer, known for his skill with the bow. Ajax would wield his magnificent shield, as Teucer stood behind picking off enemy Trojans.

Achilles was absent during these encounters because of his feud with Agamemnon. In Book 9, Agamemnon and the other Mycenaean chiefs send Ajax, Odysseus and Phoenix (son of Amyntor)|Phoenix to the tent of Achilles in an attempt to reconcile with the great warrior and induce him to return to the fight. Although Ajax speaks earnestly and is well received, he does not succeed in convincing Achilles.

According to Hyginus, in total, Ajax killed 28 people at Troy.Hyginus, Fabulae [ 114].

Ajax's half-brother Teucer stood trial before his father for not bringing Ajax's body or weapons back where Teucer was acquitted for responsibility but found guilty of negligence. He was disowned by his father and wasn't allowed back on Salamis Island.

Homer is somewhat vague about the precise manner of Ajax's death but does ascribe it to his loss in the dispute over Achilles' shield; when Odysseus visits Hades, he begs the soul of Ajax to speak to him, but Ajax, still resentful over the old quarrel, refuses and descends silently back into Erebus.

Pausanias also relates that a gigantic skeleton, its kneecap in diameter, appeared on the beach near Sigeion, on the Trojan coast; these bones were identified as those of Ajax.
