In 2006 the Israeli IDF faced at max a 1,500 force strong Hezb Allah that was reestablishing its doctrine after the liberation of southern Lebanon in 2000. Hezb Allah understood that 2000 was not the end and that Israel is going to launch new wars, and so since Day One Hezb Allah’s commander Imad Moghneigh spearheaded the effort of Hezb Allah to train, to supply, and to fortify. This became public after Moghneigh was assassinated in 2008 as some of his videos became public.
Like it or not, Hezb Allah defeated Israel in 2006 by solely being able to survive post the war and not allowing Israel to achieve any of its objectives in that war. This is not an opinion, it’s an established fact and a consensus among everybody knowledgeable of that war, including USA and IDF officers.
Israel lost that war because its leadership was immature and inexperienced, the MOD was not of a military background, and the chief of staff general Dan Halutz thought he was playing the role of General Malcolm ‘Ace’ Granger from Generals Zero Hour. He thought he can win the war by air force only. Add to that, this led to delaying any major ground military operations by the IDF and restricted them to just raids. This gave Hezb Allah time to deploy their reserves and fortify their positions before the invasion.
Israel bombed all Lebanese infrastructure in the 2006 aggression
Moreover, the IDF pre-2006 endorsed a new war doctrine that none actually understood and which got scrapped later on.
On the other hand, the IDF faced actual problems in terms of training its infantry and tank crews. In 2006 not a single smoke screen was deployed by the untrained IDF tank crews. On the other hand, the infantry did not only lack training as they were busy countering low violence level counter-attack incidents in the West Bank and Gaza, but they also lacked in gear. The IDF reserve troop’s gear was in bad condition.
The war then ended after 34 days, where the IDF killed 1,191 civilians and wounded 4,409 others. The IDF killed 136 Hezbullah soldiers only out of the presumed 1,500 who were present and who mostly did not actively engage with the enemy. The IDF lost 121 soldiers and 1,244 others injured, out of those up to 30% were tank crew members.
Israeli tanks during the 2006 war
IDF knew how bad its forces’ conduct during the war was and set a goal to rethink its strategy and to learn from its mistakes, and so it proved in the limited Gaza war in 2008-2009. However, those two fronts are very different and any results there cannot be understood as positive outcomes if they were to be set as a model in the Lebanese scenario. Gaza is besieged and has no access to money and weapons unlike Hezb Allah who does, and most importantly South Lebanon is much larger and its mountains and trees present Hezb Allah with the upper hand in defending unlike Gaza’s plain terrain and weak beach soil-based ground.
Years passed and Hezb Allah started like 2000 to upgrade their weapons and training but the death of Moghniegh was a big blow. However, Hezb Allah is not a one-man organization and his death or even the future death of any other commander or leader won’t affect the goals or actions of the organization. One of the routes of supplying Hezb Allah was the sea where the IDF stopped a large shipment of weapons on 4 November 2009 in the Francop Affair.
The IDF seized 9,000 mortar shells, 2,125 107-mm Katyusha rockets, 685 rocket fuses, 690 122-mm rockets, 21,100 F-1 fragmentation hand grenades, and 566,220 AK-47 rounds. The Israeli military said that the shipment was equivalent to about ten percent of Hezb Allah’s stocks. The arms shipment was the largest ever seized by Israel.
Then came 2011 and the US-led War of Terror against Syria started. The fall of Syria to the terrorists effectively meant Hezb Allah is surrounded from the north and east by a pro Israel new Syrian government and from the south by Israel itself. Add to that, the fall of Syria meant that the anti Syrian 2011 Lebanese government, spearheaded by Saad Al Hariri who was arming the Al Qaeda terrorists in Homs through the ports of Tripoli, was able to confront Hezb Allah through the US-backed Lebanese army. It was a tough situation and nothing short of existence defining.
Hezb Allah then effectively since 2012 started to formulate plans on how to secure the borders and how to assist the Syrian army in defending the critical area near the capital and other places. However, it was clear that without securing the border and then mounting an offensive, Syria will be facing further dangers. And so Hezb Allah mounted its first-ever offensive battle with the aim of aiding the Syrian Army in liberating the countryside of Qussayr district and the city of Qussayr in Homs province. Hezb Allah used its Ridwan forces and its volunteers. The Syrian Army with Hezb Allah liberated in less than a couple of months an area of 598 square kilometers fortified with thousands of well trained Al Qaeda suicide terrorists who composed mainly of foreign fighters. Hezb Allah in their first offensive battle used artillery, mortars, tanks, jets piloted by SAA-AF, drones, and was able to coordinate a war effort with others. Hezb Allah lost up to 49 soldiers the first day and up to 210 soldiers by the end of the 3 weeks of the city liberation but liberated an area 9 times bigger than Haifa, 11 times bigger than Tel-Aviv, 46 times bigger than Acre, and 1/7th of what would be considered north of Israel.
Hezb Allah in Syria
2013, 2014, and then 2015 Hezb Allah along with the Syrian army, Iran’s IRGC, Afghanistan’s Fatimiyoun, Pakistan’s Zeinabiyoun, and Iraq’s PMF (aka PMU) coordinated the battles effort and distributed roles and tasks over 185,180 km² sized Syria. Not only did Hezb Allah move from a war doctrine that was focused on defending a well-fortified 1,000 km2 sized south Lebanon alone, to mounting and planning offensives in Syria and Iraq, but to coordinating a war effort that involves groups that differ in language, training, and expertise, and effectively use a variety of weapons together. Not only this, but Hezb Allah was also able to manage logistics and training for its own fighters, and assist Syrian army soldiers, Iraqi PMF, and even dispatch experts to Yemen to assist the Ansar Allah movement against the USA-backed KSA-UAE war.
It is true that Hezb Allah lost up to 1,500 fighters and a group of its most prominent leaders like Mustafa Badriddine, its highest military commander, the leader of the Ridwan units, Ali Al Asheq, the special forces leader Ali Fayad, and other prominent field commanders, but the experience its fighters gained from regulars to volunteers can not be outweighed. Up to 10,000-20,000 fighters have witnessed war and fought in mountains and deserts against tens of thousands of ideologically brainwashed and radicalized enemies. So what do we conclude about this all?
Hezb Allah alongside Iran was able to unite a front that was un-united before 2011 and was able to access all the Syrian army weapon storage including whatever Russia might have supplied Syria and was able to effectively secure its land passage from Iran to Syria through Iraq and avoid using the sea.
The United Axis of Resistance
However, when we look at the other side, the IDF, we have to mention few points.
Since 2009 and passing through the 2014 war in Gaza, the IDF faced a far inferior enemy in a non-fortified and besieged area. The IDF was successful in those limited campaigns but since then its forces have been stuck with fighting low violence level attacks and limited airstrikes on assorted targets in Syria. So if you notice, the IDF is in the same position it was in pre-2006 if not even worse. In both cases, the IDF is heavily relying on the air force being the only force seeing real combat, if we even consider those airstrikes on Syria as combat, and its soldiers are only dealing with low violence level danger and not real combat.
What is also worth mentioning is that the IDF in 2006 was full of soldiers with experience who fought and knew Lebanon, unlike the new fresh soldiers who have not set a foot in these lands and have not seen real combat. The only difference is that the IDF now has a worthy of his position commander in the position of the chief of staff, Aviv Kochavi, who took training of his infantry and tank crews as his own personal crusade. But everyone knows training is something and actual fighting in a war against a battle-hardened martyrdom loving enemy that will use IEDs, mines, mortars, ATGMs trenches, caves, and many surprises is not the same. If 2006’s surprise was the 9M133 kornet and C-803 NOOR, what would you expect to see post 2020.
The Axis of resistance is united and when Israel starts the war, it won’t end with Hezb Allah fighting alone and south Lebanon being the only front. This should be common knowledge by now as the IDF started to train on how to operate in a two-front war. They should but who said it would be only a two-front war.
The next war is to be the last war, when only one will survive it let that be Israel or the Axis. The power massed by Hezb Allah poses a danger Israel did not face in its 72 years of existence and the power massed by Hezb Allah’s allies that are waiting for that war is unmatched. When Hezb Allah’s Secretary-General Sayed Hasan Nasrallah said the next war will witness 10’s of thousand, no 100’s of thousands of fighters other than Hezb Allah fighters, he was not talking out of delusion and the IDF knows this but is still uncomfortable believing it could happen.
Do you think that the IRGC is willing to spend millions and keep rebuilding its bases in Syria for merely building bases in a no man’s desert? Do you think the Afghans in the Golan there are having a summer vacation or the Syrian Hezb Allah. Do you think the visits of Abu Mahdi Al Muhandis and Qais al Khazali to the Lebanese Israeli border is for nothing?
Iraqi PMU Commander Qais Al Khazali (left)
The next war will be started by Israel and we will witness weeks of depletion of IDF forces trying to attack Lebanon until Hezb Allah inflicts enough damage on the attackers to start their own offensive and only to be then safeguarded by fresh fighters pouring in from the Golan front when Israel will be trying to manage a 3 front war from Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon.
Hezb Allah does not live with the thought of a war that it will need to rebuild after and then prepare for another, it is time to set things straight. How will it end? In enough damage that will lead to a national referendum that will define the new name and government of this holy land.
What will the USA do? Only time will tell, but a direct USA engagement will mean a direct Iranian engagement in the Gulf, where all USA bases are in sitting ducks the range of Iran’s IRGC’s missiles. It will not be worthy of history-changing war if it stays confined.
The Quds Day is when one would truly learn about how the future will unfold.

The Most Common Reasons Why People Get Divorced In The U.S.
By Abigail Boyd|Updated July 12, 2022
Have you ever wondered why individuals get divorced? Are you worried that your marriage may be headed in that direction?
Want To Talk About Divorce? Is Something Else On Your Mind?
An Online Therapist Can Help.
When people think of common divorce reasons, they may imagine n or of a couple that is constantlWhile those certainly cause divorce in some cases, some of the less talked about divorce reasons may surprise youvorce, especially on the internet. While it's true tmarriage and divorce ratdecades. This is partially due to people in their 20s waiting longer than past generations to settle down and get married. Divorce is more common in subsequent marriages than first marriages.
If you're looking to strengthen or repair your relationship to prevent it from reaching the point where a divorce is an option, knowing the most common divorce reasons can help you recognize any problems and take action on them before they can fracture your marriage.
People tend to lay blame on their spouses when a marriage isn't working out. Each person may be defensive about the role they've played in the degradation of the marriage. However, for the sake of the relationship, both partners must be honest about their negative contributions.
Turning a critical eye towards oneselfA therapist specializing in relationship counseling can assist you and your partner in the process.
Top 8 Divorce Reasons In The US
Poor communication is currently at first, poor communication can undermine many aspects of a partnership.
The way people are raised and the life experiences that shape them profoundly influence each person's communication skills. Whether you were taught to keep your emotions inside or to talk about anything bothering you in the hopes of finding a solution, these patterns become deeply woven into our relationships.
If you and your partner have vastly different communication styles, this can lead to frequent clashes and arguments. Over time, this can cause cracks in your relationship that cause it to fall apart eventually. If neither of you can properly communicate your needs and feel heard, it will lead to chronic feelings of dissatisfaction, disappointment, and resentment. If every conversation ends in an argument, no one wins.
Communication problems usually go hand in hand with the following reasons for divorce.
As you may have expected, divorce cases citing infidelity as a major contributing factor are common. Discovering that your spouse cheated, whether it was one time or an ongoing affair, can have devastating emotional consequences. Long-term extramarital affairs are the hardest to recover fromdivorces.
The reasons that people cheat vary, including dissatisfaction, drifting apart, self-confidence issues, and a loss of love. These contributing factors usually persist a while before the dishonest party steps outside of the marriage.
While infidelity can cause severe damage to a relationship, it doesn't have to destroy it. If both partnermoving past the incident and rebuilding trust, therapy can be invaluable.
Persistent stress is also a common culprit when it comes to divorce reasons, according to researc strain chronic stress can have on a couple. Stress can come in many different forms, including:
Having different schedules
It's also well-a person's health over time. This includes an increased risk ofcertain cancers, and stroke.
You can't always eliminate the sources of stress from your life. The problem arises when you and your partner begin to stress out on each other instead of working as a team to determine solutions to manage difficulties together.
Before they say "I do," everyone soon-to-be husband and wife have a certain mental picture of what married life will look like. This often can include fairy tale ideas that don't correspond with reality. While a little bit of dreaming is perfectly healthy, if there's a significant enough gap between expectation and reality, you may feel disappointed and dissatisfied. This can get bad enough to be a reason for divorce.
That's why it's important to have a frank and honest talkyou walk down the aisle. That way, your dreams can be more aligned with your real life, which will increase satisfaction for both of you.
Money troubles are another common reason couples seek divorce. This can include mounting bills, job loss, credit card debt, and other money-related troubles. If both partners can't agree on managing their money, are dishonest with their spending habits, or income isn't balanced, serious problems can arise.
One study showed that a husband's lack of employment could predict divorce. However, job loss from either partner can cause a significant strain on the marriage. This stress can contribute to the other problems on the list.
You and your partner must work together for financial harmony from the start to avoid crashing later on. If possible, be honest with each other about all of your current debt and other money issues before your wedding day. Work together to create a budget and keep each other accountable. Establish financial goals that are in line with what both of you want.
6. Conflicting Goals
People change as they get older, which can lead couples to grow apart as they mature into new versions of themselves. Along the way, your goals might change significantly, and what you once thought you wanted is no longer important. It's hard to build a life when the two of you want starkly different things, and, eventually, you'll naturally move in different directions.
To prevent this, you must prioritize checking in with each other occasionally about your goals and dreams. This applies toren, to seemingly minor issues, such as wanting to renovate parts of your house. By working together to make sure your goals are in line with one another's, you'll be able to support each other along the way.
Throughout most marriages, there are times when oer. Maybe one of you is working longer hours than before or struggling with a mental illness. Or maybe you're not in the moodnflicting intimacy needs can lead to a marriage breakdown. While temporary issues can be worked through, sometimes a couple is not compatible sexually.
One of the most serious reasons for divorce is emotional, mental, and physical abuse present. It usually starts small-a tendency toward critical comments, name-calling, or being told that you're too emotional. Over time, these issues can become constant, where one partner seek verbal putdowns, physical force, intimidation, gaslighting, threats, and sometimes, physical force.
In most cases, the best option for the partner being abused is to end the marriage. It takes the abuser truly seeing their ways and sincerely committing to change to move forward, and sadly, this rarely occurs. You'n, and in the case of domestic abuse, that means protecting yourself first.
Troubles in a marriage can sneak up on a couple over time. It may be obvious that there's a problem if you're constantly fighting, sleeping in separate rooms, or feeling a persistent, underlying sense of resentment toward your spouse. Often, trouble can be caught before they get that far. The sooner you and your spouse identify the problems in your relationship, the sooner you can tackle them head-on.
If you're experiencing one or more of the struggles listed above regarding your marriage, it's time to figure out solutions. If a couple loves each other deeply and is willing to work together to make things better
Couples therapy allows you both to develop the skills necessary to resolve relationship troubles. You'll be able to strengthen your relationship ReGain.us is there to provide you with expert counseling that fits into your busy schedule.
Marriage was once portrayed as being a life-long commitment regardless of whether you were happy or not. It has transformed into being more focused on the feelings of being content and satisfied. This change in thinking has shiftedhighest divorce rates worldwide. Statistics indicated that the divorce rate within the United States is declining. The reasons people get divorced will vary from couple to couple. However, these reasons can be categorized as related to age, gender, and socioeconomic status.
The number one top reasons people divorce and the leading causes of divorce is conflict and arguing that ultimately leads to the marriage's breakdown over time. Common causes of divorce can change from culture to culture.
While statistics indicated that the divorce rate is declining within the United States, it is estimated that 45% of all married people divorce. Common causes of divorce will vary from couple to couple. However, the five most common causes of divorce and what people name as the main contributor to their divorce are:
Conflict and continuous arguing between married people
Infidelity or cheating in the marriage whether the partner knows or not.
Lack of communication and feeling as though you are unable to open up to your partner.
The reasons why people divorce their partners will differ from couple to couple. While some people may work with their partner through rough periods in their marriage, other people decided that there is no repairing their marriage, and they decided to get a divorce. However, the three main leading causes of divorce include:
Continuous fighting and arguing with your partner. This inability to see eye to eye is a contributor to their divorce.
Divorcing couples also report a lack of commitment in their marriage, including but not limited to not helping out around the house, not helping take care of the kids.
The third common cause of divorce is infidelity or cheating. Whether the other partner is aware or not. Some people feel unsatisfied in their marriage. Instead of divorcing then and there, they decide to have an affair with another individual. They may wish to be with this person without being secretive, contributing to their divorce.
Over the past 50 years alone, American society's cultural values and behaviors have increased the divorce rate. In fact,worldwide for divorcing couples. What was once thought of as a commitment to life has now shifted to focus on being happy in your relationship. While the United States' divorce rate has been declining in the last ten years, statistics show 45% of people divorce. That being said, the reasons people get divorced vary and depend on their marriage's unique circumstances and dynamics. However, the top 10 common causes of divorce as suggested by research are:
Frequent conflict and arguing. This is the top risk of divorce because when couples cannot see eye to eye on perspectives and situations, this can often cause them to feel as though their values and morals are not the same as one another.
A lack of commitment is also another common risk of divorce in the United States. Commitment can mean many things, such as taking care of the house's responsibilities, helping take care of the kids, and not committing to being a member of the family.
Infidelity or cheating. Another one of the top common reasons people get divorced is that they have an affair. People often end up staying in their marriage for the wrong reasons and decide that having an affair will make them feel better about the situation.
Distance or a lack of intimacy is another common reason people get divorced. While some marriages can continue without intimacy elements, others are unable to survive the physical and emotional distance they feel between their partners.
Communication problems can cause people to divorce because communication is essential in a marriage and will not survive without it.
Domestic violence, verbal or emotional abuse, is one of the most dangerous reasons for divorces of all time. Often one of the partners involved is in danger of being hurt by their partner. It becomes complicated for them to find a safe space and leave their marriage.
The difference in values and morals can also cause many people to divorce because they feel as though they cannot relate to them on a personal level and respond to situations the same way they do.
Substance abuse issues are also another severe reason for divorces of all time. They can depend a lot on whether people can save their marriage or not.
No romantic intimacy or love can cause people to drift apart and feel isolated in their marriage. This can happen in young people and older couples as well.
Not helping out in marriage is also a reason why people get divorced. Marriage should be 50/50, and if one partner is not holding up their end, it can cause a lot of stress and conflict, which ultimately leads to a marriage divorce.
The notion that marriage divorce is "bad" is an outdated notion that ties back to traditional thinking ways. Marriage was once portrayed as a lifelong commitment that people would often stay in for the wrong reasons to avoid society's repercussions. Nowadays, people are more empowered to do what makes them happy and remove themselves from marriages that do not fulfill their emotional, mental, and physical needs. While divorce is a distressing and challenging time for couples, people can overcome their feelings of grief and move on with their lives in time. That being said, divorce can be difficult for young people and kids, which can cause difficulties in divorce processes, which can leave lasting effects on their well-being for the rest of their lives if not handled positively and respectfully between the couple. Common reasons people divorce is for everyone’s benefit, not just one person’s.

6 Steps To Prevent Divorce


"physician associate" as the official title for the PA profession."
For many, like myself, who took the AAPA name change survey in 2019, we breathed an instant sigh of relief. This certainly would mean the death of the AAPA/WPPs survey approved title "Medical Care Practitioner" and, even worse, "Praxician!"
For others, like my colleague Jane, a 27-year seasoned PA veteran, the news didn't seem to shatter her earth at all. I could tell when she looked up at me and said, "Oh, I didn't know the name change was a thing?"

"Aren't they all medical care practitioners?"
"We have a few appointments available today. Whom would you like to see?Dr. Smith, the NP or the Medical Care Practitioner?"
"Well, I have no idea what that last one is, so I would rather just see the doctor."

Will Poulter 'Never Planned' to Star in 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3'
The 29-year-old actor will star alongside the likes of Zoe Saldana and Chris Pratt in the upcoming superhero movie as villain Adam Warlock but admitted he "never planned" to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He said, "I've gotta say, I never banked on being involved, in any capacity, really, but I'm certainly very grateful."
"The Score" star was then asked if he had "considered" the possibility that he may have to sign up to appear as the character in several other MCU movies and TV shows, to which he acknowledged that he had to but has no idea what is in store for the character following his upcoming debut in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3".
"I think variety certainly makesaudience members too, but it's the quality of the material, more than anything else," Will elaborated further. "I let the script guide me. I don't tend to allow genre, or size, or medium, or anything like that, to dictate my choices, wherever possible."


Pato leaving AC Milan together with Robinho?
Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani will fly to Brazil on Sunday to listen offers for his strikers Robinho and Alexandre Pato.
A few days ago it became clear that Robinho has told to the coach Massimiliano Allegri that he wants to return to his homeland, but now apparently and his compatriot and teammate can also be turned to there.
According to rumors, the world champions Corinthians tends to draw 15 million euros for Pato, whose career went rapidly down because of injuries in the last 2-3 seasons. In this campaign, the 23 years old has only 4 matches for "Rossoneri" in which he hasn't scored a goal.
In Robinho has much bigger interest, from Atletico Mineiro, Gremio, Flamengo and Flumineze are willing to bid for him.

Todd Eldredge Is Shooting For His Fifth U.s. Figure Skating Championship And His First Olympic Medal.
January 4, 1998|By SHARON ROBB Staff Writer
Todd Eldredge looked more like a tourist soaking up sun on the packed sand of Daytona Beach than a national and world champion figure skater.
Wearing baggy Bermuda shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, Eldredge was clearly out of his element during a break for a publicity photo and commercial session for U.S. Figure Skating Association sponsors. ``I have New England legs,'' Eldredge joked, referring to his white legs. The same legs that have glided and jumped so effortlessly in competitions since his boyhood days in South Chatham, Mass., a seaside town of Cape Cod saltbox houses.
The son of a commercial fisherman got his first taste of ice on a pair of hockey skates on a rink near a garbage dump. He would hold on to the boards with his ankles touching the ice.
Two weeks later, he traded his hockey skates for figure skates because he wanted to ``jump and spin.''
Not the most glamorous start for one of today's most well-known men's figure skaters. In a sport where most are born with a silver skate in their mouth, Eldredge has depended on the generosity of Chatham's townspeople who took a liking to the skinny kid and started a fund to enable him to train and compete all over the world.
The townspeople would hold clambakes and go door-to-door for pledges. The money started coming in and the Chatham Youth Hockey/Todd Eldredge Fund was started. In 12 years, more than $250,000 has been raised.
For this, he is grateful and if the four-time U.S. and 1996 World champion should make history at this week's State Farm U.S. Figure Skating Championships and Olympic and World trials in Philadelphia, he will thank the people of Chatham as he has so many times before.
Eldredge, at 26, has a chance to be the only skater to win five U.S. titles, surpassing skating greats Scott Hamilton, Brian Boitano and Hayes Alan Jenkins, who each won four.
``When Todd wins a medal, it's not just his victory, it's the whole town's,'' said his mother, Ruth, a nurse.
Eldredge competes Tuesday night in the men's short program and Thursday night in the long free skating program.
Eldredge is the overwhelming favorite to grab one of two men's Olympic and world spots available. Injury-prone for most of his career, Eldredge is coming back from a dislocated shoulder and pulled rib muscles he suffered in a practice fall at Skate America in Detroit on Oct. 25.
Eldredge was bumped onto the 1992 Olympic team with an injury waiver, but was suffering from back problems and finished 10th. He failed to make the 1994 team when he got the flu at the U.S. Championships and finished fourth.
``I think the fact that I was always a fighter and a good competitor has carried me through and will again,'' Eldredge said.
By the sixth grade what had started as a Sunday family outing had become a life's ambition for Eldredge. In 1990, at 18, Eldredge became the youngest men's national champion in 24 years. When he won a world title in 1996, he hung the gold medal around his mother's neck. He donated $10,000 to his youth skating program.
``When you grow upyou never forget the people that helped you get to a certain point,'' Eldredge said. ``I want to repay them over and over again. I have won nationals and the worlds. The only thing missing is an Olympic medal. That's the priority now.
``It's not a big void but there is a little void because I don't have an Olympic medal. Basically, I have won just about everything there is to win. I'm looking at this to rectify that void. If it happens, fantastic, if it doesn't, I still know I've had an incredible career.''
Eldredge is probably the best spinner in the world and one of the top showmen with his athleticism and fluidity. He isn't flamboyant or charismatic like some of his rivals, ``but he gets the job done,'' said his coach, Richard Callaghan, whom he has been with since age 10.
Eldredge hopes to become the first U.S. skater to land the quadruple toe jump _ a four-revolution jump that has never been done by an American in a competition because it is difficult to master.
Canadian world champion Elvis Stojko is one of the few skaters to use the quad with a triple toe loop. The two will meet at the Olympics where they will battle for the gold with Russia's Ilia Kulik.
Eldredge was going to attempt the quad in Munich, Germany, a final tuneup for next week, but had trouble with his right blade and did not attempt the jump. He hit seven triples in his best long program of the season.

China's richest woman burst onto the scene last year when the paper-recycling company she started more than a decade ago went public. It's now worth $13 billion. Cheung, 50, is a former accountant who lost her job but then capitalized on China's export boom by importing scrap paper from the U.S. and Europe and turning it into cardboard boxes that are exported packed with Chinese-manufactured products. Profits rose 46%, to $266 million, in fiscal 2007, on revenue of $1.3 billion.


and founded theologically; or absolute like far-eastern nothingness. Logic supposes terms, or a certain ontic content, mathematics being and its empty set, metaphysics theological doubt; but algebra and in particular idempotence imply yet an entirely other type of void. This void imposed by idempotence is no longer definable in ontico-ontological terms or according to a reversible philosophical syntax for which the One and the void, Being and the void are convertible. This void, which is neither that of the One nor that of Being, is that which tolerates radical immanence and must be thought not as simple or correlated term, but instead as undulation and interference. Its essence is undulatory, and no longer corpuscular. Algebra in turn voids the content of terms such as the empty set, but in a broader manner, reserving the rights of a certain indeterminate or under-determined immanence, of a neutralization of corpuscular determinations. Thus disencumbered of its contents, such as nothingness opposed to being, it allows to appear the real of immanence whose form is given by algebra as idempotence. This radical and generic void is nevertheless articulated, however weakly; there is a form of the void, as Badiou and Descartes have recognized—the former in a way perhaps too trenchant and, frankly, corpuscular, the second in a way more acceptable to us and more indeterminate, like the lived. Science neither destroys nor produces its object; it imprints upon it various types of neutralization of double transcendence, a transformation that is its global effect. It does not introduce into the world an absolute void peppered with sparse events. Instead, the philosophical object is flush with the neutral—this is what distinguishes the mathematical voiding of philosophy and its neutralization through quantification. It also describes what there is of the non-vulgar in phenomenology, which, certainly, remains with beings and does not pass over to philosophy as object. Badiou is the Tao of mathematics or the absolute void concluded from mathematics. NP is the radical void obtained through neutralization or under-determination.
With algebra, there are no longer anything but "empty" symbols in this latter, non-formal sense. But it is not these symbols qua void that permit "idempotence" to be thought. What the algebraic void permits is to fill them universally with any content whatsoever of the lived or wave type, of the amplitude type. This is neither the inconsistent multiple nor some other matter like desiring-flux. Neither being nor beings exhaust materiality; idempotence manifests yet another materiality, a more "subjective" materiality, the undulatory lived of which philosophy speaks only allusively, without thematizing it explicitly. Idempotence is univocity itself, its very definition, which is not attached to any being or to Being or to a qualified lived experience (that becomes or undergoes qua same or univocal). The univocity of the same has a power of speaking itself of... a power to transit or to conquer; it is the universal as generic that replaces the all, that is not the all and that, what is more, can transit it. This power is that of the Mid(-point) [Mi(-lieu)], of what we call the strong analytic as weak synthetic, which prepares the immanental under-going. It is thus a void that is not absolute, but radical, via a suspension of its operation. It is the same via resumption, but such that this repetition is suspended. It is thus the same that is indifferent to its operations. And thus, it becomes the principle of superposition. Generic immanence is not a point-One, it is the same-of-the-One. Idempotence is the univocity of thought that is not said in a single sense of every being or of the all, and which must afterward confront the equivocity of the division or partitioning of regions. It is not linked to the One, to the Multiple, to the All. It is messianic univocity for that which is not univocal.
The object-being of philosophy is given by the ultimate laws or laws of the Last Instance that are those of thought, not by laws of the object such as mathematics or even those logics constituted by disciplines in the form of completed-and-closed theories. Here, the laws of thought are those of the lived. They are grasped by algebra, that is to say by logico-mathematics, as necessary, but maximally devoid of all doubly transcendent content. Mathematics and logic together are the laws of transcendent thought; algebra allows us to reduce them without purifying them. The laws of thought act well before the completed theories that serve as substitutes for metaphysical foundations or come to fill them, whereas one must determine laws that are valid for the quantum science of philosophy.
It is not certain that we have a true Idea—this would be dogmatism. We have instead the means, or one principal means, which is mathematics, but precisely a simple means and not a heap of finalities. Dogmatism is mathematics raised to the state of a finality or a measure of all things. We have only an Ariadne's thread to enter into the labyrinth that we ourselves weave from this thread, and it is algebra, not molar logic nor set-theoretical mathematics posited from the outset as a rotating cornerstone that would propel us immediately to the heart of the labyrinth. It is true that we must hold fast to the end of this thread, for the further we progress through the shadows of the labyrinth, the more this thread slips from our hands. Many different doors open, like so many temptations, to the point of revealing to us a prior-to-first unknowing. Logic assures us that there is a thread, its algebraization consigns it to a certain clandestinity; it is made for the subterranean labyrinth of the world and the winding walls of the cosmic, not at all for the open sky of the Greeks. It is this void, a radical void, what we have called a collider that is completed but not closed, that will permit us to enter into the science of the world. It is not a principle or a foundation; we have no ground. The subjects that we are, are mobilized by a void, an unknown attractor. This void may well be that of a generic messianity. This Ariadne's thread allows us to penetrate into the cavern of philosophy without having been in advance dazzled by the sun, and perhaps by philosophy itself.
Philo-fiction
Transforming the Parmenidean equation
Philosophy (or at least its transcendental organon) is delimited by Parmenides' axiom-formula. This formula is its minimal kernel—it allows one to know of what one speaks, and to reject from its definition any objectives imposed from outside philosophy (theology, science, art, etc.). Having admitted this kernel (the "Same"), we have discovered that it was susceptible to a variation-transformation of its syntax and semantics. It passes from the Same as reciprocity or auto-reflexivity, to the real One-in-One or to the Same as non-reciprocity, but on condition of exceeding the Parmenidean bloc, and Being in particular. The problem is that of the Real, of its effects upon philosophy when it comes from outside the formula, or more precisely when it under-goes it. NP no longer responds to Parmenides' formula, except in "simplifying" it by including it in immanence. They are "identical-in-the-last-instance," but philosophy is then no longer anything but a material included, in the exteriority of a symptom, in the a priori real. For this to be the case, Being, as Real-One, must not be "separated" from itself by thought, writing, or any other form of alterity. NP is the exposition of a possibility of the last-instance of the canonical formula in the regime of the non-separation of the Real-One, whereas philosophy is its reflected, unique and abusive interpretation—and thus an interpretation divided or repeated from the origin.
NP is the effect of the introduction of a scientific method into Parmenides. In it, the axiom is combined and subordinated to the deployment of a Real that brings its formula to an impasse, exceeding its philosophical auto-reflection. Take Parmenides' formula: by virtue of what do we know that it is philosophical? Doubtless, by virtue of the tradition that has always interpreted it as auto-reflective. We cannot not introduce it, it is already present there; but we can examine its axiom-form, and this in two ways: either classically, by abstracting on the basis of mathematical objects and procedures, whereby we can obtain, at best, the materialist formula that posits Being as identical to a Same that thus divides and subtracts itself from itself.


Home Essays Reconstituting Local...
Some of the ideals championed by those who favor globalization will naturally work against the reconstitution of local manufacturing and food markets. For example, the principle of economic advantage commonly referred to as the iron law, demands that the best of the countries that initiate competitive strategies is deemed to outdo other competitors from the market. Put simply, if a particular foreign country grows a particular local productgrow the product locally (Davis, 2012). This would force the importation of the product from a foreign country which would obviously hamper the ability of local establishments to be able to compete in that market. In fact, some experts think that because of globalization, in the...

Spicy pappadoms, chicken Tikka, lamb chops.
My littlest one turned 9 last week. Every year I say it, and I'll say it again, where on earth does the time go? This year's party was a garden/pool/disco for 14 girls.  Crikey, I'm not sure I'm ready for this!
But this cake was reasonably easy. I made a 9" Victoria sponge, filled with vanilla buttercream. No strawberry jam, as strawberries tend to flare up my daughter's eczema. This layer was covered in raspberry pink fondant (which you would think would have a similar effect, but not so far). The disco ball I made by making a giant cupcake Victoria sponge, slicing and carving into a vague spherical shape, and then covering initially in silver fondant. Then I cut out millions of squares of white fondant, and stuck them on, starting with the middle line, and working my way around. On top I put a star shape to fit the last bit. Then I painted all this with silver colouring (similar to my Porsche cake) and sprinkled over plenty of edible glitter. The 9, the little stars and the lettering were hand cut and painted similarly.
Head Chef Jeremy Pang is an up-and-coming TV chef, running an award winning Oriental Cookery School, and now, author of Chinese Unchopped, authentic Chinese recipes, broken down into simple techniques.
Essentially, Chinese cooking is 90% prep, 10 % cooking. With ingredients like soy sauce (light and dark), sesame oil, spring onions and the infamous Chinese Five Spice (that's star anise, cinnamon, clove, fennel seeds, and one other spice (or five), which could be anything from chilli, garlic, ginger to Sichuan pepper, or all of them!), authentic dishes can be cooked up with all the essentials, the cleaver, the wok, the slicing and dicing. Then the braising, the stir-frying, deep-frying and the roasting. Oh yes, those Peking ducks you see hanging in the window of Chinatown, double cooked - fried and roasted.

This DIY website (blog and galleries) is designed to construct and publicly share a project based on my journeys to, within and from, northern Australia. The assumption was that I would be making more than one long drive to the north –to the Northern Territory initially, then to northern South Australia.
Initially 'journeys' meant roadtrips — to and from a location eg., to Lajamanu. Journey's now means walking the country in northern South Australia. Walking refers to walking within the country, and doing so with both camels and ARPA bushwalkers.
The first walk with camels was a 12 day walk in the Northern Flinders Ranges in 2018 from Umberatana to Mt Hopeless. The second camel trek was in 2021 from Blinman to Lake Frome. The first walk with the ARPA bushwalkers was in the Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park with a base at Balcanoona.
. The text tells the story of Basho's wandering from Edo (now Tokyo) into the country's interior and the hardships he faced there.
The project's title, The Long Road to the North, is also a reference to Richard Flanagan's 2014 novel, TBasho's The Narrow Road to the North.
The project has evolved since the initial trip to Lajamanu in 2016 and it has become more centred on photography and walking as distinct from roadtrips.

Valeria Silvera is a church planter in the city of Posada, Argentina. She and her sister Angie are serving together to reach the area of Sol de Misiones with a variety of residents. Some families have stable jobs and others that have limited resources while others live in hazardous housing. Violence, child abandonment, and drug trafficking are common issues.
For Valeria and Angie, the social difficulties have made it a challenge for them to approach the people living in Sol de Misiones. “Many families have not wanted to hear about God,” Valeria says.
But God is blessing their perseverance. “Little by little, the Lord has opened doors to preach His Word,” shares Valeria.
The church planter training Valeria received from Multiplication Network Ministries (MNM) has been a great tool for her. “It helped us a lot in the subject of creating a strategic plan for our church plant, helping us know how to organize ourselves in the different areas of evangelism, fellowship, teaching, and how to begin the work with small groups,” she says.

Here's the great thing about fishing in Iowa: you can fish all year round so you don't have to worry about when the 'season' starts.
Iowa is home to more than 150 county and state lakes, multiple interior rivers and streams, and the mighty Mississippi and Missouri rivers. It's a great state for anglers. Fishing is a great activity to keep the kids entertained, spend quality time outside, enjoy nature and stay active.
There are a few new things this year to keep in mind before you grab your net and pole and head out to the great outdoors.
No matter where you are or what type of fish you're trying to catch, you need to start with the basics. But first, take note of a few changes.
Iowa residents and nonresident. There are a few exceptions like if you're on active duty with the Armed Forces of the US, a minor student of the state school for the deaf, or a patient of a substance abuse facility accompanied by an employee of a substance abuse facility. You can buy your license at the Iowa DNR, bait, and tackle shops, and here online.
Be considerate of other anglers, clean up any litter, recycle fishing line, and obey all fishing regulations. I make it a point to pick up any trash I see, even if it's not mine.
Iowa residents and nonresidents are required to pay the trout fee to fish for or possess trout.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources posts rules and restrictions on its website. You can download the pdf file here.
You don't need much to get started. Make sure you have your license. You can even get a handy dandy hard plastic card for an extra $5 so you won't have to worry about your paper license getting wet.
With just a few pieces of gear, you'll be reeling in fish in no time. Here's what the Iowa DNR suggests to get started.
A closea great choice for beginners. Watch this video to learn how to hold a spin casting rod and reel.a bountiful font of information. Learn about where to fish, what to bring, when fish are biting and so much more. The Iowa DNR even has an app you can download that's filled with helpful tips, fishing locations, and rules and regulations. Now grab your pole and tackle box and head outdoors for some great fishing fun.
Need more inspiration? Watch this video from Travel Iowa and see why Iowa is a great place to fish.

Someone once said to me that I would find being in Opposition frustrating as it is only government MPs who have the power to drive change.
I could have taken this one of two ways. I could have used it as an excuse to sit back and relax for the term, or I could take it as a challenge to prove them wrong and use my position as a local MP to make things happen. I chose the latter.

When I ran for election, I worked with our community to develop six priorities which would shape my approach to being your local representative. While these areas do not constitute all of my work as a Member of Parliament, they are areas of significant importance to local people and, as such, I work hard to deliver progress across each priority.
Working on the delivery of the Anzac memorial at Hallett Cove’s foreshore has been one of the most significant projects I’ve focused on during my time in public life. The 2015 inaugural Anzac Dawn Service was a moving event in a spectacular location and I hope you can join the Hallett Cove community at this years’ foreshore service organised by the local Lions Club.
Guest speakers include Andrew Cook, Regimental Sergeant Major at Warradale Barracks and Corey Wingard MP. Local schools and churches will also be involved on the day.
The directory was put together with the support of Bendigo Bank Marion and aims to help readers discover businesses in our local area that are keen for your support in tough economic times.
In March, the Liberal Party launched '2036', a manifesto that outlines what we stand for and the key priorities we will focus on if elected in 2018. We believe this document provides a clear and strong foundation upon which we will build policies to transform South Australia. You can read 2036 here.
It’s always great to see local businesses thrive and it’s especially good to see them do so in an inclusive and sustainable way.
Drakes Foodland at Hallett Cove is known for ‘supporting local’ and what better way to do this than by employing people who have been struggling to find employment elsewhere for various reasons.
I was heartened to hear of an example of this recently where Drakes Foodland gave job seeker Giles Ewing, who has autism, a “new lease on life” after being approached by local employment service provider MatchWorks.
Great work Foodland and Giles!

In 1951, the Air Force's Wright Air Development Center, located at Wright Patterson Air Base (Ohio), concluded that the tactical cruise missile TM-61 "Matador", which was in service with the Air Force, has poor performance, given the prospects for the development of air defense of the USSR. The Center al-range ballistic missile, which at that time could not be intercepted technically. The Air Force's Tactical Air Command approved the concept, and soon the Air Force General Staff ordered the Air Force Research and Development Command to develop a detailed plan to build a new missile by June 1, 1955. By 1960, it was planned to start flight tests of the new missile.
Initially, the new missile development program was not considered a program of particular importance in the Air Force - the military focused more on improving the fleet of strategic bombers and the development of technology to build ICBMs. The situation with the development of a promising tactical missile for the Air Force radically changed in 1955 after the so-called Killian Committee to President D. Eisenhower. The report of the committee saideveloping MRBMs with a range of about 2,400 km. A new class of missiles was to be deployed both on land (on U.S. bases in Europe) and at sea (options were considered for basing new missiles on submarines as well as on special ships).s to intelligence, indicating that the USSR had already begun developing its own MRBMs. By the end of 1955, the Army, Air Force and Navy declared their fundamental readiness to start developing MRBMs. However, the beginning of concrete actions was hindered by uncertainty about which agency would be responsible for the development of new missiles. In November 1955, Minister of Defense Ch. Wilson announced that the Air Force woulds, and the joint Army / Navy team - for the development of sea-based MRBMs. In December 1955, President D. Eisenhower named the MRBM development program a top priority.
The ground-based missile developed by the Air Force was designated SM-75 "Thor" (the development of the missile was part of the WS-315A weapon system). In May 1955, the scientific and technical guidance for the program was transferred from the Air Force's Aircraft, California. In November of the same year, WDD began the final selection of the main contractor for the missile. Initially there were three candidates - Douglas Aircraft, Lockheed Aircraft, North American Aviation. After consideration of all proposals by the end of December 1955, the main contractor was named - the company "Douglas Aircraft" (the missile was designated DM-18).
When creating thethe power plant, control system, assembly of the BC / BC) was used unification with existing missile programs, primarily Atlas. North American Aviation's "Rocketdyne Division" was chosen as the main contractor for the power plant. The inertial control system was developed by General Motors' AC Spark Plug, and a duplicate/supplementary radio inertial control system allowing the missile to be controlled from a ground station (primarily during testing) was created by Bell Telephone Laboratories. The combat unit was created by General Electric Corporation, while the combat unit was traditionally developed by the Atomic Energy Commission.
Given the extreme rush caused by the Air Force's desire to overtake not only the USSR, but also the Army with its own MRBM "Jupiter", WDD classified the new program among the "maximum risk" programs. This prediction was confirmed - the first, second and third test launches in January, April and May 1957, respectively, from the Eastern Missile Range, Patrick Air Force Base, Florida, were unsuccessful. However, the womode of "three shifts, 7 days a week" has borne fruit - in August, the first flight was held, recognized as "partially successful". On September 20, 1957 the first fully successful launch of "Thor" MRSD took place. Despite these successes, the Air Force had cause for concern - the Thor program had the strongest rival, the Jupiter program of MRBM, which had similar characteristics to Thor. However, the fears did not come true - on a wave of unjustified panic (carefully spurred bych of the Soviet First Earth Satellite, President D. Eisenhower in October 1957, gave the order to begin mass production of both U.S. MRBM.
In December 1957, the President of the United States made a fundamental decision to deploy MRSD "Thor" on the European continent (previously considered and such exotic options as the placement of MRSD "Thor" in the state of Alaska near Fairbanks). In February 1958, a joint U.S.-British agreement "on mutual understanding" for the deployment of 4 squadrons of MRBM "Thor" (60 MRBM) was concluded. The British achieved for themselves the right to provide independent maintenance of missiles, which were to carry the identification marks of the Royal Air Force. However, combat units were to remain at the disposal of the U.S. Air Force Strategic Air Command and docked to MRBM only with the permission of the U.S. side (later it was stipulated the right of each party to use weapons in regular equipment without the consent of the partner in case of "emergency" - the so-called "Project E"). The transportation and material service of the missiles should have been provided to the maximum extent possible by the United States. The final agreement was signed in June 1958. An a British Air Force as part of the Thor MRBM deployment and further maintenance programme was signed in July. The programme to deploy new MRBMs in the UKa new weapons system, the U.S. Air Force SAC activated the 705th Strategic Missile Wing at Lakenheath Air Force Base, UK, in February 1958. The equipment and systems to be deployed began to move to the United Kingdom in August 1958. The first MRBM was handed over to the Royal Air Force in September of that year.
In June 1958, the first successful launch of the prototype BRSD "Thor" from the prototype of the standard launch unit was carried out from the airbase Patrick. The first successful launch of the system in standard equipment was carried out in November 1958 in the same place. Since December 1958, the launches were also carried out from the Western Missile Range, Vandenberg Air Base, California. The first launch of MRSD "Thor" by British personnel was made from the air base Vandenberg in April 1959 (operation "Lion's Roar"). In June of the same year, the first MRBM "Thor" base in the British Isles - airbase Feltuell, where the 77th strategic missile squadron of the Royal Air Force was located, was recognized suitable for further combat duty. In September 1959, the second base of MRBM "Thor" in the British Isles - Hemswell Air Base, where the 97th Strategic Missile Sas suitable for combat duty. In October, from the air base Vandenberg British personnel successfully completed the first launch of MRBM "Thor" on the combat training program (until June 1962, such launches were made 12). In November, the third base of MRBM "Thor" in the UK - Driffield, where the 98placed. In December 1959, the U.S. and Britain signed a joint protocol, which confirmed that the deployed by then on British territory MRBM " In April 1960, the deployment of MRBMam, where the 144. The first staff thermonuclear BC was docked to the MRBM for changing the designation system in the U.S. Air Force, the Thor missile was designated PGM-17A.
By spring 1962, the SAC Air Force had successfully deployed first-generation ICBMs (Atlas and Titan I), deployed second-generation systems (Minuteman I and Titan II), and successfully deployed nuclear-powered submarines with Polaris SLBMs on board. Given these factors, it became clear that land-based MRBMs were too vulnerable, especially Thor, whose EO were stationary. Therefore, as early as May 1962, U.S. Defense Secretary R. McNamara notified his British counterpart P. Tornickroft that after October 31, 1964 the U.S. ceased transport support of MRBMs deployed in Britain, P. Tornickroft notified the British Parliament about the forthcoming deactivation of BRSD "Thor" by December 31, 1963. However, despite the planned deactivation of MRBM data, the presence of a significant number of American missiles of the same class in Italy and Turkey, coupled with a clear American superiority in the number oftake similar measures. By October 1962, Soviet MRBMs were deployed in Cuba, takingtargets. The so-called "Caribbean crisis" that broke out in October 1962of American MRBMs iAn agreement was reached between the parties. The first MRBM "Thor" was taken off combat duty in late November 1962. The last MRBM on British territory was off duty in August 1963, and at the end of September it was sent to the USA by air. The final deactivation of MRBM63.
Evaluating the program "Thor", it can be noAmericans managed to create a fairly reliable MRBM, which provided a confident by the standards of the early 60's defeat of the main military and political targets in the USSR and the IAB. Unlike its rival, the Jupiter MRBM, the Thor missile was very actively used as a carrier rocket with various additional stages and later became the ancestor of the Delta LV family.
The Thor missile (a modification of the Thor DSV-2J) was the basis for one of the first U.S. space defense systems "Program 437" (see photo), which went on combat duty in August 1964 on the island of Johnston (Pacific Ocean). The system was on combat duty until 1975, although its expected effectiveness was low.
In total, 224 "Thor" missiles of various modifications were built.
The Thor rocket was designed according to the scheme with the tank supporting structure and was s
The power pack compartment bearing the MB-1 designation contained a liquid-propellant LR-79-NA-9 rocket engine and controls. Two auxiliary (vernier) liquid-propellant LR-101-NA-7 rocket engines were attached to the rear bulkhead of the compartment, which controlled the missile in the boost phase through a roll channel and were also used to adjust the missile speed after cutting off the marching engine. The missile was controlled through the pitch and yaw channels by deflecting the marching engine in the cardan suspension by up to 5°. All engines used a turbo-pump system to supply fuel without afterburning the gas generator. At the bottom of the engine compartment 4 stabilizers were attached to the body. The engine compartment was attached to the oxidizer tank (liquid oxygen), which, in turn, was connected to the central part of the rocket (the inter-tank compartment), where auxiliary equipment was placed, including the self-liquidation system of the rocket. This was followed by a tank with fuel (r.
The Mk2 combat unit, which contained a thermonuclear warfare unit W-49, was connected to the guidance and control system compartment. The missile casing was made of high-strength aluminum alloy. Sections of fuel tank compartments were assembled from panels with a waffle-type power pack,g. The missile's combat unit was a truncated cone with a pointed nose. At the base of the BC was the control and stabilization equipment of the BC after separation from the marching stage. The BMD was separated from the missile body after the vernacular engines had finished their work. Withdrawal of the ballistic missile from the ballistic missile booster stage was carried out with the help of low-power solid propellant engines located in the inter-bank compartment. Thermal-protective coating of the booster was carried out according to the scheme of absorption of thermal flows (further the variant of equipping the booster with a new Mk3 booster with ablative heat-protective coating was considered).
MRBM "Thor" were placed in thent with dimensions 76.2 * 15.2 m,The device with unfilled fuel components of MRSD was covered by a 30.5 m long light roof that was rolled back on rails. After receiving a launch order, the starting calculation rolled back the roof and brought the rocket with the help of lifts to a vertical position. After the rocket was installed, the process of high-speed refueling of the rocket with propellant components began, after which the rocket was considered ready for launch and all systems were checked. The entire procedure to prepare the missile for launch took no more than 15 minutes. After receiving the signal that the system was fully ready, the officer on duty initiated the launch. First, the marching engine was activated. The Vernier engines started after 2.5 seconds. The marshal engine had a running time of 157 seconds. After cutting off the thrust of the marching engine, the vernier engines made a precise correction of the rocket speed within 9 seconds. Then they were shut down and the pyrobolts that connected the HC with the marching stage body were triggered. Finally, the control system signal triggered the solid propellant withdrawal engines. The flight time for the maximum range was in its arsenal "Thor" BRS, had on duty 15 missiles, distributed on 5 starting positions (3 BRS on each position). The launcher of each missile was locatPA.

Testing of the complex began on April 21, 1995 at White Sands Range and continued with varying success until 1999. Only the ninth launch, on March 29, 1999, demonstrated the performance of the complex as a whole. During this flight, despite the failure of the interceptor's spatial orientation system for 23 seconds of flight and the termination of telemetry data reception for 58 seconds, the interceptor passed in close proximity to the Hera target missile.
During the tenth test launch on June 10, 1999, for the first time, a target simulating a SKAD missile was successfully intercepted and the technical feasibility of such an intercept was confirmed.
