'''Science World''' is a non-profit [[Science museum|science centre]] in [[Vancouver]], [[British Columbia]], [[Canada]], at the end of [[False Creek]]. There are many permanent interactive exhibits and displays, as well as areas with varying topics throughout the years.

The building's official name is ''Telus World of Science''.

==History==

In [[1977]], Barbara Brink ran mobile hands-on exhibits known as the ''Extended I'' around the Lower Mainland. Later, the temporary ''Arts, Sciences & Technology Centre'' opened on January 15, [[1982]] attracting over 600,000 visitors. Another 400,000 benefitted from the centre’s outreach programs, which were delivered around the province.

Following the [[Expo 86]] World’s Fair, an intensive lobbying campaign was launched to secure the landmark Expo Centre building for Science World. With much government backing, the geodesic dome, designed by [[Buckminster Fuller]], was obtanied from the province and a massive fund-raising campaign ensued. Donations from the federal, provincial and municipal governments, the GVRD, the private sector, foundations and individuals contributed $19.1 million to build an addition to the Expo Centre, redesign the interior and fabricate exhibits. In [[1988]], in a four month preview, over 310,000 visitors came to see the new building. A year later they opened the world's largest [[OMNIMAX]] screen in the upper section of the dome, seating 400 people.

The centre entered its first title sponsorship agreement with [[Alcan|Alcan Inc.]] in 1996, renaming its OMNIMAX Theatre the ''Alcan OMNIMAX'' Theatre. In the summer of 2005, Science World officially changed the name of the entire building to the ''TELUS World of Science'', after lukewarm reaction to the proposed name ''Telusphere''. This was part of an agreement with [[Telus]], the centre's sponsor. The name change has been made on the exterior of the building, but not in the name of the nearby [[Main Street-Science World Station|Skytrain station]] nor by the general public, as it is still widely known as Science World.

There is an [http://www.petitiononline.com/telus04/petition.html online petition] requesting that Telus reconsider and withdraw its decision to rename Science World.

Precipitation (chemistry)

2005-11-09T22:18:40Z

64.12.116.199: /* Cation sensitivity */

: "Precipitate" redirects here, for the [[Interpol (band)|Interpol]] [[Extended play|EP]] see [[Precipitate (EP)]]

'''Precipitation''' is the condensation of a [[solid]] from a [[solution]] during a [[chemical reaction]]. This occurs when the solution is [[supersaturated]] (this includes the obvious case that an [[solubility|insoluble]] compound is present). In this situation, the solid forms from the solute phase, and usually sinks to the bottom of the solution (though it will float if less dense than the solvent).

This effect is useful in many industrial and scientific applications whereby a chemical reaction may produce a solid that can be collected from the solution by various methods (e.g. filtration, decanting, centrifuging). Precipitation from a [[solid solution]] is also a useful way to [[precipitation strengthening|strengthen]] [[alloy]]s.

An important stage of the precipitation process is the onset of [[nucleation]]. The creation of a hypothetical solid particle includes the formation of an interface, which requires some energy based on the relative [[surface energy]] of the solid and the solution. If this energy is not available, and no suitable nucleation surface is available, [[supersaturation]] occurs.

==Cation sensitivity==
Precipitate formation is useful in the detection of the type of [[cation]] in an unknown [[salt]]. To do this, an [[alkali]] first reacts with the unknown salt to produce a precipitate which is the hydroxide of the unknown salt.

To identify the cation, the colour of the precipitate and its solubility in excess are noted.

Similar processes are often used to separate chemically similar elements, such as the [[rare earth]] metals.

Project Jedi

{{POV check}}{{cleanup-verify}}
According to Glenn Wheaton, retired sergeant first class, this was a secret project run in the mid-1980s by US Special Forces, primarily out of Fort Bragg. The aim was to develop soldiers to a higher level of operational perception and combat effectiveness, through an extreme training program.
Extensive use was made of Kung-Fu instruction from internationally recognised Kung-Fu Master [http://www.worldkungfu.com/Master.html Guy Savelli], to improve mental focus, and improve one-on-one combat. Levels of perception targeted for development, included the following

*The ability to walk into a room, and be instantly be aware of every surrounding detail.
*Enhanced intuition, sensing the possible intentions or positions of an enemy.
*Invisibility, or the ability to move around in a stealthy manner without being noticed.
*Influencing other biological forms with the intent of your mind.

Various experiments were purportedly conducted at Goat Lab, a surgical training center for Special Forces troops. Goats are shot in the leg with a bolt gun in a sound proofed room. They are then taken to an operating theatre, anaesthetized, and special forces troops given the chance to dress the wound and nurse the goat back to health. Some people object to this treatment of goats.

Little else is known about Project Jedi at this time, pending further declassification of Special Forces documentation.

"Project Jedi" was brought back into play after post 9/11 bringing Seargant Glenn Wheaton, Peter Brusso, and Majour General Albert Subblebine out of retirement and back into the military. Guy Savelli was also contacted once again to show troops how to kill a goat just by looking at it and making it's heart stop. Guy Savelli was brought into play not becuase of Kung Fu, but becuase he practiced "Kun Tao", which is another form of martial arts, but possesses an paranormal sense to it's art. This only came into play becuase of Channon's Frist Earth Battalion manual, after making it becuase of his horrific nightmares of Vietnam as well as his peers suffering. The government wanted Channon to teach his manual, but refused becuase he knew it was something that would most likely never happen. Channon's First Earth Battalioni Manual was made to use nonlethal weapons in the art of war. If you would like to refer more to this matter of what he was talking about, you can read the book "Nonlethal Weapons: Terms and References".

Now when Guy Savelli first killed a goat at Fort Bragg with just looking at it, supposedly it came with side effects that was not well for the brain, which could cause long term damage. After the project got started, it went into "retirement". Only after 9/11 did the government bring back Project Jedi, and got a hold of Savelli once again. During the phase where Project Jedi was down, Savelli still practiced on animals by killing them with just looking at them, thus therefore he was back at Fort Bragg teaching special ops.

Now, a subject matter of some special ops, they try to train themselves to walk through walls, although this is paranormal matter, it can be done when you can really believe that it does not exist. I know it sounds Matrix, but if your brain is full maximized, and you can tell it, the walls are just atoms, your body is just atoms, thus therefore you should be able to walk through the wall. No one has sucessfuly done this as of my own knowledge, but it is still being practiced. The real information would be to try and get a hold of "Channon's First Earth Battalian Manual", which is supposedly 128 pages long. Also for further investigation, you should read the "Nonlethal Weapons:Terms and References", and also read up on the martial arts, "Kun Tao", rarely practiced, but mastered by Guy Savelli, who last time resided in Ohio.

Most of this information was gathered online, and believe it or not, Playboy, in May's 2005 issue. Trhe only real way to further your own information on this is to search for it yourself in old newspapers dated back in the 80's and get more information on the military people I have mentioned above. Only one can obtain such knowledge by researching it themselves, not gathering all from just one summary.

'''William B. "Curly Bill" Brocious''' ([[1857]]-[[1882]]) was a western [[outlaw]] and member of the [[Clanton Gang]].

Following the death of "Old Man" [[Newton Clanton]] after the [[Guadeloupe Canyon Massacre]] in July 1881, Brocious became leader of the Clanton Gang. He was later arrested for the death of Tombstone Marshal [[Fred White]] following an incident where Brocious's gun discharged, whether purposely or accidentally, while surrendering it to White and deputy [[Virgil Earp]]. Although charged for murder by Earp, Brocious was later acquitted by a jury as an accidental death.

In July 1881 Brocious and [[Johnny Ringo]] rode into [[Hauchita]], [[New Mexico]] and killed William and Isaac Haslett in revenge for the deaths of Clanton members [[Bill Leonard]] and [[Harry Head]] who had attempted to rob the Haslett brothers general store weeks earlier. Later that month Brocious led an ambush attacking a Mexican trail herd in the [[San Luis Pass]] killing six [[vaqueros]] and torturing the remaining eight men.

Returning to [[Tombstone, Arizona|Tombstone]] following the [[Gunfight at the O.K. Corral]], Brocious attempted to kill Virgil Earp and later killed [[Morgan Earp]]. After several stagecoach robberies, Brocious was issued a warrant for [[Wyatt Earp]] by Sheriff [[Johnny Behan]] and sent to bring back Earp who was hiding in the [[Whetstone Mountains]] outside town. Earp, who was also looking for Brocious in revenge for the death of his brothers, encountered Brocious at [[Iron Springs]]. Intending to bring Brocious in, Earp was informed by Brocious of the arrest warrant and killed Brocious with a shotgun blast.
