The Western Canada Party(WCP) is a Canadian political party that advocates the separation from Canada of the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba as well as the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut to form a new country. The WIP ran 52 candidates across western Canada in the federal election of 1988. All the candidates were soundly defeated with none garnering even 1% of the popular vote in any riding. The party also has or had provincial branches in each of the provinces. The federal wing of the Western Independence Party was dormant; they have not run any candidates in any federal elections since 1988. The party has been resurrected in April, 2005 at a founding convention in Strathmore, AB under the new name "Western Canada Party. "

Investigators have not yet pinpointed what caused the severe up-and-down fluctuations that brought down a record-setting unmanned flying wing during a test flight from Hawaii in June, a NASA official said Monday.... The solar-electric, propeller-driven aircraft had a 247-foot wingspan.... Helios was flying under the guidance of ground-based mission controllers for AeroVironment Inc. of Monrovia, Calif., the plane's builder and operator. It was one of several remotely piloted aircraft whose technological development NASA has sponsored.... The prototype, powered by solar cells during the day and by fuel cells at night, was designed to fly at altitudes of up to 100, 000 feet. It was designed for atmospheric science and imaging missions as well as telecommunications relay work.

Differential adjustment : An aircraft has its wing defined as a wing-like body with a tangential flow rotor in the leading edge. A shroud, under the lower part of the tangential flow rotor, terminates in at least one movable flap defining a lift-generating lip when the rotor is rotating such that the upper part of the rotor, projecting above the level of the upper surface of the wing-like body, is moving rearwardly. Differential adjustment of the flaps in the wings to either side of an aircraft centerline allows directional control and control of banking of the aircraft.

Something that would make ecologists happy is a clean airplane. And the Ipanema, Brazil' s first totally alcohol-powered aircraft, is almost off the ground. The project has been in development for two years, under the wing of Neiva, a division of the aircraft manufacturer Embraer and Brazil' s largest agricultural aircraft manufacturer. The Ipanema does not pollute because, unlike conventionally fuelled engines, its alcohol-fuelled engine releases no lead residues into the atmosphere. However, for farmers, the real advantage is low operating cost. "Alcohol is four times less expensive than regular aviation fuel. So, while the alcohol engine consumes a little more fuel, just like automobiles, the bottom line is a savings of about 60 percent"... The alcohol-fuelled engine also boasts five percent more power. This slight advantage will allow the plane to carry extra quantities of crop-dusting products. Another advantage is that this type of engine runs cooler, giving it a longer maintenance cycle and useful life... The aircraft is still in the approval process, so the first alcohol-powered Ipanema will not fly until March 2005, after it has been completely certified.

ACAS's story begins over a hundred years ago when the government set up a voluntary conciliation and arbitration service in 1896. Apart from a name change or two-to the Industrial Relations Service in 1960 and a Conciliation and Advisory Service in 1972-the basic services was much the same and remained firmly under the government's wing. Then in 1974 the modern organization was born. Renamed the Conciliation and Arbitration Service it was moved away from the government and set up with an independent council to direct it. "Advisory" was added to the name in 1975 to reflect the full range of services on offer.
