Citations missing date September 2007 Edward Arthur Wilson , better known as Brother XII , July 25, 1878 November 7, 1934? was a notorious English Mysticism mystic who founded a spiritual community in the Pacific Northwest near Canada s Nanaimo region in the late 1920s. History Born in Birmingham , England, Wilson attracted a devoted following of wealthy, socially prominent followers. As Brother XII, he established an organization called the Aquarian Foundation in 1927, which owed its origins to the teachings of the Theosophical Society . Wilson encouraged the society s members to build homes at the colony headquarters. With the goal of being a self sufficient community separate from the outside world, the Foundation acquired additional property on nearby Valdes Island Valdes and De Courcy Island s through the donation of a wealthy socialite from Asheville, North Carolina . Claiming to be the reincarnation of the Egypt ian god Osiris , Wilson took command of the colony and its funds, becoming increasingly dictatorial and paranoid, fortifying his island kingdom, accumulating a fortune in gold, and acting unilaterally without the consent of the original Foundation Governors. His mistress Mabel Skottowe, n e Rowbotham under the name Madame Z worked the members unceasingly, the tasks given being considered tests of their fitness to advance spiritually. As conditions at the colony deteriorated, the disciples eventually revolted. One man, who had been imprisoned in a cellar on the northern end of Valdes Island, managed to find a rowboat and row to Nanaimo to report the circumstances ...

GEKKO XII nihongo XII is a high power 12 beam neodymium doped glass laser at the Osaka University s Institute for Laser Engineering completed in 1983, which is used for high energy density physics and inertial confinement fusion research. The name refers to the twelve individual beamlines used to amplify the laser energy. Unlike most other modern ICF lasers which are optical frequency multiplier frequency tripled to the third harmonic, the GEKKO XII is only frequency doubled to 532 nm green light . Compared to most Nd glass laser ICF experiments GEKKO is also quite small, with beamlines about 10 m long. The 12 beams of the GEKKO laser are capable of delivering about 10 kilojoules per 1 2 ns pulse 10 20 terawatts . In 1996 1997 the GEKKO system was upgraded with a 0.4 kJ, 0.5 PW ultra short pulse beam which was used to investigate a promising new technique of ICF known as fast ignition , where the compression phase of target implosion is decoupled from the heating phase. GEKKO, using the petawatt beam for heating, along with the original beams for compression, demonstrated a fusion yield enhancement of 3 orders of magnitude when the petawatt beam was used. ref Nuclear fusion Fast heating scalable to laser fusion ignition , Kodama et al., Nature 2002 ref GEKKO is currently being upgraded with the addition of a second side by side laser, the LFEX Laser for Fast Ignition Experiment , part of the FIREX 1 program, in order to deliver a 10 kJ pulse of energy to a target in 10 picoseconds, further exploring the fast ignition regime.
