THE DOMINATORS


 THE DOMINATORS.   Written by Norman Ashby.   5 episodes.
                   10th August - 7th September 1968.
                 
 COMPANIONS:- Jamie and Zoe.

   The Doctor returns to the planet Dulkis to visit the Dulcians, a pacifist
 race. There he encounters the Dominators and their servant robots, the
 Quarks. The Dominators are a violent race who are planning to invade the
 galaxy and have sent two of their number to Dulkis to collect fuel. They
 land on an island which had been used as a nuclear test range during the
 Dulcians' warring period.
   The island has been cleansed of its radiation by the Dominators who use
 it for fuel. They drill a bore hole using Dulcian slaves, planning to
 drop a nuclear seed device into the core of the planet, turning it into a
 radioactive cinder and providing a refuelling point for their fleet.
   The Doctor manages to divert the seed when it is dropped and places it
 aboard the Dominators' ship just prior to take off. The ship is destroyed
 and the threat averted. Then a lava flow begins to descend....
   This story was written by Mervyn Haisman and Henry Lincoln under the pen-
 name of Norman Ashby and is available from BBC Video.

Evidence supporting quantum information processing in animals

              Evidence supporting quantum            information processing in animals                    James A. Donald                    1068 Fulton Av                    Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1505                    USA I show that quantum systems can rapidly solve some problems for which finite state machines require a non- polynomially large time. This class of problems is closely related to the class of problems that animals can solve rapidly and effortlessly, but are intractable for computers by all known algorithms. 1. Introduction      Animals, including very simple animals, can rapidly and effortlessly perceive objects, whereas computers take nonpolynomial time to do this by all...

ARMIES OF CHAOS

                          ARMIES OF CHAOS -      Before anyone proposes more gun control, he or she should know  about a simple, deadly weapon 4 times as powerful as Dirty Harry's  legendary .44 Magnum -- and at least twice as concealable -- that  _can't_ controlled.        This simple, deadly weapon can be made by anyone -- even a  child -- with unpowered hand tools in an hour's time using $5 worth  of materials, most of which are available around the house anyway.   In traditional form it's reusable an unlimited number of times, and  modern plastics have rendered its disposable version electronically  undetectable.  You can clear a room with such a weapon (more of a  hand-held directional grenade than a gun -- sort of a recycleable  Claymore mine) and it's just one of hundreds of similar time-proven  designs. ...
