THE SAVAGES


 THE SAVAGES.   Written by Ian Stuart Black.   4 episodes.
                28th May - 18th June 1966.
             
 COMPANIONS:- Steven and Dodo.

   The Doctor and his companions land on a barren sandy planet inhabited
 by two races, the Elders and the Savages. The TARDIS crew are taken to the
 Elders' capital to meet Jano, leader of the city. The Elders appear to
 have reached the peak of civilisation being strong, healthy, intelligent
 and tanned. In contrast, the Savages are a pale, timid folk eking out an
 existence and living in fear of the Elders.
   Dodo and Steven are taken on a tour of the Elders city and Dodo wanders
 off. She comes across a laboratory where the Elders' secret is revealed.
 They are strong and vibrant because they are draining the life force and
 energy from the Savages.
   The Doctor refuses to believe this story until Jano drains some of his
 life force into his body. Jano inherits some of the characteristics of the
 Doctor and develops a conscience. He goes to the Savages and leads them in
 an attack to destroy the transferrence lab. The Elders and Savages choose
 Steven to be their leader and the Doctor and Dodo leave him to his task.

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. ...
