...teleportation, in short, is the transmission of characteristics--that is, the quantum state of a particular photon, or particle of light--from one place to another. While it falls short of a capability to beam people or objects to remote locations, it's much more than just sending a fax. The original is destroyed, but every one of its distinguishing features is re-created elsewhere. Researchers believe quantum teleportation will someday translate into many breakthrough applications ranging from uncrackable encryption methods to quantum computers that will run billions of times faster than today's fastest machines...
There is nothing subtle about this tax haven. Websites boast how easy it is to create a limited-liability company here in 24 hours, by phone, by fax or online - no need to show up in person. Unlike some other offshore centers that require at least two people to form a corporation, only one is needed here. And for a fee, anonymity is assured. "We have a large database of shelf corporations available so that you can establish a history for your company," touts an ad for one service firm on the territory. Is it the Cayman Islands? Monaco...
...trusted the United States and was betrayed." The BIA has looked into the family's claims and says that while the records for Moses Bruno's account may not be complete, "no instance of malfeasance was found in the records that we examined." In a fax to TIME, the agency stated that "understandably, the family did not review these files with a historian's commitment to objectivity...
...equipment, including a computer and fax machine, all donated by Ho, will enable Mangxi to share vital data with Kunming, 280 miles away, and with Ho's group in the U.S. Yunnan's first case of HIV infection was discovered in Mangxi in 1989. Presumably the virus has been circulating here the longest; being able to include patients from the region in his study will enable Ho to tell how quickly the virus is mutating and which strains should be part of his experimental inoculation...
...unethical to not do what we do." Since 1999, HLS has been pounded by a group called SHAC, or Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty, formed in November 1999 with one aim: to close down HLS. The group has identified and harassed HLS executives, employees, shareholders, suppliers and partners through telephone, fax and e-mail onslaughts. The SHAC attackers scream "murderer," "pervert" and "torturer" during demonstrations outside HLS's gates. They beat drums and screech on plastic whistles at "home demos" (protests outside the residences of company directors and employees). They mount "invasions" of firms doing business with HLS and industry conferences...
