CHARTERED in February, 1851, by the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Min­ nesota, the Univ~rsi~ of Minnesota 'YiIl soon c~le~rate its on~ hu?dr~dth ~irthday. While nearing thIS mIlestone, as from ItS very begmnmg, the Umvemty IS dedIcated to the task of t~aining the youth of today, the citizens of tOI?orrow. ~ow well it ~as suc­ ceeded is indIcated by th~ number of doctors, la~ers, en~ll~eers, SOCIa) workers, Journal­ ists dentists, farmers, busmessmen, and commumty and CIVIC leaders 10 all fields-good cit~ens all-who have gone from its several campuses to actively participate in the upgrading of the welfare of the citizens of our state. During the period of its existence, the University has awarded 96,608 degrees to its students who have completed the rigorous training dellIanded by the complexities and specialization of modem society. In addition to the enormous task of giving collegiate instruction to some twenty-five thousand students on its Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Duluth campuses, the University offers, through its Schools of Agriculture, its General Extension Division, and its short courses, specialized training designed to assist those who wish to study on a part-time basis. Still in addition, its staff members who are county agents, home demonstration agents, and recreation and health consultants give effective aid and assistance to citizens of the state in their very homes. But the University of Minnesota, like all great universities, has expanded far beyond its early teaching and training programs. In its diverse research laboratories on its three campuses, at the several agricultural experiment stations, at the Rosemount Research Center, and at the University Hospitals, its scientists at anyone moment are working on countless research experiments of vital interest to the future health and welfare of all of us. These projects deal with such matters as cancer, poliomyelitis, taxation, low-grade iron ore, cheese making, teacher training, municipal government, nuclear fission, new va­ rieties and strains of grains and fruits, supersonics and transonics, to mention only a few. THE UNIVERSITY is recognized as the cultural hub of the Northwest; it is the home of the Minneapolis Symphony, the University Artists Course, the Master Piano Series, the University Theatre, and of the local performances of the Metropolitan Opera Com­ pany. Through the University of Minnesota Concert and Lecture Service and the School Assembly Service, the University brings to more than a million and a half people, in the area it serves, artists and lecturers of quality and talent. The people of Minnesota are proud of their University, not because it is the second largest state university in the nation, but because of the extent and quality of its services from which they, their families, communities, and organizations benefit. Their interest in their University is a dynamic, living thing and expresses itself in many ways. Contri­ butions from them now make it possible for the great Mayo Memorial building and for the new Variety Club Heart Hospital to be erected over the coming months. Through the American Legion and the auxiliary posts all over the state, thousands of friends have made relatively small gifts to provide an endowed research professorship in heart dis­ eases. Gifts to the Greater University Fund, each appropriately called "A Share in Great­ ness," now being made especially by alumni, are worthy of special mention. All students at the University, their families, and friends are invited to continue their enthusiasm and interest in the University of Minnesota. Graduates are especially urged to identify themselves with the University Alumni Association and the Greater Univer­ sity Fund and to return as frequently as possible to visit us here at the University.

The first will be a great and total eclipse, on Friday March 15th, at 9h. 28m. morning, but by reason of the moon's south latitude, her shadow will not touch any part of North America. The course of the general eclipse will be from southwest to north- east, from the Pacific Ocean a little west of Chili to the Arabian Gulf and southeastern part of the Mediterranean Sea. The termination of this grand and sublime phenomenon will probably be witnessed from the summit of some of those stupendous monuments of ancient industry and folly, the vast and lofty pyramids on the banks of the Nile in lower Egypt. The principal cities and places that will be to- tally shadowed in this eclipse, are Valparaiso, Mendoza, Cordova, Assumption, St. Salvador and Pernambuco, in South America, and Sierra Leone, Teemboo, Tombucto and Fezzan, in Africa. At each of these places the duration of total darkness will be from one to six minutes, and several of the planets and fixed stars will probably be visible. 2. The other will also be a grand and beautiful eclipse, on Satur- day, September 7th, at 5h. 35m. evening, but on account of the Mnon's low latitude, and happening so late in the afternoon, no part of it will be visible in North America.

No.1 Smiths Square 77-85 Fulham Palace Road London W6 8JA T. +44 (0)207 981 9801 E. [email protected] www.passiondistribution.com WELCOME I’m delighted to welcome you to the second edition of our pop-up market and share with you our latest catalogue this autumn. Although it has been a challenging time for everyone, we have worked tirelessly to bring together a slate of quality programming for your schedules. Extraordinary human stories, iconic historical moments, premium documentaries and essential entertainment remain some of our key priorities. Our slate doesn’t disappoint in delivering new programmes of immense quality. Perhaps a sign of the times, our line-up includes a strong offering of history programming. The new landmark series 1000 Years brings together some of the most talented UK producers to chart the extraordinary rise of six countries that have profoundly shaped our world. WELCOME We also take a closer look at the Nuremberg trials – one of the 21st century’s defining events – by casting new light on the “trial of the century” in time for the 75th anniversary in November. On a lighter note in our factual entertainment section some other key franchises return with new episodes. Emma Willis has welcomed new babies in lockdown, Traffic Cops have remained on patrol, and we continue to see dramatic stories unfold in the access-driven Inside the Police Force. As you’d expect, a new series of the US hit-show RuPaul’s Drag Race has been announced – this incredible global phenomenon is now in its 13th season.

  • Probablemente El Diablo: El Terror Elíptico De La Séptima Víctima
    PROBABLEMENTE EL DIABLO: EL TERROR ELÍPTICO DE LA SÉPTIMA VÍCTIMA Francisco García Gómez Universidad de Málaga RESUMEN La séptima víctima, la primera película dirigida por Mark Robson, constituye un magnífico ejemplo de la concepción del terror que tenía el productor Val Lewton. Su cuarto filme para la RKO, el primero no dirigido por Jacques Tourneur, pone de manifiesto que Lewton era el auténtico responsable de su ciclo fantástico. PALABRAS CLAVE: RKO, Val Lewton, Mark Robson, serie B, terror, satanismo, paladismo. ABSTRACT «Probably the Devil: The Elliptical Terror in The Seventh Victim». The Seventh Victim, first film directed by Mark Robson, is a magnificent example of the producer Val Lewton’s terror concept. His fourth RKO film, the first without Jacques Tourneur, reveals that Lewton was the genuine responsible of his fantastic cycle. KEY WORDS : RKO, Val Lewton, Mark Robson, B Film, terror, satanism, paladism. 163 Una película a redescubrir y reivindicar, ése es el caso de La séptima víctima (The Seventh Victim, 1943), la cuarta del ciclo de nueve cintas de terror de serie B producidas por Val Lewton en la RKO entre 1942 y 19461. Dirigida por Mark Robson en su debut como realizador, fue además la primera cuya dirección no corrió a cargo de Jacques Tourneur, tras La mujer pantera (Cat People, 1942), Yo anduve con un zombi (I Walked with a Zombie, 1943) y El hombre leopardo (The Leopard Man, 1943). Precisamente a consecuencia de los grandes éxitos de público obtenidos con estas tres, el estudio decidió separar al tándem Lewton-Tourneur, convencido de que rendirían el doble por separado, poniendo en seguida al francés al frente de mayores presupuestos.

  • Information Theory and the Length Distribution of All Discrete Systems
    Information Theory and the Length Distribution of all Discrete Systems Les Hatton1* Gregory Warr2** 1 Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing, Kingston University, London, UK 2 Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, USA. * [email protected] ** [email protected] Revision: $Revision: 1.35 $ Date: $Date: 2017/09/06 07:30:43 $ Abstract We begin with the extraordinary observation that the length distribution of 80 million proteins in UniProt, the Universal Protein Resource, measured in amino acids, is qualitatively identical to the length distribution of large collections of computer functions measured in programming language tokens, at all scales. That two such disparate discrete systems share important structural properties suggests that yet other apparently unrelated discrete systems might share the same properties, and certainly invites an explanation. We demonstrate that this is inevitable for all discrete systems of components built from tokens or symbols. Departing from existing work by embedding the Conservation of Hartley-Shannon information (CoHSI) in a classical statistical mechanics framework, we identify two kinds of discrete system, heterogeneous and homogeneous. Heterogeneous systems contain components built from a unique alphabet of tokens and yield an implicit CoHSI distribution with a sharp unimodal peak asymptoting to a power-law. Homogeneous systems contain components each built from arXiv:1709.01712v1 [q-bio.OT] 6 Sep 2017 just one kind of token unique to that component and yield a CoHSI distribution corresponding to Zipf’s law. This theory is applied to heterogeneous systems, (proteome, computer software, music); homogeneous systems (language texts, abundance of the elements); and to systems in which both heterogeneous and homogeneous behaviour co-exist (word frequencies and word length frequencies in language texts).

In 2015, the American Liver Foundation launched our federal Advocacy Day in Washington, DC, a new annual initiative that will give us a greater voice on Capitol Hill. On behalf of 30 million Americans living with liver disease, our staff joined by members of our National Patient Advisory Committee (NPAC) made the case for increased allocations for liver research and a more pro-active public health response for testing and treatment for liver disease. Our media-trained and well-informed NPAC members are at the heart of the Foundation’s awareness raising activities. By courageously and generously sharing their stories, these men and women put a human face on liver disease, and give voice to the needs and concerns of liver patients everywhere. Until very recently, the liver was rarely featured in the news outside of celebrity illnesses related to liver failure or hepatitis C. This is changing and for the better, and ALF’s persistence and presence has played an important role in this transition. In 2015, rarely did a week go by without a mention of liver wellness or liver disease in the mainstream media as our aggressive communications strategy leveraged media opportunities like Veterans Day, Liver Awareness Month and local events to drive coverage.
