Lilian Brandt (1873–1951) was an American author, historian, philanthropist, and social reformer. She is noted for her involvement in social welfare-related projects, particularly her works that compiled and interpreted statistical and factual information for social workers. Brandt was also a historian of the Russell Sage Foundation.

Background 
Brandt was born May 15, 1873 in Indianapolis. She graduated at Wellesley College, where she also completed a master's degree in economics and history in 1901. It is said that her graduate studies reoriented her focus from humanities to practical social science and reform. Her thesis  called The Negroes of St. Louis: A Statistical Study was later published by the American Statistical Association.

After completing her undergraduate studies, Brandt started teaching history and classical languages in different colleges. Her early work on social welfare attracted the attention of Edward T. Devine, who appointed her in 1902 as the secretary of the Charity Organization Society's Bureau of Labor Statistics. She was also a fellow of the College Settlements Association, which is a group of "college women" who were interested in social settlement work. Brandt served as a mentor to fellow social reformer Mary van Kleeck in New York City before World War I.

Brandt died June 4, 1951. She was 78 years old.

Works 
The Negroes of St. Louis: A Statistical Study is considered one of Brandt's notable works due to its groundbreaking conclusions. In this study, she explored the issue of poverty among African-Americans. One of her findings revealed that Black entrepreneurs had the tendency to draw in, close off, and target people of their own race. Other related works that directly addressed poverty include The Causes of Poverty (1908), which highlighted the assumptions that explained the persistent differences in the conceptualization of poverty as well as the consequences of these differences in theoretical orientations.

Brandt also worked as a statistician for the New York Charity Organization Society's Committee on the Prevention of Tuberculosis. During this period she published two pioneering studies, The Social Aspects of Tuberculosis and the Facts about Tuberculosis. These publications identified the socioeconomic factors that contributed to the persistence of the disease. She also suggested that data in many of America's largest cities have underestimated the death rates from tuberculosis.

Luis Alonso Anaya Merino (born May 19, 1981) is a Salvadoran former professional football player. He was banned for life in 2013, for match fixing while playing for the El Salvador national football team.

Club career
Anaya started his senior career at local side San José, before moving to Salvadoran Second Division side Platense where he stayed for almost 8 years.

In May 2005, he made his debut in the Primera División de Fútbol de El Salvador for Salvadoran giants FAS against Águila, whom he joined after winning the 2005 Clausura title with FAS a month after that debut.

In 2008, he signed with Chalatenango, only to move on to Alianza in the same year.

He joined CD UES for the 2010 Apertura season.

International career
Anaya officially received his first cap on October 7, 2006, in a friendly match against Panama.

He scored his first goal for the national team on August 22, 2007, in a friendly match against Honduras.

His second, and most important goal came almost a year later on June 22, 2008, in a FIFA World Cup qualification match against Panama.

His 87th-minute goal, led El Salvador to a 3–1 win, and in doing so helped secured the national team a spot in the following round of qualification.

He has earned a total of 35 caps, scoring 2 goals. He has represented his country in 8 FIFA World Cup qualification matches and played at the 2007 UNCAF Nations Cup. He also was a non-playing squad member at the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

He did not play for his country since an October 2008 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Suriname and was only over two years later called up for the 2011 Copa Centroamericana by then coach José Luis Rugamas.

With Rubén Israel as coach, Anaya was called up to take part at the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup where he earned 4 caps in 4 games.

Anaya received two yellow cards at the semi-finals match against Panama for complaining.

In a friendly match against Venezuela, on 7 August 2011, Anaya was sent off with two yellow cards, because he complained and celebrated in front of the technical area of the Venezuelans.

On September 20, 2013, Anaya was one of 14 Salvadoran players banned for life due to their involvement with match fixing.

Miller & Mayo, later Miller, Mayo & Beal, was a prominent architectural firm from Portland, Maine, established in Lewiston in 1907.

History
Miller & Mayo was established in January 1907 as the partnership of Lewiston architect William R. Miller and his head draftsman, Raymond J. Mayo. Seeking greater opportunities, they moved the office to Portland a year later, in 1908. The office had already had an essentially statewide reputation, but a move to Portland, the state's largest city, allowed work to be done there and in its suburbs.

The firm's work was diverse, but they placed special importance on the design of school buildings.

At about the same time Mayo became partner, Lester I. Beal was hired as a draftsman. In 1926, he became a partner, the firm becoming Miller, Mayo & Beal. That firm was dissolved in 1929 upon the withdrawal of Raymond J. Mayo, who opened his own office. The office became Miller & Beal, and Miller died on December 14. However, Beal continued to run the office as Miller & Beal, Inc.

Henry James Montagu-Scott, 2nd Baron Montagu of Boughton  (16 December 1776 – 30 October 1845)

Early life
Lord Henry James Scott was born on 16 December 1776. He was the youngest son of Lady Elizabeth Montagu (1743–1827) and Henry Scott, 3rd Duke of Buccleuch. His elder siblings were Lady Elizabeth Scott (wife of Alexander Home, 10th Earl of Home), Lady Mary Scott (wife of James Stopford, 3rd Earl of Courtown), Charles Montagu-Scott, 4th Duke of Buccleuch, Lady Caroline Scott (wife of Charles Douglas, 6th Marquess of Queensberry).

His paternal grandparents were Francis Scott, Earl of Dalkeith (son of Francis Scott, 2nd Duke of Buccleuch) and the former Caroline Campbell. His maternal grandparents were Lady Mary Montagu and George Montagu, 1st Duke of Montagu.

Lord Henry was educated at Eton and St. John's College, Cambridge.

Career
On his maternal grandfather's death in 1790, when the Dukedom of Montagu became extinct, the Barony passed under a special remainder to Lord Henry Scott. Lord Henry also inherited the Lordship of Bowland from his mother, the Duchess, having the title entailed upon him by his nephew, the 5th Duke, in 1827.

In 1823, he was appointed Lord-Lieutenant of Selkirkshire, succeeding Francis Napier, 8th Lord Napier and holding office until his death in 1845.

Personal life
On 22 November 1804, Scott was married to Hon. Jane Margaret Douglas, the daughter of Archibald Douglas, 1st Baron Douglas and, his first wife, Lady Lucy Graham (the daughter of William Graham, 2nd Duke of Montrose and Lady Lucy Manners). Together, they were the parents of four daughters:

 Hon. Lucy Elizabeth Montagu-Scott (1805–1877), who married her first cousin, Cospatrick Home, 11th Earl of Home, son of Alexander Home, 10th Earl of Home and Lady Elizabeth Scott.
 Mary Margaret Montagu-Scott (1807–1885), who married Lt.-Col. Frederick Clinton, son of Lt.-Gen. Sir William Henry Clinton and Hon. Louisa Dorothea Holroyd (a daughter of John Baker-Holroyd, 1st Earl of Sheffield).
 Jane Caroline Montagu-Scott (1808–1846), who died unmarried.
 Hon. Caroline Georgiana Montagu-Scott (1811–1891), who married George William Hope, son of Gen. Sir Alexander Hope (a son of son of John Hope, 2nd Earl of Hopetoun) and Georgiana Brown.

Lord Montagu died on 30 October 1845. Upon his death, and with no male issue, the title of Montagu of Boughton became extinct.

In probability theory, a continuity correction is an adjustment that is made when a discrete distribution is approximated by a continuous distribution.

Examples

Binomial

If a random variable X has a binomial distribution with parameters n and p, i.e., X is distributed as the number of "successes" in n independent Bernoulli trials with probability p of success on each trial, then

for any x ∈ {0, 1, 2, ... n}.  If np and np(1 − p) are large (sometimes taken as both ≥ 5), then the probability above is fairly well approximated by

where Y is a normally distributed random variable with the same expected value and the same variance as X, i.e., E(Y) = np and var(Y) = np(1 − p).  This addition of 1/2 to x is a continuity correction.

Poisson

A continuity correction can also be applied when other discrete distributions supported on the integers are approximated by the normal distribution.  For example, if X has a Poisson distribution with expected value λ then the variance of X is also λ, and

if Y is normally distributed with expectation and variance both λ.

Applications
Before the ready availability of statistical software having the ability to evaluate probability distribution functions accurately, continuity corrections played an important role in the practical application of statistical tests in which the test statistic has a discrete distribution: it had a special importance for manual calculations. A particular example of this is the binomial test, involving the binomial distribution, as in checking whether a coin is fair. Where extreme accuracy is not necessary, computer calculations for some ranges of parameters may still rely on using continuity corrections to improve accuracy while retaining simplicity.

A clip-on nut, also known as a sheet metal nut or a speed nut (but this is ambiguous, see speed nut), is a type of nut designed to be clipped to sheet metal. It is a type of captive nut commonly made as a cage nut.

Types
They come in many forms based upon: where they clip on, shape, and type of thread. Each clip-on nut is designed for only a small range of sheet metal gauges (thicknesses). They are usually made from spring steel.

G-nut
A G-nut, or G-style nut, is shaped like a "G" and clips to the edge of a sheet metal object. It is different from all of the other types in that it is meant to clip over a small flange on the edge of the sheet metal. The threads are from an integrated nut that has a special boss to sit in a hole in the sheet metal.

J-nut
A J-nut is a nut that clips to the edge of the sheet metal. It is named after the way it is shaped; the thread is on the long side of the "J". The thread may either be of a speed nut form or have an integrated hex or square nut. Due to the short retaining leg the nut is allowed to float more, which can help with misalignment, but the nut is free to un-clip from the sheet metal as well.

S-nut
An S-nut, or S-style nut, is shaped like an "S". It is designed to clip on the edge of a sheet metal object. The threads are provided by an integrated nut.

Square style
A square style clip-on nut does not clip onto the edge of the sheet metal, but rather the edges of a square hole or slot. It is a square nut that has a sheet metal retainer that protrudes down two sides of the nut. These legs are formed to have lips that grab onto the sheet metal object. Prior to tightening the nut, it can float in the hole or slot, but when the nut is tightened it presses the lips of the retainer out and anchors itself in place.

U-nut

A U-nut is very similar to a J-nut except that both legs are the same length. Because of this a retaining clip is usually formed on the leg without the threads. This helps keep the nut in place while not screwed down. The thread may be of a speed nut style, integrated nut, or have an extruded portion that is tapped. There are "standard" and "wide-panel" versions; the standard version has a solid hinge section, whereas the wide-panel version has a longer hinge with the center section cut-away to allow for easier installation.
