Note: This article assumes you have a working knowledge of EFT. Newcomers can still learn from it but are advised to peruse our Free Gold Standard (Official) EFT Tutorial™ for a more complete understanding.
Here's a quality approach for this devastating problem by Sejual Shah of the UK. She skillfully displays many EFT principles and says, "More than a year since our work, she continues to feel neutral about the event. She obviously wishes it had never happened, but recognises that it no longer has to hold her back. She has made further significant changes in her life to help her express her identity more freely."
By Sejual Shah
When a person is raped it often opens up such deep feelings of conflict that it's not always easy to help them resolve the impact of that memory. With EFT the process is so much simpler as we neutralise each branch of the toxic tree, and then create the space to help them review critical decisions they'd made about themselves and their lives at the time of the event.
"Sarah" was raped when she was 14 years old. She had pushed the memory into a box and buried the issue not knowing what to do with it for over a decade. She came to my therapy practice for help with her focus in her academic career and the memory intruded again. Over the course of 4 sessions we relieved the extreme distress she had been living with at being raped and Sarah gained visible benefits.
Using the Movie Technique we started with the lead up to the event. There was anger at her friend, "Melanie" for leaving her with the attacker, and unease at herself for venturing beyond her normal boundaries.pro
Even though I'm furious at Melanie for deserting me when she knew I was so uncomfortable with his presence…
Even though I feel betrayed by my own friend which led to a greater betrayal…
Even though I had alarm bells ringing in my mind which I somehow didn't heed…
Even though I feel guilt for having this Little Miss Adventure within me that got me into such a desperate situation…
Sarah's first internal conflict was about this part of her who sought adventure and excitement in her teens and brought on such a distressing outcome. If she'd not had this Little Miss Adventure then she would not have gotten raped. This was a part of Sarah that she did not like and wanted nothing to do with. To this extent Sarah blamed herself. Such self-blame and the accompanying guilt had been twisting her up inside over the years. We tapped on her resentment of this part of herself.
Even though I feel so upset that Melanie can feel free to express herself but I can't let Little Miss Adventure out.
Even though I can never express what I want, my needs are not important enough…
Even though I don't know what I want much of the time, what if I could start trusting in my own responses?
I made a mental note to return to this issue after we had cleared more of the distress about the event. There remained too much self-blame in Sarah's thoughts to change her assessment of herself as yet. We turned to the image she had in her mind about her attacker.
Even though I hate that man for being a skanky dirty ****…
Even though his friend freaked me out by putting his head on my lap and then kissing me when I didn't want him to…
Inevitably we had to tap on anger at herself for not stopping the friend from groping her. With situations of sexual violence where the victim knows the attacker, there is further conflict involving, "why didn't I stop them?" With EFT we can go in and tap through these internal arguments to bring about peace and clarity of mind.
Even though I should have stopped him…
Sarah noted that talking about being kissed felt as though there was still a solid dull silver cylinder in her pelvis area. Tapping that feeling changed it from being significantly solid to barely there.
When we got to the crescendo of the movie, we calmed every mental image of distress that came up quickly and safely for her, sneaking up on each one to keep the process as gentle as possible. We tapped on (1) the small space of the van that was disgusting and which he lived in, (2) the dirtiness of his sheets, (3) the shame and feeling of being unclean at him performing oral sex on her (4) the physical pain of being penetrated (5) distress that she couldn't scream at him at the end of the rape because she needed his help to get back to the centre of town as she didn't know her way and (6) the upset his throwaway comment created when he said he 'didn't want to get a 14 year old pregnant'.
However, the mental conflict that needed deeper work was that she couldn't say no out loud at first although she had been saying it in her mind all along. The feeling of conflict left her blaming herself. It brought up a memory of her brother physically hitting her when she wouldn't smile for a family photograph as a toddler. Her parents at the time acted as if nothing had happened but she felt hurt that nobody had cared. As her parents hadn't spoken up, she felt thereafter unable to speak up for herself. Tapping through this root memory was important to overcoming the conflict she experienced in her teens.
We returned to the issue of being free to express who she is and trusting in her own judgment. Having cleared her conflict about not being able to speak up for herself, she found she could now use her voice to be clear about her needs. This from feeling she had no space for herself to speak up for herself.
Returning to the crescendo of the movie, we went through it several times picking up on new mental images that distressed her. Testing the work we'd done was vital to making sure she was free of its effects.
Even after clearing all the distress that accompanied her being raped, we had one final fear about the rape distress coming up again in the further work she wanted to do. We tapped on how she'd achieved lasting calm with other events we'd cleared with EFT so why would this be different?
When Sarah came for her next appointment I commented on her appearance. From not caring much about how she'd looked in her first 4 appointments, she was using makeup expertly applied, looking happier and more at ease with her identity. She agreed that she wanted to improve on her appearance and start enjoying life more.
As we moved on to work on other issues not related to the rape, that change in her appearance and new-found confidence remained. And the memory of being raped didn't come up in the other work we did.
More than a year since our work on the rape, she continues to feel neutral about the event. She obviously wishes it had never happened, but recognises that it no longer has to hold her back. She has made further significant changes in her life to help her express her identity more freely.

Benefits of sixth form boarding schools
- 18 November 2020 -
Alexandra Collingwood, head of sixth form at Ackworth School, shares why boarding school could be the best place for a sixth former to thrive and flourish, both academically and pastorally.
Here are her top five benefits of sixth form boarding schools:
1) Bolsters academic growth
Sixth form students who board with Ackworth have access to tutors 'out of hours' during designated prep (study) time, so, not only are they making strides in their learning in school, but they have the chance to further this by getting extra educational support. Even outside of prep time, thanks to a digital learning approach, advice from teachers and tutors is only a message or email away. Students at Ackworth consistently perform better than what their targets and previous academic performance indicate that they should.
2) Incredible facilities
Ackworth School is a truly beautiful setting to learn and relax. It has a state-of-the-art gym, sports hall, tennis courts and music centre with 10 Steinway pianos set in phenomenal picturesque 18th Century grounds.
With advanced facilities, sixth form students have everything they need to excel at their chosen A-levels and also take part in extra-curricular activities in and out of school hours to enhance their learning – this may help when it comes to applying to universities.
3) Close-knit family feel
The sixth form is attached to the school, to maintain a real family community, and, as the school is non-selective, there's plenty of opportunity for students to mix with people from all different backgrounds, ages and places.
Students travel from across the UK and other parts of the world to attend Ackworth School. Boarding helps build and nurture life-long friendships, and encourages social growth. It really is a home away from home.
4) Oxbridge Pathways Programme
Sixth form is an integral time in a young adult's life. Their leaving destination will depend not only on their academic success, but also the skills they gain, and how prepared they are for upcoming applications and interviews.
Ackworth School covers everything with a bespoke Oxbridge Pathways Programme. Designed and managed by Helen Batty – who has a wealth of experience in Oxbridge admissions procedures and processes – sixth form students are taught everything they need to know to achieve a place at a top UK university and succeed after graduation.
5) Necessary support and pastoral care
The wellbeing of pupils is paramount to their education. Ackworth ensure that all students have a positive environment to learn in as they believe this has a direct impact on whether they perform to the best of their abilities.
It is possible that giving sixth form students too much freedom too quickly (when they have come from an incredibly supportive secondary school environment) could hinder their progression, rather than help. Boarding school provides the right balance of support and freedom, allowing students to ease into adult life, knowing the safety net is still there if they need it.
If you'd like to know more about sixth form boarding schools, take a look at our schools pages to find the right one for you.
You can also visit Ackworth School's sixth form page for more information and contact their admissions team at admissions@ackworthschool.com or call 01977 233 621. You're also welcome to book a visit to one of Ackworth's open events here.

The Far North Football League (formerly the Woomera & Districts Football League) is an Australian rules football competition based in the Far North region of South Australia.  It is an affiliated member of the South Australian National Football League.

Current clubs

Brief history
The Woomera Football League (WFL) was formed in 1949.
The predominance of public service and defence employment in the region was reflected in early participating clubs which included Works & Housing, Contractors, Koolymilka, Lines & Construction, LRWER (Long Range Weapons Experimental Range), RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force), RAE (Royal Australian Engineers - Army).
By 1960 the clubs consisted of Works, Village, Centrals, RAAF and Koolymilka.
RAAF withdrew in 1966 and Works similarly in 1976.
Mount Gunson joined in 1975 and ceased in 1983.
Woomera North joined in 1977. This was a direct result of Works and Village unable to field separate sides so a new team was formed. Woomera North voted itself out of existence in 1984 and a Village team re-entered the competition which then only consisted of 3 teams viz. Kollymilka, Central and Village.
Another interesting team was the J.D.S.C.S. Warriors who played between 1985 & 1987. The team was mainly made up of USA Servicemen from the Joint Defence Space Communication Station located at Nurrungar just outside Woomera. In 3 years they only won 2 matches but did play in a final series.

WFL Premiers and Runners-up 1949 -1985Footypedia

WFL Premiership Summary 1949 - 1985

1.L.C.P.S. (Signals) is the acronym for No.1 Line Construction Project Squadron, Royal Australian Corps of Signals.

1.L.C.P.S. (Signals) were also known as Lines and Construction.

Works were also known as Works and Housing in the early years.

Village were also known as Woomera or Town in the early years.

In 1986 the Woomera Football League changed its name to the Woomera & Districts Football League.

Since this era, with the beginning of mining operations at Olympic Dam in the 1980s, the majority of the league's clubs are actually located in the Roxby Downs area rather than Woomera, with the Coober Pedy Saints even further afield.

WFL League B&F - Area Medal(1949-1985), Mail Medal (1953-2021), Leading Goalkicker

In 1999, as indicated by *, the Mail Medal was awarded retrospectively to Don Watson (1957), Warren Coops (1959), Alan Hancock (1969) and Dave Davis (1984).

Chasmanthium latifolium est une espèce de plantes monocotylédones de la famille des Poaceae (graminées), sous-famille des Panicoideae, originaire d'Amérique du Nord .

Cette espèce originaire du Sud-Est des États-Unis est la seule du genre qui soit cultivée pour des raisons ornementales. Ses épillets inclinés, longuement pédicellés, très aplatis, mesurent près de 2 cm, sont décoratifs par ses fleurs régulièrement disposées de chaque côté de l'axe. Les inflorescences séchées sont utilisées pour confectionner des bouquets secs.
Elle forme de larges touffes aux feuilles vert clair, larges de 1 à 2 cm, et qui deviennent jaunes à l'automne. Les tiges atteignent 1,5 m.
Elle est également cultivée pour ses qualités fourragères.

Description

Chasmanthium latifolium  est une plante herbacée vivace, cespiteuse, aux rhizomes courts, au tiges (chaimes) de 100 à 150 cm de long.
Les feuilles ont un limbe lancéolé de 9 à 20 cm de long sur 10 à 20 mm de large, présentant des nervures transverses distinctes, et une ligule membraneuse ciliée.

L'inflorescence est une panicule ovale, ouverte, de 10 à 35 cm de long, aux ramifications primaire retombantes.
Les épillets solitaires, pédicellés, pendants, elliptiques ou ovales, comprimés latéralement, ont 20 à 40 mm de long sur 6 à 16 mm de large. Ils comprennent 1 à 2 fleurons stériles à la base, 5 à 15 (voire 25) fleurons fertiles, avec des fleurons réduits à l'apex. A maturité, ils se désarticulent sous chaque fleuron fertile.
Ils sont sous-tendus par deux glumes similaires de 5 à 7 mm de long, persistantes, herbacées, plus courtes que l'épillet. La glume supérieure a une longueur égale à 50 à 70 % de celle de la lemme adjacente.

Les fleurons présentent un callus pileux et comptent deux lodicules charnus, cunées et une anthère jaune de 4 mm de long. Leur taille diminue de la base vers l'apex de l'épillet.
Le fruit est un caryopse au péricarpe adhérent, ovoïde, comprimé latéralement,de 2 à 2,5 mm de long.

Distribution et habitat
L'aire de répartition de Chasmanthium latifolium couvre une grande partie du quart nord-est des États-Unis, du New Jersey, du Michigan et du Wisconsin jusqu'au Texas et à l'Arizona, et s'étend vers le nord dans le Manitoba (Canada) et vers le sud dans le nord-est du Mexique.

La plante se rencontre le long des rives des cours d'eau et dans les bois de feuillus.

My son is presently 11 months old. Even though I required medical intervention to help me conceive I am happy to say my pregnancy health and birth was good. I put that down to the pre-conceptual good practice that Justine taught me – to keep my system clean and eat well. Life is good and we are very happy with our son Darwin. Even with reduced time I still try to remain as healthy as possible and listen to my body and mind. Thank you.


KARLSKRONA, Sweden, Dec. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- GlobalFun AB, a global developer and publisher of wireless entertainment, has signed an agreement with SilverBirch Studios Inc., to publish and distribute SilverBirch's The Blade of Zorro(TM) branded game, based on the legendary Spanish Californian hero ... el Zorro, "the Fox." GlobalFun will be publishing the title exclusively in specific markets worldwide, with a special emphasis on the North American, South American and European markets.
The Blade of Zorro(TM) game also features a web site, www.bladeofzorro.com, for players to enhance their gaming experience by discovering more about the environments and characters presented in the game. In addition to a highly visible character, the game will appeal to mobile players by featuring multiple perspectives on certain phone models. Players have the flexibility to explore the environment from a top-down vantage point or switch to side view in order to duel with enemies. The game challenges players to outfox bandits, avoid soldiers and overcome invincible odds, taking Zorro through multiple scenarios and locations to complete his objectives.

Q: Why doesn't Integer represent NaN in Java? When I write something like
double a = 0.0;
double b = 0.0;
double c = a/b;

The result is Double.NaN, but when I try the same for integers, it produces an ArithmeticException. So, why isn't there a Integer.NaN?

A: The answer has very little to do with Java. Infinity or undefined numbers are not a part of the integer set, so they are excluded from Integer, whereas floating point types represent real numbers as well as complex numbers, so to deal with these, NaN has been included with floating point types.

A: For the same reason that there is no integer NaN in any other language.
Modern computers use 2's complement binary representation for integers, and that representation doesn't have a NaN value.  (All values in the domain of the representation type represent definite integers.)
It follows that computer integer arithmetic hardware does not recognize any NaN representation.
In theory, someone could invent an alternative representation for integers that includes NaN (or INF, or some other exotic value).  However, arithmetic using such a representation would not be supported by the hardware.  While it would be possible to implement it in software, it would be prohibitively expensive1... and undesirable in other respects too to include this support in the Java language.
1 - It is of course relative, but I'd anticipate that a software implementation of NaNs would be (at least) an order of magnitude slower than hardware.  If you actually, really, needed this, then that would be acceptable.  But the vast majority of integer arithmetic codes don't need this.  In most cases throwing an exception for "divide by zero" is just fine, and an order of magnitude slow down in all integer arithmetic operations is ... not acceptable.

By contrast:

*

*the "unused" values in the representation space already exist

*NaN and INF values are part of the IEE floating point standard, and

*they are (typically) implemented by the native hardware implementation of floating point arithmetic

A: As noted in other comments, it's largely because NaN is a standard value for floating point numbers. You can read about the reasons NaN would be returned on Wikipedia here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NaN
Notice that only one of these reasons exists for integer numbers (divide by zero). There is also both a positive and a negative infinity value for floating point numbers that integers don't have and is closely linked to NaN in the floating point specification.

Esha Gupta Wants To Do South Films; Says 'Their Level Of Professionalism Is Something Else'
By Madhuri V
| Published: Saturday, July 31, 2021, 11:46 [IST]
Actress Esha Gupta was all praise for the South film industry in her recent interview with a leading tabloid. The actress expressed her desire to explore opportunities down the south and revealed the reason behind the same.
ETimes quoted Esha as saying, "I really like the South film industry. It's very close-knit. The people there are very warm and share a lot of respect. Though their movies are over-the-top, the people are completely opposite, they are shy and quiet. Their level of professionalism is something else. There's no favouritism there. I would really like to spread my wings down South."
Esha Gupta Opens Up About Her OTT Debut And Going Through A Low Phase In Her Career!
The actress had earlier starred in a Telugu action thriller Veedevadu opposite Sachiin Joshi and did a special dance number for Ram Charan's 2019 film Vinaya Vidheya Rama.
In the same interview, Esha also opened up on how she is enjoying doing web shows.
"I am enjoying this medium of storytelling. In movies, there is only so much you can do in the run time of two-and-a-half hours. Through the pandemic, the OTT platforms gave actors a lot of opportunities and kept the ball rolling. There is so much scope in the digital space for actors to pick from. In movies, only a privileged few get this option. Through this medium, there are many people who are ready to bet on us," the Raaz 3 actress told the tabloid.
Not For A Film Break! Esha Gupta Dropped Out Of Her Law Course In England Due To A Personal Crisis!
Esha said that she believes web shows have a longer shelf life and explained, "If the word-of-mouth is strong, then even an old show can catch your attention. Like, look at Bobby Deol starrer Aashram. I didn't see it at the time it dropped online. I watched it much later. It was such a wonderful show that I watched it with my whole family."
Speaking about Bollywood, the actress was last seen in Anupam Kher-starrer One Day: Justice Delivered in 2019.

Converting an LLC to a Corporation in Mississippi
If you are planning on converting an LLC to a corporation in Mississippi, here's what you need to know.
By David M. Steingold, Contributing Author
The details of how to convert your Mississippi limited liability company (LLC) to a Mississippi corporation will vary depending on your specific situation. However, here is some general guidance on the process of conversion to a for-profit corporation. Because the tax consequences can be significant, you should consult with a tax adviser before undertaking any conversion.
Statutory Conversions vs. Statutory Mergers
As an initial point, be aware that there is a distinction between a "conversion" and a "merger," and more specifically between a "statutory conversion" and a "statutory merger." A statutory conversion is a cheaper, quicker way to convert an LLC to a corporation—largely because you do not have to form a separate corporation before the conversion can occur. However, Mississippi is one of only about fifteen states that do not allow statutory conversions of LLCs to corporations. Instead, Mississippi only allows statutory mergers. Unlike statutory conversions, statutory mergers do require you to form a separate corporation before you can convert—or, more accurately, merge—your business.
Notwithstanding the distinction between statutory conversions and statutory mergers, "conversion" is a more general term that can include mergers. In this article, we'll use "conversion" and "merger" somewhat interchangeably, sometimes speaking broadly about "conversions" and "converting" your business, even though, more narrowly and technically, we'll be talking about a merger.
Mississippi's Merger Statutes
Bearing in mind that mergers can be among the most complicated of business transactions, this section provides a very brief summary of the process of conversion-via-merger under Mississippi's merger statutes. Like most states, Mississippi has one merger statute under its Business Corporation Act and another merger statute under its Limited Liability Company Act; portions of each of these statutes apply to a LLC-into-corporation merger. Among the most important parts of each of the two statutes are Sections 79-4-11.02 and 79-29-221 of the Mississippi Code Annotated (Miss. Code. Ann.).
To convert your Mississippi LLC to a Mississippi corporation via a statutory merger, you need to:
create a new corporation
prepare a plan of merger (a.k.a. agreement of merger)
have your corporation's board of directors adopt the plan of merger
obtain shareholder approval of the plan of merger
obtain LLC member approval of the plan of merger; and
file articles of merger with the Secretary of State.
Step 1: Create a Corporation
Creating a corporation is a multi-step process. However, for immediate purposes, the key elements are preparing articles of incorporation and bylaws; the articles of incorporation will be filed with the Secretary of State. Through these formational documents, the members of your preexisting LLC will also become the shareholders of your new corporation. For more detailed information on forming a corporation in Mississippi, check How to Form a Corporation in Mississippi. Note: Initially, the name of your LLC cannot also be used as the name of your new corporation. However, you can specify in the plan of merger that the name of the corporation will be changed to the name of your LLC when the LLC merges into the corporation (at which point the LLC ceases to exist).
Step 2: Prepare a Plan of Merger
As its name suggests, the plan of merger will contain details about the merger; it must include:
the name of your LLC
the name of your new corporation prior to the merger
the name of the corporation after the merger
the "terms and conditions" of the merger
the manner and basis for converting LLC membership interests into corporate shares; and
any amendments to your new corporation's articles of incorporation (such as change in name).
Step 3: LLC Approval of Plan
On the LLC side of this transaction, the statute states that approval of the plan of merger requires the approval of a simple majority of votes to be cast on the agreement, including a majority of any class or series entitled to vote separately on the agreement. Note that, unlike some other states' statutes, Mississippi does not allow for the possibility that an operating agreement or other document might impose different voting requirements, such as a greater majority vote. For more details, check Miss. Code Ann. § 79-29-223.
Steps 4 and 5: Corporation Board Adoption and Shareholder Approval of Plan
On the corporation side of this transaction, the plan of merger must be adopted by the board of directors, and then approved by the shareholders. (For a small business, the directors may well be the same people as the shareholders.) By default, shareholder approval requires a simple majority of votes in each share class or series entitled to vote separately on the plan. However, the statute also allows for the possibility that your articles of incorporation or board of directors require a greater shareholder vote. For more details, check Miss. Code Ann. § 79-4-11.04. (Generally speaking, where the corporation is formed for the primary purpose of the merger, and the LLC members are also the corporation shareholders, it should be the case that all shareholders will approve the merger.)
Step 6: File Articles of Merger
The articles of merger must include:
a copy of the plan of merger
the name of your LLC and its legal type (type = limited liability company)
the name of your new corporation and its legal type (type = corporation)
the effective date for the merger, if other than the filing date
the name and legal type of your business after the merger (type = corporation)
the jurisdiction of your new corporation (= Mississippi)
a statement that the members of your LLC duly approved the plan of merger, including, as necessary, approval by each separate voting group, as required by the Mississippi Limited Liability Company Act, and by your LLC's certificate of formation and operating agreement
a statement that your new corporation duly authorized the plan of merger and the performance of its terms by all action required under the Mississippi Business Corporation Act, and under the corporation's articles of incorporation and bylaws
for your corporation, various information related to shares voting on the agreement of merger
any amendments to your new corporation's articles of incorporation (such as change in name); and
authorized signatures.
The Secretary of State has a form for "Cross Entity Mergers" that you can use to prepare your articles of merger. The form currently is not available on the Secretary of State's website, but you should be able to obtain a copy of it by contacting the Secretary of State.
Other Important Advice
Some people may consider the formation of the new corporation, the plan of merger, the plan approval process, and the articles of merger all to be straightforward. However, as mentioned above, mergers are complex transactions, and often involve unexpected complications. Therefore, you should very strongly consider working with a business attorney to draft the required documents and otherwise complete the merger process.
Your total filing fees for this process will be at least $100, which includes $50 for filing the articles of incorporation and $50 for filing the articles of merger.
The merger statute under Mississippi's Business Corporation Act states not only that all of your LLC's property, as well as all of its liabilities, are transferred to the new corporation, but also that your new corporation may be substituted for your old LLC in any legal actions against your business. The merger statute under Mississippi's LLC Act contains essentially the same provisions. For more information, check Miss. Code Ann. § § 79-4-11.07 and 79-29-227.
Apart from the items mentioned in How to Form a Corporation in Mississippi, one other important step when undertaking this type of merger is to make sure that no business contracts or agreements, such as bank documents, leases, licenses, and insurance, will be nullified by your LLC's conversion to a corporation.
The foregoing information explains the basic steps for converting from an LLC to C Corporation. If you want to convert to an S Corporation, you will also need to file IRS Form 2553.
The IRS makes clear in a 2004 bulletin that, generally speaking, it will tax a statutory merger as though the LLC members formally transferred all LLC assets and liabilities to the corporation in exchange for stock, and then immediately liquidated the LLC. However, the specific tax consequences for LLC-into-corporation mergers vary from one case to the next. Because the tax consequences can sometimes be significant, you should consult with a tax adviser before undertaking any conversion.
Some Final Considerations
Our main concern here has been converting the legal form of your business from an LLC to a corporation. However, if you're seeking to convert your LLC's tax status from partnership to corporation without changing the LLC's legal form, you only need to file IRS Form 8832 (to be taxed as a C Corporation) or IRS Form 2553 (to be taxed as an S corporation). (By default, the IRS taxes a multi-member LLC as a partnership and a single-member LLC as a so-called "disregarded entity;" there is no separate IRS tax category for LLCs.) While the IRS forms for changing tax status are fairly straightforward, do be aware that this procedure—known as "Check-the-Box"—involves special eligibility criteria; you can find those criteria in the instructions included with the forms.
Keep in mind that certain considerations may affect the timing of your conversion. For example, if you are converting to a C Corporation in order to make your business more attractive to outside investors, you will probably need to convert before any investment occurs. Conversely, if outside investors are not at issue, but the specific nature of your LLC's assets and liabilities will lead to an undesirable tax burden for the current tax year, you may need to at least temporarily delay the conversion.
For additional guidance on converting from an LLC to a corporation, check Corporations and S Corporations vs. LLCs. For information on conversion rules in other states, check Nolo's 50-State Guide to Converting an LLC to a Corporation.

Short Course | The Galileo Affair | University of Melbourne
by Katrina Grant • April 11, 2018
Galileo before the Holy Office', 19th century, Joseph-Nicolas Robert-Fleury
6.15pm – 8.30pm | Thursdays 24 and 31 May, 7 and 14 June
This short course will focus on the 'Galileo Affair' which remains one of the most fascinating episodes in the history of science.
The 'Galileo Affair', as it has come to be known, remains one of the most fascinating episodes in the history of science. It is often taken as an illustration of the repressive attitude of the Catholic Church to the rise of modern science in the 17th century, and an example of the fundamental conflict between science and religion. Yet, it has been subject to distortion and myth, and continues to spark intense disagreement among historians, scientists and philosophers.
In 1632 Galileo published his Dialogue on the Two Chief World Systems, in which he defended the Copernican view that the earth moves around the sun. He was duly summoned to appear before the Holy Roman Inquisition to answer the charge of vehement suspicion of heresy. Forced to recant, he was sentenced to serve the remaining 9 years of his life under house arrest. The fall out was enormous, and forever changed the way we view the relationship between science and religion. But what was the Galileo Affair really about? Was it simply the suppression of scientific truth by an oppressive religious authority? Or was it a more complex episode, in which doubts about scientific evidence could not be separated from the interpretation of Scripture, the political context of the Counter-Reformation, the turmoil of the thirty years war, and even Italian court culture?
In this short course, we focus on these questions, in an attempt to shed light on this fascinating episode. Each session takes a different historical perspective, as we delve beyond the myth, in search of a deeper understanding of one of the defining episodes of Western history.
Cost and Registrations
Light refreshments, further reading suggestions and handouts are included each week.

Thursday 24 May: Introducing the scientific controversy: Does the Earth move?
We begin the course with an introduction to the scientific controversy at the heart of the Galileo affair. What were the arguments and evidence in favour of the traditional view that the sun revolved around the earth, and how did Galileo make his case for the controversial view that the earth that revolved around the sun?
Thursday 31 May: Galileo and the Catholic Church: The interpretation of scripture
This week, we turn our gaze to the problem of the interpretation of scripture in the context of the Counter-Reformation. What was the Catholic Church's official position on Copernicanism, and how did Galileo propose to reconcile the Copernican view with passages in the Bible that suggested the sun was immobile?
Thursday 7 June: Science, culture and politics: Renaissance Italy and the Thirty Years War
This week, we widen our perspective to encompass the wider social, political and cultural context of the Galileo affair. In doing so, we gain a deeper understanding of how the affair was shaped by Galileo's cultural identity as a courtier for Grand Duke of Tuscany and the political turmoil of the thirty years war.
Thursday 14 June: The uses and abuses of history: What have we learned from the Galileo Affair?
In the final session, we examine how various historical accounts of the Galileo affair have been used throughout by history in the service of various agendas. Here we reflect on what this complex and fascinating episode might tell us about the conflict between science and religion.
Sessions and speakers are subject to change.

A derelict historic building will be revitalised with a £700,000 investment to enable three brothers to grow their businesses under plans drawn up by architects Atelier MB and interior designers Sheila Bird Group.
The two-storey former assembly rooms on Lower Bridgeman Street, Bolton, has been empty for a year and has now been acquired by the Pope family.
Adam, Dominic and Nick Pope currently run their businesses from Bayley House in Bolton but need more space to meet their expansion goals.
They currently employ 25 staff across their companies – Get Claims Advice, Polar Energy and MacFarlaine and Brooks IFA – and are aiming to double the size of the combined workforce.
Plans have been submitted to Bolton Council for interior and exterior alterations and for listed building consent.
The 10,000 sq ft, grade II listed building was constructed between 1845 and 1847 as a public baths and assembly rooms. The former baths is now a veterinary practice under separate ownership.
The assembly rooms were used for civic functions and parties until the 1980s, when they were converted into offices and many of the original features destroyed. The building is currently known as the Bolton Business Centre.
Manchester-based Atelier MB, which specialises in projects for historic buildings, has submitted refurbishment plans that include a new mezzanine floor and a small glazed rooftop extension.
Ray Makin, chairman of Atelier MB, said: "The former assembly rooms are in a state of disrepair, and we are delighted to be working with Sheila Bird Group to revive this landmark by creating high-quality contemporary office space in an area of the town centre which Bolton Council is seeking to redevelop.
"The shoddy, previous alterations will be removed and as much of the splendour of the space as possible will be exposed to reflect its historic importance and character in a dynamic business setting which will create much-needed job opportunities in the area.
The plans will go before councillors later this month. If approved, the scheme is scheduled for completion in mid-2019.
Atul Bansal and Chris Naughton, of Manchester-based Sheila Bird Group, are the interior designers and the project manager is Andrew Flanagan of CBRE.
Atul said: "This exciting scheme will bring out the striking qualities of the building while reflecting its heritage.

Q: Value of $f(f(x) – 2y) = 2x – 3y + f(f(y) – x)$ Let $f : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ be a polynomial function satisfying
$$f(f(x) – 2y) = 2x – 3y + f(f(y) – x),$$
where $x, y \in \mathbb{R}$. Find the value of $$f(21) – f(14).$$

A: You are given
$$f(f(x) – 2y) = 2x – 3y + f(f(y) – x) \tag{1}\label{eq1A}$$
Since $x,y \in \mathbb{R}$, you can let $x = \frac{3y}{2}$ in \eqref{eq1A} to get
$$\begin{equation}\begin{aligned}
f\left(f\left(\frac{3y}{2}\right) - 2y\right) & = 2\left(\frac{3y}{2}\right) - 3y + f\left(f\left(y\right) - \frac{3y}{2}\right) \\
f\left(f\left(\frac{3y}{2}\right) - 2y\right) & = f\left(f\left(y\right) - \frac{3y}{2}\right)
\end{aligned}\end{equation}\tag{2}\label{eq2A}$$
Note $f$ can't be the constant function since \eqref{eq1A} then wouldn't hold for all $x$ and $y$. Actually, as WhatsUp's comment states, $f$ must be linear. To see this, consider the degree of $f$ to be some $n \gt 1$. Then $f(x) - 2y$ has an $x$ term of degree $n$ and $f(f(x) - 2y)$ has an $x$ term of degree $n^2$. However, on the right side, $f(f(y) - x)$ would only have a highest degree term of $x$ being $n$. Since $n^2 \gt n$, it would not be possible for \eqref{eq1A} to always hold.
Since $f$ must be linear, then
$$f(y) = ay + b \tag{3}\label{eq3A}$$
for some real $a \neq 0$ and $b$. Let the arguments to the outer $f$ functions in \eqref{eq2A} be $g(y)$ and $h(y)$ to get using \eqref{eq3A} that $ag(y) + b = ah(y) + b \implies a(g(y) - h(y)) = 0 \implies g(y) = h(y)$. Thus, you get
$$f\left(\frac{3y}{2}\right) - 2y = f(y) - \frac{3y}{2} \tag{4}\label{eq4A}$$
Using $y = 14$ in \eqref{eq4A} gives
$$f(21) - 28 = f(14) - 21 \implies f(21) - f(14) = 7 \tag{5}\label{eq5A}$$
Alternatively, you can use \eqref{eq3A} in \eqref{eq1A} to get
$$\begin{equation}\begin{aligned}
f(ax + b - 2y) & = 2x - 3y + f(ay + b - x) \\
a(ax + b - 2y) + b & = 2x - 3y + a(ay + b - x) + b \\
a^2x + ab - 2ay & = 2x - 3y + a^2y + ab - ax \\
a^2x - 2ay & = 2x - 3y + a^2y - ax \\
(a^2 + a - 2)x & = (a^2 + 2a - 3)y
\end{aligned}\end{equation}\tag{6}\label{eq6A}$$
For this to be true for all real $x$ and $y$ requires $a^2 + a - 2 = a^2 + 2a - 3 = 0 \implies a = 1$. Using $a = 1$ in \eqref{eq3A} gives
$$f(21) - f(14) = (21 + b) - (14 + b) = 7 \tag{7}\label{eq7A}$$
This matches what was obtained in \eqref{eq5A}.

A: Here is my Approach:
$f(f(x) – 2y) = 2x – 3y + f(f(y) – x)$
If $x=21,y=14, then: 2x-3y=0$ So
$ f(f(21)-28)=f(f(14)-21)$
$f(21)-f(14)=7$

Twitter goes quiet as BBC reports 'categorically denied' allegation against top QC
By Katie King on Oct 28 2016 11:43am
Usually chatty legal Twitterati eerily silent
There is puzzlement this morning in legal London after BBC Newsnight claimed that Ben Emmerson QC, a highly-respected barrister and former leading lawyer at an independent child abuse inquiry, has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman in the lift of a London office.
Emmerson "categorically denies" the allegations. The inquiry denies it received any complaint of sexual assault.
The top lawyer, one of 35 QCs at human rights and public law set Matrix, was suspended from his post at the national abuse inquiry in September. This happened, it was reported at the time, because the inquiry had "become very concerned about aspects of [his] leadership of the counsel team". Inquiry chairwoman Professor Alexis Jay continued:
He has therefore been suspended from duty so that these can be properly investigated.
Now, the BBC has claimed the Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse has "dropped" its investigation into Emmerson's conduct, "despite a disclosure of alleged sexual assault". The report goes on:
BBC Newsnight has learned the inquiry was also aware that an inquiry worker had alleged Mr Emmerson had sexually assaulted her in a lift at the inquiry's offices in Millbank in central London in early September. The woman had given an account of the incident on the same day, but did not want the incident to be investigated.
Lawyers' reaction to this newest revelation has been, well, pretty non-existent.
At the time Emmerson — who is believed to be the inspiration behind Bridget Jones' on-off lover Mark Darcy — was suspended, lawyers were out in force on Twitter sharing their dismay. Here are just some of the tweets made at the time:
Wow! Didn't see this coming.
"Child abuse inquiry counsel Ben Emmerson QC suspended" over "serious concerns".https://t.co/OsqkX7T7hm
— Shoaib M Khan (@ShoaibMKhan) September 28, 2016
Beyond farcical. Ben Emmerson apparently found out he had been suspended from IICSA on the internet tonight & has instructed Bindmans?! https://t.co/MOf4YGXsl1
— Joanne Cecil (@JoanneCecil) September 28, 2016
What in pity's name is going on in the Child Abuse Inquiry and Ben Emmerson?
— John Cooper (@John_Cooper_QC) September 29, 2016
Today, however, the usually noisy legal Twitter crowd seem to be, perhaps wisely, waiting for more information to become available before they express a view.
A lawyer for Emmerson told the BBC:
Mr Emmerson categorically denies any allegation of sexual assault, or bullying or other misconduct at the inquiry.

SMHC'S Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory is comprised of a team of specially and highly trained registered nurses and radiology technicians who work closely with, and assist the cardiologist during the performance of the cardiac catheterization. This team is committed to improving the quality of care and service to our patients in the community who require diagnostic imaging.
With the diagnostic cardiac catheterization, the Cardiologist is able to view and measure blood flow and internal pressures within the heart, able to assess the heart valves for leakage or narrowing, and able to assess the coronary arteries for narrowing or blockages.
During the procedure, a thin plastic tube (catheter) is guided through a main artery in the leg or arm. Once the catheter is in the heart, the cardiologist injects a small amount of contrast (dye) and a special camera then takes the moving images of the heart and its vessels. Specialized equipment allows the cardiologist to see instant moving images of the heart, and its blood supply. Valuable diagnostic information is obtained which then guides the medical team in individualized treatment for the patient.
For more information, please call the SMHC Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at 207-283-7819.

Loving Loveland
21. January, 2010 by Sam Hurwitt Theater No comments
It took a long time for me to catch up with Loveland, Ann Randolph's latest solo show at the Marsh. It opened back in October as a follow-up to her previous hit Squeeze Box, both the Los Angeles Times and LA Weekly's pick for best solo show of 2002, which enjoyed a much-extended eight-month run at the Marsh last year. And I have to admit, I missed that one entirely. I also missed the initial run of Loveland but had a second chance when it returned this month for another extension.
Ann Randolph in Loveland. Photo by Leland Auslen
And boy, am I glad I did. In a bare-bones staging directed by Matt Roth, Randolph has created a sublime character in Frannie Potts, a loudly geeky nature enthusiast on a California to Ohio flight to attend to her mother's remains. With a sunken chin, a toothy lisp and eyebrows hoisted high, Frannie exudes enthusiastic, dweeby charm while blurting out the most inappropriate things.
Frannie's chosen her seat on the plane carefully so she can stare out and rhapsodize about the natural parks passing outside her window. "Yes, it sure is pretty," she says emphatically to a neighbor's tepid praise. "Pretty spectacular!" The unseen pilot's description of sights coming up outside, mellifluously voiced by Wayne Wilderson, make her squirm in hilariously unseemly lust.
Frannie sings a little, but as far as she's concerned her true art is "facial gesturing to sound," which turns out to be exactly what it sounds like: making outlandish faces in interpretation of various sounds, whether they're car alarms or airplane toilets.
The flight she's on serves as a launching pad for connecting flights of memory that we board and disembark so smoothly that we hardly know we've been away. All of these are ultimately about her mother, such as reluctantly summiting Mount San Jacinto on the tram rather than on foot because her wheelchair-bound mother insists; the two of them giving the perky staff at the nursing home a hard time while touring the facility; and appalling her meditation teacher with a rant about how grief makes her horny.
Randolph deftly lets the other characters in Frannie's story shine clearly through the distinct Potts persona as she details pricelessly uncomfortable encounters with a grief counselor, a mortician and a masseuse at Whole Foods, each more outrageous than the last. In particular Frannie's portrayal of her mother is a wonder, her voice brassy and boozy and two fingers always raised as if waving a cigarette around. While she seems like a handful and a half, the great thing about Frannie's mom is that if she gives her daughter a hard time she also backs her up with a sardonic, conspiratorial good humor. You can definitely feel the love.
A mere 70 minutes with no intermission, Loveland is an awfully funny monologue, but it's also a keenly incisive exploration of grief, building up to a climax so devastating and beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes. It's the kind of play that burrows its way into your heart, breaks it and puts it back together again.
Through April 25

Q: Потоковая передача между клиентами SignalR Такое дело. У меня есть два приложения. Одно на AspNetCore, а другое на WPF в качестве клиента. Хочу сделать так, чтобы изменения в одном интерфейсе сразу отображались на втором. Решил использовать SignalR. Мне он понравился тем, что при отправке метода на хаб, хаб грубо говоря вызывает событие, которое можно разослать нескольким клиентам. Сейчас все работает так. К примеру, на Веб клиенте вызывается метод хаба hubConnection.SendAsync("RunTest1", parameters), обрабатываются данные, и если все успешно, то идет рассылка Clients.All.SendAsync("Test1Running", parameters);. Т. е. клиенты, в том числе и тот что вызвал метод хаба, меняют UI только по событию connection.on("Test1Running", parameters=>{//change UI properties})(ну в вы поняли, в wpf там по-своему). Это нужно чтобы убедится, что данные действительно изменились.
Дело в том, что мне нужно отправлять данные очень часто, лучше потоком. И как выяснилось позже, хабы создаются на каждый запрос + это все на тасках(хотя это не так страшно, не факт что контекст потока будет меняться). Ну, думаю, в SignalR вроде как есть потоковая передача. И она есть, но все что я нашел это "от сервера к клиенту" или от "клиента к серверу". А мне надо от "клиента к клиенту". Как это проще сделать? Просто разослать клиентам из метода хаба IAsyncEnumerable нельзя вроде как. Или можно рассылать что угодно и когда угодно в методе хаба через hubConnection.SendAsync("method", parameters)? Это будет работать? Если кто-то сталкивался то как это решили? Может можно как-то заставить хаб не диспоузиться? Или просто забить, спокойно слать по 100 запросов в секунду и не париться? Сильно там производительность страдает? Если там задержка в несколько миллисекунд то не страшно.


Boho Loves: River Cottage – Hugh's Famous Farmhouse Where Brides & Grooms Share Centre Stage With The Food.
You may recognise the name of River Cottage from the TV cooking programme that features Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. Well I am super excited as todays Boho Loves post is all about River Cottage as they also carry out weddings in this totally beautiful venue. River Cottage is such a stunning and unique place, a beautiful rustic farm cottage set inside the rolling Devon Hills, an absolutely perfect backdrop for your wedding day. Not only is it famous for its unique location but of course for the amazing food, so if food is a big thing in your life then this really is the perfect choice for your wedding day. You will work alongside the chefs to create you own perfect, unique wedding menu, safe in the knowledge that the food will be second to none.
River Cottage HQ, backdrop to the TV series and home to the award winning cookery school is set in 65 acres of organic farm land overlooking the Axe Vale, in the wonderful county of Devon and just a stone's throw from the beautiful Jurassic Coast. Licensed for weddings, the smallholding is a fantastic setting for your ceremony and celebration.
Couples design their wedding menu with the talented River Cottage chefs and kitchen team, wowing guests with the finest local and seasonal ingredients from the West Country, as well produce grown and reared on the organic farm itself.
We asked River Cottage to tell us a little more about their amazing wedding venue and of course the famous food!
River Cottage has given millions of TV viewers a taste for great cooking since 1998, when Hugh first brought his famous food ethos to Channel 4. Our hard-hitting campaigns have changed the eating habits of a nation and improved the welfare and sustainability of animals and fish.
River Cottage HQ, found on the Devon and Dorset border, is home to everything we do and is the base for our Cookery and Chefs' School, unique dining experiences and memorable events. Over the past 7 years it's been our greatest delight to share our farm and our passion for food integrity and consumption of local, seasonal produce with wedding couples on one of the most important day of their lives.
River Cottage HQ can be found on the Devon/Dorset border in the south of England but we have had couples book us from all over the Globe!
We would describe our style as rustic, relaxed and informal but underpinned with quality.
The buildings at River Cottage HQ have been sympathetically restored to the highest standard using environmentally and eco friendly materials. Our beautiful farmhouse with its original flag stone floor and roaring wood fires overlooks the pretty walled garden which is bursting with produce in the growing months. The refurbished 17th century Threshing barn with breathtaking views across the valley is a flexible venue, perfect for a traditional ceremony, the banquet meal itself and of course to dance the night away with your nearest and dearest.
Foodie couples who are looking for a unique and bespoke experience in a non-traditional setting.
We charge a facility fee plus a cost per person for the meal.
The facility fee ranges from £1525 in low season to £4875 in peek season. This fee gives you exclusive use of the entire site for the day. It also includes tableware, jam jars of flowers from the garden, use of our hand made bunting and tractor transfers for your guests.
You can build your menu choosing from canapés, afternoon tea, a two or three course seasonal meal and evening snacks such as bacon sandwiches or wood fired pizzas. There is also the option of BYO drinks.
Our traditional threshing barn has a maximum capacity of 64 guests. During the Summer months we are able to accommodate a further 30 guests on our decking under a canvas marquee located just outside the threshing barn. For larger parties we can hire in marquees; a supplement will apply and is priced by requirement.
River Cottage HQ is an iconic foodie venue which sets us apart from our competitors. The menu planning stage gives you the chance to create the sort of celebratory feast we are famous for, and the Head Chef's menu provenance introduction on the day itself, along with our open kitchen policy means your guests will have an unforgettable experience unlike any other wedding they have attended. All wedding parties can enjoy exclusive use of the entire site which means we can be extremely flexible, and our dedicated wedding coordinator Lydia endeavors to fulfill any request sent her way – we've had all veggie menus, wellie wanging across the paddock and even wedding pictures with the piglets!
The vegetarian meze wedding was great, two courses of 16 different dishes all served down the table with everybody getting involved and sharing the food really got everyone into the spirit of the day.
Our food is all based around the slow food movement (seasonal , organic, local and wild) so it's not necessarily dishes to be avoided as ingredients, although happily that takes prawn cocktail off the table.
Always remember it's your day, don't get hung up on trying to please everyone so try and get all your favourite food involved.
At River Cottage HQ the menus for our weddings are completely bespoke, no menus A,B or C they are designed with the bride and groom and as long as we have the ingredients in season and locally sourced there is nothing we can't do from curry feasts to traditional roasts, croquet en bouches to giant after eights, your imagination can run wild and our talented team will turn it in to reality.
River Cottage can also be found in the Boho Wedding Directory as one of our recommended suppliers.

Gerda Johanne Helland Grepp (26 May 1907 – 29 August 1940) was a Norwegian translator, journalist, and socialist. She was the daughter of former chairman of the Norwegian Labour Party Kyrre Grepp and journalist Rachel Grepp.

She was married to Italian-Swiss potter Mario Mascarin (1901–66). They had a son Olav Kyrre (Ping) Grepp and a daughter, Solveig Marie Alexandra "Sacha" Grepp. The daughter was named after family friend Alexandra Kollontai.

Spanish Civil War
Grepp covered the Spanish Civil War as a reporter for the Labour Party newspaper Arbeiderbladet from 1936. She arrived in Barcelona in October 1936, as the first female reporter from Scandinavia. She travelled to Madrid, where she experienced bombing attacks on the city. With Ludwig Renn she drove to the Toledo front. During her travels, she was also accompanied by her friend André Malraux. While in Spain, Grepp served as an interpreter for other Norwegians.

Both Grepp and the other Norwegian correspondents in Spain, like Nordahl Grieg and Nini Gleditsch, sympathized with the Republican cause in the war. Gleditsch and Grepp helped organize a large-scale aid effort for Spain, based around the Norwegian labour movement.

According to professor Rune Ottosen, Grepp and Birgit Nissen were marked with "sharp pens against the growing fascism".

In January and February 1937 she visited Málaga, together with Hungarian journalist and reporter for the British daily newspaper News Chronicle, Arthur Koestler. She and Koestler took shelter with the eccentric 72-year-old Sir Peter Chalmers Mitchell, who had stayed on in Málaga "to protect his house and servants" while his compatriots fled to Gibraltar. During the battle of Málaga she barely escaped the attacking Nationalist forces. Grepp left Málaga on 6 February, while Koestler was still in the city. On 7 February Italian troops occupied the city. Koestler was arrested, sentenced to death as a spy, and placed in a death cell in Sevilla. However, after considerable international pressure, he was released from custody. This episode is recorded in detail in Sir Peter's memoir, recently republished by The Clapton Press. From May 1937 Grepp spent several weeks in the Basque Country. She visited the Republican Basque Army defensive line called the Iron Belt, and experienced the Battle of Bilbao. Grepp frequently found herself in dangerous situations while in Spain. During her time in Spain Grepp was suffering from tuberculosis. Eventually she was compelled by her ill health to leave the war zone and return to Norway.

Death and legacy
Gerda Grepp died of tuberculosis in German-occupied Norway on 29 August 1940, 33 years old. She was buried in Vestre gravlund in Oslo. Grepp's work has since been largely forgotten, her fellow journalist Lise Lindbæk instead being commonly seen as Norway's first female war correspondent.

A biography of Grepp, written by Elisabeth Vislie, was published in 2016.

After the addition of new amendments to A2703/A4497, a bill to legalize marijuana for adults, the New Jersey Legislature now considers one of the most progressive proposals to make cannabis legal.
"No state has leaned into social justice through marijuana legalization as wholeheartedly as New Jersey is poised to. This bill sets a baseline for what it looks like to meaningfully acknowledge the human wreckage of the drug war and make good-faith efforts to reverse the damage done.
"The legislation creates an expedited expungement process, guarantees non-discrimination based on cannabis use, allows people with records to participate in the cannabis economy, emphasizes industry diversity, and requires at least one social justice representative to sit on the board of the commission governing cannabis regulation.
"No legislation can accomplish all things – and there is certainly room for improvement in this bill – but this plan is the first we've seen that can meaningfully begin to address the devastation that the drug war has wrought, especially on communities of color.
"This is a historic moment, not just because marijuana could soon be legal in the most densely populated and one of the most diverse states in the nation. This is a historic moment because, guided by social justice advocates, our state has relied on tenets of racial justice and equity to guide its path to legalization."

Designed by WTB's own all mountain superstars, Mark Weir and Jason Moeschler, the WeirWolf has the features to make you faster. This is where the fun starts. An extra row of transitional tread between the crown and side knobs give the WeirWolf a positive feel and consistent traction at any lean angle, from moderate to extreme. And at those extreme angles, the progressive stiffness of the outer knobs lets you carve like never before! Plus, a fast-rolling, soil-piercing center tread provides low-rolling resistance. Weir will tell you that many races are won or lost in the corners, so win by using WeirWolf tires.

Let $x_1, x_2, \dotsb$ be a sequence of independent random variables distributed uniformly on the interval $[0, 2]$. Find all possible values of the following limit, where $\alpha$ is a positive number:
$$\lim_{n\to \infty}P\left(\left|\sum_{i=1}^{n^2}X_i - n^2\right|\leq n^{\alpha}\right).$$

A: The $X_i$ have mean $\mu=1$ and variance $\sigma^2=\frac13$. By the central limit theorem, the distribution of
$$
S_n=\frac n\sigma\frac1{n^2}\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n^2}(X_i-\mu)\right)
$$
converges to the standard normal distribution for $n\to\infty$. As
$$
\left|\,\sum_{i=1}^{n^2}X_i-n^2\,\right|\le n^\alpha
$$
is equivalent to
$$
|S_n|\le\frac{n^{\alpha-1}}\sigma\;,
$$
the limit is $0$ if $\alpha\lt1$, $1$ if $\alpha\gt1$, and
$$
\operatorname{erf}\left({\sqrt\frac32}\right)\approx0.917
$$
if $\alpha=1$.
