Annual Report 2016 Chairman’S Report ALPHA INSURANCE 3 Annual Report 2016 Chairman’s report ALPHA INSURANCE 3 Chairman’s Report In 2016, Alpha Group completed consolidation and insourcing processes that have been going on for several years. Alpha Group strengthened reserves considerably, to secure a positive run off on both the old Norwegian workers compensation book and the newer UK personal lines book, addressing the new lower – Ogden – discount rates, which have caused a big upset in the UK market.

  • Mont Blanc in British Literary Culture 1786 – 1826
    Mont Blanc in British Literary Culture 1786 – 1826 Carl Alexander McKeating Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Leeds School of English May 2020 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. The right of Carl Alexander McKeating to be identified as Author of this work has been asserted by Carl Alexander McKeating in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Acknowledgements I am grateful to Frank Parkinson, without whose scholarship in support of Yorkshire-born students I could not have undertaken this study. The Frank Parkinson Scholarship stipulates that parents of the scholar must also be Yorkshire-born. I cannot help thinking that what Parkinson had in mind was the type of social mobility embodied by the journey from my Bradford-born mother, Marie McKeating, who ‘passed the Eleven-Plus’ but was denied entry into a grammar school because she was ‘from a children’s home and likely a trouble- maker’, to her second child in whom she instilled a love of books, debate and analysis. The existence of this thesis is testament to both my mother’s and Frank Parkinson’s generosity and vision. Thank you to David Higgins and Jeremy Davies for their guidance and support. I give considerable thanks to Fiona Beckett and John Whale for their encouragement and expert interventions.

The tale of the rex Nemorensis appears in a number of ancient sources. Ovid gives a poetic account of the priesthood of Nemi in his Nemi: v. 3Book 3, on the month of Marchnoting that the lake of Nemi was "sacred to antique religion", and that the priest who dwelt there "holds his reign by strong hands and fleet feet, and dies according to the example he set himself. The Greek geographer Strabo also mentions the institution: "and in fact a barbaric, and Scythianelement predominates in the sacred usages, for the people set up as priest merely a run-away slave who has slain with his own hand the man previously consecrated to that office; accordingly the priest is always armed with a sword, looking around for the attacks, and ready to defend himself. Pausanias gives an etiological myth on the founding of the shrine:. The Aricians tell a tale… that when Hippolytus the son of Theseus was killed, owing to the curses of Theseus, Asclepius raised him Nemi: v. 3 the Nemi: v. 3. On coming to life again he Nemi: v. 3 to forgive his father; rejecting his prayers, he went to the Aricians in Italy. There he became king and devoted a precinct to Artemiswhere down to my time the prize for the victor in single combat was the priesthood of the goddess.
