HMA is a digital agency specialising in Health, Science & Technology. Recently grown from 10 to 21 people, they are based in Yorkshire.
Nicola Tiffany, HMA's Managing Director and Barbara Pemberton, their Office Manager discuss running an agency, quality management and when to hire people.
"Synergist has streamlined our information storage, how we report on what has happened and also how we plan for the future."
These principles are inspiring, not only for their design wisdom. You can even apply them to the management of a digital agency like ours!
How? Let's pick just 3 of these principles.
"In our industry, 'Useful' means 'Effective'. Dieter Rams' point is that design isn't merely about attractiveness. It has a job to do.
"Here's an example of the change in thinking:"
'Plurality is changing everything, the creative person in the advertising agency, the hot shotwriter, is no longer the kingpin that he once was.
"That makes so much sense to us. There's a new realism and transparency today. Clients really will not put up with mystery and pomposity."
RESULTS. "At HMA we have always had a total focus on producing results for clients. We work hard to clarify the exact purpose of each job, and seek out the benchmarks, the impact and the effectiveness on the client's business. It's a key part of our culture.
"2-3 years ago we decided to grow our business. This was not for the sake of growth in itself, but in order to be able to offer an ever-improving service to clients and a wider, deeper set of digital specialities."
"For us, that's what growth is for.
"Another benefit: growth's created career opportunities for the team.
1. We knew it didn't do what we needed it to do.
2. It was dependent on one person to make it work.
3. It wasn't scalable. We needed a system that would take care of the business agency fundamentals and allow us to grow when we chose to.
"When we were ready for a new system, we looked at three offerings and chose Synergist. This was in 2007."
"One big reason for implementing Synergist was to avoid wasting so much time running the mechanics of the agency when we want to focus purely on clients."
"So, when planning our growth we went for 'lean growth'.
"'Lean' doesn't mean 'thin.' It means order, and making everything work optimally. No waste. No inefficiencies. If an agency has inefficiencies, it's the client that finishes up paying for them. You need process to make it work.
"Synergist plays a significant role in helping agencies drive through efficiencies. Says Rob: "For example, it has helped us to automate reporting. Before Synergist we used to spend hours and hours on producing reports.
"Synergist is a powerful system, which benefits from having someone driving it. Our SuperUser is Barbara."
"One ongoing aspect of our life at HMA is the need to prove to large organisations that a small agency in Barnsley can do the job.
"One way of proving our seriousness is our ISO and quality management story. It proves a commitment to excellent customer service.
"Our Quality Management is externally audited by the British Standards Institute (BSI), accred-iting us with the international standard for quality management, ISO 9001:2008."
We're able to accurately give information as to studio availability instantly to manage expectations of when work will be delivered.
Even Steve Jobs spoke glowingly about the need for process. For all their design and creativity credentials, Jobs said that "Apple is a very disciplined company, and we have great processes. Process makes you more efficient".
"From a Client Services perspective, Synergist is the first thing we open in a morning and the last thing we close when we go home. It contains relevant details for each client and job which make it easier to co-ordinate projects and work between us and the studio.
Clients | Contacts | Jobs/Phases | Estimating | Purchase orders | Quotes | Billing Plans | Invoicing, etc etc"
"Before Synergist we used Filemaker Pro and there were a lot of manual processes which meant there was a greater margin of error when preparing information.
"Synergist has streamlined our information storage, how we report on what has happened and also how we plan for the future (billing plans, scheduling). If I was asked to name just one invaluable tool, it would be Synergist's Data Viewer".
"It also gives everyone in the team easy access to every aspect of jobs, time, even marketing notes. Everything's just there.
I think all agencies will focus much more on outcomes for the client than they ever have before.
They will have to show more sensitivity to clients' budget issues and the pressures brand managers are under to prove value for money.
They will need to show a stronger spirit of partnership with clients.
'We're both in this together to make it work' rather than a vendor-knows-best, patronising approach.


Fraud affects the lives of innocent people as well as the insurance industry. Insurance fraud has existed ever since the beginning of insurance as a commercial enterprise. It takes many forms and may occur in any areas of insurance.
An insurance fraud could either be a hard fraud or a soft fraud.
A hard fraud occurs when someone deliberately plans or invents a loss such as a theft of a motor vehicle or setting fire to property covered by an insurance policy.
Soft frauds are more common and include exaggeration of legitimate claims by policyholders. They are also referred to as opportunistic frauds.
Insurance companies, their intermediaries or those pretending to be either of them may also perpetrate frauds. It is important that fraudulent activities are eliminated from the industry and it is the duty of all stakeholders to do their bit in dealing with insurance fraud.
Public Notice - Let the buyer beware - Check veracity of entity before buying insurance.
Check if you are dealing with registered or licensed parties.


Lincoln dug deep into the realm of the past to bring back the Continental, on production hiatus since 2002, for the 2017 model year, while subtly moving out its MKS as a no-longer-needed sedan. The newest Continental received a longer body than its predecessors, a powerhouse 3.7-liter V6 engine boasting up to 305-horsepower, and an eye-catching interior and modern exterior styling. New to the MKZ this year was a style that looked like it fit right in with the Continental, the star of the 2017 Lincoln lineup, with sleek, luxurious lines. Lincoln also added a 3.0-liter V6 engine option with up to 400-horsepower on the MKZ. Other changes to the line were extremely minor, including adding an engine start-stop function to the MKC and some new standard features like anti-rollback and a power liftgate, but Lincoln saved most of its energy for the return of the Continental and a newly-redesigned Navigator the following year.
The 2017 Lincoln Continental resurrects the flagship Lincoln sedan, offering owners a traditional American luxury car.
The 2017 Lincoln MKC has the luxury that you'd expect from Lincoln, as well as sporty and convenient features for a comfortable ride.
With its signature winged grille, the 2017 Lincoln MKT gives you everything that you'd expect from a Lincoln and much more.
It's Lincoln's best-selling model for a reason; the 2017 Lincoln MKX gives you power, handling, and beauty in a refined mid-sized crossover.
The new 2017 Lincoln MKZ combines a new look with modern technology and a Lincoln-specific powertrain to create an outstanding midsize sedan.
With its new design, the 2017 Lincoln Navigator is sure to turn eyes for its beautiful shape, oversized grille, and massive gullwing door.
With an extended wheelbase you get all of the luxuries that you've come to expect from the Navigator, but with even more space.

Q: How to find the argmax of a two dimensional array in numpy? I have a numpy ndarray:
array = np.array([[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]])

Whenever I do, np.argmax(array), it doesn't return a tuple of row and column.
 Why not?

A: You didn't specify an axis.  It returns an index into the flattened array, as documented.
>>> L = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]
>>> np.argmax(L)
8
>>> np.array(L).ravel()[np.argmax(L)]
9

If you want to get the row and column from that index, unravel it:
>>> np.unravel_index(8, np.array(L).shape)
(2, 2)

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine mostly concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine.[1][2] Some proponents, especially those in the field's early history, have claimed that such disorders affect general health via the nervous system,[2] through vertebral subluxation, claims which are not based on scientific evidence. The main chiropractic treatment technique involves manual therapy, especially spinal manipulation therapy (SMT), manipulations of other joints and soft tissues.[3] Its foundation is at odds with mainstream medicine, and chiropractic is sustained by pseudoscientific ideas such as subluxation and "innate intelligence" that reject science.[4][5][6][7][8] Chiropractors are not medical doctors.[9]
Numerous controlled clinical studies of treatments used by chiropractors have been conducted, with conflicting results.[4] Systematic reviews of this research have not found evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective, with the possible exception of treatment for back pain.[4] A critical evaluation found that collectively, spinal manipulation was ineffective at treating any condition.[10] Spinal manipulation may be cost-effective for sub-acute or chronic low back pain but the results for acute low back pain were insufficient.[11] The efficacy and cost-effectiveness of maintenance chiropractic care are unknown.[12] There is not sufficient data to establish the safety of chiropractic manipulations.[13] It is frequently associated with mild to moderate adverse effects, with serious or fatal complications in rare cases.[14] There is controversy regarding the degree of risk of vertebral artery dissection, which can lead to stroke and death, from cervical manipulation.[15] Several deaths have been associated with this technique[14] and it has been suggested that the relationship is causative,[16][17] a claim which is disputed by many chiropractors.[17]
Chiropractic is well established in the United States, Canada, and Australia.[18] It overlaps with other manual-therapy professions such as osteopathy and physical therapy.[19] Most who seek chiropractic care do so for low back pain.[20] Back and neck pain are considered the specialties of chiropractic, but many chiropractors treat ailments other than musculoskeletal issues.[4] Many chiropractors describe themselves as primary careproviders,[4][21] but the chiropractic clinical training does not support the requirements to be considered primary care providers,[2] so their role on primary care is limited and disputed.[2][21] Chiropractic has two main groups: "straights", now the minority, emphasize vitalism, "innate intelligence", and consider vertebral subluxations to be the cause of all disease; "mixers", the majority, are more open to mainstream views and conventional medical techniques, such as exercise, massage, and ice therapy.[22]
D. D. Palmer founded chiropractic in the 1890s,[23] after saying he received it from "the other world",[24] and his son B. J. Palmer helped to expand it in the early 20th century.[23] Throughout its history, chiropractic has been controversial.[25][26] Despite the overwhelming evidence that vaccination is an effective public health intervention, among chiropractors there are significant disagreements over the subject,[27] which has led to negative impacts on both public vaccination and mainstream acceptance of chiropractic.[28] The American Medical Association called chiropractic an "unscientific cult" in 1966[29] and boycotted it until losing an antitrust case in 1987.[21] Chiropractic has had a strong political base and sustained demand for services; in recent decades, it has gained more legitimacy and greater acceptance among conventional physicians and health plans in the United States.[21]
Burnet (/ˈbɜːrnᵻt/ bur-nit) is a city in and the county seat of Burnet County, Texas, United States.[3] The population was 5,987 at the 2010 census.[4]
Both the city and the county were named for David Gouverneur Burnet, the first (provisional) president of the Republic of Texas. He also served as Vice President during the administration of Mirabeau B. Lamar.
Burnet is located one mile west of the divide between the Brazos and Colorado River watersheds near the center of Burnet County. It is 54 miles (87 km) northwest of the state capital, Austin – roughly a 1- to 1½-hour drive via U.S. Highway 183 and State Highway 29. It is 36 miles (58 km) west of Georgetown and Interstate Highway 35 via State Highway 29, and 100 miles (160 km) north of San Antonio on U.S. Highway 281.
According to the United States Census Bureau, Burnet has a total area of 10.2 square miles (26.3 km2), of which 10.1 square miles (26.2 km2) is land and 0.04 square miles (0.1 km2), or 0.32%, is water.[4]

Replace The Hate
EVENTS & PRESS
REPLACE HATE WITH
Don't get mad,
get CREATIVE.
We have a visual voice
LET'S USE IT.
Our community SHOWCASE
Start the DIALOGUE
In the weeks following the 2016 Presidential election, the United States saw an unprecedented rise in hate speech, hate crimes, vandalism and violence against minorities and people of color. (SPLCenter). Talk of racism, bigotry and hate began making its way across America and onto college campuses.
HATE HITS HOME
When white supremacist recruitment posters went up on the campus of Kutztown University, Professor Vicki L. Meloney in the Communication Design department didn't get mad, she got creative. She quickly sent an email to her students offering them extra credit for transforming the hate posters into something beautiful. She told the students they could cut and collage it, fold it, or use it as a canvas to transform the meaning. She asked them to replace the hate with something hopeful. The email made its way to social media where there was an outpouring of interest and support. Within 24 hours the post received more than 20,000 "likes" and had almost 2000 comments, all with encouraging words. Everyone wanted to see what the students had created. The response was so great, that she and her colleagues realized that this was a teachable moment in history which encouraged the design educators to do more.
Professor Meloney reached out to Doris Palmeros, a Professor in the Graphic Design Department at University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas. Professor Meloney and Professor Palmeros are great friends that attended graduate school at Temple University's Tyler School of Art years before. The goal was to co-organize a community based image-making workshop that would promote anti-hate messages in a bipartisan atmosphere. The idea of bringing people together to share a space in two separate locations across the U.S., to make art, with the purpose of creating something positive, was invigorating.
The first workshop was an unexpected success. More than 100 students, faculty, staff and community members showed up to participate in the anti-hate art making workshop. Upon hearing of the event, it was clear that people had a desire to come together and to let their visual voices be heard.
Community members young and old from all walks of life, no matter their race, gender, religion or political affiliation, joined the graphic design students and came together not knowing what to expect, but knowing that they were not happy about the threat of hatred encroaching onto their campus, in their towns and into their lives.
REPLACE-THE-HATE IS BORN
It seemed that the email to the students had hit a collective nerve and ignited an interest that demanded a response. With an outpouring of interest and support, Replace-the-Hate was born. Replace-the-Hate is a grassroots effort led by design educators to build communal ties, renounce hate and rejoice in diversity through creative expressions and community art making workshops.
Since that initial event, Vicki L. Meloney and Doris Palmeros have been asked to organize similar workshops, speak at national and international conferences and curate a traveling gallery exhibition.

Interview questions article that will help you review and be prepared.
You're competition is always preparing.
It's important to remember that every interview is a two-way street.
You should be assessing the employer just as much as they're assessing you because you both need to walk away convinced that the job would be a great fit.
So when the tables are turned and the interviewer asks, "Do you have any questions for me?" take advantage of this opportunity. It's the best way to determine if you'd be happy working for this employer, and whether your goals are aligned with theirs.
Amy Hoover, president of TalentZoo, says there's another reason you should always prepare questions. "It's expected — and if you don't ask at least two questions, you will appear disinterested, or worse, less intelligent and engaged than a prospective employer would like." You should have at least four questions prepared, though, in case your original two are answered through the course of the interview.
But, Hoover says, don't just ask questions for the sake of it. To actually benefit from them, you'll need to think carefully about what you want to ask.
Luckily, there are plenty of smart ones to pick from.
1. Have I answered all of your questions?
Not only will they appreciate the offer, but it may be a good chance for you to gauge how well you're doing, says Bill York, an executive recruiter with over 30 years experience and founder of executive search firm Tudor Lewis.
If they say, "No, actually you answered all of my questions very well!" then this may tell you you're in good shape. If they respond with, "Actually, could you tell me more about X?" or "Would you be able to clarify what you meant when you said Y?" then this is your chance for a re-do.
2. Who do you think would be the ideal candidate for this position, and how do I compare?
Hoover recommends this question because it's a quick way to figure out whether your skills align with what the company is currently looking for. If they don't match up, then you know to walk away instead of wasting time pursuing the wrong position for yourself, she says.
3. Who would I be reporting to? Are those three people on the same team or on different teams? What's the pecking order?
If you're going to be working for several people, you need to know "the lay of the internal land," she says, or if you're going to be over several people, then you probably want to get to know them before accepting the position.
4. How has this position evolved?
Basically, this question just lets you know whether this job is a dead end or a stepping-stone.
5. How would you describe the company's culture?
Hoover says this question gives you a broad view on the corporate philosophy of a company and on whether it prioritizes employee happiness.
6. Who do you consider your major competitors? How are you better?
7. Beyond the hard skills required to successfully perform this job, what soft skills would serve the company and position best?
Knowing what skills the company thinks are important will give you more insight into its culture and its management values, Hoover says, so you can evaluate whether you would fit in.
9. What do you like most about working for this company?
Hoover says this question is important because it lets you "create a sense of camaraderie" with the interviewer because "interviewers — like anyone — usually like to talk about themselves and especially things they know well." Plus, this question gives you a chance to get an insider's view on the best parts about working for this particular company, she says.
10. Can you give me example of how I would collaborate with my manager?
Knowing how managers use their employees is important so you can decide whether they are the type of boss that will let you use your strengths to help the company succeed.
11. Can you tell me what steps need to be completed before your company can generate an offer?
"Any opportunity to learn the timeline for a hire is crucial information for you," Hoover advises.
Asking about an "offer" rather than a "decision" will give you a better sense of the timeline because "decision" is a broad term, while an "offer" refers to the point when they're ready to hand over the contract.
12. How would you score the company on living up to its core values? What's the one thing you're working to improve on?
Harrison says this is a respectful way to ask about shortcomings within the company — which you should definitely be aware of before joining a company. As a bonus, he says it shows that you are being proactive in wanting to understand more about the internal workings of the company before joining it.
13. What are the challenges of this position?
If the interviewer says, "There aren't any," you should proceed with caution.
14. What have past employees done to succeed in this position?
15. If you were to hire me, what might I expect in a typical day?
Obviously this shows your eagerness about the position, Harrison says, but it also gives you a better idea about what the job will be like on a daily basis so you can decide whether you really want to pursue it. "A frank conversation about position expectations and responsibilities will ensure not only that this is a job you want, but also one that you have the skills to be successful in," he advises.
16. What type of employee tends to succeed here? What qualities are the most important for doing well and advancing at the firm?
17. Is there anyone else I need to meet with?/Is there anyone else you would like me to meet with?
Hoover says knowing if they want you to meet with potential coworkers or not will give you insight into how much the company values building team synergy. In addition, if the interviewer says you have four more interviews to go, then you've gained a better sense of the hiring timeline as well, she says.
18. How do you help your team grow professionally?
Harrison says this question shows that you're willing to work hard to ensure that you grow along with your company. This is particularly important for hourly workers, he says, because they typically have a higher turnover rate, and are thus always looking for people who are thinking long-term.
19. When your staff comes to you with conflicts, how do you respond?
Knowing how a company deals with conflicts gives you a clearer picture about the company's culture, Harrison says. But more importantly, asking about conflict resolution shows that you know dealing with disagreements in a professional manner is essential to the company's growth and success.
20. Will I have an opportunity to meet those who would be part of my staff/my manager during the interview process?
Getting the chance to meet with potential teammates or managers is essential to any professional interview process, Hoover says. If they don't give that chance, "proceed with caution," she advises.
21. How do you evaluate success here?
Knowing how a company measures its employees' success is important. It will help you understand what it would take to advance in your career there — and can help you decide if the employer's values align with your own.
22. What are some of the problems your company faces right now? And what is your department doing to solve them?
Asking about problems within a company gets the "conversation ball" rolling, and your interviewer will surely have an opinion, Oliver writes. Further, she says their answers will give you insights into their personality and ambitions and will likely lead to other questions.
23. What's your timeline for making a decision, and when can I expect to hear back from you?
This one tells them you're interested in the role and eager to hear their decision.
24. Is this a new position? If not, why did the person before me leave this role?
This might be uncomfortable to ask, but Harrison says it's not uncommon to ask and that it shows you are being smart and analytical by wanting to know why someone may have been unhappy in this role previously.
If you found out they left the role because they were promoted, that's also useful information.
25. Where do you see the company in three years and how would the person in this role contribute to this vision?
Asking this question will show your interviewer that you can think big picture, that you're wanting to stay with the company long-term, and that you want to make a lasting impression in whatever company you end up in, says Harrison.
26. I read X about your CEO in Y magazine. Can you tell me more about this?
Oliver says questions like this simply show you've done your homework and are genuinely interested in the company and its leaders.
27. What's your staff turnover rate and what are you doing to reduce it?
While this question may seem forward, Harrison says it's a smart question to ask because it shows that you understand the importance of landing a secure position. "It is a black and white way to get to the heart of what kind of company this is and if people like to work here," he says.
28. Is there anything else I can provide to help you make your decision?
29. Is there anything we haven't covered that you think is important to know about working here?

If i remove exit and generate the pdf then it shows page number in pdf file like
Output:   Day School 2
why $pdf->getAliasNumPage()  showing  {:pnp:} and not showing page number?
why it's value can not be stored in to variable or database?
Can anyone help me to get the page number in tcpdf to store in database?  these function $pdf->getAliasNumPage() shows page number for pdf but when i pass it's value in mysql query or in variable it shows empty why?
Any help would be appreciated.

Page number value doesn't work it shows {:pnp:}  if i enable print_r.
please help!

A: From the Documentation,
https://tcpdf.org/docs/source_docs/classtcpdf/#ae11c5f52caa0df8609ec22c30cd54055
Returns the string alias used for the page number. If the current font is unicode type, the returned string is surrounded by additional curly braces. This alias will be replaced by the page number.
The reason for this is because at that point in the code, it doesn't know what the page number will end up being, because you have not written the html to pdf pages yet.
If you were to write your html to the document throughout the loop, then you could use the PageNo() method to get the current page
https://tcpdf.org/docs/source_docs/classtcpdf/#a9ad828b184f08828f570a7e52316ba79
For example:
foreach ($schoolquery as $key => $statevalue)
{
    // Get Page Number
    $pnom =  $pdf->PageNo();
    // Write information to document
    $html = "
". $statevalue['name'];
    $pdf->writeHTML($html, true, false, true, false, '');
    // Store page information to database
    $this->db->where('school_id', $statevalue['id']);
    $this->db->update('school', array('school_pageno' => $pnom));

A New Era Begins: Michael Triant Named New WHS Boys Basketball Coach
by Cary Shuman • July 30, 2020 • 0 Comments
Michael Triant knows all about Winthrop High's outstanding basketball tradition. In fact, the former 1997 Dom Savio basketball captain says he was inspired by the 1995 Winthrop High team that won the state championship.
"I can name the starting five for Peter Grimes' team that won it all," said Triant. "The way they came together as a team and won that incredible overtime game in the Garden was something special and helped inspire me for my senior-year team at Savio."
Winthrop High School Director of Athletics Matt Serino has named Triant as the new Winthrop High boys basketball head coach. Triant, 40, succeeds David Sacco as head coach.
"I'm very excited and looking forward to it," said Triant, who is the executive director of the Salesian Boys and Girls Club in East Boston. "I just want to say how grateful I am to Athletic Director Matt Serino and Principal Matt Crombie for the opportunity they've given me. "I am looking forward to working with them to continue to advance the high school program and basketball in our great town.
I think that David did a great job for the last three years really getting the ball rolling here and starting to change the culture," added Triant. "I think there's still a lot more that has to be done and I look forward to the challenge and forming some good relationships around the town to bring Winthrop basketball back to where it belongs.
Triant served as assistant varsity coach on Sacco's staff in Winthrop for the past three seasons. He previously served as junior varsity coach on Jay Seigal's Chelsea High staff for eight seasons.
A Captain of the Savio Prep Spartans
The son of George and Janet Triant, Michael grew up in Orient Heights and attended St. Mary's and St. Lazarus Schools in East Boston before enrolling at Savio. He graduated from Bridgewater State University with a degree in Physical Education/Recreation.
"I tried out for the team at Bridgewater and ended up not making the team, but I played intramurals," said Triant.
In high school, Michael was a 6-foot, 3-inch starting forward for an outstanding Savio team coached by Angelo Fantasia.
"We lost to Weston High, 103-90, in the Sectional Finals at UMass Boston on a day I'll never forget – we probably didn't give up 75 points in a game all year," recalled Triant. "Michael DiMarino, Chris Previte, and I were the three senior captains. Coach Fantasia was a Winthrop guy and he was a school principal when he coached us at Savio. He [Fantasia] wrote me a great recommendation for the Winthrop position and I'm still really close to Coach Fantasia and Coach Jim Doherty, great guys who I grew up having as coaches and also my dad – people who helped me develop the love for the game."
His Coaching Philosophy
Triant said he wants to instill in his Winthrop players the positive attitude and inspiring lessons that he learned from his coaches and mentors.
"I want to use basketball as a tool to make the players the best human beings that they can become," said Triant. "Positive young adults – that's what we're looking to mold. We're going to stress academics a lot and make sure they're good students and good members of the community. Basketball is important to us here, but it's more about using basketball to teach guys lessons about life."
Assistant Coaches Named to WHS staff
Triant said Kevin Adamson, a former Savio three-sport standout, will be returning to the Winthrop coaching staff. Adamson, who has been helping out the Vikings' freshman team, will move up to the varsity team as a coach. "I think the players respond really well and obviously he knows the game inside and out," said Triant.
Former Winthrop center Anthony Hatzisavas, who helped lead Coach David Brown's Vikings to the 2011 Division 4 state championship, will move up from junior varsity coach to varsity assistant coach.
Hatzisavas had one of the greatest performances in Winthrop post-season history, scoring 22 points, grabbing 17 rebounds, and blocking five shots in a 71-58 win over Georgetown in the sectional semifinals. The headline in the Sun Transcript: How Do You Spell Dominating? H-a-t-z-i-s-a-v-a-s.
"That's Hatzi – he's been a great asset to our program," said Triant.
Triant has a good nucleus returning, led by Cam Conway, the Vikings' leading scorer who could land in the 1,000 point club with a big senior season. Starting point guard Chris Cappuccio also returns for the Vikings. Austin Daigneault, Tyler Rockefeller, and Brian Conceicao are also expected to be key players.
A Winthrop Resident for the Past 5 years
Michael Triant and his wife, Melissa, live in Winthrop and have three young children, Chase, a third-grader, Callie, a second grader, and Christian, who is 3 years old.
''We love living here," said Triant.

Arab League: Israel 'abusing' Palestinian prisoners
Arab League chief urges Red Cross to intervene and halt Israeli authorities' "abuse" of terrorist prisoners.
Terrorism ICRC Hunger Strike Hunger Strikers Ahmed Abul Gheit
Ahmed Abul Gheit Reuters
Arab League chief Ahmed Abul Gheit on Wednesday urged the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to intervene and halt what it called Israeli authorities' "abuse" of Palestinian prisoners.
Abul Gheit sent a letter to ICRC president Peter Maurer requesting "the committee (ICRC) urgently intervene with Israeli authorities to stop the various abuses being committed against those prisoners of war", the Arab League said.
The letter comes amid a mass hunger strike by terrorist prisoners over demands ranging from improved medical care to greater access to telephone calls.
The terrorist prisoners, led by Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti, launched the hunger strike last week, but by the end of the week the hunger strike showed signs of weakening.
Barghouti is serving five life sentences in an Israeli prison for his role in planning suicide terror attacks during the second intifada from 2000 to 2005.
Abul Gheit's letter to the ICRC is part of contacts "with international actors to stop violations against Palestinian prisoners of war in Israeli prisons", the League said in a statement.
He called for the ICRC to demand Israel "ensure treating Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike according to norms and standards set in international humanitarian law".
The Arab League chief sent a similar letter on Tuesday to United Nations secretary general Antonio Guterres.
Jailed terrorists have often used hunger strikes as a pressure tactic aimed at forcing Israel to improve the conditions of their imprisonment or release them out of fear for their lives. Israel has several times in the past caved to the pressure and released some hunger strikers.
Some 1,550 Palestinian Arabs imprisoned in Israel ended a hunger strike in May 2012, in exchange for a package of measures which would allow visits from relatives in Gaza and the transfer of detainees out of solitary confinement.

John Mayer Back On The Road, The Charts And The Celebrity Blogs
John Mayer is on the road again, touring ahead of "The Search For Everything," his new album that drops on April 14. But Mayer is once again in the headlines not as much for his music but rather a former relationship with pop star Katy Perry.
This shouldn't come as too much of a surprise: yes, the "Love On The Weekend" singer is a notorious lady's man and sure, he's had a couple "foot-in-mouth" moments regarding women while speaking with the press over the years. But Mayer's relationship with Perry, which lasted on-and-off for about a year-and-a-half, was different because it was both personal and professional.
Back in the summer of 2013, yours truly broke the news that Mayer and Perry recorded a song together. That track, "Who You Love" eventually served as a single off of the guitarist's sixth studio album, "Paradise Valley." Later that year, Perry told me that she worked on more than the song with Mayer.
"He played guitar actually on a couple of songs (on 'PRISM'), which was awesome," she revealed in the August 2013 phone interview. "He's just been a great support, and that's all you can ask (of your partner)."
So did the musical collaborations lead Mayer to forge deeper feelings for Perry? He certainly leaves it up for public discussion on the song, "Still Feel Like Your Man," from "Search."
"I still keep your shampoo in my shower, in case you wanna wash your hair," Mayer croons on the track. "And I know that you probably found yourself someone, somewhere. But I do not really care."
The list of people that he could be referring to is rather short, and by rather short, it's pretty much exclusively Perry; this much Mayer confirmed in a recent interview with the New York Times.
"Who else would I be thinking about?" he told the Times. "And by the way, it's a testament to the fact that I have not dated a lot of people in the last five, six years. That was my only relationship. So it's like, give me this, people."
And so as Mayer returns to the road, the iTunes chart and potentially the airwaves, he too may return to the world of celebrity. But he probably does not really care about that, either.

INTERVIEW: Phillip Phillips Says He's In Great Health
Say whatever you want about Phillip Phillips except that fame and fortune changed him.
"I'm just watching everybody else lose money," Phillips responded to "Ralphie Tonight" last week when asked if he had a college basketball pick. The "Home" singer found himself in Dallas, the host city for this year's Final Four weekend, to perform on "Conan." He did not fill out a bracket.
"Nah, I'm too cheap to do that."
You could encourage him to "never change" but at this point, he probably does not need the advice. Besides, who saw UConn winning the National Championship anyways? The Huskies going all the way was about as likely as a kid of a pawn shop owner from Albany, Ga. winning "American Idol" and selling over a million copies of his debut album.
Well, if the points about his betting habits and background illustrate anything, it is that Phillips is unique. Perhaps that explains the mellow guitar player's early success. After a cross-country trek last year with John Mayer, it does not seem that Phillips is fading away any time soon. The "Idol" winner released "Raging Fire," the first single from his sophomore LP Behind The Light, due out in May. It is Phillips' first song to hit radio that he received a writing credit for.
"We wrote that one so quick," he said of the track. "First it was me and Todd (Clark) in the room and we started pounding it out. Then Derek (Fuhrmann) came in. We wrote it in less than a week and it was just all craziness."
Phillips had a chance to return to his old stomping grounds and perform the song live. He characterized the trip back to the "Idol" set as "terrifying" at first.
"It was like a nervous little kid going somewhere that you know everyone but it's been a while and you don't really know how to react," he recalled. "But it was awesome."
His persona obviously did not change following the show, but his music might. In addition to having a bigger influence in the first radio single for this project, Phillips noted that there was another difference for his second release.
"I had more time to make this one," he noted. "I got to do more with production and producing it as well. I got to make it sound like me."
Phillips classified the new record as "more rock" in part because he brought in a band for most of it. He is the only featured artist on the LP but revealed that Robert Randolph plays guitar on one track. Behind The Light drops May 19. Phillips will co-headline a tour this summer with O.A.R. to support the record.
And perhaps most importantly of all, the artist will do all of this in a good physical state. After a few publicized trips to the hospital for a congenital kidney condition, Phillips said that his "health is great" and should be for many years to come.

INTERVIEW: Katy Perry Reveals John Mayer Contributed to New LP; Says She Doesn't Use Snapchat
If Katy Perry and John Mayer weren't dating, this would be an awkward moment for both their personal lives and professional careers. On the same day Perry released her new single, "Roar," the duet she sang with Mayer, "Who You Love," also hit the Internet. In an interview with 95.5 PLJ, the "Teenage Dream" singer revealed that the couple has created more music together.
"(Mayer) played guitar actually, on a couple songs, which was awesome," Perry told "The Ralphie Show" of his involvement with her third studio LP, Prism. "He's just been a great support and that's all you can ask. If your partner is a great support, that's perfect."
Perry also commented on the aforementioned duet, which will appear on Mayer's album Paradise Valley, out on August 20. The track's existence was first reported by "The Ralphie Show" in June.
"I'm very proud of it," she said. "It's another side of me… many different personalities in me."
Something Perry probably wasn't too proud of was the leak of that new track last weekend. A standard practice in the music industry, Capitol Records watermarks advance copies of material not available to the public. Through the technology, Perry was able to discover where the leak emanated from.
"Sometimes it's an accident, sometimes it's carelessness… sometimes that person didn't even mean (to leak it)," Perry explained of the situation. "It's not a big deal because believe you me, I wanted you guys to hear this song when I created it in March. I wrote this song in March and I was like, 'I'm dying. Should I Instagram something? Should I do a little Snapchat of it? What should I do?'"
Perry did none of the above, and to this day claims to not be on Snapchat (Also, if Perry wrote "Roar" in March, it may discredit the idea that the track is a rip-off of Sara Bareilles' "Brave."). The messaging application sends a photo to a recipient that they can only view for a predetermined set amount of time, after which point the picture allegedly is no longer accessible.
"I don't Snapchat because… I know it alerts you when people do keep stuff, but I don't know," Perry said. "I don't need to be putting any kind of weird things online that supposedly disappear. Yeah right brah!"

INTERVIEW: Bonnie McKee Heard About Katy Perry/John Mayer Collab 'Through The Grapevine'
Singer/songwriter Bonnie McKee has more in common with Katy Perry than you might think. McKee is credited as a co-writer on some of Perry's biggest tracks, from "California Gurls" to "Teenage Dream." But in addition to sharing tracks, both have experienced the rollercoaster of a record label letting them go from a contract.
"I've known Katy and Ke$ha since back in the day," McKee told me in an interview that aired Wednesday on "The Ralphie Show." "It feels like kind of a badge of honor to be dropped, honestly. It's like you get to have a trial run and learn all your lessons and everything, and then the next time around you have more experience; you know what to do."
Perry went through two trial runs before landing at Capitol Records and becoming a household name. McKee, who also penned tracks for Ke$ha, Taio Cruz, and others, was on Warner Brothers before finding her way as a songwriter and eventually her home with Epic Records.
"I don't get paid to write songs," McKee claimed of how her particular pay structure works. "I only get publishing (rights)."
Basically, McKee gets no money upfront, but can make a considerable amount of cash on the other end after sales, airplay, placements, and other considerations. The singer now has her own song, "American Girl," and is working on her first album with Epic. She can only hope the track finds as much success as the eight other chart topping singles she has contributed to.
"It's a major feat to have anything you write be on the radio," she said. "I'm incredibly grateful and lucky to have had those opportunities."
Judging by the lip-sync video released for "American Girl," McKee's friends are pretty pumped for her second run as a solo artist. Ke$ha, Tommy Lee, Jason Derulo, Cruz, and Adam Lambert are a few of the celebrities who submitted pieces for the project. Perry also created a lip-sync video, and has been doing a little songwriting of her own recently. "The Ralphie Show" reported that Perry and boyfriend John Mayer co-wrote a track for Mayer's upcoming album.
"I've heard about it," a tight-lipped McKee let out. "I heard through the grapevine, actually."

UPDATE: Mayer/Perry Song Makes 'Paradise Valley' Track Listing
It is official: Katy Perry and John Mayer have penned a song together, and that track will appear on Mayer's album Paradise Valley. The only question left unanswered for sure is: Will Perry's vocals be featured on the single as well? My initial sources confirmed a version of the song with the "Teenage Dream" singer has in fact been recorded. But with Perry and Mayer under different record labels, there is no guarantee that financials for her cameo were worked out before the LP was sent to be mastered.
"The Ralphie Show" broke the exclusive on June 27: Mayer was finalizing his fourth studio album, and it was a possibility that a duet he recorded with his on-and-off girlfriend could make the cut. This isn't exactly uncharted territory for the "Who Says" singer; 2009's Battle Studies saw Taylor Swift cameo on "Half Of My Heart." But while Swift is noted as a featured artist, it is Mayer who receives the only writer's credit for that song.
Paradise Valley is now slated for an August 20 release according to its Amazon.com page. Under Perry's catalog listing on the Warner/Chappell Music web site, she and Mayer are co-writers for "Who You Love." Amazon places it as track 6 on the album, and snippets of the song can be heard below in this footage released by Mayer of himself in studio recording the project.

On cracking a 2,500-year-old Sanskrit code
Courtesy: Rahil Rajpopat
"I had a eureka moment in Cambridge!" That is Dr Rishi Rajpopat, a 27-year-old PhD student from the University of Cambridge, describing the moment he realised he had cracked a grammatical problem that has stumped many Sanskrit scholars since the 5th Century BC.
Rajpopat made the breakthrough by decoding a rule taught by Pāṇini, known as the father of linguistics, and is now encapsulated in his thesis entitled 'In Pāṇini We Trust: Discovering the Algorithm for Rule Conflict Resolution in the Astādhyāyī'. According to the university, leading Sanskrit experts have described Rajpopat's discovery as "revolutionary" and it could now mean that Pāṇini's grammar can also be taught to computers for the first time.
Courtesy: Cambridge University Library
"Pāṇini had an extraordinary mind and he built a machine unrivalled in human history. He didn't expect us to add new ideas to his rules. The more we fiddle with Pāṇini's grammar, the more it eludes us," says Rajpopat.
"I had a eureka moment at Cambridge!"
The world's greatest grammatical puzzle that had defeated scholars for centuries has been cracked by #Sanskrit PhD student @RishiRajpopat.
Read how he did it 👇@stjohnscam @CambridgeFames @HCI_London
— Cambridge University (@Cambridge_Uni) December 15, 2022
The 2,500-year-old algorithm decoded by him makes it possible, for the first time, to accurately use Pāṇini's so-called "language machine". Dr Rajpopat's discovery makes it possible to "derive" any Sanskrit word, to construct millions of grammatically correct words, using Pāṇini's revered language machine, which is widely considered to be one of the greatest intellectual achievements in history.
Pāṇini's system – 4,000 rules detailed in his renowned work, the Aṣṭādhyāyī, which is thought to have been written around 500 BC – is meant to work like a machine. Feed in the base and suffix of a word and it should turn them into grammatically correct words and sentences through a step-by-step process.
Until now, however, there has been a big problem. Often, two or more of Pāṇini's rules are simultaneously applicable at the same step leaving scholars to agonise over which one to choose. Solving so-called "rule conflicts", which affect millions of Sanskrit words including certain forms of "mantra" and "guru", requires an algorithm. Rajpopat's research shows that Pāṇini's so-called language machine is also self-sufficient.
"My student Rishi has cracked it – he has found an extraordinarily elegant solution to a problem which has perplexed scholars for centuries. This discovery will revolutionise the study of Sanskrit at a time when interest in the language is on the rise," said Professor Vincenzo Vergiani, Sanskrit professor and Rajpopat's PhD supervisor.
Six months before Rajpopat made his discovery, his supervisor at Cambridge, Professor Vincenzo Vergiani, Professor of Sanskrit, gave him some prescient advice: "If the solution is complicated, you are probably wrong".
A major implication of Dr Rajpopat's discovery is that now there is the algorithm that runs Pāṇini's grammar, it could potentially teach this grammar to computers.
"Computer scientists working on Natural Language Processing gave up on rule-based approaches over 50 years ago. So teaching computers how to combine the speaker's intention with Pāṇini's rule-based grammar to produce human speech would be a major milestone in the history of human interaction with machines, as well as in India's intellectual history," said Rajpopat.
Sanskrit is an ancient and classical Indo-European language from South Asia. It is the sacred language of Hinduism, but also the medium through which much of India's greatest science, philosophy, poetry and other secular literature have been communicated for centuries. While only spoken in India by an estimated 25,000 people today, Sanskrit has growing political significance in India, and has influenced many other languages and cultures around the world.
"Some of the most ancient wisdom of India has been produced in Sanskrit and we still don't fully understand what our ancestors achieved. We've often been led to believe that we're not important, that we haven't brought enough to the table. I hope this discovery will infuse students in India with confidence, pride, and hope that they too can achieve great things," adds Rajpopat.
This India-born molecular biologist is now within King's close circle
He was born in a suburb of Mumbai and learnt Sanskrit in high school and Pāṇini's Sanskrit grammar informally from a retired Indian professor at no charge whilst pursuing his Bachelor's in Economics in Mumbai. Following a Master's at Oxford, for which he raised money by writing to hundreds of potential donors, Rajpopat started his PhD at St. John's College, Cambridge in 2017 on full scholarship funded by the Cambridge Trust and the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation.
He was awarded his doctorate in January this year and recently joined the School of Divinity at the University of St Andrews.

The Valley Reporter Serving the Mad River Valley since 1971
Bridge Street construction project deadline extended until November 30
After extending the contract deadline for the Bridge Street and covered bridge construction project until November 30, the select board received the news that the pedestrian sidewalk for the bridge would be delivered by October 1, two weeks earlier than anticipated.
The earlier arrival of the pedestrian sidewalk should hasten the completion of the project which was slated to be completed by mid-October. The project got delayed when work on the abutments revealed ledge and when delivery of the pedestrian portion of the bridge got delayed.
The select board, at its September 14 meeting, granted the extension for the project which has had the bridge and the street closed since mid-May. The project involves significant repairs to the covered bridge as well as its abutments, replacing the pedestrian bridge, repairing the stormwater system and repaving the sidewalk. The scope of work grew to include adding a decorative brick border to the sidewalks, streetlamps and benches, all of it funded through donations and all of that work handled by volunteers, led by AnnMarie DeFreest and Barbra Gulisano.
COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS
DeFreest and Gulisano brought the board up to date on their work and the help that they had from volunteers. They had 25 Harwood students, ages 14 to 17, helping with the brick laying a week ago, plus another 18 community volunteers working last Saturday, September 12.
"Ed Read at the Mad River Garden Center sent us two of his guys for two days at no charge to us, really qualified guys who busted their tails for 10-hour days," DeFreest said. Additionally, they received lunch donations from Peasant, Mehuron's, the Neill Farm, Village Grocery and others.
DeFreest and Gulisano asked the board about whether the contract included repairing holes in the roof of the covered bridge. The contractor, Alpine Construction, provided them with an estimate of $75,000 to replace the cedar shakes on the roof. Town administrator Valerie Capels clarified that the contract includes only reroofing the pedestrian sidewalk.
"I've been told that we could put a metal roof on there and it would be cheaper," Gulisano said.
The board discussed the fact that reroofing the whole bridge is outside the scope of the project and not in the budget and ultimately decided to consider having Alpine Construction not reroof the pedestrian portion, getting bids for having the bridge reroofed in metal and with cedar shakes and determine if the work could be completed in a timely fashion before snow falls without going over budget. Capels also noted that she should be able to get at least one grant for at least 50 percent of the cost.
EAST SIDE SIDEWALK
Later during the meeting, the board discussed the town's latest sidewalk project with board members expressing dissatisfaction with the board that the town's project manager and engineer had taken on planning the east side sidewalk without input from the board. The board had a site visit for the project on August 24 and at the meeting which followed told the project manager, Kevin Russell, and the engineer, Greg Goyette, that they were not happy with the proposed layout, the reduction in the amount of parking in the village, the impact on trees and green space, the crosswalk locations, the plan to extend the sidewalk out into the travel lanes with the crosswalks and other details.
At this week's meeting the board discussed the fact that an ad hoc committee had met to work on the plan and had not reported back to the select board for board approval of the preliminary work. The board voted to suspend payment for the time to the project manager and engineer until the board could meet with Russell.

Waitsfield	Bridge Street	covered bridge reconstruction

This central building, first constructed from 1792 to 1800, is home to the President of the United States and the First Family.
However, other close relatives of the President and First Lady, such as parents, grandchildren, stepchildren, and in-laws, may be classified as members of the First Family if they reside in the Executive Residence of the White House Complex.
A two-story sub-basement with mezzanine, created during the 1948–to-1952 Truman reconstruction, is used for HVAC and mechanical systems, storage, and service areas.
A century-and-a-half of wartime destruction and rebuilding, hurried renovations, additions of new services, technologies, an added Third Floor, and inadequate foundations brought the Executive Residence portion of the White House Complex to near-imminent collapse.
The Executive Residence is the central building of the White House complex located between the East Wing and West Wing.
Reconstruction began almost immediately, and President James Monroe moved into the partially reconstructed Executive Residence in October 1817.
It is a two-story structure east of the White House Executive Residence, the home of the President of the United States.
As of 2010, this large central space, originally occupied by the kitchen in the early 1800s, had been subdivided into offices for the White House Curator and the United States Secret Service.
The office is located in the ground floor of the White House Executive Residence.
Adjoining the press secretary's office, in the colonnade between the West Wing and the Executive Residence is the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room along with work space for the White House press corps.
There were no floors in the East Room, the Blue Room, or the western third of the Cross Hall (which at that time extended all the way to the west, as the State Dining Room would not be extended all the way north until 1902).
The State Dining Room is the larger of two dining rooms on the State Floor of the Executive Residence of the White House, the home of the President of the United States in Washington, D.C. It is used for receptions, luncheons, larger formal dinners, and state dinners for visiting heads of state on state visits.
The East Room was among the last rooms on the State Floor to be completed and used.
After the 1948-to-1952 gutting and restoration of the White House, the northern space became the Chief Usher's office.
Physically, the Chief Usher is located in the Usher's Office on the State Floor of the White House, near the Cross Hall and Entrance Hall and beside the entrance to the North Portico.
As of 2010, this space continues to house the bowling alley, as well as the White House chocolatier, the office and workspace of the White House Chief Floral Designer, a cold storage room for flowers and other perishable items, a carpentry shop, and general workrooms.
The Chief Floral Designer heads a staff of four assistant designers, and works with the First Lady, Chief Usher, and White House Social Secretary to plan arrangements and decorations for State Dinners, receptions, and day-to-day placement throughout the ceremonial rooms and Executive Residence.
The Truman Balcony is accessed from this floor.
The Truman Balcony is the second-floor balcony of the Executive Residence of the White House, which overlooks the south lawn.
To the east of this room was a President's Antechamber (later known as the Red Room).
When the Kennedy family first moved into the White House, the Red Room (along with other rooms on the State Floor of the White House) were arranged and decorated using existing items by Sister Parish, Mrs. Kennedy's long-time friend and interior decorator.
President James Monroe gave State Dinners in the Private Dining Room from 1817 to 1825, and subsequent presidents used it as a formal dining room for the First Family or as a space for official but small events.
When the president's office moved to the newly constructed West Wing, the Neoclassical remodeling of the Executive Residence's state rooms gave Theodore Roosevelt a perfect venue reflecting the United States' growing power and influence around the world.
First Lady Edith Wilson turned this room into the China Room in 1917 to display the Executive Residence's growing collection of White House china.
The White House Historical Association, a private foundation established by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy to purchase furniture and decorative and fine arts for the Executive Residence, provided the funds for the purchase.
This level was added during the 1948-to-1952 renovation, and contains the air conditioning and water softening equipment.
The sub-basement and mezzanine also contain storage areas, the heating system, elevator machinery rooms, an incinerator, a medical clinic, a dentist's office, the electrical control system, a laundry room, and flatware and dishware storage.
Architect James Hoban designed the Ground Floor so that the kitchen was directly beneath the Entrance Hall, the door to the kitchen below the North Portico.
The storeroom to the east of the kitchen became a pantry in 1809, a meat locker in 1825, and then a flight of stairs leading to the State Floor by 1946.
In 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt hired the architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White to renovate the White House.
This room became the White House Library in 1935.


Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi came down heavily on the Mamata Banerjee government on Tuesday in an election rally alleging the money that the centre sends to the state for the people don't reach them properly.
"I saw the type of roads that the Bengal government gives you. I took 15 minutes to travel a stretch that should have taken 2 minutes. But you have to travel on these roads every day. We send crores of rupees for Bengal," said Gandhi in speech that lasted for less than 10 minutes.
He was addressing at a tea garden that falls under Alipurduar constituency. The crowd was estimated at about 5,000, and a lot of them were schoolchildren.
"The centre sends more money to Bengal for education. No other state gets as much," remarked Gandhi. But the money does not reach the roads, the education sector or the roads. "Please remember it is your money," remarked Gandhi.
He was obviously trying to rebut the frequent charge of Mamata Banerjee that the centre takes away huge money – Rs 74,000 crore according to her since 2011 – that has left her government cash starved.
"It's sad that the Trinamool government that replaced the Left government in Bengal is doing the same things against which it fought. You have to bring a government that will fight for workers, farmers and the common man," said Gandhi.
Bengal did not get the parivartan it deserved, and Trinamool is acting just like the Left government, he remarked.
The Congress vice president is supposed to address a rally in Kolkata on Tuesday afternoon.
Mamata Banerjee is supposed to address a rally in North Bengal later in the day. It remains to be seen whether she responds to Gandhi's criticism.
In September 2010, in a public rally in the north Bengal town of Siliguri, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee delivered a famous jibe at Rahul Gandhi who was visiting Bengal and addressing rallies. "We are not birds of passage who come here for a day or two and fly away," she commented then.

Paper 2, Option 2B.1: Luther and the German Reformation, c1515–55
Martin Luther: The Christian Between God and Death
Few figures in history have defined their time as dramatically as Martin Luther. And few books have captured the spirit of such a figure as truly as this robust and eloquent life of Luther. A highly regarded historian and biographer and a gifted novelist and playwright, Richard Marius gives us a dazzling portrait of the German reformer--his inner compulsions, his struggle with himself and his God, the gestation of his theology, his relations with contemporaries, and his responses to opponents. Focusing in particular on the productive years 1516-1525, Marius' detailed account of Luther's writings yields a rich picture of the development of Luther's thought on the great questions that came to define the Reformation. Marius follows Luther from his birth in Saxony in 1483, during the reign of Frederick III, through his schooling in Erfurt, his flight to an Augustinian monastery and ordination to the outbreak of his revolt against Rome in 1517, the Wittenberg years, his progress to Worms, his exile in the Wartburg, and his triumphant return to Wittenberg. Throughout, Marius pauses to acquaint us with pertinent issues: the question of authority in the church, the theology of penance, the timing of Luther's Reformation breakthrough, the German peasantry in 1525, Muntzer's revolutionaries, the whys and hows of Luther's attack on Erasmus. In this personal, occasionally irreverent, always humane reconstruction, Luther emerges as a skeptic who hated skepticism and whose titanic wrestling with the dilemma of the desire for faith and the omnipresence of doubt and fear became an augury for the development of the modern religious consciousness of the West. In all of this, he also represents tragedy, with the goodness of his works overmatched by their calamitous effects on religion and society.
Paper 2, Option 2B.2: The Dutch Revolt, c1563–1609
The Netherlands: Revolt and Independence, 1550-1660
Planned with the A-level student specifically in mind, the "Access to History" series is designed to be expansive enough so that re-reading is not required. This book looks at 16th century Netherlands, an area covering Luxembourg, the Netherlands, north-east France and Belgium.

La Traversée des Alpes de Souvorov (en ) est un tableau du peintre russe Vassili Sourikov réalisé en 1899. C'est une peinture à l'huile sur toile dont les dimensions sont de . Le n° d'inventaire au Musée russe à Saint-Pétersbourg, où se trouve le tableau, est Ж-4242.

Réalisation
Le tableau représente l'un des épisodes de la campagne suisse du général russe Souvorov à l'époque des guerres napoléoniennes et de la campagne d'Italie. Plus précisément au moment du passage du col du Panix, quand l'armée du général russe Souvorov descend déjà la montagne. Ce sont probablement les évènements qui suivent ceux représentés sur le tableau d'Alexandre von Kotzebue Le Passage du col du Panix par Souvorov en . Mais de pareilles descentes pouvaient avoir lieu à d'autres moments de la campagne. Le peintre Sourikov ne s'intéresse pas au côté documentaire ou épisodique.

L'épisode décrit est utilisé par le peintre pour révéler l'essence morale et psychologique des évènements.

Le rythme de la marche des soldats russes se transforme soudain en un glissement individuel et chaotique d'une descente abrupte. L'anxiété se lit sur le visage de ceux qui sont à l'arrière et se transforme en peur chez ceux qui sont déjà plus bas. Au centre du tableau certains rient : rire nerveux dû au stress et à la fatigue, admiration sans borne pour l'image du chef, réponse à une plaisanterie du général ? Souvorov, « sans chapeau, les cheveux en désordre, encourage par des lazzi, du haut de son petit cheval, ses enfants accrochés aux parois d'un précipice vertigineux ».

Seule une confiance illimitée dans leur commandement et la foi dans le succès semble pousser ces hommes en avant.
L'un des soldats fait le signe de croix avant d'entamer la descente, mais chez ceux qui sont plus bas, c'est déjà la détermination qui se lit sur les visages.

Histoire de la composition
C'est en  que le peintre Sourikov conçoit le tableau La traversée des Alpes de Souvorov. L'été 1897, Sourikov visite la Suisse et y réalise des croquis préparatoires. Le premier modèle que le peintre trouve pour l'aider à représenter le général Souvorov est un officier cosaque à la retraite de Krasnoïarsk, un certain Fiodor Fiodorovitch Spiridonov, qui à l'époque avait déjà 82 ans. En 1898, Sourikov réalise encore des études pour son tableau avec comme modèle un certain Grigori Nikolaïevitch Smirnov, professeur de chant au gymnase de Krasnoïarsk qui possédait aussi un cheval blanc. Le travail sur son tableau s'est achevé en 1899, cent ans après les évènements. Celui-ci est alors exposé à Saint-Pétersbourg, où il est acquis par l'empereur Nicolas II.

Aujourd'hui, le tableau est exposé au Musée russe à Saint-Pétersbourg.

Appréciation
Le peintre russe Alexandre Benois rapprochait cette œuvre de celle de Fiodor Dostoïevski en littérature. Le style de Sourikov a trouvé dans le personnage de Souvorov un parfait exemple du mélange du sublime et du grotesque propre aux héros de Dostoïevski .
