Description

When he hears about a new colour being brought to Venice, he wants it – and secures a commission to paint the merchant’s wife’s portrait. Red Warning: Dangerous weather is expected and, if you haven’t already done so, you should take action now to keep yourself and others safe from the impact of the severe weather. It is very likely that there will be a risk to life, with substantial disruption to travel, energy supplies and possibly widespread damage to property and infrastructure. You should avoid travelling, where possible, and follow the advice of the emergency services and local authorities. The Germans develop a new military tactic known as Blitzkrieg. The Nazis use Blitzkrieg, dominating land and air warfare, allowing them to take Poland and conquer France in matters of weeks. Britain and Canada, as well as other Commonwealth countries, declare war on Germany. Yellow Warning: Yellow warnings can be issued for a range of weather situations. Many are issued when it is likely that the weather will cause some low level impacts, including some disruption to travel in a few places. Many people may be able to continue with their daily routine, but there will be some that will be directly impacted and so it is important to assess if you could be affected. Other yellow warnings are issued when the weather could bring much more severe impacts to the majority of people but the certainty of those impacts occurring is much lower. It is important to read the content of yellow warnings to determine which weather situation is being covered by the yellow warning.

Elliot said that when the children were given the test on the same day that they were in the “superior” group, they tended to get the highest scores. Students in the “inferior” groups were more likely to get a worse score. If you have ever heard of the self-fulfilling prophecy, these results may not come as a surprise.

Atmospheric and suspenseful, The Colour Storm is an intoxicating story of art and ambition, love and obsession in Renaissance Venice . . .From three sides, the British, Canadians, Americans, and Soviets are starting to shred through what is left of the Third Reich. As the Nazi forces see their final days, Hitler commits suicide, and the Allies begin dividing up Europe. This is such a glorious piece of historical fiction which I was utterly enthralled by. It’s gripping and I felt like I was walking the streets of 16th Century Italy, it is full of light and colour and keeps you on your toes. I went off down several rabbit holes because these were real people who lived and breathed and this telling is fascinating.

The Colour Storm - Penguin Books UK

World War II in Colour presents the history of the 20th Century’s greatest conflict in stunning detail by utilising the latest film colourisation technology. Narrated by legendary English actor Robert Powell, the documentary begins by asking a simple question: How could World War I and the Treaty of Versailles plant the seeds for an even bloodier war less than three decades later? Competitive painters. A new, undiscovered colour that would propel a career. A mysterious, beyond-wealthy couple—a businessman who’s the richest man in Europe, and his kept wife who’s the most beautiful woman a person could set eyes on. With the bubonic plague a looming threat, these elements explode together like paint on a canvas.

This is a compelling and spellbinding story set in Renaissance Venice and centered around a great painter who is searching for a new colour to make his mark upon history. Beautifully written with atmospheric descriptions that will have you believing you're there following in the footsteps of Zorzo. There is also a bit of a mystery surrounding a reputed color/pigment that is very rare and will allegedly bring the owning artist great fortune and game. I didn’t care about the pigment mystery except that it was a conduit for the main character’s, Barbarelli, overall story. While there was a lot going on during this era, I found that the inclusion of the threat of plague and the inquest on top of a mysterious quest for an alleged pigment and a romance was a bit too ambitious for one book. The next day, Elliott reversed the roles. The brown-eyed children could take off their armbands and give them to the blue-eyed children, who were now taught that they were “inferior” to the brown-eyed children. And the exercise continued in a similar fashion to how it was executed the day before. Some weather situations will bring impacts from more than one type of weather. This could include a storm when impacts from both wind and rain may bring disruption. When this happens, a dual warning will be issued.
