The Imitation Game •••1/2
Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode
Director: Morten Tyldum
Screenplay: Andrew Hodges, Graham Moore
Biography/Drama/Thriller, Rated: PG-13
Turing: Single, P-P Mental, Pro (Untransformed Lone Hero)
Nazis: System, N-N Moral, Ant (Untransformed Government Villain)
We just watched another World War II flick, Greg. This one is quite educational.
Benedict Cumberbatch does a good imitation of Alan Turing. Let's recap:
We meet young Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch), a brilliant mathematician, logician, and cryptologist. Turing is a socially awkward man who is fascinated with communication codes. He is applying for a position in the British military to help the Allied forces crack the coding system used by Nazi Germany. Turing is placed in charge of a small group of other brilliant minds who are assigned the task of deciphering the Nazi's "Enigma" codes.
Things are not that easy for Turing. The commanding officer expects the code breakers to decipher messages in 24 hours. But the cipher codes change each day. Turing believes that he must build a machine that will determine the Enigma settings automatically. This effectively breaks the Enigma code permanently.
But Turing needs help. He creates a math puzzle that is published in the British newspapers to attract mathematically inclined minds. One of the contestants turns out to be a bright young woman named Joan Clark (Keira Knightley). Turing hires her, but she isn't allowed to work with the other men – because she's a woman. So Turing surreptitiously feeds her secret documents so she can help with the code breaking. And now the race is on to crack Enigma before the Germans overtake Great Britain.
The Imitation Game is one of the better movies of 2014. Like A Beautiful Mind and The Theory of Everything, this movie tells the story of a male genius scientist who is socially challenged and requires the help of a healthy, stable woman for his genius to be realized. Benedict Cumberbatch is terrific in this role and deserves Oscar consideration.
The hero story here is constructed with care. Turing is sent into an unfamiliar world in which his vast creativity is put to the ultimate test. His abrasive honesty wins him few friends and attracts several enemies within the British military and intelligence unit. His only ally is his woman friend Joan whom we think is a love interest until Turing's homosexuality is revealed. Joan proves to be a loyal friend and mentor whose steadfast companionship, not to mention her own genius, proves essential for Turing to triumph.
You're right that the story is constructed with care, Scott. Sadly, it bears little resemblance to the historical facts. Certain elements are true to life: Nazis, Germany, Britain, Enigma, Joan Clark, Turing, were all there at the same time. But the competition between Turing and the lead general, Commander Denniston, (Charles Dance) was fabricated. Turing's abrasive (borderline Asperger's) personality was exaggerated. The objections of the military to creating a machine to crack the code was a complete fiction. Apparently the truth of history wasn't enough to make a compelling story.
What was true was Turing's homosexuality and his doomed relationship with Joan. This is where the tragedy of The Imitation Game hits home. After having literally saved the world from the Nazi onslaught, Turing is discovered in 1950 to be gay and is subjected to chemical castration (or face imprisonment). Turing was unable to live under those conditions and ultimately committed suicide. It wasn't until 2013 that Queen Elizabeth pardoned him. Unlike the other movies you mention, Scott, this one doesn't have such a happy ending for our hero.
You've pointed out the irony within the tragedy of this story. The very society that Turing saves ends up turning against him. Turing defeats the Nazis but he cannot defeat the English society that is intolerant of his sexual orientation. There aren't many hero stories in which the hero saves the people who kill him. It's truly a sad, embarrassing, and appalling treatment of a man who should have been revered.
That's another of my beefs with this movie, Scott. They had to concoct a villain for Turing to fight against. So they created the "Representative" villain in the form of the Commander Denniston. He represents all the conventional thinking in the military and in British society at large. The unseen enemy is the oncoming German army. The writers also create an enemy in the form of time itself. Since the Enigma code is changed daily, the code breakers have to decipher the messages before midnight each night. So, we get a nice countdown to 12:00 every day which creates a nice sense of tension.
Overall, The Imitation Game is two hours well spent, all the historical inaccuracies notwithstanding. Alan Turing is known as the Father of modern computer science and artificial intelligence, and this film gives us some insight into the challenges he faced in developing one of the world's first computers. Turing's heroism may have done more to defeat the Nazis than that of any other single individual. This movie tells a great story and features outstanding performances from the entire cast. As a result, I'm happy to award this film 4 Reels out of 5.
Turing's hero story is a stirring one. The man has many demons to overcome and makes many enemies. Does his character become transformed the way a good hero should? Perhaps not. Ironically, his refusal to change may be the key to his heroism. Maybe this is a tale about a British society that refuses to transform as much as it is a tale about a hero who shouldn't need to. I give Turing's heroism 4 Heroes out of 5.
Turing is surrounded by villains, including his own people whom he saves. The villains here are two institutions: (1) the Nazis with which Britain is at war, and (2) the antiquated moral codes of the English society that ultimately slay Turing. The manufactured human obstacles within the British military are throwaway characters who are caricatures or tropes of typical obstructionist characters in police and military movies. I'll be generous and give this entire diverse array of villains a rating of 3 Villains out of 5.
Movie: Villain: Hero:
Scott, I'm a computer scientist and Turing is one of my personal heroes. He laid the foundation for formal computing theory (the Turing Machine). I am thrilled that a movie that celebrates his genius was given a proper Hollywood treatment and didn't shy away from Turing's homosexuality. However, I can't reconcile the historical inaccuracies that pepper this film. It's a complete fiction that merely borrows the essence of the truth. I would normally agree with your score of 4 Reels, but I'm knocking one off because I think the true story would have made an equally viable movie. I give The Imitation Game just 3 out of 5 Reels.
Turing is a tragic hero in that he saves the world from the Nazi scourge, only to be destroyed by the very people he saved. Benedict Cumberbatch delivers a wonderful performance and I agree that he should be nominated for an Oscar. There isn't much transformation here. There is a scene where Joan Clark lectures Turing on playing nice with his fellow mathematicians. After which Turing appears to make friends by sharing apples with his co-workers. But he overcomes obstacles that allow him to rise to the level of a true hero. I give this presentation of Turing 4 out of 5 Heroes.
As you point out, the villains here are pretty generic. Nazis are a pretty safe bet as a villain in any story. And Denniston gives Turing a ripping hard time. I can't summon more than 2 out of 5 Villains for this film.

John Fitzpatrick Group C Porsches : Ultimate Series
Ultimate E-Type: The Competition Cars
9781907085888Click to enlarge product image
DS (C) STOCK ARRIVING 9TH OF JULY
Author: Mark Cole
Year of Publiction: 01/06/19
John Fitzpatrick Racing was a highly successful privateer Porsche team in the glorious early years of Group C sportscar racing, first with 956s, then 962s. From 1983 to 1986, Fitzpatrick's operation made 66 Group C entries in 44 races in the World Endurance Championship, the German Deutsche Rennsport-Meisterschaft and the American Can-Am, winning three times and taking another 11 podium positions. This book tells the story of this exciting team, its five Group C Porsches and what became of them, its crews, its drivers, its races and – above all – its charismatic owner, John Fitzpatrick, arguably the best British driver never to have raced in Formula 1.
• John Fitzpatrick's story: during an extraordinary 22 years behind the wheel, he was the youngest-ever winner of the British Saloon Car Championship and became one of Porsche's most garlanded champions.
• The birth of Group C: this new category rejuvenated sportscar racing when it was introduced in 1982 and heralded the development of the legendary Porsche 956.
• The 1983 season: the highlight was victory for Fitzpatrick and Derek Warwick in the Brands Hatch 1,000Kms, but there were podiums too in the 1,000Kms races at Spa and Imola – and a win in the Can-Am race at Elkhart Lake.
• The 1984 season: with Fitzpatrick now running a two-car team, the stand-out result was third place in the Le Mans 24 Hours for David Hobbs, Sarel van der Merwe and Philippe Streiff, while strong second places came at the Nürburgring and Mosport, and thirds in Britain at Silverstone and Brands Hatch.
• The 1985 season: loss of sponsorship necessitated a reduced programme, mainly with single-car entries, but Le Mans brought another fine finish with fourth place for Jo Gartner, David Hobbs and Guy Edwards.
• The 1986 season: Le Mans again provided the highlight with another fourth place, this time for Emilio de Villota, Fermín Velez and George Fouché.
• Numerous interviews with drivers and other team personnel bring colour and anecdotes to the story, with significant names including John Fitzpatrick himself and Porsche's Jürgen Barth, plus star drivers such as Derek Warwick, David Hobbs and Thierry Boutsen.
The author Mark Cole is a journalist who covered the FIA World Endurance Championship during the period in which John Fitzpatrick Racing competed. As well as reporting for Reuters, Ceefax, the Daily Express and Motor magazine, he interviewed, edited and scripted the video TV coverage of the series. His career also includes spells as club editor of Autosport magazine, press officer at Thruxton and Silverstone circuits, and press attaché for the FIA World Sports Car Championship. He has been a commentator on Eurosport TV for 28 years. His previous books have been about Brands Hatch, GT racing and the Ford GT40.

The Furneaux Group, incl Green Island
The Furneaux Group is a group of approximately 100 islands located at the eastern end of Bass Strait, between Victoria and Tasmania, Australia. The islands were named after British navigator Tobias Furneaux, who sighted the eastern side of these islands after leaving Adventure Bay in 1773 on his way to New Zealand to rejoin Captain James Cook.[1] Navigator Matthew Flinders was the first Westerner to explore the Furneaux Islands group in the Francis in 1798, and later that year in the Norfolk.[2]
The largest islands in the group are Flinders Island, Cape Barren Island, and Clarke Island. The group contains five settlements: Killiecrankie, Emita, Lady Barron, Cape Barren Island, and Whitemark on Flinders Island, which serves as the administrative centre of the Flinders Council. There are also some small populated ranches on the remote islands.
The Furneaux Group of islands became the most intensively exploited sealing ground in Bass Strait after seals were discovered there in 1798.[3] A total of 29 islands in the Furneaux Group have been found to have some tangible link with sealing in the 19th century.[4]
The Aboriginal woman Dolly Dalrymple was born in the area.[5]
King Island, at the western end of Bass Strait, is not a part of the group.

The Big Green Island, part of the Big Green Group within the Furneaux Group, is a 122-hectare (300-acre) granite island with limestone and dolerite outcrops, located in Bass Strait west of Flinders Island, in Tasmania, in south-eastern Australia.[1] The island is partly contained within a nature reserve with the rest being used for farming;[2] and is part of the Chalky, Big Green and Badger Island Groups Important Bird Area.[3]
Besides the Big Green Island, other islands that comprise the Big Green Group include the Chalky, East Kangaroo, Isabella, Little Chalky and Mile islands.
Recorded breeding seabird and wader species are the little penguin, short-tailed shearwater, Pacific gull, silver gull, sooty oystercatcher, pied oystercatcher, black-faced cormorant and Caspian tern. Cape Barren geese also breed on the island. Reptiles present include the metallic skink and Bougainville's skink. Rats are common.[2]

The Kent Group
The Kent Group are a grouping of six granite islands located in Bass Strait, north-west of the Furneaux Group in Tasmania, Australia.[2] Collectively, the group is comprised within the Kent Group National Park.[1]
The islands were named Kent's Group by Matthew Flinders, "in honour of my friend captain William Kent, then commander of Supply" when Flinders passed them on 8 February 1798 in Francis (on her way to salvage Sydney Cove).[3]
The largest island in the group is Deal Island; the others, in order of descending size, are Erith Island, Dover Island, North East Isle, South West Isle and Judgement Rocks.

Captain Hector Axup and the "Linda"
British-born Captain Hector Axup arrived in Tasmania in 1876, married Mary Sophia Day (sister of photographer Thomas Nevin's wife Elizabeth Rachel Day) at the Wesleyan Chapel, Kangaroo Valley, Hobart in 1878, fathered an illustrious family, enjoyed a long career in maritime service, and died in Launceston, Tasmania in 1927. A few months before his death he published a "unique booklet" titled The Reminiscences of an 'Old Salt' of 83 Years by H. C. Axup (Launceston, ca. 1926) with this photo of himself on the front cover:

Captain Hector Axup was appointed by the Marine Board to the post of senior assistant at "Kent's Group" as the islands were called, in June 1885 (Hobart Mercury 11 June 1885). But in 1887 his dismissal was recommended by the Marine Board service on several counts: "leaving his station without permission"; language and conduct "most disrespectful and irritating, tending to subvert discipline on the station."(Hobart Mercury July 1887).
HOBART MARINE BOARD
BOARD OF ENQUIRY.
The MASTER WARDEN brought up the report of the sub-committee appointed to investigate charges made against Assistants Axup and Herbert as follows :
"Your committee, having attentively perused the numerous documents connected with these two cases have arrived at the following conclusions :-
"1. With regard to Assistant Herbert they find that, having left his station with-out permission, his conduct is highly reprehensible, and recommend that his services be dispensed with ; also that his pay be continued to the end of June, from which the passage money of himself and his wife be deducted."
"2. With regard to Assistant Axup, your committee find him guilty of a breach of the regulations in leaving his station without permission from the head keeper. They also find his language and conduct to have been most disrespectful and irritating, tending to subvert discipline on the station."
"They therefore recommend that he be dismissed from the service. His agent having received his pay up to the end of May, and the passage of himself, wife, and family having been paid by the board, the committee cannot recommend that any further remuneration should be made to him."
"They also suggest that, as there have been many changes among the subordinates at Kent's Group Station during the last few years, the head keeper should-be removed to another charge nearer Hobart at an early opportunity."
Captain Axup's dismissal from service
Mercury (Hobart, Tas. : 1860 – 1954), Saturday 16 July 1887, page 1
Within months Captain Axup was back at sea. He took command of the Linda fresh off the stocks at Dog Island, Bass Strait , trading between the Kent and Furneaux islands and Launceston. In 1888 he submitted an account of the history and management of Green Island by its inhabitants in the Furneaux Group to the Launceston Examiner (see transcript below). In March 1889 he was stationed back at Low Head Pilot Station (Tamar River, Georgetown, Tasmania) where his daughter Patience Ella Mary Axup was born (b.1889 – d.1913), the fourth of five children born to his wife Mary Sophia Day and the third born at Georgetown. By 1900 he was once more at sea trading up the NSW coast to the south island of New Zealand as chief mate on the barque Acacia.

Ketch Linda Abandoned
The auxiliary ketch Linda, belonging to A. V. Holyman and Sons Ltd., was extensively damaged when she was carried three miles down the Tamar by the recent floods and sunk. After many attempts the vessel was raised and placed in dry dock on Wednesday last. This permitted a thorough examination to be made yesterday, with the result that her owners decided not to repair her for trade again, but to abandon her. Arrangements will be made as soon as possible for a vessel to take her place in the Launceston, St. Helens and Straits Islands service. The Linda was one of the oldest coastal vessels trading to the port. She was built at Dog Island, Bass Strait, of oak grown on the island, in 1887 by the late Mr. J. Willett for the late Mr. Robert Gardner, of Launceston, who had a boiler and engines installed. She traded between Launceston and the Straits Islands for many years, and for a time was in charge of the late Captain H. C. Axup. Some years ago she was purchased by Messrs. Holyman mid Sons, who discarded the steam boiler and engines, and installed an oil engine. They employed her carrying cargo to the outlying Islands of the straits, also to Woolnorth and Robins Islands, in the north-west, and to St. Helens.

Captain Hector Axup 's account of Green Island
A PRODUCTIVE ISLAND. (1888, October 19). Launceston Examiner (Tas. : 1842 – 1899), p. 3.
Link: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article38322506 (extract above)
A PRODUCTIVE ISLAND. Captain H. C. Axup, of the steamer Linda, has furnished the following interesting account of Green Island :-
" In compliance with a request to furnish any information in my power concerning the island to which the S. S. Linda is a regular trader, I the more cheerfully comply from a firm conviction that the lovely archipelago known as the Furneaux Group, and others adjacent, all dependencies of Tasmania, are destined to become important in the not distant future, and it seems lamentable that so little is known by the general public of their general attributes, including the genial climate, health-giving properties, and power of production. To commence with, the island most recently visited, viz., Green Island – aptly named, its verdant slope forming a conspicuous landmark for mariners. It lies in lat. 40'11 south, and 147-59 east long.; in length about one mile and a half, by half a mile wide; its highest summit about 50ft above sea level; area, 350 acres. It is a remarkable island in more ways than one. Formerly a rabbit warren and mutton bird rookery (which perhaps accounts for its rich soil), it has gained a well-earned notoriety under the able management of the present proprietress (of whom more anon) for its extraordinary sheep-fattening properties. Yet this seemed an apparent paradox, for until a comparatively recent date not a blade of grass was visible, although it always bore the palm for the fattest sheep. Many interested in sheep farming paid it a visit for the purpose of solving the mystery. Upon questioning the lady above referred to (who by the way is French, and a devout Roman Catholic) as to what the animals fed on she replied, with the proverbial French gesture, that 'God was good to give her sheep the instinct and feet which enabled them to dig for their food.' They certainly thrive remarkably well upon whatever they dig up. One time she only kept a limited number, about 400, and these were all pets. To each of them she gave a French name; and each answered to it when called. About eight years since, one memorable morning, she was almost as much astounded as Robinson Crusoe at the 'naked footprint' to observe a narrow ridge of green grass close to the water's edge, which has gradually extended until now it covers the whole of the island, embracing several varieties, but chiefly barley grass. This enabled her to augment the number to a thousand, all in excellent condition, and considered by a good authority to be a very large number per acre. However, the pets are a thing of the past, and I presume the great increase in numbers has exhausted the good lady's stock of French names. But to return to the proprietress, whose career has rendered her not the least interesting feature of the island domain. The widow of a captain and owner of a smart bark which years ago traded between Australia and Mauritius, she was at one time well known in several of the seaport towns of Australia. Her stately figure rendered her conspicuous, and she was invariably accompanied with a pure bred Spanish poodle, and a black servant. From a life of almost oriental ease, she was left through the death of her husband to face the stern realities of the battle of life. She settled on what was then a barren and lonely isle, where with an adopted daughter, and no external aid, these two lone women commenced their hermit mode of existence. It would require the pen of a Dickens to do justice to the indomitable pluck and perseverance they displayed, and the massive stonewall fences which traverse the island in various directions are silent, yet speaking monuments of their untiring industry. The years have sped on each, at its close showing a marked improvement in the circumstances of the two recluses until now prosperity has rewarded their efforts. What was once a bleak and barren isle has been converted into a lovely arcadian abode. In conclusion I may add that the liberality of the lady of Green Island is proverbial, and many of the half castes on the adjacent lands will miss her benevolent aid when she, in course of time, shall be removed from amongst them.

Another account contemporaneous with Captain Hector Axup's trading voyages to Green Island is by A. J. Campbell observed while on the Field Naturalists' Club of Victoria, Scientific Expedition to Kent Group Islands, 1890:
SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATIONS OF BASS STRAITS ISLANDS
INTERESTING TRIP TO THE FURNEAUX GROUP
(By A Special Correspondent)
The Field Naturalist Club of Victoria first commenced a series of scientific expeditions to the islands in Bass Straits during November, 1887, when the Government of the day were good enough to allow the steamer Lady Lock to convey a party of 26 members (with Mr. A. J Campbell as leader to King Island).
Green Island, which is about two miles long, is covered by Mrs Robinson. Ere we have reached her garden gate with genuine hospitality and with uplifted hands she exclaims, 'Welcome ! welcome!' and we receive much attention and comfortable 'shake downs' for the night. We glean from Mrs Robinson some useful information in reference to the islands. She has resided upon Green Island for 27 years. During that period she and her people have killed no fewer than 900 snakes, about half that number being despatched during the first three or four years. Now instead of 900 venomous reptiles, 900 sheep graze upon the inlet.

One of the most recent accounts of the lady of Green Island in Captain Axup's story who was known as "Granny Robinson" in later years is from S. N. Brennan's PhD thesis (2002) : –
Brennan, SN 2002 , 'Island women : an oral history, 1910-1960',
PhD thesis, University of Tasmania.
Link: https://eprints.utas.edu.au/19131/1/whole_BrennanSherylNilma2002_thesis.pdf
Pages 51-54:
Among the first Europeans to take up land after 1861 were the Holt brothers, Thomas Barrett, Henry Robinson, Elizabeth Davis (Robinson), Jules Virieux, Alexander Ross and the Davey and Maclaine families. 52
Early settlers tended to try to spread their holdings over several islands. For example, in 1883, Henry Robinson – brother to Maria Allen, had leasehold land on Tin Kettle, Woody, Chappell and Flinders Islands. The Barrett family, by the same time, had part leased and part purchased Little Green Island, leased Long Island, part of Babel and 50 acres of Chappell Island. A decade later they also had freehold land on Flinders Island.53
[Page 52 – paragraphs and footnotes 54 and 55 ellipted here]
Generally nineteenth and early twentieth century settlers were of English/Scots descent with a few of Irish origin. They came via Tasmania or mainland Australia or directly from England, Scotland or Ireland. The population was, therefore, made up either of people of Anglo-Celtic or mixed Anglo-Celtic/ Aboriginal descent. One notable exception was the Virieux family who came from Mauritius. While there is generally little detailed information about European woman living in Bass Strait in the nineteenth century, the one notable exception is Mrs Elisabeth Virieux, three times married and ancestor to many present day island residents. Her extraordinary life made her a Bass Strait legend.
A brief examination of Elisabeth Virieux's life in the Furneaux Islands reveals that women could and did settle islands by themselves. To avoid confusion, her third husband's name — Robinson — the name she is most commonly remembered by, will be used throughout the following account.
Mrs Robinson was born Elisabeth Matilda Perrin in Mauritius in 1824. She had a son, Jules Virieux, in Mauritius around 1840. Mrs Robinson was said to be the wife of a Captain Virieux but, according to Guiler and Guiler, no record has been located of the marriage or of a Captain Virieux in Lloyd's Registers for the period.56
She met Captain James Davis in the 1840s and for some time travelled with him on his ship trading in Africa and Australia. In 1854 Captain Davis was appointed lighthouse keeper of the Goose Island lighthouse and so the couple arrived in the islands. Mrs Robinson's two children, Jules and her adopted daughter Marie Antoinette (always known as Jane), came with them. Jane's origin is uncertain. The most widely accepted story is that Mrs Robinson adopted her during her travels as the wife of Captain Davis. It is also commonly thought that she may have been the child of Mrs Robinson's sister. As well, the suggestion that she might have been Mrs Robinson's natural daughter has been made and, while less readily accepted by her descendants, it has not been refuted.57
Captain Davis died in 1864, which meant that Elisabeth and her children had to leave Goose Island. In 1865 she bought land on Green Island and moved there with her daughter Jane. The two women built a house for themselves, erected fences and stockyards, and planted gardens. As a young woman, Helen Cooper, Jane's granddaughter, was told that initially when the two women moved to Green Island they squatted in a roofed rock shelter. 58. Jane and Elisabeth did a lot of the heavy work on the island. They had a liking for building stone walls, erecting several over the island. This may have also been a way of ridding the fields of stones. In 1879 Elisabeth married Henry Robinson, son of George Augustus Robinson and brother to Maria Allen. 59
Prior to her marriage to Henry Robinson, Elisabeth, with the help of Jane, had established a productive farm on Green Island. The two women purchased two boats that Jane could handle and that traded with Launceston. After her marriage to Henry Robinson, Mrs Robinson became known by people in the islands as 'Granny Robinson' and was famous for her hospitality. A superb cook, she was known to send out her two boats collecting all the young people from the surrounding islands for parties that lasted two to three days. Throughout her life she fostered a large number of children. 60

Convicts from Mauritius
A number of immigrants from Mauritius arrived in Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) in the 1840s as prisoners. For example, Jerome Delphin and and his brother Augustus Delphin were both ex-apprentices of Joson Virieux, who may have been the elusive Captain Virieux, Elizabeth Robinson's first husband. Augustus and Jerome Delphin were servants who stole 'une malle' [a trunk] and the objects locked in it including money belonging to Sieur Antoine Henry Peyronnet, ecclesiastical. They were tried in Grandport, Mauritius on 8th September 1843 and sentenced to 10 and 7 years respectively. They arrived in Van Diemen's Land per the Ocean Queen from Hong Kong on 3rd April 1844. Being servant class in that period it is extremely likely that they were of (black) African heritage, according to this website: read more about these two Delphin brothers here.

Nicolas-Jacques Conté, né le  à Saint-Céneri-près-Sées en Normandie et mort le  à Paris, est un peintre, physicien et chimiste français, connu pour avoir inventé le crayon tel qu'on le connaît encore de nos jours, constitué d'une mine de graphite et d'argile insérée dans un corps en bois de cèdre.

Biographie

Jeune dessinateur et peintre
Ayant perdu son père, jardinier, alors qu'il était encore en bas âge, le jeune Conté fut élevé par sa mère. Il révéla très jeune son esprit d'invention et son goût pour la mécanique et la peinture.

Dessinant sans autre crayon qu'un charbon de bois et peignant avec des couleurs qu'il fabriquait lui-même, il fut encouragé par l'évêque de Séez Duplessis d'Argentré et la supérieure de l'hôpital de Sées,  de Prémesle, à peindre divers sujets religieux pour cet établissement. Il entreprit donc l'exécution des peintures qui décorent encore aujourd'hui l'église de l'hôpital, puis se livra à l'art du portrait. Il faisait vite et ressemblant : c'était tout ce que demandait la clientèle locale, que le coloris des tableaux charmait de sa vivacité tranchante.

Pendant ce temps, Conté continuait ses études de physique et surtout de mécanique.

Succès et études à Paris
Il se fit bientôt une réputation dans toute la province, par la ressemblance de ses portraits et la fraîcheur des coloris, de sorte que l'intendant d'Alençon désira le connaître et le détermina à aller perfectionner son talent à Paris. Vers cette époque, Conté, s'étant lié d'amitié avec un seigneur des environs d'Alençon, entreprit de lever le plan d'une vaste propriété, pour lequel il imagina un instrument très simple qui facilitait ce travail de cadastre.

Dans le même temps, Conté fit exécuter une machine hydraulique qui fut soumise à l'Académie des sciences et déposée dans le cabinet de physique de Jacques Charles, qui l'employait habituellement dans ses démonstrations.

Bien qu'issue d'une des premières familles de Normandie par ses parents maternels, sa femme n'était pas plus riche que lui, et tous deux se trouvaient privés de fortune. Ce fut, pour Conté, un motif supplémentaire pour persévérer dans sa double carrière. Encouragé par les premiers personnages de sa province, entre autres l'intendant d'Alençon, Conté partit tenter sa chance à Paris. Dans la capitale, son temps se trouva partagé entre les commandes de portraits qu'il recevait et les études qu'il voulait continuer. Il faisait des portraits et suivait pour lui-même des cours d'anatomie, de chimie, de physique et de mécanique.

Une commission de savants, durant la Révolution
Avec la Révolution, la France fut attaquée de toutes parts et le Comité de salut public songea à l'utilisation des aérostats dans les opérations militaires. Conté anima une commission de savants nommée à cet effet.

Chimie, physique, fabrication d'aérostats
Il fut, avec plusieurs autres savants, chargé de développer l'expérience de la décomposition de l'eau par le moyen du fer. On voulait substituer ce procédé à l'emploi de l'acide sulfurique, qui paraissait trop coûteux. Il répéta en plus grand ses expériences à Meudon, où on lui confia la direction de l'école d'aérostation qui s'y établissait. Conté eut sous ses ordres un rassemblement confus de jeunes gens pris dans toutes les professions, sans aucune teinture de chimie, de dessin, ni de mathématiques, appelés à créer une technique entièrement nouvelle.

Conté dut aborder les éléments des différentes sciences, car ce nouvel enseignement devait tout embrasser : chimie, physique, mécanique. Donnant à la fois des leçons théoriques et pratiques, Conté faisait exécuter par les mains de ses élèves les modèles qu'il donnait, les instruments qu'il imaginait, passant ses nuits à préparer les dessins qui servaient à ses leçons ou bien à faire des expériences variées, parfois dangereuses.

Il entreprit diverses expériences pour reconnaître l'altération que le gaz hydrogène pouvait produire sur l'enveloppe des aérostats. Il s'agissait de préparer les gaz avec plus d'économie, de rapidité, en plus grande abondance, de rendre les enveloppes plus solides, plus imperméables, les vernis plus souples, moins sujets à s'oxyder.

Une nuit, Conté avait préparé plusieurs matras remplis de différents gaz et des morceaux de taffetas enduits de compositions diverses. S'étant fait donner de la lumière à l'extrémité de son laboratoire, il s'apprêtait à enlever le bouchon d'un des matras pour essayer le gaz qu'il renfermait. Un courant d'air se forma, qui entraîna le gaz hydrogène sur la flamme de la lampe. Il s'ensuivit une détonation terrible qui brisa tous les instruments de verre, dont les éclats atteignirent Conté sur toutes les parties de son corps. Cet accident lui coûta son œil gauche, et le gouvernement lui conféra le grade de chef de brigade d'infanterie, avec le commandement en chef de tous les corps d'aérostiers.

À la même époque se fit sentir la nécessité de former un dépôt des instruments et machines relatifs aux arts et métiers, disséminés sur plusieurs points de la capitale. Le Conservatoire national des arts et métiers de la rue Saint-Martin fut établi et Conté en fut nommé membre, avec Vandermonde et Le Roy, qui en furent les premiers fondateurs et y précédèrent Joseph Montgolfier.

Fabrication de crayons
À cette époque, la pénurie des crayons importés de l'étranger se faisait sentir. Les crayons utilisaient, depuis le , des mines de plombagine, un graphite très pur extrait à Borrowdale, dans le comté de Cumberland, en Angleterre. Avec le blocus économique auquel la France était soumise en 1794, l'agence des mines, consultée par le gouvernement, chargea Conté d'inventer une mine de crayon ne nécessitant plus de matières premières d'origine étrangère. Après quelques jours de recherches, Conté eut l'idée de mélanger du graphite avec de l'argile, de cuire le tout et de l'enfermer entre deux demi-cylindres de bois de cèdre.

En cela, comme dans toutes ses autres inventions, Conté ne pensa jamais à ses intérêts personnels. Il fallut toute l'insistance de ses amis pour le déterminer à prendre, en 1795, le privilège de la fabrication des crayons. Ayant obtenu un brevet pour son invention le , il éleva, en moins d'une année, la manufacture de crayons qui porte son nom. Il s'occupait d'y adjoindre un nouveau genre de couleurs inaltérables, lorsqu'il fut appelé, avec beaucoup d'autres savants, à l'expédition d'Égypte.

Industrie de campagne durant l'expédition d'Égypte

Aérostation, télégraphe, industrie militaire
Conté part pour l'Égypte en qualité de chef de brigade du corps des aérostiers qu'il avait commandé à Meudon. À peine arrivé à Alexandrie, menacée par les Anglais et dénuée de tous moyens de défense, Conté se livre aux travaux les plus urgents pour le service de cette place presque dénuée de tout ce qui était nécessaire à l'armée. Il propose une ligne télégraphique pour signaler à la flotte française stationnée à Aboukir l'apparition de la flotte anglaise. Mais cet avis fut négligé et la flotte n'eut connaissance de l'arrivée des Anglais qu'au moment où il fallut se battre. Après le combat, les Anglais menaçaient Alexandrie, qu'on pouvait enlever d'un coup de main. Conté construisit alors en deux jours, au Phare, des fourneaux à boulets rouges avec les moyens les plus simples. Une fois les vaisseaux anglais éloignés des côtes, les Français eurent le temps de fortifier la place.

Conté est appelé peu après au Caire à la tête d'une armée d'ouvriers, en partie formés par ses soins, mais le matériel d'outils et de machines envoyé de France pour eux avait disparu : le naufrage d'un vaisseau et le pillage du Caire lors de la révolte des Égyptiens avaient anéanti les caisses et leur contenu. Il fallut donc tout créer, jusqu'aux outils eux-mêmes. Conté forma aussitôt des ateliers, fit plusieurs moulins à vent, dans un pays où l'on ne connaissait rien de semblable, des machines pour la monnaie du Caire, pour l'imprimerie orientale, pour la fabrication de la poudre. Il créa diverses fonderies : on faisait dans ses ateliers des canons, de l'acier, du carton, des toiles vernissées, etc.

En moins d'un an, Conté transporta ainsi toutes les techniques européennes dans une terre qui ignorait jusqu'alors ces technologies. Napoléon le décrit ainsi : «…Conté, qui était à la tête des aéronautes, homme universel, ayant le goût, les connaissances et le génie des arts, précieux dans un pays éloigné, bon à tout, capable de créer les arts de la France au milieu des déserts de l'Arabie ». Conté, qui voulait que les habitants profitent aussi de ses travaux, visitait les manufactures du pays, proposant avec simplicité des améliorations faciles. Aussi vit-on en peu de temps s'introduire des procédés nouveaux dans les fabriques égyptiennes. Conté communiquait ses observations à l'Institut d'Égypte, étudiait les divers métiers, dessinant les ateliers, les instruments et les machines. Il s'était constitué un immense portefeuille, où son pinceau retraçait une foule de travaux, de scènes intérieures, de costumes du pays inconnus aux autres voyageurs. Cette collection de dessins a été gravée en partie pour le grand ouvrage publié par la commission d'Égypte.

Instruments de campagne
Les ingénieurs, les chirurgiens manquaient d'instruments de mathématiques, de chirurgie. Conté fit fabriquer des sabres pour l'armée, des ustensiles pour les hôpitaux, des instruments de mathématiques pour les ingénieurs, des lunettes pour les astronomes, des crayons pour les dessinateurs, des loupes pour les naturalistes. Depuis les machines les plus compliquées et les plus essentielles, comme les moulins à blé, jusqu'à des tambours et des trompettes, tout se fabriquait dans son établissement. Il perfectionna également la fabrication du pain.

Conté appliqua les nouvelles techniques : par exemple, un nouveau télégraphe. Les généraux voulurent, à l'occasion des fêtes annuelles, donner aux Égyptiens un spectacle frappant, et il fit des montgolfières. On ne saurait détailler tous les travaux exécutés par Conté en Égypte. Pour l'embarquement de l'armée qui allait repasser en France, il avait projeté et commencé la fabrication de citernes en plomb. Mais la bataille d'Héliopolis le rappela au Caire. L'habillement de l'armée avait épuisé tous les magasins du pays, et l'état de blocus empêchait le commerce d'y apporter des draps. Conté conçut le projet de fabriquer du drap pour l'armée entière et la consommation des habitants.

Les trois généraux qui commandèrent successivement en Égypte s'étaient empressés de rendre justice à celui qui, selon les expressions du général Menou, « avait nourri et habillé l'armée ». Le ministre de l'intérieur lui écrivait : . Le retour de l'expédition le força à abandonner tout ce qu'il avait exécuté en Égypte, et ce ne fut pas sans regrets que Conté renonça à toutes ses activités.

Retour à Paris : le Conservatoire

De retour en France, Conté est chargé par le gouvernement de diriger la réalisation du grand ouvrage que la commission d'Égypte, nouvellement créée, allait publier. Le nombre des monuments et des objets d'art qu'il fallait représenter était immense. Le seul détail de la gravure, avec les procédés ordinaires, aurait exigé des dépenses énormes et demandé un grand nombre d'années.

Conté imagina une machine à graver par laquelle tout le travail des fonds, des ciels et des masses des monuments s'effectuait avec facilité et rapidité. L'utilité de cette machine n'a pas été limitée à l'ouvrage sur l'Égypte : d'autres artistes l'introduisirent dans leurs ateliers.

Reprenant son rang au Conservatoire, il devint l'un des fondateurs de la Société d'encouragement pour l'industrie nationale, qui rendait de grands services à l'industrie. Membre du bureau consultatif des arts et manufactures au ministère de l'Intérieur, il se faisait présenter toutes les inventions nouvelles, du point de vue des intérêts de l'administration.

Conté se retrouvait au milieu des siens, mais perdit rapidement son frère, puis son épouse. Son activité, dès lors, se ralentit.  Sa profonde douleur et l'altération de sa santé n'arrêtèrent pas pour autant son courage. Conté fut l'un des premiers membres de la Légion d'honneur, mais sa santé continua de décliner et il mourut dans sa cinquante et unième année.

Charles Verrier, son secrétaire et son ami, ainsi que Biot et Gérando ont rendu hommage à la mémoire de Conté et retracé son action pour la France. La ville de Sées lui a élevé une statue en bronze, œuvre de Jules Droz, sur la place du Parquet le . Seul le buste est sauvé par une diligence du maire de Sées, Charles Forget, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale alors que l'occupant emportait la statue pour être fondue, et fut réinstallé, sous le mandat du maire Francis Bouquerel, au milieu de la place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville, en . Le piédestal d'origine de la statue, en granit, a été déposé au stade de football de Sées (en face du square François Mitterrand et à proximité de la gare SNCF).

La marque « Conté » de nos jours
L'entreprise des crayons Conté a été achetée en 1979 par le groupe Bic, qui est l'actuel propriétaire de la marque, devenu, en 2004, « Bic Kids ».
On trouve à Paris la rue Conté dans le voisinage du Conservatoire et à Chartres ; le collège de Sées porte son nom : Nicolas-Jacques-Conté.
À Régny (Loire), où l'usine Conté était installée de 1856 à 1986, une rue et le collège de la commune portent le nom de Nicolas Conté.

Everyone has their own reasons why they have even gained weight in the first place. With keeping that in mind it should easily be noted that just as your body has a reason for gaining weight, it should also have a good reason to burn it off. As previously stated, there are virtually an unlimited amount of ways to bring cardio into your world. And the main way to actually do it, and to stick with it, is to simply find something that you truly enjoy doing that also gets your body moving! If you simply throw on a cardio DVD each morning and force yourself through 30 minutes of something you completely hate, chances are you are not going to stick with, and those pounds are going to stick to you! Find something you love, and move it!
If there is any part of your body that you have found that may have hindered your ability or desire to successfully incorporate cardio into your daily workout, there is still hope for you! Cardio can be a super intimidating word if you are extremely overweight, have a physical condition that limits your mobility, or are even just brand new to exercise. Don't fret, and certainly don't ever let fear or intimidation block your road to success! Low impact cardio can easily fit into anyone's lifestyle. From walking to light jogging, hitting a stationary bike, or even swimming laps at your local pool; all are excellent ways to lose weight fast by way of taking advantage of a low impact cardio exercise routine.
While of course exercise is so vitally important to successful, long term weight loss, its partner in helping you achieve your goals is diet! That age old saying of "you are what you eat" has never been more true in this fast-paced world that we live in. And all too often we find ourselves reaching for what is the most convenient and least healthy! Be sure to pay attention to what you are fueling your body with (or lack thereof) and always ensure that you are drinking ample amounts of water to aid your body in shedding those pounds even faster!
With the proper, positive mindset and some devout dedication, successful long-term weight loss can easily be taken advantage of by virtually anyone! Be patient with yourself as change never happens overnight, if you find yourself slipping up and missing a workout or grabbing a burger when you can't choose a salad, don't be hard on yourself! Just be sure to get right back with the program. And remember to always speak with your healthcare physician about your diet and weight loss desires prior to jumping on board of any weight loss regime.

Global carbon pollution on the rise
Global carbon pollution rises after three straight flat years
Nov. 13, 2017 7:45 a.m.
Global carbon pollution rose this year after three straight years when levels of the heat-trapping gas didn't go up at all, scientists reported Monday.
Preliminary figures project that worldwide carbon dioxide emissions are up about 2 per cent this year, according to an international team of scientists. Most of the increase came from China.
The report by the Global Carbon Project team dashed hopes that emissions from the burning of coal, oil and gas had peaked.
"We hoped that we had turned the corner… We haven't," said study co-author Rob Jackson, an Earth scientist at Stanford University.

Carbon dioxide emissions rose steadily and slowly starting in the late 1880s with the Industrial Revolution, then took off dramatically in the 1950s. In the last three years, levels had stabilized at about 40 billion tons of carbon dioxide (36.2 billion metric tons).
Estimates for 2017 put it at about 40.8 billion tons (37 billion metric tons). Sixty years ago , the world spewed only 9.2 billion tons (8.3 billion metric tons).
"It's a bit staggering," said co-author Ralph Keeling, a Scripps Institution of Oceanography scientist, noting in an email that levels have increased fourfold since he was born in the 1950s. "We race headlong into the unknown."
Man-made carbon dioxide is causing more than 90 per cent of global warming since 1950, U.S. scientists reported this month.
This year's increase was mostly spurred by a 3.5 per cent jump in Chinese carbon pollution, said study co-author Glen Peters, a Norwegian scientist. Declines in the United States (0.4 per cent) and Europe (0.2 per cent) were smaller than previous years. India, the No. 3 carbon polluting nation, went up 2 per cent.
Related: Canada's coastal communities in race against time
The 2017 estimate comes to on average of 2.57 million pounds (1.16 million kilograms) of carbon dioxide spewing into the air every second.
The study was published Monday and is being presented in Bonn, Germany, during climate talks where leaders are trying to come up with rules for the 2015 Paris deal. The goal is to limit temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) since preindustrial times, but it's already warmed half that amount.
"It was tough enough and if this paper is indicative of long-term trends, it just got tougher," said Princeton University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer, who wasn't part of the team of 76 scientists who wrote the report.
While he called the study authoritative, Pennsylvania State University climate scientist Michael Mann said he sees no need to do figures for 2017 that are not complete, saying it may be "jumping the gun a bit."
Jackson said the team — which produces these reports every year in November — has confidence in its 2017 report because it is based on real data from top polluting nations through the summer and in some cases through October. Plus, he said past estimates have been correct within a couple tenths of a percentage point.
The top five carbon polluting countries are China, the United States, India, Russia and Japan. Europe taken as a whole, would rank third.

A resume is actually a one- to two-page document summarizing your job objectives, professional experiences and achievements, and academic background. The heading on the resume should contain your company name, address and call information. Your body in the resume needs to be broken into the subsequent sections: career objective, profile/summary, professional experience, achievements, scholastics, and references. Your employment objective really should be brief, up to 2 sentences; it should give your potential employers a sense of how you intend to make progress with your professional life. A compressed profile or a survey should discuss your identiity and the way your skills and experience best apply towards the job you are interested in. The summary, together with other elements of your resume, shouldn't contain private information that discloses ethnicity, sexual orientation, marital status, age, living situations, or another personal data which is not directly related to your career. Personal profile/summary should only contain several well-written sentences that convey what you can provide the table in terms of the specific job. Use this to get the employer's attention, but don't overload in trying being creative – stay professional. Your experience listing includes information on one to five jobs you've held, beginning your current or last job, and listing previous positions in chronological order.
The listing should range from the date range of one's employment, name of nokia's or person(s) you been employed for, and the city and state the location where the you job information is located (full address of employment isn't necessary). List your title and your main responsibilities, with focus on duties that are applicable to the sort of work you happen to be seeking. Your education will include college, graduate and post-graduate work, in addition to any courses or professional certifications that are highly relevant to your career development. Achievements, volunteer positions, publications and interests should just be listed whenever they apply for your professional work experience References ought to be listed if requested; best practices suggest never to list generic statements about references being available upon request because understood.
Inside competitive, internet-driven whole world of job searches, your resume represents you to definitely potential employers. It serves because your tool to attract attention, get an interview and/or get yourself a job. A great resume could make you stay ahead of other candidates by showcasing your aptitudes. Bring to mind your resume because your sales hype – you should sell yourself in perfect way. Invest a serious amounts of research into growing your resume. You need to make sure that your resume is error free – double look at the grammar and spelling, ensure that all company and school names and cities are spelled properly. A resume containing errors, regardless how minimal, will give your potential employer the idea that you don't need focus detail, that you do not invest time to ensure your work, and that you are a poor communicator. Additionally, maintain your resume is formatted well. Stick with basic fonts, like Arial and Times New Roman. Keep your font size and color standard; don't make use of large fonts or multi-colors in your resume. Don't exaggerate with bold, italicized, or large-cap text. Maintain the format consistent and make certain that the resume looks great when viewed online along with when printed out. Maintain the resume to a couple pages – any other pages give the feeling that either you don't learn how to concisely summarize your education and experience, or that you're listing unnecessary information for the sake of taking on space. If you have not written a resume before, reference books, Internet resources or seek help from a professional resume writing service. A well-written resume can easily make a difference between being stuck at your current job and having interviews to land the work within your dreams.
The hardest and time intensive part of any resume is definitely the directory of your experience, no matter the level you are in in the professional career. The key is to contemplate your job objective and prioritize your job based on your goals.
Your professional experience shouldn't only showcase those actions you have carried out as part of your previous jobs, but should demonstrate your qualifications in how motivates employers to want to find out more. Naturally, we are making reference to results, any tangible, measurable items that are impacting to the underside line. Let your employers know that your particular project came within budget, that you simply exceeded the timeline, you acquired X number of recent customers, or that you increased sales using a double-digit percentage. Employers can wrap the male mind around numbers, as they are centered on them daily. You need to let your potential employer know that you could think just as they are doing so you take results into serious thought for your perform your job on day-to-day basis.
To get going with work history, begin each description with an influence word, including managed, developed, communicated, etc. Do your homework and only use the facility words and phrases that are appropriate for the industry. Ensure that the statements you list first under your livelihood responsibilities quantify your achievements – don't be afraid to list sales figured, customer acquisition rates, budget and timeline successes, or some other figures that assist put your responsibilities inside of a context in the business/field you are working in. Be specific. To get your statements are truly quantified is in the event you include numbers. Proclaiming that you acquired clients is quite a bit different from saying that you increased the shopper database by 10%. As pointed out, this can be the most critical component of listing your job descriptions on your own resume. Your employer really wants to know not merely what you did, but how well that you did it. Also, these statements must be aligned along with your career objective you included towards the top of the resume. If you wish to get work in project management, letting your employer know you managed a team of 20 people and the entire results you achieved will effectively highlight your qualifications. You will need to quantify your task description statements on your own resume; however, as a thing of caution, don't quantify all statements, just one or two which are most essential to your livelihood and are also goal driven. This shows your employer that you simply think when it comes to exceeding your goals. All subsequent descriptions of this responsibilities should secure the first one or two items for your list.
For a final test, put yourself in the footwear of your respective employer. Cross-check the job description and make sure that you address the qualifications required for the job with the content on the resume. Let your potential employer know you've got what they are searhing for, and you'll be sure to manufacture a great impression.

The City of Sault Ste. Marie advises residents that the labour disruption scheduled by Unifor Local 1359 (Paramedics) to take place effective February 28, 2018 at 12:01 a.m. has been delayed. There is no disruption to services at this time.
The City has put forth an application before the Ontario Labour Relations Board and has received a ruling that an Essential Service Agreement (ESA) must be in place and agreed upon by both parties prior to any work action. It is beneficial to both parties and especially the public that an ESA with clearly defined parameters be in place to assist in navigating through a potential disruption. A scheduled hearing in Toronto will take place on March 12, 2018 to better define the framework for such an agreement.
To prevent a labour disruption, the City believes that the most responsible course of action is to put its differences before an arbitrator and abide by the ruling, a request that has been formally asked of Unifor. The current agreement was arrived at through arbitration. Furthermore, contrary to reports, the City is and remains prepared to continue discussions at any time to resolve the remaining issues to avoid a labour disruption.
The City has provided an offer that is fair to its EMS employees and affordable to the citizens of Sault Ste. Marie putting its Paramedics in the middle of its comparator groups.
The City recognizes the important work of paramedics and will continue to negotiate an agreement in a responsible manner that is fair to employees and affordable to the citizens of Sault Ste. Marie.

I use this to keep up with my friends.. there were times that I posted some of my music on it. It helped with some of my advertising. It got my name known to a variety of people.


"Today, as yesterday, musicians, composers, cantors of liturgical chapels, organists and Church instrumentalists must feel the need for a serious and strict professional formation. They should mostly be conscious of the fact that not one of their creations or interpretations can escape the obligation of being an inspired work, adequate and watchful for aesthetic dignity, whereby it transforms itself into a prayer of adoration, when in the course of liturgical action, it expresses in sound the mystery of faith"
After the Missa Ressurrectionis for soprano solo a cappella (1994), a prayer of the soul in ecstasy facing the empty tomb, the Missa Redemptionis, for choir a cappella is a celebration of the Church, the mystical body of Christ, through the mystery of the redemption. It is based on free material, and its harmonies are mainly articulated on various heptatonic scales. The Latin text of the Roman Mass is treated in a syllabic style, in a manner that assures its intelligibilty and respects its natural rhythmic declamation.

The Light at the End of the Day by Eleanor Wasserberg (Review by Sharon Steinman)
The Light at the End of the Day was written by Eleanor Wasserberg. It is a historical fiction story that revolves around the Oderfeldt family.
Anna and Adam Oderfeldt have two daughters Karolina and Alicia. They are a wealthy family that hosts many dinner parties where they show off their stunning views of Krakow including the Wawel Castle. Alicia's birthday is coming up as her father's favourite child Adam arranges to have a painting commissioned of his daughter. Adam and Alicia go out for dinner to celebrate her birthday where they begin to feel the rising tensions of anti-semitism building in the city. Anti-Semitism continues to increase, and it begins to feel unsafe for the family in Krakow. Shortly after the painting is completed, the family decides to leave Krakow because it is dangerous for Jews to remain and many of their Jewish friends have already left. The family packs up their belongings and begins their journey to Lwow where they expect they will be safer. On that fateful day as they leave the city the family is stopped by the Germans, Adam is forcibly removed from the vehicle and the family is dispersed through the city. Anna continues the escape with their daughters to Adam's brother's home in Lwow hoping to meet up with him there. The books continue to describe the survival of Anna, her daughters, and Adam.
I really wanted to enjoy the book, but I struggled to do so as the story jumped around through different years and characters. I was unable to connect with the family or any one of the characters. I didn't develop compassion for any of them as they were extremely flawed and I didn't understand how they became that way. The description of the family's survival was not detailed enough and needed to be expanded and explored further. Characters went missing/died/or were omitted which was frustrating. If I had the opportunity to understand the family better, I would have had a stronger connection to the painting, which would have created a more meaningful story.
