Every year I went to race there I hoped for victory in my home country, and when I raced for Williams-Renault this dream was so close I could almost touch it. I passed Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna to take the lead in 1991, yet fate struck and I was forced to retire. My car failed me again as I led in ’92, seemingly en route to a comfortable victory, when my FW14B’s hydraulics went awry and I was relegated to fifth. Sadly, the podium always proved out of my grasp in Monza but I return every September to cheer on any Italians that might be on the grid. For Italian lovers of racing there is nothing better.” 4 © © 5 GP ITALY: CIRCUIT GUIDE TURN 6 VARIANTE DELLA KM/H:193 The Autodromo di Monza is the ultimate power ROGGIA GEAR:4 KM/H:133 circuit, and teams prepare their cars with wing GEAR:2 TURN 7 elements removed in order to reduce drag to KM/H:178 the minimum.

The Williams team has won at Monza six times, in 1986 and 1987 with Nelson Piquet in the Honda turbo powered FW11, the 1987 race with the active ride test version of that car, in 1991 with Nigel Mansell, and 1993 and 1994 with Damon Hill and Renault power and in 2001 with Juan Pablo Montoya and BMW. It has, therefore, been a successful hunting ground for me personally. There were many other opportunities which got away, usually due to technical reliability. Similar moments of success and failure have been experienced by the Scuderia, and this has a huge effect on the crowds. When they win the track is invaded and an enormous shield flag appears on the pit straight. The fans will be predominantly Ferrari supporters, and they will start leaving early if the Ferraris are not destined to win, such is the focus on ‘their’ team.

  • Ok I Have Absolutely No Knowledge of Aerodynamics but Here Are My Thoughts on the Fw 26 Starting from the Front and Working
    Williams BMW FW26 Technical Review by Craig Scarborough Image Credit:Scarborough Even though McLaren had run their new car in December testing, their decision not to formally launch the car gave the privilege to Williams BMW to put on their new suits (and boots) and be the first to present their car to the world's media. For several years Williams have produced evolutionary cars and with engine rule changes and car that by the seasons end in 2003 was as fast as any, little was expected to surprise on the new car. But this was wide of the mark as the cover was drawn from the car the sharp intake of breath from the audience reflected striking nose of the new car. Clearly Williams conventional, if independent school of aerodynamics has found a completely new solution. If the nose rightly takes the spotlight, other areas of the car remain conservative with some areas revised and not receiving the attention they perhaps deserve. 2004 Rules Aside from the timetable changes to the practice and qualifying sessions, there have been few technical changes for 2004. Of these the most far reaching has been the move to a single engine per weekend format. Under previous rules precautionary engine changes were over night or following a failure, resulting in up to a handful of engine being used per car over a race weekend. With most of the teams support the FIA suggested a single engine could be used to reduce costs, applying a "10 grid place" penalty to any car requiring an engine change over the weekend.

  • The Last Supper Seen Six Ways by Louis Inturrisi the New York Times, March 23, 1997
    1 Andrea del Castagno’s Last Supper, in a former convent refectory that is now a museum. The Last Supper Seen Six Ways By Louis Inturrisi The New York Times, March 23, 1997 When I was 9 years old, I painted the Last Supper. I did it on the dining room table at our home in Connecticut on Saturday afternoon while my mother ironed clothes and hummed along with the Texaco. Metropolitan Operative radio broadcast. It took me three months to paint the Last Supper, but when I finished and hung it on my mother's bedroom wall, she assured me .it looked just like Leonardo da Vinci's painting. It was supposed to. You can't go very wrong with a paint-by-numbers picture, and even though I didn't always stay within the lines and sometimes got the colors wrong, the experience left me with a profound respect for Leonardo's achievement and a lingering attachment to the genre. So last year, when the Florence Tourist Bureau published a list of frescoes of the Last Supper that are open to the public, I was immediately on their track. I had seen several of them, but never in sequence. During the Middle Ages the ultima cena—the final supper Christ shared with His disciples before His arrest and crucifixion—was part of any fresco cycle that told His life story. But in the 15th century the Last Supper began to appear independently, especially in the refectories, or dining halls, of the convents and monasteries of the religious orders founded during the Middle Ages.

  • 2021 Sacred Hear Nesletter
    Benedictine Monastery, 5 Mackerston Place, Largs KA30 8BY, SCOTLAND, Tel. 01475 687 320 [email protected] Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart June 2021 Dear Friends, When we were dead through sin, God brought us to life again in Christ, -because He loved us with so great a love. That He might reveal for all ages to come the immeasurable riches of his grace. - because He loved us with so great a love. (Responsory for the Office of Readings, The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus: Ephesians 2:5,4,7) The Solemnity of the Sacred Heart is a time of remembrance and celebration of the everlasting love of God in the Sacred Heart. The whole of the Church’s celebration from Easter to this feast has been the victory of the Sacred Heart. We celebrated the Paschal mystery of God’s redemptive love in Christ Jesus, when Love Incarnate gave Himself for us unto death, reconciling us to His Father and making us co-heirs with him; when His bride the Church, was born from His pierced Heart from which the Sacramental life of the Church flows; when by His resurrection, love triumphed over death; then He ascended into heaven to prepare a place for us to be with Him forever. He then sent us His Spirit of Love to be our teacher, guide and sanctifier, to make potent and fruitful in our souls His redemptive sacrifice; pouring upon us the streams of living water from His pierced Heart so that our hearts too will flow with that water. On the Octave of Easter the Sacred Heart enveloped His Church in the rays of His merciful Heart inviting us to meditate on His inexhaustible mercy, His greatest attribute.

  • The Age of Pleasure and Enlightenment European Art of the Eighteenth Century Increasingly Emphasized Civility, Elegance, Comfor
    The Age of Pleasure and Enlightenment European art of the eighteenth century increasingly emphasized civility, elegance, comfort, and informality. During the first half of the century, the Rococo style of art and decoration, characterized by lightness, grace, playfulness, and intimacy, spread throughout Europe. Painters turned to lighthearted subjects, including inventive pastoral landscapes, scenic vistas of popular tourist sites, and genre subjects—scenes of everyday life. Mythology became a vehicle for the expression of pleasure rather than a means of revealing hidden truths. Porcelain and silver makers designed exuberant fantasies for use or as pure decoration to complement newly remodeled interiors conducive to entertainment and pleasure. As the century progressed, artists increasingly adopted more serious subject matter, often taken from classical history, and a simpler, less decorative style. This was the Age of Enlightenment, when writers and philosophers came to believe that moral, intellectual, and social reform was possible through the acquisition of knowledge and the power of reason. The Grand Tour, a means of personal enlightenment and an essential element of an upper-class education, was symbolic of this age of reason. The installation highlights the museum’s rich collection of eighteenth-century paintings and decorative arts. It is organized around four themes: Myth and Religion, Patrons and Collectors, Everyday Life, and The Natural World. These themes are common to art from different cultures and eras, and reveal connections among the many ways artists have visually expressed their cultural, spiritual, political, material, and social values. Myth and Religion Mythological and religious stories have been the subject of visual art throughout time.

  • History of F1 – 1990S
    History of F1 – 1990s Welcome to Sidepodcast’s History of F1. So far, the development of the Formula 1 World Championships has been pretty much about the cars, with a few squabbles between drivers along the way. The 1990s saw some real star talent emerging, with personalities both loveable and not so much. The 1990s were a year of change, innovation, tragedy and triumph. Team Williams introduced the first car, designed by Patrick Head, to have a semi‐automatic gearbox and traction control, but reliability was still a major problem. Eventually, Williams managed to conquer their mechanical troubles, and added more computer‐control to the car, leading to success in the next couple of years. Williams took the championship in '92 and '93, with Nigel Mansell and then Alain Prost, who had just returned from a season off. Michael Schumacher joined the Formula 1 circuit in 1991, qualifying 7th on his debut for Team Jordan, although he didn’t get past the first lap. Just one race later, he defected to Benetton. With the major players of previous seasons now retired, Schumacher was the main rival for Ayrton Senna, but it was not going to be easy. The points system changed in 1990 so that all Formula 1 races were included in the championship and a win would gain you 10 points rather than 9 points. The FIA also declared that the driver aids, such as traction control, were having a negative impact on the impression of F1. Where was the driver skill? So, the aids were banned, despite Formula 1 getting more and more exciting.

CHAPTER 5 "Popular" Art in Renaissance Italy: Early Response to the Holy Mountain at Varallo ALESSANDRO NOVA The first Sacro Monte, or Holy Mountain, was founded in the late fifteenth century by the Franciscan Observant Bernardino Caimi. It was established at Varallo (Piedmont), which at that time formed part of the Milanese duchy, and the principal function of the Sacro Monte was to offer an accurate reconstruction of Jerusalem with its environs for those pilgrims who could not travel to the Holy Land. Indeed, an inscription painted over the entrance to Varallo's reproduction of the Holy Sepulchre, recording its comple• tion in 1491, could not have been more explicit: "The Milanese friar Bernardino Caimi designed the sacred places of this mountain, so that those who cannot make the pilgrimage see Jerusalem here."1 The original scheme was fairly modest, but the number of structures built to display the sculptural groups and frescoes representing Christ's life and Passion, as well as the life of the Virgin, increased considerably during the sixteenth century. The Sacro Monte reached its apogee under the guidance of Charles Borromeo and his collaborators, who created a network of Sacn Monti in the region between the Lombard lakes and the Swiss border.
