#Gary Horner

[ivovynckier]

Quartet Records has done something pretty brilliant here for Christmas: it released an expanded soundtrack for “Dad” (Gary David Goldberg) (1989).

I remember this score as the very first James Horner soundtrack I bought. Loved it a great deal then and do now.

Horner would go on to great things - “Apollo 13”, “Braveheart” and “Titanic”, anyone? - but, boy, was his unique talent on full display early on.

The booklet tells me he became a father himself in 1989 and that he wrote the music at the request of Steven Spielberg. That I did not know.

The latest episode of The Race podcast discusses the importance of Daniel's feedback in driving Alpha Tauri's car/team forward in the second half of last year, and why prioritising Daniel's feedback will be vital for the team going into 2024 if they want to maximise and extend on the huge performance steps they made in 2023. They also had an interesting discussion on why Daniel's style of driving and feedback has opened up more development directions compared to that of had under Gasly/Tsunoda.

Gary Anderson: And then, suddenly, they're back to where they wanted it to be; with a driver in the car that could give them confidence that the feedback was reasonable. Daniel Ricciardo, whether he's got the speed he had before or not, he is a driver that's won some Grand Prix. So, he was able to give them the actual feedback. And it looks like they were able to react to it late in the season and made the car into a better package. So what was their main problem? I think it was a lack of confidence in what the drivers were telling them. They didn't really have that. And the changing of drivers, obviously, diluted their real development direction until they had confidence in the guy that was giving it to them, which was Daniel Ricciardo, but because of his broken hand, it took about longer than they thought. Edd Straw: Yeah, I think you're right there because the drivers prior to Ricciardo were all talking about that late entry instability that was a problem. Whereas, actually, Ricciardo was saying that's not a big issue for me, but I want the mid-corner to be able to rotate the car mid-corner. And that's partly because Tsunoda's kind of the last of the late brakers in his technique. He does like to do that - I think he said to me last year when I asked, I don't think I've ever seen a driver who breaks later than me. So that was definitely the direction.  So Ben, this is probably quite a good thing to prioritise, isn't it? Taking a development direction from the drivers, primarily probably Ricciardo and what Tsunoda learns from that. That's perhaps something this team has not always had a weakness with, but perhaps a narrowness, especially given that they really focused on what Gasly liked previously. Ben Anderson: Yes, and he was similar as well, wasn't he? One of the things that undid Gasly at Red Bull, was this natural desire to be the last of the late brakers and ask too much of the car at the early part of the corner. Edd Straw: Regularly he broke later than Verstappen and then was under-rotated mid-corner and interpreted that as poor traction at exit because the car was under-rotated. Ben Anderson: Exactly. So you can see how that might have become endemic at the sister team because Gasly's gone there to be the team leader and then Tsunoda's come in under him and learned from him. And so Ricciardo is giving them a different direction. I mean Horner talked about that, didn't he, at the end of last season, how Ricciardo's experience had given Alpha Tauri the direction that Gary mentions that's so important. Something they can really focus on building the car around, rather than just listening to the same driver complaints and not really being able to get anywhere with it.

Gary Anderson: Yeah, it's really easy to say these cars gather, you know, bucket loads of data every lap they do. So the engineers can analyse the data, but the data that the car is gathering and such, is only the data that's developed from how the driver's driving it. So as you say, if you've got a driver who's just the last of the lap breakers and breaking 10 metres later than anybody else, obviously, you're on a white knuckle ride getting the car into the corner and then as you say Ed, you know, you're going to get mid-corner understeer and snappy oversteer. And if you spend all your time trying to fix the latter part, the snappy oversteer, you just end up digging a hole for yourself. So you need to get somebody in there as I say that gives you the confidence that the data you're gathering is the data from a driver who has had experience and was able to drive a good car and win races. So yeah, it all takes time to do that.  Ben Anderson: I think there's also an element of transition through the rule change from the previous set of regulations to this ground effect here, if I understand it rightly. You've got a certain amount less control now over some of how the car transitions through the different phases of the corner aerodynamically because you've lost some of those top body surfaces that used to help you manage the airflow in a bit more of a calmer way. So if you have a driver like Gasly who's quite aggressive, obviously he came back into that team under a different ruleset, maybe they had a few more tools available to kind of build the car around that style a bit more. They've lost some of those in this new era and I think that's where they've struggled kind of working around Tsunoda's driving style. Ricciardo coming in with a slightly different take focused in a different place, maybe with a bit more desire for general stability in the car, they've been able to kind of refocus and that is helping them. So I agree with Gary, I think building around that and continuing that momentum is probably the most important thing for them, around the off track noise. Edd Straw: And that's certainly I think something the team is very happy with because they had a bit of a suspicion that they were maybe being sent down a bit of a cul-de-sac by what the drivers wanted. So Ricciardo's experience has I think broadened that and should help them all round.

Devocional da Mulher

VOCÊ É PRECIOSA

Glória! Glória! Aleluia!

Também nos gloriamos nas tribulações, sabendo que a tribulação produz perseverança, a perseverança produz experiência e a experiência produz esperança. Ora, a esperança não nos deixa decepcionados, porque o amor de Deus é derramado em nosso coração pelo Espírito Santo, que nos foi dado. Romanos 5:3-5

Meu pai muito amado e respeitado mostrou à sua família como viver e como morrer. Ele abraçou a Bíblia como a voz de Deus para sua alma. Ele testemunhou para nós ao longo de anos e anos de leitura e estudo fervoroso da Escrituras. Gradualmente, dia após dia e noite após noite, seu coração e mente foram ficando cheios do Espírito e da verdade de Deus. Quando era provado, experimentava e revelava o poder do evangelho. Mesmo nas horas mais sombrias de sua batalha contra a leucemia, ele se aproximou de Deus por meio de poderosas promessas bíblicas, e Deus Se aproximou dele.

Pela graça por meio da fé, meu pai engrandeceu o Senhor que ele amava. Ele exaltou Seu nome e Sua Palavra. Aqui está uma história de sua vida que eu valorizo e oro para nunca esquecer.

Papai estava descansando em sua cama em um quarto na casa de minha irmã em Indiana. Eu estava com ele, mas precisava voltar para Saint Louis com minha família. Fiquei relutante em me separar dele por causa da distância enquanto ele estava tão fraco. Meu maior medo era que talvez sua fé também estivesse enfraquecendo. Todos nós sabíamos que seu maior desejo era viver para ver Jesus voltar nas nuvens. Se isso não pudesse acontecer, será que ele ainda acreditaria? Ou ele se desesperaria e abandonaria a fé em Deus quando a morte se aproximasse? Ajoelhei-me ao lado dele e disse-lhe que o amava e odiava o fato de ter quer ir embora. Ele me garantiu que ficaria bem e que acreditava que o Senhor o curaria. Temendo o pior, perguntei: “Mas, papai, e se Ele não o curar antes de voltar?”

Uma lágrima escapou de seus olhos e deslizou lentamente por sua bochecha. Ele simplesmente declarou sua verdadeira confiança: “Então eu ainda confiarei Nele”. Escrevi sua resposta de cinco palavras em minha Bíblia, ao lado das palavras de Jó registradas em Jó 13:15: “Ainda assim esperarei Nele” (NVI). Frequentemente sou abençoada pelo espírito de triunfo e paz nessas palavras. Ao me aproximar do final da terceira década desde que o ancião Gary Chase proferiu a profunda mensagem fúnebre do meu pai, sinto-me muito agradecida pela paz e poder do evangelho de Cristo. A fé, a esperança e o amor de papai ainda afirmam as obras do Senhor para mim. Quero estar tão pronta para a vinda do Senhor quanto ele estava.

Listen to the brilliant piano work on James Horner's soundtrack "Dad"...

(Horner, a pianist at the age of 5 years, never played the piano himself on his scores. There's one exception: the "Titanic" soundtrack contains one track where he plays a solo piece because director James Cameron forced his hand.)

The whole Take That vs Spice Girls debate is dumb for so many reasons that I won't get into now but I will say yes, Take That do have more obvious musical talent, but no one seems to account for Take That's fragile mental state and the fact that the Spice Girls are not above psychological warfare.
