In the 1880s photographers and sports enthusiasts confidently declared the end of dead heats in sporting competition. Reflecting a broader social belief in technology, proponents of the camera stressed that the device could provide definitive proof of who won and who lost. Yet despite this remedy for the inadequate human eye, competitive races between horses, boats, and bicycles ended too close to call a sole champion. More than a century later, when cameras can subdivide the second into ten-thousandths and beyond, athletes continue to cross the finish line in ties. In this fascinating journey through the history of the photo-finish in sports, Jonathan Finn shows how innovation was animated by a drive for ever more precise tools and a quest for perfect measurement. As he traces the technological developments inspired by this crusade - from the evolution of the still camera to movie cameras, ultimately leading to complex contemporary photo-finish systems - Finn uncovers the social implications of adopting and contesting the photograph as evidence in sport. At every turn empirical obsession intersects with the unpredictability of sports, creating a paradox wherein the precision offered by photo-finish technology far exceeds the realities of human performance and its measurement. Separating athletes by the hundredth, thousandth, or ten-thousandth of a second is often a fiction that comes with significant material and cultural implications. A lively biography of a critical technology, Beyond the Finish Line illuminates the cultural role of the photo-finish in win-at-all-costs culture and warn that in our pursuit for precision we may threaten the human element of sport that galvanizes mere spectators into fans.

Are you an athlete transitioning from a career in sport and silently struggling along the way? Or perhaps you didn't realize how you would feel when your athletic career ended and how difficult transitioning to life beyond would be. You are not alone. Krista's forthright tell-all of her journey to the 2012 Summer Olympic rowing podium, as well as what came after, will help you find closure and peace, as well as a safe place to relate, laugh, and reflect on the "what next?" after sport. In sport, as in many other high-pressure niches, strength is an asset and discussion about weakness is not openly publicized. In telling her story, Krista is unmasking the face of retirement from sport. You will find relief in realizing that representing something strongly doesn't mean you always feel strong inside. Not only are admitting weakness and showing vulnerability encouraged by Krista, she will show you that sharing and uniting in struggle is actually part of the healing process. Breaking the silence and candidly sharing her struggles, you will hear a relatable account of what happens emotionally and physically after your athletic career ends and be better prepared when it is your time. You will gain insight into the journey of chasing a dream and, more notably, perspective on the journey that commences when you retire and begin to navigate the world beyond full-time sports.

This book is written as an inspirational book for both the young and old, to help them move beyond the line of dryness and emptiness in their life. Today many of us we are caught up in a stage of stagnancy & repetition of experiences in our life simply because of compromising decisions that we have made. Sometimes it is not the decision that we ourselves have made yet, but it is the fear of not wanting to take a chance with God & moving forward because of certain perception that barricades our lives & minds to think positive about God, and about ourselves, and as result we turn to compromise our lives because we believe that we have reached the final stage of our lives, a line of surviving and not succeeding in life. We start valuing trying, more that triumphing, yes, we value and set survival as benchmark of success in our lives and not success itself; we value less more that more or much; we devalue ourselves and started to identify ourselves with the world and not with God who created the world, and promised as a high life in Christ (John 10:10) But the reality is, God didn?t bring us far to live a compromised life, to compromise his promise, since his promises are yes and amen, but he has brought us this far to blossom, to transcend beyond people?s expectations & perceptions, beyond the barricades of life and to live fulfilling lives since he is God of fulfilment & fullness and he fulfils what he has started in us. It is because of compromise that many are settling for less. It is because of compromise that many view death as better that to life; and it is because of compromise that many have set survival as their finish line and a benchmark for their success. This book will help you understand the reason why we compromise, how to handle a compromising position as child of God, how to live a transcending life as God indented and also this book is a revelation for my God given destiny, as an instrument of change in this world.
