I'm counting wars I did not cause
Waking before the dawn
I miss all for you
I'm watching her weight around her legs
I'd frozen, kept from side
And it's all for you

Should I stay or would I drown
In water that she used when she moved
To wash us all away
Should I stay or would I drown
And what if I today have come
If you let in every rain

Tonight the only way out of love
Is through self-doubt
You keep me in the MIDNIGHT SHALLOWS
The white of the eyes I am taking down
You keep me in the MIDNIGHT SHALLOWS

She's leaving the life line that she came from
Her prince will stain the floor
And it's all for you

So should I stay or would I drown
If I can make it look this way
Could I take on the grace from her eyes

Tonight the only way out of love
Is through self-doubt
You keep me in the MIDNIGHT SHALLOWS
The white of the eyes I am taking down
You keep me in the MIDNIGHT SHALLOWS / mt wolf...

Tonight the only way out of love
Is through self-doubt
You keep me in the MIDNIGHT SHALLOWS
The white of the eyes I am taking down
You keep me in the MIDNIGHT SHALLOWS

Director Of Photography: Rina Yang
Modernity and the birth of the photograph catalysed a revolution in our perception of time and motion.
Inspired by the work of Etienne-Jules Marey, yet moving with the times into the digital era, we continue this dialogue between motion and capture.
By using the rigorous filmic process of 'step-and-repeat printing' as our foundation, we have digitally multiplied, delayed, freeze-framed and overlaid our shots. This layering up, in some cases, resulted in 50 video tracks.
Compositing allowed for a more controlled and sculptural study of movement. Although a digital workflow the technique was incredibly tactile, much like the early days of celluloid. No images were computer-generated and certain sequences include up to 1,498 shots.
The multiplicity of the visuals generated by this chronophotographic approach evoked certain parallels with wider natural phenomena. The archive sections were a way of exploring these aesthetic semblances.

A freak of nature
The results of a stress test done to confirm Miguel Indurain 15 years after his retirement exceptional rider physiology navarro

Starting the Tour where part of Pamplona, tomorrow, and the way it does, with a team time, inevitably remind Miguel Indurain (Villava, near Pamplona, July 16, 1964), the best cyclist in history to Spain. Over the encascados, shaped, aerodynamic sets the Estafeta, a question also inevitably arise: What role would the Indurain today, 48 years and over 90 kilos, with much less kilometer bike leg that their active period, and more than 15 in the first stage of 2012 Ronde Spanish?

Not so much a rhetorical-melancholic, open response question to the imagination, as a real question with a real answer and studied. "More than 14 years after his retirement, the absolute values of Indurain are higher than those of many young runners who are currently in the bunch," says I�igo Mujika, a physiologist who submitted Indurain in 2010 to a full stress test whose results against those of a study when his hour record 1994, just published in the International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance .

I could no longer resist the Vuelta, but their values are even higher than those of active runners
"The aim of the study was to check the decline in physical ability of a great champion and compare it to other cases already published. And although this decline has been between 12% and 20% per decade decline than in other published studies with other athletes, which is estimated at 10%, and have trained more after leaving the professionalism, Indurain absolute values are still higher than those of active cyclists. "

Their values are so high, could be added, used to confirm that the years after that was at its peak , between 1991 and 1995, when he won the Tour five times and amazed the world, were a genuine phenomenon of nature, of someone with a unique genetic. "An almost unique case, as were Anquetil, Hinault or Bahamontes" says Pedro Celaya, a physiologist who has worked with Armstrong, "a phenomenon."

When Sabino Padilla, his physiologist at Banesto, Mujika and subjected him to a deep study to gauge their ability to beat the hour record on the velodrome in Bordeaux in the summer of 1994 (got: 53,040 kilometers), Indurain had 30, measured 1.88 meters, weighing 81 kilos and ... 24,000 kilometers in the legs that season (he had just won his fourth Tour and had also raced the Giro). Then their maximum oxygen consumption (the parameter that indicates the physical capacity of a person, which marks the limit of its performance) was very high, 79 milliliters per kilo and minute, maximum production was 572 watt (7, 1 kilo) and lactate threshold (at which time you can not sustain the effort for more than a few minutes) was 505 (6.23 per kilo). His heart at that moment, the threshold, beating 183 beats per minute.

Indurain's Tour runs 95 / MANUEL ESCALERA
Later in the light of what has been done in the record and Mujika Padilla allowed provide that the watts needed to produce Indurain to travel 53,040 miles an hour were 510 calculations. Many experts, in comparison with other recordmen as Merckx (380), Rominger (456) and Boardman (462), then raised their eyebrows, skeptical, neglecting the power to weight ratio harmed Indurain (6.29 watts / kilo) versus Rominger (7 watts / kilo) or Boardman (6.7 watts / kilo). Top cyclists currently studied in their ascents in the big turns, throw watts of this caliber: 6.73 watts / kilo meter in the mean time of Verbier, when he won the Tour in 2009, 6.33 in Angliru Cobo 2011; Froome, and Menchov 6.16 Up: 6.29 Wiggins in the last Tour, Sastre 6.36 at Vesuvius ...

Data for the stress test conducted in 2010 by Mujika serve to ratify, but the incredible natural potential Indurain. When subjected to the study weighed 92.2 kilos, was 46 years old and had only bicycle tour that year, and discontinuously, about 8,000 kilometers. Nevertheless, peak oxygen consumption was 57.4 milliliters per kilo and per minute; their maximum watts, 450, and on the threshold of 369 (4 watts / kilo), and with a heart beating at 170 beats per minute.

"These are values that are found in cyclists now, they have had the benefit of youth," says Celaya, "however, Indurain could not hold a Tour today, even losing weight, then plays against old age, an irreversible process that affects their ability to hormone production, muscle quality, the quality of the receptors ... In short, negatively affects their resilience, basic cycling "parameter.

n the spring of 1900 the Swedish explorer Sven Anders Hedin was surveying the area west of Lop Nur (Uygur Autonomous Region in modern China). One night his Uygur guide, Ardik, went back to their former base camp to fetch a missing pick, and lost his way in a rising sandstorm. Moving by dim moonlight, the Uygur guide found the lost pick and then discovered the ruins of a huge Buddhist pagoda, some half-buried wooden beams decorated with exquisite carvings and copper coins spread in the sand. The place turned out to be the site of the ancient city of Loulan. Altogether 970 copper coins made in the Tang Dynasty were recovered in the ruins, probably the remainder of a string of 1,000 cash dropped by an ancient trade caravan. This find provides convincing evidence that the Silk Road was open and clear to traffic in the Tang Dynasty.

Picture of Peliot, a French archaeologist, in the library. It’s been taken from the book “The Silk Road, two thousands years in the heart of Asia”. Peliot was the second person putting his hands on the library, he mastered some Asian languages and was able to choose the scripts he was bringing home.

For an archaeologist finding a statue in the sand has to make him stop breathing, , discovering a mummy has to be a dream come true and discovering a hidden city has to be a mental orgasm. And finding a forgotten library? Sounds good, but not as cool, isn’t it? Is not that bright, does not catch attention that much.

However if we get into an archaeologist skin maybe we change the idea. A library means knowledge. If you discover an statue, you find out what period it’s from, from what king could it be, from a mummy you can deduce what century it was embalmed by the materials or the technique. A city you can try to place it in history with the architecture hints.

A library tells you, you don’t have to guess or relate things or suppose, it’s books tells you how life was, you don’t have to imagine or deduce. There are facts written down. Texts can tell you about prices of things, about cooking, wars, religion, science or foreign visitors. If there are different languages you can know who they were friendly with or what cultural influences they had. An additional advantage is that people that write book are very organized and all is told with the date attched to it, ideal for historians.

Finding the library in Dunhuang caves was the most important discovery in the silk road from my point of view. As it does not have pyramid shape or a lot of karat gold it has not been very popular as that doesn’t sell. Of course it is UNESCO heritage and has total protection.
