The metadata is correct, this here spider was shot with a 150-600mm telephoto lens. I didn't happen to have my macro lens with me when I came across this guy, so I improvised, hence the title. And in the same moment answering the age-old question that no one asked: can you take a macro shot with a telephoto lens? Apparently you can - provided you've got a steady hand, someone else's shoulder, or a tripod. (You also shouldn't try this while the wind is blowing 😅)
I wanted to assimilate the emotion and style that Abbie Trayler-Smith shows in her 'The Big O' project.
Intention: Warrior Pose. I wanted to capture her focus and strength while doing yoga as a woman, wife, and mother feeling comfortable and confident in a larger body and showing her strength. Some of Trayler-Smith's subjects felt confident in their own skin and others did not, but she captured it all.
Reference to Reading: I loved so many quotes from Lesson 57 this week, but one was "Leave everything else that doesn't make you say, "Oh my God, look at that!" to others." I love this quote and I love this photo. This is a photo of my wife. I love her so much and she has been through so much mentally, physically, and emotionally and has struggled with all the stigmas and the way the media has made people in larger bodies feel. This has directly impacted her and even with everything else going on in our daily family life that just adds so much more emotional and mental toll to it, she stays strong through it all. She is a warrior. She is someone I see every single day and say, "look at that!" "look at you!" "you are a woman that rocks and is out here killing it despite all the adversity and obstacles you have had to overcome."
Outcome: This came out as intended. My only change would have been a smoother line in the floor where I moved the couch from the photo.
Edits: levels adjustment, upped clarity a bit, fixed a few over exposed spots, moved our couch out of the photo because it was distracting, and painted my wife's toenails because it was her only request when having this photo taken. I also cropped this photo and added a very slight darker vignette.
Ah, que bom seria se todas as pessoas pudessem viver e conviver com as diferenças, com a diversidade, numa boa, juntas, e felizes.
Ah, que bom seria se todas as pessoas soubessem respeitar o outro, sem se importar com a sua cor, sua religião ou qualquer outro traço que o torne diferente.
Ah, que bom seria se todas as pessoas se enxergassem como irmãos, sentissem prazer em compartilhar exatamente essas diferenças e assim se tornassem ainda mais diferentes e únicos, pela soma e nunca pela subtração.
Ah, que bom seria se todas as pessoas conseguissem viver juntos, respeitando o outro pelas suas diferenças: de cor, de forma, ou até por brilhar mais do que a maioria..
Assim, como nessa cesta de frutas...
Bjo.

We're in the All Ireland Junior Cup Final!
by Roger Corbett
Bangor produced an awesome display of power and composure to overcome a strong Clogher Valley side by 9-6 and book their place in this season’s final.
With both sides able to field their full-strength starting fifteens, backed up by an equally proficient seven man bench, this all-Ulster semi-final between two of the top teams within the Qualifying League had caught the attention of many rugby enthusiasts who were anticipating a memorable contest. The playing surface and weather conditions were just about perfect, with what little breeze there was blowing across the pitch and of little advantage to either side.
With hundreds of spectators lining the touchlines, and many more watching from the warmth and comfort of the clubhouse, Bangor’s Jason Morgan got proceedings underway. The home side didn’t want to repeat the early mistakes of last week’s game at CIYMS, and appeared to be focussed from the outset. However, Clogher Valley were obviously mindful of their last visit to Upritchard Park and started with power and purpose. The first couple of set pieces showed why their pack is a force to be reckoned with, pushing Bangor back with worrying ease. Building on this early dominance, Clogher took play into Bangor’s twenty two and mounted several good attacking moves. Bangor’s defence held firm on each occasion, until Clogher decided the only way they were going to come away with some points for these efforts was to take a drop goal, giving them an early lead by 0-3.
Having been under considerable pressure, Bangor started to work their way back into the game and were eventually rewarded with a Mark Widdowson penalty, which levelled the scores at 3-3 after 20 minutes. Further pressure from the home side soon resulted in another Clogher infringement at the breakdown, which resulted in another Widdowson penalty which put Bangor ahead for the first time by 6-3.
Although Clogher still looked dangerous in attack, when Bangor regained possession they quickly turned defence into attack through sensible and accurate positional kicking from Jason Morgan. Having gained good territory, Bangor then fought hard to stay there, even to the point where they managed to charge down two Clogher clearance kicks, although to the visitors’ relief the ball bounced out of play. However, the sustained pressure being exerted through Bangor’s back line eventually led to another penalty, which Widdowson converted to extend the lead to 9-3, which brought the first half to a close.
The first good attacking opportunity of the second half fell to Clogher after just 6 minutes. From a penalty in mid-field, a good kick brought the line-out close to Bangor’s 5 metre line. This is usually the platform from where Clogher are most deadly – their line-out and driving maul is a difficult force to stop. However, Bangor were prepared and not only stopped the drive, but turned the ball over and cleared their lines. Then to drive home the fact, they did it again a few minutes later. Given Clogher’s rightful reputation for their prowess in this area, the defensive response by Bangor’s forwards was truly impressive.
The only worrying time for Bangor came after 14 minutes when captain Jamie Clegg was somewhat harshly yellow-carded for pulling down a maul. From the resulting penalty, Clogher clawed back 3 points, making the score now 9-6.
However, obviously buoyed by their earlier dominance in the forwards, the seven man scrum of Bangor was now pushing the eight man Clogher pack backwards. Psychologically, this was a turning point, as Bangor now assumed control and prevented their opponents from developing any meaningful attacks. This, combined with Morgan’s positional kicking, resulted in Clogher being pinned down for most of the final quarter in their own half. Clogher’s situation became even more difficult when, after 22 minutes, one of their second row forwards was yellow-carded for not rolling away from a tackle.
With both sides finding it hard to break through each other’s defence, Bangor played tactically by simply preventing their opponents to build meaningful attacks through committed and effective defence, and then pushing them back deep into their own territory through long kicks for touch. On at least two occasions, Bangor came close to crossing Clogher’s line through breaks by Curtis Stewart and Davy Charles. They then had an opportunity within the final 5 minutes to extend their lead when Widdowson had another penalty kick from the right of Clogher’s posts. However, a sudden attack of cramp in his run-up resulted in the kick being miss-hit, and the ball drifted wide of the mark. Although disappointed not to have scored, Bangor stuck to their plan, and continued to thwart any chance of a counter attack, finally running down the clock to record a famous victory.
While the final score-line may not suggest it, this was an enthralling game from start to finish, played in good spirit and without any major injuries. For the visitors’ part, they may feel that they didn’t play to their normal high standard. However, they came up against a Bangor side that has proved so far in this competition that it can match and better the best junior sides in Ireland. Bangor’s route to the final has been as difficult as it could be possible – Clonmel (one of the pre-tournament favourites, and Munster champions) in round 1, Enniscorthy (the current cup holders) in the quarter finals, and now Clogher Valley (last year’s beaten finalists, and the current QL1 champions) in the semis. What lies ahead on 31st January 2015 is still unclear, following a 25-25 draw at the other semi-final between CIYMS and Dundalk. What is clear, however, is that Bangor can rightly look forward in confidence to face whoever is to come between them and the title. In the meantime, there are still vital games ahead in the league, resuming with a home fixture against Cooke next weekend.

In 1960, Atlanta became the focus of the nation as it began desegregating its schools. The whole country had seen the violence and loud cries of hate that erupted in Little Rock and New Orleans and expected the same from Atlanta, the heart of the South. Mayor Hartsfield made it clear that this would not be the case. Hartsfield was dedicated to the peaceful desegregation of the city throughout the decade and called Atlanta, “A city too busy to hate.” The desegregation was rather pleasantly uneventful which won the acclaim of President Kennedy. He instructed the rest of the nation to follow the example Atlanta had set. Businesses and restaurants were also desegregated quietly, thanks to compromises made by merchants and black civil rights leaders. The peaceful desegregation in Atlanta set a high standard for the rest of the country to follow. By overcoming the issue, Atlanta was able to move on and rise up the economic ladder without the impediment of segregation to get in the way of progress.

"Status quo bias" is an emotional bias; a preference for the current state of affairs, even a fear of change. The current baseline state of affairs (or status quo) is taken as a comfortale reference point, and any change from that baseline is perceived as a loss. Innovation must overcome this bias.

I created this set of images to illustrate the concept of Rattex's track, AirMaxin' (Download the track). The track is about Rattex's desire to succeed, despite the limiting expectations people in the township try to force upon him.
Rattex uses his new Nikes as a metaphor for 'making it' - they are a symbol of success, but also represent the daily hustle to survive and escape the forces that are trying to hold him back.
'Movement' is an essential part of any journey. My images show Rattex in series of dynamic situations which are distilled metaphors for overcoming the negative aspects of his environment that are trying to hold him back - there are always obstacles in his path, but by making the right choices with constant purpose, he stay on the right path.

Fortune Brainstorm Health
May 2-3, 2017: San Diego, CA
At our inaugural Brainstorm HEALTH conference, we focused on the best and brightest ideas in the digital health care revolution. In May, we’ll tackle how to speed up this disruption and seize the benefits now. We’ll dive deeper into what’s working, what’s not—and why? And we’ll drill down into some of the most urgent questions in this domain: How do we get investment into the right areas quickly—and overcome the barriers that stand in the way of progress. Our theme for our second Brainstorm HEALTH event says it all: “Accelerating the Health Revolution.” And yes, we mean to do just that.
Confirmed 2017 speakers include Joseph R. Biden, Jr., 47th Vice President, United States, CEOs Chip Bergh of Levi Strauss & Co. Mark Bertolini of Aetna, Tom Hayes of Tyson Foods, Arianna Huffington of Thrive Global, John Mackey of Whole Foods, Mike McNamara of Flex, Denise Morrison of Campbell Soup, and Timothy Wentworth of Express Scripts, as well as Duke University Surgical Oncologist (and Time 100 honoree) Dr. Shelley Hwang, Tempus Co-founder and Chair Eric Lefkofsky, Stanford University School of Medicine Dean Dr. Lloyd Minor, Venrock Partner Dr. Bryan Roberts, and Human Longevity Co-founder and Executive Chair Dr. J. Craig Venter. They will be joined by our co-chairs—Fortune Editor-in-Chief Clifton Leaf, Time Executive Editor Siobhan O’Connor and Dr. David Agus, one of the world’s most influential physicians.
Fortune Brainstorm HEALTH, in association with IBM Watson Health, will gather not only C-suite leaders of top companies, hospitals, insurers, and cutting-edge pharma and biotech companies, but also titans of venture capital, tech and telecom, and other industries, all of who are rapidly changing the face of health care. The forum will cover four pillars—personal wellness, intervention, research, and the value chain. Our aim is not only to push some boundaries in each of these areas, but also to show how businesses, both established and new, can lead the way. And, yes, as with all of our Brainstorm events, Fortune will disseminate these ideas on our website, in the magazine, on social media, and beyond.
