This Veteran Became Disfigured After Saving a Woman's Life. 5 Years Later, His New Face is Revealed For the First Time
In 2011, a soldier named Mitch Hunter became one of the first people in the world to receive a face transplant after the car he was in slammed into an electrical pole in 2001.
In that accident, Hunter pushed a woman to safety, but he absorbed a current of 10,000 volts for nearly five minutes, which took his leg and face. Local Indianapolis TV news station WISH spoke with Hunter in an exclusive interview, which you can watch below.
Since the transplant, Hunter has been providing updates on his YouTube channel and has gone through multiple surgeries, sometimes three in one day, taking up a total of twelve hours. Mitch says he's not able to remember the accident.
"Imagine walking into a room and like falling, and everybody noticing. That's how it was every time I walked in a room because of the way my face looked."
"I would like to tell people just not to worry about the small things; live life. Tell the people you love that you love them because you never know when that can be taken away."
Hunter still has to travel to Massachusetts twice a year to get work done. He's been able to grow a beard and has most, if not all, of the feeling back in his face.

Code politics investigates the ramifications of digital code to contemporary politics. Recent developments on the web, known as web2.0, have attracted the attention of the field.Web2.0 is an explosion of web platforms: structurations of humans and code with specific affordances. Platforms, then, have distinct code politics. The thesis compares the code politics of two web2.0 platforms: Drupal, a content management platform, and The Pirate Bay, a file sharing website and political movement. The works of Ernesto Laclau, Chantal Mouffe, and Bruno Latour on articulation theory offers a theoretical lens to compare the articulatory capacities of the two platforms. The Drupal case studies the complex interactions between humans and code, and addresses how Drupal functions as an empty platform allowing its users to reconstitute its digital code. The Pirate Bay case demonstrates how a political movement uses code as part of their political platform. Not only does the group advocate file sharing, they allow thousands of people across the world to share information freely. The two platforms demonstrate alternative, commons-based structurations of web2.0 at a time when most web2.0 platforms only seek a revenue model.

Hip-hop star Diddy and Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg just put a lot of money on the line as they made a huge bet on the May 2 showdown between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
In an advertisement for the performance water company, AQUAHydrate, Diddy and Wahlberg are shown discussing the highly anticipated "Fight of the Century."
"Who you got in the fight?" Wahlberg asked.
Diddy picked up a "TMT" hat and announced: "I got Mayweather. Go with the Money Team, baby. Who you got?"
"Pacman," Wahlberg said.
The hip-hop mogul asked Wahlberg if he wanted to put $100,000 on the table, to which Wahlberg answered: "Why so little?", prompting Diddy to raise the stakes to $250,000.
Wahlberg, the star of the Academy Award-nominated film "The Fighter," is a huge boxing fan and visited Pacquiao earlier this month at the Wild Card Gym.

Hello Readers- I love sharing information about makeup and beauty. You won't believe the feedback that's coming in. Here's a few:
-I truly enjoyed reading your page. What a Blessing…
-Thank you for the wealth of information you have provided on this site...
-I hope all is well and I look forward to learn some make up tips ~ thanks for sharing, blessings…
Get Excited! Today's topic is a must-have beauty fixer "Face Powder". Powder provides staying power for your makeup-it won't last the day without it. It helps absorb the skin's natural oils to help control shine throughout the day. And it's the finishing stop that helps your skin appear smooth and natural. You can even brush it on over a clean, moisturized face for a fresh, no-makeup look.
Most face powder is made from two bases: cornstarch and talcum. It basically comes in two forms, loose and pressed. Use a loose powder to set your makeup. It works best and lasts longest. Loose powders contain more oil absorbers than pressed, so it is the best choice for oily skin. Of course, it you travel, pressed powder is far more convenient to take along with you. Powder is an absolute must for oily skin. It absorbs extra oil from the skin and can be reapplied throughout the day. The finer a powder is milled, the higher the quality, so the less likely it is to cake on the skin. Finer-milled powders will feel more like velvet, whereas less-milled powders eel more gritty.
There are several ways to apply both types of powder:
A sponge works well for tight areas and is great for "spot" powdering.
A brush is the easiest and most commonly used tool. It is great for blending, but you must be careful not to over-blend and brush of what you apply. Or best results; apply a little bit of powder at a time with a brush, instead of applying it all at once, to ensure smooth, even coverage.
A powder puff offers the best coverage and is my favorite way to apply powder. Press a puff or sponge into the powder and then "roll" it onto the skin. Pushing it into the skin makes your foundation and powder appear as one with your skin and looks far more natural. To finish, lightly sweep the face with a brush using gentle downward strokes to remove any excess powder.
A fingertip works well for a light powder application. It's a great way to powder underneath the eyes, especially for mature women. Just dip your finger in loose powder. Rub your finger in the palm of your hands to brush off the excess, then trace your finger over the area underneath the eyes set your concealer and minimize fine lines.
Yellow-based shades look healthier and more natural. To get that perfect shades of concealer, try mixing it with a little or your foundation.
Until next time…Have a wonderful day!

I can't believe it's been over 3 months since I got to marry the love of my life. It was a whirlwind 2 years organising and as everyone warned me beforehand, it was over in a flash. It was the perfect day spent with our nearest and dearest and it couldn't have been any more special. I'm so excited to share our amazing photographs with you. Rhian did such an incredible job of capturing the joy and fun of the day.
I've managed to narrow 625 photos down to just over 70, so I'll be spreading them over 3 posts in the next couple of weeks. This first selection include preparations at our parents house, the ceremony and the first few posed pictures with the wedding party. I really hope you enjoy sharing in our memories.

The regional adaptation of knee cartilage morphology to the kinematics of walking has been suggested as an important factor in the evaluation of the consequences of alteration in normal gait leading to osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of spatial cartilage thickness distributions of the femur and tibia in the knee to the knee kinematics during walking. Gait data and knee MR images were obtained from 17 healthy volunteers (age 33.2±9.8 years). Cartilage thickness maps were created for the femoral and tibial cartilage. Locations of thickest cartilage in the medial and lateral compartments in the femur and tibia were identified using a numerical method. The flexion-extension (FE) angle associated with the cartilage contact regions on the femur, and the anterior-posterior (AP) translation and internal-external (IE) rotation associated with the cartilage contact regions on the tibia at the heel strike of walking were tested for correlation with the locations of thickest cartilage. The locations of the thickest cartilage had relatively large variation (SD 8.9°) and was significantly associated with the FE angle at heel strike only in the medial femoral condyle (R2=0.41, p<0.01). The natural knee kinematics and contact surface shapes seem to affect the functional adaptation of knee articular cartilage morphology. The sensitivity of cartilage morphology to kinematics at the knee during walking suggests that regional cartilage thickness variations are influenced by both loading and the number of loading cycles. Thus walking is an important consideration in the analysis of the morphological variations of articular cartilage, since it is the dominant cyclic activity of daily living. The sensitivity of cartilage morphology to gait kinematics is also important in understanding the etiology and pathomechanics of osteoarthritis.
The factors influencing the phenotypic thickness variation in the articular cartilage at the knee is an important consideration in understanding pathomechanics of degenerative disease such as osteoarthritis. It has been suggested that the joint loading conditions during normal activities can affect knee articular cartilage morphology (Andriacchi et al., 2004a, Jones et al., 2000). While it has been reported that loading during activities such as walking influence the medial-lateral variations in bone density (Hurwitz et al., 1998) and cartilage thickness (Miyazaki et al., 2002), the kinematic factors that affect variations in cartilage thickness are still not well understood. Yet, the regional sensitivity of cartilage morphology is important since it has been suggested that the kinematic changes at the knee can lead to osteoarthritis (Andriacchi et al., 2009).
The mechanics of walking offer the opportunity to test the relationship between gait mechanics and cartilage since patterns of movement and loading are repeatable (Kadaba et al., 1989). For example, axial knee joint loading for normal walking has three peak amplitudes during the stance phase of gait (Schipplein and Andriacchi, 1991) with a large force at heel strike. It has also been shown (Koo and Andriacchi, 2008) that the anterior-posterior (AP) position of contact on the medial and lateral compartment of the knee changes during the heel strike phase of walking and can be related to a unique combination of knee flexion, AP position and Internal-external (IE) rotation.
The loading and kinematic conditions that occur at heel strike during walking offer a unique opportunity to test for a relationship between regional cartilage thickness and individual variation in the kinematics of the knee during walking. Specifically, it would be important to know if healthy cartilage is adapted to normal kinematics during walking, since it has been suggested that kinematic changes associated with conditions such as ACL injury can lead to a degenerative pathway for cartilage (Chaudhari et al., 2008, Lohmander et al., 2004) by shifting loads to regions of cartilage that are not conditioned to sustain the chronic loads associated with the mechanics of walking (Andriacchi et al., 2009).
The observations described above suggest that if knee kinematics influence variations in cartilage thickness then there would be correlations between the knee kinematics during heel strike of walking and cartilage thickness.
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the AP spatial cartilage thickness distributions in the medial and lateral compartments of the distal femur and proximal tibia are influenced by the knee flexion angle (primary motion of the knee) as shown in Figure 1 and the AP translation and internal-external (IE) rotation (secondary motions of the knee) that occur at heel strike during walking.
Seventeen healthy volunteers (10 males and 7 females) without history of significant knee injuries enrolled in the study. Average (± One Standard Deviation) age was 33.2±9.8 years old and average BMI was 23.0±2.4 kg/m2. The study was approved by the IRB at Stanford University (California, USA) and an informed consent was obtained from each volunteer prior to testing. Each volunteer underwent knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and gait testing as explained below.
High contrast MR images optimized for articular cartilage were obtained for the left knees of the volunteers with a General Electric 1.5T clinical scanner (GE Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI) with a standard transmit-receive extremity coil. We used a fat-suppressed three-dimensional (3D) spoiled gradient recalled echo (SPGR) sequence in the sagittal plane. MRI parameters were set to TR=60 ms, TE=5 ms, flip angle=40°, field of view 140×140 mm, slice thickness of 1.5 mm, 60 slices and matrix 256×256, and scan time 10 minutes 18 seconds.
Subjects were advised to minimize load bearing activities before coming to the MRI site and they were required to rest in a chair to unload their knee for 15–20 minutes before starting the MR imaging. Each subject's knee was carefully positioned in the MRI using form pads underneath the knee and shank to straighten the leg. The knee internal-external rotation was also controlled using form pads to match the anatomical sagittal plane to the MRI sagittal plane.
The SPGR MR sequence has been reported to provide high contrast cartilage images which can be used to delineate the articular cartilage boundary and measure the morphology of the cartilage (Disler et al., 1995, Disler, 1997). The articular cartilage on the distal femur and proximal tibia was segmented from each slice of the MR images using our custom semi-automatic software (Koo et al., 2005). The accuracy and repeatability of creating 3D cartilage models from MR images were reported in our previous study (Koo et al., 2005, Koo et al., 2009). The segmented images of the femoral and tibial cartilage were combined and reconstructed into 3D models with fine polygonal surface meshes. Cartilage thickness was calculated for each vertex on the articular surface meshes by calculating the distance to the bone-cartilage interfacial surface in the surface normal direction using the custom software.
Gait tests were performed with an optoelectronic motion capture system (Qualysis, Sweden) using the point cluster technique (Andriacchi et al., 1998) at a self-selected normal walking speed. Flexion-extension (FE), anterior-posterior (AP) translation and internal-external (IE) rotation were calculated from the gait data (Andriacchi et al., 2004b) as shown in Figure 1(a). This study focused on the knee kinematics at heel strike when the contact force is highest during walking. The heel strike for each trial was identified using force plate data and the FE angle, AP translation and IE rotation at the knee were calculated for this time point.
The FE angle of the knee at heel strike is associated with the tibiofemoral contact locations on the femoral cartilage at heel strike in both the medial and lateral condyles (Figure 1(b)). However, for the tibial cartilage, the secondary motions of the knee - AP translation and IE rotation between the femur and tibia - are associated with the tibiofemoral contact regions as described in our previous study (Andriacchi et al., 2009) and as shown in Figure 1(c).
The femoral and tibial cartilage models created in the previous step were utilized to identify the location of the thickest cartilage in each compartment as explained below.
Firstly, the cartilage thickness maps were projected onto surfaces to flatten their profiles. The central axis of the femoral cartilage from the sagittal view of the MRI was calculated by fitting a cylinder whose axis is vertical to the sagittal view (pseudo-transepicondylar line) to the points on the surface of the femoral cartilage model (Chaudhuri, 1990). The cartilage thickness map on the femoral cartilage model was projected onto the surface of the fitted cylinder to create a two-dimensional (2D) femoral cartilage thickness map as shown in Figure 2(b). The long axis of the femur in our data was very closely aligned with the superior-inferior direction of the MRI in the sagittal view with an average±one standard deviation of 4.5±1.9 degrees. Thus the coordinate system on the femoral cartilage was set by placing the long axis of the femur in the sagittal view of the MRI along the superior-inferior direction of the MRI and through the center of the fitted cylinder. The rotational location on the distal femoral surface in the sagittal view of the MRI was determined as anterior direction negative and the posterior direction positive values (Figure 2(c)).
The thickness map of the tibial cartilage was projected onto the transverse plane of the MRI to generate a 2D tibial cartilage thickness map. Anterior and posterior ends of each compartment of tibial cartilage were set to 0 percent and 100 percent, respectively, to represent the relative location of the thickest cartilage in the AP direction as shown in Figure 3.
The locations (centroids) of the thickest cartilage were identified in the medial and lateral condyles of the femoral cartilage and the medial and lateral plateaus of the tibial cartilage. To calculate the locations objectively, an optimization algorithm was used to fit a 2D Gaussian distribution of thickness to the local region on the 2D cartilage thickness map (Figure 2(d)). This optimization algorithm was implemented using MATLAB (Mathworks, USA). The centroids were represented using the axis determined on the femoral cartilage in the sagittal view and tibial cartilage in the transverse view.
The association between the FE angle at heel strike and the locations of thickest cartilage in the medial and lateral condyles of femoral cartilage were tested by calculating Pearson's correlation coefficients. Additionally, the associations of the AP translation and IE rotation with the locations of the thickest cartilage in the medial and lateral plateaus of tibial cartilage were also tested with multivariate correlation analysis.
The verage FE angle at heel strike for the left knee of 17 volunteers was −2.1±3.3° (hyperextension); 25th and 75th percentiles were −4.8° and 0.3°, respectively.
Angular locations of the thickest cartilage on the femoral cartilage were identified in both medial and lateral condyles. The locations of the thickest cartilage in the medial condyles were significantly correlated (R2=0.41, p<0.01) with the knee FE angle at heel strike, while the locations in the lateral condyles were not associated with the FE angle (Figure 4).
Further analysis of the angular locations of the thickest cartilage on the medial and lateral condyles showed that the locations on the lateral condyles had smaller variations (one standard deviation 5.3° vs. 8.9°) and were located in more posterior regions (median location 29.1° vs. 16.9°) as shown in Figure 5.
Anterior-posterior locations of the thickest cartilage on the tibial cartilage were not associated with AP translation, IE rotation or a combination of the AP and IE according to the multivariate correlation analysis. The thickest locations on both medial and lateral plateaus were located posterior to the mid-line of the tibial cartilage (59.4% and 63.6%, respectively, from the anterior end with 100% representing the AP length of each plateau and 50% representing the mid-line) and had a relatively small variation in both plateaus (one standard deviation 5.2% and 7.5%, respectively) as shown in Figure 6.
The results suggest that the cartilage thickness distribution of the distal femoral cartilage was influenced by the knee flexion angle during walking only in the medial compartment. The medial and lateral compartments in the knee have different contact situations according to the shape of the contacting surfaces (Koo and Andriacchi, 2007). The tibiofemoral contact surfaces in the medial compartment are more conforming (convex-concave), so the contact location is sensitive to small differences in knee joint kinematics as described in Figure 7(a). Thus the relatively large variation of the contact locations in the medial condyle could influence the variation of the centroids of thick cartilage.
Conversely, the contact regions in the lateral compartment may not vary as much as in the medial compartment because of the shape of the contact surfaces and the knee joint kinematics. The lateral compartment femoral and tibial surfaces are both convex in shape (Koo and Andriacchi, 2007) so the contact locations are less sensitive to knee joint kinematics than in the medial compartment as described in Figure 7(b). Also the center of rotation of the knee in the transverse plane is predominantly in the lateral compartment of the knee during walking (Koo and Andriacchi, 2008) and produces less contact movement on the lateral side during walking and greater movement in the medial compartment during walking. These kinematical conditions during waking are consistent with the relatively small variation of the centroids of thick femoral cartilage in the lateral compartment as compared to the medial side.
The variation of centroids of thick cartilage region in the tibial cartilage was relatively small for both medial and lateral plateaus (Koo et al., 2005). In our previous study, the average contact location during walking on the tibial cartilage was associated with regional cartilage thickness in anterior cruciate ligament injured subjects (Andriacchi et al., 2009). The cartilage thickness on the tibial plateaus does not change sharply so it is possible that the location of thickest cartilage on the tibia may not represent the functional cartilage adaptation as well as the regional cartilage thickness variation in the femur.
The finding in this study that cartilage thickness adapts to the walking kinematics is consistent with other studies that report that physical activity was positively associated with cartilage volume in a cross-sectional study (Jones et al., 2000) and a longitudinal study (Jones et al., 2003) for healthy children, implying that loading and number of cycles influences cartilage thickness. Similarly Hudelmaier et al. (Hudelmaier et al., 2003) showed that muscle cross-sectional areas were positively associated with knee articular cartilage volumes in healthy subjects. The fact that Eckstein et al. (Eckstein et al., 1998) reported that height, weight and BMI were not significantly correlated with cartilage volume could be related to the fact that activity level was not considered.
Li et al. showed that generally the thick cartilage regions on the femur matched those on the tibia for the tibiofemoral positions taken from the supine position MRI, concluding that "the cartilage was thicker in regions where cartilage-to-cartilage contact was present" (Li et al., 2005). While the study found the associations of thick cartilage locations between the femoral and tibial cartilage, they could not explain the variation of the location depending on the individual knee function.
Taken together, these observations suggest that regional cartilage thickness variations are influenced by both loading and the number of loading cycles. Thus, the mechanics of walking is an important consideration in the analysis of the morphological variations of articular cartilage since it is the dominant cyclic activity of daily living. This observation is also consistent with a previous study that reported that the medial and lateral cartilage thickness variations in the knee are influenced by the peak knee adduction moment during normal walking for healthy and osteoarthritic subjects (Andriacchi et al., 2004a, Andriacchi et al., 2009). It was also reported that the secondary motions, AP translation and IE rotation, in the knee during walking influenced the regional thinning patterns in the subjects with anterior cruciate ligament injuries (Andriacchi et al., 2009).
While the study focused on a healthy population and tested 17 subjects, the statistical result should be accepted carefully. The correlation coefficient for the medial femoral cartilage (R2=0.41) is in the range that can be well accepted in human research, especially with the data from two different modalities – gait and imaging, but this still requires a larger population test to confirm the conclusion statistically.
Results from the current study help explain the mechanism leading to a higher incidence of medial rather than lateral compartment osteoarthritis in the knee in two high risk groups – ACL injured and obese groups. Findings from this study suggest that abnormal knee kinematics at heel strike during walking for ACL injured subjects (Daniel et al., 1994), and knee hyperextension at heel strike during walking for obese subjects (DeVita and Hortobágyi, 2003, Spyropoulos et al., 1991) may influence the tibiofemoral contact regions more in the medial than lateral compartment. The study may contribute to understand the kinematic pathways of knee osteoarthritis suggested in our previous studies (Andriacchi et al., 2004a, Chaudhari et al., 2008, Koo et al., 2007).
Understanding the factors that influence cartilage morphology is important not only to help maintain thicker cartilage, but also to understand the etiology and pathomechanics of osteoarthritis. Biomechanical factors such as kinetic and kinematic conditions during walking should be carefully considered for the treatment of cartilage disease in weight bearing joints.

Hi there! As a quick introduction, I'm a 24 year old girl, living in the Boston area. My health & wellness journey really began in my last few years of college when I began to understand that your overall well-being and performance could be improved upon by incorporating good foods into your diet. As a division I Cross Country and Track & Field college athlete, this was certainly life changing! By year four of college, I was somehow finally able to grasp the key to living and maintaining a healthy lifestyle while enduring all the stresses of college life.
Being an athlete all throughout high school and college taught me the importance of time management – skills I certainly use daily in my new (adult) life. I don't believe that wellness is something you "need" to make time for. It should be something that is engraved in your day-to-day routine. Thought it's always a work in progress, I've somehow been able to balance my life, while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This blog was created to share and provide you with those tips, tricks, and everything in between on how to keep up that balanced routine all the while managing your time and keeping things affordable! Feel free to leave any comments and suggestions please!
Calli Pappas
Eat, Run, and Everything in Between is a blog written from my own perspective. I write about anything that I have an opinion or a belief on, but I'm certainly no professional nutritionist or personal trainer. Any readers should seek further research or advice from a professional if concerned about experimenting with a new meal plan or personal exercise routine.

Walt Disney Animation Studios' 'Zootopia' Holds Red Carpet in Los Angeles
On a rainy Wednesday evening, Walt Disney Animation Studios held the red carpet and world premiere for their 55th animated feature, Zootopia. Cast and crew, alongside Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, walked down the carpet in style and no amount of rain could bring them down.
The El Capitan Theatre hosted the event in honor of the film's release on March 4, 2016. Check out a few of the evening's photos below.
Also, with the appearance of Judy and Nick on the red carpet, does this mean we will get a chance to meet them at a Disney Park in the near future?
The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it's a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when rookie Officer Judy Hopps (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin) arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn't so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde (voice of Jason Bateman), to solve the mystery.

Image publisher Eric Stephenson started the 2012 New York Comic Con Image Panel on Saturday, Oct. 13th by introducing writers Jonathan Hickman, Kieron Gillen, Andy Diggle, James Asmus, Jim McCan, and Jim Festante to the stage.
The announcments began with a new book called Sex Criminals by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky. Satellite Sam, also written by Fraction, will be drawn by Howard Chaykin. This time focusing on Chaykin, Stephenson mentioned an upcoming book by the artist titled Midnight of The Soul.
Kieron Gillen and Ryan Kelly will be working on a take of the popular 300 story entitled Three, a story about Spartan slaves with the 300 warriors hunting after them. "Basically the idea is like most things for a British man, came from me coming home drunk" joked Gillen. Apparently, Gillen got upset by a speech about freedom while reading Frank Miller's 300. "#@$& off," he said, "you people had slaves!"
Andy Diggle and Jock also collaborated on a new Image series entitled Snapshot, a story that, according to Diggle, is five years in the making. "It's a chase book, basically. It's the first work that Jock and I have done that is creator-owned" said Diggle. The person being chased is a comic shop employee who happens upon a hit man's cell phone in a park. The phone is full of evidence of the hit man's murders and he wants it back. The story can be seen now in black and white in Judge Dredd, but will later be released with colors by Lee Loughridge and lettering by Clem Robins, both of The Losers fame.
Alex Zamm's projects were discussed next , with Stephenson showing images for The Surface and a May 2013 debuting series called Zero.
Up next was Jim McCan and Janet K. Lee's Lost Vegas. Lost Vegas will follow Roland, an indentured servant aboard a spaceship casino who is forced into servitude after losing it all. Roland spends his time learning the ins-and-outs of the system and intends to escape.
James Asmus and Jim Festante spoke next about their January debuting series called The Life And End Times Of Bram and Ben. "Jim and I had been friends for a long time in the comedy world" said Asmus. "We got on this big kick about imagining what happens if the apocalypse actually happens… with our slacker idiot friends. We created a narrative that does that, pulling our two best friends into the heart of the end of times."
Then Stephenson announced Ken Kristensen and M.K. Perker's new book Todd, The Ugliest Kid in the World. In describing the book, Stephenson said, "Todd has a lot of problems, and he gets his family into a lot of problems. But if you like Chew, the artwork is amazing."
Lastly, coming in March will be Jonathan Hickman's FBN: Feel Better Now and will follow four psychologists who start toying with the people they help. Then, April brings Jonathan Hickman and Nick Dragotta's East of West, a tale about the horsemen of the apocalypse trying to kill the U.S. president in the future.
That's all for now! Stay tuned to Capeless Crusader for all your Image news!

La dimension culturelle du développement territorial
Taking into account the cultural aspects of development corresponds to an evolution of economic reality but also to an epistemological evolution in spatial and regional economics. After having identified the different meanings of the concept of territory in the literature, we privilege the definition which makes territory a construction of actors who share a specific culture of development. The cultural dimension which is recipient of all development policy is however difficult to integrate into the frame of the standard economic analysis. We therefore still need a significant dialogue between economy and culture.

"When you go to sleep at night, you will most likely never regret a single moment of the time you spend with your family."
Author Unknown.
I am behind two grandfathers in line — a 10% one and a 90% one. The 10% one is complaining about being with his grandchildren, being negative and talking disrespectfully to them and showing them no patience at all.
The 90% one is the exact opposite. When his grandchildren spoke to him, he would go down on one knee so he could look in their face, he spoke kindly and quietly and smiled at them with so much love in his eyes.
The 10% grandfather says to the 90% grandfather, "Isn't it a pain to drag grandchildren around?" The 90% grandfather replies, "Not a pain at all. It is a gift to spend time with them."
– excerpt from Darci's book "Focus on the 90%"
July 2017 — Attitude Booster
Throughout the year, I travel one night a week and then I am home to spin my life around. I work, cook, clean and do laundry. I make life 90% perfect for everyone at home and then I go again. I have a balanced life and I try to live in the present moment but the travel tends to put me in a state of "NEXT!"
I had an incredible speaking season and stayed at some incredible places, but it has not been with its shortage of 10% days. I have dealt with hotel power outages, fire alarms, cancelled flights, storm delays, missed hotel and car rental bookings and I even experienced my first ever (and very frightening) shooter scare in an airport.
Every week I meet dozens – sometimes hundreds – of people. The energy exchange when I speak is extremely important to me but what happens afterwards means the most. Once I am finished speaking, I have handfuls of people come and tell me their stories, and this is what stays with me. I sit on dark airplanes and I close my eyes thinking of, and praying for, them. I get to impact others and they in turn impact me; it is the greatest trade-off.
At home I deal with making time for myself, my marriage, my friends and all that goes with raising teenagers. In addition to these meaningful relationships, I am nursing a very sick cat.
Summer is the time that I purposefully move from "NEXT!" to… Now. Summer is when I unplug and let this busy brain decompress.
I catch up on much needed sleep (well, as much as I can with teenagers coming and going). I unplug as much as possible. I eat beautiful food and commit to something physical every day. I wake up before everyone else to spend quiet, reflective, meditative time alone and I'll do all I can to stay on that deck all day.
Summer is the time for us to move away from "NEXT!" and move to… now.
June 2017 Attitude Booster
As part of a project, our son John's high school class was asked, "What is on your bucket list?" John raised his hand and said, "To be a Dad". The teacher emailed me to say that clearly my husband was a great father for my son to put "being a dad" on his bucket list. I told him that he was right, Darren is a wonderful father.
Parenting has had many 90% days in our house and it also has had its 10%s. We have parented through Darren's depression, Jayda's health challenges and John's anxieties. We have traveled together as a family dozens and dozens of times. We have attended the funerals of our moms, family members and friends. We have had to say good bye to our beloved family pets.
All the while my husband has stepped up as a father. Even during his very difficult depression days there was not a time when Darren did not try. He sought counselling, read books, attended seminars and finally found the right medication. He apologized when he made a mistake and hosted endless family meetings where we could talk about how each of us felt. I often tell my children that despite the 10%s they have a dad who never stops striving to be a better father.
Darren's dad died when he was eight years old. No one taught him how to be a great father, he had to learn on his own. So to Darren, my dad and all of the dads, grandfathers, uncles, and other men who impact children's lives:
Happy Fathers Day.
So grateful for the opportunity!
074 – True Leaders Genuinely Care & Focus on the 90%, with Darci Lang
Today I turn 48 and I will celebrate 24 years of speaking. For half of my life, I have been a motivational speaker. I have learned a lot in 48 years.
I have learned:
Birthdays are celebrations. I tear up looking at my Mom's and mother-in-law's pictures, wishing they were still with me.
You have to learn to see your past through a 90% lens. Seeing through the 10% will affect your quality of life. Heal your wounds.
Tell everyone how grateful you are to have the job you have. It will teach them to be proud of their work and you will be a magnet in the world.
Only complain three times about your 10%s and then do something about it.
Marriages need love and attention. I love Darren, the man I have shared half of my life with.
Teenagers need us to be rested and nourished, so we can take care of them with patience and understanding. Being a mom is far more important than being a speaker.
The small choices you make everyday to take care of yourself not only pay off in how you feel today but later on as well.
Learn to love yourself, even if no one taught you how to. The world will mirror that back to you.
Go celebrate today… I know I will!
In the book, "Modern Tales of Ancient Wisdom" Rhonda Victoor (one my favourite speaker friends) challenges me on how I look at the 10%s in my life. ,
When a 10% situation appears, either in a day-to-day small way or a big life event, I have always been the type of person who asks, "What am I supposed to learn from this situation?" I have spent many years pondering that question and learning the lessons. It has worked really well in my business, dealing with deaths in the family, my husband's depression, my son's anxiety and many other life lessons.,
Rhonda's question, "What do I need to practice?" challenges us to go a step further and put the lesson into action. ,
She lists a few of these words as suggestions; patience, respect, empathy, intuition, love for them, courage, self-care, quiet reflection, humility, trust and boundaries. ,
I have been trying that. When I feel faced with a 10% situation I now challenge myself with the question, "What do I need to practice?" I then observe the situation and move my magnifying glass to the 90% and ask, "Do I need to love this person? Do I need to create a boundary around this relationship? Do I need some self-care to better deal with this?" This helps me to learn the lesson and a new way to respond. ,
The next time you are faced with a 10% situation, ask yourself, "What might I practice here? How can this positive practice be an influence on the situation?" ,
Rhonda's book can be found here.
Deep breath,
http://www.godvine.com/ is a great feel good sites. It has real stories of people and animals doing things to make the world a better place.
Another great site is: https://www.thedodo.com/ It contains real situations of people and animals showing compassion towards one another during some extreme times of need. A very feel good site.
Thank you Henry for sharing this story during my presentation.
"I know a very happy woman that I do business with. I asked her, "How are you so happy all the time."
She said, "In my business, I have the chance to meet about 20 people a day. If I am kind to those 20 people and make their day a little better, then I believe that those 20 people go out into the world happier and my kindness affects everyone. Not only the people I have met but all of the people that they then meet in their day."
How true. I say that our attitude ripples out to those that we work with, those that we serve and those we go home to at the end of the night.
I have met a lot of people with very stressful jobs. If you are in a job that is very stressful it is really important that your personal life is full and happy to balance that stress. It is very hard to cope when our tanks are depleted. The book Crisis of Spirit reminds me that our lives must be an offset of the stress we feel at work.

Kiera and Joey met online. Joey had some odd hoops for Kiera to jump through to prove she was real, including sticking a pen up her ass! Naturally, once they met in person, Joey had something larger in mind to put in there....

How hard is it to be a mother? After all, I thought of what this parenting thing really entails. Before I gave birth to my dear Summer, I am pretty excited yet scared because I am about to make a huge step in my life. Sure, I knew it's going to be hard including changing lots of diapers and even lose sleep every now and then. Continue reading "Stepping Into Motherhood"

Dealing with Baby Blues
After I gave birth to Alessandria Summer, I was overjoyed because I can finally hold the baby that I had in my womb for 9 months. During my days in the hospital, me and my husband always visit our baby in the NICU just to see her and check how she's doing. After 3 days in the hospital, we already went home together with our little bundle of joy. The first week was really hard for me. I had a sudden feeling of sadness, anxiety,mood swings, and restlessness. I had bouts of crying and irritability. Continue reading "Dealing with Baby Blues"
My Beautiful Transformation
You're probably wondering what kind of transformation I am referring to in my title. First of all, life is interesting. Why? It is full of unforeseen events. I don't know what lies ahead of me that's why I always have a diverse of feelings. During my preadulthood and as I age, I kept on wondering what is the purpose of my life.

I Choose Happiness
It's been months when 2014 started. Actually, it has been such a good welcome to me especially with my new found friends and love ones. But as weeks, days and hours passed by, it seemed not to be so good. Some things had changed. There's this instance wherein I have to deal with such pain and unhappy moments. I even blamed myself for letting that happen to me.
You can not easily drop a person out of your mind. Especially when that person left a special mark on your heart. Yes, once in a while those memories will just pop into my mind, but with no hard feelings and tears, just a smile on my face.
I know those certain things that happened before couldn't be forgotten but if I learn to let go of it, I can have the chance of freeing myself out of misery.
Just like what the good life quote said, "Life goes on" and I must stick to that. I realized that there are so much to look forward to. I won't be able to find it if I keep on looking backwards. And the only key to that is by being HAPPY 🙂
Happy people are the most beautiful one.
There's gon' be some stuff we see that's gonna make it hard to smile in the future. But through whatever we see, through all the rain and the pain, we gotta keep our sense of humor, we gotta be able to smile through all this s***.

Being totally happy will work if you like what you do, believe all things will work out just fine, see the world for yourself, and have fun! Enjoy life, go forth, don't hesitate, whatever situation you may find in, whatever heartbreak, get over it and laugh it off. If you're dancing your way through, who knows.. someone just might dance with you 😉
Continue to share your heart with people even if it has been broken. Don't treat your heart like an action figure wrapped in plastic and never used.
Life's short, don't waste it being sad. Be who you are, be happy, be free. Be whatever you want to be.

CSKT officials are asking the public to keep an eye out for suspicious behavior after a series of fires have popped up around the Flathead Indian Reservation.
A network of five fires north of Thompson falls Near Highway 2 is currently being fought by over 200 firefighters.
A Type Two Incident Management Team took over the Lazier Creek 3 fire this morning, July 11, which is burning in a rural area between Thompson Falls and Libby.

Fire season is well underway in the Bitterroot National Forest where crews are working to take down two fires that were detected over the past few days.
Missoula Fire crews were called out to a blaze at the Travelers Inn motel off of North Reserve Street Early Friday morning. Fire chief Jeff Brandt says the fire was called in at around 5:20 a.m.
Western Montana has been extremely wet this spring and fire season may seem like it's a long ways off, but the Missoula Rural Fire Department Captain Michael Bowman says crews had a run in on Wednesday with an out-of-control, controlled burn.
The Missoula Fire Department responded to a small fire that broke out early Thursday morning in the South Hills.
Early Monday morning, The Frenchtown Rural Fire department was called out to help deal with a fire in Lake County.

Contributing Sports Writer
Rogers Activity Center looked a little different when the Peewee B1 teams from Rogers and Andover walked through the doors for their game on Jan. 25.
The crowd was abnormally large, and fans of both teams flooded in the main lobby of the arena entrance, waiting to see the look on the kids' faces when they walked through the door. Camera crews were set up to ambush the kids as they walked in, making them feel like celebrities.
Still, the 11- to 12-year-old youth hockey players had no idea what they were in for.
"I think it is really cool to see the Minnesota Wild's commitment to youth hockey and high school hockey," said Anthony LaPanta, the Wild's television play-by-play announcer. "I'm amazed by the crowd they have here tonight and the turnout locally. I think it's just great."
The Minnesota Wild started something they call "Wild Spotlight" this season, a chance to give back to local communities and allow younger hockey players the chance to see what it would feel like to be a professional player for a night. The team brings in everyone from Adam Abrams, the Wild's in-arena announcer, to James Bohn, the Wild National Anthem singer, to make it feel like a real game. The locker rooms are decked out in Wild apparel for both teams, as well as a special guest that acts as the coach for the game.
"It's a really need experience for these young kids," former NHL player Wes Walz said. "You can just see the smile on their faces when they are out there. To be able to experience something like this is a memory that they will never forget."
The Rogers and Andover communities packed the Rogers Ice Arena, a place usually relatively quiet, even when the Rogers High School boys and girls high school teams play their home games there. Many players from both high school teams were in attendance, seeing recognizable faces from TV like Walz, LaPanta, and Mike Greenlay, one of the Wild Television analysts. The crowd from both schools did a great job keeping the whole showcase a secret from the Peewee hockey players as well, making it even cooler when the players entered the locker room to see new Wild bags next to their own hockey equipment.
"To come out here, middle of the week, for a Peewee game and be able to fill an arena is great," said Kevin Falness, Wild radio network host. "You just watch their faces as they talk to Wes Walz or watch them with an Anthony LaPanta or Mike Greenlay, who they see on TV. You can just tell it means a lot to them."
This is just this second Wild Spotlight that the NHL team has done and the first one for boys youth hockey players. The team traveled to Stillwater a couple weeks prior to Jan. 25, putting on a spotlight for youth girls hockey players. The production takes a lot of planning, making sure that all the schedules line up perfectly and aren't affected by any of the many Wild games and events that go along with being a part of the team. The Wild crew was in Dallas the night before, with the team winning in a shootout to the Dallas Stars.
"These kids live for those games," LaPanta said, talking about the amount of support that youth players give to the Wild. "Everywhere I go in the rink tonight, parents and players all want to talk about the game last night. If the Wild want to create a night like this, we are willing to do it and spend an off night doing something cool like this."
The Rogers Peewee B1 team defeated Andover 5-1 on Wednesday night, with both teams posing together after for a photo with all Wild personnel who were able to make the night special and make these preteens feel like they were NHL superstars. No hockey game is complete without post-game interviews though, and as Husky and Royal skaters came off the ice, a couple of them were directed to the swarm of media to answer questions about their experience.
"Even though I played in the National Hockey League, we still remember when we were young," Walz said after the game. "A lot of retired players and a lot of players who are still playing are cognizant of how important it is to give back to the communities because we remember these days."
Falness and LaPanta handled the interviews while Walz talked to other fans who had made their way to the bleachers to get a close up of a former NHL player and the rest of the crew that came along for the game. Fans chatted with Walz and Bohn, asked them an abundance of questions as they smiled and politely answered all of them with style and grace.
"I can't imagine what this would be like, as a young boy, doing this in front of an Al Shaver for example," Falness said about how lucky these kids should feel. "The cool thing is that these guys are physically creating memories for these kids. I mean this is just a really neat and cool experience and something that will impact these kids in a really positive way."
As the crowd started to disperse, Walz started making his way back to the Rogers locker room, giving them a post-game talk after their big win. He admired their innocence, thinking back and saying that many of them were only four or five when he retired from playing the game he loved.
"I retired like ten years ago so I'm not sure they all remember me," Walz said with a grin. "I'm sure they are going to go home and Google me and try to find out who I was."

Tonight, We Are Augustines are getting a big television introduction. In many ways, the trio has been through a number of those — introductions and reintroductions, that is.
Billy McCarthy and Eric Sanderson originally played together in Brooklyn band Pela. One of the group's EPs was released by Brassland, founded by the guys in The National (and, for fans, the similarities between the two bands is quite striking). That business relationship floundered. Then Pela shacked up with Great Society, the shambolic spin-off label of the World's Fair management company founded by Flaming Lips manager Scott Booker. The release of full-length "Anytime Graffiti" was a weirdly soft release, with a leg in 2007 and 2008, and the band ultimately severed ties there, too.
Even having toured and opened for the aforementioned artists, plus those like Sonic Youth and the Decemberists, there was always this feeling that Pela petered on the edge of totally eating it or getting really, really big. Business just never went their way.
Instead, Pela dissolved in 2009, with Sanderson and McCarthy going on to We Are Augustines.
"Over the past 2 years we"ve faced tremendous obstacles. We recorded an album twice, had a falling out/legal battle with our old label, fired 2 managers, had a big record deal fall through," read part of the wrap-up on Pela's site.
The Augustinian transition was even marked with tragedy: McCarthy's brother, who was mentally ill, committed suicide after having spent years in solitary confinement in a California prison. The emotional impact of that, plus the exhausting traditional label system having had its way with the band previously, made for a very new and different band.
In 2011, We Are Augustines released their first album "Rise Ye Sunken Ships," a set that consisted partly of songs McCarthy had written for Pela's second full-length outing. Taking on drummer Rob Allen, the group then released the album themselves through their own Oxcart label, backed by devotees like KEXP's John Richards. "Sunken Ships" was amped by single "Chapel Song," which has just the right amount of poison and sugar, with an impactful music video to match (below).
Last year, the band also toured in the U.K. five or six times, with the help from band fans like the Boxer Rebellion. Like The National did prior to "Boxer," We Are Augustines are enjoying even greater success overseas than they are here in the U.S. For now.
Because it appears that the trio are about ready for another reintroduction.
We Are Augustines are making their late night television debut tonight (Feb. 24) on "The Late Show with David Letterman," performing "Chapel Song." They head to the UK again in March before their South By Southwest shows and then will take the stage at Coachella in April, on the same day that Radiohead is headlining. They'll be opening for Band of Skulls (who just released their impressive "Sweet Sour") throughout the spring, on top of that, and were among the many big-name artists on the "Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International" compilation, released last month.
Above, I interview the band after they played a set at the Sundance Film Festival. The group talks about the upshot of running your own label in these troubled times, their fantasy of playing with a cab-driving sitar player, and why deserts keep showing up in McCarthy's lyrics. What was that about Juarez?
And don't forget their impromptu version of "We Built This City."

Putin demands Dutch apology over diplomat amid Greenpeace row
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday demanded that the Netherlands apologise after a diplomat working for the Russian embassy in The Hague was detained by police and questioned for hours.
"This is the most gross breach of the Vienna Convention. We are waiting for explanations and apologies and also for those guilty to be punished," Putin said at a regional summit in Indonesia.
"We will react depending on how the Dutch side behaves," he said at a news conference.
Ties between Russia and the Netherlands deteriorated sharply after Russian investigators last week charged 30 crew members of Greenpeace's Dutch-flagged Arctic Sunrise ship with piracy over a protest against Arctic oil drilling.
The Netherlands hit back by taking legal action to free the activists who face up to 15 years in jail.
In a fresh spat, the Russian foreign ministry said Dutch police raided the apartment of diplomat Dmitry Borodin at the weekend and beat him up before taking him to a police station for questioning on accusations of mistreating his children.
"Armed people in camouflage uniform stormed the apartment of Borodin, a minister counsellor at the Russian embassy, and roughly beat up the diplomat in front of his children, on the absolutely made-up excuse that he allegedly mistreated them," foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich told the Interfax news agency.
"This was done after Mr Borodin explained he was a diplomat. It's well known that the residence of any diplomat cannot be touched," he added.
"Our diplomat was put in handcuffs and taken to a police station where he was held almost all night," Lukashevich said.
"After that he was let go without any explanations or apologies."
The Russian foreign ministry on Tuesday handed a note of protest to the Dutch ambassador over the incident.
Ambassador Ron van Dartel refused to comment on leaving the ministry in Moscow, Rossiya 24 state television reported.
The foreign ministry in a statement called for "official apologies to the Russian side and Borodin's family" as well as compensation for the material and "moral" damage caused.
"A proposal has been made to the Dutch side to give comprehensive explanations by 6:00 pm today (1400 GMT)," the ministry said.
The Netherlands has yet to comment on the incident.
"We are aware of the incident and are looking into it before commenting," a spokesman at the Dutch foreign ministry, Thijs van Son, told AFP.
Dutch police refused to comment.
'Tit-for-tat tactics'
Borodin, who has a four-year-old daughter and a two-year-old son, told the state ITAR-TASS news agency that police told him his neighbours had reported ill treatment of the children.
He said he was pinned to the floor and also "received a blow to the head with a truncheon".
He said he was now suffering from high blood pressure "evidently because of this incident".
The press attache of the Russian embassy in the Netherlands, Sofia Sarenkova, said Borodin was treated in hospital after his detention.
"He suffered from a beating, as far as I know," she told AFP.
The Kremlin children's envoy, Pavel Astakhov, a lawyer who has harshly criticised ill treatment of Russian children adopted abroad, said that the diplomat had been treated unfairly.
"So far instead of a fair legal investigation, there has been a diplomatic scandal with the grossest breach of basic international agreements," he wrote on Twitter.
Kremlin-connected political analyst Fyodor Lukyanov suggested that the Dutch actions could be part of a Cold War-style tit-for-tat.
"In the Cold War years, such incidents used to happen with Soviet diplomats in the West or Western diplomats in the USSR," he told the state news agency RIA Novosti.
"Special services used to resort to this in the most extreme cases. Possibly, the Dutch representatives considered what is happening now with the Arctic Sunrise to be such an extreme case."

do you know what I'm seeing? // panic! at the disco
anonymous asked:
Imagine: small time YouTuber doing a video about learning how to ice skate. Keeps falling, asks the only person on the rink who looks like he knows what he's doing. Post a video afterwards and wonders why it blows up. Finding out it was olympic gold medalist Yuuri Katsuki. Cue flashbacks of funny things that were said: "Wow you're really good! You could be an olympian!"-"i could be" etc.
