Legacy Of Tokyo Olympics: What Did Tokyo Look Like Before And After The 1964 Summer Olympics?
Tokyo will host the 2020 Olympics Summer Games. The last time Tokyo hosted Summer Olympics in 1964, many of the new infrastructures and landmarks were built specifically to accommodate foreign visitors. Those legacies are still seen in different spots of Tokyo today.

12 Amazing Before-And-After Pictures Of Rescue Dogs Show Just How Far A Little Love Can Go
The Trio Animal Foundation shared some of their heartwarming stories with BuzzFeed. Note: Photos are mildly graphic.
TAF is a charity that pays the medical bills of homeless pets, along with promoting adoption and responsible pet ownership.
Valentine
"TAF received a call from our local shelter that a German shepherd puppy had been surrendered by her owner with deformities on her front arms. We named her Valentine and took her to several vets to get different opinions about what could possibly be done. The top orthopedic surgeon in the area performed two extensive surgeries on her arms. Valentine went through weeks of rehab and we were pleased that while her arms would never be perfectly straight, she was pain-free and had much more mobility."
Farmer
"On a trip to the local city pound we came across a dog with open sores all over his body, with horribly swollen and raw paws. He wouldn’t even lift his head to acknowledge we were there. We begged for an early medical release since this boy was in so much pain. Farmer spent weeks at the vet on IV antibiotics and pain meds as they tried to figure out what was going on with his skin. Months later he is healed and ready for adoption!"
Stellar
"Stellar was surrendered at a local shelter by her owners. Her ears had clearly been cut at home and she was so incredibly sad. On one of our visits, PRC [Project Rescue Chicago] was with us and agreed to take her into their adoption program. She was vetted, bathed, and went to a foster home where she lived with another dog and two cats. Not long after, Stellar met her perfect match and was adopted."

How Chris Messina Became That Guy You See In Everything
If you’ve paid attention to indie film over the past few years, there’s a good chance you’re familiar with Chris Messina’s work — but he wasn’t always one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actors. In his own words, Messina recounts a career trajectory full of challenges, from getting cut out of a Meryl Streep movie and nearly quitting the business to stumbling over Aaron Sorkin’s complex dialogue on The Newsroom.
Electric City
Chris Messina refuses to say he's the hardest working man in Hollywood.
And that's fair — there are countless actors out there struggling to be seen, putting in thankless hours in an effort to break through. Messina was once one of them. Now that he's found mainstream success, starring on The Mindy Project and premiering his directorial debut Alex of Venice at the Tribeca Film Festival, he is grateful for all his opportunities, as stressful as they sometimes are.
"There comes a time when you have to refill the well, so it'll be nice when things slow down a bit and I can take a breath," he admits. Sitting on the patio at Santa Monica's Palihouse, Messina looks almost peaceful, a stark contrast to the litany of obligations he's rattling off. "I finished last season of The Mindy Project, and then started prepping [Alex of Venice] at the end of that season. And then I went into a few Newsroom episodes, and then went off and shot the film, and then had two weeks off, and then went back to The Mindy Project, where I began editing the film. And then I did that throughout the entire season. The Mindy Project just ended and only last night did I finish working on the sound for the film."
While he's not one to complain, he'll at least concede that, for a time, he was working too hard.
"It was a bit stupid on my part to take on that much, and I think everything suffers when you do that much," Messina says. "I think your work suffers, your relationships suffer. Some of the decisions I was making were with only a couple hours of sleep, so I hope to direct another movie again, but I would never do that with anything else. I would like to clear the deck."
Beth Dubber
Alex of Venice — in which Messina also stars — is his film directorial debut. He was offered the project by producers Jamie Patricof and Lynette Howell, who previously collaborated on Blue Valentine and The Place Beyond the Pines, among others.
But it was Alex of Venice's screenplay that made Messina commit to directing.
"The script spoke to me," he says. "I recognized myself and my family and my friends and all the people I know and love in each and every one of these characters, so I wanted to give it a shot."
Messina had directed theatrical productions before, and he'd also coached friends he put on tape for films. But Alex of Venice was a unique challenge — while he was excited to take it on, he was plagued by the standard insecurities.
"When you're doing it, you're going, What the fuck am I doing? Am I screwing this up?" he says. "But the train has already taken off and you're committed and you've cast it, and you're a couple days into the film, and you're hoping that you don't mess it up because the script was so great."
Messina's career as a whole reflects an actor (now director) always looking for a way to push himself further, often at the expense of his sanity and sleep schedule. His rise from barely working actor to indie everyman speaks to his smart career choices — and yes, his occasional need to bite off more than he can chew.
"It is exhausting," Messina says. "And I have two children."

This Woman Had Her Face Photoshopped In Over 25 Countries To Examine Global Beauty Standards
Through her work, Esther Honig hopes to discover if a global beauty standard actually exists.
Original, unaltered photograph of artist.

Moroccan interpretation of beauty.
Esther Honig, a freelance journalist based out of Kansas City, sent an unaltered photograph of herself to more than 40 Photoshop aficionados around the world. "Make me beautiful," she said, hoping to bring to light how standards of beauty differ across various cultures.
The project, titled Before & After, originally came to Honig while she was working as a social media manager for a small startup. Her boss introduced her to Fiverr, an international freelancing website where anyone can hire freelancers from around the globe to complete almost any task imaginable. While browsing the site, Honig realized the prevalence of those offering Photoshop skills. "It immediately occurred to me that in this pool of workers, each individual likely had an aesthetic preference particular to their own culture," Honig told BuzzFeed. Thus, the idea for Before & After was born.
Working with freelancers in over 25 countries, Honig expected that the images would differ from country to country, but was herself caught off guard by just how drastically some of the images were altered. "Seeing some jobs for the first time made me shriek... Other times images, like the one from Morocco, took my breath away because they were far more insightful than I could have expected," Honig said.
To be sure, the images Honig has collected so far are interesting as individual images, a unique portrait of the standards of beauty in each country. However, when taken in totality, the project becomes much more striking, an interesting launching point into a global conversation about unattainable beauty standards around the world. "What I've learned from the project is this: Photoshop [may] allow us to achieve our unobtainable standards of beauty, but when we compare those standards on a global scale, achieving the ideal remains all the more illusive."
Below are the photographs that Honig has collected thus far. Note: Some countries have multiple images from different artists. Honig continues her project on her website.
