Near-Fatal Leg Infection: How Mark Beat a Superbug
Warning - some readers might find the very graphic wound images in this article disturbing. Please do not continue reading if you will be upset by medical images depicting MRSA and cellulitis.
In our series "When Our Worst Leads to Our Best" we find inspiration from real-life stories of people hit completely out of the blue. They might have suffered from a global health pandemic, the sudden loss of a job, a chronic health diagnosis or, in this case, the very real risk of losing a limb and even possibly life. We explore how in these moments of adversity we have the ability to find greatness - bottomless levels of resolve, headstrong pragmatism in the face of chaos, and an inner peace that comes with surrendering to things outside of our control. We hope you enjoy the series and this incredible story.
It was anything but routine.
Medically speaking it's called a 'high tibial osteotomy'. In layman's terms it's a surgical leg break to realign the bone and to take pressure off the knee. Plates and screws are inserted to keep it in place. Two months later you might be at last off crutches and three to six months later you might be back to walking normally. The point is you've kept your real knee, which is always going to be a better outcome than having it replaced by an artificial one.
Unless, of course, you lose your entire leg, which is very much how things started to look for Mark three weeks in.
But let's rewind a moment.
Avoiding a knee replacement
For Personal Trainer and corrective exercise specialist Mark, the writing had been on the wall for decades. He'd gone in for other knee related operations twice previously, but he knew a total replacement was coming. Then his consultant told him a high tibial osteotomy was an option, and he knew it was for him. He wanted to keep his real knee. His specialist agreed this was the right path, but now wasn't the time.
"I want you to come to me in agony, begging for it," said the surgeon. "You are so active and this is such significant surgery that we have to wait until you really are desperate," he said.
The pain to date was already bad, but Mark could tolerate it. Exceptionally fit, he was probably at least 25 - 30 years physically younger than his actual age of 59. His body was conditioned to handle a lot of discomfort, so normal life resumed. A year later and Mark's knee catastrophically failed him. Every step was painful. He couldn't bend or straighten his leg without it shooting shocking, acute pain to his knee. Every step was diabolical. He contacted his surgeon.
"I now know what you mean. I'm ready and I'm begging," he said.
High tibial osteotomy surgery
Despite the gravitas of the operation, it all went like clockwork. He was under the knife for a couple of hours, in hospital recovering for a few days, and then back at home on pain killers and using crutches. Everything went swimmingly.
Until it didn't.
Three weeks later he was in his kitchen chopping veggies when the knee began to throb. He decided he'd go sit down. The pain didn't abate, it escalated ten-fold. It was the worst pain he'd ever experienced. He took some of the morphine left over from the early postoperative days. Nothing. He waited 40 minutes and took some more. It didn't even touch the sides. By the following day Mark's girlfriend rushed him to A&E. He has no recollection of this day; the pain was so intolerable his mind was shutting down. The leg had turned red by this point. The surgeon confirmed the situation was not normal and there was very likely an infection. They agreed on another operation to go in, clean it out, stitch him back and send him on his merry way within two to four days.
Little did he know, but within two days Mark was at risk of losing his entire leg, if not his life.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus - a bacterial superbug
Following this unexpected second round of surgery Mark was placed (through IV) on a wide-spectrum antibiotic (or as he was told, the medical equivalent to bleach) for two hours a day. Two days later and he was given the news - he had MRSA and he was by no means out of the woods. MRSA is not 'gold staph', it's far more dangerous and more challenging to treat because it's resistant to all but for a small number of super antibiotics. It's a very super, very bad bug indeed.
To make matters worse for Mark, it was in the bone and not the flesh. As a result his leg had started to become very badly discoloured with cellulitis, so painful he was unable to get out of bed for two weeks.
What runs through your head when you risk losing your leg and even your life?
Mark welled up when doctors told him the news. This kind of thing didn't happen to him. He was so fit and healthy and vital. He was invincible. Yet now here he was with one of the deadliest bacterial bugs in his body, and at risk of not only losing a leg but even his life.
What happened next might surprise you. It certainly surprised Mark. Within minutes he was at peace with it all. He could have panicked, he could have broken down, he could have despaired. Yet strangely and unexpectedly, a sense of calm washed over him. Right here right now, he was in control of very little. Freaking out would not help his cause. What makes him so special to think this can't happen to him? If he lost a leg, he lost a leg. But he would focus on keeping his life and getting through this. He would remain calm and if they did indeed need to amputate, that's when he would cross that bridge. Not before.
Mark thinks this whole calm-down narrative went through his head in a matter of minutes. His pragmatism and peace seemed incongruous to his situation. He never knew he had this in him, and it pleased him to make this discovery. In fact, he began to feel as if he might be the calmest person in the room. He did his best to make light of the situation and try to relax the nerves of those around him.
He remained in hospital for three weeks. He was on antibiotics by IV every day for at least two hours and blood taken every day for testing. In Mark's words, they gave him elephant doses. The only way to confirm MRSA had fully left his body would be to open him up and look. So to avoid doing that a third time the medical team opted to kill it, and then kill it again, just to be sure. His medication changed twice and he was the first patient in London Bridge Hospital to be administered one particular strain of antibiotic, Dalbumycin. In the meantime, however, the wound split open and would not heal, so he was returned to surgery a third time to relieve a haematoma (pressure had been developing behind the wound) and to have new edges created so that the wound could close.
Three weeks later and Mark - life and limb still present - headed home.
Healing via the gut
Now Mark was back in control of his life he made a decision to do four things:
Eat fermented food every day
Increase his probiotics the moment he came off his antibiotics (but until then maintain good probiotics alongside the antibiotics)
Increase his serve of collagen supplements (which he had been taking for some time already)
Come back stronger than ever
Can collagen heal leaky gut? We find out in our blog.
He did this because he knew the key to his recovery, and sustaining good health, was all in his gut. He needed to get his gut's microbiome just right, so that he could optimise his immune system. The fermented food and collagen would help do this. He was hoping that along with the use of a red light, the collagen would also assist to minimise his scar tissue, which was now significant following the operations, 20 staples, and severe cellulitis. Two weeks later and his leg was on track for an astounding recovery. The wound was healing brilliantly and Mark felt fantastic.
He was back and on his way to being better than ever.
King of smoothies
Mark's daily smoothie has a huge role to play in his optimal health. Depending on where he is at in his training programme he will either make it calorie-dense or not. If he feels like an extra bit of sweetness every now and again he will add chocolate. The recipe is jam-packed with nutrition, vitamins, minerals and goodness.
Avocado - half
Big lump of fresh ginger
Fresh turmeric
Steel-cut oats
C8 oil (also known as MCT oil)
Edible Health Bovine Collagen Powder supplement
The best collagen recipes are here on our blog - discover and devour!
No surprises that even with his physical life, this smoothie sustains Mark until well into the afternoon, when he will have a salad lunch around 2pm. He even has his 82 year-old mother on a slightly similar routine, and he says she's in incredible form.
For Mark, age is not the enemy. It's a cliche for good reason, because attitude really is everything. When he explains to his clients what he wants them to do in training and they tell him they can't do that, he always has the same response:
"Yet. You can't do that yet".
He focuses on their physical training, absolutely, but he also is conscious of opening their minds to untapped possibility and potential. He knows from experience now that when you face absolute adversity, you can push through. All those years of life, everything you've learned along the way; there comes a moment when you're tested and you need to cash it all in. You need to draw on those experiences and unleash those reserves of strength and resilience.
Nothing has ever got the better of Mark, not even MRSA. That knowledge doesn't over-inflate his ego, it just gives him a quiet confidence. He's been tested, and he knows he has the reserves to get through.

"Senses is the latest in chef driven menus/restaurants in Aruba. We've been to the others in Aruba several times and this is another winner. Food was both very creative and tasteful. We enjoy being surprised with new courses and combinations of food that we would have never thought of – an incredible evening for the tastebuds!. They only seat 16 people per night so it's imperative to make reservations well in advance. Fun night meeting and talking to the other guests between courses discussing the food and the wine, too. If you love food and trying new creative dishes this is your place!" Link to original review on TripAdvisor: A Culinary Feast!
"We had a fabulous experience at Senses during our stay in Aruba. It's a tasting experience of 5-8 courses, available for only 16 guests each evening. We have a number of dietary restrictions, and when we reached out to explain prior to reserving, we were pretty sure they would be unable to accommodate us, but we were dead wrong! For the courses that needed adjustment, we were as delighted with our creations as the other guests were with theirs. When we arrived, we were greeted by Sebastian, our delightful and attentive host. After we were seated at the circular bar to enjoy our own private cooking show, we met Chef Kelt, a culinary artist extraordinaire. Every dish gets close attention, and he takes meticulous care to ensure the look and taste are exceptional. Everything was delicious, especially the truly unique desserts! We will return any time we visit Aruba. Worth every cent!" Link to original review on TripAdvisor: Far surpassed our expectations!
"First time I have ever experienced this type of dining experience and my wife and I had a fantastic time. Bas Kruisselbrink and Kelt Hugo Maat did an excellent job entertaining us and preparing our delicious 8 course meal. The wine pairing was excellent also. It is just a unique experience and one that we will repeat the next time we go to Aruba." Link to original review on TripAdvisor: A unique and fun experience!
"Each bite brought another gasp of amazement. The 8 courses were perfectly paired with wine from across the globe. This was our first 'table' experience, but the bar has been set tremendously high. Chef Kelt and host Bas are approachable and genuine. If you're looking for an unforgettable experience, make this a must on your visit to Aruba." Link to original review on TripAdvisor: A-Maz-Ing!. Wow!
"On our annual trek to the world's most beautiful beach in Aruba, we always take a night out for a special treat, dinner at the tasting menu restaurant at Bucuti Beach Resort. This trip, we found that the Carte Blanche restaurant had moved from this venue and had been replaced by Senses Fine Dining restaurant. Executive Chef Kelt Hugo Maat and Maitre D` Bas (Sebastian) Kruisselbrink have continued the model created by Carte Blanche Chef Dennis and Maitre D' Glen in the same space, serving only a limited number of guests at each seating at a bar surrounding and overlooking the kitchen for a very personal, face-to-face experience. A tasting menu of 5 to 8 courses (explained as 5 traditional courses plus some extras) is prepared while the guests watch and try to guess what is involved. The Chef then explains each course in detail after the food is placed in front of you and the Maitre D' describes the accompanying wine (if you elect the wine pairing).
Although this restaurant is only 3 weeks old, we knew we were in for an interesting experience when, after being welcomed with a glass of Prosecco, we were presented with an amuse bouche consisting of a large, perfectly spherical 'cherry' that had been created by enveloping a 'marble' of foie gras in a coating of cherry gelatin. "How does he do that?" was heard from most of the guests. Our mouths were very amused by the unexpected textures and wonderful flavors!
Our first course of local red snapper had been prepared sous vide with a layer of olive tamponade replacing the skin, and the rendered and dried skin was added back to the composition as a crispy 'chip'. The pairing with a Salvestrin Napa valley Sauvignon Blanc was delightful. The second course of lobster ravioli was plated over cubes of fennel root topped with a creamy chardonnay sauce, decorated with fennel blossoms, dill, and nasturtiums, and paired well with a 2015 Napa Valley chardonnay from Rutherford Ranch. A complex roll of chicken meat with pistachio nuts was cooked to perfection sous vide and topped with a glistening, extreme reduction of chicken stock, and accompanied by a small pile of 'snow' sprinkled with spinach leaves. The 'snow' turned out to be a pure white concoction of desiccated and powdered bacon!
After this delight we were given a granité au citron palate cleanser and invited to take a break.
Once again the Chef's skill with sous vide cooking emerged with melt-in-your-mouth short ribs plated over fingerling potatoes in a bed of puréed peas, lapped with a beef bone reduction sauce and accompanied by a 2014 Melée Granache red from Tuck Beckstoffer of Oakville California. The desert course was actually two; a flower pot filled with intense chocolate mousse and a berry mousse 'doughnut' decorated with a desiccated strawberry 'chip', berries and flowers. Both were paired with a Taylor Fladgate First Estate Reserve Porto.
Overall, the food reflected that modern blend of traditional French cooking (e.g., hours long reductions for sauces) combined with the newest 'molecular' methods of cooking (e.g., sous vide and freeze drying) to tickle all your senses, not just your taste buds. Perhaps that's why the restaurant is called SENSES? For a three-week-old restaurant, this one tasted like success, so reservations will become harder to get quickly as its reputation becomes viral. The meal was unhurried, with plenty of time to talk to other guests and the Chef and his Maitre D'. Although I am sure I have forgotten some details and misidentified some components because the menu is not published, I and my companions left with very full stomachs, totally sated palates, and plans to do it all over again next year!"

Star map
by Elizabeth Shurtleff
Art Deco double-hemisphere celestial chart filled with decorative illustrations of the constellations as classical mythological figures. Boldly colored, mainly bright red and blue against a dark blue ground.
The two hemispheres show the skies as of January 1st and July 1st respectively. The cartouche instructs the user of the chart to "face south, and raise map over head, to place constellations." A key displays symbols representing sizes of the stars depicted. Inset illustrations of Phoebus Apollo, the Sun God, and Diana, the Moon Goddess, are set between the two hemispheres. Personifications of the wind blow from each spandrel at the four corners. A cherub sits on each side of the cartouche, one reading the poem "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."
Each sign of the zodiac is illustrated and the borders surrounding each hemisphere name them as follows: "The RAM, the BULL, the HEAVENLY TWINS, And next the CRAB the LION shines, The VIRGIN, and the SCALES, The SCORPION, ARCHER, and SEA-GOAT, The MAN that holds the WATERING-POT, And FISH with glittering tails." The zodiac and other constellations are further described in text in the upper and lower margins.
Elizabeth Shurtleff was a painter based in Boston, Massachusetts. She was born in New Hampshire and studied at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts. She designed other color posters in the 1920s, including a pictorial map of New Hampshire, and completed at least one mural commission for the Raymond-Whitcomb in Boston, then America's leading tour company.

Prospect Watch: Miami Marlins: Could Jazz Chisholm Or Edward Cabrera Make An Impact In 2020?
The Marlins are not a team that's going to compete in 2020, whenever the season starts, so it makes sense for them to give their top prospects exposure at the highest level instead of letting them lose a key year of development. Who could make an impact? Let's take a look at two names and try to determine if they'll have value.
Jazz Chisholm – Shortstop
The Marlins were expected to enter the year with a combination of Miguel Rojas and Jon Berti at shortstop, but there's reason to believe that will change under the new circumstances. Enter Chisholm, acquired at the 2019 Trade Deadline, who is considered one of the team's top prospects. Already on the 40-man roster, doesn't it make sense for the team to get him exposure at the highest level so he's ready to hit the ground running in 2021? Considering the plans for the position initially, there's reason to believe.
Just because he's in the Majors doesn't make Chisholm a can't miss. We gave him a "B-" grade when ranking prospects prior to the season and said the following:
He's got some power (21 HR) and speed (16 SB), but the question is going to be whether or not he has the ability to make consistent contact. Playing the year at Double-A (458 PA), it didn't matter which organization he was playing for he struggled (strikeout rate):
Diamondbacks – 33.8%
Marlins – 25.5%
A 15.9% SwStr% is a highly concerning number, and it is a black cloud hanging over him. If he isn't going to make contact he isn't going to succeed, and with the potential for the strikeout rate to rise further there may be more downside than upside.
Considering the strikeout issues already and the fact that he'd be making the leap from Double-A to the Majors, the concerns are real. Maybe this positions him for success in 2021, but if called on in 2020 it's highly likely that he struggles.
Verdict – Hard Pass for 2020
Edward Cabrera – Starting Pitcher
The Marlins are loaded with young pitching. Just look at the expected rotation to start the year:
Caleb Smith
Sandy Alcantara
Jose Urena
Pablo Lopez
Jordan Yamamoto
None of them have reached 29-years old as of yet, and they all could thrive. Of course all teams are always looking for depth, and for the Marlins that could mean giving several prospects an opportunity. While Sixto Sanchez will get the bulk of the attention, would it be surprising if Cabrera ultimately emerged as the better prospect?
Ranked #14 among starting pitchers when we ranked our Top 30 pitching prospects for 2020, Cabrera received a "B+" grade and we said:
Cabrera doesn't get the attention of other prospects, but it should be just a matter of time. The 21-year old (he'll turn 22 in April) can already touch 100 mph, and at 6'4" and 175 lbs. he should continue to fill out and potentially improve. That's a scary thought, considering the impressive numbers he posted between High-A (58.0 IP) and Double-A (38.2 IP):
Strikeouts – 10.80 K/9 (courtesy of a 13.3% SwStr%)
Control – 2.89 BB/9
Groundballs – 47.7%
Sure the SwStr% was "only" 11.4% at Double-A, but is anyone going to complain? The biggest improvement was in his control, after he posted a 3.77 BB/9 in '18. As his secondary pitches continue to develop (changeup and curveball), after taking a step forward already, he's only going to get better. Cabrera has the potential to develop into a true ace, something that's not easy to find, making him well worth the investment.
He could struggle initially, as he needs to develop the secondary pitches, but he can't do that sitting on the sidelines. That's why it makes sense for the team to get him on the field in some role, and it's easy to envision him getting starts every five days. He already has made gains on his changeup, as MLB.com noted that he "did a better job of maintaining velocity separation between his fastball and changeup, which has become a solid third offering."
That is key and will go a long ways, but those searching for pitching it makes sense to kick the tires and see.
Verdict – Buying for 2020 and beyond

The Australian Ballet School
Change the world stage – Montana's Story.
Young dancers travel from all over the country, and overseas, to study at Australia's national ballet academy, The Australian Ballet School.
Many students are in their teens when they move away from their family and are billeted with families or move into shared accommodation with other students. With places at the school awarded purely on merit, many students rely on bursaries or scholarships to pay for thier tuition and expenses.
To better support their students, the Australian Ballet School launched Project Assemblé, aimed at raising money to fund a new boarding house for students who move to Melbourne to study at the school, and provide further support through bursaries, scholarships and support programs.
Blueboat was engaged to tell the Australian Ballet School's story through film, to share with patrons and supporters.
Our starting point was learning the stories of students who have moved to Melbourne to study at the Australian Ballet School. We decided to focus the film on Montana, an exciting young graduate of the Australian Ballet School who is just about to start her career with the Australian Ballet.
Filming took place in the School's rehearsal spaces and around Melbourne. The soundtrack features one of the School's live accompanists playing piano in rehearsal.
The film was used for the Australian Ballet School's Christmas Appeal and has helped the School's philanthropy team to start conversations with donors about the difference they can make in students' lives.

What are the 4 main properties of electromagnetic waves?
What are 3 examples of electromagnetic energy?
What types of waves exist?
Can electromagnetic waves harm you?
Which electromagnetic wave do humans use the most?
Why electromagnetic waves are important?
What if we could see all wavelengths of light?
The EM spectrum is generally divided into seven regions, in order of decreasing wavelength and increasing energy and frequency. The common designations are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared (IR), visible light, ultraviolet (UV), X-rays and gamma rays.
Behaviour and uses of electromagnetic waves
Radio waves. Radio waves are used for communication such as television and radio. …
Microwaves. Microwaves are used for cooking food and for satellite communications. …
Infrared. …
Visible light. …
Ultraviolet radiation.
The electromagnetic spectrum includes, from longest wavelength to shortest: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, optical, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma-rays.
IT IS INTERESTING: What is the most dangerous electromagnetic radiation?
Astronomers use the entire electromagnetic spectrum to observe a variety of things. Radio waves and microwaves – the longest wavelengths and lowest energies of light – are used to peer inside dense interstellar clouds and track the motion of cold, dark gas.
The most important of these is visible light, which enables us to see. Radio waves have the longest wavelengths of all the electromagnetic waves. They range from around a foot long to several miles long.
Examples of electromagnetic waves include radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays. … Microwaves are used to cook your food. Infrared waves are used in remote controls and are emitted from all warm objects, allowing them to be used to create heat-sensitive cameras.
Electromagnetic waves are ubiquitous in nature (i.e., light) and used in modern technology—AM and FM radio, cordless and cellular phones, garage door openers, wireless networks, radar, microwave ovens, etc. These and many more such devices use electromagnetic waves to transmit data and signals.
Like other waves, electromagnetic waves have properties of speed, wavelength, and frequency.23 мая 2019 г.
Radio Waves.
TV waves.
Radar waves.
Heat (infrared radiation)
Ultraviolet Light (This is what causes Sunburns)
X-rays (Just like the kind you get at the doctor's office)
Short waves.
IT IS INTERESTING: How does an electromagnetic wave travel?
Waves come in two kinds, longitudinal and transverse. Transverse waves are like those on water, with the surface going up and down, and longitudinal waves are like of those of sound, consisting of alternating compressions and rarefactions in a medium.
There is no doubt that short-term exposure to very high levels of electromagnetic fields can be harmful to health. … Despite extensive research, to date there is no evidence to conclude that exposure to low level electromagnetic fields is harmful to human health.
Electromagnetic waves are used to transmit long/short/FM wavelength radio waves, and TV/telephone/wireless signals or energies. They are also responsible for transmitting energy in the form of microwaves, infrared radiation (IR), visible light (VIS), ultraviolet light (UV), X-rays, and gamma rays.
Ultimately, if you could see all wavelengths simultaneously, there would be so much light bouncing about that you wouldn't see anything. Or rather, you would see everything and nothing simultaneously. The excess of light would just leave everything in a senseless glow.

This book is not a standard-issue biography of Marie Curie because it goes beyond her life to encompass that of her husband, her daughters, and her famed son-in-law. The book's title actually undestates the case: It should be Madame Curie and the World She Helped to Create.
Marie Curie's story is remarkable. From modest origins as the daughter of a Polish educator who was forced out of one job after another by Russians, Curie finally got her chance at age 26 to attend college in Paris. Within 10 years, she had won the Nobel Prize (with her husband) for discovering new elements and for discovering the radioactivity that they produced. She did this while enduring poverty, hunger, national and gender prejudice, and many more hardships. Then, she won an unprecedented second Nobel a few years later for extending her findings.
The breakneck pace of her life and her husband's life is well-chronicled in this book. The intellectual capabilities and work ethic Marie and Pierre are incomprehensible. They were literally moving the frontiers of science forwards, while working with toxic chemicals in crude conditions. They wrote scores of scientific papers and managed the careers of hundreds of promising scientists. And yet, they'd hold intellectual salons every Sunday, and find time for mountain hikes each summer. Oh, and they raised a Nobel Prize-winning daughter who married someone who also won a Nobel in physics.
The book does a good job of explaining the challenges that the Curies faced and the determination that was the source of their triumphs. It wonderfully evokes an era of all-in-this-together spirit that was science at the start of the 20th century. And it gives a moving description of Marie's work with her daughter Eve to bring Xray technology to use at the front in World War I.
But the book changes course and falters to some degree when it strays from Marie and Pierre. Indeed, Marie dies about two-thirds of the way through the book, and her son in law takes over as the primary figure. His story is fascinating, but it doesn't belong in this book, and his tale is not told nearly as well as the Madame Curie material.
Two other nitpicks with the book. First, the author uses the [sic] symbol in many of the quotes of people's letters, as if to imply they were making mistakes. But I don't see mistakes in the letters, and yet I found several typos in the book. If you're gonna criticize others, you should get it right yourself. Second, the writing is awkward at times. I think the author is a native French speaker, and some of the awkwardness in the book comes from her lack of complete fluency with American-style English.
Overall, I would not recommend starting one's reading about Marie Curie with this biography. It covers too much other ground, and yet its coverage of the science behind the Curies' work lacks sufficient detail. And while the information about the politics of science is interesting, the author assumes that the reader will have a working knowledge of WWI and, especially, of WWII and the politics of the Occupation, Resistance, and post-war period. Frankly, the author should remove the non-Marie material and use it as a jumping off point for a better book about science in Europe during and after WWII.
Diab
This is a good basic biography of Marie Curie. The writing is generally a little flat, punctuated with outcroppings of some rather odd word usages. For example, Pflaum consistently refers to Marie Curie being "enceinte," instead of simply saying she was pregnant. And we read about things like "the flairing of the wind." Not wrong - but something a little off about the phraseology here and there. It's as if Pflaum spent too much time in France researching her subjects and became distanced from the English language in the process.
However this book will certainly add to your knowledge of Marie Curie's amazing career. I found the chapter on her activities during World War I to be especially interesting. Curie and her daughter went out into the battlefields with the first mobile X-ray machines. They saved untold lives by being able to locate bullets and shrapnel in soldiers, and the exact site of breakages and other internal damage. I'd never realized Curie's brave contribution to that War effort.
Then you will find some unexpected insights into world politics here. In the course of discussing the Curies' contribution to the World War II effort, Pflaum explains how the Communists became an increasingly popular political alternative during the 1940s and 50s. They were so active in the wartime resistance, they gained the respect of a large percentage of the French and Italian peoples. Their heroism in defeating Fascism/Nazism no doubt played a part in establishing the Communist Party as a viable political faction in a number of European countries. Again, this was a larger back-story to the Cold War and succeeding geopolitical dynamics than I expected to find in a book simply about Marie Curie.
I wish though that Pflaum had supplied more scientific detail. You won't find much about the nature of radioactivity here so it's difficult for the reader to fully appreciate the Curies' achievement. You will probably want to check out some book of popular explanation of the atom to accompany your reading of Grand Obsession.
This book does convey Marie Curie's dedication to her work. She kept an unfailing schedule in her laboratory - through difficult personal times, through her own failing health. Because Pflaum's writing is not very inspired, this book will probably not inspire any young readers to similar heights of dedication to scientific pursuit. Grand Obsession may not have a very long half-life in your memory. But it radiates some of the spirit of Marie Curie.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Millions of anchovies washed up dead early on Tuesday in the harbor area of Redondo Beach, California, just south of Los Angeles, puzzling authorities and triggering a cleanup effort.
Local television news footage showed the mass of dead fish, said by a police spokesman to be about a foot deep on the surface, choking the waters in and around dozens of private boat slips in the King Harbor Marina.
Anchovies are prey for bigger fish and marine mammals, so large numbers may have swarmed into the harbor from deeper waters seeking shelter, he said.
Trudy Padilla, the marina's tenant services coordinator, said the dead fish suddenly began showing up overnight, and that one end of the marina has been blocked off as cleanup operations get organized.
King Harbor Marina provides 850 boat slips to private vessels.

What's the difference between archaeology and grave robbing?
An archaeologist's main goal is to help piece together the past.
Relatives of the victims of the Titanic have complained that the mining of valuables and relics from the sea floor amount to nothing more than grave robbing. After all, the resting place of the Titanic is also a mass grave of sorts, the sea a home to more than 1,500 casualties. Yet we've seen thousands of personal items on display at numerous Titanic exhibitions since it was discovered in 1987. Undersea explorers claim that these items are displayed as a historical collection of antiquities, just like the contents of King Tut's tomb. The UNSECO Convention of 1970 helped to protect cultural property by outlining guidelines that prevent the plundering of archaeological sites. Those who abide by the convention are not considered grave robbers, but archaeologists trying to piece together the puzzle of human history.
In 2001, the UNESCO Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage was adopted and ratified by 23 countries, which doesn't include the United States, England, France, Germany, Italy, China and Russia. This convention allows the recovery of artifacts as long as the people involved in the recovery make a "significant contribution" to the protection and knowledge of underwater heritage sites. It also prohibits the trading, buying and selling of underwater cultural property. But a convention is only as strong as the countries that acknowledge it, and with major countries like the United States, England, France, Germany, Italy, China and Russia steering clear, it remains a convention in limbo.
This state of limbo has allowed major undersea exploration outfits like Odyssey Marine Exploration (OME) to find and recover hundreds millions of dollars of booty from shipwrecks on the sea floor. The COO of OME, Dr. Mark Gordon, believes that these sites are too far down and too hard to find for teams funded by universities and museums. His rationale is that by operating a for-profit endeavor, his team can recover many more items than would ever be possible with a not-for-profit model. He maintains that the money OME makes selling items helps fund the operation, and that individual unique pieces are not sold, but kept for research purposes. His critics charge that the operation is nothing more than a well-funded and sophisticated looting business, staffed by educated grave robbers.
As the undersea debate continues to rage, it's hard to tell what lies ahead for companies like Odyssey Marine Exploration. As more countries ratify and observe the 2001 UNESCO Convention, the difference between land and sea excavation, and archaeology and grave robbing may become more clearly defined.


1. Is GDPR the end of data-driven marketing?
We've heard a lot about the potential restrictions posed by GDPR, but little about the opportunities it could bring for marketers. We have a unique opportunity here to wipe the slate clean and rebuild the foundations of our relationships with customers — but how exactly should we go about it?
Is GDPR the end of data-driven marketing?
Traditionally, marketing is a data-heavy industry. When the new regulations were announced, there was collective panic. How will we know what our customers want if we can't use the data we've collected about them?
But the Data Protection Act was introduced in 1998 when just 10% of households had access to the internet. The current data protection laws are no longer fit for purpose, and in order for marketers to form stronger, more trusting relationships with consumers, we need to work on consent.
And trust us – this is a good thing. Collecting data in the hope that it will one day become useful isn't productive anyway. You're both damaging your relationship with your customers and wasting your time.
This 'collect now, process later' mentality has given marketing — particularly email marketing — a bad reputation. Customers worry that we collect data indiscriminately to bombard them with things they just don't care about.
By embracing GDPR and the closely related Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to turn this around.
We should see the new privacy regulations as an opportunity to stand out from our competitors. All organisations must be compliant by May 2018 — but there will be few organisations confident enough to shout about their compliance for a while.
Until GDPR compliance becomes a given, you have an opportunity to stand out from your competitors. If you're going that extra mile to ensure your customers' data is safe, communicate it clearly.
The regulations are a positive move from over-dependence on impersonal, automated marketing. The changes bring opportunities for more personalised engagement, based on freely given information.
According to a study by PWC: 94% of senior level executives believe that delivering personalisation is critical to reaching and retaining customers.
GDPR gives us the push to approach marketing with an engagement-first mindset. By collecting granular consent online, we have a better understanding of what users want to hear about. Which means we can better target and personalise our communications.
Remember — if you're collecting information to personalise your campaigns or for segmentation and targeting, be careful. You'll need to gain explicit consent to say that a customer's data can be used in this way. Alternatively, you'll need to argue that there are grounds for legitimate interest.
Through consent, you can gain insight into each individual's interests to provide them with information they want to receive. This will also stop your customers feeling annoyed at receiving loads of emails or communications they have absolutely no interest in.
Users will need to 'opt-in' to communications. No more tricking customers with pre-ticked boxes. More detailed opt-ins and more granular consent improves transparency.
Both you and your customers will have a better understanding of how and why data is collected and used — which builds more honest, open relationships.
93% of online shoppers cite the security of their personal data as a concern.
GDPR and privacy by design gives us a real opportunity to build trust with our customers or clients. This comes through projecting transparency.
Be clear about what you're using your customers' data for and reassuring them that it's stored securely. If you can show that you have your customer's best interests at heart, you will both strengthen trust and encourage engagement with your customers.
By focusing your efforts on customers who actively wish to interact and engage with your brand, you will naturally foster greater brand loyalty. Rather than wasting time trying to reach an uninterested audience.
If you've been collecting data 'just in case', the answer is, probably not.
What this means is that you need to focus on the data you need, and stop asking for the "nice to haves." Consumers who opt-in and provide their specific details want to actively engage with brands.
If you can't easily explain why you hold this data, you shouldn't have it or use it.
Copywriting may feel like a formality, but actually it's an opportunity to communicate with your customers in a much more transparent way. By taking the time to sharpen your copy, you'll building a more open relationship with your customers.
Highlight the benefits of using their information. Does knowing about your customer make their experience better? Does it save them time or money? If so, say it.
Make it easy for people to opt-out of your communications. People will give consent more freely if they know it's not forever. Make it clear through your copy and design that your visitors can change their mind at anytime.
Last but not least, the new regulations are forcing marketers to be more creative. Digital marketers are often so focused on what the data says, that creativity comes second to standardised processes. It should never be this way, and it doesn't have to be.
Personal information will be more difficult to acquire. So, marketers will need to be more creative in ways they incentivise consumers to provide the details — and make the data they do have go further.
You will have to bring your best ideas to the table in order to get people to part with their valuable information — and stay creative to keep it.
The processes and procedures involved in becoming compliant may seem laborious, but marketers should be excited. GDPR has given us the opportunity to approach marketing in a more focused and transparent way. Making marketing less creepy and more creative.

David Lee Roth Joins DJ Armin van Buuren on Live Performance of "Jump" & It's…Something
Erica Banas // Rock Music Reporter	April 1st
David Lee Roth made a surprise appearance at Florida's Ultra Music Festival, which caters towards electronic music fans.
Diamond Dave joined Armin van Buuren during the DJ's set at the electronic music festival over the weekend for a performance of the Van Halen classic "Jump." Between DLR's strained sing-talking over his original studio vocals and the added beats, it's just…well, watch for yourself below.
Side note: It bears mentioning that the silver jacket Roth is wearing is rather cool. However, this is the same man that once said, "It's not whether you win or lose, it's how good you looked doing it!"
JUMP! Big shoutout to this legend David Lee Roth ???????????? and a big thanks to Ultra Music Festival and of course, last but definitely not least, to all you guys! I had a blast!!

"After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding hand and chaining a soul. And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises. And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open. And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans. And futures have a way of falling down in mid flight.

Dillard Funeral Home was established as Clayton-Dillard Funeral Home in 1933 by F. Van Clayton and J. Austin Dillard. In 1962, the Dillard family became the sole owners of the funeral home and renamed it Dillard Funeral Home.
At that time, Austin's son Jim joined the family business. In the early 1970s, the funeral home moved from its original Pendleton Street location to North Catherine Street, and in 1987, Jim's daughter, Ginger Dillard Selby, became part of the funeral home team.
Dillard relocated again in 1991, this time to 2402 Gentry Memorial Highway, adjacent to Hillcrest Memorial Park, where you can conveniently plan all your final arrangements.
Today, Dillard Funeral Home and Hillcrest Memorial Park are members of the Dignity Memorial® network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers.

"Everyone is really warm and welcoming. They are great at guiding you through the process and giving you time to make your decisions. My daughters and I were so grateful for the kindness. We have to say that was the most important at that particular time. They had just lost their Mother and I lost my wife so the kindness went a long way. I now understand why my wife's family has always used Hillcrest. Thank you again Austin."
"There was one problem at the service. No one told us we would need pall bearers. Since it was a private service, we barely had proper force to take my husband's body from the road to the site. The gentlemen from Hillcrest were elder and I do not know if they helped or not. The casket was heavy and my son has many back problems and it was unexpected to be asked if there were those available to help. My grandson age 13 did try to help. Please take caution for this to be worked out ahead of the service."

The system hardware comprises of a Teledyne Seabotix vLBV 300 ROV, a Teledyne RDI DVL and a HDT manipulator arm. SeeByte contributed and adapted CoPilot- a commercially-developed smart software system to control the robot autonomously. Introducing autonomous aspects to the capability is crucial to developing a system which is able to take the workload off the operators so that they are better able to focus on the task in hand.
The intended outcomes for this system include being able to locate/acquire/identify a potential threat, neutralise, Render Safe Procedure (RSP), conduct work, and recover with minimal collateral damage to the surrounding environment.
This talk will present the how the vehicle, software and sensors come together to create a comprehensive EOD-ROV system that is a reliable tool fit for EOD applications. The ultimate goal is to effectively place a layer of technology between the EOD operators and potentially dangerous environments.
