Chinese Man Loses Half His Skull in Fall – Doctors to Return Him to Normal with 3D Printed Titanium Mesh - For a 46-year old Chinese man, named Hu, he was just going about a typical job on a construction site about 10 months ago, when he fell 3 stories to the ground, severely damaging his head, skull, and brain. Hu was left with a disfigured upper portion of his head, as a large portion of his brain and skull were completely removed. People in his neighborhood would jokingly call him ‘Half Headman’, and he had become the brute of some other jokes. All in all, Hu had lost a 14cm × 9cm section of his skull. Because of brain damage that he suffered, Hu has severe vision damage, particularly in his left eye, and also can not write or speak. However, his wife says that he can understand what people are saying to and about him. The part of his brain responsible for walking was mostly unaffected, so he has little problem getting around. Doctors at the Xijing Hospital, located in the ancient Chinese city of Xi’an, have determined that Hu is suffering from post-traumatic skull defects, traumatic aphasia, limited motor function, left ptosis with vision loss, and traumatic aphasia. He is also experiencing a severe case of double vision, referred to as diplopia.

Surgion MaoGuo Shu, of Xijing Hospital, who has seen a vast array of head and skull injuries, says that cases like Hu’s are very rare, and finding a solution to fix the damaged skull is very complex and difficult. To try and come up with a solution, the hospital brought in dozens of experts in the field. What they came up with was an idea for a 3D printed titanium mesh which would cover Hu’s brain and help make his skull look normal again. Thankfully for Hu, he won’t have to pay a dime for the surgery, as the hospital is covering the cost, and an American company, Stryker has agreed to pay for the 3D printing and materials used in the printing process.

3D printing continues to make amazing strides in the medical field. It may be fun to print your own jewelry or earbuds, but to be able to restore a person's quality of life? That's incredible. 3D printed prosthetics are just beyond cool.

This. IS. AWESOME.

Not only can this have applications in the medical field, I can imagine these being distributed in rural schools for science class.

All too often the way brands interact with millennials on social media feels stuffy and detached. But as a major destination for the 18-34 year old demographic—41% of our U.S. visitors, according to comScore—we’re in a unique position to see what really works. Today we’re sharing a few things brands can do to make content that resonates with millennials.

Tip #1: Share normal human experiences.

This shouldn’t be hard: Millennials are people too, you know. They have the same feelings and emotions as everyone else. Bond over that, like with AT&T’s happy dance.

Tip #2: Make ‘em laugh.

If you’re funny, be funny. If you’re not, you can still get a smile out of them by helping them escape their normal lives. Patagonia inspires people to take adventures. Keds gets some help from celebrities. And Wendy’s takes cues from popular culture.

Tip #3: Use memes wisely.

Things move really fast on the internet and there’s nothing worse than being two months late for a meme. Such lame. Many smh. The great thing about Tumblr is how long content circulates on the network (a third of all reblogs a post earns happen 30 days after the initial post*). That means you can focus on evergreen content like this enduring and endearing piece from Madewell, which was published more than 18 months ago and is still earning notes.

We can’t tell you what’s best for your brand. All we can do is encourage you, as a marketer, to think about content that you’d post your personal blog. That’s how you’ll make content that actually resonates with the community.

"Here’s a few social media truisms that many brands simply don’t want to hear.

1. Social media success takes time. Don’t expect overnight success. While customers increasingly expecting an almost instantaneous response to their enquiries, generating a worthwhile return on investment (ROI) requires considerable effort and patience.

2. Social media success takes resources. Do you have someone with several hours of quality time per week available to dedicate to your social strategy?

3. Social media success takes you out of your comfort zone. Are you prepared to share other people’s content in your social channels – even that of your competitors? Are you will to engage with other people and open conversations? Do you create original content that other people will want to share? Are you able to handle and respond to public criticism and customer complaints?

Be sure you’re ready before you commit. Customers expect a response, and a ghost town of a social media profile is not a good sign to anyone who comes looking to learn about or engage with your brand.
