A model who lost both of her legs due to developing toxic shock syndrome has revealed that she is training to run in the New York City Marathon. Lauren Wasser, 31, contracted toxic shock syndrome (TSS) in 2012 after using a super-plus tampon while menstruating. The Los Angeles-based model had one leg amputated in the hospital but managed to keep most of the other for several years — until health complications forced her to make a tough decision. But, she said this week on the Today show, deciding to amputate her other leg is what ultimately allowed her to become more active — and start training for the marathon in NYC. Traumatic: Model Lauren Wasser, 31, had her right leg and toes from her left foot amputated after she nearly died from toxic shock syndrome from a tampon in 2012 Heartbreaking: She first experienced flu-like symptoms before suffering a heart attack that landed her in a comma.

Amazon’s first New York bookstore blends tradition with technology
Drop in for a book. Walk out with a smart watch. Shopping in one of Amazon’s brand-new, three-dimensional bookstores affords visitors the opportunity to buy many things that aren’t books. A hands-free sous vide, for example. Or a tablet computer. Or a smart speaker equipped with Amazon’s “Alexa” virtual butler app. At a grand opening Thursday for Amazon’s first bookstore in New York City, the mystery in the air was why a company that had changed the world by taking retail sales online would reverse direction and move into brick-and-mortar. The New York location is the seventh Amazon bookstore to open nationally since 2015, with six additional stores planned to open by the end of the year. It’s clearly a bookstore chain.
