Schlumberger Conrad (b. 1878-10-02 / d. 1936-05-09)
In 1912, Conrad conceived the revolutionary idea of using electrical measurements to map subsurface rock bodies in order to acquire information about the nature of the rock (chalk, sandstone, granite,etc.) and the presence of hydrocarbons. In 1919, Marcel began working with his brother and in 1920 they opened their first office in Paris. In 1927, the Schlumberger brothers produced the first measurements (Electric Log) of an oil well in France. These ideas were very successful, and they founded the Société de Prospection Électrique in 1926 and Schlumberger Well Surveying Corporation (now Schlumberger Well Services) in 1934.

Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bulloc) was an American-born and naturalized Swiss singer. Known as the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll", she rose to prominence as the lead singer of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue before launching a successful career as a solo performer. Turner revealed in her 2018 memoir My Love Story that she had suffered multiple life-threatening illnesses. In 2013, three weeks after her wedding to Erwin Bach, she suffered a stroke and had to learn to walk again. In 2016, she was diagnosed with intestinal cancer. Turner opted for homeopathic remedies for her high blood pressure. This untreated high blood pressure resulted in damage to her kidneys and eventual kidney failure. Her chances of receiving a kidney were low, and she was urged to start dialysis. She considered euthanasia and signed up to be a member of Exit, but Bach offered to donate a kidney for her transplant. Turner had kidney transplant surgery on April 7, 2017.

She was an Oscar-nominated American actress and a major film star of the 1930s and 1940s. She remains, arguably, the epitome of the female screwball comedy actress.
The screwball comedy is a subgenre of the comedy film genre. It has proven to be one of the most popular and enduring film genres. It first gained prominence in 1934 with It Happened One Night, and, although many film scholars would agree that its classic period ended sometime in the early 1940s, elements of the genre have persisted, or have been paid homage to, in contemporary film.
