Quite often we get asked the question "can I 3D print my COMSOL model?" Well, as of version 4.3b, the answer is "yes!" This is because it is now possible to export geometries and meshes as STL files, which is one of the standard file formats for 3D printing. This allows for rapid prototyping of designs; there is no need to outsource parts to machine shops. It is quite remarkable that you could conceive, simulate, optimize, and prototype a design using only COMSOL Multiphysics and a 3D printer. As 3D printing technology improves, it may also be possible to efficiently and cost-effectively manufacture your design. Here, I will demonstrate how you can 3D print COMSOL models, with a video and written instructions.
STL (Stereolithography, or Standard Tessellation Language) is a file format developed in the late 80's by 3D Systems to facilitate the prototyping of designs created using computer-aided design software. The file format represents three dimensional geometric entities as triangulated surfaces in a Cartesian coordinate system. Scale, color, and material property information are not stored in the file. Color printing of STL files is hence only possible if the color information is added after the design has been imported into the software that connects to the 3D printer.
In this example I will print the model that computes the thermally-induced stresses in a turbine stator blade. The model is available in the Structural Mechanics Module Model Library, but the process by which you can 3D print is the same regardless of the model. In the Model Library tab, select the model Structural Mechanics Module>Thermal-Structure Interaction>turbine_stator and click the Open Model button.
When the model is opened, the default view is a plot of the displacement induced by the thermal stresses.
There are two ways you can export the geometry for printing. The first way is to go to the Geometry node in the Model Builder, right-click, and select Export to File.
As discussed above, the standard geometry representation for 3D printing is the STL file. In the Export Geometry section, set the File type to STL binary (.stl).
Next, enter a file name for the STL file and click the Export button.
An alternative method of exporting the geometry for printing is to export the mesh as an STL file. In general, this will result in a larger file size that may be harder to import into the software that comes with the 3D printer. In this case, go to the Mesh node in the Model Builder. Right-click, and choose Export to File.
As before, set the File type to STL binary (.stl).
All that remains is to open the STL file in the software that comes with your 3D printer. The software should be able to align and scale the STL file so it fits within the feasible printing area.
Above is a picture of the physical turbine stator we printed. This specific model took around an hour to print.
If you are printing a single solid object, internal boundaries should be deleted from the geometry. Otherwise, the printer will insert a small gap where the interior boundaries are present.
Larger assemblies can be constructed by printing individual parts one at a time.
Exporting the mesh and printing may give slightly different results compared to exporting the geometry.
You can also export the deformed mesh resulting from a model including the Moving Mesh interface. To do this, use the Remesh Deformed Configuration option which is available for the Solution data set. This creates an additional mesh in the Mesh node which you can export as an STL file.
Now that you know how to 3D print your COMSOL models, why don't you try it out? Once you have printed your model, take a photo of it, and submit it to 3dprint@comsol.com for a chance to be featured in a future blog post.


The Bouncer @ Big Bounce America - The World's BIGGEST!
We had a dream. A dream to build a bounce house so awesome in scale and content that you and your friends would travel from far and wide to marvel at its awesomeness.
Inside the bounce house we dreamt of giant slides, ball pits, basketball hoops and obstacle runs. We dreamt of massive inflatable animals among massive inflatable palm trees with inflatable trucks, boats and climbing frames all contained within the walls of our candy-colored castle. We dreamt of DJs spinning from a stage in the middle of all this, of massive sound-systems, confetti blasts, beach balls and all manner of thrilling party games happening around us as we bounced. And we dreamt that it was big. Really, really big….
So what did we do? We built the biggest bounce house in the whole wide world!!!
Holding everything together from our custom-built stage at the very centre of The Bouncer is our resident DJ/MC. Because as well as being a brilliant activity, we need to make sure that this is an amazing party for everyone involved.
Your experience will play out to a carefully curated soundtrack featuring a perfect blend of current club anthems alongside some of the biggest and bounciest throwbacks from back in the day. And that's before we even start with the games….boys v girls dodgeball anyone? Or how about a relay race around our giant inflatable jungle animals? For the less energetic, there's always the chance to take part in the 'best Mararena/Wobble/Cupid Shuffle' competition. Party-starters, throwbacks, sing-alongs and prizes…..the one thing we can guarantee is that there's never a dull moment on The World's Biggest Bounce House.
This is NOT your typical bounce house!!!! Within the walls of our massive structure we've worked hard to ensure that there's never a dull moment.
We've created various 'zones', each with a theme and each with it's own activity-based entertainment.
We've included basketball hoops for those big-air slam-dunks, an inflatable obstacle race suitable for all ages, and a giant slide that takes you outside the main structure and lands you into a ball-pit. There's an inflatable forest, giant inflatable jungle animals (get them on Instagram!), inflatable trucks, boats and four-poster beds for you to bounce around in or just chill out on.


Daughter showed signs of seeing beyond the veil.
We were noticing our daughter was able to tell us things that had happened before she was born. We also noticed she could "see" things the rest of us could not. We were not so concerned, but just under-educated in this field. Rev. Trueblood assisted us greatly in our own education, so we in turn could support and understand our daughter. Thanks so much, it was enlightening to get more knowledge. Mr. and Mrs. D.
In the beginning of my practice, as a provider of Hypnosis, I thought I would see a lot of smoking cessation, or weight control requests but no, it was requests for self exploration, namely past life regression that clients wanted most. The ability to explore more of who they are, as a soul, bcame the number one service requested. Refreshing, I say! Nice to see people reflect upon themselves in a way that is helpful and provides answers that are found within themselves.
Reincarnation appears to be a major theshold to further understanding our role here on earth. Depicted in many spiritual teachings and religions of the world, including the experiences of many near death survivors; it seems a logical assumption that reincarnation is indeed factual. Clinical research over decades has uncovered and documented reincarnation as fact. Even bibical passages support that position. Life is just a "field trip" and we will and do return time and time again, but are the same Soul.

Grease (review)
Mon Mar 30 1998, 11:22pm | 0 comments
Revival Is the Word
Wow — what a lot of fun it was to see Grease again on a big screen.
Slept through the 70s, did you? Well, quickly: Good-girl Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) falls in love with bad-boy Danny (John Travolta) at the beach one generic 50s summer, and they meet up again at Rydell High for senior year. It's kind of West Side Story with different music and a happy ending.
I swear, half the people in the audience weren't even alive Grease was first released in 1978. I was part of the other half. Grease was my first grown-up movie — I was nine, and I went with my mom. I remember being embarrassed by all that sex stuff in the movie. (And it's so tame nowadays!)
But here was an audience of teen and preteen kids — plus plenty of us oldsters, too — all singing along with Danny stranded at the drive-in ("I sit and wonder why-y-y") and doing the hand jive. It's kinda religious, getting caught up in a movie like that with hundreds of other people. But no one was too reverent — Grease is a fairly silly movie, after all, a fact which every seemed to appreciate.
All of which made me realize how much I miss revival houses. Video basically killed them off — why not sit and watch your favorite classics over and over in the comfort of your own home? Well, because you miss the chance to share the experience with other devout fans. I love hearing everyone around me murmur the dialog along with me and tense up when all the good bits are coming. I'm convinced that the Star Wars rereleases were huge hits not because of the additional scenes and spruced-up effects but simply because the faithful wanted to celebrate the movies en masse.
I think I'll go watch my video copy of, I don't know, maybe The Princess Bride or Aliens. Alone. On my puny 27-inch screen. Sigh.
Oh, and they cleaned up the Grease soundtrack a bit, but other than that, nothing's changed from the old Grease. Well, they did add back in the scene when Danny meets Jabba the Hutt, but then we were all expecting that.

The Dead Sea Scrolls on display at Qumran in 2010.
The burial of a warrior who lived and (literally) died by the sword, a new tomb in the Valley of the Kings and a cave that may have held Dead Sea Scrolls — these are just some of the big archaeology and history stories that we think we may hear about in 2018. Look back at the predictions for2017 and 2016 to see our track record.
The tomb of a warrior who was killed by the slice of a sword has already been discovered in Greece. At least four other people were buried with the warrior. The five people were buried with gold and silver rings, ivory-handled swords, a gold-decorated dagger and many other artifacts.
Yet the public never heard a word about this fantastic discovery because the area where the tomb is located has been hit hard by looters. Archaeologists do not want to disclose information about the tomb until excavations are finished and the site can be better secured.
13th Dead Sea Scrolls cave?
The discovery of the 12th cave made headlines around the world, but that find is unlikely to be the end of the story. The team that found the 12th cave is surveying several other caves that could potentially hold additional Dead Sea Scrolls, Live Science has learned. This survey is being carried out as part of a larger project by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA). The IAA is racing to identify and excavate any caves in the Judaean Desert that may contain archaeological remains, because several looters operating in the Judaean Desert have been caught by authorities over the past few years. Some of the looters were found carrying the remains of possible scrolls.
Given that the survey is ongoing and that several potential Dead Sea Scrolls caves have already been identified, it wouldn't be surprising to see in 2018 that a 13th Dead Sea Scroll has been discovered near Qumran.
2017 brought news of some fantastic prehistoric-site discoveries in Saudi Arabia. In August, Live Science reported that 46 prehistoric sites, some possibly more than 1 million years old, had been discovered in Saudi Arabia. The findings were made by researchers with the Palaeodeserts Project, which aims to better understand Saudi Arabia's human and environmental past.
In November 2017, the country held the "1st Saudi Archaeology Convention," in which research from across the kingdom was presented. In 2018, we can expect to hear of new prehistoric-site discoveries, as well as finds from more recent time periods, in Saudi Arabia.
Much research has been going on in Egypt's Valley of the Kings in recent years, and 2018 may see new discoveries in the valley.
In July, Live Science reported that archaeologists had identified an area near the tomb of the pharaoh Ay (1327-1323 B.C.) that has four foundation deposits and a radar reading that could indicate the presence of a tomb. Another group of archaeologists has carried out surveys of the western part of the Valley of the Kings in recent years. A third team, this one from the University of Basel, in Switzerland, is currently analyzing and publishing the finds from KV 40, a tomb in the Valley of the Kings where dozens of mummies were discovered in 2014.
Additionally, Live Science has received unconfirmed reports of fieldwork going on right now in the Valley of the Kings that may lead to the discovery of a new tomb. Given all of this activity, it's quite possible that 2018 will bring stunning new discoveries, possibly including that of a new tomb, in the Valley of the Kings.
In 2018, scientists will be working on many technologies and solutions to address the worldwide problem of looting. They include robots that can go into dangerous looter tunnels and assess damage that looters have done, dogs that sniff out artifacts that are being smuggled into the U.S., and software that can identify stolen artwork that thieves are trying to sell.
Countries that are dealing with wars and economic and political strife are hit the hardest by looting. Looters have gunned down antiquities guards, and children have been killed while working (typically for little money) in narrow tunnels.


The Diocese of Fall River, MA has taken a step in FAITH and HOPE to formally establish an independent, charitable foundation responsible for raising, managing and distributing philanthropic funds to provide long-term, sustainable support for the parishes, schools and life-changing ministries across its Diocese.
The Catholic Foundation of Southeastern Massachusetts comes as a direct outgrowth of a six-month planning process that brought together over forty women and men from across the Diocese, to serve on a taskforce and seek to discern how a Foundation may help us to fulfill God's will for REBUILDING the Church in Southeastern, MA.
Share God's love for all people, giving of our time, talent and treasure in a spirit of love for the Lord.
The Foundation is incorporated as a separate 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, fully endorsed by the Diocese of Fall River and its Bishop, Most Reverend Edgar M. da Cunha, S.D.V. This legal structure ensures that all gifts will be used for their intended purposes and provides a level of efficiency, accountability and transparency that will earn the respect and confidence of donors as well as the pastors/parishes, schools and ministries it serves.
To invite great generosity, safeguard all gifts entrusted to our care and enable our parishes, schools and ministries to advance the mission of our Church, throughout the Diocese of Fall River.
Since 1942, the Catholic Charities Appeal has helped people in all phases of life. Now in its 78th year, the Appeal sustains the numerous agencies, programs, and ministries vital to the needs of thousands.
Through a generous donation by the Carney family, low income families in Taunton, Fall River and New Bedford can send their children to our Catholic schools.
The Shepherd's Fund will give the Bishop the capacity to respond to emergency situations as they arise and the flexibility to embrace opportunities that might otherwise be lost.
Support for seminarian education is critical to ensure that we have priests to support our Diocese and all ministries into the future.
The Diocese of Fall River recently announced the launch of The Catholic Foundation of Southeastern Massachusetts.
We are an independent, charitable foundation providing long-term, sustainable support for the parishes, schools and life-changing ministries across the Diocese of Fall River.

Easter is upon us and as usual it has come with plenty of reasons to jump up in celebration. Some people are looking forward to attending all the church events in the spirit of Good Friday, for some it is holiday while for some it will be family gathering time. Needless to say, there are scores of Namibians who find themselves in the midst of drinking crowds every day from Friday to Monday in contravention of Easter's meaning and then wonder what hit them financially afterwards along with concerns of road accidents or robbery. Therefore, to ensure that people make it through Easter safe and sound, there are a number of things that need to be taken care of.
Easter weekend is one of the busiest weekends on the road and it pays to take a few precautions to ensure that you arrive at your destination safely. The City Police spokesperson, Cillie Auala urges those who are going to travel out of town to ensure that they check their vehicle fitness. "Make sure that your tyres are not worn out because these are some of the things that we overlook. However this is a major contributing factor when it comes to road accidents. Also your wipers must be working, your tyres must not be worn out and your indicating lights must be working," she said.
Cillie further cautions drivers to refrain from speeding and definitely drinking and driving citing that they are the major concerns. "Also, make sure that you wear your seatbelt and do not leave town without checking with the Windhoek city police if you have any outstanding warrant of arrests.We are going to have traffic officers at all the Windhoek exit points and that may just interrupt your holiday plans," she cautioned.
She also highlighted alcohol as one of the contributing factors when it comes to accidents, saying that it's the time of the year when people celebrate and so tend to over drink. "It is important that the shebeens or the liquor outlets adhere to the liquor acts and all the regulations municipal by laws," said Cillie. Shebeens must be closed on public holidays.
are the ones that are left unattended. Cillie urges residents who are going to travel for this holiday to make sure that they do not leave their houses unattended. "If they have to travel at least there must be some form of security in place. If not, we are urging them to come to the city police and tell us that they are going to be away for holiday and we will be able to keep an eye on their property.
We are not going to guarantee 24 hour security but somehow when we are doing our patrol and planning we will then be able to know that a particular property is unoccupied, and then we will keep an eye now and then," she said. In addition, Cillie also noted that it is important for residents to inform their neighbours and the Neighbourhood Watch associations to keep an eye on their properties.
As is customary, many people will take leave of their financial senses and overspend during Easter holiday. However, by planning and not going off the beaten path one can discover that less can actually be more. As part of the planning, Francois Brand, the secretariat manager of the Financial Literacy Institution advises that what is important is to avoid committing to spending too much over the holiday. "It is important for people to look after the money that they have and to service unproductive debts rather than just having a good time," he said.
"Avoid unnecessary gifts, keeping it simple and remembering why we have Easter would be more important to focus on. It's not supposed to be a financial monetary holiday, it's supposed to be a time for reflection on some of the things that we believe in," said Francois.
The other issue of concern is the ATM fraud and the City Police advises that when one is withdrawing their money they shouldn't trust any stranger to be closer by. "Keep your pin safe and if you need any help there are always security guards at ATMs to assist," said Cillie.
City Police assures residents that they will do the best they can to keep the city safe. "We have operations in and around the city definitely and we would make sure that we'll keep it safe although people are driving out," assured Cillie.
With a little imagination, Easter entertainment can be affordable. People can simply have short trips with their friends and families or by sitting around an outdoor fire in the village and catching up with their family members over a late night barbecue, the holiday cost can be greatly cut in a refreshing way.

Should you observe The Big Dipper continuously from nightfall to dawn, you will notice that it appears to shift its position in the heavens. The Big Dipper is not really moving, rather it is you who are changing position due to the rotation of the Earth. Furthermore, if the sun's glare did not wash out the light of The Big Dipper during the day, you would see it make a complete circle around the North Star in one full 24 hour day.
At one particular time of year, you might see The Big Dipper in the northeast after sunset, nearly over your head at midnight, and in the northwest at sunrise. Six months later, you may see it start in the northwest, at or near the northern horizon at midnight, and in the northeast at dawn. Its positions at sunset and dawn seem to change during the course of a year because the Earth is moving around the Sun in a circuit that takes one year to complete.
These changes in position from one month to the next also cause The Big Dipper to appear at different angles. In one season it will be horizontal with respect to the viewer's horizon, in another season it will appear vertical. If you do not understand what I am talking about here, a look at Figure 13 (next page) should quickly end your confusion. The arrow in the illustration indicates how two stars at the end of The Big Dipper always point toward The North Star (whose proper name is Polaris). Once you know where Polaris is, locating other things is much easier.
Indeed, all stars in the sky will change position from month to month for the same reason The Big Dipper does. This seasonal change is the reason why most constellations and asterisms rise and set at different times as the year progresses. However, a few extreme northern star groupings such as The Big Dipper may never set for viewers who live a far distance north away from the Earth's equator.
While we're on the subject of Polaris, I would like to make a point before you undertake to find this star for the first time. I have noticed that many people not very familiar with astronomy seem to think that the North Star is supposed to be the brightest star in the sky. Nothing could be farther from the truth! You will find that it is a star of rather ordinary brightness: not super bright, but not dim either. It will be about the same brightness as the brightest stars in The Big Dipper.
I have already both mentioned and illustrated (in Figure 13) how you can use two stars in the bowl of The Big Dipper to find Polaris. However, in late winter through late summer you may use other stars in this asterism to point you toward other sites of interest. But before I begin to talk about this aspect of The Big Dipper, there is an important point that I need to make. Hence forth, unless stated otherwise, I shall assume that you are going to do your sky gazing in the evening. Even so, keep in mind that the same sights may be visible later at night or early morning in different seasons.

Biden's Holiday Scheme Just Went Public – Brave Female Journalist Blows the Whistle on White House
The White House holds a traditional Christmas party every year. This event is held for friends of the administration, but also a healthy dose of the media attends as well. You'd expect the first on the list are the White House press corps, which covers the administration on a daily basis.
But this year, it looks like Biden has become the Grinch.
From New York Post:
President Biden is facing an outcry from the White House press corps for the "petty" exclusion of journalists from the traditional presidential media Christmas parties…
In a seeming break from Biden's pledge to restore "civility" to public life, a number of journalists — many believing themselves excluded for "naughty" rather than "nice" coverage — didn't get invites to the glam soirees on Dec. 8 for TV teams and on Dec. 13 for other press.
These weren't just small outlets getting snubbed. The New York Post wasn't given an invite until they requested comment for their article.
One press corps member, a female entrepreneur and immigrant, was rejected. She is also a conservative. And so, she's blasting the White House over this apparent act of bias.
From The Pavlovic Today:
The Pavlovic Today is to be excluded from the White House Christmas party for the press on December 13, 2022 despite a request for admittance. The current occupants of the White House espouse equality, equity and fairness at every opportunity but as we see here they just don't practice it. The unashamed hypocrisy is breathtaking…
I hope at the next election the Democrats don't try to claim they are on the side of the equality, equity, and fairness for little guy or gal. Let alone the immigrant, female entrepreneurs.
Ksenija Pavlovic McAteer was given a "hard pass" when she requested an invitation to Biden's White House Christmas party. She accused the administration of showing special treatment to the mainstream media.
She blasted Biden's claims of being "as inclusive as possible," but only inviting members of the liberal elite who parrot the left's talking points on a daily basis.
McAteer identifies herself as an immigrant, female entrepreneur. You'd think someone like that would have a seat at Biden's table. Aren't Democrats going on and on about helping people like that?
Aren't liberals obsessed with propping up women and immigrants? Especially those running their own businesses? I guess not, when that woman is challenging the left's narrative and refuses to kiss Biden's ring.
The Biden White House snubbed numerous media outlets for this year's Christmas party.
The New York Post was not invited until they asked for comment on their article.

WHO calls for cleaner household fuels
By ASNS
A new report from the World Health Organization demonstrates that investing in cleaner household fuels can yield a seven-fold economic benefit in health and productivity gains.
The report, Fuel for Life: Household Energy and Health show that cooking with wood, dung, coal and other solid fuels on open fires or simple stoves, a daily reality for more than half of the world's population, leads to high levels of indoor air pollution, a major risk factor for pneumonia among children and chronic respiratory disease among adults.
Globally, pneumonia remains the single most important child killer and is responsible for two million deaths a year.
Every day for the next 10 years, 485 000 people would need to gain access to cleaner fuels in order to halve by 2015 the population relying on solid fuels.
Every year, the killer in the kitchen is responsible for 1.5 million deaths. Sub-Saharan Africa and South East Asia are particularly affected, with 396 000 and 483 000 annual deaths, respectively. Indoor air pollution also disproportionately affects women and children. In 2002, cooking with solid fuels was responsible for nearly 800 000 deaths among children and more than 500 000 deaths among women.
"Making cleaner fuels and improved stoves available to millions of poor people in developing countries will reduce child mortality and improve women's health," said Dr LEE Jong-wook, WHO Director-General. "In addition to the health gains, household energy programmes can help lift families out of poverty and accelerate development progress."
On average, 100 million more homes using liquefied petroleum gas, biogas or modern fuels for cooking would lead to 473 million fewer women, children and men exposed to harmful indoor air pollution, and 282 thousand fewer deaths from respiratory diseases per year.
The economic case for adopting practical solutions on a large scale is just as strong as the humanitarian case.
For as little as six dollars, families can install better ventilated and fuel efficient stoves. A total cost of 13 billion dollars per year to halve the number of people worldwide cooking with solid fuels by 2015 shows a payback of 91 billion dollars per year, highlights the report.
Making improved stoves available to half of those still burning biomass fuels and coal on traditional stoves would save USD 34 billion in fuel expenditure every year, and generate an economic return of USD 105 billion every year over a 10 year period.
The majority of these costs are borne at the household level which is also where the majority of the benefits occur. Nevertheless, donor investments are required upfront for designing appropriate technologies, setting up local businesses, and putting micro-credit systems in place.
Developing energy infrastructure in this way would not only mean less illness and death but also less time spent ill, collecting fuel and cooking. With more time available, children would do better at school, while their mothers could engage in childcare, agriculture or other income-generating activities as a way to break the vicious cycle of poverty.
"It is a travesty that 1.5 million lives a year - many of those of children whose lives have not even started - are snuffed out every year because of needless exposure to indoor smoke. We have simple, affordable solutions; let us ensure that they reach the people who can benefit from - and live by - using them," said Dr Maria Neira, WHO's Director for Public Health and Environment.
Some low-income countries with enormous financial constraints are already responding to the challenge, and programmes are operating effectively and producing results. The same commitment needs to be replicated worldwide.
The problem of indoor air pollution has been around since the Stone Age, yet international development agendas fail to recognize that missing out on clean energy equals missing out on life.
Today's report provides an overview of the global situation on indoor air pollution, and calls for vigorous action to close the household energy gap by developing energy infrastructure to meet basic household needs in a healthy, safe and sustainable way.


Although it may not be very noticeable at the minute, summer is on its way, which can only mean one thing – wedding season is in full flight! It's wonderful to see how creative couples can be in the lead up to their special day. At Scorpio we've been discussing wedding traditions, old and new, traditional… and the downright strange.
There are all sorts of wedding traditions and each family seems to have an alternative and exciting way of doing things. The phrase "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" doesn't refer to an overly raucous stag night for the groom, but dates all the way back to the Victorian era and is definitively one of the most popular wedding traditions. This tradition usually creates a fun way of building items into a wedding look, including shoes of course! Many people are undoubtedly going to be asking you what parts of your bridal outfit are old, new, borrowed and blue, so you might as well have something to talk about on your big day.
We thought you might like to know some of the reasoning's behind this well established tradition.
Something old represents the link with the bride's family and the past. A common way to represent this is the bride wearing a piece of family jewellery belonging to their mother or grandmother. Or even their old wedding dress… if it fits!
Wearing something new represents good fortune and success in the bride's new life. Maybe even a new pair of our popular vintage Irregular Choice shoes can be added to the list of traditions. Just perfect for the wedding season or as a stunning accompaniment to that very special outfit, the womens Baby Beauty ankle boot has off white tweed uppers woven with shimmering gold and a gold paisley pattern panel at each side. The perfect choice!
Or for the men… why not go for a pair of our Gucinari 16001 Men's Premium Leather Snake-skin Lace-up Designer Shoes? Wearing these designer Gucinari shoes you are guaranteed to stand out from the crowd and garner the attention of those around you. A visually stunning men's shoe just to prove that all the best styles are not just for the ladies!
Something borrowed reminds the bride that friends and family will be there for her in the future, when help is needed. The borrowed object might be something of sentimental value to a close friend or family member.
The colour blue symbolises faithfulness, loyalty and purity so something blue is added on the bride's big day in the hope that the big day is the start of a long and faithful partnership. On occasion, the bride will attempt to have one item that includes all of these elements such as a borrowed blue handkerchief which is 'new' to the bride, but borrowed by a family member (therefore making it old).
Lots of wedding traditions involve shoes; the custom of the bride throwing her bouquet shoulder was originally performed with a shoe rather than a bouquet – hopefully no one ended up with a shoe in the eye! Other traditions include shoes tied to the bumper of a car with the iconic meaning 'just married'. These shoes are considered to be a symbol of good luck.
We'd love for you to share with us some of your wedding day memories and traditions – add your comment to our blog or find us on Facebook and Twitter.

Car or Van Fire Cause Your Serious Burn Injuries?
In terms of crashworthiness, a fuel fed fire refers to a car fire that is intensified by fuel leaking from the gas tank of a vehicle. While some fires like this can occur in a stationary vehicle as a result of wear and tear or design defects, most happen after car accidents. A car that sustains a significant impact may have the structural integrity of its fuel system damaged, resulting in an uncontrollable fire or explosion. For this reason, automakers must follow certain safety guidelines in the design and manufacture of fuel systems in order to reduce the risk of deadly car fires. When companies neglect these safety standards, serious car fire injuries may result.
Fuel fed fires can cause catastrophic burn injuries which may result in extensive scarring, permanent disability and/or wrongful death. However, an auto defect lawyer from Eisenberg, Rothweiler, Winkler, Eisenberg & Jeck, P.C. can assist you in holding the negligent manufacturer responsible for your medical bills and other damages. We have a record of success with complex car defect litigation, and will work to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve for your past and future expenses.
Who is Liable for the Injuries Caused by Fuel Fed Fires?
The vehicle manufacturer. Automotive companies are almost always liable for injuries caused by car defects, even if other defendants are involved.
The part manufacturer. If another company was responsible for building and/or testing the defective system, then you may be able to recover compensation from them as well.
Car companies may issue a vehicle recall after a number of incidents and/or injuries. In recent years, many prominent automakers have recalled vehicle due to fire risk. For example, Ford Motor Co. recalled several different models, including the Crown Victoria, Super Duty, Mustang and Econoline vans. Other prominent automakers with recent recalls of this kind include Volkswagen, including several Audi models, as well as General Motors and Toyota. However, victims of dangerous car defects can still file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit even after vehicle recalls.
If you or a loved one sustained severe burn injuries after a car crash, then you may not know whether car defects are to blame. An auto defect lawyer from our Philadelphia law firm can investigate your crash. Then, we can help you get compensation for your car accident injuries. We have law offices in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, but we accept product liability cases nationwide.
Call or contact us online to learn how our lawyers can assist you with your car or van fire lawsuit.


Humans don't like change. It takes us time to adapt to any situation and once we're comfortable, any change is the treat to our comfort and safety. Any change has to jump the multiple hurdles such as fear, comfort, prejudice, assumptions, new understandings, and existing habits. In schools, change challenges teachers the most and each person has a uniquely variation of these hurdles.
The lack of experience and habits makes children more than comfortable to adapt to new ideas and approaches, in fact, most find change exciting. Any teacher starting a lesson with "today we're going to do something really different" is seen as a positive by everyone in the room, but only because the teacher's comfort comes from having made the decision and their status as leader.
Albeit popular, this quote is not true (Thanks to @JennBinis for pointing this out) but its popularity online reflects the regular experience in schools of teachers struggling to adapt to change … a lot more than the students.
Teachers in heavily routined schools come to rely on those routines for survival and it is change to their routines (not introduction of tech) that really presents as a personal threat until those changes are fully understood and bolted to the floor.
It's when progress challenges the four R's (Roles, Responsibilities, Relationships, and Routines) that people really start to get uncomfortable. It's hard to imagine any future where these 4 R's have changed and people can fight this type of progress. Henry Ford is often quoted as saying "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." It's apparently probable that Ford didn't actually say these exact words but the sentiment runs parallel to his writings and it's popular because people recognise it as natural human behaviour. People wanted faster horses because it meant not changing their role, routines and relationship with travel.
As a progressive educator tasked with leading the dismantling of the industrial high school model in my school, I am learning how to support 140 teachers who react to significant routine change in 3 ways: excitement; confusion; and fear. The teachers in my school divide up equally into these 3 groups. As we look at more and more examples of our planned future as a school, the confused and fearful are starting to move into the excited group. But I continue to learn and in the past week have put much effort into talking to the fearful who are either worried or in a small number of cases angry at the proposals.
I want to present myself to the worried and angry as someone who is here to learn from them how we can better explain the changes, what doesn't work for them, and find those all important points we agree on as common ground to working out a way forward. Most of the concern raised by our current change have come down to communication errors. Each time we find the successful way to explain practicalities of what one of the 4 R's will look like, fear dissipates a little. But it's finding a way of jumping each teacher's unique set of hurdles that is the challenge for me.
It is not only the role of being a teacher but also the role of school in society that is being questioned. For example, if schools do not continue with their existing routines, will they achieve the same goal of university entrance (be it with only the minority the school system is truly designed for), while apparently achieving new objectives pushed for by progressives like me?
For now, I will continue to visit and support individual teachers in their own classroom and hope we can share our hurdles and find common ground to build on. Although many parents and students see the positives, it's teachers' who have to change their 4 Rs and it's this that makes progressing education a matter of understanding human nature in the context of any kind of change.

Concrete and pavement will be the focus of the Brownsey Boulevard roundabout and town centre project this week.
The work will consist of pouring concrete for the sidewalk and driveways on Brownsey Boulevard and continuing brick work on the sidewalks and paving of Brownsey.
On Sooke Road, paving will get underway, weather permitting, from west of Brownsey to Church Road.
"The ministry's primary concern is for the safety of the travelling public and construction workers. Lane shifts and traffic patterns are changing daily," said Sonia Lowe, a public affairs officer with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.
Travellers are reminded to be aware of workers, slow down for their safety and follow the directions of traffic control personnel.
The District of Sooke is contributing $3.1 million for the roundabout, which fuses Sooke Road, Brownsey Boulevard and Evergreen Centre into one loop.
The province takes care of the rest with an additional $6 million for a complete revamp of Sooke Road between Otter Point and Church roads. Those improvements include new sidewalks, crosswalks, lighting, curbs, bike lane and bus shelters.
The project remains on schedule and work is expected to be finished this fall.

Police hope to identify this person who was captured on CCTV in the driveway of the victim''s home may be able to assist with their investigation.
A Cranbourne East man has told of his shock after intruders allegedly climbed through his roof and ransacked his home.
According to Mr Messina, the intruders avoided his "massive dog" in the backyard by climbing onto his roof before forcing their way through the manhole.
During the raid, he says the bandits stole items of sentimental value including his grandfather's 24 carat gold necklace, rings and watches he had kept from his 21st birthday, as well as jewellery passed down from family generations.
"That's the main stuff I'm worried about; other stuff can be replaced," he said.
"They went through the whole house, every room, every cupboard, every draw.
His beloved blue and white Honda motorbike worth about $13,000 was also taken from his garage during the raid.
Police spokeswoman Natalie Butler said it's believed two men travelling in a small white hatchback broke into the property about 7.30am.
They allegedly stole the motorbike with registration HRC11 which has yet to be located before leaving about 9.10am.
According to Mr Messina, CCTV footage from his neighbours captured men in the area walking towards his home between 7.45am and 9am.
"They came in through the roof and opened the roller door and the car's been reversed (into the garage) on the footage," Mr Messina said.
Mr Messina, a concreter, left for work about 6.20am and said the intruders were "extremely brazen" to break-in during daylight. "If I was on night shift I would've been coming home at that time," he said.
"I noticed when I pulled in that door was ajar connecting door to the house.
"Looks like a four door Corolla in the footage. It's not clear but you can clearly see they've come from Scullin Street and walked straight across the road straight into my house," he said.

Preston shopping centre placed into administration
By Tim Aldred
News Retail St George's Shopping Centre Preston
Updated: Preston's St George's Shopping Centre has been placed into administration after its owners reportedly defaulted on a loan.
The 280,000 sq ft shopping centre is home to many established retailers and food and drink outlets, including Body Shop, Burger King, Costa, H&M, Pandora and River Island.
The shopping centre was acquired by private equity firm InfraRed Capital Partners through its Active Fund III from Aviva Investors for £73m in 2015.
InfraRed, which also owns a number of other shopping centres across the country, is believed to have defaulted on a loan secured against the Preston property.
Alexander Williams and Andrew Dolliver of Ernst & Young LLP have been appointed as joint administrators to IRAF UK Dragon Limited Partnership, IRAF UK Dragon Nominee 1 Limited and IRAF UK Dragon Nominee 2 Limited. The three are listed as owners of the shopping centre.
Alex Williams said: "The administration of the partnership and the companies will have no operational impact on St George's Shopping Centre which continues to trade in compliance with government Covid regulations on a business as usual basis."
The property managers (Munroe K) and asset managers (Sovereign Centros) of the shopping centre remain in place fulfilling their existing roles.

How Fintech Startup Basis Is Looking To Change Personal Finance For Women
Meha Agarwal
08 Mar'19 4 min read
Only 3% of Indians invest in the stock market, and almost all of them are men
Basis received the SEBI Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) license recently on February 25
It also recently raised an undisclosed amount of seed funding from India/US-based investors
This article is part of Inc42's latest series — Women in Leadership — where we will be featuring stories of women who have not only excelled in their chosen field but also empowered and inspired other women to go beyond their limitations and boundaries. Read more stories here.
Only 3% of Indians invest in the stock market, and almost all of them are men. Compared to the US and some other developed economies, over 50% of people invest, and about half of them are women. The Wharton School graduate Hena Mehta – after spending almost a decade in the US with companies like Goldman Sachs, Square, and working for close to two years with Ezetap in Bengaluru – realised that this problem is extremely widespread in India.
This laid the foundation of Basis – an online women-focused personal finance startup. "The idea was born out of my own pain point: I realised I wasn't owning my personal finance and investing decisions, even though I have a prestigious MBA and worked in financial services," Mehta said.
Ideated in early 2018, Bengaluru-based Basis is a fintech startup focused on transforming financial education and financial decision-making for Indian women. The startup has received the SEBI Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) license recently on February 25. It also launched a content platform on the web and on its Android app in early 2019.
"We expect to launch our guided investments platform (initially in mutual funds) within the next quarter. Until then, we are working on content distribution and growth to engage with as many investors in our target segment as we can. In the next few years, we expect to be a full-service personal finance platform serving the financial needs of first-time investors, particularly the Indian women, " added Mehta.
Recently, Basis raised an undisclosed amount of seed funding from India/US-based investors Nitin Saigal, Daniel Jacobs and Dahm Choi, shared Mehta while speaking to Inc42.

Basis: Creating Differentiation On Financial Content
After conducting nearly 400 in-depth interviews with women across India in the age groups of 24 to 45, the results revealed that FDs/savings accounts and gold (and insurance – if considered an investment) are the most popular avenues to invest.
Interestingly, on average, women save roughly 20% of their income and 70% of the surveyed women have investable income. But, there's an immense knowledge gap and trust gap for Indian women in particular when it comes to these intimidating topics like "investing" and "long-term financial planning".
"The Indian professional women is choosing to stay in the workforce, be single for longer, and value financial independence a lot more than she used to. Yet, most of us don't own our financial lives. That's where I see Basis coming in," she added.
The startup is looking to create differentiation on the basis of its content. As Mehta claims, the content on the Basis platform is not the typical finance content. It aims to simplify concepts of finance that a new user needs to understand. Truly jargon-free and in-sync with the various life events such as career challenges, having kids, getting married, spending habits, etc.
Crowded Wealth Management Space In India
According to 2018 report, Wealth Management Industry in India. (i.e. individuals with investable assets of $1 Mn or more) is expected to grow at a CAGR of 27% over the next five years to approximately INR 400 Tn.
A number of players are looking to get a share of this ever-growing segment including the deep-pocketed ones like Paytm Money, ET MONEY, as well as the early and growth stage startups like Wealthy, Scripbox, Fisdom, WealthTrust, MyUniverse, MoneyLover, MoneyView, MTrakr, and IOU (I Owe You).
"The competition is there. But I don't believe anyone in this space is honing in on a specific segment of our population to understand their attitudes, behaviour and relationship with money," claims Mehta.
She believes that Basis' focus on first knowing, then educating and then serving the emerging investor, and the female emerging investor, in particular, make its growth strategy different. "It's all about connecting with the customer, which I don't believe most companies in this space are doing," she added.
Still, in its early days, Basis has started with its journey in the Indian wealth management space slowly but steadily. Within a span of four months, its web-based content platform has been able to gain around 1500 views and has observed 200 beta app downloads. Initially, targeting the urban professional woman in Tier 1 cities in the age range of 28-40, Basis is now looking to onboard 20K-30K customers on its platform in 2019.

Meha has engineering and MBA degrees, but she has always been a writer at heart. It was the perfect combination of utilising her research and analytical skills and her enthusiasm for writing that sparked her interest in writing about the Indian startup ecosystem – the latest tech and gadgets and the startups that create them. She is always on the lookout for industry-specific stories in niche areas of interest such as ecommerce, fintech, greentech and more.

Windows Phone 7: The OS/2 of this generation?
Photo credit: Nokia
As I wrote in January and as others such as my ZDNet colleague Larry Dignan have also noted, both Nokia and Microsoft have a whole lot riding on the success or failure of the Nokia Lumia 900. It's the first Windows Phone 7 device that has the teeth to compete with iPhone and Android, but the Lumia 900 isn't off to a great start and the uphill climb for Microsoft and Nokia is getting steeper. Unless something changes, Windows Phone 7 is in danger of becoming an operating system known for its quality in the technology industry but never widely-adopted by the masses. Does this sound familiar?

The Lumia 900 is good, as I said in my review. It's good enough to replace an iPhone or an Android device for most things. But, it's not significantly better at enough things to drive lots of conversions from iPhone or Android or to get a lot of new smartphone users to pick Windows Phone 7 over the Apple or Google platforms.
If that challenge wasn't daunting enough, a string of bad press and self-inflicted missteps have meant that more obstacles are continuing to stack up against Microsoft and Nokia (and AT&T, the U.S. carrier of the Lumia 900). Here is the litany of problems:
Launch date – We'd been hearing for months that Microsoft, Nokia, and AT&T were planning a huge promotional campaign to bring the Lumia 900 to market. AT&T said the Lumia 900 would get "one of its biggest launches ever." It was going to be Nokia's big re-entry into the U.S. smartphone market. The launch was set for Sunday, April 8. Nokia even hosted a huge launch party in Times Square in New York City on the Friday night before the big launch. Only one problem: they scheduled the launch on a U.S. holiday. Veteran Windows commentator Paul Thurrott posted on Twitter: "Nokia launches Lumia 900 today in US … On a day when NO retail stores are open (Easter). I give up."
Technical difficulties – The Lumia 900 launched with a wireless flaw that Nokia had to fix and then offer a $100 credit to buyers as a make-good. As CNET reported, "Some early Lumia 900 customers found that their phones failed to get a data connection, an issue Nokia confirmed and said it is fixing. As a peace offering, the company is offering this promotion both to appease existing customers and entice potential new ones, with the $100 fully covering the $99.99 handset."
Retail apathy – While TechRepublic's Bill Detwiler was recently at a retail location asking about the Lumia 900 and the HTC Titan II (another WP7 device that launched on April 8), he pulled out his iPhone 4S to get some information. The salesperson gave him a very confused look and asked, "You're switching from an iPhone to a Windows Phone?" Even worse, I've heard stories from several people who went to retail locations to buy a new smartphone and when they inquired about Windows Phone, the sales associated steered them in another direction. Nokia and Microsoft have reportedly given away 10,000 Lumia 900 devices to AT&T retail store employees in the U.S. to help win them over to the platform.
European disdain – In Europe, where the Lumia 800 (the little brother of the 900) has been on sale since December, representatives of four major wireless carriers said that Nokia Lumia phones weren't good enough to compete against Apple's iPhones or Samsung's Android phones, according to a Reuters report. One telecom executive told Reuters, "If the Lumia with the same hardware came with Android in it and not Windows, it would be much easier to sell." That's a bitter pill considering Nokia was the runaway marketshare leader for smartphones in Europe just a few years ago.
Fortunately, there have also been a few encouraging signs:
Nokia said that it has sold so many Lumia 900 phones that it's having a hard time keeping up with the inventory demands (although the company has refused to disclose sales numbers).
On opening weekend, the Lumia 900 became the top-selling cellphone on Amazon.com.
A poll on WPcentral.com found that most of the customers who were buying the Lumia 900 were coming from iPhone (29%) or Android (28%).
Still, the company that Microsoft picked to be its No. 1 hardware partner for Windows Phone 7 is struggling badly. On April 11, Nokia announced the latest in a string of disappointing earnings reports and told financial analysts that things are going to get worse in the immediate future as Nokia phones lose traction against Android devices in emerging markets.
It's not like either Microsoft or Nokia are going to get out of the smartphone business if the Lumia 900 isn't a big hit. But, as I said in January when the Lumia 900 was announced, if this device isn't a hit then Microsoft and Nokia will become an increasingly isolated duo. Without a sign that WP7 is finally gaining momentum, it's doubtful that HTC, Samsung, LG, Dell, or any other hardware manufacturers will jump on the Windows Phone 7 bandwagon.
That will leave Nokia and Microsoft to struggle along for another year or two with low single-digit marketshare in smartphones and little hope of making a significant impact on the mobile market. While that might be a shame — as I've said many times, Windows Phone 7 is one of the best pieces of software Microsoft has built — it would not be unprecedented. It reminds me of the situation with OS/2 in the late 1980s and early 1990s. OS/2 was a joint project between IBM and Microsoft to build a next-generation operating system for PCs. Although most technologists judged it a superior piece of software, OS/2 lost to Microsoft Windows, which came to market sooner, had more third-party apps, and won over the hardware manufacturers because they could do more with it to make it their own.
There are still people in the technology industry today who talk about how good OS/2 was and shake their heads when they think about why it wasn't more widely adopted by the public. Unless something happens to change the trajectory of Windows Phone 7, a lot of people in tech could be saying the same thing about it a decade from now.
