most influential leaders and thinkers. Click on the videos below to watch the interviews:
Executive rentals can seem like a lot of work, even if the returns are greater. There's also the question of shorter tenancies and more demanding renters looking to be waited on hand and foot, but the time and money investment may well be worth, reports Jemima Codrington.
Video transcript below:
Jemima Codrington: Executive rentals in major urban markets are always in demand. Could it be time to add one to your portfolio? We find out in this week's Investor Insight on Crew TV.
Executive suites can make a great addition to a residential portfolio. So what exactly can investors expect from a high end rented property.
Paul Kandakos, President, Realty Hub
Paul Kandakos: Well high end executive rental units can have its perks and perils, so that's something investors have to be aware of. On the perk side what you will find is that executive rentals deliver great cash flow. That's why a lot of people try to get into a sub set of renting. Now on the downside, what you are going to find is that you have to be a lot more active in terms of management, because it's typically catering to executives that are coming in from out of town and trying to fill the gap between a short [way power] stay and a long term residential tenancy.
So you are looking to typically between that 6 to 12 month gap, maybe even shorter depending on the executive that's coming in out of town. What you want to do is, you want to also make sure that the property is properly furnished. You want to get an interior decorator in there to make sure that it's living up to the standards something executive.
Because they are paying a premium to market of just an unfurnished rental unit, you actually have to do a nice job and know your demographic and cater that demographic by making sure that the unit is properly furnished. So on the upside what you have is you've got great cash flow, on the potential downside maybe not downside is that you have to actively manage this property, you have to make sure that you've got décor done properly to match with the demographic that you are catering to.

Charles City County Record Book, 1692-1700
A portion of the Charles City County Record Book, 1692-1700, taken from the Charles City courthouse in 1862 during the Peninsula Campaign of the Civil War, was returned to the Library of Virginia in 2016 by a Pennsylvania family who had cared for it for over three decades. It was reunited with another portion of the record book that had been returned to Virginia decades earlier. Record books summarize the matters brought before the county court and are an invaluable genealogical and historical resource. Deeds, wills, and estate inventories are the most common record types found in this volume.

CAIRO — Egypt's highest security body warned yesterday that the clock is ticking for a peaceful end to the standoff over sit-ins by ousted President Mohammed Morsi's supporters, suggesting that authorities will break up the vigils unless mediation efforts produce results soon.
More than a month after the military overthrew Morsi, tens of thousands of the Islamist leader's supporters remain camped out in two main crossroads in Cairo demanding his reinstatement. Egypt's military-backed interim leadership has issued a string of warnings for them to disperse or security forces will move in, setting the stage for a potential bloody showdown.
Also yesterday, authorities announced a court case accusing the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and his powerful deputy of inciting murder will start Aug. 25. Morsi hails from the Brotherhood.
The US and EU are trying to find a peaceful resolution to the standoff to avoid a repeat of deadly street violence that has killed more than 250 people — at least 130 of which were pro-Morsi protesters shot dead by security forces in two bloody clashes — since the July 3 military coup.
A senior US official stayed on in Cairo for an extra day yesterday to hold another round of talks with officials on both sides of the political divide. While diplomats raced to find a compromise, the Egyptian interim government signaled that its patience with the pro-Morsi camp was running out.
The National Defense Council, which is led by the interim president and includes top Cabinet ministers, said the search for a peaceful resolution is not open-ended. The council said a negotiated resolution also would not shield what it called "law-breakers" and others who incite against the state from legal proceedings.
It said a chance should be given to all "negotiations and mediations" that could end the protests without bloodshed, but that the timeframe should be "defined and limited and ... not infringe on the law and the rights of citizens." It also called on the protesters to abandon the sit-ins and join the political road map announced the day of Morsi's ouster.
With the Islamist-backed constitution adopted last year suspended and the legislature dominated by Morsi's supporters dissolved, the road map provides for a new or an amended constitution to be put to a national referendum later this year and presidential and parliamentary elections early in 2014
In a move that underlined the government's resolve in dealing with the protests — now in their second month — Egyptian authorities on yesterday denied Yemen's Nobel Peace Prize winner Tawakkul Karman entry into Egypt after she landed at Cairo airport on yesterday.
Karman, the first Arab woman to win the Nobel Peace prize, has stated her opposition to Egypt's military coup and said she had intended to join the pro-Morsi sit-in protests.
Airport officials said she was sent back on the yesterday flight that brought her to Cairo from the United Arab Emirates. They did not say why she was denied entry, only that her name had been placed on a list. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.
The decision to bar Karman suggests authorities wanted to deny the pro-Morsi camp the publicity she would have generated and the lift her presence would have given to the Islamists' argument that the outcry over Morsi's ouster is shared by prominent figures outside Egypt.
Karman shared the Nobel Peace prize in 2011 with Liberia's President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and women's rights campaigner Leymah Gbowee. She earned it for her role in the protests that swept Yemen in 2011 to force longtime dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh from office. Saleh stepped down last year, handing over power to his deputy as part of a transition plan.
Pro-Morsi protesters blocked a major road yesterday that runs through most of the city and leads to its international airport.
Meanwhile, US Deputy Secretary of State William Burns extended his visit to Cairo by one day so he can have further talks with Egyptian leaders. He met Defense Minister Gen. Abdel-Fatah el-Sissi, who led the coup, on yesterday. A member of the pro-Morsi delegation that met Saturday with Burns said the four delegates also would hold another round of talks with the US diplomat.
At the core of discussions is the political future of the Muslim Brotherhood and its Islamist allies. The Brotherhood says it is looking for concessions before beginning talks with the military-backed administration. These measures could include releasing detained Brotherhood leaders, unfreezing the group's assets, lifting a ban on Islamist television stations loyal to Morsi and reigning in the use of force against its protesters.
Morsi has been held at undisclosed locations since July 3. He faces accusations of comprising with the militant Palestinian Hamas group to escape prison in 2011. Morsi has been visited by Catherine Ashton, the EU's foreign policy chief, and a delegation of African statesmen. Ashton reported that he was well and had access to television and newspapers.
Egypt's state news agency said on yesterday Brotherhood leader Mohammed Badie and his deputy Khairat el-Shater are to stand trial Aug. 25 for complicity and incitement in the killing of eight demonstrators outside the group's Cairo headquarters.
Badie is at still large, while el-Shater is in custody.
The killings took place during the first day of the mass street protests calling for Morsi's ouster. The agency also said that senior Brotherhood figure Rashad Bayoumi will face trial on the same charges. Three others face murder charges in the same case.
Morsi's palace aides Rifaah el-Tahtawi and Asaad el-Sheikha meanwhile faced questions over allegations they illegally held and tortured anti-Morsi protesters last Dec. 5 after supporters of the ousted leader descended upon a group of unarmed demonstrators camped outside the presidential palace. Clashes lasting all day left at least 10 dead and hundreds injured.
Both el-Tahtawi and el-Sheikha are in detention.

What you need to know before you go
Bulgaria is a mountainous region, with an eastern border tracing the Black Sea Coast and pristine shores of Durankulak in the north. Sometimes overlooked by travelers visiting Eastern Europe, the Balkan country has plenty of sightseeing opportunities for those looking for adventure. Start at the capital city, Sofia, where you'll find Duhlata Cave (Bulgaria's longest cave) and Boyana Falls. Take a drive out to the Rila and Pirin national parks, both of which have glacier lakes, rugged peaks and miles of trails.
Bulgaria's many quaint towns allow you to soak up some history and experience traditional Bulgarian festivals. Rural villages like Kovachevitsa and Leshten feature wooden houses and paved alleys dating back to the 19th century, while Kazanlak is known for rose farms that produce the world-famous Bulgarian rose oil.
Top destinations in BulgariaWhere will you go next?
Sofia, the vibrant capital of Bulgaria, is a good starting point for exploring the rest of the country. Full of art and history, along with a great nightlife scene, the town is also relatively inexpensive compared to most European destinations. Start at Alexander Nevski Square for picturesque landmarks like Alexander Nevski Cathedral and St. Sofia Church, before ending the day with locals at a chalga club for a unique nightlife experience.
On the outskirts of Sofia, Boyana Church and Shishman Street are must-sees for more history, as well as friendly cafes, street art and fun festivals. Mount Vitosha is part of a national park right on the city limits, where you'll find winding ski slopes and hiking trails with impressive views.Read more

Ptolemaic system
Ptolemaic systemtŏl˝əmā´ĭk [key], historically the most influential of the geocentric cosmological theories, i.e., theories that placed the earth motionless at the center of the universe with all celestial bodies revolving around it (see cosmology). The system is named for the Greco-Egyptian astronomer Ptolemy (fl. 2d cent. AD); it dominated astronomy until the advent of the heliocentric Copernican system in the 16th cent.

Bio-Cor is a combination of Music with Frequency healing based on your own frequency and a special healing music. First musical file is recorded in Tibet from 7 Tibetian Bowls and modified based on your own frequency measured by Bio-Well. During 10 minutes music slowly transforms to the most positive healing sound. Other 7 musical files for all 7 Chakras are composed by Kimba Arem from Colorado, USA. In these compositions Kimba is using the principle of binaural effect.
Binaural beats, or binaural tones, are auditory processing artifacts, or apparent sounds, caused by specific physical stimuli. This effect was discovered in 1839 by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove and earned greater public 5 awareness in the late 20th century based on results that binaural beats could help induce relaxation, meditation, creativity and other desirable mental states. The effect on the brainwaves depends on the difference in frequencies of each tone: for example, if 300 Hz was played in one ear and 310 in the other, then the binaural beat would have a frequency of 10 Hz.,
The brain produces a phenomenon resulting in low-frequency pulsations in the amplitude and sound localization of a perceived sound when two tones at slightly different frequencies are presented separately, one to each of a subject's ears, using stereo headphones. A beating tone will be perceived, as if the two tones mixed naturally, out of the brain. The frequencies of the tones must be below 1,000 hertz for the beating to be noticeable. The difference between the two frequencies must be small (less than or equal to 30 Hz) for the effect to occur; otherwise, the two tones will be heard separately, and no beat will be perceived. Binaural beats are of interest to neurophysiologists investigating the sense of hearing. Binaural beats reportedly influence the brain in more subtle ways through the entrainment of brainwaves and have been reported to reduce anxiety and to provide other health benefits such as control over pain.

Preparing for the future is part of life. That includes preparing for the day when either you or your spouse passes away. By gathering some important information now, and keeping it all in one place, you can spend less time dealing with the administrative issues that go along with death, and enjoy more time with your loved ones and family during life.
Have the basics handy
When you're dealing with the pain of losing someone, even the simplest information may slip your mind. Be sure to have your spouse or partner's:
- Social Security information
- Date of birth
- Primary/secondary address
- Account information, including financial accounts, insurance policies, retail account information, and information regarding electronic accounts and passwords
Other documents that can be helpful include:
- Passport
- Driver's license
- Military I.D.
- Citizenship papers, green card or visa (if your partner is from another country)
Finally, make a note to get at least a dozen certified copies of the death certificate. Many government agencies and business will require them.
Ask about clubs and associations
Any groups that your loved one has joined, personally or professionally, should be informed in the event of their death. Keep a list of names and contact information so that you know who to get in touch with.
Contact the appropriate professionals
If your partner has a lawyer, or if you share one, he or she should be one of the first people you contact in case of death. An attorney should be able to provide access to your partner's will or other estate documentation. You may also want to contact financial professionals and accountants.
If you and your partner live separately, you may also need to consider whether to turn off utilities or change the name on utility accounts. If he or she is a renter, you should notify the landlord.
Making every moment count
Even with the best preparation, dealing with these logistics is a challenge for anyone who has lost someone they love. But by gathering this information now, you can rest easier knowing that you're prepared, and spend more time enjoying your loved one and family today.

Natural and man-made disasters can happen suddenly and at anytime. Being prepared can reduce fear, anxiety and losses that accompany disasters. Communities, families and individuals should know what to do in the event of a fire and where to seek shelter during a tornado. They should be ready to evacuate their homes and take refuge in public shelters and know how to care for their basic medical needs.
The need to prepare is real. Disasters disrupt hundreds of thousands of lives every year. Each disaster has lasting effects, both to people and property. If a disaster occurs in our community, local government and disaster-relief organizations will try to help you, but you need to be ready as well. Local responders may not be able to reach you immediately, or they may need to focus their efforts elsewhere. You should be ready to be self-sufficient for at least three days. This may mean providing for your own shelter, first aid, food, water and sanitation.
Family Emergency Plans
The Oklahoma State Department of Health provides an easy-to-use template for creating your own family emergency plan. Start protecting your family today by downloading, printing, and completing this valuable tool. Be sure to discuss your Family Emergency Preparedness Plan with all of your loved ones to ensure that everyone knows what to do when disaster strikes.
Are You Ready?
FEMA has also developed a user friendly guide to preparedness planning entitled "Are You Ready?" The guide has been designed to help the citizens learn how to protect themselves and their families against all types of hazards. It can be used as a reference source or as a step-by-step manual. The focus of the content is on how to develop, practice, and maintain emergency plans that reflect what must be done before, during and after a disaster to protect people and their property. Also included is information on how to assemble a disaster supplies kit that contains the food, water and other supplies in sufficient quantity for individuals and their families to survive following a disaster in the event they must rely on their own resources.

PM 9715 Roller Conveyor for GMA pallets
The roller conveyor is particularly suited for GMA pallets, but also for other pallet types for horizontal transport of full and empty pallets. The rollers can be relocated quickly due to the tangential drive principle and frame design. The chain tensioning station on the outside allows for easy re-tensioning of the precision roller chain. The drive can be installed on the right side or optionally on the left in the direction of travel (DOT). Floor irregularities can easily be compensated with adjustable supports.

Anime, while an entertainment medium that is now widely enjoyed regardless of age, a lot of people that feels Anime is just for kids still exists. And while like in any other medium, there are indeed a lot of shows aimed at kids, the series we most love and discuss are probably aimed at a more mature Audience.
Last month Japanese site "Goo Ranking" asked their users the questions: What Anime series would you recommend for a mature audience to the point of get them hooked?. And while indeed Seinen genre is abundant on the list we get to see some nice surprises. Also of notice is how series like Cowboy Bebop or Evangelion are not on that list, that's why polls are so interesting. Here's the list:
1.- Space Brothers (Uchū Kyōdai)
2.- Shingeki no Kyojin
3.- Toshokan Sensō
4.- Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica
5/6.- Natsume Yūjin-Chō
5/6.- Silver Spoon
7.- Ghost in The Shell
8.- Anohana
9.- Usagi Drop
10.- Mushishi
11/12.- Code Geass
11/12.- Monogatari
13.- Tiger & Bunny
14 Planetes
15 Dennō Coil
16.- Eden of the East
17.- Psycho-pass
18.- Fate/Zero
19.- Kill la Kill
20.- Steins;Gate
21.- Katanagatari
22/23.- Eureka seveN
22/23.- Black Lagoon
24.- Hanasaku Iroha
25.- Tatami Galaxy
26/27/28.- Gurren Lagan
26/27/28.- Mawaru Penguindrum
26/27/28.- Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
29/30.- Baccano!
29/30.- Durarara
31.- Samurai Champloo
32.- Welcome to the N.H.K.
33.- Gankutsuou
34.- Mononoke
35.- Samurai Flamenco
As CR pointed out, 10 of the 35 ranked titles were broadcasted on Fuji TV's Noitamina time slot, which was launched precisely with the intention of expanding the target audience beyond the typical young male demographic (Shōnen)
So with all this, What series would you recommend to someone that thinks Anime is just for kids?, and inversely, What series would you like for your kids to watch?
I'll start, first the series that I would recommend to someone that thinks Anime is just for kids will be Chobits, (while not as intense as the manga), my young mind was not mature enough to get some of the dark things that are happening in the series, the really complex feelings and relationships each character has, the fear of being ostracized by society, and coming to terms with what one really wants in life and how you look at it. A rewatch (and read) some years later really put the series in a very different (and positive) light for me
Now the series that I would want my kids to watch is Touch. While there are some tragic moments in the show, the message of love, camaraderie, effort, fair play, etc., etc. is something that the show excels at depicting (and I want them to like baseball :P)
So now it's your turn, again the questions. What series would you recommend to someone that thinks Anime is just for kids?, and What series would you like for your kids to watch?

How You Can Get Everything Wrong and Still Find The Man of Your Dreams
Karin is tall, thin and blonde. She's a former dancer who makes a good living as a doctor. She's a patron of the arts, an animal lover, and has a quick wit.
Karin is also 42, never married, and desperately wants children.
I took her on as a Love U Masters coaching client because she's highly motivated.
Yet the second we started working together, Karin began to dictate how our coaching would go — and thus gave me a small glimpse of why she's single at 42.
"I'm not going to date online. Only weirdos who do that. What if someone sees me? I'd be too embarrassed. The kind of men I'm looking for don't date online."
"I think you tell women to settle. I'm not going to settle. I haven't waited this long to find love only to be with a man who is beneath my standards."
And so on. And so forth.
I reminded Karin that 50 million people have tried online dating. I reminded her that if a man sees her online, he can't judge her because he's dating online as well.
The first three weeks of coaching Karin, we literally didn't do any coaching.
All I did was cajole her into putting her profile on Match.com so we could actually have, you know, DATES to discuss during the rest of her coaching.
I reminded Karin that 50 million people have tried online dating.
I reminded her that if a man sees her online, he can't judge her because he's dating online as well.
I reminded her that my wife, my mom, my sister, my sister's husband, my wife's best friend, my wife's best friend's husband and pretty much every other single person I know has tried it. And we're not all losers.
Finally, Karin got her professional photos and professional profile up on Match.
It was like magic. Even though Karin was in a highly unpopular demographic (42 and looking to have babies) she still got tons of attention online. Scores of men. Attractive men. Successful men. Age-appropriate men.
Quickly, Karin realized that her fears were considerably overstated.
Within weeks, Karin found herself dating a good guy named Gary. They'd gone out 3 or 4 times and he always followed up immediately to see her again. Moreover, he was enthusiastic, cute, successful and very much interested in Karin as a girlfriend.
Naturally, Karin started second-guessing her own interest him.
"He's too nice," she said. "He always asks for my opinion on what to do on dates. Why is he so eager to please?"
Didn't you complain that in your last passionate love affair, you never knew where you stood with the guy? That he wasn't considerate enough?
"Yes, but–How about the fact that Gary is a teacher who drives a Toyota? How can he support me? What are my Mercedes-driving friends going to think?"
You're a doctor; he doesn't have to support you. And who cares what your friends think as long as you're happy in your relationship?
"Yeah, well, the other day, in the museum, he made a joke about a modernist sculpture. I thought it was so classless of him to do that when an artist poured his heart and soul into creating it."
He made a joke about a piece of art? And you want to break up with him for it?
"He apologized to me the next day because he saw how it upset me, but all I could think was: why did you make that dumb joke in the first place?"
Because it was funny? Because it was no big deal? Because everyone makes jokes about modern art? Either way, Karin, the fact that he apologized to you when he's done nothing wrong means that you're dating a saint. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss him.
After a half-hour of back and forth, Karin made her decision.
She was dumping Gary.
He was too safe.
He was too nice.
He wasn't able to support her financially.
And if this wasn't enough, Karin simply didn't feel what she was supposed to feel.
Fair enough.
I told Karin that I didn't care about Gary, per se, but that if she were going to achieve her goal of finding love, she should start giving men like Gary a closer look.
She'd spent 42 years chasing exciting, charismatic, unpredictable, wildly attractive men…and here she was with a dating coach trying to figure out where she went wrong.
"THIS is where you've gone wrong", I told her. "THIS is your chance to correct it."
But Karin's mind was made up.
She broke it off with Gary and they agreed to "remain friends".
She put herself back on Match.com and prepared herself for the flood of responses that she got in her first month online.
Two weeks later, Karin was crying to me on the phone.
"The responses have slowed down", she told me.
"The quality of the guys has gotten worse," she observed.
"I'm really worried that I made a mistake," she whimpered.
Instead of playing the "I told you so" card, I continued to support Karin's dream.
I spend a lot of time writing about sad things: men who lie, men who cheat, men who won't commit, etc. This blog doesn't change the fact that these men are still out there.
I didn't tell her she blew it with Gary; I did remind her that the Garys of the world — cute, smart, thoughtful, patient, relationship-oriented — were the type of men she should consider whenever they come along.
I told her that everyone goes through online dry spells and that a new guy will emerge in a matter of weeks. Promise.
Two weeks later, Karin revealed that she and Gary were "hanging out as friends" when he suddenly kissed her.
And after further reflection, she would give Gary — and their relationship – another shot.
Sure, it was a happy ending — another client who achieved her goal and got her money's worth — but I didn't have a warm and fuzzy feeling about it. Why?
Because Karin was still the same person she was before — neurotic, critical, unrealistic, and bound to dissect Gary and dump him in favor of a fantasy man who would never commit to her.
So imagine my surprise last week when I received this email from Karin:
Hi Evan!
I can't believe it's taken me so long to tell you this, but… I'm married! To Gary – the man about whom you were coaching me when we parted. We had an amazingly beautiful and intimate wedding with 50 guests. We honeymooned in Tahiti.
Needless to say, this is a dream come true for me. I am so happy, because I feel safe and secure with a man who is devoted to me. He is everything I was looking for – although it took you to make me realize that. Of all the thank-you notes I have written (and have yet still to write …), yours is the most important to me – because there is no way I would be a happily married woman today without you.
Gary is everything I need, and more – but I still couldn't fully accept that when you and I finished off in February. At that time, I still couldn't help looking for perfection, magnifying shortcomings, and not accepting what was most important: unwavering interest in me as a person, following through on commitments, and truly wanting the same things I wanted in a relationship. I still wasn't appreciating Gary's amazingly hot body, razor-sharp intellect, and unique life experiences he had created for himself. Or that he made me breakfast in bed, put up with my neuroses, and just wanted to be with me. All I saw was that he didn't create a Fortune 500 company, drive a Tesla, or lunch regularly with Gavin Newsom. Yes, I am ashamed.
There is no way I would have gotten to that point without you, Evan. No chance I have found Gary and let him into my heart if it hadn't been for you. You were instrumental every step of the way: from that incredible online profile, to actually getting me to put it online (an entirely separate step, as you well know), to coaching me through all those first dates, to helping me realize why Gary was the kind of guy I should be with … I can't thank you enough.
I continue to read your weekly post, and I couldn't agree more with everything you say (yes, pretty much everything). For any woman who wants a real and meaningful relationship but continues coming up short, you are the man for the job to figure out where the stumbling blocks lie and implement a personalized plan to overcome them. Or via the ebook – I bet it is just as helpful for those who want a more economical approach to coaching (although you were worth every penny 🙂 I plan on reading it once the dust settles on setting up a new household (and those thank-you notes are written …) because it will not only speak to my fascination with human relationships but also keep me abreast of how you communicate your wisdom. Regardless of how women want to go about finding the relationship they want and need, you are the one to help them find it.
You sure did it for me. I have a mature, supportive, satisfying, committed relationship (it's even a marriage!), and I am so happy. Thank you so much for everything!!
All my best,
You know what I did when I got this email?
I ran into the kitchen to find my wife.
Tears were brimming out of my eyes.
I couldn't believe that Karin found true love — much less gave me credit for it.
I know this is a long blog post.
I know that it can be interpreted as egocentric or self-aggrandizing.
But you know what?
I just think it's inspiring.
I spend a lot of time writing about sad things: men who lie, men who cheat, men who won't commit, etc.
This blog doesn't change the fact that these men are still out there.
Still, I think Karin's email is a useful reminder that you MUST have hope.
Karin didn't believe in online dating.
She dated online.
Karin didn't believe in compromising.
She compromised.
Karin didn't think she had to accept anything less than a perfect man because she'd held out for so long.
She accepted Gary.
And she WON.
If you've been sitting on the sidelines, wondering why love isn't finding you, ask yourself if you're willing to do what Karin did: look within, challenge yourself, and open up to a whole new way of thinking.
Who knows? You could be next.

The prospect of growing crops in vertical farms directly inside of cities has been on the collective wish-list of environmentalists, sustainable developers, and futurists for quite some time now. And now it looks like it's finally starting to happen. Land-strapped Singapore has opened its first vertical farm — an innovation that will increase the variety of foods it has available and decrease its dependance on foreign imports.
And indeed, a major problem facing Singapore (and many other cities) today is land scarcity. Located at the tip of the Malay Peninsula, it is an island country that consists of a mere 710 square kilometers (271 square miles) — and most of it is developed and urbanized. Today, only 7% of Singapore's vegetables are grown locally. But by virtue of the new facility, it's looking to change the situation.
Developed by Sky Greens Farms, the vertical farm consists of 120 aluminum towers that extend over 9 meters (30 feet) in height. In total, the vertical farm is able to produce vegetables at a rate of 0.5 tonnes per day. The company is hoping to attract investors so that it can devote another USD$21M dollars for upgrades. Ideally, they'd like to construct as many as 300 towers — enough to produce two tonnes of vegetables per day.
Currently, the farm is able to grow three kinds of vegetables, and they can only be found at the local FairPrice Finest supermarkets, but at a price that's 10 to 20 cents more than vegetables from other sources. But according to Channel News Asia, customers are enthusiastic about the new products and the supermarkets are struggling to keep the vegetables in stock. Moreover, Sky Greens expects the price to drop as the farm ramps up supply.

YouTube might need to rethink their new InVideo advertising scheme based on initial feedback to the popular video sharing Web site.
Most users responding to a YouTube blog post asking for feedback gave the idea a resounding thumbs down, and one even made a video to share his displeasure.
The responses, a total of 132 as of this writing, may best be summarized by the first post: "Yuck" wrote user 'quepasakoolj18', of Oro Valley, Arizona.
The new InVideo ads, launched by Google Inc.'s YouTube division on Wednesday, start as an overlay on the bottom 20 percent of a video, and people can click and watch the advertisement if they want to. If the user does not click on the overlay, the ad will simply disappear. They are designed to interfere as little as possible with viewing. If a user clicks on the advertisement, the video they were watching pauses while the ad plays.
One responder to the YouTube blog post, bdc2005, was disappointed about an apparent lack of creativity in the advertising scheme. "You guys ripped off VideoEgg. What happened to innovation?" the posting says.
And a banner on VideoEgg Inc.'s home page says in bold letters: "Welcome YouTube, Seriously. We invented the video overlay ad about a year ago. We are delighted that the market is finally catching on to a vital new approach to video advertising."
YouTube could not be reached for comment. The company did not claim to invent the idea, merely that it would launch the overlays.
Mostly, users expressed dissatisfaction over the new ad scheme, and a number said they would turn to other Web sites that host videos in response to the move.
"Please don't ruin the YouTube experience. I really don't want to have to upload all my videos to a different site. But I will," wrote drivin98.
Several users did not like the intrusion on creativity. "These videos are made by us, for us, and should not see the creative content impeded," wrote video maker EloiCasali.
Cenzo74 said the advertisements will taint the videos, and could contain content the video owner personally dislikes or is against.
"Video is art. Film is art. And for you to paint over their artwork is a complete atrocity. Place your ads somewhere else," he wrote.
Placing advertisements elsewhere or finding other ways to make money were another major theme of the responses. Mainyard48 prefers pre-roll ads, while other users asked for advertisements beside videos, above or below, "but not in the video," wrote user Tupisuis. Several people even asked to be charged for a premium service that did not include advertising.
Some people came to YouTube's defense, with user Avum pointing out it is spending a lot of money to host all of the videos on its Web site and needs to make money to pay for that.
There were also signs that other users might come around to the idea. Some of the postings indicated the user had not actually seen the new video overlays, but had merely heard about them. User glennrr wrote that it was "not as bad as it sounded. Good job."
To be sure, the idea is new and some people could get used to it over time. But the overall tenor of the responses was negative, and indicate most YouTube users would rather find another video sharing Web site than be forced to watch advertisements.

Top college talent takes in All-Star atmosphere
Set to be recognized at FanFest, baseball's future prospects visit Citi Field
NEW YORK -- Prospects Stuart Turner and Marco Gonzales saw the future on Sunday morning at Citi Field, and they liked what was staring back at them.
Jana Howser stepped on the field a few hours later before the start of the 2013 Futures Game, reminisced about the past, shared her thoughts about the state of college baseball, and like the two prospects before her, thought about the days ahead and all of the good that is still to come in the game she loves.
"I believe that college baseball is the best it has ever been," she said. "It's a wonderful time for the sport of baseball. It's an incredible time for college baseball."
On Monday, Turner, Gonzales, Howser and members of the National College Baseball Hall of Fame will take center stage at FanFest for College Baseball Awards. Along with Turner, who will be recognized as the winner of the Johnny Bench Award for the best catcher in the country, Gonzales will also be honored as the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award winner.
"This award means my coaches and teammates had faith in me to keep me on the field, even when I'm not pitching," Gonzales said. "It's a tribute to my passion to the game, and I'm grateful to get the opportunity."
Other award winners who will be recognized but will not be in attendance are: Jonathan Gray, the third overall pick by the Rockies in this year's Draft out of Oklahoma, as National Pitcher of the Year; Alex Bregman, the current shortstop for LSU, as the Brooks Wallace Award winner for the nation's best shortstop; Gloucester County coach Skip Bertman as the National Coach of the Year; and Kris Bryant, the No. 2 pick overall by the Cubs out of the University of San Diego, as the winner of the Dick Howser Trophy for college baseball's top player.
"The Howser Trophy is in its 27th year in existences and recognizes a player not only for baseball but also great character," said Howser, who will present the Howser Award, which is named after her father, the late Dick Howser. "Character is important. The person who wins the award cares about the world and the people around him and who they come into contact with or they touch."
Turner, who starred at University of Mississippi, was selected by the Twins in the third round. Gonzales, who played collegiately at Gonzaga, was the Cardinals' first-round pick, No. 19 overall.
On Sunday, Turner and Gonzales toured Citi Field and met a group of famous baseball figures that included Frank Robinson, Nomar Garciaparra, and Edgardo Alfonzo, who managed the World Team.
The pair also watched the game from a suite. But perhaps the sweetest part of the day was watching batting practice and the game itself.
"[The Futures Game] is something I will keep in the back of my mind to strive for," Turner said. "I see them as goals, like stepping stones, along the way with the ultimate goal of playing MLB. To come here and see a different side of it is neat. I have high standards of myself and set high and attainable goals. I try day by day to accomplish them."
Said Gonzales, "To be able to experience all this and take it in is very special. This is pretty inspiring to me. You see that hard works pays off. You see everyone enjoying it and hopefully, I can be a part of it one day."
Monday might be an even better day.
"We are all excited about the awards," Mike Gustafson, executive director of National College Baseball Hall of Fame. "The formal announcement took place in Lubbock in June and Howser Trophy is analogous to the Heisman trophy. It's award season and soon we will be looking to next year."
It's already been a great trip for Howser.
"I remember so vividly my father being the third-base coach and then managing the New York Yankees, and this time of the year is filled with all kinds of wonderful memories, because my father was in baseball in different capacities," she said. "He really embodied the spirit of great achievement and enjoying what we do, whatever it is we choose to do. Being in New York feels wonderful, it really does."

Former Chelsea and Barcelona star Deco has failed a doping test, it emerged on Tuesday.
The Portuguese midfielder, who plays for Brazilian champions Fluminense, tested positive for banned substance Furosemide following his side's clash with Boavista on March 30.
The 35-year-old has not travelled with the squad for their Copa Libertadores clash with Emelec in Ecuador this Thursday.
Deco is believed to have ingested the substance through some vitamin supplements, which he purchased at a pharmacy. Reports in Brazil claim he has appointed solicitors to take action against the company that produce the product he bought.
The news comes just two weeks after another doping case hit Brazilian football, when Vasco da Gama midfielder Carlos Alberto tested positive for two banned substances following a 3-2 win over Deco's Fluminense side in early March.
Earlier on Tuesday, Eufemiano Fuentes was found guilty of endangering public health by a court in Spain after a lengthy investigation into suspected doping offences in both cycling and European football.
Deco represented Chelsea between 2008 and 2010, scoring six goals in 57 appearances.

I was blogging for a small invisible audience that I kept track of with feed reader numbers and even though I received no feedback, perhaps that was feedback enough. It didn't matter in the beginning, but when I spent time reading other blogs and seeing the many comments left for others, it started to bother me that I wasn't receiving any. I wanted to do more things to show how happy and full and creative my life was, but I don't have time to take photos of me and L crafting and playing outside in beautiful places. (I still don't know who takes all of these stunning photos on other blogs when it seems to be just mom and kids.) I'm really reading books all day (the same one over and over) and avoiding blocks on the floor and doing dishes and being pulled towards hallways and crevices that intrigue L which he must show me. I don't bake delicious things every day in my well-lit spotless kitchen (I wish), nor do I even get out of my pajamas often enough to think about styling myself. I wear pretty much the same things over and over again and my hair is just washed and left to dry by itself. This doesn't mean I don't take care of myself, but other more important things seem to come up and I don't mind.
It just seems so silly to be caught up in this made up world of perfection. It really does not matter that only a few people (who I actually know in real life) reply, because it makes sense. They care about me and what I write about my life and family; for everyone else, this makes complete sense and I completely agree, now that I've given up that envy of others. I don't want it to feel forced anymore. I was never dishonest about what I did and what I shared on here, but the heart behind it was to show and get attention, some sort of acknowledgment that, "yes you are living a great life." How silly.
I like spending my evenings reading or catching up on dramas with Tare or just being still. I don't have time for blogging right now and it feels nice to step away and enjoy memories for myself. (Path and Instagram are exceptions! ;) I want to be more honest about how imperfect I am so I write this holding back the urge to edit myself. I'm being honest about how I've felt and it is a little embarrassing to bare. I am so used to editing my words because I thought no one would want to read it but this time I want this on record.
Readings that convicted and made me reflect on myself...
The Fight of My Life
The Disease Called Perfection
When You Want to be Known
My absence from this place is giving me time to reflect and gather myself, invest in growing my relationships, and not wanting to be and editing myself to appear perfect for someone else to see. I'm working on me as God created me to be which is hard, but easier knowing He loves me as I am. I'm not writing off for good... simply refreshing my purpose and intentions in sharing.

Daffodils help raise money for American Cancer Society
Goal to raise $1,300
The first day of spring is the start of many things, including the first day of the American Cancer Society Daffodil Days program.
Volunteers at St. Mary's Regional Medical Center in Lewiston set up a table on Wednesday morning to sell the daffodils to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
Click here for pictures from Daffodil Days.
The bright yellow flowers are sold in a variety of ways: a single daffodil for $1, a bunch of 10 for $10, and a Boyd's Bear in a Bunch, which includes a bunch of daffodils and the bear for $25, or a potted daffodil plant for $15. People can also make donations to the American Cancer Society.
As one of the first flowers of spring, organizers said the daffodil is a symbol of hope and represents the hope everyone shares for a cancer-free future.
Lee Myles, president and CEO of St. Mary's, made a contribution to the fundraising efforts by purchasing four potted plants for members of his staff.
Daffodil Days at St. Mary's Regional Medical Center run through Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. and Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Volunteers say this year's goal is to raise $1,300.

Here's something you don't see every day. There's a 1971 Audi Super 90 up for auction on Ebay. This is a little known car developed in a time when Audi was struggling to get back on the map, under Mercedes-Benz control and about to be sold to Volkswagen. The shape is classic - a two-door precursor to the C1 Audi
A wise man once told me to "Buy it Built". You'll earn a hell of a lot of respect and pride when you build your car from the ground up but you'll save a hell of a lot of cash if you buy it built. Often built cars are a total bargain, though we're sure whether this Bonkers B5 RS 4 build qualifies will be hotly debated. What we're pretty sure
Yes the R8 GRAND-AM is now testing in the USA and if, like us, you're insanely jealous of Ian Baas and the boys at APR who'll be able to race the thing this summer then perhaps you should turn your attention to Team Phoenix. Turns out the German team is selling off two of their R8s from the 2011 racing season (chassis
For those who may have missed it, Audi of America hosted the American launch of the A7 at the IAC building in lower Manhattan last spring during New York Auto Show week. Of course the A7 wasn't the only star of the event, a scale paper crafted A7 was also there in addition to this particular red 100 Coupe S.
Of course the Bertone-designed
Were we to build a modded ur quattro, we likely wouldn't vary much from what you see here... and we doubt we're alone. Yes, you might prefer a different color, wheel combo, euro bumpers or the like... but in the end, this is an Ur quattro with RS 2 engine swap in America and under $20K. Works for us.
Check it out after the jump.
Original Listing
As the iconic Ur quattro becomes more and more rare... at least the nicely preserved ones... the prices seem to be moving healthily northward. Take for example this 107,000 mile Titan Red example we've located in Everett Washington. At a listed price of $25,888, this is one of the more expensive specimens we've seen, but it's not in the stratosphere and if it is well-preserved then the number is certainly fair. From photos,
Only really sold in any number (and small numbers at that) for two model years in the USA, the Ur quattro isn't exactly what you'd call common. Finding any example, much less a clean one has become increasingly hard for American fans of Audi's rallying icon. And when it comes to modified ones, ideas of proper upgrades can certainly vary. All that being said, we think we've stumbled across a modified example that most will agree qualifies
If you're a regular reader then you know those of us in the Fourtitude offices have a soft spot for the older "small" bumper 4000S quattro. Built just one year in the USA with quattro and the original Giugiaro design still intact (i.e. pre-facelift), the 4000 quattro is an oddity that flies under the radar while the iconic ur-quattro gets all the notoriety.
Back in its day, the '84 4000S quattro was
Vintage racecars with four-ring heritage aren't terribly common. Look back prior to the modern quattro era and it gets even harder to pick up something with any sort of racing pedigree. In as much, we were surprised to find a DKW-powered formula car on Ebay and hailing from a Philadelphia suburb no less.
Granted, this car is $33,500, which will weed out tire kickers.
Here's a rundown on the
A little-known fact in the Audi Lexicon may be the association of the Italdesign Aztec and Audi. It's more widely known today that Italdesign as a firm has been purchased by Audi's parent the Volkswagen Group, but in 1988 when it put this otherworldly roadster into production as part of its 20th anniversary celebration, Italdesign was entirely independent. Still, the Aztec and its 1988

Greek heroin dependent users to get free condoms amid HIV spike
Greece will issue free condoms and syringes to heroin dependent users to halt an alarming rise in new HIV cases, the health ministry said on Tuesday.
"There is an imperative need for immediate action to limit the spread of infection," deputy health minister Michalis Timosidis said in a parliamentary document.
The state organisation against drugs (Okana) and volunteer groups will distribute 30,000 condoms and 10,000 syringes as part of the initiative to be initially launched in Athens.
Greece's top health watchdog in November warned that new HIV-positive cases had increased by 52.7 percent from 2010, a rise blamed on prostitution -- which increasingly draws on undocumented migrants -- and intravenous drug use.
The centre for disease control and prevention (Keelpno) said over 800 new cases had been recorded until October 2011, over a third among homosexual men.
Among heroin users, the increase was 1,250 percent in a year, Keelpno said.
Greece has been forced to make sweeping cuts to social spending in the past two years under a drastic economic overhaul to eliminate state deficits in return for EU-IMF loans.
The budget cuts have been accompanied by staff dismissals and hospital mergers which doctors warn will diminish the effectiveness of Greece's health system.

I have had the most outstanding service from Tailored flooring on a number of occasions and have recommended them to countless friends and other contacts who have told me they were absolutely delighted.
This company has been around for a long time, and are experts in the area of flooring of all types . They always go the extra mile to provide the best service in my experience.
Michelle W, Domestic Client

We used Tailored Flooring to replace the ugly, broken slate tiles in both our kitchen / diner and family bathroom. It was something we had been putting off for some time as we thought it would be quite an upheaval. In actual fact, it was one of the smoothest jobs we have had done on the house, thanks to Darren and his team. The knowledge and efficient service from the whole team was second to none and they were polite, punctual and a pleasure to have around whilst the work was completed. The result is two truly beautiful new floors which make us feel as if we have two brand new rooms. We are absolutely thrilled and would use Tailored Flooring again and again – we've already given a business card to a friend.
Scott & Lindsay Randall, Domestic Client

I've just got home from work and I can't tell you how delighted I am with the floor – it looks absolutely amazing. Many, many thanks.
Janet Hopkins, Domestic Client

I am very pleased with the final carpet. Thank you very much for getting it sorted. I wanted to thank you and the rest of your team for an excellent service. We are very happy with the end result.
Naomi Cook, Domestic Client
Happy Customers
Thank you very much for doing a lovely job it is much appreciated. Your team worked really efficiently together – we were impressed
Jo Pye, Domestic Client
Happy Customers
Your chaps did such a sensationally good job I thought I must send you these photos of them hard at work. A visitor here recently who seemed knowledgable on carpet laying said he had never seen better. He was particularly impressed with how you managed so professionally to replace the worn through stair and bathroom carpets with the relatively unworn parts of the main assignment. All, I probably told you almost 50 years old.
Constance Wade, Domestic Client
Happy Customers
The carpet looks lovely, thank you. The boys you sent were an extremely efficient and pleasant team. A joy to have in the house.
Deborah Threw, Domestic Client
Happy Customers
We have used Darren from Tailored flooring on a number of jobs, and without exception have found the service to be exceptional. Attention to detail is a matter of course. Sound advice is always offered… corners never cut. A competitive service that we will continue to use.

Darren and his team carried out the fitting of both carpet and vinyl flooring most efficiently, working around our difficult schedule with good grace in a most professional manner.
Lindsay Jacobs, Lindsay Jacobs Interiors
Happy Customers
Tom and his colleagues have done a great job of the fitting, and were extremely friendly and helpful. I thanked them but do please tell them that we've reported that back to you too.
Caroline Williams, Residential Client

Great job in the studio and Grant is an asset to your business.
Mike Hall, Domestic Client

I used Tailored flooring to fit new flooring in my kitchen (Karndean), and carpet throughout the rest of the house. It's a project that took me just over a year, doing each room separately. Darren and team were so accommodating, great value for money and generally really nice guys. They allowed me to buy the carpet in one go,and store it with them until we were ready to have it fitted. They have their own team of fitters and were so flexible in arranging fitting, I'm not sure you'd get that with a national company. They were really good value for money, as I'd done my research and also got other quotes. All in all I'm really pleased, the carpet looks fabulous and I'd definitely use Tailored flooring again.
Anna Caswell, Residential Client
Happy Customers
From start to finish this was a first class service. Have used Phil's services before also and very professional every time. Carpet and tile fitters on time and job done to the highest standard. Will always go back to Tailored flooring.
Frank McKenna, Residential Client
Happy Customers
Tailored Flooring saved our bacon and did a better job than I could have imagined possible with our kitchen and bathroom flooring. We were due to have kitchen flooring fitted, so the kitchen was emptied, all appliances disconnected and completely unusable, and the fitter we had booked let us down the morning they were due to fit. I was in a complete panic as I had property valuations booked for the end of the week before which the kitchen and bathroom flooring had to be completed.
Within an hour of leaving a message with Tailored Flooring, Darren had called me back and said he would be with me within the hour to see what he could do. Exactly as promised, he attended, measured and talked me through what he could do for us. It turned out we'd selected completely inappropriate flooring (soft vinyl in a huge, heavily used kitchen), and Darren guided us through better options available to us. To cut a long story short, he went out of his way to jiggle us into the schedule, order materials and the next day his fitter, Grant, was working on our flooring.
The fitter, Grant, is a master. He was very tidy and careful (given the rest of our home is cream carpets), he worked quietly and very quickly. Each evening he tidied everything away. When it came to fitting the Karndean tiles, he talked me through the different options of laying them (brick style etc.) and also made his own recommendations from his experience. He measured the placement of the tiles to ensure there weren't any odd shaped tiles and when the job was complete it exceeded all our expectations.
We managed to get everything straightened out at home in readiness for the property valuations, and two estate agents who had previously valued our home commented on the positive updates to the flooring.
Also, they have recently moved to a beautiful show room on Alma Road which I walked past before they opened and had admired through the windows. If you want some inspiration, then definitely pop in for some very good quality, well merchandised and easy to browse carpets and flooring.
I am really looking forward to using Tailored Flooring again for our next home.

Dan Bylsma has a general idea of what's going to happen in Game 7 on Tuesday night.
But the details? That's another matter.
"It's going to come down to one play tonight, it's going to come down to one picture, and the problem is I can't tell you which play that is going to be right now," the Pittsburgh Penguins coach said after his team's morning skate at the Consol Energy Center.
"There could be 2,000 plays in this game and every player is going to have it on their stick tonight, every player is going to be in that position to make that play. That's what you have to be ready for. We need and we want to be at our best, and that's everybody."
The New York Rangers have rallied in the Eastern Conference semifinal, forcing the deciding game with back-to-back wins after the Penguins reeled off three consecutive victories to take a 3-1 lead.
New York will try to make team history, as it never has eliminated the Penguins in a series (going 0-4) and never has come all the way back from a 3-1 deficit in a best-of-seven to win.
Recent history sides with the Rangers. They have won seven of their past eight Game 7s going back to 1992, and goalie Henrik Lundqvist will try to become the first goalie in NHL history to win five Game 7s in a row. As it stands, he is tied with Ed Belfour, Patrick Roy and Cam Ward at four.
Rangers forward Dominic Moore will try to win a Game 7 in Pittsburgh for a third time. He did it in 2010 with the Montreal Canadiens and then a year later with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Since winning the Stanley Cup in 2009, the Penguins are 2-2 in Game 7s. Overall, the Penguins are 7-6 in the seventh game, but just 2-6 at home. The Rangers are 7-5.
Penguins captain Sidney Crosby wasn't going to spend the afternoon preparing a pre-game speech to inspire his teammates.
"We all know what's at stake," Crosby said. "I don't think anybody has to explain that or make it clear. The biggest thing is we all trust one another and I don't think it takes me standing there and saying that to do that. It's something we have built all year."
The playoffs have been a struggle for Crosby points-wise, as he has nine in 12 games and just one goal. On the Rangers' side, Rick Nash has five assists in 13 games.
The Rangers didn't hold a morning skate, but it's expected they will have no lineup changes.
On Monday, Rangers defenceman Marc Staal spoke to the importance of staying on an even-keel.
"Both teams have to try to be smart," Staal said. "In a Game 7, one penalty here or a mistake there can turn a game. You have to be disciplined, be doing the right things and capitalize when the opportunity is there."
The speculation is that the losing team on Tuesday will have some changes in store. Bylsma could be out of a job if the Penguins fall, while the Rangers could buy out Brad Richards or Nash once their season is done.

- Gap is just way too twee for me lately. I know there was a time that I shopped there for everything, yet now I can't find anything that works.
- Sephora still rocks my world; I can't believe that we have one. Hope my friend loves the $50 gift card that comes in a compact and envelope.
- Everyone was walking around looking like they just walked off the beach. It was raining. Does no one dress anymore?
- Old Navy's Neon Lights collection must have bombed, since they were practically giving the stuff away in the clearance section. Sequins in summer? Not so much.
- I find it delightful that Macy's has a huge iPod vending machine.
- Why does everyone stand in line at the center court Starbucks when they can walk a bit and go to the one inside Barnes & Noble with no line? Is it a "see and be seen" thing?
- I am still madly in love with Nine West. When did I become such a huge fan?
- Victoria's Secret Pink line just creeps me out. But if you can get past all that nastiness at the front, there is actually some gorgeous stuff towards the back of the store.
Thoughts From a Mall

A few weeks ago, I was having lunch with my friend Kate from Make-A-Wish Arizona. Kate's job at the Arizona chapter is to help implement national campaigns and create relationships with local companies that can support our mission.
Whether local or national, we've both seen how connecting sponsors with wishes can make all the difference in securing the resources we need.
Once someone has experienced the joy of a wish kid playing in donated luggage or seen wish kids light up when their name is featured on a marquee at their favorite store, they feel the impact of the Make-A-Wish mission in a way that simply can't be described.
And that's when they get hooked.
Following our lunch that day, I went back to my cube and posted a sign on the wall that says "Find That Moment."
I believe in the impact of a wish because I've seen it first-hand. And I know that when others get excited about supporting a wish, the outcome becomes so much greater than the sum of the parts. And that the kindness of strangers is what truly sets a wish apart from any other experience.
It's an impact that our sponsors and wish families feel long after a wish has taken place.
Last month, GameStop hosted its first-ever register donation campaign to benefit Make-A-Wish. GameStop is one of those retailers that consistently goes to incredible lengths to take care of wish kids – from finding out-of-stock gaming systems to providing VIP service.
In fact, 4-5 wishes every week involve shopping at a GameStop store, and it was awesome to see that organic wish connection lead to an in-store customer donation campaign. But nothing could prepare me for the email I received last week, and some of the additional community connections that would surface.
A GameStop store manager wrote in with the story of one of his regular customers who comes in to trade out games when he needs help paying a bill. When he saw the Make-A-Wish signs, he shared that 22 years ago – when he was 8 years old – he had a shopping spree wish.
The entire trade came to $60, and before the GameStop employee could ask him if he wanted to donate he said, "I only need $50 for my bill, so give me $50 and put the rest on Make-A-Wish because they helped me when I was a kid."
This example of generosity speaks to the lasting impact of a wish, and the profound power that a single moment in time can have. And if Make-A-Wish is going to achieve our vision of granting every eligible child's wish, we need more moments like these.
Find that moment.
Wish Nation gives you a behind-the-scenes look at Make-A-Wish®. See how wishes come together and how they change lives forever. Hear directly from those who work or volunteer here, or those who have been transformed by a wish. And learn why we are so committed to someday granting the wish of every eligible child, every year.We want to hear from you.We moderate our communities by only one rule: Be nice. We welcome different views - just keep it courteous and considerate. Thanks for connecting.
