This is it! My first time riding in a truck outside of a small test track on the west side of Columbus, Indiana. After standing for eight hours in 90-degree, 90% humidity heat, riding in a truck with air conditioning for eight hours seemed like a vacation.

Boom! You immediately sit upright in bed. It’s 3:23 a.m. and it’s happening again. The wind is howling against your window and there’s an unsettling roar in the air.

Back home in California, your friends would have th
Alberta Children’s hospital in Calgary, Alberta, Canada doesn’t look like any ordinary hospital. It looks fun, even playful. The exterior of the building is covered with energetic colored blocks and the sign at the main entryway looks as if it was written by a child.

An Engineer’s Blueprint of Hope Six years ago, Kwasi Twumasi, an electrical engineer at Cummins Power Generation, started an orphanage in his hometown in Ghana.
