Can engineering simulations be fun? And blazing fast? We think so: take ASHES for a spin, and you'll be up to speed in < 5 min*. We love to hear your feedback. We are developing ASHES - AeroServoHydroElasticSimulation. ASHES is a design and analysis software for onshore and offshore wind turbines or aeroelastic analysis for short. We hold the following to be true: 1. User experience (UX) is as important as getting the numbers right. Even for engineers. 2. Cloud computing will make aeroelastic simulation 100X (or so) faster and cheaper at the same time. It also offers virtually unlimited flexibility as any engineer has thousands of machines at her disposal. We are interested in presenting and discussing our software with prospective industrial and academic partners. *Not included the time it takes to read the license agreement.

Aid in Action is a voluntary organization that was started in 2008 by the then 19 year old Anne Louise Dæhlin (then Hübert), after visiting a poor village in Kenya. After initially helping to meet a dire need for food, Aid in Action has focused on sustainable development for the local community. We use social entrepreneurship to help poor people and children in need. We are – and want to be – a small and efficient organization that works closely with local, resourceful people in Africa. Our projects are mainly in Kenya. We are working within the areas of education, agriculture, stimulating local industry, water supply, roads, and assistance to orphans. The money we receive from our donors always goes directly to the projects, and none of it is spent on administrative costs on European side. This also means we pay no salaries to those who work with us here. We keep our donors updated with frequent posts on our web page and Facebook. One of our latest projects is building and running the primary school Edustep Kyua Academy, close to Kitui, Kenya: http://bit.ly/1S59DKH
