New Light is deeply regretful to announce the recent death of valued friend and employee Brent Darren Foster, of New Light's New York Branch. 

Brent Foster 1989 - 2014

Our company founder Bethany Kingsler has made the following statement:

"There is nothing more heart-wrenching or disturbing to one’s world than the loss of someone dear. Our hearts go out to Brent’s family and they must rest assured we will do everything we can to help them at this difficult time.

Here at New Light every employee is valued not just for their contributions to our cause, but for their individual talents. There were few people employed in our business as talented as Brent. Let it be known that he was a fun, thoughtful and independent individual whose eccentricity and enthusiasm for his work will be missed."

A one minute silence will be held in all New Light employee buildings at 4:00 pm, Saturday the 26^th of April.

All employees who are in need of counselling are encouraged to visit our Counselling and Assistance Department on Floor 5. 

Alright, guys, let’s get serious. Who out there has tried to grow vegetables? Tricky, huh? Well, imagine the difficulty in doing it on a massive scale, for the food stocks that supply thousands of people. Imagine what one bad drought, one intense flood, can do to months of work. Imagine your livelihood, your family, maybe even you survival, being dependent on the whims of the weather. This is the conflict faced by farmers worldwide every day. That’s the reason behind, and the origin of, Smart Soil^TM

It’s rather tricky one to describe what this one does without the usual science talk that goes into the reports given to me. But to put it in layman’s terms: this new product is a chemically and environmentally balanced potting Soil created by our Think Tank scientists. A soil which regulates its own temperature.

This is Bob, from our research and testing team. Hi, Bob!

What does this mean, exactly? Well, let’s say we put a pot of this soil out in the Gobi, under the most extreme heat conditions, and poured water on it. Normally, this would result in evaporation, but not with Smart Soil^TM!  Smart Soil can retain and regulate its water content. In other words heat or cold doesn’t matter with this new little invention of ours.

 As for how it works… well it’s a lot of science sounding mumbo jumbo to me, but from what I gather there's an adaptive substance within the soil that helps it regulate the temperature. It in no way affects the food itself, and currently works best for growing root crops, such as potatoes and carrots, as their growth mostly takes place below ground. Of course it’s not yet quite as possible to protect anything growing out of said soil without having to modify it in some way, something that we here at New Light try to avoid in order to bring you the most natural products possible. Still, we believe that once we’ve completed the testing stages we will be able to develop enough of this soil to provide it to those places that suffer both harsh heat and cold.

Sample fields in the North of America.

You might be saying, “Well that’s great, Becky, but if they don’t have any water in the first place, they’ll still be out of luck, right?” Well normally you would be correct, but as a special promotion all product recipients in need of this little invention to help supplement a food supply will be provided with enough water to last an entire crop cycle. And since the soil can retain water and the contained substance can regulate the amount of water within the soil, they’ll need never to water it more than once a cycle. This little invention will revolutionize farming forever. Just another work of genius brought to you by us here at New Light Incorporated. Call us sappy, if you like!

And that’s all I have to tell you, today. Remember we care about you. Here’s to a better tomorrow for everyone.

New Logo Contest Over

So we've been thinking, down here at the offices... Let's open up our shiny new website, with a shiny new logo! But of course, we don't do things by halves here at New Light.

Following an intense competition a final New Light Logo design has been chosen by our founder and creative genius, Bethany! We opened our contest up primarily to students and young professionals and it was a touch race to the finish!

Congratulations to Mr. E. Shields of Philadelphia on your selection. Prepare to see your design on all of our billboards, advertisements, legal records and our inter-office (ecologically and environmentally sound, of course) stationary! (PS: I'm getting it on a T-shirt too! Yay for Blog-Management Assistant Perks!) We hope your prize money helps you through your final years at University.

Eric's winning design.
