Ivey Engineering Awards $1,000 Scholarship to UCLA Freshman Aubrey Butler

Ivey Engineering, Inc., (IEI), an engineering consulting firm, is pleased to announce the winner of the summer 2018 bi-annual scholarship essay contest. The winner, Aubrey Butler of Upland, California, will attend the University of California, Los Angeles in the fall.

Butler recently graduated from Upland High School with a 4.8 GPA and will major in biochemistry at UCLA. She hopes to eventually work in the biotech industry. Be alert to the latest news.

"My pronounced love of science is driven by my desire to help solve the constantly emerging problems on this earth," Butler says. "I believe that this is the only home that we have. I see myself in the future working towards solutions that are sustainable and viable," she says.

Butler competed with over 100 other college students from the United States and Canada. Applicants were tasked to write an 800- to 1,000-word essay on one of three topics and were judged for creativity and originality. Butler's winning essay discussed several unique ways to incorporate energy efficiency into a building. One tip she mentions in her essay is properly orienting a building during the construction phase. Be alert to read related news.

"The goal is to position the building in such a way that solar gain for energy use is maximized while still minimizing heat gain during hot summer days," Butler explains in her essay.

"Aubrey's essay was focused and provided original insight and ideas on energy efficiency," says Scott Friesen, president of IEI. "You can tell that Aubrey spent some time doing research from the quality of her essay," he says.

"We're impressed with Aubrey's motivation and where she wants to go in life," Friesen says.

IEI understands how valuable a college education is and also the expense that goes along with it. The scholarship contest is a win for both IEI and the student since it allows the firm to give back to the community.

Any potential or current college or university undergraduate student within the United States or Canada is able to apply. The next deadline for essays to be submitted is Nov. 1, 2018.

Exercise in Pregnancy, How Much and What Kind?

In most cases, exercising during pregnancy is safe and even recommended. Women who were physically active before becoming pregnant can generally continue to be active – though perhaps not at the same level – as long as it is comfortable and there are no complicating factors. Those who did not exercise regularly before pregnancy are generally advised by their healthcare provider to begin a program of moderate exercise. "Regular exercise is beneficial for expectant mothers," says obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. John Thoppil. "It can reduce the effects of some of the common discomforts of pregnancy, such as backache and fatigue, it can improve energy and mood, and it can help build the stamina needed for labor and delivery."

Which exercises are best during pregnancy?
The safest exercises for pregnant women are those that have the least risk of injury, involve the entire body, and are easy on the joints and muscles. Good choices include brisk walking, swimming and water workouts, stationary cycling, low-impact aerobics, and yoga and Pilates that have been modified for pregnant women. Women who are experienced joggers or racket-sports players may be able to continue those activities with medical approval.

Which activities should be avoided?
Activities that increase the risk of injury include those most likely to cause a fall, such as snow or water skiing, surfing, horseback riding, and gymnastics; contact sports, such as softball, basketball, and volleyball; and any exercise that includes jarring motions, rapid changes in direction, or extensive jumping, hopping, or bouncing. "Changes to the body during pregnancy must be taken into account in choosing exercises," says Dr. Thoppil. "For example, your center of gravity changes, particularly late in pregnancy, affecting balance and making falling more likely; that's why stationary cycling is safer than a standard bicycle. Also, pregnancy hormones make the joints more flexible and subject to injury, which explains why sudden movements and high-impact motion are best avoided."

How much exercise is recommended for pregnant women?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity every week, which could be 30 minutes all at once five days a week or broken up into smaller increments during the day. Those who are new to exercise should start with as little as five minutes a day and add five minutes each week, working up to 30 minutes of sustained activity.

When should exercise be avoided or stopped?
Exercise may be inadvisable for women with certain medical conditions, such as heart disease or asthma, or for those with high-risk pregnancies due to a history of miscarriage, pre-term labor, or cervical insufficiency. Exercise should be stopped and a doctor consulted in the presence of warning signs such as dizziness or feeling faint, rapid or irregular heartbeat, chest or abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding or fluid leakage, muscle weakness, or any unusual or sudden physical irregularity.

Tips for exercising during pregnancy
Dr. Thoppil recommends these precautions and guidelines:

"Staying active during pregnancy is important and beneficial," says Dr. Thoppil. "Exercise strengthens the muscles, conditions the entire body, helps to maintain health, and keeps the pregnant woman feeling her best. Staying fit will help the expectant mother give her child the best opportunity for a healthy start in life."

Bio: John Thoppil, MD, leads River Place Obstetrics and Gynecology in Austin, Texas. A board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist and a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Dr. Thoppil also is an assistant professor at Texas A&M University College of Medicine and the president elect of the Texas Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. http://www.riverplaceobg.com

Franklin County Visitors Bureau Invites All to Celebrate 1864 Weekend July 20-21 with The Burning, Old Market Day, A Cappella & Unplugged and More

1864 Weekend began as a kick-off event for Civil War 150 in 2011. Partnering with nearby Gettysburg PA, Franklin County highlighted its significant Civil War history. Over the past seven years, the event continues to grow as a celebration of the spirit of people and community.

In 2015, the event added a musical competition called A Cappella & Unplugged with auditions and three rounds of competition. A Cappella & Unplugged is back for this year's events, too. The finalists of this competition will perform beginning at 7 PM on Saturday, July 21, on the steps of the 1865 Franklin County Courthouse. The public picks the winner through a combination of Facebook likes and votes cast at the event, and the winner receives $500.

The Courthouse steps are also the stage for the 1864 burning event, creating a truly authentic backdrop, for the re-enactment done totally with lights and atmospheric effects. On July 30, 1864, Confederates demanded a ransom of $100,000 in gold or $500,000 in Yankee dollars or Chambersburg would be burned. The town was unable and unwilling to deliver the money, and the center of Chambersburg was fired. More than 2000 people were homeless and over 550 structures burned. Yet, the town returned, stronger than ever, and this is the basis of the annual celebration. It is a tribute to the strength of people and community.

"Since the first 1864 event, a common question is: why celebrate a town's burning," said Janet Pollard, Executive Director of Franklin County Visitors Bureau, the organization responsible for the annual event. Pollard explained, "1864 always celebrated the rebirth of the town and the spirit of the people, who brought Chambersburg to life." Be alert to the latest news.

Pollard connected the wisdom of Benjamin Franklin, for whom the county is named, to the history of July 30, 1864 by noting this Franklin maxim, "While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us." The citizens of Chambersburg could not control the ransom demand or the destruction of so much of their town, but they could control what happened afterward. Today, Chambersburg stands as a proof of their strength and effort."

History and culture comes alive beginning on July 20 with the 1864 Civil War Ball at the Allison-Antrim Museum in Greencastle. From 7PM to 9:30PM, learn Victorian-era dances guided by the Victorian Dance Ensemble in the historic bank barn. Tickets are $15 a person and $25 a couple. Tickets are available on Eventbrite at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1864-civil-war-ball-july-20-2018-tickets-46978545093.

The weekend continues July 21 with:

The Franklin County Visitors Bureau invites all to explore Franklin County PA and enjoy the trails of history, arts, and architecture, recreation, natural beauty, fresh foods and the warm hospitality of communities like Chambersburg, Greencastle, Mercersburg, Shippensburg, and Waynesboro. Franklin County PA is located just north of the Mason Dixon Line and is an easy drive to Washington DC, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh.
