"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.

Butler sees herself in the next 10 years pursuing a doctorate degree and doing research to develop compounds that will help alleviate chronic health problems.

"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. For contest requirements or for more information about the scholarship, visit IEI's scholarship web page.

EXENTA, Inc. (http://www.exentago.com), the innovator in next-generation information technology solutions for the apparel and other soft goods industries, is unveiling a groundbreaking new Shopfloor 3PM™ (Third-Party Manufacturing) cloud solution that enables retailers, brands, sourcing and production executives to achieve real-time visibility into order status, work-in-process (WIP), and other important manufacturing activities from anywhere in the world. Using a standard web browser, stakeholders can get up to the minute information on production orders, WIP levels, product quality, and more from third-party providers, contractors, or owned and operated factories.

According to Exenta President and CEO Roberto Mangual, "After transforming factories around the globe with real-time shop floor control solutions, we recognized the opportunity to provide the transparency and control needed by remote production package buyers, sourcing and supply chain managers, and others that rely on status updates and on-time deliveries from factories around the globe. We are already seeing strong interest from major retailers in this exciting solution."

Summary reports are also available through the system.

"Meeting customer demand in today's fast-paced business environment requires that both buyers and sellers keep on top of manufacturing to stay ahead of the game", explained Exenta Director of Real-time Analytics Justin Hershoran.

Pets persist in piling on pounds

Over 40 percent of cats and dogs are now said to be obese and as with their human owners, health problems from diabetes to heart disease can come along with it. Read here.

The latest software advances mean pets can be fitted with fitness trackers and the results monitored. In much the same way as careful drivers are rewarded with lower premiums, owners can be offered a discount for a healthy pet. Technology also allows pet, vet, insurer and owner to be linked digitally as never before. While this is being used to educate owners and improve pet health in general, it can also identify wayward owners too.

"We have been debating the pet obesity issue with our clients for some time and it is clear some pet parents are not getting the message," said Aquarium Software Director, Mark Colonnese. "Technology can help owners keep their schnauzer and siamese in shape, but it can be used to penalise those who will not listen with higher premiums or a refusal of cover, while offering discounts to those who care for their pets. Good diet is part of treating a pet with respect and that is a lesson many of us could probably apply to ourselves," Mark added.

"We have seen Fitbits for pets and other gadgets, and while these work, we need to see a change in owner attitudes," said Colonnese. "A rise in obesity related illness and injury is leading some insurers to ask if a pet is obese before they will consider insurance, due to the risk of a related claim. Cover can be refused for certain conditions, based on pet weight, so the advice would be to get that tabby on the treadmill, if need be," Mark concluded. Aquarium has the best technology platform on the market, to meet the specific demands of the niche general insurance sector. Its clients are rewarded with reduced technological cost base coupled with capabilities that set them apart from the competition.
