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.

"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.

"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.

New Force Field™ Cloak Defeats Children’ Fear of The Dark

The Glow Company has a revolutionary product that turns Fear of The Dark into Fun in The Dark. It has parents saying, "I wish they had these when I was a kid" and kids saying, "WOW, how cool is this."

Terry Sachetti, the inventor, explains it like this. "Remember when we were kids and afraid of the dark unable to fall asleep for fear of monsters under the bed or in the closet? We would hide under our blankets because we believed they had the power to protect us, right? Millions of children, every night, experience fear of the dark, and parents, like me, struggled to find a solution. The Force Field™ Cloak visually reinforces that protective power children believe in already, and they know what a Force Field is. Now with a bright glow in the dark high-tech energized protective shield, they feel even more safe."

Sachetti also stated, "We are not encouraging kids to believe in Monsters or what ever fears they may have. With all that is going on in the world today, what kids are seeing, and hearing, it does cause anxiety in many forms. This is just something to help them through some tough times. Most kids go through this period and some never grow out of it. Over 24% of adults are still afraid of the dark. I bet you know one."

Finally, something that works, the way kids think. Not only is the Force Field Cloak great for kids who are afraid of the dark but it is awesome to play with. Kids can make their shadows on it or shadows of their toys. They can make glow in the dark forts, make designs on it with a flashlight. How cool is that?

You need to see the video, very impressive. Here is the video link ForceFieldCloak.com Read latest news here.

They come in five different fabric colors with five glow-in-the-dark designs and glow colors." The Force Field™ Cloak uses a high grade, proprietary formulated glow-in-the-dark ink that is organic and nontoxic and is 100% child safe. It will glow for over 8 hours and it only takes about 20 minutes to charge up under a 100-watt bright light. Within one minute, you can supercharge the Force Field™ by simply using sunlight or a black light. The longer you charge it, the brighter it glows. Cold water wash, air tumble dry, no iron, no bleach. It is made from quality cotton-polyester blend material with fleece on the backside for that cozy feel. It is 40" wide and 54" long.

Terry Sachetti said, "It makes bedtime less fearful and more fun. It turns Fear of the Dark into Fun in The Dark. I also created multiple Force Field products and written a story with characters to help kids deal with their fears. There are Ebes, tiny creatures that are the weavers of the force fields, that have come from another Galaxy to Earth to help the Earth children battle the forces of fear and expose them for what they really are."
To learn about the characters and the story, visit ForceFieldFun.com.

This is the best invention since the nightlight! This product will surely sell out before the 2018 Christmas rush. It going to be just one of those kinds of products that resonates with kids, and parents easily relate to it as well. It would also be the largest glow in the dark thing kids will ever have the pleasure to play with.

They can be purchased at ForceFieldCloak.com and the suggested retail is $39.99 but, we are told, there is an early bird sale on for a few more days. Force Field™ has a patent pending and is a registered Trademark. Read all the latest news.

RF Technologies (RFT) HELP ALERT Featured in News Coverage Highlighting City of Chicago Ordinance Requiring Chicago Hotels to Equip Workers with Mobile Panic Alarms

RF Technologies (RFT) HELP ALERT® Mobile Panic Alarm for Hospitality was featured this week in a news story (WTTW-TV, Chicago) highlighting the recently-enacted City of Chicago ordinance intended to protect hospitality workers from sexual assault and other forms of intimidation and violence in the workplace—and an upcoming July 1 deadline for industry compliance.

Originally sponsored by Alderman Michele Harris, 8th Ward, and backed by labor unions including Unite Here Local 1, the anti-harassment ordinance stipulates that employees working alone in Chicago hotels must be issued mobile panic alarms (such as RFT's HELP ALERT) that would enable them to immediately alert security if they encounter uncomfortable or potentially dangerous situations during the course of their work.

According to Jorge Ramirez of the Chicago Federation of Labor, initial implementation of the ordinance began in January 2018, with a requirement for workers to be equipped with personal panic alarms no later than July 1. Ramirez adds, "I'm very proud of our city for being the first to pass such an ordinance. We know this is an industry where workers are particularly susceptible to this kind of treatment."

Brian Kinne, vice president of RFT's PinPoint division (which heads up the company's HELP ALERT product line) says, "We recognize the needs of the many dedicated workers in the hospitality industry, and remain fully committed to providing the best tools possible to help mitigate potential threats. We know HELP ALERT notifications are effective… about that, there is no doubt." Kinne adds, "There's growing recognition in the industry that employees working in isolation are at particular risk for harassment and/or assault. If the individual has the ability to promptly and discreetly alert security to a situation while remaining calm, knowing that help is on the way, escalation can almost always be avoided." Read all the related news.

Hotel workers are already wearing such devices, including RFT's HELP ALERT, in cities including New York and Washington, D.C. In Seattle, similar protection is included as part of Initiative 124 (also referred to as I-124) under which hotels are required to provide hotel workers with panic buttons. Similar mandates and/or ordinances are in-process and are likely soon to be adopted in areas in California (Sacramento and Orange County), Nevada (Las Vegas), and elsewhere. Such protection is being requested with increased frequency by staff members and local unions representing hospitality workers.

RFT is pleased to be a part of such an important initiative focused on keeping hospitality workers safe. We are ready to put to work our 30+ years of experience keeping people safe in hospitals, senior living facilities, schools, higher education, and hotels, with our HELP ALERT Mobile Panic Alarm System.
