Aurora, Colo. (PRWEB) March 17, 2015
American Sentinel University, an accredited career-focused online university, today announced that nursing graduate Patrice Dillow, MSN, RN, APRN, WOCN has been honored with the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses by Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) at Midwestern Regional Medical Center (Midwestern) in recognition for her commitment and patient-centered approach to care.
The award is part of the DAISY Foundation's program and is given monthly to nurses who consistently demonstrate excellence through their clinical expertise and extraordinary compassionate care. It recognizes the super-human efforts nurses perform every day as outstanding role models in the nursing community.
Dillow, a 2012 graduate of American Sentinel’s Master of Science nursing program, joined CTCA at Midwestern in 1997. In her role as a CTCA nurse, she supports patients living with wound, ostomy and continence related conditions. At the same time, she makes exceptional efforts to help new nurses understand the many aspects of their roles by serving as a mentor and providing nurse education through in-services and shadowing.
“We are thrilled that Patrice has been honored with the DAISY Award for her compassionate care,” says Judy Burckhardt, Ph.D., MAEd, MSN, RN, dean and professor, nursing programs at American Sentinel University. “She exemplifies the focus of our graduate nursing programs – to prepare working, professional nurses like Patrice to serve as leaders who improve patient outcomes. Her level of extraordinary patient care embodies our core values at American Sentinel.”
Dillow’s employer, CTCA at Midwestern praises her leadership skills and commitment to compassionate care.
“Pat Dillow personifies the definition of nursing. She is true giver and cares for her patients at a level that supports their physical and emotional needs,” said Jacklynn Lesniak, MS, BSN, RN, senior vice president of patient care services and chief nursing officer at CTCA at Midwestern.
Dillow says she has a passion for nursing, and that is reflected in her extraordinary level of patient care.
“I entered nursing over 36 years ago to make a difference in people’s lives. Working at CTCA at Midwestern has given me the opportunity to be able to positively affect the lives of hundreds of patients in need of care,” says Dillow. “Working hand-in-hand with patients and my fellow nurses is what makes this profession so rewarding.”
The not-for-profit DAISY Foundation is based in Glen Ellen, Calif., and was established by family members in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Patrick died at the age of 33 in late 1999 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), a little known but not uncommon autoimmune disease. The care Barnes and his family received from nurses while he was ill helped inspired this unique means of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patient families.
“When Patrick was critically ill, our family experienced first-hand the remarkable skill and care nurses provide patients every day and night. These unsung heroes are seldom recognized for the super-human work they do. The kind of work the nurses at CTCA are called on to do every day epitomizes the purpose of The DAISY Award,” said Bonnie Barnes, president, and co-founder of The DAISY Foundation.
Each quarter, a nurse is selected to receive the DAISY Award by an awards committee, comprised of CTCA at Midwestern nursing leadership and peers. At a presentation given in front of the nurse’s colleagues, physicians, patients, and visitors, the honoree receives a certificate commending them for being an “Extraordinary Nurse.” The honoree receives a beautiful and meaningful sculpture called A Healer’s Touch, hand-carved by artists of the Shona Tribe in Africa.

AIR802 Introduces Innovative Universal Ceiling Antenna Mount
AIR802, a manufacturer of wired and wireless products introduces an innovative and patent pending universal ceiling antenna mount this week at IWCE 2015 in Las Vegas. The UCAM-004 provides an unique solution for mounting antennas in commercial drop or false ceiling tiles that provides great flexibility, simplicity and low cost creating an entire new option for wireless installations.
Aurora, Illinois (PRWEB) March 17, 2015
AIR802 in releasing the UCAM-004, an innovative and patent pending universal ceiling antenna mount provides a unique evolutionary concept for antenna placement in commercial or false drop ceilings. This simple and low cost method consists of two plastic plates, one on the top side, and the other on the bottom side of commercial ceiling tiles. From one to four antennas can be mounted by merely removing plastic knockouts and then installing extended length reverse polarity SMA (RP-SMA) type adapters which are sold separately.
Dipole or rubber duck antennas can be used on the bottom side while antenna cables are connected to the top side and then on to the radio device being used with the antennas. AIR802 offers several white color antennas that aesthetically match the white tiles in addition to thousands of varieties of antenna cables. Additional white antennas are in development.
Typical deployments today utilize everything from fixed frequency and gain ceiling type antennas to simple placement of a router or access point above the ceiling tile and poking the antennas down through the tile or entire placement of the router above the ceiling tile resulting in some signal loss.
The UCAM-004 provides great flexibility in deploying antennas in ceiling tiles. For example in one mount it could be an arrangement of 4 Wi-Fi antennas for an MIMO access point or it might be 2 Wi-Fi antenna + 1 cellular antenna and 1 RFID antenna. Or perhaps your Wi-Fi device utilizes 2 antennas then two additional can be added in the future should be new access point require 4 antennas. The cost of dipole or rubber duck type antennas has significantly less cost than traditional ceiling mount antennas.
The UCAM-004 is available for immediate purchase on the AIR802 website.
AIR802 is a global engineering and manufacturing company focused on high quality products, same day shipping, strong ethics and excellent customer service. Reported by PRWeb 16 hours ago.

Lab Accessories Market to Grow at a 7.5% CAGR to 2020 - North America Accounted For The Largest Share
RnRMarketResearch.com Adds “Lab Accessories Market by Type, End User, Competitive Landscape and Company Profiles – Global Forecast to 2020” New research reports to its store.
(PRWEB) March 17, 2015
The global laboratory accessories market is expected to reach $504.7 million by 2020 from $327 million in 2014, growing at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period.
The application of advanced technology in testing laboratories has gained importance as it ensures timely progress and efficiency with minimal errors. This has led to the adoption of lab automation in high-throughput screening, combinatorial chemistry, automated clinical and analytical testing, diagnostics, and large-scale bio repositories. However, high capital expenditure required for laboratory automation, higher level of maintenance required as compared to manually operated machines, and lower flexibility in terms of products as compared to that of manual systems are some of the restraining factors that may hinder the growth of this market. Complete report is available at http://www.rnrmarketresearch.com/lab-accessories-market-by-type-label-printer-pipette-tips-pumpsmicroplatereagent-reservoirvalvetubingwash-station-end-user-oembiotechnology-pharmaceutical-companieshospitalprivate-lab-market-report.html .
However, Asia is the fastest-growing region of the laboratory accessories market. This market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.8% during the forecast period. The growth of this market can be attributed to the governments of China, South Korea, and Singapore that significantly focus on the biotechnology industry. For instance, the government of China has provided a funding of an estimated $300 billion to its biotechnology sector as a part of its 12th five-year plan (2011–2015), and the government of South Korea invested ~$1.43 billion for its Bio-Vision 2016 program. These regions are considered to be the revenue pockets for the evolving laboratory accessories market.
Lab Accessories Market is dominated by a few major players and contains several players. Some of the key players are Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc, Analytik Jena AG, Biotix, Inc, Vistalab Technologies Inc, Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc, Brooks Automation Inc, Becton Dickinson and Company, Corning Incorporated, Greiner Bio-One International GMBH, Hamilton Company, KNF Group International, Parker Hannifin Corporation, Iwaki Co. Ltd, Ismatec, Watson-Marlow Pumps Group, Welco Co. Ltd, Heidolph Instruments GMBH & Co. KG, Masterflex, Sapphire Engineering, Gilson Inc, HNP Mikrosysteme GMBH, Schwarzer GMBH & Co. KG, Charles Austen Pumps Ltd, Verderflex, Vertex Group, Matrix Technologies Corporation, Pall Corporation, Qiagen N.V, Scinomix, Tecan Group Ltd, Innovative Labor Systeme GMBH, Tricontinent Scientific Inc, SGE Analytical Science, Norgren Kloehn and Distek Inc. Order a copy of this report at http://www.rnrmarketresearch.com/contacts/purchase?rname=310469 .
The wash stations products segment dominated the laboratory automation accessories market, and was valued at $91.6 million 2014. Geographically, the laboratory accessories market is dominated by North America, which accounted for the largest share 42% of the market. This segment is expected to reach $196.8 million by 2020 from $137.3 million in 2014, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2014 to 2020. The implementation of the Affordable Care Act in the U.S. is expected to have a positive impact on the laboratory accessories market in this region. Europe accounted for the second-largest share of the market. The new EU Framework “Horizon 2020” as a part of its EU budget proposal for 2014 to 2020 proposed by the European commission is considered to boost research and innovation in this region. A significant part (9.7%) of the proposed budget will be allocated to research in the fields of healthcare, demographic changes, and well-being of the population, which provides financial strength to testing laboratories and research centers for adopting laboratory automation.
The global laboratory accessories market is highly competitive with the presence of many big and small firms. These companies adopt various strategies (innovation, acquisitions, and geographic expansions) to increase their market shares and to establish a strong foothold in the global market.
The report will enrich both established firms as well as new entrants/smaller firms to gauge the pulse of the market, which in turn will help them to achieve a greater market share. Firms purchasing the report can use any one or a combination of the below-mentioned five strategies (market penetration, product development/innovation, market development, market diversification, and competitive assessment) for strengthening their market shares.

Rare 'severe' geomagnetic storm is hitting Earth right now
A rare G4, "severe" geomagnetic storm, is underway. It has the potential to disrupt radio transmission signals, cause problems with the electrical grid and have a range of other possibly costly impacts
The event, which is just one notch below the highest category of solar storm, began at about 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday, according to the NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. The geomagnetic storm is the result of a pair of coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, that left the Sun on March 15 and are now interacting with Earth's atmosphere and geomagnetic field

Graebel Releases 28-Page Report from the Ninth Annual Global Relocation Policy Summit
Cost saving tips, best practices and trends were gathered during sessions and summarized in this complimentary report
Aurora, COLO USA (PRWEB) March 17, 2015
Summary Report Available Upon Request
This week, Graebel published a 28-page summary that reports on the results and data from the ninth annual Global Relocation Policy Summit that was hosted by Graebel University, the educational arm of the international organization. Global mobility, talent management and human resource executives from the Global 100 and Fortune 500 attended the by-invitation event that was held at the Graebel Companies' world headquarters in Colorado two weeks ago. For three days, participants attended optional educational workshops and joined collaborative brain-storming sessions that focused on global mobility topics that were predetermined by the attendees. Cost saving tips, best practices and trends were gathered during sessions and summarized in this complimentary 28-page report available upon request from Graebel representatives in the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions.
Among the most prevalent topics from the Global Relocation Policy Summit were:· Immigration compliance to sponsoring foreign nationals
· Managing policy exceptions
· Shifts in employer’s home sale and temporary living programs
· Effective steps in localizing expatriates
· Extended Business Travelers
· Calculating ROI and predictive analytics
For example, 39-Percent of Summit attendees have a formal global Extended Business Traveler (EBT) program. Up 25-percent year-over-year, a list of best practices and alerts was shared among participants and findings are outlined in the report.
In another example, participants established that the majority of the group (79-Percent) offer a Buyer Value Option (BVO) program presently. However, executives at major corporations attending the Summit voiced plans to or have already made shifts in their home sale program(s) to attract and retain talent to be competitive in the marketplace. Twelve-months since the 2014 Policy Summit, a significant increase in the number of Fortune 500 companies has flipped and now offer a Guaranteed Buyout (GBO) (37-Percent increase from 2014). The 2015 summary reports why and how some of the leading companies have made these major policy changes including transformations to a Direct Reimbursement (DR) from the BVO benefit or vice versa.
Graebel earned the first-place EMMA award for Research and Thought Leadership in the Americas region for its 2014 Global Relocation Policy research report from the Forum For Expatriate Management (FEM). The document summarized industry, the company’s market intelligence research and the data collected from the 2014 relocation executive participants. This award-winning document and the 2015 Summit Report are complimentary and are made available upon request with a Graebel representative or marcom1(at)graebel(dot)com.

Severe solar storm may disrupt power, satellites
Miami (AFP) - A pair of solar eruptions over the weekend have unleashed a severe geomagnetic storm that could disrupt power and communications on Earth, US officials said Tuesday.The storm ranks as a G4 on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scale of one to five, with five being the worst.
"Today we are experiencing a severe geomagnetic storm," said Thomas Berger, director of the Space Weather Prediction Center.
Residents of Alaska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Washington, North and South Dakota have already reported seeing the Northern Lights, and Europe is expected to be able to witness aurora from the storm by nightfall, officials said.
The geomagnetic storm resulted from two significant eruptions of the sun's corona that early on Sunday, March 15.
"These two eruptions combined into one eruption, one sort of larger shockfront traveling and intersecting the Earth's orbit today," Berger said.
The force of the eruption delivered a glancing blow to Earth, and not a direct shot.
However, the storm grew stronger and moved faster than anticipated, said Bob Rutledge, forecast lead at the Space Weather Prediction Center.
"We did have kind of the G1, minor level geomagnetic storming predicted for tomorrow, or starting late today," said Rutledge.
"And we did see the arrival about 14 or 15 hours earlier than expected," he told reporters.
"We have seen intensity that is a great deal stronger than originally anticipated."
Usually, forecasters are accurate within a seven hour window, and plus or minus one severity level, he said.
G4 level storms are fairly common. The last G4 storm was recorded in late 2013. The higher severity G5 level is much more rare. It has been over a decade since experts detected a G5 storm, said Rutledge.
So far, officials have received no reports of power outages, and there is no indication of an accompanying radiation storm, Berger said.
"That is a little bit unusual," said Berger.
"We are currently below threshold levels for radiation in earth's orbit, therefore there is not threat to satellites and there is no threat to aviation."
The storm has posed no risk to astronauts aboard the International Space Station, said NASA spokesman Dan Huot.
"There is no impact to crew or operations at this time," Huot said in an email to AFP.
"The geomagnetic K-Index condition does not directly increase crew exposure to ionizing radiation but our Space Radiation Analysis Group continues to closely monitor such events."
According to NOAA, a G4 level storm can lead to "possible widespread voltage control problems and some protective systems may mistakenly trip out key assets from the power grid."
High frequency radio may be sporadic or blacked out for hours, and satellite navigation systems may be "degraded or inoperable for hours," the federal agency added.
While Earth is protected by its magnetic shield, satellites in low Earth orbit may experience increased drag "and tracking and orientation problems may occur."
The storm is expected to last for 24 to 36 hours.
