Explore Fairbanks Alaska Announces Aurora and Midnight Sun Tracker
Explore Fairbanks unveils the Aurora and Midnight Sun Tracker, a new addition to the Explore Fairbanks website.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska (PRWEB) January 23, 2018
On January 24, 2018 at 2 p.m. during the Fairbanks Interior Tourism Conference, Explore Fairbanks will unveil the Aurora and Midnight Sun Tracker, an addition to the Explore Fairbanks website. The aurora borealis and the midnight sun are two natural phenomena that are integral to Fairbanks and draw visitors from around the world. The Aurora Tracker will give real-time and three-day forecasts of northern lights data correlated to six different locations. The Midnight Sun Tracker will calculate the number of daylight hours any time of year for three different locations.
Explore Fairbanks President and CEO Deb Hickok said, “This mechanism is a one-of-a-kind digital invention especially created for aurora chasers in the Fairbanks region.” She continued “this real-time calculator helps to correlate the big three factors - location, weather conditions and aurora forecast - in northern lights viewing.” The midnight sun feature allows guests to anticipate how many hours of daylight to expect when planning their visit.
The Aurora Tracker combines the following data streams to give people the capability to chase the northern lights in six different locations in real time as well as plan where to go for up to three days in advance:· Aurora: real-time and forecast data from the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (the leading aurora borealis research institute)
· Weather: real-time and forecast data from weather stations in each specific aurora viewing location
· Amount of daylight hours
The Aurora Tracker utilizes these data streams in order to predict aurora viewing opportunities. Users can toggle between viewing locations, to see viewing change for different days and time of days. The six Aurora Tracker locations include Fairbanks, North Pole, Cleary Summit, Murphy Dome, Chena State Recreation Area as well as Coldfoot, 270 miles or 435 kilometers north of Fairbanks up the Dalton Highway. Chasers are encouraged to check back often as this data changes frequently.
Fairbanks is a premier northern lights viewing location worldwide because of its rare position under the “Auroral Oval,” a band over the North and South Poles where aurora activity is concentrated. During Aurora Season, August 21st through April 21st, if visitors to the Fairbanks area spend three nights actively searching the night sky for the aurora they have a 90% chance of seeing this extraordinary natural phenomenon.
The Midnight Sun Tracker calculates the number of daylight hours, also known as civil twilight, which people can experience in the Far North areas of Fairbanks, Coldfoot and Utqiaġvik (formerly named Barrow) at different times of the year. Because Fairbanks is on the 65th parallel, the area experiences 70 straight days of sunlight from approximately May 17 through July 27, and conversely, during the Winter Season, there is a significant reduction in daylight hours. The Midnight Sun Tracker allows users to change the calendar and/or location and realize the radical shift in light for the three areas.
Visit explorefairbanks.com to access the Aurora and Midnight Sun Tracker, which is compatible with all devices including smartphones, tablets and desktops.

Colorado Community Colleges Propose Solution to Help Address State's Looming Shortage of Skilled Nursing Professionals
Denver, CO, Jan. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Colorado Community College System (CCCS) today issued an appeal to state law makers to support legislation that will address a serious, looming gap in Colorado’s workforce: an acute shortage of nursing professionals with four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degrees. To help address this crisis, the CCCS is proposing a new pathway to success for nursing students by allowing CCCS colleges to offer a four-year BSN degree.
House Bill 18-1086, “Community College Bachelor Science Degree Nursing,” introduced Friday in the House of Representatives by Representative Janet Buckner and Representative Paul Lundeen, allows institutions that are part of the state system of community and technical colleges to offer a BSN degree. Senator Tim Neville and Senator Irene Aguilar are sponsoring the bill in the Senate.
“This legislation will have a significant positive impact on health outcomes in Colorado,” said Representative Janet Buckner. “It will help ensure that communities across our state have the skilled nursing professionals they need. And the state itself will benefit economically from increased earnings generated by a more highly-trained workforce, not to mention the tuition dollars that we’ll keep in-state.”
Unless action is taken to increase the options for obtaining a BSN degree, the consequences for Colorado could be dire. Data from the U.S. Department of Labor indicate an annual shortage of 490 nurses with BSNs beginning in 2014, rising to a cumulative shortage of 4,500 BSNs by 2024, which could mean that one in thirteen positions requiring a BSN goes unfilled. Projections show that the shortages will be most acute in Grand Junction, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins.
“Many hospitals will only hire RNs if they sign a contract committing to complete a Bachelor’s degree within a certain timeframe – so getting a BSN isn’t a choice, it’s a requirement,” said Kelsie Guthrie, who is in her second semester of an Associate’s Degree in Nursing at Community College of Aurora. “With expenses in Colorado on the rise, getting an education at a lower cost is incredibly important. If I have an affordable option to complete my BSN in Colorado, I most definitely will.”
76 percent of two-year nursing program graduates in Colorado either do not transfer anywhere – exacerbating the shortage of BSNs – or transfer out of state to complete their BSN degree, taking their tuition dollars with them.
“Workforce development is at the core of Colorado community colleges’ mission, and we are ideally positioned to help mitigate this crisis,” said System President Dr. Nancy McCallin. “We work continually to identify future needs of Colorado’s workforce, and to adjust our offerings to students accordingly. We are the most accessible and affordable option for students in Colorado. Enabling us to offer BSN degrees is a smart, practical solution to this looming BSN nursing shortage, and it’s the right thing to do for Colorado’s students and Colorado’s economy.”
“Spending less money to become more qualified seems like a no-brainer – taking on a financial burden isn’t something I want to think about when I’m going to school to learn to care for others, explained Josh Mickelson, also in his second semester of an Associate’s Degree in Nursing at Community College of Aurora. “And the pass rates on nursing board exams (NCLEX) for community college grads are amazing!”

Gates of the Arctic National Park: Twelve Years of Wilderness Exploration Highlights Alaska's Hidden Gem
Joe Wilkins shares his experiences in the rustic and pristine arctic wilderness of Alaska in his stunning photography journal
Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) January 23, 2018
Releasing nationwide today, Gates of the Arctic National Park: Twelve Years of Wilderness Exploration (Brown Books Publishing Group) by Joe Wilkins, takes readers on an incredibly exciting and intimate journey through the northernmost and second largest national park in America. Located in the heart of the Brooks Range and far north of the Arctic Circle and indisputably the “toughest of the tough,” this park is often referred to as the “Blackbelt National Park.” This is an area of magnificent natural beauty; however, it also contains substantial dangers inherent in its rugged mountains, white-water rivers, wild animals, and challenging weather conditions. Drawing on the experience he accumulated during multiple decades of exploration in the Brooks Range, Wilkins’ informative book about this remote arctic mountainous wilderness is filled with stirring narrative descriptions punctuated with spectacular photography.
After retiring from his teaching career as a professor at The University of Illinois, Wilkins focused his energy on hiking, climbing, and backpacking inside some of the most remote portions of arctic Alaska’s Brooks Range. In addition to using canoes and packrafts, he solo-backpacked throughout the region. He also served as a Volunteer Backcountry Patroller for the National Park Service.
“Spending time alone in the vastness of the arctic makes the senses tingle,” says Wilkins. “Each day is new and exciting. Opportunities for personal achievement in these places are intermingled with the hard realization of human fragility. A single misstep during any one of the tens of thousands of steps I take each time I visit the wilderness could have life-changing or life-ending consequences.”
Displaying a comprehensive understanding of the harsh realities of the landscape, this book has captured the essence of one of the most beautiful and untouched regions of North America. Readers will be mesmerized by his descriptions of the Aurora Borealis flickering across the nighttime Alaskan skies as well as by Wilkins’ portrayal of the flight of a boreal owl. They will be able to almost smell the fragrant aromas of springtime’s arrival on the tundra, savor the fresh water of mountain lakes, and taste the rich sweetness of the region’s numerous wild berries.
Wilkins takes readers deep into a delicate, dangerous and yet quite vulnerable world containing diverse wildlife. He shares his exciting encounters with Dall sheep, rough legged hawks, fighting moose, musk oxen, arctic foxes, and a mother Grizzly bear nursing her cub. He presents his photographs of two charges by Grizzly bears and reports on a “nighttime conversation” he had with a pack of wolves deep in the boreal forest. He describes the geology, wildlife, and forests of the region. His depictions enable the reader to vicariously experience the intimidating weather, mountainous terrain, wild animals, deep-water lakes, and white-water rivers of this magnificent park.
Wilkins says, “My intent is to help readers better understand this ultimate wilderness of North America. I want them to become more aware of the extraordinary beauty that exists throughout the arctic wilderness and specifically in and around the Gates of the Arctic National Park. This is an important part of our national heritage and one of our most precious national treasures.”
Gates of the Arctic National Park: Twelve Years of Wilderness Exploration will inspire readers to travel or dream of traveling beyond their boundaries. Wilkins hopes to motivate readers to get out of their comfort zone and better understand and appreciate the natural landscapes of the American frontier – whether that frontier lies in northern Alaska or in the “wilderness next door.”

Follow the money in Aurora’s production of Shaw
“If you are going to get money with your wife, doesn’t it concern your family to know how that money was made?” So asks the perceptive Cokane (Michael Gene Sullivan) of young Trench (Dan Hoyle) in Aurora Theatre Company’s production of “Widowers’ Houses.” In George Bernard Shaw’s 1892 play — the writer’s first play, one of his so-called “Plays Unpleasant” — Trench thinks he’s just found the woman of his dreams in Blanche (Megan Trout) until he discovers the source of her father Sartorius’ (Warren David Keith) wealth. The inherent conflict between money and morality would go on to become a career-length concern for Britain’s second-greatest playwright.

Harbor Club on Lake Oconee Georgia Real Estate Sales Jump 47% in 2017
Real Estate Scorecard provides in-depth research and candid insight into the overall happiness and satisfaction of over 400 master planned communities in the Southeast.
ATLANTA (PRWEB) January 24, 2018
With the year-end numbers all tallied, Harbor Club Properties informed Real Estate Scorecard that they have experienced a 45% increase in real estate sales compared to 2016, data compiled by the Lake Country Board of Realtors. Harbor Club reported that $26.5 million in home, homesite, cottage and town home properties were sold last year compared to $18.3 million in 2016. Additionally, the lakefront community has 23 new homes currently under construction by existing property owners, and over 50 new home builds are planned for 2018.
“It has been extremely exciting to see so many new families move to Harbor Club this year,” says Kathy Phillips, director of real estate sales. ”It’s a testament to the long term commitment of the developer to expanding and enhancing its amenity base, and to providing a diverse collection of membership activities that nurtures a grounded sense of community and family here at the Lake Oconee.” Harbor Club continues to be the only major community on Lake Oconee to offer residents a social membership option. Additionally, they have a variety of non-resident and corporate membership programs.
Harbor Club on Lake Oconee enjoyed a milestone year in 2017 in other respects, including being handpicked as a Southern Living Inspired Community by the magazine’s editors, whose criteria for the recognition includes “neighborhoods marked by charm, taste and Southern spirit that embody a distinctive pride of place.”
The highlight of the inaugural-year partnership with Southern Living came in the fall when Harbor Club unveiled its Southern Living Inspired Home, a 3,380-square-foot, four-bedroom, four-bath plan called The Woodmere that blends a modern décor with southern farmhouse rustic character.
The past year also saw Harbor Club earning national accolades, including:
The “Best Lake Community of the Year - Bliss Award,” from Real Estate Scorecard.
The community’s popular new marina amenity, The Boathouse, was named “Best Recreational Facility” during the National Association of Homebuilders Aurora Awards.
Harbor Club’s engaging lakefront golf course continues to be regarded as the “#3 Golf Course You Can Play” in Georgia by the Golfweek Magazine golf raters panel.
And Harbor Club was chosen as a Course of Distinction in LINKS Magazine’s Premier Properties Guide.
In the year ahead Harbor Club will continue to expand the breadth of its home building products with a wide range of size and price points. Homes as small as 2,100 square feet to over 4,000 square feet will be priced from the 300’s to 800’s, providing new home options to a variety of consumer needs.
In addition, Harbor Club currently has three “designer ready” homes near completion to the point where home owners will have the opportunity to come in and make their own selections of cabinetry, lighting, tile, countertops, appliances and color palettes from its highly appointed Design Studio.
Residential sales at the community are driven by Harbor Club Properties, a partnership between Harbor Club and the Atlanta-based sales and marketing specialists, Ansley Atlanta.
