Chase Sapphire Preferred Travel Insurance Question

2024.05.15 00:36 Radiant-Bluejay-5651 Chase Sapphire Preferred Travel Insurance Question

I almost wish there was a subreddit for Sapphire Travel Insurance, but I have a question.
I recently downgraded my Sapphire Preferred so that I could take advantage of the New Sapphire offers. Well, as I was waiting a few days, to reapply, I had to purchase a plane ticket. I remember getting an email stating something about the card I downgraded still had some protections until a certain date. My dumb butt deleted that email. But anyways, I bought the flights on my now former Sapphire Card.
Fast forward to now, I had some major issues with the flight I booked. Long story short, got delayed 24 hours. Does anyone have an email similar to what I am describing in regards to some protections still being in effect until a certain date? I am just needing to know if it’s worth my time to put in a claim.

2024.05.15 00:35 SamuraiUX The Emperor's New Clothes in Modern Society

Psychoanalytic/psychodynamic psychotherapy may be one of the last bastions of honest inquiry left to us, and I worry that society will "social justice" us out of it.
There are so many physical and behavioral outcomes that a psychodynamic therapist might be curious about that we are no longer encouraged to examine. And let's be clear, before I elaborate, that I do not mean it is our job to JUDGE people and most certainly not to look down upon them! But the idea seems to be that many things a psychologist might be interested in the underpinnings or root causes of are things that are allowed no investigation whatsoever, else you’re labeled an -ist and a -phobic (racist, sexist, fatphobic, homophobic, transphobic, etc., etc.).
I went to a CE event last year about the BDSM community, and it was enforced upon us multiple times that there was nothing psychological about any of it, that the CE was about acceptance and not questioning it. It was, as you can imagine, a very boring event. Is it impossible to imagine that for some members of this community, there may have been events earlier in their lives that affected their thinking around sex/relationships/attachment that might help them to understand the way they think, feel, and behave today? No; we are simply to accept, lest we are invalidating and not supporting the BDSM/polyamory community.
On a reality TV competition, an overweight, conventionally unattractive person made themselves stand out with tall, strangely-coiffed bright hair, covered in piercings and tattoos, and wearing unconventional clothing. Part of me might wonder what it means for them to stand out this way, and why they've chosen as they have. But nothing about their choices or appearance is examinable; if one does not accept them as they are with no thought, we are seen as invalidating and not supporting them.
About sexual orientation or gender identity I will only say that all the research seems to indicate both are probably caused by a deeply nuanced interplay of genetics and environment -- not 100% genetics. However, we are strongly discouraged from talking about or thinking about the environment piece.
The goal of psychodynamic therapy is exploration, inquiry, and deeper understanding. We of all people should never be silenced or shamed in the questions we are allowed to ask, either as researchers or in session with our clients (up to a point, and of course prioritizing our client’s well-being). However, I think we are not protected in society against the rules that are put in place (understandably!) to cope with abusive, invalidating, hurtful laypeople. …But I feel we should be.

Just when we thought we had killed it the monster appeared again and I jad to attack it again.
The moinster had long shaggy hair and jagged teeth. It kept us on our toes all the time.

2024.05.15 00:32 ValkyrieOfficial Celery Executor Source Code!

Celery Executor Source Code!
Yes this post is about the actual Source of Celery.
Well a Part of it.
Well the Init Script.
This was made to show awareness even if the Executor is known, they might still forget a thing or two about strings.
Yes Celery has many vulnerabilities. This is Beta Version of Celery.
0% UNC, beta.
I've seen many Executors that have vulnerabilities but sorry Celery, Beta Build is bad.
I've seen better Beta Releases.
Sorry but this but if you are making your Executor this crap for your members.
Make it also 0% vulnerability mitigations rate because with OpenBrowserWindow and Publish everyone can do everything in your PC.
INCLUDING STEAL YOUR FULL PC.
This Post wasn't made to make Celery mad at me, again.
This Post was made to show awareness to them that Javan should had made the injector better with his MaskTest or whatever that is xD.
C:\Users\Javan\source\repos\MaskTest\MaskTest\zstd-dev\programs\fileio.c
Use an Alt if you don't want your Main to get banned.
Celery Beta MIGHT be Detected, not sure. And I am too bored to check its Detection Level.
But it was said by one of the Staff that it might be. So be secure and get a Alt.
Celery Beta is considered a Virus because if a Bad Script is run that uses Publish to get PC it can run cmd.exe to inject Virus into your PC.
If you are unsure if an Executor is a Virus, please talk with a friend or a group of people that have info about that Executor.
If you trust the Executor but not its vulnerabilities if it may have.
You can check its vulnerabilities with this Script.
I am sorry Celery.
But don't be mad at me again for something that I am clearly not the Problem of.
its just a Init Script anyway, not the whole Source.
I wouldn't leak that, I know how that would end. :) or Would I now.

2024.05.15 00:32 SkylarsDakotasDallas Overboard

So I have a question that I would love other people to weigh in. My question is would you invest in a body cam or what measures do you take to cover yourself because while I know you shouldn’t live on work full-time. This is my bread and butter. It’s always their word against ours, and I just would love to see what other people are doing to protect themselves

2024.05.15 00:32 pc_06 help finding trusted sources?

hi, I am very new to pirating, so new that I have never done it before.
I for my whole life I've bought my games legitimately, and to be fair, I don't know how I feel about pirating, but life is getting expensive, and I've fallen on hard times, I just don't have the money anymore to spend 50 bucks on a new AAA game, just to find out its shit and never play it again then eat instant noodles for a week just so some fat mf at EA can by another mansion in the Bahamas, then pump out another piece of shit expensive money grab excuse for a game.
so, I joined this subreddit.
as I mentioned previously, I don't have much money, and I can't afford to have my pc repaired after it gets injected with a ton of malware and viruses, there is so many websites I have found that claim to offer free steam games, but how do I tell which ones are legit?
if someone could help me to learn a bit about where I can get pirated games for cheap, or if possible free, without having my credit card stolen and my life fucked into oblivion, that would be great, thank you.

2024.05.15 00:29 B-chPlease AITA for telling my mom she has to move out?

I’ll start this off where it’s relevant. Me and my partner were looking to buy a house and when we found the one we wanted of course my mom wanted to do a walk through with us. So we did the walk through and she thought it was nice and even joked about the basement being all set up for a mother in-law suite. To which my husband replied we don’t have any intention of renting it out and we don’t know if we will need that space yet.
Later I was at her house visiting getting some help doing out taxes and she was on the phone then asked my about giving her landlord notice. I was busy I didn’t really hear her or know what she was asking and just said “ya ya, give me a minute.” And she walked away and I figured she’d ask me again after think it was about lunch or something. She never brought it up again but we had talked about it in the past and I always told her the same thing my husband had. We don’t plan on rent out the basement and we will probably need the space.
Fast-ward we just finish moving our stuff not even unpacked yet and she needs to move out cus she’s given her notice and of course I felt terrible saying “ya ya” not know what I was saying yes to. I convinced my husband to let her move in and his wasn’t happy but we moved her into the basement. We did say a few rules not smoking in the house there is a detached heated garage for that. The upstairs was supposed to be our space. And don’t overstep boundaries or our parenting.
That’s when all the issues started. My mom would make plans for me with little notice and monopolies my and my kids time. At first it was fine to get to spend time out with her and the kids but it became an issues when she wouldn’t respect my boundaries. Like I need more notice cus I do make plans with my husband to do family stuff or friends. Or I don’t want certain people around my kids and she would bring us there or invite them over. If I invited friends over she’d come upstairs and take over the conversation and not let me talk and try to bring them downstairs to sell them stuff she’s made. She never respected the upstairs was our space rule.
She would talk down to me in front of my kids why isn’t the house spotless. Why are there dishes in the sink etc.. she would complain about everything but never help. She would not listen if I told hethe kids no to something ex. Candy before dinner. Me: No you can’t have candy before dinner, maybe after. Her: They are only kids once let them have it. And would give it to them. They need to eat lunch but “oh she was on a diet.” And so on
It got to the point where she would tell me she doesn’t have to listen to me cus she’s my mother. My kids started to throw fits and say I was mean and “they wanted nana cus she gave them anything they wanted.” Or “why do I have to listen to you when nana doesn’t have too?”
One Christmas I was working to afford a better Christmas and help pay off the line of credit we needed for the house. We hosted the Christmas dinner and had family and friends and everyone helped out. I cooked all day and then took a nap while everyone else was enjoying dinner as I had to work the night and was already going to be running on fumes. When I got up to my surprise everyone was still there. They were helping put the food away and had made me a plate for work. When I got home the house was clean and I was relieved as I was exhausted and just wanted to get some sleep. My mom told me she did all the dishes for me and cleaned to kitchen.
I worked for a few months before and after Christmas and during this time my mom was chain smoking in the basement. Her bedroom right below ours and our kids rooms. Me and the kids have asthma and my husband has crippling migraines that helped encourage him to quit smoking years ago. I didn’t notice the smell unless I was down stairs but he noticed it immediately. Saying he can’t sleeping and his crippling migraines had come back and the house smelled like cigarettes smoke. I confronted my mother and she said no of course she would smoke in the house but all her stuff clothes, furniture, smells that way cus she use to smoke in the house at her old place. (Mind you she was living with us for months now, and some of her future was new and we only just started having a problem suddenly after months with no issues related to smoke/smell)
Me and my husband fought over this as I really didn’t want to believe she would smoke in the house. First off it’s illegal here and second she knows off all our health issues. And you can get in trouble with child protective services if they thinking your smoking in the house which is considered endangering the health and safety of your children. And asthma can be considered the fault of the parents if they are smoking around them. You can’t even smoke in the car if a child is in the car with you
So my husband got a nicotine testing kit and when it finally came in we put it to use. The house was completely clean when we moved in. We found next to nothing upstairs but downstairs was a different story. My mom’s bedroom and kitchen being the worst. I was so mad that I decided I would look around to see if I could find an ashtray. Well I found it in her nightstand right beside the bed…. I was pissed. I can still remembered her fallling asleep with a cigarette in her hand on multiple occasions as a kid and how lucky we were that she never burned the house down back then
I confronted her when she got home and her instantly denied it till I showed her my proof and that I found her ashtray “your husband didn’t want her there always” was her response. I was floored. The whole time I stood up for her after confronting her the first time. she was lying saying “I’m so sick, I’m not even smoking right now, I’m quitting.”
He had bin upset at first but the first few months were great till all the issues started. But I quickly realized that no matter what I said I’d be wrong and she wouldn’t apologize. She had no remorse or sympathy not even when I mentioned the kids health or mine and my husbands. As she was my mother I felt it was my personal responsibility to hold her accountable for her actions we were going to give her till the spring as she is old but her response infuriated me.
She made it clear she didn’t have any level of respect for me or my husband and didn’t care about her grandchildren’s health…. I told her she had till the end of the month to move. She was pissed. She wanted to die here and how could I pick my husband over her and allow him to force her to move and in a month no less. I told her it was my choice to only give her a month and that I couldn’t stand to look at her. And this was the straw that back the camel’s back.
After that she avoided us and would hide in the basement when she wasn’t at work. A day or so later I woke up in the middle of the night to a noise only to find my mother in kitchen going through our cupboards…. I asked her what the H she was doing in my kitchen in the middle of the night? After that I started double checking the door separating the basement from the upstairs was locked at night.
She didn’t want to move so naturally I helped her looked for a place. Did the walk throughs with her till she settled for a place and of course she complained the whole time. How could I do this to her, look at the house I was forcing her into. (She picked it) and it was the nicest one we looked at. In her price range. And it was still close enough to visit and come help her if she needed it.
She refused to pack so I ended up packing everything for her and as I was packing her things I kept coming across things she had stolen from us. A can opener, canned goods, cereal, shopping bags, a blanket she had knitted for the family for Christmas and other things she had got the kids among many random things she must have wanted. I was growing more upset as the days passed and I told my husband everything I had come across while packing her things each day. He told me not to bother taking anything back because she would probably forget she stole it and claim we were stoking her things. He said she could have anything she wanted and hopefully with time she would remember that we still gave her whatever she wanted and there might be hope to fix the relationship with her in the future.
We called a couple friends to help us move here. We even put the furniture in the rooms/spots she asked for them to be put and we them up. As for the boxes I was going to help her empty them and put everything away but the first night she refused to let me touch anything and I just ended up sitting there while she berated me. “You’re a horrible daughter!” “A horrible mother!” “You’d let your own mother live in this dump!” “Who going to take care of me now? I might as well just die” “if I die it’s because of what you put me through” and those are only thing things a can remember
She keep my there in till 2 in the morning after that I said I couldn’t help her because I still had kids at home I had to get up with and she wouldn’t let me help anyway just berate me the whole time.
Me and my husband both agreed that we wouldn’t stop her from seeing the kids but she would have to respect our boundaries or we would have to put a stop to it. She refuses to see us or the kids. She refuses to apologize or admit to any wrong doing. She going around telling everyone I’m dead to her and take we took everything from her and we used her and abused her. We stopped talking to her all together and stopped trying to visit her.

do you remember why they named you Deshmuhk?
i do
to remember, we have to go back
The dust swirled around, carried by the winds that roared through the mountain passes, howled in the valleys, and scoured the faces of the mountains. It was a thick gray dust, glittering here and there with plasma glass dust. Burnt out cars were covered by the dust, thickly caked after being rained on by thick, black rain.
A single building somehow sat intact amid the rubble and destruction. It was a low, squat building, surrounded by wreckage and ruin. A sign, blasted and scorched, had two jumping fish on it and the legend "Pop: 4,823" at the bottom even though the middle of the sign was gone.
The sound of drums and singing could be heard from the building. Not the driving frantic beat of modern music, but the steady cadence that carried with it a solemn feeling. The singing was from many different voices, male and female, but all of them in a language that time had nearly forgotten.
From out of the dust came figures. Two female, four male, and single figure that stood out from others.
Together, they moved toward the sound of singing, until the reached the door.
The leader, a large man of heavy muscle and bone, checked the doors with one hand, a large pistol in his hand.
"Barricaded," the large man said. He motioned. "We should check for any other entrances."
The older woman of brown skin and tightly braided hair moved forward.
"Allow me, brother," she said gently. She held her hand out, twitched her fingers, and smiled.
From inside came the sound of furniture scraping across the floor.
"Thank you," the large man said. He pushed open the doors, holding them for the others.
Inside was a curio shop slash tourist center slash museum. Buckskin and beaded works hung from the walls and ceiling. Glass cases containing ancient artifacts were scattered about, the glass shattered by the apocalypse that had rained down upon the world.
The drums played and the voices sang.
"It's a recording, Father," the slender brown skin man said, brushing the gray dust off of his clothing.
"Live voice," the largest of the men said. He lifted his head, cocking it slightly to listen closer with his right ear. "Young. Early twenties."
"If you say so," the thin man said. He looked around. "This is all devoted to a single person."
"Sometimes, people are that important to others, Dhruv," the older brown skin woman said softly, patting the slender man's arm. "Important to others as you are to us."
The slender man looked doubtful but nodded.
The youngest male of the group looked around, staring at the artifacts and relics scattered around. On his shoulder sat a green mantid wearing a food wrapper as a poncho.
"She's this way," the heavyset man said, leading them on a winding course through the shattered displays and racks.
In the back room, surrounded by artifacts, buckskins, and beaded works, sat a single young woman. Her eyes were white, blinded from the plasma flashes. Her skin was scarred from burns, her hair was only left in small patches. Her skin, beneath the ash and the scarring, was a rich bronze, her remaining hair was black.
She was singing along with the recording, swaying back and forth slightly.
there she is
remember her
remember remember
The larger man knelt down, touching the young woman.
She did not react.
"She's dying," the man said, standing up. "Hunger, thirst, radiation poisoning, at least a half dozen infections," he heft the pistol. "There's nothing we can do for her. Low-vee Apers."
"Low-vee APERS" the pistol replied in a heavy synthesized voice.
"Stay thy hand, Phillip," the one who was markedly different said, his voice as gentle as his features formed of flowing blue and white computer code.
The large man lowered the pistol.
"She's dying," the large man repeated. "Radiation poisoning, starvation, a hard way to go."
"Will none of you speak for her?" the man of code asked gently.
Before any of the others could act, the slim bald man stepped forward. "I will," he said softly.
the first time you reached out
a frozen moment of time remembered
by the buzzing of the bees
The man of code stepped forward, touching the hairless brow of the slender man, just above the missing eyebrows.
"I understand her words now," the slender man said. He moved up and knelt down. "I can heal her."
"Then do so, Luke," the man of code said.
The large man stepped back, a compartment opening on his thigh. He holstered the pistol, looking doubtful, and the compartment smoothly closed, leaving his leg unblemished.
"I need more genetic code," the slender man stated. He stood up, moving around, touching artifacts. "This. Here. An artifact recovered from a collector only a few years ago. It has genetic code attached."
He touched the artifact, then moved over to the woman, who was still swaying back and forth, singing, unaware of the others around her.
He knelt down, reached out carefully, and touched her forehead.
you reached out to another
helpless and alone
like you
The woman threw her head back, her eyes opening wide, her mouth opening in a gasp. The white drained from her eyes, the scar tissue went soft and was replaced by unblemished skin. The blisters, sores, and scratches on her body vanished.
She collapsed forward, the slender man, Luke, catching her.
"Is she alright?" the youngest male asked, his voice full of honest concern.
"Exhausted," Luke said. He lowered his head slightly, sweat dripping from his bald scalp. "That was tiring."
The glittering man moved forward, kneeling down to touch the shoulders of both the woman and the bald man.
"Now you see in yourself what I saw in you," he said.
remember
remember
even the smallest can shake the universe
remember
Sirens were howling in the bay as Jaskel wriggled, trying to break free of whatever was holding him upside down in mid-air. He'd already dropped his chainsword, his pistol had fallen from his equipment belt.
The two stood in the middle of the deployment area for Clone War Bay Sixteen, the male's arm protectively around the shoulders of the female, who wore only the cloak.
"I..." the word hung in the air.
It seemed like the entire universe held its breath to Jaskel.
"...am Legion."
The Admiral grabbed his pistol, rolling in place, firing it as fast as he could pull the trigger.
The rounds exploded on the glowing blue shield that only appeared around the impact points, showering sparks across the bay.
The bald figure made a motion and the pistol flew into pieces, the Admiral yanked into the air upside down.
"Gimme missiles," Jaskel grated from between gritted teeth.
--legion legion legion-- 8814 transmitted. --wait don't wait--
The woman spoke, her cadence stately and almost archaic feeling.
The man spoke back to her in the same language.
More troops ran into the bay, even as the windows overlooking the bay shattered. Weapons deployed, pointing at the pair.
The slender man, without looking, motioned.
Guns flew away, breaking apart, rapidly disassembling. Power armored troops were flung into the air, to hang upside down. Captain N'Skrek found himself upside down, scrabbling for purchase on this air.
The woman spoke to the man. He spoke back.
Finally, he turned, facing the troops hanging in mid-air.
The woman spoke.
"My sister apologies for my rude actions," the man said. "I am merely ensuring her safety."
She spoke some more.
"She has been gone for many years," the man said. He looked around. "My sister, a Biological Apostle of the Digital Omnimessiah, pleads with you to lower your weapons and stay your hands."
The tension was so thick it almost made Jaskel gag.
Finally, the Captain put the tip of a bladearm against his temple.
"Stand down," he said, Jaskel hearing it through his armor's commo system. "All hands, stand down."
There was silence for a moment, only broken by the background humming of the ship's systems.
The woman spoke.
The man faced the Captain.
"She will go with you, to answer questions, on the stipulation that I accompany her and that no man's hand is raised against me without cause," he said.
The Captain nodded.
Jaskel felt relief as he was flipped over and set on his feet.
--luke luke luke is here--
999999
Captain N'Skrek ducked slightly to fit through the doorway into the Captain's Briefing Room Six.
Sitting at one end was the woman, now clothed in what his implant assured him was treated deer hide leather, with tassels and beads upon it. The man was wearing a uniform that made his implant twitch and his nerves draw tight.
A Terran Combined Military Authority uniform.
His staff filed in behind him and took their seats once he sat down.
"I'm Captain N'Skrek, currently assigned to the Gray Lady on autonomous assignment," N'Skrek said.
"You heard me," the slim bald man said. He gave a grin. "You may also know me as Vat Grown Luke or Dhruv Deshmuhk."
The woman spoke and he shook his head. "Yes, sister, I know, Deshmuhk is my slave name. I wear it for revenge."
The woman spoke again, her tone slightly chiding.
"Like they say, the best revenge is living well, sister," the man said, still smiling.
Again, the woman spoke.
N'Skrek noticed that his implant was absolutely no help in deciphering the woman's speech.
"I know that doing things like that and saying things like that is exactly why Daxin always told me people wanted to punch me in the face," the man laughed.
He turned back to Captain N'Skrek.
"My apologies. My sister refuses to speak anything but her people's ancient tongue," his eyes gleamed with mischief. "She is slightly put out with me for answering in Confederate Standard, since now you know that she understands perfectly what you are saying."
N'Skrek nodded. Vat Grown Luke had given up a valuable piece of information in what was sure to be delicate negotiations.
"And what should we call your sister?" N'Skrek asked.
Vat Grown Luke smiled. "Tsakáka Wia, but it would probably be easier for you to use the more common name," he said.
The woman spoke sternly.
"What? It's your commonly known name?" he said, smiling.
The woman's face grew stern and she spoke rapidly.
"The first lesson we learn, sister mine, is that we must bend the knee to reality," Luke said gently. "That name has no power, only a few of us remember it."
i remember
the bees remember
can't you hear it in their buzzing?
The woman spoke again, her expression softening.
Luke turned back to the gathered officers. "Her name, as you would know it, is Sacajawea."
N'Skrek consulted his implant.
And felt fear chill his icon. He looked at his staff and saw that a lot of them looked sick.
"That's right. We are real, and he was real," Luke said. He leaned forward slightly. "He was real both times."
N'Skrek stayed relaxed and calm, at least outwardly.
"I am willing to accept, at this time, that the Biological Apostles and the Digital Omnimessiah were and are real," N'Skrek said.
"Just be glad Dax isn't here. He's not as even tempered as I am," Luke said.
Sacajawea spoke again and Luke laughed. He looked at Captain N'Skrek. "She was just reminding me of the time Daxin completely lost his cool and went to town with his cutting bar on a Countess Crey Bingo Cola vending machine that ate his money then mocked him for it."
"He was known as Enraged Phillip," N'Skrek said.
Sacajawea spoke for a moment and Legion laughed, then turned to N'Skrek.
"Yes."
N'Skrek hated that. When a person spoke at length and the translator just replied with a single word.
"Why are you here?" N'Skrek asked.
Legion smiled. "You have forgotten important things, Captain. You, and the entire Confederacy have forgotten some very important things."
"Like what?" N'Skrek asked.
"If you print enough identical clones, I am reborn through them," Legion smiled. "But that's not the big part. The big one is the one that the Mar-gite's masters either forgot or never learned."
"What is that?" N'Skrek asked.
Legion smiled widely.
"What fear tastes like."
your name is dhruv

By prioritizing licensing and registration, healthcare staffing agencies can establish a solid foundation for success in South Dakota's competitive healthcare industry.

Insurance and liability

Insurance and liability are crucial aspects to consider when starting and growing a healthcare staffing agency in South Dakota. As the healthcare industry is highly regulated, it is important to have the appropriate insurance coverage to protect the agency, its employees, and clients. This includes professional liability insurance to cover any potential malpractice claims, general liability insurance to protect against accidents or injuries on the agency's premises, and workers' compensation insurance to provide financial support for employees who may suffer work-related injuries. Additionally, it is essential to regularly review and update insurance policies to ensure they meet the changing needs of the agency and comply with state and federal regulations.

Additionally, healthcare staffing agencies must also comply with industry-specific regulations, such as those set forth by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Failing to comply with these laws and regulations can result in severe penalties, legal consequences, and damage to the agency's reputation.

Building Relationships with Healthcare Facilities

Understanding the needs of healthcare facilities

By offering tailored staffing solutions and providing expertise in healthcare staffing, consulting firms can help healthcare facilities optimize their staffing processes and ensure the delivery of quality patient care.

Negotiating contracts and agreements

Negotiating contracts and agreements is a crucial aspect of running a successful healthcare staffing agency. It requires careful consideration and attention to detail to ensure that both parties involved are satisfied with the terms and conditions.

This knowledge can help the agency tailor its staffing solutions to meet the specific requirements of healthcare facilities in South Dakota.

A well-executed advertising and marketing strategy can help the agency establish a strong brand presence, attract qualified healthcare professionals, and build relationships with healthcare facilities, ultimately leading to the growth and sustainability of the business.

Challenges and Opportunities in the Healthcare Staffing Industry

Shortage of healthcare professionals

The shortage of healthcare professionals is a significant challenge faced by the healthcare staffing industry in South Dakota. With the increasing demand for healthcare services, there is a growing need for skilled and qualified professionals to meet the needs of the population. However, the limited availability of healthcare professionals, especially in rural areas, poses a major obstacle to the growth and expansion of healthcare staffing agencies. This shortage not only affects the quality of patient care but also puts a strain on existing healthcare facilities. To address this issue, it is crucial for healthcare staffing agencies to develop strategies to attract and retain healthcare professionals, such as offering competitive salaries, providing professional development opportunities, and establishing partnerships with educational institutions to promote healthcare careers in the state.

Competition from other staffing agencies

Competition from other staffing agencies is a significant challenge that healthcare staffing agencies in South Dakota face. With the increasing demand for healthcare professionals, the market has become highly competitive. To stand out from the competition, healthcare staffing agencies need to focus on providing exceptional services and building strong relationships with healthcare facilities. One area that can give a competitive edge is email deliverability. Ensuring that emails are delivered to the intended recipients in a timely manner is crucial for effective communication and maintaining client relationships. By prioritizing email deliverability, healthcare staffing agencies can enhance their communication channels and improve overall client satisfaction.

Changing healthcare regulations and policies

Changing healthcare regulations and policies play a crucial role in the success and growth of healthcare staffing agencies in South Dakota. Staying updated with the latest changes ensures compliance and adherence to legal requirements. It also allows agencies to adapt their operations and strategies to meet the evolving needs of the healthcare industry. By closely monitoring and understanding these regulations and policies, healthcare staffing agencies can effectively navigate challenges and capitalize on new opportunities.

Conclusion

Summary of key points

Starting and growing a healthcare staffing agency in South Dakota presents both opportunities and challenges.

2024.05.15 00:22 SociallyDrivenMusic Sometimes Music Reflects Society, Now It Must Also Urgently Lead Again!

So, it’s been suggested that we present a simplified overview of the recent essays (linked below) that I co-wrote with respected analyst Hanna Kahlert, of renowned London-based MIDiA Research, which covered so much territory of interconnected concepts that all affect the current and future viability of the music industry. This summary eschews the essays’ “$10 words,” (with the exception of using “eschews” here!) with which some have struggled, and is shared in the bite-sized, more digestible form of a survey and petition in combination with this summary/bullet point preface of some of the most salient points. The survey and petition presents the essence of our thesis in the uncomplicated context of a proactive social impact campaign format.
First, let me explain. I grew up in a Long Island suburb town (about thirty miles outside New York City) during the “English Invasion” of music. I’d first hear new releases on my FM clock radio tuned to stations that prided themselves on finding the “cool stuff” first. It was a time when we were met almost every day with another astounding, mind-blowing record and artist to discover, often with something worth thinking about and culturally significant. Sometimes these releases would even be life-changing. Many of these recordings would become iconic — classic evergreens with songs covered endlessly. Yes, like today, there were also dismissable records then. The difference would seem to be that there are more songs about nothing today, replete with de rigeur profanity that only further detracts and is anything but “cool." While there are some very imaginative productions and impressive singers, there are few records now that demand a cerebral, emotional response, and there is a dearth that will be remembered as moving the needle at all, so to speak. Even customary love themes are largely just recycled imitations of the greats.
Since I also relate to the sensitivity of empaths — someone attuned to the deep feelings of those around them at a personal level — I tend to gravitate to music with a message that connects with us viscerally, that which touches the soul. Especially in our currently fraught times, there clearly is a need for thought-provoking music and for more attention given to the evolution of this genre of what was once deemed “protest songs.” Socially poignant music is a category that disguises protest in metaphors and yet is just as potent. It will create community and superfans, lift spirits, and engender a large movement of positive social advocacy. I established Socially Driven Music to develop and market #Music4APurpose. The concept resonated with Hanna Kahlert and we set about to co-write what we envision.
While developing our conclusions towards offering actionable, viable value-propositions for the music industry, we took several months to sort our ideas, research, digest and assimilate the daily deluge of information about changes battering the music industry. While I wasn’t aware that Mark Mulligan, MIDiA’s Founder and Managing Director, was developing his “Bifurcation Theory,” it is validating to be in sync with his thinking and to be presenting what I consider to be the roadmap to implementing that theory. I am excited about offering takeaways that will hopefully propel many away from feelings of helpless, hopeless despair and towards optimism and positive activism through the enrapture we seek from our music and the communities built around it.
Socially driven music has traditionally been a powerful way to raise awareness about issues across the board, such as Discrimination, Climate, Democracy, Mental Health, Bullying, Substance Abuse, Antisemitism, Equality, Homelessness, Veterans, Suicide,Terrorism, Gun Control, Women’s Productive Rights, Food and Clean Water Insecurity, Cancer and other illnesses, Animal Rights/Protection, Environmental Justice, Oceans, LGBTQ+ rights, etc. Our mandate recognizes the crucial difference of a sustained campaign animated by a song.
Above all, we must always remember and honor “The Greatest Generation” (and all Veterans) who fought and died upholding ideals that they expected us to continue to respect. Political affiliation is most often indoctrinated and not questioned individually. Support traditional Republican philosophy if you must, but #MAGA is not the antidote to Democrats and is authoritarian and dangerous to our democracy!
All causes, including music rights, are affected by the influence of a common denominator — politics. Each social cause group is a large community which can be further grown and energized with the natural evolution of fans to music superfans. Compelling socially thematic music enraptures and beckons fans to demonstrate their proud commonality and membership in a next generation fan club that can actually impact society with its fervor and political influence.
Socially Driven Music, the #Music4APurpose consultancy brand, powers extraordinary reciprocal benefits for artists and songwriters when integrated with the community of fans, causes, supportive brands and empathetic politicians ! [info@sociallydrivenmusic.com](mailto:info@sociallydrivenmusic.com)
A list of many social impact causes can be found in the dropdown menu here.
We are thrilled and very appreciative to have been invited to talk with some of the most highly regarded podcast and webinar programs which will include delving into why major record labels discouraging artists espousing political views is anachronistic, irrelevant and no longer a barrier.
As you work through the survey and petition in this post, you’ll likely have an “aha moment.” We look forward to working with you and our fast growing interactive coaltion who share a passion for energizing positive changes in causes that matter to us all.

Join us. Democracy is a big issue in 2024 and one we can influence together! (The correct local and national choices will influence the rest.)

ONE:
https://forms.gle/c3gECmDp4RyZCxxW6
TWO:

THREE:
Identify your Senators and Congressional Representatives with this link and website tool, below, and let us know in the above survey for what purpose you’d like to collaborate with them. Socially Driven Music’s mandate is to facilitate a potent music-fan-cause-brand-political influencer consortium for positive social impact.
Raise your hand in the survey if you are an artist who might want to volunteer at a voting polling station or actually volunteer to help a campaign with calling voters (and meet some new fans).
PS: Although this piece is focused on how music can influence American politics and the fraught issues it impacts, this same template can be applied worldwide. Talk to us!
https://www.govtrack.us/congress/member

And here is the epitome example of what we aspire to create:
Paul Simon wrote the masterpiece “American Tune” in 1973 and it applies 51 years later even more to today’s troubled times. This is one of the best examples of the socially poignant music that we contend is so important to create again today, and a brilliant example of a copyright that will live on forever.
The first link is Rhiannon Giddens with Paul at the Grammy Salute evening for him. The second link is Paul’s original.
The song will bring the listener to tears as it describes a societal hopelessness and yet compels the listener to fight through the despair. It perfectly summarizes the emotion powering Socially Driven Music and I hope helps convey what this written summary is trying to articulate.

2024.05.15 00:22 Kserijaro Helldiver Scout Report to Super Earth

This report is directed to the Military engineers of Super Earth. I am mainly a light armor scout, weaving through the battlefield unnoticed, bombing locations and taking out primary targets with my AM-Rifle. After 44h on duty, I have grown accustomed to the feel of the battle and I feel that this report might guide us all to a better, more democratic future.
I will not be diving deep into our primary armaments- there are quite a selection of great weapons, however, equally there are weapons that have no niche or are simply underdeveloped and require MORE firepower. Certainly there are Helldivers with better eloquence than me on this subject matter.
Stratagems- I have received notification that Super Earth wants all Helldivers to rely on Stratagems to clear major enemy targets, however this is mostly not possible. The loading times for armaments are WAY too long, and by the time we load the next salvo, we are swimming in Robot guts and electronics. Mind you, the bugs are fine, but the Robots.... Not so much. Let me not get into the horror of Rocket and Heavy Devastaors are IMPOSSIBLE to beat fast.
Each of our turrets draws enemy fire like they are programmed to attack the turrets and not us, rending most turret placements WORTHLESS. The turrets ALL need to be harder, stronger and more durable. Why are they a primary target over 4 juicy DEMOCATIC LIBERATORS? Makes no sense. Even the bugs focus fire turrets. And imagine- we gathered many samples to make them beefier but now they take backseat to Aerial stirkes. Make turrets DEMOCRATIC AGAIN!

I am writing you all this because it was a JOY to spend my hard earned campaign salary on new modules for MY VERY OWN DESTROYER. It is to my great sadness seeing 500k bomb take out 3 targets in a tiny, non-democratic radius. Its all flash and no oomph. It really needs MORE FUEL in the bomb, sirs.
120 and 380 Barrages need to be MODERATED towards targets, this way they are just blind shooting at NOTHING. Or, if we will shoot blindly, lets load those shots three times faster and BURY the enemy in heavy LEAD!
Why is our lasor expandable? Does if fall off from the Destroyer? How can this be? It needs to be UNLIMITED LIKE DEMOCRACY ITSELF! Next up - the energy wall is powered by enemy batteries? Instead of having unique HP that gets removed on deployment - Boost energy dome to have DURATION and INFINITE DEMOCRATIC PROTECTIVE HP! It has niche uses vs Automatons and should be a great addition to load-outs if boosted.
We have high tech aiming system, yet a plane is our best delivery system? All those FREEDOM FIGHTERS on our ships cant aim for nothing, and all the guiding lasers seems to bounce of many surfaces. These need to be fixed asap!
Also - our helmets need to give battle boons, and bolster our lines of defenses!
Lastly - you adjust our weapons too many times per a month, making all our investments UNCERTAIN. These changes end up being quite UNDEMOCRATIC, as if aimed to HELP the enemy? Lets make weapons more stable, in terms of EXPLOSIVE firepower.
Lastly, I circle back to you- fellow Helldivers? Do you agree we should have MORE FIREPOWER?

2024.05.15 00:18 CabinetNecessary6178 My Primarch GF Chronicle: Petra’s Anvil (F! Perturabo’s SO)

Disclaimer: This current version is the "good" route so most endings will be somewhat happy/hopeful but will still be (mostly) canon compliant
What happened
During the gruelling campaign against the Hrud where Petra and the Anvil fought side by side together with their legion they suddenly received an emergency message from Olympia sent by Petra’s adoptive sister Calliphone. The message went on to deliver the news that Olympia have fallen into disarray with the widespread discontent devolving into outright violence and a civil war ensued. This devastating news led to Petra having to cut her campaign short right on the eve of the decisive battle against the last of the Hrud, deeming the threat to be mostly neutralised and Olympia being a bigger priority.
On their journey returning to Olympia, there was a heated discussion between Petra , her inner circle known as the Trident and The Anvil on the most appropriate course of action. While Petra wanted to swiftly end the conflict by putting down all the warring factions violently and eliminate all those responsible for Olympia falling into such disarray, her Anvil, ever the diplomat at heart suggest only eliminating those who refuse to stand down and come to the negotiating table to resolve the cause of discontent and reform the planet’s government to prevent such an incident from ever occurring again. Despite everyone, including Petra herself, agreeing to this course of action, it was all for naught as when the Iron Warriors landed on Olympia, they were immediately fired upon by one of the many insurrectionist factions. Already being enraged from having to cut the Hrud campaign short, such an act of defiance, by her own home world no less, proved to be the last straw as the Countess of Iron immediately rescinded her previous orders and instead ordered the Iron warriors to eliminate of anyone even showing any hint of resistance or sympathy towards the insurgents.
Immediately after Petra’s new orders were issued, the Anvil left and informed several likeminded officers who , along with the men under their command, decided to join their Primarch’s lover in stopping this madness. They immediately contacted Calliphone and began coordinating evacuation efforts and delaying the Iron Warriors under Petra for as long as possible by causing deliberate miscommunication and sowing general confusion within the ranks with the help of those Iron Warriors who while sympathetic to their cause dared not to openly oppose their Primarch. This was met with relative success as several units of Iron Warriors “accidentally” marched on an uninhabited area on the planet or deliberately loudly discussing Petra’s latest orders within earshot of Olympian citizens. Despite this relative success, many Iron Warriors, especially those under Petra’s direct command, still followed through with the Primarch’s orders which led to the death of at least over half of the planet’s population with thousands remaining unaccounted for.
The deception could not go on forever however, and Petra soon learn of the actions of her lover and adoptive sister. Enraged and confused by the actions of the two people she trusted most, the countess of Iron stopped her assault and contacted both the Anvil and Calliphone under a flag of truce to discuss the matter and understand why they would go to such lengths for people she perceived as “traitors and rebels”. Petra and her officers arrived at the agreed upon location for the truce to find only her lover and Calliphone waiting there. It is not fully known what truly transpired during the discussion but it ultimately ended with Calliphone’s death and the Anvil being allowed to peacefully leave Olympia alongside all the people they’ve saved , the soldiers and Iron Warriors who chose to follow them.
Years later, a rumor within the legion would surface telling of what happened with the alleged source of this story being one of the officers who accompanied Petra to the truce negotiations. According to this rumor, it was said that the discussion got heated when Calliphone began berating the Primarch about how she should’ve contacted Calliphone first and that Petra has “taken things too far”. Offended by such remarks from a “mere mortal” one of the junior officers accompanying Petra grabbed her by the throat and strangled her on the spot. This drew the ire of Petra who felt that the officer had not only violated her command but made her into an oathbreaker, the Primarch then proceeded to beat the officer to death with her bare hands on the spot before accepting the terms presented by her lover and allow them to leave in peace as is officially known.
Once the Anvil and those that have accompanied her had left Olympia, Petra had begun creating the design for the robots that would later become known as The Iron Circle as she felt that she no longer had anyone she could fully trust by her side. Meanwhile, the Anvil sought out the warsmith Barabas Dantioch who assisted them in properly organising a fleet and finding a relatively unknown and well hidden planet to temporarily act as a base for both the refugees of Olympia and the soldiers and Astartes who followed them.
Once the heresy had broken out the Anvil was initially horrified and appalled by Petra’s actions on Istvaan V. However, horror soon made way for concern once a member of the Trident contacted the Anvil, informing them of the events that transpired on Iydris and how Petra nearly died at the hands of her own sister, Fulgrim. Determined to settle their conflicting emotions of horror for her prior actions and concern given the recent events that occurred they decided to confront Petra one last time to discuss the future of their relationship.
The Anvil chose to make their way towards Terra knowing that the traitors would definitely concentrate all their forces there and hoping to confront Petra alongside most of their Astartes and soldiers while leaving the Olympian refugees under the protection of a small garrison force. However, their fleet were suddenly intercepted by an Alpha Legion warship who informed them that they should avoid entering the Sol system as the siege of Terra was already well underway and gave them information on how Petra and the Iron Warriors would soon be replaced by the Death Guard as the ones leading the siege of Terra along with how the Warmistress sought to use the Iron Warriors on Terra as a spearhead to soak up most of the casualties before sending in her own legion into the fray. Understanding that such actions could unnecessarily put Petra in great danger, the Anvil chose to forward all of this information along with a message to meet and talk about their relationship and “forever home” later using a direct communication device given to them by Petra before departing Olympia all those years ago. The Anvil later received a reply from Petra thanking them for the information and was informed that the given info was one of the deciding factors in her decision to abandon the siege of Terra. The message then went on to state that they should meet and discuss their future together after she settled things “one last time” with her sister Dorn.
Later on, the Anvil received another message from an agent of the Alpha Legion stating that they should ”Head to Sebastus IV as soon as possible, or risk losing the one you love forever”. Given that this was from the same Alpha Legionnaire who informed them of the siege of Terra, they chose to believe it and immediately head for the planet alongside their retinue of men. The Anvil arrived at the “Eternal Fortress” on the planet near the end of the battle that would later be known as the “Iron Cage”. While the battle was nearly over the Anvil finally managed to confront Petra just as she was about to begin her ritual of sacrificing Imperial Fist gene seed to ascend to daemonhood.
When they were reunited for the first time in years, the Anvil began pleading for Petra to just abandon the ritual and leave together to a peaceful place where they can settle down and build their “Forever Home” together. After a moment of silence that seemed to last an eternity, Petra finally ordered the gene seed to be removed from her presence ordered a general withdrawal and departed with her lover before the Ultramarines arrived to relieve the fists.
In her final actions as the leader of her legion Petra guided them to the planet of Medrengard and built the fortress there to act as their new base of operations and left her legion under the command of the Trident before giving the Astartes in her legion a choice between peacefully retiring to the hidden world where the descendants of the refugees from Olympia resides or continue the long war here in Medrengard.
Once all was said and done, Petra relinquished the command of her legion and departed her lover abroad the Iron Blood, guarded by The Iron Circle. Finally leaving all the war and bloodshed behind for good and depart for their “Forever Home”.
Afterword: Oh man this one took quite a bit of work lol I was gonna write about what they’re currently up to in the 41st millennium but I just felt that leaving it open ended like this is probably better.
As for the nickname “Anvil” that was something I came up with myself based on Perty’s canon nickname of the “Hammer of Olympia” so I decided to make the SO an anvil to go along with Petra’s hammer. It’s also a reference to how anvils acts a workbench for the hammer and help support/soak up the hammer’s strikes much like the pair’s relationship dynamic.
Credits u/Sweet_older-Sister for making the AU a reality u/NadiaFortuneFeet for the female name of Petra
I hope you guys enjoy it and any feedback and criticism is welcome.

2024.05.15 00:18 SomewhereAfter7366 Segmentation fault when updating matrices (glm)

I'm trying to get this simple OpenGL program started but I hit a segmentation fault. It's just a camera that moves linearly with free look, and one model. It looks like it's relating to a glm header. I can't seem to find what the issue is.
The stack includes a call to Camera::moveUp(), which is unexpected. The update loop doesn't contain moveUp(), and sequentially speaking it should run updateCameraVectors() before recalculateViewMatrix(). moveUp() is in Movement.h which runs in the glut keyboard event loop. It's possible some buffered use of the keyboard is prematurely triggering this?
I used valgrind to get this info about the seg fault. I also recompiled and ran it again, which gave me a slightly different backtrace which I posted at the bottom:
==14529== Process terminating with default action of signal 11 (SIGSEGV): dumping core
==14529== General Protection Fault
==14529== at 0x4080CB: Camera::recalculateViewMatrix() (type_mat4x4.inl:136)
==14529== by 0x40863D: Camera::moveUp() (Camera.cpp:86)
==14529== by 0x17CF79F09996D848: ???

==14529== by 0x50DE12D: glutMainLoop (in /uslib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglut.so.3.9.0)
==14529== by 0x403F20: main (main.cpp:36)
The update loop:
void update() {
using Clock = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock;
auto startFrameTime = Clock::now();
// Update camera
Camera::Instance()->updateCameraVectors();
Camera::Instance()->recalculateViewMatrix();
Camera::Instance()->sendMatricesToShader();
auto endFrameTime = Clock::now();
auto frameDuration = std::chrono::duration_cast(endFrameTime - startFrameTime);
lastFrameTimeLength = (float)frameDuration.count();
}
recalculateViewMatrix():
void Camera::recalculateViewMatrix() {
viewMatrix = glm::lookAt(cameraPOS, cameraPOS + cameraFront, cameraUp);
}
moveUp():
void Camera::moveUp() {
cameraPOS += cameraSpeed * cameraFront;
recalculateViewMatrix();
}
Second time after recompiling and running. This time the program ran moveDown() instead of moveUp():
==23027== Process terminating with default action of signal 11 (SIGSEGV)
==23027== General Protection Fault
==23027== at 0x40812B: Camera::recalculateViewMatrix() (type_mat4x4.inl:136)

2024.05.15 00:17 akbrag91 Screen(s) go black randomly WITH Sound and Computer still running

I am currently having an issue with my screen randomly going black. Most of the time it does NOT occur during heavy load or gaming. It is usually at random times while browsing, or watching a video file/streaming/watching YouTube. It does happen with gaming at times ;however, it is inconsistent. I have had no temperature spikes, graphical glitches, artifacts, bluescreen or hard crashes. FPS and gaming performance is just fine and show no sign of any issues. Just my screen going black with the sound of whatever I am doing still playing. I will hear the Windows chime sound as if something was unplugged or plugged in.
After doing some googling, I have done the following with no changes:
  1. Replaced my PSU with another one. Issue did not happen for 3-5 days then started up again
  2. Uninstalled current driver using DDU and installed an older driver, my issue has continued. I also turned off all “performance” settings used on NVIDIA Experience. I did not even reinstalled NVIDIA Experience and the issue persists. I have never overclocked my GPU or CPU. Personally, I’ve never even attempted with this machine.
  3. Turned off Gsync
  4. Ran varies Virus Scans.
  5. Checked that both of my screens were at the same refresh/hertz rate which they are. This issue happens with one screen plugged in as well as two. The issue effects both screens. Issue still occurs with by DP and HDMI cables.
6. Interesting, at one point this issue occurred when I had NO DRIVER INSTALLED. I was in the middle of what I did during what I mentioned in point #2 and the issue occured.
7. Cleaned out dust and debris inside computer.
My EventFiles can be viewed HERE and my DxDiag can be viewed HERE
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. My next step is to maybe reinstall Windows as a whole but I am unsure that will fix the issue.
Edit: Per bot request, I am attempting to find the minidump file but I cannot seem to find it

2024.05.15 00:17 freeaav My experience with first time bc

Ive been taking the opill for a little over a month now, and i wanted to share my experience so far so others can maybe know what to expect.
To start things off, im 22, weigh about 118 pounds. ive never been on any form of birth control (strict hispanic parents). Im also not super sexually active, my and my boyfriend are long distance so we dont get to see each other often, but when we do, tmi, we have a lot of sex (condom and/or raw). We use the pullout method a lot, and thankfully no surprises. This is one of the main reasons why i decided to start taking the opill, added protection. I also have really bad cramps while on my period, so i did some research and saw there was a possibility of my cramps not being too bad or just getting rid of my period completely (which i dont prefer).
I bought the 3 month supply, and ive finished 1 pack and im on week 2 of a new pack. The only side effects Ive noticed are: slight increase in appetite (no noticeable weight gain, i actually look a little slimmer), tendesensitive breasts, a little bit more discharge than usual, and increased libido(within 3 weeks of starting). Im aware its different for everyone, and i was nervous for weight gain, and increase in acne, but i just learned to not over eat, and keep up with a daily skincare routine.
I started the pills after my period, and i havent felt any kind of dizziness, nausea, or anything like that. I actually felt pretty good. I was hoping to still get my monthly period, for confirmation that im for sure not pregnant, and i did end up getting it! On my expected day i really only noticed some cramping, and the day after that, the bleeding started 3 days after my expected day, and the cramps were still bad. I was going through it at work, had to sit down most of the time, and my painkillers took a little longer to kick in but they did eventually. TMI WARNING, my blood also was a bit chunkier, nothing too crazy but i did notice it a little bit. My periods are usually like 2-3 days, then the rest is just the bbq stage. I started my period last week on Thursday, and usually by this time, I'd be in the bbq stage but my blood is still a normal bright red, not even dark. This isnt common for MY body, and im hoping the bleeding stops soon. At this time i have no cramps, i did have a little breakout but nothing my routine couldnt fix in like a day.
I havent had any kind of sex since starting the pill, but my bf is coming over in June so I'll keep updating if anyone is interested.
But yea this is my experience so far, overall im happy with it, just hoping my period goes away soon🙏

As the demand for healthcare professionals continues to rise, there is a growing need for staffing solutions that can provide qualified and reliable nurses. However, entering the healthcare staffing industry can be challenging due to the competitive nature of the market and the need to navigate complex regulations and licensing requirements. Despite these challenges, there are significant opportunities for growth and success in this sector. By understanding the unique needs of the healthcare industry in Georgia and leveraging innovative strategies, entrepreneurs can establish a nursing agency that meets the demand for skilled nursing professionals and contributes to the improvement of healthcare services in the state.

Understanding the Healthcare Staffing Market in Wyoming

Demographics and healthcare demand in Wyoming

Wyoming, with its unique demographics and healthcare demand, presents both opportunities and challenges for launching a healthcare staffing business. As the least populous state in the country, Wyoming has a small but diverse population that requires specialized healthcare services. The state's rural nature and vast geographic area make it essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the healthcare needs of different regions. Additionally, Wyoming's healthcare system relies heavily on federal funding, making it crucial to navigate the complexities of government regulations and funding mechanisms. By leveraging the right banking solutions for taquerías, healthcare staffing businesses can effectively address the specific healthcare demands of Wyoming's population.

Existing healthcare staffing agencies in Wyoming

Wyoming is home to several existing healthcare staffing agencies that have established themselves in the state's healthcare industry. These agencies have successfully navigated the challenges of the frontier state and have built a strong presence in the market. When it comes to venture capital, these agencies have also attracted investments to fuel their growth and expansion. With the support of venture capital, they have been able to scale their operations, invest in cutting-edge technology, and attract top talent. As a result, these agencies have been able to provide high-quality staffing solutions to healthcare facilities across Wyoming.

Trends and growth projections in the healthcare staffing market

The healthcare staffing market is experiencing significant trends and growth projections. As the demand for healthcare professionals continues to rise, so does the need for staffing solutions. With the increasing complexity of the healthcare industry, healthcare facilities are turning to staffing agencies to find qualified and skilled professionals.

Online platforms and digital tools have made it easier for healthcare facilities to connect with staffing agencies and streamline the recruitment process. As a result, the healthcare staffing market is projected to experience substantial growth in the coming years.

Legal and Regulatory Considerations

Licensing and certification requirements for healthcare staffing businesses

Licensing and certification requirements for healthcare staffing businesses in Wyoming are an important aspect to consider when launching a healthcare staffing business in the state. To operate legally and provide quality services, healthcare staffing businesses must adhere to the regulations set forth by the Wyoming Department of Health and other relevant regulatory bodies. These requirements ensure that healthcare staffing businesses meet the necessary standards and have the appropriate qualifications and credentials to provide staffing solutions in the healthcare industry. Obtaining the required licenses and certifications demonstrates a commitment to professionalism and ensures compliance with state regulations, ultimately building trust and credibility with clients and healthcare professionals alike.

Compliance with state and federal employment laws

Compliance with state and federal employment laws is crucial for any business, especially in the healthcare staffing industry. In Wyoming, navigating the frontier state adds an extra layer of complexity to ensure that your healthcare staffing business is in full compliance. Understanding and adhering to the latest marketing tips for small businesses is essential in promoting your services while staying within the legal boundaries. By staying up-to-date with the ever-changing landscape of employment laws and implementing effective marketing strategies, you can establish a solid foundation for your healthcare staffing business in Wyoming.

Insurance and liability considerations for healthcare staffing agencies

Insurance and liability considerations are crucial for healthcare staffing agencies operating in Wyoming. As the healthcare industry is highly regulated, it is essential for staffing agencies to have comprehensive insurance coverage to protect themselves and their clients. This includes professional liability insurance, general liability insurance, and workers' compensation insurance. Professional liability insurance safeguards against claims of negligence or errors in providing healthcare services, while general liability insurance covers accidents or injuries that may occur on the agency's premises. Workers' compensation insurance is necessary to provide coverage for employees who may suffer work-related injuries. By obtaining the appropriate insurance policies, healthcare staffing agencies can mitigate financial risks and ensure the safety and well-being of their staff and clients.

Developing a Business Plan

Identifying target market and niche

Identifying the target market and niche is a crucial step in launching a successful healthcare staffing business in Wyoming. One key aspect to consider is finding group homes, which can be a profitable niche in the healthcare staffing industry. Group homes provide specialized care and support to individuals with specific needs, such as the elderly or individuals with disabilities. By catering to this niche, healthcare staffing businesses can establish themselves as experts in providing staffing solutions for group homes. This can be achieved by recruiting and training healthcare professionals who have experience in working with these populations. Additionally, developing strong relationships with group home owners and administrators can help healthcare staffing businesses gain a competitive edge in the market. By understanding the unique staffing requirements of group homes and tailoring their services to meet these needs, healthcare staffing businesses can position themselves as valuable partners in the healthcare industry.

Creating a competitive pricing strategy

Creating a competitive pricing strategy is crucial for launching a successful healthcare staffing business in Wyoming. In order to navigate the frontier state, it is important to carefully consider the pricing of your services. By analyzing the market and understanding the needs of healthcare facilities in Wyoming, you can develop a pricing strategy that sets you apart from your competitors. This strategy should take into account factors such as the cost of recruiting and training healthcare professionals, as well as the average rates charged by other staffing agencies in the state. By offering competitive prices while maintaining high-quality services, you can attract clients and establish your business as a trusted provider in the healthcare staffing industry.

Establishing partnerships with healthcare facilities

Establishing partnerships with healthcare facilities is a crucial step in launching a successful healthcare staffing business in Wyoming. By forging strong relationships with hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare providers, you can ensure a steady stream of job opportunities for your staffing agency. It is important to approach potential partners with professionalism and a clear understanding of their needs. Demonstrating your expertise in healthcare staffing and highlighting the benefits of partnering with your agency will help build trust and credibility. Additionally, offering competitive rates, flexible staffing solutions, and excellent customer service can set your business apart from competitors. Building partnerships in the healthcare industry requires persistence, networking, and a commitment to delivering high-quality staffing services.

Recruiting and Retaining Healthcare Professionals

Effective recruitment strategies for healthcare professionals

When it comes to effective recruitment strategies for healthcare professionals, a creative platform can be a game-changer. A creative platform provides innovative solutions for attracting and retaining top talent in the healthcare industry. By utilizing a creative platform, healthcare staffing businesses can showcase their unique offerings and benefits to healthcare professionals, making them stand out from the competition. This platform allows for the creation of engaging and interactive content, such as videos, infographics, and testimonials, which can be shared on various online platforms and social media channels. These creative elements not only capture the attention of healthcare professionals but also provide them with valuable information about the healthcare staffing business. By leveraging a creative platform, healthcare staffing businesses in Wyoming can effectively reach and engage with healthcare professionals, ultimately leading to successful recruitment outcomes.

Building a strong employer brand

Building a strong employer brand is crucial for the success of any business, especially in the competitive healthcare staffing industry. It requires careful self-reflection for entrepreneurs to understand their unique value proposition and effectively communicate it to potential candidates. By investing time and effort into developing a strong employer brand, healthcare staffing businesses in Wyoming can attract top talent and differentiate themselves from their competitors. A strong employer brand not only helps in attracting skilled professionals but also fosters a positive work culture and improves employee retention. It is essential for entrepreneurs to prioritize building a strong employer brand as it directly impacts the long-term success and growth of their healthcare staffing business.

Implementing retention programs and incentives

Implementing retention programs and incentives is crucial for the success of a healthcare staffing business in Wyoming. With a shortage of healthcare professionals in the state, it is essential to create a work environment that encourages employee loyalty and reduces turnover. One effective strategy is to develop a comprehensive retention program that includes competitive salaries, benefits packages, and opportunities for professional growth. Additionally, offering incentives such as performance bonuses, flexible schedules, and recognition programs can further motivate and engage employees. By investing in retention programs and incentives, healthcare staffing businesses can attract and retain top talent, ensuring the delivery of high-quality healthcare services to the communities they serve.

Marketing and Promoting Your Healthcare Staffing Business

Creating a professional website and online presence

Creating a professional website and online presence is crucial for any healthcare staffing business looking to succeed in today's digital age. A well-designed and user-friendly website not only showcases the services and expertise of the business but also establishes credibility and trust with potential clients. Additionally, having a strong online presence through social media platforms and online directories allows the business to reach a wider audience and attract more qualified candidates. By investing in a professional website and maintaining an active online presence, healthcare staffing businesses in Wyoming can effectively navigate the frontier state and position themselves as industry leaders.

Utilizing social media and digital marketing

Utilizing social media and digital marketing is essential for the success of any business in today's digital age.

By leveraging platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, healthcare staffing businesses can connect with potential clients and candidates, share valuable industry insights, and promote their services effectively. Additionally, implementing targeted digital marketing campaigns can help healthcare staffing businesses stand out from the competition and attract the attention of corporate companies in Wyoming that may be losing money and in need of staffing solutions. By utilizing social media and digital marketing, healthcare staffing businesses can establish themselves as industry leaders and gain a competitive edge in the challenging frontier state of Wyoming.

Networking and building relationships with healthcare professionals and facilities

Networking and building relationships with healthcare professionals and facilities is crucial for the success of your healthcare staffing business in Wyoming. One effective strategy is to focus on email personalization. By customizing your emails to address the specific needs and interests of healthcare professionals and facilities, you can establish a deeper connection and increase the likelihood of building long-term partnerships. Email personalization allows you to tailor your communication to each recipient, highlighting the value your staffing services can provide. Additionally, it enables you to showcase your expertise and demonstrate your commitment to meeting the unique staffing challenges faced by healthcare professionals and facilities in Wyoming.

2024.05.15 00:12 mellowparasites Entered my poem in a local poetry contest, I feel like the winning poem isn’t as good as mine. Am i being insane?

Whatever just what the title says, I feel like the winning poem is so elementary. All my writer friends agree with me, am I ridiculous for being butthurt about this? Looking for genuine honest feedback, tyia
(The winning poem)
how can you regret something you miss? i walked through the red door the air felt nice there in the early fall it wasn't cold enough for the heaters yet so they left the red door open and we all enjoyed the breeze in that moment it felt like bliss but i knew that would soon dissipate every time i walked through that door, disaster struck hurricanes, tornadoes, wars, mass murder but i was addicted to the rush of it all sitting in that booth, shaking waiting for something to strike not knowing when to expect it, or even what it might be how can you regret something you miss? if i had never walked hrough that red door none of this mess would have happened we wouldnt be standing here today with aches in our bones and scars on our souls is it my fault- no, not just me we all played a part in this cataclysm we all set foot through that glorous red door not to sound as though i blame it, the door didnt hurt us, we did we all poked and prodded bit and bruised how can you regret something you miss? i wish i could go back to the time of adams and eves, witches and thives, planting bliss, every unexpected kiss, i long for it, but how can you regret something you miss? we didn't know what we were doing the memories through the whirlpool screaming "we were just kids" how could we have known better? some of us, maybe there are things we don't speak of anymore the things we dont just regret, but banish from our minds to protect ourselves from everlasting suffering but if none of this had ever taken place we likely wouldn't have avoided catastrophe altogether, just these particular ones maybe were better for it, hope they can all be better especially the most demonic of them i hope we all made it mean something
(My poem)
The Love Goes In and Out
the soul doesn’t falter so tell me which of us is the liar? which of us is the seer? which of us is the chosen one? is it you, or me?
there are too many complicated conversations we shouldn’t be having and yet we are still here still with locked eyes still engineered towards the setting sun you can’t eat the bread and drink the wine at the same time you can’t consume everything you love and try to make something of the bones afterward; that is not your job
it never will be and yet your table is full of pigeons trying to bridge the gap you can’t consecrate the things you love and expect the same results you can’t expect anything this is war, this is the opposition of reason
therefore one day the sun will burn out and everything you love will die no one tells you this and yet it still grazes your skin every day all the same
so tell me whose paintbrush was it again, whose strokes are you looking at? god’s paintbrush, whose sun was it again your sun, my sun, little sun, big sun this world is so hot it keeps getting hotter every day and yet everything keeps being reborn and we are still here, all the same is it you, or me?
