hello fun 2ourdust albany things (note i typed this at like 4:30 am last night when i simply couldn't sleep but then passed out before i could post it so it may not be the most coherent)

- pete talking about upstate being special 2 him due to memories of taking a bus to a tattoo parlor in syracuse and feeling inspired by all these cool achc dudes... god i love hardcore scene lore fob stuff ESPECIALLY when upstate gets brought into it

- reinventing the wheel for the first time in apparently seventeen YEARS (i take full responsibility for making this happen due to my showing up in my tttyg crewneck /s)

- andy waved to us!! long story short about 30 of us were waiting by the wrong buses sadly & just barely missed pete & patrick meeting folks by the right ones. we were pretty heartbroken when we came over & found out, but a combination of the andy thing & meeting/trading bracelets/caroling along to folie songs (if ya know ya know) with cool folks turned waiting after the show into a fond memory regardless. i love the fob community, dude. t/2ourdust has changed everything for me.

and still i just find it worth noting how sick it is that this tour pete & patrick have been taking the time to come out & talk w folks. you don't see that much with bands playing arena shows and it makes me happy to see.

- lots of celebration for the smfs anniversary!

muse live (shit is INCREDIBLE live dude), kintsugi & what a time to be alive for medley, lil pete speech about the record.

- ginasfs instead of sixteen candles as a wild card again!!! i cannot believe i have heard her three times now when if you asked me two years ago i never would have thought i'd hear her once!

- smfs is definitely a worthy replacememt for srar in every sense. i appreciate both similarly, and i love that they recall tourdust's srar performance in the sense of it serving as a great medley transition, also in regard a to collaboration (everyone joining in to sing at the end, in this case joe especially)

- that reminds me, it seemed like pete did a lot of backing vox tonight which was nice

- i may only really know a handful of jimmy songs well but great band and jim adkins is one of those people that just seems nice. i like watching the dude do his thing.

- seeing hot mully in an arena was crazy. was pretty sad they cut featuring mark hoppus but still was nice 2 see them

- i remain wholly not a fan of seated shows, at least not for this kinda music, that did get me down at a couple points as i just can't move the way i wanna (not being able to mosh to cbts etc like at tourdust sucked, as well as just being confined to my seat/row all night) & also it seems to keep the crowd in general way more stagnant.

but at least i could see well + no one around me was particularly disrespectful!!

i also respect fob's ability to make a concert at an arena like this still feel like a SHOW (in the scene sense)

- and finally, have nightmare quality pete randomly crawling inside the inflatable dog (i am currently forgetting dude's name)

The Witcher Headcanon - Purring Bonus Scene - Part 1

Just a quick note. I've had a few friends politely point out that I don’t need to censor cuss words. I'm glad that y'all are being helpful and looking out for everyone! Good for you for being kind and thoughtful!

I am aware that censoring is unnecessary, but I have a few reasons why I do:

1. I know there are minors on this site, and they might not be comfortable with cuss words, or maybe someone sees cuss words as NSFW.

2. It's a personal preference. I don't use that type of language IRL. I don't have a problem with other people using it, I just never really liked the way those words "tasted"(It's hard to explain 😅 ), but I want the characters to sound like themselves as much as possible, so censoring is a compromise.

3. It's...funny. For some reason reading a censored word makes it funny to me. Maybe because I hear a "beep", or the dolphin noise from that one SpongeBob episode. I don't know. There's just something about asterisks that makes it funny. I know, I'm weird!

Anyway, enjoy the bonus scene!

Jaskier had fancied himself somewhat of an expert on Witchers after those first few years of travelling with Geralt. He had learned so much about them and had used his power as a bard to change things for them. Thanks to his songs, his stories, and his poetry, people were starting to see Witchers as they really were: Friend Shaped.

He thought he knew everything there was to know about Witchers, but he made an interesting discovery one evening. Something about Witchers that had never been mentioned in the lore, and that no one had ever spoken of.

Geralt had been exhausted when he returned to the inn after dealing with a local monster problem. He had come through with only a few minor scrapes and bruises this time.

The innkeeper had happily given him a tankard of ale and a hot meal while Jaskier entertained the other guests with songs, news, and the latest court gossip. When Geralt was finished with his meal, the innkeeper's wife had a bath sent up to his room, along with fresh linens and extra firewood.

Geralt had been boiling himself in the bath, letting the heat draw out the achces and pains of sore muscles and old injuries, when it happened.

The fire was crackling quietly infront of him. Jaskier was scribbling down ideas for a new song and quietly filling Geralt in on the town gossip. He felt so warm and relaxed. He leaned his head back and...

Jaskier looked up from his writing as he heard Geralt start making a noise. At first he thought it was a 'hmm', or an irritated growl. Geralt was tired, after all, and not very social. He was probably getting tired of the chatter.

But the sound didn't stop like he expected a growl or 'hmm' to. It kept going. It was a soft, undulating sound. Like a gentle bubbling hum. It sounded like a...

Holy f**k! Geralt was purring!

Geralt heard Jaskier's heart suddenly start beating a little faster, and smelled the change in his scent. Surprise/interest/curiosity

Geralt realized he was purring, and immediately stopped, sitting up with an irritated grumble to hide his embarrassment. He hoped like h*ll that the bard somehow hadn't heard.

"Geralt, were you...purring?"

Geralt froze. F**k. He'd heard. He was never going to live it down. Geralt growled at him out of reflex.

"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. I won't bring it up again."

"I was. What of it, bard?"

"Nothing," Jaskier said almost gently, as if he might scare Geralt away, "I just didn't know you could do that. I didn't mean anything by it. I was just curious if it was a Geralt Thing, or a Witcher Thing."

Geralt side-eyed him suspiciously for a moment, trying to determine if there was any sinister movitves behind the questions. All he could sense was genuine curiosity.

Jaskier knew that Geralt was special. That he had extra mutations that other Witchers didn't have. If he wasn't sure that a behavior, attribute, ability, etc was something all Witchers had, or if it was unique to Geralt, he always asked if it was a Geralt Thing, or a Witcher Thing.

Geralt had sighed quielty and answered that it was a Witcher Thing. All Witchers did it, just not around humans. He could see the bard mentally file the information away. "No songs! I will kill you and dump your carcass in the nearest field!"

"I would never! How dare you even suggest! You wound me, sir! My poor heart is broken! Broken!"

Geralt had rolled his eyes at the drama.

"Listen, I promise I will never, ever write a song about you or any other Witchers purring. Ever."

Geralt didn't seem terribly convinced. Jaskier knew it was going to take something more binding than words to convince Geralt. He was going to have to invoke the most ancient, absolute, and unbreakable ritual of deal-making.

"Geralt, I Pinky Swear!"

The Witcher regarded him silently for a moment, then nodded solemnly. Pinkies were clasped and the deal was made.

Months later, Geralt had long gotten comfortable around Jaskier, and felt safe enough with him that he could allow himself to show his vulnerable side.

Jaskier regularly found himself sitting by their campfire, working on his songs, or falling asleep to the sound of Geralt's purring. He noted that like a cat, when Geralt got comfortable or relaxed enough, he would start to Happy Purr. He'd purr as Jaskier helped work the stiffness out of a sore muscle, or a knot out of his back, or when he'd get all warm and toasty under his blankets when they stayed at an inn.

And when he scratched his chin or cheeks.

Finding out that Witchers loved chin and cheek skritches had been the highlight of Jaskier's day.

Geralt had been grumbling about something or other, like he usually did when he was over-tired and couldn't sleep. Jaskier had sat next to him, and as a joke, started scratching his cheeks.

Geralt had stopped talking, mid-grumble, and his pupils had dilated. He'd visibly relaxed, eyes glazing over, and he'd started purring loudly as Jaskier's fingers scratched through the short stubble on his cheeks. "B**tard..." he'd mumbled almost drunkenly.

Jaskier's fingers faltered in their scratching, He was suddenly worried he'd gone too far with the joke. But Geralt had only leaned into his hands and slurred "I didn' say to stop..." Jaskier smiled to himself and resumed the skritches.

Geralt's eyes had closed and he started purring louder. He started leaning a little harder on Jaskier, starting to fall asleep when the bard started scratching his chin.

Jaskier stopped after a few more moments, not wanting to push his luck, and Geralt had glared at him sleepily. The Witcher looked p*ssed, but Jaskier could tell that he was actually embarrassed that he had almost been put down for a nap by cheek scritches.

"If you ever do that to me in public, or where anyone might see it, I will beat your a**!"

Jaskier had nodded to show that he'd understood. He smiled to himself as Geralt had rolled himself up in his blanket like an angry toddler to hide from Jaskier's knowing smile.

Geralt got a certain amount of smug satisfaction that winter, when Jaskier made it his personal mission to scratch the cheeks and chins of every Witcher at Kaer Morhen. The feral bard somehow survived, and by the end of the first month, Geralt's brothers were arguing over whose turn it was to get cheek or chin scritches.

And once Jaskier started really paying attention to Geralt's purring, he started to notice that he had other types of purrs...

Which Home Health Aide Programs Close to Me Offer the Best Training?

Finding the right Home Health Aide (HHA) program close to you is essential for starting a rewarding career in healthcare. With various options available, it can be challenging to determine which programs offer the best training. Here’s a guide to help you identify high-quality HHA programs near you.

1. Accreditation and Certification

One of the most critical factors to consider is accreditation. Accredited programs meet specific standards set by industry organizations, ensuring the education you receive is recognized and respected. Look for programs accredited by agencies such as the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) or the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP). Accreditation often indicates that the program has met rigorous quality standards and will provide you with the foundational knowledge and skills needed to succeed as an HHA.

2. Curriculum and Hands-On Training

Find Hha Training Near Me

A well-rounded HHA program should offer a comprehensive curriculum that covers essential topics such as patient care, infection control, first aid, and medical terminology. Additionally, hands-on training is crucial for gaining practical experience. Ensure the program includes clinical hours or externships where you can apply your skills in real-world settings under the guidance of experienced professionals. This practical experience is invaluable for developing the competencies required for effective patient care.

3. Instructor Qualifications

The expertise of the instructors can significantly impact the quality of your education. Research the qualifications and backgrounds of the faculty members at the schools you’re considering. Instructors with extensive experience in home health care and relevant certifications can provide valuable insights and practical knowledge. Their expertise can enhance your learning experience and better prepare you for the challenges of the field.

4. Program Flexibility and Duration

Consider the length of the program and its flexibility. Some HHA programs offer full-time schedules, while others provide part-time or evening classes to accommodate working students. Evaluate how the program’s schedule fits with your personal and professional commitments. A flexible program that allows you to balance your studies with other responsibilities can be beneficial if you have other obligations.

5. Cost and Financial Aid

Get Cna Program Fairfield Near Ca

Understand the cost of the program and what is included in the tuition. Some programs may offer additional resources such as textbooks, uniforms, or certification exam preparation. Explore financial aid options, including scholarships, grants, and payment plans, to make the program more affordable. Contact the school’s financial aid office to discuss your options and determine what financial support you may be eligible for.

6. Reputation and Reviews

Research the reputation of the programs you are considering. Online reviews from current and former students can provide insights into their experiences and the overall quality of the program. Additionally, reach out to local healthcare providers or home health agencies for their recommendations. A strong reputation and positive feedback from the community can be indicators of a program’s quality.

7. Job Placement and Support Services

Investigate the school’s job placement rate and career support services. A high-quality program should offer assistance with job placement and provide resources to help you secure a position after graduation. Ask about the school’s connections with local home health agencies and whether they offer job fairs or networking opportunities. Effective career support can make a significant difference in your job search and overall career success.

Choosing the right Home Health Aide program involves evaluating accreditation, curriculum, instructor qualifications, program flexibility, cost, reputation, and job placement support. By carefully considering these factors, you can select a program that offers the best training and sets you on the path to a successful career in home health care.

ACverse thoughts of the day: historians if the Assassin-Templar War was common knowledge

literally the most boring topic of study, you show up with a thesis around them, and your teachers roll their eyes so hard they can see their own brains;

"Please, this is a serious institution, do reconsider your topic of study to something more... engaging."

nobody takes them seriously, because primary sources are so bountiful, it's almost embarrassing;

the most intriguing study about the war is the overall lack of splinter factions and infighting;

there are furious debates and speculation on what surely were related factions being assimilated into larger non-related factions, and how the Assassin-Templar dichotomy spread;

many historians look into the records left by both orders to fill in the gaps in their own research;

Abstergo has research fund grants that many try to apply for, and it helps them keep their fingers in any papers being published to tuck away any compromising information;

Abstego being related to the Templars and their very fucked up deeds is fairly well-known, but nobody can do anything about it. think Shell and ExxonMobil bullshit;

some whistleblowers crop up now and again but after the initial outage, not much comes of it. maybe a scapegoat or two get arrested but that's that;

there are conspiracy theorists who think the Assassin-Templar conflict is a hoax, everybody hates them;

historians adore the assassins because 1. they are terrible gossips and 2. they FUCK, and they write a lot, so it's free insider knowledge

The Vital Role of a Certified Home Health Care Consultant: Ensuring Quality Care and Accreditation

As a certified home health care consultant, I play a pivotal role in ensuring that home health care agencies provide high-quality care to their patients while adhering to industry standards and regulations. In an ever-evolving healthcare landscape, these consultants serve as invaluable resources, bridging the gap between regulatory requirements and the practical implementation of best practices.

Our expertise lies in navigating the intricate web of accreditation processes, quality assurance measures, and compliance protocols. We work closely with home health care agencies to assess their current operations, identify areas for improvement, and develop tailored strategies to enhance the overall quality of care.

By leveraging our extensive knowledge and experience, we empower agencies to achieve their goals, maintain accreditation, and ultimately, deliver exceptional care to their patients.

The importance of quality care in home health care agencies

Quality care is the cornerstone of any successful home health care agency. It not only ensures the well-being of patients but also contributes to the agency's reputation, patient satisfaction, and long-term sustainability. However, maintaining high standards of care can be a daunting task, especially in the face of ever-changing regulations and industry best practices.

Home health care agencies must navigate a complex web of guidelines, policies, and protocols to ensure compliance and deliver consistent, high-quality care. Failure to adhere to these standards can result in regulatory penalties, loss of accreditation, and, most importantly, compromised patient outcomes.

By prioritizing quality care, home health care agencies can:

Enhance patient satisfaction and trust

Improve clinical outcomes and patient safety

Foster a culture of continuous improvement

Maintain accreditation and regulatory compliance

Strengthen their reputation and competitive edge

In an industry where patient well-being is paramount, the importance of quality care cannot be overstated. It is a fundamental responsibility that home health care agencies must embrace wholeheartedly.

Understanding the accreditation process for home health care agencies

Accreditation is a crucial aspect of the home health care industry, serving as a benchmark for quality care and operational excellence. The accreditation process is a rigorous evaluation conducted by recognized accrediting bodies, such as the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) or the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC).

During the accreditation process, home health care agencies undergo a comprehensive review of their policies, procedures, and practices. Accrediting bodies assess various aspects, including:

Patient care processes and clinical outcomes

Infection control and safety protocols

Staff qualifications and training

Organizational structure and leadership

Quality improvement initiatives

Compliance with regulatory requirements

Achieving and maintaining accreditation is a significant undertaking that requires meticulous preparation, documentation, and adherence to stringent standards. Home health care agencies must consistently demonstrate their commitment to providing safe, effective, and patient-centered care.

The accreditation process not only validates an agency's commitment to quality but also instills confidence in patients, families, and healthcare partners. It serves as a seal of approval, indicating that the agency meets or exceeds industry standards and is dedicated to continuous improvement.

How a certified home health care consultant can help with accreditation preparation

Navigating the intricate accreditation process can be a daunting task for home health care agencies, especially when balancing the demands of day-to-day operations and patient care. This is where the expertise of a certified home health care consultant becomes invaluable.

As a seasoned professional in the field, I possess a deep understanding of the accreditation requirements and the nuances of the process. My role as a consultant is to guide agencies through every step, ensuring a smooth and successful accreditation journey.

Here are some of the ways I can assist with accreditation preparation:

Conducting comprehensive assessments: I begin by thoroughly evaluating the agency's current policies, procedures, and practices. This assessment identifies areas of strength and opportunities for improvement, allowing for a tailored approach to accreditation preparation.

Developing an accreditation roadmap: Based on the assessment findings, I create a detailed roadmap that outlines the specific steps and timelines for achieving accreditation. This roadmap serves as a blueprint, ensuring that no aspect of the process is overlooked.

Implementing best practices: Drawing from my extensive industry knowledge and experience, I provide guidance on implementing best practices in various areas, such as patient care, documentation, staff training, and quality improvement initiatives.

Mock surveys and readiness assessments: To prepare agencies for the actual accreditation survey, I conduct mock surveys and readiness assessments. These simulations help identify any remaining gaps and provide opportunities for staff training and process refinement.

Documentation review and preparation: Accurate and comprehensive documentation is crucial for accreditation success. I review and assist in the preparation of necessary documentation, ensuring compliance with accreditation standards and regulatory requirements.

Ongoing support and guidance: Throughout the accreditation process, I remain a dedicated partner, providing ongoing support, guidance, and expertise to address any challenges or concerns that may arise.

By leveraging the specialized knowledge and experience of a certified home health care consultant, agencies can navigate the accreditation process with confidence, minimizing stress and maximizing their chances of success.

Roles and responsibilities of a certified home health care consultant

As a certified home health care consultant, my roles and responsibilities extend beyond merely assisting with accreditation preparation. I am a trusted advisor, a problem-solver, and a catalyst for continuous improvement within the home health care industry.

Regulatory compliance expert: Staying up-to-date with the ever-changing regulatory landscape is a critical aspect of my role. I ensure that home health care agencies are aware of and compliant with all relevant federal, state, and local regulations, guidelines, and industry standards.

Quality assurance and performance improvement: I work closely with agencies to develop and implement comprehensive quality assurance and performance improvement programs. These programs are designed to identify areas for improvement, implement corrective actions, and foster a culture of continuous quality enhancement.

Staff training and development: Providing high-quality care relies heavily on a skilled and knowledgeable workforce. I collaborate with agencies to develop and deliver customized training programs for staff members, ensuring they are equipped with the latest knowledge, skills, and best practices in home health care.

Risk management and patient safety: Patient safety is of utmost importance in the home health care setting. I assist agencies in identifying and mitigating potential risks, implementing effective safety protocols, and fostering a culture of patient-centered care.

Operational efficiency and process optimization: By conducting comprehensive operational assessments, I identify opportunities for streamlining processes, enhancing efficiency, and optimizing resource utilization within home health care agencies.

Strategic planning and growth: As a strategic partner, I help agencies develop long-term plans for growth and expansion while maintaining a strong focus on quality care and regulatory compliance.

Accreditation and certification guidance: While accreditation preparation is a core responsibility, I also provide guidance and support for various other certifications and accreditations relevant to the home health care industry.

Advocacy and industry representation: I actively participate in industry forums, associations, and advocacy groups, ensuring that the voices and concerns of home health care agencies are represented and addressed at a broader level.

By assuming these diverse roles and responsibilities, I strive to be a trusted partner, empowering home health care agencies to achieve excellence in patient care, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance.

Benefits of hiring a certified home health care consultant

Partnering with a certified home health care consultant offers numerous benefits that can significantly impact the success and sustainability of a home health care agency. Here are some of the key advantages:

Expertise and industry knowledge: Certified consultants bring a wealth of expertise and industry knowledge to the table. We possess a deep understanding of regulations, accreditation standards, best practices, and the latest trends in home health care. This expertise ensures that agencies receive guidance rooted in real-world experience and proven strategies.

Objectivity and fresh perspectives: As independent consultants, we offer an objective and unbiased perspective on an agency's operations. We can identify areas for improvement that may be overlooked by those immersed in day-to-day operations, providing fresh insights and innovative solutions.

Time and resource efficiency: Preparing for accreditation and implementing quality improvement initiatives can be time-consuming and resource-intensive for home health care agencies.

What to Look for in an Oxygen Cylinder Rental Service

Renting an oxygen cylinder can be crucial for individuals needing supplemental oxygen for medical reasons. Whether for short-term use after surgery, for managing a chronic condition, or for travel purposes, finding a reliable oxygen cylinder for rent service is essential for ensuring consistent and safe oxygen supply. With many rental services available, knowing what to look for is important to make an informed decision. This article will guide you through the key factors to consider when choosing an oxygen cylinder rental service.

1. Reputation and Reviews

The reputation of a rental service is a strong indicator of its reliability and customer satisfaction. Start by researching rental companies online and reading customer reviews. Look for testimonials on the company's website and third-party review platforms. Pay attention to comments about the quality of the equipment, delivery punctuality, customer service, and overall user experience. A company with consistently positive feedback is likely to provide dependable service.

2. Accreditation and Certification

Ensure that the rental service is accredited and certified by relevant health organizations. Accreditation from bodies such as The Joint Commission or the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) indicates that the company adheres to high standards of safety and quality. Certified companies are more likely to provide well-maintained and reliable equipment.

3. Range of Equipment

A good rental service should offer a variety of oxygen cylinders to meet different needs. This includes different sizes and types of cylinders, as well as accessories such as regulators, flow meters, and oxygen masks or nasal cannulas. Having a range of options ensures that you can find the equipment that best suits your medical requirements and lifestyle.

4. Quality and Maintenance

The quality and maintenance of the oxygen cylinders are critical for ensuring safety and efficacy. Inquire about the company’s maintenance protocols. The rental service should regularly inspect and sanitize the equipment, replacing any worn or damaged parts. Well-maintained cylinders are less likely to malfunction and can provide a consistent flow of oxygen.

5. Delivery and Setup

Timely delivery and proper setup are essential when renting an oxygen cylinder. Choose a company that offers prompt delivery services and professional setup. The delivery personnel should be knowledgeable and able to demonstrate how to use the equipment correctly. They should also provide instructions on safety precautions and basic troubleshooting.

6. Customer Support

Responsive and knowledgeable customer support is vital. In case of any issues with the equipment or if you have questions, the rental service should be easily reachable. Look for companies that offer 24/7 customer support, especially if you require oxygen therapy continuously. Good customer support can quickly address problems and provide peace of mind.

7. Flexibility and Rental Terms

Review the rental terms carefully. Understand the minimum rental period, payment options, and policies for extending or terminating the rental agreement. Some companies offer flexible rental terms, including short-term and long-term rentals, as well as options to switch equipment if your needs change. Clear and fair rental terms will make the process smoother and avoid unexpected costs.

8. Insurance and Payment Options

Check if the rental service accepts insurance and if your health insurance covers the cost of renting an oxygen cylinder. Some insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, may cover part or all of the rental expenses for medically necessary equipment. Also, consider the payment options available, such as credit cards, direct billing, or payment plans. Knowing your financial options can help manage the cost effectively.

9. Training and Education

Proper training on using the oxygen cylinder is crucial for safety and effectiveness. The rental service should offer comprehensive training on how to operate the equipment, adjust the flow rate, and recognize potential issues. They should also provide educational materials, such as manuals and instructional videos, to ensure you are comfortable using the equipment.

10. Emergency Services

Inquire about the company’s emergency services. Oxygen therapy is critical, and any interruption can be dangerous. Ensure the rental service provides emergency support, including rapid replacement of faulty equipment and emergency delivery of additional supplies if needed. Knowing that you can rely on the company in emergencies is reassuring.

11. Trial Period and Satisfaction Guarantee

Some rental services offer a trial period or a satisfaction guarantee. This allows you to test the equipment and ensure it meets your needs. If you’re not satisfied, you can return or exchange the equipment within a specified period. A trial period can help you make an informed decision without the risk of being stuck with unsuitable equipment.

12. Cost Transparency

Transparent pricing is essential to avoid hidden fees and unexpected charges. The rental service should provide a clear breakdown of costs, including rental fees, delivery charges, setup fees, and maintenance costs. Understanding the total cost upfront helps you budget accordingly and prevents financial surprises.

Conclusion

Choosing the right oxygen cylinder rental service is crucial for ensuring reliable and safe oxygen therapy. By considering factors such as reputation, accreditation, equipment quality, customer support, and flexible rental terms, you can find a rental service that meets your needs and provides peace of mind. Thorough research and careful evaluation of potential rental companies will help you secure the best service and improve your health and well-being.
