The Importance of Respiratory CEUs in Modern Healthcare

The healthcare industry undergoes continuous evolution, driven by new research, technological advancements, and changing patient needs. Consequently, respiratory therapists must continually update their knowledge and skills to provide optimal care. Earning respiratory CEUs (Continuing Education Units) is crucial for staying abreast of the latest developments and maintaining professional competence.

Enhancing Patient Care

Foremost, respiratory CEUs play a pivotal role in enhancing patient care. Respiratory therapists gain exposure to cutting-edge techniques, treatment protocols, and best practices by attending educational programs. Furthermore, they learn about new medications, equipment, and therapeutic approaches tailored to specific respiratory conditions. With this up-to-date knowledge, therapists can deliver more effective and personalized care, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Regulatory Compliance

Moreover, earning CEUs is often a regulatory requirement for maintaining licensure and certifications. Healthcare facilities and governing bodies mandate ongoing education to ensure healthcare professionals meet established standards and provide safe, high-quality care. Failure to comply with CEU requirements can result in license suspension or revocation, jeopardizing a therapist's ability to practice.

Professional Development

In addition to maintaining compliance, CEUs foster professional development and career advancement. By expanding their knowledge base, therapists gain valuable insights into emerging trends, specialized areas, and advanced practices within the field. Consequently, they become better equipped to take on leadership roles, pursue specialized certifications, or explore new career opportunities in respiratory therapy.

Lifelong Learning

Importantly, the pursuit of the CEUs for respiratory instills a mindset of lifelong learning. The healthcare field is dynamic, and respiratory therapists must embrace continuous education to stay relevant and effective. By regularly attending educational programs, therapists cultivate a habit of self-improvement and intellectual curiosity, enabling them to provide the highest level of care throughout their careers.

Arthur has a parrot that tells him random facts.

It's a magical parrot that he was gifted by some random traveler who owned a dozen magical objects and animals that he was selling for low prices.

So far, the hide and seek rabbits are a hit with the town children and the parents love the wooden unicorn ovens.

Arthur, as King, was now given the parrot and he has no clue what to do with it (he can't even feed it. The thing eats knowledge by reading).

Arthur: what do I do with you

Parrot: It will be a dry season! -aarc!- prepare for draught!!!

Arthur: ... Alright, that's useful

Parrot: Emrys is a bird. -arc- Emrys is a bird!!!

Arthur: what?

The 2024 American Electorate Voter Poll, conducted by the African American Research Collaborative (AARC) and BSP Research, has a nationally representative sample of Native American voters (n=500) that ensures Native American voters’ voices are included in the discussion of this historic election. This oversample was supported by First Nations Development Institute and is designed to be representative of the Native American electorate. This post summarizes the main findings from the poll regarding Native American voters.  

Native American voters continued to be consequential across the presidential election and several other races this cycle. Both presidential candidates targeted Native American voters in crucial battleground states, including Arizona, North Carolina, Michigan, and Nevada.  

Despite the continued importance of the Native American vote, Native American voters remained largely absent in preelection discussions by election experts and pundits due to nearly no credible data available about this electorate. Furthermore, the available data on Native American voters was often flawed, leading to dangerous conclusions about the Native American vote. This includes the National Exit Poll conducted by Edison Research, which suggested that 65% percent of Native Americans voted for Republican candidates based on a small and non-representative sample of Native American voters that did not include interviewing locations on any tribal lands across the country.  

The national media’s heavy reliance on this questionable poll is misleading, as its depiction of support for Trump among Native Americans deviates from past patterns and has drawn significant criticism from tribal communities nationwide.

This poll provides a fresh perspective to the discussion of Native American voters in the 2024 election. The 2024 American Electorate Voter Poll addresses the challenge of inaccurate data on Native American voters by including a nationally representative sample of Native American voters within a broader national voter sample. This enables comparisons of their voting behavior with that of other racial and ethnic groups. Similar to other surveys, AARC and BSP Research have conducted surveys among Native Americans nationally, and the survey relies on a self-identified/opt-in sampling design.  

However, the survey took important steps to ensure that the data was representative of Native American voters. This included screening out potential respondents whose connection to their Native American ancestry was only through a distant relative, ensuring that the study was not limited to Native Americans who live in urban areas, and incorporating respondents who have some connection to their tribe’s native language. In fact, 21% of self-identified Native American respondents in the sample reported that they live on a reservation/tribal lands and another 37% near a reservation/tribal lands. Native Americans who live on tribal lands face challenges accessing the ballot box that could impact how they view electoral politics and policies aimed at improving voting access. Similarly, 43% of respondents reported that they speak a Native American language in their home. This is another critical consideration when designing survey samples, as language plays a key role in shaping ethnic identity and community connections, and language rights are safeguarded by the Voting Rights Act.

The poll’s researchers believe strongly that pollsters should take similar steps to collect and report out important demographics for Native American respondents as this leads to more reliable and representative data. Consequently, this summary of the national Native American voting data provides a much more balanced discussion of how and why Native American voters participated in the 2024 election.  

Native American voters favored Harris and Democrats over Trump and Republicans  

As reflected in the figure below, 57% of Native American voters supported Vice President Harris in the presidential race in 2024, compared to 39% who supported President-elect Trump. Another 4% of respondents cast their ballot for another candidate. Results from the survey across all racial groups indicate that Native American voters were more likely to vote for Trump than Black, Asian American, or Latino voters. However, they were +17% more likely to vote for Harris than white voters. 

One of the major themes of the post-election analysis has been the apparent improvement for Trump and Republicans among men of color. As reflected in the figure below, there was a significant gender difference among Native American voters in 2024, with a 13% difference between Native American men and women—63% of Native American women reported voting for Harris compared to 50% of Native American men. This indicates that Democrats should include Native American men in their post-election discussions on strategies to strengthen their support among all men of color, including Native American men. There was also a small difference in voting behavior based on age. Native American voters under the age of 40 were more likely to vote for Vice President Harris than those over the age of 40.

Incorporating demographic questions specific to tribal communities is crucial for understanding Native American voting patterns and policy discussions. There is a notable difference in voting behavior among Native Americans based on their connection to their tribe’s Native language. Among respondents who speak a Native language at home, 63% reported voting for Harris, compared to 52% of those who do not speak a Native language at home.

Native American voters were also more likely to vote for a Democrat in their congressional races across the country, with 57% indicating they voted for a Democrat compared to 38% who cast their ballot for a Republican congressional candidate. This is slightly higher than in 2022, when 56% of Native Americans reported that they voted for a Democrat compared to 40% who voted for Republican candidates, according to the AARC/BSP Research 2022 Election Eve Poll.  

The policy agenda of the Native American electorate   

The Election Poll included two policy questions that were asked only of Native American respondents. This included if respondents consider tribal issues when voting. Nearly eight in 10 (78%) Native American respondents said that they did consider tribal issues when they voted in the 2024 national election. Native American respondents who live on or near a reservation were 10% more likely to report that they considered tribal issues when they voted compared to those who do not live on or near a reservation—82% to 72%. 

Respondents who said that they do consider tribal issues when they vote were asked to identify the issues that were most important to them when they voted. As reflected in the figure below, tribal sovereignty/right to govern and land rights are the most salient tribal issues that influenced Native Americans voting behavior in 2024 at 58% and 59% respectively. These were followed by preserving culture and language, highlighted by 49% of respondents. Economic development ranked next at 40%, with the preservation of Native American history identified by 31%. Environmental concerns rounded out the top priorities at 30%.

The poll also included several items on climate change and energy policy. Native Americans are supportive of expanding the nation’s investment in clean energy, as well as protecting families against the negative impacts of climate change: 

Eighty-nine percent support providing more resources to protect families against the impacts of climate change and to prepare for and recover from future hurricanes, wildfires, extreme heat, and other climate disasters.

Eighty-eight percent support expanding clean energy investments to create more manufacturing jobs in the U.S.  

Eighty-seven percent support expanding clean energy investments to lower electricity bills and energy costs.

Respondents were also asked to identify the most important issues that they want Congress and the president to address. The state of the economy, including jobs and inflation, were top concerns for Native American voters, which was similar to the electorate overall, and Native Americans support policy reforms that will address these concerns. One of the leading federal policy priorities for Native American voters was the cost of living and inflation, with 55% selecting it as one of their top three concerns for Congress and the president to address. Additionally, 88% of Native Americans expressed strong support for “a law or regulation that bans price gouging and prevents corporations from artificially raising prices.”

Jobs and the broader economy ranked as the second most frequently identified policy priority among Native Americans, cited by 31%. Housing costs and affordability followed closely at 29%. Additionally, 76% of Native Americans in the poll expressed support for a proposal to build three million new homes and provide $25,000 in down payment assistance to improve access to affordable housing.

The fourth priority among Native American voters was abortion/reproductive rights, an issue that was also a top priority for this subgroup in 2022 (24%). This issue was especially significant for Native American women, with 30% naming it a top policy priority compared to 17% of Native American men. Just under 80% of Native Americans in the poll support “a federal law to guarantee access to abortion and give women control over their own private medical decisions.” Rounding out the top five priorities, 20% of respondents highlighted the cost of health care as a key concern. On this issue, 94% of Native Americans support “allowing Medicare to negotiate lower prices on prescription drugs” to help address the rising costs of health care.

Mobilization and outreach to Native Americans in 2024 

Native Americans continue to encounter significant obstacles when exercising their right to vote. According to a recent Brennan Center report, many Native Americans live far from the nearest polling location and often lack a physical address, a requirement in some states to cast a ballot. These barriers have contributed to lower voter turnout among Native Americans in recent elections. However, the poll reveals strong support for election reform to address these issues, with 87% of Native Americans favoring the passage of a new Voting Rights Act to eliminate barriers and ensure all eligible citizens can vote.

Both the Democratic and Republican candidates in the 2024 U.S. presidential election made symbolic efforts to engage Native American voters. The Harris-Waltz campaign invested heavily in outreach, launching a $370 million ad campaign between Labor Day and Election Day that focused on key Native issues such as treaty rights and tribal sovereignty. Beyond media efforts, the campaign prioritized direct engagement, including meetings with tribal leaders and rallies held in Arizona’s Gila River Indian Community. This outreach was bolstered by President Biden’s federal apology for the U.S. government’s historical role in Native American boarding schools, delivered in the battleground state of Arizona.

In contrast, the Trump-Vance campaign concentrated on key swing states but placed less focus on direct outreach to Native American communities. The campaign received support from U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin, a member of the Cherokee Nation, who emphasized Trump’s commitment to granting federal recognition to the Lumbee Tribe—a longstanding issue for the tribe. This promise resonated with some Native American voters, particularly in the battleground state of North Carolina.

Despite these outreach efforts, when asked if anyone from a political party, campaign, or any other organization contacted them to ask them to register and/or vote in this election, 50% of Native American voters indicated that they had not been contacted by anyone in 2024. These survey results reveal that both parties can improve their outreach to tribal communities to improve contact rates for Native Americans.   

However, among those who were contacted, Native Americans were more likely to be contacted by Democrats rather than Republicans (31% to 21%). Another 10% of Native Americans reported that they were contacted by someone from a nonpartisan, civic, or other organization, and 9% reported being contacted by someone representing a ballot initiative or referendum.  

Conclusions 

The 2024 Election Eve Poll reveals that a significant majority of Native Americans continue to lean Democratic in their voting preferences. However, both major political parties have opportunities to strengthen their appeal to this critical subgroup of the national electorate, which can significantly influence election outcomes both nationally and in key states. While Native Americans share many of the same voting motivations as the broader electorate—such as concerns about inflation, jobs, health care costs, abortion, and reproductive rights—they also represent a unique and multifaceted electorate with distinct tribal-specific priorities.

The poll reveals that many Native American voters across the country prioritize issues specific to tribal communities when casting their ballots. Key concerns include tribal sovereignty, land rights, and the preservation of Native American culture, language, and history—issues that received inadequate attention from political campaigns during this election cycle. This survey sheds light on the nuanced policy attitudes and voting behaviors of the Native American electorate, a group often mischaracterized in mainstream polling. Although the poll relies on self-identified Native Americans, it incorporates measures to ensure respondents have meaningful connections to their Native ancestry, offering a more accurate depiction of Native American voter participation in the 2024 election. First Nations, AARC, and BSP Research recommend that pollsters adopt similar measures to those used in this poll and collaborate with tribal communities to enhance the relevance and accuracy of their research.

Cars Headcanon Drabbles: Doc Hudson

What follows is a summary of Doc's pre-racing life for a fanfiction I'm working on. I tried my best to work in existing canon where applicable. Enjoy!

Samuel James "Hudson" Longhauler Jr. (factory designation HH19512C308CU11211938: Cycle 9, Rotation 152, Batch 1A)--known as "Doc" Hudson to the denizens of Radiator Springs, or just "Hud" to his friends and loved ones--is a three-time, Piston Cup champion whom raced under the moniker "the Fabulous Hudson Hornet" between 1951 and 1954. He was sired by Diesel O'Twill and Annette Elizabeth Longhauler nee Glenrunner, despite the latter being married to Samuel Joseph Longhauler at the time. He was manufactured at the Hudson Motor Car Company Factory in Detroit, Michigan on 11/21/1938, and is modeled in the likeness of an Old World 1951 Hudson Hornet club coupe.

Hud grew up in Dawsonville, Georgia (a small-town northeast of Atlanta). His mother began teaching him internal combustion at four as he had a natural talent for engines, and a keen eye for catching ailments before they became big problems. His grandfather and his uncles also taught him how to make moonshine, something that he'd take advantage of when he was older.

Hud was highly intelligent…probably one of the smartest kids in town…but restless.  He would quickly master any topic that he felt was relevant to him…and then check out.  As a student, he skipped classes that didn’t interest him, and he was constantly being sent to the principal’s office for arguing with his teachers.  He loved mechanical engineering, and could spend hours tearing apart various types of engines and cadaver parts to figure out how they worked…but the chaotic environment of the garage was too overwhelming, so he began to spend more and more time causing trouble with his friends, and exploring the woods around Dawsonville. 

During Hud’s seventh-year growth spurt his adolescent two-cylinder engine grew into an in-line four capable of putting out 120 horsepower. He was in a league of his own, and he began to sneak out at night, racing the logging roads, and wreaking havoc around town.  By the time he was nine, Hud had served hundreds of hours of community service as reparations for various offenses including, but not limited to, reckless driving, petty theft, ethanol possession with intent to sell, disturbing the peace, vandalism, and trespassing.  His family tried to talk sense into him, but the only person who could seemingly get through was his mother, and even then, she could barely keep him in line.

In October of '47, he stumbled across a group of whiskey trippers hiding out in the woods north of Dawsonville. The trippers mistook Hud for a cop…and almost killed him…but he managed to convince their leader, an Oldsmobile named "Ghost," that he was just a curious kid.  They apologized, and invited him to rest at their camp…but unbeknownst to everyone, the local police and the ATF had both been tipped off about the gang's whereabouts…and were closing in. Fortunately for the trippers, Hud knew the farm and logging roads better than he knew his own family, and with his guidance, he and the the gang managed to evade the police, pausing to catch their breath well south of town.  Hud knew if he returned to Dawsonville, he’d have to explain himself to the town sheriff--who had been a part of the chase--and his family…and he couldn’t guarantee that his family’s reputation would keep him out of jail…so he decided to follow Ghost to Thomasville where he became a full member of the Still Chasers under the employ of a mechanic, and AARC team owner, named Smokey.

In May of '50, Smokey found himself in a bind when his primary driver was injured before an important race.  With all of his alts out for various reasons, Smokey was desperate, going so far as to offer a rare favor if Ghost could help him out.  Ghost volunteered Hud.  Initially, the twelve-year-old coupe was un-enthused, but Ghost persuaded him to race. Despite finishing fifth, Hud impressed Smokey so much that he offered him a spot on his team, and Hud would leave the Still Chasers so that he could spend the rest of the year training.  In 1951, Hud would go on to claim thirteen wins AND the championship title.  He would win additional champion titles in 52’ and 53’, and amass an unprecedented 65 victories through the 54’ season…though that one would be cut short by a near fatal wreck during the Fireball Beach 350.  It took a full year for Hud to get put back together, and he went back to Thomasville expecting a big welcome…but was shocked to discover that the new team owners (Smokey sold the team in 53’) had replaced Hud with a younger, faster car.

Hud’s world shattered.  He felt betrayed by Smokey, thinking that, as team 51's crew chief, he would have been part of the decision to have Hud replaced. In truth, Smokey had never been consulted and would ultimately resign from the team in protest.

Hud tried reaching out to Ghost...but it was like his friend had vanished off the face of the Earth.  He assumed that Ghost had written him off after his accident, when in reality, the tripper had been killed by the ATF in 54'.

He called the garage, hoping to talk to his mother…but ended up getting his uncle James…who told him about how the ATF locked down Dawsonville the night he disappeared, tearing apart his home and the family garage trying to find him. But instead of finding him, they found his grandfather's still. His grandfather and his uncles were arrested, and Hud's mother worked herself near to death trying to keep the business afloat with only Sam to help her...and her health never recovered.  James angrily blamed Hud for everything, told him to not bother coming home, and hung up on him.  What Hud didn’t know was that his grandfather had heard the last part of the conversation and tried to call him back…but Hud was already on his way out of town, heartbroken.

Not knowing what to do or where to go, he drove to Detroit, hoping to either disappear into obscurity, or start over.  Unfortunately for him, he wasn’t able to do either.  No matter where he went, people kept asking for autographs, or challenging him to races… and even hiding behind a contemporary paint job couldn’t save him the pain of having to think about what he lost in Thomasville.  He would eventually leave Detroit and head west, taking in the sights of Route 66. He helped out a stranded car in Carburetor County, Arizona, and in so doing stumbled upon a series of oddly ironic billboards.  Curious, he followed them to the Mechanical School of Carburetor County and, with no other options available, enrolled in classes to become a Doctor of Internal Combustion.  He finished at the top of his class, and with a newfound sense of purpose swelling in is engine, used the money that he'd made racing to open a clinic in the nearby town of Radiator Springs. 

Additional factoids: 

He resented his father, Sam, for being away from the house so much, and part of his acting out as a kid was in the hopes that it would encourage Sam to take a more active role in raising him.

He never knew that Ghost was his sire until after he mended bridges with Smokey.

He had a half-sister (Sandra Carlton) whom was sired by Ghost and Cassie Carlton (the scout for the Still Chasers). He never met her, nor was he ever made aware of her existence.

Was gay, and was quite the playboy in his early adult years.

When the Still Chasers were in town for some R&R, Hud would don an opulent paint job--usually some shade of blue--with expensive, white-wall tires...and then head on over to the nearest bar to drink and socialize.

He gave himself the nickname "The Fabulous Hudson Hornet" after getting separated from the rest of the Still Chasers outside of Jacksonville, FL and somehow managing to evade an entire ATF task force and police from three, separate counties.

He had a best-friends-with-benefits-esque relationship with Sheriff until his passing in '09.

He had degrees in Clinical Aerodynamics and Internal Hydraulics in addition to his Doctorate in Internal Combustion.

With Lightning's support, he would eventually find, and make amends with, his surviving family members (his grandfather and his uncle James).

Loved 1960’s rock and roll.

Young Hud's theme song:

This cat has the best adoption profile I have ever read

(Transcript: A large black and white cat with long wild fur has his face fully stuffed in a small clear glass of water. Below is a text of his profile edited to highlight the funny parts. The text reads:

"About Legend

Moderately shy

Hi there! Meet Legend!  He is an old man who’s looking for a quiet home to retire in. Although he looks a little rough and tough around the edges, he is full of love. He wants nothing more than to curl up on your lap and take a nap. (Highight start) His favourite things are catnip and watching YouTube videos for cats!(Highlight end)

Since arriving at AARCS, Legend has had quite the transformation. He’s had a dental, gained a lot of  weight, and even had a spa day! Now he is looking and feeling his absolute best and is looking to meet his special family. He is a lovely cat with such a warm personality. He’s honestly one of the nicest cats I’ve ever met, and I’ve met a lot of cats! He comes on quite strong with people he likes and has no qualms with laying on your chest every chance he gets… regardless of what you think of the matter! He’s friendly with everyone he’s met, but timid to sudden loud noises and boisterous people/dogs.(Highlight start) He’s quite vocal and I think he just likes the sound of his own voice sometimes… he bellows to the skies at least once a day.(Highlight end)

Legend would be best suited to a home with no children or animals; however, he would likely do okay with older children and/or elderly animals. He tolerates my dogs, but doesn’t really care for them and really dislikes the barking! He has no problem telling the dogs when they have overstepped his boundaries. I have not tested him with cats. He is completely litter box trained and has never had an accident outside the box since being in my home.

He is on a special kidney care diet but is a very picky eater. His wet food needs to be mixed with something more tasty to encourage him to eat! He eats both wet and dry food, but will yell at you for human food every chance he gets. (Highlight Start) He is a huge beggar! You need to keep your butter dish locked up tight as that is one of his favourites (I learned that the hard way – haha!).(Highlight end)
