Do you have a right to speak with the officer's supervisor?

There are two potential sources of such a right. The U.S. Constituteion, specifically the Fourth Amendment, and state law which can vary. Under US law, the answer is a simple no. There is no such federal right. There may be state laws that provide such a right, because some states are crazier than others (I have no idea about this part of the answer).

On the other hand, police departments may have policies that require compliance with this which is a different than a right under Federal or State law.

For landscapes camera type (i.e., DSLR, Mirrorless, Rangefinder, etc.) isn't going to be important to final product. Focus on sensor size and lean toward full frame or medium format as those will give you the best dynamic range and FOV options. You are going to want good wide angle lenses and that is where you should spend your money. The Medium Format equipment is going to be much more expensive, but you can find deals on used equipment as many have mentioned. Full-frame is probably the sweet spot, but if you are going to travel, consider the smaller formats.

As for number of megapixels, unless you are going to make large prints, most popular modern sensors have plenty. Even with large prints, when you take viewing distance into account, you typically need far fewer megapixels than you think.

I've never seen them do this before. All of the items are part of a larger equipment auction but they have created a couple of pages for only "Sportsman" items (which includes several guns). Those pages are at this LINK.

But they have left out some things like some ATV's, trailers, generators and other stuff that they could have put under the Sportsman link. The larger auction is at this LINK.

Generally speaking, Medicaid pays for most NH stays (unless the patient has resources). If she has assets, like home, land, etc., the state CAN (not necessarily will) take those assets to help pay. Get with an estate planning attorney immediately.

Medicaid is welfare. It only pays if the patient does not have the assets to be able to pay for their care. The Medicaid reimbursement rate in Louisiana is a little over $7,000 per month. Medicaid will allow a patient to retain certain assets like a family home. But it will require the depletion of all other assets toward the payment of the nursing home bills. And, once the resident dies, Medicaid has the right to collect what it has paid out of the patient's estate. It doesn't always do this.

There is a five-year look back period that makes it very dangerous to start making asset transfers for elderly patients who may need Medicaid to pay in the future.

As to nursing homes, take a look at the Nursing Home Compare website that CMS runs and look at its star rating and staff to patient ratios. That isn't a guarantee, but its a good place to start.

Once you pick a nursing home, if it is in Louisiana, put a camera in the patient room that shows interactions with the patient. Let the patient use the call light while you are in the room and time the delay before someone responds. Do this at different times of the day. You have your choice of physician but sometimes the physician that sees most of the residents (typically the Medical Director of the nursing home) is the best choice. Meet with and talk to them and their nurse practitioner and note how responsive they are to the patient's complaints.

Complain about everything that isn't being done properly. Complain when the food is bad. Complaint when it takes 30 minutes to respond to the call light. Complain when CNA's are rude to the patient. Keep a diary of all of this. If the nursing home isn't responsive, complaint to the State LTC Ombudsman's office.

Most nursing homes are going to do a reasonably good job of taking care of the patient, but being a squeaky wheel will help you family member get taken care of.

I remember when this happened. She had attended a multi-day event on Friday and met and talked to my sister. My sister was going to introduce us on Saturday. I obviously never met her, but remember it mostly for that reason. I don't remember hearing about the escape.

No. You still have to figure out the connection. And, isn't learning new words part of word games?
