Why are my education and work experience factors in deciding whether my application for disability will be approved?
By Kay Derochie / March 3, 2016 / Social Security Disability Claims Process / 41 Comments
Learn the importance of your education and work history and see when and how they relate to your Social Security application for disability.
Meeting the Disability Listings
If your medical or psychiatric condition is so severe that it meets Social Security's Listing of Impairments, the Social Security Administration will not review your education or work history when evaluating your application for disability. Nor will your education or transferable skills from work experience be considered if you are able to return to a past occupation.
When Your Education and Work History Affect Your Disability Claim
If your condition does not meet the Listings, which is often the case, then Social Security evaluates whether or not you are disabled by comparing your physical and mental capabilities to the mental and physical demands of work you have done in the past. If you are unable to perform past occupations, that's when your education and work experience come into play. If your education and transferable skills from past work prepare you to work in an occupation that is within your health limitations, you are not disabled according to Social Security law and your claim will be denied. On the other hand, if you do not have the education and experience to work in a new occupation that you can physically or mentally perform, your claim will be approved. How education and experience are factored into the evaluation varies depending on whether you are under age fifty, age fifty through age fifty-four or age fifty-five or older.
You can see from this that it is important for you to answer carefully and completely Social Security's or your attorney's questions about your work history. When listing your duties, be sure to list all your duties, describing the physical and mental demands of each and why you cannot meet those demands now.

Hello I have posted before but I am even more worried now. I used to be on SSDI and tried getting off it to work full time. I tried this for less than a year and failed at each full time job I tried. I applied again for SSDI and they said they had to start the process over again. They've sent me questionnaires in the mail. The last one I filled out was work history but it was extremely confusing for me to fill out. I tried contacting my rep for my case but his message stated he would be out of the office for most of the time it stated that this had to be returned. The other numbers he gave to call also were sent to voicemail. I went to the office to get help and the lady receptionist turned me away stating my worker wasn't there and basically no one else could help me. I was really upset because I had messed up on the form and needed a new one. I called the numbers again and got ahold of one of the other reps. He printed me out a new form and said he'd send it out. I said I didn't have enough time to wait because the first letter took so long to come. I came back and tried to get the form and the same lady tried to stop me again. Luckily the guy showed up with the form cause I called I called from the parking lot. I filled it out the best I could at home and sent it off the next day. It's been about 3 weeks. I have been checking my ssa account and the payments have been regular and stated I would receive a December payment until I checked today. It nows says I'm no longer receiving payments as of December 2016 and am only getting Medicare. I also got a letter dated November 21st on November 25th stating that they never received the work history and that if I don't respond and give them the history in 10 calender days from the dated letter that my case could be denied. I called and left a message stating I did send it in. I also reprinted the history and had my husband fax it to the office. Tomorrow is Monday and I have surgery in the morning and will be recovering up to a week. I am very concerned because I haven't worked in 4 weeks trying to get my meds and everything else straight. I have $32 in my bank account and all my bills are start to be due on the 4th of December. My SSDI was going to help pay them and now according to the website I'm not getting a payment. There was no letter or warning about them stopping? They were scheduled up to about a week ago? I am way worse than I was before and now I wont even be able to pay my bills…
Kay Derochie
Dear K.,
I am not sure I understand your situation. You seem to be saying that your benefits were continuing up until now, which would not be compatible with having to "start over," which I would understand to mean filing a new claim. Yet, you also seem to be saying that you were working up to a week or so before the surgery. Please clarify your situation if you can and I'll try to respond. In the meantime, you might try to reach the representative who was helpful with the form; if payments are possible, maybe he can help get them started again.
If they sent my file to disability determantion servers what that mean i give them my school records when i was in specail education an receive help from for mildy student program and my medical records from Mental health
Kay Derochie
Dear Robert,
The information you have received is that your claim is being reviewed to determine whether you are disabled as defined by Social Security law. Be sure to provide any additional information you are asked for.
Lisa A Yates
Dear Kay, I'm 46 years old , 28 years work history in nursing, my Dr disabled me for moderately severe obstruction ,Copd , I applied for disability , I took all my test to them , do you think I will get it I'm young , how long it might take thanks Lisa
Kay Derochie
Dear Lisa,
Please see my response of earlier today to your first question.
Dear Kay , every time I go to find if you respond to my questions I can not find them .I always remember what article I post them under.
Kay Derochie
Dear Karen,
You may be looking too soon. Your most recent posts were answered earlier today.
If approved for ssdi how long it take to receive benefits?
Kay Derochie
Dear Karen,
If you do not also have a workers compensation or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claim, it typically takes six to eight weeks for monthly benefits to start. Back pay usually takes another month or two after monthly benefits start. All that said, processing times are unpredictable and could it could take longer.
I applied for ssi and ssdi thanks Kay
Hi Kay,
My husband is 85 years old never worked in the us and don't have his education here but he is a us citizen getting ssi
I have 2 questions : I applied for myself to be added to his ssi file & be a couple case two years ago never heard back from them !! I know I am eligible since the only income I have is $580 social security
The other question is : can he change his ssi to ssi disability based on age & work & education history & how can we do that ?
Do we need an attorney ?
Kay Derochie
Dear Fari,
Because your husband is not under age sixty-five disability benefits do not apply to him. He is receiving SSI based on age. If you are age sixty-five or older or you are disabled, you can also be eligible for SSI as part of a couple. The couple rate is $1,100. If your Social Security of $580 is the amount of your benefit before withholding for Medicare premiums, once you are on SSI, you and your husband would each receive $270 ($1,100 – $560 / 2) for total income of $1,130. I suggest that you apply again.
Hi Kay, today I contact at my attorney's office and spoke with someone not sure if it was my attorney's paralegal but they put me through to her I asked her if my high school records would be a good thing to send in because it shows that I had an IEP in high school that I stopped going to school in the beginning of 10th grade my grades are all bad and a tremendous amount of days I missed. I am 43 years old I suffer from major depression generalized anxiety ADHD and mood disorders. Who i had spoke to on the phone told me that the records were not need it because how far back they were. She said something about the odar not needing them I can't remember exactly what she said about the odar I'm trying to get my claim for a dire need because of my financial situation but because of my disorders I was wondering wouldn't that be sufficient evidence and do you think I should ask my attorney if I should still turn them in?
Kay Derochie
Dear Karen,
Even though the records are old, they do document a minimal education level and learning challenges, which are considered in determining your ability to work in a new occupation. Accordingly, I would think that they could be valuable to your claim. I do support your talking to your actual attorney to get the attorney's opinion.
Kay thanks for your response. I feel the same way to me it gives an idea how long I've been dealing with my diagnosis also when I hired them to represent me I had given them my paper on my medications and how they had been changed to higher does and they took that paper now my meds last Friday were some changed and others higher does and the paralegal tells me just hold on to the paper instead of sending it in I'm just curious why not add things to my file when I tell her about things that I feel as though can help my claim to me that's new evidence.I'm not good right now with holding on to things and keeping order that's why I try and give them anything I have at the moment so I don't lose things.I don't know if it's too early but I've got a gut feeling about this Law Firm I hope it's not right
The only thing they except to send is the fee agreement and my MRFC that my psychiatrist filled out that clearly states every check off unable to meet competitive standard or no useful ability to function and says can not work
Kay Derochie
Dear Karen,
Your attorney must have a reason for waiting–maybe to present it at a hearing. In the meantime, try to have one place where you put really important things.
Thank you Kay
Kay Derochie
You are welcome, Karen.
Dear Kay, I'm so happy that I found your disability advisor page it really helps me get through this process. How about my attorney just called me and asked would I happen to have any past school records just thought I'd share this with you. thank you for all you do Kay
Kay Derochie
You are welcome and thank you, Karen.
Dear Kay , My attorneys paralegal last week called me telling me my attorney needs my school records after before the paralegal telling me they were to old. On three occasions I have ask the paralegal has she received documents I mailed back? Her reply was eather .. I know it was here I just saw it , I don't see it let me see if any body seen it or can you resend it I don't see it . When ever I call the law firm they direct my calls to her and if I have any questions for her to answer she says .. I don't know I just started here . My anxiety is already through the roof my hearing a month away. Kay when I go to my hearing can I bring a few documents and thing I may think may be evidents to my hearing just incase?
Kay Derochie
Dear Karen,
Under the circumstances, I think that is a good idea; but be sure you have also given them to your attorney's office. In addition, when you get the date of the hearing, you can request to review the list of documents your attorney's office has been submitted.
Thank you Kay for your reply I spoke with my attorney today and she said I see that you were in special education grade school and high school you also have medical records we are treatments growing up and your mrfc is very supporting from your psychiatrist you also have a long work history. Willl working all my life hurt my claim when I go to my hearing?
Kay Derochie
Dear Karen,
A strong work history can actually help your claim because it shows that you have a work ethic and would likely be working if you were medically able to.
Thank you Kay for your response. I have read that on the actual Social Security Site the judge respects a work ethic but my attorney was questioning me why did I wait so long to apply? Why did I work all these years? I'm thinking my symptoms were not as bad then and always tried for help . I have major depression, adhd and generalized anxiety. How would I answer the judge at my hearing if he questioned my working over the years if he questioned it ?
Kay Derochie
Dear Karen,
Tell the truth, as you told me, that your conditions have gradually gotten worse, and you hung on working as long as you could.
LeeArtress Heath-Bey
Hi Kay, I have peripheral vascular disease, which lead to gangrene in my foot. I lost half of my right foot to amputation. I also have ischemic cardiomyopathy and need surgery on my left leg to increasebloodflo. I initially applied in 2014 right after my surgery but only listed my amputation. I was denied within a month because of insufficient evidence. I have applied again after attempting to work unsuccessfully. I have been a self made chef (i didn't graduate homeschool) since 1999. I'm 40 years old and have lost everything because I can't work. Do I have a good chance of approval?
LeeArtress Heath-Bey
Kay Derochie
Dear LeeArtress,
Because of your young age, your partial amputation might not reach disability because you might have the ability to work in a sedentary job (seated) that offered on-the-job training. Therefore, it is likely that the severity of your cardiac condition will determine whether or not you are eligible for benefits.
Michelle Johnson
I applied for social security ssi ssdi in February 2015
I was diagnosed with schzophania.I see a trerapist for treatment I have a physc doctor also.the medical examiner called me ask a few question told me she was in charge if the case.she sent me papers to fill out about pain and how do working affect me with my illness.I send it back to California medical office I guess. I think it was address in a yellow postage paid envelope.I wanted to know will I get the disability and how long do it take?
Kay Derochie
Dear Michelle,
I do not know whether your claim will be approved; it will depend on how severely your illnesses affect your ability to function in a workplace. Decisions usually take two to five months.
I was in a car wreck 1-1-16. My back was crushed in two places. L1 was a starburst fracture in which the bone exploded and parts of it were compressing against my spinal cord. I spent 10 days in the hospital. Six in ICU bc they couldn't do the surgery right away due to swelling and hematomas. A fusion was done from T11-L3. Fake bone was put in place of my bone bc he had to remove all the pieces during surgery. I'm in a full back brace. In April I rebroke my back due to a fall. I have another compression fracture. I've been an X-ray tech for 11 yrs. my job consists of being on your feet , pushing pulling and lifting patients and X-ray equipment. It's a very physical job. I saw a CE examiner today and couldn't perform all of the tests. I can barely walk and should be paralyzed. I'm in constant pain and on a lot of medication. Prior to the accident I have herniated discs in my neck along with RA. There's no way I can work. My legs go numb still and my back and neck are always in excruciating pain. The problem is is I'm only 34. But I've been in xray for 11 yrs. what are my chances of being approved? I have three kids. I got a seperation notice when my boss realized I had a new break. I applied in February. I guess the results from this appt will mean whether I'm approved or denied? And if so how long does it usually take?
Kay Derochie
Dear Jennifer,
If you are able to work in a new occupation for which you have transferable skills or that you can learn on the job, you will not be considered disabled. However, if your condition is severe enough that you can not sustain employment and the incapacity is expected to last twelve months, your claim will be approved despite your young age. The consulting physician's report will be considered along with the other medical information in your claim file. The consultant has three weeks to submit the report. It can take from a couple weeks to a couple months after that to get a decision depending on how busy your area's Disability Determination Services is.
I am 50 years old, and I applied for disability on 10.18.13 (50th birthday was on 11.26.13) based on multiple impairments, including cervical & lumbar stenosis, scoliosis and severe degenerative disc disease resulting in a number of neurological problems as well as severe & debilitating pain (I don't have a single intact disc in my back). I also have depression and anxiety, as well as serious cognitive impairments I have developed after a series of closed head injuries. All of this was stated in my application in great detail in my application through my attorney. It has been 5 months, and now I am being asked to attend three different disability exams that will delay a decision another month. I have no income, so any delay is serious. I am wondering why DDS is ordering a mental exam when I have 6 months of psychiatric and weekly counseling records up to last week. This mental exam by itself delays my claim another month. I thought if they had 90 days of records they did not order additional exams. I am worried about my approval as I have no plan B so any delay increases my depression and anxiety considerably. The other exams are physical and breathing. The physical exam makes sense to me as my current records and imaging on my back problems are limited, although abundant up to three years ago when I lost my health care. The breathing exam, I imagine, is because I have bronchiectasis, although that has been well established. The mental exam puzzles me though. Any thoughts?
Kay Derochie
Dear DMS,
I can offer the general information that consultative examinations are requested to fill gaps in information needed to establish disability. The claims examiner is not going to order and have the government pay for exams that are not necessary for the evaluation of your claim. It may be that each of your conditions alone is not enough to be considered disabling and they want to have a full understanding of all of them to determine whether you are disabled by a combination of conditions. Be sure to attend the exams. The fact that they are ordering examinations means that your claim is actively being worked on and no longer waiting its turn, so that is good news.
I was approved for partially disability on November 10, 2013 how long does it take to receive a letter and Hong long until I start receiving payments?
Kay Derochie
Dear Callie,
Social Security does not make partial disability determinations, so I am guessing that you received a partially favorable decision, which is likely to mean that they have determined that either your disability has ended or that it began later than you claimed. To answer your question, it can take sixty days or so to receive payment.
Hi i apply for my 9 year old son in july 22 2013he got a letter for a speech and Languege exam Nov 2 2013 we attended ..When will we get a respond back
Kay Derochie
Dear Suzanna,
After the Disability Determination Services (DDS) receive the report from the examination, it has to be reviewed in relationship to all the other information in the claim file. This review is done by a DDS physician and the DDS examiner. It is hard to predict how long it will take for you to receive a physician. However, if they find they need to request other information, I would think the DDS would make a decision within a month or six weeks from now.

The terminal A of the Kiev Boryspil (Borispol) airport is the terminal dedicated to the national arrivals and departures.
From here you can find flights to all the main other Ukrainian cities which, in general, don't have good international connections
The terminal A is non as good as the close Terminal B but anyway it offers all the main services.
What you see once inside the terminal
There are not many sits but this should be not a big problem as there are not so many people as in the terminal B. The main reason is that local people don't use plane for internal transfers but prefer to travel by train or by bus.
The check in area is at the end of the room. On the monitors over the desks, you can read the name of the plane, the aircompany and the destination.
The check in begin about 1 hour, 1 hour and half before the departure. You can check your flight status on the monitors or just by waiting the check in call which is also in English.
Once you have the boarding card, go to the boarding room which is after the security control.
The security control is just after the door under the pannel gates A1 -A4.
Once passed the security check, you have just to wait for the boarding time and then finally take your plane.
The gates are not so "modern" they are simple doors which give right outside the terminal where the bus for the plane come to take the passengers.
The 4 gates are one next to the other and so if more than one plane is doing the boarding can happen that outside you will find not 1 bus but even 3 buses!
Be carefull to take the correct bus for no to end to a different plane. Read the destination on the side of the bus before to take it.
Have a nice flight!

I thought I was Lea Salonga. In a recent interview, she said, " I 'm going to cry when I see Rachelle Ann Go, Jonjon Briones…" and that was exactly my very emotional reaction specially when Gigi & Kim sang "The Movie In My Mind". I had goose bumps then my heart just suddenly felt so tight and tears just fell down my eyes. Definitely, the heat is on in Saigon.
The role of Kim was reprise in the West End production of Miss Saigon by Eva Noblezada while Rachelle Ann Go played the role of Gigi. The show-stealing performance of the Engineer was also portrayed by Jonjon Briones. They were among of the very talented Filipinos who are part of the revival of the hit musical Miss Saigon.
To witness the comeback of this musical after 25 years is the one and only reason why I wanted to go back to London. I shouldn't miss this chance no matter what.
As usual, Rolex and I are strangers once the show started (read: no talking, just pure silence). The first time we watched a musical in West End which was Les Miserables back in 2011, he was pissed off even when I would just simply hold him in the arms, meaning touching is also not even allowed. I have to contain my thrill and excitement, on my own!
I didn't know how I managed to survive but I was able to have this Miss Saigon souvenir program signed by the main cast by just borrowing pens and markers from the other fans, LOL!

text: Porcine Dermis Compared With Polypropylene Mesh for Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy: A Randomized Controlled TrialCulligan, Patrick J.; Salamon, Charbel; Priestley, Jennifer L.; Shariati, AmirObstetrical & Gynecological Survey: April 2013 - Volume 68 - Issue 4 - p 282–284 doi: 10.1097/01.ogx.0000429296.47587.1c Gynecology: Urogynecology Abstract Author Information The current criterion standard for repair of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy performed with a synthetic graft incorporating polypropylene mesh. To reduce the risk of synthetic mesh-related complications such as graft erosion, some surgeons have used nonmeshed porcine dermis to augment vaginal prolapse repairs. At a follow-up of 2 to 5 years, the reported success rates for the nonmeshed dermis are 81% to 87% for vaginal repairs, but surgeons experience a higher failure rate when the material was used for sacrocolpopexy. In recent years, a meshed porcine dermis product has been available that has a much more favorable host response. It has been hypothesized that the more favorable host response with meshed dermis could provide better sacrocolpopexy outcomes than those reported for nonmeshed porcine dermis. Before widespread adoption of meshed porcine dermis, it must be directly compared in randomized trials with the current criterion standard, type 1 polypropylene mesh. This double-blind, randomized controlled trial compared the objective and subjective surgical outcomes at 12 months after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy performed with porcine dermis or type 1 polypropylene mesh. Study subjects were patients scheduled for laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. Only the surgical team was aware of the particular graft material used for each patient; both the clinical research nurse and the patients were blinded as to which graft material was used. The primary outcome measure was objective anatomic cure, which was defined as no POP quantification (POP-Q) points stage 2 or greater at any postoperative interval within the 1-year study period. The primary secondary end point was clinical cure defined as any patient with a POP-Q point greater than zero, or point C less than or equal to −5, or any complaints of prolapse symptoms on Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 or Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire, Short Form. Reoperation for prolapse was considered to be clinical failure. There were no preoperative differences between the randomized groups: porcine (n = 57) and mesh (n = 58). At 12 months, the objective anatomic cure rates were similar in both groups (porcine: 80.7% vs synthetic mesh; 86.2%; P = 0.24). The clinical cure rates were also similar (porcine: 84.2% vs synthetic mesh: 89.7%; P = 0.96). Significant improvement was found in both groups for scores in the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire, Short Form 7, with no differences between groups. No major operative complications were noted. These findings show similar subjective or objective outcomes 12 months after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy performed with either porcine dermis or polypropylene mesh, suggesting that porcine dermis may be a suitable alternative to synthetic mesh.

If a week is a long time in politics, then 180 days might seem like a lifetime in the finance hotseat.
However, that 180 days (or two quarters) is the time it takes for a new-to-role CFO to make an impact or 'own the numbers', according to Deloitte report 'The CFO view: Making an impact'.
While conventional business wisdom proclaims the first 90 days of a new leadership role as a vital transitionary period, those who have been there and got the t-shirt can testify that time passes quickly in a busy senior finance role.
Deloitte report author Richard Horton states that while a lot can be achieved in the first three months, the first quarterly report or figures are likely to be a legacy from the previous incumbent.
According to Horton, it takes two quarters or 180 days for good CFOs to assess their talent, understand how the business operates and build critical relationships.
With 40% of senior executives leaving their role within 18 months of being appointed, a good transitional period is crucial to the success or failure of a finance executive.
With this in mind AccountingWEB looks at five key areas a new finance director or CFO should be looking to focus on during this pivotal 180 days:
- Step back, take a breath
- Understand how your business makes money
- Check what's left behind
- Clear time in your diary
- Get to the data that matters

Camping: Generally, camping with tents or caravans on private ground requires permission by the landowner and is strictly prohibited in nature reserves, along the Grossglockner-Hochalpenstrasse and in game preserves. Most of the Austrian camping sites (on the road map 1 : 150,000 issued by the OeAMTC automobile club) are situated close to culturally important places in beautiful landscapes and are equipped with modern sanitary facilities. Users of camping sites have to register with the police. In 1993 there were about 470 camping sites in Austria.

Author's note: SKYWARD SWORD SPOILERS. If you don't want to be spoiled for a fight early on in the game, don't read it. This is almost entirely wild theorising. Awesome.
When they are young, they steal away from the palace to gaze at the night.
The sky is different at night. Where it is blindingly bright during the day, a dazzling white spot moving against the background and leaving everything in a washed-out filter, the sky at night is soft. He sees contours and ripples and lumps and bumps, a soft and content grey, the sky-light dimmer and soothing to the eyes.
Are those reds and purples he sees amongst the grey? Perhaps it is - the world at night is more colourful than the world at day.
His friend gazes ahead, at softly glowing grasses and mushrooms, and says, "Some day, this will all be mine."
But he is looking up at the friendly clouds.
When they are adolescents, they steal away from the palace to be alone.
There is a cool hand in his hand, confident fingers exploring his skin. Grass tickles his back and the breeze caresses his limbs, and he gazes up at the reassuring clouds.
There is a cool hand in his hair, cool lips leaving white marks on his throat, and his eyes almost close at the scandal of it all. But at the last moment, they fly open again - somewhere, something extrordinary is happening.
Because for just a moment, the clouds have parted.
And he sees stars.
When he is a young man, he steals away from the palace alone.
He meets his contact under the smothering clouds, and together, they look up at the sky. "You've seen them," he says, and he's gazing for the hidden. "The stars."
He's silent for a moment. "I have."
"Then you see the truth. You know that he has changed. You have eyes to seek."
Slowly, he nods. There is another world up there, above the concealing clouds.
His contact gazes at him, and then he tells him about her.
When he returns, he cannot quite manage to steal away.
He is waiting for him, legs folded, perched on his golden throne. "You met with them, didn't you."
It is not a question.
The other's lip curls up in a sneer. "They lie to you, my friend. There is no different sky and you will not be the one to see it."
He is silent, unmoving. Although he nods once, slowly, he still cannot bring himself to forget. There's a gloved hand on his cheek, and dark eyes he cannot meet.
Because he cannot forget the stars.
When his friend is consumed by his egomania and is no longer the boy he once kissed under the clouds, he prepares not to steal away, but to leave openly.
He wears their symbol now, an eye forged of blood, marked with three to signify the Goddesses. Goddesses, not the singular goddess of the Surface - the Goddesses of the people of the sky, the Goddesses that protect Her.
He cannot stay.
"They will destroy you," his former friend says, and his gloved hands are shaking in rage and frustration. "They will never let you live in their light. If we are to live in the dark, then we must extinguish their light."
He gazes up at him with eyes as red as the symbol he now wears, and shakes his head. "Then we will be of the shadows, and let the light give us form."
And he turns, ignoring his former friend's shouts - he will find this holy child and he will consume her for himself, and there's nothing he can do to stop it.
He keeps walking.
When the Sky Child falls from the clouds, he is there to help her to her feet.
He thanks the beast who caught her, takes her hand, and runs - the Surface is not safe for one of the Sky, and he can see the fear on her face when she gazes up at the clouds.
"Where is the sun?" she asks quietly.
"What is the sun?" he asks in reply.
Later, when they are able to find some measure of brief safety, he explains and so does she. She is no child, he realises, but a young woman who does not seem aware of her beauty. Beneath her skin, holy light glimmers in her veins, and there is starlight in her eyes.
This, he decides, is what godliness feels like.
When they stop to rest one night, he discovers that she carries a treasure with her - a golden lyre that glitters like the stars.
It fits in his hands like it was designed for him, and her hands guide him through songs and melodies.
And, later, she lies settled in his arms while he plucks a melody for her, and silently he swears that she will never be alone.
When they meet with the young man who fell for her, he is surprised at the lack of jealousy he feels.
Perhaps it is his own fascination. He shines like the sun that She has told him of, and he finds himself captivated. His stars, his sun - he longs to see them again, but the two of them together sate the urge for now.
"She is like the stars," he tells the sun, and the sun tells him, "Then you are the moon, watching over the stars."
Perhaps, he realises, the moon can protect the sun as well.
When the hero who fell from the heavens brings purity to the land, the stars and the sun and the moon are revealed. The day they confront his old friend, the sky is cloudless blue, as clear and as warm as the eyes of his stars and sun.
And yet, something is changing. The sun hides the stars and the moon from view, the boy from the heavens protecting them from harm. And overhead, the moon is stealing closer and closer to the sun.
But the sun cannot win this on his own. And so he kisses his queen of the stars goodbye, and as the moon shields the sun from view and the stars shine forth, he takes the blow intended for the hero.
Gazing skyward as the moon eclipses the sun, he feels a pair of warm hands in his own. "Protect her," he murmurs to both the hero and to those he knows are watching, and the battle rages on.
When the battle ends, the sun and the stars are left alone, settled beside the fallen moon. The sun is shining, now - the moon has faded from sight again, the stars hiding their glow until the night falls again. But it'll be a cloudless night that falls on the Surface this time - there's no moon to bleach out the skies, but there will be soon.
The queen of the stars slowly rises to her feet, unafraid amongst these men and women that bear the eye of truth. "He will be remembered," one says, a white-haired woman with the same red eyes he possessed. "And we will protect you and your family eternally."
She bends on one knee, and the queen of the stars starts when she realises her sun is doing so as well. For a moment, her eyes fill with tears, her starlight eyes blur.
"We will take his name," the white-haired woman continues, and reaches up to touch the white marks beneath her eyes. "We will walk beneath the cloudless sky and let your light cast our shadows."
The red-eyed woman lifts her head and gazes at her fiercely. "In his name, the Sheikah will protect you for an eternity."
When they are young, they steal away from the palace to gaze at the night.
It is a new life, born to the race that bear his name. A reward, he decides when he first lays eyes on her - his queen of the stars, young and beautiful in the sun.
At first, he is saddened when she does not remember all that they lived through. But slowly, he too begins to forget - to forget endless clouds and glowing seas of grass and a world that does not possess a sky.
He does not forget the stars and the sun.
One day, they will move and breathe as one, and he will protect her within himself.
One day, he will not fail her, and their feet will carry them to see his sun again.
One day, his hands will produce songs from an ancient golden lyre, and he will briefly remember the gentle clouds.
One day, his stars and sun will chase the dark from the land, and the moon will rise again unblemished.
When they are older, they steal away from the palace to gaze at the sun, the stars and the moon in a cloudless sky, and the first and last of the Sheikah is grateful for the light.

Introduction: Overview
This exploration enables teachers to learn about students' attitudes and the extent of their knowledge: how much they know about war and the efforts to limit the suffering caused by war. It sets the tone with an open discussion in which teachers and students explore difficult questions together. There are no 'right answers' at this stage, and participants are not expected to be well-informed on the subject.
The optional 15-minute activity "Why not outlaw war?" can be used in this exploration, if time permits, or in any other exploration in which the question arises.
This course is one 45-minute session.
- To be aware of central questions underlying international humanitarian law (IHL)
- To be aware that there are no easy answers to some questions that may come up while exploring IHL
- To construct a preliminary definition of human dignity
Key Ideas
- The concept of human dignity is central to humanitarian law and will be revisited throughout EHL.
- Some of the questions that arise in EHL have no single right answer or indeed any easy answers. One of the aims of EHL is to identify such questions and to explore them.
In the Methodology Guide, review teaching methods 1 (Discussion), 2 (Brainstorming) and workshop 1 ("Introducing Exploring Humanitarian Law to students").
If possible, view the relevant chapter of the teacher video (Leading discussion: Introductory exploration) and the relevant chapter of the training film for teachers (Introductory exploration).
Introduction and setting the tone | 5 minutes
Tell students that the purpose of this discussion is only to gauge what they think as they begin to study IHL. Reassure them that no one is expected to be well-informed on the subject, and that no one has to speak if he or she is uncomfortable about any issue that might come up.
Establish the rules for discussion:
Start the discussion | 5 minutes
International humanitarian law aims to protect life and human dignity. Therefore, the concept of human dignity is central to Exploring Humanitarian Law (EHL).
Continue the discussion | 25 minutes
Choose other questions to continue the discussion. Encourage students to give reasons for their views and to use concrete examples.
Close | 10 minutes
Conclude the discussion by linking the concept of human dignity to armed conflict.
Possible question:
Have students work together to develop a definition of the term 'human dignity.' Record this definition and post it, so that it is available for the duration of the programme.

Lessons from the G20 for "Regular" Negotiators
China's treatment of the U.S. delegation as President Obama arrived at the G20 conference sparked controversy and a firestorm of international criticism. There are some great lessons here for front-line negotiators involved in cross-border deals.
Barack Obama 'deliberately snubbed' by Chinese in chaotic arrival at G20 – The Guardian
The US president was denied the usual red carpet welcome and forced to 'go out of the ass' of Air Force One, observers say
China chides media's hype of G20 spat – Global Times
Overblown reports show arrogance: foreign ministry
Lessons from the G20 "tarmac row"
The conflict may or may not have been serious – but it was real. It says a lot about both the US and Chinese cultures. The Chinese infuriated the world with their hostile behavior. (Don't be politically correct and insist on saying "perceived hostility". Many people were angered by the way national security adviser Susan Rice was treated on that airport tarmac, and you may have been one of them. Own it.) We infuriate the Chinese by talking about it publicly.
- Mitigating or glossing over the conflict as "unimportant" is counter-productive and dangerous. This was a significant event, and if you are negotiating with a Chinese counter-party then you need a plan for dealing with similar encounters.
- Ignoring them or pretending that they are immaterial to your business is a major blunder. Your negotiating counter-party is a serious person with experience, values, and attitudes that are very different from yours. Culture gaps are real, and they are not going away. If you are going to work with a Chinese counter-party, then these differences will be part of your business — and part of your life.
- Say "thank you". The Chinese side is supplying your with free information. They are illustrating who they are, what they care about, and how they react to situations. Accidental honesty is the most significant kind. Behaviors are deeply rooted and consistent. Ignore them at your own risk.
Next Steps for front-line negotiators:
You just got a free lesson, so make sure you have learned something from it. If you are doing business with a Chinese client – or ANY COUNTER-PARTY – then there is a simple two-step process for dealing with cultural difference.
Step 1: Analyze HIM. It is your job to understand his attitudes, his values, and his culture.
Step 2: Adjust YOURSELF. Successful negotiators know they must make appropriate adjustments to their own behavior, deal structure, and business plan.
It is human nature to do just the reverse – analyze us and attempt to adjust our counter-parties, but this only leads to conflict, failed deals, and value destruction. Break the cycle and build a negotiating plan that acknowledges (and even leverages) cultural differences.

If you compare Zoho Projects with other commercial Project management softwares, I found Zoho Projects cheaper than other in terms of pricing.
Zoho Projects offers you Enterprise, Premium, Express and Free version. You can try out the free version before trying out other premium version. And if you really liked Zoho Projects, I would recommend you to go for the premium one which will cost you only $299 per year with additional features. That is equal to $25 per month.
Zoho also offer your monthly plans, which $10 extra for Enterprise plan. That is $35 monthly for the Enterprise plan. So I would recommend you to go with the yearly plan than monthly to save $120 per year.

text: Rebuild and cartridge prices seem to vary quite a bit. I've seen rebuilds down in the area you mention. Cartridge prices start there. I'm guessing that the rebuild consists of installing new bearings (a < $100 kit) and rebalancing ($20-$50). A cartridge is presumably the same thing, except they rebuild someone else's dead turbo, and trade it for mine :) Either of those options is a lot more efficient than fooling with it myself, but I may be unable to resist...

text: Hello! About two and a half weeks ago I was hired by UPS to be a Driver Helper. I haven't been called in once. I'm just curious if there is a certain time Drivers start calling in help or if the drivers in my area are just not wanting to call in help? Note that I currently live close to Reno, NV which is quite a large place so I don't believe it's because the area is too small for necessary help.

On Being British
I woke early this morning, with Scotland on my mind. Would I now not be able to talk about the UK, with it instead being the DK – a Divided Kingdom? What would the result be?
I switched on my computer, hurriedly turning to the BBC website, surprised by my tears. I'm grateful the union is staying together, although I know many hearts are broken today, the thought of going it alone quashed.
The flurry of the past weeks has left me thinking about what it means to be British. I hold a British passport, but I'd never introduce myself as a Brit. The Yankee-Doodle blood just runs too deeply. But I love this country with its quirks and hang-ups and treasures. Facing a fractured union made me realize that all the more.
I find the whole question of national identity interesting. If you're Scottish, Welsh or Irish, you'd introduce yourself according to your country (yes?). But what about the English? If that's you, do you say you're English or British? Does a remnant of historical embarrassment over being the ruling people keep the English from owning their identity?
And why don't we have better holidays in the UK than generic Bank Holidays? Okay, I know each country wouldn't want to celebrate the other's saint's days (fancy St David's Day, any non-Welsh?). Could we get behind a favorite person from history – Shakespeare? I know that celebrating a monarch simply won't go down for republicans. (And don't say you don't like to celebrate – I saw you at the London Olympics and Silver Jubilee…)
Chime in and tell me what you think, especially if you come from one of the countries of the United Kingdom. Who are you?

OMG THIS WAS BRILLIANT! I love the underlying tension of blair looking around, the way serena convinced her, the fact that her and chuck are still "undefined" but MY GOD i squealed when Chuck showed up! They still have their way with one another but when he finally told her what it was really about, THIS SHOULD BE THE SERIES!

I love the way that the passion from CB can turn from hate to love in a milisecond. I thinkyiuve really got it here as well, they can only be enemies or lovers - there is no in between :D nice job.
| kousi chapter 1 . 12/25/2010
Awww I love this, especially this line:
"You can't break up with me if we're not dating," This is something Chuck would say...
Great work!
| 88Mary88 chapter 1 . 12/14/2010
Loved this! I wanna have this Chuck on the show again :)! And maybe if he proposes again (a girl can dream) it should be slightly like this!
| sasha-yl27 chapter 1 . 12/14/2010
Aw I loved this !
| fuckface54 chapter 1 . 12/13/2010
I absolutely love this!
| louboutinlove chapter 1 . 12/12/2010
Oh, this was awesome. I was beginning to miss your engagement fics, they have great pace and are so true to character. Chuck broke my heart a little when he pointed out that if they weren't dating she couldn't break up with him. I wanted to give him a big hug. But my favorite definitely was Blair rightfully assuming that she had given him the ring back so he could put it on her finger when the time was right. Loved it. And keep them coming.
| LetMeIn1812 chapter 1 . 12/12/2010
I loved it!
The possessive tone was classic. This is the Chuck I love, the one that is steadfast in knowing what he want and is horribly ackward at expressing it, but always clear in his intent to make Blair and he partners for life.
Gosh I miss him thank you for reminding me about what should be. You are always amazing at that task.

Lovely! Beautiful! Great story!

text: After more than a decade of maintenance I'd been itching to get into some installation work for a while. Well, now I can say I've gotten my feet wet. Four seperate, and different projects this season had me feeling like I was back in grade school - but without a teacher. Project #1 was a raised garden bed using 6"x6" P.T. lumber. #2 was the same raised garden idea, only this time 5 different gardens, all curved, and all done with wall block. #3 was a 350 sq.ft. patio with porch under sliding patio doors, done with tumbled pavers. Finally, #4 was a set of garden steps and landings done with 4"x4" P.T. lumber down a slope with a 7' rise over a 30' run. Couple of things learned... Add an extra day leeway to finish a project if you're not sure how long it'll take. Invariably each project takes longer than you expect it will. With the above mentioned in mind, allow a generous 'fudge factor' when giving an estimate. All 4 jobs cost more than I originally estimated. A couple were a LOT more. Again along the lines of estimates...make sure the customer knows that your estimate is just that - an 'estimate', and not a firm bid price. That being said, an estimate should be reasonably accurate. For me that means within 10% of the final invoiced price. Also, be absolutely certain of the details of the job before beginning, and it's best to get it in writing. That way any change orders can be invoiced for above and beyond the originally estimated charge. I learned this the hard way, when the garden step guy's wife insisted that the landing at the bottom of the steps was to be an additional 10 feet in length (after we'd already built it). Lastly, expect the unexpected (such as the crazy wife wanting a PATIO at the bottom of the steps as opposed to a landing) , and roll with the punches without losing your cool. Again, I learned the hard way - minor freak out involving physically tearing up the bottomlanding (3 foot deep re-bar and all) after spending a great deal of time on it in extremely hot and humid conditions. While I'm happy to have done some true 'landscaping' over the past month, I'm just as glad to get on my Toro Z-Master and go on autopilot again for a while!

In java, the jars go into %{_javadir} which is defined as %{_datadir}/java. Most jars are compiled to native code which goes somewhere under %{_libdir}. Because mono is only checking for precompiled DLLs in the same directory as the DLL you can't separate the DLLs from the dll.so's as you can JARS from jar.so's. -Toshio
