In filing an application for Federal Disability Retirement benefits under FERS or CSRS, there are many questions that are posed for the person who is just being introduced to the concept of potentially filing for Federal Disability Retirement benefits under FERS or CSRS, and many of the sub-topical concepts are often “counter-intuitive”.

I am often asked whether or not a medical report from the “specialist” will have a greater impact than a family doctor.

The problem with the use of templates is that they are, over time and overusage, predictable; being predictable, they become ineffective.

Starting from a template is not necessarily a bad thing.

Posted by Tom_C This post was inspired by Rand. If I’m honest, I’m not sure how many of my posts aren’t inspired by Rand… Specifically however it was this tweet which set the wheels in motion (if ever so slowly): The link that Rand twittered was this one to the Financial Times . It’s a story about checklists. Yeah, *yawn* right? Well not quite – you see these checklists, used by all kinds of people from pilots to doctors, have The book’s main point is simple: no matter how expert you may be, well-designed check lists can improve outcomes – freakonomics been shown to increase safety, save lives and make millions. Atul Gawande is a surgeon and has worked hard to get checklists implemented in the medical profession to help save lives. He’s written a book about these checklists called The Checklist Manifesto ( Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk ). If you want to read more about these fascinating checklists and their incredible power I suggest you check out the FT link above or click here to read this New Yorker article written by Atul Gawande himself. Also, be sure to check out a sample from one of the medical checklists . That said, this is the internet age – why should we be forced to read anything at all when we can instead get all the knowledge we need through a short and catch video clip? Well, here’s the short and catchy video clip of John Stewart’s interview with Atul Gawande on The Daily Show (sorry, only available to US viewers I’m afraid – c’mon guys get your act together. I can watch the show in the UK, why can’t I watch clips online from the UK?): The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c Atul Gawande www.thedailyshow.com Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor Health Care Crisis As you have probably guessed by now, I was inspired by all of this to apply some of this checklist theory to our SEO projects. The main idea being that while we all know what to do – sometimes we forget to do some of the basics and by having a simple checklist at hand we can make sure we don’t miss anything out. There are obviously lots of different areas of SEO that this would apply to (and other areas – I think it’d work great for PPC) but I’ve chosen to focus on new projects. Below is a checklist that I am in the process of implementing at Distilled for any new SEO project which comes on board. I anticipate that it’s still useful for in-house folks too when launching a new site or project. I welcome your feedback and thoughts on this work in progress! SEO Project Kickoff Checklist Is billing set up? – This is useful to ensure that not only is the client in the system and set up for billing but that the project has actually transitioned from sales to operations. It’s also essential to check here that the SEO team knows how much the client is paying. Is the project in the project management system? – This is a no-brainer (like all the things on the list!) but useful to ensure that you can keep track of the project. In addition it’s important to ensure client contact details are stored there. Introduce all team members – Ensure anyone within the company who’s working with this client has sat down and knows what everyone else is doing. This is especially important if the client is paying for multiple services such as PPC, Web Development, SEO etc. Do you know which URL you’re working on? – Often you’ll start work for a company but that business may own many different sections and URLs. Which one are you working on? What is a conversion? – Whether goal tracking is set up or not in analytics it’s crucial to understand what a conversion is and how much that conversion is worth to the business. Do you have access to analytics & webmaster central? – SEO without data is like the winter olympics without snow. Ensure you have access to the data from the very start. Check for irregularities – validating analytics data can be a complete piece of work sometimes, that’s not what I mean here. What I mean here is just a quick sense-check that the site ranks for it’s own name, that analytics data vaguely ties up with rankings, PPC traffic isn’t appearing in analytics as organic etc. Benchmark current data – The three data points I think it’s useful to benchmark (that you can’t go back and check later) are: 1) Link metrics (my favourite are DA and PA) – it’s useful to store a copy of linkscape somewhere too, 2) A count of indexed pages (yes, I know this is sometimes wildly inaccurate but it’s still worth noting down), 3) A snapshot of rankings for the top 20 keyphrases (full rank tracking/analysis can be set up later in the project). Has a kickoff meeting with the client been scheduled? – And does the client know who their contact is within the SEO team. Do you like this post? Yes No

Perhaps the most dangerous myth associated with workers compensation laws is the notion that if you are injured and present your claim to your employer, you will receive compensation for your medical expenses and lost wages, and then, when your doctor tells you that you may go back to work, you will return to work.

The Pittsburgh car accident lawyers of Rudberg Law Offices, LLC outline some of the most common injuries from accidents and offer advice on pursuing an injury or wrongful death lawsuit . Neck and Back Injuries The most common injuries suffered by car accident victims are to the neck and back. Whiplash, compression or breakage of vertebrae, and spinal cord damage are serious and sometimes life-threatening injuries. Make sure you let emergency medical personnel know immediately if you are experiencing any pain or numbness in your neck, back, or extremities. Later, when working with your attorney on your lawsuit, be sure to inform him/her of your condition at the scene of the accident, in the hospital, and since then. Make sure you keep a list of the ambulance service, hospitals including any emergency room, any physician or specialist, and anyone else involved in treating your neck and back injuries. Head Injury Head injuries are also commonly caused by car accidents and may also be dangerous to your long-term health and well-being. Again, if you experienced any symptoms right after your accident, such as blurred vision, dizziness, or loss of consciousness, inform medical personnel and seek immediate treatment. Delays can allow what may initially seem like a minor head injury to rapidly deteriorate into a life-threatening situation. Later on, let your attorney know the symptoms you experienced both at the scene and afterward. Provide all documentation regarding your head injury, so your lawyer can track your progress and prognosis. Broken Bones Auto accident victims frequently suffer broken bones. Broken noses, cracked ribs, and shattered limbs are all examples of painful conditions that may take a long time to heal and prevent you from performing your daily activities during recovery. Your attorney can use the information you provide together with your medical records to win you compensation not just for the pain, physical rehabilitation, and other medical aspects of a broken bone, but perhaps for time lost from work and forced changes in your lifestyle, as well. Wrongful Death Obviously, the most devastating outcome of an automobile accident is the loss of a loved one. If you lose a family member due to an accident, you may be entitled to pursue claims for loss of their company and economic support. Your attorney will handle the investigation and fight the lawsuit, while providing support and compassion to you during this difficult time. If you are injured or lost a loved one due to a car accident, call the Pittsburgh automobile accident attorneys of Rudberg Law Offices, LLC for advice on filing a lawsuit toll free at 866.306.2667 , or complete our quick contact web form.
