Good cognitive control is saying that you have control of your mind and that you do not easily jump to conclusions, you take your time and think out problems before reacting. It has to do with using your mind effectively.

How long it take for a air traffic control job?

i did six years in the navy and now looking for a air traffic control job. i received my CTO in the navy and went to faa.gov and filed out a applicant online for all the terminal spots. i got two kids and would like to know how long it takes to get picked up?How long it take for a air traffic control job?
There is a new push on to hire controllers in the FAA. The new program is designed to process a new applicant in 45 days. This is a great improvement over the 14 months it took me in 1982-1983. Here's a number I got off of the FAA website (1-866-835-5322). If this isn't the one, they can steer you in the right direction.How long it take for a air traffic control job?
It shouldn't take them long to call you. I'm not sure how the process works if you were in the armed forces. I completed my ATC training in college. Once i was done I needed a letter of recommendation from the aviation chair of my school and I received a date for my written exam from the faa. Once you complete the test it is a matter of weeks before they call you for your training in Oklahoma city (faa headquarters.) You should call them and get more information.

What does it mean when the service ride control light and service needed soon mean? I have a 1994caddyeldorado?

This is a 1994 cadillac Eldorado's, and I took it to auto zone and they said they don't put the code machine on anything younger than 1996. Thank You!What does it mean when the service ride control light and service needed soon mean? I have a 1994caddyeldorado?
The service ride control means there is a problem with the air suspension system. There is an air pump, a height sensor and adjustable struts.


The service needed soon is a maintenance reminder.


Get under the vehicle and check for broken/rubbed through air lines.


On a vehicle that old the air pump could also be bad.What does it mean when the service ride control light and service needed soon mean? I have a 1994caddyeldorado?
On an Eldorado you might have the hydraulic ride system that controls all four struts. The struts are as high as $600 a piece and there's typically no aftermarket on this particular item so you have to buy from the dealership.





If you just have the rear air shocks on it then there is aftermarket shocks that will fit it and less then $100 a pair with new thin plastic air line included.





There's a ride sensor under the right rear side of the car that can be adjusted to make the car ride lower or higher and I imagine this sensor can be damaged or wear out. This send the signal to the small air compressor located near the master cylinder/brake booster under the hood. This little compressor can wear out.





I'd look at all four struts very carefully to figure out of you have the four wheel hydraulic ride system or just the rear wheel pneumatic (air ride) shocks. If you see any kind of thin tube going into the front struts then you have the hydraulic system. Always look for leaks as this can affect both air and hydraulic ride systems and is cheaper to repair than replacing unnecessay parts.





You don't have to have an automatic air ride system. I put one on a Buick years ago and had the valve stem put under the bumper or license plate area and used any air-compressor to pump it up if I had a heavy load in the trunk and let the air out if riding light. I think Gabriel makes the air shocks that fit many different cars including Cadillac. Check JC Whitney online or AutoZone or Advance Auto or O'Reilly's Auto or PepBoys.





Good Luck!

  • Im taking birth control but may be pregnant? if i take a test will the birth control allow it to be accurate?

    that's pretty much what i wanna know. i had unprotected sex july 4th, i had skipped a couple pills around that time. im still taking birth control and may be pregnant. and my period is due in about 2 weeksIm taking birth control but may be pregnant? if i take a test will the birth control allow it to be accurate?
    yea it will detect if you are pregnant. if u skipped a couple of pills u should be okay. i think u cant skip more than like 4.Im taking birth control but may be pregnant? if i take a test will the birth control allow it to be accurate?
    Birth control will not affect the results at all. It is a bit early to test, though, if your period isn't even due for two more weeks.

    If you have OCD (specifically with intrusive thoughts), how do keep your anxiety that it causes under control?

    I was just wondering if any of you have ways of coping, such as exercising, reading, or whatever helps you the most?If you have OCD (specifically with intrusive thoughts), how do keep your anxiety that it causes under control?
    take your med, go for a run, do something fun w/ people


    your comfy around, study for a test, just distract yourselfIf you have OCD (specifically with intrusive thoughts), how do keep your anxiety that it causes under control?
    I tackle 1 OCD symptom at a time. Understand that it'll take about 90 consecutive days to break an OCD habit.





    So patience is a huge discipline to master first. You need to be patient with your compulsions or else you'll just feel frustrated and give up on resolving them.





    Here's a great article on how to naturally overcome OCD:

    I tell myself it's not me having these thoughts, but a glitch in my brain that is making me feel this way.

    If i start taking birth control today when is it okay to start having sex?

    and the pill be in affect.


    a week 2 weeks?????If i start taking birth control today when is it okay to start having sex?
    Read the instructions that are included with the Pill.Usually you need to start taking the birth control on the first day of your next period and you are protected from pregnancy straight away.Good luck and if you are still unsure consult a doctor!





    Pinkrocks this is not a moral question,she needs practical help not your judgement!If i start taking birth control today when is it okay to start having sex?
    Ask your doctor.
    after you're married
    It takes a month to be fully effective.
    You realize by only using birth control pills you are only protecting yourself from having a child, right? There are MANY other reasons to use a condom. Sexually transmitted diseases are ALL OVER the place...very easy to contract...and once you get one, you may never be able to get rid of it, or it may affect your fertility down the road, mental well-being, etc. Use a condom (along with the pill).......
    it depends on the kind. i was on one kind of pill and it took two weeks before it took effect... but the second one i took after that didn't take effect until two weeks later. the doctor you get it from should be able to tell you, but it really depends on what kind it is.

    I have IBS and bloat most of the time, i cant really control it.?

    My bloating occurs everytime i eat a substantial meal or drink anything. i eat healthily, take peppermints tablets and try to drink water as much as pos, but nothing seems to help. Im going on holiday soon and i dun want a bloated belly on the beach! any ideas what can help? stop me from bloating?I have IBS and bloat most of the time, i cant really control it.?
    You may want to get tested for food allergies/intolerances. Lactose intolerance and gluten intolerance can cause bloating and also mimic the symptoms of IBS. A lot of people are diagnosed with IBS, and then later find out that they have an intolerance.I have IBS and bloat most of the time, i cant really control it.?
    ugh! so do I! Infact, I just had lunch about an hour ago and I still feel like crap. I like to take Diurex sometimes if its really bad. it releases water retention. You will pee a lot though. And I don't know if this is just me, but the ONLY thing I can eat that doesn't make me feel bloated and yucky afterward is Sushi.
