Q: Candidates who are given an offer of employment will typically be required to move to Washington, DC, often with only a few weeks' notice. Candidates are permitted to decline only one job offer. If the candidate declines a second job offer or cannot meet the training requirements a second time, his name is removed from the hiring register. Certain prior obligations, such as overseas deployment in the military, are permitted as reasonable eligibility for job appointment deferment. However, deferments are assessed on a case-by-case basis, and are rarely granted, even for highly-qualified candidates. For this reason, anyone wishing to work for the Department of State should be prepared to relocate for training and assignment on short notice. All new Foreign Service Officers are required to complete the A-100 course, a six-week training and orientation program. During that time FSOs receive enhanced skills training to meet the needs of their Foreign Service appointment. The specialized training a new FSO receives is determined by that officer's work assignment. FSOs who do not speak a foreign language may be required to attend an additional six to nine months of foreign language training, depending on the officer's work assignment. The overall training process for new officers can take up to one year before the officer is assigned to his overseas post.
A: Relocate to Washington, DC. Complete the A-100 course. Receive specialized training.

Q: " The net capitalized cost equals your negotiated selling price minus any down payment and any other credits (such as the value of a trade-in or factory rebate). If the dealer agrees to pay off the balance of the loan on your existing car, add that loan balance to the selling price. For example, let's say the negotiated selling price of the car is $26,000. Subtract a down payment of $1,000 and a trade-in value of $3,000 = $22,000. The dealer then agrees to pay off the balance of the loan on your existing car at $5,000, so that equals a $27,000 net capitalized cost. The dealer may provide this number or may provide you with a residual percentage. To calculate the residual value, multiply the sticker price of the car by the residual percentage. For example, $30,000 sticker price X 55% residual percentage = $16,500 residual value. Remember that depreciation isn't a straight line it is usually accelerated in the first five years, particularly in the first year. Your car may depreciate by 20% or more in the first year, After the first five years, most cars have depreciated by 60% on average. Then subtract the residual value from the net capitalized cost. Divide the resulting number by the number of payments. The result is the depreciation portion of the lease payment. For example, you lease a new car for three years. The sticker price of the car is $30,000, you negotiate a purchase price of $26,000, you make a cash down payment of $1,000 and you trade in your old car for a credit of $3,000. There is no loan balance due on your current car. The dealer tells you the residual value at the end of the lease will be 55% of the sticker price. The net capitalized cost = $26,000 - $1,000 - $3,000 = $22,000. The residual value = $30,000 x 55% = $16,500. The number of monthly payments = 3 years x 12 months/year = 36. Depreciation fee = ($22,000 - $16,500) / 36 = $152.78.
A: Calculate the "net capitalized cost. Determine the residual value of the car at the end of the lease. Identify the number of the monthly payments on the lease.

Q: One of the more common symptoms of piriformis syndrome is pain felt in the buttocks, where the piriformis is located. If you consistently feel sharp pain in one of your buttocks, you may have piriformis syndrome. Other pain to look out for that could indicate this condition includes: Pain when sitting, standing, or lying down for longer than 15 to 20 minutes. Pain radiating down the back of your thigh, and sometimes into the back of the calf and into the foot. Pain that improves when you move around and gets worse when you sit still. Pain that is not completely relieved by a change of position. Groin and pelvic pain. This may include pain in the labia for women and pain in the scrotum for men. Dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse) in women. Painful bowel movements. The compression of your sciatic nerve caused by piriformis syndrome can cause difficulty walking. Your leg may feel weakened as well. The two main things to look for when experiencing difficulty walking include: Antalgic gait, which means a gait that develops to avoid pain. This usually leads to limping or shortening your gait to keep from feeling pain. Foot drop, which is when your forefoot drops without your control because of pain in your lower leg. You may not be able to pull the foot up towards your face. When your sciatic nerve becomes compressed due to piriformis syndrome, you may begin to feel a numb or tingling sensation in your foot or leg. These sensations, or "paraesthesias," may present as "pins and needles," numbness, or tingling.
A:
Monitor the source, type, and intensity of pain. Evaluate your gait. Take note of tingling or numbness.
