Yes! I was somewhat shocked that the VA finally gave me a mere 10% disability for Type II diabetes. I submitted a massive medical file from a local clinic for several other medical concerns. They called a set me an appointment for a contract VA clinic and then then called two weeks later to say they had cancelled it and the lady stated that she would call me to reschedule my appointment and I am still waiting. Anyway, they pretend they care but the jury is out on that. Best of luck on dealing with “Big Government”!

Veterans find healing working with horses - VA News
The idea behind the program was bringing Veterans in from the Veterans Recovery Center, part of Tennessee Valley VA in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
Through interactions and learning about the behaviors of horses, Veterans could learn about themselves through their development in class.
“I know that you are not defined by chronic illness or physical disability but it can demoralize you and cause you to give up. This class with horses showed me that I can still achieve and I can still dream,” Parchetta said.
CERV allows Veterans from Tennessee Valley VA to break through their own mental and health barriers to improve their own lives. According to CERV, horses mirror their guide or rider and provide a physical reflection of a Veteran’s emotions. With this feedback, a Veteran can better see, process and work through their behaviors.
“The program is set up to safely assist and encourage Veterans to succeed in overcoming some of the fears we might have of large animals or horses but also to build our self-confidence and learn to trust others and ourselves again,” said Lee Farris, who has been a part of CERV since 2023.
“She expected me to do my part.”
“My horse Penny showed me patience,” said Parchetta who has been a part of CERV since 2024. “She wasn’t judgmental, but expected me to do my part with confidence. The staff were the experts and took their time to ensure I was confident.”
Confidence, patience and courage are vital skills that are tantamount to VA’s Whole Health service. CERV works with the recreational therapy portion of Whole Health. The class walks Veterans through classroom and hands-on demonstrations. How to groom, care for and get to know the horse are part of the initial few weeks of the 10-week program. Veterans learn how to walk and guide their horses while dismounted and then how to lead their horses through various obstacles.
“It makes you trust in yourself.”
“You have to work as a team with your horse emotionally and physically for it to work,” said Parchetta. “When trusting in this amazing animal, it makes you trust in yourself and rediscover things in yourself you thought were lost.”

Well Being Programs & Resources
Components of Proactive Health and Well-Being
The Components of Proactive Health and Well-Being picture will help you think about your whole health. All of the areas in the circle are important. They are all connected. Improving one area can benefit other areas in your life and influence your overall physical, emotional, and mental health and well-being. The human body and mind have tremendous healing abilities and we can strengthen these healing abilities.
The inner circle represents you, your values and what really matters to you. Being in a state of mindful awareness helps you see what matters to you. The next circle is your self-care. These are the circumstances and choices you make in your everyday life. The next ring represents professional care you receive. Professional care may include tests, medications, supplements, surgeries, examinations, treatments, and counseling. This also includes complementary approaches such as acupuncture and mind-body therapies. The outer ring represents the people and groups to whom you are connected.
The Circle of Health
The Circle of Health illustrates the big picture connections between your health and other aspects of your life. Whole health opens the door to discuss not only your health conditions, but the things that impact your well-being.

Me
The innermost circle represents each of us as unique individuals. We start at the middle saying, “I am the expert on my life, values, goals, and priorities. Only I can know WHY I want my health. Only I can know what really matters to ME. And this knowledge needs to be what drives my health and my healthcare. I am the most important person when it comes to making choices that influence my health and well-being. I am the leader of my team, and my medical team professionals are some of the invited players.”

You’ll work full-time at a VA facility and follow a formal, individualized training plan under the supervision of an experienced preceptor.  
Gain the practical experience you need to graduate to more complex assignments and work under progressively less and less supervision. 
When you begin your training, you’ll work at VA in a GS-05 position, though over the course of your 2-year development, you may acquire the skills and training necessary to qualify for a GS-11 position. When your appointment is up, you may be placed in the facility where you interned or in another VA facility that needs your skills.  
Recruitment begins as early as March for appointments starting between the end of May and end of September. Opportunities are posted on USAJobs and can be found by searching TCF, Pathways, or Recent Graduates.   
For more information about TCF, contact VHATCFProgramManager@va.gov. 
Interested in human resources? Learn about our one-year HR-STAR training program.

I got into the VA through the Technical Career Field program. The TCF program allowed me to ease into the federal government structures and, at the end of the day, help patients.

The Mars Rovers | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
Other spacecraft, called landers, provide photos and information from their landing spots on the surface of Mars.
Rovers have wheels and specialize in moving around. They land on the surface of Mars and drive around to different spots.
Rovers help scientists in their quest to understand what different parts of the planet are made of. Mars is made up of lots of different types of rocks, and each rock is made up of a mixture of chemicals. A rover can drive around to different areas, studying the different chemicals in each rock. These chemicals can tell scientists something about the environments that changed that rock over time.

bolometric luminosity
The total energy radiated by an object at all wavelengths, usually given in joules per second (identical to watts).
Boltzmann constant; k (L. Boltzmann)
A constant which describes the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy for molecules in an ideal gas. It is equal to 1.380622 x 10-23 J/K (see scientific notation).
Brahe, Tycho (1546 - 1601)
(a.k.a Tyge Ottesen) Danish astronomer whose accurate astronomical observations of Mars in the last quarter of the 16th century formed the basis for Johannes Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Brahe lost his nose in a duel in 1566 with Manderup Parsberg (a fellow student and nobleman) at Rostock over who was the better mathematician. He died in 1601, not of a burst bladder as legend suggests, but from high levels of mercury in his blood (which he may have taken as medication after falling ill from the infamous meal).

 Show me a picture of Tycho Brahe!

bremsstrahlung
"Braking radiation", the main way very fast charged particles lose energy when traveling through matter. Radiation is emitted when charged particles are accelerated. In this case, the acceleration is caused by the electromagnetic fields of the atomic nuclei of the medium.

calibration
A process for translating the signals produced by a measuring instrument (such as a telescope) into something that is scientifically useful. This procedure removes most of the errors caused by environmental and instrumental instabilities.
calorimeter
An instrument that measures the energy of a particle or photon through the amount of heat the particle or photon deposits in a material.
cataclysmic variable (CV)
Binary star systems with one white dwarf star and one normal star, in close orbit about each other. Material from the normal star falls onto the white dwarf, creating a burst of X-rays.

A type of variable star which exhibits a regular pattern of changing brightness as a function of time.
