Up to 25 years of a fixed payment depending on loan debt volume.
Up to 25 years. The payments start out lower but then increase every two years. Total interest paid may be greater than plans with similar terms and fixed payments.
Similar to Income Contingent but offers lower payments and public service loan forgiveness. Based on loan debt, adjusted gross income and family size. You must be eligible for a partial financial hardship. Payments at 15 percent of discretionary income. After 25 years, any remaining balance on the loan will be forgiven, but under current law you will have to pay taxes on the amount forgiven.
Based on your adjusted gross income, family size, and loan debt. As your income increases or decreases, so do your payments. After 25 years, any remaining balance on the loan will be forgiven, but you may have to pay taxes on the amount forgiven.
Similar to Income Based Repayment but offers lower payments. It is based on your adjusted gross income, family size, and loan debt. You must be eligible for a partial financial hardship. Payments will be at 10 percent of discretionary income. After 20 years, any remaining balance on the loan will be forgiven, but under current law you will have to pay taxes on the amount forgiven. Eligible for federal public service loan forgiveness.
A repayment plan based on 10 percent of discretionary income. After 20 years of repayment for undergrad loans but 25 years for loans received during graduate or professional study, any remaining balance on the loan will be forgiven, but you should expect to pay taxes on the amount forgiven. A spouse's income is part of the equation as is family size. It is an eligible repayment plan for federal Public Interest Loan Forgiveness.
There are some complex issues to think about regarding federal student loan consolidation.
If you received a student loan disbursement prior to July 1, 2006, that Stafford loan has a variable rate, unless you consolidated it prior to July 1, 2007. For loans disbursed prior to July 1, 2006, the interest rate is variable, adjusted annually on July 1. The variable rate is based on the 91 Day Treasury Bill (as of the last auction prior to June 1) plus 1.7% during in school and grace period, or plus 2.3% in repayment, not to exceed 8.25%.
If you want to lock the variable rate or combine it with your fixed rate Stafford loans, you want to wait until about a month to two before your six month grace period ends before consolidating so you do not lose the remainder of your grace period (consolidation loans become due within 60 days after they are booked).
You will need to decide whether to only consolidate any variable rate loans separately or to consolidate them with your other fixed rate loans. Because consolidation uses the weighted average rounded up to the nearest one-eighth of a percent, it may be more advantageous to keep the low variable rate loan consolidated separately, but you may prefer to have only one consolidation loan with all your loans together.
The interest rate for federal loan consolidation is the weighted average of all the federal loans you wish to consolidate rounded up to the nearest eighth of a percent. As of July 1, 2013 there is no cap on the consolidation rate. The rate is then fixed for the life of the loan (10 - 30 years depending upon your debt load). Most lenders, including Direct Loans, offer a .25% interest rate reduction for automatic electronic payment. This perk to lower your interest rate is strongly encouraged.
Remember, if you have variable interest rate loans, the rates will change July 1 every year unless you consolidate. There will be an additional .6% added to the rate after the 6 month grace period ends; the repayment rate will be based on that higher rate if you do not consolidate.
A consolidation loan comes due 60 days after it is booked. See http://www.studentaid.ed.gov/repay-loans/consolidation for more information.
Direct Loans are eligible for public interest loan forgiveness after 120 on-time payments in eligible public interest work.
Direct Loans are eligible for REPAYE loan forgiveness after 25 years for graduate/professional loans (20 years for undergraduate loans), Pay As You Earn (PAYE) loan forgiveness after 20 years, Income Based Repayment (IBR), or Income Contingent (ICR) loan forgiveness after 25 years. At this time any balance forgiven is taxable except under Federal Public Interest Loan Forgiveness.
If you consolidate with Direct Loans and need a deferment, any subsidized portion of your loan will not accrue interest.
You will retain the repayment incentive you received at disbursement after 12 on-time payments for loans disbursed prior to July 1, 2012.
All your law school federal Stafford loans are through Direct Lending so the application process is simple.
For more information and to apply for a Direct Loan consolidation, please see https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/repay-loans/consolidation or call 800.557.7392.
Some private lenders offer repayment incentives in addition to the .25% automatic debit reduction that are attractive, such as a 1% interest rate discount after 20 to 48 month on-time payments or a 5% principle reduction, depending on the lender. These incentives are lost if payments are late and the benefit may be revoked under certain deferment situations. These days most of these lenders have eliminated these incentives and many lenders who used to offer consolidation no longer do so.
If you consolidate with a private lender, the Direct Loan origination fee rebate you received at disbursement (prior to July 1, 2012) will be added back in to your loan balance.
The basic information for May graduates applies to your situation as well. You will receive exit counseling information at the time of your graduation. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding your situation.
If you are no longer enrolled in school, you may consolidate through Direct Lending or through another lender in the FFEL program. If you did not consolidate previously, you may consolidate during your grace period or during repayment. Your loan will come due within 60 days after it is booked. Student loans may be deferred while enrolled at least half-time. If interested in the public interest forgiveness programs, you should consolidate with Direct Loans and may do so for the purposes of loan forgiveness.
Federal student loans include Stafford, Perkins, Grad PLUS, PLUS and SLS. You may consolidate undergraduate federal loans with your law school federal loans. If interested in the public interest or PAYE, REPAYE, or IBR forgiveness plans, do not include a parent PLUS in the consolidation (Grad PLUS is fine) or the loan will not be eligible.
If you have a federal Perkins loan, you may wish to consolidate for the convenience factor. Please consider carefully whether or not the convenience outweighs the fixed 5% interest rate. Depending upon the weighted average, it may or may not alter the consolidated fixed interest rate. Please note that there are some cancellation options related to the Perkins loan that may benefit you if you qualify (see https://www.mycampusloan.com/ ). If you consolidate you will lose these cancellation benefits. You will also pay more interest over the life of the loan if you consolidate the Perkins loan because the Perkins repayment period is 10 years. If you consolidate through lenders other than Direct Loans, the subsidized interest benefit for periods of deferment will no longer exist. Depending upon when you consolidate, you may lose most of the 9 month grace period. You have 180 days in which to add another loan to your consolidation loan.
The Grad PLUS loan may be consolidated with your Stafford loans and is eligible for public interest loan forgiveness (private loans are not). The interest rate is higher than the Stafford Loans so through consolidation it most likely will reduce the Grad PLUS rate somewhat but raise the overall Stafford rate. By how much will be dependent upon the weighted average – see Calculators below.
Note: A parent PLUS loan that is consolidated or paid off by consolidation would make all loans within that consolidation ineligible for the PAYE, IBR plan, and federal loan forgiveness. If interested in PAYE, REPAYE, or IBR loan forgiveness, do not consolidate a parent PLUS loan. A Grad PLUS is eligible.
If you have private (credit based) student loans, you cannot consolidate your private loans with your federal loans, but you may list them for total student loan indebtedness purposes – it will extend your repayment period.
Although you cannot consolidate private loans (Sallie Mae, Chase, Citibank, Discover, etc.) with your federal loans, there are some organizations out there encouraging you to do so. We strongly advise against this because it will convert your federal loans into a commercial loan and you will lose the federal deferment and forbearance options and federal tax benefits. If you want to consolidate your private loans from different lenders together after graduation, you may do so, but consolidating your private loans together does not fix the interest rate (if a fixed rate is offered, it is typically fairly high); it simply provides a consolidation of two or more separate lender bills into a single lender statement. Along with a credit check, you may end up paying origination fees and more interest or lose some deferment options that may be offered by specific private lenders, although you also may be able to find a better variable interest rate and improved repayment options.

The Story: Paul's conversion is a theme I keep coming back to. It's one of the most pivotal, dramatic moments in the book of Acts. God sure knows how to set up a scene, doesn't He?
Once I was learning rules and was burning with zeal, that was me.
A childhood conclusion, more a delusion that God would be pleased.
And when Steve died, I stood watching and held all their robes and agreed.
And my Pharisee world. Great I would be.
Christians were fair game and I'd snare them and treat 'em real rough.
Consent I was askin' to go to Damascus and round them all up.
Than my Pharisee world. Christ set me free.
Yeah, yeah, yeah! In my mind's eye, there's a vision of Heaven and how it will be.
Free from my Pharisee world, from my Pharisee world.
From my Pharisee world. Christ set me free.

Over 70 Translated Books Given to Parliament and the Government to Shake Up Italian Politics
A delegation from Strade (http://www NULL.traduttoristrade NULL.it/), Italian member-association of CEATL, delivered to the Senate building in Rome over 70 books in translation for just as many Italian politicians on December 15, 2020. Along with the books was an open letter to the President of the Italian Republic and parliamentary institutions, calling for the creation of a national fund supporting translations (modelled after the Deutscher Übersetzerfonds (DÜF)). The signatories of the document include Nobel Prize winners, Pulitzer Prize winners and authors of bestsellers from Italy and around the world (find the full list of signatories here (http://www NULL.traduttoristrade NULL.it/2020/appello-fondo-per-i-traduttori-italiani/)).
"The health crisis is impacting a profession which is already struggling to survive," Strade stated. "We would like to thank the institutions for their support during the COVID-19 crisis, but the perspective must now become structural and align Italy with Europe" (for previous landmark results of advocacy efforts by Italian translators and authors during the COVID-19 crisis see here).
This was therefore not a simple Christmas gift but a symbolic gesture to raise awareness among politicians: "Our profession is at risk," Strade went on, "but without literary translations, numerous works fundamental not only to our culture but also to our society as a whole would be lost, and Italy as we know it would be culturally impoverished. According to Nobel Prize winner Olga Tokarczuk, reading foreign works is a vaccine against preconceived, misleading worldviews."
The books selected and delivered included The Death of Jesus by John Maxwell Coetzee (translated by Maria Baiocchi) to President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella; Flights by Olga Tokarczuk (trans. Barbara Delfino) to Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte; Kafka on the Shore by Murakami Haruki (trans. Giorgio Amitrano) to Minister of Culture Dario Franceschini; as well as My Name Is Not Miriam by Majgull Axelsson (trans. Laura Cangemi); The History of Bees by Maja Lunde (trans. Giovanna Paterniti); Anna Karenina by Lev Tolstoj (trans. Claudia Zonghetti); A Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George (trans. Cristina Proto) and many others.
The books were delivered in collaboration with the L'Altracittà independent bookshop in Rome.

Gary Nicholls was born in Essex, England. He studied Design Technology and Technical drawing to B.ed level, and during that time he also took art classes where he learned that he had a natural eye, and could "see" something finished.
Two turning points, since buying his first DSLR led him to the Imaginarium concept. The first was when he subscribed to Adobe Photoshop, realizing that his drawing skills would be of huge benefit.
The second turning point came in September 2012 when he bought tickets for the Lincoln Steampunk Festival at the Asylum. It was the moment when he knew he had found his niche.
The idea of "The Imaginarium" was born from that meeting. Not since Hogarth with Rakes Progress has a story been told in fine art images. What started as a 20-image short story has grown into a 450 image trilogy with 150 genuine Steampunks involved, taking storytelling to a whole new level.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Your Pure Elements product has changed my life! How's that? I have a extremely rare "picky eater golden retriever with a sensitive stomach" so finding a food that didn't make him vomit or have loose stools was the first goal. And secondarily having him eat it. I used to mix gravy, canned food or people food into the various kibble products just to trick him into eating it. Then I tried Canidae products. We tried a couple of the life stages with limited results and then – Canidae Pure Elements. At last I have a quality dog food that I can scoop into a bowl and I don't have to add anything! He eats it all so I don't have to worry about his brother finishing it for him. After 3 years I finally have a solution. Even though your product is more expensive than most – I save on carpet cleaning, add-ins and time. Thank you!
Hank is soooo much happier (and healthier)!!
Hello, Canidae Crew! We have a 2-year-old Spinone/lab mix named Hank we adopted when he was a puppy.
Hello, Canidae Crew! We have a 2-year-old Spinone/lab mix named Hank we adopted when he was a puppy. We fed him Science Diet puppy, and then went on to adult. We found out he has food allergies not too long ago, as he had multiple ear and skin infections in the last few months. He would shed like crazy and keep us up at night with all of the itching and head shaking. We decided to give Canidae Grain-Free Pure Elements a try, since multiple people told us that their dogs had the same issue and switched to Canidae. He's soooo much happier (and healthier)!! He doesn't itch very often and his ears and skin are clear! And his coat: BEAUTIFUL! An added bonus: he loves the lamb flavor! Since it worked so well for Hank, we decided to make the switch for our 3-year-old cat, Gracie. Both of them are so happy and healthy! Thank you so much for making a food that we can trust and both of them enjoy!


Read part 2 in our series on sustainability metrics, indicators, and reporting: Where to Report and Why?
Transportation fuels generate greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollution emissions across their entire life cycle, not just when they leave the tailpipe. The life cycle emissions are referred to as the "well-to-wheels" emissions (or "seed-to-wheels" by the biofuel industry). Modeling these life cycle GHG emissions is challenging because there are numerous steps, inputs, and resources involved in making transportation fuels. But these modeling efforts are critical because it is important to compare the impacts of various fuels. Scientists at Argonne National Labs developed the GREET (Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy Use in Transportation) model to respond to this challenge. The model helps assign GHG or "carbon" intensity values for almost all fuels including ethanol, biodiesel, gasoline, or natural gas made from various feedstock such as corn, sugarcane, algae, and/or fossil fuels. It also allows users to model the GHGs from various vehicle and fuel combinations. EcoShift uses GREET to conduct life cycle assessments for clients who are interested in the "well-to-pump" carbon intensity (usually for fuel producers as required by various regulatory agencies) or the "well-to-wheels" carbon intensity (usually for policy makers, automobile manufacturers, or automobile fleet owners). The US Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board are just two regulatory agencies that use GREET to assign carbon intensity values to transportation fuels for the purposes of emissions trading schemes and to qualify as renewable or advanced biofuels. As low carbon fuel standards evolve, GREET will be a critical for demonstrating regulatory compliance. For more information, read about Alternative Fuels LCA, see our service offering on transportation fuels, or contact us.
This is the first in a three part series that EcoShift is writing for Sustainable Brands. These days more and more brands are eyeing the growing body of sustainability indicators, reporting frameworks, and certifications and wondering which to participate in and when to start. Cross-sector reporting frameworks like Global Reporting Initiative, Carbon Disclosure Project, B-Corp, and the Dow Jones Sustainability Index can apply to any type of business, and countless sector-specific organizations such as the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, the Sustainable Food Trade Association, the Electronic Industry Code of Conduct, and the Sustainability Consortium are continuously emerging and evolving definitions of corporate sustainability. Clearly, there is value to measuring environmental impact, but is it worth taking the time to fulfill the requirements of one standard only to see it be replaced by a new standard three years down the road? How do you make the decision? The answer is actually to ask a different question. Instead of – which standard should I comply with – the question should be – what am I trying to achieve by measuring my impact? By answering this question, the right metrics emerge, and assessing the suitability of any existing program, standard, or certification to meet those goals becomes easier. This is the first in a series of three articles that addresses these questions and will help you begin to solve the riddle for yourself. In this article, we'll look at the range of sustainability performance indicators to help get some focus on the goals of measurement. The second article looks a several sector-level efforts to refine these indictors as way of exploring the maturity of existing standards and certifications. The last article will be devoted to supply chain sustainability performance indicators, since this frontier in corporate sustainability is the least clearly defined. The questions of what to measure and under which standards is so fitting because standardization and reporting in corporate sustainability is nearing a tipping point…. but it isn't there yet. I'll illustrate this point by taking a look at the targets and types of sustainability performance indictors. What Do You Target? The target of an indictor can be a product, an organization, or a supply chain. Choosing your target depends on what you are trying to accomplish through measurement. For example, if you are marketing your product as a more sustainable alternative to a competing product, product-level indicators are critical. Product-level indicators are more complex to calculate than others, and, especially if you sell a large number of products, may be cost-prohibitive to measure and track. The Sustainability Consortium is working on streamlining this process, at least for some product categories, but their results are still a long ways off. Click here to read the rest of this article.
Dr. Dustin Mulvaney is leading EcoShift's LCA team on a project to measure the carbon intensity of ethanol produced in upstate New York by Sunoco, Inc. Carbon intensity is a measure of the amount of greenhouse gases emitted along the life cycle of transportation fuel production. It is an important metric because it allows for apples-to-apples comparisons of greenhouse gases emissions (GHGs) from burning different kinds of fuels. Canadian tar sands, for example, have a relatively high carbon intensity compared to gasoline, while that of ethanol is typically lower than gasoline – although it can sometimes be higher! By focusing on lowering carbon intensities of transportation fuels, we can move people and goods around while releasing fewer GHGs. Carbon intensity is also becoming an important metric for transportation fuel providers subject to new rules throughout North America. The California Air Resources Board is leading efforts to regulate carbon intensity through its Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), and similar policies are being pursued by 11 Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states, as well as Ontario and British Columbia. California's law says that the life cycle carbon intensity — or the total greenhouse gas emissions per unit of energy — of transportation fuels must be reduced by 10% by 2020. Providers of transportation fuels who do not meet the requirements will have to purchase permits to make up the difference from those who perform better than the requirements. Hence, if you are producing green transportation fuels—ethanol from corn, biodiesel from waste grease, biobutanol from algae—measuring carbon intensity is or will be critical to your operations. Lower carbon fuels will have higher financial value than higher carbon fuels in regulatory systems designed like California's LCFS. One of the challenges of producing sustainable ethanol is that it requires a significant amount of energy inputs to make ethanol. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will not permit any new ethanol production unless the life cycle carbon intensity from ethanol is 20% better than gasoline. Energy inputs for processing ethanol can be as much as one third of the overall energy in the final ethanol product. Thus, it is essential that ethanol production maximize all energy efficiency opportunities. For these reasons, EcoShift's LCA team is collecting data on ethanol production, energy use, farming practices, and corn and fuel transportation to measure the carbon intensity of an innovative new process at Sunoco's facility and identify opportunities to further reduce carbon intensity. EcoShift's analysis will show where ethanol facilities can invest in innovative new processes, local feedstock sourcing, and energy efficiency upgrades to reduce the carbon intensity of ethanol, which should translate into a more profitable facility in the long term as new rules for carbon intensity compliance take root. Contact Dr. Dustin Mulvaney (dmulvaney@ecoshift.com) for more information about Life Cycle Analysis, or download our LCA or PathwayShift brochures on how we measure the life cycle carbon intensity of transportation fuels.
It should come as no surprise that the large majority of environmental impact takes place outside a company's physical boundaries. Greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) reporting probably gives us the best estimate of this; the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) estimates that over 50% of an entity's greenhouse gas emissions are indirect 'Scope 3' emissions, while AT Kearny says the number is closer to 80% (source: CDP 2011 Supply Chain Report). In this article, we look at why so many companies are now addressing sustainability in the supply chain, and what approaches are used to reduce environmental impact in the supply chain. We use AMD, a Chamber BCLC Environmental Innovation Network member, as a case study, which reports that 63% of total GHGs are Scope 3, over 90% of which comes from the supply chain. (The rest comes from business travel and employee commutes; see this page for more information or the AMD 2010 Corporate Responsibility Report.) Even the most far-reaching climate legislation, either passed or proposed, recognizes that supply chain emissions are not the legal responsibility of a firm. So why are so many companies beginning to measure and manage supply chains for sustainability? The reasons are simple. First, many companies are feeling pressure from a wide array of stakeholders, including consumers, shareholders, retailers and nonprofits. Second, a sustainable supply chain is an efficient supply chain, so improving supply chain performance can provide multiple benefits to a firm by saving money while reducing impact. Despite the high impact of supply chains and the potential benefits from addressing them, most companies have still not looked closely at the issue. CDP reports that, of the 57 companies participating in their supply chain initiative, 87% have GHG reduction targets but only 45% of these include supply chains. Which companies are diving in? From our experience, companies that have a high level of accountability to stakeholders and have more public visibility are feeling more pressure to act. In addition, companies that can more easily influence their suppliers find it easier to act and reap the benefits. So when companies are insulated from stakeholders or when supply chains are unruly, large, or often in flux, implementing a deep sustainability program isn't easy. Read the rest of this article on the US Chamber of Commerce BCLC Website.
Focusing on transparent, operational metrics can address these problems . A metrics approach allows a company to be transparent. Performance metrics can be readily communicated to the public, like an eco-label, and they also carry real information to the customer. Sustainability metrics also work as reliable benchmarks from which all potential actions can be compared, strategy can be assessed, and a course can be set – both environmentally and financially. With a clear vision, strategy, and concise metrics, decision makers can easily identify the right actions to pursue.

Corrie Church, church and graveyard
A Scheduled Monument in Annandale North, Dumfries and Galloway
OS Grid: NY197842
Mapcode National: GBR 58NY.W1
Mapcode Global: WH6XF.WXH8
Entry Name: Corrie Church, church and graveyard
Scheduled Date: 24 March 2010
Source ID: SM12764
Category: Crosses and carved stones: tombstone; Ecclesiastical: church
Location: Hutton and Corrie
County: Dumfries and Galloway
Electoral Ward: Annandale North
Traditional County: Dumfriesshire
The monument comprises the former parish church of Corrie and the associated burial ground. The church is visible above ground as a low platform and the surrounding burial ground contains three recumbent medieval graveslabs and many later upstanding gravemarkers, some from the 17th and 18th centuries. Initial construction of the church may date to as early as the 12th century. The building went out of use in 1609 when the parishes of Corrie and Hutton were joined, though burials continued in the graveyard. The burial ground is bounded by a stone perimeter wall. It lies about 85m south-east of Corriehills at the top of a gentle east-facing slope at around 200m above sea level.
Traces of turf covered footings, up to 1.8m wide and 0.2m high, and a low platform indicate the position of the church. Together, they define a building footprint measuring 26m east-west by up to 7.4m transversely. A cluster of late 17th- and 18th-century gravemarkers lies to the south of this area, respecting its S side, suggesting that the church was still a significant feature at that time. Architectural fragments found at the site include a fragment of cusped tracery, rebated for glazing, indicating that the building had glazed windows. Many of these fragments are incorporated within the perimeter wall. The medieval stones in the graveyard include a coped grave cover of a type which may be a later development of the hogback, a cross-bearing gravestone with calvary base of probable late 13th-century or 14th-century date known as the 'Dragon Stone' and a slab decorated with a sword with depressed quillons and a lozenge-shaped pommel. The 17th- and 18th-century gravemarkers include several fine examples, one bearing the date 1710.
The area to be scheduled is rectangular on plan to include the remains described and an area around within which evidence relating to the monument's construction, use and abandonment may survive, as shown in red on the accompanying map. The scheduled area extends up to and includes the perimeter wall of the graveyard, but specifically excludes the post-and-wire fence just outside the perimeter wall.
The monument's cultural significance can be expressed as follows:

Because Corrie Church fell into disuse in 1609, its remains have not been disturbed by the repeated post-Reformation rebuilding that has taken place on the sites of many medieval churches in the region. Thus, although traces of the building are visible only as low footings and a platform, they represent a significant survival. In addition, the abandonment of the church means that there is excellent potential for the survival of significant structural remains below ground level. Such remains could allow us to reconstruct the form of the church and understand any modifications made to the building during the Middle Ages. Archaeological features may also reveal the presence of other associated remains related to the church but since removed.
The graveyard is likely to contain interments deriving from a prolonged period of use, perhaps spanning six or seven hundred years. This represents a potential source of information about the inhabitants of a small rural community, which would allow changes in stature and pathology to charted over time. The medieval grave slabs associated with the burial ground confirm that the church and graveyard were present by the late 13th or 14th centuries, although the founding of the church may be earlier still. The graveslabs are also valuable in their own right. The coped grave cover probably represents a medieval development of the hogback, a type of monument originally associated with the Scandinavian settlements of the 10th century. The 'Dragon Stone' is more impressive and represents an ornate Calvary Cross, the upper face carved in low relief with the cross rising from a semi-circular calvary. Although broken, one of the other medieval graveslabs is an interesting example of a slab-bearing weapons. These stones have the potential to support further study of the art-historical development of medieval funerary monuments. The 17th- and 18th-century gravemarkers are also of high quality and can support study of the evolution of funerary monuments after the Reformation.
Contextual characteristics
Corrie Church formed part of a network of parish churches that covered later medieval Scotland, serving as central place for worship, prayer, baptism and burial for the local community. However, it is one of only 39 parish churches in the east of the former county of Dumfriesshire that were in use at the Reformation, none of which survive intact. It can be compared with three churches surviving as upstanding ruins (Dalton, Little Dalton and St Mungo), and with others visible as footings (Unthank and Drumgree). Such comparison of these buildings with other Scottish churches may enhance our understanding of regional variety in church buildings in the Middle Ages.
Scottish medieval recumbent monuments are a relatively small and little studied group. Coped gravestones are probably a later development of hogback monuments and are represented elsewhere in the region only at Annan, Dornoch and Gretna Green. The Calvary Cross is one of the two finest in the region, the other being at Carruthers. The slab with sword is again part of a select group in the area, comparable monuments being known at Wauchope, Kirklands and Hoddom. Taken together, this represents a rare and informative group of later medieval stones, further enhanced by the presence of fine post-Reformation gravemarkers.
Associative characteristics
Documentary sources refer to the patronage of Corrie Church in 1516. The Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map marks 'Corrie Church Yard (Remains of)' and depicts a rectangular area within the burial ground which may correspond to the footprint of the church building. This feature had apparently disappeared by the time of the 2nd edition map, though the site was marked 'Corrie Church (Site of)'.
Corrie lies within the Annan Valley, where the de Brus (Bruce) Lordship was established in the 12th century by Robert the Bruce's father. The effect lordship on the emerging parish structure is unknown but a number of churches may have originated as proprietorial foundations at that time.
National Importance
The monument is of national importance because it has an inherent potential to make a significant addition to the understanding of the past, in particular to the study of medieval ecclesiastical architecture, religious practices and the development of funerary monuments in Dumfries and Galloway. The footings of the church are an important survival of a later medieval structure not disturbed by post-Reformation remodelling and the footprint may reveal important information about the layout and development of the building. The stones within the burial ground are important for our understanding of the form, nature and development of medieval commemorative burial markers in south-west Scotland and across northern Britain as a whole. They retain important and relatively well-preserved decorative features and provide evidence for the early date and importance of this church. There is a potential for the monument to contribute to our understanding of human pathology and local genealogy. Spatial analysis of this and other contemporary religious monuments may reveal valuable information on the layout and patterns of pre-Reformation religious sites within the landscape. The loss of the monument would impede our understanding of medieval church architecture at regional and national levels and would affect our ability to understand the history and development of burial fashions in the medieval and later periods across northern Britain.

Exploration geophysics is an applied branch of geophysics, which uses physical methods, such as seismic, gravitational, magnetic, electrical and electromagnetic at the surface of the Earth to measure the physical properties of the subsurface, along with the anomalies in those properties.
Mineral Exploration Using Modern Techniques Mineral exploration method varies as it is the discipline of engineers trained in mining engineering to determine the safest, efficient and cost effective technique of mineral mining.
Satellite Remote Sensing for Mineral Deposit Assessment of Clay in 2Department of Geography, Adamawa State University, Mubi, Nigeria. Abstract The conventional method for hydrothermal altered/Mineral deposits using Lands at TM image is an vegetation coverage, lithology and mineral exploration.
The purpose of mineral exploration is the discovery and acquisition of new mineral deposit amenable to economic extractive operations now or in future. The prime objective of mineral exploration is to find and acquire a maximum number of such economic mineral deposits at a minimum cost and within minimum time.
Mineral exploration is a much more intensive, organized and professional form of mineral prospecting and, though it frequently uses the services of prospecting, the process of mineral exploration on the whole is much more involved.
Exploration and evaluation expenditures are expenditures incurred in connection with the exploration and evaluation of mineral resources before the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource is demonstrable.
Gypsum Mineral Resources In Nigeria - States Deposits And Uses. Gypsum Mineral - Nigeria, West Africa is blessed with Gypsum rich states and has about 1 billion tons of gypsum deposited in Adamawa, Anambra, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Benue, Borno, Delta, Edo, Gombe, Imo, Kogi, Ondo, and Sokoto.
deposits have been found. The mineral spread in Nigeria is sig nificant with evidence of 34 different minerals distributed in Nigeria's richly endowed geology.
geophysical methods in exploration and mineral environmental. In the following discussion, the applicability of geophysical methods to geoenvironmental studies of ore deposits is reviewed.
Feldspar are formed in rocks and Nigeria is a country with numerous rock deposits, thus Feldspar deposits can be found in Ajaokuta LGA in Kogi, Abia, Ogun and Ondo State. Feldspar is regarded as the most abundant group of minerals which can be found on the earth's crust.
As in oil exploration (e.g., Babcock, 1973, 1974; Edwards et al., 1998; Lyatsky et al., 2005), of significant interest can be the distribution and age of brittle faults and fractures, capable of conducting mineral-bearing fluids from which ore deposits are sometimes precipitated.
Oil and Gas Exploration is a valuable resource for exploration geophysicists, petroleum engineers, geoengineers, petrologists, mining engineers, and economic geologists, who will gain insights into exploring new methods involved in finding natural resources from our Earth.
Exploration for mineral deposits – global trends Expenditure on exploration in Australia, for example, reached a peak in 2008, which reflects a massive increase in exploration for iron ore resources and, to a lesser extent, coal resources.
The large mining companies of the world are focused in big deposits and the small deposits are attractive for small miners and perhaps their interest for gold is the most valuable tool for exploring new deposits.
2Department of Geography, Adamawa State University, Mubi, Nigeria Abstract The conventional method for hydrothermal altered/Mineral deposits using Lands at TM image is an effective tool in the field of Remote Sensing.
Mining industry of Nigeria. ... Rights to ownership of mineral resources is held by the Federal government of Nigeria, which grants titles to organizations to explore, mine, and sell mineral resources. ... Nigeria has several deposits of iron ore, but the purest deposits are in and around Itakpe in Kogi State.


Hillary Rodham Clinton, admired and attacked as a strong woman in her own country, came to Pakistan today to admire and consult with another one: Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who greeted the First Lady at a luncheon for prominent women with a sisterly joke on the perils of power.
"The First Lady does not know it, but according to newspapers in Pakistan, Mr. Asif Zardari is de facto prime minister of the country," Ms. Bhutto said, referring to her husband, who is often painted as a sinister threat behind the throne and who had met Mrs. Clinton's plane on her arrival in a driving rain 12 hours earlier. "He says, 'Only the First Lady can appreciate it's not true.' "
In fact, Mrs. Clinton's first stop on her 12-day, five-nation official visit to South Asia was a study in the subtle role of spouse without portfolio. In her biggest solo venture since the collapse of her health care plan last year, she is re-introducing herself as a First Lady not only of the land but also of the world, wading into a region thick with the geopolitical goo of nuclear proliferation, financial aid and human rights abuses.
Mrs. Clinton's aides said most of those issues had come up, at least elliptically, in a 25-minute private talk with Ms. Bhutto, but Mrs. Clinton did not raise them. And the First Lady's staff made it clear that such an agenda is the stuff of Ms. Bhutto's scheduled meeting with Mr. Clinton in Washington next month. The Prime Minister is likely to try once again to assure Washington that her country is not trying to develop nuclear weapons, the possibility of which has been the main irritant in American-Pakistani relations and has led to a Congressional ban on any new aid since 1990.
On this trip to Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, Mrs. Clinton is determined to emphasize what she calls "the human issues" of health, education and social progress, especially for women and children in a place of dreadful poverty. Those causes are no less complex if slightly less controversial than some others she has taken on, and consistent with her interests over the last 25 years.
After praising the uphill efforts of Ms. Bhutto (Radcliffe, '73) to improve the lot of women and encourage family planning in a country where the average woman bears six children and is restricted to the role of wife and mother, Mrs. Clinton (Wellesley, '69) added "a particular word of thanks for your emphasis on children."
"It is an emphasis that is the most important in my personal opinion, because by investing in the education and health of children, we are saying that the future is worthwhile, that every child will be given the opportunity to live up to his or her God-given potential," Mrs. Clinton told the group of about 60 women in the Prime Minister's official residence in the shadow of the Margalla Hills above the city.
Minutes later, as if to make that point, Mrs. Clinton strolled the grounds with her daughter, Chelsea, Ms. Bhutto and two of her children. Then the Clintons paid their respects to Islam by visiting the cavernous Faisal Mosque, financed by the Saudi royal family beginning in the 1970's, where Secret Service agents in stocking feet kept a respectful distance and Chelsea, who is on spring vacation from school where she has been studying Islam in 10th grade history class, asked well-informed questions.
For her part, Ms. Bhutto said: "I and the rest of the people of Pakistan have been utterly fascinated by the First Lady's heroic efforts to substantively restructure the responsibilities of the office of First Lady, and to provide caring and sensitive leadership on the key social issues of the modern era. Women who take on tough issues and stake out new territory are often on the receiving end of ignorance."

Lawsuit seeks to block Wisconsin crime victims amendment
By: Associated Press	December 19, 2019 1:43 pm
By SCOTT BAUER
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A lawsuit filed on Thursday seeks to block a statewide vote on a ballot question that would amend the Wisconsin Constitution to expand crime victims' rights, arguing that the proposal is deceptive and a threat to the rights of the accused.
The proposed amendment was approved with broad bipartisan support by the Wisconsin Legislature and is to appear on the April 7 ballot for voter approval. If passed, the state constitution would then be amended to include new victims' rights.
Known as Marsy's Law, the amendment would largely duplicate existing victim protections but would go further in several ways. An advocate of the law in Wisconsin, Teri Jendusa-Nicolai, called the lawsuit a "slap in the face" for crime survivors.
"This to me is a last-ditch effort to take away the rights of crime victims," she said.
The lawsuit filed by the Wisconsin Justice Initiative and three voters alleges that the question is invalid and unconstitutional and should not be on the April ballot. It asks a judge to prevent the Wisconsin Elections Commission from submitting the question for a vote.
Ten states — California, Ohio, Illinois, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nevada, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida — have enacted a version of the law. It is named for Marsalee "Marsy" Nicholas, a California woman who was killed in 1983 by her ex-boyfriend after he was released from jail without her being notified.
Montana voters passed a Marsy's Law in 2016 that the state Supreme Court later overturned, citing flaws in how it was written. One of the claims in the lawsuit makes similar accusations about the Wisconsin ballot language.
In Wisconsin, when the Legislature proposes a constitutional amendment, it submits a paragraph, to appear on the ballot, explaining what the amendment would do. The lawsuit claims that the paragraph lawmakers submitted for the crime-victims amendment fails to adequately explain the new rights it would extend.
Because the Legislature did not fully explain the amendment, it would be unlawful to place it on the ballot for a vote, the lawsuit said.
"Voters are being asked to vote on a single sentence that doesn't remotely begin to describe what Marsy's Law is and what it does," said Craig Johnson, board president of the Wisconsin Justice Initiative, in a statement. "It may sound reasonable. But the question masks a proposed amendment twice the length of the U.S. Bill of Rights."
Jendusa-Nicolai defended the ballot language wording, noting that it was written by nonpartisan attorneys employed by the Legislature.
The lawsuit also claims that the new rights to be given crime victims would infringe on the constitutional rights of the accused. The lawsuit further claims that the amendment would expand the definition of crime victims to include people who weren't previously constitutionally considered to be crime victims. The lawsuit argues that the amendment presents more than one question to voters, and presenting it as just one is unlawful.
Under the amendment, victims would have the right to be heard at plea, parole and revocation proceedings, the right to refuse defense attorneys' requests for interview, depositions or discovery, and the right to attend all proceedings in their cases.
The amendment has broad bipartisan support. It was endorsed by both Republican former Attorney General Brad Schimel and current Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat.
Nearly 400 organizations and poeple have endorsed it.

MilfordMD Receives the 2016 Presidential Associate Award from Galderma
MilfordMD Cosmetic Dermatology Surgery & Laser Center Receives the 2016 Presidential Associate Award from Galderma
Cosmetic Surgeon and Medical Director of MilfordMD Cosmetic Dermatology Surgery & Laser Center, in Milford, Penn., Dr. Richard Buckley was awarded the 2016 Galderma Presidential Associate Award for leading trends in aesthetic injectables. There's good reason that cosmetic filler injections targeting patients' biggest aging concerns—from lines and wrinkles to volume loss–are a favorite nonsurgical cosmetic option among women and men. Today's improved formulations of hyaluronic acid and other fillers have resulted in longer lasting, more targeted products that can, in the span of a lunchtime office visit, rejuvenate aging patients' faces.
Cosmetic Surgeon and Medical Director, Dr. Richard Buckley of MilfordMD Cosmetic Dermatology Surgery & Laser Center, in Milford, Penn., was awarded the 2016 Galderma Presidential Associate Award for leading trends in aesthetic injectables.
"We've come a long way since the days of collagen fillers. We've gone from having one tool, a pencil perhaps, to do only sketches. Now, we have a full palette of colors and brushes that allow us to use different brush strokes to create true works of art."
"Gone are the days when the only thing we had to offer patients were collagen fillers. Bovine collagen products have long been off the market; yet, many patients still ask for these fillers by name," says Dr. Buckley. "The older collagen fillers didn't last long, at most, three to five months before patients would need touchup injections. And some patients had allergies to the fillers. All that has changed. Some of today's fillers last a year or more and skin allergies to hyaluronic acid fillers are rarely an issue."
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) reported that injectables, including hyaluronic acid, or HA, fillers such as Restylane, Perlane, Voluma, and Belotero, saw a 21 percent increase in popularity from 2014 to 2015. "Hyaluronic acid fillers have taken over. HA fillers are phenomenal. We have hyaluronic sugar in our skin anyway, so that's a natural substance," Dr. Buckley says. "The sugar in our skin goes down naturally with time. Synthetically made hyaluronic acid is a safe, effective replacement for natural hyaluronic acid."
Dr. Buckley says he uses the spectrum of fillers daily in practice. Some of the big-name filler families, such as Restylane and Juvederm, offer a spectrum of options, each tailored to a specific cosmetic result. For example, Restylane fillers include Restylane Silk, Restylane Lyft and Restylane L, which stands for lidocaine, plus two brand new entries: Restylane Refyne and Restylane Defyne. Juvederm's fillers include Juvederm Ultra XC, Juvederm Ultra plus XC, and Juvederm Voluma XC. The XC stands for lidocaine for comfort.
"The more robust fillers on the spectrum are injected more deeply to help build volume, such as around the cheekbones, or fill the deep lines and creases of the face. Some of these fillers are lighter weight and work nicely to diminish surface lines, crow's feet, acne scars and more. Galderma just received FDA-approval for two very fine hyaluronic acid fillers, Restylane Refyne and Restylane Defyne," Dr. Buckley says.
Still other fillers in cosmetic surgeons' toolbox include Perlane that replaces lost volume and smooths moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, including the nasolabial folds, which are the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth. Perlane has new FDA indication and has been renamed to Restylane Lyft. There's also Sculptra, which is technically not a filler, though it's classified as a semi-permanent filler. Scuptra's poly-l-lactic acid particles have been shown to stimulate the body to make its own natural collagen. It's long lasting, on the order of years, but results take longer to notice, according to Dr. Buckley. "And yet there are many more fillers in the pipeline, attempting to garner FDA approval," Dr. Buckley says.

Nathan Fillion talks Green Lantern
Nathan Fillion endorses the in development superhero picture

Despite missing out on a leading role in Green Lantern (that went to Ryan Reynolds), Firefly's Nathan Fillion had nothing but praise for the fellow Canadian in a recent interview. Speaking to MTV he said the following:
"The fact is, Ryan Reynolds has been chosen for Green Lantern, and I can't think of anyone better. He's got the look, he's got the talent, he's got the chops, he's got the build, the abs – he's got superhero written all over him."
Fillion also went on to turn the focus onto himself, and how he would have handled the superhero character:
"I'm a little more like [a] sidekick, I'm a little more comic relief, whereas I know Ryan is going to handle [the role] beautifully," he exclaimed. "Ryan knows exactly what he's doing and having worked with him for over two years, I know how he handles himself, I know how he attacks things and I'm a big fan."
Admitting to having exchanged "a couple of emails" with the star, Fillion stated that: "I'm very excited for him."
Green Lantern is based on the popular DC Comic series. At this time no definite release date has been set for this movie.

MOSCOW, May 24 (Itar-Tass) -- Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia will lead the church part of the celebrations on Sunday to mark Slavic Written Language and Culture Days.
The patriarch will lead a liturgy in the Assumption Cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin in honour of Saints Methodius and Cyril, enlighteners of Slavic peoples. The Slavic holiday is marked on the day of the memory of the saints.
Patriarch Alexy II started the tradition of church celebration in Moscow. A religious procession formerly went from the Kremlin to Slavyanskaya Square to the Cyril and Methodius monument. This year, the procession will go to Red Square at the end. The patriarch will lead a short church service in the presence of state power representatives, and then a festive concert will take place there after the patriarch's address to the meeting.
Some regional city was chosen formerly as a capital to mark the days, but the organising committee has decided to hold the main celebration in the Russian capital from next year.
The ambassadors of eleven Slavic states will lay flowers at the monument to Cyril and Methodius on Sunday morning.
The same day, a ceremony will be held at the Donskoi Monastery where are the graves of Russian emigrants -- writer Ivan Shmelev, philosopher Ivan Ilyin and general Anton Denikin.
The next day, on May 25, the patriarch will lead the ceremony to present International Saints Cyril and Methodius Prize awards in the assembly hall in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. A concert of the festival of Slavic arts will take place there after the ceremony.
The Moscow patriarchate and the Russian Slavic Foundation award the prize beginning 1997 to state and public figures, writers, artists and musicians for contribution to the maintaining and development of the heritage of Cyril and Methodius. A bronze sculpture representing Cyril and Methodius, a diploma and a medal are presented to those awarded.


'Are you sure we don't have an orange tree in the garden?' Akber enquired as he stared at the various citrus varieties in the kitchen. Spritely shades of orange and yellow line the kitchen counters, stovetops and cupboards.
There have been oranges, lemons, mandarins and the coveted French clementines with leaves. A stark but welcome colour contrast to the dull and grey skies outside. Not that I'm complaining. We are all enjoying the the cooler climes that don't last long enough in Dubai.
I've been testing recipes for a cake soon to be featured on the next issue of House of Fifty. A clementine, pistachio and semolina cake to be exact. Topped with candied clementines and coarsely chopped pistachios. Ever since I had a slice of lemon, yogurt and pistachio cake at Ottolenghi when I was in London, I have been dreaming of recreating the recipe.
But I can't share the recipe with you yet. Trust me, it will be worth the wait. In the mean time, I have a simple recipe for truffles which has the same blend of flavours. Chocolate, orange blossom water, pistachios and cardamom.
Gorgeous truffles! That is a wonderful flavor.
the light in first picture is phenomenal and so are these truffles. Look forward to your cake too. Happy holidays!
These truffles look great and that cake sounds amazing. Good luck with it. Merry Christmas to you.
Isn't that Ottolenghi yoghurt cake divine? These truffles look pretty wonderful too - such a lovely combination of flavours. Looking forward to hearing all about the new cake when you can share the recipe too!
I love these flavours and am thinking I should make and dispatch a box of these to my Mama. Ottolenghi is such a genius with flavours! And what beautiful photography.
Some seriously fantastic flavors here and you know me, I can never turn down chocolate!
The truffles look just amazing and your photos are out of this world! Gorgeous!
Truffles are the best desert on earth. It's that kind of food that you eat, enjoy and don't realize that you did eat that much !!!
Tarnation! I made truffles just yesterday (for a dinner party tomorrow). These would have been wonderful, especially since my cocktail bites contain pistachios. Love the idea of a tie-in. Next time.
How you tempt us! ; ) I look forward to learning your cake recipe once it's in print.
These truffles, however, are a fine substitute. So gorgeous! Love your photos.
please what is the single cream ?
Many thanks for sharing this recipe with us. I admire the way that you have used images to drive your point home.

There is so much love instilled in this book, it will transform your life if you act upon it.


Buying a car is a big affair in India. A lot of comparison goes at various levels - brand, mileage, colour, features - before finalising that particular car of your choice. However, you might not have observed a similar level of seriousness while purchasing a car insurance, which is mandatory in India for taking your car on the road. A car insurance is a part of the motor insurance that covers the financial loss of the car owner due to accidents, thefts or third-party liability. Before zeroing in on a particular car insurance policy, you should keep certain points in mind. This quick guide will help you understand car insurance better so that you are able to take an informed decision.
1. Opt for a car insurance company that enjoys a high claim settlement ratio. This point will enable a hassle-free, smooth and timely claim settlement otherwise you might end up paying from your own pocket in times of need.
2. There are two types of car insurance policy - comprehensive car insurance and third party car insurance. A comprehensive coverage includes both third party and other accidental and theft claims. However, a third party insurance covers any accident or damage to third party only. Opt for a comprehensive one to provide complete protection to yourself and your family.
3. Be aware of the coverage and exclusions offered by your insurance policy. This will help in gaining the maximum out of your policy or you might miss out the claims for which you can benefit at the time of need. Also the coverage should suit your requirement, else you might be paying for something you don't require.
4. Insured Declared Value (IDV) is the maximum amount that the insurance company pays for the claims settled by them in case of accidents, theft or loss. The price of the car usually depreciates over time and this is an important factor in deciding the IDV. However, don't settle for a lower IDV because it reflects in a lower premium amount, otherwise you might end up paying from your pocket at the time of claim settlement.
5. Consider the add-on coverage offered along with the policy. The add-on benefits are additional advantages provided on payment of some extra payment. You should understand them well and opt for them as per your need and requirement. For instance, always get the engine insured to save the repair costs that you might incur during accidents. You can also go for personal accident cover for your family members for everyone's safety.
6. For cashless claim settlement, you need to visit the network garages of the insurance company. Thus, opt for the insurance company that has a wide range of network garages in order to avoid paying from your side which can turn out to be a burden in times of need.
7. Benefits of availing a No Claim Bonus (NCB) translate into a lower premium amount that you pay. An NCB is the bonus you get on not making any claims in the previous year. Always go for the insurance company that offers NCB with the policy. In case of minor damage or accident, it makes sense to bear the costs yourself and to not make any claims so that you pay a lower premium on your policy.
8. Deductible is the cost of the damage paid by the policy holder. Thus, this is a method of sharing the financial risks coverage with the insurance provider. This helps in lowering the premium amount to a great extent. The deductibles vary for every company. Gain proper guidance on this point, as this affects your premium.
The above mentioned points will help in increasing your awareness about car insurance so that you know what you are opting for. Always renew the insurance policy on time because in India, it is illegal to drive a car without an insurance.
