Excerpt: The U.S. Department of Education says it will reach out to federal student loan borrowers who may have been prematurely denied loan forgiveness under the revamped Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program and will reprocess their applications.
The move comes after an NPR review of borrower documents, as well as information provided by people familiar with the rollout, revealed that FedLoan Servicing, which manages PSLF, continued to operate under the loan forgiveness program's old rules for weeks after the overhaul's Oct. 6 rollout. As a result, for at least three weeks, the servicer rejected the applications of some borrowers who appear to qualify for forgiveness under the new terms.
In a statement to NPR, Richard Cordray, head of the department's office of Federal Student Aid (FSA), said, "[We] expect our servicers to provide clear, accurate information to borrowers, and we are taking steps to ensure they do so. We have requested information from [FedLoan's parent company, PHEAA] about any borrower who submitted an application after October 6th and received a response inconsistent with the new program terms. FSA will ensure these borrowers gain the benefits of the new terms to secure the loan forgiveness they have earned."
Excerpt: But just a few days before, on Friday, Oct. 29, the Education Department had sent an email to FedLoan instructing the servicer to stop rejecting applications from borrowers whose loans likely qualify for forgiveness under the new rules.
In the email, which the Education Department shared with NPR, the department expressed concern "that denying applications that may otherwise be approved under the limited waiver may create customer confusion," telling FedLoan to stop denying potentially eligible borrowers "as expeditiously as possible."
Hi, so my question is: I usually process my kick by boosting transient, saturate, and then clip, then I do the same with my snare, and then I redo this process for the drum bus.
is it useful then to process the separately to then reprocess them again? maybe to glue?
This is literally the third time this has happened in the past few months and I've lost some scores which I'd consider incredible respective to my skill level.
My wife made some strawberry habanero jelly yesterday. Part of the process had you mix sugar with the strawberries and then strain them to get the juice. She thought that it was only to get the juice out of them and not to help setup the jelly. Now it is runny. Would we be able to reprocess this with more sugar or should this head to the trash and start over?
Throw in some verm too? Hope it absorbs? It's the worst in the quart jars, maybe a 1/2 teaspoon water at the bottom.
Hello! I’m new to Reddit, to this sub, and to canning, so bear with me as I post my question…
I followed a recipe for peach jam a handful of days ago. My first canning attempt ever! I processed the jam in a black speckled enamelware pot that I inherited with this house I bought. It was hard to get this pot of water to a boil, as the bottom was curved inwards in a concave manner, and so there was very little contact with my electric stove plates. So while I thought that the water was super close to boiling and I put my jams in their glass jars all lidded up inside it, they actually then sat in the water waiting to boil, for probably 40-60 mins… I Finally got to what I thought was a low boil, and I started counting the processing time of 10 mins from there. Jam looks great, perfect gel, lids sealed. I don’t remember/know if it ever reached a serious rolling boil, though. (I doubt myself now, because of what followed…)
Now, on day 3 of my canning adventures, when I was just canning peaches in light syrup, it took THREE hours of me trying to get this enamelware pot to come to a boil so that I could process the jars for 20 minutes. The peaches got super cooked, every time I was close to a boil it would die down again. It defied the laws of the universe… and my thermometer decided to measure the water at likely 50-70 degrees higher than possible. So I had no way of knowing the true temp of the water. it was more than maddening. Anyway, I went out that evening and bought a flat bottom stainless steel canning pot that came to a boil correctly, and was able to process the peaches properly. Albeit the peaches were very cooked and soft by then.
But it got me wondering, if I had such a hard time getting to a boil with my enamelware pot, is the first batch of jam compromised in any way? I spent so many hours trying to get the water to boil on day three that I can’t accurately remember if I got a good enough boil on day one. If there is a risk, am I in a window of time when I could reprocess the jam? Since the jam has set already, if I reheat it up and repour into glass jars and add new lids, do I have to add any ingredients or work it in any way?
And a last question: on Day 2 I made another batch of peach jam, this time it didn’t gel right because I added extra peaches and probably skimped a bit on the sugar. I thought I had a good boil, but this is before I got a proper stainless steel pot. Lids sealed great. I looked up a remedy online so decided to reprocess the

Anyone know the formula for the tax when reprocessing in an NPC station? It's the only thing I can't find a formula with an exact value for. Is it based on a rolling average of the refined ores along with your corp standing? Seems about 1%ish in stations where I have decent standing.
Bonus: is the refining tax on a POS exactly what the owning corp sets it to, or is there additional system or faction tax when anchored in Hi sec?
I've had a few EMDR sessions but the one I had this past week has really been impacting me and I think it brought up one of the core negative beliefs I have about myself. With my therapist, I was working on a memory from childhood of me feeling like ‘there’s something wrong with me’- I think I have this core negative belief because both my parents growing up would always belittle me and put me down (they still do this to me as an adult).
I think a lot of my reprocessing of these memories and negative core beliefs comes out in my dreams. I've had a few vivid dreams since doing EMDR, but the one I had last night I chose to write down once I woke up so I wouldn't forget. So last night, I had a dream that my friend’s mom was saying all these horrible things to me that I’m a bad person, ugly, dumb, just being overall very cruel. I was alone with her and after she was finished I told her it’s not okay for you to talk to me like that.
When my friend came back into the dream I told my friend that I was going to put some distance between myself and her mom for awhile because she treated me poorly and I don’t deserve to be treated like that.
I think this dream was part of my reprocessing but also related to the fact that I stood up to my mom who very recently was yelling at me telling me 'I am such a weak person' because I ‘let people walk all over me’. (I had been dealing with a roommate who was treating me bad and my mom didn't like how I wasn't being, in her eyes, assertive enough.) I told her its not okay to treat me like that or say those things and she got mad and said I was lecturing her.
It’s just so messed up anytime I confront my parents and tell them it's not okay to talk to me like that they always turn it back on me and say ‘you just think you’re better than me’. And I’m like no I’m telling you how I want to be treated. And they are projecting this superiority complex onto me.
That being said, I woke up thinking that maybe my dream is telling me that it’s okay to put distance between myself and people who treat me poorly (like my parents, etc.) even though I want to be close to them and have a good relationship with them. I need to protect myself too.
Does anyone else have vivid dreams after EMDR?
I’ve been making this video series with my parents (both of whom are therapists), this week is about EMDR & what to expect in your first session
Hope you find it helpful :)

Is it worth reprocessing loot or selling it? I have 4/3 on reprocessing but I saw some modules that are worth selling them instead of reprocessing them, I need to level up my skills to be worth?
Do you often take this process of revisiting old pics, and going through some processing / retouching that you were not satisfied on that day?
I try to do it, and the results for me are pretty satisfactory.
First, to realize that a particular take has something that you didn't notice, and you can take something out of it, that you couldn't or were not inspired years ago.
Second , to realize that your processing / retouching skills have improved, and you can extract awesome things on takes that you discarded back on the day.
Right now, I have 16k+ pictures on my Lightroom catalog (this is roughly 10 years of photography), and 989 posted on Flickr, so roughly 6% of my catalog.
My workflow is very simple : when I come back from a trip (whether it's a day trip, or a vacation), I download everything to LR, and do the first screening, which leaves aprox. 10% of the pictures.
Of that, I mark the ones which I find interesting with green color, and the ones that I find outstanding / exceptional on blue.
Then I usually start to process and work on all of them on the next following days (depending on my time availability, etc...), which leaves maybe 1-2 good pictures per day of the trip, and the rest as average.
All the pictures that I deem worth it, go to a folder named "flickr", where they sit as a queue, waiting to be uploaded, sometimes it's once a day (never more than that)... sometimes it's once a week . I try to always have a queue of photos there. If there are no photos or a few ones, that means that:
a) I have to go outside to take pictures
b) I would need to revisit old ones.
And as this year , with all the pandemic stuff, the availability to travel and go outside to take pictures has been limited, I have tended to go for option b), which is proving surprisingly satisfying.
What about you? What is your workflow? Do you revisit old photos? Or by the contrary, you just forget about them and go to get new stuff when you can?
