Question: When did the federal student loan program start?

Answer: United States Government-backed student loans were first offered in 1958 under the National Defense Education Act (NDEA). However, they were only available to select categories of students, such as those studying engineering, science or education degrees. The Higher Education Act of 1965 was signed into law on November 8, 1965. It increased federal money given to universities, created scholarships, and gave low-interest loans to students, which gave greater college access to women and minorities. In 1992, the Federal Direct Student Loan Program started. This was an attempt to give universal access to education loans by creating an "unsubsidized" version of the loans. Loans were available to any student, regardless of whether the financial aid formulas determined that they had unmet need.

Answer: Student loans are a form of financial aid used to help students access higher education. The United States Government started to offer student loans in 1958. On November 8, 1965 the federal low-interest student loan program began, with The Higher Education Act of 1965, as part of President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society domestic agenda, and in 1992 President George H. W. Bush authorized a pilot version of the Direct Loan program, by signing into law the 1992 Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act of 1965.

The main types of student loans in the United States are the following: United States Government-backed student loans were first offered in 1958 under the National Defense Education Act (NDEA), and were only available to select categories of students, such as those studying toward engineering, science, or education degrees. The student loan program, along with other parts of the Act, which subsidized college professor training, was established in response to the Soviet Union's launch of the Sputnik satellite, and a widespread perception that the United States was falling behind in science and technology, in the middle of

the Cold War. Student loans were extended more broadly in the 1960s under the Higher Education Act of 1965, with the goal of encouraging greater social mobility and equality of opportunity. Prior to 2010, Federal loans included both direct loans—originated and funded directly by the United States Department of Education—and guaranteed loans—originated and funded by private investors, but guaranteed by the federal government. Guaranteed loans were eliminated in 2010 through the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act and replaced with direct loans because of a belief that guaranteed loans benefited private student loan companies at taxpayers expense, but did not

Federal Direct Student Loan Program

Federal Direct Student Loan Program The William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (also called FDLP, FDSLP, and Direct Loan Program) provides "low-interest loans for students and parents to help pay for the cost of a student's education after high school. The lender is the U.S. Department of Education ... rather than a bank or other financial institution." Following the passage of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, the Federal Direct Loan Program is the sole government-backed loan program in the United States. Guaranteed loans—loans originated and funded by private lenders but guaranteed by the government—were eliminated

The fixed interest rate is calculated as the weighted average of the interest rates of the loans being consolidated, assigning relative weights according to the amounts borrowed, rounded up to the nearest 0.125%, and capped at 8.25%. Some features of the original consolidated loans, such as postgraduation grace periods and special forgiveness circumstances, are not carried over into the consolidation loan, and consolidation loans are not universally suitable for all debtors. The Federal Loan Consolidation Program was created in 1986. In 1998, the United States Congress changed the interest rate to the aforementioned fixed rate

Question: What would need to happen to change a lead atom into a gold atom?

Answer: There is more than one way to turn lead into gold. One of those ways is with a process called nuclear transmutation, by which one chemical element or an isotope is converted into another chemical element. This is an expensive process that exceeds what could be gained from selling the converted gold. And easier and cheaper way is via neutron capture and beta decay. Essentially, the conversion is achieved by leaving lead in a nuclear reactor for a long period of time.

Answer: There are two different processes that can potentially change a lead atom into a gold atom. One process is nuclear transmutation, which is when the amount of protons or neutrons in an atom is changed. This changes the element because elements are defined by their number of protons and neutrons in its atom. While transmutation has successfully been used to turn lead into gold, it is far too expensive to provide any tangible benefit. The easier process to change lead to gold is neutron capture and beta decay, which is the process of one or more neutrons and a nucleus collide and merge to form a heavier nucleus.

Nuclear transmutation

the abundance of all elements heavier than boron. In their 1957 paper "Synthesis of the Elements in Stars", William Alfred Fowler, Margaret Burbidge, Geoffrey Burbidge, and Fred Hoyle explained how the abundances of essentially all but the lightest chemical elements could be explained by the process of nucleosynthesis in stars. It transpired that, under true nuclear transmutation, it is far easier to turn gold into lead than the reverse reaction, which was the one the alchemists had ardently pursued. Nuclear experiments have successfully transmuted lead into gold, but the expense far exceeds any gain. It would be easier to convert

Amalgam (chemistry)

The aluminium is the ultimate electron donor, and the mercury serves to mediate the electron transfer. The reaction itself and the waste from it contain mercury, so special safety precautions and disposal methods are needed. As an environmentally friendlier alternative, hydrides or other reducing agents can often be used to accomplish the same synthetic result. Another environmentally friendly alternative is an alloy of aluminium and gallium which similarly renders the aluminium more reactive by preventing it from forming an oxide layer. Tin amalgam was used in the middle of the 19th century as a reflective mirror coating. A variety of

Nuclear transmutation

lead into gold via neutron capture and beta decay by leaving lead in a nuclear reactor for a long period of time. Glenn Seaborg produced several thousand atoms of gold from bismuth, but at a net loss. More information on gold synthesis, see Synthesis of precious metals. The Big Bang is thought to be the origin of the hydrogen (including all deuterium) and helium in the universe. Hydrogen and helium together account for 98% of the mass of ordinary matter in the universe, while the other 2% makes up everything else. The Big Bang also produced small amounts of lithium,

Nuclear transmutation

neutrons then cause fission of other uranium atoms, until all of the available uranium is exhausted. This is called a chain reaction. Artificial nuclear transmutation has been considered as a possible mechanism for reducing the volume and hazard of radioactive waste. The term "transmutation" dates back to alchemy. Alchemists pursued the philosopher's stone, capable of chrysopoeia – the transformation of base metals into gold. While alchemists often understood chrysopoeia as a metaphor for a mystical, or religious process, some practitioners adopted a literal interpretation, and tried to make gold through physical experiment. The impossibility of the metallic transmutation had been

Mineral alteration

Mineral alteration Mineral alteration refers to the various natural processes that alter a mineral's chemical composition or crystallography. Mineral alteration is essentially governed by the laws of thermodynamics related to energy conservation, relevant to environmental conditions, often in presence of catalysts, the most common and influential being water (HO). The degree and scales of time in which different minerals alter vary depending on the initial product and its physical properties and susceptibility to alteration. Some minerals such as quartz and zircon are highly resistant to alteration under normal weathering conditions. Yet quartz may alter to stishovite with intense pressure, and

Output: To change a lead atom into a gold atom, nuclear transmutation is required. Nuclear transmutation is a process in which the nucleus of an atom is altered by emitting or absorbing particles, resulting in the transformation of one element into another [1]. In the case of lead and gold, the process of nuclear transmutation involves the emission of alpha particles from the lead nucleus, which results in the formation of a gold nucleus [2].

intent is to "force" riders to look down and see how high they are. After a short delay, the winch releases the gondola, allowing it to free-fall back to the ground, where an array of braking systems slows it down and eventually allows it to come to a full stop, thus completing the cycle. Acrophobia is just over 200 feet in height, as evidenced by the FAA-mandated red hazard beacon at the top of the tower, although the actual drop height of the ride is approximately 161 feet. The ride cycle begins as the airgates open to allow the riders

Question: When did mccrory's go out of business?

Answer: The U.S. based five and dime store established in 1882, McCrory's, was once a successful business with hundreds of chain locations. Despite its early success, the company entered bankruptcy in January 1933. Fortunately, they were able to re-establish themselves and continue to grow once more. However, they had to file for bankruptcy again in 1992 due to the changing retail landscape. Superstores such as Target and Walmart took the shoppers who once frequented the five and dime stores. The company finally had to close its doors in February 2002.

Answer: McCrory Stores or J.G. McCrory's was a chain of five and dime stores in the United States based in York, Pennsylvania. The stores typically sold shoes, clothing, housewares, fabrics, penny candy, toys, cosmetics, and often included a lunch counter or snack bar. With 244 retail units in its chain, the company entered bankruptcy in January, 1933. The company was dissolved, but it was eventually re-established as McCrory Stores and resumed operations.

Question: When did the holy spirit descended upon the apostles?

Answer: The Christian holy day of Pentecost is celebrated fifty days after Easter. It commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit (who appeared in the form of tongues of fire) upon the Apostles while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Weeks. The feast falls between May 15 and June 14 on the Gregorian calendar.

On Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descends and confers God's power on them, and Peter, along with John, preaches to many in Jerusalem, and performs Christ-like healings, casting out of evil spirits, and raising of the dead. The first believers share all property in common, ate in each other's homes, and worshipped together.

Also Stephen in Acts 7 reproachfully exclaims to the Jewish authorities—see Sanhedrin trial of Jesus: "Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye."

Jesus referred to the pair as "Boanerges" (translated "sons of thunder"); although their nature was calm and gentle, when their patience was pushed to its limits their anger became wild and thunderous causing them to speak out like an untamed storm.

The prison doors opened of their own accord, and the angel led Peter into the city. Acts 12 Acts 12 is the twelfth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament of the Christian Bible.

Saul, a witness to the stoning, "approved of their killing him". In the aftermath of Stephen's death, the remaining disciples fled to distant lands, many to Antioch. The exact site of Stephen's stoning is not mentioned in Acts; instead there are two different traditions. One, claimed by noted French archaeologists Louis-Hugues Vincent (1872–1960) and Félix-Marie Abel (1878–1953) to be ancient, places the event at Jerusalem's northern gate, while another one,

Output: The Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles on Pentecost, as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles [1]. This event marked the beginning of the early Church and the continuation of Jesus' ministry through the power of the Holy Spirit [2]. The Holy Spirit enabled the apostles to perform Christ-like healings, cast out evil spirits, and raise the dead [2]. The first believers shared all property in common, ate in each other's homes, and worshipped together [1]. However, the Christians began to be increasingly persecuted by the Jews, and Stephen, one of the early deacons, was arrested for blasphemy, found guilty, and stoned to death by the Jews [1][5].

Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)

Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better) "Anything You Can Do" is a song composed by Irving Berlin for the 1946 Broadway musical "Annie Get Your Gun". The song is a duet, with one male singer and one female singer attempting to outdo each other in increasingly complex tasks. In the musical, the song sets the scene for the climactic sharpshooting contest between Annie Oakley and Frank Butler. Its most memorable lines are, "Anything you can do I can do better; I can do anything better than you." The song was first performed in "Annie Get Your Gun" by

Ethel Merman and Ray Middleton. During the song, they argue playfully about who can, for example, sing softer, sing higher, sing sweeter, and hold a note for longer, and boast of their abilities and accomplishments, such as opening safes and living on bread and cheese, although Annie always seems to counter Frank's argument. Neither can "bake a pie," though. Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better) "Anything You Can Do" is a song composed by Irving Berlin for the 1946 Broadway musical "Annie Get Your Gun".

Worse is better

Worse is better Worse is better, also called New Jersey style, was conceived by Richard P. Gabriel in an essay "Worse is better" to describe the dynamics of software acceptance, but it has broader application. It is the idea that quality does not necessarily increase with functionality—that there is a point where less functionality ("worse") is a preferable option ("better") in terms of practicality and usability. Software that is limited, but simple to use, may be more appealing to the user and market than the reverse. As to the oxymoronic title, Gabriel calls it a caricature, declaring the style bad

The language was designed with this idea in mind, in that it “doesn't try to tell the programmer how to program.” As proponents of this motto argue, this philosophy makes it easy to write concise statements like print if 1..3 or /match/ or the more traditional or even the more verbose: use English; if ($INPUT_LINE_NUMBER >= 1 and $INPUT_LINE_NUMBER <= 3 or $ARG =~ m/match/) { This motto has been very much discussed

Output: The phrase "Anything you can do, I can do better" is a line from the song "Anything You Can Do" composed by Irving Berlin for the 1946 Broadway musical "Annie Get Your Gun". The song is a duet between a male and female singer, where they compete with each other in various tasks, boasting of their abilities and accomplishments. The song was first performed in the musical by Ethel Merman and Ray Middleton. The phrase has also been used as the title of a game show, where contestants compete in various challenges to prove that they can do better than the other.

Question: Who is the next king or queen of england?

Answer: Queen Elizabeth II is the sovereign, and her heir apparent is her eldest son, Charles, Prince of Wales. Next in line after him is Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, the Prince of Wales's elder son. The next in line for Queen would be Charles, Prince of Wales' wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, when Charles becomes King after Elizabeth II.

Answer: Succession to the British throne is determined by descent, sex (males born before 28 October 2011 precede their elder sisters in the line of succession), legitimacy, and religion.

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, the second wife of Charles, Prince of Wales, would be the next Queen of England.

The effects are not likely to be felt for many years; the first two heirs at the time of the agreement (Charles, Prince of Wales, and his son Prince William, Duke of Cambridge) were already eldest born children, and in 2013, William's first-born son Prince George of Cambridge became the next apparent successor.

The third occurred shortly thereafter, in June 2017, when the Conservative Party lost its majority in a snap election, though the party remained in power as a minority government. In 1950 the King's Private Secretary Sir Alan "Tommy" Lascelles, writing pseudonymously to "The Times" newspaper asserted a constitutional convention: according to the Lascelles Principles, if a minority government asked to dissolve Parliament to call an early election to strengthen its position, the monarch could refuse, and would do so under three conditions. When Harold Wilson requested a dissolution late in 1974,

Output: The current King or Queen of England is Queen Elizabeth II. She ascended the throne on the death of her father, King George VI, on 6 February 1952 [3]. The next in line to the throne is Prince Charles, who is the heir apparent and the Prince of Wales [1][2]. However, the succession rules have recently changed to absolute primogeniture, which means that the first-born child, regardless of gender, will become the next in line to the throne [2]. Currently, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, is the next in line to the throne after Prince Charles [3].

of Qatar as the host country has been controversial; FIFA officials were accused of corruption and allowing Qatar to "buy" the World Cup, the treatment of construction workers was called into question by human rights groups, and the high costs needed to make the plans a reality were criticised. The climate conditions caused some to call hosting the tournament in Qatar infeasible, with initial plans for air-conditioned stadiums giving way to a potential date switch from summer to winter. In May 2014, Sepp Blatter, who was FIFA President at the time of the selection but later banned for illegal payments,

Question: How often do we have a census in the uk?

Answer: The UK has taken a census since 1801, except for a few years during war or other extenuating circumstances. The census in the United Kingdom is decennial, that is, held every 10 years, although there is provision in the Census Act 1920 for a census to take place at intervals of every 5 years or more. There have only been two occasions where the census has not been decennial: There was no census in 1941 due to the Second World War; and a mini-census using a ten percent sample of the population was conducted on 24 April 1966.

Answer: In the UK, the census is normally done every 10 years. However, according to the Census act of 1920, the census could be take place every 5 years.

Question: Who was the ruler of france in 1830?

Answer: Charles Philippe was the King of France from September 16, 1825, until August 2, 1830. After him, his cousin, Louis-Philippe, I reigned from August 9, 1830, until he was overthrown in 1848.

Answer: Charles X (born Charles Philippe, Count of Artois) was King of France from 16 September 1824 until 2 August 1830. His reign of almost six years proved to be deeply unpopular from the moment of his coronation in 1825. France faced urban riots which led to the July Revolution of 1830, which resulted in his abdication and the election of Louis-Philippe I as King of the French. Louis-Philippe was sworn in as King Louis-Philippe I on 9 August 1830. Linking the monarchy to a people instead of a territory was aimed at undercutting the legitimist claims of Charles X and his family.

In December 1848, a nephew of Napoléon Bonaparte, Charles Louis Napoléon Bonaparte, was elected as President of the Republic, and pretexting legislative gridlock, in 1851, he staged a coup d'état. Finally, in 1852 he had himself declared Emperor Napoléon III of the Second Empire. France was ruled by Emperor Napoleon III from 1852 to 1870. The regime was authoritarian in nature during its early years, curbing most freedom of the press and assembly. The era saw great industrialization, urbanization

Question: When did the last wooly mammoths die out?

Answer: Most woolly mammoth populations disappeared from its mainland range (across northern Eurasia and North America) between the late Pleistocene and early Holocene periods 10,000 years ago. Isolated populations survived on St. Paul Island until 5,600 years ago and on Wrangel Island until 4,000 years ago.

Answer: Most wooly mammoth populations disappeared over a period of several thousand years, but some survived well after, while mainland and island populations became extinct at different times. Most populations disappeared between 14,000 and 10,000 years ago during the Late Pleistocene and early Holocene. The last mainland population existed in Siberia 9,650 years ago, while a small population survived on St. Paul Island in Alaska until around 5,600 BP, or years before present. The last known population remained on Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean until 4,000 years ago.

A small population of woolly mammoths survived on St. Paul Island, Alaska, well into the Holocene with the most recently published date of extinction being 5,600 years B.P. The last known population remained on Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean until 4,000 years ago, well into the start of human civilization and concurrent with the construction of the Great Pyramid of ancient Egypt.

of the woolly mammoth was mainly grass and sedges. Individuals could probably reach the age of 60. Its habitat was the mammoth steppe, which stretched across northern Eurasia and North America. The woolly mammoth coexisted with early humans, who used its bones and tusks for making art, tools, and dwellings, and the species was also hunted for food. It disappeared from its mainland range at the end of the Pleistocene 10,000 years ago, most likely through climate change and consequent shrinkage of its habitat, hunting by humans, or a combination of the two.

The Wrangel Island mammoths were isolated for 5000 years, and due to the small population present when the island was isolated by rising post-ice-age sea level, about 300 to 1000 individuals experienced a 20% to 30% loss of heterozygosity, and a 65% loss in mitochondrial DNA diversity. The population seems to have subsequently been stable, without suffering further significant loss

Woolly mammoth

The woolly mammoths of eastern Beringia (modern Alaska and Yukon) had similarly died out about 13,300 years ago, soon (roughly 1000 years) after the first appearance of humans in the area, which parallels the fate of all the other late Pleistocene proboscids (mammoths, gomphotheres and mastodons), as well as most of the rest of the megafauna, of the Americas. In contrast, the St. Paul Island mammoth population apparently died out before human arrival because of habitat shrinkage resulting from the post-ice-age sea-level rise, perhaps in large measure as a result of a consequent reduction in the freshwater supply.

Woolly mammoth The woolly mammoth ("Mammuthus primigenius") is an extinct species of mammoth that lived during the Pleistocene until its extinction in the early Holocene epoch. It was one of the last in a line of mammoth species, beginning with "Mammuthus subplanifrons" in the early Pliocene. The woolly mammoth diverged from the steppe mammoth about 400,000 years ago in East Asia. Its closest extant relative is the Asian elephant. The appearance and behaviour of this species are among the best studied of any prehistoric animal because of the discovery of frozen carcasses in Siberia and Alaska, as well as skeletons,

Output: The last woolly mammoths died out around 4,000 years ago on Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean [1][2][3][4][5].

Prostration formula In the 1350 BC correspondence of 382–letters, called the Amarna letters, the Prostration formula is usually the opening subservient remarks to the addressee, the Egyptian pharaoh. The formula is based on prostration, namely reverence and submissiveness. Often the letters are from vassal rulers or vassal city-states, especially in Canaan but also in other localities. The formula is often repetitive, or multi-part, with parts seeming to repeat and can go forward in a typical standard format.
