If they are kosher certified does that mean they can be kashered?
No it is only referring to it's current status

Is Seal-K recognized as a kosher authority?

Can you show an image?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I'm assuming this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal-K


Based on that Wikipedia information, I would assume that most would consider it acceptable. Based on my research with insiders in the industry I would avoid it.

IOW, if it's not on the CRC list, you need to do a deep dive.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

IIRC you wrote more about them elsewhere.

Let me qualify and rephrase that. What I wrote refers to the Hechsher of the Biala from Lugano. The website of Seal-K lists additional Rabbis (one of them very respectable in Lubavitch for his Torah knowledge and amazing Kolel, not sure about his practical Kashrus expertise, but it doesn't really matter, because unfortunately, he passed away about 9 months ago).

From most of your recent posts on this thread, I gather that you're under the impression that the Chareidi magazines have a captive audience of a specific amount of readers no matter how attractive the product looks. I don't think that impression is correct. Even if 80% of they're readers will buy with or without pictures, putting in pictures will attract the other 20% to buy.
If they have a 4 page article about someone, they probably look for pictures of the person doing interesting things, if they can't find, they'll just put in 4-6 pictures their photographer took during the visit and other activities of the interviewee on the day of the visit.

I understand that the publisher would consider the cover photo important for attracting buyers.  I was interested more in how the reader sees the photos.  Truth is, I haven't seen any of these publications in the past few years, so I'll try to find some later in the week and rephrase my question.

Okay.

@cgr
You'd be surprised how many ppl have reached out in the last 24 hours asking where they can "source" student debt.

And the answer is?
Above -board answer (assuming you don't have a cousin's brother-in-law's nephew who works in a yeshiva that's a college and will backdated some paperwork for you):
Unless you actually have a loan or will be attending college next semester and will be getting a loan, you're out of luck.
Re attending college next semester: you might not qualify even then, depending on how they'll be structuring forgiveness. They haven't announced which semesters will be eligible for forgiveness. Wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't extend to next semester.
