2016 is winding down and, unfortunately, so am I. Fever, headache, body aches, sniffles. I feel like the south end of a north bound mule (don't you just love southern expressions?). I'm blaming this one on my brother-in-law. Yes, Jimmy, you know who you are! Typhoid Jimmy breezed around Christmas infecting everyone in his path. Sadly, we didn't know he was contagious until the day after our family Christmas get together. I have nothing else to do now, but lie here plotting my revenge.
In between my mental payback images, I realized I needed some comforting soup to make me feel better. Campbell's just wasn't going to cut it this time. I wanted homemade and easy. Creamy, hot potato soup was just what the doctor ordered.
If you are feeling a bit under the weather or if the weather is getting you down, I suggest you make a pot of this soup. It is soothing and, oh, so delicious. And best of all? It is easy!
Cook potatoes and carrots in boiling, salted water, until very tender and potatoes are kind of falling apart. Drain.
Sauté leeks, celery and shallot in 2 T. of the butter, until the vegetables are tender, but not brown. Add garlic and sauté a couple of minutes more. When the garlic becomes fragrant, you have cooked it enough. Do not let it brown.
Add potatoes and carrots to sautéed vegetables.
Add remaining butter, cream and chicken broth, adding more broth or cream to soup as needed to increase liquid. You want the soup to be creamy and chunky.
Heat through and top with grated cheddar cheese, chopped green onion and/or bacon bits if you like.
My family all said it was the best potato soup they ever had and we didn't even add any toppings!
Enjoy! Happy New Year, y'all!

As the site grows and I get more comments and more e-mails, I'm starting to see a pattern of the same questions emerging. So I thought I'd simply collect several issues in this post and answer them in FAQ style.
If you have any other questions related to the website or my language projects (keeping in mind that actual learning strategies are covered in depth in the Language Hacking Guide and in various posts – just go through the archives to find out 🙂 ) feel free to ask in the comments below! I'll edit this post to include any comments that ask questions that many people would be likely to want to know.
Why is this blog called Fluent in 3 months? Are you promising a magic pill and why is 3 the magic number?
The name of the blog causes a lot of confusion for people when they first arrive on my site. I'm not promising any special time line for people studying a language; doing so would be ridiculous because the amount of work people put in is too varied. Most people take years to learn just the basics of a language because they do it so wrong, so of course a claim of "3 months" would sound arrogant to them.
It's called "Fluent in 3 months" because I move to a new country, usually for about 3 months and I tend to aim to speak the local language fluently. The name of the blog is from my objectives in both travel and language learning. This blog documents my own language learning journeys and shares the ideas that make it all possible. The title of the blog is an objective not a promise of a magic solution for all.
Three months is not some magic number, it just happens to be the time I like to spend in a country, so whatever I do, I have to reach whatever my target is by approximately this time.
Having said that, people following my advice have indeed started speaking much quicker. The idea of aiming high in a short time is an important part of what I propose people try.
What will your next language be?
Every two or three months I take on a new language mission. I only announce it on the blog as the mission begins, but I do give advance notice of a couple of weeks in the e-mail list. So sign up to the Language Hacking League on the right of the site and you'll be the first to know! The current mission is always indicated in the top-right of the blog.
Hi, I'm professor know-it-all and I see that you have learned almost only Indo-European languages. Have you avoided Asian and African languages because a) You are a scared little girl or b) You are lazy and can't stand the challenge?
Hello Mr. Linguist. There are many reasons to want to learn a language and, unfortunately for academics, impressing you is not why I do it. My language choices depend entirely on wanting to immerse myself in a local culture. I have been travelling for almost eight years and wanted to get to know Europe and the Americas as well as possible first.
I will learn other languages soon as I expand on my travels, but from my one weekend of speaking Thai and two months of speaking Hungarian (neither of which are Indo European languages) I can see that the communicative speak-immediately approach will work just as effectively for me with all languages. The concept of hardest language is B.S., and learning anything just to impress people shows a very weak ego. If you get gratification from ticking language-branches off a list rather than appreciating the use of the actual languages with human beings, so be it, but that's not me.
I will indeed be taking on Asian languages, but I will also be continuing to learn other European languages. Those missions will likely have a twist to them (like sitting a hard exam etc.) so that it isn't a straightforward challenge in that case, but calling me "lazy" for taking on what is indeed a challenge of getting through an entirely new means of communication and the mountain of hard work involved, even if a similar language gives me a slight edge, is a very narrow minded way of thinking.
I think you should learn Chinese/Japanese/Swahili/Klingon/Ancient Egyptian/Penguin/binary… as your next language! It has 67 grammatical cases, 47 tones, 7 genders, the world's most complicated conjugation and you need to perform differential calculus just to have adjectives agree with nouns! That would really prove to the doubters that your method worked!
I don't take language suggestions. I already have destinations I am interested in travelling to and because I will be surrounded by people who speak that language, I will learn it so I can get to know them better.
I have no interest whatsoever in learning a language because of its grammar. Complicated grammar or tones etc. doesn't scare me – I see it as totally irrelevant in the decision making process. I am a traveller, not a linguist, so listing grammar points is a horrible way to make a "sales pitch" to me.
However, I have indeed been convinced by people to take on particular languages because they spoke to me about the culture of the destination, especially emphasising how I would personally enjoy living there for 3 months based on the price of living, how friendly the locals are, how much they like to go out and dance, their sense of humour, if a vegetarian could find work-arounds, if I can find a nice flat with Internet easily etc. I also prefer cities over small towns, so the pace of life in particular cities is quite important to me.
I am interested in discovering new cultures, while staying sane with some aspects of socialising and life in general that I can find more universally. So talk about that if you want me to think about learning the language.
Benny, for a language guy you sure make a lot of spelling mistakes. It's 'practice' not 'practise'!!
I am Irish and in Ireland we use a spelling standard that is similar to British English and not the same as in America. Practice is the noun (Get some practice) and practise is the verb (to practise a language). Because of my Irish English dialect, I may also say that someone "has" a language rather than speaks it and use turns of phrase that look strange to those who are unfamiliar with it.
I do indeed make real mistakes – it's bound to happen considering how much I write – but please do your research and make sure that you are not correcting perfectly good English that just happens to not be your dialect.
Why do you talk about motivation and meeting people so much, isn't this a language blog? Where's the grammar and course recommendations?
This is not a blog "about languages". There are many of those and they do an excellent job.
This is a blog about my own particular language missions, usually aiming for fluency, usually in 3 months or less (hence the title). In doing so I am happy to give the reasons why I can do it and most of this blog is written to me as if my 21 year old self could read it and see what's the most important. It's a blog about speaking languages.
And the most important thing to reach fluency in a language quickly is not lots of studying; it's having motivation and confidence, and figuring out how to meet people who speak it. I will occasionally write about specific language grammar and vocabulary like I did in Czech, German and Hungarian, but even with the best grammar short-cuts you'll never speak a language if the rest of your approach is wrong.
Over on the Facebook page, Victor says: Hi! I am aspiring to become a linguist, but it seems you have something against them/us. You don't seem to be one to generalize, but I have noticed that you quite often use the word "linguist" in a manner I'd consider derogative, so I thought I'd ask you why that is.
I was going to answer him but Randy beat me to it with the best response: I get the sense that Benny sees "linguists" in a similar way to how professional athletes see sports journalists… or the way that filmmakers view film critics. It's one thing to know all the details and study and have references and facts …and a doctorate thesis… but it's a completely different thing to actually speak the language.
How do you not mix your languages up?
This is a good question and one I will write a blog post about (Edit: here it is!). Any other questions about my learning strategy have likely been covered in detail in previous posts or the Language Hacking Guide.

Q: arm64 starting February issue Apple announced that is will not allow applications without arm64 to be uploaded.
https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=10202014a
I have several questions:

*

*Is it only about new applications?

*Or existing applications on App Store (that don't support arm64)
will be removed?

*Or starting this date I will not be allowed to update existing application on App Store?

P.S. It's important for me, because I use tokbox sdk, and it doesn't support arm64.

A: There is a slightly more detailed announcement:

As we announced in October, beginning on February 1, 2015 new iOS apps submitted to the App Store must include 64-bit support and be built with the iOS 8 SDK. Beginning June 1, 2015 app updates will also need to follow the same requirements. To enable 64-bit in your project, we recommend using the default Xcode build setting of "Standard architectures" to build a single binary with both 32-bit and 64-bit code.

So for new apps, the deadline is February 1, 2015. Existing apps may still submit 32-bit-only updates, but starting June 1, 2015 even existing apps must also support 64-bit when submitting updates.
Existing apps will most likely not be removed, not even after the June 1 deadline. But they will reject submitted updates if those do not contain 64-bit support. As far as I know, Apple has not removed any existing apps yet simply because they're "outdated".

The Spanish conquest of America generated a profusion of chronicles, tracts and poetry, among which are figured several classics of the Renaissance. It also provoked a fierce debate between Bartolome de las Casas, who defended the Indians, and the humanist historians who glorified the conquerors. Thereafter, imperial jurists and churchmen acclaimed the Spanish monarchy as chosen by Divine Providence to establish a Catholic empire in the New World. Within the bounds of this universal monarchy, American Spaniards sought to define their social identity by installing Aztec and Inca civilisation as the historical foundations of their countries and by accepting Our Lady of Guadalupe and St Rosa of Lima as their patrons. When the voice of the Enlightenment re-stated the imperial critique of the New World's inhabitants, Creole patriots vigorously responded; and if in South America Simon Bolivar cited classical republicanism to justify independence, in Mexico Creole patriotism was transmuted into an insurgent nationalism that did not succumb to liberal ideas until the incursion of the reform movement led by Benito Juarez. This book is about the quest of Spaniards born in the New World to define their American identity. It demonstrates that across the three centuries of colonial rule, Creole patriots succeeded in creating an intellectual and political tradition that by reason of its engagement with native history and American reality was idiosyncratic, regionally diverse, and distinct from any European model.


Hungry for the mythology that are hidden beyond the realms of created characters, fictional or real, it now seems like a metaphor of a former part of years gone by. Centuries back, when technology was nonexistent or may be it existed in the form of hi-speed arrows that went from one end to another or to win the heart of a princess; we are told to believe that in yesterday's world the evil and the good fought with one another, with good blissfully regaining the war coupled with sacrifices.
That handle would have gone so viral that she wouldn't have had to pass the complexity her married life had to go through in reality. And with such Tweet would have cart full of 'Bows' from Myntra ordered. Of course, since the suitors wouldn't have had so much time to go to the shops, all they needed was an APP installed to order, a BOW selfie and a ravishing gal won. But pity that in those times, BOWS meant real arrow and bows and not the bows with the ties.
When Dashratha banished Rama to a forest exile for 14 years and Sita willingly was adamant as a dutiful wife,more than what the Mythology states as, she needed a comfortable pair of shoes. The itchy feet may have had been wicked feet in 14 years. For when she states that she would give up her luxury for happy and peaceful moments with her beau wandering in the Jungles of Panchvati Forest, a backpack was what both needed and Shrugs and Jackets that would keep them warm. Had it been today, Sita would have enjoyed her vacation and so she wouldn't have had been attracted to Mareecha, the Golden Deer. You'd ask me why?
All she needed was to use Myntra App for her and her beau personal needs, convenient just from her mobile .As if their own personal assistant is talking while they are happy vacationing.
But then, devoid of such technology, Sita got bored with routine at home and laid her eyes on the Golden Deer. To her that poor thing was hope. Charmed by it, she requests Rama to catch it and when the deer shouted in pain, Lakshmana on request by Sita had to break Rama's promise and went to find him making a Lakshman Rekha for Sita's protection. Then comes Ravana as Sadhu and takes her away on an Ariel Adventure.
In one year of Captivity, Ravana kept Sita entertained with her favorite apparels/beauty products from Myntra. She had no reason to complain.
Ravana in the meantime kept expressing her love for her, but Sita refused all the advances towards her. Then one fine day, a tweet popped up that shook the whole online world.
Ravana:In love with Sita,Sita looks happy but is shy to confess.
Meanwhile Ram meets Hanuman to track his Sita gone missing. With the help of Hanuman's technology of location locater and navigator and with the help of simulator, Hanuman is transported into maze of technology that made Sita stop playing Candy Crush and take notice. Sita gives her Chudamani recently bought from Myntra to Hanuman and asks him to give it to Ram. Thereby flies Hanuman,with his tail burnt but still alive reaches with the message. In fact, this could have been made simpler with the easy 'return policy' to a different location.
Rama built the Setu and then the war is fought between who's got more Myntra Credits to woo Sita.The terrible long and violent war of points which led to one purchase after another, led to victory of Ram who has had been saving from his Forest Days.
Sita:Happy but all my best orders from @Myntra were confiscated(sic).
Ram(Fuming):Did you wish to keep them?
If at all,if the bow was the bow with the tie, she would have had got the best suitor (yes because that chap would have had been a huge Myntra fan like me).If at all technology was existent, she would have had all her besties to herself.

Body Ministry – over 20 years of research updated to the 21st century.
The Body of Christ, Part 2: Ministry Education.
Learning Together in Ministry – a book expanded from Chapter 15 – Mutual Education: From competition to co-operation.
In this very helpful and timely book, the Rev Dr Geoff Waugh takes up the implications of these issues and applies them to ministry within and beyond the church, the Body of Christ. As the framework above indicates, Dr Waugh's analysis, evaluation and application of the theology of the living Body of Christ inevitably is no less than truly revolutionary, as is his analysis, evaluation and application of the theology of the living Spirit's work.
Dr Waugh has had a long and distinguished mission career, especially in education, in addressing the central Christian issues outlined above. It has been my honour and my privilege to have served alongside him for eight years (1987–1994) in Trinity Theological College, in the Brisbane College of Theology, and in the School of Theology of Griffith University, in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. He has been a dear and valued friend, and especially one who day-by-day in his life has lived out what he taught. Moreover, he has had vast experience in his long teaching ministry, not only in Australia, but throughout the South Pacific, Asia, and in Africa.
His work is thus very important reading indeed for us all.
by Rev. Dr Colin Warren, Former Principal of Alcorn College, Senior Pastor of Rangeville Uniting Church before retirement and founder of Freedom Life Centre, Toowoomba.
In this brief Preface, I acknowledge that Geoff has had a very big impact on my life, both by the witness of his own life and by the quality of his teaching. I pray that you and your church will be greatly blessed as you read and put into practice these basic biblical principles to reach and bless the people who are searching for the living Christ but often do not know what it is they are searching for.
Geoff and I have worked with students and on mission enterprises together over many years. His writing has come from years of practical experience and a vast amount of prayerful study. He has pioneered a work the results of which only eternity will reveal. He has never sought recognition for his tireless and faithful service in honouring the Lord, in continuing to teach and to live in the power of the Holy Spirit. He writes out of varied experiences.
He was the inaugural Principal of the Baptist Bible College in Papua New Guinea (1965-1970). He has taught at Alcorn College and Trinity Theological College (1977-1994) and at Christian Heritage College School of Ministries (from 1995). He is the author of many books, mostly in Christian Education with the Uniting Church, but also on Renewal and Revival.
In this important work, Geoff explores the ministry of the whole body of Christ when Holy Spirit gifts are recognised and are encouraged to be exercised. Then the artificial division between clergy and laity or pastor and non-pastor is removed. At the same time there is the recognition of Holy Spirit endowed leadership gifting such as that between Paul and Timothy. This means that Kingdom authority is expressed through Divine headship. His emphasis on body ministry thus becomes a reality.
Geoff illustrates this clearly with his Case study Number 2 on page 34. There the church no longer consists of passive pew sitters but participants in fulfilling the command of Jesus, empowered by the Holy Spirit to preach repentance, heal the sick and cast out demon spirits, having the certain knowledge that He is with them as He promised "to the end of the age".
Geoff points out that if the church is to live and grow in today's world, it must recognise the need to emphasize relationships and adapt to change. This change will include such simple things as the way men and women both old and young dress, and allow others the freedom to dress differently as they attend places of worship in a non judgmental atmosphere.
There is, too, the need to realise the reality that many are affected by a global sense of fear of nuclear destruction and of accelerated and constant change and uncertainty. The church can provide an atmosphere of security through rediscovering the unchanging gospel in a changing world.
Denominations that once were able to be exclusive and hold their numbers in rigid theological disciplines, have been invaded via cassettes, CD's, DVD's, and the internet that have widened the thinking horizons of their often theologically bound members, resulting in communication at spiritual levels not possible previously.
Geoff points out that if we are going to fulfil the Great Commission, we must first live the life of Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. It is only then that we can do the work of fulfilling Christ's command to go.
I commend Body Ministry for you to read. All Christians will benefit greatly from reading this insightful book.
By Rev Dr Lewis Born, former Moderator of the Queensland Synod of the Uniting Church in Australia and Director of the Department of Christian Education.
Body Ministry and Open Ministry Education come at the right time for adult education, gospel communication, and the growth of the church.
Open Education promises to become the most commonly used adult educational methodology of the new millennium. The demand is likely to increase. This indicates that the work of Geoff Waugh is a significant contribution to the current educational enterprise. It is particularly valuable to Christian Educators. The author's orientation is theological and his target audience is the faith community, its nurture, growth and outreach.
To this point in time the educative process has been inhibited by dependence on structured courses, the classroom and qualified teachers. Accelerated technology, as Mr Waugh observes, has made modern resources commonly available to individuals, churches and schools in every village community. By this medium Open Education for the first time in history is able to offer high quality education from the world's best teachers to people in their own lounge, church or local group meeting place.
All this coinciding with the renewal movement has stimulated interest in theological learning to an unprecedented degree in the history of Christendom. The incredible numerical religious revival in the illiterate Asian and Latin church has been stimulated and served by modern technology.
This gives Open Ministry Education and therefore Mr Waugh's work a global relevance, which he has applied in the Australian context.
As a fellow Australian I am appreciative. My appreciation is greatly enhanced by a deep respect and affection for the author. He is a competent teacher, an excellent communicator, an informed, disciplined renewalist and an experienced extension educator.
All these qualities combine to commend the author and his work.
Author Geoff Waugh has been generous by providing several books encompassing body ministry. Each has a different flavor but all draw you closer to the concept of what today's ministry needs to entail. Whether in church or in home groups all must center, he states, on relationships and using the varying gifts of the body to build up God's kingdom. Just like Jesus taught on kingdom living we too need to break out of comfortable tradition, dissolve the gap between clergy and laity, and not conform to the world but be an agent of transformation to the world.
Servant leaders, Waugh believes, are called and anointed to equip others for ministry. It is not about position, hierarchy, or authority but a question of function and service. As the order of service is dictated by the Spirit's outpouring, there are new songs in worship that can emerge as well as inspirational insights to edify the body.
The contrast given between traditional leading and 21 st century servant leadership is very informative. It allows pastors and leaders to evaluate the way things are done and help them lead in supportive ways.
The media and educational access via technology has allowed information at our fingertips and Waugh shares how the purpose of education has changed and what adult learners most appreciate today. This resource will be of benefit to all ministry leaders and teachers. I recommend it for positive change and for allowing the Holy Spirit, the Great Teacher, to have full reign.
Please know I read and posted a review on Amazon for your book Body Ministry. Great book and I hope many will sell. I love to endorse good authors and will be happy to submit reviews on any forthcoming materials. Please, if you like it can you hit the yes button at the end? Keep up the good work and may the body of Christ light up with God's vision.

In Praise of Fathers…
"As an early entrepreneur, my grandpa, Henry Deblieck, started a small dairy delivery business on the west side of Chicago in the early 1900's. Every day he would buy milk and dairy products from local producers, then deliver them in his horse-drawn wagon. One of his stops was a local tavern."

Reminiscence Therapy: Effective for a Number of Reasons
I remember visiting Judy's back porch in her memories. She pointed to her father who was sitting to her left and her brother who was drinking lemonade at the table. In the distance, she smelled and saw the pink rhododendron bushes and she felt the breeze in the air. Her mother was preparing food in the kitchen and a picnic on the porch was about to begin. It was like we were there, and, for Judy, we were there. We were visiting this sweet memory together. I also could feel that Judy didn't really want to come back right away. That was okay. She was truly enjoying the moment....and so was I as the listener.

When looking at any good photography our eye should be naturally drawn along "lines" that will ideally pull our attention throughout all aspects of the photograph without becoming stalled in any point in the image for too long. By thinking about how you place these leading lines in your composition, you can affect the way the viewer sees your image, pulling them into the photograph; towards the subject, or on a continual journey throughout the scene. There are various different types of lines that can be applied in your photography – straight, diagonal, curvy, zigzag, radial etc – each of which can be used to enhance your photographic composition.
Take for example this photograph that I took of the Badlands in Cheltenham, Ontario. As you can see your eye is immediately pulled from the foreground of the image all the way up to the upper third where you find yourself among the trees surrounded by the sky.
Here is another example of leading lines in this photograph that I took of a Ladybug on the shoreline of a beach. Your eye is initially drawn into the image by the large white rock in the foreground with a small ladybug on top. Shortly after you are pulled from the left to the right and back to the left yet again by following the rocks along the shoreline.
As you can see, using "leading lines" in the composition of your photography is an excellent technique that you can easily apply to draw the attention of your viewers throughout your image in the most impactful way possible thus creating a more dynamic and memorable image. It may take some practice to "train your eye" to see these natural leading lines when searching for that perfect frame for your next subject but once you learn to see the leading lines, you will begin to naturally apply them in your photography without even thinking about it.

We understand that learning about California State Standards and 21st Century Skills can be challenging, particular with the variety of acronyms that have cropped up these last few years.
Below are subject-oriented lists of acronyms for California State Standards and 21st Century Learning, to help you understand what each means.
Click on any acronym to see more information about it.
Established by the National Education Administration (NEA), the 4 C's have been identified by a wide variety of leaders as the most important 21st Century K-12 skills. They are: Communication, Critical Thinking, Collaboration, and Creativity.
Signed into law in October of 2013, the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) is the California-based Smarter Balanced Assessment system.
Common Core State Standards - The Common Core is a set of high-quality academic standards in mathematics and English language arts/literacy (ELA). These learning goals outline what a student should know and be able to do at the end of each grade. The standards were created to ensure that all students graduate from high school with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in college, career, and life, regardless of where they live.
Direct Instruction (DI) is a skills-oriented, teacher directed approach to instruction. It takes advantage of smaller groups and one-on-one time. Units of instruction are broken down and sequenced, in order to be delivered explicitly.
Graduate Outcomes - What skills do high school graduates have following completion of their K-12 education? What is their employability? Are they able to further their studies and contribute in a productive manner to society?
Inquiry Based Learning involves leading the learner toward understanding through the use of hands-on learning, questioning and reflection -- both on the part of the teacher and on the students. Rather than simply project-based learning, IBL is a deep, disciplined way of thinking and collaboration.
Linked Learning - An approach that connects strong academics with real-world experiences in a wide range of fields. Often used on the high school level to make the learning process both challenging and more exciting for the student.
Learning Outcome Statement - What a student is expected to know, skills the student must learn, and attitudes, competencies and mental habits. Typically tailored to be specific to a campus or educational program, and updated as needed throughout a student's learning journey.
Project Based Learning is a dynamic approach to learning wherein students are encouraged to explore real-world problems and challenges. While figuring out solutions, students gain a deeper understanding of the subjects related to the solutions.
Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium - a state-led consortium working to develop next-generation assessments to accurately measure student progress toward college- and career- readiness.
Constructed Response - a form of assessment item where in the answer is not inherently visible in the assessment question. In order to answer the question, students must use higher-level thinking skills.
Language - L is the designator for the Language section of the ELA Common Core State Standards.
Performance Task - A theme or scenario based collection of questions and activities that challenge students to apply their knowledge and skills to respond to complex real-world problems.
Reading: Information - RI is the designator for the Information subsection of the Reading section of the ELA Common Core State Standards.
Reading: Literature - RL is the designator for the Literature subsection of the Reading section of the ELA Common Core State Standards.
Speaking & Listening - SL is the designator for the Speaking and Listening section of the ELA Common Core State Standards.
Selected Response - Students choose a response from a list provided by the teacher or test developer, rather than constructing one on their own. Students do not have to recall information, only recognize the correct answer.
Technology Enabled - Utilizing technologies that provide critical information to students and teachers about whether students understand targeted concepts, and if not, what problematic or partial understandings are present instead.
Writing - W is the designator for the Writing section of the ELA Common Core State Standards.
English Language Proficiency Assessments for California - An assessment program that replaces the CELDT program, which was aligned to 1999 ELD Standards.
Counting and Cardinality - CC is the designator for the Counting and Cardinality section of the Math Common Core State Standards.
Expressions and Equations - EE is the designator for the Expressions and Equations section of the Math Common Core State Standards.
Extended Response - An essay-style assessment question, which may or may not include reference to the initial prompt.
Functions - F is the designator for the Functions section of the Math Common Core State Standards.
Geometry - G is the designator for the Geometry section of the Math Common Core State Standards.
Measurement and Data - MD is the designator for the Measurement and Data section of the Math Common Core State Standards.
Numbers and Operations in Base Ten - NBT is the designator for the Numbers and Operations in Base Ten section of the Math Common Core State Standards.
Numbers and Operations with Fractions - NF is the designator for the Numbers and Operations with Fractions section of the Math Common Core State Standards.
Number System - NS is the designator for the Number System section of the Math Common Core State Standards.
Operations and Algebraic Thinking - OA is the designator for the Operations and Algebraic Thinking section of the Math Common Core State Standards.
Ratios and Proportional Relationships - RP is the designator for the Ratios and Proportional Relationships section of the Math Common Core State Standards.
Statistics and Probability - SP is the designator for the Statistics and Probability section of the Math Common Core State Standards.
Next Generation Science Standards - a set of K-12 science standards, arranged in a coherent manner across disciplines and grades to provide all students in internationally-benchmarked science education.
Document Based Questioning - authentic assessment method that asks students to read and analyze historical records, assimilate and synthesize information, compare and contrast issues from differing perspectives, and reconcile positions if possible.

Green Pastures Fundraiser Hopes to Secure Money for Facility Upgrades
By Benjamin Cox on October 28, 2021 at 2:59pm
A local, non-denominational camp is looking for some donations coming up next month. Green Pastures is known throughout the area for its long-standing performing arts camp.
Green Pastures Board member Keith Bradbury says you'd be hard pressed to find someone in Jacksonville who isn't an alumni of the camp: "Most people are familiar with Green Pastures because of the performing arts camp that has been going on for nearly 40 years. Thousands of kids have come through there. The performing arts camp is a two-day camp. Traditionally, the kids just stay one night. It's usually schedule for 4 weekends in June, so there will be as many as a thousand kids that go through there in a month. You don't have to go very far in Jacksonville and the surrounding communities to find someone that went to Green Pastures' performing arts camp."
Bradbury says that COVID-19 has stymied both fundraising efforts and the number of volunteers the non-profit camp has needed over the last 18 months. Bradbury says the forty-year old facilities are in need of major updates. He says the grounds serve everyone from out-of-state church groups, local faith-based organizations, to hunters and campers.
Bradbury says that K's Creek Golf Course has set up a fundraiser next month to raise free will donations with the group Two By Two: "There will be no admission fee. It's all free will donation. Along with Two By Two, we'll also have Rod Nicholson there, Robert Sampson will be there, a bluegrass group there called the Bluegrass Gospel Five, and then the Gospel Gals will be there as well – they are primarily Jacksonville ladies. There will be a bucket out, and there will be some pleas for money. Be prepared for that because that's our purpose. We look for all levels of giving. If a person can put in $5 – great. If they can put in $5,000 – even greater. It should be a really great day."
The fundraiser is scheduled for Sunday, November 14th from 5-8PM. The donations will be matched by the Ken Bradbury Foundation dollar for dollar. K's Creek is located at the former North Ridge Golf Course located at 1265 Sandusky Road in Jacksonville.


Five seniors, who combined for a solid 75 points per game, form the 1986-87 Seminole Athletic Conference basketball first team, selected by the league coaches.
Rod Henderson and Jerry Parker, who averaged 16 and 14 points, respectively, for Seminole's SAC champion, head the team. They were just two of the reasons for Seminole posting a 10-0 mark in the SAC mark and an overall record of 25-6.
Henderson, the lone repeater from last year's team, also averaged seven rebounds and four assists a game.
Brent Bell, the SAC's leading scorer with an 18-point average, was Lake Brantley's representative.
Robert Thomas of Lyman and Robb Hughes of Oviedo were the other first-team selections.
There was plenty of talent on the second team with Lake Mary's Terry Miller and Oscar Merthie being joined by Andre Whitney of Seminole; Steve Johnson of Lake Howell and Craig Radzak of Lyman. All are juniors except for Merthie, a senior.
Seminole's Bill Klein was named coach of the year.

"Really?" My stomach lurches at the idea of another girl within five feet of him.
I giggle but he looks dead serious. "Wow, that must make you alone in the universe." I take a drink.
"This is the single most depressing fact I've ever heard." He drinks.
Traffic starts moving. I hang my hand out the window and hot wind blows through my fingers.
"Oh, right." I shake my head and regroup. "Is it true you have no regrets, not even one?" Hopefully he has no idea how serious I am about his response.

Home Page > Property Law Library > Landlord and tenant (general) > Subletting, sharing possession or occupation
This page deals with three issues
Was sharing of occupation a breach of the lease?
What did it mean to share possession or occupation?
A case in which the court, at the request of the head landlord, ordered an unlawful sub-tenant to give the property back to the tenant
See also the pages dealing with Consents and the Landlord and Tenant (Covenants) Act 1995 in this section of the site.
Sharing occupation - breach of covenant?
Mean Fiddler Holdings Ltd v Islington Borough Council
Question: Was there a sharing of occupation in breach of the lease?
The user clause provided that the tenant was not to use the property or any part of it "otherwise than as a licensed snooker and social club together with a restaurant discotheque and bar on the ground floor".
The alienation clause provided that the tenant was no to "share the possession of occupation of part only of the Property nor permit nor suffer any other person company or firm to occupy or share the occupation of the Property or any part of parts thereof whether as a licensee or otherwise".
T operated the venue by offering the club to external promoters who on their own account would stage club nights, taking full responsibility for admission revenues, advertising and administration burden. The promoters and artists were admitted one hour before the nightclub opened to prepare and set up. They were not provided with keys nor did they have access to any private parts of the club. The judge held that there was no breach of covenant and the Court of Appeal agreed.
".. this is one of those questions .. sometimes described as one of mixed fact and law, where there is no precise test... In my view, the starting point here was the nature of the permitted use, which involved such things as a social club, a discotheque and a restaurant... It involved the admission of the public ..[the judge] was entitled to treat the fact that the respondent in this case remained 'exclusively responsible for everything concerned with the property as opposed to the event' as being indicative of the fact that it had not shared occupation." (Carnwath LJ at paras 31-35)
"This was a question of interpretation of a contract, and therefore a question of law.. The test, in my opinion, is whether the promoter ... is operating a separate business on the premises from that carried on by the tenant... If, on the other hand, the tenant is carrying on a business and the promoter participates in that business under the tenant's supervision and control, I would not say that the promoter is sharing the occupation of the property. There would simply be one business run by the tenant and the promoter is participating in it." (Sir Christopher Staughton at paras 39 to 41).
Sharing possession
Akici v LR Butlin Ltd
[2005] EWCA Civ 1296
The covenant in the lease was in the following terms:
Not to .. part with possession of a part of the demised premises nor to share possession of the whole or any part of the demised premises nor to part with possession of the whole of the demised premises (except as hereinafter permitted) all of which are expressly prohibited.
It was held that there is a distinction between possession and occupation so that the covenant would only be breached if T parted with, or shared possession, but was not infringed if T merely parted with, or shared, occupation:
Neuberger LJ: .. it is perfectly possible for a lessee to permit a company, in which he has an interest, to occupy the demised premises for the purpose of its business, without parting with possession of those premises to that company.
In fact T had shared possession with a limited liability company, and that represented a breach of the covenant. The "elusive nature of the distinction" between sharing occupation and sharing possession; or between sharing possession or parting with possession was difficult to assess. The question boiled down to this:
"Did Mr Akici retain possession in himself alone and merely permit the company to occupy the premises or did the company share possession with Mr Akici?" (Neuberger LJ at para 44)
The company ran a takeaway pizza business from the premises. In coming to the conclusion that there had been a sharing of possession the following factors were relevant: the company enjoyed a degree of control over the premises that amounted to its having possession (albeit non-exclusive); the business was a relatively intensive one involving employees, all of whom were employed by the company; both the tenant and at least one of the employees of the company had a key; the company paid the rent directly to the landlord; and although at the relevant time the tenant did not have a direct interest in the company there was "little doubt that there was something of value to Mr Akici in this arrangement".
(See also the forfeiture page for consideration of whether or not the breach was capable of remedy and the inaccurate s146 notice that landed the landlord in a lot of trouble.)
Unlawful subletting - order to restore
Crestfort Limited v Tesco Stores Limited
[2005] EWHC 805 (Ch); [2005] 37 EG 148.
L managed to obtain an order requiring a sub-tenant to surrender the property to the tenant that had been sublet in breach of covenant.
The lease required any underlease to be on like terms to that of the lease:
Any permitted Underlease shall be granted subject to like covenants and conditions as are herein contained except as to the rent thereby reserved and the length of the term thereby granted."
The headlease contained a standard form full repairing covenant. The sublease included a repairing covenant but it was subject to the limitation that the subtenant was not required to put the premises into any better state of repair and condition than as at the date of the Underlease as evidenced by a schedule of condition that was attached.
The property was in a bad state of disrepair and a schedule of dilapidations had been served on T. L sought an injunction requiring that the underlease be surrendered. T sought a declaration that L had unreasonably refused consent to sublet so that it was free to do so without consent. (The reason given in fact had nothing to do with repair. T was in breach of an insurance obligation contained in the licence to assign under which T had taken the tenancy).
(1) The sub-lease was not in like terms to the head lease. Lightman J:
The term "like" does not import "identical" covenants, as is imported by the term "same": it imports similarity in substance without the need of similarity in form, detail or wording. Tesco plainly failed to include the "like" covenant in respect of repairs in the Underlease. The limitation by reference to the schedule of condition was substantial and meaningful: it was necessitated by the continuing default by Tesco to comply with its repairing covenant in the Lease.
(2) The requirement that the sublease be on like terms was a condition precedent to the ability to ask for consent to assignment. As the sublease did not satisfy the condition the question of reasonableness of Ls refusal did not arise (Allied Dunbar applied).
Accordingly by reason of the absence of a like repairing covenant in the Underlease the condition precedent to the existence of any obligation on the part of the Landlords to consider the application for consent to the grant of the Underlease to Magspeed was never satisfied. Tesco at all times therefore remained subject to an absolute obligation not to underlet and the Landlords at no time were under any obligation to consider Tesco's application for consent to underlet, section 1 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1988 had no application and the grant of the Underlease to Magspeed constituted a breach of covenant by Tesco
(3) It was possible to grant a mandatory injunction against the sub-tenant requiring it to give up the sub-lease because by agreeing to take the sublease it had committed the tort of wrongful interference with a contract. It was right to grant the injunction because the interference had been done knowingly and intentionally in the financial interests of T and the subtenant. Lightman J at paras 69 and 70:
The Landlords have accordingly in my judgment established that Tesco knowingly in breach of contract granted, and Magspeed tortiously accepted, the Underlease. In the circumstances in the absence of any equitable defence and any plea that its grant would be oppressive (and there is none pleaded, established or maintained) the Landlords are prima facie entitled to mandatory orders for surrender of the Underlease and should not be required to accept damages in its place.
the Landlords in justice should be granted the mandatory order which they seek and the grant of any lesser relief would be inadequate, for interference with their rights was knowing and deliberate to serve the Defendants' financial interests.
(4) The judge also awarded L damages against both T and the subtenant, to be assessed by reference to the sum L might reasonably have demanded at the date of the breach of covenant, or commission of the tort, for relaxing the alienation covenant so as to permit the underletting. However, Im not quite sure why the judge considered that damages should be awarded given that he granted an injunction and damages are usually awarded on the basis suggested in lieu of an injunction. He simply said this at para 75.
Tesco then took the point that the experts in their joint report contemplate the award of damages in lieu of and not in addition to an injunction. This is correct, but the failure to contemplate the eventuality of an award of damages in addition should not preclude such an award unless to make such an award would occasion injustice to the Defendants. It has not been suggested that the award would occasion any injustice. No injustice can be occasioned so long as the Defendants are afforded the protection which they are afforded by this judgment.


Provider approved by the Florida Council of Dietetics and Nutrition.
Norovirus is the predominant cause of acute gastroenteritis, causing both sporadic cases and outbreaks. It is estimated to be the causative agent for over 23 million gastroenteritis cases occurring every year in the U.S. Norovirus gastroenteritis infections commonly occur in healthcare settings. In fact, healthcare institutions, such as hospitals and nursing homes, are the most frequently reported settings for norovirus outbreaks in the United States and other industrialized countries.
Norovirus gastrointestinal infections can be particularly problematic in long-term care facilities. Due to the close proximity of living quarters, communal spaces, the reduced levels of personal hygiene and mobility of residents, along with the extreme contagious nature of the virus, norovirus can spread quickly in these types of facilities. Most long-term care facilities are populated by elderly residents and/or individuals who have significant underlying medical conditions. This makes them a susceptible and vulnerable group for norovirus infections. Due to these challenges, it is vitally important for long-term care facilities to implement measures and policies to prevent norovirus infections and take swift infection control actions if an outbreak is suspected.
This instructional course has been designed primarily for nurses and infection prevention and control practitioners working and caring for residents in long-term care facilities. However, other care providers such as epidemiologists, facility administrators, environmental services, and other long-term care staff members will find the course information useful. The course is designed to be applicable to various types of long-term care settings and follows the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's latest HICPAC Guideline for the Prevention of Norovirus.
Describe specific challenges associated with norovirus outbreaks in post acute care facilities.
List the various methods for limiting the spread of norovirus through isolation, cohorting and contact precautions.
Describe internal communication procedures during norovirus outbreaks.
When is it an outbreak?

Delightful Board Meetings
A recipe for effective and enjoyable startup board meetings
The folklore of bad board meetings at venture-backed startups is too strong to ignore.
Desultory meetings run by sleep-deprived CEOs pulling all-nighters to get the board slides done. Frantic product teams racing to cobble together an innovation demo for the just-conjured roadmap. And let's not forget cranky, unprepared investors asking minutia questions about slide #4 that will be fully answered on slide #7.
What if you could flip all that into a truly delightful collaboration between founders and investors that help the business stay true to its purpose and (hopefully) achieve great success?
Recent events pushing leadership teams to all-remote sessions makes it all the more important to pick the right strategy and structure for board effectiveness. …

Welcome to the Future of Coffee
Obvious invests in Taika
I'm excited to share the story behind our investment in Taika: a new kind of functional beverage company based in San Francisco, CA.
We first met Taika co-founders Michael Sharon and Kal Freese in early 2019. We were on a quest to find and fund a next-generation beverage company that could deliver a health and wellness boost alongside the taste and quality of a world-class coffee or tea to start the day.
The Taika founders were on a similar journey they call Stealth Health — a vision to hijack everyday food and beverage habits with efficacious wellness benefits. …

Announcing Obvious Ventures' Third Fund: $271,828,182
Today we're announcing our third fund, OV3. In the Obvious tradition, this fund size has an interesting number: $271,828,182. It's a nod to one of the most important constants in mathematics: Euler's Number, universally known as e.
The number e (2.71828182…) is the limit of (1 + 1/n)ⁿ as n approaches infinity. You may have learned about it studying compounding interest or calculus. It's named e after Leonhard Euler (pronounced "Oiler"), who is downright legendary in mathematics. More details for math nerds below the fold.
e is essential to the mathematics of proportional growth, and OV3 marks an important growth milestone for Obvious. As we enter our seventh year as a firm, we've grown a diverse portfolio of companies that are disrupting huge industries in world positive ways. In 2019 we saw our first portfolio exits, including the IPO of Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND) — a strong financial return for Obvious and other Beyond Meat investors. …
The Inspiring Purpose of Incredible Health

She received her MD in London, subsequently focusing on systemic healthcare challenges with stints at Booz & Co., the Harvard School of Public Health, and McKinsey & Co. After moving to the U.S. and completing her MBA at Wharton, she went to work at a clinical-grade mobile health startup. …
Vitamins Reimagined
How a Seasoned Entrepreneur Created a Category Disruptor
On April 18, 2019 Unilever announced the acquisition of Olly into their family of global brands. Obvious Ventures is fortunate to be the largest investor in Olly and I've had a ringside seat since the beginning. Here's my quick story of how a San Francisco startup reimagined the vitamins category and built a valuable new brand in record time.
The story begins (and repeats) with Eric Ryan. Eric is the co-founder and CEO of Olly, who set out in 2014 on a mission to make nutrition fun and easy so consumers could pursue good health without compromise.
Olly is Eric's second act. He first co-founded Method, which disrupted the hand soap and cleaning products categories with beautifully designed products. I met Eric in the early Method days, when I was an investor and board member in Method competitor Seventh Generation (also acquired by Unilever). Even though we were "frenemies" in the marketplace, we became fast friends around our shared belief in purpose-driven business. …
Welcoming Di-Ann Eisnor
Our new Venture Partner at Obvious Ventures
Di-Ann is always on the move. In 2009 she started the U.S. office of Waze, the community-driven navigation service we all know and love. Di-Ann was Director of Growth for Waze including platform, business development, and marketing (acquired by Google 2013). While at Waze she founded the Waze Connected Citizens Program which worked with 650 cities and departments of transportation to use data to reduce congestion and improve emergency response times.
Currently Di-Ann is incubating new urban systems at Google's Area 120 and, in parallel, joining us at Obvious to help find and fund world positive startups across the full stack of urban infrastructure. …
Congratulations Nan Li
Artificial Intelligence Meets Human Intuition
Today I'm pleased to announce that my teammate Nan Li has been promoted to Managing Director at Obvious Ventures.
I have a flash bulb memory of when my co-founder Vishal Vasishth showed me Nan's resume almost four years ago. I saw a rare combination of technical, startup, and venture experience and immediately called him. It didn't take long from that phone call to welcome Nan to a Principal role on the Obvious investment team.

Govern Like You Give a Damn
Three upgrades for startup and venture capital governance
In recent months, the news has been filled with examples of unethical and sometimes criminal behavior occurring across the technology industry, inside startups, and inside investment firms. This is a wake up call for VCs and entrepreneurs to put more time and effort into culture, values, and better governance systems at the earliest stages of startup formation.
If you want a more detailed examination of the issues, I recommend this Stanford GSB "Closer Look" paper entitled Governance Gone Wild: Epic Misbehavior at Uber Technologies.
Rather than pile onto the mountain of negative news about the technology industry, it's time to roll up our sleeves and work on solutions. …

#worldpositive investor @ Obvious Ventures (and the former CEO @ Xmarks, Xoom, & Ofoto)


The temperament and leadership styles of passionate leaders can facilitate outstanding success or predispose to catastrophic failures. The performance of leaders and the profitability of their organizations is diminished when their judgment, strategic vision, timing and communication patterns are undermined by crises and personal issues. As business, NGO, creative leaders and independent contributors falter, the impact of their issues reverberates throughout the organization, often affecting customers and external constituencies as well.
•Remoralization of leaders, teams and organizations during and after a crisis.

The line about whether you bleed blue or wear the red is especially poignant. That's because not only do Blues and Blackhawks fans self-identify with those colors, but so do Democrats and Republicans.
Donald Trump, who trailed Hillary Clinton 3% in most polls heading into the election, is the president-elect after a huge turnout from impassioned rural voters in battleground states and the rust belt. While Trump's electoral college victory was decisive, Clinton remains the leader in the popular vote. In several of the country's biggest cities Wednesday night, protests erupted detesting Trump's politics and demagoguery during his campaign while the hashtag #NotMyPresident trended on Twitter all day.
Missouri, whose 10 electoral votes went to Donald Trump that night, is two years removed from angry protests and riots after Michael Brown, an 18-year-old black man, was fatally shot by Darren Wilson, a 28-year-old white police officer. Ferguson, where the shooting occurred, is a suburb of St. Louis.
The Blues called the anthem singing Wednesday "a new Veteran's Game tradition in St. Louis." What a perfect time to start it.

Depositors' money safe, to complete merger on time: Lakshmi Vilas Bank administrator
Mumbai, Nov 18 (PTI) Lakshmi Vilas Bank has enough liquidity to pay back its 20-lakh depositors and will complete the proposed merger with the Singaporean lender DBS before the deadline, the Reserve Bank-appointed administrator said on Wednesday.
The Reserve Bank of India on Tuesday superseded the Lakshmi Vilas Bank board and placed the 94-year-old Chennai based lender under a 30-day moratorium ending December 16, after its net worth turned negative and a quarter of its advances became dud loans and it failed to get capital despite many attempts.
The regulator also appointed the former non-executive chairman of Canara Bank TN Manoharan as the administrator of the crippled private sector lender for the 30-day moratorium period.
LVB is the third bank to be placed under moratorium since September last year after the cooperative bank PMC in 2019 and private sector lender Yes Bank this March. While Yes bank has successfully been revived under the guidance of State Bank, the PMC resolution is still a far cry.
'We're closely monitoring the availability of cash in currency chests and also coordinating with the regulator to ensure that at no branch - there will be any shortage of currency even if a significant number of depositors turn up to withdraw the permissible amount.
'We have the full backing of the regulator to ensure that there is no cash shortfall. Nobody needs to get panicky about the safety of their money,' Manoharan told reporters in a concall that lasted over 90 minutes.
Reacting to the development the LVB counter tanked 20 per cent to Rs 12.40 on the BSE against the benchmark Sensex gaining 0.52 per cent to close above the 44,000-mount for the first time.
Manoharan said LVB has Rs 20,070 crore in deposits as of today, of which Rs 14,000 crore are term-deposits and Rs 6,070 crore savings and current account deposits from 20-odd-lakh depositors.
Its loan book stood at Rs 17,000 crore, Manoharan said, adding while deposits have come down to Rs 20,070 crore as of today from Rs 20,973 crore as of September-end, advances have increased to Rs 17,325 crore from Rs 16,622 crore as of September-end.
Manoharan also said that since last evening when the moratorium was clamped the bank saw only Rs 10 crore withdrawal through ATMs.
'There is no run on the bank and the bank has enough liquidity. No depositor need to get worried about the safety of the money,' he reiterated.
When asked what makes him so confident of the merger getting through as many institutional investors have already threatened to challenge the RBI proposal to completely write off the value of all LVB shares to zero upon merger and an automatic delisting, Manoharan said the RBI will listen to every stakeholder before coming out with the final merger scheme on November 20 as the current one is only a draft.
'The regulator will hear everybody concerned before issuing the final merger scheme. Also, we will not bypass any regulations. Every regulation will be complied to,' he added.
Retail investors own 45 per cent of the bank now but according to the present scheme, stand to lose every penny of their investment. With 4.99 per cent stake, the single largest institutional investor is Indiabulls Housing Finance with which it tried to merge in April 2019 but was scuttled by the RBI in October that year.
Then in June this year, it announced a merger scheme with a small-time NBFC Clix Captial group but that too failed, leading to the current development.
Other institutional investors include Prolific Finvest (3.36 per cent), Srei Infrastructure Finance (3.34), MN Dastur & Co (1.89), Capri Global Holdings (1.82), Capri Global Advisory Services (2), Boyance Infrastructure (1.36) and Trinity Alternative Investment Managers (1.61).
On why the moratorium was clamped even as there is no run on the bank as yet and also despite the new banking regulation law allows the RBI to supersede a bank without a moratorium, he said, 'let's not question the judgment of the regulator who has considered all the right options before this exercise'.
Manoharan listed out his top four priorities as assuring depositors that their money is absolutely safe, assure all the 4,100 employees that their jobs and salaries are fully secure, get the bank back to business and finally to steer the merger with DBS India.
LVB reported a net loss of Rs 836.04 crore in the year to March 2020. The bank had recorded a net loss of Rs 396.99 crore in the September quarter this fiscal, up from Rs 357.17 crore a year ago.
Net NPAs or bad loans stood at 7.01 per cent of the net loans in September 2020, as against 10.24 per cent in March 2020 and 10.47 per cent in September 2019, while its gross NPAs stood at over 24 per cent in Q2.
Manoharan said the bank has no tier 1 debt, while its tier II debt stands at Rs 368 crore as of now.
If the merger goes through, DBS Group will pump in an additional Rs 2,500 crore into the DBS India which will be pushed into the core capital of LVB upfront. That apart DBS India has a regulatory capital of Rs 7,193 crore, which will ensure that the merged entity will have common capital of 12.15 per cent as against minus 1.9 per cent for LVB now.
LVB's troubles started after it shifted its focus to lending to large businesses from SMEs. Its loans of nearly Rs 720 crore to the investment arms of Malvinder Singh and Shivinder Singh -- former promoters of pharma major Ranbaxy and Fortis Healthcare -- against fixed deposits of Rs 794 crore made with the bank in late 2016 and early 2017, also turned the bank turtle.
LVB had sought the RBI's nod to amalgamate itself with Indiabulls Housing Finance in May 2019 to meet its capital requirements. However, the deal could not get regulatory approval because of the RBI's aversion to let realty-focused entities into commercial banking. In June 2020, the bank had signed a preliminary, non-binding letter of intent with Clix Group for a possible merger.
LVB was started by seven businessmen of Karur under the leadership of VSN Ramalinga Chettiar in November 1926 and today it has 566 branches and 918 ATMs across 19 states and one union territory. PTI BEN BAL

If the curvature of the Earth is seen in any photos, flat-Earthers are quick to dismiss it as the result of a fisheye lens. Some of their claims are obviously true: a picture of the horizon taken near the surface should look practically flat.
But the opposite happens quite often. The unscrupulous types would look over hours of footage taken using fisheye lenses from high altitude and cherry-pick frames where the fisheye lens makes the curved horizon appears flat.
Then they would embed these to memes and distribute them. Many unsuspecting individuals didn't bother to verify the facts and became victims of the flat-Earth indoctrination through this scheme.

Curated by the NAC Orchestra's principal flute Joanna G'froerer, this lively edition of NACO at the Fourth features a spirited confection of chamber music written by brilliant composers past and present.
Among the selections is Mélanie Bonis's utterly contagious Flute en trio, Op. 59, which opens languidly and ends with playful energy. Severely underrated as a composer, she composed under the name Mel Bonis, believing a masculine name would allow her to be taken more seriously. In fact, Camille Saint-Saëns, who praised her chamber music, couldn't believe it hadn't been written by a man!
Messiaen's Le Merle noir (The Blackbird), written with neither time signature nor key, balances tension with peace, and was inspired by the composer's lifelong love of birds and bird song.
Conjuring the flight and fancy of butterflies, and full of rich colours, Valerie Coleman's Danza de la Mariposa for solo flute takes us on a melodic tour of South America.
Composer Elizabeth Brown's Liguria, which she wrote during a residency in Italy in 1999, comprises layers, echoes, and shadows of themes set in a resonant, pulsing sound world.
