[www.keralites.net] Just Decide and Do it...

 

What holds you back is not a lack of resources. 
For even when you start with almost nothing, 
there is a sure pathway to the goal.

What holds you back is not an absence of opportunity. 
For even in the most desperate situations, there is always 
the opportunity to make a valuable, positive, powerful difference.
 
Most likely, the thing that holds you back more than anything else is the 
lack of a firm commitment to move forward. And that's great news, 
because that is something you can most certainly change.
 
Whatever you truly decide to do, will get done. 
Where you truly decide to go, you will be.
 
When you decide to, you will find what it takes to work through any challenge. 
When you decide to, you can take whatever may come and dig the real value out of it.
 
Decide to, and you unleash a powerful, focused, creative force. 
Decide to, and you will.
 
~Ralph Marston~

[www.keralites.net] How to transfer Public Provident Fund (PPF) Account

 

How to transfer Public Provident Fund (PPF) Account
 
Public provident fund (PPF) account can be transferred to one post office or bank to another post office or another branch of same bank or other authorized banks authorized by the Public provident scheme.
 
The transfer of the public provident fund account needed in the case of change the location of the investors or any other reason may be. So it makes difficult for the investor to operate the account in the old post office or bank branch. The transfer of account means there is closing the old PPF account and opening the new one.
 
For transferring the account, the investor needs to write an application to the post office or the bank where the account is maintained along with the PPF account transfer form (SB-10-B).
 
The form should be filled according to the new post office or branch where the investor wants to maintain his account. In this form all the details regarding the existing account as well as the branch where the account  required should be filled.
 
The existing branch or post office verifies the signature of the account holder and closes the account with issuing a demand draft or pay order along with the account details of the investor, nomination form  and signature proof to the post office or branch desired by the investor.
 
The investor can change the nomination on transferring the account to other branch or post office. The account will be treated as old account and the balance will be shown as brought forward.
 
A new passbook will be issued to the investor and the balance is transferred to the new account.

[www.keralites.net] Why do the British pronounce “Z” as “Zed”?

 

It's not just the British that pronounce "z" as "zed". The vast majority of the English speaking world does this. The primary exception, of course, is in the United States where "z" is pronounced "zee".

The British and others pronounce "z", "zed", owing to the origin of the letter "z", the Greek letter "Zeta". This gave rise to the Old French "zede", which resulted in the English "zed" around the 15th century.

As to why people in the United States call "z", "zee", it is thought that this is likely simply adopted from the pronunciation of the letters "bee", "cee", "dee", "eee", "gee", "pee", "tee", and "vee".

The first known instance of "zee" being recorded as the correct pronunciation of the letter "z" was in Lye's New Spelling Book, published in 1677. There still was a variety of common pronunciations in North America after this; but by the 19th century, this changed in the United States with "zee" firmly establishing itself thanks to Daniel Webster putting his seal of approval on it in 1827, and, of course, the Alphabet song copyrighted in 1835, rhyming "z" with "me".

Because of the alphabet song, the pronunciation of "z" as "zee" has started to spread, much to the chagrin of elementary school teachers the English speaking world over. This has resulted in them often having to re-teach children the "correct" pronunciation of "z" as "zed", with the children having previously learned the song and the letter the American English way from such shows as Sesame Street.

Naturally, kids are often resistant to this change owing to the fact that "tee, u, vee, w, x, y and zed, Now I know my A-B-Cs, Next time won't you sing with me" just doesn't quite sound as cohesive as "tee/vee/zee/me".

Because of the problem at the end of the alphabet song with "zed" not really fitting, a variety of other endings have been created to accommodate this, such as this one:

a-b-c-d-e-f-g
h-i-j-k-lmnop
q-r-s
tu-v
w-x
y and z
Sugar on your bread
Eat it all up
Before you are dead.

Other pronunciations of "z" you might hear in the English speaking world include: zod, zad, zard, ezod, izzard, and uzzard.

Bonus Facts:

  • The alphabet song is based on the French "Ah, vous dirai-je, maman", which popped up in 1761 and a couple decades later Mozart used it in his Twelve Variations on Ah, vous dirai-je, maman. This tune is also used for such children's songs as Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and Baa, Baa, Black Sheep.
  • The letters Z and Y are the only two letters Latin borrowed directly from Greek, rather than getting them from Etruscan.
