 State-owned Janata Bank Limited is facing a big financial risk as a result of paying loans to unscrupulous borrowers. 77% of the total distributed loans of Janata Bank Limited has gone into the grips of five branches which are local official branch, Janata Bhaban Corporate Branch, Motijheel Corporate Branch, Dilkusha Corporate Branch and Sadharon Bima Corporate Branch in Chattogram.This correspondent made several phone calls to Janata Bank Limited's Managing Director Md. Abdul Jabbar but he could not be reached over phone.Most of the banks in Bangladesh have been suffering from mammoth loads of defaulted loans. On top of that massive sums of defaulted loans are being rescheduled on a regular basis which further worsens the condition of the banking sector. Rescheduling bank loans happened only in state-owned banks during 2012 but later on it affected private banks too. Bangladesh Bank also agrees with the idea of rescheduling bank loans. Entrepreneurs were allowed three years time during Covid 19 pandemic to pay back their loans. Now the pandemic situation has much improved but still banks are not being able to recover defaulted loans from their clients.  Bangladesh Bank's information shows that bank loans of around 26 thousand crore taka were rescheduled during 2021 and 2022. During the same period loan interest of approximately 3.5 thousand crore taka was waived. Big sums of defaulted loans were also written off in previous years. Financial sources have informed that the magnitude of defaulted loans has crossed 2 trillion taka including written off debts. Banks usually write off loans when reserving 100% security deposit (provision) becomes impossible. However, official figures show that the amount of defaulted loans stood at 1 lakh 56 thousand 274 crore taka till September 2023.State-owned banks wrote off 19 thousand 219 crore taka from January to September 2022. 41 private banks wrote off 24 thousand 953 crore 50 lakh taka during the same period. During the same time 9 foreign banks wrote off 1 thousand 71 crore taka and 3 specialized banks wrote off 365 crore taka. Financial experts have commented that these amounts have very little likelihood to be paid back. Latest News #Janata #Bank #faces #big #financial #risk

#DilkushaKothi is the remains of an eighteenth-century house built in the English baroque style in the quiet #Dilkusha area of #Lucknow in India. Today there are only a few towers and external walls as a monument, though the extensive gardens remain. The house was shelled during its involvement in the Lucknow siege in 1857 together with the Residency and the nearby school of La Martiniere. https://www.instagram.com/p/CbCnOrLPtl1/?utm_medium=tumblr

[musings-from-an-elder-goth]

Saw this amazing photo here on tumblr of this goth from distant yesteryear, and just couldn't resist doing some research. Her name is Betty Linley (not Lindley). She was born in Malmesbury, England in 1890 as Elizabeth Mouat-Biggs and she died on May 8th, 1951 in New York City. She has two IMDB entries, one under 'Lindley' for Duds (1920) and one under 'Linley' for The Heiress (1949) and The Ford Theater Hour (1950), but she was primarily a busy stage actress appearing in Broadway plays from 1921 through 1950 (see below link - although they have her date of birth listed incorrectly).

There's also a lovely mini-biography from her great neice, Jennifer Linley Taylor, posted on the National Portrait Gallery site for the above portrait which reads: "This series of photos are of my Great Aunt Betty Linley. She was born in Malmesbury, England in 1890 as Elizabeth Mouat-Biggs. There is an error here in the spelling of her stage name Linley. I came across this particular photo this morning during a visit to New York City. Last night I went to a play at The Helen Hayes Theater. It got me thinking about my Great Aunt Betty who had been an actress here for many years, and had been in a play with Helen. I decided to google her, and to my surprise I found that her last name had been spelt wrong in quite a few places. I also saw that a number of people seemed to be curious about her and were questioning who she was, but could get no further information, probably because of this error. Betty was 24 in the photo’s that are posted here. I have never seen them before, and although I have many photos and articles about Betty and her career as an actress, these are especially captivating. She was best know for her role in the movie “The Heiress” (1949) and was the only actor from the original cast of the Broadway show asked to be in the film version. Olivia de Havilland won an Academy Award for best actress for her role. I have corresponded with Olivia and she sent me a very lovely letter about her experience's with Betty whilst filming together."

"Betty and my Grandmother Mary Linley were both actresses. They left England to tour with a theater company in East Asia at the onset of WWI, probably soon after these photos were taken. It was in Japan that Mary met my Grandfather Albert. They fell in love, and he eventually bought out both of their contracts so that he could marry my Grandmother and Betty could go to New York to pursue her Broadway dreams. Mary moved to Seoul, Korea where her new husband lived. She wrote a book about her adventures called "Chain of Amber".

"Betty and Mary chose their stage name Linley after ancestors from the 1700's, a famous musical family, the Linley's of Bath. Elizabeth Linley, a beautiful world-class soprano was married to Richard Brinsley Sheridan and her sister Mary Linley, also a singer, to the poet Richard Tickell. There are several portraits by Gainsborough of them and their younger brother Thomas at the Dulwich Picture Gallery, The Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Clark Museum. Betty and Mary used to dress up in gowns that had been passed down through the generations from Elizabeth Sheridan and Mary Tickell. My Grandmother lost one gown in a fire in Korea and eventually donated the other one to the Fashion Museum in Bath. I still have in my possession one of Elizabeth's shoe's from the 1750's."

"Mary's son my Father Bruce Tickell Taylor recently passed away at the age of 96. He wrote a book about his life called "Dilkusha by the Ginko Tree", which was the name of our family home in Seoul, Korea. One of my current projects is that I am working on bringing Mary's book "Chain of Amber" from book to film."

"I am so thrilled to have stumbled across these delightful photos of Betty. My Grandmother always used to tell me that I reminded her so much of her elder sister. I regret that I never had the pleasure of knowing her. Betty Linley passed away on May 9th, 1951 in New York City." -Jennifer Linley Taylor 28 October 2015, 19:57

Sadly, Duds (1920) is a lost film with no known copies still in existence (unless someone knows otherwise - if so, please scan and post!).

Fortunately, we still have The Heiress (1949) and it's posted on the Internet Movie Database, free for all to watch (jump to 43:00 in the timeline if you just want to see a Betty Linley scene). I have to say, Mrs. Linley aged very well, even if she was destined to die a bit too young. And the sharp of eye will catch that not only did Mrs. Linley play the character of Mrs. Montgomery in the film version of The Heiress, but she also played that character in both Broadway versions in 1947 and 1950.

So, now you know all about the wonderful portrait of the lovely and talented Betty Linley, The Goth Girl from 1914.
