Texas Enteprise Speaker Series, May 9, 2013, The University of Texas at Austin.
The Cypriot bank deposit crisis has put a modern spin on Mark Twain's "It's not the return on my money but the return OF my money that counts." The unthinkable possibilities ahead emanate from the epic gap between a government's financing needs and its ability to sell debt. This has prompted politicians to consider options that were previously considered unthinkable.
You will learn —
The magnitude of the shortfalls in government funding
The adverse effects of the monetary fixes that are already underway
The means that governments use to confiscate private wealth
The protections being devised by private citizens
The possibility of new reserve currencies and global wealth reallocation
The Texas gold depository as an example of the unthinkables that lie ahead.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

1. Building Financial Capability
During a “New Normal” in
Personal Finance
Barbara O’Neill, Ph.D., CFP®, CRPC®
Professor II, Rutgers University
oneill@aesop.rutgers.edu
2. What is Financial Capability?
• New buzz word that is replacing “financial literacy”
• It is not just what you know but what you do with what
you know (i.e., focuses on behavior)
– Financial literacy is the ability to understand personal finance
concepts
– Financial capability refers to an individual's ability to make
informed judgments and effective decisions about the use and
management of their money
• President's Advisory Council on Financial Capability
renamed in January 2010
• National Financial Capability Challenge
– http://www.challenge.treas.gov/
2
3. FINRA Financial Capability Study (2009)
• Four key components
– Making Ends Meet
– Planning Ahead
– Managing Financial Products
– Financial Knowledge and Decision-Making
• Study Results:
http://www.finrafoundation.org/web/groups/foundation/
@foundation/documents/foundation/p120535.pdf
3
4. Key Survey Findings (N =1,488)
• 49% reported difficulty keeping up with monthly expenses
(14% very difficult; 35% somewhat difficult)
• 23% reported occasionally overdrawing checking account
• 16% were late with a mortgage payment at least once in
last two years (including 10% late > once)
• Only 41% reported having college savings for children
• Only 49% had an emergency fund of 3 months expenses
• 23% used high-cost “alternative” borrowing methods
(e.g., payday loans and pawn shops)
4
5. Four Presentation Topics
• “New Normal” financial realities
• Pre- and post-financial crisis research findings
• 10 “New Normal” student financial learning
needs
• YOUR personal and professional “New
Normal”
5
6. Let’s Start With an Analogy
The “New
Normal” and
the Trump
Plaza Hotel
(Atlantic
City, NJ)
6
7. What is the “New Normal”?
• A constellation of economic events coming together
• Different trends than those experienced previously
• Puts a “framework” on recent events
– People like to identify patterns to make sense of them
• Instructive but always subject to change
– Dangerous to assume that “New Normal” will last indefinitely
– Some emerging trends will have long-lasting impact, however
(e.g., questioning benefit sustainability) 7
8. Characteristics of the “New Normal”
An extended period of:
• Slow U.S. economic growth and deleveraging
• Low single-digit average annual stock returns
• Stubbornly high unemployment levels
• Precarious job security (public and private sector)
• Tightened credit standards
• Increased government regulation
• Increased precautionary household savings and debt repayment
• Decreased household spending
• Ultimately, when financial crisis abates, higher inflation (? )
(minority view: deleveraging will negate government debt) 8
9. Why a New Normal?
We didn’t just have a perfect storm…
…We had a perfect TORNADO!!!
9
10. Recent Financial Shocks
• Recession/Shrinking economy (GDP)
• Collapsed and merged investment banks
• Bank failures and government takeovers
• Increasing cost of basic necessities
• Mortgage defaults and high foreclosure rates
• Declining home values
• High unemployment rates, flat wages
• Bear market/stock market volatility
• Increased poverty rates and rich-poor “wealth gaps”
• “The Paradox of Thrift” 10
11. The “Paradox of Thrift” (Economic Term)
What’s good for individuals (saving more and spending
less) is bad for the economy when everyone does it.
11
12. A “New Normal” Was Inevitable
• Previous economic trends were unsustainable
– “Housing (real estate) bubble” (inflated prices)
– “Credit bubble” (household overspending and reckless lending)
– Securitization turned toxic (subprime mortgages)
– Risky pools of derivative securities tied to toxic mortgages
(e.g., credit default swaps, credit default obligations)
• Increased post-crisis government oversight
• Reaction (over-reaction?) by financial services firms
12
13. Four Common Aftermaths of Financial Crises
• Deep and prolonged asset market collapses
– Housing prices
– Stock market indices
• Profound declines in output (deleveraging)
• High unemployment (in both public and private
sector)
• Explosion in government debt as tax revenues
decline
13
14. 2011 Federal Reserve Study
• Re-interviewed almost 4,000 families in 2007 SCF from
7/09 to 01/10 to examine effects of financial crisis
• Fourth Quarter 2007:
– 3% annual growth rate in U.S. GDP
– 5% unemployment rate
• First Quarter 2009:
– Continued GDP declines
– Extreme stock market volatility
– Unemployment rate continued to rise
• Fourth Quarter 2009:
– Strong GDP growth and sizable equity market gains
– 10% unemployment rate 14
15. So What Exactly Happened?
• Median income declined slightly: $50,100 to $49,800
• 62.5% of families had wealth declines; sizable % gained
• Median percentage change was -18%
• Largest dollar decline was for primary residences
• Median total debt rose from $70,300 to $75,600
• Wealthiest families took the largest hit
– Disproportionate losses in capital gains and business income
• Younger respondents had smallest change in wealth
• Majority of families passively accepted changes in portfolio
driven by changing asset prices
15
http://www.federalreserve.gov/pubs/feds/2011/201117/201117pap.pdf
16. Baby Boomers and Older Gen Xers
Especially Affected By the Financial Crisis
• Fully experienced, not just one asset bubble- BUT
TWO- during long stretches of their working lives
– “Tech Bubble” and extraordinary run of double-digit stock
market returns in late 1990s
– “Housing Bubble” during much of the 2000s
• Limited recovery time for battered investments
• Money Magazine (April 2009):
“A generation of Americans grew into middle
age thinking that they had more wealth than
they really did and their future was a lot more
secure than it really was.” 16
17. How People Receive “Bad News”
DABDA Model (Elizabeth Kubler-Ross Model)
17
18. For Some, the Dream of Upward
Mobility Appears to be Slipping Away
18
19. The “Retirement Planning Grief Cycle”
• Denial: “Not to Worry. This is just a blip and things will get back to
normal soon” OR “I’ll be OK. I’ve had this job for 20 years”
• Anger: “This isn’t fair. They’re taking away [X]” OR “I’m really mad.
They’re cutting my retirement benefits”
• Bargaining: “Maybe they won’t lay me off if I agree to a pay cut” OR “I’ll
ask the union to demand they exempt older employees from this change”
• Depression: “It’s hopeless. I’ll never be able to retire” OR “I’ll probably
end up a bag lady when I’m older”
• Testing: “If I adjust my spending or work a little longer, I could probably
still retire comfortably” OR “I’ll do some work on the side to make up for
what I lost from the pay freeze”
• Acceptance: “I’m OK. I have a new financial plan for my retirement” OR
19
“I’ve figured out a few good ways to live on less”
20. 10 Key Student Financial Learning Needs
1. “The Basics” (e.g., expense tracking, emergency funds, goals)
2. Creative frugality (e.g., “stepping down,” substitutions)
3. Entrepreneurship skills (increased self-employment is predicted)
4. Budgeting for variable incomes (“cash flow calendar”)
5. Changing employee benefit plan options
6. Defining “success” in non-economic terms
7. Investment characteristics and techniques
8. Human capital investments (increases resilience)
9. Health-wealth relationships
10.The power of optimism, focus, and planning
20
21. “New Normal” Learning Needs
1. “The Basics” (e.g., expense tracking, emergency
funds, goal-setting with specific targets)
– Planning increases control and success, reduces stress
2. Creative Frugality (e.g., “stepping down,” living
on a reduced income, reduced spending)
3. Entrepreneurship Skills (more self-employed
predicted; up to 40% of U.S. workers by 2020)
4. Budgeting for Variable Incomes (“cash flow
calendar” with surplus and deficit months) 21
22. More “New Normal” Learning Needs
5. Changing employee benefit plan options
– NN Reality: Future benefits will be less attractive
6. Define “success” in non-economic terms
– Relationships, creative frugality, less “stuff”
7. Investment characteristics, techniques
– Historical asset returns; dollar-cost averaging
– Young adults may be shying away from stock market:
http://www.newsweek.com/2010/09/07/young-adults-invest-
conservatively-post-recession.html 22
23. Still More “New Normal” Learning Needs
8. Human capital investments
– Increases resilience during tough times
– Experts recommend personal “branding” strategies
9. Health-wealth relationships
– Cost of smoking, obesity, poor health habits
10. The power of optimism, focus, planning
– In NN, easy to feel that the future will be worse
– Rutgers research: students feeling unfulfilled

24. Research Study (O’Neill & Xiao): Are Post-
Financial Crisis Financial Practices Any Different?
• Data collected from online Financial Fitness Quiz
• URL: http://njaes.rutgers.edu/money/ffquiz/

– 5,440 from 1/1/05 - 12/31/07
– 5,221 from 1/1/08 – 12/31/10
– Self-reported financial practices
• Chose 12/07 as cut-off: NBER declared recession 24
25. 12 Financial Practices Showed Significant-But
Very Modest- Time Period Differences
• Have enough money to pay • Adequate insurance for big
for an emergency expenses
• Written financial goals with a • Have a current will
date and cost
• Less than 20% of take-home
• Written spending plan
(budget) pay spent on consumer debt
