Credit ratings are evaluations of a debtor's ability to pay back debt, conducted by credit rating agencies. They use both public and private qualitative and quantitative information to assess risk of default. Credit ratings indicate the likelihood that bond obligations will be paid back and are used by investors to determine risk-return tradeoffs. Higher credit ratings indicate lower risk while lower ratings suggest higher risk of default. The document outlines the meaning and purpose of credit ratings, benefits to investors and companies, types of ratings, major credit rating agencies, and their methodology.

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 Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

purchase the bonds issued by companies and governments to
determine the likelihood that the government will pay its bond
obligations.

opinion that the company or government has a high risk
of defaulting, based on the agency's analysis of the entity's
history and analysis of long term economic prospects.

i.e., a national government. The sovereign credit rating indicates the
risk level of the investing environment of a country and is used by
investors looking to invest abroad. It takes political risk into
account.
• SHORT TERM RATING
A short-term rating is a probability factor of an individual going
into default within a year. This is in contrast to long-term rating
which is evaluated over a long timeframe. In the past institutional
investors preferred to consider long-term ratings. Nowadays, short-
term ratings are commonly used.

11. BENEFITS OF CREDIT RATING
To the investors
Helps in Investment Decision : Credit rating gives an idea to the
investors about the credibility of the issuer company, and the risk factor
attached to a particular instrument. So the investors can decide whether to
invest in such companies or not. Higher the rating, the more will be the
willingness to invest in these instruments and visa-versa.
Benefits of Rating Reviews : The rating agency regularly reviews the rating
given to a particular instrument. So, the present investors can decide whether
to keep the instrument or to sell it. For e.g. if the instrument is downgraded,
then the investor may decide to sell it and if the rating is maintained or
upgraded, he may decide to keep the instrument until the next rating or
maturity.
Assurance of Safety : High credit rating gives assurance to the investors about
the safety of the instrument and minimum risk of bankruptcy. The companies
which get a high rating for their instruments, will try to
maintain healthy financial discipline. This will protect them from bankruptcy.
So the investors will be safe.
12. BENEFITS OF CREDIT RATING
Easy Understandability of Investment Proposal : The rating agencies gives
rating symbols to the instrument, which can be easily understood by investors.
This helps them to understand the investment proposal of an issuer company.
For e.g. AAA (Triple A), given by CRISIL for debentures ensures highest
safety, whereas debentures rated D are in default or expect to default on
maturity.
Choice of Instruments : Credit rating enables an investor to select a particular
instrument from many alternatives available. This choice depends upon the
safety or risk of the instrument.
Saves Investor's Time and Effort : Credit ratings enable an investor to his
save time and effort in analyzing the financial strength of an issuer company.
This is because the investor can depend on the rating done by professional
rating agency, in order to take an investment decision. He need not waste his
time and effort to collect and analyse the financial information about
the credit standing of the issuer company.
13. BENEFITS OF CREDIT RATING
To the company

image of a company. High credit rating creates confidence and trust in the
minds of the investors about the company. Therefore, the company enjoys a
good corporate image in the market.
Lowers Cost of Borrowing : Companies that have high credit rating for their
debt instruments will get funds at lower costs from the market. High rating will
enable the company to offer low interest rates on fixed deposits, debentures
and other debt securities. The investors will accept low interest rates because
they prefer low risk instruments. A company with high rating for its
instruments can reduce the cost of public issue to raise funds, because it need
not spend heavily on advertising for attracting investors.
14. BENEFITS OF CREDIT RATING
Wider Audience for Borrowing : A company with high rating for its
instruments can get a wider audience for borrowing. It can approach financial
institutions, banks, investing companies. This is because the credit ratings are
easily understood not only by the financial institutions and banks, but also by
the general public.
Good for Non-Popular Companies : Credit rating is beneficial to the non-
popular companies, such as closely-held companies. If the credit rating is
good, the public will invest in these companies, even if they do not know
these companies.
Act as a Marketing Tool : Credit rating not only helps to develop a good
image of the company among the investors, but also among the
customers, dealers, suppliers, etc. High credit rating can act as a marketing
tool to develop confidence in the minds of customers, dealer, suppliers, etc.
Helps in Growth and Expansion : Credit rating enables a company to grow
and expand. This is because better credit rating will enable a company to get
finance easily for growth and expansion
15. DEMERITS OF CREDIT RATING
Possibility of Bias Exist : The information collected by the rating agency
may be subject to personal bias of the rating team. However, rating
agencies try their best to provide an unbiased opinion of the credit quality
of the company and/or instrument. If not, they will not be trusted.
Improper Disclosure May Happen : The company being rated may not
disclose certain material facts to the investigating team of the rating
agency. This can affect the quality of credit rating.
Impact of Changing Environment : Rating is done based on present and
past data of the company. So, it will be difficult to predict the future
financial position of the company. Many changes take place due to
changes in economic, political, social, technological, legal and other
environments. All this will affect the working of the company being rated.
Therefore, rating is not a guarantee for financial soundness of the
company.
16. DEMERITS OF CREDIT RATING
Problems for New Companies : There may be problems for new
companies to collect funds from the market. This is because, a new
company may not be in a position to prove its financial soundness.
Therefore, it may receive lower credit ratings. This will make it difficult to
collect funds from the market.
Downgrading by Rating Agency : The credit-rating agencies periodically
review the ratings given to a particular instrument. If the performance of a
company is not as expected, then the rating agency will downgrade the
instrument. This will affect the image of the company.
Difference in Rating : There are cases, where different ratings are
provided by various rating agencies for the same instrument. These
differences may be due to many reasons. This will create confusion in the
minds of the investor.
