Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
By David F. Larcker, Stephen A. Miles, and Brian Tayan
Stanford Closer Look Series
Overview:
Shareholders pay considerable attention to the choice of executive selected as the new CEO whenever a change in leadership takes place. However, without an inside look at the leading candidates to assume the CEO role, it is difficult for shareholders to tell whether the board has made the correct choice. In this Closer Look, we examine CEO succession events among the largest 100 companies over a ten-year period to determine what happens to the executives who were not selected (i.e., the “succession losers”) and how they perform relative to those who were selected (the “succession winners”).
We ask:
• Are the executives selected for the CEO role really better than those passed over?
• What are the implications for understanding the labor market for executive talent?
• Are differences in performance due to operating conditions or quality of available talent?
• Are boards better at identifying CEO talent than other research generally suggests?
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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.
5. We done further research on the type of audience this film will attract.
6. I believe the best audience for my film would be teenagers and young adults, as it is a thriller film, and I feel the content would appeal to them most.
7. The target audience we’ve chosen would be the right audience for our product because they can relate to the characters and what goes on within the beginning of the film.
8. The enigma code is a great way of getting attention off the audience as is makes them feel more involved, teenagers in this case are the audience who are most likely to feel more involved and can relate to it more rather than elder people.
9.
10. To start off we would want UK Independent media institutions to consider distributing our media product, as this will allow at least a nation to recognise our product and hopefully move on and try get it distributed internationally.
11. We would consider first making a premiere to release our media product for the first time, however as its a low budget product we can only choose to show it somewhere not too expensive, e.g. Local community centre’, media universities or colleges to help distribute our media product or start to get it recognised. Media distributers such as: ’20thCENTURY FOX’ ‘FILM 4’ ‘ENTERTAINMENT FILM DISTRIBUTERS’ ‘INDEPENDENT’
12.
13. Conventions that we used in our film opening are: a victim, darkness and scream.
14. We had used the darkness in our film as this creates a tensed atmosphere and the audience watching will also feel tensed as they would be wondering why the characters are walking in the dark.
15. We had looked at the opening of hills have eyes which starts in the dark of a women running in the woods. This creates an enigma code. So we had set our film in an dark an isolated location.
16. We had used a victim as every thriller has a victim in it. The victim in our film is the lady as in real life females are the ones that are most likely to be victims of kidnappers as they are easy to attack.
17. We had looked at the film taken and saw that the victim in this film was a lady as she is an easy target.
18. We had used a scream at the end as this would make the audience want to watch more and they would be asking questions to themselves such as what has happened to the lady that got kidnapped. Is she dead? Does she get rescued? and so on.
19.
20. The victim is a lady as it is stereotypical that women are an easy target and the kidnapper is male as they are more stronger then women.
21. The kidnapper is in a hooded top which stereotypes young people and represents age. The representation of age in our film opening shows how crime is committed by young people and how the young people are capable of committing such crimes.
22. The young girl ‘Hani’ conveys innocence to the audience and they would feel sympathy for her, her family and ‘Kareem’.
23.
24. We had got characters to act of the similar age group of our audience as this would make them want to watch the film. If we had got older people to act then the audience would not be interested on watching the film as they would not have the connection with the older people.
25. We had also attracted our audience with the music that we had made. It is the type of music that would attract the teenagers which like hip hop and RnB music.
26. I think our audience would be drawn more to the film with the enigma code we’ve used, they would be asking themselves questions like: ‘ What is going to happen in the rest of the film?’ and ‘ Does Hani’s family and ‘Kareem’ find her?’ and ‘ whether ‘Kareem ‘gives up searching for ‘Hani’ or continues looking.

28. Through this usage of ‘Garageband’ we learnt several new techniques such as learning how to use ‘Garageband’ and combining beats to make a whole song, how to share and converge the sound we made on ‘Garageband’ into ITunes as an mp3 in order for us to add it to our film opening and make further adjustments on ‘Final Cut Pro’ which we used to edit our film opening and add effects such as adjust lighting of the film, mute parts of the film to add sound in and add cuts and combine different camera shots to make a whole shot.
29. The other application we learnt to use was ‘LiveType’, where we made our titles for the film opening. With this program I learnt how to change the transitions of the title, how it enters or leaves, how to make the font match the genre of the film opening and change the duration of the titles so that it can fit into the places we left for the titles to be placed in the sequence on ‘Final Cut Pro’.
30.
31. Other mistakes such as not planning properly also made us think carefully as to how to use our time wisely.
32. Another mistake we learnt from, was from our first film opening we planned and filmed once looking through it we realised not only was couldn’t you understand the storyline to it, but the footage wasn’t clear enough, which made it more hard for us to use as our film opening.
33. Whilst planning the third film opening and planning the storyline, we thought carefully and with some help of over looking our preliminary task and first film opening managed to make a clear storyboard which we could use for our film opening.
