Credit Risk and its Islamic Banking ImplicationsMace Abdullah
Financial intermediation is the backbone of a financial system. Banks are essential providers of financial intermediation; even more so in bank-based economies. Financial intermediation involves underwriting risks. Banks engage in a myriad of financial intermediation transactions on a daily basis, e.g. lending, leasing, financing and investing. A key form of risk faced by banks is credit risk. All banks must manage credit risk to remain viable. There are differences between conventional and Islamic banks as to how credit risk is managed because of the differences in their banking products. This analytic paper examines how banking credit risk assessment has evolved in the 21st century and how the two banking systems differ in their management of it. Malaysia’s banking system, as a recognized world leader in Islamic banking, is featured.

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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.

13. Summary
Gregor Samsa was a dealer of fabrics who had to deal with some stressing roles
linked to his profession like traveling frequently and keeping in touch with
businessmen he had never met before for instance, he felt most of the time
annoyed. However, he lived his worst experience in the life when one morning he
noticed that he had become a hideous insect while he was sleeping in his now
enormous bedroom, obviously designed for humans.
He realized there that his body was not anymore like before so, new problems
began to happen like his difficulty to control his current several limbs (to scratch
himself ) and setting a position in order to rest comfortably . As those things were
occurring, he also thought how mandatory was his duty due to a big debt his
parents had with his boss and conceiving how pleasant would be to scold his own
boss in a fictitious situation! But it finished abruptly when Gregor remarked that
because of his fantasies, his time to go working was being over. In addition his
family had seen too this irregular fact, that’s why Gregor was always punctual,
therefore they decided to approach till his door to find the reason of this unusual
moment.
When Gregor convinced his family of returning to their activities, he decided to
leave the bed to clear his mind but he got injured in that attempt, thus he
considered to halt it while he thought of the possibility of being assisted by
someone stronger than him. Suddenly he discovered that someone had arrived to
his house…”Perhaps the visitor might be my boss to know the reason of my
absence”, Gregor whispered as he threw himself roughly because of that.
14. It was true! His manager was there to find out what was up, but
previously his parents made an effort to defend the reputation of
their son which finally was not convincing because the manager
regarded that absence as a justification for avoiding his
responsibilities with the debt he must pay, besides he added that the
Gregor´s behavior in the company was not the most acceptable in
the last times.
Even though Gregor tried to explain his odyssey, it seemed just like
another excuse but he did not mind it because what he wanted
indeed was people look at him and his metamorphosis. Actually if
people did not recoil as it was expected and conversely they
accepted quietly that pitiful incident, Gregor might even catch his
train and keep on with his life normally; nevertheless the assistance
of a doctor and a locksmith arrived to solve his strange trouble as
Gregor was preparing his voice for the next conversations and
progressively getting adapted to his new shape to execute very
complex task like opening a door with a key regardless of his animal
condition!
Although opening the door got Gregor almost wounded due to the
exaggerated usage of his mouth and limbs, that first goal was
incredibly accomplished by him, just requiring encouragement by
the people out of his bedroom who remained drastically paralyzed
later…
15. They presented that state when they did not look at Gregor like a
man anymore but like a bug now, then they could appreciated
why it was not possible Gregor fulfils his routine however Gregor
insisted on clarify this problem to his manager which was in vain
because he preferred to go away.
Gregor knew that he had to keep on with his attempts for
convincing the manager about his continuity in the firm, that´s
why his family depended economically on Greg, consequently he
wanted his sister help him to speak to the manager because Greg
guessed the manager liked having affairs but she was not there,
thus he decided to walk until him and he observed that his body
was responding positively to his commands as it was not possible
before.
Finally all those intentions were no productive. It was too late to
reach the manager, moreover his father after the overcome
shock, reacted with violence against Gregor in his purpose of
locking him up inside his bedroom again to hide his grotesque
image giving as a result another new injury for our sad friend
Greg.
