Robert Redford has come a long way from his struggling days as a young painter sleeping rough on the French Riviera. He is now a 74-year-old Oscar winning actor and director, and founder of the Sundance television channel. Redford chose to launch Sundance internationally in France because it was where he had started his career as an artist and found comfort and community with other artists in Paris. He started the original Sundance Festival in the 1980s to support new filmmakers, which later led to the creation of the Sundance TV channel as a way to continue developing and promoting independent artists. Redford remains actively involved in mentoring young filmmakers through Sundance labs and festivals.

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

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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

Robert Redford has come a long, long way since the days he slept rough on the French Riviera, as a young man
struggling to make it as a painter.
The actor-director, who is 74, is also the founder of the Sundance television channel. He was in Cannes for the
MIPCOM audiovisual entertainment fair to promote the international ambitions of the network, which launched
outside the United States last year.
After a mis-spent youth, Redford spent a year in France when he was 18, and the first time he visited the
Mediterranean resort he slept under the pier opposite the luxurious Carlton Hotel.
Speaking to Toks Salako of Euronews from the more plush interior, the Oscar winning director revealed why the
country holds a special place in his heart.
Toks Salako, euronews:
“What made you choose France to launch the international version of the Sundance channel?”
Robert Redford:
“It had a personal part to it. I really began my career as an artist here, and because when I was a kid I began to draw
and I was made to feel that wasn’t important so I never felt serious about it. But it was always something that made
me comfortable. I went through a difficult childhood and created trouble and was in trouble and so-forth and I was
kicked out of school, and that was okay with me, because what I really wanted was to go another place. I wanted to go
to a place that I felt had some history and had a sense of community with some artists, and that was France, Paris.
euronews:
“You originally started the Sundance Festival back in the 1980s as a way of giving something back to the industry
which has been so good to you. What were your reasons for starting the TV channel?”
Robert Redford:
“The TV channel? The TV channel came out of two other steps that began with what I call the Sundance Labs. In 1980,
I was fortunate enough to have had some success in film and I was at a junction in my life where I could either just
continue making the films like the ones I’d been making or take a pause and think about maybe putting something
back that would be of value to the industry that had been so good to me. Because I think my nature has always been
to be more independent, I was going to try and create something that would carry that forward and maybe bring
some value to the industry. The concept is to create new opportunities for new artists, to have a place to develop and
grow, and the result of that will, hopefully, create new audiences for those artists. And if you do that you’re helping
create a new category, that can only help the business. I mean, let’s look at it in the general way.”
euronews:
“How do you think your experiences can inspire young filmakers today?”
Robert Redford:
“Well, I think probably my experience, I think through independence. I’ve been pretty independent my whole life and
that’s just the way it is…and I’ve wanted to remain independent, but not so independent that you’re outisde the
world. Because, finally, you’re in a business where whatever you do you have to entertain. That’s the fundamental job
you have to do, you have to entertain. But can you entertain in a different way? Can you entertain that is different
enough where people haven’t seen something before, you bring a new approach or a new inspiration? So I guess the
best thing I can offer would be an example of my own work and my own life, creating Sundance. Beyond that I don’t
know what else I could offer other than example. Look, independence is not going to be for everybody. It’s a very
difficult role to play in a world that’s controlled by corporations. Corportations have a very strong formula for money
in return on their investment and all that. So, sometimes experimentation or independence is seen in a negative way.
It’s seen as too risky, so therefore you’re going to have a struggle.”
euronews:
“Are you still actively involved in mentoring young filmakers now?”
Robert Redford:
“Oh yeah. The whole point of everything we start in this lab programme is about development. So development is still
in place and now more and more film makers have come through our labs. Quentin Tarantino, Darren Aronofsky, Wes
Anderson, PT Anderson, some of the actors who are here today, Elizabeth Moss, Jon Hamm. They’re all people who
came through our lab at one point or another, either as actors, new directors or new writers, so it gives me great
pleasure to see these people have gone on and benefited from our process to enter the mainstream. But they’re also
very independent.”
euronews:
“So do you see yourself now as an artist or a businessman?”
Robert Redford:
“Not a businessman. Not a businessman. It’s like the word brand. When someone says “Boy, you have a great brand,”
it made me nervous. It makes me uncomfortable; because for me the word “brand” was what you stamp on cattle,
