A graduate of the film program at Montana State University, Carter Boehm has executive produced several films as the founder and president of Ponderosa Films. Carter Boehm’s most recent project is Murder at Emigrant Gulch.
A period piece set in the American West, Murder at Emigrant Gulch was shot in Montana in 2021. This crime thriller featured celebrated actors Gabriel Byrne and Richard Dreyfuss in the roles of Sheriff Ambrose and Edgar, respectively. Other on-screen talent include Lew Temple from the TV show The Walking Dead and Tanaya Beatty from the film Yellowstone. Experienced filmmaker Richard Gray directed Murder at Emigrant Gulch.
The film tells the story of a former slave who happens to move to the declining Montana boomtown of Emigrant Gulch on the very same day that one of its townspeople is murdered. The victim of this crime is a prospector who had recently struck gold.
Although the sheriff immediately suspects and arrests the newcomer to town, the case quickly becomes much more complicated. As the investigation continues, the differing opinions among local residents threaten to destroy the community as a whole.

Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters
Ch. 5: Profiles (cont.) & Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters, pp. 622–626
CARL WILKINSON
· In this profile, Carl Wilkinson provides a rich verbal portrait of rock musician Dave Grohl, who was the drummer in the “seminal grunge band Nirvana” and continues to lead the successful band the Foo Fighters. He also shows how contemporary popular music is changing in response to Internet file sharing. Notice how Wilkinson combines research with rich details about Grohl, his studio, and Grohl’s own words to help readers understand what makes Grohl “the perfect rock star.”
A group of record company executives, sitting down to sketch the perfect rock star, may well come up with someone a little like Dave Grohl. He has the look—long, thick black hair; he has the talent—he plays the drums, guitar and piano, he sings and he writes his own songs; and, above all, he has both pedigree and credibility.
In the early 1990s, as drummer with seminal grunge band Nirvana, Grohl helped change the face of popular music. Today, as lead singer with stadium-filling rock giants Foo Fighters, he is a multi-millionaire who has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide, won six Grammy awards and is president of his own record label. Alongside Foo Fighters he has a number of side projects (including supergroup Them Crooked Vultures, with Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones); a documentary about his band shot by Oscar-winning director James Moll was released last month and his seventh album, Wasting Light, is out on Monday. Now 42, Grohl—and his brand of rock ‘n’ roll—has grown up, had kids and settled down.
How did a man who was just a drummer and who never intended to make money from music end up as one of the biggest and wealthiest rock stars of the decade, succeeding in the face of a record industry in crisis?
We meet at Studio 606, the 8,000 sq ft recording space he built in 2005 in the Northridge area of Los Angeles. Outside, the Californian spring sunshine throws stark shadows across a neighbourhood that estate agents would describe euphemistically as “mixed”; from inside this large utilitarian building, with its tinted windows, the blue sky looks almost overcast.

Grohl, who is tall, lean and has grown into his slightly goofy looks, sets down the keys to his decidedly un-rock ‘n’ roll grey BMW estate, tucks his shoulder-length hair behind his ear and flips the lid on his laptop. “Sorry,” he beams. “I’ve just got to check my e-mail. I want to see if my daughter got into private school.” Grohl married Jordyn Blum in 2003, and they have two daughters, Violet Maye, aged four, and Harper Willow, one.

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.

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

2. Year 1999
• 1999
• Backed by producer Dr. Dre, Eminem zooms past racial
hurdles and sells 4 million copies of his debut, The Slim
Shady LP.
• Production duo The Neptunes (Chad Hugo & Pharrell
Williams) dominate the airwave with a string of radio hits,
including Kelis' "Caught Out There," ODB's "Got Your
Money," Noreaga's "Oh No," and Mase's "One Big
Fiesta." Their infectious, bling-tinged sound would later
become an unofficial requisite on hip-hop albums.
• Dr. Dre puts the west coast back on the spotlight with his
comeback LP 2001.
3. Year 2000
• 2000
• Dr. Dre files a lawsuit against MP3-swapping firm
Napster.
• Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney holds the first Hip-
Hop Powershop summit to address the various political,
economic, and social issues affecting the youth.
• DJ Craze wins the Technics DMC World DJ
Championship 3 consecutive times.
• Eminem, through the release of his well received second
album Marshall Mathers LP, solidifies his place as rap's
future great. The title sells 1.76 million copies in its first
week and later scores two Grammys for the rapper
4. Year 2001
• 2001
• Puff Daddy reveals in an MTV interview that he will now be known as P.
Diddy.
• Eminem pleads guilty to one of two felony charges from an incident in 2000
when he pistol-whipped a man caught kissing wife Kim Mathers.
• Prosecutors drop the felony assault charge in exchange for Eminem's guilty
plea on carrying a concealed weapon.
• On the heels of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York, two of the city's most
revered rappers Jay-Z and Nas are in a different New York state of mind.
After years of subliminal sniping, they finally take the gloves off and engage
in a highly controversial lyrical face-off.
• After Nas dropped "Ether," an earth-shattering response to Jay's equally
venemous "Takeover," Jay re-emerges with "Super Ugly," (rhymed over
Nas' "Got Yourself a Gun") in which Hov spilled his sexual relationship with
Nas' baby-mama to disgusting effect. New York's Hot 97 FM asks call-in
voters to decide a winner.
• As votes are being tallied, Jay rushes to Hot 97 and offers an apology for
the kiss-and-tell lyrics. His apology fails to deny Nas an outstanding victory.
Regardless, fans would forever debate the battle
5. Year 2002
• 2002
• DJ Jam Master Jay of Run-DMC is shot and killed in a
Queens studio on October 30. No one has been
convicted of his murder.
• Hip-hop feuds: Nelly vs. KRS-One, Eminem vs. The
Source magazine, Jermaine Dupri vs. Dr. Dre, etc

in a car crash while traveling with seven other people.
• Malik B is booted from The Roots following a drug use
problem.
6. Year 2003
• 2003
• Eminem becomes the new focus of a debate on hip-hop and racism after some
unidentified friends of the rapper submitted a tape of him using the N-word and making
several derogatory remarks about the African-American community.
• Sample lyrics from the Eminem tape: "Black girls are b****es/ That's why I'ma tell ya
you better pull up your britches/'Cause all that cash is making your a** drag. On
another song, he rhymes: "Black girls and white girls just don't mix/Because Black girls
are dumb and white girls are good chicks."
• The Source uses the tape to renew their anti-Eminem campaign, even releasing a CD
version of the "racist tape." In response, Eminem apologizes publicly and claims the
rap was done out of teen angst following a break-up with a black girlfriend.
• "I did and said a lot of stupid s**t when I was a kid, but that's part of growing up," said
Eminem in a statement. "The tape of me rapping 15 years ago as a teenager that was
recently put out by The Source in no way represents who I was then or who I am
today.“
• Federal investigators raid the New York offices of Murder Inc., the record label home of
Ja Rule and Ashanti, as part of an ongoing investigation into label head Irv Gotti.
Authorities were looking into allegations of money laundering and an alleged financial
link between Gotti and a New York drug gang called the "Supreme Team."
• ODB, fresh out of jail, signs to Roc-A-Fella Records and changes his name to Dirt
McGirt.
7. Year 2004

him in the face. A full-on brawl ensues during which Johnson gets
stabbed.
• After reviewing tape of the melee, authorities identify the stabber as
G-Unit rapper Young Buck, a member of Dr. Dre's entourage. Suge
Knight, who also crashed the event, later denies allegations that he
had promised Johnson $5000 to assault Dr. Dre.
• P.Diddy's "Citizen Change" campaign adopts the slogan 'Vote or
Die' in a bid to convince young people to vote in November's U.S.
Presidential elections.
• Wu-Tang member ODB dies inside a recording studio two days
before his 36th birthday.
8. Year 2005
• 2005
• The "Miss Jones Morning Show" crew on Hot 97 FM sparks outrage by
playing the "Tsunami Song," a racist parody of "We Are the World" that
ridicules victims of the South Asian tidal wave that killed almost 300,000
people. The "Miss Jones" is temporarily yanked off the air.
• Jay-Z and Nas end their long-running feud at the former's Power 105.1
concert in New York.
• A 24-year-old Compton, CA native identified as Kevin Reed is hospitalized
after a shooting outside the Hot 97 offices, as 50 Cent was making an
appearance at the radio station to announce that The Game had been
booted from G-Unit. The Game, who had appeared on Hot 97 earlier that
evening, reportedly returned to the station with an undisclosed number of
men and was denied entrance into the building.
• Jay-Z Dame Dash, and Kareem "Biggs" Burke sell off the remaining 50%
stake of Roc-A-Fella Records to Universal's Island Def Jam for less than
