Playing off its proximity to the New Jersey State House and numerous state agencies and policy organizations in the Trenton-Ewing area, The College of New Jersey announced Tuesday that it will begin offering a master’s degree in public policy, starting in the fall of 2023.
The 36-credit program, which will be housed within the Department of Political Science, will equip students to be effective policy analysts, researchers, advocates and managers in the public, nonprofit and private sectors by providing high-quality methodological training, individualized and group research opportunities and interdisciplinary public policy expertise.
The program is being offered on both a full- and part-time basis. TCNJ undergraduates will have the opportunity to enroll in an accelerated combined B.A./M.A. program, which will allow them to earn both their bachelor’s degree and the Master of Public Policy in five years.
School officials said the school’s location is ideal for providing connections for internship and employment opportunities in New Jersey and the broader mid-Atlantic region.
Dan Bowen, associate professor of political science at TCNJ who will serve as the program’s director, said the potential reach of the program will be huge.
“Public policies at local, state or regional, national and global levels touch every aspect of modern life,” he said. “They shape the economy, structure health, education and criminal justice systems, regulate and control our impact on the environment and land use and affect social equity. Because of their importance, there is substantial demand for well-trained policy experts who understand such complex systems.”

The BBC committed "significant editorial failings" in its reporting of an antisemitic attack on Jewish students, Ofcom has found.
The media watchdog observed that the BBC failed to follow its editorial guidelines on due impartiality and due accuracy in a 2021 online article.
A separate BBC London news broadcast on the same story did not breach due impartiality or accuracy rules.
However, Ofcom said the BBC had made a serious editorial misjudgement.
The incident occurred on 29 November 2021, when a group of Jewish students were subjected to an antisemitic attack while travelling on a privately-hired bus on Oxford Street, London, where they had been celebrating the festival of Hanukkah.
In its coverage, the BBC reported that an anti-Muslim slur had been heard from inside the bus, but following BBC coverage on 2 December, the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Chief Rabbi were among a significant number of groups and individuals who complained to the broadcaster about the accuracy and impartiality of its reporting.
The Board of Deputies of British Jews said: "Ofcom's ruling on the BBC's conduct in relation to the antisemitic Oxford Street attack has made it clear that 'the BBC failed to observe its editorial guidelines on due impartiality and due accuracy', and has described the corporation's 'serious editorial misjudgement' in this matter.
"This ruling, in response to the board's written complaint, validates our significant concern over the BBC's actions on this issue. We will now consider whether to take this issue to a judicial review."
Ofcom said in a statement: "Our investigation uncovered significant editorial failings in the BBC's reporting of an antisemitic attack on Jewish students travelling on board a bus in London.
"The BBC's reports claimed that an audio recording made during the incident included anti-Muslim slurs – which it later changed to the singular 'slur' – which came from inside the bus. Shortly afterwards, it received evidence which disputed this interpretation of the audio."
Ofcom noted that the BBC received evidence to support an alternative explanation that the words it had heard were in fact a Hebrew phrase, meaning "Call someone, it's urgent".
Its statement continued: "The BBC failed to promptly acknowledge that the audio was disputed and did not update its online news article to reflect this for almost eight weeks. During this time the BBC was aware that the article's content was causing significant distress and anxiety to the victims of the attack and the wider Jewish community.
"This, in our opinion, was a significant failure to observe its editorial guidelines to report news with due accuracy and due impartiality."
A BBC spokesperson said: "While Ofcom has found that our reporting was not in breach of the Broadcasting Code, the BBC's Executive Complaints Unit ruled in January this year that more could have been done sooner to acknowledge the differing views about what could be heard on the recording of the attack. The BBC apologised at the time for not acting sooner to highlight that the contents of the recording was contested."
Under the BBC's Charter and Agreement, set by the government, the BBC is responsible for the editorial standards of its online material.
Ofcom can consider and give an opinion instead, including any recommendations it considers appropriate regarding online material but it cannot find the BBC in breach of the broadcasting code.
Regarding the TV broadcast, Ofcom said that while the report did not breach its rules, "the BBC made a serious editorial misjudgement by not reporting on air, at any point, that the claim it had made about anti-Muslim slurs was disputed, once new evidence emerged".
The watchdog said the BBC's "failure to respond promptly and transparently created an impression of defensiveness by the BBC among the Jewish community".
Ofcom said the BBC has "further to go in learning how to respond when its reporting is in contention".
A spokesperson for the Campaign Against Antisemitism said: "Almost a year after the BBC's abominable coverage of an antisemitic incident on Oxford Street, Ofcom has seen what every viewer and reader of the BBC's coverage could but which the BBC itself refused to accept: its reportage added insult to the injury already inflicted on the victims and the Jewish community, and abysmally failed to meet the most basic editorial standards.
"Ofcom's decision today begins to undo that insult.
"Sadly, the BBC's stonewalling is exactly what British Jews have come to expect from our public broadcaster."

Set to the music of Isaac Hayes, “Shaft” helped usher in a new generation of Black talent long denied access to the film industry. (Michael Ochs Archives // Getty Images)
Now on Netflix, the invigorating documentary “Is That Black Enough for You?!?” borrows its title from a line in the 1970 caper “Cotton Comes to Harlem.” That movie was no highlight of the cultural revolution afoot. But for one especially rich decade, 1968-1978, Black representation finally got a foot in the door of a mighty white film industry. Stories of more than one kind of Black image and experience, independently made and then, because there was money in it, mainstream and studio-financed, found their way into theaters. This is critic-writer-director-host Elvis Mitchell’s love letter to that decade.
It tells a collective tale of long-frustrated and marginalized talent finally getting some breaks. Many of the key players were well-established (Sidney Poitier, Harry Belafonte), others younger and less polished. Many, too, were dazzling and unique, gone far too soon (Diana Sands at 39, Rupert Crosse at 45).
The Netflix project, produced by, among others, Steven Soderbergh and David Fincher, finds Mitchell speaking directly to films that helped shape his childhood, adulthood and vocations. He’s especially good on the subject of the deathless, peerless theme songs and soundtracks associated with everything from “Shaft” to “Superfly.”
Mitchell doesn’t even try to stick within his chosen 10 years. In “Is That Black Enough For You?!?,” Samuel L. Jackson, among others, speaks of growing up watching old movies featuring bit players and occasional sidekicks like Willie Best, doing their caricatured, subservient, humiliating thing in Bob Hope movies. Yet those actors got Jackson thinking about acting for a living. And perhaps dreaming of better opportunities.
Shrewdly edited and built for speed, the documentary glances on the legacy of the pioneering silent and sound filmmaker Oscar Micheaux; the mid-20th century breakthroughs for Poitier and Belafonte; and on seminal early ‘60s indies such as “Nothing But a Man.” By 1968, as Mitchell points out, white singer Petula Clark, on her TV special, touched the arm of Black guest Belafonte. The resulting outcry was not small. Meantime, the streets were on fire and the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy set the needle for America’s political future.
Hollywood responded with more of the usual, but also with a risk or two that opened the door a little wider. Low-budget, high-return hits such as “Cotton Comes to Harlem,” “Shaft,” “Superfly” (all hail the Curtis Mayfield score) and so many more meant the times were changing. All the same, says Mitchell in voiceover, the white-run industry meant that “Black success in media was often treated as the equivalent of finding a $100 bill on the subway— a non-repeatable phenomenon.”
“Is That Black Enough for You?!?” writer-director-narrator Elvis Mitchell. His documentary surveys the revolutionary movie years 1968-1978. (Hannah Kozak/Netflix / HANDOUT)
Later, Mitchell crystallizes a perspective I find both succinct and provocative, a new way to look at ‘70s filmmaking in all its downbeat, post-Watergate rumination. While white males (Gene Hackman chief among them) reveled in moody, bittersweet studies in stasis and despair, Mitchell argues that “Black films redeemed the ideal of heroic protagonists” in “Shaft,” “Coffy” and so many more. Then came “The Sting” and “Jaws,” among others, to reclaim happy endings for the white guys. Also, “Rocky.” Peculiarly, Mitchell doesn’t even bother to deal with “Star Wars,” which changed everything in the industry a year later. And not for the better. Well, that’s for another project, preferably an unauthorized one.
If nothing else, Mitchell’s fluid, conversational doc should get a few more eyeballs on historical markers eternally in need of new champions, such as the one-of-a-kind freak-out “Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One” (1968). Or Charles Burnett’s delicate 1977 classic, “Killer of Sheep,” filmed on the Los Angeles streets of Burnett’s Watts landscape. “A poet finding beauty in his own neighborhood” is how Mitchell phrases it, just so. His celebration of these films is seriously entertaining.
“Is That Black Enough for You?!?” — 3.5 stars (out of four)
MPAA rating: R (for nudity, some sexual content, language, violence and drug material)
Running time: 2:15
How to watch: Now streaming on Netflix.

Randburg’s DJ Chase is a music producer, Songwriter, music instructor and House DJ who continues to live and dedicates his life to music.
Matibisi “DJ Chase” Ntshwana grew up in Lebowakgomo, Limpopo and this is where his love for, and journey with music began.
DJ Chase said, “That’s where everything started for me, I’ve always loved singing other people’s songs, I would sing people’s melodies and if I don’t know the lyrics, I would put my own that is where I developed my style of songwriting. Eventually, I picked up an instrument to compose and the first instrument was the guitar, and I informally went to study classical piano for two years.”
DJ Chase went on to pursue his dream and enrolled at the National School of the Arts (NSA) and studied contemporary music and majored in Piano/ Keyboard.
He explained that he formed a band when he was still at school, but he realised the amount of time and energy it took to motivate and keep the band in the same mindset was too much and he decided to take on production.
“As a songwriter and instrument player, I was able to execute the whole song on my own from beginning to end. The last year at NSA I got an opportunity of working with Kabelo “Bouga Luv” Mabalane from TKZEE who gave me a chance to produce his project called Amatsheketshe,” added DJ Chase
DJ Chase continued his journey and worked with DJ Ganyani where he produced and wrote some of the big songs like Xigubhu one of the big songs to come out in 2014, Be There featured Big NUZ and Emazulwini.
The famous DJ now shares his experience and knowledge by teaching at Volume Music Academy. The school situated in Braamfontein opens on weekends and they have a studio in Ferndale, Randburg.
“We train learners to compose and produce by teaching them keyboard technique, music theory, the digital audio software that allows them to record and program music, Deejaying, and Sound engineering. I saw a gap where I could transfer the knowledge to upcoming artists,” said DJ Chase
DJ Chase added that they create a platform where students are able to network with industry experts and other musicians and they organise workshops and invite experienced musicians and other industry experts to share their knowledge with the students.
The sensational DJ is currently working on an EP in collaboration with (South African Music Performance Rights Association) SAMPRA and it will feature some of Volume Academy Students. It is expected to come out in 2023.
DJ Chase advises up-and-coming artists to put time into their craft and that the more they create the better they will get.

Touro’s Graduate School of Education welcomed its second cohort of Holmes Master’s candidates. The Holmes program, administered by the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE), guides students who self-identify as racially and ethnically diverse as they pursue graduate degrees in education. “Usually underprivileged and historically under-represented students have trouble navigating educational programs on the master’s and doctoral levels in the educational field,” stated Dr. William Cook, Associate Director of the Lander Center for Educational Research at Touro’s Graduate School of Education, and director of the Holmes Master’s program at Touro. “The Holmes Scholars programs will alleviate that by providing guidance and support to our Holmes Masters as they become leaders in the field of education.”
 
Candidates in the program join a national network of fellow Holmes Scholars and enjoy opportunities and support from peer networks, program administrators, and alumni mentors. The program also helps participants explore a variety of career options related to education.
The second class of two candidates was accepted into the Touro Holmes Master’s Program in February 2022. Participants were selected through a rigorous process and demonstrated high academic performance and a commitment to inclusivity, diversity, equity, advocacy, and leadership (IDEAL). Each candidate receives mentorship and networking opportunities and is expected to conduct an original research project and to present it at the annual AACTE conference.

(Miami Beach, FL) Nov 14, 2022 –
This year marks the 20^th anniversary of Art Basel Miami Beach, the centerpiece of the city’s widely acclaimed Art Week Miami Beach, which brings together thousands of collectors, galleries and artists from across the globe amid a celebrity-studded atmosphere and dozens of glamorous events.
 
Art Week Miami Beach 2022 runs from Monday, Nov. 28 to Sunday, Dec. 4 as the city once again welcomes the art world to its 7 miles of pristine beaches, chic hotels and upscale dining scene.
 
“Art Week Miami Beach is the Super Bowl of the art world,” shared Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber. “We are proud and excited to once again host this incredible gathering of top contemporary artists, galleries and collectors in America’s year-round arts and culture destination by the sea.”
 
This year’s Art Week Miami Beach will feature the largest installment yet of Art Basel Miami Beach (Dec. 1-3) with 282 exhibitors from 38 countries and territories. In addition to its Galleries, Positions, Nova, Survey and Edition sectors, the fair will host 20 large-scale projects as part of the Meridians sector, 29 curated installations within exhibitors’ booths in the Kabinett sector as well as nine panels with leading art world voices in its Conversations series at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
 
In honor of the 20^th anniversary of Art Basel, Miami Beach residents will be eligible to purchase half-price show tickets during a two-day promotion ahead of the event on Nov. 20-21 here. Purchasers will be asked to provide proof of residence at the time of purchase.
 
The City of Miami Beach will also curate its own special programming and exhibitions during Art Week Miami Beach, including temporary and permanent works being installed in Pride Park near the Miami Beach Convention Center, above tourist-favorite Española Way and in Henry Liebman Square along the 41 Street Corridor.
 
Elevate Española, a new dedicated art presentation site featuring aerial installations on Española Way, will debut on Monday, Nov. 28 at 1 p.m. with an installation entitled Trapeze Contortionists by Haitian-born, local artist Edouard Duval-Carrié to mark the kickoff of Art Week Miami Beach. The work features the silhouettes of 15 dancers cut from lightweight aluminum. Elevate Española is a new city initiative to enhance the corridor and encourage pedestrian connectivity to Ocean Drive.
 
Later, at 5 p.m. that same day, the city will welcome visitors to Starchild, a 50-foot figurative sculpture by artist duo FriendsWithYou at the corner of Pine Tree Drive and 41 Street along the 41 Street Corridor. Starchild is the main character in FriendsWithYou’s newest body of work, a longform conceptual project in which the artists are renaming the Earth to “Ocean” as a means to unify the planet by a name. This artwork was funded by the Miami Beach OnStage! program.
 
At 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 30, the city will dedicate the monumental public artwork Minna by Jaume Plensa in Pride Park, which was gifted to the city by philanthropist Norman Braman, who was also one of the visionaries who helped bring Art Basel to Miami Beach two decades ago.
 
Other highlights of Art Week Miami Beach include the third edition of the city-produced and curated No Vacancy, Miami Beach, which will match 12 artists with 12 iconic Miami Beach hotels. Funded in partnership with the Miami Beach Visitors and Convention Authority, this year offers an expanded art competition that features $35,000 in prize money, including a $10,000 public prize by the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau and a $25,000 juried prize to be decided by local art experts. Each artist will also receive a $10,000 stipend. The installations will be available for viewing between Nov. 17 and Dec. 8.
 
The popular Art Basel Legacy Purchase Program will return for its fourth year with previously acquired works by artists Sanford Biggers, Amoako Boafo, Ebony G. Patterson and Farah Al Qasimi on behalf of the residents of Miami Beach.
 
GETTING AROUND
With large numbers of visitors expected to attend Art Week Miami Beach 2022, the city encourages eventgoers to take advantage of the free citywide Miami Beach Trolley, public transit, ride-sharing options, water transportation from Downtown Miami to South Beach via the Poseidon Ferry and the recently completed Beachwalk that spans the entire 7-mile length of the city’s oceanfront for those that prefer to bike or walk.
 
Biking and micro-mobility enthusiasts will also find miles of green bike lanes and convenient bicycle parking throughout Miami Beach. View the city’s bicycle parking maps for more information. Additionally, Citi Bike offers more than a thousand bicycles, including electric-assisted bikes, at conveniently located bicycle sharing stations throughout the city.
 
Miami-Dade Transit offers Metrobus service to and from the mainland while the closest ride-sharing location to the Miami Beach Convention Center will be on the north side of 18 Street between Convention Center Drive and Meridian Court.
 
The citywide trolley service will place additional vehicles into service on all trolley routes from Wednesday, Nov. 30 through Sunday, Dec. 4 from 11 a.m. – 8 p.m. to reduce average passenger wait times to approximately every 10 minutes during the enhanced service times. Trolleys will continue to operate at regular service levels outside of enhanced service times from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. each day. Download the city’s free app to track specific trolleys in real-time.
 
PEAK TRAVEL TIMES
The heaviest periods of traffic congestion during Art Week Miami Beach are typically on weekday afternoons with congestion increasing closer to the weekend. Traffic congestion leaving Miami Beach can be exacerbated by incidents on major thoroughfares outside of the city, including I-395, I-195 and I-95. The Florida Department of Transportation’s ongoing road work and lane reductions near the Biscayne Boulevard off-ramp in Downtown Miami is expected to impede westbound traffic leaving Miami Beach along the MacArthur Causeway. A citywide construction moratorium will suspend all construction-related activities within the public right of way throughout the week — prohibiting road, sidewalk and lane closures. To reduce congestion along the Venetian Causeway connecting Downtown Miami and Miami Beach, the east Venetian Causeway bridge will be on lock-down and will not open to vessels from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. from November 29 to December 3, except emergency vessels and tug/tows.
 
The city plans to implement special event signal timing changes and other traffic mitigation measures along all major thoroughfares with an enhanced level of traffic monitoring for Art Week Miami Beach. This will include 14 hours of traffic monitoring each day and coordination with the Miami Beach Police Department to enforce traffic regulations at intersections while keeping motorists informed of delays through digital message signs. The city will proactively communicate with Waze, Google, and Inrix to accurately reflect all street closures on their respective mobile platforms in real-time.
 
In addition, the city will issue traffic text alerts as warranted to notify the public of major roadway incidents. Subscribe to receive traffic text message alerts by texting MBAlert to 888777. City staff will work closely with the FDOT SunGuide Traffic Management Center to program traffic messages on overhead digital message signs along I-95, SR 112/I-195 and SR 836/I-395 regarding any major incidents on Miami Beach causeways.

The concert will be available to stream exclusively to Apple Music subscribers in 167 countries at no extra cost.
“No matter how much time and effort an artist may spend crafting music in the studio, it’s on the stage where they really get to show their work,” the company notes. “Apple Music Live is a new recurring series designed to do just that: give the biggest stars in music the biggest possible platform to flaunt how they connect with audiences and how their songs translate to live performance.”

— Apple Music (@AppleMusic) May 17, 2022

The concert will be available to livestream on Apple Music this Friday at 9 p.m. EDT/6 p.m. PDT. There will also be encores on May 22 at 12 p.m. EDT/9 a.m. PDT and May 26 at 4 p.m. BST, which indicates that the performance won’t be available to watch on demand. When reached for clarification, Apple told TechCrunch that it currently doesn’t have anything to share about on-demand availability for Apple Music Live.
The concert is taking place at UBS Arena in Long Island, New York. The performance will celebrate Styles’ new album “Harry’s House,” which will be available on the same day. Styles will also be performing his new album for the first time ever during the concert.
It’s unknown how often Apple plans to feature artists in the new concert series. The company also hasn’t revealed which other artists will be showcased in the future.
Apple’s new live concert series could be a way for it to garner more subscribers to its music streaming service by featuring popular artists. Securing a big name like Harry Styles will also certainly give Apple some buzz around the new concert series. As for the artists that are featured in the series, it could be a way for them to further promote new albums and give fans an idea of what their performances are like.
Apple joins several other digital giants that have hosted live concert performances. For example, YouTube has been livestreaming Coachella performances for years and Hulu will stream Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo music festivals this year and in 2023. It’s worth noting that Apple itself has had experience with live music events, including the discontinued iTunes Festival and Apple Music Festival.

I’ve learned the majority of what I know about recording, producing, and mixing from YouTube. And somehow this information is all free (the internet can be amazing sometimes). So over the years, I’ve become familiar with a bunch of really good music production YouTube channels. These are the best ones I’ve come across and the best ones for music producers.

Gregory Scott, the man behind The House of Kush, is an artist, audio engineer, and gear designer who shares his mixing knowledge in a no-BS type of way. He focuses more on the philosophy of mixing methods rather than saying something like “always cut this number of dBs at this frequency.”
He talks about exercises to try on your mixes so you understand how your different tools work. And from there, you can make knowledge-based adjustments until things sound the way you want.

Andrew Huang is an artist with over 1 million streams on some of his songs, and he’s a very good teacher who passes along information in a way that can help any kind of producer.
He mostly talks about production tips (and he clearly loves a good synthesizer), but he also covers songwriting tips, home recording setup, and music theory. He’s gotten a lot of attention for making music out of non-music objects.

Warren Huart is an audio engineer who’s worked with Aerosmith, Korn, The Fray, Hot Hot Heat, and many other well-known artists. So you can be confident his advice is reliable.
Huart posts videos that are good for beginners, but he also posts videos that go more in-depth for intermediate to even experienced producers (like the above video). It’s difficult to be really good at something and also be a good teacher who conveys complex ideas in a simple way. But Huart does that well.

LANDR is a company that offers many services, like automated mastering, distribution, plugins, samples, and other tools.
The videos are hosted by all types of music producers, songwriters, and audio engineers. So you can get a bunch of different perspectives and philosophies from different kinds of artists.

Charles Cleyn is an artist who shares what he’s learned and experienced as an indie music producer.
He’s very transparent, like in this video about his streaming income, and he’s dedicated to giving clear instructions for beginners, like in the Logic Pro tutorial above. It’s refreshing to learn from someone who is doing the work of songwriting, producing, mixing, mastering, and releasing music on their own.

Although it seems Wikiemedia is no longer posting videos, they had previously built up quite the helpful catalog of content on their YouTube channel.
The person behind this channel is someone named Wick Van den Belt. What are his credentials? Does he have any notable accomplishments as a music producer?
I couldn’t find any. However, the tips he gives on his YouTube channel are very helpful, especially for beginners. For example, the video above is a super helpful look at the philosophy of getting a balanced mix.

Graham Cochrane started out recording and mixing his friends’ music, and that was his main entrepreneurial endeavor. But then he realized he could help more people by making videos showing others how to record music on their own from home.
He has some credits on AllMusic, but he’s no longer an active audio engineer. However, the videos he published over the several years he was active are super helpful. They’re geared toward beginner home producers, so he clearly walks you through every step of whatever process he’s teaching.

Devvon Terrell is an indie artist who currently has over 300k monthly listeners on Spotify, and his top played song currently has over 26 million streams, just to give you an idea of his success. And when you listen to his music, you hear right away it’s at the same level of quality as others in his genre.
He’s also a very good teacher for beginners. And he gets very specific with his YouTube video topics, like “How To Get Crystal Clear High End Vocals” and “How To Record In Pro Tools For Beginners.”

Proteus by GuitarML is a very cool utility that lets you capture any drive/gain/EQ knob of a guitar amp or pedal as a plugin for your DAW. On the surface, it looks similar to the developer’s older SmartPedal plugin, but it uses new neural-network-based capture technology. There’s a separate capture utility that allows you to record your amp or pedal at different settings, and then turn that into a plugin with two simple knobs for Drive and Level. A library of pre-recorded tones is also available.
Proteus is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux in VST3, AU, and AAX formats.

Los Angeles
Just north of the Metro L Line, Irvine-based developer MBK Rental Living has started leasing for a new multifamily residential complex dubbed Esperanza at Duarte Station.
Rendered view of Esperanza at DuarteAO
Located on a 4.3-acre property at the intersection of Highland Avenue and Business Center Drive, the completed development will eventually include 344 studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments surrounding a seven-story central parking structure.
According to a leasing website, rents at Esperanza will range from as low as $1,980 per month for a studio to as much as $4,041 per month for a three-bedroom unit.
Designed by AO, Esperanza consists of a series of five-story wood-frame buildings, as well as a linear park feeding into pedestrian routes toward the adjacent Metro station. Likewise, plans call for a slew of on-site amenities including rooftop decks, a large swimming pool and spa deck, co-working space, and a private dog park.
Rendered view of Esperanza at DuarteAO
The development site sits across the L Line tracks from the 110-acre City of Hope campus, which is poised to undergo an expansion that will increase its patient capacity by 1,000 and its employment base by 1,500 through the 2030s.
“We have elevated the amenities with this community to mirror the lifestyles of its residents by designing high-end facilities including pocket parks in the courtyards, a landscaped rooftop, and open floor plan designs that will attract a diverse array of residents, from professionals and families to empty nesters and students along with a special emphasis on frontline workers at the City of Hope,” said MBK president Ken McCarren in a statement. “At the same time, there are even more reasons to rent given the current macro-economic environment of rising interest rates.”
The first move-ins are scheduled to begin in Fall 2022, with the full project set to open in early 2023.

MBK, a subsidiary of the Japanese conglomerate Mitsui & Co., acquired the project site in early 2021 through a joint venture with Haseko Corporation.

Fluid Audio LLC has announced a partnership with Sonarworks to deliver a complete pro studio monitoring solution, built around its brand new Image 2 studio monitor and SoundID Reference. They say that the room calibration software will be integrated directly into Image 2 studio monitors, giving users the ability to create their own calibration profile for their monitor setups to remove unwanted coloration and experience the most accurate studio reference sound for any studio or home environment. Here’s the details in their own words…
Fluid Audio Image 2
The Image 2 is dedicated to near-field and midfield use. Using the latest in DSP development and Class- D amplification Fluid Audio has pushed the limits of a studio monitor to achieve stunning results. The Image 2 delivers incredible imaging, frequency response, output, low distortion, and depth of field. With its unique look, compact size and performance that is hard to believe. The Image 2 is a 2-in-1 monitor, a full range mixing and mastering system that also offers a mixcube mode. Mixcube mode helps dial in low end and mids for a wide range of “bass challenged” devices. It also helps adjust the overall balance, depth, vocals, and nail the kick drum.
Sonarworks SoundID Reference
SoundID Reference delivers consistently accurate studio reference sound across all speakers and headphones, so you can mix with confidence and make music that sounds great everywhere. The software is now used in more than 100,000 studios globally, including many Grammy-Award-winning engineers recording A-list stars (like Lady Gaga, Madonna, Rihanna, Adele, Coldplay, and more).
In order to help as many people as possible experience this new technology, Fluid Audio and Sonarworks are happy to include an extended 60-day SoundID Reference trial for Image 2 customers. (Please note that a measurement microphone is required to perform the measurements necessary to create the calibration profile in SoundID Reference.)
Fluid Audio Image 2 In Depth
The Image 2 is a dedicated nearfield/midfield workhorse. Using the latest DSP and Class-D amplification, Fluid Audio has pushed the limits to create stunning results. The Image 2 delivers accurate imaging, extremely flat frequency response, and incredible bass extension with very low distortion.
The Image 2 is also a 2 in 1 monitor: A full range mixing and mastering system that can switch into a console “mixcube” at the press of a footswitch. Mixcube mode enables engineers to dial-in low end and midrange levels for even playback on many “bass challenged” devices. It further helps with the adjustment of vocals, nailing the kickdrums and overall balance.
It’s future-ready USB port expands the Image 2’s incredible functionality and provides the ability to upload and run exported room correction files natively at the monitor level.
The newly developed AMT tweeter delivers precise, detailed response, expansive headroom, and low distortion, while the aluminum cone mid-range driver utilizes a shorting ring within its motor structure to substantially reduce harmonic distortion. Focusing the magnetic flux and concentrating it within the voice coil gap reduces modulation movement of the voice coil which makes the variation of system inductances more linear as input current varies. The end result is accuracy so clean, mixing takes on a whole new flow.
The opposed, Dual 8″ ultra-long-throw bass woofers are interlocked at their magnets from within, and add improved cabinet stability and provide extended bass response (+/- 4.6dB 28Hz-20kHz ; +/- 2.0dB 80Hz- 20kHz). Each bass driver is individually powered by the latest state of the art 225W Class-D amplifier.
Driving the entire system is the newly developed Class-D Quad amplifier. Spending the most development time on this important element, the Image 2 amp has extremely low self-noise, very low distortion, improved THD+N performance, improved IMD performance, and lower output impedance. The Image 2’s sealed enclosure design provides a natural, 6db/oct roll off for a more controlled low frequency response. This translates into less likelihood of unwanted interaction with the room, which means these monitors are less sensitive to positioning.
Mixing or mastering on the Image 2 will deliver professional results that are more accurate, and more effortlessly achieved than ever before.

Date:
Boise developer Hawkins Companies is looking at an apartment complex on the corner of Federal Way and Kootenai St. on the Boise Bench, but city planners had many questions about the initial concept.
Representatives for Hawkins held a pre-application meeting with the City of Boise for an initial proposal to build a five-story apartment building with underground parking and a small retail space at 1109 S. Federal Way.  The project, as presented to city planners, would include a set of 120 apartments arranged in a U-shape, facing out toward Federal Way, Kootenai, and Pico St., with an internal courtyard.
Initial plans submitted to the city would feature a series of studio, one, two, and three-bedroom apartments ranging from 486 square feet to 1,537 square feet.
The site once held a community theater building, and in more recent years, an outdoor metal works business. The plan also includes the site of the former Vernon J. Broiler insurance agency building, which faces Federal Way. The current configuration of the parcels was created when Kootenai St. was realigned to meet Protest Hill in the 1990s.

City questions

In notes filed by the city with the pre-application, planners noted a raft of issues with the early concept.
“The proposal to rezone this site to R-O does not support the purpose of the R-O zone,” planners wrote. “The applicant is simply looking for additional density and building height and is not providing the intended office/services at the ground floor level to activate the adjoining street.”
The planning notes said R-O zoning would be a “spot zone,” as there is no other similar zoning designations in the area.
The comprehensive plan for the city calls for the site to feature an office use, planners noted.  The notes also raised concerns about buffers for the project and other uses in the area, the way cars would access the site, trash collection, bicycle parking, and more.
Pre-applications may not move forward, but the next step for this project would be a neighborhood meeting. If developers decided to move ahead with the plan, they would need to win approvals from the City of Boise.

The City of Boise has 23 different types of land zoning. Each dictates what can be built on a parcel – as well as attributes like parking, density and building height.

For example, there are six subtypes of residential zoning, from R-1A (single family residential on a large lot) to R-3 (multi-family residential). The city also has a variety of “other” types, including U for the area around Boise State University and HS for hospitals.

In addition, there are specific plans like those for the Barber Valley, neighborhood plans and conservation districts.

If a landowner wants to build a project not allowed by the current zoning, they must go through an approval process with the City of Boise – which includes public hearings.

Tesla’s Smart Summon is nearing a significant upgrade. According to Elon Musk, Actually Smart Summon, yes, with the acronym ASS, is nearing completion. The CEO was asked if Full Self Driving (FSD) Version 11 would include the feature; Musk tweeted: Going without saying that we all want ASS (Actually Smart Summon) ASAP!!
He’s right. ASS would change how many Tesla owners interact with their vehicles daily and move the brand further ahead of the competition. ASS would be an enhanced version of the Smart Summon that is currently available. By pressing the Summon button on the Tesla app, the vehicle will use the smartphone’s GPS coordinates to find its driver. This feature has the potential to be a game changer for people who have to walk through cold, deserted parking lots late at night. It will help increase convenience as well as safety, however, it has a long way to go from its current implementation.
It’s unclear if the improved version of Smart Summon will just be an enhancement to what’s available or if it will include Park Seek. It’s been referred to as Reverse Summon for years, but now named Park Seek enables a Tesla to drop off its occupants, including the driver, and then go park all by itself. While the driver doesn’t need to be in the vehicle while it finds a parking spot, they can pick preferred spaces. There will be three modes in Park Seek: closest to the entrance, near a cart return, and at the end of the parking lot.
Tesla’s Autopilot team spoke in detail during A.I. Day 2022 about advancements in Full Self Driving, including navigating parking lots. A lot of the improvements came through developing a single stack, or one code base, to operate the car on highways, city streets and parking lots.
Tesla’s director of the Autopilot program, Ashok Elluswamy, said, “FSD beta software is quite capable of driving the car. It should be able to navigate from parking lot to parking lot, city street driving, stopping for traffic lights and stops signs, negotiating with objects at intersections, making turns and so on.”
Paril Jain, the Manager of Autopilot Motion Planning, added timelines to the program “we do expect to also include the parking lot stack as a part of the FSD stack before the end of this year. So, that will basically bring us to you sitting in the car in the parking lot and drive till the end of the parking lot, at a parking spot, before the end of this year.”
FSD Version 11, with a single stack, started to roll out on November 11 at 11:11. Musk said it would take a few weeks before it goes to Beta and then a few more weeks before it goes for a wide release to the United States and Canada. If and when that happens, there will be more than 1 million FSD users. Those users will also be able to have their Tesla pick them up and drop them off.
Verified Tesla stock owners are now part of a random draw to attend an event that will change the world. On December 1, Elon Musk will deliver the first Tesla Semis to Pepsi Co. This event will mark the day the trucking industry got shaken up, and the day the transportation business got electrified. Tesla shareholders can be there.
Martin Viecha, Tesla’s Head of Investor Relations, tweeted: If you want to attend the Semi delivery event as a retail shareholder, please make sure you have a verified shareholder status on our IR website (unverified manual submissions are eligible if the paperwork is correct). We’ll be doing a random draw where 1 share = 1 entry. He also shared the tweet from Tesla announcing the Shareholder Platform, which enables retail traders to verify their Tesla stock in minutes.
The event itself is one thing; it also signifies the return of the Tesla experience. Musk and his team have held parties for years to show off some of their new ideas to enthusiasts and fans. Many people responded to Viecha’s tweet, hoping to be invited and looking forward to Tesla’s latest launch event. Of course, the company would not be holding an event if Musk handed the Tesla keycards to some Pepsi delivery truck drivers. The event could serve as a relaunch. It’s been five years since the CEO rolled onto the stage in this massive vehicle he referred to as a beast. Therefore we may require a refresher, and it would be an opportunity for Musk to reiterate all the details of the Semi and how they match or exceed what he promised in 2017.
Here’s a quick recap of what Musk has said the Semi would be able to do. Firstly, it will reach 60 miles per hour in five seconds, 20 seconds at the fully loaded maximum 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight. It has a 500-mile range at maximum load weight and highway speeds. Megachargers (already installed at Pepsi in California) take an empty Semi to 70% in 30 minutes; that will be enough for 350 miles and last about six hours of driving.
Musk guaranteed the Semi would not break down for a million miles. He made the promise because of the vehicle’s independent drivetrains, should one shut down, the others would take over. It also has thermal nuclear glass, a big deal because windshields are regularly replaced on trucks for safety concerns. That downtime won’t impact Tesla’s Semi.
These are just a few highlights. More about the Semi can be found in our story, Everything We Know About the Semi. Or you could be one of the lucky shareholders invited to the event on December 1 and find out for yourself.
Elon Musk has said it before but will repeat it whenever asked. While virtually attending the B20 conference in Indonesia, Musk was asked about creating a smaller, more affordable car. The moderator suggested it be called the Model I for India or Indonesia. It’s a reoccurring question, but with competition also targeting a cheaper price point, Tesla must find a way to get there.
Musk responded to the question familiarly, “I can’t speak too much to the future of Tesla product development, except to say that we do think that making a much more affordable vehicle would make a lot of sense and we should do something.”
It’s something Tesla will have to do. Volvo’s CEO Jim Rowan told Automotive New Europe that EVs should be at price parity with gas cars in a couple of years.
The manufacturer has also teased a small EV that it sees as entry-level for consumers. It’s set a goal of producing 600,000 battery-powered vehicles by 2025. So far this year, it has made 40,500. Therefore, the new small vehicle the company is talking about would have to be a price point that would move many cars. Rowan said, “city car aimed at a younger demographic who can subscribe to it and make it their first Volvo.”
Tesla has already brought down the price of producing electric vehicles, but Volvo says it can do better. Volvo said during its Capital Markets Day presentations that it plans to have battery pack costs down to less than $100 per kilowatt hour by 2025-26. A recent tear-down of the Tesla Model 3 pack, overseen by analysts from UBS bank, showed a cost of $131 per kWh.
During the third quarter earnings call, Musk said that Tesla’s new vehicle development team was already working on the next platform and would incorporate everything the company has learned from Models S, 3, X, Y, Semi and Cybertruck.
He also said that the target was to create a 2-for-1, as in producing two cars using the same effort it currently takes to build one. “It will be smaller, to be clear. But it will, I think, certainly become, certainly exceed the production of all our other vehicles combined.”
There have been rumblings of a Model 2, a vehicle that would cost around $25,000, for a few years around Tesla.
With the company having a hard time keeping up with orders for the Model 3 and Model Y, that didn’t seem necessary. However, Musk could also be alluding to the company’s upcoming Robotaxi, or possibly a platform will be shared by both vehicles.
The company must address the need for a cheaper vehicle with the competition catching up and targeting areas where Tesla doesn’t currently offer products.
