The Federal Reserve Board on Friday invited public comment on a proposal to publish a periodic list of depository institutions that have access to Federal Reserve accounts—often referred to as “master accounts”—and payment services. The proposal would result in a transparent and accessible source of this information for the public. In August, the Board adopted final guidelines that establish a transparent, risk-based, and consistent set of factors for Reserve Banks to use in reviewing requests to access these accounts and payment services. “Today’s proposal will enhance transparency to the public by periodically publishing a comprehensive list of financial institutions that have access to Federal Reserve accounts and payment services,” said Vice Chair Lael Brainard. “I look forward to getting feedback on this proposal for enhanced transparency.” The proposal issued today would build on the transparency of the guidelines by requiring Reserve Banks to periodically disclose which depository institutions have access to their accounts and payment services. Comments will be accepted for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. For media inquiries, please email [email protected] or call 202-452-2955.

The One-Punch Man anime’s official Twitter has warned fans not to be misled by a recent leak claiming MAPPA will animate Season 3. The One-Punch Man anime’s official Twitter account has put a damper on rumors circulating about who will animate their upcoming third season. The message from @opm_anime urged fans not to be “misled by unofficial information from other accounts,” stating that “accurate information will be announced from this account when it is time.” While the tweet does not outright deny the report that MAPPA will animate Season 3, it does cast doubt on what appeared to be a major development for the highly anticipated return of the series. RELATED: One-Punch Man: What Makes Saitama's Unique Character Design Work So Well Season 2 of the One-Punch Man anime concluded back in 2019, and in the three years since, there has been little information about when the series will resume. The manga from writer ONE and illustrator Yusuke Murata is still going strong, in its 27th volume at the time of writing, while the franchise has also branched out with the mobile game ONE-PUNCH MAN: The Strongest, which fans of the series for its cringe-worthy ad campaign. ONE has also kept busy with a new manga titled Versus, created in collaboration with Azuma Kyoutarou of Tenkaichi and King of Fighters fame. The series kicked off on Nov. 26 with its first chapter, released in Monthly Shōnen Sirius. While One-Punch remains on indefinite hiatus, MAPPA has been busy taking the anime industry by storm. Their packed production schedule has included major hits like Attack on Titan: The Final Season, Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man, and the studio shows no signs of slowing down with series like Vinland Saga Season 2 and Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku slated for 2023. While One-Punch Man’s recent tweet has refuted their inclusion in that lineup, the series does have a history of moving studios. J.C. Staff took charge for the second, and neither was confirmed to helm the third, leaving room for speculation to circle around whether a studio like MAPPA may take the reins. RELATED: How Studio MAPPA Is Fooling Anime Fans With Sneaky Animation As fans wait for official information on the release of One-Punch Man’s third season, the first two seasons are available to stream on Crunchyroll. The manga is available from VIZ Media, while there is also a wealth of fan-made content to enjoy, including stunning animation from artist Detox112 and a comic by Hong Kong-based artist and author Cminglap titled One-Punch Man: The Fight of Gods.

A Hampton County, South Carolina emergency medical services (EMS) worker who was charged with domestic violence earlier this year has now been accused of hurling racist epithets at a co-worker. Earlier this week, my news outlet was provided with a recording of a dispute between two EMS workers – a… A Hampton County, South Carolina emergency medical services (EMS) worker who was charged with domestic violence earlier this year has now been accused of hurling racist epithets at a co-worker. Earlier this week, my news outlet was provided with a recording of a dispute between two EMS workers – a male and a female – which purportedly took place several months ago. As the dispute escalated, the male accused the female – who was attempting to leave the scene of the incident in her vehicle – of trying to “frame” him regarding some text messages. At this point, the male voice exploded into a torrent of hateful, racist expletives – including the repetitive use of an especially egregious slur against blacks. “F*ck your n*gger-loving ass,” the male voice captured on the audio file. “You’re just a n*gger-lover. N*gger-loving whore, bitch. F*ck you!” Here is the segment of the recording containing the slurs. Be warned, though. As you can tell from the above-referenced quote the recording is exceedingly graphic … (Click to listen) (Via: Provided) According to multiple sources familiar with the situation, the voice on the recording belongs to 41-year-old Charles Michael Long, Jr. of Hampton, S.C. – who was arrested two months ago by agents of the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) on a second degree domestic violence charge. According to a probable cause affidavit accompanying the warrant for his arrest, on June 2, 2022 Long kicked his victim in the hip following a “heated altercation.” He then attempted to prevent her from accessing her phone, according to the affidavit. “The offense was committed in its entirety in front of a 12-year-old juvenile,” the affidavit (.pdf) added. Long’s arrest was announced by SLED on August 23, 2022. At the time, he was listed as a “former” Hampton County EMS worker – meaning he had been terminated prior to the arrest becoming public – however he was reportedly rehired by the agency less than a month later. According to my sources, the recording which contains the racist epithets was made last December. This news outlet is investigating the circumstances surrounding both the recording and Long’s rehiring by Hampton EMS following his domestic violence charge – which is still pending. Hampton EMS is led by its director, Chris Altman, who reports to the county administrator, Rose Dobson-Elliott. According to reporter Michael DeWitt of The Hampton County Guardian, Hampton’s EMS is “nationally-certified” and has received the state’s highest level of accreditation. Its responders are “capable of handling any life threatening situation, including cardiac arrests.” The agency is also said to be active in the community – providing EMS training to school officials among other services. Hampton County receives an estimated 3,000 calls for emergency medical assistance each year and its EMS agency was recently praised by county councilman Roy Hollingsworth for providing “first rate emergency services to the citizens of Hampton County.” Located in the southern tip of South Carolina, Hampton County has become a household name nationally given its role as the backdrop for the ‘Murdaugh Murders’ crime and corruption saga, a sprawling maze of alleged criminality tied to one of its most powerful, prominent families. ***** (Via: FITSNews) Will Folks is the founding editor of the news outlet you are currently reading.

Rogue Amoeba Software’s Audio Hijack 4 has arrived with significant interface improvements, new features, and enhancements. The audio-recording workflow app should be easier for existing users, smoothing and removing quirks that irked us in version 3, and faster to master for novices. Changes and additions enable better audio mastering and mixing while recording, letting you capture a live session as something close to the final version for broadcast or distribution—or maybe even good enough to upload immediately. Audio Hijack provides a clearly expressed workflow for capturing, modifying, and outputting audio. You set up a “session” to grab audio from any source on a Mac, whether an app, mic, digitizer, or virtual audio device, and route it through “blocks,” workflow units that act upon or visualize the audio. Sessions typically end with a recording block to write processed audio to a disk file or an audio output block that sends the sound to headphones or other listening devices. You can also pipe output to supported live streaming services. You can split blocks to send audio on multiple paths: you could record an audio stream and output both a highly compressed mono MP3 and an uncompressed AIFF file simultaneously. You can also merge paths from blocks to combine multiple audio sources into a single processing flow or recording. For audio intended to be edited later, one path might produce a merged, compact MP3 file for immediate posting, while the other records separate tracks for each speaker in a conversation as uncompressed AIFF audio files. Audio Hijack is widely used by Mac-oriented podcasters and audio studios to capture separate mics for in-person recordings and audio channels for recordings via voice-over-IP and videoconferencing apps like FaceTime, Skype, and Zoom. Audio Hijack 4’s new features should make it even more popular. Version 4 groups major changes into three piles: interface, new blocks, and enhancements to existing blocks. Taken together, they reduce friction and make it more of a pleasure to use the app. The previous version of Audio Hijack introduced an innovative way to connect blocks. Drag them near each other and a connection appeared to snap blocks together. Nifty—but problematic. Dragging had to be precise, and small movements could cause connection lines to be sucked from one block to another. Complicated workflows could end up with connectors ping-ponging all over the place or result in an enormous virtual space that made it impossible to see the entire workflow at once. Rogue Amoeba made automatic connections an option in Audio Hijack 4. Some users may prefer them to create workflows quickly, letting the app snap linkages based on proximity as blocks are dragged. But for complicated paths, it’s now a cinch to deselect Session > Automatic Connections to disable automatic connection mode and then drag blocks into arrangements that you can parse more easily. You then connect blocks by dragging between the plus (+) signs that appear on the left and right sides of blocks. The company also updated Audio Hijack 4’s connector style. Connections now have blue arrows that point in the direction of the flow of audio and may curve for better visualization instead of appearing as straight line segments; they’re animated and highlighted in orange while a recording session is active and a given source or connection between blocks has active audio. The new Light Mode interface option also makes it easier for many people to view blocks. Audio Hijack 4 sports other interface improvements. The previous release used a space-occupying layout to show sessions. It’s now a much simpler, more compact list. Instead of offering a passive summary, the Session List allows monitoring and control of all sessions. Audio Hijack 4 also put most of the Session List controls into an optional system menu. In Audio Hijack 3, it was often a chore to find recordings after you’d finished running a session, like recording a call. Each session in Audio Hijack 4 now provides a tabbed sidebar that organizes recordings, including a sound visualization preview of what was recorded, along with any scheduled times the session runs automatically, scripts (also new), and general info. For those who record people speaking or performing, three new blocks simplify and improve setting up complicated sessions and producing audio directly from a session for live broadcast or quick posting of a file. Rogue Amoeba has also enhanced existing blocks, mostly to make more information available on the “face” of the block—its appearance as a unit in the interface—or provide better access to its features because at-a-glance visualization is a key part of Audio Hijack’s approach. For instance, Volume Blocks that change the volume as audio passes through them now have levels on their faces, Channels show the action in inputs (like swapping left and right), and the 10-Band EQ (equalizer) reveals the positions of the sliders for each of the 10 bands that can be adjusted. An Input Switch block that allows swapping between two sources can be set as a floating palette visible across all apps. All blocks can now save and load presets, allowing reuse of settings across the app. Separate from those improvements, Rogue Amoeba has finalized Audio Hijack’s previously beta Live Stream feature for sending output directly to streaming services that use the RTMP protocol—like Facebook Live, Twitch, and YouTube Live. Live Stream also now lets you set a preview video frame that can include text and images, including audio visualizations, sent with the stream. Those who use Audio Hijack heavily can set version 4 to run sessions automatically when the app launches so it’s recording or processing in the background all the time. Such people will also appreciate being able to close a session window while it continues to run, rather than having to keep it visible. And anyone who has a broader audio workflow will want to check out the new Shortcuts support in Monterey and scripting support via JavaScript. Rogue Amoeba provides a bunch of built-in scripts that are both useful in their own right and helpful for learning how to write your own scripts from scratch. Speaking as a long-time Audio Hijack user, these improvements have proven to be a real-world boon to many of my routine activities. I expect others who work with the app will also find it a significant upgrade. But Audio Hijack 4 really shines in reducing the learning curve for new users who haven’t yet discovered the glories of taking control of their audio and funneling it in new directions. Audio Hijack 4 costs $64 for new users or $29 for upgrades from Audio Hijack 3. You can download a trial version that lets you try all the features but adds unremovable noise after 10 minutes into an active session. If you’d like more background on using the app, you can also purchase Kirk McElhearn’s updated Take Control of Audio Hijack during checkout at Rogue Amoeba’s store.

For over 32 years, we’ve published professional, member-supported tech journalism that makes you smarter. Registration confirmation will be emailed to you. I had a problem when I upgraded to Audio Hijack 4 — my previous sessions from version 3 weren’t imported on the first launch, and trying to manually import them from within the app (via the Help menu) wasn’t working. I emailed Rogue Amoeba to ask for help, and had a conversation with Paul Kafasis over the weekend to determine where the problem was and how best to fix it. (I’d managed to workaround it by manually copying and renaming the preference lists from version 3, but Paul cautioned that it wasn’t an ideal solution, even if it did let me do a broadcast on Sunday.) Long story short, I was able to get the import to work correctly at last, and version 4.0.2 now incorporates the fix. Many thanks to Paul for his assistance (and persistance), and an example of good customer support. Does anyone know if Audio Hijack 4 still requires that the system security level be lowered to install Rogue Amoeba’s ACE drivers? It does. That’s always going to be a requirement, I’m afraid. They’re only lowering it to signed developer extensions, so the risk would be that a) a rogue malware operator had set up an account or hijacked an existing one b) that you were convinced to install such a system extension. I’ve never understood what makes their extension so special that it requires one to lower the system security level (because other plugins, say from Zoom or Camo, do not). It was possible on my first M1 MacBook Pro to restore the full security level after the installation, but on my M1 Pro MacBook Pro, that resulted in an inscrutable error. I wound up removing the extension, but then I still couldn’t restore full security and had to reinstall the system! I’ve been over this several times with RA tech support, and they have the temerity to refer me to Apple! Anyone who has dealt with Apple knows that as soon as they hear of third-party software, they ask users to remove it or refer them back to the developer! what makes their extension so special It’s pretty straightforward: there’s no way for Rogue Amoeba to achieve what they do without it. Apple doesn’t have a way to allow specific developers to receive authorization, so Rogue Amoeba has to follow the general developer guideline, which requires you lower security for all authorized developers. (You’d think you could perhaps anoint a specific one; I’m sure they’d pay a special fee to be in a higher-scrutiny list, even.) So if you need Rogue Amoeba’s features, they can’t do it without lower security. If Apple wanted to expose certain aspect of audio within the sandboxed full security environment, Rogue Amoeba wouldn’t need this. they have the temerity to refer me to Apple! Apple is more likely to listen to persistent user requests than those of developers. And they don’t listen well to users, either!

“Sign of the Times. I never thought that I would end up being a music producer. That never was a goal of mine as a kid. Did I love music? Yes. Did I think I was gonna be a part of the story we call “Hip-Hop”? No,” 9th Wonder captioned his post. “Everyone’s path is different into the culture. Mine was by way of a computer program in 2000. Some things you just do, out of necessity, not knowing the ripple effect it would have on culture. I was introduced to @flstudio in 2000 by my brother @khrysis_, and it all fell into place from there. Heavily ridiculed and looked down upon? Yes. Did it stop me from making slappers? No.” He continued: “Now, many moons later, making beats WITHOUT a computer is now almost obsolete; there are still hardware users in the culture, but I see more laptops and controllers than ever before. Either way, me stepping into a studio making Jay-Z’s “Threat” in 25 minutes was the beginning of a revolution. Sitting in a studio in front of half of Rocafella and make a beat with an @ibm ThinkPad in 2003 for such a legendary album, was mind blowing to some, but for me, it was just something I had been doing, over, and over, and over….making slappers on a PC.”
9th went on and gave praise to the “millions” of creatives who still use FL Studio around the world and told them to continue making beats and adding on to the culture. FL Studio was partially released in December 1997 and had an official launch in 1998 under the name FruityLoops. The program became a hit amongst musicians and producers, especially does Hip Hop as it made sampling and other beat-making tools more efficient.
Along with 9th Wonder, other big-name producers continue to use the program, such as 808Mafia, Metro Boomin, Boi-1da, Hit-Boy, Mike Will Made It, Mustard, TM88 and more. DJ Khaled recently came under fire after an old interview of him dragging the digital program surfaced online last month. In the clip, Khaled said programs such as FL Studio changed Hip Hop production for the worse and made it easy for anyone to be a beatsmith.
“Producing changed. They made Logic, they made Fruity Loops,” Khaled said at the time. “It’s called: too easy. It’s called: you tell a computer what to program. That’s why you see everybody is a producer and a DJ now.” “But it takes a great producer like me to tell them, ‘The sounds is garbage, they’re fake, don’t fall for the trap,’” he added. Many producers spoke up and took a stand against Khaled, including Hit-Boy, who explained that he actually used FL Studio to produce some of the We The Best mogul’s biggest hits. related news September 27, 2022 “I produced ‘theraflu’ and ‘wish you would’ for khaled and kanye fully off FL studio,” the King’s Disease producer wrote on Twitter.

A TikToker took the melody from the classic Americana song “Old MacDonald Had A Farm” and turned it into a raucous EDM-style rage beat, amassing over 150,000 views on the platform. The song sounds relatively normal in the clip at first, until six seconds in, when it explodes with a car crash sound effect, hi-hats, bass, and pummeling synthesizers. The music style is known as “rage,” an EDM-inflected rap subgenre popularized by artists like Yeat and Ken Carson. “Old McDonald ahh beat,” the creator wrote in on-screen text. The comments are overflowing with viewers writing memes about the music or demanding the creator put it on Spotify, with some calling it a “masterpiece.” “I’ve ascended into a higher plane of existence,” one commenter wrote. The creator, Shankz, has amassed over a million likes and tens of thousands of followers for making similarly “goofy” beats (like a recent Christmas-themed one) and bizarre parodies, along with more serious music production. The origin of the song “Old MacDonald” dates back centuries to the playwright Thomas d’Urfey, who wrote it for a 1706 opera and called it “In the Fields in Frost and Snow,” according to the songwriting news and tips outlet American Songwriter. Versions of the song were consistently reused, and it has persisted as a popular folk tune up to today. There’s a whole TikTok subgenre of music producers making intentionally silly beats by splicing strange sound effects into finished songs or purposefully going against proper sound design techniques. The style has gone so widespread that a producer even made a tutorial on how to make an “ACTUALLY good beat” with only “goofy ahh sounds.” Read next
More Than 1,600 Outstanding STEM Teacher-Leaders Earning Master Teacher Recognition Across New York State New Application Round for K-12 STEM Teachers and K-12 Counselors Now Open Until February 25, 2023 Governor Kathy Hochul announced the selection of 221 educators to the New York State Master Teacher Program, a professional network of public school teachers with a passion for inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders. These educators will join the network of Master Teachers, created in 2013, bringing the total number of selected NYS Master Teachers across New York State to over 1,600. Governor Hochul also announced the opening of the next round of applications for eligible K-12 STEM teachers and K-12 counselors in all regions. Interested applicants can review the eligibility requirements here. “Our teachers are the driving force behind New York’s leading education system, and continued investment in our world-class teachers is crucial in the development of our State’s future leaders,” Governor Hochul said. “I’m proud to announce the expansion of the Master Teacher network and the open application for the next round of STEM teachers and counselors. New York is home to many talented teachers and we owe an enormous debt of gratitude to educators across our state.” The 221 Master Teachers are dedicated professionals who teach science, technology, computer science, robotics, coding, engineering, math, and integrated STEM courses across grades K-12 including Advanced Placement, Honors, and Regents levels.The new members add 26 new school districts with a Master Teacher among their faculty. The program welcomes 52 elementary teachers and 37 teachers from high-needs districts including Albany City, Syracuse, Rochester, Utica City, Binghamton City, and Buffalo City School Districts. SUNY Interim Chancellor Deborah F. Stanley said, “Great teachers can change lives and guide students towards success. For nearly a decade, New York’s Master Teacher program has done just that and has recognized the critical contribution of New York State educators in setting students on that path toward rewarding careers in STEM. Millions of STEM jobs require some form of higher education. Teachers play a critical role in preparing those students for college and a career beyond the classroom in an ever-changing and ever-growing field.
