![]() ![]() And even more pointedly, more than 2,400 faculty members at more than 200 universities across the country have now called on Attorney General Merrick Garland to end the China Initiative. Yet a former China Initiative prosecutor, George Varghese, openly pondered, that given the increased economic threat China posed today, “Should we allow for foreign academic collaboration?” Many academic leaders say we should. Since 1901, 148 of the 432 American Nobel Prize winners were immigrants to the U.S. an attractive place for cutting-edge science and scientists to flourish. Scaring researchers is antithetical to the open and collaborative nature of fundamental research at academic institutions, which has historically made the U.S. And that’s good, because you want a little bit of fear out there to sensitize people to the magnitude of the problem.” Attorney for the District of Massachusetts Andrew Lelling, said, “I think those letters have had an in terrorem effect. One of the Justice Department’s China Initiative Steering Committee members, then- U.S. By design, the message sent a chill through the scientific community. In 2018, in conjunction with the FBI, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) sent 18,000 letters to academic institutions to be “vigilant” about intellectual property theft by China. He claimed almost every FBI field office saw cases in which China relied on “non-traditional collectors” rather than intelligence agents, “whether it’s professors, scientists, students.” This logic allowed FBI agents to target not just Chinese government agents, but a far larger category of individuals with a “nexus to China.” FBI Director Christopher Wray described Chinese espionage in hyperbolic language, calling it a “ whole-of-society threat” requiring a “whole-of-society response.” Wray decried “naivete” in the academic sector in particular. Justice Department unveiled the “ China Initiative,” a project designed to crack down on trade secret theft, hacking, and economic espionage conducted by – or for the benefit of – the Chinese government. science and technology at a time when the pandemic and climate change have become predominant threats to Americans’ health and prosperity. The reverberating effects within the scientific community threaten to undermine the primacy of U.S. government, and it could not come at a worse time. This trepidation results from a cramped and distorted vision of national security on the part of the U.S. Many are reconsidering their plans to stay in the United States. The study, conducted by the Committee of 100 and the University of Arizona, revealed that over 50 percent of scientists of Chinese ancestry working in the United States, regardless of citizenship, fear they are under surveillance by the U.S. This article first appeared at Just SecurityĬhinese and Chinese-American scientists are increasingly fearful about working in the United States, according to a recent survey.

![]() The Transmutation section has a pleasing Erlenmeyer flask graphic, which can be used. There’s also the option to fill in the blanks with a pseudo‑random note generator. There is a set of traditional scales, and a set that’s geared specifically towards acid melodies. The sequencer can be set to adhere to a number of different scales, and it’s possible to enter custom scales (with probabilities set for each note). It’s effectively independent control of the ‘last step’ position for each of those parameters, so that you can set a sequence going where the notes to which slide, for example, is applied drifts over time, to create interesting variations. This allows the number of steps before the end of the loop to be set independently for octave select, notes, slide, accent and vibrato. More on the Modulation and Effects in a moment, but first let’s turn to the original 303’s greatest flaw (or greatest asset, depending to whom you speak) - the Sequencer.Ĭlicking the Advanced button reveals tabs for the sequencer, modulation and effects pages.Īcid V’s grid sequencer works much as you’d expect, but has some interesting features including ‘Polymetric’ mode. Acid V is a software emulation of Roland’s legendary TB-303, bridging unprecedented audio quality, with a model & production ready workflow. For electronic musicians looking for THE iconic acid sound. One for an update, perhaps?Īfter locating and pressing the Advanced button you’re presented with tabbed pages for Sequencer, Modulation and Effects. Advanced Modulation system for evolving sounds. It would be useful if there was a keyboard shortcut to flip from one mode to another. One slightly bothersome detail is that the ‘Advanced’ button is used frequently to flip between the front‑panel view and the sequencer view, but it’s also the tiniest button, far, far away in the upper‑right corner of the window. As a TB-303 emulation, it provides an intuitive interface with scale-based pattern sequencing and arpeggiation controls. I was slightly unsure of the glowing green rings around the knobs at first, but they provide a good visual feedback when connected to the various modulation sources. Arturia Acid V NEW More Info & Price (Trial Available) Arturia Acid V is designed for sequencing and arpeggiation, especially for Acid-based dynamic patterns and basslines. The interface is nice and clear throughout, although I do hope that with repeated use the silver paint wears off around the cutoff knob as with the original. Gone, though, is the infamously difficult sequencer, replaced with a grid system that makes the note entering and editing process very easy and offers sequences of up to 64 steps. Vibrato can be assigned to notes in the same way as the traditional accent and glide. These are for distortion, which makes it easy to jump right into high‑energy screaming acid leads without having to search for a non‑flat 9V battery for that orange Boss pedal a sub‑oscillator with octave shift and a choice of waveforms and a vibrato section with depth and speed controls. ![]() You may have already noticed the addition of several extra knobs to the front panel. With all of the important original features dutifully included, new sequencing, modulation and audio capabilities have also been added. In recent months, Arturia has released an effect based on the iconic Leslie rotary speaker and an emulation of the acid house classic Roland TB-303, among other products.Arturia have another classic on their long list of software synths: a special little squelchy box.Īcid V is a software emulation of the ever popular Roland TB‑303.

For electronic musicians looking for THE iconic acid sound. Analog Lab Intro is a similar product to Play that was offered as a free download with the purchase of select MIDI controllers and occasionally as a standalone software suite. This isn’t the first time Arturia has thrust a free version of its software on the world. When we reviewed the original Analog Lab, we found it to be the perfect software suite for those who like to tweak presets over creating sounds from scratch. It costs $200 and remains mostly unchanged, but will receive the same UI refresh included with Analog Lab Play. It still allows access to thousands of presets captured from the renowned Arturia V Collection, Pigments and related soft synths. To that end, the original paid Analog Lab software is also getting a refresh. ![]() Salam salam gate area Ijale Oda Saki Lekki Beach Oyo Saki Parapo.

That being said, I don't think there are any historians who argue that Jesus was actually born on 25 December it is just the time of the year that the birth was eventually commemorated on. In either case, the resulting date is not 25 December. If one takes 1 AD as the date of birth of Jesus (since the year 0 AD is not used in the calendar), it would be August 20th (10 Muharram -639 AH) or July 7th (25 Dhu al-Qa`dah -640 AH). So, this would correspond to either 22 October (10 Muharram -645 AH) or 8 September (25 Dhu al-Qa`dah -646 AH).

So far, during these three tests, NASA has managed to load about half of the rocket's liquid oxygen and just a small fraction of the liquid hydrogen. Finally, engineers decided to roll the vehicle back to a hangar at Kennedy Space Center for modifications and repairs after the third attempt failed. NASA has already attempted to complete this "wet dress" rehearsal three times this spring. During this test, the rocket will be fully fueled and brought to within 10 seconds of engine ignition to work the pre-launch kinks out of the vehicle and its ground systems. However, an August launch remains speculative, with September or later this year being the more likely bet, considering the work NASA has left to complete.ĭuring a call with the media on May 6, NASA's chief of human exploration, Jim Free, said the space agency wanted to roll the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft out to the launch pad in late May and would target "early or mid" June for a wet dress rehearsal test. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson appeared to confirm this during a US House subcommittee hearing on Tuesday when he said, "We're going to launch it in August." If all goes well with final preparations before the Artemis I mission, it seems possible that NASA could launch in late August. Mission planners eliminate potential launch dates that would send Orion into extended eclipses during the flight." For example, NASA says, "The resulting trajectory for a given day must ensure Orion is not in darkness for more than 90 minutes at a time so that the solar array wings can receive and convert sunlight to electricity and the spacecraft can maintain an optimal temperature range. ![]() In its news release, NASA helpfully explains the various constraints behind these dates, including orbital mechanics. Depending on when the uncrewed demonstration mission launches, it could last from 26 to 42 days as Orion flies into a distant retrograde orbit around the Moon. The Artemis I mission will encompass the debut launch for NASA's large Space Launch System rocket and the second orbital flight of its Orion spacecraft. During this time period, due to various constraints, the space agency has preliminarily identified 158 launch opportunities. NASA has published a list of potential launch dates for the Artemis I mission ( see PDF), starting as early as July 26 and running through June of next year. ![]() This allows your images to continue to engage your audience, convey your message effectively, and represent your brand in the best possible light. ![]() ![]() With proper resizing techniques, you can ensure your images retain their sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy, no matter what dimensions you need them to be.
