Title: Mexican Gothic
Author: Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Publisher: Del Rey
Publication Date: 30 June 2020
Genre: Horror; Historical Fiction
Content & Trigger Warnings: Graphic violence, possession, suicide, murder, gore, body horror, drugging, family and child deaths, sexism, racism, incest and sexual assault.
*I received this book as an ARC from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
**Owing to the often graphic nature of this novel, I would not recommend it to readers under the age of 16
As some of you may know, I have a degree in English literature and during the course of my studies, I was exposed to a lot of literary fiction and classics. I read texts from Chaucer all the way to Margaret Atwood and thoroughly enjoyed every moment (give or take a couple of epic poems). Eventually, I had the privilege of reading Emily and Charlotte Brontë’s incredible novels Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre, two of my favourite books of all time. Their stories are considered gothic owing to the intense emotions, dark happenings, and strange occurrences that take place in them. I loved the eerie tones and colourful characters of each novel and recommend both to everyone I know. So, when I came across Mexican Gothic, I knew I had to give it a try.

GAME OF THE WEEK: MHAL Championship [VIDEO]
By Charlie Cornacchio
SAUGERTIES - The third time was a charm for the Spackenkill baseball team. Of course the first and second times were charms as well!
For the past three years now, the Spartans have won the Mid-Hudson Athletic League championship. The most recent came on Saturday after a 3-2 win over Marlboro.
The Iron Dukes beat Roosevelt 5-2 to earn the right to play in the championship; Spackenkill beat Webutuck 4-0 on a no-hitter by Josh Roasario in their semi-final match-up.
In the championship game, Spackenkill broke the ice early when Justin Etts led off with a double and came home on a single by pitcher Mike Hovermill. The Spartans scored again in the fifth with the same scenario; a double by Justin Etts and a single by Hovermill for what would prove to be the game winner.
Marlboro picked up a couple of runs in the 4th and 6th innings, but Mike Hovermill kept the dangerously explosive bats at bay and Spackenkill wins the MHAL Championship for the 3rd straight year.

TOWNSHIP OF LOWER MAKEFIELD
MINUTES - MAY 22, 2000
The regular meeting of the Planning Commission of the Township of Lower Makefield was held in the Municipal Building on May 22, 2000. Chairman Pazdera called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m.
John Pazdera, Chairman
Nancy Frick, Director Zoning, Inspection & Planning
Albert Roeper, Planning Commission Member
ZONING HEARING BOARD APPEAL #00-1060 - ADA PROPERTIES, L.P. AMENDED APPEAL/APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION
Mr. Henry VanBlunk was present on the amended Plan. He stated they were present some time ago; and since then they have been able to enter into an Agreement of Sale with the adjoining property owner to purchase four acres. They have been able to greatly reduce the number of variances they need. He stated they do need a Variance for the minimum front yard setback since the house is already I existence. They have 1.044 acres at the current time; and with the additional land, they will have a total gross area of about five acres. They must deduct the resource protected area so the net area is 2 acres since much of what they are purchasing is wetlands.
Ms. Gould asked about the size of the congregation, and Mr. VanBlunk stated there are approximately twenty families, but there are only fifteen who meet regularly. He stated this is an Orthodox Congregation, and one of the requirements is that you must be able to walk to the Synagogue on the Sabbath. Mr. Pazdera stated typically the whole front area of the property is packed with cars. Mr. VanBlunk stated this may be during times other than the Sabbath.
Ms. Gould asked the number of parking spaces proposed, and Mr. VanBlunk stated there are twenty-six including the handicap parking. Ms. Gould asked if they are proposing any additions to the dwelling, and Mr. VanBlunk stated only to the front driveway to accommodate two parking spaces for the residents. Mr. Pazdera asked if they are removing the swimming pool, and Mr. VanBlunk stated they are not. Mr. Pazdera asked if they will bring it up to code, and Mr. VanBlunk stated they will if it is not up to code. Ms. Gould asked if they are proposing to put any buffering between the property and the Harris property on the swimming pool side, and Mr. VanBlunk stated there is some buffering and they are not proposing any additional. He stated they do plan to add some buffering around the parking lot.
Ms. Gould asked if they calculated the impervious surface on the gross site, and Mr. VanBlunk stated they did. He did not know what it would be on the net. Mr. VanBlunk stated he feels it would be where it was at the last submission.
Mr. Allan asked if they anticipate that the Congregation will grow. Mr. Arthur Sagosky, President of the Synagogue, stated the Congregation has been in existence for approximately seventeen years. The requirement is that you must be able to walk to the Synagogue for the holidays and most people are not interested in walking which does not lend itself to significant growth. Ms. Gould stated she is concerned that if a sign is installed at the property, this will increase the potential of an increase in the size of the Congregation. Mr. Sagosky stated this will increase their visibility, but the requirements are still the same. He noted people may move to the area so that they could meet the requirement. He stated they do not intend to expand the Congregation by any significant amount.
Mr. Gunkel asked what they intend to do with the buildings on the Ronaldo property. Mr. VanBlunk stated they are only buying four acres and it does not include all the buildings. They do have the right of first refusal on the rest of the property if Mrs. Ronaldo ever intends to sell. Mr. VanBlunk stated they will merge the new lot with existing lot. He stated they will take ownership of the barn/garage and the Agreement calls for Mrs. Ronaldo to be able to continue to use it.
Mr. Garton stated they will have to subdivide the Ronaldo property and merge the two lots. A note will be on the Plan that there will be no further subdivision. Mr. Garton stated they will also be required to obtain Land Development Approval, and some of these issues will be addressed during that process.
Mr. Koch moved, Ms. Gould seconded and it was unanimously carried to recommend to the Zoning Hearing Board approval of the Special Exception for Appeal #00-1060.
#490-A - WILSHIRE GLEN FINAL PLAN RECOMMENDATION
Mr. Bill Deon, attorney, Mr. Ray Grochowski, engineer, and Ms. Cynthia Smith were present.
Mr. Deon stated the Plan that went to the Board of Supervisors showed a taper on the development property before it exits onto Pine Lane. A cul-de-sac was proposed rather than the road going to Raab Drive. The Board of Supervisors approved this road lay-out.
The PCS letter dated 5/12/00 was noted. Mr. Deon stated they will submit the information to CKS as noted in Item #1 of the PCS letter.
Item #2 was noted which required review and approval of the legal descriptions. These were found to be acceptable.
Mr. Deon stated they will comply with Item #3 prior to recording of the linens.
Item #4 was noted regarding environmental issues relating to the underground storage tanks, and they have agreed to the testing. There is an additional tank which will be removed. There was also some debris noted, and they have agreed to remove this and will comply with all Township standards. The Planning Commission asked when this will be done, and Mr. Deon stated the developer did not want to start this work until they start construction. They had recommended a condition of approval that this will be done upon issuance of the permit. They do not feel they should be required to do this before Final Plan approval since this would be prior to ownership.
They will comply with Items #5, #6, and #7. Mr. Pazdera asked if they would be willing to make all drawing changes prior to going to the Board of Supervisors, and Mr. Deon stated they would be willing to do so. Mr. Deon asked if they need to submit eleven full sets of plans to the Township, and Ms. Frick stated this is how it should be done.
Mr. Deon noted with regard to Item #4 they understand no one can move into the property until Skelly & Loy has given approval.
Ms. Gould asked if they have discussed the barn with the Historic Commission, and Mr. Deon stated they have not since they were never requested to come to a meeting. Ms. Frick stated the developer was sent a copy of the letter regarding the barn. Mr. Deon stated they agreed to place a note on the Plan that if it is possible to convert the existing barn it a single family residence they would be willing to do so. He noted the costs to do so however, may make it cost prohibitive and it is unlikely it will remain on the property. He has committed that if it does not remain, it would be dismantled and reconstructed on another site. They are currently in negotiations with someone who would bear all costs for removal, and the developer would receive no funds for it. Mr. Gunkel asked if they would relocate it to a Township property, and Mr. Deon stated they would be willing to do this. Mr. Ed Jones who owns the Manor House, stated Jeff Marshall has agreed to take the barn. The entire cost of removing it is $20,000 not including reconstruction costs. He stated he has discussed this with Mrs. Godshalk and Ms. Langtry and advised them that if they want it, they could have it as well. Mr. Allan asked what they will do with the foundation when they dismantle the barn, and Mr. Jones stated it will possible be integrated into a new home. He stated the retaining walls in the rear will also be retained. Mr. Jones noted Mr. Marshall has dismantled a number of barns I the past.
Mr. Gunkel moved and Mrs. Gould seconded to recommend to the Board of Supervisors approval of the Final Plan for Wilshire Glen, Plans dated 11/25/98, last revised 4/13/00 with the stipulation that all items in the PCS letter of 5/12/00 be adhered to and the prints be changed and approved by the Township engineer before going to the Board of Supervisors, and with the stipulation that on Item #4 that they be approved by Skelly & Loy prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy.
Mr. Victor Fiori, 122 Dolington Road, stated the storm water drainage off Wilbur Road showed a pipe extension on the previous plan and asked if this will still be the case. Mr. Deon stated it will. Mr. Fiori asked if this is necessary, and Mr. Deon stated he feels this was the request of the Township. Mr. Grochowski stated there is a ponding problem, and they were willing to help with this problem. Mr. Fiori stated if they extend the pipe it will gather more storm water and will cause further erosion on his property. He showed pictures of his property. Mr. Doherty stated they will take in no more water and there should actually be less.
Ms. Holly Bussey asked if water will remain in the detention basin, and Mr. Grochowski stated it should be dry within twenty-four hours. Ms. Bussey stated there are some concerns about geese nesting I this area and asked if some plants could be added around the basin. Mr. Doherty stated trees cannot be placed in the detention basin berm. Ms. Bussey asked that they look into other controls for the geese problem. Mr. Doherty stated to his knowledge they have not had any problems with geese in areas where water drains I twenty-four hours. Ms. Bussey asked about street names since it appears they will now have three Pine Lanes. Mr. Allan noted a way to identify the various streets with an arrow or the possibility of having Pine Lane East and Pine Lane West. Ms. Bussey also questioned the use of Raab Drive and Raab Court. Mr. Fiori suggested the name "Oliver Court." Mr. Garton stated the Board of Supervisors will make the final decision on street names. Ms. Bussey stated there have been stop signs discussed for the intersection of Knoll and Pine Lane. Mr. Pazdera stated the Police Department will make this decision.
Motion to approve carried unanimously.
#508 - VALLEY DAY SCHOOL SITE PRELIMINARY PLAN DISCUSSION
Mr. Nick Casey from the Quaker Group was present with Mr. Brian Tersaga, engineer. Mr. Tersaga stated this is a 15.5 acres site approximately five acres of which is resource restricted with a net site area of 10.5 acres. It is located in the R-2 District. They are entitled to twenty-one lots, but the Plan shows seventeen. They have received all of their review letters.
The PCS letter of 4/20/00 was noted, and they indicated they will comply with all items. They are requesting a waiver on the cul-de-sac length since they are beyond the maximum length permitted. They are requesting the waiver because of the way the lots are configured and the natural resource restrictions. They also have limited frontage. They feel this type of waiver had been approved in the past by the Township.
The applicant indicated they would like to discuss the improvements which may be required along Mill Road. There is a bituminous sidewalk on the east side of Mill Road, and they have limited frontage on Mill Road. They feel fee-in-lieu of sidewalks may be in order since the sidewalk on their side would not go anywhere.
The applicant also stated they need to discuss sewers. The plan was submitted showing a pump station. It was noted their attorney, Mr. VanLuvanee, would like to arrange a meeting with the Sewer Authority, CKS, and the Township attorney to see how the sewers will be addressed.
Mr. Allan asked about the length of the cul-de-sac, and it was noted it is approximately 800 feet. The applicant stated both Rolling Greene and Peake Farm both had similar waivers. Mr. Allan stated he feels there is sufficient room to permit a circular route. He stated it is very difficult to get emergency vehicles and school buses back on these cul-de-sac areas. Mr. Casey stated they feel this would result in lots with roads all around them. He stated they were led to believe the Township did not want a road through the wetlands. Mr. Doherty stated this would require a Variance since they cannot disturb the wetlands. Mr. Allan stated he feels 800 feet is too long for a cul-de-sac. Mr. Casey stated they are aware of other areas in the Township where cul-de-sacs which were substantially longer were approved. Mr. Tersaga showed a list of these developments. The Planning Commission noted a number of these were special situations where a substantial amount of open space had been dedicated to the Township, and the cul-de-sac were permitted to accommodate this. Mr. Gunkel stated this is a relatively small number of homes despite the length of the cul-de-sac. Mr. Pazdera suggested they review this issue and explore some other options including a loop.
With regard to improvements to Mill Road, Mr. Doherty suggested fee-in-lieu. Ms. Gould stated if people are going to use the sidewalk on the opposite side, they should consider striping a large section for a pedestrian crossing. Mr. Pazdera stated the Planing Commission would be in favor of fee-in-lieu for the frontage improvements.
Mr. Tersaga agreed to contact the Township solicitor and Mr. Hoffmeister on the sewer issues.
Mr. Garton noted Ms. Frick has received a written extension letter.
Mr. Casey stated there was a question on the wetlands determination by the Corps and asked how they should proceed. Mr. Doherty stated Skelly & Loy will still have to go out and determine the buffer. He feels they should get a jurisdictional determination. Mr. Casey also noted the requirement for an environmental impact study and noted the site is 16 acres and only a small portion is wetlands which is broken by the railroad, so that they do not have ten contiguous acres. Mr. Doherty stated this is adjacent to Brock Creek. He stated their interpretation is if it abuts a wetland that goes for ten acres, which Brock Creek does, they have to do an impact study. Mr. Allan stated he would like to have an impact study because they want to know how it will impact the existing homes. The developer agreed to provide this.
Mr. Casey stated the Historic Commission indicated they wanted to see an archeological study based on the fact that this was a Civil War site although no documentation has been provided to show this. Ms. Gould suggested he send a letter to the Historic Commission regarding this. Mr. Casey stated they have not met with the Historic Commission, and he will discuss setting up such a meeting with Ms. Frick.
Mr. Pazdera suggested they present some sketches on the roads before proceeding with Plan revisions.
Mr. Gunkel stated he is concerned that there may be something that PCS may have missed because of the large number of items
They did discover, and he would not want a confrontation in the future over anything they may have missed at this point. Mr. Casey stated they did have a productive meeting with Mr. Doherty, and they would like to continue to work with him.
Ms. Gould stated she is concerned with the work currently being done in the Township by the Quaker Group at the Peake Farm and would like to discuss that project with the developer since she has a number of items of concern with regard to that tract. Mr. Allan stated there are trees on that tract that are in terrible condition. He also noted the height of the grass which is not in compliance with the Ordinance.
Mr. Mark Pajer expressed concern with the amount of traffic and excessive speed already taking place in the area. He feels something should be done to help slow down the speed to control traffic. He stated he does not feel there should be two entrances on Mill Road, and Mr. Pazdera stated this will not occur since there is not sufficient frontage.
Mr. Rich Slaven asked if the wetlands area will remain open, and it was noted this area will not be built upon. Mr. Slaven also noted the adjacent Faytol Tract, and it was noted this is Township property.
Mr. Bob Jencosa stated traffic improvements should be made in the area because of the traffic on Edgewood and Mill Roads. He asked if there are any requirements o starting and stopping times for construction. He also asked about the prices to be charged and the style of homes to be built. He stated he would like to insure that they are typical for the area. Mr. Garton stated the Township has no authority to dictate the house style other than it will be single-family. He stated the developer is spending a fair amount of money, and he therefore assumes that they will build a home that will cost a fair amount of money. Mr. Allan asked the square footage and price they are anticipating, and Mr. Casey stated they will probably have one model close to $300,000 as a base price. He stated the homes will probably be similar to what has been built in the area. Mr. Jencosa asked about the direction of the construction traffic, and Mr. Pazdera stated it would be at the entrance to the development. Ms. Gould stated there are requirements regarding keeping the streets clean. Mr. Jencosa stated based on the plan, Amberwood does not go through and he would like to see Amberwood finished. Mr. Doherty stated it is a stub street so there will only be a barricade. He stated there may be the possibility of this being vacated in the area. Ms. Kimberly Stravincki, Lot #41 stated she had discussed with Mr. Fedorchak the dead end streets, and he indicated it would be a good idea to have these finished in a curt as opposed to a dead-end barricade. Mr. Allan stated he has never heard this. Mr. Allan suggested that when this matter comes up for dedication, that they discuss it further.
Mr. Michael Duckowski asked when they could review the site Plans, and Mr. Pazdera stated they are available for review during business hours at the Township Building. Mr. Duckowski asked at what point the developer addresses the impact on adjacent properties. He particularly noted the woods adjacent to the property. Mr. Pazdera stated the two areas of open space will remain untouched. Mr. Garton stated it appears they are preserving the tree line.
Mr. Dan Martin, Hearthstone Drive, stated it is not heavily wooded in the rear of his property. He stated he was advised that they are permitted to start construction at 7:00 a.m. and he does not fell this is reasonable. He is also concerned with the impact on the existing wildlife. He also expressed concern with the runoff since he has a vigorous stream running through his rear yard during heavy rains and there is a significant amount of erosion. He stated he feels they should add to the woods and install mature trees. Mr. Martin stated he is also concerned that no one will buy the lots that are adjacent to the railroad.
Ms. Patty Morrison stated she is concerned that if Amberwood is opened up this will result in additional traffic through her neighborhood. Mr. Doherty stated it is not known at this time whether this will occur since they would have to go to the Zoning Hearing Board to get relief if this were to occur.
Mr. Martin stated if they are going to take out the existing brush, it will be more of a disturbance to them with the trains because the brush does act as somewhat of a sound barrier. He asked when this development will start and when it will be completed. Mr. Casey stated they hope to start in the beginning of the year and feels they will be sole within one or two years.
One gentleman asked if they will continue to receive notification about meetings, and Mr. Pazdera stated they will receive notice whenever the Planning Commission meets on this issue.
Mr. David Young, Hearthstone Drive, stated he has no trees blocking his view of the development, and he is concerned about run off as well. He is also concerned about the Planning Commission's comments regarding this developer's existing projects in the Township. Mr. Doherty stated they cannot get dedication until they meet all Township requirements. He stated there is progress being made with their other developments.
#492 - LOBERG TRACT PRELIMINARY PLAN RECOMMENDATION FOR DENIAL
Mr. Edward Murphy and Mr. Michael Stadulis were present. Mr. Murphy stated before the Planning Commission this evening is a further revision to the plan ad the PCS review letter of 5/1/8/00. He stated they are concerned that they continue to get additional ideas from the Township as to how to make this a better plan. He stated even though they have the 5/18 review letter, and they are for the most part willing to comply with the items, it is already moot because they have now obtained relief from the Zoning Hearing Board to eliminate the cattle trough and by eliminating this, they can make a more regularly-shaped basin and preserve the hedgerow. He stated the 5/1/ review letter reviewed the Plan that does not incorporate this change. Mr. Murphy stated also within the last month they have been approached by the Historic Commission to consider preserving the springhouse located near the detention basin. On the Plans before the Planning Commission this evening, that springhouse would have been eliminated. He stated while they do not have a problem considering the request, it will require further re-design of the detension basin. Mr. Murphy stated they still have not been able to go to the Board of Supervisors to deal with the issue of the through street since the Planning Commission has not made a recommendation on the Preliminary Plan. He asked that the Planning Commission make a recommendation so that they can take the road issue and the springhouse issue to the Board of Supervisors before they make any further revisions to the Plan. He stated if they save the springhouse, it will require additional relief from the Zoning Hearing Board from the natural resource protection standards since the basin will have to change in shape.
Ms. Gould asked what other waivers would be required if they went to the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Murphy stated it would be for the front yard setback and how they would measure the rear yard setback - whether it be from the lot line or the natural resource protection limits. This would be for the two lots which are abutting the basin.
Mr. Gunkel stated they do not have a review letter based on a drawing showing what they are now proposing. Mr. Murphy stated he would be willing to accept a denial on the current Plans so that he would be willing to accept a denial on the current Plan so that they can go to the Board of Supervisors to get them to make a decision on the road lay out and the springhouse.
Mr. Garton stated it would appear that they are requesting the denial of the pending Plan. The Planning Commission could draw the attention of the Board of Supervisors to the Planing Commission's continuing interest in a cul-de-sac as opposed to a through street and whether or not they would be in favor of the preservation of the springhouse.
Mr. Murphy stated until the Board of Supervisors gives guidance on the road lay out, they cannot make any revisions to the Plan.
Ms. Gould stated she did not feel the Board of Supervisors would be happy with the Planning Commission sending them a Plan they have not reviewed.
Mr. Stadulis stated that at the last Board of Supervisors meeting Mr. Fegley asked if they would make these changes before Preliminary Plan approval, and Mr. Stadulis had advised them he would not until they go to the Final Plan stage.
Mr. Gunkel asked about the springhouse, and Ms. Langtry stated it will be part of Lot #10. Mr. Gunkel stated the owner could knock it down after purchasing the lot, and Mr. Murphy stated they could not do this if there was a façade agreement. Mr. Stadulis stated while it is currently a rental property, it could not be a rental property for Lot #10. Mr. Allan stated he feels the developer should bring the Supervisors the Plan and let the Board of Supervisors decide. Mr. Murphy stated the Plan Mr. Doherty reviewed shows the through street. He states they have no engineered plan showing a cul-de-sac. Mr. Allan stated the Board of Supervisors told then to present a Plan without a cul-de-sac. Mr. Stadulis stated he prepared a cul-de-sac plan as a courtesy to the neighbors. He stated he advised them however, that the Board of Supervisors indicated they wanted the through road. Mr. Murphy stated the Planning Commission recommended a cul-de-sac almost one year ago.
Ms. Gould moved and Mr. Koch seconded to recommend to the Board of Supervisors denial of the Plan for the Loberg Tract based on deficiencies in the Plan as outlined in the 5/18/00 PCS letter.
Mr. Stan Tilton, Thistlewood Drive, stated the cul-de-sac came about because the Board of Supervisors directed the homeowners to reach a compromise with the developer, and when the cul-de-sac went back to the Board of Supervisors, the Board of Supervisors stated the homeowners misunderstood the scope of their compromise.
Mr. Bill Bahr, Thistlewood Drive, asked why the Township is opposed to cul-de-sacs. Mr. Gunkel stated it is because of safety concerns so that they are able to evacuate neighborhoods if necessary. Mr. Bahr stated a cul-de-sac is safer for children playing in the street. Mr. Bahr was advised that children should not be playing in the street since this is unsafe. Mr. Bahr stated they wanted to preserve the tree line and felt it was unsafe to enter off Mt. Eyre Road. He stated only eleven homes are proposed, and he does not feel they should require a through street.
Mr. Pazdera noted the Planning Commission previously voted three to one in favor of the cul-de-sac.
Motion to recommended denial carried unanimously.
DISCUSSION AND MOTION ON LETTER FROM MICHAEL L. D'AMATO
The letter dated 5/2/00 from Michael L. D'Amato was noted. Mr. Pazdera moved, and Mr. Gunkel seconded and it was unanimously carried to recommend to the Board of Supervisors that they follow the current Ordinance with any plans submitted.
There being no further business, Ms. Gould moved, Mr. Koch seconded and it was unanimously carried to adjourn the meeting at 9:30 p.m.

As if the field of AI wasn’t competitive enough — with giants like Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft and even car companies like Toyota scrambling to hire researchers — there’s now a new entry, with a twist. It’s a non-profit venture called OpenAI, announced today, that vows to make its results public and its patents royalty-free, all to ensure that the scary prospect of computers surpassing human intelligence may not be the dystopia that some people fear. Funding comes from a group of tech luminaries including Elon Musk, Reid Hoffman, Peter Thiel, Jessica Livingston and Amazon Web Services. They have collectively pledged more than a billion dollars to be paid over a long time period. The co-chairs are Musk and Sam Altman, the CEO of Y Combinator, whose research group is also a funder. (As is Altman himself.) Musk, a well-known critic of AI, isn’t a surprise. But Y Combinator? Yep. That’s the tech accelerator that started 10 years ago as a summer project that funded six startup companies by paying founders “ramen wages” and giving them gourmet advice so they could quickly ramp up their businesses. Since then, YC has helped launch almost 1,000 companies, including Dropbox, Airbnb, and Stripe, and has recently started a research division. For the past two years, it’s been led by Altman, whose company Loopt was in the initial class of 2005, and sold in 2012 for $43.4 million. Though YC and Altman are funders, and Altman is co-chair, OpenAI is a separate, independent venture.
Essentially, OpenAI is a research lab meant to counteract large corporations who may gain too much power by owning super-intelligence systems devoted to profits, as well as governments which may use AI to gain power and even oppress their citizenry. It may sound quixotic, but the team has already scored some marquee hires, including former Stripe CTO Greg Brockman (who will be OpenAI’s CTO) and world-class researcher Ilya Sutskever, who was formerly at Google and was one of the famed group of young scientists studying under neural net pioneer Geoff Hinton in Toronto. He’ll be OpenAI’s research director. The rest of the lineup includes top young talent whose resumes include major academic groups, Facebook AI and DeepMind, the AI company Google snapped up in 2014. There is also a stellar board of advisors including Alan Kay, a pioneering computer scientist.
OpenAI’s leaders spoke to me about the project and its aspirations. The interviews were conducted in two parts, first with Altman and then another session with Altman, Musk, and Brockman. I combined the interviews and edited for space and clarity.
How did this come about?Sam Altman: We launched YC Research about a month and a half ago, but I had been thinking about AI for a long time and so had Elon. If you think about the things that are most important to the future of the world, I think good AI is probably one of the highest things on that list. So we are creating OpenAI. The organization is trying to develop a human positive AI. And because it’s a non-profit, it will be freely owned by the world.
Elon Musk: As you know, I’ve had some concerns about AI for some time. And I’ve had many conversations with Sam and with Reid [Hoffman], Peter Thiel, and others. And we were just thinking, “Is there some way to insure, or increase, the probability that AI would develop in a beneficial way?” And as a result of a number of conversations, we came to the conclusion that having a 501c3, a non-profit, with no obligation to maximize profitability, would probably be a good thing to do. And also we’re going to be very focused on safety.
And then philosophically there’s an important element here: we want AI to be widespread. There’s two schools of thought — do you want many AIs, or a small number of AIs? We think probably many is good. And to the degree that you can tie it to an extension of individual human will, that is also good.

NIH supports research on fish models for human disease because teleost fish, including zebrafish, allow the rapid and efficient use of resources to explore problems fundamental to the development and function of animals with backbones. This proposal describes resources to facilitate the translation of functional information from teleost medical models to human biology. Most teleost genes have a one-to-one relationship with human genes, but due to a genome duplication event, teleosts have two copies of many human genes, especially genes controlling developmental and physiological mechanisms. Teleost duplicates of human genes have often shared between them the functions of the corresponding mammalian single-copy gene (subfunctionalization) and have often evolved new functions (neofunctionalization) more rapidly than singletons. The problem is: Which functions of teleost genes are due to inheritance from the last common human/fish ancestor and which are due to evolution since the teleost genome duplication? Solutions to this problem are important because the connectivity of teleost and human genomes is crucial for translating teleost research to human biology. The most recently diverged unduplicated ray-fin fish provides a bridge to connect the duplicated teleost genome to the unduplicated human genome. Spotted gar (Lepisosteus oculatus) occupies an unduplicated recent outgroup to the teleost lineage and is a convenient system for genomic, gene expression, and gene function analyses.
Aim 1 is to construct a high-resolution genetic linkage map for spotted gar using an innovative next-generation sequence-based genotyping methodology.
Aim 2 is to construct a resource of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) for gar and to develop bioinformatics that assign ESTs to thousands of markers on the linkage map.
Aim 3 is to construct a resource of tiled BACs (bacterial artificial chromosomes) using a novel method that includes all markers on the genetic linkage map, and to develop bioinformatics to associate BACs to individual ESTs.
Aim 4 is to develop bioinformatic tools to integrate genetic markers, ESTs, and tiled clones into conserved synteny maps for comparative genomics of humans and teleosts.
Aim 5 is to test predictions of the hypotheses of subfunctionalization and neofunctionalization as mechanisms for the functional evolution of gene duplicates by using gar sequences to detect non-coding elements that function in transgenic zebrafish. Significance: Achieving these aims will provide resources that facilitate the connectivity of teleost and human genomes, thereby translating teleost biology to human biomedicine. Comparative maps of gar, teleost and human genomes focus attention on regions of the gar genome that contain singletons corresponding to duplicated biomedical genes in teleosts and to discover the functions of these unduplicated genes. Teleost researchers can exploit this knowledge to distinguish ancestral from derived gene structure and function, a critical question for teleost-to-human translational research.
Fish biomedical models allow rapid and efficient analysis of human disease mechanisms. Most model fish species, however, possess a duplicated genome that often disrupts the one-to-one relationship between human and fish genes. Proposed work will provide genomic resources for an unduplicated fish genome that will better link model fish and human genomes and thus will more effectively translate research on fish biomedical models to human health and disease.

Treating Acne - When Should I Seek Medical Attention
It's a fact that acne is probably the most harmful skin disorders among both teenagers and adults as well. Not merely does it affects people actually but acne has the potential to cause psychological results, which may be cara menghilangkan jerawat more devastating. We realize there are many products available to treat acne. A few of these treatments include over-the-counter cleansers, lotions, etc. Even though many mild forms of acne could be treated by some over-the-counter products, more serious types of acne may necessitate medical attention. So, how can you know when to seek medical assistance to treat your acne?
It is important to properly look after and take the necessary steps to treat and stop it, but it can be important to know whenever your acne requires you to see a dermatologist. The decision to get medical attention to treat your acne considers several things. Among the most important factors you should think about when deciding to seek medical attention for your acne may be the fact of how you are feeling about your pimples and how it's affecting you, and the medical details surrounding your acne condition. In the event you are the victim of a bad very severe type of acne such as cystic acne and none of the merchandise you've tried to treat it have worked for you personally, then there's no reason why you should hesitate to see a doctor for special treatment.
Severe acne could cause real to your skin if you don't treat it properly before it's too late. For one thing, severe acne may leave long lasting scars! Which is one of the most significant reasons why you should seek medical assistance as soon as possible. Treatment may help reduce scarring. Acne scarring come in different types, and appear on some people while others don't have them. In men, scars on the facial skin and neck could make shaving hard. Shaving can irritate scars, specifically larger, more prominent ones, and will further irritate the skin.
How are acne scars treated? There are two elements taken in consideration to treat acne scars: the type of acne you have, as well as your skin type. Both of these factors play a significant role in how your acne scarring are treated. The best way to prevent acne scars is to avoid acne, and that means you should find what works for you and stick to it. When you have cystic acne, a more severe type of acne, there is no doubt you will need to see an acne skin care professional. Painful cysts might need to be drained by a physician. This kind of acne usually requires medical attention because of its severity. It can also last for months and result in a good deal of discomfort to sufferers of the form of severe acne.
Acne can also have negative psychological effects on people. And occasionally these psychological effects are a lot more difficult to deal with than the actual physical scarring. For most acne sufferers, acne can cause them to become anxious or depressed, suffering from what those around them think and how they are perceived.

“Only thanks to the tam tam of the network did we learn that an 18-year-old boy in Fano, for refusing to wear a mask, was taken over by the carabinieri and later subjected to a Tso at a health facility”. This was denounced by Senator Gianluigi Paragone, leader of ItalExit. “A fact of unprecedented gravity that has been silenced by almost all the media, demonstrating that in Italy any manifestation of dissent, even that of a student who asked himself legitimate questions, is subjected to censorship by all the main newspapers. But not. alone: an 18-year-old boy, for having expressed a dissident thought, is marked for life by the humiliation of a Tso treatment that remembers in a sinister way the practices of certain regimes of the past “, concludes Paragone.

Returns: 7 days, buyer pays return shipping (more)
Styx II is the second album by American band Styx, released in July 1973.
After releasing their debut album, which consisted mostly of cover songs, the band intended to write some strong original new material; Dennis DeYoung was particularly in favor of this. DeYoung had written a song by himself on an electric piano in the band's garage, and had originally intended for it to be on the first album. He later decided to play it on an acoustic piano. However, Bill Traut wanted to save it for the second album. The result was Lady, written about DeYoung's wife Suzanne.
"Lady" failed to be a hit when it was first released in 1973; however, after the band released their fourth album "Man of Miracles" in 1974, they went to WLS, the most powerful Chicago radio station at the time, and convinced the program director (Jim Smith) to replay this song. It wound up being played frequently on the air in Chicago. In May 1975, the song broke out nationally, eventually peaking at no. 6 on the Billboard charts.
Besides "Lady," the album contained some upbeat and prog rock songs, such as the rockers "You Need Love" and "I'm Gonna Make You Feel It," which were written by DeYoung and sung by James "JY" Young.
This is also the first album on which John Curulewski wrote and sang on two songs: the proggish, jazzy "A Day," which has an unusual sound for the band, and the boogie humor song "You Better Ask," whose outro features a snippet of Strangers in the Night on calliope organ and an evil laugh.
Side 2 opens with a DeYoung rendition of Little Fugue in G by Bach, played on pipe organ at a Chicago cathedral, and segues into the mellow prog rocker "Father O.S.A."
The rocker "Earl of Roseland" was written by DeYoung based on early memories from when he grew up in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood, where he had formed the band with the Panozzo brothers.
After Styx moved to A&M Records and achieved national success in the US, Styx II went Gold shortly before the success of The Grand Illusion (1977) and became the only big-selling album from the Wooden Nickel era, because of "Lady." The album was reissued in 1980 by their prior label, Wooden Nickel. Under the title Lady, the reissue had new artwork (though it is not to be confused with a Styx compilation album that was later released with the same name). Until the release of Crash of the Crown in 2021 it was the only Styx album to not feature material written or co-written by Young (apart from their covers 2005 album, Big Bang Theory).
Styx (/stɪks/) is an American rock band from Chicago that formed in 1972 and is best known for melding hard rock guitar balanced with acoustic guitar, synthesizers mixed with acoustic piano, upbeat tracks with power ballads, and incorporating elements of international musical theatre. The band established itself with a progressive rock sound in the 1970s, and began to incorporate pop rock and soft rock elements in the 1980s.
Beginning with Styx in 1972, the band usually released an album every year throughout the 1970s. Styx II (1973) had the sleeper hit "Lady", a power ballad which reached No. 6 in the US, helping the album make the top 20. "Lady" was also a top 20 hit in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Equinox (1975) and Crystal Ball (1976) reached the US top 70 with the first featuring "Lorelei", a No. 6 hit in Canada, while the second marked the addition of Tommy Shaw to the band.
Styx's commercial breakthrough in North America came with The Grand Illusion (1977), which peaked at No. 6 in both the US and Canada and became the first of four straight multi-platinum albums in the US for Styx. It featured the single "Come Sail Away", a top 10 hit in both countries. The band's follow-up, Pieces of Eight (1978), was another No. 6 hit in the US, but peaked higher in Canada due to the top 10 hits "Renegade" and "Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)". In 1979, Styx's Cornerstone went to No. 2 in both countries on the strength of the cross-border No. 1 hit ballad "Babe". The album became their breakthrough album in Australia and New Zealand, reaching the top 20, with "Babe" peaking at No. 3. "Babe" was a No. 6 hit in the UK, their first and only top 40 hit there, leading Cornerstone to be their first album to chart there (at No. 36).
In 1981, Styx's Paradise Theatre was a No. 1 album in the US and Canada, while also reaching the top 10 in Scandinavia and the UK (their biggest album there) and the top 30 in Australia and New Zealand. "The Best of Times" off the album reached No. 1 in Canada, No. 3 in the US, and the top 30 in several other countries, while "Too Much Time on My Hands" was also a top 10 hit in North America. Kilroy Was Here (1983) was Styx's last major hit album, reaching the top 3 in North America and the top 10 in Scandinavia, although it was less successful elsewhere. Its lead single, "Mr. Roboto", became Styx's third chart-topper in Canada, was a No. 3 hit in the US, and was their biggest hit in Germany (No. 8). After a seven-year break, Styx returned with Edge of the Century (1990), which reached No. 63 in the US with its single, "Show Me the Way", becoming a top 3 hit in North America in early 1991.
Overall, Styx had eight songs that hit the top 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100, as well as 16 top 40 singles. Seven of their eight top 10 singles were written and sung by founding member and lead singer Dennis DeYoung, who has not been part of the band since 1999. Styx sold over 20 million records for A&M between their signing in 1976 and 1984.

Brown County Home Solutions has “made great progress” in renovating the former Avenue D Baptist Church into an inclement weather shelter for the homeless, which the organization’s director hopes to see opened in January.
“I just need people to help,” executive director Linda Heitman said. “If I can get a group of 20 people for half a day or a whole day, I think I could get most of these (remaining) projects knocked out.
“My biggest need right now is people — volunteers.”
Heitman listed recent accomplishments including:
• Fire alarm system is installed and has been inspected and approved by the fire marshal.
• Emergency lights are in.
• The emergency landing and staircase was delivered. Heart of Texas Mechanical works installed the staircase and worked Thursday on finishing touches.
• Water is on.
• Gas is on. “We have heat. We have lights,” Heitman said.
• Early Glass is replacing broken windows.
Projects still to be completed include:
• “The floors need to be repaired upstairs so I need some carpenters to repair the floors,” Heitman said.
• “I have some electrical work that needs to be done, and then I’m ready to turn it over the the sponsors to get the rooms ready. We’re really close.”
Heitman said earlier the shelter will have a capacity of 16. Men will be welcome as long as they are part of a family unit. Single men will be sent to New Beginnings church.

When I was in eighth grade, I spent a lot of time laying by a pool trying to tan my skin and lighten my hair. My friends and I drove my mother crazy when we broke into her pantry searching for lemon juice so we could pour it over our hair and bask in the sun in hopes our hair would turn lighter. While I swore my hair really did become lighter that summer, I never tried using lemon juice again. Instead, through college, I opted on blonde highlights done at a salon. With sunny days approaching and my hair back at its natural color–light brown–I am wondering if lemon juice would be a less expensive way to alter my hair this summer.
Lemons have a sound reputation of being great for our bodies, but is it any different when applied to our hair? On the New York Times website, Roger Clemens, professor of molecular pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Southern California, explains that lemon juice may actually work. Lemon juice alone might not do much for our hair, however:
“…the acid in lemons, combined with oxygen and the sun’s UV rays, causes acid oxidation, [it] highlights or lightens hair,” according to Clemens.
While the sun naturally lightens hair on our bodies and heads, Clemens explains that the “lemon juice serves as an accelerator,” causing hair to lighten quicker than it would with the sun alone. Dr. Francesca J. Fusco, a dermatologist at Mount Sinai Medical Center, explains that the lemon juice “acts as a weak bleaching agent when exposed to sunlight.”
Clemens points out, however, that the lemon juice might work differently on different hair colors. He says that the lighter the hair, the more effective the results. “The results with darker hair may not be so desirable, such as orange or orange red,” Clemens says. Sweet Cosmetics, an online natural beauty product website, actually explains that using lemon juice is like “a surprise party for your hair […] you don’t really know what color to expect,” so just be aware that lemon juice may give you blonde highlights, or it might turn your hair as orange as a pumpkin.
Verdict: Fact. Lemon juice will lighten lighter shades of hair; however, it is important to remember that lemon juice will work differently on everyone’s own hair. You might want to try using lemon juice on a small portion of your hair before spraying it on your whole head.
Being out in the sun, though, will naturally lighten all shades of hair, so enjoy the beautiful weather while lightening your hair naturally! If you do want to give lemon juice a try, it is recommended to make a mixture of one cup lemon juice and a quarter cup water. If you have dry hair, try using one cup of lemon juice and a quarter cup conditioner, as the lemon juice might dry your tresses out. Pour the mixture into a spritzer and spray on to your hair until damp. Lay out in the sun for about a thirty minutes to an hour, then rinse. Clemens explains that lemon juice is “not powerful enough to harm the hair—at least not enough that it cannot be reversed with the use of a good conditioner.”
If you are looking to go lighter this summer and want to take a natural approach, give lemon juice a try!

How to Prevent Tesla Model S Error Codes from Occurring
Tesla app charging interrupted error message:
This happens when the car has finished charging but we are still charging trickle. Most likely, this error message is caused by switching between single-phase and three-phase charging.
Try setting the charger to only offer single-phase or three-phase charging in Easee Cloud. If you cannot find this setting, contact us in chat and we will help you.
Note that if you are also charging another car that requires single-phase charging, the Easee charger must be in single-phase or automatic mode.
This can create problems. We recommend that you disable this option. Is the car starting to charge itself again?
A bug in Tesla’s firmware causes cars to start recharging, even when Smart Charging tries to stop it.
Activate and deactivate scheduled departures/recharges again.
Asymmetric Load on Stages
If you have a Model S that charges in three phases on your computer network, you may experience unbalanced loads on all three phases. Easee will only prevent the most loaded stage from exceeding the set value.
There is no way around this, as the car charger has limited this. The only vehicles capable of symmetric charging on a three-phase computer network are Tesla Models 3 and Y.
Models S and X will still have higher charging rates up to 8.5kW.
A common question from customers is whether our integration with Tibber will lead to the disappearance of vampires.
We’ve made a lot of changes to make sure we keep the vampire consumption to a minimum, but with smart charging in action on the car, you’ll feel a little consumed due to the way it’s active.
We’re constantly working to reduce the number of connections we make to cars, and also check to see if the car is in “sleep” mode to avoid unnecessarily waking the car.
If you have a built-in charger in our app, try enabling smart charging only on the charger and not on the vehicle. We’ll always retrieve the last battery state when we schedule a charge, but won’t wake the car.
It seems that some Tesla owners have had a negative experience with their vehicle not being able to charge due to strange and somewhat unhelpful error messages.

This month two of EQMM’s most influential and valued contributors passed away. On October 1, the mystery world lost Clark Howard, a five-time winner of EQMM’s Readers Award, an Edgar winner for best short story with five additional Edgar nominations in that category, and a recipient of the Edward D. Hoch Memorial Golden Derringer for Lifetime Achievement from the Short Mystery Fiction Society. Clark was also a noted writer of true or “fact” crime, and was twice nominated for the best-fact-crime Edgar. He had a larger-than-life personality, and he was generous to a fault—treating his editors and friends to elaborate dinners at five-star restaurants on the few occasions when he traveled to mystery events. Clark’s life is chronicled in his autobiography Hard City, published by Dutton in 1990. It’s painful reading: As a boy he was parentless and homeless for a time, concealing himself in a bowling alley before closing each night so he’d have somewhere to sleep. While still a teenager, he served in the Korean War. Out of those tough beginnings he rose to become one of the best short story writers of his generation. He was one of a kind, and a friend to me and everyone else he knew at Dell Magazines.
This morning I signed on to my computer to the news that Ed Gorman, co-founder of Mystery Scene Magazine and one of our field’s most haunting and original writers, had succumbed to a long illness on October 15. Like many in the mystery community, I’ve known Ed for decades and counted him a friend—though I never met him face to face. Ed was shy of large gatherings. It was primarily through phone calls, paper mail, and e-mail that he managed to meet—and help—more writers and editors than we could begin to count. A nominee for the Edgar in both the best-critical and best-short-story categories, he was also 2003’s recipient of the Ellery Queen Award, which is given to editors or publishers for their wide-ranging contributions to the mystery field. Ed’s contributions to EQMM were especially significant: He contributed nearly two-dozen searing stories of dark suspense to our pages; he suggested, and developed, our first Web site; he conceived and was the first author of our Blog Bytes column; and he was an inveterate reader of EQMM who often took the time to write a complimentary letter to us about what he’d enjoyed in an issue. Those letters were such a boost; I will always be grateful that Ed took the time to write them.
This month our field lost two of the greats. May they rest in peace.—Janet Hutchings
Two of the greats, gone too soon, too young, with too many stories left untold. I’m deeply grateful for the many fine stories they DID have time to tell, and for the many professional and personal contributions they made to so many of us.
I have known Ed for about 15 years, and was back then one was of those new authors Ed was incredibly generous toward (as he had been during the whole time I’ve known him). I don’t know how many 1000s of emails we had exchanged since then, but you couldn’t ask for a better friend or meet a nicer person than Ed.
Probably no surprise given his work with Mystery Scene, but Ed had a vast knowledge of the mystery/crime genre, probably matched only by Bill Crider’s, as well as an equally vast knowledge of the Western, sci-fi, and horror genres, and was also masterful in writing in all these genres, both novels and short stories.
We lost not only a hell of a nice guy, but a hell of a writer. Ed will be sorely missed by readers and writers alike.
A fine tribute to two good people. I wonder how many writers, editors, and fans in the mystery world can make the same statement you do: that Ed Gorman was a great friend you never actually met. I certainly can.
Great reead thanks

They retired early, to vast houses that their unlucky spawn will never afford, which they don't even bother to live in because they're off shafting the planet with cheap flights to sun 'n' plonk-drenched global beauty spots, now overrun by silver surfers just like them.
Since 2010, when Mike Bartlett's pointed black comedy about a pair of baby boomers premiered at the Drum Theatre in Plymouth, this perma-tanned generation has been pilloried in the papers for enjoying its pensioned, NHS-prolonged life while the rest of us graft and groan. But it's hard to work up outrage when the baby boomers in question – swinging '60s sweethearts Sandra and Kenneth – have most of the best lines and all of the fun.
Bartlett's comedy shows Sandra and Kenneth's lives in three acts. In the first – set in the summer of 1967 – the spectacularly stoned Sandra wafts into student Ken's life on the arm of his uptight older brother Henry, whom she ruthlessly dumps in the name of 'Love, Love, Love'.
In the second, it's booze, booze, booze as '90s Ken and Sandra, married with two kids in Reading, screw other people, their own relationship and their devastated teens with total abandon. In the third act it's 2011 and their 37-year-old daughter Rosie (Claire Foy), single, childless, and renting in London, turns up to demand not love, but some of their money, money, money.
Bartlett is a big talent and, although its arguments seem less fresh than they did two years ago, his play still sparkles in James Grieve's stylish, sexy production.
Victoria Hamilton is its star: she takes Sandra from hippy-chick 19-year-old to monstrous milf, to radiant retiree with extravagant conviction and an amazing voice full of vice, that oozes fag-smoke, wine and unrepentant pleasure.
She and Ben Miles's Ken are a suburban Taylor and Burton – their love hurts everyone around them but it heats up the stage. Bartlett exaggerates the damage they do to their children, probably to compensate for their charisma, but Rosie's critique of her parents sounds didactic and dull despite its accuracy.
In the final scene you're still rooting for the appalling duo as they float away from the demands of their kidults (for whose misfortunes they cannot be wholly blamed) on a cloud of nostalgia and booze-cruise wine, into their extended personal sunset.
