Director Zhang Qiang, known for his masterful blend of psychological horror and supernatural elements, has been meticulously crafting the world of "Sinister Curse." With his keen attention to detail and his ability to create a tense and atmospheric ambiance, he is set to deliver a film that will leave a lasting impact on viewers.Taylor Swift has made a surprise stop at a Kansas City children’s hospital, shocking parents and patients alike as she laughed with them, posed for photos and exchanged gifts. All parent Cassie Thomas was told beforehand was that she might want to brush her hair and teeth because there was going to be a special visitor. But she was stunned when Swift, fresh off her Eras Tour and one day before her 35th birthday, walked into her son's room on Thursday at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. “No rumors. Like, we literally had absolutely no idea this was happening,” Thomas recalled. Her 13-year-old son, Beckett Thomas, is a cancer patient and a fan of Swift's Kansas City Chiefs tight-end boyfriend, Travis Kelce. Beckett uses a 3D printer to make earrings bearing his and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes' names, walking around the hospital unit selling them to nurses. Now, Swift has a pair as well. “She was amazing,” Beckett's mom said. “So down to earth.” Another patient told Swift that her favorite song was “Love Story" and they later discussed the song “Paper Rings,” in which Swift sings, “I'd marry you with paper rings.” When their conversation veered to discussion of San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy, whose team played the Chiefs in the Super Bowl earlier this year, Swift expressed surprise. “Brock Purdy, What? I mean, I don’t mind Brock Purdy.” Swift said, then continued: “He put me through a lot last February.” Asked before the Super Bowl whether he was prepared to disappoint Swift, Purdy responded: “Yes.” The game ended with Mahomes rallying the Chiefs to their second straight Super Bowl title, 25-22 over the 49ers in overtime. “I was very stressed for a second but it all ended up fine,” Swift told the girl, their recorded conversation posted online. The girl then chimed in: “I like Travis now.” Swift responded with: “Me too. That’s an absolute yes on that one." There is no word on whether Swift will be in the stands when the Chiefs play the Browns on Sunday in Kelce’s hometown of Cleveland.

A developer’s plan to build on the empty lot at the corner of E 3rd Street and River Drive in downtown Davenport hit a roadblock on Tuesday evening. Davenport City Council denied a tax incentive that would have provided the developers a portion of the city’s hotel-motel taxes for 15 years after it’s completed. The agreement also included an Urban Renewal Tax Exemption, which offers temporary tax breaks on increases in property value resulting from new construction. The vote was voted 5-4-1, but the issue needed 6 votes to pass. At-Large Ald. Jazmine Newton abstained from voting, saying she did not get requested information back in time to fully review it. “At this point in time, I don’t feel that I have sufficient information,” Newton said. If she were to have voted against the proposal, Mayor Mike Matson would had the power to break the tie. Those who voted no were alderpersons Rick and Tim Dunn, Jade Burkholder and Tim Kelly. Alderpersons Marion Meginnis, Ben Jogben, Kyle Gripp, Mhisho Lynch and Paul Reinartz voted in favor. People are also reading... A rendering of a proposed new hotel, restaurant, office space and event center at 227 LeClaire St., Davenport. The agreement primarily focused on the hotel portion of the project though it included both projects. A group of developers, led by Pete Stopulos, have proposed two buildings at 227 LeClaire Street . One is a $19 million, 88-room, four-story Marriott TownePlace Suites Hotel with a pool and rooftop patio. The hotel is designed to be an extended stay hotel with kitchenettes in the rooms. The second building is an $11 million four-story commercial building with a restaurant, two floors of office space and an event center on the top floor. A rendering of a proposed new restaurant and event center at 227 LeClaire St., Davenport. The two buildings will have different owners. For the first 10 years of the tax incentive, the developers would have been rebated 75% of the city’s portion of hotel-motel taxes generated from that specific hotel. In years 11 through 15, half of the taxes generated would be collected. Stopulos said they knew this site was going to be challenge but there is a plan in place. He brought up other developments he had a hand in helping development that faced significant challenges such as The Last Picture House. “These things happen because we make sure we do our developments the right way and that everything is accounted for throughout the process,” Stopulos said. “You got to trust me when I say we do it the right way — the proof is in the pudding.” Stopulos told the Quad-City Times/Dispatch-Argus that they do plan on exploring all other options. “We are resolute in our desire to get this project done,” he said. The lot was once home to the site of a hotel before it was demolished nearly a decade ago and has been used as a parking lot and for staging equipment. An empty lot at LeClaire and Third streets on Tuesday, Oct. 15, in Davenport. Kyle Carter, Downtown Davenport Partnership director, told the Quad-City Times/Dispatch-Argus that there is still an opportunity to work with council to get this done because it is a “welcome mat” to downtown Davenport for people who come here on the riverboat cruises. It’s also rare, he said, that someone comes forward to develop one of the most difficult parcels of land in the city. “I’m hopeful they can find a resolution to get this project done,” Carter said. Rick Dunn, 1st Ward, and Burkholder, 4th Ward, shared concerns about having uncertainty of both buildings being built. “I’m not against the project,” Dunn said. “But we were told that two projects would get done.” Burkholder shared similar sentiments, saying she was having a difficult time with these incentives they are being asked for now that they are two separate projects. No upfront cash incentive was being asked for in the project proposal, and the hotel-motel tax rebate would not have started until after the hotel was built and operating. Paul Reinartz, 8th Ward, voted in favor and said it’s a big mistake to only look at the tax base and that the project would bring in a secondary revenue stream associated with occupancy. People are going to come in, spend money in Davenport’s restaurants, casino and wherever else and that money will come back to the city. At-Large Ald. Kyle Gripp said there is no risk to the city with this project and that if the developer is successful, they are successful. If the developer is unsuccessful, then they either try a different method to develop it or sell to somebody else to take a stab at it. “I think this is a good project and one the city should support,” Gripp said. “I think it makes a lot of sense financially from a tax revenue standpoint and this is a highly visible parcel of land in the city and one that a lot of people kind of measure the progress of the city on.” Community and Economic Director Bruce Berger said the hotel-motel tax is only attributable to the hotel but both projects can apply for the Urban Renewal Tax Exemption. If the second building as proposed doesn’t happen, Berger said, it is possible that something else can be built. The Quad-City Times/Dispatch-Argus previously reported that in the 1980s, environmental work identified as “coal tar” — sludgy material that contained benzene — on the current site of the Quad-City Times building, 500 E. 3rd St., across the street from the proposed development. Dunn and Burkholder also shared concerns with potential contaminants and environmental hazards at the site. According to a city memo about the project, city staff spoke with Mel Pins with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources earlier this month and Pins categorized the site as “garden variety” and that is only has “residual contamination,” based on data previously submitted about the site and the Quad-City Times building site. City staff said liability is of minimal concern if the developers were to encounter any contamination on the site because nothing in the agreement would transfer ownership to the city. Floodwaters from the Mississippi River and other environmental hazards have also posed a challenge for redevelopment. The city was awarded federal funding to raise portions of LeClaire and E. 3rd Street and to improve the intersection adjacent to the project, all which is expected to complicate construction timing, according to the agreement. In response to her colleagues environmental concerns, Mhisho Lynch, 7th Ward, said the environmental facet of the project is no concern to her. “I could not fathom that a project as exuberant as this one, as in your face of downtown Davenport as this one, that the professional firms that are hired to do their jobs are not going to do them,” Lynch said.

OpenAI fired back at billionaire Elon Musk on Friday, publishing a series of emails and texts that the company claims show Musk’s lawsuit against it is misleading. Musk’s legal battle with OpenAI, which has been going on for months now , at its core accuses the company of abandoning its original nonprofit mission to make the fruits of its AI research available to all. Things escalated last month, when Musk’s legal team filed for an injunction to halt OpenAI’s in-progress transition from a nonprofit to a for-profit corporation. OpenAI says Musk’s complaints are baseless — and simply a case of sour grapes. As far back as 2015, Musk floated the idea of an OpenAI with both a nonprofit and for-profit component, the OpenAI-published emails and texts show. OpenAI ultimately launched as a nonprofit, but several years later faced financing challenges. On June 13, 2017, according to the OpenAI-published exchanges, Musk suggested that OpenAI merge with a hardware startup — possibly chip company Cerebras . Several members of OpenAI’s leadership agreed, per the messages, and OpenAI started down a path to what president Greg Brockman called an “AI research + hardware for-profit.” Musk demanded majority equity, OpenAI claims — between 50% and 60%. And he laid out an org structure where he would “unequivocally have initial control of the company” — and be installed its CEO. Musk went so far as to create a public benefit corporation called “Open Artificial Intelligence Technologies, Inc,” registered in Delaware. But OpenAI leadership rejected Musk’s terms. Musk then recommended that OpenAI spin into Tesla, his electric vehicle company, with a $1 billion budget that would “increase exponentially.” OpenAI leadership shot this proposal down, too. It’s at that point, in 2018, that Musk resigned from OpenAI — and largely cut ties with its C-suite. OpenAI claims that it’s offered Musk equity in its for-profit wing on more than one occasion, but that Musk has always declined. “You can’t sue your way to [ artificial general intelligence ,]” OpenAI said in a statement. “We have great respect for Elon’s accomplishments and gratitude for his early contributions to OpenAI, but he should be competing in the marketplace rather than the courtroom.” Musk formed his answer to OpenAI, xAI, last year. Soon after, the company released Grok , an AI model that now powers a number of features on Musk’s social network, X (formerly known as Twitter). xAI also offers an API that allows customers to build Grok into third-party apps, platforms, and services. In a complaint filed late last month, Musk’s attorneys allege OpenAI is depriving xAI of capital by extracting promises from investors not to fund it and the competition. In October, the Financial Times reported that OpenAI demanded investors in its latest funding round abstain from also funding any of OpenAI’s rivals, including xAI. Of course, xAI has had no trouble raising money lately. Last month, the firm closed a $6 billion round reportedly with participation from prominent investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Fidelity. With around $12 billion in the bank, xAI is one of the best-funded AI companies in the world. Musk’s motion for an injunction also alleges that OpenAI and Microsoft, its close collaborator and an investor, illegally share proprietary information and resources. Google reportedly has also called for investigations into Microsoft’s relationship with OpenAI, specifically the two orgs’ cloud computing arrangements. OpenAI is under pressure to complete its for-profit transition quickly. According to Bloomberg, investors in its latest funding round will be able to claw back their cash if OpenAI doesn’t convert from a non-profit within two years.Annabelle Day scores 1,000th career point in North Tonawanda's big winTitle: Mourinho: I Don't Want to See Manchester City Relegated, But I Want Justice & Big Clubs Should Not Escape Punishment
