Deutsche Bank Appointed as Depositary Bank for the Sponsored American Depositary Receipt Program of Jinxin Technology Holding CompanyORLANDO, Fla. — UCF coach Gus Malzahn is resigning after four seasons with the school. ESPN’s Pete Thamel was the first to report the move, which will see Malzahn to leave to take the offensive coordinator job at Florida State. Malzahn previously worked with FSU coach Mike Norvell during their time at Tulsa under then-coach Todd Graham from 2007-08. The Knights ended a disappointing 4-8 season in which they lost eight of their last nine games, the longest losing streak since 2015. Malzahn, 59, was in the fourth year of a contract through 2028. His buyout, it is reported, would have been $13.75 million. He finished 27-25 at UCF but lost 16 of his last 22 games and was a dismal 4-14 in two seasons in the Big 12. After back-to-back nine-win seasons in 2021-22, the Knights went 6-7 in 2023 and 4-8 in 2024. This season started with high expectations as Malzahn made sweeping changes to the program. He retooled the strength and conditioning department and hired Ted Roof and Tim Harris Jr. as defensive and offensive coordinators, respectively. He also added nearly 50 new players to the roster, leaning heavily on the transfer market. UCF started by winning its first three games against New Hampshire, Sam Houston and a thrilling comeback at TCU, but offensive struggles saw the Knights tumble through a TBD-game losing streak to finish the season. Terry Mohajir hired Malzahn on Feb. 15, 2021, six days after he was hired to replace Danny White. The move came eight weeks after Malzahn had been fired at Auburn after eight seasons of coaching the Tigers. The two briefly worked together at Arkansas State in 2012 before Malzahn left for the Auburn job. “When he [Mohajir] offered the job, I was like, ‘I’m in.’ There wasn’t thinking about or talking about ...,” Malzahn said during his introductory press conference. “This will be one of the best programs in college football in a short time. This is a job that I plan on being here and building it.” UCF opened the 2021 season with non-conference wins over Boise State and Bethune-Cookman before traveling to Louisville on Sept. 17, where quarterback Dillon Gabriel suffered a fractured collarbone in the final minute of a 42-35 loss. Backup Mikey Keene would finish out the season as Gabriel announced his intention to transfer. The Knights would finish the season on the plus side by accepting a bid to join the Big 12 Conference in September and then by defeating Florida 29-17 in the Gasparilla Bowl. Malzahn struck transfer portal gold in the offseason when he signed former Ole Miss quarterback John Rhys Plumlee. Plumlee, a two-sport star with the Rebels, helped guide UCF to the American Athletic Conference Championship in its final season. However, Plumlee’s injury forced the Knights to go with Keene and freshman Thomas Castellanos. The team finished with losses to Tulane in the conference championship and Duke in the Military Bowl. Plumlee would return in 2023 as UCF transitioned to the Big 12 but would go down with a knee injury in the final minute of the Knights’ 18-16 win at Boise State on Sept. 9. He would miss the next four games as backup Timmy McClain took over the team. Even on his return, Plumlee couldn’t help UCF, on a five-game losing streak to open conference play. The Knights got their first Big 12 win at Cincinnati on Nov. 4 and upset No. 15 Oklahoma State the following week, but the team still needed a win over Houston in the regular-season finale to secure a bowl bid for the eighth straight season. From the moment Malzahn stepped on campus, he prioritized recruiting, particularly in Central Florida. “We’re going to recruit like our hair’s on fire,” Malzahn said at the time. “We’re going to go after the best players in America and we’re not backing down to anybody.” From 2007 to 2020, UCF signed 10 four-star high school and junior college prospects. Eight four-star prospects were in the three recruiting classes signed under Malzahn. The 2024 recruiting class earned a composite ranking of 39 from 247Sports, the highest-ranked class in school history. The 2025 recruiting class is ranked No. 41 and has commitments from three four-star prospects. Malzahn has always leaned on the transfer market, signing 60 players over the past three seasons. Some have paid huge dividends, such as Javon Baker, Lee Hunter, Kobe Hudson, Tylan Grable, Bula Schmidt, Amari Kight, Marcellus Marshall, Trent Whittemore, Gage King, Ethan Barr, Deshawn Pace and Plumlee. Others haven’t been as successful, such as quarterback KJ Jefferson, who started the first five games of this season before being benched for poor performance. Jefferson’s struggles forced the Knights to play musical chairs at quarterback, with true freshman EJ Colson, redshirt sophomore Jacurri Brown and redshirt freshman Dylan Rizk all seeing action at one point or another this season. This season’s struggles led to several players utilizing the NCAA’s redshirt rule after four games, including starting slot receiver Xavier Townsend and kicker Colton Boomer, who have also entered the transfer portal. Defensive end Kaven Call posted a letter to Malzahn on Twitter in which he accused the UCF coaching staff of recently kicking him off the team when he requested to be redshirted. ©2024 Orlando Sentinel.

An open letter from Elia Locardi and Team Radiant Photo to the photography community. Presets—love them or hate them—have long been a staple in every photographer's toolkit. However, let's be honest: they often don't work as advertised. They can be static and inflexible, failing to account for the uniqueness and style of your photos. As a photographer, I can't count the number of hours I've spent adjusting sliders after applying a preset that just didn't fit. It's frustrating, time-consuming, and often feels like a compromise. That's why my team and I, all professional photographers, set out to address this issue with . Presets are often marketed as a convenient way to achieve stunning photos, but the reality can be quite different. These presets are designed for someone else's photos—not yours. They don’t adjust to your specific lighting, tones, or artistic vision. When you apply them, you may find yourself caught in a cycle of adjustments to fix what was meant to save you time. We understand this frustration, which inspired us to create a better solution. As photographers, my partners and I recognized the need for improvement—not just for ourselves but for the entire photography community. That's why we developed and Develop Settings, powered by our Assistive AI technology. This isn't just another AI tool. Unlike traditional presets, Radiant Photo 2 doesn’t simply apply a filter or LUT to your photo and hope for the best. Instead, it intelligently analyzes the image, understands its unique characteristics, and delivers edits tailored to your preferences. It's fast, effective, and, most importantly, designed to honor your creative intent. The best part? Everything runs locally. There are no cloud uploads and no data mining. Your photos, metadata, and intellectual property stay exactly where they belong—with you. We're not just another software company; we are photographers first. After years spent behind the camera, we have experienced the same frustrations and challenges you face. We understand the disappointment of using tools that overpromise and underdeliver. This personal connection is what sets us apart and motivates us to create tools that genuinely benefit the photography community. That’s why Radiant Photo 2 was developed with one goal in mind: to provide tools that make life easier for photographers without compromising their creative control or data. Unlike many large companies in this space, we’re not interested in mining your images for data or selling you unnecessary features. Our mission is simple: to help your photos shine. There’s no denying the excitement surrounding generative AI. It has the ability to create stunning effects and even generate entirely new pixels. However, as photographers, we must consider the ethical questions it raises. When software begins to generate pixels that never existed, can we still call it photography? We also need to discuss privacy. Many generative AI tools require users to upload their images to the cloud, which can expose their work to potential misuse. As creators ourselves, we cannot accept this risk. keeps everything local because protecting your intellectual property is not just a feature for us; it’s a promise we take very seriously. Assistive AI is designed not to replace your creativity but to enhance it. Our goal in developing was to create tools that assist you in doing your best work more efficiently and with less frustration. This isn’t about taking shortcuts; instead, it's about honoring the art of photography while providing you with the means to bring your vision to life. What do you think? Are traditional presets becoming obsolete? Is generative AI redefining the essence of photography? Or are tools like Assistive AI the future of editing, finding the ideal balance between technology and artistry? Regardless of your opinion, we all agree on one key point: photography is an art form that deserves tools created with care by those who truly understand it. All of us at Team Radiant would love to hear your thoughts—please join the conversation in the comments below or on our community page at . Elia Locardi is a renowned photographer whose stunning images appear in National Geographic and other major publications. With 20+ years of experience across 70 countries, he's collaborated with Instagram, Google, and other leading brands. In 2022, he co-founded Radiant Imaging Labs, creating AI-powered photo editing software.

As TikTok bill steams forward, online influencers put on their lobbying hats to visit Washington

It looked like a recipe for disaster. So, when his country's swimmers were being accused of doping earlier this year, one Chinese official cooked up something fast. He blamed it on contaminated noodles. In fact, he argued, it could have been a culinary conspiracy concocted by criminals, whose actions led to the cooking wine used to prepare the noodles being laced with a banned heart drug that found its way into an athlete's system. This theory was spelled out to international anti-doping officials during a meeting and, after weeks of wrangling, finally made it into the thousands of pages of data handed over to the lawyer who investigated the who had tested positive for that same drug. The attorney, appointed by the World Anti-Doping Agency, refused to consider that scenario as he sifted through the evidence. In spelling out his reasoning, lawyer Eric Cottier paid heed to the half-baked nature of the theory. “The Investigator considers this scenario, which he has described in the conditional tense, to be possible, no less, no more,” Cottier wrote. Even without the contaminated-noodles theory, Cottier found problems with the way WADA and the Chinese handled the case but ultimately determined WADA in not appealing China's conclusion that its athletes had been inadvertently contaminated. Critics of the way the China case was handled can't help but wonder if a wider exploration of the noodle theory, details of which were discovered by The Associated Press via notes and emails from after the meeting where it was delivered, might have lent a different flavor to Cottier's conclusions. “There are more story twists to the ways the Chinese explain the TMZ case than a James Bond movie,” said Rob Koehler, the director general of the advocacy group Global Athlete. "And all of it is complete fiction.” In April, reporting from the New York Times and the German broadcaster ARD revealed that the 23 Chinese swimmers had tested positive for the banned heart medication trimetazidine, also known as TMZ. China's anti-doping agency determined the athletes had been contaminated, and so, did not sanction them. , did not press the case further, and China was never made to deliver a public notice about the “no-fault findings,” as is often seen in similar cases. The stock explanation for the contamination was that traces of TMZ were found in the kitchen of a hotel where the swimmers were staying. In , Cottier relayed some suspicions about the feasibility of that chain of events — noting that WADA's chief scientist “saw no other solution than to accept it, even if he continued to have doubts about the reality of contamination as described by the Chinese authorities.” But without evidence to support pursuing the case, and with the chance of winning an appeal at almost nil, Cottier determined WADA's “decision not to appeal appears indisputably reasonable.” A mystery remained: How did those traces of TMZ get into the kitchen? Shortly after the doping positives were revealed, the Institute of National Anti-Doping Organizations held a meeting on April 30 where it heard from the leader of China's agency, Li Zhiquan. Li's presentation was mostly filled with the same talking points that have been delivered throughout the saga — that the positive tests resulted from contamination from the kitchen. But he expanded on one way the kitchen might have become contaminated, harkening to another case in China involving a low-level TMZ positive. A pharmaceutical factory, he explained, had used industrial alcohol in the distillation process for producing TMZ. The industrial alcohol laced with the drug “then entered the market through illegal channels,” he said. The alcohol "was re-used by the perpetrators to process and produce cooking wine, which is an important seasoning used locally to make beef noodles,” Li said. “The contaminated beef noodles were consumed by that athlete, resulting in an extremely low concentration of TMZ in the positive sample. "The wrongdoers involved have been brought to justice.” This new information raised eyebrows among the anti-doping leaders listening to Li's report. So much so that over the next month, several emails ensued to make sure the details about the noodles and wine made their way to WADA lawyers, who could then pass it onto Cottier. Eventually, Li did pass on the information to WADA general counsel Ross Wenzel and, just to be sure, one of the anti-doping leaders forwarded it, as well, according to the emails seen by the AP. All this came with Li's request that the noodles story be kept confidential. Turns out, it made it into Cottier's report, though he took the information with a grain of salt. “Indeed, giving it more attention would have required it to be documented, then scientifically verified and validated,” he wrote. Neither Wenzel nor officials at the Chinese anti-doping agency returned messages from AP asking about the noodles conspiracy and the other athlete who Li suggested had been contaminated by them. Meanwhile, 11 of the swimmers who originally tested positive competed at the Paris Games earlier this year in a meet held under the cloud of the Chinese doping case. Though WADA considers the case closed, Koehler and others point to situations like this as one of many reasons that an investigation by someone other than Cottier, who was hired by WADA, is still needed. “It gives the appearance that people are just making things up as they go along on this, and hoping the story just goes away," Koehler said. “Which clearly it has not.” AP Olympics:DENVER (AP) — Amid renewed interest in the killing of JonBenet Ramsey triggered in part by a new Netflix documentary, police in Boulder, Colorado, refuted assertions this week that there is viable evidence and leads about the 1996 killing of the 6-year-old girl that they are not pursuing. JonBenet Ramsey, who competed in beauty pageants, was found dead in the basement of her family’s home in the college town of Boulder the day after Christmas in 1996. Her body was found several hours after her mother called 911 to say her daughter was missing and a ransom note had been left behind. The details of the crime and video footage of JonBenet competing in pageants propelled the case into one of the highest-profile mysteries in the United States. The police comments came as part of their annual update on the investigation, a month before the 28th anniversary of JonBenet’s killing. Police said they released it a little earlier due to the increased attention on the case, apparently referring to the three-part Netflix series “Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey.” In a video statement, Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn said the department welcomes news coverage and documentaries about the killing of JonBenet, who would have been 34 this year, as a way to generate possible new leads. He said the department is committed to solving the case but needs to be careful about what it shares about the investigation to protect a possible future prosecution. “What I can tell you though, is we have thoroughly investigated multiple people as suspects throughout the years and we continue to be open-minded about what occurred as we investigate the tips that come into detectives," he said. The Netflix documentary focuses on the mistakes made by police and the “media circus” surrounding the case. JonBenet was bludgeoned and strangled. Her death was ruled a homicide, but nobody was ever prosecuted. Police were widely criticized for mishandling the early investigation into her death amid speculation that her family was responsible. However, a prosecutor cleared her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, and brother Burke in 2008 based on new DNA evidence from JonBenet's clothing that pointed to the involvement of an “unexplained third party” in her slaying. The announcement by former district attorney Mary Lacy came two years after Patsy Ramsey died of cancer. Lacy called the Ramseys “victims of this crime.” John Ramsey has continued to speak out for the case to be solved. In 2022, he supported an online petition asking Colorado’s governor to intervene in the investigation by putting an outside agency in charge of DNA testing in the case. In the Netflix documentary, he said he has been advocating for several items that have not been prepared for DNA testing to be tested and for other items to be retested. He said the results should be put through a genealogy database. In recent years, investigators have identified suspects in unsolved cases by comparing DNA profiles from crime scenes and to DNA testing results shared online by people researching their family trees. In 2021, police said in their annual update that DNA hadn’t been ruled out to help solve the case, and in 2022 noted that some evidence could be “consumed” if DNA testing is done on it. Last year, police said they convened a panel of outside experts to review the investigation to give recommendations and determine if updated technologies or forensic testing might produce new leads. In the latest update, Redfearn said that review had ended but that police continue to work through and evaluate a “lengthy list of recommendations” from the panel. Amy Beth Hanson contributed to this report from Helena, Montana.

NoneWATERBURY – Jenna Riccio introduced her husband Tim to the Danish concept of hygge – creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people. Tim Riccio said his family – son Nate, now 12, and daughter Julien, 2 – experienced hygge in their home recently when they were all playing with leftover birthday party balloons, laughing as they did their best to keep the helium-filled orbs from touching the ground. It’s been nearly two years to the day since Jenna and Tim, teachers at Walsh Elementary School, drew national attention from The Washington Post, ABC News, People, not to mention nearly every media outlet in Connecticut, when they adopted Nate, then a fifth-grader at the school. At the time, the Riccios, who fell in love with Nate’s infectious personality, were concerned that Nate wasn’t receiving the care he needed for his sickle cell anemia. When he was younger, Nate had both legs amputated below the knee, as well as his left arm and some of the fingers on his right hand, due to complications from his condition. He also has liver and kidney problems, and requires appointments with specialists in hematology, oncology, hematology, nephrology, gastroenterology, orthopedics and prosthetics. But there was such optimism and joy when Nate was adopted that none of that mattered; hence the widespread media attention. Fast forward to the Saturday before Thanksgiving 2024, and the only thing that’s changed is Nate and his little sister, Julien, have gotten taller and, if anything, the family has gotten even stronger. “I thought it would be a really fun, happy, special moment, either way, but I didn’t think it would go everywhere,” Nate said. “It’s going really great. We’re all happy. We’ve been having a really fun time, all of us, and I’m glad that we could be together as a family, and I’m happy that I found a family.” Jenna Riccio agreed. “It’s been amazing,” she said. “I definitely never thought all those people would care so much about our story.” Nate is no longer at Walsh. He’s a seventh-grader at Waterbury Arts Magnet School, where he’s a thriving student with an A average in every class but one. (He’s carrying a B+ average in language arts.) His teachers all commented on the effort he puts in. “That’s my favorite part,” Jenna said. “When I met him as a student in first grade, I always tell my students, work hard and be nice. And if you could do those things, everything else will fall into place.” Nate’s still pursuing his passion for acting. He’s auditioning for two shows, including “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.” “I love theater,” he said. “Theater has been my main thing in school.” Save for his growth spurt, he’s still the same warm, kind kid with the infectious personality that you can’t help but to want to be around. He loves his teachers. He loves going to gym class. He adores his parents and his little sister. The feeling is mutual – Julien often has to be pried from Nate’s room in their Waterbury home. “It’s great, I love it,” he said of having a younger sibling. “I love having a little sister. When we had the gender reveal, I actually wore pink because I really wanted a little sister since I already had an older brother.” Nate stays in touch with his brother, Giovhany Mondestin, 24, who will be joining the them for Thanksgiving dinner today. The family makes frequent sojourns to the Silas Bronson Library. They went on vacation to Jamaica. They celebrate holidays – Nate wants Percy Jackson books, a basketball video game, a yo-yo and a Rubik’s Cube for Christmas. He goes to the Paul Newman’s Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, where, much to his parents’ chagrin, he rock climbs and zip lines. He recently emceed the organization’s 33rd annual Big Apple Bash at Tavern on the Green. “The Hole in the Wall is so important to me because of everything that they have done for kids like me,” he said. “When you’re there, you’re not only having fun, but you’re with kids like yourself. Camp also lets you feel free and alive from the second you wake up until you go to bed. I love camping, everything that they do for kids and families.” Two years after his adoption, Nate is a stellar student, actor, athlete, friend, brother and son. Most of all Nate, apropos of the holiday, is thankful. Thankful for his family, as they are for him. Two years since his adoption, Nate has been a Riccio. He will be forever.

TEHRAN –A delegation of Iranian knowledge-based companies will participate in the 24th International Nanotechnology Exhibition & Conference (nano tech 2025) which is scheduled to be held from January 29 to 31 in Tokyo, Japan. Supported by the Headquarters for the Development of Nano-technology and the Organization for Development of International Cooperation in Science and Technology, knowledge-based companies will showcase their latest achievements in various industrial areas such as nanomaterials, nano-devices, nanostructures, nanostructures’ measurement and analysis, convergence of nanotechnology in advanced industries and functional products, ISNA reported. With the theme of ‘Bridge to Future Business: Innovating Nanotechnology’, the event is a place where innovative materials and next-generation devices are gathered to explore the implementation of future technologies in society based on nanotechnology, an important common base technology for research and development. According to the latest statistics, Iran’s nano-tech products are exported to 48 countries worldwide. The first five export destinations are Iraq, Afghanistan, Russia, Turkey, and Georgia, accounting for some 80 percent of exports, Mehr quoted Emad Ahmadvand, an official with the vice presidency for science and technology, as saying. A total of 1808 nano-tech products have so far been produced and marketed in 15 different industrial fields based on domestic technologies in the current Iranian calendar year that ends on March 20. Based on the survey, the total sale of nano-tech products made in Iran is calculated to be more than 300 trillion rials (around $600m), Ahmadvand pointed out. The market’s total value is equal to 1.125 billion dollars, with nano-tech products exports accounting for 69 million dollars representing six percent of the entire market value. Last year, the best-selling products were sanitary faucets, oil and gas nano-catalysts, automotive nano-catalysts, construction and decorative tiles, and optoelectronic products, respectively. The industrial fields of construction; automobile and transportation; oil, gas, and petrochemical had the largest share of the market, respectively. Iran’s achievements in nanotechnology are noteworthy. The increase in scientific publications and sales of nano products proves Iran’s rise as a global leader in this field. One of the industries that have experienced good growth in Iran in recent years is the nanotechnology industry, a subject area that has brought Iran to the impressive fourth place worldwide. According to StatNano, a leading nanotechnology website, Iran has made great strides in the field of nanotechnology being ranked fourth in terms of nanotechnology publication. This ranking proves the country’s remarkable scientific development. The site considers the number of scientific articles to compare scientific progress in nanoscience, technology, and industry.

DENVER (AP) — Amid renewed interest in the killing of JonBenet Ramsey triggered in part by a new Netflix documentary, police in Boulder, Colorado, refuted assertions this week that there is viable evidence and leads about the 1996 killing of the 6-year-old girl that they are not pursuing. JonBenet Ramsey, who competed in beauty pageants, was found dead in the basement of her family’s home in the college town of Boulder the day after Christmas in 1996. Her body was found several hours after her mother called 911 to say her daughter was missing and a ransom note had been left behind. The details of the crime and video footage of JonBenet competing in pageants propelled the case into one of the highest-profile mysteries in the United States. The police comments came as part of their annual update on the investigation, a month before the 28th anniversary of JonBenet’s killing. Police said they released it a little earlier due to the increased attention on the case, apparently referring to the three-part Netflix series “Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey.” In a video statement, Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn said the department welcomes news coverage and documentaries about the killing of JonBenet, who would have been 34 this year, as a way to generate possible new leads. He said the department is committed to solving the case but needs to be careful about what it shares about the investigation to protect a possible future prosecution. “What I can tell you though, is we have thoroughly investigated multiple people as suspects throughout the years and we continue to be open-minded about what occurred as we investigate the tips that come into detectives," he said. The Netflix documentary focuses on the mistakes made by police and the “media circus” surrounding the case. JonBenet was bludgeoned and strangled. Her death was ruled a homicide, but nobody was ever prosecuted. Police were widely criticized for mishandling the early investigation into her death amid speculation that her family was responsible. However, a prosecutor cleared her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, and brother Burke in 2008 based on new DNA evidence from JonBenet's clothing that pointed to the involvement of an “unexplained third party” in her slaying. The announcement by former district attorney Mary Lacy came two years after Patsy Ramsey died of cancer. Lacy called the Ramseys “victims of this crime.” John Ramsey has continued to speak out for the case to be solved. In 2022, he supported an online petition asking Colorado’s governor to intervene in the investigation by putting an outside agency in charge of DNA testing in the case. In the Netflix documentary, he said he has been advocating for several items that have not been prepared for DNA testing to be tested and for other items to be retested. He said the results should be put through a genealogy database. In recent years, investigators have identified suspects in unsolved cases by comparing DNA profiles from crime scenes and to DNA testing results shared online by people researching their family trees. In 2021, police said in their annual update that DNA hadn’t been ruled out to help solve the case, and in 2022 noted that some evidence could be “consumed” if DNA testing is done on it. Last year, police said they convened a panel of outside experts to review the investigation to give recommendations and determine if updated technologies or forensic testing might produce new leads. In the latest update, Redfearn said that review had ended but that police continue to work through and evaluate a “lengthy list of recommendations” from the panel.
