IMG’s Adam Kelly: sport is the antidote to AI
As Netflix and Apple expand their sports ambitions, the head of IMG says media rights are entering a new phase driven by scarcity, retention and measurable returns

The Trump administration is arguing that requiring real-time American Sign Language interpretation of events like White House press briefings
“would severely intrude on the President’s prerogative to control the image he presents to the public,”
part of a lawsuit seeking to require the White House to provide the services.
Department of Justice attorneys haven’t elaborated on how doing so might hamper the portrayal Trump seeks to present to the public.
But overturning p…

White House says sign language services 'intrude' on Trump's public image
The Trump administration argues that providing real-time American Sign Language interpretation for events like White House press briefings would intrude on the president’s control over his public image. This stance is part of a lawsuit filed by the National Association for the Deaf, which claims the lack of ASL interpretation denies deaf Americans access to important communications. The Justice Department suggests alternatives like online transcripts and closed captioning provide what's neede…

A silent scenery in four acts...
(Selenium-toned[1] 4x6 salt print (still in final wash) plus previous work-in-progress stages... see alt text for details)
The picture/motif itself is one of my personal favorites and was taken 4 years ago in the Alpstein massif, when clouds were spontaneously forming around us, creating a wonderful light/scene/drama and a dear memory... now also as print which likely will/can outlast myself

TDADL-IE: A Deep Learning-Driven Cryptographic Architecture for Medical Image Security
The rise of digital medical imaging, like MRI and CT, demands strong encryption to protect patient data in telemedicine and cloud storage. Chaotic systems are popular for image encryption due to their sensitivity and unique characteristics, but existing methods often lack sufficient security. This paper presents the Three-dimensional Diffusion Algorithm and Deep Learning Image Encryption system (TDADL-IE), built on three key elements. First, we propose an enhanced chaotic generator using an LST…
