While the Biden administration continue insisting America is not under attack, multiple intelligence agents have confirmed the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore was a “brilliant strategic attack” targeting US critical infrastructure in an election year.

https://bit.ly/48tkp87 - 🌐 The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is on the brink of furloughing more than 80% of its workforce amidst potential government shutdown, thereby reducing the lead U.S. cyber agency to a minimal staff. This limitation would handicap its ability to respond promptly to cyberattacks on federal agencies and critical infrastructure networks. #CyberSecurity #CISAFurlough 🏛 Despite the looming shutdown, most other Department of Homeland Security employees will continue working, contrasting sharply with the major furlough in CISA. Concerns are high, as the country hasn't thoroughly evaluated the implications of having the chief cyber agency operating at a significantly reduced capacity amidst escalating cyber incidents. #GovernmentShutdown #DHS 🛡 While critical staff within CISA will remain operational, the agency’s broad array of collaboration work and engagements with industry and sector leadership will likely be halted. This pause in operations, although ensuring continued basic security operations, would put proactive cybersecurity efforts on a back burner, leaving the nation more vulnerable to cyber threats. #CyberThreat #NationalSecurity 🚨 In emergencies, agencies can call back personnel, but the shutdown puts CISA and the broader federal government in a precarious position, potentially delaying response to significant cyber incidents. The situation underscores the importance of reevaluating workforce categorizations based on CISA’s growing responsibilities in the national cybersecurity landscape. #EmergencyResponse #CyberIncident 📈 Despite these challenges, CISA, one of the youngest federal agencies, has shown remarkable growth over the recent years, hiring nearly 1,400 people. The agency's ability to attract technical talent, however, may be at risk as potential shutdowns undermine the stability and appeal of government jobs.

News from Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, BC, Canada, 21 July.

The Cedar Farmers Market in Nanaimo, British Columbia has seen an increase in visitors during the pandemic, with roughly 40% of attendees coming weekly or multiple times a month.

The market has attracted both locals and tourists, with local residents coming more frequently. The pandemic has also led to a change in mindset among shoppers, with a greater focus on the origin and quality of products. The market currently operates at Woodbank Elementary School with over 100 vendors, but there are plans to expand and operate year-round in a different location. A recent study led by a professor at the University of Northern B.C. named the Cedar Farmers Market as the top market in the province.

2. Reuse Rendezvous encourages residents to label their unwanted items as "FREE" and share them with others, promoting a more caring and sustainable community.

The event has gained popularity over the years, with approximately one-third of residents participating by either giving away or obtaining useful items.

While the event is intended to promote reuse, a significant amount of unusable waste is left behind when people fail to collect unclaimed items by the designated deadline.

3. The City of Parksville is implementing water restrictions to conserve water and protect critical infrastructure, such as sports fields and the Arboretum.

The reduced watering schedule and limited hours at the Parksville Community Park and water park are aimed at maintaining sanitary conditions while minimizing water usage.

The City is balancing the need to water certain areas, such as memorial trees and the off-leash dog park, with the goal of conserving water and meeting peak demand.

4. B.C.'s wildfire battle is shifting towards more populated southern areas due to hot and windy weather, while cooler temperatures and rain offer some relief in the north.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that homes have been lost to the out-of-control St. Mary's River fire near Cranbrook in southeast B.C.

Despite the arrival of additional firefighters and equipment, more rain is needed to help end the fire season and address the province's drought-level conditions.

5. High-quality air filters, such as HEPA filters, should be required in buildings, experts say, to improve indoor air quality and protect public health.

Poor indoor air quality in office buildings and schools can lead to health issues, absenteeism, decreased productivity, and strained relationships between employees and employers.

Current building codes and standards in Canada do not prioritize high-efficiency

6. The union and the federal mediator failed to reach an agreement, resulting in ongoing labour disputes at B.C. ports.

The brief strike by workers was deemed illegal due to insufficient notice, leading to their return to work.

The government's reluctance to enact back-to-work legislation has created uncertainty as the dispute continues.

Leveraging cutting-edge technology such as X-ray imaging, thermal cameras, and AI-driven algorithms, security inspection systems like SecureScan ensure comprehensive screening of individuals, baggage, and cargo for prohibited items, explosives, and weapons. By deploying these systems at airports, seaports, border crossings, and critical infrastructure facilities, authorities can fortify their defense mechanisms while minimizing disruption to everyday operations. Moreover, integration with biometric identification enhances accuracy and expedites the screening process, bolstering overall efficiency. As security threats continue to evolve, the adoption of advanced security inspection technologies becomes imperative for maintaining public safety and protecting vital assets. #SecurityInspection #Safety #XrayTechnology #ThermalCameras #AI #BiometricIdentification #PublicSafety #CounterTerrorism #ThreatDetection #BorderSecurity #CriticalInfrastructure #RiskManagement #SecurityTechnology #AdvancedScreening #SecuritySolutions

How can crowd behavior analysis help a smart city?

Crowd behavior analysis is a public safety solution that ensures convenience for the user as it supports simultaneous monitoring of multiple CCTVs.

A smart city will invariably need a public safety solution, and crowd behavior analysis can prove to be the best one available. NEC India has developed this public safety solution keeping in mind the convenience of the user.

Securing a high-security zone is possible with the help of this solution which uses video analytics to detect abnormal behaviors such as intrusion, loitering, and object abandonment. The solution uses live camera feeds to detect these abnormal behaviors.

With the number of CCTVs, the required manpower also increases, thereby increasing the costs. However, Crowd Behavior Analysis provides a cost-effective solution as it enables monitoring of live feeds from more than one CCTV simultaneously.

The solution can be helpful for authorities in protecting critical infrastructure like power stations, airports, water treatment plants etc. Illegal entry into hazardous zones can be prevented by keeping a round-the-clock watch.

The system generates an alert for the user if there is something unusual. It enables a user to differentiate between an object and a human. An abandoned object can be identified easily using the system. The Graphic User Interface (GUI) is user-friendly and customizable. It helps the user define rules and scenarios. Features like counting people and speed detection can be added to it.

There is no requirement for special hardware to use the solution. It can also be integrated with existing security systems, and it supports third-party cameras.

The feature of face recognition can be added to the system as an aid to identify a person. NeoFace is a face recognition technology that uses the face as a biometric for identification. The AI-powered technology uses a database of criminals to spot a suspect. The solution can help deter crimes like snatching and burglaries in a smart city.NeoFace Watch is a technology widely used for post-event face recognition.
