China ready to go deeper into debt to counter Trump’s tariffs

(The Center Square) - The Spokane City Council adopted its 2025 Rules of Procedure on Monday, amending several changes that the conservative minority believed would silence their downtown constituents. Councilmember Michael Cathcart, who sits among the minority with Councilmember Jonathan Bingle, said he anticipated voting against the rules when he walked into city hall; however, after a long, diplomatic conversation with his peers, all seven voted unanimously in support. While initially drafted by the progressive majority, which routinely rules against the minority, the council proposed 14 amendments, 12 of which came from the conservatives. Ultimately, the governing body set aside policy and ideological differences for the sake of their constituency. “I just want to say it’s an honor to be on this side of the 5-2,” Bingle said after some of the majority joined him and Cathcart to approve one of the eight amendments passed. Tensions grew leading up to Monday as the community caught word of the initial proposal that would limit public testimony to two minutes, require three sponsors to move legislation out of committee for a vote and move council meetings to Tuesday instead of Monday. Cathcart and Bingle argued last week that the changes, among others regarding decorum, council commentary and more, would silence their dissent. Both represent District 1, which encompasses downtown and some of the most impoverished areas in Spokane. District 1 often faces the brunt of the homelessness crisis and related crime. The conservatives have attempted to push legislation emphasizing enforcement and other reforms, but the measures usually fail, with Bingle and Cathcart dissenting from the progressive majority. “You can make arguments that these procedural changes are different than what you experienced at STA,” resident Erik Lowe wrote in testimony, “but to outside observers, it is the same: trickery to prevent dissenting voices on the council from being heard.” Lowe said he initially got involved with the Spokane Transit Authority because of attempts from conservatives to silence the progressives from the council who sit on the STA board; now the tables have flipped, and he said the majority has a duty to protect the right to fair representation. Requiring three sponsors would prevent District 1 from pushing legislation that affects their constituents without the support of another. Bingle has also never been able to attend Tuesday meetings due to a scheduling conflict, limiting the ability to represent his constituency. “I cannot tell you the amount of emails I got that were like, ‘Listen, we will never vote for you, but we think it’s important that your voice is heard,’” Bingle said. While the council ultimately passed the amendments to preserve public testimony, Monday meetings and the requirement for two sponsors instead of three, the public came prepared. Community members filled the council chambers on Monday, even late into the evening, before adjourning close to midnight. One group that goes by Save Our Spokane, or SOS, put together a rally and protest leading up to the vote, even gaining support from residents who often disagree with conservatives. The message from each was clear: protect the right to dissent. Resident H.T. Higgins, who donated to Mayor Lisa Brown’s 2023 campaign but then paid for billboards criticizing her, was among those in attendance. While an advocate for the homeless, who are often at odds with District 1, he noted the importance of a fair playing field. He said the initial changes seemed like actions to fortify what he called a “blue silo.” Higgins also referenced the Board of County Commissioners’ conservative majority standing as the opposing red silo, adding that neither should stand for silencing the voice of the minority. “After watching briefing sessions and legislative meetings for the last eight months, it’s very clear to me that the public input has no value,” Higgins told the council. “We all know the decisions to bring legislation forward come from the connected and usually political donors of both parties. In the city of Spokane, that means you better have enough money or connection to get into the mayor’s office; the leader of the blue silo is what I would say."

MARPAI ANNOUNCES GENERAL UPDATES FOR Q4

A ninth U.S. telecom firm has been confirmed to have been hacked as part of a sprawling Chinese espionage campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans, a top White House official said Friday. Biden administration officials said this month that at least eight telecommunications companies , as well as dozens of nations, had been affected by the Chinese hacking blitz known as Salt Typhoon. But Anne Neuberger, the deputy national security adviser for cyber and emerging technologies, told reporters Friday that a ninth victim had been identified after the administration released guidance to companies about how to hunt for Chinese culprits in their networks. The update from Neuberger is the latest development in a massive hacking operation that has alarmed national security officials, exposed cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the private sector and laid bare China’s hacking sophistication. The hackers compromised the networks of telecommunications companies to obtain customer call records and gain access to the private communications of “a limited number of individuals.” Though the FBI has not publicly identified any of the victims, officials believe senior U.S. government officials and prominent political figures are among those whose whose communications were accessed. Neuberger said officials did not yet have a precise sense how many Americans overall were affected by Salt Typhoon, in part because the Chinese were careful about their techniques, but a “large number” were in the Washington-Virginia area. Officials believe the goal of the hackers was to identify who owned the phones and, if they were “government targets of interest,” spy on their texts and phone calls, she said. The FBI said most of the people targeted by the hackers are “primarily involved in government or political activity.” Neuberger said the episode highlighted the need for required cybersecurity practices in the telecommunications industry, something the Federal Communications Commission is to take up at a meeting next month. “We know that voluntary cyber security practices are inadequate to protect against China, Russia and Iran hacking of our critical infrastructure,” she said. The Chinese government has denied responsibility for the hacking. -- Eric Tucker, The Associated PressZurcher Kantonalbank Zurich Cantonalbank lessened its stake in shares of Hilton Grand Vacations Inc.

Ian Schieffelin, Clemson topple Penn State to win Sunshine SlamWhen you live on a farm in a small village, you have to rely on neighbours to tell you if any of your livestock has escaped. But that's no longer a problem now that we've got a Tapo floodlight camera and video doorbell, which will notify us of any four-legged fugitives. Using smart AI detection, the technology is able to distinguish between man, car and beast. Lately, the have been behaving and it's largely humans that are picked up on the cameras overlooking the working yard. Obviously, it goes without saying that the main benefit of the system is to safeguard against intruders, but the fact that it has other benefits for us is win-win. First off, let's talk about the floodlight camera. My partner tells me it was easy to put up thanks to an "installation bubble" that made it simple to make sure it was straight. Tapo C720's powerful, fully adjustable 2800-lumen ultra bright floodlight and color night vision sees up to 30 feet away, so you can sleep soundly knowing your surroundings are safe. Its high-definition 2K QHD live view also means there are no blind spots, only sharp details with a 150° field of view. With hawk-like precision in darkness, C720 detects transient motions, activating a floodlight over a sweeping 270° area. From setting schedules to adjusting brightness and activation triggers, the Tapo app is a one-stop shop for smart floodlight customisation. Smart AI tells moving people, pets, and cars apart, silencing false alarms and keeping your inbox clear of irrelevant activity notifications. You can record a custom warning or sound a high-pitched alarm to scare off intruders the moment motion is detected - or try and sweet talk the animals back to their pens. You can also get instant alerts when something happens in your customised activity zones. Footage can be saved and stored locally on a microSD card* (up to 512 GB) or recordings can be accessed anytime, anywhere with Tapo Care cloud storage. And if you're worried about the great British weather, the camera has been designed to braves the elements, rain or shine. This was recently put to the test when it withstood the might of Storms Ashley, Bert, Conall and Darragh. The v takes pride of place at the front of the farmhouse, while the aforementioned security light camera covers the tradesman's entrance - where most of the activity is. Effectively, in our household this means I deal with people that come to the front door while my partner deals with the back. My door is usually the Amazon delivery driver (only now my parcels fall under the watchful eye of the camera - and therefore, my other half). But one of the benefits for me is that I can speak to the person at the door without having to leave my chair - which is great if you work from home - and also great for telling unwanted visitors to do one via a two way audio system with premium mic and speakers. The doorbell comes with a ring chime included. Like the floodlight, there's also a subscription-free option where you can choose between a microSD card or Tapo Care cloud services. Much like the floodlight camera, it was very easy to set up (so I'm told). It can be used with a 210-battery or wired (10000mAh battery or 8-24V hardwired, 10VA minimum transformer, supports pre-roll when hardwired) and boasts 2K 5MP clarity to hone in on the finer details. The 180° ultra-wide view captures everything from head-to-toe. And the vivid night vision with spotlight offers great visibility as well as providing peace of mind over security. Like the tradesman's entrance, there are alerts to distinguish between a person, vehicle, pet or package. It's also weatherproof and SC card compatible. The camera clarity is great, sound is smooth and even links easily with Home Assistant for monitoring in 'always-on mode'.
