SOMMET DES BRICS : « IL EST INACCEPTABLE DE CONTINUER À UTILISER LE FMI ET LA BANQUE MONDIALE POUR PERPÉTUER DES PRATIQUES COLONIALES ». ( #Lavrov)
Contrairement à ces pratiques, la nouvelle Banque de développement des #BRICS se distingue par son innovation et s'attache à tirer parti des efforts des pays membres du groupe pour renforcer leurs économies et améliorer leur bien-être.

Lors de la deuxième session du sommet des BRICS, le ministre russe des Affaires étrangères a affirmé que la grande majorité des pays souhaitaient mettre en œuvre des mécanismes de développement indépendants de l’Occident.

Les pays BRICS sont engagés dans une transformation sans précédent, s'efforçant de bâtir une architecture économique plus stable, fondée sur les principes de transparence et de non-discrimination, garantissant l'égalité d'accès aux opportunités pour tous.

« Il est inacceptable de continuer à utiliser le Fonds monétaire mondial ( #FMI) et la Banque mondiale pour perpétuer des pratiques néocoloniales », a déclaré M. #Lavrov, remettant en question la présence de situations similaires au sein de l'Organisation mondiale du commerce ( #OMC) et appelant à une réforme des institutions de #BrettonWoods.

Il s'est dit convaincu que les institutions émergentes reflètent le véritable équilibre des pouvoirs dans l'économie mondiale. Lors des délibérations du deuxième jour du sommet, la Russie a dénoncé le fait que les pays à faible revenu et à revenu intermédiaire dépensent davantage pour le remboursement de leur dette extérieure que pour leur propre développement, et a averti que cette situation échappait à tout contrôle, même dans certains pays développés.

Il a dénoncé le fait que l’ #Occident subordonne l’octroi de son aide financière à des considérations politiques. À titre d’exemple, il a cité l’octroi de fonds d’« aide militaire » équivalant à 500 % du PIB de l’Ukraine, alors que de nombreux pays africains n’ont pas pu accéder aux recettes nécessaires pour soutenir leurs prévisions de développement.

Contrairement à ces pratiques, il propose que la nouvelle Banque de développement des BRICS se distingue par son innovation et s'attache à tirer parti des efforts des pays membres du groupe pour renforcer leurs économies et améliorer leur bien-être.

Les BRICS contribuent à 48,5 % de la population mondiale, représentent 39 % du PIB, 24 % du commerce extérieur total, 43,6 % de la production de pétrole et des réserves mondiales, et 78,2 % du charbon. Ils excellent également dans la création de technologies alternatives, l'utilisation des nouvelles technologies et la transition numérique.

Al final, la IA lo único que hace es ponernos delante de un espejo virtual que nos devuelve un reflejo deformado. Un reflejo que, más temprano que tarde y sin avisar, va a reventar en tantos pedazos como dólares se está gastando en este delirio colectivo.

On Tuesday, July 1, 2025, African Stream published its final video, a defiant farewell message. With that, the once-thriving pan-African media outlet confirmed it was shutting down for good. Not because it broke the law. Not because it spread disinformation or incited violence. But because it told the wrong story, one that challenged U.S. power in Africa and resonated too deeply with Black audiences around the world. When Secretary of State Antony Blinken accused it of being a Kremlin front, Big Tech didn’t hesitate, and within hours, the platform was erased from nearly every major social media site.

Israel continued its genocidal onslaught on Gaza, with medical sources telling Al Jazeera that at least 30 Palestinians had been killed since dawn on Tuesday.

“It was a sleepless night here in Gaza, marked by an intensification of air attacks and the use of multiple aerial vehicles, including fighter jets, drones and helicopters to pummel residential areas and spaces that had been designated as ‘safe zones’,” Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum reported from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza.

At least nine Palestinians were killed during an Israeli drone attack on a tent sheltering displaced #Palestinians in the al-Mawasi area near Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis.

In a separate dawn attack, two people were killed and others injured in Israeli air raids on the Hakr al-Jami area in Deir el-Balah, the Wafa news agency reported, citing medical sources.

Israeli planes also bombed a school sheltering displaced Palestinians in the Bureij refugee camp in central #Gaza, reportedly killing at least four people.

Understanding Pool Heat Pumps


A pool heat pump is an excellent investment for extending your swimming season and enjoying comfortable water temperatures year-round. However, selecting the right pool heat pump for your pool requires careful consideration of factors like climate, pool size, and energy efficiency. With so many options available, how do you choose the best one for your needs? This guide will help you navigate the decision-making process.

Understanding Pool Heat Pumps
Pool heat pumps work by extracting heat from the surrounding air and transferring it to the pool water. Unlike gas heaters, which generate heat through combustion, heat pumps are more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. They are ideal for maintaining consistent water temperatures, especially in moderate climates.

Key Factors to Consider
1. Climate
Your local climate plays a significant role in determining the type of heat pump you need. Heat pumps rely on ambient air temperature to operate efficiently, so they perform best in regions where temperatures rarely drop below 50°F (10°C). In colder climates, the efficiency of a standard heat pump may decrease, and it may struggle to maintain desired water temperatures.

For cooler regions, consider a cold-climate heat pump, which is specifically designed to operate efficiently in lower temperatures. These models often include features like variable-speed compressors and advanced defrost systems to ensure reliable performance even in chilly weather.

2. Pool Size
The size of your pool is another critical factor. Heat pumps are rated by their BTU (British Thermal Unit) output, which indicates how much heat they can generate. Larger pools require higher BTU ratings to heat the water effectively. To determine the appropriate size, consider the following:

Pool Volume: Calculate your pool’s volume in gallons.

Desired Temperature Rise: Determine how much you need to increase the water temperature, factoring in the average air temperature in your area.

Heating Time: Consider how quickly you want to heat your pool. Faster heating requires a higher BTU rating.

A general rule of thumb is to choose a heat pump with a BTU output that matches your pool’s volume and heating needs. For example, a 100,000 BTU heat pump is suitable for a medium-sized pool, while a 140,000 BTU model may be necessary for a larger pool.

3. Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is a major advantage of pool heat pumps, but some models are more efficient than others. Look for the Coefficient of Performance (COP), which measures how efficiently the heat pump converts electricity into heat. A higher COP indicates better efficiency and lower operating costs.

Additionally, consider heat pumps with features like variable-speed fans or digital controls, which allow you to optimize performance and reduce energy consumption.

4. Installation and Maintenance
Proper installation is crucial for maximizing the performance and lifespan of your heat pump. Ensure the unit is placed in a well-ventilated area with adequate airflow, as restricted airflow can reduce efficiency. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the evaporator coil and checking refrigerant levels, will also help maintain optimal performance.

Conclusion
Choosing the right pool heat pump involves balancing your climate, pool size, and energy efficiency needs. By selecting a model that matches your specific requirements, you can enjoy a comfortably heated pool while minimizing energy costs and environmental impact. Whether you live in a warm or cooler climate, there’s a heat pump designed to meet your needs.

Investing in the right pool heat pump not only enhances your swimming experience but also adds value to your home. With proper research and professional guidance, you can find the perfect heat pump to keep your pool at the ideal temperature all year round.
