Israeli occupation forces detained Nasser al-Lahham, Al Mayadeen’s bureau chief in occupied Palestine, in a pre-dawn incursion into his home in Beit Lahm, southern West Bank.
The Israeli security service, Shin Bet, was directly responsible for the detention, which specifically targeted al-Lahham’s personal broadcasting studio in search of electronic equipment and media devices linked to his journalistic work.
Encampment by encampment, Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem are asserting control over vast areas previously inhabited by Bedouin communities and livestock herders.
Roughly a month after the displacement of the “Mughayyir al-Deir” community east of Ramallah, and less than a week after the expulsion of “Arab al-Malihyat” the wave of expulsions has now reached occupied Jerusalem.

A BBC journalist was left fuming as the corporation was found to have ignored the scandal of British spy planes being deployed over Gaza.
The National, in conjunction with the investigative website Declassified UK, this week published an expose of the failure of the mainstream media to look into RAF planes being deployed over the besieged territory.

The nation state system, Western conceptions of property rights, and the theater we call "rule of law" are all reaching their logical ends.
They were all just Colonialism 2.0 and the whole inane system is slowly being crushed under its own weight.
We need a detailed proposal for what a post-nation state could look like.
Particular attention must be paid to how systems that sustain civilization can be picked up & transformed with as little damage as possible as the systems of yesterday perish.
This might sound unhinged to many; after all, imagination around other systems, other ways of being, and other types of civilizations, other ways of doing trade and sustaining life, those are all things we are taught not to think about or take seriously, and communities who practice alternatives are have always been ignored when possible, or met with violence.
The most unhinged systems are the ones we exist in today, normalized because we are just fish in the waters of our suicidal system.

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.

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.

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.
