"In drought-stricken areas, communities facing water shortages, or even in residential and commercial buildings eager to improve their environmental footprints, atmospheric water generators represent a new frontier in water production.
While it might sound like a tidbit from a science fiction movie, even the driest places on earth have moisture in the air that can be extracted and used for everyday necessities like plumbing and drinking. 
Unlike traditional dehumidifiers, which also pull moisture from the air, AWGs utilize filtration and sterilization technology to make water safe to drink. 
And while there are plenty of AWG companies out there — and the science itself isn’t novel — AWGs are becoming more efficient, affordable, and revolutionary in combating water scarcity in a myriad of communities.
Aquaria Technologies, a San Francisco-based AWG startup, was founded in 2022 to help provide affordable and clean drinking water in areas most affected by climate change. 
Using heat exchange and condensation, Aquaria’s generators draw air into their systems, cool that air below its dew point, and as it condenses, capture that water and filter it for consumption. 
As the cycle continues, the generator’s refrigerant vaporizes and goes through a process that cools it back into a liquid, meaning the heat transfer cycle repeats continuously in an energy-efficient and self-sustaining system.
“I’m sure you’ve had the experience in the summer, you take a glass of a cold drink out of the fridge and then water droplets form on the side of the bottle,” Aquaria’s co-founder and CEO Brian Sheng, said in a podcast episode. “That’s actually condensation.”
Sheng continued: “The question is, how do we create condensation? How do we extract water out of the air in large volume and using little energy? That’s what our technology does. We have created both active and passive cooling methods where we use special materials, and we’ve created heat exchange and recovery systems and airflow design, such that we’re maximizing heat exchange, and then we’re able to extract large volumes of water.”
Aquaria has created a number of generators, but its stand-alone model — the Hydropack X — can replace an entire home’s dependence on municipal water, producing as much as 264 gallons of potable water per day. 
Other models, like the Hydrostation, can provide water for up to 1,500 people at parks, construction sites, or other outdoor public areas. The Hydropixel can make 24 gallons of water per day for a seamless at-home application, requiring a simple outlet for power. 
“Atmospheric water generators present a groundbreaking solution to the global challenge of clean water scarcity, leveraging the humidity present in the air to produce potable water,” the company’s website explains.
“This technology is versatile, functioning efficiently across diverse climates — from arid regions to tropical settings. From rural communities in developing countries to advanced cities facing unexpected droughts, atmospheric water generators have a wide range of applications… transforming lives and providing secure, clean water sources.”
Considering an estimated 2.2 billion people lack access to clean water globally — including in American cities like Flint, Michigan, or Modesto, California — innovative solutions like AWGs are vital to maintaining the basic human right to clean water. 
The World Economic Forum has begun to dip its toes into this technology as well, implementing public and private partnerships to introduce AWG units in Arizona’s Navajo Nation, where the machines produce about 200 gallons of clean water per day.
“When combined with an appropriate level of community engagement and triple-bottom-line business (people, planet, profit),” a blog post for WE Forum said, “this model can be a powerful stopgap solution where few exist today.”
Similarly, according to New Atlas, Aquaria has a partnership with developers to supply its technology to a 1,000-home community in Hawaii later this year, relying entirely on atmospherically generated water.
The company also has a “Frontier Access Program,” which partners with water-related NGOs, community project developers, and sustainable development groups to deploy this technology in areas most in need.
Regardless of their use cases — in homes, in communities facing water shortages, or at aid sites navigating natural disasters — AWGs have a minimal environmental impact. Sourcing water “from thin air,” requires no plastic bottles, no large-scale plants using up loads of energy, and no byproducts that can harm the environment."

[ 📹 Scenes of horror and chaos after the Israeli occupation forces bombed a field hospital located inside the Khadija School housing displaced Palestinian families in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, killing at least 31 civilians, including women and children, and wounding dozens of others. The bombed area had previously been designated a "humanitarian safe zone". ]
🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸 🚀🏘️💥🚑 🚨
295 DAYS OF MASS MURDER: HAMAS REJECTS ATTEMPTED CHANGES TO TRUCE AND HOSTAGE EXCHANGE PROPOSAL BY ISRAELI OCCUPATION, 180'000 PALESTINIANS DISPLACED FROM KHAN YUNIS IN JUST 4 DAYS, NEARLY 200 UNITED NATIONS WORKERS KILLED SINCE OCT. 7TH, ISRAELI OCCUPATION FORCES MASSACRE DISPLACED CIVILIANS IN BOMBING OF SCHOOL, ALSO BOMBS FIELD HOSPITAL AS GENOCIDE CONTINUES
On 295th day of the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed a total of 3 new massacres of Palestinian families, resulting in the deaths of no less than 42 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, while another 83 others were wounded over the previous 24-hours.
It should be noted that as a result of the constant Israeli bombardment of Gaza's healthcare system, infrastructure, residential and commercial buildings, local paramedic and civil defense crews are unable to recover countless hundreds, even thousands of victims who remain trapped under the rubble, or whose bodies remain strewn across the streets of Gaza.
This leaves the official death toll vastly undercounted as Gaza's healthcare officials are unable to accurately tally those killed and maimed in this genocide, which must be kept in mind when considering the scale of the mass murder.
The Hamas resistance movement has rejected attempts by the Israeli occupation to make broad changes to a truce and ceasefire proposal that has been negotiated over for several months now after occupation Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, declared during a trip to the United States that he would submit a new agreement.
"Hamas insists on adopting the latest proposal that it had submitted to the mediators," a Palestinian source told Al-Mayadeen News.
The Hamas resistance movement "remains steadfast in its position on the complete Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, including the Netzarim and Philadelphi axes."
According to the source, the Palestinian resistance group stressed that it "informed the mediators that it would not accept any new formula that does not include a clear text on a ceasefire."
"Hamas does not object to a government taking over the administration of the Gaza Strip with national consensus and on a temporary basis, if an agreement is not reached on a national consensus government for the West Bank and the Gaza Strip," the Palestinian source told Al-Mayadeen.
Previously, the British Newswire service Reuters confirmed that the Zionist entity is seeking to introduce amendments that could complicate the ability to reach a final deal for a ceasefire and hostage exchange agreement.
The new amendments relate to an Israeli insistence that it be allowed to screen Palestinian civilians returning to their heavily damaged and destroyed homes in the northern Gaza Strip, after previously and forcibly evacuating residents to the south of the enclave.
In the meantime, the Israeli security and military establishment believes if a deal is not reached to return their prisoners being held by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza, this would “lead to the outbreak of war in the north at a time that does not suit Israel.”
In more news on Saturday, July 27th, the United Nations has declared that 180'000 Palestinian civilians have been displaced over the last 4 days under evacuation orders issued by the Israeli occupation army in southern Gaza.
The UN said that more than 180'000 Palestinians were displaced over a period of just 4 days as fierce fighting continues in and around the Khan Yunis area, while the Israeli occupation has ordered the mandatory evacuation of civilians from the southern Gazan city towards the Al-Mawasi area, northwest of Khan Yunis.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) also released a statement on Saturday stating that at least 199 United Nations workers have been killed, and hundreds more wounded, as a result of the Israeli occupation's aggression in the Gaza Strip.
"In Gaza, the blatant disregard for international humanitarian law is now commonplace," a UNRWA press release says of the situation.
"Women, children, journalists, humanitarian workers – all continue to pay a tragically high price," UNRWA continued, adding that the "UNRWA is no exception."
"199 colleagues have now been killed, the vast majority with their families. Nearly two-thirds of the Agency’s premises – some 190 buildings – have been hit, some twice. Many of our schools are demolished and can no longer be used as schools."
"In the past two weeks alone, 8 UNRWA schools, all serving as shelters for displaced people, have been struck. Our headquarters offices in Gaza are destroyed beyond recognition. More than 560 displaced people, including many women and children, have been killed while sheltering under the UN flag," the UN agency said in its statement.
The UNRWA added that "just this week, two UN convoys heading north were shot at, despite coordination, deconfliction, and authorization from the Israeli Army."
The UN humanitarian organization went on to state that "Humanitarian workers must never be targets of war. They must be protected at all times and in all locations."
"But in Gaza, too often they have come under attack, been injured, and even killed. We have said it many times before, and I repeat it again: No place is safe in Gaza. No one is safe, including humanitarian aid workers."
Meanwhile, in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation continues unabated, with several new massacres committed going into the weekend.
In a horrific new war crime and massacre, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) launched an attack targeting a field hospital located in a school housing displaced Palestinian families in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of dozens of Palestinians, and wounding scores of others.
According to reporting published in the Turkish and Palestinian media, Zionist warplanes fired three missiles towards a field hospital in the Khadija School, which houses displaced families in the city of Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, and has been classified as a "humanitarian safe zone", resulting in the deaths of at least 31 Palestinian civilians, including women and children, and wounding dozens of others.
In a statement, Gaza's media office said that these ongoing massacres being committed by the Israeli occupation, in light of its purposeful collapse of Gaza's healthcare system, the destruction and burning of hospitals and putting them out of service, and in light of the enormous pressure on medical staff and what remains of surgical operating rooms, as well as the closure of the land crossings for the sick and wounded seeking treatment abroad and the blocking of fuel, have resulted in the catastrophic humanitarian and health conditions being experienced in the Gaza Strip.
The office condemned in the strongest possible terms the Israeli occupation's perpetration of this horrific massacre against a field hospital that provides medical services to dozens of patients and wounded, all of whom are civilians, and holds the Israeli occupation and the US administration fully responsible for the continuation of these massacres against the displaced and the civilian population.
Gaza's media office called on the international community, the United Nations, various other international organizations, and all the countries of the free world to pressure the Israeli occupation and the American administration to stop the war of genocide and stop the torrent of blood flowing in the Gaza Strip.
Unfortunately, the slaughter didn't end with the latest massacre, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) also targeted a gathering of civilians near the Al-Amal Hotel, west of Gaza City, with artillery shelling, resulting in the deaths of two Palestinians and wounding several others.
Similarly, a Zionist drone bombed a civilian on a bicycle in the vicinity of Abu Hasira Street, west of Gaza City, killing one citizen and wounding three others, while occupation artillery shelling continues to hammer neighborhoods west of the city.
Following those strikes, Israeli fighter jets launched several raids on the Wadi Saber area in Abasan Al-Kabira, east of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, killing and wounding several civilians.
Zionist soldiers also detonated an entire residential block near the Sheikh Nasser neighborhood, east of Khan Yunis, while occupation aircraft bombarded areas east of the Al-Bureij Refugee Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, and also bombed a house on Block-12 in the camp.
On Friday evening, Israeli occupation drones bombed a gathering of civilians near the Zaghoul Junction, northwest of the city of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, killing two citizens who were transferred to the Nasser medical complex in Khan Yunis.
Similarly, on Saturday morning, a Zionist helicopter bombed a residential house west of the Al-Nuseirat Refugee Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in a number of casualties, while occupation gunfire injured several Palestinians in the Qizan Rashwan area, south of Khan Yunis.
In another horrific atrocity, IOF warplanes bombed a residential home belonging to the Al-Masry family in the Musbah area, north of the city of Rafah, killing at least 5 Palestinian civilians and wounding a number of others.
The horrors inflicted on the civilian population of Gaza continued when Zionist fighter jets bombed a residential apartment belonging to the Abu Teir family, in the town of Abasan Al-Kabira, east of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, murdering another 4 Palestinian residents and wounding several others.
Occupation warplanes also launched raids targeting agricultural lands in the Armida area east of Bani Suhaila, east of Khan Yunis, while Zionist artillery detatchments shelled a house and agricultural land east of the Al-Maghazi Refugee Camp, in the central Gaza Strip.
Local ambulance crews also reported the recovery of 5 dead bodies of those killed after occupation forces bombed the Yemeni family home in the Al-Bureij Camp, in central Gaza.
Occupation aircraft went on to bombard a residential house belonging to the Abu Khousa family on Al-Jalaa Street in Gaza City.
Later in the day on Saturday, Israeli occupation forces bombed the Mufti's Land area, north of the Nuseirat Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, killing one Palestinian and wounding several others.
Additionally, Zionist warplanes bombed a civilian residence in the Al-Maghazi Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, killing another two civilians and wounding a number of others.
As a result of the Israeli occupation's ongoing war of extermination in the Gaza Strip, the endlessly rising death toll now exceeds 39'217 Palestinians killed, including at least 10'300 women and well over 15'700 children, while another 90'486 others have been wounded since the start of the current round of Zionist aggression, beginning with the events of October 7th, 2023.
This brings the total number of casualties to 129'703, or the equivalent of 5.63% of Gaza's 2.3 million residents.

Enclosures To Defend F-15Es From Drone Attacks Eyed At Seymour Johnson AFB
Joseph TrevithickPUBLISHED May 30, 2024 5:02 PM EDT
Officials at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina are looking into the possibility of erecting physical barriers to protect F-15E Strike Eagles there from drones.
USAF
Officials at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina are looking into the possibility of setting up physical barriers to help protect F-15E Strike Eagles there from being attacked by small drones. The anti-drone barricade idea underscores the danger that drones present right now to U.S. military facilities and critical civil infrastructure domestically, as well as to American forces overseas. It also speaks to how the U.S. military is still lagging in efforts to address these still-growing threats at home and abroad, as well as continued legal, regulatory, and other challenges.
The U.S. Air Force's 4th Contracting Squadron, part of the 4th Fighter Wing at Seymour Johnson, put out its request for information (RFI) about potential options for "Counter Small Unmanned Aerial System Barrier" yesterday. The facility in North Carolina is one of two bases in the United States that host operational F-15E Strike Eagle squadrons. F-15Es are some of the Air Force's most in-demand tactical combat jets. In April, forward-deployed Strike Eagles, including from Seymour Johnson's 335th Fighter Squadron, played out an outsized role in defending Israel from incoming Iranian threats by downing more than 70 drones.
Tumblr media

"Problem Statement: Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (s-UAS) disrupt airfield operations and agencies have limited response capabilities due to restrictions on counter measures posed by the Federal Aviation Administration (Section 130i, Title 10, USC)," the notice says. We will come back to that latter point.
"The requirement: Build a passive barrier that will prevent a Group 1 or Group 2 sUAS from making physical contact with an F-15E Strike Eagle using commercial off the shelf material," it adds.
The U.S. military breaks uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) down into five groups based on maximum weight, operating altitude, and top speed. Group 1 includes drones with weights up to 20 pounds, that can fly up to 1,200 feet, and can reach speeds of up to 100 knots. Group 2 is the next tier up covering uncrewed aerial vehicles that weigh between 21 and 55 pounds, can get up to 3,500 feet, and hit top speeds of up to 250 knots.
The requirements for the proposed anti-drone barriers at Seymour Johnson include that it "needs the strength to stop [a] 55lb drone traveling at 125 mph [nearly 109 knots]" and that "any space/gaps in material or design should not exceed six inches."
How exactly the barriers might be emplaced is not entirely clear, but mention is made of existing flight line shelters with simple canvas covers, suggesting that this would be add-on protection for those structures.
Tumblr media
A look at the kind of open canvas-topped shelters in use on the flight line at Seymour Johnson now (seen here after a snowstorm in 2022). USAF
The "weight of material should be kept to a minimum to reduce structural load and facilitate rapid open/closing," the RFI does note, adding that whatever the barriers are made of needs to be flame retardant. The "system [also] needs to be tightly secured in both open and closed positions."
Whether or not any specific drone incidents at Seymour Johnson have prompted this barrier requirement is unknown and The War Zone has reached out for more information.
What is known is that drone incursions over or near U.S. military bases and training ranges, as well as critical civilian infrastructure, across the United States (including its outlying territories) have been an increasingly serious issue for years now, as The War Zone regularly reports. Just in March, we were the first to reveal that Langley Air Force Base in Virginia had been swarmed by drones for weeks last year. Those incidents prompted a major whole-of-government response, which you can read more about here.
Though many such drone-related incidents to date have appeared to be innocuous, they reflect very real potential threats that are only expected to grow in size and scope going forward. The barrier to entry to employing small drones, as well as weaponizing them to differing degrees, is also very low. The conflict in Ukraine has forced this reality fully into the mainstream consciousness, especially through the use on both sides of highly maneuverable first-person view (FPV) kamikaze drones. These are exactly the kinds of threats officials at Seymour Johnson now look to be seeking to address in part through physical barriers – which is also one of the many anti-drone countermeasures that have already emerged in Ukraine.
Tumblr media
At the same time, it is important to stress again that these threats are not new or unknown to the U.S. military, and they are rapidly growing in frequency and sophistication.
Tumblr media
"One day last week I had two small UASs that were interfering with operations... At one base, the gate guard watched one fly over the top of the gate check, tracked it while it flew over the flight line for a little while, and then flew back out and left," now-retired Air Force Gen. James "Mike" Holmes, then head of Air Combat Command (ACC), said back in 2017.
“Imagine a world where somebody flies a couple hundred of those and flies one down the intake of my F-22s with just a small weapon on it," Holmes added at the time.
As we noted at the time, jets just sitting idle and exposed on the flight line would be even easier targets for drones. In this way, an adversary could potentially knock out large numbers of aircraft on the ground, even in the United States using commercially available technology, before they ever have a chance to get in the fight.
Four years later, AFWERX, an internal Air Force technology incubator, put out a broad call for proposals for ways to defend the service's bases at home and abroad from drones. As the new contracting notice from Seymour Johson Air Force Base shows, the U.S. military continues to be very much playing catch-up to addressing these now well-established threats.
Tumblr media

“You can only report what you see, and so that’s part of the challenge,” a senior U.S. defense official told reporters at the Pentagon just earlier this month when asked about drone threats to domestic facilities, according to Air & Space Forces Magazine. "But I’d say that’s usually two or three a week, total across the U.S. And it’s never primarily in one part of the country or another."
Part of the issue, at least domestically, continues to be the morass of overlapping authorities, as well as competing legal and regulatory requirements. Back in 2017, Gen. Holmes noted that "I have no authority given to me by the government to deal with that [drone incursions]."
Even in 2017, efforts were being made to try to expand the authorities available to base commanders in the United States to respond to potentially hostile drones. The U.S. government has made additional domestic counter-drone policy changes since then.
However, as the new contracting notice from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base makes clear, there continue to be hurdles to taking more proactive measures to address drone threats.
Section 130i, Title 10, as cited in the Seymour Johnson anti-drone barrier RFI, does provide authority for "action" to be taken to include measures to "disrupt control of the unmanned aircraft system or unmanned aircraft, without prior consent, including by disabling the unmanned aircraft system or unmanned aircraft by intercepting, interfering, or causing interference with wire, oral, electronic, or radio communications used to control the unmanned aircraft system or unmanned aircraft" and the "use reasonable force to disable, damage, or destroy the unmanned aircraft system or unmanned aircraft."

However, the statute also stipulates that "the Secretary of Defense shall coordinate with the Secretary of Transportation and the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration before issuing any guidance or otherwise implementing this section if such guidance or implementation might affect aviation safety, civilian aviation and aerospace operations, aircraft airworthiness, or the use of airspace."
The FAA continues to impose significant limitations on the use of active anti-drone countermeasures in many domestic contexts. The War Zone has also highlighted in the past how obtuse and convoluted the existing mechanisms are for securing authorization to take action against uncrewed aerial threats within the United States can be, and that situation does not look to have improved substantially in recent years.
"The first problem is that our nation lacks adequate drone detection capability. We still rely on the early warning radars that served us so well during the Cold War," Senators Jack Reed and Roger Wicker, wrote in a joint op-ed in the Washington Post in April. "Today, though, they are unable to detect, identify and track small aircraft at both high and low altitudes. Inside the United States, we can hardly track anything other than commercial aircraft. Almost none of our domestic military bases have the sensors to identify small drones."
It's worth noting here that the filter ‘gates’ on various air defense radars in North America were altered in February 2023, which immediately resulted in the tracking of a large amount of additional aerial activity. The radar changes followed a Chinese spy balloon intruding into U.S. airspace and soaring across the country over a period of days before being shot down over the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of South Carolina. Within a week, U.S. fighters had brought down three more still-unidentified objects flying in U.S. and Canadian airspace, as you can read more about here. Members of the Senate subsequently demanded a review of the U.S.-Canadian North American Aerospace Defense Command's (NORAD) “aerospace warning and control mission and procedures."
Tumblr media

"If we fixed our tracking problem, though, a second issue would arise. U.S. agencies lack clear lines of authority about which agency is responsible for stopping these incursions. Instead, a dizzying maze of overlapping jurisdictions and inflexible bureaucracies confuses, rather than clarifies, crisis response," Senators Reed and Wicker, a Democrat from Rhode Island and Republican from Mississippi, respectively, who are also the top members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, continued in their recent op-ed. "Government officials from an alphabet soup of agencies – Defense Department, Justice Department, Department of Homeland Security, Federal Aviation Administration – spend hours if not days simply discussing who can take action when a UAS is identified. Too often, low-altitude incursions are treated as a law enforcement matter instead of as a national security issue."
Whether Seymour Johnson ultimately gets anti-drone barriers or not remains to be seen. If these added defensive measures are implemented there, they could quickly become commonplace at other bases.
Regardless, the new contracting notice underscores the U.S. military's ongoing efforts to respond to the now well-established threat posed by uncrewed aerial systems, and its continued struggle in doing so.

An investigation uncovers a web of influence in the powerful coalition aligned behind the European Commission’s proposal to scan for child sexual abuse material online, a proposal leading experts say puts rights at risk and will introduce new vulnerabilities by undermining encryption.
In early May 2022, days before she launched one of the most contentious legislative proposals Brussels had seen in years, the European Union’s home affairs commissioner, Ylva Johansson, sent a letter to a US organisation co-founded in 2012 by the movie stars Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore.
The organisation, Thorn, develops artificial intelligence tools to scan for child sexual abuse images online, and Johansson’s proposed regulation is designed to fight the spread of such content on messaging apps.
“We have shared many moments on the journey to this proposal,” the Swedish politician wrote, according to a copy of the letter addressed to Thorn executive director Julie Cordua and which BIRN has seen.
Johansson urged Cordua to continue the campaign to get it passed: “Now I am looking to you to help make sure that this launch is a successful one.”
That campaign faces a major test in October when Johansson’s proposal is put to a vote in the Civil Liberties Committee of the European Parliament. It has already been the subject of heated debate.
The regulation would obligate digital platforms – from Facebook to Telegram, Signal to Snapchat, TikTok to clouds and online gaming websites – to detect and report any trace of child sexual abuse material, CSAM, on their systems and in their users’ private chats.
It would introduce a complex legal architecture reliant on AI tools for detecting images, videos and speech – so-called ‘client-side scanning’ – containing sexual abuse against minors and attempts to groom children.
Welcomed by some child welfare organisations, the regulation has nevertheless been met with alarm from privacy advocates and tech specialists who say it will unleash a massive new surveillance system and threaten the use of end-to-end encryption, currently the ultimate way to secure digital communications from prying eyes.
The EU’s top data protection watchdog, Wojciech Wiewiorowski, warned Johansson about the risks in 2020, when she informed him of her plans.
They amount to “crossing the Rubicon” in terms of the mass surveillance of EU citizens, he said in an interview for this story. It “would fundamentally change the internet and digital communication as we know it.”
Johansson, however, has not blinked. “The privacy advocates sound very loud,” the commissioner said in a speech in November 2021. “But someone must also speak for the children.”
Based on dozens of interviews, leaked documents and insight into the Commission’s internal deliberations, this investigation connects the dots between the key actors bankrolling and organising the advocacy campaign in favour of Johansson’s proposal and their direct links with the commissioner and her cabinet.
It’s a synthesis that granted certain stakeholders, AI firms and advocacy groups – which enjoy significant financial backing – a questionable level of influence over the crafting of EU policy.
The proposed regulation is excessively “influenced by companies pretending to be NGOs but acting more like tech companies”, said Arda Gerkens, former director of Europe’s oldest hotline for reporting online CSAM.
“Groups like Thorn use everything they can to put this legislation forward, not just because they feel that this is the way forward to combat child sexual abuse, but also because they have a commercial interest in doing so.”
If the regulation undermines encryption, it risks introducing new vulnerabilities, critics argue. “Who will benefit from the legislation?” Gerkens asked. “Not the children.”
Privacy assurances ‘deeply misleading’
Star of That ‘70s Show and a host of Hollywood hits, 45-year-old Kutcher resigned as chairman of the Thorn board in mid-September amid uproar over a letter he wrote to a judge in support of convicted rapist and fellow That ‘70s Show actor Danny Masterson, prior to his sentencing.
Up until that moment, however, Kutcher had for years been the very recognisable face of a campaign to rid the Internet of CSAM, a role that involved considerable access to the top brass in Brussels.
Thorn’s declarations to the EU transparency register lists meetings with senior members of the cabinets of top Commission officials with a say in the bloc’s security or digital policy, including Johansson, antitrust czar Margrethe Vestager, Commission Vice-President Margaritis Schinas, and internal market commissioner Thierry Breton.
In November 2020, it was the turn of Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who was part of a video conference with Kutcher and an organisation registered in the small Dutch town of Lisse – the WeProtect Global Alliance.
Though registered in the EU lobby database as a charity, Thorn sells its AI tools on the market for a profit; since 2018, the US Department of Homeland Security, for example, has purchased software licences from Thorn for a total of $4.3 million.
These tools are used by companies such as Vimeo, Flickr and OpenAI – the creator of chatbot ChatGPT and one of many beneficiaries of Kutcher’s IT investments – and by law enforcement agencies across the globe.
In November 2022, Kutcher and Johansson lined up as key speakers at a summit organised and moderated by then European Parliament Vice President Eva Kaili, who three weeks later was arrested and deposed over an investigation into the ‘Qatargate’ cash-for-lobbying scandal.
In March this year, six months before his resignation amid uproar over his letter of support for Masterson, Kutcher addressed lawmakers in Brussels, seeking to appease concerns about the possible misuse and shortcomings of the existing technology. Technology can scan for suspicious material without violating privacy, he said, a claim that the European Digital Rights association said was “deeply misleading”.
The Commission has been reluctant to detail the relationship between Thorn and Johansson’s cabinet under the EU’s freedom of information mechanism. It refused to disclose Cordua’s emailed response to Johansson’s May 2022 letter or a ‘policy one pager’ Thorn had shared with her cabinet, citing Thorn’s position that “the disclosure of the information contained therein would undermine the organisation’s commercial interest”.
After seven months of communication concerning access to documents and the intervention of the European Ombudsman, in early September the Commission finally released a series of email exchanges between Johansson’s Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs and Thorn.
The emails reveal a continuous and close working relationship between the two sides in the months following the roll out of the CSAM proposal, with the Commission repeatedly facilitating Thorn’s access to crucial decision-making venues attended by ministers and representatives of EU member states.
The European Ombudsman is looking into the Commission’s refusal to grant access to a host of other internal documents pertaining to Johansson’s proposal.
FGS Global, a major lobbying firm hired by Thorn and paid at least 600,000 euros in 2022 alone, said Thorn would not comment for this story. Johansson also did not respond to an interview request.
Enter ‘WeProtect Global Alliance’
Among the few traces of Thorn’s activities in the EU’s lobby transparency register is a contribution of 219,000 euros in 2021 to the WeProtect Global Alliance, the organisation that had a video conference with Kutcher and Von der Leyen in late 2020.
WeProtect is the offspring of two governmental initiatives – one co-founded by the Commission and the United States, the other by Britain.
They merged in 2016 and, in April 2020, as momentum built for legislation to CSAM with client-side scanning technology, WeProtect was transformed from a British government-funded entity into a putatively independent ‘foundation’ registered at a residential address in Lisse, on the Dutch North Sea coast.
Its membership includes powerful security agencies, a host of governments, Big Tech managers, NGOs, and one of Johansson’s most senior cabinet officials, Antonio Labrador Jimenez, who heads the Commission’s team tasked with fighting CSAM.
Minutes after the proposed regulation was unveiled in May last year, Labrador Jimenez emailed his Commission colleagues: “The EU does not accept that children cannot be protected and become casualties of policies that put any other values or rights above their protection, whatever these may be.”
He said he was looking forward to “seeing many of you in Brussels during the WeProtect Global Alliance summit” the following month.
Labrador Jimenez officially joined the WeProtect Policy Board in July 2020, after the Commission decided to join and fund it as “the central organisation for coordinating and streamlining global efforts and regulatory improvements” in the fight against CSAM. WeProtect public documents, however, show Labrador Jimenez participating in WeProtect board meetings in December 2019.
Commenting on this story, the Commission said Labrador Jimenez “does not receive any kind of compensation for his participation in the WeProtect Global Alliance Management Board, and performs this function as part of his duties at the Commission”.
Labrador Jimenez’s position on the WeProtect Board, however, raises questions about how the Commission uses its participation in the organisation to promote Johannson’s proposal.
When Labrador Jimenez briefed fellow WeProtect Board members about the proposed regulation in July 2022, notes from the meeting show that “the Board discussed the media strategy of the legislation”.
Labrador Jimenez has also played a central role in drafting and promoting Johansson’s regulation, the same proposal that WeProtect is actively campaigning for with EU funding. And next to him on the board sits Thorn’s Julie Cordua, as well as government officials from the US and Britain [the latter currently pursuing its own Online Safety Bill], Interpol, and United Arab Emirates colonel, Dana Humaid Al Marzouqi, who chairs or participates in numerous international police task forces.
Between 2020 and 2023, Johansson’s Directorate-General awarded almost 1 million euros to WeProtect to organise the June 2022 summit in Brussels, which was dedicated to the fight against CSAM and activities to enhance law enforcement collaboration.
WeProtect did not reply directly to questions concerning its funding arrangements with the Commission or to what extent its advocacy strategies are shaped by the governments and stakeholders sitting on its policy board.
In a statement, it said it is led “by a multi-stakeholder Global Policy Board; members include representatives from countries, international and civil society organisations, and the technology industry.”
The financing
Another member of the WeProtect board alongside Labrador Jimenez is Douglas Griffiths, a former official of the US State Department and currently president of the Geneva-based Oak Foundation, a group of philanthropic organisations around the world providing grants “to make the world a safer, fairer, and more sustainable place to live”.
Oak Foundation has provided WeProtect with “generous support for strategic communications”, according to WeProtect financial statements from 2021.
From Oak Foundation’s annual financial reports, it is clear it has a long-term commitment to aiding NGOs tackling child abuse. It is also funding the closely linked network of civil society organisations and lobby groups promoting Johansson’s proposed regulation, many of which have helped build an umbrella entity called the European Child Sexual Abuse Legislation Advocacy Group, ECLAG.
ECLAG, which launched its website a few weeks after Johansson’s proposal was announced in May 2022, acts as a coordination platform for some of the most active organisations lobbying in favour of the CSAM legislation. Its steering committee includes Thorn and a host of well-known children’s rights organisations such as ECPAT, Eurochild, Missing Children Europe, Internet Watch Foundation, and Terre des Hommes.
Another member is Brave Movement, which came into being in April 2022, a month before’s Johansson’s regulation was rolled out, thanks to a $10.3 million contribution by the Oak Foundation to Together for Girls, a US-based non-profit that fights sexual violence against children.
Oak Foundation has also given to Thorn – $5 million in 2019. In 2020, it gave $250,000 to ECPAT to engage “policy makers to include children’s interests in revisions to the Digital Services Act and on the impact of end-to-end encryption” and a further $100,000 in support of efforts to end “the online child sexual abuse and exploitation of children in the digital space”. The same year it authorised a $990,000 grant to Eurochild, another NGO coalition that campaigns for children’s rights in Brussels.
In 2021, Oak Foundation gave Thorn a further $250,000 to enhance its coordinating role in Brussels with the aim of ensuring “that any legislative solutions and instruments coming from the EU build on and enhance the existing ecosystem of global actors working to protect children online”.
In 2022, the foundation granted ECPAT a three-year funding package of $2.79 million “to ensure that children’s rights are placed at the centre of digital policy processes in the European Union”. The WeProtect Global Alliance received $2.33 million, also for three years, “to bring together governments, the private sector, civil society, and international organisations to develop policies and solutions that protect children from sexual exploitation and abuse online”.
In a response for this story, Oak Foundation said it does not “advocate for proposed legislation nor work on the details of those policy recommendations”.
It did not respond directly to questions concerning the implications of Johansson’s regulation on privacy rights. A spokesperson said the foundation supports organisations that “advocate for new policies, with a specific focus in the EU, US, and UK, where opportunities exist to establish precedent for other governments”.
‘Divide and conquer’
Brave Movement’s internal advocacy documents lay out a comprehensive strategy for utilising the voices of abuse survivors to leverage support for Johansson’s proposal in European capitals and, most importantly, within the European Parliament, while targeting prominent critics.
The organisation has enjoyed considerable access to Johansson. In late April 2022, it hosted the Commissioner in an online ‘Global Survivors Action Summit’ – a rare feat in the Brussels bubble for an organisation that was launched just weeks earlier.
An internal strategy document from November 2022 the same year leaves no doubts about the organisation’s role in rallying support for Johansson’s proposal.
“The main objective of the Brave Movement mobilisation around this proposed legislation is to see it passed and implemented throughout the EU,” it states.
“If this legislation is adopted, it will create a positive precedent for other countries… which we will invite to follow through with similar legislation.”
In April this year, the Brave Movement held an ‘Action Day’ outside the European Parliament, where a group of survivors of online child sexual abuse were gathered “to demand EU leaders be brave and act to protect millions of children at risk from the violence and trauma they faced”.
Johansson joined the photo-op.
Survivors of such abuse are key to the Brave Movement’s strategy of winning over influential MEPs.
“Once the EU Survivors taskforce is established and we are clear on the mobilised survivors, we will establish a list pairing responsible survivors with MEPs – we will ‘divide and conquer’ the MEPs by deploying in priority survivors from MEPs’ countries of origin,” its advocacy strategy reads.
Conservative Spanish MEP Javier Zarzalejos, the lead negotiator on the issue in the parliament, according to the Brave Movement strategy has called for “strong survivors’ mobilisation in key countries like Germany”.
Brave Movement’s links with the Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs goes deeper still: its Europe campaign manager, Jessica Airey, worked on communications for the Directorate-General between October 2022 and February 2023, promoting Johansson’s regulation.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Airey worked “closely with the policy team who developed the [child sexual abuse imagery] legislation in D.4 [where Labrador Jimenez works] and partners like Thorn”.
She also “worked horizontally with MEPs, WeProtect Global Alliance, EPCAT”.
Asked about a possible conflict of interest in Airey’s work for Brave Movement on the same legislative file, the European Commission responded that Airey was appointed as a trainee and so no formal permission was required. It did say, however, that “trainees must maintain strict confidentiality regarding all knowledge acquired during training. Unauthorised disclosure of non-public documents or information is strictly prohibited, with this obligation extending beyond the training period.”
Brave Movement said it is “proud of the diverse alliances we have built and the expert team we have recruited, openly, to achieve our strategic goals”, pointing out that last year alone one online safety hotline received 32 million reports of child sexual abuse content.
Brave Movement has enlisted expert support: its advocacy strategy was drafted by UK consultancy firm Future Advocacy, while its ‘toolkit’, which aims to “build a beating drum of support for comprehensive legislation that protects children” in the EU, was drafted with the involvement of Purpose, a consultancy whose European branch is controlled by French Capgemini SE.
Purpose specialises in designing campaigns for UN agencies and global companies, using “public mobilisation and storytelling” to “shift policies and change public narratives”.
Beginning in 2022, the Oak Foundation gave Purpose grants worth $1.9 million to “help make the internet safer for children”.
Since April 2022, Purpose representatives have met regularly with ECLAG – the network of civil society groups and lobbyists – to refine a pan-European communications strategy.
Documents seen by this investigation also show they met with members of Johansson’s team.
A ‘BeBrave Europe Task Force’ meeting in January this year involved the ECLAG steering group, Purpose EU, Justice Initiative and Labrador Jimenez’s unit within the Directorate-General. In 2023 the foundation that launched the Justice Initiative, the Guido Fluri Foundation, received $416,667 from Oak Foundation.
The Commission, according to its own notes of the meeting, “recommended that when speaking with stakeholders of the negotiation, the organisations should not forget to convey a sense of urgency on the need to find an agreement on the legislation this year”.
This coordinated messaging resulted this year in a social media video featuring Johansson, Zarzalejos, and representatives of the organisations behind ECLAG promoting a petition in favour of her regulation.
Disproportionate infringement of rights
Some 200 kilometres north from Brussels, in the Dutch city of Amsterdam, a bright office on the edge of the city’s famous red light district marks the frontline of the fight to identify and remove CSAM in Europe.
‘Offlimits’, previously known as the Online Child Abuse Expertise Agency, or EOKM, is Europe’s oldest hotline for children and adults wanting to report abuse, whether happening behind closed doors or seen on video circulating online.
In 2022, its seven analysts processed 144,000 reports, and 60 per cent concerned illegal content. The hotline sends requests to remove the content to web hosting providers and, if the material is considered particularly serious, to the police and Interpol.
Offlimits director between 2015 and September this year, Arda Gerkens is deeply knowledgeable of EU policy on the matter. Yet unlike the likes of Thorn, she had little luck accessing Johansson.
“I invited her here but she never came,” said Gerkens, a former Socialist Party MP in the Dutch parliament.
“Commissioner Johansson and her staff visited Silicon Valley and big North American companies,” she said. Companies presenting themselves as NGOs but acting more like tech companies have influenced Johansson’s regulation, Gerkens said, arguing that Thorn and groups like it “have a commercial interest”.
Gerkens said that the fight against child abuse must be deeply improved and involve an all-encompassing approach that addresses welfare, education, and the need to protect the privacy of children, along with a “multi-stakeholder approach with the internet sector”.
“Encryption,” she said, “is key to protecting kids as well: predators hack accounts searching for images”.
It’s a position reflected in some of the concerns raised by the Dutch in ongoing negotiations on a compromise text at the EU Council, arguing in favour of a less intrusive approach that protects encrypted communication and addresses only material already identified and designated as CSAM by monitoring groups and authorities.
A Dutch government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said: “The Netherlands has serious concerns with regard to the current proposals to detect unknown CSAM and address grooming, as current technologies lead to a high number of false positives.”
“The resulting infringement of fundamental rights is not proportionate.”
Self-interest
In June 2022, shortly after the roll out of Johansson’s proposal, Thorn representatives sat down with one of the commissioner’s cabinet staff, Monika Maglione. An internal report of the meeting, obtained for this investigation, notes that Thorn was interested to understand how “bottlenecks in the process that goes from risk assessment to detection order” would be dealt with.
Detection orders are a crucial component of the procedure set out within Johansson’s proposed regulation, determining the number of people to be surveilled and how often.
European Parliament sources say that in technical meetings, Zarzalejos, the rapporteur on the proposal, has argued in favour of detection orders that do not necessarily focus on individuals or groups of suspects, but are calibrated to allow scanning for suspicious content.
This, experts say, would unlock the door to the general monitoring of EU citizens, otherwise known as mass surveillance.
Asked to clarify his position, Zarzalejos’ office responded: “The file is currently being discussed closed-doors among the shadow rapporteurs and we are not making any comments so far”.
In the same meeting with Maglione, Thorn representatives expressed a “willingness to collaborate closely with COM [European Commission] and provide expertise whenever useful, in particular with respect to the creation of the database of indicators to be hosted by the EU Centre” as well as to prepare “communication material on online child sexual abuse”.
The EU Centre to Prevent and Combat Child Sexual Abuse, which would be created under Johansson’s proposal, would play a key role in helping member states and companies implement the legislation; it would also vet and approve scanning technologies, as well as purchase and offer them to small and medium companies.
As a producer of such scanning technologies, a role for Thorn in supporting the capacity building of the EU Centre database would be of significant commercial interest to the company.
Meredith Whittaker, president of Signal Foundation, the US non-for-profit foundation behind the Signal encrypted chat application, says that AI companies that produce scanning systems are effectively promoting themselves as clearing houses and a liability buffer for big tech companies, sensing the market potential.
“The more they frame this as a huge problem in the public discourse and to regulators, the more they incentivise large tech companies to outsource their dealing of the problems to them,” Whittaker said in an interview for this story.
Effectively, such AI firms are offering tech companies a “get out of responsibility free card”, Whittaker said, by telling them, “’You pay us (…) and we will host the hashes, we will maintain the AI system, we will do whatever it is to magically clean up this problem”.
“So it’s very clear that whatever their incorporation status is, that they are self-interested in promoting child exploitation as a problem that happens “online,” and then proposing quick (and profitable) technical solutions as a remedy to what is in reality a deep social and cultural problem. (…) I don’t think governments understand just how expensive and fallible these systems are, that we’re not looking at a one-time cost. We’re looking at hundreds of millions of dollars indefinitely due to the scale that this is being proposed at.”
Lack of scientific input
Johansson has dismissed the idea that the approach she advocates will unleash something new or extreme, telling MEPs last year that it was “totally false to say that with a new regulation there will be new possibilities for detection that don’t exist today”.
But experts question the science behind it.
Matthew Daniel Green, a cryptographer and security technologist at John Hopkins University, said there was an evident lack of scientific input into the crafting of her regulation.
“In the first impact assessment of the EU Commission there was almost no outside scientific input and that’s really amazing since Europe has a terrific scientific infrastructure, with the top researchers in cryptography and computer security all over the world,” Green said.
AI-driven scanning technology, he warned, risks exposing digital platforms to malicious attacks and would undermine encryption.
“If you touch upon built-in encryption models, then you introduce vulnerabilities,” he said. “The idea that we are going to be able to have encrypted conversations like ours is totally incompatible with these scanning automated systems, and that’s by design.”
In a blow to the advocates of AI-driven CSAM scanning, US tech giant Apple said in late August that it is impossible to implement CSAM-scanning while preserving the privacy and security of digital communications. The same month, UK officials privately admitted to tech companies that there is no existing technology able to scan end-to-end encrypted messages without undermining users’ privacy.
According to research by Imperial College academics Ana-Maria Cretu and Shubham Jain, published last May, AI driven Client Side Scanning systems could be quietly tweaked to perform facial recognition on user devices without the user’s knowledge. They warned of more vulnerabilities that have yet to be identified.
“Once this technology is rolled out to billions of devices across the world, you can’t take it back”, they said.
Law enforcement agencies are already considering the possibilities it offers.
In July 2022, the head of Johansson’s Directorate-General, Monique Pariat, visited Europol to discuss the contribution the EU police agency could make to the fight against CSAM, in a meeting attended by Europol executive director Catherine de Bolle.
Europol officials floated the idea of using the proposed EU Centre to scan for more than just CSAM, telling the Commission, “There are other crime areas that would benefit from detection”. According to the minutes, a Commission official “signalled understanding for the additional wishes” but “flagged the need to be realistic in terms of what could be expected, given the many sensitivities around the proposal.”
Ross Anderson, professor of Security Engineering at Cambridge University, said the debate around AI-driven scanning for CSAM has overlooked the potential for manipulation by law enforcement agencies.
“The security and intelligence community have always used issues that scare lawmakers, like children and terrorism, to undermine online privacy,” he said.
“We all know how this works, and come the next terrorist attack, no lawmaker will oppose the extension of scanning from child abuse to serious violent and political crimes.”

It cannot be overstated that in today's world, where security is a crucial consideration, experiencing the correct security gate installation is vital. No matter, if you want to protect your home, business, or any other property, without a doubt, making the right decision in terms of security gate selection, is the critical factor in providing maximum safety and security at your site. There are so many models in pursuit of optimal solutions that you may need clarification on which type of security gate is the most appropriate for you. Security gates can take different forms, from the simplest chain-link fences to automated barrier accessing, which is possible only with an access code. The kind of security gate that is applicable to a particular entity is determined mostly by the level of security required, the budget, and the size of the area to be secured.
Choosing a security gate depends on many factors, including the features of a particular facility and the perception of the value of the objects that are to be protected. Another factor is financial expenditure (for security gate repair, installation, maintenance, and updates). Knowing the different kinds of gates and their features beforehand is very important for having the most reliable safety system for your business. This guide will detail the various types of security gates available, equipping you with all the information you need to make the perfect choice for your needs.
The best type of security gate:
The perfect type of security gate depends on your company's specific requirements and specifications. Automated barrier systems are usually the safest choice for business buildings; chain-link fences or wrought iron gates work well for residential structures. If you need to manage both automobile and pedestrian traffic simultaneously, you might want to consider combining a variety of gate types. Finally, it's critical to carefully assess your demands before deciding on a security gate so that you can pick the finest solution for your specific circumstance.
Swing Gates Swing gates—also referred to as hinged gates—are among the most popular varieties of security gates in residential and commercial settings. These gates are hinged and swing open and closed on solid supports. They come in a range of materials, such as steel, aluminum, and wrought iron, and they have a traditional aesthetic appeal. Properties with plenty of space for the gates to swing open freely are perfect for swing gates.
Sliding Gates Sliding gates are a great option for homes with narrow driveways or restricted space, where swing gates might not be feasible. These gates work simply by sliding horizontally down a ground-installed track. They may be made to match a variety of architectural types and are quite secure. Their easy-to-use design and space-saving nature make them popular choices for both business and domestic settings.
Barrier Arm Gates Parking lots, toll booths, and other sites with controlled access frequently utilize barrier arm gates, usually referred to as boom gates. A horizontal arm that lifts and lowers to let or prohibit entry makes up these gates. Barrier arm gates come in both manual and automatic variants, making them perfect for effectively controlling vehicle traffic. They let authorized cars enter quickly and conveniently while providing a visual deterrent to unlawful entry.
Vertical Pivot Gates Vertical pivot gates, often called pivot lift gates, are a flexible choice appropriate for many different settings, such as warehouses, high-security installations, and industrial buildings. These gates open and close with the least amount of space needed since they pivot vertically around a central axis. For improved security management, vertical pivot gates may be combined with access control systems to provide robust security features.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Security Gate
Security Requirements Assessing security requirements is the first factor to consider when deciding on the type of gate you go for. Other factors to consider include the type of security called for, the frequency of use, and any security threats your property or assets might be facing.
Space Constraints Consider the width and placement space of the security gate as well. Specify the kind of gate that would best respond to the functionality and suitability of your property layout and size. This can be either a hinged or a sliding gate.
Aesthetic Preferences Pick up the building style of the realty and decide on the security gate to match this design. Whether you like a more or less sleek/modern look or the right balance between the old and new/traditional and ornate appearance, the factory gates that you prefer can be found among plenty of companies that provide these security services.
Budgetary Considerations As budgeting will reduce the options presented and identify only a security gate that satisfies the financial limitations, then you will need to settle for. Besides the outright buying cost, you should also consider any other service and operating expenses throughout the life of the product.
Commercial vs. Residential Security Gates
Different facilities have different security needs, so the most suitable security gates would vary according to the type of facility. Commercial security gates are commonly used in front of office buildings and shopping centers; it's worth mentioning that an automated vehicle barrier system is the most appropriate option for such a situation. Commercial security gates generally come with a code lock or key fob to unlock them and may incorporate additional features such as CCTV cameras and intruder alarms. For residential facilities, a chain-link fence and an iron gate should be used as they will act as barriers. Automated entry gates can provide a secondary layer of security and can be incorporated if required. Yet, homeowners prefer sliding gates, which enable one to monitor and permit entry to the property without interfering with the gates.
Summary
choosing the appropriate security gate is a choice that has to be carefully considered. You may select a security gate installation for your property that offers the ideal blend of durability, usefulness, and style by taking into account variables, including financial limits, space limitations, aesthetic preferences, and security needs. Investing in a high-quality security gate is an investment in the safety and protection of your property, regardless of the type of gate you choose—swing, sliding, barrier arm, or vertical pivot.

Enhancing Clarity: A Comprehensive Guide to Window Cleaning Tools
Windows serve as the portals to our homes and offices, allowing natural light to flood our spaces and offering views of the world beyond. However, maintaining their cleanliness is essential not only for aesthetic appeal but also for ensuring a healthy living or working environment. In the arsenal of tools available for this task, there exists a plethora of options tailored to different needs and preferences. In this guide, we delve into the world of window cleaning tools, exploring their functionalities, advantages, and how they contribute to achieving sparkling, streak-free glass surfaces.window cleaning supplies
Squeegees:
Squeegees are perhaps the quintessential tool for achieving streak-free windows. Consisting of a rubber blade attached to a handle, they efficiently remove water and cleaning solutions from glass surfaces. Their design allows for swift, uniform strokes, making them ideal for both residential and commercial applications. Squeegees come in various sizes to accommodate different window dimensions, and some models feature adjustable handles for added convenience.
Microfiber Cloths:
Microfiber cloths have revolutionized the way we clean windows, offering superior absorbency and trapping capabilities compared to traditional cotton cloths. These ultra-fine fibers capture dirt, dust, and grime with ease, leaving windows spotless and lint-free. When paired with a cleaning solution, microfiber cloths excel at polishing glass surfaces to a brilliant shine without leaving behind residue or streaks. They are reusable and machine washable, making them an eco-friendly option for sustainable cleaning practices.
Extension Poles:
For windows located in high or hard-to-reach areas, extension poles are indispensable tools that enhance accessibility and safety. These telescopic rods can be attached to squeegees, scrubbers, or other cleaning implements, allowing users to reach windows situated on upper floors or in narrow spaces without the need for ladders or scaffolding. Extension poles come in various lengths, with some models featuring twist-lock mechanisms for secure attachment and adjustable angles for versatile use.
Scrubbers:
Stubborn dirt and grime often require a bit of elbow grease to eradicate, and scrubbers are designed precisely for this purpose. These abrasive pads or brushes feature durable bristles or abrasive surfaces that effectively loosen and dislodge dirt from glass surfaces. When paired with a cleaning solution, scrubbers provide thorough cleaning power, preparing the glass for a streak-free finish when used in conjunction with a squeegee or microfiber cloth. Some scrubbers feature pivoting heads or swivel mechanisms for enhanced maneuverability, ensuring thorough cleaning even in tight spaces.
Window Cleaning Solution:
Choosing the right cleaning solution is crucial for achieving optimal results when cleaning windows. While commercial glass cleaners are readily available, many opt for homemade solutions using ingredients such as vinegar, dish soap, or rubbing alcohol. These DIY solutions are often more cost-effective and environmentally friendly, providing effective cleaning power without harsh chemicals or fumes. Regardless of whether you choose a commercial or homemade solution, be sure to use a spray bottle for even application and minimal waste.
Water-fed Pole Systems:
Water-fed pole systems offer a streamlined approach to window cleaning, particularly for large-scale or multi-story buildings. These systems consist of telescopic poles equipped with water jets and soft bristle brushes at the tip. Purified water is pumped through the pole and sprayed onto the window surface, loosening dirt and debris. The brushes agitate the dirt, while the continuous flow of water rinses it away, leaving behind a clean, streak-free surface. Water-fed pole systems are highly efficient and reduce the need for chemical cleaners, making them an eco-friendly option for commercial window cleaning operations.
Conclusion:
Maintaining clean and clear windows enhances the overall appearance and ambiance of any space while promoting a healthy indoor environment. With the myriad of window cleaning tools available, from squeegees and microfiber cloths to extension poles and water-fed pole systems, achieving sparkling, streak-free windows has never been easier. By investing in the right tools and techniques, you can keep your windows looking their best year-round, allowing natural light to illuminate your surroundings and providing unobstructed views of the world beyond.

Sigiriya: An Inspiration for Modern-Day Architecture
Tumblr media
In the heart of Sri Lanka, rising above lush green forests, stands the awe-inspiring rock fortress of Sigiriya. This ancient marvel isn’t merely a testament to the architectural prowess of bygone eras; it also serves as a guiding light for modern-day architectural practices. Let’s delve into how Sigiriya has managed to inspire and influence the contemporary architectural landscape.
1. Harmony with Nature
Sigiriya teaches architects the art of merging structures seamlessly with the natural environment. The rock fortress effortlessly blends into its surroundings, almost as if it sprouted organically from the earth. Modern architects, in their pursuit of sustainable design, draw inspiration from this. Today’s eco-friendly structures, with green roofs, vertical gardens, and landscaped terraces, echo Sigiriya’s gardens and ponds, emphasizing coexistence with nature.
2. Multifunctional Design
Sigiriya wasn’t just a fortress; it was a city center, a palace, and a monastic refuge. Its multi-layered design encompassed royal chambers, audience halls, gardens, moats, and even frescoes. Today’s architectural designs emphasize multifunctionality, creating spaces that serve various purposes. Be it mixed-use buildings combining residential, commercial, and recreational spaces or homes with transformable rooms, the versatility of Sigiriya continues to resonate.
3. Water Management
The intricate water management system of Sigiriya, with its canals, fountains, and moats, was nothing short of genius. Its ability to retain water during dry seasons and divert excess during rains showcased an impressive understanding of hydraulic technology. Modern architecture, faced with climate change and water scarcity, values water-saving and efficient distribution systems, drawing parallels to Sigiriya’s ancient wisdom.
4. Aesthetic with Purpose
The mesmerizing frescoes of Sigiriya, believed to depict either celestial nymphs or the consorts of the king, weren’t just ornamental; they told stories and reflected the culture of the era. Contemporary architecture similarly leans towards designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also carry deeper meanings, narratives, or reflect cultural values.
5. Defensive Strategies
Sigiriya’s architectural layout was masterfully planned to include defensive strategies. From its steep rock base, making it almost impregnable, to the mirror wall preventing defacement, and even the lion gate deterring invaders — each element had a protective purpose. Today’s secure architectural designs — be it in terms of data protection in smart buildings or privacy considerations — owe their lineage to ancient protective measures like those at Sigiriya.
Conclusion
Sigiriya, with its soaring boulders, breathtaking frescoes, and landscaped gardens, isn’t merely an archaeological wonder. It’s a timeless beacon for architects, offering lessons in sustainability, functionality, aesthetics, and more. As we craft the skyscrapers and smart homes of the 21st century, we do so standing on the shoulders of ancient giants like Sigiriya, drawing inspiration from the past to forge a brighter, more innovative future.
As you’re captivated by the magic of Sigiriya and its architectural brilliance, consider enriching your experience further by resting amidst nature. SigiriyaJungles Hotel offers a harmonious blend of luxury and serenity, echoing the very essence of Sigiriya’s charm. Let it be your tranquil retreat after a day of exploration.
