Oh right I forgot to mention another effect that could be observed at high velocities (thousands of km/a for visible light), escaping a gravitational well, or when you expand the space itself. Sorry.

if you’ve never “believed in” the quality of your own research / work, then i’m sorry for you. i’m not using the term “believe” in a way that implies not actually knowing stuff. i mean by it whether people have updated information on the status of research that is currently going on. Maybe there are some interesting new insights that i haven’t heard of and that aren’t listed on wikipedia yet. That was what i was looking for.

Four migrant workers – Ullah Ismat Qiemi, Safi Iayjad, Amin Fazal Khogjani, and Waseem Khan – were burned alive in a car for demanding the regularization of their work at the beginning of June in Amendolara, Italy. “They were farmhands working in our fruit and vegetable harvests, exploited like slaves,” the Calabria chapter of left party Potere al Popolo stated. “When they found the courage to rebel and demand a proper contract, they were punished in a horrific manner: the gangmasters trapped them inside a car at a rest stop near Cosenza and set it on fire.” The event was caught on camera and expanded upon by Mohammad Taj Alamyar, a fifth worker who survived the attack. In his testimony, he described the coercive conditions in which he and his comrades were forced to live, including unstable housing, delayed payments, and the absence of working contracts. According to the trade union confederation CGIL, up to 12,000 farm workers in the region of Calabria alone might be exposed to similar treatment – which allows large companies to save on labor costs and increase profits.

These gangmasters can deduct rent and transportation costs from the workers’ already low daily wage, keeping them in a constant state of need, CGIL warned. Potere al Popolo’s Giuliano Granato emphasizes the model is present not only in agriculture, where it is perhaps most notorious, but also in sectors like construction and textile production, spanning across the whole country. While the workforce used to comprise Italian workers, it now consists largely of migrants from countries including India, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. While technically workers arrive in Italy legally, Granato told BreakThrough News, they are exploited from their very first moments there. “To reach Italy in the first place, workers and their families are forced to take on debts. When they arrive here, they have to pay off these debts – only to often discover that the companies they were told about may not even exist or do not want to employ them, and they end up in a slavery-like situation.” The caporalato system is illegal in Italy, but trade unions warn that the implementation of legislation remains lacking. And when cases of extreme violence turn public attention to specific workers exploited under this model, rarely does the discussion address responsibility beyond the gangmaster level. Potere al Popolo insists it is crucial to move beyond this as the investigation of Qiemi, Iayjad, Khogjani, and Khan’s murder unfolds. “The two men who murdered the four farmhands were gangmasters who profited at the expense of these workers, but they were the second-to-last link in the chain,” Granato says. “Who is above them? Which companies did they work for? Which farms did they harvest strawberries on? We need to go all the way up the chain.” Read more: Thousands protest against war and cost of living crisis in Italy The response to the murder has also unmasked institutional duplicity, Granato points out. “I’m comparing the institutional reaction to the one we observed in Modena, when a 31-year-old man, an Italian citizen born to a Moroccan family, drove his car into a crowd, sending several people to the hospital. Both Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and President Sergio Mattarella rushed to the city.” “In the case of Amendolara, no one went. These four murdered farmworkers clearly do not deserve institutional outrage.” The popular response differed from the institutional one, although anti-migrant narratives and the short time allocated to organizing a local demonstration on June 6 likely impacted participation. However, in the general population “there was a great deal of outrage over this murder, over this barbarity – because not only were four people killed, but they were killed in a barbaric manner, burned alive and locked up,” Granato says. In the aftermath of the workers’ murder, Potere al Popolo and other progressive organizations are demanding a comprehensive response to the system enabling this type of crime. “Calabria cannot continue to be plagued by these atrocities as if they were natural, inevitable occurrences unrelated to politics,” Potere al Popolo Calabria wrote ahead of the protest. “They are not. They have a name: caporalato, institutional racism, class exploitation.” Ana Vračar , June 12, 2026 From BT News via This RSS Feed.

A super political action committee created to support Donald Trump is preparing to hold a big-money fundraiser at the president’s Virginia golf course that will charge attendees $1 million each. As reported by NBC News, MAGA, Inc. will host the $1 million-per-plate event at the Trump National Golf Club Washington DC on the day before the president is set to host Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) events at the White House as part of his 80th birthday celebration. “The fundraiser is at least the sixth such $1 million-per-person event held by Trump-aligned groups for the midterm elections,” reported NBC News. “Republicans at nearly all levels hold a significant midterm cash advantage over Democrats, who expect to be outpaced financially in many key House and Senate races.” Lisa Gilbert, co-president of Public Citizen, linked the ritzy fundraiser to Trump’s economic policies that have primarily benefited the wealthiest Americans at the expense of the working class. “The comingling of 250th anniversary events, Trump’s UFC fight, and a $1 million per-plate fundraiser on Trump’s own birthday,” Gilbert said, “gives corporate interests and wealthy donors not just an ultimate fight—but the ultimate opportunity to pay tribute to the president. Rather than celebrate our nation’s anniversary in the bipartisan manner directed by Congress, the Trump administration has directed public money and public property to politicized events.” “Major corporations, such as Chevron, Exxon, MasterCard, and many more,” Gilbert added, “should be ashamed to be associated with this corrupt spectacle.” The fundraiser comes as a recent study from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York showed food insecurity in the US has reached its highest levels since the Covid-19 pandemic. The New York Fed researchers said their study found “a remarkable increase in food insecurity, particularly among lower-educated and lower-income households and households with young children,” as well as “a contemporaneous increase in pessimism among the same groups, along with a sharp decline in job-finding expectations.” The researchers noted that “while many households are doing fine and economic activity overall has been expanding at a solid pace,” there are large numbers of people “facing high levels of economic insecurity and financial strain,” which has resulted in plunging overall consumer sentiment.

When invasive rats are removed from islands, the ecological benefits can ripple across both land and sea more quickly than scientists expected, according to recent research. Scientists have long assumed that meaningful recovery after the predators are eradicated would take decades. However, researchers with the U.S.-based NGO Island Conservation conducted a rat-removal experiment on Ulong Island in Palau, which provides the first experimental evidence that ecosystems can rebound far more quickly than previously expected. Until recently, rats, which are typically nocturnal, were so abundant on Ulong Island that they were regularly seen during the day. They were a nuisance to campers and deadly for wildlife. As opportunistic omnivores, rats readily prey upon seabird eggs and chicks, devastating nesting colonies on tropical islands. As a result, there were “very few nesting seabirds that we would find,” Coral Wolf, the conservation science program manager at Island Conservation, told Mongabay in a video call. To measure the effects of rat eradication, Wolf designed an experiment in which all the rats were removed from Ulong, while the rats on nearby Ngeruktabel Island remained, serving as a control site. Before the eradication, researchers collected baseline biodiversity data. On land, they recorded bird calls and took soil samples. In the surrounding water, they measured indicators like fish biomass and coral cover. One year after rats were removed, the team repeated the survey and found a dramatic improvement in the biodiversity. Freed from rat predation, seabird activity on the island surged. Detections of bridled tern (Onychoprion anaethetus) calls rose by…This article was originally published on Mongabay From Conservation news via This RSS Feed.
Sorry for going on a tangent, but what exactly are your family’s opinion on piracy? I understand that they do not agree with piracy, but why? I have never seen any common person saying no to free stuff like that.

Good info on the blocking. I do like hearing different opinions but I honestly thought it was satire at first. On the “fuck cars” crowd they are seriously barking up the wrong tree. I’m all about trains and public transportation. I take Amtrak when I can. I’d love to see more metro systems. I wish we had more walkable areas. No idea how they plan on bringing this about by picking fights with people who were never against it to begin with. Get car owners on your side, they would love less traffic, bad drivers, and more parking spots.

Sixty years ago you could graduate from high school, get a job, buy a car, get married, buy a house, buy a boat and raise kids all on one salary. People had a future to look forward to then.
I’ve struggled to be musical all my life–took lessons, took college classes, did ear training, etc. I think I finally cracked the code, and it’s surprisingly simple: Learn to play melodies by ear (starts with singing) Learn only enough theory to: know your way around your instrument (scales, arpeggios) understand chords understand song structure Experiment (ie have fun!) The most anal formal exercise I’d recommend is learning to hear relative scale degrees (two very good apps available for that)–though I think that skill would be developed by transcribing (playing by ear), it’s helpful for your confidence level to have graded exercises you can have some success with. But my experience with most of my music teachers is they fall into one of two traps: For classical music, it’s: Learn how to translate written notes into notes on your instrument. Go to 1. For instance: I was taking clarinet lessons and I remember my teacher saying goodbye to his last student–a kid–and the teacher said, “If you bring me the sheet music for it, we can learn to play it.” And I thought what a missed opportunity that was for that girl to learn to hear and transcribe music–obviously not a skill he thought was important to the teacher at all. And I’d understand now wanting to do that for piano, which is really complicated, but learning to play a melody by ear on a single note instrument is a very achievable goal, especially when you have someone that can tell you what key it’s in and what the first note is. The trap for jazz music is: Learn what are the “right” notes to play. Play them in any random order. I used to blame teachers for just being bad at their jobs, but I think students (and maybe parents/administrators) are also to blame. I ran across a senior guy who was trying to get back into piano. He’d played for a few years and it was clear he had no idea of how to be musical–no idea of how to construct a simple bass line, no knowledge of how to define a chord. So I said, “Hey, I’ll work with you even though I don’t play piano, I think you need to learn this song and just play the root and the five in the left hand, and sing the melody while you play, and use a metronome.” What an amazing exercise I thought: it would help teach him timing, develop his ear, develop his feel, let him be expressive with his voice, let him embody the melody, lear to work the bass, etc. Aren’t I brilliant teacher? You know what this guy did? He pulled out his phone to show me some recordings he did of him playing the song the way his music teacher had written it out for him; it was what I expected–just haltingly reading the music with no sense of time. I wasn’t sure, but I think he wanted me to praise him for playing such a complex piece. For him, and maybe for a lot of students (and certainly for parents and administrators), they don’t actually want to master music, they want to impress people. And maybe for the musically disinclined, haltingly playing a complex written piece is more impressive than a 2-note bassline in time with an expressive voiceline sensitive to dynamic; since most people in charge of music education (parents and school administrators) don’t know music, maybe they would promote a teacher who taught the former and fire a teacher who taught the latter… For jazz programs, I think they’ve got a lot of theory they’ve got to cram into the kids heads, and we can learn theory a lot faster than we can develop musically, so if you’re going to be judged on “performance” of your students, you’ll be rewarded for having them be able to pass essentially paper exams set to music more than for having them skillfully play pentatonic blues. I don’t know what the answer is, but for some reason, actually mastering music is very low on the list for both teachers and students. What’s all y’all’s experience with music and music education?
Bigoted and hateful. I see people in this thread vilifying mental disorders, but Nazis are way more dangerous.

Your story seems a lot like ours, except that we never got noted as gifted, instead we were noted as lazy and if only we put in the effort, we could do anything that we set our minds to. We got bullied as well and both hated school. We were also different than our peers, and in some settings much more mature than our peers, and in other way more immature than our peers. My wife and I only recently realised that we might were gifted children as well. Both of us never put any work into school, and still we ended up getting a master’s degree, without putting much effort into it. And now we are seeing both our kids being extremely intelligent in some areas, which got me worried that they would end up hating school as we did. We are comforting ourselves, that we are discovering this while the kids are pre-school age, but, right now, we don’t really know what to do about it. We are though, hopeful and optimistic about the future, because we believe we can give our kids a better life than we have had ourselves. We both appreciate our current lives a lot, but we did not get here without a lot of scars - depression, anxiety, addiction to drugs and alcohol, etc… Unmasking Autism is actually also on my reading list, but the reviews are really mixed about this book, but I think it might help me and my wife a lot, we have developed a lot of strategies to get through life, which obviously are draining us a lot. But, thank you for your reply, even though you did not have any advise. It is always nice to hear about others with similar experiences.
