Portugal is quietly deporting 18,000 undocumented immigrants just days before its May 18 election. Most are from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal, workers who harvest crops, clean homes, build infrastructure. The same people who kept the economy running during COVID-19 are now being kicked out due to the state’s own bureaucratic delays. At the same time, Portugal celebrates itself as a hub for digital nomads, opening borders to the privileged, while deporting essential workers in silence. This is Fortress Europe — where economic value is extracted from people of color, then discarded. Where the hardworking poor are punished, while the rich and privileged are rewarded. 🔻 We say: Stop the deportations. Regularise all undocumented workers. Dignity and justice — for everyone, not just the rich. #europe #portugal #migration #migrants #digitalnomad #lisbon #porto #democracy #humanrights #housingmarket #housing #crisis #poverty

India and Pakistan are both declaring victory after a US-brokered ceasefire called time on a skirmish which brought two nuclear powers to the brink of war. Several days of escalating clashes reached a dangerous flashpoint, with both countries launching missile and drone strikes on major military bases. Both sides are praising President Trump and Marco Rubio for diffusing the tensions; the US reportedly leveraged trade deals with both of them to get it done. And both sides say they have asserted their military superiority over the other. The questions now are will the ceasefire hold and for how long? Is Trump’s cavalier trade policy an important weapon for peace? And after days of an intensive propaganda offensive by both sides, who is right? Piers Morgan speaks to General Wesley Sharp before hosting a robust debate between former Foreign Minister of Pakistan, Hina Khar, author and Washington Post columnist Barkha Dutt, host of 'The Ranveer Show' Ranveer Allahbadia and Shehzad Ghias Shaikh from 'The Pakistan Experience'.

In 2017 onderzochten we de biomassa-industrie, omdat het verbranden van hout volgens overheden nodig is om de Europese klimaatdoelen voor duurzame energie te halen. Maar toen al klonken er kritische geluiden. Experts waarschuwden dat houtstook allerminst klimaatneutraal is. Sterker nog: op korte termijn zorgt het volgens hen juist voor méér CO2 in de atmosfeer.

Five people just saw a color no one had ever seen before. Here’s how. In the back of your eye are special cells that let us see color - cones. There are three kinds, each sensitive to different wavelengths of light. So if you make a map of the relative activity of each of the cone types, you can see the natural range of colors our eyes see. Weirdly, there’s no natural color that stimulates only one of the types of cones - because its sensitivity curve overlaps completely with the others, so another cone type is always also activated. Scientists at UC Berkeley just created a device that images where the cone cells in a person’s retina are and then stimulates individual ones using tiny amounts of laser light while compensating for any motion. They were able to stimulate JUST the M cone cells. In other words, they created a brand new color. I haven't seen it (of course) but they say it appears blue-green but is way more saturated than you could see normally... The goal is to learn more about how we see color, one day correct colorblindness... and seeing more colors is pretty cool.

In this candid interview, former Australian Foreign Minister Gareth Evans explains why America and the West must abandon arrogance and adapt to the redistribution of global influence across Asia and the Global South. Being a good international citizen means working collaboratively with Global Majority countries as equal partners in global governance. The era of Western powers unilaterally establishing global norms is over. Genuine partnership with rising powers is the only sustainable path forward. 👉Dive deep into history at https://jeffrich.substack.com V I D E O S T O W A T C H N E X T: Pascal Lottaz and Warwick Powell: How to Make Sense of the Fast-Changing World of Geopolitics https://youtu.be/2uGFC4jZa-0 Peace After NATO: Glenn Diesen on Ukraine, Eurasia, Australia, and the Danger of Alliances https://youtu.be/GsTVBK3Sqns "No going back to American dominance of Asia" | Security Expert Interview on Trump 2.0 https://youtu.be/UudJoMSb35k -------------------------------------------- ➡️ Want to get guides to history and geopolitics?

From the flooded battlefields of the Scheldt Estuary to the final crossing of the Rhine, this powerful documentary charts the Allies' relentless push into Nazi-occupied Europe during the final months of World War II. In October 1944, Canadian forces face brutal resistance in the flooded lowlands around Antwerp. By November, American troops are thrown into the deadly Hürtgen Forest, nicknamed the “Death Factory,” where exhaustion and trauma take a heavy toll. December sees Hitler’s last major gamble, the surprise Ardennes Offensive, triggering the bloodiest battle fought by US forces in the war. As 1945 dawns, Allied forces reach the River Rhine. While Montgomery plans a massive crossing in the north, American troops seize a lucky breakthrough at the Remagen bridge. With expert analysis and gripping personal testimony from veterans, this episode tells the story of courage, endurance, and sacrifice, and of those fortunate enough to return home. https://youtu.be/N15kmvnVbTA -- Welcome to the official Get.factual youtube channel! 🌍 We are a documentary streaming channel covering history, science, technology, and nature.

If you were to observe this engine from the outside you might be tempted to think how it’s just a big single cylinder….but if you lift the cylinder head inside you would find not one, but FOUR pistons packed into a square, hence the name. Square four. This engine configuration is in fact the most compact way possible to arrange four cylinders. It is as narrow as a two cylinder which means that it’s esseenetially half the length of an inline four while at the same time being noticeably shorter than a V-twin. And it achieves all of this while being very smooth and well balanced. Despite these important benefits this engine configuration never became widespread or popular and today it’s largely forgotten, but I think that it deserves a comeback because today we can easily manufacture something that we couldn’t back in the 40’s and 50s when this engine was alive. As you can see what this engine essentially is two 180 degree twin cylinders fused together into a single cylinder block. But these two twins are not mirror images of each other. As you can see when this piston of this pair goes up the opposing piston of the other pair goes down. The result is that diagonally opposed pistons go up and down together. And this tells us that one crankshaft trails the other by 180 degrees of phase shift. So we have two cylinders going up and two cylinders going down together, does this remind you of any other engine configuration? Yes, the inline four also has two pistons going up and two going down and this means that the square four fires every 180 degrees of engine rotation just like the inline four, giving an even firing interval which contributes to a smooth sound and feeling of the engine. But despite the equal firing interval the different anatomy of the square four forces a different exhaust pipe configuration giving the square four a very interesting soundtrack. What about engine balance? As we know primary balance or imbalance primarily stems from the mass of the piston and in the square four, just like in the inline four, when two pistons are at top dead cetner and creating and upward force the other two pistons are at bottom dead center creating a downward force so the two up cancel out with the two down and we have perfect primary balance, just like in the inline four. Almost Whenever you take something and spin it at very high speed, such as a crankshaft, you are creating a gyroscopic effect. This is the reason why certain Ducati V4 motorcycles have a counter-rotating crankshaft. Now in a square four we have two crankshafts. They are geared together which means that they are spinning in opposite directions and that means that the gyroscopic effect or torque of one crankshaft cancels out the other leading to a net zero gyroscopic effect resulting in a more agile motorcycle with better steering feel when ridden at the limit. But here’s the ace up the square four’s sleeve! If we choose to replace the two 180 degree inline twos with two 270 degree inline twos the square four can achieve perfect primary and secondary balance with only four cylinders. In a 270 degree twin when 1 cylinder is at top dead center the other is at mid stroke. So if we implement that into a square four we would have two pistons at top dead center and the other two at mid stroke. That means two primary forces pointing up and no primary forces at mid-stroke because that’s when the piston has achieved peak velocity, it’s not accelerating or decelrating hence no force. This means that we now have imperfect primary balance. But remember, we have two crankshafts and primary vibrations occur at the speed of the crank which means that we can easily restore perfect primary balance with crankshaft counterweights. When it comes to secondary balance it’s perfect out of the box. Secondary forces point up at top dead center and down at mid-stroke which means that on a 270 degree twin they simply cancel out and would do the same thing on the square four. They would create a very slight rotating couple, but honestly it’s so small that it’s not worth mentioning.
