(4) Comment l'Italie pousse vers la sortie le PDG de STMicroelectronics


#économie #politique #médias

L’affaire n’est pas évoquée par la presse française (1). Elle fait pourtant les gros titres de la presse italienne la plus sérieuse depuis plusieurs semaines. Et elle empoisonne la vie d’un groupe ô combien stratégique : STMicroelectronics.

Scripture Reading
Hebrews 2:9-10

We have seen Jesus crowned with glory and splendour because he submitted to death; by God’s grace he had to experience death for all mankind. As it was his purpose to bring a great many of his sons into glory, it was appropriate that God, for whom everything exists and through whom everything exists, should make perfect, through suffering, the leader who would take them to their salvation.

Déclaration du président de BWA Deutschland (Fédération pour le Développement Economique et le Commerce Extérieur allemand), Michael #Schumann, à son retour du Forum diplomatique d' #Antalya :

« Disons-le d'emblée, chaque perte de vie humaine qui survient à l'ombre de la guerre, que ce soit dans le fracas de l'artillerie ou dans l'horreur plus silencieuse des « frappes de précision », est un événement d'une tragédie implacable, une rupture dans le tissu de l'humanité qu'aucun baume rhétorique ne peut réparer. Le chagrin des personnes endeuillées, tout comme la culpabilité de ceux qui, par leur commandement ou leur silence complice, ont contribué à cette rupture, sont si profonds qu'ils pèsent lourdement sur l'âme de toutes les personnes impliquées, souvent de génération en génération.

Et pourtant, les réactions que ces tragédies suscitent dans notre conscience collective sont étrangement variées ! Lorsque des roquettes tombent sur #Sumy, que des #enfants périssent et que des familles sont anéanties, un concert d'indignation s'élève rapidement dans les capitales européennes, amplifié par les gros titres, les commentaires et les déclarations d'hommes d'État. Mais lorsque des horreurs similaires se produisent à #Gaza - avec une régularité qui engourdit la conscience et perpétrées par des dirigeants de nations que nous appelons amis ou partenaires - ces mêmes voix se taisent ou, au mieux, se retranchent dans le murmure feutré des platitudes diplomatiques, comme si l'innommable pouvait être rendu tolérable par une dérobade polie.

Je reviens d'une conférence en Turquie, à laquelle participaient de nombreux représentants des nations arabes. Des personnes cultivées, lucides, dont les questions n'étaient pas le fruit d'un ressentiment, mais d'une aspiration sincère à la cohérence morale. Ils se sont interrogés, non sans amertume, mais avec raison : Où est l'indignation de l'Europe face à la souffrance de leur partie du monde ?

Ce qui se révèle ici - et c'est un phénomène d'une importance profondément troublante - c'est une distorsion de la perception, à la fois dans les #médias et dans la #société en général : une hiérarchie silencieuse et rampante de la souffrance humaine, qui nous amène à distinguer les victimes du premier ordre de celles du second. Je crains que cela ne soit pas sans conséquences. Car une fois que la justice est relativisée, elle tend à reculer - et l'accusation portée contre nous, qui l'avons relativisée, reviendra un jour avec une force redoublée, comme tout ce qui a été étouffé, et viendra nous hanter au prix fort. »

Yankee Imperialism Intends to Send Troops to the Panama Canal


Donald Trump announced on April 10 that he would send troops to the Panama Canal under the guise of confronting the growing Chinese influence in the region. Nova Democracia (AND) reports that the announcement came two days after Peter Hegseth, the U.S. Secretary of Defense, stated that he would not allow China or any other country to interfere with U.S. plans for the canal. On Wednesday, he stated: “The Panama Canal is key territory that must be secured by Panama with America, and not with China.” The Panama Canal handles 40 percent of U.S. imperialist container trade and 5 percent of global trade.

The exact number of troops to be sent to Panama is still unknown, but AND reports that they may be stationed near the Canal, and warships will be able to use the canal for free and with priority. According to local media, U.S. troops may use several other facilities to deploy their forces: The Teniente Octavio Rodríguez Air Base of the National Aeronaval Service located in Panama Pacific; the Vasco Núñez de Balboa naval base; the naval base Captain of Frigate DEM. Noel A. Rodríguez; the Cristóbal Colón Naval Air Base.

The agreement reached by the Panamanian lackey government led by President José Raúl Mulino with U.S. imperialism has been strongly criticized by activists and local movements, who denounce that this movement is an invasion. There were already strong protests and flag burnings when Trump announced his interest in securing control of the Panama Canal earlier this year.

AND reminds Panama’s key role for U.S. imperialist interests: “The Panama Canal functioned as a military and commercial base controlled by the Americans until 1999, when, worn down after decades of conflicts against the popular masses of Central America, the Yankees handed over formal control of the route to the Panamanian government. Panama was also home to the School of the Americas, a U.S. military center run by the Pentagon to train Latin American military personnel in counterinsurgency strategies and combatting the ‘internal enemy‘. ” Furthermore, AND explains that this return of U.S. military presence occurs “amid intense conflicts of interest between U.S. imperialism and Chinese social-imperialism,” in which the latter has carried out numerous operations and added several countries to its project known as the “New Silk Road.” Thus, U.S. imperialism is making this move alongside other actions such as military exercises in Latin American countries and along the coasts of Central and South America, as well as direct military interventions in Peru and Colombia.

Où RSF opère un retrait posthume de leur carte professionnelle aux journalistes palestiniens


Jacques-Marie BOURGET

Reporters Sans Frontières (RSF) a toutes les audaces, tous les culots. Les « salauds ça ose tout, c’est à ça qu’on les reconnaît ». L’assertion du type Bernard Blier marche pour eux en changeant le premier mot. Voilà une « ONG » qui n’en est pas une, puisqu’elle a avec constance touché de l’argent des USA et d’Israël, voilà qu’en novembre, dans son « Bilan Annuel de la liberté de la presse dans le monde », elle refuse de compter les journalistes assassinés par Israël à Gaza ! En effet pour RSF les martyrs de presse Palestiniens ne sont pas de « vrais journalistes ». Du type Robert Ménard.

Et voilà qu’aujourd’hui, à Paris et à Marseille, cette OG (organisation Gouvernementale) rejoint l’appel d’une cohorte d’honnêtes gens pour protester contre les crimes israéliens commis contre les journalistes à Gaza ! Faut vraiment être culotté.

Nous avons eu la preuve par Trump que RSF est un mistigri piloté par les US : RSF a protesté contre la coupure des crédits exigée par le blondinet qui règne à la Maison Blanche. Cette pleurnicherie était un aveu, Washington ne verse plus de sous aux héritiers de Ménard ce qui « met en danger la liberté de la presse ». Disent-ils. Il faut entendre ou lire ce paradoxe pour le croire. Donc, puisque Trump garde ses sous, la puce change d’âne et RSF entend taper la caisse de l’Europe (qui lui verse déjà un million d’euro par an).

Résumons. RSF a vécu de l’argent américain et israélien, et un peu des largesse de Bongo. En Echange RSF a toujours très bien classé Israël dans son « Palmarès mondial de la démocratie », et tant pis pour les journalistes Palestiniens, et quelques occidentaux, assassinés par Tel Aviv. Miracle et nouveau marketing, cette engeance que Macron à naguère nommée pour assurer la police au sein de la presse, s’en vient pleureur sur Gaza. Ménard reviens ils sont devenus fous !

[…] An IDF investigation offers no assurance that the truth will be revealed − if anything, it signals the likelihood of a whitewash. It would be just one more in a long line of military investigations opened since the war began, none of which has led to indictments.

When planning a bathroom renovation, selecting the right tiles is a key decision that will impact the space for years. Italian tiles have become a popular choice due to their exceptional qualities and versatility.

Here’s why Italian tiles are an excellent option and what to consider before purchasing them.

1. Superior Durability


Italian tiles are known for their superior durability. Whether you choose porcelain or ceramic, these tiles are fired at high temperatures, making them resistant to everyday wear and tear. They can withstand water, heat, and cleaning products without cracking or fading.

In a bathroom, durability is essential. With constant exposure to moisture, foot traffic, and cleaning chemicals, you need tiles that will last without showing signs of deterioration.

2. Timeless and Stylish Designs


Italian tiles are celebrated for their timeless and stylish designs. They often feature soft tones, matte finishes, and subtle textures that remain fashionable over time. Whether your bathroom design is modern or classic, Italian tiles offer a variety of styles to suit your taste.

Many Italian tiles also mimic the appearance of stone or marble, providing a luxurious look without the high maintenance of natural stone.

3. Easy Maintenance


Italian tiles are typically low-porosity, meaning they resist water absorption. This feature reduces the risk of mold and stains, making cleaning a breeze. A simple mop is often all you need to keep them looking pristine.

4. Variety of Sizes


Italian tiles come in a wide range of sizes, including innovative formats like longer planks or slim rectangles. These options can visually expand a narrow bathroom or make a small space feel larger.

Smaller tiles also offer more grip, which is beneficial in wet areas like showers. Opting for mosaic-style Italian tiles with more grout lines can help minimize the risk of slipping.

Italian tiles are versatile enough for both floors and walls. They are durable enough to withstand foot traffic yet light enough for wall installation, allowing for a cohesive design throughout your bathroom.

7. Excellent Slip Resistance


Bathrooms are prone to wet conditions, making slip resistance a critical feature. Many Italian tiles have textured or matte finishes designed for wet environments. Look for tiles with high slip resistance ratings (R10 or above) for areas like shower floors.

8. Eco-Friendly Options


Some Italian tile manufacturers prioritize sustainability by using recycled materials and minimizing waste. They adhere to strict EU environmental standards, making Italian tiles a responsible choice for eco-friendly renovations.

9. Budget-Friendly Choices


While Italian bathroom tiles are often associated with luxury, they are available in a range of prices. Not all options will strain your budget. Considering their durability and low maintenance, the overall cost of ownership is reduced.

Discuss your budget with your tiles supplier to find options that fit your financial plan. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Tips for Choosing Italian Tiles for Your Bathroom


  • Opt for matte finishes on floors for better grip.
  • Use larger tiles in small spaces to minimize grout lines.
  • Stick to neutral colors for a calming, timeless look.
  • Check the PEI rating; ideally, choose at least PEI 3 or 4 for bathrooms.
  • Consult your supplier for guidance on the best tiles for your space.


Conclusion


Choosing tiles is about more than aesthetics; it’s about ensuring your bathroom functions well and stands the test of time. Italian tiles offer durability, low maintenance, timeless style, and safety, making them a favored choice for homeowners and designers alike.

Next time you visit a tiles supplier, explore the Italian section. You might discover tiles that enhance your bathroom’s appearance and functionality for years to come.

"Israel Has A Right To Defend Itself" Is A Genocidal Slogan
C. #Johnstone

Bernie #Sanders has been repeatedly uttering the phrase “Israel has a right to defend itself” on his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour with Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, which in the year 2025 can only be interpreted as blatant genocide apologia.

#Israel does not have “a right to defend itself” against an occupied population in a giant concentration camp. Under international law it has a right to end the occupation, and that’s it. “Israel has a right to defend itself” is just a slogan people say when they want to justify supplying an ongoing genocide.

At one point in the tour Sanders stood passively watching as police dragged off rally attendees who draped a Free #Palestine flag over the #US flag during his speech. He just awkwardly continued monologuing as their flag was confiscated and they were forcibly removed, even as the crowd booed and eventually began chanting “Free Palestine”. [...]

The game received an overwhelming amount of favorable feedback. The game's original success was maintained by its refined design, challenging gameplay, and rhythmic synchronization with music. Concurrently, it introduced a new Geometry Dash SubZero generation of mobile gamers to the Geometry Dash universe. Its free-to-play nature also made it immensely popular among younger gamers and in schools, where they may not have had access to the full version.

The real source of the conflict
Hatred against Jews instigated by Islam; it has NOTHING to do with land or rights or oppression. It's just that Muslims want to kill Jews, because Islam tells them to.
At best, they are tolerated - like Christians -if they submit to Muslims as Dhimmis, semi-slaves, but Jews having their own country in what Muslims consider "conquered Islamic land"? That's just not acceptable, to them.
They feel exactly the same about Spain!
The terrorists behind the Madrid train bombing, in which about 400 people died, used the justification that Spain was a Muslim country that is "occupied by Christians".

@Witch Hunter Siegfried @Bichaelangelo 🚲 Cutting peoples sex bits off instead of getting them the mental health care they need when they suffer gender dysphoria is not "Gender Affirming", it is "De-Gendering", cutting peoples sex bits off doesn't change their gender to the opposite gender, it changes their gender into no-gender rendering them incapable of of reproduction, incapable of ever knowing the joy of having children in a family of their own, and doing this to children who are too young to have firmly established their identity and who are easily confused is the ultimate abomination and people who do this should be summarily executed.

Urban vs Remote: Tailoring Dry Mix Plants for Different Australian Regions


When it comes to deploying dry mix concrete plants across Australia, the question isn't simply one of size or power—it’s about fit. The urban sprawl of Sydney has little in common with the rugged terrains of outback Queensland, and treating them the same is a costly mistake. Each region brings its own operational rhythm, logistical quirks, and environmental demands. Success hinges on how well the dry mix concrete plant adapts—not just to the scale of construction, but to the pulse of the place.

Urban Efficiency: Optimizing Dry Mix Plants for City Infrastructure


In major Australian cities, space is a luxury and time is currency. Urban dry mix plants must be designed to maximize throughput while minimizing footprint. Compact vertical silo arrangements, automated batching controls, and precise material dosing systems are not just beneficial—they’re non-negotiable.

These metropolitan setups operate under constant pressure. Construction timelines are tight, regulations are stricter, and every decibel of noise or dust plume draws attention. Plants must meet noise suppression standards, implement effective dust extraction units, and often incorporate real-time emission monitoring. Material deliveries must be coordinated with city traffic schedules, and loading activities are often squeezed into overnight slots to avoid daytime congestion.

Despite these constraints, urban dry mix plants must deliver large volumes of concrete reliably and consistently. High-output twin shaft mixers and conveyor-fed silos are typically favored here, ensuring a continuous supply to multiple job sites across the city.

Remote Resilience: Custom Solutions for Isolated and Harsh Conditions


Now shift to a mining township in Western Australia or a small infrastructure project nestled in the Kimberley. The landscape changes—and so do the rules of engagement. Remote dry mix plant solutions aren’t just about performance; they’re about survivability and independence.

Here, modularity becomes a critical asset. Dry mix batching plant in Australia must be broken down, transported over long distances—often by flatbed truck or even barge—and reassembled with minimal local resources. Containerized designs with pre-wired panels and plug-and-play systems accelerate installation and reduce reliance on specialized technicians.

Dust storms, temperature extremes, and limited water availability further complicate the picture. Remote plants are often equipped with closed-loop water recycling systems, oversized dust filters, and insulated enclosures to guard against heat fatigue. Fuel autonomy also matters—a generator-ready system or solar-assist configuration can make or break operational continuity in areas far from grid access.

Labor force limitations demand simplicity. Remote operators often juggle multiple roles. Therefore, intuitive control panels, remote diagnostics, and minimal manual calibration are essential features.

Regional Realities: Striking the Right Balance


Ultimately, whether urban or remote, dry mix plants must match local rhythms of demand and availability. Overbuilding capacity in a low-demand area leads to idle equipment and wasted resources. Underbuilding in a booming corridor risks bottlenecks and project delays.

For regional hubs and mixed development zones, a hybrid approach may be ideal. A mobile batching plant that can ramp up output during peak seasons and scale down during slower periods offers the agility needed in a dynamic economic landscape.

Workforce training also deserves focused investment. Operators in both urban and remote areas benefit from localized training modules, tailored to the plant's automation level, material types, and safety protocols. Additionally, proactive maintenance planning—such as integrating predictive analytics and remote support tools—helps avoid downtime, especially in isolated regions where spare parts can take days to arrive.

Tailoring dry mix plants is not just an engineering task—it’s a strategic decision that recognizes the geographic, cultural, and operational diversity of Australia. When these plants are configured with empathy for their environment and efficiency for their purpose, they become more than just machines. They become enablers of progress across every corner of the continent.

Making the Right Decision: Crane Outrigger Repair or Replacement


Crane outriggers are vital for ensuring stability during heavy lifting operations. These hydraulic arms are built to withstand significant stress, but they can wear down over time. The critical decision is whether to repair a damaged outrigger or replace

Crane outriggers are vital for ensuring stability during heavy lifting operations. These hydraulic arms are built to withstand significant stress, but they can wear down over time. The critical decision is whether to repair a damaged outrigger or replace it entirely. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you decide.

Understanding the Importance


Outriggers are load-bearing components, and their failure is not just a mechanical issue but a serious safety hazard. This can result in equipment damage, project delays, and potential injuries. Therefore, the decision to repair or replace is not solely about cost—it’s about safety.

1. Conduct a Thorough Inspection


Begin with a detailed visual inspection. Look for:

  • Cracks in the metal
  • Warped or bent beams
  • Hydraulic fluid leaks
  • Signs of corrosion
  • Weld separation
  • Worn pads

These issues should not be ignored. Even small cracks can expand under stress, and leaks won’t resolve themselves.

2. Assess the Damage Severity


Here’s a guide to help determine whether an issue is repairable or requires replacement:

✅ Repairable:
- Minor surface rust, if structural integrity isn’t compromised
- Hydraulic seal leaks, provided cylinders and rods are intact
- Damaged outrigger pads, which are easily replaceable
- Loose fittings or bolts, which can be tightened or replaced

❌ Replacement Required:
- Cracks in critical welds or structural steel, especially in high-stress areas
- Bent outrigger beams, as straightening can weaken them further
- Severe corrosion, compromising metal integrity
- Hydraulic cylinders with pitting or scored rods, risking pressure failure
- Repeated failures, indicating that patching is no longer viable

3. Consider Operational Demands


A crane used for light, infrequent lifts has a different risk profile than one used intensively on construction sites. The heavier the workload, the greater the stress on the outriggers, reducing the margin for error. Consider:

  • Is the outrigger meeting performance needs?
  • Has the crane operated beyond manufacturer load specifications?
  • Is the terrain uneven or challenging?
  • If risks are high, replacement is often the safer option.


4. Evaluate Downtime and Costs


Cost is a consideration, but think beyond just the price of new versus repaired outriggers. Consider:

  • Downtime – how long will the crane be out of service?
  • Labor – how complex is the repair?
  • Long-term reliability – will the repair last?

Sometimes repairs seem cheaper initially but lead to higher costs if the crane fails again soon after. This is where a trusted crane parts supplier is invaluable, providing access to quality crane parts that last, avoiding a cycle of short-term fixes.

5. Insist on Certified Parts


Never compromise with low-quality replacements. Outriggers are integral to the crane’s safety system. Using cheap, uncertified components is risky and often voids warranties. Instead, work with a crane parts supplier who provides quality crane parts that meet or exceed OEM standards.

6. Seek Professional Advice


Experienced operators and maintenance crews follow a straightforward rule: If you’re not 100% confident in the structural integrity, replace it. Repairs are suitable for minor issues, but for structural or hydraulic concerns, replacement is the responsible choice.

Final Checklist: Repair or Replace?


  • Minor leak: ✅ Repair
  • Surface rust: ✅ Repair
  • Bent beam: ❌ Replace
  • Cracked weld: ❌ Replace
  • Cylinder damage: ❌ Replace
  • Pad wear: ✅ Repair
  • Repeated failure: ❌ Replace
  • Safety concerns: ❌ Replace


Conclusion


If the damage is minor and predictable, repair is feasible. However, if there’s any doubt about safety or structural integrity, replacement is the prudent choice. Partnering with a reliable crane parts supplier ensures access to quality crane parts, keeping equipment safe and crews protected. In this industry, that’s paramount.

Need Reliable Parts?


Whether repairing or replacing an outrigger, start with the right Manitowoc crane parts. Ensure they are durable and prioritize quality over cost-cutting. Let your equipment work as hard as you do.

Psalms 119:9-12, 18-19 📖

How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.

With my whole heart, I have sought you. Don’t let me wander from your commandments.

I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
Blessed are you, Yahweh. Teach me your statutes.

Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things out of your law.

I am a stranger on the earth. Don’t hide your commandments from me.

"Feb 19th, 2025, I am 75 yrs old. I started having arthritic pain in my thumbs. I just got my nicotin patches in the mail. I put a 1/4 of a piece on my left thumb. It took about one hour to start working. I couldn't pick up my coffee cup yesterday, and I just picked my cup up with no pain. I am in Mexico and ordered them because Trudope has taken them off the market in Canada."
