Anyone know how much it would cost to commission a hard-cover version of "Industrial Society and Its Future" with a hollowed out section sized to fit modern cell phones?

Perhaps there could be a deluxe edition where the hollowed out section is also a faraday cage?

Der Moment, in dem Präsident #Trump aufhörte, über die #Impfstoffe zu sprechen


Trump fragte John Rich: „Warum buhen mich die Leute bei meinen Kundgebungen aus, wenn ich die Impfstoffe anspreche?“

Er sagte zu #Trump: „Wir, das amerikanische Volk, trauen den Leuten nicht, denen du damals vertrauen musstest, als das passiert ist. Die #FDA, die #CDC, das #NIH, die #WHO, #Fauci und all die anderen.

Herr Präsident, wir halten sie für einen Haufen mörderischer, entvölkerungsfeindlicher Psychopathen....

Hier ist das Problem, warum sie dich ausbuhen. Weil jeder Mensch auf dieser Kundgebung entweder selbst jemanden kennt oder jemanden kennt, der durch den Impfstoff geschädigt wurde oder gestorben ist. Ich habe gesagt, dass ich Mitglieder meiner Familie kenne, die gegen ihren Willen geimpft wurden, um ihren Job zu behalten, und die jetzt alle möglichen Probleme haben...

Er (Trump) sagte: „Unglaublich.“

I hate, when people use the dictionary definitions instead of using the 3 brain cells to tell me their definition on spot.

This leads to people literally being incapable of forming any kind od a cohesive sentence.

> I am a feminist, because I believe, that men and women are equal....
They saw while standing in a protest to change the current laws to make them equal. Wow... Really?

> I believe that trans people are real.
So do nazis. They just don't wish them to be...

Is it really so hard, to unironically speak?

Labour will bury British Steel, not save it

The nation that invented modern steelmaking would become the only G7 nation incapable of producing ‘primary’ or ‘virgin’ steel.

Of course, many factors that have battered the British steel industry are beyond the government’s control, from China’s ‘dumping’ of cheap steel on global markets to Donald Trump’s tariffs. Yet the overwhelming source of today’s crisis in UK steelmaking is the extortionate cost of energy and of environmental policy.

Scripture Reading
Jeremiah 11:19-20

I was like a trustful lamb being led to the slaughter-house, not knowing the schemes they were plotting against me, ‘Let us destroy the tree in its strength, let us cut him off from the land of the living, so that his name may be quickly forgotten!’ But you, Lord of Hosts, who pronounce a just sentence, who probe the loins and heart, let me see the vengeance you will take on them, for I have committed my cause to you.

A bombshell new study has revealed that tens of millions of people have been exposed to toxic waste as a result of the push to transition to “green” energy.

The report warns of the devastating impacts of the reckless transition to “green” energy.

The demand for mining for minerals needed for electric-powered vehicle batteries has polluted 500,000km of rivers and destroyed 16 million acres of farmland.

The researchers found that 23 million people worldwide, as well as 5.72 million in livestock, over 16 million acres of irrigated farmland, and over 297,800 miles worth of rivers, have been contaminated by mining’s toxic byproducts seeping into the water.

Gospel Quartette Outlaws der 1940?
Eine der unterschätztesten Musikrichtungen ist der Gospel, der Gospel Quartette auf der sog. "Gospel Road". Man kann, denke ich, sagen, das waren "Boy Groups" mit enorm aufgeladener, sexueller Show. Wenn man sich z.B. die live Aufnahmen der Soul Strirres mit dem sehr jungen Sam Cooke anhört und die Mädels im Publikum schreien hört, besteht über den sexuellen Aspekt kein Zweifel. Christliche Musik war seit jeher ein Vehikel für sehr unanständige Inhalte oder als Ausdruck von Rebellion oder Freiheitskampf. besonders eindrucksvoll war das bei der Schwarzen Bevölkerung der USA ausgeprägt.

Soul Strirres sind deshalb besonders interessant, da sie zum einen den damals unbekannten Sam Cooke als Lead hatten und zum anderen, da sie direkt den Übergang von Gospel zu Soul markieren.

So direkt dass ein und dasselbe Lied, einmal als Christliche Hymne "Wonderful" und einmal als Schlafzimmer singsang "Lovable" aufgenaommen wurden - beide großartig!

CAMPS DE TORTURE ET OTAGES - OÙ SONT LES PAYS 'DÉMOCRATIQUES'


Les pays occidentaux répriment les mouvements pro-palestinien, les accusants d'anti-sémitisme, tout en ignorant les crimes contre l'humanité de l'état d'Israël et la montée de l'extrême-droite.
Déja dix-huit mois que le génocide en Palestine se poursuit et toujours la Suisse et autres pays de l'occident se rendent complices.
Qui plus est, la CICAD (association principale de défense contre l'anti-sémitisme en Suisse) choisi de dénoncer les mouvements pro-palestiniens et anti-fascistes, plutôt que les rassemblement d'extrême-droite explicitement anti-sémite.
Ceci démontre que tout le support pour l'Israël n'est pas un support pour les juifs eux-mêmes, mais fais parti d'une politique impérialiste et raciste dont le but est de rabattre toute résistance aux projet néo-coloniale d'apartheid Sioniste.
En effet, bien que la nation d'Israël existe au sein du Moyen-Orient, elle est traitée comme si elle n'en fait pas partie, son existence un paradoxe qui ne se justifie que par le fait qu'elle n'est pas sensée faire partie de la même communauté que les autres peuples qui vivent autour d'elle.
Pour poursuivre et renforcer cette appartée, les Israëliens multiplies les crimes contre l'humanité, comme démontre le rapport de B'Tselem 'Welcome to Hell' ('Bienvenu en Enfer' en anglais'), utilisants des camps de torture si meurtrier qu'ils sont dénoncés en tant que véritable 'zones de mort' où se font pratiqués enfermement d'otages nus dans des petites cages, battages, tortures, viols, attaques avec des chiens, buvage d'eau de toilette forcé et privation de sommeil et soins.
Au moins soixante-trois prisonniers, dont l'un agé de pas plus que dix-sept ans, ont pus être confirmés mourirs sous la torture et maltraitance. Il a aussi été confirmé que l'état d'Israël garde les cadavres en otages pour les négotiations et que le prélèvement forcé d'organe est pratiqué sur des otages qui sont au moins un millions à toujours être détenus sans procès, ni chef d'accusation.
Le support continu que la Suisse et autres pays donnent à l'Israël constitue un accessoire aux crimes contre l'humanité perpétrés et doivent cesser au plus vite.
Les demandes des mouvements pro-palestiniens sont simples. Les pays dit 'démocratiques' doivent montrer qu'ils sont véritablement du coté de la démocratie en rompant leurs lien avec l'Israël et mettre un embargo sur tout les exports d'armes envers l'état d'Israël, demander la libération de tous les otages retenus dans les prisons et camps de torture Israëliens et la fin de l'impunité d'Israël, qui doit être traduit en justice ainsi que ses dirigeant et jugé coupable pour crimes contre l'humanité et génocide.
Jusqu'à ce que ceci soit fait, les manifestations continueront et toutes formes de répressions ne feront qu'aider la montée de l'extrême-droite anti-sémite qui déjà prends avantages de la politique répressive pour justifier les répressions des autres droits démocratiques.
Le Sionisme est ainsi un ennemi des juifs et non un allié. On entends déjà parler de comment la répression des juifs anti-sioniste est pratiqué et comment ils sont traités de 'juifs qui détestent les leurs'.
Mais la question est qui détestent les juifs véritablement ?
Ceux qui appellent à la liberté et vie pour tous, ou ceux qui supportent une politique qui les ostracises et supporte un mouvement qui font d'eux une cible.
Quelque soit le cas, même si la répression continue et même si les états pensent pouvoir sévir en toute impunité. Personne n'oubliera le génocide, ni les vies perdues pendant ou la complicité des états.
Tant que cette mémoire vivra la lutte continuera.

What Are the Differences in Construction Aggregate Sizes Used for Different Projects?


Construction aggregates play a crucial role in the building and infrastructure industry. These materials, which include sand, gravel, crushed stone, and other types of rock, are processed into different sizes depending on the specific requirements of the project. The size of the aggregate influences its use in concrete mixes, road construction, drainage systems, and more. In this article, we will explore the various aggregate sizes commonly used in construction and how they differ based on the nature of the project. Additionally, we will look at the equipment used to process these aggregates, such as the aggregate crusher plant(planta procesadora de agregados) and primary stone crusher.

Understanding Aggregate Sizes


Aggregates are classified based on their size, and different projects require different sizes to achieve the desired performance. The size of the aggregate affects the strength, durability, and stability of the final structure. The following are some common aggregate sizes used in construction:

Fine Aggregates (Sand)


Fine aggregates are typically composed of particles smaller than 5 mm in diameter. The most common fine aggregate is sand, which is widely used in concrete production and as a base material for paving. Fine aggregates are essential for filling the spaces between larger aggregates, providing strength and stability to the concrete mixture.

In construction, fine aggregates are often used for projects requiring smooth, stable surfaces such as pavements, floor slabs, and mortar. Fine aggregates are also used in road construction and for backfilling projects. The sand is usually obtained through mining or dredging, then processed using equipment such as a pebble crusher(trituradora de piedra de rio) to remove impurities and reduce the size of larger stones.

Coarse Aggregates (Gravel and Crushed Stone)


Coarse aggregates are particles larger than 5 mm in diameter and include materials like gravel, crushed stone, and other types of rock. These aggregates are crucial for providing the bulk and strength of concrete, and they are used in the production of ready-mix concrete, road foundations, and rail track construction.

The size of coarse aggregates can range from small gravel to large boulders, with common sizes including:


  • 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch (12 mm to 19 mm)
  • 3/4 inch to 1 inch (19 mm to 25 mm)
  • 1 inch to 2 inches (25 mm to 50 mm)
  • Over 2 inches (50 mm and above)

For road base and sub-base layers, larger aggregates are often used for their strength and ability to withstand heavy loads. Smaller coarse aggregates are used for producing concrete, where consistency and workability are more important. These aggregates are crushed and sorted using an aggregate crusher plant to ensure uniform size and quality.

Specific Uses for Different Sizes of Coarse Aggregates


Different sizes of coarse aggregates are suited to different applications in construction. Here's how specific sizes are typically used:

1/2 inch to 3/4 inch (12 mm to 19 mm)


This size is commonly used for producing high-strength concrete. It is ideal for medium to large-scale construction projects such as buildings, bridges, and roads where durability and stability are essential.

3/4 inch to 1 inch (19 mm to 25 mm)


Aggregates in this range are often used in the production of concrete for large infrastructure projects, including highways and airport runways, where load-bearing capacity is critical.

1 inch to 2 inches (25 mm to 50 mm)


This size of aggregate is typically used in road base applications, as the larger stone helps to provide a stable foundation for roads and other large construction projects. It is also used for drainage applications where water needs to flow freely through the aggregate material.

Over 2 inches (50 mm and above)


For projects requiring a high degree of structural strength, aggregates larger than 2 inches are used. These are often utilized in the construction of dams, embankments, and other massive infrastructure projects.

The Role of Crushers in Processing Aggregates


To obtain the correct sizes of aggregates, raw materials need to be processed through crushing plants. Crushers play a pivotal role in breaking down larger stones into smaller, more usable sizes. Different types of crushers, including the primary stone crusher(chancadora primaria), are used depending on the size and type of the material being processed.

Primary Stone Crushers


A primary stone crusher is the first step in the aggregate production process. These crushers are designed to handle large materials, typically between 24 inches (600 mm) and 48 inches (1200 mm) in size. The primary crusher reduces large rocks into smaller pieces that can then be processed further in secondary crushers to achieve the desired final size. Primary crushers typically use mechanical compression, such as jaw or gyratory crushers, to break down the rocks.

The primary stone crusher is critical in the production of all sizes of aggregates. It ensures that the material is broken down efficiently before it moves on to secondary crushers for further processing into specific sizes.

Pebble Crushers


A pebble crusher is used to crush smaller, round-shaped rocks or pebbles. These crushers are used in secondary and tertiary stages of crushing to produce fine aggregates suitable for concrete mixes or asphalt production. Pebble crushers are often used in industries that require specific size requirements, such as in the production of high-quality concrete and asphalt for roads, buildings, and other infrastructure projects.

Conclusion


Construction aggregates come in a wide range of sizes, and each size serves a specific purpose in the construction process. Fine aggregates, such as sand, are used for concrete mixing, while larger coarse aggregates provide strength and stability for roads, bridges, and foundations. The use of crushers, including the aggregate crusher plant and primary stone crusher, ensures that raw materials are processed into the right sizes for different projects.

Understanding the different sizes of construction aggregates and their applications is essential for selecting the right materials for your project. Whether you're working on small residential buildings or large infrastructure projects, choosing the correct aggregate size will help ensure that your construction project is safe, durable, and efficient.

Is a Self-Loading Mixer Worth It? AIMIX Investment Breakdown & Profit Calculator


Investing in heavy machinery demands caution, particularly in a construction economy where margins are tightening and inflation remains persistent. A self loading cement mixer presents itself as a modern-day fix to the industry’s productivity woes—but only rigorous financial examination can reveal whether it’s a prudent move. On paper, AIMIX machines seem promising. They integrate batching, mixing, and transport into one platform, reducing reliance on third-party suppliers. But the question remains: does this technology actually earn its keep in real-world conditions?

The Financial Commitment Behind a Self-Loading Mixer

Initial purchase cost and supporting infrastructure


A self-loading mixer is not an incidental purchase. Even the lower-capacity AIMIX models, such as the AS-1.8, require a capital outlay of approximately $15,000 to $25,000 USD. Larger models, like the AS-4.0 or AS-5.5, push that figure well beyond $40,000. This is before factoring in auxiliary costs—fuel, spare parts, operator training, and site compatibility upgrades. Transport fees to remote job sites can further escalate initial expenditure.

AS 4.0 Cement Mixer Self Loading Machine for Road Widden in El Salvador

These financial commitments are not abstract—they affect cash flow, delay liquidity, and, if poorly planned, can become sunk costs. Some contractors attempt to cut corners by acquiring second-hand units, only to discover maintenance costs that eat away at margins. When committing to new equipment, buyers must factor in not just the purchase price, but the entire cost of ownership lifecycle.

Cost variances by model and regional availability


Geographic variance in pricing is another complicating factor. Shipping charges, import duties, and local taxation can push the landed cost of the same model up by 20–30% depending on the country. In Southeast Asia, for example, the popularity of AIMIX models like the AS-3.5 has driven prices up compared to markets in Latin America or Africa, where supply chains remain more fragmented.

Savvy contractors understand the difference between capital cost and opportunity cost. A cheaper machine that arrives six weeks late, or lacks localized after-sales support, can quickly devolve into an operational liability. Therefore, purchasing decisions should be made based on total cost structure, not sticker prices alone.

Evaluating ROI Through Operational Efficiency

Productivity per shift versus conventional setups


Conventional concrete production relies on three distinct units: a loader, a transit mixer, and a batching plant. Each one adds coordination complexity and exposes the project to potential delays. A self loading concrete mixer for sale in jamaica collapses all of these into a single machine operated by one person. Per shift, this can result in 4–6 cubic meters of concrete being produced and poured without additional hands or movement of equipment.

Such consolidation translates directly into faster job cycles. For example, pouring house slabs, roadside curbs, or rural pavements becomes less labor-intensive and more time-predictable. Time saved is money retained—especially when working under fixed-cost or penalty-driven contracts.

Maintenance on self loading mixer

Real savings on labor, material, and logistics


Labor savings are not marginal—they are structural. One operator, one machine, one job site. There is no need for a team of drivers, plant operators, or logistics coordinators. Contractors often report labor cost reductions of 35%–50% post-integration of AIMIX self-loaders.

Material usage is another line item where savings emerge. With on-site control over batching and mix ratios, the waste is minimal. Over-ordering and rejected loads—a common curse of RMC supply chains—virtually disappear. Logistic costs related to third-party mixers and long delivery hauls are also eliminated, especially in remote geographies where supplier networks are thin.

AIMIX Profit Projection: Numbers That Justify the Spend

ROI timeline using a conservative estimate


Using conservative metrics, a mid-sized self-loading mixer from AIMIX Group recoups its cost in 7–9 months on active sites. Consider a site completing 20 cubic meters per day, 22 working days per month. At a conservative profit margin of $15 per cubic meter (net of materials), the machine can generate over $6,000 monthly in profit.

Factor in the elimination of mixer rental (averaging $2,000/month), fuel consolidation, and fewer breakdowns due to integrated functionality, and the ROI timeline accelerates. In lean markets or seasonal projects, breakeven may stretch slightly—but rarely beyond 12 months.

Key profit thresholds tracked by AIMIX customers


AIMIX has compiled data from customers across Asia, Africa, and South America. A recurring pattern emerges: once the breakeven threshold is crossed, the machines become profit centers, contributing over 65% margin on recurring small and mid-sized contracts. Some clients, particularly those in the rental space, even deploy their mixers on third-party jobs, generating passive returns through leasing arrangements.

In strategic terms, the machine pays for itself—and then pays forward. For contractors thinking in 3–5 year cycles, this equipment does not just close short-term productivity gaps. It becomes a long-term revenue generator, bolstering operational independence and contract competitiveness.
