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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Italy is renowned for its high standards in tile production. Many Italian tile brands have a long history of excellence, refining their products over time. When you purchase from a reputable tiles supplier, you’re investing in quality.
This assurance is crucial when undertaking a full bathroom renovation. You don’t want to compromise on quality.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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”. [...]

Deux voix d’un autre temps, ou plutôt deux voix intemporelles. En 2003, Denez Prigent et Mari Boine enregistraient cette gwerz dénonçant la destruction de la terre et de la végétation par l’être humain. Les deux artistes ont en commun un profond amour pour leur langue maternelle (le breton pour Denez, le sami pour Mari), une grande ouverture aux autres cultures, et, musicalement, le recours à des sons électroacoustiques participant à une ambiance particulière, telle qu’on la retrouve en particulier dans le célèbre Gortoz a Ran (avec Lisa Gerrard) ou la sombre Gwertz Kiev (avec l’Ecossaise karen Matheson)

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.
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.
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.
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.
Concrete batching plant Australia has various kinds for choices: stationary type, mobile type, and dry mix type.Concrete Solutions - Concrete Production & Pumping & Paving
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.
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.
Begin with a detailed visual inspection. Look for:
These issues should not be ignored. Even small cracks can expand under stress, and leaks won’t resolve themselves.
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
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:
Cost is a consideration, but think beyond just the price of new versus repaired outriggers. Consider:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

I'm going to lose my temper and yell at this stupid student. I just know it.
Ignorant, I can handle. Some of the folks we hire shouldn't have been hired, but what's done is done and I do my best to teach them.
But as the comedian says, you can't fix stupid.
Finally glad to get my machine that is providing social media services stable, it took going through three power supplies, seven motherboards, and two CPUs to finally get a stable fully functional hardware platform again.
The main problem revolved around the fact that the i9-10980xe chip is six years old, but the i9-109xx family is the only non-Xeon Intel chip capable of addressing 256GB of RAM, and the AMD chips capable of doing same are way beyond my budgetary capabilities. And the i9-10980xe is an excellent chip if and only if you can provide for it's ridiculous power and heat removal requirements. Although rated at 165 watts dissipation which isn't all that bad, that's at 3.6Ghz and an average work load. Run all cores at 4.8Ghz and that can go to 540 watts (I measured it), and there in lies the challenge.
I did not want to go with water cooling because the machine is in a co-lo facility that has wiring in the floor and so getting a leak and burning the building down seemed like a bad thing so went with a Noctua 15D cooler that I had replaced the stock 1500 RPM fans with some 3000 RPM fans. This combination allowed it to dissipate that 540 watts continuously at home but that was with an ambient temperature of 60F or so, the co-lo facility has an ambient around 80F and that 20F reduced the power dissipation to about 450 watts, so I had to scale the motherboard back to 450 watt throttling which allows the CPU to operate at 4.5Ghz all cores for most workloads, it will slow to 4.1-4.3 Ghz during kernel compiles using all 36 threads but that is about the only workload where it throttles.
Originally, I had an Asus Prime X299 A II motherboard, but the machine became unstable. At first I thought
it was the power supply and after replacing it seemed to be stable for about a month and then became
unstable again. This time I replaced the power supply with a Seasonic 1200 watt unit. Still unstable so thought
motherboard must have gone south.
Tried two more Asus boards, both had bad memory channels, so went with a Gigabyte X299 Aorus and that worked well for several months, then it died.
So I tried an Asrock motherboard, it definitely was not up to the current demands of the CPU and melted the solder where the power connected to the CPU socket.
So tried another Gigabyte board but this was a Game Master 3 used, it arrived dead out of the box and
would not even post.
Finally found another Gigabyte X299 Aorus but this was a revision 1.1, the old was 1.0, and it worked. And
what was really nice about this board is that it has memory bank and rank interleaving. When you're feeding
an 18 core processor this makes a major difference. It took the time it took to compile a bindeb-pkg kernel
page from about 18 minutes to 7 minutes and 50 seconds. It also made the CPU draw a lot more power at a given clock frequency since the cores are spending more time doing useful work instead of waiting on memory, hence the need to run at 4.5 Ghz instead of 4.8 Ghz.
The CPU I had was damaged when the Asrock melted down and it would cause it to just hang after a few hours of operation, so I had to replace it. The replacement CPU has some funky voltage differences. The old CPU would idle at .8volts stable but needed 1.45v when fully cranked to remain stable. The new CPU will not idle at .8v, I have it at 1.0v even for it to be stable, but it will run as high as 5Ghz on just 1.25v stable but too much heat to run that fast.
Anyway new machine is running well, so we're back.
