As Latin America's demand for construction materials grows, many contractors and quarry operators are investing in heavy-duty crushing equipment. But a key question for buyers remains: do stone crushing plants hold their value over time? Whether you're considering a stationary stone crusher plant for a large-scale quarry or a mobile stone crusher for on-site flexibility, understanding the long-term value of these machines is crucialâespecially in regions where terrain, transport, and resale options vary widely.
Latin American buyers often face a unique mix of economic and logistical challengesâhigh import taxes, currency fluctuations, and limited access to spare parts can all influence equipment choices. In this environment, investing in a crushing plant(planta trituradora de piedra) with high residual value offers major benefits:
As public infrastructure projects and private construction continue to expand across countries like Brazil, Peru, and Colombia, the demand for second-hand crushing equipment is also growingâmaking now a good time to assess what makes an aggregate crusher plant a long-term asset.
Crushing plants from well-known manufacturers generally retain their value better. These brands are trusted for durability, service support, and spare part availability. If you're operating in remote or rugged locations, having a trusted machine that rarely breaks down significantly increases its market appeal years later.
A mobile stone crusher(trituradora movil de piedra) tends to have higher resale value due to its flexibility. These machines are designed for fast setup and relocationâperfect for Latin America's varied terrain, where projects often span mountainous regions, rainforest zones, or urban construction sites.
Mobile units are also easier to resell across regions, as they can be transported without needing disassembly, making them attractive to a wider range of buyers.
Just like used cars, the condition of a crushing plant is heavily influenced by how well itâs been maintained. Buyers in Latin America are especially cautious due to limited access to high-quality replacement parts in some areas. A plant with full service records, recent part replacements, and low operating hours will always command a higher resale price.
Equipment that matches local demand trendsâsuch as medium-capacity units suitable for housing developmentsâholds value better. Oversized plants might be harder to resell in areas where small to mid-scale operations dominate. Understanding your regionâs demand for aggregates, including crushed stone size and volume, is essential.
If your goal is long-term value, choose a plant with versatility. Models that allow quick adjustments to produce different aggregate sizes or integrate easily with screening equipment will be more appealing on the used market.
In Latin American markets where trust plays a major role in equipment transactions, a well-maintained stone crusher plant with documented repairs, operator logs, and usage data can significantly boost resale value. Buyers want assurance that your equipment wonât fail them in the middle of a job.
As fuel prices rise and environmental standards tighten, energy-efficient crushing plantsâespecially those that reduce dust and noiseâare increasingly desirable. Retrofits or smart automation systems may raise the initial investment, but they also increase long-term value.
In Latin America's fast-developing aggregates industry, purchasing a crushing plant is not just about upfront priceâit's a strategic investment. Whether it's a rugged stationary aggregate crusher plant(chancadora de agregados) or a versatile mobile stone crusher, the long-term value lies in durability, adaptability, and smart operation.
For contractors looking to maximize ROI and minimize downtime risk, understanding what drives equipment value is the first step toward making smarter, more profitable decisions in a dynamic construction landscape.

The devolution of Black politics has never been so evident and could not happen at a worse moment. While the crisis of legitimacy accelerates, and provides opportunities for movement politics, many Black people have declared themselves to be uninterested in political engagement or even worse, to be in solidarity with state oppression. Social media is replete with examples of Black people declaring that they donât care about genocide in Gaza, or that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has nothing to do with them or even that they are glad other people are targeted for deportation.
The city of Los Angeles, California is now the focal point of resistance, and while there is Black solidarity within the coalition protesting ICE raids and Donald Trump bringing in the National Guard, there is also a strange resistance to acting in solidarity with those who are specifically targeted in this phase of state repression.
There is a great deal of confusion about what Black politics should be. The confusion continues because Black politics, the assertion of Black/African peopleâs human rights here and abroad, was killed off by repression, the influence of money in politics, years of right wing indoctrination, and the presence of a neo-liberal, imperialist Black man in the office of the presidency. The result is that the people who once were most likely to be at the very least skeptical of the stateâs motives are now in support of some of its worst acts.
Entertainer Azealia Banks not only declared , âIâm a Zionist,â but felt compelled to add , âNo black person should be supporting Palestine.â Ms. Banks attempted to explain away her inexplicable comments by asserting that all Arabs are racist and therefore undeserving of any solidarity. Even if that broad generalization were true, why would it mean that a genocidal state would be acceptable to her or to anyone?
Banks is one of the worst examples of this dubious narrative, which says that Black people should only be interested in themselves because all Arabs are supposedly racist or all Latinos are racists or because other groups have not been in solidarity with us, or because ICE isnât raiding them. It is difficult but necessary to clear through many levels of misguided thinking if we are to find our way out of a dangerous morass.
The same forces that destroyed the liberation movement have convinced many Black people that effective political engagement is limited to voting, when in fact voting is the least effective means of bringing about change. Numerous studies have shown that voters donât get what they want even when their chosen party is in office. Of course, bourgeois democracy delivers a revolving door of democrats and republicans who alternately fall out of favor with the public only to market themselves anew and periodically switch places so that the duopoly can take turns raising hopes and then failing the public over and over again.
We see Black people claiming that their vote for Kamala Harris or Joe Biden or Barack Obama is akin to movement organizing when nothing could be further from the truth. The claims that Black people shouldnât be involved in the fight against genocide or ICE because we have all fought so hard often amounts to nothing more than people having voted for a democrat in a presidential election year. The duopoly confidence game causes people to be angry because they think their quadrennial trip to a polling place amounts to more than it actually does.
The lack of historical knowledge is another factor in the encouragement of apathy. âNo one helped Black people.â âWhy should we care if someone else is deported?â âTheyâre stealing our jobs.â The prevalence of discredited American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) and Foundational Black American (FBA) ideology leads to hostility even towards Black immigrants. The site of masked ICE officers making violent arrests elicits nothing more than a shoulder shrug from the masses who think their situations are not linked with those being victimized.
At the very least, one would think the admonition warning against cutting off oneâs nose in order to spite the face, would be kept in mind. Black people should know better than anyone that police, whether local or from ICE, are the enemy and that we should never applaud their actions, even if we appear not to be the target.
As for anti-Blackness among other groups, discernment is important. There is anti-Black racism among groups who are not white and it isnât difficult to find examples. But that should not mean support for arresting people when they appear for immigration check-ins as they have done for years or that we shouldnât feel repelled by ICE agents seeking entry to school buildings, dragging people from work places, and arresting U.S. citizens in the process. Black immigrants are always targets and are easily swept up in a racist system.
But there is also a lack of understanding about immigration itself. Immigration secures a class of disposable labor for capitalists, which is why people from all over the world are admitted to the U.S. If immigrants take what Donald Trump referred to as âBlack jobsâ it is because that is what the ruling class wants. It is not an accident that entire industries rely on immigrant labor. These same capitalists want a race to the bottom. If they donât have migrants coming to the U.S. to work, they will leave the U.S. in search of even cheaper labor, and find ways to emiserate citizen workers even more than they do now. That dynamic is a constant, and no one should be fooled into thinking that Black workers would benefit even if every immigrant returned to their home country.
There is a mistaken belief that the fortunes of Black people from the U.S. would improve if others disappeared. Such conjecture is completely ahistorical. Yes, we must wage our own battle but what and who are we fighting? Our enemies are racism and capitalism. There is no reason to believe that mass incarceration, gentrification, or low wage work would disappear if global south immigrants were to leave the U.S. Our situation was not better before they arrived, and thinking that corporate, capitalist parties would somehow offer up something different is not borne out by any experiences Black people have had.
Donald Trumpâs actions and his persona are different from other presidents, and that is a problem, but not just for the obvious reasons. It is important to remember that the Democratic Partyâs allegiance to its oligarchic class, and its determination to vilify Trump instead of doing what their voters want, led to his return to the white house. It would be unfortunate if the only conclusion reached about this crisis is that we need another Democratic Party president when that partyâs fecklessness led to Trumpâs second term in office.
The lesson to be learned is that US Black people must understand that every phase of repression is a danger to us. We have no choice but to be in solidarity with all oppressed groups as we struggle for a new system altogether. This is better than finger-pointing about why the democrats failed to win the presidency. Democrats have cut the safety net, increased military spending, created a prison industrial complex, deported millions, and promised their capitalist sugar daddies that they will do everything in their power to keep people in a constant state of precarity. There must be no confusion about who our enemies are.

I'm almost finished with my game, but I can't help but look at fundamental flaws that are too late to fix.
For one, the game is clearly inspired by Zelda, but I feel like that since it plays somewhat like Zelda then they should also expect shields to work like they do in Zelda, but in my game, the shields just reduce damage (making them act more like the rings in Zelda 1). The truth is that I made the shields reduce damage instead of blocking projectiles because I didn't want to bother writing collision detection for that along with trying to find/create sprites to accommodate. But then I realized that I have Octorok-like enemies that shoot projectiles and there is no way to dodge them outside of moving out of the way.
The other major flaw is something that someone else pointed out, which is that the enemies spawn in random locations. I should have included preset spawners in the room templates, but I never thought of that and including that now also means that I have to make different spawners in each template along with the number of spawners that appear in each difficulty.
I guess these are things to keep in mind for next game.
The base and those top influencers who channel their interests (and at times add their own insight) arguably define MAGA, but Trump is the only one with the power to implement it at scale, and he now believes that he knows better than them.Andrew Korybko (Andrew Korybko's Newsletter)

It seems like The Pine 64 have decided to offer a more premium device this time around, so let's see what it will look like!

It sports a Rockchip system on a chip, with 6 cores running at 1.5Ghz, paired with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM, and 128GB of internal eMMC storage. That SoC seems to be a variant of the RK 3399, fine-tuned to have as good thermals as possible, and better battery life. They also managed to enable suspend state, so your phone will still be able to receive calls and messages without using too much battery life.
Compare this to the regular PinePhone, which only sported a Quad-Core Allwinner SoC running at 1.152 GHz, with up to 3GB LPDDR3 RAM, although my model only had 2 Gigs. It should be a major improvement, and have performance levels comparable to a mid range current Android smartphone.
As a matter of fact, The Pine 64 says it should be about 20% slower than a PineBook PRO, which is a very capable ARM laptop. That should make our Linux mobile desktops run really well on this thing.
Cameras have been vastly improved as well, with a 13MP main shooter in the back, and a 5MP front facing camera.
The regular pinephone had a 5MP main camera and a 2MP front facing one, so there should be a very visible upgrade in terms of image quality. megapixels aren't everything, but you need to have a healthy amount of them to at least pretend to take a decent picture.
The body of the phone seems very close to the original, to the point that the Pro supports all accessories made for the baseline pinephone, including back attachments, the keyboard and the wireless charging case. The only things that won't fit are the covers.
You still get the same hardware killswitches under the case to disable the mic, Wifi and bluetooth, headphone jack and the modem.
The display uses a 1440x720p resolution, the same as the original pinephone. It's an IPS display though, it's covered by Gorilla Glass 4, and has an elevated bezel to protect the screen from scratches when lying on a flat surface or falling.
It does make the chassis 2mm thicker though. The back plate has also been modified to be less prone to fingerprints, which is a good thing, as the original one could quickly turn into a nightmare for neatfreaks like me.
The battery is the same as the PinePhone, a Samsung J7 compatible one, at 3000mAh. This might be an issue, as the new SoC is more powerful and thus might use more power. We'll have to see if the optimizations they've worked on with the manufacturer can offset that.
The PinePhone Pro is available for preorder already, at a 399$ price, and people opting to buy one should expect it to arrive in early 2022, unless component shortages intensify.
Of course, this thing isn't a silver bullet for Linux phones. Software still has a ways to go to be daily driver material for me, and probably for a lot of people as well.
So the PinePhone PRO is still geared towards developers, and super early enthusiasts who want a phone that can also be their Linux desktop when they need it to, but who don't rely on apps too much.

Milan (Italy) (AFP) â Hardcore supporters of Serie A giants Inter Milan and AC Milan were sentenced to up to 10 years in prison on Tuesday for a range of crimes including criminal conspiracy and murder, following a probe into illegal activities of so-called "ultra" groups.All 16 people standing trial for a variety of offences, in a fast-track procedure which began in March, were found guilty and handed sentences which added up to 90 years.
The crimes broadly involved activities around the iconic San Siro stadium on matchdays, from ticket touting to control of parking, sales from concession stands and taking payment from people without tickets and letting them into the stadium.
Andrea Beretta was one of three people handed the harshest sentence, the former leading Inter ultra being found guilty of criminal conspiracy aggravated by mafia methods and the murder of fellow top Inter ultra and mobster Antonio Bellocco.
Beretta turned state's witness after stabbing to death Bellocco during an altercation outside a boxing gym in a Milan suburb, weeks before the arrest in September of 19 leading Inter and Milan ultras.
The murder of Bellocco was especially shocking due to his status as a scion of an 'Ndrangheta mafia family, from the southern Italian region of Calabria, which bears his surname.
Beretta was also one of six people to be arrested in April for the murder of notorious ultra and career criminal Vittorio Boiocchi in October 2022.
He stepped up to take over the "Curva Nord" section of the San Siro from Boiocchi who was gunned down outside his house at the age of 69 as part of a power struggle between rival factions.
Beretta and Marco Ferdico -- sentenced to eight years -- used Bellocco's 'Ndrangheta connections to push aside more traditional football hooligans, linked with far-right politics, who were bidding for top billing among the Inter ultras.
Milan's top ultra Luca Lucci was also given 10 years in prison for criminal conspiracy and planning in 2019 the attempted murder of a rival ultra, Enzo Anghinelli.
His right-hand man Daniele Cataldo, judged to be the man who carried out the attack on Anghinelli, was handed the same prison sentence.
The fast-track trial, known as "rito abbreviato", is a legal procedure in Italian law in which defendants are judged on the basis of evidence brought by prosecutors, with no debate of that evidence by legal teams.
The procedure allows trials to be completed in a much shorter space of time than the years it takes for the ordinary judicial procedure, under which the remaining three people arrested in September began their trial in February.
That trio includes Francesco Lucci, who often took charge of the Milan ultras during his brother Luca's frequent problems with the law for offences that include drug trafficking and the assault of an Inter fan who was blinded and later committed suicide.
Neither of the clubs were charged in relation to the crimes, and were awarded 50,000 euros each as civil defendants and damaged parties in the trial.
Hardcore supporters of Serie A giants Inter Milan and AC Milan were sentenced to up to 10 years in prison on Tuesday for a range of crimes including criminal conspiracy and murder, following a probe into illegal activities of so-called "ultra" groupsâŚRFI

The right wing here in the US would have us believe that our country is overcrowded, and so we must restrict immigration.

The uninhabited parts of North America are in Canada, not the US. Only small parts of the US are unsuitable for human settlement.

Besides the in Arctic and Subarctic (see above), few areas of any size in North America can be said to be uninhabited. Most of these are strict nature reserves or wilderness area protected by law. Among the largest of these are Improvement District No. 25, Alberta (4,601.52 square kilometres (1,776.66 sq mi) and Tweedsmuir South Provincial Park, British Columbia (989,616 hectares (3,820.93 sq mi).
Alberta and British Columbia are Canadian provinces.
There is not much desert in Japan, but it is a very mountainous country, and much of the land is too steep to build on. One of the schools I taught at was accessible only by a road that was too steep for my bicycle. I had to get off and push.

The terrain is mostly rugged and mountainous, with 66% forest.
Switzerland is also mostly mountains.

Switzerland lies at the heart of Europe. It has three distinct geographical regions: the Alps, the Central Plateau and the Jura. The Alps cover two thirds of the country, but only a fraction of the population lives there.
Switzerland is one of the smallest countries in Europe. Mountains cover 70% of its territory but only a quarter of the population lives there.www.aboutswitzerland.eda.admin.ch

>> Organizers of a land convoy seeking to break the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip have reportedly announced their decision to cancel the convoyâs journey after authorities in eastern Libya refused to allow them to cross into Egypt.
>> In a statement on its Facebook page, the group said: âWe have been informed by the Libyan authorities that the Egyptian authorities have rejected the licenses requests that we sent to the Egyptian Embassy in Tunisia through all possible legal and diplomatic channels.â
>> âWe decided to return to Tunisia and look for other ways to lift the siegeâ in Gaza, the statement added.
>> ... the convoy âis peaceful and will remain peaceful and we will remain on the spot peacefully waitingâ for the release of the detained participants.

A staffer for Senator Tina Smith goes viral for sending an email to Senator Mike Lee after he tweeted-and later deleted-about the assassination of a Minnesota state legislator.
"I knew Melissa Hortman. Many people in this office did. She was a longtime friend of Senator Smithâs, who had seen her hours before she was murdered. So youâll forgive my candor as I speak through enormous grief," the letter begins.

Big Tech: we invented the torment nexus
Glasses brands: for $54.95, you can slightly reduce the torment
Picking up some stuff from my local grocery store just now and there was a guy who looked exactly like, *and* had the same body language as: Larry David.
I could not take my eyes off this man.
His kind of dismal self defeating clumsy attempt to engage with the self checkout. His every hesitation, every fumble, perfect Larry.
I know for a fact that it wasnât Larry David. Larry David isnât in Australia, in Greenslopes, doing his shopping.
But that made him even more fascinating. Larry David has *no* choice, whatever he does: heâs Larry David.
But this man had choices, had his whole life. But bit by bit, over many decades, it must have snuck up on him in tiny increments. Now, mature in years, heâs arrived at manâs estate, his final form, a perfect transition to Larry David-ness.
In Greenslopes. On a Wednesday.
