Plato: Democracy does not contain any force which will check the constant tendency to put more and more on the public payroll.

Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Israeli attacks on Gaza have killed at least 60 Palestinians since midnight, including dozens in northern areas, as international agencies warn of worsening food and water shortages under continued blockade.
On May 1-4, over 2,000 activists met in Baltimore for Jewish Voice for Peace’s four-day National Members Meeting. The gathering highlighted the massive growth in the Palestine movement and the work ahead to build a united front toward liberation.
She is still in rehab, but the doctors say she needs 24 hour care now. So I have been researching homecare companies in anticipation of her being discharged next week at some point.
Though still relatively alert, she is very much different from a month ago and it is pretty obvious that she has reached a point where her neighbor and me cannot take care of her properly.
So, prayers for wisdom as I set up care at home and for her understanding it is time.
But fortunately, she can afford it but she has been protecting her nest egg this entire time for me and a cousin.
It is time to take care of herself (the cousin agrees). The big issue I have is that I don't have full legal rights to make these decisions on her behalf, but I am going to anyway and just let her holler as much as she wants. Her care is more important than money.
I could be wrong, but from what I understand you can share power of attorney with your cousin in the event decisions need to be made on behalf of your aunt. Your aunt should have this documentation as should anyone in the event of such a need.
Better to do it now before she is unable to make those decisions for herself. My mom has Alzheimer’s and we have to get this in place now before she loses it “all the way”.
Her Trust is set up so that I have full Power of Attorney (POA) if she is declared incapacitated. In order to do that, two doctors have to examine her, or she can refuse to be examined and I just move forward.
Right now, she forgets how things are set up and tells people I have POA and I have to remind her that I don't. Once I get her home, I plan of having an attorney draft the POA allowing me to represent her for all decisions outside of the Trust.
And the cousin is in Pennsylvania and cannot help because she still has kids at home. But she supports the action of using the funds to take care of my aunt.
You’re a wonderful nephew Rick! I dread having to make these decisions for mom. It’s no fun to be the responsible one sometimes! 😂
The only reason I haven’t set it up for mom yet is I recently “inherited” taking care of her and setting it up may cost some $$’s she doesn’t have. It’s just part of the “to do sooner than later” list. We have just signed with a builder to build extra space in our home for her. One day at a time. Oye! Priorities 😆
I would move in with her, but she really needs someone who can help her with things that I can't. Like showers, changing clothes, etc.
I have already had my fill of working at her kitchen table only to turn around and she has dropped her drawers because she needs help cinching them up.
@HeyLiberty @1031 all of this is so familiar! Caring for our loved ones is hard! The sooner things are legal the better. We had a durable? POA set up so mom can make decisions as long as she is able and when she’s not then I can. There are elder resources out there. A quick ask on a local FB page can get you lots of suggestions on who/what was a good/bad experience. People are happy to share what worked for their loved ones. Part-time caregivers can be a big help in some cases.

@Jess👾 It's probably not induction. A while back there was a light bulb company that had an advertisement where they would unscrew the light bulb from the lamp socket and it would keep glowing, and to further the effectiveness of those advertisements they added some glow in the dark phosphors to their bulbs so they would glow for some time after being turned off. But, if you want to test for inductance, just place it in a Faraday shield, such as a microwave oven (don't turn the oven ON while the bulb is inside if you don't want flaming / melted bulb remains). If the glow goes out while inside the Faraday cage, then OK inductance, but unlikely unless you live next to a higher powered radio or television station.

Preventive maintenance isn’t a cure-all, but it’s the most effective way to catch issues before they disrupt your workflow. This checklist targets crane parts, providing a practical, no-fuss guide to keep your equipment in top shape.
Cranes are critical to your operations, but they come with a high price tag. A single part failure can lead to costly downtime, delayed projects, safety risks, and mounting expenses.
Preventive maintenance isn’t a cure-all, but it’s the most effective way to catch issues before they disrupt your workflow. This checklist targets crane parts, providing a practical, no-fuss guide to keep your equipment in top shape.
Why Maintenance Is Crucial
A crane’s reliability depends on its components. A worn hook, a frayed rope, or a failing brake can stop operations or cause accidents. The trick is identifying problems early to avoid bigger issues.
Daily Checks (Pre-Shift)
These are quick, visual inspections. No tools needed. Perform them before every shift to spot issues early.
Hooks
Check for cracks, bends, or heavy wear.
Ensure the safety latch functions correctly.
If it’s damaged or deformed, remove it from service immediately.
Wire Ropes or Chains
Inspect for rust, broken strands, or kinks.
Look for flattened or frayed sections.
If anything seems off, don’t proceed—investigate further.
Hydraulic Hoses
Scan for leaks, bulges, or cracked rubber.
Small leaks can escalate into major failures if ignored.
Brakes
Test with a light load. Listen for delays or odd noises.
Report any slipping or weak performance immediately.
Controls and Limit Switches
Test each control for proper response.
Verify limit switches are working—never bypass them.
Weekly Checks
These require a bit more time but are manageable with basic tools.
Bolts and Fasteners
Tighten loose bolts and check for vibration damage.
Inspect threads for wear or stripping.
Lubrication Points
Apply grease per the manufacturer’s schedule.
Use just enough to keep parts moving smoothly.
Sheaves and Pulleys
Rotate them to ensure quiet, free movement.
Check for uneven wear or grooves in the tread.
Electrical Connections
Look for frayed wires or loose terminals.
If you’re not certified, report issues to a qualified electrician.
Monthly Maintenance
Schedule time for thorough inspections. You may need to order spares from your crane parts supplier.
Gearboxes and Bearings
Verify oil levels and check for leaks.
Listen for grinding or unusual sounds during operation.
Load Chain or Wire Rope Tension
Ensure even tension to prevent side pulling.
Correct any improper winding on the drum.
Trolley and Bridge Alignment
Check for smooth tracking and inspect rails for wear.
Misalignment accelerates part wear and affects load stability.
Emergency Stop Function
Test to confirm it stops all operations instantly.
Log the test as part of your maintenance routine.
Annual (or Manufacturer-Recommended) Inspections
These are in-depth and require professionals. Your crane parts supplier can provide quality crane parts or recommend certified inspectors.
Structural Components
Inspect for corrosion, cracks, or fatigue in high-stress areas.
Use ultrasonic testing for hidden defects if necessary.
Load Testing
Test under maximum load to ensure reliability.
This is a job for certified experts, not DIY.
Control Systems and Safety Features
Review fault logs, software updates, and safety mechanisms.
Faulty controls are a serious liability.
Keep Accurate Records
It’s tempting to skip logs when things are running smoothly, but records are essential. They help identify patterns—like a part failing every few months—and provide documentation for audits or incidents. Your crane parts supplier](crane-spares.com/) can use this data to suggest better components.
Simple log format: - Date - Components inspected - Issues found - Inspector’s name - Actions taken
Partner with a Trusted Crane Parts Supplier
Preventive maintenance relies on access to quality crane parts. A dependable crane parts supplier is key. Choose one who: - Supplies parts meeting ASME and ISO standards. - Delivers spares quickly. - Offers documentation and traceability. - Understands your crane’s specific requirements.
Your supplier should be a reliable partner, not just a vendor. If they can’t support you during a breakdown, find a better option.
Train Your Team
A checklist is only as good as the people using it. Train operators and maintenance staff to spot issues correctly. Hands-on training is far more effective than manuals alone.
