Self Loading Mixers with Tough Tires: The Ultimate Off-Road Concrete Solution


In the challenging terrain of remote construction sites, where conventional concrete delivery methods falter, self loading concrete mixers with rugged tire systems are emerging as the definitive solution. These robust machines combine autonomous operation with exceptional mobility to conquer landscapes that would stop other equipment in its tracks. From mining camps to wind farm installations, these off-road warriors are redefining what's possible in concrete placement, blending raw capability with precision engineering to deliver results where it matters most.

Conquering Extreme Terrain with Purpose-Built Design


The true test of any off-road equipment comes when faced with soft sand, muddy tracks, or rocky inclines – conditions where standard construction vehicles quickly become immobilized. Self-loading concrete mixers for sale UK built for such environments feature oversized, deep-tread tires with reinforced sidewalls that distribute weight evenly while providing exceptional grip. Unlike traditional mixing trucks that require stable roads, these specialized tires allow operation on gradients up to 25 degrees and can traverse terrain that would challenge even experienced off-road drivers. The secret lies in their adaptive tire pressure systems, which operators can adjust on-the-fly to match changing ground conditions without stopping work.

Uninterrupted Production in Isolated Locations


Remote job sites often lack the infrastructure for conventional concrete supply, making self-sufficiency paramount. These mixers carry their own water supply and aggregate storage, eliminating dependence on external batching plants. Their loading arms can source materials directly from local stockpiles, while the integrated weighing system ensures perfect mix proportions every time. What truly sets them apart is their ability to maintain production continuity – mixing one batch while moving to the next placement location, a capability that transforms productivity in sprawling projects like pipeline installations or rural road networks. The combination of autonomous operation and off-road mobility means concrete arrives exactly where needed, precisely when required, regardless of how far off the beaten path the work occurs.

Durability That Matches the Demands of Harsh Environments


Construction equipment faces its toughest challenges not just from terrain, but from the punishing conditions of dust, vibration, and constant use. Off-road self-loading mini concrete mixers are built to a different standard, with hardened steel components in high-wear areas and completely sealed electrical systems that withstand prolonged exposure to the elements. Their drivetrains feature heavy-duty axles and limited-slip differentials that provide traction even when partially submerged. Maintenance access points are strategically placed for easy servicing in field conditions, while critical components like the mixing drum benefit from abrasion-resistant liners that extend service life in silica-rich environments. This level of ruggedization ensures reliable operation through thousands of cycles in conditions that would quickly disable conventional equipment.

The advent of properly equipped self-loading mixers has effectively erased the concept of "inaccessible" when it comes to concrete placement. As infrastructure development pushes into increasingly challenging environments, these machines stand ready to deliver the literal foundation for progress. Their unique combination of mobility, autonomy, and durability represents not just an equipment category, but a fundamental shift in how the construction industry approaches remote projects. For contractors facing the dual challenges of difficult terrain and concrete supply, these tough-tired workhorses offer a solution that's as practical as it is powerful.

Just arrived home from seeing David Lee Roth at the Hard Rock. Band was excellent, he brought along 4 back up singers, and the setlist was all VH from the first 6 albums. For a guy who has lived the life he has and is almost 71 he looks great.
We all know the voice is gone, but the on stage persona is still there, and for 105 minutes the crowd got to enjoy Dave's on stage antics and hear old VH tunes.

The first thing I recently started doing on the NAS is virtual machines. I installed Virtual Machine manager, and it's pretty easy to use, you just create a VM, you select how many CPU cores and how much RAM you want, you create a virtual disk, and you select an ISO from the NAS storage, and you're good to go.

Another thing I run is Plex. It's a media server. I store movies and TV Shows in there, and I play these from my TV, with the Plex app. Plex was available as a one click install from the package center of Synology DiskStation manager.

I also use my NAS to run my own VPN. Of course, you do lose the access to a foreign IP, and some privacy, since, well the VPN gets your home Ip address, so the same that your computer might have had.

I use the VPN server app from the NAS's package manager, and I used OpenVPN. Setting things up was super easy, I just had to export the config file, and import it in GNOME's settings, after modifying the file to add the domain name that my NAS uses as the IP, and I also had to open the relevant port in my router's config, of course.

Another thing I use my NAS for is to stop paying for cloud photo and video storage. I use SYnology Photos here. It's a nice little app that you can run on your NAS and on your mobile devices. What it does is basically the same thing as Apple Photos, or GOogle Drive: you open the app, it backs everything up to your NAS, and you can access them from any web browser, manage albums

Now, for the most original use of a NAS: file storage and backups. To do that, I use the SYnology Drive client, which is available on Linux.

I use this app to create a backup of my /home directory, to my NAS storage. I also created a sync task to sync the photos that came from my phone, to my NAS, to my computer.

I also use my NAS as a file exchange thingy. When I record something on a test laptop for a video, I store all the recordings on the NAS, and I download them back from the computer I'll do the editing on.

All the storage is also accessible through Samba, so I can connect to it easily from my local network.

Now there are a few things I would like to try and setup here as well. The first one is Nextcloud. I'm planning to use the Container Manager app to use Docker and install Nextcloud with that, on the NAS.

Another thing I'd like to do is automating a download of the latest videos from my youtube subscription feed, and to create an RSS feed for that so I can use any podcast client or app to watch just these videos.

Another thing I'd like to try is to setup Kasm Workspaces: it's a self hostable solution to run desktops, operating systems, or apps remotely, and stream them to a web browser.

I'm pretty sure I can install that using Docker on the NAS, and replace the Virtual Machines manager that Synology offers with something open source. It probably won't change my workflow all that much, but open source solutions are just more my jam, and it's a fun project to try and tackle.

Turkey: Revolutionary Prisoner Turns Hunger Strike into Fast until Death


On July 31, Serkan Onur Yilmaz announced that he was transforming his hunger strike that began on November 10, 2024 into a fast until death while his health condition is critical. Started 270 days ago, this struggle aims to denounce the “well” type prisons in Turkey which are infamous for their particularly inhumane conditions of detention and their very strict solitary confinement regime. Alongside him, eight other revolutionary prisoners went on hunger strike with the same demands: Mithat Öztürk, Ali Aracı, Ayberk Demirdöğen, Fikret Akar, Ümit Çobanoğlu, Fırat Kaya, Tahsin Sağaltıcı and Gürkan Türkoğlu.

Anti-fascist Political Prisoner Released from Prison!


“Welcome Home, Tall Can! Post-Release Solidarity Drive!”

Venmo: pushingdownthewalls
Cashapp: $pushingdownthewalls
Include “TC” in the notes.

Jesse WAS an antifascist political prisoner who was incarcerated for allegedly participating in militant community defense against American Guard, Proud Boys, and assorted right-wingers who descended upon the Pacific Beach are of San Diego, Kumeyaay land, for a day-long fascist rally on January 9, 2021. Along with being an unapologetic defender of his community, TC is a nature enthusiast, father, and artist who needs our support after spending nearly two years risking his life fighting fires in so-called LA and throughout so-called California. Despite the SD DA’s best efforts to keep him caged for his convictions and his refusal to cooperate, TC has been released! Support for our comrades inside doesn’t end when they’re out—and he needs our solidarity now more than ever as he settles back into his city, finds work, and helps raise his kid. Let’s show him some love and remind him how much he means to us. Please donate and share widely.

Patriots Wanted: DHS Drops Age Cap, 80,000 Americans Rush to Join ICE and Help Clean Up Biden’s Mess

thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/p…

I was blown away reading this new research from the site Muckrack.com, which finds a rapid decline in the number of local journalists per resident across the United States. I knew the situation wasn't great with more news sites relying on AI-based news gathering for more content, but this drop is way more precipitous than I thought:

"Using data that’s never been tapped before, we now know just how severe this local journalist shortage has become. Less than a quarter-century ago, the United States had about 40 journalists per 100,000 residents on average. Now, the equivalent number is 8.2 Local Journalist Equivalents, about a 75% decline. (Local Journalist Equivalent is a new measure we’re introducing, akin to a Full Time Equivalent or FTE).

A Business Owner's Guide to Secretarial Services in 2025


As we navigate through 2025, finding the right support isn't just about delegating tasks – it's about building a partnership that helps your business thrive.

Picture this: It's 3 AM, and you're drowning in a sea of unanswered emails, missed calendar invites, and administrative tasks that seem to multiply like rabbits. Sound familiar? That was me last spring, before I finally admitted I needed help. Like many business owners, I'd fallen into the "I can do it all" trap. Spoiler alert: I couldn't.

The Search Begins

"I just need someone to handle my inbox," I told myself. Oh, how naive I was. As I began exploring secretarial services, I discovered a whole new world of possibilities. Modern secretarial support isn't just about managing emails and answering phones – it's about finding a true business partner who can help your company thrive.

Sarah, a fellow business owner, shared her story with me over coffee. "I went through three different secretarial services before finding the right fit," she confessed. "The first was too rigid, the second too inexperienced, and the third... well, let's just say they thought AI could replace human intuition entirely."

The Awakening

Here's what I learned: choosing the right secretarial services provider is like dating. You need chemistry, shared values, and clear communication. And just like dating, there are some definite red flags to watch out for.

I remember interviewing one provider who promised they could handle everything – and I mean everything. "We'll manage your social media, do your taxes, walk your dog, and probably solve world peace while we're at it," they claimed. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

The Real Deal

After weeks of searching, I finally found my match. What made them different? They asked questions – lots of them. Instead of just listing their services, they wanted to understand my business, my pain points, and my goals. They weren't just selling secretarial services; they were offering solutions.

"Tell me about your typical day," their representative asked during our first meeting. When I described my chaos-filled schedule, she nodded knowingly. "Let's break this down into manageable pieces," she suggested. That's when I knew I'd found a keeper.

The Learning Curve

Getting started wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. There were hiccups – like the time my new virtual assistant accidentally scheduled all my meetings in Pacific Time when we're based in New York. But here's the key: they owned their mistakes and learned from them.

Making It Work

Now, six months in, I can't imagine running my business without my secretarial services team. They've become an extension of my company, anticipating needs before they arise and solving problems I didn't even know I had.

Want to find your perfect match? Here's what worked for me:

  • Start with a clear picture of your needs. Are you drowning in paperwork? Struggling with customer service? Make a list.
  • Look for providers who ask questions about your business. If they're not curious during the sales process, they won't be invested in your success later.
  • Test the waters with a small project. See how they handle communication, deadlines, and unexpected challenges.
  • Trust your gut. If something feels off during the initial conversations, it probably is.


The Happy Ending (Or Rather, Beginning)

These days, my 3 AM panic sessions are a thing of the past. My secretarial services Singapore team handles the daily administrative tsunami while I focus on growing my business. They've even introduced me to efficiency tools I never knew existed.

Last week, I ran into Sarah again. "How's it going with your new team?" she asked. I couldn't help but smile. "They just handled a client crisis while I was in a day-long strategy session," I told her. "I didn't even know about it until they sent me the resolution summary."

That's the magic of finding the right secretarial services partner – they don't just take tasks off your plate; they give you the freedom to be the business owner you always wanted to be.

The Takeaway

As we navigate through 2025, finding the right support isn't just about delegating tasks – it's about building a partnership that helps your business thrive. Take your time, trust your instincts, and remember: the right secretarial services provider is out there, ready to help you write your own success story.

And who knows? Maybe next time you're up at 3 AM, it'll be because you had a brilliant business idea, not because you're buried in administrative tasks.
