  • The Last Black Man in San Francisco
    THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO 4 .11. 18 Screenplay by Story by Joe Talbot & Rob Richert Joe Talbot & Jimmie Fails 1 EXT. HP SHIPYARDS / HP BUS STOP - SUNRISE An eight-year-old African-American girl with knockers in her hair stands on a desolate sidewalk behind yellow caution tape. She licks a candy and gazes upwards – spellbound. A man in a hazmat suit glides along the pavement, Darth Vader breaths heaving from his space-mask. He loads pieces of trash and plants into hazardous waste bags. In the distance, more men in hazmats crawl along a decaying dock, collecting various items. The little girl breaks her gaze and begins down the street, running her hand along the caution tape. A voice appears. PREACHER (O.S.) Why they got suits on and we don't? Something is going on right in front of our face. But you stuck on your i-phone, j-phone 12, whatever. Blow up in your hand! You cant Google whats goin’ on right now. They lucky I’m a man of god now. Or I’d suicide bomb this mother-. Tracking with her, we land on a black man in his Sunday best. He stands on a box, shouting at nobody in particular. PREACHER Are ya’ll paying attention? Why do they have suits on and we don’t?... Why?!?! Listen to me man! An old lady drives by and honks supportively at the Preacher. He waves without breaking focus. PREACHER They here to clean this water? Man, this water been funky as the devils mouth for fifty years and now they wanna clean it up?!?!… Not for you and me, no sir! They got plans for us.

    MA FACE Occupational Fatality Report Municipal Foreman Killed When Struck by a Backhoe Loader Outrigger While in an Excavation - Massachusetts Release Date: March 30, 2016 Massachusetts Department of Public Health Investigation: # 14-MA-003-01 Occupational Health Surveillance Program SUMMARY On February 4, 2014, a 48-year-old male general foreman (victim) employed by a local municipal water department was fatally injured while repairing a water line break. The victim was inside an excavated hole located in a roadway with three other co-workers. A backhoe loader was positioned near the trench with its outriggers extended and bucket attachment resting inside the dump section of a dump truck. The backhoe loader was unintentionally pulled forward when the dump truck was driven forward. As the backhoe loader was pulled forward, the outrigger on the right side struck the victim and dragged him out of the excavated hole. A police officer performinng a traffic detail was on site and placed a call for emergency medical services (EMS). EMS, the fire department and the local and state police arrived at the incident location within minutes. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. Contributing factors identified in this investigation included resting the backhoe bucket attachment in the dump truck when not being used, lack of communication among workers, not closing the roadway during the repair resulting in a limited work area, and absence of a safety and health program. The Massachusetts FACE Program concluded that to prevent similar occurrences

    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 11, Issue 6, June-2020 ISSN 2229-5518 536 Mono Wheel Electric Vehicle 1Manjunatha G, 1Naheen Pasha C, 1Muzammil Ahmed K,1Sainath, 2Dharamendara M. School of Mechanical Engineering, REVA University, Bengaluru Abstract: Mono wheel as the name indicates consists of a single wheel. the main principle involved is application of GYROSCOPE. The main aim of Monowheel is that it reduces the space occupied compared to other vehicle and environment friendly.Electrical vehicles can become a key to personal transportation in the environment where atmospheric pollution must be restricted, traffic conjunction is a severe issue and parking space is big concern especially in urban areas. Considering all these issues there is immense necessity of developing the transportation system that will be able to solve these problems. Developing a one-wheeled electric vehicle which has features that can over-come all the problems mentioned above since it has small longitudinal length and low carbon footprint. An electric unicycle is a self-balancing personal transporter with a single wheel. The rider controls the speed by leaning forwards or backwards, and steers by twisting the unit using their feet. The self-balancing mechanism uses gyroscopes and accelerometers in a similar way to that used by the Segway PT.

In he environment where atmospheric pollution increasing by conventional vehicle must be restricted, traffic conjunction is also a major issue and parking space is big concern especially in urban areas.
