These warning signs were pasted onto several gas pumps at a Smiths' gas station, located in North Las Vegas on Nellis and Stewart. The hazard in question is the "Extremely Flammable" gasoline, and the signs are warning against the usage of electronics, cigarettes, static, running your motor while using the gas pump, and any other items that could spark a fire and possibly lead to a massive explosion of fire. Overall, the signs were easy to understand, but only if the person reading them can read and comprehend English. Anyone who does not could face a bit of a problem. A quick hunt around the gas station proved that no other linguistic translations were readily available. The pictures on one of the signs, however, were not as easy to decipher
In about 1852 the Borough of Green Bay purchased a portion of a lot on the east side of South Washington Street just south of Walnut Street. That site is currently the southern end of the Backstage at the Meyer. To promote a permanent fire department, the borough built a two-story wooden engine house there and obtained a new hand pumper fire engine. A new fire company (named Alert) formed, but ceased operations within two years, as had two previous fire companies in 1841 and 1847.
The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire is one of the most well known fire that has every happened in American Industrial history. The company was owned by Max Blanck and Isaac Harris who were rumored to have purposely caught their past companies on fire to collect the large fire insurance payment. This was not the case with this fire but Harris and Blanck did not take responsibilities for safety measures. Deadly fires are bound to happen when the owners of a company neglect the safety of their workers and that is what caused this fire.
These are the survivors thoughts on the Triangle Factory Fire. There was over 100 survivors but I choose two of the most important people who lived from the fire and I am sharing their thoughts.
The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911 was one of the most lethal workplace tragedies in American history. 141 young women died that day, because of their unsafe work conditions. If they had fire extinguishers and a sprinkler system, or even just a better fire escape, no one would’ve had to die. The girls did not have access to these things however, because they were not required by law.
The fire accidents in underground tunnels are more dangerous than those above ground and have been conducted to analyse tunnel fire phenomena. Fire sources that determinesthe characteristics and type of a train tunnel fire remains inadequate. The characteristics of a passenger railcar fire based upon structures and interior materials of the railcar. The best method for determining the heat release rate for a railcar is to test the railcar itself by using the various fire scenarios. The full scale experiments are idea for collecting and analyzing the accurate data, they obtain the considerable amounts of expense and effort. .According to the location of ignition source,the fire propagation phenomena were analysed and measuring the mass loss
The picture I attached is from Ono Seafood located in town. It is a poke restaurant and it is very good! Ono is a term people use in pidgin to describe something that’s delicious and good, so Ono Seafood is used to describe Delicious Seafood! In my opinion the original audience for the sign would be locals and people who know what Ono means, but now it is so popular and people come from all over the world to eat there!
them. This sign is not really a sign, but is painted in white on the paved ground.
(Little et al, 2014, p. 5) This sign represents the sociological imagination because it introduces a problem in society: overdosing on drugs. The sign also has alternative ways to be safe at a party. It is a great representation of society looking out for one another. An organization came up with this clever way of getting an important message across to the public.
There is another sign saying that tabacco is bad. Next, there is another sign saying that they I.D., which shows that people cannot purchase alcohol or tabacco without their I.D. being shown. There is no sign about purchasing fire-arms. Next, there is a young man, who does not look very happy or okay, purchasing semi-automatic weapons, along with some ammunition. Lastly, there is an older lady, who does
Purpose To understand and observe the substances that can be identified by the flame color. To observe the colors produced by metallic ions when vaporized in a flame and to be able to identify unknown metallic ions by doing the flame test. Answers to Questions To identify the unknowns, the student could have looked at the flame using a direct vision spectroscope and then compare and observe the lines. Also, if the student had not cleaned the wire properly, then that would interfere with the color of the flame.
Be aware of all the signs the world is in peril before it is too late. In the music video, in order for Mayer’s supporters to express their message to the world is through graffiti. This is a unique choice because of the contradicting views associated with it. To the older generations it is viewed as a negative stereotype. It is a crime most associated with delinquents or gang members. But to the younger generations, gravity has evolved to a unique way in which individuals can express their feelings and bring light to difficult topics. Some even view it as a form of art. In the final scene of the video a group of young men reveal to the audience what they have drawn on a horizontal platform on top their apartment roof. In big bold letters the word EXPLOITED jumps out towards the audience. But the “o” is replaced by a shattered earth that shoots in all directions of the painting. The images in the background show a reason why those words have been written. On the left corner is a city of nuclear power plants polluting a plethora of harmful chemicals into the atmosphere. The smoke tends to drift to the right corner of the painting, illustrating what once seemed to be a dense forest. Instead the barren dirt soil upholds clusters of rotting trees with some still on fire from the harmful fumes. This image alone warns the viewers of pollution, even though
When you first glance the picture draws attention toward the words “was that text worth it?” Then you pan over and see what looks like a ghost of a lady who is all white and her mouth and eyes are black. It appears that she is laying in a coffin with a white sheet over her body only revealing her from the shoulders up. There are dark colors which implies they are serious with their message and do not want this to be a joke. The intended message is to not text and drive which is written under the main text. Implied by this picture is that no text is worth a life, and that if you text and drive your risk of
Young travels like myself aka millennials are starting to pay attention to the little things, such as complimentary items in our rooms, if the hotel is recycling, and so on. I run track for the University of Las Vegas so being that I’m apart of a collegiate team we travel very frequently. We travel from our neighboring state California all the way to Florida. The hotels that we stay in are usually unpredictable. One weekend our team might be staying in the W in Detroit, the next weekend we might stay in Marriot Fairfield in Washington State. The more I travel the more observant I become, especially of my hotel rooms. One thing that particularly stands out to me every time when checking into a new hotel room is the sign on my night stand that I would be able to put on the outside of my door to communicate with housekeeping, also known as a door hanger. A door hanger is a paper, plastic, cardboard, or wood sign generally rectangular shaped that hangs from a knob of a door to perform some type of communication to the guest or staff. A door hanger usually tells housekeeping that a room needs to be cleaned or the guest staying in the room want privacy. Depending on where you stay they might have paper or plastic door signs, some hotels have neither. I am on a team of 50 girls who live spontaneously. Sometimes they find humor in giving people a hard time. With that being said please do not be alarmed on what I am about to tell you. When my teammates see signs placed on the
The third image is the sign that is advertising the Pawn shop hours. The sign entitles that the shop is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Buffalo Bill knew that the Native Americans were always looking for a handout to satisfy their desires. He never took a break and apprehended any available opportunity any time of the day to gain earnings .He remained open and lured them in with the sign to inherit all of their property. He was so greedy that he did not sleep nor slumber until he took all the Native Americans had to offer.
The sign said Chet’s and below it was painted in cursive hand writing. You haven’t et yet if you ain’t et at Chet’s. The big black letters were painted on a white background and they made me smile.
