More and more people are buying electric cars or considering one as their next purchase, but EVs do have a problem: the battery. The range for most cars isn’t where manufacturers and consumers would want it to be. Also, charging times can differ in speed, which can be a problem depending on what sort of trips you’re taking.
Then there’s the actual battery health to consider, as the battery will degrade in time, requiring an expensive replacement. That’s assuming buyers won’t rather buy a brand-new EV car.
The lifespan of an electric car’s battery also opens up environmental concerns. Ideally, that EV...

It's been four decades since Emmy-nominated actor Lloyd Haynes died of lung cancer at only 52 years old. Best known for his compassionate performance as history teacher Pete Dixon on television's groundbreaking, academic-geared dramedy, Room 222 (ABC, 1969-1974), Haynes was beloved by his fans, family, friends and colleagues alike. This is his story.

An investigation conducted by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), Britain’s national regulator for workplace health and safety, has determined that Premier Engineering Projects Ltd and M&M Mobile Crane Hire Ltd could have prevented the death of a 48-year-old self-employed engineer. Russell Hartley had been hired by Premier Engineering Projects to replace a Trisomat screen, better known as a ‘flip-flop,’ at a materials recycling facility. Mr. Hartley and his team of engineers were using a crane, which was supplied by M&M Mobile Crane Hire, to lift the flip-flop off a telehandler, which had its forks slightly raised. The machinery then fell forward off the forks, crushing Mr. Hartley.
