  • Criminology

CONT

A shortchange artist prefers to operate on careless or inexperienced cashiers. His goal is to confuse the cashier during a money transaction by changing his mind in the middle of a purchase. One common method used by a shortchange artist is to make a $.50 purchase and pay with a $20 bill, then suddenly changes his mind and decides to pay with a $1.00 bill. He will hand back the change from the $20 bill after pocketing $10 and produce the $1.00 bill to buy the item. An experienced cashier won’t realize ten dollars is missing from the $20 change. During the exchange of money, the shortchange artist usually tries to take the cashier’s mind from her work by talking about his job, family, sad story, etc. hoping the cashier won’t notice the missing $10 bill.

[...] Manœuvre frauduleuse encore, celle de l'escroc inexactement appelé «voleur au rendez-moi». Il est clair, en effet, que cet individu, en demandant la monnaie du billet de 50 F qu'il exhibe sans encore le remettre, et auquel il substitue adroitement au moment de la remise un billet de 10 F, ne commet pas un vol, mais une escroquerie.

  • Special Rail Transport
  • Freezing and Refrigerating
  • Food Industries
CONT

Trucking has always been the mode of choice for shipping refrigerated product. But with recent developments in technology, the railways are becoming more confident they can measure up as a viable service alternative ... A few weeks ago, US-based Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF), ran its first all-refrigerated train from Illinois to California. It carried frozen product at a constant temperature for the entire 69-hour trip. There were no re-fuelling stops and so far, no cases of food spoilage ... When you put a trailer on a train, there’s nobody really looking after it, so if loads go bad or (the units) run out of fuel they don’t notice until it’s too late. The difference with the BNSF service is the whole train is refrigerated and therefore gets constant attention.

Subject field(s)
  • Soil Improvement and Fertilizer Management
  • Plant and Crop Production
CONT

It’s a good idea to prepare your garden soil a couple of weeks ahead of planting, too. Tilling the soil early will fool weeds into germinating early, and you can then pull them to reduce competition with your seedlings. When there is no longer any risk of frost, take the seedlings out of the pots and plant them into the garden. Water regularly (but don’t over water) and feed with a high quality fertilizer like PINK Vigoro or Instant Vigoro Water Soluble Plant Starter 10-52-10.

CONT

It’s time to repot when you notice either of the following conditions: your plant needs water daily because it won’t hold any moisture or large roots are pushing through the drain hole. In both cases the root system has grown so big that very little soil is left in the pot. Find a slightly larger container, and transplant using good quality soil. To avoid or minimize transplant shock handle the roots gently and water well after repotting. A good plant starter fertilizer like 10-52-10 will help encourage root growth.
