A customer found out that insulting car salesman is perhaps not the wisest course of action. The man had entered the Moscow car dealership and began drunkenly berating one of the staff. Unable to bear the insults any longer, the salesman then jumped to his feet and began punching the customer. No charges were brought for the incident and the salesman also kept his job, after promising to hold his temper in future. The customer was well known to those at the dealership and had caused a disturbance previously.

    The use of a material feeder in a road paving job in South Africa has helped increase productivity and quality on the project. The contractor employed a Vögele MT 3000-2 Offset PowerFeeder to help optimise pavement quality, with the positive paving results having been confirmed by the University of Twente, Netherlands. This body monitored the project from a scientific perspective and its equipment included RoadScan, the innovative temperature-measurement system from Vögele. Using a material feeder can

    Max Lay discusses how congestion has posed problems throughout history from early civilisation to the present day One of the earliest known human settlements was at the Springs of Elisha at Jericho. Inevitably, locals collecting fresh water from the springs would encounter other water carriers. When a path was too narrow, or access to it was too limited, or it crossed another path, some carriers would find it necessary to stand aside for others. Priority in such cases might be based on common courtesy and p
