Cheap, but highly effective

Article Abstract:

Major companies use Master of Business Administration(MBA) students doing three-month projects as part of their course to solve problems cheaply. The companies often accept the recommendations and employ the students. This provides the opportunity to try new career areas or different departments within a company which rigidly keeps staff in the same department. One-fifthe of full-time MBA students gained employment in the firms for which they conducted their projects in 1991. Part-time and distance students usually have to tailor their project to their current job.

Noise and violence, then blessed silence

Article Abstract:

Complaints about domestic noise have doubled in the London Borough of Hackney between 1987 and 1992. They have increased by 34% during 1991/2. The involvement of environmental health officers often ends with victims moving out. Taking neighbours to court oneself is more effective. The complainant needs to prepare civil proceedings in nuisance and an affidavit describing exactly what happened.
