Trip and they will catch you
Article Abstract:
The UK's Festival Medical Services is a team of volunteer doctors and nurses who offer medical care at rock festivals which take place during the summer. They most frequently have to deal with sprained, fractured and broken ankles, although many other medical problems can arise. The team includes trained psychiatric staff, as it is common for people to suffer psychological problems as a result of taking drugs. The doctors and nurses greatly enjoy their work at rock festivals, regarding it as an opportunity to mix with young people and see treatment through to its conclusion.

A private eye on piracy
Article Abstract:
There was a 20% rise in software piracy rates in 1996, according to the Business Software Alliance, and it is believed that around half of all the software in the world is now illegal. The problem has become particularly serious since highly organized gangs became involved. The European Leisure Software Publishers Association reports that it can be very difficult to secure full police involvement in cracking down on software piracy, especially in the UK. Some manufacturers are now seeking to reduce piracy levels by employing their own specialized staff.
