Robbins puts spring in its sleep
Article Abstract:
Robins Sports Surfaces shows that by using their flooring systems in sports facilities would not result in injuries through an advertisement showing a person about to land safely. The advertisement shows good visual appeal and the text is done in a typeface that is easy to read. Moreover, the text is persuasive as in the following example: 'Biomechanically engineered to be the highest performance sports floors you can buy, Robbins patented biocushion systems are also the most forgiving.' This claim is substantiated by additional text showing that these floors have been tested and conform to quality standards.

Nasty, ubiquitous and unloved
Article Abstract:
Skinheads in Central Europe tend to be violent, and target gypsies in particular. There are an estimated 70,000 skinheads holding neo-Nazi views worldwide, and some 25% of these are found in central Europe. Hungary and the Czech Republic have almost as many as Germany. Over 1,600 racial attacks have been reported since 1991 in the Czech Republic, and many attacks are not reported because the victims may not trust the police. There have been moves to tackle the problem, such as the police hiring gypsies to advise them.
