BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

The spear is mightier than the drone

There's no place for a drone at a medieval reconstruction competition, unless it's being forced out of the sky by a rogue spear.

The drone was hovering over a battle scene at the Russian competition when a man dressed in a medieval costume apparently objected to the invasion of privacy and launched his spear at it, knocking it to the ground, a YouTube video taken by the drone shows.

According to some media reports, the drone wasn't completely destroyed, and the man has already compensated its owner.

Just goes to show that even the most up-to-date gadgets aren't impervious to technology dating back to the Iron Age.
