I have just read an article on “austriantimes.at” and it talks about the inflation.
Basically what it says is that the inflation in May was just 0.3 per cent year on year and that’s the smallest monthly rise since April 1999.

Statistik Asutria reported that prices in May were 0.3 per cent higher than in April.

The state statistics agency said that the May increasewould have been 1.8 per cent if the prices of fuel and heatin oil had not fallen by so much during the past year.


I have just read an article on „austriantimes.at“ and It talks about the traces of cocaine in the Red Bull coke.
Basically what it says is that the Austrian agency AGES found cocaine in Red bull.Futhermore the Austrian health service said that there was no danger of becoming addicted because ther isn't enough cocaine in the drink.

What surprised me most were the facts that the energy drink lost its status as a foodstuff and became subject to the German narcotics Act and that in nightclubs the demand for Red Bull coke is still increasing.

Dress Codes


In many British Schools students have to wear school uniforms. The reason for that is that everyone should look the same and nobody should see the difference between the poor and rich students. But in my opinion, schooluniforms are nonsense. Every student should be allowed to wear what he likes and show his own style. After a while the schooluniform gets boring and its very unpleasent if everybody at school wears the same as you. An advantage of the school uniform is that the students have no stress in the morning, beacause they don´t have to think about what they should wear. I think, schooluniforms in many schools looks very funny, and the students would be much happier if they were allowed to wear what they like.
