Today the stock markets have lost another 4 to 7% of their value. The market is

Today I stumbled over an article in 20 Minutes, showing a volcano on Hawaii.
Being very active the rather flat landside allows a spectacular view. As far as

Today I stumbled upon a new description for public phones. While they were usually
described as “pencil” or “yellow mobile toilet” and some other descriptions, the Deutsche

The last days have been very busy and the world economy is still bouncy.

As of today the U.S. Government has agreed to raise the debt level under the condition
to lower debts and state costs by 2.7 billion dollars within the next 10 years.
