Once again this year, USI Klagenfurt was able to send a strong team to Innsbruck for the Unisport Austria Championships in mixed volleyball.
A total of two rounds were played in different groups of three. Based on the rankings of the individual teams, this resulted in a “gold” group (winners of each group), a ‘silver’ group (runners-up of each group), and a “bronze” group (third-place finishers of each group). In the “gold” group, places 1-3 were determined, in the ‘silver’ group places 4-6, and in the “bronze” group places 7-9.

Can you post a deepfake of a politician on Instagram? Or use an artist’s music in your video? Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

Wer die Diskussion in den Medien und im Bundestag in den vergangenen Wochen verfolgt hat, weiß: Kaum eine Frage erhitzt die Gemüter momentan so sehr, wie die nach der Zukunft der Rentenversicherung in Deutschland. Unterstützen bei der Suche nach einer Antwort soll eine neue „Alterssicherungskommission“, die das Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Soziales (BMAS) ins Leben gerufen hat. Am 17.
