An international group of researchers recently found that heatwaves are on some places on our planet much hotter than any climate model was able to predict. The researchers tried to figure out the reason for this divergence. They suggest that dry spots become hotter and this leads to a positive feedback loop. I believe this […]

An article on the Dendê Arts blog asks the question whether capoeira is hard to learn and answers this question with no, not if you stick to your level of abilities.

All the tài-jí-quán (太極拳) masters, who ever got interviewed and asked about this topic, always answered that they aren’t able to do this, know nobody able to do this and also don’t believe […]
