The authors of several martial arts blogs agree that you nowadays can’t know a person’s abilities from the person’s rank or belt color. Some people really live this, while other people, as judged from complaints on some blogs, certainly don’t. I now stumbled upon another blog post, which confirms the same things for jiu-jitsu.

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth had previously been a tv host and during that time wrote a book, which was published in 2020 and is named “American Crusade”. I know it only from hearsay. Pete Hegseth in this book compares the current era of history with the Crusades from the eleventh and twelfth century. […]

The ‘Catholic Answers’ magazine features an article, in which Islam and Communism are found to have some commonalities. These shall be contrary to Western values, which shall have originated from Catholicism. The commonalities really shouldn’t be a surprise because Islam and Communism both did learn from Catholicism. Islam and Communism in fact both are Catholicism’s […]

The Canadian journal Paediatrics & Child Health in 2010 reported the case of a toddler, who via the mother’s milk incorporated a deadly dose of opioids because of a medical drug, which the mother took. So-called experts used the case during many years to spread panic and to dissuade mothers from taking certain medical drugs. […]

Not only most christian laymen are Pacifists. Catholic Priests, too, are Pacifists. Also the two Catholic Priests in a tv show, which I from time to time watch, prayed for peace. This included the Priest, who in a previous episode of the same tv show advocated for war against Iran. But in that later episode, […]

The German Educational System was adapted to the large numbers of people, who since 2015 immigrated mainly from Arab countries. The adaptation consists of the integration classes, which teenage immigrants visit before they attend regular classes. Teenage immigrants at least are supposed to attend integration classes and subsequently regular school classes. A mathematician, who teaches […]
