The aim of each true martial art is to allow the physically weak to defend themselves against the physically strong. So a true martial art should comprise only techniques, which also old people are able to perform. I certainly mentioned this the one or other time. Yet martial artists disagree on many things, even on […]

The name Lazarus is famous as the name of a man, who was by Jesus brought back from the dead. This story is told in the gospel of John. Paul Davidson in the comment section of his article on the Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man discusses with some of his readers whether this […]

The Creator of the universe from time to time still demonstrates that He controls everything. Maybe. I watched a televised interview with an American, who in the name of his christian faith messed with North-Korean authorities while in North Korea. So he became an inmate in a North Korean prison. While he was in pre-trial […]

On the one hand I’m into the martial arts because I’m slow and weak and clumsy. On the other hand being into the martial arts is my interpretation of my natal Mars being very strong. So does this mean that a strong natal Mars results in being slow and weak? Certainly not! Speed is a […]

Almost daily is reported about drones spotted above an airport or a crucial piece of infrastructure. Always is Russia accused. Although never anybody was caught, who had launched a drone. Poland had accused Russia of […]

Last month a story about Guì Jūnmín (桂 军民), a fifty-seven years old (this probably in 2017, so sixty-five years old meanwhile) sports industry professional from China, went viral. His wife Zhǎn Wénlián (展 文莲) suffered from lung cancer. She in 2017, while forty-eight years old, became the first person in China to undergo the […]

I’m already since the Australian R U OK Day thinking about whether to introduce the anime series Takopi’s Original Sin. If I fully believed in the German policy that suicides shall not be mentioned in public, then I couldn’t do so. Maybe I still shouldn’t, maybe I simply can’t resist. I at least want to […]
