Lithium perhaps an Essential Mineral

Researchers sometimes, especially recently, figure out so trite things like vitamins and essential minerals being healthy for your body. In previous decades would to figure out things, which you should know since elementary school, have been embarrassing. If such studies would at least be about micro-nutrients, about which really isn’t known whether they all are […]

On some DC Superheroes (1)

To the start of the new ‘Superman’ (in this article series, though not limited to it, Superman denotes the whole story or mythology, Superman denotes its protagonist, and ‘Superman’ denotes a single piece of artwork like a movie or tv series or a volume of a graphic novel; likewise with the names of other superheroes) […]

Grabbing Wrists as a Defensive Technique?

Dejan Djurdjevic knows almost only disadvantages of grabbing an opponent. Dejan Djurdjevic in another of his essays goes so far to assert that grabbing the opponent’s wrist during the opponent’s punch would be impossible. The only problem, which I have with that is that many martial arts, including the by Dejan Djurdjevic appreciated traditional karate, […]

The Definition of Mêlée

The first thing, which must be said about this topic, is that different definitions of the mêlée exist. Dejan Djurdjevic defines the mêlée as a fighting range between grappling range and kicking range or with other words as the appropriate range for punches. Although he also teaches that kicks should stay within punching range. Thus […]

German Governments as wells as German Judiciary Ignores Germany’s Basic Law

Though Martin Armstrong’s blog contains many good reads and I learnt a lot from it, Martin Armstrong also spreads nonsense, which needs to get corrected.

By the way, a word, which isn’t heard frequently anymore in the last time. Luke instead still is believed to have the authority to tell what are prerequisites for getting resurrected […]

Some festivals require their special places, for example a bonfire can only be made outdoors. So the St. John Bonfire in my […]

Women in Buddhism

A student of the historical Buddha once wanted to know how those, who seek salvation, should behave regarding women. The historical Buddha replied that his students at best pretend that women won’t be around at all. Whether the historical Buddha, who grew up as a prince, knew that ignoring them makes somebody irresistible to women? […]
