Eire: Irish Language Origins – New DNA Study Traces Celtic Roots to Central Europe! (12.11.2026)

His research seeks to establish when and where a common ancestor of all Celtic languages emerged by examining connections and differences in the words people used and how they constructed sentences.

The latest genetic research provides “a very strong argument” that early Celtic languages moved westwards from around 1200 BC with people associated with the Bronze Age Urnfield culture of central Europe, followed by the Iron Age Hallstatt and La Tène cultures. The languages spread into France and Great Britain, eventually reaching north-eastern Spain.

This closely matches the model developed by historical linguists for the spread of Celtic from central Europe. However, Mr Kroonen and his colleagues note that an earlier migration from south-western Europe to Britain means the process was “potentially more complex”.

China: Progressive Disability – Expanding the limits of Quantum Information! (30.10.2026)

During his three years as a master’s student, Wang developed a keen interest in quantum information, leading him to pursue a PhD under the guidance of professor He Kan.

He only asked if Wang could use a computer normally, and upon receiving an affirmative answer, welcomed him wholeheartedly. The university provided special accommodation, including a single dorm room with a private bathroom, to facilitate his studies and daily life.

The path of research was not without obstacles. Professor Meng Xiangyi from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the United States became a crucial ally. Wang found himself stuck at a critical point in his research, unable to find a breakthrough. “When I was at a loss, I organized my problems and sent an email to Professor Meng,” he said.

Japan Responsible for Mongolian Forest Fire! 2026

The idea was to weaken it further by encouraging the Kremlin to divert troops into Asia. However, despite the material damage suffered – the USSR absorbed the losses and due to it Socialist system – was able to recover in a remarkably short-time. In just three-months of defeating the Nazi Germans – the war-weary Soviet Red Army was restructured, re-trained, and re-armed. However, the Soviets requested help from Socialist Mongolia – which was granted (Mongolia had not been involved in WWII). The Soviet Red Army entered Manchuria alongside the People’s Army of Socialist Mongolia which assisted in the destruction of he occupying Imperial Japanese. Due to the post-1945 US policy of placating a defeated Japan – Japan has not had to acknowledge, apologise, or make amends for the War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity its forces committed in China (and Asia) between 1931-1945. Today, Japan has followed the US example and elected a far-right leader – who denies War Crimes and sends tributes to the shrines dedicated to Japan’s historical War Criminals (Yes – the Americans permitted the establishment of these hideous entities). Japanese behaviour outside of Japan has become ever-more militant, destructive, and unpredictable in recent times. Many believe this fire was deliberate – and that the Japanese leadership is behind it.

UK: On Why Genuine Buddhism is “Anti-Capitalist”! (22.10.2026)

22/10/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

For most people the reality of everyday life involved a mutually supporting communal-activity (a “Sangha”) with “bartering” reserved for the importing or exporting of goods and services. Every member of such communities was a) entitled to all the goods and services of that community, and b) was expected to contribute to the generating of those goods and services. Within the Vinaya Discipline, the Buddha states that the lay-community may participate in any form of “honest” (bloodless) commerce that may (or may not) involve the handling of money (coinage or otherwise). A lay-household must ethically budget to a) supporting itself, and b) the broader community (through charitable donations) – as well as “saving” money (or goods) for emergencies and hard-times. Part of this lay-budgeting involves the lay-household giving waste food and water to the bhikkhus (beggars) of the Buddha as they slowly (and consciously) “walked” through their neighbourhood on a daily basis. The reward is karmically-premised – as this action permits these monastics to pursue the Dhamma in the purest manner. The bhikkhus are “freed” from the requirement of their participating in the world of cyclic existence and this attracts an immeasurable measure of great and good karma. (The situation in China is slightly different – as although the laity is free to donate as little or as much as they like [thus generating good karma] – the monastics must grow their own vegetarian food – and not be a burden to any other community). As for the bhikkhus (and bhikkhunis) there is to be NO participation in the worldly activities associated with commerce. This is because all greed, hatred, and delusion must be uprooted during meditation practice from the mind and body.

UK: London’s Holborn Viaduct! (18.10.2026)

18/10/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

It seems that London had evolved into to two levels – creating steep inclines and bottle-necks. Movement was inefficient and caused traffic-jams and congestion. The government needed to reduce the ability of workers to come together in ad hoc and agitated groups. Therefore, engineers and architects were tasked with creating sturdy bridges that could handle weight and continuous usage – whilst functioning to link one level of existence to another. In a way, the design – at least the steps – remind me of multi-storey car-parks – although in a much more ornate state. Like the original Tube network – thousands of working-class men (many Irish) – dedicated their lives to building these structures. Of course, these ordinary men (who performed all the labour) are not remembered – but only the middle-class who control the means of production. It is through architecture that the current generation gains an understanding of what physically existed and came before them. Through physical structure – the thoughts that were in the mind of the creators can be seen in stone, wood, and cement. Furthermore, the statues tell something about the values and belief of the time.

Magnus Hirschfeld & Chinese Boyfriend - Li Shiu Tong ( 李兆堂)

Germany: Magnus Hirschfeld & Chinese Boyfriend “Li Shiu Tong”! (12.10.2026)

12/10/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Whether or not the Hong Kong-born (British Subject) – Li Shiu Tong (李兆堂) [1907-1996] – was his lover is open to debate – but the weight of evidence does seem to suggest that he was (either Li’s Chinese family understood he was gay and approved of it – or they did not fully comprehend what was happening – and mistook his travelling abroad as being the product of his clever and successful scholarship). Hirschfeld was around 49-years his senior. I will attempt to look-up a reliable Chinese-language biography of Li and translate it for this blog. After the death of Hirschfeld – Li tended to drift toward the idea that LGBTQ identities are partly genetic and partly environmental. Li studied medicine in Shanghai – but never finished his degree – and even studied at Harvard, again without completely his degree. He was obviously very intelligent and managed to leave China and hold his own in the West. Li died in Canada aged 86 – with his younger brother dealing with his affairs. Reports suggest most of his Western property (much of it inherited from Hirschfeld – was thrown into a public skip. Indeed, a passerby is said to have rescued some of it – including the text-books, notes, and even the death-mask of Hirschfeld.
