The writing about the song "Herr Mannelig"

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Do you ever look at stories, what are told about journeyman? Some of them are very attractive and impressive. And almost in every book or adventure movies, the main character is some kind of journeyman, who have very good experience about those situations, what happens in those books or films. That kind of stories are not new, and they are told by journeymen or somebody, who have met those journeymen. In this text I don't actually write about the song "Herr Mannelig", but I would use the video about this song as an innovator about this text.


One of the oldest songs of Sweden is "Herr Mannelig", what is the folk tradition. In this film, what opens from the link below the text, this main character is made for moving. The film or music video is made by some Swedish band called "Garmarna".  The writer of that song is not mentioned, but it is the story about the man, who denied to get married to the witch, who lived on some mountain. The story is very popular, and there are many presentations about this quite good Viking-era song.


The idea of this song or music video is that man tells some stories, what are very suspicious. A man or woman tells stories, about journeys and storms what the teller have been faced during the life, and of course, this person tells about the monster, who lived under the falls of somewhere in northern Norway, and the stories are fascinating and impressive. There is one very strange thing about the main character. He doesn't do anything in the boat, is he some kind of passenger, in this music video. They are stories about journeys to edge of the world, and in the first many people sees nothing to say about them, but then we must realize that there is one big question about the stories, what the journeyman tells, and that is, that this journeyman was always alone in those situations.



There is nobody, who can proof those worlds about great adventures of this Mannelig. Every person who were with him in those ships were somewhere else, when this stories have been told. In the video, the prime male character has the very good equipment, and here I must ask if he actually meant to introduce as a journeyman? The equipment of this character is too perfect for use of Viking tradesman. They look like soldiers equipment, and that might meant for the joke. But the film is very good support for this writing because my Swedish is not very good. And as you see the writing is my hobby, and that's why I'm writing this text.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

(Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments.

The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
