Definition: The All Natural red flag claims that anything ‘natural’ is the best for you, healthy, safe or exceptional and anything ‘artificial’, ‘synthetic’ or ‘man-made’ is not good for you. Opium, botulism, unprocessed dairy products are natural but have the potential to cause severe illness.

Connection: This video shows just how advertising and marketing are able to manipulate the use of the term All Natural for the purposes of profit. It also explains how the term s used without any type of government regulation.

Video shows no touch martial artist claim he'll block out every attack

But he receives a heavy dose of reality and is punched multiple times

Stuntman Alexandr Litvinenko or 'Alex Lee' teaches him a new lesson

This is the moment a no touch 'energy shield master' receives a heavy dose of reality after he invites a professional martial artist to punch him in the face.

Stuntman Alexandr Litvinenko or 'Alex Lee', a seven-time martial arts champion of Ukraine, proves to be more than a match for the resistance specialist in a video which has re-emerged on social media.

The 36-year-old, who lives in New York, is asked to hit the master who says he can neutralize the threat with just the impulse of his hand movements.

Wearing a black shirt Alexandr strikes out, but his first punch is defended and he is slapped in the face.

The no touch master struggles to hide his smile after his successful move.

But although the unidentified man with blonde hair manages to fend of the first attack, he is then caught up in a bruising flurry of punches which knocks him to the ground.

Onlooking students are sent the unintended message that a no touch martial arts system may not be as effective a technique as the master likes to think.

The five-foot-seven stuntman teaches the no touch practitioner a new lesson.

Alexandr uploaded the footage to his YouTube channel in 2012 and the match-up occurred in 2009, but his video has recently been trending again on the internet.

Under the video Alexandr wrote that the man had in fact asked him to only simulate a punch to his face, so he could non-violently show how he would block it.

Yet after receiving a slap to the face from the master Alexandr decided to show the man the futility of his technique.

It is not clear where the class took place.

On his YouTube About page the Ukrainian describes himself as a professional 'Actor, Stunt coordinator, Master Martial Arts. World-class athlete, a 7-time champion of Ukraine, European and world champion at the contact combat sports'. (sic)

Definition: Patternicity is when people will see a defined image in a non specific cluster of images. Or, seeing something where there is nothing. Like Jesus on your toast....

Connection: The webpage cited discusses the human need for clarification and clarity amidst a chaotic situation and thus Patternicity is created.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Humans have a tendency to see patterns everywhere. That's important when making decisions and judgments and acquiring knowledge; we tend to be uneasy with chaos and chance (Gilovich, 1991). Unfortunately, that same tendency to see patterns in everything can lead to seeing things that don't exist.
