Maybe It'll be OK

 U.S. officials gave the Taliban a list of names of U.S. citizens, green card holders & Afghan allies to grant entry into the outer perimeter of the city’s airport, prompting outrage behind the scenes from lawmakers and military officials.

In my barrio, the Yanquis were considered childishly innocent. Thanks to Heaven, they have not changed.

The rearguard of the US Army was attacked by ISIS. So there are left two and not one armed force in Afghanistan, ensuring the inevitable civil war. According to MEMRI, the Taliban and the USA are allies in the fight against ISIS.

Peter Munk: The Wasted Life of Hungarian Jew

The University of Toronto Students’ Union (UTSU) board of directors voted at a meeting at the end of July to re-sign an open letter that demanded the university cancel a summer program in Israel and accused Israel of “genocide," according to The Varsity campus newspaper.

The letter also accused the university of being “complicit in the face of oppression and systematic change” if it did not cancel the summer program in Israel, “Coexistence in the Middle East Study Abroad” offered by the Munk School of Global Affairs.

Peter Munk, who died on March 28, 2018 at the age of 90, was one of Canada’s most successful entrepreneurs and one of its most passionate citizens. He was also an exceptionally generous philanthropist who, together with his wife, Melanie, gave the University of Toronto the landmark gift that established the Munk School of Global Affairs

After arriving in Canada in 1948 on a student visa, a few years after a narrow escape from Nazi-occupied Hungary, Peter earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Toronto. Recalling the warm welcome he received as a young man who arrived “not speaking your language, not knowing a dog,” retained lifelong gratitude to his alma mater and to Canada.

Another Project in South Israel

 

These Haredi folks are expanding and hired this alte pisher engineer. Yesterday it was a burning hell in the South -   36 degrees centigrade in shadow and there I was working. The way back took me two hours, because of the traffic (nothing special). Near the seaport, there was a queue of about a hundred heavy trailers. Whole neighborhoods are being built in the villages along the road, they look like the brand new cities in China. The whole day I was impressed by the vitality and activity of the South. Under a fiery sun. 

New Project

Perspectives of Potash

 

My best investment was in potash twenty years ago. Are the good times back? Mr Doyle, who organized the potash cartel, is absent. But last half-year potash has risen from the dead. Is it time to buy? I think so. 

Nutrien's new chief Mayo Schmidt said: "“The outlook for our business is exceptionally strong..."

AY3 Mutant in Israel. Don't Panic.

The Ministry of Health reported the AY3 coronavirus strain based on the Delta strain had been found in Israel. Half of the cases in Mississippi are AY3.

7,856 new coronavirus cases were diagnosed on Wednesday, representing 5.50% of the coronavirus test results received. There are currently 62,163 active coronavirus cases, and the country has so far seen 6,726 coronavirus deaths, including 17 who died on Tuesday and four who died Wednesday.

Nearly one thousand (994) coronavirus patients are hospitalized, including the 603 who are in serious condition, of whom 149 are in critical condition, with 106 patients intubated.

Earlier this month, the Health Ministry said that if Israel reaches 600-700 severe coronavirus cases, the country will need to lock down in order to avoid overwhelming the hospitals.

The reason for this is that Israel's hospitals are able to properly care for just 1,200 coronavirus patients, and reaching the Ministry benchmark would signal that hospitals would reach maximum capacity within the coming weeks.

This COVID is now like the flu, it has an annual season and it is a different strain each year.
