The market dismisses the Gaza War


We are in the third month of the Gaza War, and TASE levels have reached and surpassed its pre-war heights. My impression is that the investors feared more the civil disorders of the "Democracy" protests (of course, it had nothing to do with democracy, it was organized by Ehud Barak and the intelligence services, to overthrow "Bibi" Netaniyahu without a democratic election) than the current war against HAMAS.  In fact, the US$ returned to 3.6 shekels, where has not been for a long time. Israel is cheap again and we are prospering.  The leaders of HAMAS (pic) are still fighting.

Why is ICL potash fertilizer so cheap?


 I don't know how the price of potash fertilizers is fixed. But is losing altitude and is about to crash. Should I throw it out of the Montgolfier to alighten its weight?

Novedades (Spanish)

Novedades en el Mundo: Nacio Ivri, cuarta generacion kibutznik , nieto.  El peso argentino devaluado y los precios se doblaron.  La demanda de procesadores explota a 1000 billones de US$ por ano, y yo apuesto a AMD. ZAHAL combate bajo tierra. Sone que retorne a Yamit.

Phlebotomy

 

    Around midday I received the results of my blood test taken at 800 AM. Kupat Holim is super-efficient. Everything within normal limits, except for ferritin, which is 450 mg/lt or so (300 is normal for men). What is the meaning? My body hoards iron within a protein capsule (see model left). It could be hereditary, could be some kind of anemia, could  be liver problems. The internet says phlebotomy (blood letting) is indicated. Wifey says I always had excess ferritin. I don't know, I have no iron spots on my hand, but they sure will appear with time. Life is finite. So depressing.

Coffee

 


Coffee contains Vitamin B2, magnesium, polyphenols and other compounds that have antioxidant properties. It is therapeutic for liver disease and can reduce risk for heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. Drinking three to five cups a day “has been consistently associated with a reduced risk of several chronic diseases.”

0.7 Genetic Distance


"In no time period were there (in Egypt) populations that seemed to be even close to SSAs. Western Bantus score around 0.7 distance. This isnt races apart or even subspecies apart (using the same standards regarding genetic distance that we apply to animals, this is species apart)."

The Authorities are sending an Alert to Israeli citizens showing the 80 countries to avoid. All Africa, most of Europe and South America. Even Argentina is dangerous for us.
