West Nile Virus

The Virus looks like a complicated chemical machine, designed to kill humans. West Nile virus (WNV) is a neurotropic flavivirus that cycles between mosquitoes and birds but that can also infect humans, horses, and other vertebrate animals. In most humans, WNV infection remains subclinical. However, 20%–40% of those infected may develop WNV disease, with symptoms ranging from fever to meningoencephalitis. It is now present in Israel, carried by mosquitoes.  Don't we have enough troubles that this thingie comes to make our life even more dangerous?

They use Panasonic Thoughbooks. 

Bread Help Only for Non Jewish Children

 

Budapest, 1944.

Do we need to explain why Israel?

Hairless Cat

One friend had one in Kfar Saba. Entertaining as it climbed cupboards and jumped from the top of one cabinet to the other. 

Russian Blue Cat

This cat, originally from the Amur region, is not really blue but grey. But soon someone will find a blue gene and this cat will come in shining metallic blue. There is a lot of money to be made in genetics. 

Is Los Angeles safe for Jews?

 

There was a large pro-Palestinian demonstration on Wilshire Avenue in Los Angeles, blocking the entrance to the synagogue on Pico Boulevard, where an event on real estate investment in Israel was being held. 

This Hamas war is hurting us.

Wasting time

 
The problem of being retired and working is that there is no one to urge me to finish the project. So I waste my irreplaceable time watching serval cats.
