 Nice. Minimalist. I have a tiger ink painting in my bedroom, but it must be a copy.

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?

Getting Ready for the War in the North


Pic from today's military leaders meeting in preparation for the coming Northern war. No one is smiling at the camera. There are things on the table that the Censor doesn't allow us to see. Cigarettes? Cheetos? Bamba? Bibles?

They use Panasonic Thoughbooks.

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.
