Body temperature rose from 37.4°C to 38°C – how I hate this! Restless sleep. There was one good thing about it, however: I woke up at 3:00 with a headache and decided to re-read my Arabic lessons. Strangely, that worked.

WorldChanging talks about http://www.gapminder.org/ – maybe I should check it out. The point is to make global statistics accessible. Reminds me of the effort by MondeDiplomatique, ISBN 3-9806917-6-4.

Also compare the position of Israel and the West Bank & Gaza. PDF
