TWith their bright, inquisitive faces, agile bodies, and deft little paws, they’ve been engaging and entertaining families for generations. Your decision to purchase a hamster may have been prompted by memories of a childhood friend. But whether this is your first ham- ster or just the first one you’ve had since you earned your allowance by cleaning the cage, you’ll want to know how to make life safe and fun for your new companion, for yourself, and for your family. How to Use This Book Hamsters are hoarders, who stuff their cheek pouches full of good- ies they may want to eat later. Think of this book the same way: as your secret cache of knowledge that you can use a little at a time, or all at once. You may have picked up this book along with your new hamsterCOPYRIGHTED at the pet shop, or maybe youMATERIAL decided to read up on these animals before making a purchase. No matter where you started, this book tells you where to go next. If you’re interested in the history of the breed, I’ve included some tidbits of olde hamster for you to enjoy, but if you want to cut to the chase, I’ve made that easy too. -

From University of Prague, Czechoslovakia, and later became lecturer in these three animals H. Ben Menahem in Adler's laboratory quickly zoology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He was a pioneer in established that this species breeds readily in captivity. Thus, the the study of the fauna of Israel and its neighboring countries, es Syrian golden hamster, M. auratus, replaced the hard to obtain pecially Syria and Turkey. Aharoni discovered many species of Chinese hamster, Cricetus griseus, which Adler had to import from the animals hitherto unknown, and he succeeded in raising the golden Orient for his studies on kala azar. Since then Syrian hamsters have hamster that became one of the important experimental animals been used in laboratory research throughout the world at the rate for medical research.

86-99 (2000) 70 Jahre Goldhamster in Menschlicher Obhut – Wie Groß Sind Die Unterschiede Zu Seinen Wildlebenden Verwandten?
publiziert in: Tierlaboratorium 23: 86-99 (2000) 70 Jahre Goldhamster in menschlicher Obhut – wie groß sind die Unterschiede zu seinen wildlebenden Verwandten? Rolf Gattermann Zusammenfassung Der Goldhamster gehört zu den wohletablierten Versuchstieren und ist eines der populärsten Heimtiere in der westlichen Welt. Alle Labor- und Heimtierpopulationen stammen ursprüng- lich von einer Bruder-Schwester-Paarung aus dem Jahre 1930 ab. Bis heute kommen fast alle Daten über Verhalten, Chronobiologie, Immunologie und Physiologie von Laborstämmen. Wir haben 19 wilde Goldhamster an drei verschiedenen Orten im natürlichen Verbreitungsge- biet in der Nähe von Aleppo/Syrien gefangen und einen neuen Zuchtstamm etabliert. Die ers- ten Resultate vergleichender Studien zeigen für die domestizierten Stämme eine drastische Reduktion der genetischen Variabilität. Bei den verhaltensbiologischen, chronobiologischen, morphometrischen, hämatologischen und biochemischen Parametern haben wir jedoch nur geringe Differenzen zwischen den Labor- und Wildgoldhamstern gefunden. Sie entsprechen den üblichen Variationen zwischen Versuchstierstämmen. Außer der Übersicht zu ersten Re- sultaten werden Fakten zur natürlichen Lebensweise und zur Kulturgeschichte des Goldhams- ters mitgeteilt. Abstract The golden hamster is one of the best established experimental animals and probably among the most popular pests in the western world. The entire laboratory and pet populations origi- nated basically from a single brother-sister pairing back in 1930. Until today almost all data on the behaviour, chronobiology, immunology and physiology have been obtained from labo- ratory strains. We caught 19 wild golden hamsters at three different localities of their natural distribution area near Aleppo/Syria and established a new breeding stock. The first results of comparative studies revealed a drastically reduced genetic variability in domestic strains. -

COLLECTORS AND COLLECTIONS IN PALESTINE 1 COLLECTORS AND COLLECTIONS IN PALESTINE AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE OTTOMAN ERA* Introduction Ottoman rule over Palestine lasted for four hundred years, from the late Middle Ages until the second decade of the 20th century. Over this period, the 19th and early 20th centuries stand out as a time of particularly sweeping and far-reaching change. At the end of the eighteenth century, the Ottoman Empire extended from Morocco to Persia, from Mecca to Moldavia, and from the Balkans it penetrated deep into central Europe. The Muslim sultan governed this enormous territory and all of its popu- lation from his seat of power in Constantinople, and the area was divided for this purpose into twenty-five to thirty provinces. Each province was further divided into several administrative districts. Palestine was one of the empire’s administrative districts1. In the early 19th century it was a godforsaken area. It was a derelict region, with a primitive economy and a culturally backward population, which sub- sisted on a dismally low standard of living. Its population was sparse and impoverished, and the few towns in existence were under-developed and badly maintained, as were the small number of neglected tracks and roads which connected them. The main reason for these conditions was Palestine’s insignificant contributions to the revenues and to the military resources of the Ottoman Empire. During the 19th century however, and especially during the 1880s, the land underwent extensive change. The relatively tolerant Egyptian conquest of the country from 1831 through 1839, the Crimean War from 1853 through 1856, the decline of the Empire’s military strength, its territorial pullback, and the growing influence of European penetration * The following article is based on a chapter out of a Doctorate Dissertation written at Bar Ilan University’s Department of Jewish History, discussing: The Beginning of Museums and Collections in Late Ottoman Palestine (1848-1917), Ramat Gan, 2006. -

The Jerusalem Station. THE JAFFA AND JERUSALEM RAILWAY. By Selah Merrill. If ever an act seemed like sacrilege it is the introduction of a railroad into Palestine, with the sound of whistle and rushing train among the old and quiet hills of Judea. Everybody believes, however, that Providence is guiding the march of civilization, hence there can be nothing unholy in the fact that its advanced guard has reached the walls of ancient Jerusalem. We had already the post-office, the management of which has notably improved during the past ten years ; we had also the telegraph ; and while one should not expect too much of Oriental lightning, and must sometimes be satisfied if it makes a full hundred miles in forty-eight hours, still the natives, both high and low, are gradually waking up to the idea that it means promptness and rapidity—that it is a kind of annihilator of space. But it was reserved for the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-two to introduce here the railway, with all its strange and stirring life. -
