Nt "Hallway chair", it's called a "Side Chair". So moar can sit at the SIDE of a table instead of at the "Head of The Table", where an arm chair would be placed, for the host and hostess. Chairs like this would be sold in sets, depending on the size of the table, Shaker style chairs not included, so they could be stored on wall pegs, when not in use, hence the use of "ladderbacks" everyone in ShakerLand's wall height and peg board placement would be different.

actually, the lesson from Helene is the opposite from that being promoted.

 

In 1933, the Tennessee Valley Authority was given the mandate for flood control in the valley of the Tennessee River and its tributaries. Over the next 40 years, they built 49 dams, which, for the most part, accomplished their goal. Whereas floods in the Tennessee were once catastrophic, younger people are mostly unaware of them.

 

The French Broad River (Asheville) is an upstream tributary where flood control dams weren't constructed due to local opposition.

 

Rather than the devastation of Hurricane Helene on Asheville illustrating the effect of climate change, the success of the flood control dams in other sectors of the Tennessee Valley illustrates the success of the TVA flood control program where it is implemented.

 

Hurricane Helene did not show the effect of climate change, but what happens to settlements in Tennessee Valley tributaries under "natural" flooding (i.e. where flood control dams have been rejected.)

To all the people going apeshit about Hurricane Helene and the flooding associated with its remnants, whatever happened to the rule “weather ≠ climate”?

 

Does that rule only apply to skeptics who [incorrectly] attempt to use cold air outbreaks or snowstorm as evidence against…

I should add that, in its first 40 years, the TVA built 49 flood control dams, of which 29 were power-generating. In the subsequent 50 years, TVA built 0 flood control dams, However, in the 1980s, they established the Carbon Dioxide Information Centre (CDIAC) under their nuclear division, which sponsored much influential climate research, including the CRU temperature data (Phil Jones) and Michael Mann's fellowship from which Mann et al 1998 derived. In 1990, the parents of Crowdstrike's Dmitri Alperovich moved from Russia to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where his father was a TVA nuclear engineer. Dmitri moved to Tennessee a few years later. One can't help but wonder whether TVA's original mandate for flood control got lost in the executive offices, attracted by more glamorous issues, such as climate change research. If so, one could reasonably say that a factor in the seeming abandonment of TVA efforts to complete its original flood control mandate (e.g. to French Broad River which inundated Asheville) was partly attributable to diversion of TVA interest to climate change research, as opposed to its mandate of flood control.

 

another thought. As soon as the point is made, it is obvious that flood control dams have reduced flooding. Not just in Appalachia. I've looked at long data for water levels in Great Lakes and the amount of fluctuation (flooding) after dams installed is much reduced.

And yet my recollection of public reporting of climate is that weather extremes, including flooding, is getting worse. But in areas with flood control dams, it obviously //isn't// getting worse than before. It's better. Note to self: check IPCC reports for their specific findings on flooding.

What?! A journalist of Christiane Amanpour's skill and integrity would never let a shifty Middle Eastern politician lie like this. How dare you.

#Lebanon Foreign Minister (and apparently the whole political cast) now claiming that right before #Israel killed Nasrallah, the #Hezbollah chief had agreed to untie Lebanon’s ceasefire from Gaza.

To appreciate how big this lie is, remember that Nasrallah was killed while meeting with his top military brass and Iranian IRGC general, because when people want a ceasefire, they huddle with the generals.

Yazidi woman freed from Gaza in U.S.-led operation after decade in captivity

 

Oct 3rd, 09:09:31

 

By Timour Azhari

 

BEIRUT (Reuters) -A 21-year-old woman kidnapped by Islamic State militants in Iraq more than a decade ago was freed from Gaza this week in an operation led by the United States, U.S. and Iraqi officials said.

 

The operation also involved Israel, Jordan and Iraq, according to officials.

 

The woman is a member of the ancient Yazidi religious minority mostly found in Iraq and Syria which saw more than 5,000 members killed and thousands more kidnapped in a 2014 campaign that the U.N. has said constituted genocide.

 

She was freed after more than four months of efforts that involved several attempts that failed due to the difficult security situation resulting from Israel's military offensive in Gaza, Silwan Sinjaree, chief of staff of Iraq's foreign minister, told Reuters.

 

She has been identified as Fawzia Sido. Reuters could not reach the woman directly for comment.

 

Iraqi officials had been in contact with the woman for months and passed on her informaiton to U.S. officials, who arranged for her exit from Gaza with the help of Israel, according to a source familiar with the matter.

 

Officials did not provide details of how exactly she was eventually freed, and Jordanian and U.S. embassy officials in Baghdad did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

 

The director of the digital diplomacy bureau at Israel's foreign ministry, David Saranga, posted on X that "Fawzia, a Yazidi girl kidnapped by ISIS from Iraq and brought to Gaza at just 11 years old, has finally been rescued by the Israeli security forces."

According to a source in North Carolina, despite 1,000 troops being ready and authorized to respond in NC, FEMA Region 4 and Democrat NC Gov. Roy Cooper haven’t yet written up the mission orders that the troops need in order to be deployed. So those troops are just sitting around twiddling their thumbs.

 

It’s been 7 days since Hurricane Helene made landfall. What on earth are you doing,
