![]() There are signs, though, that the heat seen in September was not an every year event. Israelis make their way into a water spring to cool off, during a heat wave that is affecting the region, at Wadi Qelt, near the West Bank city of Jericho, Friday, Sept. The month of September, which supplied 18 of the year’s heatwave days, broke records across Israel, becoming the hottest September on record in Jerusalem and most of the rest of the country, according to a report from the IMS. “Temperatures in Israel have gone up by around 1.4 degrees between 19, with most of the increases happening over the past 30 years.” Assuming that the year is not a major outlier, this upcoming decade would see some 400 heatwave days in Jerusalem. and from 2010 to 2019 there were a whopping 230 days in which the temperature reached or surpassed the toasty threshold.Īs of October 8, this year has seen 40 heatwave days. The next decade, Jerusalem experienced temperatures of 33º C or higher 137 times. ![]() From 1990 to 1999 there were 127 heatwave days. The next two decades actually saw a cooling trend: From 1970 to 1979 there were only 64 heat wave days, and from 1980 to 1989 there were 98 such days.Īnd then the heat began to build again. (Miriam Alster/Flash90)Īccording to data from the IMS, from 1950 to 1959 there were a total of 99 days in which the high temperature in Jerusalem hit 33º C or higher.įrom 1960 to 1969 the number climbed to 119 days. Israelis enjoy the beach in Tel Aviv, as temperatures rise to 40 degrees in some parts of the country, May 16, 2020. At the same time, before 1990, it was not uncommon for whole years to pass in which the mercury only hit the milestone once or twice, if at all. Most years see a few handfuls of days that reach above 33º C, and every few years the city may even see a string of six or seven days, according to an analysis of IMS data. The lack of humidity also helps make the city a refuge from the muggy climate that envelopes Tel Aviv and most of central Israel. #UNHOLY HEAT SERIES#Yoav Yair, Dean of the School of Sustainability at the Interdisciplinary Center, a Herzliya-based university better known as IDC, a series of days with temperatures of 33º C (91.4º F) or higher is the threshold for a heatwave in Jerusalem.ĭays of 33º C or higher are not overly common in the capital, which usually enjoys cooler temperatures than coastal Israel thanks to its elevation some 750 meters (2,460 feet) above sea level. A look at the daily temperature data compiled by the Israel Meteorological Service over the last 70 years provides a sweat-inducing peek at just how hot Jerusalem is becoming, and how temperatures and heatwaves once regarded as rare have become commonplace.Īccording to Prof. While the extremeness of the temperatures was terrifying, scientists say that what is more ominous are the larger trends and how long the heat waves are lasting. ![]() The unprecedented run included two days, September 3 and 4, during which the temperature hit 42.3º C and 42.7º C respectively, the highest temperatures Jerusalem had seen in over 100 years, bested only by the 44.4º C, reached on two days in August 1881, according to the Israel Meteorological Service. This also includes Planechase and Commander format legal cards that are used in their respective format.The fact that September 2020 was the hottest month in recorded history in Jerusalem likely comes as no surprise to anyone who sweated through the heatwave that blanketed the city.

![]() This topic invites debate, given the long and murky history surrounding the concept of architectural authenticity. And the awareness of the practice raises several questions: Could Washington not afford stone, or was it not practical for use in Mount Vernon’s expansion? Was rustication emblematic of a young nation’s inferiority complex in light of Europe’s architectural gravitas? A more profound and unsettling question follows: Did Washington not apply the same standards of authenticity to architectural expression as he did to verbal and written expression?īlaine Brownell Wood siding at the Mount Vernon Estate made to look like stone. This material revelation concerning one of America’s most beloved historic buildings is intriguing. He therefore called for the process of rustication, in which pine boards were cut into panels and beveled to mimic stone masonry before being surfaced with two coats of paint, the latter of which was topped with cast sand. Although the building has always been clad in wood siding, George Washington-who directly supervised each renovation-wanted it to look like stone. The tour of the mansion revealed a bit of information that I’m surprised to have never learned in any history class, architectural or otherwise: The house’s original façade finish is intentionally faked. Before my visit, I was vaguely aware of the house’s history: a simple, one-and-a-half-story, farm-style structure built in 1735 by Washington’s father, Augustine, and acquired in 1754 by the younger Washington, who would expand it significantly over the next half-century. ![]() ![]() I had the opportunity to tour George and Martha Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate, in Virginia, for the first time this summer. ![]() Martin Falbisoner, Wikimedia Commons The rustication technique used on the wood siding of George and Martha Washington's Mount Vernon Estate to emulate stone encourages a discussion of material authenticity. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In other words, Hephaestion admired Alexander as a person, not merely a leader. Once, when a companion had compared Hephaestion to Craterus, another of Alexander's closest friends, Alexander responded by explaining that Craterus was "king-loving" while Hephaestion was "Alexander-loving" (XVII, 114). Diodorus reports that Alexander loved Hephaestion more than any of his friends. In addition, this group, which normally consisted of seven men, apparently did not have a commander.įinally, the most prominent discussion about Hephaestion in this account comes after his death. It explains that, at the time of this battle, Hephaestion was not yet a member of Alexander's most elite group of advisers/bodyguards, known as the " Somatophylakes" (Note: According to Wikipedia, Hephaestion actually was a member in 331 BCE). However, according to the footnote, this doesn't add up. He refers to Hephaestion as the commander of the king's bodyguards. The next interesting mention comes much later, during the decisive Battle of Guagamela, when Diodorus tells us that Hephaestion was wounded by an enemy spear. When Queen Sisygambis mistakenly bows before Hephaestion, Alexander tells her not to worry, "for actually he too is Alexander" (XVII, 37). Hephaestion, Diordorus tells us, was "the most valued of his friends", in addition to being taller and more handsome than Alexander. ![]() Here, Diodorus tells a similar version of the story told by Curtius and Arrian. The first mention of Hephaestion in this work comes after the Battle of Issus, when Alexander visits the captured Persian royal family. He also omits any reference to Hephaestion at Troy, merely stating that Alexander visited the tombs of the heroes and honored them. Regardless, how does Diodorus describe Alexander's companion Hephaestion? Is there anything special about his account compared to the others we've looked at?Īs his account begins at Alexander's succession to the throne of Macedon, Diodorus does not provide us any insight into how Alexander and Hephaestion may have met. The accuracy of Diodorus' account, which deals in some mythic events, has been debated by critics. But this doesn't necessarily make him the most reliable. This means that, of the five best surviving sources on Alexander's campaigns, Diodorus was closest to the historical time period of wrote about. We know very little about Diodorus, except that he was from Sicily and wrote during the 1st century BCE. Let's begin with Diodorus Siculus and his sprawling work, The Library of History, which purports to tell the history of a large part of the world (include Greece, Egypt, Persia, India and parts of Europe) from the Trojan War to the 1st century BCE. Now it's time to look at what some of the other ancient sources said about Hephaestion, including Diodorus, Aelian, and Diogenes of Sinope. You can read those posts by clicking on the names above. So far, I've looked at what Arrian, Plutarch, and Curtius had to say about Alexander the Great's relationship with Hephaestion. UPDATE: Episode III of the Achilles Gene podcast, which investigates the mystery of Alexander and Hephaestion, is now available! It features stories from their life and analysis from the world's leading expert on this topic. ![]() ![]() ![]() To be fair, Away’s top and side carry handles are a bit flat and stiff - a minor issue since the bags will typically be rolled rather than carried, but an issue nonetheless.
