Deborah in "Promptuarii Iconum Insigniorum"
Residence | Shelter in Mount Ephraim, which is between Ramah in Benjamin and Bethel |
Nationality | Hebrew |
Other names | Debora, Débora, Dvora |
Occupation | Prophetess of God, Fourth Judge of Israel |
Predecessor | Shamgar |
Successor | Gideon |
Spouse(s) | Lapidoth |
Deborah (Hebrew: דְבוֹרָה, Modern Dvora Tiberian Dəḇôrā ; "Bee", Arabic: دبورة Daborah) was a prophetess of the God of the Israelites, the fourth Judge of pre-monarchic Israel, counselor, warrior, and the wife of Lapidoth according to the Book of Judges chapters 4 and 5.
The only female judge mentioned in the Bible, Deborah led a successful counterattack against the forces of Jabin king of Canaan and his military commander Sisera, the narrative is recounted in chapter 4.
Judges chapter 5 gives the same story in poetic form. This passage, often called The Song of Deborah, may date to as early as the 12th century BC[1] and is perhaps the earliest sample of Hebrew poetry. It is also significant because it is one of the oldest passages that portrays fighting women, the account being that of Jael, the wife of Heber, a Kenite tent maker. Jael killed Sisera by driving a tent peg through his temple as he slept. Both Deborah and Jael are portrayed as strong independent women. The poem may have been included in the Book of the Wars of the Lord mentioned in Numbers 21:14.
In Hebrew, her name, דְּבוֹרָה, translates as bee. The Deborah number, a dimensionless number used in rheology, is named after her.[2]
Biblical narrative[edit]
In the Book of Judges, it is stated that Deborah was a judge of Israel and the wife of Lapidoth (Hebrew: לפידות; the name means "torches"). (Judges 4:4) She rendered her judgments beneath a palm tree between Ramah in Benjamin and Bethel in the land of Ephraim. (Judges 4:5) Some people today refer to Deborah as the mother of Israel, as she is titled in the Biblical "Song of Deborah and Barak" (Judges 5:7).
Judges in the Bible |
In the Book of Joshua |
In the Book of Judges |
In First Samuel |
†Not explicitly described as a judge |
After the people of Israel had been oppressed by Jabin, the king of Canaan, whose capital was Hazor, for twenty years, Deborah prevailed upon Barak, who was the head captain of the army at that time, to face the Assyrian General Sisera, the commander of Jabin's army, in battle. This led to the victory of an Israelite force of ten thousand over Sisera's force of nine hundred iron chariots. (Judges 4:10)
When Deborah saw the army, she said, according to Judges 4:14:
" | Up; for this [is] the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him. | " |
As Deborah prophesied, the Lord gave the victory to the Israelites. Sisera fled the battle site seeking refuge in the tent of a woman named Jael. In the Biblical account, Jael killed the enemy leader, Sisera.
The Biblical account of Deborah ends with the statement that after the battle, there was peace in the land for 40 years. (Judges 5:31)
Traditional Jewish chronology places Deborah's 40 years of judging Israel (Judges 5:31) from 1107 B.C. until her death in 1067 B.C.[3] The Dictionary of World Biography: The Ancient World claims that she might have lived in the period between 1200 B.C. to 1124 B.C.[4]
The Song of Deborah[edit]
The Song of Deborah is found in Judges 5:2-31 and is a victory hymn, sung by Deborah and Barak, about the defeat of Canaanite adversaries by some of the tribes of Israel. Biblical scholars have generally recognized the Song as one of the oldest parts of the Bible, dating somewhere in the 12th century BC, based on its grammar and context.[5] However, some scholars argue that the song's language and content indicate that it was written no earlier than the 7th century BC.[6] The song itself contains a number of challenging differences from the events described in Judges 4. The song mentions six participating tribes (Ephraim, Benjamin, Machir, Zebulun, Issachar, and Naphtali) as opposed to the two tribes in Judges 4:6 (Naphtali and Zebulun) and does not mention the role of Jabin.[7] It describes Sisera's death in a different manner. Judges 4:17-21 describes Jael killing Sisera by luring him into her tent, letting him lay down to rest, and then while he was asleep hammering a tent peg into his head killing him.
Though it is not uncommon to read a victory hymn in the Hebrew Bible, the Song of Deborah stands out as unique in that it is a hymn that celebrates a military victory helped by two women: Deborah and Jael. Michael Coogan writes that Jael being a woman "is a further sign that Yahweh ultimately is responsible for the victory: The mighty Canaanite general Sisera will be 'sold' by the Lord 'into the hand of a woman' (Judges 4:9) - the ultimate degradation."[5]
Historical and biblical context[edit]
After the death of Joshua, the tribe of Judah led the tribe of Simeon in a campaign against the Canaanites and Perizzites, defeating Adoni-Bezek at Bezek. Then they marched against Kiriath-Arba (Hebron) and defeated three more kings. The descendants of Hobab the Kenite, father-in-law of Moses, accompanied Judah into the wilderness of Negeb but later left to live with the Amalakites. Judah did not take Ashkelon, or Ekron. The Canaanites continued to hold Beth Shean, Dor, and Ibleam. Zebulun was unable to drive them out of Kitron or Nahalol; nor could Asher drive out the inhabitants of Akko, Sidon, Achzib, or Rehob. The Amorites drove back the Danites into the highlands.[8]
Jabin a king of Canaan reigned at Hazor and the commander of his army was Sisera who lived in Haroseth-ha-goiim. The accounts of Judges 4 and 5 tell the story of a battle at Taanach near the River Kishon. Few allies among the southern tribes could come to the assistance of Deborah and Barak. Israel, which the song of Deborah and Barak numbers at 40,000 spears, was unavailable except for forces from the tribes of Ephraim, Machir, Zebulon, Issachar, and Naphtali. While Sisera is said to have had 900 iron chariots, "the Song of Deborah" implies that heavy rain rendered them ineffectual.[9]

This guy, old enough to see early Black Flag shows or be DJ Qualls's dad, is the one blemish on an otherwise perfect movie:
What a wanker.
WANK OR WATCH | Brokeback Mountain
The second film in 2005 in which Anne Hathaway agreed to go topless is a very different proposition to the first, Havoc. Released a few months after, Brokeback Mountain had a highly and widely regarded director in Ang Lee, two leads who had just started to reach their potential in Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger, a main character from a recently ended, internationally loved teen drama in Michelle Williams, and a pre-packaged marketing angle of 'the forbidden love between two cowboys'. Hathaway is no longer the main character, but instead gets the opportunity to work in a movie that will get a wide cinematic release while also attracting the attention of the Academy and casting agents. Regardless of her performance (as long as it's piss poor of course) this is a statement of intent for her, a declaration of the direction she wants her career to go in.
I remember, despite being twenty-one at the time, having to take a fair bit of banter-based stick from even my normally liberal friends for saying that I not only saw this in the cinema, but that I liked it. On this, my first viewing since, I would say it resonates even more. It is a little cheesy in the beginning, and there are moments that seem unrealistic to me (the moment downstairs when Jack (Gyllenhaal) first comes to visit Ennis (Ledger) seems passionate but unlikely in the circumstances), but this is all just setting up a gut-wrenching final forty minutes where Ledger really takes the movie by storm. Even beyond the story, this is a truly beautiful film and some of the photography is just insane. Seven years after seeing it I still remember the scene where Ledger confronts the two tossers at the firework display and it is shot from his feet looking up as fireworks explode in the sky behind him. On second watch, that shot slayed me even more.
Was this movie worth Hathaway getting topless for? While she plays fourth string, her performance on the phone towards the end of the movie was worth her agreeing to get topless for alone, even if her character was never quite fully realised. I love this movie and will be sure not to wait another seven years before returning to it. And, as a final thought, for those fellas who still rib their male friends for watching this, you never see a dick in focus and yet do see both Hathaway and Williams topless.
My verdict: Watch

When discount fraud happens, it hurts not only the vendor, but the solution provider and the end customer. It's a crime that subscribes to the trickle-down theory. Here, Nelson and Portnoy expand on their initial post about discount fraud. Nelson, is a partner at Sideman & Bancroft, specializing in litigation, with a focus on white collar criminal defense and complex commercial litigation. Portnoy is an associate at the firm, focusing on business crimes defense and complex commercial litigation.—Jennifer D. Bosavage, editor
Last month, we explained why your company should be concerned about discount fraud, the practice of sophisticated fraudsters taking advantage of companies that offer highly discounted products under certain circumstances. The typical scenario involves a customer who asks for deep discounts on your products based upon an articulated need; for example, asking for discounted products to build a new data center.
For many companies, it is a business necessity to provide such discounts to address particular end customers' unique circumstances. In fact, the vast majority of those opportunities are genuine, and lead to additional sales and long-term customer relations.
But sometimes the representations made concerning the end use of the specially discounted products are false, and those products wind up not with the purported end user, but somewhere else. Such schemes cause lasting damage. Your company has received less than it otherwise should have for those products, and those same products are then sold by the fraudsters into the marketplace where they undercut established sales channels.
Your company may already have been a victim of this type of fraud, or perhaps your company has identified discount fraud as a potential problem. Regardless of your situation, there are concrete steps you can take to defend your company from this type of abuse. Putting your company in the best position to protect against such fraud begins with strengthening your internal processes.
While the steps outlined below, designed to combat discount fraud, do not represent a one size fits all solution, your company can mitigate against these fraud risks by designing controls and protocols into your company's internal system. How your company does this will likely depend on your sales operation, structure and many other factors.
Following are the general principles of what some successful companies are doing to address this issue, and what we think works.

Angela Lunde
read biographyclose windowBiography of
Angela Lunde
Angela LundeAngela Lunde is a dementia education specialist in the education core of Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the Abigail Van Buren Alzheimer's Disease Research Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
The transfer of information about dementias, as well as understanding the need for participation in clinical trials, is an essential component of the education core.
Angela is a member of the Alzheimer's Association board of directors and co-chair of the annual Minnesota Dementia Conference. She is a member of the Dementia Behavior Assessment and Response Team (D-BART), a multidisciplinary outreach service assisting professional and family caregivers in understanding and managing difficult behaviors often present in dementia. She facilitates several support groups, including Memory Club, an early-stage education and support series, and more recently, helped to develop and now deliver Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT), a 10-day cognitive rehab and wellness program for people with mild cognitive impairment.
Angela takes a personal interest in understanding the complex changes that take place within relationships and among families when dementia is present. She is particularly interested in providing innovative and accessible ways for people with dementia and their families to receive information and participate in valuable programs that promote well-being.
"Amid a devastating disease, there are tools, therapies, programs and ways to cope, and it is vital that families are connected to these resources," she says.

Taking action gives hope for those with memory loss
By Angela Lunde
19 comments posted
For two weeks last month, I spent several hours a day with 13 persons living with mild cognitive impairment or early stage dementia and their care partners, in a program called HABIT (Healthy Actions to Benefit Independence and Thinking).
The 10-day program involves daily cognitive compensation training, brain fitness activities, support groups, wellness education, and a fitness/movement program. HABIT builds on the strength that persons with mild memory problems often retain the ability to learn new habits.
These specific "habits" — if practiced consistently — may help compensate for memory loss, possibly extending independence and improving self efficacy. I'll write more about HABIT in an upcoming blog. For general information, visit the resources tab on this page.
The 26 individuals who participated in HABIT last month shared some common reasons for doing so. First, they believed that an early diagnosis doesn't help much if you don't understand what it means or what to do. They came with many questions and uncertainties about their diagnosis. Second, they were committed to doing something to make the situation better. Taking action gave them hope.
It's difficult to describe what transpired in the two weeks and almost fifty hours we spent together, but clearly relationships grew and genuine bonds were made. Many faced for the first time the challenging step of accepting their diagnosis or that of their loved one. Care partners began the process of adapting to a new "normal" and although not easy, found immeasurable comfort in one another.
Some began to look at what may lie ahead with both a sense of empowerment and an appreciation for living fully in the present. Persons with memory loss gained a renewed sense that they're individuals with rich experiences, accomplishments, and spirit, and that a diagnosis of memory loss doesn't take that away.
I'm sure my words can't fully capture the experience for these individuals or the profound wisdom they offered me or one another. Nevertheless, I'll conclude with some of their words that will stay in my heart for a very long time.
"I am now open to our new life and prepared emotionally to move forward." — Spouse of someone with mild cognitive impairment
"The disease has given me the gift of loving my husband all over again." — Spouse of someone with mild cognitive impairment
"I find Alzheimer's so freeing, you don't have to remember yesterday or tomorrow, you just live today." — Person with early stage dementia

For many people, regardless of age, experiencing short lapses of memory are normal and are of no concern. Studies have shown, however, that there are many things you can do to keep your mind sharp and functioning well. Increase the amount of blood and oxygen flow to your brain by getting regular exercise. Not only does your brain need oxygen to function, exercise helps to reduce stress, which can have a negative impact on brain function. Also, eat a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants, found in these two food groups, work to keep brain cells in optimal condition. Consider boosting your vitamin B intake. Sometimes, following the above steps just doesn't cut it. That's when you should start taking supplements. Any sort of supplement that gives your brain the added boost in adrenaline and most importantly nutrients will greatly improve your cognitive capabilities. I myself take one Procera avh pill every day before I go to bed and it seems to do the trick. It's probably one of the only supplements that has helped me prevent short term memory loss (which, believe me, gets worse as you age!) None of the over the counter stuff quite cut it for me. There's an in-depth review of Procera and other supplements here: http://reviews.3dsvita.com/procera-avh-review

One of the best ways I've found to deal with memory loss issues is to label toiletry items and put signs on the door of the bathroom or an :Exit" sign on or above the front and /or back door. Having these visual cues seems to help trigger an appropriate action. Artnip Dementia Signage for the Home http://www.zazzle.com/artnip

My husband has just been diagnosed with dementia after being tested at least 3 yrs ago. Hmmm, some doctors need to listen to patients better instead of making remarks that the patient is not paying attention to what is being said or done. Wonderful family doctor listened and sent us to a specialist. Thank goodness,he confirmed what we have been saying for the past 4-5 years. Now, our lives move forward and living life to the best of my husband's ability. We are so blessed having each other.

My Granny recently passed away after a long struggle with old age and alzheimer's. She used to drive me nuts repeating the same thing over and over again, but every day I did brain exercises with her and it did seem to help. We came across a wonderful resource, a free book about alzheimer's, which helped guide us through what to expect a sthe disease progressed. Well worth a read. I call it 'the family disease' because it affects every single one of us, not just the person who actually has it. Free bonus book about dealing with Alzheimer's

My ex-stepmother had a stroke a few months ago and was placed in a nursing home by my brother. The doctors felt that she would not be able to take care of herself properly after being released from the rehab center. She was able to walk at this point, but had difficulty remembering how to do things. She, of course, did not want to go to a nursing home, but attempts at having her stay with a daughter or have her sister stay with her failed. The nursing home staff says she is verbally abusive, kicks, etc. There have been 2 ocassions when my brother went to see her that she was completely zoned out...slack jaw, drooling, non-responsive. The last time, about 3 weeks, my brother questioned her mental and physical condition to the nursing home staff and has been making random visits. Since the last episode, she has been fairly alert, able to read and answer questions posed by my brother, has known my brother, her other children and grandchildren. It has been said that she suffers from Lewy Bodies Dementia. Does this type of dementia cause the zoned out physical state that my brother found her in?

My aunt has been in a full care facility suffering from mild to mid-level dementia and type 1 diabetes. my mom and I constantly get call from the nurses at the facility warning us that my aunt has been sneaking into nursing station and other patients rooms cookies and other junk food she is not supposed to have. Thus her blood sugar level has been off the charts many times and were concerned about her going into diabetic shock. We take her the proper foods when she asks us but she consumes them immediately and then goes looking for more. She doesn't gain weight yet she has a strong appetite. She is on insulin. Does anyone have any advise on what messures can be taken to keep her eating a scheduled diet? Even when we tell her to do this or that with the dementia she either doesn't remember or ignores our intructions.

I have not been diagnosed with alzheimers, I have short term memory loss which started in 2006 when I had a very mild stroke. I know I have some vascular problems and have just completed being tested for the second time in two years and am waiting for the results. My problem is although I used to have a decent job, I know am working at a local store. I would like to get back into an office environment but am afraid to take on too much for fear of not being able to juggle so much at once. I just read the 10 beginning signs of alzheimers and I have all of them. How long will I be at this stage?

Having Alzeimers leaves me free to try and/or think new ideas. If I just don't "get" something I can just shrug my shoulders and try again. If it was't me having this problem, I would say it was an interesting journey. There are new problems to overcome so I need to find another "way" of doing things. The most I miss is meeting someone else and talking about things that my friends and family might not understand.

I was diagnosed two months ago and have finally come to face and decided to do poa and a will etc.. I can't get my spouse or child to accept this and live life to the fullest and plan ahead, I can't even get understanding or help from them.

Thank you for letting us know about HABIT.. sounds like a much needed resource for families with loved ones diagnosed with some form of dementia. I know it would have helped us when Dad was still alive. We never knew just how to approach helping him. You can read our story about 3 daughters caring for their Dad living with Alzheimer's. http://caregiver.carebuzz.com Thank you, Carol

We stayed at this hotel for a couple of days and had a good time. It's a really nice place, rooms are good, location is ok, staff friendly, etc. We had some questions about the area and how to arrange some non-tourist stuff, and people were really helpful. So all in all it is definitely a place to recommend.

Moblin Brings Btrfs into View, Eschews Ext4
The recently released version 2.0 of Moblin elicited significant feedback. One frequently posed question was, why not ext4?
Even though Moblin includes Kernel 2.6.30 that supports the ext4 filesystem, so far Moblin has set ext3 as the default. In an answer to a query on the Moblin developer mailing list, kernel developer Arjan van de Ven made known that ext4 support was not in the current plans for the root filesystem and that "we're seriously looking at btrfs right now, the next generation Linux filesystem."
Arjan's announcement leads to serious speculation that btrfs will become Moblin's rootfs because of features such as snapshots to restore to factory default. Performance is another asset, plus the fact that btrfs is being considered a possible successor to zfs for Linux in general. If and when btrfs comes to Moblin depends on the results of further testing.
