An Allentown man, who said his former wife didn't have patience with him when he was making job changes, was sentenced to one-three years in Lehigh County Prison on charges related to her shooting.
Dennis Bobo, 29, of 1402 Helen Ave., pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, a second-degree felony, in connection with the shooting of Kathie Bobo with a .22-caliber pistol.
Police said the two, who were married a year before their divorce, were arguing on June 19, 1984, and Bobo hit his 21-year-old wife on the head with the gun. A police report said the gun went off and a slug was lodged in her back.
Judge James N. Diefenderfer also sentenced Bobo to a concurrent term of 3 to 23 months in prison for his guilty plea to recklessly endangering another person.
Police said Bobo drove a truck through the back door of the couple's home on Front Street in Allentown on Oct. 10, 1984.
"I have a lot of regrets about the way things happened," Bobo told the judge.
"I presume in this incident she could have been killed," Diefenderfer said.
Bobo said he had a license for the gun, which he said he used for target practice.
Bobo kept the gun in a holster at the head of his bed, he said, something he has done "since I was a kid."
He testified that he was doing target practice before the incident and never unloaded it.
Bobo told the judge he and his former wife fought often about job changes and layoffs. He said he has since started his own business selling firewood, trimming trees, mowing lawns and landscaping.
His former wife, who attended the sentencing with volunteers from the victim-witness program, said she's afraid of him and has scars from frequent beatings.
She said she requested a protection from abuse order from the court but protected him on occasion because "he'd say he was sorry andhe'd never do it again."
"The night he hurt me, he said, 'You're never going to leave me again,' " she said. "I was his property.
"I don't believe he's sorry for what he's done," she said.
She said she was in the hospital five days after the shooting.
Her uncle showed Diefenderfer a photograph of his niece after she allegedly was beaten.
Bobo's attorney, J. Brian Johnson, told the judge, "We don't deny that this is probably an incarceration case," but asked that Bobo be eligible for immediate work-release.
"There's no way I can justify what happened," Bobo said. "She didn't have patience for me to start my business. She just wasn't patient. That is where a lot of the problems are."
In imposing the sentence, Diefenderfer said he was considering the severity of the offense and the fact that Bobo had no prior record.
"It could have been much more serious than it was," Diefenderfer said. "You could have been here on a murder charge."
He cited a report by Dr. Paul Gross, a court-appointed psychologist, who said Bobo had a drinking problem and an "immature, explosive personality."
"You don't deal with other people being a hothead," the judge told him. "You're going to have to pay the penalty for it."
Bobo said he had a drinking problem and saw a psychiatrist to get help.
Diefenderfer ordered Bobo to stay away from his ex-wife and to undergo drug and alcohol counseling as a condition of parole.

Streveler's 3 TDs lead South Dakota past North Dakota
VERMILLION, S.D. (AP) Chris Streveler threw for 290 yards, including a touchdown, and ran in two more scores Saturday to lead South Dakota past North Dakota for a 45-7 win.
Kai Henry also ran in two touchdowns, including a 34-yard run up the middle, and Ben Klett had a 7-yard TD run late in the game as South Dakota notched its first 3-0 season start since 2006.
Streveler was 23-for-30 passing and piled up another 62 yards on the ground. His first touchdown came late in the first quarter as he scrambled around the left end for 7-yard score. He later connected with Shamar Jackson with 10 seconds left in the opening half on a 13-yard touchdown pass and then got his third TD on a 14-yard quarterback draw.
The Coyotes also got a 21-yard field goal from Ryan Weese.
North Dakota (1-2) was held scoreless until the fourth quarter when Travis Toivonen hauled in a 10-yard touchdown throw from Keaton Studsrud.

Yemen: A political solution is the only way to avert famine, says CARE
Amidst discussion of a famine declaration in Yemen, CARE calls for the implementation of an immediate ceasefire and political action to end the conflict.
Only political will for peace can stop the fast deteriorating food and currency crisis in Yemen.
Almost half the population of Yemen – 14 million people – are now at risk of famine. Currently, food security experts are conducting data analysis to determine whether famine can be declared in Yemen.
"A declaration of famine would mean that the international community has already failed the people of Yemen," says Jolien Veldwijk, assistant country director for CARE Yemen. "Two of the thresholds needed to declare a famine – death rates and acute malnutrition rates – are lagging indicators, which means that by the time these thresholds are met, people are already dying."
Yemeni people are dealing with a nightmarish combination of factors: daily airstrikes and attacks, a lack of healthcare and public services, increases in diseases like cholera, and severe food insecurity due to the economic crisis.
"The economy has been crippled during this war," says Veldwijk. "Food and fuel prices have simply risen out of the reach of most people. There is widespread malnutrition and food insecurity, and those affected the most are women and girls, who often have more complex nutritional requirements."
Through cash and voucher transfers CARE supports the most vulnerable and conflict-affected households to meet their basic and immediate needs and avoid using negative coping strategies. CARE is also implementing a World Food Programme food distribution in several governorates in the north and south of Yemen.
As the world waits to see whether famine is announced, Veldwijk notes; "whether widespread famine is declared or not in the coming weeks, the reality is that half of the Yemeni people do not know where their next meal will come from."
One Yemeni mother – Qayma – recently told CARE staff; "I don't know how to feed my children. I don't want to watch my children starve to death."
CARE welcomes the recent call by US Defense Secretary James Mattis for a swift cessation of hostilities in Yemen and support for a UN-brokered peace plan; as well as Canada and the UK's support for a ceasefire that will allow for humanitarian corridors to ensure the safe passage of aid.
While these statements are moves in the right direction, it is imperative now that all parties to the conflict take action to implement an immediate ceasefire and participate fully in peace talks. The only real and lasting solution to the catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Yemen is a political solution to the ongoing conflict. Urgent action is needed right now to end the suffering of unthinkable millions of people. This human tragedy must come to an immediate end.
"People are in urgent need of humanitarian aid in order to survive," says Fathiah, a Field Officer with CARE Yemen. "But this is not a solution. The only solution is to bring peace to our country. Peace is our only hope."
The number of people in need of humanitarian assistance in Yemen is over 22 million, or 75% of the population. This is an almost unimaginably vast number of people who, without humanitarian assistance, would be unable to meet their daily basic needs.
CARE has been working across Yemen since 1992 focusing on women's and youth economic empowerment; prevention of gender-based violence; social inclusion; water resource management; civil society strengthening; good governance; and providing humanitarian assistance. CARE has a long history of implementing both development and humanitarian programming aiming to increase people's ability to cope with crises and preparedness. CARE Yemen overall has more than 215 international and national staff.

MTV will be showcasing backstage shots from the Europe Music Awards through Boomerang, Instagram's new app.
The app launched yesterday. It turns a burst of photos into a high-quality mini video that plays forward and back.
On Sunday, the awards will feature a backstage booth formed of semi-circle LED screens playing fast moving images that generate live action Booms. The celebs will be encouraged to Instagram their images for the Boomerangs.
The videos will then be shared on the celebrity's Instagram account throughout the event and on the MTV EMAs profile.
MTV is also planning to broadcast the red carpet events and the main show through a virtual reality live stream through the MTV EMA app used with a cardboard viewer.
The broadcaster has partnered with Snapchat to cover the event through a MTV EMA Live Story. There will also be custom MTV EMA geofilters for Snapchat users attending the show.
News from the red carpet, main show and backstage events will be shared through MTV's international Snapchat Discover channel.
Live content will also be featured on Vine, Facebook, Twitter and Periscope.
MTV Canvas will also launch on Sunday. The online tool gives fans the chance to play with the brand to create their own visual art with music and backdrops.
The pre-loaded content will begin with MTV EMA-themed assets. Users will be able to share their video creations on Facebook or Twitter, and submit them to run on-air on MTV's international channels. Any videos shared will feature the user's social media handle.
Bob Bakish, the president and chief executive at Viacom International Media Networks, said: "When our international channels evolved from 'I want my MTV' to 'I am my MTV,' we knew it would be critical to give our audience different entry points to play with the brand and truly make it their own.
"It's fitting that we'd launch this tool on one of our biggest nights of the year, and we hope our audience uses MTV Canvas to continue the pop culture revelry in the wake of this year's show."

Born in San Francisco
A vodka like no other, made with water enhanced by Pacific Minerals
About SKYY® Vodka
Buy SKYY® Vodka
Inspired by Innovation
With its launch in San Francisco in 1992, SKYY redefined vodka as the world knew it. We sought to make the perfect martini, and as a result, created an exceptionally smooth vodka.
Since our founding, we've always been guided by San Francisco's forward-thinking mindset. We pioneered a state-of-the-art quadruple-distillation and triple-filtration process.
When most vodkas came in clear, Russian-style bottles, SKYY Vodka revolutionized the category with the launch of our iconic cobalt blue bottle.
Now, we're breaking the mold again. For the first time since our 1992 beginnings, we're reimagining our vodka inside and out. To achieve this, we've brought together a diverse team of experts – a water sommelier, chemist and expert bartender – to take our original liquid to new heights.
Where others have chosen to distil out character, we've chosen to innovate by giving our liquid a character-adding twist with water enhanced by minerals, including Pacific Minerals sourced from the San Francisco Bay Area. This is intended to give our liquid a subtle salinity and minerality and enhance the mouthfeel and fresh taste of our SKYY & Soda with a grapefruit twist, SKYY's signature pour.
Always quadruple-distilled and triple-filtered- including filtration through California Limestone – SKYY's new liquid is encapsulated in a beautiful coastal blue bottle inspired by the natural elements of San Francisco.
The result is a smooth, gluten-free and fresher tasting vodka that not only adds character to any cocktail, but also raises the bar on the vodka & soda.
Driven by Progress
Always true to our progressive beginnings, we've not only helped reengineer how vodka is made, we've revolutionized what it can stand for.
Since our founding in 1992, we've embraced the progress and diversity that makes San Francisco our forever hometown and worked hard to spread this spirit around the world. SKYY Vodka has always been a steadfast ally and advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community and has consistently worked with creative visionaries to produce cutting-edge, thought-provoking advertising campaigns and initiatives that spark essential conversations.
Our support for the rights of LGBTQIA+ people remains steadfast. We continue to live out the spirit of San Francisco and celebrate the diversity that makes life rich and the future bright.
Recognized by the best
We are proud to announce that SKYY Vodka's refreshed liquid has most recently been awarded a Gold Medal and 90 points by the Beverage Tasting Institute (BTI), the world's most trusted and comprehensive source for alcohol beverage product testing and professional reviews.
Made with water enhanced by Pacific Minerals
We're a state of mind
We didn't invent vodka, but we've been driven to perfect it since 1992.

Experts from Sofia, Prague, Osijek, Kosice and Italy gathered together for a partnership meeting in Rubano, Italy, from May 30 to June 1st, 2018. The meeting involved almost 30 participants: project coordinators and researchers, members of the five city Stakeholder Integration Groups and representatives of the Local Government of Rubano.
During the three days of meeting the participants presented and elaborated on the project outputs of the first semester: the initial findings of the focus groups and desk research.
The INTEGRA group conducted a pilot city tour with checklists and photovoice in Rubano and neighbouring Padua focused on urban safety and cultural mapping to assess the policies and practices of integration of third country nationals and migrants, to identify good practices and challenges.
The participants visited one of the structures of the Protection System for Asylum Seekers and Refugees (SPRAR) created under Law No 189/2002. SPRAR unites in a network local governments that implement migrant integration projects and is managed by the Italian Ministry of Interior.
The stakeholder integration groups in the five countries formed a common expert network for exchange of experiences and interaction.
In the upcoming months the project partnership will complete the city integration audits and reports in each of the five cities.


Confession: I hate reality television. So much so I penned an unpublished letter to VH1 discussing my hatred for the network's new-found love of this new phenomenon. So naturally I never watched "Love And Hip Hop". That is, until one evening when literally all of my 600+ Twitter followers were vigorously typing away about this love triangle between Stevie J, Joseline Hernandez, and Mimi Faust.
MUST READ: Best Of 2012: Reality Show Recap!
Joseline Hernandez made the entire series worth watching as my laughter on her accent and eloquent choices of words was uncontrollable. What's even funnier is that the entire world is laughing too. Actress Essence Atkins and actor Miguel Nunez took their talents to YouTube and dropped this hilarious spoof on a day in the life with Steebie J and Joseline.
FYI: Watch the video all the way to the end, Joseline gives Steebie an unsuspecting surprise.

Adonys Cardona Scouting Report
By Dave Gershman Jan 2, 2012, 1:01pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Adonys Cardona Scouting Report
Here's a scouting report on Blue Jays prospect Adonys Cardona.
Adonys Cardona is a raw, projectable right-hander for the Jays already with a fastball that scouts can dream on. He's still only 17-years old, but features a fastball that sits 90-93 and has touched the mid-90's. Scouts have labeled lots of projection on his fastball and curve, two pitches that are expected to be above average once he fills out and gains more velocity.
Cardona's mechanics have warranted some concern in the past, but his arm motion is free and easy and displays terrific arm speed when throwing his fastball. He has feel for a change-up, but it's nowhere near close to becoming a plus pitch. Cardona has showed inconsistency in terms of his release point in the past, but like his other correctable issues, he'll progress through the system and tighten up as he moves along.


Four Card Frenzy is, as its name suggests, a four card Poker game. Both you and the dealer receive five cards to make the best 4-card hand.
After reviewing your cards, you must decide whether to fold or Play. If you choose to play, you must place a wager equal to the Ante. If you have a pair of Aces or higher, you may choose to play three times your Ante..
After all players have folded or continued to play their hand, the dealer reveals their hand comparing it to each player hand with the higher hand winning.
If the dealer's hand is higher than the players hands, the Ante and Play bets lose. Equal hands will result in a push.
If a player's hand is higher than the dealer's hand, the Ante and Play bets are paid even money.


8 nights starting from $6500 per person sharing on All Inclusive , 4 nights Selous and 4 nights Fundu Lagoon.
11 nights starting from $8000 per person Sharing on All Inclusive , 4 nights Selous and 7 nights Fundu Lagoon.
Includes internal flights – Dar- Selous – Pemba- Dar.
Not only is the Selous the largest game reserve in Africa, it is also a World Heritage Site, and steeped in history as the second oldest game reserve in the World. Few parks in Tanzania or the rest of Africa can offer the same quality or intensity of grass roots safari as the Selous Game Reserve.
To put the context of the safari experience to you, the Selous is over 45,000 km in size, which is over three times the size of the Serengeti. This equates to a game reserve that is bigger than Switzerland and in this huge space there are very few lodges. This gives you an incredibly special and authentic safari experience, the limited number of lodges in this vast wilderness means very limited tourism, making safaris here spell binding and very special.
This is a wild and rugged area, full of wild animals where you can walk, game-drive and take river safaris. With its rivers, plains and lakes, the Selous is somewhere you get a powerful sense of the scale of the African wilderness. Lots of people call it the crown jewels of Tanzania and it offers a variety of experiences, off roading game drives in open 4 x 4 vehicles, boating and walking safaris. The Selous landscape is flat, with a few distant hills on the horizons. The Rufiji and Great Ruaha rivers glide and wind their way through a maze of lakes and swamps, the elegance is mesmerising.


The Four Intelligences of the Business Mind is a short book laying out a scheme of four discrete but interlocking types of intelligence essential to business success.
A new pragmatic synthesis of organizational psychology, business analytics, and multiple intelligences theory, The Four Intelligences of the Business Mind lays out a scheme of four discrete but interlocking types of intelligence essential to business success. These intelligences are scalable and transferable from the individual leader to the organizational ecosystem. This short book teaches executives first to analyze and train their own brains in these four intelligences; then to transform their organizations by applying their sharpened quadruplex intelligence to their business analyses and decisions; and finally to train and incentivize their companies to map onto a collective organizational scale the mental transformation modeled by the "mastermind" leader.
The four essential business intelligences identified by IT executive and organizational psychologist Valeh Nazemoff are financial intelligence, customer intelligence, data intelligence, and mastermind intelligence. Financial intelligence informs your ability to reinvest and regrow your business boldly but prudently in the light of predictive, risk, and business analytics. Customer intelligence informs your ability to rethink your approaches to attracting and keeping customers using customer, web, mobile, social, big data, and behavioral analytics. Data intelligence informs your ability to reinvent and recreate information in automated graphical representations to enable rapid decision-making using visual, cloud, web, and operational analytics, AI, and distance collaboration platforms. Finally, mastermind intelligence involves your ability through leadership and team exercises to impart to your employees and organization the same transformative honing and integration of business intelligences as you have undergone yourself.
"An invaluable book that shows you how to harness the inevitable transformations in business by understanding your mind better." —Alan Komet, Vice President, Global Sales Operations, FalconStor Software, Inc.

Jeridoo Universe reviews one of the top films coming out of the TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) this week of September 12, 2022: The Banshees of Inisherin by Irish playwright/ scriptwriter/ director, Martin McDonagh.
A twisted breakup movie
1 hour, 44 minutes
In this "Cliff Notes" of films, so you do not have to, we summarize review notes of over thirty established film critics into a concise, consolidated briefing so you can see what makes this film special and worthy of watching.
Having premiered at the 79th Venice International Film Festival on September 5 and continuing its festival journey at TIFF, this film is a close-up examination of small-town dynamics and the bittersweet but inevitable end to a long friendship. As a rural character farce, the movie begins with a lighthearted humorous touch. However, as it progresses, it becomes darker and more macabre, with haunting echoes of contemporary Irish history lingering off-screen and clouds of Samuel Beckett-like gloom hanging overhead.
As he approaches the end of his life, Colm (Brendan Gleeson) unilaterally and coldly declares that he no longer wants to be friends with his best friend and drinking partner, Pádraic (Colin Farrell). Instead, he wants to create his legacy through a new piece of music that will be performed by others long after he has passed away.
But as a result of Pádraic's persistence in keeping their friendship alive, Colm is forced to issue a startling ultimatum to expose the intensity of his decision: every time Pádraic speaks to him he will cut off one of his own fiddle-playing fingers with a pair of shears. Of course, Pádraic thinks he is joking and gives it one last attempt using tough love, which he believes may have finally put a stop to their conflict. Then, one night, a tiny, bloodied object strikes Pádraic's front door. His journey begin s with him being the nicest guy in town and ends with a darker turn. As events escalate, they learn that the end of a relationship can create a complete disruption in everyone's perception of life in this world.
This film is set in 1923 during the Irish Civil War between the Irish Free State and the Anti-Treaty IRA, on the fictional scantily populated island of Inisherin off the west coast of Ireland (the real shot locations were Inishmore and Achill Island including Inis Mor, the largest of the Aran islands). As the main shot locations, we encounter the beach, rolling green hills, a lake, pastoral cottage-lined village atop the cliffs and a single local pub (where drinking and chatting are the main pastimes of this island). The framing and lighting of the Irish landscape follow the same emotional journey as the playful warmth, which gradually descends into fruitless pessimism.
The Main Protagonists
The lead Actors worked together in a former film with McDonagh, "In Bruges." Lifelong friends whose families were torn apart due to the Irish Civil War, Colin Farrell as the happy-go-lucky, childish, kind but not so bright Pádraic Súilleabháin, and Brandon Gleeson as Colm Doherty, the older and more intelligent of the two, a poetic type, a musician and his best friend (or at least drinking companion for life). Their Odd Couple relationship is both funny and complicated.
The most realistic work by Farrell shows emotions like wide-eyed optimism, self-assurance, fear, and bothersome, naively eager attempts to win his friend's love and favor. Pádraic's feelings are depicted as perplexity, rage, grief, and desperate attempts. From his face to his posture to the way he walks and talks, provide a real anchor of humanity to the film. This is balanced with by the less expressive Colm, who holds his secrets within.
We observe the two men attempting to communicate with one another but failing to truly "hear" one another, leading to troubling outcomes.
Side Characters
While there are no shrieking spirits in this film as the film title would allude, this town's cast of characters include
Dominic (Barry Keoghan), son of the local constable (police officer). Chip and sometimes pestering, this agent of chaos with fidgety mannerisms and hilariously erratic line deliveries, hides the tragic pain suffered by his beating father.
Peadar Kearny (Gary Lydon), the menacing police officer.
Siobhan (Kerry Dondon, known for Better Call Saul and also in a small part in McDonagh's prior film "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri"), the intelligent, attractive sophisticated sister of Pádraic who loves him dearly and stands by his side as he faces his tormentor but fears this feud will break her brother for good.
Mrs. McCormick (Sheila Flitton), the elderly woman town oracle who ominously delivers portents of doom.
Pub owner Jonjo (Pat Shortt).
The F-bomb delivering priest (David Pearse)
Last but not least, Jenny, a charismatic miniature donkey
Themes of the Film
The depths of friendship, the truths about aging and loneliness, what binds us together and what divides us; the things that enhance our lives and the things that destroy them are all themes of focus in this film. The film compels us to ask these questions: Although we cannot make people like us or feel a connection with us, can we attempt to be genuine so they can find something to join? Why Is a memory of having been a good person more valuable than a legacy of artistic creation? Does a man's grandeur diminish if he loses his decency? If a man loses his decency, does the greatness of his achievement mean anything?
The Writer / Director
Irish Playwright Martin McDonagh, known for his gift for dialogue, writes with comedic precision and a distinct Irish voice, drawing humor from the mundane. He was known for his theater plays ("The Beauty Queen of Leenane," "The Lieutenant of Inishmore," et. al.) and his third film "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" as well as cult classics, "In Bruges" and "Seven Psychopaths." This is his fourth feature film with eloquent and dark, witty directorial work.
The film was produced by McDonagh, Graham Broadbent and Peter Czernin (Blueprint Pictures) for Searchlight Pictures and Film4.
This film is beautifully shot by Ben Davis, a regular collaborator with McDonagh, with exceptional cinematography, sweeping, breathtaking, textured and well-lit. His use of light spilling into interior space is truly mesmerizing.
Carter Burwell provides fanciful xylophone and harp-centric score adding to the atmosphere of the film.
Summary of The Film Critic Reviews
Critics have described this film as excellent story telling with a "profound message on the meaning of life." With deep empathy for both sides in a breakup, it is "accessible," "relatable," "admirable," "loving" and "poignant." At the same time, the actors and director masterfully create a film of existential despair that is "dangerous," "acerbic," "darkly amusing" and "heartbreaking." One critic summed it up as an "all-around enchanting ode to the Irish people." The director once again demonstrates his dramatist ability in turning a simple incident into a substantial work of art. He also maintains audience engagement at an elevated level with a combination of unexpected turns and pointedly serious moments.

What Parents and Teachers Should Know about Universal Humor
As a mom and teacher, I've learned about the power of humor, for good and bad. But unlike my husband, a good sense of humor doesn't come naturally to me. This had me wondering about the universal nature of humor. In other words, is there universal humor and if so, what do parents and teachers like me need to know about it.
Universal humor is humor that's accessible to all, breaking language; culture; age; and other barriers. All parents and teachers benefit from it because once its aspects are fully grasped, it can be applied in any situation, wherever you are. This is particularly useful when dealing with kids.
I'm happy to share what I've learned about humor from my years as a mom and teacher, as well as from my own research into humor types, including universal humor.
Keep reading to learn more about this, including cultural differences pertaining to humor; how Hollywood uses universal humor; and some tips and suggestions for humor-challenged parents and teachers like me.
One way to build humor with your kids is to use it strategically through routines or regular activities. For instance, our Fun Jokes For Kids Coloring Book is a great tool for embedding humor through kid-friendly activity.
1 What is meant by universal humor?
2 Cultural Differences and Humor
2.1 Western Humor Vs. Eastern Humor
2.2 Different Types of Humor and Universal Humor
3 How can parents and teachers use universal humor tactics?
4 Universal Humor Punchline
What is meant by universal humor?
Let's first talk about what is meant by the idea or concept of universal humor. In some ways, it's actually debatable that universal humor exists, but I'll share what I think given my unique, expert background, as well as some research that has provided evidence for universal humor.
Universal humor is humor that's funny to just about everyone, regardless of background, culture, age, and so on. Many think it's a myth, saying humor can't cross boundaries, especially global ones. However, there are features of humor that are universal, even though boundaries make it tricky.
Some people thing that humor can't be universal because of cultural differences, for example. We'll look at that more in depth in the next section. Others think that humor can't be universal because of age. This is what's behind the Boomer vs. Millennial memes. Then, some say humor can't be universal because it's too connected to our personalities. However, I think that's actually an argument for the universality of humor.
Some Universal Features of Humor:
Every human is born with the ability to laugh. Babies have been noted to laugh at 17 days old, while even deaf and blind people laugh.
Even animals have been known to laugh, such as monkeys and rats.
Laughter and humor are parts of all cultures.
Laughter and thus humor cross social and economic lines. This means you can find humor, regardless of being rich or poor, for instance, you just might have a different sense of humor.
Laughter and humor are signs of contentedness or excitability (and of course, other emotions, too).
Laughter from a good sense of humor benefits our health, no matter who we are.
A good sense of humor is valued in almost all societies (it's just that the definition of what IS a good sense of humor might vary).
And I'll share more about how parents and teachers specifically can benefit from universal humor with kids in a later section, too. So keep reading!

Cultural Differences and Humor

Chris Smit is an experienced business consultant and coach for intercultural relations and communication, and as such, is familiar with the nuances of universal humor.
One of the biggest arguments against universal humor is cultural differences. And no one can argue that there are differences from culture to culture, but likewise, we all have things in common too. And that's where I say universal humor blurs the lines.
Cultural differences affect our perceptions of humor. For instance, Americans are prone to loud, overt humor while Brits are known for wry, deadpan humor. Even so, it's not strictly one way or the other. Culture certainly provides context for humor, but you'll find universal features everywhere.
"Humor is a universal phenomenon but is also culturally tinted."
Tonglin Jiang, Hao Li, and Yubo Hou
Some 'Facts' About Cultural Humor (2009):
If you laugh when a Finnish person enters the room, they're less likely to be concerned; whereas a Thai person's affective filter is raised.
Americans rate less humble when it comes to humor. When we're laughed at, we get over the quickest.
Indonesians fear doing something that makes them look foolish, silly, or they consider embarrassing more than any other.
The Japanese rate the highest for difficulty getting over being laughed at.
Gelotophobia: the fear of being laughed at
But despite these differences, one thing is clearly universal from this study, and the ISHS (International Society for Humor Studies): no one likes being make fun of or laughed at. It affects us to different degrees, but it's something we all have in common about humor.
Western Humor Vs. Eastern Humor
What about the differences in western and eastern humor, specifically? I've already provided some study results in the previous section, but we'll dive a bit deeper now.
Though the four types of humor are universal, there are distinct cultural aspects in western and eastern humor. Westerners view humor as a positive trait; and useful for amusement and as a coping device, while eastern cultures prefer being serious over humorous, and feel it isn't socially desirable.
According to LaughLab, established in 2001 with the pairing of psychologist Richard Wiseman and the British Science Association for scientific research on jokes, there are some distinguishing characteristics for humor when it comes to various cultures. Below I've listed the division between western and eastern humor.
Humor in Western Cultures
Humor in Eastern Cultures
Humor is considered a positive feature. Humor is not valued as a coping mechanism.
Humor is seen as natural for amusement. It's more desired to be serious than humorous.
Humor is considered a highly desirable trait for individuals. Being humorous could jeopardize social status.
Humorous people are thought to be more attractive and creative. Humor is not considered a creative trait.
Having a good sense of humor is a leadership quality.
Being humorous means you're not orthodox to your culture.
Good humor is perceived as being self-aware and healthy. Humor is more likely to be associated with negative adjectives.
Good humor means you're easy to get along with. Easterners are less likely to claim to be humorous or rate their friends and family as humorous.
Westerners have a maladaptive sense of humor. This means it's used more as an individual approach.
Easterners have an adaptive sense of humor (in the sense, that they have a collectivist approach).
Table to Provide What Research Says About Western Vs. Eastern Humor
But of course, all of this is a generalization, but still based on years of sincere, dedicated research.
Special Note: Although there's some very clear differences in how humor is viewed in western and eastern cultures, sometimes humor is shared too. This is clear when we think of the many comedies, both animated and live-action that cross borders in appeal, being just as popular in the US as Germany and China. And while Marvel movies like Spiderman: No Way Home and Avengers: Endgame is full of adventure and action, they're also well known for their comedic timing and funny dialogue, enjoyed universally.
Different Types of Humor and Universal Humor
Let's now see how universal humor fits in with the documented four types of humor.
There are four types of humor, as delineated by researcher/psychologist Rod Martin and his colleagues. They are affiliative humor; aggressive humor; self-enhancing humor; and lastly, self-defeating humor. And guess what? Further research corroborates these types are universal!
"The four types of humor have been found to be applicable in different countries…However, people from different cultural backgrounds may use them in different ways."
Frontiers in Psychology, 29 January 2019
For example, while all forms of humor are evident in various cultures studied across the world, some cultures used one form over the other more often.
Affiliative humor is more prevalent in socially cohesive cultures.
Aggressive humor is increased in cultures that our more competitive in their social and economic communities.
The concept of 'saving face' is considered incredibly important in Chinese culture, thus, they are rated as more likely to use self-enhancing humor to cover up individual mistakes.
Humor is context connected in many cases and linguistically dependent. This means that the old adage 'Lost in translation' is true for some jokes and comedic stories.
How can parents and teachers use universal humor tactics?

Video can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Top 10 Most Hilarious Slapstick Comedians (https://youtu.be/qr7onP8c8q8)
Watch Mojo has compiled the best movie/film slapstick humor clips from over the years.
Now what does this all mean, particularly for us parents and teachers who are humor-challenged? Well, several things in fact.
Parents and teachers can benefit from universal humor, once they get what's universal about it. Like all good teachers think, the skill of humor can, after all, be taught/learned like anything else. So once teachers and parents figure out universal humor, they can apply it to enhance their own humor standing.
To reiterate what's been said (i.e. 'what we know about universal humor'): All four types of humor exist cross-culturally. However, there are certain ones that are better suited for use with children, specifically, affiliative and self-enhancing humor. It's best to avoid aggressive humor with kids, and self-defeating humor should be cautiously utilized.
With that, we can move forward to more specific, concrete humor tactics.
One very useful style of humor across cultures is slapstick. This humor is easier to comprehend and recognize. It limits language and is overt and simplified in most cases. It's why it's the favorite of little kids everywhere!
Some Slapstick Comedians/Comedies Popular All Around the World (all links to Amazon):
Laurel and Hardy – Perhaps set the tone for slapstick with their bumbling comedy beginning in the 1920s causing kids to still laugh today
Rowan Atkinson of Mr. Bean fame, which you can watch in live-action or animation versionsl
Jim Carrey of Ace Ventura fame, who also famously played the Grinch
Jackie Chan of many karate movies, including the animated Jackie Chan Adventures
Jack Black of Kung Fu Panda franchise, plus Goosebumps
On a personal note, I've never been as funny as my husband, but I've learned from him some universal features of humor. I promise it works! And I know this from experience of being married to my husband for longer than either of us can usually remember! No matter where he is, little kids gravitate to him, even the shyest ones!
My husband's Universal Humor Tips: That work with all kids, everywhere!
Act like a clown.
Make everything a game.
Smile big. In fact, exaggerate all facial expressions.
Look shocked and big-eyed.
Stick out your tongue!
Smack your head.
Be silly.
Poke, when applicable.
Make goofy sounds.
Use gibberish.
Say nonsensical things. Like you're 500 years old; or they are!
Argue with them about inarguable things. Say 'no, nope, nuh uh.'
The key here is to be overt; obvious; and clearly humorous. That's what makes it universal. Silliness works everywhere. And what I realized is, he's not afraid of looking goofy or being silly. You can't get embarrassed. Kids will sense if you are uncomfortable…then it's not funny; it's just weird.
Important Concern? When incorporating universal tactics as described above with kids, you might worry that it will impede your authority. I had this legitimate concern, too. However, I can attest that no one has more proven authority with kids than my husband, and yet he's able to have 2-12 year olds rolling on the floor with laughter in no time at all! As a karate teacher with decades of practical experience, he's commanded the most rambunctious classrooms with ease. He's wrangled 30 two and three-year-olds without a beat, having them eating out of his hands, and also listening attentively and following all directions!
Universal Humor Punchline
So the punchline about universal humor is this: Humor is universal. Research has proven this. But in all practical sense, parents and teachers can utilize slapstick humor and it pretty much works universally, wherever you are.
The reason slapstick is universal is that it's simple; overt; and clearly humorous so there's little room for misunderstandings or misconceptions. Even the shyest, most introverted kids everywhere will smile if you make a silly face at them. Go ahead and try it. I dare ya!

Q: I'm trying to get timezone name using GMT value I have unix timestamps created in a database table. I know user's timezone it is also saved in a table and int the format of "GMT+04:00" , "GMT+05:30"
What I'm trying to do is take the timestamp and show readable time to the users according to their timezone.
Ex.
$startTime = '1524391500';

echo date('h:ia', $startTime) . '
';
date_default_timezone_set('America/Fortaleza');
echo date('h:ia', $startTime) . '
';

this will give us the result
10:05am
07:05am

The problem is date_default_timezone_set doesn't accept the timezone in this
date_default_timezone_set('GMT+05:30');

So I need a way to convert "GMT+05:30" to something like "America/Fortaleza"
can some one help me with this?

A: What you ask for is not possible.  A time zone and a time zone offset are two different things.
Consider a single time zone like America/Sao_Paulo.  It uses an offset of -03:00 during Standard Time, and an offset of -02:00 during Daylight Saving Time.
Now consider that America/Fortaleza you mentioned uses -03:00 over the entire year.
As you can see, for a given time zone I may have more than one offset, and for a given offset I may have more than one time zone.  You can review the lists of time zones and their offsets if you want to find more examples for yourself.
This is covered extensively in other answers, as well as in the "Time Zone != Offset" section of the timezone tag wiki.

PALESTINE, Texas (September 27, 2017) – Downtown Palestine will become a little quieter as a railroad Quiet Zone will be implemented on October 20.
The City of Palestine sent a letter of notice to Union Pacific and the Federal Railroad Administration on the creation of the zone. Signs will be posted for motorists and train engineers at two downtown crossings, South Magnolia and South Sycamore streets.
In April 2016, the city contracted engineers CTC Inc. to work with Union Pacific and the Federal Railroad Administration on the quiet zone preparation. After consultation with Union Pacific, an extended curb was installed on South Magnolia Street for additional safety.
"The implementation of a quiet zone has been a long process for many years," Public Works Director Tim Perry said. "The first times that the city tried to request implementing a quiet zone the equipment to meet federal standards were not in place and the cost of upgrading them was in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Years later when the request to re-evaluate the implementation was requested our investigations found that all the older monitoring equipment, and signal arms had been updated to the current standard to accommodate the implementation of a quiet zone.
Greg Laudadio, Main Street Manager and Assistant Director for the Palestine Economic Development Corporation, said the quiet zone will have a huge positive impact.

"We are changing the word headshots to professional profile picture", explained one of my competitors during a phone conversation about the progress of portrait photography.  This competitor which I won't mention names is a photographer dedicated to headshots and believes the word headshot to be outdated and should be changed to professional profile pictures.
I believe the word headshot is synonymous for professional profile pictures and that the word itself is the difference between what we would traditionally call a portrait photograph vs a headshot.  Nonetheless, whether a photographer calls it professional profile picture, headshot, portrait or even a mug shot it's alright.  The following four attributes that should be the aim for a headshot, professional profile picture or any other name you want to call it; Engaging, Professional, Technically Correct and Photographed by a Professional.
A portrait or profile image should be engaging which means having an image of yourself or team that builds a relationship with the captive audience.  Often I am told that I have a great technique for making my subjects comfortable but in my opinion making someone look comfortable is but step 1 of about 20 steps towards finding an outstanding headshot that can be used as a profile picture on the about us page, Facebook, LinkedIn and other professional designated social media sites.
The word professional has different interpretations some believe that a somber person looks professional, others judge professionalism by the clothing worn at  - we believe professionalism to mean something different.
A professional* has an exclusive understanding, a methodology, and integrity towards his or her field.  Clothing and attitude are completely irrelevant but their demeanor is everything.  We help bring professionalism to your portrait through our exclusive methodologies for interviewing our client throughout the session.
Your headshot should be optimized for different needs ie. Printing files have over ten times the amount of data than the image used for web browsing yet it looks exactly the same in a monitor.  If a web image is used for printing the image will look grainy and if a printing image is used for web it will slow down the website and the search engines will penalize the excessive data by not showing the image at all.  All our files contain metadata descriptions to be easily and readily found.
An engaging portrait that showcases one's professionalism optimized for the particular needs, usually for profile image ( ie. LinkedIn ) or printing material.
A professional photographer will interact with the client to help him or she reveals his best, while also adding post-production techniques that will elevate the captured portrait.
Does looking younger mean better?
"Can you match the selfie software used on my phone, it's wonderful...  I don't have any wrinkles...", asked a client recently.  Unfortunately, most people don't know how to evaluate a headshot believing that looking younger is better.  A professional photographer will certainly reduce lines but not at the expense of making one look like a cartoon.  Media have almost convinced us that fewer wrinkles and the closer one look to 13 yrs old the better we become.  In Japan Women wanted smaller feet and would wear shoes that destroyed their bones in the pursuit of challenging our nature to have smaller feet, equally in the eighteen hundred's Western woman would wear corset ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_corsets ) dresses that would damage respiratory system.  Today, we believe that younger is better - people are willing to pay a tremendous amount of physical and financial price to look younger at the expense of healthier living.
"I understand that you are now in your sixties... I would rather be photographing you with your life experiences, education and resolved aura than any 13 yrs old for Vogue", I stated to a client in front of my camera while admiring her immensely.  My stomach churned in thinking that she may never appreciate her portrait now because she is in her sixties. In spite of being one of the most beautiful portraits captured.

Four time world champion and Sumo showman Byamba has been in the sumo ring longer than most fighters. Following his shocking departure from Japan's exclusive Pro Sumo leagues at the young age of 20, Byamba was challenged to reinvent his career and seek glory beyond Japan's shores. Now the former World Champion, the titan of Sumo wrestling shares in an exclusive interview, reflects on the real cost of glory.
At the young age of 15, native Mongolian wrestler Byamba was handpicked for the rigorous life of a professional sumo-in- training in Japan. Born Byambajav "Byamba" Ulambayar, the novice wrestler left his birth country of Mongolia for Japan; a country whose language and culture was altogether foreign. Despite the challenges that confronted him, Byamba quickly ascended up the hierarchy of Japanese sumo wrestling, competing in the Pro Leagues and set to reach revered Yokozuna status. Yet, despite his success in the cloistered world of Japanese Sumo wrestling, Byamba controversially quit the elite Japanese Pro Sumo leagues at the age of 20 due to a fall out with his coach. Since his departure from the Japanese league, the Mongolian wrestler has shaped and adapted his career for the world stage, and is even credited with importing sumo to the US. Now at 33 Byamba the sumo world champion reflects on his journey to glory and what he left along the way.
The Bod Edit: What drew you to sumo?
Byamba: At that time, I was about 16, I was living in Mongolia. They held a tryout for young athletes where I lived, so I thought I would go and check it out. Basically, the guy who was holding the tryouts was a Japanese former Grand Champion. He had scouted dozens of young Mongolian top wrestlers and grapplers, and from that tryouts he picked one person, me, to go to Japan and join his team.
I guess it was quite by chance. It was something I had never planned or expected. I had no idea whatsoever about Japanese sumo and had no plans to go there.I went to the tryouts because I thought I might get into Mongolian wrestling.
I flew straight to Japan and spent 4 – 5 years in pro sumo training. The training is intense. Every day, all day; nearly everyday of the entire year. I think it's my background in Japan, that kind of intensity and discipline that has helped my practice and my career.
I think it's my background in Japan, that kind of intensity and discipline that has helped my practice and my career.
So do you believe your professional training in Japan has given you that edge internationally?
Firstly I should explain that there is Pro Sumo and International Sumo. Japanese pro sumo is incredibly rigorous and traditional, whereas internationally sumo is practiced as a sport. Japanese Pro sumo is only within Japan and a strict hierarchy of competitors to the top rank of Yokozuna.
I left Japan when I was about 20, and some of my contemporaries, other Mongolian nationals who had joined, they ended up becoming top rank. I can't say for sure what rank I would have reached in Japan but I think it's my training that helped me with the world champion titles.
At the time I didn't think so much about the future I just, made a decision based on the situation then. I didn't have the experience or think what I was doing.
Was it a hard decision to leave Japan and your pro training there? Especially when you were doing so well?
Yeah definitely a very tough decision. I'd even call it a mistake. At the time I didn't think so much about the future I just made a decision based on the situation then. I didn't have the experience, or think what I was doing.
But I had a falling out with my coach, I had injury issues at the time, so I just decided to go. It was a tough decision at the time, but looking back on it, if I hadn't left, even at this age now I would probably still be in pro sumo.
But Japan is very rigid, if I had stayed there I probably would have had much more of a regimented life, but in a way that's secure and stable. I wouldn't have the freedom I do now.
For sumo to develop worldwide, people need to see sumo as a sport.
People have a stereotypical view of it and a misconception that it's just a couple of big fat guys stumbling through the ring.
With sumo being so traditional, how do you feel it could develop worldwide?
In Japanese pro sumo there are cultural trappings that have been around for centuries and so joining the pros is a full time, year- round job. You're never going to be able to transfer or convey everything from that lifestyle and culture when you bring it to different countries. Sumo isn't just a sport, it's a lifestyle. It's almost like a historical, cultural transmission of lots of things from ancient Japan that will otherwise become lost.
So for sumo to develop worldwide, people need to see sumo as a sport.
What do you think surprises people the most about sumo?
I think when people see sumo for the first time, they're really amazed by how interesting it is. They have a stereotypical view of it and a misconception that it's just a couple of big fat guys stumbling through the ring. But really, most people are really impressed, pleasantly amazed by the level of athleticism and dynamism. I see that everytime because people are cheering, they're so excited, they want to ask questions. Everyone is so fascinated by so many aspects of it. It's not something they're familiar with and they didn't expect it to be that interesting.
Do your sumo" is about win or lose you've got to do what you can do best and execute it as best as you can.
How do you prepare for a match mentally and physically?
Well the most important thing is keiko, sumo practice; practising to the point where the body moves naturally during the match, where I don't have to think about it. It's trained to do its job. Mentally it's more about just getting myself concentrating so I can do my own "sumo". "Do your sumo" is a phrase that is used alot, its about win or lose you've got to do what you can do best and execute it as best as you can.
What's been the hardest part of your career?
When I reflect back over all these years, probably the hardest thing is being far away from my family. There have been a lot of cool projects, but I was hardly able to see my parents during all of these many years.
I left Mongolia when I was just 16, and I didn't go back until I was 20, then I went to the states when I was 21. During all that time, probably the last 18 years, I've barely seen my parents. My mum was able to get a visa a couple of times, but my father hasn't been able to. I couldn't leave training in Japan to go back to Mongolia, and now with travelling so much, I can hardly get back. So that's been one of the hardest things.
More than winning any of those world championships and more than winning any titles…the thing I'm proudest of is that I've reached so many different people with all my work.
More than winning any of those world championships and more than winning any titles, when I think back over the last years, the thing I'm proudest of is that I've reached so many different people with all my work. I've been doing this a long time, longer than anyone else., I've actually been travelling the world, doing hundreds of events, being filmed and doing sumo everywhere.
In terms of my international appearances and work, I've done more than anyone else. So when I think back, that's probably what I'm proudest of; all the outreach, all the impact I've made for sumo. When I talk about the events and being filmed, I don't mean as an entertainer, a circus act or a joke. It is as a genuine athlete and sumo trainer. I'm showing people things about culture and educating people through the medium of sumo. In Japan, obviously the top guys are very famous. But they're not necessarily bringing all of their background and experience to everyone around the world like I've been able to by not being in pro Sumo.
Byambajav "Byamba" Ulambayar was handpicked from his native Mongolia at the age of 16 by a Japanese Sumo league coach. Byamba then entered the training stables of the Japanese Pro League. Byamba left Japan and the Japanese Pro League age 20, he then was scouted by USA Sumo to bring sumo to the states, where he swiftly won the Sumo World Championships. Now four time winner he is arguably the most successful international sumo wrestler. Byamba has also appeared in films, appearances and performances worldwide.

Facebook-Cambridge Analytica Shows The Importance Of Data And Trust In Advertising
by AdExchanger // Thursday, March 22nd, 2018 – 12:05 am
"Data-Driven Thinking" is written by members of the media community and contains fresh ideas on the digital revolution in media.
Today's column is written by Joshua Lowcock, executive vice president and chief digital and innovation officer at UM Worldwide.
The advertising industry often talks about trust – trust between advertisers and their agencies, trust between advertisers and media owners. But very little is publicly said about the trust placed by the public in the advertising industry.
Individuals and the public at large have a right to demand and expect that advertisers, agencies, media and platform owners will treat them with respect. In digital, with the wealth of data available to marketers and the pressure to squeeze every last ounce of efficiency out of media dollars, there are always a myriad of companies offering new data sets.
Companies are offering agencies new data all the time but as industry players we are increasingly saying no because the way the data is obtained or used doesn't sit well with our values and principles. As a result, these companies (often) quickly disappear. Data collected without clear permission or applied in inappropriate ways has no place in the advertising or media industry.
Data-driven marketing is an important part of our industry. If performed with transparency and respect for the trust the public places in us, it has the power to not only make our industry better but help advertising fund new content, services and tools that contribute value to society and the economy.
But if we betray the trust the public places in our industry and don't treat the public with respect then we don't deserve the right to use the public's data. Zuckerberg acknowledged this in his post on Wednesday in response to the Cambridge Analytica situation: "This was a breach of trust between [Aleksandr] Kogan, Cambridge Analytica and Facebook. But it was also a breach of trust between Facebook and the people who share their data with us and expect us to protect it."
Cambridge Analytica betrayed trust on many levels. Facebook was too trusting and was blindsided by how sophisticated the data industry has become. The lesson that can be learned for all of us is that data, like all things that can empower so much good, can be weaponized for bad. That's why phrases like "computational propaganda" and "weaponized data" are entering the lexicon.
As an industry, we risk letting these negative terms become the brand for data-driven marketing unless we collectively stand up and say that Cambridge Analytica's behavior is unacceptable and has no place in marketing and advertising. Cambridge Analytica does not represent the advertising industry. Its behavior and companies that behave similarly have no place in this industry.
What the coming weeks and months should remind us all is that, as an industry, we need to always ask the tough questions about data. Where and how is it collected? Has it been obtained appropriately and with permission? Is it compliant with privacy principles? Is it legal? And, just as importantly, is it ethically and morally right to use the data in an intended way?
The line between good and bad use of data is the moral, ethical and value compass of each and every individual working in this industry.
In the end, though, it all comes back to trust. We need to ensure that when the industry talks about trust and transparency, individual consumers are included and considered as important to the trust equation as agencies and advertisers. The more we include consumers in the trust equation, the better it will be for the industry.

Author of the Book of Lamentations Author - Jeremiah (According to the Bible and Jewish Tradition). The first four poems are arranged in an acrostic form with each containing 22 verses which correspond with the 22 consonants of the Hebrew alphabet. In chapter 3 each letter of the Hebrew alphabet is allotted 3 of the 66 verses which comprise the poem. Some conclude that the reason for this was because Israel had sinned from beginning to end (A-Z, or in the Hebrew aleph-tav). Jeremiah, who wrote the lamentations was an eyewitness of the events, and this brought him great sorrow for he knew the people, he knew the city, he knew the children, and he knew the festivities that existed among the people of Judah. Interesting note: The Jewish translators of the Septuagint (LXX) attribute Jeremiah as the author of the Lamentations, and so do other ancient translations: The Aramaic Targum, the Latin Vulgate, and the Syriac Peshitta, and the Babylonian Talmud.
Book of Lamentations in Easton's Bible Dictionary called in the Hebrew canon _'Ekhah_, meaning "How," being the formula for the commencement of a song of wailing. It is the first word of the book (see 2 Sam. 1:19-27). The LXX. adopted the name rendered "Lamentations" (Gr. threnoi = Heb. qinoth) now in common use, to denote the character of the book, in which the prophet mourns over the desolations brought on the city and the holy land by Chaldeans. In the Hebrew Bible it is placed among the Khethubim. (See BIBLE �T0000580.) As to its authorship, there is no room for hesitancy in following the LXX. and the Targum in ascribing it to Jeremiah. The spirit, tone, language, and subject-matter are in accord with the testimony of tradition in assigning it to him. According to tradition, he retired after the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar to a cavern outside the Damascus gate, where he wrote this book. That cavern is still pointed out. "In the face of a rocky hill, on the western side of the city, the local belief has placed 'the grotto of Jeremiah.' There, in that fixed attitude of grief which Michael Angelo has immortalized, the prophet may well be supposed to have mourned the fall of his country" (Stanley, Jewish Church). The book consists of five separate poems. In chapter 1 the prophet dwells on the manifold miseries oppressed by which the city sits as a solitary widow weeping sorely. In chapter 2 these miseries are described in connection with the national sins that had caused them. Chapter 3 speaks of hope for the people of God. The chastisement would only be for their good; a better day would dawn for them. Chapter 4 laments the ruin and desolation that had come upon the city and temple, but traces it only to the people's sins. Chapter 5 is a prayer that Zion's reproach may be taken away in the repentance and recovery of the people. The first four poems (chapters) are acrostics, like some of the Psalms (25, 34, 37, 119), i.e., each verse begins with a letter of the Hebrew alphabet taken in order. The first, second, and fourth have each twenty-two verses, the number of the letters in the Hebrew alphabet. The third has sixty- six verses, in which each three successive verses begin with the same letter. The fifth is not acrostic. Speaking of the "Wailing-place (q.v.) of the Jews" at Jerusalem, a portion of the old wall of the temple of Solomon, Schaff says: "There the Jews assemble every Friday afternoon to bewail the downfall of the holy city, kissing the stone wall and watering it with their tears. They repeat from their well-worn Hebrew Bibles and prayer-books the Lamentations of Jeremiah and suitable Psalms."
Greek Name and Meaning of the Book of Lamentations Greek Name - Threnos "Lament"
Hebrew Name and Meaning of the Book of Lamentations In the Hebrew the word for the name of the book of Lamentations is "Eikah" which means "How." How could this happen?
Lamentations in the Picture Study Bible Study Bible with information, images, and notes on many important subjects from the ancient world. Archaeological notes, geographical notes, ancient documents and manuscripts, cultural notes, theological notes, articles from scholars, information about ancient history, ancient customs, ancient temples, ancient monuments, and a close look at people, places, and events from the ancient world that are explained in an easy to understand format.
Lamentations of Jeremiah in Smiths Bible Dictionary Title. --The Hebrew title of this book, Ecah, is taken, like the titles of the five books of Moses, from the Hebrew word with which it opens. Author. --The poems included in this collection appear in the Hebrew canon with no name attached to them, but Jeremiah has been almost universally regarded as their author. Date. --The poems belong unmistakably to the last days of the kingdom, or the commencement of the exile, B.C. 629-586. They are written by one who speaks, with the vividness and intensity of an eye-witness, of the misery which he bewails. Contents. --The book consists of five chapter, each of which, however, is a separate poem, complete in itself, and having a distinct subject, but brought at the same time under a plan which includes them all. A complicated alphabetic structure pervades nearly the whole book. (1) Chs. 1,2 and 4 contain twenty-two verses each, arranged in alphabetic order, each verse falling into three nearly balanced clauses; ch. La 2:19 forms an exception, as having a fourth clause. (2) Ch. 3 contains three short verses under each letter of the alphabet, the initial letter being three times repeated. (3) Ch. 5 contains the same number of verses as chs. 1,2,4, but without the alphabetic order. Jeremiah was not merely a patriot-poet, weeping over the ruin of his country; he was a prophet who had seen all this coming, and had foretold it as inevitable. There are perhaps few portions of the Old Testament which appear to have done the work they were meant to do more effectually than this. The book has supplied thousands with the fullest utterance for their sorrows in the critical periods of national or individual suffering. We may well believe that it soothed the weary years of the Babylonian exile. It enters largely into the order of the Latin Church for the services of passion-week. On the ninth day of the month of Ab (July-August), the Lamentations of Jeremiah were read, year by year, with fasting and weeping, to commemorate the misery out of which the people had been delivered.
Outline of the Book of Lamentations Quick Overview of Lamentations. � �1 � � a destroyed Jerusalem cries out for mercy � � 2 � �the Lord's chastisement and the effects � � 3 � � a cry from the heart of a chastened people � � 4 � � the horrors surrounding the siege and the fall of the city of Jerusalem � � 5 � � a lament and prayer for the restoration of Jerusalem.
Summary of the Book of Lamentations The book contains five poems that depict the condition of the forsaken city of Jerusalem which had been burnt to the ground and utterly demolished by the Babylonians on the ninth of Av in the Jewish calendar in 586 BC, in contrast to the magnificent splendor that it once possessed. The reason for God's chastisement on the people of Judah and on the city of Jerusalem are spelled out in the form of an appeal made to God to remember the great suffering of his people and to take vengeance upon the conquerors of His city and the people of Judah.
Type of Jesus in the Book of Lamentations Types and Shadows - In Lamentations Jesus is the weeping prophet who wept over Jerusalem for her blindness.
