Land Rover’s Range Rover Velar has achieved a five-star Euro NCAP rating, making it one of the safest SUVs sold.
The Velar managed to score 93 percent for adult occupant protection, 85 percent for child occupant protection, 74 percent for pedestrian protection and 72 percent for assistance systems, edging out the new Discovery’s score.
While the Range Rover SUV loses out in some areas compared to the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, which scored 97 percent for adult occupant protection and 84 percent in child occupant protection, the Velar beats the Alfa Romeo SUV in the pedestrian and assistance categories by three and 12 percent, respectively.
The Velar has managed to beat the Audi Q5’s scores of 73 percent for pedestrian protection and 58 percent for assistance systems, and even the edging out the famously safe Volvo XC90’s 72 percent pedestrian protection score.
The Velar scored five stars across all variants; Euro NCAP recently introduced a two-tier score system, with one score for cars in their standard form and another for the same car with optional safety equipment fitted.
Land Rover in India is currently gearing up to launch the Range Rover Velar in the market as a CBU, after having introduced the Discovery earlier this year.

2009 Dodge Ram 1500: The Chrome Has Got To Go
August 06, 2009
Chrome wheels are fine for some trucks.
But not trucks with four-wheel drive. And not trucks with Hemi V8s either. Not to mention trucks with giant Ram badges on their noses or dual exhaust pipes sticking out their rear bumpers.
Nope. I'll give them polished aluminum maybe, but the shiny stuff is just wrong. Other than that, I really like this truck so far. We'll see how it holds up.

Peter Greenberg was a great educator, who made a positive impact on thousands of students, including me - and I wasn't even a student at his school.
I have received from many parties the following information:
On Monday, members of the G7 hired Angela Regnier, the CFS National Vice-Chair to a full-time position in the SFSS. This was one of their last acts before getting kicked out of office by the students of SFU. Two of my sources state this hiring may have violated some policies and could result in grievances being filed by the union representing the staff of SFSS.
She has been hired as Research and Policy Coordinator of the SFSS.
Expect little Research to occur and lots of enforcement of the Party (CFS) line.

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum confirmed today that Tyson Fury will make in excess of $100 million for his fights in Saudi Arabia against Francis Ngannou on October 28th and IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in December.
With the money Fury is getting for his next two fights, you have to imagine that Anthony Joshua, Eddie Hearn & Deontay Wilder are green with envy, as they had hoped to put together a massive money fight with the Saudis in January and the deal never came through for them.
Fury’s fight with Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs), which was announced today, is tentative for December. Arum says the official date won’t be revealed until after his October 28th fight against Ngannou because he could get injured in that contest, which makes it impossible to return in December.
Provided that Fury gets through his fight with Ngannou in one piece, he’ll face Usyk in December for the undisputed championship, with the IBF, WBA, WBC & WBO heavyweight titles at stake. The winner will hold all the belts and could then look to take on the other big names in the division.
Most boxing fans believe the 6’9″ Fury will be too big for the former undisputed cruiserweight champion Usyuk, but you can’t rule out an upset. Fury hasn’t fought a good fighter in years, and he’s put on a lot of weight.
The style that Fury taught to him by his American trainer Sugarhill Steward, which involves a lot of mauling, would not work against a mobile heavyweight that doesn’t stand in front of him, like Usyk.
That’s an enormous amount of money that WBC champion Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) is getting from the Saudia, especially given that he hasn’t fought a quality heavyweight in two years since his trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder in October 2021.
In Fury’s last two fights, he’s had easy title defenses against a pair of fringe-level fighters, 39-year-old Dereck Chisora & Dillian Whyte.
“Tyson has to take care of business on October 28th, when he fights Ngannou, and Then we’re off to the races with the unified heavyweight championship,” said Bob Arum to the media today, talking about Tyson Fury’s fight against Francis Ngannou on October 28th, followed by a tentative fight against IBF, WBA & WBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in December in Saudi Arabia.
“Obviously, the date is not going to be confirmed until after October 28th because what happens if Tyson gets busted up or hurts his hand?
“I think he’s going to make a lot more. I don’t know the number, but it’s a lot more than $100 [million],” said Arum about how much Fury is going to make for his fights with Ngannou & Usyk.

Gill is a community worker and professional genealogist with an interest in culturally diverse histories of the northern inland border region of New South Wales. Gill is particularly interested in giving voice to points of view and accounts of the development of the northern inland border region that diverge from the dominant European discourse. She travels widely and frequently in that area, gathering stories and images as an evidence base for the wider sharing of these non-dominant histories.
During 2016, Gill researched and wrote about the story of the Chinese Wesleyan missionary Joseph Tear Tack and his wife Emma Lee Young, together with historians Paul MacGregor and Dr Kate Bagnall. The Reverend Tear Tack ministered to a large Chinese population in the northern NSW towns of Tingha and Bundarra at the height of the 19th Century tin boom. Subsequently, Gill has been involved in fact-gathering research trips with Dr Juanita Kwok, and recently had the pleasure of introducing Juanita Kwok and Paul McGregor to some of the small regional museums in Tingha, Inverell and Glen Innes that house a wealth of Chinese Australian history.

Ticket sales have started for the 2018 season of the Szeged Open-Air Festival
Productions of Sister Act, Fiddler on the Roof, Romeo and Juliet and Rigoletto will all premiere on Dóm Square in the coming season. The Hunchbank of Notre Dame will also be returning to Szeged’s stage under the stars.
As in the past few years, it will be an opera opening the 2018 season, and once again it will be an audience favourite by a popular composer: Verdi’s Rigoletto will be shown on 29 and 30 June. The opera was last performed on the Dóm Square stage in 1987.
In September 2017, the Zikkurat Theatrical Agency will present one of the most beloved musicals of all time: Fiddler on the Roof, directed by Róbert Alföldi. The story of Tevje the dairyman and the residents of Anatevka will unfold on the Szeged Open-Air stage on 6 and 7 July. At last, Szeged spectators will also get to hum along to the hit tune If I Were a Rich Man. 2018 will mark the first time in the festival's 87-year-old history that Fiddler on the Roof is being included in its programme.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame will return to the Open-Air Festival on 13, 14 and 15 July. Co-produced with the Budapest Operetta Theatre, the musical was already an unprecedented success well in advance of its 2017 premiere: tickets were hard to come by even months before the first show. Viewers were rewarded with a heartbreaking story and a spectacular show directed by Miklós Gábor Kerényi KERO, with the magnificent music of world-famous composer and eight-time Oscar-winner Alan Menken.
It's also time for the next chapter in the successful Shakespeare series on Dóm Square. Following two hilarious comedies, the festival will now feature Romeo and Juliet, the English master’s most famous love story. Audiences will get to shed a tear or two on 27, 28 and 29 July while watching the familiar tale of the “pair of star-cross’d lovers”.
Hungarian audiences have never before had the chance to see Sister Act, the musical based on the iconic film comedy of the '90s that has already enchanted millions of theatregoers in the West End and on Broadway. This piece by Alan Menken – who can also take credit for other shows like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame – will premiere on the Szeged Open-Air stage on 10 August, co-presented by the festival and Zikkurat. Rich in exhilarating soul and disco melodies, the comedy will also play on 11, 12, 17 and 18 August. The production will be a worthy follow-up to Mamma Mia!, another musical full of irresistible pop hits linked to a global blockbluster film.
2017. September 18.

WASHINGTON – The second of two new bills focusing on children flowing over the U.S.-Mexico border is expected to be introduced today as Congress takes bipartisan steps to grapple with the crisis.
On Monday two Texans, Sen. John Cornyn, a Republican, and Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Democrat, announced a broad approach that would treat Central American children the same as those from Mexico, meaning that the children could remain in the U.S. to make their case before an immigration judge within seven days.
That bill is similar to a proposal introduced Friday that is supported by nearly a dozen California Republican House members. It is sponsored by Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Corona, and also calls for children coming from non-adjacent countries to go before a judge.
With 11 working days remaining before Congress takes a month-long recess, both bills could be combined or voted on separately.
Both bills would change a 2008 law intended to aid human trafficking victims transported to the U.S. from around the globe.
Unaccompanied children from countries other than Mexico are waiting an average of 578 days for a hearing, according to Calvert – and enforcement for them to appear in court is lacking.
“I think something will be done before we leave for the August break,” Calvert said Monday. “I hope the Senate ultimately clears what we are going to do – it’s hard to get anything out of the Senate nowadays – but I think there’s a lot of pressure to do something so I think the chances are relatively good.”
The bipartisan effort calls for undocumented immigrant children to be screened by Health and Human Services officials before seeing a judge. If a judge decides that the child can pursue a legal claim – a determination that has to be made within 72 hours – the child will be allowed to stay in the United States with a sponsor.
Of more than 57,000 unaccompanied minors who’ve arrived at the border since October, only 1,254 had been returned home as of the end of June, according to a law enforcement official who spoke to the Associated Press anonymously to discuss confidential data.
“The president’s unilateral actions have sent a misleading message that resulted in tens of thousands of children making a perilous journey to our country with the belief they would be allowed to stay,” said Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista, a co-sponsor of the Calvert bill.
“The best resolution to this humanitarian crisis is the safe return of these children to their families and country of origin,” Issa added. “By promptly returning them home to their loved ones, it sends a clear message that will discourage other children from making this dangerous trip.”
But critics said Calvert’s bill will essentially gut a law that allows people looking for asylum in the U.S. to use an established process. The Congressional Hispanic Caucus, chaired by Rep. Ruben Hinojosa, D-Texas, charged that protections for children will be removed and added that many fled violence in their home countries.
Rep. Loretta Sanchez, D-Santa Ana, a member of the Hispanic Caucus, agreed, saying, “When the Trafficking Victims Protection Act came to the House floor in 2008, not one Republican objected to this provision. Now when the intent of the bill – protecting children from trafficking – is actually working, Republicans want to change the rules. Enough is enough.”
Instead, Sanchez said she supports the president’s funding request for $3.7 billion, which would allow a more thorough screening process for the juveniles at the border and attend to basic needs.
Marc R. Rosenblum, deputy director for U.S. immigration policy program at the Migration Policy Institute, said although Democrats will not be thrilled about either of the two bills, there is a middle ground.
“I think there’s a lot that can be done under the existing legal framework to make sure you speed up the hearing process by surging the immigration judges and providing adequate pro bono counsel and providing for everything to make that process happen smoothly,” Rosenblum said Monday.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the White House welcomes “constructive engagement from Republicans” but will wait to see actual legislation.
California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who co-wrote the 2008 law, said last week that the law does not need amending because it has an “exceptional circumstances” provision, which could be triggered by large numbers of undocumented immigrants. That should give the administration more flexibility to remove children, she said.
The Associated Press and SFGate contributed to this report.

While they’re still only officially saying that the it will launch “later this year”, it appears that Google is taking the steps to get ready for a Chrome Web Store launch very soon. Specifically, a post today highlights that developers can now hook their apps up to Google Checkout merchant accounts (to be able to sell their apps — U.S.-only for the time being), and that there is now a way to preview how your app will look in the store when it goes live.
None of this should be too surprising consider that a presentation in August stated the Chrome Web Store would launch in October. But all the pieces are finally falling into place. While the placeholder space for apps in Chromium (the open source browser that Chrome is based on) keep popping in and out of existence, the Web Store itself seems to be fully functional (it’s a part of the Extension online area).
Google has also posted a set of guidelines for what images developers will need when they upload their app for display in the Web Store. Included here are guidelines for icons, header backgrounds, screenshots, and promotional images (which are optional).
As we’ve previously noted, the main overview page for the Web Store appears to look very similar to Apple’s App Store in iTunes. But today, they’re showing off an example of what individual app pages will look like — it looks simple and obvious enough. See that preview below — look for its launch in the next few weeks.

Saturday, March 29
I want to thank my good friend Ricardo for pointing out something to me that I was oblivious to. Being a gringa living in Brazil, I am chock full of amusing stories involving culture shock.
I have lived for over ten years in Rio de Janeiro. I must point out to my loyal blog readers that Brazil is not just Rio de Janeiro. It is a diverse country with all sizes and shapes of people that you can imagine. To the south, there is a strong German and Italian influence. The town of Blumenau in the state of Santa Catarina is home to the largest Oktoberfest outside of Germany. Sao Paulo is home to the largest Japanese population outside of Japan. The Portuguese arrived in Brazil in 1500. The Dutch came to the North of Brazil and tried to oust the Portuguese, but were defeated. They left behind architecture in Sao Luiz de Maranhao which is absolutely stunning. My children's paternal grandfather is of Dutch descent, mixed with Brazilian Indian.Their paternal grandmother is Portuguese. My father is German and my mother is of Irish and English descent.Multi ethnicity is what makes Brazil such a diverse and interesting country, and I urge everyone to come and discover this wonderful country.......

What a joke! The Vatican lost money in the same way that banks lost money, and everyone knows that banks never lose money; it’s the people who lose money – not the crooked banks and certainly not the crooked Catholic Church. TGO
Refer to story below. Source: Associated Press
VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican has registered one of its worst deficits in years, plunging back into the red with a €15 million ($19 million) deficit in 2011 after a brief respite of profit.
The Vatican on Thursday blamed the poor outcome on high personnel and communications costs and adverse market conditions.
Not even a €50 million gift to the pope from the Vatican bank and increased donations from dioceses and religious orders could offset the expenses and poor investment returns.
The Vatican said it ran a €14.9 million deficit in 2011 after posting a profit of €9.85 million in 2010. The 2010 profit, however, was something of an anomaly. In 2009 the Vatican ran a deficit of €4.01 million, in 2008 the deficit was €0.9 million and in 2007 it was nearly €9.1 million.

Bama bashes Notre Dame, 42-14, in BCS title game
and Heisman Trophy finalist.
Lacy finished with 140 yards on 20 carries, coming up with two of his best performances in the two biggest games of the year. He rushed for a career-high 181 yards in a thrilling victory over Georgia in the SEC title game, and was nearly as dominant against the Irish. McCarron wasn’t too shabby, either, completing 20 of 28 passes for four touchdowns and 264 yards, adding another dazzling effort on top of his MVP in last year’s title game.
Alabama (13-1) scored 69 straight points against its title game opponents, going back to getting the final 13 against Texas in 2010, followed by a stifling 21-0 victory over LSU for last year’s crown, then scoring the first 35 points on Notre Dame. Saban’s team made the Irish (12-1) look like a squad that would be hard-pressed to finish in the middle of the pack in the mighty Southeastern Conference, which has now won seven straight national championships.

A luminous homage to the multi-faceted French director, author, producer, and actress, Marceline Loridan-Ivens, this documentary captures the essence of a trailblazer. Marceline, a Holocaust survivor, was not only a testament to resilience but also a pioneering figure in the French avant-garde film movement of the 1950s, collaborating with the likes of Jean Rouch and Edgar Morin. Her cinematic journey took a global turn as she, alongside her husband, Dutch filmmaker Joris Ivens, ventured to chronicle Vietnam's fight for independence and China's post-Cultural Revolution era. This film celebrates her vibrant legacy and indomitable spirit.
In conclusion, these stories, lensed meticulously through documentaries and docuseries, narrate tales of endurance, innovation, and transformation, proving that consequential impacts can burgeon from the most unassuming beginnings. Documentaries, in their authentic and vulnerable storytelling, allow viewers to immerse in real stories, providing a stage where these narratives can perpetually echo, inspire, and catalyze change. Reflecting upon these tales, one is reminded of the poignant words by storyteller Ben Okri: "To poison a nation, poison its stories... A demoralized nation tells demoralized stories to itself. To poison a nation, poison its stories."

Between August 15-18, 1969, more than 400,000 people converged on Max Yasgur’s 600-acre dairy farm in upstate New York for Woodstock. Thirty-two acts performed including some of the most popular and influential musicians of the era such as Joan Baez, The Band, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Sly and the Family Stone, and The Who.
This summer will be the 50th anniversary of Woodstock, the defining event of a generation and one of the most iconic moments in popular music history. Despite its enduring cultural significance, no one has ever attempted to document the historic festival as it unfolded in real time. The original triple album released in 1970 to coincide with the film of the event, barely scratched the surface of the total recordings. Another selection was issued the following year and that was it. A 25th anniversary 4CD box set arrived in 1994 which complimented the material already issued but this collection was heavily remixed. Then in 2009, a 6CD set for the 40th anniversary saw the most complete collection of the festival recordings yet released.
Producer Andy Zax says he, sound producer Brian Kehew and mastering engineer Dave Schultz avoided interfering with the tapes as much as possible in order to preserve their authenticity, resulting in tapes which are the sonic equivalent of heirloom tomatoes - "slightly imperfect, but delicious.” Zax and Steve Woolard have combined 42 Tracks on 3 CDs for the 'Woodstock – Back To The Garden – 50th Anniversary Collection', which is packaged in a 50th six panel digipak and includes a booklet with pictures, editorial, liners cut down from the vinyl.

Learning how to grow sweet potatoes is surprisingly easy – just a few plants provide a plentiful harvest. Sweet potatoes need a long warm growing season, are heat tolerant and drought resistant, and have very few pests or diseases. All of this makes them perfect for growing in the low desert of Arizona (yay!) Here are eight tips for how to plant, grow, and harvest sweet potatoes.
8 tips for growing sweet potatoes
2. Prepare soil correctly before planting sweet potatoes
3. Plant sweet potato slips
Sweet potatoes aren’t grown from seed like many other vegetables, they are started from slips – rooted sweet potato shoots grown from a mature sweet potato. Grow your own slips from sweet potatoes or purchase slips.
Most varieties do well in the long growing season of the low desert. In higher elevations or places with shorter growing seasons, choose from quickly maturing varieties such as ‘Beauregard’ and ‘O’Henry’.
Plant rooted slips 12-18 inches apart and 4 inches deep. Water well and feed with a starter solution high in phosphorus to ensure the plants root well.
4. Fertilize once and do not prune vines
About a month after planting sweet potatoes, fertilize with an organic fertilizer with phosphate and potassium to encourage more root development.
Occasional small harvests of greens to eat is fine, but do not prune back vigorous vines for the best-sized harvests. The size of the sweet potatoes is determined by the amount of sunlight the leaves receive. More sunlight and leaf surface area that receives sun means larger sweet potatoes.
If space is an issue, consider growing vines vertically up a trellis to allow sunlight to reach the leaves and produce larger sweet potatoes.
5. Water deeply and regularly
Deep watering is crucial for sweet potatoes during hot dry periods. Let soil dry out somewhat between waterings.
6. Harvest sweet potatoes at the right time
Here are a few things to look for before harvesting sweet potatoes:
- Sweet potatoes are ready to harvest between 90-120 days after planting
- Harvest when tubers are at least 3 inches in diameter
- Harvest sweet potatoes before the first fall frost
- Usually sweet potatoes are ready to harvest when the leaves and vines begin turning yellow
7. Harvest sweet potatoes correctly
Once you have decided to harvest the sweet potatoes, cut back vines and loosen soil around the plant with a spade fork. Carefully find the primary crown of each plant, and use your hands to dig up the tubers. Shake off any excess dirt, and handle tubers carefully to prevent bruising.
8. Cure sweet potatoes before storing
To cure sweet potatoes, set potatoes in a single layer (not touching) in a warm (about 80℉) dark area for 10-14 days. Curing allows cuts and bruises to heal. After curing, throw out or immediately use any bruised potatoes. Store cured sweet potatoes in a cool (about 55-65℉) dark area for up to 6 months.

Tired of marching up Cashtown Pike and running into the same old Union cavalry? Tired of Ewell always coming in on the same old flank and scattering the XIth Corps? Does it drive you mad to see, after all the Gettysburg games you've played, Sickles once again get his head handed to him? Just how many times does Pickett have to charge before we finally cry "Enough!"
Well, Rick Barber is tired of it. That's why he designed Summer Storm: The Battle of Gettysburg. Actually two games in one Summer Storm begins at the operational level with a unique double-blind game covering the approach marches of Meade's Army of the Potomac and Lee's Army of northern Virginia. Sure, there'll be fightin' aplenty at Gettysburg, but how these armies arive and from what direction is up to you (within historical parameters, of course). Thus, no two playings will ever be the same. For the first time cavalry play the role for which they were intended. Will you allow Stuart to deprice you of your eyes and ears? Can you even stop this from happening?
Troops don't actually deploy on the battlefield (the tactical maps) until you see the enemy, or blunder into them, as was more often the case.
The second game starts on the tactical maps. Divisions break sown into brigades, brigades into from one to three counters, depending on their raw numbers. A unique command system virtually removes book-keeping while at the same time rewards players for good gaming and strategy. Movement and combat are extremely smooth.

Following on from the tribalistic techy footsteps of ONYVA's "Tibetan People" single back in March, he brings about a remix package on his own imprint, ON IT Recordings featuring remixes from Barber, Funkagenda, Jey Kurmis, and Vibe Killers.

Here at EARMILK we're proud to be premiering the exuberant Barber Remix, which switches up the original, taking the bassline into funkier territory yet remaining tough, deep and techy. Some typical Barber flair is added for extra energy. British-born Barber now resides in Berlin and co-runs Faceless Recordings alongside Silky. He's had a string of well-received originals and remixes the past year on the likes of Suara, Cubism, ViVA Limited, Cr2, and of course his own Faceless Recordings and will no doubt cause plenty of heads to turn with this superb refix of "Tibetan People".
ONYVA, on the other hand, is a more mysterious character. Producing out of Manchester, a DJ of nearly 20 years, he's the owner of ON IT Recordings and has recently released excellent material on Phonetic Recordings too, as well as a handful or self-released remixes and bootlegs, that are seriously worth checking out if you like your house on the edge of tech and electro.

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Letting It Go (Drawn and Quarterly): When we last saw Miriam Katin, it was in the pages of her We Are On Our Own, her 2006 graphic memoir about how she and her mother survived the Holocaust, hiding out from the Nazis in the Hungarian countryside. Her new memoir continues that story, by skipping ahead to her current life as a middle-aged artist living in New York City and harboring the deep and bitter prejudices against a city, a country and a people that her childhood understandable instilled in her.
The subject matter is awfully heavy, but it’s presented quite lightly — this is a fun, funny comic about a grown woman coming to terms with the irrational prejudices and bias born of the irrational prejudice and biases of others.
When we meet the Miriam of Letting It Go, she and her husband are seemingly living an idyllic artistic life, he in a room playing his clarinet, she procrastinating starting to draw something. When her grown son says he wants to move to Berlin, she reacts negatively instinctively, and gradually comes to terms with it, visiting him in Berlin, and then returning a second time almost immediately in order to see some of her art hanging at a show there, learning the word vergangenheitsbewältigung (coming to terms with the past) and how to start doing it … if not how to pronounce it.
Katin’s graphic novel is border-less, the “panels” implied ones formed by the consecutive, often overlapping images, giving the artwork a winding, rhythmic flow that moves over the pages like water. That and the somewhat-sketchy nature of the art, in which you can see each and every line that goes into the drawings, gives the book an incredibly intimate feel, as if a reader has simply discovered Katin’s sketchbook, rather than something mass-produced.
What is it about childhood that makes us forget about ours so easily? Whether consciously or not, we seem all too eager to not only put our younger years behind us, but obliterate them from our memories. Even as parents we frequently grow exasperated and angry with our own children, seemingly incapable of remembering what it was like to be little.
While many cartoonists are cited for their “childlike” abilities, precious few are able to accurately convey what it actually feels like to be a child – what makes up the significant joys and anxieties of your average 12- or 6- or 3-year-old and how they best express those complicated emotions.
There are a few, however. Lynda Barry is one, Kazuo Umezu is another. Add to that short list Gilbert Hernandez, as evidenced by his latest book, the excellent Marble Season.
It’s the episodic story of Huey, a the middle child of a moderately sized family living in California in the mid-1960s. His adventures, such as they are, consist of avoiding scary things, like neighborhood bullies or the crazy lady in the spooky house down the road; discovering cool stuff, like Mars Attacks cards; and inventing and playing games with the kids in the neighborhood. Taking a page from Peanuts, we never see Huey’s parents or any of his teachers (indeed we never see him in a classroom). The entire book is staged and presented from the viewpoint of Huey, his brothers and their friends.

Hebrew Name: Eleh Ha-Devarim
Author: Moses (Chapters 1-33), Unknown (chapter 34)
OT or NT: Old Testament
Number of Chapters: 34
- Deuteronomy is the fifth book of the Bible.
- Deuteronomy is part of the “Pentateuch”: the first five books of the Bible including Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
- The Pentateuch is also referred to as the “Torah,” meaning “to guide or teach.”
- The book of Deuteronomy is named after two Greek terms: deuteros, meaning “second,” and nomos, meaning “law.”
- The Hebrew name for the book of Deuteronomy is Eleh Ha-Devarim, which means “a copy of this law.”
Story of the Book
The book of Deuteronomy is about God giving the law to Israel through Moses for the second time. The story of Deuteronomy begins with an address by Moses. First, he reminds the people of Israel of all the things God had done for them. Second, Moses communicates the law a second time. The law includes the following:
- The ten commandments
- A commandment to love God (known as the Shema)
- Laws concerning worship
- Laws for governing the nation
- Laws for interpersonal relationships
- Promises of blessing for obedience and warnings of punishment for disobedience
Third, Moses reminds the people of their commitment to God and renews their covenant commitment to the Lord. Fourth, Moses appoints Joshua to succeed him and to lead the people of Israel into the promised land. The book ends with a short addendum to the book which describes the death of Moses, along with a summary of the uniqueness of Moses’ ministry.
Jesus Foreshadowed in Deuteronomy
In Deuteronomy 18:18-19, God promises to raise up a prophet like Moses from among the people of Israel. God warned Israel to listen to this prophet, saying, “I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him.”
Later, in Acts 7:35-59, Stephen testifies before the Jewish leaders in the temple that this “prophet like Moses” is Jesus. When Stephen testified that Jesus is the prophet like Moses that God promised to send to Israel, the crown dragged Stephen outside the city of Jerusalem and stoned him to death. That day, Stephen became the first Christian martyr. Stephen died for his faith in Jesus, but not before confirming that this ancient prophecy in Deuteronomy was fulfilled in the person of Christ. Jesus Christ is the prophet like Moses who was to come.
There are many parallels between the life and ministry of Moses in the Pentateuch and the life and ministry of Jesus in the Gospels, each of which further cement the identity of Jesus as the prophet like Moses who was to come.

WILHELM HAUFF was born at Stuttgart, Nov. 29th, 1802. After having gone through the usual course of philological and theological studies at Tübingen, he accepted a place as tutor in a nobleman's family, spent a short time in travelling and then settled in his native town as editor of a literary magazine, the Morgenblatt, but died before he had completed his 25th year, Nov. 18th, 1827. His short life was indeed, as
a rich spring which had no autumn allowed it.” During the three years preceding his death he developed an extraordinary fertility. His works comprise poems, an historical novel, Lichtenstein, several shorter tales (Novellen), Märchen, and an excellent humorous story (Heyse calls it "a classic capriccio”), die Phantasien im Bremer Rathskeller. Hauff belongs to the so-called Romantic School. As a lyrical poet he does not occupy a prominent place; but two of his songs at all events, Steh ich in finsťrer Mitternacht and Morgenroth, are still known and sung all over Germany. His talent as a narrator is of a very high order. Without being distinguished by great originality-Lichtenstein, for instance, is confessedly an imitation of Walter Scott's historical
