ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY
The St. Lawrence Seaway is indeed a mighty project, not only a scheme for navigation to the Great Lakes, but a great Power project as well. The Long Sault dam, which is on United States territory, is a vital part of the power scheme on the International Rapids section of the river. The Province of Ontario and the State of New York will eventually share the responsibility for over two million horse power of electric energy.

Open for Business: Updates from OregonSaves and the Washington State Retirement Marketplace
Longer lifespans and the changing nature of work and retirement demand new, innovative ways to save and manage income before and through retirement. States have been driving change by creating public-private partnerships to expand access to retirement savings options for private-sector workers.
In the Northwest, two states — Oregon and Washington — are among the first in the nation to open new retirement savings programs. On March 19, 2018, Washington State launched its new retirement marketplace, joining Oregon’s auto-IRA program, OregonSaves, which launched in late 2017.
During this one-hour webinar, the Georgetown Center for Retirement Initiatives introduced the Washington retirement marketplace and heard from the two firms that were the first to offer IRAs and 401ks to individuals and employers through the program. In addition, OregonSaves provided an update on the program’s adoption by employers and participation by employees. Furthermore, an Oregon small business discussed how it is making the most of the simplicity and accessibility of this new program to help its workers save for retirement.
Our presenters:
Tobias Read, Treasurer, State of Oregon
Lisa Massena, Executive Director, OregonSaves
Hiram Towle, General Manager, Mt. Ashland Ski Area, Ashland, Oregon
Carolyn McKinnon, Director, Washington State Retirement Marketplace
Carlos Armando Garcia, Founder & CEO, Finhabits
Kalen Hanna, Employer Services Manager, Saturna Trust Company
Moderator: Angela M. Antonelli, Research Professor and Executive Director, Center for Retirement Initiatives, Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy

Youth/Police Conference: How it Makes Me Feel—Police
Every day we put police officers in what often feels like an impossible situation: Get gangs, guns, and drugs off our streets. Keep us safe from violence. At the same time, there is widespread criticism of the practice of stopping and searching Black youth as a crime-fighting tactic. How do police experience this apparent catch 22? How do youth/police encounters impact law enforcement?

Blood libel | Wikipedia audio article
This is an audio version of the Wikipedia Article:
Blood libel
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Blood libel (also blood accusation) is an antisemitic canard accusing Jews of kidnapping and murdering the children of Christians in order to use their blood as part of religious rituals. Historically, these claims—alongside those of well poisoning and host desecration—have been a major theme of the persecution of Jews in Europe.Blood libels typically say that Jews require human blood for the baking of matzos for Passover, although this element was allegedly absent in the earliest cases which claimed that then-contemporary Jews reenacted the crucifixion. The accusations often assert that the blood of the children of Christians is especially coveted, and, historically, blood libel claims have been made in order to account for the otherwise unexplained deaths of children. In some cases, the alleged victim of human sacrifice has become venerated as a martyr, a holy figure around whom a martyr sect might arise. Three of these – William of Norwich, Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln, and Simon of Trent – became objects of local sects and veneration, and in some cases they were added to the General Roman Calendar. One, Gavriil Belostoksky, was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church.
In Jewish lore, blood libels were the impetus for the creation of the Golem of Prague by Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel in the 16th century. According to Walter Laqueur:
Altogether, there have been about 150 recorded cases of blood libel (not to mention thousands of rumors) that resulted in the arrest and killing of Jews throughout history, most of them in the Middle Ages. In almost every case, Jews were murdered, sometimes by a mob, sometimes following torture and a trial.
The term 'blood libel' can also refer to any unpleasant and damaging false accusation, and it has taken on a broader metaphorical meaning. However, this usage remains controversial and it has been protested against by Jewish groups.
