As an age group teens receive the least financial support from government, philanthropic and non-profit agencies. Books for Teens seeks to reverse this trend by raising funds to help teens have a brighter future. Funds raised through Books for Teens will be distrib- uted to libraries in communities with a high level of poverty, where teen services librarians will purchase and distribute new books, encourage teens to get library cards and provide teens with reading-focused events and activities. Books for Teens is an initiative from the Young Adult Library Services Association, a division of the American Library Associa- tion (ALA).

SOME ENTHUSIASTIC APPRECIATIONS DIFFICULT TASK PERFORMED WITH CONSUMMATE SKILL "Graetz's 'Geschichte der Juden1 has superseded all former works of its kind, and has been translated into English, Russian and Hebrew, and partly into Yiddish and French. That some of these translations have been edited three or four times—a very rare occurrence in Jewish literature—are in themselves proofs of the worth of the work. The material for Jewish history being so varied, the sources so scattered in the literatures of all nations, made the presentation of this history a very difficult undertaking, and it cannot be denied that Graetz performed his task with consummate skill."—The Jewish Encyclopedia. GREATEST AUTHORITY ON SUBJECT "Professor Graetz is the historiographer par excellence of the Jews. His work, at present the authority upon the subject of Jewish History, bids fair to hold its pre-eminent position for some time, perhaps decades."—Preface to Index Volume. MOST DESIRABLE TEXT-BOOK "If one desires to study the history of the Jewish people under the direction of a scholar and pleasant writer who is in sympathy with his subject, because he is himself a Jew, he should resort to the volumes of Graetz."—"Review ofRevitvit (New York).

Such are the terms of the loan agreement between the borrower, Antonio, and the lender, Shylock. Much of the story and plot is a light romantic comedy as wealthy heiress Portia gets wooed by suitors and tries to help Bassanio become the winner. But it’s the plot about the loan that sets the stage for perhaps William Shakespeare’s most controversial play with its character of Shylock, a Jewish moneylender who chooses revenge over money. This negative stereotype has been perpetuated for a thousand years in Christian culture. For centuries the European governments forbade Christians to charge interest for the lending of money, so only non-Christians could fill that economic need. But when loans couldn’t be repaid, it was easier to blame the minority Jewish moneylender than the Christian. Such blame was a common theme in tales from the time period. Shakespeare’s use of it is more ambiguous than his contemporaries. Shylock stood apart from most other portrayals both in the depth of his character, and in his condemnation of hypocritical Christians who borrowed with one hand while striking blows with the other. In Merchant, Antonio is the pompous Christian businessman who has spat, kicked, and verbally disparaged Shylock, yet still expects him to lend him more money despite having no collateral.

  • Observations Onboard the Titanic
    OBSERVATIONS ONBOARD THE TITANIC www.oldepaths.com OBSERVATIONS ONBOARD THE TITANIC While there are many things that Belfast has been famous for in her long and rich history, the craft of shipbuilding has probably headed that list. Out of all the vessels that have slid down the slipways in Belfast, the most famous was undoubtedly the R.M.S. Titanic. This was of course due to what occurred on that fateful night 14th April 1912 when she sank on her maiden voyage. The sinking of the Titanic is one of those events in history that even though it happened over a hundred years ago, it is still much talked about and debated to this day. The reason for this is that the tragic story of the Titanic is an event that stands out from all the rest as a landmark event. Not just was this a tragic event that generated great sadness, but one that was a great surprise. It was inconceivable that such a thing could ever happen. The sure horror of the sinking was what made it stand out, not unlike the horrific events that unfolded on 9/11 of this generation. In order to relate to the impact that the news of the sinking of the Titanic brought we should think of the events on 9/11 when we watched the live television footage; this is of similar magnitude to what the world witnessed as news of the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic “sunk” in. The Titanic, along with 2,224 passengers and crew (the exact number is actually disputed as some who had booked to travel failed to turn up and there were believed to be a WWW.OLDEPATHS.COMWWW Page 2 OBSERVATIONS ONBOARD THE TITANIC number of stowaways), left Southampton with 75,000 pounds of flesh-meat, 40,000 eggs, 1,500 gallons of fresh milk and 40 tons of potatoes.
