cal evidences as that we have laid before our readers, and his deduction from them was not less pointed and forceable than that we may now arrive at.
We have now fairly brought our investigation up to the period of Columbus's discovery, when the ordinary histories of America commence. Many further proofs of our theory might be derived from a critical examination of the characters of the nations and languages subsisting in America in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. As it is impossible, however, to do justice to this branch of the subject in our contracted limits, we must postpone it altogether to a more suitable occasion.
The preceding argument is mainly confirmed by Mr. Beamish's excellent treatise cited at the head of this article. This opportune publication does much credit to its author's antiquarian judgment and scholastic ability. We cannot better introduce it to the notice of our readers, so as to give them a just idea of its style and contents, than by quoting a portion of the author's preface, and letting him tell his own tale.
My design (says Mr. Beamish) is to put before the public, in a cheap and compendious form, those parts of Professor Rafn's work which I consider most likely to prove interesting to British readers, the greater part of whom, from the extent and language of the original publication, must necessarily be debarred from its perusal. The translations of the Sagas, and other Icelandic manuscripts, which embrace the whole detail of the discoveries and settlements in America, are made substantially from the Danish version, of the correctness of which, coming from the pen of the learned editor, there can be no doubt. But, in some cases, where the style of this version appeared to the translator to depart too much from the quaint and simple phraseology of the original, the Icelandic text has been specially referred to, and an effort has been made throughout to give to the English narrative the homely and unpretending character of the Icelandic Saga. In all cases where it was thought possible that doubts might arise, or where it was considered necessary to impress some particular fact or statement on the mind of the reader, the original Icelandic word or expression is given ; and free use has been made of the copious and lucid notes and commentaries of the learned editor, to explain and illustrate the various etymological, historical, and geographical points which call for observation. As an appropriate introduction to the whole, is prefixed a sketch of the rise, eminence, and extinction of Icelandic historical literature, founded upon the able Danish essay of Dr. Erasmus Muller, bishop of Zealand.
" The eminent historian Dr. Robertson, appears to have been totally unacquainted with the early voyages of the Northmen to the western hemisphere ; and hence it is presumed, that the present summary of their discoveries may be received as an acceptable introduction to his celebrated History of America,
" The incidental allusions to the voyages and settlements of the Irish, which are contained in the minor narratives, are more likely to excite than satisfy enquiry. Much still remains to be unravelled in this interesting topic, and it is to be regretted that no competent hands have yet been applied to this neglected portion of Irish history. It has been too much the practice to decry as fabulous, all statements claiming for the earlier inhabitants of Ireland a comparatively high degree of advancement and civilization. And, notwithstanding the many valuable publications connected with the history and antiquities of that country, which have from time to time come forth, and the more recent candid, learned, and eloquent production of Mr. Moore, there are not wanting, even among her sons, those who, with the anti-Irish feeling of the bigoted Cambrensis, would sink Ireland in the scale of national distinction, and deny her claims to that early eminence in religion, learning, and the arts, which unquestionable records so fully testify ; and yet a very little unprejudiced enquiry will be sufficient to satisfy the candid mind, that Erin had good claims to be called the school of the west, and her sons
* Inclyta gens hominum, milite, pace, fide.' " Thus much, at least, will the following pages clearly show, that sixty-five years previous to the discovery of Iceland by the Northmen in the ninth century, Irish emigrants had visited and inhabited that island. That about the year 725, Irish ecclesiastics had sought seclusion upon the Faroe Islands; that in the tenth century, voyages between Iceland and Ireland were of ordinary occurrence, and that in the eleventh century, a country west from Ireland, and south of that part of the American continent which was discovered by the adventurous Northmen in the preceding age, was known to them under the name of White-man's Land, or Great Ireland."
Mr. Beamish's book, comprising as it does masterly translations of the original Sagas, will be very properly considered the text book on this subject to British readers in general. It will probably lead the way to many historical disquisitions on these topics, if not to many novels and romances, in which the bold heroism and gallantry of the Norse adventurers will be portrayed in their most dramatic and poetic light. They afford singularly striking specimens, scarcely less impressive than Homer's own delineations—of man in the might of manhood,-physical, animal manhood,—daring for the pleasure of daring, -fearing but the name of fear, -rejoicing in the arduous,-lured on by the perilous,-believing the almost incredible--and achieving the almost impossible; they present us with a phase of human nature and human progress, admirably calculated for the boldest triumphs of fiction.
The limits of this article will not permit us to quote from the pages of Mr. Beamish the original Sagas; for these we must refer our readers to the work itself. But we shall endeavour to strengthen some of our preceding positions by his weighty authority. The view we have taken of the merit of the Northmen, as compared to that of Columbus, may appear novel and unfair ; but, without any wish to depreciate the glory of a justly-celebrated man, we recommend the following argument of Mr. Beamish as well deserving attention.
" It may, perhaps (says he), be urged in disparagement of these discoveries of the Northmen, that they were accidental—that Bjarni Herjulfson set out in search of Greenland, and fell in with the eastern coast of North America,—but so it was also with Columbus. The sanguine and skilful Genoese traveller set sail in the quest of Asia, and discovered the West Indies. And even when, in his last voyage, he reached the eastern shore of central America, he still believed it to be Asia, and continued under that impression to the day of his death. Besides, how different were the circumstances under which the two voyages were made! The Northmen, without compass or quadrant,—without any of the advantages of science, geographical knowledge, or personal experience, without the support of either kings or governments, but guided by the stars, and upheld by their own private resources, and a spirit of adventure which no dangers could deter, cross the broad ocean, and explore these distant lands. Columbus, on the other hand, went forth with all the advantages of that grand career of modern discovery, which had been commenced in the preceding century, and which, under Prince Henry of Portugal, had been pushed forward to an eminent position in the period immediately preceding his first voyage.
" The compass had been discovered and brought into general use, maps and charts had been constructed, astronoinical and geographical science had become more diffused, and the discoveries of the African coast, from Cape Blanco, to Cape de Verde, together with the Cape de Verde and Azore Islands, had produced a general excitement among those who were in any way connected with a maritime life, and filled their minds with brilliant images of fairer islands and more wealthy shores amid the boundless waters of the Atlantic. It should also be recollected that Columbus, ever ready to gather information from veteran mariners, had heard of land seen far to the west of Ireland, and of the Island of Madeira,—had been
assured that four hundred and fifty leagues east of Cape St. Vincent carved wood, not cut with iron instruments, had been found in the sea, and that a similar fragment, together with reeds of an immense size, had drifted to Porto Santo from the west. Added to this was the fact of huge pine trees of unknown species having been wafted by westerly winds to the Azores, and human bodies of wondrous form and feature cast upon the island of Flores. Nor should it be forgotten that Columbus visited Iceland in 1477, when having had access to the archives of the island and ample opportunity of conversing with the learned there, through the medium of the Latin language, he might easily have obtained a complete knowledge of the discoveries of the Northmen, sufficient at least to confirm his belief in the existence of a western continent."
Towards the end of his valuable volume, Mr. Beamish pleads with great fervour and force, that the ancient Irish had no small share in the discoveries of America, particularly that portion of it called by the name of Great Ireland. As this plea may be interesting to our readers in the sister isle, we quote a portion of it.
" From what cause, says Mr. Beamish, could the name of Great Ireland have arisen, but from the fact of the country having been colonized by the Irish ? Coming from their own green island to a vast continent, possessing many of the fertile qualities of their native soil, the appellation would have been natural and appropriate ; and costume, colour, or peculiar habits, might readily have given rise to the country being denominated White Man's Land, by the neighbouring Esquimaux. Nor does this conclusion involve any improbability. We have seen that the Irish visited and inhabited Iceland towards the close of the eighth century; to have accomplished which, they must have traversed a strong ocean to the extent of about eight hundred miles. A hundred years before the time of Dicuil, namely, in the year 725, they had been found upon the Faroe Islands. In the tenth century voyages between Ireland and Iceland were of ordinary occurrence. And in the beginning of the eleventh century, White Man's Land, or Great Ireland, is mentioned not as a newly discovered country, but as a land long known by name to the Northmen. Neither the Icelandic historians, nor navigators, were in the least degree interested in originating or giving currency to any fable respecting an Irish settlement on the southern shores of North America, for they set up no claim to the discovery of that part of the western continent, their interest being limited to the coast north of Chesapeake Bay. The discoveries of Vinland, and Great Ireland, appear to have been totally independant of each other. The latter is only incidentally alluded to by the northern navigators. With the name they were familiar, but of the peculiar locality of the country they were ignorant ; nor was it till after the
VOL. XI.-NO. XXI.
return of the Karlsefne from Vinland in 1011, and the information which he obtained from the Skrælings or Esquimaux, who were captured during the voyage, that the Northmen became convinced that White Man's Land, or Great Ireland, was a part of the same vast continent of which Helluland, Markland, and Vinland, formed portions."
We must not allow ourselves the license of quoting those interesting statements of historical facts, by which Mr. Beamish seeks to confirm his view of the carly settlement of the Irish in America.
One short paragraph, however, is too important to be omitted, as it opens up a brilliant field of antiquarian discovery.
" A further examination (says he) of the Icelandic annals, may possibly throw more light on this interesting question, and tend to unravel the mystery in which the original inhabitants of America are involved. Lord Kingsborough's splendid publication in 1829, first brought to the notice of the British public the striking similitude between Mexican and Egyptian monuments. The ruins of Palenque, Guatemala, and Yucatan, rivalling the pyramids of Egypt, or the ruins of Palmyra, were only known to a few hunters, till the end of the eighteenth century, and modern travellers are still engaged in bringing the hidden wonders of this and other regions of the vast American continent to the knowledge of the literary world."— Vide Waldeck's Voyage Pittoresque et Archéologique dans la Province d' Yucatan, Amérique Centrale.
The last publication mentioned at the head of this article, namely, Mr. Smith's treatise on the discovery of America by the Northmen, was, we believe, an American work, reprinted in London, and now nearly out of print. Though not equal in merit to Mr. Beamish's composition, it is a very respectable and readable volume. The information of the author on the subject on which he treats, is thrown into the form of dialogues, to which are added three disquisitions. This work like the former, strongly confirms the theory of successive discoveries; but there is nothing sufficiently remarkable to require further notice.
We trust, that in the course of this extensive article, we have done our subject the justice its importance demands. We have endeavoured to illustrate every link in the chain of historical evidences, and have wilfully avoided no difficulty, but resolutely grappled with the apparent anomalies which have perplexed our predecessors.

The mission of Ujamaa Place is to assist young African American men primarily between the ages of 18 and 30, who are economically disadvantaged and have experienced repeated cycles of failure. This mission statement is rooted in the philosophy of African American culture and empowerment – that everyone is important, valuable, worthy, and loveable.
Ujamaa Place is an organization focused on young African American men in Saint Paul (primarily between the ages of 18 and 30), many of whom suffer multiple barriers to becoming stable, productive members of the community. These barriers include being undereducated, unemployed and/or unemployable, affiliated with gangs, a criminal history, homelessness, drug use, and a general marginalization by greater society.
In 2009, a group of leaders in the St. Paul African American community, including then St. Paul Police Chief John Harrington [rt.], Executive Director of the St. Paul YWCA Billy Collins, then St. Paul City Council Member Melvin Carter III, Thad Wilderson M.A. Ed. LP, Mary K. Boyd from St. Paul Public Schools, the NAACP, and several members of the Black Ministerial Alliance and the Council on Black Minnesotans identified that programming for this population was a significant gap in the social service delivery system in St. Paul, and needed immediate attention. Without intervention from a program like Ujamaa Place, this will be a "lost generation" of young men who die at a young age or are incarcerated for most of their lives.
After several months engaging additional key community leaders in development and planning for the organization, and securing early start-up funding from The Saint Paul Foundation and F.R. Bigelow Foundation, Ujamaa Place received 501(c)(3) nonprofit status in April 2010, and opened its doors at 1885 University Avenue in St. Paul in January 2011.
Ujamaa Place Board member David Martin, provides an eloquent welcome and description of the organization during the "2014 Ask Breakfast" keynoted by Shawn Dove, Black Male Achievement Campaign. Martin shares who and what Ujamaa Place is to it's program participants, and why continued support of this organization is imperative.
Minnesota State Representative (District 65-A) Rena Moran shares her personal experience and testimony regarding the power of Ujamaa Place programming, and bares witness to transformation of the men served.

Renault, Europe's electric carsharing leader
Tags : Day to day Shared mobility
As a solution for a future that is facing major ecological challenges, and especially as one offering services powered by electricity, carsharing has the wind in its sails. A pioneer and European leader, Groupe Renault is moving up a gear this autumn in many European countries.
Sharing the use of goods that are no longer necessary to individually own. Optimising the management of a company fleet. Reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. Contributing to a better quality of life in cities. In the face of society's evolution and environmental issues, carsharing has emerged as a mobility solution in its own right. And electric vehicles are first in line to take part in the growing enthusiasm for a more "gentle" kind of mobility.
Station-based, point-to-point or free-floating: a form of carsharing for every need
As the number 1 provider of electric vehicles in Europe, Renault is deeply involved in this movement. Its electric vehicles are designed to be "car-shared". Whether through the Group's own solutions, such as "Renault Mobility" in France, or in partnership with other operators in different countries, Renault electric vehicles can be shared safely: each model's connectivity is compatible with the added connectivity necessary for each carsharing solution, without any risk of interference between the two.
Renault's electric vehicles can be adapted to suit all different kinds of carsharing services, which can be organised into 2 categories.
The first is the "traditional" form of carsharing: the user picks up the vehicle at a rental station; they then return it to the same location (station-based carsharing), or to another station (point-to-point carsharing).
In 2016, Renault launched its own "traditional" connected carsharing service. Accessible in many cities in France, Renault Mobility self-service vehicles are available 24/7, with the rental duration starting at 1 hour. What is the main advantage of this type of short-term rentals service? Everything works through your phone's app. No key needs to be picked up from a service counter whose hours you have to check beforehand.
The second type is free-floating carsharing, a term signifying its lack of limits and rental stations. Through a dedicated application, the user is able to geolocate a vehicle from their smartphone, take possession of it at its current location, and then drop it off wherever they desire, within a given area (and in a legal parking space, of course). Recharging, cleaning, insurance, parking after the drop-off… Everything is included in the cost of the service. This type of carsharing, offered by different operators in several countries, is particularly well adapted to cities: the density of the infrastructure means that a user is easily within 300m of a vehicle.
Carsharing at every scale
From the city-level to that of an individual building, and in both urban and rural areas, Renault is developing electric carsharing across Europe at every scale.
In several collective residential buildings, notably in Denmark, carsharing ZOEs have been made available to residents. The mobility service is coupled with housing.
In Utrecht, in the Netherlands, 150 ZOEs have been car-shared within an ecodistrict since the end of 2017, as part of a service called We Drive Solar. What makes them unique is that they are powered by solar energy produced locally through solar panels adorning the roofs of the neighbourhood.
On Belle-Île, Renault has joined forces with Morbihan Energy as part of a vast program to reinforce renewable energy sources, with the provision of self-service ZOEs and Kangoo Z.E.s as one of its tenets.
In the fjords of Norway, in Italy and as far as South America, Renault electric vehicles have been made available to tourists to promote a form of mobility and tourism that respects the local heritage and the environment.
Many companies also have a fleet of electric vehicles shared among employees, to facilitate their business travel, especially between sites.
And why not use carsharing to go shopping? Renault and Ikea France have developed a self-service car rental offer, which will consist entirely of Kangoo Z.E. and ZOE vehicles by 2020.
Finally, in cities, many carsharing services use Renault vehicles, such as: Green Mobility in Copenhagen, Denmark (400 ZOEs in circulation since 2016), Totem Mobi, in Marseille and Montpellier in France (200 Twizys), and Zity in Madrid, Spain (500 ZOEs as part of the partnership between Renault and Ferrovial Servicios).
Paris, Bologna and Stockholm
Starting this autumn, the pace is picking up as other large cities join the movement. On October 10th, Renault and ADA launched Moov'in.Paris, with a self-service fleet of 100 Renault ZOEs in the French capital, soon to be increased to 200 ZOEs and 20 Twizys, then to 500 vehicles by the end of the year.
On October 27th, the Corrente service was launched in Bologna in partnership with public service provider Tper: 120 ZOEs have been made available, a number that should double by Easter 2019.
And on October 31st, a fleet of 300 ZOEs was deployed in Stockholm, a stock managed by Aimo.
In neighbouring Norway, the NSB group selected the Renault ZOE for its carsharing project. That agreement is one of Renault's most critical in the land of fjords. NSB has also signed a franchise agreement with the Danish company Green Mobility. In total, about 300 ZOEs will be deployed in the city of Oslo – just to name a few examples!
In total, at the end of 2018, 5,000 Renault electric vehicles will be available for carsharing across Europe. That means 5,000 opportunities for the general public to warm up to driving electric and gently adapt to the transition towards a new form of mobility.

I was acquainted with the Wynnton space solely as a result of my pricey mom beloved to take my siblings and I to the Bradley Library, which was positioned in that space of city. The grounds are beautiful, as I remember, filled with countless azalea bushes, pine timber and dogwood bushes which all present as a floral wonderment throughout Spring. In addition to that, my mother liked to take all of us children to the totally different parks around my home town, including an attractive one positioned right within the heart of the Wynnton space. I used to be a younger child then, however still remember loving to go there, as there was much shade from the attractive Oak trees, swing units and picnic tables. Many people enjoyed jogging around that park for its peaceable and wonderful setting. I point out this truth in regards to the jogging for a specific cause as you will word later.

After nearly a month-long battle, at times vicious, Bihar has made its decision.
Derailing the strong opposition juggernaut powered by Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself, Nitish Kumar rode home to victory with allies Lalu Prasad Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Congress.
The loss comes a strong blow to the BJP, especially party president Amit Shah who had been confident of the lotus blooming in Bihar.
The first nail in BJP's cofin was struck by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagvat, who in an interview to The Organiser, said that reservations have been for years used as a political tool and suggested that a "non-political" committee be set up to examine who needs the benefit of reservation and for how long.
The opposition, especially Lalu, latched on to the remarks and used it to rally the support of the backward castes who draw benefits from affirmative action. Even though the BJP later clarified that it very firmly supported the constitutional reservation for the SC, ST, OBC, Backwards and Extremely Backwards classes, the damage had already been done.
One of the biggest reasons why the BJP failed to connect with the electorate was perhaps the lack of a face. All along, the BJP made the campaign a fight between Narendra Modi and the Mahagathbandhan of Nitish, Lalu and the Congress.
The party refused to project a chief ministerial candidate, fearing of a caste backlash. However, there its list of potential leaders for the CM post kept swelling. Congressman Mani Shankar Aiyar summed it this way: "In a state election, you need state leaders. You need local faces to win elections in states. State face is very important. By fielding a wrong face, that too Prime Minister Narendra Modi, they lost it."
Did the BJP dare to question the 'Bihari DNA' and hope to get away with it? Nitish Kumar effectively snatched the initiative from the BJP's campaign when he went hammer and tongs over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks about his DNA during his first rally in Muzaffarpur on July 25. Bihar BJP leader Sushil Modi went a step further and said that it is 'ridiculous that Nitish Kumar who has betrayal and arrogance in his DNA is trying to epitomise himself as Bihar'.
Nitish used the DNA issue to the hilt, even arranging to send over 25 lakh DNA samples to the Prime Minister's Office. He repeatedly kept the issue alive, even speaking on it on the last day of campaigning for the five and final phase of polling. It seems Nitish's strategy to pull off the Bihari asmita sentiment has paid dividends.
All through his campaign schedule, Modi maintained a stoic silence over the rising instances of intolerance in the country. While he fleetingly delved on the Dadri killing issue during one of his speeches, he remained mum on the utterances of his party leaders.
The issue of intolerance dominated the national debate during the five-phase elections in Bihar with a large number of artists, writers and others returning their awards to protest against what they called an 'atmosphere of rising intolerance' in the country. This could have led many fence-sitters, who would have otherwise voted for the BJP based on its development agenda, decided to switch loyalties.
The biggest factor, perhaps, why the lotus couldn't bloom in Bihar is the Mahagathbandhan itself. The alliance of two of the biggest parties in the state acted as a wall that kept the 'Modi wave' from sweeping through the state.
The grand alliance withstood the turmoil within over seat sharing that saw Mulayam Singh Yadav's Samajwadi Party walking out. Together, the 'secular' alliance negated the impact Modi may have had on the electorate. The next question though is inevitable -- Can the Mahagathbandhan stick together for five years?
Why 'Modi wave' failed to resonate Bihar?

House defeats bill extending Patriot Act provisions until December
CNN Congressional Producer Deirdre Walsh
WASHINGTON (CNN) - A bill to extend three provisions of the Patriot Act and Intelligence Reform bill that are due to expire next month failed to win approval Tuesday from the U.S. House of Representatives.
The House voted 277-148 in favor of the bill, which fell short of the 284 votes needed to pass, because it was considered under a House rule that required a two-thirds majority.
In the vote, 26 Republicans joined 122 Democrats in opposing the bill that would have extended the provisions through December 8, 2011.

Q: How do I 'force' structs to implement the same traits? I have the following:
pub struct OpBStruct {
    title: String,
    output_vale: i32,
}

impl OpBStruct {
    pub fn new_OpB(in_title: String, in_output_vale: i32) -> OpBStruct {
        OpBStruct {
            title: in_title,
            output_vale: in_output_vale,
        }
    }
}

pub struct OpCStruct {
    title: String,
    another_value: String,
    output_vale: i32,
}

impl OpCStruct {
    pub fn new_OpC(in_title: String, in_another_value: String, in_output_vale: i32) -> OpCStruct {
        OpCStruct {
            title: in_title,
            another_value: in_another_value,
            output_vale: in_output_vale,
        }
    }
}

impl A {
    pub fn new_A(in_name: String, in_operator: Op) -> A {
        A {
            name: in_name,
            operator: in_operator,
        }
    }
}

pub enum Op {
    OpB(OpBStruct),
    OpC(OpCStruct),
}

pub struct A {
    name: String,
    operator: Op,
}

impl A {
    pub fn new_A(in_name: String, in_operator: Op) -> A {
        A {
            name: in_name,
            operator: in_operator,
        }
    }
}

The exact structure of OpBStruct and OpCStruct are arbitrary and could be anything.
How do I make sure OpBStruct and OpCStruct implement a certain trait?
trait OpTrait {
    pub fn get_op_output(&self) -> i32;
}

I thought about making a sort of constructor function that checked for an OpTrait trait requirement and it would be the only way one could create an Op instance, but each operator requires different initialization parameters and there's no way to specify a variable number of inputs for a function in Rust.
Something like this doesn't work because there's no way to input the initialization parameters:
pub fn new_op<T: OpTrait>(operator: T) {
    //  --snip--
}

I thought about somehow using the new_A method implemented on A to check if the in_operator has implemented the trait, but I'm not sure how to do that either.
What is the correct pattern for this? If there is none, I can just implement the trait for each Op with no sort of interface around it.

A: I would also recommend writing a test, however you can write a function which is generic over a type but takes no arguments:
struct X {}

trait Y {
    fn yo();
}

fn is_y<T: Y>(){}

Then you can add the following line to do the check
is_y::<X>();

which will compile only if X implements Y.

A: Using a unit test would be a fairly straightforward way to enforce that you want a given trait on a struct. You can do it via implicit test code, but a small utility function to do so can express the intent a little more clearly.
If you have indicated trait inputs on functions in the rest of the code, it might come out fairly naturally without the unit test. The test has the advantage of letting you have an opportunity to explicitly check some invariant of the trait implementation too.
struct A {
    val: u8,
}

struct B {
    val: u32,
}

trait ExpandToU64 {
    fn to_u64(&self) -> u64;
}

impl ExpandToU64 for A {
    fn to_u64(&self) -> u64
    {
        self.val as u64
    }
}

fn trait_tester<E>(a: E)
    where E: ExpandToU64
{
    // the utility function doesn't have to even use the trait...
    // but you probably want to exercise the logic a bit
    //let v = a.to_u64();
    let v = 24u64;
    println!("{:?}", v);
}

#[test]
fn test_needs_trait_ExpandToU64() {
    let a = A { val:1 };
    trait_tester(a);

    let b = B { val:2 };
    trait_tester(b);
    // This fails with a compile error
    //  "the trait `ExpandToU64` is not implemented for `B`"
}

Read Our CEO Daniel S. Mariaschin's speech from our 175th Anniversary Gala on October 15, 2018 in New York City Below:
United in celebration of our landmark anniversary, in the city where our organization was founded, we take pride in the forward-thinking vision that has shaped its mission from its inception. Who were the men whose understanding of the world determined the way that B'nai B'rith would introduce the concept of social responsibility in a time of change? How can we picture a New York that existed in 1843, an alien land in the decades before the great waves of Jewish immigration from Russia and Eastern Europe gave this place the distinctive persona with which we identify it today? We have learned this about Henry Jones and his colleagues: these recent German arrivals intended their society of brothers to impose cohesion and order on the troubled, unruly Jewish community, fragmented in terms of beliefs, ritual and customs, and struggling to adjust in myriad ways. They would band together as lodge members, they would mentor one another to succeed—in everything from learning English to providing a future for their loved ones—while applying Judaism's moral principles to everyday life. Judging from the Sons of the Covenant's rapid expansion during the next two decades, B'nai B'rith fulfilled a need for which thousands hungered. We do our best to convey a snapshot of the era.
In 1843, as the rise of industry led to the gradual dissolution of rural, agrarian society, mounting anger and frustration borne out of poverty and famine, would trigger an unraveling, occurring five years later, as revolutions ignited the continent and ushered in modern times. Calling for new democratic systems of government, Europeans were brought to the brink, their demands for a decent quality of life signaled a new way of experiencing the world. Certainly, a more personal art—engaging the emotions -- would flourish at this time, and it was in 1843 that Dickens, Delacroix, Verdi, Mendelssohn and, in America, Poe, produced some of their greatest works. For Jews, change was significant: as ghetto walls crumbled, the influence of the outside world would irrevocably alter their insular existence.
Already bustling, New York was home to one of the world's busiest ports, while the restless impulse to venture beyond the known, defined American identity. The first stirrings of protest against the institution of slavery were beginning to reverberate in all regions. It was in 1843 that pioneers first traveled west by wagon train from Missouri…and in the next two decades, so did B'nai B'rith, where lodges were to thrive even in the rough and ready mining enclaves of California, Nevada, and Colorado. Continuing to insure our families, we expanded our mission as now-affluent members demonstrated their civic pride by supporting libraries, orphanages, and hospitals, while monies raised for humanitarian assistance helped people of all faiths during floods, earthquakes, fires and epidemics. By the end of the 19th century, those who joined the Order, as it was called, were among the nation's most distinguished citizens. Rabbi Isaac Meyer Wise, the father of American Reform Judaism, founded Cincinnati's Hebrew Union College. Ulysses Grant appointed B'nai B'rith president B.F. Peixotto as consul to Romania, where his efforts improved life for its brutalized Jewish populace. A lawyer and journalist, Peixotto was the first editor of B'nai B'rith's magazine, continuously published since 1887. Maintaining friendships with presidents from Lincoln and Grant to Theodore Roosevelt and Wilson, B'nai B'rith leader Simon Wolf spoke for Jewish interests in Washington. Ohio senator Judge Alfred P. Cohen, Dr. Wise's student and the son of one of B'nai B'rith's first members, crusaded for equal rights for Jews and African Americans. He served as B'nai B'rith's president from 1925 through 1937.
Addressing new issues, B'nai B'rith offered language and "Americanization" classes to Eastern European immigrants in 1900, brought social workers to the tenements and prisons, and supported industrial schools in New York and Philadelphia. Justifying its reputation as "The Great Incubator," the organization renamed "B'nai B'rith International" would initiate the Anti-Defamation League, dedicated to educating both Jews and Christians about ways in which crass stereotypes fomented prejudice, and push back against pressure to assimilate or convert by connecting high school and college students with their heritage at the AZA, and Hillel, later united under the umbrella "B'nai B'rith Youth Organizations." Among B'nai B'rith's dynamic presidents, the Omaha-based Henry Monsky motivated members to raise millions of dollars to defeat Hitler, while our men and women volunteers surpassed all other fraternal organizations with their war work; he is remembered as an advocate for pre-state Israel who took a prominent in the planning stages of the United Nations. His successor from Massachusetts, Frank Goldman, encouraged Eddie Jacobson to intercede with his longtime friend, President Harry Truman, who officially recognized the state of Israel in 1948. Goldman played a leading role in helping to revive the European lodges after the tragedy of the Holocaust and was instrumental in discussions that culminated in Germany's restitution to the Nazis' victims. Representing a new generation of Jewish leaders, Philip Klutznick, a Chicago builder whose lifelong involvement in B'nai B'rith became the training ground for his presidency from 1953-59, met directly with world leaders to actively defend Jewish rights, spearheaded political and economic alliance between Israel and the United States, and promoted ADL's history-making legal activities on behalf of school integration.
Active from 1882, the members of B'nai B'rith's German lodges were selected for their demonstrated philanthropic history and professional backgrounds. These men were physicians, lawyers, leaders in business, architects, clergy, academics and established authors and artists. In Eastern European countries, and in the near east and the Orient, where B'nai B'rith was committed to modern education for students for all ages, we supported institutions for the sick and the poor, funded libraries, published books and contributed to the arts, and interceded with government leaders when Jewish people were threatened with anti-Semitic violence. In retrospect, the record of both the men's' lodges and the women's auxiliaries was more than remarkable, particularly during World War I, when B'nai B'rith sustained thousands of refugees and abandoned children, supplied the battlefields with doctors and nurses, and raised money for their nations' military campaigns.
In the 20th century, the greatest Jewish minds in Europe and Asia ascribed to the values promulgated by the culture of B'nai B'rith. In Austria, Sigmund Freud's groundbreaking psychoanalytic theories were denigrated by anti-Semitic medical professionals, but he never forgot his Vienna Lodge brothers, who listened, considered and engaged in thoughtful discussion with him. His student, Helene Deutsch, a social activist who pioneered in the field of women's therapy in Europe and the United States, was a member of the auxiliary, as was Anitte Muller, "the angel of Vienna," who established dozens of day care and nursing centers for impoverished Austrian women and their babies, and who arranged for the adoption of hundreds of orphans both before and during World War I.
Revered during his life and in our own time, Rabbi Leo Baeck, president of B'nai B'rith's German lodges for nearly 20 years, tended to the needs of the Jewish community as its representative during the Nazi era, as he attempted to alleviate their poverty and helped many to immigrate. Refusing opportunities to leave them, he suffered as a prisoner in Theresienstadt. Embodying the moral values that were the basis of his theology, he served as rabbi to his fellow inmates, putting their needs before his, and after the war, shepherded the rebirth of the European lodges from the ashes of the death camps. The legacy left by rabbi, biblical scholar, historian and member of the Polish senate, Moses Schorr, a leader of District 13 in the years before World War II, includes his books about B'nai B'rith which promote the organization's principals as the basis for an ideal future society. He wrote that: The union of Bnai Brith as an international organization is ...characterized by two fundamental principles: the idea of solidarity of all the Jews in the entire world ... the idea of universalism of humanity, the brotherhood of all the peoples and nations.... These two ideas I consider for the highest goal of our spiritual and intellectual program....
Keeping alive the spirit of "tzedaka" which informs all that do, B'nai B'rith today continues as a force in Jewish life, influencing public policy on fronts which impact thousands of people globally. Taking a stand for justice and against anti-Semitism at the UN, we advocate for Israel at meetings of the Human Rights Council and UNESCO. Our Diverse Minds competition for high school students receives praise for its innovative approach to tolerance education.
From the post-war years until today, B'nai B'rith has played an integral role in procuring restitution and care for Holocaust survivors in many countries. Standing up for the rights of senior citizens, and helping to safeguard programs for their wellbeing, we launched a partnership with HUD in 1971 which to date has resulted in the construction of 38 properties in 28 communities, producing an inventory of 4500 high quality apartments. As such, we are the largest national Jewish sponsor of subsidized housing in the United States.
Still occurring, now with greater frequency, are devastating natural and man-made disasters hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, sickness and, floods. Since the 1860s, we have reached out to assist survivors in the nations where these events occur.
Less than a 12-minute drive from here to what was called "Little Germany" in 1843 an organization whose pillars were, in the words of historian Cornelia Wilhelm "based on construction of explicitly civil Jewish virtues—reason, education, character, morality—allowing them to unfold on a society-wide basis." Initiated by a compassionate gesture, the donation of $27 to a needy widow, B'nai B'rith and its work adheres to continuously changing needs both within and outside of the Jewish community. As Jews and citizens, our presence made a difference in each country, as we acted on the vision of a just and compassionate world, even in the worst of times, and even when our own almost succumbed to unimaginable cruelty and hatred. Rebounding from the adversities which we suffered, we look to the future as a time when more and more men and women might join us to make the world a better place.

Seychelles has been ranked first among 180 countries in the Environmental Performance Index – 2018 in the Climate and Energy category and 39th overall.
This index has been developed by Yale University and Columbia University in collaboration with the World Economic Forum and the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.
The report was released on January 23, 2018 on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos.
The principal secretary for Climate Change and Energy, Wills Agricole, said that the top ranking is due to the efforts Seychelles is making in the three main areas.
Firstly, Seychelles' rise in the global Climate & Energy issue category is a result of new policy choices that place climate change at the centre of its development strategy. Seychelles is a net sink for global greenhouse gas emissions, the government has integrated decarbonization more purposefully into its actions than most small states.
Secondly, Seychelles has stepped up its effort over the previous years in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by accelerating transition to renewable sources of power through introducing smart renewable energy and energy efficiency schemes in both domestic and commercial sectors.
"Nevertheless, serious data gaps limit the ability to measure results – and particularly changes in performance – on a number of important issues. We need to improve on our data collection, reporting, and verification across a range of environmental issues urgently if we want to achieve an even better overall EPI ranking in 2019," PS Wills Agricole said.


The World Health Organization recently released updated guidelines regarding sugar intake for the first time since 2002. The amount of sugar Americans consume each day has steadily risen over the past few decades, because processed foods, artificial sweeteners and sugary desserts have become more common. The WHO's new recommendation, for both adults and children, is that sugar account for 10 percent or less of a person's total daily energy intake. The organization also noted that reducing daily sugar intake below 5 percent – 25 grams – may yield additional health benefits.
The WHO's guidelines focus on processed sugars rather than those found in fruits, vegetables and milk. Yet, free sugars in processed meals and other foods are main perpetrators that contribute to many Americans overindulging on empty calories. By reducing the amount of sugar consumed each day, the WHO believes that many countries will be able to lower instances of noncommunicable diseases. The U.S. in particular consumes a lot of free sugars, but seniors can keep their sugar intake low by making a few simple adjustments in diet.
"One soda can hold more than 5% of your daily calories."
Studies involving green tea suggest that this steeped beverage can play a role in preventing Alzheimer's disease, but filling your cup full of sugar or honey can really add to your sugar intake. The same goes for adding cream and sugar to your morning cup of Joe. Try slowly reducing the amount of sugar you add to these beverages over time, and eventually you'll adapt to the change in sweetness.
Other drinks such as soda, flavored waters and processed fruit juices also have a lot of free sugars. On average, one can of regular soda packs more than 5 percent of the recommended total calorie intake, which is almost entirely from sugar. While diet sodas may lack the sugar, research suggests that regularly consuming these beverages still results in growing abdominal circumference and instances of obesity.
One of the WHO's main concerns when releasing the new guidelines had to do with 'hidden' sugars found in foods that might not be traditionally considered unhealthy. A wide range of processed foods, condiments, dressings, beverages, smoothies and dairy products contain more sugar than it would seem. While food labels list how much sugar is in a particular food, many people may not know how to navigate them or not think to even look because they believe the food looks healthy.
According to the American Heart Association, a gram of sugar converts to approximately four calories. When you're shopping, make a point of checking how many grams of sugar are in a serving, then you'll be able to calculate how many calories from sugar you're eating. This can then be used to find the percentage of sugar in your total energy intake.
Seniors can benefit from eating fresh, nutritious foods rather than microwaving processed foods loaded with extra fat, sodium and sugar. For seniors who are slowing down in the kitchen, consider that assisted living homes provide healthy, home-cooked meals every day.
Organic Authority advises investing in high quality desserts rather than going for everyday sweet snacks. Instead of purchasing a bag of cookies, invest in one decadent truffle or a freshly-baked pastry every once in a while. Though nice desserts are a bit more expensive, the occasional indulgence is better than a daily sugar rush. The investment may also encourage you to eat less, rather than return to the cookie jar again and again.

Dave Hull Stands
Up To Cancer
While Merck employee Dave Hull wanted to stand up to cancer, he wasn't sure he'd ever have full mobility again after a diagnosis of sarcoma in his left sciatic nerve, which affected his ability to stand and walk.
"My treatment began with chemo and radiation followed by surgery that resulted in a complete resection of my sciatic nerve. I lost all function from the knee down and in my hamstring and other hip flexor/abductor muscles. I also lost sensation in my foot and the back of my leg up through my left buttocks," explains Dave. "After additional chemo treatments, I was finally declared cancer free in April 2010. My next battle was to regain use of my leg."
DAVE'S NEXT STEPS
Today, after years of physical therapy, Dave has regained some mobility in his leg, but continues to wear a brace from the knee down.
"I like to believe that my limp is close to imperceptible at this point- and after significant time on crutches and also using a cane to get around - I am extremely pleased with the progress I've made with my gait and mobility today."
Which is good, because Dave has a busy life. He and his wife Denise have two pre-teen children, James and Kate, and a golden retriever, Ginger, and Dave's on the go for most of the day. "I get up early, meditate and go to the gym before heading into the office. But, after work and weekends are all about family time," said Dave.
Dave's inspiring journey with cancer will be featured in the Stand Up to Cancer telecast airing nationally on September 7th. The telecast raises money for SU2C's innovative cancer research programs to get new effective treatments to patients faster.
Merck is the Founding Collaborator supporting SU2C Catalyst, a program that uses funding and materials from the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, diagnostic and medical devices industries to accelerate research on cancer prevention, detection and treatment. Four SU2C Catalyst clinical trial teams focused on sarcoma and ovarian, pancreatic and non-small cell lung cancers are supported by Merck.
HOW MERCK HELPED DAVE REGAIN HIS STRIDE
Dave was able to continue working while receiving his treatments, thanks in large part, to the support of Merck and his colleagues.
"My family and I had an amazing experience with my Merck colleagues throughout my diagnosis and treatment. Sean Bauer, who is now my manager, organized a 'ride schedule' where different members of the team would drive me to and from my chemotherapy infusions. He also organized a meal donation and housecleaning schedule which really helped," recalls Dave. "My kids were 1 and 3 when I was diagnosed - so my wife really had her hands full! I don't know how we would have done it without my colleagues' support."
Being able to work throughout his treatments was tremendously positive for Dave mentally. "It helped me feel 'normal' and kept my mind engaged and focused on something other than my diagnosis and treatment. I could bring work to my chemo infusions and was still a very productive employee throughout it all. That was a huge boost to my psyche."
Dave often meets with other people who have loved ones dealing with a cancer. "I try to support them as much as I can because I know what a difference it can make in this daily fight."
TRAINING FOR TEAM MERCK - BALTIMORE
FOR SWIM ACROSS AMERICA
Dave is now training for a 3 mile open water swim in Baltimore thanks to Merck's partnership with Swim Across America, a charitable organization dedicated to raising funds for cancer research and clinical trials. "I swim 2-3 days per week and lift twice per week, and it feels good to be back in the pool. I swam competitively in high school but have not been swimming regularly since then - and while the loss of function in my leg still affects my stroke - I have figured out how to make it work."
Dave has been cancer-free for more than 8 years and is making every day count by being fully committed to his family, work and community activities.
"I am swimming to honor those who have fought and lost much more than I have – and to encourage those who continue their battles."

Q: not a factor R in GBM model Sorry for the dumb question.  I'm running the following code:
gbm_mdl <- do.call(train,
             c(list(x=L0FeatureSet1$train$predictors,y=L0FeatureSet1$train$y),
             CARET.TRAIN.PARMS,
             MODEL.SPECIFIC.PARMS,
             CARET.TRAIN.OTHER.PARMS))

Predictor has a bunch of independent variables and y is the target.  I get the following error:
Error in gbm.fit(x = list(Neighborhood = c(17L, 17L, 17L, 17L, 17L, 17L,  :
variable 1: Neighborhood is not of type numeric, ordered, or factor.

However, if I test for "Neighborhood" in my predictors, it's a factor:
is.factor(L0FeatureSet1$train $predictors$Neighborhood[1])
[1] TRUE
 class(L0FeatureSet1$train $predictors$Neighborhood)
[1] "factor"

I'm also running a xgboost and ranger model with the same list of parameters and it works for both of those.
Does anyone know how I should proceed to fix this?  Thanks
