Bye-Norris stars at Victorian Open
Bowls VictoriaSunbury bowls
Jay Bye-Norris. Picture Bowls Victoria
Sunbury Bowling Club's Jay Bye-Norris has added the Victorian Open men's singles to his 2019 state title.
Having claimed the state title back in April, Bye-Norris was keen to add another title to his name and further press for national honours.
He battled through the heat in Shepparton last week to come out on top in the final against Zac Woning, winning 21-8.
Bye-Norris said despite the scoreline it was a really good game.
"I have won a couple of state titles and I've won an Australian title [in the triples]," he said.
"It's good to get the state title in April and now this one in November.
"The final game certainly didn't reflect the scoreline. A centimetre or two and the other person scores.
"I was getting the scores this time. I just wanted to keep my winning form going."
It was a big week for Bye-Norris, who competed in several different events. He played 28 matches across the tournament, including five in one day in hot weather.
"Playing so many games, it's a bit of a battle," he said.
"You have to stay mentally strong and that's where the game gets won."
Having made the last four of the triples and last eight of the mixed pairs, Bye-Norris was awarded the overall Vic Open Medal for the best performing player across the event.
The Melton resident said it was a complete shock.
"Going into the singles final, I didn't think I had a chance to win the overall medal.
"They told me I had won it, I was surprised. I lost a couple in the earlier rounds, so I didn't think I had a chance."
There was no rest for Bye-Norris as he returned to Melbourne and played with Sunbury in the Bowls Victoria Pennant division 1, section 1 match with Aberfeldie CBC.
It was a good day for Bye-Norris and Sunbury as they won 92 (18)-64 (0).
Bye-Norris' rink won 29-20.
Bye-Norris said he was pretty exhausted heading back to Sunbury and did what he had to, to get the win.
It's Bye-Norris' first season at Sunbury after joining the club from Essendon a couple of rounds into the season.
"It's a little bit closer to home. They're really good people and there's good greens."
The next aim for Bye-Norris is to make an Australian squad. He is currently part of the Victorian team.

The Wild One, auch bekannt unter dem Titel Real Wild Child, ist ein Rock-'n'-Roll-Lied, das 1957 von Johnny Greenan und Dave Owens, Saxophonisten der australischen Band The Deejays, für Johnny O'Keefe geschrieben wurde. Dem DJ Tony Withers wird zugesprochen, dem Lied zum Erfolg verholfen zu haben, indem er ihm im Radio zu Airplay verhalf. Das Lied gilt als eines der wenigen Stücke, an deren Songwriting O'Keefe beteiligt war und ist zugleich der erste Rock-'n'-Roll-Song, der sich in den australischen Single-Charts platzieren konnte. Die Aufnahmen fanden in den Festival Studios in Sydney statt, der Applaus der Zuschauer wurde nachträglich hinzugefügt. Im März 1958 erschien das Lied erstmals auf der EP Shakin' at the Stadium von Johnny O'Keefe. Im Juli 1958 erschien die Single-Version des Liedes und erreichte Platz 20 der australischen Hitparade.

Coverversionen
Das Lied wurde von zahlreichen Künstlern gecovert. Die erste Version wurde bereits 1958 von Jerry Allison, Mitglied von The Crickets, aufgenommen und unter dem Pseudonym Ivan und mit dem abgewandelten Titel Real Wild One in den USA veröffentlicht, wo es Platz 68 der Billboard Hot 100 erreichte. 1974 veröffentlichte Suzi Quatro ihre Version, mit der sie Platz 7 der britischen Charts erreichte. Iggy Pop veröffentlichte eine Version unter dem Titel Real Wild Child (Wild One) im Jahr 1986 und erreichte damit Platz 10 der UK-Charts. Diese Version wird auch als Titelmusik der Fernsehserie Der letzte Bulle verwendet.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas assumed the chairmanship of the largest bloc of countries at the United Nations on behalf of "the State of Palestine" on Tuesday in New York City.
The Palestinians are slated to serve as the leader of the bloc, known as the Group of 77, for the next year.
Speech - UN - Headquarters - Abbas - Task
In a speech at the UN headquarters, Abbas called the task of leading the Group of 77 "a great responsibility."
"I am pleased to take over today the chairmanship of the Group of 77 on behalf of the Palestinian people and the State of Palestine," he said, addressing the bloc. "It is a great responsibility that the State of Palestine will bear with complete humility, sincerity and dedication."
Group - Consortium - Countries - UN - General
The Group of 77 is a consortium of 134 developing countries that often works together in the UN General Assembly. The body was originally founded in 1964 with 77 countries, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Thailand and India. Over the years, it has grown to include countries such as South Africa, Qatar, Cuba, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Singapore, and Angola, and currently represents some 80 percent of the world's population.
In October 2018, the General Assembly voted by an overwhelming majority to temporarily grant Palestine additional rights and privileges, allowing it to head the Group of 77.
Leader - Body - Palestine - Proposals - Amendments
While it serves as the leader of the body, Palestine will be able to cosponsor proposals and amendments, make statements, and raise procedural motions.
In October, both Israel and the United States expressed strong opposition to...

It would seem as though I had brought some of the lovely weather I had endured while in Spain back with me as we geared up to ride the 2018 BMW G 310 GS. More rain, you're welcome Southern California. Thankfully, this time around it would only last for the first half of the day, although that was where the good stuff was in regard to our route. Nonetheless, the mixture of weather during our introductory ride of BMW's lil GS gives us an opportunity to deliver an all-weather review of this new motorcycle.
I haven't so soon forgotten where I came from. In Illinois, we had all seasons with beautiful Falls and lush Springs sandwiched by incredibly humid summers and frigid winters. I guess what I'm saying is that I need to be happy with what I've got. And what I've got today, is the chance to test a new BMW.
BMW has done a fantastic job in designing the G 310 GS to carry-on the quintessential GS look while being quite svelte. From the GS beak, to the large, robust rack capping off the rear, there is no mistaking the styling of BMW's newest addition to it's ADV family. In my opinion, after having sampled the others, it is the best small-displacement ADV bike on the market in terms of fit and finish.
The 310 GS uses a 41mm upside-down gold fork which, aesthetically, offers a premium look that rivals in the category have yet to opt for, although it doesn't necessarily mean it will be suspended better than a traditional style fork. The cast five-spoke aluminum wheels look fantastic, and the 19-inch up front is helpful off-road – while I might have liked to see spoked wheels on a bike with off-road potential. Lighting is well-placed with the turn signals up high out of the way of impending tip over damage surprisingly perhaps, no LED lighting has been used on the 310.
Graphics and colors also exude GS DNA with Cosmic black, Racing Red, and Pearl White Metallic. The Pearl White Metallic adds $100 and is the only factory option on the 310 GS. Pricing is set at $5,695 and BMW has gone the extra mile to cut their destination and handling fee in half, to $245, which will get you out of the dealership under $6,000 before tax.
BMW claims 71 mpg out of the 313cc single which is good because the tank only holds 2.9 gallons, equating to 206 miles between fill-ups. Your mileage may (will) vary.
The single-cylinder, 313cc GS is quite comfortable around town with its wide handlebar, upright riding position, and nimble handling characteristics. While the suspension is quite soft, it's comfortable around town. The 32.9-inch seat height which may seem high to some, but the suspension squats considerably once mounted.
We began our day cruising out into the backroads of San Diego County where it immediately started raining, progressing from light drizzle to full-on vision-inhibiting rain. Am I back in Spain? Déjà vu? Although the G 310 GS is devoid of electronics such as traction control or cornering ABS and rider modes, it is still somewhat comforting to be on a bike with lower horsepower and torque numbers that is lightweight and easily maneuverable in these adverse conditions.
My feeble attempts at a Jared Mees impression were thwarted by the lack of flywheel and not keeping the engine above 8,000 rpm, where all the fun resides.
BMW claims 34 hp at 9,500 rpm and 21 lb-ft of torque at 7,500 out of its single-cylinder engine, numbers that are nearly identical to the parallel-twin Versys-X 300 we dyno'd this past September. Engine performance is admittedly mild most of the way through the rev-range with the most excitement coming in close to the 10,600 redline. It can take a bit of getting used to in order to keep the motor in its peak performance range, but owners will likely come accustomed to it.
Once we made our way to the beginning of the fire road, we paused to discuss the next part of our route. It was suggested that we turn off ABS. On the G 310 GS, ABS is easily disabled while moving with a dedicated button on the left control module. Yes! Although there are no off-road modes or complicated algorithms detecting the rate of wheel spin individually, I was so happy to see an easily switchable ABS system on a bike like this. Of note, like many other models, ABS will be turned back on if the key is switched off. If the ABS light is off while riding, it is on, if the ABS light is solidly lit, ABS is off. Easy as that.
While making our way up a somewhat slimy, flat section of dirt I began to toy with the bike's limits of traction. I was surprised by how well the stock Metzler Tourance tires hooked up on the muddy ground. With the 110/80R19 up front and 150/70R17 in the rear, those hunting for even more traction should have a fair amount of choices.
Even with our brief stretch of wet pavement in the morning, it was enough to notice the lack of initial bite and overall weakness of the brakes. The 310 GS uses Bybre brakes front and rear, a 300mm single disc with a 4-piston radial-mounted caliper fore and a 240mm single disc aft clamped by a single-piston floating caliper. For those of you not familiar with Bybre brakes, they are a subsidiary of Brembo used by small-to-medium displacement scooters. ByBre: By Brembo.
While our dirt section was almost devoid of bumps, there was still a section or two where we were happy to have the 7.1-inches of travel front and rear, that being said, the bike bottomed with my 170 lbs on it going over a relatively small washed out section on the side of the fire road at slow speed.
The small footpegs weren't bothersome while sitting, however, standing on them for any amount of time off-road is sure to be tiring. The rubber inserts used to quell vibration can also be removed in favor of better traction.
Just as we were nearing our lunch stop, the skies opened, the clouds blew away, and we were left with the sunny California weather we know so well (and that those who had traveled to San Diego had hoped for). After lunch, we hit the road, eager to push the bikes to their limits to really test the performance of the machines.
I am happy to admit even when hustling into corners with the fairly soft suspension, once in a corner at speed, the suspension was predictable and linear in its stroke without bouncing all over the place. I'm sure speeding through tight switchbacks would offer a different outcome; however, it worked just fine where we were riding.
Braking on dry pavement at speed only further accentuated the weaknesses of the braking system on the G 310 GS. The soft front suspension coupled with the weak stopping power leads to very little feel or feedback at the lever, something riders of varying skill levels will likely notice.
Let's take a step back for a moment though and consider the potential buyers of the BMW G 310 GS: a new rider or one interested in the adventure motorcycle segment who doesn't want to make a $15,000 investment just yet, or perhaps the buyer of the wee GS has a 1200 in the garage already and wants a bike to slap on the back of the RV while on summer road trips. Well, Any of the aforementioned will likely be happy with the 310 GS. The performance attributes that can be seen as negatives, when comparing the motorcycle to costlier larger machines are probably going to be enough for the intended audience of the new 310 GS. On the spec sheet, the BMW stacks up nicely to potential competitors like the Kawasaki Versys-X 300. So closely in fact, that I had to ride one of these bad boys an hour and a half home on the 5/405 freeway so we can have a chance to test it more thoroughly and get it side by side with the competition for a good 'ol fashioned MO shootout.

The 9 acts for this year's Melodi Grand Prix final have been selected.
The Norwegian national selection, Melodi Grand Prix will conclude this Saturday, 15th March with the final of of this year's competition. The final will be held live at the Oslo Spektrum where 9 acts will compete for the honour of representing Norway in Copenhagen.
The Norwegian Eurovision national selection Melodi Grand Prix, will be revamped and have a brand new look for 2014. The national selection will be arranged as a week long music festival, culminating in a grand final in which Norway's entry to the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest will be decided.
The competition will be hosted by NRKs Jenny Skavlan and Erik Solbakken. Erik is a well known Norwegian host and Eurovision fans will remember him as he co hosted the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest in Oslo.
In January, the audience were introduced to the new show format and the artists on www.nrk.no/mgp. The semi-finals and final will be broadcasted live on NRK1 and on NRK TV webstream for international viewers.
Hence the 2014 Norwegian national selection will consist of 4 live shows: 3 semi-finals and the grand final. A total of 15 acts will battle for the golden ticket to Copenhagen.
In each of the semi-finals five of this year's total of 15 artists will be introduced and perform their song. Three artists from each semi final will go on to the final. During the show the audience will follow the artists' creative journey, from having their song picked to enter this year's contest, until he or she enters the stage to perform in front of a live audience. During the live broadcast, the jury will also comment on the performance and voice its opinion on each contribution's chance to reach the final.
Norway debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1960 and has won the competition in 1985 with Bobbysocks, in 1995 with Secret Garden and in 2009 with Alexander Rybak. In 2013 Margaret Berger won the Norwegian national final with her entry I feed you my love, and represented Norway in Malmö achieving an honourable 4th place in the final.
Stay tuned to esctoday.com for the latest news on Norway and the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest.

i'm not the only one
Those of you who have been reading this blog for a while know that I try not to buy things made in China as a one-person protest of China's occupation of Tibet. I've also written about Mindful Shopping (what a concept!) here and about how difficult it is to find things that are not made in China.
So it did my heart good today to read this story in the Chicago Tribune about another woman who tried to stop buying things made in China — for a different reason, but it is her protest just the same. I thought I was the only one who diligently read labels!
A family tries 12 months without 'Made in China'
Strike China from the shopping list? Good luck. One experiment highlights how much U.S. consumers rely on those imports.
By Mary Ellen Podmolik | Special to the Tribune
Is it possible to live without Chinese-made goods?
That's what Sara Bongiorni wanted to know, and after a year of a self-imposed embargo, she said she's thankful her telephone didn't break because she fears she might have broken down herself and bought a replacement made in China.
The Baton Rouge, La., mom and her family did make do, however, without a coffeepot, a blender, birthday candles and a lot of toys.
"We knew it would be difficult but until we did this, we really didn't know how much we rely on imports for everyday things," Bongiorni said….
The story gives tips on boycotting Chinese goods:
– Don't expect friends and family to join in.
– Be prepared to go without convenience items, like an inexpensive coffeemaker.
– Get out your magnifying glass to look at tiny print on boxes and labels.
– When ordering from catalogs and Web sites, be prepared to make phone calls asking for the item's country of origin.
– Dig deeper. Some toys from Danish firm Lego, for example, are made in China.
– Brush up on geography. You'll have to decide whether Hong Kong and Macau are part of the boycott.
On the Students for a Free Tibet website it says that "in December 2002, a worldwide coalition of Tibetan and Chinese organizations and human rights and labor advocates launched an international Boycott Made in China campaign designed to level economic pressure on the Chinese government to end its occupation of Tibet. In a coordinated effort to urge people to stop buying goods made in China, activists throughout Canada, the United States, New Zealand, Europe and India, are educating consumers about what their money is supporting when they buy 'Made in China.'
The Boycott Made in China campaign, representing a worldwide coalition of Tibetan and Chinese organizations and human rights and labour advocates, plans to put the brakes on China's crimes through the power of the individual consumer. Campaign organizers believe that, more than any other force that could be bought to bear against China, the latent power of the free, informed and responsible consumer can pressure the world's last surviving giant Communist dictatorship to allow the Tibetan nation and the Chinese people the freedom they have been long denied."
Tucked away comfortably in our small towns or suburban subdivisions, ALL of us are a part of the bigger global picture. Our choices DO affect change, one person at a time.
Sorry if this sounds judgmental, but THINK, PEOPLE! Mindfulness is a life practice. Mindfulness is a choice. THINK about where your food comes from. THINK about where your clothes come from — are they made by companies in foreign sweatshops that employ child labor? The three biggest corporate villains for clothing are Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, and Dilliards. THINK about whether the cosmetics you buy are tested on animals. The biggest corporate villains for cosmetics insofar as animal testing and using known carcinogens are Maybelline, L'Oreal, Almay, and Revlon.
Think outside the box. Think mindfulness. Be mindfulness. Be aware.
JUST THINK.

Oil on canvas 20" x 40"
The title refers to a meeting onboard the Resolution on December 14th 1772, when Captain Cook discussed with Furneaux options, should the two ships become separated, which happened a few days later.
I have found the description of both Cook and Forster intriguing. The civility and whimsy of taking breakfast, in this most English manner at the bottom of the world, suggested the title and the painting, 'Fetched Furneaux for Breakfast' .
"At eight o'Clock brought to under a Point of the Ice and sent onboard for Captain Furneaux, fixed on rendezvous in case of separation, agreed on some other matters for the better keeping Company and after breakfast he returned to his Sloop and we made sail along the ice,"
- Taken from the Journals of Captain James Cook.

The Student Development and Activities office hosts a variety of diversity and inclusivity programs throughout the academic year. With speakers, workshops, social, and cultural events, students have ample opportunity to immerse themselves in the college's rich array of activities. The programs offer enhanced student learning and help students develop their sensitivity as citizens of a global society.
We continue to celebrate annual events like the programs listed below. In addition to heritage programming, the office of Student Development and Activities sponsors events related to current experiences. If you have a programming suggestion please email activities@mmm.edu. Check out the calendar, Facebook, and the 'What's Happening at MMC' tab for more events.
Asian American Heritage Month. During the month of May, MMC recognizes the contributions of Asian-Americans to the United States.
Black History Month. During the month of February, MMC recognizes the contributions Black/African-Americans to the United States.
Latin/Latinx Heritage Month. From September 15 to October 15, MMC recognizes the contributions of Latin/Latinx Americans to the US. The x at the end of the word Latin is used in lieu of the 'o' to offer a gender inclusive option of Latina or Latino.
Native American Heritage Month. During the month of November, MMC recognizes the contributions Native-American/Indigenous Peoples have made to the United States.
Pride Month. During the month of May, MMC recognizes the contributions of the LGBTQ community to the United States. Typically Pride Month is held in June; however, because MMC is not in session during June, we celebrate Pride Month in May.
Trans Day of Remembrance. On November 20th, MMC recognizes the lives that have been taken due to violence and hatred. Trans Day of Remembrance is a day in which we raise up the spirits and lives of the people murdered for being who they were.
Womxn's Herstory Month. During the month of March, Marymount Manhattan College recognizes the contributions women have made to the United States.

But should we exclude from our midst those Messianic Jews who adhere to these negative boundary markers, i.e., who deny the deity of Yeshua, or who deny the covenantal obligation of Torah? I am not convinced that we should.
Affirmation of the deity of Yeshua and affirmation of the covenantal obligation of Torah observance for Jews are the two central principles of our communal existence, and we can rightly require that our leaders uphold them. They are our center, but they need not constitute our outer boundary.
What Kinzer is arguing for is that Messianics who deny Yeshua is God should be accepted in Messianic congregations.
While that is being debated, it's important to note that this same group, MJTI, loudly argues that other Messianic communities, such as One Law and Two House Messianics, should be excluded from the Messianic movement.
To put it succinctly, MJTI argues Messianics who deny Yeshua's divinity are OK, but Yeshua-faithful Messianics who broaden the application of Torah, or who broaden the composition of Israel, are Not-OK.
It it times like these that I am thankful to God that intellectuals do not run the Messianic movement. I am thankful that regular folks of the Messianic movement, God's sheep, are shepherded not by the intellectuals, but by Yeshua himself.
"To put it succinctly, MJTI argues Messianics who deny Yeshua's divinity are OK, but Yeshua-faithful Messianics who broaden the application of Torah, or who broaden the composition of Israel, are Not-OK. It it times like these that I am thankful to God that intellectuals do not run the Messianic movement."
*** CONTEXT ALERT ***. You made a big deal over something that is not. This is because, Judah, you are thinking from a Evangelical Christian point of view of who can be a member of a community (I don't blame you and it's not an insult). In contrast to this view, any Jewish synagogue is supposed to be a home for ALL Jews, regardless of whether or not they even believe in G-d. That's what makes a synagogue different from say a "church" (or a One-Law congregation), whose primary identification is based on their common "belief" vs. the intrinsic family unity of the Jewish people. I think you've jumped the gun.
"Affirmation of the deity of Yeshua and affirmation of the covenantal obligation of Torah observance for Jews are the two central principles of our communal existence, and we can rightly require that our leaders uphold them. They are our center, but they need not constitute our outer boundary."
So, yes - we can have Jews attend out synagogues who hold various beliefs or no beliefs at all, because they are our Jewish family. A synagogue is MORE than a religious entity espousing certain doctrines - it's a center of a Jewish comminity. The leadership, on the other hand, must hold specific beliefs to be "Messianic" Jewish.
Kinzer isn't arguing for zero boundaries. He is arguing for a boundary that includes denial of Yeshua's divinity.
This is important for regular Messianic folk to know.
"Kinzer isn't arguing for zero boundaries. He is arguing for a boundary that includes denial of Yeshua's divinity. This is important for regular Messianic folk to know."
He's not arguing FOR IT - as if he views it as something positive that should be promoted and upheld. He simply argues that Jews specifically (rather than Christians who call themselves "Messianics") should find a home with Messianic Jewish synagogues and not find themselves excluded because they don't sign on the dotted line regarding whether Yeshua is G-d and whether or not Trinity is biblical.
Interestingly, some time ago Christian Evangelical congregations in Israel wanted all MJ congregations in that country to sign a paper declaring certain doctrines to be inviolable and subject to excommunication from congregation. Most congregations refused to sign it.
OK, let's take the cat out of the bag...Gene, do you believe in the divinity of Yeshua?
"OK, let's take the cat out of the bag...Gene, do you believe in the divinity of Yeshua?"
Yes, I do. Anymore questions?
I appreciate that Judah is trying to inform his blog readers that perhaps for some Messianic Jews, Yeshua being Divine is not a central or core issue. This is something that many are not going to like, and then for others it is not that big a deal.
Certainly in many Christian churches across the world, where the official doctrinal position is that Jesus is Divine, there are many constituents who think that He was just a good moral teacher.
There is no way to serve as someone's conscience.
i also believe that the church should close it's doors to people who do not believing in the divinity of Yeshua.
any kind of mixture is dangerous.
ok...I'm off to go start a religious compound.
"Certainly in many Christian churches across the world, where the official doctrinal position is that Jesus is Divine, there are many constituents who think that He was just a good moral teacher. "
In contrast to the "good moral teacher" view (which signifies non-committal or general indifference), within the mainstream Jewish thought it's certainly possible (in fact standard, with exception of some meshichist groups) to be committed to and be super excited about a Messiah who is an agent of G-d, sent by G-d, can do many great wondrous things by G-d's power (miracles), but not divine or G-d himself. I do wonder if is there an explicit litmus test in NT about what exact things one must believe about the nature of Messiah or Trinity to be saved or to be part of a community of believers?
"i also believe that the church should close it's doors to people who do not believing in the divinity of Yeshua. "
I think that's in essence of what Judah is saying here. Or, may be he doesn't really believe that himself (certainly, he wouldn't keep "unbelievers" away from his congregation, right?), but it sure looks good when it can be made to appear that Kinzer doesn't really care about Yeshua or his divine nature.
I know from my personal interactions with various Messianic Jews that even if the leadership of a Messianic Jewish congregation adheres to Yeshua being Divine, there are likely to be a number of people who (strongly) disagree with it. They are certainly free to have congregations and assemblies where a Divine Messiah is a bigger issue.
Like it or not for some people, there are Messianic Jews for whom the nature of Yeshua is not as big as an issue as it might be for others. But this is also true for many Christians throughout history as well. My own position is stated pretty clearly in Romans 10:9, where an affirmation of Yeshua's Divine Lordship is essential for salvation.
Judah's intention was to inform others as to what one Messianic Jewish leader thinks. We should be sure that there are people who will see things another way.
At the congregation I attend, we seem to focus mostly on our own relationship with our Creator and not so much these ideas as to who is a Jew and what should Jews do and what should non Jews do. That seems to be something between each person and G-d and it seems besides the point to sit around drafting up doctrinal statements dividing this person from that person. To me it also sits outside of what I see as the point of Scripture.
However, it seems like anyone can come to attend congregational services and events and believe whatever they want, but to be a member is something different. Members are involved in teaching and directly representing the congregation. As such, there are some things that are rather core to the faith and other things that are "agree to disagree" items. Disagreement on core items would be enough to reject membership. The divinity of Messiah would be one of the things that would be core to the faith and those that do not prescribe to such I would think would not be eligible for membership. Things in the agree to disagree column I would not think would prevent one from membership. I guess examples of that would be things like some practices and their relevance to our culture today (maybe things like strictness to kosher regulations and traditions as well as thing like speaking in tongues).
I guess the key question is what "exclude from our midst" means. Does that mean not allow those that reject the divinity to attend services? If so, then I disagree with a position that they should be excluded from our midst. Those who are outside the faith we have can attend all they want. If it refers to membership in the congregation, then I would say that it is a point of separation from membership.
"Members are involved in teaching and directly representing the congregation."
Most members in congregations are NOT teacher material, and besides - shouldn't the discernment of the leader or leaders come into play when appointing people to such positions?
Most mainstream synagogues' membership systems do not make members sign on the dotted line of a long doctrinal statement. I believe that ANY Jew who wishes to become a member of an MJ synagogue should be allowed (assuming that there's even a membership system in place to begin with). This is wholly different matter than making that person a teacher or a spokesman for a synagogue.
Many churches and congregations DO NOT HAVE A MEMBERSHIP SYSTEM at all - how do they deal with unbelieving people in their midst and preventing them from misrepresenting the congregation? Quite simply - they lead their congregation and direct what happens in them.
These are religious challenges across the board. Congregations are free to to require adherence to a statement of belief, or refuse membership--or not. I think that it is appropriate to refuse membership on this basis, but others do not. And, even if one were to agree to such a statement of belief or purose, no one can monitor another person's thoughts, which can certainly change.
And, we can add to this that many denominations have a discipline that is expected to be followed, which can get frequently disregarded or outright rejected at the local level (i.e., allowing gays and lesbians to become members).
I know many do not like the idea that it ultimately comes down to the individual and God--but in many cases, given various communal challenges, it can.
"I know many do not like the idea that it ultimately comes down to the individual and God--but in many cases, given various communal challenges, it can."
100% agree - I would argue that this is especially true within the context of a Jewish Messianic community welcoming those few Jews who dare to enter our doors. The communal challenges there are unlike those of any church or congregation. I personally know of Jews who are part of an MJ synagogue who do not believe in Yeshua (secular Jews who never have) but find that the community they joined (usually through a relative or a friend) is the only place where they feel most at home - as Jews! Should we make them sign on the dotted line or show them the door?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Judaism in general (the non-Messianic kind) doesn't believe that the Messiah must be God. In fact, Judaism considers Christianity to be a sort of "idol-worship" because they (we?) worship a human being and not God (the Father). I've even heard of a few Messianic congregations in Israel who have faith in Yeshua as the Messiah, but do not believe in his divinity, viewing Yeshua in a way more consistent with "mainstream" Judaism.
All that said, I feel like this debate is taking place out of context. All we have to work with is an excerpt from something Kinzer said at the Hashivenu conference. Is it possible to get the full text for reference?
-To make Messianic folks aware of what one of our leaders believe.
-To draw attention to an amusing observation: Yeshua-rejecting Messianics may be acceptable by one MJTI leader, but Yeshua-faithful One Law and Two House Messianics may not be acceptable, and may not even be considered "Messianic" by another MJTI leader's standards.
"To draw attention to an amusing observation: Yeshua-rejecting Messianics may be acceptable by one MJTI leader, but Yeshua-faithful One Law and Two House Messianics may not be acceptable, and may not even be considered "Messianic" by another MJTI leader's standards."
"Jews are born; Christians enter by believing. A Jew is a Jew by existing; a Christian by believing. The Jewish people are one people, unique; the Church is a people from many peoples, universal."
I know it's hard to grasp if one doesn't consider Jews and Israel any different than anyone else.
I asked this question on Derek's blog but I think it just blew past everyone there. I understand where you're going with this Gene, but is a Jew's faith (or lack thereof) in God completely irrelevant? In order for a Gentile to be accepted into the community of faith, they must profess said-faith. All a Jewish person has to do is be born Jewish. Does that mean faith has no place in normative Judaism at all? If not, then why does God matter?
Replace "Messianic" with "Messianic Jew", and the same thing holds.
"All a Jewish person has to do is be born Jewish. Does that mean faith has no place in normative Judaism at all? If not, then why does God matter?"
No, of course not - a Jew needs faith in G-d and Messiah like anyone else - that's the plan of G-d for Israel. BUT, if G-d excluded Jews from Israel on that basis alone, all Jews would be gone long ago. Instead, a Jew has something else - a coventantal obligation that hits him/her the moment of birth. This obligation not only includes "blessings", but also great persecution. That's why a Jew is hated, persecuted and hated just for being born one - unlike any other faith.
"Replace "Messianic" with "Messianic Jew", and the same thing holds."
No, of course not - a Jew needs faith in G-d and Messiah like anyone else - that's the plan of G-d for Israel. BUT, if G-d excluded Jews from Israel on that basis alone, all Jews would be gone long ago.
I wasn't suggesting excluding Jews from Israel. If faith was required, no secular Jews (the majority of the Jewish population of Israel today) would be able to make Aliyah.
I was specifically referring to the community of faith. The way Derek originally worded that part of today's missive seemed to give the impression (I'm sure without him intending to) that faith was only a requirement for non-Jews and that Jews "got in free", so to speak, regardless of the state of their faith.
Incidentally, I have seen a Jewish Buddhist being given an Aliyah and reading from the Torah in a synagogue. It's also true that, even if a Jew is an atheist and completely rejects God, he or she is still Jewish. If a Christian rejects Christ, he or she has not relationship with God at that point.
No one in Messianic Judaism upholds the divinity of Yeshua as clearly and authoritatively as Mark Kinzer. This post and especially J.K. McKee's comment that Yeshua's divinity is not central for Kinzer is as wrong and unjust as any accusation I have seen made on a blog anywhere.
I shouldn't have to have these kindergarten arguments with you all, but let me speak clearly: if a pastor said, "we should not exclude people who don't believe in the infallibility of the Bible from our church," would you then say: "The infallibility of the Bible is not a central value for this pastor"?
But please, Judah and J.K., since you are casting doubts on a just and righteous man, do write your article explaining the divinity of Yeshua and let the world decide who has a better grasp of the subject.
A Jew does not have to believe in God to be a Jew. A Jew does not cease to be a Jew for believing in Buddhism. Jewishness is by birth. That is scripture.
I don't understand what is difficult about this concept.
A Christian must believe in God and Jesus. A person who abandons faith in Jesus is no longer a Christian.
The question who is a Jew is very different from the question who is a Christian.
Romans 11:25-29 ought to clear this up for those who may have doubts.
What the publications I have read from Dr. Kinzer, I know that he is a very well-spoken and researched gentleman. I am sure for him personally, the Divinity of Yeshua is an important issue. But for all of the people within the faith community of his sector of Messianic Judaism, and for what he seems to be facilitating, I remain skeptical.
Time, of course, will be the ultimate factor with whether any such suspicions prove true or not. I remain eager to read Dr. Kinzer's papers on the subject.
Derek, re-read my comment. There was nothing inconsistent with a "Jew being a Jew" in anything I said. I was actually agreeing with you and was using those examples to make a point.
This is one of the major reasons I'm dropping "Messianic Judaism" (and anything related) like an angry rattlesnake. The endless bickering, chip-on-the-shoulder attitudes, and general practice of taking pot shots at anyone who is even perceived as disagreeing with a stated position.
I realize the nature of text-only communications is rife with misunderstanding, but you could have at least tried to give me the benefit of the doubt.
You say you promote "community". Good luck with that.
I definitely did not mean to sound so angry with you. I wasn't. It must be that I was concerned that the "who is a Jew" question was being confused with the "should Jews have faith" question.
I apologize for my snideness and rudeness of tone to you. I actually did not mean to sound so snippy.
Derek, no one is saying Kinzer rejects Yeshua's divinity. Read the post again.
Mat 11:25 It was at that time that Yeshua said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you concealed these things from the sophisticated and educated and revealed them to ordinary folks.
Check your New Testament and you will find something is true. Let me know if you disagree.
I appreciate that, Derek. Like I said, the text-only nature of our communications make misunderstandings more common than we'd like them to be.
I had an interesting class tonight. There are two Jewish members of the my congregation's board who are in my class. One is very One Law while the other, I discovered tonight, is more in line with the Gentiles being obligated to the Acts 15 letter but "allowed" to do more if they (we) choose. It made for a very lively discussion. I felt for the first time in awhile, that there was room for the congregation to grow.
Anyway, off topic, but I thought I'd share.
Having scholars is important. We need leaders trained in theology, language, biblical studies, like Leman, McKee, Dauermann.
It's just, sometimes, intellectuals tend to intellectualize everything. :-) And they often lose touch with the common folk, the mundane needs of the regular people.
I don't crucify you by any means for regcognizing the limitations in various "intellectuals." History demonstrates that there are aristocratic intellectuals who lord their studies and credentials over others, and then intellectuals who promote a meritocracy, wanting to promote an ethic of hard work and high achievement in everybody.
"...I want the best of chances for everyone. That is my mission—that if we can fulfil the potential and realise the talents of all our people then I am absolutely sure that Britain can be the great global success story of this century."
It should be no surprise that Brown's father was a minister. Let us be servants of the Body of Messiah who can similarly stimulate every man and woman to do good deeds and aim excelsior in the Lord!
17 But if you bear the name "Jew" and rely upon the Torah and boast in G-d, 18 and know His will and approve the things that are essential, being instructed out of the Torah, 19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having in the Torah the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth, 21 you, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that one shall not steal, do you steal? 22 You who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who boast in the Torah, through your breaking the Torah, do you dishonor G-d? 24 For "THE NAME OF G-D IS BLASPHEMED AMONG THE GENTILES BECAUSE OF YOU," just as it is written.
Note: in context of what was being talked about.
I'm not saying that circumcision is nothing, because there is benefit for Scripture says so. We must read context. Talking about those who are of the faith and who is not! And no I'm not saying that Gentiles who obey Torah are Jews... That has to do with DNA not faith.
I don't see in your original posting where you get the conclusion that the MJTI "argues Messianics who deny Yeshua's divinity are OK, but Yeshua-faithful Messianics who broaden the application of Torah, or who broaden the composition of Israel, are Not-OK." The quote from the MJTI doesn't mention the later half of your conclusion.
Be that as it may, I know from personal experience that there are people in the Messianic community who feel that the One-Law or Two-House controversy is much more important than the Deity of Yeshua.
I, on the other hand, can't think of any issue that is more important than the Deity "question."
If Yeshua is God, and one refuses to worship Him, it is blasphemy. If Yeshua is not God, and one does worship Him, it is idoletry.
In both cases, the penalty under the Torah is death. This is serious business.
There is no similer penalty for believing that non-Jews should obey the Torah.
I've known writers like Kinzer who could only communicate with a rather limited audience, but I've also known writers of equal education and intelligence who were able to transmit the same information to a much wider group, all because they could adapt themselves to be able to write to that wider group.
The MJTI needs to find a writer with the ability to project a "broader voice".
"Kinzer may be very well educated, but he only seems to be able to write to an audience with a university level education. The whole world of faith isn't made up of Ph.Ds"
James, Yeshua mostly spoke to the public in cryptic parables that he later had to explain to his disciples (who mostly didn't get it) in private. I suppose he too could be criticized for being "too intellectual" for his audience (and may be he was!). In fact, he was asked to say things "plainly"!
However, what I don't get is the whole "Kinzer... could only communicate with a rather limited audience." I've read his works, but I've never had any issues understanding the points Kinzer makes - and English is not even my first language!
True, Kinzer doesn't write Sunday sermons that small children can grasp. It's up to the teachers, like yourself, to "translate" difficult things of theology to the level of the called "masses".
"I am not insane, most excellent Festus," Paul replied. "What I am saying is true and reasonable."
I believe that Deity of Moshiach is the most doctrine if not right there with the most important doctrine in Scripture! I think that many in the Messianic movement are denying the Deity of Yeshua is because they want to be accepted really bad by the Orthadox community (non believers).
Now I would really want to be accepted by the Orthadox community also but are we to do that at the expense of denying the Deity of Yeshua? That's a compromise that can't be made, at least for me!
How can the Eternal Word of G-d that came down from Heaven be anything less?
Yeshua had a reason for speaking cryptically. It wasn't as if he was unconscious of what he was doing. He deliberately hid the full meaning of his messages from the masses. I don't think that is Kinzer's intent here.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to be mean to Kinzer and I'm not saying he has to write for kindergartners, but he writes scholarly papers. That's what he does well. But can he, or anyone in authority in the MJTI, take the same material and communicate it to a wider audience?
Gene, I'm a professional writer and I work with software developers every day. I have to take what they've produced and write documentation that is appropriate to other developers who work for our customers. I also have to take that same information and rewrite it so it's understandable to the CEOs and other decision makers for those same customers (and most of these decision makers don't have the same technical understanding as their IT staff).
There are many, many people of faith who could benefit from the information being presented by MJTI, but who won't get past the first 10 pages because the information was written for a more erudite audience.
Gene, I know English isn't your first language and I'm always amazed at people who are bilingual. It's certainly not one of my gifts. I know you are intelligent and educated and are able to comprehend all this material. However, we have a tendency to believe people everywhere are just like us, and they're not. It's important to try to see a piece of documentation from points of view that aren't always our own.
Having a background in both writing and psychology helps me understand the art of communication and how we can limit our message by how we present it. Sometimes, it's important to limit your audience because of the needs of your audience. If Kinzer intends to deliver his message only to educated and scholarly people, then his message is worded correctly. That also means that "everyone else" isn't expected to receive any of Kinzer's information, or at least not from his documentation.
In a nutshell, that's the issue I have with these scholarly papers. I'm not personally criticizing Kinzer, I'm merely pointing out the boundaries that contain and limit his message. Again, if his intent is to limit his data, that's fine. We just need to be clear that what he presents isn't for general consumption.
"Sometimes, it's important to limit your audience because of the needs of your audience. If Kinzer intends to deliver his message only to educated and scholarly people, then his message is worded correctly."
Which would be fine - after all, it is the leaders who DO interact with the "masses" (I don't like this word) who will have to actually implement the practical aspects of the theology and explain it to lay people.
Besides, both you and I wrote on Bilateral Ecclesiology, in the way, I believe, that is easier for most folks to grasp. In fact, if you search for "Bilateral Ecclesiology" on Google, both of our blogs are on the first page of search results!
Since the "Deity issue" has taken on a life of it's own yet again, I thought I'd blog on it today: The Deity Problem.
Judah, Mark Kinzer is one of my VERY close friends, and in all fairness, you have completely mis-characterized his position, and it borders on Lashon Hara. Kinzer was NOT arguing as you say. I was at the forum, I have had many conversations with Kinzer personally, and what he was arguing for is that Messianic Jewish congregations not exclude Jewish non-Yeshua believers from our midst, in a continuity of peoplehood. He holds to the divinity of Yeshua, but realizes that Yeshua is Messiah not just of Jews who believe in Him, but also of those who do not. That is not how you are mis-characterizing him.
Judah, I appreciate you... but if you are going to go on a witch hunt, realize that you are slandering someone of high moral and ethical integrity, and the Lord will require it of you. I'm honestly saying this out of concern, not accusation.
"...and what he was arguing for is that Messianic Jewish congregations not exclude Jewish non-Yeshua believers from our midst, in a continuity of peoplehood."
Arguments about the differences between Jews and Christians aside, is this really so different than allowing "seekers" (non-believing people "exploring" Christianity but who have not made a "decision for Christ") to attend a church with Christians?
In other words, if a non-Messianic Jew wanted to "check out" Messianic Judaism, would you keep him or her from entering the synagogue until they became Messianic?
"In other words, if a non-Messianic Jew wanted to "check out" Messianic Judaism, would you keep him or her from entering the synagogue until they became Messianic?"
1. To cast doubt on Kinzer's commitment to Yeshua (to make him seem that he's willing to minimize Yeshua or an importan part of who he is to be accepted by mainstream Judaism).
2. To make a comparison between Messianic Jews' rejection of One-Law and Two-House theologies and acceptance of Jews who do not hold to Yeshua's divinity. Judah is asking why reject OL/TH beliefs but embrace those (Judah forgets to mention that "those" are Jews) who don't even believe in Yeshua!
I think I got that, Gene.
In my small congregation, we sometimes get many guests from all walks of life and theological perspectives. All of them are welcome, but that doesn't mean all of them will stay.
We are upfront about what we believe and we teach out of those beliefs. People can either choose to accept our beliefs and join us or, if we're not a good fit, they can go elsewhere. It's been rare that we've had to ask anyone to leave, but it happens every so often, if they're particularly disruptive.
Accept everyone into the house of God (people coming completely out of left field won't even approach, so you almost never have to deal with them). The vast majority of folks who have theologies at odds with the congregation's beliefs and values won't stay. Why not accept non-believing Jews and even the occasional OL or TH person into an MJ synagogue (and keep in mind, most OL/TH people won't choose to enter a BE organized group)?
Slander?At the very least such an accusation is hyperbole, more likely slander itself. To "slander" is to falsely accuse, to lie in order to damage another's reputation. The narrow limits of slander normally make those that accuse others of slander guilty of the crime themselves.
The fact remains that Mr. Kinzer's quotes are not provided to us in a vacuum. They come as no surprise to many of us.
Actually, Kinzer's quotes are provided in a vacuum. I mentioned this before but didn't get a response. We have some quotes to something he said recently as posted in the body of Judah's blog, but we don't have the context of the entire document or recording. It would be helpful to know the "whole picture", so to speak.
It wasn't a vacuum because we have previously heard similar things. Kesher Journal has had hints of this thinking.
When questioned, there is apparent backtracking. Words like "deity" and "divinity" are employed, when direct questions appear to be answered. Yet the words mean different things to different people. The fact is, there are serious questions as to BE's commitment to "I and the Father are One" understanding - at least among their so-called "elites."
If you doubt that, dig deeper when you pose a question such as, "Do you believe in the deity of Yeshua?"
"Yes" can mean something different than you think.
Rick, I meant that the current quotes Judah posted on his blog are extracted from a particular document. All I'm saying is that I'd like to read the whole document. Nothing more complicated than that.
As far as the deity of Yeshua is concerned, I've posted a little something on my blog and am playing (you should pardon the expression) "devil's advocate" with interesting results.
The deity issue isn't just a matter of intellectual and scholarly debate, but one of high emotions as well. Regardless of whether or not a person believes the Messiah must be God, it doesn't make them "evil" for having that opinion. Virtually all observant (non-Messianic) Jews on earth don't believe that the coming Messiah is going to be God.
Thanks for being concerned about me.
I was drawing attention to an interesting observation: Yeshua-faithful Jews like Dan Benzvi (and half-Jews like myself) are frowned upon in MJTI circles because of our views on Torah and Israel, but Yeshua-denying Jews are to be welcomed. My post was drawing attention to this. My post did not claim Kinzer rejects Yeshua in any way.
If you are still concerned, feel free to contact me, I'm willing to listen.
@James, I completely agree with you. I know and love not just a few who do not think Messiah can be G-d.
What concerns me is folks saying one thing within their circle, then crafting different language for those outside.
I can agree with you there, Rick. Especially if organization is one which is trying to educate others in the ways of God, they have a responsibility to be transparent (unlike the Government) and express their actual, official stance. FFOZ did this abundantly when they changed their theological position and it cost them dearly.
I, on the other hand, seem to be all too upfront with my opinions and especially my questions. Of course, on my "Searching" blog, I only represent myself and my primary student is me.
I, on the other hand, seem to be all too upfront with my opinions and especially my questions.
I don't know how that could be possible. There are far too many people in Messianic Judaism that are playing language games in order to keep from voicing their real position. I see FFOZ's shift in a different way. I saw their shift long before they made it public, in the way they split hairs in their use of words. I see the same issue in the so-called "deity" issue. Fearful of losing support, some are far too careful with what they say regarding the issue.
I appreciate your candidness. Maybe the difference is you have no financial risk either way?
I haven't been on here for a few days and this morning I find that you have been saying for days that Kinzer does not believe in the divinity of Yeshua, that he says one thing in public statements but backtracks and states it differently in more private venues.
Please prove your accusation or retract it and publicly apologize.
If you fail to do one or the other, we will know to take all your future comments as completely lacking in integrity.
you have been saying for days that Kinzer does not believe in the divinity of Yeshua, that he says one thing in public statements but backtracks and states it differently in more private venues.
Nonsense. I did not accuse Mr. Kinzer of anything. I do not know, nor do I care what he "believes."
I am not interested in creedal declarations myself; but some in BE make statements regarding "deity" and "divinity" that are interpreted by others as ontological and creedal when they are not necessarily intended that way. In some cases it is deceptive, in others a matter of hermeneutics. My comments were merely a caution that the words do not mean the same thing to all people. BE walks a tightrope trying to maintain a viable relationship with "trinitarian" Christianity while trying to find compatible language with traditional Judaism.
Here is what I was speaking of when I said that Judah was not quoting Mr. Kinzer in a vacuum.
There are also "negative boundary" discussions in the 2008 Kesher Journal.
"I was drawing attention to an interesting observation: Yeshua-faithful Jews like Dan Benzvi (and half-Jews like myself) are frowned upon in MJTI circles because of our views on Torah and Israel, but Yeshua-denying Jews are to be welcomed."
Himango, I am not familiar with your background at all and just caught this in one of your last posts. You classify yourself as a "half-jew". I am curious how you define that statement and how you ended up coining yourself one since even the most structured in the MJ movement (MJTI/MJRC) accept both patrilineal/matrilineal (directly verifiable that is)?
Than how can the writer Derek be a Jew?

Fort Myers Beach man loses two friends to Hurricane Ian
by Gage Goulding
FORT MYERS BEACH, Fla. – Hurricane Ian has taken the lives of more than 50 people in Lee County alone. Many of those come from the barrier islands, including severely damaged Fort Myers Beach.
Mike Yost knows the pain of losing everything he has, plus some. Two of his good friends stayed on the island and didn't survive the category-four winds and historic storm surge.
Both Mitchell Pacyna and Daymon Utterback were killed while trying to flee the rising storm surge.
"He was the camera king. He was always there with that camera," Yost said of Pacyna.
They said a picture's worth a thousand words, but what happened to his friends last Thursday leaves Yost with little to say.
"A guy that was, was like a bright light for everybody, and to go out that way is just horrible," he said.
Pacyna was the kind of man that lived for the memories, and wanted to remember them too.
"He always carried this little blue camera everywhere," Yost said. "No matter where we were, he would get pictures. Before we would leave somewhere, 'Alright everyone get in.'"
When Ian rolled around onto Fort Myers Beach, Pacyna did what he's known for best: pressing record.
"How sad to see," Pacyna said in a video shared on Facebook. "If it gets a little higher, [we] may have to go on the roof."
He posted online until his final moments.
"His last text was, 'We're terrified,'" Yost said.
Just moments later, Pacyna, along with his wife Mary and their friend jumped into the water from the second floor of their flooding and collapsing home.
"Mary was still holding on a railing, but Mitch couldn't hold on anymore and was swept out into the back bay," Yost said. "Somebody like that should never have to go through anything like that."
It wasn't until the next day that Mike learned what happened. It's the same day he found out Utterback died on the island too.
"I said okay, where's Daymon. And he pointed down to the house and Daymon was hanging out the window," Yost said. "It's an image that I'll never get out of my head. Ever."
You might not know Utterback by name, but if you've been to Fort Myers Beach, you've likely seen him around.
"He was known as 'The Pirate Guy.' People are like 'Oh you know The Pirate Guy?' And they'll always say 'You mean the guy with the parrot or the guy that looks like Jack Sparrow.'"
It's what made Daymon happy, his hobby. It's also what made him such a special friend, not just to Mike, but to so many on the island.
"They already knew how I felt about them so I wouldn't get all mushy like that or anything, but I'd probably tell them both thanks."
It's a thanks for being his friends, a thanks for the memories and a thanks for all the pictures.
While he might not have the words now, the photos he has share a thousand stories.
Forecast: Getting more humid this weekend

Summer holidays are quickly approaching. You've been waiting for weeks and now it's time to go on holiday! Many of you have decided to travel in Europe, but others are going across the world. Once you've decided on your destination and itinerary, there's one thing left to do – prepare for your trip. If you prepare before leaving home, you can enjoy a stress-free, relaxing holiday.
Research to see if any administrative documents are required for the country where you're travelling and make sure they're valid (identification, passport and visa).
Some countries outside the EU require that your passport must be valid for more than six months (starting from the beginning of your holiday).
Also check your plane tickets and take out cancellation insurance.
Because even on holiday, you need insurance, Foyer is here to help with travel insurance providing essential coverage, such as baggage and cancellation insurance, which can provide coverage for your entire family.
Visit your GP six weeks before you leave and make sure your vaccinations are up-to-date (required for some countries). Prepare your travel medications and check that any allergies, ongoing treatment and medication have been taken care of. Request your European health insurance card from the CNS (Luxembourg's National Health Service), as this is essential to facilitate medical care in foreign countries.
For more safety tips, read our article "Burglary prevention tips for a stress-free holiday"
Even for seasoned travellers, preparing for your trip can be stressful.
We've created a special summer holidays check-list, "Holiday essentials", so you don't forget anything before you leave.

Q: How lazy load an external module in Angular 5? I'm trying to lazy load an external module (I wrote) into a main application, and I've got some errors, but first of all I wanted to ask you whether I have to build into /dist the external module first, or I have to use the source files?
Both main and external app/module are written with Angular 5

Trade Mark East Africa (TMEA) was established with the aim of growing sustainable, inclusive prosperity in East Africa through trade. They believe that this will require significant investments in working to expand, and potentially formalise, informal trade. We were requested to deliver insights to support the design of their second phase of operations, viz.
To also understand how TMEA could position itself to develop structured programmes aimed at growing and formalising informal trade in tandem with their objective of inclusive, sustainable prosperity through increased trade.
The informal economy of East Africa must be addressed strategically for the sustainable impact of trade related growth initiatives in the region to take root and flourish. Recognized for its size, reach and importance to livelihoods, it is still nonentheless considered terra incognita by both institutional and market researchers as well as business analysts.
We approached the borderland as an ecosystem in its own right, distinct from the more agriculture dominated economy across rural East Africa, with greater emphasis on trade and services. The vast majority of this activity falls within the informal sector, as is the case with the bulk of the region's economy. Considering it an ecosystem allowed us to take a holistic view of the entire operating environment of the borderland economy.
Our second decision was to step back from the labels of informal economy and informal trade with all their contradictory definitions, categorization and implications of illegality to consider only what is colloquially known as biashara. The kiSwahili word biashara can mean business, commerce, trade, the business enterprise itself as well as barter. This choice included a far greater range of activities being conducted at the border than just the conventional meaning of the English word "trade".
At the same time, it excluded tax evasion by formal firms, smuggling, and other illicit activities at the border, since these are not considered biashara per se. They are commonly referred to as magendo, meaning contraband.


In 1922 the Sorosis Club or sorority, a women´s club in Lakeland, was organized. Named after the first incorporated women´s club in America, the Sorosis Cloub of New York, the Sorosis Club´s mission included service to the community, as well as social and cultural activities. This property was purchased in 1925 as the site for its new clubhouse. Plans for the Italian Renaissance building by W.B. Talley (1871-1956), a Lakeland architect, were approved in 1926, and construction was completed by N.L. Snelson in 1927 at a cost of $42,000. This clubhouse was the first community center in the city. The Italian Renaissance style was most popular in the United States between 1890 and 1935. Typical elements of the style include the symmetrical design to the front of the building, a flat roof with a low wall around it, wrought-iron railings, recessed porches with arches, and small classical columns. Goldenrod, the club flower of The Sorosis Club, is stenciled below the roof. Two large stone lanterns on each side of the front walk represent knowledge and leadership. The detailing of this building is unique in Lakeland, and unusual in the Central Florida region.
