Pakistan Tehreek-in-Insaaf (PTI) leader almost unknown to the public eye, Usman Buzdar has finally been elected the much-awaited position of the Chief Minister (CM) of Punjab ending the rule of Sharif family in their heartland after 10 years. Usman Buzdar, belongs to the tribal area of Barthi in Dera Ghazi Khan, became 20th CM of Punjab after obtaining 186 against PML-N's Hamza Shahbaz, son of former Punjab CM Shahbaz Sharif, who secured 159 votes.
The nomination of Usman Buzdar has taken many by surprise because the former CM, Shahbaz Sharif, has set a very high pattern to fulfill the role, however, the fact that Usman Buzdar's political background is lesser known and he has a fresh slate, and it is hoped that the selected chief minister will perform as per to the requirements of the role and will deliver as per the party manifesto and expectation of the citizens.
Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan personally prefers Usman Buzdar due to, as Khan says, middle-class status and the fact that he has witnessed the problems of the people first hand. Imran Khan is of the belief that a person like Usman Buzdar is going to perform because he has witnessed the pain of the nation along with them.
People at present are extremely upset by the mainstream politicians. They want to see new faces in politics to serve, and to make them believe that a significant change is taking place in the scenario of Pakistani politics.
Usman Buzdar will be a stirring scene in the Punjab Assembly, although a lot of responsibility lays on his shoulders because Punjab is important for Pakistani politics. It will be a big test for Usman Buzdar to switch Punjab into a PTI centric region. It is also known that even understanding the politics of this province alone requires a lot of political expertise.
PTI will face a lot of pressure, particularly with its strategy to field new candidate for CM Punjab. On one side Usman Buzdar has to be proficient in lobbying, handling the pressure from the opposition parties, while as whole PTI too has to deliver the manifesto of the party. It is hoped that the new faces in the political scenario will bring about a positive move.
Usman Buzdar needs to perform and deliver as per the party manifesto and expectation of citizens.

It is odd that top textual critics do not refer to these alleged missing verses in their academic work. For example 'The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture: The Effect of Early Christological Controversies on the Text of the New Testament' by Bart D. Ehrman contains an exhaustive survey of NT manuscripts and does not mention a problem with John 9:38 and John 20:28.
The New Revised Standard Version (a translation from the Greek manuscripts most preferred by scholars) does not mention any textual problems at these points.
You might have a stronger case if the experts in the field (rather than nonspecialists) also recognised that 'essential proof texts are missing'. They apparently do not.
This gives one case for concern.
Top critics do refer to these issues, unless you do not accept the NA28 to be a top academic work? How does that reasoning function? Furthermore, I do not believe Dr. Ehrman's work was a critical edition with a critical apparatus, so why expect tea from a wine house? We're dealing with two different genres of TC literature completely and the conflation is odd at best.
Neither the NRSV or NET mention these points because they're not critical editions, but translations based on them, they have TC, TN and SN notes, not TC critical apparatuses.
Not to forego the recommendation of his works by Dr. William Varner, Timothy Mitchell (PhD Bham Uni and Associate Editor for Scripture and Interpretation at Eleutheria Graduate Student Journal), is used by the Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary for courses on NTTC, as well as by Dr. Stephen Carlson (https://irci.acu.edu.au/people/dr-stephen-c-carlson/).
Will you be responding to James White on this one?
is this group you are referring like b hebrew discussion group?
The Khabouris Codex is a handwritten duplicate of an original canon written as early as 165 AD. Hence, it predates (by more than a century) the oldest known Greek canons of the New Testament.
… and God knows best !
It's a vorlage dating based on philology. It's not realistic and I'm not aware of it being cited often if it at all in NA28.

4. Mehr should be agreed upon.
Nikah can be done over the phone, it is Sharie and legal in all respects. and the ulamas in many Countries including Indonesia have also given its fatwa that Nikah over the Phone is according to Sharia In Indonesia It have done by 2 pairs of bride and bride groom. One pair the woman in Jakarta and the man in the USA and the another pair the bride in Jakarta and the bride groom in Australia. In modern world and in the era of information technology it will be easy. Even we can see the face of someone who speaks on the phone Reference.
The better and purer way to get married to the woman who lives in another country and cannot personally attend the Nikaah ceremony for any reason, would be if the woman would appoint a 'wakeel' or give the authority to someone to marry them. One of the main conditions of Islamic Nikaah is the offer from the groom, and the acceptance from the bride or her appointed 'wakeel'; and the two witnesses to this contract. If the witnesses are such that they are able to recognize and identify the voice of the woman over the phone, and confirm that the woman is indeed the same whom the man has offered to marry; there is absolutely no harm if the marriage is done through the telephone. But if one does perform the Nikah offer and acceptance through the telephone, it would be deemed a perfectly legal marriage in the sight of Islam and Shariah.

WATCHING OUR WAY ACROSS AMERICA: COUNTING DOWN TO THE GOODY ROAD TRIP (THE OWEN EDITION) – NIGHT 21: THE JUNGLE BOOK!
Wow, the penultimate WATCHING OUR WAY ACROSS AMERICA post. How about that? Less than 5 days and only 1 post until we get in the KAA….
…and head cross country on our trip. Pfft, I know it's sad to see these things come to an end. But don't be soo BALOO.
I totally plan on blogging throughout the trip. So there will be a ton more about this trip to Shere….
Pfft. I know. With the puns. I can't help myself. I am SUPER excited for the trip. And when I get SUPER excited for things, the puns come flying.
But fine. I know I've overdone it. We should get on with the post. No more monkeying around.
Thus guy? Moves for days.
Also, if you haven't guessed, the movie we are covering today is The Jungle Book. Also, if you haven't guessed that already, I am a little worried about you. Like, seriously. Everything ok? Hrm. Ok. Just don't operate any heavy machinery.
So I am just realizing how hard this day is going to be to cover. Especially the second half. Well, let's give it a shot. So we are going to wake up – last day at the HoJos BOOOOOO – and get all out crap together. I feel like this is going to be sad and stressful at the same time. It's gonna be sadessful. And then we will bring our bags down to check out for the day.
Oh and AND. So typically those I mentioned are the only characters you see here. But…for a limited time we get to see MICKEY. Whoop Whoop. Pretty awesome we get to eat with Mickey on our last day. I am also five.
OK so fine…I got a lot to write about after all. But here's where it gets tough. We have NO IDEA what we are doing after this. Being that it's Owen's birthday, he gets to pick whatever park he wants to visit and whatever he wants to eat for lunch that day.
I really have no idea what he is going to pick here. My gut tells me Disneyland. But we will have spent two days at Disneyland and only one day at California Adventure so who really knows. He may want more time in Cars Land or he may want to ride the Guardians of the Galaxy ride.
But yeah, no clue. Can't wait to see what he picks. Happy Birthday buddy.
So awesome time – Steph joined us for Jungle Book night!!!!!!
Always good news on account of Steph is cool. Like other side of the pillow cool.
We actually had a ton of food for this one. So Nickie, the boys and I went out to the grocery store to pick up some essentials – gummy bears, dried bananas, teddy grahams, frosted animal crackers. Yeah, these are the essentials in a Disney house.
Sorry – I know. Like I said, excitement=puns.
But Stephanie also was like…oh, Indian food. So I was all, "ok, I'll order it." And order I did. Naan, samosas, chicken tikka masala, lamb kebab, seekh kebab, chicken pakoras. It was glorious.
Naan a Naan a Naan a Naan a hey hey hey goodbye.
Legit classed that sandwich up.
Oh and for dessert we did buy "Baloo"-berry pie. But we seriously couldn't eat it. On account of full.
We often have done the zoo as an activity for Jungle Book night, but since we just did that last weekend for The Lion King, we had to change things up. So we decided to play Charades. Charades is a lot like the Heads-Up app but with a ton more categories. And one of those categories is animals. And we played it where the players had to get the guesser to guess the animal by making noises rather than shouting clues. Super fun.
Of course though, it didn't end with just animals. We went through a number of categories – Disney characters, Hits of the 90's, The Simpsons, Harry Potter, Heroes and Villains, Sports Legends. Once we get charadin', there really ain't no stopping us. We started the movie like an hour later because we couldn't stop playing.
Here is my take on The Jungle Book. For the record, when I re-read it, I got a little misty-eyed. This doesn't mean you will. It simply means that I am a girl.
Also, what a coincidence that The Jungle Book was also the penultimate movie in my countdown. Always a bridesmaid. Never a bride.
Oh right – Owen's take.
I like the Jungle Book for many reasons. My favorite part in The Jungle Book is when they sing "The Bare Necessities." Because it's singing but at the same time, it's funny. I also like the part at King Louie's ruins when they sing "I Wanna Be Like You." My favorite character is Baloo because he is funny and he's caring towards Mowgli. And he is nice to him. I liked when we played Charades too. And I liked the naan bread.

The panel of judges has been secured for The Next Great Idea (NGI) 2018 Oswego County Business Plan Competition, according to Austin Wheelock, deputy director for Operation Oswego County and Co-Chair of NGI.
"The Next Great Idea is the result of business and community leaders joining together to launch a competition that encourages entrepreneurs to commit to new business development in Oswego County and offers a $50,000 prize to help make a dream come true," Wheelock said.
Judges for the event are Adam Gagas, founder of Breakwall Asset Management; Carla Deshaw, executive dean of Cayuga Community College Fulton Campus; Ron Tascarella, Jr., vice president at Pathfinder Bank; John Fitzgibbons, owner of the Fitzgibbons Agency; Chena Tucker, executive director of the Oswego County Workforce Development Board; David Dano, Business Finance Director at Operation Oswego County; Dr. Sarfraz Mian, professor at SUNY Oswego; Allison Nelson, owner of Nelson Law, Shane Stepien, president of Step One Creative; Vinny Lobdell, Jr., of HealthWay Home Products and the Kallet Theater; and George Broadwell, Jr., of Broadwell Hospitality Group.
Judges were selected based on their local business knowledge and expertise in the fields of operations, management, financing, and entrepreneurship.
The first phase of the 2018 NGI Competition is currently underway and the judges are reviewing business concept proposals. This year's competition received a record number of business concept proposals with 33 submissions by the March 1st deadline. The proposals represent a vast range of industries including tourism, manufacturing, technology, retail, hospitality, and agri-business. Approximately half of the submissions were by women entrepreneurs and the vast majority of submissions were from Oswego County residents.
The entire competition will consist of three phases that will require semi-finalists advancing to the second phase to develop full business plans and, in the third phase, finalists will make their "pitch" in person to the panel of judges. This panel will determine which proposals will be selected to enter the subsequent phases culminating in the winner being chosen and honored at a luncheon on September 18, 2018. Ideas that are not selected will receive written feedback from the judges of how to improve their proposals for the future.
The event web site, www.oswegocounty.org/NGI/index.htm, includes an overview of the event, a competition timeline, guidelines, details on the $50,000 prize, sponsors, partners and contact information. If the winning business will require additional funding, the $50,000 can potentially be leveraged for financing in partnership with local banks, the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency, the cities of Oswego and Fulton community development offices, and the U.S. Small Business Administration.
"The NGI partnership believes that Oswego County offers a wealth of resources and opportunities for businesses to start and flourish here. We are all extremely excited to see what great ideas the competition participants generate," Wheelock said.

When perfect strangers find out, they shake your hand, as if, by osmosis, you can transfer the secrets of long life to them."

Morrie Markoff signing copies of his book "Keep Breathing" at the LA Times Festival of Books at USC Saturday, April 22, 2017, Booth 35.
… and then the last book was sold.
Morrie tells the stories of his Metal Sculptures
Three generations of Markoff's
The Ballerina was my first metal sculpture. In the 1960s, I was inspired while fixing a part in the toilet in the Los Angeles appliance store I co-owned.
The writer at work March 2017
It looked like a ballerina tutu and so I pulled out my machinist tools and created this sculpture. I didn't have a background in art, I was a trained machinist turned vacuum salesman and entrepreneur. Over the years I created many sculptures, then one day I stopped. At the age of 100, after a chance meeting at a bus stop, I was offered my first gallery showing. Now, I am working on a memoir of my life, from New York tenements to the Los Angeles condo I live in with my wife of more than 75 years, Betty. Now, at the age of 103, I have finished my memoirs and am working on getting them published.
When I was living at the "project" at Avenel, it was usual for me to go to an area in Griffith Park where chess players congregated. I, too, am a chess player, although a mediocre one, and with a good opponent I would last for about six moves. I didn't care as I enjoyed playing. The counterpoint was this old geezer at the end of the bench with the stump of a cigar in his mouth who was reading the sport pages, completely uninterested.
One day I was sitting reading and this family took a park seat opposite me across the road. I noticed the little girl put her head in her mother's lap, and was soon asleep. In about 10 minutes, so was the mother. The man, who was reading, shortly fell asleep. What was odd to me was that he never let go of the paper.
The fourth was a pair of sixties hippies returning from a protest demonstration still carrying a sign.
This was inspired by my daughter Judith playing the guitar.
This was inspired by watching Ben's mother overfeed "Spunky" in a highchair. There will be more information on Ben and Spunky in my memoir.
Another sculpture inspired by my daughter, this one is about her first marriage. Judith opened the successful Gorky's restaurant in the 1980s, which I discuss more in my memoirs.
Inspiration from a scene I had seen in Mexico City. Seven steelworkers, tugging, dragging, pulling a beam into place so it could be in a position of hoisting. It was a hot, humid day. The men were sweaty and encouraged each other to move that beam through muddy ground.
A little sculpture of me shining shoes when I was a shoe shine boy at age 10 in East Harlem was inspired by an old duffer, my best customer, whom I write about in my memoir.
Titled "The Schoolchildren," this is the only piece I sold. I regret parting with it and never sold another sculpture again.
Joy is a sculpture inspired by my brother-in-law Don, an actor, dancer, and director in New York. Don, and his husband Wilkie, married for over 25 years, were one of the early courageous couples to openly declare their gayness.
The last sculpture I made, my favorite, is called "The Family," the most ambitious because of the complexity of the challenges.
All told, I produced about 30 pieces, one-figured to six. Many I have given away to family and friends, and one, at the urging of Betty, I sold, which I now regret. It was a school scene of children sitting at their desks in various poses, one of the first I attempted with four figures.
It had been exhibited in a city art show at Barnsdall Park with a N.F.S. tag on it (not for sale). When I went to pick it up, two women were waiting for me. They had fallen in love with it and wanted to buy it. I said no. Leaving me their phone number, in case I changed my mind, we parted. Arriving at home, Betty asked me how the show went.
I told her two women who fell in love with the school scene offered me $100 for it. Betty said, "make them happy, sell it to them, you can make another."
My guess is that it took eight hours to make. When I sold it, I used that money to buy a new acetylene welding set.
Unthinking, I said sure, I called them. They came, paid me the money, and with my sculpture lovingly locked into one of their hands, left smiling, like I like to see customers leave.
I never sold another. I am working on getting a museum to obtain my collection. Considering my age, I hope they respond fast.
I never strived to achieve the major milestones in my life from a gallery showing at age 100 to my diamond anniversary, but people seem to think I have some advice for them.
The title of my memoir is the only advice I have for anyone wishing to reach 100 years old.
Good Luck and Keep Breathing
Be sure to check back on updates on my book.
(Possible Sequel? Morrie wrote this on July 29, 2020, as he is working toward writing another book …
"Still Breathing" Dedicated to my wife Betty. For eighty years we traveled the road of life. No better person ever lived.)

"Keep Breathing: In Essay by Mary Lu Coughlin"
Conscientious humans seek to learn from the wisdom of those who lived before us. Morrie Markoff has learned a lot during his century plus on this planet, and has lived through eras that remain ever relevant, given what is going on in the world today. Morrie Markoff's book is full of wonderful life lessons and information on eras that few alive today remember. And he writes with humility, humor, and wit. A couple times, an anecdote had me laughing out loud, and I still smile thinking of his stories. A magnificent read from a man who continues to lead a wonderful life.

In memory of Frank Wright, well-loved mainstay of Toronto's jazz scene
By Adam Feibel
Frank Wright performing at the TD Toronto Jazz Festival in 2017.
The Canadian jazz community is mourning the loss of Frank Wright, the widely beloved vibraphonist who had been an important part of Toronto's music scene since the 1950s.
Beginning his career as a regular performer on Toronto's after-hours club circuit, Wright went on to become one of Canada's most highly respected jazz musicians. Known for his endlessly kind and gentle presence, Wright worked with several of the country's most celebrated jazz icons, performing at major festivals and stages as renowned as Carnegie Hall.
Wright died the morning of Sunday, May 16, due to complications related to COVID-19, according to Toronto jazz advocate and publicist Fay Olson. He was 92.
All four of Wright's children — Kevin, Norm, Diane and Donna — were with him (either at his bedside or on speakerphone) at the time of his death.
"This is a big loss for the jazz community in Toronto," said JAZZ.FM91 host Heather Bambrick. "We've lost a fantastic musician, and even more importantly, one the kindest, most gentle and sweetest of men."
Born on May 5, 1929, Wright began his music career in the '50s, appeared regularly with clarinetist Henry Cuesta at Toronto's Bourbon Street and touring with him to California jazz festivals. He was also a frequent performer with Florida's Garden Avenue Seven on tour across the U.S.
In the mid-'80s, Wright formed a quartet with drummer Archie Alleyne, and they were often featured at the famous George's Spaghetti House. Throughout his career, he worked with celebrated names including Joe Williams, Norm Amadio, Jim Galloway, Rob McConnell and Peter Appleyard.
Wright was a featured soloist in the Bob DeAngelis Champagne Symphony during their internationally renowned Benny Goodman Tribute concerts, including a triumphant performance at Carnegie Hall in 2008. Wright's trios and quartets frequently appeared at major Canadian jazz festivals. He even played for Prince Philip in a private performance during one of the late Duke of Edinburgh's visits to Toronto.
Later in his career, Wright was the leader of the hard-swinging Canadian Jazz Quartet, the ever-evolving group of elite musicians formed by Gary Benson in 1987. Playing with guitarist Ted Quinlan, bassist Pat Collins and drummer Don Vickery, Wright upheld "the standard of excellence in jazz in Canada."
In 2006, Wright was nominated as jazz instrumentalist of the year during the National Jazz Awards.

Jane Monheit on new album Come What May: 'It was a total joy to make this record'


NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) - Cyprus scrapped all limits on daily cash withdrawals from banks Friday in a significant loosening of capital controls that were imposed following the country's painful financial rescue deal a year ago.
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) � Cyprus scrapped all limits on daily cash withdrawals from banks Friday in a significant loosening of capital controls that were imposed following the country's painful financial rescue deal a year ago.
The easing of restrictions comes with the steady bolstering of confidence and stability in the banking system, the Finance Ministry said.
Before Friday's decree, the daily withdrawal limits were 300 euros ($412.8) for individuals and 500 euros ($688) for companies.
The decree also increases the amount of money that a person can move within Cyprus to 50,000 euros ($68,800) from 20,000 euros. The amount for companies was doubled to 200,000 euros ($275,180).
It also lifts a ban on accessing money in existing fixed term deposits before their maturity date. To encourage people who had pulled their money out of banks in the rescue's aftermath to deposit with banks again, the decree allows people to open new accounts in any bank as long as they are a fixed term deposit of 5,000 euros or more.
Previously, opening a new account in a bank other than one where a customer already had an account was prohibited to prevent people from moving money from bank to bank and potentially starving a troubled lender of needed cash.
Cypriot authorities imposed the controls to head off a run because a key clause in its 10 billion-euro rescue plan involved the seizure of almost half of uninsured deposits in the country's largest bank and closure of its second-largest lender. The plan was negotiated with other eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund.
A ban on unfettered money transfers abroad remains in place. Authorities hope to eliminate that restriction by the end of this year.

Wis. storms affect Chicago travelers
July 23, 2010 (CHICAGO) The cancellations have affected some passengers at Chicago's O'Hare airport, and some airline passengers traveling to Chicago from Milwaukee are stranded at the Wisconsin airport Friday morning.
All flights in and out of Milwaukee were canceled until 12 p.m. Friday. However, there are back-up plans. One airline was bussing passengers to O'Hare.
The Amond family, for example, was to trying to fly from Milwaukee to Chicago for a funeral.
"Glad to be here and able to make it tonight. So yeah, it was nice they were able to accommodate us," Kate Amond told ABC7 Chicago.
The Amonds witnessed this storm first-hand in southern Wisconsin. In Jefferson, a storm chaser caught video of a funnel cloud.
"We just headed home the. They were telling us to stay at home and to not even do any traveling between Madison and Milwaukee. They said the roads were going to be terrible," Jeff Amond said.
In Waukegan, winds snapped tree branches, and there were power outages.
Downtown and throughout Chicago's south suburbs, heat will be the weather story throughout the day, but some residents say they are hearty and ready.
"It's hot out, but we're Chicagoans. We should be use to all this crazy weather. We get 30 below in the winter. We should be good with a couple hundred in the summer," Armando Medina said.
When asked what he was going to do to beat the heat, Mark Boyle said:
"Iced coffee, and I'll be going inside some air conditioning. But you know, it's better than 10 degrees, 20 degrees and so, I'll take it any day."

This is a classic dish from Puerto Rico and the best way to describe it is by calling it a lasagna because of its layers.
This Puerto Rican Lasagna uses sweet fried plantains instead of lasagna noodles. The meat is spiced ground beef or as we call it, picadillo. Picadillo came to Puerto Rico via Cuba, and we have adopted it because of its versatility. I usually make a batch and divide it. Part of it goes into my picadillo, and the rest is reserved for our famous empanadas or meat patties. I add a few other ingredients to the meat for those. As time goes by I will show you the wonders of picadillo.
This is not your mom's lasagna! (Unless your mom was Puerto Rican, of course.) This dish has an amazing flavor profile, combining the sweet plantain with the savory beef and the tomato-infused sofrito. It might soon become your favorite way to enjoy lasagna!
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and add the onions, cooking them until they are soft and translucent. Add the pepper, garlic and sofrito and cook, stirring, for a few minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce, season with salt and pepper, and cook for another few minutes. Add the meat, breaking it up as it cooks. Continue cooking until meat is done and liquid has evaporated but not completely dry. You will need a little moisture.
Heat oil, add the sliced plantains and cook until golden. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Pour half of the beaten eggs onto a greased mold. Start to layer the plantains to cover the bottom of the mold. Top with a layer of meat and a layer of string beans. Continue layering and top with a final layer of plantain. Pour the rest of the beaten egg over the plantain layer and prick with a fork to let the egg absorb and not sit on top. You do not want it to look like an omelet… you want the shine of the egg.
Preheat your oven to 350º F. Place the mold in the oven and cook for about 30 to 40 minutes, until the egg has cooked and the meat is heated through. The surface of the piñón should be golden and springy to the touch.

The process is going to be long and difficult — when you're tearing it down and building it back up, there's no way around that — but the promise is that, in the end, it'll be worth it.
The Giants aren't at the end yet. They're barely past the beginning of their rebuild under Farhan Zaidi. But the signs are undeniable now — the Giants looked poised to make good on that promise.
Reasons for optimism always show up in subtle ways at spring training. There's the positive inning from a young pitcher or a developing hitter taking a walk after years of swinging at everything. Those little things should not be overlooked, but don't make mountains out of molehills — every team has those in camp. Still, fans should take solace in the number of little, positive things we've seen from the Giants' next generation of players in Arizona.
But the real reason to think that everything is on track for future success — the kind of winning that isn't cyclical, but sustainable — comes from the big names. The kind of young players that Giants fans have been told for years now would make up not just the roster, but the core of the team's future lineups. The players who will make that lineup one of the best in baseball.
It's a tall order, no doubt. But when 21-year-old Heliot Ramos rockets an outside fastball the opposite way over a tall right-field wall in Goodyear, it's impossible not to believe.
There's Major League talent, and then there are guys like Ramos — players who, if developed right, can turn into not just regular players, but All-Stars; daily centerpieces of lineups that compete for titles every year.
Those kinds of players are unmistakable to laypeople like us. You only need to hear the sound of the ball coming off their bats. It's different.

The beauty of baseball is also its challenge — one player can't do it all. It's an individual sport masquerading as a team sport, and to be a successful team, you need waves of elite talent.
The Zaidi regime has proven in its first two years that it can find that kind of talent. Mike Yastrzemski is an All-Star caliber player the Giants found at the scrap heap. They have developed a reputation around baseball as a place for starters to go to get their groove back. The team's bullpen has been rebuilt in the last two seasons — after years of trotting out down-and-out starters and crafty veterans, the Giants now boast flamethrowers and spin gods all the way down the bench.
There's no doubt, in my mind, at least, that if Zaidi wanted to build a team that could win a wild card spot every season, he could do it. Despite inheriting what was widely known around baseball as the game's toughest roster to rebuild — personnel-wise — he has effectively done that. The Giants' goal this year is to make the postseason and while the odds aren't in their favor (roughly 10 percent, according to my averaging of favorite sportsbooks), it's hardly a ridiculous notion.
But that's not what Zaidi wants to build. That's small market thinking.
Of course, no one would complain if this team did make the postseason, but the goal is to build a title contender that will sustain — one that will come in waves and never relent. The goal is to beat the Dodgers, but to beat them in any meaningful way, you have to get on their level.
Ramos has been sold as part of that equation. If you didn't buy before this spring, now's the time.
Joey Bart is another part. His offseason adjustments that have his hands more active and his stance a bit more closed off have him scorching the ball in Arizona. He also had a homer Sunday.

Alexander Canario, Hunter Bishop, and Marco Luciano are right behind them.
These are young players. Their time isn't now. In some cases, they're a few years away. But they can be the core of this team's renaissance, and this spring, they're showing their potential isn't merely conceptual.
Every indication is that these guys will be worth the wait — that they are going to make good on the Giants' promise that if you do a rebuild right the first time, it'll be a long time before you ever have to do it again.

Since 2013, people of all faiths have come together to recognize February 1st as World Hijab Day. Founded by Nazma Khan, the day supports the right of Muslim women to wear the headscarf or "hijab" in observance of Islam. The U.S. Constitution and civil rights laws protect everyone's rights to practice his or her faith, whether it be through prayer, religious study, or wearing religious garb. Our highest laws defend American Muslims from discrimination and harassment targeting their faith. These laws extend from the schoolyard, to the workplace, to areas of public accommodations. No matter how strong our laws, we know that Muslims in America are experiencing harassment, discrimination, and even violent hate crimes.
In schools: A recent report from CAIR California showed that 29% of Muslim students who wear headscarves have experienced offensive physical interaction. This includes, but is not limited to, pulling someone's hijab. Shockingly, 27% of Muslim students have experienced discrimination coming from their own teachers. We affirm that no student should feel threatened just because he or she wears a religious garb. We further affirm that no student should feel afraid of being physically or verbally abused because of his or her religion.
Public Places: According to the FBI, anti-Muslim hate crimes rose by a striking 67% nationwide. Incidents of harassment and violence have occurred in public places such as grocery stores, parks, and on transportation. Regardless of venue, a Muslim woman is always legally protected to wear the hijab and deserves to feel safe.
Civil rights should never be selective or subjective; rather, they must encompass and protect everyone equally. Attempts to infringe upon these rights will undoubtedly face legal and social repercussions. It is more important now than ever to raise awareness about the rights of Muslim women, and by extension, of all people. February 1st, World Hijab Day, is an affirmation of these truths and our month long campaign is dedicated to hold intact the right of religious freedom for all peoples.
CAIR is America's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. Aligned with its mission, the NY chapter of CAIR works diligently to protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.

Updated patch file for individual file as suggested.
The documentation (https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/mbeans-descriptors-howto.html) does not describe the attributes of each mbean.
Something similar to the comments in mbeans-descriptors.dtd would be useful.
the MBeans Descriptors How To xml file has been updated.
You need to attach a patch with your updates to this bug report for review.
Hope this helps, let me know for any further refinements, suggestions, recommendations.
Restore state to the correct value. NEEDINFO is used when more information is required from the OP which is not the case here.
Patches should be provided in diff -u format.
I also suggest you try building the documentation and reviewing the output. It isn't going to be what you think it is.
I suggest you try building the documentation and reviewing the output. It isn't going to be what you think it is.
To be explicit, the format of the proposed change is broken. The rules for rendering whitespace in HTML mean that there will be a single block of unformatted text - not the table you intend.
In the end, I opted to simple copy the DTD to the docs and provide a link. I thought that was better then duplicating large sections of the comments from the DTD.

Head over to the General Rules for Requesting Information page.
I am sending documents to a foreign country and have been told to obtain an Apostille. How do I do that?
An Apostille is an authentication of a document issued pursuant to the 1961 Hague Convention abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. The Convention provides for the simplified certification of public documents to be used in countries that have joined the convention. Under the Hague Convention, signatory countries have agreed to recognize public documents issued by other signatory countries if those public documents are authenticated by the attachment of an internationally recognized form of authentication known as an Apostille. The Apostille ensures that public documents issued in one signatory country will be recognized as valid in another signatory country.
You should first confirm that the country to which you are forwarding the document is a party to the Hague Convention Treaty. This can be done by requesting the requirements for acceptance of foreign documents by the receiving country (the country to which you are sending your documents). If that is not possible, you may check the list of countries by going to http://riga.usembassy.gov/hague_list.html.
The original document(s) must either be acknowledged or sworn to and have an original signature of a Notary Public, Commissioner of Deeds, or, in the case of a Birth Certificate, the stamped signature of a Registrar of Vital Statistics with a raised seal. The Notary Public, Commissioner of Deeds, or Registrar must be commissioned in Erie County. Original documents will contain original signatures, stamps, or raised seals.
Please NOTE: Education documents (transcripts, diplomas or certificates) must be obtained from an official of the school, college or university who must certify that the document is an official record or a true copy of the original document. The official's signature must be notarized by a notary public. The document is then be presented to the County Clerk's Office in the county where the notary public is qualified.
Other documents may have special requirements and you should check with the Clerk's Office regarding the type of document that you are authenticating.
The original document must then be presented to the Office of the County Clerk for authentication. The fee is $3 per authentication.
In order for this document to be accepted in the foreign country, it will be necessary for the Apostille to be attached to the document by a representative of the New York State Department of State. The document should be accompanied by the Authentication / Apostille Request available athttp://www.dos.state.ny.us/forms/corporations/1917-f-l.pdf. The new form allows payment by credit card to the Albany Department of State office ONLY. One form can be used to order Apostille for multiple documents that are going to the same country.
More information may be found at http://www.dos.ny.gov/corps/apostille.html.
The Request Form for Authentications (federal documents) may be found at:http://forms.cerenade.com/esdotnet/editdocument.aspx?documentid=309. AFTER MARCH, 2012, a barcode is required; the requester MUST complete the form online.
NOTE: Documents requiring certifications with an apostille by the U.S. Department of State are those that have been signed by a federal official with the official Seal of that agency, American Consular Officer, Military Notary (10 USC 1044a) or Foreign Consul (Diplomat Officials must be registered with the Office of Protocol). Note: These documents must include the official's title and his/her signature must be legible. Please also note that the U.S. Department of State will not issue an apostille for State-issued documents.

Is the conveyance of commercial real estate subject to transfer tax? If so, who is responsible for paying, Buyer or Seller?
New York Tax Law Articles 31 and 31-A cover, respectively, New York State and the Special Additional Erie County real estate transfer tax. In short, all real estate conveyances are subject to transfer tax unless either the party responsible for paying or the transaction is exempt. There is no distinction between commercial or residential transactions regarding the rate of transfer tax; the amount of tax based upon the consideration or sales price of the transfer. Transfer tax in Erie County is calculated at a rate of $4.50 per $500 of consideration and consists of the New York State Transfer Tax at a rate of $2.00 per $500 of consideration and the Erie County Transfer Tax in the amount of $2.50 per $500 of consideration. The transfer tax is an obligation of the Seller; however, the parties may contractually provide otherwise.

I am thinking of forming a business. Where can I get information about what I need to file?
Additional information for filing a Business Certificate, commonly known as a "DBA" Certificate can be found under the "Business Center" tab on this website.
How do I find out if a business name that I would like to use is already registered?
You will want to search the name you are choosing to do business under before filing your Assumed Name (Business) Certificate and the search is easiest done at the Clerk's Office; however, you may go online tohttp://ecclerk.erie.gov/ to check the records from 1994 to present. Searching earlier than 1994 will require you to search Business Certificate books in person. A Business Certificate is terminated and use of the Assumed Name terminated when a Discontinuance is filed. It is possible that someone may be doing business under a name registered prior to 1994.
Additional information for filing a "DBA" Certificate can be found under the "Business Center" heading on this website.
How do I amend my Business ("DBA") Certificate?
If you are amending your certificate to correct an address or other contact information, you may file an Amended Business Certificate. Download the Amended Business Certificate form from our Business Center page, or it can be obtained from a legal stationer, such as Sanders, Williamson's, Sutherland's, or Blumberg's.
Please note: If a partner is being added or withdrawn, the Amendment must be signed by the new partner and at least one or a majority of the members named in the original certificate.
When the ownership of an existing business changes in its entirety (rather than adding or withdrawing a partner), that change may be noted by a Dissolution of the existing Certificate of an Assumed Name and the filing of a new Certificate of Assumed Name, instead of filing an Amendment.
Recommendation is made to consult with an attorney concerning potential issues of liability as a "successor in interest" to the previous owner of an existing business prior to the inclusion of this language.
Where do I file my organizational documents for a business entity, such as a corporation or limited liability company?

Can you tell me if an individual is a qualified commissioner of deeds/notary or give me an expiration date for a notary?
Searches are not generally performed over the phone. You may request a search of the public records, including notary information, by sending a written request listing the name of the notary, sent via mail and accompanied by the appropriate fee. A self-addressed, stamped envelope should also be enclosed to return your response. There is a $5 / 2-year fee for each name and record type searched for this option.
If you are only trying to confirm a commission and expiration date, you may search at the Department of State website for Licensing information, http://appext20.dos.ny.gov/lcns_public/chk_load.
How do I become a commissioner of deeds?
Commissioners of deeds are appointed by the Common Councils of cities within the State. If you live or work in one of the 3 cities in Erie County: Buffalo, Lackawanna or Tonawanda, contact your local City Clerk's Office.
If you live in the City of Buffalo, call the City Clerk's Office at City Hall at 851-5431 for an application. After the application is returned to City Hall with a $20 fee and approved by the Common Council, the application will be sent to the County. The County sends out the oath and signature cards which must be signed, notarized, and returned to the County Clerk's office with the $10 fee.
Can you tell me if an individual is a qualified commissioner of deeds/notary?
I recorded a document and have not received the original back.
The date of recorded documents being returned is available at the top left of the intial search.
The Document Return Info is included in the Detail of the record (F2).
You may search the County Clerk's online records at http://ecclerk.erie.gov/recordsng_web/ to confirm that your deed was recorded and then request a copy of the deed if you need one sooner. There is a cost for copies. You may also wish to check with the attorney who represented you at the closing as documents are often returned directly to the attorney.
You may search the County Clerk's online records at http://ecclerk.erie.gov/recordsng_web/ to confirm that you deed was recorded or send a request for a search with the fee of $5 plus the cost of copies, if copies are requested, to the Clerk's Office along with your self-addressed, stamped return envelope. If, however, the deed has not yet been recorded, it is suggested that you contact your attorney or the City of Buffalo Law Department at 851-4342.
How do I make/file a small claim? Which forms do I use and what court?
My credit report is showing a lien filed against me. Can you verify the status of a lien on record?
Credit Reporting Agencies retrieve information by name from the public records maintained by the County Clerk's Office. If a judgment, tax warrant or other lien is shown on your credit report, it is possible that the item has been filed against another person with a similar name. If there are any items reflected in your credit report that you feel should not be shown against you, you will need to dispute them with the Credit Reporting Agency rather than the Clerk's Office. You will need to provide proof sufficient TO THE REPORTING AGENCY that the item should be removed. You may obtain that proof by disputing the item with the reporting agency or by contacting the judgment creditor, tax department or lienor to obtain in writing confirmation that the judgment, tax warrant or lien is not against you. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT THE CLERK'S OFFICE TO DISPUTE AN ITEM.
If, however, the judgment, tax warrant or lien is correctly filed against you, you will be required to contact the judgment creditor, tax department or lienor to resolve the matter by making payment and obtaining a satisfaction.
