Whitson Gordon What to Do When Your Computer Won't Start If your computer won't start, don't panic (yet). Here are some troubleshooting steps to take when your computer fails to boot correctly.
If your computer won't start, don't panic (yet). Here are some troubleshooting steps to take when your computer fails to boot correctly.
You sit down at your computer, push the power button just like you do every day, and...nothing happens. Maybe the computer doesn't turn on at all, maybe it powers up but shuts right down, or maybe it blue screens. Whatever your issue, here are some troubleshooting steps to take when your computer won't boot correctly.
If your computer isn't turning on at all—no fans are running, no lights are blinking, and nothing appears on screen—you probably have a power issue.
Unplug your computer and plug it directly into a wall outlet you know is working, rather than a power strip or battery backup that may be acting up. Make sure the power switch on the back of your power supply is flipped on, and if the outlet is connected to a light switch, make sure that switch is turned on too.
If you're using a laptop, make sure your charger is plugged in properly and to the correct port—if it charges via USB-C, only some of the USB ports may actually provide power. A failing power supply can often cause boot problems, even if the fans and lights do turn on. So if the troubleshooting steps in this guide fail you, it might be time to replace your power supply.
If the computer sounds like it's turning on but you don't see anything on the screen, the computer may actually be booting and the monitor just isn't showing it. Check to make sure your monitor is plugged in (again, try a wall outlet instead of a power strip), turned on, and set to the right input using the buttons on the side or bottom. You'll also want to make sure the cable connecting your monitor to your PC hasn't come loose.
If these fixes don't help, try plugging your PC into another monitor if you have one—or even a TV—and see if Windows shows up there. If it does, your monitor may be dead, and you need to buy a new one.
No, not on your answering machine. When your computer boots, it may make a beeping sound—usually a single beep means everything is A-okay. But if the computer is having trouble starting up, it may make a series of beeps (kind of like Morse code) that tell you what's wrong.
Check the manual for your PC (or the PC's motherboard, if you built it yourself) and figure out what the beeps mean. If you don't have your manual, you can probably find it on the manufacturer's website.
If your computer doesn't beep at all, you might be out of luck—though some desktop PCs may have a header on the motherboard where you can install a cheap one, or might even have a digital display with a numerical code that corresponds to an error message.
There's a chance a component of your computer has come loose inside the case, especially if it was recently transported somewhere or if you were working inside of it.
If you're comfortable opening your computer up, remove the side panel and make sure the components are properly seated in their respective sockets. That includes your RAM, graphics card, motherboard cables, and the CPU heatsink.
You might also try booting without certain hardware, like the graphics card or one of the RAM sticks, in case they're faulty.
If your computer turns on and you see the POST screen but can't boot into Windows, certain settings may be causing a problem. For example, if you get an error stating that your computer can't find a bootable operating system, it's possible your BIOS is set to boot from the wrong drive. Or maybe your overclocking settings are causing the computer to blue screen immediately.
Enter your BIOS when the POST screen appears, usually by pressing Delete, F2, or some other key to enter setup. If you've tweaked any of these settings in the recent past, try changing them back. Make sure your Boot Order is set to the correct hard drive, make sure all your RAM is recognized, and that your CPU isn't overheating (if it's above 90 degrees Celsius in the BIOS, something is definitely wrong).
If all else fails, try resetting your BIOS settings across the board using the "Load Optimized Defaults" option. Just be sure to snap a few photos of your BIOS settings so you can set them back if that doesn't work.
It's possible you have some nasty malware that's preventing your computer from booting. But with a live environment like Hiren's Boot CD, you can boot your computer from a CD or USB drive and scan your hard drive for malware without booting into Windows.
Download the ISO image from this page, and follow the instructions here to "burn" it to a USB flash drive. Reboot your computer and access the Boot menu—usually by pressing F11, F12, or some other key defined at startup. Choose your USB drive from the boot menu, and it should boot into Hiren's live environment.
From there, you can head into the Utilities > Security folder and run a virus scan with ESET and a malware scan with MalwareBytes. If either programs find anything, it'll let you know and attempt to fix it, which will hopefully allow you to boot into Windows once again.
If you're getting the Blue Screen of Death at startup, it could be a result of a bad application, driver issue, or other hardware quirk causing problems on boot. If you can, Google the stop code that appears and see if it gives you any insight into what's wrong.
Chances are, though, you'll have to boot into Safe Mode to fix the problem. This used to be an easy process in Windows 7 because all you had to do was press F8 as you boot the PC. It has become much trickier in later editions of Windows, but usually if you interrupt the boot process three times—say, by pressing the reset button as Windows tries to boot—it'll take you to the Automatic Repair screen, where you can click Advanced Options.
Your computer should then give you the option to boot into Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, or Safe Mode with Command Prompt. You can try any of these, though the most minimal Safe Mode is probably your best bet, unless you need to access the internet. This will load Windows with only the most crucial drivers and services running.
If you installed any new hardware recently, try uninstalling its drivers. If you think a new application might be to blame, get rid of that too. You might even try running System Restore to try and get your PC back to the last known working configuration. Reboot the PC normally to see if it fixed the problem. If not, you can enter Safe Mode again, or try moving on to one of the next troubleshooting steps in this guide.
It's possible your data is intact, but a rogue update or other problem messed up the files that govern Windows' boot process. Thankfully, Microsoft has a few tools that can attempt to fix the problem.
Boot into the Troubleshoot > Advanced Options menu using the instructions above, but this time choose "Startup Repair." Windows will scan your drive for problems and (hopefully) repair them, allowing you to boot into Windows.
If that doesn't work, head back to the Troubleshoot > Advanced Options menu and choose the Command Prompt. Type sfc /scannow and press Enter. Windows will check your drive for corruption and attempt to repair any problems.
If all else fails, take your hard drive out of your computer, connect it to a USB adapter, dock, or enclosure, and plug it into another known working PC. You probably won't be able to boot from it, but as long as the drive is still working—a big "if"—you'll at least be able to grab any important data before you send the PC in for repairs.

Dylan Carlson: Scorpions in their Mouths
Whether it is as part of experimental heavy rockers, Earth, or with his more folk-oriented solo work as drcarlsonalbion, Dylan Carlson never stops exploring.
Returning from his collaboration with The Bug from 2016, Carlson will be releasing his new album, the first under his real name, titled Conquistador, via Sargent House on April 27th.
"I guess what ties this all together—all my musical projects and my life in general—is the idea of the quest, that search for new horizons and something unnamable and possibly unreachable," Carlson states about the upcoming album.
Conquistador was recorded with super producer and Converge guitarist, Kurt Ballou, and features the contributions of Emma Ruth Rundle (baritone and slide guitar) and Dylan's wife, Holly Carlson (percussion, photography, cover art model).
Scorpions In Their Mouths is the first piece we get to listen, a six-minute psychedelic/desert rocking epic which sets the mood about what will follow in the rest of the album's total of five tracks.

Introducing now a pragmatic endeavor, addressing the European Union, to implement an official appointment of some figure dealing with the issues connected to the monitoring, advancing and execution of FoRB, i.e. the Freedom of Religion or Belief. Although within the limits of etiquette that is due in such a communication, although characterized by a mildness that is opportune in consideration of those personalities to which it was sent, the Open Letter from EPRID (European Platform against Religious Intolerance and Discrimination) could almost be regarded to as a heartfelt invocation, when not an actual cry for shelter, aimed at those who in the UE may attribute righteous consideration to such a key topic as that of the respect for forms of belief or non-belief or spirituality or religion, other than our own.
FOB states its agreement with the intent that leaks from EPRID's Open Letter.
At its recently held annual general meeting, the members of EPRID unanimously resolved to express support for the continuation of the mandate of the Special Envoy for the promotion of freedom of religion or belief outside the European Union. EPRID expresses that support by way of this open letter.
Each of the members of EPRID have had association with the current Special Envoy and have been impressed by Dr Ján Figel's considerable achievements in his efforts to promote the principles of FoRB in several regions of the world all in a relatively short time.
the shortness of the period of the mandate.
EPRID is conscious that the mandate is a new one and thus without precedent within the European Union. It is with this recent creation of the role in mind that EPRID couples its recommendation for continuation with other recommendations and observations on how the mandate may be optimised to achieve its purposes. None of the matters raised by way of recommendation are intended to delay the renewal of the mandate. We hope that the points made in this letter might form part of the EU's considerations in how the role could meaningfully grow. EPRID notes, for example, the EU considerable potential influence in the area of FoRB upon trading partners. This may be a matter that could form part of the brief to the Special Envoy.
EPRID's recommendations and observations are the following.
First, a clear and workable EU Strategy on FoRB with respect to third countries must be developed in consultation with both the Special Envoy and civil society. This strategy should then inform the role of the mandate holder. With such a strategy in place, the Special Envoy could more readily prioritise the issues and third countries.
Secondly, given the importance of the mandate, it is equally important that the person appointed is both in possession of and seen to be vested with real institutional credibility and power. We propose that this person should be given a double hat and placed both within the European Commission, but also within the EEAS, in a position made directly responsible to the cabinet of the High Representative/Vice-President. In this respect, consideration could be given to the following improvements: the title of the office might be changed to that of 'EU Special Representative on Freedom of Religion or Belief'; and, the functions of the office might be formally connected with the EU's responsibilities under Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. We find that it is important that this position is grounded in both institutions as there are implications of this work for, amongst others, DG development, DG Near and DG Trade. It will be through appropriate normative and structural connection with the other priority areas of the EU that the mandate will succeed in supporting work done in humanitarian aid, refugees and dealing with conflict in the Middle East.
Thirdly, if the mandate is to be successfully performed, there must be adequate allocations of budget and staffing. The allocations must take account of the needs for liaison with internal EU institutions and policy areas, the training and support of EU delegations tasked with the promotion of FoRB, the implementation of the EU Guidelines on the promotion of freedom of religion or belief and continued dialogue with civil society. Without adequate allocation of resources, the mandate has the potential to fail over time or, possibly worse, for it to lapse into window dressing and tokenism at a time when real action is required of the EU.
Fourthly, and for similar reasons, it is also important that the mandate be for ongoing periods of three or four years, so that each appointee has sufficient time to implement projects in accordance with EU priorities.
EPRID thanks the leaders of the EU institutions for their attention to the matters raised in this letter. If there is any matter that requires elaboration or explanation, EPRID and its constitutive members are ready to discuss those matters either in writing or in meetings.

Texas First State to Surpass 1-Million Covid Cases
Ann Sullivan November 12, 2020
The state of Texas became the first to surpass 1-million COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, with El Paso bearing the worst of increasing numbers. The border city has closed beauty salons, tattoo parlors and gyms in response to the recent uptick, which includes over 1,000 hospitalizations, despite no official mandate issuance by Texas Governor Greg Abbott. Hospitals are becoming overwhelmed, forcing the city to set up mobile morgues in order to contend with the grim and mounting death toll. Texas State University's home of Lubbock County reported an 80% increase of cases last week, with close to 3,400 new infections.
Amid the pandemic crisis, with a new one-day statewide total of 10,8000 infections recorded on Tuesday, Texas state officials have not issued any Covid-related restrictions, nor have they indicated any intention to do so any time soon. In Fort Worth, the top county official is urging a halt to all sports activities for schools and youth groups. The hard-hit rural panhandle region is also coping with the necessity to set up medical tents outside hospital facilities in order to deal with the overload of new cases.
Wednesday's statewide case rate includes 6,779 new hospitalizations – a 609 one-day increase from the previous day's total and is among the highest since the state began recording coronavirus case numbers. A spokeswoman for the governor's office said Texans should take this virus very seriously and be prepared to help curb the spread by hand-washing, social distancing and wearing masks.

Beginning in 2016, expenditures increased for three years in a row for the first time. That year, the state Attorney General's six-diocese investigation began and a separate investigation into the Roman Catholic Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown concluded.
PCC spokesman Al Gnoza said he could only speculate as to why there were surges in lobbying expenditures as he's only been at the organization since 2018.
"I've not seen any changes (in lobbying), and we still lobby on the same amount of issues," Gnoza said. "We haven't hired anybody else internally or as a subcontractor. I have not seen an uptick."
Yet advocates and legislators say they are well aware of the church's lobbying tactics.
"(The lobbying) shows the ignorance that they think they're above the law, and the more money they spend, the more return it's going to give them," said Rep. Mark Rozzi, D- Berks. "It's disgusting. It seems like protecting an institution is more important than protecting children."
Rozzi, who was raped by a priest as a teenager, has been pushing for legislative action for years.
The upper chamber is expected to soon weigh his proposal that would eliminate the criminal statute of limitations on sex crimes going forward and raise the civil statute of limitations, meaning victims could file civil lawsuits, until they were 55 years old.
The bill accompanies a constitutional amendment proposed by Rep. Jim Gregory, R-Blair, who was sexually abused as a child. That would create a two-year retroactive window for those who have been timed out of the court system and want to sue sexual abusers or the institution of which they're a part.
The two bills were conjoined last session — although the two-year window was a statutory measure — and Senate Republicans blocked the bill. They're now separate, but a clause in Rozzi's bill states it cannot take effect until Gregory's passes both chambers.
The PCC spent more than $777,000 in 2018 alone, the second most it's spent in a year, according to data dating back to 2007.
While the lawmakers hope they'll have more success this time around, the Catholic Church's finances are still front and center, especially since survivors don't have the luxury of a strong lobbying arm.
Yet the church has said it's remaining neutral on the bills, despite its lobbying increases.
"We're not opposing either (bill)," Gnoza said. "We're taking more of a monitored stance on it. I think we all want the victims made whole and taken care of. We just have different views of how that's going to happen."
The church has instead promoted compensation funds for victims who may have been timed out of the court system or don't file a lawsuit. Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati, R-Jefferson, supports the funds.
Scarnati, who didn't respond to multiple inquiries for comment, has said the two-year retroactive window legislation is unconstitutional. Attorney General Josh Shapiro and supporters have disputed that claim.
Yet the church isn't the only entity siding with Senate Republicans over the two-year window proposal. The insurance industry is on board as well.
The insurance industry — which has given Scarnati about $675,000 since he took office in 2001, more than any other legislator — opposes creating retroactive liability without a retroactive premium.
"We realize concerns about insurance economics and mandating insurance coverage without allowing for premiums to pay for that coverage are secondary for many, but they are important concerns in assuring the fiscal soundness of our industry," said Sam Marshall, CEO of the Insurance Federation of Pennsylvania.
The federation fully supports victims of child sex abuse, and it has pushed for a compensation pool rather than a two-year window, he added.
Although insurance industry lobbying has largely leveled off since a spike in 2013, the federation's lobbying expenditures in 2018 were the largest on record at $1.95 million.
Those increases have continued through Rozzi's proposals for a two-year window, but Marshall said there is no correlation to make there — a sentiment Rozzi and others reject.
"We represent a wide number of companies, most of whom have no liability exposure on this issue," Marshall said, adding areas that receive most of the money are auto insurance, medical malpractice, workers' compensation and others.

Billy Graham Speaks
President and Mrs. Bush at a book signing with Rev. Billy Graham at the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, NC. 12/20/2010

This article by Ute Schaffer looks at how education impacted the revolution known as the Arab Spring. The author lays out an argument that knowledge is critical for democratic participation, is one the most fundamental human rights and gives economic advantage to the countries who protect and promote education. Education means more than acquiring knowledge. It empowers people to develop personally and become politically active. This article fits the theme Knowledge is Power by demonstrating the advantages of getting an education and what type of power follows people who get an education. The author demonstrates the importance of education, "In the long run, no illegitimate regime will be able to withstand the power of a well-educated majority." The author's argument shows how powerful education can be, education will rid the world of dictators and tyrants who exploit their people.

Hill's Ideal Balance canned dog food receives the Advisor's mid-tier rating of 3 stars.
The Hill's Ideal Balance product line includes 2 canned dog foods.
Hill's Ideal Balance Slow Cooked Chicken and Zucchini Stew was selected to represent both products in the line for this review.
The fourth ingredient is zucchini. Zucchini is a type of squash high in complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber.
The seventh ingredient is rice. Is this whole grain rice, brown rice or white rice? Since the word "rice" doesn't tell us much, it's impossible to judge the quality of this item.
The eighth ingredient is rice starch, a starchy powder extracted from rice and most likely used here as a thickening agent.
First, we find powdered cellulose, a non-digestible plant fiber usually made from the by-products of vegetable processing. Except for the usual benefits of fiber, powdered cellulose provides no nutritional value to a dog.
Judging by its ingredients alone, Hill's Ideal Balance Dog Food looks like an average wet product.
The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 28%, a fat level of 18% and estimated carbohydrates of about 45%.
As a group, the brand features an average protein content of 27% and a mean fat level of 20%. Together, these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 46% for the overall product line.
When you consider the protein-boosting effect of the peas and flaxseed, this looks like the profile of a wet product containing just a modest amount of meat.
However, with 38% of the total calories in our example coming from fat versus just 24% from protein, some recipes may not be suitable for every animal.
Hill's Ideal Balance is a meat-based canned dog food using a modest amount of named meats as its main sources of animal protein, thus earning the brand 3 stars.


Think back to the last great industry event you attended where something truly memorable happened, something innovative was announced to the world, or at the very least, you had a flat-out amazing time. How much do you think it cost? While it's true that the best and brightest launch parties run at least five or six figures and some stretch even farther than that, the truth is, no brand — not even the most recognizable company you can think of — has an infinite amount of resources. Luckily, we've been planning and producing phenomenal events in the heart of the Lone Star State and beyond for almost two decades, and we've got some hat tricks to share. If you're looking to plan a launch, celebration or some other kind of splash while keeping your line items in check, read on for tips on how to stay under budget on your next branded event in Austin.
First up, some tough love. Hear this: If you're planning a big to-do in the Live Music Capital of the World, the easiest way to stretch your dollars is to avoid hosting your event in the middle of South By Southwest.
"But everybody's doing it!" the voice inside your head might be yelling. In point of fact, though, that's not true. While hosting an event at SXSW certainly has its perks, it also has its drawbacks — budget considerations chief among them, and the tendency to get lost amid the noise isn't too far behind. That's not to say you can't take advantage of the networking opportunities, competitive research and overall synergy the multi-festival offers — you can just have your team attend and spread out, making connections, gathering information and advancing your brand while saving you upwards of, oh, half a million dollars in the process. Skip the temptation to blow your annual marketing spend on the "[YOUR BRAND HERE] House" and you just might thank yourself.
Patio season — that is to say, anytime in the spring or fall — is the perfect time for an al fresco event, taking advantage of the beauty of the big Texas sky above a late-night bash under the stars or an afternoon experiential event where guests can wander around a spacious indoor/outdoor venue, lingering over your brand activations with drinks in hand.
Or if you're planning to host an indoor event, there's no reason not to enjoy the deep venue discounts you'll encounter in the off-season, when the temperatures outside are blazing but your event's at a cool 72 degrees thanks to the power of a little invention called air conditioning. All in all, skipping the price gouges of March will free up a tremendous amount of money for you to allocate elsewhere, either making it a bigger, bolder event than ever, or spending it on a complementary marketing campaign to drive your message home even further (while driving your profits up).
There's nothing wiser than hiring a true team of professionals to plan and produce your event, whether it's an event planning agency or a DMC (i.e., a destination management company, which doesn't just plan and produce your event, but also handles the extras involved with bringing in lots of out-of-town guests, like transportation, lodging and more). When you've got event professionals in your corner, you've reduced what would have been an out-of-control to-do list keeping you up at night to just one lifesaving point of contact handling all your vendors, contracts, concepts and details.
Not only will they give you access to the best of everything in town and save you from working with subpar vendors, they'll also keep your brand safe from liability, unexpected expenses and a host of other budget-draining considerations that might have otherwise derailed your plans.
A particularly great choice for brands whose leaders don't want to lose any sleep or sanity because an event budget derails itself after the train leaves the station and there's nothing left to do but pay, a respected event planning agency or DMC knows the ins and outs of everything events-related, as well as how to keep it all under control. They'll only partner with legitimate, reliable venues and vendors, keeping you from ever getting swindled or sold a false bill of goods, and they'll keep your brand safe from expensive litigation if something goes awry along the way. Hosting a branded event in Austin (or anywhere, for that matter) carries with it a host of considerations best left to someone who can handle them without missing a beat.
Not only does a respected partner save you all kinds of hidden expenses; they'll also give you peace of mind, and you can't put a price on that.
Want to partner up with the best team in town on your next big event? Link arms with the Kennedy crew and we'll help you nail it every step of the way.

Difference Between Affidavit Declaration and Statutory Declaration (With Table)
By admin / February 10, 2022 March 1, 2022
Affidavit declaration and Statutory Declaration are both in the form of written documents. The person making such documents verify the correctness of documents. These documents serve as a written record that intends to hold the maker of such an instrument accountable for their words. Both these are statements of facts that can be produced in a court of law to prove a point.
Affidavit Declaration vs Statutory Declaration
The main difference between Affidavit Declaration and Statutory Declaration is that Affidavit Declaration mainly serves in legal proceedings as proof of some issues. It is nearly always needed during the proceedings of the court. On the other hand, statutory declarations are usually used for issues and matters which can be solved out of a court of law.
An affidavit declaration is a statement of facts that the author of the declaration has declared to be true. These affidavits are declared to be the truth by either taking an oath or making an assertion. The person who signs the affidavit declaration is called a dependent and they usually make the oath or affirmation before a competent authority.
A Statutory Declaration is also a statement of facts that is declared to be true by the author. Such a document is intended to assert certain facts which can be held in a court of law. Such documents help to clear the air in cases where the evidence might not be in sight.
Confirmation Table Between Affidavit Declaration and Statutory Declaration
Parameters of Comparison Affidavit Declaration Statutory Declaration
Swearing/Affirmation The author has to swear under an oath or make an assertion for the declaration to be valid. There is no requirement for the author to swear under an oath or make an assertion to make the document valid.
Usage in court sessions Affidavit declarations are generally used in proceedings or sessions of court. Statutory Declarations are mainly used outside courts.
Witness It is signed in front of a notary public. It is signed in front of an attorney or justice of peace.
Use These declarations are useful in getting some legal documents. These declarations are used in cases of name changes and patent requests.
Legal Guidelines Affidavits have to follow certain established legal guidelines. They do not need to follow such guidelines.
What is Affidavit Declaration?
An affidavit declaration is a statement of facts that are proclaimed to be true. The assertion or oath signifying this proclamation has to take place in front of competent legal authority as established by the rules and regulations. Such declaration usually takes place in front of a notary public.
When a person signs on an affidavit and makes an assertion or takes an oath regarding the same, they become accountable for the statement's truthfulness. If their statements are proved false later, they might have to face their consequences in a court of law. Also, such declarations can be submitted as evidence in relevant cases in the courts.
In most parts of the world, the affidavit declaration is supposed to have a particular format and layout. Generally, the affidavit declaration begins with the words, "I [name of deponent] of [address] do solemnly and sincerely affirm…". Affidavits are generally used to get certain legal documents for future use. There are several types of affidavits like financial affidavit, death affidavit, and affidavit to a court summons.
What is Statutory Declaration?
A statutory declaration is a written account of facts and these documents are required to fulfill certain legal conditions. Certain facts are declared to the general public using a statutory declaration. Request for patents and name change of a person is done with the help of statutory declaration.
Unlike affidavit declaration, there is no need for swearing or asserting in front of any person in Statutory declaration. The facts produced in the document are merely believed to be true and are taken at face value. Thus, a statutory declaration is just a signed statement of facts as per the author.
The statutory declaration is not usually used in the proceedings of the court of law. However, it can be used as evidence to support a claim. A statutory declaration begins with the words, "I [name of deponent] do solemnly and sincerely declare that…".
Main Differences Between Affidavit Declaration and Statutory Declaration
An affidavit declaration is a sworn written announcement of truth, while on the other hand, a statutory declaration is also an announcement of truth but is not sworn. The maker of an affidavit declaration has to take a swear of oath or make an assertion in front of a competent authority.
The affidavit declaration serves as a part of the sessions of court. These documents serve as legal evidence on relevant matters and help a case to conclude. On the contrary, statutory declarations are generally used outside the court.
The affidavit declaration is legally required to be signed and affirmed in front of the notary public. On the other hand, the statutory declaration has to be signed in front of an attorney. When these documents are signed before these competent authorities, they become legal.
While affidavit declarations are useful in getting some legal documents, statutory documents serve the purpose of the name change of a person or a patent request.
Affidavit declarations have to follow certain guidelines to get the document a legal status. On the other hand, statutory documents need not follow such guidelines. Moreover, there is a difference in the structure of these two types of declarations.
Affidavit declaration and Statutory declaration are both instruments of public use. These are statements consisting of facts that their author believes to be true. Both these instruments are admissible in the proceedings of the court but affidavit declaration has the greater share of usage as evidence.
Both these documents only become valid when they are signed in front of certain competent authorities. If the deponent makes any lies while framing the documents, they can be held accountable for their actions.

Browsing the shelves of libraries, book stores and book stalls is one of my favorite things to do. Over the years I have happened upon rare books, books by long forgotten authors and authors unknown at least to me, and have found both delight in discovery and hours of happy reading. So when a well-tailored fellow from Amazon stepped up to the dais of a writers' conference lunch recently and in a cheerful voice declared the end of browsing, I was horrified. He was not, of course, talking about internet browsing. He was talking about my kind of browsing.
Scanning real shelves for physical books is for me the most satisfying way to find literary treasures. A few days ago I stopped by Flyleaf Books in Chapel Hill and was captivated by a little girl who was sitting cross-legged on the floor of the children's section, reading a book she had pulled from the lower shelves. She didn't once look up while people walked around her.
Years ago that little girl was me. Every Tuesday night after dinner my parents would take me to our local library, and while they went off to look at grown-up books, I would run to the children's room and begin browsing through the biography section. Books about little girls who grew up to do great things were my favorite. The biographies of Madam Currie, Louisa May Alcott and Susan B. Anthony all inspired me with a sense of possibility. I discovered fiction on those Tuesday nights too. I'm sure I owe my life-long enthusiasm for mysteries and thrillers to the volumes of Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys that I found on neighboring shelves.
While writing papers in college I often searched the library stacks for a book I had found listed in a bibliography only to discover that the book beside that book had even richer material for my research project. Had I been looking for the book online, as efficient as that method may be, I would have found only that book and most likely missed the memories and letters of little-known men and women whose valuable observations added unique perspectives to whatever subject I was pursuing.
Later as impoverished graduate students in New York City I and my friends spent many happy hours browsing in the second hand book stores on Broadway. We were thrilled when we chanced upon often out-of-print volumes whose prices fit out meager budgets. I would not otherwise have happened upon books like Anthony Trollope's The Way We Live Now or the lesser works of Mark Twain that I still have in my bookcase today.
I will continue to enjoy browsing the shelves of libraries and bookstores and hope that the unwelcome prediction of the man from Amazon is wrong or at least will not come to pass in my lifetime. How sad it would be if the little girl in Flyleaf Books and children everywhere were unable to find new worlds while discovering the delights of browsing.
In this bravura follow-up to the Pulitzer Prize, and National Book Award-winning #1 New York Times bestseller The Underground Railroad, Colson Whitehead brilliantly dramatizes another strand of American history through the story of two boys sentenced to a hellish reform school in Jim Crow-era Florida.
As the Civil Rights movement begins to reach the black enclave of Frenchtown in segregated Tallahassee, Elwood Curtis takes the words of Dr. Martin Luther King to heart: He is "as good as anyone." Abandoned by his parents, but kept on the straight and narrow by his grandmother, Elwood is about to enroll in the local black college. But for a black boy in the Jim Crow South of the early 1960s, one innocent mistake is enough to destroy the future. Elwood is sentenced to a juvenile reformatory called the Nickel Academy, whose mission statement says it provides "physical, intellectual and moral training" so the delinquent boys in their charge can become "honorable and honest men."
In reality, the Nickel Academy is a grotesque chamber of horrors where the sadistic staff beats and sexually abuses the students, corrupt officials and locals steal food and supplies, and any boy who resists is likely to disappear "out back." Stunned to find himself in such a vicious environment, Elwood tries to hold onto Dr. King's ringing assertion "Throw us in jail and we will still love you." His friend Turner thinks Elwood is worse than naive, that the world is crooked, and that the only way to survive is to scheme and avoid trouble.
The tension between Elwood's ideals and Turner's skepticism leads to a decision whose repercussions will echo down the decades. Formed in the crucible of the evils Jim Crow wrought, the boys' fates will be determined by what they endured at the Nickel Academy.
Based on the real story of a reform school in Florida that operated for one hundred and eleven years and warped the lives of thousands of children, The Nickel Boys is a devastating, driven narrative that showcases a great American novelist writing at the height of his powers.

An Indie Next Pick / One of Southern Living's Best Southern Books of 2017
In the vein of Daniel Woodrell's Winter's Bone and the works of Ron Rash, a novel set in a tough-and-tumble Mississippi town where drugs, whiskey, guns, and the desire for revenge violently intersect.
For eleven years the clock has been ticking for Russell Gaines as he sits in Parchman Penitentiary in the Mississippi Delta. His sentence is now up, and he believes his debt has been paid. But when he returns home, he soon discovers that revenge lives and breathes all around him.
On the same day that Russell is released from prison, a woman named Maben and her young daughter trudge along the side of the interstate under the punishing summer sun. Desperate and exhausted, the pair spend their last dollar on a room for the night, a night that ends with Maben running through the darkness holding a pistol, and a dead deputy sprawled in the middle o the road in the glow of his own headlights.
With the dawn, destinies collide, and Russell is forced to decide whose life he will save--his own or those of the woman and child.
Delivered in powerful and lyrical prose, Desperation Road is a story of troubled souls twisted with regret and bound by secrets that stretch over the years and across the land.

From the day your precious baby is born, your life is transformed. You alter what you think about, the things you do, and your hopes and dreams are forever changed. When your child is in ill health, you feel devastated. Maybe you've tried other avenues and haven't gotten the results you want, or perhaps we're your first stop in trying to find a solution.
Surprisingly, the majority of the issues children experience can be traced back to the birthing process, which is traumatic for their delicate bodies. By using a gentle touch in the precise spot that needs it, we can make the neurological changes necessary for your child to recover their health.
A child's adjustment isn't like it would be for an adult. With babies, we use the amount of pressure that would be required to leave a fingerprint in a soft stick of butter. After your child gets adjusted for the first time, they'll be excited about their next visit.
Each care plan is specific to the individual baby or child. Not everyone gets the same care though we may recommend visits three times a week to start making positive effects on their neurology. Just like beginning an exercise program, waiting weeks in between workouts would allow your body to revert to the old, unhealthy patterns.
As care continues and we see the changes we hope for, we'll decrease the frequency of care. Keep in mind, however, that lifelong chiropractic care is an asset that ensures your child stays healthy and avoids problems in the future.
Are you ready to find out more about pediatric chiropractic Marietta? Contact us today! We have after-school appointment times and Saturday visits available.

The Wilmington violence held far-reaching
implications for blacks nationwide.
The response of national black leaders such
as Fortune and Washington was split
between radical and conservative elements.
The division, largely one of personal
philosophy among black intellectuals, but it
was also a boon to whites who sought to
divide black opinion. A good example can
be found in the Washington Post where
Fortune was cast as an anti- Booker T.
Washington radical and was misquoted.
Fortune apologized to Washington, with
whom he had a close relationship, about the
Post interview, realizing that white
newspapermen were sometimes less than
honorable in their intentions. 43 The divide
between black activists and intellectuals
continued for years and reduced cohesion
among black leadership. 44 Still, black

Presbyterian in Charlotte " rakes" Booker T.

are in sympathy with that wise man" in an article.
Another foreboding observation about the Charlotte
editor is that the white press noted that he wrote
" pacifically in places but the general tone leaves the
impression of sore- headedness and growling,"
indicating that whites were paying close attention to
black press and the tone of its product. In January
1899, Booker T. Washington was informed by
Edward Clement, one of his white supporters in
Massachusetts, that opposition to Washington's
methods was growing among blacks. Clement told
Washington that he was " impressed with the protests
of such men as Dubois and Dunbar against the new
outburst of intolerance in the South." Fortune's
meetings, plus the networks established by men such
as Washington and Dubois, provided the groundwork
for what would eventually lead to the formation of

When local and national efforts
failed to relieve pressures exerted by
Democrats, Wilmington blacks left the city.
The exodus continued into December, with
the newspapers reporting that over 1,000
blacks had left since the violence in
November. Reports said that many bought
railroad tickets to points north of Richmond
and south to South Carolina and Georgia,
while others moved to rural New Hanover

depended upon rental income from black
tenants saw a n immediate drop in revenue,
particularly in the Brooklyn neighborhood.
The paper sought to put a positive spin on
the article by observing that many whites
were filtering into the city to replace the lost
black population. The editor surmised that
as many as 250 to 300 whites had arrived
recently in the city from other counties and
that those new arrivals were filling the rental
houses and searching for jobs " of all

Lebwoski Makes His Peace With The Eagles - The Big Lebowski is a painting by Joseph Oland which was uploaded on September 2nd, 2018.
This is an illustration I made just for fun, after learning about the death of The Eagles' front-man Glenn Frey. It's a bit of an homage to The Big Lebowski and The Eagles.

With the new federal budget, Canada's government is sending a strong signal that it intends to follow through on its commitment to curb carbon pollution from our homes and buildings. By focusing on social housing, the budget also signals a resolve to ensure energy efficiency will benefit all Canadians.
With the new federal budget, Canada's government is sending a strong signal that it intends to follow through on its commitment to curb carbon pollution from our homes and buildings. Investments in energy efficiency are peppered throughout the 2017 budget, supporting the transition to a low-carbon building sector as outlined in the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change.
Although the dollars won't flow until next year, the commitments are significant. Funds are earmarked for the delivery of energy efficiency programs ($67.5 million over five years), increasing the use of wood in mid-rise buildings ($39.8 million), new building codes to guide construction of new net-zero energy ready buildings and energy efficiency upgrades for existing buildings ($182 million over 11 years), and Natural Resources Canada's work on reducing carbon pollution from government buildings and vehicles ($13.5 million over five years).
These investments are in addition to any financing for low-carbon building projects that may come from the Canada Infrastructure Bank ($5 billion over 11 years), or the $2-billion Low Carbon Economy Fund to be disbursed to the provinces and territories over the next five years.
By focusing on social housing, the budget also signals a resolve to ensure energy efficiency will benefit all Canadians. Eleven billion dollars over 11 years is earmarked for affordable housing. Of this, $5 billion will go to the new National Housing Fund. Administered by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the fund will provide low-cost loans for renovating existing housing units and constructing new affordable housing. Investing in social housing will spark innovation and accelerate the uptake of low-carbon buildings.
The National Housing Fund should help address this imbalance. Loans will support renovations to improve energy efficiency. According to the Pembina Institute's research, energy efficiency upgrades could lower utility costs by up to half. Such renovations also rectify discomfort and health issues associated with cold air drafts, moisture, and mould.
Construction of new affordable housing and helping "improve the quality and condition of affordable housing" are goals of the fund. This represents an opportunity to build new housing to net-zero energy ready standards (to which the federal government is steering all new construction by 2030). Net-zero energy ready homes use so little energy that they could generate the equivalent of their annual energy consumption with renewable sources, such as solar panels. Such low-carbon homes are more comfortable and durable, healthier, and more affordable to heat and maintain.
This year's budget recognizes that the low-carbon building sector is an important part of Canada's growing clean economy.
Energy efficiency renovations and low-carbon building standards aren't necessarily cutting-edge, but they still aren't the norm. Opportunities to test and refine energy-saving solutions provide a working lab, classroom, and marketplace in which trades, professionals, suppliers, and manufacturers can hone their skills, knowledge, and products. This is how solutions that can be applied across the country are identified.
Demonstrating political will and commitment to invest in innovation, not just regulation, sends an important message to the marketplace: this is the future of the building sector. This message, coupled with the promise of a growing market for low-carbon buildings, drives early adoption, because industry has the certainty needed to attract private investment.
This year's budget recognizes that the low-carbon building sector is an important part of Canada's growing clean economy. Indeed, every $1 million invested in energy efficiency creates 13 jobs, and $3 million to $4 million in economic growth. By improving health and well-being, lowering utility bills, and boosting local jobs and innovation, a more energy efficient building sector promises to benefit all Canadians.

Q: preserving a multi-homed setup across reboots Having read "two gateways / two providers with different ips", and the Clinton East article that it links to, I have successfully set up a multi-homed RHEL5 system.  However, I am hoping for a better way to preserve this state than by calling the ip rule and ip route commands from rc.local.  Is there a configuration file that I could edit that would get read as the interfaces come up?  Something like iptables-save and iptables-restore perhaps?

A: RedHat:
    I don't have any boxes on hand to check, but there should be something like a /etc/sysconfig/network/routes file in which to configure static routes.
SuSE:
$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifroute-eth-id-MAC:
#NETWORK/MASK GATEWAY_IP
192.168.100.0/24 192.168.1.1

Debian:
$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
up ip route add 192.168.100.0/24 via 192.168.1.1
down ip route del 192.168.100.0/24 via 192.168.1.1

A: In RHEL, there's two places where these things should probably go.
For adding static routes in RHEL, you add them to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-INTERFACE where INTERFACE matches the name of the ifcfg-INTERFACE entries.  The statements in the route-* files will be passed to ip route add and ip route del when the interface is brought up or down.
Now, for the ip rule commands, the best place I can think of would probably be in /sbin/ifup-local.  If this file exists, it gets run after an interface is brought up.  One note with this one, if /sbin/ifup-local exists, it will get called as an executable and passed an argument of the interface name.  So you'll have to write handler code to check that argument against the interfaces you want to add configs for and then take the appropriate action.
As an example:

#/bin/bash

case $1 in
  eth0)
    /sbin/ip rule foo
    /sbin/ip rule bar
    ;;
  eth1)
    /sbin/ip rule baz
    /sbin/ip rule quux
    ;;
  *)
    /usr/bin/logger -t 'ifup-local' 'Called with unknown interface:  $1'
    ;;
esac

If you wanted to, you could include the ip route rules for each interface in ifup-local, too.  If you wanted to remove the corresponding rules when an interface is downed, you could create a similar /sbin/ifdown-local script to handle that.
If it were me, even though RHEL provides a standardized way of handling static routes, I'd probably do everything in ifup-local and ifdown-local, just to keep all my interface specific bits together.

Contemporary house designs continue to encourage us to think outside of the box and get creative with the way we want our dream home look. It is all about going away from standard designs and layouts and making your home unique and like no other. Furthermore, with bathrooms increasingly becoming major selling point for new houses, ARC Design Services have plenty of ideas for a contemporary solution for making your bathroom unique and practical.
With stylish walk in wet rooms you can make the most of the space, whilst adding a touch of luxury and practicality. This can be the ultimate solution for adding contemporary look and feel to your home. Minimalistic design and the impression of open space will help re-create the experience of a luxury spa or top-notch hotel.
Wet rooms also carry several benefits. The key benefit is the fact that wet room is an ideal solution for small spaces or awkwardly shaped rooms. So, if you want to have an additional bathroom in your home, limited space or awkward layout is not an issue.
However, as with every project, there are complexities and points for consideration.
One of the key aspects to consider when developing a wet room is waterproofing. A waterproof membrane will need to be laid in the floors, in between the walls and ceiling. This makes sure that the room is completely waterproof and you will not have any issues with dampness or leaks, allowing you to splash as much as you want.
The function of a drainage system is to make sure the water leaves the wet room as efficiently as possible, to make sure there is no standing water left in the wet room, causing smell and inconvenience. The wet room will need to be designed in a way that there is a slight gradient which will make sure the water escapes the room effectively. Finally, the gully needs to have sufficient volume, and needs to be well connected to the drainage system, to absorb the water without causing puddles.
This can be a great addition to the walk in wet room. As well as making the tiles nice and warm for you when you enter the wet room, underfloor heating helps stabilise humidity and also evaporate excess standing water. There are two main types of underfloor heating systems - dry and wet. The dry systems use electric heating cables, which conducts heat through the flooring, and do not require a boiler or gas supply - it is an independent system. The wet systems comprise a water pipe that runs hot water underneath the flooring also conducting heat. These systems work as part of the central heating system, and are usually hooked up to your boiler. For more information on underfloor heating check out our blog here.


Ensuring the safety and efficiency of flights is a large mission the FAA is tasked with. Since the early 2000's the FAA has been working on implementing their next generation air transportation system that aims at modernizing the way flights are managed. Some of the changes brought on by the implementation of next gen include additions and modifications to the time management initiatives (TMIs) that the FAA uses for managing flights. For that reason, the FAA is interested in how these TMIs compare with each other. This document focuses on comparing different TMIs by conducting statistical analysis on the available data and examining the results.

Latest Horror Reviews


By all measures 2018 was a busy year for the M&A industry. M&A volume in the U.S. reached a near-record pace through the first three quarters of 2018, with $1.3 trillion in deals announced — a 50 percent increase in activity compared to the first nine months of 2017. On the private equity front, activity remained strong as well. The first three quarters of 2018 saw 3,501 deals completed for a total of $508.8 billion, according to Pitchbook. Additionally, in the first three quarters of 2018, private equity firms raised $121 billion for investment.
As we turn our attention to 2019, Middle Market Review asked readers what their expectations are for the new year. Most survey respondents believe M&A activity in 2019 will increase, citing the booming economy, baby boomers' need to sell businesses, expanding GDP, and a lower barrier to growth given the more favorable business environment promoted by the Trump Administration. What's more, corporates have increased cash, in part due to tax reform, and M&A is high on their priority list. Private equity firms have lots of dry powder as well.
The Deloitte survey, which surveyed 1,000 U.S.-based M&A and private equity professionals, also found that corporates are now focused on acquisitions that will expand their customer bases in existing geographic markers or expand and diversify their products and services, which is a shift from when they were focused on acquisitions that gave them more technological capabilities last year.
Although the outlook for 2019 is strong dealmakers are not worry-free. Middle Market Review readers worry about a lack of quality deal flow and rising interest rates. The Deloitte survey says that global economic uncertainty is the No. 1 obstacle to M&A. However, rising interest rates was also concern with 41 percent of all respondents to the Deloitte survey saying that rising rates will slow their activity or reduce their ability to execute on deals. "It's without question that has interest rates go up and the stock market become more volatile the atmosphere for investment becomes less stable," says Feder.
Probitas Partners also completed their annual Private Equity Institutional Investors Trends for 2019 survey recently and says that investors' fear going into 2019 is that too money is coming into private equity.
Still, overall investors are going into 2019 ready to have another strong year. "From the LP standpoint, the private equity industry, particularly the middle market remains strong and will keep expanding. Proven managers will continue to have success in 2019," says Kelly DePonte, a manager partner with Probitas Partners.

Hamptons Police Blotter: Missing Parrot, McGumbus
David Rattiner January 20, 2013
This week in the Hamptons the cops were busy with a lot of criminal activity that included Ferrari rims getting stolen and a wildlife camera theft. Crime doesn't pay, folks. It doesn't pay.
A man in Southampton allegedly walked onto private property and removed a wildlife camera that had been installed by the landowner—it would seem the suspect did not like the idea of wildlife being photographed on the East End. He was subsequently caught and placed inside a cage.
Duck Problems
A man in Hampton Bays reported that some quack took a chainsaw and destroyed the duck blind that he uses for hunting. Meanwhile in Southampton, a man reported that his duck blind, worth an estimated $2,500, had been stolen. What the duck is going on?
African Parrot
A woman in East Quogue reported that her $2,000 African gray parrot had been stolen on New Year's Eve. The parrot, which was a family pet and is also a rare bird for the East End, was dear to the woman. Happily, one day later, she discovered the parrot happy and healthy back at her home, and she reported that the bird had been returned by the criminals who'd stolen it. Or maybe, and I'm just putting this out there, she forgot to lock the cage and the parrot escaped and roamed around the house for a little bit?
The Getaway Car Looked Sharp
A man reported that the tire rims from both his Ferrari and Porsche were stolen from the cars while they were parked at his Southampton home. The rims are quite expensive, practically matching the cost of what you'd pay for a new car these days. Well, certain new cars.
Shelter Island Serenade
Old Man McGumbus—103 years old, 1926 American Karate Champion and former World War II Green Beret—was arrested last week on charges of disturbing the peace by playing an extended mash-up of "Musetta's Waltz" and "Gangnam Style" on the accordion at 3 a.m. while standing outside the home of Biggles Watlington, the current Structures and Business Inspector on Shelter Island. The two men are currently in a legal dispute regarding how many live Bengal tigers McGumbus is allowed to have on his property.
The New Math
A woman who was convicted of stealing $500,000 from a local business she was working for in East Hampton was recently sentenced to 30 days in jail and will be expected to pay $2,000 a month for five years. Steal half a million dollars, go to jail for 30 days, pay $120,000…does the math seem right to you?

Portugal tries to overcome 'Conference on the Future of Europe' deadlock powered by
Borissov: 'Absolute non-solidarity' reigns in the EU
By Georgi Gotev | EURACTIV.com
Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov. [European Commission]
Languages: Français
Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov made use of anti-EU rhetoric ahead of a visit to Turkey tomorrow (26 August), describing Ankara as Sofia's only ally in the context of the refugee crisis.
Speaking at a government session on 24 August, Borissov said he sees "no perspective" for a solution to the migration crisis.
"To the contrary, I see country after country in panic, individual solutions, and to point at a certain article in the EU treaties which gives them such right, because even the big countries in Europe are not only overwhelmed [by refugees], but their societies panic and fight back," he said.
For this reason, Borissov stated, Bulgaria should try to maintain, at maximum, "working, pragmatic, goodwill relations" with its neighbours. He added that Bulgaria had forced over 26,000 illegal migrants from the border, and that Turkey accepted this procedure, despite the fact that the EU-Turkey readmission agreement is not yet in force.
The European Commission has previously said that push-backs of refugees are illegal, but has not repeated this position in recent times.
Commission: Refugee push-backs are illegal
The European Commission indirectly warned Greece and Bulgaria today (19 November) to stop turning down Syrian refugees at their borders with Turkey, after the UN issued a similar call just a few days before.
Borissov also said that Serbia had sealed its border with Bulgaria, and that migrants who arrive in his country remain stranded there. He added that Bulgaria's reception centres had reached their maximum capacity, and that new facilities were needed.
In this context, he blamed EU countries who want to return migrants to Bulgaria.
"Germany says – we will return 20,000 to Hungary. Hungary says – we will return them to the Balkans. And we from the Balkans, to whom shall we return them? We didn't want them. We didn't invite them. We cannot be blamed for the bombardments there [the 1999 NATO airstrikes against Yugoslavia]. Where can we return them? What kind of Union is that", Borissov lamented.
The Bulgarian leader responded to critics who blame him for the extradition to Turkey of an alleged supporter of Fetullah Gülen, the US-exiled cleric accused by Ankara of masterminding the 15 July coup.
Bulgarians outraged by deportation of Gülen supporter to Turkey
Bulgarian NGOs, columnists and a junior coalition partner in Boyko Borissov's government have all expressed outrage at the news of the extradition to Turkey of an alleged supporter of Fetullah Gülen, the US-exiled cleric accused by Ankara of masterminding the 15 July coup.
"There are many philosophers, there are many democrats, but if 10,000 more [migrants] enter Bulgaria, you will stop talking about culture, sport, tourism and all the rest," he said.
In Turkey, Borissov will attend the inauguration of a new bridge at the Bosporus on Friday (26 August) morning, and is expected to have talks with his Turkish counterpart Binali Yıldırım. Initially, Borissov planned to meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel that day, who has organised a meeting in Berlin with leaders of eight European countries on the refugee crisis. Merkel is reported to have agreed to postpone the meeting for Saturday, in order to be debriefed by Borissov on his Turkish talks.
New type of migrants
Borissov also said that the profile of the migrants had changed, and that they had become "dangerous". In this context, he also warned against local vigilantes trying to arrest illegal migrants, as such practice has developed in recent months.
Broad Bulgarian support for vigilantes 'arresting' refugees
An amateur video published on social media yesterday (11 April), showing the arrest of asylum seekers by vigilantes, sparked debates at political level and among the wider public about the role of so-called "patriots" in discouraging refugees from crossing through Bulgaria.
Borissov said that border guards told him that the majority were young men from Iraq and Afghanistan, who were fast, athletic and had no difficulty in crossing the border fence. Some of them use luxury cars to transport refugees across the country, he said.
The Bulgarian premier cited a new tactic used by migrants to avoid being pushed back. In a group of 50 to 60 migrants, one of them decides to sacrifice himself, pretending he is a drug trafficker, and the others become witnesses to the investigation, which allows them to remain in Bulgaria.
"One of them carries say 300 grams of heroin, tells the border guard he carries drugs. Which border guard would not arrest him? And the others say – yes, he carries heroin, and we are witnesses. And a long process begins", Borissov said.
EURACTIV asked the Commission to comment on the statement by the prime minister of a member country, who blames the EU for "absolute non-solidarity" in the case of the refugee crisis. Commission spokesperson Alexander Winterstein insisted that the Commission's proposals to respond to the crisis were based precisely on solidarity.
It cannot be left to the coincidence of geography that one country would shoulder the entire burden and the other would be standing by, the spokesperson added.
"Clearly, the situation is not satisfactory", he recognised.

Tory Lanez Faces New Felony Charge, Kylie Jenner Could Testify In Trial
Tory Lanez is facing a new felony charge in his ongoing Megan Thee Stallion assault case
According to reports, the prosecution in the felony assault trial of Tory Lanez has added a third felony trial. The third charge- discharging a firearm in a grossly negligent manner to cause bodily injury was filed on Monday morning, the Shade Room quoted an insider.
Tory Lanez was back in court on Monday (December 5), where Superior Court Judge David Herriford lifted his house arrest order. The case preparation has advanced now to the jury selection stage, and the trial is scheduled to start on December 12.
So far, the prosecution and defense have shared their possible witnesses with Lanez, now stating that his "possible defense witnesses" are likely to be Kylie Jenner and Corey Gamble.
"Everything Started There," Lanez's attorney George Mgdesyan said in court, hinting that there was an argument that began at a pool party hosted by Jenner that Tory, the victim Megan Thee Stallion, her best friend Kelsey Harris, and a bodyguard all attended.
It was later revealed that Tory's lawyer said that the artist's legal team did not have witness statements from Kylie or Gamble when asked by prosecutors. According to Rolling Stone, a determination as to the admissibility of those witnesses will have to be made by the court as to the relevancy of their evidence to the shooting.
In the meantime, Tory's $350,000 bond stands despite his release on house arrest. The artist was freed after his attorneys made representation on his behalf to ensure trial preparation. After listening to objections from the district attorney's office that the artist is likely to tamper with witnesses, the judge stated that he needed to be accessible during the trial preparation process.
Megan Thee Stallion has been quiet as the case gets underway. The Houston artist was allegedly shot and injured on July 12, 2020, after leaving a pool party hosted by Kylie Jenner. Kylie Jenner and Corey have also remained mum on the matter, and Kylie has also appeared to cut ties with both Megan and Tory as she unfollowed them after the incident.
In the meantime, Tory's attorneys have not addressed the new charge being added. He is already facing 22 years in jail if convicted on the two charges he is facing- one count of assault with a semi-automatic firearm in a manner to inflict bodily injury and one count of carrying a concealed, loaded, and unregistered firearm.
