No country in this world is self-sufficient, and it has to take help of the financial organizations and other nations to get financial assistance especially who are on the way to development. To know about the creditworthiness of a country's economy, its debt and deficit are considered. Debt is the loan taken by the government of any country, whereas Deficit is the excess of government expenditure over government revenue.
Here, debt refers to the government debt, or national debt and deficit are the budgetary deficit. Debt is the ultimate result of the deficit, i.e. if there is a continuous deficit in a country's economy, it will accumulate debt. These words will sound same to a common man, but they carry different meanings. In the article presented below, we have explained the substantial differences between deficit and debt.
Meaning When the government spending is higher than the government revenue, this is known as deficit. A sum of money owed by the central government of the country to other lenders or countries is known as debt.
Represents Country's annual borrowing requirement. Debt built over the past years.
Constant Yes, it can be constant if the government spent money in a planned manner. No, it cannot be constant.
In simple terms, the deficit means a shortfall of something. Here, the term represents the excess of expenditure done by the government over its revenue, during a particular period of time. It is commonly known as a budget deficit.
The government of every country prepares a budget for the next year that shows the receipts from taxes, penalties, fees, duties, etc. and outlays on various developmental activities like expenses on infrastructure, education, medical, defense, technological advancement and so on.
If the receipts and outlays are equal, the budget is said to be balanced. But, if the inflows exceed outflows, the budget shows the surplus, while if the outflows are greater than inflows, it shows a budget deficit.
The budget deficit is used to know the liabilities of the government and the financial health of the country. The government can take several steps to counter the deficit like pre-planned government expenditure, increasing revenues from taxes and initiating economic growth.
Debt shows liability. Here we are talking about, government debt or national debt. When the government of any country borrows money, from the financial institution or other countries, to fulfill its deficit is known as debt. It is nothing but the sum total of the deficit of all previous years.
Internal Debt: Financial assistance taken from lenders, within the country.
Grants: When the money is taken in the form of grants, the repayment of the obligation is not required.
Loans: When the money is borrowed as a loan, there is an obligation to repay the principal and interest as well.
The deficit is defined as the shortfall of the country's income over expenses. Debt is the sum of money owed by the nation's government to others.
The deficit is the major cause of a country's debt as when there is a deficit in the budget, it will take the loan from the lenders, other countries or financial organization to fill up the difference.
The deficit is for one year only, i.e. it reflects the excess of government expenditure over its earnings in a financial year. Conversely, Debt is the sum total of all the money owed by the government of a country during its past years.
The deficit can be of two types, structural and cyclical while debt is categorized as internal debt and external debt.
If the government carefully spends its money, then the amount of the deficit can be constant, year on year, however, the amount of debt cannot be constant.
The deficit represents the total annual borrowing but debt represents the total outstanding amount accumulated during past years.
As we all know that the amount of the increase in the deficit will automatically increase the debt of the country with the same amount. However, if there is a reduction in the deficit, it does not mean that there will be a reduction in the debt with the same amount.
You can understand this with an example: If in the year 2013-14, a country's deficit is 20 million and in 2014-15 the deficit is 15 million, there is a reduction in the deficit of 5 million, this year as compared to the last year. But it cannot be said that the country's debt had also fallen down by 5 million because there is a deficit of 15 million which will add to the debt.

You can also consider how well maintained the SEO content will be and how frequently it will be updated. With that, you will be sure to have a clear pick for the job.


Here's a real marvel I kept wondering how You got such a textural effect (apart from such rich coloring), dear Brett!
Interesting. Had to really reduce it to see the whole pic on my monitor without having to scroll.
This one seems very verbal. Since the tree limbs and trunk is so fantastically shaped and says tree limbs because of context rather than verisimilitude, it becomes like a comment or metaphor for something less grounded than a picture about a tree.
What I got was an old Earthy shaman (the mountain is shaped like a blanket draped over the head) sitting before a fire in a divination ritual, before ascending streams of smoke (the white limbs). The pom-pom shaped clusters of leaves at the end of each white line are possibly different angles on a subject he or she is attempting to divine -- sort of like thought bubbles coming up from the head of a cartoon character showing the reader what they're thinking. Or they could also be like native American smoke signals. And the interpretation is not yet apparent. To me this could be entitled "The Question".
On a different tack, knowing what's been happening with earthquakes in your area, I can't help but think this has some of that pressure release imagery as well. That mountain on the right looks like it has an opening somewhat in the middle, like an old volcano. And the steam comes up out of fissures here and there as well. It's an integrated dance between the deep earth and the surface life. I suppose those crossroads where worlds meet are always the places for divination and accumulating knowledge less possible to be had deeper in one camp or the other. It's a special place.
Caesar I have sent you a PM about textures.
Mr Dakey the things you see in paintings are truly wonderful. The earthquakes seems to be diminishing in size and frequency. At least I slept last night.

Thank You very much, dear Brett. I saw it. You're a fantastic friend. I unfortunately have to wait this evening to see it because my office tools follow rigid security rules, so I cannot apparently enjoy Your dropbox information right now.
You are welcome Caesar and thanks Kemo.

Tesla Stock Plunged Due to Fear of Auto Tariffs from China
BYEsha Dey and Bloomberg
May 13, 2019, 7:14 PM UTC
The re-escalation of the U.S.-China trade war is hitting Tesla Inc. shares hardest among major automakers, with investors betting it won't be long before cars crossing the two countries' borders are again subject to bigger tariffs.
Tesla plunged as much as 6.3% to $224.50, the lowest intraday since January 2017, after China defied U.S. President Donald Trump by announcing plans to raise duties on $60 billion worth of American imports starting June 1.
While motor vehicles were left off Beijing's list of goods that China announced Monday it will hit with additional tariffs of as much as 25%, the respite may not last for long. A next salvo is anticipated within hours, with the Trump administration expected to provide details of its plans to impose a 25% additional tariff on all remaining imports from China — some $300 billion in trade.
Tesla led the 27-member Bloomberg World Auto Manufacturers Index down as much as 1.6% to the lowest intraday since Jan. 7. The lone gainers in the index were four Japanese automakers whose shares had finished trading before China announced measures to retaliate against tariffs the Trump administration put in place late last week.
Germany's BMW AG and Daimler AG are the biggest importers of U.S.-built vehicles into China. Their shares closed down 1.2% and 3.3%, respectively, in Frankfurt. General Motors Co. slumped as much as 3.8% while Ford Motor Co. fell as much as 3.3%.
This year already was shaping up to be the worst one yet for Tesla. The only year in which the stock recorded an annual drop was 2016, when the shares declined 11%.
Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk has struggled to reassure investors about the record decline in quarterly vehicle deliveries Tesla registered in the first quarter. The company broke ground on a battery and vehicle factory on the outskirts of Shanghai in January, and Musk, 47, has said it could be producing as many as 2,000 cars a week by the end of this year.
China's auto market is in the midst of its worst slump in a generation. Sales have dropped each of the last 11 months as trade tensions, a slowing economy and broader consumption trends weigh on demand. GM, one of the largest foreign automakers in the country, slashed local production by almost 20% in the first three months of the year and plans to keep taking measures to reduce inventory in the second quarter.
"You can't control tweets; you can't control trade tensions," GM Chief Financial Officer Dhivya Suryadevara told analysts Monday during an investor presentation. "We are controlling everything we can control."

Kigali, Rwanda – March 26, 2019: Sustained infrastructure development is required across Africa to boost the prospects of integrated trade on the continent, Sahara Group has stated, as business leaders gather in Kigali, Rwanda for the 7th edition of the Africa CEO Forum.
Uzokwe noted that the disparity in landscape composition across the continent is one of the most daunting barriers to economic development.
According to her, "There's no doubt that infrastructure development should be accorded a prominent position on the agenda for the continent's CEOs. The non-uniformity of Africa's landscape confers some measure of advantage on countries with coastal lines as against nations that are landlocked. How to navigate this and other challenges to facilitate an integrated trade scenario remains a critical issue. The business community must be prepared to articulate a collaborative position that will address the achievement of the estimated $170 billion infrastructure funding gap in Africa," she stated.
Scheduled to attend several meetings to push this position, Uzokwe will also join the AFRICA CEO's Women in Business Initiative workshop dedicated to "Drafting a gender diversity charter to reach equality in the workplace".
She said all stakeholders billed to attend the meeting are confident that the charter would drive specific actions geared towards ensuring there is adequate representation of approximately half the world's population while becoming a catalyst for increasing female representation and retention at various levels of organizational hierarchies.
Uzokwe added that she was hopeful that the charter would also inspire more interventions to drive gender equality and more access to education for girls and women in Africa. "We are intentional about women empowerment and gender parity at Sahara Group and will continue to lead conversations and collaborations in this regard. Our support for women goes beyond just our employees as over two million people have benefitted from Sahara Foundation's projects, with women and girls accounting for over 50% of the beneficiaries. Some of the initiatives include eye care programmes, scholarships, literacy development programmes, career guidance programmes and water & sanitation programmes and will continually look for ways to encourage sustainable growth and development in this regard".


The European Parliament adopted by 594 votes to 71, with 10 abstentions, a resolution on the proposal for a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for an amount of EUR 3 957 918 in commitment and payment appropriations to assist Sweden affected by redundancies in the telecommunications sector. Parliament recalled that the Union has set up legislative and budgetary instruments to provide additional support to workers who are suffering from the consequences of major structural changes in world trade patterns or of the global financial and economic crisis and to assist their reintegration into the labour market. Swedish application: Sweden submitted application EGF/2016/002 SE/Ericsson for a financial contribution from the EGF, following redundancies in the economic sector classified under the NACE Revision 2 Division 26 (Manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products) mainly in the NUTS level 2 regions of Stockholm, Östra Mellansverige, Sydsverige and Västsverige. 918 out of 1556 redundant workers eligible for the EGF contribution are expected to participate in in the measures. The application was submitted under the intervention criteria of point (a) of Article 4(1) of the EGF Regulation, which requires at least 500 workers being made redundant over a reference period of four months in an enterprise in a Member State, including workers made redundant by suppliers and downstream producers and/or self-employed persons whose activity has ceased. Therefore, Sweden is eligible for a financial contribution. Nature of the redundancies: Parliament revealed that the IT and telecommunication industries are dominated by Asian manufacturers which have become an outsourcing destination. Ericsson has gradually been cutting staff in Sweden (from 21 178 in 2005 to 17 858 in 2014), but in the meantime been growing tremendously worldwide (from 56 055 in 2005 to 118 055 in 2014). It also emphasised that the regions affected are faced with a relatively large group of older workers with similar backgrounds who have been made redundant at the same time and that most of them, particularly those located in Kista, the town with the highest number of redundancies, do not possess the skills sought by the local labour market. A package of personalised services: Parliament recalled the diversity of employees, both blue- and white-collar, affected by the redundancies. It is concerned that some workers face a labour market with rather low demand in traditional manufacturing industries. It recognised that most of the affected white-collar workers are engineers, some of whom are specialised in niches that are unique to Ericsson. It also recognised that most of the affected white-collar workers are engineers, some of whom are specialised in niches that are unique to Ericsson. They noted that the EGF co-funded personalised services for the redundant workers include: counselling and career guidance; sheltered and supported employment and rehabilitation measures; education and training; job search allowances. It welcomed the special emphasis that will be placed on participants aged 50 and above when providing motivational coaching and career planning. It noted that the income support measures amount to 33.92 % of the overall package of personalised measures, close to the maximum 35 % set out in the EGF Regulation. These actions are conditional on the active participation of the targeted beneficiaries in job-search or training activities. Parliament called on the Commission to further set out, in future proposals, the sectors in which the workers are likely to find employment and if the training on offer is aligned to the future economic prospects and labour market needs in the regions concerned by the dismissals. It noted that the Swedish authorities have confirmed that the proposed actions will not receive financial support from other Union funds or financial instruments, that any double financing will be prevented and that those actions are complementary to actions funded by the Structural Funds. It also recalled the importance of improving the employability of all workers by means of adapted training and the recognition of skills and competences gained throughout a worker's professional career. Lastly, Parliament reiterated that assistance from the EGF must not replace actions which are the responsibility of companies by virtue of national law or collective agreements nor of measures for restructuring companies or sectors.

PURPOSE: to mobilise the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) to assist Sweden in respect of redundancies in telecommunications sector. PROPOSED ACT: Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council. CONTENT: Article 12 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 laying down the multiannual financial framework for the years 2014-2020 provides that the EGF is not to exceed a maximum annual amount of EUR 150 million (2011 prices). The rules applicable to financial contributions from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) are laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2014-2020) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006. Against this backdrop, the Commission examined the application to mobilise the EGF to assist Sweden and expressed its position as follows: Sweden: EGF/2016/002 SE/Ericsson: on 31 March 2016, Sweden submitted an application EGF/2016/002 SE/Ericsson for a financial contribution from the EGF, following redundancies in Ericsson in Sweden. Sweden submitted application EGF/2016/002 SE/Ericsson within 12 weeks of the date on which the intervention criteria set out the EGF Regulation. This deadline expires on 5 September 2016. In order to establish the link between the redundancies and major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation, Sweden argues that the redundancies occurred in the telecom hardware production business line of Ericsson. In the past years, Ericsson has concentrated most of its hardware production and development facilities in Asia, where not only the strongest growth markets are located, but also equivalent quality can be delivered at lower costs. According to data published by Ericsson, the company has gradually been cutting staff in Sweden (from 21 178 in 2005 to 17 858 in 2014), but in the meantime been growing tremendously worldwide (from 56 055 in 2005 to 118 055 in 2014), India currently being the country with the largest number of employees. The events giving rise to these redundancies are the partial or entire closure of wireless telecom hardware production lines at various Ericsson sites (Borås, Karlskrona, Kista/Stockholm, Kumla, Linköping and Gothenburg) in Sweden, and the closure of an entire plant in the city of Katrineholm. Facing stagnating growth and simultaneously facing harder competition with Asian producers, Ericsson has been scaling down telecom hardware production, a process that started almost two decades ago. The company sold its entire mobile phone development and production line to competitor Sony in February 2012. Ericsson is concentrating its remaining hardware production lines at production sites in Asia. To date, the NACE 2 Division 26 sector has been the subject of another 14 EGF applications, 11 of which based on trade related globalisation and 3 on the global financial and economic crisis. The application relates to 1 556 workers made redundant in Ericsson (Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson). Ericsson operates primarily in the economic sectors classified under the NACE Revision 2 Division 26 (Manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products) and 62 (Computer programming, consultancy and related activities). The redundancies made by Ericsson are mainly located in the NUTS level 2 regions of Stockholm (SE11) and Östra Mellansverige (SE12), but also in Sydsverige (SE22) and Västsverige (SE23). Basis of the Swedish application: Sweden submitted the application under the intervention criteria of Article 4(1)(a) of the EGF Regulation, which requires at least 500 workers being made redundant over a reference period of four months in an enterprise in a Member State. The reference period of four months for the application runs from 11 September 2015 to 11 January 2016. The redundancies concern 1 244 workers made redundant in Ericsson. In addition to the workers already referred to, the eligible beneficiaries include 312 workers made redundant before or after the reference period of four months. These workers were all made redundant after the general announcement of the projected redundancies on 11 September 2015. The Swedish authorities declared that these redundancies were all part of the same redundancy procedure, but some redundancies were only announced after the end of the reference period. The total number of eligible beneficiaries is therefore 1 556. The Commission proposes to mobilise the EGF for the amount of EUR 3 957 918. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: having examined the application in respect of the conditions set out in Article 13(1) of the EGF Regulation, and having taken into account the number of targeted beneficiaries, the proposed actions and the estimated costs, the Commission proposes to mobilise the EGF for the amount of EUR 3 957 918, representing 60 % of the total costs of the proposed actions, in order to provide a financial contribution for the application. The proposed decision to mobilise the EGF will be taken jointly by the European Parliament and the Council, as laid down in point 13 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 2 December 2013 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management. At the same time as it presents this proposal for a decision to mobilise the EGF, the Commission will present to the European Parliament and to the Council a proposal for a transfer to the relevant budgetary line for the requested amount. At the same time as it adopts this proposal for a decision to mobilise the EGF, the Commission will adopt a decision on a financial contribution, by means of an implementing act, which will enter into force on the date at which the European Parliament and the Council adopt the proposed decision to mobilise the EGF.
6 b. Recognises that most of the affected white-collar workers are engineers, some of whom are specialised in niches that are unique to Ericsson, but welcomes the confidence of the Swedish PES that a personalised package of training programmes and coaching will enable most of those redundant employees to find new jobs of high quality.

The rules applicable to financial contributions from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) are laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2014-2020) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006.
Sweden: EGF/2016/002 SE/Ericsson: on 31 March 2016, Sweden submitted an application EGF/2016/002 SE/Ericsson for a financial contribution from the EGF, following redundancies in Ericsson in Sweden.
Sweden submitted application EGF/2016/002 SE/Ericsson within 12 weeks of the date on which the intervention criteria set out the EGF Regulation. This deadline expires on 5 September 2016.
In order to establish the link between the redundancies and major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation, Sweden argues that the redundancies occurred in the telecom hardware production business line of Ericsson.
In the past years, Ericsson has concentrated most of its hardware production and development facilities in Asia, where not only the strongest growth markets are located, but also equivalent quality can be delivered at lower costs.
According to data published by Ericsson, the company has gradually been cutting staff in Sweden (from 21 178 in 2005 to 17 858 in 2014), but in the meantime been growing tremendously worldwide (from 56 055 in 2005 to 118 055 in 2014), India currently being the country with the largest number of employees.
The events giving rise to these redundancies are the partial or entire closure of wireless telecom hardware production lines at various Ericsson sites (Borås, Karlskrona, Kista/Stockholm, Kumla, Linköping and Gothenburg) in Sweden, and the closure of an entire plant in the city of Katrineholm.
Facing stagnating growth and simultaneously facing harder competition with Asian producers, Ericsson has been scaling down telecom hardware production, a process that started almost two decades ago. The company sold its entire mobile phone development and production line to competitor Sony in February 2012. Ericsson is concentrating its remaining hardware production lines at production sites in Asia.
To date, the NACE 2 Division 26 sector has been the subject of another 14 EGF applications, 11 of which based on trade related globalisation and 3 on the global financial and economic crisis.
The application relates to 1 556 workers made redundant in Ericsson (Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson). Ericsson operates primarily in the economic sectors classified under the NACE Revision 2 Division 26 (Manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products) and 62 (Computer programming, consultancy and related activities). The redundancies made by Ericsson are mainly located in the NUTS level 2 regions of Stockholm (SE11) and Östra Mellansverige (SE12), but also in Sydsverige (SE22) and Västsverige (SE23).
Basis of the Swedish application: Sweden submitted the application under the intervention criteria of Article 4(1)(a) of the EGF Regulation, which requires at least 500 workers being made redundant over a reference period of four months in an enterprise in a Member State. The reference period of four months for the application runs from 11 September 2015 to 11 January 2016.
The redundancies concern 1 244 workers made redundant in Ericsson. In addition to the workers already referred to, the eligible beneficiaries include 312 workers made redundant before or after the reference period of four months. These workers were all made redundant after the general announcement of the projected redundancies on 11 September 2015.
The Swedish authorities declared that these redundancies were all part of the same redundancy procedure, but some redundancies were only announced after the end of the reference period. The total number of eligible beneficiaries is therefore 1 556.
The Commission proposes to mobilise the EGF for the amount of EUR 3 957 918.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: having examined the application in respect of the conditions set out in Article 13(1) of the EGF Regulation, and having taken into account the number of targeted beneficiaries, the proposed actions and the estimated costs, the Commission proposes to mobilise the EGF for the amount of EUR 3 957 918, representing 60 % of the total costs of the proposed actions, in order to provide a financial contribution for the application.
The proposed decision to mobilise the EGF will be taken jointly by the European Parliament and the Council, as laid down in point 13 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 2 December 2013 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management.
At the same time as it presents this proposal for a decision to mobilise the EGF, the Commission will present to the European Parliament and to the Council a proposal for a transfer to the relevant budgetary line for the requested amount.
At the same time as it adopts this proposal for a decision to mobilise the EGF, the Commission will adopt a decision on a financial contribution, by means of an implementing act, which will enter into force on the date at which the European Parliament and the Council adopt the proposed decision to mobilise the EGF.

It's the grape I love to hate, yet each year I find myself liking more and more of them. It's a dichotomy I have to live with. I declare that I am an ABCer (Anything But Chardonnay) yet I know I'm going to score at least a dozen every year as amazing.
Chardonnay is one of those wines in which most people know what they don't like; but can't quite put their finger on what it is they do like: is it the butter, the vanilla, the peach, the apple or is it something undefinable? But you know it when you taste it.
For parties and gift giving Chardonnay is the safest bet … it's well known and when you hear your hosts are "white wine drinkers" it's easy to gravitate towards it.
It's easily recognizable yet hard to get a handle on – check out these Chardonnays that have crossed my radar over the past 3 months … I just know this list will grow as the year progresses.
one of the better Chards in this release: apple and pineapple notes with hints of spiced vanilla; good value.
Subtle pineapple and some spice on the nose; palate has peach with a touch of vanilla-spice; nicely balanced.
Pear with floral notes on the nose; and has a pleasantly exotic palate.

La battaglia di Leitzersdorf fu una battaglia combattuta tra Sacro Romano Impero e Regno d'Ungheria nel 1484. Alimentata dai primi conflitti di Mattia Corvino e Federico III del Sacro Romano Impero, la battaglia marcò la fine dei preparativi anti-ottomani e l'inizio della guerra santa. Fu l'unica battaglia della guerra austro-ungherese a svolgersi in campo aperto.

Antefatto
Sin dal positivo assedio di Hainburg nell'ottobre del 1482 la regina Beatrice di Napoli lavorò per restaurare la pace. Nel 1482 ella inviò il prevosto di Bratislava, Georg Schönberg, Johann Hessler, il decano di Friesach e Gerhard Peuscheren, locum tenens di Fresach, a mediare con Johann Beckensloer arcivescovo di Vienna e consigliere dell'imperatore. L'intenzione della regina era che Beckensloer potesse avere più influenza come pacificatore che un ufficiale imperiale. L'arcivescovo venne allettato dall'idea di potersi far carico di riportare Salisburgo pienamente nelle mani austriache e nel contempo di risolvere un conflitto epocale, dal momento che per quanto l'imperatore avesse chiesto più volte la restituzione dei territori occupati dagli ungheresi questo avvenne solo alla morte di Mattia.
L'anno successivo, la guerra riprese malgrado i negoziati dal momento che le due parti non riuscirono a raggiungere un accordo. Nel gennaio del 1483 Kőszeg venne catturata e nell'aprile anche Klosterneuburg cadde e costanti saccheggi minarono a indebolire il nemico.
Mattia per concentrare le sue forze contro l'imperatore nel gennaio del 1483 inviò degli agenti alla Sublime Porta per dare inizio ai negoziati e concordare un cessate il fuoco, che ebbero esito positivo. La sua prima azione fu quella di informare di questa pace i principi del Sacro Romano Impero, dicendo loro inoltre di non essere più disposto a difendere la cristianità se avesse dovuto farlo da solo.

Premessa

Gli ungheresi attaccarono la Bassa Austria da tre direzioni. István Dávidházy marciò su Bruck an der Leitha e la assediò. Il 24 febbraio la città si arrese ed il 12 marzo il castello venne conquistato anch'esso. La seconda ondata venne diretta dal capitano Tobias von Boskowitz und Černahora che raggiunse Krems e Stein ed attese poi presso l'isola sul fiume locale. La terza armata era guidata da Péter Geréb ed invase il Ducato di Stiria ed il Ducato di Carinzia per bloccare le forze imperiali ed impedire la loro riunione. Nel frattempo, Mattia occupò Kahlenberg nell'aprile di quell'anno e Dávidházy iniziò ad accerchiare Korneuburg. L'imperatore decise di riprendere la città e tentò di creare una flotta di dodici navi di rifornimenti da inviare verso la città per spingerla a resistere. Il capitano del forte, Burghard Kienberger, riuscì a resistere sino all'arrivo dei rinforzi. Informato dell'avanzata degli austriaci, Dávidházi optò per uno scontro preventivo nei pressi della vicina Stockerau.

La battaglia
Durante le prime fasi della battaglia, la cavalleria imperiale ottenne un certo vantaggio e fece retrocedere l'Armata Nera. Le truppe imperiali occuparono e poi abbandonarono il campo ungherese, saccheggiandolo. Vedendo la possibilità di raggrupparsi, Dávidházy pianificò un contrattacco e batté gli imperiali. La cavalleria pesante ungherese attaccò l'ala imperiale per un'ora, ma collassò e dovette poi lasciare il campo di battaglia. Dopo che Dávidházi fu ritornato all'assedio di Korneuburg venne colpito da un proiettile e morì poco dopo. Mattia prese il controllo della carica di cavalleria e la battaglia fu vinta dagli ungheresi.

Conseguenze
La città di Korneuburg si arrese il 1º dicembre dopo che Mattia ottenne altri  uomini dalla Slesia. Il ritiro dell'esercito imperiale fu l'unica scelta per dividere le forze sulle fortezze rimanenti e perlomeno rallentare l'avanzata di Mattia, non essendo in posizione tale da prendere iniziative sul campo. Il resto della Bassa Austria venne annesso l'anno successivo e Federico dovette siglare una pace con Mattia permettendogli di mantenere le proprie conquiste. Il conflitto ad ogni modo aggravò le relazioni tra le due parti. Mentre gran parte delle sue armate erano d'istanza nella regione nord-ovest dell'Ungheria, Mattia non fu in grado di impedire agli ottomani di entrare in Bessarabia e poi persino in Ungheria in quello stesso anno.

Know your own happiness. Want for nothing but patience – or give it a more fascinating name: Call it hope.
You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever.
Jane Austen is born in Steventon, England on December 16, 1775. She is the seventh of eight children born to William and Cassandra Austen, and one of only two daughters. Throughout her life, her older sister, also named Cassandra after her mother, is her closest friend.
Cassandra and Jane Austen are sent to Oxford, England to be educated by a private tutor named Ann Cawley. Both girls contract typhoid fever during an outbreak and return home to Steventon.
Austen enrolls in boarding school at Abbey School in Reading.
The family's money runs out and Austen returns to Steventon from boarding school. The rest of her education is completed at home from her father's voluminous library. Austen lives with her parents and sister for the rest of her life.
Austen begins Lady Susan, a novella told in the form of a series of letters. She works on it for two years.
Austen meets Tom LeFroy, an Irish law student who is the nephew of her neighbor. Austen and LeFroy spend time together during his month-long visit to Steventon. He leaves in January 1796 and soon becomes engaged to someone else, ending whatever relationship they had. Austen writes affectionately of LeFroy to her sister, prompting later speculation that he is the real-life inspiration for her male characters.
Austen completes the first draft of First Impressions, the novel that later becomes Pride and Prejudice.
Austen moves with her parents to the resort town of Bath, England, after her father's retirement from clergy.
Just before her 27th birthday, Jane Austen receives her only marriage proposal. A recent Oxford grad named Harris Bigg-Wither proposes to Austen while she is visiting his sisters. Realizing that the marriage would be good for her family's circumstances, Austen accepts. The next morning, however, she changes her mind and withdraws her acceptance. Bigg-Wither marries two years later; Austen never does.
Austen sells a novel called Susan to a publisher for £10. But the book is never published, and Austen's family later buys back the rights to the work.
Jane's father William George Austen dies, leaving his wife and sisters financially dependent on his sons. The Austen women first rent a house in Bath, then move in with Jane's brother Frank and his wife.
Austen publishes Sense and Sensibility, whose author is identified on the cover only as "a Lady." Austen's name is not attached to any of the novels she publishes during her lifetime.
Pride and Prejudice is published.
The librarian of the Prince Regent (later King George IV), a big fan of Austen's work, invites her to the prince's London home and suggests that she dedicate her soon-to-be-published book to him. Austen is not a fan of the prince, but is unable to say no. Emma is published the next month with a dedication to the prince. It is the last novel published in her lifetime.
Austen begins to feel the first signs of a long, progressive illness that saps her energy. She continues to work on two novels, Persuasion and Northanger Abbey, but is delayed by her illness and by financial troubles caused by the failure of her brother Henry's bank.
Jane Austen dies on July 18, 1817, at the age of 41. She is buried in Winchester Cathedral..
Austen's final novels, Persuasion and Northanger Abbey (a rewrite of the unpublished novel Susan), are posthumously published together in one volume. A biographical note by her brother Henry publicly identifies her for the first time as the author of her previous novels.
Austen's nephew James Edward Austen-Leigh publishes a biography of his aunt entitled A Memoir of Jane Austen. The memoir sparks renewed interest in the writer.
The first popular editions of Austen's novels are published, sparking Austen fandom that continues to this day. Critic (and father of Virginia Woolf) Leslie Stephens calls her rabid following "Austenolatry."

Taiwan Buklod compete in SOFLAH district finals
By ALEXANDRIA ALFONSO and ANTONIO G. CAÑAVERAL JR.
Date Posted: May 9, 2021
The finalists in the Buklod edition of Songs of Faith, Love, and Hope (SOFLAH) from the Ecclesiastical District of Taiwan gave their best performances during the district finals that was held on April 25, 2021.
Family members of the competitors gathered at Zhongli Function Hall in Taoyuan City, Taiwan to give and show support. Other brethren, from their respective homes, also witnessed the event through livestreaming.
The finalists came from the area of Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, and Taichung. All made the event very special with their magnificent and melodious voice that enthralled the audience.
The judges scored the contestants based on voice quality, rhythm, vocal expression, and stage presence. These were then tallied and averaged later during the competition.
Brethren from the Taichung area cheered with joy as Zerna Sabado, from the Local Congregation of Tanzi, was declared the champion. "My inspiration in singing in competitions such as this is my family, my husband, and love ones," said Zerna.
Brother Julius Caezar Santiago, district CFO overseer, supervised the activity and thanked the Church Administration for giving inspiration to the brethren to become stronger in the faith. ― With reports from INC News Section

This would be funny if it weren't for the harm being done to democracy. Once again, Kris Kobach's claims of voter fraud have been proven unfounded. Once again, it's been shown that despite having the power to investigate, uncover, and prosecute voter fraud throughout the state of Kansas, he simply can't find it. And now, having exposed himself as the class dunce, he's being forced to go back to school by a court of law.
Unfortunately, once again it's the citizens of this nation who are left in the dust, without a voice in our democracy.
Kobach is not only a dunce, but a liar as well. How else can one explain his continued insistence on the scourge of voter fraud, despite years of inability (and many taxpayer dollars spent) to find it? Sure, it could be his ineptitude. It's hard to doubt that as a factor in anything he does. But the continued pursuit of the bogeyman that obviously doesn't exist reveals a more sinister motive. As we know, keeping (certain) voters out of the polling booths is merely a means of maintaining a grip on power that would otherwise be at risk in a true democracy.
And let's not forget that Kobach is now a leading contender to become governor of Kansas. The voters in Kansas should be free to choose their elected officials. Hopefully they'll choose a governor that wants them to continue to have that choice.

Saddle Road Big Island
'Long Mountain' on Big Island
Mauna Loa, or 'Long Mountain' in Hawaiian, is located on the island of Hawaii. It rises 13,680 ft. (4,170 m) above sea level. Since 1843, Mauna Loa has erupted 34 times; its last eruption, before the news breaking 2022 eruption, was in 1984. Mauna Loa is a REALLY tall and big mountain.
Mauna Loa 2022 Eruption
For the first time in 38 years, after several months of increased seismic activity, Mauna Loa has started erupting. See our 'What's Happening Now' section on our Eruption Updates page for current information on both volcanoes.
2023 Big Island Visitor Guides
If you're visiting the Big Island of Hawaii soon, be sure to download your copy of one of our updated 2023 Big Island Visitor Guides. We've updated both travel guides with a lot of new great information for potential visitors (and those who've been a time or two as well).
Mauna Loa eruption in Northeast rift zone (Credit: Natalie Deligne/USGS )
At 60 miles long and 30 miles wide, it makes up half of the entire island. When one considers that the flanks of Mauna Loa sit on sea floor that is about 16,400 ft (5,000 M) deep, the "height" of this volcano relative to neighboring land (the sea floor) is more like 30,080 ft (9,170 m)! Mauna Loa is the largest active volcano in the world. In fact, using this last measure of its height, it is one of the tallest mountains in the world (although many mountains, such as Mt. Everest in the Himalaya mountain range, sit higher relative to sea level). All large land masses (such as mountains) also push down upon the Earth's crust due to their enormous weight. So, directly beneath Mauna Loa, the sea floor on which it sits is depressed by an additional 26,000 ft (8000 m). Thus, if one wanted to say how thick (at it's center) is the lava pile that makes up Mauna Loa, one would need to add its above sea level height, its sea floor to sea level height, and the thickness of its depression in the Pacific sea floor. These total 56,080 ft (17,170 m).
Top of Mauna Kea
Quite frankly folks... it's one big mountain. And right across from it on Saddle Road is the tallest mountain in the Pacific, Mauna Kea. Mauna Loa is a "shield volcano", which means it is a gently sloping mountain produced from a large number of generally very fluid lava flows. The volcano has been erupting for at least 100,000 years (possibly more) from a primary volcanic center that is presently manifested by Moku'aweoweo crater at the mountain's summit. It has produced both a'a and pahoehoe flows, and lesser amounts of pyroclastic deposits. Mauna Loa shares the Hawaiian hot spot with its smaller active siblings Kilauea and Loihi seamount. The earliest written account of a Mauna Loa eruption says an eruption took place in 1780. This is shortly after Captain Cook's first visit to the islands. In 1868, an eruption from Mauna Loa caused the largest recorded earthquake in Hawaii, a magnitude 8 by modern standards. The lava flow of 1855-1856 is said to be one of the greatest flows ever seen by modern observers.

Q: svn: How to automate commit transferring between branches I want to automate this process:

*

*A number comes from an external system, let's say 35.

*Search and find svn commits which have #35 in their comments on branch A.

*Make list of all the changes of these commits to the commits before them.

*Apply this changes to branch B.

For e.g. if rev 95 has #35 in its comments and introduced a new file over rev 94, add this [Add File x.txt]. And rev 132 has #35 in its comments and it changed a line in x.txt. Add this also [Change line n, file x.txt]. And so on. Now we have a list of changes:
[Add File x.txt]
[Change line n, file x.txt]
...

Apply this changes to branch B.
Can this be achieved on svn? What are the commands (or a way other than command line)? Does a documentation covering necessary commands for these operations exist out there?

A: You need to know the revision(s) that was just committed, then checkout/switch to branch B, and svn merge -c 123,125 if the revisions were 123 and 125.
See also SvnBook on merging

A: If your developers are disciplined enough to always write the ticket number in the commit log message, you can use this Perl script which searches for revisions where the log message contains a specified word.  First checkout a working copy of branch B, then inside the working copy, run
perl merge-ticket.pl searchWord sourceURL

specifying the ticket number and the repository URL for branch A.  The script merges the matching revisions from branch A into the working copy.
# merge-ticket.pl

Margin rules, or change bars, are annotations drawn alongside content, often to indicate where material has been added or revised.
A deletion marker is a special type of marker to indicate where content has been deleted. This type of marker does not have a start and end because it is used to mark a single point. Deletion markers are created using the <marginrule/> command.
The appearance of margin rules and deletion markers is controlled by the <marginrule-properties/> command.
To use margin rules the layout must define where they will be positioned.
