The ceremony drew over 100 dignitaries and veterans from throughout the state. Former American Legion State Commander Roger Gengaro recalled to the gathering how a letter he re- ceived in 2016 from former Hamburg Mayor John Yan- ish, a member of WPA Branch 51 Passaic, N.J., got the ball rolling. In his letter, Yanish noted that it was the intention of Col. Anthony Kuser, who donated his former sum- mer retreat here for the creation of a state park in 1923, to ensure a permanent place of honor for New Jersey’s veterans when he donated $500,000 for the building of a Photo by Daniel Freel, New Jersey Herald monument atop the state’s highest point. Branch 51 member John Yanish (left) is recognized by Gerald Kuser never lived to see the monument’s dedication, Sheard, chairman of the High Point Park Memorial Committee which took place in 1930, one year after he died. But, said Gengaro, “An important part of the donation Yanish--who participated in the building of the park of the land of the Kuser family was this beautiful monu- after joining the Civilian Conservation Corps when he ment, which was dedicated in ‘lasting tribute to the glory was 13 years old--finally saw his efforts come to fruition and eternal memory of New Jersey heroes by land, sea last month when bipartisan legislation enacting the name and air in all wars of our country.’ However, over the change was signed into law by Democratic Gov.

  • Német Népszokások, Hagyományok I. Húsvéti Hagyományok Az Ünnep
    Német népszokások, hagyományok I. Húsvéti hagyományok Az ünnep német elnevezése, az Ostern szó egy ősi germán istennő, Ostara nevéből származik, kinek ünnepe éppen a tavaszi napéjegyenlőség idejére esett. Húsvéti tűz – Osterfeuer Az egyik legismertebb német húsvéti szokás a húsvéti tüzek gyújtása, mely már az ősi germán tavaszünnep egyik fő látványossága is volt. Ma ezzel a tűzzel a keresztények Jézus feltámadását, az örök életet ünneplik, míg mások az élet éltetőjét, a napot köszöntik vele. Nagyszombaton vagy húsvét vasárnapján fadarabokból magas kupacot építenek a mezőn, a dombtetőn, vagy éppenséggel a templom előtt, majd lángba borítják. Korábban a máglyarakás és -gyújtás csak a férfiak kiváltsága volt, ma már ez egy igazi népünnepély, melyet talán a gyerekek élveznek a legjobban, mikor a kialvó tűz parazsában krumplit süthetnek. A fakupac tetejére néhol öreg méhkast vagy tojásokkal és szalagokkal feldíszített fenyőfát is állítanak, hogy a tüzet, mely az életet szimbolizálja, még jobban felszítsa. A tűz fényének szerencsehozó szerepet tulajdonítanak, így aki látja, szerencsefiává válik. Sőt azokat a házakat, amelyeket a húsvéti tűz fénye bevilágít, a tűzvésztől és minden betegségtől megóvja. A tűz átugrása is szerencsét jelent, fiatal szerelmespárok kéz a kézben ugranak át felette, hogy hosszú, szép jövőjük lehessen. A termelő gazdák pedig egy gazdag termés reményében ugornak át a nem veszélytelen tűz lángjai felett. Ám kinek a merész mutatvány nem sikerül, nagy bajt hoz magára, a néphit szerint még abban az évben meghal, hacsak nem kormozza be arcát a tűz hamvával. Egyes településeken nagy hagyománya van a húsvéti lángoló kerekek (Osterräder) gurításának. Lüdge (Ostwestfalen) és Günsterode (Nordhessen) városában húsvét vasárnapjának estéjén nagy tömeg gyűlik össze, hogy a hatalmas lángoló kerekeket legurítsák a dombról a völgybe.

  • Christmas in Milan
    Christmas in Milan My favourite time of the year arrived in Milan: Christmas. Lights and sparkling buildings everywhere. Christmas decoration above and around the entry of the fancy designer stores. A big plastic tree on the Piazza del Duomo. Christmas market around the Duomo. Christmas events. And did I mention the Swarovski tree and the international market? This is how I could typify the Holiday feeling in my Erasmus city. Despite of the first week of December which was a bit of a suffer for me - considering that I got sick- I still enjoyed preparing for the Holidays here. A dozens of people come here only to visit the previously mentioned international market. The market is about vendors coming to the city for one week from all over the world to sell unique, hand-crafted, high-quality creations. In addition to all of this, you can enjoy a series of musical and dance performances and try the best international cuisines. However, unfortunately I only know this from stories of friends who went there, since I wasn’t able to participate (again, because of my sickness). I even know a Hungarian seller who happened to sell clothes there. The big plastic tree located in front of Duomo, not only switches the lights of the colours to the rythm of the Christmas songs, but you can also go under the tree and admire it from the inside – which is actually much more beautiful and fun than from the outside. Moving on to the other Christmas tree, the swarovski tree can be found in the middle of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.

  • Analysis of the Impact of Temporarily Hired Workforce on Productivity Performance of a Manufacturing Company: Evidence from the Hungarian Confectionery Factory
    Analysis of the impact of temporarily hired workforce on productivity performance of a manufacturing company: evidence from the Hungarian confectionery factory by Rostyslav Bei Submitted to Central European University Department of Economics In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Business Analytics Supervisor: Gábor Békés CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2018 Abstract Key objective of the project - identify and analyze the most influential from production efficiency point of view factors, especially evaluate the impact along with significance of the leased staff on the productivity performance of the factory controlling on other potentially powerful variables. Surprisingly the data mining and the following regression modeling doesn’t demonstrate clear evidence of an adverse effect exerted by a temporary staff on performance metrics, commonly attributed by company management considering absence of commitment, low-skilled type of tasks they can execute and overall irresponsible attitude to a temporary employer. Worth to mention that still leased staff is engaged more in physically intensive type of works such as loading, packing or labeling were experience gives no competitive advantage. As a direction for further investigation I would propose to explore more deep social networking effect inside a team – for example analyzing correlation between the workers constantly working together we identified 8 workers having strong relationships within the group and being assigned most of the time to the same production line executing same technological operation all year round. Remarkably but their relative efficiency (actual output) for the shifts they participated in was on average lower for 6 persons out of 8 than the factory`s average.

  • Tempting Flavours Of
    Tempting flavours of HUNGARY We are experiencing a period of gastronomic evolution in Hungary: new restaurants, bistros, street food outlets and wine bars have opened both in the capital, Budapest, and right across the country. The significant development which Hungarian gastronomy has seen over the last decade has resulted in accomplishments on an inter- national level for Hungary: the first Michelin-starred restaurant in Hungary was followed a few years later by another three, while in 2018, a Budapest restaurant was awarded two Michelin stars – the first in Central and Eastern Europe to achieve this. In 2019, a fur- ther two restaurants were added to the ranks of such prestigious Hungarian restaurants, so Budapest now boasts six Michelin-starred restaurants with a total of seven Michelin stars. Quality ingredients, unique wines and imaginative recipes all come together in Hungarian gastronomy – whether you are talking about an entire tasting menu paired with the best Hungarian wines, a bistro dinner or even breakfast at a farmers’ market. In addition, the country has a wide range of culinary options to offer visitors, from its marvellous wine bars, unique and creative cookery courses to food festivals. Hungarian wine culture is one of the cornerstones of Hungarian gastronomy and the country’s 22 wine regions all have special, unique experiences to offer. Centuries of winemaking culture is an integral part of the diverse landscapes and grape varieties as are the many historical winemaking families representing this. Our wine regions each have their own, individual style, whose diversity is well worth experiencing. I’d encourage you to visit a wine festival during Dear Reader, your travels in Hungary, to follow a wine route, to visit wineries and speak to our winemakers and taste one of the world’s most unique Hungary is a country of hospitable people who take great pride in sweet wines, Tokaji Aszú, produced in the Tokaj wine region, a their food and wine to which they feel a strong cultural attachment.
