  • 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.

    1010data 2019 Holiday Report #1: Historical Thanksgiving/Black Friday Is Brick & Mortar Shopping Still a Thing, or Is It Moving Online? 1010DATA 2019 HOLIDAY REPORT #1: Historical Thanksgiving/Black Friday ThE QuEstion WE Ask in thE Runup to Thanksgiving and Black Friday 2019: Is Brick & Mortar Shopping Still a Thing, or Is It Moving OnlinE? In this series of reports, 1010data, a leader in analytical intelligence and provider of consumer transaction data to hedge funds and other asset managers, will release analysis on data derived from their proprietary data sets surrounding the Holiday retail season, both present and historical. This first report provides historical commentary on Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales, online and in-store, with an eye toward what retailers might expect for the forthcoming 2019 Black Friday weekend. All data utilized in this report was sourced from 1010data’s Credit Card Transaction dataset, an anonymized panel tracking the spend of millions of U.S. consumers, and its TickerView Visits dataset, an anonymized panel tracking the store traffic of tens of millions of U.S. consumers. 2 HOLIDAY REPORT #1 What happEnEd on Black Friday last yEar? As Black Friday approaches, the same two headlines appear over and over: online shopping’s takeover, and the death of Black Friday, as retailers start sales earlier. The stories tend to be anchored by giants such as Amazon and Walmart. These retailers dominate spend around Black Friday—just as they do throughout the year. In our analysis of previous Black Friday weekend performance, therefore, we first examined the two mega-retailers. As uncovered with our panel (see figure 1), over Black Friday weekend 2018, Walmart’s and Amazon’s sales accounted for 10 percent of total discretionary spending.

  • Tips and Tricks for Shopping Local This Holiday Season
    Tips and Tricks for Shopping Local This Holiday Season This year alone, the National Retail Federation estimates that Americans will spend $730.7 billion on holiday shopping—an increase of up to 4.2% from 2018. It’s the biggest holiday shopping season of the year, and although plenty of big-box retailers offer deep discounts in stores and online in the weeKs and months before the winter holidays, it’s the dollars spent at local businesses that will have the greatest impact on you and your community. That’s because when you spend your money at a locally owned business, more of those dollars stay within the local economy. Plus, since small businesses donate an average of 250 percent more to community causes than larger businesses, according to the Seattle Good Business Network, buying local is truly the gift that keeps on giving. As your credit union, we believe in supporting you – our members – as well as the community we call home. Before setting out for your next shopping excursion, consider these tips for shopping local this holiday season. Support Main Street Credit unions support Main Street, not Wall Street. When you bank with a credit union, you’re living that philosophy. So why not go even further with it? Load the family into the car and spend a Saturday downtown, exploring and supporting our local businesses. You’ll be glad you did – plus you’ll cut down on shipping fees! Shop at Local Arts and Crafts Festivals The holiday season is a popular time for local arts and crafts festivals, where community artists and business owners gather to showcase handmade gifts and goodies you won’t find anywhere else.

KOVÁCS TIBOR, MAGOS GÁBOR & URBÁN LÁSZLÓ ABSTRACT: (Rare and protected insects (Insecta) in the area of the Mátra and Tarnavidék II.) This paper provides locality data of 106 insect species from the Mátra Mountains, the Tarna Region and the Uppony Hills. Eight spe- cies are of community interest listed in the Habitats Directive (Cerambyx cerdo, Cucujus cinnaberinus, Limoniscus violaceus, Lucanus cervus, Osmoderma eremita, Probaticus subrugosus, Rosalia alpina, Saga pedo); one species (Osmoderma eremita) is strictly protected and 49 species are protected in Hungary. Species interesting from faunistical point of view: Omoglymmius germari, Osmoderma eremita, Anthaxia plicata, Cerophytum elateroides, Megapenthes lugens, Podeonius acuticornis, Aplocnemus integer, Prostomis mandibularis, Tetratoma desmarestii, Mycetoma suturale, Necydalis ulmi. The following species are new to the Mátra Mountains: Omoglymmius germari (Rhysodidae); Anthaxia plica- ta (Buprestidae); Cerophytum elateroides (Cerophytidae); Ampedus elegantulus, A. nigerrimus, A. nigroflavus, Ischnodes sanguinicollis, Lacon querceus, Megapenthes lugens, Podeonius acuticornis, Reitterelater bouyoni (Elateridae); Chlorophorus hungaricus, Paracorymbia fulva, Necydalis ulmi (Cerambycidae); Camptorhinus simp- lex, C. statua (Curculionidae). The following natural habitats are especially valuable on the basis of their insect fauna (taking into the considera- tion a previous paper on the same area): Ágasvár – Ágasvár-oldal, Cserepes-tetõ, Disznó-tetõ – Fekete-tó, Ezerháztetõ – Szénégetõ – Tót-hegyes, Kisgombosi-legelõ, Mraznica-tetõ – Tõkés-kút-tetõ, Oroszlánvár, Óvár – Óvár-oldal, Som-hegy, Úrráteszi-rész (Mátra Mountains); Burja-hegyese, Debornya-fõ, Kis-Nádú-völgy, Ökör-hegy, Szállás- verõ-hegy, Szederjes-verõ, Vajdavár (Tarna Region); Damasa-hegy, Damasa-szakadék (Uppony Hills).

ZOFFMANN * The topographical position and size of the site, the number of detected houses, the presence of the early phase make the Apc-Berekalja I settlement one of the most significant sites of the LBK in Hungary. The ongoing processing of the excavation data provided already some very important observations. The geoarchaeological results demonstrated the presence of the in situ soil of the Neolithic period and effects of floods on the settlement. The study of the chipped and ground stone material coming from the Neolithic features revealed no conspicuous changes in the lithic industry of the settlement from the pre-Notenkopf to Želiezovce phases of the LBK. Lithic raw materials came exclusively from territories to the east of the site, which is an evidence of the isolation of the LBK groups that inhabited Apc.

  • Eger Bull's Blood Project (Heves)
    RENCOM – Workpackage 4 – Hungarian case studies: Eger Bull’s blood project Page 1 Eger Bull’s blood project (Heves) Winegrowers play a major rule in this county. Bull’s blood is one of the two most famous wines in Hungary (the other one is the „old Tokay” from the county next to Heves) which is grown in Eger, the capital city of Heves. After the transition in the early 90’s, many new small farmers have appeared on the hills of Eger, who try to produce Bull’s blood. At this time there wasn’t any approving method to control the quality of wines. This situation was very harmful for the wine-growers who tried to sell quality wines with high prices, and of course it was very harmful for the famous brand, „Bull’s blood”. But many small farmers produced red wine under the brand’s name “Bull’s blood”, whose quality were not suitable, and before the transition, in the foreign markets the brand became the synonym of a “moderate quality” Hungarian red wine, and these bottles abided on the bottom shelves of the supermarkets. Another problem also arose: Eger’s farmers can’t deal with each other if the Bull’s blood has to become the region’s dominant famed high quality wine or it should remain an in quantity produced and within easy reach market-leader red wine. We try to focus on a special network in which actors try to rebuild the brand of the wine in the Hungarian market as well as in the world market.

  • 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.
