Belépés TámogatásAnnouncement about Chinese factory to be built in Hatvan made without informing mayor about plansEnglish based on the information received from HIPA Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó announced on Monday that China's Xinzhi would build a plant employing nearly 900 people in Hatvan the total value of the investment amounting to HUF 50 billion The company will employ 30 engineers engaged in research and development “We are initiating further consultations with representatives of the factory and government officials because we consider it unacceptable that Hatvan is left out of a decision and investment in our town that will affect our future.” The town's mayor has also complained because the Minister for Regional Development and Public Administration the business tax revenue from the factory's operation will not be received by the town but by the state Hatvan was given a factory with a workforce of 900 people while losing the most important advantage of this the Chinese company's predecessor was founded in 1990 to produce components for conventional car engines and is headquartered in the city of Taizhou in the southeastern Chinese district of Jiaojiang when it built the factory that has since become the world's largest producer of stators The company has been listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange since 2012 and the price of its shares grew exponentially until 2015 when it dropped to less than half its value representing a total company value of around HUF 330 billion the HUF 50 billion investment in Hungary is considered significant Xinzhi used to be what is known as a Tier 2 automotive supplier meaning that it did not sell its products directly to car manufacturers but to engine and component manufacturers that supply car manufacturers to which it provides 'professional supporting services' in addition to parts Xinzhi took a step forward last year when they announced that they would be supplying stator and rotor components for electric motors directly to Volkswagen they signed a similar deal with another car manufacturer: they will also supply similar parts to the tune of HUF 27 billion for the Aito car brand which is a joint development and production project between China's Seres Group and Huawei Szijjártós's announcement coincided with the Chinese company's announcement stating that they will spend up to one billion yuan (55 billion forints) to build the Hungarian manufacturing base the construction of the factory building and the purchase of equipment The Hungarian company would be set up as a subsidiary of Xinzhi Holdings Limited of Singapore the factory in Hatvan will be capable of producing one million stator parts for electric motors per year It is interesting that the communication uses the term 'assembly project' which suggests that the components will not be produced in Hatvan but will only be assembled here ((This is also implied by the low budget but high manpower requirements of the investment they will need few machines but a lot of people for production.) Xinzhi also said that production capacity would be built up gradually and that additional investment could be made if the project progresses smoothly it is possible that in the first round the number of employees will be much lower than indicated in the announcement with the possibility of expanding at a later stage On Wednesday afternoon, Hatvan mayor Richárd Horváth announced on Facebook that construction of the Xinzhi plant the mayor had said that no one had informed him about the Chinese factory coming to the city he was able to take part in a three-party online meeting with representatives of Xinzhi and the Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency (HIPA) He said that although "after a considerable delay from our point of view The discussion was conducted in a positive atmosphere and characterized by the spirit of cooperation" it was agreed that from now on Hatvan would be involved in the preparation of the investment they will be consulted on matters relating to construction environmental protection and “all procedures and steps related to the project.” the Chinese company would appoint a person to be their primary contact Xinzhi has pledged to aim to mainly hire employees from Hatvan and the surrounding area For more quick, accurate and impartial news from and about Hungary, subscribe to the Telex English newsletter! In 2011, the mayor of Baia Mare caused a national outcry when he initiated the building of a wall to enclose the social housing units inhabited by Roma people. One year prior, non-Roma residents in the Horea Street area had protested against “acts of aggression and robbery committed by Roma neighbors.” The main pretext for the wall was security The authorities intervened with discriminatory and exclusionary measures following complaints from citizens that the area had become dangerous The Roma people in the neighborhood were presented as a threat to the security of the locals The Roma in Romania are frequently perceived and portrayed as being inherently criminal and dangerous – in addition to other traits that cause the majority to discriminate against them Romanian racism against Roma is based directly on this perspective The Mayor of Baia Mare follows in the footsteps of many Romanian politicians who deported, segregated, imprisoned, evicted, and harassed Roma in the name of security, order, and civilization. Their right arm – the forces of law and order: the police, gendarmes, and sometimes the army –were the main instruments of these repressive policies. The police act disproportionately towards the Roma and physically abuse Roma people at a much higher rate than other social groups repressive measures are taken against them the area is “cleaned up” and returned to the city and to real estate investors Baia Mare is perhaps the only large town in Romania where repression has taken the form of a wall the presence of the wall a few steps from the center of a city with European ambitions shows a profound contempt for human rights These processes of exclusion and violence towards Roma people can be grasped and understood through a review of historical processes that are connected to housing crises These processes are deeply rooted in the past – yet for methodological reasons that have to do with research design my analysis only stretches as far back as the 1950s Systematizing the Development of Baia Mare The year 1950 can be considered the start of Baia Mare’s modern territorialization following the administrative re-drawing of the country’s regions the small mining town of Baia Mare became the capital of the Maramureş region it became the target of countless policies and investments directed from Bucharest all of which aimed at transforming Baia Mare into an industrial pole in the North of Transylvania the socialist authorities were explicit in their plan to make the town a welcoming place for workers Baia Mare was to become a flourishing urban space with all the facilities that the working class needed the town was riddled by a housing crisis that dated back to the previous regime The municipality granted numerous land parcels throughout the city’s territory in desperate attempts to satisfy the ever-growing need for workers’ accommodation This in turn generated another dramatic situation: people built chaotically or in areas that were too close to the factories and they often built without proper permits Therefore, by the middle of the decade, the local administration was in dire need of a city planning strategy.[2] The resulting plans were drafted between 1957 and 1961 This was a highly ambitious vision of a town that would reach 70,000 people The city was quartered between new residential areas – some of them in the process of being built Certain territories were meant for intensive neighborhood building while other areas were to be kept with single story houses these latter areas would be in the peripheries of the city’s expanded limits One of the principles that guided these plans was prioritizing the urban peripheries over the centers And the workers kept moving to Baia Mare and demanding homes the authorities were planning to build 4,700 new apartments the new Hungarian administration also mapped the city There is a pattern of streets just north of the river Hatvan earned its name and right to existence with difficulty answering a questionnaire regarding the existence of pits caused by people burning bricks the scribe of the local administration jotted on the draft reply the pejorative word for Roma people The final typewritten version replied to the same question by claiming that such pits only exist in Hatvan This substitution – from pejorative to Hatvan – marks the territory’s stigma from the very start: Hatvan is the space of the Roma people Hatvan truly entered into Baia Mare’s existence in the 1950s Yet this was an entry through the back door the streets north of Craica were finally named (Map 4) The same street pattern found in the 1940 map is at this point included in the city this was a problematic juncture: the streets were marked as being not paved Throughout the 1950s the neighborhood emerged as a space riddled with social issues: poverty Hatvan was a marginal space that the city could not yet contain Hatvan was a problem that the authorities needed and wanted to address with urgency The type of action that the local administration planned in this territory was meant to uplift the social and economic level of its inhabitants through investment in infrastructure such as paving roads or introducing electricity this was a space that pointed to that “inheritance of the past” that the new regime wanted to regenerate when the systematization plan began to be implemented Hatvan was no longer seen just as a social problem Its inhabitants were no longer regarded as poor people in need of social assistance but as culprits with destructive and illegal behavior This was mainly due to the new emphasis on “construction discipline” that I mentioned earlier Hatvan was increasingly seen as outlier territory one that did not fit the urban order that the local authorities envisioned Being generally poorer than the rest of the local population the Roma there built shacks without any permits They also squatted in various empty buildings that they found in the area this made Hatvan look more like a slum – derelict and disorganized – than a neighborhood fit for Baia Mare Roma people constantly took the blame for damaging the state-owned flats that they lived in The more the authorities focused on “construction discipline,” the more they pointed fingers at Roma people from Hatvan this discourse sharpened its attack on the Roma people of Hatvan The city was becoming increasingly concerned with legality a number of Roma people from the neighboring villages escaping floods started to illegally build even more shacks in the south of Baia Mare the need to thoroughly re-organize and systematize the neighborhood became stringent for the authorities and gaining a firm legal hand on everything that was going on there this idea developed into a comprehensive plan for planning and regularizing the territory known as Hatvan this plan soon dovetailed with another discursive shift that emerged after 1977: the criminalization of Roma people Roma people started to become a national problem at the end of the 1970s especially through their resistance to the authorities’ efforts to “integrate” them It is worth pointing out that there are only two terms in this equation – the Roma and the communist authorities; at no point is the role of racism of the population in the integration of the Roma questioned There is never any question of educating the population for acceptance none of this was particular to state socialism As much as Ceauşescu’s regime stood out for its heightened repressive nature this shift in discourses and practices emerged in a broader international political climate The 1970s witnessed the dawn of neo-conservatism in places such as the UK and the US The policies of this New Right were based precisely on the idea that the welfare state has failed and the state can no longer sustain or even tolerate “lazy” people who do not work and expect handouts The model of society envisioned by these policies is a meritocratic one where the individual and the family come prior to the society There is also a marked emphasis on order and the quality of city life as the neo-conservative state withdraws its support it enforces its repressive arm: there are more police on the streets and social problems are turned into criminal justice ones these neo-conservative policies endorse a series of punitive actions against the poor We would certainly be amiss to call Ceauşescu a neo-conservative politician one cannot help notice the similarities between his emphasis on “socialist legality” and some other contemporary sets of policies from capitalist states: switching from social aid to workfare and repression against the poor Locally, following such pressure from the national level, at the end of the 1970s the Roma people in Baia Mare started to be seen and treated as a danger to the establishment. They were a social category that threatened the “conquests of socialism” in the city – whether these were neighborhoods, blocks, schools, but also the general health, well-being, and safety of the inhabitants.[8] There was a marked state of anxiety and panic regarding the activities of Roma people in the city This panic demanded urgent and firm action The authorities called for more “urgent measures” to be taken in this neighborhood residents had been constantly complaining about their Roma neighbors I have found several such complaints in the archives they denounce Roma families that came from outside Baia Mare and settled in Hatvan Hatvan’s territory was radically transformed The various systematization plans that came into effect meant that people there were evicted scores of new panel buildings were erected as old streets were gone and a new street pattern took their place (Map 7) The catalyst of this dramatic change was the need for security: the new neighborhood had to be a rationally built space which was the newest and largest neighborhood of Baia Mare In this list it was called again by its old name [1] For the sake of brevity I did not specify here most of the references to the archival material that I used Any such reference can be made available upon request [2] This was not only a problem for Baia Mare the national Architects’ Commission stated that “most cities do not yet have approved systematization plans” (Conclusions of the 5th Architects’ Assembly [3] See for example in Scînteia [4] One of the explanations given by the locals for this name is that it comes from the Hungarian word for “sixty,” because there were initially sixty Roma families living there [5] Maps 1 and 2 courtesy of Izsák Anikó Borbála [6] Study regarding the socio-economic state of the Roma population [7] Notwithstanding the actions of the state against such other groups the repression against Roma people was the only one that took the form of systematic evictions displacements and territorial rearrangements in the name of their social inclusion [8] I expand on these arguments in a Romanian text for Mișcarea Căși sociale ACUM! [9] During the 1950s a few archival documents used the actual term “Roma,” yet the 1980s documents I am quoting here use only a racial slur that I choose not to reproduce [10] Report regarding protection of minors and social assistance [11] Alecsandri has nothing to do with the city of Baia Mare. However, he is one of the first Romanian significant authors to write a lamentation for a Roma person in which he describes the unfair and inhuman treatments of Roma people in Moldova at the beginning of the 19th century [12] Minute [13] This information is based on research made by George Iulian Zamfir [14] One of the used reasons for the evictions was “not respecting the norms of cohabitation.” Manuel Mireanu is a junior researcher in the Precarious Labor and Peripheral Housing team His previous research includes vigilantism and paramilitaries Úgy tűnik nem található semmi ezen a helyen IMPRESSZUM SZERZŐI JOGOK ADATVÉDELEM FELHASZNÁLÁSI FELTÉTELEK Metrics details A notable anniversary highlights the progress and benefits of contraceptives but also the continuing battle for access to them the US Food and Drug Administration approved a treatment for menstrual disturbance Data showed that it prevented pregnancy too Three years passed before doctors could prescribe it as a contraceptive And another decade went by until many women could get it before marriage the drug was considered a miracle and was already famous enough to be known simply as the pill the contraceptive-drug market was worth more than US$6.1 billion globally according to a report by Global Market Insights or at least those societies in which most women have access to the drug Epidemiologists have shown how contraceptives led to a rise in education and earnings for women in the United States and Western Europe a 2007 report analysed data from the 1960s and 1970s and found that college enrolment in the United States was 17% higher among women from states in which the pill was prescribed at 18 than among women from states that withheld permission until 21 a trend that can be linked to economic and environmental gains women in Bangladesh had an average of seven children; today they have two but young women complain that nurses at reproductive-health-care clinics shame them for asking about sex Three times more teenage girls have children in South Africa than in the United Kingdom (4.4% compared with 1.4%) HIV rates in South Africa are the highest in the world and the regions with high HIV tend to be those with high teen pregnancies history shows how shame merely forces behaviour underground which is why labs running trials on treatments to prevent the disease offer reproductive health care as well they have voiced concerns over US President Donald Trump’s ‘gag rule’ which reinstates a policy whereby US funds cannot go to any organization working abroad that discusses abortion (government funds have never been permitted for abortion itself) director of the Durban-based South African AIDS research centre CAPRISA points out that the centre now risks losing research funds from the US National Institutes of Health if a nurse at one of its satellite clinics merely addresses an HIV study participant’s query on an unwanted pregnancy The Trump administration is poised to take direct aim at contraceptives in other ways Proposed budget cuts to the Department of State and the United States Agency for International Development slash funds for services providing contraceptives for women in developing nations by $523 million a reproductive-health think tank in Washington DC for every $10-million drop in family-planning funds 433,000 fewer women will receive contraceptives which will result in 128,000 more unintended pregnancies Studies have shown that a portion of these result in abortion which can be lethal to the women in places where abortion is illegal or inaccessible A 2011 study posted on the Bulletin of the World Health Organization showed how the gag policy increased abortions when it was enacted in 2001 under president George W The authors compared data between 1994 and 2008 from countries in sub-Saharan Africa that were receiving a high amount of US funding for reproductive health care with those receiving none They found that abortion remained stable during this time in the latter countries and rose sharply after 2001 in countries where funds had been cut Political battles and stigma have always accompanied the pill yet the drug has stumbled towards progress over the decades a small company named Cadence moved forward with large studies to test whether women follow instructions on oral-contraceptive packs such that these might be sold over the counter Both the American Medical Association and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists support the measure nurse Margaret Sanger fled the United States after being charged with obscenity for spreading information on birth control she was inspired by a birth-control clinic and returned home to start her own She might be dismayed to know that millions of women still have no access to contraceptives because of a lack of political will because times for many other women have surely changed for the better Reprints and permissions Download citation Anyone you share the following link with will be able to read this content: a shareable link is not currently available for this article Sign up for the Nature Briefing newsletter — what matters in science This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page Nicknamed the “Angel of Death,” Genene Jones is a convicted serial killer serving time for the murder and attempted murder of several children in Texas the 69-year-old inmate was set to be released in 2018 prosecutors fought hard to stop this from happening by bringing up new charges also known as the “Angel of Death.” They believe Jones may have killed as many as 60 children while working as a pediatric nurse Genene Jones worked as a licensed vocational nurse in the pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) of Bexar County Hospital in San Antonio In this short span of time, dozens of children died in the ICU, most of them directly under Jones’ care. This epidemic of mysterious deaths attracted widespread attention, leading her colleagues to chillingly call her shift “the Death Shift.” children were over ten times as likely to die during her 3 PM to 11 PM shift than at any other time in the ICU The children seemed to die in mysterious circumstances Previously stable kids suddenly stopped breathing or began bleeding profusely when given injected with needles their blood unable to clot for some strange reason now known as the University Hospital of San Antonio where Genene Jones is believed to have committed multiple murders The strange deaths raised enough suspicion among ICU doctors that Genene Jones was somehow involved hospital administrators refused to fire Jones or call the police while undergoing a name change and subsequent publicity overhaul the hospital simply chose to discharge all of its licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) under the guise of upgrading the unit to better-trained They even offered Jones a job elsewhere in the hospital Jones was not singled out as the person responsible for the deaths being let go with stellar recommendation letters and her professional reputation still intact The hospital later launched an internal inquiry into the matter finding that at least ten children died when Jones was working Its official report concluded that “this association of Nurse Jones with the deaths of the ten children could be coincidental negligence or wrongdoing cannot be excluded.” By this point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYylTPhVNKA&t= Jones easily secured a similar position at a pediatric clinic 60 miles northwest of San Antonio in Kerrville mysterious illnesses and deaths of babies seemed to follow Jones wherever she went Multiple children suddenly fell ill after receiving what were supposed to be routine injections at her new clinic The only case that prosecutors could decisively link to Jones involved Chelsea McClennan a 15-month-old baby who arrived at the clinic for routine immunization shots Genene Jones injected the helpless child three times with succinylcholine This death launched a criminal investigation with multiple damning testimonies regarding the string of mysteriously dead children under Jones’ care she was convicted and sentenced to 99 years in prison for McClennan’s murder this time for trying to kill 4-week-old Rolando Santos with a lethal dose of heparin a blood-thinning agent that caused massive bleeding and Jones was found guilty of attempted murder and sentenced to serve 60 more years along with her 99-year murder sentence Bettmann/Getty ImagesGenene Jones in cuffs during a pre-trial hearing in October 1984 Despite the lengthy sentences, Jones was scheduled to be released in 2018, due to Texas’ Mandatory Release Law which allows inmates to put their “good behavior” towards time served to complete their sentences sooner The short-lived law was meant to tackle prison overcrowding and originally included violent criminals Jones very likely killed many more children than the two charges she was serving time for One problem is that some hospital records from Jones’ time at Bexar County Hospital may have been destroyed Authorities suspect she may have killed as many as 60 infants and children during her time as a nurse in the 1970s and 1980s this would make Genene Jones one of the worst serial killers in American history local prosecutors worked hard to find evidence for Jones’ suspected killings “Our intention is to hold her accountable for as many deaths as the evidence will support…But we have to have the evidence So we will continue to work within the confines of the law to do that I am fairly confident we are not going to get 60 indictments on her but we will get as many as the evidence supports.” Genene Jones was indicted for the murder of Joshua Sawyer one of the children who died a mysterious death during her time at the Bexar County Hospital ICU he had arrived in Jones’ ICU on December 8 suffering from a coma and seizures due to smoke inhalation after a fire ravaged his family’s home KENS 5 NewsA recent photograph of Genene Jones his seizures stopped and he appeared to be improving Sawyer’s condition suddenly worsened He suffered multiple cardiac arrests before his heart stopped completely Lab reports showed more than double the prescribed dose of Dilantin The following month Genene Jones was charged again, this time with the murder of Rosemary Vega a two-year-old child with a congenital heart defect who died of cardiac arrest shortly after Jones administered an intravenous shot KENS 5 NewsPhotographs of the five children whose murders Jones was recently charged with Jones has been charged with the murder of three more children: Richard “Ricky” Nelson on July 3 All of the children were allegedly injected with high doses of muscle relaxers or pain killers At this time, Genene Jones remains in prison. In 2019, a judge ruled that she is competent to stand trial for the five new murder charges in early 2020 preventing any possibility of early release While it’s unfortunate that this much time had to pass before the families of the victims see justice especially in a case as despicable as this one we’re not entirely sure what motivated the murders the most likely explanation is all the more morbid because of how simple it is: Genene Jones did it to feel powerful and important placing herself in the middle of life-and-death drama Now that you’ve read about Genene Jones, read about about 21 other doctors and nurses who were killers. Then read these terryfing quotes from serial killers that will chill you to the bone. Bosch, the multinational engineering and technology company, has announced a 70-billion-forint ($240 million) investment in Hungary, which will be used to expand the company’s existing manufacturing facilities in the country. The investment will be focused on developing new technologies for automotive components, particularly for electric and autonomous vehicles, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said last Friday.

Rail services have been disrupted The Copernicus Earth observation programme which gives daily updates of fires in Europe shows more than 60 fires burning across Sweden Norway has sent six fire-fighting helicopters in response to its neighbour’s request for assistance. Italy is sending two Canadair CL-415s – which can dump 6,000 litres of water on each run – to Örebro in central southern Sweden In western Sweden, fire-fighting operations were temporarily halted near an artillery training range near Älvdalen forest due to concerns that unexploded ordnance might be detonated by the extreme heat Residents in Uppsala said they could see the plumes of smoke and have been banned from barbecuing in national parks “This is definitely the worst year in recent times for forest fires 2018 is shaping up to be excessive,” said Mike Peacock a university researcher and local resident There have been huge fires in the past in Sweden, but not over such a wide area. This appears to be a trend as more and bigger blazes are reported in other far northern regions like Greenland The sparks come from a variety of sources: BBQs, cigarettes and increasingly lightning, which is becoming more frequent as the planet warms Swedish authorities say the risk of more fires in the days ahead is “extremely high” due to temperatures forecast in excess of 30C. Much of the northern hemisphere has sweltered in unusually hot weather in recent weeks, breaking records from Algeria to California and causing fires from Siberia to Yorkshire Ukraine has been hit especially hard by wildfires View image in fullscreenSatellite images show wildfire smoke over central Siberia on 3 July Photograph: Modis/NasaThe European Forest Fire Information System warned fire danger conditions were likely to be extreme across much of central and northern Europe in the coming weeks EU officials said many of this year’s fires are outside the traditional European fire zone of the Mediterranean and are increasingly taking place at unexpected times of year 2017 was the worst fire year in Europe’s history causing destruction to thousands of hectares of forest and cropland in Portugal “There are clear trends of longer fire seasons and frequent critical periods in Europe that are leading to dangerous fire situations,” said a European commission official Climate scientists said the Arctic and other areas that were once relatively fire-free are likely to become more vulnerable “What we’re seeing with this global heatwave is that these areas of fire susceptibility are now broadening, with the moors in north-west England and now these Swedish fires a consequence of that,” said Vincent Gauci, professor of global change ecology at the Open University. “Both these areas are typically mild and wet which allows forests and peatlands to develop quite large carbon stores,” he added. “When such carbon-dense ecosystems experience aridity and heat and there is a source of ignition – lightning or people – fires will happen.” The expected tariff cost is significantly lower than the $4 billion to $5 billion crosstown rival General Motors estimates, which Ford attributes to its higher mix of U.S.-built vehicles.

Photograph: Abdel Kareem Hana/APThe Israeli military says its fight is against Hamas and not Gaza that its bombardment is proportional to threats and that it makes every effort to warn citizens of imminent attacks Gaza has long relied on a flow of trucks carrying food Israeli controls drastically limited the number of trucks entering the territory Alongside the destruction of agricultural production this has led to widespread hunger and malnutrition In November 2024, the UN said aid and commercial shipments into Gaza were at the lowest levels since October 2023, and an international watchdog said famine was probably “imminent” in the northern Gaza Strip Israel says it does not limit aid shipments and blames shortages on logistics failures by aid agencies Israel’s campaign of intense aerial bombing and mass demolitions has levelled swathes of Gaza and left whole neighbourhoods barely habitable Nine in 10 homes in the territory have been destroyed or damaged, the latest UN figures show shops and offices have been repeatedly hit Israel says strikes only target Hamas fighters and claims the fighters shelter in buildings and use civilians as human shields Satellite imagery taken this month of Rafah in the south – once considered a “safe” city – shows large portions of neighbourhoods adjacent to the border almost completely demolished This drone footage from June last year shows heavily damaged and destroyed buildings in the Jabaliya refugee camp in the north. An Israeli campaign conducted in three waves has left the camp an unrecognisable wasteland of rubble This footage from August shows UN cars driving through what used to be a neighbourhood in the north This footage shows al-Dahra street in the southern city of Khan Younis before the start of the war and again in April of last year Israeli forces have repeatedly bombed, besieged and attacked hospitals in Gaza. Earlier this month the World Health Organization said there had been 654 attacks on health facilities recorded since the start of the war Almost every school building in Gaza has been damaged or destroyed These composite images show the impact of the war on just three schools: Among the destroyed educational institutions is the Israa University in Gaza City a scrap of paper to show where he was standing when he hit the shot and a sugar bowl for Joe Gaetjens whose goal produced the biggest upset in English football history "I hit a decent ball with some steam from 25 to 28 yards out," he says "Somehow Joe Gaetjens got a piece of the ball It was not a beautiful goal by any means." It might not have been beautiful but it was sweeter than the contents of the sugar bowl for the Americans, bringing victory over England in the 1950 World Cup in Brazil Bahr describes England as the powerhouse of world football at the time The USA team were 500-1 and made up entirely of amateurs who included a mailman England will have their chance of revenge when they play the USA in their World Cup opener in Rustenburg on Saturday Bahr says: "It has taken England 60 years to get a chance to get even." is clearheaded about the game and its consequences relatively free of the tendency of old athletes to exaggerate the triumphs of their youth "The perfect game is to win and play well," he says. "We won but we certainly did not outplay England It was one of those games where the best team does not win Bahr digs out newspaper cuttings from 1950 mainly from Brazilian papers as coverage in the US was minimal "We knew it was something special but most of the papers back home had a little column or had the score wrong or the names wrong." The New York Times gave it two paragraphs Such was the lack of interest in the US that in the two decades that followed he was interviewed only twice That changed with the growth of football in the US focused not only on his football career but his tragic death in jail in Haiti Others in the team were also from immigrant backgrounds or from communities where the influence of immigrants was strong and football was the favourite game Four of the 1950 team were from Italian backgrounds Eddie McIlvenny was a Scot who qualified because Bahr captained the USA for a decade but gave the captaincy that day to McIlvenny because the game was against England about 1,000 of them English expatriates and the rest Brazilian crowded into the ground in Belo Horizonte on 29 June The star-studded England team included Tom Finney with Stanley Matthews and Jackie Milburn left out I think they hit the woodwork," Bahr says recalls that Borghi put up a fantastic display And then in the 38th minute the USA scored There is no film footage of the goal and there is debate whether Gaetjens had been going for it or whether it had accidently hit him His USA team-mates say he had a habit of scoring such acrobatic goals it would have gone out for a corner," Keough says Keough and Bahr praise the English players for the way they conducted themselves after the match They did not say anything like 'You lucky bastards'." However polite they were at the time told the Associated Press in February: "It's been 60 years It's taken a lot of forgetting as far as I am concerned." Bahr played football until he was almost 40 and coached for 15 years at Penn State University McIlvenny went on to play for Manchester United Gaetjens went to play in France before returning to Haiti says he was taken from Port-au-Prince in 1963 to Fort Dimanche jail by the Tonton Macoute the militia of the dictator François "Papa Doc" Duvalier and was killed soon after He thought the goal would protect him," Mary says The family is sore that the US refused pleas to help him either by pushing Duvalier to grant him an amnesty or to grant him US citizenship and the protection that might have provided Despite failing to help a US sporting hero when he needed it the US felt no embarrassment in honouring him posthumously into the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 1976 Bahr is realistic about the USA-England clash The USA team are better organised than they were make fewer mistakes and have lots of good players "But I do not think they have the individuals to match England They do not have a Rooney or a Gerrard or Lampard." who plans to watch the game in his home among the mountains of Boalsburg will still be hoping for another improbable win a better chance than we did," Bahr says Virus numbers in Hungary are on the rise again Portfolio has also been curious to find out the long-term effects of the disease The National Public Health Centre (NNK) has not reacted to our inquiries while the Semmelweis University referred us to expert materials published earlier Portfolio has been able to contact Gábor Zacher The Hatvan hospital runs an ambulance for post-Covid patients We understood lung tissue damage or myocarditis but there are also patients whose hair is falling out in clumps who can only smell 3 unpleasant smells and nothing else or who have unexplained skin sensory problems,” Zacher said It is likely that many patients with post-Covid symptoms are not even present in the system This is because if the virus has not been detected in someone for a few weeks but the person has arrhythmia or sleep disorders it is possible that their GPs will just give them various drugs but they will not make an appointment at a special ambulance There was a patient who could only smell iron salami peel and wet dog smell after the disease This was eventually successfully treated by exposure to essential oils Another male patient experienced a burning sensation on his skin whenever he got dressed He has no traditional symptoms of skin irritation or problems with nerve endings and the symptoms only appeared following the coronavirus infection although they do not know how they managed to do it There are no accepted treatment protocols for these Covid aftereffects so physicians are effectively experimenting with various therapies according to Zacher “There are people with recurring nightmares We have a lot to learn before we can treat these symptoms and there are no international standards yet,” he said ­­­Many patients have psychosomatic symptoms such as unexplained asphyxiation a long time after the virus was last detected in their bodies psychotherapy can help overcome fears related to the disease A ward was opened in June at the 1st Department of Surgery and Interventional Gastroenterology to examine post-Covid gastroenterological problems the infection brought on an elevation in liver enzyme levels Semmelweis Medical University reported in late summer on its website that post-Covid treatment for children was further expanded Several physicians of the university confirmed that nagging respiratory problems 6 to 8 weeks after coronavirus infection can already be classified as a post-Covid symptom The parents of children with such conditions (breathing difficulties palpitations or chest pains also suggest post-Covid syndrome The physicians of Semmelweis University also mentioned unexplainable rash Parents should also seek medical help if their child shows signs of anxiety lower resilience to stress and irritability Emília Keresztes said one of their patients showed none of the above symptoms but had no sense of smell or taste for five months which implies a great reduction to the quality of life Another teenager developed panic attacks three months after a COVID-19 infection Children have been monitored for post-Covid syndrome since March based on protocols set up by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and international recommendations These determine the order of mandatory lab tests 6-minute walking test when the patient has difficulty breathing The most difficult period awaits those that had been ventilated Patients who need mechanical ventilation for 30 days or - in case of elderly people – spend 2 to 2.5 months hooked up to machines could lose up to 20 to 25 kilograms of weight physical therapy is required already during ventilation told Portfolio yesterday about a 70-year-old patient who could not be saved despite several resuscitation attempts It took the rapid Covid test 30 seconds to show coronavirus infection and although the patient received both doses of a U.S This proves that even the vaccines are not 100% effective but in most cases they prevent from severe symptoms and can save lives He highlighted how important it would be for authorities to disclose vaccination data In health care – and this is a recurring complaint on Portfolio’s pages as well – they complain that there’s no public information on how many of the new COVID-19 cases are vaccinated and how many of them have not received even a single dose could give new impetus to vaccinations among those that are sceptical about Covid shots He has mentioned an example from the UK where there’s a 13 to 14 times difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated people in respect of coronavirus-related deaths if you have not received any kind of coronavirus vaccine your chances of dying in case of a severe infection or a weaker immune system is 13 to 14 times greater than those that have received some kind of COVID-19 vaccine Wiiw points out grave challenges in the year ahead László Windisch shares several details about the scandal Spending cuts will also be made following the Fiscal Council's recommendation Here are the important releases and decisions to watch out for this week © Kövess minket 2022 Kft. -

wrote in a Facebook post: This is the cause of the disruption to the station’s operations reported by MÁV The exact causes are obviously not yet known but after the incident at the end of the summer MÁV should explain very quickly how this could have happened again in the same place It is not yet known what caused the accident As we wrote earlier, a train derailed in late August at Keleti station. At the time, five cars of an InterCity train from Cluj Napoca called Claudiopolis derailed. Related article: InterCity derailed, paralysing train traffic at busy Budapest railway station – Photos It took several days to restore and restart traffic it was discovered that the derailment was caused by two broken bolts which prevented the train from moving properly and diverted it to the adjacent track Read also: 5 important things you should know before travelling by train in Hungary Zsolt Hegyi, the CEO of MÁV made a statement on the matter: a locomotive travelling at low speed derailed with one axle at Keleti station so it was not carrying any passengers and was nowhere near the train who noticed the track fault and acted accordingly This accident understandably reminds everyone of the much more serious derailment accident in August the two incidents are technically unrelated as the bolts responsible for that accident have since been inspected at all reasonable points and replaced regardless of their condition The cause of the current accident will have to be clarified by a more thorough investigation but it is clear that the cause is different: the top rail in the picture has broken this is not the most important thing for the passenger but to reach his destination safely and on time That’s why we have already decided to implement the East Programme next year which will involve the renovation of the entire interchange area of the station (I should warn you that the complex works will also require the station to be closed to traffic for a while!) In the meantime more frequent and thorough inspections and stringent safety measures will be taken to prevent accidents like this one from happening or my colleagues are working at full speed to get traffic back to normal as quickly as possible at the Keleti Railway Station.” It’s fortunate it happened when it did at low speed with a train not carrying any passengers they suffer metal fatigue and there comes a point when they’ve reached the end of their service life and gone beyond it no different to the case of the broken bolt on the points a few weeks back that resulted in the serious derailment of a passenger train These are not normal things in developed countries it’s a result of chronic underfunding leading to missed maintenance and tends to affect the infrastructure of third world countries five carriages of the Claudiopolis InterCity derailed near the tracks leading into Keleti railway station in Budapest access to the tracks leading into Keleti railway station has been completely blocked causing the station to halt all departures and arrivals for the remainder of Sunday evening Authorities have indicated that the investigation and recovery efforts could take an extended period of time Reports from readers of Telex suggest that passengers on halted trains were left without information about the situation Many began walking toward the station on foot passengers started to disembark and walk along the tracks we also got off and left the area through the nearest exit Photo source: imgbb MÁV’s Facebook page provided further details on the disruptions to train services: train tickets will be valid for travel on alternative public transport options including the M2 metro line between Keleti and Déli stations Newly released video of train derailment at Budapest Keleti railway station – watch here Keleti Station reopening date announced after train derailment incident Three existing hotels and five new hotels are currently under construction in Debrecen while for others the contractor is still being sought or plans are awaited According to haon.hu, the Óbester Hotel in Debrecen is undergoing a complete transformation into a hotel that is comfortable for business people and a cosy place for families In addition to the energy modernisation, the rooms, corridors and reception area will be renewed and the number of parking spaces in the inner courtyard will be increased.
