Father Iván Csete has often talked to me about his friend László Oroszlány and has invited me several times to visit the (non-Hungarian) church in Port Jervis (in upstate New York where the borders of three states—New York where he celebrates Hungarian mass once a month for ‘his Hungarians from the Highlands’ We managed to get to them on the first Sunday of January but since László had previously sent me his memoir (My Life: The First 83 Years) in which he summarized his adventurous life story I ‘only’ asked him questions that had occurred to me after reading it God decides’ is the most common sentence in your book… my life very often turned out completely differently than I had planned History intervened several times; for example the final phase of which I experienced in Hungary as a child aged 8–9; the communist dictatorship that followed; and then the 1956 revolution and freedom fight and its suppression that I had to flee from which left me and my brother Toni stranded in Italy after which we could only immigrate to the United States a primary school reunion in Hungary led me to my second wife who moved to the United States to live with me 20 years ago… That’s why I often tell young people: Don’t be upset if something doesn’t work out look at my life: it may have been better or worse than I wanted; but I’d miss a lot if it had been different and I certainly wouldn’t want to trade what I have for anything if I had something different in my life than what I actually experienced it would mean that I’d not have possessed or lived through what I actually have and I don’t even want to think about that… Last Thanksgiving it was the 68th anniversary of our arrival in Italy so I asked my family—ten Oroszlánys were gathered for dinner and I was the most senior family member—to give me a little more time to speak I told them that I didn’t want to leave my country at all and I certainly didn’t want to live in America but I thank God that my life turned out the way it did and that I have the family that surrounds me now My brother’s family would be quite different and the same can be said about the 17-year-old girl with whom we parted ways for good in Italy You moved to Budapest and went to a technical school after work What drove you not to give up and keep on studying although I have never actually worked in such capacity I’ve loved learning all my life—up until recently because my brain is slower now at the age of 89… Other than that I was a handyman to my father as a young child I loved fixing things at home: I straightened nails I’d watch the blacksmith to learn how to make one I worked and studied in Budapest for seven long years while I didn’t have much time for fun or making friends I applied to university because I wanted to develop myself and achieve something more I was just a mechanic in the eyes of her relatives I was introduced by them as a chief engineer Hundreds of small companies participated in the Apollo space program as suppliers founded in 1966 which operated for nearly 42 years since not many small companies have existed in this sector for such a long time… When I was studying at home in the evenings after work in Budapest When I stayed with the Baron Monti family in Merano during our regular conversations they also asked me about my musical knowledge and the Baroness was surprised: she said she had studied piano for seven and a half years and had not noticed the mistake… After that I was even more tempted to stay in Italy with them and study music at the Music Academy there and I wanted to get to Canada as soon as possible to find out what had happened to my love But that’s not ended your ‘relationship’ with music but my brother showed one of them to an opera singer in Budapest He sang the song and said it’s too good to stay in the drawer and I should nominate it for a contest at the Song Olympics held every four years since the 1930s and since we were in Hungary at the time of the awards ceremony Rozika Farkas sang my song and I won first prize with it Hungarian President János Áder congratulated me for this award because I’d been living far away from my homeland for 55 years It was a kind of compensation for not being able to study music… called the ’Word of Faith’ (Hitszava in Hungarian) who was the conductor of the Hungarian Radio Choir in 1956 He also emigrated in 56 and lived on Long Island who was also the director of the Arany János Hungarian School in New York and the Széchenyi Society It is also thanks to him that Cardinal Mindszenty smiled at me and this has left a lasting impression… what happened between you and Cardinal Mindszenty Cardinal Mindszenty started his American tour at our church in New York after which a reception was held in his honor at the elegant Hotel Waldorf Astoria with Róbert Harkai as the master of ceremony and he introduced us to Cardinal Mindszenty I don’t think I have ever met a man of greater character than this holy man… I had a book with me and I asked him to sign it for me because then other people would want him to do the same we’ll form a circle around him so that other people wouldn’t see what he’s doing and the official photographer caught that very rare moment which I got a photo of and have treasured ever since How did you get involved in the Hungarian community in New York and the first person we met on the street was a homeless man begging for money from us the fresh refugees… We left the hotel in great sorrow first to the Reformed Church on 69th Street Reverend Imre Kovács only asked us about our religion after talking to us for half an hour and when he found out that we were Catholic he insisted that we’d definitely register at St there were a lot of young people around the church and other organizations; there were a lot of Hungarian gatherings the only Hungarian ball that still exists today there were at least four other Hungarian balls in New York during the ball season where the Hungarian debutante girls—including Kati my future first wife—were escorted by West Point cadets The balls were usually held at elegant ballrooms for example in those of the Hotel Waldorf Astoria or the Plaza Hotel That has all changed since then and the choir’s long gone New immigrants have always come to New York there was always a problem of lack of parking space in central New York and not everyone undertook to drive to Manhattan once a week and park in a garage for a fee the Hungarian quarter itself has melted away over the past few decades there were still a lot of Hungarian establishments: three Hungarian bookstores four Hungarian butcher shops—including my brother’s for a while— all Hungarian places have gradually disappeared there was a failure to involve the younger generations… St Stephen’s Church was built by Hungarians 120 years ago they couldn’t pay the mortgage on the building They saved the church from closure by having it taken over by the Americans—first the Franciscans sometimes even two or three for a long time the question for the American Pastor of the parish was not whether he was anti-Hungarian or not Whether this was part of their own belief system or they implemented central instructions I don’t know… I also had a serious fall out with Fr when I was member of the Parish Council and chairman of the Lay Committee for several years when Bishop Endre Gyulay visited us at the church there was a full house reception luncheon in the White Hall for his honor the Pastor to come and greet and sit with the bishop up front Angelo came late and didn’t even greet the honored guest Afterwards I wrote him a letter in English saying that I was terribly upset about what had happened I had several people read it before I sent it I received a very harsh letter from him stating that he couldn’t work with me and that he was going to replace me in the Lay Committee—he couldn’t do it as it was independent of the church As was the fact that he shouted at me in the rectory afterwards Half an hour later he approached and told me: ‘Laszlo a group of young people around the church organized a Hungarian club on Fridays and there were times when 50 people came together at their events They could play table tennis in the main hall and there was even a small room next to it where they organized creative events of high quality But then he rented out the halls for others and the young people couldn’t have their Friday night events any more The last big event they organized was a carnival with a huge success Then there was a Hungarian street fair in front of the church and Fr Angelo angrily shouted at vendors and organizers questioning what they were doing there and one of the organizers shouted back at him Angelo rented half of the choir loft out to the school so we couldn’t go upstairs where the choir used to be the cantor had to use the piano downstairs.  I don’t know if it was just due to his erratic behavior or if there was another reason… Perhaps the church was already expected to close and in the background nefarious deals were already being made about its fate It was built on a very valuable piece of land so we also suspected that there might have been a financial aspect behind the closure because they obviously had no interest in communicating clearly with us but it seemed as if they didn’t want to keep the Hungarian church There is no longer a single Hungarian Catholic church in the whole of New York State and I even spoke out and asked the parishioners to come to New York afterwards because if we don’t have enough attendance What could you do about it as a member of the Parish Council it was no small sacrifice for me to go to the Parish Council meetings in Manhattan once a month at 7pm; but I was always there and I always looked for the opportunity to make a difference in Hungarian affairs There were many more Americans than Hungarians on the council and most of the time I was the only Hungarian who spoke American members of the Parish Council were generally interested in what I was proposing I remember once we were in Hungary in the winter and in the two-towered Rókusi Church in Szeged because it was so cold—even inside the building When I told them about it at the next meeting after my return Then I asked them to think about the conditions in which people go to church in Hungary… This changed the whole mood of the meeting and they even wanted to start fundraising for that particular church was bothered by the fact that I often spoke and I always spoke about Hungarian topics on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the 56 revolution there was a serious disagreement within the church… 49 people representing practically all of New York Hungarian organizations including one of the last Hungarian Catholic priests even donated one or two thousand dollars for the committee two young Franciscan priests came to serve one after the other but the result was that everyone was on the 56 Committee And while we were celebrating in Carnegie Hall with a beautiful memorial service and concert there was a ‘counter-celebration’ organized in the White Hall of the church which caused a great rift in the community and the number of mass attendees never went over 100 again Vas died quite young and unexpectedly and he was followed by Fr Since Father Laci moved back to Hungary last year They all gave up their free Sunday afternoons to serve us… What could you do for the church as Lay Committee President For quite a few years I was the vice chairman of the Lay Committee founded by Róbert Harkay I took over for him for a good three years Not only did I write the weekly newsletter but it bothered me seeing someone offer a dollar for the offertory at mass since that’s far from enough to keep it going… The community offers time and energy but those who have more should give much more We also have supported various organizations Eleonor Kelley—an American with Hungarian roots (her mother was from the Highlands today’s Slovakia)—was a member of our choir for a long time and after her husband’s sudden death the Hungarian Christian Education Fund (HUCEF) for many years sponsoring students from Hungary to America for six months to study at the meeting of the organization in Washington I received a medal for my support of the Hungarian cause which was presented to me at a reception by Géza Jeszenszky the Hungarian Ambassador to the United States at the time I jokingly remarked to him that this Kossuth Medal was as valuable to me as the Kossuth Prize could be to someone else in Hungary sometimes you have to open your wallet for the community her name was put on a plaque in several churches where my brother lived and a church had been built nearby there is a Memory of Catherine Oroszlány plaque on the altar which my brother and I donated to—I didn’t remember that until we attended the unveiling event and saw our names on the back of the statue tell us about the Hungarian community in Port Jervis Father Iván Csete still had the (non-Hungarian) church where he served as the Pastor of Saint Thmoas Acquinas church in Forestburgh Ani and I moved to our present home in Pennsylvania we started going there every first Sunday of the month for a Hungarian mass and also helped to clean up the yard around the church the parish was still in operation for a few months so we cleaned out one room and turned it into a chapel where we had Hungarian mass on the first Sunday of every month I think Father Csete celebrated masses there on other occasions They closed it and they even took away the key and wouldn’t even let us go in… It was also very ugly Father Csete moved to a monastery house for six months and from the train station he traveled to New York City every second week to celebrate the Hungarian mass there Cardinal Péter Erdő told me when we met in Washington DC: ‘Now you have a Hungarian priest to say mass to you in Hungarian…’ I didn’t have the opportunity then but I later explained to Bishop László Kiss Rigó of Szeged that it was almost like someone from Győr Hungary every Sunday afternoon to say mass Shortly after Father Csete started to take the train to New York City on Sundays he was looking for a parking lot in Port Jervis so he entered the Catholic church to talk to somebody about it The very sympathetic parish priest not only said yes to him but offered him the opportunity to move in here because it’d be easier for him to travel to New York City regularly from there and he could possibly help him out with celebrating masses as a resident priest Except for a short period when several parishioners from St Stephen’s Hungarian Catholic church in Passaic NJ also came to attend the monthly masses here and the period of the Covid pandemic when many parishioners passed away or moved out of the area but unfortunately we are all getting older and new people rarely join Zoli making the coffee and Erzsike creates and brings the cakes Father Csete still helps out in his old church for example he is still the pastor of the firemen’s brigade there and goes to their meetings and still visits New York every other week We are worried about how long he will last Hungarian Conservative is a quarterly magazine on contemporary political philosophical and cultural issues from a conservative perspective In recent years French transnational company Veolia has emerged as a leader in the environmental sector where it has implemented significant initiatives aimed at addressing water pollution and enhancing energy sustainability The company’s strategic investments and innovative technologies position it to tackle pressing environmental challenges such as the proliferation of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) often dubbed ‘forever chemicals’ due to their persistence in the environment In February 2024 Veolia made headlines with its acquisition of a gas-fired power plant in Gönyű, Hungary, from German energy giant Uniper. This move underscored the company’s commitment to electric flexibility and energy security within the European market. According to Le Figaro significantly bolstering Veolia’s ability to balance the energy grid amidst the growing integration of renewable energy sources The importance of energy flexibility cannot be overstated as Europe strives to reduce its carbon footprint and transition towards more sustainable energy solutions Veolia’s acquisition is part of a broader strategy to double the EU’s electrical flexibility by 2030 enhancing Veolia’s portfolio and consolidating the company’s capacity to leverage its existing expertise in water management which has been operational for several years allows Veolia to generate power while maintaining a focus on reducing emissions By adding this gas-fired plant to its portfolio Veolia not only diversified its energy sources but also enhanced its capacity to manage supply and demand fluctuations in the grid the company aims to offer a full treatment solution that includes detection commonly used in various industrial applications and consumer products due to their water- and grease-resistant properties have accumulated in the environment and human body Veolia’s initiative comes as increasing regulations from governments worldwide mandate lower acceptable levels of PFAS in drinking water Veolia’s approach includes not just the detection of PFAS in water but also advanced treatment methods and waste management solutions. As reported by L’Eau, l’Industrie, les Nuisances the company introduced a new range of mobile treatment units that will aid municipalities in managing PFAS contamination more effectively General Director Estelle Brachlianoff emphasized that Veolia’s latest capabilities integrate multiple areas of expertise within the company ensuring a holistic approach to water treatment The mobile units are designed to be deployed rapidly in response to contamination events This agility is crucial as municipalities and industries face increasing scrutiny regarding their water quality and environmental impact Veolia’s efforts to combat PFAS are complemented by its ongoing research and development initiatives aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of its treatment technologies The company invests heavily in innovative processes that can reduce the time and resources needed to detect and remove these harmful substances from water supplies Veolia’s commitment to innovation is further exemplified by its advanced membrane production facility in Oroszlány, Hungary. This facility has been pivotal in producing ultrafiltration membranes that can effectively filter out PFAS and other micropollutants. According to L’Usine Nouvelle the Oroszlány site is recognized as the largest global production hub for these membranes which are crucial for maintaining water quality in treatment facilities The membranes produced here utilize state-of-the-art technology to capture pollutants at a microscopic level making them effective against even the smallest contaminants This aligns with Veolia’s goal to double its technological solutions in the water market positioning itself as a global leader in this field Estelle Brachlianoff noted that the Oroszlány facility has already tripled its production capacity since its inauguration in 2002 and plans to further expand its operations to meet the rising demand for effective water treatment solutions the production facility reportedly operates around the clock utilizing advanced machinery to produce millions of square meters of membranes each year These membranes have been designed specifically to address the challenges posed by PFAS and other micropollutants ensuring high-quality filtration for both municipal and industrial water treatment processes Veolia’s initiatives are not limited to Hungary. They reflect a broader, global strategy aimed at capturing a significant share of the PFAS treatment market. As highlighted in an article by Capital the company aims to secure one-third of the global market for PFAS treatment With a revenue trajectory that has already seen its PFAS-related earnings rise from €50 million in 2023 to €200 million in 2024 Veolia is poised to meet its ambitious €1 billion target by the end of the decade The market for PFAS treatment is rapidly evolving where a significant proportion of drinking water has been found to be contaminated New regulations set to take effect aim to reduce PFAS levels creating a robust demand for effective treatment technologies The anticipated growth in this sector is further fuelled by heightened awareness of environmental issues and the critical importance of clean water for human health With the growing recognition of the importance of sustainable industry and water recycling Veolia’s various power plants in Hungary are fine illustrations of innovative initiatives born out of European and Western cooperation May there be as many as there are engineers on both sides of the pond “I was a little bit nerdy” Tony Oroszlany answers cheerfully when asked about his time as a student at Loyola School I went on to be a history major in college so history was likely one of my favorite subjects The conversation takes place in Oroszlany’s office on the ground floor of his high school alma mater The space is decorated with memorabilia from Oroszlany’s decades at Loyola School from pictures of alums attending each other’s weddings to a portrait of Mrs Oroszlany holding their newborn son that was photographed by Frederick Agnostakis Every item evokes a spirit of community and love for Loyola that has grown deeper with time The Loyola School mission statement references cura personalis a Jesuit principle translated as “care for the whole person.” It’s an approach Oroszlany models for his students showing how Loyola not only honed his math skills and admiration for the arts but also shaped his principled approach to leadership I also want all of you to go on to be great professional successes and But then you recognize that whatever you have you can help others with as well.’ And our students seem to embrace that message Oroszlany has fostered Loyola’s community service programs which send students out to perform acts of service as far afield as Baltimore and as close to home as the Mary Manning Walsh nursing home on East 56th Street Oroszlany completed his undergraduate degree at Georgetown University but the Upper East Side native soon returned to Loyola joining the staff in 1994 and sticking around for seven years until 2001 during which time he also completed an MBA at Fordham University A business degree is a somewhat uncommon step for a school administrator I wasn't imagining that I'd be the school's leader but I did recognize that some of what you would learn in receiving an MBA can be applied to not-for-profit management,” Oroszlany says He came home to Loyola most recently in 2003 putting his business skills to use as the school’s vice president for advancement and strategic planning before stepping into his current role Combining his managerial training and dedication to Loyola’s spirit Oroszlany has overseen strategic initiatives — including the remodeling of the school’s library and science labs — that have helped Loyola maintain its competitive edge and holistic tradition “The manager I probably lean on the most is the founder of the Jesuits He just has so many thoughts that are 500 years old that still apply to us every day He tells students: ‘Go forth and set the world afire.’ So just go out and capture it,” Oroszlany says “He wants us as educators to influence those who will influence others That's going to be true a hundred years from now as well.” Even the teaching of Jesuit principles has evolved to keep up with the times who used to embody the school’s spiritual core have fallen into short supply since the 1970s and ‘80s Jesuit schools — including Loyola — have become more proactive in sharing their philosophical foundations while also celebrating the “added dimension of learning” that comes from welcoming students of other faiths into the school community “The world they're going out to is very different .. So let's go back 10 years each go around: Ten years ago They're being prepared for a different world every step of the way,” Oroszlany says underlining the importance of evolving with the times “So often people see this generation as one who are too dependent upon technology I really believe that they are ready to lead the world I think they'll do a better job than we've ever done.” 2019 -- As a result of increased global demand for membrane technologies used in the water sector SUEZ will invest approximately €30 million to expand its state-of-the-art facility in Oroszlány where it manufactures ultrafiltration membranes for water and wastewater treatment Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjártó and SUEZ - Water Technologies & Solutions CEO Yuvbir Singh met to commemorate the expansion The plant is one of the largest in the world dedicated to the production of hollow-fiber ultrafiltration membranes SUEZ’s ZeeWeed membranes separate particles The ZeeWeed 500 technology is the building block of many advanced industrial and municipal wastewater treatment facilities which have chosen MBR over conventional methods of treating wastewater to better meet stringent wastewater discharge regulations and to conserve freshwater supplies through water reuse The expansion of the plant will lead to a significant increase in production capacity of the ZeeWeed 500 product line responding to an increasing demand for such membrane technologies “This project is a reflection of both our strong commitment to the local community and the world’s growing need for membrane-based solutions to achieve high-quality water for discharge or reuse,” said Yuvbir Singh CEO of SUEZ Water Technologies & Solutions “The market for membranes is strong and will continue to grow.” © BorgWarner Inc. | Legal Policies & Privacy | Your Privacy Choices | Site Information | Contact Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker by DANIEL BEEKMAN/ Bronx Times Months ago, Senator Ruben Diaz had no idea what a SMART Board was.

Hungary — Images of Janos Baranyai dislocating his elbow at the 2008 Olympics have been viewed more than 15 million times on YouTube Baranyai’s right elbow popped out of its socket as he was attempting to snatch 148 kilograms (326.3 pounds) in the men’s 77-kilogram (169.76 pounds) division at the Beijing Olympics His elbow was reset by doctors in China without the need for surgery and Baranyai spent three weeks in the hospital doing rehabilitation work after returning to Hungary “The reason I watched the video was to see what my mistake had been,” the 27-year-old Baranyai said “I didn’t find any mistakes and I’d do it over in exactly the same way Baranyai’s right forearm bent backward as he crouched and lifted the barbell over his head he fell forward screaming in pain with his lower arm hanging at an impossible angle “I’ve never felt such pain,” Baranyai told The Associated Press during interviews in his home and at the nearby gym where he trains with the hope of qualifying for the London Olympics There are none on his elbow because doctors were able to avoid surgery this injury did not break me at all,” Baranyai said It never occurs to me what would happen if my elbow were to give again.” The only visible reminder on his elbow is a tattoo — “Beijing 2008” over the five Olympic rings but I had the tattoo put on a few months after the injury,” Baranyai said He began lifting weights again about six months after Beijing when his elbow was feeling better but his back was still sore “My spine was very painful for more than half a year the president of the Hungarian Weightlifting Federation said he was amazed by Baranyai’s resiliency “His injury was severe and very rare,” Dobos said “It is his tremendous spiritual strength which has helped him overcome it Many believed that he would be scared of the weights in Hungary when Baranyai’s parents and older sister saw the accident while watching the live broadcast from Beijing Three hours went by before they were able to get news of his condition “My mother would have been happier if I’d retired but by now she has resigned herself to my plans,” Baranyai said He was back to full strength in about a year and returned to international competition in 2010 Moving up to the 85-kilogram (187.39 pounds) category Baranyai finished seventh at the European championships and 15th at the world championships that year Baranyai’s hometown of Oroszlany is a city of 22,000 people about 75 kilometers (46 miles) west of Budapest The city’s landscape is also blemished by the brutal central planning schemes of the earlier era with gray housing projects quashing the traditional Oroszlany’s struggles are also reflected in the gym where Baranyai and the rest of the team trains Oroszlany’s weightlifting club has produced a string of quality athletes An earthquake in the region in January 2011 was strong enough to knock down Baranyai’s large collection trophies off the shelf and for months he was forced to work out in the family garage because the team he competed for during several years — from the eastern city of Nyiregyhaza — was unable to pay his gym fees Baranyai still uses the garage for morning lifting sessions and has his sights on April’s European Championships in Antalya Dobos said that a medal there would practically ensure Baranyai a place at the Olympics in London with his return from such serious injury also supported by the International Fair Play Committee Baranyai’s biggest challenge seems to be adding some weight to his muscular frame but my ideal training weight would be 87,” Baranyai said also a former national junior judo champion will be 28 by the time of the London Olympics but he hopes to continue his career until at least the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro there would be time another four-year cycle Metrics details Topological materials host robust properties owing to the global topological properties of the bulk electron system Materials in which the topological invariant can be changed by easily tuning external parameters are especially sought after Zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe5) is one of a few experimentally available materials that reside close to the boundary of a topological phase transition allowing the switching of its invariant by mechanical strain we unambiguously identify a topological insulator–metal transition as a function of strain by a combination of ab initio calculations and direct measurements of the local charge density Our model quantitatively describes the response to complex strain patterns found in bubbles of few layer ZrTe5 without fitting parameters reproducing the mechanical deformation-dependent closing of the band gap observed using scanning tunneling microscopy We calculate the topological phase diagram of ZrTe5 and identify the phase at equilibrium enabling the design of device architectures which exploit the topological switching characteristics of the system These experiments are supported by first-principles calculations that also show the very same pattern of contrasting results a The considered unit cell of the crystal The wavelike Te–Te chains run parallel to the crystallographic c direction and to the z-axis in the corresponding Cartesian coordinate system b Atomic resolution STM image of ZrTe5 surface in the x−z plane is superimposed in a fading manner The STM image calculated by DFT is overlaid on the crystal structure (right side) It highlights the Te atoms on the sample surface which dominate the atomic resolution STM topography STM image measured at 800 pA tunneling current The initial geometry was fully relaxed by ab initio calculations (see section Methods for more details). The starting point of the relaxation was the lattice constants provided by our X-ray diffraction measurements of the bulk sample. The experimental and relaxed theoretical geometry parameters can be found in Table 1 sample bias for a–d –100 mV and –500 mV for panel e DFT predicts a gap closure at the edge of Bubble1 but only at the \({{{{\mathcal{A}}}}}_{1}\) point and not at \({{{{\mathcal{B}}}}}_{1}\) The absence of the band gap means that the density of states must be higher in the area around the point Tracing the same

are responsible for the in-plane shear It is clear that both decrease the band gap but the εxy component has a smaller contribution compared to εyz it can be clearly observed that the magnitude required to close the gap is as high as 7.5% which is too large to explain the effect observed on Bubble1 We can find the explanation to the LDOS halo observed in the meauseremnts by looking at the curves in the adjacent panel The solid blue line denotes the effect of the εzz component on the band gap Positive strain values close the gap at around 1.5% but the negative values first widen the gap and after 2% start closing it We found that εxx and εzz behave identically for positive values only showing a drastic difference for compression namely that εxx closes the gap for much reduced strain values a The phase diagram of the electronic structure of the crystal under mechanical strain At every point the size of the gap was calculated and a sign has been assigned to it according to the topological flavor of the gap The negative gap corresponds to the strong topological insulating phase while the positive gap to the weak topological phase The black solid tentative line indicates the boundary where the Dirac cones in the Γ point touch each other The green dots assigned with a number denote the corresponding band structure in the b subfigure The inset shows the corresponding Brillouin zone indicating the high-symmetry points b The calculated band structure along the path of the high-symmetry points The opaque band shows the size of the gap and color indicates the topological flavor Figure 4b shows three typical band structures at points 1 The first band structure shows a strong topological insulating phase the red opaque band highlights the 22 meV band gap As we go towards point (2) we reach the gray area where the band gap is closed but there is no touching of the bands At point (2) the bands corresponding to the massive Dirac fermions touch each other around Γ As we go further towards point (3) the Dirac cones open up and the band between the high-symmetry points A1 and T lift up from the Fermi level This opens a gap in the weak topological insulating phase with electronic properties that are extremely sensitive to its lattice parameters This over-sensitivity has led to controversies in the crystal’s literature in recent years the sensitivity makes it a perfect candidate for strain engineering the material across a topological phase transition In this contribution we have combined density functional theory and finite element calculations with direct measurements of the charge density allowing us to identify the mechanical deformation needed to induce topological phase transitions in the material We showed that shear in the plane perpendicular to the van der Waals direction could also lead to a phase transition Our results pave the way for a robust understanding of the band structure and topological properties of ZrTe5 enabling future investigations into the physics of topological phase transitions as well as applying these in electronic devices The simulated STM image was obtained for a three layers thick sample that we cut from the original bulk crystal in the (110) orientation We used Monkhorst-Pack resolution 20 × 12 × 1 in the geometry relaxation this case where the samples were separated with a 40 Å thick vacuum in the perpendicular direction The simulated STM image was obtained by the tools developed by the SIESTA developers where the position of the tip was 2.5 Å away from the position of the topmost Te atom The general form of a deformed crystal is the following45: The general expression for the free energy in the orthorhombic system is The bubbles were simulated by a 20,000 × 20,000 Å2 block The thickness of the block was matched to the sample size in the STM measurements The sides and the bottom of the block were fixed and we applied hydrostatic pressure on the bottom of the block on an ellipse shaped part of the bottom to match the shape of the bubbles in the STM measurements The pressure was chosen to match the height of the bubbles STM measurements were performed using an RHK PanScan Freedom microscope at 300 K and 9 K temperatures in UHV STM tips were prepared by mechanically cutting Pt/Ir (90%/10%) wire We have used a large working distance optical microscope to place the STM in the vicinity of selected ZrTe5 crystals dI/dV spectra were measured using a Lock-In amplifier with a reference frequency of 1.372 kHz and a bias modulation of 5 mV at 9 K and 30 mV at 300 K X-ray diffractometry measurements were performed in the parallel geometry using a Bruker AXS D8 Discover diffractometer equipped with Göbel-mirror and a scintillation detector

the season's berries The blueberry is indigenous to the Pine Barrens and is a relatively new crop to cultivation; it was farmed commercially for the first time in New Jersey in Whitesbog in 1916, according to the New Jersey Historical Commission New Jersey produced 44 million pounds of blueberries according to the state Department of Agriculture.  In 2017, nearly 9,600 acres of New Jersey farmland were devoted to cultivating commercial blueberries, with another 100 acres for wild blueberries, according to the U.S. Census of Agriculture.  FullBlue 360 hopes to take advantage of

consumers in New Jersey can have a locally grown premium blueberry from June all the way to the end of August and it's fresh," said Bohlin as farm workers picked the last of the summer crop behind her.  the company hopes to expand blueberry farming into areas previously believed to be inhospitable In 2018 FullBlue 360 announced plans to grow early and late season blueberries in the dry foothills of Nye County and take advantage of demand in nearby Las Vegas and West Coast cities To custom care for each bush in these different climates and conditions the company bags bushes in

and disease and blight if there's too much rain," she said Department of Agriculture is encouraging farmers across the nation to adopt sustainable agriculture practices like these in order to increase food production for a growing population and protect and preserve resources in the surrounding environment Local market demand is also high for New Jersey-grown blueberries procurement manager of produce for Wakefern Food Corp. which supplies ShopRites throughout the region as well as supermarkets across 10 states About 95 percent of the farm's produce ends up in Wakefern stores The FullBlue 360 organic blueberries are carried in more than 300 of their supermarkets in the Northeast "Locally grown is a big hit in our stores," he said while touring the farm on Monday.  Sales of organic foods are also on the rise according to the Organic Trade Association. In its 2019 survey organic food market surpassed $50 billion in sales in 2018 Bohlin said the crop on the Lacey farm has not yet reached its maximum but expects the farm to yield 350,000 pounds of USDA-certified organic blueberries by 2022 or 2023.  "We're the only place in America right now where this is being done," Bohlin said "We're essentially a natural conversation project as well as a food producer Amanda Oglesby is an Ocean County native who covers Brick Barnegat and Lacey townships as well as the environment She

Oroszlány factory the company plans to extend production capacity by 50% which will include the 20% expansion of the existing workforce of 700 Not only capacity will increase significantly by 2015 but the range of applied technologies will expand as well the number of staff increased by 80 people several engineers have been hired for newly created positions their job had been done in the company’s German plant BorgWarner manufactures turbochargers for the passenger cars of Audi BMW and for Deutz and Fiat tractors as well The first workshop of the Hungarian factory was opened in 2001 which very well represents the dynamics of development at the company with which the factory’s area had grown to 13,386m2 BorgWarner’s investments in Hungary have reached 25 million EUR and the company's plant in Oroszlány has become the second largest factory of the turbocharger-manufacturing branch The BorgWarner Group holds together 63 companies in 18 countries all over the world and it employs 17,400

know that I had the pleasure of meeting with Mr Mott Hall V is a zoned school in the New York City Public School System Mott Hall V’s founding Principal who has been there for 12 years took exception to a recent column I wrote celebrating the growing number of charter schools that serve families and children in my district Oroszlany claimed that while charter schools are able to pick and choose their students and educates public school children from grades 6 through 12 who reside in the area Oroszlany’s dedication to his students and I need to echo how very proud we all are of the  85% – 90% graduation rate of Mott Hall V I applaud the Mott Hall V’s graduates who have received full-freight scholarships and Posse Foundation Scholarships to Ivy League colleges and some of our nation’s top universities Some Mott Hall V students face serious challenges that include poverty but due to great efforts of the school’s administration and its faculty their students remain undeterred and still succeed in spite of the odds one of the schools where many parents outside of my district wish their children could attend It is important for you to know that whenever I have an opportunity to allocate resources and capital funds to help the public schools in my Senatorial District You should also know that due to the ugly bureaucracy that exists in the New York City Department of Education and the New York State Dormitory Authority there remain outstanding capital grant funds for public schools in my district that I allocated and were approved as far back as 2010 This more than a five-year delay in disbursing the funds for our public schools is between the New York City Department of Education and the New York State Dormitory Authority If our public school children did not have to wait 5 or 6 years for needed resources that seem to flow into the Charter Schools without delay our public schools would be in better shape If more available resources actually reached the desks of our public school children then our public schools would be more competitive and our children would absolutely be prepared to compete Everyone who is helping our children to have the same opportunities as children in other areas of the city deserve to be celebrated Those who are not and who stand in the way of our children’s success should be publicly held accountable when I write about the miseries of public schools in my Senatorial District here in the South Bronx and what we need to do to help our children and families to have access to quality education I need to also celebrate the great successes of Mott Hall V I am Senator Reverend Rubén Díaz and this is what you should know El Sol de la Florida sirviendo a la comunidad hispana del estado por más de tres décadas

tender is scheduled to happen in the second half of February and will concern at least 20 state-owned castles According to Válasz Online an independent Hungarian media outlet working with the financial help of their readers the first round of the Hungarian government’s castle privatisation scheme ended The Orbán cabinet found new owners for four castles following the decision of János Lázár He added that another round of privatisation would come in the second half of February the remaining two castles were given to local governments The Esterházy Castle in Majk will go to the city of Oroszlány, while the Wenckheim Castle in Szabadkígyós will be acquired by Hódmezővásárhely Hódmezővásárhely’s mayor is Péter Márki-Zay the prime ministerial candidate of the joint opposition in the 2022 general elections who suffered an incredible defeat from PM Orbán three years ago Oroszlány is led by the Fidesz-backed Károly Takács Lázár added that they called for applications for eight castles in the first round and received 21 bids which he called “a particularly good result” he did not explain why the other four castles were not donated to any of the applicants when Válasz Online first wrote about the Hungarian government’s plans concerning the privatisation of the Hungarian castles Válasz Online highlighted that some castle buildings were revamped with taxpayers’ HUF billions but the Hungarian government seems committed to transferring them to companies or wealthy individuals The reason is that the Orbán cabinet believes the state is an inadequate owner unable to renovate and operate the castles properly Former President Katalin Novák refused to sign the relevant bill multiple times which resulted in a serious conflict with Lázár Novák resigned following the clemency scandal last February and the Hungarian Parliament approved the scheme months later the first tender round could begin last autumn Válasz Online wrote in December 2023, almost a year before the announcement of the first tender, that Nádasdladány will belong to the Richter since some managers were shown around in November in the castles of Nádasdladány The Richter managers chose Nádasdladány after the tour because of its proximity to Budapest to be transformed into an elegant retreat or recreational centre for the company’s top executives It is a big question whether companies or wealthy individuals can operate such castles two local governments won castles: the Esterházy Castle in Majk was given to the municipal government of Oroszlány while the Wenckheim Castle in Szabadkígyós to the opposition-lead Hódmezővásárhely It is questionable whether these local governments can operate those castles and have the financial assets to complete the necessary renovations Lázár referred to that dilemma in his announcement video the taxpayers’ of the two cities will have to pay for maintaining while Péter Márki-Zay has not yet commented on the decision Válasz Online believes that the two castles going into private ownership will ensure public access both castles house excellent historical exhibitions and cafés for visitors; their furnishings consist of museum artefacts on deposit and pieces specifically purchased for this purpose Accessibility to the castles and their exhibitions was a requirement in the tenders it can be difficult to ensure compliance with those commitments and
