Saturday 1 August 1998

Guten Morgen! Jó reggelt! Dobré ráno!

Twenty years ago today, I do something quite unusual. I visit a new country in its physical form, and visit another new country through the radio airwaves. And this is actually possible. How and where? More will be told in a bit. Here is the overview - wake up, have a shower (40 ATS fee with towel), have breakfast - take the tram line 51 to Westbahnhof - In the rail pass, write 01 on top and 08 on the bottom - Board the first class train to Budapest, leave about 10 AM - About 11:30 AM cross from Nickelsdorf (Austria) to Hegyeshalom (Hungary), get passport stamp - 1:30 PM At Budapest Keleti Pályaudvar, board bus to youth hostel - Check in to hostel, walk to the "Ferenciek Tere" metro station. Take M-3 to Déak Ferenc Tér - take M-1 "Földalatti" to Hösök Tere (Heroes Square) and admire the pillars and Angel Gabriel statue - take M-1 to Mexikói Út, eat something unusual at Burger King then back to Vörösmarty tér, buy Hungarian CDS at record shop near the Vigadó, and buy a funny souvenir T-Shirt - Walk along the Lánchid (chain bridge) across the Danube from Pest to Buda, take funicular to Buda Castle - Observe the castle and eastward view across the Danube, even see Parliament, pass by St Matyas church - take shuttle bus to Moszkva Tér and M-2 to Déli Pályaudvar, have sandwich and soft drink - take M-2 to Batthyáni tér, ride HÉV suburban train to Szépvölgyi út and back. - take M-2 to Pillangó utca, sun was starting to set, back to Vörösmarty tér - Chicken dinner at Vigadó and a Dréher beer, and Romani music including xylophone and violin - Take M-1 and M-3 back to Ferenciek Tere, walk to hostel, try to go to sleep in hostel dorm room. And that was all for that Saturday. But here is the more comprehensive story, feel free to read along.

Saturday 1st August 1998 it was declared official on many Austrian radio stations - the German grammar and punctuation reform had taken effect. And to think I was in Austria at that time too. I woke up about 7:30 AM, went to have a shower. To date, the only time I ever had to pay in a hotel to take a shower, was at Hotel Rustler. ?? It was not too bad, just 40 ATS for the key to the shower room and a towel. I had my toiletries with me. After I gave the key back, I was dressed for breakfast. Breakfast was included in the hotel stay. They had my favorites, namely breadrolls, butter, jams, coffee with milk, and deli meats. I remember distinctly in the breakfast room, that someone asked in German if they were allowed to smoke. The owner said please don't. ???????

About 8:30 AM it was time to head to Westbahnhof, but my train to Budapest would not leave until at least 10 AM. I took the tram line 51 to Westbahnhof, and I thought to take the U-6 a little ways up towards Michelbeuern AKH and back, just to kill time. Otherwise I would get on a train that I would have to transfer anyway. The train I was meant to take, it was air conditioned, had nice six-person compartments and restaurant car between first and second class. Before boarding the train, I made sure to mark the next free spaces with 01 on top and 08 on the bottom, leaving three more space pairs. ??

The train left at 10 AM, and would make the following stops Bruck an der Leitha Nickelsdorf (border) Hegyeshalom (border) Györ Tatabanya Budapest Keleti Pályaudvar and on to Szeged, Novi Sad and Subotica in the Vojvodina region of Serbia and finally in Belgrade.

I listened to some Vienna radio stations while the train was going through the Schwechat airport area. One song I heard was "Alles wird sich ändern" by the band Echt. The only other time I heard it on the radio was 8th September 2000 while in Stuttgart. FM4 was off the air as it was only an evening / nighttime channel, it was replaced by Blue Danube Radio until the switch at 6 PM. The last I heard on that station was Paul Young's 1983 hit "Wherever I lay my hat" cover version of Marvin Gaye, then Blue Danube mentioned the border crossing wait time, and for most of the day I heard almost only Hungarian and some slavic language.

The train arrived at Nickelsdorf about 11:30 AM to check for passports. ???????????? I received an exit stamp for Nickelsdorf, the usual Schengen stamp. About 15 minutes later the train arrived in Hegyeshalom on the Hungarian side. The ÖBB train locomotive was replaced by a MÁV locomotive (blue and yellow), and Hungarian customs came to my compartment to check and stamp passports. The stamp I received was red and green. After leaving Györ, there was a representative of the Hostelling International Hungarian chapter. She gave information on a program that the hostels participate in, to shuttle guests to hostels in Budapest near Keleti Pályaudvar, all I would need to do, was to find the shuttle bus, and ride along.

As for radio, between Györ and Tatabanya, I was able to pick up ?????? Slovak radio stations, cabaret comedy ??and music, as if I were actually in Slovakia and not Hungary. One song I remember was "Vsetko Je Inak" by Vidiek. Most of the other Slovak material was two-person standup comedy.

The train arrived about 1:30 PM and I found the shuttle, sort of east of the station. There must have been at least twelve people on that bus, as the Ford Transit non-turbo diesel engine was struggling to accelerate. I did find a hostel that was fairly central, the Apáczai Csere János High School and Dormitory, on Papnövelde u. 4, open for non-students during the summer. I had an ??eight person dorm room and access to the showers and bathroom, but no breakfast was offered. Cafes were far cheaper than in Vienna or even Prague, so finding a place for an affordable breakfast would not be a concern.

And now would be the first time that whatever I learned for Hungarian, would be put to the test. My only task at the time, would be to buy a day pass for the metro. And I had to remember, despite Hungary being next to Austria, few people in Budapest spoke German or English. When I made it to Ferenciek Tere on the M-3 line, I went to the ticket office, and tried to say "napijegy", with a horrible mispronunciation of the "gy", and I had to repeat and even point to the ticket. The lady gave me the correct pronunciation and also a day pass for 350 Forint, punched for 1st August. In Budapest the day passes are valid up to 12:01 AM.

The Budapest metros at the time, except M-1, were similar to those in Moscow, St Petersburg, and Prague. I took the M-3 to Déak Ferenc Tér and transferred to the M-1 "Földalatti" which was in operation as early as when the Habsburg Empire still ruled Austria and Hungary. It follows half its route in a shallow tunnel under Andrássy út. I took the M-1 to Hösök Tere, and admired the columns, there must have been about twelve, and there is a statue of the Archangel Gabriel.

I was getting hungry so I went farther northeast to Mexikói út, past the Széchenyi Fürdö (municipal swimming pool open year round). There was a Burger King and I ordered something a bit different than the usual beef burgers. They had, similar to the McDonalds McPink, the "Piggy Burger", basically a pork patty served with the usual condiments and veggies and so on. After that, I took the entire M-1 line to Vörösmarty Tér almost on the east bank of the Danube. I wanted to buy ???????? CDs in Hungarian, so there was a music store close to the Cafe Gerbaud. I bought a couple, namely "Majom tango" by Quimby, "Rossz Penz" by Gjon Delhusa, "Ugyánaz a tuz" by Manhattan, and a cassette by rap duo Animal Cannibals, formed by Qka MC and Ricsipí, "Kés, villa" (knife, fork) - they started in 1989 and as far as I was able to find out, they still are together. No I did not misuse my phrasebook in the record store à la Monty Python ?? "Eye wheel not bye zeese record, eet eese skretched!"

Around the corner there was a shop that sold typical Hungarian souvenirs, for example cheap "puszta" and a funny shirt with some guy with a few liter mugs of beer, a justifiably wide grin, and the word "BUDAPEST Hungary" on it. I bought one in yellow, thought my photo has only the black version as visible.

After buying my t-shirt, I thought it was a good time to walk along the Danube and cross the Széchenyi Lánchíd (chain bridge). The Danube also has active tram tracks on both banks for an unforgettable ride.

On the other side of the bridge, namely the Buda, was a funicular. To ride the funicular up to the castle, required a 100 Forint ticket, and the napijegy was not valid. At the top was the castle and part of the Habsburg-era old town. The castle itself was built more or less on Greco-roman styling, with corinthian-order columns. Walking northeast towards the Szent Matyas church along Szent György utca, there had to be twenty of the Hungarian flags flying, the ones with red, white and green. Szent Matyas was a quarter mile farther along Disz Tér and Tárnok St. Szent Matyas has its bell tower at the "south" corner closest to the street and the shorter parts are to the other directions, giving it its distinctive design. The Fishermans Bastion overlooking the Pest part of the city across the Danube, is accessible by Szentháromság tér.

After that, I took the shuttle bus to Széll Kálmán tér, known in 1998 still as Moskva Tér. I took the M-2 to Déli Pályaudvar, the south long-distance rail station. I was hungry and bought a pepperoni, salami and cheese sandwich for about 200 Forint and a can of 7 Up. That would be enough until supper. I think it was about 5:30 PM or so. I wanted to take a ride on the HÉV suburban rail system, particularly the current route "H5", so I had to go to Batthyáni tér station and transfer.

To get to the HÉV station, I had to go up one escalator level, and cross a corridor to the tracks for the HÉV, there were two or three as I remember. The trains looked like they were from the mid 1970s to early 1980s, and looked more like the trams and Földalatti than the M-2 and M-3 Metro trains. After the HÉV train left Batthyáni tér, there was only one other underground station, Margit Híd Budai hídfö. The conductor checked everyone's train tickets and also my napijegy. I alighted at Szépvölgyi út and took a photo of the departing HÉV train. Waiting for the return train, I think it was fifteen minutes, and I think it was 6:15 PM when I returned to Batthyáni tér. The HÉV station is in a shallow tunnel compared to the metro. Taking the escalator to the street, I boarded a tram line 19 and rode only to Halász utca along the Buda side of the Danube, and had an excellent view of the Hungarian parliament building. The parliament building is very distinctive, one of the most recognizable buildings on the Pest side of the Danube. In 1998 there were still many Trabants and Wartburgs to be seen, many in either rice pudding color or baby blue, same as prior to the reunification of Germany of October 1990.

Since tomorrow (Sunday 2nd August 1998) the train would not leave until 12:30 PM, I had to find a place to put my clothes bag, so I had to ride the M2 from Batthyány tér to Keleti pályaudvar and see if there was a left-luggage or locker room. The left luggage was attended, so I could go place my bag there for about 600 Forint until it was time for the return train. It was starting to get dark, around 8 PM, and there was one last place I wanted to see, and that was Pillangó utca. In Hungary, Poland, and also Serbia, in the summer, the sun rises and sets earlier, significantly earlier, than it does in Spain. I think by about two hours. In Spain for example, it can be dark until 7:30 AM and in Hungary the sun can be up as early as 5:15 AM. If somehow the European Union discontinues the Daylight Savings Time scheme, the sun will rise as early as 4:15 AM in some locations of the Central European +1h time zone.

Pillangó utca is the first surface metro station after the Puskás Ferenc Stadion, renamed from "Nepstadion". This is one of the few stations on the Budapest metro that have side platforms. You can even see the third rails on the platform edge side. Even on the new M-4 that was opened in 2014, the third rails are on the platform side that cannot usually be seen. I crossed the pedestrian bridge to the westbound platform and could see the sun set. The street lights went on and it was time to head back to Déak Tér and Vörösmarty tér to find somewhere to eat.

I found an inviting place close to Vörösmarty tér and where I bought my t-shirt. This was the Vigadó. They had live music, particularly from a ?????? Romani band that had a xylophone and violin, for a uniquely Hungarian dining experience. I had a Dreher beer to start, and then chicken with paprika with vegetables. I must have stayed there for over an hour because the music was very good. I listened to the radio only when the band went on break.

After supper, I took the M-1 to Déak Tér and the one stop by M-3 to Ferenciek Tere to walk back to the hostel. While trying to go to sleep, I listened to the radio, even hearing the classic "Ringo" by Lorne Greene. "i knew there was still a spark of good, in Ringo ??Riiingo - Ringo??"

My roommates that night seemed to have more energy than myself, were a bit noisy until around 1 AM, made it difficult to sleep but I managed to sleep all the same.

That is almost all for Saturday the 1st August 1998. There was a little more I wanted to see of Budapest before going back to München, I was also able to find an excellent place for breakfast. I got to see the most peppers in my life on display. And then at 12:30 PM I had to go back to München. So there is more fun for tomorrow. Köszönom! D'akujem! And Gute Nacht!

An analysis and data on Mental Research + a leading reference.

Criminal minds. Season 10 - Episode 21 (or 23 on itune.fr): Childish fears

Mental anarchy tree.

Moral statistics André-Michel Guerry (1802-1866) for France and Adolphe Quételet (1796-1874) for Belgium, are considered to be the founders of moral statistics.

They are indeed among the first to take an interest in crime statistics and offenses. Their studies on the numerical consistency of crimes sparked a broad discussion between freedom and social determinism. Throughout his career, A.-M. Guerry was interested, for example, in the search for relationships between social and moral variables.

He noticed the great regularity of crime and suicide rates through the ages, which gave him a glimpse that human actions were perhaps governed by more general laws, similar to those governing physics.

Their work constitutes one of the beginnings of criminology as well as of sociology.

This is why finding the Max-Planck Institute for Human Development among other references has been quite mind-blowing.

Criminology: the scientific study of the nature, causes, development and criminal control from both an individual and social perspective.

It is an interdisciplinary field which studies the criminal phenomenon and which calls on many disciplines ranging from psychology, law, sociology (especially in the field of sociology of deviance) or economics.

The field of criminological research covers the incidences, forms, causes and consequences of crime as well as the social and institutional regulation of the reaction to crime.

Taught in universities, it is sometimes referred to as "criminal sciences" in French, or "criminal studies" in English.

Crimes, however, can equally well encompass everything that is relative or which constitutes a crime (arson) as that which relates to repression, to the sanction of the crime (criminal brigade), which conceives a crime, participates in it ( criminal organization), which is at the origin of very serious events, which passively lets them happen (criminal silence) and which is contrary to moral laws and condemnable (criminal love).

Within the FBI, the specialized team of the Behavioral Analysis Unit investigates the most serious criminals and serial killers.

The profilers, based in Quantico, Virginia, travel by air to all states of the country and sometimes across borders. Under the authority of Agent Aaron Hotchner, all members each have a specific feature that allows them in a complementary way to understand the reasoning of criminals, and therefore to solve intrigues.

Each episode of the series begins and ends with an author's quote read in voice-over.

Wireless telegraphy, and radiotelegraphy allows writing from a distance using electromagnetic waves.

To transmit messages, wireless telegraphy uses the Morse alphabet, in which letters are represented by combinations of long signals or dashes and short signals or dots.

Using a Morse manipulator, these signals are matched to short or long series of spark emissions. The first international radiotelegraphic conference organized in 1903 in Berlin led to the first marine bands, then from 1912 to TSF bands with wavelengths shared between services (the wavelength is the unit commonly used until the 1960s when the use of frequency becomes predominant).

Propagation of radio waves:

Ground wave propagation over the Earth's surface.

Until 1925. Only ground wave propagation was known.

Ground waves travel on the Earth's surface between the ground and the ionized layer of the atmosphere.

The wave propagates regularly during the day and with a slight strengthening at night.

The greater the transmission power, the greater the distance covered by the ground wave.

The attenuation of the ground wave energy is a function of the square of the distance and a function of the square of the radio frequency, disregarding the curvature of the earth on an exponential kilometers/watt basis by the Establishment of the propagation equation from Maxwell's equations.

The diurnal reception by ground wave of marine stations in the wavelength of 600 meters distant from 2000 km is possible on a particularly salty sea and therefore more conductive. Under the same conditions, a ground wave signal propagating over rocky terrain could cover barely 500 km.

Television is a set of techniques intended to transmit and receive audiovisual sequences, called television programs:

Programs, films and advertising sequences.

The content of these programs can be described by analog or digital methods while their transmission can be done by radio waves or by cable network.

The apparatus making it possible to display the images of a program is called a television, or, by metonymy, television, or by tele apocope, or by initials TV.

Television is dependent on an economic, political and cultural network (national or regional languages, genres and formats, regulations and broadcasting authorization).
