History:
Kozármisleny
The history of Kozármisleny is rooted in the early Bronze age, as indicated by archeological findings. Roman remains have also been found in the area[citation needed]. The transcontinental military road connecting Sremska Mitrovica-Pécs-Szombathely-Sopron led not far from the place. The Avars
living here between the 6th-9th centuries also left some relics behind.
Several tombs have been found dating back to the time of the Hungarian conquest.
The village got its present form when two smaller settlements, Kiskozár and Misleny, were united in 1928. The name of Kozár was first mentioned in documents in 1332-1335, in the papal tithe registers, in the form Kosar. Misleny was first mentioned in a document dating back to 1266, as Myslen. The place played an important role in the development of Baranya county. Originally there were two areas, each governed by a castle built in their centres. One of them was Baranyavár, the other Koaszt with its centre somewhere between Kozármisleny and Nagykozár. Baranya county developed out of these two areas.
Kiskozár was inhabited continuously, even under the Turkish rule. In the l7th and l8th centuries South Slav families settled next to the Hungarian population. Some of them got assimilated, others moved away after some time. Around 1760, German settlers came and by the middle of the last century they were in majority. Misleny was inhabited under the Turkish rule, and in the 17th-18th centuries its population was partly Hungarian and partly Slav. After the war of independence (1703–1711), only the Hungarians remained.
Present:
Kozármisleny is currently going through a period of growth and development of infrastructure. The town has restaurants, pension lodgings, two confectioneries, two bakeries and SPAR shops, two pharmacies, as well as dentists and adult and children doctor's offices. The population has also grown. In the 1970s there were 2000 people living in Kozármisleny, now the population is 5579[citation needed]. The President of the Republic of Hungary declared it a town on 1 July 2007, becoming the 13th town of Baranya County[citation needed].
In the town there are two catholic churches and a reformed church. The original Roman Catholic church of the village was consecrated in 1971. Inside this church is a statue of St Margaret of Scotland. The second Roman Catholic church, built as a part of the convent, belongs to the St Francis of Assisi Sick Nurses. Its construction began in 1993 and was consecrated on 31 March 1997, to St Nicholas of Flü (Klaus Ruder, patron saint of Switzerland). The designs were made by Ottó Vince, an architect living in Pécs.
Several local associations and civil organizations work in Kozármisleny. These are active in organizing the town's feasts, competitions and folk dance meetings.
The town celebrates its day on 6 September. Awards are given on this day.
East of Kozármisleny, there is a mediumwave broadcasting station working on 873 kHz with 20 kW using a 133 metres high guyed mast radiator as antenna.
UN climate chief Christiana Figueres to step down
The UN's top climate diplomat, Christiana Figueres, has said she will leave her post in July.
Ms Figueres said she would not accept an extension of her appointment which finishes this summer.
As executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, she played a key role in the talks that lead to the Paris Climate Agreement.
Her contribution to the negotiation process was praised as "really extraordinary".
Ms Figueres became executive secretary in the wake of the Copenhagen climate conference in 2009, widely perceived to have been a failure.
Over the past six years she helped rebuilt the momentum for a global compact, which saw 195 nations sign the Paris Climate Agreement after weeks of intense negotiations in the French capital last December.
In her letter to the UN confirming that she was standing down, the 59-year-old Ms Figueres highlighted the importance of that deal.
"The Paris Agreement is a historical achievement, built on years of increasing willingness to construct bridges of collaboration and solidarity. It has been an honour to support you along this path over the past six years," she wrote.
Before taking the UN post in 2010, Ms Figueres had been part of Costa Rica's climate negotiating team since the mid 1990s.
Pope Francis says Trump ‘not Christian’ because of Mexican border wall plan, candidate calls pontiff's remarks 'disgraceful'
Donald Trump has been declared “not Christian” by the world’s foremost expert on the topic — Pope Francis.
The Holy War of words erupted when the pontiff blasted the GOP presidential front-runner’s plan to construct a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and expel 11 million undocumented immigrants.
“A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian,” Francis told reporters aboard the papal plane after a visit to Mexico. “This is not the gospel.”
“If and when ISIS attacks the Vatican,” the Pope will pray for Trump to be President, the billionaire blowhard said Thursday during a campaign event in South Carolina.
Rome’s Holy See is the “ultimate trophy” for terrorists, Trump added.
“For a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful. I am proud to be a Christian,” he fumed.
Kato Kaelin: Kardashians even infest ‘People v. O.J. Simpson’ series
Like most things Kardashian-flavored, the third episode of “The People v. O.J. Simpson” has a touch of reality and a huge helping of complete fiction.
Robert Kardashian (David Schwimmer) takes his children out to lunch and tells them, "We are Kardashians, and in this family, being good and loyal is more important than being famous." Either he never said that, or Kim, Khloe , and Kourtney disagree. (No offense, Kim. After all, I've known you since you were this big. And when I say this big, I'm talking about your...oh forget it.)
Let's face it, no one knew or cared who the Kardashian kids were back then, but I'm sure they'll be sprinkled throughout this series because even FXNetworks wants to ride on their coattails.
Obama offers Trump candid advice: Being President is not a 'talk show or reality show'
The reality is, being President isn’t easy.
That’s the message President Obama had for GOP front-runner Donald Trump on Tuesday, making clear he believes the ornery celebrity is highly unqualified for a gig in the Oval Office.
“I continue to believe Mr. Trump will not be President,” said Obama, placing his faith in the "sensible" American voters while speaking from at the U.S.-ASEAN leaders summit in California.
Being President of the United States is no picnic, Obama warned Tuesday while speaking at the US-ASEAN Summit.
Trump interpreted Obama’s prediction as praise after outlining his grievances against the Obama administration’s budgets, health care, immigration policies and response to ISIS.
“He has done such a lousy job as President,” Trump retorted at a campaign event in Beaufort, S.C. “He’s set us back so far, that for him to say that actually is a great compliment.”
Save for Trump’s loss, Obama skirted around predicting which candidates will ultimately win the Republican and Democratic tickets. He offered candid advice for the remaining presidential hopefuls, advice directed at Trump, the only candidate ever to host his own television program.
When addressing a growing desire to ban Muslim migrants during conservative rallies and Republican debates, Obama said the troubling remarks are not exclusive to Trump.
He critiqued Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, although not by name, as candidates mirroring Trump’s sentiment.
“(Trump) says, in more interesting ways, what the other candidates are saying, as well,” Obama said from Sunnyvale.
Man who fatally stabbed bouncer in upstate club found knifed to death in Staten Island
Police believe the suspect may have fled in a Mercedes-Benz.
A man who once fatally stabbed a bouncer in an upstate nightclub called the Heartbreak Hotel has been knifed to death in a Staten Island industrial park.
Investigators believe Anthony Perretti, 43, was repeatedly stabbed during an argument over finances on Industrial Loop East near Arthur Kill Rd. in Rossville about 2:50 p.m., police sources said.
Police found a 3-year-old in the victim’s car, apparently uninjured, sources said.
He was rushed to Staten Island University Hospital South in “very serious condition,” an FDNY spokesman said. He could not be saved, a hospital spokesman said.
"That's a drag. He got stabbed at work," said his neighbor, Nick Alberghina. "He seemed like a pretty good guy."
