Place Marketing in Hungary: The Case of Debrecen

After the political transformations in East-Central Europe local authorities were forced to realise that they have to employ more active policy, and consequently, the use of place marketing became more popular. The study examines one particular city in Hungary, Debrecen, and concentrates on two areas. First, it presents what methods were employed in an attempt to attract economic players and tourists, and to increase the satisfaction of existing target groups. Secondly, it evaluates the steps taken: how characteristic were the tools used in Debrecen in other Hungarian cities, and what positive and negative features of marketing activity can be identified

Percolation on a product of two trees

We show that critical percolation on a product of two regular trees of degree $\ge$ 3 satisfies the triangle condition. The proof does not examine the degrees of vertices and is not "perturbative" in any sense. It relies on an unpublished lemma of Oded Schramm.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/10-AOP618 the Annals of Probability (http://www.imstat.org/aop/) by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (http://www.imstat.org
