Baron Franz Xaver von Zach was a Hungarian astronomer born at Pest, Hungary. Zach studied physics at the Royal University of Pest, served for some time in the Austrian army, he taught at the University of Lemberg. He lived in Paris in 1780–83, in London from 1783 to 1786 as tutor in the house of the Saxon ambassador, Hans Moritz von Brühl. In Paris and London he entered the circles of astronomers like Joseph de Lalande, Pierre-Simon Laplace and William Herschel. In 1786 he was appointed by Ernest II, Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg director of the new observatory on Seeberg hill at Gotha, finished in 1791. At the close of the 18th century, he organised the "Celestial Police", a group of twenty-four astronomers, to prepare for a systematic search for the "missing planet" predicted by the Titius-Bode law between Mars and Jupiter. Ceres was discovered by accident. Using predictions made of the position of Ceres by Carl Friedrich Gauss, on 31 December 1801/1 January 1802, Zach recovered Ceres after it was lost during its passage behind the Sun.

After the death of the duke in 1804, Zach accompanied the duke's widow on her travels in the south of Europe, the two settled in Genoa in 1815 where he directed an observatory. He moved back to Paris in 1827 and died there in 1832. Zach published Tables of the Sun, numerous papers on geographical subjects on the geographical positions of many towns and places, which he determined on his travels with a sextant, his principal importance was, however, as editor of three scientific journals of great value: Allgemeine Geographische Ephemeriden, Monatliche Correspondenz zur Beförderung der Erd- und Himmels-Kunde, Correspondance astronomique, hydrographique, et statistique. He was elected as a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1794, a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1798, a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1804, an honorary member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1832. In 1808, von Zach was in Marseille where he observed and explained the phenomenon of the Canigou mountain in eastern Pyrénées which can be seen twice a year from there, 250 km away, by refraction of light.

Asteroid 999 Zachia and the crater Zach on the Moon are named after him, while asteroid 64 Angelina is named after an astronomical station he set up near Marseille.

Hungary – United States relations are bilateral relations between Hungary and the United States. According to the 2012 U. S. Global Leadership Report, 38% of Hungarians approve of U. S. leadership, with 20% disapproving and 42% uncertain, a decrease from 53% approval in 2011.. According to a 2018 poll, 68% of Hungarians view the United States favorably; until 1867 the Kingdom of Hungary was a part of the Austrian Empire and from 1867 to 1918 of the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary. United States diplomatic relations with Hungary were conducted through the United States Ambassador to Austria in Vienna. After the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire following World War I, Hungary and the United States established bilateral relations through a legation in Budapest established in 1921; the first American ambassador to Hungary was appointed on February 10, 1922. Diplomatic relations were interrupted at the outbreak of World War II. Hungary severed relations with the U. S. on December 11, 1941, when the United States declared war on Germany.

Two days on December 13, Hungary declared war on the United States. The embassy was closed and diplomatic personnel returned to the U. S. Normal bilateral relations between Hungary and the U. S. were resumed in December 1945 when a U. S. ambassador was appointed and the embassy was reopened. Relations between the United States and Hungary following World War II were affected by the Soviet armed forces' occupation of Hungary. Full diplomatic relations were established at the legation level on October 12, 1945, before the signing of the Hungarian peace treaty on February 10, 1947. After the communist takeover in 1947-48, relations with the People's Republic of Hungary became strained by the nationalization of U. S.-owned property and what the United States considered unacceptable treatment of U. S. citizens and personnel, as well as restrictions on the operations of the American legation. Though relations deteriorated further after the suppression of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, an exchange of ambassadors in 1966 inaugurated an era of improving relations.

In 1972, a consular convention was concluded to provide consular protection to U. S. citizens in Hungary. In 1973, a bilateral agreement was reached under which Hungary settled the nationalization claims of American citizens. On 6 January 1978, the United States returned the Holy Crown of Hungary, safeguarded by the United States since the end of World War II. Symbolically and this event marked the beginning of excellent relations between the two countries. A 1978 bilateral trade agreement included extension of most-favored-nation status to Hungary. Cultural and scientific exchanges were expanded; as Hungary began to pull away from the Soviet orbit, the United States offered assistance and expertise to help establish a constitution, a democratic political system, a plan for a free market economy. Between 1989 and 1993, the Support for East European Democracy Act provided more than $136 million for economic restructuring and private-sector development; the Hungarian-American Enterprise Fund has offered loans, equity capital, technical assistance to promote private-sector development.

The U. S. Government has provided expert and financial assistance for the development of modern and Western institutions in many policy areas, including national security, law enforcement, free media, environmental regulations and health care. American direct investment has had a direct, positive impact on the Hungarian economy and on continued good bilateral relations; when Hungary acceded to NATO in April 1999, it became a formal ally of the United States. This move has been supported by the 1.5 million-strong Hungarian-American community. The U. S. government supported Hungarian accession to the European Union in 2004, continues to work with Hungary as a valued partner in the Transatlantic relationship. Hungary joined the Visa Waiver Program in 2008.

Port Plaza Mall was an urban area shopping mall/multi-use facility located in downtown Green Bay, Wisconsin. The mall opened on August 10, 1977, featured 3 anchor stores over the years, with JCPenney and H. C. Prange open at its launch and Boston Store added by 1982; the mall would go into a state of decline in the late 1990s and 2000s, leading up to its closure on February 27, 2006. The mall property was razed during the 1st half of 2012 as part of a redevelopment project. After many years of planning by city leaders, ground was broken for Port Plaza Mall in 1975; the mall opened for business on August 10, 1977, under the ownership and management of Chicago-based Mansur & Associates. At its opening, the mall had space for 99 inline tenants and two anchor stores, a 160,000 sq ft. JCPenney on the East end and a existing 300,000 sq ft. H. C. Prange store on the West end. A noted feature of the mall was a four-faced clock tower, whose bell and clock mechanisms came from the Montgomery County Courthouse in Winona, Mississippi.

By August 1982, Port Plaza Mall would expand by 160,000 sq ft at its Southern end, including a new food court and a 3rd anchor, a 110,000 sq ft. Boston Store. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. purchased the mall property in 1986. Two years in 1988, Port Plaza underwent renovation that included the addition of neon light fixtures, new floor tiling, fountains at center court; the first major anchor change for Port Plaza came in the summer of 1992 when H. C. Prange was subsequently renamed. In 1997, Whitehall Funds purchased Port Plaza and 9 other malls from Metropolitan Life, named Johnstown, Pennsylvania-based Zamias Services, Inc. to manage Port Plaza. By this time, the mall was in the midst of a decline as shoppers lost favor with the mall and its downtown location and preferred stores and malls in outlying locations such as Bay Park Square in suburban Ashwaubenon; the mall would lose one of its three anchors in 2000 when Boston Store was merged with the same company that owned Younkers. In 2001, the mall was acquired by Development Associates, who planned to turn the mall into a mixed-use facility with both retail and office space.

The company would rechristen the mall Washington Commons in recognition of Washington Street's reconnection through the former food court, relocated to the former fountain area in center court. However, the exodus of major tenants would continue, with McDonald's and Osco Drug leaving the mall in 2002, followed by Payless ShoeSource in 2003, LensCrafters, Champs Sports, Bath & Body Works in 2004. Though Washington Commons would attract the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, who opened a satellite campus and offices in part of the former Boston Store court in 2004, the mall would receive two big blows in the closures of its last two anchors, Younkers and JCPenney, who both left for newer Ashwaubenon facilities in 2004 and 2005, respectively. Following JCPenney's departure, plans were announced for APAC Customer Services to move its offices to the former Penneys space, but those plans fell through when a deal could not be reached. APAC would instead reach a deal with the City of Green Bay and BayLake Bank to move to the former Boston Store location, where BayLake Bank was developing a branch and other office space.

Development Associates would take the issue to court, citing conflict of interest by the City and BayLake Bank. Though the parties would reach an out-of-court settlement, the cost of the suit would leave Development Associates in debt. By February 20, 2006, with the mall facing foreclosure by BayLake Bank and electrical services about to be disconnected, mall ownership notified its last six tenants that they would have to vacate the mall within 7 days; the city gained ownership of the mall property as part of the settlement with Development Associates, the property was put up for sale with an $8 million price tag. From February 27, 2006 until its razing, the Port Plaza Mall/Washington Commons property would remain vacant and closed to the general public, though janitorial and security services would be provided in case of potential development and inspection; the mall's clock tower was removed in June 2010 after being repurchased by its former owners in Winona, Mississippi. Several proposals to redevelop the mall property would be announced in the years after the mall's closure, among them a May 2008 plan by Middleton, Wisconsin-based T.

Wall Properties that featured an 8-to-10-story office building with ground-floor stores and restaurants and re-establishment of the original pre-mall street grid. An attempt that year to obtain federal stimulus funds for redevelopment of the site was turned down. In 2010, the city received enough interest in the property to seek $1 million in urban redevelopment funds to be put towards both the mall's demolition and the reconnection of Adams Street through the mall's former center court; the funding was part of an appropriations bill approved by the U. S. House of Representatives on July 29, 2010 but went nowhere in the Senate afterwards with a new Congress taking over in 2011, against such earmarks. A more definitive plan came on June 7, 2011, when Green Bay-based Schreiber Foods announced plans to demolish the main mall property, the former JCPenney anchor location (which had never been r
