Image rights: Exploitation and legal control in English and Hungarian law

In the past decades due to changed technical advances, features of the personality have become economically exploitable to an extent not previously known. Pop stars, TV celebrities as well as famous athletes have sought protection against the commercial use of their images, names and likenesses without their consent.1 Despite the economic value of personality and image rights, there is currently no international standard or agreed legal concept for recognising an image right. While many jurisdictions, for example, the US, Germany, France and Hungary offer express statutory protection against the unauthorised commercial use of an individual’s image by a third party in the context of publicity or personality rights, English law provides no cause of action for the infringement of image rights as such. Although a celebrity may currently obtain protection through various statutory and common law rights, such as the developing law of privacy, trade mark law breach of confidence and, in particular, the tort of passing off, none of these rights were designed to protect image or personality rights.2 In this context, this article explores the potentially enforceable rights, their benefits and practical strategies to protect name and image rights in the UK3 and Hungary

Food and Drink preparation at Ebla, Syria : New Data from the Royal Palace G (c.2450–2300 BC)

Ebla was the capital of an important kingdom during the Early Bronze Age of Inner Syria (c. 2400-2300 BC). Its political and economical relations with other regional centers (i.e. Mari, Kish and Nagar) and its administration and managing of the territory have been reconstructed thanking to the discovery of the State Archives inside the palace. The excavations carried out by the Italian Archaeological Expedition headed by Paolo Matthiae brought to light, beside the Administrative Quarters with the archives and storerooms for keeping precious objects, wings and sectors devoted to transformation of primary products (mainly cereals), equipped with benches and installations. Moreover, tens of vessels, including cooking pots, storage jars and table wares have been found in their original position at the time of the final destruction. In this paper data shedding light on food preparation will be presented and a particular attention is given to a peculiar large kitchen in which several hearths have been discovered together with cooking pots and vegetal remains. This room cannot be considered a kitchen for food preparation but a space linked to the Court of Audience in which probably the preparation and storage of special beverages, took place. Many wild plants occurred in the earth samples analyzed, and almost all of them have medicinal properties. It is most likely that these wild seeds were intentionally collected for the preparation of medicinal substances, infusions or drugs. The use of medicinal plants is suggested by a pharmaceutical text of the Ebla archives, but also their consuming during ritual and ceremonial occasions can be argued. The close vicinity of this room to the Court of Audience emphasizes its importance and of the activities that took place there

Diverting Municipal Solid Waste from landfill: new methods in Hungarian waste management

Facing the new challenge in Hungary to meet the EU legislation diverting waste stream from the landfill is inevitable. Low-waste design products and reuse are preferred, although recycling and recovery are also necessary to reach the ambitious goal of waste management. Besides finding new methods for recycling materials from Mixed Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), it is beneficial to make use of an appropriate fraction as an energy source for industry and for power generation. To reach the end-of-waste status of MSW, special standard requirements must be met by special processes. Standardisation processes also assist customers to develop their technology to be prepared for the new type of fuel transformed from waste, by setting up limits and giving specifications. In this way, Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) or Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) can be introduced to various technologies as a replacement for non-renewable fuel, especially for the cement industry and power plants
