Zentai: Commonwealth back in the Driver’s Seat

Home Affairs Minister Brendan O’Connor has to determine what constitutes a war crime in the legal battle to satisfy the request for extradition by the Hungarian government of 89-yr-old Perth resident Charles Zentai to face questioning over the 1944 murder of Jewish youth Peter Balazs in Budapest.

The Federal Court’s ruling last year that the Government had erred in law when approving the extradition last year has been successfully partially appealed by the Government.

The Government is now considering the decision.

Peter Balazs was an 18-yr-old spotted in a Budapest tram not wearing the mandatory yellow star. He was not obliged to as he was living under Swiss protection. He was dragged from the tram to army barracks where he was slowly beaten to death in front other prisoners.

Hungarian authorities want to question Zentai in relation to the killing.

A spokeswoman for the Minister told J-Wire: “The Full Federal Court allowed two of the three grounds of the Commonwealth’s appeal against a decision in 2010 to set aside the Minister’s determination to surrender Mr Zentai to Hungary to face prosecution for a war crime.

The Full Federal Court upheld that Mr Zentai is an ‘accused’ person within the meaning of the Extradition Act, and that the Minister took into account relevant considerations when considering whether it would be unjust, oppressive or incompatible with humanitarian considerations to surrender Mr Zentai to Hungary.

However, the Full Federal Court did not uphold the Commonwealth’s ground of appeal that the offence for which Hungary seeks Mr Zentai’s extradition is an offence for which he could be surrendered in accordance with the Treaty between Australia and Hungary. This is because the offence of ‘war crime’ was not listed on Hungary’s statute books at the time the offence was allegedly committed.

It was appropriate to appeal to the Full Court as the case raised significant and complex issues for the administration of Australia’s extradition regime.

The Full Federal Court decision is currently under consideration by the Government in consultation with the Commonwealth’s legal advisers and it is not appropriate to comment further at this stage”.

From his home in Perth, Zentai’s son Ernie Steiner told J-Wire: “While we are pleased that 2 of the 3 judges issued a writ of mandamus on the Minister for Home Affairs, the Hon. Brendan O’Connor to resolve the question of whether it was in fact a war crime that took place in 1944, we would far prefer the Government to consider my father’s age and poor health and invite Hungarian officials to Australia to question him. Living witness Mr Karoly Szabo from Sydney who was at the barracks at the time of the murder of Peter Balazs and received a report about the incident that night could also be questioned. We feel it is a reasonable proposal in the circumstances. It would give Hungary the opportunity to examine important evidence that the Australian Government refuses to consider and avoid further unnecessary costs to the Australian and Hungarian taxpayers. My father’s lawyers are reviewing yesterday’s judgment to determine the next course of action. It was difficult for everyone to grasp all the implications of the announcement in the Federal Court yesterday but my father is relieved that orders have been suspended and that he will remain on his current bail conditions for now.”

The Zentai Project is a group of people who go out in public wearing Zentai suits, for the amusement of themselves and the public.

A Zentai is a tight, colourful suit that transforms a normal person into amusement for all who see them.

We in The Zentai Project make occasional 'walkabouts' - trips with one or more people wearing zentai out in public places, and sometimes someone to take pictures. Walkabouts have happened all around the world, as you can see from the pictures in the gallery.

The locals don't know what to make of us, but the tourists love us and we get onto lots of tourist snaps - sometimes we can hardly walk 3 steps down the street before being stopped to pose for another picture.

Take a look at our Gallery to see what we're talking about.

Two former female Booz Allen partners file suits

Two former high-ranking partners at Booz Allen Hamilton have filed suit in recent weeks against the McLean-based contracting giant, alleging that they were fired because of their gender.

Margo Fitzpatrick, who had worked in Booz Allen’s finance business since 1999, filed the latest suit last Friday in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia against the company and some of its top officials. Her suit follows one filed by Molly Finn, who was at one time the company’s highest-ranking female employee and worked on Booz Allen’s environmental business.

The two complaints paint a picture of Booz Allen as a workplace where a “glass ceiling” existed limiting how high women could rise, and where contracts or programs they won were given away to male employees. Finn and Fitzpatrick describe top company leadership as unwelcoming to women, particularly pointing to overseas golf trips that never included women.

“Although several women partners are capable golfers,” Fitzpatrick said in her filing, “no woman has ever been invited on these trips.”

The lawsuits are unusual for a company that has long been regarded as one of the region’s most successful and best-run government contractors. Booz Allen has reported strong sales and profits since going public late last year.

The company said it does not comment on specific personnel situations but strongly denies the allegations.

“Booz Allen has a performance-based culture that is rigorous at the partner level, and decisions are made based on merit, not gender,” the company said in a statement. It said it will contest both suits.

Fitzpatrick, now 49, joined Booz Allen in 1999 as a senior associate tasked with working on a major initiative at the Internal Revenue Service. In 2001, she was promoted to principal and in 2005, to partner. In 2009, according to her suit, the finance and citizen services team was reorganized and Fitzpatrick began working for Lloyd Howell, named as a defendant and tapped to lead a new financial services team.

Fitzpatrick claims in the suit that Howell used “sexist humor” — once complaining that two women on his team “must have been involved in sororities in college, since they caused so much ‘drama.’ ”

Fitzpatrick, a lesbian, claims her sexual orientation also played a role in her dismissal.

As an entry-level partner, Fitzpatrick needed to be promoted within 5.5 years or she’d be terminated. Despite positive assessments that praised her ability to build a new business within the finance market, Fitzpatrick says in the suit that she was informed in September 2010 that she’d been rated “off track” and would be let go.

In an interview, she said her career options are dramatically constrained by a non-compete agreement that prevents her from taking a job with another management consulting firm. She is planning to start her own commercially focused digital media marketing company.

Fitzpatrick’s suit closely follows one filed earlier in the summer by Finn, who named as defendants the company as well as Ralph W. Shrader, who is the chief executive, chairman and president, and other senior officials.

Finn claimed in her suit that Howell told her to stop saying “pro-woman, feminist things” to Shrader, and she said other partners told her that Shrader opposed her promotion.

“The Leadership Team, led by Defendant Ralph Shrader, relied upon sexist and stereotypically derogatory views of women in determining that Ms. Finn” should be dismissed, the suit said.

A Booz Allen spokeswoman said neither Shrader nor Howell were available for comment.

The company has acknowledged the challenges of moving more women into top roles, convening senior executives at a 2004 event focused on women’s leadership, according to briefing materials for the event provided by Fitzpatrick’s attorney.

The document, intended to be read before the gathering, noted that women “remain a minority at all senior levels in the firm, particularly in corporate governance and strategic decision-making roles.”

“In view of the absence of a critical mass of women in senior ranks, both business units face significant challenges in developing women as leaders and introducing greater diversity into senior roles,” the document added.

In an e-mail Friday, Booz Allen said many women are in the pipeline for senior partner, and 21 percent of its partners are women. The company said four women lead the company’s largest market accounts: Army, Navy, National Security Agency and U.S. government classified business.

Sculptural Surprises Grace the Streets

It is the outdoor art season in New York and therefore a good time to ask what makes for a successful piece of urban public art. When art ventures away from the nurturing shelter of the white-walled gallery, it must contend with all kinds of distractions: huge buildings; noisy vehicular and pedestrian traffic; spectacular, sexy commercial signs with dizzying video imagery; unpredictable weather; the verdant beauty of a park; and the sheer interestingness and variety of so much else that in the artificial and natural fabric of the city.

One way for public art to distinguish itself is to be really big. This year’s prize for size should go to Jaume Plensa’s “Echo,” a gigantic, ghostly, white head of a girl in Madison Square Park. Towering 44 feet, it is made of molded fiberglass resin parts fitted together so the seams show. It looks as if it had been carved from a huge, laminated block of marble, and the girl’s features are rendered smoothly as if they had been eroded by the elements over the years. The head is also oddly distorted — flattened in such a way that it resembles a digitally manipulated three-dimensional photograph or a hologram. Viewed from a distance at night, when it is bathed in the bright light of lamps around its base, it seems to glow, a silently plaintive specter conjured, maybe, by the guilty conscience of a rapacious modernity.

Less spectacular but effectively haunting in its own way — partly because of its grand scale — is one of a number of works commissioned by the High Line: a greatly enlarged black-and-white photograph by Robert Adams mounted on a billboard next to that elevated park. Made in 1978 in rural Nebraska, the photograph shows a narrow, much weathered country road running between fields of tall grass and extending from the foreground to the top of a low, faraway hill. Dried, fallen leaves from small trees have gathered at the side of the road. A melancholy mood is enhanced by blocks of funereal black filling in the oblong expanse of the billboard on either side of the picture. Like Mr. Plensa’s sculpture the photograph evokes something neglected, a soulful road not taken. But there is too an eerie feeling of hopefulness, of a possibility not yet foreclosed. (The billboard will regularly present landscapes by eminent photographers selected by the photographer Joel Sternfeld.)

Mr. Adams’s photograph works not only because of its drive-in-movie scale but also because it is so different from the kind of visual material that normally attracts and assaults the public eye. A few yards farther up the High Line, strollers come upon another billboard: not an artwork but a huge advertisement for Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club. With its blaring purple and gold hues and the come-hither expression of the sultry woman it pictures, it must be an embarrassing thorn in the side of the High Line’s administrators, who clearly favor low-key subtlety over high-impact flash. Another expansive piece on the High Line, for example, is a long wall of windows by Spencer Finch called “The River That Flows Both Ways.” Each of hundreds of panes is the color of a pixel from a photograph of the surface of the Hudson River. Jade, wine, teal and other muted hues produce a lovely, quiet symphony of color.

An elephantine sculpture in front of the Seagram Building on Park Avenue at 53rd Street has much going for it: impressive scale, contrast with the normal environment and popularly appealing imagery. Urs Fischer’s “Untitled (Lamp/Bear)” is a 23-foot-tall representation of a lumpy yellow stuffed bear wedged into the space between the base and the shade of an old desk light. Weighing in at almost 17 tons, it is made of painted cast bronze and has table-top size button eyes sewn on with rope. The light glows at night. (Christie’s, the auction house that recently sold the sculpture, organized its outdoor presentation.)

For contemporary art followers the obvious comparisons are Jeff Koons sculptures like the giant shiny “Balloon Dog” and the flower-covered “Puppy.” But the Fischer displays little of the fanatical attention to surface and detail seen in Mr. Koons’s work. It also relates to the tradition of the Duchampian found object and the absurdist Pop Art monuments of Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. Leaving aside its presumptive pedigree, however, it is not very different technically and aesthetically from the kitschy, Pop-realist sculptures of J. Seward Johnson, whose enormous representation of Marilyn Monroe in her upward-billowing dress has caused much debate in Chicago since its recent installation there downtown.

Zentai, fetishistic practice that has emerged among Japanese practitioners also win in Brazil

Mark * is a vendor of computer products. Single, he says he came from a conservative family and asked not to be named. Wake up early, works all day necktie. Attends trade shows and meet customers. Jaunty, he has an intense professional life and says he values ​​the reputation. Do not want your friends and contacts from work know his secret: a few nights a month, he wears a colorful suit and fair, all pasted that covers the face - a la Spiderman - goes to a party and sadomasochistic. There he makes a sort of erotic dance without anyone knowing your identity.
Exhibitionist, Mark is a practitioner of Zentai, an artistic expression - and sexual - that appeared in theaters in Japan in Portuguese, the expression means' The body as a whole. " Today, it is a common type of fetish sex parties and orgies in China and Japan - conservative societies. In Brazil, it has few practitioners. Most men. Among them, Mark, who for lack of having their clothing where to buy, ask for a seamstress to make them discreet.
"The whole point of Zentai is that by protecting your identity it allows a release, without trial and without prejudice," he says. "It's still a very new thing. But when I do my performances at parties, people are very curious to try. Women who like to play the role of submissive in bed are the most interested. I think it's because Zentai allows a complete cancellation, even identity. "

The athletes are not afraid of kilincstol

Zsofikát could not have nowhere to send a foreign place, as he stood in the doorway, not daring to ring either leg of the other, stroking, and if he did not come by chance someone he did not ask what you want elolldogolt up to an hour ...

I, Senta, a former school principal said, was hit nine times out of ten, or Hungarian to Serbian student knocked on his door. The knock means everything betrayed ... In Hungary, the junior coaches welcomed the young people from Serbia came from, because they consider them at least had the opportunity to ellesni a csibészséget a low hardness of the Serbian counterparts, while the Hungarian boys, this option is not given. Of course, that the young people more optimistic, more loosely, without the anxiety of victory forced by circumstance to start the race, the press can play an important role. While the Hungarians, the glass is half empty, unable to evaluate the success in part, and only a matter of victory, while Serbia are quite differently to these things. A good example is the recent World Championships in Shanghai in water, after which the Serbian water polo squad arrived home addresses are welcomed, such as: Welcome to the champions! Serbia or the champions! The news articles I sent a Hungarian sports journalist, who wrote back: - this addresses a losing World Cup final, after Hungary, never to appear in ...

Indeed, the Serbian national team from 8:7 in the final losing to Italy, but this is not disturbed by the Serbian journalists to be treated as the world's best in the squad.

Through sport can be seen in the difference between the Serbian and Hungarian children, it is essential that young Hungarians in Vojvodina, more of in sports. The reason is simple: those who play sports, sportoltak long before acting and then, and if you are in a position like Magda Szabó's protagonist, I'm sure (personal experience as a starting point) to first try to use the handle, take their hands of their own destiny as those who avoided sports clubs and competitions. The athlete is not afraid of failure, because you already know that he experienced in training, and the beginning of his career on several occasions lost than won. The athlete can expect the same to it now as an hour later, so there is no point elfecsérelni own time, the "match" will sooner or later. And more important: the training of athletes graduated at a young age he learned the time and strength, and - if you have good coaches fell into the hands - in other areas of life experience more than korosztályába of young people. Not incidentally, learning a language is much more effective and faster than the athletes, because, who practiced a competitive sport, several times a week forced the Serbian language is used in tournaments. These arguments and the fact that sports in close contact with healthier, less often, patients, performance and load capacity is higher, just to confirm are that education, science, culture and information, the sport is very important should be provided in a community that wants to remain viable. Over the last eighty years, much has changed, but Albert Szent-Gyorgyi idea is still relevant:

"The sport is not only physical but also the spirit of the noblest and most powerful educational tool."

Adventurer step was the acquisition of Mol pakett

zentai You are performing relatively better in recent times than in Western Europe. A narrow, energy-saving measures have been taken - especially in the  - which means there is already a light at the end of the tunnel. Hungary has also been improved in relation to the , but deplores the fact that the IMF offered inferior conditions compared with conditions in addition to free-market funds, while the IMF - supported the steps already, we will take the government. It's not clear, as is the case, nor that the existing IMF loans, why did recently - when was the target of public spending cuts - a corporate package to buy shares. The 500 billion is Mol. In addition, a hanging in the air before the global stock market crash occurs. No matter how well or poorly they do things in Eastern Europe, Western Europe will drag along any further fall in the eastern region. The latter can not be independent from. Western Europe's problems should first be able to handle. "
The World, commenting: "There are over 100 billion now falls to the state of the Mol-shopping"
The purchase price of 22,400 forints per share fell by 26 percent since the Mol on the BSE, so the balance of the purchase date, nearly 130 billion minus points.
The reason, according to the vg.hu, not just the international atmosphere that is the world's stock exchanges of heavy losses seen for days, and that the price of oil also shows a significant drop, which is also not good for the oil company. But also that "the more afraid to put pressure on the Hungarian government, having bought a 21.2 per cent of the Russian Szurguttol Mol hand, and that the government's intention is not clear: some indications that the government may sell the shares if the 2012 budget process will require other indications that I was not that they sell. "
As the Ministry of National Development (NFM) on July 8, ai of communication we can, "the Hungarian government 2011th July 7 at 21.2 percent paid for the shares in MOL 1.88 billion purchase price of the package, it acquired ownership of the Russian oil company.
According to the communication step is simultaneously augment the national wealth, to resolve a situation imposed on the Hungarian-Russian relations, and enhancing the character of the company's strategic Mol.
MOL shares apiece 22,400 forints paid by the Hungarian State.
The purchase price has already been called up and unspent, free for IMF loan to cover, so the acquisition of property involving the expenditure does not increase the national debt. "
Vg.hu quoted by the news Tuesday morning in Mol's share price was 16,500 forints on the Budapest Stock Exchange.
The composition according to portfolio.hu "Raffaella Tenconi, Bank of America economist for Merrill Lynch's London home Monday analyst report commenting on the Hungarian government data released Friday, is not exactly an optimistic tone. Tenconi points out that the first seven months of 1500 billion accumulated deficit in the original deficit target of around [687 billion - ed.] 217 percent. The Mol-share package eliminating the deficit met 'only' had 126 percent. Merrill economist separate hangsúlyzta: 4.6 percent increase in spending in July (year / year basis), which is the highest growth rate this year. "

it is obvious that this would create a precedent

Zentai Peter - In journalism it is also compressed. Elmar Brok on this issue, what I said and make the most of our students are interested in, without a doubt was very clear. He expressed twice in the conversation strong hope that common sense will see the Hungarian Parliament, the European law in a case such as debt management issue, not issue to court by a former prime minister. Unless the prime minister at the time did not violate the law. But then he understands that the law did not infringe. Still, I do not think no one is to Elmar Brok, someone who you obviously also criticized the Fidesz not been expressed solidarity in a variety of other issues. For example, the constitution is not in any case he was attacked by the Hungarian government, but rather defended. Defended the media law matters in that it indicated that the Hungarian government, which was readily granted.
- I mean, the European Union implemented the changes requested by the Committee.
- Yes. Yes. So this is not about that, in general condemnation of Elmar Brok, or Fidesz, the Hungarian government or the party on behalf of the people away, but actually maintains its position. But in the concrete case, whatever it is, so this post-impeachment, but this is definitely repeat, and even a greater repeating what the Austrian public radio said two weeks ago, in this case.
- But even so it is perhaps even more important thing, because while basically stands as the European People's Party of brothers is a leading representative of Fidesz addition to events while literally says: "In my opinion, that will hopefully come to understand that the European legislation in the EU under the laws can not be tried them former Prime Minister, if it does not violate the laws were in effect at the time of their governance. Especially not on the grounds that their actions contributed to an increase in public debt. "
- Yes. Well, it is obvious that this would create a precedent. Not only it is a question which is of course the more important to face go Hungary in the European case law, and as he repeatedly said, the rule of law, but also to what kind of precedent within the EU, if subsequently recognized ask the last few years in any country kormányfőtől any indication that the country during the DAMAGE that much debt, and increased that much, as all EU countries, this was so. In many places much more strongly over the last four or five years, the debt than we do here.
- Elmar Brok Who is this? This thing is now, then. Who he is, so to warn the Hungarian Government?
- Well he is. Elmar Brok, otherwise a very strong relationship in Hungary. The Hungarian-German forum called, so to speak, ad hoc think tank, the two country's leading economic experts, politicians compacts. Once or twice a year at the Berlin or Budapest. As vice president, and is also head of the European People's Party of Foreign Affairs, the European Parliament's foreign policy chief of the faction, he is a foreign policy leader. Who, again I say, had a very strong addition to the Fidesz angazsálta himself, perhaps most powerfully around 2006. And then we observed was that more and more restrained in this powerful Fidesz-protein binding, and in this interview tried very objective to be, but maintained its order - and it felt, I think, in the interview - the European People's Party leader expected solidarity with the people's party's direction. As he indicates, to the other parties to do so with the Socialists, the Socialists against the show you solidarity, liberals liberals, and yet you have not had time and space, in the interview that part which is very important to defend this In the interview, Daniel Cohn-Bendito the attacks perpetrated against Hungary. Saying that though serious opponent of the European Parliament is a substantive debate with him ...

The state of Hungarian literary life and

Since last year no longer guests, but also director of participants in the camp of Transylvania, the Backa, in the Highlands, in Slovenia, Croatia, in Transcarpathia, the Alps, in Sweden, Germany, in Western Hungary Hungarian writers, like Tokaj, so spring 2010 Since the mother country. The well known that wonderful szőleje Tokaj, the noble, the szamorodni, Furmint, Muscat wines of the town is called. Fewer people know that the Foothills, pearl of the Upper Gate of the citadel in the literature. Tiszaladány between the two world wars, and the Tokaj region formed in the summer camp tradition of writers. In the weeks that preceded Aug. 20, at St. Stephen's, the new bread (in communism only to the Constitution), the feast of weeks, the Hungarian nation is vital committed writers, literary historians, public figures of people in a short week, or if the finances so dictated two to three days, gathered to discuss the most serious problems of national literature.
The era of the Aczel-party state cabinet just forty years ago, decided that the best feelings in the drainage channels when the rambunctious summer kipöföghetik writers themselves in the picturesque town of one another. But Tokaji Writing Camp is always túllőtt far, so once in 1986, disabled the power (Bozóki Andrew Liberal Democrat Minister of Culture is trying to do the same in 2005, so that at the last minute postponement of the camp by the end of the allowance, he did not succeed, the camp was held), so this year it held only 39 Writers' Tokay Camp, and reorganized for forty years.
This year the meeting was the central theme particularly topical to the frightening fact by Palffy Renáta recently wrote to the MNO wrote: more and more places to hear your digital könyvformációk as a whole, leválthatják the printing press, the digital magazines in the number of domestic growth in emergency scenarios blood cries.
This situation must be handled wisely, to find a printing press and the delicate balance between digital formations, Hungary: the possibility of peaceful coexistence. In no way can resolve what has been witnessed in the United States, where schools want to delete the traditional writing instruction, saying the computer keyboard pötyögtetnek have kids anyway, why is writing. Anyway, it's only acknowledgment of an existing condition, because of the outdated figure who pen, pencil, paper, Irish? - Declare the overseas "experts".
This is absurd, because the paper, a pen and a man is born of an intimate relationship with a real literature, born of the pen the first draft of a major study. It is no coincidence that America has been virtually eliminated in contemporary poetry, and fiction is dying for real, poetic prose and verse since the computer can not be written. The machine creates a distance, suitable for writing the article, or sort of, precisely kidekázandó commercial, pseudo-or semi-literary works to create, which is now flooded with a Hungarian supermarket counter is admitted. You can call it literature intake. 39 The Hungarian Writers' Tokay Camp status conference on literary life and the acquiescence of the defense instead of the 21 ways to develop against the challenges of the century.
The program is the 2011th August 10 on Wednesday morning starting at 11 Rákóczi cellar, Attila József Mezey Katalin-winning writer, poet, writer Tokaji Camp Board President in his opening speech.

Arts and heritage protection

The Pécs University of Arts Faculty of ten days Senta artists' colony in the framework of Friday evening was opened in the City Hall portico of the colony of artists participating in large-scale exhibition of young artists in the Zenta monument and historic buildings inspired by the works to consult the interested parties. The exhibition in the portico outside the Town Hall in front of a large-scale chalk drawing, the building's balcony was a particular installation. The participants of several artists 'colony is also a historical monument building tables placed so that the language of art is to invite the public and the authorities' attention to the fact that the buildings should be saved from destruction.
The Vojvodina Hungarian Cultural Institute organized on July 21 to 31 and held between the artists' colony in Senta Senta-born leader of the dr. Raffay Endre Art Historian, University of Pécs, Faculty of Arts Department of Art History and Theory was the head of department. The ten participants, two of the two artistic director, Bavarian Zita and Clement Peter made the painters and the rest of the Pécs University of Arts Faculty students, whom the Bolyai Gifted High School a few fine arts student of joined in order to gain an insight into the academic professions, under which the leading participants in Vojvodina also heard presentations from experts in the colony.
The artist's site manager, Raffay Andrew said he thought the art to this day a major role to such issues, which public opinion is concerned, even the art of language might be better to call those people who every day see, use and damaging these buildings.
- Hoped, by several different works to raise awareness of the buildings aesthetic values ​​and historical or cultural aspects, maybe can start a process which has resulted in the everyday world pay more attention can they possibly begin to defend, or even a way renew them that the original values ​​are not violated. On the one hand the people of Senta is in this way we wanted to address, on the other hand, we wanted to call the city's management and the conservation agency's attention to the fact that these buildings should be saved from destruction - said Raffay Endre.
A colony of artists participating in a task it was, which were required to produce portraits of inhabitants, Senta, even the well respected persons. The portraits of realism, however, in some cases - apparently deliberately - the expense suffered which were intended to highlight to the building facade of the changes, like human faces may fall in some changes, and that ill-considered changes in almost all cases, destruction result.
To ensure that the building public awareness of the importance of protecting even more spectacular in the world, one student Andrew Raffay together with planned conservation tables. All five of these tables housed in five historic buildings. The selected buildings on Friday afternoon on behalf of the colony monument. But since this was not an official body, and it obviously is not an official monument signs placed on tables, but works of art, which is intended to draw attention to the houses.
- The main aspect of the buildings, choosing the former, that is to look for, which is uninhabited, so only a single hair separates them from demolition considered fall, so even though it officially went after him, perhaps at the last minute intervene in order to save them. These buildings are almost without exception, in the nineteenth. century in the last third was built in historicist or eclectic, mostly neo-Renaissance elements using the houses that are avoided in recent years, the transformation wave, thanks to the remaining of the original facade architecture, which means that state, which have to be restored - said the head of the department.
The University of Pécs, Faculty of Arts staff would like to see artists' colony in the Senta become a tradition, the young artists every year and get back to Zentára. Hoping no one was offended that they tried the art of language to call attention to how important it is to preserve the riverside town of special architectural values, because - as drafted - Senta with commonly want to work for the fact that these buildings are maintained and as soon as possible to get a new life.
