Abstract and Keywords Set within the context under which ethnic-Turks suffered seriously amidst rising communism in post World War II Eastern Europe, this thesis examines the socio- political-cultural circumstances surrounding the life and sporting career of Olympic weightlifter Naim Suleymanoglu, a Bulgarian-born Muslim of Turkish descent. This thesis examines several phases of Suleymanoglu’s life, much of which was devoted to aiding and abetting a mass exodus of Muslim ethnic-Turkish community members from Bulgaria to Turkey, the pursuit of Olympic achievement, and service to the enhancement of the sport of weightlifting in Turkey. By utilizing sports platforms and his remarkable success in weightlifting, widely reported by world media, Suleymanoglu’s life, in the end, translated to a new dimension surrounding the identification of Turkey in the sporting world, one in which weightlifting rivalled time-honoured wrestling as Turkey’s national sport.

Temenoujka Bandrova University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy / Bulgarian Cartographic Association; 1, Chr. Smirnenski Blvd. 1046 Sofia, Bulgaria; e-mail: [email protected]; Abstract Many of the mountains in Bulgaria are affected by avalanches each year. Avalanches are typical of any mountain range that accumulates a large enough snow cover. In the mountainous terrain, avalanches are among the most serious hazards to the life of tourists and mountaineers. They have destructive capacity, due to their potential to carry a huge mass of snow over long distances. This paper is focused on cartographic visualization of avalanche areas in Pirin National Park. There are more than 50 marble and granite peaks within the park with a height of more than 2500 m. Some of the slopes in the park are at avalanche danger. The paper presents 2D and 3D cartographic visualization of avalanche slopes based on analysis of the main factors of avalanche formation mainly attaching importance to terrain factors: slope steepness, slope aspect, height. Keywords: Snow Avalanches, Cartographic Modeling, Visualization, Thematic Mapping INTRODUCTION Snow avalanche is the major natural hazard in Europe's mountain during the winter (Javier, 2003).

  • Truth in Sports History
    PART I – HISTORY AND CULTURAL ASPECTS OF SPORT Studies in Physical Culture and Tourism Vol. 19, No. 4, 2012, 169-173 ISSN 0867-1079 Copyright © 2012 Akademia Wychowania Fizycznego w Poznaniu Copyright © 2012 Cornetis Truth in sports history Wojciech Lipoński Adam Mickiewicz University & University School of Physical Education, Department of Olympism and Sports Ethnology, Poznań, Poland ABSTRACT The use of sport for media, marketing and political propaganda purposes led to inevitable distortions in sports history. The paper focuses on definition of truth and then on specific examples of propagan- dist abuses in totalitarian states, e.g. deleting the names of Jewish athletes from sports statistics in Nazi Germany or of politically troublesome athletes in the USSR and its satellite communist states before 1989. Another distortion in sport history can be found in modern “official” publications sponsored by various institutions, e.g. sports organizations and associations. Such sponsors choose not to publish some facts that may be inconvenient to them. Also, the media contribute to the false image of sport, e.g. by pandering to mass audiences, creating an artificial atmosphere of enormous sporting battles and tournaments to attract viewers, and presenting distorted facts from the careers of elite athletes. KEY WORDS truth, distortions of truth, political propaganda, media, marketing. What is the concept of truth? It seems to be one of the If certain ancient epochs suffer frequently from lack of most complicated philosophical, not just historical issues. sources, modern times have “mountains of facts” at their According to the classical Aristotelian definition truth is “con- disposal.

In summer we hike through cool ancient forests, we balance on challenging rocky arêtes, we fly, we surf, we dive and enjoy plunging in water. In autumn we are still high up in the mountains, hiking and trekking, and we continue camping. Winter rewards us with great skiing, snowboarding and mountaineering experiences. bulgariatravel.org ADVENTURE TRAVEL bulgariatravel.org 360mag.bg hiking-bulgaria.com stenata.com 2021 ADVENTURE TRAVEL IN BULGARIA - AIR - CONTENTS 74 PARA-/ HANG GLIDING Sopot 75 SKYDIVING Montana - HIGHLIGHTS - 76 BUNGEE 6 FROM SEA TO SUMMIT 77 HOT-AIR BALLOONS FOUR SEASONS 8 - MOUNTAINS - - CYCLING - 32 NATURAL DIVERSITY 58 MARKED/TRACKED ROAD AND MOUNTAIN BIKE ROUTES 34 MOUNTAIN LODGES AND SPORTS CENTRES Rudopia Belmeken High-Altitude Sports Complex Trans- Rhodope Bike Trail Malyovitsa
