Александър Иванов Alexander Ivanov Отражения Reflections Reflektionen Александър Иванов Alexander Ivanov Отражения Reflections Reflektionen Александър Иванов Alexander Ivanov „Светът около нас е отражение на душите ни.” Станислав Стратиев Все още не мога да разбера защо няколко души се разплакаха, докато гледаха мои фотографии на красива българска природа. Може би защото снимките са отражения на заобикалящия ни свят такъв, какъвто е – красив и противоречив. Всички ние живеем с раздвоена душа в един раздвоен свят. Едната ни половина е потопена в хаоса на ежедневието, тя в повечето случаи е неуверена и объркана от неспособността ни да се впишем адекватно в обществото и да следваме бързопроменящия се свят. Другата все още живее с идеализма и първите миризми от детството, където светът е прекрасен, а щастието – вечно и първично наше състояние. И когато на фотографиите видим сред каква прекрасна природа живеем, и изведнъж осъзнаем колко хармоничен и красив е животът сам по себе си, това изважда наяве вътрешния ни конфликт. Може ли да има свят без конфликти? Едва ли! Можем ли да съчетаем интересите на едно стремително развиващо се консуматорско общество с интересите на природата, която ни заобикаля и всъщност ни дава живот? Отговорът също е – едва ли! Идеята на тази изложба е да провокира първо чувствата, после мисълта и ако това доведе до някакво, макар и минимално действие, това е началото. С тези снимки искам да извикам на себе си, а може би ще ме чуе и още някой: „Човече, поспри се за миг, погледни в душата си и направи така, че светът около теб да стане такъв, какъвто мечтаеш да бъде. Това зависи и от теб.” Александър Иванов “The world around us is a reflection of our souls.” „Die Welt um uns spiegelt unsere Seelen wider.“ Stanislav Stratiev Stanislav Stratiev I still cannot understand why several people broke into tears upon seeing my photographs of Ich verstehe es immer noch nicht, warum einige Leute weinten, als sie sich meine Fotos von der beautiful Bulgarian nature. Maybe because the photos are reflections of the world around us, the schönen bulgarischen Natur angeschaut haben. Vielleicht weil die Fotos unsere Umwelt widerspiegeln, way it is – beautiful and contradictory. We all live with a divided soul in a divided world.

With these photos I want to shout at myself, and maybe there will be someone else to hear me, Diese Ausstellung hat es zum Ziel zunächst Gefühle zu provozieren, dann Gedanken, und wenn too: ‘Man, stop for a moment, look into your soul, and do what is needed to make the world around dies zu einer, wenn auch minimalen, Tätigkeit führen würde, so wäre dies der Anfang. become the world of your dreams. It depends on you.’ Mit diesen Fotos will ich zu mir rufen, vielleicht hört mich jemand: „Du, halte für einen Augenblick inne, schaue in deine Seele und verwandele die Welt so, wie du sie sehen willst.

Този величествен орех в местността „Алевиц” в землището на село Търничени нямаше никакъв шанс срещу One Life хората. Отпътува за Италия във вид на трупи в началото на 2000 година. И не само той.

В южните склонове на Стара планина на фронт 5 км. и северните склонове на Средна гора до язовир Копринка на фронт 3 км. Горя Forest основно борова гора, но покрай нея и всичко наоколо. При това имаше и вятър. След тридневна борба и с помощта на пожарни от Wald други градове огънят беше овладян, но времето още не е заличило следите. Според разследванията пожарите възникват случайно. Смесената гора в района на Рилския манастир есенно време ме изумява.

Планета, на която отсъстват разумни форми на живот. Contrasts Омайната зеленина и прохлада на Велека успокоява очите и душата и ни предразполага да мечтаем за красиви, човешки неща. Kontraste 12 13 Открит рудник с ТЕЦ „Марица Изток 2”, 2007 година Село Пресока, община Златоград, Източни Родопи 2004 година Земя Почти всички промишлени гиганти, строени през 70-те и 80-те години на миналия век, бяха изградени върху плодородна земеделска земя. Площта на лигнитните въглища в басейн „Марица Изток” е 240 кв. км под дебел тракийски чернозем, който ще загубим Land безвъзвратно. Може да се окаже, че енергията, произведена в тец-овете от района, въобще не е евтина за страната. Erde Родопите са пример как една нива, отвоювана от планината с много труд и постоянство, може да изхрани едно семейство. При това става дума за бедни горски почви, които не дават високи добиви. 14 15 Землището на село Долно Сахране, община Павел баня, 2008 година Щъркели Повечето диви животни и птици бягат от човека, поради нашето агресивно поведение спрямо тях.

  • The Interview with Dimitar Popov
    „Many politicians in Bulgaria still act upon the maxim: The more concrete tourist blocks, the better!“ Interview with Dimitar Popov of Green Balkans about the difficult nature conservation work in Bulgaria. Dimitar Popov has studied economics in Plovdiv. Since 7 years, he works for Green Balkans, one of the largest nature conservation organisations on the Balkans with over 4.000 members. Within the scope of the project “NatuRegio – trai- nees for nature”, which is co-financed by EuroNatur, this year he has spent several weeks in two different German nature conservation institutions: in spring, in the stork village of Rühstädt in the biosphere reservation embedded in the fluvial landscape of the river Elbe in Brandenburg, and in summer, five weeks in the main office of EuroNatur in Radolfzell. There, they talked about his work, the situation of nature conservation in Bulgaria and his experience in Germany.

The four countries around the Black Sea- Bulgaria, Turkey, Georgia and Armenia, are a paradise for mountain biking with innumerable cycle routes on gravel roads, in the mountains and along rough cart roads. Their dramatic natural landscapes offer challenging and rewarding slick rock trails, lush green single track, ruins of ancient civilizations, canyons and secret paths to explore. The mountain biking in and around Black Sea is some of the best trail riding in Europe. There are no restrictions on using bikes on the routes. Most of the routes are suitable for energetic mountain biking. Mountain biking is best between May and June or September and October. Itinerary 2- The “Black Sea Discovery”

  • Experiences on the Implementation of Natura 2000 in Central Europa
    www.nimfea.hu ◆ www.milvus.ro ◆ www.greenbalkans.org Foreword Europe’s biodiversity is in serious decline. At the species level, 42% of Europe’s native mammals, 43% of birds and 45% of reptiles are threatened with extinction extinction. That’s why we need Natura 2000, which – at least in principle - is a brave and encouraging policy to protect nature, to save Europe’s most vulnerable habitats and species for the future. Today there are more than 25,000 NATURA 2000 sites across the EU. There are national parks and protected nature areas in other countries as well, but NATURA 2000 is the only systematic and scientifically planned nature protection policy on a continent level, throughout almost the whole Europe. (Candidate countries and neighboring policy partners are also encouraged to participate it.) NATURA 2000 is not only about the pure nature, its sites very often include towns, villages, farms and businesses and the aim is to protect „living landscapes”. The EU laws specifically provide for businesses and local authorities to work together to find ways to protect biologically unique sites in ways that are both good for the environment and for development, in the spirit of the sustainable development. Farming, fishing, forestry and hunting can all continue. Even major development projects can be carried out as long as they do not destroy the ecological value of the site. When the EU talks about protecting biodiversity, we do not mean the conservation of one or two species. As Environmental Commissioner Dimas pointed out, “our real concern is with ensuring that our natural ecosystems continue to provide us with food, timber, clean water, flood protection, nutrient re-cycling, medicines, recreation and the many other goods and services that we currently receive free.” However in practice the sources for NATURA are limited, many times they are misused for simple agrarian subsidies.

  • Photographic Workshops with Young in Multiethnic Regions
    Editorial The topic – Art and Community Development – of the current issue of the Journal on Community Development in CEE seems to be quite controversial. It is not only because “The arts are often considered to be at the periphery of the community development process...” as Alan Kay mentioned in 2000. As Teodor Mladenov discovers in his article here (“Community Development and Art: Welcoming the other within”) there are a whole set of binary oppositions which build walls between “community development” and “art” – ethics vs. aesthetics; rational vs. emotional; public vs. private, etc. But it is even more complicated. In Eastern Europe, as Svetla Kazalarska points out in her article (“Community-based arts in South-Eastern Europe: A double oxymoron?”), the concept of “community development” itself is more or less “imported” from the USA and Western Europe (mostly United Kingdom). And at the same time, “the arts” in the post-communist societies are considered in a narrowed context with a focus on “high arts” and with less emphasis on amateur or community arts. Finally, at the level of community development practitioners one could easily feel the ill concealed undervaluation of the arts and culture. There are different reasons for that but one is obvious – there are only few organizations in Central and Eastern Europe which actively recognize the arts and culture not only as an instrument but also as a vital part of the community development processes. In this context, when I was starting the real variety of viewpoints and theoretical/ preparation of the current issue of the methodological considerations. Journal on Community Development in CEE few months ago, I decide to defi ne Some of the articles – as for example three main aims: the already mentioned texts of Svetla Kazalarska and Teodor Mladenov – are First, to present a variety of practices and more theoretical, or more precisely – examples of using the arts as a tool for “framework oriented”.

    Leeds Student Law and Criminal Justice Review March 2021 Volume 1 www.essl.leeds.ac.uk/homepage/141/leeds_student_law_and_criminal_justice_review THE EDITORIAL BOARD 2020 - 2021 Managing Editor Maariyah Islam Assistant Managing Editors Kisby Dickinson & Clare James Editors Ananya Banerjee Atif Bostan Amy Gainford Natasha Gooden Ibukunoluwa Iyiola-Omisore Peter Ochieng Tu Tran FOREWORD I am delighted to be asked to write the Introduction to the first edition of the Leeds Student Law and Criminal Justice Review. The School of Law at the University of Leeds is proud to be home to this new journal that showcases the outstanding work of our final year undergraduates. All of the articles originated as excellent final year dissertations, revised in the light of feedback from an editorial board made up of postgraduate research students. The final year dissertation is the culmination of a research based undergraduate degree that actively develops students’ independent research skills. The authors of these articles devised their own research questions, delving deep into a subject that they had become interested in in the course of their degree, benefitting from one to one supervision by a faculty expert in the field. The result, as this journal demonstrates, is a rich breadth of cutting edge research questions and diversity of methodological approaches that build on and speak to the strengths of three of the School’s Research Centres in Business Law and Practice, Criminal Justice Studies and Law and Social Justice. Busuioc’s excellent paper addresses the important and topical question of the extent to which the introduction of blockchain in the democratic processes of the European Union can improve the quality of democracy.
