Q: Is there a generally accepted or best practice for creating a prj file to define a local (or ground) coordinate system? Background: Due to distortions inherent in projected coordinate systems, surveyors will often create "Local" or "Ground" coordinate systems for projects so that grid (state plane or utm CS) distances and ground distances will match more closely.  For example, when building a bridge the error in a state plane coordinate system exceeds the necessary tolerance for lengths of steel in the bridge.
To create one of these local systems, Surveyors will typically start with a well defined coordinate system and apply a scale factor which will make the grid and actual on-the-ground measurements match at that location.  They might also want a specific control point on site to have an arbitrary coordinate like 10000, 10000 and will add a false easting and northing to accomplish that.
Problem: I would like to create a .prj file which will allow me to reproject any spatial data I have to the local coordinate system, and I would like my process to be repeatable. My surveyor has provided me with the state plane coordinate system they started with, as well as their false easting and northing and scale factor.  I also have a point with coordinates in both systems so that I can use a 'Project' tool and test that I have defined my cs correctly.
Additional details: I'd like to be able to hand a document containing instructions to a less experienced GIS technician and have them follow the instructions and successfully create this prj file in the future.  I am willing to create this document myself, but would also like to follow industry best practice if that exists.

A: You can do that with a Affine Derived from Projected CRS WKT string. It is like defining an affine 2D conversion method to a well known projected system.

We have a BASEPROJCRS node (it can be copied from any projected well known CRS WKT definition), and a DERIVINGCONVERSION node with an "Affine parametric transformation" conversion method (https://epsg.org/coord-operation-method_9624/Affine-parametric-transformation.html).
A0 and B0 parameters are translations. A1, A2, B1 and B2 parameters are scaled rotations.
If A1 = B2 != 1 and A2 = B1 = 0, then A1 (and B2) is the uniform scale factor.
The WKT expresses the transformation required to go from the projected to the "Local" system, and can be assigned to a dataset defined in the "Local" system to be able to operate it with GDAL.
QGIS can read the WKT definition and project it on the fly, but I'm not sure if you can export the data with a reprojection from QGIS.
OGR tools can reproject from and to this WKT definition.

A: If I understand correctly your question, you want to "translate" a scaled geometry (es. a polygon or polyline) referenced to one point (polar coordinate), to a CS system already existing ? (es. state plane).
So you have to "scale" your geometry not project..
The .prj file only contain the definition of the coordinate system what you want implement is a "transformation"

Have Sri Lankans been told about the benefits of Internet?
The word Internet has become a very familiar word to many people living in this country. Despite its popularity, majority of Sri Lankan households remained isolated from Information super-highway for the past ten years.
Internet education has managed to change the early education by creating a virtual classroom environment.
Lack of computer usage, highly priced Internet services, coverage and unawareness are cited as the main responsible factors for not having widespread Internet penetration in the country. However when existing users are taken into consideration, it is doubtful whether they have identified the importance of Internet properly even though they use Internet frequently.
More than a decade has passed since the introduction of Internet; but no significant contribution has been made to our national economy and to the growth of GDP. This would be a very disappointing situation.
Logically the success of the Internet in any society is reflected by a particular country's GDP index. Precisely, this colossal amount of contribution that it directly offers to the GDP would have been the reason for other countries to adopt Internet technology in the process of developing their economies.
While other countries reap the harvest, we are still searching for fields to plough. Lengthy projects have consumed valuable time and that would be a huge loss for the country. Therefore, the time has come to act swiftly to bring the benefit of Internet to the country.
However, to understand the real situation, it is wise to identify the factors that have actually dampened the Internet penetration in the country. If we consider the growth, Sri Lankan Internet module looks more like a self motivated one than a well established widespread module.
To be more precise, people will subscribe to the Internet after having identified the benefits of internet by themselves. The majority of these users have obtained Internet services to meet the demands of their existing requirements and not in the search of new opportunities and services.
This demand of Internet could be categorised as 'application oriented Internet demand' by analysing the usage behavior of the users. In many occasions their use of Internet is limited to primary objectives and would rarely be used for other activities. This may be due to the unawareness of many other tasks that he or she could do over the Internet very easily.
As a result of this self motivated Internet phenomenon, the intended benefits of the Internet that the country would require for its development has been wasted. This is exactly what has happened in Sri Lanka for the past twelve years while other countries achieved their Internet based targets timely.
To prevent retardation and achieve the maximum out of Internet, other countries have taken a number of strategic measures to guide and educate citizens about the benefits of Internet in their respective countries.
Having identified the role that a Government could play, the Governments initially put many citizens services over the Internet for the access of the public. Actually this was done mainly to promote the use of Internet in the society and to increase the efficiency of the Government services.
This action of the authorities that displays example through leadership is the important factor that any country would need in the process of promoting Internet in respective societies.
The semi-compulsory nature of the Government services which is provided over the Internet could attract more people to use Internet for transactions and services effectively.
The semi-compulsory nature consisted of - best option, time save, cost effectiveness and user friendly characteristics would tempt citizens to use Government services voluntarily. The other phenomenon is due to the lack of knowledge among Internet users; many use Internet for browsing Internet and downloading e-mails.
These are regarded as basic applications of Internet that wouldn't require high speed Internet service at users end. Without knowing its capabilities, these users remain satisfied thinking that these are the best that they could do over the Internet. Based on that, the speed and the price would never become a concern as they only use Internet for limited applications.
To overcome this resource wastage and to assure the maximum benefit out of Internet, the public must be educated about the advantages and the things that they could do over the Internet to increase the productivity of any individual task that they may under take. Due to the absence of a national broadband awareness initiative, high speed broadband Internet weren't properly recognised in the mainstream of the country.
Worsening this situation further, the other factors too have created an unhealthily market situation in the country.
As we know, e-mail is a well known communication facility that comes with the Internet. When these programs become popular, people started to use e-mail for multipurpose tasks in addition to transfer of text messages. Photos, video clips, documents and even software programs were often attached and sent across to other parties over the Internet easily.
The camera mobile phones and other similar hand-held multimedia devices such as iPods and digital cameras have become increasingly popular among people than ever before.
In this context, when transferring captured and stored content in these devices, IP platform is identified as the fastest and most cost effective medium of doing so.
Therefore the growing demand of emerging multimedia applications pushes the user right into the Internet platform by further increasing the demand of Internet even in simplest applications available today.
However, users find it difficult in unlocking some of these features due to restrictions imposed by operators. Surprisingly some operators are still continuing 10MB mail box quota which was allocated in 1998 to this very date while others in the world provide 10GB (10,240MB) to their customers.
As we know, due to user friendly characteristics, e-mail is regarded as the easiest method of transferring data between computers. But a local provider doesn't allow users to transfer his or her pictures, video clips and other multimedia content, by implementing limitations on email storage. Free e-mail services such as hotmail, yahoo and gmail would come as alternates.
The next available option is the third party software-based file sharing technique but it requires some knowledge at user end.
When broadband Internet is concerned, price and the speed cannot be simply ignored. While prices kept away the users from acquiring Internet, speed has managed to discourage the people from using the Internet. The price comparison shows that Sri Lankans pay more money for less speed monthly, for their Internet connection than in India. For Sri Lankan rupees of 3,200 one could get 8Mbps broadband service in India even with a phone connection.
So their Internet speed is 1,500 percent higher than in Sri Lanka and this allows them to surf the Internet quickly to complete their tasks than we do. Apart from lower prices and higher speed, Internet users in other countries are entitled to get more features as well. Subscribers of broadband Internet will be provided with free International calls during off peak time in addition to unlimited e-mail space and free web space in many instances.
If we provide high speed Internet as other countries do, many students in the country would be able to do their studies over the Internet regardless of the location of the university or the classroom. But the reality is while children in other countries use Internet for educational purposes our children are desperately looking at it simply because they cannot afford to have Internet service at home. In this context, primary and secondary education is highly affected.
Both distant education and e-learning have faced numerous challenges in the phase of providing services due to deprived quality of broadband services. Among many affected, medical students were highly affected due to the poor quality of broadband services which lies beyond their control. The truth is, access to documentary educational video materials have become a luxury for Sri Lankan students.
Now it has been made clear that the country would require a unique plan - backed by the Government in the future - to ensure wide spread of Internet growth across the country. Among many reasons, public unawareness and unsuccessful strategic plans in the past were cited as the factors responsible for the creation of underdeveloped Internet market in the country. Aggressive yet specially developed strategy could be used in this regard to achieve mass scale benefits to people and the country.
Nevertheless public awareness initiative would not become a fruitful gesture unless we provide 'knowledge through experience'mechanism at the initial phase. This allows public to experience the Internet practically to identify its advantages by themselves. Therefore, putting services online alone would do no good unless we motivate people to use Internet more frequently in their daily tasks.
The truth is, people will never consider using Internet unless they have been convinced about its benefits. Even convinced, it does not assure anything in return to the country unless we provide fast affordable service.


The perfect present for someone who has everything!!!: A Powerboat Taster Day and experience.
Enjoy the thrill of taking command of a powerboat. Learn about safety and navigation. Leave and enter a harbour and experience the joy of being at sea.
The Powerboat Taster and Experience Day is run subject to weather conditions.
This one day session is an introduction to boating techniques for everyday boat handling and the use of safety equipment.
This session is aimed at anyone who wish to start on the RYA Powerboat scheme or who just want to experience the thrill of helming a powerboat.
Those considering buying a powerboat can get a good idea about boating by attending, and partners of boaters can use the course to acquire the skills necessary to handle a craft in an emergency if their partner is incapacitated.
Attending a taster session is NOT a prerequisite before attending Powerboat Level 1 training, it's a fun day on the water.
The shore based element of the day will cover personal buoyancy, insurance, loading and how this effects handling and performance, balance, crew members, awareness of other water users, collision regulations (IRPCS), local bylaws and accepting a tow and rope work.
No prior boating experience or powerboat training is necessary.

PRE-ORDER TOKYO GHOUL OVA LTD COLLECTOR'S ED. HERE
WHAT'S GOING TO BE INSIDE? HOW'S IT GOING TO LOOK?
Front side of rigid case
Reverse side of Rigid case
UPDATE – 23RD AUGUST 2017
And here's what the entire set will look like (see image below)
To follow in similar style to our Ltd Collector's Edition Blu-ray releases of Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo Ghoul √A, this release will have a similar appearance to those. It will come in a rigid case and inside that will be a digipack to hold the two discs, 1 x Blu-ray and 1 x DVD. Also included are 6 Art Cards.
On the discs themselves the content is identical. It includes both the OVA episodes of Tokyo Ghoul "Jack" and "Pinto".
F.A.Q. ABOUT THIS RELEASE
— Why is this not being released on the same day as the standard edition version of the OVAs?
Simply put, production lead times meant this wouldn't be ready in time to coincide with the standard edition release. (This partly why we're only announcing this now.) But should be noted that although this product exclusive to our AllTheAnime.com web shop as soon as the stock is ready to be shipped from our warehouse ASAP in September.
— How many units of this are there?
There are 1000 units total. Worth noting that our original Tokyo Ghoul season 1 Ltd Collector's Edition Blu-ray release sold out nationwide prior to it even being available!
— Where else can I buy this?
The only place you can buy this is through our AllTheAnime.com web shop (and any events we exhibit at, such as MCM Comic Con.)
— Why is there no English dub for these OVA episodes?
Because there isn't one. No English language dub has been produced so this release is in Japanese with English subtitles only.
— What's on the art cards?
The overall design is pretty much finalised (at time of writing) so you'll be able to see what the entire release will look like very soon!
— Are the standard edition Blu-ray and DVD exclusive to AllTheAnime.com as well?
No! You can buy those wherever DVD and Blu-rays are sold including Amazon UK, Base.com, Zavvi, Anime-On-Line and (in case you haven't figured it out by now 😉 ) our AllTheAnime.com web shop.
And that concludes this post! We hope you're looking forward to adding this to your collection.
Signing out~!

Molten is the world's leading ball manufacturer and an internationally recognised brand. It is reknowned world-wide for the exceptional quality of its ball products and its advanced technical know-how. This is reflected in the many international competitions and tournaments in which Molten balls are the official game balls. For example, the Molten G-Series basketball is the official game ball for all FIBA international event's worldwide up to 2016; while many of the Molten balls, from footballs to volleyballs, carry international federation approval including that of FIFA, FIBA, FIVA and IHF.
* The above illustrates the construction of VANTAGGIO ACENTEC; however, other Molten balls also incorporate ACENTEC.
Perfectly-balanced ball weight. A ball not affected by the weather. The ball is perfectly balanced, ensuring maximum accuracy.
Even in the rain, superb water resistance enables players to control the ball as if in normal weather.
The specially-coated ball surface (patent pending) minimizes print scrape-off and keeps the ball looking new. Each panel has been printed with the "under-glass" method, renewing the traditional black and white soccer ball design image.
A perfect spherical shape, an accurate trajectory, outstanding durability and soft feel; satisfying all the demands placed on a top-quality ball requires precise manufacturing, advanced technology and superior craftsmanship. Molten carry out strict quality controls at each stage of the manufacturing process. A ball needs to pass every one of these inspections before it is adorn it with the Molten logo, a symbol of uncompromising quality.
1. A strengthening fabric, specially developed for Molten hand-sewn footballs, is coated with glue.
2. Next, the synthetic leather and the strengthening fabric are glued together tightly.
3. The panels are cut out using a cutting machine.
4. The quality of each of the leather panels is checked. A hole for the valve opening is cut into one of the panels.
5. The Molten logo and text is printed onto the surface using a special ink.
6. The panels are weighed to determine the weight of the bladder. Super-strength glue prevents the valve opening and the panels from coming apart.
7. The panels are sewn together by hand. Even the most highly skilled worker needs about three hours to finish a single ball.
8. The finished ball is weighed.
9. The ball's circumference is carefully measured.
10. The overall look and feel is checked according to strict criteria.
11. Only balls that pass all of these tests are allowed to leave the factory.
Molten hand-sewn footballs have better durability and bounce and softer feel, thanks to the specially constructed composite leather and backing materials.
Composite material specially designed for Molten Footballs. High-quality material with a soft feel as well as strength and durability.
Special cloth made from polyester and cotton with natural rubber latex. The ratio of these elements is determined to ensure optimum durability, feel, rebound height, and other criteria.
Special thread made of high-tensile polyester to keep the seam tight.
To minimize air leakage, the bladders inside Molten sports balls use a special compound rubber made from butyl, with far better air permeability than natural rubber. Balls intended for use on grass use latex bladders.
In 1817 Benjamin Crook opened his tannery in Huddersfield in England, by 1888 when the world's first football competition 'The Football League' was founded, the factory was already stitching footballs.
In 1949 Benjamin Crooks business became Mitre Footballs and started producing footballs and rugby balls for clubs all over the world. Ten years later the Mitre brand was expanded into cricket, soft leather and bags, sports footwear followed a year later.
1964 sees Denis Law appointed as Mitre's first official spokesperson, the Manchester United striker being on of football's first superstars. During 1966 Mitre became the English Football Associations first choice, meaning the FA Cup is played with a Mitre Ball for the next 40 years.
Muhammad Ali wore Mitre in his 59th professional figh against Leon Spinks in New Orleans in 1977, also in this year Stuart Pearce of Manchester City and England wore Mitre Football Boots.
In 1986 the Football League adopted the leather 'Mitre Delta 1000′ as their official ball, closely followed by the Football Association and the Scottish Football League, meaning all UK Cup, League and international fixtures played at home are played using a Mitre Ball. This has never been repeated since.
The following year, in 1987, Mitre became the official ball supplier to the first Rugby World Cup, jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
When the newly formed FA Premier League appeared in 1992, Mitre became the official ball supplier, introducing the Ultimax – the first Professional League synthetic football, and leather balls became a thing of the past.
In 2004 football star and UNICEF ambassador George Weah teams up with Mitre to donate 5,000 footballs to underpriviledged children in Liberia and 5,000 football to Iraqi children.
Mitre then goes on to launch the revolutionary Revolve football to the Football League in 2007, where each club plays with its own club coloured and badged ball – the first time this has ever happened. Mitre also re-enters the apparel market with kit deals with Ipswich Town and Huddersfield Town FC.
Mitre strives to be the people's sports brand, built on twin foundations of heritage and technical expertise. With world class products combining the highest technical performance with a sense of history to bring the Mitre brand alive for the current generation and those to follow.
Overall, Mitre values the team. And they realise it takes two teams to make a game. So although you passionately want to win, it should never be at all costs. That would be letting the side down, both sides in fact.
It's this quality that gives people the confidence to play.

Een siësta is een middagdutje, vaak na de lunch als de zon haar hoogste positie bereikt heeft. Dit is een veel voorkomende traditie in warme landen, die heden ten dage voornamelijk nog in Spanje in ere wordt gehouden; het woord wordt dan ook voornamelijk met dat land in verband gebracht. Door Europese regelgeving is het algemeen houden van de siësta in Spanje onder druk komen te staan. Veel bedrijven willen bovendien niet van 's ochtends vroeg tot 's avonds 21 uur open blijven, met een siësta als onderbreking. In de zomermaanden blijven in Spanje veel winkels dicht tijdens de siësta (doorgaans tussen 14 en 17 uur). Grotere supermarkten en horeca-gelegenheden blijven vaak wel open gedurende de heetste uren van de dag.

Rop Zoutberg stelt in zijn weblog bij het NOS-journaal daarentegen dat de siësta een typisch Spaans gebruik is en in de naburige landen zoals Portugal onbekend is. Bovendien was het, getuige de kranten uit einde van de 19e eeuw, in die tijd nog een onbekend verschijnsel. De siësta zou pas in de loop van de jaren twintig ontstaan zijn doordat hogere ambtenaren hun middagpauze begonnen te verlengen. Dit werd nagevolgd door hun ondergeschikten, waardoor er een dagritme ontstond waarbij gewerkt werd tussen negen uur tot middagpauze, en pas vanaf vijf uur tot een uur of zeven of acht weer werd doorgewerkt.

Onderzoek heeft aangetoond dat het houden van een siësta gezond is. Zoutberg stelt daarentegen dat de siësta slecht is voor het gezinsleven omdat de middag wordt gebruikt voor het heen en weer rijden naar huis en een korte slaap en van de avond weinig meer overblijft. Er worden dan ook pogingen ondernomen om de Spaanse werktijden te rationaliseren, wat echter op tegenstand stuit.

Tropen
In tropische landen, dus buiten Europa, komt de gewoonte om het heetste deel van de dag rustend of slapend door te brengen nog veel voor.

Naamgeving
Het woord siësta is afgeleid van het Latijnse sexta [hora] ("het zesde [uur]"): de Romeinen telden hun uren vanaf zonsopkomst. Het zesde uur was voor hen daardoor het middaguur.

THANK YOU PETA, YOU HAVE PROVIDED SO MUCH IN YOUR CONNECTION WITH THE CIRCLE. IT OFFERED UP SO MUCH TO ME, ALL WITHIN PERFECT TIMING.


UCCA, the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, has become a catalyst for contemporary culture in China. It is a not-for-profit located in the middle of the country's most important art district and focuses on artists both Chinese and international, emerging and established. It presents a compelling mix of exhibitions to an annual public audience of more than half a million visitors. It supplements this with a wide complement of supporting programs—roughly 350 a year—which offer Beijing's public a window into contemporary art and culture globally.
Founded by Baron Guy Ullens and his wife Myriam in 2007, this vast space has been directed since 2011 by Philip Tinari, an influential and dynamic curator active in the Chinese art scene for nearly 15 years. He is American, born in Philadelphia in 1979. He came to China out of an intellectual fascination with the language, and with an abundance of ideas about globalization and culture. From a young age, he researched and wrote about contemporary art in China. For him, it was absolutely fascinating to watch the scene develop and transform over the years.
He said: "I have a lot of respect for certain attitudes that are widespread in China—the idea that any problem can be solved with a lot of hard work, and the ambition and daring to undertake massive projects on short deadlines." However, he added: "I worry that China is becoming more and more restrictive on a cultural level and yet I'm also excited to see how ideas from China are beginning to find their way into the global conversation." UCCA, in many ways, is the product of a special moment in Beijing: just before the Olympics, when the city and the country were opening up to international culture. "Unfortunately it feels as if that kind of openness no longer exists, and yet we are still able to operate." China is definitely in a moment of transition.
Q. You promote contemporary Chinese art in China through established artists, what about young Chinese names?
Young Chinese artists have always been at the core of our concerns. In 2013 we mounted the exhibition "ON | OFF: China's Young Artists in Concept and Practice," which set a global agenda in looking at a generation of Chinese artists born in the early years of the Opening and Reform in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Later this year, we will launch the exhibition series New Directions, which will focus on individual positions from this younger generation.
Q. How do Chinese artists manage to make a name for themselves when so many are technically talented? Is it their conceptual approaches that make the difference?
There is certainly a high level of technical skill among artists in China, owing mainly to the fact that the education system, which teaches painting, sculpture and printmaking, remains firmly in place in the academies. It is more difficult to teach concept than technique, and so only a small number of artists awaken to the more intellectual dimensions of artistic practice. Of course, in China a small number is still quite large, and these are the artists who enter the contemporary scene. Thankfully today there are a number of talented critics and good media outlets, which can discuss these works.
Q. What is your view on Korean artists and the country's situation within the global art market? Have you shown anyKorean artists at UCCA?
Korea is a fascinating context for contemporary art, structured by a different set of dynamics than China. Later this year we will present an exhibition with Haegue Yang, her first in China. I think Korea has benefitted from a cohort of ambitious and cosmopolitan collectors, and from a slate of very intelligent galleries, which are able to present Korean artists on the world stage. It is also interesting to see more historical movements from modern Korean art being reevaluated, such as the Dansaekhwa painters.
Q. Last year at the Armory Show's China Symposium, Adrian Cheng (founder and chair of the K11 Art Foundation)presented on the changes taking place in Hong Kong and artists' increasing self-confidence, but underlined nonetheless that they are still searching for an identity. Do you feel there is a big difference with artists in Beijing?
Hong Kong is a city of 7 million attached to a nation of 1.4 billion, of which Beijing is the capital. It's different to make comparisons between the two. Of course in the last year, Hong Kong has undergone a major political awakening, which will surely have an impact on the work of artists there in the coming years.
Q. The symposium also discussed government control of culture. Is Chinese art essentially a reactive political art? Does the Chinese government receive any benefits from Chinese artist sales?
All art is connected on one level or another to the society from which it comes. In China there is a legacy of art as a vehicle of political dissent, which began in the late 1970s and continued through the 1990s. These days this tendency is less obvious, although most artists do maintain some sense of criticality about the system in which they find themselves. As for the question of government involvement in the art market, beyond taxation of art works there is no direct connection. In fact, the appearance of an art market has actually provided a kind of political cover for contemporary art, because art can now be seen as just another economic sector as opposed to the cradle of rebellion.
Q. Where is European art's place in the Asian market?
I was just in Madrid for a few days with members of our Patrons Council and it was very interesting to watch them collect works by European and other global artists. I think that as Chinese collectors become more knowledgeable and cosmopolitan, they start looking beyond Chinese artists and a few big international art stars, and to works by artists based on their own sense of aesthetics. Just in our small group, there were purchases of works by BarthélémyToguo, Gabriel Kuri, Ignacio Uriarte, and TomásSaraceno. This openness and knowledge only continues to grow.
Q. What percentage of artists represented at UCCA international?
We try to keep our program about half Chinese and half international. Of course, international includes the whole world beyond China. Last year we did an exhibition of seven positions from artists based in Los Angeles. This year we will do a major exhibition with William Kentridge, who is South African but deeply informed by European culture. Later in the year we will do a trilogy of exhibitions by Asian artists—Ming Wong, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Haegue Yang—who come from Singapore, Thailand and Korea, respectively, but are now or have been based in New York and Berlin. We will also do a show with David Diao, a painter who was born in China in 1943 but has made his entire career in New York, with many exhibitions in Europe. So I think the essentialist distinctions of identity based on place of birth are less and less relevant to what we do.
Q. How would you compare the importance of biennials/triennials (such as Venice, Gwangju, Busan or Guangzhou) and international art fairs in today's art world?
The art fair has become a very powerful exhibition format in the past decade. Often art fairs are about more than the fair itself—they serve as focal points for entire art weeks in which the museums, galleries and collections of a particular city will open up, and the international crowd will descend to get a sense of the scene. I don't think it's possible to say that one fair is definitively the most important.
Biennials meanwhile have become more and more like museum shows. They remain important because they are non-commercial, and thus able to set curatorial agendas and consolidate new trends and reputations.
Q. This year, the Armory Show focused on MENAM (Middle East, Northern Africa and the Mediterranean). Does UCCA have relationships with artists or institutions from these art hubs like Algeria, Egypt, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon or Turkey?
I hope we can do more with these regions in the coming years. Right now at UCCA we have a show called "The World in 2015," which includes work by the Algerian-French artist Neïl Beloufa and the Kuwait/London/New York-based collective Gulf Cooperation Council, as well as a young Chechen artist Aslan Gaisumov. Our Patrons Council will travel together to Istanbul later this year, and I am looking forward to visiting Saudi for the first time as well. I'm excited to show more work from this part of the world.
Q. Hyundai Motors Company supports the arts through such partnerships with the Tate Modern and MMCA Seoul. In your opinion, what is the best way for commercial enterprises to engage in and encourage the growth of art?
There are basically two schools of thought here. The first is that corporate sponsorship is best when it comes as unrestricted donations, to be used by the museum for a particular exhibition it had already planned. This is of course extremely helpful, and often an enterprise can get a great deal out of this kind of sponsorship. The second is projects developed in collaboration between enterprises and institutions. This requires a high level of sophistication, coordination, and trust between the institutions and enterprises to develop projects that fit both parties' goals and are still relevant to the public and to art.
Increasingly, enterprises will commission artists for various projects with more and less direct connections to marketing and branding strategies. The success depends entirely on the artist and the brand—these collaborations can be beautiful—think of the film Yang Fudong made for Prada a few years ago—but they can also go badly wrong. I think these collaborations work best when the enterprises approach the artists as catalysts and creators, rather than as commercial actors.
Q. Can you tell us about some of your future projects?
The interviewer, Davina Marcario is working for French art magazine 『La Gazette Drouot』 and Belgian art magazine 『L'Eventail』. She studied art history at Université de Strasbourg(UMB) and got a degree at IEJ(Institut Européen de Journalisme-Paris 16) majoring in Journalism.
Philip Tinari is Director of the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing. Prior to joining UCCA in 2011, he was the founding editorial director of the bilingual, international art magazine LEAP, published by Modern Media. He previously served as the China advisor to Art Basel, was founding editor of Artforum's Chinese-language edition at artforum.com.cn, and lecturer at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. He has written and lectured extensively on contemporary art in China, and sits on advisory boards including the Guggenheim Asian Art Council and the Asia Society Hong Kong Center gallery committee. In 2002, he worked as curatorial assistant to the first Guangzhou Triennial. He holds a B.A. in Literature from Duke, where he curated the exhibition "Made in Asia?" and an M.A. in East Asian Studies from Harvard—he proceeded to research at Peking University as a Fulbright fellow.In March 2014, he curated the Focus: China section of the Armory Show in New York.


THURSDAY, Jan. 10, 2019 — The rate at which middle-aged American women die from overdoses involving opioids and other drugs nearly quadrupled between 1999 and 2017, new government data shows.
The steepest increase was actually seen among older women — those aged 55 to 64 — noted a team led by Karin Mack, of the CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control.
In fact, the average age of death from overdose crept up by about three years over the course of the study period. In 1999, the average age of a fatal OD in middle-aged women was 43.5 years, but by 2017 it had risen to 46.3 years, Mack's team reported.
One physician on the frontlines of the overdose crisis said multiple factors are contributing to these tragedies.
"We know that prescription opioids are still the main driver of the current opioid epidemic, but it's important to understand the sharp rise of fentanyl-laced heroin responsible for increased numbers of deaths," said Dr. Robert Glatter. He's an emergency physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
Fentanyl is an opioid that's thought to be 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine.
"Cheap, illicitly manufactured fentanyl from China and Southeast Asia is making its way onto the streets in the U.S.," Glatter explained.
He said that while men tend to have higher rates of drug abuse than women, women can be especially vulnerable.
The new CDC study relied on 1999-2017 data from the National Vital Statistics System.
The data revealed that for women aged 30 to 64, deaths linked to "synthetic opioids" — a class that includes fentanyl — rose about 17-fold during the study period. Steep increases were also seen for deaths involving heroin (a 10-fold rise), as well as those involving Valium, Xanax or other benzodiazepine drugs (a ninefold rise). Often, overdoses involved multiple drugs.
Why are women in middle age being hit especially hard by the opioid abuse crisis? Addiction specialist Dr. Harshal Kirane had some theories.
"Middle-aged women are often prevented from accessing care due to family responsibilities, child care considerations and financial disparities," said Kirane, who directs addiction services at Staten Island University Hospital in New York City.
"Moreover, certain mental health issues — such as anxiety and depression — tend to occur at higher rates in women, which create profound obstacles to engagement in care," he said.
All of this means that more outreach must be done to help women who are vulnerable to addiction.
Crucial to these efforts are boosting women's access to education about overdose, allowing them easy access to the overdose antidote naloxone, and widening the availability of medication-assisted treatments aimed at weaning people off addictive drugs, Kirane said.
The new report was published Jan. 11 in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
The American Academy of Family Physicians has more on opioid addiction.

Need legal help with a business law matter?
Business laws include all municipal, state, and federal laws that regulate businesses and commerce. Some industries, such as finance, face specific laws and regulations that apply to those in the field. Businesses of all types also must conform to many regulations that apply across the board, such as environmental regulations and advertising laws.
A business lawyer can help you address the myriad legal issues that arise when you are starting a new venture, operating an established company, or winding up or selling a business.
Business lawyers handle a broad spectrum of legal issues that confront companies. For new ventures, a business lawyer can help with business formation decisions, including selecting the proper business form, such a partnership, LLC or corporation, or addressing financial compliance issues when raising capital. In addition, business lawyers can offer advice when reviewing leases, purchase agreements, and other types of contracts. Other issues covered in this practice area include employee compensation and benefits, building relationships with independent contractors and other entities, and compliance with relevant advertising regulations.
While most business lawyers deal in transactional work (contracts and forms), some also litigate business disputes that arise from transactional work. Business litigation attorneys may handle issues such as breach of contract claims, consumer class action lawsuits, and wrongful termination claims.
Business judgment rule: a presumption that directors making a business decision, not involving self-interest, act on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that their actions are in the corporation's best interest.
Pierce the veil: A court no longer affords a shareholder of a corporation the protection of limited liability when the corporation has neglected corporate formalities and intermingled assets between the shareholder and the corporation.


The Bulgaria national football team (Bulgarian: Национален отбор по футбол на България) is an association football team fielded by the Bulgarian Football Union, a member association[clarification needed] of UEFA. The team's home ground is Vasil Levski in Sofia and Ivaylo Petev is national manager. Their best World Cup performance was in the 1994 World Cup in the United States, where they beat defending champions Germany to reach the semi-finals, losing to Italy. Although defeating strong top ranked teams in international friendlies throughout the years, the team's strength has diminished slowly, failing to qualify for any major tournament since 2004.
1.4.3 1996 Euro Cup: Group stage or quarter-final?
1.4.4 1998 World Cup: The last stand of the "Golden Team"
The Bulgarian national football team was formed in 1922. In 1923 The Bulgarian Football Union was formed and the team's first match was held in Vienna on 21 May 1924, with a 6–0 defeat to Austria.
Bulgaria was invited to the 1930 World Cup in Uruguay, but declined participation because the players could not take such an extended leave from work.
The Bulgarian side, at this time, could not progress in qualifying to any major tournaments from the time of 1930 to 1960. This period of time was the international wilderness for Bulgaria. They would end up on many occasions getting 2nd or 3rd in their qualifying group and proceeding to the play offs, but in the end not able to qualify. Bulgaria although, did defeat many great teams in international friendlies during those years. The only tournaments they seemed to qualify for were smaller tournaments, such as the Balkan Cup, which they have won four times. Finally, their time came, when they qualified for the World Cup for the second time, in Chile, 1962.
Bulgaria qualified for the World Cup for the first time in 1962 and followed that up with consecutive appearances in 1966, 1970 and 1974. The team, however, did not have much success and finished third in their group three out of the four times.
The team qualified for its first UEFA European Championship in 1968 and went on to win their group with wins over Norway (4-2), Sweden (3-0) and Portugal (1-0) before losing to eventual champion and host Italy in a two-legged quarterfinal. Bulgaria won the first leg 3-2, but lost the second by a 2-0 score to lose 4-3 on aggregate.
At the 1968 Summer Olympics, the team won the silver medal. They finished first in Group D by beating Thailand 7–0, Guatemala 2–1, and drawing 2–2 against Czechoslovakia. They advanced to the quarterfinals by beating Israel and the semifinals by beating host Mexico. In the final, the team was defeated by Hungary.
In 1976, the team won the Balkan Cup by beating Romania in the two-legged final 1–0 and 3–2.
Bulgaria finally would qualify after a while to their second world cup, although this is the first one they would be competing in. Bulgaria was drawn in a tough group with tough opponents England, power machine Argentina and super power house Hungary. Bulgaria would open up their campaign with a narrow 0-1 loss to Argentina. Later on, misery would strike, as Bulgaria would lose their second group match by a 1-6 score to Hungary. Bulgaria's hopes of qualifying were over, but with one world cup match left, they gave it a shot. They would end up drawing with England 0-0 and finish fourth in the group with only one point.
As 4 years passed, so did another chance of world cup success. Bulgaria would qualify for their second straight world cup. They were drawn into an even harder group than last world cup. They would end up in a group of death with super powers Hungary, Portugal and Brazil with Pele at the helm. Bulgaria would open their campaign match with a 0-2 loss to Brazil thanks to two free kick goals by Pele and Garrincha. Later on Bulgaria would lose 0-3 to Euseibo and Portugal. Finally Bulgaria, once again with no chance of next round qualification, would finish their last match with a 1-3 loss to Hungary. Bulgaria would finish fourth with zero points in the group. This being Bulgaria's worst world cup performance yet in Bulgaria's history.
After their poor world cup performance, Bulgaria was determined to redeem themselves somehow. So when the time finally came, they did. Bulgaria was drawn in a group with Scandinavian Giants Norway and Sweden along with King Euseibo and Portugal. Bulgaria started off very well with a 4-2 win over Norway. They would add to their winning streak with a 3-0 destruction of Sweden. There final match would determine who would win the group. Bulgaria were downed in the past world cup by Portugal 3-0, and they were determined not to happen again. When the game finally came, Bulgaria would defeat Portugal by a 1-0 score. This would seal Bulgaria as group winners and a shot at the two legged quarterfinal. When that time finally came Bulgaria would have to face Italy, the hosts. Bulgaria would start off well, with a 3-2 victory over the Italians. When the second match came, Bulgaria would fall 2-0, also causing them to lose in aggregate and getting eliminated from the tournament. Italy would go on to win the European Championship, and Bulgaria would get the 5th-place ranking, for being the only team in the tournament able to defeat the champions Italy, in a match.
A month and a half after the European Championship came the Olympics, which Bulgaria had qualified for the 5th time in their history. They were drawn in a simple group with minnows Thailand, tough opponents Guatemala and giants Czechoslovakia. Bulgaria would start off with a 7-0 thrashing of Thailand. They would later go on and draw with Czechoslovakia 2-2 to increase their point standards. Their final match would determine if they would go on to the quarterfinals. As the time came Bulgaria would defeat Guatemala 2-1 and win their first round Olympic group. They would pass on to the Quarterfinals to face underdogs Israel. That game would remain 1-1 for most of the match until a drawing of lots would determine who would go to the semifinals of the tournament. Bulgaria would with the draw and advance to play Mexico. They would have a hard fought match, but overtime they would come out on top with a 3-2 victory. Bulgaria would advance to the finals for the first time in their Olympic history. They were determined to win the gold medal, but would fall short badly with a 1-4 loss to Hungary. Bulgaria worked hard but could only come out with a silver medal. It was a good performance but not enough for the final and most important game of the tournament.
Bulgaria qualified for their third straight world cup. This time it was in Mexico just like the Olympics two years before it. Bulgaria was hoping for another great result like in the Olympics but this time in world cup standards. They were drawn in a medially tough group with power giants Germany, South American powers Peru and African underdogs Morocco. Bulgaria played their first match against Peru. They were leading the match 2-0 until near the end when the Peruvians woke up and began to score. Bulgaria would clumsily fall to Peru 2-3, and start their group in slow fashion. The second match didn't change much for Bulgaria as they would fall to the giants Germany 5-2. Bulgaria still had a chance to qualify for the next round but they would need a win against Morocco to do that. When that time came Bulgaria would lead Morocco for most of the game until the 61st minute. Bulgaria would end up drawing with Morocco 1-1. They would finish the group in 3rd place but fall short of next round qualification.
Four years later, in Germany, Bulgaria would qualify for their fourth straight world cup. They were drawn in a decently tough group, with destroyers the Netherlands, up setters Sweden and shockers Uruguay. Bulgaria would start off with Sweden and after 90 minutes the game would remain goalless in a 0-0 draw. Although no goals, Bulgaria were down set from the disallowed goal they scored, that was ruled offside by the side ref. Later on though Bulgaria would tie with Uruguay 1-1 after a hard fought match. Bulgaria remained in good qualifying contention; all they needed to do was tie against the Netherlands. As the final match came, Bulgaria would fall by a 1-4 score. The ironic thing though was that Netherlands scored all the goals including an own goal for Bulgaria. Bulgaria would remain in 3rd place in the group and sadly fall short of the next round once again. The good thing was that this was their best performance at a world cup since 1930; with 2 draws and 1 loss. Though, their best performances were soon to come.
Bulgaria qualified for the World Cup in Mexico by finishing second in Group Four, behind France with 11 points, but worse goal difference, ahead of the teams of Yugoslavia, East Germany, and Luxembourg. This was their fifth World Cup appearance. They were drawn in Group A with Italy, Argentina, and South Korea. In the opening match of the World Cup, the Bulgarians held the defending champions Italy to a 1–1 draw. Alessandro Altobelli gave the Italians the lead, but an 85th minute equalizer by Nasko Sirakov gave the Bulgarians the point. The next match was another 1–1 draw against South Korea with the goal for Bulgaria coming from Plamen Getov in the 11th minute. They lost the final match of the group 2–0 against Argentina, who ended up winning the tournament. Despite not recording a win, the Bulgarians advanced to the knockout stage by being the third-best third placed team. That way, Bulgaria and also Uruguay became the first nations to qualify for the knockout stage without winning a game in the first round. In the Round of 16, they faced World Cup hosts Mexico and lost the match 2–0. Ivan Vutsov was the manager of the team.
Certainly one of the most important dates in Bulgarian football history is 17 November 1993, a date where Emil Kostadinov scored two goals to beat France in Paris, allowing Bulgaria to qualify for the World Cup in the United States in 1994. Under the management of Dimitar Penev, the Bulgarians, led by players such as Hristo Stoichkov, Yordan Lechkov, and Krasimir Balakov — along with a multitude of other talented players remembered in Bulgaria as the "Golden Generation" — made a strong impression by reaching the semi-finals. They entered Group D with Argentina, Nigeria, and Greece. Before that, the Bulgarians hadn't won a single match in five World Cup finals appearances. The first match ended with a 3–1 defeat by Nigeria at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas. Despite the bad start, the team won 4–0 against World Cup-debuting Greece at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois and then returned to Dallas to win 2–0 against Argentina. Argentina had actually been winning the group going into injury-time. A 91st minute strike from Nasko Sirakov, however, meant that they dropped two places and finished third. Bulgaria continued to the next round, where they faced Mexico at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey near New York City. The match ended 1–1 and after no goals were scored in extra time, penalties would decide which team would go through. Team captain Borislav Mihaylov made a good performance saving the first three penalty kicks, making it a world cup record. Bulgaria won 3–1 on penalties with Mihaylov becoming the hero for the Bulgarian team. In the quarter-finals, Bulgaria faced the then-defending World Cup champions Germany, again in New Jersey. Lothar Matthäus scored from a penalty. The Bulgarians, however, managed to turn the game over with two goals by Hristo Stoichkov and Yordan Lechkov, giving them a 2–1 win and recording one of the most memorable wins for the team. Having reached the semi-finals, this was the best Bulgarian performance in the World Cup. In the semi-finals, they lost 2–1 to Italy once again at Giants Stadium, and they then had to travel 2,700 mi (4,320 km) across three time zones to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California near Los Angeles for the third-place match against Sweden. Bulgaria lost 4-0 and ended up finishing in 4th place—their best ever result at a FIFA World Cup. Hristo Stoichkov was awarded the Golden Boot as the top scorer in the tournament with six goals. Later in December, Stoitchkov was also awarded the FIFA Ballon d'or, becoming the first Bulgarian and third Barcelona Player to win it in history. Krasimir Balakov was named in the all-star team along with Stoichkov.
1996 Euro Cup: Group stage or quarter-final?
In 1996, the team qualified for the European Football Championship for the first time, after some good results in the qualifying group, including a stunning 3–2 turnaround win against future Euro 1996 champions Germany. They were drawn in Group B with France, Spain, and Romania. Bulgaria started with a 1–1 draw against the Spanish. They would score a second with a wonderful volley by Stoitchkov but it would be ruled offsides even though the cameras showed it clearly wasn't. After there rob of a win over Spain, Bulgaria went on to a 1–0 win against Romania. Stoitchkov scoring in the 3rd minute adding a second goal to the list. In the final group match, they lost 3–1 against France, Stoitchkov scoring from an amazing freekick to give Bulgaria there only goal of the game. At the same time, Spain defeated Romania 2–1 with the winner coming in the 84th minute, and the Bulgarians subsequently failed to qualify and robbed of the quarter-finals.
1998 World Cup: The last stand of the "Golden Team"
Bulgaria qualified for the World Cup in France by finishing first in the Group 5, followed by Russia. They entered the competition with a new manager Hristo Bonev. Bulgaria drew Spain, Nigeria, and Paraguay in Group D. The first match ended in a 0–0 goalless draw against Paraguay. In the second match, the Bulgarians lost 1–0 for a second-straight World Cup to Nigeria. The final match ended with a disappointing 6–1 defeat to Spain, even though two offsides goals were ruled out. Following the bad results, Bulgaria finished fourth in the group, with only one point, and didn't go through the next round. This was the last major appearance at World Cup level for Bulgaria.
Bulgaria was drawn in a tough qualifying group with teams like England, Sweden, and Poland. The campaign started bad with a draw and a defeat by Poland and Sweden. The most memorable match for Bulgaria in the group was the 1–1 draw against England, which was also the last one for Bulgarian legend Hristo Stoichkov before his international retirement. Bulgaria finished third with eight points and failed to make the final stages of Euro 2000.
Bulgaria, Denmark, and Czech Republic amongst the main contenders for the qualifying spots. This is also the debut of Bulgaria's top scoring legend Dimitar Berbatov. Bulgaria won the matches against the weaker teams, but lost 2–0 to Denmark and one match with the Czech Republic. That way, Bulgaria finished third with 17 points and three points behind second-placed Czech Republic, thus failing to make the World Cup in South Korea and Japan.
Bulgaria managed to qualify for the Euro 2004 in Portugal by finishing first in the group ahead of teams like Croatia and Belgium with 17 points. They drew Sweden, Italy, and Denmark in Group C. They started very disappointing with a defeat to Sweden, followed by a 2–0 defeat to Denmark. The last match against Italy was a reasonable 2–1 defeat. The match was looking to end 1–1 after goals from Bulgarian winger Martin Petrov and Simone Perrotta, but a last minute goal by Antonio Cassano gave the Italians the win. They finished fourth with zero points and were sent home without reaching the knockout round. This has been the last Euro appearance of the Bulgarian national team.
Bulgaria failed to qualify for the World Cup in Germany after a run of poor results,they started off good with wins over Hungary and other weaker teams. They tied with Sweden and Croatia the first run but lost the other meetings to the two sides. Although Berbatov scored many key goals in the qualifier including a last minute eqaulizer against Croatia, Bulgaria still finished third in Group Eight, behind Sweden and Croatia with 15 points.
Although not making it to the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Bulgaria found themselves in a minor tournament in Japan. Known as the Kirin Cup, Bulgaria entered for the first time. They started off well with a 2-1 victory over the hosts Japan. Later on though, things went downhill as they lost 5-1 to Scotland, the eventual champions of the Kirin Cup. Bulgaria became the Runners Up and received the silver medal.
Group G had Netherlands, Romania, and Bulgaria as the main contestants for a qualifying spot for the Euro 2008 in Switzerland and Austria. Bulgaria performed well after a run of good results from Romania that gave them the first place. Bulgaria would go on to the playoffs but draw the first match 1-1 with a goal by Petrov in the 10th minute and lose the second 2-0. The Bulgarians were robbed of a Euro and finished with 25 points, after Romania and Netherlands, with only one lost match against the Dutch.
Bulgaria National Football Team in 2010.
Bulgaria were drawn against Italy and Ireland in qualifying Group Eight. Bulgaria started the campaign with a series of draws in the 2010 qualifiers. After the unconvincing start, the manager Plamen Markov was replaced by Stanimir Stoilov in January 2009. The Bulgarians then recorded their first win in the group against Cyprus, and also won against Montenegro and Georgia. They finished in third place in the group with 14 points, therefore failing to qualify directly or for a play-off place. Bulgarian top scorer Berbatov resigned from the national side after this result.
The National Team in 2012.
Bulgaria were drawn in Group G along with England, Switzerland, Wales, and Montenegro. Bulgaria started off bad with a loss to England. They would later on draw with Switzerland and defeat Wales and Montenegro, but sadly Bulgaria finished in third behind Switzerland. This was the fourth time in the 2000s that Bulgaria has finished third in there qualifier group.
In the qualification phase for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Bulgaria were placed in Group B together with the teams of Italy, Denmark, Czech Republic, Armenia and Malta. Under the guidance of former player Lyuboslav Penev as head coach, Bulgaria enjoyed a revival and put in credible performance in friendly matches before the start of the qualifications, most notably a 1-2 victory over World Cup 2010 runner-ups Netherlands in Amsterdam. The qualifications started with a well-earned 2-2 draw against the Euro 2012 runner-up Italy on home soil. Bulgaria then edged a tight match against Armenia which ended 1-0. Later on Bulgaria narrowly drew 1-1 against Denmark. Another good performance followed four days later, Bulgaria earning a hard-fought 0-0 draw away to the Czech Republic. As a result of these performances when Penev took over the team climbed from 96th in the FIFA Ranking, their lowest position ever, to 40th in November 2012. Nevertheless, Penev's players hosted and defeated Malta 6-0 under a heavy snowfall for their next qualifier. Four days later, Bulgaria once again set a draw with Denmark 1-1 in Copenhagen.. This result left Bulgaria second in the group with 10 points and still undefeated. Bulgaria travelled to Italy 3, a game where they narrowly lost 1-0. Further on, the lions secured three more points with a 1-2 away win against Malta, leaving them hopeful of securing their second place in the group and a spot in the play-offs. However, after Bulgaria was defeated by Armenia 2-1 and the Czech Republic 1-0 at home, the dream of qualifying ended.
Bulgaria have been placed in a group with Italy, Croatia, Norway, Azerbaijan, and Malta. Bulgaria opened up there first match with a 2-1 victory over Azerbaijan. They were narrowly defeated 1-0 by Croatia, following another tight 2-1 defeat to Norway. To add to the misery, Bulgaria drew with Malta 1-1 at home. This ultimately cost Head Coach Lyuboslav Penev his position, which was replaced by former Ludogorets Razgrad Coach Ivaylo Petev. On his debut match, Petev's squad drew Romania 0-0, this later led to a hard fought 2-2 draw with Italy, which Bulgaria led till the end of the match. When June came around Bulgaria took down Malta 1-0 to edge 2 points ever closer to that third place playoff position. Their chances of qualifying to the finals tournament in France are very slim, essentially theoretical. Bulgaria currently is ranked fourth in the group with their next match away against Croatia.
Bulgaria have been drawn in a tough world cup qualification group with powerhouses Netherlands, France, Sweden along with other members Belarus and Luxembourg. Bulgaria has already had a recent meeting with the Netherlands within the year 2013 in which Bulgaria came out on top with a 2-1 victory. Bulgaria has also had a 100 percent record history against Luxembourg while recently defeating Belarus 2-1 in a friendly in 2014. To add to this aspect, the last time Bulgaria was drawn within a world cup qualification group with Sweden and France was in 1994. Bulgaria drew level with Sweden once, and defeated France twice, decisively, to reach the 1994 World Cup in the U.S. where Bulgaria reached its all-time high of going to the Semi-Finals. Although placed with tough opponents, Bulgaria has luckily drawn Luxembourg at home for their first match in September. This will give them the brief opportunity to re-group hopeing to earn an early victory. This can lead the team on to starting off their qualifying campaign on a very positive level at the top of the group while building momentum overtime for when the time comes to face the stronger and tougher opponents.
Traditionally the squad of Bulgarian plays at home entirely in colours of the Bulgarian tricolore, with predominantly white. This explains the very commonly used nickname The Lions.
Normally, the Bulgarian national football team's home stadium is the Vasil Levski National Stadium with a capacity of 43,632. Vasil Levski was officially opened in 1953 and reconstructed in 1966 and 2002.It is currently eligible to host UEFA Europa League final matches. It is the second largest stadium in Bulgaria just behind the Plovdiv Stadium with a capacity 55,000. During the 2006–07 UEFA Champions League, the stadium was used for the games of Levski Sofia with Barcelona, Chelsea, and Werder Bremen. It was also given three stars for its excellence in art construction of the stadium. The Bulgarian national football team's home matches and the Bulgarian Cup finals are held at the venue, as well as athletics competitions. The stadium also offers judo, artistic gymnastics, basketball, boxing, aerobics, fencing and table tennis halls, as well as a general physical training hall, two conference halls, and three restaurants.
On November 4, 2011 it was announced that Bulgaria's new national stadium is going to be built in the Sofia suburb of Vrazhdebna, the Minister of Youth and Sports, Svilen Neykov, has announced. The new national stadium will be called "Arena of the Rose" and will be constructed near the International Airport where Vrazhdebna is located. It will have 60,000 seats and seen from above it will appear in the structure of a rose.
Since 1992 the olympic roster may consist out of under-23 year old players, plus three over the age players.
The following players are in the squad for the match against Bulgaria U21 on 13 November.
Caps and goals updated as of 13 October 2015 after the match against Azerbaijan.
Bulgaria's kit are currently supplied by Spanish brand Joma. They replaced Italian company Kappa who supplied Bulgaria's kits between 2011 to 2014.
↑ Croatia were deducted one point after charges for racist behaviour in the match against Italy at Stadion Poljud. In addition, Croatian Football Federation were ordered to play next two home matches in UEFA competition behind closed doors and not to play any of its remaining qualifying games at Poljud. A fine of €100,000 was also imposed.
