So differences between poor and rich people are enormous. Most of the firms pays low salary's. Chef of the firm has money but he will not increase the payment. It's ridiculous situation. Chefs wants better employers for few money. There are three ways to achieve something in my country. First is with close friends or relatives you start to work for government or for local municipality. Second is to start work in big firm in Sofia and hope to progress. Third way is to start new business. I like third one. It's risky but if you have a success it's the best. For me entrepreneurship is opportunity to evolve myself and to start my business. I have to be hardworking, well informed and open mind. Bulgaria is in European union since two thousand and seven. So now my country must obey many roles. One of it is about nylon bags. In Bulgaria we use many nylon bags. But they make our environment very dirty. So EU order us to change that. Now Bulgaria is obliged to change nylon bags with other more ecological bags. So there are different types of bags. Reusable nylon bags, nylon bags which...

...turning into vampires. The discovery illustrates a pagan practice common in some villages up until century ago, say historians. People deemed bad had their hearts stabbed after death, for fear they would return to feast on humans' blood. Similar archaeological sites have also been unearthed in other Balkan countries. Bulgaria is home to around 100 known "vampire skeleton" burials. Searchers stumbled across the latest two specimens, dating back to the Middle Ages, in the Black Sea town of Sozopol. "These skeletons stabbed with rods illustrate a practice which was common in some Bulgarian villages up until the first decade of the 20th Century," explained Bozhidar Dimitrov who heads the National History Museum in the Bulgarian capital Sofia. People believed the rod would pin the dead into their graves to prevent them from leaving at midnight and terrorising the living, the historian added. Archaeologist Petar Balabanov, who in 2004 discovered six nailed-down skeletons at a site near the...

Retail and leisure companies from Europe and the US are looking to enter or expand and there's a good deal of interest from the money men of the Middle East and Asia. More opportunities are available every day in Bulgaria for other countries to invest in. There is a huge untapped area of wealth available to be reaped.

Due to the easy and abundant access to qualified employees in IT, Bulgarian has been a preferred outsourcing destination for the IT industry for a decade now. Excellent performance of the local branches justified expansion and the transfer of growingly important business to Bulgaria. HP(2000 people), CSC(600), SAP Labs(500), vmware(300) etc. have all expanded their operations in recent years, providing local IT professionals with more know-how.

This trend will accelerate even more as disposable income and an understanding of the franchise business model grows.

...Lucy Parkhurst Dr. Thombre 11/5/13 Intercultural Movie Review When thinking of intercultural communication, the movie that comes to mind is Sophia Coppola’s “Lost in Translation”. Bob Harris, played by Bill Murray, is an American actor who visits Tokyo, Japan to film an ad for whiskey. Bob, away from his wife and his familiar western environment, experiences isolation, loneliness, and sleeplessness upon entering Tokyo. He is constantly frustrated, due largely in part to his understanding of what others, such as a film director, restaurant waiters, and prostitutes are trying to convey to him in Japanese. In the midst of all this, he meets Charlotte, an American woman who like him, is lonely because her husband is more interested in his photography work than her. Due to their shared loneliness and feelings of isolation and culture shock, Bob and Charlotte become friends, and begin a relationship through respect, trust, and self-disclosure. Bob and Charlotte become a mirror to each other, as both try to sort out their identities and how proceed from their own relational crossroads. While the audience may wonder throughout the movie if Bob and Charlotte’s relationship will ever become romantic, it is plain to see that they learn lots about themselves and each other as a result of being outsiders in this new and unfamiliar culture. The most evident intercultural concepts I noticed in the film is culture shock, language, and identity. The first concept, culture shock, is explained...

...experiences. And this doesn't just apply to one person, it applies to everyone. This presents a conflict when filters are activated in a different matter, hearing what we choose to hear instead of what we are intended to hear. Now when it comes to context, people sometimes forget the situation in which a statement was said. The sentence "I hate you" can be taken many different ways when put into different situations, it could either be a meaningless threat or the end of a realtionship, depending on it's interpretation. Misconstrued context can further complicate a misunderstanding. For example, I was watching modern family the other night, and the funniest example of misunderstood context came up.. So the family goes to a restaurant and sofia vergara, who plays a family friend, goes "I feel like I'm losing my children in America, I feel like they're just gonna become boring old white people" just as a group of old white men walk by. And it just...

...Courtney McNeill Lisa Proctor English 1100 March 27, 2015 Easy, Breezy, Beautiful, Covergirl The February 2015 issue of Us Weekly magazine features a Covergirl advertisement with the actress Sofia Vergara. The target audience of the Us Weekly Magazine is persons falling in the age category of 18-49. In the Covergirl advertisement, Sofia has a very illuminating smile, flashing her perfectly straight teeth and her complimenting magenta lipstick.

Her hand is strategically placed upon her shoulder revealing her black bra strap. The word “Covergirl” is written at the top of the ad across the actress’s forehead in all capital letters and white font.

...Walter Taylor AR115 In 1937, Pablo Picasso created a painting called the “Guernica”, oil on canvas. It was commissioned at the 1937 World Fair by the Republican Spanish government. Pablo Picasso’s paintings all tell a story, or reflect a personal meaning to Picasso. "My whole life as an artist has been nothing more than a continuous struggle against reaction and the death of art. In the picture I am painting — which I shall call Guernica — I am expressing my horror of the military caste which is now plundering Spain into an ocean of misery and death." Pablo Picasso When looking at the painting Guernica, I initially focused on the center of the mural. Many of the lines cross or meet near the middle of the work, most of which are diagonal. They start at the two bottom corners and meet toward the middle-top where the vertex is an oil lamp. The diagonals are not defined, but are created with overlapping, with dark and lightness. I noticed a woman on the bottom right she is picking herself up whose head, neck, and arm are along a diagonal. The lines tell a story and the painting is filled with sharp and jagged shapes that are used in positive and negative space. The faces are defined with light and stand out. The painting is done in black and white, there are mid-grays but I would have to say that the main focus is the contrast of the black and white. The painting gives us spatial depth. The overlapping of heads and arms and shapes are interpreted farther away, while others...
