Bulgaria Weather
US Department Of State Post Report
Many Embassy personnel live in the Iztok neighborhood, east of the downtown area, in apartments, which are leased from the Bulgarian Bureau for Services to the Diplomatic Corps. Couples with children are usually assigned houses, which are located in suburbs on the lower slopes of Mount Vitosha, beyond the southern ring road. Winter weather and road conditions make compact four-wheel-drive vehicles advisable for those living in the suburbs. A few downtown apartment units are in the housing pool, but parking is often not available in the same building; Iztok apartments and most of the houses have indoor garage spaces.

I fail every day at something. You will have disappointments in life, things will go wrong. and to be successful you might have to know what to do with failure. And the rule I have, the lesson I give to students is when something goes wrong – a failed exam, a failed relationship, a failed opportunity, you didn’t get what you wanted, or you made a big mistake, got yourself in trouble and now you got to get out of trouble- Analyze it, What went wrong? And then analyze it specifically for one thing: What did I do wrong? Not what did he do wrong, or she do wrong, or the weather was bad, or this was wrong, or that was wrong – what did I do wrong. And once I analyze what my mistake was, or I failed to anticipate something, or where I failed to anticipate someone else’s failure, which caused my failu ... [Read More]

Open Skies Treaty
Sensors. Open Skies aircraft may have video, optical panoramic and framing cameras for daylight photography, infra-red line scanners for a day/night capability, and synthetic aperture radar for a day/night all weather capability. Photographic image quality will permit recognition of major military equipment (e.g., permit a State Party to distinguish between a tank and a truck), thus allowing significant transparency of military forces and activities. Sensor categories may be added and capabilities improved by agreement among States Parties. All equipment used in Open Skies must be commercially available to all participants in the regime. ...

Both the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives held hearings, beginning in 1972, and the Senate adopted a resolution in 1973 calling for an international agreement "prohibiting the use of any environmental or geophysical modification activity as a weapon of war...." In response to this resolution, the President ordered the Department of Defense to undertake an in-depth review of the military aspects of weather and other environmental modification techniques. The results of this study and a subsequent interagency study led to the U.S. Governments decision to seek agreement with the Soviet Union to explore the possibilities of an international agreement. ...
