SOFIA Wholesale Steelers Hoodies , Jan. 29 (Xinhua) -- Bulgarian institutions should join hands and implement comprehensive measures to tackle drug addiction, Kalin Kamenov, Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports said here on Thursday.


He made the statement while opening a workshop aimed at improving the prevention of drug use, attended by some 50 experts from national and regional institutions.


"Unfortunately, prevention activities are mainly related to advertising materials and publications, while a large part of drug addicts are representatives of ethnic and minority groups who are illiterate," Kamenov said.


To achieve a lasting effect of preventive work, Bulgarian institutions must begin to work together and implement comprehensive measures related to social inclusion, education, employment, training and retraining, Kamenov said.


Kamenov, who from 2012 to 2013 served as chairman of the State Agency for Child Protection, was convinced of this when he, along with over 30 representatives of seven institutions and NGOs, toured districts in Sofia and explored the reasons why people use drugs and what can help them stop, he said.


According to a national survey on attitudes and use of psychoactive substances in the general population in Bulgaria conducted at the end of 2012, 8.3 percent of the adult population used some of the drugs included in the survey at least once in their lifetime. The share in 2005, 2007 and 2008 was 5.2 percent, 6.4 percent and 8.6 respectively, the survey said.


CHICAGO, May 12 (Xinhua) -- Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) grains futures closed mixed on Friday with corn futures firmed on light short-covering ahead of the weekend and uncertainty about planting weather in the Midwest.


The most active corn contract for July delivery rose 1.75 cents, or 0.47 percent, to settle at 3.71 dollars per bushel. July wheat delivery fell 1 cents, or 0.23 percent, to close at 4.3275 dollars per bushel. July soybeans fell 3.25 cent, or 0.34 percent, to 9.63 dollars per bushel.


Corn rose as some forecasts added more moisture for next week, at a time when U.S. farmers are trying to finish planting following rain delays in recent weeks, and flooding in portions of the southern Midwest.


CBOT soybeans were pressured by increased estimates of South America's harvest. Brazil's statistics agency Conab on Thursday raised its estimate of the country's 201617 crop to a new record of 113 million tonnes, from 110.2 million last month.


Wheat futures were little changed in choppy trade. Plentiful global supplies continue to cap rallies, but the market drew underlying support from excessive moisture in the U.S. Plains and Midwest that has threatened winter wheat production potential.

My first Hot Air Balloon ride was back in 1997 it seems like a long time ago now but I remember it like yesterday. Getting up at a staggering 4.00 am in the morning and driving to the Balloon Club. I had been given a Day out experience of a lifetime for a birthday present.
As a choice for an extreme sport it seemed the safest option as I had a choice of a parachute jump which I had done previously and can I highly recommend not to do again ever. The other fabulous choice was a diving experience and as I?m already a Divemaster I chose to do the Hot Air Balloon ride.
I drove up to the balloon centre and was welcomed and given the experience which includes the safety talk introduced to the day?s hot air balloon pilot and prospected course and a brief history of the sport of Hot Air Ballooning.
Watching in the early hours of the morning the giant red envelope inflating trying to calm my last minute nerves. Eventually the envelope was full enough to tilt the basket to the horizontal position. The pilot was fantastic at calming me and fianc?e. At around 07:30 in the morning watching the sun rise and the balloon was ready. We scrambled aboard into the basket.
Watching the ropes release and feeling the initial lift made me shudder but then you feel strange as the ground gently slips away beneath you. The pilot gives a few blasts of the burner to give additional lift and we rise over the countryside.
Watching the landscape and the peace and quiet as we drift across England on a sunny day. This is one of the most acceptable extreme sports especially when you can the early morning rush hour of backed up traffic. Watching life go by slowly and feeling the wind and a fair bit of cold at altitude was one of the most fun days out I have ever had.
Eventually as they say what goes up must come down and the pilot pointed out into the distance to a large field and simply said landing over there approximately. The pilot had not used the burner for a while so we had started to descend. This is always going to be the tricky bit at what speed and our you going to get hurt when landing.
You start to feel a little bit anxious as you see the ground becoming a little bit closer but the use of the burner slows you down and I was confident in our pilots ability. We gently came down to the last 100 feet and you feel yourself counting as we get lower to the field and then as you touch drag along the floor you know the words the eagle has landed pass into your head.
We gladly helped out in tidying up the equipment as the call came through to where we had landed. We phoned through to find out where we are to get picked up. Overall it was a brilliant ex.
