Origins and usage
The system was originally developed to serve for the Romanization of Bulgarian geographical names in Antarctica.
It was adopted by the Antarctic Place-names Commission of Bulgaria on 2 March 2005.
An early explanation of the Streamlined System was made in 1997 to the US and UK Antartcic place-naming authorities.
They had noticed the difference from their 1952 BGN/PCGN romanization of Bulgarian.
The new system became subject to comparative study at the Department of English and American Studies at Sofia University.
Subsequently, the system was chosen by the Bulgarian Government.
It is the official transliteration system to be used in all identity documents, road signs, street names, official information systems, databases, local authorities’ websites etc.
Eventually, the Streamlined System became part of Bulgarian law by way of the Transliteration Law passed in 2009.
The Streamlined system was adopted also by UN in 2012, and for official US and UK use, by BGN and PCGN in 2013.
Ivanov proposes using his Romanization approach in the case of Cyrillic alphabets of other Slavic languages, notably Russian.
First, the primary purpose of this system is to ensure a plausible phonetic approximation of Bulgarian words by English speaking users, including those having no knowledge of the Bulgarian language and no available additional explanations;
Second – and of lesser priority, the system should allow for the retrieval of the original Cyrillic spellings as much as feasible;
Third, transliterated Bulgarian words should fit an English language environment i.e. not be perceived as too ‘un-English’; and
Fourth, transliterated word forms should be streamlined and simple.
Authentic Roman spellings of names of non-Bulgarian origin have priority, for instance James Bourchier, Émile de Laveleye and Wellington and not Dzheyms Baucher, Emil dyo Lavele or Uelingtan.
Word-final -ИЯ is transliterated as IA rather than IYA (exception introduced in 2006).
It had been proposed to modify the Streamlined System so that Bulgarian letters Ъ and Ц were transliterated as Ă and TZ respectively.
However, those proposals failed to gain wider acceptance, and were not adopted for official usage.
Example (Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights):
Invertibility
The system is not invertible, for А, Ж, Й, Ц, Ш, Щ, Ю, Я are transliterated in the same way as are Ъ, ЗХ, Ь, ТС, СХ, ШТ, ЙУ, ЙА respectively.
An auxiliary, invertible variant of the system without the ИЯ-exception rule is proposed by L. Ivanov, D. Skordev and D. Dobrev to be used in those special cases when the exact retrieval of Bulgarian words from their Romanized forms is a priority, with Cyrillic letters and combinations of letters
Ъ, Ь, ЗХ, ЙА, ЙУ, СХ, ТС, ТШ, ТЩ, ШТ, ШЦ transliterated as `A, `Y, Z|H, Y|A, Y|U, S|H, T|S, T|SH, T|SHT, SH|T, SH|TS respectively.
In order to ensure full invertibility of the system, including the case of the ИЯ-exception rule, one may transliterate word-final -ИА as I|A rather than IA.
The plain streamlined transliteration word form could be retrieved from its invertible variant by simply removing the additional symbols ` and |.
Comparison with other systems
The Streamlined System is based on an English-oriented transliteration, taking advantage of the global lingua franca role of English.
A similar shift towards English-oriented transliteration is observed in the case of other Cyrillic alphabets such as Russian and Ukrainian, and to some extent Macedonian.
The Streamlined System is similar to the old 1952 BGN/PCGN System for the Romanization of Bulgarian, which had been official in the USA and the United Kingdom until 2013.
The latter however transliterates the Cyrillic letters Х, Ь and Ъ as KH, ’ (apostrophe) and Ŭ, while the former uses H, Y and A instead.
Another similar system not adopted for official use in Bulgaria is that of A. Danchev, M. Holman, E. Dimova and M. Savova, which transliterates the Cyrillic letters У and Ъ by OU and U respectively, while the Streamlined System uses U and A for this purpose.
Furthermore, the latter system transliterates the digraphs АЙ•ай, ЕЙ•ей, ОЙ•ой and УЙ•уй by AI•ai, EI•ei, OI•oi and OUI•oui instead of AY•ay, EY•ey, OY•oy and UY•uy respectively.
Richardson was the daughter of actress Vanessa Redgrave and movie director and producer Tony Richardson.
She was the granddaughter of Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson.
In 1994, she married Liam Neeson.
Together, they had two children, Micheal (born 1995) and Daniel (born 1996).
Early in her career she portrayed Mary Shelley and Patty Hearst in movies.
She received critical acclaim and a Theatre World Award for her Broadway debut in the 1993 revival of Anna Christie.
She won the Tony Award for "Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical", the Drama Desk Award for "Outstanding Actress in a Musical", and the Outer Critics Circle Award for her performance as Sally Bowles in the 1998 Broadway revival of Cabaret.
Some of her best known movies included Nell (1994), The Parent Trap (1998 remake) and
Maid in Manhattan (2002).
Richardson died in  a hospital in New York City on March 18, 2009.
She did not recover from brain damage that happened in a skiing accident in Quebec, Canada.
She was on vacation with her two sons.

A medical abortion is an abortion where drugs are used to induce the abortion.
In the 1970s, such abortions became an option to end the pregnancy during its first trimester.
The drugs most often used in 2009 are mifepristone and methotrexate, either alone or in combination with a prostaglandin.
The Durand Line is the international  land border between Afghanistan and Pakistan in South-Central Asia.
It was established after an 1897 memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Mortimer Durand of British India and Afghan Amir Abdur Rahman Khan.
Referred to as a frontier line, it is named after Mortimer Durand, who was the Foreign Secretary of colonial British India at the time.
Later, Abdur Rahman Khan's successor, Amir Habibullah Khan signed a new agreement with Britain which again confirmed the legality of the Durand Line.
King Amanullah Khan also accepted Durand line as international border between Afghanistan and British India after signing the Anglo-Afghan treaty of 1919.
Article 5 of this treaty, on the basis of which Afghanistan reclaimed its independence, says that Afghanistan accepted all previously agreed border arrangements with British India.
Hence, Afghanistan as an independent country recognized Durand line as an international border.
The Durand Line cuts through the Afghan tribal areas, politically dividing ethnic Pashtuns and Baloch people who live on both sides.
The line is internationally recognized by many countries as the western border of Pakistan, but Afghan governments after 1947 never recognized it.
Afghan Pashtun leaders claim Pakistani territories and say that the Durand Line is "an issue of historical importance for Afghanistan.
The Afghan people, not the government, can take a final decision on it."
However, non-Pashtuns Afghans have always recognized durand line as international border between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Similarly, Pakistani Pashtuns have also recognized Durand line as international border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
In 2017 President Hamid Karzai said Afghanistan "will never accept" the Durand Line.

An unsafe abortion is an abortion which is not done by a person which has the skills to do them (a licensed doctor), or in a place that does not meet at least basic standards of hygiene.
Unsafe abortions can be very dangerous to the mother.
Many women die or get a disease because they had an unsafe abortion.
About 95 percent of unsafe abortions happen in developing countries.
Trying to break the amniotic sac inside the womb.
This can be done with a sharp stick or wire (for example a clothes hanger).
This method is dangerous, because it can lead to infection.
It may also hurt internal organs (for example pulling out the intestines) - resulting in the death of the woman treated.
Pumping toxic mixtures, such as Chile peppers and chemicals like alum, or plant poison into the body of the woman.
This method can cause the woman to go in to toxic shock and die.
Back-alley abortion
The method using the coat hanger, as described above, was known by many people.
This method was not what was done normally, though.
In fact, Mary Calderone, former medical director of Planned Parenthood, said, in a 1960 printing of the American Journal of Public Health:
"Abortion is no longer a dangerous procedure.
This applies not just to therapeutic abortions as performed in hospitals but also to so-called illegal abortions as done by physician.
In 1957 there were only 260 deaths in the whole country attributed to abortions of any kind, second, and even more important, the conference [on abortion sponsored by Planned Parenthood] estimated that 90 percent of all illegal abortions are presently being done by physicians.
Whatever trouble arises usually arises from self-induced abortions, which comprise approximately 8 percent, or with the very small percentage that go to some kind of non-medical abortionist.
Abortion, whether therapeutic or illegal, is in the main no longer dangerous, because it is being done well by physicians."
The argument of back-alley abortions was used to help make abortion legal in the United States.
In 1973, the US Supreme Court decided that abortion should be legalized.
It was treating a case called Roe v. Wade.
Since then, it has become a central argument on the part of some prominent legal abortion advocates.
Gerri Santoro died of blood loss after a back-alley abortion.
Her photo was used extensively to illustrate the dangers of illegal abortions.
Bernard Nathanson performed many abortions but later was against them.
He has said that many of the statistics that show that many women died from back-alley abortions in the US are false.
He said that he and his colleagues made many such statistics to lead people to believe that legalizing abortion was a good thing to do.

The Araluen Zieria (Zieria adenophora), is a small shrub found in only one place, on a slope above the Araluen Creek, near Araluen, New South Wales, Australia.
In 2001 there were only 56 known plants.
The plants were first collected in 1888, and they were then thought to have become extinct.
The Zieria was rediscovered in the late 1980s.
What the plant looks like
It is a small shrub, which is related to the boronia plants.
It is about  tall and 50 cm wide, though some plants have grown up to  tall.
It has a small white or pink flower with four petals, about  long.
The plant has flowers in spring, from August to October.
It also has small green leaves which are trifoliate, as being in three parts like a clover leaf.
The leaves have a strong smell.
Where they grow
The plants have only been found near the Araluen Creek.
They are growing on a steep, rocky, hillside.
The plant has been listed as Endangered under the Australian Government's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
It is endangered because there are so few of the plants and they are only found in one place.
A bushfire could destroy all the plants.
There is also a danger from wild goats in the area.
The goats do not eat the Zieria, but they could walk on the new seedlings and crush them.
The goats might eat all the other plants which could lead to erosion and the soil could be washed away.
Weeds growing around the plants might also stop new Zierias from growing.

Mifepristone is a synthetic steroid that is used as a drug.
It can be used to cause a medical abortion in the first two months of pregnancy.
It can also be used as an emergency contraceptive.
It is often known as RU-486, the name it had in early tests.
It was discovered by Roussel Uclaf in France in 1980.
Methotrexate is a drug.
It is used to treat cancer and other autoimmune diseases.
It can also be used to cause a medical abortion in the early stages of pregnancy.
A hysterotomy abortion is a form of surgical abortion.
In a hyterotomy abortion, the womb is opened, and the fetus is removed.
This is similar to a Caesarean section, but requires a smaller cut.
It is only used where other methods can or should not be done.
It is used between the 12th and 24th week of pregnancy.

Jules Henri Poincaré (29 April 1854 – 17 July 1912) was a French mathematician and scientist.
He was described as a "monster of mathematics " when still a child.
Many people think he was the last person to understand all branches of mathematics before the subject became too big for anyone to do this.
He came from a clever family, his father was a professor of medicine and his cousin, Raymond Poincaré became president of France.
He was sick as a child and for many years he had to be taught at home by his mother.
He used his mathematical skills to look at some of the biggest problems in science in his day.
He was the first person to describe in mathematical terms how three planets in orbit affect each others paths as they pass near by one another.
This was called the Three Body Problem.
He also tried to understand why the speed of light seems to be the fastest speed at which anything can travel in the universe.
In some ways he beat the famous scientist Albert Einstein to solving this question, but Einstein gave a more complete answer.
He gained fame for the discovery of the theory of relativity instead of Poincaré.
He created the Poincaré Conjecture, one of the most famous problems in mathematics which was only solved 100 years later.
He began the branches of mathematics which are known today as chaos theory and topology.
