I am not an alarmist. I don't believe in pandering to people's fears in order to sell magazines. I just like to be prepared. The time to prepare for an emergency is not after it has occurred.
Slim Pickings
One thing to take into consideration is that in times of crisis, the stores will be packed full of hysterical people who didn't prepare, and most of the supplies needed to survive and thrive through a disaster will fly off the shelves quite quickly. The only supplies you'll have are those items you were smart enough to stock up on when there was no emergency in sight.
A good example of this was Hurricane Harvey, which hit the U.S. Gulf Coast in late August 2017. As word of the powerful storm began to circulate, most of the critical items flew off the shelves, and fuel costs skyrocketed across the nation. Supplies such as food, water, ammunition, fuel, alcohol, tobacco, sugar, flower, salt, and preserved food stores and medical supplies were in such high demand that they all but disappeared when the realization set in with people that they were going to be fending for themselves at least for a while.
It is never a bad idea to stock up on nonperishable items with long shelf lives. You should start a system via which you rotate out older items through consumption and replace them with items of extended shelf lives. Be careful not to purchase "on sale" food items with expiration dates that are coming to an end. In addition, beware of dented, damaged or swollen containers and cans, because this can be a sign that the seal has been compromised, and the contents could have spoiled or have a reduced shelf life.
"You don't have to be a perpetuator of doom and gloom to be prepared for a crisis. All you have to do is recognize that we live in a world in which emergencies do happen."
The Currency of Lead … Bullet Lead
As we try to store away items to help us through an emergency, one item that stands out to me as probably one of the smarter items to stock up on is ammunition.
Ammunition can help protect and feed yourself and your loved ones. That said, you can have an arsenal of firearms—but they are only as good as the amount of ammunition you have for them.
As the fights against gun ownership and the 2nd Amendment go on, one of the "backdoor" threats that face gun owners is the availability of ammunition. Add a natural or manmade disaster to that equation, and you can expect ammunition to be in high demand and surely difficult, if not imposable, to get your hands on. That is why I encourage you to stockpile ammunition for their firearms now so you will have it if and when it becomes a problem to purchase on the open market.
While it should be your top priority to stock up on the ammunition that matches your personally owned weapons, don't forget to stock up on a few common calibers, as well, to be used as bartering items. Ammunition such as .22, 9mm, .45 ACP, 7.62×39, 5.56 and assorted 12-gauge ammunitions are always good to have, even if you don't currently own the weapons to match that ammo.
Long-Term Storage Solutions
Another thing that you will want to consider is long-term ammunition storage.
Anytime you want to store ammunition for a long period of time, one of the biggest problems you will run into is corrosion. The best way to avoid corrosion is to store your ammunition in a cool, dry place. If you don't do this, you might run into problems that will make firing the ammunition either dangerous or impossible to fire—such as bad primers, ruptured cartridges and rust, to name a few. I suggest you store ammunition either in its original packaging or vacuum seal it.
Another way to store it is in 5-gallon buckets with silica packets placed inside to cut down on moisture. You can fit about 6,000 rounds of 9mm ammunition in one 5-gallon bucket. You can also go online or to a military surplus store and purchase ammo cans for very little money.
You don't have to be a perpetuator of doom and gloom to be prepared for a crisis. All you have to do is recognize that we live in a world in which emergencies do happen.
We have a choice to either prepare—to protect and provide for ourselves and our loved ones by ourselves in a time of crisis—or we can depend on the government to do that for us. History has shown that it could take days, weeks or longer for aid and relief to arrive.
"Murphy's Law" says, "Anything bad that can happen will happen at the most inopportune time." Don't be a Murphy; start building up your supply stores now, so that when you need it most, you can have the peace of mind of knowing you can take care of yourself.

National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) President Kim Yong-ik held talks with visiting delegation of the World Health Insurance at his Seoul office, on Wednesday.
The meeting was part of the two-day Korea-WHO policy dialogue, which was also the follow-up of the U.N. agency's Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS), which was signed between the Korean government and WHO in January to promote the health of people in the West Pacific area, NSIS said in a news release.
During the talks, the two sides discussed medical support for North Korea through WHO, sharing of know-how regarding universal healthcare in developing countries, strategies on drug price negotiations and joint research by using bid data system."
"We are willing to share know-how on accomplishing universal healthcare system as well as operating national long-term care insurance," NHIS President Kim said. "Our agency will also try to share know-how on operating big data system to contribute to the attaining of the universal healthcare system in developing countries, through strategic cooperation with the WHO."
Edward Kelly, WHO's coordinator and head of the strategic program and patient safety, said, "Korea's health insurance system, particularly its know-how on long-term care service and the collection of insurance fees deserve to be shared with other countries." As the Korean agency is running the big data system very well, we think it desirable to conduct joint research and seek ways to transfer the know-how to developing countries, he added.
"Most developing countries are experiencing difficulties negotiating with multinational pharmaceutical companies, and we hope the Korean agency will share its accumulated experiences as a sole insurer with developing countries," Kelly said.

Hex and the City: few have escaped the curse of the Maine Road boardroom
"I PROMISE results, not promises," John Bond said as he accepted the manager's job at Manchester City in 1980. It was easy to understand his confusion. Little has made sense at Maine Road in modern times.
A bitter rift between Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison in 1971, only three seasons after they had led City to the title, set a precedent for making a sow's ear from a silk purse. Mercer was shifted sideways and City plunged into mediocrity.
Meanwhile, Peter Swales, the late former chairman, was well on the way to vilification. When Allison returned as manager in 1979, Swales gave him carte blanche to sign the best players. And so Steve Daley and Kevin Reeves arrived for £1 million each, small change now

I recently responded to a young friend who sent me the following link, one that so clearly and somewhat winsomely articulates a common position among many today. Here is the link, followed by response to my friend.
Because I continue to hold you in such high esteem with deep affection in Christ, I want to respond to this article you shared with me.
Biblical marriage (man and woman) is not a peripheral thing in Scripture, nor, as this piece contends, are there merely a handful of verses that condemn homosexuality. Even if there were only a few verses, does that mean we dismiss them? Are these verses (many of them actually) true or not? That is the questions this writer should be asking. There are hardly any verses about Trinity, but does this mean we doubt the reality? But in fact, [young friend], the Scriptures (Old and New) speak about same-sex relationships over and over again, both directly (as in Genesis 19; Leviticus 18; Leviticus 20; Romans 1; 1 Corinthians 6; 1 Timothy 1; Jude vs. 7) and indirectly included in 40-50 references to sexual immorality which is a more general term understood (for 2000 years) to refer to any sexual activity outside of marriage – always (again until recent days) understood to be one man and one woman.
Marriage (from Genesis 1 to Jesus' words in Matthew 19 about marriage, to the end of Revelation and the marriage supper of the Lamb) has always been about a man and a woman becoming "one flesh" – which is often equated merely with a physical union (which is of course important). But the one flesh more profoundly refers to you and me – we are the product (every human being is the product) of male and female union.
Too many people miss this, but <children> are the one flesh result of marriage. Same-sex marriage can never do this. Marriage, by definition, is (at least potentially) a life creating, life giving, and self-denying and self-sacrificing relationship between a man and a woman. This life-creating aspect is something, sadly but truly, same-sex relationships (as loving and sincere as they often are) can never achieve.
I think one of the reasons we try to equate marriage with any commitment between two people is that our culture has failed so hugely on marriage with radical expansion of divorce, unfaithfulness, and co-habitation. But despite these sad realities, the fundamental nature of marriage has not changed . . . until we have tried (for the sake of "equality" and "tolerance") to redefine marriage to be something is actually cannot be. I just posted on FB recently a link to a fine, philosophical piece about this – too many people can't handle this kind of careful analysis, but you have a good mind – challenge yourself to read it:
But let me say a few more things about the piece you sent me.
This blog post is right in this: the "wheat" and "tares" are difficult to distinguish – they do look alike. Jesus was saying that in the "visible church" – those who confess Christ – God alone knows the heart, and He alone is the Judge — Yes indeed! All good so far. But Jesus' point was also that when people "look" like they are believers, following Jesus, we are not to throw them out. The question is: "Do people who engage in same-sex relationships look like they are following Jesus?" Are they seeking to please God with their bodies and their actions? All of Christian history has said "No, such people have rebelled overtly and clearly against the order that God has established." Admittedly we are all rebels and sinner. The crucial aspect is that faith requires admitting sin and repenting, continually, from it.
This writer make a compelling emotional argument but, if I may say gently and humbly, a deeply confused argument intellectually and biblically. When he says, he (or she?) supports same-sex marriage because such a stance "fulfills everything I understand about what it means to follow Jesus," because this is what he thinks the Bible means, he has placed himself outside of the overwhelmingly consistent teaching and practice of Christian faith for 2000 years. But he does this because he believes the Bible is primarily a love story.
Is the Bible primarily a love story? No, it's the story about God glorifying Himself through creation, and redeeming creation from the Fall. Does this contain "love"? Certainly. But sometimes the most loving thing you can say to a friend is "listen to what God says about life – see your sin; admit it, confess it, and strive (even through continual stumbling and falling) to lean heavily on God's grace for salvation. Can a homosexual be a Christian? Certainly – when they admit that their inclination (just as much as the inclination toward gossip, rage, envy, theft, or heterosexual lust or adultery admits their sin), and seek to battle it by the grace of God.
Are some Christians hateful and bigoted bone-heads? Certainly. But does that then nullify the truth of the Bible? Praise God, it does not.
And finally, does believing in same-sex marriage condemn someone or make them a non-Christian? No – thankfully Romans 10:9 is still true. Salvation is not achieved or proven by all the issues we support or believe in, right or wrong. Salvation is by faith alone in Christ alone. But even the Christians in Corinth had to be taught that Temple prostitution (quite the norm in first century Corinth!) was not an option for those who sought to live in fellowship with Christ and His people.
Don't be persuaded by emotional arguments that are deeply flawed with respect to logic, history, and basic human complementary anatomy. I know you are a young woman who seeks to please God – keep working on this. Don't take the easy, popular path to cultural acceptance. And, if you still want to read more, take a look at my blog post – it's the article I just wrote on this for the Geneva Courier. Let me know what you think. It's here: https://mikebeates.wordpress.com/. Thanks for listening [friend]. I spend the time to write to you because you are important to me. Thanks for listening.

The fans of Ironman, can now finally fly side by side with him, when the Hong Kong Disneyland opens the Ironman ride next year. The theme park is based on Lantau island. The theme park just released a new video, showcasing the various elements and features that is being developed for 3 years.
"I think the audience in Hong Kong will go crazy for this experience. Anybody who goes to a Disney theme park loves color and spectacle and excitement and adventure, and that's all that Iron Man [Experience] is. It embodies all of those things. I didn't dream it would be such a big production and such a beautiful production. There's something about Iron Man that seems to fascinate people.", says Stan Lee in the video.
Hong Kong Disneyland attraction is estimated to have a cost of $100 million and will employ a newer generation model of the Advanced Technology Leisure Application Simulator, currently used in Star Tours–The Adventures Continue. The attraction will be located at the park's Tomorrowland section, in an area named "Stark Expo", adjacent to Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. In this 3-D Simulator Ride, Tony invites the visitors aboard the Iron Wing for a tour of Hong Kong, including the newly constructed Stark Tower. However, Hydra launches an attack on the city, forcing Tony to don the Iron Man armor and fight the menace alongside the Iron Wing.(Courtesy: Wikipedia)
"We're going to get on board. It's a brand new, high-tech ship," explains Walt Disney creative director Ted Robledo, "Imagine a very large Iron Man suit. [We're going to] fly over to the new Star Tower, where we're going to see the world's largest Arc Reactor, a very powerful, very valuable energy device, and get an up-close look at it."
Iron Man Experience is under construction in Tomorrowland at Hong Kong Disneyland and is expected to open January 11, 2017.

CHDs are one of the most prevalent birth defects, affecting 68 in 1,000 live births in the UK each year.
The British Heart Foundation-funded study was carried out by researchers at the MRC Centre for Epidemiology of Child Health based at the UCL Institute of Child Health, in collaboration with Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and The Freeman Hospital in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Their investigation shows that technological advancements in this area of paediatric medicine, such as surgery and intensive care, are delivering better outcomes for these children.
The authors considered population data from 1959 to 2009, investigating age, period and birth cohort trends in childhood mortality attributable to CHDs. Their results showed a dramatic decline in death rates, falling from 1,460 in 1959, to just 154 in 2009 for children 15 years and under. Infants under a year comprised over 60 per cent of deaths caused by CHDs between 1959 and 1963, but this fell to 22 per cent in 2004-2008. They also observed that death rates have fallen for both sexes in all age groups, but although the gap appears to be closing, males continue to have slightly higher death rates.
Lead author on the study, Dr Rachel Knowles, Clinical Research Fellow, comments: "This data is very useful as it illustrates the enormous benefit that current approaches to these conditions are bringing to these very ill children. Fifty years ago, the prognosis for a child born with a serious CHD was very bleak. Twenty years ago, it had little improved. Now, the story is entirely different. Clinicians at centres of excellence such as GOSH and The Freeman can offer a variety of complex surgical procedures to babies within their first month of life and with coinciding improvements in anaesthetic and intensive care, the overall picture is now much brighter."
The study is the first of its kind that looks specifically at age and birth cohorts and their relation to CHD mortality rates over such a long period of technological change. It will be useful in informing the future management of babies born with heart defects in the UK and across other global centres.
Examples of advances and medical innovations can be found in GOSH's Heart and Lung Breakthrough Guide.

The Lord Opened Her Heart
Acts 16:14
by Bob Wilkin
The Issue: God's Part and Our Part in Salvation
What is God's part and what is our part in salvation? There are few more difficult subjects than this one.
One extreme is to so emphasize God's sovereignty as to totally eliminate any human role in salvation at all.
Reformed theology does this. It suggests that unbelievers are like rocks, totally incapable of responding to God. How then can an unbeliever come to faith in Christ and be saved? Their answer is that logically (but not temporally) God regenerates unbelievers before they believe the Gospel. Many Reformed theologians teach that regeneration precedes faith. Since all born again people are saved, logically this means that unbelievers are born again and eternally saved before they believe the Gospel. It also means that people whom God has not chosen to regenerate are doomed to eternal condemnation even though they were totally incapable of responding to God in any way.
Another extreme is to so emphasize our role in salvation as to undercut God's sovereignty. Arminian theology does this. It suggests that an unbeliever is like a man drowning in a small lake. While he can't save himself without some help, he can save himself if he is given proper instructions on how to swim. He is capable of swimming safely to the shore. He just needs someone to show him how. In addition, Arminian theology teaches that regeneration is not necessarily permanent. A person is initially born again by choosing to follow Christ in obedience. He will only stay saved if he continues to follow Christ obediently.
The proper biblical position is somewhere in between. Regeneration doesn't precede faith. Unbelievers are capable of responding to God. However, no unbeliever would seek God on his own initiative (Rom 3:11, "There is none who seeks after God"). God is drawing all people to Himself (John 12:32, "And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself"). Because of that, they can respond. All of this can be seen in the verse for this study, Acts 16:14. It reads, "Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul."
First, let's consider God's sovereign role in the salvation of Lydia.
God's Role: He Drew Lydia to Himself
And He Opened Her Heart
Using a miraculous vision, the Macedonian vision (Acts 16:9), God sent Paul, Timothy, and Luke to the city where Lydia was living and doing business. If someone had not come and shared the Gospel with her, Lydia would not have come to faith in Christ.
God had been drawing Lydia to Himself since she was old enough to consider the general revelation of nature (Rom 1:20-21). At the time reported in Acts 16, He sent Paul to bring the Gospel to her. When Paul shared the Gospel with her, the Lord opened her heart so that she might heed the things spoken by Paul. Clearly if He had not opened her heart, whatever that means, she wouldn't have been able to believe the Gospel of Christ which Paul preached.
What exactly, then, does the expression the Lord opened her heart mean? Clearly symbolic language is being used. This has nothing to do with Lydia's literal heart. In Scripture the word heart (kardia) is normally used to refer to the inner person. It is the seat of intellect and emotion. The New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology (Vol 2, s.v., "Heart," p. 182) says, "A striking feature of the NT is the essential closeness of kardia to the concept of nous, mind… Heart and mind can be used in parallel (2 Cor 3:14f.) or synonymously (Phil 4:7)… Thus it is the person, the thinking, feeling, willing ego of man, with particular regard to his responsibility to God, that the NT denotes by the use of kardia."
Imagine a person who has a mental block. No matter how hard you tried, you couldn't get them to perceive that what you were saying was true. For example, people tend to have strong convictions about the death of Vince Foster. If you find someone who is absolutely convinced that Vince Foster committed suicide, it may be impossible to change their mind by pointing out all the evidence which might suggest otherwise. They can understand everything you say. They can repeat all of the points you make. Yet they aren't convinced because they have already made up their mind. They—or you!—have a mental block. Until that block is removed, they are incapable of believing that Vince Foster might have been murdered.
Similarly, unbelievers are convinced that the Gospel is not true. Until God opens their eyes, they won't believe that Jesus freely gives eternal life to people and that the sole condition is trusting Him for it. Compare 2 Cor 4:3-4 ("But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded…") and 1 Cor 2:14 ("For the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned"). When God opened Lydia's heart, He removed that mental block against the truth of the Gospel.
This doesn't mean, however, that unbelievers can't understand the Gospel. You've probably had the experience which I've had where you've explained the Gospel to someone and he or she was able to explain it back to you clearly and yet they didn't yet perceive it to be true.
Every year GES is audited (or reviewed) as part of our fiscal accountability. A few years back I gave some of our materials to the woman who was doing our audit. Later we spoke briefly on the phone and I was able to talk with her about the Gospel. She was a practicing Catholic and found what I was saying to be different than what she believed and had been taught. One year later, another auditor from the same firm came for the next year's audit. In passing he mentioned that the woman I had spoken with had commented to him at the time that we at GES believed some strange doctrine—that all you had to do to be saved was to trust in Christ and Him alone for eternal life! She understood what I said; but she didn't believe it. The Lord had not yet opened her heart. Interestingly, the young man to whom she confided this is a believer and he had a chance to tell her that what we are teaching is in reality true!
It may sound like I'm advocating the first position I described above. I am not. Unbelievers, as we shall soon see, are not incapable of seeking God. And, as we have already seen, God's work in the life of unbelievers does not wait until He opens their hearts. He is continually drawing people everywhere to Himself.
Yet there is some truth in the Reformed position. God is indeed sovereign. No one comes to Christ unless the Father draws him (John 6:44).
There is a second aspect of this conversion we need to consider. It is the part Lydia played.
Lydia's Role: She Sought God and Believed the Gospel
Like Cornelius in Acts 10, Lydia was anything but unresponsive to God. She was clearly seeking God before He opened her heart. Of course, as mentioned above, she was able to seek God only because He had been drawing her to Himself.
Paul and his company went to the riverside on the Sabbath day to find people with whom they might share the Good News (v 13). The reason they weren't in a synagogue is because there was none in Philippi. Jewish synagogues required the attendance of at least ten men. There weren't ten men in Philippi who were God-fearing Gentiles or devout Jews. There were, however, some God-fearing Gentile women. Lydia was one of these: "And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there."
Lydia was not even from Philippi. She was from Thyatira (v 14). Evidently she was in Philippi in order to sell her purple dye. Yet she went out of her way to find a prayer meeting that met by the riverside. The fact that only women were present did not deter her. Neither did the fact that the meeting was outside the city.
Almost certainly Lydia regularly attended synagogues and prayer meetings. This is suggested by Luke's remark that she "worshipped God." That most likely refers to the fact that she was a God-fearing Gentile (compare Acts 17:17). Her attitude may well have been that of the one expressed by the man of the Macedonian vision: "Come over to Macedonia and help us" (v 9).
God has determined that anyone who diligently seeks Him will ultimately find Him: "He has made from one blood every nation ...so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us" (Acts 17:27); "He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him" (Heb 11:6); "In every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him" (Acts 10:35).
Lydia was not totally uninvolved in the matter of coming to faith. She was not like a rock which has no spiritual sensitivity whatsoever. She had been responding to the light which God gave her. She was seeking God and was worshipping Him. And when He opened her heart, she believed the Gospel and was born again.
Let's see if we can put this all together. On the one hand, God was drawing Lydia to Himself. He sent someone to bring the Gospel to her. And He opened her eyes so that she could believe the Gospel and be saved. If any of those things had not occurred, Lydia would not have been born again. On the other hand, Lydia was a God-fearing Gentile who responded to the light she received, and when God opened her heart, she believed the Gospel.
This explains how an unbeliever can hear the Gospel and explain it back to you, yet without believing it. God has not yet opened his eyes to see that the Gospel is true, that it is "the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes" (Rom 1:16). It appears as foolishness to him.
This also explains how people's eyes can light up when you explain the Gospel to them. At that moment the Lord has opened their eyes. They get it! The grace of God which had eluded them now makes perfect sense.
The question of God's role and our role in eternal salvation is a very difficult one. However, God has given enough information for us to know both that God is sovereign and that we are capable of responding to Him. No one is saved apart from God's drawing him and opening his heart. Yet God doesn't force anyone to be saved and He doesn't hold anyone responsible for something which he can't possibly do. All who are born again have freely responded to God's drawing and have trusted in Christ and Him alone for eternal life.
Some practical applications of these truths to the believer come to mind: pray for and witness to the lost, and, rejoice that God has drawn you to Himself and that He has opened your heart.

I am new to this chat group. I'm Wyatt Shipley and my thoughts are that, those institutions that are labeled Religions, let them define the attributes of their religion.
I have been a Buddhist for over 20-years and I have spent over 18-years in Thailand. I just arrived from Thailand after being gone 18-years -- last month. So, it seems that I stepped into an alternate reality as far as Southern California is concerned. The great recession has caused some radical changes; not to mention what $5.00 will buy. Certainly not a happy meal at McDonalds.
There was a Military Coup in Thailand last May 22nd and that and the worst 3-months of my life made clear to me that it was time to go.
I am 58-years old, I had a Thai wife and was perfectly happy spending 9-years growing rice. Before that I was an English Teacher until I quit because teaching was killing me. I was never so happy as in December when I could walk among the tan and brown rice - 11-rai of land, and say I did this -- with a lot of help from my Thai friends and Family. Hard work? for 5-6 weeks - yeah, but it really wasn't that hard and I could fully practice Buddhist thought constantly. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to grow rice, but being Buddhist helps a lot.
So that is my intro- Wyatt - after 18-years - Back from the dead as my brothers and sisters call it: I call it stepping into the Twilight Zone. -So. Cal.
Best of everything to all
-- Wyatt

FDR Remarks at Dedication of Norman Wilson Memorial Hospital, Warm Springs, April 1, 1939
President Roosevelt's Remarks at the Dedication of the Norman Wilson Memorial Hospital Warm Springs, Ga., April 1, 1939
[There were several speakers before Roosevelt, one of which mentioned that a copper box was being buried in front of the hospital, the box containing various appliances for the handicapped, newspapers, and a note from Roosevelt. Roosevelt alluded to this box in his remarks.]
Dr. Irwin was right when he spoke of this new building as the attainment of one of our major goals that we have been striving for for a great many years. I think it was eleven years ago that Henry Toombs and I one night worked on some sketch plans for the Campus. At that time there was no Campus. There was the old wooden hotel that many of us remember and a few off-center, ramshackle cottages down at this end and a few similar off-center ramshackle cottages at the other end. There was no order, no plan. At that time Henry Toombs and I put down on paper the first sketch of what is now the Warm Springs Campus.
I am glad that Dr. Irwin has also told you something about the great strides in the care of infantile paralysis during these intervening years. If at that time we had done more on that original plan than to put a square down at this end of the proposed Campus and label it "Medical Center," if we had attempted to draw the plans of a Medical Center, medical science would have outdistanced us before the building was a year old.
Now, however, I think we all feel that we are working along lines of permanency in the development of medical care and that this building will last for generations to come because it has been designed right and built right.
So it is with great pleasure that I dedicate this building today, and I might add the thought that the braces and other implements which are about to be buried in the box are a symbol of what we are doing here at Warm Springs for the patients, getting rid of physical handicaps of every form and, where we cannot get rid of them altogether, making them so infinitesimal, so insignificant in the life of the individual that they no longer count.
I think that today can be put down as one of the great red-letter days in the history of the Foundation. We dedicate this building not only to those who are here now and those who will be here in the days to come, not only to that very small fraction of infantile paralysis sufferers that we now have room for, or will ever have room for at Warm Springs, but we dedicate this building to crippled boys and girls all over the United States and other countries for generations to come.

Filafel Sandwiches

No rating information for Filafel Sandwiches
Hide Rating Details
Filafel is a sandwich filler made up of small patties/burgers made mostly of chickpeas, or garbanzo beans that are fried in a small amount of oil until they have a crisp outside. And if you've never had one of these sandwiches before, then you're in for a treat!
Filafel is not all that difficult to make from scratch, so if you're up for that, go for it! But I find that the filafel mixes are easy to find and a snap to prepare.
The traditional dressing for filafel is tahini (sesame paste/butter), but unless you make your own hummus, you might have a hard time using up the rest of the jar. So I suggest using either packaged hummus (which contains tahini), or Annie's Naturals Goddess Dressing (not the green one), which is mostly tahini and olive oil.
1 box
filafel mix
oil, water, etc., as directed on filafel pkg.
1 pkg.
pitas, either flat or pocket-style
1 container
1 pkg.
feta cheese
cucumber, diced
roma tomatoes, diced
1 pkg.
1/2 bottle
Greek vinaigrette dressing (I like Kraft)
Prepare the filafel as directed on the package, and place cooked patties on a paper-towel-lined plate (to drain of any excess oil).
Assemble each sandwich by spreading hummus on the pita, then topping with filafel, cheeese, cucumber, tomatoes, and spouts to your liking, and pouring about a tablespoon of the dressing over the top of each sandwich.

Innovation is a social, interactive process and geography matters.
Researcher David Wolfe's studies of successful urban regions have shown how cities are the optimal sites for innovation because of the proximity and concentration of skills, knowledge, people and research capabilities. "Innovation is a contact sport and face-to-face interactions between people are often where new ideas come from. Cities offer multiple opportunities for contact, interaction and the exchange of ideas among highly skilled people," says Wolfe, a professor of political science at U of T Mississauga and director of the Program on Globalization and Regional Innovation Systems at the Munk School of Global Affairs.
In today's global economy, these inherent advantages make cities more important as sites for innovation — the translation of ideas and inventions into new products, processes and services that drive economic growth and prosperity. "Innovation is important for countries, economies and people because it is the source of an improved standard of living. If we can't innovate, we're not going to maintain or improve our standard of living," says Wolfe.
Canada is a country of predominantly medium- sized and small cities. In his book 21st Century Cities in Canada: The Geography of Innovation, Wolfe examined how successful large cities and mid-sized ones, like Saskatoon, have built upon and leveraged existing strengths in specific sectors to develop their innovation capacity and capitalize on emerging business opportunities.
Saskatoon built on its traditional agricultural strengths to become a centre of innovation and home to a large and fast-growing agricultural biotechnology cluster. The city developed and became the world leader in canola, now Canada's second-largest crop.
The concentration of federal and provincial research facilities, including the national Research Council's Plant Biotechnology Institute, and early establishment of Innovation Place, a thriving research and industry park deliberately located next to the University of Saskatchewan, enabled the city to develop its innovation capacity in a targeted and commercially viable way. large agribusiness multinationals also moved R&D programs to Saskatoon to be close to the publicly funded infrastructure and specialized expertise.
"Saskatoon has really focused on building its research assets, and local firms have capitalized on this dynamic research infrastructure to develop commercial biotechnology applications. Much of the collaboration that happens in the city seems to be done informally through personal contacts and brief consultations," says Wolfe, noting that it's common for individuals in firms to turn to a knowledgeable friend or acquaintance at the University of Saskatchewan or other research facility to gain knowledge to solve a problem.
larger cities like Toronto benefit from greater density, economic diversity and the vitality of new human capital and talent gained through international immigration. But medium-sized cities may find it easier to bring together key players in research, industry, education, civic associations and government to collaborate on, advocate for and implement new innovation and economic development policies and strategies for their community.
That social and civic engagement is key to successful innovation in cities. Says Wolfe: "People tend to think of innovation as a private activity, but there is a large social dimension too."

A UK contemporary menswear brand established in 2017. It is a knitwear focused label that specialized in creative knitting techniques and craftsmanship. A blended vision in knitted and woven apparels targeted to male with a sense of twist from formal to casual with a subtle playfulness.
@ Pitti Immagine Uomo 95
The brand was launched in 2013 with the objective of creating innovative knitwear, respecting Italian manufacture and the finest materials. First there was a collection of scarves in silk and cashmere with graphics inspired by street-art; then a luxury street collection of knitwear with skater world references, fine yarns and original embroidery.
Art of Scribble has made outstanding results with its own unique identity and its effortless graphic style. It has been recognized well with 'Sun-tech' - the special technique changes graphics when exposed to sunlight. T-shirts and sweatshirts with graphics that change when exposed to sunlight. Witty graphic jogger pants, caps, and scarves.
Constructed from locally adapted research patterns, Barena mimics the qualities of traditionally durable workwear, always with a modern aesthetic twist. Loose shapes, quiet precise tailoring, exquisite fabrics, attention to detail and confident versatility are the pillars of our design philosophy.
Created in 2013 by Amélie Le Roux, the brand reinterprets the classic Miki cap worn by the traditional Breton sailor. Unisex and timeless, reinterpreted with new fabrics, colors, and contemporary details, it is made by expert French craftsmen but keeps its original form: half beanie, half cap
The brand was created in 2014 from the need to interpret a style of clothing originating in the Italian roots of men with the sea inside them. The result was a heritage product that interprets the work clothing of seafarers, fishermen and sailing pioneers. The fabrics include selvedge denim and natural indigo cottons Made in Japan, Irish wools, hemp and Italian cottons.
The original spirit of French workwear – created by the factory founded by Gabriel Danton in Châtres sur Cher in long ago 1931 – today returns to life in this collection developed in Japan. Suits, blouson, pants, and uniforms for work are reinterpreted by rigor and a contemporary design that is Made in Japan.
Delirious is a brand that strives to set itself apart from the rest of the eyewear industry. It wants to accomplish this in every aspect; design, material, and manufacturing; our ultimate goal is to create a one-of-a-kind undertaking through one-of-a-kind products. Delirious dreams of a world where refined craftsmanship and the finest materials combine perfectly with the purity of form.
Eat Dust is a menswear brand, established in 2010 by longtime friends Rob Harmsen and Keith Hioco in Antwerp. At the heart of Eat Dust lies Rob & Keith's rebellious nature. They merge their passion for music, motorcycles and Americana with classic menswear into a contemporary lifestyle brand. Eat Dust puts great emphasis on craftsmanship, expertise, human dignity and respect.
Grenson was born in 1866 in Rushden, Northamptonshire. William Green, the founder, started making high quality shoes for London Gentlemen. Recently Grenson has undergone a new lease of life, helped by their focus on quality and modern design whilst never losing sight of their impressive heritage.
Produced in Torino but based in London, the outerwear brand moves forward with a strictly London-oriented sensibility. A sartorial approach and contemporary feeling come together in overcoats and blazers, which are developed in an extremely rich palette and in fine materials.
A disruptive new idea of what a fashion brand in the future can be. Founded by designer Kavita Parmar and Iñigo Puente, it is a result of their personal convictions about preserving the love of craft and many years of experience in design. From real indigo plant-dyed denim made in Japan to cashmere wool from Northern India and Nepal, the collection has grown to give the discerning modern consumer a wardrobe that tells a story.
Small is beautiful. At Howlin' we strive for timeless, playful products that are made with care. So whether it is a scarf or a shaggy waistcoat; all our products are individually manufactured and hand finished by traditionally skilled craftsmen in either Scotland or Ireland using the highest quality yarns possible.
J-B-J uses traditional ancient Indian symbols and translates it to a modern ready-to-wear collection. This creative background suits the multicultural society we have today perfectly. J-B-J believes that the ancient embroidery techniques combined with a contemporary view can lead to a unique piece.
Tee Library tells about stories. As a graphics based brand, Tee Library recreates the stories into wearable image. Curated stories, elaborate graphics and well-made t-shirts are the foundation of Tee Library. 'Tee Library AW19 Workmanship' highlights on the value of making things with our own hands.
At the beginning in 2010, National Standard was one of the first French brands of premium sneakers. Aestheticism is a core element of the brand. From sneakers to accessories to stores, material assembly, attention to detail and design are in the National Standard DNA.
The key subject for FW19 collection is Contemporary Heritage. The combination of well established raw materials with new technological components like hiking derived hardware, added a new level of originality and detailing. As a result, the collection is a mix and match of colours, shapes and special finishes, uniting vintage references with new materials, matching heritage (made in Italy) craftsmanship with high end innovation.

Alf Herrmann Lodge residents judge Christmas card competition
WHAT do drawing competitions, prizes and Christmas have in common?
The simple answer is the Royal Freemasons' Benevolent Institution's (RFBI) annual Christmas card competition.
Held at the RFBI's Alf Herrmann Lodge in Leeton, the competition has been running for five years and has become a much-loved tradition with residents, staff and schools.
Each year, drawings made by students are judged by residents, who then choose one winner from each school.
It is always a tough decision and this year was no exception, according to the lodge's lifestyle officer Joanne Edwards.
"We received so many designs this year, it was amazing," she said.
This year's winners were:
- Amy Kinsella from Gralee School
- Grace Curry from Parkview Public School
- BJ Russell from Wamoon Public School
- Scarlett Morris from Leeton Public School
The winners were announced at Alf Herrmann Lodge recently and each student was awarded with vouchers to purchase books for themselves and their schools.
The students also took the time to chat with the residents and impart some of their own festive cheer.
RFBI knows Christmas is a very special time and residents and staff alike enjoy getting into the festive spirit and especially enjoy being involved in the card competition.
To view all of the winning designs from RFBI villages across NSW and ACT, visit rfbi.com.au.

1967 report on smoking
and health*
A report, "Health Consequences of
Smoking," which summarizes 31,h
years of research, has been released
°Reprinted from Public Health Reports, De-cember
by the Public Health Service. The re-port
concludes that the 1964 findings
of the Surgeon General's Advisory
Committee on Smoking and Health
have been confirmed and, in many
ways, strengthened.
Presented in two parts, part 1 sets
forth current information on the
health consequences of smoking and
part 2 provides technical reports on
the relationship of smoking to car-diovascular
disease, chronic broncho-pulmonary
disease, cancer, and other
1. Cigarette smokers have substan-tially
higher rates of death and dis-ability
than their nonsmoking coun-terparts
in the population; this means
that cigarette smokers tend to die at
earlier ages and experience more
days of disability.
2. A substantial portion of earlier
deaths and excess disability would
not have occurred if those affected
had never smoked.
3. If it were not for cigarette
smoking, practically none of the
earlier deaths from lung cancer would
have occurred; neither would have a
substantial portion of the earlier
deaths from chronic bronchopulmo-nary
disease, commonly diagnosed as
chronic bronchitis or pulmonary em-physema,
nor a portion of the earlier
deaths of cardiovascular origin. Ex-cess
disability from chronic pulmo-nary
and cardiovascular diseases
would also be less.
4. Cessation or appreciable reduc-tion
of cigarette smoking could delay
or avert a substantial portion of
deaths which occur from lung cancer,
a substantial portion of the earlier
deaths and excess disability from
chronic bronchopulmonary diseases,
and a portion of the earlier deaths
and excess disability of cardiovascu-lar
The report points out that, since
the 1964 report, the emphasis of the
present problem has veered from the
question of whether cigarette smok-ing
causes disease to the following
more precise questions:
1. How much mortality and excess
disability are associated with smok-ing
2. How much of this early mor-tality
and excess disability would not
have occurred if people had not taken
up cigarette smoking?
3. How much of this early mor-tality
and excess disability could be
averted by cessation or reduction of
cigarette smoking ?
4. What are the biomechanisms
whereby these effects take place and
what are the critical factors in these
Among the important research
projects which have added to the
knowledge since the 1964 report are

Of general interest
continued from page 252
new information from four continuing
population studies on the relationship
of smoking and mortality and a
national survey on the relationship
between smoking and illness. The
extent of the association between
cigarette smoking and early deaths
and excess disability is suggested in
the following statements from the
new report:
Of men between the ages of 35
and 60, approximately one-third of
all deaths are "excess" deaths in the
sense they would not have occurred as
early as they did if cigarette smokers
had the same death rates as non-smokers.
Cigarette smoking is now the most
important cause of chronic broncho-pulmonary
diseases and greatly in-creases
the risk of dying from these
Men who smoke cigarettes have a
death rate from coronary heart dis-ease
70 percent higher than that of
nonsmokers. This rate increases to
200 percent and even higher in the
presence of other known "risk fac-tors"
such as high blood pressure
and high serum cholesterol.
Seventy-seven million days of work
are lost each year in the United
States which would not have been lost
if cigarette smokers had the same
rates of illness as nonsmokers.
A relationship between cigarette
smoking and death rates from peptic
ulcer has been confirmed, and data
suggest now that a similar relation-ship
exists between cigarette smoking
and morbidity from this cause.

The government has approved on Wednesday a draft decree establishing the General Authority of the Economic Zone of Suez Canal, to manage the Suez Canal Zone, the cabinet said in a statement.
The authority will own state-owned lands and establishments in the zone. According to the law, the authority's chairman of the board of directors must submit an annual report to the Prime Minister on the activities in the zone.
The government has agreed on proposing a draft law of amendments on the law for Economic Zones of a Special Nature 83/2003. The law will be a legislative framework for investing in the Suez Canal, converting the area into an economic authority that has capabilities equivalent to ministries, governorates, and authorities.
The Suez Canal area will be converted into an economic authority and will work as a single-window in completing all the investors' procedures, separate from all ruling legislations of economic activity in Egypt.
The project, which targets public and private investments, aims to lure foreign investment, develop industries and export to gain foreign currency "as well as to commit itself to the development of new and high technology industries", according to the General Authority for Free Zones and Investment (GAFI).
After a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, the government also approved a contract between Egypt Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) and Siemens to establish three electricity stations and a long-term maintenance contract for a period of 12 years.

Mass Torts: Drug & Medical Device Injury
Millions of Americans rely on medications or medical devices to treat serious health conditions. Unfortunately, in some cases, severe adverse side effects can lead to a host of new problems for the patient.
While it is impossible to guarantee absolute safety when it comes to drug effects and medical devices, in some cases the drug or device maker may have known about certain adverse side effects but failed to disclose the risk to medical professionals or the public.
If you suffered adverse side effects from a drug or medical device, you may be eligible to file a drug injury lawsuit to seek compensation for your injuries.
Types of Drug Injuries
Drugs are designed to treat a wide variety of health conditions. Therefore, drug side effects vary widely based on the type of drug and an individual's reaction to that drug. Some common side effects of drugs include nausea, gastrointestinal issues, skin reactions, drowsiness, and antibiotic rash.
The manufacturers of drugs and medical devices are required to list the common medication side effects associated with the product on the product's label. This information allows a consumer to know if the drug side effects he or she is experiencing are normal or if medical attention is necessary. Failure to seek medical attention for dangerous prescription side effects may lead a person to suffer a catastrophic drug injury, which may have lifelong effects and diminish a person's quality of life.
Who Is Responsible for Drug Safety?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates drugs and medical devices. The federal agency is responsible for evaluating medications and medical devices for their safety and efficacy. The FDA also may choose to approve a drug or medical device only to treat specific conditions. The approved conditions and safety risks are listed in the safety information that accompanies the drug or medical device.
Physicians who opt to use the drug to treat any unspecified condition are prescribing the drug for "off-label" use. While physicians are permitted to prescribe drugs for an off-label use, drug makers are not allowed to promote the drug for an off-label use. Drug manufacturers are only allowed to promote their drugs to treat illnesses that the FDA approved the drugs for.
Drug and medical device manufacturers have a duty to ensure that their products are safe and that they comply with FDA regulations before they put the products on the market. Medical devices and drugs must be thoroughly and reliably tested to ensure their safety and efficacy before they can be approved to enter the market, and they must disclose all test results with the FDA. If they fail to do so, drug and medical device makers may be subject to legal liability.
Types of Product Liability Claims
Plaintiffs who have been injured by a medical device defect or a dangerous drug may be eligible to file a product liability or personal injury lawsuit. There are three types of product liability cases: design defects, marketing defects, and manufacturing defects.
Design Defects: A design defect is a product liability claim that refers to cases in which it is foreseeable that a drug or medical device will cause injury because of its design. If the drug maker is aware that the drug could be dangerous, it has a responsibility to conduct extra studies or reconfigure the product to avoid or reduce the risk of injury.
Marketing Defects: In some cases, the manufacturer or other affiliated company provides consumers with inadequate warnings or inadequate instructions about how to use the product. Some manufacturers fail to warn consumers and medical professionals about the foreseeable risks a product poses. In these cases, the manufacturer or another negligent party could be held liable if a person suffers a drug side effect that was foreseeable.
Manufacturing Defects: Sometimes mistakes occur during the manufacturing process that can cause a product to be defective and potentially cause harm to a consumer. Once the manufacturer becomes aware that a manufacturing defect has occurred, it has a responsibility to notify consumers and may decide to recall the product over safety concerns.
If you or a loved one has experienced an adverse reaction from a drug or medical device, you may have a legal claim.
Drugs & Medical Devices Under Investigation
Below are a list of drugs and medical devices facing allegations for defects that have seriously injured patients:
- Xarelto: Xarelto is a new generation blood thinner that has been linked to serious and life-threatening bleeding incidents without an antidote to limit bleeding damage.
- IVC Filter: Inferior Vena Cava Filters, or IVC Filters, are small web-like devices implanted in the in the main vein of patients at risk of blood clots which may lead to damage such as a pulmonary embolism. However, these devices have been linked to migration, vein penetration, and fracture, leading to serious complications.
- Physiomesh (hernia mesh): Physiomesh is a hernia mesh product made by Ethicon, a Johnson & Johnson company. These hernia mesh products are allegedly linked to adhesions, obstructions, migration, infections, and hernia recurrence.
- Talc Powder (baby powder): Talc powder is used in common products such as baby powder and cosmetics, but this common product has also been linked to ovarian cancer.
- Essure: Essure is a non-surgical permanent birth control option that is less invasive than tubal ligation, but several Essure patients report that they have suffered serious pain, bleeding, organ perforation, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancies, and unwanted pregnancies.
- Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics: Several common antibiotics have been linked to aortic aneurysms and aortic dissections. The antibiotics linked to these side effects include Avelox, Levaquin, and Cipro.
- Hip Implants: Several metal-on-metal hip implants have been linked to serious side effects including hip implant failure, hip dislocation, metal poisoning, cancer, and tissue death.
- Shoulder Implants: Shoulder implants have been linked to a high fracture rate, metal toxicity, bone and tissue damage, erosion, and dislocation.
- Invokana: The diabetes drug Invokana has been linked to serious side effects such as kidney failure and ketoacidosis.
- Heartburn Drugs: A class of heartburn medications known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) allegedly increase the chance of developing chronic kidney disease and an increased risk of a heart attack or heart failure. PPI heartburn drugs include Nexium, Prilosec, Prevacid, Dexilant, Protonix, and Aciphex.
Find Out How to File a Defective Drug Lawsuit
If you or a loved one has suffered a medical device injury or dangerous drug side effect, you may qualify to file a drug injury lawsuit. You may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and other damages you experienced as a result of the drug or medical device problems.
Contact the attorneys at Bradley/Grombacher LLP to discuss your legal options. If you have a potential case, your defective drug lawyer will work tirelessly on your behalf to put together a compelling case and help you get the compensation you deserve.

I have never been much into home ownership but the housing market in Umeå is what it is. After spending months looking for somewhere more permanent with hundreds of people answering the same ads, we simply gave up. With two small (and highly destructive) kids, we are obviously not the best tenants and I can understand why landlords pick someone else given how strong demand is. So, in the end, we had little other choice than buying. Nevertheless, had someone told me five years ago that I would end up buying a row house in Northern Sweden, it would definitely have been a stretch to my imagination.
While we still do not know the exact number, the street name will be "Lyktvägen" once all the houses are built so please come and visit!

Tyler, TXHome Menu
The mission of the Tyler Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is to plan for the safe and efficient movement of people and goods and attainment of clean air regulations for the Tyler urban area and Smith County.
The City of Tyler serves as the administrative agency of the Tyler Area MPO. The Governor designates MPO's for all urban areas over 50,000 in population. The Tyler urbanized area was designated an MPO in 1974. The MPO, in cooperation with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), is responsible for carrying out the urban transportation process as required by federal legislation. The MPO is intended to provide a forum for cooperative decision making concerning transportation improvements by the principal elected officials of the local governments. The MPO provides continuity of various transportation planning and improvement efforts throughout the Tyler urbanized area. The Tyler MPO consists principally of two standing committees, the Policy Committee and the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC).
The transportation planning study area for the Tyler urbanized area includes the City of Tyler and several other developing areas such as Gresham, Lindale, New Chapel Hill, Noonday and Whitehouse. The Study Area Boundary is contiguous with the incorporated cities of Whitehouse on the southeast, and New Chapel Hill on the east, and Hideaway Lake and Lindale to the north. The study area is intended to include those areas outside the urbanized area most likely to experience urbanization during the 20-year planning horizon.
The MPO is responsible for the "3-C" planning process (cooperative, continuous, comprehensive) to conduct basic planning activities. Transportation planning is a process of projecting future transportation needs, investigating and evaluating alternative actions for meeting those needs, assessing the financial ability of the community to implement those actions, and recommending reasonable strategies based on needs and available resources. Elected officials and others in decision-making roles need access to this information to help them develop policies, programs, and projects.
The transportation planning process is continuous. Conditions affecting the transportation system, such as population growth, land use patterns, employment changes, traffic volumes, etc., are monitored. Alternate means for alleviating congestion are identified, and decisions are made on which projects are to be carried out. The proposed projects are evaluated in relation to expected funding levels, prioritized, and listed in order of importance to the community. All transportation modes for the entire metropolitan area are studied and addressed in a comprehensive manner. The transportation planning process is structured to include cooperative input and direction from participating cities, counties, agencies, and the public. This results in the development of a Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), which encompasses the 3-C planning process.
Additionally, the MPO is responsible for the development of the annual Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), which details the planning work activities of the MPO on a yearly basis. The MPO is also responsible for the development of the biennial Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), which is a list of highway enhancement and transit projects to be funded during a 3-year time frame.

Recently as I was going through Woolies on one of my after work runs I was browsing the skincare/cosmetics isle and I found these little Nutrogena pods. Turns out they were overnight face masks. There were two different types hydrating and smoothing. The first one I went for was the smoothing and the second one wass actually given to me (thanks Squid) and it was the hydrating one.
The pod of face mask itself is about the same size as a coffee pod. It's 10mL in volume and is a single use thing. The one I got cost $5 so that works out to about 50c/ml which isn't too bad. Now you have to spread it all over your face and neck. It doesn't rub in so straight off the bat it looks a bit suss. I tied my hair back and spread the opaque gel like shenanigans all over my face. Applying it with a brush would be super handy but I didn't even think of that at the time. Then you go to bed and sleep with it on. If you're someone who moves a lot in your sleep or is wierd about pillow cases I'd put a towel over your main pillow. I have kids though and our bed has been spewed in alot so random stuff all over the linen isn't a big deal.
Now I wasn't sure what I was expecting but when I woke up my face felt a bit greasy. The first time I wiped the excess off like the pod said and it was great. My skin felt incredible and looked so good. The second time I applied my ususal cleanser to the mask to wash any excess off. Don't do that because my cleanser turned to gel and it freaked me the hell out. It was also harder to get off any excess. My skin still felt great. It's worth noting that the hydrating one made my skin so smooth it felt greasy. It wasn't greasy or shiny but it was soft. Kinda like when you touch a snake and you think it's wet but really it's not it's just soft.
I would buy this mask again particularly if I had a big event to go to because it felt so nice. For $5 it wont steer you wrong.

"Movie" or "Moving picture"
A film, also called a movie, motion picture, theatrical film or photoplay, is a series of still images which, when shown on a screen, creates the illusion of moving images due to the phi phenomenon. This optical illusion causes the audience to perceive continuous motion between separate objects viewed rapidly in succession. The process of filmmaking is both an art and an industry. A film is created by photographing actual scenes with a motion picture camera; by photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques; by means of CGI and computer animation; or by a combination of some or all of these techniques and other visual effects.
The word
, short for cinematography, is often used to refer to the industry of films and filmmaking or to the art of filmmaking itself. The contemporary definition of cinema is the art of simulating experiences to communicate ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty or atmosphere by the means of recorded or programmed moving images along with other sensory stimulations.
