Ski Films
Skiing in movies, like the sport itself, grew more prevalent beginning in the 1930s, when it was a pastime of the elite, with depictions reflecting changes in technique, fashion and social climate. World War II saw skiing featured in a dozen films dealing with that conflict. Fueled by postwar prosperity, the sport exploded in the 1950s--filmmakers followed suit, using scenes on snow-covered slopes for panoramic beauty and the thrill of the chase.

He also discusses the participation of women and children in what for much of its history remained a...

Doing Plastics Business in Poland 2005
Poland is the third biggest country in Central & Eastern Europe in terms of population (around 40 million) and the second largest in terms of GDP (US $189.3 billion at the end of 2002). Key plastic markets are expanding: around 360,000 new cars were sold in 2003 and in January-March 2004 a total of 27,695 homes were completed. The use of packaging is around 50% of that found in the old EU states, and is expanding with a current estimated value of US $3 billion. This conference was designed for companies wanting to do business with Poland. Papers at this event discussed the legal aspects, markets, culture and local funding and provided a discussion forum for potential investors, importers and exporters, together with Polish industry representatives and market experts.
