＜p＞In 1877 in Rochester, New York, George Eastman couldn’t understand why picture-taking was so difficult. Having left school at fourteen to support his mother and two sisters, George decided to find out by making photography his hobby. He packed up glass plates, a plate holder, a tent, a heavy tripod, a thick piece of black cloth, a water jug, and chemicals and set off to take his first photograph.＜/p＞ ＜p＞George realized that not many people could own a camera ー they were too expensive and the size of today’s microwave ovens! But how could he make picture-taking easier? Eventually, George created dry plates, and they were such a success that he opened his own dry-plate company in 1881. But this was only the beginning ー George went on to invent film and the Brownie camera. The rest is history.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Monica Kulling’s spunky, playful text is beautifully complemented by the stunning pen-and-ink with watercolor illustrations of artist Bill Slavin. ＜strong＞It’s a Snap! George Eastman’s First Photo＜/strong＞ introduces a new series for Tundra ー the Great Idea Series ー a must-have for schools, libraries, and parents alike.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

It is a much-needed hearing. We have, ladies and gentlemen, an extraordinary crisis on our hands confronting our nation, and that is a hunger crisis. And it is very important because there is no Committee up here that is more highly regarded to deal with the issue of hunger and food security than our House Agriculture Committee. And this goes for both Democrats and Republicans. We come to this hearing jointly to get the information, to get the facts, to get some understanding as to why, right now, we have 12 million of our children in this country going to bed hungry and malnourished every night. We are, indeed, the greatest country in the world. We are the most powerful country in the world, and now, today, we are going to show truly how great we are and how powerful we are as a nation, because we are going to solve this hunger crisis. And we start today.＜/p＞ ＜p＞We know that we have saved lives, although we have also lost lives. But where are we now? We continue to see lines, waiting hours to pick up a box of food. We see video footage of children saying they are just plain hungry. I was very moved by the report on CNN where they showed this young lady, in tears. ''What is wrong,'' they said. She said, ''I am starving, and my family is.'' And even if we are now seeing a light at the end of the tunnel as vaccination rates increase, we know that SNAP enrollments are way up, and food banks continue to be flooded with people who have never before had to seek help.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Let's look at the numbers very briefly. Prior to the pandemic in February of 2020, there were 36.8 million people in our country on SNAP. By April of 2020, SNAP rolls were up to 40 million people, and that increased to nearly 43 million by September of last year. What can we anticipate in the future? The Congressional Budget Office in February released their baseline projections for the next 10 years for SNAP. They predict that the negative effects of the pandemic will continue through most of 2022, with an average total of 44 million of our precious Americans on SNAP next year, before it begins to decrease in 2023, hopefully and prayerfully. Even if this virus disappears, we are going to be living with its aftermath for some time. This is why I have said over and over that this hearing is perhaps our most critical, because folks, as you well know, we can do without a lot of things, but we cannot survive without food.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
