Create new UIImage by adding shadow to existing UIImage?

I needed a method that would accept an UIImage as a parameter and return a slightly larger UIImage with shadows. The posts here have been very helpful to me so here's my method. The returned image has a centered 5px shadow on each side.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
