Mindfulness...What is it? How does it work? Is it just a passing trend?
Undoubtedly you have heard the term mindfulness. Perhaps it was a course promoted through social media to "sign up for 8 weeks of meditation", a reference in your favorit podcast or your employer looking to add Self Care to your list of To Do. It seems as though everyone from accountants to zen yoga instructors are all jumping on this bandwagon...but what is it really all about?
What is Mindfulness
Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, founder of the UMASS Medical Stress Reduction Clinic, defines mindfulness as
“the awareness that arises from paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment and non-judgmentally”.
In simpler terms, it is noticing how you feel in the present moment by focusing your awareness and quieting the busy mind. Mindful practice (and yes, it is a practice that needs to be done consistently to master) comes in many forms such as meditation, guided visualization and yoga. Instead of thinking of it as a way to get rid of all negative racing thoughts, consider it more learning how to live with thoughts and emotions and have control over your response to them.
How does Mindfulness help?
The benefits of Mindfulness reach into many dimensions of health. A consistent practice can decrease blood pressure, decreases feelings of depression and anxiety, increases cognitive function and memory and can boost immunity.
The best thing about mindfulness is you do not need any equipment, just your breath and seat. Find a quiet spot where you will not be interrupted and can sit for 10 minutes. No need for fancy mats or pillows, the chair you are sitting in now, the floor or even your bed will do just fine. I actually take a few minutes when I get to the gym to sit in my car...there really are no rules!
Eyes closed or open? That is up to you. If your mind is constantly wondering what is going on past your closed eyes, keep them open and rest your gaze gently a few inches in front of you. Keep an active spine. If lying in bed as you prepare for sleep. lie on your back or in a comfortable position.
The thought of sitting still for 10 straight minutes may seem intimidating. Start slow. Aim for a 2-3 minute meditation. Take advantage of the many free meditations available through apps or online. A few of my favorite include Calm, FitOn, and Yoga with Adriene.
As you practice, you will learn to acknowledge your wandering mind and allow forgiveness when your find your thoughts drifting. As with any skill, the more you practice the better you will get. You may find yourself sitting for longer sessions and using it to cope with different situations and emotions. Be sure to find a time where you can practice consistently each day. It should be as important as bushing your teeth or taking your vitamins.
Do you have a mindful practice?
What is your favorite mindfulness practice?

Cardiff Council workers have taken to the streets to demonstrate against plans for millions of pounds of cuts to services.
The authority - Wales' largest - is trying to save £22m to balance its books, but campaigners say the cuts will cost 300 jobs and put extra pressure on the support being given to some of the most vulnerable people in the community.
The cuts are similar to those being planned in countries right across Wales - as our business correspondent Carole Green reports.

No Grease Bushings in Osage Beach, MO
No Grease Required Bushings in Osage Beach, MO
Come one, come all, and rejoice because, at ETCOM, we have developed a revolutionary new product for vehicles using S-Cam foundation brakes, which require bushings for Osage Beach, MO residents. Our new no-grease bushings are unlike the older grease-requiring models because they do not need constant servicing and lube application to ensure they work correctly. The more aged grease-requiring bushings are typically made from copper and plastic, which, when subjected to hotter and cooler temperatures, can cause them to contract and expand, and this process, over time, leads to wear and tear on your tires and braking systems. Our new grease-free bushings are designed to last and withstand all these significant temperature changes better in Osage Beach, MO, than the older models.

PEEK INTO THE PAST: Transport hub of Burnley town centre
OLD photos of the most familiar parts of Burnley town centre are very popular with readers of this series. I get the most questions and comments about this part of town so am always careful to be as accurate as possible with views like the one today.
As you can see, the image is of the part of St James’s Street, now pedestrianised, but formerly the bus station and, before that, the main stopping place for the trams. In fact, in this picture, something of the tram era survives though buses have taken over.
In the middle of the photo notice the clock. This, for many years, in both the tram and bus eras, was very much part of Burnley centre. It was vital for telling the time in an age when not everyone had their own watch and this clock regulated, in their days, the tram and bus timetables. Lots of Burnley people, and doubtless those from outside town, arranged to meet under the famous clock attached to the office of Burnley’s Tramways Department.
In the photo, if you look carefully, you will notice some of the buses are awaiting new passengers while parked at pedestrian islands. These islands were created in the tram era and it was once a common sight for as many as four trams to be parked next to each other in this part of St James’s Street. The street itself had been designed to be wider than the rest of the highway and it was here t Burnley’s Open Market was held once it had moved from Church Street in the 18th Century.
The vehicles themselves are interesting and they help us to date the image which is taken from a postcard. Unfortunately, the card is unused and bears no stamp and is not franked. Similarly there is no printer’s name on the card, though the declaration, on the back, that “this is a real photograph” probably tells us all we need to know.
The bus nearest the camera is numbered 154, its registration number HG 6496. From this, if we consult Alan Catlow’s “Burnley, Colne & Nelson Joint Transport”, we learn the vehicle was a Leyland TD5C, on it way to Trawden (route 8). The bus was bought in 1938 and saw service with the local transport undertaking until 1955 when it was sold to Bird’s of Stratford. So thorough is Alan that he even noted the vehicle was fitted with a 7.4 litre oil engine and a crash gearbox in February, 1948.
There are a number of other buses in the photo but only one can be identified. This vehicle is the one to the left of the bus we have already discussed. Its fleet number is 74 and, using the same method of identification, we find the bus was a Leyland TD3 bought new in 1934 and seeing local service until 1951 when it was disposed of to the Burnley firm of Used Units in Whittlefield.
As I indicated, the information about the buses helps us to date the postcard which, therefore, is based on a photo taken in 1951 or before but no earlier than 1934. The vehicles I have mentioned were both put to good use at the time of the Second World War and, though I cannot recall seeing a TD3, at least in Burnley, I know I have travelled on a number of Leyland TD5Cs.
A photo like the one we publish today takes us back more than 60 years to the town centre many of us preferred. If we start at the right, you can probably see “WH” on a drawn awning. These are the first two letters in the name of a company which is still with is, W.H. Oddie, the confectioners. Though the building they occupy in this picture still remains, the firm now has other premises in the town centre.
The next building is the Grand Super Cinema which was built in 1922. It was designed by the Burnley firm of architects, Lancaster, Son & Parkinson and the cinema, which could accommodate 950, was reputed to be one of the best-equipped in the provinces. When I was a boy the building was shuttered and closed but the cinema next door, the Palace, was in full swing and was one of the few I visited.
The buildings on the left of the postcard are not as clear as the ones we have looked already. Right in the middle there is Burton’s, the men’s outfitters, which is still there. These premises occupy the site of the Bull Hotel of 1819, once Burnley’s most important hotel though the store dates from 1933 and was pretty new when the photo was taken.
Coming along St James’s Street there is the Old Red Lion, once a fierce rival of the Bull. This side of the Red Lion, as now, you can see the Swan Hotel, now the oldest building in Burnley town centre. Behind it is part of Burnley’s old lock up which dates from the riots of 1817.
The row of shops, extreme left, housed some of Burnley’s better known businesses. They include the White Lion Hotel, Greenhalgh’s the dry cleaners, Ralph Mason’s the famous tripe dealers, the Lubeck Milk Bar, the Clock Face Hotel and the furniture dealers Cavendish’s.
Of these the milk bar, with its distinctive white frontage at ground floor level, can clearly be seen. Conversely, the only other building we can identify clearly is Cavendish’s, the building with the white tilework at the upper floor level.
There is another subject which is worthy of comment – the mill chimneys, five of them, I think, in the background. Most of the better postcard makers excluded industrial images from their work. Here we see the mill chimneys which, when the photo was taken, were representative of Burnley in a very real way.
I suppose it could be said that, though the mills and their chimneys might have defined Burnley, postcard buyers wanted to see shopping parades, churches, museums and leafy municipal parks. Most of Burnley’s postcards fall into these latter categories and it is my view the firms which made the cards believed mills did not add to the attractiveness of the image being sold.
A splendid view of Old Burnley – my opinion of this new image which has only recently been added to the Briercliffe Society’s Collection.

|Use time||49 (Extremely Slow)|
|Tooltip|| Shoots a powerful, high velocity bullet|
Right click to zoom out
|Internal Item ID: 1254|
The Sniper Rifle is a Hardmode post-Plantera ranged weapon that fires a bullet with extremely high damage, though at a far slower rate of fire than most ranged weapons, and has a "zoom" feature. It cannot be auto-fired. The Sniper Rifle is uncommonly dropped by Skeleton Snipers in the Dungeon during Hardmode, only after Plantera has been defeated.
The Rifle's zoom capability is identical to the Rifle Scope and the Binoculars' abilities, whereby the screen scrolls temporarily in the direction of the mouse cursor while holding the right-click button, essentially extending your viewing range in one direction.
The Sniper Rifle has a base 19% critical strike chance as opposed to the usual 4%.
Its best modifier is Unreal.
- The Rifle Scope or Sniper Scope used along with the Sniper Rifle will increase zoom slightly. The exact increase depends on your game screen resolution. For reference, at 800x600, view is increased by 3 tiles; at 1680x1050, 7 tiles.
- Musket Balls and Silver Bullets shot from this weapon gain the effects (but not damage) of High Velocity Bullets.
- Zooming will update the Minimap. The same holds true for the Rifle Scope, Sniper Scope, and Binoculars.
- As all damage bonuses are calculated in percentages, the Sniper Rifle's high base damage greatly benefits from equipment and modifier bonuses.
- Although the Sniper Rifle pairs nicely with Exploding Bullets (killing multiple targets, compensating for the low fire rate) one must be very careful, as self-damage from the sniper explosive rounds are easily enough to 2 shot kill most players.
- Since enemies can only spawn while off-screen, using the Rifle's zoom ability continuously can cause far fewer enemies to spawn from that direction.
- Aside from the Revolver, it has the highest ranged velocity in the game.
- The Sniper Rifle has the highest base damage of any weapon. Only non-weapon explosives- the Bunny Cannon, Dynamite and Explosives- deal more damage under normal circumstances.

I got all my hose picked up and stored for that long winter season
I cleaned out the woodstove and readied the kindling and logs for that time when neither Terry or I can’t handle the cold house anymore
A major winter blast is heading our way. The weather people say Thursday the daily high will be 49* —Winter is coming, just on the edge of sight. Floating in the jet stream ready to develop into reality.

In some cases, the type of physical restraint can be dangerous or harmful to the resident. One of the methods used to convince nursing home staff to stop using physical restraint is to encourage them to try it themselves. The fact is that restraints are harmful to nursing home residents, and it is to be hoped that the number of restrained patients will continue to decline. This is because some facilities have used fixation as a means of convenience rather than necessity.
Nursing homes have started to reduce the use of restraints, but they are still used more than necessary. Caregivers need to carefully consider these situations and use least restraint methods when possible.
What are the rules for the use of restraints?
After restraint has been terminated, the interprofessional team should debrief with the patient, family or surrogate decision-maker to discuss the intervention, previous interventions and alternatives to restraint. The use of restraint should be continuously assessed by the healthcare team and reduced or discontinued as soon as possible. In emergency situations, nurses may use restraints without consent if there is a serious risk to the patient or others, and only if all alternative measures have been unsuccessful. Fixation should only be used for short periods of time when prevention, de-escalation and crisis management strategies have failed to ensure the safety of the person and others.
Healthcare teams use restraint for a variety of reasons, such as to protect patients from harming themselves or others after all other measures have failed. Patients should never be restrained as a punishment, for convenience or as an alternative to adequate staffing.
What must be written in the restraint order?

Union Textiles Minister K Sambasiva Rao on Thursday resigned from the Union Cabinet protesting bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, fuelling speculation that he may join Bharatiya Janata Party.
The five-time Congress MP from Andhra Pradesh confirmed reports that he had met BJP President Rajnath Singh but said he was not in talks for joining the saffron party.
If he joins the BJP, Rao would be the second Congress minister from Seemandhra to switch over to the principal opposition party after Purandeswari, who quit Congress protesting division of Andhra Pradesh.
Rao met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and handed over his resignation, asking him to accept it with immediate effect and relieve him from his responsibilities.
"I am not contesting in this election on behalf of Congress party... I am not in talks with Rajnath Singh, but I met him (Rajnath Singh) for whatever reason you imagine," Rao told reporters after meeting Singh.
He also stated that he has not decided whether to continue with Congress even as his supporters were asking him to contest from regional parties such as YSR Congress Party and Telugu Desam Party.
In his resignation letter, Rao said that he could not continue to be a member of the Council of Ministers against his conscience knowing that the Government has caused "irreparable damage" to the state.
"I continued to be part of the Government hoping that the genuine demands of the people of Andhra Pradesh would at least be considered... However no one has listened to my pleadings," he added.
Noting that it was not in the spirit of federal character of the Constitution to pursue bifurcation after the State legislature has rejected it, he said, "I have pointed out that the same will lead to divisive tendencies and history will not remember us kindly. However, my pleadings have fallen on deaf ears."
Rao alleged that the issue of bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh was not handled correctly.
"An informed discussion would have resulted in solving the concerns of the people of Andhra Pradesh. However even after my pleadings in each of the cabinet meetings no time was given even to read the proposals properly," he stated.
Elected to the Lok Sabha in 1984, Rao who is representing Eluru constituency in Andhra Pradesh and was inducted into the Cabinet in June 2013.

ESPN, Fox Face Challengers As Networks Submit Bids For U.S. Rights To EPL
Published October 19, 2012
NBC BID NOT AS STRONG AS EXPECTED: While NBC Sports submitted a bid, sources said it was not as strong as some were expecting. NBC’s cable channel, NBC Sports Network, is in the market for more live sports. But NBC’s F1 deal, which was announced earlier this week, will fill some of the same windows NBC Sports would need for the EPL, sources said. BeIN Sport has been aggressive in picking up int'l soccer rights to top European leagues, as the net has deep pockets. But there is a question whether it would have enough weekend morning windows to accommodate EPL, given its existing deals with La Liga and Serie A. There is also a question of whether EPL would sell its rights to a channel that has little distribution and is relegated to sports tiers. Discovery for the past several years has made noise about trying to add sports to some of its channels like Velocity, a channel targeting the 25-54 demo. It is not clear how serious Discovery will be in trying to pick up EPL rights. IMG did not return a phone call by deadline, but its interest in EPL almost certainly would be to sublicense the games to interested networks.

Adena Pharmacy is joining the fight against drug abuse by taking part in the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, Sept. 27. The Adena Pharmacy is partnering with the City of Chillicothe Police Department for this event, where officers will safely dispose of all prescription medicines, free of charge and no questions asked.
The public is invited to drop off old prescription medications Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the PACCAR Medical Education Center, located at 446 Hospital Road on Adena’s campus in Chillicothe.
Adena Pharmacist Richard Ash shares the importance of this community-wide initiative. “We have all these medicines in our cabinets that we don’t use anymore,” he says. “We keep them thinking we might need them someday; but, this is where a lot of the prescription drug abuse starts, in the home medicine cabinet.”
Non-medical use of controlled substance medications is at an all-time. Nearly 7 million Americans reported having abused prescription drugs in 2012, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). That same study shows that more than 54 percent of people who abuse prescription pain relievers got them through friends or relatives, a statistic that includes raiding the family medicine cabinet.
The event is part of Adena’s Prescription Drug Safety Initiative, an ongoing effort to educate our community and raise awareness about the drug abuse problem. The program is made possible by a grant from Cardinal Health Foundation.
Adena Health System is pleased to welcome Dr. Kevin Pargeter to Adena Kidney Specialists, a department of Adena Regional Medical Center (ARMC).
Dr. Pargeter is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine, and brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to his patients at Adena. His specialty focuses on kidney dialysis, chronic kidney disease, acute renal failure, hypertension, and electrolyte abnormalities.
Dr. Pargeter attended medical school at Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Tulsa, and served his residency at University of Oklahoma College of Medicine. There, he was the Chief Resident for Internal Medicine.
Following his residency, Dr. Pargeter expanded his focus on the study of kidney disease and treatment with a two-year fellowship in Nephrology at The Ohio State University’s Department of Internal Medicine.
To schedule an appointment with Dr. Pargeter, call Adena Kidney Specialists at (740) 779-8728 or request an appointment online..
Adena Regional Medical Center (ARMC) operating rooms have returned to normal after a three-day halt to elective and emergent surgeries, where the patient could withstand transport to another facility.
“I want to express my thanks to our patients, physicians, staff and community for their understanding and patience as our teams have been working through this challenge,” said Adena President and CEO Mark Shuter. “This has been a serious challenge for us, but a necessary one. Quality of care and the safety of our patients comes before everything else.”
The shutdown was prompted when staining was found on the surgical towels that sit beneath baskets containing surgical instruments during the sterilization process. Since last Wednesday morning, teams have been working to uncover and resolve the source of the staining. Adena’s quality testing has and continues to show its surgical instruments to be sterile and safe.
This weekend, a mobile medical unit arrived at ARMC to provide support in sterilizing instruments as teams continue to work toward a resolution to the staining concerns. The mobile unit includes three sterilization machines.

Delivery of the first production NAKAJIMA B5N1 on Japanese carriers launched in 1938. A year later, an upgraded version of the aircraft NAKAJIMA B5N2 was released with a more powerful engine Nakajima “Sakae 11”. B5N2 considered the best in the world deck torpedo bomber-1941.
The Japanese attack on the American air base at Pearl Harbor involved 144 aircraft NAKAJIMA B5N2. During 1942, these planes were sunk by American aircraft carrier “Yorktown”, “Hornet” and “Lexington”.
Like many other light bomber, which treated the Soviet Su-2, a German Ju-87 and US Fairey Battle, a Japanese NAKAJIMA B5N2 weak defensive armament, consisting of only one gun could only effectively work on a massive attack in the absence of fighter opposition. In other cases, they carried a substantial loss.

We delve into the depths of the Wolfrace range to once again get up and personal with some alloy gems, and this time it’s the turn of the mighty Assassin
The Wolfrace Assassin has been one of the most consistently popular wheels within our range for many years now, meaning it’s one of the most successful offerings we’ve ever produced in our long, four decade history. Quite why the Assassin has found so many homes is hard to pinpoint, but it probably owes something to the alloy’s blend of traits, namely its stunning visuals (more on those in a moment), retina-searing range of colour options, strength and giochi gonfiabili massive variety of fitments, including a load rated variant.
First up, those looks; the Assassin is defined by its deceptively complex spoke arrangement, with 10 jagged, imposing spokes jutting out from the centre at regular intervals. Not only does this design provide the Assassin with its signature ‘look,’ it’s been proven to promote exemplary brake cooling, while the flat-faced appearance lends itself to all manner of cars from a dizzying array of manufacturers and eras.
Spokes aside, one of the things most individuals appreciate about the Assassin is the wide array of different finishes, many of them impossible to ignore in traffic! Version with blue and red tips and contrasting gloss black spokes have proved staggeringly popular (contrast them with your brake calipers for a truly unique look), while those seeking something a little more low-key can instead have their Assassin with a gunmetal/polished, gloss black/polished or hyper silver coating.
The choice of finishes available in the Assassin range is bouncy castle only matched by the number of different fitment options. The wheel can be had in 4, 5 and 6 stud versions totaling a full 18 different PCDs. Factor in that the Assassin can be ordered in both 7×17in and 8×18in versions, and it becomes all too clear why it’s such a popular wheel within the automotive scene. All versions of the Assassin are load rated between 825kg and 1305kg which makes them suitable for fitment to vans and campers.
Better still, there’s even a specialised version of the Assassin designed just for owners of the Ford Transit, Britain’s best selling van; the Assassin TRS. The TRS is load rated to 1350kg, making it wholly suitable for the task at hand and more than capable of handling the kind of heavy loads Transits are tasked with moving on a daily basis.
Not content with offering the Assassin in the variants mentioned above, we made the decision some years ago to offer it in an all new, GT format. Visually very similar to the wheel which inspired it, the GT sports split-spokes that fan out to the lip of the wheel and an inner ‘blade’ which reaches right to the outer edge of the rim. It’s a subtle change, true, but enough to differentiate the GT from its sibling.
So there we have it, the Assassin, Assassin TRS and Assassin GT; the most popular wheel variants within the Wolfrace range for obvious reasons, and a design we hope you’ll agree is every bit as visually arresting now as it was at launch. Click to find out more.

The majority of lung cancer cases are detected at an advanced stage when surgical resection is no longer an option. Recent research has concluded that lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography for specific high-risk groups may reduce lung cancer mortality. Public awareness and the need for current information are growing regarding the state of the science relative to lung cancer screening for individuals at high risk for lung cancer. This article provides a historical perspective on the topic of lung cancer screening. The risks and benefits of screening are discussed, and current clinical practice guidelines are reviewed. Oncology nurses will need to be cognizant of the risks, benefits, and current guidelines related to lung cancer screening as they support patients and their families making informed decisions about personal health care.

Clarissa the Corn Maiden
Set off on her holidays
On the Eurostar to France.
She wanted to experience
Different ways of being -
She liked the way the gathered corn
Was wound round and round in spirals
Like an endless dance -
This was how she wanted to live.
She danced in the warm summer sun
To the song of the cicadas
Accordions, and Edith Piaf records
Being played on wind up gramophones.
And she would lie down, looking at the endless sky
Drowsed by the scent of lavender
Soothed by the poppies and sunflowers,
Until it grew dark, and the sky was full of stars.
One night, there stood in the moonlight
A deer with soft eyes
Who beckoned Clarissa to follow her
Past all the wayside shrines
Up to the millers house.
Clarissa was wary -
She heard millers tended to grind you down.
She had a fear of becoming something different
Of losing the essence of herself.
The miller had a jaunty air
and eyed her up hopefully
He was enchanted by her long golden hair -
And perfect ears...
And he would watch her every morning from his window
Dancing, always dancing.
He had gathered so many like her
Ripened by the summer sun -
But this one was different -
He wanted to keep her to himself
To sit beside the fire with her
On long winter evenings -
To hold her in his arms
And to read her the writings
Of French existentialist philosophers -
He prayed to the Great Mother
That he would be saved from himself.
And that things would not end
The way they normally did..
Clarissa was unaware of the miller's struggle
She was just enjoying her ripening
And besides, she had a return ticket home.
On the last day of her holiday
The miller gathered her up
And with a tear in his eye
Put her back on the train.
Thus Clarissa escaped certain death
And the miller escaped inevitability.
Broken hearted, he gave up being a miller
And instead became a poet
And wrote endless poems about
Clarissa the Lost Corn maiden
He would give poetry readings in Paris cafes
Eventually he became Professor of Poetry at the Sorbonne -
But sometimes on warm summer days
He would see his Corn Maiden dancing
Out of the corner of his eye
And he would say to himself
If there was one good thing
That I have done with my life
It was to let her go.

Introduction: Build a Snow-Thrower
At the School of Sustainable Design Engineering at The University of Prince Edward Island in PEI, Canada, our Dynamics 234 class has been developing snow-throwers to learn the theory and calculations involved with dynamics. This project has also taught us the steps for the design process which will be crucial in future years of engineering. My group consisted of three students; Chamara Dilum Kuruppu, Reagan Mills, and myself, Ryan Legault. Our goal was to develop a snow-thrower that is long range and mobile, while also being a shield to defend against other snow-throwers. The goal of the project was to develop a launcher or defending structure that would launch or defend snowballs effectively while using re-used material from previous projects.
Step 1: Materials List
Our materials list for our snow-thrower is as follows:
.Two side boards (9"x1/2"x12") made of laminated wood
.Two base boards (36"x1/2"x8") made of laminated wood
.Sides of frame (4"x1/2"x24")
.Base of frame (36"x1/2"x4")
.Potato sack (to cover wooden frame for protection)
.Big rubber bands (x16)
.Screws (1.5" and 1/2'')
.Plastic cup (snowball holder)
.Rubber tubbing (handles)
Step 2: Cutting Side Boards, Base Boards and Wooden Frame
To start building our snow-thrower, our first step was to cut the side boards, base boards and wooden frame to size. Our two side boards were cut into 9"x1/2"x12" pieces using a ban saw. The two base boards were also cut using a ban saw into 36"x1/2"x8" pieces. The wooden frame was composed of two pieces measuring 4"x1/2"x24" and the base of the frame was cut to measure 36"x1/2"x4". The wooden frame pieces were cut using a jig saw.
Step 3: Attaching the Side Boards and Base Boards
The second step in creating our snow-thrower was to attach the side boards to the base boards. To do this, we put the base boards on both sides of the side boards with a four inch gap to be able to able insert the wooden frame. The base boards were then screwed in to the side boards using 4 screws (1.5") on each side to ensure it was secure.
Step 4: Attach Wooden Frame Together and Attach to Base Boards
The third step in assembling our launcher was to attach the wooden frame together, followed by attaching it to the frame. The wooden frame was assembled together using 1'' nails in each corner (four on each side). Also, on each of the side of the wooden frame, a hole was drilled to insert a zip tie to ensure the bottom of the frame did not come undone. The next part was to attach the entire frame to the base boards using 1.5" screws (four on each side) to ensure it was fastened tightly.
Step 5: Drill Holes in the Side Boards and Frame
The fourth step in creating our snow-thrower was to drill 1/4" holes in the side boards and frame. The holes in the side boards were drilled 1" from the top and 1'' from the side. These holes were drilled to be able to attach the rubber bands in the future. For the frame, two holes were drilled in each of the sides of the frame to later on attach at the potato with zip ties. These holes were drilled 4" from the top and bottom and 1'' from the inner side.
Step 6: Attach Potato Sack to Frame
To attach the potato sack (burlap sack) to the frame, zip ties were inserted threw the holes that were drilled and fastened tightly to make sure it did not come loose. In total, six zip ties were used to attach the sack. Duck tape was also used around the outer sides to tape the hanging pieces of potato sack to the frame.
Step 7: Create Launcher
To begin the fabrication of our launcher, a plastic cup was used to hold the snowball. Four 1/4'' holes were drilled in all four sides of the cup to attach a square shape of zip ties to it (seen in pictures above). Two more holes were then drilled in the middle of the cup to attach a zip tie handle. The next part of this step was to create the rubber band structure. To start this, two rubber bands (4 different times) were used to attach to two other rubber bands by a zip tie which was then fastened to the square zip ties. This was done four times to have a stable structure in the middle.
Step 8: Attach Launcher to Side Boards
To attach the launcher structure to the side boards, the two hole previously drilled were used to wrap rubber bands threw them to secure them to the structure. This technique worked very well because the plastic cup sat perfectly in the middle with equal tension on all four corner bands.
Step 9: Attach Handles to Side Boards
The final step in creating our snow-thrower to was attach handles to the side boards to allow us to be mobile when in battle. Rubber tubing was used for the handles and was attached to the side boards by 1/2" screws that were drilled 1'' from the top of the boards and directly above the base board.
Step 10: Final Product and Operation
The final product of our snow-thrower is shown above. After many tests using duck tape balls weighing approximately 105g (actual snowball is approximately 191g), our launcher was successful and was able to launch the duck tape balls an average of 80ft (roughly 24m).
The operation of our device is fairly simple. First off, two group members must hold the the device using the handles to ensure the device is steady. The next step to the load the launcher by placing a snowball in the plastic cup, followed by pulling the launcher back using the zip tie handle and ultimately releasing it. From our testing, our group discovered that by pulling the launcher back approximately a 12'' and at an angle of 30 degrees, the ball would launch its maximum distance (approximately 95ft) with a duck tape ball.

Who have the best fans in the world? This is a question that seems to be an age-old debate with many clubs claiming they have the best fans. Some may suggest Borussia Dortmund who have regular attendances of about 80,000 at nearly every game, others may suggest Leeds United who averaged attendances over 20,000 even when in England’s 3nd division. I’m sure you have your own clubs you may inject into this conversation but how many of you have suggested Real Oviedo?
The recently promoted Spanish club currently in the Segunda Division, the country’s 2nd tier league under the famous La Liga where clubs such as Real Madrid and Barcelona compete in. How I know about this club’s fantastic fan base is because I am a shareholder like over 30,000 other people spanning over 190 countries worldwide in the club but with that said we’ll get to that later.
Real Oviedo have come back from the dead twice thanks to their fans. Firstly, in 2003 they were forced down to the Tercera Division (3rd tier) due to financial mismanagement. The Tercera is a division split into 17 groups, made up of 20 teams – a world where you can forget about media interest, replica shirts and television coverage, where many matches are played on pitches comparable to those in parks and where average gates occasionally reach the low thousands but generally number hundreds. And yet a Real Oviedo match attracted a crowd of over 25,000 blue-shirted, flag-waving fans in the Estadio Carlos Tartiere stadium that recently played host to the Spanish National Team. Although the then mayor tried to kill off Real Oviedo by withholding funding to the team and instead giving it to local club Astur, renaming the club Real Oviedo Astur, it back fired thanks to the Real Oviedo fans. Real Oviedo fans fought back taking to the streets in mass demonstrations. They boycotted council-run fiestas. T-shirts declaring, “I didn’t abandon Oviedo in the Third Division” sold in the thousands. Oviedo bring-and-buy sales sprung up at the stadium, fans selling old shirts, scarves and memorabilia, with all the proceeds going to the club. With Real fans buying over 12,000 season tickets within months, especially in this league, the council had to relent to such support.
Sadly though, in 2006 Alberto González took a controlling share in the club. He paid €200,000 for a team bus that was too big to park in most of the grounds where Oviedo played. He did not pay social security or tax to the Inland Revenue, then he disappeared. He is wanted on two counts of fraud with an international warrant taken out for his arrest, and is believed to be in Cuba or Panamá.
So in 2012 with €1.9 million needed immediately to avoid a winding-up order, €2.5 million to make it to the end of the season and €4 million to secure the club's medium-term future the new five-man club board came up with a new idea. Sell small individual shares worldwide at €10.75 per share. Not only would it serve to raise the cash the club desperately needed, but it would also dilute the missing owner González's stake in the club.
The world responded to this fine club, former players Santi Cazorla, Michu, Mata and Adrián were fundamental in not only buying shares but also giving the campaign international attention, helping spread the word and encourage many others to do so too. As momentum built, in just two weeks €1.93 million worth of shares were bought by more than 20,000 people in more than 60 countries. Incredibly small shareholders alone had rescued the club in the short term; long-term viability was secured too.
Meanwhile at the same time as all that was going on, journalists Paco González and Marcos López hatched a plan via a local radio show. They called the son-in-law of the richest man in the world Mexican Carlos Slim, and joked that he should come and save the club.
López kept up the pressure forming links between Slim with Oviedo's president, Toni Fidalgo, and skillfully saw through negotiations. On the final day of the share issue Carlos Slim bought €2 million worth of shares; further investment is anticipated although the fans own the majority stake still. With that said why wouldn’t Carlos Slim want to be a shareholder? You become part of a family, part of a community where events are organized even in England to celebrate being part of something special, if you were to visit the town you would be welcomed with open arms with the current hashtag “proud of you” proving a very popular expression to describe everything that is going on right.
So what does the future hold for Real Oviedo with such support worldwide? Well as it currently stands 21 games into the season, they stand 3rd in the Segunda Division, just 3 points off joint leaders Alaves and Cordoba. If they are promoted they will return to La Liga, where they spent 13 consecutive years before their last season there in 2001. They would get to share the pitch with some of the finest football players in the world including Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale. The hope and belief is with backing from the shareholders and the fantastic fans anything is possible!!!

How to succeed in the monarchy without really trying
This week we have another Renaissance classic: Aladdin. The movie is based upon a middle-eastern folktale of a young man who inadvertently gains the assistance of a powerful genie.
The creation of this movie can be attributed to none other than Howard Ashman. In the late 80’s he pitched the story as a musical movie to Disney, writing a forty page plot description and several songs (with the help of Alan Menken). However, Disney dismissed the idea. A few years later, directors Musker and Clements chose to start development up again. They wrote a draft of the screenplay that was subsequently torn apart by Jeffrey Katzenberg; he requested that the story be rewritten with an array of changes to be made.
Menken and Ashman were able to write two songs together before Howard’s death in 1991: “Prince Ali” and a song that wound up being cut, “Humiliate the Boy”. Lyricist Tim Rice would then step in to write the rest of the songs with Menken. It’s heartbreaking that Howard was not able to see the outcome of the project that he had such a passion for, and we can only hope that he would have enjoyed it.
Scott Weinger (Steve from Full House) was cast as the speaking voice of Aladdin, and Brad Kane did the singing for the character. Linda Larken was chosen to do the speaking voice of Princess Jasmine and Broadway actress Lea Salonga provided her singing. The most memorable cast member has to be the incomparable Robin Williams as the Genie. Robin truly made the character his own, bringing his signature comedic style and impressions into the film. In fact, most of his hysterical lines are Robin’s improvisations. Musker and Clements actually had Robin Williams on their minds when crafting the character of Genie, and of course the actor wound up accepting the role. This was one of the first instances of a current high profile movie star taking a part in an animated film – later Renaissance movies like The Lion King and Mulan would follow this precedent, and nowadays it’s the norm for animated characters to be voiced by major actors. But Robin wasn’t the only inspiration in the animation room. The writers reworked the character of Iago (originally written as a snooty, British bird) to match comedian Gilbert Godfried after seeing some of his work, and he lent his voice to the outrageous parrot. The animators were diligent in their work, studying animals at the zoo for the animal characters and even using the appearances and expressions of the voice-actors to influence the character designs. For Aladdin’s design they drew inspiration from Hollywood and based him slightly on Tom Cruise.
Aladdin debuted at number two at the box office, falling behind Home Alone 2. However, eight weeks later it did reach the number one spot and wound up being the most successful film of 1992. To this day, it is still the third highest grossing traditionally animated film of all time. The film was very well received by critics and audiences alike, praising the animation, the exciting story, the humor, and the music. Chuck Jones, the famous Looney Tunes writer/director even called Aladdin “the funniest feature ever made.” As is expected, Robin Williams’ performance was the highest praised aspect of the film. However, the film did receive a bit of criticism, especially due to its portrayal of it’s Arabic characters. Roger Ebert pointed out how the animators relied heavily on stereotypes and gave the characters “exaggerated facial characteristics”.
The depiction of its Middle Eastern characters is not the only controversy this film has had. When Robin Williams signed on for the project he agreed to voice the Genie for a significantly lower sum than what was his current asking fee with the conditions that he wouldn’t be used for marketing and the Genie would not take up more than 25% in promotional images. This deal was due to the fact that Robin had another children’s fantasy film being released shortly after Aladdin. Disney agreed to these conditions but wound up backtracking on the deal. The studio not only used Williams’ voice to promote the film in commercials, but also had Genie take up considerable space in the advertisements. Even after heavily relying on his character to sell toys, merchandise, and the film as a whole, Disney did not compensate Williams accordingly. Williams was understandably livid; he publicly called out the studio and refused to voice the Genie on the sequel movie The Return of Jafar. It wasn’t until Jeffrey Katzenberg left the studio and Joe Roth stepped up as chairman that an official public apology was made. Robin Williams did voice Genie in the second sequel film, Aladdin and the King of Thieves.
Aladdin won Best Original Song (“A Whole New World”, though “Friend Like Me” also received a nom) and Best Original Score at both the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes. It was also nominated for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy at the Globes. Robin Williams won Best Comedic Performance at the MTV Movie Awards. And the film won four Grammys: Best Soundtrack Album, Song of the Year, Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group, and Best Song Written for a Motion Picture.
As mentioned before, two direct-to-video sequels were released in the years after the film came out: The Return of Jafar in 1994 and Aladdin and the King of Thieves in 1996. A live-action remake of the film came out in 2019 with Will Smith taking over the role of Genie, Mena Massoud as Aladdin, Naomi Scott as Jasmine. I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention Twisted – it’s a musical parody by the same group that did the popular Very Potter Musicals on YouTube. The show is “Wicked-style”, in other words, telling the story of Aladdin from the point of view of the villain, Jafar. It’s hilarious and silly, but also has some really good messages and deep moments, and I think it’s excellent and one of the best Starkid shows.
In the parks, Aladdin has a strong presence. Aladdin and Jasmine are available for meet and greets in both Adventureland in Magic Kingdom and at the Morocco Pavilion in EPCOT. There is also the Magic Carpets of Aladdin ride in Adventureland. The music and characters are featured in shows and parades, especially the Genie.
Aladdin was definitely a favorite for me to watch growing up – the action was exciting, the music was catchy, and the Genie was hilarious. It is certainly a classic of the era, and Genie is still considered one of the most beloved Disney characters of all time-due completely to Robin Williams’ performance. I’m excited to watch it again. So, hop your magic carpet, and let’s fly into this film!
My thoughts on Aladdin:
- The camera “come closer…too close” joke is underrated
- Robin Williams’ improvisations are genius, and the fact so many of his lines in this movie are improv is just….spectacular
- The seller is supposed to be the Genie right? I know it’s Robin’s voice, and he’s in blue with a red sash, so why is he trying to sell the lamp? Or is it a different character and the outfit is a nod to the fact that both he and Genie are voiced by Robin?
- Ooh Jafar’s voice is so menacing
- I like that they start out with Jafar, it’s different . Not many Disney movies start out with the villain. Actually…is this the only one?
- Well, Three Caballeros begins with Donald, who in my eyes is the villain so
- Even at 24 the Tiger Cave scares me a little bit
- Man starting off with death real quick
- I can’t not picture Steve from Full House
- Remember when Full House went to Disney World? Why did 90’s shows all go to Disney World?
- All of these guards are so incompetent
- Do they get fired after this?
- “He’s got a sword!” “You idiots we’ve all got swords” hahaha
- Aww Aladdin and the kids, proving he has a heart
- Okay, I’m gonna say it, I’m not a big fan of Abu
- He’s definitely the worst animal sidekick, right?
- He’s grumpy all the time. He makes things harder for Aladdin. And like, Flounder makes things harder for Ariel, but at least he has a positive attitude!
- I applaud Aladdin for standing up to the prince, but he’s REAL lucky he didn’t get in more trouble
- I feel for Jasmine, and I like her. The marriage rule is stupid and I’m glad she’s not giving in. That being said, complaining about being a princess and being stuck in the palace has major “celebrities complaining about being stuck in their mansions during quarantine” vibes
- Jasmine Would sing “Imagine” to her people
- Does anyone ever see Jafar hypnotizing people? What do the people think happens after they’ve been hypnotized? Like, what will the Sultan think when he realizes the stone is missing?
- What IS Jasmine’s plan?
- Also, she sneaks out during the night and then we see her during the day, where did she stay/sleep?
- Jasmine, you have big earings!! Trade them
- Aladdin is clever!
- And I like how Jasmine jumps in quickly, she’s smart too!
- We stan an intelligent couple
- How … does this…machine work??
- Also, Aladdin is the ONLY diamond in the rough? The only good person living on the streets?
- I love that she jumps the roof easily
- Jasmine and Aladdin are the first royal couple to have an actual friendly conversation on-screen and I appreciate them
- Did no one at the palace know Jasmine was missing? Were the guards not searching for her already? She’s been gone nearly a day
- Oh shut up Abu and just save your friend gosh
- Lol Why does Jafar disguise himself as a prisoner
- Why not just walk in as himself and tell Aladdin “I’ll let you out if you help me?”
- It’s for the Drama isn’t it?
- Magic Carpet is so cool, both the concept and the character
- What constitutes touching? The pile of gold is a bit precarious, what if you accidentally stepped on some would that count? Or is it touching with the intent of taking?
- Okay, it’s so impressive that the carpet can express so much without speaking
- Or having a face
- Abu, I hate you so much
- Now Aladdin’s nearly gonna die
- Abu does NOT have the lamp when they get knocked down
- Oh here we go…
- Here we go go go!!!
- Let’s be honest, the moment we’ve all been waiting for
- Ah! Dummy! Fun and Fancy Free flashback!
- Such a great opening riff
- Friend Like Me is a top 10 Disney Song
- Aladdin is really clever, tricking Genie to get him out of the cave
- But the whole thing so far has been Jasmine needs to marry a prince. Jafar is not one.
- Ah! Pinocchio flashback!
- Robin Williams is so funny! All the little side comments here or there, with the animation of course, is just hysterical, even as an adult, actually ESPECIALLY as an adult because I get the references more
- I think it’s nice that Genie goes all out for Aladdin’s wish. Like, he could have just put him in the nice clothes and offered some kind of certificate as proof he’s a prince and been done with it. The parade is really going the extra ten miles
- Is there NO ONE ELSE who works in this giant palace to call Jafar out on his crap?
- Has he killed them all? Do they just not care?
- Hahaha I love the Macy’s parade bit
- Prince Ali is such a fun song
- “I am not a prize to be won” hell yeah Jasmine
- Jafar delivers the line “Prince Abooboo” with impressive menace
- How did they/Robin Williams decide on which impressions to do? They seem so random, funny though!
- Shout out to Genie for trying to get him to tell the truth
- Aladdin heard Jasmine complaining about the rich, stuffy palace life so why is he acting rich and stuffy?
- Also, he’s literally just in a different outfit. People change clothes everyday.
- Yeah, she’s suspicious, and in a little bit she reveals that she thought it was him, but I think she should be pushing him a little more?
- The jump off the balcony is such a funny and cute moment
- Okay, she definitely knows from “do you trust me”
- Ugh, the Whole New World sequence is one of my FAVORITES of any Disney movie, all the things they see, the stars and flying, so pretty and fun
- As a Sagittarius (known travelers) I enjoy seeing all the glimpses of different places
- Did he really think she would NEVER recognize him? He’s just in different clothes!
- Is she not gonna ask him why his “commoner persona” was a wanted thief??
- Magic Carpet is the best wing…carpet
- Also, that may be the cutest first kiss of a Disney movie
- Ah! Going to the bottom of a body of water with a ball and chain! Mr. Toad Flashback!
- This got dark
- Genie was helping Aladdin out when he was trying to flirt with Jasmine, why can he do that but he can’t save his life? I feel like that should be an exception
- Aladdin notices in three seconds what no one else in the palace has noticed for, what, years?
- Aladdin and Jasmine trying to make out while her dad is right there and after a dangerous criminal has just escaped lol
- Aladdin only has one wish left, even if he keeps Genie on retainer, it’s not like he’ll be able to cover for every issue and lie indefinitely
- Poor Genie
- Now look Aladdin, all your friends left
- I really like Jasmine’s purple outfit
- Jafar is STILL in the castle?!!! NO ONE has found him yet?
- These guards REALLY need to be fired
- How can Genie serve two masters at once? I feel like there should be a “you can use the lamp when the last guy is done or dead” rule
- If Jafar could make a wish when Aladdin was in charge, why can’t Aladdin make a wish while Jafar is in charge?
- It’s so Aladdin can still have a wish to free genie at the end, isn’t it? I guess that’s ok
- Anyone else think “sorcerer Jafar” is a little anticlimactic? He looks like regular Jafar
- Jafar rewriting Aladdin’s earlier bop to be a dig is a Power Move
- That tower rolling down the snow, man the computer animation is juxtaposed so hard with the traditional animation
- Run to the side!
- NO WAY that window trick would work, how did he get it so conveniently timed
- Jafar interrupted an impression! The AUDACITY
- Let’s take a moment to remember that Jasmine is 15 and Jafar is like 50-60? I know he’s the villain the movie definitely frowns upon it, but them flirting/kissing is SO CREEPY
- Jafar’s puns may be the most evil thing about him
- “Why are you bringing me into this?” lmfaoo
- I really love the genie twist, it’s so clever, and Aladdin goads him into it so well without it being super obvious what’s going to happen
- Jasmine, you really love him?? I understand liking him, wanting to date him a little more, but LOVE?
- Yay Genie!
- It’s what he deserves
- Aww they can be together after all!
- If I was Jasmine I’d be a little annoyed though, like, dad could have changed the law this whole time!
- Seeing Genie with a Goofy hat makes me want to go to Disney
- Aww, flying off into the moonlight
- Made ya look!
Aladdin is far from perfect, but it’s such a fun movie to watch. Robin Williams is just hysterical and Genie is one of my favorite Disney characters – and, boy, watching this made me miss Robin so much. The music is so fun, Jasmine is a breath of fresh air as a headstrong, independent princess, and Aladdin is a clever hero.
What do you think of Aladdin? Is it one of your favorites or do you think it’s overrated? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
Next week, I tackle a giant in the Disney canon; animated film royalty, one could say. That’s right, it’s time for The Lion King.

ASHBURN - The topic du jour around Redskins Park Wednesday was predictably the announcement of a quarterback change, one that saw incumbent starter Rex Grossman lose his job to backup John Beck. Many Redskins players chimed in on the decision, from receivers to running backs to the two passers themselves, but the man who ultimately made the decision, head coach Mike Shanahan spoke at length Wednesday about his decision to go with Beck.
Shanahan removed Grossman in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Eagles in favor of Beck, who Shanahan believed performed admirably given the situation.
“No. 1, I thought John did a good job with three of our [offensive] starters out in the fourth quarter against Philadelphia," Shanahn said of Beck's performance Sunday. "To come in a situation when they knew we had to throw the football — he had nine first downs. ... He impressed with that. [We] put a lot of pressure on him in that situation."
But Shanahan's decision did not come from Beck's performance against the Eagles alone. It came after weeks of solid practice from Beck, not to mention Grossman's penchant for turning the football over, doing so 11 times in five games.
"I like the way [Beck] has been practicing the last few weeks. He’s done a good job in practice and I think he deserves the opportunity for us to see what he can do.”
Grossman beat out Beck for the starting job at the conclusion of training camp, which means Beck has been getting scout team reps the last six weeks. But despite that, Shananan seems to feel as though Beck has come along in the last month and a half to warrant a change.
“Well, I think right now that he’s more comfortable with the system," Shanahan said. "He was out for that week [in training camp] . Like I said, I like the way he’s practiced. Rex didn’t quite have the same practices as he did earlier – as I spoke to Rex. It’s a constant evaluation and you have to go with your gut."
One of the issues Beck will have to deal with moving forward is working with a re-shuffled offensive line, one that has been bit by the injury bug with injuries to guard Kory Lichtensteiger (knee) and tackle Trent Williams (high ankle sprain). Because of those issues, Beck's mobility looks to be an asset with a group up front that could struggle in the next few weeks.
"I think a big plus for John is his mobility," said Shanahan. "He’s a 4.7 [40-yard dash] guy. He can make plays with his feet [and] he has a good command for the offense."
As for Grossman, Shanahan informed his now backup quarterback of the decision earlier in the week, highlighting the importance of securing the football.
"That’s what I talked to Rex about. I said, ‘hey, to keep that position, quarterback in the NFL, you have to eliminate those mistakes'," said Shanahan of his meeting with Grossman. "You can’t constantly turn the football over. If you do, you’re going to lose your opportunity to lead the football team."
But the biggest issue moving forward for Shanahan and the Redskins seems to be the fact that the team has yet to find a starting caliber quarterback in his tenure in Washington. With Beck, the team will turn to its third starting quarterback in less than two seasons.
Despite that, when Shanahan was asked if he believes the 30 year old Beck could be the answer at the position for the present and the future, his answer was pretty simple.
"I don't think there's any question about it."


US lawmakers propose key step to boost trade alliances
WASHINGTON - Agence France-Presse
The fast-track power to trade negotiators would help the United States in this year’s free talks planned to be held with Asia-Pacific and European Union countries on two separate pacts. AFP photoLawmakers proposed empowering US trade negotiators to push ahead major deals with Pacific Rim and European Union nations, but the move faces stiff opposition.
Three key lawmakers on trade policy introduced a bill Jan. 9 to give President Barack Obama “fast-track authority,” which would allow his team to negotiate agreements that Congress could approve or reject – without making changes.
Supporters said the four-year extension of the powers, which last ended in 2007, is indispensable to speeding up trade negotiations. The Obama administration has put a high priority on the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership, seeing it as tying the United States more firmly to the dynamic Asia-Pacific region at a time that China’s clout is rising.
The administration has also opened talks with the European Union on a potentially sweeping pact known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment
The trade authority legislation “is critical to a successful trade agenda,” Senator Max Baucus, a Democrat who heads the Senate Finance Committee, said in a statement as he co-introduced the bill.
“It is critical to boosting US exports and creating jobs. And it’s critical to fueling America’s growing economy,” said Baucus, who Obama recently nominated to be ambassador to China.
The legislation outlines US objectives in trade deals, including the protection of intellectual property and assurances against currency manipulation. Some lawmakers accuse Japan, which is part of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and especially China, which is suspicious of the trade pact, of artificially weakening their currencies to promote exports.
“This legislation will be instrumental to ensuring that our country’s current trade negotiations in Asia and Europe are a success and that these agreements meet the high standards necessary for congressional approval,” said Senator Orrin Hatch, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee.
The bill was also introduced in the House of Representatives by the head of the parallel committee, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, a Republican.
But in November, 151 House Democrats – three-quarters of the party’s membership in the House – signed a letter opposing fast-track authority.
The Ways and Means Committee’s top Democrat, Representative Sandy Levin, said that the proposal “has fallen far short” in addressing changes in the global economy. “We must do more to ensure that our trading partners do not gain competitive advantages through weak labor and environmental laws and enforcement -- a challenge that Vietnam’s inclusion in TPP makes clear,” Levin said in a statement referring to the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
