Legislative Alert: Proposed Trade Agreements with Colombia, Korea and Panama

[Excerpt] On behalf of the AFL-CIO, I am writing to urge you to oppose the proposed free trade agreements (FTAs) with Colombia, Korea and Panama. Working people in the U.S. and around the world are bearing the brunt of decades of flawed trade policy. We need Congress and the White House to focus on creating the millions of good jobs at home that we so desperately need—not passing more flawed trade deals. These trade agreements, negotiated by the Bush administration, incorporate too many of the disastrous policies of the past, rather than laying out a new and progressive vision for the future

Panama Bridge Project

The Panama Bridge project has partnered with Rio Missions Panama to design a bridge for the village of La Gigi, Panama. The mountain community of La Gigi experiences heavy rainfall during the rainy seasons. A stream runs along the community, restricting their access to schools, employment options, and other communities. While passable during dry seasons, the stream floods and becomes impassable after heavy rains. The residents are effectively cut off from their livelihoods, church, health services, and other communities during this time. To accommodate this need, the Panama Bridge Team has spent the last two academic years designing a 90 foot aluminum truss bridge. The design includes a unique construction strategy to deal with challenging site constraints.https://mosaic.messiah.edu/engr2021/1011/thumbnail.jp

Portrait of the Panama Canal: Foreward

A 1913 edition of the British magazine Puck features a two-page, full-color cartoon depicting Uncle Sam astride the Isthmus of Panama and the nearly completed Panama Canal. The cartoon also shows the pyramids of Egypt, the hanging gardens of Babylon, and other familiar human creations. Its caption reads, The seven wonders of the world salute the eighth. Cradled in Uncle Sam\u27s arm is a figure, a saluting, white-haired, white-suited mustachioed man with the name Goethals printed on his collar. This is my great-grandfather, chief engineer of the Panama Canal
