Bernie Sanders: I annotated a speech by Pope Francis Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders told reporters it is time to create a "moral economy" that includes some of the principles of humanity expounded by the pontiff. (Reuters) Reading some of Pope Francis’s remarks ahead of his visit to the United States last fall, I was struck by this speech, in which the pope underscores that the dignity of every human being is what should drive our decisions in politics. This message is one I deeply agree with. Instead of writing an op-ed about my views on the pope, I wanted to lift up Francis’s own words, and highlight the values we hold in common. Excerpts by remarks by Pope Francis at the Second World Meeting of Popular Movements, Santa Cruz, Bolivia, July 9, 2015. Before all else, let us begin by acknowledging that change is needed. Do we realize that something is wrong where so many senseless wars are being fought and acts of fratricidal violence are taking place on our very doorstep? [What’s a mensch, dad?

For News Outlets Squeezed From the Middle, It’s Bend or Bust Then, sweet relief (or was it?): The Financial Times reported that BuzzFeed — which is best known for hits like the watermelon video, though its news team wins awards — missed its financial targets last year and was revising this year’s projections downward. BuzzFeed, which does not disclose its finances, denied the report, saying this year will meet expectations. But traditional newsrooms everywhere were reveling in the schadenfreude just the same. Aha! Perhaps random snapshots of callipygian Corgis do not a business model make; news as we know it is safe. Well, not really. Photo It means big changes are coming fast in the way major news institutions present their journalism, what that journalism includes, and how decisions are made about what to include.

With Donald Trump in Charge, Republicans Have a Day of Reckoning “Position yourself in the way you think is best for you,” he said, allowing that “it is difficult” for some members. “I know a lot of Republicans who are in red-leaning districts in blue states who see Trump as more helpful to them than they would have Cruz,” Mr. Cole said, citing Representative Elise Stefanik, who represents a sprawling district in upstate New York. “But if you’re in a heavily Hispanic district, your calculation is very different.” Mr. For some in the party, the question of whether to embrace Mr. Representative Peter T. “As far as any involvement or campaigning, it’s really going to depend on him filling in the gaps and consolidating his policies,” Mr. The lingering resistance to Mr. “Resentment is a kind way of putting it,” Mr. But the widespread discomfort and anxiety about Mr. Over the last two days, more than 70 Republican governors, senators, representatives, officials and donors were contacted directly or through aides for comments about Mr. And Gov.
Cruz Accuses DOJ of Favoring Abortion Clinics Over Churches The letter concerns the Justice Department’s enforcement of the 1994 Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a law that prohibits any use or threat of force and physical obstruction outside abortion clinics and places of religious worship. The law, however, does not criminalize peaceful protests or other First Amendment-protected activities outside abortion facilities or places of worship. In the letter, obtained by The Daily Signal, the Republican senators write: The [Justice Department’s] brazen pursuit (and subsequent online promotion) of—at best—frivolous prosecutions in the abortion context, combined with its failure to list any prosecutions or enforcement activities in the religious worship context, gives the distinct impression of a warped and biased enforcement of FACE by the [Justice Department]. The Daily Signal is the multimedia news organization of The Heritage Foundation. We’ll respect your inbox and keep you informed.
nytimes Photo President Obama will travel to Flint, Mich., on Wednesday to hear firsthand from residents about the public health crisis caused by contaminated water and to learn more about the highly criticized government response to the problem. The president is traveling there after an appeal from an 8-year-old girl, Mari Copeny, who asked to meet with the president when she went to Washington for a Flint hearing on Capitol Hill in March. Mr. “I think the president is concerned that there was a failure on the part of government officials to ensure that the people of Flint were protected, and there’s a lot of work that’s gone into determining exactly how and why that happened,” Josh Earnest, the White House spokesman, said on Tuesday. This year, the president visited Detroit without stopping in Flint, drawing some criticism.
Selling Bottled Water That’s Better for the Planet Photo On a recent morning over avocado toast and world-renowned New York City tap water, Grace Jeon expounded on the virtues of public drinking water. Considering that the company she runs makes its money selling bottled water, her enthusiasm might have seemed a little strange. And in fact, she follows a decidedly odd business model. Ms. Jeon held up one of her company’s bright blue opaque bottles, which are made mostly of paper, not plastic. Despite serious problems in places like Flint, Mich., and in the schools of Newark, N.J., and other cities, most tap water in the United States is safe to drink, according to environmental groups and the government. As Ms. In the process, she is also helping the struggling city of Glens Falls, N.Y., about 20 miles from Saratoga Springs. In 1944, Glens Falls was named “Hometown, U.S.A.” by Look magazine, which featured photographs of the city’s bustling downtown. That fight, however, has remained a losing battle.

New York Times Plans International Digital Expansion will invest more than $50 million over the next three years to support an ambitious plan to expand its international digital audience and increase revenue outside the United States, the company said on Thursday. The Times has formed a new team, NYT Global, to lead the effort. “Because our digital report is still designed and produced mainly for a U.S. audience, we have not come close to realizing our potential to attract readers outside our home market,” Arthur Sulzberger Jr., The Times’s publisher; Mark Thompson, its chief executive; and Dean Baquet, its executive editor, wrote in a memo to employees. About the $50 million investment, they said: “We are confident this will be a down payment on a new era of international growth for our company.” Joe Kahn, an assistant masthead editor for international, will lead NYT Global’s editorial strategy alongside Stephen Dunbar-Johnson, the international president, who will oversee the business operations.

Power Water Networks A hydraulic accumulator. Picture: Les Chatfield. "The use of water is a curiously neglected subject in the literature of engineering. As a romantic or popular facet of engineering, hydraulic power has never caught the public eye like the steam engine, the locomotive or even the internal combustion engine". Ian McNeil, Hydraulic Power, 1972 The theoretical basis for hydraulic power transmission was laid in 1647 by French whizz-kid Blaise Pascal. The implications of the "hydrostatic paradox" were demonstrated in Pascal's "machine for multiplying forces", illustrated below. Machine for multiplying forces. Pascal demonstrated that if a weight is placed on top of the small piston, it will be able to raise a weight placed on top of the larger piston that is 100 times heavier. A Machine for Multiplying Forces Force multiplication was anything but new in the 1600s. The Hydraulic Press Left: The screw press. The hydraulic press was invented in 1796 by English locksmith and carpenter Joseph Bramah.
