Some experts are hailing 3D printing as the next industrial revolution — cutting the carbon emissions and costs of almost everything we make. But in Kariwa, Japan, a tiny coastal village around 180 miles north of Tokyo, they still believe man can outsmart machine.

“3D printing does not make everything possible,” says Eiji Mitsuhashi, an industrial designer at the Kariwa Plant who is responsible for producing valves to transport oil and gas. The smarts of designers like Mitsuhashi have put this unlikely spot right at the forefront of 3D printing, because they’ve realized the new technology works best with a human touch.

NEW YORK CITY -- Please spare the Visayas.

In his arrival speech in Manila from Russia May 24, President Rodrigo Duterte hinted he might also declare Martial Law in Visayas if the situation warrants.

Duterte's statement came hours after he signed a document in Russia placing the entire Mindanao under Martial Law after a band of terrorists belonging to the Maute Group rolled over Marawi City and killed scores of unarmed civilians and cops and damaged government properties on May 23.

There’s no better seat in the house to witness the disappearing act of Louisiana than from a puny plane, flying 3,000 feet over the Mississippi River. The sallow green marshes below look more like scattered jigsaw pieces than a proud coastline. According to my pilot’s outdated map, we’re supposed to be soaring over the grazing cows and family farms of Plaquemines Parish. But instead, there’s only wide-open water — in fact, the Gulf of Mexico is quickly gobbling up Louisiana’s eroding shores.

Could this sway the race? On the final day of special election campaigning for Montana’s seat in Congress, Republican candidate Greg Gianforte has been charged with misdemeanor assault for allegedy “body slamming” a journalist in front of witnesses.

The highest possible stage in moral culture

is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts.

NEW YORK CITY -- A cultured, truly educated person is not one who knows as much as is in the encyclopedia, but is one whose knowledge -- great or small -- is in order.

The man with the most efficient education is not the one who knows things; he is the one who knows where to go to find out about them.
