VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis is denouncing a global labor market that is interested only in profit and warning that unemployment causes enormous damage to society and families.
Francis has been speaking out for months about different aspects of family life during his weekly general audiences. On Wednesday, he focused on the "sacred" role that work provides families, materially and spiritually.
The boy is a genius! So said Thomas Edison after spending a day at his New Jersey laboratory with 12 year-old John Hays Hammond, Jr. The young Hammond would grow up to become the second most prolific patent holder after Edison, with more than 800 inventions ranging from self-launching missiles to kitchen appliances. He was a millionaire at the age of 19 and is known as the "Father of Radio Control." In the 1920s, Hammond built a castle in Gloucester to house his scientific laboratory and burgeoning Roman, medieval, and Renaissance collections.
