Fw: Newspaper deliverer offers free shopping and delivery services to local seniors
From: Gregory Fry Greg Dailey delivers newspapers to homes in the central New Jersey township of Cranbury, but last week he did much more than toss rolled up newspapers. Many of the people on his paper route are seniors, and after one such woman asked him to start placing the newspaper against her garage, for she was afraid to walk down the driveway to retrieve it, Greg got an idea. The next day, he placed a note in all 725 newspapers he delivered ¡ My name is Greg Dailey and I deliver your newspaper every morning. I understand during these trying times it is difficult for some to get out of their house to get everyday necessities. I would like to offer my services free of charge to anyone who needs groceries, household products, etc. I will be shopping at ShopRite and McCaffery¡¯s and can deliver the goods directly to your front door. He left his number and email address. The response was immediate, and not just with more requests for his new service. Oh, there were plenty of those ¡ª nine of them, in fact, on the first day alone. But there were more emails from people who wanted to help the man who had offered his help. They wanted to send him gas money for his Ford Focus. They offered to leave him food on their doorsteps to his family. Mostly, though, they just wanted to say thank you. Said one note ¡ ¡°I know you only by the sound of your car in the morning and your good service, but your offer to help in our community is a step beyond. If you hear a little extra sound when you fly past our house, it will be us applauding and cheering for a good man.¡± Greg¡¯s service quickly became a family affair, with his wife Cherlyn, his three kids ¡ª Erin, Sean and Brian ¡ª and his mother-in-law Carol Krohn all involved. They used a Google document to keep the groceries organized, with every item highlighted on a receipt. They sort the items into separate bags in their dining room, and for safety, everything is cleaned with disinfectant wipes. Customers reimburse for the items, but there¡¯s no charge for the shopping and delivery. ¡°Times are tough. Some of us should not be out of the house at all. They need produce. They need medicine. They need toiletries. I told one of the gentlemen, ¡®I can stop at the liquor store if you want.¡¯ His eyes went wide.¡± The customers on his newspaper route can count on him. At a time when every community needs people to step up and help the people who need it the most, he delivers. Mary Live long and prosper

Fw: Astronomy Picture of the Day (5/04/2025): Spin up of a Supermassive Black Hole
Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2025 May 4 Spin up of a Supermassive Black Hole Illustration Credit: Robert Hurt, NASA/JPL-Caltech Explanation: How fast can a black hole spin? If any object made of regular matter spins too fast -- it breaks apart. But a black hole might not be able to break apart -- and its maximum spin rate is really unknown. Theorists usually model rapidly rotating black holes with the Kerr solution to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, which predicts several amazing and unusual things. Perhaps its most easily testable prediction, though, is that matter entering a maximally rotating black hole should be last seen orbiting at near the speed of light, as seen from far away. This prediction was tested by NASA's NuSTAR and ESA's XMM satellites by observing the supermassive black hole at the center of spiral galaxy NGC 1365. The near light-speed limit was confirmed by measuring the heating and spectral line broadening of nuclear emissions at the inner edge of the surrounding accretion disk. Pictured here is an artist's illustration depicting an accretion disk of normal matter swirling around a black hole, with a jet emanating from the top. Since matter randomly falling into the black hole should not spin up a black hole this much, the NuSTAR and XMM measurements also validate the existence of the surrounding accretion disk.

Inspiring Quotes for Sunday, May 04, 2025
It¡¯s the artists who do the dreaming for society. M¨¦ret Oppenheim Dreams were a major influence on the Dadaist and surrealist artist M¨¦ret Oppenheim. Her father introduced her to the writings of the psychoanalyst Carl Jung when she was 14, and she recorded her dreams throughout her life. Oppenheim¡¯s later use of dreams as inspiration for her art adhered to the very essence of surrealism. Many of her pieces ¡ª sculptures, paintings, photographs, and more ¡ª consist of everyday objects reconfigured to shift their meaning, often alluding to female sexuality. In 1936, she created her most famous piece, ¡°Object,¡± featuring a fur-covered teacup, saucer, and spoon. It was mischievous and undeniably sexual, and the surrealists considered it a quintessential example of the movement. MaryLive long and prosper
