Americans Eating Alone More, Not Sharing Meals Proves Cultural Decline

Domino’s is finally launching a truly personal pizza. Yay! Right? Except that the company’s announcement about it is…

​A Testimony of Truth and Humanity: ough the Eyes of Prof. Nick Maynard
​When a world-renowned British surgeon like Professor Nick Maynard visits the Gaza Strip and witnesses the suffering firsthand, his testimony is not merely a passing impression; it is a badge of honor bestowed by a medical savior upon a people who teach the entire world the true meaning of resilience.
​Professor Maynard described the people of Gaza with words overflowing with humanity and depth, stating:
​"They are the kindest, most beautiful, and most generous people I have ever met in the world. They have an astonishing capacity for resilience, are brilliantly resourceful, possess remarkable scientific knowledge, and practice medicine at an exceptionally high level despite severely limited resources."
​This heartfelt praise embodies the genuine character of the patient people of this land, who face the harshest circumstances with hearts full of dignity and giving, and minds ablaze with creativity and determination.
​An Urgent Humanitarian Appeal to Support My Family
​Building upon this profound testimony, and under the extremely harsh and inhumane conditions my family is enduring in the Gaza Strip, I turn to you today with a heart heavy with hope and a plea for help. My family is part of this giving community praised by the world, yet today they lack the most basic necessities of life—food, clean water, and safety.
​War has taken its toll on them, and their means of endurance are nearly exhausted. Your support and solidarity with us in this critical moment, no matter how small, means a true lifeline and a step toward preserving a dignified life for them and my children.
​How can you help?
​Providing direct financial support to help secure basic necessities.
​Sharing this message and spreading it as widely as possible so it may reach compassionate hearts.
​To connect or extend a helping hand to my family:

When even a kite becomes a crime

They are reportedly holding an urgent meeting involving the Israeli defense minister, the army chief of staff, and military commanders to discuss kites coming from Gaza.

Think about that for a moment: a kite. A child’s toy.

Children in Gaza have already lost their homes, their schools, their safety, and so much of their childhood. Now even the simple act of flying a kite is treated as a threat.

I am a mother of six, and my family of eight is living through these unbearable conditions. We have been displaced, we live in a tent, and for several days now our donations have completely stopped. We struggle to secure food, clean water, and the basic necessities my children need.

While powerful people hold meetings about children’s kites, my children are worrying about whether there will be food on the table.

Please don’t let us disappear from your feed. If you can donate, even a small amount can help my family survive. If you cannot, please share our campaign. Your support could mean food for my children today.

We don’t need luxury. We need a chance to survive with dignity. 💔🙏

Hype for the Future 250G: Tompkins County, New York

https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/07/08/hype-for-the-future-250g-tompkins-county-new-york/

An independent arXiv

I’m a bit late passing this news on, but a few weeks ago arXiv announced that from 1st July 2026 it will be establishing itself as an “independent nonprofit organization”. It has been hosted for many years by Cornell University. You can read here about the reasons for this and how it will work, and there is a lengthier article in Science magazine, but the quick summary is

This transition allows for faster technological development, greater organizational flexibility, expanded partnerships, and long-term financial sustainability. A platform built by scientists for scientists, the new arXiv will continue to serve researchers worldwide with the same dedication to free and open scientific discovery.

Such a move creates opportunities, but also carries risks. The sustainability of the new-look arXiv will depend on finding appropriate sources of income, for example. I wish arXiv well in this move. There’s an advertisement for the post of Chief Executive, if anyone fancies the job!

One possible future model for the Open Journal of Astrophysics is as a standalone non-profit organization of some sort, funded also by donations. Currently we are funded by the Library at Maynooth University, where I am based. Having made the decision not to charge fees of any kind, we lack any source of income other than the University. I am very grateful for that support, but we are run on a very tight budget. We keep costs to an absolute minimum, but are not free.

I have written before about what I think the future of Diamond Open Access could look like. I would like to see a range of Diamond Open Access journals offering a choice for authors and serving different sub-disciplines. Most universities nowadays have publishing operations so there could be network of federated journals, some based on arXiv and some based on other repositories and others with different models, such as SciPost. Perhaps institutions are worried about the expense but, as we have shown the actual cost, is far less than they are wasting on Article Processing Charges.

Everything is working well right now at OJAp, but it is not reasonable that the expense of running a journal that serves the global astrophysics community should fall entirely on one small University in Ireland. It won’t be sustainable in the long run, either, if we continue to grow at the present rate. Compare us with the Diamond Open Access publisher SCIPOST, which has a long list of sponsors covering its costs; we have none. My only hope at the moment of turning OJAp into an independent organization is to win the lottery!

Another thing makes me nervous. Many modern universities, which are nominally non-profit institutions, are managed by people who care far more about revenue generation than about academic scholarship and research. I worry that someone upstairs might pressurize us to introduce charges to generate income by threatening to close us down.

I know that money is very tight in astrophysics these days but if you have access to any potential sources of funding – then please consider supporting OJAp!

“Rivers are critical resources that affect everything from watersheds to agriculture to energy. But rivers, in turn, have been impacted by humans, often in the form of hydraulic infrastructure such as dams and wells.
A new [Cornell] project… will create a global record that shows how river systems around the world have changed under human influence over the last 75 years…”
