"Challah for Hunger's mission is to fight hunger globally and locally. There are chapters all across the world who bake bread every week. Each chapter sells the bread and donates half of their proceeds to a globally based organization called Mazon, a Jewish response to hunger and a local organization of their choice.

The National Theater in England is switching to its YouTube channel. From April 2, under the banner of National Theatre at Home, every Thursday (7pm GMT/2pm EST) will see a new National Theatre play released – free to watch for one week – along with bonus content including cast and creative Q&As and post-stream talks. The US National Archive library brings together all the books from Phillips Academy Andover and Marygrove College, and much of Trent University’s collections, along with over a million other books donated from other libraries to readers worldwide that are locked out of their libraries. Internet Archive offers digital access to books, many of which are otherwise unavailable to the public while US schools and libraries are closed. In addition to the National Emergency Library, the Internet Archive also offers free public access to 2.5 million fully downloadable public domain books, which do not require waitlists to view.   more »

I've married two men who didn't grow up sitting on those hard, wooden-slatted seats. But my husband today understands my state of mourning regarding what could become 'the lost season.' My mother told me that she was thrilled that I had taken to the game; this now meant she would never have to attend another game, ever, especially those games that were double-headers. Pop and I loved those games.   more »

Editor's Note: "If a 2019 survey – which found that one in 20 of British women spends at least £100 every six and a half weeks on in-salon hair colour – is anything to go by, mastering the art of at-home hair colouring might be a means of passing that time that will also save us money down the line." “Give yourself a break from online social pressures,” says Vogue hairstylist Sam McKnight. “Everyone is in the same boat, this is the great equaliser.” more »
