Project Stack. As always you can check the stack to make sure I received your project. Yesterday, I replied to all the projects from last week, and today I'll start working on the Saturday items.
Eval.ou.edu. The course evaluations are available now at eval.ou.edu. Your feedback is especially important right now as the university is trying to decide what aspects of online courses are useful for the future (not just during a pandemic).
The following items are for fun and exploration:

And here are some items from Week 2 of announcements, back again just for fun:
Something beautiful from one of my favorite cartoonists, Ricardo Siri, a.k.a. Liniers. Reading as yoga! (larger view)

April 8: Hanuman Jayanti. Today is the festival of Hanuman Jayanti, which commemorates the birth of the monkey-god Hanuman. You can find out more about Hanuman at Wikipedia. The image below is a greeting card for Hanuman Jayanti, showing Hanuman as he carries the Medicine Hill... and follow Twitter #HanumanJayanti for more.
This is a terrible time for India right now, and many people are tweeting their hopes that Hanuman will bring medicine to save people from the COVID:
