A lot has been written about the flood incident in Texas, US, with stories of relief efforts and people doing heroic deeds for the affected. When four bakers working the night shift became trapped in their bakery for two days after hurricane Harvey hit, they could have spent their time worrying about their safety and also their families but they decided to continue baking instead. The workers from the El Bolillo Bakery, a Mexican bakery in Houston made it their duty to bake bread and pan dulce -a Mexican sweet bread through the day and night, before eventually getting rescued. By the time the owner got to them they had made so much bread that the loaves were taken to emergency centers across the city for victims affected by the flood.

It's not very often that siblings from the same family gain admission into the same school, especially if the siblings are quadruplets. In Ohio four members of a family begin a new chapter as they start their freshman year in Yale University. Wade family members and quadruplets, Zach, Nick, Aaron, and Nigel who were accepted to majority of the top schools including Harvard, all decided to go to Yale due in part to the sense of community they felt at the prestigious school -and by so doing becoming the second set of quadruplets to attend Yale since the year 2000.
