Restaurant Owners and Workers Struggle Amid Labor Shortage

For 14 months, Mark Domitrovich dreamed of a time when his Chicago bar and restaurants would again be filled with the buzz and chatter of happy customers. On June 11, the day he had been waiting for finally came: the state of Illinois allowed all businesses that had been affected by COVID-19 restrictions to fully reopen. But in the weeks since, things haven’t gone the way he had envisioned at his three establishments.

Robert Oppenheimer (Physicist) - On This Day

Full Name: Julius Robert Oppenheimer Profession: Physicist and Father of the Atomic Bomb Biography: J. Robert Oppenheimer was an American theoretical physicist and the scientific director of the Manhattan Project during World War II. His leadership in the development of the atomic bomb earned him the nickname "father of the atomic bomb." Born into a wealthy Jewish family, Oppenheimer displayed exceptional academic talents from a young age. After completing his bachelor's degree in chemistry at Harvard University in 1925, he went on to obtain his doctorate in physics from the University of Göttingen in 1927, studying under Max Born.

Science: Unsinkable Atlantis | TIME

A number of people were outraged last week by a man named L. Sprague de Camp. Mr. de Camp announced in Natural History that Atlantis and other “lost continents” had never existed. Plato started it all, according to De Camp, by describing in his Dialogues a marvelous country beyond the Pillars of Hercules (Gibraltar and Ceuta). Life was beautiful in Atlantis, said Plato, but an earthquake had foundered the continent, leaving only shoals to mark its site.

Why do we let others use the past to make us feel miserable? No one including the Devil should have that much power over anyone, especially Christians, because we have grace, meaning we get a new, clean slate every single day.

The Bee, Magnified: Microscopic Photography by Rose-Lynn Fisher

The honeybee is the most geometrically minded of insects. The honeycomb that bees build with wax is always laid out in quasi-horizontal, non-angled hexagonal cells, to be filled with bee larvae and stores of honey and pollen. It’s a perfect shape, repeated over and over again each time a honeybee colony builds out its hive. This is deep geometry. The first time photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher looked at a bee’s eye magnified through a scanning electron microscope, she saw that same repeated hexagonal pattern.
