How's
this for a great place to set up a temporary office? After putting
in their hours under the warm (and sometimes hot) summer sun, Wibben
Detasseling employees were asked to visit the shady Latham Park in
Lincoln to pick up their pay. Owner Cale Wibben and staff are also
very aware of the need to 'mask up" and stay clean. Boxes of masks
were on the table and a plentiful supply of hand sanitizer was also
available for all.
Thanks Cale, for taking care of your crews, many of whom are the
young people of this community.

 Mystery of the dimming of massive
star Betelgeuse explained
This four-panel illustration shows how the southern region of
the rapidly evolving, bright, red supergiant star Betelgeuse may
have suddenly become fainter for several months during late 2019
and early 2020. In the first two panels, as seen in ultraviolet
light with the Hubble Space Telescope, a bright, hot blob of
plasma is ejected from the emergence of a huge convection cell
on the star's surface. In panel three, the outflowing, expelled
gas rapidly expands outward. It cools to form an enormous cloud
of obscuring dust grains. The final panel reveals the huge dust
cloud blocking the light (as seen from Earth) from a quarter of
the star's surface. NASA/ESA/E. Wheatley (STScI)/Handout via

 U.S.
retail sales slow in July; obstacles mount for nascent economic
recovery
U.S. retail sales
in July increased less than expected as consumers cut back on
purchases of motor vehicles. As Fred Katayama reports, it could
slow further in the months ahead amid spiraling new COVID-19
infections and a reduction in unemployment benefit checks.
