  When Dodgers manager Dave Roberts talked to Mookie Betts for the last time Wednesday night, Betts had resolved to sit out both games of Thursday’s scheduled doubleheader and continue to make a point about racial inequality and injustice.
  The first lineup that went out Thursday morning reflected that. Betts was not in it. Shortly after, however, a new lineup was announced with Betts in his preferred spot, batting leadoff and playing right field.

  Not even the greatest surge in joblessness in 80 years is easing the fast-food industry’s years-old labor shortage.
  That’s because the COVID-19 pandemic is making this year’s economic crisis very different than past downturns when restaurants offered an important lifeline for the newly unemployed. Since service-sector jobs now mean a higher chance of infection, even higher pay isn’t coaxing workers into the kitchen.

  At first glance, it seems strange that a plant commonly referred to as Hawaiian elf (Schefflera arboricola) is neither native to Hawaii nor elfish, growing to a height of at least ten feet. It transpires that the elf moniker is meant for contrast, referring to the fact that the potential height of Hawaiian elf at maturity is only half that of its close relative, the umbrella tree (Schefflera actinophylla).
