☆ The ABCs of Modern Life, According to Sheila Heti

ALPHABETICAL DIARIES, by Sheila Heti“No one at this point in history knows how to live, so we read biographies and memoirs, hoping to get some clues,” Sheila Heti writes in “Alphabetical Diaries,” her powerful and intimate new book. In “Alphabetical Diaries” Heti comes at this question slant, as Emily Dickinson advised truth tellers to do — so slant that you may feel you are in a ship that has been thrown sideways. The reader of “Alphabetical Diaries” will not be disappointed in this regard. Heti has done the really hard thinking about submission and its opposite. One four-letter word is zealously deployed in this book, and that word is not “love.”

Another source with direct knowledge of the raid on the Hunters Party pop-up told CNN it was just a routine drug raid. However, people chatting on an online group linked to the Hunters Party expressed their fear.

Despite the wastewater discharges, auction prices at Fukushima fish markets have remained stable — or even occasionally higher than normal. While individual consumers favor ordering fish by mail and shopping at seafood markets, prefectural government cafeterias have started serving Fukushima seafood for lunch.

Lou Reed strode onto the stage at Max’s Kansas City late on a Sunday night in August 1970. “We’re called the Velvet Underground. Danny Fields, a regular at Andy Warhol’s Factory who would soon discover the Ramones, was there, as he was virtually every night. Like Warhol, she was an obsessive taper, and had recorded a number of Velvets shows that summer. The tape would soon be passed around the underground and would eventually be released as an album — since Reed had decided this would be the last Velvet Underground show.

Start at Galería La Curtiembre , an art gallery where you can pick up stylized maps of the market, before venturing into the incense-infused alleyways with more than 1,200 stalls. Among the market’s characters are Carlos Escobar, who wears solderer’s goggles and sells old film cameras, and the collector Roberto Ávila, who has maps and monographs of Chile and elsewhere — some from the 1800s. Marvel at Bastián Cifuentes’ photography of the social unrest in 2019, and pick up colorful prints at the gallery of the muralist Alejandro ‘El Mono’ González (where you might meet the artist). For a post-lunch pickup, Kilig , next to El Mono’s stall, has the market’s best coffee.

If you want to be successful, fostering trust with others is a great way to start. But leading by example isn't the best way to do so, says a Harvard-trained leadership advisor. Building that type of deeply ingrained connection comes from a single strategy, Mumby says: active listening. Chances are, you're a mono-tasker — if you think you're doing two things at once, you're probably task-switching or completing tasks in rapid succession, neuropsychologist Cynthia Kubu told the Cleveland Clinic's health blog in 2021. For it to really be effective, you need to make it a regular practice, she says: One uninterrupted conversation won't garner someone's trust overnight.
