▼ + stars: | 2023-07-09 | by ( Susan Puckett | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

But it was the tart, earthy, tingly, subtly sweet notes provided by the sumac and Aleppo pepper that made such a lasting impression. Extra-virgin olive oil, yogurt and feta cheese are dietary mainstays, along with seasonal produce, legumes, whole grains and lean proteins. Made from deep-red Halaby chile peppers, Aleppo pepper is named for the Syrian city where it once grew in abundance. Dukkah, a blend of nuts, seeds and warm spices, makes a savory, crunchy topping on everything from soups to salads. Baharat is just one of a combination of warm spices that can punch up a chicken dish the Mediterranean way.

Don’t Cry for Me“I hate when people cry at funerals,” my mother said. “When should they cry?” I asked. But she cried, when she thought no one was looking, for my dead father, the love of her life, and for my brother, lost on the streets. Some mourners shed tears, despite the fact that I wrote “Don’t Cry!” on the cake, and propped a small, stern photograph of her in the blue icing. — Susan Parker

Sociologists have long known that growing up surrounded by poverty is corrosive for a child’s life chances. The 2020 book “The Origins of You: How Childhood Shapes Later Life,” written by a team of four developmental psychologists, showed that children who grow up in disadvantaged neighborhoods are more likely to remain antisocial and badly behaved when they get older, while their peers in better neighborhoods mature and stop acting out. This is especially true of boys.

Andrew Lester faces two felony charges – assault in the first degree and armed criminal action – in the April 13 shooting of Ralph Yarl. While he was hospitalized, Ralph told police he did not pull on the door, according to the document. Charlie Riedel/APLester opened the interior door and “saw a black male approximately 6 feet tall pulling on the exterior storm door handle,” Lester told police. While the teenager was still on the ground, the man then fired again, shooting him in the arm, Ralph told police. Crump likened Ralph’s shooting to the shootings of 17-year-old Martin in Florida and 25-year-old Arbery in Georgia.

Psychologist Susan Pinker explores new discoveries in the science of human nature. Read previous columns here. One of the highlights of my pandemic workweek was the Zoom workout I did with a dozen fellow swimmers once we lost access to our pool. Most aspects of my life were upended, but the 7:45 a.m. home exercise session was a constant: a warm-up, two sets of resistance exercises designed by our loyal coach, then stretching and gabbing. None of us wanted to give up this routine when restrictions eased, and we’re still at it.

☆ Rising layoffs, high inflation, and the dreaded R-word have American workers nervous. Here's a guide to managing your career in an uncertain economy.
▼ + stars: | 2022-07-18 | by ( Rachel Durose | Catherine Henderson | Rebecca Knight | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +16 min

The economic news is mixed: Inflation and interest rates are high, but the job market looks solid. It's possible that the Fed manages to cool off the economy and tame inflation without causing a spike in unemployment, said Flowers. "The outlook isn't as rosy as it was," Nick Bunker, the head of economic research at the jobs platform Indeed. If the thought of an economic downturn makes you fear for your job, you're not alone. Mentor someone else in your organization — if you're relatively new on the job yourself, take a student intern under your wing.

☆ I used to be ambitious, but now striving at work seems pointless. Is there something wrong with me?

I don't know if it's pandemic stress, getting older, my job, or what — but these days, I'm not motivated. I'm supposed to work hard and make the most of my career, but I don't think I have it in me. You don't need to "regain your ambition" or "live up to your potential" right now. These ideas don't need to involve work necessarily, nor do they need to be income-generating. Research shows that the keys to engagement at work are using your strengths, connecting with others, and feeling like you're effective.

At 61, Mr. Simmons is as American as apple pie and the Big Mac — two things he would no doubt warn you away from eating. But Mr. Simmons is the only one regularly offering classes to the public in his own studio. But Mr. Simmons, who says he is deeply religious, has an almost spiritual connection with his followers. “I don’t have to teach anymore, I don’t have to work anymore, God has been really good to me,” Mr. Simmons said. “It’s a very unusual place — it has a spirit all its own,” Mr. Simmons said of the studio.
