by The Minister of Information JR
TaLea Monet, aka Ms. Incredible, is an MC based in Frisco’s Hunters Point with skills and a very distinct voice. She recently dropped her debut album titled “Birth of a New Breed,” featuring her two beautiful children on the front cover. I wanted to sit down with this hometown shero and talk about her history and her latest musical offering to the people. Hear’s Ms. Incredible in her own words …
M.O.I. JR: Can you tell the people when you got into rhyming? Who were the first MCs to inspire you?
TaLea: I’ve been into rhyming since I was a little girl. I was more into the poetry aspect of expression at first, but around 13 or 14, the poems slowly started turning into little raps.
The first person I can remember who had a major influence on me was my big sister. I would always find raps she had written and she would always be in a cypher rapping holding her own. It left a powerful impression on me. Other MCs include Tupac, Heavy D, Queen Latifah, Jay-Z, Nas, Lauren Hill, the list could go on forever!
M.O.I. JR: When did you decide that you wanted to rap? Is it a hobby or is it a potential career move? Please explain.
TaLea: I never really just woke up one day and said to myself, “You know what? I think I want to rap!” It’s more like something that has always been a part of my life. As a child, I would make up all types of little songs and raps and have my sisters and friends sing them. Then in my teenage years it just stuck with me. You could catch me beating on a lunch table busting silly little freestyles and just enjoying myself.
When I turned 18, I had my first taste of the recording studio and that pretty much just sealed the deal. I’ve been recording ever since, but never with the intention of getting signed. It’s been more of a way in which I’ve been able to express and articulate my life experiences – the things I’ve learned along the way – in hopes that there was somebody who could relate.
M.O.I. JR: What’s the name of this album that you are putting out? How many albums have you put out before this?
TaLea: The name of this album is titled “Birth of a New Breed” and it’s actually the first official project I’ve released. I’ve put out numerous songs before this, but never a full project.
M.O.I. JR: What kind of material do you rap about on this album? Who did the production?
TaLea: I rap a lot about my life experiences, my perspective on certain issues and spiritual trials and triumphs I’ve encountered. All in hopes of birthing a new me, a new reality for myself, my children and others. There were a few producers for this project – Tarikh Mizan, Izreal Beats and Andrew Meftah all contributed to the production.
M.O.I. JR: Do you have any features? Who? How did you choose who you wanted on your album?
TaLea: No, I decided for the first official project I wanted to just go solo. But I have so many people I want to work with on future projects.
M.O.I. JR: How do you manage your music career with being a full time wife and mother?
TaLea: Honestly, I have no idea! It’s like with most other things when you are married and a parent, you just make it work. It kind of helps that my husband is an artist too, so a lot of the things we do are centered around music. When it comes to recording and doing shows, they are usually right there with me, so it’s really not much of a separation between my music and home life.
M.O.I. JR: What do you want people to get out of your music?
TaLea: I want people to get whatever they can take from my music. A lot of my material is not really a one size fits all type of deal, so two people could take different things from the same track.
M.O.I. JR: How do people stay in touch with you online?

iPhone 15 Pro price could increase this year: What that means for Android
- A tech analyst predicts that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will get a price increase.
- This would be the first iPhone price increase in the US since 2017.
- It’s unknown if the increase will affect the price of the iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus.
Just like the iPhone 14 series, it’s expected that Apple will launch the iPhone 15 line up sometime in September of this year. While there will obviously be a few key differences in specs between the current generation vs the next generation, there might be one other change we could see — the price.
According to MacRumors, Tech Analyst at Hong Kong-based investment firm Haitong International Securities, Jeff Pu claims that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are in store for a price hike. If this is true, it would mark the first time the price of an iPhone has been raised in the US since the iPhone X, which released six years ago.
It appears that Pu predicted the price increase due to several rumored hardware upgrades. These upgrades could include a new periscope camera, a bump in RAM, and extra Taptic Engines for the phone’s new solid-state design.
While this would be the first time Apple increased the price of an iPhone in the US since 2017, this won’t be new to other areas. A few countries outside of the US experienced multiple price increases, like the one during the transition from the iPhone 13 to the iPhone 14. However, the US was lucky and got sparred from the price hike.
It’s uncertain if this increase will affect the iPhone 15 or the iPhone 15 Plus. However, given the information Pu based his prediction on, it seems unlikely since those models won’t get the same hardware upgrades.
So what does this mean for Android owners? If Apple is confident enough to raise the cost of its premium iPhones, it’s possible that OEMs like Samsung or OnePlus could follow suit. We do know that Samsung raised the price of the Galaxy S23 series outside of the US. If this news ends up being true, there may now be a greater likelihood that Samsung will decide to raise the price of the Galaxy S24 stateside.

September 26th, 2012, becomes the day I tasted my first zucchini cake!
Anne was true to her word and very kindly took the trouble, in the midst of her busy day as a reporter, mother and wife, to bring in some slices of her cake for me to try. The container was sitting patiently on my desk when I got to work today. The cake looks like banana bread, although I would have definitely wondered about the green pieces in the slices.
It tastes like spice cake and there’s very little gustatory evidence of zucchini, although when I asked what the moist bits were, Anne replied, “That’s the zucchini!”
While it's still difficult to reconcile the zucchini I see in stir-fry with the yummy cake I ate today, once I started eating the cake, I couldn’t stop!
Later, I went in studio to do a report for tonight's 6 o'clock newscast and while we were waiting for the commercial to end, Jamie, the anchor, demanded, "Cake! Where was the cake?" Caught completely off-guard, I asked, "Huh, what cake?" She explained that she had read my tweet about Anne's zucchini cake and wondered if it had been brought in for everybody. Feeling terribly guilty, I explained Anne had just brought in some for me to try. Jamie appeared consoled, concluding it had only been one piece for me to sample. At that point, I was forced to, sheepishly admit, Anne had, in fact, brought in three pieces of zucchini cake and I had porkishly polished them all off!
Uh oh, maybe I was supposed to share! I think it's time I crawl back under my rock, snorting as I go.

3 ways you’re getting girls in classrooms
Where I live, life is different for boys and girls,” shares 7-year-old Priscilla. “Girls work harder than boys and I feel sad about that.”
In developing countries like Ghana, distribution of domestic labour and opportunities has traditionally been dependent on gender. It’s an unfair balance that can diminish girls’ prospects, making them feel left behind – and boys notice it, too.
“I feel so bad for the girls because their work is tedious,” says Wonder, 13, a local boy.
“Boys normally play, while the girls do the house chores,” adds 14-year-old Confidence. “I feel very sorry for them.”
But now’s the time for change, and thanks to your sponsorship, we’re making it happen with a multi-tiered system of action.
Through your support we’re initiating activities that communicate the importance of girls’ education and equality. This includes girls’ radio campaigns and celebrations, which involved over 100 girls, more than 40 schools, nearly 40 teachers and 35 government officials and local leaders.
Because of such efforts, parents are changing how they see and treat their daughters and local girls.
“Plan has taught us to give equal opportunities and attention to our children: to put both girls and boys in school. We should not overburden the girls with chores that will be detrimental to their academics; rather provide for their needs so they can stay and complete school successfully. Otherwise, they could get pregnant and drop out.” – Juliet, mother in the community
Through your generous sponsorship, we’re not only promoting understanding, we’re providing more chances. To date, we’ve given full school scholarships to over 50 youth in need – including girls like Vera and Delight, two young mothers who had dropped out of school and struggled to get by.
We were told not to give up on our dreams but strive to see them accomplished. My hope of ever continuing with my education was almost lost until this scholarship intervention was introduced in my community. Now I am in school studying, hoping to become a nurse some day. Thanks to Community Sponsorship, my dreams have been kept alive.”- Vera, now a senior high school student
Delight had delivered a baby just after completing junior high school, and was performing odd labour jobs in an attempt to save money for further studies. “It was a very difficult time for me,” she confides.
Delight’s dad, Togbe, is now committed to supporting her education.
Delight’s father, Togbe, found out about the scholarships and – now knowing the importance of his daughter’s schooling – jumped at the chance to sign her up and get involved.
“I have also joined the Village Savings and Loans Association to make some savings to support my girl’s education,” he says.
Today, Delight is thrilled to be a student again, and excited for what the future holds.
“Now with this scholarship from community sponsors, I am enrolled in senior high school, pursuing my dreams,” she beams.
3. Ongoing encouragement
After opening doors to get girls back in class, we also want to ensure they’re well-supported to stay there. That’s why we organized special workshops in 8 schools, equipping over 130 student prefects with skills to become effective leaders and play an active role within school management.
Perfect and Raphael are both involved in their school’s Rights of the Child club and shared how this, and other new Community-Sponsorship-funded school initiatives, like girls’-only latrines and co-ed activities, are making a more comfortable, safe and inclusive environment for all students.
Joking about the friendly rivalry in the girls versus boys football matches, Raphael explains that, “sometimes the boys will win,” while Perfect quickly interjects, “but sometimes the girls will beat the boys!” “We really like playing football,” they agree, with shared laughter.
Raphael and Perfect lead a new generation of gender equality.
These two young leaders also both truly value their education – a chance you’ve helped make happen through your sponsorship.
“I have to learn and do well in school so that I will go further and be what I want to be,” vows Perfect, inspired by new opportunities and ready to take charge as a role model for Volta’s girls – and boys!
“I am lucky to go to school, so I can do something in my future for my parents and all the community,” Raphael acknowledges, noting that in order to achieve this, he’ll need to support his female peers, and vice versa. “Sometimes, I’ll go to Perfect so that she can teach me,” he adds with a smile.
Thanks to you...
Educated and empowered girls are proudly marching towards brighter futures in Volta.
Now see how teachers’ dormitories are bringing schools a better quality of education.

Amazing Korean food! Loved the vibe of this restaurant, and the food was very authentic and tasty. Prices are a bit steep hence the 4 star rating, but if you share plates with others and split the cost then not too bad. I would recommend the kimchi pancake and pumpkin katsu curry.
Delicious food, the bibimbap was so tasty, served piping hot in a sizzling stone pot.
We enjoyed that so much, we ordered some extra Korean style fried chicken to try, that was delicious too!
Service was good, all the waitresses were helpful and very attentive. Nice & chilled atmosphere.
I really regret not getting something more exciting here. My son got a sizzling bowl full of sticky rice and unctuous sauce and I played it safe with a curry. Mine was fine, but his was way better!
Amazing food… came second time and tried something different. Full score, will be back soon!! Amazing food and good customer service where the lady recommended some items which was superhit.
Very tasty Korean food, the staff made us feel very welcome. Would definitely go again!


I thank my hon. Friend for introducing the subject of that particular concordat, although I think that I could give him examples of some rather more modern and ecclesiastical concordats. At least we knew the basis of those concordats, and the way in which they could ultimately be enforced in constitutional terms. What we have here are documents—I call them documents, but I do not even know whether they will be documents. In any event, they will be constitutional eccentricities which, at present, have no status, and no basis that we know of on which they can be enforced.
Are the concordats unilaterally breachable? If one side decides that a concordat is no longer a concordat, will that be the end of the matter? If so, is any remedy available to the other side? Will there be financial implications? I understand that the concordats could well be used to decide matters such as the resourcing of the assembly under clause 80 or, indeed, the workings of the Barnett formula. If they have financial implications, will they be open to inspection by the Public Accounts Committee of the House of Commons—and, if so, on what basis, if they are not born of the House of Commons?
Let us come to the nub of the issue. How can someone who is not a representative of the United Kingdom be delegated, on the basis of an informal agreement, as a representative of the United Kingdom in the Council of Ministers? We are told that that will be one of the purposes of the concordats. How can that be done on the basis of, if necessary, no more than the signature of an official?
Will there be two types of concordat? Will there be concordats that are essentially between officials and, therefore, theoretically, under the terms of the Bill, between members of the same civil service, and concordats which, being between separate Administrations, constitute a very different animal? That, too, will arise in relation to Europe. I understand that concordats will be drawn up between two Administrations in order to allow one to be represented on the delegation of the other, which will be based on the advice of civil servants common to both—civil servants who, I believe, will move between their offices in Cardiff and the Cabinet Office in London in order to formulate the policy that will be taken to the Council of Ministers.
A series of strange, sinister beings called concordats are being introduced— [Horn. MEMBERS: "Sinister?"] Hon. Members may smile, but it takes only one mouse to begin to chew away the rope that holds a building together. I see the beginnings of a deliberate attempt to bypass the House of Commons increasingly. We are starting with a few small concordats; five years later, we shall find that more and more is being done by concordat.
In the absence of answers, there is only one way in which the House can continue to control what is happening here: requiring all concordats to being brought to both Houses in draft form for approval. If that is done, we shall have a chance of protecting the interests of the House.

Jeremy Corbyn praises Finsbury Park community response
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said the repsonse of the community following last year's terror attack at Finsbury Park "is a model for us all".
In a statement he said: "A year on from the tragic attack outside Muslim Welfare House London in Finsbury Park, when a man filled with hate drove into a crowd of people after prayers, we remember the life that was lost and those still suffering from the aftermath - and the inspiring response of our community.
"One man, Makram Ali, was killed and eight people were injured in this terrible attack that brought terror to our streets.
"But the response of our community - people of all faiths and none - was to come together in solidarity and strength.
"We showed that we would not be divided or defeated and we never will be.
"The response of the community in Finsbury Park is a model for us all: through supporting each other in solidarity, treating each other with respect and learning from each other, we can create a better, more peaceful and prosperous world."
Politicians joined community figures and Makram Ali's family outside Islington Town Hall.
Met Commissioner releases Finsbury Park statement
Met Commissioner Cressida Dick has released a statement on the first anniversary of the Finsbury Park terror attack:
Today our thoughts are with Makram Ali, who died in the attack at Finsbury Park last year. A husband, father, brother, grandfather – much loved and deeply missed. In the Met we also remember all those who were injured that night and those who were caught up in the horror. London is a city of many faiths and many nationalities. Our strength is our unity. The way the local community in Finsbury Park – of all faiths and all backgrounds – came together and remains so strong together is inspirational. A true reflection of our City.

What is the Camp LeJeune Justice Act? Camp LeJeune, a military base located in the eastern district of North Carolina, exposed millions of military personnel and their families to dangerous chemicals through their drinking water supply. For years, those individuals consumed and used contaminated water, which has now been linked to many serious health conditions and life-long illnesses. When families make the commitment to serving the United States military, they trust that they will be cared for by those they have vowed to protect. Unfortunately, those exposed to harmful toxins found in the water are still living with the side effects of long-term chemical exposure.
What is the Camp LeJeune Justice Act?
Thanks to the Camp LeJeune Justice Act and the PACT Act, the veterans exposed and their families can finally receive appropriate relief for their illnesses caused by water contamination. The Sandy Springs Camp LeJeune injury attorneys at Ashenden & Associates understand the sacrifice so many men and women make when joining the military. The chemicals that those military members and their families were exposed to due to the Camp LeJeune water contamination were an unnecessary danger that the military attempted to cover up for years.
What Happened at Camp LeJeune Marine Corps Base?
From 1953 until 1987, military personnel and their family members who lived at Camp LeJeune drank, cooked with, and bathed in toxic water. It has been discovered that chemicals from a nearby dry cleaning business and leaking underground oil tanks contributed to the toxic water source that supplied thousands of families.
The first reports of contaminated water at the eastern district of the North Carolina military base began around 1981 when the military began testing the base’s water sources. Those tests found toxic chemicals like benzene, perchloroethylene (PCE), vinyl chloride, and trichloroethylene (TCE) in the water at Camp LeJeune. However, it wasn’t until 1985 that the military shut down all the water wells that fed into Camp LeJeune. During these three decades, millions were exposed to contaminated water containing these and other harsh chemicals that are now known to cause various types of cancer and other long-term illnesses.
Almost forty years since the water supplies were shut down, the families of those affected by the Camp LeJeune water contamination can now pursue legal action and receive financial competition for their losses thanks to the passing of the Camp LeJeune Justice Act of 2022.
Health Complications From Camp LeJeune Contaminated Water
Medical evidence has proven that long-term exposure to chemicals like the ones found in Camp LeJeune’s contaminated water supply has been linked to many serious medical conditions and illnesses. Some of those medical conditions are:
- Various forms of cancer, including brain cancer, breast cancer, bladder cancer, esophageal cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, and rectal cancer
- Birth defects, as well as fertility issues and miscarriages
- Cardiac defects
- Aplastic anemia
- Heart attacks
- Dental issues
- Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
- Multiple myeloma
- Parkinson’s disease
- Myelodysplastic syndromes
- Neurological and mental disorders
The list above includes only some medical conditions related to exposure to the chemicals found in Camp LeJeune contaminated water. Many more health conditions can be caused by long-term chemical exposure. Even if your or your loved one’s illness is not listed, you could still be able to file a Camp LeJeune water contamination lawsuit. Our Camp LeJeune birth injury lawyers are taking claims specifically for birth injuries.
Contact a Sandy Springs legal representative from the Ashenden & Associates law firm to learn more about filing Camp LeJeune claims.
What is the PACT Act?
In 2022, the PACT Act was passed to broaden the healthcare benefits available to veterans exposed to toxic chemicals during their service. The Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act has become the most significant expansion of health care benefits in the history of Veterans Affairs. Before this law was passed, veterans exposed to harmful chemicals were unable to receive healthcare benefits for their illnesses.
Over the years, military service members were unknowingly exposed to dangerous chemicals like Agent Orange, chemicals in burn pits, and clean-up sites that contained high radiation levels. With the PACT Act, veterans exposed to harmful chemicals during the Vietnam War, Gulf War, and post-9/11 can now apply for health care and disability benefits for their medical conditions.
The PACT Act also includes these additional benefits:
- The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) staff members who handle lab tests, specimen collection, and other screenings are well-educated and trained.
- Expanding the tests and screenings performed on veterans who could have been exposed to chemicals, like those found in the water at Camp LeJeune
- Updating verbiage and definitions of toxins and the process of gathering evidence to verify exposure
What is the Camp LeJeune Justice Act?
The Camp LeJeune Justice Act of 2022 was part of the larger Honoring Our PACT Act, which added medical benefits for former military service members exposed to harsh chemicals. The Camp LeJeune Justice Act was specifically designed for the military and their family members exposed to the chemicals in the contaminated water at Camp LeJeune.
This act allowed the military and their family members to pursue legal action if they spent more than 30 days at Camp LeJeune between August 1953 and December 1987. The passing of the Camp LeJeune Act of 2022 was long overdue judicial relief for these military members and their families battling medical conditions and long-term illnesses caused by the contaminated water at Camp LeJeune.
Military families can still seek financial compensation if their loved one has since passed away from an illness linked to long-term chemical exposure from water contamination at Camp LeJeune. If you want to learn more about filing a Camp LeJeune wrongful death claim, contact our Sandy Springs wrongful death lawyers at Ashenden & Associates today.
Who is Eligible to File a Camp LeJeune Water Contamination Lawsuit?
The Camp LeJeune Justice Act of 2022 finally offered the appropriate relief for military members and their families that were exposed to harmful chemicals from the Camp LeJeune water contamination. Even family members of those who have passed away from their illnesses can still file a Camp LeJeune lawsuit because of this bipartisan bill.
Those eligible to file a Camp LeJeune lawsuit must meet the below eligibility requirements set forth by the federal government.
- Military records proving that you or your family member lived or worked for at least 30 days at Camp LeJeune (consecutively or non-consecutively)
- Lived or worked at Camp LeJeune between August 1, 1953, to December 31, 1987
- The health condition developed as a direct result of toxic exposure from Camp LeJeune contaminated water.
If you believe you or your loved one is eligible for compensation because of the Camp LeJeune Justice Act of 2022, contact a Sandy Springs attorney to learn more.
Damages for Camp LeJeune Water Contamination
A legal representative from Ashenden & Associates can help you recover damages for the harm caused by the contaminated water at Camp LeJeune. You could be entitled to financial compensation for the following:
- Medical bills
- Permanent illness or disability
- Physical therapy
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Emotional distress
- Pain and suffering
- Funeral and burial expenses if exposure to the contaminated water supply at Camp LeJeune resulted in wrongful death
When filing a Camp LeJeune lawsuit, acquiring legal representation from a law firm with experience handling even the most complex cases is essential. The harm caused to so many men and women while they lived or worked at Camp LeJeune should not have happened had the appropriate measures been taken when the contamination was initially discovered. This is why seeking compensation is so important for those who were affected. The Camp LeJeune attorneys at Ashenden & Associates are prepared to help you fight against our own government in order to receive appropriate relief and recover compensation.
Determining Camp LeJeune Settlement Amounts
The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that they will spend over $6.1 billion between 2022 and 2023 on Camp LeJeune claims and other related cases. Several factors will be evaluated when determining your settlement amount when pursuing a Camp LeJeune lawsuit.
Some of the circumstances the courts will consider include:
- Time spent at Camp LeJeune: You or your family member must have lived or worked at Camp LeJeune for at least 30 days during the exposure time frame. The amount of time spent at the military base can also impact your settlement amount.
- Medical history: The courts will review medical records to determine if you or your family member had underlying health issues prior to the toxic exposure from Camp LeJeune.
- Medical expenses: Some illnesses caused by chemical exposure are worse than others and require more extensive treatments and medical care. If you or your loved one needed long-term care in relation to your medical condition, this can increase the amount of compensation you could be entitled to.
- Lost wages or earning potential: If you or your loved one could not work or continue working due to your water contamination-related health condition, you could receive more financial compensation than those who could continue working.
Since so many men and women were exposed to the dangerous toxins in the drinking water at Camp LeJeune, it’s important that you’re able to prove a direct connection from your illness to the contaminated water. Hiring an experienced attorney can help you through the legal process and ensure that you have all the information necessary to prove your Camp LeJeune claim is crucial to the success of your case.

Hareem Ismail picked up her 9-year-old daughter from school three hours early Friday, dropped off the girl at a relative's home, and headed to City Hall to do something she had never done before: Demonstrate.
Ismail, a Muslim from Pakistan who has lived in the United States for 13 years, now residing in Downingtown, said she felt compelled to speak up for her faith to counter hate speech aimed at Muslim Americans, which she said has grown "out of control."
Ismail was amid about 75 others: A dentist from Moorestown. A sales executive from Cherry Hill. And a psychologist - a Methodist - from Pennington, N.J. Others in the crowd also were demonstrating for the first time.
"What the U.S. represents to us is unity and love," Ismail said. Fearing Muslims and discriminating against them, she said, "is not what this country represents to us."
That message became a theme of the rally, organized by South Jersey Muslims and backed by other religious groups.
At the center of the demonstration was a strong condemnation of ISIS and the recent terrorist attacks in California and France.
"These recent actions in Paris and San Bernardino were like a stab in the heart," said Betty Ali, 71, of Haddon Heights, a former Catholic nun who converted to Islam after marrying an Egyptian Muslim. "It's like your loved ones are falsely accused of a murder they didn't commit. The last couple of events were like thunder."
Organizers had not widely publicized the rally, as a safety precaution, but wanted to stage it in Philadelphia to give greater exposure to their message of peace.
Owais Lari, 55, a software engineer who lives in Cherry Hill and is president of the Pakistan-American Society of South Jersey, came up with the idea of the demonstration last Saturday after attending a meeting of area Muslims.
He and a friend, Asim Shafi, got to talking.
"It was Owais' idea," Shafi said. "He said, 'Hey, Asim, let's do this.' "
On Monday, the plan received support from individuals of other faiths at a meeting of the Jewish-Catholic-Muslim Dialogue of Southern New Jersey.
"The group is attempting to find how to change hearts and minds," Jack Callahan, 82, a Catholic member of the group, said earlier this week.
"We are there to support and stand by them," added David Snyder, 46, also a member of the group, and executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Southern New Jersey.
Outside City Hall on Friday, one man carried an American flag, and others held various signs: "Islam Means Peace." "We Condemn Terrorism." "Love for All. Hate for None."
Minus a heckler who walked by shouting "I love Donald Trump," the demonstration went on uninterrupted.
Joanne Booth, 62, the Methodist from Pennington, said she wanted to show support for Muslim Americans, whom she called "our Muslim brothers and sisters."
"Some people think that all Muslims are terrorists, and I think that's a ridiculous conclusion to make," she said. "We can't condemn an entire religion for the acts of a few."
The calls for understanding come at an increasingly anxious time for Muslim Americans.
GOP presidential candidate Trump on Monday called for a ban on Muslims entering the country, a proposal that drew condemnation from many world and local leaders, including Mayor Nutter.
And in North Philadelphia on Monday morning, a pig's head was found outside a mosque. Police and the FBI have no suspects. Nutter called whoever tossed the head there a coward.
Shafi, 47, a sales executive for a software company who lives in Cherry Hill and helped organize Friday's rally, had his own tale of discrimination.
He said a classmate of his daughter's called her a terrorist about five years ago, when she was in middle school in Cherry Hill, after a speech she gave about Muslims.
Shafi said he was concerned about people spewing similar hate speech today.
"There is a lot of that going on," he said. But he wants people to know, he said, that Muslims are just like other U.S. citizens trying to raise families. "We stand with Americans."

Let’s face it: anxiety is real, can be debilitating, and on top of that, it’s an incredibly nuanced concept…for everyone. Admittedly, the stressors and pressures the various generations face could not be more different, but one thing remains; mental health is a topic that everyone can benefit from discussing. Anxiety is much more common than we may think, and generational perspectives on mental health have widely shifted to fit the times.
In this guide, we’ll cover how the generations have traditionally viewed anxiety and mental health, the tools they have been equipped with to deal with this hurdle, as well as a larger discussion regarding ideas to promote wellness and adequate mental health. The TL;DR is this: anxiety is normal, anxiety does not discriminate based on age, and further, working through these issues requires teamwork and open-mindedness from all generations involved.
What are your initial thoughts on this broad topic? Have you experienced anxiety, and if so, how does your particular generation discuss it (if at all)? How do you hope the mental health conversation shifts in coming years? Be sure to leave a comment, and while you’re here, subscribe to our award-winning newsletter for more open conversations that aim to connect the generations through understanding. Let’s dive in!
Anxiety. What is it?
The Mayo Clinic defines anxiety as “intense, excessive and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. Often, anxiety disorders involve repeated episodes of sudden feelings of intense anxiety and fear or terror that reach a peak within minutes (panic attacks)”. (Mayo Clinic, 2018)
These thoughts and feelings come and go as they please, and tend to have serious impacts on an individual’s physical well being, too. Cue extreme sweating, trembling, elevated heart rate, and more. It’s not fun, nor is it easily brushed-off.
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is by far the most common of the subcategories of “anxiety” as a whole. Worrisome thoughts flood the brain, even when dealing with the most routine, mundane tasks. It is estimated that nearly 6.8 million adults experience GAD, which turns out to be about 3.1% of the United States population. Now that we know how far-reaching this issue is, let’s break it down.
Baby Boomers and Anxiety
Born in an era of economic prosperity and raised with a “pick yourself up from the bootstraps” mentality, Baby Boomers’ discussions surrounding anxiety and mental health with their family, friends, or physicians were quite limited as they grew up…if they even existed at all. Toughness and grit were two words commonly used to describe those who identify as Boomers, and the mere idea of being “anxious” was viewed as a weakness (as opposed to a true chemical disorder that, in reality, was concurrently being experienced by millions).
The anxieties experienced by Baby Boomers are unique. While this generation may not have had to directly endure inflated numbers for a college education or the down payment of a home, shifting characteristics of what it means to live, work and eventually retire have caused unexpected stress for people who never thought they would have to deal with this at all. So how are Baby Boomers dealing with this new challenge today?
Primarily, this generation is becoming more amenable to therapy and speaking with their loved ones about these issues. The generation still remains the most likely to delay mental health care, but with the help of more publicized de-stigmatization regarding mental health, those statistics are changing…not to mention the younger generations are all-in for expanding mental healthcare access and support. In short, Baby Boomers gravitate toward candid conversations with their younger counterparts to navigate the unique set of challenges they face as they progress through life.
Gen X and Anxiety
Generation X includes those who were born between 1965 and 1980, and like the Boomers, experienced a relatively prosperous upbringing with regard to finances and opportunity. Now, however, this generation is experiencing anxiety and stress at record high levels as compared to thirty years ago.
Why? Well, the anxieties have been born largely from job insecurities and what we will call “Middle Child Syndrome”. These individuals are making less money than their parents did but more money than their Millennial/Gen Z children, and yet, they still face hardships when it comes to paying medical bills, mortgage payments, or affording to do the things they truly love to do. What doesn’t help is the crossroads between their position in the world and the rapid growth of technology; they’re semi-comfortable with new and innovative trends in tech, but they still worry about the future of automation and their jobs potentially becoming obsolete.
The upside to this “Middle Child” phenomenon is that Gen X is deeply in-tune with the happenings of the generation that precedes and succeeds them. As parents of Z-llennials, they may have been more accustomed to discussions related to mental health. Statistically speaking, Gen X’ers are slightly less likely to turn to therapy, but are incredibly receptive to those closest to them. They call Millennials the “Therapy Generation”, so it is especially important to share your experiences with your Gen X peers!
Z-llennials and Anxiety
Last but not least, the Z-llennials. It comes as no surprise that this destigmatizing hybrid-generation is the quickest to discuss the topic of anxiety and also the quickest to address it. Born in the last forty(ish) years, Z-llennials have quickly been dubbed one of the most anxious generations yet (with a global pandemic, a handful of housing crises, crippling student debt and an over-exaggerated sense of connectedness on the internet all in their most formative years…can you blame them?).
The characteristics of GAD and other specific forms of anxiety have been publicized and educated on throughout this generation’s lives. Awareness campaigns for psychological disorders spring up on campuses yearly and there is absolutely no shame in asking Z-llennial employers for a “mental health day”. This is largely because many families began discussing mental health as it began to lose its negative connotation in the 90’s and early 2000’s. As a result, Z-llennials don’t think twice about working through their problems with others and encouraging everyone around them to do the same, too.
Because they are intentional about seeking help with their struggles with anxiety and have a general plan of action, it is often helpful to encourage Z-llennials to investigate the root of their struggles. Oftentimes, the driving factor for these feelings of worry and hopelessness is the very thing that defines their generation: social media and the seemingly unlimited access to information. Encouraging your Z-llennial loved ones to put the phone down, partake in social media cleanses or choose to look at content that will uplift rather than discourage is always a great strategy for anxiety alleviation.
Understanding and empathizing with the diverse community you interact with on a daily basis is something we all strive to do. By stepping back and evaluating the issue of anxiety – and how it affects the generations in massively different ways – we can begin to help each other more effectively. Anxiety is a difficult topic for some, but it should never be stigmatized or frowned upon. We’re all in this together! What are your thoughts after reading this guide? How will you address anxiety in your own personal life through a generational lens?

A plea in the Supreme Court citing ‘professional duty’ of Republic TV & Zee TV states that no FIR can be launched against any media house until it is sanctioned by the Press Council of India. The petition is primarily based on the recent spate of FIRs against Arnab Goswami and Sudhir Chaudhary for allegedly inciting hate between two religious’ communities.
In his plea to the apex court, Advocate Ghanshyam Upadhyay has stated that - “The court needs to preserve and protect the fundamental rights of the press, electronic and print media guaranteed under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution of India due to which general public becomes aware and able to form an opinion about the functioning of the respective governments and officers working under it.”
The petitioner highlighted how the two news channels mentioned in his plea have been so crucial in pointing out the reasons for the spread of this virus in India and facts about the Palghar lynching case.
The plea heard in the Supreme Court read as follows - “Republic TV and Zee News during the spread of the pandemic and consequent lockdown in the country telecast news on their respective TV channels and exposed Tablighi Jamaat/ Maulana Saad responsible for spreading the deadly virus all over the country. Similarly, the Republic TV questioned the Congress President for maintaining complete silence after the brutal massacre of the two Hindu Saints and their driver at Palghar on 16.04.2020.”
The petition further elucidates about how these two TV channels have been rendering invaluable services to the nation by “raising issues of great public importance, exposing anti-national element and their anti-national activities and sinister design of destabilizing the country” and that this is done to establish their own theories and way of governance, which cannot be countenanced.
While holding the prior sanction for FIR against the press the plea also prayed before the court to issue guidelines so that the sanctioning authority decides the application submitted by aggrieved person/s who seeks to lodge/file FIR/ prosecution against the press/media and its people for the offenses punishable under sections 295A, 153, 153A, 153B, 298, 500, 504, 505(2), 506(2) r/w Section 120-B of the Indian Penal Code within a time-bound and systematic manner. It has also been claimed by Upadhyay that the two television channels which have been targeted, were performing their ‘professional responsibility’ and ‘duty towards the people of the country.’
The petition while stating that if the court does not lay a guideline then there was “every possibility of disgruntled element resorting to silence/crush and suppress media by entangling them in false, frivolous and vexatious FIRs” also expresses apprehension of some more grave danger to the journalists.

Towards the end, as Dublin started taking kickout marks for the first time all night and swishing points at will, James Horan had no aces left to play. His 2020 version of the Mayo football team may have changed plenty in terms of personnel but it has lots in common with earlier models. Still lacking nothing in character, still finding the cupboard all too bare when it comes to panel depth.
Darren Coen's point off the bench made it a grand total of 0-4 from Mayo substitutes for the whole of the 2020 championship. When Dublin can keep Paul Mannion, Brian Howard, Cormac Costello and Colm Basquel back for the minutes that matter, that's never going to get it done.
“We did a lot of things right,” Horan said afterwards. “We were still in it with 12 or 13 minutes to go. But we maybe ran out of juice a little bit and were a bit loose with some of the possession at times. And that cost us.
“Dublin got stronger and stronger as the game went on. Some of their subs made a big difference. I just think maybe we didn’t get the impact that we’d have liked from some of the guys coming on or whatever it was. But some of the subs that came on - Brian Howard, Paul Mannion - they won a lot of primary possession on us. They were dangerous and that had a big impact in the end.”
We have been here before, of course. That’s what makes these encounters such a killer for Mayo. They know they can match stride with Dublin for some of the way. They know that when they put their minds to it, they’re one of probably only two teams who can live at Dublin’s altitude and not feel their eyes pop at the thought of it. But they know too, from long and bitter experience, that they run out of bodies before Dublin run out of artillery.
Problem is, they can never keep enough in the tank to compensate for that disadvantage in the closing quarter. If they somehow managed to get to the last 10 minutes with a decent lead, you could see a scenario where they got through it on will alone. But they’ve never been able to test that theory, primarily because they’ve always given up too many dumb goals at the wrong time.
It’s Mayo’s original sin. Has been since the start of all this. They have appeared in six All-Ireland finals in eight years, including replays. In four of those games, the opposition’s first score has been a goal.
In order: Michael Murphy, 2012, third minute; Kevin McLoughlin own goal, 2016, ninth minute; Con O'Callaghan, 2017, 83 seconds; Dean Rock, 2020, 13 seconds. Three of the six quickest goals in the history of All-Ireland finals have been scored against Mayo, all since 2012.
This is ridiculous. It’s strapping a bag of bricks to your back at the foot of the Alpe d’Huez. It’s doing the Liffey Swim carrying a kettlebell. The fact that they were back level here within a couple of minutes must only make it more maddening for them. They did the same in 2017, responding to O’Callaghan’s goal with the next three points, albeit not as quickly. The idea of equalising before the other team score has been alien to them.
“Yeah look, Dublin are a goal threat on multiple fronts, at any time,” Horan said afterwards. “The first goal was very early, but I thought our response and composure in the first half was very good. Our kickouts and opposition kickouts we did very well, got some good scores.
“We missed a few ones that fell short into the goalies hands, they are a killer. But overall our response to the two goals was very good. I just felt we had a lot of possession. Some of it we lost very cheaply and that cost us in the end.
“But going into the last quarter even there was a point in it at that stage. We were looking in a strong position coming into the water break but Dublin were very good in the last quarter and controlled it well. We had a few rushed shots, there were a few balls bounced around the middle that we could have got, but they got them.”
As for where they go next, onwards is the only option. They can start training for the league in three weeks, Division Two starts at the end of February with Down, Meath and Westmeath for company. The road back feels long this morning but it’s shorter than it’s ever been.
"We can take a huge amount from the season," Horan said. "You saw the performances of Ryan O'Donoghue and Oisín Mullin today, the likes of Eoghan McLaughlin, Tommy Conroy, Jordan Flynn over the season. There's an awful lot of guys who have learned a huge amount in a short space of time. Next year's season will be coming very quickly so we'll have to think about that very soon."

How many of us have struggled – or are struggling – with weight loss? Well, thanks to the Dukan diet, losing weight does not have to be a struggle. There are plenty of other diets around that promise to help you shed pounds quickly, few are effective, and fewer are healthy. The Dukan diet focuses on one science-backed principle of weight loss – low carbs and high protein. As a result, you can lose fat quickly without feeling weak or messing up your metabolism.
What sets this diet apart from the others is that you can lose up to 10lbs in just 7 days. One week you can barely fit in that gorgeous dress, and the next week you’re rocking it as if it’s a perfect fit! Before jumping on though, it’s important that you go through the principles of the Dukan diet.
Because of so many fad diets and half-knowledge, we do not realise that some of the foods that we consider healthy actually aren’t healthy at all. Similarly, foods that we consider unhealthy can actually help speed up the weight loss process – foods like poultry & dairy, cheese, and bread. We highly recommend checking out the list of 100 Food Items that you should consume for best results.
What you need to understand about weight loss is that unlike what some self-proclaimed experts claim, it is not as easy as “calories in vs calories out”. What truly makes the difference is the quality of calories you consume and how you burn off those calories.
The Dukan diet’s prime focus is protein – the building block of our body. Without sufficient protein in our diets, we would start losing muscle. This can have a detrimental effect on our body since we would slow down our metabolism, not feel as energetic and would feel noticeably weaker. A common misconception is that only bodybuilders require protein, but we can assure you that’s certainly not the case. A great deal of research has been carried out to settle the “to protein or not to protein” debate.
While protein is the prime focus, this diet does not ignore other essential macro and micronutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, fibre, and various vitamins and minerals. If you stick to this diet then not only will you lose weight but you will be eating truly balanced meals and feel healthier.
It works in four phases:
The best part about this systematic diet plan is that you can tailor it to how much weight you wish to lose! Simply adjust your portion sizes and you can control how much weight you lose.
Here are a few steps that will help you shred that fat and shed those pounds.
Know what you eat
It helps tremendously if you know what you eat at present. Use a calorie counting app to measure how much of what you eat. This should give you a rough idea and you can work from there.
Next, focus on the types of foods that you can eat. Make a list of foods that you need to stop eating and a list of foods that you should continue eating. It’s important to not overdo it because you want a healthy diet that is sustainable.
Here’s a list of some of the types of foods that you can eat and why:
- Proteins: as we mentioned before, protein is the main focus of this diet and this macronutrient is extremely important (and often overlooked) while trying to lose weight in a healthy manner. You should include as much protein as you can in your diet.
- Vegetables: these are vital for any healthy weight loss regime since they have tons of micronutrients, fibre, antioxidants and complex carbs in the right quantities. However, do note that not all vegetables are created equal and some are healthier than others. You can refer to the List of 100 Foods for more information on this.
- Fruits: like vegetables, fruits are very important to have a balanced diet. They contain a lot of fibre, necessary vitamins and minerals, and can freshen up your body. You will have to limit your fruit intake though since they contain a lot of carbs and sugar which can slow down the weight loss process.
- Whole wheat bread: you can replace whole wheat bread with any other complex carb like whole wheat pasta, brown rice, whole wheat tortillas, etc. Carbs are important as they act as an energy source for your body and you will feel weak and dizzy if your carb intake is too less. As long as you keep a ratio of 2:1 of proteins and carbs in your meals you should be set.
- Cheese: who knew cheese would help you lose weight? Well, it’s true. Cheese contains tons of nutrition and it will help you get through the rest of your diet. While it is calorie dense, you can have a slice or two per day.
- Starch: starchy foods such as potatoes also provide energy and can be consumed in limited quantities.
- Celebration meals: this is the best part about the Dukan diet. This meal includes whichever food you like. Yes, you read that right. You can eat your favourite food and still lose weight. You do need to control the quantity though since some common favourite foods are very high in calories. A slice of pizza, for example, can have 300 calories.
Dukan Diet Pyramid
The pyramid states what foods you will be eating at what stage in your diet. One common food on all days will be a tablespoon of oatmeal (this is mandatory). Since the diet lasts for seven days, there are seven ‘layers’ in the pyramid:
- Lean protein: you eat these right from Day One. This includes poultry, eggs, fish, lean meat, whey protein, or even tofu for vegans. Avoid
- Vegetables: you can include vegetables in your diet from Day Two. As discussed before, they’re required for a healthy weight loss. You can have all vegetables except potatoes and beans.
- Fruits: they can be consumed Day Three onwards. Nutritionists say that if you have a sweet tooth and crave something sweet during the day or after meals, a small portion of fruit can be eaten.
- Carbohydrates: foods such as whole wheat bread, sweet potatoes, brown rice, etc can be eaten from Day Four. As we mentioned earlier, try not to eat too many of these.
- Cheese: one or two slices per day can be eaten from Day Five.
- Starch and Simple Carbs: carbs are of two major types – simple and complex. Complex carbs can be eaten in larger quantities than simple carbs since they tend to be healthier. Come Day Six though and you can have foods such as oats, potatoes, white rice, cornmeal etc. in small amounts.
- Celebration meal: after losing all that weight, it’s time to reward yourself! You can eat practically anything you please as long as you control the portion sizes.
With the nutrition dealt with, let’s come to physical activity. If you’re worried that you’ll have to do strenuous workouts lasting for hours, you’re wrong. Instead, you just have to go on a brisk walk for a few minutes. Sounds unbelievable? Well, believe it!
The rules of the Quick Dukan Diet recommend starting with 10 or so minutes of brisk walking and building that up to 40 minutes towards the end of the week. You can always substitute this for any proper workout programme as long as it is intense enough. You could look into High-Intensity Interval Training, too, which can speed up to weight loss process by a lot.
Yes, it really is THAT easy! No fancy exercises, no fad diets and no gimmicks. If you follow this diet religiously and are consistent with your workout, you really can lose up to 10 lbs in just a week. If you wish to lose more fat, you can always continue the diet for more than a week. It completely depends on your goals and preferences.
Best of luck!

Image: Wikimedia Commons For many people, the word ‘arsenic’ conjures up thoughts of murder mysteries and, in fact, arsenic has been a popular murder weapon since the middle ages. In the Victorian era, arsenic trioxide found favour as a cosmetic and it has also been used in both Chinese and Western medicine. Most recently, arsenic trioxide has been used to treat acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) that is unresponsive to first line therapies.
Arsenic trioxide is able to induce complete remission in patients with relapsed or refractory APL and is generally well-tolerated with minimal chemotherapy-related side effects. How arsenic trioxide kills cancer cells is not clear but scientists in China and France believe they have made a key step towards solving the mystery. APL cells are characterised by the occurrence of chromosomal translocations involving the retinoic acid receptor α gene (RARα)and the promyelocytic leukaemia gene (PML). These translocations lead to production of a fusion protein, PML-RORα that has altered functions and protects the cells from apoptosis. Arsenic trioxide triggers small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteins to tag PML-RORα as part of a degradation mechanism. The new study has shown that the arsenic binds directly to cysteine residues in zinc fingers located within RBCC (N-terminal RING finger/B-box/coiled coil) domains of PML causing cross-linking and oligomerisation. The aggregated protein then undergoes SUMO modification and degradation. The identification of PML as a direct target of arsenic trioxide provides new insights into how the drug is able to treat APL and may lead to new treatment options.
The study is published in the journal Science.

Cats Eyes Watering And Red. Watery eyes are a common symptom of this condition. One of the conditions a cat might suffer from is watery eyes.
The disease may develop no further and the animal is completely recovered in a week. Red eye in cats is a symptom of an underlying disease, ocular irritation, or injury to a feline’s eyes. —epiphora (excessive watering of the eyes from various causes such as blocked tear duct) —dry eye —allergies —others.
The eyes of the cat are red and are inflamed.
Any ideas of what it could be. While cats don't generally suffer from the type of allergies that result in itchy, watery eyes, irritants in their environment can produce a similar effect. Cats can be allergic to a variety of substances, such as pollen, dust, mold, chemicals or foods. Up to 60 percent of your cat's sleep is rem sleep, three times more than we have when we are asleep.

Departing from Pakistan’s declared policy on Kashmir, Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday said that Islamabad would let the people of Kashmir decide if they want to join Pakistan or become an “independent state”.
India has asserted that Jammu and Kashmir “was, is and shall forever” remain an integral part of India.
Addressing an election rally in Tarar Khal area of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) ahead of the polls on July 25, Khan also rejected claims by a leading Opposition leader that his government was working on a plan to make Kashmir a province of Pakistan.
The response came after Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Maryam Nawaz addressing an election gathering in PoK on July 18 said that a decision had been taken to change the status of Kashmir and make it a province.
“I do not know where all this talk (about province) has sprung from,” Khan said, while dismissing any such idea.
Instead, the prime minister said that a day would come when Kashmiris would be allowed to decide their future as per the UN resolutions and expressed the confidence that the people of Kashmir on that day would decide to join Pakistan.
He added that following the UN mandated referendum, his government will hold another referendum to give the people of Kashmir a choice to either live with Pakistan or become an independent state.
As per Pakistan’s declared policy on Kashmir, the issue should be resolved as per the UN resolution through a referendum allowing Kashmiris to choose either Pakistan or India.
Prime Minister Khan departed from the policy by talking about the third option. There is no third option of independence in the UN resolution.
India has previously made it clear that the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir is an integral and inalienable part of India. New Delhi has also told Islamabad that issues related to Jammu and Kashmir are its internal matter and the country is capable of solving its own problems.
Friday was the last day of campaigning for elections in PoK on July 25.

A second Credit today to the New York Post for a nice scoop on the possible sale of a large stake in New York City’s Chrysler Building.
Reporter Lois Weiss explains:
Sources say the super-rich Abu Dhabi Investment Council is negotiating an $800 million deal for a 75 percent stake in the Art Deco treasure that has defined the Midtown skyline since 1930.
The Chrysler assets would be purchased from TMW—the German arm of an Atlanta-based investment fund that’s been eager to cash out of its Chrysler stake.
This news comes amid a spate of big New York City real estate deals, either closed or under negotiation, most notably the recent sale of the GM Building.
With the Chrysler scoop, the Post had the rest of the press on its heels.
All of these follow-ups, with the glaring exception of the FT, credited the Post for the scoop—as they should have.
The Post has been on a bit of a roll lately with its real-estate reporting, with another excellent scoop, on the latest New York City crane disaster, appearing the same day as the Chrysler story, and, as we wrote this morning, some nice ground zero analysis appearing in recent weeks as well.

2631 River Drive Denver, CO 80211
Due to the health concerns created by Coronavirus we are offering personal 1-1 online video walkthough tours where possible.
If modern contemporary architecture combined with a stunning historic neighborhood is of interest to you, then look no further because this is it! Iconic River Drive has character and charm that's as good as it gets in NW Denver. Just 50-something steps to Jefferson Park (four blocks long). It's about 40-steps to Briar Common Brewery + Eatery, one of NW Denver's best hangouts. Many other coffee shops, restaurants and shops are skipping distance away. It'd be nearly impossible to find a better combination of walkability and commutability than this location being about as city-close as anything could be in any of the wildly-popular NW Denver neighborhoods. Confluence Park (think REI & the Aquarium), Riverfront Park, LoDo, LoHi, Cherry Creek, and The South Platte River are all walkable or rideable in just a few minutes via a protected bike lane that's less than 30-feet from the garage of this home. Interior finishes are splendid. The natural light is amazing. The room sizes are grand and it's a great open-concept main floor. These original owners have made some significant upgrades to doors, appliances, home automation and more. The ceiling height in the basement + three gigantic egress windows + rough-in for a fifth bathroom make this a phenomenal space for a mother in law suite, a theatre, a second home office or so much more. The outdoor living spaces are inspiring including an enormous rooftop deck where you have breathtaking downtown views, a balcony on the second floor, a front porch, and fenced yard where you and your pup can socialize with the neighbors and a private back patio and yard where you might enjoy a BBQ with your friends.

The essay explains the role of the urban landscape of fragmented modern cities, and proposes to remove superfluous and unnecessary features built into urban stratifications in order to better remark the original essence of the space. Thus, landscape will still propose the value system of a specific society without any kind of fake or imitation, and public space should overcome its own crisis of identity born with our car civilization and the reduction of spatial distances.
