President Barack Obama issued the following statement Sunday following the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial.
“The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. Not just for his family, or for any one community, but for America. I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son. And as we do, we should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our own communities. We should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis. We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this. As citizens, that’s a job for all of us. That’s the way to honor Trayvon Martin.”

Apparently, July 14th is “World Come Clean Day.” Sky Sports News and The Telegraph have both reported that five Jamaicans, including Asafa Powell and Nesta Carter, have tested positive for a banned substance.The BBC reports that Powell’s management company has confirmed the positive test.This news comes just hours after Pat Graham of The Associated Press announced that Tyson Gaytested positive for a banned substance. Reportedly, no “B” samples have been tested.
Powell is currently ranked third in the world with a 9.88 finish in Lausanne. He’s the fourth fastest 100m sprinter of all-time behind Usain Bolt, Gay, and Yohan Blake.
George Zimmerman‘s brother, Robert Zimmerman, Jr., is clearly delusional. Last night, he appeared on CNN after his brother was found not guilty of manslaughter and murder charges and painted the victim, the late Trayvon Martin, as a machine gun toting drug dealer.
“We have to grow from this,” Zimmerman, Jr. told Piers Morgan. “I want to know what make people angry enough to attack someone the way Trayvon Martin did. I want to know if it’s true, and I don’t know if it’s true, that Trayvon Martin was looking to procure firearms, was growing marijuana plants or was making lean or whatever he was doing.”
From there he goes on to mention that his brother was dedicated to service, expressed dismay at people calling for harm to his kin and made sure to mention George mentored two Black kids. Hey, at least Zimmerman didn’t kill them, right? Also, Trayvon Martin wasn’t the one with the gun.
Sadly, Zimmerman, Jr’s asinine views are in line with a lot more people than are willing to admit it. Watch the segment below.

Tyson Gay has tested positive for a banned substance and will not compete in the World Championships next month.In a phone conversation from Amsterdam, Gay told reporters, “I don’t have a sabotage story. … I basically put my trust in someone and was let down.”The sample came from an out-of-competition on May 16th. Gay has not revealed the substance and his “B” sample has yet to be tested.
After coming back from groin and hamstring injuries, Gay looked to be a favorite at the IAAF World Championships in Moscow, Russia. He had run seasonal bests in the 100m (9.75) and 200m (19.74) at the U.S. Championships in late June.

Skin is such an integral part to beauty and women have been searching for ways to make it perfect since the beginning of time. There are facials and creams and treatments all geared towards giving us glistening youthful skin, but we don’t realize that we can spend just a few minutes in our refrigerator to find just what we need.
Here are eight foods to help you achieve it.
1. Avocados
Though very rich, avocados can help to eliminate under eye circles and their rich supply of vitamin E promotes circulation.
2. Berries
If you are looking to turn back the hands of time, try eating some strawberries or blueberries. They help to prevent aging and give an added dose of protection for your skin.
3. Broccoli
Broccoli and other green vegetables keep your skin moisturized by helping your body to produce sebum, which lubricates your skin and hair.
4. Carrots
We always associate carrots with being great for our eyesight, but they also work wonders for the scalp.
5. Mushrooms
Mushrooms contain loads of selenium which improves the skin’s elasticity and protects it from the harmful rays of the sun.
6. Oranges
Though the Vitamin C in oranges boosts our immune system, the vitamin A in the fruits help reduce inflammation of the skin and it keeps our pores clean.
7. Papaya
Though wonderful to eat, papayas also decrease the appearance of dark spots when placed on the skin.
8. Watermelon
Watermelons have loads of lycopene which help to keep the skin soft and smooth.
Dreams reveal our subconscious, sometimes they can be completely random and they don’t make sense, on average humans tend to have around 3 to 7 dreams a night, we dream around 2 to 3 hours in a whole night and the most interesting thing is that a 90% of the dream is lost the first minute we wake up, also if you have a partner who snores and keeps you up all night, he or she mustn’t be dreaming much, since its impossible to dream while snoring. These are just some facts and statistics about the science of dreaming,
1- There are no strangers in our dreams
The people we see in our dreams are persons who we have met or seen sometime before, but we cant remember, It could be someone who didn’t make an impact in our life but we could’ve seen that face at some point in our life. People who we meet along life become our history of characters that remains in our subconscious and they are used in your dreams.
2- REM sleep disorder
This is the stage of sleep during which dreaming occurs, there is a paralysis of the voluntary muscles and in a bad dream if we wake up it will take a few minutes for our muscles to respond.
3- Symbolism and Emotions
The most common emotion experienced in dreams is anxiety. Also the negative emotions in dreams are more common than positive ones, every dream is symbolic, even the most random one has a lot of symbolism behind it, symbolism that represent our lives who we feel think, etc.
4- Lucid dreams
They represent an alternate reality, it means you are aware that you are dreaming even though you are still asleep, best part about these dreams, you can actually control them.
5- Erotic dreams
These are common and lead to orgasms in both cases men and women.
-Men get erections during REM sleep, whether or not the man is having an erotic dream
-Women get their genitals engorged and lubricated during an erotic dream.
6- Male and female dreams
-Men: they dream more about strangers, violence, sexual activity, achievement, and outdoor events.
-Women: tend to have slightly longer dreams that feature more characters, women have more nightmares than men also are more likely to dream about their children, family or household activities.
7- Precognitive dreams
These are dreams that give you the sensation of predicting the future, but what they actually do is they express our innermost hopes and fears based on subconscious information that we may or may not be repressing.
8- Violent dreams
These dreams are known for causing people to act out their dreams, sometimes with violent actions like kicks and screams. There have been studies made that show indicate that violent dreams may be an early sign of some brain disorders it also includes Parkinson’s disease and dementia.
This has to do with right vs. left brain theories, in fact the right and left ears process sound differently, the left hemisphere of the brain dominates over the right in processing different sounds, this actually dominates in processing rapidly changing sounds such as in speech and words, and is important to take into consideration that the left side of the brain is the analytical part of the brain that’s why it is stimulated in processing the information more than the right ear. Same for the right ear, which dominates in processing prolonged tones such as in music and it, is also known as the creative side.
As for the phone calls, generally if you are a caring person you will put the phone to the right ear. Also, generally, when someone gets a call from someone they care about, they will put the phone to the right ear more frequently than the left.
