The Science Behind Naps!
I was never a big fan of naps until about seven years ago. Then I learned how to listen to my body and get the rest when my body needed it. With all the work we do, it is important to be refreshed and healthy.
It was certainly a great pleasure to read an article in Fast Company about the science behind naps. I was already a fan of naps so now it just got increased after the reading.

Racist Baseball Fans Super Angry Marc Anthony Sang “God Bless America”
Welcome to America!
This has got to be the most foolish thing I have seen this week. Good thing these uninformed clowns have no shame in shaming themselves.
These baseball fans were offended that a “mexican”/”not-american”/”spanish” guy sang “God Bless America” at the beginning of the All Star Game. Actually Marc Anthony was born in New York City and he is of Puerto Rican descent. And so am I.
I wish I did not have to explain by showing their racist remarks but you will not really feel what I am saying unless you see it yourself. Check the blog post here.
Malala & The Taliban
The Taliban decided to give a reason why shooting Malala Yousufzai was an “accident”. They did not target her because she championed girls’ education but because she was running an anti-Taliban “smear campaign”.
So an organization such as the Taliban bombs schools, murders teachers, shoots 15 year old girls, and expects the world to side with them and their desire for an Islamic system?
Hmmm, sounds a little strange to me.
You can read more in this BBC article.
Questlove & Trayvon Martin
I read this amazing article by Questlove on the New York Magazine website regarding Trayvon Martin and the Zimmerman trial. If you have not read it yet, I encourage you to experience it here.
Morning Article: Intellectual Life of a Navy Seal
“A SEAL’s smartest weapon is not a pistol, a rifle or a hand grenade (all of with which they are highly skilled). A SEAL’s smartest weapon, like a scholar’s, is his mind”

Morning Article: Pharmagedon
This is a very serious BBC article on the widespread overdosing of prescription drugs – http://bbc.in/jE1dMV
Morning Article: Making Circumcision Illegal?
Yes this goes in the bin of idiotic attempts by people to carve law on false pretenses of “harm” to babies. I wonder if this same group finds abortions “harmful” to babies too.
Okay so I am a little heated about this movement in California to make circumcision illegal. Really? Is this what people spend their time, energy and money doing? Read this NYT article – http://nyti.ms/jRGEew
I especially like the commentary to this issue by James Emery White – http://bit.ly/mRovGg
