"Please don’t judge on what is gonna be coming out,” he said. “Glass half full. All the good things that he’s done. There’s more things on that side to focus on.”
“Because he is such a high profile guy, you know it is not going to end there," he added. "There is going to be ridicule about — he has done this or that — and I just hope people know it is not about that. … His life was full of beautiful stories, triumphs, failures and successes that it does not matter what his problems were. … It matters how many lives he changed and that he was genuine.”

The Declaration of Independence - 10 Interesting Facts You May Have Never Heard Of Before

Believe it or not, the Unites States Day on Independence isn't believed to be exactly on the 4th. Yes, that is just one of the interesting facts but we'll go more into the details of that.

An article from Yahoo News explains why the US' Independence Day might not really have been on the 4th of July along with 10 other historic and interesting facts about the Declaration of Independence.

1. Is Independence Day really July 2?

Officially, the Continental Congress declared its freedom from Britain on July 2, 1776, when it approved a resolution and delegates from New York were given permission to make it a unanimous vote. John Adams thought July 2 would be marked as a national holiday for generations to come.

2. July 4 is when the Declaration was adopted

After voting on independence, the Continental Congress needed to finalize a document explaining the move to the public. It had been proposed in draft form by the Committee of Five (John Adams, Roger Sherman, Robert Livingston, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson) and it took two days for the Congress to agree on the edits.

3. Six people signed the Declaration and also the Constitution

Franklin was literally among a handful of people who signed both historic documents. The others were George Read, Sherman, Robert Morris, George Clymer and James Wilson.

4. But they didn’t sign the Declaration on July 4^th!

Once the Congress approved the actual Declaration on Independence document on July 4, it ordered that it be send to a printer named John Dunlap. About 200 copies of the Dunlap Broadside were printed, with John Hancock’s name printed at the bottom. Today, 26 copies remain.

5. So what if I stumble upon a lost version of the Dunlap Broadside at a flea market?

That’s exactly what happened in 1989 in Adamstown, Pa. It was tucked behind an old picture in a frame and it cost the buyer $4. That version of the Declaration was eventually acquired by TV producer Norman Lear for $8.1 million.

Yahoo News reported the new CEO as saying:

"There are lots of gadgets in this space right now, but there's nothing great out there," Cook said at the technology conference. "But none of them are going to convince a kid that hasn't worn glasses or a band to wear one. There are a lot of problems to solve in this space. It's ripe for exploration." Recently a number of fitness wristbands were released, which pair with a phone and track steps and calories burned.

The iWatch would be a new category or type of device for Apple, but the company is also planning to refresh its iPhone. The iPhone 5S has already been rumored to have the same design as the current iPhone 5, but have a faster chip and a fingerprint reader. The International Business Times reports that it will launch on September 20. Apple released the iPhone 5 last September 21.

Lisicki had to dig deep in the third set, fighting back from a three-games-to-none deficit. Afterward, she giggled and expressed her disbelief about beating the No. 1 player in the world.
