A new star was born at The O2 last night as Stefanos Tsitsipas became the youngest debut winner of the Nitto ATP Finals since John McEnroe.
The long-haired Greek, who looks more like Bjorn Borg, was urged to the biggest win of his young career by an adoring O2 crowd.
And the 21-year-old dropped his racquet and fell to his knees theatrically before kissing Dominic Thiem in celebration and consolation. The blond bombshell plays the crowd as well as he plays tennis. This Greek God has got the X Factor .
"You guys made me feel so emotional - I have never seen so much support on a stage like that," said the world No.6. "I owe it all to you.
"It was phenomenal. It was unbelievable to have have an army behind me. They gave me belief to achieve what I have achieved on the court. They gave me so much energy. I just love that. I would like to thank every single person who came to support with a Greek flag. It made me feel at home.
Tsitsipas is the fourth consecutive first-time winner of this season-ending event. Only 19-year-old McEnroe was younger when he took this title for the first time in 1978.
The Greek, who won the Next Gen event last year, started this season by beating Roger Federer on his way to the Australian Open semi-finals. And he finished it by beating the Swiss superstar again in the first event since 2010 where all of the the Big Three entered and none reached the final. It could finally signal the changing of the old guard.
Former champion Boris Becker said: "A superstar is born in my eyes. He is box office. The sport is in safe hands."
For the second time this year, a London final was decided in a thrilling final-set tiebreak. At Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic won the first ever version the longest ever singles final at the All England Club. And last night on the Greenwich Peninsula Tsitsipas won the longest final at The O2 6-7 6-2 7-6 in two hours and 35 minutes.
Thiem won the first set tiebreak after 65 minutes before Tsitsipas blitzed the second set in 26 minutes while dropping only two points on his serve. The Austrian fought back from a break down in the decider – and again from 4-1 down in the tiebreak – before the Greek took his first match point when Thiem could not control another blazing serve.
"This fight was a truly magnificent," said Tsitsipas. "It makes our sport great. Tennis is all about this.
"I've no clue how I played so well in the second set, I think my mind was at ease and I didn't give him much opportunity to play.It was frustrating to play with so many nerves but I'm so relieved I managed to win! It has been a rollercoaster. Holding this trophy feeling amazing."
Thiem, who lost his second French Open final in June, said: "We played an unbelievable final. We are playing the most brutal sport which exists, it was so close. Both were fighting 100% to the end. That is how it is in tennis. I really hope we are going to have some great finals in the future as well."
Frenchmen Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut, who lost in the final last year, claimed the doubles title by beating cruised beat Raven Klaasen and Michael Venus 6-3 6-4.

RCS Carpet Cleaning is here to help you by offering pet odor and pet stain removal in Washington, MO. We don't just cover up pet odors and stains, we use the latest chemical technology to eliminate them completely. Pet urine is much more than just a stain on the carpet. Fido's urine contains hormones, metabolites and bacteria that is very different than what Mittens the kitten leaves behind. That is why dog and cat urine smell so completely different. Chemistry!
Pet Stain Removal in Washington, MO
The Problem with Pet Stains
Pet urine contains concentrated uric acid that penetrates through the carpet, the pad and pools on the sub floor. This is why pet odor can be so frustrating to try to eliminate with household products! Uric acid is not very water soluble, which means normal means of getting at stains (hot water and synthetic detergents) will work in the short term, but any uric acid left behind will revert back to its crystalline form, turning back into salts known as urates.
RCS has the training and technology to chemically break down the uric acid salts with a pet stain specific pre-spray, then with a special tool we can focus our vacuum power in a targeted area to get all the way past the pad and pull the pet mess up off of the sub floor. After this process is completed we finish the area with a sanitizing spray that removes any of Fido's leftovers.
Call RCS Carpet Cleaning today for an in-home pet stain inspection!
Estimates are always free. RCS is fully insured through Barton Mutual and background checked through the Missouri FCSR.

We've always been fans of couch co-op here at Gamereactor, and it has been too long since we looked at the major consoles and considered the best local multiplayer games on each platform. That being the case, we're righting that wrong and have collected together a bunch of titles that offer exceptional multiplayer on Nintendo Switch. And so, in no particular order, here are some of our favourites.
Streets of Rage 4 - A classic series has returned and it does so in fine form. Streets of Rage 4 is fun to play on your own, sure, but it comes to life when you party up with a buddy (you can have up to four but we think it's balanced best for two). It's the newest addition to this vintage beat 'em up series and it carries on the traditions of old in the best possible way.
Monaco: What's Yours is Mine - Monaco has been around for some time but we're putting it in the list because it offers some of the very best local multiplayer around. If there are four of you looking for an adventure where everyone gets to feel important, this nailbiting heist game comes highly recommended.
Heave Ho If you're a fan of physics-based hijinks then look no further than Heave Ho, a game where strange bean-like creatures must drag themselves around levels using a firm grip and as much momentum as they can muster. When it works it's oh-so-satisfying, especially during some of the more challenging missions, but when you fail a jump, prepare to be splatted all over the scenery in this remorseless physics-platformer.
FIFA 20 - Recent editions of FIFA have come rocking custom game features that give players even more ways to play the beautiful game. This year's edition is no different, and while it's not the premium football experience on Switch that you'll get on PS4 or Xbox One, it's still a decent game that lets you play alone, in co-op, and against anyone who happens to be around.
Cuphead - If you've both got the temperament for it, then Cuphead is an excellent video game that offers some seriously intense co-op action. Challenge aside, though, it's also one of the most delicious-looking games you'll ever lay eyes on. If you're a run 'n' gun type of gamer, this one's essential playing and we can't say enough nice things about it.
Super Mario Maker 2 - The only thing more fun than making new levels together is playing them together straight after you've made them. Super Mario Maker 2 lets you do this, of course, but it also offers huge amounts of player-made content for you to sink your teeth into. Some of the levels that we've seen made using the game's tools are mental, too, but at least you know that someone has beaten a level before they've shared it, so there is at least some hope.
Diablo III: Eternal Collection - You'll need to establish some firm rules about when you can pause the game and upgrade your gear - and there's always new gear and upgrades in this monster-filled loot-fest - but Diablo III offers seriously polished dungeon crawling and oodles of action. It's not the best-looking version of the game, but it certainly looks good enough.
Super Mario Party - Nobody does party games better than Nintendo and the company has been honing the craft over many years. This generation's best offering on the Switch is probably Super Mario Party, which offers a host of engaging mini-games that will bring players together around a console for some fun and games.
Catastronauts - Yeah we probably could have recommended Overcooked, but we think Catastronauts deserves a bit of love too. We're especially fond of the Star Trek-inspired theme, which is a great fit for this particular brand of chaotic co-op gameplay, which has you working together to keep disaster at bay.
Worms WMD - There are few games better at letting you settle your differences in a manner that's both extremely violent and constantly endearing. That's the magic sauce that Team 17 has managed to cultivate over the years and it's what makes Worms WMD another quality entry in the long-running series. With turrets and vehicles thrown into the mix, purists might protest, but we think the additions are fine and fit the Worms-style just right.
Rocket League - When Rocket League first landed, we don't think many people could have predicted the game it would go on to become with esports competitions and constant updates and tie-ins. The premise is supremely simple, with teams up to three strong motoring around arenas and smacking giant balls into even bigger goals. It's not complicated stuff, but there's enough nuance to the gameplay that it's easy to play but hard to master and we're still playing after all these years.
Pokkén Tournament DX - The mainline Pokémon series is all about catching monsters in huge RPG experiences, but action-packing fighting game Pokkén Tournament DX is about those same pocket monsters taking to the arena and blasting each other with special moves that fill up the screen with visual effects. If you're not a Pokémon fan, consider swapping this one out for Arms, but we'd pick this one if you forced us to choose, you monster.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - We thought about going with a different kart racer for this entry but we just couldn't bring ourselves to do it. After first doing the business on Wii U, Mario Kart 8 was reworked for the Switch. The result is a kart racer stuffed full of content that's constantly engaging, although our favourite thing about the game is its accessibility options. Gamers of all ages can play this one together and have fun, and that sort of thing is priceless.
Snipperclips: Cut it out, together! - There's nothing quite like Snipper Clips out there, and that's why it's snuck into this list. Two players can work together on light puzzles, cutting themselves down to size in an effort to reach their brain-taxing objectives. If you're after something a little bit different, you might like the cut of this one's jib.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - We're not going to deny it, New Horizons isn't designed primarily as a co-op game, but that doesn't mean that we're not going to recommend it. You can only have one island per Switch, so bear that in mind if you pick this one up for two people to share (the alternative is you'll need two Switches, but that's not going to be a viable option for a lot of people). If you don't mind spending your time in a shared world, there's plenty for co-op buddies to do in this enchanting life sim.
Of course, there are plenty of games that we could have mentioned in this little round-up. Is there one that you think we should have included but didn't? Let us know in the comments below.

Laser Vision Correction
Laser Vision Correction: Lasik Surgery Near Me
If you're searching for Lasik surgery near me and you live in Dubai, then you are in luck. You've found the Lasik vision correction center that can take care of your eyes and restore the sight that you need. At Ultralasik Eye Center, we offer world-class Lasik eye surgery procedures. We treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our surgeon is a Harvard University fellow and one of the best refractive surgeons in the middle east.
Let's talk about laser vision correction. LASIK is one of several variations of laser refractive surgery, and the most commonly performed. It's a procedure that makes a lot of people nervous, but once Lasik surgery is complete, they wonder why they waited so long to find Lasik surgery near me.
What does laser vision correction involve?
We focus our images on the retina in the back of your eye. If you have myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism, laser vision correction can help. Nearsightedness means nearby objects look clear, but items that are far away are blurry. Farsightedness is the opposite, of course, with blurred vision when objects are close to you. It can also sometimes affect distant vision. Finally, if you have astigmatism, you'll find that it causes overall blurry vision. It disrupts your focus regardless of how close or far an object.
Before Lasik, each of these eye conditions would require a different prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses. With Lasik, you won't need to wear any of those once you heal from the surgery. If you're searching for Lasik surgery near me, go ahead and make an appointment for a consultation. We'll go over the procedure with you and test your eyes to make sure that you are a perfect candidate for laser vision correction.

Hundreds of sea turtles in the Gulf of Mexico have slipped into unresponsive states in recent days as a "bomb cyclone" sends frigid temperatures throughout eastern US, according to USA Today.
The turtles have been spotted stiff and motionless on local beaches in Florida, USA Today reports, and volunteers and employees for The Gulf World Marine Institute have rescued about 200 of them. The turtles are being rehabilitated with fluids, warm temperature, and muscle therapy, and are expected to recover.
Turtles are cold-blooded, so their bodies assume surrounding temperatures.
Take Action: Stand Up for the Arctic
The sudden drop in water temperature caused by the bomb cyclone has left many turtles "cold-shocked," which is when their bodies can no longer cope with the cold and begin to shut down, according to experts who spoke with USA Today.
This condition normally afflicts younger turtles who linger in shallow waters that get especially cold, the experts said. Older turtles, on the other hand, are strong enough to swim out to deeper waters where it's warmer and temperature fluctuations are not as sharp.
Normally, turtles are able to survive this state and simply thaw out when the water warms, but since the condition induces immobility, they can easily get hit by passing boats.
Read More: 3 Reasons Climate Change Is Real, Even Though It's Cold
The team rescuing the turtles expects to find many more if the cold weather persists, they told USA Today.
Turtles aren't the only animals being affected by the unusually cold temperatures across parts of the US.
Thresher sharks are washing up on the shores of Cape Cod Bay because of an erratic migration sparked by the plunge in temperatures. Iguanas in Florida are freezing and falling off trees. Manatees, meanwhile, struggle in temperatures below 68 degrees Fahrenheit and are crowding near power plants to stay warm, where they are at risk of being injured by boats.
Above all, these unusual situations are a reminder that most animals have a hard time adapting to extreme conditions.

As climate change increases the frequency of extreme weather events and alters baseline climates around the world, animals are struggling to adapt, according to a study published in 2017 that argues that the world has entered the sixth mass extinction of all time.
The study found that, in recent decades, billions of regional animals populations have been lost and that 50% of all individual animals have died during this period.
Reversing this environmental decline is part of the UN's Global Goals, which Global Citizen campaigns on. You can take action on this issue here.
More often than not, it's warmer temperatures that cause problems for animals. But for the turtles currently freezing in the Gulf of Mexico, some warmer weather would probably be nice right now.

Teacher of the Week: Jeff Johnson
The Courier & Press wants to highlight a group of people who affect the younger generations every day -- teachers.
Every Tuesday we will showcase one educator from a local Tri-State school.
This week...
Meet Jeff Johnson, a Central High School AP psychology teacher, who also serves as the social studies and world language department chair. Johnson has taught at Central for 12 years.
Courier & Press: What was your first job?
Jeff Johnson: McDonald's on St. Joe (Avenue).
C&P: What's your favorite tactic for getting students to pay attention?
JJ: I try to use as much humor as possible. Normally it's corny psychology jokes, but they do the trick. I would give you an example, but I'm a-Freud I can't think of any right now.
C&P: What are three items you have on your desk?
JJ: Computer, office supplies, iPhone
C&P: What's the funniest question you've ever received from a student?
JJ: "Do you know how much you remind me of Paul Blart, the mall cop?"
C&P: What's one teaching supply you can't live without?
JJ: Promethean Board
C&P: Debate... Chalkboard or whiteboard?
JJ: Whiteboard, no one has time for chalk dust.
C&P: What's your favorite school lunch?
JJ: Back in the day it was definitely steak nuggets dipped in mashed potatoes.
C&P: What was your favorite subject when you were in school? Why?
JJ: U.S. History. I had a great U.S. History teacher, Mr. Rob Spear, who emphasized the word "story" in the subject of U.S. History. His passion and knowledge of the subject, as well as his ability to relate to his students, left a lasting impact on me.
C&P: What's one item on your bucket list?
JJ: To one day be able to say that I have watched a game in every MLB park. Only 22 more to go...
C&P: What's the most difficult thing you've encountered being a teacher?
JJ: Struggling with myself wondering if I have done enough. Teachers work so hard to expand the knowledge of their students and to help their students have a better life. It can be a tough internal struggle as a teacher, wondering if you made each and every students' life better, if you gave it all that you had.
C&P: What's your favorite thing about being a teacher?
JJ: The students. No matter what type of day I'm having, when my students come into my room, they make me forget about what else might be going on. They have an unbelievable ability to make my life happy. They make me realize how lucky I am to do what I do.
C&P: Do you have a special talent? What is it?
JJ: None that I can think of.
C&P: If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
JJ: Green.
C&P: How do you pronounce crayon?
JJ: Cray-ahn (2 syllables).
C&P: If you weren't a teacher, what other job do you think you would like to do?
JJ: I always wanted to be involved in professional sports, but since I have zero athletic ability, I always wanted to be a radio/TV sports broadcaster.
C&P: What's the one food you can't live without?
JJ: I grew up on the West Side, so I cannot imagine not having my favorite Fall Festival foods (brain sandwich, donut burger, etc.)
C&P: Do you still have your tonsils? If not, when did you get them removed?
JJ: No. Removed many, many years ago.
C&P: Did you have braces? If so, do you have any stories about your experience with them?
JJ: Yes. I remember my mom getting a little upset with me when I chose neon green for the color of braces.
C&P: Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
JJ: No.
C&P: What's your biggest strength?
JJ: I would like to think that one of my biggest strengths is being able to relate to students and colleagues.
C&P: We know teachers are human, too. What is a weakness of yours?
JJ: I let things eat at me sometimes. If a lesson, or a meeting, or anything like that didn't go well, it can dominate my mind and my thoughts more than it probably should.
C&P: What are you listening to right now?
JJ: I normally listen to podcasts about baseball, fantasy sports and religion.
C&P: What was the last movie you watched?
JJ: "Star Wars: Rogue One"
C&P: What's your favorite sound?
JJ: Students asking questions.
If you want to nominate your teacher, students can let us know by tweeting to @ECP_Erbacher (Megan Erbacher) or @sshall4 (Shannon Hall) with the hashtag #TeacherOfTheWeek. Parents can also nominate an educator by sending an email to us at firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com or tweeting as well.

Sodom has clearly been a corrupting influence upon Lot and his family. In order to save his unknown guests, Lot offers to bring his unmarried daughters out to the threatening mob. Of course, it is possible that this was a a ploy to give his guests a chance to escape. Nevertheless, even drawing such attention to his daughters put them at grave risk. Either way, it is clear that Lot was not putting his trust in God. Of interest, it may be noticed that Lot apparently had at least two other daughters who were married (verse 14). Yet being under the authority of their scoffing husbands, they do not escape the city's destruction.
As for the utter depravity of Sodom and Gomorrah, as well as the other cities of the plain, it was fully confirmed by the visit of the two angels. When confronted with the phrase "Sodom and Gomorrah," most identify their sin as being homosexuality. But that was not their only grievous sin. In Ezekiel 16 God says that their sins included "pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; [and] neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before Me" (verses 49-50). Considering Abraham's example of humility and diligence in care of the visitors he received in Genesis 18, we can see from Ezekiel's condemnation that Sodom and Gomorrah had transgressed the basic boundaries of morality and social custom. Their entire lifestyle was one of self-exaltation and indulgence, indifference to others and social injustice.
Consider for a moment our modern societies. Never have we been wealthier, more secure in our daily needs, with so vast an array of leisure options. But, at the same time, we are plagued with poverty, homelessness, corrupt politicians, unjust laws, courts more concerned with procedure and the rights of criminals than with justice, and social systems and customs that violate God's instructions. Surprising as it may sound, even many churches' popular religious practices are nothing more than a recycling of ancient pagan customs God repeatedly condemns in the Scriptures. While God desires for mankind to repentto humbly turn to Him and begin living His way of lifeit will be necessary that He "come down" again in judgment for that to occur on a broad scale. Yet God is slow to anger and abundant in mercyand for that we should be truly thankful.

Non Toxic: The AcryliCon system is 100% non toxic and unlike other systems within the market place can certify to this. In fact the family of plastics to which the product is a member is used extensively within the medical field for hip replacements and false teeth.
Cleanabilty: Our system has the highest compression strength on the market; in simple terms this means dirt cannot infiltrate the system, which means the system is aesthetically pleasing over the lifetime of the system.
Full curing Time: The floor is fully cured in two hours; this means works can literally be carried out, two hour after installation. This is obviously a fantastic positive as downtime is kept to a minimum. Epoxy floor coverings can take up to seven days for full cure.

Glucose oxidase sensor is one of the best methods for measuring small amounts of glucose. this sensor can be modified using multi wall carbon nanotubes as complementary substance in the electrode structure with the aim of increasing efficiency.In this paper, Pt electrode, was enriched with carbon nanotubes by an intervening material of amino groups of poly (allylamine) (PAA), and was used as working electrodes (anode) along with a platinum auxiliary electrode and the reference electrode Ag / AgCl (cathode). Working electrode was surrounded by a semi-permeable membrane containing the Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with Ph = 4,6,9 enzyme. To evaluate the performance of the constructed biosensor, it was put into a dish containing 0.01, 0.05 and 0.1 M glucose concentrations which were dissolved in doubly distilled water. The produced current and its rate was measured by Potentiostat with transferring the electron from the working electrode to reference electrode which was released by the reaction of glucose in the presence of the enzyme. According to the performed experiments, with increasing concentration, the flow rate of current production is increased and pH deviance from neutral range reduces the flow. Optimal conditions was obtained in concentrations 0.1 M and pH=6, respectively.

US: Death sentence to Canadian in China 'politically motivated'
Ottawa rallying allies after Canadian citizens' arrest in China in light of top Huawei executive's arrest in Canada.
The United States State Department has called the sudden move to award the death sentence to a Canadian man by a Chinese court in a drug trafficking case "politically motivated".
In a statement on Wednesday, deputy spokesperson Robert Palladino said US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland had spoken the previous day and "expressed their concerns about the arbitrary detentions and politically motivated sentencing of Canadian nationals".
The Chinese court has sentenced Robert Schellenberg to death in a sudden retrial in the drug smuggling case on Monday, after giving him a 15-year jail term in 2016.
Freeland and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have been talking to world leaders about Schellenberg's case as well as those of two other Canadians arrested in China in apparent retaliation against the December arrest of Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei.
Canada had arrested the daughter of Huawei's founder at the request of the US, which wants her extradited to face charges related to the company's business dealings in Iran. Palladino said Meng's case was also discussed.
"They noted their continued commitment to Canada's conduct of a fair, unbiased, and transparent legal proceeding," the statement said.
China defiant
Canada has embarked on a campaign with allies to win the release of former diplomat Michael Kovrig and entrepreneur Michael Spavor, who were arrested on vague allegations of "engaging in activities that endanger the national security" of China 10 days after Meng's arrest.
"Led by the prime minister, our government has been energetically reaching out to our allies and explaining that the arbitrary detentions of Canadians are not just about Canada – they represent a way of behaving which is a threat to all countries," Freeland said.
She added that the arrested Canadians would be at the top of her agenda when she visits Davos for the World Economic Forum next week.
Earlier on Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said Beijing "isn't worried at all" about facing opposition from the international community, according to an English transcript of her remarks that was published on a Chinese government website.
"Actually, you can count by the fingers of your hand the few allies of Canada that chose to side with it on this issue," Hua said.
"For serious crimes posing great harm to the society like drug smuggling, I believe it is the international consensus that such crimes shall be strictly handled and punished," she added.
Asked about Hua's comments, Freeland said: "I would just point to the fact that the EU alone, which has issued a statement, is a union of 28 countries."
'Unlawful' arrests
The United Kingdom, Australia and other countries have also issued statements backing Canada.
The White House, meanwhile, called the arrests "unlawful" in a statement after Trudeau called Donald Trump last week, but the US president has not talked directly about the arrested Canadians.
Bruce Heyman, a former US ambassador to Canada, said Washington and other allies need to take a stronger public stance supporting Canada.
"A statement is a statement, but it only has strength in value if there are consequences for behaviour," Heyman told The Associated Press news agency. "A threat to Canadians is a threat to the United States. That's what's missing here. That's what you do with allies and your best friend. Canada has always been there for the United States in a time of need."
Heyman argued that a lack of leadership from the Trump administration has empowered countries like China and Canada is suffering the consequences.
"We are seeing behaviours around the world by countries who feel that they have a licence to do things because the US is behaving entirely differently," he said. "We should be there protecting our allies."

Inspiration amidst the chaos
- Category: News
- Posted On:
- Written By: Bobby Hoerner, MSW, Director of Social Services, Woldenberg Village
As we all push through our new day to day routines in this unprecedented time, it's easy to get caught up in the sadness, worry, isolation, and stress that surrounds all of our lives. Even a quick scan of the news can leave one with the impression that the darkness is overtaking the light. How come the news is so negative all the time? This brief story is a reminder that each day all throughout our community, our city, our country, and our world, there are thousands of random acts of kindness from one individual to another. Unselfish acts that portray the best of the human spirit and a reminder that even though we may feel alone, we are actually still all connected and need inspiration to navigate these waters.
Hilda McCoy had been a resident at Waldenberg Village since 2010. She suffered with dementia for much of that time and her daughter, June, was actively involved with her mother's care day to day. She visited her mother nearly every day, attended regular care plan meetings, socialized with other residents in addition to her mother when she would be on campus, and always offered her appreciation and support to the facility. As the COVID-19 pandemic took hold, restrictions were imposed on visitors, and June's once regular routine to see her mother was halted. As the weeks proceeded, June tested positive for the virus as well as her husband and son. They were now in their own private struggle at home in addition to not being able to see her mother. Phone calls were made from the facility to regularly update June on Mrs. McCoy's status and, in June's words, even though she was very weak, she hung on to that information for dear life.
Weeks passed, June and her family's health started to slowly improve. Unfortunately, Mrs. McCoy's was deteriorating. She had become lethargic and was having trouble breathing. Although there are strict restrictions in place for visitors to Waldenberg Village due to the pandemic, exceptions are made when a resident is actively dying. However, given June's recent struggle with the virus, she knew she couldn't come be with her mom in her final hours. After ten years of coming regularly to see her mother, she was now unable to hold her hand and tell her goodbye when it mattered the most.
Enter nurse, Nancy Gaudet.
Nancy was taking care of Mrs. McCoy and had been calling June to keep her apprised of her mother's status. The news became grimmer and June began to cry on the phone knowing that she would never see her mother alive again. Nancy, in a remarkable act of kindness, put on her PPE, took her personal phone into Mrs. McCoy's room, and while June watched her mom on the room camera, was shocked at how labored her mother's breathing had become. Nancy held the phone up to Mrs. McCoy's ear, June spoke and noticed her mother's breathing ease. There's nothing like a child's voice to a mother's ear. June said she cried and told her mother how much she loved her. She thanked her for a wonderful life and told her it was ok to go. Being able to say those things to someone you love at the end of their life is a gift and brings solace in the days, week, and months after they're gone. It's so crucial to feel it all and set it free.
Nancy asked June if there was anything else she needed for her mother. In the absence of a priest, June asked Nancy to pray with her mother. Nancy said the "Hail Mary", wrapped a rosary in Mrs. McCoy's hands, combed her hair, wiped her face, and gave her all the dignity and love one deserves in their final moments. It was the comfort that June wanted to give in person but couldn't so it occurred through another vessel. June describes Nancy as "an angel on earth."
June had held a ten-year vigil for her mother. She encountered countless nurses, aides, dietary staff, social workers, administrators, and housekeepers at Waldenberg in the last decade. She always felt the caring spirit when she would visit her mom and she said it all culminated in those precious, final moments with her mother facilitated by Nancy. Going above and beyond a job description that transcends to a vocation and a transformative moment is the light we ALL need in the darkness.
These are the stories that need to be told. These are the stories that take place everyday that you won't see on the news with any regularity. But, they are happening. Yesterday, today and tomorrow. They are the stuff of dreams even though they are reality. These are the stories that will bind us and remind us that even though we are apart ... we are actually still together.

From Roubaix to Lille, Eesah has an history from which she does not hide, at least from which she no longer hides … Placed in a nursing home as a teenager, her catharsis is then realized through books and writing.
Sports studies, sociology studies, specialized educator… Eesah navigates between professional and human experiences, always progressing towards what suits her best. Until rap in 2018, when she passed the milestone. From all this path emerges the EP Cadavre Exquis, a first project in which Eesah declines the pity of his experience, preferring to leave it with a reflection on how to overcome it.
In his references? Disiz La Peste, Muse and System of Down. So many artists whose link does not seem obvious to you and yet … She who denotes the eclectic and avant-garde audacity of Disiz, the melody of Muse that she links to Chopin.
In his ears, the Congolese rumba hummed by artists like Papa Wemba and Fally Ipupa or even the neo soul of Asa, the blufunk of Keziah Jones who easily rub shoulders with the offbeat cut of Dj Arafat. In this inspired patchwork, we also find the great ladies Nina Simone and Lauryn Hill.
Alvin is a singular person who associated with the verb to create, is conjugated under several aliases.
We call him Al20 when it comes to delivering flow within his rap group Feini X Crew. He responds to the name Mister Alv when he lets his vocals flow to the melodies of his Sweet Soul project.
Singer-rapper-beatmaker, his peculiarity lies in his versatility, he is just as comfortable singing Marvin Gaye style, as in rap. Groove lover, one of his latest creations is a beatbox / voice duo by the name of PLDG (Pour l'amour du Groove) whose latest EP was released in January 2020, Breaking Barriers vol, 1.
Originally from the North of France and active since 2009, with his various formations, he has made the stage his strong point by going on stages like those of the Main Square festival, the Dour festival, Paris HipHop, the original in Lyon , Zenith in Lille, Big BLDG Bash in Seattle, Minton's playhouse in Harlem, New Moring in Paris and many more…
NUMéROBé is a composer / beatmaker, originally from the North of France. Influenced by abstract hip-hop (Flying Lotus, Teebs…), post dubstep (Mount Kimbie, Shlohmo…), and UK bass (Kahn, Commodo), he produces a sensitive and hypnotic electronica. Oscillating between ambient and dancefloor, a dialogue takes place between the mechanics of synthesis and the sensitivity of acoustics.
On stage, he delivers a rhythmic live, between deep bass and ethereal atmospheres, accompanied by a VJing from BBBlaster (Clap Clap !, Major Lazer, Actress …) he has already shared the bill with international artists like Mount Kimbie, Clark, Romare, Darkstar, Ez3kiel, Sylvan Esso or even Superpoze.

Going through the feedback and the reviews from the multiple clients of a given roofing contractor it becomes quite easy to determine the reputation of the roofing contractor. The responses from the client of a given roofing contractor can also be an essential basis for assessing the quality of the service offered by a given roofing contractor. Working with a qualified local contractor is the second aspect that one should consider when searching for the most suitable roofing contractor. Where one wants to cut down the resources that would have to get used when searching for a long distance contractor one should consider working with a local contractor.

Publication Date: November 09, 2009

Industry: Pharmaceutical industry
In December 2007, the Economics & International Affairs director of the competitiveness cluster, Lyonbiopole, was responsible for the international development of the cluster. Lyonbiopole was one of seven biotechnology clusters in France. Although Lyonbiopole performed very well at the national level, its visibility as an international cluster in the biotechnology field was uncertain. Yet, for its member firms to thrive in the globalized world of biotechnology clusters, establishing international connections for the cluster was crucial. That is why the management team of Lyonbiopole developed an internationalization program through alliances with foreign clusters (i.e. interclusteral alliances). By improving its international visibility and reputation through alliances with world-class biotechnology clusters, Lyonbiopole hoped to create new technological partnerships, increase investment, and create other kinds of opportunities for member firms. After having successfully established alliance partnerships in Europe, Lyonbiopole was preparing for the second stage in its internationalization process. The case highlights the questions - in the context of industrial clusters - whether or not a smaller organization can approach an industry leader to create a mutually beneficial alliance, and how it might accomplish this.

Annual Appeal Campaign 2021 – 2022
Your support is essential to the continuation of Foxfire's mission! Give to our annual appeal campaign this year and help us expand our reach in the community.
The Story
Over fifty years ago, a group of high school students decided to take charge of their learning and worked together to produce a magazine, highlighting their own creative work and the culture around them. This quickly grew into a decades-long project, rooted in the community and classroom. Your donation continues this tradition today, helping to empower local high school students in Rabun County to share their voices beyond the classroom and preserving Appalachian culture for all.
The Legacy
As we approach the giving season, help us raise $60,000 for our Annual Campaign. These funds are crucial to the success and reach of Foxfire. Help us continue our mission of preserving the rich and diverse history of Appalachia and engaging both students and the community in a shared celebration of our stories.
Being able to work here all these years is one of the best experiences that I've ever had in my life. Foxfire is so crucial to the preservation of Appalachian traditions and stories.

A Sci-Fi inspired drink
2 oz of Spiced Rum
1 oz Habanero Infused Orange Juice
½ oz fresh lime juice
Ginger Ale
If you like spicy you should try making this Habanero Infused Orange Juice. I quarter a Habanero pepper and put it in a glass container with 2 cups of orange juice. I let this sit in the refrigerator for a few days. I then strain the mixture discarding the remains of the Habanero. Caution: Use gloves when handling the Habanero and washer your hands soon after if you touch the Habanero pepper!
If you are not into the spicy cocktail, you can substitute regular orange juice for the Infused Orange Juice.
To make the drink add the Spiced Rum, Habanero Infused Orange Juice and the lime juice to a shaker filed with Ice. Shake and strain into a copper mug filled with Ice. Top off the mug with ginger ale.
Fruit Sriracha
Only for those who like it sweet and spicy!
3 parts UV Sriracha Vodka
1 part peach schnapps
3 part orange juice
Ingredients are shaken and served over ice in a highball glass.

These puppet show scripts have parts for from two to four puppets, and some require the voice of an additional off-stage narrator. Depending on their ability, some children may be able to perform more than one role in the same show. The roles could be performed by a variety of character puppets, although the parts now are assigned to the animal puppets we also sell packaged with these scripts.
These are all child-friendly puppet shows. There is no violence and no one gets eaten.
The four puppet show scripts in this package are:
"First Things First (Don't Procrastinate)", which demonstrates the disadvantages of procrastination. Although the other animals keep encouraging their friend the monkey to join them in building sleds, the monkey chooses to put it off, and then isn't ready when the snow falls.
"Fair Offers (Cooperation)" about the value of cooperation. The animals realize that a fair in a neighboring town takes place too soon for them to travel to, unless they all pitch in using their individual capabilities. The set of scripts includes a two and four-puppet version of this script.
"Out of the Box (Imagination)" about using your imagination. Four different animals come across an empty box, and each recognizes a different use for it.
"Trading Places (Look Before you Leap)" demonstrates the reason to look before you leap. The horse hears about the attractive features of the mouse's house and insists they trade, sight unseen, only to later discover how small it is.
Also included with these puppet show scripts is a set of puppet show stage directions that The Creativity Institute put together to help parents and children stage more professional and enjoyable puppet shows, such as tips on moving mouths (almost everybody does it backwards), simulating walking, etc.
You can download each script individually or as one Zip file.

Gwynn Torres, founder of The Creativity Institute, is a career advertising writer and creative director, Grammy nominated songwriter/musician and parent of two creative children. In creating these scripts, she has focused her talents on delighting children while including educational value.

In his second go-around as U.S. Ryder Cup captain, Davis Love III has plenty of influential voices into which he can tap for advice. Being a North Carolina Tar Heel, he was influenced for years by the late Dean Smith, and is friends with current UNC coach Roy Williams. He's longtime pals with another former Tar Heel hoopster named Michael Jordan, who was, um, pretty good in his day, too.
But who knew that Love would get to swap leadership thoughts and ideas with The Hoodie himself, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who has guided his teams to four Super Bowl titles and captured 13 AFC East championships.
Much was made about top eight U.S. Ryder Cup qualifiers meeting up at Gillette Stadium, the Patriots' home, on Wednesday of Deutsche Bank Championship week. They had a wedge contest (Phil Mickelson won, competing right-handed), threw footballs around the field, and even got to try on one of owner Robert Kraft's giant championship rings.
But one night earlier, Love and one of his vice-captains, Tom Lehman, attended a charity gala run by the Kraft family (Bob Kraft is the family patriarch, and Patriots team owner). Who did Love sit next to at the dinner? Tom Brady. The next night Love returned with his players to Gillette, and he said the Patriots could not have been more welcoming.
"They just opened the door to us, really," Love said on Monday afternoon, shortly after adding Rickie Fowler, J.B. Holmes and Matt Kuchar to his team. "Gave us team gear, team jerseys … everyone's jersey had a '1' on it except (Jim) Furyk's had a '58.' They let us use Coach Belichick's team room. They made videos for us to watch. Got to talk to the players, just me and the players, in Coach Belichick's team room, which they said never happened before.
"So the Ryder Cup players got an experience, really, that nobody has ever gotten before. To spend time with Bob Kraft, have Mike Eruzione (1980 U.S. Olympic hockey captain, and hero of the U.S. victory over Russia) talk about the '80 hockey team, it was just an incredible night."
Love said he and Lehman got to speak to Belichick on a couple of occasions, trying to cull some ideas they might use in trying to lead their team against Europe. What was his message?
"I know (sports psychologist Dr.) Bob Rotella has been helping me with so many ideas from the coaches that he works with," Love said, "but when Belichick says, 'You've just got to get everyone to do their job. Don't listen to the noise,' it really resonates with everything I've been hearing.
"Our players are really, really good. If we just do our job and just don't listen to all the outside comments and noise and grind it out, then we can get a win."
The U.S. has lost six of the last seven Ryder Cups. Love called the meeting at Patriots headquarters "a great inspiration." He admires how New England's ownership group treats the team as family.
Love did leave New England with one regret, though.
"I wanted to see him (Belichick) in a hoodie," he said, "and I didn't get to see it."

Monday: Eat with your hands
When deciding what to cook for dinner on Monday, the last thing you want is a project—so throw a ton of shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes into boiling water, add Old Bay, and have at it. There's not a kid in the world that can complain about eating dinner right off of the table. Oh, and cook about twice as much shrimp as you think you'll need, and double up on sausage at the store too.
Tuesday: a dippy dinner
You've already got cooked shrimp from last night (you're welcome, past self), so the only thing on the agenda tonight is blanching some green beans and mixing up a super-simple yogurt sauce. Two eat-with-your-hands dinners in a row makes for a very happy family.
Wednesday: one-skillet sausage
Remember all that extra sausage you bought for Monday's dinner? Throw it all in a pan with apples (trust us), white wine, and a couple handfuls of watercress and dinner is done. Grab a nice loaf of crusty bread to soak up the saucy goodness at the bottom of the pan, and go to town. If you have any leftover seared sausages, pack them up for lunch with some sharp Dijon mustard for dipping.
Thursday: a hearty meal, southwestern-style
This gluten-free tamale-inspired casserole looks and tastes impressive AF, but it comes together ridiculously quickly. All it takes is a meaty, cheesy filling, a cornmeal-based crust, and 15 minutes in the oven. While you're at it, cook up a double-batch of the ground beef and chorizo filling for tomorrow night.
Friday: It's-finally-the-weekend-calzones
Grab last night's leftover (ahem, #nextover) ground meat, sauté some kale (or any other greens you have on hand—maybe watercress from Wednesday?), and wrap it up in store-bought pizza dough. Into the oven they go, and then into your mouth. Crack open a bottle of wine to celebrate another week of dinners conquered.

By Ker'Shyra Myrick
Big moments in games can happen at any time for a young athlete and, regardless if the results are good or bad, they are often remembered forever.
The more young athletes experience these types of moments, the more prepared they are for them, and the better they will be at handling them during their athletic journey.
"Big game moments for the athlete and the coach are different," says Dr. Treva Anderson, a Certified Mental Performance Consultant based in South Carolina who works with athletes of all ages and skill levels, as well as coaches. "For the athlete, these moments are usually central to their personal participation during the game and their actions may not necessarily involve the rest of the team. Coaches see big game moments from a larger perspective. They see the team needing to work together to get the end result they are looking for. This is an important distinction to be made because some athletes, especially youth athletes, may not necessarily see the importance of how their individual actions relate to the entire team."
Big moments certainly vary for athletes. For a young child new to sports their moment may be the first time they are dribbling down the basketball court on a breakaway and all eyes are suddenly fixated on them. And for a more experienced young quarterback, his moment may be that last-minute drive in the league championship game in which the team is relying heavily on him to perform at a high level amid lots of pressure.
"Anytime a player is in possession could be considered their big game moment," Anderson says. "If a football player has the ball, or a hockey player is moving the puck down the ice, that could be perceived as their big game moment. These moments can happen frequently for some players, but it can also depend on what sport the athlete is playing and their overall experience since team sports depends on positions. This is one area I don't think coaches quite understand because if a youth athlete has little experience playing that means that their skill level is not very high. So, say you have a young athlete that is not very experienced, he/she will feel a lot of pressure when a big game moment occurs that can become almost scary for a child and the focus shifts from executing the skill to the pressure involved. Whereas, if you have a young athlete with a lot of experience and a high skill level, they are more likely to appreciate being in possession of the ball and their moment will be more enjoyable."
Game-changing moments are challenging to replicate in practice, but the more times you can put players in situations that are game-like in nature, the more comfortable they will be when they do occur.
And a little creativity goes a long way. For example, in basketball practices maybe halt a drill unexpectedly and send a player to the free throw line for one shot. If the player makes it the team wins the game and the coach does five push-ups or runs the length of the floor; a miss and the entire team does a lap.
"First, it is important for coaches to make sure, whether an athlete has a lot or a little experience, that they are prepared for these moments," Anderson says. "Coaches should be specific and let the athlete know what they are expecting from them."
During these simulated pressure moments in practices, coaches should also engage players to learn what they are feeling to help them manage nerves or anxiety.
"Ideally, a coach will get to know his or her players," Anderson says. "Many athletes want specific instructions, such as 'hold the ball like this.' This type of instruction should be easy for athletes to understand at whatever level they are playing at and can help them focus on skill execution."
Of course, athletes aren't going to be successful in every big moment, but the more lessons they take away from each of those experiences the better they'll be able to execute the next time out.
And giving feedback, particularly if the athlete wasn't successful in the moment, requires compassion blended with a confidence-building tone.
"Coaches want to deliver their feedback in a calm manner and try to stay in control of their emotions," Anderson says. "If an inexperienced athlete was in control during the last play, and it did not go quite as planned, coaches want to make sure they do not get overly emotional and understand that what just happened may have been a big moment for that athlete. Giving calm feedback and reinforcing what he or she did right can make all the difference, and give the young athlete a huge confidence boost."Dr. Treva Anderson Pressure Big Moments Coaching Teaching

Pregnant Dog Found buried beneath sidewalk
A pregnant dog who had been buried and left to die beneath the sidewalk, after repair workers paved over a broken sidewalk in Voronezh, Russia, was able to make it out breathing, on September 21st, thanks to a man who refused to ignore her cries for help, reported blogs.discovery.com.
Vadim Rustam, a resident in a building said he kept hearing a dog's barking. He realized it was underground, he asked the city to dig a hole to remove the dog. When the city denied his request, he did it himself, wrote fox2now.com.
All it took was a little removing of bricks and excavation, then there were happy tears, as Belka was removed from the hole. Donations paid for medical bills and Belka survived, sadly the pups did not, reported fox2now.com.
Reportedly, Belka was underground for two days without food and water. Now, Vadim Rustam currently owns Belka and takes care of her, reported reviewjournal.com
