Can you say best teacher ever???

Venus Williams visited the charity FSM to meet kids whom are interested in tennis!

And if they were on the fence before meeting Venus, we can almost guarantee they can't wait to be tennis superstars now!

It is so sweet of Venus to be so charitable, and to help the children.

After all - they're our future!!!

We just previously mentioned that chicken wings stock was expected to hit a record high because of the Super Bowl.

Now it seems like chicken wings may be in such high demand that they won't be easy to find on game day!

Due to the high cost of corn and feed, chicken wing production has decreased.

So what happens when you add decreased production with an increased demand??

Be super organized! You might run a tight ship normally, but the holiday season calls for military organization! Keep a notebook next to your bed and plan the next day. Having a schedule will keep you relaxed, even amongst the extra house guests and last minute duties.

At one time or another we’ve all received holiday gifts given to us with good intentions yet didn’t really work for our taste. Unwanted gifts clutter up the house or office while we figure out what to do with the gift. Guilt and fear paralyze us into keeping gifts we don’t want or need.

Re-gifting is becoming a perfectly acceptable social practice. In a recent survey, when asked if it is okay to receive a re-gifted item, 83% of survey respondents said yes. So if you are now considering re-gifting this holiday season, use these 6 tips as guidelines when re-gifting:

1. Gift packaging and contents must be in excellent condition;

2. Remove old tape remnants and re-wrap the gift in new wrapping paper;

3. Only give the gift to someone who will appreciate and use it;

4. Make sure all the pieces (puzzles, toys) are intact and unbroken;

5. Never re-gift unsold garage sale merchandise; fruit cakes, gift cards with partially used balances
and nothing monogrammed.

6. Keep track of who gave you the gift; don’t mistake giving it back to them!

Re-gifting is a great way to declutter your space and get organized, to be environmentally conscious by recycling and reusing and helps to keep your budget down. So go ahead and celebrate this season and re-gift, re-gift, re-gift! Santa approves.

Please, PLEASE, let this be true!

Apparently there's a new vaccine that could give lifelong protection against the flu virus! The key is to make it out of messenger RNA (mRNA) – the genetic material that controls the production of proteins. Not only may it work for life, and it may be possible to manufacture it quickly enough to stop a pandemic!

Holy shizz!

This is awesome news because every time we become to immune to one of the flu viruses, it continues to evolve, so one year's strain is completely different from the next. Plus, most flu vaccines are grown in chicken eggs or cell culture, a process that takes at least six months — it's not exactly quick.

Then the World Health Organization has to predict which strains are going to be worse ahead of time!

The mRNA vaccine can be mass-produced in a few weeks and can be turned into a freeze-dried powder that does not need refrigeration, unlike most vaccines. Blowing your minds already?

Here's what happens according to the source:
