Nate Fisher is graduating Cal Poly with a degree in business administration and a concentration in finance. The Thousand Oaks, Calif. native chose Cal Poly because of all the opportunities Learn by Doing presented him. One of those opportunities came to life with the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Institute Research Challenge, a global competition that invites university teams to make buy/sell/hold recommendations for real companies. The experience requires months of intensive research in financial analysis and hands-on mentoring from faculty, alumni and industry experts from the subject company.
Fisher competed on Cal Poly's CFA Challenge team in 2015, working with subject company Disney. With guidance from Finance area Chair Professor Cyrus Ramezani and industry mentor Scott Kirk, Cal Poly's team won the Los Angeles regional and advanced to the Americas competition in Atlanta where the group finished as semi-finalists. At each event, the team presented and defended their analysis to panels of CFA chart holders and Disney executives.
Disney's team took notice of Fisher's leadership throughout the competition and invited him to interview for a position within the company. After several successful meetings, Fisher was offered a job. Following graduation, he will begin his career as a corporate financial planning analyst for the Walt Disney Company, dealing with company operations, capital planning, quarterly and annual earnings and cash flow forecasting and five-year plans. Fisher's team will also help construct presentations for corporate senior management and the board of directors regarding financial performance.
"I couldn't be more thrilled for the opportunity to work for a company as amazing as Disney," said Fisher. "I think this opportunity speaks volumes for the quality of the Cal Poly Finance area. Without the opportunity and guidance provided by Professor Ramezani, I would likely not be in the position that I am in."
Aside from the competition, Fisher also participated in the Student Managed Portfolio in the Orfalea College of Business, which empowers students to invest $500,000 of Cal Poly funds. Fisher encourages all finance students to enroll in this senior project to gain Learn by Doing experience and valuable insight into the financial markets.

Food is a central part of every culture, and I think that is because of the impact a meal can have on our relationships. Historically speaking, dinner time has been crucial to the formation of strong families, and I think it's all about nourishment.
We all need each other to be happy. We are social creatures and that's just the way it is. It makes me sad when people try to make themselves an island, or they close themselves off out of fear or anger. No matter how tough someone tries to be, our emotions are a big part of who we are and nourishing that is just as important as the food we eat that keeps us alive.
September 25th is National Cooking Day. I've partnered with PotsandPans.com to create a simple recipe, meant to feed a family or group of friends, and encourage people to sit down to dinner, in their homes, with loved ones on that day.
When they asked me to be part of it, I was really excited because this is something that is very dear to me. I didn't grow up in a rich family, but the greatest privilege I had, and probably the biggest reason for who I am today, is that my parents gathered me and all 7 of my siblings (I am the youngest of 8 kids) at the dinner table every night and showed us they loved us. They talked with us, laughed with us, fed us, and celebrated with us. They gave us the confidence we needed to know we could go and do whatever we wanted to do.
I'm not naive. I know that not everyone has the same childhood I had. Not everyone has parents like mine, who were examples of love and stability. And not everyone grows up feeling safe, valued, and important. But what if, for an hour or two, you could make someone else feel safe? What if you could make someone else feel valued? What if you could make someone else feel important?
September 25th is National Cooking Day. But you don't have to wait until then. Cook for your family, and sit down to dinner with them. If that's not where you're at in life, cook for friends, and sit down to dinner with them. It doesn't have to be fancy to make them feel important. You simply have to make it with them in mind, and they'll get that. They'll know it, and they'll feel loved and love you for it. Cheers, to all our Internet friends, and I hope you know how much I would love to cook a meal for each one of you.
The recipe pictured is Chicken Thighs Braised with Cabbage, Herbs, & Sun-dried Tomatoes. You can find the recipe on PotsandPans.com, as well as the Anolon Vesta Cast-Iron Braiser used to cook it. BUT! PotsandPans.com is letting me give one of those away to one of our readers, so take a moment to enter below and be sure to check out the rest of what PotsandPans.com has available.

I heard Sidge talk in his sleep when we were in Florida and the next morning, I told him so. His response was, "Really? I didn't hear that."
Sidge gave me some pretend food to eat. A few minutes later he came up to me and said, "Are you full Mom?"
Me: "Yes."
Sidge: "Okay. Then I'll take your food."
Me: "Okay."
Sidge: "Are you really full or just pretend full?"
Me: "I'm really full."
Sidge: "How do you get really full eating pretend food?"
In the airport, the lady who takes your tickets to board the plane asked Isaac is he was Superman. He said he was not. She said that he was wearing a Superman shirt. "Well, yes," Isaac said. "But it's actually just a shirt."
While not really a Friday funny, one of the airline attendants saw that we had two kids on each aisle. "Are these all yours?" he asked me. When I said yes, he replied, "Wow! You have a whole gaggle of them."

Money Management Basics, Part 6
Credit Cards and Student Loans Are Not Free Money
Millions of college students blow it big time when it comes to taking on credit card debt and student loans. I don't know how it happens. Actually, I do know at least part of the cycle with credit cards. You walk on campus and a credit card marketer is there, saying something like: "Hey, want a free T—shirt?" All the student hears, pretty much, is the word free.
Sure, you know that you've got to pay back the bank for all those charges you make. But for most students, that's a distant concern. They're enchanted by the idea that they can (in their own minds) get something free today, simply by slapping down a piece of plastic at a department store or retailer of their choice. But credit cards are anything but free—and neither, of course, are student loans.
In fact, using the word credit for people in college is a particularly egregious misnomer. The word credit often has a positive connotation for college students. You've all heard the expression, "I give him credit for doing this or that." And what about college students who love to get "extra credit" from professors? As you can see, in most contexts, the word credit gets used positively among students, and that's the time at which many people are most unsophisticated, vulnerable, and likely to get tripped up by using credit the wrong way. But it might help you to think about a credit card as what it really is: an IOU card.
None of this is to suggest that credit is inherently a bad thing or that you should not have credit at all. For many people, having credit allows them to function in society in a seamless way, and to use credit as a convenient method of payment. Credit cards enable us to do everything from shop online to rent automobiles. So the idea isn't to say, "I'm never going to use credit cards again," especially if you have had a financial problem. The challenge is to determine: "How can I manage my credit cards well and what should I be doing to make sure that I am a smart and savvy consumer in order to leverage my credit standing in a way that gives me the most benefits?"
Not only are credit cards and student loans not free money, they are borrowed funds that can actually be quite costly if not properly managed or if allowed to linger on year after year. With credit cards, you're really getting an up—front loan to pay for various purchases, so in this manner, credit card debt and student loans aren't that different. They're both fundamentally loans.
And for the privilege of receiving that loan, you'll pay dearly in most cases. The typical credit card has an interest rate of about 15 percent. That means for every $100 you charge, you'll pay an extra $15 on top if you take a year to pay the bill. If you miss a credit card payment, you could find yourself in the unfortunate predicament of having a "default" interest rate, which now runs as high as 35 percent on some cards. While most federal student loans offer single—digit interest rates at less than 9 percent, if you stretch out your student loan payments (as most college grads do), you can wind up paying two to three times your original student loan amount because of interest charges alone!
With that credit card, you'll also face a slew of charges, such as annual fees, cash—advance fees, finance charges on the outstanding part of your bill, late payments, and over—the—limit penalties.
Don't ever accept a credit card offer or student loan without a very good idea about how you will repay it and how long that repayment will take. Too often students simply think, "Oh well, I'll worry about that bill later." That's not smart financial planning, and it's the easy way to financial ruin. One reason for that is you'll probably take on more student loans and more credit card debt than you anticipate. Remember the first lesson, "Everything always costs more than you think it will"? Well, the same thing is true with your educational costs too.
Why would higher education cost more than you estimate? A big reason is that many of you mistakenly think you'll finish school in just four years. Those days are long gone. Students take an average of 6.2 years to complete their degrees in public universities, and 5.3 years to graduate from a private school, according to the Conference Board. For those who aren't conscientious about the debts they take on, this means additional student loans and more credit card debt racked up along the way.

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 9 — Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu insists that his recent remarks criticising ally DAP that were caught on video and have since spread on social media were taken out of context.
The Perak mentri besar admitted to his controversial remarks, which he said was made in conversation while he was on the campaign trail for fellow Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate Karmaine Sardini in Johor last Thursday, Bernama reported today.
However, Ahmad Faizal told reporters the viralled clip was only a snippet of a 20-minute long conversation.
"That video only showed six minutes of 20 of my conversation with locals there in which it was taken out of context.
"We tried to show what the Pakatan Harapan candidate for the Tanjung Piai by-election Karmaine Sardini said previously, but my comment about the component party and Cabinet allies were raised instead," he was quoted saying in Ipoh after the state Maulidur Rasul celebration.
Ahmad Faizal claimed it was his way of drawing voter support for PH and Karmaine.
A 2.47-minute clip featuring the Chenderiang assemblyman and Tambun MP was posted on the Facebook page of Umno politician Azizi Safar depicted Ahmad Faizal lamenting his solo fight against DAP allies to protect Malay interests.
Bersatu president and Home Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has since played down Ahmad Faizal's remarks as an isolated incident.
But Perak DAP and PKR allies are demanding an apology, calling Ahmad Faizal's remarks embarrassing and unbecoming of a PH leader.

Look up for Winston's Groom and Robert Zemeckis the writer of the book on which Forrest Gump was based and the director of the movie. Answer the question:
Where did they get the ideas to write the book and the movie?
You will write ideas for a person you will create and about whom you will write a biography. You can use the sample biography that can be found in English Portales Blog and other sources.
In a shared Google doc, you have to jot down the place(s) and time(s) where your imaginary person will be. You also have to list the real people in history you will encounter and how your character influenced or simply met. Forrest takes an active role in some of the historical events that occur during his life; in others he merely observes or is even passed by as the event unfolds. Some events change Forrest's life profoundly; others have little or no effect. Some people change Forrest's life; others are changed by him. You should make your imaginary person like Forrest.
The name of the shared doc has to be Biography (your name).

"Be careful! There are many hazards in the factory, especially when the lava starts flowing!"
Magma Flow Factory is the fifth level in Lavasteam in Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter.
If Rocko is talked to, he can change the flow of the magma in the level. If the magma flow is raised, the level name changes to Volcanic Core. Despite having the same name, it isn't the boss level. Both versions of this level contain a different BakiBeard coin.
Story Edit
When arriving at the second section of Lavasteam, Rocko tells the gang that Key is in the colorless Magma Flow Factory. The player then restores color to the ground,and the level. During the level, the player finds Key and "rescues" him, despite Key saying he doesn't really need rescuing.
- This is the only level in Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter with two different BakiBeard coins.

The New York State Department of Health has announced that Doctors Across New York (DANY) will begin accepting applications under Cycle VI starting March 7.
DANY is a state funded initiative that offers funding to physicians to practice in underserved areas not limited to HPSAS (Health Professional Shortage Areas). Specifically, via the Physician Practice Support (PPS) and Physician Loan Repayment (PLR) programs, physicians can apply for a $120,000 award in exchange for a three-year commitment to practice in New York State. According to the Department of Health, "PLR and PPS awards will provide up to $40,000 per year for three years to or on behalf of a physician who agrees to practice in an area of need for the three-year DANY service obligation period." $9 million in funds have been allocated for this award, which will cover 75 three-year awards. Awards are approved on a first come first serve basis, so submit your paperwork to apply or your application ASAP!
Applicants must register in the Grants Gateway in advance of submitting the RFA. This first step of the process requires a notarized account application sent by mail, which can take up to ten days for approval. The Grants Gateway will request a vendor ID. An individual vendor ID can be requested by filling out a W-9 form available on the Grants Gateway website, or if you will be employed by an institution, vendor ID information may be obtained from the finance office of your program.
For those interested in learning more, an informational webinar was held recently and a recording of the webinar was posted to the DANY website after the session. Additionally, a frequently asked questions document is available here.

The opening of new buildings always brought excitement to Georgia towns. That was certainly the case in late 1951 when Oak Park High debuted its new showplace.
With visitors apparently declaring it "one of the nicest and most serviceable structures of its kind," the gymnatorium, as it was referred to, opened November 13 with games against Wheeler County High.
Wheeler won the girls game, 35-23, but Oak Park's white-and-blue-clad boys destroyed the Alamo school, 72-39, in the finale.
Oak Park was nice enough that it hosted at least one game from out-of-county high schools. Vidalia and Lyons played there in January 1952 as neither school had its own gymnasium.
Within a decade, the air at Oak Park was decidedly different.
Few would have thought of closing the high school there in 1951, but low-attendance rural high schools who survived the consolidation efforts of the 1950s were soon out anyway under pressure from the state. Oak Park was transitioned into an elementary school in 1963. Twenty years later, the elementary was eliminated as well.

The Inside Scoop on Perkins & Morley
Today we've got a great behind the scenes look into a fabulous greeting & giftware brand, Perkins & Morley.
Like a lot of our industry interviews recently this is another business that I have been meaning to show off for months, so apologies for my tardiness to all of you reading and of course to Jill & Jan (aka Jill Perkins & Jan Morley), the talented duo behind this design-led brand.
For this closer look of Perkins and Morley we get a guided tour of the business and product range from Jill, so without further ado, let's begin…
The Business
What inspired you to start Perkins & Morley?
We were living in the U.K, but working in the U.S. which involved lots of travelling, so we were looking for some way of making a living here. We both love sending greeting cards so six years ago we started designing and publishing a few ranges to test the market and it took off from there.
What can you tell us about your business?
We try to give really fantastic service. We're small enough that we can attend to everything ourselves so if there are problems we understand and can immediately put them right. Sometimes customers like dealing with the artists and the owners of the business.
We are also able to do bespoke cards and gifts which some of our customers find very useful.
What's your role & your favourite elements of the business?
I'm a partner in the business with Jan and we both do the designing which we love. We also both really enjoy exhibiting at trade shows. Jan runs P & M and I spend time visiting customers and finding new ones. I like the fact that every day is different and that we can try new ideas very easily.
What can you tell us about the rest of the team?
We're very small in terms of people – other than me & Jan – everything else is outsourced. We use an excellent VA (virtual assistant) and have a great team of accountants.
We work with a great printing company who we have used since we started and they are always coming up with new ideas for products.
We work very closely with the company who makes our coasters, clocks & key rings – we are always coming up with new ideas together.
We are also enjoying working with a textile screen printing company who are also very keen to work together to come up with new ideas. That is the beauty of working with small companies in the UK – we all help each other.
We believe that independents offer an amazing combination of unique design and high quality. How do you ensure this happens with Perkins & Morley cards and gifts?
Well as we are the designers we make sure we offer unique cards and gifts. We've been designing together for years and are used to providing goods that will sell. Everything is made in Britain which makes it easier to keep an eye on quality. We use some amazing British manufacturers.
You recently exhibited at some of the industry's Spring shows. Can you tell us about those? What was the reaction to your designs?
We always get a good reaction at the shows. Existing customers know that much of what we exhibit is new each season, and new customers often say that we have unusual designs. We work very hard to keep them fresh.
The Perkins & Morley Collection
Which of the Perkins & Morley collection are the current bestsellers? Why do you think they're so popular?
Our Animal Ink and Collective Noun ranges continue to be amongst our best sellers and our Wild Wood range is fast catching up and our new Pulp range is doing very well now we have added a birthday to it.
Our Wild Wood range is quite different – it has a mix of watercolour animal illustrations with a background pattern – it suits home decor colours, the cushions are doing very well for that reason.
The Pulp range is just fun with a bit of wordplay in the form of puns to add to the mix and they make great birthday cards. We have recently added clocks to this range too which has just been featured in a prominent women's magazine.
What are your personal favourite products in your current collection? Why do they stand out for you?
We are loving our new Sew N Sew range especially in the cushions – the designs are taken from Jill's fabric collages and on the cushions, they look as if they have been appliquéd by hand. We have also put these designs on wooden brooches which are a new direction for us and they are starting to do very well.
Many of your cards and gifts feature the animal world. What inspires you about this area of design? Do you plan to continue in this area or can we expect to see other themes in the future?
We both love animals. One of the first conversations we had, when we met in college, was about the various animals we have owned and the ridiculous names we gave them! The woodland theme is still going strong and so are our general animal themes. We've been talking about what we'll do next. Watch this space!
One of your most popular collections is the 'Collective Noun' range. What can you tell us about what inspired these designs and the reaction you've had to the collection?
The collective noun idea came out of the blue and we knew we'd hit on a winner. People love to debate on their authenticity. We don't ever make them up and some of them have been known since Chaucer's time. Coupled with Jan's brilliant artwork they go from strength to strength.
Perkins & Morley cards and gifts use high-quality materials from carefully selected sources. What can you tell us about the craftsmanship involved in creating the range?
The coasters clocks and key rings are made by hand in a small family workshop in Worcester, and they care as much about quality as we do. Our mugs come from deepest Cornwall and another family business who check each mug themselves to ensure that the quality is top notch.
Our tea towels are made in North Yorkshire – they hand screen print and sew the edges giving a very high-quality finish.
Our cards are printed in the UK using a recycled card with a recycled paper envelope – it is very important to us that we are as eco-friendly as possible.
Buying from Perkins & Morley
Why should people shop with you? What makes you different?
Our design and our attention to detail. We see our customers as all important and try to make them feel that way.
We LOVE independents and think more people should be supporting them. Why do you think people should shop with independent businesses like yours?
If people want unusual gifts and cards they need to support independents like us. We respond to customer's needs and make sure we don't flood an area with our goods. This keeps our products fresh and interesting.
What can card & gift senders expect from Perkins & Morley in the coming months?
Oooh! Well, we have got all sorts of new designs that we are working on right now and some very exciting new product ideas which we are very excited about……can't say too much yet as it is top secret but the ideas made me go all tingly anyway – which I always take as a good sign!!!!
You've read the interview, now it's time to see a little more. Visit the Perkins & Morley website.

Energy-efficient wood shredding
During this year's W18 in Birmingham, Vecoplan will be presenting a VAZ waste shredder from its new robust series at stand A 506. This trade fair for the woodworking industry will take place from 30th September through to 3rd October and is an important biennial event for specialist visitors from throughout the world.
With the new compact VAZ series, Vecoplan has developed a durable, robust single-shaft shredder. Joiners, cabinet makers and carpenters, as well as wood processors, will benefit in particular from this reliable shredding component. Wood-processing companies can use this sturdy shredding solution to process chipboard, hardwood and solid wood waste, bark, cardboard or softwood, turning them into wood chips or material suitable for making briquettes.
With this single-shaft shredder, companies have a universal and frequently used machine to hand which, in most applications, can be managed without additional feeding systems. With the VAZ series, the user can feed in the collected materials directly and without metering. The hydraulically powered slide feeds this quickly and easily into the shredding mechanism. Since the rotor turns particularly slowly, it makes little noise or dust during vertical feeding.
What makes the VAZ so special is the patented ESC® drive: with motor output of 11 to 37 kW, the asynchronous motor with its powerful frequency converter is energy-efficient, inexpensive and economical in operation. The belt drive features sophisticated slippage control plus extraneous material detection. The cutting unit consists of a profiled rotor with easy-to-change reversible counter-knives.
With this new VAZ series, Vecoplan has succeeded in developing an economical solution and customers will particularly appreciate the machine's energy efficiency coupled with its high throughput.

Internship Common Questions
When do summer internships start?
Our start dates are somewhat flexible and can depend on your schedule and the hiring team's needs. Most students start in May or June and their internship ends after 12 weeks.
Do you offer internships at any time other than summer?
Most of our internships are offered during the summer. However, we occasionally seek and place exceptional students for internships at other times of the year. Candidates interested in fall or spring internships should submit their resumé to email@example.com and note the dates they are available in their cover letter.
Is this a paid internship?
Yes, internships at Esri are paid positions. Our pay scale is comparable to that of other software development companies.
Who is eligible to apply?
Students enrolled at any university are welcome to apply, but typical Esri interns are at least in their junior year, since we look for the most qualified students. When you apply, make sure to highlight any academic or professional experience you have.
Master's and PhD students are also eligible to apply. Students who graduated in December do not qualify for the internship program and are encouraged to apply to regular full-time opportunities.
Do I have to be a US citizen?
No, but if you are not a citizen and are selected for an internship, you will need to obtain a valid work visa for the summer through your university. Esri does not pay for students' work visas for internships, although we can help with any documentation your university might need from us.
I go to school in another country. Can I still apply?
Yes, but if you are selected for an internship, you will need to obtain a valid work visa for the summer through your university.
What is the deadline for submitting my application?
We accept applications September 1 through December 31. Students selected for phone interviews will be notified by email on a rolling basis October through January. After the December 31 application deadline, we will begin providing regular updates to all applicants on a rolling basis. Please log back into your account to view application status updates.
What should be in my cover letter?
A cover letter can help differentiate you from the other applicants vying for an Esri internship. Our program is extremely competitive, and setting yourself apart is important. It is not necessary to address your cover letter to a specific individual; Dear Hiring Manager or Dear Human Resources is sufficient. It should outline the following:
- Why you would like to spend the summer with Esri
- The department at Esri in which you'd like to work
- What distinguishes you from other candidates
I want to work in an Esri regional office. What opportunities are available in the location I want?
Most of our internships are located at our headquarters in Redlands, California. Opportunities at our regional offices vary from year to year and are posted on our careers website.
Where could I fit in at Esri? Can I apply to multiple teams?
t is only necessary to apply to one of the 6 areas in which we offer internships. We suggest you start by looking at internship opportunities to determine which one most closely matches your interests and career goals. When reviewing your application, we think carefully about where we feel you would be the best fit; however, it helps us if you specify your interests in your cover letter.
I'm interested in internships with Esri in another country. How can I apply?
Esri maintains a network of distributors who sell our products and services outside the US. Please contact them directly regarding any potential internship opportunities.
I've applied online. What do I do next?
If after reviewing your application we feel your qualifications make you a good candidate, we will send your application to relevant hiring managers. If they are interested in learning more about you, they will contact you to set up a phone interview. This process can take several weeks. Phone interviews typically take place in December and January. You can follow the status of your application by logging back into your account.
How can I check the status of my application?
Log in to the account you created when you applied online.
Why haven't I heard from a hiring manager at Esri? I think I'm a great candidate.
The timing of your application does factor into being considered for an internship. Positions are filled on a rolling basis and closed once a student accepts an internship offer, so it is better to apply early. Many opportunities are filled before we receive applications from other students who want to work in the same department.
How do I find housing after being selected for an internship with Esri?
Esri provides interns access to internhousing.com, where they can easily search for affordable temporary housing. Lodging and relocation expenses are the responsibility of the intern.

Riley Orton Foundation was founded by David Omondi and Erick Otieno. Having been raised in the Obunga Slums, Kenya, David and Erick watched their mothers and other women and widows struggle to raise their children and support them through education. They would do everything from prostitution, brewing alcohol, selling marijuana, to washing clothes for people, just to make lives better for their families. Bad as it was, the Obunga Slum was a refuge for many women running away from abusive husbands in the rural areas and other towns in western Kenya to start a new life in Kisumu. Unfortunately, opportunities here were limited, leaving many women to struggle to raise their families single-handedly. Most of the children and youth dropped out of school due to lack of school fees, others resorted to selling scrap metal to fend for their families and others got into drugs. Many of these women got infected with HIV/AIDS. This broke their hearts and left them determined to come back after school to lead sustainable change in their community.
Unlike many other young people in the slum, David and Erick were lucky to get a sponsorship to pursue college education. After graduating from college with BSc. Biochemistry and P1 Certificate in Education from the University of Nairobi and Bungoma Teacher's College respectively, they returned to their community of Obunga slum as development experts to catalyze change from the inside as a way of giving back to their community.
Their vision is to use Akili Preparatory School as a model for the provision of sustainable high quality education for girls which can be rolled-out to other schools to help improve student performance and achieve gender equality and empower women in Kenya. Erick serves the organisation as the Chief Executive Officer while David is the Director of Operations.
In 2016, we started Maendeleo Hub, a community resource center which aims to connect marginalised women and youth who are leaders of grassroots projects and self-help groups with the resources they need to create sustainable change in their communities in Kisumu, Kenya.
In Kisumu, Kenya, women and youth are the unsung heroes, running small high impact projects. They understand the power of strength in unity and are usually organised in self-help groups which in most cases are the social and economic glue of African communities. Through small income generating projects like car wash, table banking, and motor-bicycle transport, they allow savings and loans even to those who do not have bank accounts allowing economic development of the family and entire village. However, because they have low levels of education, do not have computer skills, lack internet access, do not speak English, cannot use social media to share their stories of impact, do not know how to write and submit proposals among other geographical and technological barriers they are always marginalised from accessing funding to support their work.

Olympic chief Bach consults with IOC members over virus fallout
Lausanne , Switzerland (AFP) — Olympic chief Thomas Bach yesterday held a series of talks with International Olympic Committee (IOC) members on the potential consequences of the novel coronavirus pandemic on the Tokyo Games which have been pushed back a year to 2021, sources said.
Bach was scheduled to address the 100 IOC members in three different sessions, which were grouped according to language and local time zone.
Bach's aim is to canvas the members for their views on "how to handle the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic", a source told AFP.
The IOC president wants to hear "thoughts, ideas and experiences of all members across the globe", it added.
While Bach addressed all Olympic actors on March 24 when announcing the postponement of the Tokyo Games, it is the first time since the COVID-19 outbreak that he has specifically consulted IOC members.
Bach was backed up by Olympic Games Executive Director Christophe Dubi, IOC Sports Director Kit McConnell, IOC Director General Christophe De Kepper, and Chief Operating Officer Lana Haddad.
The IOC's medical and scientific director, Richard Budgett, also took to the floor to discuss "the issue of a vaccine", according to a second source.
Bach warned last week that 2021 was the "last option" for holding the delayed Tokyo Games, stressing that postponement cannot go on forever.
He said he backed Japan's stance that the Games will have to be cancelled if the coronavirus pandemic isn't under control by next year.
The German wouldn't say, however, whether a vaccine was a prerequisite for going ahead with the Olympics, but was lukewarm on the idea of holding them without fans.
In March, the Tokyo 2020 Olympics were postponed to July 23, 2021 due to the highly contagious nature of the coronavirus, which has killed hundreds of thousands around the world and halted international sport and travel. It was the first peacetime postponement of the Olympics.
The IOC has already set aside US$800 million to help organisers and sports federations meet the extra costs of a postponed Olympics.
According to the latest budget, the Games were due to cost US$12.6 billion, shared between the organising committee, the Government of Japan, and Tokyo city.

The very first thing everyone notices about you is your face. That is why, it is important for you to make the most of it. However, it is expected that your skin will lose its youthful, firm, full appearance. It is known as the natural result of the typical aging process in which the skin becomes thinner, damaged, or eradicates its normal elasticity. Fat tissue which helps in filling out your face will be lost. Because of this, your face might look narrow and think, while your skin turn loose and begins to wrinkle. This is where the role of liquid facelift, which is also known as Y lift, enters the scene.
Understanding in Depth about Liquid Facelift –
Liquid facelifts are nonsurgical processes for the treatment of wrinkles and collagen loss. The treatment also helps with loss of elasticity to certain facial areas. The procedures of liquid facelift are the ideal option if you don't like to take on with the surgical cosmetic procedure.
Liquid facelift procedures require the application of combining procedures of dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle relaxers, which are injected into various areas of the face. This is to help in the restoration of the natural curve of facial contours and alleviate the appearance of creases, folds or wrinkles. This procedure restores the natural symmetry and balance of your face – as you did when you were younger. A liquid facelift procedure will normally take between thirty minutes and one hour to accomplish. Immediately after the procedure has been completed, the patient's face will normally be swollen for several days. Complete results may be seen between 5 and 7 days.
When considering a liquid facelift procedure, it is important to consider some important things. One of these is the fact that it should be executed by trained and licensed medical personnel. At FACEologie clinics, we have medically trained cosmetic physicians. Make sure to always check if the product that will be injected into you is approved for cosmetic application. Furthermore, you must also ensure that the person who will perform the procedure has been expertly trained. This will make sure that the whole process will be a success. Consider a skincare regime and hydrator to compliment your procedure and give you that glow. Always remember the radiance of your skin is as important as reducing wrinkles.
Undergoing a liquid facelift procedure does not require a very long period for recovery. In addition to this, the whole process can be done quickly. All it requires is a onetime appointment with a surgeon and you'll be ready to return home once the session has been executed. In order to guarantee that a patient does not experience pain in the procedure, a common anesthesia is normally applied on the specified facial area. With liquid facelift, you will get a natural looking face that you used to have when you are younger.
Irrespective of how effective and safe a liquid facelift procedure is, still, there will be a number of complications and risks that you may face. The process is not different with some other cosmetic non-surgical procedures. Slight tenderness, swelling , possible bleeding and bruising.
At FACEologie we will look after you with our highly trained Cosmetic Physicians.

Take Control, Even On-The-Go
For stay at home or working moms, back to school means back to a familiar routine; back to the hustle and bustle of mornings, preparing for each new day of learning. By now, you're well-stocked on ziploc bags, glue sticks, anti-bacterial wipes, and conveniently packaged lunch time snacks!
Our son, Elijah, is eight and, like many in his peer group, is a picky eater. If you can relate to this, you know that the perfectly put together, well-balanced, infused with 'mommy love' lunch you make for your little darling will most likely be traded away faster than you can say "More sugar please." After all, the eats are always better in some other kid's bag.
I try to surround Elijah's main dish with snacks that are natural, that way we'll both be happy. He loves green and red grapes, clementines, and real cheddar cheese. Anything that comes in a package we try to get from the health food store. We look for Certified Organic seals and check to make sure there is no high fructose corn syrup in any of our choices. You do the best you can. Elijah wanted those well-known sticky cereal/marshmallow squares but I just… couldn't… go there. I love the fact that Promax makes Fit 'n Crisp because they are such a yummy and healthy alternative to the sticky stuff. Also, Fit 'n Crisp doesn't get traded away when I put one in his lunchbox (insert Happy Mommy dance here).
Since Billy and I travel all over the world with our son promoting Dance With Me, we take Elijah's insulated lunchbox everywhere. We do the same thing for ourselves so he doesn't feel he's being treated like a baby or deprived of something. Kids will always try to get more junk into their diet, but with a pre-packed snack bag you're taking control as the parent and basically saying "Hey, if it's in here you can have it whenever you want. Anything else is off limits."
Let your kids express their individuality by choosing their own containers. Japanese Bento boxes continue to be very popular with American children. Most adults who have trouble keeping their weight down say that one of the main reasons is the convenience of candy, chips, soda, etc. By planning the night before and putting together healthy foods that keep you energized all day, you're setting a great example for your children. Two life lessons at the same time; organization, and taking control over what you put in your body. Winner winner, portion-controlled dinner!
Since your local grocery store has BPA free, recyclable containers for anything you want to travel with, there are no excuses. A busy schedule doesn't have to contribute to bad nutritional habits. Let's face it. We're moms. We're always going to be busy. Because Life Is Go!
Promax® Nutrition (promaxnutrition.com) a pioneer in fitness nutrition, announces the launch
of Promax® Fit 'n Crisp™, a new line of high protein, gluten-free snacks inspired by rice crispy
treats that will keep you fueled between meals, while juggling; work, kids, your 6am spin class,
and late evening recreational soccer matches.
Promax® Nutrition (promaxnutrition.com) introduces Promax Crunch, a new line of gluten-free, high protein bars with a great nutty taste and major crunch. This multi-purpose bar is
great for keeping you fueled through your workout. It's also a convenient on-the-go snack for
outdoor enthusiasts or a meal replacement bar for when you need something quick, delicious,
and nutritious. Promax Crunch can do it all.

As of January 1, 2010, new reporting requirements took effect involving the payment of a settlement or judgment to a Medicare beneficiary. The following is a brief summary of the new reporting requirements.
In 1980, the Medicare Secondary Pay Act ("MSP") was enacted to amend the 1965 Social Security Act. The MSP prohibited Medicare from reimbursing medical benefits where payment has been made or can reasonably be expected to be made "under a workers' compensation law, or other private insurance plans." Thus, Medicare was no longer a primary payer for a Medicare beneficiary's medical costs.
The primary aim of the MSP is to assure that primary payers, and not Medicare, assume responsibility for medical treatment for accident related injuries. The MSP is designed to prevent a responsible third party from shifting the burden of an individual's medical care to the Medicare program. Under the MSP, a "primary plan" includes "an automobile or liability insurance policy or plan (including a self-insured plan) or no fault insurance. . . . An entity that engages in a business, trade or profession shall be deemed to have a self-insured plan if it carries its own risk (whether by a failure to obtain insurance, or otherwise) in whole or in part."
Pursuant to the MSP, primary payers are obligated to reimburse Medicare for conditional payments when it is demonstrated that a primary plan "has or had a responsibility" to make payment. A primary plan's responsibility may be demonstrated by a judgment or a settlement —regardless of whether there was an admission of liability. Medicare is afforded broad enforcement rights and has a direct right against all primary payers responsible for making payment, and any entity that received a primary payment, including a beneficiary, provider, supplier, physician, attorney, state agency, or private insurer. Medicare also has a subrogation right, as well as rights of joinder and intervention. If it is necessary for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") to take legal action to recover its conditional payment, Medicare may recover twice the amount of the payment.
Section 111
Section 111 of the Medicare, Medicaid & SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 ("MMSEA") was enacted to strengthen primary payer compliance under the MSP by implementing more stringent notice and reporting requirements, including adding further reporting requirements for non-group health plans, such as including liability insurance, workers' compensation, and no-fault insurance plans. See 42 U.S.C. 1395y(b)(7) & (8). The new reporting requirements support Medicare's ability to avoid making initial payments, seek repayment of conditional payments already made, and require set-asides for the payment of a claimant's future medical expenses.
In general, Section 111 places an affirmative obligation on "applicable plans" to (i) determine if a claimant is entitled to Medicare and (ii) notify Medicare of said entitlement as specifically required. An "applicable plan" includes liability insurance (including self-insurance), no fault insurance, and workers' compensation plans.
Entities responsible for submitting the new information are referred to as "Responsible Reporting Entities" ("RRE") and include any "entity serving as an insurer or third party administrator for a group health plan . . . and, in the case of a group health plan that is self-insured and self-administered, a plan administrator or fiduciary." Where an insured is subject to a policy deductible, and the settlement or judgment does not exceed the deductible, the deductible is considered self-insurance for MSP purposes and the insured is the RRE. Similarly, if an insured settles a claim without using insurance funds (even if they are available) it is considered self-insurance. If the settlement or judgment exceeds the deductible amount, and the excess is covered by insurance, the insurer is the RRE.
Pursuant to Section 111, RREs are required to report, on a quarterly basis, claim information for claims involving a Medicare beneficiary claimant where (i) an ongoing responsibility for medical payment existed as of July 1, 2009, and (ii) the settlement, judgment, or award was entered after January 1, 2010. A failure to comply with the reporting requirements can result in a civil penalty of $1,000 per day, per claimant.
Threshold / Limitations
Settlements and judgments under a specified dollar threshold do not have to be reported under Section 111. The threshold for the period ending on December 31, 2011 is $5,000. The threshold is reduced to $2,000 for the period between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012. It is further reduced to $600 for the period between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013. These thresholds, however, only apply for purposes of Section 111; they do not limit other obligations under the MSP.
Workers' compensation claims which provide for ongoing responsibility for medical payments ("ORM") are excluded from reporting through December 31, 2011, if: (i) the claim is for medical only; (ii) lost time is no more than seven (7) calendar days; (iii) all payments have been made to the provider; and (iv) the total payments do not exceed $750.
Reporting Frequency
A lawsuit does not have to be brought in order to trigger the reporting obligations. Rather, under Section 111, a "claimant" includes (i) an individual filing a claim directly against the applicable plan, (ii) an individual filing a claim against an individual or entity insured or covered by the applicable plan, or (iii) an individual whose illness, injury, incident, or accident is or was at issue under (i) or (ii).
Section 111 established separate reporting requirements for Group Health Plans ("GHP") and liability insurance (including self-insurance), no-fault insurance, and workers' compensation ("non-GHP"). GHP data must be submitted by the RRE on an ongoing basis. Non-GHP data must be reported on an ongoing basis for no-fault insurance and workers' compensation for non-contested claims, and on a one time basis for contested cases where there is a single settlement, judgment, or award.
Information required to be Reported
Under 42 U.S.C. § 1395y(b)(8)(B), the information to be reported includes the "identity of the claimant" and "such other information as the Secretary shall specify in order to enable the Secretary to make an appropriate determination concerning coordination of benefits, including any applicable recovery claim." 42 U.S.C. § 1395y(b)(8)(B).
CMS has announced various data requirements for GHPs and non-GHPs to make an appropriate determination concerning coordination of benefits and that RREs will need to report under Section 111. For GHP, the required data include :
(i) claimant's first initial and last name, date of birth, and gender;
(ii) claimant's social security number or health identification number issued by Medicare;
(iii) insurance policy information, including type of insurance, effective date of coverage, termination date of current coverage, employee coverage election, and group and individual policy numbers;
(iv) policy holder information, including policy holders' first and last name and social security number;
(v) employer size, EIN, and business address, and whether a small employer MSP exception applies;
(vi) insurer EIN and business address; and
(vii) employee status and relationship to policy holder.
The CMS has also announced various "mandatory" and "situational" data fields that it deems necessary for a non-GHP RREs to report. The CMS has also provided for "optional" data fields which RREs are not required to, but may, disclose.
"Mandatory" information which must be disclosed includes:
(i) claimant's name, date of birth, gender, and address;
(ii) claimant's social security number or health identification number issued by Medicare;
(iii) insurance information, including type of insurance and policy and claim numbers;
(iv) policy holder information (and whether it is self-insured);
(v) claim information, including the date of the injury, venue of claim, and whether the claim involved a product liability allegation; and
(vi) claim resolution information.
Examples of "situational" information include the claimant's attorney's name and address where the claimant is represented by an attorney. Where a contested claim has been resolved, the date of the settlement and the amount are also required. If the claim involved a product liability allegation, the name and manufacturer of the product is required. Where the claimant is different than the injured party, the RRE is required to disclose the relationship of the beneficiary to the injured party and the beneficiary's name, address, and social security number. For claims involving workers' compensation, the nature and cause of the injury must also be disclosed.
"Optional" information includes the claimant's middle initial, telephone number, and email address. It also includes his or her attorney's telephone number, email address, and bar number.
Undeniably, the MMSEA places an additional burden on parties and insurers. The new reporting requirements necessitate that plaintiffs, defendants, and insurers cooperate to ensure that all relevant information is timely reported to CMS. It is essential to begin the process of obtaining the necessary information early in litigation. A proactive approach yields a better result and allows you to settle cases with confidence that Medicare's interests are being properly addressed and penalties will not accrue.
Should you have any questions on the ramifications of the Medicare, Medicaid & SCHIP Extension Act of 2007, or the process by which all relevant information is timely reported, please contact us.

The !important rule specifies that the specific rule it is appended to, will always be applied no matter where it lies within the cascade of the stylesheet(s).
For instance, say you had a master style sheet with a rule:
p { color:#FF0000; }
and you then used an @import to style a specific page, followed by a new rule to override the original p style:
@import 'style.css' ;
p { color:#0000FF; }
It would then be expected that the new rule would override the master's style.css p rule and colour p elements blue (#0000FF) for that page.
However, the !important directive can be applied within the master style.css to ensure it is always applied, no matter if a new rule is defined for it, by appending !important to it like so:
p { color:#FF0000 !important; }
Now, any future definitions of the p element styling will not have any effect and the original p styling will always be applied.

Christmas Eve morning rolls
Friday, December 23, 2011
busy season
It's Christmas Eve tomorrow already! We all know the holidays are busy, but that doesn't mean my wife has been too busy to be perfect through it all. Maybe I'll quickly backtrack through a few of our recent days using the Advent House Calendar (because I watched my favorite holiday movie, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, just a few days ago.)
Dec 9th - I'm working at the computer, and my wife brings me a dish of gingersnap pumpkin homemade ice cream. Divine. I know it's hard to imagine a creamy, gingery, pumpkiny flavor, but just believe me when I say it's divine.
Dec 11th - Apparently with no time to lose, I find my wife making a calzone while still wearing her designer boots after being out Christmas shopping for the day. This dinner definitely wasn't made in haste however, as it was delicious. We gobbled it up in full by the both of us (mostly me).
Dec 18th - She makes orange scones for a Sunday breakfast. AMAZING. Soft, moist and very flavorful. She has become very good at making them, no doubt.
Dec 20th - My wife made cookies for a few of her coworkers. In addition to being soft and tasty, they are of course wrapped cutely with little jingle bells. She has also made both almond and peppermint brittle this season, but it's completely gone and not able to participate in this blog.
Dec 23rd - This morning a homemade loaf of delectable oatmeal banana cranberry bread is served for breakfast. A light dusting of snow is finally falling, just in time for Christmas. The tree lights are shining, presents are wrapped, and life is good.

peppermint ice cream
My wife almost bought peppermint ice cream from the store a couple of days ago (it was even in the cart, but put back). She thought to herself that she could make a better-tasting version herself. When I had told her that I didn't really like peppermint ice cream, she set out to prove me wrong.
She did just that. Of course that meant I had to make a run to the store to buy cream, milk, and candy canes in order for her to do so. We each had a bowl of it tonight, and it is creamy and delicious. I think I've never liked it before because the peppermint was always too strong of a flavor, but in my wife's version the peppermint was just a subtle flavor added to the frozen milk/cream/sugar combo.
Thursday, December 1, 2011
My wife saw these cute little things being sold at Anthropologie for a pretty penny a couple of weeks ago, and so decided to try and make her own. (she didn't buy any, these are hers)
After setting up quite the messy workshop, she cranked a few out in no time. And then some more. And more yet. Then her mother came over to make even more. There are now little trees and tree-ariums (is what I'm calling them) all over our apartment.
What she did was buy those little green trees you put into little displays, bleached them (like she did last year for her Christmas Villiage), and then die them with different colors. Then a bunch of other messy stuff happens, and wallah! Tree-ariums!

I know they had terrible trouble with gearboxes but to be fair they have about 350 of them on our outfit and I haven't heard of any having gearbox failure? Most of our stuff is less then three years old and mine is the higher end of mileage at 84k @ 2.5 years.
luggsey started following What brought you to the security industry?, Vans, Integrating Paxton Access system to Alarm and and 1 other
I've got a 15 plate Traffic, had several warranty jobs so far.... Broken down several times with dodgy electrics, used to turn its headlights on when left sometimes! Was leaking oil and now has a fault on the steering wheel, clicks like crazy sometimes, garage won't fix it as it doesn't do it all the time! 85k miles now. I would never spend my own money on such a **** vehicle!
Integrating Paxton Access system to Alarm
luggsey replied to InspireSecurity's topic in Members Lounge (Public)Can you not just use the output of the Paxton to switch a timer relay to the output of the videofied detector? you may be able to use the spare Paxton contact if the door uses Pte buttons. or do you not have access to the videofied wiring?
They don't make um like they used to! i only recently retired some pliers from 25 years ago, I thought that was good going!
What brought you to the security industry?
luggsey replied to grantc's topic in Setting-up Business QueriesStarted as a sparks and moved to a company with electrical and fire/intruder/access arms. Worked as service/breakdown for both sides for many years. Continued to go between approved sparks and fire related jobs ever since. Now work for Sovereign doing all the above plus AOV. I keep all my training up to date so I can carry on deciding which area to work in but electrical or alarms install in domestic is my pet dislike!
Mine simply mis fires every few staples and drives me nuts when it does so. never tried cleaning or oiling it mind, can you maintain them?
R28 again then, maybe get a 36 if I see an offer.
Fire panel manufacturer and model?
luggsey replied to ElecTech's topic in General Security & Fire Queries
New stapler time!
luggsey posted a topic in Equipment ReviewsTime has come for a new staple gun! Im looking at the rapid R36 but I'm unsure this one will work for 6 core alarm cable 'and' larger cat5/belden/coax? Anybody use one, cheapest price I found is £40.
Low output - Morley ZX panel
luggsey replied to ElecTech's topic in General Fire Alarm QueriesMeans it's fooked, it may come back after a power down reset but will possibly fail later, replace it.
Did you get chance to price one for me?
for that, once I get the old one out I may fix it as a spare, can't be much goes wrong, I suspect a toasted relay. Paul.
I just found this old thread and wanted to know if any of you Gents can source me a ZA4 pcb trade? Online is stupid money unless I'm looking in the wrong place? cheers. Paul.
Access Timed Bgu Reset
luggsey replied to gregob's topic in Regulations & StandardsI have lost count of the number of times Joe public has pushed a GBU by mistake! We all think it's obvious that the GBU is for emergency use but experience tells us otherwise now. Agree on the hinged plastic covers stopping most mistaken use of the GBU but only alarm them if there is continuing malicious use.

Interactions of radioactive and stable cesium with hydroxy-interlayered vermiculite grains in soils of the Savannah River Site, South Carolina, USA
Sorption and fixation of Cs by the upland soils of the US Department of Energy's Savannah River Site (SRS) have been attributed to micaceous grains consisting mostly of hydroxy-interlayered vermiculite (HIV). Results of experiments to characterize SRS soil samples, to examine aspects of their radiocesium sorption, and to determine how much of their natural Cs is accessible for chemical extraction and isotope dilution are presented in support of mechanistic hypotheses to explain Cs sorption and fixation in HIV grains. The HIV is responsible for most of the soil cation exchange capacity, and concentrations of naturally occurring Cs, Rb, and K in soil samples are closely related to the concentration of HIV. Experiments with 137Cs to examine (1) sorption kinetics, (2) blocking of exchange sites with silver thiourea, and (3) susceptibility of sorbed 137Cs to chemical extraction, support the idea that added Cs is sorbed at different kinds of cation exchange sites in HIV grains. Sites highly selective for Cs but relatively few in number are inferred to exist in interlayer wedge zones within such grains. Little of the naturally occurring Cs in the soil samples was extractable by chemical agents that would remove Cs from ordinary cation-exchange sites and from within non-silicate soil components. Furthermore, most of the natural Cs was inaccessible for isotope dilution under slightly acidic conditions approximating the natural soil environment. These observations support the idea that most of the Cs in these soils has become effectively fixed in the narrower parts of interlayer wedge zones. Control of Cs uptake and fixation by highly Cs-selective interlayer wedge sites would account for the large distribution coefficients found for 137Cs at the low aqueous Cs concentrations typical of environmental systems and also for the relatively large concentrations of stable Cs in the SRS soils.

The transmission project includes construction of approximately 156 miles of 345-kV transmission lines that will connect ETTs Lobo Substation near Laredo with substations north of Edinburg and will add two new substations along the line route. The cost of the project is estimated at approximately $318 million.
In approving the CCN application, the PUCT also approved a unanimous settlement with nearly 100 landowners along the route, the PUCT staff and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The new transmission line from the Laredo to the Edinburg area will cross portions of Webb, Zapata, Jim Hogg, Brooks, Starr and Hidalgo counties. ETT plans to construct the transmission line on steel single-pole structures, an approach overwhelmingly supported by landowners.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas ERCOT determined Oct. 11, 2011, that the project is critical for the reliability of the ERCOT system and, specifically, the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Currently, there are only two 345-kV transmission lines serving the Valley. Both of the existing lines import power from the Corpus Christi area and run parallel to the Gulf Coast, which means both are vulnerable to hurricanes and other severe weather. Work to upgrade those two lines already is underway and should be complete in summer 2013.
I am very pleased that so many groups were able to reach the unanimous settlement regarding the route, said ETT President Calvin Crowder. Approval of the CCN is a significant step to ensuring continued transmission reliability in the Rio Grande Valley and Laredo areas. We now will begin right-of-way acquisition and detailed engineering for the project, with actual construction anticipated to begin in 2014. Area residents will begin enjoying the benefits of the project in 2016.
ETT is a joint venture between subsidiaries of American Electric Power and MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company. The joint venture acquires, constructs, owns and operates transmission facilities within ERCOT, primarily in and around the AEP Texas Central Company and AEP Texas North Company service territories.
AEP, headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, is one of the largest electric utilities in the United States, delivering electricity to more than 5.3 million customers in 11 states. MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company provides electric and natural gas service to more than 7 million customers worldwide.

Wow it's almost as if something as if warming our climate??
That's interesting. I lived in south east Arizona and June was not the hottest month. Not that that means a thing.
About 40 miles east of Tombstone. But Tuscon swelters for sure. This was in the late 80's early 90's. There was a huge Snowbird culture there, of people who came to winter there and then left. In winter it actually got quite cold. For about a month. It's funny how you say they have sunshine 350 days a year. That actually bothered me. I grew up on the coast of Southern California and was usesd to soft, misty spring mornings. Much like early June here. Waking up to blazing sunshine every morning was disconcerting and uncomfortable for me.
Since I grew up in Ohio and moved here where winter was always not really a "winter" to me.
I've always joked about people who complain about the cold.
But at this point in my life I'm starting to dread the long wet drizzly gray winters. I would take sunshine all year long in a heart beat.
Winters here are kind of miserable. Mild, but miserable.
