Insure carefully, #DreamFearlessly @ http://www.amfam.com #Landlord #RentalProperty #BusinessAccelerator from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxDWCzOS7qQ I remember that February in 1976 when President Gerald Ford expanded the original Black History Week to Black History Month. President Ford said the country needed to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” Februarys suddenly were filled with church, school and community observance programs. There were decorated bulletin boards, celebratory dinners and the other traditions we’ve established as we celebrate Black History Month each year. February is a time for us to come together. A time to celebrate a history rich with the accomplishments of so many African-Americans. A time to marvel at what our ancestors would think if they were here today. I think of my parents and all they experienced growing up in Missouri in the ‘40s and ‘50s. I struggle to process what it must have been like for them to attend segregated schools. Schools where they were forced to learn from ragged textbooks handed down from white schools. Or, what it was like for them to use “colored only” public restrooms and water fountains. Or, to sit in the balcony at the local movie theater or at the counter at the drug store restaurant. Despite being treated as second-class citizens and the constant reminders of what they couldn’t do, I still heard them talk of how the trials made them stronger. And more determined to enjoy the freedoms and privileges that would eventually become their reality. I smile when I hear them share stories of the forever friendships formed in that segregated school, in those theaters and at those counters. During this month of observance, I wonder. What if …
I’m sure the world would be a different place. Yes, we’ve come a long way. But we still have a way to go. I’m thankful February provides an opportunity for ALL communities to celebrate and acknowledge the history of the Black community. And, I’m so proud to celebrate Black History Month here at American Family. American Family Insurance is celebrating Black History Month with employees in a number of ways including a screening and discussion of the film Milwaukee 53206 and an event called Power and Grace: Highlighting Black Women in our Society. ### About American Family Insurance from https://newsroom.amfam.com/why-black-history-month-is-important-to-me/ A new television spot, "This Win," debuted today from American Family, part of a multi-media marketing campaign announced February 4. The integrated campaign includes TV, radio, online video, social media, and digital/mobile display components. Like "This Sacrifice," the first spot introduced in early February, the new ad also follows themes introduced in the previous “This Dream” campaign, by demonstrating all kinds of dreams are worth achieving and American Family Insurance gives individuals the freedom to go out and pursue their own. "This Win" confirms that American Family is not just protecting the dreams of those who achieved them, but also the dreams of those whose shoulders they stand on. The television spot acknowledges all of the mini-achievements consumers experience in achieving dreams, like purchasing a new home. Both "This Win" and "This Sacrifice" are running interchangeably over the next few months and each share the theme that it’s not just about protecting the sheet metal or shingles of a new home. It’s about protecting a dream - this home, this car, this life that you’re working so hard to create.

Insure carefully, #DreamFearlessly @ http://www.amfam.com #HomeownersInsurance #PersonalProperty from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX01wHxy87Y As the wind blew across my face as I left the library during the winter of 2007, a sense of pride kept me warm even as all other heat was whisked away. The wind chill: -40° F. Or C. It actually doesn’t matter, the two measurements come together at that point. I knew my time living in Canada could give me some of the coldest weather I would ever see, and that day in Quebec City, I thought, could very well be the coldest day of my life – it certainly was to that point. I felt like I deserved some sort of recognition for making it through the experience, maybe even a sticker I could put on the back of my car like marathon runners proudly display. After spending the next several years in the western U.S., including Arizona, my life took a 142° turn, or 167° if you count wind chill. For my wife, a lifelong Phoenix resident, the irony is the change was about 180° degrees, and nothing could be closer to the truth. When we moved to Wisconsin in 2015, a week after getting married, we knew new challenges were ahead, including winter. Though we’ve felt the cold each winter we’ve lived in Wisconsin, none of it compared to the artic plunge of February 2019, which gave both of us – and our young son – the new coldest temperatures of our lives: -27° F, with a wind chill of -50°. What is a polar vortex?While the polar vortex has always been around, it did not become ingrained in our vocabulary until recently. To picture the polar vortex, imagine a large circulation around the arctic that extends high up into the stratosphere (anywhere from 10 to 30 miles into the sky). When it is strong and fast moving (like a fast moving top spinning on a table), it keeps the cold air locked up where it should be – in the arctic. However, sometimes the air way above the arctic suddenly and drastically warms and messes up the polar vortex’s flow (like the top as it slows down and begins to wobble), causing it to split, and sending pieces spinning in different parts of the northern globe. This eventually affects the jet stream down below, which drives much of the weather in the U.S. The jet stream starts to meander and bring down extremely cold air from the north. Most people would probably agree the bitter cold brought on by these events is not pleasant. Are we going to see more of these episodes? This has been the cause of debate recently, and I’m not sure anyone can say for certain. However, the number of times we’ve seen a weak vortex which leads to cold outbreaks, has actually increased in the last twenty years from about three to seven days a year. While we might see more cold outbreaks, overall we are seeing fewer extremely cold days. As an example, see the graphic showing number of days in Madison, Wisconsin (firmly entrenched in the usual path of arctic intrusions) when the minimum temperature dropped below -20° F per decade. It was a lot more often in the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s.
Sources: Midwestern Regional Climate Center, Carbonbrief.org As a meteorologist and senior weather modeler at American Family, we made sure those who respond to our customers’ claims were well aware of the recent dangerous conditions. Frozen pipes, house fires, and traffic accidents are all common dangers in cold weather and we wanted our people to be ready to serve customers affected by the frigid temperatures. So, as part of our preparation, we sent out company alerts detailing how cold it was going to get and when the cold would set in. Putting the customer first defines how we work, what we think about, and how we plan. I’m just grateful I can do it in well-heated buildings. Although it may invoke pride, I’ve experienced enough of those record cold days first-hand, thank you.
