<p>Hate it or like it, but the winter is coming, and it is going to be tougher this year. Storm Team4 Chief Meteorologist Doug Kammerer has launched the Winter Weather Outlook, and it is not looking good. All the signs are pointing out towards the fact that this will be colder-than-normal winter. In the last few years, the state has experienced some cold blasts of the polar vortex, but this year it will extend further. According to Kammerer, several factors were considered while creating the report. He said that currently, the Sun is at a solar minimum, which translates to low solar activity that leads to colder temperatures. The real dip in the temperature will come in February and March.</p><p><br></p><p>  </p><p><br></p>

<p>The restoration work of affirmative action in Washington could face a setback in the coming weekends. Referendum 88 was still lagging after the latest rounds of ballots were counted on Friday. The counting will resume at the weekends. Referendum 88, which is a measure to restore affirmative action in public programs, will head into the weekends with an uncertain future. </p><p>When the ballots were counted on Friday, 50.3% of voters were against the measure, with the rest supporting it. The votes were held on Tuesday. More votes are expected to arrive by a vote by mail, and they will be tallied at the weekends.

Iowa officials are warning residents about a disease in dogs that can be passed to humans.

Dr. Jeff Kaisand, the state veterinarian, has confirmed several cases of "canine Brucellosis" coming from a commercial small-dog breeding facility in Marion County, Iowa. The sickness is known to only affect dogs and humans, according to the Iowa Department of Public Health.

"We are in the process of notifying the individuals who have custody of the exposed dogs," a Friday news release from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship states. "Both the animals and the facilities are quarantined while the dogs undergo clinical testing."

The zoonotic bacterial disease, "zoonotic" meaning the sickness can be transmitted from one animal to people or other types of animals, is spread through reproductive fluids, the release states.

Signs of the disease in a dog include infertility, spontaneous abortions and stillbirths, according to the department of public health. Symptoms for humans include fever, sweats, headache, joint pain and weakness.

Those who have recently acquired a small dog from Marion County should get their pet tested, Kaisand said. Pet owners and those who come in contact with animals are being reminded to wash their hands regularly.

"The threat to most pet owners is considered very low," the release reads. "Dog breeders, veterinary staff and anyone who comes in contact with blood, tissues and fluids during the birthing process may be at higher risk and should consult their primary care physician."

The disease is most common in kennels and breeding facilities, the Iowa Department of Public Health said.

A De Soto, Iowa-based animal adoption service posted on Facebook on Friday about the disease. AHeinz57 Pet Rescue and Transport reported that a Knoxville, Iowa, breeder had dogs that tested positive for the disease. A call to the rescue's owner, Amy Heinz, has not yet been returned.

"Last Saturday, we purchased 32 dogs at an auction ... ," the post states. "All of the dogs we purchased are being tested and currently quarantined at our facility with biosecurity measures in place to prevent any possible exposure to other dogs or people. We have not received any results yet."

The shelter is closing for the next month, the post says.

"This is just one more reason to ADOPT and not SHOP! Please pray for our sweet babies that were finally getting the chance to have a happy life," the post reads.

<p>According to the reports, this year, the sale of warehouses has touched $1.7 billion while the rest of the real estate market is not that active. There has been a decline in brick and mortar retail, and commercial real estate developers are left with large scale abandoned properties. The main question is, who will fill these properties?</p><p>The answer lies in the recent acquisitions of Amazon in Northeastern Ohio. In the recent past, warehouses have emerged as the city’s hottest property spaces. The e-commerce distribution requires massive warehouses from where the operations can be commenced. The sale figures of 9 months in warehouses are almost double the sale figures of warehouses in 2016, which is a positive note for the city. In the coming months, more such acquisitions are expected to happen in NYC. </p><p><br></p>

<p>For those who are looking to eat and drink out and save some money on drinks, here is a good deal. Everyone knows that alcohol costs a lot in restaurants across Houston, and it is not easy to enjoy some drinks with friends if you are on a budget. </p><p>Now several restaurants in Houston allow you to bring your bottle of the poison of your choice. However, some spots charge a small fee to let you drink from your stock on their premises. If you still compare the prices, it will be much cheaper. The concept of allowing to bring your drink saves thousands of dollars in licenses and insurance, which the establishment has to pay for every customer they offer alcohol. </p><p><br></p>
