Stand to be recognized, and let's give them a warm Mirmar. Round of applause. And just a quick note. Every year we receive over 40 applications, and it's more competitive every year. So it came down to a tie, and these are the top two. So it's very well deserved and hard fought for. So congratulations again on your future accomplishments.
