Rebuilding Together, a leading national nonprofit organization dedicated to repairing the homes of people in need, partnered with Lowe’s, the Official Home Improvement Sponsor of the NFL, for the 29th annual Kickoff to Rebuild event during Super Bowl weekend. As part of the event, former NFL player, Kirk Morrison, teamed up with Rebuilding Together President and CEO, Caroline Blakely, and Lowe’s Home Improvement District Manager, John Sayre, on a satellite media tour to discuss the event and the important work being done nationwide. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/trwi5JJf4JY In neighborhoods nationwide, more than 2.6 million homeowners live in deteriorating, physically inadequate homes that threaten their health and safety, including those near Allegiant Stadium, the site of Super Bowl LVIII. Having a safe and healthy home is foundational to so many aspects of our lives, from a sense of community and safety to physical and mental well-being, to economic security and independence. Through its national network of affiliates, Rebuilding Together works proactively and collaboratively with community leaders, long-term residents, funders, and volunteers to foster dialogue and create safe, healthy communities across the country. Kickoff to Rebuild represents Rebuilding Together’s belief that every neighbor should have the opportunity to live in a safe and healthy home and community, and to remain in the places they call home. To date, through Kickoff to Rebuild, Rebuilding Together has made improvements to more than 176 homes, engaged 5,200 volunteers, and invested $6 million to communities in need. Lowe’s has partnered with Rebuilding Together since 2007, and has worked together to revitalize communities and improve the lives of thousands of our neighbors over the years. In 2023, Lowes announced a two-year, $6 million donation to Rebuilding Together to address urgent housing challenges by providing safe homes for veterans, seniors, people with disabilities, families with children, and neighbors impacted by disaster. This year’s event was led by the nonprofit’s local affiliate, Rebuilding Together Southern Nevada, which has helped provide more than 7,800 Las Vegas families with safer community spaces and healthier homes over the past 30 years. As part of this project, volunteers, local contractors and members of the community came together to provide essential repairs including roof and door replacements, extensive bathroom upgrades, exterior painting, landscaping improvements, and new water heaters all at no cost to the homeowners. Additionally, the Boys & Girls Club of Southern Nevada’s John C. Kish Club received a fresh coat of paint to its large gymnasium to provide a safe and enjoyable place for youth to play, learn, build relationships and grow.

Bumble’s 2024 Dating Trends

YourUpdateTV

Bumble, the women-first dating and social networking app, recently released its annual dating trends for 2024. The popular dating app garnered insights from more than 25,000 singles on Bumble around the world to identify trends that will define dating and relationships in the year to come. Recently, Bumble’s Sex and Relationships Expert, Shan Boodram, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the trends and share tips on dating in 2024. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/tA1Q2D6PV6A Heading into 2024, there is an air of optimism and clarity for the ‘year of self’ as Bumble’s research shows that more than half (57%) of women surveyed are going into the new year with a clear view of what they want from their romantic lives. According to Bumble, this year will bring about: 1. Betterment Burnout: In recent years, we’ve seen a rise in ‘self-optimization’ which has led the majority of singles (55%) to feel pressure to constantly look for ways to better themselves, leaving 1 in 4 (24%) feeling unworthy of a partner. Looking ahead to 2024, singles are rebelling against the constant self-improvement with more than 2 in 3 women surveyed (68%) taking active steps to be happier with who they are here and now. 2. Timeline Decline: People, especially women, continue to feel a constant pressure to follow traditional relationship timelines. But in 2024, women are choosing to actively build their own path, with 1 in 3 (31%) women saying they are no longer focused on adhering to traditional timelines and milestones such as dating>marriage>kids. 3. Gen(erational)-Blend Romance: This year, people are doubling down on casting a wider net, age included. For 2 in 3 (63%) people, age is not a defining factor when dating with more than half (59%) of women saying they are now more open to dating someone younger than them. Below are some tips for those looking to kickstart their dating journey in 2024: ● Create a “to feel” list rather than a “to be/to have” list. Focusing on things you want a partner “to be” or “to have” like a specific height or a specific career can lead to a match that isn’t necessarily the kind, lasting connection you’re looking for. Instead, think about what you would put on your “To feel” list: ‘I want to feel safe, I want to feel respected, I want to feel protected.’ Creating this list can help you find and understand what is most important to you beyond physical attributes. ● Date smarter, not harder. In a recent Bumble survey, 1 in 4 U.S. daters shared that they feel short on time and want to make dating as efficient as possible. If you’re finding it hard to prioritize dating with your busy schedule - you’re not alone! Bumble’s data also shows that Monday between 7:00-8:00 pm is the most popular day and time on Bumble in the US. Capitalize on Bumble’s peak Monday time by using features that help you find more relevant potential partners, faster, like Bumble’s Advanced Filters feature, which allows you to filter for various values and lifestyle choices. ● Choose quality over quantity. Dating doesn’t have to be a numbers game. In fact, more than half (52%) of women recently surveyed about dating in 2024 said they are focusing on quality of dates over quantity. For more information, download the Bumble app via the App Store or Google Play. About Shan Boodram Shan Boodram is a certified sex educator, dating coach and intimacy expert. Boodram is host of the top podcast, "Lovers and Friends," the best-selling author of “The Game of Desire,” resident expert on Netflix's “Too Hot to Handle,” and host of The Marriage Pact on the Roku Channel. She is an ambassador for AIDS Healthcare Foundation and WomensHealth.gov, and a member of the American Sexual Health Association. She holds a Master’s degree in Psychology from Arizona State University, and currently resides in Los Angeles, California. About Bumble Bumble, the women-first dating and social networking app, was founded by Whitney Wolfe Herd in 2014. Bumble connects people across dating (Bumble Date), friendship (Bumble For Friends) and professional networking (Bumble Bizz). Bumble is built on the importance of equitable relationships and how crucial they are to a healthy, happy life. The app is built with a focus on kindness, respect, and equality – and the community plays an important part in that. Bumble holds its users accountable for their actions and strives to provide them with an experience free from hate, aggression, or bullying. The app is free to download and is widely available in the Apple App Store, Google Play Store and the web. Contact Details YourUpdateTV +1 212-736-2727 yourupdatetv@gmail.com

Elsewhere in the state is a significant strategic statewide expansion plan led by seasoned area developer Frank Muller. The plan includes enhancing the brand's presence in all major Texas cities. Rounding out the 2023 openings included new locations in South Reno, Nevada, and Lewis Center, Ohio. These remarkable achievements underscore the robust demand within the men's grooming sector, propelling Hammer & Nails into a rapid expansion phase.
