Zae Flowers has now played three games without Mark Andrews this season. Andrews missed week one and then he's missed the last two games as well. In those games, Flowers scored 17.7, 23.2, and 20 PPR points. His target shares in those games were about 48%, 27% and 25%. His route participation over his last two has been 100%. He's run a route on all of Baltimore's Drop X. And his usage is not like what we saw back in week one. If you remember during his big breakout to start the year, he had an average at the target in that game of just 2.6 yards. But over his last two, his ADOTs have been 6 and 12 yards. Zae Flowers can help you win a fantasy title this year.


This video is brought to you in part by TrueTech Tools quality tools essential support All right guys don't laugh, but we got ourselves a little cooler here. It's not working very well I'm gonna show you what we got here So yes, this is the cooler door This is they store the ice cream and stuff in here Customer notice the outdoor fan not running so I come in and I check and I've got three fans running But when you look over here, you can see some ice Ice build up in here So let's go up here on the roof See what we got Could be multiple things. I have a feeling that maybe the drain's not draining This is just a little ice cream stand so Check us out It's all at the bottom which makes me think that maybe it's a drain line issue, but look how that distributor tube is Makes me think Got some issues of the TXV which I have had issues where I didn't want to feed quite right We've had issues in the past. I don't think I did that stupid things shakes and it's just it needs your place But it's not happening Let's tear into it see if we can find out what's going on. Of course it runs on R 22 so when it rains like it's doing right now, which is Not really the greatest time to work on refrigeration stuff because get it in the Lines you can get moisture in there But unfortunately You got to keep the food cold too, so you got to balance it So we got one fan here. It's not running And that one over there. He said was not wanting to run earlier. I believe this has got some hodgepodge Thermostat with a built-in defrost control in it. So there's no way to know if that's working correctly, unfortunately The alternative is to get another one of those or get one it has a display on it I think I replaced the TXV. I replaced the TXV back in July of 21 It held 47 ounces of 22 And it acts like it's TXV issue here But if we don't have fan cycling on like we're supposed to and we're not getting a proper defrost Who knows what's going on see if we can find out that motor's running super hot or what's going on I Don't know that fan looks like it's spinning pretty pretty violent Do we even have a fan switch or what's it gonna? Yeah, there's your fan cycle switch right there Which I'm not a big fan of these snap deals So we'll have to Bypass that and see if it makes it run. You got the blue one coming into here And the other blue one comes in and ties on to here Which looks onto one of the fan legs So we'd have to jump it there to see if we can make it run and I bet you Yeah, no disconnect up here is there nope No disconnect Well Yeah We got to melt that unfortunately. I don't I'm not sure what we're gonna be able to do today when you got a control here That you can't tell if it's working Don't really see any Ways to put it into a defrost It's a Dan Foss control. Don't know if the sensors are accurate This is where I prefer just to have a thermostat and a defrost clock Which might end up being what we put on this thing Not that defrost clock right in here Put a regular thermostat in there and call it a day Alright taking a closer look here's that drain line. They put a rubber rough on this thing That's not good. So you have any issues with things dripping through So it comes across and usually have a problem with these not draining very well That pan is pretty empty. We're gonna go ahead and try to melt this out here first This part here is gonna be tricky because some of it's gonna fall down They try to chisel off what I can chisel off without hitting the coil and then Give the owner a call back and see what he wants to do if he wants to just whip swap out the electronic control I don't carry that on the truck. It's you know, we usually carry, you know The basic stuff and order what we need Otherwise you stock at all and you carry it around your truck forever, and then you never use it We can cycle that I pulled the terminal off Let's see if that fan starts on its own He said it was wanting to not That seems pretty peppy to me like it's got some good torque I bet he was Me and that one there and that could be very easily the fan control. Let's go kill the breaker to this thing I don't want to blow the warm Murr air grants 48 outside here And they're making any more humid than what we already are All right, so it was not labeled And so we had to flip from breakers until we finally found it Had to label these other ones years past So we're gonna go ahead and get that one there labeled Walking cooler as you can see none of the panel This labeled any more things fall off actually there's some stuff there, but I Didn't even notice that this a whole lot easier to find All right, so we've got our Fresh battery in there and we've got the waterproof case on and the audio is going to be different because we're not using The nice little media mod because it's raining The things we go through to get you guys these things on camera So let's grab the little Pumps for air and that way we can Know that ice What sucks now I think about it is I just used my defrost clock that's 240 volts at the last job I just did a minute ago So although I've got an electronic one I can use it's good for both voltages that kind of One more thing I'd have to mess with I'm not a real big fan of electronic ones. We sold them a freezer right there That's been doing a lot better than what they had This thing here. It really Could use your place. It should start to accumulate and we should be able to see. Yeah, see it's coming out Yep, it's coming out So drain is not the issue. So we've got a refrigerant issue Tix V issue or they're not shut in the door, which Very probable that they're not shut in the door Could be that it's never shutting off the cooler either. I mean it's hard to say You guys have asked for a tour of the truck.  That's why I don't need 50 different little veto bags Some of the motors and stuff are up there some refrigeration controls are here capacitors up there filter dryers in here My recovery stuff's inside there and then torches and things like that And then extension cords. I mean defrost clocks up on top capacitors. It's a freaking wreck But I work out of it and when you do 55 different things like I do it's It's hardly worth trying to make it too overly organized That usually goes underneath there, but once again, it's a pain in the hind end to try to get to stuff And this band don't have near the room that it looks like it would have Other on the extra hose they actually had a plug in there we can tie into Directly blow the water heater and of course the water heater is only maybe 20 gallons if you're lucky You don't have to try to go sparingly on this water. We can always use the little misting thing which doesn't make a big mess, but Once again, it takes forever for it to To effectively start melting. So we unhook the hose there Kind of went through there and shizzled out some of the ice I don't think I caused that to fall where it's at, but I have a feeling possibly The sensor here may have came out of the coil Because this was happening before and I moved it down to the bottom down here so that hopefully it would sense the The ice and not turn off the defrost as quickly as what it had been doing So our problem might be right there with that With that sensor right there that thermistor sensor.  It's either Sensor failed came out of the coil could have an issue there, but see what sucks is the guy didn't even notice the ice He noticed the fan not running which It turns freely It's a newer motor. I'm not sure What exactly is the issue? Uh, whoever did it didn't Tie any of that tape that together that can unplug itself So that's never a good thing I don't know it's it's the crappiest weather to try to get this done in because you don't have enough heat out here to Get the fan to even come on you can block it off But I mean just everything's working against you today.  I'll tell you The little sprayer here the mister actually does a pretty good job If you can't really overflow the drains because They're so small like this one. It's barely a half inch pipe coming out This modulates it slow enough that I wasn't running a crap load of water down below all over the floor which There's a bunch down there, but that happened the way before I got here so It's poor insulation and stuff like that's the factor of that But once we get this done, we still got to get in the middle of the coil That's a big thing you can't forget once you've got ice in there It just builds It's kind of like a savings account, you know, you got some ice in the bank here And the next time it gets cold it just adds a little bit more ice and a little more ice And it just builds and builds and builds So you've got to get rid of all this ice It's the same thing with grocery stores or anything else These don't get very warm. It's an off-cycle defrost. It doesn't use a heater. So there's never a complete Heat source going through this to really melt this ice. So on an off-cycle it Basically very little Warm to melt it so That's a lot of the reason why it gets so compounded It gets so bad We got it all melted out. I've got that nicely stuck into the coil just above the water line We're still slowly draining out The air sensor right there is seems to be okay. I'm gonna check resistance on them right now What we're doing is blasting out the condenser Which we're getting Some dirt out the other side So we've got some nastiness in there that needs to be cleaned out We're getting on both sides here. Make sure I get this side first. I think it's still a little bit of warm water left Get her a little cleaner which is surprising Let's try to work it in the backside forward We got some in the bucket and a lot Some of this just was already here Moved everything that would have been potentially You know that had saran wrap on it moved it out of there because it could have Got down in there into it. That's not the prettiest thing in the world here, but It works. One of the best things for this is going to be the Milwaukee You got her all swept up no more splash Swept off the grates here too Let's go check the sensors You can see that all the water It's completely drained out of here. So Water is not an issue as far as being in there a little bit dirty I'm not worrying about that right yet that needs wiped out yet. You see all the Buildup it's kind of greasy. It's stuck in place. We'll see if I can wipe that out here in a minute, but focus factor needs to be On these sensors one sensors in the coil. The other one's there. They should be fairly close resistance Speculation says probably about 14,000 to 12,000 We're gonna see if they're close that at least tell us that Whether they're junk Or you know, they're completely out of the ballpark like this There we go 9,200 ish So 9,200 ish After this control. I mean before it's at water stuff got to be getting into it Let's see what this one ends up getting if it's in a mountain 9,000 ish area Up there we had something Now there's a good chance these may not be making good contact with the board at 9,260 So the sensors are close It's not scientific, but it's kind of logical. I bet he was noticing it kicking on and kicking off See here now power is off. So doing this with uninsulated pliers probably would not be a very Good idea at all. So that probably hurt it leave a mark. I suspect There we go Kind of pain in the heiny Let's twist these back together that way we can run a wire nut right back on them We're gonna jump them over to That terminal right there where this one comes from And uh, it should work Okay, let's go ahead and get this top on it I don't want any more warm air on that coil than what I need, you know, than what we already have All right, so it's a time. Nope looks like it's running Well that closest fan there is running immediately Which if he's maybe not describing the fan to me correctly not real key on wet hands Clamping onto that live. This is not the smartest thing I've ever done Because I mean I am freaking wet. I think I might do this with insulated pliers Uh, normally this wouldn't be that big of a deal, but Today seems like it is that other fan Is running The pressure switch is doing its job. Definitely not the smartest thing and this kind of I mean, I'm on a rubber roof I'm not touching nothing my shoes are insulated, but probably not the smartest thing and get that Nutted up I think he was probably seeing the one fan from down below, but What do you do? There's no sight glass on this to see Where you at all you can do is go off of sub cooling. Let's see what our suction is Obviously it's 40 some degrees out here. It's probably not gonna run the fan motor. That's not too uncommon Uh, to notice they're shutting the fan off furthest away from the header. Here's the header coming in This seems to be the same kind of rule no matter what whether it's big boy stuff or this tinker toy stuff Usually like to keep the fan running Closest to where the header is where the liquid and hot gas comes in and goes out so Uh far as what he was saying. I don't know what the deal is with that Let's grab suction gauge. See where we're at. You know, I like giving JB a shout out I like giving any of the guys that support me any of the tool manufacturers that support me a shout out On the videos that way you guys know what kind of tools that I think is pretty good That are supporting me because you know, if I think they're a good tool, I'm gonna tell you guys about it Here's these r290 r600 gauges. They're small Made for the small systems the gauges are nice big easy to read It's got the refrigerant scales already on there 32 290 and 600 This is 404 134 an r22. This thing's been in my bag. I got a little bit of a crack right there That's a nice heavy-duty Lens around it. That's been holding up really good Like you know compared to the old yellow jackets like how they get broke.  Both american made companies always love to give a good shout out to the to the brands that help me out So he's why I always have good things to say about test. Oh all their stuff.  Yeah, I like making these videos, but I also like to uh Get something for my time. Nobody likes working for free So if that's a bad thing then uh, maybe I'm not the right guy to watch So Right here according to r22 Uh, which is our green one, I believe of our 22 We are running a 12 degree evaporator, which is a little cold colder than what I wanted. I had problems with this txv. I replaced it and it did not want to Work the way I want it to work, but that was Two years ago and it's still running.  It's strapped pretty heavily to the suction line there There is another temperature sensor there that one there looks like that might be what goes to the other fan So that could have been what was cutting out But it's not acting up on me now. So I don't know what to tell him other than hey figure place these sort of things, but This thing whole thing needs to replace Yeah fingerprints Our temperature control It's cranked all the way I'm going to recommend we replace that that's your defrost clocking your temperature control both I don't want to Convert it unless he wants to I'm going to actually throw both of them at him see which one he wants to do but obviously that'd be a little cheaper, but Fan was his main thing, but he had quite a bit of ice filled up in there. Hold on a second. Let's give him a call We're going to go ahead and put everything back together get the cap on it All right guys, it's going to wrap this one up Hope you enjoyed the video not a whole lot to it Basically had a frozen up coil and we have a thermostat that seems to be wrong We have a temperature control that does the defrost and does the Temperature control all together built into one. So we're just going to replace it The refrigerant circuit seems to be fairly closed from what I'm seeing the fan Which was the original issue for the guy calling Really doesn't seem like it's acting up at this point with this kind of weather I could see why it wouldn't have been running much and We're just going to go ahead and get those things going and get that replaced and that's about it When I come back and it's possibly not raining and everything it probably will be easier to tell what's going on Maybe we'll spend a little more time on it. We got got it up and running I mean it was running before but it's running better now. He'll be fine today's friday So we'll get that coming and come back and get it done If we record we record if not I may have to use this for this weekend because like I said It's uh april ain't a whole lot going on right now a lot of maintenance stuff a lot of things I don't really feels that you'd be interested in seeing so This might be your video this weekend. So any help guys appreciate it if you would Subscribe and give it a thumb until next time catch you on the next one later


So, we move on to Saqlán, who is in some sense at the center of the storm. Korea finds itself, both Korea and Asia find themselves at the center of many of these difficulties. And I suppose it falls to you to try to give us some sense of how things look from Seoul, from Asia more generally, as these troubling trends in the world economy take hold. Well, thank you. Given the time constraint, if you allow me, I'd like to make a very general comments regarding the uncertain future of world economy order and the global governance-related issues, rather than talking about specific issue areas, perhaps for later discussions. It is needless to say that we live in an economically highly interconnected world, and therefore, to properly deal with any global challenges will help to be at the global community level policy coordination or cooperation endeavors. So, my first point is that the most serious problem for the global community for the next five years will be what I call global leadership gap, or leadership deficit, of course, caused by the residing or withdrawal of U.S. global leadership role while no other country or no other countries try to fill the gap as yet. So, the current global economic situation, I mean, the global economic situation for the next five years could be seen more like, more like trapped in so-called Kindleburg trap, the in which there is insufficient supply provision of public goods, most importantly, free trade, and financial stability. So, my second point is to strongly argue again here. I did it a number of times at this very conference that like-minded countries at the G20 level, one might call them middle-power countries should exert a collective leadership, not only for themselves, but for the global economy as a whole. Of course, Korea is one of the countries should exert such leadership. This point will become more critical and persuasive if one looks at next couple of years global economic horizon from the cyclical perspective to foresee big challenges for both emerging and advanced economies. For emerging economies, we can see high likelihood of financial crisis, because small as central banks of important advanced countries unwinding their very unconventional monetary policies. For advanced economies, it is inevitable to avoid policy-induced recession while the central banks and the fiscal status have less room for maneuvering. So, what it means is that there is more coordinated and co-operated policy among the countries, particularly I have in mind the G20 level countries. So, at the time when global policy coordination and cooperation are needed, the global community today face lack of global leadership, which make the situation very bad. So, in conclusion, in my view, next five years we'll see more like a kinder bird, more like a trip, but I was less concerned about this trip as such. Well, let me start here. Thank you very much.


Questions have been raised by residents and Bemidji City Council members over in ordinance that bans the dressing up of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. Our Josh Peterson looks at why the City Council is planning to revisit the issue. They are one of the most iconic roadside attractions in the United States. Bemidji's statue of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox find themselves at the center of controversy after being dressed in a giant hockey jersey for Bemidji's Hockey Day Minnesota announcement. When the wild jersey went on it raised that question of they're not supposed to do that but I think fundamentally I think we maybe need to revisit that as the city council and say is it okay to use Paul and Babe and have the community use Paul and Babe for promotional purposes. For the Hockey Day Minnesota committee a lot of time and planning went into preparing the jersey for the big announcement. You know we were fortunate again the city was well aware that it was going to happen we did it in the middle of the night. Satchel Josephson an industrial tech professor over at PSU had his class come out and take measurements and make the jersey and then they participated obviously getting on Paul. Over the years many items have adorned Paul Bunyan promoting special events happening in the city. Some of those items still remain on display inside the tourist information center. Each year thousands of visitors come right here to Paul Bunyan Park to get their photograph taken with the iconic statues and some of those guests tell us that they wouldn't mind if Paul Bunyan was dressed up for an event. In fact I would encourage it because you know we are fans and you know we believe in their hockey and their school football teams and their college football teams so no I'd say do it let's let's let's have it and give everyone something to look at. At Monday's work session council members said they were ready to revisit the ordinance that was put in place back in 2014. I'd certainly support going back to what we used to do because we used to do it through the city through the parks with a safe crew with a bucket truck and and we need to take care of Paul we need to protect him. With conversations talking about repealing or replacing the ordinance either pro or con the made objective is to keep Paul standing tall and proud. In Bemidji Josh Peterson, Lakeland News. The Bemidji City Council will discuss possible changes to the ordinance at next Monday's work session.

Welcome and thank you so very much for being here, Julie and I are honored to have you for another episode of the nonprofit show. Today we have with us Karen cooks Karen's a consultant out of California and as you just heard if you just heard for the green room chatter. She's got lots of great things to talk about and today's conversation is about cost marketing versus business development. Karen before we dive into this conversation with you we of course want to make sure that our viewers and our listeners know who they're looking at or listening to. Thank you to Julia Patrick for being here and creating this wonderful platform of conversation. Julia is the CEO of the American nonprofit Academy.  But I'm also the CEO of my own consulting firm, the Raven group and really honored to serve alongside Julia, each and every day, as we continue to march forward with the nonprofit show thanks so much to our continued presenting sponsors. Those would be Blumerang American nonprofit Academy fundraising Academy nonprofit nerd, your part time controller staffing boutique and the nonprofit thought leader. Many of these companies have been with us since March of 2020. So you've heard us say this before and we'll say it again because we're very prideful of this. Again, thanks to our sponsors. We're coming up on our 600th episode. So I should check today's episode to see exactly which one we're in but we're pretty far along and really excited to continue these conversations like the one that we're going to have now with Karen cooks. You can find us on any of our episodes, or you want to go back and listen because the news was just too good.  So Karen you've been waiting so very patiently. I know that's hard because it's hard for me to do that. Okay, welcome and thank you so very much for spending some of your time with us today on the show. Oh my God I'm so excited to be here. You know there's nothing I love more really than nerding out about nonprofits and all the data things and, and I'm a fan of the nonprofit show. I won't lie. I won't lie. But you know that and then last night I actually was, if I missed any really good ones that I want to see. And so now I'm all about dog fooding. Oh, thank you. You know what, I have had in the less than 12 now less. Well not quite 24 hours. That's been up. I'm amazed at the people that have reached back out and yeah it's a great great topic so thank you. Thank you. Yeah, all about the dog fooding and I was really happy to see Alice and fine had recently joined you on the show. Big fan there to look we're all just like fan girling over smart people doing smart things and having an impact as as they move along. Well, Karen tell us a little bit about yourself. How do you serve the nonprofit sector. So, currently, I am a business development director in the western states will actually the greater Los Angeles market for the American Heart Association. So, that's a new role for me and it's really interesting to be back in house after many years as an external consultant, taking that big picture view. It's interesting how they're not necessarily mutually exclusive, you know, all of that sort of consulting hat and I say to them all the time it's hard for me to take off my consulting hat to stay kind of in my lane but it turns out that my lane of business development really is much more it's a broader lane than I think some other focus areas so it's it's a nice fit for me and I feel like it can bring a lot from my previous experiences back into an in house role. So that's where I'm at and I'm still you know I have an external client also on the side as a consultant with a company called song hero. So go and have a look at them. And that's where I'm at been in LA for almost for 30 years so you know we were talking in the green room about community, and coming back to community I feel like I have dual citizenship between my roots in Chicago and that neck of the woods and an LA so I'm not bilingual but I am by city ill, I'm by metropolitan, and I love that well and as we talk about you know cause marketing versus business development. That does kind of straddle both sides of the fence and I'm curious if you can start us off in this conversation you know we always say to our guests into ourselves we have to remind ourselves Julia that these conversations go by so very quickly. But let's start us off by saying like what exactly is cause marketing and for those of you watching you'll see on the screen that it says cause marketing is a lighter weight activation so kick us off carrying with just cause marketing in general how do you define this. Yeah, I think if I were going to distill it down to one single thing. It comes down to your it's a time perspective right so to my mind cause marketing is time constrained. If I am in a if I'm in a role in the private sector and I want to partner with an organization in the social sector. I'm likely looking at a shorter time period there is a cut off date there's a start date and a cut off date. My commitment of both time talent treasure is all going to be like a better word right now truncated. It's not less valuable, but it's truncated and it's truncated, most specifically, by time. So when I think of lighter weight activations, I think of a corporate partner in the private sector, who says, we really would like to do, we'd like to be in business with you. But we want to get our maybe we want to get our feet wet, maybe we don't really know how this goes yet we're counting on you to help us get there to help us, you know, to help guide the way. Maybe we don't have the financial resources to really invest in your mission at a in a deeper way but we'll look toward doing that. So I think it is lighter weight in those ways I think it's a nice entry point also for organizations who are looking at expanding their CSR. I mean I think oftentimes we can look at cause marketing type very specifically to CSR goals, you know, employee engagement, how well and how deep are you touching the community all those sorts of data points that you might put as a as a private sector organization in your CSR social impact report. It's a, it's the reverse side of the coin. But again, distilling it down I think when I think of it as a lighter weight activation, it is lighter weight in that it is tied specifically to duration, and then that trickles down duration. What are the other resources you can contribute during that time period. So it's lighter overall. And I think your impact overall by the way is lighter. Okay, I've got to ask this question because would you have given your the same definition before the pandemic, because a lot of what you said, I think resonates to where we are with the great resignation or the great reshuffle employees wanting to talk more about how their employers are engaging. I mean it's kind of an interesting thing. Yeah, that's a great question, great question. For me personally, I think I would have. Okay. But I'm coming from the other side of the equation, when I look at it, right.  I'm at a certain age to get a master's degree, focus solely on nonprofit leadership and management. So that was all part of my conversation, as we were heading, or the way that I was thinking going into the pandemic and so I think pandemic really amplified where I already was in my thinking, and that I was watching it expand so for me personally, I think yes, I would have defined it in this manner, but I think the ship is the ship is getting bigger and it's all moving out to see now. I'm going to use a whole bunch of bad metaphors. It's great. No, no, I interrupted you but I just, I just was so intrigued by Karen's response I had to. Well, and I want to just make sure that everyone knows because you know I feel like the entire world, not just our sector is acronym soup so for those of you that are scratching your head going, what is CSR right that's corporate social responsibility. So, if we, if we because I'm sure I'll say it to CSR. If we, you know, say that again throughout the course of the conversation just keeping your head that's corporate social responsibility. I love that definition and, and I would agree with you I think Julia that's how I saw it going into the pandemic. And, and I would agree that it's like it's really just elevated to a whole new level of what that looks like. Like, I've seen so many companies become even more engaged with nonprofits is they see this as an opportunity to play a role in the solution, right of the community problem so let's talk now about you know this halo effect because I do we talk about you know halo effect when it comes to, you know, corporations or funders are kind of like, look who's on board don't you also want to be on board but let's, I want you Karen to talk to us about the warm glow of the halo effect what does that mean. So now I think we have to dig in a little deeper are you thinking that the warm glow of the halo effect that it's the warm glow on the private sector partner of the alliance or the warm glow that the nonprofit might get. I think it's a, I think it's a good question because I think it goes both ways. Yeah, right. And we don't, we don't address that because I think we undervalue ourselves on the nonprofit side. Yes, I agree. Yeah, right. And so when we think about when I think about the halo effect I also think about the language we use in terms of like we were talking about the word soup. If we if we take the word cause marketing away away and we make it a cause partnership, is it a cause alliance.  It's not cause marketing, right. It's an alliance and when you have an alliance, then you have a halo effect that is gold it's a golden hour on both sides of the party right that's how I feel about it so to your point Julia. I think the social sector does itself a disservice when it thinks it's not bringing anything to the alliance that couldn't be more untrue. It is the very reason that your private sector partners want to partner with you. You bring community you bring the knowledge of what it is to be boots on the ground. There is nobody better than the social sector not even the public sector, who can deliver programs and services to the community in the way that it is because it's already there it understands it's yes it's data. Yes it's all the things but it's also human. You're already there. If I'm a private sector partner in this alliance.  I need sunscreen. I need sunscreen. I just made that up. Right. Is there sunscreen for halo effect. There should be. You know, I love what you said, because I think that one word partnership or alliance. It is magical, because it turns the sense of value. And it kind of forces us in the nonprofit sector to step up and to say yeah we do have value. And yeah we are making you look good. Yeah. And I love to like, you know, changing that language that you just did Karen like it gave me a similar lump in my throat thinking that it's moving from transactional to relationship through partnership. Yes. Yes. And so that would be another differentiator right as we move maybe the conversation from cause marketing or cause alliance which is, you know, more time based it's, you know, time sensitive, and you look at business development. It's not that the prior is not strategic, but there are more strategic opportunities to build that alliance in deeper ways with deeper roots, you know, goes back to what you were just saying so yeah. I love this conversation. And I've got to say Karen, you know, at this time of the year, we're looking at these relationships for Q4 and in this, this push at the end of the year and the holidays. This is such a great conversation for right now. Such a great conversation. You know, for me when I think about, you know, moving into that other lane of business development from the nonprofit side of the equation. I really do think it's important to steward your and cultivate just as you would with an individual individual donor steward cultivate and steward your corporate partners. Right. If somebody comes in because they're getting their feet wet and they really don't have a clear understanding of what the needs are on the nonprofit side of the equation that they are going to bring their resources to right. Everybody's bringing something to the table. Now they're engaged. They could continue doing another program the same way the next year, same length of time maybe a little longer maybe put a different sheen on it, you know, maybe they align themselves with a different focus area or service meaning in in your organization, all fair they're still family they're still they're still doing the good work. But what if what if that relationship expands and grows and you do bring greater levels of the time talent and yes the treasure, because that's what's required to keep everything moving forward so I think that they're in in a role of instance is I think people miss that opportunity to cultivate and steward their corporate partners into deeper roles into, you know, let's talk about board roles. Let's talk about volunteer leadership. You know, then we're talking about another nuance now we're talking about boundary spanning. I'm curious Karen, because I just helped an organization, you know, disseminate a donor survey and so it was sent to all supporters, all donors all constituents I use those three words, often very interchangeably. You know that the information that came back from the individuals was essentially we want to hear more client success stories, and the information coming back from companies was essentially saying, you do a great job with the information here. We don't want anything less and we also don't want anything more. So I'm curious because of my experience with this Karen, how you would suggest we engage with these corporate social responsibility leaders in in sharing the impact and continuing that stewardship and cultivation. What would you say in that arena. I guess I want to clarify the question. So, are they looking for, you know, social data and information they can include in their own social impact reports. Did I am I understanding that or This was the organization the nonprofit actually did the nonprofit or did the donor survey rather and so they we were soliciting from our stakeholders. So I'm curious, you know, with that information how you would suggest that any organization reach out to corporate social responsibility leaders and you know community members to say hey, how can we best form this alliance. So first thing, and I would say this of any relationship. You got to put your listening ears on. Yeah. Right bring your listening ears. I think that. And I'm sort of riffing here it's such a great question to think about. Um, way that's what we're here for riffle yeah you know I wonder.  Right. We have some ideas, let us tell you about the service line let us tell you about this focus area maybe you're unaware that we have changed the way that we work in this particular area. You know, I, as I'm saying this out loud even as we go along. I'm realizing that there are oftentimes when I will say to someone. I'm not sure you know, but we, right, but we have a thing over here that does this, and it serves that. It could be as simple as that because you know, acronym soup or whatever like we all have our lingo and it's like, we, why don't you know that of course you know that and, and Julie I'm thinking of one of our one of our very large shelters and our community, and they've really been, been known as you know, this is the place where you go to get a hot meal, you know and it's like they do so much more than that. I really think you know it's, it's on us to say, did you know we have this. Yeah, but I think you also have to be with with respect to the listeners, I think you have to maybe enter those conversations, knowing maybe that there's already a gap, and not like lying and wait, but sort of assuming that there's a gap in information, and that it's our job to remedy that so when you have the opening and you see somebody just sort of dug their heels in on a certain area that they're familiar with because you're in main brand mission in your community, you know, but to your point but do you because did you know this thing. And by the way maybe that thing is somewhat smaller actually even for your own organization and you're looking to make it grow and now you have found a potential partner to help develop that but that also goes back to what we were starting to touch on the boundary spanning. Right, why are we bringing corporate partners into relationship with us right it's not just for their private sector dollars. It's also for their acumen just as we are bringing our acumen to their community right to their service. The boundary spanning I know we talk about that when we talk at building board talk about building boards we talk about our volunteer leaders but those volunteer leaders also exist within our corporate partner alliances. I think that identifying what their strengths are, either from an organizational perspective or an individual executive partner in, you know, that you're working with bring that acumen to the table how can it help build that new service area that's smaller that they didn't know about or an existing one, but I don't know does that. Now I think that's very helpful and one of the things the three of us talked about in our green room chatter before we went lives was about how cause marketing, you know, it's, it's a moving target, it continues to evolve and change. I think that does the CSR the corporate social responsibility models of our corporations and our alliances, but I'm curious, you know, because we said it straddles cause marketing it straddles business development. Let's move into the business development side of this conversation. Do you believe Karen that cause marketing is in fact business development for our nonprofits. I think cause marketing is business development for the private sector. And I say that because of, I mean it's an opportunity for a nonprofit to link arms and all the ways we've talked about but I think if we're talking about is business is cause marketing business development for the social sector. No, it is intended. Primarily, as a driver for the private sector. In my opinion, you're on fire. I saw you. Yeah, my hair is on fire. And as I like to say, I don't have a lot of hair to lose. So this is a big moment. Yeah, you know what, I love that you called this out, because it even amplifies the nature of the notion of partnership and alliance. So I appreciate you saying this. Yeah, it's, it's not that it doesn't have value for the social sector, but you know, is it driving revenue for us, maybe, maybe yes, not even a maybe sure it is. But when we're talking about business development, we're really talking about capacity building we're talking about sustainability. Are we not. Yeah, I right. Right. And so I don't think that a single program of cause marketing is the answer for, especially a smaller organ. Well, let me take that back. It might be a really solid answer for a smaller organization.  You also have grants, you have, you know, you have another opportunity, number of other opportunities and pathways to meet your annual goal. And by the way, happy end of fiscal year to most nonprofits who are ending today, because speaking of hair on fire, you can have hair on fire. How many hours do we have to go? I know, I know. It's that, it's that. But yeah, I think, yeah, without belaboring it too much, I do think that the revenue opportunities and, or just the general benefits around cause marketing as a specific phrase really lean in. You know, they, I think they favor, favor the private sector because for my money and my time and time is money. I'm not going to say no as a nonprofit leader. I'm not going to say no to partnering in that way because again then you also have the stewardship and cultivation opportunities. Once a program like that is successful and everybody's happy and you have the halo and the warm glow and nobody's hair is on fire. You know, you can move into more meaningful things, but I do think, again, not to belabor it too much. I think it's, it weighs more heavily on in favor of the private sector. Yeah, I agree. I agree. I think it's important to to recognize that I really do and, and I think if you can understand that, then it helps you and your development team and your C suite understand what resources you're going to put towards this. And how you're going to value it. Right. These relationships. The value question a curveball question so we mentioned CSR and literally that stands for corporate social responsibility. But how are small businesses playing a part in this cause marketing. Because to me, you know, I also see a lot of small businesses, family owned businesses that have a very large propensity to, you know, philanthropy and being part of their community and being civically engaged. So is it only for the big dogs Karen, or is it for like any company that that wishes to have a component of, you know, impact in the social sector. I think any company. Yeah. Anybody, any company that has any company that it's made a home in any community of any size, anywhere in the country. If you think about it, you've already been connected to your community in probably some philanthropic ways without putting the big philanthropy, you know, banner over it. I mean, I think it's rare that a, you know, a small privately owned family company doesn't have a connection in some way to some mission. It may be to a larger health related issue it may be you know, but more often than not, my experience is that those companies really tie directly back to their own community so you live in a small community. That should not stop you as a nonprofit from linking arms with your private sector friends. You're all living in the same place trying to elevate everybody's life trying to make things better for everyone. That's a to me that's not even a curveball that's a yes. It's a line drive. Yeah. Why are you not. You, all of this great has been marvelous I'm going to use that word because I heard you say that you loved it earlier. You that have also enjoyed having this conversation with Karen cooks I want to make sure that you know how to reach out to her Karen cooks calm. She's also very involved on LinkedIn so you can find her there as well. I just want to say thank you thank you for, you know, going back to school to get your degree in nonprofit management leadership and for dedicating your time, you know, to the sector and for sharing your valuable time and expertise with us today. Thank you. I loved every second. Call me back anytime. We will. I think we will. Everybody I'm Julia Patrick against CEO of the American nonprofit Academy have been joined today my partner in crime, Sharon Ransom, the nonprofit nerd herself. We want to make sure that we extend a tremendous amount of gratitude to all of our presenting sponsors who've been with us in this conversation today. Blumerang American nonprofit Academy, your part time controller nonprofit nerd fundraising Academy Academy, staffing boutique and nonprofit thought leader. This has just been a wonderful, wonderful conversation to have again Karen I've loved your comments. I think you spurned me on to understand that we need to spend more time elevating the value of these relationships from the nonprofit side. So thank you for doing that. It's really profound. It's really profound. Hey everybody as we are starting to wrap up a very busy week, a very busy year for so many of our nonprofits. Oh my gosh, please remember our mantra to stay well so you can do well.


Mark, rwy'n fawr y gallwch cyntaf, rwy'n fawr hwnnw i gwaith yng Nghymru, John Tomkinson. Rhywbeth fawr yw'n ddorolol i ddechrau'r rhai cyntaf ar y Lailenion? Narhwch am ymweld, mae'r rhaid i rhaid i ddechrau'r cyntaf, ac mae'n cynghwys hwnnw. Mae'n cwestiynau bod y gweithio'r llwystdau yn ddigadol. Wir e os ydym ni'n cymhiliad iaith y llyffydd rhywbeth yn tari'r llwyffyr. Mae'r ddynch yn yn ôl, er fyddai'n rhoi cerdd solidus, yn gyfnod y cychwynedd. Maen nhw'n cael llun gyda'r nhw. Maen nhw'n cael eu siaradau am y cyfnodol. Wrth gweithio gwybod eich cyfnod o'r ffyrddol. When do you bring to the group? I've got good ability on the ball, got good pace as well. Good passion, ability as well as you'd imagine. He's one certainly that will make a claim for a spot. He needs to get up to speed in terms of what we want from him to get a good understanding of that and understand what demands there are on us. Felly yn ni'n ddweud i'ch bwysig o'r cyffredin ar gyfer mynd gael y cyffredin a wneud i'r rhaid i'w ddweud i'w ddweud. A oes gyd y bydd y dyfodol y ffordd yn y ffordd o'r cwyloss? Felly, mae'n ddiwy'n wneud i'w ddechrau, mae'n rhai hyn yn cael ei fod yn y bwysig, mae'n rhaid i bwysig o'r cyffredin a'r bwysig, ond rhaid i'w ddweud i'w ddweud i'w ddweud i'w ddweud i'w gael. If JT, as they've imprisoned him, is able to make us better in that regard, then that's great because he wants to make an impression, he wants to keep developing his own career and he has a good opportunity here, a good platform to be able to do that. So, yeah, we wish him well. Does he come into contention for Saturday? We'll win seal, like I said, he needs to get up to speed in terms of what we expect, he's coming into a new environment so what he's been told at his parent club may well be slightly different to what we expect so it's about getting those details right but I wouldn't rule him out but maybe it's a little bit soon but I'll make a decision the area of the day really. Just on that front, how are you elsewhere going into that game? We've got a few injuries there, we've got a doubt over Tyler unfortunately and he poked up in training on Tuesday so he didn't train today so we'll give him as long as he needs and hopefully he'll be okay but at the moment he's a doubt. We've got a couple back, Ash Taylor's back training with the group, Gillies' back training with the group so we've got a couple coming back but obviously losing Tyler if we do lose him is a blow. If he's not available, where does that leave you for striking options? We've got options, we can look at different things and yeah, we probably haven't got a real focal point in terms of like a cookie obviously or a verdaine so we'll have to approach that or our forward play in a little bit of a different way just because we haven't got that focal point but no, we've got good players in the top end of the pitch that can affect the game in different ways. Is Kevin at Donald? Kev as well, so Kev back in the training group didn't do the whole session today but we've just eased him back, we'll see how he is tomorrow, yeah we'll take it from there but he's obviously in contention. And just finally on this front and the situation, I know you said on Saturday was it a couple of weeks is that very much still the case? It's probably a little longer than that to be honest. We had good news that the specialist don't think it needs surgery which was the big worry for everybody, obviously for Andy himself clearly but that's been cleared so that's a good thing but he still needs a number of weeks to be able to come back. But I think there sometimes specialists and consultants err on the side of safety and picking a random number out and you think to me he's not going to be out that long is he? So we think given how Andy's feeling himself and the need so then I think he'll be back sooner rather than later but it's not going to be two weeks, it'll be longer than that. Just on Saturday's opponents Grimsby, what are your thoughts about that game that's of course on the television as well? Well yeah early kickoff I think that's the initial thought in terms of how there affects our preparation and maybe the opposition as well so yeah you just have to adjust accordingly but Grimsby have had a good start. They've been able to obviously benefit from some outstanding goals. I think the reality is we are actually probably higher there in terms of expected goals but they've been scoring from outside of the box from 20, 30 yards so that's obviously enabled them to win games but they're expected goals are probably half of what the goals they've actually scored. So they're riding that way but at the moment so it's up to us to make sure we don't give them any opportunities. A player that you know well scoring a few of those great goals? Yeah I've always always been capable of that if you look at those goals in the past they're of a similar type so yeah he hasn't lost that ability, he'll never lose that ability so yeah we've just got to make sure he doesn't get in those key areas of the field where he likes to produce. He's obviously moved on now, he's with Grimsby. Just how difficult a decision if it's difficult at all was that in the summer to move in a different path? Well it is difficult, we all know how much struggle with injuries here for whatever reasons couldn't get a run of consistent game time. The injuries always just used to step in and hold him back and he's won't step forward almost always three steps back and he had to build himself up again so it was a frustration for him and clearly for me as well. And obviously we were in Fenniston for two years while he was here we didn't really get a return on those two years just because he couldn't have that sustained fitness that he needs. So it would have been very difficult to offer him anything on the basis of that so clearly he's going to run now and that's hopefully what's going to enable him to have consistent appearances which he could never do here. So we're wishing well, he was always well thought of here, nice kid and got a lot of time for our board, it'd be nice to see him at the weekend. Nice to be back at Bally Parade. Yes it seems a long time ago clearly. It was only the third game in nine at home so it's been a challenge for us but we're okay. I think it's good to be back home. We've won the first two games which is the first time we've done that for a number of years so it would be good to continue in that vein and get another win on the board at home. That's going to be important for us clearly and let's see where the game takes. It's going to be a good side and try and play in an attacking manner that may well help us because that'll give us opportunities going the other way. I know we say a lot about travelling and what not but the amount of away games that you've had but how much of a difference does it actually make to just have a couple of home games on the horizon? Well yeah I mean the away games are different, it's different environment, it's different preparation in terms of bus travel or however we travel and the times are different so it is disruptive whereas when we're at home it's familiar, it's comfortable, we know exactly where we're going, we know what we want to do and the times and all that sort. That is pretty planned and you feel more comfortable in your surroundings and obviously given the support we have at home as well it just all comes together and on that basis that's why home games are better than away games so that's why we're looking forward to it at the weekend. It's an opportunity once again to get points on the board and continue that run of form at home. Just final one from me, just on Daniel Roy you're okay, you used him in a central midfield role recently, just your thoughts on that? Yeah I think he's got the potential to play a day, yeah a sign of good players that you can play in any number of positions, clearly he was brought as a right back or a wing back, you can play both positions really well, you can play the right side centre back as well. Yeah and I just think that's an option for us, something that was worth looking at, he's obviously got a physical presence that sometimes we need in games in that middle area of the field. So yeah it's something that we'll look at again, I'm sure in training we see him in there and be impressed with his ability just to adapt and be efficient in his work in a different area of the field. So that's credit to him that he has that capacity. Did you know that upon his arrival? No not really, I just looked at his ability on the ball which is good, he's quick enough and sharp enough to be able to cope in there. Sometimes central defenders find it a little bit more difficult but obviously he's comfortable in wider positions as well so that ability on the ball lends itself well to maybe defensive midfield positions as well. So I think it's a good option that we might pursue in certain games, not every game obviously, but it's a good option to have knowing that Daniel can cope if he needs to go into those areas. Next one. All given. You said obviously early kick off which changes things, also being on telly, Megan, I want to talk to you before the game and things like that, how much does it change your prematch routine? It doesn't change at all, some might say I've had my air cut but there's a few air cuts actually in the group so I think they've noticed but in fairness the vast amount of managerial career was in the spotlight on TV cameras were all over the place so it doesn't really phase me. The lads themselves have been televised in numerous games throughout their careers so it's not such a big thing these days I think. For me there might be a little bit more to do prize of the game and after the game but in terms of their presence being there affecting how we think that doesn't affect it. There's one thing that might affect the temperature that's predicted to be in the 30s again. Or maybe that's a benefit of kicking off 12 o'clock, mind you that's the hottest time of the day we're talking about so yeah we will have to wait and see yeah we were in a warm snap at the moment so different from the cold snap that we seem to have been in for the length of the summer break. I think certainly last weekend maybe the heat because it was the first warm day I think we'd had for quite some time I think that maybe just took a little bit of the edge out of our dynamic play in terms of being able to get up to people who just took a little bit of the energy out of both teams in fairness I said after the game. So we've had the benefit of training and working in the heat all week so I would like to think we'd be fine now so it's just about making sure you work correctly at the right times and when you get the opportunity to conserve the energy that's when you do it but you don't do it when you need to expend and that's the key.  Well I think everybody is encouraged by how Bobby is progressing they can see that with their own eyes because obviously I'm giving him opportunities in the first team so we're not going to throw in in terms of we don't want him to sink we want him to swim so there's a danger sometimes if you put too much pressure on him too early then you can go the other way and that's detrimental to him and his development but he's doing very well at the moment. He's well thought of in the group because they can see he's a good young player and that's half the battle when you're trying to make your way in this game is that you'd accept it by your senior pros and they recognise the talent you have so he's very much part of the first team group now last year it was more that he was coming up from the academy and having sporadic training sessions with us and then going back to the academy and doing his work there but this year he's been with us from the outset So one of the main reasons I was comfortable enough letting Ryan East go out on loan to get game time because he obviously was desperate to play himself was that I knew that we had Bobby that could come in and it just opened his pathway open a little bit to allowing those opportunities and actually he's probably had more opportunities early on than I probably would have thought but he's there on merit he's training exceptionally well and when you're young player you've got to make an impression because that gives me a problem so he's doing that at the moment we're pleased with how he's progressing he's a good kid who wants to work and wants to learn which is the key he's very coachable he's a guy that takes in information and understands the game really really well for a young player so we're accredited to him He seems to have his feet very much on the ground Yeah he's got a good family around him as well that keep that in check so yeah I think he's on the right path he just needs to keep progressing and keep working down that path Obviously it can never to me have this buzz around him because he's a local lad and never because supporters always feel a bit of affinity for someone coming through so when he's out there straight away they're singing straight away Yeah that's always been the case whenever players that come through the ranks it doesn't matter which club you're at that's always the case there's a little bit as a young player coming through myself I was caught a little bit more slack when I made mistakes and I think that's true of all young players at any club Yeah everybody it's a real Philip for everybody I think there's a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes and the academy do a fantastic job here and the quality of the players that we get to obviously have a look at in senior training sessions is always good and that's credit to them On occasion as our numbers aren't correct for the session we want to do so we bring the young lads up and almost without fail they keep the standard the level it needs to be they're not detrimental to what we're doing just because they're an academy player so that's why we're more than happy to bring young players through Because we know they're at the right standard and the right level to make sure the sessions are good and on the back of that Bobby's been able to progress further so yeah it's working well at the moment Is Bobby developing at the level you were hoping he would do? Or is he above that? He had a really good pre-season I felt. He played good minutes in pre-season and I almost without fail impressed in every game he played so once the season starts I'm more inclined just to go with senior players initially but whenever he's introduced he makes an impression so he's doing very well It just don't grim as we haven't beaten in the last four couple of clean sheets in that as well with your sort of injuries in that attacking third what you talked about or how much you've got to tweak your approach this week in training for that? Well the fitness obviously we're lacking cookie as we know Tyler was a recent one so it looks like he may mess out for us as well so in this case today I've just seen the best options and best way to go to make sure that we've still got that attacking threat that clearly we need so we've still got good options, good options are wide we've got options down the middle as well So we may have to change it around a little bit in terms of what we want to do but we'll still have that threat that's the intention obviously we've just got to make sure that we're on the front foot and we're asking questions of them as long as we get good bodies and good numbers in the area where the ball is then it's difficult for the opposition and you can start creating


Jeremy Renner who lives in a remote estate near Mount Rose Summit in Reno, Nevada was recently involved in a snow plowing accident where he had to be airlifted from his property. His secluded retreat in the Sierra Nevada Mountains boasts five bedrooms, a wooden cabin style interior with stone fireplaces as well as a recording studio where Jeremy keeps his instruments, there's also a swimming pool and much more. The movie star has lived in Los Angeles in the past but prefers it in the Reno area where he lives now and is well known in the local community, even visiting homeless centers and helping out on certain holidays like Thanksgiving. When he's not busy with his acting gigs, another hobby Jeremy has is flipping luxury homes. With his real estate partner, he's bought, renovated and sold over two dozen Southern California properties since the early 2000s. In these videos we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. After being involved in a serious snow plowing accident on his property actor Jeremy Renner was admitted to the hospital at the start of the 2023 new year. It's at his remote residence near Mount Rose Summit in Reno, Nevada where the star likes to collect and renovate fire trucks, ambulances, snow plows and more. At his ranch home, Jeremy is never bored and reportedly loves living in the Sierra Nevada Mountains north of Lake Tahoe. It shouldn't come as a surprise that Jeremy's injury had to do with one of his industrial snow plows as he's often clearing snow on his private driveway and surrounding paths with them and he's a lover of heavy machinery. Renner frequently posts photos on Instagram posing next to his renovated trucks and snowmobiles. When he isn't working on set, he has spent countless hours renovating around 200 vehicles, including fire engines, utility vans and ambulance that he is converting into a vet clinic and city buses that he will transform into mobile homes. He also has a collection of snow plows and 2021 Jeremy spoke about his property saying it isn't a horse ranch it's more of a horse power branch. The Marvel actor also recently complained of more heavy snow due to unexpected winter storms across the US and in 2021 he also shared that he was building a fire station at his home because it was a hot zone. Renner explained about this, there's been a fire not a half mile from where my house is, pretty threatening. I'm using fire trucks for defensible space and for protecting my neighborhood, all the people up there. And he is a trained volunteer firefighter so it seems that he knows what he's doing. Jeremy bought and moved to his secluded Reno area home 9 or so years ago and it was said to have cost him around 2 million dollars. It's surrounded by mountains and towering pine trees while the bedrooms overlook natural scenery. There are five bedrooms and five bathrooms throughout as well as a rustic wooden interior including a large wooden staircase leading to the upper level which is hand carved. There are plenty of high ceilings and open plan living spaces in Jeremy's sprawling home many of which offer huge stone fireplaces and chandeliers overhead including in the formal dining room. The dining room also has a peaked roof along with a full wall of windows like many of the other rooms in the home giving off some stunning views of the property. Elsewhere in the home there's a cozy sun room that devils as a more casual dining nook, a spacious kitchen and a study slash library.  The actor also constructed his very own recording studio in his home where he keeps his drum kit, guitar and piano. Jeremy estimates that he's written about a thousand songs here so far and often posts pics on social media such as this one where he's playing a guitar in his studio. Outside his remote property also has a handful of amenities including the massive swimming pool, terrace areas as well as a fire pit. Jeremy is well known in the local community of Reno where he gets involved including paying visits to homeless shelters on holidays such as Thanksgiving and helping children choose toys in the local shops. He even became an honorary Washoe County Sheriff's Office Deputy in 2018 and works with fire departments in the area to help tackle blazing wildfires in the summer months. He told the Kelly Clarkson show in 2021, they work with the fire departments up there and they are pretty awesome. They are teaching me and helping me and I still have to get some more hours in with them. Jeremy chooses to live in the Reno area not only because of the beautiful mountains but because it's apparently the biggest little city. He told the Reno Gazette that he loves the strong sense of community too. Explaining, in a big city it's hard to find community and even know your neighbors in a big city but with Reno I find I know quite a few people here. It's just big enough and it's just small enough for me and I love it. Jeremy was first introduced to the area while skiing as a youth in the Sierra during family vacations with his four younger siblings. These days he teaches all of the children in his family how to ski in the Reno Tahoe area. Though he hasn't been able to hit the slopes himself for about a decade. His consistent work schedule might keep Jeremy traveling the globe and frequenting Hollywood still. He has said in the past he always finds it refreshing to come home to Nevada. Between Jeremy's acting career, his hobby of collecting and fixing up cars and machines, making music and more. It's shocking he has time for yet another passion. Another thing that Jeremy has spent years doing is being involved in home flipping as well as home design and development which brings another aspect of his creative personality to light. With his real estate partner Christopher Winters Jeremy has bought, renovated and sold over two dozen homes in Southern California since the early 2000s. One of these many properties was purchased by Selling Sunset Star and Realtor himself, Jason Oppenheim in 2020. This home was located in the Mount Olympus area in the Hollywood Hills and Jason purchased it for $5.1 million in an off-market deal. Jeremy actually built this home in 2008 and sold it shortly thereafter. The modern architectural style home is set above the Sunset Strip on two thirds of an acre of land and inside offers up 4,900 square feet of space as well as four beds and four baths throughout. This spacious home is quite open concept and the layout is ideal for entertaining. The courtyard entry out front leads into the double height, two-story great room that has a lofted lounge as well as a full wall of steel-framed glass overlooking the yard and a dramatic fireplace. The Center Island kitchen has white cabinets, top-grade appliances, a casual dining nook and doors to outside. Other highlights in the contemporary mansion include a cozy movie theater, an office with private garden and a stunning master suite. It has a private balcony overlooking the city lights. The ensuite bath here is equally stylish and has its very own fireplace too. Out back, the focal point of the grounds is certainly the large solar heated saltwater swimming pool, while bonuses include a raised spa, cabana and elsewhere of fire pit and grassy lawn. That home was definitely beautiful. But what's likely the most lucrative house flips that Jeremy executed has got to be the $24 million Los Angeles abode he sold back in 2013. This mansion, dubbed the reserve, located in the homey hills area of LA, is probably one of Jeremy and his business partners' bravest investments. The pair purchased the home in 2010 for $7 million and a whopping $10 million was said to have been invested into a remodel of the property, the assistance of architect Philip Vertock. The stunning 10,000 square foot mansion spans one massive level, along with six bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. It was designed in a unique and classic old Hollywood vibe and described in the listing as a roaring 20s art deco style abode, perfect for the 21st century's Howard Hughes. I love the design of this place and most of the mansion's interior has this 1920s theme boasting plenty of powder rooms, pressed in ceilings and highlights like a gentleman's room with bar. The estate ended up selling for the whopping price of $24 million to British real estate mogul Christian Candy, who liked the interior setup so much that he purchased most of the furnishings with the home. Situated on 1.89 acres of land, the grounds of the mansion offer a plenty of amenities, including a swimming pool with fountains and sunbathing terrace, while out front there's a massive motor court. Each bedroom in the home came with its own private bathroom with subway tiling, while the large corner master suite had his and hers bathrooms and dressing rooms. Other fun spaces included a 12-seat home theater with state-of-the-art equipment and a library hall with custom bookshelves. The open floor plan and the formal living and dining room gave maximum space. For hosting parties while the stylish kitchen was so upscale, it could impress any cook, offering features like two working islands and then over in the dining room, lights trimmed in via full walls of glass. One of those more unique spaces in the home, the gentleman's room came with a full wet bar made to impress. While the lounging area here was decked out with old headshots of actors from classic Hollywood to really complete this home's design. While that's not even close to an exhaustive list of Jeremy Renner's former homes that he's flipped in the past, you get the idea. While he's helped to design and sell some stunning mansions in LA, the actor still prefers his much more rustic and remote mansion in the Reno area of Nevada. I think that'll bring today's house tour to an end, but while we wait for Jeremy's recovery, answer this question for me.  Or would you be too traumatized? We don't know what Jeremy's going to do yet, but let me know your thoughts in the comments down below. Don't forget to like, subscribe and turn on your notification.

Not everyone in the United States military is originally from the United States. Petty Officer 1st Class Richard Eiffa is one of those serving his new country. Originally from Ghana, he came to the United States at 21, seeking an education. And along with serving as a sailor, he also brings his perspective to the diversity of America and recognizing that diversity through events like Black History Month. Black History Month is a period where we actually reflect on the accomplishments of Black people in these countries. It has been a struggle in the past. When I don't have to go through those things, they did all the legwork for me, and all I have to do is to just work hard. That to me is what Black History Month means to me. It's just a period where you take the time to honor those. I cannot thank them enough. Airman 1st Class Sarah Mitchell, Masawa Air Base, Japan.


The schedule's a little quicker today, isn't it? Well, how do you do? Happy birthday. Well, thank you very much. I've got two things for you. I'm so sorry. We'll give you some first. Glad to see you catching up on me now. After you showed me up at Philadelphia and announced how old I was. This thing is too heavy for me to carry, so I had to get one of these younger men. And we'll get out of it finally here. This is the Ben Franklin I made when I was 15 years old. I gave it to the Bicentennial, and the Bicentennial then and turned and sold it to the Franklin Men's for $50,000 down on 5% of the sales. Would you regret wasting all your time in that courtroom? I couldn't do it as well now. I was totally unsuspected. The price of silver is today. It's about $30-some dollars a pound. How much silver is in there? Silver is about about eight pounds. I would guess it doesn't feel about eight pounds to you. Pretty good. You'll have to talk to your tax lawyers to see whether you have to put this in your taxes. I don't know. I haven't found out yet. That's solid silver, Mr. President. Well, my goodness. You've got plenty of things to do, and I'm not going to detain you, Mr. President. We gave one, or the Charlie Price did, your ambassador in London gave one. Did you see the picture? You showed me the picture of Charlie Price presenting the Brown's copy to Margaret Thatcher. No, I haven't seen that yet. I have it for you. She said Charlie Price called me on the phone. That presentation was on the 17th when you and I were in Philadelphia, and they were dedicating the Franklin House on Craven Street. And she said, do you really mean that Chief Justice made this? When did he find the time? And then Charlie said, he did it 65 years ago. Well, listen, as I say, it was a remarkable time. Wonderful to see you. Thank you very much. Take it easy if you get hours to... It will. Thank you. See you, Chief Justice. Good to see you. Yeah, that's nice.  Just saying. How are you? Good to see you again. Sorry about this week, but we did our best. A few of our own people on the stand. Well, listen, I'm most grateful to you for that. We're here to wish you a happy birthday from the people in Pennsylvania. This is my mother, Catherine Walden. Hi. That's my daughter. And your birthday will be the same age as I am tomorrow. We have both had our 38th anniversary of our 30th anniversary. Beautiful. This is Billy Adolph, who's a candidate for State House. He's the chairman of a township in Delaware County. This is Tony McCutchey, leader of our senior citizens, who gathered all these signatures on this card for you and helped out. These are from the people of Pennsylvania who are wishing you well and thanking you for seven years of tremendous government service for the people of America. He was a leader of the media borough, a Republican leader, with your favorite jelly beans. That's okay for you. Wish you a happy birthday. Well, thank you very much. And this is Freddie Icona, who's also one of our hardworking Republican committee people. Here's a little present from me. It plays a little tune. That's from the convention when you ran. Freddie was down at the last convention. I want to take this cake. Before I go on, but... It plays again. The Star Spangled Banner. Star Spangled Banner. Yeah. That was from the convention. The last convention. Can we get a shot with a group photo, Mr. President? Let me get you right in the center here. I know you're busy. That's great. Everybody here. Right here. Thank you. Okay. We really appreciate you taking the time. We wish you well. And once again, thanks for everything you've done for us. You've just been a tremendous inspiration for everybody in America. We really appreciate it. That's my boy. I only have seven boys. Seven boys and two girls. And I'm 77, too. Mr. President, do you remember when you were a media a couple of years ago? When Kurt was writing. Media or county? Media or county. Well, I took some nice pictures of yourself and everybody else on that platform today. And I am one of your great supporters. Big supporters. I'm sorry you lost that contract, but in a backfire. Don't worry about it. It's your will. In a backfire. That's right. In a backfire. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. President. Happy birthday. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. President. And he said, would you please get up, the President, to sign my birthday card for me? He did. He signed the card. He signed the photograph for me. Oh, did he? Oh, that's wonderful. He knows you. Yes. Great grandson. Okay. That's good. Thanks a lot, Mr. President. I appreciate it. Thank you. I was asking about her. Yes, I will. Thank you, ma'am. Goodbye. Thank you. Okay.


Now we have very interesting questions about, for example, about broadband, about cloud computers, etc., etc. We have a very powerful command, powerful team, I think, for research. I mean the chairs and vice-chairs of the study group and reporters and vice-reporters of each questions. And I think we obtained a very interesting result in this study period. I think the board plans provided by reporters on this meeting, we can see in these board plans, so we have very interesting outcomes as the guidelines on the migration to the broadband networks from the existing situation and a lot of different interesting issues. Participation in the ITU for the academies. First, it's ability to provide own research to the big companies like Microsoft, Cisco, Intel, etc. There is a place where the universities can obtain additional funding for own research. The second is this ability to participate in the interesting international projects like regional initiatives. For example, our academy in this year participated in the implementation of regional initiative accepted by WTDC in 2010 in Hyderabad on mobile banking systems and we created the curricula on the design, security and technical operation of mobile banking systems for telecommunication universities of CIS region. I think we also created some training courses for our students about the child online protection or content filtering, etc. The third ability is the ability to access the freshest information. For example, contributions of countries. For example, reports of study groups, etc. Because the other universities who will not participate in the ITU activities can't obtain the fresh information directly from the member states, from the sector members, etc. There is also the possibility to attract the ITU experts for the educational and science program of the university. It's also a possibility to publish some materials in the ITU journals or other resources.
