Appreciate everybody. Get case two going here in just a moment.


We are teaching massive hemorrhage control to the Fijian Army and to some of the New Zealand Army. It's part of a larger training called TCCC, which is the Army's Tactical Combat Care course that we teach all of our medics and so we teach it to them as well. The goal here is to train them enough that they can go back and train their soldiers. But this is the first time doing it with Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.


Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new edition of Tomorrow News. We've got launches, we've got Starship data and we've got some seat purchases to talk about. We've got commercial contracts and we've got weather. So if you'd like to see all that and more in the future from us, make sure to hit that subscribe button and ring the bell for some notifications so you don't miss the next episode of news or when we next go live. So sit back and react as this is your Tomorrow News for the week of February 14th, 2021. Starting off with SpaceX and some good news, according to the company themselves, there are now more than 10,000 styling users pointing dishes at the sky to get some rather quick internet. As you can probably tell, I really want to be a part of that 10,000 but I guess this is good practice of patience and to try and not be too jealous. We've got some data off the back of SN9's flight with a lot of questions circulating around the Raptor relight just before landing. Mad Overlord put this to Elon on Twitter proposing the idea to fire all three Raptors and shutting down at least one unhelpful one, assuming that they are all working. In response, Musk simply stated that we were too dumb. Lighting all three engines first and then shutting down the least efficient one is probably the best chance that SpaceX actually has at sticking a landing earlier until more development has happened with the Raptor engine and the fueling to allow a higher probability of a relight. SpaceX have also revealed that two more dedicated rideshare missions are planned for the year being adequately called Transporter 2 and Transporter 3. The customer base for SpaceX's small sack launches is also growing, which is probably the last thing Rocket Lab, Virgin Orbit and Firefly are wanting to hear right now. Approximately three years ago, this absolute beast launched out of LC39A. We all know it. It is Falcon Heavy, the current most powerful rocket on the face of the Earth. Well, NASA have just forked over $331 million over to SpaceX to launch the first two pieces of Gateway on it. For comparison, the Psyche Asteroid Pro being launched in 2022 cost NASA just a third of this contract's price tag. Now, the reason this is costing a lot more than the figures available on the Internet for a Falcon Heavy launch is because SpaceX are actually having to modify the rocket to be able to carry the power and propulsion element, PPE for short, and the Habitation and Logistics Act post, which is Halo for short, that are being launched on the mission. Just in case you don't know what the PPE and Halo are, these are the two sections docked together. It is essentially a box with a cylinder, with two giant solar panels, and an absolute ton of antennas. If some of the doubters were still doubting that NASA going with these commercial partners wasn't going to end well, well, with just SpaceX alone, they are now entrusting them with half of their space station, which is needed for Artemis, getting people from their space station to the moon with Runa Starship, which is also needed for Artemis, and they're using Dragon XL atop a Falcon Heavy to deliver cargo to Gateway. Would you guessed it, it's also needed for the Artemis program to work out a mission. You know, is SNS now just going to be used for humans? Excellent question to ask, Ryan. A bit of a one-two punch seems to be forming up in the world of the space launch system that may end up seeing it only flying meat. Europa Clipper is NASA's upcoming mission to the watery Jovian moon that may be one of the best places as a safe harbor for life in our solar system. For the entirety of its existence, Europa Clipper has been budgetarily assigned the space launch system as its vehicle, providing a direct ascent trajectory from Earth to Jupiter in three years, but at the expense of flying on SLS, which is not cheap, nor a frequent flyer with a projected maximum rate of two launches per year. And that is written literally into NASA's budget. Europa Clipper has to launch on a space launch system rocket. And budget in the United States is law, so NASA is beholden to it. They have to follow that. And that can change. And guess what? It did. In the fiscal year 2021 budget, there's a little bit of leeway now. Enacted in December, the new funding bill will, for the first time, allow NASA to seriously look at alternatives for the use of the space launch system as Europa Clipper's set in stone launch vehicle. And NASA took the appropriations and ran with it. NASA did hold an ace in the hole by asking the Europa Clipper team to develop the spacecraft with an ability to launch on SLS or a commercial launch vehicle. But building a spacecraft capable of handling two completely different launch environments is incredibly expensive. You'll often see it argued in the comments section that a spacecraft should just be pulled off of, say, the space launch system and stuck atop a Falcon 9 or an Atlas 5. And that's not how engineering works, unfortunately. In this case, designing for two completely different vehicles, it's almost like designing two completely different spacecraft. It's a bit of a drag on your budget. And in an expensive project like Europa Clipper, that's not a very good thing. And it is not great in the long run for you actually being able to sustain your mission. But building for two launch vehicles, that is not the only problem Europa Clipper has had. The space launch system, it uses two massive solid rocket boosters during the opening stages of Ascent that are derived from the Space Shuttle's solid rocket boosters. And if you've ever watched cockpit footage from a shuttle launch, you'll know when the boosters light, such as now. And it's not a smooth ride whatsoever. Look at all that shaking that's happening there. Now, that shaking actually caused compatibility issues with the design of Europa Clipper. And those were publicly disclosed last year. So you can imagine Europa Clipper riding on an SLS, shaking the pieces. Not a good thing to happen. But the fiscal year 2021 appropriations bill gave NASA full discretion to see if a commercial launcher could be a viable option for Europa Clipper. And NASA wasted no time in doing so. At the end of January, a mere timeframe of several weeks later, NASA issued a solicitation for commercial launch services for Europa Clipper. That is a contractual equivalent of a breakup letter with SLS as the launch vehicle. And as you can imagine, all eyes are on Falcon Heavy for that bid. And that's mostly because Falcon Heavy is likely to be the only certified launch vehicle at the time that the bid will be occurring. This is pure speculation on my part, but I think we're likely going to see a fully expendable Falcon Heavy to get the maximum amount of lift and throw capability. And in addition, some form of a solid third stage to give Europa Clipper some extra kick. Now, with the space launch systems lift and throw capability, Europa Clipper would have done that direct ascent to Jupiter, taking just a handful of years to get there. But with a less powerful vehicle like Falcon Heavy, even with a solid third stage, it's going to take a trip through the inner solar system on a mega trajectory. And that is using two gravitational assists, one at Earth and another at Mars, to gain the energy to reach a trajectory to intercept the Jovian system. The launch of Europa Clipper is currently scheduled now for some time around October of 2024, with a arrival at Jupiter and Europa occurring in 2030. Now, yes, that six years of operation from Earth to the Jovian system does add on some budgetary need for the operations of Europa Clipper, but it is a drop in the bucket when you look at the cost savings by moving away from the space launch system and going to a commercial launcher, which I kid you not, NASA has said in their own analysis that it would save $1.5 billion. Billion with a B saved just because they're not going to fly on the space launch system. That is absurd to think about that. Now, in addition, NASA is going to want all of the space launch system rockets that they can have because at a flight rate of about two per year, that's not exactly going to be helpful for the Artemis program. So now that they're not going to be sticking Europa Clipper on top of a space launch system rocket, well, they've got that extra rocket that they need for 2024, at least some time around them. Now, that second part of that one-two punch that's happening to the space launch system this week is that one of its biggest advocates is calling it a career and retiring. Senator Richard Shelby has been involved in the Congress of the United States since 1978, where he originally served four two-year terms as a member of the United States House of Representatives for his district in Alabama. And in 1986, he campaigned and successfully won one of the two Senate seats for Alabama and has stayed since. With Marshall Space Flight Center in his home state, Senator Shelby was a steadfast advocate for a multitude of NASA programs, including the space launch system. And he was also a noted critic of NASA's commercial cargo and commercial crew programs. Election for his seat will occur in 2022. So even with one of its biggest advocates leaving the room, the space launch system is going to continue on and be a part of NASA's Artemis program. Speaking of that, NASA has said that they are now getting ready to perform their second green run test of the Artemis 1 core stage before the end of February. So keep your eyes open for that. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing those four RS-25s light up again. Tasty, tasty, tasty mock diamonds. Now, I want to switch gears a little bit here, because I want to talk about a place that the space launch system may actually send a payload to one day, Mars, because we had two arrivals this week and two new countries joining the Mars Club. On February 9th, the United Arab Emirates was the first to arrive with their orbiter mission, Hope. Hope is now in a preliminary orbit which will be changed to the final planned science orbit, with a peri-arean of 20,000 kilometers and an apo-arean of 43,000 kilometers. If that orbit sounds high to you, it's because it is. Other missions like NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter or ESA's Trace Gas Orbiter are somewhere in the order of 300 to 400 kilometers above the surface. But the United Arab Emirates Hope is doing something that no mission has actually looked at as a whole at Mars before. Weather. Yes, the atmospheric conditions of Mars have been studied from low altitude orbits, but that's a dataset that explains what's occurring in a small area during a brief amount of time. Hope, at its orbital altitude, will be looking at Mars as a whole with its three instruments, a multi-band high-resolution camera called the Emirates Exploration Imager that can measure the quantity and types of water, ice, dust and gases in the atmosphere of Mars, the Emirates Infrared Spectrometer which will look at the lower and middle atmosphere of Mars and the Emirates Mars Ultraviolet Spectrometer which will examine the upper atmosphere. Hope has rightfully been described as a weather satellite for Mars because that's the mission goal. Study the seasonal weather and climactic changes on Mars, which amazingly, in multiple decades of exploration, no one has done. The United Arab Emirates is now the fifth member of the Mars Club. So congratulations to them and everyone at the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center. It's so exciting to have hope and orbit and it's going to be gathering that data of the weather and it's going to tell us what it's like of Mars. It's just I'm very excited to see that dataset once it starts coming down. And another thing to be excited about was that the next day, the very next day, like excitement just like went up and it stayed there, China attempted to become the sixth member of the Mars Club. Tiananmen 1 is an operation that I would consider a bit of a super mission. We've got an orbiter that has a high resolution imager for surface studies in determining the composition of Mars' surface atmosphere and radar to hunt for subsurface ice, a system to probe the ionosphere and sweeping through Mars' magnetic field. If that wasn't enough for you, it also has a 240 kilogram rover, which includes a suite of instruments such as a multitude of cameras, ground penetrating radar and a weather station. And it'll land sometime in the May to June timeframe after its proposed landing site has been mapped by that high resolution imager. Tiananmen 1 did perform its Mars orbit insertion burn successfully on February 10th and starting the process of moving itself into its proper science orbit. But there was something that did occur during its Mars orbit insertion burn that I can't recall having never seen before. These are still images from Tiananmen 1 that have been strung together to make a video which has been quite sped up but you get the idea as to what's happening. I legitimately don't remember ever seeing imagery taken during a vehicle's orbit insertion burn around a planet. This is fascinating to see these details like the thin atmosphere of Mars, Mars' surface and then my favorite little bit Tiananmen 1 vibrating as its engine begins the Mars orbit insertion burn.  So China is now the sixth member of the Mars Club. Congratulations to them and good, good luck on landing that rover on the surface of Mars. I really hope that they make it because that would be so cool to have two separate rovers from two different countries on the same planet at the same time. That would be very, very awesome and this is so exciting to be here as we're exploring Mars. And we got one more, we got one more mission to Mars left to arrive. NASA's Perseverance rover will be going through the entry descent landing seven minutes of terror at around 2030 universal time on February 18th. Using the right kind of crazy descent stage with that sky crane landing technique, I'll certainly be clutching my pearls until touchdown is confirmed. We'll be including a link to NASA's webcast in our description down below so that way you can get yourself set up and ready to watch that when it goes live at 1915 coordinated universal time on February 18th this Thursday. Now you're also going to want to make sure to have your notifications on for our videos here tomorrow because we have a tomorrow special coming out very shortly after the landing of Perseverance that we'll be talking about the difficulty, the absolute absurdity of attempting to land something on Mars and you are most certainly not going to want to miss out on watching that. So now what we're going to do, let's pop on back over to low earth orbit and Ryan tell us a little bit something about some rides happening there aren't you? It turns out that NASA has been slightly concerned about keeping Americans on the international space station recently which I find confusing considering that SpaceX have already launched humans and Boeing are going in for another test flight of the Starliner with the hope of launching humans in September so why on earth would they be interested in purchasing another Soyuz seat worth 86 million dollars when SpaceX can do that for just 50 heck only for four million more dollars because you could launch a Falcon Heavy. Well here's the catch, NASA aren't actually going to be purchasing the Soyuz seat instead they're going to be giving Roscosmos a quote in-kind service or services in exchange for one mission. NASA hasn't said what these in-kind services would be although the synopsis where all of this data comes from is called international space station seat exchange. You can do the maths in your head. And just quickly before we get into some space traffic off the back of a successful flight test to space Virgin orbit have said that they are interested in moving into other markets within the space industry this could be related to their investment in the communication satellite constellation developer Sky and Space Global as Richard Branson has said that Virgin orbit could help other companies get their projects off of the ground maybe take a stake in the company and then get their satellites to orbit. Getting into some launches now then starting off with this the launch of the fifth Lotus S1 satellite atop this Soyuz 2.1B rocket. Lifting off at 2045 UTC on February 2nd out of the Pesitz Cosmodrome the satellite is now on trajectory to reach its 900 kilometer Sun Synchronous orbit. Lifting out of Slick 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station the B1060 booster launched 60 styling satellites and by doing so it set the new world record for the shortest booster recovery time ever at just 27 days between this launch and its previous the launch of Turks at 5a earlier in the year skimming off the previous 38 day record by nearly two whole weeks another successful landing on of course I still love you followed the launch setting it's another record this 24th consecutive landing of a Falcon 9 although only one faring half was recovered after being fished out of the ocean the other one sadly was destroyed. I don't think they were trying to recover both farings but don't quote me on that as it hasn't been confirmed. For the final launch of the week we had this Longmarch 3BE taking TJSW6 the space at 1536 also on February 4th. Taking to the skies out of LC3 at the Zhichang Satellite Launch Center in China the satellite is currently heading for a geostationary orbit around the earth. Right then this week's launch is covered let's look at some upcoming ones. And here is your space weather with Dr. Tamara Fascoe. Space weather this week is definitely picking up a bit as we take a look at our frontside sun you can see the two dark coronal holes one in the south and one in the north those are going to be rotating in through the earth strike zone here in about three or four days and they will be sending us some fast solar wind so we can get some activity from that but wait there's more take a look just above that southern coronal hole and you can see a huge snake-like filament and it looks like it wants to erupt it's just below that active region and it's sandwiched in these really unstable regions so we're kind of waiting on pins and needles because if it erupts it definitely will give us a solar storm but wait there's more if you take a look to the west of the the coronal hole in the south you'll see a puff that is actually a launch from the solar storm it looks like this particular solar storm is going to go west of earth but it might just graze us just a little bit and it's going to come right around the time that we're getting at fast solar wind so we could get multiple bump ups to the activity that we're expecting and it could bring us some more aurora and now for your martian minute we are less than a week away from the historic landing of the mars 2020 mission with perseverance rover and ingenuity helicopter in jezero crater so it's time of course to check the weather and believe it or not we actually did have the sun launch a solar storm toward mars about a week ago and as we take a look at our solar storm prediction model enlil this is nasa's version of the model you're looking down at the sun from the north pole you can see that solar storm launching toward mars and mars is that red circle down there but it looks like the storm actually passed to the east of mars and it maybe grazed the planet just a little bit but no big deal and since then we've been in the clear there've been no solar storms which means the space weather is all clear for the entry and descent of mars 2020 now let's take a look at the terrestrial weather on mars we know that we've had dust ups recently because we are just beginning to move out of winter in the northern hemisphere where jezero crater is and as we take a look at the thymus dust maps we do see a little bit of a dust up in and around is dis basin but it looks like it's just to the west of cirrus major where jezero crater is and it's pretty localized and this is the map that we've had since about the tenth so it's about the most recent version that we have and so it looks like this is going to be a small dust up it doesn't look like it's going to get any bigger and that's a beautiful sight because that means that everything once again is in the green for the landing both space weather and terrestrial weather are going to give mars 2020 the all clear so we're super excited to get everything down on the ground and start doing our new mission and then on top of that as we take a look at the temperatures well we're going to have to go to curiosity rover who's sitting just south of the equator and in the southern hemisphere where curiosity is in gale crater it's just becoming to be a bit a little bit of autumn and you're beginning to feel a chill in the air and a matter of fact the high at gale crater is a minus six celsius with a minus 74 as it's low for more details on this week's space weather including whether or not those solar storms and that fast solar wind is going to affect you come check out my channel or see me at space weather woman dot com just before this episode of the show closes i want to give a big thank you to all of our citizens at tomorrow the escape velocity orbital sub orbital and ground support citizens all contribute to the show and so can you at youtube.com forward slash tmro for just as little as one dollar a month or 72 p at current exchange rates for my fellow brits well that's it for this edition of tomorrow news make sure to stick around for next week's episode as i'm predicting it will be just as exciting if not more than this one but for the time being stay safe and goodbye utc on february the second out of the prezits out of the prezitesk prezitsk cosmic out of the prezitsk because it is i have to wait for the plane anyhow waiting on planes waiting on planes waiting on some planes waiting on planes waiting on planes waiting on the planes


Good evening and welcome to the community meeting for Lobo channel at 28th street and to cater Avenue channel improvements project. It's October 7th, 2021, and this is this meeting will be recorded. And posted on the city's website that the address is shown below. It's also will be posted to the city's YouTube channel. Later after this meeting, my name's Michael. Well, Bob, I'm the project manager in the stormwater capital delivery office from city of Port Worth. Our project engineer on this project is Matthew Busby. He's with Lockwood, Andrews and new num. Also with us tonight is Myra. She is the council aid for council member flores. He couldn't be with us tonight. But I can tell you that we greatly appreciate his support of this project. He's been a great friend and supporter of the stormwater. Office of the city for work and all of the improvements that we're we're working on and we greatly appreciate his his support. And are happy to have my right here tonight. Hello, good evening. I just want to thank you for presenting and I want to thank Jeffrey for getting this organized for the community and we'll proceed with your presentation. Great. Thank you very much. I'm really happy to have you here tonight and tell council member flores. We, we do appreciate him as his support. As I move through this project tonight, if you have questions, you're welcome to put them in the chat window or at the end of the presentation. I'll be happy to open the floor to questions if there are any as we get to the end of the project. I'm going to give you a little bit of background on the project and then we'll talk about the project scope and I've got some schedule information and we'll wrap it up with some questions tonight. So starting with a little bit of the background on the project. This project is one of several projects that are have occurred and will continue to occur along the channel corridor. That corridor runs from the West fork of the Trinity River at the south end and the upper end of the channel project is almost up near Meacham airport runs through the Diamond Hill community across Long Avenue. And that extends down to this area at 28th street. We've had several improvements over the years, one of which is the 28th street crossing. We've, we've increased the culverts culverts at that location at the brand Dewy street crossing to the north. And most recently, we completed Brennan street to the south. All of those culvert improvements were necessary to provide capacity for the channel as we enter into this next phase of widening the channel and creating a greater capacity to convey floodwater. Which is the primary reason for this project is, is to prevent over topping at 28th street and some of the flooding that occurs under the railroad tracks. So this project is located on 28th street right at the Decatur Avenue intersection. We don't anticipate really getting into the, into the street or pavement or traffic at all. This will mostly be a channel widening project and an excavation at that location. So just a couple other background photos that I thought were pretty important to include. And if you live in the area, you certainly know what happens in large storm events at the railroad crossing. They're just to the west of Decatur Avenue floodwaters do tend to, to occur at that location. This project will, will be one of two things that are going to help alleviate that flooding. This project will provide additional capacity in the channel. The second part of that is a. Text stop project that's currently under design independent of this project, but, but that text stop project will increase storm drain capacity at this intersection and make some improvements to the roadway. So the two projects combined will greatly reduce the potential for flooding at that location. The other picture is just another picture along the channel. The channel is just to the left of the fence that you see in the picture. And at times floodwaters do flow through that, through that area you can see on the fence the debris and then things have been caught over the years with flooding in this area. So to address project scope. One of the first things I want to point out is that the existing culvert crossing at 28th street is going to remain. We're not going to change it or remove it. It'll, it'll stay mostly untouched. You can also see in this picture the existing channel, excuse me, the existing channel alignment. In the black line that kind of meanders from the right side of the screen down to the left side of the screen. That's the existing channel as it is today. And that in that undersized channel is what we are planning to address in this project. So the next slide shows a schematic layout of what improvements will occur in this location. Mostly we're realigning the channel, lowering the bottom of the channel, and then we've got some improvements plan that will help stabilize the channel bottom. We also have a core permit, US Army Corps of Engineers permit. It's an individual permit that will address the restoration of landscaping and environmental features along the project. And, and ultimately, it'll be very similar to the project that we did at Britain Street himself. So in this picture, you'll notice a kind of a gray, wide gray line that meanders through from the right to the left. That is the, is the proposed channel bottom. It'll be a pilot channel that will convey low flows. The little blue features that you see periodically along the channel are armoring that will prevent the channel from moving, kind of keep, maintain the alignment that we're establishing. And those will also provide for riffle pools and a little bit of turbulence in the flow that helps oxygenate the water and aids and water quality ultimately. The green areas that you see on the, on both sides of the channel are riparian buffer zones, basically planting zones that will occur in the, in the flood, the floodway area of the channel. Those are intended to help stabilize the channel bottom and, and offer some environmental benefits through, through catching silken debris. And then, as you move out away from the green area on the bottom of the page or the east side of the channel, you'll notice a lot of what look like polka dots. And those are our trees and additional riparian plantings that are intended to meet the requirements of the US Army Corps of Engineer Permit. And then on the opposite side of the channel, the west side, which will be at the top of the screen, there are fewer polka dots. That area is intended to be more of a urban, park-like setting, maybe a little fewer trees and a little more open along that area. That's part of the core mitigation area. So, so the plantings will likely be a little bit different. At the right side of the screen, you'll see a big kind of box that has two blue ovals in it. Those are stilling basins or, or sedimentation basins. As the flow enters this area from the, from the north or off the right side of the screen, it will cascade down these two pools, one, the one on the right is at a higher elevation than the one on the left. So the water can, can spill over and cascade down into the channel. And that will help with reducing velocities and reducing the potential for erosion and scouring in the channel over time. And, and those are necessary until a future project comes along to, to continue this channel section further north. But that'll be a, this is a phased approach to pick single about channels. So there'll be many projects as we move forward in the future. This next image is, is a section through the channel. If you were standing in the channel bottom, this is kind of what it would look like. You see right in the center, that bank full section or the pilot channel section where, where most of the low flows will occur. And then you see the floodplain bench or riparian buffers that extend out on each side. That's a little bit of a, of a low flat area with plantings that are more native or conducive to, to that zone of the channel. And then as, as you extend up the banks on the right side of the screen represents that core mitigation area. It's an enhanced zone with, with more trees and shrub like plantings that are, are specified in the US core permit. On the left side of the screen, you see the, the urban landscaping area. That area is intended to be a little bit more open fewer trees and, and maybe a little more manicured than the, than the right side of the channel. But that's a, that's a typical channel section through, through the work that we're doing. One additional feature that we're, that we included in the project from a planning perspective is a trail extension. And I'm happy to, to report that we've partnered with the park and recreation department and secured funding. So we've been able to actually include this trail in the project. It'll be a nice amenity that will connect the text rail station that's there at the corner of Northeast 28th and Decatur. It'll connect that, that station through Trail Drivers Park and South past Brennan and to the, to the neighborhood there south of Trail Drivers Park. So this will be a great extension to continue that trail theme in this part of the, in this part of the city. So the last slide I have is kind of an overview or a recap of what we've talked about. Of course, this, this is a roadway over topping project mitigation project. Intended to reduce the potential for flooding at 28th Street and provide for greater conveyance of flood water. And as I mentioned, the tech stop project that's, that's being designed now will continue to address flooding under the railroad and the railroad underpass there to the, to the west and continue to make that area safer area for pedestrians and for traffic. This project's also also will restore floodplain function from a, from a natural standpoint and the environmental standpoint. It'll, it'll reduce maintenance costs as well with the addition of features that will help prevent sedimentation and erosion and the channel should help reduce further maintenance costs. In terms of schedule. I'm, I'm really happy to announce that we're ahead of schedule. The folks at Lockwood Enders and new number design engineers done a great job of getting this project designed and helping move it along. So, while we originally planned to be complete with our design in the spring of 2022, we're actually looking to complete it in the next month or so. This, this project meeting was designated to be the 60% plan review meeting, but we're actually at 90%. So they've moved quite rapidly. All of that should get us started in construction about about 6 months to a year before we initially thought we would start construction. So that's, that's good news for us and a good way to get another project under our belt. This project is funded through bonds. So the, the estimated cost is 5.2 million for the total project design and construction and everything included. So we're really happy to have this one close to the being on the ground and looking forward to reducing the flooding and issues that have occurred in the past at 28th Street. And with all of that said, I have gotten to the end of my presentation and I'd love to open the floor to questions. Again, my name is Michael. Well, bomb my telephone numbers, 8173 927343 email address is Michael got well bomb. At Fort Worth, Texas dot gov. Well, bomb spell W. L. L. B. A. U. M. And you can also find information about this project on the city's website. Easiest way to do that is to go to the city's website and type lebo channel in the search bar on the website. And that'll take you right to this project and some other information about the channel. So with that said, are there any questions this evening? I don't see anything in the chat window. So I want to thank everyone for participating tonight. It looks like we've we've gotten. Oh, I do have a thank you. You're welcome. I'm really happy to be able to present this and this project spend one that I've been involved with for quite a number of years. So it's I'm looking forward to getting this built. This video will be posted on the city's website. So if, if, if you know anybody that wasn't able to attend, please let them know they can go download this video and see what we're doing. Thank you again for attending. And with that, I'll say good night. I thank you. You're welcome.


Hello and welcome to this session in which you would look at an exercise or a CPA simulation that shows us how to compute gross profit percentage and through the gross profit percentage we will be able to estimate ending inventory and cost of goods sold in case we lost inventory, in case of fire, theft, natural disaster or similar activities. So let's go ahead and get started. Adam requires an estimate of the cost of goods sold lost by a fire on March 12th. So something happened at the warehouse, they lost some inventory. So here's what we know. We know that merchandise inventory on hand as of January 1st was 40,000. How do we know this? Well, we can look at last year's record and we know that ending inventory was 40, therefore the beginning inventory must be 40,000. So this number is easy to get, it's from the accounting record. Purchases since January 1st were 75,000. Well, since January 1st, we purchased 75,000 worth of inventory. Well, that's easy. That's also from the accounting record. So we're going to add this to our beginning inventory. Freight in worth 3,000. Freight in is basically cost of transportation for what you purchase. So if you purchase 75,000, it costs you an additional 3,000 to ship it. Guess what? Then you add the 3,000 to that. So the freight in remember is added because think about it. If you purchase something from Amazon and they shipped it, well, you're going to pay for the shipping cost. The shipping cost gets added to the cost of the product itself. Now, purchase returns and allowances. Well, you returned what they gave you allowances of $2,000. Well, guess what? You're going to have to deduct this. Why do you have to deduct this? Because if you return, remember, return is the opposite of the purchase. Therefore, you deduct purchase returns and allowances. And basically what we are told, what we are giving here is beginning inventory plus net purchases. And the reason I say net purchases because you purchase 75,000, you add to it freight, you deduct from it purchase returns and allowances. If you are giving discount, also you will deduct the discount. That's why I say net purchases. When we have this formula, those two numbers, beginning inventory plus net purchases, that's going to give us something good, something called goods available or merchandise available for sale at cost. And if we do so, we come up with a number of 116,000. Now, that's fine. But what does that mean if it's 116,000? How is that going to help us figure out how much of the inventory lost in the fire, how much of the inventory we still have? Now, the good news, we know we still have 11,000. Goods costing 11,000 were left undamaged. Now, of this 116,000, some of it is sold, it's going to be cost of goods sold, and some of it was lost in the fire. What else do we know? We know that sales are made at 33 and one-third percent above cost, and sales happen to total 90,000. Again, we know the sales from the sales record. Goods costing 11,000, we already notice. Now, what we need to do is to find out what was our cost of goods sold? How do we find out our cost of goods sold? This is where we use the gross profit percentage to figure out our cost of goods sold. Before we compute cost of goods sold, most likely you are an accounting student or a CPA candidate, and that's why you are watching. That's great. Please visit my website farhatlectures.com for additional resources, whether you are a CPA candidate using any of these CPA review courses or any other CPA review course, or you are taking your accounting course. I provide you with additional help, lectures, PowerPoint slides, multiple choice, true, false, exercises. My courses are aligned with your college courses and breaking down by chapters and topic. My CPA review course is aligned with your Roger, Becker, Wiley, Gleam, Myles. So it's very easy to go back and forth between my material and your CPA review course. If you have not connected with me on LinkedIn, please do so. Take a look at my LinkedIn recommendation. Like this recording. If it's helping you, it will help other people connect with me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit. And recently I started a CPA exam support group on GroupMe. Please join us. Now we have to figure out our gross profit percentage. Well, what do we know? We know that this company sells, Adam company, sales are made at 33.3% above cost. So let's assume cost is a dollar. What is the sales? Well, they're going to add to the cost 0.3333. So cost is a dollar. This is the cost plus the profit equal to the sales. So sales is 1.3333. Hopefully you can see this. Now what is the gross profit percentage? Well, we know that profit, which is if we take sales 1.3333 minus cost of a dollar, give us gross profit percentage, gross profit, gross profit, not gross profit percentage, gross profit of 0.3333. Now what we do is we take 0.3333 divided by 1.3333 and this is rounding. And if you round it, it's going to come up to 25%. So what we did is we figure out gross profit percentage. Be careful. What you are told here is 33% above cost. You are not giving the gross profit percentage at 33.33%. So you have to kind of think backward. If sales are 0.3333 above cost, assuming cost a dollar, add to it the profit of 0.3333 gives you sales. Then you figure out what's the gross profit divided by sales because gross profit percentage is gross profit divided by sales. You come up with 25%. And this is the formula for the gross profit percentage, which is 25%. Now if we know the profit is 25%, we know that the profit is 25%. Therefore what's left, if the profit is 25%, it means the cost is 75% of sales. We know sales is 90,000 multiplied by 75%, cost of goods sold for our sales was 67,500. Well now we're figuring out where that 116 is going. 67,500 is cost of goods sold. We know 11,000 is ending inventory, which is undamaged property. So cost of goods sold is 67,500. Ending inventory in total should have been 48,500. Well, undamaged goods is 11,000. Therefore the amount that's lost in the fire, the amount that's lost in the fire is 37,500. Now let's assume you are giving gross profit as 33.33. So that's why you have to be very careful. If you are giving gross profit, not 33 above cost, you are giving the gross profit of 33.33. Here's what you do then. You will take the 90,000 of sales times 66.67. Why 66.67? Well, if you are making a dollar in sales, you are told 33.33 is profit. What's left is 0.6667 as cost of goods sold percentage. So your cost of goods sold will be 0.6030. So basically now $60,000 and not $30,000 and $3.00. You will go with $60,000 and $3.00. Then what you have to do, the 116 will be split between this amount ending undamaged goods and what's left is ending inventory, which is, I'm sorry, part of it will be $60,000, $3.00, $11,000 and ending inventory and what's left will be the estimated fire loss. So again, this is a great exercise because it shows you how to go through the cost of goods sold formula. You need to have a good understanding of cost of goods sold. Traditionally, it's beginning inventory plus purchases equal to goods available for sale, minus ending will give you cost of goods sold. This is the traditional one. Now we're manipulating this basically working backward and this is why we have to know it. If you have any questions, any comments, please let me know. Study hard. Good luck. Stay safe and subscribe. Don't sure change yourself.


Welcome back to a new school year! This month's webinar is going to be about the digital resources available to you from ESU-8. These are not new resources but they have some new features and so I want to show those to you now. You can access these resources from the ESU-8 homepage just www.esu8.org. We're going to scroll down underneath the picture of our building to the DL and media resources. We're going to start by going to snap. If you do not know your username and password, check with your local librarian or you can call the ESU here. When you're in snap, if you search right here from the first search bar, you will be searching all of these products along with any tangible items we would have in our media center. But I went to go into two specific products today so we're going to go right into Learn360. Learn360 is our video on demand or video streaming service that we provide to our schools. They have just recently updated their website and changed the look of things. You'll see this is new and if you know you're looking for a video, I would start there. They have some interactive, some printables, audio files only, and maps and flags. So I can go ahead and search right here if I'm looking for a topic. Alright, here is a 48-minute video on the moon. So I'm going to look at that one. What I wanted to show you, one of the features they have, is this program is broken into segments. I don't have to look through the whole 48 or show the whole 48. I can just choose a segment to show. Also, I can create my own custom segments using this scissors here and I can assign this video to my students through Google Classroom if I use that and working on also getting Canvas link up here too. But I have got this working that your students, if they're signed into your Google Classroom, they should not have to sign into Snap or Learn360. They should be able to access the videos. So I could just click here and assign it to one of my classes in Google Classroom, providing I'm logged in. Great features there. I also want to show you on the advanced search. Looks a little bit different. It's pretty well cleaned up. So you just have to click to continue finding what you're looking for. So I'm looking for videos and if I look over here under all grades they also have a professional development library and so that might be something that we could use ourselves or as administrators might use for their teachers. A lot of great features in Learn360 and I hope that you take advantage and use those videos. The nice thing is there is not the advertisement or the playback or the next video up that you get in YouTube and everything has been vetted for educational purposes. The other feature I want to show you or the other resource is Worldbook. Worldbook has done some updating this summer also. Their early learning, the early world of learning has changed so when you go to it it looks a little bit different. They have taken out all flash so it will work on an iPad. It doesn't have an app. You would have to access it through your browser but you can make it a home screen app from the browser and then it would just be a tap that the students would have to tap on. So the nice thing about the Worldbook early learning, everything is spoken that they hover over and so if I would go to the stories and I push here so it reads to them and it highlights. I like that. I think it highlights too fast but that's not a feature that I can change so it'll read to them. There's activities that go with it, games that go with it. There's nonfiction reading, there's stories under the educator tab or up here for grown-ups. It will give you more information. It'll tell you the skills that each book is working on and those kind of things. A couple other things that they have changed. The ebooks, they have added a greater selection to the ebooks module here and I see that the Spanish modules have been updated too. From what I gather the two Spanish modules are just your student and your advanced Worldbook encyclopedia that can be accessed in Spanish. So those are just a couple of the features that are in our digital resource library. There's all of these others too if you're interested in them. If you have any questions or you would like someone to come out and show your teachers all the ins and outs of these digital resources, please let Molly Ashof know at ESU 8 and we would love to come and get your teachers using this.


What is up you guys, welcome back to another one. If you're new to the channel, I'm Goldpony at the new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube. And today we are in the brand new 2022 Subaru WRX courtesy of Apple Subaru in York PA for more information on their inventory. Please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. And so we're in this one today because it has been completely redesigned for the 2022 model year. And this has been an incredibly fun car for me to test drive in the previous years that I have done this once. So I'm quite excited to see how I think about the new redesign. So having said that, in this video, we will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering wheel, ride quality, sound system, exhaust clip, all that fun stuff. So having said that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and make our way to pricing. And so there will be a few different trim levels for the 2022 WRX. The base WRX starts at $29,605, premium for $32,105 limited, which is the one we're in today, starting at $36,495. And lastly, the GT, starting at $42,395. But regardless of what trim level that you go with, the power plant on this one is going to be the same. Powering the beast is a 2.4 liter turbocharged Subaru boxer engine, putting out 271 horsepower at 5,600 RPM, 258 pound-feet of torque coming in at 2,000 RPM. Power sent to all four wheels through Subaru's legendary symmetrical all-wheel drive system through either a six-speed manual or a CVT, which is actually the one that we have today. But I will say I have driven the six-speed manual and I knew I had a blast with it in the past. So definitely a very nice transmission option for the manual if you wanted to go that route. But overall zero to 60 times should commit at approximately five seconds flat. The MPG number is coming in at 19 in the city in 25 or 26 on the highway, dependent upon which transmission option that you go with. So before we do any kind of fun paddle shifter acceleration test here in our new WRX, I want to mention to you guys the drive modes. It is labeled SI drive and it is on the steering wheel. And through that, you can either put it in intelligent or sport sharp and essentially it's just going to adjust things like the shift points, throttle response and the steering sensitivity slightly as well. So now having got all of that out of the way, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and put the paddle shifters here to the test first and let's see how quickly these paddle shifters are going to react for us here. All right, so before we do this, there is a full manual shift mode. Keep in mind this is a CVT so it's going to be simulated shifting but to simply slide the shifter all the way to the back and to the left there and that's going to give me full control over the shifting. All right, and let's go ahead and give this a shot here. I'm in first simulated gear. Not bad. Wow. That's kind of fun. I got to be honest, even with this being a CVT, the paddle shifters do react insanely quick at least when it comes to simulated shifting but that was kind of fun. I didn't mind that actually. So let's get back full control now to the WRX. Let's give the acceleration here a chance with the WRX having full control and let's see how quickly this thing feels getting up to 60 in five seconds flat. All right you guys, from a standstill in three, two, one, go. Not really any turbo lag, that's nice. This thing's dang quick. Definitely not going to have any issues of marching on to the highway but I think we all know that but yeah, there wasn't really any turbo lag which kind of surprised me because typically with turbo charge engines you get a little bit on it at least. So that wasn't that bad. It definitely a very quick acceleration and I think that it would definitely give the six speed manual a run for its money having said that the six speed is gonna be far more engaging just because you get to row your own gears but still, that was a decent acceleration. I'll just put it that way but anyways, to go along with that acceleration as always, braking is equally important.  In the back 11.4 inch solid rear disc with single piston rear cowpers. As far as the braking feel goes it is definitely on the firmer side of things which I personally appreciate especially in a car like the WRX.  And if you watch any of my other reviews you guys know that I always say whenever there's an adaptive suspension available I always tend to lean towards getting that because it is a very noticeable difference. What it does is essentially monitor each shock absorber individually not only giving you a smoother ride but also tightening up that suspension during heavy cornering really giving you the best of both worlds. And so as far as ride quality goes I will say you do tend to feel a little bit more of the road and typically in vehicles like the WRX that is gonna be the case so you can definitely feel a little bit more at the road, feel a lot of the road imperfections but again, that's to be expected if you're going with the WRX anyways that really shouldn't bother you if I'm being honest but touching that on steering feel honestly it kind of surprised me it's all right, I will say that but I would have expected a little bit heavier of a steering feel for a vehicle like the WRX it's just kind of average for the segment it's definitely not a loose steering feel but it's not a heavy steering feel either so I would, I was kind of expecting with this being the vehicle that it is it to feel like I don't know maybe a Mustang or a Challenger or something like that but wouldn't have minded I guess I'm trying to say wouldn't have minded if they made the steering feel a little bit heavier maybe in the next generation I'll just put it that way but anyways, then touching on cabin noise I'm going 17 miles per hour right now so having said that there's not a heck of a lot of exterior wind noise coming into the cabin so obviously that hasn't been too bad you get a little bit of road noise but there's no wind noise really so I don't mind that touching on visibility I can see 100% perfectly fine out the back I would definitely say one of the better vehicles when it comes to rear visibility so definitely having new issues there but it pretty much rounds out the performance segment of this review guys let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2022 Subaru WRX and so here she is you guys the brand new 2022 completely redesigned WRX and so definitely a very unique look to it and yet it's still recognizable from the previous generation but let's go ahead and start up front on the WRX here matte black front lip and front grille will come standard revised hood scoop you guys could probably tell that feeding air directly to the top it is a top mount intercooler that can be found just within that hood scoop so that is pretty cool to the sides LED headlights do come standard for every single trim level across the board big fan of that it will come with the automatic feature meaning when it starts to get dark at night these headlights will turn on automatically for you there LED daytime running lights also coming standard but not only that automatic high beams actually come standard on every single trim level across the board as well not all manufacturers are doing that right now so I do want to emphasize that LED steering responsive headlights then coming with the limited NGT trims essentially what that is is when you're going around the bend at night those headlights are going to swivel based on the direction of your steering angle better help it illuminating when it's around that bend so it's kind of a safety feature there and then if you were to go with the premium trim level and up you will also get LED fog lights down below then as well but pretty much rounds out the front end of this one let's now go ahead and make our way to the side of the WRX it's up and else since we are around to the side of this one black windows surrounds will come standard matte black side skirts and wheel arches as well coming standard take a look at the side mirrors they are body colored power adjustable side mirrors and then if you were to go with the limited like we have today or the GT trims you will get integrated turd signals within the side mirrors then as well then take a look down at the wheel configuration 17 by eight inch gray aluminum alloys coming with that base trim level then if you were to jump up to the premium or limited you're going to get 18 by 8.5 inch dark gray aluminum alloys and then the GT it's going to be 18 by 8.5 inches once again but this time in a matte gray finish so little differentiation there but pretty much rounds out the side profile here let's now go ahead and make our way to the back and something else since we are around to the back of this one body colored rear spoiler is going to come on the premium trim level and up LED tail lights coming standard and I love the crystal like effect they put so much detail into these rear tail lights it's one of my favorite parts about the exterior design of the WRX it's just how much detail they put into these tail lights specifically so big fan of that matte black rear bumper of course the tying together with the rest of the matte black accents on the exterior here and then down below it all dual exhaust outlets with quad stainless steel tips so having said that I do believe you guys know what we have to do next as always here is that exhaust clip and so now since we are around to the back of this one when it comes to opening that rear trunk it is a manual rear trunk and there is a button to unlock it on the actual key fob itself if you like but once opened up cargo capacity comes in at 12.5 cubic feet if that was not enough space there is a 60-40 split meaning the rear seats do fold down for quite a bit of extra space then if you needed it you will find some cargo lighting in that cargo area of course and if you were to lift up underneath of that cargo floor you will find a tire inflator kit with some in-floor storage actually as well where you could possibly put maybe an ice scraper if you live in Pennsylvania like I do so that is good to be there for you too but anyways let's now go ahead and make our way to the rear legroom that's coming in at 36.5 inches for reference I mean even six feet tall this is how much space I had back there you will actually find dual rear USB charging ports for the premium trim level and up also with that premium trim level and up you're going to get a rear center armrest with cup holders for the rear passengers as well the one thing I wish the WRX did come with because a lot of sedans in this segment are going to get it that is going to be rear ventilation there's no rear air vents in the back so wouldn't have minded if Subaru added that at least to maybe some of the top trim levels that's all I'm saying but so now I'm making our way to the front seats six-way manually adjustable front seats coming with the base and premium eight-way power driver seat for the GT 10-way power driver seat for the limited Recaro performance front seats for the GT trim level only you will get a suede leather combination finish for the limited that we have today I love this combination definitely a big fan of that cloth seating is going to come with the base and premium trim levels and then heated front seats coming with the premium trim level and up having said that as far as seat comfort goes the bolsters on this seats were definitely plenty fine and again I love the suede and leather combination that's my favorite seat configuration so definitely a big fan of that but now let's go ahead and take a look at the steering wheel it is tilt and telescoping it is leather wrapped it does come actually with a flat bottom as well which is pretty cool then make our way to the startup let me start by showing you guys the key here essentially all of your buttons are on one side got lock on lock and that button to unlock the rear trunk there as well but essentially it is all keyless entry with a push button start if you were to go with the premium trim level and up so having said that all I'm going to do here simply put my foot on the brake and press that engine start button and so once started up when it comes to the gauge cluster tachometers all the way to your left speedometers to your right and there is a digital display front and center and that is completely customizable by using the steering wheel it comes out to controls of course giving you things like your outside temperature got your SI drive information can be found up there as well how many miles you have left until you hit empty trip B trip B the list goes on so pretty much everything you possibly want on the digital portion of the gauges having said that wouldn't have minded if they added a full digital gauge cluster up there as many other manufacturers are doing right now but now let's go ahead and make our way to overall interior quality a power moonroof coming with a limited NGT and that power moonroof by the way is optional on the premium if you wanted to go that route automatic climate control coming with the base but then dual zoom climate control coming with the premium trim level and up you will find red contrast stitching essentially everywhere from just above the passenger side glove box to the doors like I said pretty much everywhere so that's pretty cool just in front of the shifter you're going to find a little bit of rubberized storage you got dual USB charging ports an auxiliary port and a 12 volt power outlet up there as well just behind that you will find dual cup holders and there is a decent amount of storage within the center armrest as well but overall I like the interior quality it's definitely more practical more to the point and kind of as I expected it to be in the WRX then make our way to the infotainment screen seven inch color touch screen display is going to come with the base trim level however if you were to go with the premium trim level and up you're going to get that 11.6 inch color touch screen display that's going to come with Bluetooth and audio streaming Android Auto Apple CarPlay factory navigation system is going to come with a limited NGT trim levels climate control settings can be found up there as well of course and your radio information and so when it comes to the sound systems the base and premium trims are going to give you six speakers however if you were to go with the limited or GT you will get an 11 speaker Harman Kardon sound system with 504 watts so having said that that is the one we have today so what do you guys say let's go ahead and turn on the radio see what we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of this one Harman Kardon sound system is definitely where it's at good bit of bass plenty of clarity honestly for the size of this vehicle that sound system is perfect for the WRX but anyways the last thing I want to mention to you guys on that infotainment screen is when you do put the WRX in reverse you will find a rear view camera coming standard across the board letting you know who or what is behind you which is always is going to lead us into safety and so to start IIHS top safety pick for the 2021 model year I would imagine it would be the same if not better just because typically with newer generations of vehicles they only get better when it comes to safety at least but do want to mention that for the 2021 model year front side side carrying airbags do come standard driver's knee airbag up front as well in the back you're going to have latch aka lower anchors and tethers for children for the rear car seats rear child door locks tire pressure monitoring system but then if you were to go with the premium trim level and up that's going to add automatic collision notification SOS emergency assistance and enhanced road sign assistance then as well then if you were to go with the limited or GT trims you're going to get blind spot detection with lane change assist and rear cross traffic alert then if you were to go with the GT trim level only you're going to get reverse automatic braking and Subaru iSight which is going to include adaptive cruise control with lane centering pre-collision braking lane departure and sway warning and lane keep assist then as well so overall what it comes to my final thoughts is definitely a very quick car and I got to say even with the CVT transmission it's an extremely quick car without a doubt I'll definitely say that legendary Subaru symmetrical all-wheel drive system as well so very easily can be driven in the dirt or the snow because that is what this all-wheel drive system essentially was built for I do like the large touchscreen display I think that is pretty cool as well you got great resale value I think everyone knows that at this point Subaru has a great resale value but specifically the WRXs are absolutely amazing when it comes to that as far as room for improvement goes like I mentioned to you guys the digital gauge cluster would be super nice it is a little bit more of a rougher ride I will say that as well I knew Subaru claimed that they improved upon that a little bit and maybe they did but it is still definitely it rides more on the rougher side without a doubt ambient lighting would definitely be nice in this thing as well and there is no rear ventilation available and so but that is about it for this one you guys let me know what you think of the WRX in the comments section below always love reading your comments feel free to follow me on social media if you want to see
