o go to Scott team he bought straight up 87 out of 99 number 27 on that Bowman Scouts top 100 JD Martinez game tying single is listed on the Bowman spreadsheet have you checked like CardboardConnection.com do they have a hidden gems section no come on Trace he's acting like his brother in game 6 bad bad week for the Thompson here's Max Wagner or Wagner to 75 Yellow Lunar for the O's that's going to be for Aaron Billingsley Trace Thompson just got picked off on first his brother Clay of course didn't really show up in game 6 for the Warriors damn and Hayward strikes out come on alright keep going I guess who was the hit oh it was Nolan Gorman Scott looked it up he said it was about $250 plus and here's Kyle Harrison for Scott and the Giants Trace Thompson in a 3 home run game like a month ago or so and I think he's only had like one hit out of like the last 40-50 at that something crazy like that he's not he's been struggling big time not sure how long the Dodgers are going to keep him around kind of I mean as Gabriel Moreno to 150 90 out of 150 Atomic for Jeremy and the Diamondbacks it's kind of weird kind of rough for I feel for Trace Thompson because I feel like he's always he's like kind of there here's Logan Wagner 175 for the Dodgers Marcus Set like teams keep picking him up because like there's still like potential there he'll rattle off a string of great games or something like that and then and then he'll just go frozen it'll be like ice cold for a while and then it gets released or something and some other team picks him up and he goes on a week or two run or something something like that so it's kind of this is the second sin with the Dodgers and we've got Jace Bowen 364 out of 499 that's Port with the Pittsburgh Pirates the spotty one in the filler Chris Jasper in the background Bigford still in the game huh there's Juan Alonzo 79 out of 150 blue shimmer alright let's see if we can Scott let's see if we can find hidden gems on the back no it's not on the back of the box maybe on the pack no pack doesn't have odds either box doesn't you box usually has odds but not on here you don't see a source but someone on eBay says a hidden gem listed at one out of every 175,000 packs or boxes usually those if I pack right I can't believe cardboardconnection.com doesn't have those have those listed that's really surprising to me yeah it's by per pack right what about does uh I'm looking at on the blowout cards forum 2023 tops hidden gems oh wait that's something else can I go see the post on that continue reading I don't know there's a thread there I guess if you want to go through go do a google search and you can kind of do your research yeah apparently the hidden gems is really a hidden gem there's a mystery a little bit of a mystery there that we're uncovering Vickford got two more two men on base again two outs men on first and second I wonder what Vickford's whip is I think it's two final box good luck everybody what a catch is that Vargas that line drive almost took off Bigford's head and gets right into the glove of Miguel Vargas let's see if the daughters can walk it off we got a Brock Jones do do do do do do do Brock Lobster do do do do do 120 out of 150 that's for the raise Mark Drew Jones paper there's Nolan Gorm to 175 pink paper for Jeremy Port and the Cardinals and there's Juan Alonzo for the Dodgers Mark Bassett with the Dodgers see if the Dodgers can walk it off here we got Justin Crawford purple chrome to 250 that's for Scott and the Phillies and a paper this is on you Miguel Vargas this could be a nice little walk off moment good for the hobby there you go Joe Davis I agree flailing at it he wanted it there's Drew Jones blue paper that's a really solid we're going to do this recap in a second it's a really solid case let's go Miguel Vargas choke up a little bit 0 and 2 defensive hitting just need a single I think James Almond got the day off today he might be able to pinch it for somebody there's a righty that's high that's high and the last out of Cam Collier nice good way to end it and another good take by Miguel Vargar purple as well look at that 101 out of 250 purple chrome on card autograph Cam Collier, Scott and the Reds Scott picked that team up straight up scared money don't make money your 18th overall pick that's really nice real nice big hit Joe Pizzle that's right big hit and a nice way to end it wow what a break look at this we're going to hide some of the bigger hits down here in addition to all the color that we were pulling out of here right we got tons of parallels tons of color in the paper we got the Drew Jones blue paper Justin Crawford purple chrome and obviously some real solid players here as well and because this is Bowman who knows even the ones that aren't popular today could be really popular in a few years there's Andrew Painter there's the Hunter Barco another Justin Crawford color more Drew Jones paper color the Drew Jones Invicta to 50 the Nolan Gorman the Nolan Gorman hidden gems which we can't find too much information on purple chrome, cam collier and refractor auto Drew Jones there you go ladies and gentlemen listen we got another case of this loaded up in store go get after it I'm Joe for jaspyscaserakes.com I'll see you next time for the next one go Dodgers I'll snap some pictures of those so the hidden gems card they're numbered 11 so the implication being there's at least 1 through 11 right come on David Peralta why aren't we pinch hitting James Altman there Chris Altman has been known to be pretty clutch no he didn't what is up has dinner reservations Chris I guess he did go I don't know we might have to do some research your homework assignment everybody is look up 2023 Bowman baseball hidden gems can we find a checklist can we find something can we find more information on that not clutch today so what do you know about these hidden gems cards Chris I was literally going to say I don't know anything about these I've literally never seen of these I've never heard of these HG11 there's at least 11 of these not on cardboardconnection.com not on any of the official checklists they're just there there's like some like loose they weren't kidding about that all hidden thing yeah there's some loose like a chatter on like the blowout forums about that yeah yeah yeah it's like oh there's hidden gems 4 there's hidden gems is that what those posters sound like it's like all the penis so I think it's worth the clickbait hidden gems Nolan Gorman exclamation point question mark exclamation point question mark should I put a question mark there should I put a question mark there or just exclamation point what's more clickbaity exclamation point and question mark what we should really do is we should hook up like the Spanish speaking keyboard so we can get the upside down exclamation points at the beginning should there be a little thumbnail of me being like upwards to the car we should really be doing that just to make fun of them can we hire someone to make this Phil Bigford is still in this game oh yeah Phil Bigford is going to wear it I saw Dave Roberts talking to him as if no one else is coming to this game you're winning it or losing it for us so because we got it because there's only two bullpen arms and I think they pitched yesterday like Gratterall and someone else oh I could be like I could be like Joe Davis I'll be honest with you, I don't know boom cringes is what you get that's what you get, funding is cringe especially if you don't know how to fund I'm not as sharp on the rules of the game but I guess the producer can just tell me I think, you know I've done play where I play stuff from the past but sometimes I talk too much and I think my main problem was I never let the moment breathe you got to learn from Vince Golly never let the crowd speak for the crowd can speak sometimes when I pull a big hit I just keep the card there and just look into the camera and be like are you not entertained basketball guy was looking I'm glad Christian Vazquez was taking it all away let's say thigh high belt high 94 mile per hour straight basketball something Christian Vazquez can hit he didn't want to right that's why he's Christian Vazquez let's flail at that he's going to tag all right so Christopher Morell is HG13 J-Rod's HG15 so I think there's definitely some homework we can do this week anything sold out here that's sold out but that as a filler that's sold out but that needs that last filler listen I think we could do this tonight I'll give it I'll give it some time basically the time it takes for me to put this break away and you know kind of tidy up the store a little bit do my do my whatchamacallit my close the shop stuff right I can do all of that that'll probably take us a little bit past the top of the hour if this sells I'll do it and that unlocks the case break too and I guess as long as this Dodger game keeps going I might just stay the entire length of the game I might be plenty of time so you you're rooting for this game to go to like 15 innings oh man Scott I just caught what you say yeah if there's a Drew Jones hidden gems exist speaking of Drew Jones looks like before I started the break Steven P picked up the diamond back straight up nice thank you Steven JC picks up a spot in the revolution break and that's the filler for the high-end mixer D.Y. picks up the Tampa Bay Rays in Bowman 17 pick your team 17 fresh case Tristan gets the Yankees Bowman 17 fresh case Kevin picks up the twins Bowman pick your team 17 Ed P grabs Saints and Patriots in playbook that's the second half of the case and that's it that's the last order I got and that was half an hour ago I didn't realize that this hip-raid basketball was down to its last filler so this fills hip-raid basketball just be exclusive I'll give it I'll give it I don't know another 10 or 15 minutes I feel like we can get that done tonight it's only a very quick break it won't take up too much of our time so next reading Trace Thompson Trace Thompson they walked that Monday to get to Trace Thompson he got picked off he wants this he just needs a single that's it I don't need a dinger from Trace let's go ladies and gentlemen Trace Thompson can he hit the shots that Clay could not I'm dogging Clay he's so bad that was a homerun swing right there I've seen Clay have some bad games in the past that's not one of the worst games I've ever seen him play well he had two bad games in a row it's rare that he has three bad games I mean he did he was a busy man but yeah I mean those lower leg injuries those are real man big pile up this is his first full season back from everything right where his first off season last year was the first non-surgery recovery off season I think he's going to take another just conditioning he's been out for like two years so you think they bring the game back together they'll be signed Draymond and see what they can get for Jordan Pool do you think they're going to trade Jordan Pool I think that's the knee jerk reaction I don't think they will no one's going to take that contract I think some dumb team will do it I mean if you can find a dumb team to take that money I know a dumb team that will take it who with Clippers on the west coast though it's not like there's not a guy on a team of north and the pacific northwest who's looking to get a win pool and pieces for Dane I'll get Dane down to golden state there you go, Trace Thompson with the walk off walk classic just like we all drew it up we drew it up oh gosh Trace Thompson's been playing like crap so like I feel this is the one thing a player needs sometimes yeah little confidence still think he's going to get big i5 and a guy on the back from Dave I still think he's going to get a release in a month or two maybe less than that maybe we'll see though just like what's that dude's name from the Lakers was it Matt Ryan Matt Ryan he's a big game winner and might have been the difference maker I was talking about that just think about if the Lakers had one more loss we might be out of the play or in like a worse seed we don't end up facing the Grizzlies we may end up facing the Sun so God forbid Chris do you think the Lakers can do it yeah if they beat the Nuggets they're definitely beating anybody because I think anyone in the west is going to beat anyone in the east is what I think if you had told me that two months ago I would have looked at you like you were the craziest man I'd ever seen I thought it's east east east is dominating and now I don't know I think if the Nuggets beat the Lakers they're still they're winning the finals if the Lakers beat the Nuggets they're winning the final like I think west beats east it's not going to be eat I'm not saying it's a cake walk but I'm saying it'll be six seven games it'll be a win for the west though and everyone's going to be like well Jason Tatum but it's just like if Jason Tatum had to muster up a 50 point performance to like legacy game Joe legacy game from Jason Tatum no Celtics fans come on Celtics fans have to be like Lakers fans those aren't legacy games unless he does it in a clinching game of an NBA final you know I hate to say it Joe because I would know Lakers fans and Celtics fans are so stupid we're the same D-bags we're the same dumb D-bags we're not different sides of the same coin we're the same side of the same coin except we just wear different colors that's it me and my poor Pacers fans are just like you guys are jerks I feel bad for most Midwest I don't feel bad for Milwaukee anymore obviously why did they fire boomholes that seemed a little odd didn't it seemed like knee jerk reaction scapegoats baby Monty Williams was fired too I couldn't believe that I can believe that Deandre Aiden cost him that job maybe talk to your players you know you've got a guy who's dead about free agencies he's at the time a top 3 player on a championship appearing team hey maybe say hey how's it going maybe don't give him the coldest shoulder I've ever seen any coach in any sport give to a player Deandre Aiden also a little soft okay if he's soft you know he's soft talk to him a little bit of a baby hey what do you think of they should trade him to like soft spill well go to Indiana confirmed confirmed Chris Jaspy thinks Indiana is soft spill no because they were after Deandre in the first place he signed that deal I mean they should just end up doing the deal they should end up doing that deal I'm going to tell you right now Joe because I know how Miles Turner on that team on the Sun if Miles Turner is on that Phoenix team they don't need anybody else the defensive impact he has on the ball the rim protection he can actually score the ball he can shoot the 3 the spacing they would get there they wouldn't at all I'm sure Joe Pizzle does not want to hear this right now I'm sure he's in here he knows if Aiden for Turner happens retroactively they wouldn't sign one at all and you can still it's not just a one for one Suns need depth too so if they can get like we're doing the post mortem on the Suns right now so if where the Pacers are there and I'm saying if you just get like Miles Turner and like a T.J. McConnell you know like Chris Duarte like some like T.J. McConnell then someone who can spread out that bench a 31 year old dude who's still active in like assists he can pass the ball he can distribute really well you know they had no bench they had no bench and then one Chris Paul went down they had no distributors guess what how about a 31 year old point guard and T.J. McConnell who can distribute the ball when Chris Paul isn't on the floor I don't know do you need to play armchair GM absolutely but I am live right now I was like I don't want to be holding you up I think a lot of these things just make the most sense I'm trying to see if there's any late night takers in this last filler for the hit parade basketball but I think I'm getting crickets Chris you know I'll knock this out tomorrow and then that would be a great first break of the day to get the people going I like that hey listen I'm going to call it but remember we're starting to do some daytime starting to go a little bit earlier here Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Saturday so Chris is Tuesday Saturday Tuesday Thursday Saturday and then Michael Mondays he'll be on earlier and then you know Jason will go live on Wednesdays when there's new releases on YouTube but these are our early days now so this is just you know just to give them reps obviously is the one thing just to try to capture a new audience daytime audience it might take a little time but I think people might like that that gets the people going we can do some breaks that'll warm up the people kind of get people going get some breaks going talk about the breaks we can do tonight all that sort of stuff so so yeah and listen we don't we don't stream 24 hours a day someday we might we don't stream 24 hours a day but the website's open 24 hours a day so if you buy spots before you go to bed east coasters will wake up in 4-5 hours the early birds east coasters will wake up they'll buy spots and the early bird west coasters a few hours later will buy spots Chris will be on it before you know it and then I'll tag in 3 or 4 hours and then after that boom easy peasy Chris now speaking of which now that you're since you're here I would also like you to really push this of course because we extended the promo we got a lot of work to do but we extended the promo so I mean it's really just the 2 breaks obviously the MNX is a big boy break but I mean if we can get some of the just some fillers one or two fillers before you get in that'd be excellent that revolution basketball itself is also a pretty decent break 4 blocks 4 boxes I'm looking at maybe 2 autos maybe a galactics nice parallels I think I did the first half I saw a few autos full disclosure but I don't think we saw the galactic you know sometimes it's all it takes and you know you get a nice hit and you can turn that around into another filler spot or maybe you're hit so good you can grab a straight up spot in that high end mix there you have ladies and gentlemen all right gang well join Chris tomorrow he'll be live early noon LA time 3pm east coast time right instead of our usual 3pm west coast 6pm east coast right so he's going live basically a few hours earlier than normal just to kind of get the people going so thank you very much everybody thanks Chris for going going live early tomorrow in advance and I'll see everybody


Good evening and welcome to the Fort Worth open space conservation program public meeting. I would just like to let you know a few housekeeping rules. If you have any questions or comments, please use the chat feature and you can share. Your comments and we'll try to get to them as we go through the presentation and then any of those questions that do get submitted to the chat. We'll be answered during the question and answer session. So we'll make sure to get to everyone. And thank you for joining us and for all of your feedback. This is going to really help us make sure that we're considering the right things as we develop this program. And so I want to start with tonight. Sorry about that. I want to start with tonight's agenda. We are going to be going over an overview of the open space conservation program. We're going to talk about our modeling goals and that'll make a little bit more sense here in a bit. And we're going to talk about our public survey, and then we'll have our question and answer session. Okay, so first of all, the open space conservation program was developed to conserve high quality natural areas in the city. And this is especially important as Fort Worth continues to grow. The entire region has experienced tremendous growth over the past couple of decades. And so as we continue to develop out, we want to make sure that we're capturing these natural spaces that provide environmental benefits and recreational opportunities for our residents and as well support economic development and enhance our. And so one of the reasons we want to conserve open space, it helps us achieve our vision of being the most livable city in the country. And it also accomplishes a lot of our city council strategic goals. So we want to make Fort Worth the nation's safest major city. And it may not be obvious right now about what open space has to do with safety, but one of the main categories that we're looking at with open space is flood. Protection and stormwater detention. So things that will help prevent flooding in the future, as well as provide those natural floodplains. And we want to improve mobility and air quality as we preserve these areas, these natural spaces with trees that helps protect our our air quality. And obviously, these open spaces are attractive. You know, we've got some beautiful open prairie and river scenes and lakes and want to make sure that we preserve those for future generations. And we can also strengthen our economic base as a lot of companies want to move to this area. They are looking for things like open spaces for their campuses, places where they can allow their employees to recreate on their lunch hour. It helps us improve the sustainability of our development. When we preserve these open spaces, it allows for higher density development around those to give more people access to these places. And so 1 of the 1st questions that always comes up is, what is the difference between open space versus Parkland? And the biggest thing is experiencing nature. So in a park, like you see in the right hand picture, you may have more mode lawns and playground equipment, basketball courts, things that are very structured. Whereas the picture on the left, you're seeing really natural spaces with maybe just a few paved trails and very little in the way of actual physical structures or pavement. We really want to connect people with natural spaces that are maintained in a different way than your traditional parks. And so the city started looking at this. We've got a great park system, but we also want to make sure that we have these green spaces that are preserved in a more natural state. So we brought in people from across the city, all different departments that are part of this ongoing team. And this program started in the fall of 2019 and incorporated all of the different departments you see here, as well as some of our partners at the Council of Governments, Streams and Valleys and the Regional Water District. And then we also brought in a contractor, the Trust for Public Land, which is nationally recognized for their work in open space and park conservation. And so the other thing that comes up right away is, how are we going to pay for this? So some of the ideas that we're proposing for funding sources are future bond programs. There's a lot of partnership and grant opportunity that comes up with this through entities like the Texas Parks and Wildlife or our regional government. We're also going to utilize some of our gas well trust fund money for this park dedication fees. And then maybe some special revenue funds. We could be looking at open spaces that we're acquiring jointly with the water department where they may need to place some infrastructure, but we could also preserve natural space around that. The same for stormwater and environmentally to protect our streams and rivers. So we have a lot of different opportunities with open space for funding. And one of the first places, actually the first place that we were able to acquire under this program was Broadcast Hill. And this was just in June of last year. And so we used some of those gas well revenue funds as well as funds raised by the community. So Broadcast Hill came to our attention from residents. They wanted to protect this as an iconic place in the city. And it was also adjacent to the Tandy Hills natural area. And so it has remnant prairie. It's got a lot of species that you don't find in large areas like Broadcast Hill across the city. And so we worked with community members to make this our first open space acquisition. And then we, as we were going through this process, like I mentioned earlier, we contracted with the trust for public land. And what they're doing for us is we are giving them all of the data related to open space throughout the city. And they are creating a tool that helps us prioritize areas. So that's the big question is what areas are more important for us to go in and acquire through this program. And that's what this tool is going to do in a very objective way. And so we have all of these different goals that we want to accomplish with the model. And they're listed here under recreation, community health, equitable access. So we're taking all of these different goal areas and we're putting all of the data into the model. And this picture is an example under our equitable access category. We're looking at the percent of low income in our different census tracts. And because we want to make sure that we're not just serving the same parts of town that we are capturing everyone that we're getting to our underserved communities and making sure that they have access to open space as well. And so once you have all of these different layers been in the model with all this different data, we're going to wait the different criteria. And that's where the public input comes in. We want to know what is most important to you as we go through these goals. And so I'll go into a little bit more detail here on the goals. So when we talk about recreation in natural spaces, we might be talking about things like kayak launches, trail heads. It would be more natural interaction, bird watching, things that you would do on hiking trips and things like that. When we're talking about community health, we want to reduce exposure to things like the urban heat island by maintaining some of the natural spaces in our very developed areas. We're going to be looking at health data. So zip codes that tend to have high instances of things like diabetes or asthma, things that are related to lack of access to recreation. When we're looking at equitable access, again, we're looking at those underserved and marginalized communities. And then with flood control, we're looking at not just our flood plains, but other flood prone areas throughout the city so that we can help alleviate some of that flooding by capturing it in these natural spaces. And then we're also looking at stream, river, and lake health. Any of our environmentally impaired water bodies, we want to make sure that we're protecting the areas around those to prevent additional pollution from entering those streams, rivers, and lakes. And then with economic development, we can help spur development in certain areas. When we're looking at mixed use areas and transit oriented areas, we want to make those trail connections and we want to provide that open space for as many people as possible in these higher density areas. And then with ecosystem preservation, these are woodlands and prairies and endangered habitats as well as the habitats of endangered animals. So we're looking at all of these different things together. And that is what we're going to get to in our public survey. We encourage everyone who's on here to take our survey. We want to hear feedback from you on what's most important in those models. So is recreation, the thing that's most important to you, is having access close by? Is it protecting certain habitats or flood control? Because each of those different categories and all the data that goes into it is going to be weighted differently according to the feedback that we get from our residents. So it's really important that we hear from you. And you can access this survey directly through the links that are shown here and I'll make sure to put those in the chat box so you can grab them. But also want to show you our website. You can go to FortworthOpenSpace.org and that's going to pull up the joint website with the Trust for Public Land in Fort Worth. And you can scroll down here and we have the English and Spanish versions of the survey as well as some of our resources and videos from our first stakeholder meetings. You can get additional information on our website as well. And so let me jump back in here. And if there's anything that you think of beyond this meeting, please feel free to contact us at Fort Worth OpenSpace at FortworthTexas.gov. So I'm going to grab these links real quick and then I'm going to jump into the chat box so I can start answering some questions. So give me just a moment and I'm going to put these in here for everyone. Okay, so there's the English survey and here is the link to the Spanish survey. So in the first questions we got, oh, how do you define high quality? Well, that's a good question and it kind of goes back to the modeling goals that we're trying to achieve. So high quality can be defined, high quality habitat might mean that there are rare or endangered species versus a lot of invasive species or things that we're going to need to clean up environmentally. So we really want to capture those natural spaces that are as close to natural state as possible versus something like a brown field that has already been developed that we would have to turn back into a natural space. And then the email address, you can absolutely reach me directly brandy.kelp at fortworthtexas.gov or you can email our open space team and this goes to everyone on that team. So sometimes we're able to get back to you a little quicker. I want to make sure that you have our contact information and then scenic fort worth board. Oh, you guys are here. So welcome and then what I'm going to do, I'm going to jump in here. I'm going to unmute everyone and then I would like to hear from you. So if you have any questions, please feel free to share them at this time. So brandy, thanks. Margaret DeMost here from scenic fort worth. I apologize. I was having to, I don't know, WebEx wanted to upgrade itself before I signed on. I didn't hear you introduce yourself. What department are you in? I'm actually a senior planner in our stormwater department. But before I took on this role overseeing our open space program, I was actually in our environmental quality division and I oversaw our keep fort worth beautiful litter volunteer program. Okay. So this, so this initiative does fall in the stormwater department. It does but you may not have seen our slide. I'm going to jump back here because our team that meets on a weekly basis is very much cross departmental. So every week people from across the city meet on this program and it's been a great opportunity for us. We've really been able to identify a lot of challenges and overcome any issues very quickly because we're all working together. We've got our park and recreation department, development, we've got environmental, property management, everyone is collaborating on this and it's made a really robust program very quickly because we started this program came into being at a meeting in September of 2019 and by June of last year we had already made our first acquisition. So it's moving very quickly and I attribute a lot of that to the cross departmental work that we're doing. I love that. Thanks. Were there any other questions or comments out there? I want to make sure that we get to everyone. All right. If there are no other questions, oh, here we go. How much do you think public support popularity app will affect the city's ability to acquire? So actually we've had broad public support for this program. We did a survey before this program and found that about I think 80% of the city wanted to see open space preservation. So it seems like there has been across the board support. We've received a lot of support directly from our city manager's office from a lot of our council members. So it has really been robust. Right now we're working on identifying all the different funding sources and one thing that trust for public land is doing for us is they're benchmarking other cities. So they're asking how other cities are funding their open space programs to give recommendations to our city council so that we can make sure that we have the funding necessary. But we've already been given the okay to use some of those gas well funds and we're working with parks and the water department and some of our other departments on joint acquisitions where it makes sense. So it really hasn't been an issue so far thankfully. That's great. Actually one reason I ask is sort of out of fear maybe I'm sort of thinking back to the era of the Tea Party and just how challenging you know there are kind of cycles in public opinion and rightly so right there's kind of a you know push and pull there of the demand for and desire for great civic assets and then the you know the the voices that say now wait a minute is that really our priority and so absolutely seems to be like parks open spaces etc are always vulnerable you know to austerity voices and so I was just thinking about this because I don't know when we get a chance to speak again that I hope that that we are collectively mindful of this just so that we're making and I think you did a good job by the way but thinking about how how how we like my mind goes to sort of long-term economic health of cities and yeah right now I'll just plant the seed in cases of any value with with what it's a totally different you know decade or decades of people choosing where they live based on where they work in my opinion cities are entering into an arms race of amenities and I say amenities that doesn't mean you know the kind of amenities you put in parks but rather how great of a place do you offer talented people who can afford to move wherever they want how great of an environment do you offer those people and of course no city can afford everything but I think that it's it's probably wise to look at it through that lens and and if you look at one of the the categories where we're probably a little weak currently it would be this sort of thing it's access to nature you know especially in light of how people have needed to clear their head walk in natural spaces in the last nine ten months I just did it today on the river that having not just quantity of spaces but quantity and quality of spaces even if it's a drive to you know for people is is the difference between you know recruiting some people who are really desirable people who will kind of drive the next employers in town pay a lot of taxes etc so I think there's an indirect payback that maybe trust or public land and somebody else has some data that they tracked on that but yes we don't already have a mountain next door oh yeah no we've um that's part of the consideration that goes into this whenever we're looking at properties that we may want to acquire you know if we put in you know if we if we preserve these open spaces you know what does that allow us to do that allows us to make trail connections that may not have happened and we know that property values around those trail connections tend to be higher allows us like I said to build at a higher density which again increases our tax base and gives more people access to these places at the same time so there's definitely a lot of synergy between open space and economic opportunity while growing sustainably and so it really the open space program really helps us achieve so many of the city's strategic goals and the overall vision of being the most livable city and I think that there's broad recognition for that both within the city and with the public and like I said it's received such broad support because each department can see the value of open space for their own programs and I think that really helps drive this program forward and is why it has moved so quickly and so successfully so far are we looking at that conservation easements as a method to achieve either you know contiguous open spaces or or just pre-standing ones yeah conservation easement it's one of those that's in the toolbox of course that's applied to private open space so that would obviously and I should say when we're looking at acquiring open space we are looking at voluntary acquisition and any conservation easement would also be voluntary as well but we would absolutely encourage you know developers property owners to look at conservation easement as a tool we're also looking at the potential for the land trusts and things like that that some of the other cities might have and where it's operated by a third party and so we're looking at all of these different tools as a means to achieve the same thing so whether the city owns it and operates it or whether there's a conservation or public access ability you know on a private open space we're looking at all those different options absolutely and it we have another question here from Margaret is there a budget goal for the percentage of public and private dollars so far we do not have a goal specifically for that we're still taking a look at like I said the benchmarking from other cities TPL is still working on that and we're also looking at the total budget for the program as a whole it is so new and it's still in development so we don't have the final numbers yet and a lot of it comes down to the cost to acquire the property varying very widely depending on if we're talking about an open space in an infill developed environment or if we're talking about an open space like in the extraterritorial jurisdiction you know the land values can vary you know widely and then with public and private dollars I'm not sure if we're going to set a goal we'll find out but we always keep the option of private funding and donations like the donation of land or the donation of funding for acquisition as well as time we are going to be looking at potential volunteer programs for this because it's not just the initial acquisition of these properties it's the ongoing maintenance as well and so we're looking at all of those things and working on developing a budget for that but it's something that's ongoing as of this time thanks so in your benchmarking with other cities and other similar programs is there a recommended minimum size for these open spaces I'm thinking of our you know our pocket parks which you adequately you know differentiated between parks and open space but is there sort of the smallest minimum recommended for open spaces we don't I don't know I don't have the answers yet from the benchmark but I can tell you as we've given our own recommendations into the development of the modeling tool we've specified that in highly developed areas like downtown you know we really want to look down to things that are maybe a quarter of an acre or even a little less because that size of an open space can actually have a huge impact if you have a large community or transit oriented development around it so we haven't developed really any specific cutoffs but I definitely think that the range you know in that inner city area we'd be looking at at least a quarter acre above and then probably more out in the far west or far north where you have that extra territorial jurisdiction because there we'd want to be capturing large habitats and contiguous open space brandy but again you can give those recommendations for us in that public survey so absolutely please give us that kind of feedback brandy this is Judy Harman and I'm also with scenic port worth and I want to just give underline the need in the center city where we have mixed use and urban residential and the other more highly dense developments we are not capturing space there to make them long-term to maintain the long-term value and to make keep them livable and healthy so I just want to underline that need yes in a lot of we have a specific economic development section in the modeling goal but even in some of the other areas we prioritize based on land use and again you can help us determine those weights that you would like to see but we are specifically looking at the future land use in Fort Worth like the mixed use areas and the high density and transit oriented development and so those particular land uses can have higher values in the modeling tool so when it calculates all the different weights from all the different layers you know it's assigning those higher values to those types of areas especially when we're talking about certain modeling goals and I definitely that that is one where we're really trying to push to weight more heavily so that we are improving the sustainability of those areas and driving the economic base as well just like you said and did we have any other questions this is kind of a tactical question I suppose it's land acquisition is very labor intensive who on staff is doing that so we actually have multiple people but property management actually heads up our acquisitions they have the expertise and the knowledge to do that so once we find an area we say yeah that we want this this one is the one that we're interested in we ask our property management to come in and get involved so that they can help us with the appraisals and all of those different things like the due diligence of the site so again that really comes back to being that interdepartmental effort if you were if you were speculating at this point do you think we'll see some kind of large-scale uh you know what currently is ex-urban sort of perimeter etj locations you know that will be surrounded by homes the next decade or two like and and potentially would you see you think that those would span a bunch of different current property owners and like floodplains probably yeah um so floodplain again is one of those things that we're looking at you know those higher weights um and one of the challenges with the etj the extra territorial jurisdiction is that we have less data for that area um so we've tried to counterbalance that by weighting some things in the etj a little bit higher but we definitely have to prioritize the need of our current residents um and so they may or may not be served as well by the etj but that is included in our modeling area so it's it's something that we've looked at and we're also considering development pressure so we're looking at places where we know there's a lot been a lot of development interest in saying okay we need to get in early and our parks you know our water department already does this um when they're looking at infrastructure and so we're saying okay what do we need to acquire to be able to support development in this area from an infrastructure standpoint and so now we're kind of bringing in the open space concept to that idea and did that answer your question specifically i i don't know if i i skirt it around listening for was whether you were going to say look you know if it looks like it's three to a complicated we'll probably stay away from that or that's where i was thinking easements might come in so there's some sort of thin connection or something you know or it sounds like maybe they'll they'll tolerate more complicated transactions i'm not sure oh yeah no i mean if there's multiple um uh landowners involved and things like that no that's not going to knock it out it's it's not it's not part of our modeling criteria we are looking for those high quality spaces and then once we find them we'll have to look at the you know cost to acquire and and those other factors but um know that that doesn't get incorporated into the model and so if we find something great and there's 10 property owners attached then that's what we'll do we'll work with those property owners and again like you said we may we may be looking at um working with them from a conservation easement standpoint or um some type of land trust so we'll use every tool available to help us acquire those spaces that we identify great i hope to answer your question i know we're running a little over time but i don't want to leave anyone out if there are any further questions i'm more than happy to answer them all right well um if there's anything else that you can think of of course you can reach out to us um at the open space uh at four over texas.gov email address and again you can visit the project website and please if if there's one takeaway from tonight i cannot stress highly enough please take that survey so we can get as much feedback from the community as possible and i hope you all have a fabulous night and um keep an eye on that website we'll be putting all of our updates on that as we develop this program thanks for doing this so thank you all and have a good night


How to create a Google search campaign. Log into Google AdWords and click on the plus symbol. Click new campaign. So if you have an e-commerce site and you want to track the sales on the website then you should go with the campaign gold type of sales and if you want to track the firm fields or the e-book downloads or any sort of downloads which you want to track which are generated through the firm fields. So select leads as goal for this type of campaigns. If you want to just track the website traffic or if you want to do branding promotion and all then you can go with these three types of campaign goals and if you want to count the count or create a goal for the app downloads or app installs then you can choose this and if you want to drive people towards your stores then you can choose the gold diverse local store visits and promotions. For now I want to track the people who have filled form on my website or whom I want to drive to fill my form on the website. So I will check leads as my goal for now. So checking this as leads and selecting a campaign as search then I want to select ways you would like to reach your goal. So I want to track people on my website and then I want to track them and drive them towards my goal. So I will sell input my website here. So I will put my website address here then click on continue. I want to start a new setup.  Further you have a trick for the easy recognition like which campaign and what type of campaign you are running. Now as I am launching for the search search so I have inserted the campaign as search in the campaign name and used as I am giving a tutorial. So for the easy recognition like which campaign and which keywords or add copies and which landing pages are targeted in the campaign. So we will make use of the word wordings or wordings of the landing page or the targeting in the campaign name for easy recognition of the campaign targeting. So it is a search campaign and I am using this for the tutorial and I am using this for the location remember. So this makes my campaign name. So I am launching only for the search network so I will untick the display network. So take this Google search partners as this will increase your traffic. So I want to target the location Zimbabwe. So I will take on this under another location and click on advance search. So here click on Zimbabwe. So select target. You can see the reach of your campaign. So it is displayed here. The number is a reach. And next comes whom you want to target. So Google recommends the first option. So go with that or you can choose a second option. It will narrow your traffic and it will increase your traffic. So I will go with this because I want to target only specific region. This suits best with my requirements. So I have to take the second one and leave this second one. This does not make any difference. So language is English and audience and all this does not matter now. We will plan another video for this all audience and other settings. So for now my daily budget is 1000 US, 1000 rupees. So now comes the bidding strategy. Click here and select a bid strategy directly. So I want to select my bidding strategy as manual CPC as this is a new campaign. I will always stick for the manual CPC with enhanced CPC at least for 7-10 days I will use this bid strategy. Then after that you can change the bid strategy which Google recommends. Always optimize for conversions and scroll down. This cycling extension, scroll out extensions, scroll extensions we can make you, we can give you another video for this. So for now save and continue. So next we will enter into the ad group. So give the ad group name and this ad group name always remember try to give the name of the ad group by seeing at the keywords. I gave my campaign name as borehole drilling as all keywords are related to borehole drilling. So I will copy the name and I will paste here and default wait what is the default maximum CPC you are willing to pay. So I will make it as 55 rupees and then next comes the keywords. I already made a list of the keywords here. So copy and paste use symbols in the keywords like this represents phrase this represents exact. So I have made a prepared the excel sheet accordingly. So I will copy and paste here then save and continue. Then you will enter into ad copies. This is the ad copy stage. Now you need to enter the headlines and descriptions for your ad copies. I already prepared the setup here. So I will just copy and paste here. Always use the always use headlines with respect to your ad group keywords which will give you some good quality score and so that you will get lower CPCs and high CTR and good conversion rates. So you always launch RSS like Responses are such ads which will give you better output. Always go with the 15 all the 15 headlines. I have prepared the setup here and the descriptions. Always use full descriptions because based on your descriptions and based on your headlines Google customizes accordingly based on the user search query and gives the best best ad copy variation to the user. So always go for the RSA and always try to give maximum maximum input you can give for your ad copy. So finally URL is this if you want to choose any other apart from the home page or always choose the page which is specific to your ad group or specific to your campaign. Next path one path one should be always between 15 characters. Don't use space spaces in path one and path two. Always use hyphens.  This completes the campaign and ad group setup. Ad group consists of keywords and ads. See Google is suggesting me to create at least three ads in your campaign to improve campaign performance. Below traffic expected. Check your campaign targeting settings to fix this. We'll fix this later on. For now this is the setup for campaign type search. So once let me go through the ad group. Let me show you complete account structure from the beginning. So I just launched this campaign search tutorials in Bombay. Once again make a give a look at campaign settings. Goal is my leads will search partners in Bombay budget. Building started. There is no ended conversions. Okay. So let me go to my ad groups. So only one ad group I have created listed almost 75 keywords with all matched up variations. Broad exact and phrase for best and the highest traffic and my ad copies. Let me go to my ad copies. I have launched one RSA response search. So it is under review. Your ads will get reviewed in not more than 10 to 15 minutes. So if you want to add more ads, then you can click on response search ads and you can add more. Always go for at least three ad copy variations in an ad group. The best ad is optimized by the Google. And one more thing to remember in response search ads is always see this average ad strength. Always remember at least you reach good or excellent good or excellent ad strength because that gives the best output for you. So now it is average ad strength. Let me add a few more headlines here. So one, two, three, four, six, seven headlines. So let us see if my ad copy strength will increase or not by adding a few more ad headlines. And always remember ad headlines should be unique. They should not be clubbed or they should not look similar to other headlines. Fixed misspelling mistakes and all. So see it was average earlier now it is good. So best practice always use unique and maximum of 15 headlines for better output. So save your ad. You can see the overview also here desktop and mobile variations. So this completes the setup of search campaign with ad one ad group and keywords with all matched up variations and RSA response search ad copies. So for best practice always use keywords in headlines suggested and best practice which is suggested by the Google. So this ends the setup of search campaign.


This is the condition of the Great River called Krishna which has a basin of nearly 2.5 lakh square kilometres. Here the depletion of tree cover is 97% and the river itself has depleted 61% in the last 50 years. There was a three-year period between 2003 and 2006 where the river became a trickle for entire three years and barely reached the ocean. This is the unfortunate state of the Great River Krishna which has tributaries as big as Tungabhadra but still this is the condition it is and this is post monsoon. Post monsoon this is where it is. We must rally for rivers and make this happen.


Do you want a 4th of July dessert that's quick and easy to put together and creamy delicious? Well today I'm making a lemon whipped ricotta dessert and in that we have a layer of granola first then we're going to top it with our whipped ricotta and then we're going to finish it off with some graham cracker crumbles and some strawberries and blueberries for that 4th of July festive look. I'm rockin robin and I'm going to show you how to do it right after my chef joke. Okay I like to start off here with chef joke number one and we'll have number two a little bit later. All right here we go. What is a math teacher's favorite dessert? Pie! All right we're going to start off here making our lemon whipped ricotta.  It's nice and creamy and smooth and you're going to get the best results so don't use low fat. Now the ricotta cheese is going to cut back on some of the fat and it's also going to add some texture some some thickness to our whip and we're you're going to love that it's going to be nice and creamy.  Now to that I'm going to add an equal amount of heavy whipping cream and I'm using organic here and I love the ingredients. When you read them you'll see that it just contains cream and that's really what I want to have in my dessert. Next up we're going to use some vanilla extract so I'm going to put some of that in there. You can get the written recipe below the video in the description area. Click down there and you'll find it. Next we're going to add some honey. Another alternative to the honey would be maple syrup or even you know just regular sugar if you wanted to but I'm trying to keep it healthier and that's why I'm using the honey. You can play around with the amount of honey that you want to use in this recipe but I would start off with at least two tablespoons and work your way up to three and possibly even four. Now the next ingredient we're going to add is the lemon juice. This is fresh lemon juice I keep mine in the freezer. I always have it ready to go so I'm going to put some of this in there and you can play with this ingredient as well as to how much lemon you like.  So whip this up just like you would whipping cream for about you know three or four minutes or until it gets nice and stiff.  So you can either zest a lemon right into it or like I do I have mine frozen I keep it that way and I just pull out what I need and I sprinkle it in. Then you're going to want to fold this in with a spatula and not use the electric beaters because it will just stick to them and not get in your dish. I'm going to place our mixture into a smaller dish so it can go in the refrigerator and chill for you know about an hour. You can see how creamy and delicious this looks. And make sure you cover it before you put it in the fridge. All right it must be time for Chef joke number two. What dessert is perfect for eating in bed? A sheet cake. Okay so the next thing you want to prepare well first off let me mention I've got some blueberries here that are already rinsed and some strawberries. These are organic and now for our graham cracker crumbles. I'm using Mary's Gone Cookies. These are graham crackers that are gluten-free that have a cinnamon flavor to them and they're really good. And I also want to mention another brand Simple Mills here that you could also use that's also very good just like Mary's Gone Cookies if you can't find them.  It could be a rolling pin or a meat tenderizer. Don't smash them super fine but leave them a little bit chunky. You can serve this up in any dish you like. I like using glass because they can see the layers and here I have a glass mug and on the left there I have a glass ramekin. So before we put this thing together I want to just show you the granola that I'm using. This stuff is really good not too sweet and it's got some good ingredients. All right first we're going to start off a little granola in the bottom of our dish then we add the cream and we'll toss in a few berries.  So I'll take out the stem and I'll just maybe slice them you can do however you want. And then we finish it off with those graham cracker crumbles. All right I think it's time for a taste. Oh man is this delicious you've got that creamy lemony cream going on there with the crunch of the granola and the graham crackers and then you've got the fruit flavor to finish it off it is absolutely delicious. Now if you like strawberries you might want to check out my other 4th of July recipe chocolate covered strawberries which are red white and blue.
