November excites Canadian savers, especially Tax-Savings Savings Account (TFSA) users. It’s the time of the year when the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) announces the TFSA limit for the incoming year. The announced limit for 2025 is $7,000. While the contribution limit is the same as in 2024, it’s a game-changer nevertheless. The available contribution room for anyone eligible to open a TFSA since 2009 has bumped to $102,000. TFSA investors know that the power of compounding works best in the registered investment account because of the feature. Any interest, dividends or capital gains from eligible investment instruments, including stocks, grow tax-free. Hence, your TFSA balance grows faster if you reinvest in the dividends. Generating yearly passive income is problem-free as long as users do not over-contribute. Assuming your available contribution room is the maximum or $102,000, combining two low-volatile dividend stocks in a TFSA will produce $3,695.48 in yearly passive income. See the table below: The example applies only to a $102,000 TFSA contribution room invested equally ($51,000 each) between ( ) and ( ). The pays a 3.29% dividend, while the utility stock yields 3.95%. Both companies pay quarterly dividends. If you invest the max contribution limit of $7,000 ($3,500 each) in both dividend stocks, the annual passive income is 253.40. The earnings in either scenario are tax-free. National Bank of Canada is the smallest among the country’s Big Five banks, with a market cap of $45.5 billion. As of this writing, current investors are up 36.17% year to date. On June 11, 2024, NA announced a proposal to acquire . The Competition Bureau gave the green light for the transaction to proceed. NA now awaits approval from the Minister of Finance under the Bank Act. The Department of Finance launched a public consultation on November 13, 2024, to gather feedback from various stakeholders and organizations. NA believes the combination will create a stronger competitor and more choice for Canadians. Fortis is a logical holding in a TFSA for its lofty market position. FTS is TSX’s second Dividend King. The $30.9 billion electric and gas utility company has increased dividends for 51 consecutive years. Its low-risk profile stems from regulated utility assets (99%). The operations are in Canada, the U.S., and the Caribbean. Besides wearing a crown, Fortis announced a dividend growth guidance of 4-6% through 2029. Management expects the $26 billion five-year capital plan to raise its mid-year rate base by 6.5% (compound annual growth rate) and earnings per share (EPS) by 5.5% annually over five years. Fortis’s utility services demand is unchanging and resilient through economic uncertainties. Both factors are built-in advantages. TFSA benefits don’t stop at tax exemptions on money growth and earnings. Withdrawals are tax-free, too, and there is no lifetime limit.Laphonza Butler reflects on her brief Senate career, the presidential race and her future
Trump says he can't guarantee tariffs won't raise prices, won't rule out revenge prosecutionsBob Ferguson continues fight against abortion pill restrictionsOnce upon a time, was one of the most recognizable and respected figures in the music industry, causing him to be mentioned in some of the most popular songs in recent memory. But, due to the , some of those shoutouts have aged poorly. Here are some of the songs over the years that have name-dropped Diddy over the years. 2 / 17 Kesha - “TiK ToK” Kesha - “TiK ToK” One of the more famous mentions of Diddy is in this 2009 pop song, which also features the man himself. At the beginning of the song, Kesha sings, “Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy.” Thankfully, she (the app) to “Wake up in the morning like f**k P. Diddy.” 3 / 17 Eminem - ”Fuel” Eminem - ”Fuel” Unlike the previous song, Eminem is not showing props to the mogul. On his latest album, the Detroit MC takes shots at several of hip-hop’s controversial figures, including Kanye West and Puff. In this song, he raps, “ I’m like a R-A-P-E-R/ Got so many S-As, S-As/ Wait, he didn’t just spell the word ‘rapper’ and leave out a P, did he?/ R.I.P., rest in peace Biggie/ And ‘Pac, both of y’all should be living/ But I ain’t tryna beef with him/ ‘Cause he might put a hit on me like Keefe D did him,” 4 / 17 Kendrick Lamar - “Euphoria” Kendrick Lamar - “Euphoria” One of Kendrick Lamar’s scathing diss tracks toward Drake references Diddy, with the Compton MC rapping, “I like Drake with the melodies/I don’t like Drake when he act tough/You hon’ make a n***a bring back Puff.” This is about an incident where the mogul allegedly slapped the Toronto rapper. 5 / 17 Pusha T - “If You Know You Know” Pusha T - “If You Know You Know” In the intro to Pusha T’s incredible 2018 album, he says, “A rapper turned trapper can’t morph into us/But a trapper turned rapper can morph into Puff.” When describing this particular bar, Pusha told , “Puff is like the ultimate, he’s definitely the ultimate street dream.” I doubt he’d say that about him today. 6 / 17 Nicki Minaj - “Want Some More” Nicki Minaj - “Want Some More” On this 2014 track, Nicki Minaj brags about how much money she makes by comparing herself to other wealthy hip-hop figures. She raps, “You seen that list?/It was me, Baby, Jay-Z, and Diddy.” Crazy that both Hov and Diddt have been accused of some serious crimes since this song came out. 7 / 17 Nas - “Purple” Nas - “Purple” Unlike other songs on here, Nas does not give props to Diddy. He instead criticizes him, saying, “I don’t like the way P. Diddy did Syne with different lawyers.” It seems that Nas felt for years that Diddy unfairly set up Shyne, which the all this year. 8 / 17 Eminem - Eminem - He double-down on his shots toward Diddy on “The Death of Slim Shady,” saying, “Next idiot ask me is gettin’ his ass beat worse than Diddy did/ But on the real, though/ She prolly ran out the room with his f****n’ dildo/ He try to field goal punt her, she said to chill/ Now put it back in my a** and get the steel toe.” 9 / 17 Kanye West - “Life of the Party” Kanye West - “Life of the Party” Shockingly, Kanye West didn’t say anything too crazy about Puff, rapping, “Just like Puff told Christopher/We gon’ win big.” 10 / 17 J. Cole - “Let Go My Hand” J. Cole - “Let Go My Hand” J. Cole gets extremely honest about a rumored altercation between him and Diddy, saying, “My last scrap was with Puff Daddy, who would’ve thought it?/I bought that n***a album in seventh grade and played it so much you would’ve thought my favorite rapper was Puff.” The on a podcast episode in September. 11 / 17 Trill Family - “Wipe Me Down” Trill Family - “Wipe Me Down” Although this line aged poorly, I’m unsure if Boosie Badazz would even walk back this line, considering other questionable comments he’s made in the past. He says in the song, “Just left New York City/Hooked up with P. Diddy, Finna blow past 50...” 12 / 17 Clipse - “Mr. Me Too” Clipse - “Mr. Me Too” Like several other songs on this list, Pharrell drops Puff’s name to flaunt how much money they have. Pharrell raps, “Me and Puff hoppin’ off the plan, both us laughing.” 13 / 17 DNCE - “Cake By the Ocean” DNCE - “Cake By the Ocean” The only artist on this list to officially change the lyrics to their song amid the controversy surrounding the mogul. The original lyrics to this 2015 were, “Walk for me, baby/I’ll be Diddy, you’ll be Naomi, woah-oh.” In October, they were changed to, “Walk for me, baby/I’ll be watching you be Naomi.” 14 / 17 A$AP Ferg - “Back Hurt” A$AP Ferg - “Back Hurt” Ferg simply used Diddy as a way to flaunt his jewelry, saying in the song, “Diamonds dancing on me like they Diddy.” 15 / 17 MGK - “Wild Boy” MGK - “Wild Boy” As one of the newest rappers that Puff signed to Bad Boy Records at the time, MGK felt obligated to mention him in this 2011 hit song, saying, “I’m a bad boy cause I’m with Diddy b***h.” 16 / 17 Usher - “Lil Freak” Usher - “Lil Freak” It is interesting that he is on this list, considering sleuths on social media have . Usher sings in the song, “I’m plotting on how I can take Cassie away from Diddy.” Knowing what we know now, Usher should’ve done this much earlier, . 17 / 17
The College Football Playoff committee took SMU's wins over Alabama's strength of schedule, picking the Mustangs for the final at-large spot Sunday after a furious public debate and days of lobbying and arguing over which teams should make the 12-team field. SMU (11-2) showed it could compete against a traditional power, losing to Clemson 34-31 on a 56-yard field goal on the final play of the ACC championship game. The late-game rally probably did the trick. “I just think America saw SMU belongs," Mustangs coach Rhett Lashlee told ESPN on Sunday after his team got in. "We’re a team that has a chance to compete for this championship. And to some degree, I think we’re a little bit America’s team after last night.” The Mustangs, seeded 11th, will visit No. 6 seed Penn State in the first round. The bracket was expanded from four teams this season, but that didn’t help Alabama or save the committee from controversy that began over the past two weeks as the CFP rankings — and “data points” — were parsed and criticized. The squabbling wasn't limited to who should be in the field but also who should get consideration for first-round byes. The Crimson Tide (9-3) had quality wins against Georgia and South Carolina in their first season under coach Kalen DeBoer. Losses at Vanderbilt, Tennessee and Oklahoma proved costly. The 24-3 loss to Oklahoma was too much to overcome. The Sooners, who finished 6-6, rushed for 250 yards against the Crimson Tide and dominated despite having several key injuries. Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne said the committee's decision was not good for college football. “Disappointed with the outcome and felt we were one of the 12 best teams in the country,” Byrne said in a social media post. “We had an extremely challenging schedule and recognize there were two games in particular that we did not perform as well as we should have.” All of Alabama's losses came in conference play. Still, Byrne said he now will reconsider how his program schedules nonconference games. For now, the Crimson Tide will settle for playing Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Dec. 31. Several teams with strong seasons were left out besides the Crimson Tide, including Miami (two losses), South Carolina and Mississippi (three losses each). Committee chairman Warde Manuel explained that strength of schedule was valued — a comment that didn’t sit well with Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin. “Is this fake news??? he didn’t actually really say that ....” Kiffin wrote on a social media post, tagging both the Alabama and SMU football accounts. SMU actually increased its strength of schedule from the previous season by switching from the American Athletic Conference to the ACC. The Mustangs’ only regular-season loss this year was a nonconference game at home to 10-win BYU in the third game of the season . The Mustangs won nine straight before the loss to Clemson. That didn't make the waiting easier on Sunday. SMU was the last qualifier announced. “Until we saw SMU up there, you know, you’re just hanging, hanging on the edge,” Lashlee said. There was more controversy. Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark said he didn't believe any Group of Five team should get the bye over a Power Four champion, citing strength of schedule. Mountain West Commissioner Gloria Nevarez pushed back hours ahead of the bracket announcement. “Participation in the College Football Playoff isn’t about entitlement,” she wrote on social media. “It should not be contingent upon a conference patch or the logo on the helmet. ... Boise State’s body of work this season, including an 11-game win streak, has earned it one of the top four seeds ahead of the Big 12 champion.” In the end, Boise State of the Mountain West got the No. 3 seed ahead of Big 12 champion Arizona State, which was seeded fourth. But both got first-round byes. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

The Ford government is planning to push for another one of its controversial bills to fly through the legislative process, with the house leader now planning for the supervised drug consumption site ban to skip committee hearings altogether. Since returning late for a fall sitting, the government has sped through its law to frustrate new bike lanes, energy legislation and the fall economic statement with shortened debate and public hearings. Now, Progressive Conservative House Leader Steve Clark has tabled a motion to skip committee hearings altogether on an omnibus law that includes a ban on supervised consumption sites. He told reporters on Tuesday that bypassing public feedback was justified because the government’s intention to ban sites — and close down a total of 10 across Ontario — had been announced months ago. “The Minister of Health was very clear in August about our HART hubs, she was very transparent to municipalities that when the house came back, we were prioritizing this as legislation we needed to get passed as a government,” Clark said. “As early as the middle of August, we telegraphed our intentions.” Clark was referencing an announcement made by Health Minister Sylvia Jones at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference in Ottawa that supervised drug injection sites would be banned within 2000 metres of a school or child care centre. That ban meant 10 of the province’s 19 supervised consumption sites — which were previously opened under the Ford government — are set to close. The province has said repeatedly no new applications either through the federal or provincial government will be approved. Instead, Ontario will spend roughly $378 million on so-called HART hubs. The money will create 375 intensive addiction recovery beds across the province, something critics have welcomed but suggested will fall well short of demand. Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles said the government wanted to rush past committee hearings because it didn’t want to hear the effects its policy could have on those using supervised consumption sites. “This happens again and again with their legislation,” she told reporters. “They want to get out of here as fast as they can, they don’t want to hear from the people who are actually on the front line and they don’t want to hear from the people who are most impacted.” Ontario Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie, who said she agreed with the decision to ban the sites near “sensitive places” like schools or day cares, said she still believed the government should hear directly from people about the policy. “I feel very strongly that the committee, the premier, the government needs to hear from regular people and their experiences,” she said. Fast-tracking the proposed ban through the legislative process follows a similar template the government has used on other bills. When he announced he would speed up the passage of the bike lanes removal bill, energy legislation and fall economic statement, Clark said it was due to the short legislative session. Under the government’s own timeline, MPPs rose early in June and returned late in October. “I’ve been an MPP for 14 years. This is the shortest session that I can remember in recent memory and the government’s got a busy agenda,” Clark said at the start of November. He refused to be drawn on whether or not he agreed with his predecessor Paul Calandra’s decision to shorten the fall session. Ontario Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner also criticized the move. “The government, because they’re not making evidence-based decisions, don’t want to defend those decisions — whether it’s bike lanes or consumption treatment sites,” he said. “They don’t want to hear from the people of Ontario because the government knows that the decisions they’re making are going to harm people and put people’s lives at risk.”49ers QB Brock Purdy, DE Nick Bosa out, Brandon Allen to start at Green Bay

The Detroit Lions will play without two high draft picks in rookie cornerbacks Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. while possibly getting back veteran Emmanuel Moseley against the host Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Arnold was downgraded Saturday from questionable to out because of a groin injury. He was limited at practice on Thursday and participated in a full practice on Friday. The Lions drafted Arnold with the 24th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Alabama. Arnold, 21, has started all 10 games and has 38 tackles and six passes defended. Rakestraw (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve after not practicing all week. He already had been ruled out for Sunday's game. Detroit picked Rakestraw in the second round (61st overall) out of Missouri. He has played in eight games and has six tackles. Rakestraw, 22, has played on 46 defensive snaps (8 percent) and 95 special teams snaps (42 percent). Moseley had full practice sessions all week and was activated from injured reserve on Saturday but was listed as questionable for Sunday. The 28-year-old is in his second season with Detroit and appeared in one game last season before going on IR in October 2023. He was placed on IR on Aug. 27 with a designation to return. Moseley played from 2018-22 for the San Francisco 49ers and had 162 tackles, four interceptions -- one returned for a touchdown -- and 33 passes defensed in 46 games (33 starts). Detroit elevated linebacker David Long on Saturday for game day. Long, 28, signed with the practice squad on Tuesday after the Miami Dolphins released him on Nov. 13. He had started six of eight games for the Dolphins this season and had 38 tackles. In other Lions news, the NFL fined wide receiver Jameson Williams $19,697 for unsportsmanlike conduct for making an obscene gesture during a touchdown celebration in last Sunday's 52-6 home win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, the NFL Network reported Saturday. Williams, 23, scored on a 65-yard pass from Jared Goff with 12:55 remaining in the third quarter. --Field Level MediaStock market today: Wall Street rises at the start of a holiday-shortened week
Cornelious Brown IV throws 5 TD passes to lead Alabama A&M past Mississippi Valley State 49-35Black Friday used to be dubbed the unofficial start to the holiday shopping season, but deals began way before the Thanksgiving turkey popped into the oven. With discounts that are too good to pass up, it’s easy to excitedly add just about everything in your cart — but, it’s important to take the time to truly understand what’s worth your money and what isn’t. According to a recent Bain & Company report , U.S. retail sales between Black Friday and Cyber Monday are “forecast to rise 5% year over year to $75 billion ‘for the first time ever.” This comes as no surprise, as online shopping offers ample convenience, shopping options and research opportunities compared to in-person shopping. RELATED : Black Friday 2024 predictions and trends, according to shopping experts Our Post Wanted team is comprised of professional product testers, deal-hunters and brand pros. That’s why we’re so committed to helping you find the best deals on Black Friday and beyond. So, we’re telling you *exactly* what to buy (and what to avoid!) so you’re best prepared to conquer all the savings hitting the internet. “Over the past several years, we’ve seen significant changes in the holiday sales periods; rather than being confined to just two days, retailers now start sales earlier and extend them longer,” Ally Anderson, director of strategy and insights at LTK with more than 10 years of experience in digital marketing strategy, shared with The Post. “This shift aligns with consumer shopping habits, which have evolved to start holiday shopping earlier in the season. Our recent LTK holiday shopper study confirms this, showing a growing trend of consumers kicking off their holiday purchases well before Black Friday. According to the study, 58% of the general population will start shopping by the end of October.” What to Buy on Black Friday 2024 As you can imagine, smart TVs come in thousands of different models and are one of the best product categories to comb through on Black Friday. After all, Black Friday is well-known for major discounts on tech, including laptops, smartphones, tablets, smart home devices and TVs. Pro tip: look for deals on older models, as retailers are often eager to clear out last year’s stock to make room for new releases. One of our favorite kitchen products to recommend to Post Wanted readers is a newly minted coffee maker , and Black Friday is one of the best times — if not the best time — to buy one. From our experience digging into Black Friday products and price histories, it’s the ideal time to pick up top brands like Keurig and Nespresso, along with big-ticket espresso makers for less. In recent years, we’ve been surprisingly seeing some of the best deals on Korean skincare. Items like facial sunscreen , glass skin-inducing cleansers and toners (like COSRX’s viral Snail Mucin ) are discounted en masse. If you’ve been wanting to adopt a new skincare routine or pick up some products that’ll hydrate and do your skin some good, Black Friday is the time. What to Avoid on Black Friday 2024 It’s no surprise we like to shop, but there are a few items we recommend skipping, for the most part. Of course, you’ll want to follow our coverage leading up to Black Friday — and, during Black Friday weekend itself — should any of these product categories feature a can’t-miss deal: Newly released electronics : While older tech models can be a steal, newly released gadgets are often only discounted marginally. Brands like Apple , Samsung and Sony typically release their latest smartphones, laptops and wearables in the fall, and you’ll rarely find a good deal on these during Black Friday. So, If you’re eyeing the latest iPhone or MacBook, we recommend waiting for a deeper price cut later in the year or after the holiday season. Fitness equipment : While fitness equipment often gets heavy promotion on Black Friday, many of these deals aren’t necessarily great values. Items like treadmills , stationary bikes or elliptical machines may be a few hundred dollars off but, in retrospect, it may only be 10% or 20% off, which isn’t exactly a run-to-it deal. Moreover, the market for fitness equipment has been on the downturn after the pandemic, when people were sprinting to purchase treadmills, walking pads for their standing desks and rowing machines to complete their at-home gyms . Some of the larger brands have seen price inflation or a reduction in quality. That said, you may find better deals on items like dumbbells , kettlebells or resistance bands , which are typically cheaper and offer better value. Fast-fashion clothing : Cheaply made fashion retailers will often offer Black Friday discounts, but the items on sale may be part of trends that won’t last long. Instead of going for clothes that are highly trendy or designed to last just one season, opt for classic wardrobe staples that will have lasting value. Black Friday 2024 Shopping Tips As mentioned, this isn’t our first rodeo covering all things Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Ahead, find our insider shopping tips to take with you as you peruse site after site, discount after discount. Your Black Friday FAQs, answered by shopping experts Thanksgiving is late this year, falling on Thursday, November 28 , 2024. This year, Black Friday and its much-anticipated sales will occur on Friday, November 29 , 2024. We recommend shopping early for items that are likely to sell out, such as perennial gift favorites like Xbox, Ugg boots , PS5, Apple AirPods , the editor-approved Dyson AirWrap and more. Yes! Most stores and big box retailers continue to hold traditional in-store Black Friday sales but also match discounts for online shoppers. According to the National Retail Federation , Black Friday has topped Cyber Monday as the busiest day of the calendar ye ar for online shopping since 2019. The earliest usage of “Black Friday” as we know it dates back to the 1950s or ’60s, with “black” nodding to dreaded traffic jams caused by shoppers crowding downtown retail stores, as well as understaffed sales associates. Retailers attempted to rename the day “Big Friday” to signify a day of family fun and shopping. Although the rebrand didn’t stick, the positive connotation did. Retail businesses enjoy increased sales, and consumers enjoy corresponding holiday shopping discounts. Despite being a great day for retailers, Black Friday still draws on the dark side of American consumerism, as many will remember violent crowds competing for limited merchandise. However, with the advent of internet shopping, retailers and e-tailers have continued to see record-breaking sales in recent years, without the morbid mob mentality kicking off the holiday season. This year, the online shopping holiday Cyber Monday will take place on Monday, December 2 , 2024. The short answer is, it depends. Some retailers approach Black Friday and Cyber Monday differently, discounting various brands and products throughout the days after Thanksgiving, sometimes at different price points. Traditionally, Cyber Monday offers retailers an opportunity to drop deeper discounts on already on-sale products. However, consumers should take caution: waiting for Cyber Monday is a risk that products, or certain sizes or models, may sell out. Conversely, some stores don’t differentiate between their Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. Jet-setters rejoice: Travel Tuesday , with its great deals on flights, hotels, cruises, all-inclusives, and more, will take place on Tuesday, December 3 , 2024. Right here! Follow Post Wanted shopping coverage for all the Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Travel Tuesday deals worth your coin in 2024.

Among its many recommendations, the report detailed the possibility of offering incentives to companies willing to preserve portions of land within their developments. Fort Worth could also consider purchasing plots of land that can be broken up into smaller parcels, allowing for some acreage to be sold to developers under the condition it is developed in a sustainable manner. More than two years later, Fort Worth officials have done a tremendous amount of work to ensure the city is focused on implementing the strategies recommended by the Trust for Public Land, Mayor Mattie Parker told the Report. The city’s management of 300 parks and 13,000 acres of open space attests to Fort Worth’s ability to bring Trust for Public Land’s recommendations to life. On the other hand, incentivizing businesses and developers to help out is still a work in progress, said Parker, who launched her Good Natured open space initiative in 2023. The city’s official conservation program began in late 2019 and made its first land purchase in 2020. The city’s budget and planning department, known as FWLab, and the mayor have been in close conversation with developers and landowners to ensure they’re aware of the possibilities to grow while helping the city conserve land. An economic development incentive was created nearly two years ago, according to Parker. The policy includes an open space tax incentive, according to the economic development department’s communication coordinator Andrea Duffie, but has yet to be utilized by businesses.

That could be because the policy as a whole is intended for developers who aim to use several acres of land, said Duffie. The department’s incentive allows the city to acquire or secure an amount of acreage equal to a developer’s building footprint of project facilities, according to the policy. What is the open space incentive policy? Through the economic development incentive policy, developers have the option of allowing the city to secure any amount of land as an offset to the project’s land usage. The costs used to acquire the land will be deducted from city tax incentives approved for the project, along with a deduction for administration and maintenance costs of preserved land. To encourage developers to take advantage of this incentive, city staff are ensuring open space is in citywide planning. Parker says her conversations about land conservation with real estate partners have been effective. “Now, they’re understanding the importance of what this could mean,” said Parker. Having Allison Docker , the city’s newly named green space champion, is a great help when it comes to thinking about the different aspects of Fort Worth that go into the open space conservation program, added Parker. “What I’m hoping to bring to the table is thinking, throughout the whole city, the role that green space can play as a system,” said Docker. Residents can expect to see more real estate leaders become involved with Fort Worth’s open space goals, Parker said. “Whether it’s an incentive that someone needs or just additional tools in the development toolbox to do that, I think that’s where you’re going to see a lot of different people come to the table,” said Parker. This will also hold true for developers as Fort Worth officials shape the 2050 comprehensive plan, which hasn’t seen a major update since 2000 . Part of the comprehensive plan will include a riparian conservation incentive program to protect Fort Worth’s most vulnerable waterways and supplement the economic development incentive policy, according to Parker. Parker launched Good Natured last year with the goal of preserving and acquiring 10,000 acres of open space by 2028. Since its inception, the program has helped Fort Worth acquire 1,000 acres, according to Parker. Developers also play a role in this initiative, the mayor said. The city is working with private entities to ensure the acreage they’re conserving is part of Good Natured’s effort and elevates the local environment. One of those private entities,Texas Christian University, is expected to release more details of their long-term plans for conservation as the university grows. “There’s a huge focus on parks and trails, open space and connectivity to the rest of the city of Fort Worth” in TCU’s master planning, said Parker. “In my conversations with TCU leadership, that is a direct complement of what Good Natured is about.” Fort Worth officials involved in Good Natured and the open space program will pursue a large private-public partnership moving forward as the city considers how to conserve land in already-developed regions. “In the urban sector of Fort Worth, it’s less acreage, but has incredible impact right now working with downtown,” said Parker. The Heritage and Paddock Parks Project also showcases Good Natured’s efforts, added Parker. Out of many renovations, the city aims to provide more park space, walkways and accessibility to the environmental asset that is the Trinity River. “That’s a great example of a historic park, but (it) really needed to be redeveloped, and that’s what we’re working on today,” said Parker. Bowie Holland and Travis Clegg, both Real Estate Council of Greater Fort Worth board members, suggest the city focus more on infill development or redevelop existing inner city sites rather than expand into greenfield locations in the city’s outskirts. “By prioritizing infill development, the city could direct more capital into revitalizing its urban core, helping to enhance the existing open space network,” Holland and Clegg said in a statement. Docker also believes the city should do more to increase green and open space among its existing infrastructure. “The city’s largest public spaces are streets. ... What if we position streets as ways to connect people to nature and green spaces?” said Docker. “Green space is not just parks and gardens and not just preserved open spaces and trails.” The way in which developers approach open space efforts largely depends on the business and what kind of open space is at play, said Holland and Clegg. They believe what all businesses can agree on is that even the slightest development can benefit open spaces. Housing developers carefully consider several factors such as topography, flood plains and walkability when planning open spaces, according to Holland and Clegg. In turn, this can benefit both open spaces and developers alike, as planning around riparian corridors reduces the possibility of flooding and development in natural corridors. As for smaller-scale urban infill projects, developers work closely with the city’s Urban Forestry Management department, which serves to protect Fort Worth’s trees while development is underway. After adopting its first urban forestry master plan earlier this year, the city is currently exploring revisions to its urban forestry ordinance, according to Holland and Clegg. The revisions would include incentives designed to encourage developers to set aside more open space in their development. Developers are confident that they can maintain open space while also complementing these areas with a light touch of development, the pair said. “Ultimately, these developers recognize the value of highly amenitized open spaces — both public and private — not only for the benefit of residents but also as a feature that enhances the overall appeal and success of the development,” said Holland and Clegg. Fort Worth has more open space than it is often credited with, Holland and Clegg said. However, in the nonprofit Trust for Public Land’s park score report — ranking cities based on their parks and walkability — Fort Worth has consistently scored low on amenities, equity and investment , ranking 91st out of the country’s 100 largest cities in 2024. The city is currently developing a master plan for the city’s parks system. That score does not account for Fort Worth ISD’s open space areas and privately owned but publicly accessible property, Holland and Clegg said. “This can create the false impression that Fort Worth lacks quality or quantity in open spaces, which is far from true,” said Holland and Clegg. “Fort Worth boasts a remarkable variety and abundance of open spaces.” What Fort Worth residents should keep in mind, they said, is that when it comes to balancing land conservation and development, open space initially starts as privately owned land. More than 95% of land in Texas is privately owned — higher than most other states across the country. “Maintaining ownership of vacant land can be costly, as it often generates no income but incurs expenses, including taxes. Many property owners work hard to preserve their land, hoping to eventually develop it and achieve a return on investment,” said Holland and Clegg. “It would be misguided to view these vacant tracts as permanent open space or discourage owners from developing their land.” In fact, attracting business and developers into the city is crucial given Fort Worth’s relatively low commercial tax base compared to similarly sized cities, they said. Business growth would increase tax revenue, which could go toward sourcing the city’s public open space. “This collaborative strategy could create economies of scale, enabling the acquisition of larger tracts of land to establish even larger open spaces,” said Holland and Clegg. However, Docker says the city intends on acquiring open spaces that are preserved with light amenities such as trails and nature observation. Fort Worth officials are currently updating the 2022 economic development program, which will include more revisions to reflect the city’s open space contribution incentive, according to Parker. The strategic plan will go to the City Council next year for final approval of a formal incentive policy. Nicole Lopez is the environmental reporter for the Fort Worth Report.

Mega Millions jackpot reaches $489M ahead of Thanksgiving: When's the next drawing?Trump says he 'can't guarantee' tariffs won't raises prices, he won't restrict abortion pills: Top takeawaysNetwork completed in partnership with Escambia River Electric Cooperative brings high-speed internet to more than 12,000 rural homes and businesses KANSAS CITY, Mo. , Nov. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Conexon Connect , the internet service provider (ISP) formed by rural fiber broadband leader Conexon , has completed its first fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) project in the state of Florida , a 2,000-mile network launched in partnership with Escambia River Electric Cooperative (EREC). The Connect, powered by Escambia River Electric Cooperative, network marks the ISP's sixth FTTH network completion. With this milestone, Conexon Connect has successfully delivered fiber internet access to 12,000 EREC members across rural Escambia and Santa Rosa counties in northern Florida , bringing world-class, high-speed internet service to homes and businesses previously lacking reliable connectivity. The newly completed network enables residents to access essential online services including telemedicine, remote education and modern work opportunities. "Completing the fiber network across EREC's service area is another major step forward in our mission to bring connectivity to underserved communities nationwide," said Randy Klindt , Conexon Founding Partner and co-CEO. "We're proud to empower these areas with digital access to help drive innovation, opportunity and growth in Florida ." The Connect, powered by Escambia River Electric Cooperative, network provides members access to multi-gigabit-speed symmetrical internet capabilities, offering the same fast download and upload speeds, as well as reliable phone service. Fiber broadband technology also enables the benefits of smart grid capabilities to the co-op's electrical infrastructure. "Over the past two years, we've worked tirelessly to bring this critical infrastructure to every EREC member in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties," said Ryan Campbell , CEO of EREC. "Today, every member of our cooperative has access to fast, reliable internet, which is not just about improving connectivity – it's about enhancing quality of life, fostering economic growth and ensuring that no one in our community is left behind in the digital age. This project represents our commitment to providing not just electricity, but the tools that empower our members to thrive in an increasingly connected world. By partnering with Connect, we've been able to make a lasting impact on our community." Conexon's current impact in Florida spans five electric cooperatives' service territories – delivering Connect high-speed internet to members of Tri-County Electric Cooperative, Glades Electric Cooperative and EREC – and partnering with Central Florida Electric Cooperative and Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative as those co-ops build FTTH networks to serve their members with broadband. Collectively the co-ops' broadband project investment totals more than $260 million , with nearly 9,000 miles of fiber built to date, reaching well over 70,000 rural Floridians. "In rural areas across the state, there is only one group of people who truly care about getting broadband to every home in every rural area – not the telephone companies that have abandoned rural Florida , not the cable companies that never built to rural Florida – it is the rural electric cooperatives that have been serving their communities for over 85 years," said Conexon co-CEO Jonathan Chambers . "We are proud of the partnership we formed with Escambia River Electric Cooperative. In just eighteen months, we built a fiber broadband network to serve every member of the cooperative, a network that will last for decades to come." About Conexon Connect Conexon Connect, the fiber-to-the-home internet service provider (ISP) formed and operated by Conexon, is an emerging local broadband leader in rural communities across the country. Connect works predominantly with electric cooperatives and communities, building networks using Conexon's proven methodology and architecture that leverage existing infrastructure to power reliable and affordable 100 percent fiber broadband service for rural homes and businesses. Connect currently operates in Colorado , Florida , Georgia , Kentucky , Louisiana , Mississippi , and Missouri .

A Brand New Bathhouse is Open in Renton!Daily Post Nigeria Cross River: Shelve planned strike – Gov Otu begs labour over minimum wage Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport News Cross River: Shelve planned strike – Gov Otu begs labour over minimum wage Published on November 24, 2024 By Matthew Atungwu Cross River State Governor, Bassey Otu, has pleaded with labour unions in the state to shelve their planned industrial action over non-implementation of the new minimum wage. The governor reiterated his administration’s commitment to the implementation of the new wage of N70,000 recently signed into law by President Bola Tinubu. Governor Otu made the appeal during the 5th edition of the State Solemn Assembly held Saturday night at U.J. Esuene Stadium, Calabar. The governor, who was represented by his Deputy, Peter Odey, said his government would continue to prioritise the welfare of workers in the state. DAILY POST reports that labour unions in the state had on Wednesday issued notice of a 2-day warning strike scheduled to commence at midnight of Sunday. The unions attributed the planned action to the breakdown of negotiations between it and the government. The organised labour threatened that after the warning strike the industrial action would continue with a December 1 panned nationwide strike. “I appeal to the leadership of organised labour and all affiliates of the NLC (Nigeria Labour Congress) and TUC (Trade Union Congress) to suspend their planned strike. “I enjoin them to support the government in the quest to improve the lots of our people,’’ Otu said. He urged the people of Cross River to sustain their support and prayers for the administration to achieve its ‘People First’ mantra.
