Here we go again, another big, scary change coming to the platform that has Creators shaking in their boots. I'm talking about COPPA, the Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act. Now COPPA has been around for a while but not too long ago the FTC and YouTube got into things over whether or not YouTube was in violation of it. The results have a lot of channels - family, gaming, art, and many more - scared for their jobs, their livelihoods, and their homes on this platform. Today, I want to talk about the reality of COPPA going into 2020 and what we REALLY have to worry about and what we don't.

New rules on youtube starting January 2020 might drastically affect WWE wrestling youtube channels.
YouTube is not telling you the WHOLE TRUTH about COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act). And the consequences are disastrous … FTC fines of $42,530 per video, video de-publication, and worse … LOSS of YOUR CHANNEL. In today’s video, I take you through an in-depth history of COPPA,
YouTube & the FTC (Federal Trade Commission), including when the FTC fines YouTube. I tell you what you can expect from COPPA & YouTube as of January 1, 2020. I also breakdown the NEW COPPA YouTube rules and give you a COPPA YouTube update. As you may already know, if you get a YouTube
COPPA violation, you could lose your channel. So, you’ve got to practice solid YouTube COPPA compliance. Messing with YouTube COPPA FTC is no joke. You’re probably going to need legal representation if you suffer a YouTube FTC fine. That’s what I am here for -- to give you guidance on how to comply with YouTube COPPA law. Thanks for watching.

Show Me Christian County Project Announcement:
CoxHealth Announces Two New Clinics
for Christian County
Release Date: November 14, 2019
CoxHealth announced today their plans to build two new super clinics in Christian County: one in Nixa and the other in Ozark. Each facility will be its own unit, providing increased health care to Christian County residents, including primary care, urgent care, dedicated pediatric offices, and physical therapy.
The announcement comes as the result of collaboration with CoxHealth staff and many organizations and leaders throughout Christian County. “The City of Nixa is proud of the teamwork with CoxHealth, Show Me Christian County, and the Nixa Chamber of Commerce to help bring this project to our community,” says Nixa Mayor Brian Steele. “We are grateful and excited for the significant investment CoxHealth is making to offer not only next level health care but also more great jobs in Nixa.” Ozark Mayor Rick Gardner added, “Congratulations to CoxHealth. This is great news for Ozark, Nixa and all of Christian County.”
The Ozark super clinic will be located at US-65 and CC, while the Nixa super clinic will be constructed on US-160 just north of MO-14. Both facilities will replace the current primary care and urgent care facilities in both cities.
The City of Ozark is excited to announce work has begun to create a riparian corridor along the Finley River. A riparian corridor is a plant community that grows near or next to a body of water in the space between land and the bank. The riparian corridor at the Finley River Park will be approximately 50 to 60 feet wide and contain a variety of native tree, shrub, and herbaceous species.
The City was awarded a riparian corridor grant by the Missouri Department of Conservation to complete this project. The grant specifies that the City must maintain the riparian corridor for 15 years. A current estimated completion date is April 2020 and the project is now in its beginning stages.
“This is a great joint venture between the City of Ozark and the Missouri Department of Conservation,” Lana Baysinger, the City of Ozark’s horticulturist, said. “The City of Ozark is fortunate to have employees across all city departments working together to complete this monumental project.”
The riparian corridor will begin on the north side of Finley River Park beginning on City-owned land. Currently, there is an orange fence indicating the riparian zone. The City of Ozark asks that residents and visitors do not cross the fence or disturb the area.
Benefits of the project include a more stable stream bank, minimal to no erosion, and a more definitive pathway along the edge of the river. The wildlife will also discourage geese from walking into the park from the river bank.
New trees and shrubs will include 35 large growing, deciduous trees in open spaces between the bank and the new trail. These types of trees include oak, sugarberry, sycamore, blackgum, and tulip poplar. There will be numerous species of wildflowers planted behind the current fence.
“I am honored to work with the Missouri Department of Conservation in completing this project and look forward to working together on future projects,” Baysinger said.

An official ribbon cutting was held at The Workshop here in Ozark to celebrate the grand opening. The Workshop at Finley Farms is: "A coffee shop and space for makers to share their craft, friends to learn a new skill together, and families to make memories."
