The song Source of My Song Is a song that makes me think why I'm on this earth. It's to tell others about Jesus and how He loves you more than anybody else. Also to encourage people. So what's the source of your song?
The world will know that Jesus is the source of our song.
I love that line It does not depend upon my circumstances, so true, however it is so hard to learn. Everyday we must remind ourselves we don't deserve the Love of our Saviour.
Keep it Abigail. May God continue to use you!

Although still early in the championship, if eack team's discard so far is removed, Winning Group (John Winning Jr.) has a total of four points, to lead by just one point from Bing Lee (Micah Lane) and The Kitchen Maker-Caesarstone (Jordan Girdis) on 5. Asko Appliances (James Dorron) is next on 6 points, followed by Smeg on 7.
While a lot of attention has focesed on the 'Big 4' teams, the consistent The Kitchen Maker-Caesarstone is certainly capable of pushing the more-fancied teams over the remaining five races of the nationals.

The French Rhythmic Gymnastics Team will not take part at the 2016 Test Event!
11 Dec 2015 at 07:00
The French Rhythmic Gymnastics Team has refused to take part in the 2016 Olympic Test Event that will take place in April. They rejected the chance to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Games.
As three gymnasts announced their retirement this month the French Gymnastics Federation decided to withdraw from the Test Event.
"Taking into account the calendar and the difficulty of preparing a team in four months, the French Gymnastics Federation and the national technical staff have decided not to pursue the Olympic road," the Federation announced in a press release on Thursday. "France will therefore be absent from the Test Event."
The French Gymnastics Group was lucky to get the final qualification slot to the April's Test Event according to the result of the World Championships in Stuttgart. The Korean team earned the slot of the first reserve. Seven Rhythmic Gymnastics Groups will compete for four Olympic berths at the Test Event that will be held on April 22nd -24th at the Olympic venue in Rio. As host country of the 2016 Olympics, Brazil, which has qualified a Group to the Test Event, is guaranteed a place in Rhythmic Group competition at the Games.

In 2011, WACAP parent Kris Kittle welcomed home her 13-year-old daughter, adopted from China. Here, Kris offers some tips to families about how to build and strengthen emotional connections with children who've joined their families through adoption. Especially addressing parents who've adopted older kids, Kris acknowledges that love can be hard to feel sometimes … and that's okay.
Those who choose older child adoption face many distinct challenges. Many of the challenges are openly discussed as parents seek out advice and wisdom in how to address them.
One of the unique challenges parents may face, however, is not feeling love for their child, although this topic is rarely discussed. Few parents willingly admit they do not feel love for their child; those who do often receive judgment from others.
Admitting you do not feel love for your child is perceived as unacceptable because it runs counter to human nature, so why do so many experience it?
There are likely a variety of reasons, but consider this scenario: When an infant or young toddler joins your family, you see the sweet smile that melts your heart. You hear the contagious baby giggle. You know how much this treasured child depends on you for care and comfort. When the baby you've cherished becomes a preteen—who perhaps begins to exude an attitude—you still know and remember the sweet baby tucked behind the challenging exterior.
However, when you bring your child home as a preteen (or older), you do not have those memories of the sweet and precious baby. You see only the tough exterior, and you are not sure what is underneath. Often, it is difficult to look past the exterior to that hurt child hiding deep inside.
How can parents love their child when they lack the gushy loving feelings?
Adopting an older child is similar: You are entering into a relationship with a complete stranger who has their own experiences, personality, and likes and dislikes. Yet as their parent, you are expected to feel emotional love for them from the start.
Those emotional connections and feelings can develop, but it often takes time to feel that love. It will take time for your child to feel love for you, too. And they may never feel love for you. You have to accept that loving your child is not about what they do (or don't do), but who they are as your child.
2. Love is an action, not a feeling.
You can express love to your kids by meeting their needs.
You can show love by giving sincere, authentic praise every day (even if you have to look really hard to find something praise worthy).
You can show love through service such as teaching skills, such as how to cook, how to sort laundry, how to manage money, etc.
You can show affectionate touch by giving hugs, pats on the back, fist bumps, and high fives.
You can spend quality time with your child listening to them and doing activities together that your child enjoys.
Consider different types of activities that you have tried or want to try.
Reflective (example: meditation or positive self-talk).
Calming (example: reading or spending time in nature).
Creative (example: hand crafts or coloring).
Social (example: join a new group or go to a movie).
There are many ideas within each category, so search the internet for additional ideas.
Don't be afraid to try out new ideas.
Keep track of what works for you as well as what does not.
Make sure what you select is beneficial, not detrimental (such as overworking).
If taking time for yourself seems difficult, start with small increments of time and gradually increase it. Find what works best for you to take care of you.
Setting realistic expectations for yourself (and your child), acting out love by meeting your child's needs (even when you do not feel like it), and making sure you have energy to give are vital for you and your child.
Recommit to showing love to your child.
It can be hard, but you, your child, and your family are worth the effort.

Q: Darkened User Resizable Area C# WPF .NET-Core I'm trying to make a simple WPF application where you will be able to crop a video quickly and simply. I want it to look like and operate like how this website does it: https://clideo.com/crop-video

It darkens the video outside of the boundaries and has the rule of thirds guidelines. It can also be freely resized to any aspect ratio. Having the "grab" squares on the corners and sides would be nice but i am not too fussed about that :)
I've had a search already and came across this: http://csharphelper.com/blog/2014/12/let-user-move-resize-rectangle-wpf-c/
It operates great but if you look at the code it doesn't work very nicely and will be messy to implement the dark background I think, it is also from 2014 and there is probably a better way to do this in WPF nowadays. The only way I can think of doing the dark background is to have 4 dark rectangles on the top, right, bottom and left, resizing when you resize the crop area. There is most likely a better way to do this, hence why I am here.
In summary, I'm very new to WPF, not sure where to start, looking for some pointers :)

Learning the hard way: lessons from Vivian (1990) and Lothar (1999)
05.05.2017 | News WSL | News SLF
The windstorms Vivian (1990) and Lothar (1999) felled millions of trees in Switzerland. Trees are now growing at all windthrow sites. At higher elevations, however, the young forests often contain too many gaps to provide sufficient protection from natural hazards, as demonstrated by studies conducted by the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL, which have just been published in the Swiss Forestry Journal (SZF).
The forests devastated by the windstorms Vivian and Lothar are slowly recovering. Less so in higher elevation Vivian areas, where saplings after two decades are standing less dense than in lower elevation windthrow areas. Photo: Ulrich Wasem/WSL
Fierce winter storms have laid waste to Switzerland's forests time and time again over the past 150 years. 26 of these storms left at least 70,000 m3 of wood from broken or uprooted tree trunks in their wake. Three of them even resulted in over two million m3 of windthrown timber, namely the winter storm of 1967, Vivian/Wiebke (1990) and Lothar (1999). "Meteorologists have not yet established a growing trend of heavier storms in Switzerland", says forest scientist Tilo Usbeck, but "intense storms that cause significant damage to forests will also strike in the future".
Regeneration inventory at 90 sites affected by windthrow
20 years after Vivian and 10 years after Lothar Thomas Wohlgemuth and his team conducted a one-time regeneration inventory at 90 windthrow sites. Recent analysis of the data indicates that a new forest has grown at virtually all sites. On average, a sapling has grown on almost every square metre in areas at low elevations affected by Lothar in the Central Plateau, the Jura Mountains and the alpine foothills. In contrast, sapling density after two decades is only half as high in the storm in the areas at higher elevations affected by Vivian, which primarily hit forests in the Alps. Regeneration is less widespread here, particularly in large windthrow areas. Regeneration was somewhat more frequent in areas where the uprooted trees had been removed than in those where the timber had been left untouched. Wohlgemuth also noted that the height of the ten tallest trees per windthrow area was almost identical: 6.5 metres after a decade in lower-lying areas vs. 6.3 meters after two decades in the mountains. Areas affected by Vivian have mostly been repopulated with conifers, whilst broadleaf trees are more common in areas hit by Lothar. For Wohlgemuth, one conclusion from the inventory is that removing windthrown timber has a surprisingly positive effect on regeneration density. The bare soil left behind after clearing offers an ideal seedbed for the germination of most tree species .
Long-term research spotlights the potential of forest regeneration
Researching the slow natural development of forests after a storm requires patience. Peter Brang has analysed the data collected over the past 10 to 20 years from 19 sites affected by Vivian and Lothar, which have been monitored since they were hit by the windstorms (i.e. since 1990 and 2000). Brang found between 500 and 6,000 saplings per hectare at these sites. The lower values are particularly worth noting here, as 500 saplings only constitute a sparse forest and are not sufficient to protect a subjacent area from natural hazards. After 20 years, planted spruce trees were, on three Vivian sites, on average 1.0 to 2.4 metres taller than saplings grown from seeds fallen after the windthrow. Brang concluded that if there are not many saplings in major protection forests after a storm, it is advisable to extensively clear the sites, build preventive structures and plant saplings in groups. In other forests, several reasons speak for partial clearance with one-off planting at most.
Vivian sites still offer little protection
25 years on from Vivian, there is still no conclusive assessment of the protective effect of windthrow sites at elevations higher than 1,400 metres above sea level. Woody debris increased the surface roughness in the windthrow areas and thus provided effective protection from avalanches and rockfall in the initial years following the storm. Nevertheless, after 20 years the lying stems have settled at some 40% of their original height, as seen on the largest windthrow area at Cavorgia (Disentis, GR). Furthermore, as the density of the young trees is initially low and there are also places without trees, such areas offer poor protection from natural hazards. This was shown in studies conducted by Peter Bebi from the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF in Davos . He thus advises planting saplings in such gaps early on.
Switzerland is intensively investigating the consequences of a storm
Immediately after the Vivian (1990) and Lothar (1999) windstorms, the economic damage caused by the natural phenomena was at the forefront of many a discussion. WSL, the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) and a range of other partner institutions have since extensively investigated the consequences of Vivian and Lothar and have published a number of decision-support tools. Forest managers and researchers have also learnt lessons from dealing with windthrow areas, especially in protection forests, and are now better equipped to act should similar situations arise in the future. Thanks to these results, there is now a relevant quantification that can be used as a reference for assessing forest regeneration after windthrow in Central Europe. We are learning the hard way, as the saying goes.
In the May edition of the Swiss Forestry Journal (SZF), scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL outline their findings in several articles on the frequency of winter storms and forest development in windthrow areas in Switzerland. Experts from the Cantons of Bern, Grisons and Valais, FOEN, the Forestry Education Center Maienfeld and the Fachstelle für Gebirgswaldpflege (the specialist centre for mountain forestry) also contributed to this special edition. Scientists from the University of Freiburg, the Forest Research Institute of Baden-Württemberg and the Northwest German Forestry Research Institute supplement articles from Switzerland with their own research findings and an up-to-date summary of the specialist literature.

But considering the life style, life, consumer preferences can be a person with high accuracy to assign it to categories kovatorov, Conservative or any of the intermediate groups. Often enough only cursory study of human habitation in order to understand its relation to innovation. This summer the agency market research Quans Research conducted a large federal study using psychographic ethnographic techniques. The aim of the study was to segment the market of household appliances and electronics, and one of the special problems – the study of the influence of the degree of innovation or conservatism on consumer behavior in this market. The survey studied 1600 households in 25 major Russian cities.
Visiting homes in the sample of households, closely monitors studied their way of life, and then conducted interviews with members of the psychographics of these families. According to the results issledovniya was found very clear relationship level 'sovemennosti' way of life and innovative orientation of respondents. Literally, the owners of apartments and houses to the lack of modern household appliances and electronics? Show positions of principle on new products. In contrast, innovators home filled with today's complex devices. It confirms the idea that the propensity for innovation or conservatism is almost always reflected in consumption.
Followers of the majority. Innovators and conservatives – it is 'extreme', small groups of target the audience market. Between these categories of consumers, there are other, intermediate segments: early and late followers, early and late majority. Various authors comprise a different number of subsegments, and some even manage to universalize the calculation of shares of the target audience, falling to these segments.

# Helm Charts for Lenses, Lenses SQL Runners and Apache Kafka Connect and other components

This repo contains Helm Charts Apache Kafka components

Add the repo:

```bash
helm repo add lensesio https://lensesio.github.io/kafka-helm-charts/
helm repo update
```

## Stream Reactor

[Stream-reactor](https://github.com/lensesio/stream-reactor) and Kafka Connectors any environment variable beginning with ``CONNECT`` is used to build the Kafka Connect properties file, the Connect cluster is started with this file in distributed mode. Any
environment variable starting with ``CONNECTOR`` is used to make the Connector properties file, which is posted into
the Connect cluster to start the connector.

## Lenses

Documentation for the Lenses chart can be found [here](https://docs.lenses.io/install_setup/deployment-options/kubernetes-deployment.html).

## Lenses SQL runners

Documentation for the Lenses SQL Runner chart can be found [here](https://docs.lenses.io/install_setup/advanced-config/sql-config.html).

## SSL/SASL

The connectors support SSL and SASL on Kafka. For this you need to provide the base64 encoded contents of the key and truststores.

The key/truststores added to a secret and mounted into /mnt/secrets

For SASL, you need to provide the base64 encoded keytab file contents. Note that the keytab path in the jaas.conf must be set to /mnt/secrets.

If the connector, for example, Cassandra requires SSL, provided the base64 contents for the key/truststores. They will be mounted into /mnt/connector-secrets and any connector config parameters are set automatically.

For connectors supporting TLS, the certs will be mounted via secrets into /mnt/connector-secrets and any connector config parameters are set automatically

### FOR BASE64 encoding

Make sure to ***not*** include split lines.

```openssl base64 < client.keystore.jks | tr -d '\n' ```

# Building/Testing

Run ``package.sh`` this in turn calls ``scripts/lint.sh`` which will perform linting checks on the charts and also check we aren't going to overwrite existing charts.

If all good, checkin, tag and push the ```docs`` folder. This charts are hosted on the github page.

# Contribute

Contributions are welcome for any Kafka Connector or any other component that is useful for building Data Streaming pipelines

# Signing
For integrity we sign the Helm Charts. For more information see this document https://helm.sh/docs/topics/provenance/.

The steps to do so are as follows:

* Create a GPG key, and follow the steps to create it noting the name of the key which is later used for signing the charts.
```
  gpg --full-generate-key
```
* then export the key
```
  gpg --export-secret-keys > key.gpg
```
* encrypt the key following the manual steps in this doc https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/encrypting-files/
```
  openssl aes-256-cbc -k "HELM_KEY_PASSPHRASE" -in key.gpg -out key.gpg.enc
```
* And commit the key.gpg.enc to Git.

The ```package.sh``` then needs to be updated with the key name, and an environment variable ```HELM_KEY_PASSPHRASE```
created in the travis build settings with the pass phrase used to encrypt the key.

A bipartisan, common-sense policy that will protect animals is in the works. The Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act was reintroduced a few weeks ago by Reps. Vern Buchanan (R) and Ted Deutch (D), both of Florida, in an effort to close loopholes in current animal cruelty law. Vern and Ted, you rock.
This act will make some of the most extreme animal cruelty acts a federal offense if committed on federal land or in connection with interstate commerce. "The torture of innocent animals is abhorrent and should be punished to the fullest extent of the law," Buchanan said in a statement.
Currently, all 50 states prohibit malicious acts of animal cruelty as felony offenses, which can be prosecuted by the states where they are caught. But the aim of this new law is to give federal prosecutors the ability to pursue charges against those who commit abuses in national parks or on military bases, reserves or any other federal lands. The same goes for animal cruelty when it involves abused animals crossing state lines.
"Federal prosecutors are saying that there is no legal recourse when there's a crime on federal property, this is a common-sense measure." said Tracie Letterman, the vice president of federal affairs for the Humane Society Legislative Fund. "It's talking about extreme animal cruelty. It's not kicking a puppy. We're talking about serious bodily injury," Letterman said of the targeted abuse.
The PACT Act would also amend a federal law that outlaws the creation and distribution of videos which show animals being killed, mutilated or tortured. Thus, showing the abuse in the videos would be a federal crime as well (currently it only applies to when the video was being produced).
The U.S. Senate has unanimously passed the PACT Act twice before, and it earned 284 bipartisan House cosponsors and over 200 law enforcement endorsements in the previous session of Congress. But in the House, the measure was blocked from coming to the floor by former Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., who, most thankfully in my opinion, is no longer in Congress. So let's keep the momentum going and get this thing passed!
My name is Miller. I am a handsome two year young Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix (Pomahuahua?) who was rescued from a puppy mill. Puppy mills are cruel too and therefore I strongly endorse the PACT Act. Love always wins and so it has in my case. Despite my history, and once I get to know you, I am cuddly and affectionate as well as playful with people and dogs. I would feel best in a home with a secure fence and family who are accepting of my special dietary needs. Valentine's Day is only a week away – let me dazzle you with my devotion – come meet me today.


A Kent County Council decision to buy the former Royal School for Deaf Children in Margate has been approved.
Discussions regarding the acquisition of the property took place last week (September 8).
The aim is to use the site to help meet the need for secondary school places on the isle. Any surplus at the Victoria Road plot could be sold on.
It is believed the site could become a new secondary free school, according to proposals laid out in the county council's Commissioning Plan for Education 2017-2021.
The authority's plan says a decade of rising numbers at Thanet primary schools will begin to impact on secondary places significantly from 2019-20.
The report says: "KCC will commission up to 8FE (form entry) of provision during the period 2019-2022. This is expected to be via a new Free School and KCC is currently working with the Education Funding Agency (EFA) and Thanet District Council to identify a suitable site for the new school.
"Workshops have taken place with potential sponsors in order to encourage Free School applications to the Department for Education in Wave 12 or Wave 13.
The period for applications in Wave 12 and 13 has now passed.
Total secondary school rolls for the isle are expected to increase from 6,325 in 2016-17 to 7,994 in 2022- 23, with a shortfall of 183 Year 7 places predicted for September 2019.
This rises to 227 places by 2022-23 and for years 7 through to 11 the total shortfall by 2022-23 is predicted to be 920 places unless action is taken.
New primary schools are also earmarked for developments at Westwood Cross and Manston Green; either Westgate or Birchington, two requested for the Stone Hill Park (Manston Airport) development and some expansion is expected at St Gregory's RC Primary School in Margate.
The Royal School for Deaf Children was shut down suddenly in December 2015 after The John Townsend Trust, which ran it, went into administration.
The distressing closure of the school and Westgate College resulted in some 500 job losses and scores of children left without a specialist school placement.
The Royal School for Deaf Children was the oldest in the country, dating back to 1876.
The site features around 120,000 sq ft of school buildings, including former student housing, hydrotherapy pool and gym.
It was placed on the property market in October 2016.
According to KCC documents the agreement means terms can now be finalised to buy the school site.
Although the price to be paid is not revealed the documents state it is a decision "about expenditure … over £1,000,000," and marketing details for the site state: "recent local land sales (have achieved) upwards of £700,000 per acre. The RSDC comprises 14.7 acres – meaning a speculative price of circa £10million.

>> May
Texas Sees a Plethora of Dangerous Tornadoes Flood the Month of May
From early to late May, multi-day storms hit Texas, Oklahoma, and up through the Iowa and Kansas northern plains, bringing with them tornadoes and heavy flooding. Each storm seemed consistent with similar features of rain, lightning strikes and tornadoes, bringing some towns to their knees. In addition, these storms and tornadoes left a path of destruction including the evacuation of city areas, and closures of airports, government buildings, college campuses, and highways. These storms were also responsible for damaging and destroying homes, flipping cars and damaging buildings, leaving many hospitalized and several killed during this dangerous and damaging month of May.
Storm chasers were out en masse and weather reporters identified more than 70 tornadoes ranging from EF-1 up to some EF-3 with 165 mph winds delivering havoc where they travelled. Even Nashville and Arkansas saw EF-2 tornadoes with upwards of 135 mph winds destroying a mobile home park and killing two. The National Weather Service reported that the city of Van, Texas received the most damage where residents in this near Dallas suburb were given mere minutes to find shelter after hearing the tornado siren sound. Approximately 30% of the town was destroyed including up to 100 homes and many people were left injured. The storm that traveled through Van was only one of many that swept across north Texas and parts of the plains on Sunday, bringing with it reported tornadoes and heavy flooding.
We recommend staying tuned into your local news, weather.com and the NOAA weather radio for up to the minute forecasts in your areas. June appears to have some of the same types of storms possibly on the horizon. Stay informed and stay safe.

"The future of the planet concerns all of us, and all of us should do what we can to protect it. " Wangari Maathai.
"The science of forestry arose from the recognition of a universal need. It embodies the spirit of service to mankind in attempting to provide a means of supplying forever a necessity of life and, in addition, ministering to man's aesthetic tastes and recreational interests. Besides, the spiritual side of human nature needs the refreshing inspiration which comes from trees and woodlands. If a nations saves its trees, the trees will save the nation. And nations as well as tribes may be brought together in this great movement, based on the ideal of beautifying the world by the cultivation of one of God's loveliest creatures – the tree." ~ Richard St. Barbe Baker.

Afforestation Carbon Sinks
Introducing a climate change periodical, Energy Mix speaking about afforestation as carbon sink.
By sequestering carbon in timber, soil, and biomass, newly-planted forests can reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide by 18.06 gigatons
Drawdown as republished in EnergyMix
And it is possible for afforestation to be carried out in ways that are healthy and restorative to local ecologies….the work of Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, …cultivates zones dense with native species that grow quickly and foster biodiversity. His plots respond to "human needs for … food, and medicine," …offering flood and drought protection where little existed before.

Today is #ThankfulThursday, December 3.
What is there to be thankful for this #thankfulthursday? The Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc. are grateful and thankful for everyone who gave support via online nominations or by donations to these wonderful urban regional parks on #GivingTuesday!
December 4 is Wildlife Conservation Day which is something absolutely wonderful to be in gratitude for. Saskatoon is blessed to have a semi-wilderness corridor where over a dozen species at risk have been found, and the users and stakeholders in the afforestation area are committed to their protection. It is great that there is no hunting and no poaching allowed in these urban regional parks. Become familiar with TIPPS, any the SK Environment poaching and polluter fines. In an era where agricultural land, and urban expansion has left zoos and conservation areas for wildlife, it is absolutely phenomenal that the 326 acre Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area and the 127.8 acre George Genereux Urban Regional Park still afford glimpses of wildlife inside the City of Saskatoon. For these we are all grateful.
It is a great time of year to be thankful for United Nations World Soil Day on December 5. Saskatoon is in a fortunate position as the afforestation areas serve as filtration system for the waters of the West Swale which percolate through the forest floor where the water undergoes an amazing filtration system designed by Mother Nature herself. So as the West Swale enters the South Saskatchewan River watershed, the afforestation areas have cleaned the water draining through the West Swale tributary into the river just upstream from the city water intake.
Climate change: what forests and forest soils do
"Carbon emissions are a major contributor to climate change. The world´s forests, in one of their many roles, act as a significant carbon store. 650 billion tonnes of carbon, or nearly one third of the total in terrestrial ecosystems, are captured in forests. Forest soils also store a quantity of carbon equalling that of the global forest biomass, about 45 percent each. An additional ten percent of carbon is found in forest dead wood and litter. In total, forests store as much carbon as the atmosphere."
As we know from the warmer and drier years of the dirty thirties, trees and forests are needed to protect our soils! "In order to protect our soils, we need to protect our trees and forests." Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
"How you protect and manage forest soils affects your forests short- and long-term productivity and the water quality of adjoining streams and lakes, including their suitability for fish habitat and other uses." "U.S. Forest Service pdf
Thank you again to everyone who was in a position to help out or donate on #GivingTuesday, and we are indeed grateful for the many and varied important returns of the afforestation areas as amazing urban regional parks. Should you care to support the afforestation area Giving Tuesday here is the YouTube video for @GivingTuesdayCA.

Starting Over from great comments
We had some fantastic comments and input from our first input to the introduction of Our Forest Returns Saskatoon! We didn't start from the beginning, that's for sure. We started over on our YouTube video, indeed.
There is illegal trash dumping, and illegal trespass going on, so the Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc is an environmental charity seeking environmental protections in the form of motorized vehicle barriers and park identification signs to alleviate problems, and preserve the environment as first steps. This concept was developed at a community meeting held at City Hall with input from a varied segment of the people who live in the area, users of the afforestation areas and many stakeholders came out. See the minutes which provided the initial direction and were recorded by Trish from the Montgomery Place community which are online!
We appreciate all the input, and if you can nominate our charity for the GoreGiving campaign on social media ie. facebook or twitter, it would help so much, indeed!
@GoreMutual #GoreMutual . Thank you for your wonderful @GivingTuesdayCa campaign to give $5,000 to nominated charities. I nominate @FriendsAreas Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas for their dedication to 2 amazing urban regional parks, education & awareness programs
I nominate the Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas @FriendsAreas for the @GoreMutual Giveaway.

Can you help the Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc Charity? Gore Mutual is giving $5,000 to nominated charities! Can you send in a tweet to help the Saskatoon afforestation areas? Can you use Gore Mutual's social media channels, particularly those using the tags #GivingTuesdayCA and #GoreMutual using #GivingTuesdayCA #GoreMutual and mentioning how the Friends made a difference in your community. That is a terrific means to nominate the Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc. Charity! That would be an amazing act of kindness to celebrate the global movement @GivingTuesdayCa!
Can you spread the word to your friends and family? Become a Saskatoon Wild Forest Angel, [guardian – steward] and make a difference for nature in the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area and in George Genereux Urban Regional Park. The afforestation areas could really benefit from $5,000, and all you need to do to become a Saskatoon Wild Forest Angel is tweet your nomination! How easy is that! 😉
Wouldn't it be amazing to have a sign up saying Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area? Wouldn't it be delightful to have a park identification sign for George Genereux Urban Regional Park? What about those who dump trash in the park? Wouldn't it be great to have gates installed so that the buniuks who dump trash in a forest cannot get in? Can you help – all it takes is a tweet on twitter, and share with your friends and family to make a tweet also 😉
We imagine a safe, healthy naturalized afforestation ecosystem with the greater Saskatoon area committed to caring for and valuing the rich vibrant heritage and biodiversity for the long-term benefit of the general public and greater Saskatoon area.
"Our Forest Returns Saskatoon" is the Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc campaign for @GivingTuesdayCa which is in turn a global movement for giving and volunteering.

Climate Change Partnerships
"The world's forest ecosystems provide environmental services that benefit, directly or indirectly, all human communities, including watershed protection, regional climatic regulation, fibre, food, drinking water, air purification, carbon storage, recreation, and pharmaceuticals."
~ Ahmed Djoghlaf Executive Secretary Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
Climate change is affecting the world's ecosystems and threatening the economic system, livelihoods and availability of natural resources. Forest ecosystems can be carbon sources or sinks and are therefore integrated in international climate policy.
Christopher Reyer, Martin Guericke, and Pierre L. Ibisch. Faculty of Forest and Environment, University of Applied Sciences Eberswalde
As the largest storehouse of carbon after the oceans, forests already absorb and store about 30 per cent of current levels of carbon emissions from fossil fuels and industry into their biomass, soils and wood products, and have the potential to store much more. At present, however, about 12 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions are estimated to derive from deforestation, a process which is itself made more acute by the impacts of climate change. Forests can also help communities adapt to the impacts of climate change, stabilising and cooling local climates, including water flow and rainfall.
Duncan Brack Global Forest Goals – United Nations Forum on Forests
Canada plays an active and constructive role in the [United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change] UNFCCC negotiations and was a strong voice in the negotiations towards the establishment of the Paris Agreement.
Canada's current NDC (PDF) adopts a target to reduce its economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 30% below 2005 levels by 2030. Canada is required to submit its next NDC by 2025.
Canada has also stated that it will set a target to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
United nation Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement. Government of Canada.
"Who plants a tree loves others than himself" Richard St. Barbe Baker. For the love of trees.
With the growth and expansion of the City of Saskatoon; there is a need to act locally and think globally and honour Canada's commitment to the UNFCCC. "The projected total Saskatoon CMA population ranges from 406,209 to 496,083 in 2035. The surrounding municipalities' populations will grow by between 20,000 and 34,000 people. The total population of the surrounding municipalities is projected to grow from 41,703 in 2015 to between 62,000 and 75,000 by 2035." City of Saskatoon and Saskatoon Census Metropolitan Area Population Projection 2015 to 2035 The region's population could reach one million by 2063 according to CBC News And. further to this, CTV reports that Saskatoon is one of the fastest growing places in Canada"
How can the 326 acre Richard St Barbe Baker Afforestation Area and the 147.9 acre George Genereux Urban Regional Park help with climate change during this period of City of Saskatoon and P4G greater Saskatoon growth? The P4G The P4G consists of the Cities of Saskatoon, Warman, and Martensville, the Town of Osler and the Rural Municipality of Corman Park. There is no doubt about it, the afforestation areas are carbon sinks and help offset greenhouse gas emissions from the increased greyscape, urban population, and the attendant increase in greenhouse gases from this growth.
Did you know that one acre of trees produces enough oxygen to keep 18 people alive for one year! George Genereux Park at 147.9 acres would keep 2,662 persons alive per year. Richard St. Barbe Baker park at 326 acres would keep 5,868 persons alive each year. The current 2020 metro population of the City of Saskatoon is 325,000 persons. Of the Saskatoon census metropolitan area reaches 1/2 million by 2035 , then how many acres of trees would be needed?
One tree absorbs about 6 kilograms or 13 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. According to the University of Wisconsin; "One acre of trees absorbs 2.6 tons of CO2 per year". That's enough to offset CO2 produced by driving a car 41, 800 km (26, 000 mi) says "Trees in Trust" How many vehicles do an additional 500,000-325,000= 175,000 persons drive? How many acres of trees are needed to offset the CO2 produced by those vehicles?
Now what happens if the Saskatoon census metropolitan area reaches one million by 2063? Whereas the initial 660 acres of afforestation areas were preserved in perpetuity, there were planned in the afforestation policy another 2,200 acres in the long-term planting category. 660 acres- 330 acres – 147.9 acres=186 acres also preserved in perpetuity in Saskatoon.

Today, October 24 is United Nations Day and in 2009 the very first International Day of Climate Action was celebrated to draw attention to Climate Change before the annual Conference of the Parties in Copenhagen (COP15). Though there was no COP in 2020, the next COP26 UN climate change conference will showcase the 2021 Global Conference on Health and Climate Change. The main theme will be "Healthy and Ambitious Determined Contributions to the Paris Agreement" with special attention on Climate Justice. The 26th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 26) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will be held in Glasgow, United Kingdom.
October 24 is a day to personally take action and bring education and awareness to climate change. It means protecting and preserving the environment. October 24 is a day to learn about climate change and how it impacts our earth. October 24 is a day to take action, to recycle your used clothing, electronics, paint, dishes, paper, glass, aluminum and tires. It is a day to cooperate and bring attention to the environment and commemorate historic climate change leaders. Today is not only a day to remember the first International Day of Climate Change, but perhaps it is a time to take the HallowGreen Challenge! This Hallowe'en take climate action, and compost, recycle, reuse and reduce.
Tackling Climate Change is one of the calls to action under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
World Peace; International Peace
What a combination of events for October 24 – to remember the inaugural International Day of Climate Action, while celebrating United Nations Day! This year for United Nations Day, the theme was "Reimaging, Rebalance, Restart: Recovering together for our shared humanity." While you are out walking in the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area, and at George Genereux Urban Regional park, pay attention to nature, and the birds around you, and take a moment to appreciate "75 years of love" a concert celebrating the 75th anniversary of the United Nations!
Today Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, "Today, on United Nations Day, we recognize what we can achieve when countries around the world work together toward shared goals…..This year, we are facing some of the most critical challenges of our generation. We find ourselves in the midst of crises that know no borders, and our response will determine the future of our health, our environment, and our societies. Now, more than ever, we must act together as partners to address the serious issues before us – whether fighting the global COVID-19 pandemic, tackling climate change and protecting biodiversity, or ending poverty and inequality."
And, as Trudeau advocates, we do indeed "have an opportunity to work together to decide our future." Today, we will stand together on United Nations Day, and take action! What are some of the ways you can have a meeting or a workshop and help others around you take action on Climate Change? It is as easy as 1-2-3! Perhaps you wish to have climate change conversations, or start campaigning.

Waste Reduction Week is October 19 – 25 2020, the third week in October. Download your Waste Reduction Kit today! Donate clothes and household goods, and recycle them rather than letting them be destroyed in an amazing greenspace, the home to plants and animals. Can you be successful on the waste free challenge?
Write in the comments how you reduce your waste!
Check out the various ways you can help and learn to reduce waste with the Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council!
The facts that people use amazing urban regional parks for their waste and trash is deplorable. Volunteers removed waste amounting to more than 15,340 kg on the following days
3,410 kg Richard-St-Barb-Baker-Afforestation-Area October 3
2,660 kg from George Genereux Urban Park October 3
9,270 kg from George Genereux Urban Park September 19
15,340 kg in TOTAL which works out to 16.9 US tons – 33,818.9 pounds – 15.1 Imperial Tons – 15.34 tonnes
That is way, way too much garbage in a park where families, birdwatchers, hikers, cyclists, and nature lovers all come together to enjoy the landscapes and viewscapes. What must go through peoples heads to go into a forest greenspace and dump trash? Disgusting!
Please help spread the word, and help reduce waste!
Did you know that the Ministry of the Environment has a confidential Turn in Poachers and Polluters (TIPP) Anyone at all can report, and the webpage says how to do it safely, and still protect the environment! If you use and enjoy these greenspace urban regional parks, please use TIPPS. As a result of the two aforementioned clean ups, personal identification was found in the thrown away garbage, and reported. The identification was followed up on by authorities.

Tonnes of Elm Firewood Arrggh!
Dutch elm disease confirmed in Saskatoon's Montgomery Place neighbourhood was reported by Global News as well as by CBC news Dutch elm disease found in Saskatoon tree and 650 CKOM Dutch elm disease back in Saskatoon for the first time since 2015 on Sept 15 2020
The fact that Dutch Elm Disease, and the Dutch Elm beetle is so close to the two afforestation areas -George Genereux Urban Regional Park and Richard St. Barbe Baker Park- is a cause for concern.
Can you believe that Global News in a follow up report stated that Over 13 tonnes of elm firewood removed from Saskatoon properties
This is in addition to the elm found discarded in the afforestation areas during the community volunteer clean ups. During the afforestation of these urban regional parks as tree nurseries, the City of Saskatoon parks received advice from the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation administration on drought resistant and hardy trees, which included Elm. There is indeed Elm which were planted in 1972 in George Genereux Urban Regional Park and Richard St. Barbe Baker Park. The Dutch Elm Disease beetle could cause havoc in these two amazing afforested areas! Please take care and support our fundraiser!
nfortunately there have been those who are too lazy or too cheap to save the city's urban forests, and will not pay the landfill fees to dipose of their Elm leaves and branches properly in the landfill. Something must be done!
Facebook Fundraiser. STOP Dutch Elm Disease pandemic from entering the afforestation areas! Help protect this City of Saskatoon Urban Regional Park!
Help support this fundraiser to STOP Dutch Elm Disease pandemic from entering the afforestation areas!Always dispose of any elm wood at the City Landfill The fundraiser will go towards vehicle mitigation barriers and park identification signage to STOP illegal motorized trespass and illegal dumping! Please SHARE this fundraiser, taking care of trees is vitally important in this era of climate change! Protect our elms! Please share the Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc.

5 Top Deals on Cellphones and Mobile Plans for January
Kick off the new decade with these great offers on new devices, cheaper data and more.
Ella Wagner • January 4, 2020
Photo by Nick Starichenko / Shutterstock.com
The holidays might be over, but carriers are just getting their deals started. Take a look at our top picks for January's best deals!
If one of your New Year's resolutions is to save money, getting a new cellphone plan is a great place to start. Carriers change their plan offerings frequently, so if you've been on the same one for more than a year, you're (most likely) losing money.
If you need a new phone as well, you can still get a great deal. Since most carriers want to keep you as their customer for as long as possible, they're willing to offer you huge incentives (e.g., a free iPhone 11) to keep you around. See below for January's best deals and the important details that go along with them.
1. Get an iPhone 11 for $15/month
Didn't get the iPhone 11 you were hoping for this holiday season? No biggie, Sprint's got that covered! For a limited time, get a brand new iPhone 11 for just $15/month for 18 months.
Here's how the deal works: Switch to Sprint, trade in an eligible device (like that old iPhone 6s you have lying around), lease an iPhone 11, and pay monthly lease installments for 18 months. After that, you can give it back, pay it off or trade up. Sweet deal, right?!
2. Just $25 per month for 3 months
The holidays might be a wrap, but Mint Mobile's still bringing the heat! They're offering up to 40% off their best mobile plan for three whole months! That's 12GB of 4G LTE data for just $15 per month — a $60 savings! Plus, who wouldn't want to forget about their mobile bill for a few months? Plus-plus, just putting this out there, but did you know Ryan Reynolds just bought an ownership stake in Mint Mobile? Is it hot in here?
What is Mint Mobile? It's an MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) that runs off the network of better-known T-Mobile to deliver 4G LTE data to your device, at a better price.
3. Up to $700 off an iPhone XS Max
We know you're attached to your dusty old smartphone, but did you know you can ditch it and get up to $700 off a brand new iPhone XS Max? All you have to do is switch to AT&T on an unlimited data plan, trade in an eligible device, and buy your iPhone XS Max on an AT&T 30-month installment plan.
Here's how it works: Your discount will come to you in the form of monthly billing credits, which is why you need to buy your new iPhone XS Max on an installment plan. On top of that, you're signing up for one of the biggest networks in the nation, getting unlimited data with streaming perks and ridding yourself of that old device. What AT&T gets out of it is you, a new customer, for 30 months, so it's a win for them too.
4. Free Samsung Galaxy A10e
Okay, so you went over your budget a little (or a lot) this holiday season, but you still need a new phone — so get a free one from Verizon. Is there such a thing as a free phone? There is if you need a mobile plan anyway, and we're guessing you do.
Unlike other phone deals, there's no trade-in required with this one. All you have to do is switch to Verizon and buy your new Samsung Galaxy A10e on a 24-month installment plan. Verizon gets a new customer for 24 months, you get a new phone (for free), and you'll be switching to the biggest network in the nation. That's a steal.
5. No credit, no problem with these plans
Skip the credit check and head over to Verizon's prepaid plans. If you enroll in AutoPay on a monthly prepaid plan, Verizon will even double the data you've paid for, for the life of your line. Feel free to bring your own compatible phone or buy a new one. Verizon's prepaid phone prices are crazy-low, so make sure to browse their selection.
On top of that, you'll get a $5 per month AutoPay discount. That means if you sign up for Verizon's 8GB plan at $45 per month, you'll pay just $40 per month for 16GB of 4G LTE data! You can use your data on your phone and/or via a hotspot. Your unused data will carry over to the next month, and (of course) you'll get unlimited talk and text too. You're welcome!
