NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., April 24, 2014 — FedEx Corp. and the Arbor Day Foundation announced today the launch of the Community Tree Recovery program, which will connect disaster-stricken communities with the resources needed for sustainable recovery and community healing.
Designed to be the national resource for communities to turn to as they seek to restore their trees in the aftermath of natural disaster, the Community Tree Recovery program provides the structure and capacity to address multiple disasters annually, distributing seedling trees to afflicted communities nationwide. During the last few months, the program has already provided trees for towns in New Jersey still reeling from the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy and neighborhoods in Colorado rebuilding from the devastating 2012 wildfires. Through this Arbor Day Foundation program, FedEx – as national sponsor — will enhance sustainable recovery efforts for these communities in the months and years to come.
FedEx support for the Arbor Day Foundation, which includes a million-dollar, multi-year sponsorship, follows a long tradition of FedEx connecting communities with the resources needed to address disaster in all phases: readiness, relief and recovery. Through the collaboration with the Arbor Day Foundation, FedEx will provide leadership and resources to help disaster-stricken communities build a critical foundation to long-term, sustainable recovery.
Much like a family's local roots, trees are also part of the vibrant, living foundation of communities – playing a critical role in community health, social and economic vitality, local ecology and environmental sustainability. Not only can their loss be emotionally devastating for communities who have already lost so much in a disaster, failure to properly restore community trees can impede a community's full recovery with numerous consequences down the line.
Air Supply: Communities need to restore trees to provide the very air they breathe. Trees combat the greenhouse effect and provide oxygen by absorbing CO2 in the atmosphere. One acre of forest is enough to meet the needs of 18 people annually.
Healthier Lives: By restoring trees, communities will ensure their residents live healthier, cleaner lives. By filtering out harmful pollutants, studies show that urban trees and forests are saving an average of one life every year per city.
Wildlife Recovery: Communities will only see local wildlife recover when they restore their trees, as trees provide homes for birds, bees, squirrels and other urban wildlife.
Risk Mitigation: Communities that restore trees will mitigate future risks like soil erosion and water pollution, as trees provide natural protection from the elements and help reduce the possibility of flooding.
Financial Value: By investing in tree replanting, homeowners can reduce financial costs from utility bills and improve real estate values. A well-planted property and surrounding neighborhood can increase property value by as much as 15%.
The Community Tree Recovery program leverages community partners and on-the-ground specialists to directly help communities recover and restore their urban forests. The bulk of this aide focuses on providing high-quality seedlings to homeowners to plant on private property – where the majority of community trees reside, providing the greatest overall impact. In this manner, the program directly reaches homeowners overwhelmed with numerous obstacles in the recovery phase, providing the resources and education to recover the community's lost trees.
Following a natural disaster, the Arbor Day Foundation will assess its response plans against a formalized set of environmental and social filters used to determine when and how the program is activated. During the early stages of relief and recovery, the Arbor Day Foundation will work with FedEx and numerous local partners – including state foresters and city officials – to assess damage and needs, and determine a plan for storm clean-up, tree restoration and tree recovery. The program will formalize a campaign to address the needs of identified communities, including asking local business to join FedEx in donating trees and volunteers. In addition to local campaigns, the program also has a general seedling reserve fund – supported in part by FedEx – which can be leveraged to respond to pressing recovery needs.
Additional details about the program and the local campaigns underway can be found at www.arborday.org/takeaction/community-tree-recovery.

I really didn't think this App would work, but it did and the kids had a great time going around the house finding metal objects. It was a good learning experiment about what was metal, and what was plastic painted to look like metal. Grandpa has had a knee replacement, and yep, the kids freaked him out by telling him which one it was using Metal Detector.
The Android can do this because of the compass mechanism and it doesn't work on all types of metal. Some people will have a real need for an App like this, for others it is just a great party App. My kids can't wait to take it to the beach, but that won't be happening!
I would love to tell you I've never, not even once, lost my cell phone. However, that would be a lie. I conveniently seem to lose it when the ringer has been turned off or down too. I walk around my house and car listening for the vibrating phone. Once I found my son had packed into his toy chest when he was done playing a game. Nice.
1. Turns on the ringer to high volume so you can look for the phone. Text the code "Wheres my droid" to the phone.
2. If you still can't find your phone it will send the GPS corrdinates back to you.Text "GPS my droid".
3. The paid version ($1) comes with a few additional features, most notably it adds a custom Button to your home screen that allows anyone who finds your phone to find your contact info.
Of course with this app, your phone has to actually be on AND lost. I love that the developer of this app is a college student just doing what he loves. I will definitely be getting the paid version of this app! He has a few instructional videos here that will help you get started.
Having a few good time killing games on your Android is imperative, right? Word Up! is a great choice and you get to use your brain a little bit too. It is basically an Android version of Boggle. A grid is presented with letters. Drag your fingers over the connecting letters to make words. Use the menu to ROTATE the puzzle and view the letters from a different perspective. When you are done your score is given and the present of words on the puzzle you found. You can also see a full list of words, including those you didn't discover.
This is a really well done game, and one of the better FREE word games I have seen. On the settings screen you can also change the timing and screen layout by adding a bigger word grid. It was a little difficult for my young children, but kept my husband and I busy for a bit.
Garage Sale Rover is a really handy App for scoping out your weekend bargain hunting! The App takes Craigslist garage sale ads in your area (based on your location) and creates a handy visual reference guide. By clicking on the Red Garage Sale Rover balloon more information is given along with the full address details. Even the entire Craigslist add if you want. With the paid version the App give you turn by turn navigation directions to the site.
Sure you could just open the browser on your Android and navigate through the the tiny links and scroll through all the ads in your city. Or do like did, and manually search through Craigslist and add them to my Google Maps to use late when I'm driving. But Garage Sale Rover will make all that a thing of the past! This is a must have App for those who love estate and weekend sales!
My Days is a great App for Women and is exclusive to Android. Trying to get pregnant or trying to avoid getting pregnant? Or just a women who wants to plan ahead? My Days is a very simple App that you will love. Once the App is installed you can enter the start day of last menstrual cycle. The App will guesstimate your fertile days and next start date based on that. Each month you enter the exact date it started and the App will figure out your regular cycle.
My Doctor always asks "Date of you last period?" and for the first time ever in my life I could answer it accurately thanks to My Days. If you are a Mother with daughters and keep track of that sort of thing, you can have multiple accounts on one phone to track them. I also like how you can add Notes to any day here. The only thing I can think that would make it better is adding a subtle note to Google Calendar!

The subject of comedic duos dominated the conversation when I had the pleasure of sitting down with Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly last month to discuss their work together on Stan And Ollie. Recognizing that both actors have had very strong comedic working relationships in the past, most notably with Rob Brydon and Will Ferrell, respectively, I was curious how they were able to learn from those bonds, as they were enthusiastic in their response.
For John C. Reilly, his work with Will Ferrell is what immediately came to mind, specifically movies like Step Brothers and Talladega Nights, but the actor pointed out that he's actually done quite a bit of two-hander work with a lot of different talents, citing not only his live-action film work, but also animation and stage.
John C. Reilly: Definitely the partnerships of my past work, and I've had a million of them! A lot of different people: Sarah Silverman, Will Ferrell... Philip Seymour Hoffman and I did True West on Broadway, which is a total partnership play. So I was very familiar with what it took to be a good partner to someone. That said, working with Steve was very difficult, and much more difficult than some of my past partnerships. He's prickly. Prickly would be a nice way to put it.
John C. Reilly: Of course, it gives you confidence to know like, 'Well if I found chemistry with this person then, you know, maybe I can find it with this guy.' When you have the past as prologue, as they say.
John C. Reilly: Stan and Ollie weren't very precious about their work. It wasn't like they were method actors, or 'Oh, we only perform when it's perfect conditions.' At the drop of a hat they performed for people in public. They saw fans that liked them they'd start doing routines just to please people. So they were really kind of get-to-it sort of guys.
Steve Coogan: I got the feeling that when they worked in the studio, and the studio system sort of played to this a little, is they were on salary, and they clock on, do the job as best they can, and then clock off.
The discussion I had with Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly on this subject was a great one, and you can watch their back and forth in action by clicking play on the video below.
Directed by Jon S. Baird, Stan & Ollie begins with the titular duo later in their careers, their star not quite as bright as it was during their heyday. In hopes of reigniting their brand, they embark on a theatre tour of Britain, and use the time to try and not only improve their act, but also their friendship. In addition to Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly, the film also stars Shirley Henderson, Nina Arianda, and Danny Huston - and is now playing in limited release.

Description: The field of educational psychology draws from a variety of diverse disciplines including human development across the life span, measurement and statistics, learning and motivation, and teaching. And within these different disciplines, many other fields are featured including psychology, anthropology, education, sociology, public health, school psychology, counseling, history, and philosophy. In fact, when taught at the college or university level, educational psychology is an ambitious course that undertakes the presentation of many different topics all tied together by the theme of how the individual can best function in an "educational" setting, loosely defined as anything from pre-school through adult education. Educational psychology can be defined as the application of what we know about learning and motivation, development, and measurement and statistics to educational settings (both school- and community-based).

Q: Extra line break and horizontal space at \begin{document} I am trying to insert some text right at the beginning of the document with \AtBeginDocument while using lualatex and the fontspec package
\documentclass{article}
\AtBeginDocument{X}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\AtBeginDocument{X}
\begin{document}
X
\end{document}

The output is

X
X_X

where the _ is really a space. If I remove the fontspec package my MWE produces

XXX

with no spaces. This is what I want, but of course I also want to use fontspec. How do I figure out where the line break and space are coming from. Is there a reason that fontspec does this?

A: fontspec sets up a lot of stuff in the begin document hook, if you modify your example to
\documentclass{article}
\makeatletter
\AtBeginDocument{X}
\show\@begindocumenthook
\usepackage{fontspec}
\show\@begindocumenthook
\AtBeginDocument{X}
\begin{document}
X
\end{document}

Then TeX stops with
> \@begindocumenthook=macro:
->X.

the first time, but then after loading fontspec it shows
> \@begindocumenthook=macro:
->\RequirePackage {graphics}X\clist_map_inline:Nn \@filelist {\seq_gput_right:N

and something in that is making a paragraph break.
The easiest thing to do is make sure you load fontspec before or (much better) after adding any text, unless your real use case mean the easy option is not available. Note that the text set before fontspec's code is set before it has set up the fonts, so probably wrong anyway in general.

El hôtel d'Estrées es un hôtel particulier ubicado en París en el VII Distrito de París, en el número 79 de la rue de Grenelle que actualmente es la residencia del Embajador de Rusia en Francia.

Histórico
Fue construido entre 1711 y 1713 por Robert de Cotte, el primer arquitecto del rey, para Madeleine-Diane de Bautru de Vaubrun, viuda del duque de Estrées.

Tras la muerte de la duquesa, su sobrino y heredero Louis Antoine de Gontaut-Biron lo vendió a Charlotte-Aglaé d'Orléans, esposa de Francisco III de Módena, duque de Módena, hija del regente. El duque de Módena, tras la muerte de su esposa en 1761, la revendió a Anne-François d'Harcourt, marqués, luego duque de Beuvron.

Durante la Revolución francesa, estos últimos no emigraron y en el año VIII, sus herederos vendieron el hotel al general Henri Jacques Guillaume Clarke, duque de Feltre, ministro de Guerra bajo el Imperio, entre 1807 y 1814.

En 1823 fue adquirida por la duquesa de Tourzel, nacida Louise Elisabeth de Croy d'Havré, cuyos herederos la vendieron en 1863, por 1,3 millones de francos, al gobierno imperial ruso, que instaló allí la embajada rusa.

Tras esta adquisición, se rediseñó considerablemente su distribución interiorpara las necesidades de la administración de la embajada.

La oficina del embajador y los apartamentos privados se encuentran en la planta baja y las salas de recepción en el primer piso. En la misma planta, en el ala derecha, estaban los apartamentos reservados para los invitados de honor,, disponibles para los miembros de la familia imperial que pasaban por París.

El emperador Alejandro II fue recibido allí para un baile por Napoleón III y la emperatriz Eugenia, con motivo de la Exposición Universal de 1867.

Nicolás II y la emperatriz Alexandra se alojaron allí durante su viaje oficial a París en octubre de 1896, La pareja ofreció una recepción al Presidente de la República Félix Faure y la Emperatriz presentó allí sus condolencias a la viuda de Sadi Carnot, asesinado por anarquistas dos años antes. También en esta ocasión, el Zar colocó la primera piedra del Puente Alejandro III

De 1924 a 1978 fue la Embajada de la URSS en Francia. En 1977, hubo una reunión entre Leonid Brézhnev y Georges Marchais, secretario general del PCF. Desde 1978, la sede de la Embajada de Rusia en Francia se encuentra en 40-50 boulevard Lannes, en el XVI Distrito de París y este edificio se convirtió en la residencia oficial del embajador.

Libre de toda contingencia, fue objeto de una restauración completa entre 1981 y 1982 realizada por un equipo de más de doscientos restauradores. La decoración original de principios XVIII había desaparecido por completo tras varias reformas sucesivas y la restauración interior fue reconstruida siguiendo el estilo del Segundo Imperio.

Arquitectura
Está diseñado de la misma manera que otros edificios del mismo período. Detrás de la enorme puerta semicircular se encuentra el patio principal pavimentado. El ático del tercer piso se añadió más tarde. La fachada está decorada por un frontón clásico con pilastras corintias. Detrás del edificio hay un jardín francés rectangular, en el centro, la escultura de Marianne donada a la Embajada de Rusia por el pintor y escultor francés Paul Flickinger con motivo de los Años Cruzados de 2010.

Piezas notables

 El Salón Azul, que fue estudio del zar Nicolás II durante su visita a Francia en 1896. A pesar de la época soviética, la sala ha conservado la decoración en las paredes del monograma de Alejandro III y las armas imperiales (el águila bicéfala con el medallón de San Jorge, matando a un dragón).
 El Salón Dorado, que tiene cuatro columnas estriadas con capiteles corintios, esculturas de bronce de estilo neoclásico (finales del  y representaciones de las Fábulas de Jean de la Fontaine.
 La gran escalinata, donde esta colgado el tapiz El Triunfo de Alejandro de Macedonia, tejido en el XVII XVII siglo en Bruselas e inspirado por Charles Le Brun.
 El comedor, donde cuelga Le Mirage, un cuadro de Iván Aïvazovski que presenta una vista de Constantinopla en la niebla. En la misma sala reposan pinturas de la escuela flamenca.
 Una antecámara en el primer piso, donde cuelga un retrato de Catalina la Grande y uno de Alejandro III. A la izquierda, da al Salón Rojo de estilo Luis XV y que tiene una chimenea barroca de granito rojo, un reloj imponente y candelabros de bronce de principios del , donde tienen lugar las recepciones oficiales.
 La Sala Verde, en el ala derecha del primer piso era el comedor en la época del Imperio Ruso.

Sometimes the only thing that can stop an outrageous plan is an even more outrageous one. At least that was the thinking at the Bank of Valletta in Malta, which last week prevented a daring cyber heist by shutting down its IT systems and plunging the organisation into cyber darkness.
The crooks had broken into the bank's systems and were transferring €13 million (about £11 million) into foreign accounts when security personnel noticed the attack.
To stop the criminals making off with the money, the bank shut down its primary IT functions, crippling its 44 branches, ATM terminals, POS (point-of-sale) services, mobile banking systems and email services.
The Bank of Valletta's decision shows the lengths organisations should go to prevent cyber crime. Its systems were offline for about 18 hours between 13 and 14 February, which will have no doubt frustrated customers and caused a huge loss in productivity.
Yet, the bank knew that it was better to ensure security at any cost than to risk the criminal hackers getting away with the money.
The Bank of Valletta released a statement following the incident, reassuring clients "that customer deposits and customer accounts were in no way affected by this cyber-attack.
Were such extreme measures necessary?
It's hard to say whether the Bank of Valletta needed to shut down its IT operations without knowing the full details of the attack and the bank's defences.
The bank had to act quickly, and its incident response plan informed the organisation's decision. Yes, it was cautious (perhaps overly so), but the good news is that plans are adaptable.
This means the Bank of Valletta can use the information gathered in this attack to review its response measures. It now knows exactly what the cost of an organisation-wide shutdown is, and can compare that to other options so that it can respond more efficiently and appropriately to the next attack.

Highly sensitive fluorescence microscopy techniques allow single nanoparticles to be tracked during their uptake into living cells with high temporal and spatial resolution. From analysis of the trajectories, random motion can be discriminated from active transport and the average transport velocity and/or diffusion coefficient determined. Such an analysis provides important information regarding the uptake pathway and location of viruses and nanoparticles. In this review, we give an introduction into single-particle tracking (SPT) and determination of the mean-squared displacement. We also give an overview of recent advances in SPT. These include millisecond alternating-laser excitation for removal of spectral crosstalk, alternating wide-field (WF), and total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy for sensitive experiments at the plasma membrane and three-dimensional tracking strategies. Throughout the review, we highlight recent advances regarding the entry (and egress) of natural and artificial viruses obtained via SPT.

Q: Name this pattern Often seen it and often used it, wonder if it has a name?
C# version:
public class Register
{
    protected Register()
    {
        Register.registry.Add(this);
    }

    public static ReadOnlyCollection<Register> Instances
    {
      get { return new ReadOnlyCollection<Register>(registry); }
    }

    private static List<Register> registry = new List<Register>();
}

it keeps a track of instances created if you couldn't work it out :)
Edit: it's just a snippet, don't get over excited about GC issues people

A: A memory leak? No instances of Register will ever be collected, unless you provide a way to explicitly remove them from the static list "registry".

A: It not a  Factory Pattern as it doesn't involve the use of a separate object to create the instances. It works more like a Lazy Initialization Pattern.
It is used when you need to control all instances of a class.

A: It reminds me somewhat of string interning.

Founded in 1969, the Los Angeles LGBT Center (the Center) provides a wide range of programs, services and housing at six different locations for youth and adults, 94% of whom are low income and represent the full diversity of greater Los Angeles. Over the past decade, the Center has experienced a dramatic increase in demand for its services, growing from 25,000 monthly client visits in 2010 to more than 42,000 today. This has placed an enormous strain on its infrastructure and programs and limited its capacity to serve some of the most vulnerable youth and seniors. In response, the Center has embarked on the creation of a new campus and headquarters that will enable it to dramatically increase its services and housing for these two populations, while also facilitating expansion of the medical and mental health services provided by its Federally Qualified Health Center at its current headquarters. A W. M. Keck Foundation grant will support the capital campaign. The new 1.67-acre campus located in the heart of Hollywood will provide a 40-bed emergency shelter and 60 beds in the transitional living program for homeless youth, as well as up to 100 affordable housing units for seniors and up to 35 units for youth. It will also include a Senior Services Center that will serve as many as 5,500 senior clients and senior residents. A Youth Academy on the campus will focus on empowerment through education, employment, and leadership programs and engage an additional 750 youth. Meaningful intergenerational programming for seniors and youth living on campus will be developed to combat isolation, build community and offer mentorship opportunities. Meaningful intergenerational programming for seniors and youth living on campus will be developed to combat isolation, build community and offer mentorship opportunities. With the expanded space, the health center, which currently treats 4,700 primary care and mental health patients annually, will serve an additional 1,200 of the Center's clients and the community at large.

ISIS Pharmaceuticals, a company focusing on the development of RNA-targeted drug discovery using its antisense technology platform, announced it earned a $2.8 million milestone payment from Biogen to continue developing the ongoing Phase 1/2a study of ISIS-DMPK-2.5Rx for the treatment of myotonic dystrophy type I (DM1) patients. This payment stems from a collaboration with Biogen and it is part of a total of nearly $27 million that Biogen has invested in the development of ISIS-DMPK-2.5Rx.
Myotonic dystrophy type I (DM1) is a type of muscular dystrophy characterized by progressive muscle weakness, myotonia (inability to relax muscles) and heart abnormalities, among other symptoms that vary from patient to patient. This disorder is caused by a genetic mutation in the DMPK gene where an abnormally expanded three nucleotide sequence produces long and toxic RNA molecules that accumulate within the cell nucleus and hinder essential protein production. Currently, the therapies available focus on symptom management and not on the genetic cause.
ISIS-DMPK-2.5Rx was developed under ISIS' antisense technology platform, where antisense oligonucleotides target and reduce the production of the toxic dystrophia myotonica-protein kinase (DMPK) RNA in affected cells. This therapy has the potential to directly target the cause of the disease and is currently under evaluation in a placebo-controlled Phase 1/2a study of DM1 patients.
The current study, testing dosing safety and tolerability in about 80 adult patients, ages 20 to 55, is scheduled to be completed in December 2016.

Diana's Addiction and Journey Towards LTD Benefits
Diana is a 33-year-old nurse who was working in a hospital in Goderich, Ontario. Despite coming across as a friendly person, Diana has a social anxiety disorder that she has been battling since her late teens. When she was in her mid-twenties, Diana started drinking heavily. Alcohol consumption became more and more of a crutch, and it is a poorly kept secret among her family and friends that Diana is an alcoholic.
During a particularly stressful time several years ago, Diana was frequently missing work and even came in to work intoxicated. After several warnings from her employer, Diana stopped drinking, but she was unable to stick with sobriety.
When Diana became pregnant she knew the severe side effects that drinking could have on her baby, so Diana abstained from drinking again. Once her daughter was born, however, Diana could no longer resist the urge to drink. The pressures of being a new mom were compiling
and though she knew it was wrong, she felt completely out of control. She was at home all day with her daughter while her partner worked.
After her maternity leave was finished, instead of returning to work Diana applied for long term disability benefits. Her doctors knew about her addiction and supported her claim. She knew that she couldn't go back to work in her current condition, but her family needed all the financial
support they could get with the new baby. When Diana received a rejection letter from the insurance company, it said that unless Diana was willing to go to an in-house treatment program for her alcohol addiction, they would not approve her claim. Diana was not in the position to leave her daughter, as there were no other caregivers for the young child. She felt stuck and hopeless.
Diana's mother saw a Share Lawyers Facebook post, and read a blog about addiction as a
disability. Though this was not news to her, Diana felt empowered to face her addiction and disability issues head on. She called Share Lawyers, and, without having to come into the
office in Toronto, they arranged a telephone consultation and took on her case.
With a firm diagnosis, Share Lawyers was able to prove that Diana was genuinely disabled.
With the help of Share Lawyers, Diana won her case, received the benefits she was entitled to,
and is finally on the path to treatment with her family by her side. She is hoping that one day
she will be able to go back to nursing.

Development and emergency aid, like the society we live in today, is subject to change all the time. Faith-based organizations have been at the center of providing help for decades. Is there still a place for international religious NGOs in the 21st century? Of course! In this blog, we explore the reasons why.
Through a faith-based approach, organizations can develop more profound relationships with communities in developing countries. This is because religion is deeply rooted in many communities around the world. So it makes sense that faith-based organizations play a fundamental role in those communities. Additionally, religion has provided many social services.
Wendy Tyndale is a development scholar at the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs at Georgetown University. In her 2003 analysis of a World Bank survey, she found that faith-based organizations have better networks in poor communities than the non-religious ones. She also concluded that religious leaders are more trusted there than any others. 'Faith-based organizations are thus seen as essential agents both for influencing the opinions and attitudes of their followers and for carrying out development', she writes.
In a world that seems to forget about the less fortunate more often, religious NGOs continue to have the will to fight for the marginalized. The golden rule of all religions is "Do unto others as you would have them to do unto you." That vision religious NGO's continually prove to reflect in the 21st century. Their ability to connect with communities and promote a positive message may be the most efficient way to bring about positive social change. For example, the majority of Latin America has seen many social changes in quick succession. Through faith and theology, oppression and poverty has been combated there. And also in the 21st century, Christianity still has an enormous influence. Christianity operates with a preferential option for the poor. This view has brought the marginalized to the foreground and continues to do so. Another significant difference between faith-based organizations and their secular counterparts is their ability to attract donors. While secular humanitarian organizations have made great strides in their donor pools and funding resources, they still cannot match the donations that faith-based organizations are able to gather.
Missionary travel is at the very heart of Raptim Humanitarian Travel. We believe our world is a better place when faith-based travelers can go where they are needed most. Contact one of our offices should you require more information about humanitarian travel!
