SAN FRANCISCO - The family of a window washer who survived a fall from the top of an 11-story building in San Francisco's Financial District last month has raised more than $73,000 to help offset their expenses following the accident.

The fund was established on Dec. 11 and more than 1,160 people have donated money to the family of Pedro Perez, 58, via the fundraising website GoFundMe.

Perez was working when he fell from the top of a building at the intersection of California and Montgomery streets on the morning of Nov. 21.

He landed on a moving car and was seriously injured.

According to the GoFundMe website, Perez suffered extensive brain trauma and internal hemorrhaging, as well as a fractured pelvis, broken arm, and a ruptured artery in his right arm.

Perez is now able to converse with others and is regaining his memory. However, he remains unable to work and it is unclear whether he will be able to walk again, according to the GoFundMe site.

Perez's wife works at a factory in the East Bay and his 19-year-old daughter Monica Perez has taken time off from college to help support the family following the accident. His other two daughters are 11 and 16.

The family asked for donations from the public to help make ends meet, since Perez was the family breadwinner prior to the accident.

According to the GoFundMe site, the goal was to raise the difference between one year of Pedro's wages and the workers' compensation payments for the year, about $20,000. The fund is already at $73,140, more than three times that goal.

Last week, Perez's daughter Monica responded to the outpouring of support and the flood of donations.

ORMOND BEACH For more than half a century, a majestic pine tree provided ample shade on Bob Coxs property.

Bob Cox and son Austin Cox prepare to pull a pine tree to the ground Monday as Allen Cole uses a chain saw to bring the tree down at the Coxes home on Ormond Parkway off State Road A1A in Ormond Beach. Cox had been hoping to transplant the tree but that proved to be impractical.

Now it will serve a different purpose.

A month after Cox made a plea in The News-Journal for help in saving a 22-foot Norfolk pine planted close to his Ormond Parkway home, the tree met its maker Monday.

You see a beautiful tree like that and its sad to see it go, he said. The only consolation is were going to use it and make something out of it.

Cox had hoped to save the tree from meeting its demise after being told it could compromise his front walkway and patio. The tree was planted on the property in 1959.

The 64-year-old said he received several calls from people who also were hoping to save the tree. One woman came to inspect the grounds and determined it would likely be impossible to save the tree because it would be difficult to keep the roots intact.

Allen Cole, however, saw other potential for the pine tree. The Volusia man said hed be able to make several pieces of art from the tree, including wooden bowls and vases, one of which he said hed make for Coxs granddaughter.

I thought, I can make something out of that, said Cole, who is a member of the American Wood Turning Association and has been working with wood for more than 50 years. Im glad I could salvage some of it, anyway.

An 8-year-old girl has died after being hit by a falling tree branch at Pitt Town Public School in Sydney's north-west on Friday. Nine News.

Just seconds after the school bell sounded and children were crossing the Pitt Town Public School playground to retrieve their lunch from their bags, there was a snap and a loud thud.

A large branch from a 50-year-old gum tree fell and landed on top of three students and a teacher on Friday afternoon at the small school in semi-rural north-western Sydney.

Eight year-old Bridget Wright, a horse lover and high-achieving year 4 student, was pinned beneath a limb of the towering tree and died after being rushed to Westmead Hospital.

Microsoft is imploring developers to keep an eye on memory budgets when coding for the Windows Phone.

Downloads from the Windows and Windows Phone Store are dominated by version 8.1 (Windows), with 92 per cent of downloads using Metro the update of the new look operating system.

Of the Windows phone downloads, 8.1 again dominates by having a market share of 65 per cent, while 7.x accounts for less than 5 per cent.

This means there is still a relatively healthy market for 8.0 as use of 6.5, and earlier versions, will be restricted to custom applications. Lots of the devices youve signed when a delivery man has handed you a parcel will be running 6.5, and there is precious little apps market for those.

Indeed, Microsoft doesnt even list them.

What Microsoft hasnt revealed is the split between Windows and Windows Phone downloads. It has said the Windows market for 8.0 is in daisy push-up mode, so anyone with PC apps that only work on 8.0 should forget it. The vast majority will, however, work on 8.1 and its just that Microsoft is trying to hasten the migration.

Whats more important is that developers are aware of the devices for which users are buying software. Sales at the store are dominated by the entry level phones with the Lumia 520 and Lumia 530 leading the way.

Indeed more apps are downloaded for the 530 than for all the high-memory devices put together. Microsoft says with 71 per cent of downloads now coming from low-memory devices, you can more than double your potential market by optimising your app to run on such machines. If thats not possible, consider creating a version with lower memory requirements to offer alongside your primary apps".

Microsoft notes the need to do extensive testing, making sure that there is space for animations, any choosers and launchers an app may require, and that it is able to cope with a spike in memory requirements when the phone is rotated.

Microsoft gives good demographic information. India and the UK make up 12 per cent of the sales so you might want to hold off with your idea for a Cricket app. The UK does however lead the way in the market share per head of population.

The rest is here:
