Seychelles : Strengthening Emergency Response Management and Climate Resilience
Context and Objectives
Following Tropical Cyclone Felleng that hit the Seychelles in 2013, the World Bank approved a Development Policy Loan with Catastrophe Deferred Drawdown Option (DPL with Cat-DDO), which was established with support from the ACP-EU NDRR Program. A Cat-DDO is a contingent credit line that provides immediate liquidity to a country in the aftermath of a natural disaster.
In the context of the Cat-DDO policy dialogue, the Government of the Seychelles requested assistance for its efforts to further strengthen disaster risk and climate resilience in the country. The ACP-EU NDRR project will support the Seychelles by:
- Strengthening disaster risk management (DRM) within the institutions of the Government;
- Integrating disaster risk reduction (DRR) into development planning and decision-making, thereby strengthening coastal resilience.
Main Activities
Component 1: Enhancing Seychelles' Emergency Preparedness and Response (EP&R) system
Seychelles' EP&R system will be strengthened, through:
- Developing the National Integrated Emergency Management Plan
- Reviewing, updating and simplifying the District Contingency Plans of five prioritized districts (Anse Aux Pins; La Digue; Pointe La Rue; Beau Vallon, and Baie St. Anne).
This will be done through participatory trainings and workshops with stakeholders from national and local levels.
Component 2: Integrating DRR into development planning and decision making.
This component is comprised of two sub-components:
2a) Support the Government on geospatial risk data collection and sharing.
- This will include the organization of a workshop with expert consultants to review the draft National Spatial Data Sharing Policy.
2b) Support the Government line ministries to include risk information in their development projects. To further the use of risk information in development planning, the Government will be supported in:
- the development and improvement of hazard and risk information;
- the integration of risk information in policies and infrastructure decisions;
- urban and coastal planning, including the finalization and application of the Coastal Management Plan.
Main Results
The project is in its inception phase.
Partnerships and Coordination
The project will be implemented in collaboration with Government counterparts, such as the Ministry of Environment, Energy & Climate Change, and the Department of Risk and Disaster Management.
The project team will work in close coordination with the Global Climate Change Alliance + (GCCA+). The project activities will also be aligned with the National Development Strategy and the VISION 32 Strategy.

A couple who met on a Blind date hit it off and celebrated shortly after with a classic wedding at Rodbaston Hall !
Vicky & Rob's photographer Cris Lowis has kindly shared his blog with us.
"Once again I found myself back at the fantastic venue Rodbaston Hall, this time for the wedding of Vicky and Rob who had their ceremony at St. Michaels church in Penkridge. Easily accessible from the M6 and A5, Rodbaston is an imposing 19th century hall set amongst 180 hectares of country estate. Boasting some of the most magnificent and well maintained gardens in Staffordshire, mature tree's, countryside walks and surrounded by farmers fields – its always great to be a wedding photographer at Rodbaston Hall"
"Back to the day itself and Vicky the bride seemed calm but excited for her wedding at Rodbaston hall and her bridesmaids were on hand to help wherever needed. Once hair and make up was complete Vicky looked stunning and ready for the day ahead, I made my way to the church to catch up with Rob and his groomsmen who were greeting guests on their arrival.
After the ceremony we made our way to Rodbaston, Vicky and Rob arrived in style by Heritage Wedding Cars and the guests all enjoyed welcome drinks in the gardens. Unfortunately the weather wasn't being too kind and a downpour meant we had to cut the photos short and run for cover. However the rain soon cleared and I was able to make use of the grounds for the couples wedding photographs"
Later in the evening the weather had cleared up and the guests were able to enjoy lawn games and netball before the couples first dance and the evening reception. After the first dance we quickly nipped down to a nearby field to take a few shots of the magnificent sunset, a perfect end to a perfect wedding day.

(Irvine, CA – October 16, 2017) – PREMIER Design + Build Group, LLC recently completed the construction of a 421,478 square-foot industrial facility in the City of Industry on behalf of Bridge Development Partners, LLC. Located in the San Gabriel valley of Los Angeles County, the complex is just 22 miles from downtown Los Angeles – a strategic location for distribution given its proximity to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), major railroad freight lines, the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach.
In order for the project to be constructed, an existing 260,000 square-foot warehouse had to be demolished and existing power poles had to be relocated. Much of the material from the demolished building was recycled by crushing, mixing and reusing with earthwork to create a balanced site.
We are excited to have had the opportunity to be a part of the growth in the City of Industry. This project marks the completion of our third building with Bridge Development Partners in Southern California. Together, we were able to turn this underutilized site into a brand new state-of-the-art industrial facility.
The new building is housed on 19.9 acres of land and was constructed with tilt-up concrete wall panels, structural steel, a steel truss roof structure, glass curtain walls and canopies at entryways. Also featured are 460 parking spaces for employees, 36' clear height warehouse space, 65 manual-lift overhead dock doors and four drive-in doors.
PREMIER Vice President Steven Gabbert, General Superintendent Wayne Nyenhuis, Project Manager Jeramy Mahfet and Superintendent Al Densmore oversaw the construction to completion. Thienes Engineering, Inc was the civil engineer, HPA, Inc. delivered architectural services, while HSA & Associates provided structural engineering services. Stuart C. Milligan of Cushman and Wakefield and Tony Phu of Colliers Inc. are the brokers representing the landlord. JP Morgan Chase Bank provided the construction financing for the project. Bridge Development Partners, LLC is the developer leading the project.

One thing I'm considering doing - unrelated - is cashing out an old chunk of Roth IRA contributions from 2008. I bought one of those target retirement date funds and it plunged in value almost immediately. It's up to 90% of its original value, but I don't think it'll beat 6.55% in the next 5 years, so I'm considering cashing it out, eating the loss for tax purposes, and using it to pay off two small student loans the wifing unit has to reduce our monthly obligation by about $60, as that might come in handy if I end up going to grad school and prefer a lower monthly obligation. Until then, obviously, I'd just use the extra money each month to pay extra on the other loans. Of course, it might have been better to do this before the end of the year for tax purposes. Or something.
I have a phone interview with a local, better-paying test prep service today. As in, they pay around or better than my putative hourly rate at work. Not sure what to expect, they didn't ask me to prepare a lesson. It'll probably be a conversation about stuff and, if I sound okay, they'll schedule an in-person thingy and have me audition.
Anyway. Flying out tomorrow to OSU for super fun happy graduate school information day. Woo hoo.
In other financial news, it seems my 401(k) only lost 3.99% in the last year. Better than I expected based on market performance in the last half of the year, still not awesome.
Finishing off statements of purpose. I sound like such a wanker.
Sweet JFK. It seems everybody has the same idea: "Hey, I just set this thing on fire and I think you're a fireman and none of us can fight fires, ergo it is your jorb to fight this fire. K THX BYE." But... but... I just set something of my own on fire and it actually is my job to put it out... And I'm leaving at 4:30 because I have a phone interview I'm taking at home, and, no, I'm not going to reconsider.

Hi Cakers!
I'm getting ready to purchase some paper covered cake wire. I am going to be placing some fondant decorations at the end of them and stick them in the cake.
I need a strong gauge wire. I forget if lower the number the strong or higher the number the strongest???
I found some 16 gauge, is this a strong wire?
BTW, I will be coating the wire in chocloate and might even place them inside tea stirrers for added protections from touching the cake, I just forgot how to determine which gauge is the strongest???
The lower the number the thicker the wire, please use the stirrers to place them in the cake , chocolate can melt into the cake and be consumed , or people are tempted to lick them when they are removed , therefore exposing customers to what are usually lead wires.
Oh and a 16 is pretty thick
Thank you!

This gave us few minutes to adjust, so we knew what to expect. I did not expect those flowing pieces of sheer fabric that blew around throughout the episode, adding volume in a manner that is usually not desirable if you're going to be on camera. And the scarf. The fucking scarf.
This looks like it came from the Stevie Nicks for QVC line.
Inspired by classic looks like this:
Or this:
It's pants. Or culottes. Or gauchos. Whatever. Did we need to know this? I didn't. And I didn't need to see a closer look at those shoes, either.
I love The Chenbot and hate to have to criticize her awful fashion choices. But I'm not the only bitchy fan out there, of course. There is another fan of the show who scoured the episode credits to find the responsible party for Julie's clothing choices.
I thought this Redditor wanted to know exactly who to blame for this, to be able to Name Names. But it turns out that they wanted to buy this same outfit.
So....same planet, different worlds.
At this point we can't expect Julie's fashions to miraculously improve, and I feel kind of bad for slamming Julie. Maybe Julie should just implement a Big Brother uniform so that choosing an outfit would be easier each week. For example, she could get a great-fitting white pantsuit for the live shows, and then wear a different colorful camisole each week. And maybe a black suit with tuxedo pants for the finale.
It's a little disappointing that this is the story line that is being developed for Haleigh. If you watch the live feeds, it's pretty obvious that she doesn't intend to get into any type of showmance. She is casually working all the guys in the house, but most of them know it. The Bros think she is a Player and admire how she pulls it off everyday at her age.
But instead they have to drum up a "Will She or Won't She" showmance story line with Fessy. I will try to remember to spell Fessy's self-proclaimed nickname this way from now on, even though it seems wrong to me, based on the spelling of his proper name.
And how do I know that? Because of the Fessy Fitness bracelet that can be seen in this shot. Fessy told Ross that he developed an app, and apparently it's this one. I think he hauled ass to get it going before he came on the show, which is everything Mark should have done last year.
Yesterday I heard Fessy say that he brought about 50 of those bracelets with him this summer, as well as T-shirts and hats for everyone, but Production wouldn't let him carry them in the house.
I'm practicing. See? Fessy Fessy Fessy.
Some people think Steve is in sequester somewhere, waiting for a chance to compete to come back in the house. According to his post-show interviews, he didn't know much about the vote, or even who won HoH after he was evicted, so those are two strong signs that Production controlled all of his interviews and conversations after he left the house.
With the length of this season, I think someone will come back in, independent of whatever stupid power Sam won last week. I think Steve will be thinner when we see him next---he's already lost quite a bit of weight since the beginning of the game and he indicated he wanted to keep going.
Steve's speech made me think he knew that the vote had flipped, and he was begging to stay, but in his interview with Julie he admitted he was shocked.
Sixteen people is a lot to shove in an enclosed space with so many rules and regulations. There are a few people who seem like they would leave in a heartbeat if they could. In particular, Angela. And from her recent actions, Angie. Alphabetically. In that order.
There was so much drama leading up to the live show, and Swaggy C's name got dragged all over it. We saw the feeds off and on as Production worked with them during the day to prepare for the show, but we did get to see Tyler really pull out the stops to turn Kaitlyn's vote in the hours before air time.
Basically, Tyler told Kaitlyn that Swaggy told him that Brett won some sort of power that would screw over anyone who voted to keep Steve. It didn't make sense then, and doesn't make sense to me now, either, but when Tyler tells Kaitlyn to trust him, that is what she does, apparently.
I can't condone The Bros' plan to dress in such a douchey manner on live television.
And their little routine in the hallway was BAD. I feel badly for their family and friends, tuning in to watch this.
Kaitlyn made a very dramatic presentation with her vote, saying she was so very sorry to have to vote out Steve. They have the New York Connection, you know.
Everyone else in "Foute" voted to evict Sam, as planned. All except Kaitlyn, who was the one who named that stupid alliance after the phrase "Five of us until the end". I guess the end was the first live eviction. Nothing is forever, apparently.
And I thought Angie Rockstar was going to fall right out of her top. She had a sort of breakdown in the next day or so, that reportedly began when the studio door was opened to let Steve walk out. She was sad for Steve's surprise eviction, because they had become connected as the only parents in the house (we think), and also because it made her realize her family was watching.
She broke down in tears the next morning as she discussed the friction she had with her husband Chris about coming on Big Brother. As she left their home, his last words to her were "I don't know why you're doing this, but I'll see you in a few weeks". Her kids were thrilled about it, but her husband didn't understand at all.
The shock was real, and shit got really real when the vote was announced. In that situation I'm sure you want to know immediately who the traitor is, but you're probably also afraid that you are the only one who didn't know, and that they may be coming for you next.
(And that is indeed the plan, I think.)
As soon as the vote was read, we saw a flash of this, which is the second major Production screw up of the night. The first screw up was the now nearly ubiquitous Sound Snafu, where the cameras went back to Julie after a taped package teasing the non-existent showmance between Haleigh and Fessy, where Julie was sashaying across the stage saying things with absolutely no sound at all until the commercial appeared.
But this screw up was even worse, in my opinion. Apparently if Sam had been evicted, this was the set up for her doing some sort of lame "challenge" to win the chance to come back in the game. Obviously this is the "App Room" next to the HoH suite, set up for Sam to "win" a rigged competition.
Julie: I'm sorry Sam, but that answer was incorrect. You may now return to the house to continue playing Big Brother.
Steve came out and had a nice chat with Julie where he admitted he was too trusting, and was a good sport about the camera footage of him chattering away about police talk. If only everyone in the house wasn't so self-absorbed, they might have listened to what Steve was saying and figured out his secret.
I'm pleased to say that it looks like we have returned to the competition sets of yore, without all of the flashing lights, bells and whistles. This is a tried and true type of competition that we've seen over the years, dressed up as a city with many open jobs that pay a wide variety of salaries. The goal was to launch a ball out of a catapult and land on the highest salary.
This is "Land a Job". Out of fourteen house guests competing to win, only four of them landed a job that paid anything. That's a 71% unemployment rate, people. And this type of crap shoot competition is great for the players who run about boasting that they will crush every competition all summer. Frequent boasters like Brett and Swaggy C were "out on the street" after their turn and had to skulk over to the sidelines like the other losers. And they must have been FREAKING out as they waited to see who would hold their fate as HoH this week. The lead changed a few times as follows:
Scottie - $40,000
JC - out on the damn street
Brett - out on the damn street
Winston - landed a $12,000 job in the street, perhaps as a street sweeper, but a loser nonetheless
Sam - $50,000 (sometimes trade school pays off)
Then it was Kaitlyn's turn to try and land a job. And she did, taking the lead with an $80,000 position, knocking Sam over to the side with the other unemployed competition losers.
Many of them had trouble getting the ball to release and roll. There is a groove up top that held it into place, and it looked like once you tilted the catapult up to a certain angle, the ball was released to roll. But many of the house guests used their hand to try and free the ball from the groove, so the ball started moving down the chute before they had both hands on the controls. Even though this game is largely based on luck, starting your turn with only one hand surely didn't help anybody's aim.
Many of the contestants overshot the entire city of jobs, like Swaggy, who went looking for work down by the river on the far side of town. So let's quickly review the players who had potential to win HoH this week, and how scary it must have been for everyone.
Scottie - His only friend in the house was just blindsided in the first eviction.
Sam - She was a disregarded Robot who is widely disliked in the house, but some know she has a power so they were persuaded to keep her around.
No one in the house even thought it was a possibility that Scottie or Sam could win HoH. That would have been preposterous to everyone.
(I was NOT impressed with Scottie's performance on the live show, scampering down the hall to vote and breaking into a heavy lisp during his good-bye message to Steve. And when he was in the lead for a few rounds of this competition, he posed like he was ready to run over to the Loser's Lounge each time someone else took their turn.)
Kaitlyn fell to the ground as she won, in apparent disbelief after such mighty competitors as Angie, Rachel, Swaggy C and Bayleigh failed to Land a Job successfully. Kaitlyn later said that she felt a certain energy buzzing in her all day. She knew she would be a part of something big.
It's hard to get much bigger than pulling off being the swing vote to blindside half the house, and then handily winning an HoH competition on live television.
Rachel is over on the far left in her choral recital gown, giving away her true feelings with her body language. But when it was her turn to hug she was all smiles, of course.
Here's the Thing: No one is going to want to accuse Kaitlyn of being the person who flipped now that she holds the HoH title. She would have been in the Hot Seat, big time if another member of "Foute" won HoH and went on the warpath to determine who turned their vote. And when the story about Tyler's role eventually came out, he might have ended up a Pre Jury boot, too.
And he still might, but everything changed when Kaitlyn shockingly landed the highest paying job out of everyone. Scottie was considered a prime suspect for the vote flip, and also Swaggy, as everyone tried to blame someone else as quickly as possible.
I love the ending of the live shows where Julie says "let's eavesdrop on the house" because there is always some sort of story going on, and then if you have the live feeds you know you will be able to tune in and keep watching as the drama unfolds. I think CBS had lots of time to fill on the live show, since they didn't have Sam's "chance to return" segment.
So the cameras stayed on The Bros, who they know are PISSED about looking like total chumps on live TV. They have to blame themselves for those shirts though, But Winston had been saying for days that if it was some sort of crap shoot competition, he would be IRATE. I don't think he would have been too mad if one of Level 6 won the crapshoot, but it is clear that Winston has plenty of impulse control issues, as well as bouts of rage that probably frighten even Dixie, his dog.
As the credits roll we see Angela and Rachel sidle over to The Bros, looking for comfort and assurances. At some point, Angela made a comment about "well it's a war now, we'll take sides and fight it out" and this was repeated several times throughout the following hours as the gossip spread.
Some people in the house think a power "was released" during the show, but others swore that if that were the case, Julie would have said something about it. But when Winston saw Tyler go into storage with Swaggy and Fessy, two irate Foute members, he wasn't having it. And THANK GROD that we still had a few seconds left of the live broadcast.
Winston burst in the room to catch Tyler in the act of treason, saying "Cool meeting, guys".
Swaggy C: What, we can't talk to Tyler?
Winston is so mad you can feel it. "I said, Cool Meeting guys...."
As the show closes we see The Bros in different stages of despair, with Brett accepting what has happened and trying to blend in to the action, while Winston is clearly unable to handle his rage. We hear Sam droning on and on as she does, telling everyone that America must be glad that she's not a robot anymore, because she was a robot, and now she's not a robot, and she's glad she's not a robot and on and on.
You can feel Winston's regret, as Sam's country twang drones on, and his ego tries to grasp what has happened tonight. Later I heard Brett whispering to Angela about how heated Winston gets, and his inability to roll with the punches.
Later, Kaitlyn polled the others to see if it was her imagination that the studio audience went wild when she won HoH. Tyler assured her that he heard it, too, and almost cried himself when she pulled out the win. (I'll bet.....Tyler needs a week or so to get the heat off himself. )
Kaitlyn also heard someone from the crew cough behind the wall, and addressed them, saying there was Mucinex in the Storage Room for them.
Kaitlyn, to the wall: Also, I don't know if you know, but I'm HoH.
So, some in the house were giddy with excitement, and others were blind with rage, but everyone seemed shocked and kind of at a loss for what to do next. Not to make light of an actual situation, but it kind of felt like some of the election coverage we're all much too familiar with now.
And here's something: They are now putting the App Store questionnaires on the CBS website, in the America's Vote section. I'm guessing the voter turnout was very light the first week, because they made it relatively difficult to do, with some sort of Facebook Bot or something.
The vote wasn't open long, but I caught it in time. I'm not sure you even need a CBS BB subscription to vote, so the next time you hear that the polls are open, head on over there to do your civic duty. The questions seem like the same ones they asked in Week #1, designed to reward the house guests who stir up the most emotions, positive or negative.
Kaitlyn spent all day on Friday waltzing around in her HoH robe, taking one-on-one meetings with each person, sometimes twice. She has pledged loyalty to Angie, Haleigh and Fessy, and Tyler on the side as well. (Tyler was not a member of Foute so he's like her side piece.)
Kaitlyn nominated Scottie and Winston, accusing Winston of being a doctor in her nomination speech, apparently. But the plan she wants to pull off is blindsiding Swaggy C, which is not something I am happy about. I feel Swaggy C has potential for much entertainment and drama this season, and I'm sure Production feels the same way. Particularly with couch potatoes like Angela skulking around, obviously hating everyone with great passion, but totally unwilling to express it.
Tyler told The Bros about the plan so they are relatively calm as we roll into Saturday's PoV competition. It's the biggest PoV comp of the season, you know. (I will say that every week, hopefully, as it's the sign of a great BB season.)
We know Rachel got the Crap App, and she is demoralized to learn that the voting audience doesn't care much for her. You've got to care in order to dislike someone, so perhaps she is consoling herself with that thought. I'll bet she doubles down on her attempts to make out with Brett, to get that Brachel showmance off the ground in time for some Very Special Showmance Segments on the CBS show.
Apparently Rachel chose "YELL" as her punishment, which I'm hearing might feature Josh Martinez hollering at her. Which would mean Josh Martinez is hollering at us, as well. Great.
The fans all think Tyler may have the "good" App, because if it were Swaggy C he would have already bragged to us about it. Swaggy has figured out that Tyler is a rat, so Tyler may need that App, and some good powers to shut Swaggy down.
I want to root for The Bros in the PoV today, because they are so fun to loathe on the feeds, but I don't want Swaggy to leave, either. And I am still having SO much trouble typing. I have tried various cures to fix it, but so far the frozen cursor situation keeps coming back. I have more to say, but not the patience to type it at the moment.

Once inspiration strikes, or the intuition guides, perception emerges as a confirmation of your desired reality. New lessons are always around the corner in life. There are skies beyond skies of understanding! Once you feel you see clearly, a greater understanding emerges.
For me, perception is equivalent to being able to silently appreciate a 3-dimensional manifestation of something that I have innately known. This sensation often arises when I learn of a mathematical equation that confirms what I've felt as truth in nature; while watching a work of art, as it's shapes convey a universal sentiment; Circumference = π × diameter = 2 × π × radius ~ and this, like the math of spheres, holds true for the smallest coin or the biggest star.
Adorn with The Perception, allow your attention to flow and to grow, call someone you feel connected to and enlighten them on all the beauty that you perceive them to be.
Your greatest gift is your potent perception. Give, and get back.

Nice pixel art and music
Wow, nice art !
I love the Art, Music is great, Its Super Addictive, and the movement is smooth. This is probably going to be my favorite Ludum Dare entry this time around
Ahhh now that was fun! I love the art in this!
Awesome game, I love the click to dash mechanic. after I got the rockets I decided to try to get through levels without using them. Boy was that a challenge.
Great game, i like the movement and how fluid the gameplay is.
Really enjoyable experience! Simple and addictive mechanic combined with a really nice art style. Music is fammiliar though ;) Good job!
Really Cool! I like the flying movement! =D
Pretty solid! I had a lot of fun with the jumping. I would always make sure that I had a stylish finish through the end of the level with a jump/dash. Totally got stuck in a rock one though. I was falling through one of the red platforms and one of the enemies stepped on the button pushing me into the wall. I was able to dash out of it, but figured I'd let you know.
Really impressive, I didn't even notice myself going on with level by level. Nice one!
Why does he faceplant when he jumps?
Very well done.
Very well done, fast and easy to understand. Nice graphics and music. You will probably be a finalist. Congratulations.
Nice game.
Great game! The art is pretty nice. Music and sound as well.
Really enjoyed myself. Really dug the graphics and the music. The jump mechanic was a little clunky, but considering the time frame that's really impressive.
Amazed by the graphics, music and number of levels you've managed to squeeze out of the 48 hours. Really impressive stuff!
Audio, graphics, and gameplay play well together. Very fun and replayable.
I liked the music and the art! Gameplay was great as well.
Love it! Have not played a game like this before.
Art is amazing!
nice game.
love it
Nice game - I dig all the polish. It runs really nice
Good concept. I liked it!
Very nice style.
Pretty fun game! The biggest flaw though is that music... is an arrangement from a Warcraft2 and WoW (pet battle) theme...
Really impressed by this one - gameplay works really well and art as well as sound is wonderful
Love the art! Good job, fun
Lovely jump'n'run! Gameplay feels really good.
Just wow...
great game lots of fun!
Impressive art and levels. The difficulty really spikes around Level 15!
Very cute!
Level 12 is a bitch, ahem.. nice music and overall good game.
This game is SLICK! Wonderful art, lovely sound, tight controls, great gameplay! Well done!
Yup. My favourite game so far!
Cool concept. A little unforgiving in the later levels. Good Job.
Impressive amount of content for 48h! :o
Love the art style
It's very pretty. It's very smooth. It's fun. I like it.
Great art and music :)
Not a bad game, especially in 48 hours.
Excellent, well polished. Great entry.
I like The game, The art is awesome!
Really nice mechanics and art. The split screen impressed me!
This is my favorite Ludum Dare 29 game I have played thus far. Not only is everything super polished, but there are a ton of levels.
I especially liked all the little design details. One level didn't have enemies shooting when it would have been too frustrating. The switch mechanics were varied. The enemy bomb indicators are a good idea. The instant air dash mechanic is awesome.
Pretty much my only complaint was that the very last level (17), you briefly get a final score screen, and clicking resets to the start of that level rather than showing you an overall final score/congratulations screen.
Great job, I'm very impressed this was done in only a weekend.
Very nice! At first I thought it was just an other mario-like, but in fact it demands a lot of hand eye coordination! Very nice!
Feels like quite a complete package. Good stuff.
Really nice!
As a pixel artist to a pixel artist: you`re good, keep working on this style.
Really great game! Loved the pixel art, the idea was nice and creative, sound was good, dashing mechanic was effective, and I loved how the player spun while jumping. Great job! :)
I had a problem with my screen being too small. I needed to zoom out in the browser to see the full game window. Otherwise its a fun game and nice art
That was fun. Art, mechanics and graphics played very well together. Nice entry!
Nice game, i have nothing to complain
I really liked this one. The graphics and music is good, and the gameplay works well too.
the dash idea is what dashes me crazy
awesome idea :)
well done :)
Haha so much fun good levels. I stopped playing so hard at the point where lot of balls fell down :D
very fun~!! Cool feeling with the jumping flip.
Very fun game, also pretty hard
Really polished game! I like that you took the time add threat indicators to the screen edges. The dashing mechanic worked nicely. Overall a really solid entry :)
looks great, is really addictive and got a really good learning curve.. And it worked on Ubunut! Enjoyed bigtime! :)
Great game. Really polished and fun too!
One of the best games i tried. Good sound, good art and really really fun to play. Good work!
The pixel art looks nice, but the music makes this game great. Nice level design ideas with trapping the trolls so they push buttons for us :-)
Best entry I played so far!
The controls are strange but graphics are good
Nice art + fun to play good game
Nice art, nice game i think the jump delay is a little bit too long.
Great art and music, game is fun to play, this is a very nice entry
Awesome game! love the fluid gameplay! Good job!
Excellent. Art, gameplay, sound controls. feels really tight !
Nice game. I like the graphics.
Well done. Would have liked different buttons for shoot though, I died a lot because I was trying to dash after picking up ammo.
Excellent game. Best entry I played so far!
Great art and epic music! The levels were quick but engaging, really enjoyed playing this.
Great work! I enjoyed it a lot. Also I really like the graphicstyle.
Loved the Music and Graphics! Fun! Well done! 5/5
What a game ^^
I love this game! its just so much fun! The art is great for 48 hours, same with music, and it fits the theme nicely! 4/5
Wow! Very nice graphics. I like the movement too.
Nice gameplay and assets ;)
Fun game and nice art.
nice work! really impressed with how complex it got after a few levels.
I enjoyed playing it. Nice pixel art also
Great Game looks and feels nice just it is missing something...
This is great! Your level design is really good at teaching you the game. Love the art and the music.
Nice, I love the artstyle!
Very fun game ! I like everything ! Great job !
Really addictive, it was a bit laggy for me, i dont know why, maybe because i have lots of tabs opened lol. This one could be one of the games of the Top 10 for me. Graphics are really nice, it's fun, it's a nice way to interpretate the theme and it's addictive. Music is a bit worse than the rest, with that I mean, it can be better but it is not bad! Maybe desktop version will be great!
Nice puzzles and art :D
Some great artwork went into this. The dash mechanic could certainly make for some interesting puzzles compared to simply jumping. Nice audio, too. Good job overall!
I enjoyed graphics, but the music is a complete ripoff from WC2 ;[
I like the graphics and the music! The gameplay is fun too, but I find the monsters a bit scary
Seems very complete and well presented, impressive for 48 hours. However, I got stuck soon. The first 6 levels were all too easy, then I got stuck at level 7, which I found very frustrating. First I have to make a split second jump because the jump cooldown takes so long, and then I am supposed to avoid and shoot at an enemy I can't see. Difficulty balancing is often a problem in LD48, such a pity. How about having the player start at any level?
I like it!
Really fun little game the basic gameplay and controls makes it simple yet very enjoyable! without doubt a masterpiece!
Nice. I like your style
Absolutely top notch graphics and sound and a ton of levels. This was wonderfully planned and scoped. Great work.
Really cool game, nice music, nice art, nice gameplay I like it.
Nice controls/mechanic. There should be separate ratings for soundFX and music. One "audio" score often leaves me feeling conflicted.
Great work all round on this one. Really appreciate the quick restart and addictive nature. Great visuals and sound, top fun from me!
Very good on all levels! Very charming :)
Solid! Nice mechanic and amazing pixels! A great use of the theme!
Great Art, and Concept.
Really impressive, the game is smooth, efficient, the levels are quite nicely made, well done !
Really tight final product, well done!
very polished game, was a lot of fun
Very good game, I liked it alot!
Huh game is nice... but look on his entries... he is using same engine evry year... That makes this game week i think :C
Awesome music and nice pixel gfx.
nice game although I find the music to be less then original as it feels like a slightly modified (and faster) version of Warcraft 2 - Orc - Harpsichord And Chorus song.
very neatly done! awesome job!
I've seen a lot of people thinking "the only the I can do is put my game underground" and a lot of them are similar, but you do it very well. I love the art and the music! Great job!
Like your game!
Amazing, well done!
very fun and original game! Great job!
Great art and very stable game.
Nice graphics, nice gameplay. I want to try a speed run ! :D
A overall, something I can't say often for LD games, awesome camera !
Nicely done. Like the music and the art. Would be nice to see the early levels teach the player the dash mechanic.
Good looking, fun to play and even hard levels. Well done!
Wow. This is pretty great. Nice work!
Nice job. I love this art style and the music builds up atmosphere very well...
Lots of fun this one is! Love the "fluidity" of the gameplay if that makes sense
I Liked this game and thought the Graphics were pretty cool and it fits the theme well :)
Awesome game! Liked that there were lots of levels :)
This is great!
I Made a Video about your Game https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=qTifAlLjt_w
Nice pixel art, neat and simple idea. Music could've hand a bit more work.
Great little game. LOL was playing it for ages not realising there was wasd move, with just the grapple lol. Teaches me not to read the instructions! Love the graphics.
I love this game BTW, maybe the best I've tried so far. A truly beautiful and enjoyable one!
Very nice graphics & clever movement system.
Nice music and art!
Really fun. I like the dash mechanic a lot.
This was pretty fun!
Loved it!
Very fun puzzle/platforming mechanics. Great music and art too!
Amazing pixelart!!!!! I liked the overall theme. Great game!
Great game. I love how many levels there were, and the variety of things that slowly get introduced.
Very nice art and sound, and an interesting jump mechanic!
This is a game I'm coming back to play once the rating is over. Good job!
It was fun. But I kept dying so I did not advance very far.
Very nice! I really enjoyed it. The graphics are great and the length of the game is really nicely done.
The dash ability was a bit jarring until I got used to it. Nice job.
Friggin nice pixel work!
Sick how some people manage to create cool stuff in just 48 hrs.
Cool concept, seams a bit easy.
The graphics and music was really good. The puzzles could be a little bit better, they were a bit repetitive
Thanks for the inspiration - this is the kind of game I'd love to make. Nice graphics, and the sound is great. Great concept, great execution.
Liked the style, quite happy mood. Very smooth game with nice mechanics.
I love the jumping and dashing. Very nice look and feel to the whole thing.
great game! loved how it got harded at lvl 10 and kept getting more and more awesome. Super cool music and art (- : i realy enjoyed your game and hope to see more from you in the future!
the dashing mechanic is great. would want to try this with a controller (although I'm not sure how you'd aim the dashing that way)
Cool music!
Really nice, polished game.
Took me a while to realize the dash was also an attack, not just rockets. Great pixel art! Nice work!
This ia great and good use of the game mechanics.
Being able to see the surface before you reach it is very snazzy, and the way that's utilized is also snazzy. I didn't understand why my upward mid-air dash didn't have a consistent height though, and Level 12 is just evil.
Very nice art!
Fun! The Blink mechanic is awesome, LOVE the music.
This was easy to pick up and very fun to play!
This is beautiful! The art and music are top-notch.
I had a little bit of a problem with the controls at first then I figured it out.
Very good entry!
First level I beat obly with teleport ability, because I thought It's feature and I can't move regulary. But further I need to move. It disappointed me a lot. Bit anyway this still a good job =)
Great little game, controls took a bit of getting used to but fun!
Super fun!! Smooth controls, nice mechanics and a lot of content for 48hrs!!
Addictive, and I loved the dash mechanic
Really good looking game
+ nice art
+ engaging music
+ interesting platformer and dashing mechanics
- most trolls don't bother you at all
- the first levels are a bit too easy
Really good, one of the best i have played !!!!
Very smart level design, impressive amount of levels (I reached level 11). The music indeed made me think of warcraft (maybe faster). To be able to see the surface is a good idea.
Just a little thing I noticed, sometimes I just didn't see an enemy because it was green over green floor.
Awesome, just wow! This game is very addictive.
I recognized the WarCraft-inspired music before I read it in your description. :-)
Fun uplifting music (no pun intended), nice style to the characters!
That teleport though, soo sick. Loved it
Really love the mechanic, it's super fun, and the perspective effect is awesome! The graphics and audio are awesome too :)
I really love the split-screen and dash technique!
Wow, it's really amazing, nothing to say, except bravo ! Congratulations, It's a great game, a little frustrating when you die in lava when you got close of the end of a long level but, very addictive, well designed, good idea for the helping 'aim/opp shot' indicator. Nice pixel art & good music ! Cool job !
Delay in dash is abit frustrating at times
Liked the game a lot, the victory screen could be a tiny bit more obvious but otherwise great great game.
Wow, so much levels respect!
Well done! The jump and dash mechanics take a bit to master, but in the end they work great. Very nice art!
Great little game, with some fun mechanics. Good job!
awesome graphics, one of my favourites in this compo
Cool entry, the mechanic is novel and fun! Nice implementation as well, good job!
Very impressive for 48 hours!
perfect game - awesome!
The game mecanism is quite interesting and innovative. Great music and graphics. Congrats
I love the way how you jump

Commonly known as dittany or "burning bush", Dictamnus albus L. is a long-lived perennial herb belonging to the family Rutaceae, ad is characterized by thick storage roots. The potential lifespan of an individual is estimated to be at least 30 years. Each individual usually produces one stem that bears many white-purple flowers, on a long raceme. Flowering begins after 5-7 years and occurs between the end of April and May. Fruits are star-shaped capsules composed of 5 carpels; the black pear-shaped seeds are dispersed autonomously, with a maximum dispersal distance of approximately 4 m.
Like most species of Rutaceae (e.g. rue and citruses), plants ofD. albus are characterized by oils, which are found both in leaves and in oil glands disposed throughout the stem and flowers. Handling plant may cause skin irritation or allergic reaction.
Typical habitat of D. albus is found at the fringes between woodlands and (semi)natural grasslands, or within open oak forests, in the southern warm-temperate regions of Europe and Central and Eastern Asia. In Italy, D. albus reaches its distribution limit: in Emilia-Romagna this species is present with isolated populations.

There is one question that all puppy raisers are asked: how can you raise a puppy just to give it to someone else? It is a hypothetical question, and here is how we answer it. We don't close our hearts off - that is impossible. We don't claim it will be easy – it is not. One thing we certainly do, however, is just accept the experience for what it is. We know from the beginning that this isn't about us. We are choosing to surrender to the cause. Throughout the experience, we try our very best to care for the dog without getting too involved. But, that doesn't happen. Both parties become emotionally attached.
We dedicate time to exposing the puppy to places and situations that he will learn from. Taking a puppy to the grocery store with a kid in tow and a long list of items to pick up isn't always easy. It is very much hard work. We puppy-proof our homes and ensure that the canine is healthy and happy. We teach the puppy basic obedience and commands. There are many laughs, sighs, and eye-rolls along the way. It is all so worth it.
We often worry about how the puppy will adjust to life in the kennels. Will the dog succeed in his final training? And, of course, We wonder what his warrior will be like. Near the end of the experience, We are excited yet dreadful about the day when we have to give the dog back to K9s For Warriors. We get emotional when that day arrives. Time passes and if we are lucky enough, we hear that the dog got matched to a warrior. Graduation day arrives, and we beam with pride and feel wonderful about the mission we completed. That is what it's like to raise a puppy for K9s.

The 6 Best Backpacking Utensils
Backpacking through the wilderness is among the most exhilarating experiences you can have — but it's also among the most exhausting. It takes serious effort to trek through the forest for eight hours a day, and when you get to camp, you're going to be tired — and hungry. That's why you need to make sure you have the best backpacking utensils. To aid you in your search for the right ones, here's what to consider:
Size: The types of utensils you need for a backpacking trip are different than what you'd use for the average camping excursion. Mainly, they should be compact, since every item counts when you're loading a backpack for hiking. That means you may want to consider hybrid items like "sporks," multi-use tools, or folding utensils that won't hog room in your bag.
Weight: If you're going to lug the items on your back all day, you don't want them to be any heavier than necessary. The weight will largely boils down to the type of material, each of which has own pros and cons.
Material: Plastic utensils are typically the lightest option, and also the most affordable; however, they're also flimsier and less durable. Plastic also isn't as heat-resistant as metal, so it's often useless for stirring boiling water or roasting things over a campfire. Stainless steel, on the other hand, is among the most durable materials, but also the heaviest. Aluminum is similar and tends to be clunky — and as with all of the metal options, you're going to contend with heat transfer issues (which can lead to burning yourself on the handles since you won't want to haul along a pot holder). Titanium is typically the best metal option, being the most lightweight; however it's usually the most expensive, too.
1. Best Spork: Most Durable, Made Of Titanium
Made of lightweight titanium, this backpacking spork has a fork on one side, a spoon on the other, and a stiff outer edge that's serrated to help cut through food. Unlike some sporks that feature both utensils on the same end, these tools are separated, giving the spoon enough of a rim to comfortably hold food and creating a fork that isn't dipped and awkward. The titanium material makes it sturdier than its plastic counterparts and less likely to bend or fold while using. It's also heat-resistant with a high melting point that can be directly held over an open flame. But at $15 for a single spork, it's not for the casual camper either.
2. A More Affordable Alternative: Plastic, Comes In A Four Pack
The utensils in this plastic spork set are shaped similarly to the titanium version, but are lighter to carry. And, at roughly $2.50 per item, they're significantly cheaper, too. The Triton plastic material is BPA-free and you can put them in the dishwasher when you get home from your trip. The plastic won't scratch your camping pots like metal does and the heat tolerance is slightly higher than some plastic versions, so they won't melt if you stick them in boiling water. The knife isn't as strong as the titanium version, but if you're looking for a super lightweight, affordable option, this set is a great choice.
3. Best Separated Utensils: High-Quality, Made Of Aluminum
If you're someone who doesn't like eating with an all-in-one, spork-style backpacking utensils, this three-piece set is a great choice that separates them without being bulky. The knife, spoon, and fork come on a sturdy carabiner that keeps them together, and each utensil has a hexagon-shaped hole on the bottom that doubles as a 3, 4, and 5 millimeter wrench. While not quite as lightweight as titanium, the aluminum alloy is strong and durable — plus, the whole trio still only weighs 1.44 ounces. Besides being on the more expensive end of this list, the only other drawback to this option is that it doesn't come with a carrying case; if that feature is important to you and you don't mind a small amount of extra weight, try this utensil set instead.
4. A More Affordable Separated Option: Foldable, Made Of Stainless Steel
These folding camping utensils are durable and strong, but only take up very little space in your bag (the whole kit measures at just 2.3 by 6.3 inches). Each set comes with a spoon, fork, knife, and carrying bag. The hinges are sturdy and fold together easily without sticking or catching; when open, the clasps keep the utensils steady so they don't wobble or bend. The fact that they're made of stainless steel makes them slightly heavier, but also cheaper. If you're on a trip where every gram matters, however, consider this similar MSR option instead.
5. Best For Group Trips: The Largest Set, Comes With Tons Of Extras
Equipped with 24 pieces of cookware and accessories, this backpacking set offers a compact way to bring a full kitchen's worth of cooking utensils along on your trip. In addition to four sets of forks, spoons, and knives, the 11.7 by 7.7-inch bag includes a large foldable spoon and spatula, utility knife, spice shaker, cutting board, scrubber, camp towel, and two condiment containers. The salt and pepper shaker are fully waterproof and come with screw-on modules to keep them fresh and dry. The whole thing weighs less than 2 pounds and features special pouches and holders for each piece. This is a must-have for anyone who takes frequent group camping, hiking, or backpacking trips.
6. Honorable Mention: A Multi-Use Tool With A Bottle Opener, Corkscrew, & More
For folks who love a good all-in-one multi-tool, this versatile backpacking gadget includes a fork, spoon, pocket knife, mini flashlight, corkscrew, bottle opener, and tiny spoon (everything is made of stainless steel). The main spoon and fork are detachable, the unit is easy to clean, and it comes with a durable nylon carrying pouch with a built-in belt loop. Best of all, it's super compact — and affordable, too. Choose from two colors: red and silver.

text: Air Conditioner Troubleshooting: What to Do Before Calling for AC Repair Posted October 7, 2015 The fluctuating weather in Stuart can mean a host of things, from the changing seasons to flipping off the switch of your air conditioner for the cooler months. Of course, complete home comfort is your year-round goal, but sometimes our heating and cooling equipment doesn't feel like cooperating. That doesn't mean that you're headed for AC repair though. When your air conditioner quits working or you notice it operating weirdly, there are a couple things you can check on before calling in the pros at Breathe Healthier Air for AC repair. Here are a few troubleshooting tips to try before giving us a shout. 1) Check your thermostat This is one of the simplest checks that homeowners can do themselves, and may solve the issue more than they'd like to admit. Ensure your thermostat is: Set to "cool" Tuned to be around room temperature Using a new battery 2) Look at the air conditioner filter Dirty filters can cause air conditioners to act erratically, making them shut down without notice and without making a noise. Air conditioner filters have been the cause for many AC repair calls in the past, but there's no reason to pick up the phone when you can swap it out yourself. Not to mention that a dirty air conditioner filter diminishes your system's efficiency and reduces airflow. 3) Find and inspect your air conditioner's switches Nearly all of the time, switches to your air conditioner are found: Around the air conditioner itself and usually look like your regular light switch. At your circuit breaker panel. Identify the breaker that controls your air conditioner and find out if it is in the middle position or the Off position. If it is, cycle the breaker to Off and then flip it back to the On position. 4) Open all of your vents A common mistake among homeowners is to close vents in vacant rooms, but this might actually lead to a need for AC repair. Closing these vents could potentially cause your system to be less efficient and shut down because of added airflow pressure. If you've done these four troubleshooting tips and still aren't having any luck getting your system back operating, it's probably time to give us a call. The team at Breathe Healthier Air in Stuart are here to be sure all of your AC repair needs are met, so give us a call at 772-600-7151 to set up an appointment with us. Back To Blog

White Moon Teachings are a curriculum in personal empowerment and priestess training. The course takes approximately two years to complete. The course is eclectic and Goddess-centered, built upon the foundation of the Women's Spirituality Movement as it has evolved over the last 35 years. This training is open to people of all faiths who are seeking to incorporate the Goddess into their existing spirituality. Curriculum includes Goddess studies, ritual, meditation, prayer, magick, healing, divination, dreams, and astral work. One-on-one instruction and interaction with other students is provided. Graduates of this course are eligible to enrol in a public ministry course and to receive ordination through The Order of The White Moon.
Level I (four months) focuses on Goddess studies, sacred space, ritual, and personal empowerment. The first level essentially serves as a foundation for daily practice. Students observe the seasons, connect with the moon, and begin mediation, energy work, and spell crafting. Both novice and experienced students are required to begin with Level I. In this, and each subsequent level, students create a final project focused on a particular Goddess.
Level II (four months) deepens the study of meditation and energy work and introduces the practice of divination, focusing on the Motherpeace Tarot. This level also contains a strong emphasis on chakra work and self-healing. Level II students choose to follow the Path of Prayer or the Path of Magick.
Level III (five months) strongly emphasizes dream, astral, and shamanic work, and introduces body-based lunar astrology. In addition, students choose three elective areas of study: gemstones, herbs, candle magick, dream work, healing, and Tarot spells. For the last month, students undergo a practical internship in teaching, divination, healing, or prayer.
Students must satisfactorily complete all of the assignments in order to receive course certificates. Levels II & III include some elective course offerings (where students may choose what to study), but most of the course material is required.
Ceremonial Cords and framable Completion Certificates are awarded at no extra cost to those completing each level.
Level I : Initiate, white cord
Level II : Adept, red cord
Level III : Priestess, black cord
Qualifying graduates of Level III may apply to Level IV for public ministry training. Graduates of Level IV are eligible to receive ordination.
Level I graduates automatically become members of The Order of The White Moon or our affiliated Order of the Rainbow Moon.
Tuition is US$30/AU$40 per 4 weeks of lessons. There is no extra fee for moving through the lessons more slowly. The entire fee for each level is US$120/AU$160. (Level III includes one month free.) Students must also buy approximately three textbooks for each course level.
Tuition covers lessons & assignments, personalized instructor evaluation & feedback, and discussion & support from other students. In addition, students will receive audio lessons of guided meditations & exercises. Any other materials needed should be readily available around your house or at a local thrift store. No expensive tools are needed.
The Order of The White Moon is an eclectic international order of women dedicated to The Goddess. The purpose of the Order is two-fold: to help restore spiritual balance on earth by restoring the Divine Feminine to her rightful place, and to assist female seekers in their personal and spiritual development. It is the position of the Order that all spiritual paths and belief systems can benefit by incorporating the Divine Feminine.
The Order offers personal empowerment and priestess training to women aged 18 or older, via our online schools or through a local system.
We are a not for profit organisation. Each member is her own authority, sovereign over her own life. She is not asked to bow before anyone. However, she is bound to conduct herself in accordance with the traditions. (Found here: http://orderwhitemoon.org/about/traditions.html)
All members will be treated with respect regardless of race, class, age, size, ability, sexual orientation, nationality, personal beliefs, background, or any other attribute. Above all else, we honour the Goddess in every woman.

Does Delaware offer potential tax advantages for existing trusts?

Can trust assets be invested directly in foreign securities?
How is Wilmington Trust different from other trust companies?
Wilmington Trust provides personal trust services for clients of financial professionals. We are a full-service trust company, providing all of the services available from a typical bank or trust company with one notable exception: Wilmington Trust does not offer investment management services. Our advisor partners manage the investment of trust assets. While as a Fiduciary we do provide investment oversight, we do not provide any investment management services for the trust's assets. This is very different from traditional bank and trust companies that typically require trust assets to be held and managed by the bank or trust companies.
Where are you chartered?
Wilmington Trust is incorporated under Delaware law and authorized to engage in trust business under federal law. Delaware is considered one of the most favorable states for both trust companies and those seeking to create trusts. Advisors nationwide work with Wilmington Trust in order to take advantage of Delaware's trust-friendly statutes.
As an advisor, can I manage the assets in my client's trust?
Yes. We routinely work with advisors who have discretionary authority over their client's assets, as well as with advisors who do not have the ability to take discretionary accounts. In both scenarios, the advisor is able to manage the assets in the client's trust.
Does Wilmington Trust compete with advisors for retail business?
No. Our business model is unique in that we do not compete with our advisor partners. We provide trust administration services, while the advisor acts as investment manager. We do not accept trust accounts directly from clients.
Will Wilmington Trust employees speak personally with my clients?
We may, although the extent of our communication with your clients is based on your guidance. In most cases, advisors are comfortable with our trust administrators speaking directly with their clients concerning trust account matters. Certainly, though, when it is necessary to carry out our duties as trustee, we will speak directly with your clients concerning their trust account. We encourage advisors to participate in any such communications with their clients.
How do you charge for your services?
Our fees are highly competitive and are either based on the value of the trust or are charged as a flat fee, depending on the nature of each trust relationship. We charge additional fees for tax preparation and other items, such as management of business and partnership assets.
How do advisors get compensated for their work on trusts?
Advisors are compensated through asset management fees or commissions, much the same way advisors are paid for managing non-trust assets.
Can I transfer an existing trust to Wilmington Trust?
Yes. Wilmington Trust can assist advisors and their clients in weighing the benefits of moving an existing trust, and, where appropriate, in completing the transfer.
Do I have a choice in where trust assets are held?
Yes. Wilmington Trust can work with almost any custodian. We require electronic connectivity with the custodian, but with data conduits already in place to scores of broker dealers and custodians, it is likely you can use your custodian to hold trust assets. When discussing a new trust with Wilmington Trust, be sure to advise us which custodian your firm uses.
Will Wilmington Trust serve as administrator of a trust without being trustee?
Yes. We can do this by acting as agent for the trustee. In some trust transfer situations this is the only way we can provide services.
What criteria are used to determine the investment policy for the trust?
The trust document is the main source of information regarding the appropriate investment mix for the trust. Whether the trust has present and/or future beneficiaries has great bearing on the way the trust must be managed. If the grantor is still living, the grantor's input also is important. Additionally, as trustee, Wilmington Trust will have recommendations, based on our experience as a corporate trustee and our understanding of the trust document. Relevant factors include the trust's time horizon, liquidity concerns, tax considerations, and legal constraints. The investment policy statement is a collective statement, agreed on by all parties, as to how the investment manager will select investments.
How much cash should be held in a trust account?
A trust should hold enough cash to meet short-term liquidity needs, such as regular distributions, possible discretionary distributions, and fees and taxes that may be paid during the next four to six months. We maintain a separate cash account for each trust to meet these needs and minimize disruptions to the investment portfolio.
How often are accounts reviewed?
All accounts are reviewed within 90 days of acceptance and at least annually thereafter. The review is conducted by the administrator assigned to the trust, in conjunction with our portfolio manager and you as the advisor. Information about the beneficiaries' circumstances is reviewed and updated, and the investment policy is reviewed for compliance and appropriateness.
Does Delaware offer potential tax advantages for existing trusts?
Yes. Delaware has no state income tax or capital gains tax on accumulated earnings and capital gains on assets held in irrevocable trusts if there are no remainder beneficiaries who are Delaware residents. Delaware also boasts strong asset-protection laws and trust-friendly courts. To learn more about the many benefits of creating a trust in Delaware, click here.
Does Wilmington Trust act as trustee for charitable trusts?
Wilmington Trust can serve as trustee for virtually any personal trust, including the various kinds of charitable trusts. Our trust professionals have a high degree of administrative expertise in all aspects of charitable trusts and private foundations.
Can trust assets be invested directly in foreign securities?
No. Due to issues with potential tax consequences and foreign currency exchange rates for clients, Wilmington Trust no longer allows Financial Advisors to buy stocks and bonds denominated in foreign currencies directly for any Wilmington Trust account. However, mutual funds that invest in foreign securities and American Depository Receipts (ADRs) may still continue to be purchased; just not individual foreign securities.
