Insurance Coverage of Funds Over Which Bank Trust Division Acts as Fiduciary
November 6, 1985
Roger A. Hood, Assistant General Counsel
Your letter of July 5, 1985 requests certain information regarding deposit insurance coverage of funds over which the trust division of the bank acts as fiduciary. The following response is a reply to your questions:
(1) "Trust funds" held by an insured bank are insured pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 1817(i). The term "trust funds'' is defined by 12 U.S.C. § 1813(p) to include funds held by an insured bank as trustee, executor, administrator, guardian or agent. These sections, read together, provide insurance coverage with respect to funds held by a bank in its capacity as an agent, separate and apart from funds deposited directly by the principal. This statutory coverage controls over the provisions of our regulations relating to the insurance of funds deposited by an agent (other than an insured bank) on behalf of his or her principal (12 C.F.R. § 330.2(b)) which provides for the aggregation of funds deposited by a principal with funds deposited on behalf of that principal by his or her agent. The same would hold true with respect to funds deposited as guardian, etc. under the provisions of 12 C.F.R. § 330.2(c).
Similarly, funds held by a bank, as trustee, under a revocable trust would be "trust funds" within the purview of the FDI Act, and insured separately, pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 1817(i), from funds deposited by either the settlor or beneficiary and without regard of the kinship of the parties. On the other hand, funds deposited in a revocable trust account by an individual, as described in § 330.3, are insured separately from other funds of the owner only if the beneficiary of the trust is the spouse, child or grandchild of the owner.
Funds held by a bank as executor or administrator are "trust funds" and, accordingly, insured separately from other funds of the bank, but 12 C.F.R. § 330.4 has applicability here, because it provides that such funds shall be insured in the aggregate to $100,000. The result is that funds of a decedent held by any executor or administrator, whether an insured bank or not, are insured to the maximum amount of $100,000.
Section 330.8 relates to funds of public units deposited by the official custodian thereof. The term "official custodian" is intended to refer to county or municipal treasurers, tax collectors, clerks of court and similar public officials charged with the responsibility of receiving, holding, expending and accounting for public monies. This regulation is directed toward a relationship quite different from that of a bank acting in a fiduciary capacity. To the extent that a bank may hold "trust funds" for the benefit of a public unit, those funds would be insured under the principles of section 330.8 which tracks the language of section 11(a)(2) of the FDI Act (12 U.S.C. § 1821(a)(2)). The exception in section 7(i) was added in 1974 when the basic coverage for deposits was raised to $40,000, and time and savings deposits of public units were granted separate coverage of $100,000. Thus, the then-existing limits for deposits of public units ($40,000 for demand deposits and $100,000 for time and savings deposits) were applicable whether the funds were held by an insured bank as "trust funds" or deposited by the treasurer or other official custodian. (The $40,000 limit for demand deposits has been raised to $100,000.)
Section 330.10 relates to the insurance of "trust interests" in deposit accounts. The term "trust interest" is defined in section 330.1(c)(4) to be an interest in an irrevocable express trust and excludes any interest retained by the settlor. Section 330.1(c)(5) provides that with respect to trust funds held by an insured bank, "trust interest" will have the same meaning as trust funds in section 3(p) of the FDI Act. The section 3(p) definition has no requirement of irrevocability and no exemption for retained interests. To the contrary, section 3(p) includes funds held by an insured bank as agent, a relationship which would commonly be revocable and would reflect a retained interest by the settlor (or more properly, the principal). To this extent, section 330.10 is applicable to trust interests deposited by an insured bank, but the term is defined differently depending on whether the fiduciary is an insured bank or not. This rationale lends support for the longstanding interpretation that the coverage of section 7(i) which is applicable to each "trust estate" is applied separately to the beneficial interests of an estate. In other words, section 330.10, with respect to funds held or deposited by a bank as a fiduciary, could be read:
"All [trust funds] for the same beneficiary . . . shall be added together and insured up to $100,000 in the aggregate . . . ."
(2) See the discussion in (1) above, relating to § 330.10.
(3) Assuming that the necessary records pursuant to section 330.1 have been kept and that the nature of the account is revealed on the books of the bank, the interest of each beneficiary in the irrevocable trust should be insured up to $100,000. Thus, the total insurance coverage would be $300,000.
(4) The answer to this question depends on the party for whom the bank is holding the funds in its capacity as trustee. If the funds are held as a sinking fund to pay bondholders, each bondholder's interest would be recognized for insurance purposes (12 C.F.R. § 332.8(b)). If, on the other hand, the funds represent the proceeds of the bond sale to be held and disbursed to the issuer (or to contractors or others to carry out the purpose for which the bonds were issued), the funds would be held for the benefit of the issuer.
(5)(a) Trust funds would be insured separately from non-trust funds held by the same customer in a single bank.
(b) The beneficiary of an irrevocable trust account, assuming all recordkeeping and other similar criteria are adhered to, would be insured up to $100,000 separately from deposits held in the bank's commercial division.
(c) If an individual bondholder was in fact insured up to $100,000 from bond proceeds held by the bank's trust division, (see (4), above), his entitlement to additional deposit insurance coverage for deposits held in the commercial bank's division would not be affected by the holding of those trust funds.
(d) The fact that a beneficiary of a pension or profit-sharing plan is insured up to $100,000 does not affect that beneficiary's entitlement to additional deposit insurance coverage in the commercial division.
(e) The interests of a beneficiary in two trusts created by the same settlor and held by the same bank, as trustee, would be aggregated for purposes of determining maximum insurance coverage. Trusts created by separate settlors for the same beneficiary would not be so aggregated.
(f) The interests of a beneficiary of a pension account and a profit-sharing account created by the same employer (settlor) and held by the same bank, as trustee, would be aggregated for insurance purposes.
(g) Separate insurance coverage would be afforded for the named deposits, in each case, so long as the settlor is not the same for the two named accounts.
(h) An irrevocable trust account and a nondiscretionary agency account would each come within the definition of "trust funds" in section 3(p) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. § 1813(p)). Accordingly, if created by the same settlor for the benefit of the same beneficiary, the interests would be aggregated for insurance purposes.
(i) Assuming that the beneficiary of the bond account is in fact the owner of the funds and entitled to insurance coverage for that account, separate insurance coverage for an irrevocable trust account and a bond account should pertain.
(j) See individual responses.
(6) Section 330.8 is not applicable to the above described fact situation.

Completely unrelated picture, but doesn't Claire look so grown-up here? What happened to my baby? Good thing there's another one on the way!
Although I know I have a ways to improve on disconnecting myself from it, I love having a smartphone. I love that I no longer have to copy down directions, recipes, or addresses ahead of time. I love that we can find the nearest anywhere-but-McDonald's on road trips and that we can occupy Claire with an episode of Curious George for just a few minutes of quiet on long flights. It really has fulfilled all of my wildest dreams.
But, really, my absolute favorite thing about owning a smartphone is how much easier it is to get pictures and videos of Claire into the hands of her adoring fans. Aka her grandparents and great-grandparents.
When Claire unexpectedly arrived, in our poor college student days, I threw our camera in my purse as we headed to the hospital, just in case. Adam went home to grab our bags and laptop later, but of course, the wireless on the laptop had to break at that exact moment. So, we had to ask a hospital visitor to bring a wireless adapter with them. Finally, more than twenty-four hours later, we were able to send our families a picture of Claire. Let me tell you, twenty-four hours is pretty long in grandparent years. If we had smartphones back then, it would have been more like ten minutes!
Without further ado, my favorite apps for giving the grandparents what they want:
- Postagram. Claire's great-grandparents are all over the place when it comes to technology {from also owning an iPhone to not owning a computer at all} but they all like to get mail. In my pre-smartphone days, I tried to send them pictures of Claire every other month. I had to choose the pictures, have prints made, buy the albums, put the photos in the albums, and mail them at the post office {always a fun place to take young children}. I would estimate it cost about $40 each time. For that very same price, I can send them each a Postagram every single week. It's a postcard with a little message and a pop-out photo from your Instagram feed that costs $1.00 to mail in the US and $2.00 to Canada. The app saves your addresses and payment info, so it only takes a few minutes to spread some snail-mail cheer. All from the comfort of your couch!
- YouTube Capture. As you can probably guess from the above paragraph, I am pretty lazy. Before discovering this app, I would take lots of videos of Claire before finally getting around to connecting my phone to the computer to upload them to YouTube. Because that's obviously too much work, right? But, thanks to this app, when I catch Claire doing something new/funny/cute, I can upload the video to YouTube right away, straight from my phone. And then email Adam or my parents to check it out when they have a chance.
I really think if they made a sixth love language it would be pictures, don't you?


text: Angry Birds is getting an epic facelift. The smash-hit smartphone game, hailed for years as the biggest thing to happen to mobile gaming since Snake, is getting an upgrade that looks nothing like the rest of the Angry Birds franchise. Gaming news site Kotaku says Angry Birds Epic will be a turn-based, role-playing game, which, in laymans terms, means players will assume the character of one of the birds in a game driven by an actual story.

Two sets of official poster for KBS 2TV Monday and Tuesday drama, "Lovers at Haeundae Beach" were released for the first time drawing the attention and expectation of the people very fast. The two official poster sets were released before the production release event to be held on August 1.
In the comprehensive poster in which major casters appear, Kim Gang-u (Lee Tae-seong in the drama) and Jo Yeo-jeong (Go So-ra in the drama) take a posture of the lovers in the popular movie Titanic standing at the bow of the ship, enhancing their lovely attractions. And the poster concretely reveals the characteristics of the major drama casts such as Jeong Seok-won (Choi Jun-hyeok in the drama), Nam Gyu-ri (Yun Se-na in the drama), Gang Min-gyeong (Hwang Ju-hui in the drama), Lim Ha-ryong (Go Jung-sik in the drama), Lee Jae-yeong (Lee Sun-sin in the drama), Park Sang-myeon (Bu Yeong-do in the drama), Kim Hye-eun (Yuk Tam-hui in the drama), drawing the attention of the people.
In particular, the two shots poster of Kim Gang-u and Jo Yeo-jeong show that Jo Yeo-jeong holds up Kim Gang-u in a fishing net, hinting the thrilling wits and interesting humors with joyful comic touches and concepts in the drama to be aired from next week.
What is still more, the drama "Lovers at Haeundae Beach" is expected to present all the landscapes of happy laughter and comic episodes, candid and humane humors in the dialogues and the earnest and beautiful codes of warm family life and human relationship that people in all generations may observe and enjoy without any burdens or difficulties.
Regarding the contents of the drama "Lovers at Haeundae Beach" a producing staff commented, "The drama "Lovers at Haeundae Beach" will cool off the summer heats with joyful laughter and fun and each character in the drama has been set up to be very characteristic and unique to draw the attention of the viewers very rapidly. The two sheets of the official drama posters revealing the comprehensive atmosphere of the whole drama predict that the drama is not a simple romantic comedy with common love stories but a completely new version of such kinds. We expect all our viewers enjoy the drama to cool off the sultry summer heats."
On the other hand, the drama "Lovers at Haeundae Beach" in which star class top talents such as Kim Gang-u, Jo Yeo-jeong, Jeong Seok-won, Nam Gyu-ri and Gang Min-gyeong have been casted is scheduled to be presented as the KBS 2TV Monday and Tuesday drama following the drama, "Big" and it will be aired on August 6 Monday night at 9:55 PM on KBS 2TV after its first debut through the production release event on August 1.

With the Global Climate Crisis grabbing more and more headlines every day, people are becoming more aware of their environmental impact and implementing changes to both their personal habits and their businesses to be greener. Plant-based diets and not purchasing products that utilize plastic are becoming more mainstream just to name a few trends. However another movement which has garnered a lot of media attention recently is all about people choosing to take alternate forms of transportation rather than airplanes which contribute more heavily to the world's CO2 emissions. With airline CO2 emissions rising up to 70% faster than foreseen and an intercontinental flight contributing the same emissions output as a years worth of driving, it's no wonder people are starting to question their airline use. Climate change activist Greta Thunberg was the first to make major headlines when crossed the Atlantic on a zero-emissions yacht last year for a summit, and ever since then there have been several articles on people looking for alternative forms of transportation, with an expected increase in the use of trains as a means of transportation.
So, the question is, in the world of business where time is money and logistics often takes precedence over costs, should it also take precedence over the environment? In an age where consumers are being more conscientious about the companies they endorse by the products they buy, are we now contractually obligated to take trains over planes? It´s a complex subject, but the short answer is no—and here's why.
The airline industry is accountable for less than 2.5% of total global CO2 emissions. While this is still a significant number, it pales in comparison to other industries like energy production and fossil fuel companies––and while business travelers account for only 12% percent of airlines' passengers, they account for as much as 75% of profits. Without business travelers, the travel industry would collapse. And as for tourism, you could argue that the increase in travel and exposure to other cultures is one of the main contributors to empathy and understanding in the world, leading to broadening horizons not just on a cultural level but also leads to becoming more environmentally conscious. Instead of avoiding flights altogether, we must find ways to reduce, neutralize and possibly even invert our environmental impact when traveling, but also crucially, send a message to businesses and governments that the actual largest contributors to CO2 emissions must be curbed, and it all starts with small changes to our daily lives.
However, It is possible to travel for business and if not be carbon neutral, at least leave a lighter footprint. If not for yourself then for your stakeholders. There are many benefits to being greener when it comes to your corporate business travel, aside from helping the environment, of course. You can advertise to your stakeholders that you are environmentally friendly and doing your part to combat the climate crisis. Your kids will thank you. (or at least not shame you), and you are likely to attract more customers who are looking to support companies that are environmentally conscious, versus a scenario where you might actually lose customers to companies who do prioritize the environment.
The following are some of the easiest ways to reduce your carbon footprint on business travel, but also your everyday life. The following are some of the easiest ways to reduce your carbon footprint on business travel, but also your everyday life.
1. Carbon Offsetting:
This is perhaps one of the easiest and most mainstream ways to offset your flight emissions. Many airlines offer this option at checkout, where for a small fee you contribute to a scheme that will neutralize your personal carbon emissions from the flight you are taking. Since CO2 emissions are spread in the air evenly, regardless of the geographic location where they are emitted, so planting trees as a way to offset your flight`s carbon footprint in one part of the world is the same as planting them in any other. If your airline doesn't offer carbon offsetting during the booking process, you can calculate and offset independently with Swiss company myclimate or by planting trees in Kenya with CarbonFootprint.
2. Stay in Eco-Friendly Accommodation:
Staying with hotels that are carbon neutral, use green energy (or are energy efficient) and partake in recycling programs are a great way to be greener when traveling for business. Websites like Ecobnb and Book Different help you find these kind of accomodation easily.
3. Carry Reusable Cutlery:
Any business traveler will tell you they spend quite a fair amount of time at airport lounges and restaurants where often the use of plastic utensils and straws are the only options. There are many kits that allow you to easily––and stylishly––use your own lightweight utensils that you can carry in a briefcase, purse or carry on. This bamboo travel cutlery set includes a fork, spoon, knife and straw that folds easily making it easy to take with you anywhere, and also looks great.
4. Reusable Water Bottles:
In the same vein as cutlery, carrying a reusable water bottle for travel is a great and effective way to reduce your environmental impact. Most airports have refillable water stations and Swell bottles can keep your drink cold for up to 24 hours and warm for 12. This will also save you from paying the outrageous prices they charge for bottled water at airports and on airplanes
5. Alternative Forms of Transport:
This is a big one that's been making headlines recently. While we understand more than anyone that when it comes to business you need to get where you need to go on time, when it is within your power to take other forms of transportation such as trains instead of planes, this is a good option, particularly in Europe where rail systems are extensive. And while often it may seem that taking a 6 hour train from one city to another is less efficient than a 1.5 hour flight, the train may actually be saving you both time and money. Most train stations are located in city centers, saving you the commute to the airport and the hours you have to arrive early to check in, pass security and board your flight, not to mention waiting for your bag if you're checking one.
6. Uber Green:
A pilot program for the company available in some cities, keep an eye out when you land at your destination for this option which will provide you with an electric or hybrid vehicle instead of a traditional gas powered one. If this isn't an option, then consider taking a train, bus or carpool into town when you land.
7. Flying Commercial Over Private:
The use of private planes or company jets contributes significantly more to carbon output than flying commercial. More people on an aircraft spread the impact out over more numbers, but taking a G7 for three people is definitely not the most environmentally friendly way to travel, even if you can offset the carbon emissions.
8. Travel Locally:
While this is the first rule of sustainable travel, it's not really an easy option for most business trips. You're traveling for an important reason and you shouldn't feel bad about that. However when it is in your power to do things on a local level, or perhaps have a video call instead of flying an entire team in for a meeting you should take it as long if it's viable.
9. Don't Litter:
This seems like an obvious one, but still merits mentioning in 2020. When you're on the go and have a million things on your mind, it can be easy to forget the plastic packaging of your new headphones or water bottle which could end up polluting the environment. Recycling has become easier than ever and is a small but important step in your personal habits which can go a long way towards helping the environment.
10. Educating Your Employees on Sustainable Travel:
Perhaps a memo, a newsletter or a presentation, but simply letting people know that these options exist may have a huge collective impact on the environment. By leveraging the power of your company to communicate and educate a group of people on these small changes they could implement, you're taking part in the awareness revolution which may eventually help save our planet.
The Seeds of Change
Even though the aviation industry is not the single largest contributor to global CO2 emissions, the industry is only set to grow more and more in the coming years and the output will certainly grow higher. Technology has not yet caught up to the aviation industry and unlike cars we are far away from being able to power any large scale commercial aircraft with electricity, so we should try and make changes where we can.
It is important to keep in mind that what we really need is to change the large scale impact to our environment caused by the largest contributors to pollution, but one way we can send a message to our governments, politicians, businesses and even peers is by the personal choices that we make in our everyday lives and the industries we choose to support.

Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
How do I thread a Handy Stitch hand held sewing machine, as seen on TV?
By email@example.com from Phoenix, AZ
Hopefully this image that I made will make up for the inadequate one in the manual
The numbers in the images match the reference numbers below:
1. Load the Bobbin:
I just received a Singer handheld sewing machine and the arm won't rise high enough to thread the needle. How can I adjust the arm? The rotary knob won't rise any higher than it was in the package.
These are not always the easiest machine to use and ThriftyFun receives questions quite frequently so maybe you can find the answer on this link: There are answers for several brands so just keep looking for yours.
There are quite a few YouTube videos that demonstrate how to use this machine so check some of these out as seeing someone make the moves might help.
How do I thread one of these machines?
These are handy little machines but threading seems to be the hardest to understand.
It takes a little practice but very handy to use.
I need help with a step by step procedure for how to thread a Handy sewing machine. I have tried all the steps in every article, even the videos. It is still not working.
Step 1
Thread the Handy Stitch by passing the thread from the bobbin or spool up through the two thread guides on the needle arm, through the tension control and down to the needle.
Step 2
Pass the thread from back to front through the needle, using the threader if necessary by inserting the threader through the needle, placing the end of the thread in the loop of the threader behind the needle and pulling through.
Step 3
Pull a couple of inches of thread out through the needle before beginning to sew.
Source: ourpastimes.com/
Step 1
Put the thread from the bobbin through the first thread guide on the needle arm, through the two plates in the tension control, then through the second thread guide at the end of the needle arm.
Step 2
Use the provided needle threader to feed the thread into the eye of the needle.
Step 3
Turn the rotary once so the thread goes under the fastening plate. Lift up the fastening plate and pull the thread out from underneath.
This is a diagram of the Handy Stitch Sewing machine to help you understand it better. Instructions are great, but if you don't see a diagram also it is hard to follow them.
There are many users of this little machine that have threw their hands in the air - and then thrown the machine away but maybe you will be able to understand some of the instructions presented here.
I bought one for a simple sewing project one time and it broke before I could get through a few seams. I'm afraid it isn't a very good product. If possible, I would just return it and get a small sewing machine from a decent brand. Lots of sewing stores sell refurbished sewing machines.
Good luck!
Step 1
Turn the rotary wheel to raise the needle arm.
Step 2
Lift fastening plate, pull the thread out and cut with your seam ripper.
Step 3
Turn rotary wheel again so the needle goes up and down one more time.
Step 4
It will create a loop on backside of your fabric.

Here are two Youtube videos:
Since you did not say what brand you have it is difficult to pin point specific instructions but maybe one of these will be like yours.
There are bunches of video how to's on YouTube:
Just look for your machine and you will be off and stitching in no time!
How do I tighten the stitches underneath the fabric?
Tension issues are a problem with many users who posted a review on Amazon. Try looking for a full-sized machine at a garage or estate sale. www.amazon.com/

How do you thread a Handy Stitch machine?
Denise from Beaumont, CA
Here is a link to some owners of this machine, perhaps if you emailed them, they could forward you the threading instructions.
http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf64090108.tip.html (03/16/2008)
I received a Handy Stitch as a gift and it had no instruction manual. I did finally figure out how to thread it (bobbin to hole on stationary thread guide, to tension control to metal ring just behind where needle goes into machine, to needle threaded back to front. I have no way of knowing if this is absolutely correct, but it worked and I did get a pretty, durable stitch. The stitch is a chain stitch and does pull out from the end of the stitching unless the thread is pulled to the back of the fabric. (08/05/2008)

Discovery has launched Vitality Weight Loss Rewards, with the aim of getting members to lose weight.
The company stated that the "behaviour-based intervention" will combat the issues of being overweight and obesity.
"Vitality Weight Loss Rewards uses behavioural economics principles and methods to help and reward participants – with a Body Mass Index or waist circumference outside recommended ranges – to reach weight-loss goals in short, manageable cycles," said Discovery.
Vitality's Dr Craig Nossel said almost 70% of women and 40% of men are classified as obese or overweight in South Africa.
Weight Loss Rewards combines weight-tracking tools, guided access to dietitians, weight-management programmes such as Weight Watchers, and Vitality Active Rewards, said the company.
"Extended discounts on healthy food options offered through Vitality's HealthyFood benefit are part of the rewards."
Weight Loss Rewards
Discovery provided the following summary of the Weight Loss Rewards:
- Vitality's weight-loss intervention will run through smartphones with the Discovery app.
- Vitality Weight Loss Rewards will be recommended for specific people, aged 18 to 79, who fall into a qualifying range following a Vitality-verified weigh in.
- Vitality members eligible to participate are those with a BMI greater or equal to 30, or a BMI between 25 and 29.9 and a waist circumference greater or equal to 94cm for males, and greater or equal to 80cm for females.
- Goal setting is personal and based on clinically-significant and safe weight loss.
- There are three levels of goals and rewards.
- During the initial 12-week cycle, Vitality points, and additional cash back on HealthyFood, form part of the goal tracking on the app.
- Vitality Weight Loss Rewards carries no additional costs, only those associated with a Vitality Health Check, a weigh in with the Vitality Wellness Network, or a Vitality Fitness Assessment.

Key Facts
Filipinos rely heavily on aquaculture, and tilapia in particular, to fulfill their protein needs. About 12 percent of their animal-based protein consumption comes from farmed tilapia. Meanwhile, up to 30 percent of the fishery and seafood products they consume are locally farmed.
The Philippines is among the most vulnerable countries to extreme weather events and climate-related disasters. For almost a decade now, climate and environmental stress in the Philippines have been causing a significant annual decrease in tilapia production. Its key tilapia-producing provinces are regularly exposed to inclement weather systems and associated hazards like flooding or prolonged dry periods. Freshwater fish ponds in the Philippines generate 50 to 55 percent of the total tilapia aquaculture production. Yet, this type of farming is particularly at risk to climate-related threats and is generally prone to slower recovery because of repeated severe weather events.
Losing access to tilapia would make a huge impact on the nutrition and food security of the local population, in particular those with lower incomes, who consume 4.7 kg of tilapia annually per capita. To ensure that tilapia remains available, accessible and affordable for a growing population, FAO supported the Government of the Philippines in enhancing the climate-resilience of tilapia farmers, primarily those engaged in freshwater pond operations.
Tilapia plays an important role in food security and nutrition in the Philippines. At less than USD 2.50 per kilogram, it is a more affordable source of animal protein than pork, chicken and other fishery products. Tilapia is the most consumed farmed fish in the country and accounts for at least 12 percent of the animal protein intake of Filipinos across all socio-economic brackets. But over the last decade, the average rate of tilapia production has decreased by 0.7 percent annually.
Effects of climate and environmental stress are the main causes of this decrease. Extreme temperatures and heavy rains that cause sudden changes in important water parameters, such as water temperature, pH and oxygen levels, affect tilapia's growth, breeding success and can even lead to mass fish mortalities.
"While we cannot control the climate and weather, we can, however, increase farmers' adaptation to the negative effects of external events to ensure that pond-based tilapia farming remains profitable and subsequently, the supply of tilapia for our growing population is secured," explains Roy Ortega of the Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DA-BFAR).
Increasing climate-resilience in aquaculture
FAO, together with DA-BFAR, is working with tilapia farmers engaged in freshwater pond operations. Tilapia production in freshwater ponds is among the farming systems the most vulnerable to climate change.
The project demonstrated the efficient use of critical agricultural inputs, such as portable water quality testers, for the on-farm pilots. It also worked with the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) to install Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) and with Caraga State University to launch a web-based platform that would send SMS alerts to tilapia farmers. The AWS is a monitoring station equipped with different sensors that measure, in real time, weather parameters. These stations, which can be deployed even in remote areas, can provide early warning advisories for thunderstorms, heavy rains and extreme temperatures, which are relevant to aquaculture operations.
Through a project-sponsored training, tilapia farmers, producer groups and local government technicians practiced sending early warning messages on weather and climate events using the web-based platform.
Training and knowledge sharing
The training provided by the project helped DA-BFAR and the local government technicians in evaluating pond production systems and adaptive capacities. They also learned to properly utilize the AWS and to observe the weather in a specialized "community aqua-meteorology" training.
This has resulted in increased capacities of the government to monitor and predict local weather conditions in and around the pilot tests areas and to facilitate technical support for tilapia producers. The early-warning messages provide guidance to tilapia farmers in making optimal use of inputs and give advice on weather events, such as postponing feeding times because of an impending thunderstorm or ensuring the safety of farm workers and equipment in the event of a tropical cyclone.
A series of farmer-expert workshops were also implemented in order to merge scientific knowledge with the actual field experience of farmers. In brief, the workshop developed a knowledge sharing and documentation process that allowed farmers and experts to link key concepts in agro-meteorology (e.g. weather systems) to aquaculture management. This resulted in the development of nine knowledge products to guide practitioners and fish farmers on managing the impacts of weather systems. These exercises started out with tilapia production but have expanded to other commercially important aquaculture commodities.
During the 2015 to 2016 El Niño, the project also supported tilapia farmers with farming advisory services, presenting simple explanations of the El Niño phenomenon and its impacts on freshwater fish farming systems, including indicators, mitigation strategies and adaptation measures.
Moving forward
From the national to the farm level, government agencies and aquaculture producers are accelerating their adoption of the evidence-based, climate-resilient approaches introduced by the project. The increase in knowledge, access to information and communication technology and high-quality information has enabled these groups to integrate adaptation and mitigation strategies from planning into actual production.
"The most significant accomplishment under this project is the convergence of aquaculture, atmospheric and meteorological sciences. This is now supporting tilapia farmers in winning the race against climate change, while also contributing to poverty alleviation and food security. The learning, technology applications, policies and knowledge products generated from this cooperation have great potential to be extended to other aquaculture enterprises in the country as well as the Asia-Pacific region," said Miao Weimin, Aquaculture Officer of the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific.

Paleo pinwheels are a remake of the classic appetizer, which is perfect for just about any occasion.
Fancy enough for New Years or movie night! These two-bite rolls can be stuffed with whatever you like, from luncheon meat to tuna or egg salad (Always opt for high quality protein with no additives). This pinwheel appetizer will be a great hit at any party but they also make a delicious snack, or lunch option for kids to take to school.
We used our pizza crust (paleo, and nut free) and turned it into pinwheel roll-ups, adding cashew based cheese mimicking the gooey goodness of real cheese and an assortment of deli meat.
Be sure to make your "cheese" ahead of time so it has time to set in the fridge. We use this delicious and easy to make cashew "cheese" in jalapeño poppers, lasagna and on pizza. * Click on the link for our pizza crust recipe, or find it in Healthy Comforts Cookbook, page 100. http://www.healthycomforts.ca/pizza/ . The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup of water, however, to make the dough more pliable to roll, add 3/4 cup of water.
The Cashew "cheese" recipe can be found in Healthy Comforts (with a couple of different options). Make the pizza crust according to the recipe (**note – recipe calls for 1/2 cup of water, to make the dough more pliable to roll, add 3/4 cup of water)
Pinwheel Appetizer
- Allow the pizza to cool, slide off the tray and cut away the edges of the crust. We cut the pizza crust in half, horizontally so it's easier to roll.
- Lay your filling across the dough. Gently roll and secure with toothpicks.
- Cut into pinwheels and enjoy!

The enormous growth in the economy has brought many new businesses to the shores of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The insurance business in Dubai is one great example of the situation and since the conditions in Dubai have been very soothing for starting a new business, multinationals and business organizations prefer Dubai for starting a new business in the Middle Eastern Region.
The trend of insurance in Dubai is not very old, but as the economy has started to grow and foreign investors and workforce have started to visit Dubai on regular basis more and more people are getting interested in getting them selves, their love ones, and their valuable things insured by a Dubai insurance company.
This is why analyst has predicted positive growth in the rate at which the insurance companies in Dubai are evolving. Also the increase in business community from world over and rising number of multinationals in Dubai has given a boost to the insurance sector, as most of these organizations like to keep their employees insured.
As a result a Dubai insurance company today is getting more clients then ever before, bringing the insurance sector in Dubai among the most significant businesses that are contributing to the economy and attracting further investments.
Health insurance Dubai is among one of popular types of insurances in Dubai as not only the visitor and tourists coming to Dubai like to get a health insurance policy but also the locals are very much interested in getting a health insurance package.
This has forced the insurance companies in Dubai to come up with various new packages and plans to attract the target consumer base of insurance in Dubai and to make the most of this opportunity. These days health insurance Dubai has become almost necessary for everyone as you never know when you might require some medical attention in today's uncertain world.
And since people in Dubai are getting aware of the fact quickly the some active marketing campaign by the insurance companies and it is due to this fact that a lot more people are interested in getting themselves insured today compared to a few years back the trend of getting insured was pretty low.
Also home insurance and travel insurance in Dubai are among the most asked insurance policies as the tourism, and real estate sector is booming, and a lot more people are coming to Dubai for various reasons like shopping, holidays, work, business, sporting event etc. These are very encouraging signs for both home and travel insurance companies in Dubai as they are expected to get more business till the trend continues.
Most of the people who have bought a luxurious and comfortable house in Dubai want their property to be insured by having a home insurance as property in Dubai is quiet expansive. Similarly travel insurance in Dubai is equally important as it covers for any mishap during the time of travel like if you have missed a flight, or lost some luggage or even case of a medical emergency during your tour. All this has helped the insurance sector progress a great deal and its graph is on its way up till the trend continues.
Author Bio Andy Robert is a reputed Home insurance agent, and has been working in the local Dubai insurance company and Travel insurance in Dubai business for the last three years. He has worked as a consultant with a number of reputed financial institutions, and is currently residing in Abu Dhabi.

Level three graphic design students from Kingston College have designed Christmas cards for the African Vision Malawi charity.
Learners were challenged to come up with images reflecting 'The warm heart of Africa'.
Designs for five cards were selected by the charity that supports children and vulnerable people in Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world.
Graphic design tutor Alison Richards said: "They found the charity's work very inspiring and have developed ways to visualise themes such as Christianity, shelter, peace and unity, while reflecting the culture of Malawi through their use of fabric patterns and colour palettes."
Charity chair Heather Palmer said: "I was truly amazed at the professionalism of these young students."
Visit www.africanvision.org.uk/shop to to buy the cards.

How To Buy Perfect Assignment For A Grade With Tight Budget?
We are the best place from where you can get the assignment online.

In Malvern, Arkansas, probate is the process through which a Court determines if a will is valid or not.
In the probate process, a Malvern, Arkansas probate court has various duties, including ruling on a will's validity, making an inventory of the estate's assets, and making note of all the decedent's debts. Once the will is determined to be valid, the court will distribute the property according to its terms.

It is their job to defend the estate from debtors (if a legitimate defense for the debt exists, of course), and wind up any legal proceedings that the decedent might have been engaged in. If an executor needs to be appointed, a court typically chooses the person who will inherit the most if the will is given effect, since that person will have the most reason to carry out the duties of the executor.

Finally, executors have to actually put forth the effort to establish that a will is valid. As the sole legal representative of the estate, this is their job, and is required for them to inherit, giving them an incentive.

Tamim Alnuweiri・November 9, 2017
When you're spending the vast majority of your disposable income on spirulina smoothies, boutique fitness classes, and the latest activewear collaborations—the idea of a credit card catered to the wellness-minded would be a miracle akin to the creation of the spin bike itself.
It's not a reality—yet—but at least one credit card company is moving in the right direction. American Express is leveraging the indoor cycling giant SoulCycle as a wellness perk for its premium card holders, after noticing a 45 percent increase in how much money these card members were spending at SoulCycle.
So how are they doing that? With three gratis classes for every 20-pack of classes purchased by premium card holders, plus 10 first-class-free passes to give away to some lucky pals. Will other credit card companies follow suit and offer up wellness goodies—instead of industry standards like airplane miles—in the coming months? Please say yes, Visa, Mastercard, and Discover!
Adult finances aren't the easiest to figure out. Here's how to hit refresh on your finances and how your childhood could affect your spending habits.

The temple complex is Angkor Thom (Angkor Thom)
History of Angkor Thom, General information
Angkor Thom translated from Khmer means "big city." It deserves special attention and ranks second in popularity all over the temple complex of Angkorafter Angkor Wat (Angkor Wat), largely due to the Bayon temple – mountain-temple with carved faces.
Angkor Thom is part of the temple complex in Angkor, was built in the style of the Bayon and dedicated to Buddhism.
The city occupies a large area and consisted of more than hundreds of temples and buildings:
- Bayon (Bayon)
- Baphuon (Baphuon)
- The Phimeanakas (Phimeanakas)
- The Royal Palace (Royal Palace)
- The Elephant terrace (Terrace of the Elephants)
- Terrace of the Leper King (Terrace of Leper King)
- TEP Pranam (Pranam Tep)
- Preah Palilay (Preah Palilay)
- Preah Pete (Preah Pithu)
- Prasat Suor Prat (Prasats Suor Prat)
- North and South Cleage (North Kleang and South Kleang), etc. smaller
Built Angkor Thom was at the end of XII – early XIII centuries during the reign of Jayavarman VII (Jayavarman VII) from 1181 1220 and was the capital of the Khmer Empire until the XV century Earlier this area was the former capital city of Yasodharapura, however, after the attack, the Cham (Cham) in 1177, the city was very badly damaged. Therefore, it was decided to build a new capital, near the destroyed. Therefore, in the territory of Angkor Thom is not all temples built by Jayavarman VII: the Phimeanakas and the Baphuon is left of the former rulers. Jayavarman VII himself was a very revered ruler, he brought to life the subjects a new religion – Mahayana Buddhism, the symbol of worship of which was the Buddha.
The population of the capital was about a million people. The city territory was divided axial roads into four equal parts, each of which had its own purpose. For example, in the North-Western part of the Royal Palace was situated in the North-Eastern side lived the family of the king, his entourage, the priests, the South-Western part given over to a beautiful Park in the South-East was situated the markets and various administrative buildings. Outside the city walls lived the commoners. All the houses and some buildings were built of wood, so until our time they remained, the same fate befell the Royal Palace, it was only the stone base for the Terrace of the Elephants.
The symbolism of Angkor Thom based on the legend of pahtani (sportivnie) of the Ocean of milk, displayed on one of the murals of Angkor Wat (in the southern wing of the Eastern gallery). This legend tells about the creation of the world, which is attended by the gods and demons (sculpture they are located at the gate of Angkor Thom). They are holding the snake wrapped around the sacred mount Meru (with her identified the Bayon, located in the city center), symbolizing the center of the world, and alternately pull on itself, causing the mountain to move, thus foaming the Ocean, which subsequently secretes nectar of immortality (Amrita).
Structure (plan) of the area
The city of Angkor Thom covers an area of 900 hectares and has the shape of a square, divided into four equal parts axial roads. The center of the intersection is the Bayon. The territory of the city was surrounded by a loose wall with a total length of 12 km, a height of 8 m, on top of the wall ran a road patrol. Before the wall was dug trench width of 100 m and depth 6 m, zapolnyatsya water.
Entrance to Angkor Thom is accessed via private gates, just 5 of them: one from the North (North Gate), South (South Gate) and West (West Gate) and two from the East – the East (East Gate) and Victory Gate (the Victory Gate). Victory gate is focused on the Royal Palace. Gate height is 22-23 m, the width of the roadway underneath - 3.5 m, they are made in the style of the Bayon and have four towers, each tower are carved faces of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara (God of parole and compassionate), which was identified Jayavarman VII. In addition to gates on both sides decorated with sculpture, the three-headed elephant with their trunks in the form of columns.
Before the gates lined up in a row the gods (Devatas) to the left and the demons (Asuras) on the right, holding a multi-headed serpent (Naga), symbolizing the bridge between heaven and earth. Gods and demons equally on each side at 54, the gods hold the snake behind the head, and the demons tail. Dragging themselves, they thus result in movement of the sacred mountain (Bayonne).
The presence of Gates Victory has a specific meaning, namely, that the king's army went to battle it was through this gate, thus heralding a successful outcome of the fight. In case of victory the soldiers were coming back through them in case of defeat – through the other (possibly the other East). Through the Eastern gate passed the funeral procession.
Tips for inspection
Among the most important and best preserved ruins and buildings is to provide:
- Bayon (Bayon)
- Baphuon (Baphuon)
- The Phimeanakas (Phimeanakas)
- The Royal Palace (Royal Palace)
- The Elephant terrace (Terrace of the Elephants)
- Terrace of the Leper King (Terrace of Leper King)
- Prasat Suor Prat (Prasats Suor Prat)
- North and South Cleage (North Kleang and South Kleang)
Them then the first thing to look at, the rest is at your discretion and depending on available time.
Very often, group tours start sightseeing Angkor Tom via the South gate (South Gate), preserved better than others, and restored. Then, on motion, the Bayon, the Baphuon, the Terrace of Elephants, Royal Palace, Phimeanakas, Terrace of the Leper king, TEP Pranam, Palilay Preah, Preah Pete, the Prasat Suor Prat, and Kleang, South Kleang, next - exit to the East through the Victory Gate (the Victory Gate). Or in the opposite direction, if you enter through the Victory Gate and depart through the South gate. It should be noted that the most visited are considered to be gates: South, North and Victory Gate, is preserved sculptures of gods and demons, West and East have survived worse, and therefore, less demand.
Some guides offer you to visit Angkor Thom in several stages. But, in our opinion, the best option is to check it all at once, the time for the examination should allocate half a day.
At the entrance to the Bayon and Baphuon is the input control, in other temples it does not exist.
As the distance from the Angkor Thom from the adjacent temple buildings is pretty decent, as to walk up to it and it is either on the bike or on a motorbike.
The best time for photography is considered to be early morning or dusk, because at this time the temples better lit, and the light is more soft.

Among the Town of Apple Valley's many aims is to give back to its residents in ways that make a long and lasting impact on their lives. One manner in which it accomplishes that mission is through its Community Development Block Grant Program, which is made possible through funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The money is allocated to improve the quality of life for local residents, including providing decent, affordable housing, a suitable living environment and economic opportunities for those with low to moderate incomes.
This year, several local agencies will benefit from the block grants, including High Desert Homeless Services, Assistance League of Victor Valley, Church for Whosoever, Family Assistance Program, Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board, Lutheran Social Services, Moses House Ministries/Rose of Sharon, San Bernardino County Library, Victor Valley Community Services Council and A Better Way Shelter.
"The process to select these nonprofits is highly competitive," said Orlando Acevedo, assistant director of Economic Development and Housing. "Thanks to an evaluation by our Community Development Citizens Advisory Committee, and feedback at public hearings, the Town Council is able to designate funds that will help hundreds of Apple Valley residents improve their quality of life."
According to Jimmy Waldron, executive director of High Desert Homeless Shelter, the $12,500 his organization received from the town will go a long way in helping homeless individuals rebuild their lives.
"People don't want to be homeless and they want to get back on their feet," said Waldron, who knows first-hand what it's like to be homeless. "They are good people, good families, who may just be here due to a loss of income. They use our resource room to find jobs, a place to live, get training and more."
Former Apple Valley resident Nicole Cerda said she has benefitted greatly from the help she received from the shelter and is well on her way to becoming self-sufficient.
"It was a life-changing event," said Cerda, who was forced to turn to the shelter after finding herself without a roof over her head. "The staff is so friendly and the welcomed me with open arms. In the few short weeks I stayed there, I found two concurrent jobs and am on track for finding an apartment back in Apple Valley soon."
According to Apple Valley Mayor Scott Nassiff, most federal funds that the town receives are used for residential rehabilitation loans, street and park improvements and job attraction and creation programs.
But he said HUD allows municipalities to distribute a percentage toward grants for local social services, which the Town Council is highly committed to doing on an annual basis.
"The federal government allows us to use 15 percent of that funding for local programs and we make sure we use the full amount on projects and agencies that will benefit our residents," Nassif said.

We spent our first week in Indonesia as the guests of Sietse and Li Tho (brother and now sister-n-law) at Li Tho's uncle's estate. Unlike all of the other estates I've frequented (ahem), Villa Leduk and the surrounding bungalows and lodges that comprise Kaliandra, deliver finery and culture Indonesian style.
At the main villa, this translates to two hosts who are highly accomplished and successful in business, culture and etiquette, yet who treat you with kindness and listen attentively to your conversations without outward scrutiny, a highly trained chef who prepares fresh, local and mainly organic meals and snacks approximately five times a day, and a dozen house servants dressed in white button down tops and colorful pants who walk barefoot across the marble floors to deliver your beverages or serve you multiple courses in one of the many dining areas or grand outdoor terraces. This is coupled with a sense of relaxation derived from the temperate climate, the casual elegance of the owners, and the genuine friendliness and openness of the Indonesian people, who, most importantly for us, absolutely love children. We stayed in the forest bungalows, or the Hastinapura complex, a 10 minutes walk uphill and into the forest.
As you climb lava stone steps and cross hand woven foot bridges surrounded by lush vegetation, you hear birds and other forest creatures. Ezra's 19 month old status, enabled us to have a bungalow to ourselves!
Afternoon tea with sweet rice or banana desserts on banana leaves were brought to us every afternoon in our bungalow, and a young man would come to our bungalow every morning to inform us breakfast was ready on the upper pavilion restaurant. I haven't even begun to explain the decadence.
The life of luxury we maintained for a week as guests of Sietse and Li Tho at Villa Leduk (see 8/23/08 post for more photos) might have led us to feel inconsiderate and self serving in light of the extreme poverty just an hour's drive from this isolated paradise. But, we were able to avoid most of these feelings due to two things: The philanthropic endeavors of our hosts, Atmadja and Bagoes, and their prized non-profit, Kaliandra.
Kaliandra deserves an entry all its own, so I will just say that it marries two ideas that should co-exist in every society--environmental education and stewardship paired with cultural education and preservation. In other words, At and Bagoes ROCK! They give back to the community through this non-profit, provide many learning opportunities to local villagers, and a whole lot more. To learn about Kaliandra, visit the following link.
good night!
This is a blog over my personal musings about motherhood, moments of epiphany, subtleties that give me hope for humanity, as well as simple updates about my life. Mainly designed for me and my friends, but also interested in dialoguing with others who are interested in a healthier society and helping save the planet--although this doesn't always come out in my postings!
