Customs gets tougher on forced labor
Solar companies are anxious about whether tougher enforcement of a US prohibition against importing products that benefited from Chinese forced labor will mean more blocked solar panels and batteries.
Solar panels and batteries imported on or after June 21 are at greater risk of being blocked at the US border under a Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act that took effect on June 21. (For more details, see “Customs Seizures of Solar Panels” in the March 2022 NewsWire.)
Two US government reports in mid-June describe what importers will have to do in the future to prevent such equipment from being detained.
Importers will have to produce a lot of paper. This will require a change in equipment procurement contracts to put a larger burden on suppliers.
All goods manufactured wholly or partly in Xinjiang or that include inputs from Xinjiang will be presumed to have been made with forced labor and be blocked from entry into the United States. Solar panels are particularly at risk because of the large percentage of polysilicon originating in western China. Roughly 80% of the cells that power lithium-ion batteries are also made in China.
The presumption that any product using any inputs from Xinjiang benefited from forced labor is rebuttable.
US Customs must decide within five days after goods are presented for entry whether to block them.
Customs may issue one of three types of notices: a detention, exclusion or seizure notice.
Anyone receiving a detention notice generally has 30 days to try to rebut the presumption.
An exclusion or seizure notice requires a more formal process to overcome.
Importers will either have to prove their supply chains are free of any inputs from Xinjiang or other forced labor or, if there is any link to Xinjiang, prove no forced labor was involved. The latter may prove very difficult.
The two papers the US government released in mid-June are a June 13 US Customs paper called “Operational Guidance for Importers” about how to comply with the new statute, and a June 17 report to Congress by the Department of Homeland Security, where Customs is housed, that reports on the steps it is taking to enforce the new law and that includes a section called “Guidance for Importers.”
Anyone in a position of having to rebut the presumption will have to have done a lot of diligence.
The importer must produce a supply chain map. All of the suppliers along the supply chain must have written codes of conduct barring forced labor and “addressing the risk of use of Chinese government labor schemes.” The procurement staff must have had training on how to spot forced labor risks. It must monitor the suppliers for compliance with their codes of conduct. There must be an independent verification of “the implementation and effectiveness of the due diligence system.”
The importer may also have to produce a list of every worker at any Xinjiang company in the supply chain, the worker’s residency, the wages he or she is paid, proof that the factory output is consistent with the number of documented workers and proof that none of the workers was recruited with help from the Chinese government, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC) or any company on the UFLPA entity list.
Anyone trying to prove the presumption does not apply in the first place because there are no links to Xinjiang or other forced labor must have affidavits from each company involved in the production process.
If Customs allows any goods in with ties to Xinjiang because the importer was able to prove no forced labor, then it must alert Congress in a report identifying the goods and the evidence considered. The reports will be made public. Proprietary information may be withheld from release under the same standards that protect confidential information from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.
The government has a UFLPA entity list with names of Chinese companies that use forced labor. The list includes four companies involved in supplying polysilicon and silica-based products: Hoshine Silicon Industry, Xinjiang Daqo New Energy, Co. Ltd., Xinjiang East Hope Nonferrous Metals Co. Ltd. and Xinjiang GCL New Energy Material Technology, Co. Each of the companies operates under various aliases that are included on the entity list.
The New York Times suggested in a June 21 article that Xinjiang Nonferrous Metal Industry Group, which is involved in the supply chain behind batteries, uses some forced labor. The company is not on the entity list.

Coronavirus: China local government debt could hit record high as Beijing front-loads more bonds
- China announced this week it will bring forward another 1 trillion yuan in advance quota of local government special purpose bonds
- Beijing hopes infrastructure spending will curb the economic fallout from the coronavirus, but concern is mounting about local government debt
Local government borrowing in China is likely to hit record highs this year, as Beijing continues to shovel money into infrastructure projects to keep regional economies afloat.
The growth of local government debt slowed last month to 286.7 billion yuan (US$40.4 billion), down 26 per cent from 387.5 billion yuan in March.
The move could swell local government debt to a record high of nearly 3 trillion yuan for the first five months of the year, compared to 1.9 trillion yuan from a year earlier.
“The key benefit of using special purpose bonds is that it’s more transparent. You can see exactly how much new funding local governments are taking on and you can see how that would impact their direct debt,” said Jack Yuan, assistant vice-president at ratings agency Moody’s.
Special-purpose bonds were introduced by the central government in 2015 to fund infrastructure and public welfare projects. Interest on the debt security is to be paid for by income generated by a specific project, in contrast to general bonds that can be paid back out of fiscal revenue.
Before 2015, many regional governments borrowed through local government financing vehicles (LGFVs), which were created to provide off balance sheet borrowing that skirted restrictions on local government fundraising. The debt of LGFVs is often held by state-owned and most commercial banks.
But as borrowing spiralled and economic growth cooled, some projects funded by LGFVs have struggled to produce returns, leading to defaults on debt repayment.
“LGFVs tend to be less transparent, there are often many forms of hidden debt,” Yuan said. “This is one of the areas that financial regulators have been trying to remedy in the past few years.”
Beijing has attempted to keep a lid on its overall debt level in the past few years, but an economic slow down that has been exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic has once again pushed policymakers towards debt-fuelled growth.
Local governments have increased borrowing in the past few months and are close to using up the early allocation of 2020 bonds quota worth 1.8 trillion yuan, after it was brought forward by the Ministry of Finance.
Between January and April, local government special bond issuance hit 1.6 trillion yuan, based on the ministry’s data.
However, there are growing concerns over the outlook for local governments finances amid the heavy borrowing that is expected in coming months. Fiscal revenue has been in decline since the start of the year, plunging 14.3 per cent in the first quarter from a year earlier to 4.6 trillion yuan.
Nearly 40 Chinese LGFVs had trouble repaying debt obligations in 2019, a substantial increase from more than 10 in 2018, according to public reports cited in research by Fitch Ratings.
“More than 80 per cent of the LGFVs involved were from western provinces, whose economies are less developed than those of the coastal provinces. Guizhou province had the most LGFV credit incidents among all Chinese provinces, forming half of the total in 2018 and 2019,” according to a report from Fitch published on Tuesday.
Yuan, from Moody’s, said LGFVs still play an important role in infrastructure spending.
“The funds that local governments get through special purpose bonds, a portion of that will go to LGFVs through [their] involvement in infrastructure construction and urban renewal,” he said.
Yang Zhiyong, a researcher with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), a think tank affiliated with the State Council, said local governments must be prepared to cover any shortfall in projects funded by special bonds.
“Special debts should deliver corresponding benefits, and the returns can cover the costs of the projects. If the project income is not enough to cover the cost, then only when there are sufficient funds … should the special bond be issued,” he said on Tuesday in an interview with the Guangzhou-based newspaper Time Weekly.
“There is still room for expansion of local debt. However, considering the risks, more attention should be paid to the actual projects,” Yang said.
So far this year, special purpose bonds have been used to finance transport infrastructure, health care and education facilities and water conservation projects.
Borrowing via special purpose bonds was still risky if governments took on projects to support growth that were less economically viable, Yuan said.
“That’s always the difficulty with infrastructure spending in China. After a decade of very fast growth in infrastructure spending, in fixed asset investment in general, for a lot of local governments, there are not too many cash generating public projects left to invest,” he said.

The two half-slope collectors to reduce the risk of flooding in Albufeira are to “move ahead”, but the tunnel that will divert the stream from Baixa to the city will have to wait for co-financing opportunities.
The guarantee was given to the Sul Informação by José Carlos Rolo, Mayor of Albufeira, on the sidelines of a session to present the Flood Risk Management Plans (PGRI) for the Guadiana and Ribeiras do Algarve Hydrographic Regions, which took place this Monday, the 10th, in the City Hall.
In terms of Ribeiras do Algarve, the one that concerns Albufeira, two of the planned works are also part of the Albufeira Drainage Plan, created in 2016, following the destructive floods that occurred on November 1, 2015, in downtown Lisbon.
However, this municipal plan has begun to be implemented and has even borne fruit.
«The work to mitigate the floods near the Inatel has already been carried out, as well as the construction of the lifting station at Largo dos Pescadores. There are now two works missing which, in my opinion, are a priority», revealed the mayor of Albufeira.
The one “which is much more powerful, much stronger” is that of the tunnel, which, despite its importance, “can only advance with a strong contribution”.
“This is a work that we cannot do alone, without almost total or even total support” from national funds or the European Union, he said.
The most recent estimate points to a cost of 27 million euros, a figure that “will be merely indicative. Perhaps, with current prices, we are already talking about a cost of 30 or so or even 40 million».
“It will have to be with funding. Getting money from the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) will be very complicated, because I don't know if it would be possible to finish the work by 2026, as they advocate. I think we will have to wait for Portugal 2030”, said José Carlos Rolo.
As for the construction of the two mid-slope collectors, «one on the east side, the other on the west side», it is a «priority» work.
“We are trying to get a loan to ensure the part that will not be reimbursed by the environmental fund and by European funds or, possibly, the PRR”, said the mayor of Albufeira.
What is certain is that, in José Carlos Rolo's view, the work «is to go ahead now, especially because works in this area of Albufeira are always very complicated, because of the summer. We have to plan very well, so as not to harm the local economy”.

February 14, 2011
For Philadelphia Flyers GM Paul Holmgren, who traded two draft picks to the Toronto Maple Leafs for winger Kris Versteeg(notes) tonight, we imagine the thought process was simple: If you want to raise the Stanley Cup in Philadelphia this season, why not add a guy who raised the Stanley Cup in Philadelphia last season?
From the Flyers:
The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they have acquired 5-10, 182-pound right wing Kris Versteeg from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for a first-round and a third-round pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, according to general manager Paul Holmgren.
"Kris is an exciting young forward," Holmgren said. He's 24 years old and he'll fit in with our group of players here. He's a quality forward that can play in a lot of different roles for our hockey team. He can move up and down our lineup. He can kill penalties. He can play on the power play. We think he's a guy that over the last few years, particularly in Chicago, has really blossomed into a good forward and we think he's going to be a really good addition to our team."
"Right away I was extremely excited to join this team," Versteeg said. "They've had a lot of success this season. They had a great playoff push last year and I'm excited to try and have a good one this year. I like to make plays and score goals at the same time, maybe go out there and be an agitator at times too. I'm going to try and do it all and have fun doing it."
The Flyers had been rearranging their salary cap for some type of deal since the end of January. So why Versteeg, and what does this deal mean for the Leafs?
(Ed. Note: Comments from the Brian Burke press conference after the jump.)
Yet, one player who is likely on their radar for an upgrade is Toronto winger Kris Versteeg, whose cap hit is an affordable $3.083 million this year and next. The soon-to-be 25-year-old left wing is a perfect fit for the Flyers: a gritty, hard checker who plays above his 5-foot-10 size.
So instead of Cole, it's another left wing, and a good one: Versteeg's a perfect complementary forward for a team with the depth the Flyers have up front, and he has 26 points in 39 career playoff games with the Blackhawks.
Meanwhile, Brian Burke has turned Viktor Stalberg(notes), Chris DiDomenico(notes) and Phillippe Paradis into the Flyers' first and third round picks this summer. Mirtle sees the acquisition and then flipping of Versteeg as "another sign Toronto is beginning a longer rebuild than the Leafs GM first envisioned."
We're just happy to see first-round pucks coming to Toronto for a change.
• • •
UPDATE: Leafs GM Brian Burke held a conference call on Monday night to discuss the trade and other topics. A few highlights:
• Burke said the Leafs have been in the process of shopping Versteeg for at least a week, and using the Flyers' offer as the benchmark. They didn't receive anything comparable, didn't believe they'd get this package at the deadline and were concerned that the Flyers would go for another option. So the trigger was pulled.
• Burke talked about Versteeg fitting better with a "better" team; as in a team like the Blackhawks or Flyers that is in contention. After about five months, was it clear that Versteeg was just an ill fit for the Leafs on and off the ice? Well, they just traded a 24-year-old top six forward (after trading for him) with a manageable cap hit and a contract that runs through 2012 for two draft picks. You do the math.
• Burke is already shopping the Flyers' third-round pick, and the target appears to be a forward that would add salary to the Leafs' cap. Burke said the team is very much still eying the playoffs.
• Finally, when asked about Tomas Kaberle(notes) and his no-trade clause, Burke said his agent has asked for secrecy in the process. The agent and the player have kept this vow; Burke said the Leafs will do the same. So is there smoke here? Or is this just more of the same when it comes to Kaberle and the deadline?

The goal of the site is to ... "invite a group of disparate cartoonists and artist to come together in order to recreate every single character entry in the original Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe (Deluxe Edition) in their own inimitable style."
The Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe (Deluxe Edition) was a 20 issue series published from 1985-1988. The series featured a pin-up styled drawing, as well as detailed information, for each hero and villain of the Marvel Universe, from A to Z. This was before the internet, so getting vital information on your favorite characters was often a difficult, or impossible, task at the time.
I was a big fan of the Marvel series, so being a part of this Reduxe Edition was a treat. Of course, I only picked Jack Kirby characters to draw, so that made it even cooler.

The widespread usage of new telecommunication technologies implies the demand on payment via Internet since the ’90s. First, these solutions were applied only by pioneer users, while average men still chose traditional payment methods such as payment by cash, cheque, or bank transfer. In the latest decade, the notable improvement of mobile communications allowed the provision of customized services. A new payment method has appeared which is called mobilepayment. Consequently, increasing number of banks provide access to their services via mobile equipment. Reliable network security is an essential prerequisite for the expansion of the rapidly growing world of electronic payment. Public key infrastructure (PKI) offers the capabilities needed to provide this security. Establishing trust in a wireless public key infrastructure (WPKI) is crucial for the success of applications that will exploit the opportunities created by handheld wireless devices. This trust is based on the reliability of the technology but also on a carefully implemented system of laws, policies, standards, and procedures. The development of trusted electronic transactions is motivated by legislation. The EU adopted a legislative framework to guarantee the security and acceptance of electronic signatures in 1999. The U.S. adopted legislation for the recognition of electronic signatures in national and global trade in June 2000 (Sievers, 2000). This article deals with mobile payment and mobile banking services and focuses particularly on the mobile side of the system. First, we introduce the technological background necessary for developing m-services, and we define the m-payment reference model. After that, the differences between chip-card and software based implementations will be presented. Finally, we conclude the article and summarize the main terms used in the article.
The Mobile Payment Forum (MPF) (2002) defines mobile-payment (m-payment) as the process of two parties exchanging financial value using a mobile device in return for goods or services. The trusted transactions of a mobile payment system are called mobile payment transactions. The main areas of use are the following:
m-banking and m-payment, in case of performing banking and payment affairs;
m-administration, when accomplishing administration tasks; and
m-government, in case of arranging public administration affairs using the mobile electronic way.
The mobile device and the mobile network have two main roles in m-payment:
The user authentication means that a service provider determines the identity of a user (Kanniainen, 2001).
The digital signature is an electronic signature that can be used to authenticate the identity of the sender of a message or the signer of a document, and possibly to ensure that the original content of the message or document that has been sent is unchanged. Digital signatures can be used for many purposes, such as authorizing a subsequent transaction or creating a signature of the user with properties fulfilling the requirements of electronic signature laws.
The user authorization means that a service provider ensures that the user has viewed and accepted a transaction contract (Kanniainen, 2001).
The technological background exists for developing services based on trusted mobile transactions. The bandwidth of the mobile channel is only a small fraction of that of the Internet, but user authentication, digital signature transfer, authorization control require low bandwidth from the mobile network. Even low-end mobile devices support WAP functionalities (Wireless Application Protocol Forum [WAP Forum], 2001c) and text message sending. Their SIM card implements SIM Application Toolkit (SAT) and supports the necessary cryptographic algorithms at chip-card level. These are essentials to implement client-side banking applications (Van der Merwe, 2003).
Key Terms in this Chapter
Digital Signature: An electronic signature based upon cryptographic methods of origin authentication. Usually it is appended to a message to assure the recipient of the authenticity and integrity of the message.
SIM (Subscriber Identity Module): The subscriber dependent part of the mobile equipment.
Mobile Payment: The process of two parties exchanging financial value using a mobile device in return for goods or services.
SAT (SIM Application Toolkit): A standard operational environment for applications stored on the SIM (and the third generation USIM).
Authentication: Proof of identity.
RFID: Abbreviation of Radio Frequency Identification, a transponder technology for the contactless recognition of objects.
PKI: The abbreviation of Public Key Infrastructure, a set of policies, processes, server platforms, software, and workstations used to administer certificates and public-private key pairs, including the ability to issue, maintain, and revoke public key certificates.
Registration: A procedure where the account of the given services and the subscriber’s identity are coupled.
Mobile Transaction: Trusted transactions of a Mobile Payment system.
Smart-Phone: Voice centric mobile phone with information capability.

Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo has announced to end the search and rescue operation for the victims of a six-floor building collapse in Kep province, after over 43 hours of work.
The Premier made the announcement at a press conference on the outcomes of the search and rescue operation held at around this noon at the incident scene in Sangkat Kep of Kep city.
On the occasion, Samdech Techo Hun Sen made a clarification to some comments criticising that the operation took too much time. He laid stress on the operation's principles, explaining that the priorities are to save lives and to respect the corpses, therefore "we need to be careful when using heavy machinery."
According to the official figures, the death toll rose to 36 while the number of the injured was recorded at 23, he pointed out, underlining, "This is a tragedy for our country."
The Prime Minister expressed his pride of the active efforts of the search and rescue team and his gratitude to Their Majesties the King and the Queen-Mother for their attention and financial support for the victims. He also thanked competent authorities, private sector and other stakeholders as well as the charitable people for their contribution to the search and rescue operation.
Foreign diplomatic corps, including the Embassies of Australia, China, France and United States of America as well as the United Nations in Cambodia have extended their deepest sympathies and sincere condolences to the bereaved families and wished the injured fast recovery.
An under-construction building collapsed on Jan. 3 afternoon, at around 4:30. The search and rescue operation began immediately after the collapse under the direction of Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen.

As outraged Democrats jumped on social media after the fall of Roe v. Wade, some symbolic voices in the party offered careful words of celebration.
“Let’s Stand Together and Support Women and Children!!!”, tweeted state Sen. Katrina Jackson, the African-American Democrat who sponsored Louisiana’s trigger bill that includes potential 10-year prison sentences for those who perform abortions.
Jackson’s added calls for “womb to tomb” legislation raising wages for childcare workers, funds to fight human-trafficking and new state programs helping families.
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, also a Democrat, posted several Twitter messages, including: “My position on abortion has been unwavering. I am pro-life and have never hidden from that fact.” He stressed that this Louisiana bill included clauses protecting procedures in cases of “medical futility” and ectopic pregnancies and added that he believes it needed “an exception to the prohibition on abortion for victims of rape and incest.”
The Democratic Party, in its 2020 platform, remained committed to “protecting and advancing reproductive health, rights and justice,” while promising to “fight and overturn federal and state laws” limiting or opposing abortion rights.
But in the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, crucial debates about abortion laws will move to state governments. Some have already passed bills protecting unborn children and others have taken equally strong stands defending abortion rights.
Many states are located somewhere in between, noted Kristen Day, leader of Democrats for Life of America. In these states there will be tense negotiations over legislation — such as “heartbeat bills,” usually defined as abortion bans after six weeks of gestation — that were impossible under court actions linked to Roe v. Wade.
While “pro-life” Democrats are an endangered species inside the D.C. Beltway, there are “hundreds of us active in state governments,” said Day, reached by telephone. Many of these Democrats are linked to Black and Latino churches — grassroots workers that national party leaders may not want to attack or alienate.
More from this section
“This is where we can help bridge some divides by working with people who want to increase aid for women and families, while also doing everything possible to protect the unborn,” she said. “If there are problems in some of these state bills, then pro-life Democrats are the kinds of people who can get in the middle of things and help fix them.”
Frequently, these clashes will — like it or not — involve religion.
Truth is, it’s almost impossible to debate legalized abortion without mentioning centuries of beliefs in major faith groups, noted a recent study from Pew Research Center. This is true when discussing debates inside both political parties.
“Who are the Republicans who support legal abortion and the Democrats who oppose it, and how else do they differ from their fellow partisans?”, asked a recent Pew summary of research on this topic. “Republicans who favor legal abortion are far less religious than abortion opponents in the GOP, while Democrats who say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases are much MORE religious than Democrats who say it should be legal.”
In the supercharged atmosphere after the fall of Roe, with threats rising against some churches, it’s important for angry activists not to ignore the role religious believers have played in helping needy women and children, noted Michael Wear of Public Square Strategies. He served as faith-outreach director for Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign and then joined the president’s White House staff.
“I’m all for responsible, honest critiques of Christians, but I’m seeing folks on [Twitter] literally claim no Christians personally care for an ‘unwanted’ child,” he tweeted. “About half of the refugee resettlement agencies are Christian. Christians essentially invented the idea of a hospital. Look into what percentage of hospital beds are faith-based in your state. Check out who volunteers in this country. ... Why the need to tell a demonstrably false story about the church?”
When trying to build coalitions on these issues, he added, it’s “much more common for those of minority faiths to feel isolated and marginalized by an imposed secularism than an expressed, positive Christianity. … Hungry kids aren’t getting fed by your tweets. They’re getting fed by a Summer Food program that is largely administered by the government via partnerships with churches and faith-based institutions.”

WASHINGTON — German lunar lander company PTScientists, which filed for bankruptcy in July, announced it has been acquired by an unidentified aerospace company, allowing it to continue operations.
Berlin-based PTScientists and the law firm Görg, which handled the company’s bankruptcy administration, announced the acquisition in a German-language statement published Sept. 2. The announcement said neither the company buying PTScientists nor the purchase price would be disclosed, but that the deal was effective Sept. 1.
The acquisition, the announcement stated, allows PTScientists to retain its staff of about 60 people who had been working on lunar lander concepts, including a study for the European Space Agency of a mission to send a lander to the moon to perform experiments for in-situ resource utilization. ESA awarded that study to a team that included PTScientists as well as launch vehicle company ArianeGroup in January.
Sascha Feies, the Görg lawyer appointed as insolvency administrator when PTScientists filed for bankruptcy in July, said in the statement he was “very pleased” to find a buyer that allows PTScientists to continue operations, citing the company’s innovative work on lunar lander missions.
PTScientists, once known as Part-Time Scientists, was a competitor in the Google Lunar X Prize, which offered a $20 million grand prize for the first privately developed lunar lander. The company was not one of the five finalists selected by the X Prize Foundation in early 2017, but continued its effort to develop a lunar lander outside the competition, which expired a year later without a winner.
The company appeared to make making progress on a lander called Alina it planned to launch in 2020 or 2021, emphasizing support it received from major companies like Audi, Vodafone and Red Bull Media House, a subsidiary of beverage company Red Bull. However, the company filed for bankruptcy July 5, citing “unplanned delays had occurred in the acquisition of further investor and promotion funds.” The company didn’t state how much funding it had been seeking.
When PTScientists filed for bankruptcy, the company’s chief executive, Robert Boehme, sounded an optimistic note, expecting it to secure the financing it needed to continue operations. “But due to the clear progress and success we have achieved in the last months, we have the best prerequisites to emerge stronger from the insolvency proceedings and implement our lunar mission as planned,” he said in a statement then.


Wind energy is one of the most eco-friendly and sustainale energy sources, contributing to delivering on the Paris Climate Agreement. Especially, in Europe wind energy has a significant annual turnover, creating thousands of job opportunities. Many wind turbines have been installed in cold climates due to their favourable wind conditions and low population density. However, the electricity generated is negatively affected by the icing, which lowers the energy production of the wind turbine and reduces its lifetime.
Innovation: EARTO member VTT developed an innovative heating technology, WIPS (Wicetec Ice Prevention System), which is currently commercialised by VTT’s spin-off Wicetec. It has a unique worldwide-patented heating and ice detection technology, enabling wind turbines running in icing conditions and maximising its renewable energy production only when needed. The heaters, made of a thin layer of carbon fabric heating elements, protect from icing the area critical to energy production.
Impact Delivered: VTT sold the IPR to Wicetec in 2014, who productised and standardised the technology, and made further developments. WIPS innovation has already been commercialized to Wicetec’s customers located in different countries around the world. WIPS can recover 90% of icing losses and reduces the cost of energy by 6 – 8 %. During the first five operational years, Wicetec’s sales have increased, reaching a total of €2M in 2019.


The schedule for the Democratic National Convention is laid out a little differently than the RNC's, at least on the first day. Where the Republicans offered a series of speeches one after another, on Tuesday the Democrats will mix major speeches with panel discussions. Here's The Daily Beast's guide for what to watch on day one in Charlotte.
How They Would Govern Panel
From 3:15 p.m. to 4:15 p.m., former Senate majority leader Tom Daschle, former congressman and chairman of the National Endowment for Democracy Vin Weber, chairman and counselor of the Center for American Progress and Bill Clinton's former White House Chief of Staff John Podesta, New Yorker Washington correspondent Ryan Lizza, and Boston Globe columnist Scot Lehigh will gather to discuss how a second Obama administration could ensure that it follows through on its campaign promises. In an election that's heard a lot of promises, a discussion on exactly how the White House will operate going forward will be key.
Both parties are making a conscious effort to woo the powerful Latino demographic. The RNC's lineup featured several Hispanic politicians and elected officials, and the DNC Tuesday events include a forum hosted by Voto Latino, an organization founded by actress Rosario Dawson and Maria Teresa Kumar in 2004 to mobilize Latino voters. Dawson and Kumar will discuss immigration, education, and economics with Planned Parenthood President and Democratic activist Cecile Richards, President and CEO of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Javier Palomarez, teacher and National Education Association Vice President Lily Eskelsen, California Rep. Xavier Becerra, and Jose Antonio Vargas, the Filipino-American journalist who outed himself last year as an undocumented immigrant.
Religious Liberty Panel
This discussion, from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, will be hosted by Catholics for Choice and focus on "Keeping the Faith in the Democratic Party: Protecting Religious Liberty for Everyone." President Obama's relationship with the Catholic church recently soured in the wake of his move to require contraception coverage for all employer-provided health-care plans, including religiously affiliated employers. This panel discussion is an appeal to Catholic voters and organizations.
Party Platform Announcement
California Rep. Barbara Lee, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker, and retired Lt. Gen. Claudia Kennedy—the first female member of the U.S. Army to achieve the three-star general ranking—will present the Democratic party's platform for the election. Among other things, the platform is expected to include an endorsement for the legalization of same-sex marriage--a first for a major party. Booker, who has become a national figure in the past few years both for his politics and his local heroism, is the Democratic Party's platform-committee chairman and said last month, "It may repel some, it may attract others. This campaign is not going to turn on gay marriage."
Michelle Obama's Speech
The first night of the DNC will end with a speech from the first lady. Ann Romney's speech last week was explicitly geared towards humanizing her husband and received mixed reviews from both ends of the spectrum. It will be interesting to see how Michelle's speech will compare to Ann's and how the two women will subsequently be compared to one another.

Costa de Antigua
The Costa de Antigua, otherwise known as Nuevo Horizonte, is located on the eastern coast of
Fuerteventura, just outside Caleta de Fuste. The relatively new resort destination provides an attractive, peaceful destination for those seeking a
really relaxing holiday.
The town is situation just 10 minutes drive from Fuerteventura Airport.
The town itself is small, but provides the amenities and facilities necessary to enjoy a peaceful family holiday, with bars, restaurants, a bakers, and grocery stores all to hand.
A beautiful walk over the headland will bring you to the larger resort of Caleta de Fuste, if you are
looking for more extensive facilities. The walk is lit up during the evening if you want to head to the neighbouring town for dinner.
Costa de Antigua, as with the rest of Fuerteventura, boasts a beautiful stretch of white sand beach and crystal clear waters. It’s a paradise for sun worshippers and water sports enthusiasts.
Although a relatively small village, Costa del Antigua, is home to a Spanish restaurant, pizzeria,
American/Irish bar, Chinese restaurant, and entertainment and sports bars.
The climate of Fuerteventura, as with the rest of the Canary Islands, is generally pleasant all year round. The island can be prone to high winds; its name translated literally means Strong Fortune, or Strong Wind. During the summer months temperatures can reach up to 35 degrees, and in the winter rarely drop below 18 degrees.

Researchers at the University of California San Francisco conducted a study designed to understand why tobacco companies shifted from seeing nicotine replacement products (NRT) as a threat then eventually to a business opportunity.
What they claim to have found is that tobacco companies have known for decades that NRT products like nicotine gum, lozenges, sprays, and patches, hardly ever work when they aren’t used in combination with counseling. Knowing this, tobacco companies started to sell it.
The results of the study were published in the American Journal of Public Health on August 17, 2017. The research team reviewed previously secret internal documents dated between 1960 and 2010 from seven large tobacco companies. They found that these tobacco companies initially started developing alternative nicotine products as far back as the 1950’s but never followed through. But after pharmaceutical companies started selling prescription NRT products in the 90’s, public perception of nicotine has changed to be less negative. Tobacco companies initially saw NRT products as a threat, but soon realized that they didn’t work very well for cessation. Then in 2009, tobacco companies started to develop their own NRT products as a method of keeping consumers addicted to nicotine.
This study is reporting that the tobacco industry discovered this and found that smokers would end up using NRT products along with regular tobacco products. Big Tobacco eventually started to see NRT products as just another product to make money on, so they started manufacturing and selling it themselves.
Well known anti-vape activist Stanton Glantz, a UCSF professor involved in this study, says that this shows that nicotine needs to be regulated in all tobacco products, including NRT products like patches, gums, and electronic cigarettes.
What’s interesting about this study is that Stanton Glantz was a coauthor and everything Glantz does is biased. He performs studies that give him the outcomes that he seeks. In this case, he has created a study that tries to make NRT products look bad by relating them to the tobacco industry. And anything related to the tobacco industry is instantly seen as bad by the public, regulators, the media, and even us vapers.
I’m not arguing that what Big Tobacco has done here is not a bad thing. They saw an opportunity to keep people using nicotine to make more money. Believe me, I can see the conflict in this.
I’m just saying that Glantz knows exactly what he’s doing here and it’ll probably work. Many of us know that NRT products don’t work, which is why we vape. But that’s not the issue here. Glantz doesn’t care about harm reduction, he wants complete prohibition of nicotine.
That’s another thing I disagree with. I don’t believe nicotine is the enemy. It’s cigarettes. It’s becoming increasingly more known that nicotine is not dangerous. Sure it’s addictive, but we’ve seen from other studies that nicotine isn’t as addictive in smokeless tobacco products as it is in cigarettes. Research has shown that vaping, for example, has much less addictiveness than smoking. And while I can’t speak to NRT product like gum and patches, as far as vaping goes, studies have also shown that it’s not a gateway drug.
And when nicotine is not delivered via combustion, it’s not particularly dangerous. Smoking kills people, not nicotine. When used in electronic cigarettes, nicotine gum, lozenges, or other NRT products, the risk is very low.
Anyway, back to the study. Based on this study, what Glantz and his team are suggesting is that NRT products should be changed back to being available only via prescription and with the requirement that it’s used with counseling and then tapered down. This is to prevent what they are calling nicotine abuse. Dorie Apollonio, Ph.D., lead author of the study, was quoted as saying “Tobacco companies put out these products as a way to sidestep policies, by giving people a way to ‘smoke without smoking.'”
That’s extremely misleading. Nicotine delivery without smoking is nowhere near as dangerous as smoking, which to me sounds like is what she’s implying.
And while I agree that FDA-approved NRT products probably have a low success rate, by making it prescription only, it might result in a lower success rate overall with smokers quitting or switching to a less harmful product.
The way I see it, who cares if Big Tobacco saw nicotine replacement products as a business opportunity. There’s no denying that it’s a much safer product. People are going to use nicotine if they want. It might as well be in a minimally risky product. Rather than making it harder to get, maybe it would be better to include a statement on the packaging that shows success rates and letting the user determine the route they want to take.

Discovery of Novel Small Molecule Dual Inhibitors Targeting Toll-Like Receptors 7 and 8
datasetposted on 18.11.2019, 20:34 authored by Rosaura Padilla-Salinas, Rachel Anderson, Kentaro Sakaniwa, Shuting Zhang, Patrick Nordeen, Chuanjun Lu, Toshiyuki Shimizu, Hang Yin
Endosomal toll-like receptors (TLRs) 7 and 8 recognize viral single-stranded RNAs, a class of imidazoquinoline compounds, 8-oxo-adenosines, 8-aminobenzodiazepines, pyrimidines, and guanosine analogues. Substantial evidence is present linking chronic inflammation mediated specifically by TLR7 to the progression of autoimmunity. We identified a new TLR7/8 dual inhibitor (1) and a TLR8-specific inhibitor (2) based on our previous screen targeting TLR8. Compound 1, bearing a benzanilide scaffold, was found to inhibit TLR7 and TLR8 at low micromolar concentrations. We envisioned making modifications on the benzanilide scaffold of 1 resulting in a class of highly specific TLR7 inhibitors. Our efforts led to the discovery of a new TLR8 inhibitor (CU-115) and identification of a TLR7/8 dual inhibitor (CU-72), bearing a distinct diphenyl ether skeleton, with potential for TLR7 selectivity optimization. Given the role of TLR8 in autoimmunity, we also optimized the potency of 2 and developed a new TLR8 inhibitor bearing a 1,3,4-oxadiazole motif.

Government officials have confirmed that there are currently four investigations underway involving police officers in this province.
Earlier this week, VOCM News reported that there were at least two investigations underway. The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team is investigating a complaint stemming from a traffic stop involving RNC Constable Joe Smyth, then came confirmation that the Nova Scotia Serious Incident Response Team is investigating another member of the RNC for an alleged sexual assault dating back a number of years.
Today, the Department of Justice confirmed that a total of four investigations are underway. The Nova Scotia SiRT are investigating three cases, two involving the RNC, and one involving the RCMP.
Meanwhile, ASiRT is investigating one case involving a member of the RNC.
No further details are available on the other two cases at this time.
VOCM News is tracking the story and will have more information as it becomes available.

An Exeter man is awaiting the final results of a court hearing to decide whether he has to pay thousands of pounds to a doctor who killed his father with a fatal drugs overdose.
Rory Gray, 52, is facing a civil case in Germany after describing Nigerian doctor Daniel Ubani as an 'animal' at a medical conference.
Ubani was working his first locum shift in the UK when he administered 10 times the normal dose of diamorphine to Rory's father David in 2008.
He had flown into the UK the day before his 12-hour shift for GP service provider Take Care Now and had only had a few hours’ sleep.
Following the death of their father, Rory along with his brother Stuart, travelled to Germany to confront Dr Ubani at a cosmetic surgery conference he was speaking at.
During this meeting they called him a 'charlatan' and a 'killer' along with an 'animal'.
A ruling at the Amtsgericht civil court in 2014 proposed that Mr Gray should pay 75 per cent of the case's legal costs and asked him to write to Dr Ubani promising never to call him an animal again.
A final hearing was held in Bavaria on Friday but the court will not give its verdict until December 20.
"I can't understand the mentality of someone who, after what he's done, tries to get money from the family of a person he's killed," said Rory, a scientist at the Met Office.
"The fact that it is still going on is extremely distressing and the whole situation is appalling.
"Laws in the UK have changed since my fathers death but Dr Ubani is still able to practise in Germany.
"My lawyer is confident that we'll win and overturn the ruling but it is a nerve-wracking time."
David Gray, 70, had been suffering renal colic when he was treated by Nigerian-born Ubani at his home on February 16, 2008.
An inquest found that Mr Gray was unlawfully killed after Ubani fatally administered 10 times the normal dose of diamorphine. Ubani admitted he had confused the morphine with another drug.
The death prompted national concerns about the standard of locum doctors from abroad working in the UK and led to an overhaul of the system to protect patients.
Dr Ubani was struck-off in the UK but still runs a cosmetic surgery business in Germany despite being given a nine-month suspended prison sentence for death by negligence in 2008.
Attempts by British authorities to extradite him to the UK to face justice have also failed.
The two brothers confronted Dr Ubani in 2010 as they were shocked that he was speaking at a conference promoting his cosmetic surgery the day after he had failed to attend the General Medical Council hearing which stopped him from practising in Britain.

In honor of breast cancer awareness month, I thought it would be great to provide a little information on mammary tumors in dogs and cats! First, what is a mammary tumor? Dogs and cats have glandular tissue surrounding each teat that extends from the underside of the thorax to the abdomen. The cells in this mammary tissue can undergo mutations and become abnormal as a pet gets older. Most commonly this is due to stimulation by the hormone progesterone in an intact female. Spaying a dog or cat at an early age (between 4-6 months) reduces the risk that she will develop mammary cancer later in life.
It is important to note that mammary tumors in dogs and cats behave very differently. In dogs, if a mammary tumor is diagnosed, around 50% will be benign and around 50% will be malignant. Of those that are malignant, roughly half will spread to other parts of the body. On the other hand, out of the cats who develop mammary tumors, around 80% will be malignant.
These masses often go unnoticed by the pet parent due to their location and size, which is why most mammary masses are diagnosed at a veterinary visit during a physical exam. A sample of the mass can be taken using a needle and examined underneath the microscope. This is an inexpensive and convenient way to start ruling in or out potential causes of the mass.
If abnormal cells are seen, further testing can be done to confirm a diagnosis. If cancer is suspected, it is important to determine whether or not it has spread using additional diagnostics. These can include full bloodwork, thoracic radiographs, and sampling nearby lymph nodes. In animals where the cancer is localized to the mammary tissue, surgical removal is the preferred method of treatment with potential follow up with radiation or chemotherapy. If the cancer has spread, chemotherapy and radiation therapy are generally considered. If surgery is performed, a sample of the tissue, known as a biopsy, can be sent for complete analysis and identification. Pathology reports will provide more specific information about the tumor type, behavior, and the best treatment recommendations.
Overall, prognosis tends to be better for pets with masses less than 3 centimeters in size. If the cancer has already spread by the time of diagnosis, the survival time is further limited.

The number of Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations are on the rise again, but thanks to high vaccination rates and other tools to combat the virus, health experts aren’t as concerned about strains on the health care system.
“This is not going back to 2020,” said Dr. Allison Berry, health officer for Clallam and Jefferson counties. “I am not thinking we are going to overrun our hospitals.”
Speaking to the Board of Jefferson County Commissioners on Sept. 5, Berry said Covid-19 levels were rising locally and across the nation but that hospitalizations are still low, particularly among those who are up to date on their vaccines.
“We’ve seen 10 hospitalizations in the last month, all over the age of 70, and all but one were people who were not up to date in their vaccines,” Berry said of cases in Jefferson County.
According to the state Department of Health, the number of Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations has been slightly increasing since June when numbers were at their lowest for this year. For the week of June 5-11, there were 1,179 cases statewide or a rate of 15.4 cases per 100,000 people. For the week of Aug. 15-21, the latest dates state data is available, there were 2,874 cases or a rate of 37.5 cases per 100,000 people.
Nationwide, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported an 18.8 percent increase in hospitalizations from Covid-19 between July 21 and Aug. 19 and a 17.6 percent increase in deaths between July 8 and Aug. 26.
Cases in both Clallam and Jefferson counties have increased slightly in the past weeks, according to state data.
That’s a far cry from the state’s peak numbers in January 2022, when, in the week of Jan. 7-12, 2022, Washington saw 140,011 cases or a rate of 1,828.7 per 100,000 people.
But Berry said as the weather gets colder and people move indoors, the rate of respiratory diseases start to increase.
Part of what’s driving the increase is people are taking fewer precautions to protect themselves, Berry said, with less masking and social distancing and not staying up to date on vaccinations.
Schools on the North Olympic Peninsula resumed classes last week and this week, and Berry said that is likely to increase the rate of transmission of Covid-19.
An updated booster shot of the Covid-19 vaccine is expected to be available soon, Berry said, but supplies likely will be limited until mid-October.
Berry suggested those in good health hold off on getting the booster for at least a couple of weeks to allow for those at highest risk to get the updated vaccine.
The most recent vaccine booster will target the XBB.1.5 sub-variant of the Omicron variant of Covid-19, which Berry said is currently the most prevalent strain of the virus.
Those most at risk from Covid-19 are those 70 or older or those who have underlying medical conditions such as hypertension, cardiac disease or cancer.
Health officials also are seeing an increase in infections from Respiratory Syncytial Virus, or RSV, which can be particularly harmful for older adults and infants.
Fortunately, Berry said updated vaccines for both Covid-19 and RSV will be available soon, as will this year’s flu shot, and people can get all three at the same time.
“All of these are now approved; not all are available,” Berry said.
On Sept. 11, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on approval updated Covid-19 vaccine booster shots from Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech. The updated vaccines are each approved for people 12 and older and are authorized under emergency use for individuals 6 months through 11 years old.
Most insurance will cover the vaccines, Berry said, but not all. Currently, the RSV vaccine is covered by Medicare but only for Medicare Part D.
Drug maker GSK told a CDC panel that its RSV vaccine would be between $200 and $295, The Associated Press reported, and Pfizer has not disclosed a price.
Covid-19 boosters are free to the public and some pharmacies, including Walgreens and Rite Aid, offer in-store coupons as incentives.
Berry recommended staying up to date on the Covid-19 vaccine and said people should take extra precautions around those who may have health issues that put them at higher risk from the virus.
With the start of the school year, Berry noted that Covid-19 in children can look like a mild cold and said parents should test their children for Covid-19 if they’re showing symptoms.
Take-home tests are widely available and some schools are providing them for free to symptomatic children, Berry said.

Ray Shero was named the fourth general manager in the history of the New Jersey Devils on Monday.
Lou Lamoriello, who had served as Devils GM since April 1987, made the announcement. Lamoriello will remain New Jersey's president of hockey operations.
"I think we have to be realistic in life in different areas and be honest, and right now this is the perfect time and the perfect person with great experience [in Shero]," Lamoriello said on a conference call. "Ray has been in a couple of different organizations and had a year off, had a chance to step back and figure what went wrong and what went right and how things could be different."
Shero was GM of the Pittsburgh Penguins from 2006-14. The Penguins went to the Stanley Cup Final in consecutive seasons in 2007-08 and 2008-09, winning the Stanley Cup in 2009.
NEW JERSEY DEVILS COVERAGE
"I think we'll be the beneficiary of [this hire] as an organization," Lamoriello said. "The one thing that has been consistent in this organization and with every conversation I've had with Ray was the ability he has. He has no ego and knows the logo is the most important thing, and when you get that, that's a good feeling; a very positive thing happened today."
Lamoriello completed his 28th season as Devils president/GM in 2014-15. During his tenure, the Devils have won three Stanley Cup championships, five Eastern Conference titles and nine division titles with 21 Stanley Cup Playoff appearances.
"I've known [Lou] since playing against him in college when I was at St. Lawrence and he was coaching Providence," Shero said. "Before Lou was GM, my father [Hockey Hall of Fame coach Fred Shero] was a color analyst when the team started and Max McNab was GM, and I hung around there quite a bit when I was in college. So the opportunity for me to work with a Lou Lamoriello, who is a Hockey Hall of Fame member and one of the most respected GMs in the history of the game, certainly was a great opportunity I was not going to turn down, and I'm looking forward to working with the team. It's a great opportunity for me and my family."
Shero has been active with USA Hockey and is a member of its National Team Advisory Board. He has enjoyed having an opportunity to spend more time with his family; one of his sons will be a freshman at Boston College, and he has another attending Kimball Union Academy in New Hampshire.
Shero was fired as GM of the Penguins on May 16, 2014; Pittsburgh was 373-193-56 in his eight seasons with the organization.
"Ray is well respected throughout the hockey industry and knows what it takes to win," Lamoriello said. "His 22 seasons of NHL front-office experience will be beneficial to the New Jersey Devils organization. I look forward to working alongside Ray."
Lamoriello said the rest of the Devils' managerial staff will remain intact, including the scouting staff. Shero will immediately begin the search for a coach. Lamoriello served as co-coach alongside Scott Stevens and Adam Oates for the final 46 games of the regular season (20-19-7) after the firing of Peter DeBoer on Dec. 26.
Lamoriello said that although he and Shero will consult with owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer on all major decisions, Shero will ultimately choose New Jersey's coach. Shero said there is no timetable for when that decision will be made.
"When you take a look around the League, three quarters of the coaches have had second opportunities and have won a Stanley Cup, so in working with Lou, he knows the challenges of this position," Shero said. "Pittsburgh was different when I took over after coming from Ottawa [as an assistant GM from 1993-98] and Nashville Predators [1998-2006]. I was working with tremendous people in those organizations."
The Devils missed the playoffs their first five seasons in New Jersey prior to Lamoriello becoming GM. He built a perennial contender that won the Stanley Cup in 1995, 2000 and 2003 and made it to the Cup Final five times from 1995 to 2012. But the Devils have failed to qualify for the postseason in each of the past three seasons.
"New Jersey has a foundation that for years has been built upon defensive hockey and goaltending; they have an underrated [defenseman] Andy Greene," Shero said. "Looking at the team from the outside, since I just got here, up front is an area we'll look at. We would want to score more goals and create more offense without abandoning a defensive structure and accountability that has been in place for years. ... We want to build the team back to a playoff team and once we get there, stay there, and compete for a Stanley Cup again."
Lamoriello refused to look back on his career when asked about his tenure as Devils GM.
"I'm here; I'm not going anywhere," Lamoriello said. "The focus is on getting back to where we should be and belong and what's expected. We've had the support of ownership for the past couple of years, and they haven't been good years. We're going to work to get back there, so that's what it's about.
"The emotion is what hasn't been done and what can and should be done. I take responsibility for that. We have a great staff here, and [Shero] knows that, but now is a chance to move forward."

Zak says “Birdmen has been a labour of love for me over the years as I travelled the country meeting some amazing individuals who are part of the pigeon fraternity. My investment far outweighs anything I will get back from this project. All I want is for this book to be out there in the public domain to educate people on this unique sport which is an important part of British culture.
“I have approximately two weeks to raise over 100 pledges to ensure the book is published and I need your help. For a £25 pledge you will receive a beautiful coffee table signed limited edition book which will no doubt double in value once it is published.
“If you can think of anyone who can help in anyway to promote or pledge some support to the book I would be extremely grateful.”

Question about Intex Krystal Clear Model 635 Pool Filter Pump 1500 Gph
I had the same problem today. I unplugged the machine and then unscrewed the four screws on theplastic plate where the hose attaches to the motor housing. Under the plate I found a little fan
type thing that I manually cranked around a couple of times. I put everything back together, primed the hoses and turned it on and it worked. It seems that little fan must stick. Don't know if it
will continue running, but its working now as I type this. I'm no pool pump tech, but it worked.

Diego Diaz brings a cosmopolitan flare to Pacuare Lodge. Although he’s only been with us for a few months, his impact is felt in the kitchen, bar, and beyond. Diego, our Food and Beverage Manager, has been working in hospitality since he was 19. His career has afforded him the opportunity not only to travel around Costa Rica, but to live and work in Brazil and the United States, too.
From Costa Rica to Brazil to North Carolina to Pacuare Lodge
Diego speaks fluent English and Portuguese in addition to his native Spanish. So was it difficult for someone who has seen the world and lived in other cultures to come live and work in a remote part of Costa Rica? Not at all. Diego is an adventurous soul who is always seeking out new experiences. “I like to think that I’m adaptable to any situation. I embrace change and learning new things. In fact, I feel my time here at the lodge is very special, like they’re paying me to do something that I myself would pay to do. I love it here.”
A Truly Special Culinary Experience
Diego’s passion is evident in Pacuare Lodge. He focuses on hyper-local, fresh, organic ingredients. Then he combines traditional Costa Rican dishes with international styles and flavors.
Craft Cocktail Creator
Diego is also a master mixologist. His tropically inspired concoctions are the perfect beverage to have in hand as the sun goes down and the forest comes alive with the songs of the jungle. Be sure to try his signature cocktail, “La Caminata” (the hike), which bursts with flavor and reminds the palate that you are indeed in the middle of the rainforest – and it’s spectacular.
Turrialba Is Home
In his freetime, Diego enjoys running, swimming, and dancing to Latin music. He’ll need the exercise, because he also loves chicharrones, those meaty, fried pork rinds that are synonymous with parties and celebrations in Costa Rica.
Diego is originally from Turrialba, which is the closest town of consequence to Pacuare Lodge. Turrialba is known as a river rafting town, with the Pacuare and Reventazón rivers coursing through its boundaries. We are fortunate that Diego wanted to come home and continue his adventure with us in the heart of Costa Rica’s rainforest.
A Luxury Ecolodge in Costa Rica
Pacuare Lodge is a luxury ecolodge situated on the banks of the Pacuare River in Costa Rica. We carefully combine high-end accommodations and cuisine with unmatched service. At the same time, we strive daily to remain in harmony with nature and the surrounding communities. Learn more about our social and environmental programs here.
