All thanks to Mr. Gary McKinnon, a cryptocurrency recovery expert. He was able to recover the bitcoin I lost when I unintentionally transferred funds to an incorrect wallet. Just a few weeks after transmitting $101,000 worth of Bitcoins to the wrong wallet address. At first, I thought I had swiped away everything. But just as I was about to lose it, an associate of mine suggested Gary McKinnon, a hacking group that was able to locate and recover my cryptos.
I need a big metal trash can. Something that I can throw hot ashes in with no consequences, but still small enough to carry up and down two flights of stairs. Maybe a 50 gallon?

I ‘ve tried to pull $300 with my ATM card from Banco Guayaquil machines and got the message that the transaction cannot be done at this time but the money was deducted from my account.

What is a Limpia? Part of our Andean Medicine Culture, a “Limpia” translates to “Cleansing”. It is performed on the physical body but is meant to heal all levels of a patient’s health. It is said to cure the “mal de ojo”, and is often used when people feel salty (unlucky), stuck in a rut, unwell, etc. Since children and animals are susceptible to external energies, Limpias are performed on children regularly in our Andean Culture.

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a powerful antioxidant that is crucial to overall health.
High-dose Vitamin C is crucial to a healthy body and contributes to your immune defense by supporting and directly stimulating various cellular functions of the innate and adaptive immune systems.
Vitamin C is an essential antioxidant and is responsible for many functions in the body. While not all oral supplements are fully absorbed, IV Vitamin C delivery ensures that 100% of the vitamin is bioavailable. In addition, when given high doses, Vitamin C converts from an antioxidant to an oxidative therapy.

This fabulous mixed-use investment property on the Ecuadorian Coast near Puerta Lopez is a slice of paradise and the perfect property for an investor or entrepreneur looking for a space to live, work and even make money. Known as the “Quinta Oasis,” this tranquil, exclusive property sits on 4,200 square meters of land (about an acre) and consists of 3 fully furnished homes and one owner’s penthouse, a caretakers studio apartment in the main building, 3 mini-suites with private entrances and private bathrooms poolside, a one-bedroom studio apartment; and a large bodega, storage area or workshop building.

The Quinta is located high on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the Province of Manabí, known for its white-sand beaches, water sports, natural parks and seafood cuisine. The property is minutes away from the fishermen’s village of Puerto Lopez, the surfing communities of Ayampe and Montañita — Ecuador’s surfing capital — the archaeological site and healing waters of Agua Blanca, the whale watching expeditions of Puerto Lopez, and the Galapagos-like island of Isla de la Plata where you can see the famed blue-footed boobies.

The complex was built in 2015. In 2020 the studio apartment in the garden was added. In 2020 the penthouse apartment in the two-story building was completed. Also in 2021, a spa and sauna in the pool area were added, a bar was built in the outdoor kitchen area, and another grill was added.
The property has a 12-foot designed brick wall surrounding the perimeters with a handmade wooden gate, night-time lighting, and solar lights on walkways and in social areas.
Quinta Oasis is ideal as a family villa, a retreat center, a co-housing/working community, a work-life space for digital nomads, a retirement haven for a group of friends, an intentional community, a vacation rental development, a yoga facility or many more options limited only by the buyer’s imagination. Over the past 5 years, the owner has transformed the property from wild land to an inviting and tranquil retreat with all utilities (water, electric, fibre-optic Internet), its own transformer and security. Created as a space for the owners, who are psychologists, to host their clients, the Quinta has not yet reached its full income-producing potential.

This new construction, luxury riverfront project in El Centro, Cuenca, broke ground in January, 2023, and has already received much attention and interest, with more than one-half of the units pre-sold … some before the project was even formally announced. This high-end project is being developed by Cuenca’s premier downtown development company, ISAM.
Casa Todos Santos will have 35 condos, comprised of one, two and three-bedroom units, and will be located in one of Cuenca’s most historic areas, near the oldest church in the city — Iglesia Todos Santos. The project will also have two commercial facilities on the Calle Larga side, as well as underground parking.
The beautifully terraced, modern building will have an entrance next to the church on Calle Larga, a street filled with fine restaurants, high-end boutiques, cafes, artisan and craft shops, bakeries, a Mercado and museums. The structure will then cascade down a hill with a second entrance across from the beautiful Tomebamba River. Elevators will be found near both entrances.
The Rio Tomebamba has delightful walking and bike paths, scenic stone seating areas and several ancient ruins, and provides a natural boundary between the historic Old Town and the newer part of the city. Several bridges near Casa Todos Santos cross over the river making this the perfect location to enjoy both the new and the old parts of Cuenca
The high-end complex will honor and keep the ancient trees and a large, protected palm tree that currently exists on the property will also be saved. There will be two public green spaces designed to incorporate nature and light at every turn.
Thanks to innovative design and added light tunnels throughout, Casas Todos Santos, the building will be bright and airy and will feature, a variety of views including the river, the church, the famous Broken Bridge, and Turi — one of the highest points in Cuenca.
Floor plans are available and a meeting with one of ISAM’s architects, who has a computerized 3-D view of the entire complex and each unit, can be seen by making an appointment with Ecuador At Your Service. The 3-D presentation will give you a wonderful idea of not only the inside of the building and each apartment but also the spectacular views you can see from each unit. We can also do this 3-D presentation via video chat or Zoom.
The 2-bedroom condo featured here in the first three apartment renderings is listed at $284,600.
