JEP deposits

I always thought and heard here that the CDs at JEP carry over the interest rate through (automatic) renewals, meaning after a few years I would still have the interest rate CD was set up with.

But when my CD was automatically renewed in May it got stripped down to the actual interest rate. Can you guys confirm this or is it just me?

Alpha lipoic + vitamin C + glutathione IV therapy

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound which works to alleviate pain, protect the brain, decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease, help with weight loss, improve Diabetes, fight cancer, and assist in the treatment of several other health conditions.

ALA has exceptional therapeutic capabilities due to its unique molecular structure, which allows it to act as both fat-soluble and water-soluble antioxidants.

Another interesting quality of ALA supplementation is its ability to rapidly regenerate supplies of vitamin C and glutathione in the body.

High-dose intravenous supplementation of ALA has been shown to prevent healthy cell damage and, at the same time, induce cell death in cancerous cells.

“I Ham What I Ham!” Felix Wisdom!

Happy Holidays from King Smokehouse. It’s ham time for Felix, Cuenca’s undisputed SmokeMaster. For your Holiday dinner the Star of his smoker – Ham. A tender, succulent, boneless ham lovingly smoked to perfection. These beauties are then finished with the King Smokehouse top secret glaze. Oh my! Oh my! Oh my! This is the consummate centerpiece to your Holiday table. Each ham is delivered (or ready for pickup) ready to enjoy! Yes! Ready to eat (these are so good it is hard not to carve right in for a taste, or two, or more). Easy to gently warm for a hot main course.

Nothing could be finer than a Ham from. . . . . . . King Smokehouse. A boneless mini-Ham is perfect to serve 4 people (and maybe that great hammy samwich the next day).

But there is more. With each Ham you will receive another treat! Your choice of a Mountain Home Gourmet Biscuit or Cornbread Mix!!! What a Holiday gift from King Smokehouse.

It involves several people whose native language is English and several people whose native language is Spanish. We get together so that the former can practice Spanish and the later can practice English.

Apart from the language learning, the sessions bring an excellent opportunity to meet and interact with local people while engaging in the city´s cultural activities.

Therefore, this language exchange complements formal language learning. It mainly serves for putting oral language skills into practice. Additionally, it provides a good opportunity to experience and gain an insight into aspects of Ecuadorian culture and Cuenca local life.
