After N.H. computer recycling and refurbishing company closes, Maine group steps up
nikholas January 15, 2022 3 min read
A Maine non-profit will take over a long-running Manchester-based program that recycles electronics and turns some into low-cost computers to help the underserved, and has hopes to expand the program here.
"Philanthropic urban mining, that's the best way I can describe it," said Chris Martin, co-founder with partner Jodi Martin of GiveIT GetIT, a firm based in Waterville, Maine.
For more than a decade it has accepted old equipment from companies, refurbished what it can, given computers and systems to lower-income families, along with technology training and support, and resold the rest to pay for staff, buildings and transportation. What cannot be refurbished it recycles or disposes.
In New Hampshire, a similar non-profit operation was run for years by CTAC, or Computer Technology Assistance Corp., in Manchester, including a storefront operation that sold refurbished computers. But last April its founder and leader, Steve Bothwick, died, and the board of directors decided to wind up CTAC.
"We would get truckloads of donations. One of the biggest donors was Southern NH University," said Suzanne Daschbach, board member. "We wanted to expand, but didn't really have the means to do it."
"We're delighted that Give IT Get IT has done this," she said.
Martin said companies donate items, often when they're upgrading and need to get rid of old equipment, because it avoids the cost or effort of disposal. There may also be tax benefits.
Give IT Get IT will send a truck and take anything that's offered: printers, network equipment, desktop systems, laptops, cables, even printing cartridges.
"We want people to give us everything. There's no way to tell you out of the 20,000 to 40,000 items we go through every day, what can we best use," he said. "We currently pick up and process about 800,000 pounds of surplus unwanted corporate tech each year and divert about 150,000 pounds of that 'waste' to beneficial reuse."
"We really get some weird stuff like crazy calibration equipment. But it's all good; we can sell it on eBay, helps us 100% sponsor individuals with no money," Jodi Martin said.
Volume is important for the company, which Chris Martin describes as a "million-dollar business," to cover fixed costs such as the $1,000-a-month electric bill in the warehouse. That's part of the reason they decided to take over CTAC's business, as a way to expand further into New Hampshire. Give IT Get IT already operates on part of the Seacoast.
It will not keep CTAC's Manchester storefront open but for the time being will operate only out of Waterville.
Give IT Get IT has R2 and eSteward certification for recycling and data destruction. The latter is important when accepting corporate material, Miller said.
"You'd be shocked at what we find for data in equipment that's already supposedly been security screened. We kill all of that data in-house, don't use a third party," he said.
Although this approach has environmental benefits, keeping useful electronics out of landfills, the driving force behind the creation of CTAC was to bring technology's benefits to the underserved, Daschbach said.
She and Bothwick had worked to develop employment programs for people with developmental disabilities, which led to a realization of the pain that lack of technology can cause.
"He was an I.T. guy. He saw there was an incredible need for people to have technology at a price they could afford in their homes – lower-income members of the community, or families with children with disabilities," she said.
Give IT Get IT's incentive is similar.
"You need internet, affordable devices, and education and support. All of these things together make digital inclusion possible. Without any one of them, it doesn't work," Jodi Martin said.

Micro-loans and Macro-expectations
Via NextBillion ally Reuben Abraham, I was pointed to James Surowiecki's recent article, What Microloans Miss in The New Yorker.
Surowiecki points out that while microfinance does a tremendous amount of good, there are also real limits to what it can accomplish. With over $25 billions of loans and websites to lend to the poor, microloans are increasingly being viewed as a panacea for all issues of poverty.
The idealized view of microfinance is that budding entrepreneurs use the loans to start and grow businesses?expanding operations, boosting inventory, and so on. The reality is more complicated. Microloans are often used to ?smooth consumption??tiding a borrower over in times of crisis. They?re also, as Karol Boudreaux and Tyler Cowen point out in a recent paper, often used for non-business expenses, such as a child's education. It's less common to find them used to fund major business expansions or to hire new employees. In part, this is because the loans can be very small?frequently as little as fifty or a hundred dollars?and generally come with very high interest rates, often above thirty or forty per cent. But it's also because most microbusinesses aren?t looking to take on more workers. The vast majority have only one paid employee: the owner.
He argues that developing countries do not need more funds towards micro lending, but as capital for small and medium enterprises that generate employment.
I agree with James Surowiecki that not everybody is cut out to be an entrepreneur. Indeed, economies function and thrive because different people play different roles.
Perhaps, the distinction to be drawn here is between access to capital and poverty alleviation. The decision to be an entrepreneur is often a function of one's choices — and access to capital is a key element in that decision. Additionally, when parents use microfinance to invest in their children's education, traditional and short-term metrics of poverty alleviation can be misleading.
According to a study by SIDBI (Small Industries Development Bank of India), loans from MFIs/group funds are used mostly for productive purposes (as high as 80% in the Grameen and Individual model and 60% for SHG members). With over 90% MFIs serving less than 10,000 clients, it appears likely that larger microfinance institutions will lend for productive purposes – and smaller SHGs will be relatively flexible about the use of capital. When I wrote to SKS, they insisted that the MFI only lends for income generation and by the loan utilization check verifies it too.
As Acumen Fund's Jacqueline Novogratz writes:
Acumen Fund's investments typically range from $300,000 to $2 million, or the ?missing middle? as Surowiecki calls it. These investments have helped create more than 20,000 jobs while also bringing tens of millions of people products they've never before been able to access. A to Z Textile Mills in Tanzania, for instance, now employs 5,000 individuals, mostly uneducated women, and produces eight million bednets per year, providing protection against malaria to more than 16 million Africans. Change is possible through a combination of smart, patient capital as well as supporting enterprises with talent and knowledge of what works elsewhere.
It is heartening to see interest in SMEs – and it might take sustained availability of capital (and realistic expectations) before the poor can benefit from the choice of successful markets.

NEW YORK — The hulking machines of "Transformers" are no longer box-office behemoths in North America. But they're still big in China.
Michael Bay's "Transformers: The Last Knight," the fifth installment in the Hasbro series, scored a franchise-low domestic debut with an estimated $43.5 million in ticket sales over the weekend and a five-day total of $69.1 million since opening Wednesday. All previous "Transformers" sequels opened with $97 million-plus.
But Paramount Pictures' "The Last Knight," the second "Transformers" movie to star Mark Wahlberg, still showed its might overseas. It took in $196.2 million internationally, including an impressive $123.4 million in China.
Future business will tell whether those grosses are enough to cover a hugely expensive movie: $217 million to make, plus nearly as much to market. Studios reap a smaller percentage of ticket sales from Chinese theaters. And reviews — though never much of a factor in "Transformers" land — were worse for "The Last Knight" than the earlier films. Audiences gave this one a B-plus CinemaScore.
Yet "Transformers" has been increasingly skewing international. The previous film, 2014's "Age of Extinction," made $858.6 million of its $1.1 billion global haul abroad.
More movies: "Wonder Woman" and "Cars 3" tied for second place, both with $25.2 million. Nearly a month after opening, Patty Jenkins' "Wonder Woman" continues to be a major draw. In four weeks, it has surpassed $300 million domestically. And at $652.9 million globally, it's the highest grossing film directed by a woman, not accounting for inflation.
In limited release Kumail Nanjiani's acclaimed romantic comedy "The Big Sick" landed the best per-screen average of the year. It opened in five theaters, grossing an average of $87,000 from each. Amazon plunked down $12 million for the Judd Apatow-produced Sundance Film Festival hit. Lionsgate is handling the theatrical release.
Sofia Coppola's "The Beguiled" wasn't far behind. In four theaters, it earned a per-screen average of $60,136. The Focus Features release, starring Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst and Colin Farrell, is a remake of Don Siegel's 1972 Civil War-era gothic thriller about a wounded Union soldier taken in by a Southern all-girls school. At the Cannes Film Festival last month, Coppola won best director, becoming only the second woman to do so.
Both "The Big Sick" and "The Beguiled" expand nationwide in the coming weeks.


"The Sportsmen and Animal Owners' Voting Alliance (SAOVA) is a nationwide, nonpartisan group of volunteers seeking to elect politicians who will oppose the "Animal Rightist" (AR) threat to our rights as Americans. It is the only national group working to protect both sportsmen and animal owners, natural allies, in the legislative and political arenas. SAOVA's members hunt, fish and own livestock, dogs, cats and other pets. We study political candidates in all states to identify those who understand and resist the AR threat, as well as those who are in the pocket of the Animal Rightists."

For over 50 years, Trent has been known for its commitment to environmental leadership, and now the world is also taking notice, as the University has been named among the top 100 environmental university campuses worldwide, and in the top 10 in Canada, in the recently released 2018 UI GreenMetric World University Rankings.
Ranking as the 80th greenest campus in the world, and sixth in Canada, up from Trent's seventh place ranking last year, Trent was recognized for leadership in six categories, including: setting and infrastructure, energy and climate change, waste, water, transportation, and education and research. Trent ranked first in Canada for setting and infrastructure, and the education and research categories, and third in Canada in the waste section of the rankings. Trent also scored 18% more points in 2018 compared to the 2017 ranking showing Trent's continued work to improve green standards on campus.
The GreenMetric rankings, which ranked 719 universities in 81 countries worldwide, is the first and only university rankings in the world that measure each participating university's commitment in developing an 'environmentally friendly' infrastructure.
Trent University has been a leader in environmental teaching and research since its inception in 1964. As home to the Trent School of the Environment, Trent is the university of choice for future environmental leaders. Trent's submission to the UI GreenMetric showcased how the university incorporates green technologies into campus buildings, the many programs in place around campus to reduce the use of paper and plastic, including a very successful reusable take-out tray program, and the extensive academic courses offered across a variety of disciplines and programs related to the environment and sustainability.

Hudson supports the ability to email the person responsible for breaking the build. However, there must be an email address associated with the committer in question—figure out how to do this.
To email the committer who broke the build, I believe that person must have a Hudson account. In any case, we have this working for the ImageJ and LOCI builds. At some point we should configure it for ImgLib as well.

Q: install .rpm or .msi file through python script I'm a newbie to python. I have a python script to download a rpm file from S3 bucket.
import platform
import boto3
import botocore

BUCKET_NAME = 'tempdownload'
KEY = 'temp.rpm' # packaged using golang

platformName = platform.system()
s3 = boto3.resource('s3')

print(platformName)

if platformName == 'Linux':
    try:
        bucket = s3.Bucket(BUCKET_NAME)
        bucket.download_file(KEY, 'temp.rpm')
    except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as e:
        if e.response['Error']['Code'] == "404":
            print("The object does not exist.")
        else:
            raise
else:
    print("not valid operating system")

I want to add a script in the same file to install the downloaded rpm file or msi package for windows. I tried searching online but didn't get any information. Would appreciate if anyone provide some pointers.
Thanks!

A: You can install it directly from Python using rpm bindings. See: https://docs-old.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/RPM_Guide/ch16s06.html
But rather, you should not call rpm directly, but rather call Yum or DNF or its python bindings.

A: You have to call system command - rpm -Ivh yourpackage.rpm
import subprocess
package_path = '/home/mypackage.rpm'
command = ['rpm', '-Ivh', package_path]
p = subprocess.Popen(command)
p.wait()
if p.returncode == 0:
    print("OK")
else:
    print("Something went wrong")

―Marriage!
25 years old, being Dong Bang Shin Ki. I want to own as many things in life and there are a lot I want to achieve. But above all, I want to be an adult.
―Junsu being an adult, right now I can't imagine it at all (laughs).
Okay! Three years later, I will surely turn into a real man!

Eventhough it's difficult. I will try!
―So Junsu really wants to grow up so fast, huh?
There is some part of me that want it to, while the other is not really.
Ah, yes, but I also want it to be. I think, men in their 30s is just like in a game.
How faithful are you next in your 30, depends on how you take care your 20s first.
Your 20s is like a preparation period for you to overcome your 30s. You want to play a lot, but there's limit.
So, facing a lot of challenges with efforts right now, it's like a price for finally enjoying what you'll get in your 30s.
In the 20s, towards your 30s, you're in a position where you can achieve any goal, and when you can also change dramatically.
―Now it's the first time Junsu looks so mature (laughs). I thought Junsu who just said such things like that wasn't the same person.
Eu kyang kyang! (laughs)
―Huh? now you're knocked back? Now it's coming to the age of 30, how's your state to act? *
I mean, it's somewhat painful but I'm fine.
―Changmin's act is just difficult to resist it? *
Yes, do not care.
―So, that means, it might not be a bother.
Eu kyang kyang (laughs). Anyway, I will try anything!
Yunho's Personal Interview
―Yunho when he is 25 years old, what does he want to be?
That's only two years in the future. By that time, aside from Dong Bang Shin Ki, I'm going to travel to many countries
―To where, for instance?
Greece, Las Vegas, Bora Bora, Maldives…….. I really like those countries, hence I want to visit them.
I have not yet seen Greece but from pictures, I think it is very interesting.
―That's the country of history. Let say you have some time, then how long will you need to take the trip?
I need more than 1 month.
―As a Dong Bang Shin Ki, how can you believe that you will have such a long vacation?
Somehow I have to. I'll try to, staffs, please let me to (laughs).
―So it will be a private travel, not for work?
Of course. Even it's fun to go with friends, but if possible I want to go alone.
―Travelling alone, that must be something special.
I don't want to go as Dong Bang Shin Ki's U-Know Yunho. I want to travel as an ordinary human, as an ordinary man.
―So being a simple tourist or just simply relax, it's a trip where you can reveal yourself and not necessarily hide your face.
Yes. Some people takes this idea wrongly, they think that I'm just too full of myself.
However, despites my busy life, I want to regain the feeling of what actually I want to do, I want to confirm that to myself once more.
―It's so important if you keep running (for your dream), but there are times when you just want to stop for a while.
No matter how tough you are, sometimes you can become so weary.
―Your power won't be released if you're not charging yourself properly
In fact, I still think that now is the time for me to keep running in full speed. However, whenever I lost my energy, I'll do this travel thing.
Power could properly be charged at that time, and it will influences myself in the future as well, I think.

Posted in Translations with tags YooMin on March 10, 2009 by kenkyu
After the photo shoots, we have this interview of Changmin and Yoochun. Now that they're already well-known, it's a talk about their future goal
[I – Interviewer]
I: "The Secret Code"… that's really a meaningful title.
YC: In our previous album, there were many songs recorded to appeal you, but this album is more like "Listen to it for knowing more about Tohoshinki's feel."
Q: Yes… So that means the songs are more to your own taste, bringing you closer to your goal?
CM: That's right. So far, it's a little fresher in a various means (laughs)
Q: The album's opening has the same feeling like a show opening.
YC: Yes! Tohoshinki never be in such mysterious image, mature feeling… I think it's the charm of this album.
CM: But personally, since I caught a cold during the recording, it's really a pity…
YC: Nevertheless, this album shows that Changmin's mind has been growing mature..
Q: Cool support! Which song do you think can show your growth?
YC: My self composed song "Kiss The Baby Sky" (laughs).. and then "FORCE" also brings out a new feeling.
CM: "Stand Up" does. I think a live performance of this will be great. Men usually feel embarrassed to admit they like male band, but I hope this album can makes them crossing over that fence.
Q: I thought so too. But then… what about your recent life in Japan?
YC: I'm having fun. I watch Detective Conan and Naruto every night. And I'll sneak out to eat ramen in the middle of the night (laughs).
Q: Do the 5 of you live together?
CM: Although we have 3 rooms, but recently, each person's personal area has appeared……
YC: Although I share a room with Jaejoong, but in recent years I've created my own little world in the living room
CM: I share with Yunho, yet I'm currently wandering around every part of the house (laughs)
Q: The way you say about it sounds really interesting.
CM: Childish, but manly (laughs). Although I've become an adult in songs, yet I'm still a kid at home ♪ (laughs)

[Trans] Nikkei Magazine March Issue – Yoochun Interview
Posted in Translations with tags Micky, Yoochun on March 10, 2009 by kenkyu
DOB: 4th June 1986
Blood Type: O
Speciality: Piano, Composing songs + lyrics
He has a strong need for feeling responsible. He is able to read mood/atmosphere well. As Yunho would say, "He's the type of person to always say "Let's make a song together". He's able to put forward many suggestions during these times."
(Something Yoochun said) – "Japanese noodles are the best. Recently I've had a thing for Miso noodles."
His English proficiency comes from the fact that he studied school in America.
One would never have imagine such a husky voice that can be sung in Korean, Japanese and English (including rap) could come out of such a warming face. This particular husky voice is what makes him unique in the group.
During live performances or at awards ceremonies, there are times when he tears but sayings like "he's a real man" and "he's got that cute aspect but you can still feel his manliness" continue to revolve around him. It is this characteristic that attracts and throbs the hearts of many Japanese women out there.
"I was so excited to go to Japan for the first time that I hadn't thought much of anything – I only took a few CDs; I didn't even take my laptop nor set up roaming for my phone. It was only when we arrived that reality slowly hit me (laughs).
"None of us were able to speak Japanese, so we were never able to express our feelings. Every day I had thought of wanting to go back to Korea, but slowly the live music/performances started to appeal to me in Japan. In Japan, you're truly able to feel the communication between you and the audience with live music.
"Even though in Korea we got to perform at the biggest venues performing the biggest and coolest performances, in Japan we loved singing to small audiences, who enjoyed our songs quietly. That was a difference between the audience in Japan and the audience in Korea.
But nevertheless, the realisation of us being known in Japan was something that we could've never imagined.
For me personally, it would be nice if the 5 of us could one day host our own show together, something similar to SMAPxSMAP – a fun talk show, a show that would let us perform and let us play any newly composed songs… if the 5 of us could host something like that it would be great."

Dan Drohan Shows His "Strength"; 'You're A Crusher/drocan!' out June 26th
Posted on May 12, 2020 by J. Hubner
Drummer/composer Dan Drohan lends his percussion talents to many, such as psych rock outfit Olden Folk, Maggie Rogers' Blood Ballet (an album on which he also served as co-producer), and future pop project Dreamaway. But on his own he makes experimental beat-based music that sounds like Madlib, Battles, Animal Collective, and a touch of Yoshimi-era Flaming Lips. Ghostly vocals(reminiscent of Panda Bear) coalesce with distorted breakbeats and wonky electronics, giving you the feeling of coming across some alien radio station late at night.
With Drohan's upcoming album, You're a Crusher/drocan!, Dan goes all in with the experimentation and expert rhythm making. There's a manic energy that permeates the record, and lead single "Strength" is the perfect proto-track to introduce you to the sonic world you're stepping into. What's it sound like? It's a hip hop-inflected beat lathered in layers of garage rock grime with touches of Panda Bear's Person Pitch. The aged quality of the sound gives it a Madlib-esque vibe, but this is very much a Dan Drohan production.
Here's more about the project:
The first half of this project—You're a Crusher—was put together slowly over the course of two years while Drohan was still living in Brooklyn with his family. He moved to New York in 2011 after several years studying at the Berklee School of Music and playing gigs around Boston. One of the projects he took on after his relocation was élan, a quartet with guitarists Bobbie Johnson and Derek Smith, and vocalist Élan Orr. With their help, he developed the YAC material, recording demos with the group that he would then tweak and manipulate on his laptop while in the van or on airplanes during his touring gigs or quietly in his kitchen in the mornings while his son slept.
And here's what Dan had to say about "Strength" and the second half of this project, 'drocan!':
"Strength" is an experience more than anything else. Like most work of mine, it's a combination of certain drum recordings and experiments with recording and other sounds, guitars, vocals, synths that were from all different time periods and combined… This one was made over the course of 2019 but then really found its form after Mike Cantor of drocan felt it had to be released. So I used his energy in the room. It turned into an anthem for us and we kept trying to pinpoint what music it reminded us of. It ultimately is a great example of what a lot of this music is, which is that it completes some sort of void that we can find fragments in with other artists music but haven't felt them together before in one song. The lyrics to this song will come out later after people absorb it for what they think it means to them 🙂
This album documents the very first time Mike Cantor and I ever have been in a friendship or a musical partnership. He had known my wife's family since they were in high school. After moving from Brooklyn to Massachusetts, I had a period where I wasn't making nearly as much music with other people than before. It was an interesting transition in my life and serendipitously Mike and I linked up. His taste in music is so crazy and he's a super talented all around musician and technician. One of the first times he came over to my studio, I was a nut, going on about all this material I had been making on my computer and I didn't know yet what to do with it all. I had sourced so much of it, creating this language but couldn't yet write stories with it. It was all from these sessions I call TOTAL TOKYO. Mike came into the room just being like, "been there dude..haha." He got me out of my head at the right moment and into feeling empowered, not confused. We started just showing each other stuff and things we made, like "Through the Night" or "Strength". He got all the things is was trying to convey and he was about it. We ended up committing to making an album within a month and completed "drocan!" In a whirlwind. It was so much fun and we distilled so many things we like in all kinds of music we both listen to or want to make.
You're a Crusher/drocan! will be released on June 26th, 2020. You can preorder it here. And check out "Strength" below.

Q: How to use Flask-User to create account holder and sub-users I'm learning to make a project using Flask and Flask-User and MongoEngine. What I want to do is an account holder (a company) signs up to use the app and then that account holder can create sub-user access with limited privileges for their staff. When I followed the Flask-User documentation on Role and UserRoles data-models, it seems like I cannot create that kind of super-user sub-user structure because user_id refers back to the user that registers. So how do I go about doing this?
Thanks!

A: I don't think Flask-User is designed for the organizational features you are asking for. However, there are packages that provide some more guidance on creating groups of users and authorization structures around that. For example: Flask-Authorize
If that adds too much complexity, you could always consider implementing something of your own. For example adding a manager_id on the user model and implicitly making users with a valid manager_id set a type of sub-user you are talking about.

Covao Dos Conchos – Getting Up Close
The fascinating Covao dos Conchos, high in the Serra da Estrela natural park in Portugal is called the 'eye' by locals. This incredible man-made hole is actually a spillway and well worth the short hike to get up close to the mesmerising spectacle, set deep in the rugged Portuguese mountains.
Jump ahead to:
How to Visit Covao dos Conchos Portugal
What is Covao dos Conchos?
Why Should I Visit Cavao dos Conchos?
When to Visit Cavao dos Conchos
Getting to the Start Point
Hiking to Cavao dos Conchos
Covão dos Conchos is an artificial lake in the Serra da Estrela mountains in Portugal, in which a bell-mouth spillway has been set. A bell-mouth spillway is designed like an inverted bell, where water can enter around the entire perimeter. These uncontrolled spillways are also called morning glory, (after the flower) or glory hole spillways.
The spillway was built in 1955 to divert water from Ribeira das Naves to Lagoa Comprida and is part of the hydro-electric dam system of Serra da Estrela. The engineered structure has a height of 4.6m and a circumference of 48m. Inside Cãvao dos Conchos is a tunnel that collects the water as it rushes in, which is a whopping 1519m long.
Cavao dos Conchos
Not only is the hole itself breathtaking, it is situated in the stunning Serra da Estrela, the highest range in continental Portugal and home to the tallest mountain in Portugal at 1993m. It's a wild and unspoiled place with amazing views across the craggy granite mountains and the Dao valley. The whole area that you will cover hiking to Cavao dos Conchos is a designated GeoPark, formed millions of years ago by glaciers, which have left fantastic irregular boulder fields, huge exposed slabs of rock and deep ravines to explore. And of course, the beautiful Lagoa Comprida heralds the start of the hike and is perfect for a dip afterwards on a hot day.
Down the mountain is the pretty and hospitable town of Seia, where you will find traditional and local produce including wine from the Dao valley, cheese and the famous Seia bread.
Lagoa Comprida
You can visit at any time of the year as long as the road up to Lagoa Comprida is open. The Serra da Estrela is one of Portugal's top winter destinations and snow in winter is definitely a possibility. The lake looks stunning when it's frosted with ice, but the trails may well be icy too, so good walking boots and thermals are a must at this time of year.
In August it will be busy, especially at the weekends, with Portuguese locals driving up to Lagoa Comprida for a day of sun-bathing and swimming on it's shores. It will also be hot, so take water, sunscreen and a hat if you're planning on visiting in the summer.
September and October are good months, the weather will still be warm but the crowds much less. March and April are the wettest months, but with high rainfall and snowmelt volume, you'll see the full force of the spillway in operation as water rushes into its open jaws, to start its descent to the lake. May and June are just about perfect with good water levels and ideal hiking weather!
Whatever the time of year, if photography or drone footage is important or you want the views, try and avoid the days when low cloud envelops the mountains.
Other Portugal Travel Ideas
Autumn in Europe Trips
Porto in One Day
Portugal by Campervan
The easiest way to get to the trailhead at Lagoa Comprida is by driving from Seia on the N339 or Covilha, on the other side of the Serra da Estrela, also on the N339. The N339 is a normal two-way tarmacked road which is regularly driven by tourist coaches.
There is plenty of level parking at Lagoa Comprida, which is free of charge. If you're touring Portugal in a motorhome or campervan, this is a great spot to stay overnight, although there are no services.
There are a few small shops selling local handy-crafts and foods, as well as a small cafe.
(this is a relatively easy hike and would score a one for difficulty, if not for a few sections of the trail which are tricky underfoot due to the uneven rubble and rocks, and the final bit of narrow dam which needs to be crossed to get to the viewing point for the hole.)
The start point of the hike is at the Lagoa Comprida. As you arrive, you will see the enormous (and pretty impressive) dam wall in front of you, which you can walk along for the best view of the lake. Park and as you face the dam, head left past the few shops. You'll pick up the trail easily, as there is only one!
It is also possible to follow the trail to Cavao dos Conchos on a mountain bike, although less experienced riders may have to dismount for some of the more rocky sections.
Within a few minutes, you'll have left the car park behind and be immersed in nature, with the vast lake spread out to your right and incredible views to your left. You'll soon pass a circular bowl type area on your left which was where stone for the dam was quarried in the fifties.
The trail you are now on takes you all the way to the Cavao dos Conchos. You will pass a house on your right which is barely visible but you will notice on your return journey, although it has been set so well in it's surroundings you might miss it unless you really search for it! The drive way is chained off and a little further on the track is a right fork which takes you to the lake. Don't take this, keep on the current path. You're about half way there at this point.
All along this track are intriguing slabs of rock, huge balancing boulders and little streams and waterfalls. If you like to get off the beaten path, allow a full day for this hike, you won't be able to resist stepping off the trail to explore!
Covao dos Conchos
The small lake in which Cavao dos Conchos is sited will appear on your left, follow the track down along the side of the lake to the small concrete dam. You won't be able to see the spillway from here though – it's sort of hidden! Cross the dam (there is a path behind the dam wall), looking out for the hundreds of frogs in the waters below, until you reach the rocky slabs on the other side.
Make your way over these to the final hurdle – a narrow dam wall without a path. There is vegetation and a 2m drop on your right, with a 1m drop into water on your left, so not a catastrophe if you fell off!
Once safely over, follow the small path through the undergrowth to another rocky slab which is a great vantage point for taking pictures or launching a drone. A bit further on from this is the best place to see the spillway, right at the edge of the lake.
Your first view will take your breath away – this feat of engineering is in perfect harmony with the surroundings, hosting grasses and other plants growing in the opening. In the constant flow of fresh water, the flora and fauna around the hole are abundant and lush, with dragonflies darting in and out of the greenery and small fish and water insects easily visible in the clear lake.
Looking down is always a mistake!
There are dozens of tracks and trails around the lake and in the surrounding areas – there are at least three trig points visible on the hike. You could easily spend a week with a small tent hiking in the area and the geological nature of the mountain range makes the landscape in this part of Portugal particularly fascinating.

Staying/working in Luxembourg as a British citizen
Travelling between Luxembourg and the United Kingdom
Acquiring the Luxembourg nationality
Employment in the public service in Luxembourg
Information for British citizens residing in Luxembourg
I am a British citizen in possession of a registration certificate in Luxembourg. Why will I need a new residence document once the United Kingdom leaves the European Union?
Pursuant to Directive 2004/38 on the free movement of persons, the registration certificate was issued to British citizens and their family members, as were other residence documents issued (permanent residence certificate, residence permit and permanent residence permit).
However, after the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the EU, the right of residence of British citizens and their family members will no longer derive from Directive 2004/38, but from the Withdrawal Agreement.
Your residence document issued before the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the EU will be replaced by a new residence document valid from the end of the transition period. The exact details on the replacement procedure are available in the following explanatory text:
Applying for a residence document for British nationals and members of their family who are nationals of a third country, covered by the Withdrawal Agreement (for persons who are residents on 31 December 2020)
The new residence document will specify that its holder is covered by the Withdrawal Agreement, which will allow them to exercise the specific rights that derive therefrom.
Do I need to register or submit a special application to get the new residence document?
The exact details of the replacement procedure are available in the following explanatory text:
I am a British citizen and I live and work in Luxembourg. Will I need a special permit to continue working in Luxembourg after Brexit?
British citizens will not need a specific permit to exercise the right to work in Luxembourg, as they are entitled to work in any EU Member State under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement.
I am a British citizen and I work in Luxembourg, but live in France. Will I be allowed to continue working in Luxembourg after Brexit?
Under the Withdrawal Agreement, British citizens will continue to enjoy the right to engage in a professional activity as a cross-border worker in a EU Member State after the end of the transition period, if the paid activity started before the end of the transition period. The Withdrawal Agreement defines a cross-border worker as a person who works in one Member State and lives in another Member State, to which they return every day or at least once a week.
In Luxembourg, it is anticipated that those concerned can request a document certifying their rights deriving from the Agreement after 31 December 2020. The exact details are available in the following explanatory text:
Requesting a document for a British national which attests to their rights as a cross-border worker
I am married to a British citizen and I am a third country national (non-EU and non-UK). Will I be allowed to stay in Luxembourg after Brexit?
A third country national who is a family member of a British citizen covered by the Withdrawal Agreement will also benefit from the rights deriving from the Withdrawal Agreement. They will continue to enjoy their right of residence in Luxembourg after Brexit, for as long as they fulfill the conditions for recognition as a family member of a British citizen. They will keep that right even after the end of the transition period.
However, they must dispose of a new residence document attesting their status as beneficiary of the Withdrawal Agreement and which replaces their current residence document (residence permit, permanent residence permit).
I am married to a British citizen and am, myself, a citizen of another EU Member State. Will I be allowed to stay in Luxembourg after Brexit?
A British citizen's family member who is an EU citizen will continue to enjoy the right of residence.
As the family member can avail themselves of their right of residence as an EU citizen, their current residence document (registration certificate or certificate of permanent residence) remains valid and they are not obliged to apply for a new document.
However, since the family member is also a beneficiary of the Withdrawal Agreement, they can apply for a new residence document to be issued in this capacity if they so wish.
I am a British national but also have the nationality of another EU Member State. Do I have to take any steps to obtain a new residence document?
No, not necessarily.
British nationals, who hold dual nationality [British nationality and a nationality of a EU Member State or of one of the other states that have acceded to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein) or of the Swiss Confederation)], may avail themselves of the rights deriving from their second nationality and are not obliged to request a new document.
However, since the persons holding dual nationality are also beneficiaries of the Withdrawal Agreement, they can apply for a new residence document to be issued in this capacity if they so wish.
I am a British national and I work in Luxembourg. What will happen to my social security affiliation?
Persons working in Luxembourg are covered by social security regardless of their nationality. British citizens in this situation remain covered by the Luxembourg social security so long as they work in Luxembourg and are covered for:
health care;
sickness;
long-term care;
work-related accidents or illnesses;
pension;
family benefits.
I am a British national and intend to settle in Luxembourg after 31 December 2020. What are the procedures to follow?
British nationals who do not meet the conditions to be considered a beneficiary of the Withdrawal Agreement must follow the procedures applicable to third country nationals to stay in Luxembourg. Information on the procedures to follow is available in the explanatory texts in the "Immigration" section.
I am a family member of a British national residing in Luxembourg whom I would like to join after 31 December 2020. What are the procedures to follow?
The family member who is himself a UK national or a national of another third country must check whether he or she meets the conditions to be considered a beneficiary of the Withdrawal Agreement. Detailed information on the applicable conditions is available in the following explanatory text:
Applying for a residence document for a family member, whether a British national or a third-country national, covered by the Withdrawal Agreement (for persons arriving after 31 December 2020)
If the family member does not meet the conditions to be considered a beneficiary of the Withdrawal Agreement, he or she must follow the procedures applicable to third-country nationals with a view to staying in Luxembourg. Information on the procedures to follow is available in the explanatory texts in the "Immigration" section.
If the family member holds the nationality of a EU Member State or of one of the other states, which have acceded to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein) or the Swiss Confederation, he/she may avail himself/herself of the rights deriving from that nationality.
After the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020, what will the arrangements be for Luxembourg nationals traveling between the United Kingdom and Luxembourg?
Since 1 January 2021, Luxembourg nationalsneed to be in possession of a valid passport or identity card. No visa is required for leisure travel (such as tourist or family visits), as long as the duration of the trip is less than 6 months.
Please note that according to the UK Government's indications it will no longer be possible for citizens of the European Union, the European Economic Area and Switzerland to enter the UK solely with an identity card from 1 October 2021. From that date onwards, Luxembourg nationals will therefore be required to carry a valid passport.
However, the possibility of using identity cards will be maintained until 2025 for Luxembourg nationals who reside in the United Kingdom on 31 December 2020 and who hold either "settled" status or "pre-settled" status.
It should be noted that specific measures have also been put in place for passengers returning from the United Kingdom following the lifting of the temporary suspension of scheduled passenger flights on 23 December 2020. These specific measures, as long as they are applicable, apply to all passengers arriving from the United Kingdom on a scheduled passenger flight, regardless of the nationality of the persons concerned.
Similarly, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, specific conditions currently apply to travelers to the United Kingdom.
For further information, interested parties may contact the competent authorities in the United Kingdom, as well as the Embassy of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in London (Email: londres.amb@mae.etat.lu | Phone: (+44-20) 7235 6961).
What impact will the end of the transition period have on my mobile subscription with regard to roaming charges?
From 1 January 2021, roaming providers (i.e., the national provider of mobile communication services - voice, SMS or data calls) operating in the European Union will be entitled to charge their roaming customers additional roaming charges.
In principle, EU law on roaming services prohibits any provider of roaming services in the EU from imposing additional charges, over and above the national retail price, on customers travelling within the EU.
However, following the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020, this obligation will no longer apply either to roaming providers operating in the EU when their customers roam in the UK or to roaming providers operating in the UK when their customers roam in the EU. Providers will have to inform their roaming customers of the applicable roaming charges for the services provided.
Providers will nevertheless remain free to continue to apply the current tariffs to their customers.
Will the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the EU have an impact on British nationals in terms of acquiring Luxembourg nationality?
