Look VÍDEO ( os 2 em ação ).

Essa foi cena que chamou muito minha atenção nesta viagem de Santarém para Belém num barco. Na verdade é uma das muitas pois é uma realidade da região.

A habilidade, a força e a facilidade com que essas crianças desempenham esse trabalho me deixaram muito impressionado.

Vejam o video, mas no inicio, que não deu para filmar, eles jogam um gancho com uma corda nos pneus atrelados ao barco , que esta em alta velocidade, e sobem nele para vender coisas ( camarão, palmito, frutas regionais , etc ).

É uma realidade que entristece por um lado, afinal são crianças que arriscam suas vidas para sobreviver, mesmo o fazendo com uma habilidade fantástica, tem seus perigos.

Os dois do vídeo aparentemente não tem nem 10 anos de idade.

Mas é uma realidade da região, como falei acima..... essas crianças nascem fazendo isso. Em uma foto que mostrarei em breve com um video, as mãe os levam desde cedo para a lida.

Riverbend Business Park,

Big bend, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada

Oxford Properties is building this 707,000-square-foot facility at its Riverbend Business Park in Burnaby, B.C.

Another version of the stacked industrial concept is under construction in suburban Burnaby, where Oxford Properties Group is building a two-storey, 707,000-square-foot industrial facility at the company’s 65-acre Riverbend Business Park. Located on a site that once served a former paperboard milling plant and a 14-acre landfill, the master-planned park will house a total of six warehouse and distribution facilities (four are already built) and offer a variety of employee-friendly amenities.

The multi-level building, set to open in mid-2022 with LEED-certified environmental ratings, has ground-floor space of 437,000 square feet and a higher-than-average ceiling height of 32 feet for extra clearance and 270,000 square feet on the 28-foot-high second floor that includes its own-level parking for tenants. The building will have a heated exterior ramp for 53-foot trailers to make deliveries and a 130-foot court for trucks to circulate.

“A lot of thought went into the design to make sure this building functions as any other standard distribution building,” says Jeff Miller, Oxford’s head of industrial properties. “We didn’t want to sacrifice any physical attributes for having this building stacked.”

While the two Vancouver projects are among the first in Canada, stacked buildings are well established in other global centres, in Asia and parts of the United States, where industrial space is at a premium and demand runs high from tenants with a growing e-commerce business.

In 2018, San Francisco-based Prologis Inc. built a first-of-its-kind three-floor industrial warehouse close to downtown Seattle, including second-storey access for tractor-trailers. The 590,000-square-foot facility includes Amazon and Home Depot as its first- and second-storey tenants, respectively.

“As retailers look to cut delivery times from days to hours, particularly due to the rise of e-commerce, it is critical for them to locate their distribution facilities closer to consumers,” Prologis director of corporate communications Paul Frankle stated in an e-mail. “Going vertical is one of the innovations Prologis has developed as a way to provide our customers with modern space near consumers in dense, urban areas. While multi-storey logistics facilities are fairly new to the U.S., we have been developing multi-storey logistics facilities for years in other markets around the world, most notably in Japan.”

Still, stacked industrial buildings come with challenges. A 2019 report by Colliers International cites industry estimates that these vertical buildings cost up to three times as much to build as a conventional warehouse. Oxford’s Mr. Miller says, “the market fundamentals need to be really strong to justify this type of construction.”

The upside of going higher, of course, is the potential for more rentable space from the same-size lot as a conventional building.

Mr. Smith, of Colliers, says he knows of several groups in Vancouver now weighing plans to build stacked industrial projects over the next three to five years.

“When I have been asked to provide purchasers with a list of options to stay in Vancouver, they might have only one option,” he says. “Now these stacked industrial projects are providing them with a few more options where they can expand and stay [close to their markets].”

Amazon Rainforest threatened by humans by Johann de Jager (Sasolburg, RSA)

The human impact on the Amazon rainforest has been grossly underestimated according to an international team of researchers from Brazil and the UK, led by Lancaster University.

They found that selective logging and surface wildfires can result in an annual loss of 54 billion tonnes of carbon from the Brazilian Amazon, increasing greenhouse gas emissions.

This is equivalent to 40% of the yearly carbon loss from deforestation -- when entire forests are chopped down.

This is the largest ever study estimating above and below-ground carbon loss from selective logging and ground level forest fires in the tropics, based on data from 70,000 sampled trees and thousands of soil, litter and dead wood samples from 225 sites in the eastern Brazilian Amazon.
