The Beni River (Spanish: Río Beni) is a river in the north of Bolivia.It rises north of La Paz and flows northeast. It is the most important tributary of the Madre de Dios River. Two of Beni's tributaries are the Madidi River and the Tuichi River in the Madidi National Park and Madidi National Park respectively. Tuichi River joins the Beni River upstream from the town Rurrenabaque. South of Rurrenabaque, the Beni River runs through the Amazon rainforest. About 30 km (19 mi) before joining the Mamoré River at the Bolivia-Brazil border, the rapids of Cachuela Esperanza interrupt the upstream navigability of the river.
Just got these in the mail today!!! I can't wait to play Pokemon Art Academy because of what I've seen from Game Grumps and Luigifan10 and my Bowser Jr. looks amazing! He's probably one of my favorite Amiibo! Now I'm just waiting to get Dr. Mario, he's coming on Wednesday!

Leticia, Colombia, taken in December 1998. My first time in the Amazon, with Everaldo and Heber, and the infamous Joel, with whom we parted company a few days later at an army barracks late at night just over the border in Brazil. A stage had been set for what looked like go-go dancers, there were soldiers with guns positioned around the perimeter, and at some point, a fully-clad Santa Claus was lowered into the arena. It felt like a scene from a bad Vargas Llosa novel, so we hitched back across to Leticia. I can still remember this storm, though. A highlight. We'd just left the then semi-ruined hotel that had belonged to the American drug trafficker Mike Tsalikis on La Isla de los Micos.
Two weeks ago, this flooded part of the Amazon River looked very different!

The Volvo Amazon is a mid-size car manufactured and marketed by Volvo Cars from 1956 to 1970 and introduced in the USA as the 122S at the New York International Auto Show in April 1959.
The Amazon shared the wheelbase, tall posture and high H-point seating of its predecessor, the PV and was offered in two-door sedan, four-door sedan, and five-door wagon body styles. In 1959 Volvo became the world's first manufacturer to provide front seat belts as standard equipment — by providing them on all Amazon models, including the export models — and later becoming the first car featuring three-point seat belts as standard equipment.
When introduced, the car was named the Amason (with an 's'), deriving from the fierce female warriors of Greek mythology, the Amazons. German motorcycle manufacturer Kreidler had already registered the name, and the two companies finally agreed that Volvo could only use the name domestically (i.e., within Sweden), modifying the spelling to Amazon. Subsequently, Volvo began its tri-digit nomenclature and the line became known as the 120 Series.
The Amazon was originally manufactured at Volvo's Lundby plant in Gothenburg and subsequently at the company's Torslandaverken plant, which began operating in 1964. By the end of production, 234,653 four-door models, 359,917 two-door models and 73,220 station wagons had been produced, of which 60% were exported; for a total of 667,791 vehicles.

Since 2017, I've been engaging in a number of short, private crossdressing opportunities at home, after acquiring and trying out some new clothes, shoes, and accessories. This is another pic posted from this renewed CD activity, and was taken inside my house. It is actually a still frame taken from a video I recorded. The full video is posted at youtu.be/4jK-pb0d0oQ.
As usual, I really enjoy color-coordinating attractive/sexy/cute outfits, and this one features:
* a Rbenxia "rose red" fuchsia curly long 32" wig, from amazon;
* Jessica Simpson "boysenberry purple" magenta-ish suede "Javrey" slingback-cutout-back 4"-stiletto-heel peeptoe shooties, from Macy's;
* an ECI fuchsia/black metallic-knit vertical-striped A-line midi skirt, from Burlington;
* an INC pink v-neck-with-O-ring-embellishment top, from Macy's;

An old Volvo Amazon from 1966 stood at the junkyard that I visited. I couldn't resist taking an HDR of it.

These leafcutter ants of the genus Atta from the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador dissect a leaf with their strong mandibles and carry the pieces to their colony's fungus garden under ground. They cannot digest the leaves themselves but cultivate a special fungus on which they feed. The wingless worker ants are females. Each ant can carry up to 50 times its own body weight. This is equivalent to a man carrying a van over his head!

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].”

With five of us wedged into a wobbly, four-seater plane, this is a selection of shots from our sweaty one-hour flight from Manaus, in the Brazilian Amazon, to Novo Aripuana -even deeper in the Amazon- and back. Many thanks to Daniel, the pilot, for permitting the use of electronic devices. Aerial view of the Amazon Rainforest, near Manaus, the capital of the Brazilian state of Amazonas.
