Aproveito esta especial ocasião e quero agradecer a si e
toda a sua equipe por todo o apoio e profissionalismo ao longo destes últimos
anos e em especial durante este incrível e “louco” ano de 2020 onde vivemos uma
pandemia a nível Mundial, mas mais uma vez e cada um á sua maneira “lutamos” e
fizemos o melhor possível para ultrapassar estas inesperadas adversidades e
todos temos de repensar, de tirar as devidas elações, de aprender com os erros
do passado e pensar o que realmente queremos para o nosso Futuro..
Fomos
privados de coisas simples, como um aperto de mão, de convívios familiares, de
mantermos distâncias, do nosso normal modo de vida..., mas soubemos ajustar-nos
e superar todos os obstáculos, mantendo sempre o nosso compromisso.
Todos nós tivemos de nos reinventar, coisas simples como
a forma de comunicar e de expressar os sentimentos. De uma maneira ou de outra,
soubemos como sempre digo Fazer Acontecer.
Mas estando bem de Saúde, tendo comigo a minha família
apenas desejo e espero que esta minha realidade seja também a vossa.
Muito obrigado por estarem ao lado da empresa que com grande orgulho represento.
Repito parte da mensagem que partilhei com a minha equipe
o ano passado, pois são estas as minhas palavras mais sinceras e ainda atuais.
“Durante nossas vidas passamos por vários momentos
incríveis, e um desses momentos para mim foi o momento em que tive a
oportunidade de fazer parte desta equipe. Quero aproveitar este momento para
agradecer a oportunidade de crescimento que cada um de vocês me proporcionou”.
Esta mensagem também se revela em cada um de vocês, que considero parte da base de sucesso da Eaton em Portugal.
Desejo a todos a maior Saúde e claro, o maior Sucesso,
pois este será o Sucesso de todos nós.
Desejo um Excelente e Feliz Natal repleto
de boas energias e um próspero e Feliz 2021!!!
Hoje dia 08/12/20 é um dia histórico pois foi dada a primeira vacina no Reino Unido e assim dar o primeiro passo para rapidamente quanto possível eliminarmos esta pandemia das nossas vidas!
Em Portugal será dia 27/12/2020. Enquanto houver vida teremos Esperança!
The safety of the Covid-19
vaccine should be considered from the time of its production to its final
receptor. "Even if the vaccine is free for people, they are desperate and
would like to be at the top of the queue," warns ISIO, International
Security Industry Organization, in a document consulted by Security Magazine.
As he points out, "despite the
assurances given by governments, there will be many who fear that the vaccine
will not reach them until many months after the first deliveries." In this
sense, he says, "if there is any delay in deliveries, the situation will
worsen." It also points out that "people who are at the end of the
list of recipients or living in rural areas may fear that the length of time to
receive the vaccine will be too long."
With this situation, ISIO stresses
that people will "beg" or commit thefts "to satisfy the need to
obtain the vaccine for family and friends." There are also people who, due
to their weakened situation, can "react more desperately".
"Opportunistic crime will be
rampant by transnational and local organized crime, as well as the crime of
gangs and lone predators, who will try to obtain the vaccine at all
costs," he said.
For manufacturers, the biggest
problems are in the storage and transport of vaccines using temperature
control. "Any company that produces or has cold storage facilities, in
addition to others that can store or transport, the so-called cold logistics,
would be an easy target," he says.
ISIO also points out that hospitals,
clinics and pharmacies would also be an easy target.
ISIO is harsh in
the criticisms pointed out, highlighting the issue of nepotism –
originated by anyone who has proximity to the vaccine – and corruption – with people offering good amounts to
access the vaccine.
According to the International Energy Agency's (IEA) annual report, in the first quarter of 2020, global use of renewable energy in all sectors increased by about 1.5 percent compared to the first quarter of 2019.
Renewable electricity production has increased
by almost 3%, mainly due to new wind projects and photovoltaic panels completed
in the last year.
The share of renewable energy in global
electricity production rose to almost 28% in the first quarter of 2020, up from
26% in the first quarter of 2019.
The increase in renewable energy was mainly
due to the increase in the price of coal and gas, although these two sources
still account for close to 60% of the global electricity supply.
Renewable energy is also resistant to the
reduction in electricity demand, which is estimated to be 5% in 2020 due to
priority access to networks and low operating costs.
The report predicts that total overall use of
renewable energy will increase by around 1% in 2020.
Despite supply chain disruptions that have
disrupted or slowed activity in several strategic locations (e.g.: China, which
accounts for more than 70% of global solar panel production), social insulation
measures, along with economic incentives in response to the economic slowdown,
the expansion of solar, wind and hydro power is expected to help renewable
electricity production increase by almost 5% by 2020.
Solar energy
It should be the fastest growing renewable
source in 2020. Even if they are positive data, the IEA shows some prudence
given the consumer profile - a fifth of all globally deployed capacity was made
up of private individuals or SMEs that installed solar panels on their roofs -
and the drastic cancellation or slowdown of the installation of panels as a
result of contingency measures that prevent access to buildings.
Wind power
Wind power is expected to increase more in
terms of absolute generation among all renewables. A windy start to the year
from January to March in many regions and strong capacity additions last year
are expected to give wind production a boost by 2020. In countries such as
China or the US, the legal framework dictates that wind projects must be
commissioned by the end of 2020 before they can have access to subsidies and
production credits.
Water energy
Water energy production remains the biggest
uncertainty in 2020, as it accounts for almost 60% of all renewable production
globally and is dependent on precipitation and temperature patterns.
Biofuels
Biofuel consumption is expected to be
substantially lower than in 2019.
Liquid biofuels are directly affected by the
decrease in demand for fuel in road transport, as they are mixed with gasoline
or diesel. Ethanol and biodiesel production facilities in Brazil, the European Union
and the United States have reduced their exports as a result of declining
domestic and international demand.
In addition to the decrease in demand, the
drop in gasoline prices undermines the competitiveness of ethanol consumption,
and to reduce losses, many companies are choosing to use this raw material for
the manufacture of hand sanitist gel.
A faster or slower recovery would have limited
effects on renewable electricity production by 2020, with year-on-year growth
expected in most conditions. However, the impacts on the renewable energy
industry could be very high, as the regions most affected by the Covid-19
crisis could see a sharp reduction in construction. The production of renewable
electricity depends largely on the availability of natural resources, since the
climate is the main determinant for water, wind and solar energy, which
together account for about 90% of all renewable electricity production.
A antiga lenda da NBA, Michael Jordan, disse sobre o fracasso e a aprendizagem:
"Na minha vida de jogador profissional da NBA, falhei mais de 9000 cestos. Perdi quase 300 jogos. 26 vezes, confiaram-me para assumir o jogo vencedor e falhei. Falhei vezes sem conta na minha vida. E é por isso que tenho sucesso."
Das poucas certezas que tenho é que temos de aprender rapidamente como podemos incorporar algumas destas medidas na nossa rotina de trabalho diário para sempre, sem ter impacto no negócio das empresas, para que, quando uma nova ameaça deste tipo apareça, estejamos mais bem preparados e que o impacto seja o mais pequeno possível, em todos os sentidos. Até lá, as regras, impostas para controlar o risco de contaminação pelo novo coronavírus, COVID-19, serão fundamentais até ao aparecimento de uma vacina e até que a imunidade do grupo seja alcançada.
