Es el sitio con huellas de dinosaurios más importante del mundo, ya que contiene más de 5.000 huellas de 294 especies. La ciudad de El Alto está ubicada a 4.150 metros de altitud y es una de las localidades más pobladas del mundo a gran altitud: en ella viven alrededor de un millón de personas. En el corazón del altiplano se encuentra el Salar de Uyuni, considerado como el más extenso del planeta con una dimensión de 10.582 km2 (superficie similar al Líbano). El Lago Titicaca, ubicado entre Bolivia y Perú, se considera el lago navegable más alto del mundo, a unos 3810 metros sobre el nivel del mar. En la Isla del Sol, la más grande del lago, se encuentran varios sitios arqueológicos, entre los cuales está la “Roca Sagrada” o Roca de los orígenes. Según la leyenda es donde nacieron Manco Cápac y Mama Ocllo, los primeros Incas, hijos de los Dioses del Sol y de la Luna. En Bolivia la bebida nacional es el singani, un popular licor elaborado a partir de la destilación de vino de la uva moscatel de Alejandría o Muscat de Alejandría. Bolivia es uno de los mayores productores mundiales de quinua. Este grano ancestral se cultiva en este territorio desde hace más de cinco mil años, en tanto el país ha llegado a liderar el ranking de mayor productor mundial. En Bolivia, sobre todo en la parte andina del oeste del país, a la población le encanta seguir las tradiciones de challar todo: el auto, la casa, el negocio. La definición de challar en el diccionario es rociar el suelo con licor en homenaje a la madre tierra o Pachamama. Otro significado es festejar con comidas y bebidas la adquisición de un bien. Bolivia es el hogar de una de las cinco especies de delfines que solo se encuentran en agua dulce. El delfín de río boliviano (Inia boliviensis), también conocido como "bufeo boliviano", es la única especie de delfines presente en este país. El color de piel puede variar de color gris oscuro, blanco a rosado.My new Youtube channel: Spanish with Dennishttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVuRUMQGwtzBIp1YAImQFQMy new Discord server and chat and you can already join and write to me there:https://discord.gg/HWGrnmTmyCMy new Telegram channel and you can already join and write to me or comment there:https://t.me/SpanishwithDennisJoin my Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/spanishwithdennisSupport me by joining my podcasts supporter club on Spreaker:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/slow-spanish-language--5613080/supportDonate with Boosty:https://boosty.to/spanishwithdennis/donateDonate with Donation Alerts:https://www.donationalerts.com/r/dennisespinosaDonate with Crypto currency:Bitcoin (BTC)1DioiGPAQ6yYbEgcxEFRxWm5hZJcfLG9V6USDT (ERC20)0xeb8f678c0b8d37b639579662bf653be762e60855USDT (TRC20)TXoQwsaiTGBpWVkyeigApLT8xC82rQwRCNEthereum (ETH)0xeb8f678c0b8d37b639579662bf653be762e60855If you have any other suggestions or recommendations on what other platform you can support me and my podcasts, please let me know.

Prototypes and demoware.That was Monumental two years ago, at their $25m Series A.Yesterday they announced a $32m Series B led by Khosla Ventures. In between, their robots laid the entire brickwork on 100 houses, plus canal walls and commercial buildings, as a subcontractor carrying full liability for the work.The day after the announcement, co-founder Salar al Khafaji sat down with us.In his words:"The Series A was basically still like an R&D round... we had some prototypes, we had some like demoware basically.""The Series B was raised off actual success."And the line that will start arguments:"Everyone is obsessed with speed. Speed doesn't really matter."A bricklaying robot company telling you speed doesn't matter. His reasoning is worth the listen on its own.Also in this one:> Why SAM and Hadrian X were too early, and what changed> Day zero to day one of a robot crew arriving on site> The economics vs a traditional bricklaying gang> UK going commercial, US pilots starting this year> Why the entire facade is next. Not in a decade, within a couple of years.

Filho de argentinos, ele nasceu em Buenos Aires mas se mudou para o Rio de Janeiro ainda bebê. Aprendeu a andar de bicicleta bem cedo e nas viagens frequentes a Búzios com a família, costumava remar ou tentava velejar. Sua mãe era antropóloga, historiadora e mantinha um laboratório fotográfico em casa. Ainda criança, assistia às revelações de fotografias em preto e branco e fez suas primeiras fotos durante shows e atividades do dia a dia. Já morando em Sao Paulo, na adolescência passou a fotografar os amigos andando de skate. Sua primeira imagem publicada saiu na revista Yeah Skate. Mais tarde, ingressou no curso de Biologia da USP, mas interrompeu a graduação quando se mudou para os Estados Unidos. Durante os dois anos em que viveu por lá, adquiriu seus primeiros equipamentos profissionais, cobriu o Campeonato Mundial de Balonismo no Novo México, e começou a enviar fotografias para publicações brasileiras. De volta ao Brasil, participou da cobertura do Rock in Rio II. Uma das imagens produzidas durante o evento foi publicada na capa da revista Trip. A partir daí, passou a colaborar com diferentes veículos editoriais e direcionou seu trabalho para esportes, viagens, aventura e comportamento. Em 1995 e 1997, acompanhou uma equipe brasileira na Race Across America. Em 1998, cobriu uma das maiores corridas de aventura do mundo, o Raid Gauloises e o primeiro evento da modalidade no Brasil, a EMA. Ao longo dos anos seguintes, documentou campeonatos mundiais de triathlon, provas de corrida de aventura, mountain bike, rafting, dezenas de edições do Ironman Brasil e diversos outros eventos esportivos no Brasil e no exterior. Paralelamente ao trabalho editorial, realizou expedições próprias. Pedalou pelo Salar de Uyuni, desceu a Estrada da Morte na Bolívia, remou no Alasca, cruzou dunas do Saara em uma expedição de sandboard, participou de campanhas da Sea Shepherd na Antártida e no Canadá e realizou travessias de bicicleta e caiaque em diferentes regiões do continente americano. Ao longo de mais de três décadas de carreira, teve trabalhos publicados em jornais, revistas e livros no Brasil e no exterior. Expôs em cidades como Berlim, Innsbruck, Florença e Filadélfia. É autor dos livros Cruzando a América em Duas Rodas e Imagens de Uma Expedição, além de coautor de Graffiti Brasil.

Eitan Koter sits down with Tarkan Salar, founder of Smart Concepts and the consultancy Can't Stop Me, who has spent 30 years working with brands like Louis Vuitton, Zara and Adidas and has shaped over 50 million units from factory floor to checkout.Tarkan's take is pretty straightforward. Most D2C brands are bleeding money in the wrong places and blaming marketing for it. He breaks down why marketing is no longer the edge it used to be and what founders should be focusing on instead: product positioning, operational clarity and finding their blue ocean.They get into the 80/20 bestseller engine, how to spot your hero products, why too many SKUs is quietly killing your margins, and how to pick the right suppliers before you even think about placing an order. Tarkan also shares how he builds a custom brand filter for each founder that helps every business decision become a lot cleaner and faster.Website: https://www.vimmi.net Email us: info@vimmi.net Podcast website: https://vimmi.net/mastering-ecommerce-marketing/ Talk to us on Social:Eitan Koter's LinkedIn | Vimmi LinkedIn | YouTube Guest: Tarkan Salar, Founder, Smart concepts GmbHTarkan Salar's LinkedInTakeaways:Blue Ocean vs Red Ocean marketsProfitability and operational efficiencyProduct testing and hero productsStrategic filtering and brand positioningImpact of AI on marketing and logisticsChapters:00:00 Introduction to Tarkan Salar and Smart Concepts01:38 The Shift from Marketing to Operational Clarity06:02 Understanding Blue Ocean vs. Red Ocean Strategies09:14 The 80/20 Bestseller Engine Explained14:21 Transitioning from Red Ocean to Blue Ocean19:41 Product Innovation and Brand Voice24:08 Overview of Smart Concepts and Consulting Process

A sobering investigation of the rush for lithium for electric vehicles, the problematic history of lithium mining, and the consequences for sustainability. Consumers today are buying electric vehicles with lithium-ion batteries motivated by the belief that they are doing good and decarbonizing society. But is sustainable lithium extraction possible? In Living Minerals, Javiera Barandiarán examines the history of lithium mining and uses during the twentieth century, with a specific focus on the two oldest brine-lithium mines: Silver Peak, Nevada, and Salar de Atacama, Chile, where lithium is found as one more element in a liquid mix of salts, minerals, and organisms. For six decades, mining experts have failed to ask about water usage, about waste or brine leakage, and about the ecosystem impacts in delicate deserts. Instead, they have relied on various fictions about the size of reserves, the fate of leaked brine, or the value of waste in facilitating mine development. These fictions, rooted in brine-lithium's material qualities, could be sustained thanks to powerful mining memories that celebrated resource nationalism. Unique in its historical and multidimensional approach to minerals and mining, based on the novel Rights of Nature paradigm, and using new archival materials from both Chile and the US, the book argues that decarbonizing society requires that we reckon with these realities—or risk deepening our dependency on an unsustainable mining industry. Javiera Barandiarán is Associate Professor in the Global Studies program at the University of California, Santa Barbara.  Sandra Elizabeth is a graduate student enrolled at the Department of Sociology in Shiv Nadar University, Delhi- NCR. Her research relates to water- control projects implemented in a low- lying, deltaic region in South- West Indian state of Kerala called Kuttanad– which is dubbed as the state's rice granary.

02/08/26 Fr Salar Boudagh - 5th Sunday of Epiphany (Arabic) by St. Peter's Chaldean Catholic Diocese

Jian opens this episode of Roqe with an essay making the case for calling this uprising the Lion and Sun Revolution. He reflects on the Lion and Sun flag being raised in Richmond Hill, Canada, while making one thing unmistakably clear - symbols in the diaspora are never enough. The real revolution is being paid for in blood inside Iran. Still, when a people are fighting to reclaim identity beyond the rulers who define them, symbols matter. Jian is then joined by Salar Gholami - former Iranian national team boxer and key organizer behind the historic Iranian-Canadian demonstrations in Toronto. They discuss how these massive rallies were built, how unity was maintained, what's happening inside Iran, and what comes next as February 14th approaches.
