El Desierto de la Tatacoa, ubicado en el departamento del Huila, Colombia, es un fascinante paisaje árido que abarca más de 330 kilómetros cuadrados. Aunque se le conoce como desierto, es en realidad un bosque seco tropical con impresionantes formaciones rocosas en tonos rojos y grises. Este lugar, famoso por su belleza geológica y cielos despejados, es un paraíso para los amantes de la astronomía y la naturaleza, ofreciendo una experiencia única de desconexión y contemplación bajo un cielo estrellado.

"Life and business are like changing seasons.
I would like to share to my listeners
the most valuable lesson that I learned from Jim Rohn.
"Life and business are likechanging seasons. You cannot change
the seasons, but you can change yourself."
Learn to handle the winters. Use the summer when everyone is enjoying life to prepare for life's 
worst situations. Use spring and summer to prepare. Never be complacent.

Shipbuilding today is based on science and ships are built using computers and sophisticated tools. Shipbuilding in ancient Rome, however, was more of an art relying on estimation, inherited techniques and personal experience. The Romans were not traditionally sailors but mostly land- based people, who learned to build ships from the people that they conquered  namely the Greeks and the Egyptians.

There are a few surviving written documents that give descriptions and representations of ancient Roman ships, including the sails and rigging. Excavated vessels also provide some clues about ancient shipbuilding techniques. Studies of these have taught us that ancient Roman shipbuilders built the outer hull first, then proceeded with the frame and the rest of the ship. Planks used to bulld the outer hull were initially sewn together. Starting from the 6th century BCE, they were fixed using a method called mortise and tenon, whereby one plank locked into another without the need for stitching. Then in the first centuries of the current era, Mediterranean shipbuilders shifted to another shipbuilding method, still in use today, which consisted of building the frame first and then proceedlng with the hull and the other components of the ship. This method was more systematic and dramatically shortened ship construction t›mes. The ancient Romans built large merchant ships and warships whose size and technology  were unequalled  until the 16th century CE.
