Esta serie de fotografías forman parte de un proyecto personal que nació, no recuerdo de qué manera, y me llevo a buscar los números del 0 al 100, iniciando hace ya creo más de un año, en el 2022 inicie sin prisa pero sin pausa la búsqueda de estos números, buscando siempre que sean diferentes y únicos, ojala te resulten interesantes.
Crunching words together to make a new coinage has been a popular pastime in the English language since the nineteenth century, producing in more recent times blends such as brunch [breakfast and lunch], bodacious [bold and audacious], bromance [bro and romance], himbo [him and bimbo], faction [fact and fiction]

On Thursday, November 13, 2014 approximately 100 executives from the British, Chilean, French, German and Irish American Business Councils gathered to Meet the CEO of BDP at The Westin Hotel. BDP is one of the largest privately held global logistics providers in the world. It is a family owned, non-asset based firm with headquarters in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Company is a recognized leader in the global shipping industry, with a total of 133 owned and joint venture offices, and an additional 195 offices in its Global Network group. These offices give BDP a presence in nearly 135 countries around the world, and employ approximately 4,000 supply chain professionals.
The honored guest, Richard J. Bolte, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BDP International spoke about BDP’s history and business practices. His formative experience at BDP centered on ocean exports and supply chain management, with particular emphasis on business operations. Mr. Bolte was Vice President of the company’s Northeast Region before taking the position of Chief Operating Officer. In 1996, he was named President of BDP International; in 2006, he became CEO following the passing of his father, BDP’s Founder and Chairman; and in 2013, he became Chairman of the Board.
During the past decade Mr. Bolte has been instrumental in the strategic development of BDP’s Global Network of wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures in the Pacific Rim, Canada, Mexico, the UK, South America, the Middle East and Europe. Under his leadership during the past five years, BDP acquired logistics firms in Germany, France, Belgium and Italy; formed a strategic partnership in Japan; a joint venture in Qatar; and opened offices in China, Dubai, Korea and The Netherlands. In 2005, BDP acquired The Elite Group, a Houston-based logistics firm specializing in the chemical industry. With a keen sense of the changing dynamics of the logistics business environment, Mr. Bolte led the establishment of an independent supply chain consulting unit. Under the name Centrx, a BDP knowledge venture, the firm brings a diverse portfolio of strategic skill-sets to meet the growing demand for Lead Logistics Provider services and other process analyses and network design expertise among multi-national enterprises.
Mr. Bolte’s personal discussion of his family’s business; his detailed explanation of the global climate and trends; and how BDP has grown and changed with the times was fascinating. BDP’s success rests on a combination of factors, and in the CEO’s own words:
First, we listen to our customers, and then go the extra distance to provide the best and most appropriate service possible. Second, we continue to invest in our company with aggressive initiatives such as the global integration of our technologies and employee training, so we’re prepared to face tomorrow’s challenges and best serve our customers worldwide. Doing what’s right today while keeping our eye on the future is what keeps BDP moving forward in a positive direction.
The evening concluded with a dynamic question and answer session led by Mr. Bolte; a business card raffle draw for various exciting prizes, and networking.

El sendero que conduce al mirador del ventisquero colgante Queulat debe ser una de las rutas más populares y conocidas de la Carretera Austral. Enclavado en el Parque Nacional Queulat, este sendero de 2500m de longitud es una opción que sin duda vale la pena conocer, ya que se encuentra muy cercano a la carretera, y da la posibilidad al visitante de observar de cerca un hermoso bosque y glaciar patagónico. Además, dado que se trata de un sendero de baja dificultad, tanto técnica como física, se trata de una excursión accesible para un público amplio de personas.
El ventisquero colgante Queulat es una gran masa glaciar, que a pesar de su fácil acceso, son pocos los exploradores que se han internado sobre sus hielos, existiendo numerosas cumbres sin ascenso a sus alrededores. Ya en 1897, Hans Steffen hace un primer reconocimiento de la zona, indicando la existencia de este glaciar. En su informe indica que el ventisquero colgante se encontraba a 200m de la costa y a tan solo 20m sobre el nivel de las altas mareas; dicho reconocimiento se entiende como el primer registro histórico de su existencia. Lamentablemente, desde entonces el retroceso de este glaciar ha sido bastante notorio, siendo cosa de años para que este hermoso ventisquero abandone su condición de “colgante”.
El Parque Nacional Queulat fue declarado como área protegida de dependencia de la Corporación Nacional Forestal (Conaf) el 13 de octubre de 1983. Cuenta con 154.093 hectáreas protegidas, siendo una de las reservas de mayor importancia de la zona. La ruta 7 –más conocida como la Carretera Austral- cruza por su interior, teniendo uno de sus tramos más bellos y escénicos en la mítica cuesta del Queulat, un increíble camino de penetración construido por el Cuerpo Militar del Trabajo (CMT) durante la década de los 80.
