Science quote of the day:
"The four stages of acceptance:
1. This is worthless nonsense.
2. This is an interesting, but perverse, point of view.
3. This is true, but quite unimportant.
4. I always said so."
~ J.B.S. Haldane
Ecology: Snake Release and Tree Planting on an Ecological Day
Original post by 
A good way to enjoy work and not fall into routines is to do activities that make a difference, an outdoor day, relating to their living beings, teaching children to get to know nature.
This phrase was used by a friend when I was a 10-year-old boy when I went to visit Dinira National Park, and it marked the future of each of the activities I was going to do. It was one of the occasions when someone (like Morpheus) offered me a choice and without hesitation I chose the red pill for a new future. Several years later we agreed on these activities.
History: The People of the Sun - The Aztecs
@wdoutjahYesterday, we have talked about the different ancient gods and goddesses of war. Some says that most of the success of the past civilizations are credited to these gods or war generals. Of all the names mentioned, it was the Aztec god Huitzilopochtli who really caught my attention.
I spent some time reading ebooks about the Aztecs and this is what I've found out.
Many books have been written about the Aztec Civilization; one of the most important civilization of Mesoamerica; about their art, their customs, traditions, their rise and fall, and the chronicles of their conquest by the Spaniard Conquistadores.
Little has been said about their beliefs, their school system, and how they perceived the world around them.
