Colors can make us feel energetic or relaxed and also make us perceive order or disorder.

This photo is with my best friend Florencia, we were in the Unipraias park that is just to the south end of Camboriú beach and connects the Barra Sul beaches with Praia das Laranjeiras.

The viewpoint has an incredible view of all Camboriú, especially the bay and its buildings.  We went back up to the cable car and arrived at Laranjeiras, we spent the afternoon on that beach. and to return the same, we had to cross by cable car and get to Camboriú to return to our hotel and rest for the night's activities.

- What do you think of the video? Do you meditate Why? Do you feel it works? Why? It was very interesting to know all the effects that meditation has on our body, from the mind to the chromosomes.

What's been the role of climate change in the development of humans? Which early human species was thought to be the first to use tools made from stone? Homo habilis,  this species was thought to represent the first manufacturer of stone tools. Who were the first human species to travel to and live in Europe? When? Homo heidelbergensis, These were the first early humans to venture into the cold latitudes of Europe, where there is evidence that they were the first species to build shelters and hunt big game animals with wooden spears. On longer timescales, hominins experienced changes in temperature and precipitation, which, in turn, caused large changes in vegetation, were also altered by earthquakes and uprising. Tectonic activity can change the location and size of lakes and rivers. When there is a change in an animal's preferred habitat, they can move and track their favorite habitat, or adapt through a genetic change to the new habitat. Otherwise, they become extinct. ...

Gender stereotypes become hardly refutable thoughts, personally I think they are negative, they mark the roles and performance of both men and women from an early age, generating in many cases situations of inequality and discrimination, especially (in my opinion) to the weaker sex, that is, we women.  Since childhood we are conditioned to use and do "women's things" and if we do not agree or contradict these stereotypes we are frowned upon and even worse if we use or do "men's things". Despite all this, I think that every day that thought changes a little, in this generation gender stereotypes are not so present, on the contrary, we are no longer applying them.
