The importance of doing what you love

When I was growing up, all I wanted to be was an artist. When I got to high school and could choose what classes to take, I took every art class that was available. Painting, drawing, photography, you name it - l took the class.

Then I took a chemistry class. I LOVED it. It was fun! And I was good at it. I started thinking: wouldn't I make more money if I went into the sciences instead of being a starving artist?

So I threw away the art school applications and went to study chemistry. College was fun, and when I graduated with my chemistry degree, I went to graduate school in Washington, D. C. to do a PhD program in chemistry! It was OK to start with, but after the first year, I was completely depressed. I hated the program. It was dry and boring. But I didn't know what to do about it.

So I quit. I spent the next month feeling bad about my failure, unsure what to do next. Finally, I went to an employment agency to get a job. Something - anything - that would pay money.

I got a temporary job filling envelopes at an NGO. One day they needed some graphic design and I volunteered. This was the major turning point in my career. Over the next few months, they gave me more and more design work. What began as a temporary job turned into a permanent job. I was finally doing something I loved, and I was making money doing it. It's been difficult at times, but I really love my job. Believe me, it is FAR more important that you are happy and get to do what you are passionate about every day and get paid less for it, than to dread getting up in the morning because you dislike what you do.

NGO = non-governmental organization

National Solid Waste Policy and its emerging challenges in Brazil

    The National Solid Waste Policy was approved in 2010 after almost 20 years of discussion in the National Congress. Its main goal is to decrease the total volume of waste produced nationally and increase the sustainability of solid waste management throughout the country. In order to do so, the policy establishes important instruments to deal with economic, social and environmental issues related to inappropriate waste management. The policy also promotes sustainable consumption patterns, as well as a more intense and efficient use of measures, such as recapturing, recycling, reusing and proper waste disposal systems.

    Although it is considered a groundbreaking policy, there are many concerns regarding its implementation due to the fact that it calls on states, regions and municipalities to expand local plans so that the policy can have full effect. In this sense, broad and integrated participation is demanded, not only from the government, but also from companies and consumers.

Advanced Merging in GIT

    Merging in Git is typically fairly easy. Since Git makes it easy to merge another branch multiple times, it means that you can have a very long lived branch but you can keep it up to date as you go, solving small conflicts often, rather than being surprised by one enormous conflict at the end of the series. 

     However, sometimes tricky conflicts do occur. Unlike some other version control systems, Git does not try to be overly clever about merge conflict resolution. Git’s philosophy is to be smart about determining when a merge resolution is unambiguous, but if there is a conflict, it does not try to be clever about automatically resolving it. Therefore, if you wait too long to merge two branches that diverge quickly, you can run into some issues.

Why I Became an English Teacher


More than one person has told me that becoming an English teacher was a bad career choice. There are too many English teachers looking for work today, they explained. However, my decision to become an English teacher was not based on the job market, but on where I think I best fit in the grand scheme of things. If language is at the heart of everything we do, then I want to be in the middle of the action, helping others learn to use language well.


That brings me to a series of current events in which language has played an extremely important part: The Presidential campaign of 2012. It is at times like these, when we are bombarded with information, that we need our language skills to be first class. We not only need to understand what the candidates are saying, but we need to evaluate each statement’s veracity. We need to analyze and evaluate the information using strategic and extended thinking; this leads to creating a point of view on a topic. My goal as a teacher is to ensure my students have the skills they’ll need to make informed and logical decisions that benefit themselves and their community.

If language is at the heart of everything we do, then I want to be in the middle of the action, helping others learn to use language well.


That brings me to a series of current events in which language has played an extremely important part: The Presidential campaign of 2012. It is at times like these, when we are bombarded with information, that we need our language skills to be first class. We not only need to understand what the candidates are saying, but we need to evaluate each statement’s veracity. We need to analyze and evaluate the information using strategic and extended thinking; this leads to creating a point of view on a topic. My goal as a teacher is to ensure my students have the skills they’ll need to make informed and logical decisions that benefit themselves and their community.

Want to travel? Be careful! Two countries with high risks for tourists


Chad: This African country has had some bad incidents with its political temperatures from its past. It has a high insecurity classification. It also has a high prevalence of armed bandits and groups; in fact its armed forces have to control the nation. Because of this, it is probable that travelers will encounter armed vehicles, attack helicopters and armed forces. The capital, Kinshasa, is particularly notorious for its crime at any time of the day. If you are in the country, don’t take photographs, don’t trust anyone who offers assistance, and don’t go to areas that the natives classify as high risk.


Bangladesh: In south-east Asia, Bangladesh experiences regular terrorist attacks. In addition to this, extreme weather conditions put this nation as having a high risk of natural calamities such as earth tremors, flooding and cyclones. In contrast, the Bangladeshi people are very friendly and hospitable. Even though this is the case, be careful because incidences can happen.
