There are different types of skills used when
approaching reading material. This technique is used
when a person wants to find a specific item such as a
telephone number, a date, a time, and so on. For

schedules, or they look for a page in a telephone book.

eyes up and down a page. After locating the piece of
information that the person desires, he / she may then

Read Kate's blog:
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.

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

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.

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.
