Why Soft Skills Matter


When discussing careers, professional growth, or the process of finding a job, people often focus mainly on "hard skills." These are abilities directly associated with carrying out specific tasks or performing a certain profession. In most cases, they can be tested or measured because they are developed through diplomas, certifications, technical courses, workshops, academic education, and professional training programs.

    In contrast, "soft skills" are not as easy to evaluate quantitatively. They are usually connected less to formal education and more to personal experience, behavior, attitude, and the way individuals interact with others. For this reason, they are frequently referred to as "people skills." They involve qualities such as the ability to communicate effectively, cooperate with others, motivate teams, or demonstrate leadership in different situations.

    Among the soft skills most valued in the workplace are creativity, teamwork, leadership, organization, adaptability, and strong written and verbal communication. These competencies contribute to the development of a more complete and versatile professional. In competitive job markets, they can even become a major advantage for candidates seeking employment opportunities. Since interpersonal interaction exists in nearly every profession, these skills are important across practically all industries. For employers and job seekers alike, these abilities are considered "transferable skills" because they can be applied successfully in different positions, companies, and professional environments. Organizations generally appreciate professionals who can adapt easily, collaborate with others, and maintain effective interpersonal relationships, making soft skills increasingly valuable in modern workplaces.

Biden administration, in its last days, proposes new protections for Arctic Alaska land


                                                           


Lakes and connecting streams in the northeastern part of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, June 2014.


Four days before President Joe Biden is set to leave office, his administration recommended that about 3 million more acres in Alaska's western Arctic be protected from development and issued a guideline, effective immediately, requiring additional protections for traditional Native subsistence harvests of fish, caribou and other resources.


The new recommendations and guidance, which apply to the 23-million-acre National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, run counter to President-elect Donald Trump's expressed plans to expand oil drilling in the Arctic and elsewhere and to overturn Biden administration environmental policies more broadly.


The recommendations for additional land to be protected as part of what are termed "special areas" and the guidance for elevating the importance of subsistence and tribal consultation could be ignored or scrapped by the incoming Trump administration.


The northeastern part of the reserve is the area considered most likely to hold oil and where development has spread in recent years. There is already production in that area, and the most notable production expected in the future is from ConocoPhillips' Willow project. Willow won Biden administration approval in 2023. Production is expected to start by the end of the decade and peak at 180,000 barrels per day; current production from all North Slope fields amounts to less than 470,000 barrels per day.


Like the existing Teshekpuk special area, which holds important habitat for caribou, fish and migratory birds, the village of Nuiqsut is in the general area of the reserve's northeastern corner, where new oil development has occurred. Nuiqsut is so close that oilfield infrastructure can be seen from the village.


                                                          


Pipelines extend across the landscape outside Nuiqsut, Alaska, May 2019.


"But at the same time, I think we and our partners have also made it abundantly clear that we're going to keep fighting, and keep fighting for protections in the Western Arctic," she said.

As 'Relative Clauses' (orações relativas) em inglês, introduzidas por pronomes como 'who', 'which', 'that', servem essencialmente para adicionar informações descritivas aos substantivos ou pronomes que modificam. A distinção entre 'defining relative clauses' e 'non-defining relative clauses', marcada pela presença ou ausência de vírgulas, é crucial por alterar o sentido da frase, pois a primeira é indispensável para identificar o referente, enquanto a segunda oferece informação adicional que pode ser omitida sem prejuízo à identificação do antecedente.

Text 7A2-I  



    If we believe that our own information age is defined by the digital structures of electronic communication, we must take early modern culture as inextricably bound to the medium of print. Printed text and image arose within a few years of each other in the mid-fifteenth century, credited to the German goldsmith Johannes Gutenberg, who seemingly drew together a series of extant yet disparate technologies into a new machine that could print several thousand sheets a day. The ancient oil or wine press, the goldsmith’s craft in fine metal carving, the late-medieval development of plentiful rag paper, and the recent formulation of more stable oil-based inks enabled Gutenberg’s ‘revolution’.


    Similarly, early photography developed from a coming together of two otherwise disparate technologies: on the one hand, the pinhole camera through which capture a refected view of the world as an image, and on the other the chemical means to fix the effects of light exposure on paper. In both cases, these technologies shared aesthetic resources with other media available at the time, while also producing forms of representation that were uniquely theirs, and which offered access to new ways of seeing, and enabled new forms of subjectivity. The greatly expanded flow of visual information facilitated by these technological breakthroughs worked to quicken the circulation of knowledge, and the foundations of thought itself.
