First time taking a seminary

Hello guys!

 That is my experience. Been my first time taking a seminary in the continental hotel. It was awesome.

Before going to the seminary the teacher said that we have a seminary in the continental  hotel, the first thing that past to my mind is a seminary in the hotel continental  I didn´t believe that. When i arrived to the hotel I told one of the guy who works there and i tell them where is the classroom in the second floor to the at right side he said. I went to the room and nobody was there yet, but inside the classroom was the teachers that willl exposed there speech in class. little by little people was coming in  to the class but of course got my spot before.

LEARN ABOUT PANAMA CANAL

Built from 1881 until 1914, the Panama Canal was among the largest and most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken. Functioning as a short cut between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, it greatly reduced the travel times for ships – enabling them to avoid the lengthy, hazardous Cape Horn route around the southernmost tip of South America. For nearly a hundred years, the canal enjoyed great success, acting as a key conduit for international maritime trade. By the early 21st century, however, it was handling far more vessel traffic than had ever been envisioned by its builders. In 1934, it was estimated that the maximum capacity of the canal would be around 80 million tons per year. In 2010, the actual figure was nearly 300 million tons and growing rapidly, with over a third of shipping traffic unable to pass through because of size. Global demand necessitated a major upgrade. Plans were formulated for various improvements – including the excavation of new traffic lanes allowing more and larger ships to transit; two new locks, one each on the Atlantic and Pacific sides; the widening and deepening of existing channels; and the raising of Gatun Lake's maximum operating level. Construction was originally slated to take seven or eight years, with new locks beginning operations in late 2014, almost exactly a century after the canal first opened. In 2012, however, it was announced that the expansion project had fallen six months behind schedule, pushing the opening date back to April 2015. Further delays were reported in September 2014. In early 2016, construction is finally completed and the new gates are open for transit.* Capacity has now been doubled, allowing the canal as a whole to handle the projected rise in volume to 2025 and beyond. This mega-project eases numerous burdens on the shipping industry, as well as creating huge numbers of jobs among the Panamanian people – generating enough wealth to reduce poverty in the country by almost 30%. However, critics of the project contend that there are serious environmental issues. Map of the Panama Canal expansion project in 2016. Credit: PanCanal.com

The Importance of a Portofolio

Lecturer: Mgstr. Nereida Soo

The Importance of a Portfolio A portfolio is a living and changing collection of records that reflect your accomplishments, skills, experiences, and attributes. It highlights and showcases samples of some of your best work, along with life experiences, values and achievements. The personal information that you incorporate into your portfolio can greatly reflect on your abilities as an individual as well as become a useful tool in marketing yourself to employers, corporations, colleges and universities. A portfolio does not take the place of a resume, but it can accentuate your abilities and what you can offer in the chosen field.

Why do I need a portfolio? 

A portfolio can set you apart from other applicants, whether in a professional or academic setting. • It allows you to be more personal and creative in order to expand on and exhibit your skills, knowledge, projects and experiences. • A portfolio is a method of selfdiscovery and confidencebuilding. • It is a multi-faceted way to organize your accomplishments, goals, aspirations, and personal thought. It showcases your personality to potential employers and organizations. • It is a useful tool to include in an interview. It provides tangible proof of your skills and abilities and demonstrates to the employer that you are qualified for that specific job. • It can be helpful in applying for bonuses, scholarships, grants and negotiating promotions and raises. • A portfolio demonstrates prior work or learning experiences that can be useful for educational credit.

How do I create an ePortfolio?

Online Portfolio—Useful in an academic and professional setting; enables your credentials to be more easily accessible via the internet. This should not take the place of a hard copy portfolio, but be created in addition to one. This portfolio can be very helpful for those planning on applying for a job in the field of technology and/or graphic design. Also, an online portfolio can be useful to anyone in any given field. As the Information Age progresses, prospective employers are beginning to request online portfolios. Bear in mind that several employers may be located afar and with one click of a mouse, they can access your information more readily

As the Information Age progresses, prospective employers are beginning to request online portfolios. Bear in mind that several employers may be located afar and with one click of a mouse, they can access your information more readily.

What should my portfolio include?
A Good portfolio would probably have most of the following

- An index of the contents
- Your CV including your interests and any evidence of project management skills.
- Your CV should give the impression that you think like a designer.
-Perphaps a profile or personal statement.
-Your key achievements and skills
- Examples of your work of course with good documentation. Place the best and most relevant work first and start and finish with strong pieces of work.
- Include a variaty of examples of work you have done.
Your main example needs to reflect your strenghts and your creative approach and flair.
-Items that show our thought process and development of ideas are valuable: seuqence of photos for example.
- Production portfolios can also include budget sheets, idea pitches and marketing materials.

IMPORTANT: Always be as specific as possible. Your portfolio can become quite a large collection of materials. For interview purposes, it would be a wise strategy to select items from your portfolio to be included in a smaller interview portfolio. The smaller portfolio can be presented during the interview and would be less overwhelming to the interviewer.

Giraffes are Tall with necks so long

Elephants are big and strong 

Zebras have strips and can gallop away

While the monkey is in the Trees does sway 

Old Crocodile swims in the pool so deep

Our Lies in the sun and goes to sleeps.
