And Finally!!!!!!

When this class started some 14 weeks ago, I thought definitely I got myself into one hot mess because I am one of the worst people when it comes to technology usage, I practically had to go back to the counselors to ask them if it was the appropriate elective for me and I was to say the least shocked when I was told "yes".  I seriously considered dropping the course but after the first and second assignment, I am like okay, I think I am getting somewhere here; then something else happens and I say to myself "I am done here".

But thanks to my professor, whenever I stay back after lectures to ask questions, he is ever so ready to answer them and give me guidelines - he will say to me "there must be something you are using, you have an IPhone so you can look for something to write about, then my husband was another driving force for me, severally when I am struggling with the computer, or the printer, he was always there to guide me through.  Then my daughter, several times I have had to call her in school (McDaniel College) to ask her how to navigate my way through all the set backs. 

Finally!!! it is here, fifteen weeks of learning new things, how the news media works, how photography started, how to create a blog, sitting in that class with 25 or more people who are different from me in every spectrum of life, our ideals and ways of life differs entirely but in the past fifteen weeks we have come to know each other, coexist, share ideas and knowledge, laughed at each other, listen to our different views and ideas, and even when we do not agree, we have learnt to respect each other.  That is what life is all about. 

Success is the sum total of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

My Review of the "Bible" Miniseries

Obviously not all the stories could be covered in those 10 hours, and some of them needed to be compressed. However, the Burnetts – with an impressive list of over 40 advising scholars – have been faithful to the spirit of the text and at the same time provided a television series, that is compelling, gritty at times and spiritually moving.

"The Bible" is not just for the faithful. It's meant for everyone to see: the curious, the skeptic as well as those who just want to see an entertaining adventure series.

There is a scene where Jesus and Peter are together on the boat. Peter has just landed a bountiful load of fish from waters that he deemed unfishable. He looks at Jesus and asks him: "What are we going to do?" And Jesus replies: "We're going to change the World!"

As this series aired on History Channel in March and later this year around the world, it had impact on people's lives today as well as the lives of generations to come.

This time, Hollywood got it right.

My Review of "Selma"

Though the canvas of “Selma” is markedly larger than anything DuVernay has tackled before, she makes the transition with no evident strain. Shot on location in Selma itself, the movie is beautifully staged even when the events it depicts are at their ugliest — such as the infamous “Bloody Sunday” confrontation between King’s marchers and Selma police on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, an expert action setpiece in which every thud of a nightstick lands with a sickening force. (The cinematography is by Bradford Young, one of the few cameramen who truly understands how to light black actors.)

But “Selma” is rarely more affecting than in its quiet scenes of King, alone or surrounded by a few trusted advisers, at the end of a long day in the trenches, plotting his next move. The British-born Oyelowo, who was brilliant as Forest Whitaker’s Freedom Rider-turned-Black Panther son in the best scenes of “The Butler,” is a marvelously internal actor whose piercing brown eyes, fleshy cheeks and broad forehead seem to register every thought that flashes through his mind. He’s uncanny at replicating King’s fiery public orations, but he’s even more impressive as the pensive, reflective, private King, a man haunted by what he calls “the constant closeness of death,” played with none of the self-important airs that can sometimes afflict actors cast as secular saints.
