What is agenda settings?

Visits: 124

Agenda-setting is the creation of public awareness and concern of certain issues by the news media. Agenda-setting describes the way how media attempts to influence viewers, and to establish a hierarchy of so called ”news” that are ”important”. News stories is not always something that grow on a tree which the mass media picks and serve. Often topics are created as news to serve what you should ”know, think, want, believe, feel and act upon.”

Two basic assumptions underlie most researches on agenda-setting:
– the press and the media do not reflect reality; they filter and shape it;
– media concentration on a few issues and subjects leads the public to perceive those issues as more important than other issues.

Watch Hacksaw Ridge – 2016 full movie review

Visits: 54975

The extraordinary true story of conscientious objector, Desmond T Doss, is portraited in the Hollywood movie Hacksaw Ridge. This man was a Seventh Day Adventist (SDA, Christian), who saved 75 men in Okinawa, during the one of the bloodiest battle of WWII in the Pacific – without firing a single shot.
Believing that the war was just but killing was nevertheless wrong, he was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon. As an army medic Doss single-handedly evacuated the wounded near enemy lines – braving enemy fire and putting his own life on the line. He was the first conscientious objector to ever win the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Movie director: Mel Gibson.

Review: My personal opinion is first of all that this movie has too much of Hollywood effects. The war scenes are very long, over 1/4 of the movie. Continue reading “Watch Hacksaw Ridge – 2016 full movie review”

God has a Higher plan for us

Sometimes we enter situations when we just dont understand what is the meaning of all this, or it just feels meaningless.
Bad things in the past can also make us feel and think; – What is the meaning of my life?

Most of us have once or on several occasions had this important question. What is the meaning of all this? That is a Question only God can answer!

If you read this and are in discomfort, remember to always trust our father God in Heaven with patience. He will step by step lead us to a place of peace, comfort and rest – if we let Him.
When we ask why, why, why; God will sooner or later answer “BECAUSE”.
Even if you feel like breaking up, God will NEVER make you break up totally. Even if you fall, God will NEVER let you hit the ground. He will catch you – and lift you up!
In Gods salvation process, He breaks people down, in an act of Love. And with the old pieces he makes something new and stronger, like the potter making new and stronger bowls of old burnt clay pieces.

Important we understand that He doesnt want anyone of us suffer or to perish, but that He wishes that our souls should have eternal life. We live in mortal bodies, that is a fact, that we will all die the first death with our bodies. Which makes us fragile and hopeless, unless we stretch out to God who can save our souls from the second death.
Thats our only HOPE, or we are hopeless, and how pitiful isn’t the one without any hope? Continue reading “God has a Higher plan for us”

DJI Osmo Mobile

  1. I spend a lot of time shooting videos with my DJI Osmo Mobile. It’s a video stabilizer for mobile phones. It’s called a gimbal. The first Rocky movie used a gimbal when Rocky ran up the stairs at that famous scene where he is out running and stretching his arms in the air. Moving a camera means shaky shoots if you don’t use the internal stabilization function in the camera, or a gimbal that stabilizes the camera.

My gimbal was about 300 euro. I bought an extra battery for 30 euro. Battery time is good and lasted for about two days when I took my shots.

4 days in Porto

Visits: 315

This Thursday I took the bus to Porto. It was about 2,5 hour ride from Santiago, including three stops whereas one was for 15 minutes. No toilet on the bus! Bought the ticket on Alsa.es
Both 10AM and 12AM bus was full. Before I entered the bus I meet a born again couple from Canada. We had a chat and prayed together for her injured hip. And on the bus I met Davita from Dallas, Texas. She was so fun to be with, easygoing and humble. We spent the first day together in Porto.
On Sunday I leave for Berlin and a bus tour to Herrnhut in southern Germany and later Prague.
