Wikipedia Trail: From Selena to BTS

I started off with Selena because when I was on google earlier I saw she was the google doodle today and I also saw it on the class twitter stream. Although I don't listen to tejano music and don't know any of her songs I thought I should still do this trail starting with her. Mostly because I think she's an inspiration for anyone who wants to be a musician in a genre of music isn't as popular in mainstream US music. She was one of the most influential Latin artists of all time, and I think that's because of the achievements in music that she reached.

Selena's article sent me to the article for the Billboard music awards. I wanted to go this one because because the album it was referring to allowed her to tour in the US, and I was curious to see if she won the awards it was mentioning.

The Billboard music awards led me to the 2017 Billboard music awards page. And if i'm being completely honest its because at this point I realized where I could, and wanted, to end up.

The 2017 Billboard music awards page led me to the BTS, group that won top social artist, Wikipedia page. I chose this page not only because I love BTS and K Pop, but also because it kind of ties in well with the beginning of my search (Selena). BTS is the first K Pop group to win a billboard music award, and recently became the first K Pop artist to have an album make it in the top ten of Billboard Top 200. Both Latin and K Pop are genres that are big in the US, but they're not something you would hear everyday on the radio. Selena and BTS are both artists who in their genres have managed to break through and catch that kind of attention.

Week 14 Story: The Unknown Brother

One day Narada had a mango and he decided to go and offer it to one of Shiva’s sons. As he was making the climb up Mount Kailasa Narada wondered which of Shiva’s sons he should give the mango to. Unable to decide, Narada came up with an idea to decide who to give the mango to. Narada finally made it to the top and sitting there were the people he had come looking for. Shiva smiled and said, “What brings you here to today, Narada?” Narada smiled at Shiva and Parvati and then turned towards their sons and said, “I came to give this mango to one of your sons. I have also made a competition to decide who gets the mango. The person who can go around the world three times before the other gets the mango.” And with that statement Kartikeya jumped onto his peacock and immediately went off. As he was going around the world Ganesha just sat there and happily watched his brother going around the world. As they sat there Parvati and Narada were wondering why Ganesha did not get up...

Tech Tip: Canvas Notifications

I like how the notifications on Canvas are set up so you whether you want to be notified right away, receive a weekly summary, receive a monthly summary, or receive nothing at all.This way you can choose any of the options for all the notification types this helps me avoid getting annoying messages every five seconds. I also like the option where you can get emails, and if you have the app you also get notified on your phone. I have set up my notifications on canvas so that I can be alerted when an assignment has been added to canvas, when there is an announcement, when an assignment has been graded, and when a new file has been added.
