Main Cast
Yoon Shi-yoon as Yoo Hyun-jae
Lee Se-young as Choi Woo-seung
Kim Min-jae as Lee Ji-hoon
Cha Tae-hyun as Lee Gwang-jae
I started watching the first episode without reading the synopsis so I was surprised that this was a time traveling series. The first part was very interesting – Hyun Jae from 1993 time travels to 2017 and he finds out he disappeared in 1994. He tries to find Lee Gwang Jae and when he does, he realizes the one of the kids who rescued him as actually his son. The rest of the series shows his bond with Gwang jae and his family, old time girlfriend Bo Hee, new romance with Woo seung and finding out what actually happened to him.
I had a great time watching the show (took me less than a week to consume all 32 episodes!!). I think it took too long to set up the show – Hyun Jae spent so many episodes doing nothing and just waiting at the rooftop – It was only when he decided to take action that things started moving along. And halfway through the show I realized that the whole time travel and his mysterious disappearance wasn't the key point of the show, it was more on making new friends and changing from an arrogant and selfish popstar to a sweet and thoughtful friend, father, boyfriend – hence the slow pacing at the didn't matter as much anymore. Plus, i had a great time watching Hyun Jae's 90s fashion style and being so shocked at all the amazing gadgets.
Lots of romance did took centerstage in the middle of the series, which i didn't mind because he was so sweet and had great chemistry with Woo seung. I like that they started out bickering and fighting but then later falling in love and supporting each other. I loved how Hyun Jae was attentive and just knew what to give and do with Woo Seung – and i think that is why he got the girl over Jihoon. I dont think that the only reason that Woo Seung didn't return Jihoon's love is that she doesn't want to lose his friendship, i think she really doesn't thing of him as a man. Besides, even if Jihoon and Wooseung had been childhood friends, he didn't seem to understand Woo seung as much as Hyun Jae did.
As for Hyun Jae and Ji hoon's relationship, it was strange that they became father-son-friends and I could underestand why Jihoon was angry at him at first. He didn't know he was his dad, he just saw him as the guy that is stealing his love from him. They eventually made up and while they're not in the real father-son relationship like Jihoon and Gwang Jae has, it was good enough that became mentor-mentee. and it's nice to see Jihoon having 2 dads that he can depend on.
Gwang Jae and Hyun Jae – i loved this team – i wish they had more interactions and more fun scenes. Gwang Jae seems so serious and carried the entire family's weight on his shoulders. I'm glad they made up too and i loved the ending when they said to grow old together (though of course Gwang Jae will die earlier since Hyun Jae's body is still 20 years younger than Gwang Jae).
Something i wished had a better resolution was Young Jae and Hyun Jae's friendship. They were a team even for a short while. Even though Young Jae did take advantage of Hyun Jae by using his songs, he did think Hyun Jae was dead anyways. It wasn't enough that young Jae could just pay him and Hyun Jae continually talk down on him and do anything he wants, I wished Hyun Jae sincerely apologized for treating Young Jae like crap when they were younger. They had a short talk where Young Jae even cried that he was never taken seriously and he was betrayed when Hyun Jae just upped and left him with all their money, but it helped more that the scene wasn't taken seriously. Hyun Jae just said, really, didn't realize that, I'm sorry then that was it. While eventually Young Jae was nicer to them, they could have collaborated and Hyun Jae helping him in some of his songs.
I really felt the whole Bo Hee and Hyun Jae loveline was strange – and i guess it's because we met Hyun Jae in 1993 when he barely knew Bo Hee so it didn't made sense that they were secretly dating and even had a son. So when exactly did they start to date?? and technically he left her and their son when he knew he was dying – and now that Hyun Jae knew what really happened, i wished they could have had a better talk. Was it wise to really not tell Bo Hee that he was the real Hyun Jae and just let her think he just looked like him? at least she would have known that Hyun Jae loved her and it wasn't a waste to wait for him. Though I think it wouldn't have mattered because by then she already loves Gwang jae and i am sure Bo Hee can answer all of the outstanding questions like how they started dating, im guess she never knew he was sick, even though we saw the 1994 Hyun Jae was so sickly (more on him below). I also liked the relationship between Gwang Jae and Bo Hee, it may not be passionate, but this is a relationship that you know will last a long time.
Grandpa and Malsook were a sweet addition to the family. I loved their cute scenes together. Malsook was so cute – even though it was weird that she had a boyfriend and was thinking of love at such a young age. i thought 1993 Grandpa was a jerk but he has since mellowed down. I felt so sad seeing him when he got lost and he hallucinated and talked to his daughter and Gwang Jae finding him in the police station. and I love Grandpa's fighting spirit! i believe that he can overcome his illness!
and speaking of illness — probably the most WTF moment in the show is finding out what happened to Hyun Jae. i will say it again. WTF. that storyline came out of nowhere and didn't really make a lot of sense. there are a lot of unexplained timeline and it's mostly because the whole trying to find answers started too late in the series (probably almost episode 24 or 25). So arrogant Hyun Jae left the agency, took everything and went away. we still dont know what happened for almost a year. then we find out he was actually sick.. so does that mean he knew he was sick so he left with the money for treatment? or did he leave because he was arrogant then later on found out he was sick and undergone treatment? and i still dont understand how the 1993 Hyun Jae can go to 2017 and "split" his body and meet the 1994 Hyun Jae? that also didn't make sense. like he became two persons – in one of the episodes, Gwang Jae said to Hyun Jae (or was it the other way hearound) that he had to go back or else the future will be changed. so did go back and didn't change anything (mostly because 1994 HJ didn't want to) but then how can 1993/2017 HJ came back alive – so i guess that really meant that he became two persons. And his 1994 disappeared, looks like it'was because 2017 HJ took 94 HJ to the rooftop and 94 HJ never showed up anymore – he either dead or lived a private life. It was surreal seeing 2017 and 1994 HJ talking to each other. and kudos to Yoon Shi Yoon -such a great actor – i was amazed that he can play 1 character but totally different from each other – it was like watching two different actors.
Finally, another lost opportunity is MJ. at first i thought he was a jerk, but he turned out to be a really nice guy. I'm happy he had the courage to tell everyone that he didn't write the songs. But then nothing happend to him in the end. he moved to World Entertainment but was just taking a break. i was hoping by the end of the show he would have written a song and released it and redeem himself but all he did was wait for Hyun Jae. also, i thought Hyun Jae and MJ were so similar to each other – i was even hoping that he was his actual son, not Jihoon.
Well, we eventually found out that Jihoon was as talented as his father – and i would have loved to see him on stage with MC Drill – they only showed the two heading to the crowd and not the performance. and what's up with Hyeri? i also thought Jihoon and Hyeri would get together in the end but that didn't happen too.
As for Woo seung, i loved that she had her own romance (after her pathetic ex boyfriend). I thought she was just so so during the first part and it was a bit unbelievable why 3 hot guys would like her – she wasn't that great, very clumsy, always needed help, etc. but the actress was super pretty and sincere and that is why the guys probably fell for her. Honestly, i was ok if Hyun Jae died in the show and Woo Seung and MJ got together in the end. I thought the two were also cute. and i love how the 4 of them ended up being really good friends.
But of course, i would prefer alive Hyun Jae than dead Hyun Jae. I think he was the best part of the show. I loved how his character really changed and became mature. and I was so happy that he eventually found the family that he so longed for. and the intro was right – he was like a man from the future – he was ahead of his time and probably that's why he was so at ease with living in the 21st century. He adapted to his surroundings, was very smart and thoughtful. However what i wished we had more of? it looked like Jay 2 only had 1 hit song (Tell Me), they won their first Golden Cup and he disappeared yet he was remembered by everyone 20 years from now. they should have made me super popular to be more believable. And i wished they could have shown more (rather than tell) how musically good he was! We only got to see him write/produce a few songs – i wish they had more and i wished that he got credited for MJ's songs. Young Jae could have said it was Hyun Jae's unreleased songs and gave him the proper farewell and credit for his fans's sake (since everyone else thinks he died).
And Hyun Jae's so hot .. whether he was the 1993 version or the 2017 version.
I admit, the show had a few flaws but overall, i loved it! i wish there is a season 2 because i'm not yet ready to say goodbye to the whole gang! Dabong!!!!
So cute that they actually showed the music video for Tell Me.
And they even performed it in Music Bank. lol.

Last day of the full moon woke up to beautiful light on the hills! and a burning question in my mind . .
If the moon travels at 3,683 k per hour, the sun at 67,000 miles per hour and earth at 70,000 miles per hour . .

Should there be 5 Best Animated Film nominees?
A few days ago, the intrepid Pete Hammond reported on his Notes on A Season blog that there will be at least 16 eligible movies for this season's Best Animated Film Oscar, which means (according to Academy bylaws) that there may now be five nominees in that category as opposed to the usual three. (In the short history of the category, that's happened once before, in 2002.) It's not mandatory; it's just a possibility now. But I'm not sure the animation branch should take the bait. Certainly the voters could come up with a fine list of five: let's say Up, Ponyo, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Monsters Vs. Aliens, and 9. But should they? If 5 of the 16 eligible films end up with a Best Animated Film nomination, that would be a 31 percent success rate. Compare that to last year's Best Picture race, where 5 of the 281 eligible films were nominated. That's less than 2 percent.
I admit I'm no animation expert, so I ask you, OscarWatchers: Are animated films so much tougher to make that they should have such a greater shot at scoring an Oscar nod? Or should the animation branch exercise restraint and only nominate three films (which would be 19 percent, by the way)? Either way, what would your dream list of nominees look like?

This article on Tell Me Why Chapter 1 uses trans* which is an umbrella term to include not just transgender and transexual people but also people who are agender, gender non-conforming, gender-fluid, etc.
From the developer of the award-winning game Life Is Strange, DONTNOD Entertainment has developed another narrative adventure game but this time focuses on two reunited twins, one of which is transgender. Published by Xbox Games Studios, Tell Me Why Chapter 1 follows Tyler and Alyson Ronan as they use their twin telepathic bond to unravel a traumatic childhood event that changed their lives forever.
Set in the 2000s, Alyson, a cisgender woman, and Tyler, a transgender man, were brought up in Delos Crossing, a small town in Alaska. They grew up poor with a temperamental mother, but life seemed to be good. However, when Tyler cuts his hair short in an attempt to look more like himself in a world that only saw him as a girl, he gets into an altercation with his mother and, in self-defense, kills her. Ten years later, Tyler is out of juvie and reunites with his sister. They both go back to their old childhood home to get it ready to be sold. However, visiting their old stomping grounds has consequences. The twins rediscover their whimsical childhood memories in which they created a fantasy world, "The Book of Goblins," but also must challenge the morose memories that put Tyler in juvie. As they conjure up memories of their past with the use of their supernatural bond and explore the objects left behind by their mother, they realize that the events of their childhood aren't as clear cut as they once thought.
As the twins begin to dig into their past, they use their connection to uncover the truth behind what happened so many years ago. Tyler and Alyson literally relive their memories right before their eyes. By doing so, they also find out first-hand how erroneous memory can be, often finding two different versions of their memories. Players will play as both Alyson and Tyler and be tasked with choosing between conflicting memories, making tough choices, solving puzzles that deepen the story, and ultimately influencing the relationship between Alyson and Tyler.
Although Alyson's and Tyler's relationship from the start is a bit awkward, it's a loving and fun one. The dialogue between the two reminds me of my own siblings, full of snark and nerdy references. The love between the two is obvious, but players will ultimately have a hand in how this relationship grows and develops through the game. No pressure.
Players will get to explore beautiful Alaska and the various structures that make up the twins' childhood, from their childhood home to the police station where Alyson and Tyler were questioned after their mother's death. The creators brought Delos Crossing to life with the use of designs from Alaskan Native communities, such as the Tlingit, by commissioning artisans and designers from these communities. There is a plethora of characters and objects to interact with to further expand on the twins' childhood. Players will need to remember specific information when talking to other characters, often to convince them to open up and further expand on what happened that fateful night.
Overall, the mechanics are simplistic. If you've played Life Is Strange, you'll understand how this game works. The one hang-up I encountered was that sometimes it was difficult to interact with objects or people because you had to line your character up just right. At other times, memory sequences were interrupted by another character physically pushing you away from the scene. These didn't happen often but it was annoying enough when they did.
A mechanic I always enjoy when added to narrative games with poignant decisions is when the game shows you other players' choices. At the end of Chapter 1, you'll get to see the percentage of people who chose each option and what the results of your decision meant. It's not just an interesting addition but also reveals how the majority of people reacted to these hard choices.
The characters of Tell Me Why Chapter 1 are the real reason why everyone should play this game. They're diverse, true-to-life, and realistic. Characters are multi-faceted and far from perfect, much like our world. Tyler doesn't exist in a world that is flawless; there are plenty of people in his life that both accept him and don't for his transgender identity. There are also people who just don't understand how to talk to or relate to Tyler, something many trans* people will likely connect with. Alyson is in a precarious situation as well. Although she fully supports Tyler and his transition, she also has relationships with people that have wronged Tyler. Each person you can interact with has a purpose, a developed personality, and a preconceived background, and no relationship is ever black and white.
Many of the situations Tyler experiences and the conversations he gets into surrounding his transgender identity in Tell Me Why Chapter 1 should hit home for many trans* folks. The situations in this game are very real and are going to hit hard for some people. Tyler is a deep character and is defined by many other things besides his transgender identity, as any transgender person should be. But it's still an important aspect of his life and the creators have effortlessly portrayed the transgender experience through Tyler.
One small incongruency I saw with Tyler's behavior as a transgender man is the way he looks back on his childhood with fondness. Now, this isn't the case for all transgender people, but many transgender folks I know, myself included, often distance themselves from past pictures and memories of themselves because either they didn't pass, were closeted, or just didn't realize they were transgender at the time. Once again, not everyone under the trans umbrella does this, but it was a bit odd that Tyler didn't experience a few disquieted moments beyond the actual violence he experienced as a child. Transgender people not only fight bigoted people for acceptance but also themselves and part of that often results in shunning your past. I think it would have expanded Tyler's character even more to see some moments like this, but even without, Tyler is a wonderful character.
Overall, the way the game broaches mature themes and difficult choices feels natural and true-to-life. This is only made possible by the characters themselves who are realistic, deep, and imperfect, especially Tyler. This is probably one of the first main-stream games that has a main transgender character that, in my opinion, feels like they were made by trans people for trans people. And that's a huge step in the right direction.
Tell Me Why Chapter 1 is available now on Xbox One and PC.

Best Climbing Gyms in Denver 2023November 11, 2022 2022-11-11 16:39
Best Climbing Gyms in Denver 2023
Best Climbing Gyms in Denver 2023
Whether you're looking to try out a new hobby or you're an avid climber in Denver for the first time, or perhaps you're searching for a new way to get fit in your hometown – we're going to cover the
best climbing gyms in
Denver, Colorado, to ensure that you know the best spots to check out. Including real outdoor rock climbing with Denver Climbing Company.
It should come as no surprise that there are a ton of indoor climbing gyms in Denver: Colorado is the most active state in the nation, with rock climbing being voted as the most popular sport, but as you may know – it's not always the sunniest, which is what drives the need for indoor rock climbing gyms.
For the last 11 years, Denver Bouldering Club has been the city's favorite place to climb. Taking up two locations – south and central downtown Denver – to fulfil all your climbing needs. The gym offers a premium climbing experience, with over 13,000 square feet of bouldering space, home to a community of climbing enthusiasts and friendly faces. The positive reviews on their website cite benefits like 'the friendliest vibes' and 'incredible training opportunities' to excite even the newest of climbers into the world of indoor climbing.
DBC is open 24/7 for members and prides itself on inclusivity for all – a pretty good combination if you ask us. They reset their routes weekly, and have the highest turnover rate of climbers. It's why DBC is always ranked top for the best climbing gyms in Dever, Colorado.
This list wouldn't be complete without mentioning Movement Englewood, formerly known as Earth Treks. As the newest and largest rock climbing gym in the Denver area, Earth Treks is home to 53,000 square feet of climbing space bliss. One of the biggest appeals to Movement is the alternate services it offers, including yoga, strength training and high intensity cardio classes; because to be a successful climber, you have to cross-train! The massive space may intimidate you if you're new to climbing, but worry not – this gym is a safe haven for newbies and climbing junkies alike.
This gym boats two locations – Baker and RiNo – with all-access included in your membership for those climbers looking for flexibility. As of November last year, Movement is now owned by El Cap, the parent company of Earth Treks. This is great news for all climbers in Denver, because if you're a member at either gym, you can now visit all five locations under your one membership.
If you're a frequent traveller this is particularly appealing because your membership to this gym now allows you to access El Cap's other facilities in the nation, including Baltimore, DC, California and Oregon. What's not to love?
Mountain Strong is a unique climbing gym because it combines rock climbing with the ever-popular Crossfit. Although it's not a traditional style climbing gym, they offer great training options for climbers. According to their website, Mountain Strong prides itself on intense training, the therapeutic benefit of hard work and boosting your physical performance.
The gym offers training camps, mobility/recovery sessions, personal training, CrossFit and of course – climbing. The training camps are one of their biggest appeals, claiming to help you climb harder and ski faster in just six weeks. This unique sport specific training camp is certainly attractive to advanced climbers and athletes who want to reach new heights (literally).
With two Denver locations, this gym with the funky name is family focused, friendly and fun. The gym is a great choice for beginners who want to gain a foundational level of rock climbing, learning the fundamentals and key skills needed to excel as a climber. Rock'n & Jam'n encourages climbers of all ages to try climbing at their facility, and have created routes specifically for children – fun for all the family!
One of the first climbing gyms in Colorado, The Spot has two locations in Boulder and Denver's Golden Triangle. Ranking number two on Yelp, this gym is a fan favorite. The new Denver location is fairly quiet, which makes it an appealing option for more advanced climbers who may enjoy the quiet space to climb away. Plus there's a DJ and they serve beer, really make it the spot to be.
Contributing to the thriving fitness vibes at Stanley Marketplace, this gym offers 16,000 square feet of climbing, featuring a 15 foot tall boulder wall and plenty of classes to cross-train. They offer adult climbing leagues, training clubs, climbing instruction classes, group events, birthday parties and more; making it a great option if you're looking to get involved in a community of like-minded climbers. They also have a climbing gym in Castle Rock.
Even though it's not an indoor climbing gym, Denver Climbing Company is a great option if you want to take your rock climbing to the best venue – outside. This outdoor rock climbing guiding service teaches participants about the fundamentals of climbing, and puts them into practice. It's led by professional guides who have years of rock climbing experience, and you can join groups for beginners or advanced.
Not only are you gaining real outdoor climbing experience, you're also meeting a community of climbing enthusiasts who you can build relationships with for social connectedness, fitness and fun. This is what underpins the climbing lifestyle, so if you've only stuck to indoor climbing gyms in Denver, it's time you take it to nature! All equipment is included with every session.

twenty one pilots, Halsey might be collaborating on a track
Twenty one pilots are possibly gearing up to drop a collab with one of our favorite pop queens ever — Halsey.
The speculation comes because a new song was added to the band's discography on BMI repertoire, a music royalty and licensing site.

The website is responsible for bringing fans song titles "Jumpsuit" and "Nico And The Niners" long before they dropped.The new song is called "Emotional Arsonist" and the songwriting credit shows Halsey. This means she could be featured on the song. There is also a third person listed in the songwriting credit. You can see the post below.
This is definitely no solid proof, but we can only hope it means a collab track is coming sooner than later.

twenty one pilots may still be touring in support of last year's smash-hit record Trench, but their prior releases are still getting love years after release.
The duo's third studio album, Vessel, must still be on repeat for fans over six years later, now reaching a rare RIAA milestone.
Recently the final track of Vessel, "Truce," was Gold certified. With that honor, the album's entirety has been dubbed Gold or Platinum.
This was all part of the plan for fans, who schemed to push the two into the record books back in February.
A group of Redditors started the Fake You Out Project a few months back to urge others into promoting the song.
If we get Fake You Out enough streams we can make it Gold certified and make Twenty One Pilots the first band in history with two albums every single song gold certified! LETS GO!!! from r/twentyonepilots
The project was obviously a success. Not only is this a tremendous honor for the duo, but it's also a record-breaking one.
Along with every track from 2015's Blurryface, Vessel's certification makes twenty one pilots the first group or artist to have every song from two separate albums certified gold or silver.
Blurryface had already set records of its own after its release, becoming the first album from this era to have every track go gold or platinum.

As for Halsey, she recently just clapped back after someone accused her of using the LGBTQ community as a marketing strategy.
The openly bisexual artist recently posted photos on social media from a show in Brazil. In some, she's shown holding a Pride flag.
She captioned the photo set "peak bi gurl evolution."
View this post on Instagram
In the comments, someone decided to write "rainbow is the new marketing strategy". Halsey wasn't going to let it slide without responding.
"There's been a flag in my show for 5 years. You're just not paying attention you whiny little baby," she said.
Many fans in the comments defended the singer, who is very outspoken about her love for the LGBTQ community.

Last month, she performed in Camden and gave an empowering speech about LGBTQ Pride and bigotry.
For background, at the time, two women were recently beatenin a homophobic attack on a London bus that garnered a lot of attention online.
Also, because it was Pride month, and some people in Boston are pushing for a "straight pride" parade, causing major outcry.At the show in the city, Halsey wore a shirt with the two women's faces on it. It also read "Fuck your straight pride" on the back.
She then gave a passionate speech, slamming straight pride and homophobia.
"After the Pride parades are over and after the bars close their Pride nights and the glitter is being swept out of the streets, a lot of people get on those trains and they get on those buses and try to wash the rainbows off their bodies and they're peeling the stickers off their close because when Pride is over, it's not safe to be gay anymore because they're worried that someone is going to viciously assault them or viciously attack them. So when the people around the world ask the question, "Why isn't there a straight pride parade? The answer because if there was one, you wouldn't have to get on the bus and be terrified of being fucking beaten or killed afterwards. That's why there's not a straight pride parade because every fucking day on public transport is a straight pride parade."
She then led the room in a powerful chant of "I will not be afraid."
Are you excited for this possible collab between twenty one pilots and Halsey? Sound off in the comments down below!

5 things you might not know about St. Patrick's Day
March 17 is St. Patrick's Day, an Irish event that has become a multi-country celebration. In honor of that tradition, here are five things you might not know about St. Patrick's Day.
The Ancient Order of Hibernians and the Downtown Great Falls Association put on the Great Falls St. Patrick's Day Parade each year. The 2018 parade runs down Central Avenue starting at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 17, and features floats and marchers from organizations throughout the city. Local businessman Mike Walsh is this year's grand marshal, and if you were born or married on St. Patrick's Day, there is a special place in the parade for you to march.
The National Retail Federation says Americans will spend a record $5.9 billion to celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year, up from $5.3 billion last year and the highest level in the survey's 14-year history.
In 1995, a Supreme Court decision unanimously ruled that gay groups could be banned from marching in St. Patrick's Day Parades. According to the New York Times, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) groups were not allowed to openly march under their own banner in the famous New York City parade until the ban was lifted in 2014.
Butte has deep Irish roots. The New York Times reported that at the dawn of the 20th century, the city had a higher percentage of Irish than any other in America, including Boston. According to the Montana Standard, the first St. Patrick's Day Parade in Butte took place in 1882, making it the 19th oldest in the country. Butte is famous (or infamous) for having a wild and crazy bash on St. Patrick's Day and has become a destination for revelers each year.
Several cities dye their rivers or fountains green in honor of St. Patrick's Day each year. Chicago's tradition of dyeing the Chicago River green started in 1962, according to history.com. City pollution-control workers used dyes to trace illegal sewage discharges and realized they could do the same thing to celebrate the holiday in a big way. The first time, they used 100 pounds of green vegetable dye and the river was green for a week. Today, 40 pounds of dye make the water festive for only a few hours.

Peace Lutheran Church, Las Cruces, NM
Fifth Sunday of Easter
This past week, we welcomed our second group of refugees: 12 families from Central America who made the long journey to seek asylum in the US. Some of them traveled for up to a month or more, some with very young children, just to get here. We have been getting a little better and more organized about welcoming them each time we've done it. And the volunteers we've had helping out have just been awesome. If you've helped out with this group or the previous group or have donated anything, please raise your hands. Thank you all for what you've been doing. Even the littlest things can make a huge difference. Continue reading "Sermon: Roots and Fruits"

The Tennessee Titans defeated the Green Bay Packers, 27-17. The Packers fell to 4-7, while the Titans improved to 7-3.
The Titans were the first on the scoreboard on an 83-yard drive that ended with a Dontrell Hilliard touchdown reception from Ryan Tannehill. The Packers got their first points on a touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to Christian Watson. The extra point was blocked, leaving things at 7-6.
A Derrick Henry rushing touchdown right before halftime gave the Titans a 14-6 lead. Henry not only made an impact on the ground, but he also showed off his quarterback skills, throwing a touchdown pass to Austin Hooper.
The Packers came within three thanks to another Watson touchdown and a successful two-point conversion. Not long after, the Titans responded with Hooper's second touchdown of the night, this time on a toss from Tannehill.
The Titans sealed the win with a defensive stop on fourth-and-short, giving them the ball back with just over two minutes remaining in the game. They ran one play before the two minute warning, a 51-yard pass to Treylon Burks that put the finishing touches on an impressive victory.
Tannehill has now won his last five starts, and the Titans have won seven of their last eight games.
Why the Titans won
The Titans were dominant throughout most of the game and did not trail once in the "Thursday Night Football" matchup. They bested the Packers in terms of total first downs, total yards, passing yards, rushing yards, yards per play and time of possession. When you come out on top in so many categories offensively, typically that means you get the win as well.
Quarterback Ryan Tannehill played a great game, going 22-of-27 with 333 yards and two touchdowns. He did have one interception, but it was not a game changer.
Derrick Henry was the other star of the game, totaling 87 yards on 28 carries with one rushing touchdown and one passing touchdown (more on that in the "Play of the Game" section). This creative offense threw the Packers defense off.
Rookie Treylon Burks led the team in receiving with 111 yards on seven catches, including a 51-yarder to officially seal the victory. Robert Woods was also efficient through the air, amassing 69 yards on six receptions.
Why the Packers lost
The Packers were playing from behind the entire game and could never do enough to catch up with a Titans team that is only getting better as the season continues. The Titans came out looking more comfortable and more prepared than the home team.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers went 24 of 39 with 227 yards and two touchdowns, but it was the missed wide-open receivers that were the most puzzling and detrimental. The Titans do not present the most difficult secondary to play against in the league, but the Packers made it look really good with their offensive struggles. Rodgers' longest pass was a 28-yard toss to Randall Cobb.
The defense was unable to contain Tannehill, and even when it picked him off, the offense was unable to capitalize.
Turning point
The Titans' second touchdown, a four-yard rush from Henry, extended their lead before the half and gave them momentum as they went into the third quarter. The defense then held the Packers to a field goal to open the second half. It is always a win to hold Rodgers to three points when he is marching down the field, even in a year during which the Packers are not playing up to their usual standard.
Play of the game
Henry is a remarkable running back, but it turns out he is a decent quarterback as well. On second-and-goal, Henry got the ball, and it looked like he would do what he is best at: punch it into the end zone. However, the offense had a trick play up its sleeve. Henry threw the ball to Austin Hooper for the TD to extend the Titans lead. After the game, Henry complimented Hooper on the catch and noted that the play was thanks to head coach Mike Vrabel and the offensive staff.
What's next
The Titans will host the Cincinnati Bengals next week, who are 5-4 heading into the weekend. The Bengals are hopeful that wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase can make his return in Week 12 against Tennessee. Chase has been sidelined with a hip injury.
The Packers head to Philadelphia to face the Philadelphia Eagles. Philly just lost its first game of the season, falling to the Washington Commanders in Week 10. That puts them at 8-1 heading into the weekend and in first place in the NFC, owning the tiebreaker over the 8-1 Minnesota Vikings.

From Formula1.com
McLaren racing director Eric Boullier says Mercedes AMG are catchable, despite the German team's dominant start to the 2014 season.
Mercedes AMG has taken three pole positions and three wins in the three races so far this year, but though it enjoyed a substantial pace advantage over the rest of the field in Bahrain, Boullier says it's not too late for McLaren to bridge such a deficit.
Asked during a McLaren-Mercedes teleconference if it was realistic to think that the gap could be closed to Mercedes, Boullier answered: "To be honest, I think it is. It's true that the gap is huge now, but a one-second gap is catchable. I know a lot of areas we can work on and improve, so I think they can definitely be caught.

"We are aggressively developing now to make sure we can catch up with them (Mercedes AMG)," he added. "We don't know if we will have caught them by the European races, but we'll definitely try to close the gap as much as possible."
McLaren suffered a double retirement in Bahrain with both Jenson Button and Kevin Magnussen both suffering clutch problems – a situation Boullier described as "a one-off".
The former Lotus man also supported Jenson Button's post-race assertion that after Mercedes, McLaren are the next fastest team.
"I believe that if you look at the performance graph from Jenson (in Bahrain), we had the potential to finish in front of the Force Indias," Boullier said.
"I agree with Jenson that we could be the second-fastest team – the best of the rest – but it is very, very tight with everybody."

In my last article, I've tried to compare several silhouette 3 starships from the Star Wars universe within Fantasy Flight Games RPG systems that are capable of a longer hyperdrive travel and can accommodate a minimum of two persons on board. One of them was HWK-290 Light Freighter – not the cheapest choice, but my personal favourite. I do not really have a good reason for that, I've never played Star Wars: Dark Forces, and this is where it was introduced, so I do not have my sentiments there. I guess I just like the lines of it, and the concept of a very small, yet a bit more elegant craft, that would give you some degree of independence.
The problem with HWK-290, however, is that there are multiple visions of how does it look like inside, how many persons it can accommodate, can you expect cabins, flashy corridors, or maybe it is more like an interior of U-96 submarine.
On the next pages of this entry I will try to dig through the limited official and more frequent not so official materials we have on HWK-290 and figure out, what version would match the FFG specs we have best.

Chicago (IL) – The Fusion-io solid-state storage drive (SSD) manufacturer has unveiled a new product, the ioDrive Duo. Fusion-io has doubled the storage capacity of the ioDrive Duo by placing two modules on the same board. It now stores up to 640 GB of data, though 1.28 TB versions are coming later this year. TG Daily is as excited about this product as any that we've seen to date.
While Fusion-io claims ioDrive Duo is "the fastest server-based solid-state drive", TG Daily is ready to take that claim a step further by saying "this technology is the storage product beginning a new chapter in permanent data storage." While the underlying technology may change over time to include faster, different and better abilities, it is exactly this type of product (a direct, high-speed PCI-e based interface and massive flash storage) which marks it as the beginning. All average consumers need to wait for now is a little time for the technology to catch up, which historically is about two to five years.
Today's ioDrive Duo is a PCI Express-based storage device capable of up to 640 GB of data storage at a 1.5 Gigabytes per second sustained throughput using 8 Kilobyte packets, and multiple devices have performance which scales linearly up to 6 Gigabytes per second using four drives. Each drive has the capacity for a sustained 1.5 Megabyte per second read bandwidth, and 1.4 Megabyte per second write bandwidth.
The ioDrive is rated at 186,000 read I/O operations per second (IOPS) using the same 512 byte packets as hard drives (93 Megabytes per second read) and 167,000 IOPS on writes (83.5 Megabytes per second write) simultaneously. This 512 byte packet size also makes writing updated storage drivers for the device an easy task, meaning wide OS support.
In summary:
• Sustained read bandwidth: 1500 MB/sec (32 kilobit, 4 kilobyte packet size)
• Sustained write bandwidth: 1400 MB/sec (32 kilobit, 4 kilobyte packet size)
• Read IOPS: 186,000 (4 kilobit, 512 byte packet size)
• Write IOPS: 167,000 (4 kilobit, 512 byte packet size)
The company claims the device has a latency of under 50 microseconds, which is a 100-fold to 200-fold increase over most high-end hard drive seek times today (which are around 10 ms).
[Note: Often times on modern hard drives it's the seek time, and not the drive's read/write speeds, which actually makes hard drive storage slow. Some OS drivers attempt to compensate for that, however most all of them do a woefully pitiful job of it. A simple re-ordering of reads and writes based on known or derived drive geometry can often provide a 2x to 5x speedup in performance on the same drive.]
The ioDrive Duo is equipped with optional RAID-1 mirroring between two ioMemory modules on the same ioDrive Duo for full redundancy in a single PCI-e card, though for the added mirrored security you'll be sacrificing capacity.
The drive comes in two sizes: one which fits an PCI-e 1.0 x8 slot and one which plugs into a PCI-e 2.0 x4 slot.
The SSD is manufactured using Samsung flash memory and can be purchased in 160GB, 320GB, and 640GB capacities beginning in April. Within the second half of the year it will be available in a 1.28 TB capacity. At this point no information on price is available, but the company did mention that SSD prices are declining and that the ioDrive will sell for "well under $30 per usable gigabyte", which would make the drives less than $4800, $9600, $19200 and $38400 (the price of $30 per Gigabyte). To compare, 1 TB hard drives today are selling at NewEgg for $88 to $160 for consumer drives, around $2000 for server drive. This puts their price per Gigabyte at $0.09, $0.16 and $2.00, respectively.
While these drives are extremely pricey by comparison (341x, 188x and 15x, respectively), they provide performance which could theoretically give a 100x speedup, though more likely between a 4x to 10x speedup in data read/writes during complex server workloads. Since the drives can be stored locally, they can also reduce network traffic resulting in a faster overall fabric. In large server farms, these savings could translate into several fewer pieces of equipment being needed to carry out the same workload, and in the same amount of time or faster. The money spent on buying fewer pieces of current equipment would be diverted to buying more of these types of storage systems.
This technology will literally change the face of computing. And it is products like this 640 GB PCI-e SSD that begin to write that chapter.

Last Friday, December 5, we hosted our first annual Middle School Alumni Speaker Series. To kick things off, our Alumni Office connected with four alumni from varying careers and diverse backgrounds to host this collaborative virtual assembly for our Middle School students.
The topic for our first assembly of the series was Alumni Impacting Youth. The speakers talked about their different careers working with children, how they overcame personal obstacles, and provided helpful advice to engage, motivate, and inspire our students.
Our first speaker, Natalie Browne Holmes, graduated from Springside School in 2008 and attended Boston University. She currently works at Google headquarters in New York City as a program manager of Code Next — a computer science and leadership education program for high school students that meet with Black and Latinx students in their communities. During her presentation, Natalie reflected on the importance of discovering your personal likes and dislikes, and that it's okay to change your mind and try new things at any point, especially if it works best for you.
Chelsey Roebuck, our next panelist, graduated from Chestnut Hill Academy in 2006 and went on to Columbia to receive his Bachelor of Science in Engineering. Chelsey started a program to bring the STEM education he received to youth in Africa. He has since then expanded his program ELiTE (Emerging Leaders in Technology and Engineering) to Central America, the Caribbean, and underserved youth in New York City. A highlight from Chelsey's presentation was when he spoke about the importance of confidence and the power of using your own voice. As someone who has given TED Talks and spoken to large audiences, Chelsey shared that he still gets nervous before public speaking and works to overcome that challenge each time.
Our third speaker, Carolyn Tague, has lived in Alaska for the past 25 years. She graduated from Springside in 1980 and has served as a Special Education teacher, mentor, and counselor for thousands of children, underprivileged and underserved. She is the founder of The Lemong'o Project which is dedicated to empowering the Maasai people of Lemong'o in rural Kenya through improvement of nutrition, access to education, health support, and employment opportunities. During her presentation, Carolyn spoke the importance of following your lifelong dreams and passions, sharing: "As soon as I arrived in the village, it just felt like home for me... I met with the leaders of the community and asked them to meet with the greater community to find out their priorities and needs. It wasn't my role to come in and tell them what they needed. I wanted to learn from them where they needed support."
Last but not least, Frank Jackson graduated from SCH in 2014 and moved on to attend Texas Christian University. During his time in college, he studied abroad in Quito, Ecuador, where he lived with a host family. In 2018, he joined Teach for America and worked with youth in Texas to carry out his vision of ending educational inequity for all students. Now, Mr. Jackson has returned to his roots by working as an Upper School Spanish Teacher here at SCH Academy. During his presentation, Frank highlighted the importance of capturing memories by speaking about his father, who he calls his "north star." He shared: "My dad was a teacher for 40 years. He taught special education and my whole life I said I was never going to be a teacher... but the influences you get from your parents or the people you look up to, you end up falling in love—maybe not with the profession, but the feeling that you have by doing what they did." A lovely way to honor him, Frank!
Watch the full recording of our first virtual Alumni Speaker assembly here.
Please stay tuned for our next virtual assembly in the Alumni Speaker Series, Alumni with Careers in Sports, which is currently scheduled for for January 14.

Kathleen Furi Juffa's home for wayward bastards & orphans
19 June 2015
MY grandmother was the toughest woman I've ever known. She was also the funniest and kindest.
Kathleen Furi Juffa was born sometime in the early 1930s. No one back then knew their exact birth dates.
I once asked her and she glared at me and said it wasn't important. Living and surviving were important, not the date that detailed when you were born she stated with a special look that said "Say no more or die!" It transformed a diminutive woman into a giant ogre.
Kathleen was just 14 when she married my grandfather Victor Juffa after he came back from the war. Well, that's what my mum said, in a way that suggested she disapproved.
I recall my grandmother relating this story to me for the millionth time at our home in Kokoda as she sat with me at the fireplace happily engaging in her favourite pastime – chewing betel nut after the evening meal.
My mother, packing to leave for Port Moresby after her usual visit, muttered something about grandmother Kathleen's brother wanting precious store goods so grandmother got married.
Grandmother blew up! She had that monster look in her eyes and declared in a blood-freezing way, "Well you were lucky I didn't drop you in the latrine when I gave birth to you aren't you? Sometimes I think that would not have been a bad idea but luckily my grandson here made up for it."
My mum clamped up. That was a story she didn't like. How grandmother almost lost her in the latrine when mum entered this world too quickly.
In general, mum was cynical about my grandmother and they had bitter arguments about everything, usually because of some silly comment one of them would make. All of us would just enjoy the show.
Except when it affected us. "Why did you speak to that dragon? You go and eat with her!" Then it was either cold food or none at all from mum's kitchen. And if we then did eat with my grandmother, we were snubbed for days. It was walking on eggshells for the duration of the feud. Sometimes they wouldn't speak for months.
My grandmother's tribal totem was a large bird, Amone, known for being a real sulk and holding a grudge. It seemed this bird afflicted anybody born into the clan. Everyone held grudges and sulked terribly, she and my mother being classic examples.
Some people will be nodding and saying to themselves, "So this is where he gets it".
In fact I was labelled the "Incredible Sulk" by my fourth grade teacher in Lae, Ms McCarthy. I had to sit in a corner and glare at the wall on days I was in rage and she sent me there.
My corner-mate was Holmes Kissing. He and I alternated there (love you brother). Ms McCarthy was fat, no kids, a horrible person, a racist I am sure. Her arm was bigger than a child and she wore a tent she could easily fit several children under.
I kept getting sent to the headmaster for various punishments. One that hurt was when I came to school and was admonished for my uniform being dirty and smelly. In front of the class. All the children giggled at my humiliation. I was 10 and a single parent child.
My mother, a family planning coordinator, was often away on field trips visiting villages and remote stations and I was taking care of myself, making my own breakfast and walking to school.
Mother had stopped leaving me with her 'friends' when she found that they referred to me as "that little bastard" and didn't always feed me. I told her I was tired of sleeping under the stairs and missing out on meals, watching them while they ate and I stood outside.
I convinced her I could look after myself and she gave me some money and let me stay alone. I collected bottles after school and sold them at the SP Brewery depot.
I also invited my mates from the nearby settlement (Boo, Mogea, Arua, Richard, I love you guys) to stay with me. We had meat pies and Coke for dinner and again for breakfast. We sneaked into the movie theatres and watched everything. We hardly ever showered. It was cold. We were kids. Anyway, what did I know about personal hygiene?
That day was the most embarrassing of my primary school life. It was an international school and my mother could barely afford to send me there. I never got on well with the kids or the teachers and was always getting in trouble for something I felt I didn't do.
Parent-teacher events were no fun. Everyone's parents turned up except mine. I had mum's office gardener, Sape from Kukukuku, come along barefoot with a giant tramontina and a plate of sandwiches. Mum was busy working several jobs.
Kathleen Furi Juffa had raised me and other "little bastards" at Block 168, Kokoda until her husband, retired Papuan Infantry Battalion soldier, Victor Juffa died. That was when I moved around with my mother wherever she was posted - Mendi, Ialibu, Hagen, Minj, Lae - until going back to Block 168 where I had grown up.
Mum had a car accident in Lae when I was about 10 and thereafter struggled to take care of me. She confided in me many years later that she was worried sick. We were living with people in hostels and sometimes terrible things happened. In general, it was about surviving.
My mother always sent me home for holidays so I kept my native language skills sharp and knew my tribal lands and tribal lore. For Grades 4-6 I shifted to Block 168 with my grandmother and cousins who were all somehow rejects or 'little bastards' like me.
In these Kokoda days, like many other kids, I had a long walk to school and back. Some days were bliss; others were hell. Especially when I had malaria and could barely walk the two hours back to the block, shaking and in tears and feeling very sorry for myself.
I would lie under a cocoa tree in the burning sun, hands between my knees and teeth chattering, shivering until my grandmother came from the market. I don't know whether it's pharmacologically OK for kids to take Amoxycillin and Chloroquin and Panadol all at once, but I survived so it worked out fine. Grandmother treated everything with Amoxycillin and Panadol.
She sold cabbages and scones at the market and made do while mum recovered from her accident. Hard times but happy times. We all contributed - chopping wood, hunting, fishing, collecting greens, fetching water, harvesting our small cocoa patch. A dog named Santo was my best friend and with me everywhere I went.
Grandmother was a workaholic. She was up at five and wake all of us and get us to start working. Tending the chicken pens, cleaning the yard, making the fire, preparing breakfast, scraping coconuts. Everyone was busy.
Some days we would have a treat for our meal, like a fresh chicken. It was usually a Saturday and it was a whole day event.
These were the days my mother would send money and grandmother would buy rice and noodles, special stuff. She would also send us to our neighbour's place to buy a live chicken.
Once she ordered us to kill a rooster which we chased around gleefully trying not to catch it while she boiled hot water, cooked the rice and heated the wood stove to bake scones for market the next day.
Our ineffectual hunting down of a scrawny red rooster got grandmother raging mad. Her ogre came out and she screeched, "You skinny brats! What is taking so long?" strutting out of the kitchen like a dragon from its cave.
She was like that, instantly going from mild and loving tiny grandmother to giant fire-breathing dragon woman. We searched for somewhere to hide but fortunately the little red rooster paid the price.
He was always annoying grandmother anyway; crowing at three in the morning when the others did theirs at six. And right under her bedroom too. She would mutter "the pot is where you will be soon" as she thumped the floor.
But that didn't irritate her as much as the fact this rooster was a rapist. He raped any creature smaller than himself. He even tried it with our neighbour's toddler once while the poor unsuspecting child was doing a shit in the woods.
He was a bad, bad bird this rooster. Fierce and aggressive and always raping the hens, even when they were on eggs. None of the dogs would mess with this bag of bones covered with red feathers.
Grandmother loved collecting strays. She would collect puppies and kittens no one wanted and she would look after them. They were usually the most pitiful ones, the runts and the scraggly. Much like us kids, I guess, in Kathleen Furi Juffa's little home for wayward bastards and creatures.
She would kiss these weaklings and cuddle and feed them. Some of these creatures had fur missing, ribs sticking out and shook like alcoholics. Some had missing ears, eyes and teeth but every one would be given love and warm food. Many were near death and few made it to adulthood, dying as kittens or pups but while they lived they were loved.
So she came back and found the little red rapist trying to molest her little collection of pitiful animals. They were squealing and whining and making more noise than a Kokoda Friday social night. And grandmother was furious.
"You won't crow out of time again you little red piece of hell," she declared, sentencing the rooster to death there and then. We ate him on Saturday.
Back to the chase of the rooster. As grandmother emerged from the kitchen, we stood scared shitless pondering what she might do to us. She had a mean backhand. But this time she suddenly appears holding a trident usually used to spear bandicoots (another favourite meal).
This she flung like an Olympic javelin and, making a whirring sound, it sailed through the air towards the rooster which was thinking it had escaped us to rape another day. The three-pointed spear pinned the rooster to the ground by the neck, instantly killing it.
We stood there slack-jawed and grandmother muttered, "That's how you kill a rapist". At which point we all found something useful to do, working quietly and feverishly like dutiful little colonial plantation workers.
It's raining outside and such nights bring back memories of growing up at Block 168, Kokoda. Good and bad memories. I sometimes laugh when I recall those times but I can't help wiping away tears too.
On those rainy Kokoda nights, grandmother would cook early and gather us near the fire to tell us legends. She would chew betel nut and be mellow and warm and loving and tell us horrific legends of murder and cannibalism and ogres that raped and killed their victims and strung them up by their entrails to feast for days on their rotting carcasses.
We would be cosy, sip our lemon 'tea' (lemon leaves with sugar) and listen attentively as if in church. No details were spared - she was gruesome - and we had terrible nightmares but we loved these stories.
Then off to bed to listen to the rain falling hard on the tin roof and retell the tales to ourselves, listening to the rain and the night creatures and falling asleep one by one.
Some nights I would wake up and see the low flicker of the kerosene lamp with grandmother sitting working on her bilum and singing and humming gently and crying softly. Singing about her beloved husband, my grandfather who was a true warrior and who loved her deeply. Theirs was a love story that was true and pure.
"You left so suddenly, like the dead branch on a tree surging ahead and leaving me behind."
Her cheeks would be wet with tears and I wiped away my own tears on those nights and an extreme sense of loss would remind me that I also missed this great man.
I have decided to write these stories of my childhood and capture something of growing up in Papua New Guinea just after independence. Perhaps they will provide some insight for the reader. I hope to collect these stories into a book. Maybe I will call it 'A bastard in paradise: tales of growing up in post-independence PNG'.

In Sixers, Knicks can see the process but lasting through it is the hard part
PHILADELPHIA — For years Sixers' coach Brett Brown had to work through his hopeful pregame answers, optimistically talking about a day when things would be better. And now, in a season where they finally are, the Knicks arrived at Wells Fargo Center Monday feeling a bit of the process that Brown and the Sixers went through.
It is the Knicks who now have the star sidelined for who knows how long with Kristaps Porzingis scheduled to undergo surgery Tuesday and Knicks' coach Jeff Hornacek who must offer platitudes about better days ahead.
Hornacek could not muster a smile as he stood on the sidelines in the fourth quarter, another game getting out of hand as Ben Simmons and Robert Covington took turns creating posters at the Knicks expense. The Sixers coasted almost effortlessly to a 108-92 win over the Knicks.
In losing their seventh straight game the Knicks only moment of joy came when Emmanuel Mudiay missed a pair of free throws, sending the Philadelphia crowd into a frenzy as they would get a Wendy's Frosty as a reward.
And at the Knicks' expense the Sixers' diminutive reserve guard T.J. McConnell got Joel Embiid leaping in the air as he grabbed a rebound in the final minute to complete a triple-double with 10 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds.
When the locker room door opened, a loud expletive could be heard and while on a night like this it could be almost anyone, this time it was Tim Hardaway Jr. who was 0-for-8 from beyond the arc to extend his struggles to 5-for-44 over the last seven games. He wasn't enamored with where the process is right now.
"Yeah, I wish I could make a (expletive) shot," Hardaway said. "I am frustrated. Kind of in a slump right now. Just got to try to shoot my way out of it. Can't harp on it. You can't keep on letting it go. I mean, it's too many games in a row now. I've got to figure it out.
"My teammates are doing a great job of encouraging me every step of the way. I'm not going to lie and sit here and laugh about it. It's frustrating. Pissing me off. So, got to do whatever I can to get out of it and we've got one more game and hopefully over this break, after this game, everybody can clear their minds. Everybody can reboot, energize themselves and finish this season off the right way. We have Washington on Wednesday. We've got to go out there with a mindset of we're going to win the game."
Brown now has a process that may not have reached fruition, but it has accelerated greatly this season with Embiid and Simmons providing a young star core - even while this year's No. 1 overall pick, Markelle Fultz, remains in limbo. Hornacek is the one left to try to prepare a not ready for prime time group of possible youngsters to replace the starting lineup that currently includes cast-offs like Jarrett Jack, Michael Beasley and on this night Lance Thomas.
"You've just got to keep working," Hornacek said. "You got to try to keep guys from getting discouraged. You're still trying to win games. Brett knows guys were trying to win games back then, too. Sometimes you're outmanned but you have to be a little patient.
"During that time when you're trying to get back it took them a few years. They got a couple of No. 1 picks that have now started playing. During that time you still got to work on all the things and hope when that time comes they learned a lot and can jump right in there. That's the lesson you can take from these guys."
The Knicks carried a 23-34 record into Monday's game and haven't exactly been living through a golden era of late - missing the playoffs in each of the last four seasons, including the 17-65 season four years ago which marked the worst single season in franchise history.
The Sixers absorbed more than their share of painful losses, compiling a 75-253 over the last four seasons. Through the mantra of "Trust the process" there were plenty of misfires, highly-regarded players who didn't pan out even before Fultz's struggles with injury and his lost ability to shoot.
Through it all, Brown was able to focus on this time when the development would begin to show a payoff.
"We based our whole compass on developing relationships," Brown said. "We really tried to develop our guys. We tried to have genuine relationships. We tried to find a path to help them. For me it was how do I become the best leader I can for my coaching staff - you've got to coach them, too. They're going through the same thing and then you've got to coach your young players.
"For me it was development and relationships, try to help them. Just try to find a way to help them. That's not the perfect blueprint, but for me it's all I knew. And we wish (Hornacek) well."
Hornacek may not have the cushion that Brown did. As he tries to ready 19-year-old Frank Ntilikina to take over a starting role and work in just-acquired 21-year-old Emmanuel Mudiay, he has to try to prove his own worth.
Through all of the losses Brown was a part of the process and managed to hold onto his job into the better days. Hornacek was kept in place with the front office shakeup last summer, but he is a holdover who was hired by Phil Jackson.
Knicks' president Steve Mills has said that Hornacek is on the same page with Mills and general manager Scott Perry. But does he get another shot next season in what figures to be another difficult season with Porzingis likely out for at least a significant portion of the schedule?
The Knicks process is just in its infancy, even if the losses have come for years. Brown can give him advice, but he can't give him any assurances that he will have a chance to see it through.

Watch This: Visual Explanations and Your Online Course
Move over TED-Ed, you aren't the only ones in town offering brief multimedia presentations of educational concepts. Other platforms and providers are also creating collections of embeddable, linkable features that can augment an online lesson. These recorded mini-lectures are presented as audio narration with a visual component, which may include animation, screenshots, and screencasts, and are growing in popularity with both students and instructors. Here are three examples you may want to consider as you review your course materials for the upcoming term:
- Explania: This site offers "hundreds of animated explanations, interactive tutorials and instructional videos." In addition to searching topics by keyword, you can also browse categories, or channels, such as technology and ecology, as well as Most Popular and Most Recent. The topics cover a wide range and include workplace training as well as educational materials. A nice example of an Explania animation isWhat is Twitter?
- Khan Academy: Perhaps one of the best known sources of online educational tutorials, this non profit boasts over 3000 videos covering primarily K-12 subject areas such as math, science, and humanities. Learners can search for and watch individual selections, or become more engaged in the platform earning digital learning badges, completing adaptive assessments to practice skills, working through test prep modules (e.g. SAT Math, GMAT), and tracking learning progress. View two examples – Bay of Pigs Invasion and Balancing Chemical Equations – that include audio narration and a variety of visual elements. Transcripts and subtitles are also available.
- RSA Animate: This series of video presentations features topics ranging from economics and neuroscience to motivation and education all ranging from 10 to 12 minutes in duration. One title, Changing Education Paradigms has had over 7 million views. This is a great example of the approach used in this series, adding drawings on a whiteboard to illustrate a narrated lecture. RSA Animate is a project of The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce.
These examples are all of collections, but there are other options. An animated explanation of the Higgs Boson particle and the Large Hadron Collider, recently featured on OpenCulture.com, helps to describe the physics theories involved.
Why are they so popular?
According to a Forbes article published last week, "Online video has become a valuable 21st century learning tool, in and out of the classroom. In the last year, views of educational videos on YouTube doubled." Much of this content is free to use and easy to link to or even embed on a web page or within a course site.
It's not just instructors that seek out this kind of presentation. A study of undergraduate students by researcher Glenda Morgan from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign recently found that "most students shop around for digital texts and videosbeyond the boundaries of what professors assign them in class." These supplemental resources are often found through university productions, such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Open CourseWare and those found on sites like Academic Earth.
Like the TED Talks, online options include presentations created by subject matter experts, with professional animation and video producers, resulting in short features designed to hold the viewers attention. There is a certain amount of storytelling involved that if done well, can draw students into the lesson being presented and positively impact learning along the way.
Ideas for Use in Your Courses
All of these tools remind me a little bit of those days as a young student in a traditional classroom when the teacher announced a film or similar activity. My classmates and I eagerly anticipated this break from the norm, a new source of information that also had the potential to entertain and help us remember what we learned. Who can forget Schoolhouse Rock, for example, and the episode that explained how a bill becomes a law?
How could you adopt visual explanation resources in your online course? In a course that is primarily text based, as many online courses are, these materials may be well-received by students as part of:
- Course discussions: You might ask students to view a recording you've selected. Provide guiding questions to consider and incorporate in an asynchronous or synchronous conversation related to the course learning objectives.
- "Live" demonstrations: Leading students through a demonstration, like those that often take place in science courses, can be problematic in an online environment. You may find existing videos that will expand your explanations of difficult concepts and assigned readings.
- Remediation and review: With the range of topics and levels of education represented, your students may appreciate access to these online platforms to review materials that help to explain complex ideas presented in your course. These materials can also provide help for those who need more background information and practice.
One of the challenges of using these existing products is finding components relevant for your lessons and in the context of your course and students. You may be interested increating your own multimedia presentations, and there are multiple tools available to help you with this. As you review the options, keep costs and compatibility with your school's learning management system in mind. A recent post from educator Justin Marquis at OnlineUniversities.com outlines some of the steps required for creating videos similar to those from Kahn Academy.
Consider enlisting the help of instructional designers and media specialists at your school. You might be surprised to find teams available to help you with these kinds of projects through faculty support offices and centers for teaching and learning.

De-Mystifying Khan Academy: Screen Capture for Educators
Whiteboard screencasting is all the rage for creating educational videos like those featured inthe Khan Academy. Here's a quick look at how Salman Khan does it and some free (and not-so-free) tools that you can use to create your own educational videos to benefit you and your students.
The Khan Academy Videos
The Khan Academy website provides a FAQ that lists the tools that Salman Khan uses to create his videos:
- Camtasia Recorder/Studio ($200)
- ScreenVideoRecorder ($20)
- SmoothDraw 3 (Free)
- Microsoft Paint (Free)
- Wacom Bamboo Tablet ($80)
Looking at this list reveals three basic types of tools needed to do a whiteboard screencast: a video screen recorder, a drawing program, and an input device. The basic concept is very simple: you plan your lesson, then record what you draw using the drawing program and your narration with the video screen capture program. The input device (use a graphics tablet for best results) allows you to draw or write on a tablet rather than trying to use the mouse. The programs that Sal Khan uses are all fine, so here is a closer look at the Khan selections and a few more, including free and more advanced (and expensive) options.
Screen Capture Programs
These programs run in the background of your computer and allow you to record the action as it happens on your screen as well as any associated audio, including that coming through your microphone. In addition, the best of them, such as Camtasia and Captivate allow you to record separate voice over narration and edit pointers, highlight areas of the screen, embed hyperlinks, and adjust the timing of the video you produce.
- Camtasia Studio ($200): The official choice of the Khan Academy, Camtasia Studio, or Camtasia Recorder is a robust program that allow for considerable editing after the video is recorded. Here is the official demo video for how to use this program:
- Camstudio (Free): This free, open source program is basic but effective, allowing you to capture video and audio and produce AVI and Flash movies.
- Adobe Captivate ($799): Captivate is the professional level tool that has the most robust editing tools. It also allows you to make interactive quizzes and Flash presentations. This is a program that I have used to create online training applications. It might be overkill for this use, but does provide a lot of flexibility should you need it.
- Screenhunter (Free): The free version of this program allows for basic video capture of your computer screen.
- Snagit (Free Trial): More robust than Screenhunter, this program allows for some editing after the recording, but is only a free trial – the full version is $49.
- Free Screen Video Capture (Free): This freebie allows you to capture full screen or a selected window and contains its own built-in compression program to export video in a variety of formats with some nice controls.
- Koyote Soft Free Screen to Video (Free): This basic, free tool allows full screen or window capture and creates Flash movies.
- iPad Video Capture: For those interested in capturing the action on an iPad 2 or 3, this helpful video from MacMost Now will explain how.
Drawing Programs
These programs are for the actual on screen writing that the Khan videos are so well known for. Essentially, you can use any drawing program from Adobe Photoshop, to Paint in order to create the images on your screen. The real heavy lifting is done by the capture programs listed above. Here are some of the options available, but you probably already have one or more programs on your computer that can do this.
- SmoothDraw3 (Free): Sal Khan's official choice integrates nicely with a graphic tablet.
- Windows Paint (Free): This free program is pretty basic, but will do the job – and it's probably already installed on your PC.
- Pencil (Free): This powerful free program allows you to not only draw, but also to import vector graphics, video, and other formats, and to animate those assets using key frames. More complicated, but for someone looking to make some truly engaging and interactive videos, this would be a fun choice.
- GIMP (Free): The Gnu Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) is one of the staple free programs for those looking to do graphics work but not pay the heavy price for Photoshop. Essentially this is a slightly less-robust Photoshop clone, but the price is right.
- Autodesk SketchBook Pro ($59): There is a free trial for this program as well as an iPad app, so you can take this option on the road with you. This program offers professional quality sketching and illustration tools, so it might be overkill for screencasting, but it offers a lot of flexibility for future use.
- Adobe Photoshop ($699) or Photoshop Elements ($99): Photoshop is the industry standard for graphics works and is sufficiently versatile to allow you to create almost any graphic you could imagine. Again, probably overkill for screencasting, particularly at the price, but the high-end features are unrivaled.
The Stand Alone Program
With the rise to prominence of the screencast model, there is a new entry into the arena,ShowMe. This iPad-specific app allows you to write with your finger (or iPad stylus) right on the touch screen of the iPad and capture the action as a video with audio added right through the device's built-in microphone. The best part about the ShowMe app is that it is also a social platform for teachers (or anyone, really) to share the screencasts that they create. It already has a collection of lessons on math, science, language learning, English, and social studies – all in the popular screencast format.
Hardware: Graphics Tablets
If you are not using ShowMe and an iPad, you will need to use a graphics tablet and stylus in order to get the smooth drawing and illustration that Sal Khan does in the Khan Academy videos – sorry, but the mouse just won't do the job. These tablets work with any of the drawing programs above to allow you to use a stylus to write directly onto the tablet surface. What you draw or write is captured by the drawing program. This About.com article reviews several of the best tablets, including the one that Sal Khan himself uses to create his videos.
Benefits of Screencasting
There are two obvious reasons for screencasting some or all of the content for your classes. The first is that it makes your life easier. The second is that it makes your students' lives easier.
In Washington State we have several Tiers of technology integration as part of the State Education Standards. Tier 1 is using technology to make your job as a teacher easier. Screencasting some of your lessons allows you to archive them for future use. It is easy to build up a library of content this way that you can simply access each year as long as the information is still current. In mathematics or grammar, for example that information never goes out of style. Your clothing, hair style, and glasses might, but the material never will.
For students screencasting and archiving lessons, either on a site like ShowMe or your own YouTube channel, allows you to flip the classroom. This simply means that students watch the lesson videos in their own time, at their own pace, and wherever they like. The benefit for them is that they can pause, rewind, or replay you as often as they need to in order to best understand the material. For you, flipping the classroom frees you up to work one-on-one with students, either to remediate things they didn't get on their own, or to provide enrichment at the individual level.
These tools are pretty simple to use and generally free or very low cost. A graphic tablet will cost a bit (under $100), but that's a small price to pay for all the potential time screencasting will save you and for the learning benefits for your students. Get to it and share some of your work on this site.
