Starting out. We got we got some advice for y'all All right, not advice from us. We got advice from none other than Barry Hefner If y'all know Barry Hefner jacquard tell him tell him who Barry is. Yeah, so he's one of the founders Since the 80s, which is I know they're mainly in the management managing like JID earth game I can't think of I don't know how to say her name, but the artist name is like in J. Z. Oh ma something like Yeah, pretty much, but he's like a superstar manager I hear you know saying from home grown Atlanta and someone we be looking at for you know some some inside information here and there Yeah. Yeah, so You know, I think this is actually the second time we've actually talked about something from Barry on the pod I think there was one episode where we were supposed to talk about something from him Maybe I don't know if we got to I remember was on the list though I feel like we got to it if so that makes them like the first person we addressed or talked about twice So fast and so few episodes Let you know the game y'all go follow Barry and let them let them know who we sent y'all, you know, I'm saying no labels necessary, but uh Barry says so I have this method that I use when developing an artist that may be old or new Who's who knows but I call the Let me start this over I have this method I use one out when developing an artist that may be old or new Who knows but I call it the inside out theory. So I'll explain the inside out theory is like this I'll advise all artists to think of their career as a house or a piece of property. All right y'all y'all use that Imagination whatever house close. I'll get into it. Close. I'll get into it. Let's meditate on this now next slide Most artists today love to focus on just the inside of their homes described in this image below recording number two their image number three strategy number four research number five social media and number six practicing which I assume, you know practicing their craft of music, right? now he gives a picture this beautiful picture of inside of a home and Social media is like the couch the image is decided couch practicing is like the floor mat You could put it anywhere throughout the house, but he just goes further with the image if y'all see the screen now next all right Artists fail to focus on the outside of their homes, which is number one execution to showmanship All right, that's different than what y'all normally practice in just the music. That's the entertainment on stage, right? Number three networking. Mmm. Number four confidence. That's very interesting. We got to address that one day number five likability number six charisma Yeah, we definitely actually go deep dive deeper in this. I like this now Then he puts these things on the outside of the house right executions one of the windows showmanship's apart the Structure networking is near the foundation all that stuff right that's the outside of the house Now here he goes the thoughts behind this method is to build the thoughts behind this method is to build the ideal home or career You must first start with the foundation let that balance between the inside and Outside by only focusing on one you can have success, but you can achieve superstar status without properly doing both I think I instantly agree right anybody doing both like anybody's a superstar definitely has both Yeah, easy easy. So then the last image, right? Inside and outside now he is like a flex. It's like a mansion or something, right?  Yeah, it's crazy. You ain't here. All right, so Last couple of statements the issues I see arising with the business is artists and their team are so hyper focused on one aspect Of the grind and how it looks versus the grind and what it takes I could go on for days and days about this You know, I actually thought this was a B testing when I first read it Days and days about this but the point is take care of your home from the inside to the outside if you want to keep it Bam, that's it. So to Corey One The same question. I'm gonna ask everybody else out there. What do y'all think about this analogy You think it fits anything and are there any holes in it? Is it good? What's up? Can you go back to the second the second slide real quick where he talks about the thing is the inside of the house Inside, I think it's a good analogy. Like it definitely painted the picture for me I didn't know what was going the first time I read it. I was like, it's like a house I was like, we know right, you know, but it by the time I got through it. He won you over Yeah, it won me over the only one that I guess kind of confused me is like research because I don't understand Ma'am guessing like he means like ours. I guess researching more the music industry looking into what needs to be done But to me I get that will fall in. I don't know. Maybe that would come up for a strategy to me I might be nitpicking with it, but that might just be me I would I would like clarity on that one because I wasn't sure if maybe he was talking about Like maybe I'm just researching the landscape because he said the artist in their team, right? Yeah, and so Maybe researching like where I want to place my music stuff like that I mean, that still falls in the market and probably be a little bit more of an outside I don't I don't know. Yeah, that one is a little bit unclear for sure for sure But I mean though the points he touched on though a hundred percent right like all this stuff on the screen right now Is probably number one for most artists. Yeah, like make sure them Let me make sure the music is straight. Let me make sure I look like an artist, right? Let me Stragize a homo blow up in 90 days. Oh, this is a hundred percent like priority number one I think for like 90% of artists. Can you go to the other one real quick?  I think now that I Connected with that last statement, right? grinding what he said he said people focus on The grinding how it looks versus the grinding what it takes, right? Yeah, all right, so a Lot of that number two that outside is definitely what it takes, right? Yeah, whatever it takes to execute to get there But we talk about that showmanship to really build the fan base not just have people show up because you got a poppin song Yeah, right, and they're gonna get a good show.  I know I just went straight to the top but like you're not gonna get invited to certain venues and Ceremonies if your show is not popping they might like your music, but you're not showing up Book for a birthday party. Yeah, I can't book for the big stage easy easy and three Through six. I feel like a super red. He might be talking more about the artist team at that point Cuz I feel like it is very rare to see In the artist that is a good networker. I feel like a lot of ours don't even like going outside like that Maybe not rare Maybe it's just I haven't run across a lot of ours. I know a very introverted don't like Like that they don't like going to you tell them like you should go to this conference I'm not going to a conference. My manager is going to this conference, right? Like my my assistant is gonna go to like they don't want to do most ours I know don't want to do like the business our network and their network with artists Like other artists and maybe producers right the creative networking all day, but they don't want to go like talk to a sink agent You know saying like a lot of them confidence I guess it's kind of like whatever it's hard to tell our confidence that you get to know You know saying I think some what do you what do you think about when you hear confidence? Like the first thing you hear like why do he less confidence on here in your mind? I think the the first thing I think of when I hear confidence is the way I Think one part of it is like how much you let like outside criticism get to you Because to me that's the easiest way to be able to tell how confident the artist is because we don't really know them Right so I can't like you don't get to meet them and talk to them and judge their true confidence But you can tell by the way they react to certain things online online how confident they might be in and whatever it is They're putting out or working on so that to me I think performance confidence is a big one, but I think this is why in many ways Maybe it's like the Bible, right? It's vague enough or I don't even just say the Bible like a Bible to speech In general it's vague enough for you to just interpret in a way that fits you Yeah, but to me it shows him like just having a real experience, which obviously is a thing but yeah Confidence is something you would typically look at as an inside thing, right? Yeah, but he put it on the outside, right? Maybe it's the way it impacts the outside, but a few things there's a few different interpretations of confidence what you just said number two Your star quality comes with a level of confidence, right? Do you present yourself with a level of confidence when you meet people on person you talked about performance to you mentioned that That's a different type of confidence. So just having the confidence as an artist like when you communicate and When you show yourself When you show yourself to The fans outside of your music main environment the music videos, right your your actual music the tracks Yeah, that's what builds the image on another level All right It's like it's almost it's weird because even the artists that are like looked at as introverted, right or they're not I'm moving in the scene or they're anti The ones at the top are still confident, right? They're like they did they have that perception of confident otherwise you couldn't give the people Who are so insecure? This guiding light. Yeah, right? Oh, yeah, I'm introverted to and he doesn't like being outside or he doesn't like to be a part of the main thing Yeah, they relate to that aspect of you, but you're doing getting a confident way in the way you present yourself That's what makes it aspirational. So I think confidence is definitely a part of what helps you execute better But it's also What allows you to have the aspirational level that's in some ways required from your fan base Yeah, like you and you can't get that otherwise. So do you also have the like ability? Yo, I mean, this is when he goes back. We're talking about superstars here Again, you don't have to you don't have to do any of this. You actually do not have to be a superstar You can have a career on whatever level you want to right but like ability if you want to be on a top tier level People have to like you, right? It's huge, bro Not even just the fans like like we were talking about like everyday people who are just around you, but the grocery people You know I'm saying your mailman or the industry people the industry people. Yeah, like all those people bro Like they have to like you or at least feel like they kind of like you while they around, you know And they can talk about a lot like I think a lot of artists Discount like how much of the industry is really just like socializing, right? Like we talked about it a lot, bro. It's like in the perfect world We all just sit in the house put our shit out and we'd all be rich and amazing, but it don't work like that Babies and when people over yeah music is 100% like that more than you know, many industries I don't want to say for sure that it's the most like that, but it's one of those industry that's Socialization heavy Higher you go and what's crazy about it too is like it's like everybody that's a part of the organization Has to be social and likeable like I think about like think about when went to LA and we had Lunch with like the BMG people right as me you Johnson EJ imagine if like Johnson EJ was like weird and entire the whole time right? It's like they also have to be just as likeable social in that situation as we do Well artists was there too. Yeah, yeah Yeah, so it's like somebody we brought around us We vouch for has to also never be social and likeable to the Greek and so where ours is the same verse like when you go Situations like I think they look at like all my managers and one that has to be you know The busy body kind of bouncing around, you know shaking hands kissing babies, but it's like no, but we looking at you too Bro if your manager is working the room and you kind of like off to the corner like you know saying being weird Like it's gonna come back to your operation, bro You just you just gave me another click in the brain because if we go back to it remember at the beginning All right He talks about the artist and their team. Yeah, right with their focus is I don't even know where that is Or maybe it was at the end and we mentioned it. Oh, I liked it.  I remember I can't remember Who mentioned this last but it's a common story. All right where people will not rock with you Because of your manager. Yeah, as a matter of fact Not even just will not rock with you because of your manager their scenarios where I will rock with you However, I won't work with you because of your manager. Yeah. Right.  Yeah, you know what I do Yeah, it's like it's like that relationship that's weighing you down You know, it's like, oh man all of a sudden every since we broke up Bruh, every since I got rid of her just all these opportunities been coming In life like things a little bit lighter sleep is better I'm executing like it's one of those things some managers really can't bring that way and then not just a manager though It could be many other people from other directions on the team. That's a representation of you anybody That's a representation of you. So it's something to be aware of and then charisma. That's just that thing. That's that's that extra Yeah, that's the hard one. Yeah, I think you can see it. I feel like you can study charisma I'm not gonna truly teach charisma. No, no, I don't think you can you know, you could be More likable, right? Yeah A level of training of charisma. I feel like that's at the bottom of the charisma spectrum That just means being very likable. Yeah But the X factor level of charisma That's that's that's a little bit more difficult because funny Charisma is like this weird mix when you break it down. It's not just Oh, he's fun to be around right there's some people who are like really funny always fun to be around but that's not necessarily Charisma alone, right? Yeah, there's all small persuasive Persuasion. Yeah, there's a level of that that comes with charisma 100% right 100% So then you go back and let's look at the ones near the top of like Chorus Kanye highly persuasive, right highly polarizing so he's anti persuasive to many people But he's very persuasive to many right and he does do it with a level of charisma. You know, he's Yeah, he runs with it. You know, and a huge part of that. All right Is belief and I think people who don't have charisma on every level At least have charisma in some category something that they really know when they care about yeah, right? Because then you have confidence most of it comes from the conviction in which you deliver the message Yeah, that's all it is and it's funny. I thought this long time ago, right? It's like if you believe some something You're really about it. You have strong belief in and you might be like a little Little less social right and hard on speaking around about speaking to other people in environments, etc But let's just say your life is on the line or your mom's life is on the line, right? You can speak a lot more convincingly, right? Cool, and there's some people who can speak in those categories where things matter. Then there's other people Who can have a high level of charisma no matter what they're talking about? Those are the bull shitters and the people who are high risk Those people are dangerous It's make oil salesman all that type of stuff is that is a dangerous trait to have they could be lying or they could not know much Right those people can be naturally good at a sales job. Yeah, and they barely know the product You know, I mean so they don't even have a real reason to be confident. They just talk And say whatever they say with conviction and then there's some people. Yeah Outside of like sales and business environment that I've encountered that uh, they're definitely dangerous in other ways They dangerous in other ways Shoot she was you Karen's are like that Yeah Hey, man, you know, you be lying with charisma man. Okay. Oh my gosh. He's trying to attack me He's trying to take me calling the police. It's the same thing, right? That's the other side of it But that charisma is a dangerous coin, right? As a tool and then especially people who have it in natural Gary V is one of those guys, right? He said how he was Like it was wasn't his for his parents.  So he's aware where the boundaries are, you know, I'm saying like But it's it's a natural trait and it's dangerous, you know, as long as you recognize that it helps It helps but all of these things are Like really important. I think Not just for the artists many of them for the team as well, right? Like because let's go to networking. Bam. We know like you're new managers, especially right? They need to be heavy on networking far more than the artists, right? Of course we talked about likeability, but Execution, of course, right to roll out all these things that need to be done being on tour All those things that need to be done and then showmanship You know, that's a that's like a little extra for somebody like a manager or whatever on the back end and like how they go about the business and Understanding how to do your rollouts with flair or let the rest of the industry know or put them on notice with flair There's a lot of you know, we've seen rollouts like that. Yeah, or things being done Like all day the way they move is is special. I have a little showmanship about about yourself can definitely Take things to another level Let me see But is there anything else you wanted to say on this before we go on to the next topic? Because we got a lot of things for y'all today, especially on youtube The platforms on general there's a lot of updates and ways y'all should be thinking about the platform So we're going to drop some some crazy gems On those but yeah jacquory before we move on is there something you want to add on to this analogy Nothing to add man. Just shout a berry again for for the gems man. You know, he gave us a great great topic Always appreciated a topic man. Always appreciate a topic. He keeps throwing those out man. We might I'm making a regular. That's what I'm saying. Make him like, yeah Like berry segment. I gotta we gotta figure out a catchy catchy name for that or have them Have them on which would be dope.  So if you want to be a gem seeker collect all the gems Keep watching. I'll see you in the next clip


They've only got different separates, Bradford City and Highpool United. The Bantams can see with the last few goals of Buster Rovers on Saturday, which denied them a win. Manager Derek Adams makes one change to the team, with Matthew Foltz coming in a get-back. Foles have yet to win away this season. They failed to score their last five on the road. The latest setback, a two-nil defeat at Salford. Manager Derek Chandler has won the changes as well. There's five below with Luke Hendry, Mark Shelton, Luke Monningley, Mark Cullis, Gavin Conner, all the fields to the starting level. First league meeting, with nearly 16 years between these two. The first step, Rovers away from home, behind them. And here's Cullin, onto the loose ball! And Highpool United have a very early lead, 49 seconds under the clock. That's how to deal with your problems away from home. Good pass from Monningley. Keeper spills the cross, Cullin is there, turns and forces it home. Really good start for the visitors. It's gone for it, the first-time shot, flashes wide, central midfield. It's all a bit strappy. Bradford come away with it. Goldkeeper, very grateful to drop on the ball. He's going so far, straight at the goalkeeper. Breathe though, look at this control. Just the wrong side of the upright, what a good chance that was. Beats O'Connor, he loses out, tackles a flying in. And with the cross, still there for Bradford. Save the second time, from three shots to a target. Nearly shot, another opportunist goal from him. Need to get back in this game, it's the 20 minutes to play. Two-goal lead, looks to see it in. Smoke, another skipper, powerful header by Shelton. Great, away with the ball, only just over the crossfire. Took a nick on the way through, and a head as well. Here, and Songo has put through his own goal. The points surely are hearty pulls. Yan Songo, trying to intercept the cross, has beaten his own keeper. Heartful players celebrate with their travelling fans. Hundreds have made the journey, looks like it may be a worthwhile one. The first time this season, they raced into an early lead, good to see a mark calling, and he doubled the lead on the hour. Bradford skipper, pull the O'Connor, pulled one back with 18 minutes to play, but right at the end, Yan Songo put through his own lead. Joy for Dave Chaliner, his hearty pull players, and the travelling fans, they move three points clear of Bradford. Bradford City won, hearty pull united, three.


Hello and welcome to this presentation of the iCache module which is embedded in all products of the STM32L5 microcontroller family. The Instruction Cache or iCache is introduced on the CAHB code bus of Cortex M33 processor to improve performance when fetching instructions and data from both internal and external memories. It implements a slave port connected to the Cortex M33C bus and two master ports connected to the AHB5 bus matrix. The purpose of the Instruction Cache is to cache instruction fetches or instruction memories loads coming from the processor. As such, iCache only manages read transactions and doesn't manage write transactions. The iCache supports two configurations, two-way set associative cache or direct mapped. The memory address remap capability enables accesses to external memories to be steered to the C bus instead of the S bus. The iCache contributes to reducing power consumption. Accessing the small internal iCache memory in case of a cache hit consumes less than reading from flash memory or external memories. A software configuration of iCache as direct mapped allows even lower power consumption. The iCache supports memory address remapping for up to four address regions. This improves bus transaction concurrency as accesses to external memories are performed using the C bus instead of the S bus. The cache line size is 16 bytes. The replacement algorithm is sudo least recently used based on a binary tree and critical word first-burst ordering minimizes the latency of the instruction or data requested by the processor. Two performance counters provide statistics about the utilization of the iCache. A hardware sequencer activated by software is in charge of invalidating the entire contents of the iCache. Dual master access is a feature used to decouple the traffic according to targeted memory. For example, iCache assigns fast traffic, i.e. addressing flash and SRAM memories to the AHB Master 1 port, and slow traffic, i.e. addressing external memories sitting on OctoSBI and FMC interfaces to the AHB Master 2 port, thus preventing processor stalls on line refills from external memories. This allows interrupt service routine fetching on internal flash memory to take place in parallel with a cache line refill from external memory. The non-remapped traffic goes systematically to Master 1 port. For any remapped region, traffic can be routed to either Master Port 1 or Master Port 2. The iCache flags an error and possibly asserts an interrupt request whenever it detects unexpected cacheable write accesses. An interrupt request can also be asserted upon completion of the cache invalidation sequence. The iCache doesn't manage AHB bus errors on Master 1 or Master 2 transactions, but propagates them back to their execution port that received the initial C bus transaction. The ARM V8M default mapping and also the MPU define the cache attribute that the iCache uses to determine whether a lookup has to be performed. Two conditions have to be satisfied to perform the cache lookup. AHB lookup attribute asserted and iCache enabled. In case of a non-cacheable access, iCache is bypassed, meaning that the AHB transaction is propagated and changed to the Master Output port, except for the transaction address which may be modified due to the address remapping feature. The bypass and eventually remap logic doesn't increase the latency of the access to the targeted memory. iCache is disabled at boot. This slide details the cache organization in the two possible configurations, two-way set associative and direct mapped. In two-way set associative mode, each way contains 256 lines of 16 bytes. Thus, the four LSBS of the address represent an offset within a cache line and the 8-bit index selects one entry among 256 in the tag memories and in the data memories. In direct mapped mode, the unique way contains 512 lines of 16 bytes. The index has therefore one additional bit. All cache operations, such as read, refill, remapping and invalidation, remain the same in direct mapped configuration. The only difference is the absence of a replacement algorithm in the case of a line eviction, since only one way is possible for any data refill. The other difference is for power consumption. In two-way set associative mode, both cuts of memories, way zero tags plus data and way one tags plus data, are read speculatively at each cacheable memory request. In direct mapped mode, only one hardware memory cut is accessed, the one containing the 9-bit index. So direct mapped reduces the power consumption. A complete cache invalidation occurs in three circumstances. Automatically, after iCache reset is released, when software sets the cache INV bit in the iCache CR register, when software disables the iCache by clearing the EN bit in the iCache CR register, cache invalidation is performed by a hardware sequencer that sets the busy F bit until invalidation is completed. The Bsy and F flag is set upon completion of the invalidation procedure and can be used to assert an interrupt request. Software must test busy F and or Bsy and F values before enabling the iCache. Otherwise, if iCache is enabled before the end of an invalidate procedure, any cache access, while busy F still at one, is treated as non-cacheable. iCache is placed on CAHB bus and thus caches the code memory region, ranging from address 0x0 to 0x1FFFFFF of the memory map. In order to make some other memory regions cacheable, iCache supports a memory region remapping feature. Up to four external memory regions can be defined, whose addresses have an alias in the code region. Addressing these external memory regions through their code alias address allows the memory request to be routed to the CAHB bus and to be managed by iCache. Typically, any external memory space physically mapped at an address somewhere in the range 0x60 million to 0x9FFFF can be aliased with an address in range 0x0 to 0x07FFFF or 0x10 million to 0x1FFFFFF. The remapping functionality is also available for non-cacheable traffic and when cache is disabled. The burst type of AHB memory transactions for remapped regions is programmable, INCR for increment or RAP. A cache line is aligned on its size. RAP for burst ordering minimizes the latency of the instruction or data explicitly requested by the processor. The word containing the data targeted by the address driven by the processor will be transferred first. It's called the critical word because it contains the information actually needed by the processor. The remaining words are then transferred using the RAP ordering. For instance, if the word number 3 is transferred first, there's a RAP to the beginning of the cache line and the sequence of words that follows is word 0, word 1 and word 2. In INCR mode, it's the same word ordering, word 0, word 1, word 2, word 3, whatever the read request address at line A, at line A plus 4, at line A plus 8 or at line A plus C. The software can program the kind of AHB burst that is generated by iCache masterports. Typically, RAP for remapped external memories accessed through the OCTO-SPI interface, INCR burst mode for external memories accessed through the FSMC interface that doesn't support RAP burst mode. The hit and the miss capability is the ability to serve processor requests for an access to cache data during an ongoing line refill due to a previous cache miss. In step one, the Cortex-M33 requests data contained in a cache line that is not currently in the cache. A cache lookup is performed because the region containing the target address is assumed to be cacheable, accessible from C-Bus and iCache is active. The result of this lookup is a cache miss. Consequently, the iCache issues a cache line read request to memory in order to acquire the cache line containing the data explicitly requested by the processor. In step two, the memory returns the cache line and forwards the critical word to the processor, data i. At the same time, the processor issues a second request targeting the same cache line. In step three, the iCache detects this occurrence and delivers the corresponding data to the processor, thus avoiding a cache miss. The hit and the miss feature consists in serving a hitting request just after the previous miss without waiting for the complete refill of the cache line. The hit monitor counts the AHB transactions at the input of iCache execution port that do not generate a transaction on iCache Output Master 1 or Master 2 port. It also takes into account the hit and the miss events. The miss monitor counts the AHB transactions at the input of the iCache execution port that generates a transaction on iCache Output Master 1 or Master 2 port. It also takes into account all accesses whose address is not present in either the tag memory or the refill buffer. These counters do not wrap over when they reach their maximum value. They can be dynamically enabled and disabled by software, which is useful for analyzing specific pieces of code. The iCache has one interrupt request output, but two sources of interrupts. Error detection on cacheable write request, flag is S-R-E-R-R-F, end of invalidate operation, flag is B-S-Y and F. Each interrupt source has independent status, enable and clear bits. iCache implements an ARMv8-M trust zone. iCache registers are protected at system level, enabling only secure software to access them when trust zone is enabled. The temp module can autonomously trigger the erasure of the contents of the iCache for security reasons. iCache is clocked by the Cortex-M33 CAHB bus clock. So it has the same clock domain as the Cortex-M33 core, the same clock frequency and the same behavior during low power modes. When disabled, iCache is bypassed except for the remapping mechanism that is still functional. The code bus input requests, remapped or not, are just forwarded to the master ports. To reduce power consumption, the hit and miss monitors are disabled by default. They are to be used only during code debug and optimization. This is a list of peripherals related to the iCache.

Coming up on DTNS. Do we need augmented reality with our television shows phone form factors keep trying to impress us? But do they and why it actually makes sense for Microsoft to acquire tiktok? This is the Daily Tech news for Wednesday, August 26th 2020 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt and triumphantly back at studio Redwood I'm Sarah Lee City. I'm Scott Johnson And I'm Roger Shane the show's pretty We just uncovered the secret history of Captain Crunch if you want that and more You got to become a member patreon.com DTNS and get the full show good day internet. Let's start with a few tech things you should know Xiaomi reported its profit more than doubled in q2 and overseas sales have returned to pre-pandemic levels Revenue rose 3.1 in the quarter ending june 30th while sales rose to 53.54 billion won Or 7.7 7 7 billion u.s.

That's interesting Poking a poking the mad horse DJI announced the new om4 camera stabilization product om4 now features a magnetic attachment system an adhesive or side on excuse me slide on accessory Attaches to the phone to enable a magnetic attachment the gimbal has multiple upgraded shooting modes And a upgrade to the active track to better distinguish between subjects Including people and their pets gesture control comes from dji's drones as well The om4 is available now for $150 us And android authority published a video of lg's forthcoming phone the wing The wing is a dual screen phone with each screen on top of the other So the top one can rotate open into a t shape and yes lg Had a feature phone that did this like back in the early to mid 2000s in the video that android authority published the lower screen can show controls like a keyboard While the main phone in the horizontal mode shows your main thing like your browser or your map lg has yet to confirm the device Well speaking of phones that uh, I don't know we're getting creative here Is this is zen phone 7 and 7 pro feature a more durable version of its rotating rear camera That can flip over to take selfies But now also includes an extra zoom lens as well as an oled display and a 90 uh hertz refresh rate It still has the 5000 milliamp battery Which is very good the phone is on sale in taiwan with the zen phone 7 at 21 990 new taiwanese dollars Which is around 749 us dollars and the zen phone 7 pro at 27 990 new taiwanese dollars, which is around us 953 dollars the phones will come to select at european market september 1st with pricing yet to be announced I Okay, so the zen phone feature isn't new but they said they made it like twice as durable So instead of 100 000 flips of the camera It's 200 000 but that idea that I would get the same camera selfie or front facing Or rear facing I guess uh is is cool. I like that. Yeah more moving parts makes me nervous You know, but I do like the idea that oh, I don't have to have a notch I don't have to compromise on my selfie camera being any different than my other camera It didn't really like light the world on fire with the zen phone 6 So maybe I you know a little oled and 90 hertz refresh rate probably isn't going to change that But maybe the more durability. Well, I don't know. This is a good phone. It's well reviewed Yeah, I mean I think the folks who are sort of like well you want a rear and a front facing I mean what really ever took advantage of that besides a couple of apps that you know We're able to you know, take a photo, you know front and back at the same time or video kind of thing A fun novelty, but most people don't use the phone that way So to have a single camera that works in the array that you wanted to that is you know of high quality That does make a lot of sense as long as it doesn't you know, you know, pinch off in your pocket Yeah, I agree. I also I mean this is a side note But I don't like it when these guys tell me how many times I can do a thing or how many charges I can charge a thing even though it's astronomical numbers 200 000 times a lot of times I hate knowing there's a finite number or a close to finite number. Don't tell them the odds. I really don't I hate it. I would rather believe it. Just make me believe it will forever Yeah, I don't have to think about it anymore because then I'll just think of that number Did I do that five times today?  I wonder what that does to my total. It's just my brain I'll admit it, but I don't like it No, no, I don't think he's alone either. Yeah Yeah, well I lost a little of the thread of my thought there because I meant to say I really like the Zenfone flip over camera thing is an idea the LG wing on the other hand Not so much. I got nothing. I don't know. Listen the 10 second video that I saw of it being In a car, I was like, well, that's kind of nice If you don't have a car that has kind of a you know in-screen display that would do a lot of that stuff already and a lot of cars don't yet so sure but Yeah, it is it is a rotating nightmare to me Just put your regular phone and landscape mode in your car. Like, I don't know Yeah, right Time time will tell if anyone wants that thing The web version of microsoft word for microsoft 365 subscribers is getting a recording transcription feature at no additional charge New features are always nice users can either record audio or upload an audio file and then have it transcribed Live audio will be transcribed within moments while uploads may take a little bit longer Depending on the length of that recording users can transcribe unlimited live audio and five hours a month of uploaded audio files Microsoft plans to expand the feature to phones and tablets But it's not mentioned plans to add it to any desktop version of word Yeah, it takes as long as the length of the recording. So if you'd upload a five minute recording It's basically gonna play it. So it's gonna take five minutes Whereas if you're talking it can it can transcribe on the fly And this is nifty I mean granted you're not really getting it for free because you had to pay for microsoft 365 But if you're already paying for microsoft 365, which most word users at this point probably are Then you've got a cool new feature That that you can add to your web version And and it's not as feature rich as say an auto ai or something dedicated at this But in the context of oh now it's built into word and I can you know take some quick notes or something I think it's handy It's also it's the kind of feature that I immediately picture business guy running through the airport sitting down having a little time between flights And saying stuff into his phone that he will transcribe and send off to his secretary While he's flying to you know, ohio for the next convention or something which isn't happening a lot right now But you know what it's like for some unfortunate reason that put the oj simpson hurts commercial in my Oh, no, what if oh well All right I probably shouldn't have even brought it up. I apologize Chromium is the code underlying most browsers Google's chrome microsoft edge opera and more and chromium has a feature called the intranet redirect detector It checks to see if an isp is using non-existent domain results to deliver pages with ads Now they're not just doing this because you don't like those pages with ads This is to prevent unnecessary drop-down choices in the address bar When your company internet has a site and your isp Is pretending like that's also a site on the web because the way the address bar works is like Oh, there's a legitimate site out there called marketing.com And you are also have an intranet site and your business called marketing. Which one do you want? Right? So there might be stuff like, you know human resources dev And if your isp is like we're any any domain name that doesn't exist We're going to deliver a page with ads for then everything you put for your intranet would give you that drop down Which would be an extra click. So that's what this feature is for to say like, oh, wait a minute if we realize that those are fake Websites and it's just a page of ads. We're not going to give you the drop-down. We'll just take you straight to your intranet site That's cool, right? To make that happen Chromium has to try three unregistered domains to see if it gets a page or not and then it'll know Okay, we have to we have to adapt to that. However for isps that are not hijacking unregistered domains it's trying those three domains and having to go all the way through the domain name system the dns Which we talked about on know a little more uh last week To the root server because there won't be a locally cached record of the domain because it doesn't exist Uh, that means that the top level root servers are getting crushed with chromium traffic From people using chromium that don't even know this feature exists that aren't on an intranet Ars Technica notes that verisign statistics indicate this adds half the total load on root servers An open bug in the chromium project request making the intranet redirect detector be off By default that way if your isp doesn't deliver these fake Pages with ads or if you're not somebody using an intranet you don't send a bunch of traffic to the root domain name servers Now i don't have a ton of questions other than I think you did a really good job of explaining that and that's a boring topic. I don't mean It's a great topic for the show. I've said this before the show and i'll say it now Great topic perfect for tech news But tom has a way of taking the mundane of the daily tech news and making it interesting So I just want to say and also the takeaway is like this should be off by default to Yes Cut down on everyone being like what is happening right now, you know with this browser that's supposed to be really great So there you go. Yep Bloomberg sources say apple plans to add augmented reality content to a To its or sorry as a companion to its apple tv plus tv shows So some of that programming over there characters or objects From the shows would be overlaid on the real world as seen through your phone As an example of you or for all mankind could see a lunar rover on their coffee table that sort of thing When they're looking through their phone or their ipad we were talking about for the show This is very likely precursor stuff to maybe a future headset that's been rumored forever anyway And that's maybe the more interesting implementation that your phone in the room somewhere Yeah, and honestly, I mean, I hate to be you know be like, uh, this sounds stupid and and I love vr Like i'm a vr enthusiast ar almost like I need more I don't know. I I need it to be proven a little bit more to me. I'm sort of like Okay. Well, I watch a lot of content on my apple tv You know, I'm in the apple ecosystem in many ways I sometimes airplay things from my phone to my Apple tv again, you know that kind of thing so ar like what am I getting exactly like Information about the actors who might be in a particular show that I'm watching It could be delivered nicely, but it could be just Like one of these things where it's like we did it because we could and everyone's like no one asked for this I don't know. I I'm not sure Well, and that's the thing this is bloomberg and mark ermann who has good sources Saying this it's not there yet. So we don't know what they have apple's usually pretty good about not launching a feature Unless there's a at least a story they can tell about why you would want it Uh, so launching this before there's a headset I'm very curious to see what they're gonna say like oh, you could you could see the director's commentary and through your phone You'll see the director standing there talking to you or or maybe there is additional Content to the plot that happens off your television screen and in your room That might be fun all of those things feel like going back to what you said Scott feel better If you actually had a headset on rather than having to hold up your phone or your iphone There is one case where I was thinking about this before the show and I've it's formulated a little better in my mind How I could envision it, but let's say you're watching something that's very special effects oriented And on screen is some sort of huge monstrous creature That's clearly been built out of CGI or something To be able to pause the movie because you'd want to do that That's the other thing is you don't want to miss the movie or the tv show you're watching right right And then look at my table and see a fully formed model of that object And then I can kind of look around it and and and then if I go around the back I see the back's missing and there's text there that says since the back of the monster was never shown It was never Then it gets interesting then I'm like ooh info I never would have heard otherwise that yeah, I could get in some extra features documentary style or something But I don't know that some of that stuff appeals to me The ar is good enough on phones that you'd get the kind of fidelity and quality quality that you're looking for But ultimately it still feels like a precursor to I want this on my head And I want it to be small and I want it to be unobtrusive and just kind of a natural flow while I'm watching things And maybe that's what I think I figured it out. I think I cracked it Clothing and furniture when you're watching for all mankind set in the the 60s and you're like man, that's a cool retro coffee table What do I look like in my house? Well, you just told how to monetize it. That's not that way. We just give them more reason to make money Yeah, and now Hubble will know why do they ever come out with any technology? But also, you know for anybody who's sort of like, but why would they come out with a technology A year plus ahead of you know an ar headset. Let's say that's happening, right? I mean, it's a little bit like Uh before the apple watch there were a lot of things that a phone could do And people kind of got used to that but it was maybe a little bit cumbersome And then it was like now we have this new gadget that makes all the things that you want to do better better So I think there's you know, there's build up the appetite for it. That's exactly Okay Well, um, did anyone remember fortnight? In this show to date Yeah, I know the new season of fortnight still exists everybody arrives on august 27th highly anticipated but because apple is blocking fortnight from the app store The new season can't be added to existing ios versions of the game and epic seems to have decided not to update macOS versions Either as a result epic will no longer let folks Pardon me playing on ios or macOS cross play with other versions of fortnight. They'll be able to Continue to play against each other But again cross-platform gets weird. Yeah, so fracturing of the world's you if you're in the apple ecosystem You can play with each other on the old season if you're not you can play with each other across all the other platforms windows Xbox etc android I I'm sure there might be a reason where epic said look We could put this in the mac os version because technically we don't go through the app store but That legally might be fraught with peril because it would you know Put us in danger of a developer agreement and it's already dangerous enough I do think it it feels like they're they're just saying like well, you know If apple's going to be like this about the way we're being Then we're just not going to let anybody get the new season on on anything Um, but that said given that I mean epic could change this anytime they want They could take away the alternate payment system from fortnight and apple will unblock it So you can decide who you want to blame but given that fortnight isn't Uh available to be updated for the new season through the apple app store Cutting it off from the rest of the platform seems like the only choice You don't want to have people wandering into each other in two different seasons The messed up thing about this in my mind is that on the pc side Well, actually in the in the cross-platform Ability of the of the game since its inception. That was one of their big spearheaded ideas They were like good. Look, we're gonna we're gonna get away from this idea of these walled separate gardens Everybody in ps4 is playing ps4 people everybody on pc's playing pc We're gonna make it work with everybody and a lot of people didn't believe it would work But it did you had foam people playing with pc people and and everything else in between This feels like going back on their own You know big idea that everything should be in one big pile one server to serve them all sort of idea and instead They've had to I mean this means they've literally had to set up Virtual servers or actual servers to run older versions of the of the build In in the meantime and that's just it's weird compared to what their plans were Yeah, which means they are at least trying to support the players on apple Who who still have the app on their phones and and not they could have just said well You're you're out of luck complain to apple, right? So they they did go that far Folks if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes Be sure to subscribe the daily tech headlines.com Andrew ross sorkin and mike isaac from the new york times published an in-depth look How microsoft got pulled into possibly buying part or all of tiktok It's been going on longer than you think according to their sources and they have like a dozen more sources The us committee on foreign investment began an investigation into bite dance in november We talked about this last november on dts What we didn't know is that bite dance investors sequoia and general lannick began acting then as go-betweens With bite dance the company they're investing in and the us administration What they determined was the us said it wanted bite dance to reduce its ownership in tiktok Restructure corporate governance. That's something the us successfully got zte to do And move all the us data to us based servers remember tiktok says that all the data is on us servers But it's also backed up in singapore. They're like no no more singapore all of it on in us So bite dance turned to microsoft as a us partner not under antitrust scrutiny That could help them meet those conditions plus bite dance ceo zhang yiming is a former microsoft engineer talks with microsoft began in july so before all this stuff broke and in part began And in part because of us china tensions microsoft and bite dance We're talking about microsoft taking a minority investment. They're like an acquisition would probably Not fly it would be it bring too much attention microsoft really just hope to get tiktok off google cloud and on to azure as i've been saying This would fulfill the us conditions. They bite dance would be reducing their investment They could probably do the government restructure without microsoft But then they microsoft would help them move all the data into the us Reduced ownership by bite dance and us data on us azure servers would be the thing that would be a win-win for bite dance and microsoft So it looked like everything was just a matter of dot nines and cross and t's but as talks went on microsoft realized they advantage of owning tiktok and especially tiktok data That tiktok data would be especially beneficial for microsoft's data science arm in training machine learning As well as a benefit to microsoft's advertising business Don't forget they sell ads on msn and bing and other things they make about seven million dollars off of advertising So the two companies started to see an acquisition as maybe a cleaner option after all And that scenario microsoft would let tiktok run as a standalone unit similar to how linkedin and moyang moyang Which makes micro minecraft run right now under microsoft. They would just buy tiktok and let it do its thing on july 31st The committee on foreign investment analysis was done And the recommendation at that time was that bite dance be ordered to sell tiktok to a us owner and they had one ready microsoft Chinese shareholders would only be allowed to keep a minority investment And that's what bite dance wanted they're like we'll sell it to tiktok We'll just keep a small cut of it And this seemed to fit into the microsoft bite dance plans perfectly However, the president and many of his advisors wanted to go farther and instead Decided to ban tiktok entirely The president called sachin adela gave him 45 days to complete a deal which has now been extended But at the time that's what happened adding that bite dance should retain no ownership now And the deal should benefit the government some way such as job creation or other economic benefits if not a payment into the treasury somehow Now this article also says oracle is now interested That many bankers and investors have tried to get twitter and netflix involved So if you've heard twitter's name that might be why it may not be the twitter's interested It's that people are trying to get them interested But microsoft microsoft is still the furthest along in these acquisitions Are these talks i read this times article and the part that um That really was educational for me was um, i've been trying to figure out since the lawsuit was filed against the administration What the motivation was is that standard is that tiktok's way of going Ah, we got to fight it somehow or you know, I just didn't know don't follow the stuff I know to know for sure But in that article it made it pretty clear that 45 days is not a lot of time to do anything Uh in in regards to the transference of ownership of gigantic and it's since been extended to 90 days Which still isn't a lot still not a lot of time like even in the tiny companies i've worked for before Timeframes are either needed to be fluid or if there was a deadline sometimes It meant we were going to kill ourselves to get there and and I and I can't imagine even in 90 days How this is going to go at all smoothly So my biggest takeaway from all of this is I think there's a solution Someone's gonna this is going to end up happening and microsoft's probably going to be where it ends up All of that stuff that everybody's predicting is probably true I just don't think they've given it enough time to do it and maybe they can still extend that Maybe this lawsuit is a way of well the article argues that that may be a stull tactic And it may be the only they have so if it is then then great But I just think they need time and I don't mean just tiktok. I mean microsoft needs time and They've had more time than I thought they had since this started into live That's still not a lot extra though And yeah, if they can get a temporary restraining order on the executive order while they litigate it That's all they need they just need to say hey You can't enforce that executive order until we've finished our court case even if they lose the court case And the executive order goes into effect I mean Clearly the situation is fluid and Who knows at this point? I mean it changes by the day But it does kind of bring me back to when microsoft was first floated as May by tiktok. I mean a lot of us were like, what? Why When did this happen and it turns out, you know, there's more to the story Which often happens with acquisitions that seem a little, you know out of the blue So, you know, there's there's more to it and it gets deeper into How microsoft's got a lot of stuff into there in their arsenal Including the money to do it and also the lack of scrutiny in terms of, you know Anti-competitiveness and all that stuff right now, but they also lack severely in the social data department and So I think that's an important key thing here is that microsoft one of their things microsoft really wants out of the deal If they get the deal or what they would want is all this social data That they can then use to build stuff and that's what everybody wants right now And honestly what they want most is somebody paying for azure or being able to show off azure running a service as big as tiktok, right? That's number one whether they keep it or not then the fact that they have a model with linkedin and minecraft Okay, so we know how they might run it. Just let it go, you know, they they wouldn't mess with it That seems to have worked very well for both of those units And then they could spin it off if they want keep it as an azure client But I hadn't thought about the data science stuff and I I definitely hadn't thought about the advertising aspect of it That could be a huge boon for microsoft's advertising service, which isn't small But it's not on the level of google and facebook Yeah, and in 90 days if they can pull it off that suddenly becomes very big yeah Well, if you have thoughts on this or anything else you can join a conversation in our discord going on right now 24 seven in fact and you can join by linking to a patreon account at patreon.com Slash ttns. Let's check out the mail bag. Oh Let's chris wrote in and said I want to thank ttns for not calling services apps This is something that you know Gets chris's goat. He says I occasionally hear a slip up But other prominent publications call the many services we use apps the zoom app the tiktok app It greatly confuses users into thinking that the square on their phone contains the totality of what is encompassed In an extensive complex services available in many sovereign territories The app economy died with the three dollar flashlight app remember that one It is reminiscent of the late 1990s when people would refer to services like ebay as web pages chris says I think it would be a great Know a little more segment to help people understand a little bit more about the app on their phone Being just a view like logging into a website into a service that has many complexities Yeah, I mean I try to only talk about it as an app when we're talking about it as an app Like when we're talking about oh, they would put the app on the store that sort of thing So chris i'm with you there It is more than a service and it reminded me of explaining The web to sherry tornatory at half price books in 1997 and she was like so where is this website? And i'm like it's out there like she was so used to installed software It was it had to it was a change in perception to be like what do you mean out there out where So, yeah, this is a fun one to apply to the to the whole fortnight mess because if you think about it applies Not just this is not a not a game or an app on your phone It's a service that that that game is a window to Yeah, it's the same thing so the app is blocked, but the service still exists out there You just can't get to it. Yeah, right And also big jim writes regarding companies moving their electronics factories to mexico Jim says It's actually nothing new that companies are looking to do what we call short shipping But honestly it has little to do with the free trade agreement and more to do with lead times Accountability and inventory reduction China and asia are still much cheaper to produce in and even with the section 301 tariffs Many suppliers to companies are simply eating the difference with the long-term goal of stabilizing the market and writing things out What most u.s. Companies are having issues with are the delays in the logistics area and the increased costs that affect their While just in time models I expect to actually see more development in south america because of this unless us development in africa in the medium term So so jim is saying look it's it's more about logistics It's more about getting that stuff here fast and when when you're you know in short shipping That means you get stuff here faster. Thank you jim He also pointed us to a story from freight waves that shows us imports from china are booming even During the trade war and the lockdown because people are spending less money on services like travel and eating out And more money on stuff like furniture for your home office or home improvement interesting Well, shout out to patrons at our master and grand master levels including rick hubner martin dames And de grassier a daniels also thanks to the one the only scone johnson Scott you're a busy man.

Hi, this is Dr. Ruscio, and let's talk about thyroid autoimmunity and what level of thyroid antibodies is considered healthy. Now, in case you're not privy to this already, thyroid autoimmunity is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in most westernized countries, and this typically manifests as a process known as Hashimoto's. And this certainly is something that we want to be, you know, common enough because the level of thyroid autoimmunity has been shown to correlate with, of course, hypothyroidism and also with thyroid cancer. So if one does or doesn't have thyroid autoimmunity present, it's important for us to know. Yes. And there are some well-established treatments for this that we've talked about in different videos and posts. Diet is one. Gluten-free diet and, in a recent study, a lower carbohydrate diet have both been able to show the ability, or shown the ability, to be able to quite dramatically dampen thyroid autoimmunity. There's also different nutritional supplements that can be used. Most notably, there is a protocol using selenium, CoQ10, and magnesium that's shown benefit. And vitamin D has also shown benefit in clinical trials being able to lower thyroid autoimmunity. Additionally, there is one noteworthy study in the treatment of H. pylori, a stomach bacteria, and the ability of successful treatment of H. pylori to be able to lower thyroid antibodies and those with thyroid autoimmunity. And one case study after the treatment of blastocystis hominins, a gut bug like a protozoa, that can also help with thyroid autoimmunity. So there's definitely some treatments that can help with lowering thyroid autoimmunity. And reason was suggest, since elevations correlate with negative outcomes like hypothyroidism and thyroid cancer, reason was suggest that lowering thyroid antibodies would be a good idea. Certainly not a hard argument to make. But the one important thing that often gets maybe left out of this conversation or is overlooked or there's confusion regarding is when have you succeeded in trying to lower your thyroid antibodies? This is a key question. And what I have observed is oftentimes patients are quite distraught if they can't get their thyroid antibodies down to the normal range. Now normal is usually defined as at or below 30 or 35 for the most clinically relevant antibody known as TPO or thyroid peroxidase, a lab test that can be done in any doctor's office in any major lab, what have you. Now I've been saying for the past few years that in my observation 100 to 300 on the TPO antibodies is what I would call a clinical win. Recently there was a study published that did a fantastic job of trying to quantify when or what, what is a healthy level of antibodies and when can you maybe stop trying to treat the antibodies so to speak. And they found that 500 for TPO antibodies was a cut off, meaning those who were below 500 had a incredibly low risk of future progression to hypothyroidism and a subgroup of these patients was followed for a little over six years, so it was a decent follow up window. But even the people who were above 500 still only had a moderate risk so it's important to understand that 500 showed a pretty favorable outcome in these patients and that if you're a patient or if you're a doctor working with your patients and if someone has come from let's say 700, 800, 1200, 1400 for their TPO antibodies and now they're hovering somewhere around 1, 2, 3, 400 then that is starting to look like a clinical win. I'll be at this as one study and we don't want to make too many conclusions based upon one study, but it certainly reinforces what I've seen in the clinic is that way above 500 tends to be a warning flight that you need to act, below 500 is a sign that you don't need to keep taking vitamins or doing crazy things with your diet. You can relax a little bit and not be so concerned about the autoimmune condition because it seems that the autoimmune process is in a pretty good place. Don't aim for perfection underneath 30 to 35, aim for what seems to be a reasonable endpoint or a reasonable level which is below 500 if you really want to be meticulous maybe below 300 according to my speculative general range. But the main point of this whole issue is not to be feeling like you chronically have to be pursuing a lower and lower and lower level of thyroid antibodies thinking that it's going to have a health benefit because what it looks like is that if you're frankly elevated it's a problem above 500 a problem. If you're below 500 then you're in pretty good condition and you don't have to worry about being at heightened risk for major problems with your thyroid gland. In fact you don't even show, there's a minimal chance that you'll even progress to hypothyroidism. So hopefully this helps people out there who have thankfully become cognizant of the fact that thyroid autoimmunity is something that needs to be incorporated into a thyroid health care plan but also helps them realize when they can not have to worry about continuing treatment and trying to drive the antibodies down lower. A win could be considered anything below 500. If you're significantly above 500 you probably want to take action. If you've been hovering lower than 500 for a while then you're probably in pretty good shape. So this is Dr. Ruscio and I hope this information helps you get healthy and get back to your life. Thanks.


For the most part, the position of stars is virtually identical from century to century. But a very small number of relatively nearby stars show dramatic motion across the sky. This is called proper motion. This magnitude can be measured using the number of degrees moved and the distance to the star. Motion towards us or away from us is called radial motion. We define it as positive if the star is moving away and negative if it is moving closer. For nearby stars, this motion can be detected by using parallax techniques. With these two numbers, the total star motion with respect to the sun can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem. For example, here's Barnard's star. It's a dim red star with significant proper and radial motion. It's moving so fast that it's called a runaway star. Here's a look at Barnard's star, photographed in 1985. Its parallax measurement indicates that its distance was 5.98 light years. In this second photograph, taken 20 years later in 2005, we see that the star has moved 200 arc seconds across the sky. That's 10 seconds of arc across the sky each year. This is its proper motion. Its new distance is 5.94 light years, which gives us its radial motion. Combined, we get the full motion of the star with respect to the sun. It moves 19.1 billion kilometers each year. That's 11.9 billion miles. So you can see why it's called a runaway star. In fact, Barnard's star is approaching us so rapidly that around 11,700 AD, it will be 3.8 light years from the sun. And that would make it the closest star to our own.

Close friends, a great house in suburban Atlanta, and a successful career as a mystery writer. Only one thing is missing, a special woman to share it with. But as Andrew will find out, it often pays to be careful what you wish for. And now, Within the Shadows. At half past seven o'clock on the evening of May 15th, Andrew Wilson was riding back to Atlanta with his father, only a few minutes away from the accident that would change his life forever. Immersed in thought, Andrew gazed out the passenger side window of the Ford Expedition. A thunderstorm was brewing. Like an advancing army, a front of dark clouds chased away the sunlight.  Far in the distance, lightning slashed the horizon. Sighing, Andrew turned away from the window and glanced at his father behind the steering wheel. Looks like a storm's coming. Andrew said, stating the obvious. Sure is, Dad said. We'll have to cut right through it. Thunder grumbled, a sound that echoed in Andrew's bones. Pondering something else to say, and hesitant to speak the thoughts that weighed on his mind, Andrew studied his father. Almost six feet tall, Raymond West was lean and muscular, with big hands that could palm a basketball as easily as a cantaloupe. He had a cinnamon complexion, laugh lines delicately drawn into his youthful face. His salt-and-pepper hair was trimmed short. His goatee was so meticulously cut, it might have been sketched with a fine pencil. Dapper, as always, his father wore a tan polo shirt, khakis, and a Kangol golf hat. A sleek Movado watch glimmered on one sinewy wrist, a gold bracelet sparkled on the other. Whenever Andrew looked at his father, he had the impression of viewing himself twenty years older. Sensing his scrutiny, Dad turned. His deep brown eyes were curious. Something on your mind, son? Just wanted to say that I had fun this weekend. A knot formed in his throat. For a moment, he was unable to say another word, and he had left much unsaid. He wasn't accustomed to sharing positive comments with his dad about their relationship. They drove on Interstate 16, heading back to Atlanta after spending a day and a half in Savannah. They'd arrived on the coast late Friday afternoon, had dinner at a seafood restaurant, and rose the next morning for a seven o'clock tea time. After playing 18 holes, they hung out at the clubhouse, ate an early dinner, napped at the hotel, and hit the road to return home. It was the longest duration of time that Andrew had spent with his father in 19 years. The experience left him with a lot that he wanted to say, but he lacked the words to adequately express himself. It frustrated him. He was a writer. He'd published three suspense novels to growing a claim, had ditched his computer programmer job to write full time, and had never looked back. He earned his living with words, but right then he felt no more articulate than a newborn baby. A pitchfork of lightning stabbed the earth, followed by a burst of thunder. Wind rattled the elms and maples that flanked the highway. We had a good time, Dad grinned. I'm not such a bad guy to hang with, am I? Andrew cleared his throat, breaking up the lump there. You're all right for an old man. Oh, man, huh? This old man spanked you out there. You got some lucky shots.  That was a once-in-a-lifetime game. All in the days worked for a scratch player like me, young buck. Dad smiled. Wanna bet it happens next time? Aw, man, you know? Thought so, Andrew said. Dad laughed. So did Andrew. They'd done a lot of laughing together on this trip, and it felt good.
