00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:37,000 Richard I, also known as Richard the Lionheart, was crowned King of England for the second 8 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:44,040 time after earlier surrendering his kingdom to the Holy Roman Emperor Henry V. 9 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:51,920 Richard I led a crusade to the Holy Land from 1189 to 1199, achieving notable victories 10 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,840 culminating in the Treaty of Jaffa in 1192. 11 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:02,120 Then his return was thwarted by his capture in Austria, leading to his detention by the 12 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,120 Emperor. 13 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:08,960 Richard's eventual release in 1194 followed a hefty ransom. 14 00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:10,840 So now you know. 15 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,680 And now you know what time

a strong performance from Zion Williamson, who scored a season-high 40 points, his night 61 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:31,000 ended early due to a non-contact injury, and he did not return for the final, crucial moments 62 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,880 of the game. 63 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:38,280 This win propels the Lakers into the Western Conference playoffs as the number 7 seed, 64 00:05:38,280

66 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,560 health for their next matchup. 67 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:59,920 Last night in local sports, the Padres on the road beat the Brewers 6-3. 68 00:05:59,920 -->

minimize risks like cardiovascular 72 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:32,680 disease through diet and regular health checkups, and offense, which includes maintaining physical 73 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,640

00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,120 ability to do chin-ups and push-ups at his age. 76 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:52,560 Thorpe also integrates scientific findings into his regimen, carefully managing his diet

allocated to the firm's growth 83 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:32,040 fund, focusing on late-stage investments that are nearing public offering stages or require 84 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,480 significant

supporting national interests, such as aerospace and education. 87 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,600 This fundraising achievement comes at a time when venture capital activity has notably 88 00:07:53,600

camera enhancements, promising 104 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,720 a richer photography experience. 105 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:23,600 Notable upgrades include a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera that improves low-light performance 106 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:30,080 in detail, and expanded optical zoom capabilities in both Pro models, extending to at least 107 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,880 5x optical and 25x digital zoom. 108 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:41,080 Additionally, a new anti-reflective coating aims to reduce lens flare, enhancing image 109 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,480 clarity in bright conditions. 110 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:50,100 Lastly, an advanced Sony sensor in the main camera will capture twice as much light, significantly 111 00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:53,080 boosting

00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,040 twist. 116 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:21,040 Burnering equal attention from conservatives and liberals, the film challenges the division 117 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:28,440 often seen in cinematic preferences, demonstrating broad appeal in both red and blue states. 118 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:35,120 Interestingly, 50% of viewers identified as conservative and 50% as liberal, showcasing 119 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,120 its widespread resonance. 120 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:43,840 This outcome highlights the film's nuanced approach, avoiding political biases and sparking 121 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,400 conversation among diverse groups. 122 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:54,160 Not to mention it's an A24 studio production, and they make some darn good movies. 123 00:10:54,160 --> 00:11:00,000 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 124 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,440 And today, our quote comes from King Richard I. 125 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,920 And the king known as Lionheart said, 126 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:12,680 Even the bravest of us loath war, And those who long for it, 127 00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:16,440 Are the most dangerous. 128 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,040 And that's a wrap for this morning. 129 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:25,220 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial
