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 --> 00:00:51,900 Richard I led a crusade to the Holy Land from 1189 to 1199, achieving notable victories 10 00:00:51,900 --> 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 --> 00:01:10,860 So now you know. 15 00:01:10,860 --> 00:01:13,680 And now you know what time

Charge on your receipt or a CRV label on the container. 55 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:56,480 Despite this, new additions won't require a CRV label until July of 2025. 56 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:02,080 Recycling centers will only accept items with this CRV notation and advise against removing 57 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:10,000 labels to ensure proper redemption. 58 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,160 Now on to sports. 59 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:18,520 In a dramatic NBA play-in game, the Los Angeles Lakers managed to fend off a late rally by 60 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:24,800 the New Orleans Pelicans, securing a 110-106 victory. 61 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,520 Despite a strong performance from Zion Williamson, who scored a season-high 40 points, his night 62 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:36,360 ended early due to a non-contact injury and he did not return for the final, crucial moments 63 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,240 of the game. 64 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:43,640 This win propels the Lakers into the Western Conference playoffs as the number seven seed, 65 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:48,560 where they will face the reigning champions, the Denver Nuggets. 66 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,600 The Pelicans, meanwhile, face an elimination game and the uncertainty of Williamson's 67 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,960 health for their next matchup. 68 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:05,880 Last night in local sports, the Padres on the road beat the Brewers 6-3. 69 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:12,040 Tonight, the Padres take on the Brewers for game three. 70 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:19,920 In top news, at 91, Hedward Thorpe, a legendary gambler and hedge fund manager, shares his 71 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:26,400 insights on managing longevity akin to his strategies in gambling and finance. 72 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:32,000 Thorpe emphasizes a balanced approach involving defense to minimize risks like cardiovascular 73 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:38,080 disease through diet and regular health checkups, and offense, which includes maintaining physical 74 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,040 activity and dietary habits that promote long-term health. 75 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,840 He highlights the importance of strength training and aerobic exercises that contribute to his 76 00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:52,520 ability to do chin-ups and push-ups at his age. 77 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:58,000 Thorpe also integrates scientific findings into his regimen, carefully managing his diet 78 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,920 and incorporating supplements like calcium and vitamin D to enhance his bone density, 79 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,400 showcasing a methodical approach to aging with vigor. 80 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:16,560 In business news, Andreessen Horowitz has successfully raised over $7 billion across 81 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:22,500 five funds, signaling a robust resurgence in interest for tech startup investments despite 82 00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:24,960 broader market challenges. 83 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:31,360 The largest portion of this new funding, $3.75 billion, is allocated to the firm's growth 84 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:37,480 fund, focusing on late-stage investments that are nearing public offering stages or require 85 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,880 significant capital. 86 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:45,680 Additionally, substantial investments are designated for sectors like artificial intelligence, 87 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:54,000 apps, gaming, and sectors supporting national interests, such as aerospace and education. 88 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,960 This fundraising achievement comes at a time when venture capital activity has notably 89 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:06,200 declined, with a dramatic drop in deal volume and IPO exits since 2021. 90 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:15,840 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $64,000, Ethereum is at $3,000, and Solana 91 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,760 is $137. 92 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,120 Moving on

tech. 104 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:19,540 The iPhone 16 Pro lineup is set to introduce significant camera enhancements, promising 105 00:09:19,540 --> 00:09:22,840 a richer photography experience. 106 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:28,960 Notable upgrades include a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera that improves low-light performance 107 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:35,480 in detail, and expanded optical zoom capabilities in both Pro models, extending to at least 108 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,240 5x optical and 25x digital zoom. 109 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:46,440 Additionally, a new anti-reflective coating aims to reduce lens flare, enhancing image 110 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,840 clarity in bright conditions. 111 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:55,480 Lastly, an advanced Sony sensor in the main camera will capture twice as much light, significantly 112 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,440 boosting low-light performance. 113 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,920 These features highlight Apple's commitment to advancing smartphone photography. 114 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:12,800 And in entertainment news, Civil War, an indie film by Alex Garland, opened impressively, 115 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:19,840 amassing nearly $26 million and uniting audiences across the political spectrum in an unexpected 116 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,400 twist. 117 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:26,400 Burnering equal attention from conservatives and liberals, the film challenges the division 118 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:33,840 often seen in cinematic preferences, demonstrating broad appeal in both red and blue states. 119 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:40,520 Interestingly, 50% of viewers identified as conservative and 50% as liberal, showcasing 120 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,520 its widespread resonance. 121 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:49,220 This outcome highlights the film's nuanced approach, avoiding political biases and sparking 122 00:10:49,220 --> 00:10:52,780 conversation among diverse groups. 123 00:10:52,780 --> 00:10:59,320 Not to mention it's an A24 studio production, and they make some darn good movies. 124 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:05,360 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 125 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,800 And today, our quote comes from King Richard I. 126 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,080 And the king known as Lionheart said, 127 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:18,560 Even the bravest of us loath war, And those who long for it, 128 00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:21,720 Are the most dangerous. 129 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,280 And that's a wrap for this morning. 130 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:30,200 You can
