"I heard you could talk to fish."
Aquaman is a long overlooked and underestimated superhero.
He's a founding member of the Justice League, and one of DC Comics' "Big Seven,"
and holds dominion over most of the planet.
And yet, many know him merely as a pop culture punchline.
"Aquaman, you go... talk to some fish."
[Laughter]
For a while, he was the star of a bumper on Adult Swim.
In Entourage, the mere existence of an Aquaman movie
is treated as a running joke.
"No way I'm gonna be on a 70-foot screen looking like an underwater Elton John."
So how has this oft-memed character brought us a big-budget James Wan motion picture
that's being hailed as "the best DC movie since the Dark Knight"
and "an undersea star wars?"
The secret to Aquaman's success is that he embodies a character archetype
that's resonated with humans for thousands of years:
the reluctant ruler.
"I want to be left alone."
This unwilling monarch doesn't want power, but he's destined for it --
"Father, I cannot be king of Asgard."
and it's precisely this resistance that makes him the only person for the job.
"And I'm bringing the wrath of the seven seas with me."
"I can't let that happen."
So let's take a look at Aquaman and how --
beyond all the laughs --
he shows us what it takes to be a great leader.
Before we go on, if you're new here be sure to subscribe
and click the bell to get notified about all of our new videos.
"I am no king."
Aquaman, also known as "Arthur Curry," is one of the few superheroes
who's also a king.
His superhero duties come second to the larger concerns of running a kingdom
and protecting his people.
Most superheroes feel bound to protect all people,
but this is a more abstract duty compared to feeling personally responsible
for a particular group of people --
which is like feeling the weight of parenting a whole kingdom.
In Joseph Campbell's "The Hero's Journey," the second step in the monomyth
is that the hero must "resist the call to adventure."
"You must learn the ways of the Force, if you're to come with me to Alderaan."
"Alderaan?
I'm not going to Alderaan.
I've got to go home.
It's late, I'm in for it as it is."
This refusal underlines the high stakes of what the hero's being called on to do,
and it makes the hero more relatable to the audience,
as most of us would be pretty freaked out
if asked to suddenly give up everything in our lives to go questing.
"I do not believe in fairy tales about chakras or energy or the power of belief.
There is NO such thing as spirit!"
In The Hobbit, Bilbo resists the call for 40 minutes and 32 seconds.
"We do not want any adventures here, thank you, not today, not--"
The reluctant ruler takes this resistance even further.
"I don't step up to being leader, Troy.
I reluctantly accept it when it's thrust upon me."
This is a person chosen or destined to lead,
but who feels unworthy of leadership.
"I'm no leader.
I'm not a king."
Think: Aragorn, Jon Snow, and Simba.
"You're the king!"
"Nala, we've been through this.
I'm not the king."
And it's no coincidence that Arthur Curry shares the same name
as one of the most iconic reluctant monarchs of all time --
King Arthur.
"You'll become a great legend.
They'll be writing books about you
for centuries to come."
Both Arthurs are raised by commoners away from royal court.
They learn about their new cultures from experienced mentors,
"You can't grow up without a decent education, you know."
"I already know how to swim."
"Not even close."
and prove their worthiness to the throne by obtaining legendary weapons,
Excalibur and Atlan's trident.
"In the hands of the true heir, it would unite above and below."
But, most importantly, both deny the throne.
"I don't want to be king."
"I can't be a king, Archimedes."
The reluctant monarch is typically embodied by a few noble traits.
They are raised amongst the people.
"Me?
A princess?
Shut up!"
The idea of a commoner king is prevalent in fiction
because we want a ruler we can relate to.
Someone we can have a beer with.
"They put George W. in office because he can Laura seem like
a fun couple to have a beer with."
Or, in Aquaman's case, an entire bottle of whiskey.
"It's on him."
There's also a sense that, in order to rule,
one has to suffer with their subjects to experience the difficulty of life firsthand,
and not just learn about living through books and a high-brow education.
The reluctant ruler is often unaware of their royal heritage, or keeps it hidden.
"This is no mere ranger.
He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn."
They're satisfied with a carefree existence,
"Hakuna Matata."
"What?"
but this simple lifestyle is threatened --
sometimes by a force of nature, like the White Walkers,
and sometimes by a villain who is abusing power, like Scar.
"I am a king.
I can do whatever I want."
When the hero sees the corruption caused by absolute power,
they have to face the truth that they would be a better ruler --
and there's nobody else who can take their place.
So they're forced to abandon their worry-free lives
to stop a greater evil and save their people.
In Aquaman, Arthur has to stop his half-brother Orm
from becoming Ocean Master and destroying the surface.
"The only way to stop this war is for you to take your rightful place as king."
So why are reluctant rulers so popular in stories?
As Douglas Adams wrote in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,
"It is a well-known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto,
those least suited to do it...
anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President
should on no account be allowed to do the job."
Those who pursue power for its own sake are unlikely to put the best interest of people
first.
Dictators seize control by pretending that power is thrust upon them by the people.
"I love democracy."
"Unlimited power..."
But the truly reluctant ruler is someone most of us gravitate towards --
someone we'll follow into battle.
Crucially, the reluctant ruler doesn't feel they deserve to wear the crown.
"I'm from the surface.
No one's going to take me seriously,
I don't even know where to begin."
"By winning the hearts and minds of the people,
by proving to them that you're worthy."
And this humility is important because it means they'll rule
for the people, not for themselves.
Ultimately, the reluctant ruler is defined by sacrifice.
"Billions will die unless you help us."
Ruling is a burden for which they must give up
a more pleasurable life they'd prefer --
and this is what makes them worthy of being responsible for their people.
"I came because I have no choice.
I came to save my home.
And the people that I love."
"I've never really embraced the sea or the land.
I've been a loner my whole life."
Arthur's role as monarch is even more demanding than most --
because he doesn't just have to rule;
he's tasked with uniting the two worlds of land and sea.
"You think you're unworthy to lead because you're from two different worlds.
But that is exactly why you are worthy."
In this way Aquaman fits another long standing trope in literature:
the child of two worlds.
This story usually involves a hero of mixed ancestry,
who feels like an outsider among their own kind --
like Hercules or Ambassador Spock.
"You will always be a child of two worlds."
Or the hero might come from one world but be raised in another,
like Superman or Buddy the Elf.
"It seems I'm...
I'm not an elf."
"'Course you're not.
You're 6'3'' and had a beard since you were 15."
In the film, Aquaman is
the firstborn son of Atlanna, the queen of Atlantis,
and Thomas Curry, a lighthouse keeper.
"My parents were from different worlds...
and I was the product of a love that should have never been."
The lighthouse symbolizes Arthur's dual existence
between the land and sea.
It also protects ships from colliding with the surface,
just as Arthur protects the surface from Orm's destructive plans.
The aquarium scene visually represents that Arthur is trapped between binary spaces,
the land and the sea.
The cracking glass represents Arthur himself.
He's unable to keep these two realms separate,
the only person with the power to reconcile them.
So Arthur's greatest destiny is to act as a bridge his two worlds.
"You are the bridge between land and sea."
Aquaman also shares several parallels with Moses --
another child of two worlds who never wanted to be a leader.
Both Moses and Arthur bring together several tribes to create a unified nation.
So Aquaman's reluctance makes a lot of sense,
given the enormity of what he's expected to do.
"What could be greater than a king?"
"A hero."
Even from birth the expectations placed on this baby are a little absurd.
"You could unite our worlds one day."
Arthur's selflessness gives us an example to follow in our own lives.
If we want to be leaders, we have to be in it for the right reason --
because we know we can do the best job of serving people
and building a better community.
And we must understand that being a good leader usually means giving up an easier life.
The Reluctant Ruler resonates with us because --
while we don't all have such big things expected of us --
we can relate to the dilemma of a duty we'd rather not accept,
or a difficult job we don't feel cut out for.
Aquaman shows us that our self-doubts are a good sign that we are up to the task.
Embracing what's hard can lead us into the most magical of worlds.
And there's no reason we can't have a lot of fun while we're at it.
"She didn't' have a parachute."
"Redheads, you gotta love em."

CODE LYOKO - EP103 - Missing Swimming Suits - Duration: 25:39.
I told you we were going to be late. - So is this my fault?!
Yeah!
Jeremie we're here. Sorry for being late.
Yeah, yeah, okay whaetever. Move! The others are waiting for you.
Very well, Jeremie.
Odd. William and Ulrich are on the way.
'bout time, no? I've been fighting these monsters all by mysel-AY AYAAYAY
They are attacking me from all sides!
Jeremie, we're ready.
I'll start the procedure.
Transfer William.
Transfer Ulrich
Oh no!
Jeremie, where's my backup?! - On the way, virtualization!
Holy cow, he's more persistent than Bowser after Peach!
I'm done playing, lights out! LAZER ARROWS!
Don't you dare.
Are we supposed to be scared of that?
Jeremie, the tower is being protected only by 2 tarantulas, with Odd taking care of the third. This will be so easy.
You can start your statistics program.
Very well, statistics program activated. Let's see who will deactivate the tower first.
Ulrich, Yumi. Your outfits will finally be updated in your next visit to Lyoko.
Fantastic. But why weren't they already updated in the first place?
You know Franz Hopper fixed the supercomputer but the outfit's change is something manual. I could only work on it now, sorry!
They can use their old outfits for a week and I get NOTHING.
Focus Odd. You know, your mission is help William.
Help him?! He's already far away!
I sure hope he doesn't take too long to reach the tower.
I don't know for how long I can hang on.
Oh no! Here he comes!
Jeremie I'm inside the activated tower.
Jeremie, I'm inside the activated tower.
Done!
Good job Yumi, let's watch Aelita winning. Don't take me wrong William it's just that... Aelita has way more experience.
Whatever.
Tower deactivated.
Ah... William won for 0.24 miliseconds!
So, Jeremie...? Who was the fastest?
Uh? Oh... what a shame... it's a match.
What? Jeremie I wanna see the results. - Oh..
I hope you didn't forget. This afternoon we're going to try out the new skid and destroy the Amazon's replika... again.
Why replikas when we can cut down this evil by his source. Lets head to Pangeia and destroy that supercomputer once and for all.
I wish I could think like that Ulrich, but we can't. XANA has 274 replikas on the network. It's twice the ones he had before. He's too powerful!
274, are you crazy?! If that's true how did XANA gather so much power?!
I have no idea and that's why I'm so concerned. There's a piece missing from this puzzle.
One more reason to go to Pangeia, Jeremie. We usually find our answers in the unknown territories, information right before our eyes. We must try to stop XANA once and for all.
You know what? You are right!
Jeremie, I hope I'm not interrupting your conversation!
You can go on with it, but please spend some time to have a chat with the principal as well.
But I-
Look, my visions came back, I'm seeing idiots.
Don't forget to do your homework from page 154. Next week is our last class before summer so you can bring your cakes.
I'm going to take a shower guys.
Hey Jeremie, why don't you invite Franz to help us out?
Well, this is a secret but Franz is remodelling the hermitage to make it back a home and give it to Aelita in the future.
That's great, Aelita will love it. Now that Franz Hopper is back nothing can go wrong, well maybe except for XANA's attacks, they are getting more agressive. Speaking of which, is he responsible for this awful cold weather?
No, I checked this morning before school.
Do what I did, I took a relaxing shower and right now I'm about to dress warmer clothes.
Why not..
Well Ulrich, don't forget. Today at 5pm in the factory to head to Pangeia. Something tells me this will be a tough day. - Hey why are the lights out? ........ better.
Hey are you talking about the abandonated factory? Herb and I were there once, we found Odd and Aelita kissing like crazy.
Forgive Nicholas. I know you like Aelita, Jeremie, and I... I... I'm in a simular situ... oh forget it!
Are you going already, Jeremie?
Yeah. You know I take too long to dress and Odd is way faster than me, if he gets his hands on my plate he's gonna ruin my plan for today of having lunch with Aelita... and I really can't let that happen.
Odd are you here?
Yeah, about to shower.
Ah, but this is perfect. Just the two of us alone. So... tell me, how are things with Yumi?
Odd, don't start it.
Oooooh, come oooooon!
No is a no.
You know this will never get out of here. I never told anyone about the pool attack when both of you kissed.
But that wasn't a kiss! That was a...
... it was a sim... er... it was PROTECTION!!
HAHAHAHAH, It was protection alright! Protection?! More like oxygen share!
Really..? Odd, seriously, enough! - Ok, ok, alright!
Can you land me your shampoo? I forgot mine. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Going a bit back to the shower conversation, I really do think you should try to tell Yumi your feelings. You know very well she added a final dot to William and told him it was over.
She's completely waiting for you, handsome.
Go ahead!
Hm... interesting... Odd, are you sure that is the subject you should really be concerned about and now how Kiwi pissed on my bed AGAIN?!
It happens!
Oh, it does? Do you know what also happens? Kiwi being forced to go back to the factory again.
Oh! Kiwi don't listen to this bully, you know how's Ulrich.
Come on Ulrich, he's a great dog and he'll behave from now on. There's no need to take extreme measures.
You've been saying that since I've met you.
Of course I am. I'm waiting for the day you'll finally listen to me.
How do you want me to listen to you if even Kiwi doesn't?
What?! Of course he does!
Kiwi, shut up!
Kiwi!
Shut up, kiwi!
Okay, very well, very well... I accept the defeat. I'm wrong...
What's gonna be the penalty of my poor dog?
I don't know... let me think. Kiwi, shut up!
I know!
He's going a month back to your sisters.
William, I'm glad you volunteered to help but the digital sea isn't like Lyoko so I think it's best if you stay here with jer...
... - Hey
Calm down, I don't mind staying behind.
... really...?
Well then, if you finished your chit-chat go to the scanners room, I'll start the virtualization process.
Ugh, that takes so much time.
Wow, Einstein it was actually fast for once.
I missed our personal elevator. - Brings back memories.
Remember when we fought against William and Aelita totally wrecked him?
I do, and do you remember when in that very same day got wrecked by a manta and I totally crushed Ulrich? Because I remember.
Whatever.
Are you going to pilot again?
Why, don't you see me at the center?
What I see is your fear of piloting at a speed higher than 20 mph
Is everyone ready? It's been a while since I've done this.
... and energyze.
Ah... I'm here Jeremie!
Very well Odd. Are you ready to see my real speed?
Careful everyone, she's switching to 30!
Well, you're not wrong.
Interface online.
Okay guys, ready to start this trip?
Yes, Aelita.
Go snail, full speed woop, woop, go go!
She should really go faster at least once for you to shut up.
Well, she can always try. Problem is she'll only try, really.
Turbopropulsors activated.
Hang tight, Odd.
FULL SPEED.
Haha! "Full speed" you say? Well at least is slighly faster, that's something.
Ugh, Odd shut u-
Desert Tunnel, opened.
Rotation.
Diving.
Holoweb system connected. You're ready to dive.
aEliTa cAlm dOwN-
Aelita... you're right... I should've never doubt that, oh god I'm abou-gh
Are you sure?
YES, YOU'RE RIGHT!
You guys doing that contest while I was slowly dying, afraid Hopper's submarine could give any error and fail.
Are you in the network?
Yes... we're back.
Aelita, I'm sending you Pangeia's coordenates Franz Hopper gave me but be aware of dangers, it's a weird place.
You have to cross 3 different hubs in order to get there and get access to an unexplored part of the digital sea, after that you just have to use your digital key.
Aelita, what is going on?
I'll check.
Uff, it's a tiny glitch. The propulsers have a tiny bug, nothing to worry about.
What do you mean "nothing to worry about"? We're heading to an unexplored area, we can't take the risk of having problems in case you need to use the skid at its best!
We're lucky it's a glitch that only affects the skid's speed but we can't leave it with problems, we need to fix it and I know precisely how.
We're going to use my old skid programs to fix this issue.
Are you crazy?!
On the contrary, I'm completely sain, it's a risky but easy solution that will most likely fix this problem.
But the programs from the old skid, might be incompatible with the current.
Doubt it as Franz created the current skid with extracts from mine.
Done!
I can't believe this! Aelita, you were right!
We have a problem, Jeremie! The shields are getting weaker!
I know, I damaged the internal parts of the skid. There's no easy fix now... head back to Lyoko.
Okay then. Rotation.
I can't believe this. An activated tower by XANA, just what we needed.
In the desert sector.
Want me to deactivate it?
Alone with the others in the network? No way, it's too dangerous. Besides I think I'll need you to stay here at the supercomputer.
Aelita, I think I had an idea to fi- DAMN IT!
Holy cow Einstein, what's wrong?
XANA as always. He's trying to prevent you from reaching Lyoko. You have to force your way through!
There's only one thing to do.
Releasing navskids.
YES, I was waiting for the moment you'd say that. Here I go!
Finish them quickly, the more time you spend there, the more the main shields will get weaker.
Don't worry einstein. Piece of cake.
Odd, careful! - I know!
So, do you think you can intimidate me, huh?
Stop talking and start fighting. Time is limited and this error is dangrous!
So why don't you stop arguing and start fixing?
You must think I'm playing with the keys.
Caught you on my net. Fire torpedous!
What? "Caught you on my net"? That's one of my jokes. You're learning with me!
Who was the sneaky evil fish?
Guys!
I saw. Fire torpedos!
I did it, Odd!
Well done. This is the definition of great team work!
No, no, no, no, no! I don't believe this!
Guys... I didn't manage to fix this problem. I think I have to go to my dorm.
Oh, great! You will leave us all alone!
I have a program that can clean the mess I made but it's at my dorm. I have no choice.
But Einstein, things are getting tough around here, we need you here to tell us what to do!
In order for you to go back to Lyoko I need to fix the skid, I'll need to go back to my dorm and get the CD there's no other way. I'll leave William taking care of you.
I don't believe this...
Besides, if I don't go now, you won't even have a Lyoko to go back to.
What's happening, Jeremie?
XANA is attacking the core. You need to get out of there. NOW!
XANA is really trying to prevent us from going.
This can't possibly get worse.
No!
Jeremie, we have a problem!
My main shields are loosing all their power. I need you try to restablish it, quickly!
Aelita, I'm doing all I can from my end, I'm trying! I can't fix this without going to my room, I just can't!
Come. ON!
I can't. I have to go, there's no other choice.
Right on target.
Hey, what's wrong? (*the sentence isn't matching his lips, edition error*)
Why are my navskid shields getting weaker?
The skid's shields aren't giving energy to yours.
The backups are also going down!
I'm sorry guys but there's no other way. I have to go back to my dorm and get the cleaning program to fix the skid. I know you don't want to but I can't remember of anything else right now that can fix this mess!
William will take care of you, he has knowledge of how to operate the supercomputer. Don't worry, you won't be alone!
Hm? What's that thi- Oh, it's coming my way!
... and Aelita's. BE CAREFUL!
I HAVE TO GO, RIGHT NOW!
Wow, Jeremie, wait don't leave me! What am I supposed to do?!
I don't know, babysit them!
You'll do great.
I'll come back in a sec.
No, wait!!
Great.
Guys, it's me. Don't loose the submarine out of sight. - Whatever you say, handsome.
Meanwhile I'll put an idea in practise.
There's no time to loose!
How can I shut up this siren?!
Finally. If I could now give more energy to just a shield.
Darn it!
No, not this monster!
OH NO!!
Here it is!
You are not going anywhere. Come back here now!
Keep dreaming! - NO, I SAID COME BACK HEREEEEEEEE!
Help me, please!
Oh no, Scyphozoa's cousin is back in action. We have to help Aelita and fast too!
Let's try to fire. One of us must be capable of doing it!
Fire torpedoes!
Odd, even if I wanted to I won't make it.
We're all loosing energy!
What other bad things can happen now?
Really? Did I really had to ask?
Oh no, oh no!
Odd I have a problem! I have my shields at only 2%
Jeremie has precisely a minute to come back here or-
-or your navskid will caboom. William tell me he's there!
No, he didn't arrive yet!
This is my finish line...
Why running, "Einstein"? You know I'll catch you!
Run, Jeremie, run! - COME BACK HEREEEEEEEEE
Aelita give me full access to the skid.
Why would you want access to the skid's permissions?
Just trust me!
You can't run away from me, Einstein... - Finally!
Permissions given. What are you planning?
Only a tiny hack XANA always used in the supercomputer when he wanted to glitch you up.
I'll overload the system.
I'll activate 4 towers, launch a return to the past and reboot the system which will cancel the procedures and double up the energy due to it glitch.
That will give you the possibility to not only activate 4 towers pretty easily but also realocate those to the skid in the digital sea, which is hard and not possible normally!
It's everything or nothing...
It worked!
The energy! Fantastic work, spider-man!
Now I am ready!
Fire!
I did it! I'm alive!
Today is not yet the day XANA will see his victory!
Keep going, you're almost doing the first scratch of the shield.
Aelita, I used sector 5's energy to fix the propulsors glitch temporarily, get out of there!
Retropropulsors, activated.
Odd, do the honors.
You don't have to say it twice. Consider it done!
Return to the skid.
About time.
I agree. I prefer Lyoko.
Navskids in.
I wouldn't mind at all staying here.
Until you run out of energy.
Okay that made me change my mind, we can go.
Very well, full speed.
NOT AGAIN!
I arrived, finally!
I'm starting the fix.
Yumi, hurry up. The last shield layer is about to go!
On my way, Jeremie!
Aelita I'm here and I'm starting the fix but... how weird!
The shields are fine!
It was William, he saved us!
Careful guys, look who's there. If is isn't my favorite walking potatoes.
Hah, it's running away!
Well, it seems it didn't want to fight. Less work for us, it means the tower is completely free from monsters. Lets go!
What were you saying, Odd?
It looks like I was slightly wrong.
I should really learn how to shut up for a second. - Yup.
Lazer Arrows!
Hurry up guys we need to deactivate that tower!
Hurry up, Yumi!
I'm giving my best!
The last shield layer just exploded. You can't let the manta fire even once!
Impact!
Very well princess, your humble tower...
Aelita head to the tower, we take care of them.
Oh no!
Amazing work. The core is saved all thanks to you. Today wasn't the day XANA won.
Yeah. Manta's lazer ricochet on my fan.
Tower deactivated.
This attack was more intense than the one from the gym.
XANA I knew wasn't like this. How agressive.
She's getting too strong and that's what worries me.
If it wasn't for William, today's story would be entirely different.
He only protected us, he did nothing but his job. - Ulrich!
Ulrich come on, even I have to admit he was amazing at the supercomp- - HOWEVER...
... I appreciate him saving my life.
I bet one day you'll become great friends...

BigGANs: AI-Based High-Fidelity Image Synthesis - Duration: 3:18.
Dear Fellow Scholars, this is Two Minute Papers with Károly Zsolnai-Fehér.
Approximately a 150 episodes ago, we looked at DeepMind's amazing algorithm that was able
to look at a database with images of birds, and it could learn about them so much that
we could provide a text description of an imaginary bird type and it would dream up
new images of them.
It was a truly breathtaking piece of work, and its main limitation was that it could
only come up with coarse images.
It didn't give us a lot of details.
Later, we talked about NVIDIA's algorithm that started out with such a coarse image,
but didn't stop there - it progressively recomputed this image many times, each time with more
and more details.
This was able to create imaginary celebrities with tons of detail.
This new work offers a number of valuable improvements over the previous techniques:
it can train bigger neural networks with even more parameters, create extremely detailed
images with remarkable performance, so much so that if you have a reasonably powerful
graphics card, you can run it yourself here.
The link is in the video description.
Training these neural networks is also more stable than it used to be with previous techniques.
As a result, it not only supports creating these absolutely beautiful images, but also
gives us the opportunity to exert artistic control on the outputs.
I think this is super fun, I could play with this all day long.
What's more, we can also interpolate between these images, which means that if we have
desirable images A and B, it can compute intermediate images between them, and the challenging part
is that these intermediate images shouldn't be some sort of average between the two, which
would be gibberish, but they have to be images that are meaningful, and can stand on their
own.
Look at this!
Flying colors.
And now comes the best part.
The results were measured in terms of their inception score.
This inception score defines how recognizable and diverse these generated images are and
most importantly, both of these are codified in a mathematical manner to reduce the subjectivity
of the evaluation.
This score is not perfect by any means, but it typically correlates well with the scores
given by humans.
The best of the earlier works had an inception score of around 50.
And hold on to your papers, because the score of this new technique is no less than 166,
and if we would measure real images, they would score around 233.
What an incredible leap in technology.
And we are even being paid for creating and playing with such learning algorithms.
What a time to be alive!
A big thumbs up for the authors of the paper for providing quite a bit of information on
failure cases as well.
We also thank Insilico Medicine for supporting this video.
They are using these amazing learning algorithms to create new molecules, identify new protein
targets with the aim to cure diseases and aging itself.
Make sure to check them out in the video description.
They are our first sponsors, and it's been such a joy to work with them.
Thanks for watching and for your generous support, and I'll see you next time!

The Baby Gift and You Said Good Morning - Duration: 6:09.
(upbeat music)
Proceed.
Danielle you have two parking tickets,
they're both on Hudson Street,
and they're both overnight parking.
So, I was just hoping to pay the tickets.
Alright Danielle, do you have a parking space
where you can park your car?
There is, but there's like four other units.
There's four units.
So sometimes it's not always open.
Do you have any children?
I'm about to not yet.
Oh, this be your first child.
Yeah. Oh, okay.
And having a boy or a girl?
I didn't find out.
Now if you have a boy,
are you thinking of any names for the boy?
Yes.
Oh, what are the names?
Lazarus if it's a boy and Solynn if it's a girl.
Oh, those are beautiful names.
Thanks.
If for some reason you change your mind...
(Danielle laughs)
You know, cause sometimes we have
different circumstances in life that effect our judgment,
but if you get stuck at the end
and you can't think of a good name,
I hear that the new name
that's gonna be a rage is Francesco.
Okay.
You like that name?
Yeah. Thanks.
Let me hear you say it.
Francesco.
Cesco, right she's doing good.
(laughter)
That would be a great name for your baby.
Okay. Just consider it okay?
And then if you're looking for
like a godparent or someone like that
I'm available. (audience laughter)
Okay. Thank you.
You know like a big gift for the kid.
You know, every year bring the kid a gift, all of that.
I've been trying for 25 years
to get somebody name a baby Francesco,
I have not yet been successful.
Now, why do you think I want you to do that?
Why would that be?
Because that's your name?
Oh you figured it out.
Yes. Alright.
Danielle, you qualified to buy a parking pass.
Parking pass is $100. Okay.
And that would allow you to
park on the street for one year.
You can't pay for the parking pass
unless you pay for these tickets first.
Okay.
You have two tickets here that originally were $40,
now have tripled to $120.
Okay.
Okay, so here's what I'm gonna do.
Instead of you spending $120 to pay for these tickets,
What I'm going to do is, I'm going to dismiss these tickets
that's gonna be a baby gift.
Thank you.
With a strong suggestion that you now buy a parking pass
and you can then park
on the street in front of your house for one year.
Okay.
For the $100, okay?
Yes.
Good luck. Thank you very much.
Good luck for a happy, healthy baby.
Thank you.
Alright. Thanks.
Okay Francis, what terrible thing did you do?
You wanna confess first?
Well it was a bad week, I got a parking ticket
and then I got this in the mail.
I paid the parking ticket willing.
I guess I'm not so willing to pay this one
that's why I'm here.
When did you pay the parking?
I have an unpaid parking--
There's a wicked old parking ticket on there
that I discovered when
I looked up my record to pay the current parking ticket.
I'm gonna ask you a question Francis, right?
I wanna see how good you are.
Where were you on October 23rd, 2003?
15 years ago, where were you at 11:20 in the morning?
Come on.
I...
We've been watching you, you were on Clifton Street.
(Francis laughs)
I don't even know where that is.
I'm gonna dismiss the ticket.
Well, thank you very much.
The parking ticket.
I appreciate that. Because all you--
I'm too old to worry about what happened in 2003.
All you have to say is,
"I wanna come back and have a trial."
And we have to go find the police officer
he's probably sunning in Florida somewhere.
Inspector Carrignon would have to go get him next January.
(Judge laughing) Well I appreciate it.
It's gonna take me about six weeks
to find him though, your honor.
(Judge laughing)
Alright, what terrible thing do you wanna tell me
about speeding on Blackstone Boulevard?
I think... You think what?
I was cited for 30, I was driving 31.
Is that not within the parameter you said you would dismiss?
I just wanted to see if you were listening.
Okay. (Judge laughs)
I teach, I listen.
What do you teach?
I'm a nursing professor.
Okay. Where?
At CCRI and Rhode Island College.
Okay. How long you been there?
I think it's 18 years.
I used to address the faculty every year.
I have been there when you have addressed the faculty.
(Judge laughing)
I was gonna have some fun with you, but I won't.
I was gonna ask you to mention--
Oh go ahead my children are watching.
I was gonna say, "Tell me one thing that I said
"and I'll dismiss the case."
Oh gosh. You said good morning.
(audience laughing)
Alright Francis, you were charged with doing 31
and the city does not prosecute unless the case is over 30.
Right.
So I have to make a decision and I do it
when I look at somebody I decide let me see now,
is that person honorable, honest, decent,
has respect and regard for the safety of others.
I don't know about you.
Oh, all of the above, all of the above your honor.
I'm thinking about this
Inspector Carrignon what do you think?
Does she meet that criteria?
Questionable your honor.
Questionable? Yes.
I felt the same way yeah I can tell she's (laughing).
We're only having fun with you.
That's okay. Alright.
Based on my previous ruling,
the 31 does not satisfy the requirements of the statue.
The matter will be dismissed.
Great.
And be careful there in the future.
Yes. Okay.
So my slate is clean now?
You're free to go.
Great.
Thank you very much your honor.
Have a great day.
Go to work.
Trial lawyers have an old saying,
"Never ask a question to which
"you do not know the answer to."
I was pretty confident that
Francis would never remember my address
to Rhode Island College faculty,
but I didn't anticipate her clever answer,
"Good morning."
That was a rookie mistake on my part
and a smooth move on hers.
Francis, I think someday you'll be back in my courtroom
and I'll be waiting.
I want a rematch.

How to Screenshot on iPad 2018 and iPad Pro with No Home Button! - Duration: 1:57.
What's up everyone my name is Ben and today I will be showing you guys and guiding you
through, on how to take a screenshot on the 2018 iPads with no home button.
Apple is really pushing the no home button trend across all their devices and this year,
we also got these on the new iPads and today I'll be showing guys how to take a screenshot
on the iPad 2018 that has no home button, again this works with the iPad Pro basically
any iPad without a home button.
So just like on the iPhone it's exactly the same on the iPad, what you want to do is press
the top button on top of the device, so that's the power button, press the power button and
the volume up button, that's on the side, at the same time, then release these two buttons
simultaneously and you will basically take a screenshot, so again press the power button
press the volume up button and press them at the same time and that will give you a
screenshot.
After you take a screenshot you will notice a little preview of the screenshot in the
bottom left corner and from there you can then proceed to edit the screenshot, delete
the screenshot, create a markup or even or save the screenshot.
So again power button, volume up button, press them at the same time, release them at the
same time and that will take a screenshot on your iPad 2018 and of course later, so
thank you guys so much for watching this video, I really hope you enjoyed it if you did.
please do me a favor and press that like button below.
comment down below if you have any other questions or requests that you want me to cover on my
channel and I'll see you all.

ALEX TERRIBLE COVERS REACTION (Thy Art is Murder - Reign Of Darkness / Meshuggah Perpetual) Eng Sub - Duration: 10:16.
Hi guys!
Today there will be a reaction to the work of Alexander Shikolai.
I like and respect him.
If you do not know who is Alexander Shikolai or Alex Terrible, then you should know Sloughter to prevail.
He is the vocalist of this band.
I very often mention Slaughter to Prevail in my videos.
Most likely I will make a video about this band.
Today there will be a reaction to Alexander's covers.
Because he started from that
Today I selected two.
One cover of my favorite song from Thy Art Is Murder. I did not see it.
And I saw the second cover, but I liked it so much that I want to watch it again with you.
let's start
He is so young here
I like him
Cool, yeah?
Fuck, I love this song from Thy Art Is Murder and he just did it.
He is very powerful.
I'm shocked every time.
He has a very low growl, unreal guttural.
My eyes fall out every time I hear him.
He can. Just can. No other words. I love him. I love Slaughter to Prevail.
I am very proud that he is from Russia.
I hope you enjoyed it too. And now let's watch another cover.
I adore this mask. It is cool
Alexander is just a master.
As you can see, this cover has already been made more professionally.
The video is thought out, different locations and so on.
And with what he started. (first cover)
He already has a lot of such professional covers. Go to his channel and whatch
And also listen to Slaughter to Prevail. This is my propaganda for you.
If you liked this video, then put your fingers up,
subscribe to my channel and write in the comments if you like Alexander and his band.
Also write what music videos I should look further.
Bye!
