Bruce Wayne Meets Arthur Curry (Aquaman) Scene | Justice League (2017) CLIP (+Subtitles) - Duration: 3:39.
BRUCE: I'm asking for your help.
I believe there is a stranger who comes to this village from the sea.
He comes in the winter when the people are hungry and brings fish.
He comes on the king tide.
That was last night.
Icebergs in the harbor, four months since the last ship got through.
Well, this stranger doesn't come by ship.
There are enemies coming from far away.
I need warriors.
I'm building an alliance to defend ourselves.
Look, I'll give you $25,000 to talk to this man right now.
-Outside.
Tell me what those three boxes are and I'll make it $30,000.
You should get out.
Can you at least point me to Atlantis?
Arthur Curry.
Also known as Protector of the Oceans.
The Aquaman.
I hear you can talk to fish.
ARTHUR: So let me get this straight.
You do it dressed like a bat? Like an actual bat?
It's worked for 20 years in Gotham.
Oh, that shithole.
When the fight comes, we'll need you.
-Don't count on it, Batman.
'Cause I don't like you coming here,
digging into my business and getting into my life.
People from Atlantis tell me, "Do this."
Now you say, "Do that."
-I wanna be left alone. -Is that why you help
these people out here in the middle of nowhere?
'Cause you can just leave?
I help them 'cause no one else does.
If you want to protect them, you need to work with me.
"Strong man is strongest alone."
You ever heard that?
That's not a saying.
That's the opposite of what the saying is.
Yeah.
Doesn't mean I'm wrong.
You ever hear of Superman?
He died fighting next to me.
My point exactly.
What's in the three boxes?
It's ancient history.
What is it?
Mankind's melting the polar ice caps,
destroying the ecosystem. They got it coming?
Hey, I don't mind if the oceans rise.
How about if they boil?
Dressed like a bat.
You're out of your mind, Bruce Wayne.
Doesn't mean I'm wrong.

your bloodstream leading to inflammation of the blood vessels and other heart
problems see your dentist every six months for check-ups make an appointment
right away if you spot redness or soreness on your gums or changes in your
teeth shift work working at night or irregular hours raises your risk of a
heart attack according to a recent study from Western University in Canada

Behind the Scenes of Race Ratings: The Candidate Interview - Duration: 4:49.
Oh, hello!
Welcome to the Inside Elections enclave of Roll Call's world headquarters.
I know it's hard to believe, but this is where the magic happens.
The dirty secret about political handicapping is that there isn't a magic formula to the ratings.
At times it can be more of an art than a science.
Don't get me wrong, there's a quantitative side where we digest polling and analyze past
election results.
But there's a human side to the reporting as well.
One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to meet with candidates.
It's an opportunity to learn more about them, from them.
It's better than just reading about them online.
It's cool to meet with candidates before they get elected and before they even get
to the national stage.
But I realize that meeting with reporters can be intimidating for candidates, particularly
when my former boss and friend Stu Rothenberg had a reputation for a loud bark.
He's really not that way in real life.
So I thought it might be helpful to demystify the candidate interview process for those
of you considering a run for office or who are just interested in what happens behind closed doors.
Here we are outside Roll Call's offices downtown, near the White House.
On your way in, on a warm day, you can glance at BLT and you might be able to catch a member
of the president's team having a nice lunch.
Be careful though, because if you overshoot the building, you'll end up at the New York Times.
Once you're in the lobby, you're gonna have to check in with security.
Then I'm gonna have to come down, it might take me a few minutes to get here, because
I'm usually on a very important phone call or I'm working on a breaking news story.
So I always know when a candidate is about to come in because Nathan breaks away from
reading whatever Seahawks blog occupies his time, and he goes to the closet.
It's a very Mr. Rogers thing.
Usually he dresses like an 8th grader but he has to go to the closet and get his jacket
so that he looks more professional.
Up on the second floor, we'll search far and wide for an open conference room.
Now, make sure you don't bring a large entourage because we won't have enough chairs and
we'll assume you can't take care of yourself.
But the best-case scenario is that we'll have the grand conference room, which is large
enough to seat a small village of people.
Now, by this time you should've read Six Things Losing Candidates Say, because if you
don't, you risk saying one of those things and we will burst out into laughter during
the interview.
These candidate interviews won't just be with me.
Also in on the meetings will be my Inside Elections colleague Leah Askarinam,
and Simone Pathe or Bridget Bowman from Roll Call, depending on which state your from.
Then we will give you
business cards.
There will also be a Roll Call photographer.
Thomas is great, but just ignore him.
Your job is to act natural while there is a camera in your face.
Now, if you can't pass this test, you probably aren't cut out for Congress.
The roadmap of the interview is pretty straight-forward.
I'll start with a funny joke.
Then we'll walk about your bio, past professional experience, other elected offices and other races.
So Nathan starts with the same joke every time.
He says, "Let's start with the tough questions.
What's your date of birth?"
And then he looks around to see if anyone is laughing and everyone just smiles.
Alright, now we start with the difficult questions — what's your date of birth?
It's not only a great joke but it's an important first question.
Three candidates in 17 years have refused to answer and two of them lost.
One of them won.
But I don't want to mention him by name.
From there, we'll talk about the current campaign including your top issues, your consulting
team, fundraising, and your path to victory.
You know what, in order to make this easier for you, why don't we go ahead and list
all the questions for you.
The truth is that if you think those questions are scary, you're probably not going to
survive a competitive campaign.
Now, at the end of the interview, I usually end with another hilarious joke and then we'll
be on our way.
As we walk to the elevators, I'll probably try to find a random connection to your district.
Maybe my college roommate's cousin used to live there.
Then you'll be on your own to go downstairs.
Just pay attention to who you're riding down with because it might be one of our colleagues.
Well, that's about it — the candidate interview.
I hope that helps a little bit.
And come by and see us.
We look forward to meeting with you just before you become programmed with all your talking points.

Fishing with Joe Bucher! Season 30 Episode 06 - Duration: 21:23.
(slow groove guitar music)
- [Joe] Welcome to this week's show.
Inside this episode, we feature
three separate topics and conditions.
In segment one, VRP Evinrude Outboard's
regional sales director, Luke Sweet,
joins me on an early summer muskie outing.
After that, I'm crankbait and jerkbait fishing
a tightly-schooled group of bass
over a clump of milfoil weeds
on a cold, misty, overcast day.
Finally, Rich Belanger from St. Croix
joins me on a mid-August, still,
overcast afternoon, and some super-exciting
topwater muskie fishing.
It's all coming up, so
stick around for the action.
(rock music)
- [Spokesman] Fishing with Joe Bucher
is brought to you by Recon boats,
made by craftsmen, built for fishermen.
Evinrude, E-TEC, G2, the outboard
that changed everything.
St. Croix, best rods on earth.
Yeti, built for the wild.
Joe Bucher Outdoors, still number one
in big game fishing products,
and by your Wisconsin Chevy dealers.
(rock music)
- Hey folks, welcome to our muskie episode.
We've got Luke Sweet from Evinrude.
Great seeing you on the show.
Regional sales director for Evinrude, and
also regional sales director for Muskie Temple.
(both men laugh)
It's funny, Luke and I are out here
on our first muskie voyage together, and
you've been a hunter
and fisherman your whole life.
You're just talking about elk hunting
and all this other stuff.
You're a big-time outdoorsman, and you guys
make fantastic products, and we're out here
just having fun trying to catch a muskie,
and we're raising a few, right?
- We've raised probably a dozen fish
already today, so.
- It's been pretty good, but
we kind of tweaked the retrieval a little bit,
didn't we?
- Yeah, you talk about changing the tempo
a little bit, give it a little burst
of speed, let it back down.
Give it a little burst of speed.
I tried that the second time,
and we hooked up.
- Folks.
- And she came right up out of the water.
- Oh yeah, I'll tell you what,
that was some fantastic, and wait till you see
this, folks, the way this fish jumps,
but it just goes to show you, you've seen it
on my TV show many times, where I talk about
do not get too rhythmic, you know.
Whether you're working on a jerkbait,
whether you're working a topwater lure,
whether you're working the spinner,
do not get too rhythmic, 'cause if you get
too rhythmic, they follow.
But.
- Change it up a little bit.
- Change it up a little bit,
and look what happens.
(rock music)
You know, so that fish is coming on it,
it, that's what gets them to go.
- You guys are tuning me up, I'm practicing.
- Oh, you're doing it, man,
you're doing it.
- [Camera Man] He cast it a mile.
- Yeah, he's, I just
fish?
- Uh, no.
- Fish, fish!
We're in, we're yeah!
- Whoa.
- Hey!
- Game on, game on, game on.
The burst worked, Chris.
The burst worked.
- There we go.
- Nice job, too, huh?
What do you think, Chris?
Luke's got a good fish on here.
Oh, it's a battler, man.
Watch her, watch that troller motor, now.
Watch that troller motor.
Easy Luke, easy with 'er.
Oh, Luke.
- There we go. Coming up.
- This fish is hooked from here to tomorrow.
You ready?
You got 'er too low.
I can't see 'er, I can't see 'er.
Right here.
Yeah!
(both men laugh and scream)
- Alright.
- That's awesome, that's awesome.
You know what's funny about that?
You and I have come close three times
down this pass here.
- Changed the tempo.
- Changed the tempo.
We were just talking about the burst thing.
Folks, we were just talking about the burst
on the buck tail.
Bursting the bait, I mean,
what was that, two casts with the burst?
And boom.
- Yeah, yeah.
- "I think that, I think that was a weed."
No, that was a fish.
(both men laugh)
Hey, hey baby.
Alright.
You don't mind me pulling the fish out, do you?
- No, please.
- Alright, let's get ahold of this baby here.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Hey you know what's cool?
These people from Evinrude actually can fish.
How 'bout that, Luke?
What do ya think?
Oh, she's hooked great, Luke.
She's just hooked great.
You know what I'm gonna do?
Let me see here.
I think I'm gonna unhook her right in the net,
and there we go.
Thank you.
- She did it herself.
- She did it herself.
What do you think, ladies and gentlemen?
I think he's,
I think Luke,
Luke Sweet is a killer muskie guy.
And now you know, Luke, now you know,
that the burst works.
- First fish of the day.
- The burst works.
- Changing the tempo.
- You got 'er, buddy? You got 'er?
You sure? You got 'er?
- Yeah.
- There you go, folks.
Way to go, dude.
- Second cast, we changed it up a little bit,
switched the tempo bringing it back in,
a little burst, and bam.
- Love it!
We'll be right back.
- And she came up out of the water.
- She came, oh I tell ya
that was the jump of the year.
(Luke laughs)
Doing it, man you're doing it.
[Chris] He cast it a mile.
Yeah, he's, I just,
fish?
- Uh, no.
- Fish! Fish!
- Oh my...
We're in, we're yeah!
Hey!
(rock music)
- [Spokesman] The official music sponsor of all
Fishing with Joe Bucher episodes is Yeti.
(slow groove guitar music)
- I actually caught a fish?
I actually have a fish.
I got a nice fish on.
Oh, good-fightin' fish too.
I don't know what it is, but boy,
it's a good fighter.
Cold-water cranking, my friends,
cold water.
Oh, it's stayin' down, whatever it is here.
What is it?
Nice largemouth.
Water temperature barely cracking 50 degrees.
Black bottom bay largemouths.
Classic pattern.
Cold water, early spring.
Alrighty, let's see what we got here.
Using my Frabill cranking net here.
Crankbait net.
And fishing with crankbaits.
Put you back.
And what we're fishing with here, my friends,
lipless crankbait.
Spots like this you could try spinner baits,
jigs, swim jigs,
crankbaits, spinner baits.
What I've got here, I've written about this,
I've talked about this, I've filmed it.
The classic north bay pattern.
We're on the northern end of a lake.
When you find, certain lakes have this,
certain lakes don't.
When you find, if you're looking for a good,
cold front, early spring pattern
for bass, one of the best things,
this works for wallies and pike by the way,
and crappies, too, and blue gills,
get on the north end of the lake.
You're gonna have primarily northerly wind flows.
Get on the north side of the lake, and find a
dark bottom weedy bay that's got
some kind of a gravel or sand shoreline
makes it even better, because eventually
the bass'll probably slide in there to spawn,
as well as the crappies and the bass.
And what you're going to find is
this dark bottom absorbs more heat.
It's slightly warmer.
Holds all the bait fish.
Holds all of these bass in like, and pan fish
in a pre-spawn, they're like in a lockdown
holding pattern when the water's in
the high 40s, low 50s.
And then you just bomb cast these spots
with various lures until you find out
what they like, and then you're going to find
schools of fish just kind of scattered
on these spots.
When nothing else produces, these spots produce
early in the season.
(slow groove guitar music)
Oh,
Oh, no no no no no no no.
It's funny, once in a blue moon that works,
a little bow and arrow.
Oh, there we go.
Huh, got snagged up on that spot,
did a little bow and arrow flip with my rod
to try to get it unsnagged and caught a bass.
So when I'm fishing along here, see now
I caught that first fish on a crankbait.
Switched tackle here, and that's what
I was saying when I started, it's like,
you know, you might catch
these fish on crankbaits.
Let me get off of here just a little bit.
You might catch these fish on crankbaits.
You might just catch one or two
on a crankbait or spinner bait
and have to go after 'em with a jig, you know.
You just don't know.
In fact, I'm just gonna hook him right over
the side here, underwater.
Good lookin' fish, huh?
Now, now, now.
There you go.
(slow groove guitar music)
(slow groove guitar music)
Got a mixture of largemouth
and smallmouth in here.
What you're gonna find out too is
with most of these suspender jerkbaits
is you get most of your strikes on the pause.
One of the big ways to trigger these fish
when you're fishing with this bait, too, is
is just to mix it up.
Don't do anything rhythmic.
You get into too much rhythm, the fish
just have a tendency to follow
the bait, even bass.
You learn that in the muskie world.
(slow groove guitar music)
So, are the bass right here?
I just gotta throw the right bait on 'em?
Yep, yep, that's what it was.
I'm on 'em now.
Yeah.
Jerkbait fishing,
suspender jerkbait fishing.
Cold water bass.
Yeah.
You got it.
Not a floating minnow, like we grew up fishing.
It's suspender.
You can see it suspending in the water,
as I release the bass.
So what we're fishing with here
big casting gear.
I've got one of St. Croix's new
Bass X-Series rods.
Medium fast, six foot six,
I've got fluorocarbon,
I've got 15-pound test fluorocarbon line on here.
There's a whole bunch of different, good
suspending minnow baits out there.
I mean there's a bunch of them.
And I'm fishing with the bait casting gear.
I've got one of Daiwa's TATULA reels here,
the five point five to one, and
I like the little bit slower gear ratio
in the cold water fishing.
Cold water here.
Water's barely 50 degrees, and
tested, I tested this area out with a variety
of different lures, till I found the lure
they really want.
Now we're gonna see if I can catch some more.
(slow groove guitar music)
Yep, there's, I think there's another one, see.
Okay, now I caught a fish
on three different baits.
Three different baits, just testing
so the fish are here.
So I caught a fish on crankbait, a jig,
and a suspending jerkbait.
They all caught fish.
There ya go.
What do ya think of that, huh?
These black bottom bay bass
and sometimes in cold weather,
you just gotta check out,
test a bunch of different lures.
One fish will usually tip you off
that you're close.
Then you gotta try some other baits
to see, different categories of baits,
to see which one is the best for the day,
or the best for the time, that hour
or so that you're out there.
Sun's coming out, maybe the fish will pick up.
We'll be right back.
(rock music)
- [Spokesman] This featured segment
is brought to you by the Musky Shop.
- Hey folks, welcome to our muskie segment.
Rich Belanger, St. Croix.
- Good morning, Joe.
- Best net man in the business, one of my...
- Well, thank you.
- Well, you're just, you're just killer,
man, I'm telling you, it's unbelievable what
a great partner you are, and you know,
we're talking, you and I always are on
field test trips, trying to bring
great St. Croix products to all of our anglers,
and in the muskie world, we just tagged
a big fish on a Walkin' Raider.
- Mmm-hmm.
- Surface, a zigzag bait.
- But Rich, tell the folks quickly
what makes the best kind of bait for this,
for these glide baits, jerkbaits,
this is a surface glide bait,
so to speak, right?
- It is, yeah.
Very similar to your
your underwater Raider as well.
But to get the proper action on those baits,
typically you're gonna be working
straight down, right?
- [Joe] Right.
- [Rich] Move, move, move, move.
- [Joe] Yep.
- So, a longer rod's gonna hurt you.
You're just slapping the water.
So this particular model we kept at
seven foot six, alright,
but it's gotta have a ton of power,
ton of backbone.
So this is the extra heavy power,
with the fast action, right?.
So you're gonna get that top 18
is where you'll get your movement,
and then it's gonna shut right down.
But you need that top 18 to have
a little movement.
- [Joe] Yes.
- [Rich] To make those baits work.
- [Joe] Yes.
- [Rich] With that little twitch,
so you don't want to have to do it big.
- Yes, it's also nice
once you hook the fish.
- Yeah.
- Have a little bend in the rod.
- It's a quick set, and
you drive 'em quick.
- You know what's interesting.
What I love about this rod, too,
the elite in particular, folks,
is that the 76 jerk.
- Mmm-hmm.
- And the jerkbait stick is, extra heavy,
is a great rod to begin with, but boy
when you go to the elite series,
the way you guys have got,
this is like the ultimate jerkbait,
zigzag topwater bait ever made,
and I don't know that you could ever
improve upon it.
- Well that whole series.
- It is great.
- You know, we've shaved every gram of weight
out of there that we could.
The best components in the world
on those blanks, I mean it's,
it's like you said.
It'll be hard to improve it.
We'll try.
- Man.
- We're never gonna stop trying.
- It's a great stick, man.
So you wanna 76 extra heavy fast,
80-pound grade, piano wire leader,
make sure your hooks are real sharp.
Bay casting, high-speed bay casting reel.
This happens to be Diawa Lexa 400.
And, you can't beat this elite,
this elite 76 extra heavy fast
on these big fish, man.
Watch it in action.
(slow groove guitar music)
- Got one.
- [Rich] There it is.
- Come on up, Rich.
Let's get 'er quick.
(both men laugh)
- Way to go, birthday boy.
- Birthday boy on a Walker Texas Ranger.
I like that.
Oh, Walker Texas Ranger, eh?
- Time to get 'er out.
- That's the kind of day you catch a fish on
that kind of a bait.
- Time to get 'em out.
- I think we caught every fish
we've ever caught on a Walker on a trip with you,
it's always been on these midday...
- Midday, flat.
- Overcast, flat.
- No wind.
Let that be a lesson to ya, folks.
- Sweet, nice job.
- Took the wind out of me.
- Come on.
(both men laugh)
- [Rich] There it is.
- Come on up, Rich.
Let's get 'er quick.
(both men laugh)
- That's a pretty fish, too. - Oh, baby.
It is a beautiful fish, isn't it?

Graphic Scores: Beyond The Written Note - Duration: 6:31.
hey, welcome to 12tone! imagine for a second that you're a session musician who's been
hired to play on someone's album.
you walk into the studio, sit down at the piano, open your sheet music and see… this.
what do you do?
what do you play?
I mean, you could just complain that this isn't real notation, but if you do you'll
probably lose the gig, so might as well try to figure it out.
it starts with this shape here, which could represent a rising and falling melody.
(bang) it gets bigger and smaller, so maybe that's volume changes?
(bang) or maybe you're supposed to play a second line with the appropriate distance.
(bang) and what's the deal with this bit here?
there's lots of interpretations, and none of them are obviously right or wrong.
welcome to the world of graphic scores.
this is a movement that started in the mid-20th century to challenge the idea of what written
music could be.
modern western notation is a very precise thing: it tells you exactly what to play,
and exactly when to play it.
that level of clarity feels natural and obvious to us now, but it's actually a relatively
recent idea.
or, ok, it goes back at least to the Ars Nova movement in the 14th century, but really,
compared to the age of music, is 700 years really all that long? for quite a while before
that, the most popular system was called neumatic notation, which started out as just a way
to remind singers about the general shape of the melody.
a piece of neumatic notation wasn't all that useful unless you'd already learned the song
by ear. over time it became more and more precise, allowing students to figure out the
intended melodies without having to hear it first, until it eventually became what we
have today.
many graphic score composers argued, in effect, that this pendulum of specificity had swung
too far, that modern notation was too precise, and they started to experiment with other
approaches.
we've talked before about eye music, which is the practice of writing music unconventionally
in order to make the score look more like its own work of art.
this could mean using fancy note-heads, or arranging your staves into a shape, like a
heart or a bicycle. with eye music, though, the actual intended notation is still clear.
there's no real question about what you're trying to communicate.
it's like those big, stylized letters you see at the start of chapters in old books:
they look fancy, but you can still tell what letter they're supposed to be.
graphic scores, on the other hand, are often a bit more ambiguous.
a lot of graphic works are a form of what's called aleatoric music, where some important
compositional decisions are left up to chance or, in this case, up to the performer.
aleatoric composers relinquish some amount of control over their work, allowing broader
interpretations. in the case of graphic scores, they do this by using unclear, often symbolic
notation, forcing anyone performing it to reach their own conclusions about what it's
supposed to sound like.
one famous example is Cornelius Cardew's infamous work Treatise.
Cardew was an avant-garde composer in the 60s, and worked with Karlheinz Stockhausen,
another pioneer of graphic scores.
Treatise was his magnum opus, 193 pages of lines, shapes, and symbols, meant to be played…
however you want.
he gave no specific instructions on what any of his symbols meant.
for instance, page 54 includes this, which I might interpret something like this (bang)
but I bet if you tried to play it, you'd wind up with something completely different and
maybe a little less literal.
but that doesn't make this random: we're both trying to evoke the same shape.
if I were to play this (bang) it'd be pretty hard for me to argue that it was based in
the score.
I mean, I might be able to, but I'd need a really good case.
the score isn't just an arbitrary set of pictures: it's still a roadmap, and it needs to be followed.
Cardew, like many graphic score artists, didn't intend for performances of his work to be
improvised: he wanted players to develop their own sets of rules for what various things
meant, effectively converting his ambiguous score into a clear, precise one in their heads.
so while your interpretation might vary from mine, it shouldn't vary within itself.
as a brief aside, Cardew came to hate his avant-garde period later in life, attacking
his own works, as well as those of Stockhausen and other avant-garde artists, as elitist
and out of touch.
that's not really relevant to the music, but if I didn't mention it someone else would've.
anyway, back to the point.
beyond performer interpretation, the composer themself could still impact the sound of the
piece.
many graphic works were composed for specific performers who had worked with the composer
enough to know their preferences. for instance, Cardew often worked closely with a piano player
named John Tilbury, so Tilbury's performances were informed by a deep understanding of Cardew's
intent.
another example is David Tudor, who was the intended performer for many works by famous
avant-garde composer John Cage, including premiering the controversial 4'33".
modern performers of graphic score works often take the time to study the composers, getting
a sense of what they may have wanted in order to more accurately bring their visions to
life.
sometimes graphic scores even go the other way: György Ligetti's composition, Artikulation,
is a series of electronic noises that he originally notated with charts, but it was later transcribed
by Rainer Wehinger into a well-known graphic work, using various symbols to artistically
represent the different sounds.
there's a link to that in the description.
here, the musical composition is fixed: what's open to interpretation is just how to write
it down.
but let's get back to that piece from the beginning.
you know, this one.
this piece, called Solitude, by Hans-Christoph Steiner, isn't like that.
it's actually a complete, precise score, it's just meant to represent something that musicians
from the Ars Nova period never imagined: sampling, or taking audio clips from other songs, editing
them, and putting them together in new ways to make new music.
each color represents a different sample, and the shapes show the volume and panning
that sample should be played with.
there's only one correct interpretation of the score, which Steiner kindly uploaded to
soundcloud.
there's a link, again, in the description.
this brings up another important use of graphic scores: filling gaps in modern notation.
our current system is centuries old, and it privileges the sorts of information that composers
back then cared about, like notes and durations.
while you can always write things in if you need them, by default it contains very little
information on things like timbre and intonation, and nothing about technological issues like
panning and effects.
the rise of computers has fundamentally changed what we can do with music, and our traditional
notation systems are struggling to keep up.
this brings us to the last, most recent development in graphic scores: MIDI art.
MIDI, short for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a way of storing note information
to be reproduced by samples or synthesizers.
it's actually what I use to create the audio examples for these videos.
anyway, MIDI data is stored on what's called a piano roll, which is basically an alternative
notation system where each note is stored separately, and you can see all of them at
once.
this makes it easier to overlap various parts, and if you're clever enough, it also allows
you to draw pictures.
the most famous example of this is probably by youtube musician Andrew Huang, who used
it to draw a unicorn that was also a pretty decent piano piece.
there's a link to that in the description too.
MIDI drawings kind of blur the line back to eye music, since they still communicate most
of the same stuff as traditional notation, but I'm counting them here 'cause I think
piano rolls are different enough, and besides, I forgot to mention them in the eye music
video.

Billboard Pops Up On Busy California Highway Overnight, 4 Words Make Maxine Waters PANIC - Duration: 4:17.
Billboard Pops Up On Busy California Highway Overnight, 4 Words Make Maxine Waters PANIC.
Overnight, a billboard popped up alongside a busy highway in California, where Hispanic
GOP candidate Omar Navarro is challenging Maxine Waters for her seat in the U.S. Congress.
Waters began to panic when she saw the large sign because four words exposed her dirty
secret to many of the same constituents who have been voting for her for years.
On Thursday, Omar Navarro shared a photo on Facebook which had his supporters cheering
and his opponents — most of whom are longtime fans of Rep. Maxine Waters — in a state
of panic.
Navarro, who is just 29-years-old, is challenging Waters for her seat in the U.S. Congress.
Navarro's photo depicted a billboard which has been erected along a busy California highway.
Maxine Waters' ugly mug is plastered across the left side of the massive sign, and on
the right side, the message to voters is loud and clear: Rotten To The Core.
Adjacent to Waters' face on the right side of the billboard is a picture of an old apple
core which has begun to rot, much the same way the congresswoman has after years and
years on Capitol Hill.
The sign also states that Waters has been "Named 'Most Corrupt' by C.R.E.W.
5 times."
Indeed, Maxine Waters' corruption has been well-documented, although it hasn't stopped
her from winning re-election in California, where Democratic politicians are the ruling
class.
Most recently, a Federal Election Commission report of receipts and disbursements revealed
that the California Congresswoman paid more than $10,000 for tickets to the Broadway show
"Hamilton" and wrote it off as a "fundraiser expense."
Of course, this is the sort of thing which should induce calls for term limits, but in
Communist California, corruption is a way of life for politicians.
The California billboard which calls Waters out for her dirty deeds appears to have been
funded by the Stars and Stripes Forever PAC, a grassroots super PAC launched in 2013 with
the goal of appealing to African American voters with a conservative message.
"2018 represents the greatest opportunity in our lifetime to enact a truly conservative
agenda for America," states the PAC's website.
"Our goal is to help the GOP win a 61 seat majority in the Senate, enough to overcome
any Democratic filibuster," the website continues.
"Obtaining a filibuster-proof majority is crucial to confirming conservative judges
and rolling back regulations and legislation that cripples our economy," adds the website.
"We remain committed to our strategy of directed outreach to African American voters,"
the PAC writes.
"By placing black radio ads in key states such as Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Montana,
North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin, we aim to affect the outcome of those senatorial
races," the website goes on.
"If we're able to win 9 of the 25 seats now held by Democrats, we can accomplish our
mission," it says.
"Moreover, our long-term goal is to win one-third of the African American vote on
a regular basis."
Maxine Waters has done absolutely nothing for the black community, despite her many
years in Congress.
In fact, President Donald Trump has done more for African Americans in this country in just
the first year of his presidency than Waters has in her entire career.
This was evidenced by the most recent jobs report, which showed that black unemployment
has reached the lowest numbers ever recorded, proof positive that a conservative agenda
is far better for the black community than the Democratic standard of trading votes for
freebies.
Despite the tremendous work that President Donald Trump is doing for African Americans
in the U.S., Maxine Waters has been leading the charge to impeach Trump, as he is a huge
threat to her.
Omar Navarro, on the other hand, supports President Trump and his agenda.
The right choice is overwhelmingly clear for California voters this election season.

Cómo se investiga en Humanidades Digitales - Entrevista con Vittore Casarosa - Universidad de Pisa - Duration: 5:01.
Hello Youtubentes, how are you? this is Juanjo Boté,
and
today we are here with Vittore Casarosa from University
of Pisa. He's a researcher there.
and he specially does research,
he's between Library Information Science and Computer Science.
So we are going to talk with him.
The video is in English.
so if don't understand English by any reason,
just below the video you have the captions.
do you agree?
So, we start
Hello Vittore. Buenos dias.
Thank very much for your introduction.
Now I'm going to speak in English.
Yes, I think is better for both.
Yes for both.
OK.
You're from University of PIsa.
You're a researcher that you mix Information... Library Information Science and Computer Science.
Which is your speciallity exactly?
What did you dedicate these last years?
Ok. So, let me
give you some background
in the sense that
I'm mixing the two because,
my background is really in Electronic Engineer.
because the time I graduated,
there were no Computer Science degree. Ok, yeah...
[laughs] they were just beginning
Yeah, you had to wait for further.
but then I've been, most of my activity,
has been in the beginning
with databases and image processing.
So, it was just pure computers. Ok. Yes..
and then, let's say about 20 years ago,
I lended, let me say in the new field
emerging field of digital libraries.
which was again the combination of
computers and libraries.
That's when I've started being
post into the humanties and applications and libraries.
and ACAIS and so on.
So, there's how I started to be gold in this type of activity.
Oh that's perfect.
emmm,
How do you conduct a research in your field?
I mean, you have
to deal with lots of things.
people, databases, how do you conduct that?
What is the methodology you more, you more or less or in big ideas, you do?
OK. So, let's say
In the last years
most of our interest, my interest
I'm collaborating with other universities
has been to try to understand what are the requirements
for higher education institutions, I mean unversities
to prepare the new information professionals. Ok
today they're called data scientist, because so the big data
basically just only five years ago, they were called
information professionals. Yes...
which...it's the same but different name.
yes.. but...I think that there is one, one, connotation
that information professional is
no longer a librarian, an archivist
or a museum curator.
The Information professional somehow should be across
across some disciplines...of those boundaries.
and so, for the research
in this type of research,
there are really no databases
and other things.
So the methodology is basically surveys
and interviews.
So it's a mixture. Qualitative and quantitative..
so it's a mixture of quantitative and qualitative.
Ok. That's perfect.
I have another question. Is...
Which advice could you say to any student
or a PhD student or M.A. students
in Library Information Science
regarding to research?
In their professional life or
What can they do?
Well, this is what we were already discussing
The first thing it might be,
Should be
that they try to find
what is the specific field
of their interest. Ok.
So, to be passionate in some way.
Yes, to become an expert in some specific
sector.
I would say for humanist could be History
or epigraphist
or.... let's say philology.
but even to select.
because, you should select
what you like.
Yeah, you have to concrete
I like that.
and then, let me say.
in parallel with that,
you should really
get a good knowledge
of the Information technology tools
of course.
suitable for your sector.
So, to have skills on technology.
how to deal with technology.
They need. Because today wherever
I mean for a hand science
it's a given. You can't do it without computers.
No. For humanistic sides is more
and more the fact that
if you want to do
innovative research
you have to know and to use
information technology tools.
Ohhh..That is
no way out.
Ok. Thank you very much.
That's all for today.
That's all for today
So we watch together on the next video
Any questions leave your comments below. See you soon. Bye.
Bye. See you soon.
