Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Wednesday, September 25th.
You'll be interested to know.
Two hundred and forty-seven years ago, today in 1777, Philadelphia, then the American capital,
was occupied by British forces during the American Revolution.
This strategic occupation, which lasted nearly nine months,
aimed to disrupt the Continental Congress and weaken the American fight for independence.
No such luck, Sir William.
Have yourself another crumpet and bugger off.
So now you know.
And now, it's time for the Surf Report.

In local news,
Governor Gavin Newsom recently signed the Assembly Bill known as the Phone-Free School Act.
This legislation mandates that every school district, charter school, and county Office of Education
implement a policy limiting or prohibiting cell phone usage by July 1, 2026.
Newsom stated,
This new law will help students focus on academics, social development, and the world in front of them, not their screens.
San Diego Unified School Board President Shana Hazen noted that their existing policy
already restricts cell phone use during school hours,
reflecting years of attention to student wellness and learning.
Now on to sports.
Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre has revealed that he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
This places him among the one million people living with a condition in the United States.
According to John Lair, the chief executive officer of the Parkinson's Foundation,
an estimated 90,000 people will receive this diagnosis this year alone.
Parkinson's is a progressive nervous system disorder affecting movement.
Lair noted that a combination of genetic and environmental factors,
such as head injuries and pesticide exposure, may contribute to the disease.
Notable figures like actor Michael J. Fox and boxer Muhammad Ali have also faced this challenge.
In local sports.
Yesterday, the Padres clinched a playoff spot with a 4-2 victory over the Dodgers in LA.
Manny Machado's two-run shot in the fourth inning,
combined with Jake Cronenwerth's RBI double, powered the Friars offense.
Joe King pitched six solid innings, allowing just one run and striking out six.
Robert Suarez earned his 35th save of the season with a nail-biting ninth inning.
Despite the efforts of Mookie Betts and Enrique Hernandez,
the Dodgers couldn't overcome the Padres' resilient pitching and timely hitting.
Tonight, the Friars face the Dodgers again in Los Angeles at 7-10.
Dillon Seas, with a 3.42 ERA, will take the mound against Jack Flaherty.
The Padres, currently with a record of 91-66, lead the series 1-0.
In top news, scientists have unveiled a third state of life,
where dense cells take on new functions after the organism dies.
This phenomenon, explored in a recent research review by biologists,
highlights ongoing studies into xenobots and anthrobots.
These innovative cells could potentially deliver drugs without provoking an immune response and assist
in addressing conditions like atherosclerosis and cystic fibrosis.
The concept of the third state reveals a fascinating and somewhat eerie aspect of biology,
as it shows that even in death, cells can adopt new roles,
opening doors to exciting possibilities in medical science.
In business news, on September 25, 2024,
Thailand's government launched the first phase of its ambitious $14 billion digital wallet stimulus scheme,
aiming to invigorate the economy.
This initiative will eventually provide 10,000 bodies to approximately 45 million people.
Initially, cash will be distributed to 14.5 million welfare card holders and disabled individuals,
expected to conclude by the end of the month.
As Prime Minister Paitantarn Shenawatra emphasized,
cash will be put into the hands of face and create a tornado of spending.
However, the scheme faces criticism from economists for being fiscally irresponsible.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $64,200.
Ethereum is just over $2,600.
And Solana is $152.

Let's talk science.
The famed poet's grave, lost for over 450 years,
has been discovered at Notre Dame Cathedral, according to scientists.
This revelation emerged during a significant restoration project
following the cathedral's devastating fire in April 2019.
While archaeologists successfully identified one body from an epitaph,
the second body remained a mystery.
Now, researchers believe the remains belong to the French Renaissance poet,
Joachim du Bellet, as reported by France's National Institute of Preventive Archaeological Research.
The archaeological efforts, which commenced after the fire,
continuous officials anticipate reopening the cathedral in December.

He emphasized that generative artificial intelligence and computer-generated imagery
are the next wave in storytelling,
reflecting ongoing concerns about the impact of artificial intelligence on society.
