WEBVTT 00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:03.819 Good morning, and a warm welcome to your show, 00:00:03.980 --> 00:00:08.759 Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:12.960 and it's Monday, May 19th. You'll be interested 00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:18.600 to know, 104 years ago today, in 1921, the United 00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:21.480 States Congress passed the Emergency Quota Act, 00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:23.940 establishing national quotas on immigration. 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:27.699 This landmark legislation marked a significant 00:00:27.699 --> 00:00:31.120 shift in American immigration policy, introducing 00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:35.539 numerical limits based on nationality. While 00:00:35.539 --> 00:00:38.140 it reflected the complexities of its time, the 00:00:38.140 --> 00:00:40.719 Act also set the stage for future discussions 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.579 and reforms, highlighting the nation's evolving 00:00:43.579 --> 00:00:48.520 approach to diversity and inclusion. So now you 00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:52.719 know. And now, it's time for the SURF Report. 00:00:55.719 --> 00:01:00.159 Monday at Tourmaline and South San Diego. It's 00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:02.500 looking clean this morning with waist to chest 00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:06.000 high sets rolling in. Weights hold around three 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.819 plus feet early on, offering great conditions. 00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:13.120 However, expect the winds to remain onshore at 00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.579 just one mile per hour, keeping the surface smooth 00:01:16.579 --> 00:01:20.079 as the day begins. Conditions may shift later, 00:01:20.219 --> 00:01:23.920 so enjoy the morning while it lasts. Best time 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.500 to ride is at 6 a .m. with a 2 -foot outgoing 00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:30.959 mid -tide when the west -northwest swell is 3 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.420 .5 feet at 10 seconds and the onshore wind is 00:01:34.420 --> 00:01:38.500 1 mile per hour. The first low tide Monday will 00:01:38.500 --> 00:01:42.760 be 0 foot at 9 .30 a .m. with a 3 .5 foot high 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:47.000 tide at 5. The near -shore GUI at Mission Bay 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.859 West reads 66 degrees for the water temperature. 00:01:52.430 --> 00:01:55.269 Tuesday through Thursday features mostly clean 00:01:55.269 --> 00:01:58.530 conditions with waste to chest -high waves, especially 00:01:58.530 --> 00:02:01.750 in the mornings. Light winds from the northwest 00:02:01.750 --> 00:02:04.689 shift to west in the afternoons, creating fair 00:02:04.689 --> 00:02:08.189 conditions. Wednesday stands out with consistent 00:02:08.189 --> 00:02:13.050 suds and occasional larger waves. Overall, a 00:02:13.050 --> 00:02:15.490 fun and manageable swell for all skill levels, 00:02:15.689 --> 00:02:18.870 particularly favorable for lombarders on Tuesday 00:02:18.870 --> 00:02:23.860 and Thursday mornings. This morning, it's partly 00:02:23.860 --> 00:02:28.000 sunny and it feels like 58 degrees with 8 mile 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.520 per hour wind. The sunset will take place at 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:37.460 746 and it will rise again tomorrow at 546. It 00:02:37.460 --> 00:02:39.919 looks like we're in for some mostly sunny skies 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:43.560 today with a high near 72 and a light southwest 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:48.419 breeze. Tonight, expect partly cloudy conditions 00:02:48.419 --> 00:02:53.620 with a low around 60 and light winds. Looking 00:02:53.620 --> 00:02:57.900 ahead in the weather. Expect sunny skies on Tuesday 00:02:57.900 --> 00:03:03.360 and Wednesday, with highs near 78 and 79. Nights 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:07.919 will be partly cloudy, with lows around 62. Thursday 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:11.159 brings mostly sunny skies, while Friday will 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:16.400 be partly sunny, with a high near 75. Bonjour, 00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:19.669 food enthusiasts! This podcast is brought to 00:03:19.669 --> 00:03:23.210 you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 00:03:23.810 --> 00:03:27.250 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of 00:03:27.250 --> 00:03:30.810 Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven for 00:03:30.810 --> 00:03:35.050 culinary delights.

In local 00:03:54.819 --> 00:04:00.620 news, a controversial $125 million deal between 00:04:00.620 --> 00:04:03.860 California and Google aimed at supporting local 00:04:03.860 --> 00:04:07.180 journalism is already set to shrink before any 00:04:07.180 --> 00:04:10.620 funds have been delivered. Governor Gavin Newsom 00:04:10.620 --> 00:04:12.979 proposed cutting the state's initial payment 00:04:12.979 --> 00:04:17.779 from $30 million. to $10 million due to budget 00:04:17.779 --> 00:04:21.579 shortfalls. This move has outraged local news 00:04:21.579 --> 00:04:24.360 advocates, questioning Google's commitment to 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.240 its matching funds. The deal struck last August, 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.920 lacked signed agreements, relying on public promises 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.399 instead. As media companies face significant 00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:38.779 job losses, the reduction in funding raises concerns 00:04:38.779 --> 00:04:41.360 about the future of journalism in California. 00:04:46.730 --> 00:04:51.490 Now on to sports. Scotty Scheffler, the world's 00:04:51.490 --> 00:04:54.170 number one, has claimed his second major title 00:04:54.170 --> 00:04:57.509 of the season at the PGA Championship, winning 00:04:57.509 --> 00:05:00.170 by five strokes at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, 00:05:00.410 --> 00:05:04.269 North Carolina. Despite not being at his best, 00:05:04.490 --> 00:05:06.930 Scheffler secured victory with an impressive 00:05:06.930 --> 00:05:11.430 11 under par. This win marks his third major 00:05:11.430 --> 00:05:15.550 championship. After a shaky start where he briefly 00:05:15.550 --> 00:05:18.709 lost his five -stroke lead, Scheffler regained 00:05:18.709 --> 00:05:22.709 his composure, showcasing his dominance. He has 00:05:22.709 --> 00:05:26.269 held the top ranking since May 2023 and is now 00:05:26.269 --> 00:05:29.230 halfway to a career Grand Slam with the U .S. 00:05:29.230 --> 00:05:35.990 and British Opens approaching. Yesterday afternoon 00:05:35.990 --> 00:05:39.209 in San Diego, the Mariners defeated the Padres 00:05:39.209 --> 00:05:44.420 6 -1. San Diego's lone highlight was a solo homer 00:05:44.420 --> 00:05:47.899 by Tatis Jr. in the first inning, while a Rose 00:05:47.899 --> 00:05:50.339 Arena's three -run blast in the fourth secured 00:05:50.339 --> 00:05:54.459 the win for Seattle. King struggled, taking a 00:05:54.459 --> 00:05:57.600 loss after allowing five runs over five and one 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:02.160 -third innings. The Friars now stand at 27 -18. 00:06:03.339 --> 00:06:06.379 Tomorrow afternoon, the Friars take on the Blue 00:06:06.379 --> 00:06:09.899 Jays in Toronto for Game 1 of a three -game series. 00:06:11.370 --> 00:06:16.569 Dylan sees, with a 4 .60 ERA, faces Chris Bassett, 00:06:16.709 --> 00:06:22.209 boasting a 3 .16 ERA. First pitch is at 4 .07 00:06:22.209 --> 00:06:27.069 at the Rogers Center, under the dome. In top 00:06:27.069 --> 00:06:31.269 news, our return to office mandate is a subtle 00:06:31.269 --> 00:06:34.089 way for companies to encourage employees to quit. 00:06:34.829 --> 00:06:38.829 This theory, once dismissed as cynical, is gaining 00:06:38.829 --> 00:06:42.500 traction. For instance, Amazon's decision to 00:06:42.500 --> 00:06:45.120 end hybrid work prompted an executive to say, 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:51.060 Similar sentiments were echoed by Elon Musk, 00:06:51.339 --> 00:06:54.000 who welcomed a wave of voluntary terminations. 00:06:54.779 --> 00:06:57.519 While some firms believe that in -person work 00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:00.959 boosts productivity, it risks losing top talent. 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.699 Research shows that hybrid work enhances engagement 00:07:04.699 --> 00:07:08.389 and retention. Companies might consider adopting 00:07:08.389 --> 00:07:11.810 more flexible policies to retain their best employees 00:07:11.810 --> 00:07:16.069 while navigating these challenging times. In 00:07:16.069 --> 00:07:20.750 business news, Verizon's $20 billion merger with 00:07:20.750 --> 00:07:24.230 Frontier, a fiber internet provider, has received 00:07:24.230 --> 00:07:26.629 approval from the Federal Communications Commission. 00:07:27.290 --> 00:07:30.649 This agreement allows Verizon to upgrade and 00:07:30.649 --> 00:07:34.069 expand Frontier's fiber networks, aiming to connect 00:07:34.069 --> 00:07:37.980 one million homes annually. The deal was contingent 00:07:37.980 --> 00:07:40.579 upon Verizon's commitment to ending diversity 00:07:40.579 --> 00:07:44.060 equity and inclusion practices, as stated by 00:07:44.060 --> 00:07:48.139 SCC Chair Brendan Carr. Verizon will eliminate 00:07:48.139 --> 00:07:52.279 human resources roles focused on DEI and remove 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:56.120 related terminology from employee training. This 00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:58.920 merger also allows Verizon to reclaim parts of 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:02.600 its fiber business sold in 2015, which will enhance 00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:06.579 connectivity in various communities. In crypto 00:08:06.579 --> 00:08:10.639 movement, Bitcoin is up 0 .5 % over the weekend 00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:17.759 to about $105 ,000. Ethereum is down 7 % to just 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:22.540 under $2 ,400. And Goatseys Maximus is down 1 00:08:22.540 --> 00:08:28.740 % to $0 .15. Moving on to a more local vibe. 00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:32.679 In our community spotlight on health and wellness. 00:08:33.340 --> 00:08:35.720 We are working with a national Pilates studio 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.019 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 00:08:39.820 --> 00:08:43.059 Check out Club Pilates, with several locations 00:08:43.059 --> 00:08:47.080 in the San Diego area.

Just be sure to tell them, 00:09:10.990 --> 00:09:15.129 sunny morning sent you by. And now, back to the 00:09:15.129 --> 00:09:20.629 show. Let's talk science. A recent study reveals 00:09:20.629 --> 00:09:23.470 that a genetic mutation allows some individuals 00:09:23.470 --> 00:09:27.750 to thrive on just four hours of sleep. While 00:09:27.750 --> 00:09:29.929 most require about eight to nine hours to feel 00:09:29.929 --> 00:09:33.259 rested, This short sleep mutation enables people 00:09:33.259 --> 00:09:36.460 to function well after only three to six hours. 00:09:38.059 --> 00:09:41.159 Neuroscientist Yinghuo Fu discovered a new mutation 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:44.440 affecting the gene, which plays a role in regulating 00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:48.679 metabolism and circadian rhythm. This research, 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.000 published in the journal Proceedings of the National 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.059 Academy of Sciences, may lead to new treatments 00:09:54.059 --> 00:09:56.899 for sleep disorders, enhancing our understanding 00:09:56.899 --> 00:10:03.220 of sleep's genetic foundations. Entertainment 00:10:03.220 --> 00:10:07.059 news. Christopher Nolan's upcoming film, The 00:10:07.059 --> 00:10:09.840 Odyssey, will make history as the first feature 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:14.620 film shot entirely on IMAX film. The company 00:10:14.620 --> 00:10:17.379 had to create new film cameras to achieve this 00:10:17.379 --> 00:10:20.879 groundbreaking feat. While Avengers Infinity 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.600 War was the first film shot using IMAX hardware, 00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:28.820 the Odyssey stands up for using film rather than 00:10:28.820 --> 00:10:33.759 digital technology. IMAX CEO Rich Gelfand shared 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:36.159 that the project began with a challenge from 00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:40.480 Nolan, who urged IMAX to innovate. The new cameras 00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:42.919 are lighter, quieter, and will eventually be 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:45.860 available to other filmmakers after the Odyssey 00:10:45.860 --> 00:10:50.509 completes production. Well, alrighty folks, it's 00:10:50.509 --> 00:10:54.450 time for the quote of the day. And today, our 00:10:54.450 --> 00:10:57.470 quote comes from the British naturalist and geologist, 00:10:57.730 --> 00:11:02.909 Charles Darwin. And he said, It is not the strongest 00:11:02.909 --> 00:11:05.950 of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, 00:11:06.210 --> 00:11:10.830 but the one most responsive to change. And that's 00:11:10.830 --> 00:11:13.889 a wrap for this morning. You can check out our 00:11:13.889 --> 00:11:17.990 Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. for some captivating 00:11:17.990 --> 00:11:21.330 aerial videos with local news and the surf reports. 00:11:22.110 --> 00:11:25.269 Have an amazing day, my good friends. We'll see 00:11:25.269 --> 00:11:28.389 you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings 00:11:28.389 --> 00:11:29.049 in San Diego.
