I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:14.019 and it's Friday, August 1st. You'll be interested 00:00:14.019 --> 00:00:19.839 to know. 191 years ago today, in 1834, the British 00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:23.399 Empire took a monumental step forward by enacting 00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:26.489 the Slavery Abolition Act. which liberated over 00:00:26.489 --> 00:00:30.329 800 ,000 enslaved individuals across its colonies. 00:00:31.030 --> 00:00:34.250 This landmark legislation was the culmination 00:00:34.250 --> 00:00:37.469 of tireless efforts by abolitionists, including 00:00:37.469 --> 00:00:40.369 the dedicated William Wilberforce, and marked 00:00:40.369 --> 00:00:43.090 a significant victory in the global fight for 00:00:43.090 --> 00:00:46.770 human rights. The Act's implementation on August 00:00:46.770 --> 00:00:51.500 1, 1834, set a powerful precedent inspiring other 00:00:51.500 --> 00:00:54.700 nations to confront and abolish the inhumane 00:00:54.700 --> 00:00:59.960 practice of slavery. So now you know. And now, 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:06.680 it's time for the Surf Report. Friday at Tourmaline 00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:10.799 and South San Diego.

The first 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:50.980 low tide Friday will be 2 .5 foot at 7 .45 a 00:01:50.980 --> 00:01:56.099 .m. with a 4 .5 foot high tide at 3 .30. The 00:01:56.099 --> 00:02:00.120 near shore buoy at Mission Day West reads 69 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:04.379 degrees for the water temperature. Saturday through 00:02:04.379 --> 00:02:08.659 Monday features a mix of conditions. Saturday 00:02:08.659 --> 00:02:11.520 starts with clean 2 plus feet waves. shifting 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:15.099 to choppy in the afternoon as winds reach 8 mph. 00:02:16.379 --> 00:02:19.840 Sunday offers clean 3 plus feet waves in the 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:23.879 morning, transitioning to choppy by midday. Monday 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.219 sees air conditions with 2 to 4 feet waves, becoming 00:02:27.219 --> 00:02:31.000 choppy in the afternoon but stabilizing to clean 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:36.439 by evening.

Bonjour, food enthusiasts! 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.360 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles 00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:46.259 Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas.

They are open every day from 8 to 5. 00:04:08.909 --> 00:04:11.710 So stop on by and don't forget to tell them. 00:04:11.849 --> 00:04:18.389 Sunny Morning sends you. In local news, the Supreme 00:04:18.389 --> 00:04:21.449 Court has recently criticized California's development 00:04:21.449 --> 00:04:26.110 fees, but a new ruling has upheld them. A panel 00:04:26.110 --> 00:04:29.149 of appellate judges in California's 3rd Appellate 00:04:29.149 --> 00:04:32.069 District ruled that El Dorado County's traffic 00:04:32.069 --> 00:04:38.519 mitigation fee of $23 ,420 was justified. This 00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:41.819 case, stemming from a 2016 lawsuit by George 00:04:41.819 --> 00:04:44.720 Sheets, originally reached the U .S. Supreme 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.620 Court, which emphasized that local governments 00:04:47.620 --> 00:04:51.540 must justify their fees. However, the recent 00:04:51.540 --> 00:04:53.879 ruling indicates that the county's methodology 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:58.139 was valid. Attorney Brian Hodges noted that while 00:04:58.139 --> 00:05:00.860 they may appeal, the Supreme Court's order leaves 00:05:00.860 --> 00:05:09.339 many local requirements in legal jeopardy. Now 00:05:09.339 --> 00:05:13.420 on to sports. What a wild trade deadline it was. 00:05:14.100 --> 00:05:17.339 We often wonder if anything significant will 00:05:17.339 --> 00:05:20.079 happen, and then we are shocked by trades like 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:23.459 Carlos Correa returning to the Astros and the 00:05:23.459 --> 00:05:27.139 San Diego Padres acquiring Mason Miller and JP 00:05:27.139 --> 00:05:31.420 Sears. Once the dust settled, we began speculating 00:05:31.420 --> 00:05:34.819 on the big winners. The Seattle Mariners look 00:05:34.819 --> 00:05:38.160 strong with Eugenio Suarez. while the Philadelphia 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.040 Phillies bolstered their bullpen with Joan Duran. 00:05:41.819 --> 00:05:45.240 The Mets addressed key needs by acquiring Cedric 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.160 Mullins, and the Oakland Athletics made a splash 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.939 with Leo DeVries. This year's deadline certainly 00:05:51.939 --> 00:05:57.839 kept us on our toes. In local sports. Tonight, 00:05:58.060 --> 00:06:00.920 the Padres open a three -game series against 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:05.310 the St. Louis Cardinals at Petco Park. Nick Pivetta 00:06:05.310 --> 00:06:08.689 takes the mound with a record of 10 -3 and a 00:06:08.689 --> 00:06:12.930 stellar 2 .81 earned run average. He'll face 00:06:12.930 --> 00:06:16.170 Matthew Liberatore, who stands at 6 -8 with a 00:06:16.170 --> 00:06:21.290 4 .04. Aim time is 6 .40 under clear skies at 00:06:21.290 --> 00:06:28.199 71 degrees. In top news. A new study from researchers 00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:31.540 at the University of California, San Diego offers 00:06:31.540 --> 00:06:35.639 promising insights into early detection of pancreatic 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:39.100 ductal adenocarcinoma, the most common and aggressive 00:06:39.100 --> 00:06:43.279 form of pancreatic cancer. This research identifies 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.120 a link between inflammation, cellular stress, 00:06:46.379 --> 00:06:51.500 and a protein known as CysteAT3. This protein 00:06:51.500 --> 00:06:54.620 activates critical genes, including integrin 00:06:54.620 --> 00:06:58.709 beta -3, which promotes tumor formation. The 00:06:58.709 --> 00:07:01.889 study introduces a gene signature called StressUp, 00:07:02.050 --> 00:07:04.550 which could help in early screening and treatment 00:07:04.550 --> 00:07:07.850 strategies. The hope is to develop therapies 00:07:07.850 --> 00:07:10.550 that prevent cancer progression across various 00:07:10.550 --> 00:07:15.970 types. In business news, Wall Street was stunned 00:07:15.970 --> 00:07:19.089 as MicroStrategy stock reached an unprecedented 00:07:19.089 --> 00:07:25.540 high of $410 on July 31st, closing at... 401. 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.839 This remarkable rally marks a staggering increase 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:36.100 of over 3 ,700 % since its debut in 1998. The 00:07:36.100 --> 00:07:39.000 search follows the company's extraordinary second 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:41.740 quarter earnings report, which revealed earnings 00:07:41.740 --> 00:07:46.060 of $32 per share, exceeding expectations by an 00:07:46.060 --> 00:07:51.420 impressive 35 ,000%. Additionally, revenues reach 00:07:51.420 --> 00:07:56.220 just over $114 million, exceeding last year's 00:07:56.220 --> 00:08:00.300 figures. Investors are clearly rewarding the 00:08:00.300 --> 00:08:04.000 company's bold focus on Bitcoin and digital assets. 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:09.519 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 3 % for the 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:16.160 week to about $116 ,000. Ethereum is down 5 % 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:22.709 to just under $3 ,700. And XRP is down 9 % to 00:08:22.709 --> 00:08:30.550 $2 .95. Moving on to a more local vibe.

Scientists have traced 00:09:20.830 --> 00:09:23.809 the origins of the beloved potato to a fascinating 00:09:23.809 --> 00:09:27.950 plant romance millions of years ago. A recent 00:09:27.950 --> 00:09:30.750 study published in the journal Cell reveals that 00:09:30.750 --> 00:09:34.289 8 to 9 million years ago, a crossbreeding event 00:09:34.289 --> 00:09:37.129 between an ancient tomato relative and another 00:09:37.129 --> 00:09:41.590 plant led to the first potato. This genetic combination 00:09:41.590 --> 00:09:45.330 resulted in the thick, starchy tuber we enjoy 00:09:45.330 --> 00:09:48.919 today. With potatoes being the world's third 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.139 most important staple crop, researchers aim to 00:09:52.139 --> 00:09:54.639 develop a new hybrid that can grow from seeds, 00:09:54.940 --> 00:09:58.220 helping to eliminate harmful mutations and avoid 00:09:58.220 --> 00:10:01.480 disease risks, reminiscent of the tragic Irish 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:09.919 potato famine. A lot of music fans are upset 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.919 with Spotify, following recent controversies 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:16.899 surrounding its CEO, Daniel Ek. His decision 00:10:16.899 --> 00:10:19.539 to invest in an artificial intelligence -powered 00:10:19.539 --> 00:10:22.759 military technology firm has raised eyebrows. 00:10:23.419 --> 00:10:27.840 Ex -venture capital firm Premamateria has invested 00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:30.720 significantly in the German startup Helsing, 00:10:30.820 --> 00:10:33.799 which develops software for military decision 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:38.200 -making and manufactures drones. In protest, 00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:41.200 the Australian rock band King Gizzard and the 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.039 Lizard Wizard has removed their music from the 00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:47.320 platform. They announced on Instagram that they 00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:50.539 are releasing new demos out everywhere except 00:10:50.539 --> 00:10:53.820 Spotify, urging fans to consider alternative 00:10:53.820 --> 00:10:59.419 platforms. Other bands like Deerhoof and Shuik 00:10:59.419 --> 00:11:04.340 Su have joined the protest. Well, alrighty folks, 00:11:04.620 --> 00:11:08.480 it's time for the quote of the day. And today, 00:11:08.659 --> 00:11:11.220 our quote comes from the American civil rights 00:11:11.220 --> 00:11:15.559 activist and author Audre Lorde. And she said, 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:20.179 it is not our differences that divide us. It 00:11:20.179 --> 00:11:23.679 is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate 00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:27.860 those differences. And that's a wrap for this 00:11:27.860 --> 00:11:31.279 morning. You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:34.820 and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 00:11:34.820 --> 00:11:38.889 with local news and the surf reports.
