news, strolling along the promenade on Avenida
de la Playa in La Jolla Shores is a delightful
experience for many San Diegans and tourists.
Visitors appreciate the worry -free environment
and lack of traffic. Locals value the outdoor
seating options, especially in the post -COVID
era. However, the future of this car -free street,
closed between El Paseo Grande and Caire de la

special events permit expires on August 9th.
The City is collaborating with the La Jolla Shores
Business Association, to secure a permanent permit,

from increased outdoor dining. Meanwhile, plans
are in review to create new parking spaces near
Kellogg Park, addressing concerns about parking
availability. Now on to sports. As the NFL preseason

he may have discovered Amelia Earhart's lost
plane using Google Earth. Justin Myers, inspired
by a documentary about Earhart's final flight,
examined anomalies near Nikumaroro Island. He
compared these findings with the Lockheed Electra
10 ease measurements and observed what appeared
to be aircraft debris, including a radial engine.
Despite his efforts to present his findings to
various institutions, including the National
Transportation Safety Board and the Australian
Transport Safety Bureau, he has received little
response. Myers remains hopeful, stating, If
this is not Amelia's Electra 10e, then it's the
answer to another mystery. In business news,
companies are increasingly merging their human
resources and information technology departments
under a single leader, driven by the rise of
artificial intelligence. A survey from NextThink
reveals that 64 % of senior IT decision makers
anticipate this integration within five years.
Tracy Franklin, Chief People and Digital Technology
Officer at biotech company Moderna, oversees
both functions, emphasizing a new approach that
blends technology with workforce planning. Similarly,
Fabio Satolo, Chief People and Technology Officer
at Covision, advocates for a unified vision to
enhance employee development and technology adaptation.
Experts warn, however, that merging these distinct
skill sets could dilute essential expertise.

show. Let's talk tech. artificial intelligence
is transforming the consulting landscape, and
McKinsey is feeling the pressure. With AI capable
of analyzing information and creating polished
presentations in mere seconds, the firm is undergoing
a significant shift. Global managing partner
Bob Sternfels noted that AI is now a central
topic in board meetings, influencing client interactions,
hiring practices, and project selection. McKinsey
has deployed thousands of AI agents to assist
consultants, leading to a reduction in workforce
from approximately 45 ,000 to 40 ,000. As consulting
firms adapt, the demand for traditional strategy
advice is declining, signaling a new era in the
industry. My Mother's Wedding is a heartwarming
family dramedy featuring Scarlett Johansson and
Sienna Miller as sisters navigating a complicated
family gathering. Directed by Kristen Scott Thomas,
the film tells the story of three daughters uniting
for their mother's third wedding, unveiling deep
-seated emotional struggles and past dramas.
Despite the touching performances, particularly
from Johansson and Miller, the film occasionally
gets bogged down in exposition, making it feel
uneven. While it captures the essence of familial
bonds and memories, it ultimately struggles to
deliver a coherent emotional punch, leaving audiences
yearning for more depth. Well, alrighty folks,
it's time for the quote of the day. And today,
our quote comes from the American author and

said, change the changeable, accept the unchangeable,
and remove yourself from the unacceptable. And
that's a wrap for this morning. You can check
out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some
captivating aerial videos with local news and
the surf reports. Have an amazing weekend, my
good friends. We'll see you Monday with another
episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
