1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,360 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. 2 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:12,080 We're the daily podcast that gets you started on the right foot and always with a positive 3 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,080 vibe. 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:18,320 I'm your host, Melissa, and it's Friday, February 9th. 5 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:23,160 You'll be interested to know, today is National Pizza Day. 6 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:29,040 Believe it or not, before World War II, pizza was largely unknown outside Italy and its 7 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,980 immigrant communities. 8 00:00:30,980 --> 00:00:37,280 From a niche cultural dish, this cheesy delight has transformed into a global sensation, making 9 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,840 it the star wherever it's served. 10 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:45,720 So let's celebrate pizza's remarkable journey today and scarf some za. 11 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,000 Now let's check out the weather in the Encinitas area. 12 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,040 This morning we got light showers in 50 degrees with 4 mile per hour wind. 13 00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:04,000 The sunset will take place at 5.27 pm and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.37 am. 14 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,200 It looks like we're in for some showers before 10 am, then partly sunny with a high near 15 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,360 56 and east wind 5 to 10 mile per hour. 16 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,360 Chance of precipitation is 30 percent. 17 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,320 New rain amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. 18 00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:29,540 Tonight, partly cloudy with a low around 50 and west wind 10 to 15 mile per hour. 19 00:01:29,540 --> 00:01:35,640 In the Surf Report, Friday sees a decrease in size with cleaner conditions. 20 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,880 Expect waves from waist to chest in the morning. 21 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:44,440 Over the weekend, a fading northwest swell offers waist to chest high waves, improving 22 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:49,840 later Sunday with a new long period northwest swell. 23 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:55,440 Next Monday and Tuesday anticipate fun waves in the chest to head high range. 24 00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:01,160 In Encinitas and North County, it's looking rough at 2 feet in the morning with a very 25 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,120 short window of rideability before 10 am. 26 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:10,280 The good news is the weekend brings some normal looking surf once again. 27 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:15,880 The first high tide Friday will be 7 feet around 8 am with a low tide at menace 2 feet 28 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,920 around 3 pm. 29 00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:27,320 A nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 58 degrees for the water temperature. 30 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,800 Looking ahead in the weather, we'll see a sunny and mild weekend ahead. 31 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:37,480 Saturday brings sunshine with a high near 57 degrees and north wind shifting west in 32 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:38,920 the afternoon. 33 00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:43,480 Nighttime will be mostly clear, dropping to around 47. 34 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:49,640 Monday and Monday continue with clear sunny skies, highs near 59 degrees, and nights remaining 35 00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:53,760 mostly clear with lows close to 47. 36 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,520 Looks like we are getting back to normal. 37 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,320 Bonjour, food enthusiasts! 38 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:05,960 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe

--> 00:03:37,080 Sunny mornings send you! 46 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,080 In Local News 47 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:46,440 In early 2025, San Diego will see the groundbreaking of REVL, a 40-story residential high-rise 48 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,800 near Peco Park. 49 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:56,560 This development, located at 611 Island Avenue, is set to offer 443 homes. 50 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:02,720 Designed by Carrier Johnson, the building integrates the historic 1869 Klauber-Weingenheim 51 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,760 Company building, currently occupied by ballpark storage. 52 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:13,520 The developers aims for a community-centric, environmentally conscious design focusing 53 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,760 on San Diego's climate action goals. 54 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:23,320 Unique features include on-site EV charging, reduced parking to encourage alternative transport, 55 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:28,360 secure bike storage, and a roofed-up terrace with a pool. 56 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:33,240 Art from local artists will be showcased and the facilities will have a LEED Silver Energy 57 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,320 Certification. 58 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:47,960 The developer emphasizes the project's role in urbanizing and enhancing San Diego's lifestyle. 59 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,000 Now on to sports. 60 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:57,920 Super Bowl 58, airing on CBS and Paramount+, promises a spectacular viewing experience, 61 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:03,240 despite not being broadcast in 4K on Paramount+. 62 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:09,280 Set in Las Vegas at Legion Stadium, the event will deploy an impressive array of technology, 63 00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:15,400 including a record 24 cameras with 4K zoom extraction capability. 64 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:22,200 These high-tech cameras enable super slow-motion replace and crystal-clear zoomed images. 65 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:29,240 Additionally, CBS is introducing 20 cameras, embedded in end-zone pylons, featuring six 66 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:36,880 doing cameras in side uprights for an unprecedented view of field goals and extra points. 67 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:44,240 Augmented reality cameras, totaling 23, will integrate graphics into CBS coverage and Nickelodeon's 68 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,240 SpongeBob SquarePants-themed broadcast. 69 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:55,680 In total, CBS will use 165 cameras, ensuring comprehensive coverage from multiple angles, 70 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,320 crucial for accurate play reviews. 71 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:06,880 In the NBA last night, the Lakers at home against the Nuggets lost 114 to 106. 72 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:13,040 Tonight, the Lakers remain at home to play the Pelicans. 73 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:20,640 And in the NHL, the Ducks are back at it, playing at home tonight against the Oilers. 74 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:29,320 In a notable shift, some economists are revising their 2024 economic forecast, reducing their 75 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:34,880 prediction of interest rate cuts from 9 to just 2. 76 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:41,160 This change is driven by the robust performance of the U.S. economy, defying earlier expectations 77 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,040 of a recession. 78 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:48,780 Recent data, including January's impressive job growth and strong GDP figures for the 79 00:06:48,780 --> 00:06:55,680 end of 2023 and early 2024, have prompted this revision. 80 00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,320 Some now anticipate a steady unemployment rate and suggest the Federal Reserve might 81 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:06,200 delay rate cuts till later in the year to avoid reigniting inflation. 82 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:12,600 Despite this optimistic outlook, some caution that economic risks remain, though a mild 83 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:19,600 recession is no longer the expected baseline for 2024 or 2025. 84 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:25,840 In the stock and crypto markets, Promptium, a new entrant in the cryptocurrency industry, 85 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:32,400 is taking a distinctive approach by seeking approval to operate as a special-purpose broker-dealer 86 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:37,740 and alternative trading platform for digital asset securities. 87 00:07:37,740 --> 00:07:43,640 This strategy is in contrast to major crypto exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken, which 88 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,160 are pushing for changes to existing regulations. 89 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:52,640 Promptium's plan to offer custodial services for Ether could compel the Securities and 90 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:58,240 Exchange Commission to reassess Ethereum's legal classification, possibly seeing it as 91 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,560 a security. 92 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:06,280 This potential reclassification stems from SEC Chair Gary Gensler's recent comments 93 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:11,920 suggesting that most cryptocurrencies, except Bitcoin, might be securities due to their 94 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,260 investment-focused nature. 95 00:08:15,260 --> 00:08:20,020 This perspective differs from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's views, highlighting 96 00:08:20,020 --> 00:08:22,740 a regulatory divide. 97 00:08:22,740 --> 00:08:32,400 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is nearing $45,300, Ethereum is about $2,400, and Solana is almost 98 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,760 $103. 99 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,080 Moving on to a more local vibe. 100 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:46,080 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 101 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,480 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 102 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,400 Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area. 103 00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:01,640 Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension, 104 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,120 and elevating mental well-being. 105 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,520 Scientific research affirms its benefits. 106 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:14,840 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas, 107 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:20,160 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 108 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,340 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 109 00:09:24,340 --> 00:09:28,640 And now back to the show. 110 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,360 Let's talk science. 111 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:35,800 In a groundbreaking development, scientists have potentially revolutionized electric vehicles 112 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,480 by extending their range. 113 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:44,920 Currently, EDs can travel about 435 miles on a single charge. 114 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:50,320 The new research, published in Advanced Science, suggests using a special gel could increase 115 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,920 this to 620 miles. 116 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:59,040 This breakthrough involves micro-silicon particles and gel polymer electrolytes. 117 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:06,400 Silicon, known for high energy storage, expands during charging, posing a challenge. 118 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:11,960 But the new approach uses micrometer-size silicon, with a gel electrolyte enhancing 119 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:17,160 battery stability and increasing energy density by 40%. 120 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:22,960 This innovation could make EVs even more attractive and environmentally friendly. 121 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,960 And in entertainment news. 122 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:33,720 Granny-winning DJ, Tiësto has unexpectedly withdrawn from his historic Super Bowl performance 123 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,120 due to a family emergency. 124 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:41,260 Scheduled to be the first in-game DJ at the Super Bowl, he was set to play during warm-ups 125 00:10:41,260 --> 00:10:45,400 and breaks at Las Vegas Allegiant Stadium. 126 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:51,320 Announcing his decision on social media, Tiësto emphasized that family comes first, despite 127 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,240 the difficulty of missing this significant event. 128 00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:00,680 The NFL, collaborating closely with Tiësto, expressed understanding and looks forward 129 00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:03,880 to future projects with him. 130 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,600 But there is still some good news. 131 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:10,760 This year's Super Bowl will feature Usher as the halftime headliner, with pre-king performances 132 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:15,960 by Reba McEntire, Post Malone and Andra Day. 133 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,760 Well alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 134 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,200 And today our quote comes from Reba McEntire. 135 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,960 And the country singer said, 136 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,680 To succeed in life, you need three things. 137 00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:35,400 A wishbone, a backbone, and a funny bone. 138 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,560 And that's a wrap for this week. 139 00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:38,880 We did it. 140 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,040 Keep an eye out tomorrow for a bonus episode. 141 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,960 Have an amazing weekend my good friends. 142 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,800 Stay safe and enjoy yourself to the fullest. 143 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,400 We'll be back soon with another Sunny Mornings podcast. 144 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,280 Thanks for tuning in.
