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 --> 00:00:18,800
I'm your host, Melissa, and it's Friday, February 16th.

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:26,080
You'll be interested to know, 67 years ago today, in 1957, the UK's Toddler's Truce,

6
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:31,680
a TV blackout period from 6 to 7 p.m., ended.

7
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:38,240
Implemented post-World War II, this BBC policy allowed parents to manage their kids without

8
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,600
TV distractions.

9
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:47,200
The BBC, then the sole broadcaster, aimed to foster child development and family harmony,

10
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,480
while also saving costs.

11
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:57,160
However, the 1955 launch of ITV, another public broadcast network which relied on advertising

12
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,480
for funding, challenged this practice.

13
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:07,600
ITV saw the truce as unfair, losing them valuable advertising time.

14
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,200
Studies by Hilde Himmelwhite and Mark Abrams revealed children were watching more adult

15
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:18,960
content and often preferred ITV over BBC.

16
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:24,520
This shift led to the truce's end, with the BBC airing the rock and roll show, Six by

17
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,840
Special, rather than radio silence.

18
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,120
And now let's check out the weather in the Encinitas area.

19
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:38,720
This morning it's mostly cloudy skies and 52 degrees, with just about no wind.

20
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:46,440
The sunset will take place at 5.35 p.m. and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.29 a.m.

21
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,600
It looks like we're in for a partly sunny day with a high near 62 and northwest wind

22
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,960
5 to 10 mph.

23
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,960
Tonight it will be mostly cloudy with a low around 53.

24
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:02,640
And here's the surf report.

25
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,560
Today we'll see a rising west-northwest swell, offering mostly waist-to-chest-high

26
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,520
waves with some spots hitting chest-to-head.

27
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,820
Rain conditions look clean with light offshore wind, but expect onshore breezes from the

28
00:02:17,820 --> 00:02:20,800
west by midday.

29
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:26,720
The weekend sees this swell easing, maintaining waist-high surf, with good spots reaching

30
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:27,720
chest-to-shoulder.

31
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:35,440
A new western swell picks up by Saturday afternoon, promising stronger surf into early next week,

32
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,720
especially at good winter breaks.

33
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:46,440
In Encinitas and North County it's looking good and clean at 2 to 4 feet anytime before

34
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:51,960
11 a.m. with a 2-foot outgoing low tide at 7 a.m.

35
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:57,680
The afternoon looks like a blowout, but Sunday morning might be epic.

36
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,560
Stay tuned.

37
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,200
Air temps for the morning surf are around 52 degrees.

38
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,880
The first low tide Friday will be a half foot just before 10 a.m. with a 2-and-a-half foot

39
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,540
high tide just before 5 p.m.

40
00:03:13,540 --> 00:03:19,280
The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 59 and a half degrees for the water

41
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,960
temperature.

42
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:28,080
Looking ahead in the weather, we'll see a partly sunny weekend with highs around 60

43
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,080
degrees and lows around 50.

44
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,680
Monday night brings a slight chance of showers, continuing into Washington's first day and

45
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:43,880
Monday night with mostly cloudy skies and lows in the mid-50s.

46
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,200
Buongiorno, food enthusiasts.

47
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,840

So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

54
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,240
Sunny mornings send you.

55
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:30,960
In local news, San Diego's reggae scene thrives due to its deep roots and diverse influences

56
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,480
and its taking over the national festival circuit.

57
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:41,400
Artists like K-Bong and CG Como highlight this genre's popularity and positive vibe

58
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,180
in Southern California.

59
00:04:44,180 --> 00:04:51,200
The region's Polynesian community and artists from island nations contribute significantly.

60
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:56,680
Local bands like Boostive and Stick Figure, featuring members with varied ethnic backgrounds,

61
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,660
embrace reggae's unifying spirit.

62
00:04:59,660 --> 00:05:05,480
This diversity is celebrated at events like CaliFest, showcasing San Diego's dynamic

63
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,360
reggae talent and its influence on other music genres.

64
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:21,400
The scene's growth is a testament to its authentic, community-focused nature.

65
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,360
Now on to sports.

66
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,960
Caitlin Clark has made history by becoming the all-time leading scorer for Division I

67
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,080
women's basketball.

68
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:36,680
In a game against Michigan, Clark scored the record-breaking point early in the first quarter

69
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:43,700
with a long three-pointer, elevating her total to 3,521.

70
00:05:43,700 --> 00:05:51,600
This achievement places her third in the all-time NCAA scoring list for both men and women.

71
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,460
Beyond her scoring prowess, Clark is also known for her all-around skills, being the

72
00:05:56,460 --> 00:06:04,400
first Division I player with over 3,000 points, 900 assists, and 800 rebounds.

73
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:10,120
Her impact extends beyond the court, significantly boosting attendance at games and contributing

74
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,840
to the growth of women's basketball.

75
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:19,960
This remarkable feat underscores Clark's exceptional talent and influence in the sport.

76
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,000
On to the NBA.

77
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,920
The Lakers and Clippers were off last night, and we have the All-Star Gang coming up this

78
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:27,920
weekend.

79
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:34,200
Last night in national hockey, the Kings were on the road and beat the Devils 2-1, and the

80
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:40,880
Ducks, also on the road, beat the Senators 5-1.

81
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:48,560
In top news, NIT scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in the behavior of heat in superfluid

82
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:55,640
quantum gas, observing for the first time the phenomenon known as second sound.

83
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:01,840
Unlike typical materials where heat spreads out, in superfluid quantum gases, heat moves

84
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:03,980
in waves.

85
00:07:03,980 --> 00:07:09,040
This was visualized using a novel thermography technique that tracks temperature changes

86
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,200
via radio frequencies.

87
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:17,280
This research, important for materials science and astronomy, could shed light on high-temperature

88
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:22,000
superconductors and the physics of neutron stars.

89
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:27,200
The findings offering new insights into the unique properties of superfluids were recently

90
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,040
published in the Journal of Science.

91
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:38,980
In business news, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic indicates that interest rate cuts anticipated

92
00:07:38,980 --> 00:07:45,760
by investors may not occur until at least the third quarter of 2024.

93
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,720
This revised timeline is earlier than his initial forecast, prompted by faster than

94
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,080
expected inflation slowdown.

95
00:07:54,080 --> 00:08:00,520
Bostic anticipates two rate cuts in 2024, but emphasizes caution, prioritizing true

96
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:05,640
signals of inflation decline over volatility.

97
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:11,320
Despite the easing of inflation in January, it remains above expectations, with consumer

98
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,920
prices up 3.1% year over year.

99
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:20,240
The Fed's main focus is bringing inflation down to its 2% target.

100
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:26,360
Bostic stresses the need for a cautious approach to rate cuts to avoid reigniting inflation,

101
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:32,160
and advises against relying on past economic patterns to predict current monetary policy

102
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:37,840
impacts, highlighting the uniqueness of current economic conditions.

103
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:46,360
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is currently just over $52,000, Ethereum is about $2,800 now,

104
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:52,520
and Solana is $114.

105
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,920
Moving on to a more local vibe.

106
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:01,920
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

107
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,120
to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

108
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,240
Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area.

109
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:17,440
Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension,

110
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,440
and elevating mental well-being.

111
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,320
Scientific research affirms its benefits.

112
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:30,680
So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas,

113
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:36,000
Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more.

114
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,160
Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

115
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,560
And now, back to the show.

116
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:46,720
Let's talk tech.

117
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:52,880
Apple's latest TVOS beta code hints at the development of two new HomePod devices with

118
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,160
screens, one nearing production.

119
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:04,000
The code reveals a new TVOS device, code named Z314, featuring an A15 processor, a significant

120
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:10,360
upgrade from the current HomePod's A7, and Mini's S5 processors.

121
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:16,600
This implies enhanced capabilities beyond audio, likely supporting a display.

122
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:22,440
Previous leaks showed Apple testing TVOS on the iCad Mini, aligning with rumors of a larger

123
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,840
display HomePod.

124
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,280
The lineup may include a model similar to the current generation, and a more versatile

125
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,360
one akin to Amazon's Echo Show.

126
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:38,960
Respected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts a 7-inch model launch in early 2024, marking

127
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:44,800
a step in Apple's revamped smart home strategy.

128
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:52,360
And in entertainment news, Dune, part 2, is receiving high praise in its initial reactions,

129
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:58,440
drawing favorable comparisons to iconic films like The Empire Strikes Back and The Lord

130
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,040
of the Rings.

131
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:07,120
Fans are particularly impressed, with Zendaya's performance as Chani, which is described as

132
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,800
central to the movie.

133
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:15,200
Austin Butler's portrayal of the new antagonist Fade Ratha is also being highlighted as a

134
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,280
standout, transformative performance.

135
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:26,320
The film, directed by Denis Villanueva, continues the story of Timothy Chalamets, Paula Treaties,

136
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:31,160
who features a mix of returning and new cast members.

137
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,840
The sequel's battle sequences and visual storytelling are being likened to the works

138
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:42,360
of Peter Jackson, George Lucas, and David Lean, suggesting a cinematic experience on

139
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:47,560
par with some of the most celebrated sci-fi and fantasy epics.

140
00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:54,260
Dune, part 2, is set to release in theaters on March 1, further expanding the ambitious

141
00:11:54,260 --> 00:11:58,080
adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic novel.

142
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:03,240
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

143
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:09,080
And today, our quote comes from the all-time leading scorer for Division 1 women's basketball,

144
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,080
Caitlin Clark.

145
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,680
What were you thinking in that moment, in that timeout?

146
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:18,080
Just grateful, thankful to be surrounded by people, to be in a city that supports women's

147
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,800
basketball so much, be surrounded by my best friends and people that want to see me be

148
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,720
great and push me to be great every single day.

149
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,520
Congratulations, Caitlin.

150
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,640
You deserve it.

151
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,760
And that's a wrap for this week.

152
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:32,760
We did it.

153
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,920
Keep an eye out tomorrow for a bonus episode.

154
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,400
We'll be back soon with another Sunny Mornings podcast.

155
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:52,120
Thanks for tuning in.
