1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,960 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. 2 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,600 I'm your host Melissa and it's Monday, April 22nd. 3 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,440 Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then 4 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,680 we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science 5 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,840 and entertainment. 6 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:30,720 But first, you'll be interested to know 54 years ago, today in 1970. 7 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,280 The first Earth Day took place. 8 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:38,280 It's a pivotal event that champions the environmental movement's milestones while spotlighting 9 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:43,680 the urgency of safeguarding Earth's natural resources for the future. 10 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:49,280 Originating in the U.S., thanks to Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson and Harvard student 11 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:55,440 Dennis Hayes, the day was set to engage communities in environmental conservation. 12 00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:01,160 Initially rallying 20 million Americans, its influence spurred critical legislation like 13 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,200 the Clean Air Act and the Endangered Species Act. 14 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:11,280 Today, Earth Day engages over a billion people globally, making it one of the most significant 15 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,320 secular observances worldwide. 16 00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:16,200 So now you know. 17 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,440 And now you know what time it is. 18 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:24,320 It's time for the surf report. 19 00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:30,220 Expect south-southwest swell to stick around on Monday with waist-to-stomach and occasional 20 00:01:30,220 --> 00:01:35,780 chest-high surf at average summer breaks in North County San Diego and up to shoulder 21 00:01:35,780 --> 00:01:38,320 high at good spots. 22 00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:43,000 Summer magnets of south county San Diego will push shoulder to head high. 23 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,880 A refresh of south-southwest swell is expected midweek with similar size. 24 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:55,840 Monday in Encinitas and North County, it's looking good and clean at 3 to 4 feet until 25 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:56,840 11. 26 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,840 Then a mix of fair until sunset. 27 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,360 Good deal. 28 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:09,960 Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a 2.5-foot incoming tide when the west swell is 2 feet 29 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,360 at 16 seconds and the onshore wind is 2 mile per hour. 30 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:21,480 The first high tide Monday will be 4 feet at 9 a.m. with a 1-foot low tide just after 31 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:22,480 3. 32 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:30,640 The new shore buoy at Strix in La Jolla reads 63 degrees for the water temperature. 33 00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:34,640 Checking out the weather in the Encinitas area. 34 00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:41,120 This morning it's foggy and feels like 57 degrees with 2 mile per hour wind. 35 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:47,680 The sunset will take place at 724 and it will rise again tomorrow at 609. 36 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,280 It looks like we're in for a mostly cloudy day with a high near 64 and wind of 5 to 10 37 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,000 mile per hour. 38 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,040 Tonight, cloudy with a low around 58. 39 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,280 Looking ahead in the weather. 40 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,960 Tuesday will start cloudy, then gradually become mostly sunny with a high near 63 degrees 41 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,560 and southwest wind 5 to 15 mile per hour. 42 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,640 Wednesday will follow a similar pattern, starting cloudy then turning mostly sunny with a high 43 00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:20,840 near 61. 44 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,520 The rest of the week will be mostly cloudy with highs in the low 60s and a slight chance 45 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,360 of rain Thursday night and Friday. 46 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,280 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 47 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,960 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 48 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:43,360 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven 49 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,160 for culinary delights. 50 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:51,720 Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes. 51 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,480 You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee. 52 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,480 They are open every day from 8 to 5. 53 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,920 So stop on by and don't forget to tell them. 54 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,280 Sunny mornings send you. 55 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:13,780 In local news, California, historically the world's fifth largest economy, might soon 56 00:04:13,780 --> 00:04:20,720 drop to sixth place as India's economy is projected to overtake it in 2024. 57 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:29,640 In 2023, California's GDP was nearly $4 trillion, positioning it just ahead of India's 3.7. 58 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:37,120 However, with India expected to reach a GDP of over $4 trillion in 2024 and California 59 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,560 projected at $4 trillion, this shift is likely. 60 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:47,340 Despite this potential slide, California remains a significant economic powerhouse, leading 61 00:04:47,340 --> 00:04:52,540 in various sectors, including information technology and retail, and surpassing the 62 00:04:52,540 --> 00:05:02,040 combined economies of the 25 smallest U.S. states. 63 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,360 Now on to sports. 64 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:09,200 As the NBA's current media rights agreement nears expiration, the leave looks toward a 65 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,460 potentially lucrative future. 66 00:05:12,460 --> 00:05:20,120 Currently drawing just under $3 billion annually from ESPN and TNT, the NBA's next media rights 67 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:25,760 deals could significantly boost its revenue, with figures potentially doubling the current 68 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,320 intake. 69 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,880 Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery are expected to bid again, but new players like Amazon 70 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:38,880 and NBC are also in the mix, driven by their strategic interests in expanding live sports 71 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,160 offerings. 72 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:46,400 Additionally, streaming giants like Netflix and Apple are eyed as potential bidders, especially 73 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,800 given their interest in global sports content rights. 74 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:56,480 This intense competition underscores the NBA's robust appeal and its strategic position at 75 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,960 the intersection of sports and media innovation. 76 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:10,020 Last night in local sports, the Padres at home beat the Blue Jays 6-3. 77 00:06:10,020 --> 00:06:17,760 In round one of the NBA playoffs, the Clippers at home beat the Mavericks 1-0-9-97. 78 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:24,120 Tonight, the Padres are on the road in Colorado to take on the Rockies. 79 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,200 The Lakers are on the road in Denver to play the Nuggets. 80 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:33,320 And in the National Hockey playoffs, the Kings are on the road in Edmonton to take on the 81 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:34,320 Oilers. 82 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:42,800 In top news, the U.S. House of Representatives has passed a revised bill that could lead 83 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:49,280 to a TikTok ban incorporating measures such as foreign aid to garner bipartisan Senate 84 00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:51,040 support. 85 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:56,680 This new version extends the bite dance deadline to sell TikTok from six to nine months, with 86 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:02,560 a possible 90-day extension by the president, effectively giving up to a year before a ban 87 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,840 might be enforced. 88 00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:09,800 The bill, supported by a strong majority in the House, is poised for quick Senate approval 89 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,960 and President Biden's signature. 90 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:18,340 Amidst concerns over data privacy and national security, the bill aligns with bipartisan 91 00:07:18,340 --> 00:07:24,700 efforts to regulate or limit foreign-controlled digital platforms. 92 00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:31,460 In business news, the recent launch of the Runes Protocol by Casey Rodarmer alongside 93 00:07:31,460 --> 00:07:37,720 Bitcoin's scheduled halving event has unexpectedly boosted transaction fees on the blockchain 94 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,480 to record highs, benefiting miners significantly. 95 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,600 Contrary to expectations that the halving would decrease miner revenues, by cutting 96 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:55,120 block rewards by 50 percent, the introduction of Runes caused a surge in network activity. 97 00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:01,880 This increased demand led to a spike in transaction fees, which hit an average of $128 on the 98 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,500 day of the launch, significantly padding miners' earnings. 99 00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:12,300 This incident underscores the dynamic and unpredictable nature of cryptocurrency economics 100 00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:18,280 and highlights the potential for new technologies to dramatically impact the market. 101 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:23,200 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is $65,000. 102 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,800 Ethereum is just over $3,100. 103 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,280 And Solana is $148. 104 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,960 Moving on to a more local vibe. 105 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:41,920 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 106 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,080 to bring you some free

benefits. 111 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:10,360 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas, 112 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:15,640 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla,

talk health and science. 116 00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:32,160 Artificial intelligence has led to a groundbreaking discovery in prostate cancer research. 117 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:38,800 Scientists, including teams from the universities of Oxford, Manchester, and East Anglia, utilized 118 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:45,400 AI to analyze DNA from 159 prostate cancer patients. 119 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:52,000 This advanced analysis revealed not one, but two distinct types of prostate cancer. 120 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,840 This finding, supported by Cancer Research UK and published in Cell Genomics, is significant 121 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:03,280 as it marks the first use of AI to distinguish cancer types in this manner. 122 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:08,760 By identifying different disease pathways, this technology paves the way for more personalized 123 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:14,600 and potentially less invasive treatment options, moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach 124 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,360 to cancer treatment. 125 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:25,440 And in entertainment news, this weekend at the box office, a tight race unfolds among 126 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:32,640 Universal's Abigail, Lionscape's The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, and A24's Civil 127 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:33,800 War. 128 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:41,240 Opening day saw Abigail leading with $4 million, slightly edging out its competitors. 129 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:47,520 Civil War, in its second week, and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare are not far behind, 130 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,840 both showing potential for solid weekend performances. 131 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:58,280 Despite varied expectations, each film appeals to distinct audiences, from vampire thriller 132 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:05,280 enthusiasts and action comedy fans to those drawn to dystopian narratives. 133 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:11,220 This diversity in genre highlights the dynamic nature of current cinema offerings, underscoring 134 00:11:11,220 --> 00:11:13,600 a vibrant weekend for moviegoers. 135 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:19,480 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 136 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:26,040 And today, in honor of Earth Day, our quote comes from biologist and British broadcaster, 137 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,360 David Attenborough, and the great narrator said, 138 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:44,120 But consider these facts, 96% of the mass of mammals on our planet today are us, and 139 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,600 the livestock that we've domesticated. 140 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:57,360 Only 4% is everything else, from elephants to badgers, tigers to bats. 141 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:08,520 Actually, 70% of all birds are now domesticated poultry, mostly chickens. 142 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,840 Nature once determined how we survive. 143 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:19,040 Now we determine how nature survives. 144 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,560 And that's a wrap for this morning. 145 00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:27,480 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 146 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,000 with local news and the surf reports. 147 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,920 Have an amazing day, my good friends. 148 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:52,960 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
