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 Tuesday, May 28th. 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 --> 00:00:24,160 and entertainment. 6 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,640 But first, you'll be interested to know. 7 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:33,760 Brisket, a cut from the breast area of beef, is more versatile than many realize. 8 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:38,240 And if you didn't already stuff yourself with beef over Memorial Day weekend, you'll 9 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,840 be happy to know today's National Brisket Day. 10 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:47,840 It's a great day to explore its potential beyond barbecue and corned beef. 11 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:53,540 Divided into point and flat cuts, brisket offers diverse cooking options. 12 00:00:53,540 --> 00:00:59,200 The point cut, rich in fat and connective tissue, excels in braising or smoking, delivering 13 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,580 robust flavor. 14 00:01:01,580 --> 00:01:07,140 The leaner flat cut requires different preparation, but remains flavorful. 15 00:01:07,140 --> 00:01:09,020 So now you know. 16 00:01:09,020 --> 00:01:11,240 And now you know what time it is. 17 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:16,880 It's time for the surf report. 18 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:22,800 Expect minor northwest windswale on Tuesday, with most breaks below waist-high and top 19 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:28,000 spots potentially hitting thigh-to-waist-high on the better tides. 20 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,480 The windswale should come up slightly on Wednesday, but still looks quite small. 21 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:38,640 New southwest swell trickling in may give a very slight boost, with the best spots in 22 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,880 South County potentially reaching waist-high. 23 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,960 Tuesday in Encinitas and North County. 24 00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:51,920 It's looking fair at 2 to 3 feet until 11 a.m. 25 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,440 Quite a rough patch, but might see some rideable waves again around sunset. 26 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:03,560 Best time to ride is at 9 a.m. with a zero-foot low tide when the west-northwest swell is 27 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,960 one foot at 16 seconds and the onshore wind is six mile per hour. 28 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:14,960 The first low tide Tuesday will be minus a half foot at 8, with a four-foot high tide 29 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,360 at 3.30. 30 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:24,840 The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reached 65 degrees for the water temperature. 31 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,760 Checking out the weather in the Encinitas area. 32 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:35,360 This morning it's cloudy and feels like 59 degrees, with two mile per hour wind. 33 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:42,320 The sunset will take place at 7.49 and it will rise again tomorrow at 5.42. 34 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,640 It looks like we're in for a cloudy morning, then gradually becoming mostly sunny with 35 00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:52,000 a high near 63 and wind of 5 to 10 mile per hour. 36 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000 Tonight cloudy with a low around 59. 37 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,320 Looking ahead in the weather. 38 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:07,120 Wednesday will start cloudy, then gradually become

Residential plan to develop 850 luxury apartments at Fashion 50 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,780 Valley, replacing the closing JC Penny store. 51 00:04:04,780 --> 00:04:10,740 The project will also include 100,000 square feet of new retail and dining space, with 52 00:04:10,740 --> 00:04:16,580 construction beginning in 2025 and completion by 2026. 53 00:04:16,580 --> 00:04:21,900 This development is part of Fashion Valley's ongoing revitalization, enhancing its appeal 54 00:04:21,900 --> 00:04:33,400 with unique luxury brands and creating a sophisticated, walkable community in San Diego. 55 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,200 Now on to sports! 56 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,600 Controversial umpire. 57 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:44,560 Angel Hernandez is retiring immediately, after a career marked by criticism for inconsistent 58 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,440 calls and quick ejections. 59 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:55,720 Hernandez, who debuted in 1991, hasn't officiated since May 9, as he and MLB negotiated his 60 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,280 exit. 61 00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:01,640 Despite being a lightning rod for complaints from players and not being promoted to crew 62 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,900 chief, Hernandez stated his departure was voluntary and aimed at spending more time 63 00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:08,720 with family. 64 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,720 His lawyer emphasized he wasn't forced out. 65 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,200 Hernandez's career has been a source of debate, culminating in his decision to step 66 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,760 down. 67 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,200 And the baseball world rejoices. 68 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,400 Can't say he'll be missed. 69 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:32,160 Last night in local sports, the Padres at home beat the Marlins 2-1. 70 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,160 And tonight. 71 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:40,640 But they're back at it with starters, Heysa's Luzardo facing Matt Waldron. 72 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:50,360 In top news, Elon Musk's AI startup, XAI, secured $6 billion in Series B funding, raising 73 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,640 its valuation to $24 billion. 74 00:05:54,640 --> 00:06:01,200 Notable investors include Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, and Saudi Prince, Alvalid 75 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,560 Bin Talal. 76 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:12,160 This investment follows Amazon's recent $2.75 billion boost to AI startup Anthropic. 77 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:19,080 Despite Amazon's significant AI investments, it lags behind leaders like OpenAI, Google, 78 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,840 and other large-language models. 79 00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:29,640 XAI's integration with Elon's social platform, X, offers a vast data pool for training its 80 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,720 chatbot, known as Grooke. 81 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:41,280 However, quality and ethical considerations in AI training data remain critical challenges. 82 00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:50,940 In business news, Bitcoin has surged past $70,000, while Ethereum is nearing $4,000. 83 00:06:50,940 --> 00:06:57,360 This price jump coincides with Argentina exploring Bitcoin as legal tender, following discussions 84 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,600 with El Salvador's Digital Assets Commission. 85 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:07,640 Argentina's new leader, Javier Milley, is considering this move, inspired by El Salvador's 86 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,080 pioneering adoption of Bitcoin in 2021. 87 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:18,320 This development has led to $28 million in liquidations, mostly short positions, and 88 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:24,240 coincides with the SEC's approval of Spot Ethereum, ETS, boosting Ethereum's market 89 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,040 performance. 90 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:31,160 In other crypto movement, Tether is just under $1. 91 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,800 Binance Coin is $600. 92 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,520 And Solana is $165. 93 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,920 Moving on to a more local vibe. 94 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:48,880 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 95 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,200 to bring you

105 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:40,160 Toyota, Subaru, and Mazda have jointly committed to developing new engines optimized for electrification, 106 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:45,080 focusing on compact designs to save space under the hood. 107 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:50,240 This initiative aims to enhance vehicle design and integrate motors, batteries, and other 108 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,720 electric drive units. 109 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:58,480 Additionally, the engines will support alternative fuels like e-fuels and biofuels, aiding in 110 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,520 decarbonizing internal combustion engines. 111 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:08,840 This move aligns with stricter emission standards such as the EU's Euro 7, set to take effect 112 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,840 in 2030. 113 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:16,680 Toyota's multi-pathway approach includes hybrids, hydrogen fuel cell, and traditional 114 00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:20,360 fuel burning vehicles. 115 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:28,080 And in entertainment news, this year's Memorial Day weekend box office is on track to be the 116 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:39,240 worst since 1995, with estimated ticket sales of $128 million, down from last year's $205. 117 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:46,480 Furiosa, a Mad Max saga, topped the weekend with $32 million in sales. 118 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,640 The box office is still feeling the effects of last year's Hollywood strikes and production 119 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,140 delays. 120 00:09:54,140 --> 00:09:59,640 Upcoming releases like Deadpool and Wolverine, and Inside Out 2, are expected to help the 121 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:06,000 summer box office recover, but overall 2024 earnings are projected to be 10% lower than 122 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,480 last year. 123 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:13,160 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 124 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:20,400 And today, our quote comes from the American philosopher and Bostonian, Ralph Waldo Emerson. 125 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,880 He said, 126 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,240 For each thorn, there's a rosebud. 127 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,120 For each twilight, a dawn. 128 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,000 For each trial, the strength to carry on. 129 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,600 For each storm cloud, a rainbow. 130 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,400 For each shadow, the sun. 131 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:46,120 For each parting, sweet memories when sorrow is done. 132 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,640 And that's a wrap for this morning. 133 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:54,720 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos, 134 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,120 with local news and the surf reports. 135 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,960 Have an amazing day, my good friends. 136 00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:10,680 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
