While 00:00:35.539 --> 00:00:38.140 it reflected the complexities of its time, the 00:00:38.140 --> 00:00:40.719 Act also set the stage for future discussions 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.579 and reforms, highlighting the nation's evolving 00:00:43.579 --> 00:00:48.520 approach to diversity and inclusion.

In local news, a controversial $125 00:03:55.210 --> 00:03:59.930 million deal between California and Google aimed 00:03:59.930 --> 00:04:02.770 at supporting local journalism is already set 00:04:02.770 --> 00:04:05.250 to shrink before any funds have been delivered. 00:04:06.189 --> 00:04:09.169 Governor Gavin Newsom proposed cutting the state's 00:04:09.169 --> 00:04:13.310 initial payment from $30 million to $10 million 00:04:13.310 --> 00:04:17.949 due to budget shortfalls. This move has outraged 00:04:17.949 --> 00:04:20.930 local news advocates, questioning Google's commitment 00:04:20.930 --> 00:04:25.209 to its matching funds. The deal struck last August, 00:04:25.410 --> 00:04:28.870 lacked signed agreements, relying on public promises 00:04:28.870 --> 00:04:32.410 instead. As media companies face significant 00:04:32.410 --> 00:04:35.660 job losses, The reduction in funding raises concerns 00:04:35.660 --> 00:04:38.360 about the future of journalism in California. 00:04:43.540 --> 00:04:48.420 Now on to sports. Scotty Scheffler, the world's 00:04:48.420 --> 00:04:51.139 number one, has claimed his second major title 00:04:51.139 --> 00:04:54.480 of the season at the PGA Championship, winning 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.139 by five strokes at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:01.209 North Carolina. Despite not being at his best, 00:05:01.490 --> 00:05:03.870 Scheffler secured victory with an impressive 00:05:03.870 --> 00:05:08.410 11 under par. This win marks his third major 00:05:08.410 --> 00:05:12.509 championship. After a shaky start where he briefly 00:05:12.509 --> 00:05:15.670 lost his five -stroke lead, Scheffler regained 00:05:15.670 --> 00:05:19.670 his composure, showcasing his dominance. He has 00:05:19.670 --> 00:05:23.230 held the top ranking since May 2023 and is now 00:05:23.230 --> 00:05:26.149 halfway to a career Grand Slam with the U .S. 00:05:26.149 --> 00:05:30.579 and British Opens approaching. in local sports. 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.019 Yesterday afternoon in San Diego, the Mariners 00:05:35.019 --> 00:05:39.879 defeated the Padres 6 -1. San Diego's lone highlight 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:43.500 was a solo homer by Tatis Jr. in the first inning, 00:05:43.660 --> 00:05:46.959 while a Rosarino's three -run blast in the fourth 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.439 secured the win for Seattle. King struggled, 00:05:50.779 --> 00:05:53.879 taking a loss after allowing five runs over five 00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.600 and one -third innings. The Friars now stand 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:02.449 at... 27 -18. Tomorrow afternoon, the Friars 00:06:02.449 --> 00:06:05.689 take on the Blue Jays in Toronto for Game 1 of 00:06:05.689 --> 00:06:10.709 a three -game series. Dillon sees, with a 4 .60 00:06:10.709 --> 00:06:16.189 ERA, faces Chris Bassett, boasting a 3 .16 ERA. 00:06:17.269 --> 00:06:20.310 First pitch is at 4 .07 at the Rogers Center, 00:06:20.550 --> 00:06:26.689 under the dome. In top news, our return to office 00:06:26.689 --> 00:06:29.879 mandate. is a subtle way for companies to encourage 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:33.639 employees to quit. This theory, once dismissed 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:37.879 as cynical, is gaining traction. For instance, 00:06:38.139 --> 00:06:40.839 Amazon's decision to end hybrid work prompted 00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:43.680 an executive to say, there are other companies 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:47.600 around. Similar sentiments were echoed by Elon 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.959 Musk, who welcomed a wave of voluntary terminations. 00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.500 While some firms believe that in -person work 00:06:54.500 --> 00:06:57.910 boosts productivity, it risks losing top talent. 00:06:58.410 --> 00:07:01.670 Research shows that hybrid work enhances engagement 00:07:01.670 --> 00:07:05.310 and retention. Companies might consider adopting 00:07:05.310 --> 00:07:08.769 more flexible policies to retain their best employees 00:07:08.769 --> 00:07:13.050 while navigating these challenging times. In 00:07:13.050 --> 00:07:17.709 business news, Verizon's $20 billion merger with 00:07:17.709 --> 00:07:21.170 Frontier, a fiber internet provider, has received 00:07:21.170 --> 00:07:23.589 approval from the Federal Communications Commission. 00:07:24.620 --> 00:07:27.620 This agreement allows Verizon to upgrade and 00:07:27.620 --> 00:07:31.019 expand Frontier's fiber networks, aiming to connect 00:07:31.019 --> 00:07:34.939 1 million homes annually. The deal was contingent 00:07:34.939 --> 00:07:37.519 upon Verizon's commitment to ending diversity 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:41.000 equity and inclusion practices, as stated by 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:45.120 SCC Chair Brendan Carr. Verizon will eliminate 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:49.220 human resources roles focused on DEI and remove 00:07:49.220 --> 00:07:53.060 related terminology from employee training. This 00:07:53.060 --> 00:07:55.879 merger also allows Verizon to reclaim parts of 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:59.220 its fiber business, sold in 2015, which will 00:07:59.220 --> 00:08:01.660 enhance connectivity in various communities. 00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:07.160 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is up 0 .5 % over 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:13.120 the weekend to about $105 ,000. Ethereum is down 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:18.480 7 % to just under $2 ,400. And Goatseys Maximus 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:25.310 is down 1 % to $0 .15.

Just be sure to tell them 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:12.080 Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the 00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:17.629 show. Let's talk science. A recent study reveals 00:09:17.629 --> 00:09:20.429 that a genetic mutation allows some individuals 00:09:20.429 --> 00:09:24.690 to thrive on just four hours of sleep. While 00:09:24.690 --> 00:09:26.889 most require about eight to nine hours to feel 00:09:26.889 --> 00:09:30.210 rested, this short sleep mutation enables people 00:09:30.210 --> 00:09:33.409 to function well after only three to six hours. 00:09:34.990 --> 00:09:38.110 Neuroscientist Yinghuo Fu discovered a new mutation 00:09:38.110 --> 00:09:41.389 affecting the gene, which plays a role in regulating 00:09:41.389 --> 00:09:45.620 metabolism and circadian rhythm. This research, 00:09:45.779 --> 00:09:47.960 published in the journal Proceedings of the National 00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:51.000 Academy of Sciences, may lead to new treatments 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.840 for sleep disorders, enhancing our understanding 00:09:53.840 --> 00:10:00.120 of sleep's genetic foundations. Entertainment 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:04.379 News Christopher Nolan's upcoming film, The Odyssey, 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:07.639 will make history as the first feature film shot 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:12.190 entirely on IMAX film. The company had to create 00:10:12.190 --> 00:10:14.850 new film cameras to achieve this groundbreaking 00:10:14.850 --> 00:10:19.309 feat. While Avengers Infinity War was the first 00:10:19.309 --> 00:10:23.470 film shot using IMAX hardware, the Odyssey stands 00:10:23.470 --> 00:10:26.990 up for using film rather than digital technology. 00:10:28.370 --> 00:10:31.549 IMAX CEO Rich Gelfand shared that the project 00:10:31.549 --> 00:10:34.330 began with a challenge from Nolan, who urged 00:10:34.330 --> 00:10:37.980 IMAX to innovate. The new cameras are lighter, 00:10:38.100 --> 00:10:40.580 quieter, and will eventually be available to 00:10:40.580 --> 00:10:43.279 other filmmakers after the Odyssey completes 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:47.960 production. Well, alrighty folks, it's time for 00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:51.940 the quote of the day. And today, our quote comes 00:10:51.940 --> 00:10:55.139 from the British naturalist and geologist, Charles 00:10:55.139 --> 00:10:59.820 Darwin. And he said, It is not the strongest 00:10:59.820 --> 00:11:02.879 of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, 00:11:03.139 --> 00:11:07.720 but the one most responsive to change. And that's 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:10.700 a wrap for this morning. You can check out our 00:11:10.700 --> 00:11:14.559 Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating 00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:18.120 aerial videos with local news and the surf reports. 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.059 Have an amazing day, my good friends. We'll see 00:11:22.059 --> 00:11:25.240 you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:25.879 in Encinitas.
