WEBVTT 00:00:01.679 --> 00:00:04.360 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, 00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:08.800 Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:14.019 and it's Friday, August 1st. You'll be interested 00:00:14.019 --> 00:00:19.839 to know. 191 years ago today, in 1834, the British 00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:23.399 Empire took a monumental step forward by enacting 00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:26.489 the Slavery Abolition Act. which liberated over 00:00:26.489 --> 00:00:30.329 800 ,000 enslaved individuals across its colonies. 00:00:31.030 --> 00:00:34.250 This landmark legislation was the culmination 00:00:34.250 --> 00:00:37.469 of tireless efforts by abolitionists, including 00:00:37.469 --> 00:00:40.369 the dedicated William Wilberforce, and marked 00:00:40.369 --> 00:00:43.090 a significant victory in the global fight for 00:00:43.090 --> 00:00:46.770 human rights. The Act's implementation on August 00:00:46.770 --> 00:00:51.500 1, 1834, set a powerful precedent inspiring other 00:00:51.500 --> 00:00:54.700 nations to confront and abolish the inhumane 00:00:54.700 --> 00:00:59.960 practice of slavery. So now you know. And now, 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:06.840 it's time for the Surf Report. Friday in Encinitas 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.840 and in North County. It's looking clean this 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:14.480 morning with waist -high sets rolling in. Weights 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.120 hold around 2 to 3 feet throughout the morning, 00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:20.859 providing great conditions. Expect the winds 00:01:20.859 --> 00:01:24.700 to remain onshore at just 1 mile per hour, keeping 00:01:24.700 --> 00:01:27.700 the surface nice and smooth as the day progresses. 00:01:28.700 --> 00:01:31.519 Conditions will shift to fair later with winds 00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:35.379 picking up slightly. Best time to ride is at 00:01:35.379 --> 00:01:39.560 6 a .m. with the 3 -foot outgoing mid -tide when 00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:43.640 the southwest swell is 1 .5 feet at 16 seconds 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:48.219 and the onshore wind is 1 mile per hour. The 00:01:48.219 --> 00:01:51.939 first low tide Friday will be 2 1⁄2 foot at 7 00:01:51.939 --> 00:01:56.379 .45 a .m., with a 4 1⁄2 foot high tide at 3 .30. 00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:01.299 The near -shore buoy at Beacons reads 69 degrees 00:02:01.299 --> 00:02:05.540 for the water temperature. Saturday through Monday 00:02:05.540 --> 00:02:08.840 presents a mix of surf conditions, starting with 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.680 clean 2 to 3 feet waves on Saturday morning, 00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:16.069 transitioning to fair by noon. Sunday maintains 00:02:16.069 --> 00:02:19.509 similar heights and clean conditions early, but 00:02:19.509 --> 00:02:23.330 just too choppy in the afternoon. Monday continues 00:02:23.330 --> 00:02:26.030 with fair conditions, though it becomes more 00:02:26.030 --> 00:02:30.310 choppy later. Overall, expect manageable waves 00:02:30.310 --> 00:02:32.550 with varying quality throughout the weekend. 00:02:34.229 --> 00:02:37.870 This morning, there's patchy fog, and it feels 00:02:37.870 --> 00:02:42.569 like 69 degrees with no wind. The sunset will 00:02:42.569 --> 00:02:45.780 take place at 7 .50. and it will rise again tomorrow 00:02:45.780 --> 00:02:49.879 at 6 .04. It looks like we're in for some patchy 00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.759 fog this morning, clearing up to mostly sunny 00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:56.539 skies by mid -morning with a high around 68 and 00:02:56.539 --> 00:03:01.719 a gentle breeze. Tonight, expect mostly cloudy 00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:05.639 skies with patchy fog later, a low of 65, and 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:11.080 light winds. Looking ahead in the weather. Expect 00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:14.379 mostly sunny skies this weekend with highs around 00:03:14.379 --> 00:03:18.740 70 degrees. Nights will be mostly cloudy with 00:03:18.740 --> 00:03:23.319 patchy fog and lows in the mid -60s. A similar 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:27.240 pattern continues into Monday and Tuesday. Bonjour, 00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.500 food enthusiasts!

In local 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:09.430 news. The Supreme Court has recently criticized 00:04:09.430 --> 00:04:12.909 California's development fees, but a new ruling 00:04:12.909 --> 00:04:16.410 has upheld them. A panel of appellate judges 00:04:16.410 --> 00:04:19.649 in California's 3rd Appellate District ruled 00:04:19.649 --> 00:04:22.410 that El Dorado County's traffic mitigation fee 00:04:22.410 --> 00:04:28.850 of $23 ,420 was justified. This case, stemming 00:04:28.850 --> 00:04:32.529 from a 2016 lawsuit by George Sheets, originally 00:04:32.529 --> 00:04:35.740 reached the U .S. Supreme Court. which emphasized 00:04:35.740 --> 00:04:38.800 that local governments must justify their fees. 00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.339 However, the recent ruling indicates that the 00:04:42.339 --> 00:04:46.139 county's methodology was valid. Attorney Brian 00:04:46.139 --> 00:04:48.959 Hodges noted that while they may appeal, the 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:51.740 Supreme Court's order leaves many local requirements 00:04:51.740 --> 00:05:01.699 in legal jeopardy. Now on to sports. What a wild 00:05:01.699 --> 00:05:05.519 trade deadline it was. We often wonder if anything 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:08.660 significant will happen, and then we are shocked 00:05:08.660 --> 00:05:11.519 by trades like Carlos Correa returning to the 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.160 Astros and the San Diego Padres acquiring Mason 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:19.399 Miller and J .P. Sears. Once the dust settled, 00:05:19.540 --> 00:05:23.100 we began speculating on the big winners. The 00:05:23.100 --> 00:05:26.339 Seattle Mariners looked strong with Eugenio Suarez, 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:28.959 while the Philadelphia Phillies bolstered their 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:32.769 bullpen with Joan Duran. The Mets addressed key 00:05:32.769 --> 00:05:36.209 needs by acquiring Cedric Mullins, and the Oakland 00:05:36.209 --> 00:05:40.350 Athletics made a splash with Liu DeVries. This 00:05:40.350 --> 00:05:42.829 year's deadline certainly kept us on our toes. 00:05:44.050 --> 00:05:49.089 In local sports. Tonight, the Padres open a three 00:05:49.089 --> 00:05:51.810 -game series against the St. Louis Cardinals 00:05:51.810 --> 00:05:55.949 at Petco Park. Nick Pivetta takes the mound with 00:05:55.949 --> 00:06:00.029 a record of 10 -3 and a stellar 2 .81 earned 00:06:00.029 --> 00:06:03.810 run average. He'll face Matthew Liberatore, who 00:06:03.810 --> 00:06:08.310 stands at 6 and 8 with a 4 .04. The aim time 00:06:08.310 --> 00:06:14.370 is 6 .40 under clear skies at 71 degrees. In 00:06:14.370 --> 00:06:18.009 top news, a new study from researchers at the 00:06:18.009 --> 00:06:21.589 University of California, San Diego offers promising 00:06:21.589 --> 00:06:25.550 insights into early detection of pancreatic ductal 00:06:25.550 --> 00:06:28.509 adenocarcinoma, the most common and aggressive 00:06:28.509 --> 00:06:32.720 form of pancreatic cancer. This research identifies 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.560 a link between inflammation, cellular stress, 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:40.920 and a protein known as CysteAT3. This protein 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:44.019 activates critical genes, including integrin 00:06:44.019 --> 00:06:48.180 beta -3, which promotes tumor formation. The 00:06:48.180 --> 00:06:51.319 study introduces a gene signature called StressUp, 00:06:51.459 --> 00:06:53.959 which could help in early screening and treatment 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.300 strategies. The hope is to develop therapies 00:06:57.300 --> 00:06:59.980 that prevent cancer progression across various 00:06:59.980 --> 00:07:05.420 types. In business news, Wall Street was stunned 00:07:05.420 --> 00:07:08.500 as MicroStrategy stock reached an unprecedented 00:07:08.500 --> 00:07:16.620 high of $410 on July 31st, closing at $401. This 00:07:16.620 --> 00:07:19.220 remarkable rally marks a staggering increase 00:07:19.220 --> 00:07:25.519 of over 3 ,700 % since its debut in 1998. The 00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.439 search follows the company's extraordinary second 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.160 quarter earnings report. which revealed earnings 00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:35.480 of $32 per share, exceeding expectations by an 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:40.839 impressive 35 ,000%. Additionally, revenues reached 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:45.620 just over $114 million, exceeding last year's 00:07:45.620 --> 00:07:49.720 figures. Investors are clearly rewarding the 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.420 company's bold focus on Bitcoin and digital assets. 00:07:54.100 --> 00:07:58.939 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 3 % for the 00:07:58.939 --> 00:08:05.209 week. to about $116 ,000. Ethereum is down 5 00:08:05.209 --> 00:08:11.449 % to just under $3 ,700. And XRP is down 9 % 00:08:11.449 --> 00:08:19.810 to $2 .95. Moving on to a more local vibe.

Scientists have traced 00:09:10.220 --> 00:09:13.259 the origins of the beloved potato to a fascinating 00:09:13.259 --> 00:09:17.360 plant romance millions of years ago. A recent 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.159 study published in the journal Cell reveals that 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:23.690 8 to 9 million years ago, a cross -breeding event 00:09:23.690 --> 00:09:26.549 between an ancient tomato relative and another 00:09:26.549 --> 00:09:31.009 plant led to the first potato. This genetic combination 00:09:31.009 --> 00:09:34.730 resulted in the thick, starchy tuber we enjoy 00:09:34.730 --> 00:09:38.330 today. With potatoes being the world's third 00:09:38.330 --> 00:09:41.549 most important staple crop, researchers aim to 00:09:41.549 --> 00:09:44.049 develop a new hybrid that can grow from seeds, 00:09:44.350 --> 00:09:47.649 helping to eliminate harmful mutations and avoid 00:09:47.649 --> 00:09:50.919 disease risks. reminiscent of the tragic Irish 00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:58.539 potato famine. Entertainment news. A lot of music 00:09:58.539 --> 00:10:01.500 fans are upset with Spotify, following recent 00:10:01.500 --> 00:10:04.700 controversies surrounding its CEO, Daniel Ek. 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:08.259 His decision to invest in an artificial intelligence 00:10:08.259 --> 00:10:11.740 -powered military technology firm has raised 00:10:11.740 --> 00:10:16.159 eyebrows. Ex -venture capital firm... Premamateria 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:19.399 has invested significantly in the German startup 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:22.419 Helsing, which develops software for military 00:10:22.419 --> 00:10:27.200 decision -making and manufactures drones. In 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:30.240 protest, the Australian rock band King Gizzard 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.039 and the Lizard Wizard has removed their music 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.179 from the platform. They announced on Instagram 00:10:36.179 --> 00:10:39.519 that they are releasing new demos out everywhere 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.220 except Spotify, urging fans to consider alternative 00:10:43.220 --> 00:10:48.860 platforms. Other bands like Deerhoof and Shuik 00:10:48.860 --> 00:10:53.720 Tzu have joined the protest. Well, alrighty folks, 00:10:54.019 --> 00:10:57.860 it's time for the quote of the day. And today, 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.600 our quote comes from the American civil rights 00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:04.899 activist and author, Audra Lorde. And she said, 00:11:05.139 --> 00:11:09.539 It is not our differences that divide us. It 00:11:09.539 --> 00:11:13.120 is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:17.210 those differences. And that's a wrap for this 00:11:17.210 --> 00:11:20.669 morning.
