00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,720
epic drama about organized crime, premiered to universal acclaim.

The Academy Award-winning film was directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starred Al Pacino

8
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,320
and Marlon Brando.

9
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,040
So now you know.

10
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,020
And now you know what time it is.

11
00:00:50,020 --> 00:00:52,200

Bonjour, food enthusiasts.

Any morning sends you.

35
00:02:45,380 --> 00:02:51,080
In local news, the Osterville Village Library in Varnstaville has introduced an innovative

36
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,760
way to borrow books and other media.

37
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:59,200
A library vending machine named AutoLend Library.

38
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:05,920
Similar to a Redbox kiosk, it allows users to select from 250 items, including a variety

39
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:10,720
of books and DVDs, through an interactive screen.

40
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:17,280
The machine, which will soon accept material requests, offers 24 to 7 access, catering

41
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:23,280
to those with varying schedules or preferences for technology interaction.

42
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,880
This service is available not only to Varnstaville residents, but also to anyone with a Clams

43
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:41,320
Library Consortium card, emphasizing the library's commitment to accessibility and literacy.

44
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,520
Now onto sports.

45
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,640
The Los Angeles Chargers have traded their longest tenured player, wide receiver Keenan

46
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,640
Allen, to the Chicago Bears for a fourth round pick.

47
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,440
This move is part of the Chargers' strategy to manage their salary cap.

48
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,560
He'd been over by $25 million earlier in the week.

49
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:09,080
Allen, who was approached to take a pay cut but refused, leased the Chargers after 11

50
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:14,800
seasons, during which he became the franchise's all-time leading wide receiver in Yartzen

51
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:15,800
catches.

52
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:21,520
His departure, along with other key players, signals a significant change for the Chargers'

53
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:27,240
offense and quarterback Justin Herbert, who loses his most reliable target.

54
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:33,400
Allen's achievements include six Pro Bowl selections and five seasons with over 1,000

55
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,480
yards and 100 receptions.

56
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:44,080
Last night in the NBA, the Celtics, playing at home, beat the Suns 127-112.

57
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,240
Apparently they lost the lights there for a few minutes, but they made it through.

58
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,360
The Seas don't play again until Sunday, when they're on the road to take on the Wizards.

59
00:04:54,360 --> 00:05:00,360
Tonight, in national hockey, the Bruins played another overtime game and beat the Canadians

60
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,400
2-1.

61
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:09,360
The Bees skate again on Saturday when they return home to play the Flyers.

62
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:15,920
In top news, a groundbreaking experiment on the International Space Station has yielded

63
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:22,240
miso paste, marking a new era for food fermentation in space.

64
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:28,240
This space-made miso, developed by Joshua Evans and his team, showcases a unique flavor

65
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:34,520
profile compared to its earth-fermented counterparts, potentially enhancing the culinary experience

66
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,140
for astronauts on lengthy missions.

67
00:05:38,140 --> 00:05:43,480
The experiment, which tested the impact of space's unique conditions on fermentation,

68
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:50,740
found significant differences in taste, aroma, and color in the space-fermented miso, suggesting

69
00:05:50,740 --> 00:05:54,140
a faster fermentation process.

70
00:05:54,140 --> 00:05:59,880
This venture into space fermentation not only paves the way for more varied astronaut diets,

71
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:06,020
but also opens discussions on the role of gravity in fermentation processes.

72
00:06:06,020 --> 00:06:13,080
In business news, Adobe's shares fell by up to 11% after the company issued its fiscal

73
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:19,000
first-quarter results, which, despite showing strong performance, included a lower-than-expected

74
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,840
revenue forecast for the upcoming quarter.

75
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:29,480
The software giant reported an 11% year-over-year revenue growth, but saw its net income decrease

76
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,440
significantly from the previous year.

77
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:39,760
They also canceled its $20 billion acquisition of Figma, paying a $1 billion termination

78
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:40,760
fee.

79
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:41,760
Bloof.

80
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:48,400
Amid these developments, they unveiled an early version of an AI assistant for its apps

81
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:54,520
and discussed collaboration with OpenAI on Sora, a tool for generating video from text

82
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,520
descriptions.

83
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:02,840
For the next quarter, Adobe predicts earnings that slightly miss analyst expectations, attributing

84
00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:08,920
future growth to new product enhancements and AI offerings.

85
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:22,760
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now $68,000, Ethereum is at $3,700, and Solana is $175.

86
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,080
Moving on to a more local vibe.

87
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:31,920
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

88

00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,920
and elevating mental well-being.

And now back to the show.

97
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,720
Let's talk tech.

98
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:21,080
Microsoft's CoPilot, now enhanced with GPT-4 Turbo, offers users significant upgrades without

99
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,320
any cost.

100
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:30,360
This version surpasses GPT-4 with a more recent knowledge base updated to April 2023 and the

101
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:36,280
ability to process about 300 pages of text in a single prompt due to a larger context

102
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:43,680
window and improvements in responsiveness, addressing previous issues of laziness.

103
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:48,720
These enhancements are part of Microsoft's strategy to keep the free tier appealing,

104
00:08:48,720 --> 00:09:00,360
while rumors suggest a new GPT-4.5 Turbo model might be introduced for the paid tier.

105
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:07,160
And in entertainment news, The Fall Guy, directed by David Leitch and starring Ryan Gosling

106
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:12,840
and Emily Blunt, has broken the Guinness World Record for car-rolling previously held by

107
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,840
Casino Royale.

108
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:21,280
In homage to stunt performers, the film features a stunt where the car completes 8 and a half

109
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,720
canon roles, surpassing James Bond's seven.

110
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:30,520
The stunt was performed by Logan Holliday, who also appears in the film, highlighting

111
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:35,720
the often overlooked contributions of stunt performers in Hollywood.

112
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,480
I can't wait for that one to come out.

113
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,660
Well alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

114
00:09:43,660 --> 00:09:48,160
And today, in honor of the weekend, let's check out a great scene from one of our favorite

115
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,440
movies, Office Space.

116
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:56,120
Hello Peter, what's happening?

117
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,520
I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in tomorrow.

118
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:06,280
So if you could be here around nine, that would be great.

119
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,280
Okay?

120
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:13,040
Oh, oh, and I almost forgot.

121
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:18,960
I'm also gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Sunday too, okay?

122
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:25,200
We lost some people this week and we need to sort of play catch-up.

123
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,200
Thanks.

124
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,000
Don't worry, we aren't gonna need you to come in.

125
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,840
Have a great weekend everyone.

126
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,840
We'll see you soon.

127
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:43,400
Okay?
