1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,440 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Boston. 2 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:13,200 I'm your host Melissa and it's Tuesday, March 26th. 3 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,440 Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the weather report, then we'll jump into 4 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:24,600 some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, tech and entertainment. 5 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:33,200 At first, you'll be interested to know, 45 years ago, today, in 1979, the Israel-Egypt 6 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,040 peace treaty was signed. 7 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:41,840 Beginning at the Camp David Accords in 1978, under President Carter, Egyptian President 8 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:47,800 Sadat, and Israeli Prime Minister Begin, resulted in the first peace treaty between Israel and 9 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,600 Egypt. 10 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:55,280 Despite political and negotiation challenges, this landmark agreement marked a high point 11 00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:01,840 in the Arab-Israeli peace process during Carter's presidency, with future negotiations encountering 12 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,720 significant obstacles. 13 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,520 So now you know. 14 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,760 And now you know what time it is. 15 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,440 It's time for the weather report. 16 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,000 And now you know what time it is. 17 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,960 It's time for the weather report. 18 00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:21,160 In the Boston area. 19 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:27,960 This morning it's cloudy and feels like 28 degrees, with 15 mile per hour wind. 20 00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:34,600 The sun's side will take place at 7.03 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.34. 21 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:40,480 It looks like we're in for areas of drizzle with a chance of showers and patchy fog afternoon. 22 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:48,720 Otherwise, cloudy with a high near 37 and wind of 14 to 17 mile per hour. 23 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,760 The chance of precipitation is 40 percent, with new rain amounts of less than a tenth 24 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,400 of an inch. 25 00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:00,840 Tonight, areas of drizzle with a chance of showers and patchy fog. 26 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:08,260 Otherwise, cloudy with a low around 37 and wind of 8 to 11 mile per hour. 27 00:02:08,260 --> 00:02:14,180 For all you beach runners out there, the first low tide Tuesday will be just after 7 a.m. 28 00:02:14,180 --> 00:02:16,280 with a high tide at 1. 29 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:23,360 The nearshore buoy at Cape Cod Bay reads 40 degrees for the water temperature. 30 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,640 Looking ahead in the weather. 31 00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:30,680 Wednesday morning may start with showers and fog before turning rainier, reaching a high 32 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,600 of 57 degrees. 33 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:39,080 Nighttime sees rain likely after 2 a.m. with lows around 47. 34 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:45,840 Thursday will be rainy throughout, hitting a high of 53 and lows dropping to 41 at night. 35 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:52,120 Friday's forecast includes a 50 percent chance of rain and highs near 49, becoming partly 36 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:57,480 cloudy and breezy at night, with lows around 35. 37 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:06,080 Saturday brightens up to mostly sunny skies and a breezy high of 52 degrees. 38 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,380 Bonjour food enthusiasts! 39 00:03:08,380 --> 00:03:14,040 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 40 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:20,600 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven 41 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,400 for culinary delights. 42 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,040 Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes. 43 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:34,400 You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee. 44 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,880 They are open every day from 8 to 5. 45 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,360 So stop on by and don't forget to tell them. 46 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,840 Any morning sends you. 47 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:51,040 In local news, a dolphin stranded on Cape Cod was successfully released after being 48 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:57,880 treated at the Dolphin Rescue Center, a new short-term rehabilitation facility in Orleans, 49 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,420 Massachusetts. 50 00:03:59,420 --> 00:04:04,440 The International Fund for Animal Welfare reported that this dolphin was the center's 51 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:10,160 first patient, requiring less than 24 hours of care before its release at Herring Cove 52 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,240 in Provincetown. 53 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,800 The facility addresses a significant need, given the area sees an average of 70 live 54 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,640 dolphin strandings annually. 55 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:26,440 The dolphin, suffering from shock, seawater aspiration and trauma, received intensive 56 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:37,440 care and also received a temporary satellite tag for monitoring. 57 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,680 Now on to sports. 58 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,240 The Connecticut men's basketball team advanced to the Sweet 16, dominating Northwestern with 59 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,840 a 75-58 win. 60 00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:55,040 Their quest for back-to-back national titles continues as they face San Diego State next. 61 00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:03,120 Eukon's impressive streak includes 29 non-conference wins by double digits, showcasing their dominance. 62 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:10,080 Despite a poor three-point shooting performance, they dominated inside, with key players Tristan 63 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:15,320 Newton, Cam Spencer, and Donovan Klingon leading the scoring. 64 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:21,160 Klingon notably achieved a 14-14 double-double with eight blocks. 65 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:26,880 Eukon's comprehensive strategy has them poised for potential championship success, 66 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:34,840 reminiscent of Florida's back-to-back titles in 2006 and 2007. 67 00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:37,480 Last night in local sports. 68 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:43,140 The Celtics on the road lost to the Hawks, 120 to 118. 69 00:05:43,140 --> 00:05:44,700 And tonight. 70 00:05:44,700 --> 00:05:51,320 The Bruins are on the road in Florida to skate with the Panthers. 71 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:58,640 And top news, targeting belly fat specifically for weight loss is largely a myth. 72 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:04,040 Our bodies decide where to store and lose fat based on factors beyond our control, such 73 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,880 as genetics and biological sex. 74 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:13,380 Although visceral fat, which accumulates around the abdomen, poses health risks, the strategies 75 00:06:13,380 --> 00:06:19,040 to reduce it aren't localized, but rather impact the whole body. 76 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,920 Weight loss through a calorie deficit and regular exercise, including high-intensity 77 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:29,800 interval training, can reduce overall body fat, including abdominal fat. 78 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:36,800 However, no diet or exercise plan can promise to target belly fat exclusively. 79 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:42,580 The variability in body fat distribution is natural and largely predetermined, making 80 00:06:42,580 --> 00:06:47,400 generalized weight loss the most effective approach. 81 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,600 And business news. 82 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:55,400 The U.S. Treasury market, the world's largest financial market, is expanding rapidly, raising 83 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,960 concerns among investors about potential instability. 84 00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:05,160 With annual U.S. Treasury issuance nearly doubling since the pandemic, the market grew 85 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,560 to $27 trillion by 2023. 86 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:14,640 This growth is driven by the government's need to finance deficits through bond issuance, 87 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,480 amidst expectations of continued government spending increases. 88 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:24,480 The market's expansion and regulatory changes could pose challenges, including potential 89 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:29,420 cash shortages similar to those in 2019 and 2020. 90 00:07:29,420 --> 00:07:35,000 The shift towards more short-term debt and the changing landscape of Treasury buyers, 91 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:41,400 including reduced bank purchases due to regulatory constraints, are notable trends. 92 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:47,380 Despite these challenges, demand for Treasuries remains strong, partly due to limited alternatives 93 00:07:47,380 --> 00:07:49,600 in the bond market. 94 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:54,960 The role of foreign investors, especially from Japan, remains significant, though changing 95 00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:00,840 global financial conditions could affect their participation. 96 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:06,120 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now over $70,000. 97 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,600 Ethereum is at $3,600. 98 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:15,440 And Solana is nearing $200. 99 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,760 Moving on to a more local vibe. 100 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:24,560 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 101 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,840 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 102 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,160 Check out Club Pilates with several locations in the Boston area. 103 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:39,280 Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension, 104 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,040 and elevating mental well-being. 105 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,800 Scientific research affirms its benefits. 106 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,080 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class. 107 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:56,480 With locations in Canton, Wellesley, Hingham, Brookline, and Framingham, just be sure to 108 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,520 tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 109 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,720 And now back to the show. 110 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,680 Let's talk tech. 111 00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:12,800 Nissan has updated its electrification strategy, aiming to electrify 16 out of 30 vehicles 112 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:19,280 by 2026, signaling a shift towards more sustainable transportation. 113 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:24,840 While specifics on the all-electric versus hybrid mix remain unclear, the U.S. market 114 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:31,040 can expect seven new models, including e-power and plug-in hybrids. 115 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:36,480 This move marks a progression from Nissan's 2021 promise, though comparisons are challenging 116 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,880 without detailed vehicle classifications. 117 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:45,880 Additionally, Nissan anticipates 60 percent of its global portfolio to be electrified 118 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:51,600 by 2030, increasing the total to 34 vehicles. 119 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:57,480 Amidst these plans, Nissan seems to be recalibrating its ambitions regarding all-solid state battery 120 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:06,200 technology, now targeting a broader range of battery innovations by 2028. 121 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:12,720 And in entertainment news, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is rebooting with a TV series 122 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:18,720 at Amazon and GM Studios as Making Progress, which showrunner Vena said expressing her 123 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:24,480 enthusiasm for adapting Stieg Larsson's iconic novels for television. 124 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:30,040 The series aims to introduce a new incarnation of Lisbeth Salander, showcasing a woman who 125 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,640 defies societal norms. 126 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:38,840 While details remain sparse, this standalone story promises to bring a fresh perspective 127 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:45,760 to the celebrated Millennium Trilogy, which has already inspired multiple film adaptations. 128 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:52,320 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 129 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:59,400 And today, our quote comes from Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, said, 130 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:04,560 It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on Earth, and if we can teach 131 00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:10,200 our children to honor nature's gifts, the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be 132 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,120 here forever. 133 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,480 And that's a wrap for this morning. 134 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,680 Remember to stay tuned tomorrow for more news and updates. 135 00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:33,960 Have an amazing day, my good friends.
