00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,000 Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the weather report, then we'll jump into 4 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:23,320 some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science and entertainment. 5 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:31,120 But first, you'll be interested to know 224 years ago, today in 1800. 6 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:37,120 The Library of Congress was officially founded as U.S. President John Adams approved the 7 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:45,100 $5,000 appropriated to acquire quote, such books as may be necessary for the use of Congress. 8 00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:49,080 It eventually became the largest library in the world. 9 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:50,800 So now you know. 10 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,920 Now you know what time it is. 11

00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,180 Bonjour, food enthusiasts! 33 00:02:42,180 --> 00:02:47,240 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 34 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:54,280

00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:24,880 In local news, three Massachusetts high schools have been recognized among the top 25% in 42 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:30,360 the nation, according to U.S. News and World Report's latest rankings. 43 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:37,280 Boston Latin ranked 27th, Pioneer Valley, Chinese Immersion School ranked 100th, and 44 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,080 Lexington High School 192nd. 45 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,920 These rankings are based on a comprehensive evaluation of six factors including college 46 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:51,080 readiness, state assessment scores, and graduation rates. 47 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:56,160 For example, Boston Latin School boasts a near-perfect score with impressive percentages 48 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:07,720 in AP exam participation and proficiency in key subjects like math and reading. 49 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,840 Now on to sports. 50 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:15,840 Blaming referees for game outcomes is often seen as a poor excuse for performance issues, 51 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:22,200 particularly highlighted by recent NBA games involving the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 52 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,200 76ers. 53 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,080 And the excuses are piling up. 54 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:32,560 The Lakers, facing off against the Denver Nuggets, cited refereeing decisions as significant 55 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:38,360 in their narrow loss, despite multiple opportunities to secure the game. 56 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,440 Such claims by teams often reflect frustration but might undermine their focus and morale 57 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,400 in ongoing competitions. 58 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,440 This perspective was echoed by Lakers head coach Darvin Hamm, emphasizing readiness to 59 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,600 play regardless of refereeing. 60 00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:01,120 In local sports, the Red Sox on the road lost to the Guardians 4-1. 61 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:08,080 Tonight, the Sox remain on the road in Cleveland for game two of the three game series, and 62 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,520 the Celtics are back at home for game two to take on the Heat. 63 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,960 The Bruins are also on tonight, and you're going to have to switch back and forth to 64 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,280 catch game three in Toronto. 65 00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:30,200 And top news, X, formerly known as Twitter, is set to launch a TV app for video content. 66 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:36,000 Announced by CEO Linda Iaccarino, the app aims to deliver real-time, engaging content 67 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,560 on smart TVs, featuring an interface similar to YouTube's. 68 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:47,120 It will include a trending video algorithm to curate popular content and AI-powered topics 69 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,400 for video organization. 70 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,960 Additionally, the app will support cross-device viewing, allowing seamless transitions from 71 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,040 smartphones to TVs. 72 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,640 While no specific release date was provided, Iaccarino indicated that the app would be 73 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,120 available soon on most smart TVs. 74 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:12,640 This move is part of a broader strategy to transform the platform into a free-speech, 75 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,200 video-first media outlet. 76 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:22,360 And business news, Oracle is relocating its headquarters to Nashville, Tennessee, a strategic 77 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:28,040 move aimed at enhancing its integration with the health care industry. 78 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:33,560 Announced by CEO Larry Ellison during a live-streamed event, the decision aligns with the company's 79 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:39,680 significant investment in health care, including the nearly $30 billion acquisition of Cerner 80 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,080 in 2021. 81 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:49,160 Nashville, a burgeoning hub for health care, offers Oracle Proximity the key industry players. 82 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:54,140 This relocation marks another significant shift for Oracle, which moved its headquarters 83 00:06:54,140 --> 00:07:01,040 from California to Austin in 2020 as part of a strategy to adopt a more flexible workforce 84 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,040 approach. 85 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:07,520 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $67,000. 86 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:12,040 Ethereum is just over $3,200. 87 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:17,320 And Solana is $158. 88 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:24,240 Moving on to a more local vibe, in our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working 89 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:30,640

98 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,120 Let's talk science. 99 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:13,000 Scientists have developed a new model to explain the mysterious heart-shaped feature on Pluto 100 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,440 known as Tombow Regio. 101 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:21,920 This model suggests that an impact from a celestial object, possibly up to 400 miles 102 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:28,960 in diameter, hit Pluto's icy surface, creating the Sputnik Planitia basin. 103 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:34,240 The impact involving a mixture of ice and rock left a permanent indentation due to Pluto's 104 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:39,400 extremely cold temperatures, which prevent the ice from melting. 105 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:45,480 This research, leveraging advanced simulation tools and data from the 2015 New Horizons 106 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:51,520 mission, offers significant insights into Pluto's geology and its dynamic processes 107 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,520 beneath the surface. 108 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:58,560 And in entertainment news. 109 00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:04,040 Quentin Tarantino's much anticipated 10th film, The Movie Critic, was poised to be a 110 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:09,400 grand farewell, blending elements from his cinematic universe. 111 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:15,560 This final project was envisioned as a Tarantino goodbye metaverse, potentially including characters 112 00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:18,360 and stars from his previous films. 113 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:24,960 At one point, the film even flirted with being a spin-off of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, 114 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,680 featuring Brad Pitt's character, Cliff Booth. 115 00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:34,240 However, despite various rewrites and casting rumors, including potential involvement from 116 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,960 Tom Cruise and Olivia Wilde, the project remains uncertain. 117 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:46,360 Tarantino's creative exploration may lead The Movie Critic to join his list of unrealized 118 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:52,360 projects, leaving fans to wonder what could have been in this ultimate Tarantino crossover. 119 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:58,400 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 120 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,600 And today, our quote comes from Elon Musk. 121 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,640 And the CEO of Twitter said, 122 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:10,360 Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy. 123 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:16,680 And Twitter is the digital town square, where matters vital to the future of humanity are 124 00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:19,160 debated. 125 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,840 And that's a wrap for this morning. 126 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:28,080 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 127 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,600 with local news and the weather reports. 128 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,600 Had an amazing day, my good friends. 129 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:53,600 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Boston.
