1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,880 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Boston. 2 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,720 I'm your host Melissa, and it's Wednesday, August 7th. 3 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,760 You'll be interested to know. 4 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:22,360 Forty-six years ago, today, in 1978, President Jimmy Carter declared a federal health emergency 5 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:29,360 in Love Canal, a neighborhood in Niagara Falls, New York, following the leakage of toxic chemicals 6 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,000 buried under the community. 7 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,480 This catastrophic event was recognized as the worst environmental disaster involving 8 00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:42,080 chemical wastes in the history of the United States. 9 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,080 So now you know. 10 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,260 And now, it's time for the weather report. 11 00:00:48,260 --> 00:00:53,440 It looks like we are in for some morning fog before 7 a.m., followed by a chance of rain 12 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,480 showers. 13 00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:01,920 With sunny skies later, with a high near 92 degrees and a west wind at 5 to 9 miles per 14 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:02,920 hour. 15 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,760 Tonight, there is a 30 percent chance of precipitation. 16 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:13,000 For all you beach runners out there, the first low tide Wednesday will be at 8, with a high 17 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,680 tide at 845. 18 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:23,760 The nearshore buoy at Cape Cod Bay reads 63 degrees for the water temperature. 19 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,360 Looking ahead in the weather. 20 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:31,240 Starting Thursday afternoon, expect a slight chance of rain showers, with highs in the 21 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,240 mid-70s. 22 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:39,160 Nights will be mostly cloudy, with rain likely, and lows around the mid-60s. 23 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:44,680 This pattern continues through Saturday, with showers and thunderstorms likely each day, 24 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,080 and highs reaching the low 80s. 25 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:53,400 Sunday and Monday will be sunny, with highs in the low 80s, and mostly clear nights in 26 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,400 the mid-60s. 27 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,160 Bonjour, food enthusiasts! 28 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:03,760 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 29 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:10,240 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven 30 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,000 for culinary delights. 31 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,600 Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict, or their gluten-free crepes. 32 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,440 You can grab a panini for lunch, or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee. 33 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,360 They are open every day from 8 to 5. 34 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,800 So stop on by, and don't forget to tell them. 35 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,240 Sunny mornings send you. 36 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:40,880 In local news, Matt Damon hopes to see Robin Williams honored with a goodwill-hunting statue 37 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,920 in Boston's public garden. 38 00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaking with journalist Jake Hamilton, Damon, age 53, shared that an artist proposed a bronze 39 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:58,320 statue of the late Williams, who passed away in August 2014 at 63 years old. 40 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:04,240 Damon believes it would be the most beautiful installation, and a fitting tribute. 41 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,280 The statue would be placed next to the bench where they filmed a memorable scene from the 42 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,320 1997 movie. 43 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:22,280 Damon also fondly recalled working with Williams, noting his impressive off-book performance. 44 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,960 Now on to sports. 45 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,480 The New England Patriots are at the heart of speculation regarding a potential trade 46 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,760 for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Iyuk. 47 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,400 For the entire off-season, the Patriots have shown significant interest in acquiring a 48 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,440 top receiver. 49 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:47,760 Linebacker Gerard Mayo commented on the rumors, neither confirming nor denying the trade's 50 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,760 progress. 51 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:54,480 The Patriots are highly motivated, especially after missing out on Calvin Ridley. 52 00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:03,080 With Iyuk catching 75, passes for 1,342 yards, and seven touchdowns last season, the Patriots 53 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:09,560 hope to secure him, potentially making him one of the highest paid receivers in the league. 54 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:17,080 In local sports, the Red Sox on the road beat the Royals 7-2. 55 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:23,480 And tonight, they're back at it for the final game of the series. 56 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:30,020 In top news, dog owners are facing new challenges due to updated travel rules from the Centers 57 00:04:30,020 --> 00:04:33,480 for Disease Control and Prevention. 58 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:39,080 As of August 1, new regulations have taken effect to prevent the reintroduction of rabies 59 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,720 into the United States. 60 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:47,880 Dogs must be over six months old, microchipped, and have proper documentation. 61 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,480 Travelers from high-risk countries must follow stricter protocols, including entering through 62 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:58,040 designated animal care facilities at six major airports. 63 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:04,180 Environmental precautions, such as a 28-day quarantine or a blood test, may apply. 64 00:05:04,180 --> 00:05:09,320 These rules align with the World Organization for Animal Health Standards, aiming to reduce 65 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:14,600 fraudulent documentation and control rabies. 66 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:22,920 In business news, Airbnb forecasts lower third-quarter revenue due to economic worries, prompting 67 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,960 last-minute bookings. 68 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,320 Income shares fell by 15 percent. 69 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,560 Domestic travel in the United States has declined since the start of the year, as Americans 70 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,760 grow cautious about spending. 71 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:45,520 Airbnb reported a profit of 86 cents per share, missing the estimate of 92 cents. 72 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:55,660 Expected third-quarter revenue is between $3,670,000,000 and $3,730,000,000 below the 73 00:05:55,660 --> 00:05:57,360 estimate. 74 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:04,680 The average daily rate grew 2 percent to $169.53. 75 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:10,480 Second-quarter revenue was $2,750,000,000. 76 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:16,760 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $56,800. 77 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,480 Ethereum is just under $2,500. 78 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,840 And Solana is $144. 79 00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:28,080 Moving on to a more local vibe. 80 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:34,800 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 81 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,880 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 82 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,320 Check out Club Pilates with

elevating mental well-being. 85 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,840 Scientific research affirms its benefits. 86 00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:00,080 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class. 87

00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,840 And now back to the show. 90 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,520 Let's talk tech. 91 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:21,960 Apple's upcoming MaxOS Sequoia will bring a significant change for users of screenshot 92 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,080 and screen recording apps. 93 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,600 Starting this fall, these apps will require weekly permission prompts, as well as prompts 94 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,820 after each reboot. 95 00:07:31,820 --> 00:07:38,160 This means users will need to explicitly allow access to their screens and audio more frequently. 96 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:44,400 While some initially thought this was a bug, Apple has confirmed it is a deliberate feature. 97 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:50,840 This update will impact various third-party apps, including CleanShot X, Discord, Zoom, 98 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,960 and Slack. 99 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,960 Developers can adopt special API to avoid these prompts, though it is not compatible 100 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,960 with most current apps. 101 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:09,600 And in entertainment news, Zac Efron experienced a minor swimming incident while vacationing 102 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,440 with friends in Ibiza, Spain, leading to his hospitalization. 103 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:21,280 The actor, aged 36, ingested water into his lungs after hitting the bottom of a pool. 104 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,000 Villa security assisted in pulling him out of the water. 105 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:31,040 Efron, who was momentarily dazed, was taken to the hospital as a precaution, where x-rays 106 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,880 confirmed his lungs were clear. 107 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,400 He waited at the hospital until paparazzi left. 108 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,960 Efron assured fans he is happy and healthy. 109 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:47,200 His latest film, A Family Affair, was released on Netflix in June. 110 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:53,000 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 111 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,760 And today, our quote comes from the American politician and the 39th President of the United 112 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,680 States, Jimmy Carter. 113 00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:03,880 And he said, 114 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,360 America did not invent human rights. 115 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:12,680 In a very real sense, human rights invented America. 116 00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:15,360 And that's a wrap for this morning. 117 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:21,580 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 118 00:09:21,580 --> 00:09:24,160 with local news and the weather reports. 119 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,160 Have an amazing day, my good friends. 120 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:35,840 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Boston.
