00:00:15,180 --> 00:00:23,100
Forty-five years ago, today, in 1979, Mother Teresa, founder of a Roman Catholic order

5
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:29,180
of women dedicated to the poor, and particularly to the destitute of India, was awarded the

6
00:00:29,180 --> 00:00:32,140
Nobel Prize for Peace.

7
00:00:32,140 --> 00:00:37,960
Her outstanding humanitarian work highlighted the profound impact of selfless service and

8
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,320
brought global attention to the plight of the impoverished.

9
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,360
So now you know.

10
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,520
And now, it's time for the weather report.

This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas.

25
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:08,360
Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven

26
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,120
for culinary delights.

So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.

31
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:32,360
Sunny mornings send you.

32
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:39,440
In local news, a retired Massachusetts state trooper, Tom McNulty, is urgently seeking

33
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,960
a kidney donor after being diagnosed with kidney failure.

34
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:49,240
Tom and his wife, Kathleen, were looking forward to retirement when during a routine physical

35
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:54,920
in 2020, doctors discovered his elevated creatinine levels.

36
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:59,800
Now their home has turned into a dialysis center as they search for a living donor,

37
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,120
which offers better outcomes than deceased donors.

38
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,440
Despite their efforts, including outreach through social media and billboards, they

39
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,560
have not yet found a viable match.

40
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,960
Tom emphasizes you can save a life as they remain hopeful for a positive outcome.

41
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:26,560
Everyone, please spread the word.

42
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,320
Now on to sports.

43
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:35,080
On Thursday night football, the New Orleans Saints, holding a record of 2-4, host the

44
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:41,280
Denver Broncos, who stand at 3-3 in a game rich with nostalgia.

45
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,400
Sean Payton will make his return to the Superdome, this time as Denver's coach, facing his

46
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,440
former team now led by rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler.

47
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:56,840
The Saints defense, ranked last in the league, faces a significant challenge from Bo Nix

48
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,000
and the Broncos' dynamic offense.

49
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,280
Oddsmakers favor Denver by 3 points, with an over-under set at 46.

50
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,240
Meanwhile in baseball, the Yankees will face off against the Guardians tonight at Progressive

51
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:17,720

55
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,160
at Citi Field.

56
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:44,240
Shohei Otani's 3-run homer in the 8th sealed the win, while Michael Koepke delivered a

57
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:50,320
stellar performance, securing the victory with 6 strikeouts over 9 innings.

58
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,760
The Dodgers now lead the series 2-1, placing the Mets in a challenging position.

59
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:01,440
Tonight, the teams return to Citi Field for Game 4, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto taking the

60
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,400
mound against Jose Quintana.

61

7.

66
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:27,720
Virginia Tech aims to continue its dominance in this series, leading 20-11.

67
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:33,400
Basial Tutin, with 9 rushing touchdowns, will test the Eagles' formidable defense, which

68
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:38,280
allows only 104 rushing yards per game.

69
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:44,840
Boston College's Donovan Izayriyaku, boasting 9 sacks, will play a crucial role.

70
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:51,560
Meanwhile, the Bruins will not take to the ice again until Saturday in Utah.

71
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:57,400
Last night, they secured a 5-3 victory over the Avalanche at Ball Arena.

72
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:03,280
Stakid Pasternak and Hampus Lindholm each found the net within 13 seconds, propelling

73
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:06,440
the Bruins past Colorado.

74
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:12,160
Charlie Coyle and Johnny Beecher contributed essential goals, while Mikko Rantinen and

75
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,940
Kael Macker kept the Avalanche competitive.

76
00:06:15,940 --> 00:06:24,200
The unbeaten Bruins now stand at 3-2, whereas Colorado falls to 0-4.

77
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:30,600
In top news, the side effects of ozempic, an injectable drug primarily used for weight

78
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,040
loss, often garner attention.

79
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:40,100
Commonly reported effects include gastrointestinal upset, nausea, and stomach pain, which typically

80
00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:42,280
resolve within days.

81
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:48,480
However, some users may experience more serious issues, like muscle loss, which can impact

82
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,160
metabolic health.

83
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,720
Changes in menstrual cycles may also occur, likely due to weight loss rather than the

84
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,720
drug itself.

85
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:04,120
Less common but severe side effects include pancreatitis and allergic reactions.

86
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,760
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid this medication.

87
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:15,880
Consulting a doctor about potential interactions and managing side effects is crucial.

88
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:22,300
In business news, Bitcoin has experienced significant volatility this week, recently

89
00:07:22,300 --> 00:07:28,800
rebounding above $60,000 per Bitcoin after a sharp decline.

90
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,680
Analysts at JP Morgan predict a debasement trade could drive further price increases

91
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,880
leading into the U.S. election.

92
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:42,320
Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of Microstrategy, revealed his company's

93
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:49,520
ambitious plan to evolve into a Bitcoin investment bank, aiming to acquire over $100 billion

94
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,520
in Bitcoin.

95
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,440
Saylor believes Bitcoin is the most valuable asset in the world and predicts its price

96
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,600
could reach $13 million by 2045.

97
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:12,280
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $67,100, Ethereum is just over $2,600, and Solon is

98
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,080
just over $155.

99
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,400
Moving on to a more local vibe.

100
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:26,120
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

109
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,160
And now back to the show.

110
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,080
Let's talk science.

111
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:12,080
In a groundbreaking study, scientists have discovered that mice may possess ultrasonic

112
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:18,320
powers, using sound to manipulate nanoparticles and enhance their sense of smell.

113
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,640
Traditionally, these rodents were thought to use ultrasonic vocalizations solely for

114
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:24,640
courtship.

115
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:31,240
However, bioacoustics experts observed that mice sniff after producing these sounds,

116
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,560
suggesting a more complex function.

117
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:39,520
This phenomenon, described as creating new pathways of information, could reshape our

118
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:45,160
understanding of animal communication and provide insights into manipulating nanoparticles

119
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,240
with sound.

120
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:53,400
As Jessica Jo from Harvard University notes, mice play a crucial role in biological research,

121
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,200
potentially leading to significant medical advancements.

122
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:02,480
And in entertainment news.

123
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:08,080
BetaFilm has unveiled a thrilling trailer for Rise of the Raven, an epic 10-part drama

124
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:13,680
series centered on the pivotal 15th century battle of Belgrade.

125
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:19,480
The show will have its world premiere at Nipcom in Cannes on October 22nd.

126
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,760
Based on Ben Moore's novels, it chronicles the heroic Gionno Sognati, who halted the

127
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,320
Ottoman advance in 1456.

128
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:35,240
Produced by veteran Robert Lantos, the series boasts an impressive budget, aiming for authenticity

129
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,520
by honoring the era's languages.

130
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:44,560
With stunning period detail, Rise of the Raven promises an engaging portrayal of history,

131
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:46,160
treachery and love.

132
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:51,820
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

133
00:10:51,820 --> 00:10:59,040
And today, our quote comes from the Albanian humanitarian and missionary, Mother Teresa.

134
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,040
And she said,

135
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:07,000
I have found the paradox that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt,

136
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,200
only more love.

137
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,760
And that's a wrap for this morning.

138
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:18,560
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos

140
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,160
Have an amazing weekend, my good friends.

141
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:29,280
We'll see you Monday with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Boston.
