00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:14,800 You'll be interested to know. 4 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:20,260 21 years ago, today, in 2003. 5 00:00:20,260 --> 00:00:26,200 The Concorde, a supersonic passenger aircraft, concluded its final journey with British Airways, 6 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,480 marking the end of an iconic era in aviation. 7 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,400 This historic event followed Air France's cessation of supersonic flights earlier in 8 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:40,920 the year, highlighting the end of commercial supersonic travel. 9 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,920 So now you know. 10 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,120 And now, it's time for the weather report. 11 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:54,180 This morning it's sunny and feels like 38 degrees with 13 mph wind. 12 00:00:54,180 --> 00:01:01,080 The sunset will take place at 547 and it will rise again tomorrow at 709. 13 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:07,520 It looks like we're in for a sunny day with a high near 60 and a gentle northwest breeze. 14 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:15,040 Tonight, expect partly cloudy skies with a low around 46 and light winds. 15 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:21,040 For all you beach runners out there, the first low tide Thursday will be at 1130 with a high 16 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,700 tide at 545. 17 00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:31,600 The nearshore gooey at Cape Cod Bay reads 59 degrees for the water temperature. 18 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:37,820 Looking ahead in the weather, expect mostly sunny skies Saturday and Sunday with highs 19 00:01:37,820 --> 00:01:42,560 near 65 and 55 respectively. 20 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,960 Nights will be clear, cooling to the low 40s and mid 30s. 21 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:54,000 Tuesday enjoy mostly sunny weather again with a high near 63. 22 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,280 Bonjour food enthusiasts. 23 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:01,240 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 24 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:08,360 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven 25 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,120 for culinary delights. 26 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,720 Indulge in their amazing eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes. 27 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,480 You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee. 28 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,480 They are open every day from 8 to 5. 29 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,920 So stop on by and don't forget to tell them. 30 00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:32,360 Sunny mornings send you. 31 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:39,100 In local news, a drone accident injured two people during the Boston Celtics watch party 32 00:02:39,100 --> 00:02:41,960 at City Hall Plaza. 33 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,960 A man suffered severe bleeding from his right hand while a woman complained of pain in her 34 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:52,280 head, neck and left shoulder requiring hospitalization. 35 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:57,920 The drone operator, an employee of CNN, was photographing the event when he flew the drone 36 00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:05,520 too close to two trees, causing it to crash into a light pole and fall onto the attendees. 37 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:11,040 Police retrieved the damaged drone and returned it to the CNN vice president of tech operations 38 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:17,120 on site. 39 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,840 Now on to sports. 40 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:25,480 The Los Angeles Dodgers face the New York Yankees tomorrow night in Game 1 of the World 41 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,600 Series. 42 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:33,080 Dodgers manager Dave Roberts stated that Shohei Otani will not pitch in the final games, though 43 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:39,040 he left a slight possibility for Otani to pitch in some special circumstance. 44 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:46,480 Otani has excelled as a designated hitter this season with 54 homers and 130 runs batted 45 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:52,320 in, but his pitching remains uncertain for the 2024 World Series. 46 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:58,480 On Thursday night football, the Los Angeles Rams at 2 and 4 host the Minnesota Vikings, 47 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,880 who are 5 and 1 at SoFi Stadium. 48 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:08,480 Rams head coach Sean McVeigh faces his former assistant, Kevin O'Connell, now leading 49 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,160 the Vikings with Sam Darnold at quarterback. 50 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:18,160 Cooper Cup returns from injury, aiming to exploit Minnesota's poorest past defense. 51 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:23,800 With the Rams offense struggling, oddsmakers favor the Vikings with an over-under set at 52 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,760 49. 53 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,360 In local sports. 54 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:33,440 Tonight, the Celtics face the Washington Wizards at Capital One Arena. 55 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:39,120 Mason Tatum is on fire, averaging 37 points per game. 56 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,880 With Chris Stubbs porzing us out, Boston is still favored by 13.5 points. 57 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:54,120 Meanwhile, the Bruins, sitting at 3-3-1, take on the Dallas Stars, who are 5 and 2 at TD 58 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,400 Garden. 59 00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:02,560 Keep an eye on David Pastrnak, who has already racked up four goals and two assists. 60 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,440 And top news. 61 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:10,040 A world without passwords may soon be a reality, thanks to passkeys. 62 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:19,520 Apple has identified that 249 of My Passwords require attention due to reuse and data breaches. 63 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:26,180 The Fido Alliance, which includes major companies like Amazon, Apple, and Google, has been developing 64 00:05:26,180 --> 00:05:30,760 passkeys to enhance security and ease of use. 65 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:37,520 These passkeys consist of two encrypted files that eliminate the need for traditional passwords. 66 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,880 Users can log in with a fingerprint, face recognition, or a PIN, making the process 67 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,400 swift and secure. 68 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:52,780 While passwords may linger, their relevance is fading as more platforms adopt passkeys. 69 00:05:52,780 --> 00:05:54,960 In business news. 70 00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:01,000 Ernst & Young, known as EY, recently faced backlash after firing dozens of employees 71 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,200 for cheating during its Ignite Learning Week in May. 72 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,800 Employees were expected to take online courses for professional development, but those who 73 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,920 attended multiple courses simultaneously were let go. 74 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:21,120 This decision shocked many, as the culture at EY promotes multitasking, with some staff 75 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,400 even taking two client calls at once. 76 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:31,160 The average salary at EY in New York City is over $100,000, with an additional annual 77 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,900 bonus of $10,000. 78 00:06:33,900 --> 00:06:40,640 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $67,400. 79 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,100 Ethereum is just under $2,600. 80 00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:51,640 And Goatseas Maximus, which is turning the crypto market on its head, is nearing $0.75. 81 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,440 Moving on to a more local vibe. 82 00:06:54,440 --> 00:07:00,920 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 83 00:07:00,920 -->

talk science. 93 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:48,360 A recent clinical trial by Science Corporation has shown promising results for a retina implant 94 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:54,080 designed to improve vision in individuals with severe vision loss. 95 00:07:54,080 --> 00:08:00,080 The implant has allowed legally blind participants to read text and recognize playing cards. 96 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:06,400 Dr. Frank Holes, the trial's scientific coordinator, hailed the findings as a milestone 97 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:12,280 for treating age-related macular degeneration, which affects 20 million people in the United 98 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,280 States. 99 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:20,040 The setup includes an implant, a camera on glasses, and a pocket computer. 100 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,340 Participants showed significant improvements in visual acuity, with results suggesting 101 00:08:24,340 --> 00:08:29,840 a potential shift from 20-320 vision to 20-200. 102 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:39,120 And in entertainment news, Lionsgate's Losing Streak raises questions about the future of 103 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:44,200 mid-budget films amid a series of disappointing box office performances. 104 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:51,640 Eli Roth's video game adaptation, Borderlands, is expected to lead to a $30 million write 105 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,320 down. 106 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:59,960 From early August to mid-October, seven films, including The Killer's Game and Megalopolis, 107 00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:05,600 struggle to attract audiences, collectively earning only a fraction of their budgets. 108 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,440 Despite a strong lineup last year, including John Wickford's shares have fallen over 109 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,640 30%. 110 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:18,360 Upcoming releases may offer hope for a rebound, yet the entire industry faces significant 111 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,160 economic challenges. 112 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:26,240 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 113 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:33,560 And today, our quote comes from the Jamaican musician and cultural icon, Bob Marley. 114 00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:55,560 And he said, 115 00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:58,220 And that's a wrap for this morning. 116 00:09:58,220 --> 00:10:04,440 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok
