In local news, in Massachusetts, 00:02:58.210 --> 00:03:01.069 the number of staff members at Newton Wellesley 00:03:01.069 --> 00:03:04.050 Hospital reporting benign brain tumors has now 00:03:04.050 --> 00:03:08.050 reached six. This follows revelations from the 00:03:08.050 --> 00:03:10.569 hospital regarding five staffers in the fifth 00:03:10.569 --> 00:03:14.189 -floor maternity unit.

However, the Massachusetts 00:03:29.110 --> 00:03:32.270 Nurses Association criticized the hospital's 00:03:32.270 --> 00:03:36.340 environmental testing as insufficient. The hospital 00:03:36.340 --> 00:03:39.060 emphasizes that patient and staff well -being 00:03:39.060 --> 00:03:42.219 remains its top priority and aims to provide 00:03:42.219 --> 00:03:45.379 accurate information amid widespread misinformation. 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:55.460 Now on to sports. An exciting first round at 00:03:55.460 --> 00:03:58.740 Augusta National saw many stars positioning themselves 00:03:58.740 --> 00:04:02.939 well. Justin Rose shares the lead for a record 00:04:02.939 --> 00:04:05.659 fifth time after round one. becoming the oldest 00:04:05.659 --> 00:04:10.379 player to do so since Fred Couples in 2010. Rose 00:04:10.379 --> 00:04:13.879 has experienced major heartbreak, with 14 top 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.860 10 finishes since 2014, yet remains without a 00:04:17.860 --> 00:04:21.699 win. Defending champion Scottie Scheffler started 00:04:21.699 --> 00:04:25.339 strong with a bogey -free 68, aiming for a third 00:04:25.339 --> 00:04:28.959 green jacket.

In local sports. 00:04:43.850 --> 00:04:46.850 Last night at Fenway, the Sox edged the Blue 00:04:46.850 --> 00:04:51.529 Jays 4 -3 in 10 innings.

While some cities have raised 00:06:40.939 --> 00:06:43.560 concerns about congestion and job displacement, 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.319 DoorDash believes that this partnership will 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.779 reshape urban delivery in the United States, 00:06:49.060 --> 00:06:52.500 expanding to nearly 600 merchants in Los Angeles. 00:06:54.139 --> 00:06:58.670 In business news.

This pricing strategy may reflect the 00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:35.259 impact of tariffs imposed by President Donald 00:07:35.259 --> 00:07:39.199 Trump.

Moving on to a more local 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:04.680 vibe. In our community spotlight on health and 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:07.620 wellness, we are working with a national Pilates 00:08:07.620 --> 00:08:10.939 studio to bring you some free classes, so listen 00:08:10.939 --> 00:08:15.120 up.

And now, back to the show. 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.429 Let's talk science. Purple isn't a color that 00:08:50.429 --> 00:08:53.570 exists on the visual spectrum, but rather a pigment 00:08:53.570 --> 00:08:57.309 of our imagination. The human eye perceives purple 00:08:57.309 --> 00:09:00.230 as a combination of wavelengths from opposite 00:09:00.230 --> 00:09:03.830 ends of the spectrum. When red and blue wavelengths 00:09:03.830 --> 00:09:06.690 are detected, our brain creatively bends the 00:09:06.690 --> 00:09:09.850 visual spectrum into a circle, allowing us to 00:09:09.850 --> 00:09:13.870 see purple. Unlike violet, which has its own 00:09:13.870 --> 00:09:16.809 wavelength, purple arises from our brain's effort 00:09:16.809 --> 00:09:20.789 to resolve confusion. This phenomenon illustrates 00:09:20.789 --> 00:09:24.110 how our perception can create non -spectral colors, 00:09:24.330 --> 00:09:27.110 making purple a captivating illusion grounded 00:09:27.110 --> 00:09:33.309 in physics and neuroscience. And in entertainment 00:09:33.309 --> 00:09:37.350 news, China's film administration announced on 00:09:37.350 --> 00:09:40.250 Thursday that it will moderately reduce the number 00:09:40.250 --> 00:09:43.690 of American films imported amid escalating trade 00:09:43.690 --> 00:09:46.899 tensions. This shift comes as President Trump 00:09:46.899 --> 00:09:52.559 raised tariffs on Chinese goods to 145%. Although 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:55.360 not a complete ban, the agency did not specify 00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:59.100 how many U .S. films would be allowed. Hollywood's 00:09:59.100 --> 00:10:02.039 box office performance in China dropped significantly, 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:08.919 still about 75 % below its peak in 2017. Analysts 00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:11.639 note that while local films dominate, American 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.580 blockbusters remain crucial for drawing audiences 00:10:14.580 --> 00:10:17.759 to theaters and boosting consumer spending in 00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:22.240 China. Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.080 quote of the day. And today, our quote comes 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.620 from the Lebanese -American poet and philosopher, 00:10:29.059 --> 00:10:34.559 Khalil Gibran. And he said, Trust in dreams, 00:10:34.779 --> 00:10:39.720 for in them is hidden the gate to eternity. And 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.679 that's a wrap for this morning. You can check 00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:45.980 out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some 00:10:45.980 --> 00:10:49.360 captivating aerial videos with local news and 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.600 the weather reports.
