00:00:01.479 --> 00:00:04.179
Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,

00:00:04.339 --> 00:00:08.759
Sunny Mornings in Boston. I'm your host, Melissa,

00:00:09.060 --> 00:00:13.759
and it's Friday, May 16th. You'll be interested

00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:19.199
to know. 96 years ago today, in 1929, the inaugural

00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:22.500
Academy Awards ceremony took place at the Hollywood

00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:26.989
Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles, California. This

00:00:26.989 --> 00:00:29.629
historic event marked the beginning of an annual

00:00:29.629 --> 00:00:32.289
tradition that celebrates excellence in the film

00:00:32.289 --> 00:00:36.390
industry. The first Best Picture award was presented

00:00:36.390 --> 00:00:39.990
to the silent film Wings, and Emil Jannings received

00:00:39.990 --> 00:00:42.929
the Best Actor award for his performances in

00:00:42.929 --> 00:00:47.469
The Last Command and The Way of All Flesh. This

00:00:47.469 --> 00:00:50.090
momentous occasion laid the foundation for what

00:00:50.090 --> 00:00:52.590
would become the most prestigious awards ceremony

00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:57.710
in the world of cinema. So now you know. And

00:00:57.710 --> 00:01:04.109
now, it's time for the weather report. This morning,

00:01:04.150 --> 00:01:07.590
there's patchy fog, and it feels like 62 degrees,

00:01:07.849 --> 00:01:12.090
with 6 mile per hour wind. The sunset will take

00:01:12.090 --> 00:01:15.469
place at 728, and it will rise again tomorrow

00:01:15.469 --> 00:01:19.769
at 617. It looks like we're in for some patchy

00:01:19.769 --> 00:01:22.590
fog early this morning, but it should clear up

00:01:22.590 --> 00:01:27.040
by mid -morning. Expect mostly sunny skies and

00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.319
a high near 73 with a light southeast breeze.

00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:35.000
Tonight, we'll see mostly cloudy conditions,

00:01:35.260 --> 00:01:39.640
a low around 61 and light winds. For all you

00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.480
beach runners out there, the first low tide Friday

00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:47.840
will be at 830 with a high tide at 245. The near

00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:52.239
shore buoy at Cape Cod Bay reads 55 degrees for

00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:56.400
the water temperature. Looking ahead in the weather.

00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.920
Expect mostly cloudy skies Saturday with a chance

00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.980
of rain showers and thunderstorms at a high near

00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:08.939
76. Saturday night brings likely thunderstorms

00:02:08.939 --> 00:02:13.360
and a low around 60. Sunday starts mostly sunny

00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.960
with a high near 74, then a chance of rain showers

00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:21.060
at night. Monday stays mostly sunny with a high

00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:24.360
near 69 and a slight chance of rain showers later

00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:28.180
on. Nights will be partly cloudy with lows around

00:02:28.180 --> 00:02:34.139

00:03:06.729 --> 00:03:12.569
send you. In local news, Harvard University,

00:03:12.770 --> 00:03:15.770
for decades, believed it possessed a cheap copy

00:03:15.770 --> 00:03:19.150
of the Magna Carta. purchased for less than $30.

00:03:20.110 --> 00:03:23.129
However, researchers have now discovered it is

00:03:23.129 --> 00:03:26.889
a rare version from 1300, issued by King Edward

00:03:26.889 --> 00:03:31.270
I. This version is one of only six known copies.

00:03:32.129 --> 00:03:35.009
Professor David Carpenter expressed his amazement

00:03:35.009 --> 00:03:38.050
at finding a previously unknown Magna Carta.

00:03:39.129 --> 00:03:42.169
After confirming its authenticity through advanced

00:03:42.169 --> 00:03:45.560
imaging techniques, Carpenter estimated the document

00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:48.419
is worth millions of dollars, though Harvard

00:03:48.419 --> 00:03:52.300
has no plans to sell it. This discovery is especially

00:03:52.300 --> 00:03:55.639
relevant today, as Harvard faces challenges regarding

00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:05.719
authority and governance. Now on to sports. In

00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:09.020
a pivotal Game 6, the Denver Nuggets triumphed

00:04:09.020 --> 00:04:12.060
over the Oklahoma City Thunder. thanks in part

00:04:12.060 --> 00:04:15.300
to unexpected contributions from Julian Strother

00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:19.399
and other young players. With star Nikola Djokic

00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.100
resting in the fourth quarter, Strother scored

00:04:22.100 --> 00:04:25.480
eight points in a crucial stretch, allowing Djokic

00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:29.360
to catch his breath. Ultimately, Strother finished

00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.420
with 15 points, while teammate Christian Braun

00:04:32.420 --> 00:04:37.519
added 23 points and made key plays. This performance

00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:39.839
underscored the importance of Denver's supporting

00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.819
cast. which has often struggled. If they continue

00:04:43.819 --> 00:04:46.680
to support Jokic, the Nuggets could make a deep

00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:52.019
playoff run. In local sports, tonight at Fenway,

00:04:52.220 --> 00:04:54.899
the Sox host the Braves in game one of a three

00:04:54.899 --> 00:05:00.399
-game series. Chris Sale, sporting a 3 .97 ERA,

00:05:00.579 --> 00:05:03.019
takes the mound for the Braves against Garrett

00:05:03.019 --> 00:05:08.699
Crochet's 1 .93 ERA. With 70 degrees and clear

00:05:08.699 --> 00:05:13.079
skies, it's a perfect night for baseball. Sox

00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:16.480
are slight favorites for this one. Also tonight,

00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:19.939
Game 6 of the East Semifinals is in New York,

00:05:20.019 --> 00:05:22.860
with the surging Celtics facing the improbable

00:05:22.860 --> 00:05:25.699
Knicks. The Knicks are now two -point favorites,

00:05:25.860 --> 00:05:32.060
with tip -off at 8 Eastern on ESPN. In top news...

00:05:32.750 --> 00:05:35.870

00:05:36.310 --> 00:05:39.870
formerly known as MicroStrategy, has shared a

00:05:39.870 --> 00:05:42.329
unique piece of advice for Bitcoin investors,

00:05:42.670 --> 00:05:46.649
stating, Sell a tooth if you must, but keep the

00:05:46.649 --> 00:05:49.949
Bitcoin. This lighthearted quote follows his

00:05:49.949 --> 00:05:53.290
earlier dramatic suggestion in February to sell

00:05:53.290 --> 00:05:57.610
a kidney if you must. Saylor has consistently

00:05:57.610 --> 00:05:59.910
encouraged aggressive investment in Bitcoin.

00:06:00.509 --> 00:06:04.730
even urging followers to mortgage homes. Under

00:06:04.730 --> 00:06:09.129
his leadership, Strategy has acquired over 568

00:06:09.129 --> 00:06:15.850
,840 Bitcoin, valued at nearly $59 billion. He

00:06:15.850 --> 00:06:18.170
believes the company's potential could soar to

00:06:18.170 --> 00:06:21.949
$1 trillion and beyond as Bitcoin continues to

00:06:21.949 --> 00:06:28.829

to create digital human models for selling products

00:06:53.310 --> 00:06:56.949
on TikTok. The company plans to raise funds through

00:06:56.949 --> 00:06:59.959
stock sales, mirroring strategies used by firms

00:06:59.959 --> 00:07:03.699
like MicroStrategy. Following the announcement,

00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:07.959
GDC's stock price initially surged but has since

00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:11.600
retreated. The meme coin Trump currently holds

00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:16.259

day. And today, our quote comes from the American

00:10:10.009 --> 00:10:14.360
inventor and visionary, Buckminster Fuller. And

00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:18.299
he said, There is nothing in a caterpillar that

00:10:18.299 --> 00:10:22.620
tells you it's going to be a butterfly. And that's

00:10:22.620 --> 00:10:25.600
