They are open every 00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:44.960 day from 8 to 5. So stop on by and don't forget 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:51.900 to tell them. Sunny mornings send you. Bridgewater 00:02:51.900 --> 00:02:55.020 has declared a water supply emergency and is 00:02:55.020 --> 00:02:59.120 urging residents to limit indoor water use. This 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.300 decision aims to expedite a temporary water connection 00:03:02.300 --> 00:03:04.979 with Middleborough to address ongoing issues, 00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:09.599 including brown water. William Young, Bridgewater's 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.020 water superintendent, emphasized, we are addressing 00:03:13.020 --> 00:03:16.020 this matter with the utmost seriousness in the 00:03:16.020 --> 00:03:19.639 emergency declaration. Residents have been encouraged 00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:22.879 to adopt conservation practices, such as shorter 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.419 showers and only running dishwashers and washing 00:03:25.419 --> 00:03:28.860 machines when full. Yale warned that the connection 00:03:28.860 --> 00:03:31.659 may lead to temporary brown water in several 00:03:31.659 --> 00:03:35.379 neighborhoods due to changes in water flow. Town 00:03:35.379 --> 00:03:37.939 officials estimate that upgrades to municipal 00:03:37.939 --> 00:03:46.500 wells may take two years to complete. Now onto 00:03:46.500 --> 00:03:52.009 sports. The Baltimore Ravens lost 27 -22 to the 00:03:52.009 --> 00:03:55.210 Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, and one controversial 00:03:55.210 --> 00:03:57.810 call in the fourth quarter played a major role 00:03:57.810 --> 00:04:01.389 in this significant game. Both teams entered 00:04:01.389 --> 00:04:05.210 with 6 -6 records, but arrived at them in completely 00:04:05.210 --> 00:04:08.590 opposite ways. With less than three minutes to 00:04:08.590 --> 00:04:11.830 go, quarterback Lamar Jackson appeared to find 00:04:11.830 --> 00:04:15.210 tight end Isaiah Likely for a 13 -yard touchdown. 00:04:16.139 --> 00:04:19.300 Initially ruled a touchdown, the call was overturned 00:04:19.300 --> 00:04:22.600 upon review, as likely did not make a football 00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:26.000 move. The Steelers held on for the win, moving 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.439 to 7 -6, while the Ravens fell to 10th place 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.339 and are now two games behind the Indianapolis 00:04:32.339 --> 00:04:36.019 Colts for the final playoff spot. And last night 00:04:36.019 --> 00:04:38.519 on Monday Night Football, the Chargers pulled 00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:41.019 ahead in overtime to defeat the Philadelphia 00:04:41.019 --> 00:04:45.949 Eagles in a thrilling 22 -19 win. This victory 00:04:45.949 --> 00:04:48.529 marked the biggest win of the season for a Chargers 00:04:48.529 --> 00:04:51.389 team that seemed to be spiraling out of playoff 00:04:51.389 --> 00:04:55.389 contention. Quarterback Justin Herbert, just 00:04:55.389 --> 00:04:57.769 a week after surgery on a fracture in his left 00:04:57.769 --> 00:05:02.149 hand, rushed for 66 yards. The Chargers defense 00:05:02.149 --> 00:05:06.189 forced five turnovers from Super Bowl MVP Jalen 00:05:06.189 --> 00:05:09.509 Hurts, including a crucial interception in overtime. 00:05:10.750 --> 00:05:13.610 Next, the Chargers face the Kansas City Chiefs. 00:05:13.629 --> 00:05:17.709 while the Eagles meet the Las Vegas Raiders in 00:05:17.709 --> 00:05:21.990 local sports. The St. Louis Blues host the Bruins 00:05:21.990 --> 00:05:25.430 after Brayden Shen scored two goals in the Blues' 00:05:25.829 --> 00:05:30.149 4 -3 win against the Montreal Canadiens. St. 00:05:30.209 --> 00:05:34.310 Louis has a record of 5 wins, 6 losses, and 4 00:05:34.310 --> 00:05:38.490 overtime losses at home, and 11 wins, 12 losses, 00:05:38.870 --> 00:05:42.850 and 7 overtime losses overall. The Blues have 00:05:42.850 --> 00:05:47.370 a scoring differential of negative 25, with 77 00:05:47.370 --> 00:05:52.250 goals scored and 102 goals conceded. Boston has 00:05:52.250 --> 00:05:55.589 a record of 6 wins and 8 losses in road games, 00:05:56.050 --> 00:06:00.930 and 17 wins and 13 losses overall. The two teams 00:06:00.930 --> 00:06:03.110 meet Tuesday for the second time this season, 00:06:03.389 --> 00:06:05.689 with the Bruins winning the previous matchup 00:06:05.689 --> 00:06:12.129 5 -2. In top news, The Supreme Court appeared 00:06:12.129 --> 00:06:14.769 poised Monday to expand the president's power 00:06:14.769 --> 00:06:18.490 to fire heads of many regulatory agencies, despite 00:06:18.490 --> 00:06:21.730 one pivotal justice expressing a desire to insulate 00:06:21.730 --> 00:06:24.069 the Federal Reserve from political pressure. 00:06:25.430 --> 00:06:27.569 During two and a half hours of oral arguments, 00:06:28.129 --> 00:06:30.290 justices probed the limits of President Trump's 00:06:30.290 --> 00:06:33.149 assertion of virtually unfettered authority to 00:06:33.149 --> 00:06:37.180 remove agency leaders. Justice Brett Kavanaugh 00:06:37.180 --> 00:06:40.040 raised concerns about a broad victory for Trump 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.699 jeopardizing the independence of the Federal 00:06:42.699 --> 00:06:46.660 Reserve's Board of Governors. Justice Alina Kagan 00:06:46.660 --> 00:06:49.480 warned that increasing presidential power could 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.079 undermine civil service protections for federal 00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.839 employees. Rulings in both cases are expected 00:06:55.839 --> 00:07:02.360 by July. In business news, this week a key moment 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.319 for artificial intelligence docs unfolds. and 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:09.079 it has nothing to do with NVIDIA. Oracle's earnings 00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:11.459 will be the crucial event for tech investors. 00:07:12.740 --> 00:07:15.139 The market's focus on artificial intelligence 00:07:15.139 --> 00:07:18.439 growth has expanded beyond NVIDIA's chip demand. 00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:22.220 Concerns arise over the sustainability of data 00:07:22.220 --> 00:07:25.379 center demand as investors remain vigilant about 00:07:25.379 --> 00:07:29.240 signals from key companies. Oracle reports its 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.240 fiscal second quarter results on Wednesday. with 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:36.500 analysts expecting about 15 % sales growth. The 00:07:36.500 --> 00:07:39.319 outlook for Oracle's demand from OpenAI will 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:42.360 also be scrutinized as a five -year contract 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:47.680 worth $300 billion begins in 2027. This week 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:50.680 is pivotal, so be prepared for significant market 00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:55.040 movements. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 00:07:55.040 --> 00:08:01.519 2 % to about $90 ,000. Ethereum is down 1 % to 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:08.540 just over 3 ,100. And XRP is down 1 % to $2 .05. 00:08:10.220 --> 00:08:14.399 Moving on to a more local vibe. In our community 00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.319 spotlight on health and wellness, we are working 00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:20.339 with a national Pilates studio to bring you some 00:08:20.339 --> 00:08:24.899 free classes, so listen up.

And now, 00:08:55.850 --> 00:09:00.960 back to the show. Let's talk science. An invisible 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:04.139 force has long eluded detection within the halls 00:09:04.139 --> 00:09:07.059 of the world's most famous particle accelerator 00:09:07.059 --> 00:09:11.899 until now. Scientists at CERN, in Switzerland 00:09:11.899 --> 00:09:14.860 and Boothy University, Frankfurt, have announced 00:09:14.860 --> 00:09:18.120 the isolation of a resonant ghost that affects 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:21.740 particle behavior inside this super proton synchrotron. 00:09:22.860 --> 00:09:25.360 This three -dimensional shape shifts over time 00:09:25.470 --> 00:09:29.250 best measured in four dimensions. The ghost arises 00:09:29.250 --> 00:09:31.970 from resonance, where energy waves interact, 00:09:32.230 --> 00:09:36.129 leading to beam degradation. Understanding this 00:09:36.129 --> 00:09:39.230 phenomenon is crucial to avoiding particle loss 00:09:39.230 --> 00:09:43.129 in accelerator physics. Their findings aim to 00:09:43.129 --> 00:09:46.190 help develop strategies to mitigate these effects 00:09:46.190 --> 00:09:52.730 in future particle accelerators. And in entertainment 00:09:52.730 --> 00:09:56.080 news... Laurence Fishburne is looking to step 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.720 back behind the camera and is currently developing 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.980 a directing project, The Rule of Nines, with 00:10:01.980 --> 00:10:04.759 producer and casting director Bonnie Timmerman 00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:08.860 and actor Andre Holland. John Connor wrote the 00:10:08.860 --> 00:10:12.379 script. Fishburne expresses, the fact that I 00:10:12.379 --> 00:10:15.539 have been making films since I was 11 or 12 means 00:10:15.539 --> 00:10:19.730 that I am a filmmaker. He adds, this may be the 00:10:19.730 --> 00:10:22.090 moment where I move into the director space in 00:10:22.090 --> 00:10:26.429 a real, consistent kind of way. Fishfirm will 00:10:26.429 --> 00:10:28.750 return for the fifth and final season of The 00:10:28.750 --> 00:10:31.669 Witcher, which he anticipates will probably be 00:10:31.669 --> 00:10:34.070 streaming next year, probably around the same 00:10:34.070 --> 00:10:39.070 time, like Halloween. Well, alrighty folks, it's 00:10:39.070 --> 00:10:43.029 time for the quote of the day. And today, our 00:10:43.029 --> 00:10:45.490 quote comes from the Indian political leader 00:10:45.490 --> 00:10:51.000 and activist, Mahatma Gandhi, and he said, in 00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:54.279 a gentle way, you can shake the world, emphasizing 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:57.659 the power of nonviolent resistance and grassroots 00:10:57.659 --> 00:11:02.659 mobilization to create significant change. And 00:11:02.659 --> 00:11:05.740 that's a wrap for this morning. You can check 00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:09.500 out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some 00:11:09.500 --> 00:11:12.879 captivating aerial videos with local news and 00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:16.679 the weather reports. Had an amazing day, my good 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.120 friends. We'll see you tomorrow with another 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:21.419 episode of Sunny Mornings in Boston.
