  Sunny Mornings in Boston. I'm your host, Melissa,
• 0:09
  and it's Monday, July 27th. You'll be interested
• 0:13
  to know. 73 years ago, today, in 1953. Armistice
• 0:20
  agreements halted active hostilities on the Korean
• 0:23
  Peninsula, bringing a hard -won pause and allowing
• 0:26
  prisoners to be exchanged and frontlines to stabilize.
• 0:30
  This armistice established a ceasefire line and
• 0:34
  demilitarized the zone that created space for
• 0:37
  humanitarian relief, set a framework for diplomacy,
• 0:40
  and marked a milestone in achieving an uneasy
• 0:43
  peace. So now you know. And now, it's time for
• 0:50
  the weather report. This morning, it's mostly
• 0:55
  sunny and it feels like 62 degrees with one mile
• 0:59
  per hour wind. The sunset will take place at
• 1:03
  AGO 6 and it will rise again tomorrow at 533.
• 1:07
  It looks like we're in for some sunny weather
• 1:09
  today with a high near 80 and a light northeast
• 1:12
  breeze around six miles per hour. If you're inland,
• 1:17
  it will hit a high of 82 tonight. Expect mostly
• 1:22
  clear skies with a low around 64 and a light
• 1:26
  south wind around 5 miles per hour. The near
• 1:30
  shore buoy at Cape Cod Bay reads 68 degrees for
• 1:34
  the water temperature. Looking ahead in the weather.
• 1:39
  Tuesday has a chance of morning rain between
• 1:42
  9 and 11 a .m., then a chance of showers and
• 1:45
  thunderstorms with a high near 82 and a light
• 1:48
  south wind. Tuesday night into Wednesday will
• 1:51

• 2:20
  enthusiasts. This podcast is brought to you by
• 2:24
  Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. Nestled
• 2:28
  on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas
• 2:31
  Boulevard, this cafe is a haven for culinary
• 2:35
  delights. Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict
• 2:39
  or their gluten -free crepes. You can grab a
• 2:43
  panini for lunch or just breeze on through to
• 2:46
  get your morning coffee. They are open every
• 2:49
  day from 8 to 5. So stop on by and don't forget
• 2:53
  to tell them. Sunny mornings send you. In local
• 2:58
  news, investigators have shared new details about
• 3:02
  the fire that ripped through the dive, a popular
• 3:05
  floating bar and restaurant on New Hampshire's
• 3:07
  Lake Winnopsaukee on Saturday. The boat has been
• 3:10
  towed away from the Smalls Cove sandbar and is
• 3:13
  considered a total loss. according to the New
• 3:15
  Hampshire State Fire Marshal's office, which
• 3:18
  is investigating the incident. The fire was reported
• 3:22
  around 3 .39 p .m. while the dive was open for
• 3:25
  business, but thankfully no one was hurt. Firefighters
• 3:30
  from various local departments successfully extinguished
• 3:33
  the flames, and it is believed the fire started
• 3:36
  in the kitchen with no suspicion of foul play.
• 3:44
  Now onto sports. Marlins dropped their 12th straight
• 3:49
  game, creating franchise history, as they eyed
• 3:52
  the upcoming trade deadline. The struggling Miami
• 3:56
  Marlins, who recently held Playoff Hopes after
• 3:58
  a 20 -6 record in June, have sharply declined
• 4:02
  in July. This losing streak marks the longest
• 4:05
  in major league baseball this season, matching
• 4:08
  the New York Mets. Marlins manager Clayton McCullough
• 4:12
  stated, We're going to meet this head -on, adding
• 4:14
  that the team must take responsibility for their
• 4:17
  situation. They recently fell to 52 -54, trailing
• 4:22
  the Atlanta Braves by 10 .5 games. As they prepare
• 4:27
  for a series against the Philadelphia Phillies,
• 4:30
  trade rumors swirl around pitchers Max Mayer,
• 4:33
  Yuri Perez, and catcher Liam Hicks. In local
• 4:37
  sports, the Red Sox took down Toronto 6 -1. yesterday
• 4:42
  at Fenway to win the series. Ranger Suarez was
• 4:46
  brilliant with four innings of two -hit ball
• 4:48
  and six strikeouts, while Jaren Duran led the
• 4:52
  offense with three hits and two RBIs. Boston
• 4:56
  is now 54 -50 after that bounce -back performance,
• 5:00
  and they are heading out west tonight to face
• 5:03
  Oakland at 940. Peyton Tall gets the start against
• 5:08
  the Athletics, Jack Perkins, in the opening game
• 5:11
  of a four -game series. The Sox have gone 8 -2
• 5:15
  over their last ten, so there is real momentum
• 5:18
  to carry into this matchup. Meanwhile, the Patriots
• 5:22
  made a blockbuster move today, acquiring star
• 5:25
  receiver A .G. Brown from Philadelphia. That
• 5:29
  is a massive signal of intent as they continue
• 5:32
  their rebuild. Boston also signed rookie witty
• 5:36
  -out Kobe Prentiss off waivers and placed tight
• 5:39
  end Julian Hill on injured reserve. Over in basketball,
• 5:44
  the Celtics locked up young forward Jordan Walsh
• 5:48
  to a three -year extension worth $16 million
• 5:51
  with a deal kicking in next season. That keeps
• 5:55
  a promising piece around Jason Tadam as the team
• 5:58
  reshapes after their early playoff exit. Summer
• 6:02
  League standout John Tonge has signed a two -way
• 6:05
  contract with Portland. In top news, Colorado
• 6:11
  River reservoirs have reached record lows as
• 6:14
  the Trump administration threatens major cuts.
• 6:18
  A worsening water crisis in the western United
• 6:20
  States has stalled progress, leaving potential
• 6:23
  solutions dwindling. Lake Med and Lake Powell,
• 6:27
  the nation's two largest reservoirs, are at their
• 6:30
  lowest levels on record. Seven states are in
• 6:33
  disagreement over how to share the rapidly shrinking
• 6:36
  water supply. Kelly Shannon McNeil of L .A. Waterkeeper
• 6:41
  stated that lower basin states have reduced their
• 6:44
  usage by nearly 20 % since 2015. In contrast,
• 6:50
  upper basin states have increased their usage,
• 6:53
  citing affordability issues. The Trump administration
• 6:57
  may impose sweeping cuts after years of failed
• 7:00
  negotiations. California, Arizona, and Nevada
• 7:05
  have proposed reducing their usage by about 1
• 7:08
  ,600 ,000 acre -feet per year. However, federal
• 7:13
  officials are considering cuts nearly double
• 7:16
  that amount. Such cuts would likely increase
• 7:19
  costs for cities, impose tighter restrictions
• 7:22
  on outdoor water, and significantly impact farmers.
• 7:27
  McNeil urged residents to contact their elected
• 7:29
  representatives to push for agreements. A warming
• 7:33
  climate has resulted in diminished snowpack and
• 7:36
  less snowmelt for the river each spring. If water
• 7:40
  levels in Lake Powell drop another 33 feet, hydroelectric
• 7:44
  power generation will cease. With both reservoirs
• 7:48
  below 30 % capacity, timely decisions are crucial
• 7:51
  for residents. In business news, Moody's ratings
• 7:57
  warns that unprecedented artificial intelligence
• 8:00
  spending is threatening the credit quality of
• 8:02
  major companies like Amazon, Meta, and Alphabet.
• 8:07
  The research note highlights that this spending
• 8:09
  surge is forcing even cash -rich corporations
• 8:12
  to rely heavily on debt and stock sales to fund
• 8:15
  their artificial intelligence initiatives. Moody
• 8:19
  states that the transition to asset -heavy models
• 8:22
  necessitates unprecedented levels of investment
• 8:25
  in capital raising. Capital expenditures are
• 8:29
  projected to reach $785 billion in 2026, nearing
• 8:35
  $1 trillion next year. Despite these risks, companies
• 8:40
  like Microsoft and Alphabet maintain some of
• 8:43
  the strongest corporate balance sheets globally.
• 8:46
  In crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 5 % to about
• 8:51
  $64 ,000. Ethereum is down 5 % to just under
• 8:57
  $1 ,900. And XRP is down 23 % to $1 .10. Moving
• 9:05
  on to a more local vibe. In our community spotlight

  now, back to the show. Let's talk tech. Our brain
• 9:55
  waves the next unlock for physical artificial
• 9:58
  intelligence. The frontier of physical artificial
• 10:02
  intelligence unfolds in a warehouse in San Leandro,
• 10:05
  California. This space houses ENCORD, a company
• 10:09
  developing data tools for training artificial
• 10:12
  intelligence models. Andrasija, a pilot for the
• 10:15
  company, is meticulously disassembling a tower
• 10:18
  while wearing a headset that tracks his brain
• 10:21
  waves. ENCORD aims to create a brain wavetag
• 10:25
  data set to enhance robotic training performance.
• 10:29
  Lucas Gurk, a supervising neuroscientist, notes
• 10:32
  that brain activity can guide model builders
• 10:35
  on when to use high -effort models. Vineeth Velmurugan,
• 10:39
  ENCORD's head of robot learning, emphasizes the
• 10:42
  importance of generating the necessary training
• 10:45
  data. And in entertainment news, Netflix is set
• 10:52
  to debut a new six -part British crime miniseries
• 10:55
  titled, The Bombing of Pan Am 103 on July 30th.
• 11:01
  This gripping series recounts the devastating
• 11:03
  events surrounding the December 21st, 1988, terrorist
• 11:08
  attack that killed 269 people. Based on testimonies
• 11:13
  from witnesses, it explores the profound impact
• 11:16
  on families and a small town caught in the tragedy.
• 11:21
  Co -created by Jonathan Lee and Adam Moraine
• 11:24
  Griffiths, the series features actors such as
• 11:27
  Connor Swindles and Patrick J. Adams. Stay tuned
• 11:32
  to Collider for more updates on this highly anticipated
• 11:35
  release. Well, all righty folks, it's time for
• 11:39
  the quote of the day. And today, our quote comes
• 11:43
  from the American historian and author, Will
• 11:46
  Durant. And he said, civilization is not inherited.
• 11:52
  It has to be learned and earned by each generation
• 11:55
  anew. If the transmission should be interrupted
• 11:58
  for one century, civilization would die and we
• 12:01
  should be savages again. And that's a wrap for
• 12:06
  this morning. You can check out our Instagram,
