A restaurant owner in California plans to raise wages to compete with the $20 per hour pay for fast-food workers.

The increased minimum wages worsen the existing challenges faced by independent restaurants in California.

Quick Glance: Rescuing Stranded Sea Otter Pups with Surrogate Moms in California Aquarium

Annually, approximately 10 to 15 stranded sea otter pups are discovered along the California coastline, often a result of storms causing separation between mother and offspring.

Through a collaboration between the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the pups are connected with surrogate sea otter mothers to impart crucial skills and facilitate their return to the wilderness.

Program manager Megan Smylie details how the adult surrogate mother will impart behaviors to the pups that humans are incapable of teaching, such as foraging, prey manipulation, and shell opening.

Having already saved eight stranded pups, the two aquariums aspire for additional organizations to join the initiative in boosting the wild population and safeguarding the ecosystem of the Californian coast.

Quick Glance: Tesla to Cut 14,000 Jobs, Elon Musk Aims for Lean Brand

Tesla is laying off more than 10% of its global workforce, equivalent to at least 14,000 roles, in response to slowing demand and price pressure.

Elon Musk announced the 'difficult decision' in a memo, mentioning that Tesla had experienced role and function duplications in certain areas due to rapid growth in recent years.

The job cuts follow a difficult start to the year for the electric carmaker, citing production problems caused by unforeseen factors and a decline in global demand.

Tesla recorded a gross profit margin of 17.6% in the fourth quarter, the lowest in over four years, attributed to repeated price cuts and increased competition in China.

Why Is Civil War So Evasive About the Nature of Its Civil War?: Alex Garland’s studious “objectivity” isn’t enough.

Quick Glance: A24's 'Civil War' movie portrays a divided America

A group of journalists travels through empty cities and deserted roads to Washington to overthrow a dictatorial president.

Critics expressed concerns over Garland's vague approach to the film's politics, amidst online debates surrounding it.

A24 heavily focuses on a marketing campaign that encourages viewers to 'pledge' allegiance and describe their type of American to promote the film.

Quick Glance: Major Burger King California Franchisee Introduces Order Kiosks Due to $20 Wage Impact

Harsh Ghai stated in an early April interview that 25% of his restaurants already have kiosks, with the remaining 75% set to be equipped within the next 30 to 60 days.

The new minimum wage for limited-service restaurant chains with at least 60 nationwide locations took effect on April 1, standing 25% higher than California's general minimum wage of $16 per hour.

Ghai plans to offset the higher labor costs by implementing measures such as reducing work hours, introducing kiosks, and halting the development of new restaurants.

Fast-food chains are accelerating the deployment of order kiosks in US locations to cut labor costs, with the introduction becoming more pressing due to California's new $20 minimum wage.

Quick Glance: Ippei Mizuhara Remains Free Despite Bank Fraud Charges on $25,000 Bond

Former interpreter for baseball star Shohei Ohtani from the Los Angeles Dodgers surrendered to authorities and later appeared before the U.S. District Court.

Ippei Mizuhara turned himself in on Friday and was subsequently released on an unsecured $25,000 bond, commonly referred to as a signature bond. This arrangement allowed Mizuhara to secure his release without needing to provide any cash or collateral.

United States Magistrate Judge Maria A. Audero also stipulated that Mizuhara must undergo treatment for his gambling addiction related to the sports betting scandal. Prosecutors alleged that he exploited his personal and professional connection with Ohtani to steal over $16 million from the player's bank account by occasionally posing as Ohtani to bankers to cover his gambling expenses.

On Friday, Mizuhara only responded to the judge's inquiries by answering 'yes' when Audero asked him if he comprehended various aspects of the case and his bond conditions.

Quick Glance: Oakland Airport Considers Adding 'San Francisco' to Name

Oakland International Airport is considering adding 'San Francisco' to its name to attract more passengers, but faces opposition from neighbors across the Bay.

The Board of Commissioners for the Port of Oakland will discuss the matter at their upcoming meeting on Thursday.

Officially known as Metropolitan Oakland International Airport, the airport lost 39 of 54 new routes added from July 2008 to March 2024, raising concerns about geographical confusion among travelers.

The potential name-change has alarmed San Francisco officials, who fear it would cause confusion among travelers and infringe on the city's trademark rights.

apnews.com/article/los-angeles-infant-freeway-homicide-investigation-eclipse-681f9434051fd80187677b2f67787b3a

Quick Glance: Mother Throws 2 Kids on L.A. Freeway: One Child Killed

A woman who fatally stabbed her partner in their Los Angeles apartment and then threw her two children from a moving SUV onto the freeway, resulting in the death of her infant daughter, had a background in astrology. In a prior online post, she referred to the upcoming solar eclipse as 'the epitome of spiritual warfare'.

Los Angeles police suspect that Danielle Cherakiyah Johnson, 34, utilized the persona 'Ayoka' as an astrology influencer and musician on X in the days leading up to the incidents.

The altercation between Johnson and her partner, 29-year-old Jaelen Allen Chaney, occurred around 3:40 a.m. in their Woodland Hills apartment. Following the stabbing of Chaney, Johnson fled with her children, an 8-month-old girl, and her 9-year-old sister, in a Porsche Cayenne.

Subsequently, Johnson drove on Interstate 405 in Culver City and discarded her daughters from the moving SUV around 4:30 a.m. The infant was declared deceased on the road, while the older daughter, who witnessed the attack, sustained moderate injuries.
