And 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.980 it has a sweet history, beginning in Sweden in 00:00:21.980 --> 00:00:26.280 the early 1600s. Originally paired with jams 00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:30.339 and fruits, waffles gained popularity. Over time, 00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:33.079 their recipes evolved, becoming sweeter by the 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:38.039 1700s. A linguistic mix -up with Our Lady Day 00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:42.780 led to the celebration today. So now you know. 00:00:43.380 --> 00:00:50.340 And now, it's time for the Surf Report. Tuesday 00:00:50.340 --> 00:00:55.060 in Encinitas and North County.

Waves hold around 2 feet throughout the morning, 00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:05.540 providing great conditions. However, expect the 00:01:05.540 --> 00:01:09.760 winds to remain onshore at 3 mph, keeping things 00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:13.359 smooth as the day progresses. As the afternoon 00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.359 approaches, conditions may shift to semi -glassy 00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:20.439 with a slight bump. Best time to ride is at 7 00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:24.159 a .m. with a 5 -foot high tide, when the south 00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.939 -southwest swell is 1 .5 feet at 13 seconds. 00:01:28.540 --> 00:01:32.939 and the onshore wind is 3 mph. The first high 00:01:32.939 --> 00:01:37.219 tide Tuesday will be 5 foot at 6 .45 a .m., with 00:01:37.219 --> 00:01:42.180 a minus a half foot low tide at 1 .45. The near 00:01:42.180 --> 00:01:46.200 -shore buoy at Beacons reads 61 degrees for the 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:50.019 water temperature. Wednesday through Friday we'll 00:01:50.019 --> 00:01:52.519 see choppy conditions with winds consistently 00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:56.920 around 8 to 12 mph, primarily from the southwest. 00:01:58.030 --> 00:02:01.090 Morning sessions may start off fair, but expect 00:02:01.090 --> 00:02:04.430 deteriorating conditions as winds increase, particularly 00:02:04.430 --> 00:02:08.289 in the afternoons. Wave heights will range from 00:02:08.289 --> 00:02:11.509 waist to chest high, building slightly by Friday, 00:02:11.650 --> 00:02:14.430 but the prevailing choppiness will impact surf 00:02:14.430 --> 00:02:18.810 quality throughout the period.

His status for the home opener 00:05:18.620 --> 00:05:21.500 against the Detroit Tigers remains uncertain. 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:27.579 In local sports.

This finding, if confirmed, could 00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.350 challenge the standard model of cosmology. called 00:06:40.350 --> 00:06:45.050 LCDM. DESI's data indicates that the effects 00:06:45.050 --> 00:06:47.769 of dark energy might be weakening over time, 00:06:47.949 --> 00:06:51.410 rather than remaining constant. This discovery 00:06:51.410 --> 00:06:54.529 raises questions about the universe's fate.

As cosmologist Will Percival states, 00:07:01.910 --> 00:07:04.490 this is actually a little bit of a shot in the 00:07:04.490 --> 00:07:09.779 arm for the field. In business news, Dropbox 00:07:09.779 --> 00:07:12.759 is under pressure from activist investor Half 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.680 Moon Capital to end founder control over the 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.259 file storage company. The hedge fund criticizes 00:07:19.259 --> 00:07:22.720 Dropbox's slowing revenue growth and its payment 00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.660 strategy. A shareholder proposal seeks to remove 00:07:26.660 --> 00:07:29.180 the dual -class share structure that grants CEO 00:07:29.180 --> 00:07:33.160 and co -founder Drew Houston a voting supermajority. 00:07:33.980 --> 00:07:37.740 Half Moon Capital holds around 40 ,000 Dropbox 00:07:37.740 --> 00:07:41.319 shares. valued at approximately $100 million. 00:07:42.420 --> 00:07:45.839 This proposal requires a majority vote for approval, 00:07:46.019 --> 00:07:49.980 meaning Houston's support is essential. The company 00:07:49.980 --> 00:07:52.740 has been reducing its workforce and faces challenges 00:07:52.740 --> 00:07:57.819 from competitors.
