Measuring 510 feet long, the U.S. Halsey can carry over 90 missiles and served as an escort
for the U.S. Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group during its mission.
BAE Systems plans to enhance the ship's Aegis combat system and improve living spaces, with
work starting later this month and ongoing through 2026.
Now on to sports.

In top news, hopping pimples on your nose can be dangerous, particularly in what is
known as the Triangle of Death.
This area, which spans from the bridge of your nose to your upper lip, houses vital
arteries and nerves.
A viral TikTok by Dr. Ever Arias highlights the risk of bacterial infections that could
lead to severe complications, including stroke and even death.
While serious infections are rare, dermatologists stress the importance of avoiding this habit.
Instead, they recommend maintaining a proper skincare routine and seeking professional
help for bothersome pimples to prevent inflammation and scarring.

Let's talk tech.
Tesla has reached a remarkable milestone, manufacturing its 100 millionth battery cell,
which is pivotal for enhancing energy capacity, extending range, and reducing production costs.
The 4680 battery, with a diameter of 46 millimeters and a length of 80 millimeters, is part of
Tesla's strategy to power about 100,000 electric vehicles, although the company anticipates
producing approximately 1.8 million electric vehicles in 2024.
Notably, Tesla's AI-trained humanoid robot, Optimus, played a very small role in this
achievement.
Despite challenges, Tesla continues to innovate, aiming for advancements in artificial intelligence
and robotics.

Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the American politician and 33rd President of the United
States, Harry S. Truman.
And he said,
Men make history and not the other way around.
In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still.
Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things
for the better.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos,

Have an amazing day, my good friends.
