Barney Oldfield, known as the Speed King, became a legend and made history by driving
the first gas-powered car to 60 miles per hour, achieving the first mile per minute
speed.
Oldfield's sterling races, often in Henry Ford's 999, captivated audiences with their
danger and excitement.
Despite the risks, he dominated the racing scene for a decade, setting numerous records
and becoming a symbol of the car-crazy era.

In top news, for over 180 years, carbohydrates have been misunderstood and often feared.
Nutritionist Catherine Metzlar notes that many men experience guilt over eating carbs.
Historically, carbs have been unfairly blamed for various health issues, from obesity to
diabetes.
However, recent research reveals their importance for a long, healthy life.
Avoiding carbs can be harmful, linking low-carb diets to increased cardiovascular risks.
Understanding the diverse types of carbohydrates, their nutritional value, and avoiding overgeneralization
is key to appreciating their role in a balanced diet.
In business news, Nvidia has recently become the world's most valuable company, surpassing
Microsoft, thanks to a surge in its share price driven by the boom in artificial intelligence.
The company, known for its advanced chips essential for AI and data centers, has seen
its value grow dramatically, with a 3,000% increase over the past five years.
Investors are drawn to Nvidia due to its impressive financial performance, such as a first quarter
revenue of $26 billion and its crucial role in AI development.
However, investing now poses risks.
Nvidia's share price is at an all-time high, and there's pressure for continuous exceptional
performance.
Moreover, potential regulatory issues and energy concerns related to AI could affect
its future growth.
Investing in Nvidia could be rewarding, but it's essential to consider the risks of buying
at a market peak.

with their iPhones, Macs, and iPads through advanced AI features.
A recent study identifies the most likely popular use cases for these new tools.
Enhanced text and email composition will benefit from advanced language and writing capabilities,
while creating custom emojis, or genmoji, could become a hit among texters.

features will offer seamless, smart editing.
These innovations aim to significantly enhance everyday user experiences.

Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the winner of 82 PGA tournaments, Tiger Woods.
And he said,
People don't understand that when I grew up, I was never the most talented.
I was never the biggest.
I was never the fastest.
I certainly was never the strongest.
The only thing I had was my work ethic, and that's been what has gotten me this far.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos
