Rising Drug Production: A Key Driver Transforming The Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Software Market 2024Mr Carter, a former peanut farmer, served one term in the White House between 1977 and 1981, taking over in the wake of the Watergate scandal and the end of the Vietnam War. After his defeat by Ronald Reagan, he spent his post-presidency years as a global humanitarian, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. His death on Sunday was announced by his family and came more than a year after he decided to enter hospice care. He was the longest-lived US president. His son, Chip Carter, said: “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights and unselfish love. “My brothers, sister and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. “The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honouring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.” World leaders have paid tribute to Mr Carter, including US President Joe Biden, who was one of the first politicians to endorse Mr Carter for president in 1976 and said the world had “lost an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian”. He said: “Over six decades, we had the honour of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend. But, what’s extraordinary about Jimmy Carter, though, is that millions of people throughout America and the world who never met him thought of him as a dear friend as well. Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia. pic.twitter.com/aqYmcE9tXi — The Carter Center (@CarterCenter) December 29, 2024 “With his compassion and moral clarity, he worked to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil rights and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless, and always advocate for the least among us. “He saved, lifted, and changed the lives of people all across the globe.” Irish President Michael D Higgins said Mr Carter was “a principled man who dedicated his life to seeking to advance the cause of peace across the world”. He added: “On behalf of the people of Ireland, may I express my sympathies to President Carter’s children and extended family, to President Joe Biden, to the people of the United States, and to his wide circle of colleagues and friends across the globe.” Mr Carter is expected to receive a state funeral featuring public observances in Atlanta and Washington DC before being buried in his home town of Plains, Georgia. A moderate democrat born in Plains in October 1924, Mr Carter’s political career took him from the Georgia state senate to the state governorship and finally, the White House, where he took office as the 39th president. His presidency saw economic disruption amid volatile oil prices, along with social tensions at home and challenges abroad including the Iranian revolution that sparked a 444-day hostage crisis at the US embassy in Tehran. But he also brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, which led to a peace treaty between the two countries in 1979. After his defeat in the 1980 presidential election, he worked for more than four decades leading the Carter Centre, which he and his late wife Rosalynn co-founded in 1982 to “wage peace, fight disease, and build hope”. Under his leadership, the Carter Center managed to virtually eliminate Guinea Worm disease, which has gone from affecting 3.5 million people in Africa and Asia in 1986 to just 14 in 2023. Mrs Carter, who died last year aged 96, had played a more active role in her husband’s presidency than previous first ladies, with Mr Carter saying she had been “my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished”. Earlier this year, on his 100th birthday, Mr Carter received a private congratulatory message from the King, expressing admiration for his life of public service.

Former U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Florida, said on Friday that he does not intend to return to Congress after he resigned to become President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general nominee. Gaetz withdrew from consideration on Thursday as several Republican senators reportedly were not planning to vote to confirm his nomination. His nomination was potentially headed toward failure as senators raised concerns after the House Ethics Committee's findings into alleged sexual misconduct by Gaetz were not released to the public. The House Ethics Committee could have potentially released its findings, but Gaetz ended up leaving the House days before the committee's planned vote. After he resigned from Congress, Speaker Mike Johnson said the report and the committee's findings should not be made public. RELATED STORY | Matt Gaetz says he's removing his name for consideration for attorney general After Gaetz withdrew his nomination, there was speculation on whether Gaetz would attempt to return to Congress as he was reelected to the House earlier this month. Speaking to Charlie Kirk on Friday, he put an end to that speculation. "I'm still gonna be in the fight, but it's going to be from a new perch. I do not intend to join the 119th Congress," he said. "There are a number of fantastic Floridians who have stepped up to run for my seat." Gaetz said he has other goals in life after spending 16 years in elected office. "I am going to be fighting for President Trump," he said. "I am going to do whatever he asks of me, I always have. I think eight years is enough time in the United States Congress." Hours after Gaetz's announcement, Trump said that he would nominate former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to be his nominee. Gaetz's seat will be filled following a special election.Staying sharp: Study explores how brain changes may affect financial skills December 16, 2024 Binghamton University A new article sheds light on how age-related changes may affect the way we handle finances -- and how we can stay sharp as we age. Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email Senior citizens are targeted by financial scams of all types, from email-based phishing attempts to callers looking to swindle their life savings. A new paper from Binghamton University Associate Professor of Psychology Ian M. McDonough sheds light on how age-related changes may affect the way we handle finances -- and how we can stay sharp as we age. "Separating neurocognitive mechanisms of maintenance and compensation to support financial ability in middle-aged and older adults: The role of language and the inferior frontal gyrus," co-authored by Macarena Suárez-Pellicioni of the University of Alabama, was recently published in the Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics. The study focused on cognitively healthy adults ages 50 to 74, using MRI scans to measure brain structure and functional connectivity; study participants also engaged in simple financial tasks, such as balancing a checkbook or making change. Financial tasks rely on multiple cognitive domains, including memory, executive functioning and numerical ability; aging can prompt subtle decline in all of these areas. Earlier research that dealt with financial management and Alzheimer's-related brain decline focused on the parietal cortex, the part of the brain involved in attention and simulating possible future outcomes, McDonough said. Little attention has been paid to the brain regions connected specifically with math processing, outside of the development of these regions in children. Mathematics involves two different brain regions. One is the inferior frontal gyrus, which specifically deals with accessing math information contained in your memory. "If I ask, 'What's 3 plus 3?' you know it's six; you don't have to count 3 plus 3," McDonough explained. "You have memorized this because of rote learning and years and years of it being embedded in you." If you don't have a readily memorized answer and need to perform calculations, then your middle frontal gyrus kicks in. It uses more brainpower than memory and increases the possibility of error. "When people are doing the calculation, they're more likely to get it wrong. If you've memorized it, you've memorized the right answer," McDonough said. "You're faster, more efficient and more accurate when you have those verbal representations." The brain's prefrontal cortex shrinks as a part of normal aging; with Alzheimer's disease, the frontal cortex regions shrink even faster. As a result, individuals may start making more mistakes with financial tasks since their brains no longer rely on memorized answers and are instead recruiting different regions to compensate for deficiencies. "They are potential markers that could show people's increased vulnerability to scams," he said. "If we understand how the brain changes, this can inform interventions used to target these brain regions." Preserving independence Ultimately, successful financial management may rely more on language processing than sheer calculation. Individuals with better language skills were more likely to excel in financial tasks, the researchers found, likely because of increased connectivity between different parts of the brain. McDonough's research shows that higher household income and financial literacy -- both markers of socioeconomic status -- were the two main factors protecting against age-related declines in financial ability. Relying on memory requires that memories be developed in the first place, which is more likely in an environment where financial literacy is promoted. Financial education may help people retain sharp decision-making abilities on the money front. Maintaining verbal automatic representations for math -- essentially, practicing the math skills you learned in school -- may be helpful in supporting good financial management throughout life. Individuals and caregivers alike, however, also need to keep an eye out for cognitive declines that can make older adults more susceptible to financial scams and abuse. Financial tools, technologies and legal safeguards, such as power of attorney for automatic payment systems, can protect older adults while preserving their autonomy in decision-making. "Managing finances is so important to maintaining independence later in life," McDonough said. "We need to have interventions that can strengthen the brain and help keep people healthy when managing their finances." Story Source: Materials provided by Binghamton University .
