download lol646 The 39th President of the United States has died at 100. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution confirmed the news with a post on X, stating the son of the former president said his father had died around 3:40 p.m. ET in his Plains home. Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, died Sunday, Dec. 29, 2024, at 100 years old. Much has changed in the U.S. in the last 100 years, from the population boom to prohibition and the national debt. Carter lived through a third of all U.S. presidencies: nine before he was president, and seven since. When former President Jimmy Carter was born Oct. 1, 1924, the life expectancy for American males was 58. That was a hundred years ago, and a lot has changed in the century since Carter’s birth. Carter died Sunday, Dec. 29, in his hometown of Plains, Georgia, after entering hospice care Feb. 18, 2023. He was 100 years old – the longest-living president in U.S. history. Here’s what else has changed since the 39th president was born: The U.S. population has tripled. The U.S. has about 331 million residents now; there were about 114 million in 1924 and 220 million when Carter took office in 1977. The world population has quadrupled, from about 1.9 billion to 8.02 billion. It had already more than doubled to 4.36 billion by the time Carter became president.

The tiny south Georgia town comprised fewer than 500 people in the 1920s and has 775 or so today, with much of the local economy revolving around its most famous residents.

Sears Roebuck Gladstone’s three-bedroom model went for $2,025 — slightly less than the average worker’s annual income. As of May 2024, the median price for buying a home in the U.S. was roughly $400,000. According to USA Today , the average U.S. annual salary at the end of 2023 was $59,384. Walmart didn’t exist, but locally-owned general stores served the same purpose. Ballpark prices: loaf of bread, 9 cents; gallon of milk, 54 cents; gallon of gas, 11 cents. Today, those items would cost you, on average, $2, $3.89 and $3.43, respectively. Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter shaking hands w/ children at Indonesian elections June 5-9, 1999. (Credit: The Carter Center) Inflation and spiking gas prices, incidentally, helped drive Carter from office, though the average gallon in 1980, Carter’s last full year, was $2.66 when adjusted for inflation. When Carter was born , the stock market was just beginning a rapid rise that led to the 1929 crash. Prohibition had been in effect for four years when Carter was born and wouldn’t be lifted until he was 9 years old. The Carters were never prodigious drinkers, famously serving only wine at state dinners.

News sources at the time reported that the presidential sibling snagged a $50,000 annual licensing fee from one brewer. That would be about $215,000 in 2019, measured by consumer price index inflation. The president’s annual salary at the time was $200,000. The average retail price for a six-pack of beer during Jimmy Carter’s first year in office was $2.65. It’s about $9 today. All but two presidents since 1900 have contributed to the national debt, according to USA Today . The Times Square debt clock didn’t debut until Carter was in his early 60s and out of the White House. But for those counting America’s $34 trillion debt, Carter doesn’t merit much mention, even considering he served only one term. His cumulative debt: Less than $300 billion, leaving the total debt below $1 trillion. Carter is the only graduate of the United States Naval Academy to become commander in chief. He’s also the only military academy graduate president who wasn’t a wartime commander: West Point alumni Ulysses S. Grant and Dwight Eisenhower led U.S. military efforts in the Civil War and World War II, respectively. The first year the Naval Academy included women was 1976, when Carter was elected. Last November, a month after Carter reached 94, New Jersey’s Mikie Sherrill (Class of ’94) and Virginia’s Elaine Loria (Class of ’97) became the first women Naval Academy graduates elected to Congress.

ATLANTA (AP) — Even when grappling with a four-game losing streak and the uncertainty generated by quarterback Kirk Cousins’ eight interceptions and no touchdown passes in that span, there is some solace for the Atlanta Falcons. They play in the NFC South. There is more good news: The Falcons' next two opponents, the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Giants, are tied for the NFL's worst record at 2-11. Coach Raheem Morris says he is sticking with Cousins for next Monday night's game at Las Vegas. Sunday's 42-21 loss at Minnesota dropped Atlanta to 6-7, one game behind Tampa Bay in the NFC South. The Falcons hold the tiebreaker advantage over the Buccaneers, so if they can take advantage of their cushy closing stretch of games that also includes Washington and Carolina, they could salvage their season. “We’re right in this thing,” right guard Chris Lindstrom said Monday before acknowledging he is “obviously not happy or satisfied with where we’re at." Lindstrom said he maintains "the ultimate belief in what we’re doing and everything that we have going on and everything is still in front of us.” Cousins and the Falcons must solve their red-zone woes to maintain hopes of the team's first playoff appearance since 2017. The Falcons rank eighth in the NFL with 371 yards per game but only 19th with their average of 21.4 points thanks to their persistent problems inside the 20. Even the forgiving NFC South can't make up for the scoring problems caused by penalties, turnovers and other persistent breakdowns. “You can't live with it at all,” Morris said Monday when asked about Cousins' recent streak of interceptions. Even so, Cousins remains the starter as first-round draft pick Michael Penix Jr. awaits his opportunity. “It’s for sure Kirk is our quarterback but I have no hesitations about what our young man has been doing and how he has been preparing and the things he is ready to do,” Morris said. “So if that time ever came I would have a lot of confidence in what Mike is able to do, but Kirk is our quarterback. Kirk is the guy who is going to lead us.” With four sacks against the Vikings, the Falcons may have finally solved their longtime pass-rush woes. Atlanta had five sacks in a 17-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Dec. 1, giving the team back-to-back games with at least four sacks for the first time since 2019. Outside linebacker Arnold Ebiketie had one of Sunday's sacks, giving him four for the season. With nine sacks in the last two games, the Falcons have almost doubled their NFL-low total of 10 through their first 11 games. Even as the pass rush was productive, the Falcons' defense showed a sudden inability to prevent big plays through the air. Atlanta allowed four completions of more than 40 yards as Vikings receivers Jordan Addison and Justin Jefferson combined to catch five scoring passes from Sam Darnold, who did not throw an interception. Morris said the Vikings' strategy was to avoid cornerback A.J. Terrell, “making other people make plays, and we didn’t go out there and make them.” Running back Tyler Allgeier had nine carries for 63 yards and a touchdown. Even while Bijan Robinson continued to produce with 22 carries for 92 yards and a score, Allgeier re-emerged as a strong complement with his second-highest rushing total of the season. Cousins has an unhealthy ratio of 17 touchdown passes to 15 interceptions. “Kirk was the guy who led us to the 6-3 record,” Morris said. “We’ve got to find a way to get out of the funk. ... For us, it’s going to be his opportunity to go out and right the ship and he has earned it.” 142: Wide receiver Darnell Mooney set a career high with 142 yards on six catches. It was the third game this season Mooney has led the Falcons in receiving yards. Former Atlanta quarterback Desmond Ridder is expected to start for the Raiders on Monday night after Aidan O’Connell's knee injury in Sunday's 28-13 loss at Tampa Bay.

SISAK and JENNIFER PELTZ NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers urged a judge again Friday to throw out his hush money conviction, balking at the prosecution’s suggestion of preserving the verdict by treating the case the way some courts do when a defendant dies. They called the idea “absurd.” Related Articles National Politics | Trump wants to turn the clock on daylight saving time National Politics | Ruling by a conservative Supreme Court could help blue states resist Trump policies National Politics | A nonprofit leader, a social worker: Here are the stories of the people on Biden’s clemency list National Politics | Nancy Pelosi hospitalized after she ‘sustained an injury’ on official trip to Luxembourg National Politics | Veteran Daniel Penny, acquitted in NYC subway chokehold, will join Trump’s suite at football game The Manhattan district attorney’s office is asking Judge Juan M. Merchan to “pretend as if one of the assassination attempts against President Trump had been successful,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in a blistering 23-page response. In court papers made public Tuesday, District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office proposed an array of options for keeping the historic conviction on the books after Trump’s lawyers filed paperwork earlier this month asking for the case to be dismissed. They include freezing the case until Trump leaves office in 2029, agreeing that any future sentence won’t include jail time, or closing the case by noting he was convicted but that he wasn’t sentenced and his appeal wasn’t resolved because of presidential immunity. Trump lawyers Todd Blanche and Emil Bove reiterated Friday their position that the only acceptable option is overturning his conviction and dismissing his indictment, writing that anything less will interfere with the transition process and his ability to lead the country. The Manhattan district attorney’s office declined comment. It’s unclear how soon Merchan will decide. He could grant Trump’s request for dismissal, go with one of the prosecution’s suggestions, wait until a federal appeals court rules on Trump’s parallel effort to get the case moved out of state court, or choose some other option. In their response Friday, Blanche and Bove ripped each of the prosecution’s suggestions. Halting the case until Trump leaves office would force the incoming president to govern while facing the “ongoing threat” that he’ll be sentenced to imprisonment, fines or other punishment as soon as his term ends, Blanche and Bove wrote. Trump, a Republican, takes office Jan. 20. “To be clear, President Trump will never deviate from the public interest in response to these thuggish tactics,” the defense lawyers wrote. “However, the threat itself is unconstitutional.” The prosecution’s suggestion that Merchan could mitigate those concerns by promising not to sentence Trump to jail time on presidential immunity grounds is also a non-starter, Blanche and Bove wrote. The immunity statute requires dropping the case, not merely limiting sentencing options, they argued. Blanche and Bove, both of whom Trump has tabbed for high-ranking Justice Department positions, expressed outrage at the prosecution’s novel suggestion that Merchan borrow from Alabama and other states and treat the case as if Trump had died. Blanche and Bove accused prosecutors of ignoring New York precedent and attempting to “fabricate” a solution “based on an extremely troubling and irresponsible analogy between President Trump” who survived assassination attempts in Pennsylvania in July and Florida in September “and a hypothetical dead defendant.” Such an option normally comes into play when a defendant dies after being convicted but before appeals are exhausted. It is unclear whether it is viable under New York law, but prosecutors suggested that Merchan could innovate in what’s already a unique case. “This remedy would prevent defendant from being burdened during his presidency by an ongoing criminal proceeding,” prosecutors wrote in their filing this week. But at the same time, it wouldn’t “precipitously discard” the “meaningful fact that defendant was indicted and found guilty by a jury of his peers.” Prosecutors acknowledged that “presidential immunity requires accommodation” during Trump’s impending return to the White House but argued that his election to a second term should not upend the jury’s verdict, which came when he was out of office. Longstanding Justice Department policy says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution . Other world leaders don’t enjoy the same protection. For example, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on trial on corruption charges even as he leads that nation’s wars in Lebanon and Gaza . Trump has been fighting for months to reverse his May 30 conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records . Prosecutors said he fudged the documents to conceal a $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels to suppress her claim that they had sex a decade earlier, which Trump denies. In their filing Friday, Trump’s lawyers citing a social media post in which Sen. John Fetterman used profane language to criticize Trump’s hush money prosecution. The Pennsylvania Democrat suggested that Trump deserved a pardon, comparing his case to that of President Joe Biden’s pardoned son Hunter Biden, who had been convicted of tax and gun charges . “Weaponizing the judiciary for blatant, partisan gain diminishes the collective faith in our institutions and sows further division,” Fetterman wrote Wednesday on Truth Social. Trump’s hush money conviction was in state court, meaning a presidential pardon — issued by Biden or himself when he takes office — would not apply to the case. Presidential pardons only apply to federal crimes. Since the election, special counsel Jack Smith has ended his two federal cases , which pertained to Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss and allegations that he hoarded classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate. A separate state election interference case in Fulton County, Georgia, is largely on hold. Trump denies wrongdoing in all. Trump had been scheduled for sentencing in the hush money case in late November. But following Trump’s Nov. 5 election victory, Merchan halted proceedings and indefinitely postponed the former and future president’s sentencing so the defense and prosecution could weigh in on the future of the case. Merchan also delayed a decision on Trump’s prior bid to dismiss the case on immunity grounds. A dismissal would erase Trump’s conviction, sparing him the cloud of a criminal record and possible prison sentence. Trump is the first former president to be convicted of a crime and the first convicted criminal to be elected to the office.Socceroos hero Harry Souttar to miss 12 months with ‘devastating’ injury blow

's President was banned Monday from travelling abroad, the justice ministry said, less than a week after he plunged the country into chaos by briefly imposing . Yoon sent special forces and helicopters to parliament on the night of December 3 before lawmakers forced him to rescind the order by rejecting his decree. The unpopular leader narrowly survived an impeachment motion in parliament Saturday even as huge crowds braved freezing temperatures to call for his ouster. Despite remaining in office, a clutch of investigations has been closing in on Yoon and his close allies, including a probe for alleged insurrection. The ministry of justice confirmed on Monday that Yoon had become the first sitting South Korean president to be banned from leaving the country. A lawmaker was asked at a Monday parliamentary hearing whether Yoon had been banned from international travel. "Yes, that's right," replied Bae Sang-up, an immigration services commissioner at the ministry. Also under travel bans for their roles in last week's events are former defense minister Kim Yong-hyun -- currently in detention -- and ex-interior minister Lee Sang-min. General Park An-su, the officer in charge of the martial law operation, and defense counterintelligence commander Yeo In-hyung are also barred from leaving South Korea. Investigators hauled Park in for further questioning Monday, and Yonhap news agency reported that prosecutors had asked for a warrant for Kim's formal arrest. The impeachment push failed to pass after members of Yoon's own People Power Party (PPP) walked out of parliament, depriving it of the necessary two-thirds majority. The PPP says that in exchange, the 63-year-old Yoon has agreed to hand power to the prime minister and party chief, prompting howls of protest from the opposition. "This is an unlawful, unconstitutional act of a second insurrection and a second coup," Democratic Party floor leader Park Chan-dae said. Under South Korea's constitution, the president remains head of government and commander in chief of the army unless he or she is incapacitated, resigns or steps down. In such a case, power would then be handed to the prime minister on an interim basis until elections could be held. Claiming Yoon can remain in office but has delegated his powers to the prime minister and leader of his ruling PPP -- who is not an elected official -- is "a blatant constitutional violation with no legal basis", Park said. "Their attitude of placing themselves above the constitution mirrors that of insurrectionist Yoon Suk Yeol," he said. South Korea's ally the United States indicated it would still deal with Yoon but said it "will keep lines of communication open with all relevant parties". "President Yoon is the president of Korea, and the political process in Korea will play out, as it should, under Korea's laws and Korea's constitution," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters. The defense ministry confirmed Monday that the embattled Yoon still oversees the country's security apparatus, despite the apparent power vacuum in a country that remains technically at war with nuclear-armed North Korea. "Legally, (control of military forces) currently lies with the commander in chief," defense ministry spokesperson Jeon Ha-kyou said. Yoon has apologised for "anxiety and inconvenience" caused by his declaration of martial law but has not stepped down, saying instead he would entrust decisions about his fate to his party. He also said he would accept all political and legal responsibility for the martial law fiasco. There is no constitutional basis supporting the ruling party's claim that Yoon can stay in office but hand over his power to unelected party officials, said Kim Hae-won, a constitutional law professor at Pusan National University Law School. "It seems to resemble an unconstitutional soft coup," he told AFP. "If there are issues with the president, there are ways laid out in the constitution such as suspending the president from his duties, and then move on to proceedings set out in the constitution, such as impeachment," he said. The opposition has already said they would try again to impeach Yoon, with leader Lee Jae-myung saying another vote would be held Saturday.

The Ravens looked better defensively last week, but now Roquan Smith's injury is a concernDecember 9, 2024 This article has been reviewed according to Science X's editorial process and policies . Editors have highlightedthe following attributes while ensuring the content's credibility: fact-checked peer-reviewed publication trusted source proofread by Vienna University of Technology About 100 years ago, humanity learned to see with the help of electrons. In 1924, Louis de Broglie posited that—like light particles—electrons have wave properties. In 1927, the U.S. physicists Davisson and Germer provided experimental proof of this. A few years later, the engineers Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll built the first electron microscope, which was more powerful than any light microscope . Given that electron waves are diffracted by much smaller objects than photons, the optical resolution limit of light was surmounted, heralding a new era of microscopy. Combining two worlds: Quantum electron microscopy "Electron microscopy is a crazy, cool technique," Philipp Haslinger, Associate Professor at the TU Wien, says. "In principle, we could use it to look at the spike proteins of a virus or its DNA—at the level of atoms, the pixels of reality." Haslinger, a quantum optics specialist, deliberately says "could," because there is a catch: The electrons are typically so high in energy that they destroy sensitive samples. For this reason, biological processes cannot be observed "live" with electron microscopes. According to Haslinger, there is one possible solution: "Gaining more information from fewer electrons." In pursuit of this goal, his 11 member team uses "quantum electron microscopy," which combines classic electron microscopy with the newer world of photon -based quantum optics. Spooky imaging One of their possible ideas is based on a method going by the evocative name of "quantum ghost imaging" or Zou-Wang-Mandel effect . In this method, an entangled electron–photon pair generates the image of the object. This is how it works: first, an electron races through a translucent medium and "overtakes" the light there, "a bit like an airplane going supersonic," explains Haslinger. This creates a photon, which is taken to be entangled with the electron. While the electron travels towards the sample, the photon enters a camera detector. As the two are entangled, the photon can be used to measure whether the electron has hit the sample. If the detected photons can be space-resolved successfully, the image of the object can be constructed. At least, this is the theory behind the approach published in Quantum Science and Technology . "Several research groups around the world are working on establishing the first proof of this entanglement—and we are up in the front line," says Haslinger. In practice, the innovative ideas are fraught with technical challenges. The team first had to adjust the existing microscope. "Normally, electron microscopes are built completely sealed from light—but we drill holes in them so that photons can escape so as to be measured," says the physicist. Promising outlook for biology and materials science What is needed now is proof of principle that the method can generate electron–photon pairs. "In fact, it could happen any day now," hopes Haslinger. "We have already recorded a ghost image. So we were able to see with electrons what the photon 'saw.' Now we are looking for evidence of interference phenomena between the two particles. Finding this evidence would give us clear smoking-gun proof of entanglement." An established variant of ghost imaging that uses entangled photon–photon pairs has proven its worth when observing particularly light-sensitive objects. If Haslinger's plan works out, this sparing treatment of the sample could for the first time be combined with the high optical resolution of electrons. Such a development would open up promising applications, for example, in battery research: The molecular and atomic changes on the surfaces of materials during charging and discharging could be better observed and this would help to identify optimized materials. There might also be spectacular new insights in biology, such as observing proteins as they fold without their being broken during irradiation. "Watching life as it happens, that would be a dream," beams Haslinger. A good 20 years ago, as a young physics student, he attended lectures by Anton Zeilinger, who got him interested in quantum optics. Now he and his colleagues could bring a new quality to electron microscopy, the history of which began a century ago.

Ouma Health and Marani Health Join Forces to Revolutionize Maternity Care in Underserved Communities

NoneNewcastle have found their Tamika Upton replacement, with Wests Tigers star Botille Vette-Welsh set to join the club for the next three NRLW seasons. Just two weeks after agreeing to release the game's best player in Upton, the Knights have landed the best off-contract fullback on the market in Vette-Welsh. Newcastle could not confirm the contract when contacted, but AAP can reveal former NSW and Australia No.1 Vette-Welsh will join for the start of the 2025 season. The deal is viewed as a win for both the 28-year-old and the Knights, whose defence of back-to-back premierships ended in the semi-finals this year. At her best, Vette-Welsh is one of the premier fullbacks in the women's game, having previously played for NSW and Australia. She was also one of the Tigers' first signings on entry to the NRLW in 2023 and an inaugural co-captain, making a successful return from an ACL rupture. Vette-Welsh scored two tries and set up another two as the Tigers collected this year's wooden spoon, but she will give the Knights much-needed strike at the back. Her move will also ensure Newcastle have one of the NRLW's best spines, with Vette-Welsh joining English international Georgia Roache, rising star Jesse Southwell and Jillaroos hooker Olivia Higgins. Upton's exit from Newcastle was always likely to have wide-reaching ramifications across the NRLW. The Jillaroos fullback won three premierships at Brisbane between 2018 and 2020, before moving to Newcastle in 2022 and winning a further two titles there. But she requested a release from the Knights on personal grounds this season, desperate to return home to Queensland and closer to family. Upton signed a three-year deal to return to the Broncos this week, after a year that has included the loss of her grandfather and health issues for her grandmother. "I loved Newcastle and that was it for me. I was quite happy. Then my personal and family circumstances changed, which changed the ballpark," Upton told AAP this week. "Football was no longer the priority of mine. Getting back home was. And it was too hard to be able to do my football with everything going on at home. "My family never put pressure on me, they always want me to chase my dreams. But you don't get a second chance to spend time with your family." Meanwhile, Vette-Welsh's move means the Tigers are now another club in search of a fullback after losing one of their biggest names. Canberra are also in the market for a No.1 after losing Apii Nicholls, who will return to the Warriors in 2025 in their comeback to the competition. Canterbury are also yet to land a specialist fullback on their entry to the NRLW next year.
