The Italian authorities announced that the bidder for the acquisition of the historic Piaggio Aviation is Turkish Baykar Turkey is proceeding apace in expanding its war industry and even investing very significant capital not only within the country but now in Europe. A short while ago the Italian authorities announced that after the bidding process the historic Italian Piaggio Aviation industry is passing into the hands of Ankara. The Turkish Baykar’s bid was in fact, according to initial reports, the best of a number of bids and the relevant signatures will be signed soon. Baykar is currently one of the largest manufacturer of drones in the world and is making its first acquisition of a European company and one with more than 140 years of history. According to Italian media, Baykar does not intend to stop production of the company’s Italian products but with the acquisition will continue to promote under its own umbrella the P.180 Avanti which have been nicknamed the “ Ferrari of the skies “. With this acquisition, Turkey gains access to advanced aircraft engines further strengthening its own position in production. It is worth noting that in 2023, Baykar was among the 10 most important companies in Turkey in terms of exports with an export volume reaching $1.8 billion. Baykar’s size is not only important for the wider European region but also for the other side of the Atlantic as today the Turkish company has market shares three times larger even than its American counterparts.

One thing is certain: stocks can disappear quickly, so it’s essential to grab the best bargains while you can. If you’re in the market for high-performance storage solutions, look no further than the Samsung T7 Portable SSD and the Samsung T7 Shield. Both models are on sale, offering impressive capabilities that make them stand out in the crowded external storage market. T7 Standard: Speed and Cheap The Samsung T7 Portable 2TB SSD is currently available for $139 on Amazon, down from its original price of $269 (48% off). This 2TB external solid-state drive is designed for users who need fast and reliable storage solutions whether for gaming, work, or personal use. Speeds reach up to 1,050MB/s thanks to its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface and PCIe NVMe technology and allow for rapid data transfers. See T7 SSD at Amazon One of the key advantages of using an SSD over a traditional external hard drive (HDD) is speed : While HDDs rely on spinning disks to read and write data, SSDs like the T7 have no moving parts and result in quicker access times. Additionally, this model comes with AES 256-bit hardware encryption for added security which makes it a great choice for those who need to keep sensitive data safe. The Samsung T7 is compact and lightweight and weights just 58 grams and roughly the size of a credit card . This Samsung SSD is also compatible with a wide range of devices, including PCs, Macs, Android devices, and gaming consoles. T7 Shield: Rugged Performance for Adventurers On the other hand, the Samsung T7 Shield is also on sale at $149.99, reduced from $284.99 (47% off) even if it’s slightly more expensive than the T7. This model caters specifically to photographers, content creators and gamers who require a rugged storage solution that can withstand harsh environments . The T7 Shield offers similar impressive speeds of up to 1,050MB/s but adds an extra layer of durability with its IP65 rating for water and dust resistance. See T7 Shield at Amazon The design of the T7 Shield features a robust rubber exterior that provides protection against drops and enhances grip during use. It can survive drops from heights of up to 3 meters which makes it ideal for outdoor adventures or on-the-go professionals who need reliable storage that can handle bumps and scrapes. Like the T7, this model uses USB 3.2 Gen 2 technology and PCIe NVMe architecture for fast read and write speeds that facilitate quick file transfers. Both models share many similarities in terms of performance. However, the T7 Shield stands out with its rugged design tailored for users who often find themselves in demanding conditions, which is why it’s currently $10 more expensive. We would recommend going for this one, even if it’s slightly more expensive.

You can find parenting advice anywhere but there’s no better resource than TODAY. From parenting experts like Ms. Rachel and Dr. Becky to actor Taraji P. Henson and supermodel Ashley Graham, these parents know their stuff — and they’re happy to share their lessons with everyone else. Enjoy the best parenting advice that was dished on TODAY in 2024. We all believe our children are the best people in the world, right? How we express that matters, according to developmental psychologist Aliza Pressman. “Confidence does not come from praise — it comes from competence and believing in yourself, so trusting yourself,” Pressman, the author of “The Five Principles of Parenting,” said during an April episode of , adding, “Praise is a separate thing.” Pressman said kids need to feel that a caregiver supports and “delights in them,” but this can be done without always raving about their accomplishments or lavishing loose praise like, “You’re brilliant and amazing.” Show “authentic” admiration for who kids are or what’s within their control, said Pressman. So, when your child paints a picture, instead of calling them “Picasso,” say, “Tell me about that. I love what you did with all those blue lines,’” said Pressman. Taraji P. Henson’s son is an adult, so she has seen and done it all in parenting. “My greatest accomplishment is being a mother — it’s not about you anymore, it’s about a whole other being that you have to sculpt and mold and I think I did a good job. He’s a good guy,” the former “Empire” star told in November. Although her son writes his own music, Henson said he’s not interested in being a celebrity. “I made sure that I kept our world very normal,” said Henson. “I wasn’t ‘Taraji the superstar,’ I was Taraji a mom. I was at the basketball games ... that’s all he saw. And I think he felt weird when I would be the celebrity. He’s like, ‘That’s just my mom. Why do you want a picture with her?’ But also, he was very proud.” “I want for my kids to be exactly who they were meant to be,” Hoda said during a Mother’s Day celebration in May, alongside her co-hosts. Hoda added, “It’s like, your kids are perfect seeds — put them in the soil and water them and let them grow. Don’t try to make them grow right or left. They’re here for a reason and I just don’t want to crowd that reason. I want them to go full bloom.” “This should be a national goal: no smartphones until high school,” Jonathan Haidt, a social psychologist, told in March. “You can say, ‘Oh, the phones are here to say’ but look — cars are here to stay but we don’t let 11 year olds drive them,” added Haidt, author of “The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness.” Social media affects boys and girls differently, said Haidt. Girls are more susceptible to social comparison, bullying, perfectionism and “eating disorder content,” said Haidt, adding that for boys, the lure is often pornography. Haidt suggested flip phones and smartwatches for kids who need to communicate with parents but aren’t ready for a smart phone. Supermodel Ashley Graham wants kids to feel beautiful on the inside. In June, Graham told that she dedicated her book “A Kids Book About Beauty,” to her 9-year-old self, explaining, “that’s really when I remember ... starting to feel insecure about my body and my looks.” She added, “I want every 9 year old to remember that it’s not about an exterior. It’s about an interior.” At home with her sons, twins , who turn 3 in January 2025 and , who turns 5 in January 2025, affirmations are routine. “We are really big about just screaming kind things around the house,” said Graham, adding, “So I am like, ‘I am kind!’ ‘I am brave!’” Do it often, she said, and “It sticks. It seeps in.” Graham explained, “When you talk well of yourself at home, your kids are going to talk well of themselves, too.” As a child, finance expert Mellody Hobson calculated the tip on her family’s restaurant bills. “I knew our light bill, our phone bill, I knew our rent, I knew we paid for water — things that most kids don’t know,” Hobson, who shares 11-year-old daughter Everest with husband George Lucas, told in October. Now, as the Co-CEO of Ariel Investments, Hobson said kids should learn about money “very early.” “I want this to be like learning a language,” said Hobson. When you become fluent in a language, it’s easier the younger you are.” Hobson added, “You could say to a small child, ‘Do you want a cupcake or a Barbie doll?’ and they’re assigning value to those things. And that’s the beginning.” There is always a window to teach — Hobson, the author of “Priceless Facts About Money,” said she explained how taxes work to her daughter, then 10, in the McDonald’s drive-thru line. Former preschool teacher , star of the popular YouTube channel “ ,” said parents of young kids should narrate your day to encourage speech. “The babies need to hear language,” Ms. Rachel, whose real name is Rachel Accurso, told in September. “Good morning,’ ‘I’m so happy to see you,’ ‘Let’s walk to the kitchen. Walk, walk, walk. I need some coffee ... we’re walking down the street. There’s a tree!” Accurso’s 6-year-old son Thomas inspired “Songs for the Littles.” He and Accurso couldn’t find the right resources, so she created her own educational channel. “Do nothing” when kids complain, said Becky Kennedy, a clinical psychologist and host of the “Good Inside with Dr. Becky” podcast. By doing “nothing,” Kennedy told in December, you’re choosing to not argue or get into a power struggle) with kids. Kennedy discovered this when one of her kids grumbled about their breakfast and the other accused her of not washing his sweatshirt. Instead of saying, “But you love waffles” and “You never asked me to wash it,” Kennedy sighed and said, “You wish the sweatshirt was clean.” “Here’s the thing about doing nothing,” Kennedy told TODAY.com, adding, “When I am doing ‘nothing’ on the outside — meaning, I’m not taking the bait from my kids — I am actually doing a lot on the inside: I’m breathing, talking to myself ... I’m regulating myself on the inside, so I can ‘do nothing’ on the outside.” Kennedy further explained, “In this state, parents have to choose between being effective over being right. If you want to be right, you might say, ‘You’ve had waffles the last 18 days.’ Being right is a solitary existence — if you’re right, someone is wrong ... and you’re adding fuel to their fire.” If it’s good enough for Jennifer Garner, it’s good enough for our kids too! “You don’t try to control everything they do,” Pat Garner, who is Jennifer Garner’s mom, told in June, when asked for her parenting advice. It’s advice that Jennifer took to heart while raising her children Violet, Seraphina and Samuel with ex-husband Ben Affleck. “I don’t know that I have some overarching philosophy,” Jennifer Garner told in November 2023. “I just think they’re such cool people and I want to hear everything, and I want to be around. But I also think it’s OK if they suffer from a little bit of benign neglect.” Jennifer added, “Their lives are their own. I’m not trying to live their life, and I don’t mind that they see that I love mine.” Elise Solé is a writer and editor who lives in Los Angeles and covers parenting for TODAY Parents.

ATLANTA (AP) — Jimmy Carter, the peanut farmer who won the presidency in the wake of the Watergate scandal and Vietnam War, endured humbling defeat after one tumultuous term and then redefined life after the White House as a global humanitarian, has died. He was 100 years old. FILE - Former President Jimmy Carter speaks on the eradication of the Guinea worm, Feb. 3, 2016, at the House of Lords in London. (Neil Hall/Pool Photo via AP, File) The longest-lived American president died on Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care, at his home in the small town of Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, Rosalynn, who died at 96 in November 2023, spent most of their lives, The Carter Center said. “Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia,” the center said in posting about his death on the social media platform X. It added in a statement that he died peacefully, surrounded by his family. Businessman, Navy officer, evangelist, politician, negotiator, author, woodworker, citizen of the world — Carter forged a path that still challenges political assumptions and stands out among the 45 men who reached the nation’s highest office. The 39th president leveraged his ambition with a keen intellect, deep religious faith and prodigious work ethic, conducting diplomatic missions into his 80s and building houses for the poor well into his 90s. “My faith demands — this is not optional — my faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can, with whatever I have to try to make a difference,” Carter once said. A president from Plains A moderate Democrat, Carter entered the 1976 presidential race as a little-known Georgia governor with a broad smile, outspoken Baptist mores and technocratic plans reflecting his education as an engineer. His no-frills campaign depended on public financing, and his promise not to deceive the American people resonated after Richard Nixon’s disgrace and U.S. defeat in southeast Asia. “If I ever lie to you, if I ever make a misleading statement, don’t vote for me. I would not deserve to be your president,” Carter repeated before narrowly beating Republican incumbent Gerald Ford, who had lost popularity pardoning Nixon. Carter governed amid Cold War pressures, turbulent oil markets and social upheaval over racism, women’s rights and America’s global role. His most acclaimed achievement in office was a Mideast peace deal that he brokered by keeping Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin at the bargaining table for 13 days in 1978. That Camp David experience inspired the post-presidential center where Carter would establish so much of his legacy. Yet Carter’s electoral coalition splintered under double-digit inflation, gasoline lines and the 444-day hostage crisis in Iran. His bleakest hour came when eight Americans died in a failed hostage rescue in April 1980, helping to ensure his landslide defeat to Republican Ronald Reagan. Carter acknowledged in his 2020 “White House Diary” that he could be “micromanaging” and “excessively autocratic,” complicating dealings with Congress and the federal bureaucracy. He also turned a cold shoulder to Washington’s news media and lobbyists, not fully appreciating their influence on his political fortunes. “It didn’t take us long to realize that the underestimation existed, but by that time we were not able to repair the mistake,” Carter told historians in 1982, suggesting that he had “an inherent incompatibility” with Washington insiders. Carter insisted his overall approach was sound and that he achieved his primary objectives — to “protect our nation’s security and interests peacefully” and “enhance human rights here and abroad” — even if he fell spectacularly short of a second term. And then, the world Ignominious defeat, though, allowed for renewal. The Carters founded The Carter Center in 1982 as a first-of-its-kind base of operations, asserting themselves as international peacemakers and champions of democracy, public health and human rights. “I was not interested in just building a museum or storing my White House records and memorabilia,” Carter wrote in a memoir published after his 90th birthday. “I wanted a place where we could work.” That work included easing nuclear tensions in North and South Korea, helping to avert a U.S. invasion of Haiti and negotiating cease-fires in Bosnia and Sudan. By 2022, The Carter Center had declared at least 113 elections in Latin America, Asia and Africa to be free or fraudulent. Recently, the center began monitoring U.S. elections as well. Carter’s stubborn self-assuredness and even self-righteousness proved effective once he was unencumbered by the Washington order, sometimes to the point of frustrating his successors. He went “where others are not treading,” he said, to places like Ethiopia, Liberia and North Korea, where he secured the release of an American who had wandered across the border in 2010. “I can say what I like. I can meet whom I want. I can take on projects that please me and reject the ones that don’t,” Carter said. He announced an arms-reduction-for-aid deal with North Korea without clearing the details with Bill Clinton’s White House. He openly criticized President George W. Bush for the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He also criticized America’s approach to Israel with his 2006 book “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid.” And he repeatedly countered U.S. administrations by insisting North Korea should be included in international affairs, a position that most aligned Carter with Republican President Donald Trump. Among the center’s many public health initiatives, Carter vowed to eradicate the guinea worm parasite during his lifetime, and nearly achieved it: Cases dropped from millions in the 1980s to nearly a handful. With hardhats and hammers, the Carters also built homes with Habitat for Humanity. The Nobel committee’s 2002 Peace Prize cites his “untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.” Carter should have won it alongside Sadat and Begin in 1978, the chairman added. Carter accepted the recognition saying there was more work to be done. “The world is now, in many ways, a more dangerous place,” he said. “The greater ease of travel and communication has not been matched by equal understanding and mutual respect.” ‘An epic American life’ Carter’s globetrotting took him to remote villages where he met little “Jimmy Carters,” so named by admiring parents. But he spent most of his days in the same one-story Plains house — expanded and guarded by Secret Service agents — where they lived before he became governor. He regularly taught Sunday School lessons at Maranatha Baptist Church until his mobility declined and the coronavirus pandemic raged. Those sessions drew visitors from around the world to the small sanctuary where Carter will receive his final send-off after a state funeral at Washington’s National Cathedral. The common assessment that he was a better ex-president than president rankled Carter and his allies. His prolific post-presidency gave him a brand above politics, particularly for Americans too young to witness him in office. But Carter also lived long enough to see biographers and historians reassess his White House years more generously. His record includes the deregulation of key industries, reduction of U.S. dependence on foreign oil, cautious management of the national debt and notable legislation on the environment, education and mental health. He focused on human rights in foreign policy, pressuring dictators to release thousands of political prisoners. He acknowledged America’s historical imperialism, pardoned Vietnam War draft evaders and relinquished control of the Panama Canal. He normalized relations with China. “I am not nominating Jimmy Carter for a place on Mount Rushmore,” Stuart Eizenstat, Carter’s domestic policy director, wrote in a 2018 book. “He was not a great president” but also not the “hapless and weak” caricature voters rejected in 1980, Eizenstat said. Rather, Carter was “good and productive” and “delivered results, many of which were realized only after he left office.” Madeleine Albright, a national security staffer for Carter and Clinton’s secretary of state, wrote in Eizenstat’s forward that Carter was “consequential and successful” and expressed hope that “perceptions will continue to evolve” about his presidency. “Our country was lucky to have him as our leader,” said Albright, who died in 2022. Jonathan Alter, who penned a comprehensive Carter biography published in 2020, said in an interview that Carter should be remembered for “an epic American life” spanning from a humble start in a home with no electricity or indoor plumbing through decades on the world stage across two centuries. “He will likely go down as one of the most misunderstood and underestimated figures in American history,” Alter told The Associated Press. A small-town start James Earl Carter Jr. was born Oct. 1, 1924, in Plains and spent his early years in nearby Archery. His family was a minority in the mostly Black community, decades before the civil rights movement played out at the dawn of Carter’s political career. Carter, who campaigned as a moderate on race relations but governed more progressively, talked often of the influence of his Black caregivers and playmates but also noted his advantages: His land-owning father sat atop Archery’s tenant-farming system and owned a main street grocery. His mother, Lillian, would become a staple of his political campaigns. Seeking to broaden his world beyond Plains and its population of fewer than 1,000 — then and now — Carter won an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy, graduating in 1946. That same year he married Rosalynn Smith, another Plains native, a decision he considered more important than any he made as head of state. She shared his desire to see the world, sacrificing college to support his Navy career. Carter climbed in rank to lieutenant, but then his father was diagnosed with cancer, so the submarine officer set aside his ambitions of admiralty and moved the family back to Plains. His decision angered Rosalynn, even as she dived into the peanut business alongside her husband. Carter again failed to talk with his wife before his first run for office — he later called it “inconceivable” not to have consulted her on such major life decisions — but this time, she was on board. “My wife is much more political,” Carter told the AP in 2021. He won a state Senate seat in 1962 but wasn’t long for the General Assembly and its back-slapping, deal-cutting ways. He ran for governor in 1966 — losing to arch-segregationist Lester Maddox — and then immediately focused on the next campaign. Carter had spoken out against church segregation as a Baptist deacon and opposed racist “Dixiecrats” as a state senator. Yet as a local school board leader in the 1950s he had not pushed to end school segregation even after the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision, despite his private support for integration. And in 1970, Carter ran for governor again as the more conservative Democrat against Carl Sanders, a wealthy businessman Carter mocked as “Cufflinks Carl.” Sanders never forgave him for anonymous, race-baiting flyers, which Carter disavowed. Ultimately, Carter won his races by attracting both Black voters and culturally conservative whites. Once in office, he was more direct. “I say to you quite frankly that the time for racial discrimination is over,” he declared in his 1971 inaugural address, setting a new standard for Southern governors that landed him on the cover of Time magazine. 'Jimmy Who?' His statehouse initiatives included environmental protection, boosting rural education and overhauling antiquated executive branch structures. He proclaimed Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the slain civil rights leader’s home state. And he decided, as he received presidential candidates in 1972, that they were no more talented than he was. In 1974, he ran Democrats’ national campaign arm. Then he declared his own candidacy for 1976. An Atlanta newspaper responded with the headline: “Jimmy Who?” The Carters and a “Peanut Brigade” of family members and Georgia supporters camped out in Iowa and New Hampshire, establishing both states as presidential proving grounds. His first Senate endorsement: a young first-termer from Delaware named Joe Biden. Yet it was Carter’s ability to navigate America’s complex racial and rural politics that cemented the nomination. He swept the Deep South that November, the last Democrat to do so, as many white Southerners shifted to Republicans in response to civil rights initiatives. A self-declared “born-again Christian,” Carter drew snickers by referring to Scripture in a Playboy magazine interview, saying he “had looked on many women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times.” The remarks gave Ford a new foothold and television comedians pounced — including NBC’s new “Saturday Night Live” show. But voters weary of cynicism in politics found it endearing. Carter chose Minnesota Sen. Walter “Fritz” Mondale as his running mate on a “Grits and Fritz” ticket. In office, he elevated the vice presidency and the first lady’s office. Mondale’s governing partnership was a model for influential successors Al Gore, Dick Cheney and Biden. Rosalynn Carter was one of the most involved presidential spouses in history, welcomed into Cabinet meetings and huddles with lawmakers and top aides. The Carters presided with uncommon informality: He used his nickname “Jimmy” even when taking the oath of office, carried his own luggage and tried to silence the Marine Band’s “Hail to the Chief.” They bought their clothes off the rack. Carter wore a cardigan for a White House address, urging Americans to conserve energy by turning down their thermostats. Amy, the youngest of four children, attended District of Columbia public school. Washington’s social and media elite scorned their style. But the larger concern was that “he hated politics,” according to Eizenstat, leaving him nowhere to turn politically once economic turmoil and foreign policy challenges took their toll. Accomplishments, and ‘malaise’ Carter partially deregulated the airline, railroad and trucking industries and established the departments of Education and Energy, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He designated millions of acres of Alaska as national parks or wildlife refuges. He appointed a then-record number of women and nonwhite people to federal posts. He never had a Supreme Court nomination, but he elevated civil rights attorney Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the nation’s second highest court, positioning her for a promotion in 1993. He appointed Paul Volker, the Federal Reserve chairman whose policies would help the economy boom in the 1980s — after Carter left office. He built on Nixon’s opening with China, and though he tolerated autocrats in Asia, pushed Latin America from dictatorships to democracy. But he couldn’t immediately tame inflation or the related energy crisis. And then came Iran. After he admitted the exiled Shah of Iran to the U.S. for medical treatment, the American Embassy in Tehran was overrun in 1979 by followers of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Negotiations to free the hostages broke down repeatedly ahead of the failed rescue attempt. The same year, Carter signed SALT II, the new strategic arms treaty with Leonid Brezhnev of the Soviet Union, only to pull it back, impose trade sanctions and order a U.S. boycott of the Moscow Olympics after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. Hoping to instill optimism, he delivered what the media dubbed his “malaise” speech, although he didn’t use that word. He declared the nation was suffering “a crisis of confidence.” By then, many Americans had lost confidence in the president, not themselves. Carter campaigned sparingly for reelection because of the hostage crisis, instead sending Rosalynn as Sen. Edward M. Kennedy challenged him for the Democratic nomination. Carter famously said he’d “kick his ass,” but was hobbled by Kennedy as Reagan rallied a broad coalition with “make America great again” appeals and asking voters whether they were “better off than you were four years ago.” Reagan further capitalized on Carter’s lecturing tone, eviscerating him in their lone fall debate with the quip: “There you go again.” Carter lost all but six states and Republicans rolled to a new Senate majority. Carter successfully negotiated the hostages’ freedom after the election, but in one final, bitter turn of events, Tehran waited until hours after Carter left office to let them walk free. 'A wonderful life' At 56, Carter returned to Georgia with “no idea what I would do with the rest of my life.” Four decades after launching The Carter Center, he still talked of unfinished business. “I thought when we got into politics we would have resolved everything,” Carter told the AP in 2021. “But it’s turned out to be much more long-lasting and insidious than I had thought it was. I think in general, the world itself is much more divided than in previous years.” Still, he affirmed what he said when he underwent treatment for a cancer diagnosis in his 10th decade of life. “I’m perfectly at ease with whatever comes,” he said in 2015. “I’ve had a wonderful life. I’ve had thousands of friends, I’ve had an exciting, adventurous and gratifying existence.”The best snowboard bindings to raise your game on the slopesThey investigated pandemic fraud, then earned thousands
