Other risk factors for gastric cancer include long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), exposure to certain chemicals and toxins, and previous history of stomach surgery or radiation therapy. Chronic gastric conditions such as gastritis, gastric ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are also known to increase the risk of developing gastric cancer over time.Former U.S. president and Nobel Peace Prize winner Jimmy Carter died Sunday at the age of 100. Upon news of his death, political figures and heads of state from around the world gave praise to Carter, celebrating his faith and time both in office and afterwards. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau "Jimmy Carter’s legacy is one of compassion, kindness, empathy, and hard work," Trudeau wrote. "He served others both at home and around the world his entire life — and he loved doing it. He was always thoughtful and generous with his advice to me." U.S. President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden "Today, America and the world lost an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian,” the president and first lady wrote in a statement. “Over six decades, we had the honor 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." U.S. president-elect Donald Trump "While I strongly disagreed with him philosophically and politically, I also realized that he truly loved and respected our Country, and all it stands for," Trump wrote. "He worked hard to make America a better place, and for that I give him my highest respect. He was a truly good man and, of course, will be greatly missed. He was also very consequential, far more than most Presidents, after he left the Oval Office." U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer “I was very sorry to hear of President Carter's passing and I would like to pay tribute to his decades of selfless public service,” Starmer wrote. “His presidency will be remembered for the historic Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt, and it was that lifelong dedication to peace that saw him receive the Nobel Peace prize.” “President Jimmy Carter was a Nobel Peace Prize winner, peacemaker, lifelong humanitarian and a tireless worker for Habitat for Humanity,” Singh wrote. “He earned respect and admiration around the Globe for being a man whose actions matched his values.” NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh “President Jimmy Carter was a Nobel Peace Prize winner, peacemaker, lifelong humanitarian and a tireless worker for Habitat for Humanity,” Singh wrote. “He earned respect and admiration around the Globe for being a man whose actions matched his values.” Barack Obama, 44th U.S. president “Elected in the shadow of Watergate, Jimmy Carter promised voters that he would always tell the truth. And he did — advocating for the public good, consequences be damned,” Obama wrote. “He believed some things were more important than re-election — things like integrity, respect, and compassion. Because Jimmy Carter believed, as deeply as he believed anything, that we are all created in God’s image.” George W. Bush, 43rd U.S. president James Earl Carter, Jr., was a man of deeply held convictions. He was loyal to his family, his community, and his country. President Carter dignified the office. And his efforts to leave behind a better world didn’t end with the presidency. His work with Habitat for Humanity and the Carter Center set an example of service that will inspire Americans for generations."

While he may not have reached the same heights as his illustrious teammate, Nani's impact on the football world is undeniable.

Daughter fatally shot in Mahomet tweeted about alleged killer being outside houseEnzo Maresca has backed Manchester City to bounce back into Premier League title contention and said it is “just reality” that Chelsea are not in the hunt themselves. Maresca’s Blues host Fulham on Boxing Day lying second in the table, and are only four points adrift of leaders Liverpool, having played one match more. City have won the league for the past four seasons but they have been cast 12 points adrift of the summit following a miserable run which has seen them lose nine times in their previous 12 outings. This is the story of Enzo Maresca's @ChelseaFC 's revolution 📘 pic.twitter.com/uVNLYptsPh — Premier League (@premierleague) December 24, 2024 However, Maresca, who worked alongside Pep Guardiola at the Etihad, said: “Manchester City at the end will be there. They are in a moment that has never happened before. “Every time they play a game, they have an injury, and they don’t have enough players in this moment. And the ones they have are not 100 per cent because they have just come back from injury, so it is a very bad situation. “We are ahead of our expectations, in terms of the way we are playing, and the points we have, but the main focus is how we can improve the players and how we can improve the team.” Maresca, who has continually played down his side’s aspirations for glory, added: “It is not about the (title) pressure for the players or for the club or for me, it is just the reality. “I would like to have that kind of pressure and hopefully soon we can, but the reason why I said we are not there yet, is because the reality is that we are not.” Liverpool are ready to capitalise on City’s demise, while Arsenal, who are six points off top spot, are set to be without star man Bukayo Saka for a sustained period after he suffered a hamstring tear. Asked if it was Liverpool’s title to lose, Maresca said: “No, the reality says we are second at the halfway point, so the table does reflect the teams. “But Liverpool have done a fantastic job since the first day, and the squad has lived that kind of moment, winning a trophy, which is important. “Last year, when Liverpool faced Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final I saw the amount of finals that Liverpool players had played in, and the number of finals Chelsea players had played in, and there was a huge difference. So it shows the experience you need, but we are happy to be where we are.” Chelsea will continue to be without winger Mykhailo Mudryk after he returned a positive drugs test. The 23-year-old Ukrainian, who has not played for a month, was spotted ringside for compatriot Oleksandr Usyk’s heavyweight title victory over Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia at the weekend. “In this moment it is good that he can disconnect a little bit from the situation,” said Maresca. “The last time I spoke with him, we try to support him, and now we are just waiting.”
It would be rash to declare that the war is over, but the social justice warriors are undoubtedly in retreat. The woke campaign to dress up Christmas into its diverse, equitable and inclusive agenda has failed, just like every other assault on this most enduring annual festival in the course of the last 2,000 years. The share of Americans who agree there is a war on Christmas has fallen from 39 per cent in 2022 to 23 per cent today according to a recent YouGov survey. The attempts to politicise Christmas has failed. Roughly a fifth of Americans (21 per cent) say if Santa Claus was a registered voter he’d support the Republicans. The same proportion believe he’d vote Democrat. Christmas remains universally popular. It will be embraced everywhere from Damascus to Dubbo. Christmas will be celebrated in Perth, WA, with a forecast maximum of 25C and in Ontario, Canada with -4C temperatures. Those who have tried to remove the celebration from the calendar over the course of a hundred of years have only succeeded in making it stronger. Oliver Cromwell’s Puritan government passed a law banning Christmas, Easter and Whitsun in 1647. Traditional Christmas decorations, such as holly and ivy, were prohibited as remnants of paganism. Soldiers were ordered to enforce sobriety and discipline by ensuring businesses stayed open and that people refrained from celebrating. The bans were met with widespread disobedience. Riots and protests occurred in some towns, with people demanding the restoration of Christmas celebrations. Business owners, particularly innkeepers and merchants, resisted because Christmas was a money maker. In Massachusetts Bay Colony, the Puritans enacted a law in 1659 stating: “Whosoever shall be found observing any such day as Christmas or the like, either by forbearing labor, feasting, or any other way... shall pay for every such offence five shillings." The law was widely flouted and was revoked in 1684. Christmas was banned in Soviet Russia in 1929 as part of the Communist’s campaign for secularisation. In the mid-1930s, the Soviet government rebranded the Christmas Tree as Novogodnyaya Yolka (the New Year’s Tree) and Santa Claus as Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost) based on a Slavic folklore figure. He was portrayed as delivering gifts to children with the help of his granddaughter Snegurochka (Snow Maiden) and there were no Christian connotations. The Russian Orthodox Church continued to practice Christmas traditions clandestinely while many believers quietly observed these at home, attending secret church services or celebrating privately with family. Christmas, celebrated on January 7, was reinstated as a public holiday in 1991 after the collapse of Communism. In 2014, authorities in several Chinese cities began banning Christmas decorations in public schools. In 2018, the city of Langfang in Hebei Province prohibited Christmas-related displays, calling them a “Western religious festival”. Yet these and other recent attempts to limit western influence of Christmas have been undermined by the commercial benefits. A 2023 report by Straits Research found the export of Christmas decorations alone was worth $US 10 billion to the Chinese economy. The sociological argument for the survival of Christmas is compelling. Shared myths and feast days help strengthen the social fabric, reinforcing bonds through collective activities. The foundational sociologist Émile Durkheim made these the focus of his seminal work ‘The Elementary Forms of Religious Life’, published in 1912. He identified the importance of the myths, totems and corroborees that gave Aboriginal clans a sense of shared identity. The boundaries between religious and secular life are artificial in the sense that national myths, shared customs and public holidays have much the same sociological function as overt religious observance. For Christians, the Nativity story holds profound spiritual significance. It affirms the core Christian belief that Jesus is the Incarnation of God, fully divine and fully human. It signifies the arrival of God’s light into a world of darkness, bringing hope, peace, and joy to humanity. From a theological standpoint, the explanation for Christmas's endurance is bound to Christianity's survival. It has survived because it is grounded in reality and is not a human invention. However, the universal appeal of Christmas compared to other Christian festivals lies in its ability to adapt to cultural circumstances and changing times. It has become infused with pagan myths from Central Europe, the mid-winter festivals of old England and turbo-charged with the creative force of US popular culture. The songs sung by Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley are the ubiquitous soundtrack to the modern Christmas. The vast and expanding cannon of Christmas movies are as much part of the narrative as Charles Dickens 19th century novel ‘A Christmas Carol’. The morally confusing, illogical and incoherent ideology of woke was no match for the Christmas story with its grounding in the historical fact of the birth of the most influential figure in human history. The narrative evolved and adapted over the centuries to incorporate the stories that inspired our ancestors. It is still evolving in Australia where northern-hemisphere mid-winter rituals have been adapted for local conditions. Cold beer has replaced warm ale and log fires are substituted for a barbecue. New opportunities for bonding like the Boxing Day Test have been incorporated into the calendar. Christmas survives because of its all-encompassing charm, its ability to become many things to many people. It’s glad tidings of great joy extend not only to all men, but also to women wherever they sit on the LBGTQ spectrum and whatever the colour of their skin. Christmas, as Scrooge’s nephew put it in Dickens novel, is: “a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.” Woke could never compete with something as diverse, equitable and inclusive as that.

Some analysts believe that the move may be a calculated attempt to appeal to Western powers and gain support from the international community. By showing a willingness to engage with opposition groups, the Syrian government may be hoping to position itself as a more moderate and inclusive actor on the global stage.Jimmy Carter’s life in photos

The increase in the CPI can be primarily attributed to a rise in prices for food items, which saw a noticeable increase in November. This is largely due to a combination of factors such as adverse weather conditions affecting crop yields, transportation constraints, and fluctuations in demand. The prices of vegetables, fruits, and meat products were particularly affected, causing a noticeable impact on the overall CPI.
