Jimmy Carter -- the 39th President of the United States, a renowned philanthropist and a Nobel Peace Prize winner -- has died. The news of his death was confirmed by his son, Jimmy Carter III also known as Chip to the Washington Post Sunday. In February 2023, it was revealed Carter was entering hospice care after being in and out of the hospital. His grandson also gave an update on the ex-Prez's condition, noting that Carter was no longer able to stay awake every day. His grandkid did say, however, that Carter was still able to crack jokes with his loved ones at his home in Plains, GA ... so it sounds like he was still in good spirits up until the end. President Biden said the former President asked him to deliver his eulogy. Carter's dealt with several health issues over the past few years, starting with a cancer diagnosis in 2015. He suffered a broken hip in May 2019, and that same year had a procedure to relieve pressure on his brain due to internal bleeding from recent falls. A Georgia man through and through, Carter's political career began as a Georgia State Senator in the '60s. He was elected Governor of the state in 1970 as a Democrat, and during his inauguration speech, he declared ... "The time of racial discrimination is over," adding, "No poor, rural, weak, or Black person should ever have to bear the additional burden of being deprived of the opportunity for an education, a job or simple justice." Carter's words came as a shock to many voters -- including segregationists who supported him -- especially after he ran a conservative campaign. Yet, it marked the beginning of Carter speaking out against racist politics. Near the end of his time as Governor, Carter announced his candidacy for U.S. President, and although he started out as a long shot ... he quickly became the Democratic front-runner and defeated President Gerald Ford in the 1976 election. His election came just weeks after Playboy published what became a very famous interview in which then-candidate Carter admitted, "I've looked on a lot of women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times." While the remark was considered controversial at the time, it's certainly tame compared to what we now tend to know about politicians' private lives. In any event, Carter took office in 1977 and served one term as president. His tenure is remembered as a time of economic difficulty, as well as for the energy crisis -- however, he's also credited with brokering an historic peace agreement. In 1979, Carter brought Egyptian President Anwar el-Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin together at Camp David. They ended up signing a peace treaty that ended decades of war, and made Egypt the first Arab state to recognize Israel. His final year in office was marred by the Iran hostage crisis ... which contributed to Ronald Reagan beating him in the 1980 election. After losing to Reagan, Carter remained very active in the public eye and diplomacy. He founded his famed Carter Center in Atlanta in 1982 to advance human rights and alleviate human suffering ... which led to him being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his work. Carter and his late wife, Rosalynn , were also well-known for their work with Habitat for Humanity. Couple more fun facts -- Carter served in the Navy, which is where he met Rosalynn. They wed in 1946 and were the longest-married presidential couple ... more than 77 years! Jimmy was also the first U.S. president to be born in a hospital ... of course, it was a hospital in Plains, Georgia. Carter is survived by his 4 children and numerous grandchildren. Rosalynn predeceased the president ... passing away at age 96 in November 2023, days after entering hospice care. Rosalynn had been diagnosed with dementia, with the Carter Center confirming the diagnosis 6 months before her death. Despite his ailing health, Carter attended the former First Lady's funeral, wearing a blanket with her face on it at the time. He was 100. RIP1 jollibee chicken calories 。

Ramiro Enrique, Pedro Gallese lead Orlando City past Atlanta United 1-0 for trip to conference finalThailand has made substantial progress in reducing carbon emissions and has set a target to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, says the Department of Climate Change and Environment (DCCE). Phirun Saiyasitpanich, DCCE director-general, said Thailand, as a party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), recently submitted its First Biennial Transparency Report (BTR1) to the UNFCCC secretariat. The report outlines Thailand's progress in combating climate change, highlighting actions taken to meet global climate commitments and enabling access to technology, expertise, and international funding. Thailand, the report said, emitted 278,039.73 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (ktCO2eq) of greenhouse gases, including emissions from forestry and land use, and 385,941.14 ktCO2eq excluding these sectors. The country reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 60.33 MtCO2eq in 2021 and 65.23 MtCO2eq in 2022, aligning with its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Thailand has achieved 30.4% of its NDC target compared to business-as-usual (BAU) projections, as stipulated under Article 4 of the Paris Agreement. Mr Phirun emphasised the need to raise this target to 40% in the near future to mitigate the risks of global warming. In a significant milestone, Thailand transferred 1,916 tCO2eq of international carbon credits, marking its first year of such transfers. The report also highlighted pilot projects in six fields across six provinces to combat climate change. To date, Thailand has received USD $1.1 billion (38.6 billion baht) in international financial support to develop and distribute climate-related technologies. To achieve its 2050 carbon neutrality goal and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2065, Thailand must address emissions from key sectors such as energy, transport, industry, and agriculture.Providing round-the-clock energy, using minimal space and considered a clean source of power — geothermal energy seems like an ideal option for countries like Indonesia and the Philippines, where the potential is high, and governments are seeking to transition away from highly polluting fossil fuels. Yet most of the potential of geothermal energy, created by harnessing heat produced by the earth from underground reservoirs of hot water to power turbines that generate electricity, remains untapped in these countries and across the world — as financial, regulatory and community roadblocks have stalled growth. More readily available financing and domestic regulatory changes are starting to address these barriers, but experts say more should be done to unlock the vast clean energy source trapped just beneath the Earth’s surface. Countries with high geothermal potential — such as the United States, Indonesia and the Philippines — are usually located close to tectonically active regions where hot water or steam is naturally carried to the Earth’s surface through volcanic activity, or can be accessed by shallow drilling. “We’re essentially standing on our own sun, which we can get clean, reliable energy from,” said Marit Brommer, CEO of the International Geothermal Association based in Germany. Experts also laud geothermal plants for their ability to operate continuously to meet the minimum level of power demanded around-the-clock, unaffected by weather, with long lifespans and minimal maintenance. As countries shift towards renewable and cleaner energy, geothermal use is expected to grow: In Southeast Asia, geothermal power generation is expected to increase tenfold from 2020 to 2050, reaching 276 million megawatt-hours, according to the International Energy Agency. With their steaming volcanoes and bubbling lakes, Indonesia and the Philippines — two archipelagic Southeast Asian countries located on the seismically active “Ring of Fire” — are the second and third-largest users of geothermal energy in the world, with some of the highest geothermal energy potential. The U.S. is number one. Yet Indonesia uses less a tenth of its gargantuan reserves, making up 6% of its power supply. In the Philippines, about 8% of geothermal capacity has been developed, constituting 14.6% of the country's energy use, the country's largest source of renewable energy. Both countries plan to expand use of geothermal energy as they transition away from fossil fuels: Indonesia aims to increase the share of geothermal power generation by at least 8% by 2030, making it the second-largest renewable energy source after hydropower. The Philippine government is targeting several projects to boost geothermal capacity by adding nearly 1.5 gigawatts, nearly doubling its current use. But the exploratory stage of geothermal development — when companies do tests and drilling to confirm the size, temperature, pressure, and potential production rates of sites — is expensive and risky. That makes it hard to attract finance for development, said Shigeru Yamamura, an energy specialist at the Asia Development Bank. “That’s the most difficult part of developers, because (financially) they cannot take 100% of the exploration risk themselves,” Yamamura told The Associated Press. Climate finance for geothermal development is limited for most Southeast Asian nations, accounting for only 9% of finance available for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations — a political and economic bloc of ten states in the region, which includes Indonesia and the Philippines. A 2024 ASEAN energy report said “blended finance” using both public and private sources, grants and green bonds could help bridge the gap. The Philippine government has announced green energy auction schemes for geothermal energy and is preparing a “smart green grid plan” that prioritizes renewable energy — vital to enable private developers to get financing from banks. This signals progress in policy support for investment, Yamamura said. Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has focused on geothermal as part of the country's energy transition. The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources says it's working to shorten permitting times and considering ways to increase rates of return on investments in geothermal projects. The state electric utility, Perusahaan Listrik Negara, also said it's committed to ramping up geothermal energy development. The World Bank is providing a $150 million loan to scale up Indonesian investments in geothermal energy by reducing the risks of early-stage exploration. The Green Climate Fund and the Clean Technology Fund are providing a $127.5 million. Even when finance is secured, community pushback can slow development. In Indonesia, residents of villages have protested projects, citing safety and environmental concerns: Several geothermal sites in Indonesia have had deadly gas leaks in the past five years. Some Indonesian communities don't understand what geothermal energy is and how they could benefit from its development, said Timothy Ravis, a doctoral student in global development at Cornell University. Protests at geothermal sites in the Philippines have led at least one company to pay royalties to Indigenous groups worried about land degradation caused by geothermal development. Governments and businesses should work to gain the consent of communities near projects to help ensure they succeed, said Brommer. “We need to show that this development benefits all people, not just a company,” she said. “It's not about being a good neighbor, it's about being the best neighbor and really working with communities to respect their concerns."WORTHINGTON — Happy New Year! It may be hard to believe, but we are one-quarter of the way through the 21st century. Do you remember all the hullabaloo that accompanied the change of the millennium? A lot of the concern revolved around technology. In the early years of computing, programmers created a shortcut for calculating days and years. Unfortunately, that shortcut meant many computers and programs would not recognize the year 2000. They would make their calculations based on the year 1900. ADVERTISEMENT The fear as we approached the 21st century was that many systems that ran on computers would crash, possibly cutting off water, heat, electricity and other ‘necessary’ services. But gratefully, the fears did not come to fruition through the work of many computer engineers and programmers. There was great relief on Jan. 1, 2000, as we woke to find the power on, and almost everything was working fine. When we read the words of the Old Testament prophets, we encounter a similar pattern. The prophets, led by the Holy Spirit, announce that God will do a new thing. The people responded with denial and sometimes great fear. Will we have to change? Will we have to re-examine how we live and act toward one another and toward God? The short answer to both of those questions was “Yes.” However, the Hebrew people discovered that the changes God was asking them to make were not just necessary, but beneficial over time. They were better off than before they began. The first quarter of the 21st century has probably not turned out the way we thought it might. We still deal with technological change, some good, some not so good. Fears of cybercrime and terrorism still give us pause. Politicians still prey on our fears more than challenging or inspiring us to take risks. And some voices still raise the specter of a God of fire, brimstone and judgment. Yet, as we look over our history, we find we are better off than before, and God has been with us every moment, a comforting presence amid uncertainty. The good news we learn from scripture is that our future is not in fear, judgment, division and condemnation of others. The prophet Micah reminds us that God is not impressed when we try to bribe him with extravagant offerings of things such as money or sacrifices, or even our hard work. It is when we turn to God and show justice and kindness to the alien, the widow and the orphan. It is when we seek to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. It is when we share the extra coat and offer the loaf of bread. It is when, in the words of Micah, “we do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God” that we please God. As we embark on the second quarter of the 21st century, may we work to tear down the walls that divide us. May we strive to confront our fears with the assurances of God’s faithful leading and omnipotent hand. And may we carry this message of hope and trust in God’s guidance with us. ADVERTISEMENT May you know God’s presence and care this day and every day of the second quarter of the 21st century. Rev.

Disparities in EV charging provision risk drop-off in UK transition, study warnsChargers punch ticket to playoffs with easy win over Patriots

A number of shoppers around the UK have complained after finding Easter eggs on supermarket shelves in December. Easter Sunday is four months away, falling on April 20 in 2025 but some supermarkets already have seasonal stock out on their shelves. Chocolate eggs and hot cross buns have already been spotted for sale in shops including Morrisons, Tesco and Asda. As reported by Sky News , Gary Evans, 66, from Margate, shared a picture of Creme Eggs on display at his local Morrisons on Boxing Day. I’m a very liberal person but seeing Morrisons selling #Easter eggs right after #Christmas is where I draw the line 🥲 pic.twitter.com/RZR4gsvanx "I just think it's crazy that everything is so superficial and meaninglessly commercial... [there's] something quite frantic about it," he said. Meanwhile, Joseph Robinson, saw themed Kit-Kat and Kinder Surprise products at his local Morrisons in Stoke-on-Trent on Friday evening (December 27). He said: "It's funny as they've not even managed to shift the Christmas chocolates off the shelves yet and they're already stocking for Easter. "I wish that supermarkets weren't so blatantly consumerist-driven and would actually allow customers and staff a time to decompress during the Christmas period."

Jesus hasn’t even been born yet". Another added: "I’m a very liberal person but seeing Morrisons selling #Easter eggs right after #Christmas is where I draw the line". In an alternative view, marketing consultant Andrew Wallis, 54, admitted he was surprised to see Easter eggs in the Co-op in Kilgetty, Pembrokeshire. However, he added it also illustrates "forward-thinking" from big businesses. Recommended reading: He explained: "It made me reflect on how big brands are always thinking ahead and planning early. "My message to retailers would be: while planning ahead is important, it's also essential to be mindful of consumer sentiment. "Some might feel it's too early for seasonal products like this but others might see it as a sign of forward-thinking. Striking the right balance is key to keeping customers happy."Forrest's 30 lead N.C. A&T past North Carolina Central 85-72A set of new requirements proposed by the US Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office for Civil Rights could bring healthcare organizations up to par with modern cybersecurity practices. The proposal , posted to the Federal Register on Friday, includes requirements for multifactor authentication, data encryption and routine scans for vulnerabilities and breaches. It would also make the use of anti-malware protection mandatory for systems handling sensitive information, along with network segmentation, the implementation of separate controls for data backup and recovery, and yearly audits to check for compliance. HHS also shared a fact sheet outlining the proposal, which would update the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Security Rule. A 60-day public comment period is expected to open soon. In a press briefing, US deputy national security advisor for cyber and emerging technology Anne Neuberger said the plan would cost $9 billion in the first year to execute, and $6 billion over the subsequent four years, Reuters reports. The proposal comes in light of a marked increase in large-scale breaches over the past few years. Just this year, the healthcare industry was hit by multiple major cyberattacks, including hacks into Ascension and UnitedHealth systems that caused disruptions at hospitals, doctors’ offices and pharmacies. “From 2018-2023, reports of large breaches increased by 102 percent, and the number of individuals affected by such breaches increased by 1002 percent, primarily because of increases in hacking and ransomware attacks,” according to the Office for Civil Rights . “In 2023, over 167 million individuals were affected by large breaches — a new record.”
