jollibee 8 pcs Former US president Jimmy Carter has died aged 100. Mr 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. 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 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.” 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”. 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.Baker Lake, Nunavut, mayor resigns

has shown nothing but admiration for as he spoke about the potential face-off with the ‘Queen of the Palace’ at the upcoming PDC World Championship. Sherrock, set to battle Ryan Meikle in the first round next month, could have a thrilling encounter with last year’s finalist if she defeats the Englishman. The young darting sensation will join the fray in the second round, thanks to his ranking that exempts him from the initial matches. He recently broke his silence on the prospect of playing against Sherrock following the draw announcement. Having witnessed the draw, the champ paid homage to the trailblazer who made history in 2019 by becoming the first woman to win a match at the world championship, eventually making it to the third round. He reminisced how “it was incredible to watch” her performance when he was just 12, reports . In an interview with Sky Sports, the 17-year-old remarked: “If I do come across her, I don’t know what the crowd would be like. Against Fallon, it might be a bit different. I don’t think anyone really missed it [when Sherrock reached the third round]. It was incredible to watch.“ Almost one year after his own memorable adventure at the tournament, Littler has confessed he’s feeling the “buzz” and is eagerly ticking off the days until his return to Ally Pally. Speaking about the forthcoming match, he said: “Good luck to them both. It should be a really interesting game, because Ryan’s playing really good, and so is Fallon.” "It won’t be easy [against either of them]. No game will be easy this year, but it’ll be a tough test for both of them facing each other in the first round. Either way, I’m very confident, whoever wins. I just can’t wait to get on stage. Ever since the Worlds [last year] it has been crazy this is where it all started for me. The buzz is there, I can feel it.” After failing to make it past the initial stage in her previous three outings at the world championships, Sherrock is crossing her fingers for a stroke of luck the fourth time around next month to pave the way for a clash with the young prodigy. Sherrock took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share her thoughts after the draw: “So I now know I’ll be playing Ryan Meikle in round one at the @OfficialPDC World Championship,” she posted. “The winner will play a certain Mr Littler in round two. Can’t wait to play at the Palace again.” Come and join The Daily Star on , the social media site set up by ex-Twitter boss Jack Dorsey.

Let'sPresident Joe Biden acknowledged that he missed an opportunity to enhance his branding in the pandemic by not putting his name on relief checks, as his predecessor Donald Trump did. Biden's remarks came during a speech at the Brookings Institution where he defended his economic legacy. In the speech, Biden highlighted the country's strong economic indicators, such as low unemployment and growing infrastructure investments, while pointing out he had not sufficiently promoted these achievements during his tenure. He urged President-elect Trump to continue Democratic policies for economic stability. Biden also criticized Trump's suggested economic measures like tax cuts and tariffs, warning they could have detrimental impacts on the economy. He particularly opposed Project 2025, a proposal from the Heritage Foundation that calls for extensive restructuring of the federal government, urging Trump to dismiss it. (With inputs from agencies.)New Delhi: Indian stock markets began the week on a cautious note, with both the Sensex and Nifty 50 trading lower during the opening session on Monday. Weak global market trends weighed on investor sentiment. At the opening bell, the BSE Sensex dipped 61.17 points, or 0.08 per cent, to 78,637.90, while the Nifty 50 slipped 16.50 points, or 0.07 per cent, to 23,796.90. The lackluster performance reflects global market concerns influencing domestic indices. India’s Economic Growth OutlookMeanwhile, Deloitte offered a positive outlook for India’s economic growth. In a statement released on Sunday, the global consulting firm projected that the Indian economy would grow between 6.5 per cent and 6.8 per cent in the current fiscal year. For FY2026, the growth is expected to improve slightly, ranging between 6.7 per cent and 7.3 per cent, driven by strong domestic consumption. Market OutlookDr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services said, "As investors leave 2024 behind and look forward to the New Year there will be more concerns than confidence, at least in the early days of 2025. The biggest concern for stock markets, globally, is uncertainty surrounding Trump 2.0. The concern is that since market valuations are high any negative news might cause corrections. He further added, "The resilience of the US economy continues to surprise. The lower-than-expected jobless claims have pushed the US 10-year bond yield to 4.62%. This will be a headwind for stock markets globally and particularly for emerging markets where FIIs might continue to sell. Risk-free yield of 4.62% from the safest asset class in the world will continue to lure FIIs to sell in emerging markets like India and move the money to US bonds. In the recent market correction in India, IT and banking stocks have remained reasonably resilient, primarily due to their fair valuations. Investors should exercise caution as we move into the uncertainties of the New Year."

The Cornhuskers (4-1) are 3-0 at home and also won Friday at then-No. 14 Creighton, beating their in-state rivals on the road for the second straight time. But the last time they did that, in 2022, they followed that win with a 16-point loss at Indiana to open Big Ten Conference play. "Believe me, we've addressed a lot of things," Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg said. "A lot of people are saying some really positive things. You've got to find a way to put that behind you. I've liked how our team has responded and come back to work after that great win at Creighton." Brice Williams leads the Cornhuskers with 18.2 points per game and was one of five players in double figures against Creighton. Juwan Gary topped the list with 16. South Dakota (6-2) comes to town off a 112-50 home win Monday night over Randall, the third non-Division I school it has beat. The Coyotes' last game against a D1 opponent was Friday at Southern Indiana, resulting in a 92-83 loss.

"The schedule is very good and that should help us," third-year South Dakota coach Eric Peterson said before the season. "We have some good nonconference games that should help prepare us for the end of the season." Nebraska has held four of its opponents to 67 or fewer points, with Saint Mary's the only one to top that number in the Cornhuskers' lone loss. Opponents are shooting 38.1 percent this season. South Dakota shot below 40 percent in its two previous games before shooting 62 percent against Randall. Isaac Bruns, who scored 20 to lead South Dakota in the Randall game, paces the Coyotes with 12.9 points per game. --Field Level Media
