Sheinbaum’s plan to prevent violence against women: Monday’s mañanera recapped

Fabian Schar’s 87th-minute strike secured a point against the league leaders, with Newcastle twice having claimed the lead through Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon. However, while Howe was delighted with the quality of his side’s attacking play and the spirited way in which they battled back after falling behind in the second half, he felt three important calls did not go his side’s way. First, he was surprised that VAR did not instruct referee Andy Madley to look at the first-half incident that saw Virgil van Dijk angle his shoulder into Anthony Gordon’s face after the winger had fired a shot at Caoimhin Kelleher. Then, in the second half, Howe felt Newcastle should have had a penalty when Jarell Quansah appeared to bring down Isak in the box. And then, right at the end of the game, the Newcastle boss was frustrated at Madley’s decision to blow the final whistle just as looked as though the home side were launching a two-on-one break with Isak and Callum Wilson charging towards the Liverpool box. READ MORE : “I thought it was a penalty on Alex, but I haven’t seen a replay, that was just an initial thought,” said Howe, whose side delivered a much-improved display in the wake of Saturday’s attacking no-show at Selhurst Park. “I was surprised by the final whistle because I think we’d spent around two minutes on a free-kick in extra-time, so I was expecting seven minutes to be played. I think it was 5.15 when he’s blown, so that was a blow because it looked like we were in a good position. “Then, I think VAR looked at (the van Dijk on Gordon incident) and concluded nothing happened, so we have to accept it. I was surprised by it initially though.” Howe was nevertheless pleased with his side’s performance against the runway league leaders, even if he was left slightly frustrated that they were unable to claim all three points after leading on two separate occasions. “It’s mixed emotions,” he said. “Part of me feels we should have won it, a big part of me, but part of me is pleased we didn’t lose either because it was such a late goal for us. “Generally, I’m just pleased with the performance. There was much more attacking output, a much better feel about the team. There was much better energy, and it was a really good performance against, for me, the best team we’ve played so far this season in the Premier League. So, it was a big jump forward for us.”None( MENAFN - GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) CAPE COD, Mass., Dec. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When it comes to modern healthcare, technology is transforming the field of general dentistry, and Harris dental is leading the charge in delivering innovative, patient-focused care.

Elon Musk: Few willing to invest in Britain under Labour Government

Senate Outlook Dims For Bill Charities And Nonprofits Worry Could Be Used Against ThemFormer President Jimmy Carter, honored more widely for his humanitarian work around the globe after his presidency than for his White House tenure during a tumultuous time, has died. He was 100. "Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia," the Carter Center confirmed on Sunday. The Nobel Peace Prize-winner died at his home in Plains, Georgia, the Carter Center announced. In November 2023, his wife of 77 years, Rosalynn, also passed away in the modest house they built together in 1961, when he had taken over his father's peanut warehouse business and was only beginning to consider a political career. In February 2023, he had announced he was ending medical intervention and moving to hospice care. Jason Carter had visited his grandparents at the time of the announcement and said "They are at peace and – as always – their home is full of love," he posted on Twitter. At peace, perhaps, but still political: The former president vowed he wanted to cast a ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. After serving a single term in the White House, Jimmy Carter became one of the most durable figures in modern American politics. Evicted from the White House at age 56, he would hold the status of former president longer than anyone in U.S. history, and in 2019 he surpassed George H. W. Bush as the nation's oldest living ex-president. Carter remained remarkably active in charitable causes through a series of health challenges during his final years, including a bout with brain cancer in 2015. He was admitted to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta in November 2019 for a procedure to relieve pressure on his brain , a consequence of bleeding that followed a series of falls. A few months earlier, in May, he had undergone surgery after breaking his hip. In the White House from 1977 to 1981, Carter negotiated the landmark Camp David peace accords between Israel and Egypt, transferred the Panama Canal to Panamanian ownership, dramatically expanded public lands in Alaska and established formal diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China. But the 39th president governed at a time of soaring inflation and gasoline shortages, and his failure to secure the release of Americans held hostage by Iran helped cost him the second term he sought. “He’s never going to be ranked as a great president; he’s middling as a president,” said historian Douglas Brinkley, author of a 1998 book on Carter, "The Unfinished Presidency." “But as an American figure, he’s a giant.” After losing his reelection bid to Ronald Reagan, and until well into his 90s, Carter continued working as an observer of elections in developing countries, building houses through the nonprofit Habitat for Humanity and teaching Sunday school at the tiny Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia, his hometown. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, 22 years after he left the White House. "I can't deny that I was a better ex-president than I was a president," he said with a wry laugh at a breakfast with reporters in Washington in 2005. "My former boss was humiliated when he lost in 1980; he felt he let himself and the American people down," David Rubenstein, a young White House staffer for Carter who became founder of the Carlyle Group and a billionaire philanthropist, told USA TODAY in an interview in 2019. "For a long time, he was basically the symbol of a weak president and a terrible person. And today, 40-some years later, he's seen as a very incredible person who has had many good things he did, though he didn't get reelected," Rubenstein said. Peanut farms and nuclear subs James Earl Carter Jr. was born on Oct. 1, 1924, in Plains to Earl Carter, a peanut warehouser who had served in the Georgia Legislature, and “Miss Lillian” Carter, a registered nurse and formidable figure who joined the Peace Corps when she was in her 60s. He grew up on a peanut farm in Plains, then graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy. In the years after World War II, he served in the Navy's submarine service in the Atlantic and Pacific fleets. After doing graduate work in nuclear physics, he became a pioneer in the introduction of nuclear power in submarines. When his father died in 1953, Carter resigned his naval commission and took over operation of the family peanut farms with Rosalynn, his hometown sweetheart. After a rough early patch, the business flourished, and Carter became increasingly active in community affairs and politics. During two terms in the Georgia state Senate, he gained a reputation as an independent voice who attacked wasteful government practices and helped repeal laws designed to discourage Black Americans from voting. But in 1966, he lost a race for governor to segregationist Lester Maddox in an election that analysts said reflected a Southern backlash against national civil rights legislation enacted in 1964 and 1965. In a second bid for governor in 1970, Carter minimized his appearances before Black audiences and won endorsements from some segregationists. After he was elected, though, Carter declared that the era of segregation in Georgia was over, and he was hailed as a symbol of a new, more inclusive South. Still, he was an unlikely presidential contender. When he launched his bid for the 1976 Democratic nomination, the former one-term governor was so obscure outside the Peach State that “Jimmy who?” became a campaign trope. He perfected the meticulous cultivation of voters in Iowa, and his unexpected victory in the opening presidential caucuses there provided a launching pad that long-shot contenders tried to emulate for decades. The Watergate scandal boosted Carter's prospects. In the aftermath of President Richard Nixon’s decision to resign in 1974 rather than be impeached, Carter pitched himself to voters as an outsider who would reject Washington’s unsavory ways. “I’ll never lie to you,” he told them. In 1976, he narrowly defeated President Gerald Ford, whose campaign was damaged by verbal missteps and by controversy over his decision to pardon Nixon. Four years later, Carter would be ousted himself. He faced a damaging challenge for the Democratic nomination from the left by Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy and then a landslide defeat in the general election from the right by Reagan. The former California governor tapped into discontent with Carter’s leadership. “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” Reagan asked voters in the iconic closing of their only campaign debate. Presidential achievements eclipsed? Carter’s defenders argue that he was a better president than generally recognized. "I think that he is the most underappreciated modern president that we've had," said Stuart Eizenstat, a veteran Washington official and ambassador who was Carter’s chief domestic policy adviser in the White House. "The reason for that is the lingering memories of his presidency are negative ones – gasoline lines, high interest rates and inflation, the Iran hostage crisis, the Desert One failed rescue effort – and those totally obscure a really remarkable set of accomplishments both at home and abroad, which in many ways didn't materialize until after he left office." Eizenstat, author of "President Carter: The White House Years," published in 2018, said Carter's policies and appointments laid the groundwork for a stronger economy, energy independence, environmental protection, business innovation in transportation and more. On foreign policy, Carter painstakingly negotiated the 1978 Camp David Accords, a historic agreement between Israel's Menachem Begin and Egypt's Anwar Sadat that led to a formal peace treaty between the two countries the next year. Jimmy Carter: The media has been harder on Trump than predecessors But he stumbled when he came to the politics of the job. Despite having the advantage of a solidly Democratic Congress, many of his legislative proposals, including a consumer protection bill, stalled. The no-backroom-deals approach that helped him win the White House contributed to his difficulties in actually governing once he got there. He was mocked for charging members of Congress for their breakfast when invited to meet with him at the White House and for eliminating alcohol from most evening events. He was seen by some, then and later, as prickly and sanctimonious. Meanwhile, unemployment rose, interest rates for home mortgages climbed into double digits and Americans found themselves waiting in lines to buy gas in an oil crisis created by OPEC, the powerful international energy cartel. In a speech to the nation in July 1979, Carter described a “crisis of confidence" among the American people. Although he never said the word, it became short-handed as his “malaise” speech. "He lacked the political and managerial skills needed to make best use of the office he held," said Robert McClure, a political scientist at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. Damaged by the hostage crisis Most damaging of all was the Iranian hostage crisis. Carter had agreed to allow Iran's deposed shah, a former U.S. ally who was living in exile, to receive cancer treatment in the United States. In protest, Iranian Islamist radicals overran the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and took 52 Americans captive. The confrontation, which began on Nov. 4, 1979, would end only as Reagan was being inaugurated 444 days later. Carter chose diplomacy and economic sanctions over military action. He halted oil imports from Iran and froze Iranian assets in the U.S. He severed diplomatic relations with Iran and imposed a full economic embargo on the country. Finally, he approved a top-secret military mission to free the hostages, but it ended in catastrophe. Three helicopters developed engine trouble in a remote staging area in the Iranian desert, forcing the mission to be aborted. Eight U.S. troops were killed when a helicopter and a plane collided while forces were being withdrawn. It all added to the impression that Carter was out of his depth. "The hostage crisis left a bitter taste in voters' mouths, which Carter was never able to overcome," said Stephen Hess, a Brookings Institution scholar who worked on Carter's transition team when he was president-elect. On the day of Reagan's inauguration, Jan. 20, 1981, Iran agreed to accept $8 billion in frozen assets and a promise by the U.S. to lift trade sanctions in exchange for the release of the hostages. Minutes after Carter's successor took the oath of office, the hostages were freed. Finally, a Nobel Peace Prize Carter left the White House, but he didn’t retire. Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter established the Carter Center in Atlanta, their home base for decades as they worked on global health and democracy. He helped negotiate an end to the long civil war in Nicaragua between the Contra rebels and the Sandinistas. He met with North Korean leaders to try to end its nuclear weapons program. He mediated conflicts in Ethiopia, Liberia, Haiti, Bosnia, Sudan, Uganda and Venezuela. He led dozens of delegations of international observers to various countries to help assure elections were free and fair. For decades, the Carter Center also led an international campaign to eradicate Guinea worm disease, a devastating tropical ailment that in 1986 afflicted an estimated 3.5 million people in Africa and Asia. In 2020, it was on the verge of eradication; just 27 cases were reported in six African countries. For a week each year, the Carters volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, a charitable group that renovates and builds homes for poor people around the world. He also wrote more than 30 books – controversial ones on the Palestinian territories and the Middle East and less controversial ones on Christmas memories and fly-fishing. He published a collection of his poems and a collection of his paintings. Again and again, he returned to writing about the lessons and demands of his Christian faith. Poking at the president: Carter pokes fun at Trump in speech at Liberty University Carter, who attended Donald Trump's inauguration in 2017, at times criticized the 45th president. In June 2019, at a Carter Center conference in suburban Virginia, he questioned the legitimacy of Trump's election, citing allegations of Russian interference that were later called into question. Trump responded at a news conference by calling Carter a "nice man, terrible president." But there were also times when Carter reached out to Trump. On the 40th anniversary of the normalization of U.S.-China relations, in 2019, he sent Trump a letter offering advice on managing that relationship. Carter said the phone conversation that followed was the first time the two men had spoken. On hiring: Carter calls Trump's decision to hire Bolton 'a disaster for our country' Together for charity: 5 living ex-presidents to headline hurricane relief concert In 2002, Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize that supporters thought he had deserved years earlier, when it had been presented to Begin and Sadat. The Nobel committee honored Carter "for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights and to promote economic and social development." "The bond of our common humanity is stronger than the divisiveness of our fears and prejudices," Carter said in accepting the prestigious award. "God gives us the capacity for choice. We can choose to alleviate suffering. We can choose to work together for peace. We can make these changes – and we must." Friendly skies: Jimmy Carter shakes hands of every passenger on his flight When he left the White House, Carter moved back home to Plains. Unlike most other modern presidents, he didn't choose to make money by delivering high-priced speeches or serving on corporate boards. But he did regularly speak to hundreds of visitors who would gather for his Sunday school class at Maranatha Baptist Church. In November 2019, he told those gathered that he didn't fear death. "It's incompatible for any Christian not to believe in life after death," Carter, then 95, told them, although he acknowledged he had wrestled with doubts throughout his life. In his prayers, he said, "I didn't ask God to let me live, but I just asked God to give me a proper attitude toward death. And I found that I was absolutely and completely at ease with death." In July 2021, he and his wife hosted a 75th anniversary party in Plains attended by about 300 friends, family members and fellow pols, among them Bill and Hillary Clinton. Carter, his fragility apparent, made a point of greeting the guests at each table for what many of them assumed would be the last time they saw him. "He was not a self-promoter in the White House or afterwards, and I think that hurt, because it leaves all the sour tastes from the failures and didn't allow the positives to shine through," Eizenstat said. When Eizenstat visited Carter in Plains in 2018, Carter told his former aide he was comfortable with letting history judge. Historic photo: George H.W. Bush, George W. and Laura Bush, the Clintons, the Obamas and Melania Trump huddle for a picture As he approached his 90th birthday, Carter mused about his legacy in an interview with USA TODAY. "One is peace," he said. "I kept peace when I was president and I try to promote peace between other people and us, and between countries that were potentially at war, between Israel and Egypt for instance. And human rights. ... I think human rights and peace are the two things I'd like to be remembered for – as well as being a good grandfather." C ontributing: Richard Benedetto

Twisted light: The Edison bulb has purpose againUntil now, Ms Weinstein has been the US firm’s vice president and managing director in the UK and Ireland, having previously worked at Unilever. She said her focus will be on “unlocking AI-powered growth for everyone”, calling the current AI boom a “pivotal” time for the tech giant. Google has joined many of its rivals in launching a string of high-profile generative AI products in recent times, led by the firm’s generative AI-powered assistant, Gemini. “Europe, the Middle East and Africa is an amazingly diverse and varied region, but the enormous growth opportunity that AI can create is universal,” she said. “My focus will be on unlocking that AI-powered growth for everyone – users, businesses, partners and governments across every part of the region. “I’m excited to be stepping into this role at a pivotal time, in a company where I’ve spent the last ten years and leading a region where I’ve spent much of my life.” Google employs more than 29,000 people across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with 56 offices across 35 countries in those regions working on many of the firm’s largest products, including its search engine, the Android mobile operating system and its Chrome web browser. Its AI research arm, at Google DeepMind, is also led from London.

Another day, another round of drones and officials talking about them

South Korea’s decades-old democracy was put to the test on Tuesday when President Yoon Suk Yeol declared “emergency martial law,” suspending all political activity, ordering the country’s independent media to adhere to military control, and banning strikes and labor protests. Mr. Yoon tried to justify his stunning decision by claiming it was to protect the country from “North Korea’s communist forces” and the opposition-controlled national assembly, which he said had “become a monster that collapses the liberal democracy system.” But the real threat to South Korea’s democracy was Mr. Yoon’s brazen and likely unconstitutional attempt to subvert it. Fortunately, South Korea weathered the test, and its democracy emerged not only intact but also strengthened. At a time when democracy appears to be in retreat globally — and many Americans worry about its future in the United States — these events should reinvigorate faith that democratic institutions are resilient and people’s desire for freedom is universal. South Korean politicians from across the spectrum — including from the president’s own party — declared Mr. Yoon’s televised declaration wrong, and within hours, a quorum of lawmakers managed to forcibly enter the national assembly and vote to overturn it. Crowds also gathered in the early morning hours, defying the ban on political protests and demanding an end to the martial law decree. Under the South Korean constitution, the president was obliged to follow the will of the assembly. Mr. Yoon was forced to back down, announcing he was lifting his martial law decree. He must now also accept the consequences of his power play — which might include his own impeachment. The military appeared to yield to the elected representatives and the brave protesters on the streets, refusing to enforce Mr. Yoon’s martial law edict. Make no mistake: Despite the dire words in Mr. Yoon’s warning about “shameless pro-North Korean anti-state forces,” South Korea was facing no existential crisis. North Korea remains a continuous threat under erratic leader Kim Jong Un, who recently test-fired his military’s longest-range intercontinental ballistic missile to date, and has sent troops to help Russia in its war against Ukraine, giving them experience in modern combat. But there were no recent indications of any unusual troop movements or mobilizations that would have justified Mr. Yoon’s warning of any imminent threat from North Korea. Rather, the only threat was to Mr. Yoon’s presidency, and it was coming from his political opponents. In April legislative elections, Mr. Yoon and his People Power Party suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the liberal opposition, led by the Democratic Party and smaller parties that took 192 of 300 seats in the National Assembly. Mr. Yoon and the opposition-led assembly clashed bitterly over next year’s budget, and the opposition had launched corruption inquiries against several of his officials. Mr. Yoon has suffered from record unpopularity, with approval ratings only in the low- to mid-20s.Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk sparked controversy after expressing support for Germany’s far-right party in a prominent newspaper, just ahead of critical parliamentary elections in the country. His comments led to the resignation of the paper’s opinion editor, who stepped down in protest over the endorsement. Musk’s guest opinion piece for Welt am Sonntag —a sister publication of POLITICO owned by the Axel Springer Group — published in German over the weekend, was the second time this month he supported the Alternative for Germany, or AfD. “The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is the last spark of hope for this country,” Musk wrote in his translated commentary. He went on to say the far-right party “can lead the country into a future where economic prosperity, cultural integrity and technological innovation are not just wishes, but reality.” Shortly after the piece was published online, the editor of the opinion section, Eva Marie Kogel, wrote on X that she had submitted her resignation, with a link to the commentary. “Democracy and journalism thrive on freedom of expression. This includes dealing with polarising positions and classifying them journalistically,” the newspaper’s editor-in-chief designate Jan Philipp Burgard and Ulf Poschardt, who takes over as publisher on January 1, told Reuters . The Tesla Motors CEO also wrote that his investment in Germany gave him the right to comment on the country’s condition. The AfD is polling strongly, but its candidate for the top job, Alice Weidel, has no realistic chance of becoming chancellor because other parties refuse to work with the far-right party. An ally of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, the technology billionaire challenged in his opinion piece the party’s public image. “The portrayal of the AfD as right-wing extremist is clearly false, considering that Alice Weidel, the party’s leader, has a same-sex partner from Sri Lanka! Does that sound like Hitler to you? Please!” Musk’s commentary has led to a debate in German media over the boundaries of free speech, with the paper’s own opinion editor announcing her resignation, pointedly on Musk’s social media platform, X. “I always enjoyed leading the opinion section of WELT and WAMS. Today an article by Elon Musk appeared in Welt am Sonntag. I handed in my resignation yesterday after it went to print,” Eva Marie Kogel wrote. A critical article by the future editor-in-chief of the Welt group, Jan Philipp Burgard, accompanied Musk’s opinion piece. “Musk’s diagnosis is correct, but his therapeutic approach, that only the AfD can save Germany, is fatally wrong,” Burgard wrote. Responding to a request for comment from the German Press Agency, dpa, the current editor-in-chief of the Welt group, Ulf Poschardt, and Burgard — who is due to take over on Jan. 1 — said in a joint statement that the discussion over Musk’s piece was ”very insightful. Democracy and journalism thrive on freedom of expression.” “This will continue to determine the compass of the “world” in the future. We will develop “Die Welt” even more decisively as a forum for such debates,” they wrote to dpa.UNAM is the best university in Latin America in the world of science

Mayor Ken Sim says abolition of elected park board will mean $70M in savingsSaquon Barkley is officially within striking distance of Eric Dickerson’s all-time record for rushing yards in a single season, but it does not seem to be be the most important thing for him right now. The Philadelphia Eagles star Barkley rushed for another 167 yards on Sunday in a 41-7 victory over the Dallas Cowboys that officially clinched the NFC East division for Philly. The outing put Barkley at 2,005 rushing yards for the season and exactly 100 yards away from Dickerson’s all-time record of 2,105 set back in 1984. Barkley can now go for the record in the Eagles’ final game of the season next week against the New York Giants (though Philly sitting their starters for that game is a possibility with the division now all wrapped up). Speaking with reporters after Sunday’s game, Barkley was asked whether he was actively chasing Dickerson’s record. “I’m not overtly trying to get it,” said Barkley, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network . “I’m not scared of it. But we’ve got bigger things we’re focused on. Whether we play next week or rest, I’m fine with that. I didn’t sign here just to break a record. I want to do something special with the team.” The 13-3 Eagles are still mathematically in the mix for the No. 1 seed in the NFC and a first-round bye. But that is a very unlikely scenario as they still would need to win next week, have the 13-2 Detroit Lions lose twice, and have the 13-2 Minnesota Vikings lose this week. When it comes to the record, Dickerson recently made very clear that he is not rooting for Barkley to break it . Though Dickerson managed to do it in a 16-game season while Barkley gets a 17-game season, Dickerson had 379 carries when he broke the record while Barkley currently has just 345 (and is on pace for 367). Regardless though, the record is there for the taking if Barkley decides he wants to go for it rather than resting for the playoffs.

Former US President Jimmy Carter Dead at 100
