He was 100 years old. The Carter Center confirmed his death, saying he died peacefully at his home in Plains, surrounded by his family. He was the longest-lived president in U.S. history. Carter's last public appearance was at his late wife Rosalynn Carter's funeral on Nov. 29, 2023. He was also briefly seen watching a U.S. Navy flyover with F-18s and World War II planes on his 100th birthday. FOX 5 Atlanta has made the decision not to show a close-up photo of former President Jimmy Carter out of respect.

There, in the peanut capital of the world, the Carter family’s Baptist roots ran deep. Jimmy, as he liked to be called, was fond of the family business. But he grew to love the life of public service even more. Jimmy Carter on his peanut farm, Plains, Georgia, 1976.

While home, he became involved in community affairs, serving on the county school board, the hospital board and Georgia Planning Association. In 1962, amid the growing civil-rights movement, Carter was elected to the Georgia Senate. From there, it was on to a gubernatorial campaign in 1966. That attempt failed. But in 1971, Jimmy Carter became Georgia’s 76th governor. "I want to do a good job as governor, and I will do my best," he said at the time. From there, his political career flourished. In 1974, then-Gov. Carter announced his run for president. He won the Democratic Party nomination at the 1976 convention on the first ballot. On Nov. 2, 1976, Jimmy Carter, campaigning as a Washington outsider, defeated Republican incumbent Gerald Ford and won the White House.

There were some monumental highs during his time in office, such as the brokering of the Camp David accord between Egypt and Israel. "I kept Sadat in one cabin, Menachem Begin in another cabin, and I went back and forth between them ... to try to bring some resolution to the issues that divided the Israelis and Egyptians," Carter said. But his years in office were also beset by the energy crisis, inflation, high interest rates and the infamous "444 days" of the American hostage crisis in Iran. All the hostages were released on Carter’s last day as president, just as Ronald Reagan took office. After losing his bid for re-election, President Carter continued to champion human rights throughout the world. He founded The Carter Center in Atlanta to promote global health, democracy and human rights. "I wanted to figure out a way to do this, and The Carter Center was born from the answer to that question," he said.

After his presidency, Carter also became a strong advocate of Habitat for Humanity, solidifying his legacy as one of the country’s most productive former presidents. Over the years, he wrote more than two dozen books and continued efforts to promote worldwide peace by monitoring international elections and establishing various relief efforts. In 2015 came shattering news about his health. Carter candidly announced that he was battling liver and brain cancer. "Now I feel it’s in the hands of God, who I worship, and I’ll be prepared for anything that comes," he said. Extensive treatment followed, yet that did not stop Carter from doing what he did best: serving the people. He continued to lead Sunday School classes at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains and to help build Habitat for Humanity houses for those in need. Carter received many honors throughout his life. At the 2000 Democratic Convention, delegates rose to their feet in his honor. The USS Jimmy Carter, a nuclear-powered fast-attack submarine, was added to the Navy fleet.

"It is with a deep sense of gratitude I accept this prize." James Earl Carter considered life itself a prize and said he cherished every moment: "I’ve had a wonderful life. I’ve had thousands of friends, and I’ve had an adventurous and satisfying and gratifying existence."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. RIP

International Civil Aviation Day aims to raise global awareness of the importance of international civil aviation to the social and economic development of states, as well as ICAO’s unique role in fostering cooperation and establishing a global, rapid transit network for the benefit of all. With the adoption of Agenda 2030 by the UN and nations worldwide, a new era in global sustainable development has begun. In this context, the role of aviation as a key driver of global connectivity is more crucial than ever, aligning with the Chicago Convention’s objectives to view international flight as a fundamental enabler of global peace and prosperity. In 1996, the United Nations General Assembly declared 7 December to be International Civil Aviation Day. The day has been celebrated by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) since 7 December 1994, marking the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Convention on International Civil Aviation. Every five years, coinciding with ICAO anniversaries, the ICAO Council establishes a special theme for the celebration of International Civil Aviation Day. In the years between these anniversaries, the Council selects a single theme to cover the entire four-year period. The Council has decided that the theme for the period leading up to 2023 will be: ‘Advancing Innovation for Global Aviation Development.’ Aviation is a mode of transportation that enables people to travel quickly between locations. As technology continues to evolve, advancements in aviation must be implemented for the benefit of people worldwide. As a developing country, Myanmar allocates its budget to upgrading airports and aviation facilities, with the private sector also working to enhance aviation services for the public. The government’s aviation services include air traffic control, navigation, and airport services for international flights. As a result, government organizations are striving to provide better services and facilities for both domestic and international flights. In today’s technological era, everyone must enjoy fundamental human rights. No one has the authority to infringe upon the rights of others. People around the world must unite in solidarity, offering support to one another in overcoming challenges, particularly in the transportation sector. Myanmar, for its part, has always refrained from any destructive actions in aviation services and remains ready to assist other countries by providing aviation support for disaster relief. To date, Myanmar and its neighbouring countries continue to cooperate in maintaining aviation services for their people, contributing to the global development of aviation.

McLean, who was questioned about the Ottawa incident by reporters during an unrelated news conference Friday, refused to comment. “No comment. This is not about Jerry Daniels here,” he said. Pushed further, McLean said the organization is “hoping” to put out an official statement regarding the leadership change on Dec. 10. It is unclear whether Daniels’ removal is a permanent or temporary measure; multiple requests for comment to the organization’s communications team have gone unacknowledged and unanswered. Multiple sources have told the Daniels was involved in an altercation with at least one other Manitoba First Nation band councillor early Tuesday morning. Daniels was in Ottawa to attend the Assembly of First Nations special chief assembly, which unites Indigenous leaders from throughout the country. The altercation happened just blocks from the Rogers Centre, where the assembly began Tuesday. The Ottawa Police Service could not confirm the victim’s name, but said an ambulance was dispatched to the 1-100 block of York Street for reports of a “disturbance” just after 2:30 a.m. “We can advise that no charge has been laid and the call for service was related to an assault. The matter remains under investigation and as such, no further details will be released at this time,” a police spokesperson said Friday. The police service previously said one man was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Requests for comment to the leaders of several SCO member First Nations have either been declined or gone unanswered. Some of Manitoba’s other major Indigenous political organizations and the Assembly of First Nations also have not responded. Daniels, who was elected for a third term as grand chief in June, represents more than 87,000 people in 33 southern Manitoba First Nations. His organization is involved in a $200-million development project to transform the former Hudson’s Bay Co. building in downtown Winnipeg. Construction on the 655,000 square foot building is currently underway.
