ATLANTA (AP) — the peanut farmer who tried to restore virtue to the White House after the Watergate scandal and Vietnam War, then rebounded from a landslide defeat to become a global advocate of human rights and democracy, has died. . The Carter Center said the 39th president died Sunday afternoon, , at his home in Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, who died in November 2023, lived most of their lives. The center said he died peacefully, surrounded by his family. A moderate Democrat, as a little-known Georgia governor with a broad grin, effusive Baptist faith and technocratic plans for efficient government. His promise to never deceive the American people resonated after Richard Nixon’s disgrace and U.S. defeat in southeast Asia. “If I ever lie to you, if I ever make a misleading statement, don’t vote for me. I would not deserve to be your president,” Carter said. Carter’s victory over Republican Gerald Ford, whose fortunes fell after pardoning Nixon, came amid Cold War pressures, turbulent oil markets and social upheaval over race, women’s rights and America’s role in the world. His achievements included brokering Mideast peace by keeping Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin at Camp David for 13 days in 1978. But his coalition splintered under double-digit inflation and the 444-day hostage crisis in Iran. His negotiations ultimately brought all the hostages home alive, but in a final insult, Iran didn’t release them until the inauguration of Ronald Reagan, who had trounced him in the 1980 election. Humbled and back home in Georgia, Carter said his faith demanded that he keep doing whatever he could, for as long as he could, to try to make a difference. He and Rosalynn co-founded in 1982 and spent the next 40 years traveling the world as peacemakers, human rights advocates and champions of democracy and public health. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, Carter helped ease nuclear tensions in North and South Korea, avert a U.S. invasion of Haiti and and Sudan. By 2022, the center had monitored at least 113 elections around the world. Carter was determined to as one of many health initiatives. the Carters built homes with Habitat for Humanity. The common observation that he was better as an ex-president rankled Carter. His allies were pleased that he lived long enough to see biographers and historians and declare it more impactful than many understood at the time. Propelled in 1976 by voters in Iowa and then across the South, Carter ran a no-frills campaign. Americans were captivated by the earnest engineer, and while an election-year Playboy interview drew snickers when he said he “had looked on many women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times,” voters tired of political cynicism found it endearing. The first family set an informal tone in the White House, carrying their own luggage, trying to silence the Marine Band’s traditional “Hail to the Chief" and enrolling daughter, Amy, in public schools. Carter was lampooned for wearing a cardigan and urging Americans to turn down their thermostats. But Carter set the stage for an economic revival and sharply reduced America's dependence on foreign oil by deregulating the energy industry along with airlines, trains and trucking. He established the departments of Energy and Education, appointed record numbers of women and nonwhites to federal posts, preserved millions of acres of Alaskan wilderness and pardoned most Vietnam draft evaders. , he ended most support for military dictators and took on bribery by multinational corporations by signing the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. He persuaded the Senate to ratify the Panama Canal treaties and normalized relations with China, an outgrowth of Nixon’s outreach to Beijing. But crippling turns in foreign affairs took their toll. When OPEC hiked crude prices, making drivers line up for gasoline as inflation spiked to 11%, Carter tried to encourage Americans to overcome “a crisis of confidence.” Many voters lost confidence in Carter instead after the infamous address that media dubbed his “malaise" speech, even though he never used that word. After Carter reluctantly agreed to admit the exiled Shah of Iran to the U.S. for medical treatment, the American Embassy in Tehran was overrun in 1979. Negotiations to quickly free the hostages broke down, and then eight Americans died when a top-secret military rescue attempt failed. Carter also had to reverse course on the SALT II nuclear arms treaty after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979. Though historians would later credit Carter's diplomatic efforts for hastening the end of the Cold war, Republicans labeled his soft power weak. Reagan’s “make America great again” appeals resonated, and he beat Carter in all but six states. Born Oct. 1, 1924, James Earl Carter Jr. in 1946, the year he graduated from the Naval Academy. He brought his young family back to Plains after his father died, abandoning his Navy career, and . Carter reached the state Senate in 1962. After rural white and Black voters elected him governor in 1970, he drew national attention by declaring that “the time for racial discrimination is over.” Carter published more than 30 books and remained influential as his center turned its democracy advocacy onto U.S. politics, monitoring an audit of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results. After Carter said he felt “perfectly at ease with whatever comes.” “I’ve had a wonderful life,” “I’ve had thousands of friends, I’ve had an exciting, adventurous and gratifying existence.” ___ Contributors include former AP staffer Alex Sanz in Atlanta.

By Jason Pargin The mysterious black box in Pargin’s novel may contain something that triggers an American apocalypse, or, you know, it may just be nothing. Either way, what’s inside is the mystery propelling this provocative, rambunctious, comedic cultural rant of a novel that’s fueled by internet paranoia, conspiracy theories and outlandish action scenes. Abbott Coburn, a Lyft driver, reluctantly helps Ether get the black box to Washington, D.C. No peeking inside. No cellphones. A lot of cash. Socially awkward Abbott has spent most of his time online. Ether, on the other hand, lives off the grid. She’s determined, pragmatic and, despite what her name implies, far from soporific. A posse of eccentric characters chase them cross country, cheered on by a virtual torch-waving mob. ‘The Night We Lost Him’ By Laura Dave “We’ve been looking at this from the wrong angle,” says Nora in Dave’s latest touching family drama. Dave’s trademark emotional twists and compelling characters, caught in the aftermath of loss, are in fine form in this latest mystery. It’s the story of the Noone family patriarch’s death and the unanswered questions it raises for his ex-wives, business partners and rivals, as well as his two sons and daughter Nora. Liam Noone was the founder of a boutique hotel empire, a company that appears to be at the center of his mysterious death. He appeared to everyone to be “smart, eager, solid,” a man who always showed his family “the best version of himself.” But what were the other versions? The reader is privy to revelations in a parallel narrative from Liam’s past, but Nora and her estranged stepbrother are on their own. ‘Death at the Sanatorium’ By Ragnar Jónasson (translated by Victoria Cribb) Helgi Reykdal, one of the characters in Jónasson’s delightfully fiendish “Death at the Sanatorium,” is a collector of Golden Age mysteries, like those by Patrick Quentin and Agatha Christie. Set in Iceland, Jónasson’s slowly unfolding plot twists and his overly suspicious characters make for an engaging homage to those classics. The story opens in 1983 when Tinna, a new nurse at a sanatorium, finds the murdered body of the head nurse, then cuts back and forth to 2012, when Helgi is writing his dissertation on the 1983 murders. The novel is cleverly constructed around the perspective of the main characters from both time periods. But Tinna was my favorite. A delusional romantic, she enjoys “exaggerating her stories” because “life was easier if you tweaked the facts a little in your favor.” ‘Guide Me Home’ By Attica Locke Against the backdrop of America’s “fascism under the guise of a return to better days,” Locke’s remarkable ”Guide Me Home,” the final book in her moving Highway 59 trilogy, finds Darren Mathews no longer a Texas Ranger, which informed his identity as a Black Texan for most of his life. A choice he made years before haunts him, eventually sending him into a nihilistic funk where “managing his sense of doom” is “nearly a full-time job.” When a young Black woman goes missing from an all-white sorority, no one is concerned except Darren’s estranged mother. The investigation forces Mathews to consider that the “men who had raised him had deceived him his whole life.” This realization makes Mathews worry “his cynicism, home-brewed over the years of living in a culture of double-dealing and dishonesty, was clouding his judgment.”A DoorDash delivery driver took to social media to share how much she earned in a day, and people had a lot to say about tipping. Coralie James on the Facebook group detailing how much she makes as a food delivery driver. In the post, James asked group members to roast people who think Skip, Uber Eats, and DoorDash drivers “make sooo much money.” James explains that drivers are in charge of their own gas and that there’s no minimum wage or vehicle maintenance compensation. She added that DoorDash only pays drivers $2 to $4, leaving drivers to rely on tips. “Because let’s face it, the drivers are out there doing the driving for you so you can stay home and be comfortable,” she stated. James then urged people to tip their drivers like they’d tip their dog groomers, nail technicians, and hairstylists. The post includes screenshots of James’ earnings, which amounted to $183.28 after working for almost 10 hours, of which she was active for over six hours. Commenters were divided on the issue. However, others had a different take and had no issues with tipping their delivery drivers. “People that don’t tip shouldn’t use their service,” one person wrote. “Maybe this is the only job they have, and they can’t find another one.” “Thank you for allowing us to remain comfortable and warm in our homes while having lunch or supper delivered. Sincerely, a tipping customer,” wrote another. One person criticized other commenters, stating, “Check your damn entitlement, or don’t use service-based industries as your personal catering company.” Where do you stand on this issue? Whether you’re a food delivery driver or a customer, please share your thoughts in the comments or email us at .Tetairoa McMillan, one of the best wide receivers in Arizona history, will skip his final year of eligibility and enter the 2025 NFL Draft, he announced on social media on Thursday.

The Indian National Congress is not far behind, with at least a score of C&V applications filed by its candidates, according to reports. Several Independents are also believed to have requested EVM C&V in several constituencies. Interestingly, a C&V is being sought in Karjat Jamkhed, where the BJP candidate, Ram Shankar Shinde, lost to Rohit Pawar, Sharad Pawar's grandson. The majority of applications came from Thane, Pune, Ahilyanagar, and Mumbai South-Urban constituencies. According to ECI data, 137 EVMs are to be verified in the Pune district, 75 in Thane, and 74 in Ahilyanagar. The state's C&V process will commence on January 7, 2025, once the EP filing period (45 days following results) is completed, officials told ET. The increase in C&V applications in Maharashtra coincides with a fresh campaign against EVMs by opposition parties. Sharad Pawar has blamed his party's failure in the state elections on reported EVM anomalies, and he has also called for a united INDIA bloc movement on the issue. The possibility of filing a petition in the Supreme Court is also being discussed. In addition, the Congress party claimed that there were widespread EVM discrepancies in the Haryana polls and filed a complaint with the ECI. The poll panel has categorically denied any such allegations. The Supreme Court opened the way for C&V in its April 26 ruling, which directed ECI to allow for verification of approximately 5% of EVMs in each assembly constituency/assembly segment of a parliamentary constituency within seven days of counting day. As a result, for the first time, the Lok Sabha 2024 elections allowed two runners-up in a seat to seek verification of the EVM/VVPAT microcontroller for alleged 'tampering or modification'. According to the ECI, just eight C&V petitions were filed for Lok Sabha seats, and no discrepancies were found in any of them. (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel )
