The 100-year-old 39th President of the United States married his wife, Rosalynn Smith, who died in November 2023 at 96, nearly eight decades ago - in 1946 - and they went on to welcome three sons and one daughter together. Each of Jimmy's kids have had numerous kids of their own, who have also had numerous kids of their own - resulting in him having a total of 29 descendants. While some of some of the former President's kids and grandkids have followed in Jimmy's footsteps and launched their own successful careers in politics, others tried and failed. Jimmy Carter, the longest living president in US history, leaves behind an enormous family Jimmy (seen with his family in the late '70s) and his wife, Rosalynn, welcomed three sons and a daughter. Each of their kids have had numerous kids of their own, who also had numerous kids His first-born son, Jack - who was kicked out of the Navy after he was caught smoking weed with his friends when he was younger - ran for the Senate in Nevada in 2006, but ultimately lost. Jimmy's second-eldest son, Chip, worked for the Democratic National Committee and now serves as the president of a nonprofit organization founded by his parents, while his third-born, Jeff, started a computer mapping company. As for Jimmy's fourth child, his only daughter, Amy - who practically stole everyone's hearts when her dad was elected President when she was just nine years old - she grew up to be a fierce activist who has attended many protests against the US's foreign policy, which even resulted in her being arrested on one occasion. As the world gears up to grapple with the loss of the beloved former President, FEMAIL has rounded up everything you need to know about the 26 family members he will be remembered by. He is seen with some of his family in 1976 Some of them have also received attention for scandalous behavior - like Chip, who once admitted to 'lighting up' with singer Willie Nelson on the roof of the White House. Jeff also came into the spotlight when his son tragically died of a heart attack at age 28 back in 2015 - a loss that left the entire family devastated. The politician's organization confirmed via Twitter in February that Carter had decided, after a series of hospital stays, to receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention. He spent his remaining months at home with his devoted wife of 77 years - until she passed on November 19 - and loving family by his side. As the world grapples with the loss of the beloved former president, FEMAIL has rounded up everything you need to know about the 29 family members he will be remembered by. From his Senator and award-winning lawyer grandson to his researcher grandson who helped uncover controversial videos of Mitt Romney during the 2012 Presidential race, here's everything you need to know about Jimmy's kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. Jimmy and Rosalynn's first son, John 'Jack' Carter, was kicked out of the Navy for smoking weed and unsuccessfully ran for the United States' Senate in Nevada Jimmy and Rosalynn's oldest son, John 'Jack' William Carter (seen in 2006) graduated from Georgia Tech, and earned a law degree from the University of Georgia School of Law in 1975 Jimmy and Rosalynn welcomed their first child together, a baby boy whom they named John 'Jack' William Carter, on July 3, 1947. The couple moved around a lot during the early years of Jack's life - thanks to Jimmy's work in the Navy - but they eventually settled in a small town in Georgia, called Plains, where they ran a peanut farm. It's been said that Jack, now 77, helped tend to the farm as a kid, and that his dad would pay him 10 cents per hour for his hard work. Soon after they moved to Georgia, Jimmy began his political career - he was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 1953, became a Georgia state Senator in 1963, followed by the Georgia governor in 1971, and the President of the United States in 1977. But as his father's career flourished, Jack began to struggle. He switched from college to college, attending Georgia Institute of Technology, Emory University, and Georgia Southwestern State University, before he ultimately left school altogether to join the Navy in April 1968. But in 1970, Jimmy's first-born was kicked out with a 'less than honorable' discharge after he and some friends were caught smoking marijuana at a Naval Reactors Facility in Idaho. But the then-23-year-old quickly turned things around. He decided to return to school, and received his bachelor's degree in Nuclear Physics from Georgia Tech, followed by a law degree from the University of Georgia School of Law in 1975. After leaving the Navy, he also found love, marrying a woman named Juliette 'Judy' Langford - the daughter of Georgia state Senator James Beverly Langford. Together, they welcomed two children - a son named Jason James Carter, born in 1975, and a daughter named Sarah Rosemary Carter, born in 1978. In 2006, Jack ran for a seat in the United States Senate - however, he ultimately lost to Republican John Ensign. He is seen with his dad in 2006 After finishing his schooling, Jack starting practicing law for his wife's father, and helped his own dad during his Presidential campaign in 1976. He and Judy then decided to relocate to Chicago, where they lived together with their two kids for many years while he worked various jobs - including for the Chicago Board of Trade and for Citibank. The pair ultimately opted to go their separate ways, and the details of their divorce are not known. He then got re-married to a woman named Elizabeth Brasfield in 1992. She had two children from a previous marriage - a son named John Chuldenko and a daughter named Sarah Reynolds - who became Jack's step-kids. The family moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, in 2002, and in 2006, Jack ran for a seat in the United States Senate - however, he ultimately lost to Republican John Ensign. Since then, he's lived a relatively quiet life out of the spotlight. Jack and Judy's son is an award-winning lawyer and former Georgia Senator, while their daughter has lived a much quieter life Jack's son with his first wife, Judy Langford, named Jason Carter, was a successful lawyer. He also served on Georgia's State Senate from 2010 to 2015. He is seen in 2014 Jack and Judy's son, Jason, now 49, has also followed in his grandfather's footsteps by becoming a politician. After graduating from Duke University with a double major in philosophy and political science, he served in the Peace Corps in South Africa. He then got a law degree from University of Georgia School of Law in 2004, before he became a partner at the law firm Bondurant, Mixson & Elmore. Jason made many strides during his time as a lawyer, earning the Stuart Eizenstat Young Lawyer Award for his work defending voters' rights, and even representing the National Football League Players Association. He is also a successful author, releasing a book entitled Power Lines: Two Years on South Africa's Borders in 2002 - which was derived from diaries he wrote during his time in the Peace Corps. In 2010, he was elected into Georgia's State Senate, which he served on for five years, and in 2014, he became the Democratic nominee for governor of Georgia - however, he ultimately lost the election to Nathan Deal. Jack and Judy's daughter, Sarah, now 44, has lived a much quieter life, and has done her best to stay out of the public eye. She is seen with her grandpa as a baby As for his love life, he married a former journalist and high school teacher named Kate, and together, they have welcomed two sons, named Henry, in 2006, and Thomas, in 2008.

He writes for magazines and speaks at universities. 'He’s created content for military weapons platforms and pizza restaurants. And he also writes and directs award-winning commercials, promos, and the occasional music video.' He announced last year that he had started a project focused on updating the White House's secret record collection. He told NPR that he discovered the collection thanks to his uncle Jeff Carter, who told him a story that involved him 'sneaking off' to listen to the records with some friends after a 'fancy' dinner party at the White House. After getting approval from then-First Lady Michelle Obama, John flew to Washington, D.C. to view the records in 2010, and soon realized that there was nothing in the collection from later than the 1980s. As of May 2022 when the article was published, he was in the midst of working with the Recording Industry Association of America to update the collection. John currently lives in LA and has two daughters, who haven't been shown to the public, and his relationship status is unknown.

He is seen in 1980 Willie first spoke about it in his 1988 autobiography, writing, 'Sitting on the roof of the White House in Washington, D.C. late last night with a beer in one hand and a fat Austin Torpedo in the other. 'My companion on the roof was pointing out to me the sights and layout of how the streets run in Washington. 'I let the weed cover me with a pleasing cloud... I guess the roof of the White House is the safest place to smoke dope.' While the musician didn't reveal who his 'companion' was at the time, Chip later admitted in an interview that he was indeed the one who smoked with Willie. 'We just kept going up ’til we got to the roof, where we leaned against the flagpole at the top of the place and lit one up,' he said during the 2020 documentary Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President. 'If you know Washington, the White House is the hub of the spokes - the way it was designed. 'Most of the avenues run into the White House. You could sit up and could see all the traffic coming right at you. It’s a nice place up there.' Chip's son with his first wife helped leak videos of Mitt Romney making controversial comments during his Presidential campaign against Barack Obama, while his daughter with his second wife stays out of the spotlight Chip's son with his first wife, Caron Griffin, named James Carter IV, is an opposition researcher and started the company Carter Research, LLC He helped leak videos of Mitt Romney making controversial comments during his Presidential campaign against Barack Obama.

Per his bio, now-46-year-old James 'has worked on numerous US political campaigns and has participated in election observations with The Carter Center in countries like Nigeria and Indonesia, among others.' He is married to a woman named Sally (seen), but it doesn't appear that they have any children together He also previously served as an independent consultant for the government of Panama, writing grants for the Ministry of Social Development. Based in Atlanta, the Georgia State University graduate was reportedly the one to leak the now-viral video of Mitt Romney stating that 47 per cent of Americans 'believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it' during his Presidential campaign against Barack Obama in 2012. 'I’ve been searching for clips on Republicans for a long time, almost every day,' he told New York magazine at the time. 'I just do it for fun.' He is married to a woman named Sally, but it doesn't appear that they have any children together. As for Chip's daughter with his second wife, she does her best to stay out of the spotlight. Margaret, 36, is reportedly married to a man named Harold Edward Carter, and they have one daughter together named Alicia Carter, who was born in September 2009. Jimmy and Rosalynn's third son, Donnel 'Jeff' Carter, loved inviting his celebrity friends over to the White House and helped host the likes of Bob Dylan and Pope John Paul II Jimmy and Rosalynn's third son, Donnel 'Jeff' Carter (seen with his wife) launched a company called Computer Mapping Consultants, Inc after graduating from college The former president and his wife, Rosalynn, welcomed their third child, another boy named Donnel Jeffrey 'Jeff' Carter, on August 18, 1952. Jeff, now 71, graduated from George Washington University in 1978 with a bachelor's degree in geography, specializing in computer cartography. During his time at the school, Time magazine reported that he grew close to a teacher - a former intelligence analyst for the Defense Intelligence Agency named Robert Mercready - and after he graduated, they went on to form the company Computer Mapping Consultants, Inc together, which became a consultant for World Bank. He married a woman he met at college named Annette Davis in 1975, and together, they had three sons - Joshua Jeffrey Carter, born in 1984, Jeremy Davis Carter, born in 1987, and James Carlton Carter, born in 1991. The couple lived with Jeff's father, Jimmy, during much of his Presidency, and they were reportedly very social, racking up tons of celebrity friends, like Bob Dylan and Pope John Paul II, whom they'd host at the White House - before they eventually moved out and got their own place in Georgia. The family faced tragedy in 2015, when their son Jeremy died of a heart attack suddenly at age 28. More heartbreak came in 2021, when Annette sadly passed away at age 68. Her family confirmed the news to People but did not specify the cause of death. 'Annette was a homemaker, and she was devoted to raising her three boys,' her son Josh wrote in the obituary. 'She will be remembered by her friends and family for her easy smile, her fun-loving sense of humor, and her caring nature. 'She loved to laugh at a particularly bad white elephant gift or a ridiculous pair of earrings. 'She always saved stories or comics that she thought would make her sons smile. Annette was a prolific storyteller and often had her listeners in gales of laughter by the end of one of her tales. 'She loved her family and her friends with all her heart, and they loved her back with all of theirs.' Jeff and Annette's middle son died of a heart attack at age 28, while their oldest is a podcaster and their youngest tries to avoid all media attention Jeff and his wife, Annette's first-born son, named Joshua, now 39, is a graduate from Georgia Tech, podcaster, blogger, and woodwork enthusiast.

And it turns out, his love of furniture-making is something he shares with his grandfather, Jimmy. The former President has been very open about his hobby, and would even auction off pieces that he made for charity during his time in the Oval Office. 'Every year when I was at his house for Christmas, I would always go into his shop from when I was eight until well through college,' Joshua once recalled. 'I would work on the projects that he was working on. I think I worked on every single piece that he made for the auction.' Joshua is married a woman named Sarah Carter - whom he started dating at just 11 years old - and they share two sons, named Charles and Jonathan. Jeff and Annette's second son, Jeremy, led a relatively private life up until his tragic death in 2015. Jeff and Annette's second son, Jeremy, tragically died of a heart attack suddenly in 2015, at age 28. He is seen (left) with Joshua and his wife Jimmy later called Jeremy 'a very special child' and 'a wonderful young man whom they all loved very much' during a service 'I am so raw. I feel everything and nothing at once, at the same time,' Joshua wrote on his blog the day after Jeremy's passing. 'My dad called me sometime around 10:10 last night and told me that something was wrong, that they were at the hospital with Jeremy and it was not good. 'I got in the car and got there as quick as I could. Jeremy was not responsive. His temperature was low. His organs were not working. He was bleeding. He was yellow.' Joshua said the heart attack happened while he was home with their mother in the kitchen, and that his 'dear mom' had to 'give him CPR until the paramedics came.' He died later that night after suffering from a second heart attack at the hospital. 'It’s still surreal. I am waiting to wake up or for somebody to tell me that it was a nightmare or a horrible case of mistaken identity or really for somebody that knows all the facts to just tell me that the facts are not true,' Joshua added. 'Just this one time can the facts not be true. I want the universe to lie to me. Just this once. It’s hard to comprehend how much the world has changed.' Jimmy later called Jeremy 'a very special child' and 'a wonderful young man whom they all loved very much' during a service. Jeff and Annette's third son, Jamie, 31, married his wife, Anna Carter, in October 2021. The two have stayed mostly out of the public eye, and they share one daughter, named Rayna Rose Carter, who was born in March 2019.

Busy and full: highlights of Jimmy Carter’s life

Former President Jimmy Carter has died at the age of 100. The 39th president of the United States was a Georgia peanut farmer who sought to restore trust in government when he assumed the presidency in 1977 and then built a reputation for tireless work as a humanitarian. He earned a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Carter died Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care, at his home in Plains, Georgia. At age 52, Carter was sworn in as president on Jan. 20, 1977, after defeating President Gerald R. Ford in the 1976 general election. Carter left office on Jan. 20, 1981, following his 1980 general election loss to Ronald Reagan. Here's the latest: Jason Carter is now the chairman of The Carter Center’s board of governors. He said his grandparents “never changed who they were” even after reaching the White House and becoming global humanitarians. He says their four years in Washington were just one period of putting their values into action and that the center his grandparents founded in Atlanta is a lasting “extension of their belief in human rights as a fundamental global force.” Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter traveled the world advocating for democracy and fighting disease, but Jason Carter said they weren’t motivated by pity, or arrogance that a former American president had all the answers — they ventured to remote places because they could “recognize these people.” They too were from “a 600-person village” and understood that even the poorest people “have the power ... the ability ... the knowledge and the expertise to change their own community.” As reaction poured in from around the world, President Joe Biden mourned Carter’s death, saying the world lost an “extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian” and he lost a dear friend. Biden cited Carter’s compassion and moral clarity, his work to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless and advocacy for the disadvantaged as an example for others. Biden said he is ordering a state funeral for Carter in Washington. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is remembering Carter as a man steeped “in devotion to public service and peace.” The California Democrat said in a statement Sunday that Carter was committed to “honoring the spark of divinity within every person,” something she said manifested in “teaching Sunday school in his beloved Marantha Baptist Church, brokering the landmark Camp David Accords to pave the way to peace or building homes with Habitat for Humanity.” Pelosi also said Carter led “perhaps the most impactful post-presidency in history.” British Prime Minister Keir Starmer noted in a post on X the special contribution Carter made by brokering the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt and through his work with the Carter Center. “Motivated by his strong faith and values, President Carter redefined the post-presidency with a remarkable commitment to social justice and human rights at home and abroad,” Starmer said. To commemorate Carter’s death, officials with the Empire State Building said in a post on social media that the iconic New York City landmark would be lit in red, white and blue on Sunday night, “to honor the life and legacy” of the late former president. In a statement issued Sunday, former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama said Carter’s beloved Maranatha Baptist Church “will be a little quieter on Sunday,s” but added that the late former president “will never be far away -- buried alongside Rosalynn next to a willow tree down the road, his memory calling all of us to heed our better angels.” Noting the “hundreds of tourists from around the world crammed into the pews” to see the former president teach Sunday school, as he did “for most of his adult life,” the Obamas listed Carter’s accomplishments as president. But they made special note of the Sunday school lessons, saying they were catalysts for people making a pilgrimage to the church. “Many people in that church on Sunday morning were there, at least in part, because of something more fundamental: President Carter’s decency.” The longest-lived American president died Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care , at his home in the small town of Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, Rosalynn, who died at 96 in November 2023 , spent most of their lives. “Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia,” The Carter Center said in posting about his death on the social media platform X. It added in a statement that he died peacefully, surrounded by his family. In his 1975 book “Why Not The Best,” Carter said of himself: “I am a Southerner and an American, I am a farmer, an engineer, a father and husband, a Christian, a politician and former governor, a planner, a businessman, a nuclear physicist, a naval officer, a canoeist, and among other things a lover of Bob Dylan’s songs and Dylan Thomas’s poetry.” A moderate Democrat, Carter entered the 1976 presidential race as a little-known Georgia governor with a broad smile, outspoken Baptist mores and technocratic plans reflecting his education as an engineer. After he left office and returned home to his tiny hometown of Plains in southwest Georgia, Carter regularly taught Sunday School lessons at Maranatha Baptist Church until his mobility declined. Those sessions drew visitors from around the world. Former Vice President Al Gore praised Jimmy Carter for living “a life full of purpose, commitment and kindness” and for being a “lifelong role model for the entire environmental movement.” Carter, who left the White House in 1981 after a landslide defeat to Ronald Reagan. concentrated on conflict resolution, defending democracy and fighting disease in the developing world. Gore, who lost the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush, remains a leading advocate for action to fight climate change. Both won Nobel Peace Prizes. Gore said that “it is a testament to his unyielding determination to help build a more just and peaceful world” that Carter is often “remembered equally for the work he did as President as he is for his leadership over the 42 years after he left office.” During Gore’s time in the White House, President Bill Clinton had an uneasy relationship with Carter. But Gore said he is “grateful” for “many years of friendship and collaboration” with Carter. Former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, remember Carter as a man who lived to serve others. “Hillary and I mourn the passing of President Jimmy Carter and give thanks for his long, good life. Guided by his faith, President Carter lived to serve others — until the very end." The statement recalled Carter's many achievements and priorities, including efforts “to protect our natural resources in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, make energy conservation a national priority, return the Panama Canal to Panama, and secure peace between Egypt and Israel at Camp David." After he left office, the Clinton statement said, Carter continued efforts in "supporting honest elections, advancing peace, combating disease, and promoting democracy; to his and Rosalynn’s devotion and hard work at Habitat for Humanity — he worked tirelessly for a better, fairer world,” the statement said.

Arsenal 1-0 Ipswich: Gunners close gap at the top and move up to second in the Premier League thanks to Kai Havertz's first half strike Kai Havertz close-range finish after 23 minutes proved to be the difference Arsenal have leapfrogged Arsenal into second and are six points off the top LISTEN NOW: It's All Kicking Off! New formation, some new faces, but the optimism has gone at Old Trafford By OLIVER HOLT Published: 22:07, 27 December 2024 | Updated: 22:25, 27 December 2024 e-mail 230 shares View comments This match between challengers and strugglers felt like the comfy sofa where you retreat to rest after you have eaten one too many slices of turkey and two too many mince pies. As post-prandial entertainment, it wasn’t as good as the Gavin and Stacey finale but the three points it brought Arsenal did lift them above Nottingham Forest and Chelsea and into prime position to give chase to Liverpool . This was a job done by Mikel Arteta ’s side and nothing more. It was the bare minimum requirement that marked the start of their attempt to close the gap on Arne Slot ’s side. The sketchy 1-0 win moved them to within six points of the leaders although Liverpool do also have a game in hand and the wind in their sails. It also proved to Arsenal that they can win without Bukayo Saka , their best player, who will be out for several more weeks with a hamstring injury sustained at Crystal Palace before Christmas . Arsenal looked shorn of attacking inspiration without Saka but Ipswich , who are one off the bottom of the Premier League, were not good enough to expose their uncertainties. Ipswich did cause some nervous flutters among the home crowd in the second half as they began to exhibit a modicum of attacking ambition but Arsenal were never really threatened. Even so, the final whistle was greeted with a roar of relief in north London. They were grateful to Leandro Trossard for the game’s one moment of attacking flair when he beat his man in the Ipswich area and crossed for Havertz to tap home from close range. But Arsenal’s unconvincing showing against Kieran McKenna’s side will increase worries among their supporters that, without Saka, they will find it hard to sustain a challenge to Liverpool. The rest of Arsenal’s attacking band – Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli – played only fitfully. Sterner tests than this, away at Brentford and Brighton, await Arsenal and they will have to step up a gear if they are to keep up the pressure on Liverpool. The absence of Saka had been on everyone’s mind in the build-up to the game and as the teams waited in the tunnel, the television cameras zoomed in on Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz locked in intense conversation about their roles as Martinelli looked on. Martinelli, as expected, occupied Saka’s role on the right flank but before he had even touched the ball, Ipswich nearly scored. The game was a few seconds old when the ball was swung over from the visitors’ left. Sam Szmodics was in space a few yards from goal and prodded a foot at it. If he had made contact, he would have scored. Gabriel Martinelli, as expected, occupied Bukayo Saka’s role on the right flank Thereafter, the first half turned into a game of attack versus defence with Arsenal frustrated by the massed ranks of blue shirts behind the ball. A series of patient build-ups foundered. The first time there was a glimpse of a chance was when Jurrien Timber burst forward from defence and unleashed a drive that thudded into the midriff of Arijanet Muric. But then, midway through the half, Arsenal broke the deadlock. A Martinelli cross was only half-cleared to Leandro Trossard on the edge of the Ipswich box. Trossard ran at Ben Johnson and fizzed in a cross and Havertz stole in behind Jacob Greaves to lift it high into the net. If there was an expectation that a goal might raise the tempo of the game, it was a false expectation. It settled back into a state of post-Christmas torpor, as woolly as the light fog that wisped around the floodlight glare at the stadium. The main interest was in the cameos, in the collision between Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips, two of England’s great success stories from Euro2020, two players whose fortunes have diverged in the years that have elapsed since that tournament. Rice is at the heart of this Arsenal team of title challengers now after his move from West Ham, whereas Phillips is still trying to rebuild his career after his move from Leeds to Manchester City stalled his progress and led to him being criticised by Pep Guardiola. Phillips did his best to compete and to disrupt Arsenal’s possession but he saw precious little of the ball. It feels like an awfully long time since he was one of the stars of the wonderful Leeds side fashioned by Marcelo Bielsa. Arsenal began the second half with greater urgency and when Phillips tripped Rice on the edge of the Ipswich box a few minutes after the interval, the home fans sensed opportunity. Martin Odegaard could only clip the free kick into the wall. Emboldened by Arsenal’s toothlessness, Ipswich actually began to venture into the opposition half and swung crosses in from both flanks. Their fans, behind the goal their team was now attacking, responded by raising the volume of their support. Ipswich nearly paid for their new spirit of adventure immediately. Arsenal won a corner and when Rice curled it to the back post, Gabriel ran on to it. He met it unmarked three yards out but somehow contrived to direct it an inch wide of the post. The Arsenal centre half turned away in disbelief. Arsenal had other chances to extend their lead. Rice aimed a thunderous volley goalwards only to see it blocked by an Ipswich defender and Havertz missed his kick when he had the goal at his mercy. Odegaard became more and more influential as the game wore on and his prompting freed substitute Mikel Merino to unleash a stinging shot that Muric did well to push aside as it arrowed towards the corner of the net. Arsenal’s dominance had been such that the game should have been out of reach but their lack of an attacking edge meant that a sense of dread accompanied each late Ipswich foray into the Arsenal half. A better team might have been able to expose that nervousness but even though Ipswich were willing, they were not that team. Arsenal saw the game out. They got the job done. But it was not the kind of display that will have Mo Salah, ,Virgil van Dijk and co looking over their shoulders just yet.

His more than two dozen books included nonfiction, poetry, fiction, religious meditations and a children’s story. His memoir “An Hour Before Daylight” was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2002, while his 2006 best-seller “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” stirred a fierce debate by likening Israel’s policies in the West Bank to the brutal South African system of racial segregation. And just before his 100th birthday, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize Foundation honored him with a lifetime achievement award for how he wielded “the power of the written word to foster peace, social justice, and global understanding.” In one recent work, “A Full Life,” Carter observed that he “enjoyed writing” and that his books “provided a much-needed source of income.” But some projects were easier than others. “Everything to Gain,” a 1987 collaboration with his wife, Rosalynn, turned into the “worst threat we ever experienced in our marriage,” an intractable standoff for the facilitator of the Camp David accords and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. According to Carter, Rosalynn was a meticulous author who considered “the resulting sentences as though they have come down from Mount Sinai, carved into stone.” Their memories differed on various events and they fell into “constant arguments.” They were ready to abandon the book and return the advance, until their editor persuaded them to simply divide any disputed passages between them. “In the book, each of these paragraphs is identified by a ‘J’ or an ‘R,’ and our marriage survived,” he wrote.

Here’s why ‘Baby Driver’ actor Hudson Meek dead at 16 Pregnant woman stabbed multiple times by pizza deliverer disgruntled about tip, sheriff saysImagine a world where food on grocery store shelves is ranked by its healthiness, with simple, research-backed scores. In some countries, that world already exists. Nutrient profiling systems, or NPSs, support clear front-of-package labels that assess food quality based on nutrient content . Nutri-Score in France is a rainbow-colored system grading foods from A to E. Health Star Rating in Australia is a five-star system rating foods in half-star increments. And the Traffic Light System in the U.K. labels nutrient levels as green, yellow or red. In contrast, the U.S. lacks a front-of-package ranking system for food. Food Compass was recently developed out of Tufts University to help address this gap and shortcomings in other systems. But it uses nutritional information not currently available for most foods and consumers. As a gastroenterologist and physician-scientist , I focus on making the latest microbiome and nutrition data more accessible to the public. Drawing on this research, I developed Nutrient Consume Score, or NCS , which rates foods from 1 to 100 using nutritional information available for all foods and incorporates factors important for a healthy microbiome. But how do nutrient profiling systems work? And how do they compare to other nutrition guides for consumers? Nutrient ciphers Each nutrient profiling system uses different scoring algorithms , but most assign positive points to nutrients and foods that are typically underconsumed, such as fiber, fruits and vegetables. Conversely, negative points are given to overconsumed nutrients like sugar, saturated fat and sodium, which are often added to processed foods. These points are combined into a single score: higher scores indicate healthier foods, while lower scores indicate less healthy options. For example, kale—rich in fiber, potassium and unsaturated fats , while low in sugar, sodium and saturated fats—would earn a high score. In contrast, Twinkies, which are high in sugar, sodium and saturated fats, but low in fiber, potassium and unsaturated fats, would receive a low score. A food like black olives, high in fiber but also high in sodium, would fall somewhere in between. Nutrient profiling systems work similarly to the Nutrition Facts labels on the back or sides of food packages in helping consumers make informed choices. These labels provide information about a food's nutrient content, including calories, macronutrients, and key vitamins and minerals. The values are determined through laboratory analysis and nutrient databases based on standardized serving sizes regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. But NPSs differ in that they combine nutrition information into a single actionable score. This means you don't have to spend time deciphering Nutrition Facts labels, which are often in small print and can be confusing to interpret. Ultraprocessed profiling Nutrient profiling system algorithms are all quite similar in their high ranking of unprocessed foods—beans, nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables and whole grains—and low ranking of processed foods like hot dogs, soft drinks, cakes and cookies. They help people rebalance their diets that have been skewed by food processing, or the degree to which the ingredients have been altered. They complement the NOVA classification system developed by researchers at the University of São Paulo, which categorizes foods based on their level of processing. This system introduced the term " ultra-processed foods ," which are foods that have undergone significant industrial processing and contain ingredients not typically found in home cooking. While NOVA has linked ultra-processed foods to poor health outcomes like obesity, worse mental health, cancer and early death, it treats all such foods equally, overlooking differences like amount of sugar, sodium and other additives. Nutrient profile systems help provide nuance by identifying healthier options within the ultra-processed category. For example, plant-based milks, such as almond or soy milk, may be classified as ultra-processed under the NOVA system, but they can have relatively higher NPS scores if they contain minimal added sugars and salt. Ratios and bioactives in balance While nutrient profiling systems can be useful for choosing healthier options, current systems have limitations. They don't always align perfectly with other research , often overlook the bioactive chemicals that regulate the microbiome and body processes, and may rely on incomplete data. Current systems also don't account for the caloric and health effects of alcohol. The Nutrient Consume Score I designed aims to address these gaps by incorporating these neglected components of food. For example, it uses food categories as proxies for areas with limited data, including bioactive compounds like polyphenols, omega-3 fats and fermentable fibers . Proxies for bioactive compounds found in unprocessed foods—such as fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts and seeds—are integrated into the score's core algorithm, which uses nutrient ratios to measure the degree of food processing. Nutrient ratios —including carbohydrate-to-fiber, saturated fat-to-unsaturated fat and sodium-to-potassium—reflect the natural balance of nutritional content of the cells in unprocessed foods, which research has shown correlate with cardiometabolic health . For example, the cell walls of plants provide structural strength and are rich in fiber, while their energy vesicles store carbohydrates. Fiber reduces sugar absorption and is fermented into the compound butyrate , which maintains blood sugar and regulates appetite . The fat profiles of unprocessed foods are similar to the fat composition in cell membranes . Saturated fat-to-unsaturated fat ratios capture how different types of fat , affect inflammation and weight. Finally, the potassium-to-sodium ratio reflects the natural function of cell membrane pumps , which concentrate potassium inside cells while transporting sodium out. This affects blood pressure as well as the microbiome and metabolic health. Research currently under peer review shows that the Nutrient Consume Score compares favorably with other systems. Derived from nutrition data from nearly 5,000 Americans, NCS sores are linked to blood pressure, waist circumference and weight. NCS has also been incorporated into a smartphone app intended for public use, currently in beta testing . Empowering smart choices While nutrient profiling systems are a promising tool for healthier food choices, they come with important caveats. Most studies testing how well they work focus on how two factors relate to each other rather than whether one directly causes the other. Correlation doesn't prove causation. Further studies are needed to assess whether these systems influence buying habits, consumption trends, and health outcomes like weight and blood pressure. Additionally, individual dietary needs can vary, and personalized algorithms could help refine these scores for tailored recommendations. Despite these considerations, nutrient profiling systems are promising tools to combat rising rates of metabolic disease. Their use in Europe demonstrates their potential to shift consumer purchasing habits and inspire food companies to create healthier products. Americans may one day see similar front-of-package labels in the U.S. Until then, smartphone technologies can offer a practical way to help consumers make smarter choices today.

So far, the retailer known for its ready-to-assemble products has incurred a cumulative loss of ₹5,550 crore in India as it spent to buy and build distribution centres, a city outlet and three big box stores-each large enough to fit about four football fields. "Ikea in India maintained a solid sales growth despite no price increase and lowering the prices on certain products in FY24," a company spokesperson said. "Our losses largely reflect the investment we are making towards our omni-channel growth. We remain committed to our plan of opening more stores and serving 200 million people by 2025 through our high quality, affordable range." Last fiscal, Ikea cut costs after raw material prices softened, helping the company lower prices of several products by about 20% both in India as well as globally. Earlier this year, the flat-pack furniture giant said it is still trying to get a foothold in the Indian market and that it will take at least 8-10 stores to benefit from economies of scale.

Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli BRUTALLY Trolled; Retirement Calls Grow Louder After Stalwarts Fail at MCG, AgainBATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Cam Carter hit five 3-pointers and finished with 23 points, Vyctorius Miller added 20 points and LSU never trailed Sunday night in a 110-45 win over Mississippi Valley State, the Tigers' 21st consecutive victory when scoring at least 100 points. LSU's 65-point margin of victory was its largest since the Tigers beat Grambling by 75 (112-37) on Nov. 20, 1999 and is the third biggest against a Division-I opponent in program history. The 110 points were the most by LSU since a 119-108 win over North Florida on Dec. 12, 2015. Carter scored 11 points — including three 3-pointers — in the first six minutes to make it 18-6 and LSU led by double figures the rest of the way. The Delta Devils went 0 for 6 from the field and committed five turnovers as LSU scored 17 consecutive points to take a 28-point lead with 7:44 left in the first half and led 55-13 at halftime. The Tigers allowed the seventh-fewest points in a half by an opponent in program history. Mississippi Valley State (2-11) is averaging 46.2 points and is winless with a scoring margin of minus-44.2 in 11 games against Division-I opponents this season. LSU (11-2) has won three games in a row since a 74-64 loss to SMU at the Compete 4 Cause Classic in Frisco, Texas, on Dec. 14. Jordan Spears and Daimion Collins added 15 points apiece for the Tigers, who shot 66% (46 of 70) from the field and made 12 3s.
