Jimmy Carter lived longer than any president — and by a long shot. Presidents, on average, have lived to 72 years. President Joe Biden, one of four presidents born in the 1940s, is already one of the ten longest-living presidents. Biden turned 82 in November. John F. Kennedy, at 46, and James Garfield, at 49, are the shortest-lived presidents.

Investigators said they haven’t yet figured out what caused the apparent leak of carbon monoxide from the propane gas heating system. New Hampshire Fire Marshal Sean Toomey said there were no carbon monoxide alarms found in the home, and he urged people to install and maintain such alarms. “This has been a terribly tragic year for both fire deaths and carbon monoxide deaths,” Toomey said. The CDC said more than 400 Americans die each year from unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning not linked to fires, while another 14,000 are hospitalized. When fire crews arrived, they found the home had elevated levels of carbon monoxide, Toomey said, adding that the deaths were believed to be accidental.

Two prototypes for China's future stealth strike fighter took the skies in broad daylight in recent days, showcasing China's growing aerospace might as it tries to match the US. One showed a triangular aircraft similar to America's retired F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter, with some notable differences. By eliminating a tail and vertical stabilizers, the flying wing reduces the number of angled surfaces that can produce radar returns.

HONG KONG — In Hong Kong, it’s pandas, pandas, everywhere. Its reigning pair, Ying Ying and Le Le, had twins in August, when Ying Ying become the world’s oldest first-time panda mother after years of failed breeding efforts. The panda windfall has inspired Hong Kong officials to talk about a “panda economy,” encouraging restaurants and businesses to launch panda-themed products. But that is still well below the more than 50 million visitors Hong Kong received from January to October of 2019, a period that includes the start of the protests. Other ideas for revitalizing Hong Kong, such as the “mega-event economy,” have hit roadblocks as political sensitivities remain high.

In dozens of cases in BI's sample, incarcerated people said they were denied emergency medical treatment by corrections officers or medical staff despite obvious medical distress. But according to his complaint and internal grievance files, the prison medical staff denied Kirk's request to be seen at a hospital. In at least a dozen cases BI examined, outside medical authorities, such as hospital doctors, testified that the medical treatment prisoners received was substandard.

In 1969, after the federal Fair Housing Act prohibited housing discrimination based on race, Evanston city officials passed local fair housing ordinances. That year, the city set out to create the country’s first reparations program to atone for its history of racial discrimination. She decided to apply to the reparations program when it began offering checks last year. At first, Evanston’s reparations program offered recipients only in-kind financial assistance, which could be used toward mortgage payments, a down payment for a house, or home improvement projects. Robin Rue Simmons said the reparations program had to be created from the ground up.

"We're already helping shippers prepare for a potential U.S. port strike in January." The effort has also helped to monitor the supply chain for potential spikes in inflation.

When President-elect Donald Trump retakes the White House in January, he could be flanked by a large cohort of young Indian American stars. These Indian Americans are perhaps the most well-represented minority group on the president-elect’s newly announced team. Others say the Indian American community has been poised to fit into the current Republican mold for some time. “It’s remarkable how disproportionately represented Indian Americans are compared to other communities of color,” said Karthick Ramakrishnan, founder of AAPI Data. “Trump had higher support among 18- to 34-year-old Indian Americans, and especially among Indian American men,” Ramakrishnan said.
