President Erdogan emphasized the importance of rebuilding Syria and creating conditions that would allow refugees to safely return to their homes. He highlighted Turkey's ongoing efforts to create safe zones within Syria where refugees can return with dignity and security. These safe zones would provide the necessary infrastructure, services, and stability for refugees to rebuild their lives and communities.NEW YORK (AP) — A slide for market superstar Nvidia helped pull U.S. stock indexes down from their records. The S&P 500 fell 0.6% Monday, coming off its 57th all-time high of the year so far. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.5%, and the Nasdaq composite dropped 0.6% from its own record. Nvidia was the market’s heaviest weight after China said it’s probing the chip giant for potential antitrust violations. Stocks in Hong Kong jumped after top Chinese leaders agreed on a “moderately loose” monetary policy. Prices for oil and gold rose following the ouster of Syrian leader Bashar Assad. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. NEW YORK (AP) — A slide for market superstar Nvidia on Monday is helping to pull U.S. stock indexes down from their records. The S&P 500 fell by 0.3% in afternoon trading, coming off its 57th all-time high of the year so far. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 57 points, or 0.1%, as of 1:53 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite pulled back 0.3% from its own record. Nvidia's drop of 2.1% was by far the heaviest weight on the S&P 500 after China said it's investigating the company over suspected violations of Chinese anti-monopoly laws. Nvidia has skyrocketed to become one of Wall Street’s most valuable companies because its chips are driving much of the world’s move into artificial-intelligence technology. That gives its stock’s movements more sway on the S&P 500 than nearly every other. Nvidia's fall overshadowed gains in Hong Kong and for Chinese stocks trading in the United States on hopes that China will deliver more stimulus for the world's second-largest economy. Roughly half the stocks in the S&P 500 also rose. The week’s highlight for Wall Street will arrive midweek when the latest updates on inflation arrive. Economists expect Wednesday’s report to show the inflation that U.S. consumers are feeling remained stuck at roughly the same level last month. A separate report on Thursday, meanwhile, could show an acceleration in inflation at the wholesale level. They’re the last big pieces of data the Federal Reserve will get before its meeting next week on interest rates. The widespread expectation is still that the central bank will cut its main interest rate for the third time this year. The Fed has been easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high since September to offer more help for the slowing job market, after bringing inflation nearly all the way down to its 2% target. Lower interest rates can ease the brakes off the economy, but they can also offer more fuel for inflation. Expectations for a series of cuts from the Fed have been a major reason the S&P 500 has set so many all-time highs this year. On Wall Street, Interpublic Group rose 5.8% after rival Omnicom said it would buy the marketing and communications firm in an all-stock deal. The pair had a combined revenue of $25.6 billion last year. Omnicom, meanwhile, sank 9.3%. Macy’s climbed 1.5% after an activist investor, Barington Capital Group, called on the retailer to buy back at least $2 billion of its own stock over the next three years and make other moves to help boost its stock price. Super Micro Computer rose 4.6% after saying it got an extension that will keep its stock listed on the Nasdaq through Feb. 25, as it works to file its delayed annual report and other required financial statements. Earlier this month, the maker of servers used in artificial-intelligence technology said an investigation found no evidence of misconduct by its management or by the company’s board following the resignation of its public auditor . In the oil market, a barrel of benchmark U.S. crude rallied 2% to $68.56 following the overthrow of Syrian leader Bashar Assad, who sought asylum in Moscow after rebels. Brent crude, the international standard, was mostly unchanged at $71.05. The price of gold also rose 1% amid the uncertainty created by the end of the Assad family’s 50 years of iron rule. In stock markets abroad, the Hang Seng jumped 2.8% in Hong Kong after top Chinese leaders agreed on a “moderately loose” monetary policy for the world’s second-largest economy. That’s a shift away from a more cautious, “prudent” stance for the first time in 10 years. A major planning meeting later this week could also bring more stimulus for the Chinese economy. U.S.-listed stocks of several Chinese companies climbed, such as a 13.1% jump for electric-vehicle company Nio and a 9.1% rise for Alibaba Group. Stocks in Shanghai, though, were roughly flat. In Seoul, South Korea’s Kospi slumped 2.8% as the fallout continues from President Yoon Suk Yeol 's brief declaration of martial law last week in the midst of a budget dispute. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.19% from 4.15% late Friday. ___ AP Business Writers Matt Ott and Elaine Kurtenbach contributed. Stan Choe, The Associated Press

It is a beautiful dress! Super soft and comfy, hangs nice cause the fabric has a nice weight to it, and the color was lovely and subtle . Very versatile.

And I wear this sweatshirt a lot, like two days out of every week, and none of the stitching has caused me problems and it's still almost in perfect condition. I loved this sweatshirt enough to buy it in navy blue and deep red. It's soft and thick, but not too thick. It keeps me warm in the winter but if I wanted to wear it during the summer, I wouldn't sweat my butt off, either. It's truly an amazing sweatshirt, and compared to other brands and sweatshirts I own, this one takes the cake big time. Overall, I definitely recommend this! Get it, get it, get it!!!" — five star "Cheap and comfy.

Reviewers say it feels a lot like Skims! You can wear this while you're hard at work on your laptop...on your couch...about to fall asleep because of how cozy you are. Promising review: "No joke, these are pretty much exactly the same as my Skims lounge set for half the price . The pants graze the tops of my feet even when I wear them high-waisted at my belly button, so I think they’re plenty long. The robe is like wearing a blanket, but still looks put together.

A splurge-worthy Lululemon oversized half-zip sweater made with a breathable, cotton-blend fleece fabric that works beautifully as a post-workout layer. Let's be honest, stepping outside after a sweat sesh without something to protect you from the chilly breeze is not the vibe. And get this — it's got a kangaroo pocket with a hidden phone sleeve *and* the elastic zipper pull doubles as an emergency hair tie. 😉 Promising review: "Love this half zip. The one I got is such a fun shade of pink. It fits true to size, with a little bit of a roomier sleeve than I expected. That makes it nice, though, as it leaves space to wear something underneath if you like, and it does not feel constricting. The neck can be worn folded down or standing up. The length is to the waist. It is so cute and well-made! I probably will buy another color, as this is definitely a versatile piece of clothing that can be worn for exercise or casually out for the day. " — Beth Get it from Lululemon for $118 (available in sizes XS—XXL and in seven colors). 20. A pair of palazzo pants that'll have you looking so chic and elegant that people would never guess you're wearing your fave pair of fleece leggings underneath (shhh, it'll be our little secret🤫).

The satin fabric is smooth and comfortable, making it perfect for a restful night's sleep or lounging in style. The fit is just right, and the attention to detail in the design is commendable. Overall, this set is a wonderful addition to my sleepwear collection, and I highly recommend them for anyone looking to combine comfort and sophistication." — Rissss Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in four colors). 23. And while we're on the topic of satin, a silky satin robe — it might just make you feel like the rich, single auntie who travels for a living as soon as you throw it on first thing in the morning. Promising review: "Beautiful, elegant, soft, durable, perfect for getting out of the shower and throwing it on. It has a little trouble staying all the way closed, but overall it’s a great purchase.

I saw this robe on several Instagram influencers and knew I had to get one. It's made of a lightweight material with stretch so there's room for give. The best part is it looks like a wrap dress, so I can wear it on early morning Zoom calls or to grab the mail without feeling like I'm in my bathrobe. I bought two colors and love both!" — Tiffany Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 40 colors). 25. Some chic knit pull-on pants that are honestly giving ✨old money✨. The best part? You'll feel like you're wearing pajamas — all while looking like a million bucks. Promising review: "Must have. I got this pant in small because l wanted a beautiful fit. It has a slight fair to it that give a a chic look." — Miss bee Get it from Anthropologie for $95 (available in sizes XS—XL and in two colors). 26.

Promising review: "Just as expected. If you want a baggier and oversized look I would recommend going up a size. I got a medium and it is just the right amount of oversize for me.

BRB, gonna go throw this on and pretend I'm living in an Italian summer. Promising review: "This dress is a dream. The fabric is so quality I crave it. It is light and airy. It gets softer each time I wear it. It is a little delicate and has snagged a few times but I work the snags back in. I get compliments every time I wear it out but mostly I wear it at home. It feels like NOT WORKING. Thank you Odd Bird for giving me my off-duty uniform." — Andrea Get it from Odd Bird for $170 (available in sizes XS–XL and in four colors).

He was the firstborn of their four children (Gloria, Ruth, and Billy). Carter was the first president to be born in a hospital. He was born at the Wise Sanitarium. August 18, 1927 Eleanor Rosalynn Smith was born in Plains, Georgia. Accompanying his mother, a registered nurse, young Jimmy saw his future spouse the next day. About their first encounter, Rosalynn once said, “He looked through the cradle bars and saw me.” March 4, 1933 In the midst of the Great Depression, Franklin Roosevelt was inaugurated as the 32nd president. At the time, the Carters lived on a farm in Archery. They moved there from Plains in 1928. June 7, 1937 Plains High School was designated by the state as a “model school” for rural education. Carter started his education at Plains in 1930. He liked school and was an excellent student. His favorite teacher was the school’s superintendent Miss Julia Coleman. June 2, 1941 After he completed the eleventh grade, Carter graduated from Plains High School. There was no twelfth grade at the time. His graduating class had 26 students. He then attended Georgia Southwestern College in nearby Americus for one year and then Georgia Tech in Atlanta for one year. February 13, 1942 Carter and three other students etched their names in the new driveway of the Wheatley Building at Georgia Southwestern College. The students were chosen for this honor because they possessed “strong leadership skills.” June 5, 1946 Carter graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland. He joined Ulysses Grant and Dwight Eisenhower as the only presidents to graduate from one of the military service academies. Grant and Eisenhower graduated from West Point. July 7, 1946 Carter married Rosalynn Smith at the Plains Methodist Church. July 3, 1947 John William (Jack) Carter, the first of the Carters’ four children, was born in Portsmouth, Virginia. November 2, 1948 Harry Truman, Carter’s favorite president, was elected to a full term in a dramatic upset victory. April 12, 1950 James Earl (Chip) Carter III, the second of the Carters’ four children, was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. August 18, 1952 Donnel Jeffrey (Jeff) Carter, the third of the Carters’ four children, was born in New London, Connecticut. July 22, 1953 His father Earl died at home from pancreatic cancer. After seven years in service, Carter decided to leave the U.S. Navy that fall and return home to Plains. May 17, 1954 In Brown v. Board of Education , The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously declared that state-mandated racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. November 23, 1955 Y. T. Sheffield, the principal at Plains High School, and the school’s board of trustees recommended the selection of Carter to fill a vacancy on the Sumter County Board of Education. A county grand jury formally elected him. December 6, 1955 Carter took his seat on the county school board. His father had previously held the seat until his death. July 5, 1960 Carter started his tenure as the chairman of the Sumter County school board. It was his first board meeting as “our new chairman.” July 18, 1961 Carter lost his first election – a countywide referendum on the consolidation of Sumter County public schools. As the chair of the school board, he led the pro-consolidation side. The next year, he decided to run for the state senate. October 1, 1962 On his birthday, Carter decided to run for the Georgia State Senate. October 16, 1962 The primary election for the Georgia State Senate, District 14, was held. Carter challenged the original vote count. He subsequently exposed election irregularities and fraud. He ultimately won the seat. January 7, 1963 Carter attended his last meeting as a member of the Sumter County school board. It was a called meeting with the Americus city board. Members met at Americus High School. January 14, 1963 Representing seven counties (Sumter, Webster, Stewart, Chattahoochee, Quitman, Randolph, Terrell), Carter was sworn in as a Georgia state senator. June 5, 1964 Senator Carter addressed graduates at Georgia Southwestern. November 3, 1964 Carter re-elected to the Georgia State Senate for another two-year term.
