gstar28 legit Former President Jimmy Carter through the years MOUNT ZION — If you wanted to meet former President Jimmy Carter, who died on Sunday at the age of 100, you could, but you had to attend his Sunday school class first. Former President Jimmy Carter welcomes visitors June 8, 2014, at Maranatha Baptist Church before teaching Sunday school in Plains, Ga. Jan Williams, who had been his daughter Amy Carter's fourth grade teacher, accompanied the Carters to the White House to serve as Amy's tutor after the president was elected in 1976. She remained close to the family and in charge of the Plains (Ga.) Inn, where tourists who wanted to visit Carter's hometown usually stayed. “She arranges for tourists to come in, and if you want a chance to meet and get a picture with them, you have to follow her rules and you have to come to Sunday school (at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains). That was his stipulation,” said Rich Hansen, who teaches history and choir at Mount Zion High School. Hansen sings with a barbershop quartet and leads barbershop groups at the high school. Another teacher, now retired, told him that if he wanted to meet a former president, visiting Plains was the easiest way to accomplish it. “A year or two later, I was in that general vicinity,” Hansen said. “You don't have to make a reservation. You just wait in line. There's a lot of people that do this. "After I got the chance to meet him the first time, I arranged a return visit with the gospel quartet, I called Jan and said, 'Would you like music for your service sometime?'” Former President Jimmy Carter, left, and former first lady Rosalynn Carter, right, flank the members of the 2013-14 girls' quartet and mixed ensemble from Mount Zion High School in Illinois during a visit in Plains, Ga. The students, from left, are Kaitlyn Chisenall, Miranda Richards, Tawni Williams, Ali Scogin, Meredith Jones, Maddy Johnston, Madison Stoecker, Logan Schmidt, Bryant Lane and Brandon Lane. Plains holds an annual Peanut Festival since the town is largely supported by peanut farming, and Hansen thought it would be worth scheduling a visit for the girls' quartet and the mixed ensemble from Mount Zion High School. “We did a little fundraising and sang for some groups and raised some money and went down there in September 2013,” Hansen said. “It was an awesome experience. The kids sang and walked up and down the street. "Plains has 500 people normally, but during the festival they have thousands in. (President) Carter would do book signings and there was a train to his boyhood home and the girls sang for that. That Sunday morning, we got a chance to sing during the service.” Mount Zion High School teacher Rich Hansen, left, met Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter during a visit to Plains, Ga. Logan Schmidt, now a music teacher at Jefferson Elementary School in Charleston, was part of that group in his senior year at Mount Zion High School. “After the service, we were able to meet them up close, and I got to sing for them as lead soloist on 'Georgia on My Mind,' which was quite special,” Schmidt said. The former president was kind and soft-spoken, Schmidt said. Former first lady Rosalynn Carter was the more animated and talkative of the two. Mrs. Carter died Nov. 19, 2023, at the age of 96. Hansen doesn't make a habit of talking about the event to his students, he said, but when the matter of Carter entering hospice care in February 2023 came up, he did tell his choir students about meeting him and how everyone made the visitors feel at home. “They make everyone feel like family down there,” he said.

49ers QB Brock Purdy resumes throwing but status for this week remains unknown1. A simple-yet-magnificent lid organizer so gone are the days of cursing out the avalanche of Tupperware lids as they tumble to the ground or elude you just when you need them the most. Promising review: "This product does exactly what it's supposed to and does it well. In under 15 minutes I took my nightmare lid drawer and turned it into a functional, convenient storage space. The dividers were simple to install and provided flexibility. Slowly but surely I am getting my tiny, chaotic kitchen under control, and this got me a huge leap closer." — S. Hawthorn Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in four sizes and packs). 2. A remarkably sturdy Command spray bottle mount to free up storage space and avoid the dreaded "spray bottles as dominoes" situation that can often happen when you knock one over under the sink. And like regular Command products, they won't peel off paint once they're removed! Promising review: "Let's face it, Command products ROCK! This was perfect for our truck camper, under the sink, to hold a small, refillable spray bottle of 409 to clean the kitchen. It has literally hung by this Command hanger for 3,000 miles now — bumpy roads, up and down hills, you name it. Everywhere we've gone, and neither the bottle nor the Command hanger have ever been found down. Still hanging in there like the day I stuck it. Works AWESOME!!!! It also keeps the bottle out of the way by tucking it up to one side under the sink. PERFECT!" — Jenn Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.77 . 3. A well-disguised coffee pod tray so you can stay well-stocked on your favorite brew without committing to 50% of your counter space housing Keurig pods. Includes: 3M double-sided mounting, self-adhesive tape, and spacers for different cabinet sizes. Promising review: "Love these things! Best thing I impulse bought on Amazon. I didn't want a tray thing or a stand thing for coffee pods that would take up more counter space I don't have. Using a drawer is out of the question, too. Enter the E-Z Shelf by Perfect Pod! Exactly what I needed and wanted. I was hesitant after seeing reviews saying they it won't stay closed. I have been using these things twice a day since I got them in my hot lil' hands, and they are still working perfectly! No problems with pods not fitting, shelf not closing, or not sticking to the under-cabinet like other reviewers! They work perfectly! Don't know why more people don't want these, as they are super handy for us with little counter spaces! Update: It's been a year and these are still in perfect shape and used everyday with no problems! Still highly recommended! " — Grave237 Get it from Amazon for $19.99 . 4. A stackable cutlery organizer that will keep your flatware in place and won't take up your entire drawer. That's precious real estate! One tray fits up to 24 pieces of cutlery. Promising review: "THE BEST silverware storage organizer compartments I’ve EVER had in my entire life! We have a large family and therefore have the need for a lot of silverware. Unfortunately we have a small shallow and narrow drawer in our house but it was always full! Constantly disorganized before, and now amazingly organized. The only reason I would hesitate would be if your drawer is not adequately deep, but from reading reviews people said if they had 3.5 inches of depth it would be just fine, which is exactly what I have and there’s adequate drawer depth for me. I measured my skinny drawer and realized I still had space for two units and took the plunge and am so glad I did! Silverware goes quickly from the dishwasher straight into the drawer and you don’t have to stack perfectly to put a lot in!!! ADD IT TO YOUR CART NOW, you’ll be glad you did if you have the same problem as we did! " — oceantiff Get it from Amazon for $11.98 . 5. A deliciously retro storage locker from Mustard Made if you could use another closet laying around. Clothes, tools, linens, books, all that hobby stuff you have no place to store...all would look killer in this trendy unit, which by the way comes in 12 stunning colors. (Good luck picking.) Promising review: "I knew this was going to be a cute storage solution but what I was SUPER impressed about was the assembly process! This was so well designed, and was so easy to put together, and you can put this together yourself. Plus the instructions were really easy to follow!" — Wendy Get it from Mustard Made for $449.25 (originally $599; available in 12 colors). 6. Two inconspicuous slide-out drawers that magically turn your drawer-less desk into a piece of furniture with actual storage space. Pens and desk accessories finally have a home! You could also use these under a dining room table for cloth napkins and utensils. Endless possibilities! Promising review: "This product works exactly as I'd hoped and is now neatly under my desk without taking up so much room that I bump it or knock it off when I sit down. Adhesive stuck on easily and feels very sturdy. Remember to be realistic in terms of the weight of objects you put in these drawers (i.e. don't fill it with heavy items and then get upset when the adhesive wears down quickly). Pens, paperclips, Post-Its, earbuds, and scissors all fit in mine and I will definitely buy these again for our other desks. " — Shopping Mama Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three colors). And here are some other options for under-desk storage that'll whip your WFH space into shape! 7. A waterfall hanger solution for anyone who has a "more is more" approach when it comes to their precious clothing collection. These will help you stave off a clothing purge for another year at LEAST. Just look at all that new usable space! Promising review: "Not sure why I didn’t expect them to work as well as it sounds...but they absolutely work as well as they sound! Makes MUCH more room in my closet. I used for purses, jackets, tank tops, dresses and has been holding very well. When I need something, just push the others aside and raise up the one I need. Very pleased with my purchase!" — Dennis A. Evans Get a four-pack on Amazon for $11.99+ (available in five different pack quantities). 8. A simple yet remarkable felt purse insert that make organizing your bag an actual possibility, at long last. You can't blame yourself for having a messy purse when it doesn't come with any pockets in the first place. Phew, your glasses are gonna be so much easier to find. And this comes in so many shades you'll easily find one to match the interior of any of your bags! Promising review: "When you spend a LOT of money on a good bag, the last thing you need is a pen to leak or a dirty mark to ruin the lining. I couldn’t believe my luck when I discovered the EXACT product I was thinking of right here. I have the Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM with a light pink lining I wanted to protect, and right here a pink liner fits perfectly. You can remove the middle section if you wish, to hold more books, folder etc or keep it in (it has hook and loop strips at each end to hold it in place). I love that everything has a place — including a zipped compartment and the key strap lanyard, and of course if you want to change bags you can just lift it out and place all those essentials right into another. Highly recommend this item." — BritGirlUSA Get it from Amazon for $15.86+ (available in sizes S–XL and 18 colors). 9. A wall-mounted toothbrush holder and dispenser to help clear some of the clutter from your bathroom countertop — all the more important if you're stuck with a beautiful but sadly storage-less pedestal sink. This game changer includes a toothbrush dispenser (which means less product waste!), four cups and holders, and a place to store your toothbrushes! Talk about a quick-fix bathroom product ! Promising review: "I love this item! I saw it originally on TikTok and thought it would be perfect for our bathroom! We have one bathroom upstairs and five people who use it. This cleared up so much counter space for us! There are ventilation holes where the cups go to help make sure they dry properly. The toothpaste dispenser has really been working to get every last drop out of the tube. Would definitely recommend for a family or kids bathroom. There is also a little storage compartment behind the toothpaste that is great for extra brushes, Q-Tips, or flossers. " — Sariyah J Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in three colors). 10. A set of clear stackable drawers whose applications are virtually limitless. From the pantry, to the office, to the bathroom, your loose goods will be neat, accessible, and still visible — the triple crown of organization. Promising review: "These drawers are just what I needed to organize loose items under my bathroom counter! They fit all of my nail polish perfectly. I wasn't expecting them to look so nice, and had planned to put them under the sink. I was very surprised by the quality and have kept them on my counter for easier access. I'm very happy with these drawers and I'm going to buy a couple more to stack under my sink. Since they can be customized by stacking, they're a great way to organize around those annoying pipes under the sink. " — Katie Steinberg Get a set of two from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three sizes). 11. Drawer organizers — some with specific storage cells — to get your sock and undie drawer looking fresh. Bonus points if you purge this drawer of all your old, holey stuff before you put everything away again. Each set comes with four bins: a six-cell (for scarves, hankies, and ties), an eight-cell (for undies), a seven-cell (for bras), and a 24-cell (for socks). They're also collapsable and fold flat if you need to store them away! Promising review: "No matter how neatly I fold my bras and underwear, they always seem to become a big jumble in the drawer. These organizers are perfect for keeping everything in place , and you won't forget about those items you own that end up buried at the back." — M. Hanson Get the set of four from Amazon for $14.87 (available in seven colors). 12. A makeup organizer because it's about time you move your collection out of that free bag you got when you were 13! Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor AnaMaria Glavan uses this and raves about it! Here's what she has to say: " This nifty little organizer looks beautiful, can fit ALL of my everyday makeup, and (drumroll please) it keeps clutter at bay in my bathroom — which is extremely tiny. I can fit so 👏 damn 👏 much 👏 inside of this four-drawered thing. Here are all the products that I currently have in there: 32 lipsticks, six blushes and bronzers, two large highlighter sticks, one foundation bottle, three concealers, two contouring sticks, two rollerball perfumes, two primers, and the bottom drawer contains so many lip pencils, eyeliners, and eyeshadow sticks that I didn't even bother counting. But the real winner winner chicken dinner here? I have easy access to all the makeup I use every single day and can see all of it at once. I don't have to dig around the bottomless pit that is one of my many, many makeup bags anymore — I just have to open and close a drawer ." And if you need more convincing, check out her full Ikee Design makeup organizer review for more deets! Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in two colors). 13. A coat rack and storage shelf to finally get your entryway under control. No more throwing your backpack onto the floor and scattering your shoes to the wind as soon as you step in the door, you hear me? Some reviewers talk about this piece being a little smaller than they expected, so make sure you check the dimensions to make sure it's what you're looking for! Promising review: "Love love love! The finish on the hall tree is beautiful and it looks great in the entry way. For such a big piece it was easy to assemble and has plenty of storage!" — Anonymous Get it from Wayfair for $225.99+ (originally $509.99+; available in three colors). 14. A shirt folder that, if you work in retail, may be your store enemy. But if you're in the comfort of your own home and treating yourself to a neat, organized drawer, is the key to laundry day bliss (and some saved space). Promising review: "My first reaction was 'Why did I buy this?' because when I opened the box and wasn't too convinced by the way it looked. Then I gave it a try with a couple of shirts I had just washed and next thing you know I simply had to do my entire drawer! Everything folds so pretty, neat, and easy. I still couldn't believe it, so I ended up organizing our bedsheets and towels. I am amazed at how much of a game changer this is. It's a must-try! I am in love with how beautiful it leaves my clothes. " — Jesus Antonio Vedia Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five colors). 15. A hanging cabinet door organizer to keep cutting boards, plastic wrap, and plastic bags out of the way. That one weird skinny cabinet was just NOT working for you. Promising review: "This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I've been doing everything I can to make sure there's a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble and it's completely versatile. Hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it's great for renters and owners. " — Kerry Get it from Amazon for $16.97+ (also available as a two-pack). 16. A transparent nail polish organizing case because nail art Instagram is A Thing, but maybe nail polish storage Instagram should be, too? Promising review: "There are PERFECT for organizing and storing your nail polishes and tools. You can organize them by color, brand, season, however you want! The polishes take up less space and you can clearly see them and choose what you want for your next mani. Also, you can store them upright just like salons do. They're perfect!" — Arielle Mansion Get it from Amazon for $21.98 (available in three colors). 17.

Promising review: "I’m pretty sure I’ve never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one. This product is EXTREMELY well-made and very unique. Plus it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband’s pile of technology, the money was well spent!" — AmazonEmme Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $29+ (available in 14 colors or a custom color option and in lengths 3–29 inches). 19. A hanger stacker to keep your closet or bedroom floor from looking like a game of pick up sticks. Your room deserves this level of before and after after all the mess you've subjected it to. This simple structure arranges them in a system so you can easily grab one and hang without the headache. Promising review : "Working in retail for a million years, I know how amazing these can be in keeping your life less chaotic! I put off ordering for months, and I'm mad at myself that I did, because these beat a box of hangers hands down! I ordered two, one for dress/shirt hangers and one for skirt/pant hangers. They arrived today, seem to be made of the same metal that I've used in retail stores, appear to be sturdy, and are super easy to assemble! The only thing I had to stop and think about is which side of the base should face up. It comes with all the hardware and tools for assembly. A great buy! " — KatieLee333 Get it from Amazon for $35.59 . 20. A gravity-defying bookshelf that turns books (the most beautiful things of all!) into storage units in and of themselves. Promising review : "These are so much fun! We ordered the small size, which fits standard hardback books (approximately five to seven hardbacks in my experience). They're a great way to add some extra storage to our very small home, and we've placed them in our hallway so people ask us about them all the time. I'd highly recommend!" — LaBuenaVidaMere Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes, two finishes, and in singles or packs of three).

I have a very busy workspace at home, with two monitors and a tablet and big keyboard, speakers, NAS drive, etc., and it was very cluttered. But with these I managed to clean it up A TON. Now it looks much nicer, is much cleaner, and safer. Definitely would recommend getting these if you have a bunch of stray cables hanging around your desk area and such.

The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.A court challenge over a Stormont vote on extending post-Brexit trading arrangements for Northern Ireland has been dismissed, and the Assembly debate will go ahead as planned on Tuesday. Ruling on Monday after an emergency hearing at Belfast High Court, judge Mr Justice McAlinden rejected loyalist activist Jamie Bryson’s application for leave for a full judicial review hearing against Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn. The judge said Mr Bryson, who represented himself as a personal litigant, had “very ably argued” his case with “perseverance and cogency”, and had raised some issues of law that caused him “some concern”. However, he found against him on the three grounds of challenge against Mr Benn. Mr Bryson had initially asked the court to grant interim relief in his challenge to prevent Tuesday’s democratic consent motion being heard in the Assembly, pending the hearing of a full judicial review. However, he abandoned that element of his leave application during proceedings on Monday, after the judge made clear he would be “very reluctant” to do anything that would be “trespassing into the realms” of a democratically elected Assembly. Mr Bryson had challenged Mr Benn’s move to initiate the democratic consent process that is required under the UK and EU’s Windsor Framework deal to extend the trading arrangements that apply to Northern Ireland. The previously stated voting intentions of the main parties suggest that Stormont MLAs will vote to continue the measures for another four years when they convene to debate the motion on Tuesday. After the ruling, Mr Bryson told the court he intended to appeal to the Court of Appeal. Any hearing was not expected to come later on Monday. In applying for leave, the activist’s argument was founded on three key grounds. The first was the assertion that Mr Benn failed to make sufficient efforts to ensure Stormont’s leaders undertook a public consultation exercise in Northern Ireland before the consent vote. The second was that the Secretary of State allegedly failed to demonstrate he had paid special regard to protecting Northern Ireland’s place in the UK customs territory in triggering the vote. The third ground centred on law changes introduced by the previous UK government earlier this year, as part of its Safeguarding the Union deal to restore powersharing at Stormont. He claimed that if the amendments achieved their purpose, namely, to safeguard Northern Ireland’s place within the United Kingdom, then it would be unlawful to renew and extend post-Brexit trading arrangements that have created economic barriers between the region and the rest of the UK. In 2023, the UK Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the trading arrangements for Northern Ireland are lawful. The appellants in the case argued that legislation passed at Westminster to give effect to the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement conflicted with the 1800 Acts of Union that formed the United Kingdom, particularly article six of that statute guaranteeing unfettered trade within the UK. The Supreme Court found that while article six of the Acts of Union has been “modified” by the arrangements, that was done with the express will of a sovereign parliament, and so therefore was lawful. Mr Bryson contended that amendments made to the Withdrawal Agreement earlier this year, as part of the Safeguarding the Union measures proposed by the Government to convince the DUP to return to powersharing, purport to reassert and reinforce Northern Ireland’s constitutional status in light of the Supreme Court judgment. He told the court that it was “quite clear” there was “inconsistency” between the different legal provisions. “That inconsistency has to be resolved – there is an arguable case,” he told the judge. However, Dr Tony McGleenan KC, representing the Government, described Mr Bryson’s argument as “hopeless” and “not even arguable”. He said all three limbs of the case had “no prospect of success and serve no utility”. He added: “This is a political argument masquerading as a point of constitutional law and the court should see that for what it is.” After rising to consider the arguments, Justice McAlinden delivered his ruling shortly after 7pm. The judge dismissed the application on the first ground around the lack consultation, noting that such an exercise was not a “mandatory” obligation on Mr Benn. On the second ground, he said there were “very clear” indications that the Secretary of State had paid special regard to the customs territory issues. On the final ground, Justice McAlinden found there was no inconsistency with the recent legislative amendments and the position stated in the Supreme Court judgment. “I don’t think any such inconsistency exists,” he said. He said the amendments were simply a “restatement” of the position as set out by the Supreme Court judgment, and only served to confirm that replacing the Northern Ireland Protocol with the Windsor Framework had not changed the constitutional fact that Article Six of the Acts of Union had been lawfully “modified” by post-Brexit trading arrangements. “It does no more than that,” he said. The framework, and its predecessor the NI Protocol, require checks and customs paperwork on goods moving from Great Britain into Northern Ireland. Under the arrangements, which were designed to ensure no hardening of the Irish land border post-Brexit, Northern Ireland continues to follow many EU trade and customs rules. This has proved highly controversial, with unionists arguing the system threatens Northern Ireland’s place in the United Kingdom. Advocates of the arrangements say they help insulate the region from negative economic consequences of Brexit. A dispute over the so-called Irish Sea border led to the collapse of the Northern Ireland Assembly in 2022, when the DUP withdrew then-first minister Paul Givan from the coalition executive. The impasse lasted two years and ended in January when the Government published its Safeguarding the Union measures. Under the terms of the framework, a Stormont vote must be held on articles five to 10 of the Windsor Framework, which underpin the EU trade laws in force in Northern Ireland, before they expire. The vote must take place before December 17. Based on the numbers in the Assembly, MLAs are expected to back the continuation of the measures for another four years, even though unionists are likely to oppose the move. DUP leader Gavin Robinson has already made clear his party will be voting against continuing the operation of the Windsor Framework. Unlike other votes on contentious issues at Stormont, the motion does not require cross-community support to pass. If it is voted through with a simple majority, the arrangements are extended for four years. In that event, the Government is obliged to hold an independent review of how the framework is working. If it wins cross-community support, which is a majority of unionists and a majority of nationalists, then it is extended for eight years. The chances of it securing such cross-community backing are highly unlikely.
