Two mega-churches in Prince George’s County, Maryland, had the idea that people may be more comfortable handing their guns over in their place of worship.On Saturday, Zion Church and First Baptist Church of Glenarden in Upper Marlboro held a gun buyback event in partnership with Prince George’s County Police.“It really is a partnership to help galvanize our work in coming together to help make the community safer in working in partnership with the police,” said Madye Henson-McCannon, Zion Church’s chief external engagements and impact officer. “The church is a trusted place for many people to come. And with that we wanted to allow ourselves to be really that venue to help get guns off of the street.”Henson-McCannon said this has been a partnership since 2016 and, in the last two years, the churches have been able to collect over 425 guns and gifted more than $52,000 to the community.In exchange for each gun, participants receive cash card gifts depending on the type of gun.

(CNN) — Una fan de Taylor Swift murió el viernes por la noche antes del show Eras Tour en Río de Janeiro, Brasil, dijo la cantante en Instagram.“No puedo creer que esté escribiendo estas palabras, pero es con el corazón destrozado que digo que perdimos a una fan esta noche temprano antes de mi show”, dijo Swift. “Ni siquiera puedo decirles lo devastada que estoy por esto. Tengo muy poca información, aparte del hecho de que era increíblemente guapa y demasiado joven”.El viernes fue el primer concierto de Swift en Río de Janeiro, que está experimentando altas temperaturas, según el Instituto Nacional de Meteorología de Brasil.“No voy a poder hablar de esto desde el escenario porque me siento abrumada por el dolor cuando siquiera intento hablar de ello”, dijo Swift. “Quiero decir ahora que siento profundamente esta pérdida y que mi corazón roto está con su familia y amigos. Esto es lo último que pensé que pasaría cuando decidimos traer es...La caída de los precios puede sonar bien, pero la deflación puede ser peligrosa. Esta es la razón

(CNN) — Tras más de dos años de subidas rápidas de precios, los descuentos en algunas tiendas se sienten como un respiro muy necesario.Pero los líderes empresariales, economistas y magnates de la inversión no son tan optimistas al respecto.La inversora en tecnología Cathie Wood, fundadora de ARK Investment Management, declaró a The Wall Street Journal en un artículo publicado el miércoles que está más preocupada por la deflación, cuando los precios caen, que por la inflación. “Cada vez vemos más signos” de la deflación, dijo.La caída de los precios de materias primas como el cobre y la madera “afectó negativamente” a los beneficios de Home Depot en el tercer trimestre, dijo el CEO Ted Decker a los inversores en la llamada de resultados de la empresa a principios de esta semana.“Por ejemplo, la media de la madera de construcción era de unos US$ 420 por cada 1.000 pies tablares, frente a los US$ 545 del tercer trimestre de 2022, lo que representa un...The Final Drive: A look at the closing weeks of Pac-12 football

The final football season for the Pac-12 with its current membership is coming to a thrilling conclusion.Four teams still have hopes of advancing to the conference title game in Las Vegas on Dec. 1, while Washington and Oregon still have hopes of getting the Pac-12 its first College Football Playoff berth since 2016.Even though there is plenty of excitement on the field, there remain some who are sad about the breakup of the conference, along with the end of traditional rivalries The Associated Press is taking a look at the final weeks through the eyes of players, coaches, broadcasters and longtime fans.Erickson: “It’s sad, and I think it’s ridiculous, to be very honest”As the former coach at both Oregon State and Washington State, Dennis Erickson has strong feelings about the demise of the Pac-12 as we know it.“To me it’s sad, and I think it’s ridiculous, to be very honest.

With the sun setting in San Diego, California, on Nov. 10, Washington Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury had enough of the shenanigans.At the first-ever Skills Challenge event by the National Women’s Soccer League, Kingsbury watched as event ‘officials’ lost count of the score to help the opposing Western conference team catch up during the crossbar event.As soon as the opposition officially tied the proceedings, Kingsbury called the game: launching an over-40-yard blast toward the goal post. Once the ball clanged off the post and smacked the pitch, the rest of the Eastern Conference team erupted into celebration around the goalkeeper.“I came to win, so that was very gratifying,” Kingsbury said. “Especially after they lost count, so I was like, ‘OK, I’ll show them. Time to end this right now.'”The Spirit’s captain was the star of the Skills Challenge, stopping three of four shooters in the shootout challenge before capping ...Las Vegas Grand Prix offer of a $200 discount doesn’t go far
Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 12:22:05 GMT
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas Grand Prix officials took steps to mend relations with Formula One fans who were angered or disappointed about not getting what they paid for Thursday night by offering those with single-event tickets a $200 discount at the official gift shop.Two problems.The offer doesn’t apply to the majority of fans who purchased three-day passes. And the $200 gesture doesn’t go far — at all.There are a number of ways, though, to take advantage of the $200.Someone could spend it all on one item, such as a quarter-zip racing team pullover, but that doesn’t cover the roughly 8% Nevada sales tax. For a little more bang for the buck, consider a $160 racing team sweatshirt and a $40 Las Vegas Grand Prix baseball cap, though again the tax would be on the consumer.The merchandise tent is split into the more expensive team merch on the right side and the bargain-bin-by-comparison general Las Vegas Grand Prix items on the left.So to make $200 go the furthest, c...Una estación de esquí italiana cerrada por el cambio climático planea reabrir con nieve artificial. No todo el mundo está contento

(CNN) — Pocas cosas hacen mejor los italianos que soñar a lo grande contra viento y marea. Por ejemplo, el plan multimillonario que se lleva preparando desde los años 90 para construir el puente colgante más largo del mundo sobre el estrecho de Mesina, en el corazón de la tierra de la mafia. O la existencia misma de la ciudad de Venecia, construida sobre un sistema de lagunas que ahora está mejor protegido de los fenómenos meteorológicos extremos gracias a unas compuertas mecánicas que tardaron más de 20 años en realizarse.Ahora, los planes para construir unas instalaciones de esquí multimillonarias en una montaña sin nieve del norte de Italia pueden resultar igual de desafiantes.Se trata del monte San Primo, un precioso promontorio de 1.682 metros de altitud desde el que se divisa gran parte del paisaje del extremo norte del lago de Como. La pintoresca ciudad empedrada de Bellagio, en su base, es conocida como la “perla” del lago por su belleza, que ha atraído a c...5 times Biden’s off-the-cuff remarks have landed him in diplomatic hot water
Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 12:22:05 GMT
President Joe Biden is known for his loose, off-the-cuff comments. Many have been inconsequential gaffes — an awkward turn of phrase or a moment of embarrassing honesty about his personal life.Then there are times when Biden has said the quiet part out loud, including on key foreign policy matters. His blunt remarks have prompted pushback from world leaders and attempts to correct the record from State Department and White House officials.Since becoming president, Biden has repeatedly revealed his inner thinking on sensitive matters of diplomacy and national security, even on issues where his advisers and appointees attempt to maintain strict messaging discipline. He has seldom actually contradicted official policy, but his comments give observers insights into the worries latent in his administration’s relationships with Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Northern Ireland.The White House and State Department did not return POLITICO’s requests for comment.Here are a few of the times B...Taylor Swift mourns fan who died before concert in Brazil

A Taylor Swift fan died Friday night before an “Eras Tour” show in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the singer said on Instagram Stories.“I can’t believe I’m writing these words but it is with a shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show,” Swift said. “I can’t even tell you how devastated I am by this. There’s very little information I have other than the fact that she was so incredibly beautiful and far too young.”The circumstances surrounding the death are unclear.Friday marked Swift’s first show in Rio de Janeiro, which is experiencing high temperatures, according to Brazil’s National Institute of Meteorology.“I’m not going to be able to speak about this from stage because I feel overwhelmed by grief when I even try to talk about it,” Swift said. “I want to say now I feel this loss d...Latest news
