Instead of satisfying cravings, unique vending machines across the country are being used to do some good this holiday season. They're called the “Giving Machines,” and these vending machines are filled with items for people in need and make donating to charity as easy as buying a snack. All you have to do is punch in the number for the item you want to donate and swipe your card. The rest is taken care of.Sharon Eubank, President of Latter-day Saints Charities, says the idea for the machines was born three years ago and they were first only placed in a couple locations, including Salt Lake City and New York City. “You know instead of having a vending machine where you would go and buy something for yourself, what if you could use a machine that could actually give something to somebody else?” said Eubank.Whether you have a few bucks to spare or are wanting to give back in a bigger way, the machines feature items of varying prices that you can choose from. Items range in price from to 0 and include everything from food, clothing, medicine, hygiene supplies, sporting equipment and livestock. All donations go to local and global charities.“So, there are some global partners, which include UNICEF, WaterAid, Water for People and Church World Service. They have outlets all over the world,” said Eubank. “But in every location, there’s also local charities so that you can buy things that benefit people right in the community where you live.”Eubank says almost all the charities in which the donations go to are actually outside The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which created the machines as part of its #LightTheWorld campaign. “This year we put in a few things that we donate to. But one of the great ideas about this is to say that there is so much polarization in our communities right now, what can we do that isn’t benefiting ourselves, but can build unity around the things that we all agree on?” said Eubank. “And so, we wanted to build these machines as a gift from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but to benefit, really other people, so it’s not viewed as self-serving. We want to do things that build bridges in our communities.”The church says 100 percent of donations go directly to its partner charities for the purchased items or services of greater need based on their discretion. According to Eubank, the church asks the organizations that receive the donations to stay within what people bought or there are acceptable substitutes. “So, you may buy a soccer ball, and maybe they don’t need soccer balls in that area, but what they really need are basketballs,” said Eubank. “So, we have an acceptable substitution list, which we let people know about, and then we give them the list of what was purchased and the total check.”Last year, the machines raised more than .3 million for local and global charities, according to Eubank. This year, she says there are 10 locations and the church’s goal is to raise million. As of Dec. 12, she said they had raised .438 million. “But the more important statistic to me is that there’ve been 101,000 individual transactions, so it isn’t so much that people donated a lot, but they donated a blanket or something small and 101,000 people decided, yeah I’ll do a 'Giving Machine' and so that to me is the greater statistic,” said Eubank. For those wanting to donate, the machines have been placed in these locations, where they’ll remain throughout the Christmas season:· Manila, Philippines—November 8 (TriNoma Mall)· Las Vegas, Nevada—November 14 (Downtown Summerlin)· Laie, Oahu, Hawaii—November 20 (Polynesian Cultural Center)· Gilbert, Arizona—November 20 (Water Tower Plaza)· Salt Lake City, Utah—November 26 (Joseph Smith Memorial Building)· Orem, Utah—November 26 (University Place Mall)· Denver, Colorado—November 26 (Writer Square)· San Jose, California—November 29 (Christmas in the Park)· New York, New York—December 3 (Manhattan New York Temple)· London, England—December 3 (Hyde Park Visitors’ Centre)For those who are considering making a donation using the machines, Eubank suggests bringing your children along for the experience.“If you want to engage your kids and your community in some of these big issues, and help them figure out that we can actually do something, we can influence some of these big problems in the world, take a kid with you and let them learn about it,” said Eubank.If you live in a location where there doesn’t happen to be a machine, Eubank says you can go to 4535

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For Steve and Lisa Tharp, family has four legs.Quigley, their 4-year-old miniature horse, was known for his huge, playful personality. He often took his antics to an elementary school in Bethany, Missouri, where he donned a Rudolph costume to visit the kids at Christmas.The mischievous miniature loved running through the pasture with his four-legged family. "He'll play these little games with me. After I'm done, he'll come up and kiss me on the cheek, every time," Steve Tharp said.On regular days, the Tharps have a routine. Once the horses are fed, Lisa sits on the ground to pet them and hand out treats."The last two nights, she's sitting out there and all these ponies, they'd all get around. There was one empty spot," Steve said.The spot belongs to Quigley. 799

Law enforcement officials on Sunday identified the man who killed seven people and wounded 22 others in a shooting spree in West Texas as Seth Ator, 36.Ator was arrested in 2001 for criminal trespass and evading arrest, both misdemeanors, according to public records. Adjudication was deferred, though the details of the case were not immediately available. His record also includes a 2018 traffic citation for a federal motor carrier safety violation, according to Ector County court records.Ator was pulled over by Texas troopers in Midland on Saturday afternoon for failing to use his signal, police said. He then shot at them with what police described as an AR-type weapon and sped away. Driving on streets and the highway, he sprayed bullets randomly at residents and motorists, police said.The man then hijacked a postal truck and ditched his gold Honda, shooting at people as he made his way into Odessa about 20 miles away. There, police confronted him in a movie theater parking lot and killed him in a shootout.Among the wounded were a 17-month-old girl and three law enforcement officers, hospital and police officials said.It's unclear what his motive was. Authorities say they believe the shooter acted alone.The attack during the busy Labor Day weekend put people on edge 1299

In Fort Collins, Colorado, there’s a place where athletes train seven days a week. The gym, run by Ryan Schultz, is called Trials Mixed Martial Arts and it’s not an ordinary gym.“This gym isn’t for your average person,” Schultz says “You’re going to be pushed here. You’re going to be tested. Overall, I think this place is for everybody. I think you just have to have the right mind set.” This gym is opened to athletes, and Schultz said that includes everyone. “If you’re an adaptive athlete, for example someone who had their leg removed, we have stuff for you as well here,” Schultz says. “But our mentality here is that there’s no laying down in life. Life doesn’t wait for anybody. I think that when people get a disease, or some sort of diagnosis it’s overwhelming for them and they tend to shut down. That’s more of the time to keep moving forward.” Schultz has multiple programs running through his gym. One of the programs was started by him and his friend Glenn Beach.“I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease five years ago,” Beach says. “And I’ve been training with Ryan to help treat it.” “Glenn brought to me the Rock Steady Program,” Schultz says. “I like Rock Steady, because they have research that proves this type of program works.”Rock Steady uses boxing to help those fighting Parkinson’s. Beach says this program changed his life. “I’ve had, I would say, a 100 percent improvement,” Beach says. “I had no control over my left hand. Now, I only have a subtle tremor every once in a while. It’s so much more manageable now, and a lot of it has to do with the training I got through Rock Steady.” The course is offered three times a week, and the workouts take about one hour. Beach says that the class does progress assessments every six to 12 months. According to the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation, it's estimated 1 million people in the United States are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. The foundation reports more than 60,000 people are diagnosed each year. 1999

Inside a converted warehouse here, one of the largest migrant processing facilities in the country, rows of undocumented migrants filled chain-link cells as of last week.The facility, designed to hold 1,500, was crammed with 2,200 migrants detained at the border. That's nearly double the number who were there last summer.The region's central processing facility, which was built in the wake of the unaccompanied crisis five years ago, is better equipped to care for families and children than most Border Patrol stations, but its limits are being tested.Despite the near-constant attention President Donald Trump and his administration have placed on the border, illegal immigration is on the rise, leading to serious overcrowding in detention facilities like this one."We are way over capacity," said a Border Patrol official while touring the facility in McAllen with CBP Deputy Commissioner Robert Perez.Customs and Border Protection facilities in the area are overflowing with migrants who can't be processed and transferred fast enough to make room for all the new people arrested for crossing the border illegally or seeking asylum at the ports.This backlog has led CBP to begin releasing some migrants with notices to appear in court. According to a CBP official, 50 people were released on March 19, with another 200 expected to be released on March 20. The releases are a "temporary measure" being implemented "to mitigate risks to both officer safety and vulnerable populations," said the official.Immigration and Customs Enforcement has also released families along the southern border due to capacity issues and the inability to hold families longer than 20 days.Both the ICE and new CBP policies are, in effect, "catch and release" policies that the Trump administration has criticized.Separately, DHS has begun returning some asylum seekers who arrive in California to Mexico for the duration of their immigration proceedings and has indicated it plans to expand the practice across the southern border. This policy is being challenged in court.A system overwhelmed againWhile illegal border crossings are on the rise, they have not reached the record highs from the early to mid-2000s, when apprehensions often hit more than 100,000 a month along the southern border.In February, the most recent month available, 66,450 people were apprehended on the southern border.But it's the changing demographics that US officials and agencies are struggling with. Fifteen years ago, the typical migrant apprehended at the southern border was a single male from Mexico who was then quickly returned to Mexico. Today, families and children make up the majority of apprehensions. They are predominantly from the Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.Today's situation is reminiscent of the wave of unaccompanied minors apprehended at the border in the summer of 2014. Back then, Border Patrol apprehended 10,620 unaccompanied minors in one month. This February, 6,825 unaccompanied children were apprehended, along with a record 36,174 family members.In the first five months of this fiscal year, there were 163,087 apprehensions of unaccompanied minors and families -- already more than in all of 2018, which was 157,248 for the entire year."It overwhelms the resources that I have," said Rio Grande Valley Chief Patrol Agent Rodolfo Karisch about the increase in families and children. "Out of every shift, I'm having to take 20% of my workforce and dedicate them to processing, dedicate them to hospital watch and transportation, so it is very taxing on our resources."Karisch said that as the summer months approach and temperatures rise, "rescue season" begins."I don't get extra personnel, given to me for the humanitarian mission, nor do I get extra personnel for the actual rescue operations, so all of those things are very taxing," said Karisch.The problem is particularly acute in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, already the busiest region for illegal border crossings in the country. Thirty-eight percent of all border apprehensions and 52% of marijuana seizures occur in this part of southern Texas, according to Karisch.The converted warehouseThe building in McAllen, a nondescript, beige facade, opens into warehouse space with large fenced-in cells used to divide migrants into different demographic groups- single adults, families, and unaccompanied children.Inside them, people lay next to each other under crinkling mylar blankets, others stand along the wire fence. The cement floor is lined with green gym mats. Two children pushed empty trash cans around, seemingly with nothing else to play with.One area held what appeared to be hundreds of children and parents, eating apples, potato chips and other snacks, and drinking from bottles of water and milk cartons.What to call these holding pens has become a contentious point of debate. While the CBP and Department of Homeland Security officials refer to them as "pods," Democratic lawmakers who criticize the Trump administration's have described them as cages. In a recent testimony before the House Homeland Security Committee, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said her department does not use cages to house migrant children when questioned by House Homeland Security Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Mississippi.CBP Deputy Commissioner Robert Perez says that calling them cages is a "mischaracterization of what the processing center actually is. It is a center that is there and meant for and indented to, in the most safest means possible, to take these most vulnerable populations and afford us as the front line law enforcement agency the best ability to deliver the care and processing that we are responsible to do for those very vulnerable populations.""That really struck me, the care with which our agents are taking care of this population," said Perez. "The other thing that struck me was, how saturated we are. A facility, very well-equipped, very well-resourced, nevertheless overwhelmed by the virtue of just the sheer numbers of people that we are seeing."The group, including CBP officials and two journalists, entered one of the cells, labeled "red pod C." There, an agent stood guard on top of a painted red structure, reminiscent of a lifeguard tower, and stood above to watch what was happening inside."We do have fights from time to time, which is why we have to have an open facility," said another Border Patrol official as we walked through the center.There are also laundry facilities and showers in the building -- not available at all of the stations in the region or across the border. CBP also purchases new clothing, which are given to migrants while their personal garments are being washed.A group of border agents assigned to handle unaccompanied minor cases worked feverishly at a long row of desks. Another row of desks, although empty when CNN was there, are meant for consular officers that can help US officials determine if the documents brought by migrants, primarily from Central American countries, are legitimate."This needs to be a whole of government, regional problem, not just CBP and DHS," said one of the officials on the tour.Length of stayThe goal is to move people out of the processing center and other Border Patrol facilities within 72 hours, but that doesn't always happen."Some of these folks have been sitting here for days, not hours," said a senior Border Patrol official on the walkthrough.The average length of stay in the facility is currently 60 hours, but that drops to 32 hours for families, according to the official.The McAllen center was designed to temporarily house migrants so they can be processed and transferred to other agencies. Families and adults are generally released to Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, while unaccompanied children are transferred to the Department of Health and Human Services.Although agents want to move people out the center as quickly as possible, the short turnaround presents another problem -- how to verify familial relationships.For example, even if a document is determined to be legitimate, agents have to determine whether it's fraudulent. Additionally, only children older than 14 are fingerprinted, leaving a gap in the biometric data that can be gathered.After a couple hours touring the facility and border in McAllen, Perez noted that it's not just the Border Patrol facilities, but the entire US immigration system that is backlogged. "The system is overwhelmed," he said.The border and the portsLater that day, about 10 miles away from the McAllen processing center, agents lined up a group of about a migrants just apprehended near the Anzalduas International Bridge along the border with Mexico. Agents asked all the migrants for their information and documents. Among those apprehended were Xiomara and her adolescent son. She said they fled extortion and death threats in her home country of Guatemala."They give you days to give them the money, and if not, they'll kill you," she said in Spanish.At the time Xiomara and her son were encountered, Border Patrol had apprehended 600 people for the day. By the end of the day, 1,420 people had been taken into custody -- making it the second-busiest day in the sector since 2014.Several miles to the east, the Hidalgo Port of Entry was also overwhelmed with asylum-seekers. On Friday, there were 77 migrants in the 35-person capacity facility."How do we handle this many people?" asked the CBP official giving a tour of the port.The port has converted its offices into holding facilities for families and uses its original holding cells for bathrooms. Inside the port, there was a closet filled with Pedialyte, Nestle formula, children's clothing and other goods.At night, officers put down mats and provide blankets so migrants have somewhere to sleep.Migrants are sent to various processing facilities in the area depending on which facility has availability. However, agents aim to send all unaccompanied minors to the central processing center in McAllen."Especially right now" the region's facilities are overcapacity, said Chief Karisch, adding the Border Patrol stations and the processing center in McAllen are "exactly what they are --processing, short-term holding facilities," he said. 10299
