(All the content will be in English, if you need Spanish translation, please send us an email to plainandgamestudio we will be happy to help)
First of all, thank you very much for your interest in "Elliot". It is amazing for us to find a group of people willing to play our small game (an alpha demo for now).
The demo is composed of 6 levels so you can have a first impression of the art, level design, music and game mechanics. You can play either with keyboard + mouse or gamepad, but we would recommend gamepad as the experience is designed for it.
Inside the "zip" file you will find the executable plus 2 pictures showing the controls.
Play as much as you want and try to beat every level, collecting every note, it will be a bit difficult at first, but we know you will master the controls.
This is our first presentation after Madrid Games Week some months ago. If you were there, you will find a very similar, but more polished demo, a new level, and some other changes coming from the feedback we collected there.
Thank you again for your support, and please, if you want to help us even further, at the end of the email you can find a Google Forms to be filled in with your feedback. We are really looking forward to it!
We hope you have a nice time with the demo! And if you have any major problem, doubt or just want to chat, drop us a line at plainandgamestudio

A "stressed" father shook his three-month-old son so hard he broke his legs and caused him permanent brain damage.
The 26-year-old man has been jailed for three years and four months for the vicious attack.
The defendant had previously admitted causing a child to suffer serious physical harm during proceedings at Birmingham Crown Court.
His former wife, 24, who had admitted allowing a child to suffer serious physical harm, was sentenced to 16 months suspended for two years.
Both the mother and father cannot be named for legal reasons.
Judge James Burbidge QC said: "He was born prematurely so he was detained in hospital until the second week in February.
"He was discharged into the care of both of you. You both had an overriding responsibility to ensure he was cared for.
"By April 19, just three-and-a-half months of his short life, he had suffered a number of appalling injuries.
"There is clear evidence the child had been shaken on more than one occasion."
The judge said the injuries he suffered would have a "long-lasting effect, probably for life."
He told the father: "To any parent, to any adult it is incomprehensible how you could so devastatingly abuse a child in this manner."
However he said he accepted that the child's mother had been under the influence of her husband.
Sharon Bahia, prosecuting at Birmingham Crown Court, said the female defendant had come to the UK on a student visa, met her husband in Birmingham and gave birth to the boy on January 1 last year.
According to records the baby cried a lot and had difficulty feeding because of nasal problems.
Miss Bahia said the couple were homeless and that the child had been taken to hospital on a number of occasions.
X-rays revealed that the boy had suffered fractures to both his legs consistent with "forceful pulling or twisting or shaking."
MRI and CT scans also showed bleeding on the baby's brain.
Miss Bahia said the child, now aged 22 months, suffered from cerebral palsy, could only sit for short periods and would have to wear glasses and a hearing aid.
Darron Whitehead, for the father, said "He and his partner married quickly and she fell pregnant quickly. Perhaps he was not ready."
He said he had been having problems getting agency work and went on "He became stressed and tried to juggle both his son and the agency work and we know the consequences of that stress."
Sharon Bailey, for the mother, said she had "shut her eyes to what had been obvious."

Some times we are think to add only Android Apps on windows which provides awesome user interface for our home based or professional works. Nothing is that only Android Apps also provide some additional views and software's which works like rich operating system for smartphones and majority cellphone companies. Here we discuss that how to run Android Ice Cream Sandwich and its apps on windows.
The good thing is that now we can use WindowsAndroid easily on the Windows OS with ignorance of all difficulties. Its works without any simulator like VirtaulBox that's why it would be fast to run on system. WindowsAndroid works as Windows Kernel so you can run any type of Android apps and 3D Games once you download and install it on your computer.
If you want to know my own experience than WindowsAndroid has been so good for me till now. I used many apps and they worked great however it crashed most of the time as it is still in test mode. Here I mentioned you that Google Play is not supported by this application which is why you need to install apps on this tool via other solutions. ICS starts with the same unlock screen as seen in mobile phones. You can use your mouse to unlock the lock screen to enter the home screen.
Finally, when to install apps, you can paste the APK files of the apps into data/app folder that you will find in the installation directory of WindowsAndroid. Once you place the APK in the data/app folder, you can access them via WindowsAndroid ICS and install them directly. here the best thing is that this is the most original version of ICS and it doesn't include any custom work. WindowsAndroid is one of the best way to avail all Android apps on your computer system without any hesitation and software's configuration. Developers may also use this amazing Applications as for testing their apps.

What to do After You've Created a New Website
By Zukais
So you've just created your website, now what?
Well there are a few things that you should do right after you've created your site.
Before you publish your first blog post, there are a few things you need to do.
In this post, I'll be going over those few things and telling you exactly how to do them step by step.
Take the date out of your URL
It's a big mistake keeping the date in your URL.
Because it hurts your chances of ranking on Google and getting traffic from it.
If you have an old post, people may think it's irrelevant and bounce away from the page or not click on it in the first place because they saw the URL.
So how do I take the date out of my URL?
It's actually very straightforward to do. If you're using WordPress, simply go to settings and permalinks. Tick the post name option and click save.
And there you have it. This problem won't bother you again.
Download an SEO plugin
What is SEO?
SEO stands for search engine optimization and it's the act of putting pages on the search engines for search terms.
By doing this, you'll be getting traffic from search engines like Google and Bing.
So SEO will be a major key in driving traffic to your blog.
To make optimizing your website easier for SEO, you'll need to download a plugin. This only works if you're using WordPress.
I would recommend downloading the Yoast SEO plugin.
And from there. Every post and page you create, there will be a little section where it makes sure you've met certain criteria.
Make sure you have a good theme
A theme is important to your website. It will dictate how your site will look and act.
For example, some big themes can really slow down your website because it's loading so many things.
I would recommend getting a clean theme that doesn't come with all the latest features. In all honesty, no one gives a damn how pretty your site looks.
They just care about the content you're providing. That's why I say just get a simple, clean looking theme.
No need to fill your site with a ton of widgets. This will only hurt you.
Do you know who your target audience is?
When creating a website, most people don't know who they're creating it for.
Are you creating your site simply because you want to document your life and share it with your family?
In that case, forget about the things I've said here because they won't matter to you.
But for the rest of us, when creating a site, we need to identify our target audience.
When creating a blog you will need to target a niche.
This is going to improve the chances of getting traffic to your blog and actually making it a business.
For example, are you in the acne niche? The relationship niche? Is your target audience people who are into boxing?
Identify your niche and you will have increased your chances of actually being able to make an income from your blog.
So now you know the first things to do after creating your website.
The things I went over in this post are critical and will shape the future of your blog.

Though Halloween dates back to the 10th century Celtic festival of Samhain, or "summer's end," the earliest mention of trick-or-treating dates to 1927, when a Canadian newspaper spoke of "youthful tormentors" at the door "demanding edible plunder." And, nearly a century later, they still are.
This year, according to Prosper Insights and Analytics, Americans will hand out $2.7 billion worth of candy to the little ghouls who come knocking, and candy sales are forecast to be up by 5.5 percent, the biggest increase since 2011. According to the National Retail Federation, or NRF, while only about half of Americans plan to wear costumes or decorate their homes for Halloween, 71 percent will give out candy. (The National Confectioners Association puts that figure at 77 percent.) Overall, the retail value of Halloween 2017 comes in at a staggering $9.1 billion.
"With roughly 180 million people celebrating Halloween in bigger, grander and more robust ways every year, Halloween is now more than just a day," said Dave Mastovich, president and CEO of integrated marketing firm MASSolutions. "It's a whole season of marketing opportunities that requires a strategic, creative focus."
Few brands are more aware of this picture than Hershey's, the confectionary giant with annual sales north of $7 billion. The 123-year-old candymaker counts over 80 brands in its corporate stable, including classics like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Whoppers, Mr. Goodbar and Kit Kat. For everyday Americans, Halloween is just a fun night. For Hershey's, it's the most critical sales occasion of the year.
"From a retail perspective, it's our Super Bowl," said Hershey's chief sales officer Rob Gehring. "It's as big as it gets."
So the pressure is on, especially today. While Americans might spend weeks working on their Halloween costumes, candy purchases for the holiday tend to take place at the very last minute—on Oct. 30. It's the busiest day of the year for the candy colossus.
The importance of maximizing sales inside such a short window of time means Hershey's mobilizes armies of employees in the run-up—marketers, retail coordinators, package designers—in an effort that's largely invisible to consumers.
Planning for this Halloween actually started 12 months ago in the immediate aftermath of Halloween 2016.
"We start out a year in advance—the season before—because everyone's in that mind frame," said Kristen Riggs, Hershey's vp and gm of brand commercialization. The company crunched data on which candies sold well and where and which sorts of packaging worked or didn't, assembling it into a predictive model.
For example, Hershey's package-design team decided to try a new glow-in-the-dark wrapper last year, one that will go into formal (if quiet) testing this year.
"We're not screaming from the rooftops, but we'll put it out there and watch the data," Gehring said. If the glowing chocolate performs well, it'll become a national rollout for 2018.
Of course, Hershey's primary task is making enough candy and, critically, knowing where to send it. The company operates seven factories in the U.S., each with specialized production lines. The plant in Robinson, Ill., makes Heath bars. Gum and mints come from Memphis, Tenn. And the trio of Pennsylvania plants—Lancaster, Hazleton and Hershey—churn out the requisite tonnage of Twizzlers, Kit Kats and Reese's, respectively.
"We'll work 12 months out to understand what our capacities are," Riggs said, and project how much candy to make. This year, the assembly lines will be whirring a little faster. Hershey's internal research indicates that 2017 candy sales should grow 4 percent over last year.
The bigger challenge, though, is determining how to mix the candies and where to distribute them. Hershey's sells most of its Halloween candy in variety packs, big plastic bags that feature its most popular brands. The top three sellers are Reese's, Kit Kat and Hershey bars, in that order. These can come in bite-size or king size. Many come in seasonal shapes (Reese's Peanut Butter Spooky Eyeballs Snack Size, for instance).

"rentabilidad del grupo minero de ethereum"
The Ethereum network is a long string of connections maintained by computers, their impact is undeniable, and the profit gained from mined Ether is surreal. A lot of people are of the opinion that mining will stop with the advent of the consensus algorithm and advise those with itching curiosity to mine now and think later.
I'm using rx 480 graphics card, it have 25mh/s mining speed and it consumes low electricity also it is cheap and affordable, literally this is my best investment ever. Here is complete guide for this card, http://www.thecryptomining.info/2017/04/6-gpu-ethereum-mining-rig-guide.html
It was this break down of the Bretton Woods System that ultimately led to the mostly global acceptance of floating foreign exchange rates in 1976. This was effectively the "birth" of the current foreign currency exchange market, although it did not become widely electronically traded until about the mid 1990s.
if your motherboard has additional SATA or Molex PSU connectors, you will have to connect them to the PSU, for example an H81 pro btc has 2 additional Molex connectors,and they must be enabled if you plan to have 4 or more GPU's connected, so that your PCI-E lanes can get enough power to run stable.
Mist and Ethereum Wallet are the official developments by the Ethereum team. While at the heart of it it's straightforward to use, it does pack a lot of extra features. Since it's integrated with ShapeShift, you can also accept payments from Bitcoin other altcoin accounts as well. It also allows you to develop Ethereum based apps and services – a.k.a. Smart Contracts.
Spread betting and CFD trading are leveraged products and as such carry a high level of risk to your capital which can result in losses greater than your initial deposit. These products may not be suitable for all investors. CFDs are not suitable for pension building and income. Ensure you fully understand all risks involved and seek independent advice if necessary.
This mining calculator will display your expected earnings in both Ether and Dollars. The calculations are based on the assumption that all conditions (difficulty and prices) remain as they are below.
As a follow up to my email about opening an account with $1000 or $1500 to trade futures (mini contract) if possible. Let me use an example and get your answer/suggestion. If I want to short the peso, with futures, i can do it without having to "know" that i have to go long/buy another currency but if i were trading forex, i would have to sell peso and buy the euro, us dollars, etc, correct? my question is, futures allow me just to focus on shorting the peso without me thinking to buy either euro, yen, etc. Because when i sell peso futures, i do not know or see the other currency that i am long but if i were to do it with forex trading then i would decide if i short peso then what is the other currency to buy(long) correct?
The price of mining ethereum is $29 per MH/s, reduced from the past rate of $44 per MH/s. Discussing this price change, Genesis Mininig co-founder and CEO Marco Streng stated, "Every day, we are working to reduce operational costs to mine on behalf of our 200,000 customers and every time we have the opportunity to provide greater ROI potential and value to our customers, we are honored".
The world has gone digital, from the development of smart homes to the development of innovations that promote seamless transactions. Every industry is feeling the impact of technology now more than ever. In every part of the world, the technologically driven goals remain the same: the maximization of profit and the promotion of sustainable development in all spheres of life. It is this yearning to make life as easy as possible that brought about the birth of cryptocurrency.
Good question. Typically when you hear numbers such as 1% or 4% a month is good, or 15% per year is good, the person saying that isn't using leverage, and they also aren't using stop losses and profit targets. They aren't getting in and out of the market as it fluctuates. I use leverage and I get in and out, and that is what I try to teach people how to do on this site.
When looking at what people had to say about the EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming Card they had great things to say. People liked that when they upgraded their old cards to this one, they were able to see a difference right away. People like that their computers run much smoother and silently, which is perfect while ethereum mining. The unit also features 8GB of VRAM, making it a solid performing card until you want to upgrade your graphics card again.
The takeaway here is that hashrate has followed (with some appreciable lag) the ETH price explosion, which began in late January 2016, saw some downturn in late 2016, but then exploded again in Q2 2017. What an amazing bull run! Up to almost $400 USD from just $10 USD in a few short months.
You can now test that your rig is mining using the first command, and then start mining using the second. It's a simple as that. If you want to use a pool different to Nanopool, then, of course, replace it with your chosen one.
Retail Forex traders – Finally, we come to retail Forex traders (you and I). The retail Forex trading industry is growing everyday with the advent of Forex trading platforms and their ease of accessibility on the internet. Retail Forex traders access the market indirectly either through a broker or a bank. There are two main types of retail Forex brokers that provide us with the ability to speculate on the currency market: brokers and dealers. Brokers work as an agent for the trader by trying to find the best price in the market and executing on behalf of the customer. For this, they charge a commission on top of the price obtained in the market. Dealers are also called market makers because they 'make the market' for the trader and act as the counter-party to their transactions, they quote a price they are willing to deal at and are compensated through the spread, which is the difference between the buy and sell price (more on this later).
For day trading leverage is preferred. For swing trading it isn't required as much…since you can risk about 1% of your capital on a (the 100 pip risk trade discussed above, which takes a few days to complete), which means you should be making 2%+ on your winners (trying to make 200+ pips on the winners). These are just examples; you need to work out the math for how much capital you have.

J.P. Morgan Chase is developing a permissioned-variant of Ethereum blockchain dubbed "Quorum."[110] It's designed to toe the line between private and public in the realm of shuffling derivatives and payments. The idea is to satisfy regulators who need seamless access to financial goings-on, while protecting the privacy of parties that don't wish to reveal their identities nor the details of their transactions to the general public.[111]

Werd. People have no clue. I love how the people that generally bitch about "foreigners" are the same assholes that the rest of us try to avoid at work, school, family reunions, the movies, wherever. The assumption that people will be sympathetic to his position, is troubling. I mean, I'm all for fighting "outsourcing," but there's a big difference between a software engineer losing his job to a company in India, than a redneck working graveyard at the mill, making less money than his latino supervisor.Unforgiven said:

In my previous blog I asked the question whether HR can truly be agile and provided an insight into the key values of agile and the dilemma this poses for my HR team.
The word 'agile' seems to be commonly used within the HR profession and beyond at the moment to describe a variety of different circumstances but in the main it seems that it's being used to reflect organisations that can rapidly adapt to change. However, within Causeway, when we refer to 'agile' we mean a method of working.
This method of working relies heavily on team collaboration in which, 20% of allotted time is devoted to team meetings. That equates to 1 day in 5, or for the purposes of agile, which requires organising work into fortnightly 'sprints', 2 working days out of 10.
Initial reactions within the business and especially within my team were about 'finding the time' to have so many team meetings or interactions. We simply felt that we were 'all too busy' to devote 20% of our working time to meet with each other. However, when you sit back and reflect on those initial feelings and reactions, it provides a very strong reason to change and adopt 'agile' as a way of working.
Let's think about this a little more. When was the last time that you had a really good quality conversation with your team over a task or a piece of work? When was the last time that you were able to give or receive really good quality feedback, which was useful?
Let's be honest here, we are all probably too busy to be able to devote the time to such things. So, conversations within your team about work or feedback to colleagues is often rushed, not thought through and the essence is on getting your message across as quickly as possible so that you can get back to focussing on the task(s) in hand. In many scenarios, conversations within teams just don't happen resulting in either poor or no communication.
So, what has 'agile' brought to those teams, including my own, that are currently working in the new structured way? Well, in two words, it has brought us 'communication' and 'collaboration', which are two things that are very very important in any high performing workplace culture, such as the one we have in Causeway.

The acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, has challenged a journalist questioning the source of wealth of the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu.
Magu gave the charge in Abuja on Monday in a chat with reporters at an event held in commemoration of his third year in office, telling the journalist to simply write a petition.
A journalist had asked Magu when he would probe Tinubu who had purportedly claimed in a video in August that he was richer than Osun State.
The journalist also asked why Magu was refusing to answer questions on the video which allegedly captured the Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, receiving bribes from contractors.
In his response, Magu said, "You know what? If you are really interested, write a petition and see whether I won't act. Go and write a petition and substantiate in the petition and find out if I won't act. It is not for us to listen to people on radio and begin to act. Yes, we have intelligence but the surest way to get action is to go and write a petition and substantiate the contents of the petition and see whether I will not act."

In February, committee members Sandra and Sietske visited the day care. They were pleased to see a continued sense of commitment and dedication from the local team in Ecuador. It was noted that the children are doing well at the day care despite the issues that they face within their homes. This was satisfying to see as it confirms that Villa Ticca provides a safe place for them.
At present the matters of greatest priority are;
* A new volunteer policy involving a revision of the current expectations of volunteers and requirements of a longer staying period
* Improving nutrition with particular focus on breakfast meals
* Actively fundraising within Ecuador by opening a bank account in the name of the foundation
* Expanding the support provided to the mothers through workshops
We are always trying to improve the care we provide with the best interests of the children in mind.

Kate Moss, Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid have certainly reached supermodel status and it looks as if their little sisters are hot on their heels. American Vogue's January issue has tapped the three younger sisters for big things after featuring them in one perfectly pretty shoot.
While Kylie Jenner has fronted Teen Vogue, this is the first time the 18-year-old reality star has covered the pages of the main magazine. She is joined by fashion royalty in the form of Kate Moss' little sister, Lottie and Gigi Hadid's younger sis, Bella.
READ: Kim Kardashian Chose One Sister To Be Saint's Godmother
Styled up by Sara Moonves and shot by Gordon von Steiner, the three ladies look unrecognisable in the images with seriously pared-back hair and make-up, wearing ditsy frocks. While we are used to seeing Kylie Jenner dolled to the nines in thigh-high boots and bodycon, this shoot marks a dramatically different look for the young lady and certainly proves she can be a chameleon just like her modelling sensation sis.
Kylie credits her sisters in the piece, telling the magazine, "I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for all my sisters." While she has Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Kendall to look up to, the little Mossy can turn to one of the most iconic women in fashion to get her advice. Going on to study media and fashion photography after she finishes school, Lottie certainly has her sights set on this world, and she's undoubtedly off to a great start.

Bella Hadid already has a whole host of experience when it comes to the modelling game, having walked for the likes of Marc Jacobs and Chanel and appeared in campaigns for Topshop. While she differs from her beach blonde sister in many ways, success in fashion certainly isn't one of them.

Advantage General launches BlackBerry app for road users
JAMAICAN road users can now report accidents or dangerous driving by customers of Advantage General Insurance (AGI) thanks to a new free Blackberry Application offered by the company.
AGI's latest service, dubbed "Advantage Mobile", was introduced on Thursday at a special event at the company's Head Office in Kingston. The app, which was built by Smart Mobile Solutions Jamaica Limited, a local developer, is designed to provide mobile insurance solutions for thousands of BlackBerry smartphone users in Jamaica.
One of the key features of Advantage Mobile is AGICertify, the company said. The feature, which is only available in Jamaica, allows road users to check whether or not a vehicle is insured with AGI.
Persons can also report accidents or dangerous driving to the company by entering the vehicle's licence plate number along with any pertinent information on the incident. AGI's system will then provide automatic confirmation of receipt.
Advantage Mobile allows users to get quick quotations, manage their insurance policies, submit motor accident notifications and windscreen claims, and access roadside assistance, among other features, the company added.
Mark Thompson, AGI president and CEO, said "exceptional service delivery and convenience continue to be the company's key area of focus.
"Advantage Mobile will more efficiently place routine insurance services at our clients' fingertips," he said, adding that the company wanted to improve the service experience for its client base. "The aim was to create the kind of cutting edge application that will deliver a truly engaging experience and wow our customers," Thompson noted.

text: capt_chaos Report post Posted January 27, 2017 Through the years there have been many many stories of brand x versus brand y. Who copied who, who said what. This section is the one that tends to draw the drama, sometimes when you have not got a dog in the fight it is okay to sit on the side and grab the popcorn. But the reality is the faceless factless handbag swinging bitch fight is actually doing your community a disservice. Before you as a user here engage in any kind of debate here stop and think. There will become a time when the macho dick swinging will get boring and people will walk away, companies will close as a result and you end up with an unserviceable bucket of bolts. Everytime you engage in pointless inane rubbish debates and it descends into he said she said think about what the actual result actually is. The arena of super fast twin turbos should be exciting enough without adding a pointless layer of bullshit to it. Respect another brand, respect another member on here and just hammer the competition on race day. You don't win prizes for doing anything else. No one is on their deathbed wishing they argued with people on the internet more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seeing storm clouds come together is another favorite of mine. The little openings where the blue shines through reminds me of moments of peace during chaos. A way to confirm there is good once you get through the storm.
Getting through the storm. Without a scratch, tear, or scar. Highly unlikely. I'm not talking about the ones you can see. I'm talking about the tears we cry behind closed doors. The rips in our heart and Spirit, and the scars from unhealed wounds. The fleshly turmoil.
Our inside thunderstorms. The ones our Savior took on that we shouldn't. I'm trying to learn to ask myself amid these torrential rains, "what am I supposed to learn from this?"
Well, so far the only thing I got is that you can't give someone wisdom who thinks they are the know all. My dad would say, " you can't fix stupid." My dad is right on most things, and he's got this one for sure.
So how do you deal with the stupid know all? Yes, I realize that sounds mean and horrible. Sometimes, it just is. So I guess it's continued prayer and asking God to help me keep my mouth shut. Really, I have got to shut up.
I don't want to be the one classified as the know all stupid jerk face. Just saying.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9 ESV
We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed
Colossians 1:17 ESV
And he is before all things, and in him, all things hold together.
He will hold you together. He will keep you. Jesus loves you. He is not punishing you. He is not pleased by watching you suffer. When you suffer He suffers. He will keep you. He will pull you through. He won't allow you to fall apart.

Hello everyone! It's really a very sad moment when you allow your mind to dwell on the incident that happened between Titi Arowolo and her husband, Akolade on that faithful day in 2011.The horrible domestic violence resulted in the death of Titi and in the eventual death sentence (death by hanging) passed on Akolade! http://t.co/CwantzWzgj.
This more than ever brings home the fact that singles need to think well and hard before jumping into marriage! Marriage is serious 'business' and needs to be treated as such. It's not for boys and girls but for men and women that are matured in mind and body! You can't afford to be led by your feelings, emotions and desires (FED)! Love is not blind! Love is not just a feeling!
In his recent article titled – Battery, Divorce & Dogma, Leke Alder has this to say about love and emotions, '…tell me, this "love", is it idiotic or what? Or is it foolishness? Is "love" devoid of commonsense? The problem often is that people mistake emotions for love. If you watch a sad movie you will become overtaken with emotion. The movie is not real yet you cry. That should give you an insight into emotion. It is no proof of reality. Just a chemical response to a trigger. Ordinary chocolate can trigger emotions. Emotion is not love. But we express love with emotion.
And many times it's just the groin talking. A groin-centred relationship is blind-siding. If everything is pointing to a terrible and horrible marriage, why keep planning for it with gusto? Love is not blind. And if your love has cataract you better go for eye surgery.'
Insightful! I couldn't have put it clearer and better myself! To the married, I will advice we accept our spouses for who he or she is and move on! http://t.co/IhnOPpyjD3 This is a 'serious' shout out to all married women and men out there! Don't push your spouse to the wall…let him or her be! Please read my last 2 articles on what you need to accept in each other! It's my prayer that you will find these posts helpful in your relationship; http://t.co/NZAlU7pIr6 , http://t.co/k0Hf8uCDg6
ANGER is indeed one letter short of DANGER! No matter the provocation! Self control is key! No body can drive you crazy except you give them your 'KEYS!' May our case be not like Akolade&Titi Arowolo!
Today, I want to share with us an 'open' letter written by a wife that was once abused by her husband. I believe some of these guys (abusers) need medical attention! Am serious! Or how do you explain Titi's alleged 76 stab wounds if the testimony of the medical examiner is to be believed? Is this 'mere' anger? I beg to disagree! It looks more like temporary insanity to me!
This letter was posted on the internet shortly after the story of another lady who died in her abusive marriage, went viral. Please read on and let's learn from this! She writes:
How I Survived Marriage to a Manic-Depressive, A Letter to my Christian Sisters
Posted on June 16, 2013 by admin in Strategy
Ojú l'ak`an fi nsori (The crab uses its sensitive eyes to stay alive) – Yoruba proverb
Enough already! I just read the story of Omodolapo Yetunde Jagha (nee Olotu), a devout Christian wife who recently died of cancer in the Dublin, Ireland. Her story (meant for a later post on this blog) and letter to the public include accounts of her pastor husband's infidelity, domestic violence, and religious dragooning. But the most grievous of his heinous crimes was to coerce her to "fast and pray" for her healing rather than seek medical attention in her fight against cancer! While I can't confirm the veracity of her story, it is all too familiar.
In February, I read a similar story about a lady who was beaten to death by her abusive husband. Prior to her death, she had been counseled by her pastor, parents, and well-wishers to remain in her matrimonial home and to endure the abuse. Like Yetunde, she died from abuse.
While I can go into a treatise on how the church is failing abused women, sending them to early graves instead of providing a refuge, it is not my purpose in this piece. For sure, it is no secret that many who parade themselves as pastors today are nothing but glorified thugs and hustlers. It is also a fact that many denominations demand little or no accountability from those they place on pulpits in their parishes, focusing instead on remuneration and empire building. Ipso facto, we cannot rely on religious pundits whether big and small to protect the victimized. Thus, my purpose in this piece is to EMPOWER THE VICTIMIZED!
By their fruits, (NOT by their professions), ye shall know them says the good book. Too often, we don't take these words seriously. When a person borrows without repayment (see my article, Of Liars, Borrowers, and Thieves), lies habitually, and generally bullies those around him, HE IS A THUG. He may tell you, he is a man of God, an excellent husband, or wonderful father; those titles are merely a figment of his imagination. He is a thug and should be treated as such. When you don't treat such men as they behave, you get tragedies like Yetunde's. For instance, when she once got a restraining order against him, she was advised to drop it. Yet, a restraining order is only the beginning of a survival plan against thugs, bullies, and hustlers.
I got married mid-1997 and by March 1999, my husband was expressing the symptoms of manic-depression. In his manic stage, he would stand upstairs in our high ceiled home and yell curses down at me holding our three month old baby. This would go on for about three days then he would hit a depression and go around moping about how sorry he was. Having never experienced abuse, I had no clue what was going on in my marriage. I mean, an average disagreement would turn into a shoutfest – him shouting and me locking myself in a closet till he was done because he'd told me I could not leave the house during an argument. Eventually, things got to a head and we involved his friends who advised me that there was something horribly wrong with their friend. I stood my ground and made him go seek medical attention but he refused to accept the diagnosis of bipolar disorder. So the war began.
For five years, we lived the bipolar roller coaster of highs (mental and emotional abuse) and lows (remorse and sadness). Initially, there were periods of tranquility between episodes but after he lost his job, the frequency and gravity of outbreaks went haywire. The first time I considered leaving, my pastor counseled me against it and the church began to work harder at monitoring him. I took out restraining orders, changed my child's daycare and the locks to the door till things appeared better. Then came the day, rather the night, that determined the fate of my marriage. We had gone to church in separate cars and he'd returned home before us. When I drove into the garage with my two girls and their nanny, he was waiting. As soon as we went indoors, I heard a banging noise from the garage. I found him hitting my car with a hammer. I asked, "What's the matter?" He replied, "hand me your keys or I will smash this car to bits." Now, I was in a quandary because if I turned over my keys, I would be stranded and unable to leave the house yet I could not watch my car being smashed to bits. So, I made a split second decision to get into the car and head back to church which was seven minutes away.
Unfortunately for me, he followed me in his car and tried to run me off the road (you know, like in the movies). Once, he passed my car and threw the hammer through my window. The side glass shattered. Then he butted my car as I tried to avoid his. Thank God, I live to tell this tale. Nobody needed to convince me to LIVE, FOR GOD'S SAKE! Hmm, that could also be written as LEAVE, FOR GOD'S SAKE. But I would never forget the words of a sane pastor who advised, "I have met your parents and I would not like to be the person to give them the bad news of your demise. Do what is best for your children."
So, how did I survive? Obviously, by the grace of God, but also by a lot of quick thinking and strategizing. I still have the quick wit to disappear in the blinking of an eye, along with my kids if I sense danger, lol). And I must credit my pastors who were supportive and forward thinking. I didn't get many statements like, "Stay with him, you know he means well" or "A wise woman builds her home." Instead, I got sound strategies and when those failed, quiet resignation to the unavoidable.
Hmmm. My friends, may we not experience calamity in our homes! This is not the end of the letter. She still have some few tips on how to survive an abusive marriage. I will be sharing this with us in my next post. Till then…let's ask for God's help in our relationships!

365 Day Blog Post Challenge 2019
Day 35
101. Write about an old resentment or unhealed hurt
For the most part, I don't hold a lot of resentments. I try hard to let things go and forgive (not always easy, but I try). As for hurt, although my heart and mind have been through the ringer on countless occasions, I've learned over the years how to heal it, or at least find ways to pretend that it is healed. That being said, my one greatest unhealed hurt is the pain of never being a mother.
Infertility is a bitch.
Although the hurt lessens as I grow older, it doesn't take away from the agony I have dealt with my entire adult life. The hurt started not long after I began trying to have a child. This was back when I was still under the impression that it could happen. Yet, it wasn't happening and I didn't understand why. At the same time that all of this was happening, many of my friends were getting pregnant and having babies. It is an indescribable pain to have to try and be happy for those around you when inside it was actually tearing my heart to pieces. The countless baby showers and 1st birthday parties would often times lead me into a funk that would take weeks or sometimes even months to pull myself out of. Yet, few knew this. I would always go with a smile and a happy attitude. Very few knew of my hurt and even those that did know could never really understand. Some tried and looking back now I appreciate the effort, but it is hard to hear someone tell you they "understand your sadness" as they head home to take care of their two children. I had someone tell me once that they understood EXACTLY what I was feeling because they really wanted to have a fourth child but couldn't afford it. I still am baffled to this day as to what this person was thinking when they said this. Did they honestly think that that not being able to have any children at all compares not being able to have four?? That one still makes me shack my head.
After many years of trying, I was finally given some relief in finding out that I was just not able to get pregnant. I say "relief" because at least now I didn't have to continually get my hopes up that "maybe this is the month". So, once you find out it just isn't going to happen… then what? Well, at first you grieve. Yes, I mean real grief. The same grief you feel when you lose someone important in your life. It was at that moment that I lost a piece of myself. I had wanted to be a mother since I was a young girl. I had names picked out for my kids when I was a teenager. When I was a senior in high school, each person was allowed to write something about themselves and their future in the year book. I didn't write about traveling the world or attending college. I wrote that I was going to have kids and live happily ever after with my beloved husband. When that is what you have expected that life will bring you (and why shouldn't you.. EVERYONE has kids… it's just a very matter-of-fact thing… until it isn't), when it gets taken away from you, it is a blow to the gut and a stab in the heart.
To be perfectly honest, even after I was told I would not be able to have kids, I still would imagine myself getting pregnant. I don't know if it was a defense mechanism to protect myself from a full fledge breakdown, but whatever it was, I always would tell myself that "There is still time. It could happen.". As the years passed by and I got older, I began to finally accept and realize that I would never be a mom.
I spent many years of my life trying to disguise the pain by pretending that I was better off not having children. I would make up stories about how I wouldn't have been a good mother anyway because I don't have the patients, or say that it was better off because I could do anything I wanted to do and didn't have to be responsible for another human being. But let's face it, that was all lies. Lies to help protect me from being the outsider of almost every female conversation. When you are in your twenties and thirties, it is impossible to have a conversation with a group of females without it being about kids. NOT TO SAY that there is anything wrong with people talking about their kids, but it can be difficult to have relationships with people when you start to have fewer and fewer things in common with them. And I did have relationships that ended up fading away due to our different life styles. So on top of dealing with never being a mother, I was also losing friends. Talk about a double kick in the butt.
I used to go shopping a lot when I was younger and would buy a ton of baby clothes. I had so many friends and family having babies and I wanted to also put some of those baby clothes away for when I had a child of my own. At one point I had bags and bags of brand new baby clothes. Over the years, I gave them away at baby showers and donated some to shelters. However, for the last 25 years, I have kept hidden in the bottom drawer of my dresser one outfit that I just have never been able to part with. I always imagine my daughter wearing this and the thought of given it away meant that I officially accepted that it was never going to happen. After all of these years, there it sits, in the bottom drawer of my dresser next to my old high school cheerleading skirt. I have a strange feeling I will never be able to let it go.
I could go on and on about this topic and I am sure that future blogs will discuss this in more detail, but for now, we will just leave it as my greatest unhealed hurt. Because it still hurts. Even all of these years later.

Amazon has officially listed the Canon 7D as "discontinued", suggesting that the DSLR camera will be replaced by a newer model in the near future, just like the rumor mill has predicted.
It has been rumored numerous times before, so it was bound to happen at some point. The Canon 7D DSLR has finally been discontinued. Sources have previously said that it will happen by the end of June.
Well, the prediction has turned into a reality one month later, as the flagship EOS camera with an APS-C sensor is now listed as "discontinued" at Amazon, while other retailers are expected to follow the same path soon.
Amazon now listing Canon 7D as "discontinued"
At the beginning of June, an unnamed source claimed that Canon will stop manufacturing the EOS 7D in June in order to make room for a successor.
In early July, when the camera was not listed as discontinued, the price of the DSLR has been reduced by a couple of hundred dollars, once again signalling the end of 7D's life.
The inevitable has finally happened, meaning that the Canon 7D's life cycle is over. The device is available for about $980 at Amazon until stocks last. As soon as the stocks are gone, they will not be replenished.
This means that if you want to buy a very good camera, now it is the perfect time to do it.
Canon 7D Mark II set to be unveiled on September 5
The Canon 7D replacement will be announced in early September. Trusted sources have pinpointed September 5 as the most likely launch event for this product.
It will be revealed just in time for the Photokina 2014, the biggest digital imaging fair in the world, which takes places in Cologne, Germany starting September 16.
The so-called Canon 7D Mark II will definitely be present at the event, where the Japan-based company will amaze the visitors with the cutting-edge technologies that are rumored to be added into the shooter.
7D Mark II DSLR camera rumored to be as innovative as its predecessor
Canon first introduced the EOS 7D camera on September 1, 2009. It has enjoyed one of the most extended life cycles in the digital world.
The 7D has been regarded as an innovative camera and many of its features have been added in future Canon DSLRs.
The same thing is expected from the 7D Mark II, although people are speculating that there is no way for the upcoming camera to live for five years, like its predecessor.
Either way, we should wait for its announcement before speculating any further, so stay tuned for more details!

The deeply influential YouTube network Machinima has shuttered, with 81 staff members losing their jobs.
The news arrives via a statement from the company to Variety, which notes that "A select number of Machinima employees remain with the company" but that it "has ceased its remaining operations, which includes layoffs."
You may not know that Machinima had been operating for nearly 20 years before its closure, starting with games like Quake III and championing the use of games as animation, a medium that has delighted countless gamers worldwide ever since.
The company is set to merge with Warner's Otter Media, a venture owned by mobile network AT&T. Subsidiaries of Otter include Crunchyroll, VRV and Rooster Teeth.
Speaking to Variety, Otter Media made a point that the company is not fully gone for good. "Otter has brought over valuable parts of the Machinima business that we believe amplify our focus on the gaming and anime community."
This decision follows the strange turn of events of this January when the main 12 million subscribers strong Machinima channel changed the visibility of all of its videos to private, a jarring move that wiped a lot of brilliant content from YouTube.
In any event, this is a sad day for any Machinima fan, whether you enjoyed one video or many. Hopefully, the many creators under its network umbrella can shine on regardless.

Not Rid of Leg Cramps · 26 April 2013
I was hoping that they were gone for good, but my leg cramps have come back.
I do not know if they are back because I am exercising a bit more or drinking less water or if there is some other reason. I just know that they have come back this week with a vengeance. They have woken me up three nights this week.
Fortunately, we still had pickle juice in the refrigerator the first couple times. I was amazed at how quickly that sour elixir cured my cramps and let me go back to sleep. I was also amazed that just a few ounces were all that I needed each time.
Unfortunately, there was no pickle juice last night.
Since the magic juice was gone, I had to improvise when the cramps woke me up. I already knew the pickle jar was empty so I wondered if there was some other juice I could drink. I guzzled down water first, but that did not relieve my pain. But when I looked in the refrigerator, I found a jar of Kalamata olives.
The olive juice was not as pleasant to drink as the pickle juice, but it did the trick. Just a little bit of the liquid was all I needed. I slept the rest of the night away free of cramps.
I do not have a problem with drinking the juice of pickled vegetables, but it does lead me to wonder what is restorative in those concoctions. I need to do some investigation about replacing electrolytes to see why those juices work. With a little investigation (and the juices of pickled vegetables), maybe I can get rid of my leg cramps for good.

Natural antimicrobial additives in cereal products.
- Identification
- How does it work?
- What can it be used for?

- Implementation
- Related Facilities
- Further Information
|Key words
|antimicrobial, cereal, additive, natural, carvacrol, acetic acid, lactic acid, calcium lactate
|Latest version
|Completed by
How does it work?
|Primary objective
|Using natural compounds for microbial stabilization of cereal products which will be more acceptable for consumers than preserved by synthetic compounds.
|Working principle
| The natural compounds occurring in common foodstuffs (like spice…) are expected to have less or no bad influence on the human organism. Using different natural compounds (extracted from plants e.g. cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid, eugenol, perillaldehyde, thymol, and carvacrol and its precursor p-cymene; microorganisms; animals…) and combinations thereof for stabilisation, it is possible to reduce microbial growth and at the same time decrease the impact on human health.
Many different compounds and mixtures have potential to be used for conservation, but they need to be tested for the effective dose [1,2,3,4,5,6].
For example: carvacrol – Carvacrol is a monoterpenoid, natural occurred in Origanum vulgare. It was tested against four microorganisms in single culture and coculture. All strains were completely inactivated within 24 h [5].
organic acid – organic acid (acetic acid, lactic acid) and their salts (calcium lactate, lactate-containing cocktail, calcium propionate) were tested against Bacillus strains causing bread spoilage.
|Additional effects
| Can change sensory properties (acidification, spice extracts…).
Increase of consumer acceptance expected because of natural origin and flavour increase.The essential oils should be selected appropriately for different types of food to avoid undesirable flavors.
|Important process parameters
|Important product parameters
|The natural antimicrobial agent should be chosen with regard to the food properties (pH, reactivity…) and the consecutive treatment (especially heating).
What can it be used for?
|Different types of antimicrobials can be used for different products. It depends on its stability and sensory properties.
|Chemical stabilizing without use of synthetic compounds.
|Solutions for short comings
|Need for natural antimicrobial additives for cereal products.
What can it NOT be used for?
|Depends on each compound. May react with some other components (both examples given here can react with bases; carvacrol moreover with oxidizing agents).
|Depends on each compound. Maybe thermolabile, pH instable. The listed compounds are relatively stable (Carvacrol - flash point 106 °C).
|Other limitations
|Volatile compounds like carvacrol or acetic acid can evaporate during processing and storing.
|Risks or hazards
| The compounds have natural origin and occur in foodstuff. They are on the GRAS list (generally recognized as safe). Just take attention on possible dose limit for daily intake.
The organic acids mentioned are corrosive and caustic if concentrated.
|Carvacrol and organic acids are used in industrial scale. Many compounds are tested and prepared in lab scale.
|Modularity /Implementation
|This replaces just commonly used antimicrobials. The consecutive steps in the processing line have to consider the stability and reactivity of the newly added ingredient. These compounds or extracts should be tested in real foods under expected conditions of use and of potential abuse.
|Consumer aspects
|The use of natural compound instead of synthetic is expected to be well accepted.
|Legal aspects
|The compounds can have concentration or dose limits for human daily intake. Please check local legislation. (Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 establishing a common authorisation procedure for food additives, food enzymes and food flavourings)

Netflix Sets Cast for Mark Millar Superhero Drama 'Jupiter's Legacy'
Netflix's Mark Millar superhero drama Jupiter's Legacy has found its stars.
The cast will be led by Transformers star Josh Duhamel, The Crown's Ben Daniels, Iron Man's Leslie Bibb, Sacred Lies' Elena Kampouris and Doctors' Andrew Horton. Jupiter's Legacy centers on the world's first generation of superheroes, who gained their powers in the 1930s. The series is set in the present day and follows the elder statesmen of the superhero world, as well as their children.
Duhamel will play Sheldon Sampson, also known as The Utopian, who is the leader of the superhero group The Union. He's a man who no longer understands the world or his family.
Daniels is playing Sheldon's brilliant older brother Walter Sampson, also known as Brain-Wave, while Bibb is playing Grace Sampson, the extremely powerful hero Lady Liberty and wife of Sheldon.
Kampouris will play Chloe Sampson, the daughter of Sheldon and Grace. She has abandoned the values of her parents and pursued a path that threatens the things they've fought for. The family also includes Brandon Sampson (Horton), the son of Sheldon and Grace and a hero training to be the new Utopian and lead The Union.
Other castmembers include Timeless' Mike Wade, who will play the hero Fizt Small/The Flare, whose career as a superhero was ended by a car accident, but who continues to hold the team together. Star Wars: The Clone Wars' Matt Lanter is playing George Hutchence/Skyfox — a man who was once Sheldon's best friend before turning on The Union and becoming a notorious supervillain.
Former Daredevil showrunner Steven S. DeKnight is serving as showrunner for Jupiter's Legacy. He will also write and direct the first episode and produce. Lorenzo Di Bonaventura and Dan McDermott will exec produce.
Millar, the comic book writer known for creating Kingsman and penning Marvel Comics such as The Ultimates that helped inspire the Marvel Cinematic Universe, debuted Jupiter's Legacy in comics in 2013 with artist Frank Quitely.
Netflix acquired Millar's comic book imprint Millarworld in August 2017. The streamer previously ordered to series American Jesus, and is also developing films based on the titles Empress, Huck and Reborn, starring Sandra Bullock.
Netflix building out a roster of comic book series and films based on Millarworld properties comes as Disney prepares to launch Disney+, a streaming service that will feature Marvel Studios TV series. Netflix has begun pairing down its own Marvel shows, canceling Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Daredevil. Marvel competitor DC has already launched its own SVOD service, DC Universe.

Need to Know Tips for Spray Painting
There is nothing better than taking something outdated and turning into a trendy home decor item with a little spray paint. Seems simple right? If you are like me you might have run into some disappointing outcomes. Ever seen Pinterest fails???
Let me save you some time, money, and headaches! Here are some helpful tips for all those DIY projects!
Top Fall Decorations for 2018
I struggle decorating my home with holiday and seasonal accessories. Why?! Because I have a color scheme and accessories that I already love. The majority of my home is neutral tones with subtle pops of color. Something about disrupting that with bright orange, red, and yellow just doesn't excite me.
You can imagine how happy I am to see that neutral fall decor has become more prevalent. I no longer have to haul out spray paint to cover up obnoxious colors or figure out how to make the room look cohesive without getting all new stuff. Man, I sound like a stick in the mud but that isn't true at all! I just want seasonal and holiday decor to look chic and styled.

Xiaomi Opens Largest Mi Home Store In Bangalore
Xiaomi tops the list in India in terms of smartphone and now, smart TV sales. The company had humble beginnings as a smartphone brand and has now branched out to various other aspects. In its conquest to establish itself as a full-fledged home brand, Xiaomi has made sure to slowly increase the presence of offline stores in India. The latest Mi Home experience centre in Bangalore, is the largest store that the company has in India. The move speaks volumes about the roadmap Xiaomi has planned for the country.
The Mi Experience
The store covers an area of over 6000 sq.ft, spread over two floors. It hosts a variety of Xiaomi products, some which are exclusive to the Indian market. Another highlight is the fact that the store is made using eco-friendly materials. It is also equipped with special solar-powered charging stations. This is in sync with the company's ideology to implement and promote pro-environmental measures.
Apart from the products which are sold in India, the Mi Home store has more than 200 products which are sold globally. This includes the Mi Robot Vacuum, Mi Smart Laser Projector and the Mi Smart Washing machine to name a few. The store also has an engagement zone. It also features a Mi Home cafe where fans can host meet ups and also discuss and give feedback to the company. The store also has an engraving machine with which customers can engrave personalised logos onto their Xiaomi smartphones or power banks.

Online Brands, Offline Stores
Last month, Xiaomi had opened its TV manufacturing plant in Andhra Pradesh. At the launch, they had announced the intention of opening more than 50 physical Mi stores in India. The company has now moved to products such as Air Purifiers and even Luggage to ensure that they are an integral part of your life. Xiaomi also manufactures products such as toothbrushes. Experience zones and physical stores are crucial to building relations with customers. More and more companies are adopting this strategy. Samsung recently opened its largest experience centre in the world, in India. OnePlus also stressed on its plans to open more experience stores at the launch of the OnePlus 6T.

As we were going through the excruciating process of candidate selection for the 2011 election, I got a call from Ian Davidson. He was the chief whip of our parliamentary caucus, on whose judgement I relied a lot. He was helping me identify potential mayoral candidates.
"Going on first impressions, he certainly had the 'right stuff' to be our mayoral candidate"
Two months earlier, he had accompanied me to try to persuade Bobby Godsell to make himself available. Bobby, who had chaired the Progressive Party Youth when both Ian and I were members in the early 1970s, had a high public profile after his recent role as board chairman of Eskom. His contretemps with its dysfunctional management before his resignation was celebrated as a principled move after a valiant attempt to improve Eskom's governance. Bobby had a reputation as a leader, manager and excellent communicator. He could cross political fault lines. I thought he fitted the bill. When he said an emphatic no, however, we had to cast the net wider.
Ian was also a member of the broader candidate-selection panel in Johannesburg. He phoned me to say they had interviewed an excellent candidate. 'I think we may have found a mayoral candidate,' said Ian. 'You need to come up to Johannesburg and meet him.'
That was on the Monday. On Friday morning Ian and I arrived to have breakfast with Mmusi Maimane at a Rosebank hotel.
The foyer was filled with young business executives, all fancy gadgets, flashy watches and shiny shoes, and purposefully on the move. A tall young man emerged from the crowd, crisp white shirt and plain tie against a dark suit. He recognised me. 'Good morning, Mrs. Zille.' He said with comfortable formality. 'I'm Mmusi.'
Over a light breakfast he told Ian and me about himself. It couldn't have been a better story, from his childhood in Soweto, his parents' sacrifice to educate him, his academic achievements, his vision for the future of his young family, and for all South Africans.
It's very hard to judge someone at a first meeting but, going on first impressions, he certainly had the 'right stuff' to be our mayoral candidate for Johannesburg.
There were big risks. He was a complete novice in politics. That is always a serious issue. But he was perceptive enough to know that. Mmusi was more concerned about it than I was, but I eventually persuaded him to throw his hat in the ring. He stood against an experienced and excellent councillor and party stalwart. Jack Bloom, who would have made an outstanding mayor. But the majority of the selection panel swung behind Mmusi's charisma, flair and communication skills (backed by his obvious intelligence)-all crucial attributes in politics. And, of course, he was black.

Posted at 10:30am
Hello time traveller!!
This article is 1561 days old.
The information listed below is likely outdated and has been preserved for archival purposes.
Flags at Windsor City Hall are flying at half mast this week in a show of support for the community of Orlando, Florida and the victims of violence there this past weekend.
Mayor Drew Dilkens will also attend a vigil Wednesday night on Maiden Lane organized by the Windsor-Essex Pride Fest.
"This shooting is a tragedy on so many levels," said Mayor Drew Dilkens. "Lowering the City flag and coming together on Wednesday night is our way of showing that we stand together for our neighbours in the United States."
