Crowd calls for prayer and justice at Freedom Corner

Posted on by

They came by the dozens, totaling upward of 300, some carrying signs bearing Together We Can and Justice for All, most wearing their Sunday best, many holding hands or raising them in supplication.

The members of the 19 churches of the Hill District Ministers Alliance turned out Sunday afternoon, the first Sunday of the new year, at the historic Freedom Corner in the Hill District to get the ear not only of elected officials but of God, said organizer Victor Grigsby, chairman of the alliance and pastor of the Central Baptist Church in the Hill District.

There was stirring talk and singing. Mostly, there was prayer.

Theres an urgency in our community. We felt a strong need to voice our concerns. We wanted to talk about injustice. We wanted to pray, as a community, Rev. Grigsby said. Pittsburgh Police Chief Cameron McLay and Cmdr. Eric Holmes attended. Im here because I support anything that brings community together [to support peace,] Cmdr. Holmes said.

Recent national incidents involving the deaths of African-American citizens during encounters with police sparked the rally for justice and against violence, which began at 1:30 p.m. with a march down Centre Avenue to Freedom Corner, where speakers took turns at the microphone.

The precipitating factors were [shootings in] Ferguson [Mo.] and Brooklyn, New York, but this is the way we wanted to begin 2015, the first Sunday in 2015, in a peaceful voicing of our concerns, Rev. Grigsby said.

Speaker after speaker asked the group to join in prayer for government leaders, for funding of programs to benefit the community, for police, for peace.

MGS 5 XOF patch locations: where to find them & unlock the Dj Vu mission

Posted on by

The XOF patches in Metal Gear Solid 5 Ground Zeroes are more than just a collectable, youll need them to unlock the PS4s exclusive Dj vu missions and ultimately a MGS1 PS1 Snake & Cyborg Ninja skin. Dont worry if youre having trouble though as here are all the locations.

To unlock Snakes pixely PS1 incarnation youll have to find the patches below then complete a series of objectives to recreate moments from the first PlayStation game. To get Cyborg Ninja you then have to do the same on hard.

Probabably the hardest patch to find becaus unless you know about it theres no chance of locating it its stuck to your back right at the start! To get it you need to lie down and aim then click the left stick to roll. Keep rolling until a cutscene plays which then lets you pick up the displodged patch.

Another tricksy patch to find is located right at the start as soon as the game begins turn around and go back to the cliff edge where youll see the patch next to some bushes.

Find the entry gate near the watchtower as you approach the camp. Pick the gates lock and go through, following the road around to the left hand side. You should see a gap in the fence on the right. Go through it and look for some planks and an oil drum. Youll find the XOF patch on some rubble nearby.
