"Melchior Steiner was an American printer who had learned his trade under John Henry Miller. He was the son of Reformed Church pastor Conrad Steiner. The family is believed to have moved to the Thirteen Colonies from Switzerland, settling in Philadelphia. After completing an apprenticeship with the United Lutheran Ministry's printing operation, Steiner formed a partnership with Charles Cist, a Moravian American originally from St. Petersburg. For nearly two years Cist and Steiner published the Philadelphisches Staatsregister, which was very similar to other contemporary papers like Die Pennsylvanische Gazette published by John Dunlap, and Das Pennsylvanische Zeitungs-Blat, published while the British were still occupying Philadelphia during the first half of 1778. The first issue of Philadelphisches Staatsregister was published on July 21, 1779. By then, it may have been the only German language paper in America. Steiner and Cist dissolved their partnership in 1781. Steiner went on to publish Gemeinnützige Philadelphische Correspondenz. Melchior died in 1807. References Category:American printers "
"Nathaniel “Lockie” Julies, a 16 year-old boy with down syndrome, was fatally shot allegedly by South African Police Service (SAPS) officers Sergeant Simon ‘Scorpion’ Ndyalvane and Constable Caylene Whiteboy on the 26 August 2020. A third suspect, Detective Voster Netshiongolo, involved in the shooting appeared before the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court. Julies was shot meters away from his home in the Eldorado Park area of Johannesburg. Incident It was initially reported by Gauteng premier David Makhura that Julies was killed in crossfire between police and gang members. The Julies family have stated that he was at a local tuck shop buying biscuits when the shooting occurred. Officers allegedly involved in the shooting stated that Julies was shot after allegedly failing to respond to police questioning. Media reports stated that Julies died before reaching hospital. = Witness accounts = An unidentified family member told the media that after purchasing two packs of biscuits he joined other nearby children in front of the Hillbrow flats where the police first approached him. Julies father stated that Julies was approached by police officers who tried to question him. The officers were unable to understand Julies due to his down syndrome and so moved on to questioning another person nearby. After officers had finished questioning and searching the second person nearby officer Ndyalvane got out from a vehicle and shot Julies close range with a shotgun. The force of the shot propelled Julies' body under a truck. Shortly after the shooting police dragged his body out from under the truck and removed it from the scene. Eye witnesses stated that there was no gang presence in the area. Aftermath The shooting resulted in violent protest action in the Eldorado Park area with two SAPS officers and one Johannesburg Metro Police officer injured amidst threats by the community to burn down the local police station. A petition calling for the prosecution of those involved in the fatal shooting was signed by over 120,000 people. The incident highlighted long running community grievances with the way the local police station is run. Minister of Police Bheki Cele said that the actions of the officers implicated in Julies' death were "uncalled for". Eldorado Park community members criticised the EFF for trying to politicise the event and "disrespecting" the funeral procession. A tweet from American musician Solange Knowles increased awareness of the incident outside of South Africa.
