MUSKEGON, MI – An alleged eyewitness to the shooting death of 18-year-old Kentae Jones testified Monday, April 14, that he saw two men fire from a slowly rolling minivan at the Muskegon Heights house where the witness, Jones and other men were moving furniture in.
One shooter, the witness didn't recognize. The other, who allegedly fired over the top of the red minivan from the side away from the house, he identified as murder defendant Isiah Amoz Spears.
The witness testified at the preliminary examination for Spears, 21, of Muskegon. Spears is charged with open murder in Jones' Jan. 24, 2013, slaying outside 2425 Sixth St. He's charged as a third-offense habitual offender.
At the end of the hearing, Muskegon County 60th District Chief Judge Maria Ladas Hoopes found probable cause that Spears committed murder. She ordered him bound over for trial in 14th Circuit Court.
MLive Muskegon Chronicle is not identifying the alleged eyewitness at this time to protect him from retaliation.
The man said he, Jones and three other men were moving furniture into the home across from the Muskegon Heights High School football field, which he and Jones were moving into that day.
Around 5 p.m., at dusk, a minivan rolled by at about 10 mph northbound on Sixth toward Hackley Avenue, from right to left as seen from the house, he testified.
The witness, who said he was lifting one end of a couch and facing the street, standing just inside the doorway of an enclosed front porch, said he saw and heard two men, one of them Spears, fire a total of about eight shots at the house. One of them struck Jones, who "said he was hit," the witness testified.
The witness said some of the other men stayed with Jones while the witness took Jones' coat, containing money and drugs, and Jones' handgun from a car, and brought them to Jones' father, Kenyatta Jones, at another house in Muskegon Heights.
Kentae Jones was transported to a local hospital by ambulance. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
In his first interview with Muskegon Heights police detectives the day after the killing, the witness said he couldn't identify either shooter in the red minivan. He returned to police about 10 days later and identified Spears as one of the shooters.
Under cross-examination by defense attorney Arnold Weiner of Auburn Hills, the witness said he lied to police the first time "because I didn't want to say nothing."
Weiner used that admitted lie to argue unsuccessfully for dismissing the case against Spears, saying it showed a lack of reliability by the witness and noting that Spears wasn't charged until recently, more than a year after the witness changed his story.
After the hearing, Muskegon County Prosecutor D.J. Hilson said prosecutors waited to charge Spears because they were compiling as much evidence as they could. Without commenting on specific evidence in the case, he said, "the investigative subpoena process is serving the function we hoped it would to supplement the police investigation process."
Investigative subpoenas are court orders compelling witnesses to testify under oath in a criminal investigation, in a closed courtroom and without public access to the testimony.
Hilson declined to comment on a possible motive for Jones' shooting, except to say that it wasn't believed to be drug-related.

The Carrollton Police Department reports it engaged in a manhunt and responded to a disturbance Tuesday.
The police department notes the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office assisted with the manhunt for 37-year-old Willis Turner of Tina in the residential area southeast of the North Mason and Fourth Street intersection. He was apprehended on a Missouri Department of Corrections Detainee warrant.
Carrollton Police say Turner had been absconding from the Department of Corrections since August of this year. Turner is incarcerated without bond and waiting for extradition back to the DOC.
The police department reports the disturbance it responded to in the 400 block of West Benton Street lead to the arrest of 24-year-old Brandon Lake of Carrollton on possession of controlled substances.
Online court information shows he has since been charged with felony possession of a controlled substance except 35 grams or less of marijuana or synthetic cannabinoid and misdemeanor unlawful use of drug paraphernalia, prior drug offense. Lake’s bond is $35,000 cash only.

James Dunn won the 1945 best supporting actor Oscar for his performance as the drunken waiter in "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn."
Dunn turned to acting as a career after having tried his hand at almost everything, including marking stock quotations on the board in his father's New York brokerage firm.
After touring an Eastern theatrical circuit as a bit player, he wandered into the Paramount studio, then in New Jersey, where he was given several small parts. They paid well, so he stuck with the movies.
In 1931, he graduated from bit parts to feature roles and was signed by 20th Century-Fox. In the next five years he made 30 pictures. Later, Dunn played opposite Shirley Temple in "Stand Up and Cheer."
After making more than 50 more films, Dunn retired from films in 1950 with the making of "The Golden Gloves Story." He went on to become one of the first Hollywood actors to star in his own television series — "It's a Great Life."

NEW DELHI: The Prime Minister's Office (PMO
) has forwarded the complaint received by it regarding the Essar phone tapping matter to the Union Home Ministry
for "appropriate action", top sources in the government say. This is a routine step to deal with complaints landing at the PMO and does not mean that a formal probe has been ordered, the sources added.
"The complaint has been forwarded by PMO to the Home Ministry
for appropriate action. However, no probe has been ordered as the PMO does not do that (order probes). It is up the Home Ministry to order a probe, if any at all," a senior government official confirmed to ET. The Home Ministry will be examining the complaint on Monday and taking a decision subsequently if a probe is required or not. "Senior officials in the Ministry had not seen the file till Friday evening. It must have been forwarded during the weekend. It is expected that the Intelligence Bureau
(IB) will be asked by the Home Ministry to look into the matter," a source said. The complaint was submitted to PMO on June 1 by Supreme Court lawyer Suren Uppal
, who claims to represent the Essar group `whistleblower' Basit Khan
, who allegedly tapped phones at behest of his employers. Khan has however dissociated himself with Uppal saying he does not represent him. Based on the complaint, news reports have appeared over the last week on the alleged tapped conversations of industrialists, bureaucrats and politicians more than a decade ago. Any unauthorised phone surveillance is a offence under the Indian Telegraph Act.
Essar had strongly denied the allegations saying it never itself conducted or authorised any person, including Basit Khan, to conduct any phone surveillance. "We welcome a full and complete investigation. Uppal has concocted a completely false and baseless story involving us in order to make extortionist demands from us in the name of an ex-employee. When made to realise that we have absolutely no interest in acceding to such illegal demands, he is now looking to defame and pressurise us by using the media. We intend to proceed against him to the full extent of the law unless he tenders a public apology and unconditionally withdraws these baseless allegations," SS Khandwawala, head-security (intelligence & vigilance), Essar Group had said in a recent statement.

Residents remain clueless about project launched by the government just last week
Even though the zero garbage programme was formally launched amid much fanfare by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah last week in 22 wards in the city, the programme has not taken off at the ward level.
A quick recce among the residents of the wards revealed that they were completely unaware of the programme. This, when the motto of the programme was to enlist active engagement of residents to ensure segregation of waste in the households. The programme also promised a clean neighbourhood without unsightly garbage heaps.
Many residents of Gandhinagar and Rajmahal Guttahalli, two of the 22 wards identified for the programme, pointed to the heaps of garbage lying unattended in their areas. Moreover, many were clueless about the programme and pointed out that the civic body had not carried out any awareness programmes there.
Raju Venkataram (35) who works at a hotel in Rajmahal Guttahalli said no information was provided to them on waste segregation. “We continue to dump all our waste — kitchen waste, plastic and paper — in one bin. They are later picked up by the trucks.”
A pile of garbage about 100 metres from a government school in the area had everything from plastic waste, kitchen waste and garden waste, to a pair of jeans, clearly indicating that segregation of waste at source was not taking place.
Stating that the civic body had not taken up any awareness drives, Arun R., an autorickshaw driver who lives in the area said, “We also want to live in a clean environment. Earlier, when segregation of waste became compulsory, we used to separate dry and wet waste, but the pourakarmikas would mix it in one bin. So we decided to stop the wasteful exercise.”
Meanwhile, residents of Gandhinagar said that only the main roads in the wards were kept clean, while waste collection in the bylanes and narrow lanes was not taking place effectively.
Parimala P. (22), a homemaker and resident of the Gandhinagar ward, said heaps of garbage lie unattended to in their area. Pointing to garbage near her house, she said, “Nobody comes to clean our area and there are a lot of stray dogs. Recently, one of my neighbours suffered from dengue fever. The authorities concerned have promised us time and again that they will keep the city clean. But nothing has been done.”
When asked if she had heard about the zero garbage programme that was kicked off in her ward, she said, “Zero garbage? What is that?”
Officials from the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) said the delay in implementation of the project was because of the delay in procurement of materials that are needed for processing of dry and wet waste. However, they claimed that residents were fully prepared for the process.
Gopalkrishna, councillor of the Gandhinagar ward, said he had not received any information on how the process could be carried out.
Meanwhile, B.S. Prasad, chief engineer, solid waste management, who is heading the zero garbage project, said it would be implemented from August 1. He also said that the wards chosen already had dry waste collection centres, which would make the process easy.

I moved across the country a few months ago, and I have started to slowly collect a few new stories as I build new friendships with people out here. A problem with that is having to think of new pseudonyms for them, and I don’t think I can continue to use names of recent draft picks from the Edmonton Oilers, as I have done in the past. Maybe I’ll switch to Doctor Who characters…
So I’m out for my friend, Donna’s, birthday. She brings her girlfriend Amy and their friend Rory (afterthought: yeah, I think this’ll do). Since it’s Donna’s birthday, she drinks free until midnight at this bar. We all have a few drinks, and nothing seems crazy, but this night happens to coincide with a karaoke contest. The contestants are not the best singers, and when it’s over, we’re all thankful for it. After the contest, the bar still has normal karaoke for the rest of the night. There are some good performers and some very good songs being sung.
Then, some girl goes up and sings “Georgia On My Mind” by Ray Charles. First of all, this is a great song. Second of all, she is good. Third of all…actually, there is no third of all, I am instantly in love with whoever this enchanting creature is. If I was a sailor in olden times, I’m pretty sure I would have crashed the ship, as a siren’s song can ensnare me with ease. While she is singing this song, I am enthralled, as displayed by my googly-eyes, but I digress.
Donna, Amy, and Rory notice this, and we start to devise how I am going to approach and talk to this angel. Donna and Amy give me normal advice on talking to women, which is always a nice idea to default to; for this, I start and carry on a normal conversation about Ray Charles and songs I like from him. Unfortunately, at this point, I’m way too intimidated to try to strike a normal conversation. Rory offers to pull a similar, “Haaaaave you met Ted?” move; which I feel is something I might be able to do. Although, this also involves me having to pretend that I am a coherent human being, which I am definitely not while around this woman right now.
Then I come with an idea, a brilliant idea. So the plan is that I’m blind. I believe it came about when we were trying to find common ground to talk about Ray Charles.
Step 1: Rory takes me by the arm to go talk to this girl and and introduce me. We’ll talk about Ray Charles and how I’m blind as well.
Step 2: …
Step 3: Her love magically restores my sight.
I start to think I can do this and I’m getting pumped up about talking to her now. Rory is fully on board, while we’re laughing and securing our places in hell. Donna and Amy keep telling us how bad of an idea this is, but now we’re just having more fun making this plan.
I loosen up and it looks like the girl is getting ready to leave soon. Though, now that she is no longer in the context of “Ray Charles Goddess,” I start to look at her and realize she isn’t as cute without my rose-colored glasses. The instant crush dissipates and we all just focus on hanging out.
I realize that I don’t end up talking to anyone in this situation, so technically it isn’t a story about wingmanning. The moral of the story is making sure you have people to strategize with. Even if the ideas are horrible, sometimes it’s just fun to compose these things.

Toyota is taking a fresh look at compressed natural gas as a power source for U.S. automobiles, and plans to unveil a Camry Hybrid concept car powered by the fuel at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November.
PORTLAND — Toyota is taking a fresh look at compressed natural gas as a power source for U.S. automobiles, and plans to unveil a Camry Hybrid concept car powered by the fuel at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November.
Toyota officials made the announcement Tuesday at a sustainability forum in Portland, where they said the abundance, pricing and clean-burning properties of natural gas could make it an attractive fuel in an era of tightening oil supplies and increased regulation of automotive emissions.
Irv Miller, a Toyota Motor Sales group vice president, said compressed natural gas could become a “prime energy source for the future.”
Back in 1999, Toyota marketed a CNG-powered four-cylinder Camry as a fleet vehicle to some California customers. But the program — at a time of much lower oil prices — did not catch on and was discontinued later.

The United States now has about 1,000 CNG refueling stations, with about half of them open to the public, according to Toyota officials.
The new concept car will mix the Toyota’s electric hybrid technology with the CNG technology, but no details of the range of the vehicle were released Tuesday.
In Portland, Toyota officials discussed other research efforts as well, including work to increase the efficiency of the electric-gasoline hybrids that propel the popular Prius and other models.
Toyota also is planning a limited rollout in 2009 of a plug-in Prius that would operate on a lithium ion battery rather than the nickel-metal hydride batteries used in the current Prius. The plug-in could operate for a limited distance solely on the battery, and then could be plugged in to an outlet to be recharged.
Toyota also is researching all-electric cars, and on Tuesday announced it would place four of these vehicles — a version of the RAV4 — in Portland. Those cars, with a range of about 80 miles between charges, are intended to help the city and Oregon develop an electric-charging infrastructure, and will be used by Portland State University to carry people from mass-transit terminals to downtown and suburban locations.

Donald Trump’s Colorado campaign announced Monday that it had secured the support of police unions in Denver, Aurora and Colorado Springs.
The national Fraternal Order of Police endorsed Trump in September. Hillary Clinton did not seek the group’s endorsement and has made criminal justice reform a central theme of her presidential campaign. Some law enforcement groups have disagreed with the decision, but in the weeks since, many local police unions have also endorsed Trump.
In a press release, Trump’s senior advisor in Colorado, Patrick Davis, said the endorsements reflect Trump’s support for “law and order.” Trump has called for a return to “stop and frisk,” a policy that courts have found to be unconstitutional, and the deportation of large numbers of illegal immigrants.
These are the quotes they included from each of the police unions:
Denver Police Protective Association President Nick Rogers: “The Denver Police Protective Association, which represents about 1,400 Denver police officers, is proud to endorse Donald J. Trump to be the next President of our great country. After thoughtful consideration we wholeheartedly believe Mr. Trump is the only candidate that will protect law-abiding citizens from those who choose to break the law. Mr. Trump’s strong support for law enforcement will help Make America Safe Again.”
Aurora Police Association President Bob Wesner: “The Aurora Police Association believes that Donald Trump’s strong support for law enforcement will ensure safer communities in Colorado and across our country. Aurora has already experienced tragedy through the “Century 16 Theater Shooting” and knows firsthand what it means to have leaders and first responders who act quickly to protect our communities. President Trump will support law enforcement and help keep the City of Aurora, the State of Colorado and the United States safe and secure.”
President Mike Singels and Executive Director Sherryl Dillon, Colorado Springs Police Protective Association: “The Board of Directors of the Colorado Springs Police Protective Association, representing the interests of its 850+ members, unanimously voted to endorse Donald Trump for President of the United States of America. Donald Trump’s decisive commitment to both the safety of our citizens and respect for members of the law enforcement community are the motivating factors in providing this endorsement. We believe Mr. Trump represents the best interests of all Americans.”

COVID variants make Fish Oil crucial for healthy immune system function.
COVID is a virus we are just going to have to live with per this article from Nature magazine and many others. Studies show that vaccination improves your chances of recovery 11 to 1 — pretty good odds, but even the vaccinated will get variants so the best thing to do is to boost your immune system and keep on living life.
It’s important to understand the phases of inflammation we are dealing with during Covid infection and other circumstances like chemotherapy, so anytime you get an illness that feels like it’s going to let you recover and then slams you back to the mattress, you’ll know what you can do to help yourself.
If you remember any First Aid or Bio class that talked about the acute inflammatory reactions and the body’s immune response, this may seem familiar:
You cut your finger; the body sends out signals and calls in defensive blood cells to patch you up.
We now know there are more phases to the process than the very simple beginnings and I’d like to explain how Fish Oil relates and can help with the kind of inflammation Covid can cause.
The virus gets in there; the body detects a foreign invader; they called the army of WBCs out; the army gets in there and they bag up as much virus as they can and kill it. At this point, you may feel a little better and think you’re on your way out of the disease.
The problem comes when the garbage sits there, and the first army is exhausted. There is about a 6 to 8-hour window before it explodes and lets even more garbage out into the system, and the body is now completely overwhelmed with junk to fight off.
The immune system needs Fish oil (EPA/DHA) to clean up the garbage bags before they explode. If they explode, you have an even bigger inflammatory response, pain, and symptoms of Covid to slam you down until it’s over for good.
Now for some big words, hang with me because here is where fish oil comes into the picture to help the body through this process.
We need Specialized Pro-resolving Mediators or SPMs to clean up the garbage before it explodes and causes more pain.
Proper levels of Omega-3 fatty acids from 1 to 2 Fish Oil capsules per day can provide the body with these SPMs.
Don’t worry. If you haven’t been taking your fish oil, and you get hit with Covid, you can take SPM capsules and experience a lot less suffering.
I’ve used SPM capsules to help cancer patients who are going through chemotherapy, so they experience a lot less pain and fatigue.
Taking 1 capsule 2 times a day of this “Break Glass in Case of Emergency” option will help you bypass EPA/DHA deficiency and help with inflammation right away.
Curious about your levels? Check your Omega-3s through Lab Corp or Quest Labs to prepare for battle.

Ziessler, a music teacher for Rocky Hill Community Church in Exeter and a private music teacher in Visalia, was taken into custody just after 4 p.m. The pastor of the church, Dave Miller, said church officials are reaching out to the families and hoping to issue a statement later today.
"Our greatest concern is the victims in this case," he said. "Our hearts go out to whoever the victims are. This is an incredible wrongdoing."
Violent crimes Sgt. Kevin Kroeze said the inappropriate touching occurred during a private lesson during a session at Ziessler's private business in the 800 block of Oak Street in Visalia. The victim came forward on Feb. 26. On Tuesday, Kroeze was notified that the suspect in that crime had also been involved with a separate victim that he had met in his role as music director at Rocky Hill Community Church.
According to a statement by Ziessler on his website, Grace Note Music Studio, he began playing music at the age of 5 and played with the Tulare County Symphony from 1999 to 2003. He began teaching music in 2000. He received a full scholarship to BIOLA and later attended College of the Sequoias.
He graduated from Grace Christian Academy Charter School in 2001.
According to this profile, he plays the piano, violin, viola, cello and sings. He performed at local schools across the county, according to his website.
He was booked at the Tulare County Pretrial Facility, transferred to Main Jail in Visalia and is being held on $445,000 bail. He's expected to be in court Thursday for an arraignment.

611 Alexander Talk
28 September 2017 – 28 September 2017, 1:00pm
611 Alexander Studio, Suite #330 – 611 Alexander Street, Vancouver,
For her 611 Talk Christine Major will discuss her site-specific painting installation project The 3915 Sainte-Catherine Est Case in the context of the symposium A Crimp in the Fabric: Situating Painting Today, where she'll be part of the panel Making a Difference: The Effective Capacity of Painting with Charlene Vickers and Francine Savard and moderator Nicole Ondre.
Christine Major painting practice is engaged, concerned with identity and feminist issues, and takes a critical look at the function of the image in the media and its impact on the representation of bodies. Her recent work evokes alternatively, horror films, the macabre art of the Middle Ages and gore literature. She uses fiction to play around with the disturbing figure of "the stranger" in a site-specific painting installation. In order to do this, she diverts images of female stereotypes used to exacerbate the fears and prejudices of the audience by provoking fright, and possibly disgust. She works with collages to develop an hybridization of images in the construction of her paintings. She advocates illegibility and variability in the appropriation of images and exhibition
of her work. She is interested in the monstrous, where pain borders horror when faced with difference.
A representative of a new generation of Canadian painters and based in Montréal, Christine Major (professor in the painting and drawing area of the École des arts visuels et médiatiques at the Université du Québec à Montréal) has exhibited her work at numerous venues in Quebec and Canada. She is currently part of a Virtual exhibition realised by the Galerie de l'UQAM in partnership with the Virtual Museum of Canada, The painting project: A Snapshot of Painting in Canada. She was part of HER NOW, Six Painters from Quebec and Canada in 2016, a group show at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal. Her work is part of different public and private collections.

in conversation with moderators Ben Reeves, Elizabeth McIntosh
Painting has been an object of pleasure, debate and commerce for centuries. Recently it has been the subject of much critical writing, several major publications, provocative exhibitions, and international symposia. While painting in Vancouver has always been aware and informed, and a part of current debates nationally and globally, the symposium organizers feel that there is a real need now, from the position of Vancouver, for a platform and venue to reflect upon and contribute to the knowledge and wisdom of current international painting practices.
The symposium is an opportunity for artists, writers, curators, students, educators and thinkers to come together, and question the relevance and importance of painting today. It will be an opportunity to listen to and discuss issues arising from various and diverse artistic positions represented by panelists, in the context of the many concurrent painting exhibitions occurring throughout Vancouver.
The symposium begins Thursday evening with lecture by keynote speaker, Isabelle Graw (Staatliche Hochschule für bildende Künste, (Städelschule) Frankfurt am Main) who will situate a particular set of questions regarding contemporary painting. On Friday, there will be four panel discussions, each one dealing with a different question in painting and its praxis with opportunities for the audience to engage in question periods. Panelists include local, national and international artists.
This symposium is a timely opportunity to stage a public and academically driven discussion on painting today. In addition to the exhibition Entangled: Two Views on Contemporary Canadian Painting at the Vancouver Art Gallery opening after of the symposium, along with a citywide set of exhibitions about painting that will be taking place in public and commercial galleries in the autumn of 2017.

Keynote Lecture: Isabelle Graw, The Value of Painting
Thursday September 28, 7pm
Reliance Theatre, Emily Carr University of Art + Design
520 East 1st Ave Vancouver
Painting is usually associated with various aesthetic, emotional, symbolic and economic values. In this talk, “Painting” refers to all those (often non-painterly) artistic practices that employ the picture on canvas in manifold ways. Graw will examine the commodity value of painting, considering paintings as unique material objects that nourish a fantasy that their value is substantial and contained within them—valuable because of their specific materiality, and because of the sphere of reception painting exists within.
Graw will argue that despite their materiality, paintings can’t be reduced to their economic dimension; although the luxury industry in particular has tried to learn from painting in recent years, painting’s intellectual prestige has been growing since the early modern times, adding to their status as ideal commodities
Isabelle Graw is a professor of art theory and art history at the Staatliche Hochschule für bildende Künste (Städelschule) Frankfurt am Main, where she co-founded the Institute of Art Criticism. She is an art critic and co-founder of Texte zur Kunst in Berlin. She has edited and contributed to many important books on the medium of painting, most notably Painting Beyond Itself: The Medium in the Post-Medium Condition (Sternberg Press, 2016) and Thinking through Painting. Reflexivity and Agency beyond the Canvas (Sternberg Press, 2012). Her forthcoming book The Love of Painting: Genealogy of a Success Medium aims to establish where painting can be seen today and to reconstruct the historical origins of its current popularity.
Isabelle Graw is a guest of the Goethe-Institut and AHVA UBC

611 Alexander Talk
10 November 2017 – 10 November 2017, 1:00pm
611 Alexander Studio, Suite #330 – 611 Alexander Street, Vancouver, BC
Rickards’ work deals with perception and its description; with how one can translate an encounter, be that with a space, image, object or sound. It examines the relationship between either temporary or permanent elements in a landscape and the perception of groups or individuals to a landscape as a whole, with the sites concerned being used as both a vantage point and a stage for examining our verbal, spatial, auditory and gestural relationship with our surroundings.
Through this process it examines how a landscape might be read as a score, how it might affect ones utterances, movements, perceptions of scale, distance and material, particularly instances where those measures by which we locate ourselves in space become uncertain. Hannah Rickards’ interdisciplinary practice explores the fluxive, non-linear dynamic between site, gesture, staging and recording: integrating elements of the language of performance, film, drawing and installation.
Hannah Rickards lives and works in London. She has held solo exhibitions at Modern Art Oxford, the Fogo Island Gallery, Newfoundland, Artspeak, The Whitechapel Gallery and The Showroom Gallery, London. Her work has been included in group exhibitions at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Palais de Tokyo, and Witte de With, and was included in the recent Hayward Gallery Touring exhibition, ‘Listening’. She received the Max Mara Art Prize for Women in 2008 and in 2015 was awarded the Phillip Leverhulme Prize in Visual and Performing Arts. Rickards is a Lecturer in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, London.

The PET bottle now becomes a major packaging solution for the drinks due to the nature of light weight, good preservationand heat and pressure resistance.
Many drinks especially filled after high temperature sterilization such as flavored water, fruit juice, dairy products and sports drinks choose PET bottles as their packaging. Obviously, the PET packaging container has become the king of the today’s beverage packaging.
The traditional packaging material has gradually replaced by the PET bottle due to the advantages of less environmental pollution, low energy consumption and people nowadays paying more attention to the environmental protection. With its good heat and pressure resistanceproperty, and the PET bottle also can be a better potential packaging material to replace the PVC bottles, aluminum cans, steel cans and glass bottles…
Blow molding Blow molding: Hollow products Molding method: molding method Polyvinyl chloride: PVC Hollow blow molding is to place the tube blank obtained by extrusion or injection molding in a mold, blow compressed air into the tube blank to make it close to the cavity wall, and then cool and demold to obtain a hollow product forming method. This method can produce various plastic containers such as bottles, pots, barrels, daily necessities and children’s toys, etc.
The plastic raw materials used for hollow blow molding are polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, linear resin, polycarbonate and so on. Among them, the consumption of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) occupies the first place. It is widely used in the packaging of food, chemical and processing liquids. Because of its good transparency and air tightness, polyvinyl chloride is widely used in the packaging of cosmetics and detergents. With the development of non-toxic polyvinyl chloride and additives, and the development of pull-up technology blow molding, the use of polyvinyl chloride containers in food packaging has increased rapidly, and has begun to be used for the packaging of beer and other carbon dioxide gas beverages. Others such as PET blow molding containers are also widely used in the production of food, beverage and daily necessities packaging containers. The use of polypropylene (PP) is also increasing year by year due to the improvement of resin modification and processing technology. Compared with ordinary PE single-layer container, the multi-layer composite container PE/PA/PE is difficult to distinguish in appearance, but the difference in performance is very large, especially in terms of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and organic solvent barrier properties. Our company is a professional manufacturer and supporting supplier of high-quality hollow blow molding containers, providing customers with one-stop service from design, mold opening, production to product trademark printing.

As Germany’s constitutional court ruled that the European Central Bank could have exceeded its powers with a massive quantitative easing (QE) effort, the EU was quick to note that European law trumps that of member states.
In Tuesday’s ruling, the Federal Constitutional Court said that the German government failed to challenge the QE programme, launched in 2015 and reactivated last year. The judges in Karlsruhe also ruled that the stimulus scheme, known as the Public Sector Purchase Program (PSPP), did not respect the “principle of proportionality,” signaling that the eurozone’s central bank went too far with its mandate.
“The ECB fails to conduct the necessary balancing of the monetary policy objective against the economic policy effects arising from the programme,” the ruling reads. “By unconditionally pursuing the PSPP’s monetary policy objective….while ignoring its economic policy effects, the ECB manifestly disregards the principle of proportionality.”

In a small county in Northern Alabama, there's a town named for Major Payne. It's not named after the hilarious, quotable 1995 movie starring Damon Wayans. It's named for a little-known U.S. Army officer who was stationed in the area in the 1830s, during the administration of Martin Van Buren — and there's very little that's funny about the real Major Payne.
Then-Capt. John G. Payne took command of the area now known as Fort Payne, Alabama, in the 1880s. Fort Payne was the site of Willstown, a Cherokee settlement where the Cherokee language received its alphabet. The Cherokees were keen to assimilate into the population of the greater United States, but the U.S. would have none of it. Under President Andrew Jackson, the natives were ordered to relocate to Oklahoma — and John Payne was sent to take the first steps.
Today, the area is home of Fort Payne, Alabama, seat of Dekalb County.
In 1830, President Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act, which was supposed to set the stage for a negotiated and voluntary movement of native tribes to areas West of the Mississippi River. Instead, in practice, the act stripped natives of any rights in their current locations and all Native nations were forcibly moved to Oklahoma. The five so-called "civilized" tribes of Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole were most affected.
Those five tribes had homes, farms, schools, and in many cases, functional and effective self-governance. They were not eager to leave all that behind in favor of some unknown land they've never seen. But the United States wasn't really giving them a choice — the U.S. Army would move them at gunpoint, with many in chains.
Martin Van Buren: Andrew Jackson's third term.
By the time Martin Van Buren took office in Washington, the Army was ready to move. In 1838, General Winfield Scott led the Army into areas controlled by the Cherokee, including what is today Fort Payne, Alabama. Waiting for him was a stockade constructed by forces under Major John Payne that was designed as an internment camp for Cherokees waiting to be relocated westward.
The valley where the Cherokee alphabet was first written was also the departure point for most of Alabama's Cherokee along the now-infamous Trail of Tears, and is the only Trail of Tears departure point in the state of Alabama. Thousands of Cherokee and Creek Indians, along with some slaves (yes, Cherokee owned slaves) departed from Fort Payne.
What remains of Payne's stockade today.
Payne himself would go on to settle in Tennessee and Georgia after marrying a woman of Native American descent. By the time of the Civil War, Payne was no longer affiliated with the military, and was living in the south with his wife and five children.
All that remains of Payne's stockade is a stone chimney in the middle of an overgrown wood, a monolith tribute to the thousands of Cherokee that were removed from their homes almost 200 years ago.

Nicholas Alahverdian Wiki
Nicholas Alahverdian Biography
Who was Nicholas Alahverdian?
Nicholas Alahverdian, who is also surnamed Rossi, reportedly died at age 32 in February 2020 from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, but appeared last month at a Glasgow hospital where he was on a ventilator for COVID-19, reported the Wednesday the Providence Journal.
Nicholas Alahverdian is an American child welfare advocate and a convicted s*x offender who faked his own death in 2020. Alahverdian alleged that he suffered abuse and negligence in the Department of Children Youth and Families, Rhode Island’s social service system. Wikipedia
Hospital staff only learned that Alahverdian, who lived under the name Arthur Knight, was wanted by Interpol when authorities showed up at the infirmary last month and arrested him, the Scottish Sun reported.
The fugitive was fleeing criminal charges in Utah and Ohio, and faked his death in order to avoid prosecution, the Utah County Attorney’s Office told the Providence Journal.
“He has been detained and the Utah County Attorney’s Office is working with federal and international agencies to extradite Mr. Rossi to Utah,” the agency said in a statement.
Alahverdian is a suspect in several s*xual assault cases in Utah and across the United States and is also accused of defrauding $ 200,000 from his former adoptive mother in Ohio and $ 60,000 from Kathryn Heckendorn, his ex-wife, the Providence Journal reported.
Weeks before his “death” in February 2020, Alahverdian urged local Rhode Island reporters to write about his impending passing, stating that his crusade work against the child welfare system made him newsworthy, said the medium.
When reporters did not write about it, he was angered, the outlet said.
An obituary written about Alahverdian’s “death” called him a “warrior” for children and stated that his last words were “fear not and run into the bliss of the sun.”
A person claiming to be his wife asked lawmakers to participate in elaborate memorials to his life, but plans were thwarted when word spread that Alahverdian was still potentially alive.
“At first I didn’t believe it,” Heckendorn told the outlet about the time a Utah public safety officer called to tell him that Alahverdian had been captured.
“I said this has to be Nick; he probably hired someone to contact me to analyze the situation, because that is the very special kind of deception that he would do. ”
Alahverdian faces extradition proceedings in the UK, but it is unclear when he will be returned to the United States.

Bulawayo is the second largest city in Zimbabwe, the largest city in the country's Matabeleland. The city's population is disputed. Bulawayo covers an area of about 1,707 square kilometres in the western part of the country, along the Matsh' Amhlope River. Along with the capital Harare, Bulawayo is one of two cities in Zimbabwe that are a province. Bulawayo was founded around 1840 as the kraal of the Ndebele king, his son, succeeded him in the 1860s, ruled from Bulawayo until 1893, when the settlement was captured by British South Africa Company soldiers during the First Matabele War. That year, the first white settlers rebuilt the town; the town was besieged by Ndebele warriors during the Second Matabele War. Bulawayo attained municipality status in 1897, city status in 1943. Bulawayo is, at least the principal industrial centre of Zimbabwe. Bulawayo is the hub of Zimbabwe's rail network and the headquarters of the National Railways of Zimbabwe. In recent years, the city's economy has struggled as many factories either closed or moved operations to Harare.
Still, Bulawayo has the highest Human Development Index in the country, at.649 as of 2017. Bulawayo's central business district covers 5.4 square kilometres in the heart of the city, is surrounded by numerous suburbs towards the outskirts. The majority of the city's population belong to the Ndebele people, with minorities of Shona and other groups. Bulawayo is home to over a dozen colleges and universities, most notably the National University of Science and Technology; the Natural History Museum of Zimbabwe the National Museum, is located in Bulawayo, the city is in close proximity to popular tourist sites like Matobo National Park and the Khami Ruins, World Heritage Site. The city was founded by the Ndebele king, the son of King Mzilikazi born of Matshobana who settled in modern-day Zimbabwe around the 1840s after the Ndebele people's great trek from Nguniland; the name Bulawayo comes from the Ndebele word KoBulawayo meaning "a place where he is being killed". It is thought. A group of Ndebeles not aligned to Prince Lobengula were fighting him as they felt he was not the heir to the throne, hence he gave his capital the name "where he is being killed".
It is said that when King Lobengula named the place "KoBulawayo" his generals asked "who is being killed mtanenkosi?" and he replied "Yimi umntwanenkosi engibulawayo", meaning "it's me, the prince, being killed". At the time Lobengula was a prince fighting to ascend his father's throne, it was common at the time for people to refer to Bulawayo as "KoBulawayo UmntwaneNkosi" "a place where they are fighting or rising against the prince". The name Bulawayo is imported from Nguniland, once occupied by the Khumalo people; the place still exists: It is next to Richards Bay. In the 1860s the city was further influenced by European intrigue, many colonial powers cast covetous eyes on Bulawayo and the land surrounding it. Britain made skillful use of private initiative in the shape of Cecil Rhodes and the Chartered Company to disarm the suspicion of her rivals. Lobengula once described Britain as himself as the fly. During the 1893 Matabele War, the invasion by British South Africa Company troops forced King Lobengula to evacuate his followers, after first detonating munitions and setting fire to the town.
BSAC troops and white settlers occupied the ruins. On 4 November 1893, Leander Starr Jameson declared Bulawayo a settlement under the rule of the British South Africa Company. Cecil Rhodes ordained that the new settlement be founded on the ruins of Lobengula's royal kraal, where the State House stands today. In 1897, the new town of Bulawayo acquired the status of municipality, Lt. Col. Harry White became one of the first mayors. At the outbreak of the Second Matabele War, in March 1896, Bulawayo was besieged by Ndebele forces, a laager was established there for defensive purposes; the Ndebele had experienced the brutal effectiveness of the British Maxim guns in the First Matabele War, so they never mounted a significant attack against Bulawayo though over 10,000 Ndebele warriors could be seen near the town. Rather than wait passively, the settlers mounted patrols, called the Bulawayo Field Force, under Frederick Selous and Frederick Russell Burnham; these patrols attacked the Ndebele. In the first week of fighting, 20 men of the Bulawayo Field Force were killed and 50 were wounded.
An unknown number of Ndebele were wounded. During the siege, conditions in Bulawayo deteriorated. By day, settlers could go to homes and buildings in the town, but at night they were forced to seek shelter in the much smaller laager. Nearly 1,000 women and children were crowded into the small area and false alarms of attacks were common; the Ndebele made a critical error during the siege in neglecting to cut the telegraph lines connecting Bulawayo to Mafikeng. This gave the besieged Bulawayo Field Force and the British relief forces, coming from Salisbury and Fort Victoria 300 miles to the north, from Kimberley and Mafeking 600 miles to the south, far more information than they would otherwise have had. Once the relief forces arrived in late May 1896, the siege was broken and an estimated 50,000 Ndebele retreated into their stronghold, the Matobo H
Zimbabwe the Republic of Zimbabwe, is a landlocked country located in southern Africa, between the Zambezi and Limpopo Rivers, bordered by South Africa, Botswana and Mozambique. The capital and largest city is Harare. A country of 16 million people, Zimbabwe has 16 official languages, with English and Ndebele the most used. Since the 11th century, present-day Zimbabwe has been the site of several organised states and kingdoms as well as a major route for migration and trade; the British South Africa Company of Cecil Rhodes first demarcated the present territory during the 1890s. In 1965, the conservative white minority government unilaterally declared independence as Rhodesia; the state endured a 15-year guerrilla war with black nationalist forces. Zimbabwe joined the Commonwealth of Nations, from which it was suspended in 2002 for breaches of international law by its then-government, from which it withdrew in December 2003; the sovereign state is a member of the United Nations, the Southern African Development Community, the African Union, the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa.
It was once known as the "Jewel of Africa" for its prosperity under the former Rhodesian administration. Robert Mugabe became Prime Minister of Zimbabwe in 1980, when his ZANU-PF party won the elections following the end of white minority rule. Under Mugabe's authoritarian regime, the state security apparatus dominated the country and was responsible for widespread human rights violations. Mugabe maintained the revolutionary socialist rhetoric of the Cold War era, blaming Zimbabwe's economic woes on conspiring Western capitalist countries. Contemporary African political leaders were reluctant to criticise Mugabe, burnished by his anti-imperialist credentials, though Archbishop Desmond Tutu called him "a cartoon figure of an archetypal African dictator"; the country has been in economic decline since the 1990s, experiencing several crashes and hyperinflation along the way. On 15 November 2017, in the wake of over a year of protests against his government as well as Zimbabwe's declining economy, Mugabe was placed under house arrest by the country's national army in a coup d'état.
On 19 November 2017, ZANU-PF sacked Robert Mugabe as party leader and appointed former Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa in his place. On 21 November 2017, Mugabe tendered his resignation prior to impeachment proceedings being completed. On 30 July 2018 Zimbabwe held its general elections, won by the ZANU-PF party led by Emmerson Mnangagwa. Nelson Chamisa, leading the main opposition party MDC Alliance contested the election results and filed a petition to the Constitution Court of Zimbabwe; the court confirmed Mnangagwa's victory. The name "Zimbabwe" stems from a Shona term for Great Zimbabwe, an ancient ruined city in the country's south-east whose remains are now a protected site. Two different theories address the origin of the word. Many sources hold that "Zimbabwe" derives from dzimba-dza-mabwe, translated from the Karanga dialect of Shona as "houses of stones"; the Karanga-speaking Shona people live around Great Zimbabwe in the modern-day province of Masvingo. Archaeologist Peter Garlake claims that "Zimbabwe" represents a contracted form of dzimba-hwe, which means "venerated houses" in the Zezuru dialect of Shona and references chiefs' houses or graves.
Zimbabwe was known as Southern Rhodesia and Zimbabwe Rhodesia. The first recorded use of "Zimbabwe" as a term of national reference dates from 1960 as a coinage by the black nationalist Michael Mawema, whose Zimbabwe National Party became the first to use the name in 1961; the term "Rhodesia"—derived from the surname of Cecil Rhodes, the primary instigator of British colonisation of the territory during the late 19th century—was perceived by African nationalists as inappropriate because of its colonial origin and connotations. According to Mawema, black nationalists held a meeting in 1960 to choose an alternative name for the country, proposing names such as "Matshobana" and "Monomotapa" before his suggestion, "Zimbabwe", prevailed. A further alternative, put forward by nationalists in Matabeleland, had been "Matopos", referring to the Matopos Hills to the south of Bulawayo, it was unclear how the chosen term was to be used—a letter written by Mawema in 1961 refers to "Zimbabweland" — but "Zimbabwe" was sufficiently established by 1962 to become the preferred term of the black nationalist movement.
In a 2001 interview, black nationalist Edson Zvobgo recalled that Mawema mentioned the name during a political rally, "and it caught hold, and, that". The black nationalist factions subsequently used the name during the Second Chimurenga campaigns against the Rhodesian government during the Rhodesian Bush War of 1964–1979. Major factions in this camp included the Zimbabwe African National Union, the Zimbabwe African People's Union. Archaeological records date human settlement of present-day Zimbabwe to at least 100,000 years ago; the earliest known inhabitants were San people, who left behind arrowheads and cave paintings. The first Bantu-speaking farmers arrived during the Bantu expansion around 2000 years ago. Societies speaking proto-Shona languages fir

Unique motorcycle Rasc Triumph with propeller (?) 3×2 was built in 1926 on Triumph 500 SV model P Mk2 units. It was rebuilt from 2×1 to 3×2 by Service Corps Royal Army (RASC) order.
It was built in only one exemplar. Apparently off-road abilities of this machine were excellent. Idea wasn’t developed because mobility of their regular motorcycle got better.
Nowadays you can find RASC Triumph in Museum of Army Transport, Beverley, and museum staff regret that it probably will never be fully restored and showed cause they can’t find authentic 11″ tires of rare wheels.
Third and last, 350-cc Triumph was tested in England in 1929. After that they’ve decided that heavy machine doesn’t worth their attention and forgot about this prototype. As about all the other ones.
