MY'STORY

The MOVE Fire

This is a personal recollection on the Move fire on May 13, 1985 Philadelphia police fired thousands of rounds at the MOVE house, city officials approved dropping an explosive device on the roof, the resulting fire was allowed to burn, 11 people—including five children—died, and 61 homes were destroyed. Philadelphia City Council later called it a “brutal attack carried out by the City of Philadelphia on its own citizens” and acknowledged that no individual faced criminal consequences for the bombing. One timeline correction worth preserving for the BHP record: the major previous MOVE-police confrontation was August 8, 1978, about seven years before the bombing, not a year or two earlier. Officer James Ramp was killed, other police and firefighters were wounded, nine MOVE members were later convicted, and television cameras recorded police beating Delbert Africa during his arrest. The 1985 MOVE Commission later specifically criticized city planners for failing to adequately use lessons from that 1978 confrontation. And that actually strengthens the point you’re making: 1985 did not happen without precedent or institutional memory. There had already been a deadly confrontation with MOVE, years of conflict, negotiations and police involvement before Osage Avenue.

NGC 4511 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major.[6][2] It is currently classified as a type Sb(c?) galaxy.[3][8][6][1] The galaxy was first discovered in 1790 by astronomer William Herschel.[5] The compiler of the New General Catalogue, John Louis Emil Dreyer, described the galaxy as, "pretty faint, very small, irregular round, very gradually brighter middle."[9]

According to measurements relative to the Cosmic microwave background, its radial velocity is 4757±11 km/s, corresponding to a Hubble distance of 70.2±4.9 Mpc.[citation needed]

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP ) is an Internet protocol for accessing directory information services that act in accordance with X.500 data and service models." A full description of the protocol can be found in the "Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Technical Specification Road Map" RFC 4510 and its references. Directory services play an important role in developing intranet and Internet applications by allowing the sharing of information about users, systems, networks, services, and applications throughout the network. As examples, directory services may provide any organized set of records, often with a hierarchical structure, such as a corporate email directory. Similarly, a telephone directory is a list of subscribers with an address and a phone number. A common use of LDAP is to provide a central place to store usernames and passwords. This allows many different applications and services to connect to the LDAP server to validate users. LDAP is a simpler (lightweight) subset of the standards in the X.500 series, particularly the X.511 Directory Access Protocol. Because of this relationship, LDAP is sometimes called X.500 Lite. The main components of LDAP are: Protocol (RFC 4511): An application protocol that runs over an Internet Protocol (IP) network used to communicate with a directory service Directory Information Models (RFC 4512): A specification for systems that implement directory services, i.e., "a collection of open systems cooperating to provide directory services" Schema for User Applications (RFC 4519): A standard and extensible data schema for information to be help in a directory service - a "specification of attribute types and object classes intended for use by LDAP"

Frontenac (grape)

Frontenac (French pronunciation: [fʁɔ̃tnak]) is an interspecific hybrid grapevine that is a result of research and crossbreeding by the University of Minnesota. It was grown from a crossing of the complex interspecific hybrid Landot 4511 and a very cold-hardy selection of Vitis riparia. It was released in 1996. Frontenac gris is a white wine version of Frontenac, introduced in 2003. It started as a single bud mutation of Frontenac, yielding gray (thus named gris) fruit and amber-colored juice. Frontenac blanc was introduced in 2012 from white fruited mutations found in both Frontenac and Frontenac gris vines in Minnesota and Canada.

Clitoris

In amniotes, the clitoris ( KLIT-ər-iss or klih-TOR-iss; pl.: clitorises or clitorides) is a female sex organ. In humans, it is the vulva's most erogenous area and generally the primary anatomical source of female sexual pleasure. The clitoris is a complex structure, and its size and sensitivity can vary. The visible portion, the glans, of the clitoris is typically roughly the size and shape of a pea and is estimated to have more than 10,000 nerve endings. Sometimes in common speech, clitoris or clit is used to solely reference the glans. Sexological, medical, and psychological debate has focused on the clitoris, and it has been subject to social constructionist analyses and studies. Such discussions range from anatomical accuracy, gender inequality, female genital mutilation, and orgasmic factors and their physiological explanation for the G-spot. The only known purpose of the human clitoris is to provide sexual pleasure. Knowledge of the clitoris is significantly affected by its cultural perceptions. Studies suggest that knowledge of its existence and anatomy is scant in comparison with that of other sexual organs (especially male sex organs) and that more education about it could help alleviate stigmas, such as the idea that the clitoris and vulva in general are visually unappealing or that female masturbation is taboo and disgraceful. The clitoris is homologous to the majority of the penis in males.
