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.

It is built on the open standards and technologies HTML5, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery.[3] This library is used for developing responsive web and mobile applications.[4] Some developers consider jQWidgets one of the top alternatives to the open-source jQuery UI.[5][6][7]

Some notable users of jQWidgets include Green Card Program USA, the French citizen portal Vie-publique.fr,[8] the University of Iowa[9] and the University of Maryland.[10] The framework is also used in NSB/AppStudio.[11]

jQWidgets has been integrated with a variety of other frameworks and web technologies, such as Vue.js,[12] React,[13] Angular 2+, AngularJS, TypeScript, Apache Cordova, WordPress, Joomla, Bootstrap and Knockout.[14]

Features

[edit]

jQWidgets features more than 60 widgets and plug-ins.[14] Some of the most used of them[15] are:

Smart HTML Elements

[edit]

In 2018, JQWidgets Ltd released Smart HTML Elements, a framework with widgets which are represented by Custom HTML elements (a functionality part of Web Components). The framework is built with HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript and is not dependent on any third-party software. It supports modern[as of?] web browsers and mobile devices.[24][25]

Smart HTML Elements also provides arbitrary-precision arithmetic and mathematical functions and DateTime precision up to a yoctosecond (10−24 second).[24]

Smart HTML Elements has been featured on the website webcomponents.org, which showcases reusable web UI components.[26]

Smart HTML Elements also includes UI components for Angular, React, Vue and Blazor. As of January 2021, Admin & Dashboard Templates are available.[citation needed]
