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.

Wilmington 1898 — An American Coup

Wilmington, North Carolina once had a thriving Black middle class and an elected interracial government. In 1898 white supremacists used violence to overthrow that government, kill Black residents and drive many others from the city.

The EL/M-2258 ALPHA ("Advanced Lightweight Phased Array") is a multi-function active electronically scanned array naval radar system. It was developed by IAI Elta, for maritime installation on medium-sized combat ships such as corvettes, frigates and larger vessels. It is capable of tracking both air and surface targets, providing fire control and splash spotting guidance with target classification. ALPHA is an acronym of Advanced Lightweight Phased Array Naval Radars.

M-ALPHA

M-ALPHA, also known as 3,4-methylenedioxy-α-ethyl-N-methylbenzylamine or as α-ethyl-N-methylpiperonylamine, is a psychoactive drug of the substituted benzylamine group. It was reported by Alexander Shulgin in his book PIHKAL as a positional isomer of MDMA. Subsequently, the drug was encountered as a designer drug in the United Kingdom in 2010 and was reported to the EMCDDA new drug monitoring service. It was described by Shulgin as similar in action to its demethylated homologue, ALPHA, but with roughly twice the duration and twice the potency. ALPHA itself was described as active at doses of 10 to 140 mg, with a duration of about 3 hours, and producing eyes-closed "dreams", some body tingling, and a pleasant positive feeling, but without any appetite suppression. M-ALPHA was encountered as a designer drug by 2010.

KCNMA1

Calcium-activated potassium channel subunit alpha-1 also known as large conductance calcium-activated potassium channel, subfamily M, alpha member 1 (KCa1.1), or BK channel alpha subunit, is a voltage gated potassium channel encoded by the KCNMA1 gene and characterized by their large conductance of potassium ions (K+) through cell membranes.

Struve function

In mathematics, the Struve functions Hα(x), are solutions y(x) of the non-homogeneous Bessel's differential equation: x 2 d 2 y d x 2 + x d y d x + ( x 2 − α 2 ) y = 4 ( x 2 ) α + 1 π Γ ( α + 1 2 ) {\displaystyle x^{2}{\frac {d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}}+x{\frac {dy}{dx}}+\left(x^{2}-\alpha ^{2}\right)y={\frac {4\left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)^{\alpha +1}}{{\sqrt {\pi }}\Gamma \left(\alpha +{\frac {1}{2}}\right)}}} introduced by Hermann Struve (1882). The complex number α is the order of the Struve function, and is often an integer. And further defined its second-kind version K α ( x ) {\displaystyle \mathbf {K} _{\alpha }(x)} as K α ( x ) = H α ( x ) − Y α ( x ) {\displaystyle \mathbf {K} _{\alpha }(x)=\mathbf {H} _{\alpha }(x)-Y_{\alpha }(x)} , where Y α ( x ) {\displaystyle Y_{\alpha }(x)} is the Neumann function. The modified Struve functions Lα(x) are equal to −ie−iαπ / 2Hα(ix) and are solutions y(x) of the non-homogeneous Bessel's differential equation: x 2 d 2 y d x 2 + x d y d x − ( x 2 + α 2 ) y = 4 ( x 2 ) α + 1 π Γ ( α + 1 2 ) {\displaystyle x^{2}{\frac {d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}}+x{\frac {dy}{dx}}-\left(x^{2}+\alpha ^{2}\right)y={\frac {4\left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)^{\alpha +1}}{{\sqrt {\pi }}\Gamma \left(\alpha +{\frac {1}{2}}\right)}}} And further defined its second-kind version M α ( x ) {\displaystyle \mathbf {M} _{\alpha }(x)} as M α ( x ) = L α ( x ) − I α ( x ) {\displaystyle \mathbf {M} _{\alpha }(x)=\mathbf {L} _{\alpha }(x)-I_{\alpha }(x)} , where I α ( x ) {\displaystyle I_{\alpha }(x)} is the modified Bessel function of the first kind.

TOPIC OF THE DAY

Greenwood / Black Wall Street

Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
