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.

Multigrain bread

Multigrain bread is a type of bread prepared with two or more types of grain.[1] Grains used include barley, flax, millet, oats, wheat, and whole-wheat flour,[2][3] among others. Some varieties include edible seeds in their preparation,[4] such as flaxseed, quinoa, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.[3][5] Rye and sourdough multigrain breads are additional varieties.[4][6][7] Preparations include 7-grain and 9-grain bread,[8] among others.

Multigrain bread may be prepared using whole, unprocessed grains,[9] although commercial varieties do not necessarily always contain whole grains.[1]

Nutritional content

[edit]

Whole grain multigrain breads contain a dietary fibre content of up to four times greater than white breads[4][10] and may also contain more vitamins and protein compared to white bread.[11] Multigrain breads also provide complex carbohydrates.[12]

Commercial varieties

[edit]

Multigrain bread is commercially mass-produced and marketed to consumers.[13] Some commercial varieties are prepared using 100% whole grain flour.[13] Between 1989 and 1994 in the United States, multigrain bread was "one of the fastest growing markets within the bakery sector".[14]

Use in brewing

[edit]

A 4,000-year-old Mesopotamian recipe for brewing beer from multigrain loaves of bread mixed with honey is the oldest surviving beer recipe in the world.[15] The Brussels Beer Project microbrewery in Belgium has developed an amber beer with a 7% alcohol by volume named Babylone that incorporates this recipe using leftover, unsold fresh bread donated by supermarkets.[15][16][17]

Carrot bread

Carrot bread is a type of quick bread, and may also be prepared as a yeast-leavened bread, in which carrots are used as a primary ingredient for flavor, moisture, and natural sweetness. It may be prepared with grated, shredded carrots, or carrot juice. Baking times can vary depending on the amount of juice in the carrots used, and it may be a moist bread. The moisture content of carrot bread can vary depending on whether grated carrots, shredded carrots, or carrot juice is used, which influences both texture and baking time. Carrot bread may have an orange color derived from carrot juice or the carrots used. Additional ingredients used in the preparation of carrot bread may include zucchini (although zucchini itself can be made into zucchini bread), buttermilk, eggs, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, walnuts, ginger and raisins. Carrot bread can be prepared as a sourdough and/or multigrain bread. It may be eaten plain, served with butter, or topped with an icing or glaze. Carrot bread can be served as a means to increase vegetable intake in diets.
