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.

Quest KACE, formerly Dell KACE, is a company that specializes in computer appliances for systems management of information technology equipment. It also provides software for security, application virtualization, and systems management products. Established in 2003, KACE was headquartered in Mountain View, California with offices in Europe and Asia.

History

[edit]

KACE started in 2003 when Rob Meinhardt and Marty Kacin founded and self-funded the company for over two years. KACE subsequently received venture capital funding from Sigma Partners, Norwest Venture Partners, and Focus Ventures. KACE developed appliances designed to help IT personnel more efficiently provision, manage, secure, and service network-connected devices.[citation needed]

In 2007, their competitors included Altiris, Novell ZENworks, BigFix, LANDesk, as well as, products for other larger companies.[1] On February 11, 2010, KACE announced its acquisition by Dell.[2] KACE family appliances were then sold by Dell. In 2012, KACE became a part of the Dell Software group.[3]

On November 1, 2016, Francisco Partners and Elliot Management acquired the Dell Software Group,[4] which was re-launched as Quest Software.[5] KACE products are currently part of the Quest Software portfolio.[6]

Architecture

[edit]

Since before the company's acquisition by Dell, KACE appliances were sold as physical Dell PowerEdge servers with open-source software technologies.[citation needed] All appliances are available as virtual appliances that can run on VMware ESX, VMware ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-V.[citation needed] Trial versions of the appliances can also run on VMware Player.[citation needed] The appliances are currently not available as physical appliances.[citation needed]

KACE uses FreeBSD, and all collected data is stored in a number of MariaDB databases.[citation needed] Although, all management of the device and the data in the system goes (only) via the web-GUI, users have developed their own interfaces with other management systems by accessing the databases directly.[citation needed] It is also possible to integrate a KACE appliance in third party IT management suites.[citation needed]

KAIV

KAIV, licensed to Thousand Oaks, California, United States, and KYZA, licensed to Adelanto, California, are radio stations on 92.7 MHz broadcasting the Air1 Christian radio network to areas north of Los Angeles. The stations are owned alongside Air1 by the Educational Media Foundation. KAIV serves Ventura County and far northwestern Los Angeles County, while KYZA covers the Victor Valley. The two stations had independent histories prior to 1997. The Victor Valley station started life in 1959 as Riverside-based KACE-FM, and KNJO signed on four years later to serve Thousand Oaks and the Conejo Valley. In the 1990s, the Amaturo Group acquired these two stations and a third 92.7 facility—KRCI, originally on Catalina Island. After the latter was moved off the mainland, in 1997, all three stations were combined into a new regional radio service, the beautiful music–formatted Lite 92.7. The Riverside station moved to the Victor Valley in 2002. Amaturo changed the brand on the trimulcast twice: to female-leaning adult hits in 2005 under the Jill FM moniker and to classic hits as Playlist FM in 2011. On December 1, 2012, the Educational Media Foundation began leasing the signals while it purchased them, integrating them into its Air1 network. In 2025, KYLA (the former KRCI) split from the trimulcast to switch to the EMF-owned Radio Nueva Vida.
