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.

DevelopersSimSci, Invensys, Schneider Electric, AVEVA
Operating systemMicrosoft Windows
TypeSteady State, Chemical Process Optimization
LicenseProprietary
WebsiteROMeo Official Homepage

ROMeo[1][2]Rigorous Online Modelling and Equation Based Optimization is an advanced online chemical process optimizer of SimSci, a brand of Aveva software[3] It is mainly used by process engineers in the chemical, petroleum and natural gas industries.

It includes a chemical component library, thermodynamic property prediction methods, and unit operations such as distillation columns, heat exchangers, compressors, and reactors as found in the chemical processing industries. It can perform steady state mass and energy balance calculations for modeling, simulating and optimizing continuous processes.[4][5]

ROMeo 6.0 has been released with increased access to native Refinery Process Models based on technology from ExxonMobil.

From ROMeo 7.0, ROMeo changed from 32 bit to 64bit.

ROMeo changed the name to AVEVA Process Optimization from 2020 version.

History of Alfa Romeo

The history of Alfa Romeo, an Italian car manufacturer known for producing sports cars, began on June 24, 1910, with the founding of ALFA (an acronym for "Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili") in Milan. In 1918 the company changed its name to "Alfa Romeo" following the acquisition of control of the company by Nicola Romeo. In 1933 ownership of Alfa Romeo passed, through IRI, to the Italian state because of the heavy debt the company had incurred with banks since the previous decade. Alfa Romeo continued to produce cars in a semi-craftsmanship manner until the early 1950s, when it transformed into a full-fledged automobile manufacturer with the introduction of the assembly line in the production departments. From this decade on, Alfa Romeo experienced a phase of growing success that reached its peak in the 1960s. In the 1970s, however, there was a turnaround that caused a deep crisis. The failing finances then led the Italian state, in 1986, to sell the automaker to the Fiat group. The revival of Alfa Romeo took place in the second part of the 1990s. In 2014, it became part of the brands controlled by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and from 2021 by Stellantis.

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.
