The May 2004 Caribbean floods were a flood event that took place in the Caribbean Islands, mainly Hispaniola and some parts of Northern Puerto Rico from May 18, 2004 to May 25, 2004.
The storm caused significant rainfall, with over 9.7 inches of rain falling at the most in Haiti, and 10 inches falling at the most in the Dominican Republic.
 These floods were caused by over two weeks of persistent rain in the Caribbean area, which eventually caused the landslides that killed many people.
 The floods caused much damage in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, with over 1,300 homes being destroyed and about 2,000 people being killed.Due to this destruction, nearly 15,000 people were displaced with nowhere to live.
 The area that felt the worst of the flooding was the town of Jimani, near the border of Haiti and the Dominican Republic.In fact, the destruction present at Jimani was so bad that Dominican president Hipolito Mejia declared a national day of mourning after seeing the effects of the storm.
The El Ayyat train disaster happened at 02:00 on the morning of 20 February 2002 in an eleven-carriage passenger train travelling from Cairo to Luxor.
 A cooking gas cylinder exploded in the fifth carriage, creating a fire which engulfed seven third-class carriages, reducing them almost to cinders.
 The initial number of dead given by officials at the time was 383, all Egyptians.
 However, considering that seven carriages were burnt to the ground, and each carriage was packed with at least double the maximum carrying capacity of 150, this number is considered by many people to be a great underestimate.
 The dubious nature of the given death toll lies with the absence of a full passenger list; accounting for those missing was almost impossible at the time.
 In addition, the fire was so intense and the carriages so badly burned that many corpses had been reduced to ash.
 As there was no means of communication between the driver and the rear carriages, the driver did not know of the fire until about two hours after it had begun, resulting in many people, attempting to flee from the overcrowded carriages, jumping to their death.
 Some important Egyptians have commentated that the official number of 383 dead is grossly inaccurate and was an attempt to lessen the damage done to the reputation of the government.
 Many people consider a number of about 1000 deaths to be more accurate.
Drug corridor is the name given to various paths in the U.S., generally being coterminal with major highways and interstates, that are major highways for the flow of illicit drugs into, out of, and across the U.S.
 There is no definitive drug corridor, as many people claim that their city lies in a drug corridor (just as many people claim that their city is the "meth capital of the world").
 Many sources, however, corroborate that the main arteries of drug flow are east–west across the U.S., North from Mexico, and South from Canada.
 Most of the marijuana and cocaine imported into the U.S. flows from Latin America across the U.S.–Mexican border, while many imported synthetic drugs and former designer drugs flow south from Canada.
The Kirkwood City Council shooting occurred on February 7, 2008, in Kirkwood, Missouri, United States; a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri in St. Louis County.
 A gunman went on a shooting rampage at a public meeting in the city hall, leaving six people dead and two others injured.
 Charles Lee "Cookie" Thornton, 52, shot one police officer with a revolver across the side street from city hall and took the officer's handgun before entering city hall.
 Thornton reached council chambers with these two pistols shortly after the meeting began.
 There, he shot a police officer, the public works director, two council members, the mayor, and a reporter.
 In total, the gunman killed five and wounded two others; one of the two wounded victims, the mayor, later died.
 He was then shot and killed by police.
Leon Gary Plauche (November 10, 1945 – October 20, 2014) was a native of Louisiana, known for the 1984 killing of Jeff Doucet, who had kidnapped and sexually assaulted his son, Jody Plauche.
 The killing occurred on Friday, March 16, 1984, and it was captured on camera by a news television crew.
 Although Plauche shot and killed Doucet, he was given a 7 year suspended sentence with five years probation and 300 hours of community service for the shooting and received no jail time.
 The case received wide publicity because many people questioned whether Plauche should be charged with murder or be let off.
 Plauche claimed to believe until his death that he was in the right, and that those in a similar position would have done the same thing.
Garry John Purdham (20 October 1978 – 2 June 2010) was an English professional rugby league player and farmer.
 He was killed in the 2010 Cumbria shootings.
The Cumbria shootings was a killing spree that occurred on 2 June 2010 when a lone gunman, Derrick Bird, killed 12 people and injured 11 others before killing himself in Cumbria, England.
 Along with the 1987 Hungerford massacre, the 1989 Monkseaton shootings, and the 1996 Dunblane school massacre, it is one of the worst criminal acts involving firearms in British history.
The Niles Canyon ghost story is the Northern California variation on the vanishing hitchhiker archetype.
 There are many different variations of this story depending on whom you ask.
 All stories include a girl being involved in some sort of motorized vehicle accident on February 26 (year often changed).
 One variation of the story includes a girl being involved in a car crash on Niles Canyon road (off the 680 freeway in Sunol, California) on the way to her prom.
 The girl died on impact and to this day is said to haunt Niles Canyon road every February 26.
 The tale of the haunting goes that people traveling along Niles Canyon road (now Highway 84) on the night of February 26 will see a normal-looking high school-aged girl walking along the road in a prom dress (many people have said it is white).
 People traveling along the road (mostly those traveling alone) have said to have stopped and offered the girl a ride.
 She accepts the ride, giving the driver an address across the bridge (either Dumbarton or Bay Bridge depending on the storyteller).
 Once the driver gets to the beginning of the bridge, the girl will disappear.
 Sometimes people have gone to the address to find that a girl many years ago matching that description once lived there.
 Today, many people will travel along this treacherous pitch black road in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the Niles Canyon ghost.
Although spinal cord injury (SCI) often causes sexual dysfunction, many people with SCI are able to have satisfying sex lives.
 Physical limitations acquired from SCI affect sexual function and sexuality in broader areas, which in turn has important effects on quality of life.
 Damage to the spinal cord impairs its ability to transmit messages between the brain and parts of the body below the level of the lesion.
 This results in lost or reduced sensation and muscle motion, and affects orgasm, erection, ejaculation, and vaginal lubrication.
 More indirect causes of sexual dysfunction include pain, weakness, and side effects of medications.
 Psycho-social causes include depression and altered self-image.
 Many people with SCI have satisfying sex lives, and many experience sexual arousal and orgasm.
 People with SCI employ a variety of adaptations to help carry on their sex lives healthily, by focusing on different areas of the body and types of sexual acts.
 Neural plasticity may account for increases in sensitivity in parts of the body that have not lost sensation, so people often find newly sensitive erotic areas of the skin in erogenous zones or near borders between areas of preserved and lost sensation.
Kume no Heinai-dō (久米平内堂 ) is a small folk shrine located in Asakusa in Taitō, Tokyo.
 The shrine houses a stone statue of Kume no Heinai, a samurai from the early Edo period (17th century).
 According to the Asakusa tourism bureau, there are few facts about the life of Kume no Heinai, but he is said to have died in 1683.
 Oral tradition holds that Heinai excelled in Kenjutsu, the martial art of swordsmanship, killing many people over the years.
 In the latter half of his life, he is said to have lived in the Sensō-ji temple in Asakusa where he devoted himself to Zen-Buddhism and held religious services in honor of the people he killed.
 Shortly before his death he ordered his followers to carve his likeness on a stone and bury it near the Niōmon – the entrance to the Buddhist temple and a busy district in the city.
 His wish was to have his statue be stepped on by as many people as possible in order to expiate the crimes he committed in life.
 The statue was eventually retrieved and is now stored inside the shrine itself.
 It is because of this that the shrine initially carried the name "Fumitsuke" (踏みつけ ) , which means "to tread on", but over time the meaning was lost and the shrine's name came to be spelled 文付け, which means "love letter".
 Both words are pronounced "Fumitsuke" and the shrine is now worshipped by the general public as a deity of marriage and match-making.
 Kume no Heinai-dō was destroyed in March 1945 during World War II.
 The current temple was rebuilt in October 1978.
