Great Flood of 1993

The Great Flood of 1993 was a major natural disaster. It affected nine states, mostly between April and September 1993. It involved the Mississippi and Missouri rivers.
Storms with heavy rain began hitting the same locations over and over again. This pattern began repeating in late April and early May. It lasted until September in some areas. Eastern Iowa, Missouri and Illinois were especially hard-hit.
The flood was the costliest in the history of the United States. Damage totaled $15 billion, although some estimates go as high as $20 billion.
There were thirty-two deaths because of the flood. Some estimates put the death toll at 50.

State Department's annual reports on religious freedom for 2007 expressed concern over organized societal attacks against religious minority in India. Some state governments in India have been accused of not effectively prosecuting those who attack religious minorities.

Cartography

Cartography is making maps. It is part of geography. How people make maps is always changing. In the past, maps were drawn by hand, but today most printed maps are made using computers and people usually see maps on computer screens. Someone who makes maps is called a cartographer.
Making a map can be as simple as drawing a direction on a napkin, or as complicated as showing a whole country or world. Anyone can make a map, but cartographers spend their lives learning how to make better maps.
For many centuries maps were usually carefully drawn onto paper or parchment. Now they are made on a computer which makes them look neater with accurate images.
Maps are of two main types:
General maps with a variety of features.
Thematic maps with particular themes for specific audiences.
General maps are produced in a series. Governments produce them in larger-scale and smaller-scale maps of great detail.
Thematic maps are now very common. They are necessary to show spatial, cultural and social data.

Cryptosporidium

Cryptosporidium is a protozoan parasite which causes outbreaks of diarrhea.
A number of species of Cryptosporidium can infect mammals. The most common species to infect man is Cryptosporidium parvum. The diarrhea can become severe in children, and in people whose immune system is weakened. It is often found in HIV patients who have diarrhea. In healthy adults, the infection is usually brief.
It is difficult to identify in the laboratory. The oocytes can be seen under a microscope, but they may be confused. Most cryptosporidia are 3-6 mm in size, but some reports have described larger cells. New real-time monitoring can detect Cryptosporidium better than the older spot testing and batch testing methods.
If Cryptosporidium is suspected in the water, the safest option is to boil water used for drinking.

Parents Music Resource Center

The Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) was an American organization. It was established in 1985. The founders of this organization were Pam Howar, Tipper Gore (the wife of Al Gore), Sally Nevius and Susan Baker.
Their stated goal was increasing parental control over the access of children of music that had violent themes, sexual lyrics, themes of drugs or other substandard behaviors in the lyrics by labeling studio albums under Parental Advisory stickers.
Actions
As a method for tackling the problem, the PMRC wanted a voluntary move by the RIAA or the music industry. PMRC wanted them to develop a similar rating system to the Motion Picture Association of America. Other recommendations by the PMRC which appeared in an article in the Washington Post were: printing warnings and song lyrics on album covers, forcing record stores to put albums having explicit covers under the counters.
Filthy Fifteen
The PMRC made a list of fifteen songs in music. At that time, they found the songs the most objectionable. These songs are listed under the "Filthy Fifteen" list by the PMRC, with the reasons for which the songs are listed.
The Parental Advisory sticker
On November 1, 1985, the RIAA agreed to put "Parental Advisory" stickers on certain releases at their own discretion. Many record stores wouldn't sell albums having the label (for example: Walmart). Others limited the sales of such albums to adults.
Musician/singer reaction
The Iceberg/Freedom of Speech... Just Watch What You Say!, the 1989 album from American rapper Ice-T, goes against Tipper Gore. One song on the album, "Freedom of Speech", is an extended attack om Gore.
The liner notes of Sonic Youth's 1990 album Goo have a cartoon with a caption saying: "SMASH THE PMRC".
The Aerosmith song "F.I.N.E.", from their 1989 studio album Pump, talks about Tipper Gore in the line "Even Tipper thinks I'm alright." This song has references to sex.

An Inspector Calls

An Inspector Calls is a play written in 1945 by the British playwright J. B. Priestley, but set in 1912. Its socialist views ran against the capitalist views of many theatres visitors. It was first performed in 1946 in two Moscow theatres. It was then first produced in London at the New Theatre on 1 October 1946.
The play shows the way in which people are all connected, and reflects Priestley's socialist views while outlining the problems he saw with capitalism. The main themes in the play are an equitable (fair) society, responsibility and love.
Dramatic presentation
The play is set in the town of Brumley. It is about a police inspector, Inspector Goole, who questions a family about the suicide of a young woman whom the family knew. Many events which happen after the play are contradicted by Arthur Birling, such as the Titanic being unsinkable and that war with Germany would never happen. These are examples of dramatic irony.
The play takes place in one set (the dining room of the Birlings' house), in real time. This is a dramatic device which keeps the audience's attention on the dialogue as well as the timing of the entrances and exits. Foreshadowing is used throughout the play.
Another dramatic technique or device used is how Priestley ends his acts. Each time, near the end of the act, the inspector drops a bombshell of information that we are to think about. He makes us ponder over all that happened in that act.
Dramatic devices
J. B. Priestley uses dramatic devices and dramatic irony to signal characters and introduce the inspector. For example, the house is pink and intimate while they are celebrating the engagement, but when the sharp ring of a door bell is heard, the lighting changes to a brighter and harder colour. Some believe that it represents an interrogation room due to the bright lights that are shining on the Birlings as the inspector comes in and picks the story out of them bit by bit. Dramatic irony is used throughout the play to create prejudice between Mr. Birling and the audience.

15 February 2003 anti-war protests

On February 15, 2003, there was a day of protests across the world. The protests were to express people's opposition to the imminent invasion of Iraq. They were held in more than 600 cities. It was part of a series of protests and political events that had begun in 2002 and continued as the war took place. Social movement researchers have described the 15 February protest as "the largest protest event in human history."
Sources vary in their estimations of the number of participants involved. According to BBC News, between six and eleven million people took part in protests in up to sixty countries over the weekend of the 15th and 16th. Other estimates range from eight million to thirty million.
Some of the largest protests took place in Europe. The protest in Rome involved around three million people, and is listed in the 2004 Guinness Book of World Records as the largest anti-war rally in history. Madrid hosted the second largest rally with more than 1.5 million people protesting the invasion of Iraq; Mainland China was the only major region not to see any protests on that day, but small demonstrations, attended mainly by foreign students, were seen later.

Real-time Transport Protocol

The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) is a network protocol used to send audio and video over IP networks. RTP is used in communication and entertainment systems that use streaming media, such as telephony, video teleconference applications, television services and web-based push-to-talk features.
RTP normally runs over User Datagram Protocol (UDP). It is used with the RTP Control Protocol (RTCP). While RTP carries the audio and video,, RTCP monitors transmission statistics and quality of service (QoS). RTP is one of the basic technologies in the use of Voice over IP. It is often used with a signaling protocol such as the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) which creates connections across the network.
RTP was developed by the Audio-Video Transport Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It was first published in 1996 as . It was replaced by in 2003.
