93-XRT, also referred to as WXRT and XRT, is a radio station based in Chicago. It first hit the airwaves in March 1960 and continues to play blues, reggae, pop, and rock and roll for today’s Illinoisians. Popular programs broadcasted by the station include Saturday Morning Flashback hosted by on-air personalities Frank Lee and Johnny Mars and Breakfast with the Beatles hosted by rock-and-roll expert Terri Hemmert. 93-XRT programming also features All Vinyl Saturday, which involves DJs Marty Lennartz and Ryan Arnold playing albums from their personal record collections. The station is also well known for playing extravagant jokes on April Fools’ Day. For example, 93-XRT promised to host an April Fool Fest that would play live music from several dead artists in 1982. Believing that the festivities were real, hundreds of people flocked to abandoned and padlocked Navy Pier. In 1998, the station joked that they had become a subsidiary of Playboy Enterprises and that their call sign would be changed to XXXRT.

The Bud Billiken Parade is an annual parade held in Chicago, Illinois. The parade started in 1929 by Robert Sengstacke Abbott, a lawyer who started The Chicago Defender, an African-American newspaper which was considered the most prominent at the time. The name Bud Billiken comes from a fictional character Abbott made up for columns in The Chicago Defender. The parade grew every year and is now the largest African-American parade in the United States of America. 

In 1999, the parade garnered the attention of several large corporate sponsors such as Coca-Cola, Burger King, Southwest Airlines, and many more. One of the sponsors was American Brewery Budweiser. Budweiser has used the slogan, “This Bud’s for you!” in advertising since 1979. The company has used the slogan as a toast to certain groups such as military personnel and sports teams among others.

IMRAB is a rabies vaccination that helps pets and livestock with immunity to the rabies virus. Rabies is a virus that targets the central nervous system and different species of animals are particularly vulnerable to this virus. Rabies is a dangerous virus because any mammal can contract any strain; for example, a skunk can contract raccoon rabies. There are currently no approved rabies vaccines for wildlife (feral, non-domestic) although in some cases, animals are vaccinated in what is considered an off-label use.

Although the IMRAB vaccine has been used for scientific data, such as a trap-vaccinate-release program, it is impractical on large scale animal populations. The preferred method of addressing rabies in wildlife is to place an oral vaccine in bait that is left out for animals, although that strategy, too, has its limitations.

For pets, the IMRAB vaccine has been in use for over 30 years. It is approved for use in dogs, cats, ferrets, horses, cattle, and sheep. According to the manufacturer, it is descended from the world’s first rabies vaccine from Institute Pasteur-Mérieux.

In 1999, there was a proposed amendment to the Virus-Serum-Toxin Act that would broaden the definition of dog to include members of the species Canis familiaris or Canis lupus or any wolf-dog hybrid. In 2001, in response to public pressure, the proposal was withdrawn. The main concerns were that there were not adequate studies about the safety of the vaccine for wolves and wolf-dog crosses, and that the change would endorse the false idea that wolves and wolf-dog crosses are safe as pets.

Anheuser-Busch decided to make a light lager beer using pasteurization originating from the Czech Republic, which improved shelf life and transportability. The Budweiser pale lager was the first to use this method in the U.S. and grew to become one of the highest selling beers in the United States. It is available in over 80 markets worldwide. Budweiser is most commonly recognized by promotional Clydesdale horses, which made their first appearance in 1993 and were employed to represent the living embodiment of America’s great industrial spirit.
