Meaning of ecr stamp on arrival card of India?

ECR stands for Emigration Check Required as opposed to ECNR which stands for Emigration Check NOT Required. All Indian passports fall into either of these categories. The Emigration Check (EC) system provides assistance for people stranded in foreign countries who need help. As such, people who are likely to face such conditions have to pay a certain amount to the government which acts as a sort of insurance. People who can take care of themselves need not pay this amount (they fall into ECNR category) . In which category one falls, is determined (among many other criteria) is whether one has enough educational qualifications (SSC or Grade 10 equivalent). If the passport was issued before January 2007, no notation on the passport meant that EC was Required while an endorsement was included to mention that ECNR. Whereas, if the passport was issued after January 2007, no notation on the passport meant the ECNR whereas if EC was required, there would be such a notation on the passport. EC is not required for all the countries and for all the type of visits. It is required only if one is emigrationg for the purpose of employment mainly to the middle eastern countries and some far eastern countries.

When and where was the world wide web created?

The underpinnings of the web have their roots in older technology developed in a variety of places, but the web proper began at CERN (the European Council for Nuclear Research... yeah, that should be ECNR, but it's in French and they do their adjectives backward) in Switzerland, in 1989, by a man named Tim Berners-Lee.


What did Vice President Al Gore have anything to do with the invention of the world wide web?

Not exactly. He did sponsor a 1988 bill called the National High Performance Computer Act, which helped link universities and libraries with a shared network, and cosponsored a bill in 1992 called the Information Infrastructure and Technology Act, which opened the internet to commercial traffic. The concept of the World Wide Web was invented in Switzerland by a researcher named Tim Berners-Lee, working at CERN (the European Council for Nuclear Research... the official name is French and they do their adjectives backward, which is why the acronym isn't ECNR). It did rely on the existing "internet" for transmission, but saying that Al Gore invented the world wide web is at least as inaccurate as saying that Alexander Graham Bell did so. In fairness, though Gore is widely reported as having claimed that he invented the internet, this is not precisely what he said. He did say he took an initiative in creating the internet, which is, though perhaps a bit misleading, more or less true because of the NHPCA and IITA mentioned above... without those acts, it's likely the internet as we know it today would not exist, or would at least have taken significantly longer to develop.
