Hi I am very worried about my 2 month old baby girl's eye. It's her left eye and I only see it when I give her a bath in the kitchen. This is when she looks directly into the light above me and her one pupil looks like a cat eye when light is shined into it. I don't know if I am doing a good job of describing it. Why could this be? Is this what baby's eyes look like when they look directly into the light? I am really freaking out.
baby's eye looks like a cat eye in the light

My sister is an optometrist, and I asked her. She said there is a type of tumor (I really hope I don't scare you) called Retinoblastoma that can be detected in light. Here's a sight with more information- http://www.eyecancermd.org/retinoblastoma/diagnosis.html. She said that most cases are detected within the first four months of a child's life and are treatable. The best way to further detect it in her eye would be to take a picture with flash. If there is a "spot" in the eye, then you should definitely get it checked out. I'd probably get it checked out either way. Anyway, she emailed me a few pictures of what it looks like as well:
If you can take a picture of her with a flash and post it, I'll send to my sister.
Good luck. Praying that everything turns out fine, but hoping that this helps too!

I really appreciate your help, i took some pics but it didn't show up. its just in the light in my kitchen. so weird. i will take some more pics and see what happens. thank you again!
You're welcome. If I were you, I'd schedule an appointment with an eye doctor anyway. It's not something that regular doctors are always trained to find at well-baby checkups, and it can't always be picked up in a picture. Good luck!

i would say if it is only in your kitchen maybe it is the way she is positioned. maybe try laying her bathtub a diff way...

I do not know how to describe this either but sometimes I look at my hubby's eyes against the light and they look something similar to what you are describing -very bright blue color like if I was looking at something under a microscope. If that is similar to what you see then I say it's normal. The first time I saw it I was freak out as well but it looked so beautiful at the same time. Try looking at your DH's eyes in a position similar to your daughter's.

Publishing companies must adopt new business models, innovate faster, and monetize content opportunities in the knowledge economy, opines Deva Senapathy, Associate Vice President and Practice Head – Publishing and Information services, Infosys. In an interview with John Crosby, Vice President, Corporate Communications, Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA), Deva discussed new trends and business imperatives on the sidelines of the SIIA Information Industry Summit 2010 in New York.
Deva says that publishing companies need to transform themselves to address two major shifts.
Digital consumer Web: The content industry is moving from a push to a pull model where knowledge and ideas flow in a non-linear manner. Companies need to monetize content in this digital consumer Web to remain competitive.
Pervasive computing: The ubiquity of technology, its widespread adoption and enhanced computing power of devices such as smartphones are transforming the content industry. Companies need to revisit their content value chain to leverage new technologies, and evaluate their business processes and systems to make them agile for supporting new business models.
Deva Senapathy, Associate Vice President and Practice Head – Publishing and Information services, Infosys
Deva has over 12 years of experience with Infosys. He manages the Infosys Information Services and Publishing practice, as well as global relationships with strategic clients in publishing.

Newly resigned White House press secretary Tony Snow gets top billing in the latest list of "notable quotes" compiled each week by the Media Research Center.
CNN's Suzanne Malveaux: "How does the president regain the credibility that he needs to convince the American people that that's true [that the Iraq surge is working], Tony?"
Mr. Snow: "Well, you know what Suzanne, your credibility rating — journalists' credibility ratings — are lower than the president's."
Escaping fear
It so happens that "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was a favorite film of President Franklin D. Roosevelt — or so reveals the record keepers at the National Archives, where the 1937 animated feature will soon be screened as part of its Presidential Film Favorites series.
The G-rated movie, which captured an Academy Award, was Walt Disney's first full-length animated feature in color, and tells the story of a beautiful princess who finds friendship with seven dwarfs and love with a prince, but only after fleeing from her wicked stepmother.
As Roosevelt would have told the princess, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

Littlefinger by capprottiWatch
©2007-2016 capprotti
This is a Littlefinger illustration I did for Fantasy Flight Games. Painter IX
Ohh I see what you did there .... very good
This is brilliant!
I love this illustration! This is the real Littlefinger, but a bit too old I think...
A perfect Littlefinger!
Thanks so much! I'd love to paint him again. He was definitely my favorite character to paint!
The most magnificent bastard in all the Seven Kingdoms, I think xD
I´m glad I found you, these Song of Ice&Fire illustrations are really something. The way you draw them, the characters have so much, well, character.
Your Petyr draws are the bests that I've ever seen, you really catch his expressions
Hope to see more!
Your Petyr draws are the bests that I've ever seen, you really catch his expressions
Hope to see more!
Wonderful atmosphere.
Fantastic. Very expressive
Great ! I am speechless !
Very cool, I really like Littlefinger You captured his spirit here.
Thanx! I'm really glad fans think I captured the character because I enjoyed the character so much and tried to convey what I thought his personality would be.
Wow, this is awesome. He's a devious little... dude. You captured him really well.
Thanx man! Yea, I always loved painting Petyr. FFG must've noticed, they like to send me a lot of Littlefinger illustrations to do My model really does half the work for me though. He always gave the character such perfect personality!
Man you do not get anywhere near enough recognition on this site.
Gorgeus. it looks like a flemish painting of the ol' days.
Thank you very much. Yea, that was definitely my source of inspiration. This one was a lot of fun.
Oh I love Littlefinger, he's my favorite villain! Would love to see more, hope they hire you again.
Ha ha, Thanx! I have some more little finger cards I did. A couple were rushed though, and I think they suck. But maybe I'll post them some time.
Thanx so much! Littlefinger was my favorite character to work on. Ha ha, I think my art director noticed because that's pretty much all I got for the next 3 sets Maybe I'll post some of the other ones. I remember them not being so amazing though... we'll see.
Wonderful. Littlefinger is one of my favorite characters in the book. I hope you do more work centered around him. Perhaps the "Only Cat." scene.

Nike Selling Hall of Fame Air Jordans? Not So Fast
If there's one lesson to take from the last 30 years of sports merchandising, it's that nothing - nothing - is more powerful than the brand. Nike understands this, of course, and their ability to profit from the Michael Jordan "Jumpman" logo has been not just a model, but the golden standard for other shoe companies, teams, and leagues to aspire to.
So with MJ's shoo-in nomination forthcoming (it has to be unanimous, right? has to be), you know Nike's salivating over adding the "HOF" to their line of Air Jordans. As a matter of fact, they've already started the advertising campaign with that obviously fake-viral Leroy Smith ad campaign. That's going to be a revenue bonanza, right?
Well, yes, and that's so obvious to the rest of the sports memorabilia world that Nike was beaten to the punch years ago. Read more…

Pontocerebellar hypoplasia
Pontocerebellar hypoplasia
On this page:
Reviewed November 2014
What is pontocerebellar hypoplasia?
Pontocerebellar hypoplasia is a group of related conditions that affect the development of the brain. The term "pontocerebellar" refers to the pons and the cerebellum, which are the brain structures that are most severely affected in many forms of this disorder. The pons is located at the base of the brain in an area called the brainstem, where it transmits signals between the cerebellum and the rest of the brain. The cerebellum, which is located at the back of the brain, normally coordinates movement. The term "hypoplasia" refers to the underdevelopment of these brain regions.
Pontocerebellar hypoplasia also causes impaired growth of other parts of the brain, leading to an unusually small head size (microcephaly). This microcephaly is usually not apparent at birth but becomes noticeable as brain growth continues to be slow in infancy and early childhood.
Researchers have described at least ten types of pontocerebellar hypoplasia. All forms of this condition are characterized by impaired brain development, delayed development overall, problems with movement, and intellectual disability. The brain abnormalities are usually present at birth, and in some cases they can be detected before birth. Many children with pontocerebellar hypoplasia live only into infancy or childhood, although some affected individuals have lived into adulthood.
The two major forms of pontocerebellar hypoplasia are designated as type 1 (PCH1) and type 2 (PCH2). In addition to the brain abnormalities described above, PCH1 causes problems with muscle movement resulting from a loss of specialized nerve cells called motor neurons in the spinal cord, similar to another genetic disorder known as spinal muscular atrophy. Individuals with PCH1 also have very weak muscle tone (hypotonia), joint deformities called contractures, vision impairment, and breathing and feeding problems that are evident from early infancy.
Common features of PCH2 include a lack of voluntary motor skills (such as grasping objects, sitting, or walking), problems with swallowing (dysphagia), and an absence of communication, including speech. Affected children typically develop temporary jitteriness (generalized clonus) in early infancy, abnormal patterns of movement described as chorea or dystonia, and stiffness (spasticity). Many also have impaired vision and seizures.
The other forms of pontocerebellar hypoplasia, designated as type 3 (PCH3) through type 10 (PCH10), appear to be rare and have each been reported in only a small number of individuals. Because the different types have overlapping features, and some are caused by mutations in the same genes, researchers have proposed that the types be considered as a spectrum instead of distinct conditions.
How common is pontocerebellar hypoplasia?
The prevalence of pontocerebellar hypoplasia is unknown, although most forms of the disorder appear to be very rare.
What genes are related to pontocerebellar hypoplasia?
Pontocerebellar hypoplasia can result from mutations in several genes. About half of all cases of PCH1 are caused by mutations in the EXOSC3 gene. PCH1 can also result from mutations in several other genes, including TSEN54, RARS2, and VRK1. PCH2 is caused by mutations in the TSEN54, TSEN2, TSEN34, or SEPSECS gene. In addition to causing PCH1 and PCH2, mutations in the TSEN54 gene can cause PCH4 and PCH5. Mutations in the RARS2 gene, in addition to causing PCH1, can result in PCH6. The remaining types of pontocerebellar hypoplasia are caused by mutations in other genes. In some cases, the genetic cause of pontocerebellar hypoplasia is unknown.
The genes associated with pontocerebellar hypoplasia appear to play essential roles in the development and survival of nerve cells (neurons). Many of these genes are known or suspected to be involved in processing RNA molecules, which are chemical cousins of DNA. Fully processed, mature RNA molecules are essential for the normal functioning of all cells, including neurons. Studies suggest that abnormal RNA processing likely underlies the abnormal brain development characteristic of pontocerebellar hypoplasia, although the exact mechanism is unknown. Researchers hypothesize that developing neurons in certain areas of the brain may be particularly sensitive to problems with RNA processing.
Some of the genes associated with pontocerebellar hypoplasia have functions unrelated to RNA processing. In most cases, it is unclear how mutations in these genes impair brain development.
Read more about the EXOSC3, RARS2, SEPSECS, TSEN2, TSEN34, TSEN54, and VRK1 genes.
See a list of genes associated with pontocerebellar hypoplasia.
How do people inherit pontocerebellar hypoplasia?
This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means both copies of the gene in each cell have mutations. The parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive condition each carry one copy of the mutated gene, but they typically do not show signs and symptoms of the condition.
Where can I find information about diagnosis or management of pontocerebellar hypoplasia?
These resources address the diagnosis or management of pontocerebellar hypoplasia and may include treatment providers.
You might also find information on the diagnosis or management of pontocerebellar hypoplasia in Educational resources and Patient support.

got it !!!!1 1
First of all i must mention that i am not expecting a full blooded fisheye circular effect from this lens and camera combination because since my censor is a CMOS APS-C which means the image projected from the back of the lens onto the CMOS will be cropped, another word i will only get the middle part of the lens. And yes its true bit i still get some fish eye effect in the end which is nice.
At this point i took a sample shot and hoo noo it disappointed me a bit, mainly because the censor record the real colours from the lens :C no good so i went into the camera setting and set a new colour theme for this lens. Basically create a messy and all wrong colour setting in the camera. Second go and hmm it is much better. Wrong interpretation of all colours ( everything got that redish glow to it) height contrast, dreamy. I am please with the result, very lomo.
At this point i must say that this lens is a marmite lens, either hate it or love it. Me? i do like marmite on my toast.
Later on I took this lens apart and see whats going on inside. Don't worry the lens is now back in one piece have to say it was the first plastic lens I took apart and i was very exciting about it.
NICE TO BE BACK IN LOMO-WORLD Check my pic :D
Love everybody XXXX

Firstly I received a competitive price from Kamran for four new tyres when I made enquires. After deciding to use HiQ they ordered the tyres and as soon as they arrived the following day I was contacted to arrange a fitting time. When I went to get the tyres fitted the service was fast, friendly (I received a cup of coffee whilst waiting) and efficient. I wouldn't hesitate to use this branch again or recommend it and the staff to friends or family.

Respond to Review of Harmony Vegetarian
by TinaGlenn
Review: I could not believe how delicious the vegetarian Sesame Chicken & Triple Dumpline Delight dishes are & available with brown rice to boot! What a find! Incredible vegetarian Chinese Restaurant! Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Very clean. Food is served quickly! I cannot imagine anyone walking away unhappy from this outstanding vegetarian restaurant. What makes this place even better is the amazingly great prices. Entrees are large and can be shared, with white or brown rice on the side. Two people can easily eat dinner for under $15.00

1997 - 1998Edit
In the aftermath of the Goa'uld System Lord Apophis attacking the empty SGC's Embarkation room and kidnapping Senior Airman Carol Weterings while Apophis's guards also killed four male guards, the Stargate Program was brought online.
Also, in response, SGC teams were formed with the lead flagship team of Stargate Command being designated "SG-1". Upon the mission to Chulak, SG-1 was originally composed of Colonel Jack O'Neill who became the new and permanent leader of SG-1, Captain Samantha Carter, O'Neill's second-in-command and civilian Dr. Daniel Jackson who had recently returned from Abydos in the aftermath of his wife and his brother-in-law being kidnapped by Apophis.
Upon exploring the planet, the three were captured and imprisoned in a dungeon, uniting them with Skaara. Eventually, all were lined up and judged by Apophis's followers who sought potential people who could become hosts to Apophis's own "children", in reality, Apophis's fellow Goa'uld symbiotes.
Thanks to some encouragement from Jack, Teal'c of Chulak, Apophis's First Prime and one of his Jaffa warriors who had grown convinced that Apophis was not a God helped SG-1 their fellow prisoners escape their prison on Chulak and return safely to Earth, resulting in Teal'c essentially defecting from the service of the Goa'uld and arriving on Earth as well.
Teal'c eventually allied himself with the SGC against the Goa'uld and after a series of tests, officially joined SG-1 in the hope that they would help bring his people, the Jaffa to freedom. With Teal'c joining the team, SG-1 became the first ever team associated with the Stargate Program to have four members on it and also the main flagship team for the SGC. (SG1: "Children of the Gods", "The Enemy Within")
1999 - 2000Edit
In early 1999 Samantha Carter was promoted to the rank of Major. When Colonel Jack O'Neill went undercover, as part of an operation to reveal the identities of rogue NID agents and moles planted in Stargate Command, he left his commanding position open on SG-1. Major General George S. Hammond assigned Colonel Robert Makepeace as SG-1's new commander until it was discovered that Makepeace was the mole planted in the SGC to retrieve alien technology. He was placed under arrest for treason and Jack returned to his command of SG-1. (SG1: "Fair Game", "Shades of Grey")
2001 - 2003Edit
In the year 2001, SG-1 was temporarily disbanded when a new commander was placed in charge of Stargate Command. Colonel Jack O'Neill was forced into some time off to consider his career options, while Major Samantha Carter and Dr. Daniel Jackson were assigned base-only positions and Teal'c was assigned to SG-3. This arrangement did not last long, and soon everyone was in their proper positions once again. (SG1: "Chain Reaction")
In the same year, after being shot and killed on Vorash, Teal'c was brought back to life and later brainwashed into believing that he still served for Apophsis and as such, Teal'c defected from SG-1 to resume working for Apophis once again as the System Lord's First Prime. Despite SG-1's best efforts, Teal'c remained adamant that Apophis was a God. Realizing that Teal'c was in danger, Bra'tac of Chulak, Teal'c's mentor was summoned to the SGC. With Teal'c restrained, Bra'tac performed the Rite of M'al Sharran which ultimately loosened Apophis's grip on Teal'c's mind and finally brought Teal'c back to his senses. Once he had recovered, Teal'c requested permission to rejoin SG-1 which General Hammond granted. (SG1: "Enemies", "Threshold")
SG-1 remained primarily composed of the same four individuals up until May 2002, when Dr. Daniel Jackson was exposed to a lethal dose of radiation which resulted from a lab accident in the nation state of Kelowna. He was given the opportunity to ascend to a higher plane of existence by the Ascended Being Oma Desala to escape permanent death and to join the enlightened. He accepted the offer. (SG1: "Meridian")
Several replacements were attempted to fill the void that Dr. Daniel Jackson left behind. Captain Hagman was the ninth recruit who tried to fill Jackson's shoes. The remaining members of SG-1 were not very welcoming of any person assigned to replace their fallen comrade, so they quickly booted the poor linguist out.
Eventually, after a series of rejections, Jack chose the Kelownan native, Jonas Quinn to take the place left vacant by Daniel's Ascension. Jonas was witness to Jackson's courage on his homeworld and after realizing that his government was not honorable in trying to blame Daniel for the accident, calling it sabotage, he defected to Earth, bringing a sample of the radioactive material Naquadria with him in hopes that shield technology could be developed to protect his people from the Goa'uld. With Jonas's addition to the team, SG-1 now composed of four members was brought back to full strength once again. (SG1: "Redemption, Part 1", "Redemption, Part 2")
2003 - 2005Edit
For over a year, SG-1 with Jonas went on various missions all over the galaxy, unaware that Dr. Daniel Jackson was continuing to watch over his teammates while he was an Ascended Being, but when he tried to protect Abydos from Anubis he was returned to human form and was left without his memory.
When SG-1 went to Vis Uban thinking that it might be the location of The Lost City of the Ancients, they found Daniel living among the nomads. He had no memory of who he was and had taken the name Arrom. Jack and Sam convinced him to come home with them to discover his identity and past and, after deep consideration, he decided to go with them back to Earth. Soon, he was given a position back on SG-1, making him a fifth member of the team for a short while.
Daniel joined Jonas on a mission to destroy the advanced weapon Anubis possessed on his mighty ship. They were sent to hack into Anubis's computer system. They were successful in getting into the computer and the weapon was destroyed, but in their attempt to get off of the ship, Jonas was captured. Daniel worked at getting him free and together they were able to escape to Kelowna where Anubis' ship was stationed over the capital city of Jonas' nation. They were aided by other System Lords to destroy Anubis' mothership, but Anubis escaped. Jonas was asked to return to his homeworld as representative on their now-united world's council to educate them on the Goa'uld threat. Jonas's departure from Stargate Command meant that SG-1 returned to the original four-team members. (SG1: "Full Circle", "Fallen", "Homecoming")
With Bra'tac's assistance and in March 2004, all four members of SG-1 later engaged in an attempt to stop Anubis from conquering Earth. Their efforts succeeded but at a great cost to Colonel Jack O'Neill who had been left near death after having his head stuck inside a Repository of knowledge. As such, Jack was forced to been placed in statis until a solution to remove the Ancient knowledge from his could be found. (SG1: "Lost City, Part 1", "Lost City, Part 2")
Three months later, thanks to the efforts of the Asgard Supreme Commander, Thor, Jack was later freed from statis, returning to his normal self and was later promoted to the rank of Brigadier General .
In addition, Jack also became Stargate Command's newest Commanding Officer, resulting in Jack stepping down from leading SG-1.
Major Samantha Carter was later promoted to the rank of Lt. Colonel and given the commanding officer position of SG-1. It was deemed by O'Neill that SG-1 would remain a three-member team, but if he ever decided to go out in the field, he'd do so with SG-1. (SG1: "New Order, Part 2", "Lockdown")
As a result of Jack being promoted to General and also becoming the new leader of the SGC, SG-1 was reduced to a three man team composed of Carter, Daniel and Teal'c with Carter's leadership of SG-1 lasting only for one year, up until the defeat of the Goa'uld and the Replicators. Afterwards, the team disbanded as each member went to different assignments. Teal'c was the first to leave, joining the Free Jaffa Nation's High Council. Carter went to Area 51 to lead in the facility's Research and Development department while she helped Cassandra Fraiser through a rough time in her life. Dr. Daniel Jackson was the last of the original team still at Stargate Command, since Jack O'Neill was promoted to Major General and given the command of Homeworld Security in Washington D.C., but his time there was coming close to an end as he began packing his office for his move to Atlantis in the Pegasus Galaxy. (SG1: "Reckoning, Part 2", "Threads", "Avalon, Part 1")
2005 - 2007Edit
The new commander of Stargate Command, Major General Henry Landry, was still unpacking his office when Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell reported to his new position. Mitchell was given his choice of positions by Major General Jack O'Neill and he chose to join SG-1 in the hope that he could learn from the team and get the opportunity to fight alongside them.
Unfortunately, Mitchell's hopes were dashed and his dreams shattered when he learnt that Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson, and Teal'c had moved on and that Mitchell would need to pick new members for his team.
Landry purposefully placed Mitchell in assignments which would involve him with Daniel's projects, ones that had prevented Daniel from going to Atlantis, until finally, Mitchell reunited the team as they faced a new and powerful galactic threat in the form of Ascended Beings known as the Ori and their advanced human missionaries, called Priors who sought to ensure that the people of the Milky Way Galaxy embraced the teachings of Origin. (SG1: "Avalon, Part 1", "Avalon, Part 2", "Origin", "Ex Deus Machina")
The Ori managed to conquer several worlds through the use of the Priors, but their work throughout the galaxy was quickened by the arrival of four Ori warships through a Supergate. One of these Supergates had been destroyed when the thief and con artist Vala Mal Doran substituted a Tel'tak as one of the gate's sections. Vala attempted to escape through the Transportation rings, but her matter stream was diverted by the gravitational forces of the nearby black hole and as such, Vala was transported to the Ori's home galaxy. (SG1: "Beachhead", "Crusade")
On Earth, during a mission to expose Ba'al, Mitchell formally re-formed SG-1 with Carter, Jackson, and Teal'c. (SG1: "Ex Deus Machina")
Meanwhile, Vala was impregnated by the Ori with a child who was later born on one of the warships which had just arrived and decimated the Milky Way Galaxy's allied fleet. The child, called the Orici, was a daughter Vala named Adria. Despite Vala's attempts to convince Adria otherwise, her efforts failed while Daniel who had gated to the Ori warship chose to bring Vala to safety with the two being beamed onto the Odyssey. After returning to Earth, Vala began serving as a consultant with Stargate Command on a probationary basis due to the fact that her past dealings with the SGC and Daniel himself had been manipulative and detrimental. Vala later proved herself as trustworthy in the fight against the Ori. She soon claimed that her changes were due in large part because someone finally believed in her and she had actually found a home on Earth with the people of the SGC. After the incident involving her abduction at the hands of the Trust in which Vala temporarily lost her memories and which had SG-1 eventually saving her, she soon made a full recovery. As such, Vala was given a permanent and full-time position on SG-1, becoming its fifth member which also meant that for the second time in its ten year history, SG-1 was now officially composed of five members but this time on a permanent basis. (SG1: "Crusade", "Camelot", "Flesh and Blood", "Morpheus", "Memento Mori")
2008- present Edit
Following the defeat of the Ori, both Samantha Carter and Cameron Mitchell were promoted to the rank of full-bird Colonel, and Carter was given the command of Atlantis which she led for a year before being reassigned and replaced by Richard Woolsey.
A few months later, Carter and Major General Jack O'Neill joined SG-1 (Mitchell, Dr. Daniel Jackson, Teal'c, Vala Mal Doran) at the new Tok'ra homeworld after the last of the Ba'al clones was captured. They all wore the SG-1 patch to represent the ten years that their team fought the Goa'uld System Lords. The last Ba'al symbiote clone was extracted from the host, but the Tok'ra and Tau'ri were unaware that the original Ba'al had evaded capture.
The original Ba'al himself traveled back in time to 1939 to prevent the Stargate from ever reaching the United States, but he was killed by an alternate future version of Cameron Mitchell, who witnessed Ba'al's changes to the timeline and traveled back in time to prevent Ba'al's plan from ever taking place, thus saving the timeline and defining the true end of the rule of the System Lords. (SG1: "The Ark of Truth", "Continuum")
The current status of SG-1 is unknown although it's possible that since Carter is no longer part of the team, having now taken command of the battlecruiser, the George Hammond named in honor of the SGC's first ever commanding officer, SG-1's structure is presumably as follows: Cameron Mitchell, Daniel Jackson, Teal'c and Vala Mal Doran.
- Responsible for the deaths of a number of Goa'uld System Lords, such as Apophis, Ares, Cronus, Hathor, Nirrti, and Sokar. Also responsible for the downfalls of Anubis, Ba'al and Heru'ur.
- Destroying the Replicators and bringing the downfall of the Goa'uld Empire at the Battle of Dakara.
- Making Earth's first contact with the Asgard, the Tok'ra, the Tollan and the Nox.
- Saving Earth on a number of occasions from the Goa'uld, the Replicators and the Ori threat.
- Sending the Sangraal to the Alteran Home Galaxy and destroying the Ori.
- Diminishing Ascended Adria's power long enough for Morgan Le Fay to engage her in an eternal battle.
- Adria was quite possibly defeated by Morgan Le Fay after the Priors of Milky Way lost their belief of Origin, further diminishing Adria's powers.
Alternate realitiesEdit
- In the alternate reality to which Daniel Jackson was accidentally transported to 1998, SG-1's Iris Deactivation Code remained the same as in our reality. However, he soon discovered that neither he nor any of his teammates were members of SG-1 in this reality. The Daniel Jackson of this reality never joined the Stargate Program, Jack O'Neill was a brigadier general and the commanding officer of the SGA, Doctor Samantha Carter was a civilian scientist who seemingly worked from the SGA while Teal'c was still the First Prime of Apophis. (SG1: "There But for the Grace of God")
- In 2006, an alternate version of SG-1 came to our reality in an attempt to steal a Zero Point Module from Atlantis and return it to their reality to use in securing their Earth from an Ori attack. When the original SG-1 took steps to stop additional SG-1s from arriving, the alternate SG-1 gained control of the Prometheus and set course for Atlantis. Eventually, the original Mitchell outsmarted his counterpart and his team was captured. The original SG-1 was able to use the alternate SG-1's methods to send the various SG-1s back to their own realities. (SG1: "Ripple Effect")
- In another alternate reality, SG-1 consisted of Daniel Jackson. Cameron Mitchell, Doctor Janet Fraiser and Martouf/Lantash. They became stranded in our reality in 2006. In their reality, Earth was attacked by the Prior virus, though the team was given the anti-virus to combat it, since our reality had already combated the plague. In this reality, Brigadier General Jack O'Neill was still the commanding officer of Stargate Command. (SG1: "Ripple Effect")
- In another alternate reality, SG-1 wore Blue Digital Tiger Stripe uniforms. In 2006, the team were under heavy fire and ended up in our reality. Shortly afterwards, they were examined in the infirmary. Eventually, this SG-1 were sent back to their own reality. (SG1: "Ripple Effect")
- In another alternate reality, SG-1 consisted of Cameron Mitchell and three young men who appeared to be Jaffa. They wore Atanik armbands. (SG1: "Ripple Effect")
- In another alternate reality, SG-1 wore Hazmat suits. In 2006, the team ended up in our reality but were eventually sent home to their own. (SG1: "Ripple Effect")
- In another alternate reality, SG-1 wore green jungle fatigues. In 2006, the team ended up in our reality but were eventually sent home to their own. (SG1: "Ripple Effect")
- In another alternate reality, SG-1 wore Digital Woodland USMC MARPAT uniforms. Notably, the Teal'c of this reality was still bald. In 2006, the team ended up in our reality but were eventually sent home to their own. (SG1: "Ripple Effect")
- In the alternate reality to which Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter was accidentally transported in 2007, Major Evan Lorne was the commanding officer of SG-1. Until 2007, his teammates included Major Samantha Carter and Daniel Jackson. However, the Sam of his reality was killed in the accident which brought her counterpart to his reality while Daniel was captured by the Ori several weeks earlier. The same fate had befallen the Daniel of our reality at approximately the same time. Major Lorne informed the Sam of our reality that Teal'c had left the SGC several years earlier following the defeat of the Goa'uld and Vala Mal Doran was imprisoned in Area 51 while Cameron Mitchell, after criticising the US government for its use of martial law, received no more medical treatment for the injuries which he sustained in the Battle of Antarctica and was confined to a wheelchair, the Mitchell of that reality a bitter man who had also started smoking. (SG1: "The Road Not Taken")

LONDON — A British couple's round-the-world cycling odyssey ended in tragedy when both of them were killed in a road accident in Thailand.
Peter Root and Mary Thompson, who had been chronicling their journey in a blog, died Wednesday when they were hit by a pickup in a province east of Bangkok, Thai police said Monday.
The couple, both 34 and from Guernsey in the Channel Islands, left Britain in July 2011 and had cycled through Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and China.
The trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the couple, who met in art school and spent six years saving money and planning their journey, Peter's father Jerry Root said.
"They were both inspirational," Jerry Root said. "They didn't just talk about it; they did it. I couldn't be prouder of them."
He said they were both experienced cyclists who knew the rigors and risks of extended bicycle travel.
"They were camping wild, as they called it," he said. "What helps me is to think of how happy they were with each other. They were leading the life they wanted to. It was the happiest, the most fruitful of lives."
The couple had been posting photos and trip details on the website Two on Four Wheels. They also had many followers on Twitter and Facebook who were tracing their journey and vicariously enjoying their adventure, which included a trip through remote parts of Central Asia.
A video they posted from that part of the journey shows them camping in the desert, riding through hills, stopping to swim in rivers and lakes, and braving heavy snowstorms.
After Southeast Asia, the couple were planning to go to New Zealand for a brief respite.
Thai Police Lt. Col. Supachai Luangsukcharoen said Monday that investigators found their bodies, their bicycles and their belongings scattered along a roadside, along with a pickup that crashed between some trees.
Supachai said the driver, 25-year-old Worapong Sangkhawat, was seriously injured. He told police his truck hit the cyclists as he was reaching down to pick up a cap from the vehicle's floor, Supachai said.
The driver faces charges of causing death by dangerous driving, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail.

There are two possible explanations - either somehow your town got corrupted and causing these crashes - although unless you are transferring large amount of units between hometown and army, or fighting in a large quests, or siege battle - the game shouldn`t crash. But lets try the following based on our knowledge base:
1) Open your homeland and transfer all the Peasants/Laborers e.t.c worker units into an Army. Leave them there and try playing to see if it`s the workers. I think there is a possible crash related to worker unit corruption.
2) Create a new town - and see if the crash continue. If it is your internet and not something in your town this should also crash.

Opening hours:
Mon to Fri 9am - 9pm, Sat 9am - 7pm, Sun 9am - 1pm
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
Standing on the banks of the upper reaches of the River Thames on the Cliveden Estate, this delightful cottage has been recently redecorated throughout and is comfortable and charming. It has immediate access to Cliveden's outstanding woodland and riverside walks, and a small garden overlooking the river- a wonderfully peaceful setting and yet under an hour from London. The cottage is a short walk from our other holiday cottage, Ferry Cottage, ref 002002.
Heating:Night storage heating included.
Parking: Parking for two cars is 45 metres from the cottage.
Please Note: As part of the boating offer at Cliveden self drive hire motor and rowing boats operate from the landing stage of the Cliveden ferry 30 yards from Ferry Cottage. Days and operating times vary and are subject to weather conditions. There is no mooring available at the cottage for residents.
The river path is a public footpath.
Availability: Short breaks bookable within 4 weeks of the start date all year at this cottage
This cottage is not recommended for young children as the garden and river bank are unfenced.
You could think it may be densely populated and just home to the bustling metropolis of London, but don't underestimate the South East's capacity for hidden charms, secluded landscapes and shady nooks to catch your breath. There's lots to explore from the hazy meadows and pastoral valleys of the South Downs, the dazzling White Cliffs of Dover and the glorious gardens at Sissinghurst and Polesden Lacey.
The New Cottage experience was excellent, the weather, the walks in Cliveden (including to the cafe for morning coffee and the opportunity to use WiFi). The cottage kitchen facilities were excellent, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom acceptable.
Location by the river Thames with swans and ducks. Lovely and clean as usual for NT cottages, excellent location.
The location was unique. The cottage was very well presented.
wonderfully clean and welcoming thank you cosy in winter
We welcome your views on New Cottage and these can be provided via our online survey.

Thousands protest Boko Haram, support army in Cameroon
Thousands of people marched in Cameroon's capital to protest against Boko Haram's insurgency and support the Cameroon army's fight on the ground.
Thousands of people marched in Cameroon's capital to protest against Boko Haram's insurgency and support the Cameroon army's fight on the ground.
Four African armies, Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger are currently on the ground directly engaged in the fight against Boko Haram.
The United States has committed to helping Cameroon's military secure the equipment it needs to continue fighting against the jihadist group.
Cameroon says its army has detained 1 000 people suspected of having links to Boko Haram, after it killed 86 of the group's militants.
The onslaught came after Chad sent troops across the border to flush the jihadists out of the Nigerian town of Gamboru.
Boko Haram takes responsibility for the attack on Baga, and warns Nigeria and its neighbours that they will not stop, saying Baga was "not much".
Boko Haram has stepped up cross-border attacks into Cameroon in recent weeks, including a number of high-profile kidnappings.
It took a comfortable 4-1 win over Tunisia for Cameroon to book their place in the World Cup for an African record seventh time.
Advocacy groups in Cameroon are battling a 500- year-old tradition that deprives widows of their rights.
Cristiano Ronaldo's header against Manchester United reminded Percy Zvomuya of Cameroon's Bassa people who are famous for their heading ability.
Kidnappers who seized seven members of a French family, including four young children, in Cameroon have taken them across the border into Nigeria.
Cameroon aims to begin production at its first industrial diamond mine by the end of January as part of plans to develop the long-neglected sector.
Multinational corporations believe Africa is booming and are turning to a new brand of sales rep to reach the continent's remote regions.
Aid agencies say they are facing a multimillion-dollar funding shortage to deal with a food crisis in the Sahel in northern Africa.
Cameroon's former prime minister Inoni Ephraim has been arrested as part of an investigation into the embezzlement of public funds.
Drought has again returned to the western shoulder of Africa, bringing hunger to millions, threatening to slip the Sahel region into crisis.
It may be Didier Drogba's last chance to win the African Cup of Nations as Côte d'Ivoire again begins its quest for a long-awaited continental title.
Botswana's 2012 Africa Cup of Nations players went on strike before being held 0-0 at home by an understrength Zimbabwe team in a warm-up game.
Electricity lines that carry no current are strewn across eastern Cameroon, but residents hope a diamond mine will help turn on the lights.

Pleasanton History
California fair is regarded as the heart of horseracing in western part of the United States. Since the early days of exploration and settlement, people have come together at certain times of the year to enjoy the festival of a season, the anniversary of a place, or the celebration of a special event. When people came together for these occasions, they came by horseback. They came to eat, drink, visit, look around, play, and have a little fun... and to see who had the fastest horse. This is the historical legacy of the fairs of California Horse racing and fairs share a particularly special partnership.

Nearly everyone seems to deal with some aspect of homeownership realty considerations, renting or related financial considerations.
Since a major portion of ones income or wealth goes into real estate, it's valuable to know some of the principles. Learning unique vocabulary and subject areas is important for making the best decision. Vast resources of information are available on the Internet, news features, etc., but without a basic understanding, how do you interpret these resources or know what applies?
Real Estate Practice, a class offered at the El Dorado Center of Folsom Lake College this semester, is designed to teach these practical basics. Diversified subject areas cover buying, selling, investing, financing, regulations, property disclosures and legal aspects. Realtor/instructor Bud Zeller will blend his 48 years of experience with the new directions of the industry, including correlation of the business applications of social media websites for usage and resources.

With the firestorm of debate over President Bush's immigration plan we've heard very little public airing of a factor that concerns many opponents of relaxed immigration policies: the changes to our culture they are certain to bring about.
Most are afraid to express publicly their anxiety over such changes. Why? Because opposition to these policies for many other legitimate reasons is enough to invite unfounded accusations of nativism. But if you outright admit your affinity for the unique American culture and your fear that unduly relaxed immigration policies (coupled with inattention to assimilation) might dilute it, you are sure to brand yourself as a full-blown racist.
America is the one place where it is taboo to be proud of your culture, which is ironic given America's record as the freest, most prosperous and most benevolent society in world history.
But we are not supposed to be patriotic, if patriotism means honoring and preferring our culture and way of life above others in the world. The theology of multiculturalism requires that you renounce allegiance to any particular culture as superior to any other. All cultures are supposed to be equally respected. The Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem are out. The United Nations, the World Court and oppressive global climate initiatives are in.
But beneath the slick packaging of "multiculturalism" and "diversity" we find that what they really stand for is the denunciation of Western civilization and America. All civilizations are equally wonderful in the world cultural mosaic -- except those arising out of Western civilization, especially America.
If the multiculturalists had their druthers, what remains of a unique American culture would probably be eradicated, since it is viewed as bigoted and evil.
Didn't we used to boast about our motto "e pluribus unum" -- out of many, one? Didn't we strive for a cultural melting pot? Didn't we have a civil rights struggle over such issues as eliminating segregation? Didn't the United States Supreme Court, in one of the most celebrated cases in our history, pronounce that "separate is inherently unequal"?
Yet today, under the relentless assault of "multiculturalism" we are reverting to our sad past by abandoning our commitment to integration and gravitating (in some areas) back to segregation.

When burned, coal produces three times its own weight in carbon dioxide (CO2) — making it far dirtier than any other energy source, per unit of usable energy. Carbon dioxide is the main human contributor to global warming, so as more people worry about the future of human civilization in a hothouse world, new coal plants are being canceled across the country.
To protect its enormous investment in land, equipment, politicians and environmental groups, the coal industry has bet its future on an untried technology called "carbon capture and storage," or CCS for short. The idea is to capture the carbon dioxide emitted by burning coal, compress it into a liquid, and bury it a mile below ground, hoping it will stay there forever. The coal industry's fanciful name for this is "clean coal" and even though clean coal does not actually exist anywhere on Earth, the industry has sold the idea so effectively that more than 60% of Americans say they favor it.
To gain permission to build new coal plants, the coal and electric power industries are now promising the moon: "This new coal plant will be 'capture-ready.' Just let us build this plant now and we'll add a CCS unit onto the back end as soon as CCS technology has matured and is affordable." In other words, the industry is saying, "Let us build 'capture-ready' coal plants now and someday eventually maybe we'll be able to capture the CO2 and bury it in the ground, where we hope it will remain forever."
This is precisely the situation at Duke Energy's 'capture-ready' plant being built now at Edwardsport, Indiana.
The 630-megawatt Edwardsport plant will emit an estimated 4300 tons of CO2 per year (unless and until CCS is tacked onto the plant). Therefore, during its 40-year lifetime, the plant will produce 4300 x 40 = 172,000 tons, or 344 million pounds, of CO2.
Duke Energy executives insist that the deep earth beneath Edwardsport is ideal for storing hazardous liquid CO2. At least one major environmental group — the Clean Air Task Force, headquartered in Boston — agrees with them. A recent news report in the Bloomington, Indiana, Herald Times says, "Clean Air Task Force representative John W. Thompson describes the Duke carbon sequestration initiative as a pioneering effort that could provide a template for other companies and countries to ameliorate global warming by safely storing carbon dioxide…." When Duke Energy officials met with the editorial board of the Herald Times recently, the Clean Air task Force tagged along to provide Duke Energy a patina of green.
Edwardsport lies in Knox County in southwestern Indiana, about 70 miles below Evansville. Southwestern Indiana lies atop a geologic feature known as the "Wabash Seismic Zone." Because it was only discovered in recent decades, the Wabash Seismic zone is not nearly so well known as the nearby "New Madrid Seismic Zone" which is famous because in 1811-1812 it spawned earth-shattering quakes that registered as high a 8 on the Richter scale, which were felt in New Hampshire a thousand miles away and rang church bells in Washington, D.C., according to the Indiana Geological Survey.
Here's what the Central United States Earthquake Consortium has to say about the Wabash Seismic Zone:
"Recent studies have indicated that the New Madrid Seismic Zone is not the only 'hot spot' for earthquakes in the Central United States. On June 18, 2002, a 5.0 magnitude earthquake struck Evansville, Indiana with an epicenter between Mt. Vernon and West Franklin in Posey County, in an area that is part of the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone….
"The Wabash Valley Seismic Zone is located in Southeastern Illinois and Southwestern Indiana and it is capable of producing 'New Madrid' size earthquake events…."
Just two months ago, on April 18, a magnitude 5.2 earthquake struck in the Wabash zone, with its epicenter 34 miles from Edwardsport. Since then nearly 3 dozen earthquakes have occurred in the Wabash zone, 29 of them strong enough for local people to feel. In other words, the Wabash zone is very active: "A magnitude 1.0 earthquake is probably happening once a week somewhere in the Wabash seismic zone," says Michael Hamburger, an Indiana University professor of geological sciences.
Lubricating the Geology
In the 1960s, the Rocky Mountain Arsenal outside Denver, Colorado began pumping liquid wastes into the ground and inadvertently set off a series of earthquakes by lubricating the underground geology. Scientists studying the feasibility of pumping liquid CO2 into the ground near the Wabash seismic zone in Edwardsport, Indiana will need to show why CO2 could not promote more and bigger earthquakes in southern Indiana and Illinois — and why powerful earthquakes in the Wabash or New Madrid zones will never release Duke's CO2 into the atmosphere. "Never" is a long time.
So far, government scientists have not set any criteria for deciding what makes a "good" site for burying CO2 in the ground. Without such criteria, claiming that any power plant is "capture ready" is a scam. To be "capture ready," a plant has to be capable of capturing its CO2 but also the ground beneath the plant has to be suitable for storing it in perpetuity.
So… is Edwardsport, Indiana the place where the nation's best independent geologists would recommend burial of 344 million pounds of pressurized liquid CO2? Or are Duke Energy and the Clean Air Task Force just using the fake promise of "carbon storage someday" to overcome public opposition to a coal plant so they can make a buck? Not so, insists John Thompson of the Clean Air Task Force. "We're into this plant not because we love coal…. We're just interested in clean air and clean water," he says.
But wait. Recently the Doris Duke Foundation announced a grant of $845,000 to the Clean Air Task Force to promote carbon capture and storage. Hmmm… Duke Power (now Duke Energy) was started in 1905 by Doris Duke's father, James B. "Buck" Duke.
Furthermore, in the past couple of years, the Joyce Foundation has awarded three grants to the Clean Air Task Force to promote "clean coal" — $55,000, $60,000 and $787,500. So between them Duke and Joyce have given the Clean Air Task Force $1.7 million to promote carbon capture and storage, even, apparently, in active earthquake zones. Maybe for that kind of money, skating to the dark side on such thin ice begins to resemble a scam of such proportions that it can only be labeled "an American success story" — right up there with junk bond king Michael Milken, Iran-Contra mastermind Oliver North, and Enron's Kenneth "Kenny Boy" Lay.

ABSTRACT: Chronic neck pain is often associated with spondylarthrosis, whereby segments C4/C5 (C: cervical) are most frequently affected. Spondylarthrosis can be the sole complaint, but it is associated with a degenerative cascade of the spine. The umbrella term for neck pain is the so-called cervical syndrome, which can be differentiated into segmental dysfunction and/or morphological changes of the intervertebral discs and small joints of the vertebral column. Conservative therapy modalities include physical therapy, subcutaneous application of local anesthetics, muscle, nerve and facet joint injections in addition to adequate analgesic and muscle relaxant therapy. If surgery is required, various techniques via dorsal and ventral approaches, depending on the clinic and morphologic changes, can be applied.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Evaluation of early cup movement is an important diagnostic tool to predict the likelihood of long-term implant loosening and clinical failure. The investigated cementless cup is clinically proven over 10 years, but there is a paucity of information that accurately describes the migration characteristics of this component. Materials and methods: We retrospectively analysed the clinical outcome and migration behaviour of 60 Pinnacle 100 shells after an average 3.8-year follow-up (range 2.1-5.4 years). For migration measurement, EBRA (Einzel-Bild-Röntgen-Analyse) digital software was applied. Clinical assessment was performed using the HHS, the UCLA score and the SF-36 health survey. Results: The clinical outcome showed excellent results with a mean HHS of 95.4 (SD 7.1) and mean UCLA of 6.9 (SD 1.3). All implants were radiologically stable within the observation period and none of the cups was at risk for aseptical loosening. EBRA analysis revealed a mean total migration of 1.4 mm (SD 0.9) (95 % CI 1.1-1.6) at 3 years. Eight cups migrated more than 1 mm within the first three postoperative months, thereafter the migration curves flattened down. Conclusion: Surgeons may expect to find a variable amount of early migration when using the Pinnacle cup. To our knowledge, these are the first results, which show an early "impaction" of a cementless cup, followed by subsequent osseointegration. We believe that an appropriate long-term outcome of the investigated cup is ensured. The data of the present investigation will provide clinicians with useful baseline information with which to compare new cup designs.

ABSTRACT: This trial was designed to evaluate the impact of physical characteristics such as body mass index, body weight and height on distal stem migration of a cementless femoral component, as the influence of obesity on the outcome of THA is still debated in literature and conflicting results have been found. In this retrospective cohort study, migration patterns for 102 implants were analysed using the Einzel-Bild-Roentgen-Analyse (EBRA-FCA, femoral component analysis). In all cases the Vision 2000 stem was implanted and combined with the Duraloc acetabular component (DePuy, Warsaw, Indiana). The mean follow-up was 93 months. EBRA-FCA evaluations revealed a mean subsidence of 1.38 mm after two years, 2.06 mm after five and 2.24 mm after seven years. Five stems loosened aseptically. Correlation between increased migration over the whole period and aseptic loosening was highly significant (p < 0.001). Surgical technique had a significant influence on migration and stem stability (p = 0.002) but physical patient characteristics such as body weight over 75 kg and height over 165 cm also significantly influenced stem subsidence towards progressive migration (p = 0.001, p < 0.001). However, a high BMI did not trigger progressive stem migration (p = 0.87). Being of the male gender raised the odds for increased migration (p = 0.03). Physical characteristics such as body weight and height showed significant influence on migration patterns of this cementless femoral component. The operating surgeon should be aware that body weight above 75 kg and height over 165 cm may trigger increased stem migration and the surgeon should aim to fit these prostheses as tightly as possible. However this study demonstrates that a high BMI does not trigger progressive stem migration. Further investigations are needed to confirm our findings.
Article: The Effect of a Single Infusion of Zoledronic Acid on Early Implant Migration in Total Hip Arthroplasty A Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Trial[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Aseptic loosening is the most frequent cause of implant failure in total hip arthroplasty. While a direct link between aseptic loosening and periprosthetic bone loss remains elusive, there is plentiful evidence for a close association with early implant migration. The present trial was primarily designed to evaluate whether a single infusion of 4 mg of zoledronic acid prevented early implant migration in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Fifty patients were consecutively enrolled to receive either zoledronic acid or saline solution after cementless total hip arthroplasty. Radiographs, biochemical parameters of bone turnover, and the Harris hip-rating score were determined preoperatively and at each follow-up examination at seven weeks, six months, one year, and yearly thereafter. The median follow-up period was 2.8 years. We found a significant subsidence of the stem of up to a mean (and standard deviation) of -1.2 +/- 0.6 mm at two years within the control group, and the cups had a mean medialization of 0.6 +/- 1.0 mm and a mean cranialization of 0.6 +/- 0.8 mm (p < 0.001). Treatment with zoledronic acid effectively minimized the migration of the cups in both the transverse and the vertical direction (mean, 0.15 +/- 0.6 mm and 0.06 +/- 0.6 mm, respectively; p < 0.05), while only a trend to decreased subsidence of the stem was detected. Finally, the Harris hip score rapidly increased over time in both treatment groups, although this increase was significantly more pronounced in the zoledronate-treated group than in the control group (analysis of variance, p = 0.008). A single infusion of zoledronic acid shows promise in improving initial fixation of a cementless implant, which may improve the clinical outcome of total hip arthroplasty in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

ABSTRACT: The Duraloc cup is a frequently used metal-backed, porous-coated, hemispherical, press-fit acetabular component. Published data on loosening rates are contradictory. In this study we investigated migration patterns with computer-assisted Einzel-Bild-Roentgen-Analyse (EBRA) of 67 Duraloc 100 cups. Cup migration and clinical scores were analysed over a 5-year follow-up period. Median total migration of the Duraloc 100 cup was 1.21 mm at 5 years. Seventy-five percent of implants were radiologically stable at 2 years and 90% at 4 years. One cup loosened aseptically at 60 months, requiring revision. Cup diameters > or = 54 mm migrated significantly more than cups < 54 mm in diameter (p = 0.029 at 4 years). There was a significant correlation between high polyethylene wear and further migrating cups within the first post-operative year (p = 0.035 at 12 months). Our analysis revealed significantly higher wear in males (p = 0.029 at 4 years). Radiological loosening at two years could be calculated using receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis, and 1.2 mm as an adequate threshold value (sensitivity = 100%, specificity = 89%).

New Light on the Early Islamic West African Gold Trade: Coin Moulds from Tadmekka, Mali
Nixon, Sam, Rehren, Thilo, Guerra, Maria Filomena, Antiquity
As South American gold enchanted the early modern world, West African gold enchanted the medieval world before it. Following the Islamic conquest of North Africa in the seventh century AD, Islamic traders crossing the Sahara to West Africa found abundant, high-quality gold there (Levtzion & Hopkins 2000). Over the next 300-400 years West Africa was incorporated into the Islamic trade network, leading it to become the world's major gold supplier until Columbus' era (Messier 1974; Devisse 1988; Spufford 1988; Gondonneau & Guerra 1999; Levtzion & Hopkins 2000; Mitchell 2005; Figure 1). The Islamicised West African trading towns, where traders obtained gold, took on huge significance in people's minds (Figure 2), and fantastic and mythical tales of their splendour and riches were told (e.g. Levtzion 1968; Benjaminsen & Berge 2004). Medieval texts have provided great insight into the reality of these towns and their trade (Levtzion & Hopkins 2000), but they also leave uncertainties. A particularly intriguing issue that has so far been impossible to resolve is whether references within these texts to local, pure gold coinages at the West African towns described myth or reality.
In AD 1526 Leo Africanus--a Muslim prisoner in Europe who became a protege of the Pope--recorded his knowledge of West Africa (Brown 1896). Within his description of Timbuktu, the trans-Saharan trading town which flourished from the fourteenth century, he stated that "the coin of Timbuctoo is of gold without any stamp or superscription" (Brown 1896: 825). He also described "pure gold coins without inscription" at another major town, Djenne (Brown 1896: 822). Some 500 years earlier (AD 1068) the respected Arabic geographer al-Bakri wrote a world geography using contemporary and historical sources. He noted of the West African trans-Saharan trading town of Tadmekka that "their dinars [Islamic gold coins] are called 'bald' because they are of pure gold without any stamp" (Levtzion & Hopkins 2000: 85). Other chroniclers also reported exchanges of "dinars" at Tadmekka and other important West African towns, including the early trading centre of Audaghust (Levtzion & Hopkins 2000: 45-9, 81, 90).
None of these unstamped gold 'coins' has been recovered, nor indeed is there concrete evidence of any coinage produced in West Africa before twentieth-century colonial issues. This stands in stark contrast to significant archaeological recovery of coinages produced elsewhere throughout the early Islamic world (e.g. Ehrenkreutz 1992; Gondonneau & Guerra 1999; Figure 3), including from areas where mints are not historically documented, such as the East African coast (Horton et al. 1986). Despite the lack of finds, early scholars believed the West African gold coins to be a reality (Mauny 1958; Messier 1974), suggesting that failure to find them in West Africa was because they were likely transported across the Sahara to be stamped on arrival. Subsequent prominent studies, however, made no reference to them (Garrard 1982; Devisse 1988; Devisse 1993), and they are also absent from wider texts drawing on these specialist studies (Spufford 1988; Blanchard 2001; Mitchell 2005). The consensus has clearly been voiced (Devisse 1988: 387) that while complex gold-working traditions existed in West Africa--producing jewellery and other display items (Joire 1943; McIntosh 1995: 267; Insoll 2003: 245)--commercial exchange of gold in the West African towns was restricted to gold dust and rudimentary processed forms; alongside other commonly encountered West African money such as cowrie shells, copper ingots, and cloth (see Eagleton et al. 2009). Meagre archaeological finds of gold trade in West Africa--wire and simple ingots (Devisse 1988: 404)--have not altered this view. Seemingly, then, the references to local gold money in an internationally recognised coin form in medieval West Africa had come to be seen as merely colourful elaborations of early Muslim authors. …
