<p>The <b><a href="/wiki/Mauritius_sheldgoose" title="Mauritius sheldgoose">Mauritius sheldgoose</a></b> (<i>Alopochen mauritiana</i>) is an <a href="/wiki/Extinction" title="Extinction">extinct</a> sheldgoose that was <a href="/wiki/Endemism" title="Endemism">endemic</a> to Mauritius. Accounts by visitors in the 17th century mentioned <a href="/wiki/Goose" title="Goose">geese</a>, with few details. In 1893, a <a href="/wiki/Carpometacarpus" title="Carpometacarpus">wing-bone</a> <i>(depicted)</i> and pelvis were attributed to a new species of <a href="/wiki/Comb_duck" title="Comb duck">comb duck</a>, but later determined to belong to a relative of the <a href="/wiki/Egyptian_goose" title="Egyptian goose">Egyptian goose</a> in <i><a href="/wiki/Alopochen" title="Alopochen">Alopochen</a></i>, a <a href="/wiki/Genus" title="Genus">genus</a> of sheldgeese. The bird may have descended from Egyptian geese that colonised the <a href="/wiki/Mascarene_Islands" title="Mascarene Islands">Mascarene Islands</a>. This small sheldgoose had wings that were half black and half white. Although smaller than the Egyptian goose, it had more robust legs. Accounts indicate they were very tame, were <a href="/wiki/Grazing_(behaviour)" title="Grazing (behaviour)">grazers</a>, lived in groups, and were usually found on the north side of the island except when seeking water to drink in the dry season. They were terrestrial, and avoided water. The species was eaten by travellers, and while abundant in 1681, it was declared extinct in 1698, probably due to overhunting and predation by <a href="/wiki/Introduced_species" title="Introduced species">introduced animals</a>, particularly cats.

Marmaduke</a> and <a href="/wiki/Lucius_M._Walker" title="Lucius M. Walker">Lucius M. Walker</a> failed to act in concert and accomplished little.

Those with early lung cancer often have no <a href="/wiki/Signs_and_symptoms" title="Signs and symptoms">symptoms</a>, but advanced disease can cause shortness of breath, coughing (including <a href="/wiki/Hemoptysis" title="Hemoptysis">with blood</a>), and chest pain.

Invented by <a href="/wiki/Willard_Libby" title="Willard Libby">Willard Libby</a> in the late 1940s, it soon became a standard tool for <a href="/wiki/Archaeology" title="Archaeology">archaeologists</a>.

He led the defence of England's possessions in <a href="/wiki/Normandy" title="Normandy">Normandy</a> during the <a href="/wiki/Hundred_Years%27_War" title="Hundred Years' War">Hundred Years' War</a>.

<p>The <b><a href="/wiki/Trade_dollar_(United_States_coin)" title="Trade dollar (United States coin)">trade dollar</a></b> was a <a href="/wiki/Dollar_coin_(United_States)" title="Dollar coin (United States)">United States dollar coin</a> minted to compete with other large silver coins that were already popular in <a href="/wiki/East_Asia" title="East Asia">East Asia</a>. The idea first came about in the 1860s, when the price of silver began to decline due to increased <a href="/wiki/Silver_mining_in_the_United_States" title="Silver mining in the United States">mining efforts</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Western_United_States" title="Western United States">western United States</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Coinage_Act_of_1873" title="Coinage Act of 1873">Coinage Act of 1873</a> made trade dollars <a href="/wiki/Legal_tender" title="Legal tender">legal tender</a> up to five dollars. The coins were first struck in 1873, and most of the production was sent to China. Eventually, bullion producers began converting large amounts of silver into trade dollars, causing the coins to make their way into American commercial channels. This frustrated payees, as the coins were traded for less than one dollar each. In response to their wide distribution in US commerce, the coins were officially demonetized in 1876, but continued to circulate. Production of <a href="/wiki/Circulation_issue" title="Circulation issue">business strikes</a> ended in 1878, though the mintage of <a href="/wiki/Proof_coinage" title="Proof coinage">proof coins</a> continued until 1883. The trade dollar was remonetized when the <a href="/wiki/Coinage_Act_of_1965" title="Coinage Act of 1965">Coinage Act of 1965</a> was signed into law.
