Logan was born in 1725, to a Cayuga Indian maiden. His Father was a French Canadian trapper who later became Chief of the Oneidas. He assumed the name
of the Secretary of the Colony of Pennsylvania, a good friend of his Father who represented the Indians to the Governor of Penn. Later Logan married a Shawnee maiden. He is described as a Mingo which was not a tribe but a loose confederation of the fragments of several tribes from the North East.
Initially Logan and his Father were good friends of the white people in their area and provided them with important advice and assistance. At the end of the French & Indian War, the Shawnees refused to accept the treaty by which the Iroquois surrendered the Ohio Territory, on which they lived, to the British. The Shawnee began to raid the settlements all along the frontier and the settlers retaliated. On April 20, 1774, several Indians, including Logan's family, crossed Yellow Creek near Pittsburg to visit a trading post run by Simon Greathouse. While there he got them drunk on rum and murdered them all. Logan mistakenly held Capt. Cressap responsible and began a murderous, vengeful assault on the Clinch and Holston Settlements.
After ravaging the territory, he withdrew by way of a tributary of the Big Sandy River (in Dickenson County). He was pursued by settlers led by a man named McClure. Logan ambushed and defeated his pursuers on what is now McClure's Creek, and withdrew through The Breaks.
In July of 1774, Logan captured William Robinson on the Monongahela River. When his braves wanted to burn him at the stake, he made a passionate speech on his behalf and defiantly cut him free. Three days later, he came to Robinson and asked him to record a
message to Capt. Cressap explaining his actions and inquiring why he had killed his family. " What did you kill my people on Yellow Creek for? The white people killed my kin at Conestoga a great while ago, and I thought nothing of that. But you killed my kin again on Yellow Creek and took my cousin prisoner. Then I thought I must kill too, and I have been 3 times to war since; but the Indians are not angry, only myself." (July 21, 1774 Capt. John Logan) He left the message attached to a war club at the murder scene of John Roberts at King's Mill.
After the Shawnees were defeated at Pt. Pleasant, Logan indicated his vengence was spent, but that he would never sign another treaty with the white man. Afterwards, he approached Patrick Porter about taking a young Indian boy (Dale) as his son. Although
Initially fearful, Porter eventually gave in to the persistent Logan. Dale, who he renamed
Arter Dale, was raised as his child, learned to read, and became a frontier Preacher for many years in the Scott and Wise County area.
Logan was described by one of the settlers as, "the finest human specimen, red or white, that I have ever met." He made a great friend - and a terrible enemy.

How can you quickly know
that the foundational teachings
of Freemasonry are false?
Simply consider the facts.
Freemasonry requires its members to believe in the existence of a Supreme Being and also to believe that there is only One God. Freemasonry refers to its god as the Great Architect of the Universe. It teaches that all men, of all the various religions, worship the one God, simply using a variety of different names. It is on that basis that Masons may be Hindus, Moslems, Buddhists, or men who profess to follow Jesus. Freemasonry requires a belief in the existence of A Supreme Being, but does not define that being.
The Holy Bible however, reveals that the truth is somewhat different. The Bible does state that there is only one God:
I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. (Isaiah 45:5)
However, it states that those who practice pagan religions worship idols and demons, rather than the God of the Bible. Psalms 96:5 reveals that the gods of the many nations which surrounded Israel were idols. Those peoples did not worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
Paul warned the Christians at Corinth not to participate in pagan worship. He revealed that pagans worship demons rather than God.
Do I mean then that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. (1 Corinthians 10:19-20)
The Bible clearly reveals in Luke 4:33 that demons are spirits.
In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an evil spirit.
Hinduism, Buddhism, Wicca, and other modern day pagan religions, worship demons, rather than the God of the Bible. We can know this because anyone who rejects Jesus Christ, rejects God.
Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. (2 John 9)
With these facts clearly documented from the Holy Bible, it is easy to know that the foundational teaching of Freemasonry, namely that all men worship God, is not true. Since Freemasonry does not follow in the teachings of Christ, the god of Freemasonry cannot be the God of the Bible.
Since God is a Spirit, a question you might ask of a Worshipful Master, or other Mason, is the following:
Is Vishnu, the god which Hindus worship, the same spirit which you refer to as the Great Architect of the Universe?
It is a simple question. The answer is either "Yes", or "No."
If the Mason answers yes, then you will know that he does not know the difference between the God of the Bible and a demon. He does not know God. How can he be a Christian?
If he says no, then obviously you have demonstrated to him that all men do not worship the same God simply using a variety of different names. When Freemasonry accepts the god of a Hindu as a Supreme Being, it declares that demons are Supreme Beings. How can he be sure that the spirit he worships in lodge as the G.A.O.T.U. is not a demon?
Does Freemasonry lift up Jesus Christ as the only way to salvation as is documented in John 14:6? Clearly, Freemasonry does not follow in the teachings of Christ. Therefore, Freemasons do not have God. (2 John 9)
Freemasonry is a pagan religion. Paul warned that it was not possible for a man to participate in paganism and also be a Christian. He wrote:
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons. (1 Corinthians 10:21)
In John 4:24, Jesus told us:
"God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."
If a man has bought into the Masonic lie that all men worship the same god, simply using a variety of different names, then he cannot be worshiping in truth. Therefore, he cannot be worshiping God when he goes into the lodge.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.0 /5 from 158 reviews
I booked a room with two queen beds for our family of five. We checked in quickly and were given our key to our room. When I opened the door I saw two double beds in the room. When I checked in I was not told I would be getting a room with two doubles, which would not work for my family. I came back downstairs and asked for a refund and went across the street and paid the same price for a better room that included a free breakfast.
The carpet in my room was damp around the refrigerator and the bottoms of the white socks I was wearing were dirty from the carpet. Everything else seemed to be clean. Adjusting the thermostat was a little challenging at first but having a unit that did not blow all of the conditioned air into the curtains was a plus. The breakfasts I ordered were good were good. I would choose this hotel again when I'm in Layton.
We stayed here as its not too far from Lagoon. The lobby is beautiful, the staff was very friendly and helpful and its convenient to a lot if shopping. There's a Target nearby in case you've forgotten anything! The only complaint I would have is the beds could use some updating. They're not that comfortable. Overall though, nice hotel.
We asked for a handicap room and the shower had a bathtub. It is too hard for a handicapped person to climb over a bathtub! The room is dirty. Holes in the wall in the bathroom. The exhaust fan in the bathroom was filthy dirty. I would not stay there again nor will I refer family. Extremely disappointed for a Hilton experience.
Very clean and very comfortable

Par C. W. Higgins - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format: CD
Despite some extreme similarities to the above mentioned Doobies, and especially Michael McDonald, this CD is a very pleasant listen. It is cut from the same sonic/songwriting cloth and reminds one of a time when smart, adult-oriented pop was the order of the day. 1980 was a time of the fledgling New Wave era, but with releases like this, proves there was still a warm streak to the pop charts. This album is full of bouncy hooks and soulful vocals, with a singer-songwriter piano/bass/drums foundation. If you like "What a Fool Believes", by the Doobies, this is right up that musical alley. Dupree more than aptly emulates and exploits all that is good about jazzy pop. The drumming is particularly good. Another hit from this era, "If You Should Sail", by Nielsen/Pearson is recalled on Dupree's harmonica during one song. "Hot Rod Hearts has a winning chorus, full of layered vocal harmonies. The best way to recommend this album is to cite similar artists with whom Robbie relates: Doobies, Steely Dan, Ambrosia, Stephen Bishop, Andrew Gold, Paul Simon, Rupert Holmes and Birtie Higgins, to name a few.
Wounded Bird is a great label. They may not offer bonus tracks or expanded artwork and notes, but they provide solid sonics (if not remastered), and seem to fill a much-needed void for these semi-forgotten gems. Enjoy!

This disc is Robbie Dupree's very best, he seemed to fade into the woodwork, after this album, but did a very good job on this album. "Steal Away" is definitely most sought out song on this disc (and "Hot Rod Hearts"), but the others have their own appeal, too, just really good pop/soft rock. If you like the late 70's-early 80's sound you will love this.

Despite the product review, this is NOT the first worldwide CD issue of this album. It was issued in the 90s by Elektra on 7559-60969-2, a copy of which I have in front of me now. I agree with the other reviewer: Wounded Bird don't remaster and don't offer bonus tracks, which is a pity as the end result is lacklustre empty sound of what was a good album (ref Nicolette Larson - "In the nick of time" as another example of really poor transfers).

In the early 1980's, music artists such as The Doobie Brothers, Jay Ferguson, Bertie Higgins, and Dan Fogelberg were releasing what I call "easy rock" that had touches of other influences such as jazz, disco, folk, and/or blues. Robbie Dupree's debut falls into that category. This is a very wonderful album throughout that features the hits "Steal Away" and the unforgettable "Hot Rod Hearts". The Doobie Brothers influence is undeniable, but Dupree's music is still original and sounds fresh. It reminds me very much of Patrick Simmons' 1983 release "Arcade", as the easy rock sound is the same. This is one of those out of print albums that was rescued by Wounded Bird Records (thank you for once again making this album available to the public).

I remember listening to Robbie Dupree while in high school. When I heard it recently, I was surprised at how much I still enjoyed it. The CD was delivered in perfect shape, with no scratches. It also came early. I hope that we do business together again. Thanks, Julie

Four Summer Day Trips 2016
Polesden Lacey
Four lovely day trips for the summer months to make the most of the good weather
Everyone welcome - treat yourself, you will have a lovely time
Teresa's Tempting Tuesday Treats 2016
Hylands House
A Warm Welcome to Teresa Butler's Theatre Club of Kent. If you enjoy the theatre, but find it too much trouble to book tickets and arrange transport etc my theatre club may be just the "ticket" for you. I do all the work – you just pick your choice of show, turn up on the day and ENJOY.
I will be there to sort out everything as we go along so you really do not have to do a thing.
Theatregoing has never been cheap and I buy top price tickets [unless stated otherwise] for my clients. But as I pass on the group rate reductions to my clients they get excellent value for money.
I run two separate branches of the club with coach pick up points covering most of East Kent so there should be a boarding point near you. All you have to do is turn up!

We arrived hours before check-in and the hotel was booked up. Not to worry though, Lora let us check our luggage, grab some coffee and fruit for our son and we were off. We ran really really late gettin back to the hotel, way past check-in time. I called the hotel and Marlissa was oh so helpful, told us not to worry and that our room is ready and our bags had been taking up to the room. By the time we returned it was late, we arrived and Marlissa was helpful in getting us our keys. The room was nice, 3rd floor, clean and comfy. There was even a welcome snack basket, nice to feel spoiled. Thanks Lora!! Next morning was breakfast... a serious breakfast, not just toast. We made sausage crossiants, waffles w/fruit on top and delicious oatmeal. The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing. We don't get up north that often, but if we do, we are staying there. The breakfast in it self is savings. $100 for a room, is really $70 bucks, cause you and your family save the money with the free, better than McDonalds breakfast. Overall, great location, great staff, great rooms. I just wish it was warmer, the pool area looked real nice. Hats off to the staff, Lora and Marlissa thanks for making our stay so great.

Qawwali is an ancient musical tradition that integrates spiritual, philosophical, religious, musical, and poetic elements to create an atmosphere that facilitates a spiritual connection between participants in a mehfil-e-samaa – a gathering of listeners of qawwali – and the ones they truly love. Qawwali has existed in a number of forms – samaa, zikr, Vedic chants and many others – for at least thirty-two centuries. The form of qawwali practiced today was invented by Hazrat Amir Khusrao in the thirteenth century. A poet, scholar, philosopher, politician, and musician, Khusrao defined, documented and established the tradition of Khusravi qawwali. He trained twelve young men – the Qawwal Bachay – in the art of qawwali to help propagate qawwali. Miyan Saamat Bin Ibrahim was the leader of this first group of qawwali performers. The tradition thus established has been preserved for more than eight centuries by the descendants of the Qawwal Bachay. It is followed by performers of qawwali in Pakistan, India and the rest of the world today. Farid Ayaz Qawwal & Abu Muhammad Qawwal are direct descendants of Miyan Saamat Bin Ibrahim and represent the twenty-seventh generation of the original qawwali performers trained by Amir Khusrao. Masters of music, poetry and rhythm, heirs to the original tradition of Khusrao's qawwali, expert musicians, and the torchbearer's of the tradition of Khusravi qawwali, the brothers are considered to be the foremost qawwals in the world today. They are known for their tremendous loyalty to Khusravi qawwali, their immense knowledge of Hindustani Sangeet, and for the remarkable fidelity and purity of their song; the qawwali that they perform is the same one that was practiced more than eight hundred years ago. Nothing has been allowed to change.
Rakesh Chaurasia, the nephew and child prodigy of flute maestro Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, has a famous name to live up to. Amongst the promising musicians of the second generation, Rakesh has carved a niche for himself , as an accomplished flautist. Incorporating the tradition of his renowned uncle and infusing his personal style , he has evolved a style which while maintaining the purity of the flute manages to capture the attention of the young listeners too. The most accomplished of disciples of his uncle, however, shows all the promise to carry the Chaurasia legacy to new heights. Rakesh has already globe trotted many times over, enthralling audiences at classical and non-classical concerts .He is also an accomplished studio musician having recorded with most of the leading stalwarts of the Indian film industry. Rakesh has been the recipient of numerous awards and accolades. He received the Indian Music Academy Award, presented by the Honourable President Of India, Dr..A.P.J Abdul Kalam in 2007, the Aditya Birla Kalakiran Puraskar in 2008, the Guru Shishya Award in 2011, IWAP-Pandit Jasraj Sangeet Ratna Award in 2013 and the Pannalal Ghosh Puraskar 2013. Recently Rakesh toured as a duo for classical concerts as well as for The Masters of Percussion with legendary tabla virtuoso Ustad Zakir Hussain at some prestigious venues globally. Rakesh has also had the priviledge of performing with some international names such as Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer, Joshua Redman. Rakesh's most recent venture is his fusion band Rakesh and Friends(RAF) which creates music that appeals to the young without sacrificing the essence of classical music. He is destined to carve a niche for himself in the realm of Indian Classical Music with the simple yet extremely challenging instrument, the Bansuri.
Aditya Kalyanpur is a talented tabla player and percussionist beyond his years, who has made a distinguished career working with some of the most prestigious names in Indian classical, jazz, and fusion genres such as Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, AR Rahman, Shankar Mahadevan, Pandit Jasrajji, Larry Coryell, George Brooks, Kenwood Denard, Boston based jazz band Natraj, Mickey Hart, John Mclaughflin. Kalyanpur was first seen with his Guru Ustad Zakir Hussain for the famous "Wah Taj!" television commercial at the age of 11. Having the honor of being recognized as an "A" Grade Artist of All India Radio, he has given public performances along with his guru. Since then he has lent the enchanting music of his tabla to numerous commercials. Honored with the title of Taal - Mani, Aditya Kalyanpur is the recipient of ITC's prestigious Vidyasagar Award as well as the Sangeet Visharad. A commerce graduate, Aditya Kalyanpur has also achieved the distinct title as a Music Diplomat from Mumbai University. He has received scholarship from the Centre for Cultural Resources and Training in New Delhi. In addition to many awards given in India and the United States, Kalyanpur is one of the first tabla players ever to be invited to Estonia for the prestigious Orient Arts Festival. As a soloist and accompanist, he has performed at other prestigious music festivals in India and abroad including the Edinburgh festival in Scotland, the Earagal Arts Festival in Ireland, and the Jazz Yatra in Bombay, India.On a more local scene, Kalyanpur has also appeared at the Great Lakes Folk Festival held every year in Lansing, Michigan, and many other festivals and competitions held across the United States. As a mark of his true versatility as a musician, Kalyanpur has performed solo for many bands and instrumental groups, including the world famous The Rolling Stones and also recorded for their saxophonist, Tim Ries. Aditya Kalyanpur is currently the leader of his fusion band Fuzikk, and a member of the world renowned group Bombay Jazz comprised of jazz legends Larry Coryell, George Brooks and Indian Flute Maestro Pandit Ronu Mazumdar.

Nice experience to London and back using Virgin Trains East Coast.
I recently had the pleasure of using their services for a trip to London. I booked a few nights in advance and everything was great in terms of the service and the actual ride down to England.

I have used the Euston to Glasgow service several times. Both standard and first class when I'm feeling royal!
The trains are always clean, reliable and pretty much on time. The quiet coaches are great to avoid the occasional vocally challenged passenger. Much easier then flying.more
I bought a return ticket and wanted to get a refund for the return portion since I booked another ticket onward to somewhere else. At Euston station the staff member informed me this was possible but would need to call them and apply online ( in other words make it as much hassle as possible ).

Oh yeah, you never did upload thos video tutorials to youtube :P
I dont even have a youtube channel.
Aw oh well.
Think it was a video tutorial, 2 parts. Did you delete your youtube channel?
From Shuffle? If its here, I am pretty sure I dont have that tag or tutorial anymore. I havent used a render from that series in a long time.
Oh ups, it was Kaede her name was :P
Kanade..... I dont remember ever making a signature with Kanade. You do mean... Kanade Tachibana from Angel Beats right?
Hello mister
Did you never post that tutorial with Kanade on here? Can't find it :/
Wanted to share it with someone on another forum, someone who's trying to do C4Ds in the signature, and doing some liquifying on it.
Edit: Seems like you've made more than one sig with Kanade.
I meant the one where you used a stock image with her on it, then put some C4Ds around the edges and then liquified the C4Ds. Not sure, but I think you made a B7W version of it (too).
Huge face in your comments :P
Registered, I have good feelings about this one.

The country-specific risk of hip fracture and the 10-year probability of a major osteoporotic fracture were determined on a worldwide basis from a systematic review of literature. There was a greater than 10-fold variation in hip fracture risk and fracture probability between countries.
The present study aimed to update the available information base available on the heterogeneity in the risk of hip fracture on a worldwide basis. An additional aim was to document variations in major fracture probability as determined from the available FRAX models.
Studies on hip fracture risk were identified from 1950 to November 2011 by a Medline OVID search. Evaluable studies in each country were reviewed for quality and representativeness and a study (studies) chosen to represent that country. Age-specific incidence rates were age-standardised to the world population in 2010 in men, women and both sexes combined. The 10-year probability of a major osteoporotic fracture for a specific clinical scenario was computed in those countries for which a FRAX model was available.
Following quality evaluation, age-standardised rates of hip fracture were available for 63 countries and 45 FRAX models available in 40 countries to determine fracture probability. There was a greater than 10-fold variation in hip fracture risk and fracture probability between countries.
Worldwide, there are marked variations in hip fracture rates and in the 10-year probability of major osteoporotic fractures. The variation is sufficiently large that these cannot be explained by the often multiple sources of error in the ascertainment of cases or the catchment population. Understanding the reasons for this heterogeneity may lead to global strategies for the prevention of fractures.
The clinical manifestation of osteoporosis is in the fractures that arise. Hip fractures are a useful surrogate for determining the international burden of osteoporosis. Although they account for less than 20% of all osteoporotic fractures [1, 2], they account for the majority of fracture-related health care expenditure and mortality in men and women over the age of 50 years [1–4]. In addition, the vast majority of hip fracture cases come to medical attention and require hospital facilities. As a result, much more is known of the epidemiology of hip fracture than for other fractures associated with osteoporosis.
A variety of studies have examined hip fracture rates in different regions of the world [5–11]. Greater than 10-fold differences have been found, largely on the basis of register studies undertaken on a regional or national level and at different calendar years. The aim of the present study was to provide the most accurate assessment of hip fracture risk in all countries for which data were available. In addition, we wished to examine the heterogeneity of major fracture probability in those countries where a FRAX model was available.
We updated a systematic search conducted by Cauley et al. on behalf of the International Task Force for the ISCD IOF FRAX Initiative [12, 13]. This was a Medline OVID search covered between 1 January 1950 and 10 May 2010. Details regarding the search strategy and MeSH terms used are provided in Cauley et al. [12, 13]. The three primary concepts were: fracture, incidence and the country or their related terms. The three concepts were searched singly, and then merged together through the AND term. The information base was updated by the International Osteoporosis Foundation using the same search terms with a cut-off date of 7 November 2011. Additional sources were reviews by Kanis et al. [14] and Cheng et al. [5]. We also supplemented this search by hand-searching the references of all papers to identify any additional articles of interest. In several instances additional information was provided by the authors of papers to aid in the assessment of study quality or to provide additional detail not reported in the original publication.
Abstracts and full papers identified by the search were reviewed. We included non-English articles. All papers that reported age- and sex-specific incidence rates of hip fracture in a general population were eligible for a more detailed review. Further exclusion criteria comprised data that could not be standardised to the world population (age categories incomplete from the age of 50 years or age categories >10 years), an uncertain population base or ill-defined cases.
For the remaining studies, a quality assessment, originally developed by Cauley et al. [13], was adapted to provide three grades:
Where assessment was not possible, the study was discarded.
From the publications available, one dataset was chosen to characterise hip fracture risk in that country which could be a single study or the mean of several studies where appropriate. Criteria for selecting a study or studies over others to represent a country are listed below and details are provided in the Appendix.
Where a FRAX model was available for a particular country, the hip fracture rates used for FRAX were selected since these used recent data were available and had been vetted previously for quality or consistency [13, 14]. Notwithstanding, recent publications, appearing between May 2010 and November 2011 (search cut-off dates) were reviewed to determine the adequacy of the data used for the FRAX models. In the case of China, more recent regional data had been published [15] and were preferentially selected for this report. For Belgium, we used more extensive national estimates (2005–2007 rather than 2006) supplied by the same author [16, 17], M Hiligsmann 2011, personal communication]. For Italy, we used recent national data for 2007 [18] rather than the four regional estimates used in FRAX (version 3.4) [14].
In the absence of a FRAX model, national studies were preferred over regional estimates. For regional estimates, the most recent and higher quality studies were preferred. In four instances, several studies of comparable quality were available and we used the mean value of these estimates (Brazil, four estimates [10, 19–21]; Croatia, three estimates in two reports [22, 23]; Greece, three estimates [9, 24, 25]; Russia, two studies [26] Olga Yershova and Olga Lesnyak 2010, personal communication]; Poland, three studies [27, 28] Edward Czerwinski and Roman Lorenc 2011, personal communication] and Spain, five estimates [14]). For Argentina, China, Iran, Malaysia, Morocco, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Thailand and the UK, we used a single regional estimate but in each instance a review of alternate sources showed that the estimate we chose did not substantially differ from alternate estimates. Sources of information are given in Table 3 of the Appendix.
Incidence (rates/100,000) was assembled by age and by sex. Where possible, 5-year age categories were used. Where 5-year age intervals were not available, 10-year intervals were used (intervals of greater than 10 years were an exclusion criterion). For each country, age- and sex-specific rates were used to compute age-adjusted incidence of hip fracture in men, women and men and women combined adjusted to the world population. UN data were used for population demography in 5-year groups for the year 2010 [29]. In the case of Singapore and USA, hip fracture rates were available by ethnic origin. For the purposes of this study, population-weighted means were used and applied to the total population on the recommendation of the Working Group of the IOF Committee of Scientific Advisors. For Israel, incidence was available by race in a single study and a population-weighted mean was used [30]. A total of 72 studies from 63 countries were selected for the calculation of standardised incidence. Details of each study are given in Table 3 of the Appendix.
For those countries where a FRAX model was available, we computed the 10-year probability of a major osteoporotic fracture (hip, clinical vertebral, forearm or humeral fracture) using version 3.5 of FRAX (http://www.shef.ac.uk/FRAX/). Since FRAX provides individual rather than population-based probabilities, we chose the clinical scenario of an individual aged 65 years with a prior fragility fracture (and no other clinical risk factors) at the threshold of osteoporosis as judged by BMD at the femoral neck (i.e. a T-score of −2.5 SD). The body mass index was set at 24 kg/m2. Estimates were made for men and women. Note that the T-score in men is calculated using the same reference range as that used in women.
As of November 2011, 45 FRAX calculators were available for the 40 countries listed in Table 1. Note that five models (flagged in Table 1) were not yet published at the cut-off date but were released online at the beginning of 2012. One of these was a surrogate model (Sri Lanka) derived from the fracture hazard of expatriate Indians living in Singapore and the death hazard for Sri Lanka. The models for Belgium, Czech Republic, Lebanon and Italy were updated with improved or more recent epidemiology and were also released online at the start of 2012. For USA and Singapore, fracture probabilities were available by ethnic origin. For the purposes of this study, means were used weighted by population size in addition to ethnic-specific probabilities.
For the purposes of cartography, we colour coded hip fracture incidence according to categories of risk designated as high, medium or low (red, orange or green, respectively) in men, women and men and women combined. The risk categories were arbitrary but selected to approximate tertiles of the distribution (Table 2). For categories of fracture probability, we used the same thresholds for men and women.
A total of 72 studies from 63 countries were selected for inclusion into the hip fracture resource. Studies selected are summarised in Tables 4, ,55 and and66 of the Appendix together with the selection criteria and quality grades. There was a marked heterogeneity in hip fracture risk between countries. In women (Fig. 1), the lowest annual age-standardised incidences were found in Nigeria (2/100,000), South Africa (20), Tunisia (58) and Ecuador (73). The highest rates were observed in Denmark (574/100,000), Norway (563), Sweden (539) and Austria (501). Numerical data for other countries are given in Tables 4, ,55 and and66 of the Appendix. Discounting the estimates from Nigeria (poor quality) and South Africa (rates for 1957–1963), there was approximately a 10-fold range in hip fracture incidence.
Within countries, the age-standardised incidence of hip fracture in men was approximately half that noted in women (Fig. 2). Thus where higher rates were observed in women, higher rates were found in men and vice versa. Omitting the studies from Africa, the highest annual incidence in men was seen in Denmark (290/100,000) and the lowest in Ecuador (35/100,000). There was a significant correlation between the rates in men and women (r=0.82; p<0.001). The correlation was similar when only high quality studies or only national studies were considered (data not shown).
The geographic distribution by fracture risk is shown for men, women and men and women combined in Figs. 3, ,44 and and5,5, respectively. In men (Fig. 3), there was a swathe of high-risk countries extending from North Western Europe (Iceland, Ireland, Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway), both eastwards to the Russian Federation and downwards through to central Europe (Belgium, Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and thereafter to the south west (Greece, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia) and onwards to Iran, Kuwait and Oman. Other high-risk countries for men were Singapore, Malta, Japan, Korea and Taiwan.
Regions of moderate risk included Oceania, China and India, Argentina and the countries of North America. If ethnic-specific rates were considered in USA, then the Hispanic, Asian and Black populations of men would be colour coded green. Low-risk countries included Latin America with the exception of Argentina, Africa and Saudi Arabia, the Iberian Peninsula and two countries in South East Asia (Indonesia and Thailand).
In women there was a broadly similar pattern as that seen in men. A notable difference in the distribution of high risk was that Russia was represented as moderate risk in women rather than high risk (in men). Also, the swathe of high-risk countries in Europe and beyond was more consolidated extending from North Western Europe (Iceland, UK, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway) through to central Europe (Belgium, Germany, Austria and Switzerland Italy) and thereafter to the south west (Greece, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia) and onwards to Lebanon, Oman and Iran. Other high-risk countries for women were Hong Kong, Singapore, Malta and Taiwan. If ethnic-specific rates were considered in USA, then Hispanic, Asian and Black populations would be colour coded green but Caucasian women coded at high risk.
Regions of moderate risk included Oceania, the Russian Federation, the southern countries of Latin America and the countries of North America. Low-risk regions included the northern regions of Latin America, Africa, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, India, China, Indonesia and the Philippines. It is notable that in Europe, the majority of countries were categorised at high or moderate risk. Low risk was identified only in Croatia and Romania.
The consolidated map using age- and sex-standardised hip fracture rates is shown in Fig. 5. Note that the thresholds for categories of risk differ from those used in men and those used in women (which also differ from each other—see Table 1). With this proviso, the general pattern remained similar. Discordances in classification were relatively few. In the consolidated map, two countries coded low risk had been previously coded at intermediate risk (men in India and China). At the other extreme, one country coded as high risk had been previously coded at intermediate risk (men and women in Argentina).
As might be expected, there were more discordances in the moderate risk category. Six countries coded at moderate risk had been previously coded at low risk (men in Portugal, Thailand and Spain; women in Croatia, Jordan and Romania). Twelve countries coded at moderate risk had been previously coded at high risk (women in Hong Kong, Turkey, Italy, Lebanon and the UK; men in Kuwait, Japan, Russia, South Korea and Finland; men and women from Greece and Singapore).
A total of 45 country and/or ethnic models were available for inclusion into the distribution of fracture probability. The FRAX models used are summarised in Table 7 of the Appendix. There was a marked heterogeneity in the 10-year probability of a major fracture between countries. In men (Fig. 6), the lowest probabilities were found in Tunisia (1.9%), Ecuador (2.5%), Philippines (4.8%) and China (5.4%). The highest rates were observed in Denmark (23%), Sweden (21%), Norway (19%) and Switzerland (18%). Numerical data for other countries is given in Table 7 of the Appendix. Thus, there was a greater than 10-fold range in fracture probability.
Fracture probabilities were consistently higher in women than in men but the difference was relatively modest. On average, probabilities were 23% higher in women than in men. This contrasts, therefore, with hip fracture incidence which was twofold higher in women than in men. As expected, there was a close correlation between probabilities in men and those in women (r=0.88; p<0.001).
The geographic distribution by fracture risk is shown in men and women in Figs. 7 and and8,8, respectively. High-risk regions for men were Taiwan, Austria, USA (Caucasian), Switzerland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Those at low risk included Africa (Tunisia), Oceania, the Latin American countries of Ecuador and Colombia and several European countries (Spain, Poland, Romania, France and Turkey). Other countries at low risk were China, Lebanon, Philippines and the US Black population.
The general pattern of fracture probability in women was similar to that in men (Fig. 8). Discordances in classification were relatively few. Five countries coded as low risk in men were at intermediate risk for women (Poland, New Zealand, Romania, France and Turkey). Seven countries coded as moderate risk in men were coded at high risk in women (Japan, Belgium, Singapore, Canada, Malta, UK and Slovakia).
The principal finding of the present study is that there is a remarkable variation in the risk of hip fracture worldwide. Age-standardised rates varied approximately 10-fold in both men and women. The difference in incidence between countries was much greater than the differences in incidence between sexes within a country. These findings confirm conclusions derived from earlier work [5–10, 31] but extend the information base considerably. Whereas a recently published structured review provided information on 32 countries [5], the present systematic review identified 62 countries for which hip fracture rates were available. The greater capture of information provides a more detailed map on which to place ecological patterns. In the case of age- and sex-standardised rates for example (see Fig. 5), there appears to be a crescent of high-risk countries beginning in Northern Europe (Iceland, Ireland, Norway and Sweden) that runs through middle Europe (Denmark Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Austria) and then extends south-eastwards through eastern Europe (Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia) and beyond (Oman and Iran). Other high-risk countries (Malta, Argentina and Taiwan) escape this pattern. Hypotheses to explain the heterogeneity in risk will need to take these patterns into account.
The present study also reports the heterogeneity in fracture probability for 45 countries and/or ethnic groups with a FRAX model available. Probability is computed from the hazards of death and fracture and differs fundamentally from incidence—a point often unrecognised [32]. FRAX computes probabilities for individuals and not (normally) for a nation so that, for the expression of fracture probability, we chose a clinical scenario of an individual with a prior fragility fracture and a femoral neck T-score for BMD of −2.5 SD. The choice of scenario is somewhat arbitrary but of clinical relevance. We chose the age of 65 years in order to avoid a marked effect of the death risk on the estimate of probability. The 10-year probability of a 'major osteoporotic fracture' (hip, clinical spine, forearm and humerus) varied markedly in the different countries. As in the case of hip fracture incidence, there was a greater than 10-fold range in fracture probability. There was some, though not complete, concordance between FRAX-based probabilities and hip fracture incidence reflecting, in part, the effect of the heterogeneity of mortality in different regions [3, 14].
Although probability estimates were lower in men than in women, the difference was modest (lower by 23%) compared to the twofold difference in age-standardised hip fracture risk. The closer approximation between sexes for the probability estimate arises because the risk of hip and other osteoporotic fractures is more or less identical in men and women of the same age and femoral neck BMD [33–35]. The clinical scenario chosen incorporated a BMD (as well as a prior fragility fracture). The somewhat higher probability estimates in women reflects mainly the lower death risk in women compared with men.
There are many well-recognised limitations in this type of analysis, particularly for register studies that include selection bias, the over identification of cases (double counting), inaccurate reporting or coding of fractures and errors in the denominator catchment population, particularly in regional rather than national studies. The question arises to what extent might heterogeneity of risk be accounted for by these artefacts. Several considerations suggest that these errors, though significant, have a minor effect in explaining the heterogeneity in a worldwide perspective. For example, a large prospective study undertaken in 14 regions in six different countries in Europe using standardised methodology demonstrated variability in hip fracture incidence of the same magnitude as that reported in the present study [9]. Analysis of the potential errors of any one estimate was ±10%, which pales into insignificance against the 1,000% differences in fracture risk. This study was a regional study but national register studies in Europe have shown similar findings [31].
Another limitation is the assumption that regional estimates of hip fracture risk are representative of the country in question. In addition to large variations in fracture rates around the world, fracture rates may vary within countries. In addition to ethnic-specific differences [3, 12, 13, 30], up to twofold differences in hip fracture incidence have been reported using common methodology with higher rates in urban communities than rural areas in Argentina [36], Turkey [9], Sweden [37], Norway [38–40], Switzerland [41], Croatia [23] and in USA [42, 43]. The concern is perhaps less where several regional estimates have been used. In the present study, the majority of studies chosen (60%) were national rather than regional estimates. In further 10 countries, the regional estimate was consistent with other regional estimates made within a few years (Argentina, China, Iran, Malaysia, Morocco, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Thailand and UK). In five countries with multiple regional surveys, we used a mean value where studies were of comparable quality (Brazil, Croatia, Greece, Spain and Russia). This left 11 regional surveys (18% of countries) where we had to rely on a single regional estimate. The analysis of national rather than regional data did not alter our principal findings.
Notwithstanding, in some regions of the world, not all hip fracture cases come to medical attention. The risk estimate for Russia took this into account [26], but the problem has also been identified in other countries (not included in the present study). The underreporting of hip fracture cases has been observed in Georgia (75% not hospitalised), Kazakhstan (50% not hospitalised), Kyrgyzstan (50% not hospitalised) and Moldova (uncertain proportion) [44]. The likely reason is that facilities for surgical management are limited so that hospital admission is not required. Moreover, patients are required to pay for their prosthesis. Thus substantial errors may arise that lead to underreporting of hip fracture cases.
In addition to the large geographic variation reported in the incidence of hip fracture throughout the world, the age- and sex-specific incidence of fracture is changing. This has been well characterised for hip fracture but also noted at other sites of fracture [45, 46]. Estimates of incidence trends have varied widely and variously reported an increase, plateau and decrease, in age-adjusted incidence rates for hip fracture among both men and women. Studies in Western populations, whether in North America, Europe or Oceania, have generally reported increases in hip fracture incidence through the second half of the last century, but those studies continuing to follow trends over the last two decades have found that rates stabilise, with age-adjusted decreases being observed in certain centres. In contrast, the mortality hazard has continued to decrease in most regions of the world. In other countries (e.g. Japan, China, Turkey, Mexico and Hispanic Americans from California), age-adjusted hip fracture rates continue to rise [15, 47–50]. In the majority of countries, there is scanty information available. Thus both national and regional estimates undertaken several years ago may not be representative of current risks. Again, it is useful to place this in perspective. Just over half the studies in the present study (52%) were conducted in 2005 or thereafter and a further 28% at or after the year 2000 (see Tables 4, ,5,5, and and66 of the Appendix). On average, secular changes approximate 1% per annum [44, 46, 47] and if operative are likely to introduce accuracy errors of 10% or less. All these considerations indicate that there are multiple sources of error inherent in this type of analysis but that their magnitude does not undermine the principal finding of 10-fold differences in the risk of hip fracture risk and in 10-year fracture probability worldwide.
The question arises why fracture risk varies so much. The reasons are not known. The trends in incidence strongly suggest environmental rather than genetic factors. This view is supported by changes in risk in immigrant populations. For example, Blacks in USA have lower fracture probabilities than Caucasians, but the incidence of hip fracture in US Blacks is much higher than in African Blacks [12, 13]. A similar 'acclimatisation' is seen in the Japanese population of Hawaii [51] and the higher fracture probabilities among Chinese living in Hong Kong and Singapore compared with mainland China (see Table 7 of the Appendix).
Many risk factors for osteoporosis, and in particular for hip fracture, have been identified which include a low body mass index, low BMD, low calcium intake, reduced sunlight exposure, early menopause, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity levels, migration status obesity and, somewhat unexpectedly, obesity. These may have important effects within communities but do not explain differences in risk between communities [9]. The factor which best predicts this is socioeconomic prosperity that in turn may be related to low levels of physical activity or an increased probability of falling on hard surfaces [8]. This is plausible, but only a hypothesis. Paradoxically, socioeconomic prosperity may protect against hip fractures within countries [52]. The contrast between ecological and population risk factors is not uncommon and in the context of hip fracture, for example, is noted with calcium nutrition where countries with the higher calcium intakes have the greater hip fracture risk [53, 54]. It will be important to determine whether these and other factors are causally related to the heterogeneity of fracture risk. If such factors can be identified and are reversible, the primordial prevention of hip fracture might be feasible in those communities with presently low rates.
