		When the ball is forced into a pocket the stroke is called a winning hazard; when the strikers ball falls into a pocket after contact with the object ball, the stroke is a losing hazard; red hazards mean that the red ball is the object-ball, white hazards the white.
		The ball first struck rebounds from the cushion, and at the close of the stroke all three balls are at rest in a position exactly similar to that at starting, which is called by the French position mere.
		If the strikers ball be angledthat is, so placed in the jaws of the pocket as not to allow him to strike the previously-played ball he may have all the balls except his own and the object ball removed from the table to allow him to try bricole from the cushion.

		A ball may bounce on the cushion tops and rails of the table without being a jumped ball if it returns to the bed of the table by itself and without touching anything that is not a permanent part of the pyramid table.
		Balls that strike or touch anything not a part of the table, such as light fixture, chalk on the rails and cushion tops, etc., shall be considered jumped balls even though they might return to the bed of the table after contacting items which are not parts of the table.
		When any balls on or near the spotting line interfere with the spotting of balls, the balls to be spotted are placed on the spotting line as close as possible to the foot spot and as close as possible to the interfering balls without being frozen to them.

	The Origin of The Term "Pool"
		More balls were added to the game by the British during the first decades of the 19th century, which allowed room for more players.
		The British form evolved into a unique betting game called Life Pool, in which each player had a different ball, which he used as a cue ball, and a player who's ball was pocketed by another player lost a "life." Lose three lives and you were out the game.
		The contribution from Life Pool was that multiple colored balls were added to the 15 pyramid balls.

		The team speculated that to have formed a colony on Balls Pyramid there must have been yet another freak event of migration sometime after the insect landed on Lord Howe.
		In February this year two pairs of the nocturnal species were captured and transported from Balls Pyramid by boat to Lord Howe Island, then flown to the mainland.

		Like Lord Howe, Balls Pyramid is the eroded remnant of a much larger volcanic island created about 6.5 million years ago.

		The insects, Dryococelus australis, were thought to be extinct until two years ago, when a tiny colony, believed to number as few as 20, was found on Balls Pyramid, a rocky outcrop 23 kilometres south of Lord Howe.
		Now Mr Fellenberg, an entomologist and one of Australia's leading stick insect experts, is running a breeding program whose immediate aim is to ensure the long-term survival of the Balls Pyramid colony and perhaps one day reintroduce the insects to the island.
		But rats that escaped from a beached ship rapidly put paid to them, and for 80 years it was thought the species was extinct - until an expedition to Balls Pyramid in 2001.
