3* x
by Richard - Wed 19th Oct 2005, 8:23pm
jpd said: Is the right answer.
If we assume the small area around the South pole is flat, our start point would be any point on the circle which is 1 + 1 / (2 * pi) miles North of the South pole.
Where else could I be?
You could also start on any circle which is
jpd said: Is that inclusive or exclusive?
If it doesn't include 1, then I think 4&13 work.
Peter is told the product, 52
Simon is told the sum, 17
52's factors are;
2&26, 4&13
Simon knows that Peter couldn't tell what the numbers were just from the product.
If Simon was told 28, then one of the possibilities for 28 are 5&23, but the product of 5&23 is 115 (which can be made in no other way) - so if Simon was told 28, then he couldn't know that Peter couldn't tell what the numbers were. Therefore Simon was told the sum 17. Peter now knows what the numbers are.
The possiblities for a sum of 17 are 2&15 (product 30), 3&14 (42), 4&13 (52), 5&12 (60), 6&11(66), 7&10(70), 8&9(72)
product 30 gives 2&15(sum 17), 3&10(13), 5&6(11)
Only a sum of 13 would be eliminated by Peter when told that Simon already knew that Peter couldn't tell what the numbers were (13 can also be 2&11 whose product 22 can only be formed in 1 way), leaving 2 remaining possibilities therefore Peter can't have worked out the right answer. Therefore it's not 2&15 as the answer.
The same argument can be used for 42,60,66,70 and 72, but not for 52.
Therefore Simon will also be able to work out that the numbers must be 4&13

Ok, this is an old chestnut, but is the single one of these sorts of problems that took me the longest time (and led to at least 1 man-day's loss of productivity at Deloitte).
I think of 2 integers between 1 and 100. I tell Peter the Product and Simon the Sum.
1.) Peter: "I don't know what the numbers are"
2.) Simon: "I knew you wouldn't"
3.) Peter: "Now you've siad that, I do know"
4.) Simon: "Now you've said that I also know"
What are the numbers? No computer programmes allowed
mjb said: OK, so I rushed the previous one a bit.
How aboot the centre of the earth, or is East undefined there as well. In which case, go out far enough such that your 1 mile East will take you back to where you started the Eastward leg.
East is definitely undefined along the whole of the straight line that runs through the North and the South pole. Also, how can you possibly walk at the centre of the Earth?
You are walking on the Earth's surface. And before you ask, no other form of transport is used.

Aw, come on! You start "on the equator", you finish "on the equator"!!
At a position one mile north of the place where walking east around the south pole brings you in a full circle 1 mile in circumference, back to the same point.
Rich, using semantics said: On the equator?
Also wrong.

jpd said: Good. Where else could you be?
On the equator?
mjb said: Also, depending on which north you take, you could be exactly 1 mile north of the South Pole.
Is also the wrong answer (East is undefined at the South pole).
mjb said: Anywhere exactly 2 miles north of the South Pole.
Is the wrong answer.
Anywhere exactly 2 miles north of the South Pole.
Also, depending on which north you take, you could be exactly 1 mile north of the South Pole.
jpd said: How did you deduce that 3.16 was the "most likely" multiple of 0.79?
jpd also said: If we don't spot this it's not too difficult to prove that the other three multiples of 79 (so 79, 158, 237) can't be an item value: they must all have two items with three fives (or 125) as a factor (we can't have four fives as the sum would be too large, and otherwise all three other item values would end in zero of five, which when summed with 79, 158 or 237 can't make a number ending in one).
because of the fives and zeros.
with 3,3,1,0.79 as a start point, multiplying one of 3,3,1 with a non-trivial number of pence would leave a partial pence result after the balancing division operation and a small pence multiplication would leave too large a result after division.
but 5's and zeros are easy to come by in the pence column.
Richard said: North pole?
Good. Where else could you be?
mjb said: Factorise 711 into 3,3,79. For addition, most likely multiple of 79 to use is 316, so we have 1,3,0.75,3.16 or similar. Then some guided trial and error to find the three smaller numbers.
so 1,3,0.75
becomes 1,1,2.25
then 1.25,0.8,2.25
and eventually hits 1.25,1.2,1.5 which is the answer.
I wasn't this efficient. How did you deduce that 3.16 was the "most likely" multiple of 0.79?
I dealt entirely in pence, so the sum was 711 and the product 711 million. 711 million factorises easily into six twos, two threes, six fives and 79. Each item must have a value which is a product of the factors, with the four items using all factors.
The item with 79 as a factor could only be 79 (on its own), 158 (with one two), 237 (with one three), 316 (with two twos), 395 (with one five), 474 (with a two and a three) or 632 (with three twos). All other possible combinations resulted in the item being worth more than 711.
For the last three possible values (395, 474, 632) it is trivial to prove that the other factors cannot be combined to form a sum less than or equal to 711 for the last three.
The minimum sum of item values for an item of value 316 is 710. Two of the item values for this minimum sum are 125 (which is 5 * 25) and 144 (which is 2 * 3 * 24); swapping the 5 with the (2 * 3) will obviously increase the sum by one to 711.
If we don't spot this it's not too difficult to prove that the other three multiples of 79 (so 79, 158, 237) can't be an item value: they must all have two items with three fives (or 125) as a factor (we can't have four fives as the sum would be too large, and otherwise all three other item values would end in zero of five, which when summed with 79, 158 or 237 can't make a number ending in one). From here the number of potential item values is small enough to discount them easily for each of these three multiples of 79.
We now know that one item is worth 316. We can easily discount having two items with three fives as factors as this would leave an item ending in an even number not ending in zero, so all three items must have at least one five as a factor and in fact two must have at least two fives as factors (otherwise we'd have to have an item with four fives as a factor which is too large). So our other three items have as factors five, 25 and 25.
Since our known item value ends in six, our desired sum ends in one, and our other items all have five as a factor, we must have either one or three items ending in five. Any item with two and five as a factor will end in zero, so two of these items must have the four twos distributed between them.
I'm sure you could continue like this but getting the answer through intuition at this point is trivial.
That seems to be the trivial answer.
I walk one mile South, one mile East and one mile North and end up where I started. Where am I?
(obviously don't answer if I've posed this one to you before)
North pole?
mjb said something
also making use of the fact that (not sure it this is generally true, but it works for these numbers)
for a,b and x,y where x=a*f, y=b/f
if a < x < b and a < y < b then (x+y) < (a+b)
Mike said: I hope you're expecting more than one possible answer to this...
I couldn't say how many answers I'm expecting.

If you actually had 23 people, all related closely, then presumably, you'd have more than the required number in each category. There must be a maximum number of closely related people.....

A certain family party consisted of 1 grandfather, 1 grandmother, 2 fathers, 2 mothers, 4 children, 3 grandchildren, 1 brother, 2 sisters, 2 sons, 2 daughters, 1 father-in-law, 1 mother-in-law, and 1 daughter-in-law. A total of 23 people, you might think, but, no. What is the minimum number of people here?
Does the person to whom that relationship corresponds have to be there as well? For example, does the grandfather's grandchild have to be there? If not then I guess you only need two women and two men who can cover everything between them.

From a recent Saturday Times Crossword:


The letter is signed by 13 senators and 24 representatives, all of them Republicans.
Follow this link to read the complete letter.
The issue burst into the headlines Monday after the governor made statements to the press indicating his support for relocating Syrian refugees in the state. At last count 31 state governors including 10 of the 18 governors of the Western Governors Conference, are asking for a halt to Syrian refugee resettlement.
State Sen. Laura Woods, who led the effort to send a letter to the Governor, said she was called to action by the groundswell of opposition from within her district after the controversy erupted on Monday.

Cincinnati Children's Hospital
Carolyn Lipchik
"The dean of the College of Medicine recalled Dr. Mitchell looking over blueprints and declaring, 'We'll have something here. There'll be nothing like it in the world.'"1
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) has a long history of commitment to medical research. Leadership in the 1920s modernized the hospital and infused it with a pioneering and innovative culture that has attracted exceptional researchers for decades, resulting in many important and life-saving medical advancements. The role of this culture in leading to early research achievements can be highlighted with the success stories of Josef Warkany and Albert Sabin, two of the most esteemed researchers to call Cincinnati home.
In 1921, a newly organized board of trustees, for what was then known as the Protestant Episcopal Hospital, aimed to vastly expand the mission and vision of Cincinnati's small charity hospital. Led by William Cooper Procter, the president of Procter and Gamble, the board raised money to purchase land near the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine with the intention of building its new hospital in an area dedicated to education and research. The board voted to change the institution's name to "Children's Hospital," to reflect the consolidation of pediatric clinics across the city into one modern institution. To help lead the expansion efforts, Procter hired Albert Graeme Mitchell, MD as the hospital's second endowed B. K. Rachford Professor of Pediatrics. He oversaw the planning of the new facility and its staff expansion. Mitchell was equally, if not more, dedicated to the principles of education and research as Procter, and worked to coordinate an affiliation between Children's Hospital and the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.2 Together they founded the Department of Pediatrics, where the researchers and clinicians at Children's continue to maintain their academic appointments to this day.
Mitchell was not satisfied with merely establishing academic affiliation with the university. "In a letter to the board, he argued that 'unless effort is made to study and investigate problems in a manner which will add in a constructive way to existing knowledge, we have all of us failed to function to the fullest extent.'" His arguments persuaded Procter to donate $2.5 million dollars for an additional construction project. Established as the Children's Hospital Research Foundation (CHRF) in 1931, it marked Children's Hospital as the only pediatric institution in the nation to build space devoted entirely to research.3 Today, the Research Foundation carries out its mission in over one million square feet of state-of-the-art laboratories.
Indeed, Mitchell "had the vision to create the department … he became the originator of the Children's Hospital Research Foundation. He could convince Mr. Procter that research in pediatrics would be very important because it would take care not only of the diseases of children, but also prevention," recalled Josef Warkany, MD.4 Warkany received his medical degree in Vienna and began his research early as a medical student, studying Vitamin D and phosphorus. He enjoyed telling a story about this work performed on a rabbit in his research lab. He asked the director for another rabbit when he could no longer effectively bleed his subject. The director responded, "You already have one!" After graduating, Warkany was accepted for a one-year research scholarship under Mitchell at Children's Hospital. Warkany was thrilled by the opportunity to have "as many rabbits and rats as he wanted." Before completing his fellowship, Mitchell asked Warkany to join the CHRF as a permanent staff member.5
Warkany continued to focus his studies on congenital malformations, or teratology, and carried out a series of pioneering studies that showed many malformations were caused by maternal nutritional deficiency, or exposure to environmental factors. In one clinical case in 1945, Warkany accidentally discovered that mercury poisoning caused acrodynia, an ailment commonly found in regions where there was high exposure to the heavy metal. This led to the preventative removal of mercury from medicines, where it had been a common additive.6 His discovery was the result of working in a culture that promoted clinical innovation, and having the laboratory resources to run the tests necessary to achieve results. Later, Warkany's reputation in science and medicine earned the CHRF federal grants to build an additional research building in the 1960s dedicated to studying developmental and cognitive disorders.7 The Institute for Developmental Research (IDR) "doubled office and laboratory space, quadrupled animal facilities, and allowed a large influx of basic scientists."8 With this project, the CHRF had the opportunity to expand its resources to a new generation of researchers.
Warkany was just one of many outstanding researchers recruited by Mitchell. In 1938, Mitchell pushed the CHRF to initiate the process of outside review by a Scientific Advisory Committee, comprised of leaders in the medical field. They advised Children's Hospital to establish a division of virology and immunology. The committee recommended Albert B. Sabin, MD, a young researcher at the Rockefeller Institute. In an interview, Sabin indicated that he had had the choice of three opportunities: to be promoted to a tenured position at the Rockefeller Institute, to pursue his research in Sweden, or to come to Cincinnati. He said that he chose the CHRF because "I wanted an opportunity to be able to study patients myself, to have access to patients, and to do my own laboratory work."9 Children's Hospital offered a unique cultural environment where Sabin could fuse his clinical and scientific research, a culture that persists to this day.
Sabin joined the CHRF in 1939. Though his work at Children's was interrupted by the Second World War, he returned from the Medical Corps having developed vaccines for Japanese encephalitis and dengue fever.10 After the war, Sabin resumed studying poliomyelitis, which had been his primary focus since the 1931 polio epidemic in New York. Sabin developed a live attenuated vaccine, insisting that the live virus offered quicker and longer-lasting immunity than the rival Salk vaccination already in use in the United States in the 1950s. In addition to Sabin's scientific advantage, his vaccine was delivered orally, which kept costs low and made it more accessible to communities and to less developed areas than standard injections.11
The international success of Sabin's vaccine was the result of years of development and clinical trials supported by the CHRF. After testing the viral strains on hundreds of monkeys and chimpanzees housed at Children's, he began trials on a prison population in Chillicothe, Ohio in 1954, and convinced the Soviet Union to test the vaccine on a large-scale basis in 1958.12 By 1960, over fifteen million people in the Soviet Union had been vaccinated, and the United States allowed the vaccine to be licensed for local use.13 With approval from the US Surgeon General, Children's Hospital worked with the County Medical Society to offer the vaccine free of charge to all school children in Cincinnati.14
Children's Hospital was among the first medical institutions to dedicate space and resources to promote discovery when pediatrics was a relatively novel field of medicine. Clinical and basic research continues to be a driving force in the vision for CCHMC. When its latest construction, a fourteen story building dedicated to translational research, opens in the summer of 2015, Children's will once again have the most space dedicated to research of any pediatric institution in the nation.15As an institution, its academic culture offers to new faculty today the same unique opportunities that it has for decades: an environment supportive of research and innovation with unparalleled research infrastructure that can catalyze clinical and translational outcomes and basic research. Mitchell's prediction about CCHMC was right; there is nothing else like it in the world.

Can Millo és una possessió de Santa Maria del Camí (Mallorca), a la vall de Coanegra. Va ser anomenada Son Farrí. Les cases varen ser destruïdes al  per una crescuda del torrent de Coanegra i reedificades un poc més amunt. També s'ha anomenat Son Nofret. El 1863 era propietat dels hereus de Joan Ordines. La possessió està situada entre Son Pou, Son Roig, Can Morei, Can Mates i Son Oliver. En l'actualitat està integrada dins Son Pou. Tenia un hort regat per l'aigua de la síquia de Coanegra (s'Estaió Llarg i s'Estaió Redó), una tanca de mandarins (sa Tanca des Mandarins), conradissos, amb era de batre, olivar amb tafona (la tafona, avui desapareguda, estava situada devora les cases de Son Roig) i alzinar.

The measurement of quality of life is an intensely personal question. Emotional or social aspects vary between individuals and make us fascinating in our differences. In contrast, physical aspects of well-being are more standardised and ubiquitous. The ability to walk, run, jump, and exercise are all things that are likely to have a positive influence on your quality of life. With over 6.5m1 of the UK workforce suffering from some form of musculoskeletal ailment, it is expected that quality of life scores are affected accordingly.
Good posture does more than allow you to walk around the room with the Oxford Dictionary balanced on your head. Correct alignment allows stress to be suitably distributed to the intended muscles and ligaments.
This enables the muscles to work efficiently without placing excessive force on the joints reducing the risk of injury and degenerative arthritis. In contrast, the effects of improper posture can be debilitating and include headaches, jaw pain, diminished lung function, gastrointestinal distress, fatigue, elevated blood pressure as well as soreness and pain.
Detailed below are some exercises you can do at work and home to loosen those tight muscles and help correct your imbalances.
In a standing position, breathe in and lift your shoulders towards your ears. Exhale and draw your shoulders back and down, coaxing your shoulder blades together.
In a standing position, clasp your fingers together behind your tail bone and push your hands together and down. Simultaneously broaden your chest and fronts of the shoulders. If it's hard for your hands to meet, hold a face towel in your hands to reduce the distance.
Lie on your stomach and bring your legs together. Place your hands underneath your shoulders on the floor. Squeeze your elbows against your ribs as you roll your head, collar bones and chest up off the floor.
Start this exercise on your hands and knees with your back straight. Lift and extend your left arm while you extend your right leg straight back behind you. Hold for 20-30 seconds. Lower arm and leg back to the floor and extend the opposite arm and leg. Keep your arm and leg straight and in one line with your body.
Your stance is key. The best thing you can do to alleviate your muscular woes is to move more. Maintaining a good posture will also project a confident and affable persona and make you feel better about yourself. It's time to straighten-up, you'll be amazed to see how the quality of your life can improve.

Chukwu said that the Super Eagles showed "who we are and what we are really made of as Nigerians — a hard fighting people.
"Moses and Musa are the kings of the Nigeria vs Iceland game as they displayed mastery today.
"Musa has made our day today and lifted our spirits high,'' he said.
Chukwu, a former captain of the Super Eagles, urged Nigerians to celebrate the victory.
He, however, cautioned that Nigeria's match against Argentina was crucial but expressed optimism that the Super Eagles would be victorious.
"I personally believe that the Super Eagles have all it takes to beat the Argentine team.
In Calabar, a journalist, Mr David Odey, the performance as 'spectacular', saying that it had rekindled the hope of the team.
He said that the team would go far in the tournament if they replicated the same performance against the Argentina.
"The coach needs to get his acts right by picking the players that will be able to defeat Argentina and progress to the knockout stage of the tournament," he said.
Similarly, Mrs Janet Okon, a civil servant, congratulated the Super Eagles for the victory.
Okon said that the victory had wiped away the tears of many Nigerians from the previous loss against Croatia.
"It was a wonderful performance. You can see the unity and oneness among Nigerians worldwide.
"I can tell you now that every Nigerian is excited with this defeat against Iceland," she said.
Also reacting, student, Mr Paul Abang, predicted that the Super Eagles would beat Argentina if only they improved on their standard of play.
In Uyo, Aniefiok Udonquak, Chairman Correspondents Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists in Akwa Ibom, noted that the Super Eagles played with vigour and determination in the second half of the Nigeria vs Iceland match.
"The confidence exhibited in the second half gave the Super Eagles the deserving victory.
He said the Uyo fans hoped that the Super Eagles would continue with the spirit of doggedness in the next match against Argentina on Tuesday.
Also speaking, a football lover and analyst, Inemesit Akpan-Nsoh, said that the Super Eagles victory against Iceland would silence critics, who did not expect the boys to score any goal in the tournament.
He urged the Super Eagles replicate to duplicate the same zeal and stamina in their subsequent match.
"I am optimistic that with today's victory, Nigeria will get to the round of 16 in the 2018 World Cup.
"Nigerians must be optimistic and pray for the success of the team in the next match," Akpan-Nsoh said.

Q: Prove that the Diophantine equation has only one solution for $a,b,c$. Prove that the Diophantine equation
$\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c}=1$
has only one solution for positive integers $a,b,c$   with $a<b<c$

A: there must be a number smaller than $3$ since there is going to be a number larger than $3$. So $a=2$. we now want $\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c}=\frac{1}{2}$ with $b$ and $c$ larger than $2$. If we take $\frac{1}{4}$ we need to repeat it, so we need a number larger than $\frac{1}{4}$, this forces us to take $\frac{1}{3}$.

A: Hint:
$$1\geq\frac{1}{a}>\frac{1}{b}>\frac{1}{c}$$ so , $$\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c}<\frac{3}{a}$$.
If $a>3$ the sum is less than $1$.
Check the cases $a=2$ , $a=1$.

Charles Kennedy, 1959-2015
Posted by David Hurds | Updated 2015-06-02
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of former leader of the Liberal Democrats, and MP for 32 years, Charles Kennedy.
We are deeply saddened to note the death of former leader of the party, Charles Kennedy. Many saw him as a respected leader, politician and humanitarian, across the political spectrum and outside of it. He led the Liberal Democrats to our party's greatest electoral successes and showed immense courage when standing up against injustice, most notably when his spoke for the country agains the invasion of Iraq.
Following the end of his 32-year career as an MP, he wrote the following article on LibDemVoice:
"I am very fond of political history. If nothing else, we can all reflect on and perhaps tell our grandchildren that we were there on "The night of long sgian dubhs!"
I would very much like to thank my home team. They have been so energetic, dedicated and selfless to the task. Indeed, with them, I would like to thank the very many over the years who have made possible the previous seven successful general election campaigns locally.
I spare a thought for, and this is true of so many constituencies, for members of staff. It is one thing for elected representatives to find themselves at the mercy of the electorate; it is quite something else for the other loyal and skilled people who, sadly, will in due course be searching for employment. I wish them well and stand ready to help. I am sure that their professionalism will stand them in good stead.
It has been the greatest privilege of my adult and public life to have served, for 32 years, as the Member of Parliament for our local Highlands and Islands communities. I would particularly like to thank the generation of voters, and then some, who have put their trust in me to carry out that role and its responsibilities.
Locally, I wish my successor the very best. The next House of Commons will have to finalise the Smith Commission package, giving effect to the referendum "Vow" over further powers. I am saddened not to be involved in that process.
However, from the perspective of the Highlands & Islands, the case for more powers being returned to us which have been lost to the Central Belt over the past five years, has to be heard as well.
On the national picture, I am indeed sorry to learn of Nick's decision but respect entirely his characteristic sense of personal, political and party principle.
The eligible candidates must reflect with care and collectively before we rush into the best way forward – out of this political debris we must build with thought and care.
Nick, I do hope, will be able to contribute with gusto to the great European debate which is now looming.
It is one, as a Liberal Democrat, in which I wish to be actively engaged myself.
The next few years in politics will come down to a tale of two Unions – the UK and the EU. Despite all the difficult challenges ahead the Liberal Democrat voice must and will be heard.
We did so over Iraq; we can do so again. Let us relish the prospect."
Commenting on his death, Nick Clegg has said: "He always remained modest about his huge achievements. Whenever I asked him for advice, he was unfailingly kind and wise. Most of all, I will never forget the pride and love with which he would talk about his own family, most especially his devotion to his son Donald. My heart goes out to his sister and brother and to Sarah and Donald at this tragic time."
The Liberal Democrats, and many more outside the party, will never forget him. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and many political and non-political colleagues today.


For 40 years, Michael Myers has stalked and slashed his way through multiple chapters of the Halloween franchise, with the motivation behind his murders always tying back to a familial connection. The upcoming sequel is set to turn that mythology on its head, as the trailer for the new film confirms that Myers is not Laurie Strode's brother.
At one point in the new trailer, Laurie Strode's granddaughter, played by Andi Matichak, explains how her life has been impacted by Michael's reign of terror 40 years earlier. When a friend hints that they heard Michael was Laurie's brother, Matichak's character replies, "No, it was not her brother, that was something people made up."
In 1978's Halloween, Myers killed his sister on Halloween night and escaped from a mental facility 15 years later to return to his home of Haddonfield, Illinois. Throughout the film, audiences are wondering what motivated the killer, with an answer to the mystery never emerging by the time the credits rolled.
The film's sequel picked up right where the original left off, as Michael pursued Laurie, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, to the hospital where she was taken after her horrific ordeal. It was in this second film that the mythology of Michael being Laurie's long-lost brother and his intentions to kill his bloodline was revealed, which motivated many of the film's sequels.
Halloween III: Season of the Witch abandoned Michael Myers entirely, focusing instead on a tale of a twisted mask manufacturer creating costumes that would ultimately kill children on Halloween night. With fans disappointed that the familiar killer was absent, the fourth film reintroduced the family connection, though it now extended to Laurie's daughter, who was also the target in the fifth film.
This narrative continued in all future storylines, including the reappearance of Curtis as Strode, which negated the events of previous films. The upcoming film will once again wipe the slate clean, opening the door for new motivations for the killer.
Director of the original Halloween John Carpenter serves as executive producer on this year's film, which is his first direct involvement in the franchise since helping craft the score for Halloween III. Carpenter has been vocal about his disinterest in the series' sequels, though he's at fault for creating the bloodline mythology.
"All of my ideas were for the first Halloween – there shouldn't have been any more!" Carpenter previously shared with Deadline. "I'm flattered by the fact that people want to remake them, but they remake everything these days, so it doesn't make me that special. But Michael Myers was an absence of character. And yet all the sequels are trying to explain that."
"I had to write the second movie," he added, "and every night I sat there and wrote with a six pack of beer trying to get through this thing. And I didn't do a very good job, but that was it. I couldn't do any more."
The new Halloween opens in theaters on October 19th.

I have been studying Soul Reaver for quite a long time, and three years ago I posted a beta vs retail screenshot comparison on my blog. However, I didn't include any details or observations in a coherent written form. Recently, Ben Lincoln asked me to write an article for The Lost Words and we thought it would be great to share the knowledge about the betas with other LOK fans in an article. This new comparison analysis includes higher quality images than the original one and lots of new info, which took me about two weeks to compile and write down.
Out of all five Legacy of Kain games, why did I choose Soul Reaver? Even before its release, the game fascinated me with its new and fresh ideas - deep story about vampires, no loading times, shifting between realms, incredible architecture, fun close range combat, great graphics, exploring the decaying world, atmospheric music and precise controls. It became my favourite game not only out of LOK games but also in general. Ever since I have started to read about the interesting findings concerning the deleted Soul Reaver content posted by Ben on TLW, I was intrigued by its depth even more. The amount of effort that went into this game is truly felt in each area. I hope you will regard this article as homage to this great game, which still remains in our memories after all those years.
I have tried to research each area of the game as in-depth as possible and I hope you will find this article interesting in understanding of the changes that Soul Reaver underwent during its development. I also included my personal notes and ideas after some paragraphs, but please note that they are just my interpretation and might not represent the true intentions of the developers.

Tim McGraw Talks About His New Movie, "The Shack," Writing a Song With Faith Hill & Their Upcoming Soul2Soul Tour
by Lisa Konicki | @LisaKon127 | February 28, 2017
Tim McGraw was up bright and early this morning (Feb. 28) to visit the set of Good Morning America and promote his new movie, The Shack, which opens nationwide on Friday, March 3.
The Louisiana native, whose acting credits included Friday Night Lights, The Blindside and Tomorrowland, co-stars in The Shack, which is based on the New York Times best-selling novel by William Paul Young.
Tim was also tapped, with the help of wife Faith Hill, Lori McKenna and Shane McAnally, to write a song—"Keep Your Eyes on Me"—for the movie's soundtrack.
"I saw a really early version of the movie," Tim told host Robin Roberts. "Shane McAnally, Lori McKenna, Faith and I watched the movie to try to figure out the song idea. So we were writing songs and writing ideas on notepads, in the middle of crying throughout the whole thing. At the end of the movie, we went in a room and we sort of sit down and discuss what we wanted to write and we all had the same note right at the top—'keep your eyes on me'—because it was a line out of the film. We went back to our house about a week later and wrote the song, 'Keep Your Eyes on Me.' It's the first time Faith and I had ever written a song we recorded."
The Shack tells the story of Mack Phillips [Sam Worthington] whose daughter is thought to be kidnapped and murdered, which sends Mack into a deep depression. Mack later receives a mysterious letter from Papa—his wife's nickname for God— which leads him to an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. At the shack, Mack encounters a trio of strangers led by Papa [Octavia Spencer], who helps him through this tragedy and changes his life.
Tim also talked about being on the road for his upcoming Soul2Soul Tour with Faith, which kicks off April 7 in New Orleans. "I just do what she says, man," Tim says.
Watch Tim talk about his Grammy-winning hit, "Humble & Kind," The Shack and Soul2Soul Tour.

Florida Latest News Local Sports
Florida Gators LB Mohamoud Diabate Transferring To Utah – CalBearsMaven
Florida Gators linebacker Mohamoud Diabate has made a decision on where he will finish out his college football career, announcing his intentions to go to Utah.
A rising senior, Florida Gators linebacker Mohamoud Diabate is set to transfer to Utah to finish out his college football career. After starting 17 games for the Gators over three years, appearing in 37, Diabate announced his intentions to transfer to Utah on social media on Tuesday evening.
Last month, Diabate made headlines due to his decision to transfer out of the Florida football program amid a massive coaching overhaul, with Dan Mullen exiting stage left and Billy Napier entering as the team's head coach.
At 6-foot-3, 227 pounds, Diabate has played a variety of roles for Florida, including off-ball linebacker over the past couple of seasons. He has tallied 170 total tackles, including 70 solo tackles over the past three years. He also has tallied 5.5 sacks and 10.5 tackles for loss.
While he has not been used as a pass rusher very often, he has shown plenty of ability in the past to do so, and it should be expected for him to take on a similar role with Utah moving forward.
For Florida, Diabate becomes the fourth player to officially transfer out of the program joining defensive end Khris Bogle (Michigan State), wide receiver Jacob Copeland (Maryland) and offensive tackle Gerald Mincey (Tennessee) in recent weeks. Gators QB Emory Jones also reportedly plans to enter the transfer portal but has yet to officially do so or announce his intentions to join another program at this time.
Diabate will face off against his former team, the Gators, in Week 1 of the 2022 season, returning to The Swamp for his first matchup with his new team.
Stay tuned to AllGators for continuous coverage of Florida Gators football, basketball and recruiting. Follow along on social media at @SI_AllGators on Twitter and Florida Gators on Sports Illustrated on Facebook.

"Virtually all" proposed UK climate actions to 2050 could dramatically cut air pollution - BreatheLife2030
Breathe Life
Network Updates / United Kingdom / 2020-07-07
"Virtually all" proposed UK climate actions to 2050 could dramatically cut air pollution:
UK's journey to its net zero greenhouse gas emissions target could drastically improve air quality, if policymakers handle technological transitions and new hazards carefully
The United Kingdom's journey towards its climate change commitment of net zero emissions by 2050 is also expected to cut air pollution in almost every sector, including transport, electricity generation, and agriculture.
That's the conclusion of a report released late last month by the country's Air Quality Expert Group of the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), which looked at the possible air quality implications of 47 individual actions proposed by the Committee on Climate Change that support a trajectory towards the net zero target.
It found that "virtually all" of these, across 15 different emissions sectors, from agriculture and land use to waste, could bring dramatically improved air quality outcomes — but the devil is in the detail.
It was critical that policymakers paid attention to the "how" of deployment of new technologies and management of novel hazards, as much as they did to the "what".
Making road and rail transport fleets emissions-free is expected to lead to early and "very significant" air quality gains by reducing nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds in cities.
"During the COVID-19 crisis we've seen that having fewer petrol and diesel engines on the roads has dramatically reduced nitrogen dioxide levels in cities around the country. If the national fleet was converted to electric, we would expect to see similar improvements," said Professor Alastair Lewis from the National Centre for Atmospheric Science and University of York, who chairs the Air Quality Expert Group.
"Air pollution has a complicated range of sources though, and there is no guarantee that all types of pollution will fall together. For example, electric vehicles will still create particle pollution from road surface abrasion and brake wear. Because of that, walking, cycling and public transport remain the cleanest options for transitioning to net zero emissions," Professor Lewis said.
"Likewise, widespread improvements in energy efficiency in buildings should reduce the demand for space heating, but the health benefits are only fully realised if constructors choose materials that do not adversely affect indoor air quality," he said.
The proposed actions were expected to lead to some "immediate improvements in certain primary air quality parameters", but would reap major reductions in secondary pollutants (such as particulate matter and ground-level ozone, formed from the reactions of methane, volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides) "towards the end" of the transition to net zero emissions.
Significant overlaps exist when it comes to the sources of air pollutants linked to myriad negative impacts on the human body from short- to long-term exposure and of greenhouse gases that cause atmospheric warming (though some emission, a number of short-lived climate pollutants, such as black carbon and ground-level ozone, do both).
The researchers expect that concentrations of air pollutants typically co-emitted with carbon dioxide during fossil fuel combustion, such as nitrogen oxides, black carbon, polycyclic aromatic compounds and carbon monoxide, are likely to fall significantly as fossil fuel use drops.
Just over a year ago, the UK government declared the current target of net zero emissions by 2050, more stringent than its previous target of 80 per cent reduction from 1990 levels and one of the most ambitious in the world.
According to the UK government, air pollution is the biggest environmental threat to health in the country, where long-term exposure to air pollutants account for anywhere between 28,000 and 36,000 deaths a year.
