The two Lines of equal latitude and longitude join places on Earth whose coordinates of latitude and longitude are numerically equal.
One line proceeds from the South Pole in a generally northeasterly direction crossing the equator at the Prime meridian and proceeding to the east of that meridian to the North Pole; the other proceeds from the South Pole in a generally northwesterly direction crossing the former at the equator and thence to the North Pole.
The two lines form a figure 8 on the surface of the Earth, bisected by the Prime meridian and the Equator.
The northeasterly line passes across Antarctica, the Southern and Atlantic Oceans, the equator and reaches land at Nigeria on the west coast of Africa at approximately . After crossing Nigeria, it crosses Chad, southeastern Libya, Egypt, the eastern Mediterranean Sea, touches northwest Syria, crosses Turkey, Georgia, southern Russia, the west of Kazakhstan, and Russia until it reaches the Arctic Ocean at the extreme north of the Yamal Peninsula. From there it continues to the North Pole.
The northwesterly line proceeds via Antarctica, the Southern and Indian Oceans making landfall on South Africa's east coast. It crosses South Africa, northeast Lesotho, South Africa again, Botswana, Namibia and Angola to the Atlantic Ocean. It crosses the equator, the West Africa countries of Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Senegal and Mauritania, the North Atlantic and does not reach land again until Baffin Island (Canada). It then proceeds via Ellesmere Island and the Arctic Ocean to the North Pole.
Nineteen countries (and Antarctica) have points of equal latitude and longitude within their boundaries; thirteen in Africa, five in Asia, and Canada in North America.
There are nineteen points on international land borders with equal latitude and longitude, including three on the Syria—Turkey border and three on the Côte d'Ivoire—Guinea border.
Outside the Antarctic and Arctic regions there are nine points on coastlines, including three on the Syria coast. Only at Hibberdene, South Africa does such a point coincide with a coastal town.
The lines have an arbitrary nature due to the arbitrary position of the Prime meridian which passes through the Greenwich Observatory.

Aurore Bonso Mwa MUDIAYI BUKASSA (born 15 January 1983) is an artist and author from Brussels, Belgium.
She wrote the novel Nding and Ndong in 2004.
She is also a journalist for Radio Judaïca in Brussels, Belgium. She's very concerned by the Middle East conflict. In 2003, she wrote an essay : " Dans la presse écrite, quelle est l'influence de la syntaxe, des mots sur la compréhension du lecteur?" (Aurore Mudiayi Bukassa, ). In this study, she shows how the Israeli, occidental and Arabic media talked about the death of Cheikh Yassine.

Velvet Elvis: Repainting The Christian Faith (ISBN 031026345X) is a Christian book by Rob Bell, pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church.
The title is inspired by a Velvet Elvis picture of Elvis Presley that Bell has in his garage. The purpose of the book is to reanalyze the Bible through a different lens.
Bell believes that God has spoken, and that what follows is an ongoing dialogue. "We must keep reforming the way Christian faith is defined, lived and explained", Bell says in the foreword, entitled "Welcome to my Velvet Elvis".
Bell addresses Christian conventions and society's perception of them. He talks about labels and compares the scripture to other religions of the day, over 2000 years ago. He says, "Our purpose is to increase the shalom in this world, which is why approaches to the Christian faith that deal solely with not sinning always fail."
He speaks about his church, Mars Hill, and the overwhelming growth it experienced as his message spread.
The graphics and tone of the book, and much of Rob Bell's work, can be considered very modern by some. Bell uses analogies throughout like surfing and jumping on a trampoline, and he speaks at one point about attending a concert of the rock band U2.

Kin-Kon-Kan is a binary-determination logic puzzle published by Nikoli. It first appeared in Puzzle Communication Nikoli vol. 105.
Rules
Kin-Kon-Kan is played on a rectangular grid, usually of equal height and width, in which some borders are shaded darker to form rooms. Around the edge of the grid are various alpha-numeric combinations, such as A1 or D2. Each combination appears exactly twice.
The puzzle treats the letter-number combinations as two ends of a laser. The player must place "mirrors" in the grid at 45-degree angles such that each end of the laser connects with its corresponding opposite end (D2 to D2, etc.) The mirrors are considered reflective on both sides, although it is not necessarily true that a laser will bounce off both sides. Each room must contain exactly one mirror - no more or less. The number in the letter-number combination denotes the number of mirrors the laser will bounce off.
Solution methods
Once lower numbered combinations are determined, their pathways must be clear, which limits the number of available cells in other rooms. Some mirror placements would instantly send a light beam off the grid, and can be easily eliminated. Once a cell in a room is determined to contain a mirror, it is also known that no other cell in that room can contain a mirror.
