The Games That Defined Our Childhoods Were All Made By The Same Company
By Matt | Jun 09, 2017
Formed in Twincross, Leicestershire in 1985, Rare is a company that you've definitely heard of. Starting off developing games for the ZX Spectrum computer, the company eventually entered into a deal with Nintendo, who they developed exclusively for into the early 2000s.
Having since been acquired by Microsoft and having a lot of their original staff leave the company, Rare still remains beloved by gamers worldwide. Here's just a few of the reasons why.
Battletoads (NES, 1991)
Game Oldies
The game that defines the term "Nintendo Hard," Battletoads has remained a favorite of early multiplayer games. With a cast of lovable Ninja Turtles ripoffs and lots of colorful levels to beat monsters up in, the game is still fun despite its often frustrating difficulty. Just prepare yourself for the jet ski level.
Seriously, it's rough. GameFAQs
The Donkey Kong Country Franchise (SNES, 1994 - 1996)
Moby Games
The first major appearance of the titular giant ape since the arcade days, Rare took what was a simple arcade score-chaser and turned it into one of the most beloved platformer franchises in the history of video games.
So much fun! SA Gamer
Thanks to its then-revolutionary graphics, amazing music by composer David Wise, and tons of secrets and challenges to find, the Donkey Kong Country franchise even continues on to this day, helmed by a different studio since Rare was bought by Microsoft. Their accomplishments manage to transcend their contracts!
Still great even today. Moby Games
Killer Instinct (Arcade/SNES, 1994 - 1995)
During a time when fighting games were booming thanks to series like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, Rare created their own unique take on the genre. More focused on combos than Fatalities or special movies (though it had those too), Killer Instinct remained an arcade staple for some time.
Where else can you see a lava man fight a ninja? Games That I Play
It eventually received a mediocre sequel and a full on remake by another studio in 2013, but people who grew up on 90s video games will always prefer the original. Anyone else remember getting beat senseless by Spinal's teleport combos? 'Cause I sure do.
I hate you, Spinal. giphy

Goldeneye 007 (N64, 1997)
If you grew up with a Nintendo 64, you have played this game at some point in your life (or more realistically, you sunk dozens of hours into this game during your childhood). Released as a tie-in to the movie of the same name, Rare's take on James Bond came to define what a first-person shooter, a type of game typically exclusive to PCs, could truly be on a console.
We loved the game's single-player mode, which took place across all the most memorable locations and scenes from the movie, but what really made the game special was its massive 4-player multiplayer mode (which, fun fact, was never intended to be in the game; the developers added it in for fun three weeks before it was due to be shipped). There was nothing like getting a few friends around your TV and shooting each other senseless, all while screaming at that one jerk who picked Oddjob.
This guy was the actual worst. Youtube
Diddy Kong Racing (N64, 1997)
When Mario Kart 64 came out the year before and started a whole new wave of racing games, Rare decided to take everything that was great about the cartoony mascot racer and make it even bigger. The result was Diddy Kong Racing, the most underrated racer on the system.
So much color! GameFAQs
Taking the colorful locations and cool items of its predecessor, Diddy Kong Racing added in a full-fledged story mode on top of it, with lots of cool hidden goodies and even boss races (that were frustratingly hard). Add in the fact that you could race on hovercrafts and airplanes in addition to just cars, and this was a game that seemed to do it all!
We still love it today. GameFAQs
Banjo-Kazooie/Banjo-Tooie (N64, 1998 - 2000)
Don 3D
Taking the formula 3D platformers laid out by Super Mario 64 and making it even bigger (notice a pattern here?), the Banjo series is considered by many to be their favorite of everything Rare made.
The story of a bear and a bird who have to save the world from an evil witch, these two games took players to amazingly colorful and varied worlds. They came complete with tons of stuff to collect, lots of hilarious and memorable characters, and awesome music that we can all still hum today. Let's also not forget the hilarious commercials!
We could go on and on about how great their games are (I mean there's still Donkey Kong 64, Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and Viva Pinata just to name a few), but the point is, Rare will always have a nostalgic place in the heart of everyone who grew up with 90s video games.
If you remember 90s video games, take a look at this list of Mario characters who are jerks.

Universal Studios Has Apparently Started Building The Nintendo Park And We're Screaming
By Tanya a year ago
While it's been known since 2015 that Nintendo was teaming up with Universal to create a park that would give all of us a chance to explore our dream worlds, it's been a long time before we got any news. But now, three years later, Universal has finally started building. I know, I'm screaming too. The best thing about this park is that while the first one is getting built in Japan, they aren't stopping at one. The Nintendo theme park will be coming to both Orlando AND Hollywood. That means we don't have to take these huge international trips

Your Favorite 'Mario Kart 64' Character Reveals The Truth About Your Personality
Playing Mario Kart was one of the most important things that you could do as a child. It was how you were going to develop that mental acuity needed in your day-to-day life. Sure, you could learn some things at school, but Mario Kart taught us problem solving in ways that were actually fun. You learned how to wait until someone was going over the big jump in Wario's Stadium before you used your lightning power, you learned where the glitches and cheats were, and most importantly, you developed a bond with one of the characters.Anyone who has played
Sony Is Bringing Back The Original PlayStation Just In Time For Christmas
It can't be easy to try and create a video game platform, especially one that people will continue coming back to for years. While we know people have gone completely bonkers over the Nintendo and Super Nintendo rereleases, apparently other old gaming systems have been keen to follow up. After a few years of watching their competition dominate the market, Sony has now decided to step into the ring and bring back their very first PlayStation console. PlayStation was first released in 1994, making it 23 years old this year. Thanks to games like Driver, Spyro the Dragon, and Twisted

Shadow Minister for Sport and Recreation Corey Wingard will this week introduce legislation to stamp out the predatory behavior that leads to ridiculous ticket prices for major events and denies many people the opportunity to attend events by creating $100,000 penalty for organised scalping.
"With the Ashes Test Match at Adelaide Oval fast approaching and a busy schedule of Big Bash cricket and other concerts and events, we need to act now to stamp out ticket scalping in South Australia," said Shadow Minister for Sport, Recreation and Racing Corey Wingard.
"The Weatherill Government has completely failed to protect South Australian sports fans and event goers from scalpers, so the State Liberals are taking the lead to strengthen ticket scalping laws.
"We will legislate to stop the resale of any sport or entertainment tickets above the original face value plus 10 per cent, which currently only occurs if an event is declared a Major Event under SA's Major Events Act.
"Unlike Labor's hands-off approach, we will also legislate to stop ticket bots, where software is used to bypass security measures of ticketing websites.
"We will work with industry participants such as the AFL, Cricket Australia, Adelaide Oval and the SACA to give them the ability to seek court injunctions against scalpers using ticket bots.
Under the Liberal proposal individuals caught scalping tickets would face a maximum fine of $20,000 and organisations involved with scalping would face a maximum fine of $100,000.
The New South Wales Government has recently introduced a reform package which includes protection for consumers against ticket scalpers who gouge profits by using technology to buy tickets to concerts and sporting events.
These reforms have been supported by consumer group Choice, with the State Liberals' legislation to mirror the New South Wales legislation.

Q: Question about universal property of the localization I have this doubt, that arise quite often when I work with localizations. Let $S\subset A$ be a multiplicatively closed set of a ring, and let $i:A\to S^{-1}A$ be the canonical homomorphism. Suppose that the ring homomorphism $f:A\to B$ induces a homomorphism $f':S^{-1}A\to B$ by the universal property of the localization. In general, to uniquely determine a homomorphism, it suffices to know how it is defined on the underlying set of its domain; however here the underlying set of $S^{-1}A$ is a set modulo an equivalence relation, say $X/\sim$. The fact that $f=f'\circ i$ tells me how $f'$ is necessarily defined on $X$ (uniqueness); since an homomorphism $S^{-1}A\to B$ must exist, can I conclude that $f'$ (that until now was a map $X\to B$) induces actually a well defined homomorphism $S^{-1}A\to B$, without making any check? Or a similar situation is that I define from nowhere a map $g:X\to B$, and it is such that $g\circ i=f$; can I conclude that $g$ is the unique homomorphism induced? (This seems the case of the second link below).
For example, I had this doubt in this question (Isomorphism between localizations), where I already made it explicit; also in the answer to this question (Induced map between localizations), it was proven that $\varphi$ is well defined, but not a homomorphism. Can you give me a clarification about this? Thanks in advance

A: Your interpretation of $S^{-1}A$ as equivalence classes is an artifact of your construction. The universal property guarantees that the $f'$ is well-defined on the equivalence classes.
In more detail, if $f\colon A\to B$ is such that for each $s\in A$ there exists $b_s\in B$ such that $f(s)b_s=1$, then we have a unique ring homomorphism $A\{x_s:s\in S\}\to B$ generated by $x_s\mapsto b_s$ and $a\mapsto f(a)$, where $A\{x_s:s\in S\}$ is the free ring expressions in variables $x_s$ with coefficients in $A$. Note that $f\colon A\to B$ factors through this ring homomorphism as $A\to A\{x_s:s\in S\}\to B$, where $A\to A\{x_s:s\in S\}$ sends $a\mapsto a1$.
The kernel of the ring homomorphism $A\{x_s:s\in S\}\to B$ includes the ideal generated by $\langle sx_s-1\rangle$. In fact, it is precisely that ideal, as the image of each $s\in A$ under the resulting quotient satisfies $sx_s=1$. But the ring homomorphisms $A\{x_s:s\in S\}\to B$ factors uniquely through the quotient by its kernel, whence its quotient is $S^{-1}A$ with $i\colon A\to A\{x_s:s\in S\}\to S^{-1}A$ and $f$ factoring uniquely as $f'i$ for $f'\colon S^{-1}A\to B$.
Notice that $f'$ is already defined (and a ring homomorphism) on the quotient, so on the set of equivalence classes that you're considering. In particular, you don't need to check it's well-defined again.

A: The universal property of localization is the following: Given some multiplicatively closed set $S\subset A$, then for any ring homomorphism $f:A\to B$, s.t. $f(S)\subset B^\times$ there is a unique ring homomorphism $f':S^{-1}A\to B$ s.t. $f' \circ i=f$. That this holds true needs a proof. So once you check that this property holds, i.e. check that $f'$ is a ring homomorphism, check that $f' \circ i=f$ and so on.
The uniqueness bit is quite easy to see. Suppose $g:S^{-1}A\to B$ is some ring homomorphism s.t. $g\circ i=f$, then
$$ g(\frac{a}{s})=g(\frac{a}{1}\cdot\frac{1}{s})=g(i(a))\cdot g(\frac{s}{1})^{-1}=g(i(a))\cdot g(i(s))^{-1}=f(a)\cdot f(s)^{-1},\quad \forall a\in A,s\in S,$$
so $g$ is unqiue.

I am a contemporary artist selling through several galleries around London and Kent. All my work is inspired by music and the paintings are often created listening to a single track on repeat. Obviously with my passion for Bowie's music his songs feature significantly in my work.
I also have my own website @ www.modernartuk.com and I would be more than happy to consider individual commissions inspired by favourite Bowie tracks.
As a self-taught artist I am influenced by the works of Pollock, Piccaso and Warhol and the work I create is inspired by my passion and enthusiasm for modern abstract imagery and design.
Born in 1958 into a working class neighbourhood, my father was a well-known painter and decorator from London's East-End and my mother, an eccentric Glaswegian.
Life at home was always interesting and it was there that I first picked up a paintbrush - usually to help finish a door or window frame!
For many years I had done little to further my artistic aspirations however an outstanding level of interest in my recent work and a successful 'one-man' exhibition in 2001 has inspired me to continue.
Some have described me as a 'garage' artist as my work is created exclusively with household gloss, emulsion or enamel spray paints. The result is a collection of paintings which I believe are original, exciting and totally unique.


This item is absolutely very cool!! Detail is amazing for its size. Came with validation card in a small velour pouch and polishing cloth. Attached it to my Horkos which I purchased as well. Wasn't going to by the broken helmet but these beads are just too cool to pass up and they really add a level of uniqueness to the Spartan knives. I highly recommend them with your knife purchase.

Archbishop Jose H. Gomez of Los Angeles, vice president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops which outlined new abuse reporting procedures and a code of conduct.Catholic News Service
U.S. bishops outline plan of action in shadow of abuse crisis
USCCB adopts third-party abuse reporting, plans code of conduct
By Julie Asher, Canadian Catholic News
Pledging to "heal and protect with every bit of the strength God provides us," the U.S. bishops' Administrative Committee outlined actions to address the abuse crisis, including approving the establishment of a third-party confidential reporting system for claims of any abuse by bishops.
It also instructed the U.S. bishops' canonical affairs committee to develop proposals for policies addressing restrictions on bishops who were removed or resigned because of allegations of abuse of minors or adults.
It initiated the process of developing a code of conduct for bishops regarding sexual misconduct with a minor or adult or "negligence in the exercise of his office related to such cases."
The committee also said it supported "a full investigation into the situation" surrounding Archbishop Theodore E. McCarrick, former cardinal-archbishop of Washington, "including his alleged assaults on minors, priests and seminarians, as well as "any responses made to those allegations."
The statement, released by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, came out of the committee's semiannual meeting held Sept. 11-12 at USCCB headquarters in Washington.
The Administrative Committee consists of the officers, chairmen and regional representatives of the USCCB. The committee, which meets in March and September, is the highest authority of the USCCB outside of the full body of bishops when they meet for their fall and spring general assemblies.
"This is only a beginning," the committee said in its Sept. 19 statement.
"Consultation with a broad range of concerned parents, experts and other laity along with clergy and religious will yield additional, specific measures to be taken to repair the scandal and restore justice.
"We humbly welcome and are grateful for the assistance of the whole people of God in holding us accountable," the committee said.
The committee acknowledged its members had assembled for their meeting in Washington at a "time of shame and sorrow."
"Some bishops, by their actions or their failures to act, have caused great harm to both individuals and the church as a whole," the committee said. "They have used their authority and power to manipulate and sexually abuse others.
"They have allowed the fear of scandal to replace genuine concern and care for those who have been victimized by abusers," it continued. "For this, we again ask forgiveness from both the Lord and those who have been harmed. Turning to the Lord for strength, we must and will do better."
Full descriptions of the actions the committee took are as follows:
— Approved the establishment of a third-party reporting system that will receive confidentially, by phone and online, complaints of sexual abuse of minors by a bishop and sexual harassment of or sexual misconduct with adults by a bishop. It will direct those complaints to the appropriate ecclesiastical authority and, as required by applicable law, to civil authorities.
— Instructed the USCCB Committee on Canonical Affairs and Church Governance to develop proposals for policies addressing restrictions on bishops who were removed or resigned because of allegations of sexual abuse of minors or sexual harassment of or misconduct with adults, including seminarians and priests.
— Initiated the process of developing a code of conduct for bishops regarding the sexual abuse of a minor; sexual harassment of or sexual misconduct with an adult; or negligence in the exercise of his office related to such cases.
— Supported a full investigation into the situation surrounding Archbishop McCarrick, including his alleged assaults on minors, priests, and seminarians, as well any responses made to those allegations. "Such an investigation should rely upon lay experts in relevant fields, such as law enforcement and social services."
As the initiatives get underway, the Administrative Committee asked all U.S. bishops "to join us in acts of prayer and penance."
"This is a time of deep examination of conscience for each bishop. We cannot content ourselves that our response to sexual assault within the church has been sufficient. Scripture must be our guide forward. 'Be doers of the word and not hearers only,'" it said, quoting the Letter of James.
"In all of this," no one — including the bishops — can "lose sight of those who have suffered from those who have acted or failed to act as the Gospel demanded," it said.
"For survivors of sexual abuse, these days may reopen deep wounds. Support is available from the church and within the community," it emphasized.
The committee reminded all in the church that victims assistance coordinators are available in every diocese to help victim-survivors and their families find resources.
Since the bishops first adopted "the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People" in 2002, the committee said, "hundreds of dedicated people … have been working with the church to support survivors and prevent future abuse."
It said anyone who has been abused must "never hesitate to also contact local law enforcement."
"If you don't feel comfortable for any reason with the church providing help, your diocese can connect you with appropriate community services," the committee said. "With compassion and without judgment, the bishops of the United States pledge to heal and protect with every bit of the strength God provides us."
The committee concluded: "Acting in communion with the Holy Father, with whom we once again renew our love, obedience and loyalty, we make our own the prayer of Pope Francis in his Aug. 20 letter to the people of God, 'May the Holy Spirit grant us the grace of conversion and the interior anointing needed to express before these crimes of abuse our compunction and our resolve courageously to combat them.'"

A Nation Without Religion
Posted byToxic Scribe August 28, 2020 August 28, 2020 Posted inWritingsTags:atheism, book exert, dialogue, Dostoyevsky, fyodor dostoevsky, nations, religion, Russian literature
(An exert from "Demons" also titled "The Possessed", a novel written by Fyodor Dostoevsky, published `1871)
A Portrait by Ilya Yefimovich Repin (1844-1930)
"Are you an atheist? An atheist now?"
"And then?"
"Just as I was then."
"I wasn't asking you to treat me with respect when I began the conversation. With your intellect you might have understood that," Shatov muttered indignantly.
"I didn't get up at your first word, I didn't close the conversation, I didn't go away from you, but have been sitting here ever since submissively answering your questions and… cries, so it seems I have not been lacking in respect to you yet."
Shatov interrupted, waving his hand.
"Do you remember your expression that 'an atheist can't be a Russian,' that 'an atheist at once ceases to be Russian'? Do you remember saying that?"
"Did I?" Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch questioned him back.
"You ask? You've forgotten? And yet that was one of the truest statements of the leading peculiarity of the Russian soul, which you divined. You can't have forgotten it! I will remind you of something else. You said then that 'a man who was not orthodox could not be Russian.'"
"I imagine that's a Slavophil idea."
"The Slavophils of to-day disown it. Nowadays, people grown cleverer. But you went further: you believed that Roman Catholicism was not Christianity; you asserted that Rome proclaimed Christ subject to the third temptation of the devil. Announcing to all the world that Christ without an earthly kingdom cannot hold his ground upon earth, Catholicism by so doing proclaimed Antichrist and ruined the whole Western world. You pointed out that if France is in agonies now it's simply the fault of Catholicism, for she has rejected the iniquitous God of Rome and has not found a new one. That's what you could say then! I remember our conversations."
"I believed, no doubt I should repeat it even now. I wasn't lying when I spoke as though I had faith," Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch pronounced very earnestly. "But I must tell you, this repetition of my ideas in the past makes a very disagreeable impression on me. Can't you leave off?"
"If you believe it?" repeated Shatov, paying not the slightest attention to this request. "But didn't you tell me that if it were mathematically proved to you that the truth excludes Christ, you'd prefer to stick to Christ rather than to the truth? Did you say that? Did you?"
"But allow me too at last to ask a question," said Nikolay, raising his voice. "What is the object of this irritable and… malicious cross-examination?"
"This examination will be over for all eternity, and you will never hear it mentioned again."
"You keep insisting that we are outside the limits of time and space."
"Hold your tongue!" Shatov cried suddenly. "I am stupid and awkward, but let my name perish in ignominy! Let me repeat your leading idea… Oh, only a dozen lines, only the conclusion."
"Repeat it, if it's only the conclusion…"
Nikolay, made a movement to look at his watch, but restrained himself and did not look. He bent forward in his chair again, and again held up his finger for a moment.
"Not a single nation," he went on, as though reading it line by line, still gazing menacingly at Nikolay, "not a single nation has ever been founded on principles of science or reason. There has never been an example of it, except for a brief moment, through folly. Socialism is from its very nature bound to be atheism, seeing that it has from the very first proclaimed that it is an atheistic organization of society, and that it intends to establish itself exclusively on the elements of science and reason. Science and reason have, from the beginning of time, played a secondary and subordinate part in the life of nations; so it will be till the end of time. Nations are built up and gin of which is unknown and inexplicable: that force is the force of an insatiable desire to go on to the end, though at the same time it denies that end. It is the force of the persistent assertion of one's own existence, and a denial of death. It's the spirit of life, as the Scriptures call it, 'the river of living water,' the drying up of which is threatened in the Apocalypse. It's the aesthetic principle, as the philosophers call it, the ethical principle with which they identify it, 'the seeking for God,' as I call it more simply. The object of every national movement, in every people and at every period of its existence, is only the seeking for its God, who must be its own God, and the faith in Him as the only true one. God is the synthetic personality of the whole people, taken from its beginning to its end. It has never happened that all, or even many, peoples have had one common god, but each has always had its own. It's a sign of the decay of nations when they begin to have gods in common. When gods begin to be common to several nations the gods are dying and the faith in them, together with the nations themselves. The stronger a people the more individual their God. There never has been a nation without a religion, that is, without an idea of good and evil. Every people has its own conception of good and evil, and its own good and evil. When the same conceptions of good and evil become prevalent in several nations, then these nations are dying, and then the very distinction between good and evil is beginning to disappear. Reason has never had the power to define good and evil, or even to distinguish between good and evil, even approximately; on the contrary, it has always mixed them up in a disgraceful and pitiful way; science has even given the solution by the fist. This is particularly characteristic of the half-truths of science, the most terrible scourge of humanity, unknown till this century, and worse than plague, famine, or war. A half-truth is a despot … such as has never been in the world before. A despot that has its priests and its slaves, a despot to whom all do homage with love and superstition hitherto inconceivable, before which science itself trembles and cringes in a shameful way. These are your own words, Nikolay, all except that about the half-truth; that's my own because I am myself a case of half-knowledge, and that's why I hate it particularly. I haven't altered anything of your ideas or even of your words, not a syllable."
"I don't agree that you've not altered anything," Nikolay observed cautiously. "You accepted them with ardour, and in your ardour have transformed them unconsciously. The very fact that you reduce God to a simple attribute of nationality …"
He suddenly began watching Shatov with intense and peculiar attention, not so much his words as himself.
"I reduce God to the attribute of nationality?" cried Shatov. "On the contrary, I raise the people to God. And has it ever been otherwise? The people is the body of God. Every people is only a people so long as it has its own god and excludes all other gods on earth irreconcilably; so long as it believes that by its god it will conquer and drive out of the world all other gods. Such, from the beginning of time, has been the belief of all great nations, all, anyway, who have been specially remarkable, all who have been leaders of humanity. There is no going against facts. The Jews lived only to await the coming of the true God and left the world the true God. The Greeks deified nature and bequeathed the world their religion, that is, philosophy and art. Rome deified the people in the State, and bequeathed the idea of the State to the nations. France throughout her long history was only the incarnation and development of the Roman god, and if they have at last flung their Roman god into the abyss and plunged into atheism, which, for the time being, they call socialism, it is solely because socialism is, anyway, healthier than Roman Catholicism. If a great people does not believe that the truth is only to be found in itself alone (in itself alone and in it exclusively); if it does not believe that it alone is fit and destined to raise up and save all the rest by its truth, it would at once sink into being ethnographical material, and not a great people. A really great people can never accept a secondary part in the history of Humanity, nor even one of the first, but will have the first part. A nation which loses this belief ceases to be a nation. But there is only one truth, and therefore only a single one out of the nations can have the true God, even though other nations may have great gods of their own. Only one nation is 'god-bearing,' that's the Russian people, and … and … and can you think me such a fool, Nikolay," he yelled frantically all at once, "that I can't distinguish whether my words at this moment are the rotten old commonplaces that have been ground out in all the Slavophil mills in Moscow, or a perfectly new saying, the last word, the sole word of renewal and resurrection, and … and what do I care for your laughter at this minute! What do I care that you utterly, utterly fail to understand me, not a word, not a sound! Oh, how I despise your haughty laughter and your look at this minute!"
He jumped up from his seat; there was positively foam on his lips.
"On the contrary Shatov, on the contrary," Nikolay began with extraordinary earnestness and self-control, still keeping his seat, "on the contrary, your fervent words have revived many extremely powerful recollections in me. In your words I recognize my own mood two years ago, and now I will not tell you, as I did just now, that you have exaggerated my ideas. I believe, indeed, that they were even more exceptional, even more independent, and I assure you for the third time that I should be very glad to confirm all that you've said just now, every syllable of it, but …"
"But you want a hare?"
"Wh-a-t?"
"Your own nasty expression," Shatov laughed spitefully, sitting down again. "To cook your hare you must first catch it, to believe in God you must first have a god. You used to say that in Petersburg, I'm told, like Nozdryov, who tried to catch a hare by his hind legs."
"No, what he did was to boast he'd caught him. By the way, allow me to trouble you with a question though, for indeed I think I have the right to one now. Tell me, have you caught your hare?"
"Don't dare to ask me in such words! Ask differently, quite differently." Shatov suddenly began trembling all over.
"Certainly I'll ask differently." Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch looked coldly at him. "I only wanted to know, do you believe in God, yourself?"
"I believe in Russia.… I believe in her orthodoxy.… I believe in the body of Christ.… I believe that the new advent will take place in Russia.… I believe …" Shatov muttered frantically.
"And in God? In God?"
"I … I will believe in God."
Not one muscle moved in Nikolay's face. Shatov looked passionately and defiantly at him, as though he would have scorched him with his eyes.

Read Book The Small House at Allington (Chronicles of Barsetshire, #5) Online author by Anthony Trollope. Read or Download The Small House at Allington (Chronicles of Barsetshire, #5) format Paperback in 688 and Published 21-5-1981 by Oxford University Press.
The Small House at Allington (Chronicles of Barsetshire, #5) An alternate cover edition for this ISBN can be found here.
The Small House at Allington introduces Trollope's most charming heroine, the bewitching Lily Dale, onto the Barsetshire scene. She so endeared herself to readers of the Cornhill Magazine, where The Small House was first published in serial form, that Trollope was bombarded by letters begging him to marry her to her lifelong adorer Johnny Eames. Lily is the niece of Squire Dale, an embittered old bachelor entrenched in the 'Great House' at Allington. His sister-in-law lives at the adjacent 'Small House' with her two daughters Lily and Bell, and the action centres on the relations between the two houses and on the romantic entanglements of the two girls. We also meet Sir Raffle Buffle, the bullying head of a government department, the heartless Lady Dumbello, and the shallow Adolphus Crosbie, who gets his just deserts in the form of the frigid Lady Alexandrina de Courcy. Trollope's characteristic theme of the invasion of a pastoral, conservative world by brash and progressive forces from London gives him an opportunity in this novel for vivid, contrasting descriptions of gracious country living, with croquet and tea on the lawn, and of the cut and thrust of London life in the 1860s.


How old is cheese making? Five thousand years, at least, so you would think every possible technique has been tried. A cheesemaker who wants to create something original doesn't have endless options. You can play with milk blends, cultures, washes, shapes. But probably somebody else has done it first. That said, the new Bishop's Peak doesn't remind me of any other cheese I can think of.


dc.description.abstract The cold pressor task (CPT) is increasingly used to induce experimental pain in children, but the specific methodology of the CPT is quite variable across pediatric studies. This study examined how subtle variations in CPT methodology (eg. provision of low- or high-threat information regarding the task; provision or omission of maximum immersion time) may influence children's and parents' perceptions of the pain experience. Forty-eight children (8 to 14years) and their parents were randomly assigned to receive information about the CPT that varied on 2 dimensions, prior to completing the task: (i) threat level: high-threat (task described as very painful, high pain expressions depicted) or low-threat (standard CPT instructions provided, low pain expressions depicted); (ii) ceiling: informed (provided maximum immersion time) or uninformed (information about maximum immersion time omitted). Parents and children in the high-threat condition expected greater child pain, and these children reported higher perceived threat of pain and state pain catastrophizing. For children in the low-threat condition, an informed ceiling was associated with less state pain catastrophizing during the CPT. Pain intensity, tolerance, and fear during the CPT did not differ by experimental group, but were predicted by child characteristics. Findings suggest that provision of threatening information may impact anticipatory outcomes, but experienced pain was better explained by individual child variables.

Are bisphosphonates effective in the treatment of osteoarthritis pain?:A meta-analysis and systematic review
Davis, Alison J, Smith, Toby O, Hing, Caroline B and Sofat, Nidhi (2013) Are bisphosphonates effective in the treatment of osteoarthritis pain?:A meta-analysis and systematic review. PLoS One, 8 (9). ISSN 1932-6203
PDF (Davis_etal_2013_PLOSONE) - Published Version
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis worldwide. Pain and reduced function are the main symptoms in this prevalent disease. There are currently no treatments for OA that modify disease progression; therefore analgesic drugs and joint replacement for larger joints are the standard of care. In light of several recent studies reporting the use of bisphosphonates for OA treatment, our work aimed to evaluate published literature to assess the effectiveness of bisphosphonates in OA treatment.

FEMINIST FRIDAY: 2018 Human Rights Watch Film Festival Highlights Women Who Fight Back
Welcome to another Feminist Friday! That part of our week we get to geek out and fangirl over our fave feminist videos of the moment. This week all our videos come from the 2018 Human Rights Watch Film Festival, an annual film showcase shining a light on courageous activists from around the world.
This year's lineup is dominated by women's stories and work. Not only are 12 out of the 15 films directed by women, but the timely focus on how women are amplifying and using their voices for change underscores the female driven movements we are seeing across the globe right now.
"In a year when women have spoken out against abuse, harassment and oppression, the festival highlights the outstanding work of women filmmakers telling epic stories of women fighting injustice with resilience and courage." said John Biaggi, the Human Rights Watch Film Festival creative director.
The festival ran from June 14-21 in New York City, and whether you were able to attend or not, these films are worth seeking out in your local theaters or looking out for on demand. The first trailer we want to highlight is Alexandria Bombach's 'On Her Shoulders' which screened on opening night, and which also won a documentary directing award at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.
Nadia Murad is a 23-year-old lifeline to the Yezidi community. A survivor of the 2014 atrocities against the Yezidi in northern Iraq, Nadia escaped sexual slavery at the hands of the Islamic State (also known as ISIS) and witnessed the murder of those closest to her. With the love of her people propelling her forward, Nadia is determined to turn her pain into international action.
She now shoulders immense burdens as a key public figure whose supporters are pushing her further into the spotlight – from testifying at the United Nations Security Council and having endless meetings with government officials, to giving soul-baring media interviews and emotionally draining speeches. 'On Her Shoulders' tells the story of a multi-layered and selfless activist who once dreamed of opening a beauty salon in her village as she becomes an essential voice in the fight to bring ISIS to justice and save her people from extinction.
The second film we want to highlight is 'The Unafraid', by filmmakers Anayansi Prado and Heather Courtney, which explores the experience of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) students struggling to fight for their own education as they face a very uncertain future.
High School seniors Alejandro, Silvia, and Aldo, like most of their friends, are eager to go to college and pursue their education. However, their home state of Georgia not only bans them from attending the top five public universities, but also deems them ineligible for in-state tuition at public colleges due to their immigration status as DACA recipients.
In response, these three ambitious and dream-filled students divert their passions towards the fight for education in the undocumented community. As President Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric against immigrants gains momentum, and amid constant threat of losing their DACA status and being deported, 'The Unafraid' follows these inspirational members of the generation of "undocumented, unapologetic and unafraid" young people who are determined to overcome and dismantle oppressive policies and mindsets.
The final video we want to highlight is 'A Thousand Girls Like Me', from filmmaker Sahra Mani. Focusing on the issue of women's rights in Afghanistan, the film follows a young mother seeking justice from a legal system designed to criminalize sexual abuse survivors like her.
"Every woman in this country has a hundred owners. Fathers, brothers, uncles, neighbors. They all believe they have the right to speak on our behalf and make decisions for us. That's why our stories are never heard, but buried with us." said Sahra Mani.
When Khatera, a 23-year-old Afghan woman, forces her father to stand trial after a lifetime of sexual abuse, she risks her family, freedom, and personal safety to expose a judicial system that incriminates the very women who seek protection. In a country where the systematic abuse of girls is rarely discussed, Afghan filmmaker Sahra Mani presents an awe-inspiring story of one woman's battle against cultural, familial, and legal pressures as she embarks on a mission to set a positive example for her daughter and other girls like her.

Chumby Preps NeTV Internet TV Ticker - Zatz Not Funny!
"But, beyond licensing their platform, Chumby will also be rolling out their very own NeTV connected television device this fall. As Engadget points out, it's pronounced "Any TV" as this little gadget performs the nifty Google TV-esque trick in sitting between your cable box and any television. By connecting in this manner, NeTV will overlay Internet content on top of your television programming and the primary feature is an adjustable (size, location, content) ticker of Internet and/or phone-based data. Additionally, folks with Android and iPhone devices can maximize NeTV's capabilities by sharing photos or webpages from the small screen onto your presumable larger television. Like prior Chumby initiatives, NeTV is openly extensible and developers can run wild."

Keith Okie and Rebel Sol perform at the Birdcage Saturday, March 25.
Originally Published: March 23, 2017 7:47 p.m.
Growing up in California's beach scene, Keith Okie naturally gravitated to the offbeat rhythms and staccato chords of reggae music.
He remembers, as an 11-year-old, hearing classic reggae tunes from Bob Marley and others for the first time. "It struck a chord with me, and I became pretty heavy into it," Okie said.
He took up guitar at the same age, and continued his musical quest – studying music at California's Humboldt State University, and touring extensively with a rhythm and blues band during his 20s.
Ultimately, though, it was reggae that inspired Okie, 31, the most. He returned to the genre in a big way a few years back while awaiting the birth of his son, now 2 years old.
"Right around the time my son was conceived, I started getting inspired again, and I played a bunch of reggae," Okie said, noting that he had taken a break from music after becoming somewhat burned out from his previous heavy touring schedule.
Since then, they've had numerous performances throughout Arizona, as well as in southwest Colorado.
Okie, along with his Rebel Sol bandmates, will bring all of that experience and energy to Prescott this weekend with two appearances.
First, at 4 p.m. Saturday, March 25, the band will conduct a release party/album signing for Okie's new CD "LIVE!" at Trax Records, 234 Montezuma St.
Then, at 9 p.m., the action will move to the Bird Cage Saloon, 160 S. Montezuma St., for a Saturday night performance that will combine Okie's soul/reggae-inspired original tunes with covers reminiscent of performances by Bob Marley & the Wailers, Sublime, Ceelo Green, and Otis Redding.
Jeff Watson, who works as a bartender and assists with the band management at the Bird Cage, said he first heard Okie and Rebel Sol during a recent performance at Phoenix's Last Exit Live.
Watson was impressed by the band's "soulful reggae," and he suggested bringing them to the Bird Cage.
Along with Okie and Campbell, the band is made up of: drummer Stan Dulkoski, keyboard player Phil Gornick, bassist Jason Teague, percussionist Saturnin Ba, and guitarist Rick Okie (Keith's father).
The band members "hail from as close by as Cottonwood and as far away as Chicago and Ivory Coast, Africa," Rick Okie said in a description of Rebel Sol.
Watson said the band's performance is one of the Bird Cage's regular Saturday night performances. (The Whiskey Row bar has regular live music on Friday and Saturday nights, as well as summer Sundays). There is no cover charge for the performance, Watson added.

US cancels award to Egyptian activist over "anti-Semitic tweets"
The Obama administration has revoked the award it planned to give an Egyptian activist who fought against "virginity tests" on female protesters over "anti-American" and "anti-Semitic" comments on her Twitter account.
Samira Ibrahim was to have been honored Friday along with nine other women at the International Women of Courage Award hosted by top US diplomat John Kerry and First Lady Michelle Obama.
But it was revealed that Ibrahim had sent some "anti-American" and "anti-Semitic" remarks on her prolific Twitter account.
"Upon further review, the department has decided not to present her with the award," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told journalists.
She refused to comment further on the reasons why, saying only US officials "didn't consider some of the public statements that she had made appropriate. They didn't comport with our values."
The annual award marking International Women's Day pays tribute to "exceptional courage and leadership in advocating for women's rights and empowerment, often at great personal risk," according to the State Department.
On Thursday, officials had already decided to postpone the award for Ibrahim after she alleged that her account had been hacked when reports of her tweets emerged.
The right-wing Weekly Standard claimed Ibrahim had written in August: "An explosion on a bus carrying Israelis in Burgas airport in Bulgaria on the Black Sea. Today is a very sweet day with a lot of very sweet news."
She also allegedly wrote on September 11 "Today is the anniversary of 9/11. May every year come with America burning," the Standard said.
"There were obviously some problems in our review process, and we're going to do some forensics on how that happened," Nuland admitted on Friday.
Ibrahim is defending herself on Twitter, saying she didn't attack any religion. But she refuses to apologize to what she calls the "Zionist lobby in America."
Ibrahim had been initially chosen "because of the incredible bravery and courage she displayed at the time of the Tahrir Square protests," Nuland had said earlier in the week.
She had been subjected to "real police violence" which she had spoken out against and "she became a real leader in her country in trying to address gender-based violence and other human rights abuses," Nuland added.
Among those being honored are the Indian student who died after being gang-raped in a bus in Delhi in December; Tsering Woeser, a Tibetan poet and blogger; Malalai Bahaduri, a first sergeant and senior instructor with the Afghan National Interdiction Unit, and a Syrian human rights lawyer, Razan Zeitunah.

Blockstream secures $266 million CAD at $4 billion valuation to monetize the Liquid Network
With years invested in building its sidechain-based settlement network, Blockstream has raised significant funding to continue to blend the worlds of finance and industrial Bitcoin mining.
The Bitcoin infrastructure startup has raised $266 million CAD ($210 million USD), in what the company described as the first close of its Series B round. With the new funding, Blockstream has secured a $4 billion CAD ($3.2 billion USD) valuation, making it Canada's latest unicorn.
The all-equity, all-primary capital round, which closed earlier this month, was supported entirely by new Blockstream investors. The round was led by Baillie Gifford, with participation from iFinex and other undisclosed investors.
Founded in 2014, Blockstream is a blockchain technology company that builds Bitcoin infrastructure and products. The startup, which is headquartered in Victoria, has offices in Montréal (where it is incorporated), and Mountain View, California, with a remote team located around the world.
With the new funding, Blockstream has secured a $4 billion CAD valuation, making it Canada's latest unicorn.
The company's Liquid Network is a sidechain-based settlement network that Blockstream claims enables faster, more confidential Bitcoin transactions, as well as the issuance of digital assets for Bitcoin traders and exchanges. Blockstream first launched the Liquid Network in 2018; since then, it has seen "impressive ecosystem growth," amassing more than $1.1 billion in network value, according to the company.
Now, Blockstream has set its sights on monetizing the Liquid Network with financial products. In an interview with BetaKit, Blockstream CSO Samson Mow cited the recent launch of the Blockstream Mining Note (BMN), a securitization of a portion of Blockstream's Bitcoin mining operations, as an example of the type of investment product the startup plans to roll out.
"We're at a point in our growth where we need additional capital to ramp up on a number of our initiatives," Mow told BetaKit. "We've been building a lot of infrastructure on the software side, like the Liquid Network … We've been building financial products. We acquired a hedge fund, so that we can build our own financial products and instruments on top of our own network."
Blockstream plans to use the fresh capital to fuel the next stage of its growth, including expansion into a new type of mining hardware and the launch of Bitcoin financial products on top of the Liquid Network, which the startup views as a key revenue growth opportunity.

"So, we're kind of like blending together the worlds of finance and industrial Bitcoin mining right now, but the financial aspect of our company is going to grow," said Mow. "We're going to have hedge fund-type products like alpha funds, essentially, Bitcoin alpha funds, and US dollar alpha funds, and other innovative things that we can't really mention now."
According to Mow, Blockstream ultimately aims to raise between $300 and 400 million USD for its Series B round. He said the startup will likely close additional financing soon, adding that Blockstream expects to receive "additional interest" following this announcement.
Along with the new funding, Blockstream has also announced its acquisition of Israeli cryptocurrency mining hardware company Spondoolies. Blockstream has acquired Spondoolies' intellectual property (IP) and core team for an undisclosed amount, financing the deal using a combination of previous capital and equity.
Spondoolies, which has designed and built five different crypto mining products, is a semiconductor chip design firm. The company has joined Blockstream to help build out the startup's application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) arm. An ASIC is an integrated circuit chip customized for a particular use.

"Blockstream is bringing on-board the Spondoolies core team and acquiring related IP to launch the world's first enterprise-class miner next year," said Adam Back, Blockstream's CEO and co-founder. "The Spondoolies team's pedigree in Bitcoin ASIC design and engineering complements our enterprise-class mining infrastructure, and will accelerate our continuing expansion and decentralization of the Bitcoin mining space."
The Spondoolies deal is Blockstream's third acquisition to date. In May, Spondoolies acquired Adamant Capital, a Texas-based Bitcoin hedge fund manager. The transaction laid the foundation for the startup's launch of Blockstream Finance, a division focused on the launch of new Bitcoin investment products on the Liquid Network. Mow said Blockstream's current focus is on building out its own technology, but added that the company remains open to more acquisitions "down the road."

Blockstream's Series B round comes over five years after the company raised its Series A round in early 2016. "We didn't really start looking at this until probably mid-last year, just because we didn't need to," said Mow. "We have Bitcoin on our balance sheet—we were doing that well before MicroStrategy did that—so we had a pretty big war chest. We didn't really need to raise capital."
The fresh capital brings Blockstream's total funding to date to about $366 million CAD.
The company's previous investors include Real Ventures, AME Cloud Ventures, AXA Strategic Ventures, Blockchain Capital, Digital Currency Group, Digital Garage, Future\Perfect Ventures, Horizons Ventures, East Ventures, Khosla Ventures, Mosaic Ventures, and Seven Seas Partners.

In 2017, after Mow joined Blockstream, the startup moved into Bitcoin mining, which today represents the company's primary revenue driver. Blockstream also presently derives a significant portion of its revenue from the company's data partnership with the Intercontinental Exchange, the owner and operator of the New York Stock Exchange. Blockstream pulls cryptocurrency trading data from exchanges around the world into a consolidated feed, which the Intercontinental Exchange sells to its institutional customers.
Going forward, Blockstream also plans to use some of the fresh capital to expand its mining operations with the launch of new facilities, a process Mow described as "very capital intensive." The startup currently has mining facilities in Québec and Georgia, the United States (US), and intends to expand to a number of other undisclosed sites.
In response to a question about what the size of this round and Blockstream's latest valuation means for the Canadian blockchain ecosystem, Mow said, "I think it's good for companies that are building on Bitcoin, but I don't think there are that many in Canada."
Blockstream recently met with El Salvador officials to discuss the issuance of a digital US dollar-denominated bond on the Liquid Network, after El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as legal tender in June, becoming the first country in the world to do so.
RELATED: Ledn raises $3.4 million CAD to accelerate the growth of its Bitcoin-backed lending platform
"The current thing we're focused on discussing with [El Salvador] is the potential bond offering," said Mow. "They're very much interested in issuing their bonds on Liquid Network using our security token infrastructure. So, that's still in discussion."
Mow said progress on this front has been slow over the past couple of weeks. "We've been busy with our B round, and they're busy with the implementation of the Bitcoin law," he said.
On the product side, Blockstream recently launched Blockstream Energy, designed to maximize renewable energy investment returns at power production sites. The startup plans to use this infrastructure in partnerships around the world, including its collaboration with Square to develop an open-source, solar-powered mining facility in the US.
Blockstream has about 70 employees currently. To support its growth plans, the startup intends to double or triple the size of its team over the next few years. According to Mow, Blockstream is looking to add employees in marketing, business development, engineering, and project management roles—in other words, "pretty much everything," he said.
"Baillie Gifford is committed to backing transformational growth companies at their early stages," said a Baillie Gifford spokesperson. "We have enormous respect for Blockstream's founders and management team, and we believe its settlement network for Bitcoin-based assets and securities has the potential to transform the design and operation of capital markets."

Dante Ultimo Subscription Issue Corrected! - Studio Technologies, Inc.
Home / Tech Notes / Dante Ultimo Subscription Issue Corrected!
In a previous Tech Note (https://studio-tech.com/tech-notes/problem-with-dante-subscriptions-re-establishing/) an issue was described that impacted certain of our Dante products. In some cases Dante subscriptions ("routes") would not re-establish upon a power cycle or when disconnecting and reconnecting to the Ethernet network. Over the past several months some of our customers have experienced this issue and we simply couldn't offer a good solution. It was stressful for everyone involved and sometimes lead to less-than-optimal operation. But that changed as of yesterday when Audinate released a new version (4.1.4.2) of their Ultimo firmware.
Applicable to their Ultimo X2 and Ultimo X4 integrated circuits, this firmware corrects the issue of Dante subscriptions not always re-establishing correctly. Our initial testing of the new firmware confirms that it does resolve the issue. As a Dante licensee, Studio Technologies starts with the Audinate-provided firmware (in this case 4.1.4.2) and generates specific .dnt files for each of our Dante-supporting products. We have created 23 .dnt files for our various products and they are now available for download on our website. We have also submitted these files to Audinate's database in preparation for the release of a new version of the Dante Controller software application. This forthcoming version will provide a streamlined method of updating Dante firmware.
Updating the Dante firmware in all Studio Technologies products to the latest is highly recommended! It's simple and can be performed by way of each unit's Ethernet interface. Details are provided in the user guide of all products. Contact technical support should additional details be required.
Hopefully we can now say "case closed" on this issue!

Q: Subsystem of infeasible system of linear inequalities Suppose that we have a system of linear inequalities described by
$$Ax \leq b$$ where $A$ is $m \times n$ matrix.
I want to show that if the system is infeasible then it has a subsystem of at most $\text{rank}(A)+1$ inequalities such that the subsystem is also infeasible.
My is initial thought was to use Farkas Lemma on the original system and modify the certificate $y$ to obtain $y'$ as a certificate for a subsystem of at most $\text{rank}(A)+1$ inequalities, but I am stuck from there, maybe my initial thought it wrong?

A: HINT:
A system of inequalities $Ax \le b$ is incompatible if and only if the inequality $0 \le -1$ is a positive linear combination the inequalities in $Ax \le b$, that is, if and only if the $n+1$ row $(0,0,\ldots, 0, -1)$ is a positive linear combination of the rows of the augmented matrix $(A,b)$. Note that the rank of the matrix $(A,b)$ is $\le \operatorname{rank} A + 1$.
To conclude, you have to use the following: if a vector $v$ is a positive combination of $m$ vectors $v_1$, $\ldots$, $v_m$, then it is a positive combination of a linearly independent subset of the $v_i$'s.

The 1999–2000 Fussball Club Basel 1893 season was their 106th season since the club's foundation. Following their promotion in the 1993–94 season this was their sixth consecutive season in the highest tier of Swiss football.
René C. Jäggi was the club's chairman for the fourth year. FC Basel played their home games in the Stadion Schützenmatte while the new stadium was being built.

Overview
On 15 June 1999 Christian Gross was appointed as the new first team trainer and he assigned Ruedi Zbinden as his co-trainer. Forming his new team, Gross made a number of signings before the season started. These new signings included defensive players such as Alexandre Quennoz, who signed from Sion, Ivan Knez from Luzern and Murat Yakin who came from Fenerbahçe and forwards such as George Koumantarakis who signed in from Luzern, Didier Tholot from Sion and Thomas Häberli from Kriens. The most interest was raised in the signing of Pascal Zuberbühler in a goalkeeper swap with Stefan Huber who then went to Grasshopper Club. In the outwards direction Mario Frick transferred to Zürich, Abedi to Yverdon and Fabrice Henry to Hibernian (on loan).

The Campaign

Pre-season friendlies
Before the domestic League season started on 7 July Basel had little time to get things ready. They organised one test game against lower tier SR Delémont, which was played in Laufen and won 2–0, and they entered the Sempione Cup, which was played in Balsthal. Here Basel played the semi-final against Brasilian team Ituano FC, which was lost, and the third place match against Croatian Dinamo Zagreb, in which they also suffered a defeat.

Domestic League
The qualifying round of the League season 1999–2000 was contested by twelve teams. The first eight teams of the First Stage (or Qualification) were then to compete in the Championship Round. The season started on 7 July. Basel's priority aim was to reach the Championship stage and end the season in the top three. The season started sub-optimal, the team remained unbeaten, but with just three wins and four draws in the first seven rounds, they lost contact to the table leaders. Following their first defeat, in the away game against Lausanne-Sport, Basel improved their position in the table with another three victories. Basel suffered their first home defeat on 2 October against Yverdon-Sports, but they ended the Qualification Round in second position in the league table.

The Championship Round started on 12 March 2000. The participating teams took half of the points (rounded up to complete units) gained in the Qualification as bonus with them. Basel played amongst the table leaders and in the tenth round they even managed a 3–1 victory against league leaders St. Gallen. However, in their last four matches Basel won only two further points and dropped to third position behind champions St Gallen and Lausanne, against whom the final game of the season ended in a 0–3 home defeat on 7 June 2000. Nevertheless, Basel qualified for the 2000–01 UEFA Cup.

Domestic Cup
Basel's clear aim for the Swiss Cup was to win the title. In the round of 32, they were drawn away against Mendrisio. In the next round a home game against Grasshopper Club, ended in a draw and was eventually won in the penalty shoot out. The quarterfinal against Lausanne-Sport ended the cup run. Lausanne continued and advanced to the final, but here they were beaten by Zürich in a penalty shoot-out.

Europe
Basel were qualified for the 1999 UEFA Intertoto Cup. The first round was played against Slovenian team Korotan Prevalje on 20 and 26 June 1999 and won 6–0 on aggregate. The second round draw brought the Czech Republic club Boby Brno to Basel on 4 July. The return leg a week later gave Basel a 4–2 victory on aggregate. Although the first leg of the third round was won away from home against Hamburg, the Germans won the second leg in the Stadion Schützenmatte and Hamburg proceeded due to the away goals rule.

Players

First team squad
The following is the list of the Basel first team squad. It includes all players that were in the squad the day the season started on 7 July 1999 but subsequently left the club after that date and it includes all players that transferred in during the season.

Disease Prevention Stories
Wisconsin Prison Adopts No-Touch Cleaning
The Wisconsin Secure Program Facility (WSPF), Boscobel, WI, reports they are now cleaning the facility using No-Touch Cleaning® equipment developed by Kaivac, Inc.
The 205,590-square-foot facility retains its own custodians and has nine cleaning workers and one lead custodian maintaining the entire institution.
According to a report by WSPF, using the Kaivac equipment, "the [high-quality] cleanliness the prison strives for is very apparent."
The Kaivac system applies cleaning chemicals to surfaces to be cleaned. The same areas are then rinsed, washing away soils, which are then vacuumed up using the systems built-in wet/vac.
"The Kaivac system decreases the risk of contamination to both staff and inmates," according to the WSPF report. "It also allows staff to be in and out of areas more rapidly, improving worker productivity and increasing the number of cells cleaned."
According to Matt Morrison, communications manager for Kaivac, studies by ISSA, the leading trade association for the professional cleaning industry, report that using no-touch equipment can be as much as two-thirds faster than using conventional cleaning procedures such as mops and buckets.
Further, studies presented by the Cleaning Industry Research Institute (CIRI) indicate that cleaning with the no-touch system more effectively removes contaminants from surfaces.
"The spread of disease, including increasing cases of MRSA, are very serious problems in correctional facilities," adds Morrison. "It's because [no-touch] systems are fast and effective that prison administrators at WSPF and other facilities are selecting them.

The news inside Sega's third quarter earnings report today was not great for the Entertainment Contents division or, really, any component of Sega Sammy Holdings.
The company overall reported profit for Q3 2019 of ¥681 million, or just $5.6 million. That is a 95 percent decline from the same period in FY2018. The profit was earned on revenue of ¥250.3 billion, or more than $2.3 billion–also a decline, albeit of just four percent.
That comes despite the Entertainment Contents division showing a rise in sales to about $1.5 billion, an increase of more than five percent. Still profits in the division were shaved by more than a third year-over-year, to about $96.5 million.
A big factor in that success was Sega's packaged games sales, both new and catalog. Sales rose 22 percent in that field to 18.5 million units. But the big drag was in digital. Though sales also increased a tad in digital, the company took what's called an impairment loss on the sector, accounting for money lost by terminating some of Sega's digital titles and initiatives.
That impairment loss is so substantial, paired with losses in the Resorts division, Sega Sammy is now forecasting a loss for the year of nearly $14 million. The company was once expecting profits for FY2019 to exceed $100 million.

They raved about the point guard's potential fit in Phoenix alongside Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton after news came out Monday that Lonzo Ball's father, Lavar Ball, wanted his son to go to Phoenix if he were traded from Los Angeles.
"We want to be in L.A.," LaVar Ball told ESPN. "But if he's traded, I don't want Lonzo in New Orleans. Phoenix is the best fit for him. And I am going to speak it into existence."
It is believed that the Suns would have to join a three-team trade with the New Orleans Pelicans and Lakers to acquire Lonzo Ball and it is not known what Phoenix would have to give up to get the point guard.
Los Angeles is believed to have offered a package of young players and picks to New Orleans in an attempt to acquire Anthony Davis.
It is unknown if the Pelicans are seriously considering trading Davis, who wants to be dealt before the deadline.
Still, that hasn't stopped NBA pundits from envisioning the impact Lonzo Ball could have with the Suns.

Frank Urbina writes: "Ball and the Phoenix Suns would be an interesting fit, as the UCLA product would fill what has been Phoenix's biggest hole for years now: the point guard position. Ball hasn't lit the world on fire quite yet as a pro, but he has shown flashes of being a unique difference-maker from the lead-guard spot, with a blend of savvy passing and defensive acumen that help set him apart. Next to Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton, Ball could complete the team's Big Three of the future. Nevertheless, if the Davis deal doesn't come to fruition, then there's little chance Ball goes anywhere prior to Thursday's deadline."
Chris Thompson writes: "So the Suns could supplement Los Angeles's best offer by rerouting Lonzo and offering in compensation some combination of their own young players and draft picks. It should be worth it for the Suns, if it means finally securing a young point guard to take some of the burden off of Booker, and if it finally brings the shape of their future core into greater focus. They've been twisting in the desolate hinterlands of NBA basketball for more than four years, now. Probably they should not get into the habit of following the basketball wisdom of LaVar Ball, a man who has turned three talented sons into two untouchable nomads and one miserable head-case. But this is a good idea LaVar had, and the NBA would be better and cooler if he had this wish."
Evan Sidery writes: "The Suns have yet to fill the void at point guard left by Eric Bledsoe over 15 months ago, so is Ball about to be the answer? Despite Ball still being a member of the Lakers for the time being, his camp clearly wants Phoenix to get involved in the Davis trade for him. As I wrote last week, I believe Lonzo Ball would be a great fit next to Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton from an on-court standpoint. Ball is the ideal facilitator and defender you need between the Suns' two young pillars."
Joseph Zucker writes: "While Ball would probably be the No. 1 option at the point anywhere he goes, Phoenix would offer one of the easiest paths to the starting rotation. The Suns are throwing out De'Anthony Melton and Elie Okobo at point guard, with Devin Booker moving over from shooting guard to run the offense, too. Along with Booker and 2018 No. 1 draft pick Deandre Ayton, Ball would be a key piece of the franchise's future."
Ohm Youngmisuk writes: "In addition to having Booker as the franchise's star, Phoenix selected center Deandre Ayton with the top pick overall in last year's draft. Phoenix could be helped by an athletic, pass-first point guard like Ball. The Suns' starting point guards average 8.6 points per game, the fewest among starting point guards in the league. That number drops to 6.9 points per game and 3.6 assists per game when taking out the games Booker started at point guard."
