I recorded my second podcast of the day at the Royal Ontario Museum or ROM as it's known locally after having a look around some of the interesting galleries to be found across the museum's various levels.
My favourites were, once again, the dinosaur fossils which are completely stunning. The museum is home to a huge collection, plus there is a lot that can be learned about these fascinating creatures here too.
Also, apparently if you're outside the museum at night, you can actually see the dinos silhouetted through the windows which must make for a pretty awesome sight.
A close second for me were the Earth's Treasures galleries which are filled with minerals, gems, gold and more. That's where I took this picture. This particular piece really struck me as something unique as that's a full sheet of copper you can see there. Plus there were lots of other shiny things to check out in these entertaining galleries.
The ROM is one the most important museums in Canada and in the world, thanks to its huge collection of artefacts relating to natural history and world cultures. I can see why it's so popular and why so many people visit it each year. You really could spend hours wandering around looking at the displays and engaging with the interactive parts of the exhibits.

With the loan, Ismael will plant 6-10 hectares of maize, soya, and cowpeas on part of the university's farm plot. He hopes to use the profits to pay for his fourth and final year of university, which is not part of the scholarship, and to also develop a small piece of land he currently owns. He wants to eventually have his own agricultural business where he can help people who do not have an education by training them in agriculture.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
Kiva's support will finance the direct crop and services costs for each participating farmer, including financing their first small student plots. The loan will pay for all necessary inputs and associated services from end to end. These expenses include: seeds, fertilizers, and herbicides; land preparation, planting, and spraying; and harvesting, bagging, and transport of crops. An innovative component of the loan product is a weather insurance feature, which is covered by the interest fee on the loan. Weather index insurance is purchased on behalf of the farmers at the beginning of the planting season, and if aggregate rainfall in the critical months of January and February falls below a certain level, the farmers fully recover their direct crop costs.
About Africa Agricultural Development CompanyAfrica Agricultural Development Company (AgDevCo) is a nonprofit venture capital organization that invests to create successful agribusinesses. Their mission is to relieve poverty directly and indirectly by raising agricultural productivity for rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly by investing in smallholder farmers. Kiva's support will finance the direct crop and services costs for each participating farmer, including financing their first small student plots.
AgDevCo joined Kiva through our Experimental Partnership Program, and has therefore received a lighter level of due diligence. Accordingly, loans associated with this partner carry a higher level of risk than typical Kiva loans.

Fixed Point's Larry Taunton represented the Christian view in a debate with atheist Dan Dennett & Muslim Imam Zaid Shakir on Al Jazeera on Sunday, May 17th for the launch of Third Rail, a new current affairs program hosted by Imran Garda. Al Jazeera's global reach is 260 million. The network hasn't made the full debate video available yet, but you can watch an excerpt from the broadcast here.
Some would have us believe the debate is over. We don't think so.
To that end, Fixed Point Foundation goes where many fear to tread: a debate on gay marriage. Will Saletan of Slate and Sherif Girgis, author of "What is Marriage? Man and Woman: A Defense," go head-to-head over one of the most hotly contested topics of our time.
Whatever your opinion is on the issue, this debate offers both sides a wonderful opportunity to engage those who do not agree with them in a civil way. Poster image: © iStock.com/IS_ImageSource

Christopher Hitchens vs. Larry Taunton: A Debate
Before a packed house at the Babcock Theater in the picturesque city of Billings, Montana, Christopher Hitchens, famed atheist and author of "God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything," debates Larry Taunton, executive director at Fixed Point Foundation.
Curious to many is the fact that Hitchens and Taunton, while categorically disagreeing on this debate's central question, are friends. They have debated one another privately on numerous occasions. This is their first public encounter. The two men go head-to-head on a question with profound implications a question ultimately relevant to everyone.
Through lively and passionate dialogue, God or No God? Provides an excellent opportunity for people of all persuasions to engage with the ideas that are vying for influence in our culture.

Richard Dawkins vs. John Lennox: A Debate
An enthralling topic for scientists, skeptics, and Christians for nearly 150 years, the answer to this question has implications that reverberate throughout public and private life, from government policy and medical ethics to individual choices made every day.
Two scientists return to the Oxford Museum of Natural History, the famed site of the 1860 evolution debate between Huxley and Wilberforce. Discussing an issue the BBC calls "as fierce as ever," the two go head to head in a remarkable match of intellect.
Holding the atheistic position is Prof. Richard Dawkins, celebrated author of "The God Delusion" and regarded by many as the spokesman for the "New Atheism." Opposing Dawkins is his fellow Oxford professor John Lennox. Lennox, like Dawkins, has dedicated his career to science, but arrives at very different conclusions. "It is the very nature of science," he says "that leads me to belief in God."
In this discussion, these two great minds come together for a lively, entertaining, and thoughtful dialogue on one of the most important questions of our time.

Richard Dawkins vs. John Lennox: A Debate
In 2006, world-renowned atheist and scientist Professor Richard Dawkins published his world-wide best-seller "The God Delusion," an all-out assault on religion in general and Christianity in particular. In it, Dawkins asserts that such belief is nothing short of delusional.
One year later, two of the greatest minds in the science-religion debate met to put those assertions to the test.
The God Delusion Debate pits Dawkins against his Oxford University colleague Professor John Lennox, who is both a scientist and a Christian theologian. In this, his first visit to the so-called Bible Belt, Dawkins debates his views as expressed in "The God Delusion" and their validity over and against the Christian faith. The event garnered national and international attention from The Times of London, NPR, BBC, Christian Post, and Fox News Network. Spectator Magazine called the debate remarkable, and still others have called it historic.
The God Delusion Debate was filmed on October 3, 2007 before a sold-out crowd at the University of Alabama-Birmingham's Alys Stephens Center and broadcast to a global audience of over one million.

Christopher Hitchens vs. David Berlinski: A Debate
In front of a sold-out crowd of 1,200 in Birmingham, Alabama, Christopher Hitchens, famed atheist and author of "God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything," debates Dr. David Berlinski, Paris mathematician and author of "The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and its Scientific Pretensions."
Hitchens and others of the New Atheism movement have called for the annihilation of religion in order to establish a purely secular society. Berlinski, who describes himself as a secular Jew and an agnostic takes the position that a society absent religious influence is not the kind of place where most of us would want to live.
So the question stands: Is a purely secular society preferable to a religious one? Ultimately, this is a question of importance to everyone. Whether a given society is with or without a religious influence affects people of all persuasions, not just Christians and atheists. Seen the debate? Click here for questions this debate raises.

John Lennox vs. Peter Singer: A Debate
In the land Down Under, two intellectual titans go head to head over an age-old question: Is there a God? Oxford scientist and Christian apologist John Lennox takes on bioethicist and philosopher Peter Singer, one of the most controversial and influential atheists of our time. Fixed Point's Larry Taunton moderates the debate in the handsome Town Hall of Melbourne, Australia Singer's home city.
At times philosophical, at times deeply personal, "Is There a God?" is a fascinating debate that grapples with difficult subjects such as suffering, justice, and more - right down to the most fundamental questions of existence: "Who am I?" and "Why am I here?"
"Given what we know about the world now, belief in a deity - particularly a deity of the Bible - is irrational." - Peter Singer
"Just as rationality can be used but cannot ultimately be explained without God, the same is true of morality." - John Lennox

Dinesh D'Souza vs. Peter Singer: A Debate
In front of a sold out crowd at Princeton University, cultural commentator Dinesh D'Souza debates bioethicist and philosopher Peter Singer, one of the most controversial and influential atheists of our time. Having both written on the topic, D'Souza and Singer dispute where and how we find the very foundations of morality.
"Can there be Morality Without God?" sees two of the world's brightest minds clash in a dynamic encounter on a provocative subject. And in the end, the question of whether or not our moral codes owe their origin to an authority beyond ourselves is a question that applies to everyone.
"Much of what we call secular morality is itself standing on a Christian pedestal." - Dinesh D'Souza
"We have to use our own judgement. We have to sort out for ourselves what's right and wrong." - Peter Singer

Christopher Hitchens vs. John Lennox: A Debate
Asking the question "Is God great?" may seem strange to many. They argue that, in a time when people cannot even agree on God's existence, such a question seems presumptuous at the very least. But the issue continues to arise. "Is God Great?" sees two of the West's very best minds face off on the subject - Christopher Hitchens and professor John Lennox.
Hitchens, who made his opinion clear on the topic with his book "God is not Great," maintains not only that God fails to be great, but denies his existence entirely. Professor Lennox, a convinced Christian and scientist, respectfully disagrees. This event features a unique blend of both planned remarks and fast-paced dialogue that tackles these issues in a refreshing and informative light. It is sure to offer insights to all.

Christopher Hitchens vs. Dinesh D'Souza: A Debate
"God on Trial" pits two of the most eloquent and influential spokesmen for atheism and Christianity against one another in what is surely one of the most spirited discussions of its kind. Celebrated atheist Christopher Hitchens matches wits with bestselling author Dinesh D'Souza before a packed house of over 2,000 people in St. Louis' elegant Powell Symphony Hall. No matter what you believe, God on Trial will challenge your prejudices and opinions on issues that are relevant to us all: faith, eternity, purpose, justice, and morality.

Christopher Hitchens vs. John Lennox: A Debate
A New Europe is emerging from the old order and with it, a modern version of an old philosophy. Dubbed the New Atheism, advocates are calling for the abandonment of Europe's religious heritage and the adoption of an aggressive secularism. Religion is detrimental to society, they argue. Indeed, in the words of Christopher Hitchens, it "poisons everything."
Some, such as professor John Lennox, strongly disagree. They maintain that, far from undermining society, the preservation of religious though, and Christianity in particular, is vital to the survival of Western civilization.
All this leads to the inevitable questions: Should atheism replace Christianity in Europe? Does atheism have a better record than Christianity? And finally: where would the New Atheism lead the New Europe?

At the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Professor Bart Ehrman and Dinesh D'Souza debate whether evil and suffering undermine the possibility of God's existence. The debate focuses on Ehrman's book "God's Problem: How the Bible Fails to Answer Our Most Important Question -- Why We Suffer." Ehrman says it was the issue of suffering that led him to reject belief in the God of the Bible.

Obscure Video Games: Fuuun Gokuu Ninden
Sep 05
// Obscure Video Games
The game follows a trio of heroes -- a monkey, a pig and a kappa -- on their quest to, uh, kill a bad guy. I'm sure there's a little more to it, but without knowing Japanese or the original story, I can't really tell you. What I can tell you is that the game is a fairly by-the-numbers action platformer where you jump and kill, with each level ending in a boss fight. The monkey sprays a bunch of mini-monkeys, the pig breathes fire, and the kappa throws the plate on his head. All three characters can throw enemies around the screen, which is admittedly quite fun to watch. What makes-or-breaks a platformer, though, is enemy variety, visual style and boss design. And this game misses on all three counts. There is a very limited selection of enemies, and they are repeated constantly throughout the game. For example, you will get really sick of seeing these little Chinese soldier guys: As you can see here, the graphics and visual style are both just really bland. It sort of reminds me of the original Gex with its pre-rendered 3D sprites. Occasionally you'll see some nice pixel art in the background, but the developers really cut corners for the most part. The pharaoh here is typical of the bosses in the game -- cute, but uninspired. They don't have a lot of moves, and they don't require any strategy except hitting them until they blow up. I was having trouble with a few of the bosses until I realized my special attacks could bring them down really fast. There are only a few cut-scenes in the game, which is good because they are terrible. The squeaky voices made me want to stab my eardrums. Maybe I'm not the intended audience. If everything I've said so far wasn't enough to turn you off from playing Fuuun Gokuu Ninden, there's one more thing -- the price. Not only is this game extremely rare, but for some reason it's actually in-demand among collectors. Expect to pay about $100 for a complete, used copy. It's not a bad game overall, but it's also not "fuuun" enough to recommend that kind of purchase. Now watch me fail at trying to kill the final boss: [embed]308290:60197:0[/embed]

Review: Nekoburo: Cats Block
Jul 12
// Jed Whitaker
Nekoburo - Cats Block (PS Vita, PlayStation TV [Reviewed])Developer: F K Digital Publisher: Neko EntertainmentMSRP: $7.99Released: July 7, 2015 Square alien cats made of electrical waves are passing the Earth when a solar storm strikes, knocking them to the planet. One of the cats gets found by a human female who takes him home and treats him nicely, so he decides to summon his pals through her television to join him living with his new servant. If this somehow related to the gameplay other than featuring said cats, it was never apparent. Levels consist of a standard falling from the top of the screen match three mechanic, three cats fall from the top of the screen that can be moved left to right and be reordered on a tilted playing field. Each level has a specific quest such as clearing a certain number of cats of a certain color within a timelimit, or surviving for a set amount of time while cats drop quickly. Matching three or more cats of the same color in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line will clear them. Clearing cats also fills up a meter that grants items that help clear the board such as horizontal and vertical bombs, a grid warp that clears a set of nine surrounding blocks, clearing all cats of a single color and a rainbow block that clears the entire board. [embed]295827:59475:0[/embed] Acquiring these items and knowing when to use them are an important part of the game, as each level seemingly has a specific way to complete it. For example, one level has what look to be tofu blocks slowly advancing from the bottom of the screen that can only be cleared with items or clearing cats in horizontal lines. In this level the only real way to complete the level is to constantly build up and use items to keep the middle of the screen cleared, as the middle is the only area that can cause a failure, the other rows don't matter and stack up past the edges of the level with no repurrrrrrcussions. The levels are laid out in such a way that it forces you to learn the mechanics of the game with no hand holding. One level may require so many vertical bombs to be used to clear it, thus teaching you how to effectively use them, another may require rainbow blocks be detonated which is extremely important in later levels. After every 10 levels a new cat will materialize through the TV in the human's house, in tow with its own personality, background information and colorful comic. Unfortunately the dialogue and background information is so poorly localized it is basically incomprehensible. I've played a lot of poorly localized games in my day -- looking at you Zero Wing -- but this one was easily the worst. Here are two examples of the awfully translated text: "He hope to become an charming men as chocolate," and "Even though fiery rude, he have sense of justice. He did something that against the grain with him, because think to much." Nekoburo isn't exactly a hard game as it is random -- or more specifically, the difficulty is mostly due to the random generation of the falling cat blocks. Sometimes, exactly what is required to complete a level will spawn, other times you'll have to work for it. This isn't specific to any level though, so it isn't like the levels are specifically designed to spawn cats in a certain way, at least it seems that way on the surface level. Multiple attempts at the same level will eventually yield positive results, allowing level completion, other times the game just seems to be against you. Though this is the case with most puzzle games, so it isn't exactly a new problem with the genre -- it's just worse here. Between levels you can customize the apartment with furniture, and play with the cats with toys, both of which are unlocked by completing certain goals attached to them. While the cats are uber cute, this portion of the game left much to be desired; the furniture can't be moved, and the toys aren't exactly fun to play with more than once. One of the toys is turning on the TV for the cats to watch, the screen just lights up white as the cats sit there, not what I'd call a toy or entertaining. The story mode can be completed in around six or seven hours, mostly due to trial and error. A survival mode is unlocked around half way through the story mode that is just an endless mode that increases in difficulty, much like marathon mode in Tetris. As there are no online leaderboards and the furniture is little more than pallet swaps there is little reason to continue playing once the story mode is finished unless you're a completionist. The best thing about Nekoburo: Cats Block is the art style; everything is bright, colorful and super adorable, but take that away and you're left with a generic, poorly translated puzzle game with a tilted playing field that doesn't compliment gameplay. Nekoburo is certainly not the cat's meow. [This review is based on a retail build of the game provided by the publisher.]

The Silent Hill Retrospective: Silent Hill
May 30
// Stephen Turner
Silent Hill was as much about crumbling economics as it was about night cries and picket fences. Much like Resident Evil's Raccoon City, the dilapidated lakeside town was undone by greed. America losing its values to modernisation was a recurring theme in survival horror. It was a warning from those whom had lost their own traditions to capitalist growth, not that far removed from the J-Horror zeitgeist at the time. But more often than not, Silent Hill takes its inspiration from days gone by. Old Silent Hill's influences are worn on street names and ledgers, from Stephen King to Sonic Youth to Psycho. Even the intro pops to the sounds of vinyl, its theme song in equal parts Eastern tremolo and Western twang. These influences come together to create small-town America on the slide, full of "mom & pop" stores and tight-knit suburban mazes. But rather than a tourist, you're a trespasser. Horror in all its forms has this element of invasion. Here, Harry Mason breaks into homes, schools, and hospitals, as he searches for his missing daughter. Though the overall plot ends up becoming more about the Otherworld, his parental fears are always at the forefront. Essentially, it's not Harry's story, but Alessa Gilesspie's. As the player, and as Mason, we're the outsiders looking in. Perception is the key to the story and scares. Memories are skewered to point where friendly faces are misjudged and emotional attachments lead to narrow-minded decisions. Harry falls through the layers of reality, like the waking waves of a bad dream, and sees the town for what it really is. The Otherworld is an abstract place, clearly a concept that reflects its tortured conduit. What could've possibly been a new paradise takes a horrific form because of Alessa's abuse and lack of care by her mother, Dahlia Gilesspie, and Dr. Michael Kaufmann. Later games would force the perspective onto the main protagonist, and at times would suffer for it, but few would capture that "traveller in a foreign land" feel of their predecessor. It's because of the Otherworld that Silent Hill is relentless and oppressive. It constantly toys with the audience, waiting to take shape, and gradually stripping away the safety nets. Harry is shown to be extremely vulnerable, early on. He stumbles off steps, puts out his hands as he crashes into walls, has to catch his breath, and is a terrible shot. Our first contact with the Otherworld ends in seemingly death. It's a far cry from the shrug-it-off antics of S.T.A.R.S. or Edward Carnby P.I. Every attempt is made to obfuscate the audience, either by claustrophobic gaze, location, sounds, or virtual threat. Radio static is both friend and foe; warning us of monsters beyond the flashlight's reach and ramping up the tension just by letting us know that something's there. Ominous, hollow synths give way to industrial noise, punishing and overbearing. Akira Yamaoka's soundtrack is comparatively brutal to his later work, the kind of unsettling cacophony that would give a pre-Grammy winner John Congleton nightmares. Even at its most calm in the Fog World, the music still sets your teeth on edge. And yet, by the final act, where reality is in actuality nothingness, Silent Hill does an amazing job of drawing sympathy out of horrific circumstances. To many, Lisa Garland is the human face of Silent Hill (both town and title), and our perception of her stems from Alessa's own memories. She's seen as this kind and selfless nurse that only wants to help, but as we delve deeper, endure and learn, we discover what lies beneath. The bright smile, the homely uniform, and her position of warmth and care, are all her "picket fences." By the end, we find out Lisa was a drug addict, terrified of her only patient. Through Harry, she finds the strength to push onwards, only to realise her own fate was already set in stone. Truth shatters the façade, breaks down her body, and we're confronted with yet another disturbing subject of horror. For Harry, it's too much and he runs away. But for once, instead of the oppressive percussion of Yamaoka's themes, we're treated to the melancholic Not Tomorrow. These were people, not monsters. [embed]292927:58733:0[/embed] In a time of hi-five heroics, Silent Hill offered no such compliments. The best ending closes on a bittersweet note. The town is still lost to the Otherworld, though probably not as powerful as it once was, and Harry doesn't quite get his daughter back. In a shot mirroring the intro, and with his cop friend, Cybil Bennett, standing in for his deceased wife, there's the nagging suspicion that for all we've done, it might just happen again. Sure, we saved a young girl's soul, but we didn't really win anything. Only lessons and traditions were learned. Maybe that was the point, considering the start of this article. As a game, the first and only PSX release has undoubtedly aged in the last 16 years. But much like the low-budget horror movies and low-fi recordings it emulated, Silent Hill overcame handicap through inventiveness. The Otherworld, the town, the storytelling, they were all informed by thinking outside the box. Everything we know about Silent Hill – every fan theory, every femme fatale characteristic, run-down aesthetic, social commentary, urban quest, childhood memory, occultist lore, and personal demon – stems from this very title. So it might be a little frayed around the edges, and certain conveyances are needlessly obscure, but for a mainstream horror game that was intended, quite cynically by Konami remember, to chase after that sweet Resident Evil success, it really was a very unique and artistic beast. It's still wonderful to think how something like that could be produced by such a small group of rag-tag developers, left alone to their own devices in a fairly corporate environment. Of course, though we had survived our first trip through the dark side of Americana, the world had been left open for more lost souls and more horrific layers to come…
What's going on with that radio?
Western horror, Eastern eyes. That was what made Silent Hill memorable for a generation. It was visceral and relentless, oppressive and paranoid, and underlined with a tragic tale that hadn't been seen on the normally e...

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster on PS4 looks better than ever, but has major problems
May 14
// Brett Zeidler
Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster (PS Vita, PS3, PS4 [tested])Developer: Square EnixPublisher: Square EnixReleased: May 12, 2015MSRP: $49.99 In terms of the entire package, the PS4 version is the exact same compilation as the original remaster release. The international versions of both base games, Eternal Calm, Last Mission, and the super weird audio drama are all here. Nothing in terms of gameplay content was added or removed. However, there appears to be an alteration or a major bug affecting FFX's random number generation. People even more keen than myself on FFX have noticed the RNG system is completely broken in the PS4 version. Random encounters and events are supposed to be, well, random. However, this is no longer the case in this version. Encounters always occur when they are supposed to, they will always have the same enemies, and the battles will always play out exactly the same way. No matter how many times the game is reset, the occurrence and outcome of encounters or events that involve the RNG system are set in stone. This has a drastic affect in key aspects of the game. Say you're having trouble on a specific boss, and if you could just land that twenty-second hit it would change the tide of battle for you. Well, the bad news is on the PS4 version you're always going to miss that twenty-second hit as it stands. Additionally, this changes ribbon farming, blitzball, and likely everything else that involves RNG. I couldn't test every aspect of this, but I could easily predict down to the second when my first battle against two Chimera would occur during one of my saves in the Calm Lands. I could have tracked this up to as many subsequent "random" encounters as I wished. I checked the exact same save file on PS3, and encounters were always random. FFX-2 does not appear to have this problem. [embed]292113:58550:0[/embed] A major complaint of the PS3 and Vita release was the new rearranged soundtrack. It seemed a lot of people simply outright hated its existence, whereas others would have at least preferred the choice to switch to the original soundtrack. Thankfully, players now have that option at any point during their playthrough. I actually really enjoyed the remaster soundtrack, but on my current playthrough it's been nice to use the original. It sounds amazing. The Besaid Village theme in particular sounded the best even back in 2001. Unfortunately, the background music system also has a major bug in the PS4 release. Background music on the PS2, PS3, and Vita versions continued playing where the track left off once a battle occurred, but now this is no longer the case. For a game like FFX that has a ton of random encounters, you will likely only ever hear the first ten or twenty seconds of a track unless you stop and listen to the music. It appears to have to do with how the soundtrack switching system was implemented, affecting both FFX and FFX-2. The soundtracks sound amazing, which makes this bug so unfortunate. Hopefully it can easily be fixed in a future patch. Cross-Save was a great feature of the PS3 and Vita version, and it's been extended here for the PS4 version. Once a particular game is fired up, all old saves that were stored in the cloud previously can be accessed just as quickly and easily as before. It took me less than a few minutes to install the game, start up Final Fantasy X, load a save from awhile back, and instantly pick up right where I had left off at that point. That's pretty cool. The PS4 version of the remaster has even more enhanced visuals, which is pretty amazing considering how incredible and smooth the game looked on PS3. To check this, I started a fresh playthrough on both consoles on the same television and played them alongside each other. The PS4 does have a slight graphical enhancement overall, but I really only noticed it because I was looking for it. There's a sort of extra crispness to the PS4 version, and the occasional aliasing issues that were still on the PS3 version are gone here. It's not a major overhaul, but the improvements are there. Additionally, Square claims more NPCs and monsters received enhanced models. I didn't notice any of these in my current playthrough (it's really hard to just stumble upon these without knowing specifically which were enhanced), but seeing poor-looking character models in the same scenes with enhanced ones was a big complaint, so it's nice to know this was addressed in some fashion. However, some other major complaints were not addressed at all. Cutscenes, for whatever reason, are still not skippable and there's no option to toggle between the old character models and the remastered ones. These types of things don't detract from my experience, but they were definitely huge complaints upon release last year, and it's unfortunate they weren't taken care of here. Some of those cutscenes are really long, man. As is stands, the PlayStation 4 version of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster is not the definitive version of the compilation. Even for super fans of Final Fantasy X, it's hard to recommend a version of their favorite game that has broken RNG, a background music bug, and still no skippable cutscenes no matter how beautiful the game looks or how incredibly fast it loads now. With an MSRP of $50 it's also a really hard sell to a brand-new player when the other two versions are currently so much cheaper, even more so if they already own one of those two versions (especially since they launched at $40). The PS3 version does lack the original soundtrack, but other than that it offers the truest experience of Final Fantasy X and X-2. If you must have it on PS4 or that's your only option, I'd honestly recommend waiting for the RNG and background music issues to hopefully be patched soon and the inevitable price drop. If those two major issues are ever fixed, the PlayStation 4 version of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster would easily be the definitive package.

I'm reading about AST (abstract syntax trees) but all the samples I see use expressions such as:
a + b * c
Which could be represented in a lispy like syntax as:
(+ a (* b c) )
Which will be the equivalent to:
/ \
a *
/ \
b c
My question is How an AST for a class in a OOPL would look like?
My naive attempt is for this Java code:
class Person {
String name;
int age;
public String toString() {
return "name";
;Hand written
(classDeclaration Person
(varDeclaration String name)
(varDeclaration int age )
(funcDeclaration String toString
(return "name")
But I'm not quite sure how close or far am I to a real AST representation.
Does it depends on the language I choose. How much detail is needed? Are those "xyzDeclaraction" needed or could be as:
(Person (String name) (int age))
Where can I see a "real" representation of an actual programming language to learn more.

You failed to mention how this team's had 2 seasons this year- one for each coach. This young team shouldn't be judged by it's entire season. This team's done the improbable- give them some credit! While I'm ceratain WKU will end up having to play UK and it's highly probably that it would loose, for any Ketnucky native this would be an awesome match up to just see. Two teams from Kentucky lead primarily by freshman. Coach Cal said he doesn't like how NCAA BBall teams are selected, that it's not fair that teams can win a confrence title witha loosing record. That's easy for him to say with his salary, school appeal, history and following. It's certainly fair for a smaller budgeted school with heart to play the larger budgeted school with heart. Let them play!
Go Hilltoppers! Great photo, Jabin Botsford! I wish I was in the USA to celebrate with my school for this great college basketball turnaround! WSJ didn't mention the coaching change that caused the turnaround in our season...thank you, Coach Harper!
Records like this is why I think that (1) teams with losing or close to .500 records should not be in the NCAA tournament and (2) the regular season champion should have the conference berth and not the winner of the tournament.
I understand that in the early years of a conference there is a need for a tournament, since all the teams do not play each other during the regular season, but once the conference schedule is complete, it should be clear which team deserves the berth. At best, the next-best teams should be at-large selections, and it is embarassing for one of the worst teams during the regular season to suddenly win a few games at the end and take a berth from teams that should be there on the basis of their seasons.
Unfortunately, it looks as if we are stuck with conference tournaments. But hopefully there might be some sanity restored to the process to allow the truly best teams to represent their conferences...
As a WKU graduate, I'm very proud of what these kids have accomplished against all of the odds. Let's be clear though. They certainly deserve to go because that's what the rules say. We didn't make the rules. I would personally prefer that no one go but regular season conference champions. It should be a tournament of champions. You'd be surprised to find out that only UK and Kansas have won more regular season conference championships than WKU. So in most cases, we'd be there regardless. If you do your homework, you'll also find that WKU has done fine against the mighty Wildcats over the years too-certainly better than any SEC teams.
WKU is something like 8th in all time winning %. I think they have been to 4 or 5 sweet sixteens and maybe one final 4. Did they go to the sweet 16 just a few yeas back? Teams like this have such a storng program, but so few know the real story since the ESPN's of the world have taken over. Great job WKU. Some of us know your history. Looks like you even have an all time wining record against Lousivlle and beat UK the last time you played them. I learned even more about you today....
I agree that the whole season's record and the regular season champion get to go to the dance, I really do, don't worry, from now on WKU will be there anyway, we just started taking over a lot earlier than anyone thought. Mark this: Ray Harper is the next college basketball icon and the Toppers are rising.
Conference tournaments are made for teams like this year's WKU squad. The school ridded the team of an ineffective coach and replaced him with a guy who has a knack for motivating young men to overcome adversity and to play above themselves. They outstretch their abilities, which are still in development. Isn't that what college basketball is about? The WKU story is a great story of redemption, a team of true amateurs who have taken on the form of a phoenix and have leaped from the flames and ashes of a proud program that had been burned down by poor leadership. They are far better than their record indicates.
Isn't the NCAA tournament about the teams playing the best in March? December doesn't matter a whole lot at this point. WKU is good.
Not having conference tournaments would hurt a lot of college basketball programs, many of which already have to overcome daily -- hourly -- slights delivered on ESPN. Programs like WKU do not get the television exposure Kentucky does; therefore, they depend upon gate revenue to be viable. If the season becomes meaningless in January, then the crowds will dwindle along with the money. It would be very difficult to build a team and program back. Western's (WKU) season became very meaningful late. With the late season upset of the Sunbelt's best team, WKU's rejuvenation -- it's leap from the ashes -- was nearing completion. Fans were interested because they knew that there was a good possibility that a team that was a wreck in early January might rumble into the NCAA tournament, which is another opportunity for a developing program to cash some very large checks.
John Calipari wants a semi-pro league and not college basketball. Don't buy into his pitch.

Google Ads for Mobile Phones Get Images
Google AdWords advertisers who want to show ads on mobile phones had just one choice – text ads. Now they can also run banner ads – or as Google calls them "mobile image ads." They are like regular banner ads but smaller.
All of the mobile image ads are keyword-targeted. You pay only when someone clicks on the ad (unlike many others that charge per impression or how many times your ad is viewed). There are four sizes of banners to choose from: (305 x 64), (215 x 34), (192 x 53), (167 x 30). The ads display the URL that they go to and the links must go to a mobile web page.
Here's an unedited video of a chat with the developer of Google mobile ads – in true geek style. According to Google clickthrough rates for these ads are good and competition for eyeballs is lower because there is only one displayed per page.
If you have mobile web pages and want to display mobile image ads on your pages, you must update your AdSense code. Then you'll make money each time someone clicks on a mobile ad. This might be like the beginning of the web – get in early and you'll be ahead of everyone else. Especially in countries that are more likely to use their phones to get online than use a PC.
Mobile image ads are currently available in Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Russia, Spain, the UK, and the US.

Kate Moss in Isabel Marant
Kate Moss was spotted leaving her home in London, England. She returned to her love of leather pants and chose to wear her black leather Isabel Marant Soan Trousers. I love these on her. It has a great cropped length and slouchiness that is the perfect fit on her and I love how she styled them here as well. All black (of course) but with a gray blazer. I wonder if Kate is planning on changing later on in the day? It looks to be a pair of jeans in her purse.
Isabel Marant has really transformed the look of the typical motorcycle pants/jeans. Hers have a rectangular, quilted padded knee instead of the usual pair that we would see by Balmain and many others. Which ones do you prefer?

Heidi Klum in Isabel Marant
Heidi Klum was spotted at the Fredric Fekkai Salon in West Hollywood, California to tape a segment for AOL. Heidi wore the Isabel Marant Pliro Trousers for the taping. I really like the fit of these on Heidi, even more on her than on Kate Moss. I think it may be pairing them with the heels. They look more flattering the way they are styled here.
It also looks like Heidi changed the laces on hers as well. They look thinner than the ones that they originally come with. I really do like these pants. I hope to get even more sightings in them on more people. Maybe on Kate Bosworth? I would love to see how she would style them. You can click here to purchase these pants at Net-A-Porter for $455.

Kate Moss in Balmain
YES!!! Kate Moss is back in her khaki suede Balmain jeans. She was caught leaving her home in London, England. I just love everything about these. The motorcycle style, the zipper (length and placement), the color and the material. They are just one of the best that I have seen. Everything just works so well together. Also, Kate always styles them amazing when she is spotted out in them.
I noticed that Kate seems to be going through a heels phase right now. She seems to be loving the minimal to no platform styles over her flat ankle boots lately. She has worn a couple of different pairs with cap-toes and now these reptile skin ones. I wonder if she just goes through her closet and realizes that she hasn't worn a few in a while.
Here is also some great news! Balmain will be launching a new diffusion line for both men and women! Everything will be at a more affordable price point and will be named after the founder, Pierre Balmain. I cannot wait to see what is in it. I hope their are zipper jeans, actually my only need for this line. Great news is that the first collection will be out as soon as September! How many of you are excited?
Siwy Denim Fall 2011 Collection
Kate Moss helped to put Siwy Denim on the map for designer denim and she was recently spotted wearing a piece from the Fall 2011 collection last week. Designer Michelle Siwy describes the collection as being softer than previous years collections. You can view a video of her describing the collection and see some images below.

Re: Moto G?carlh Oct 29, 2013 7:45 PM (in response to iharley)
We're still hoping for a Moto G announcement from RW this month... hey RW - Trick or Treat!!!
Re: Moto G?glarepate Nov 12, 2013 2:05 PM (in response to iharley)
It may be that the release party for the X is timed to coincide with the announcement of the G:
Thank you for your interest in Moto G™. Please tune in on YouTube or Google+ to join our livestream and find out more about our exciting news.
London 2 pm
São Paulo 12 pm
Toronto/New York 9 am
Mexico City/Chicago 8 am
Re: Moto G?donp.p Nov 12, 2013 3:32 PM (in response to iharley)
Between the subsidy by Republic and the trade in of Defy towards the X, X may come out cheaper to us unless one or both also apply to the Moto G.
Re: Moto G?glarepate Nov 13, 2013 1:46 AM (in response to donp.p)
Same thought occurred to me. And the rumored price on the DVX/G has been climbing from the $180 to $215 range in the latest leakage.
Get the X for net $199 with JB trade up or the G for a newly rumored retail price of $265 if it's not eligible and not discounted.
Wut's a geek ta do?
Re: Moto G?carlh Nov 13, 2013 1:57 AM (in response to glarepate)
Have faith. Remember that Republic is selling the Moto X way cheaper than anyone else's off-contract price. Whatever the off-contract price for the G, Republic will very likely undercut that significantly as well. And since the G runs JB, it should be eligible for the JB rebate.
Re: Moto G?dawnw Nov 28, 2013 11:27 AM (in response to iharley)
I am hoping the G is announced soon!
Others in my family want RW service but don't want the Moto X as it is pricier.
I hope too that they allow for the $100 turn in rebate of an older Motorola. We have a few older Motorolas from that list we can get rebates for.
Re: Moto G?mike_in_dallas Nov 28, 2013 11:44 AM (in response to dawnw)
It probably wont be out until after the first of the year from every thing I've seen.
Re: Moto G?dawnw Nov 28, 2013 11:52 AM (in response to mike_in_dallas)
First of the year is ok, although I hope they announce it a couple of weeks ahead of time, like they did the Moto X, so we can prepare.
I just looked at the Moto G and it comes in 8gb and 16gb. I really hope RW offers the 16gb as it is only $20 more.
Still wondering if it is qualify for the $100 rebate from Motorola though.
Re: Moto G?paralegal76 Jan 29, 2014 10:56 PM (in response to iharley)
Come to think about it, I don't think it's going to be Moto G. It's going to be totally something different. And I don't think it's going to be during the 1st Quarter. On RW page for Facebook, I had commented on one of their posts that we're all getting a little antsy and they posted back saying that it's a little too early in the year to get antsy. So that says something right there that it's going to probably be in their 3rd or 4th Qtr. Maybe at the end of the 2nd Qtr.
Unless they are getting excited but are really having to really keep things hidden until they can release the dates.
Re: Moto G?battierpeeler Feb 1, 2014 4:38 PM (in response to paralegal76)
sarah said by the end of q1 so no.
Re: Moto G?paralegal76 Feb 3, 2014 7:23 AM (in response to battierpeeler)
I hope you're right. I would be really sweet to get the Moto G and costs much less than the Moto X. Granted that the Moto X has so much more to offer.
Re: Moto G?mikec.uq3m0k Feb 8, 2014 11:01 PM (in response to paralegal76)
True, there is a big difference between the X and the G but the G is no slouch. Not by a long shot.
And for the price the G is selling at it is a bargin if there ever was one.
I know use a GSM unlocked MG on StraightTalk as my work phone and it is a great phone. And coming from me about a Motorola phone is saying something. Because until I bought my MotoX from Republic Wireless I despised Motorola phones. Every single phone I have ever purchased in the past 15 years that had Motorola in the name was a POS.
Every one. The MotoX broke that chain. I love this phone. And because it was such a awosme phone I gave the MotoG a chance and it too was a GREAT phone. Not a MotoX. But a great phone coming from Motorola and for 200.00 a darn good phone.
Verizon has released the MG at 100.00 and USCC also at 100.00. I see RW also hitting that 100.00 price tag. And if they do. I will be buying three of the MGs and putting them on the 5.00 a month plan, adding them to my GV acct and I won't miss my OBIHAI acct.
True my OBI acct is free right now. But for 15.00 a month I would have guarantied service on three phones that were all more than just phones. 15.00 for unlimited talk and text and what WiFi data I needed on actual smart phones.
Try buying something comparable and it will cost many times more. Just for the hardware.
Re: Moto G?mikec.uq3m0k Feb 3, 2014 2:14 PM (in response to paralegal76)
Unless plans changed because of the DVX leak. And RW has done a extremely good job of keeping a lid on it, it looks like the next will probably be the MG.
Not knowing what the phones beyond that may be problematic because of the recent sale of Motorola, but I would think if they have things in motion for phones to be released and those phones are slated to be coming from Motorola. Then I would think RW would still be getting those phone.
Noticed this today while checking my work phone. MotoG serviced through StraightTalk BYOP Sim. Have the ST app installed from the Play store. It identifies my MotoG as a "Motorola DVX XT 1032"
Just thought that was interesting.
Re: Moto G?creativerachel Feb 5, 2014 5:33 PM (in response to paralegal76)
I think a new phone will be announced within a month. RW reps on their Facebook page have gone from answering the "When are new phones coming?" question with "soon" to "very soon".
Re: Moto G?jben Feb 5, 2014 5:39 PM (in response to creativerachel)
Very Soon
Another common term implemented by Blizzard often misleading players into excitement for future content. "Very Soon" is guaranteed to arrive between now and the end of time with a higher chance of arriving on the "now" half of the time table. Although this means closer to now than "soon" there is no guarantee that you will live long enough to see the content finally release.
- Now ←-------------- Very Soon -------- Soon -------- Soon-ish ---------------→ End of Time
Re: Moto G?paralegal76 Feb 7, 2014 7:21 AM (in response to jben)
Just read an answer on RW's Facebook page...a new one to add to your list...Not too much longer. So we must be getting really close.
Re: Moto G?jben Feb 7, 2014 10:40 AM (in response to paralegal76)
So we now have a timeline
- This fall
- Soon (sometime October or November)
- Very Soon (between Now and the End of time)
- Not too much longer
So all we need to define is 'too'?
(I just asked Google Now, but she didn't give me a straight answer, and my real Google search resulted in About 5,030,000,000 results)Ben ~ user since 2012 ~ not a Republic employee
Re: Moto G?paralegal76 Feb 7, 2014 11:39 AM (in response to jben)
Yeah, but I would say Not too much longer is between Now and Very Soon. LOL
Re: Moto G?matthewc Feb 7, 2014 1:37 PM (in response to jben)
LOL Ben, so that means you have just enough time to read through all those results, before "very soon" happens.
Re: Re: Moto G?ejb9925 Feb 7, 2014 2:52 PM (in response to jben)
So all we need to define is 'too'?
Doesn't matter how we define "too", or any other word. What we need, is to determine how RW defines words for use here. Seems they've attached their own meanings to quite a few that we've all been using incorrectly, apparently. Soon, promise, Q3, Q4, update, quickly, customer service, commitment - all seem to have alternate meanings in the World of Republic.
Re: Moto G?ellingson Feb 7, 2014 3:19 PM (in response to ejb9925)
Throwing out wild guess here, so please excuse.
Since the two phones (X and G) are almost identical internally, I'm guessing that they are holding back on the Moto G as they correct the outstanding issues still left in the Moto X. Once the main issues are squashed, the updated code will be put on the Moto G phones as they head out the door. Otherwise, they have to fix the problems for two phones in the wild, rather than one and then making sure it is a smooth launch for the G. -- For those who have been through the Optimus to Defy XT to Defy XT dual band to Moto X transitions... you probably agree that each has been better than the last. I think they are trying for a near perfect Moto G rollout.
I'd also venture that they were waiting until all the Defy XT stock was sold before releasing the G.
So, with only a couple of Moto X issues still out there (MMS & Voicemail primarily... but improving the WiFi-Cell handoff detection may be in there too)... and all the Defy XT's having been sold out just a few weeks ago... I think the G will be around soon.
Re: Moto G?ellingson Feb 7, 2014 3:41 PM (in response to ellingson)
Oh.. and thought of another good reason they may be waiting... KitKat! If they get the code approved by Sprint... the G might roll out with it already installed. Saving them from having to do an OTA upgrade (both expensive and not without some users having hiccups). --- oohhhh... I'm ready for some KitKat on my X. I've been just itching to try out NFC payments at McD's and such around here.
Re: Moto G?mikec.uq3m0k Feb 8, 2014 11:11 PM (in response to ellingson)
Lots of people are itching to try NFC.
But know that NFC has been an identity theifs friend on the the east and west coasts for many months now.
Identy theifs have readers that can scan your identity, credit information etc off your phone from less than 30 feet.
They don't need to be near you. You don't need to do anything to your phone. If the NFC function is turned on. Your phone is vulnerable and it can be compromised. It along with all your credit data and ID.
NFC is not something people should use like banking on line.
Banks are not how peoples identities get compromised. It is peoples Personal computers that get compromised. And banked get blamed.
Re: Moto G?jumphour Feb 7, 2014 4:35 PM (in response to ellingson)
Are they similar? I read that the quad core processor they use in the G is slow, and different than the one the X has, and it has half as much RAM, and a not-very-good 5MP camera. Should be fine for beginners, though.
Re: Moto G?paralegal76 Feb 7, 2014 4:43 PM (in response to jumphour)
You get what you pay for and if it is slow, it will be the first Android I've ever owned. I do like Android so much better than the Iphones for sure.
Re: Moto G?carlh Feb 7, 2014 5:18 PM (in response to jumphour)
"half as much RAM" = 1 GB which is plenty for all but the most hard-core Android users.
"slow" = 4 cores @ 1.2 GHz. Not too shabby at all.
Translation: The Moto G should tear things up compared to the Defy XT which had a single core @ 1.0 GHz and 512MB RAM.
Re: Moto G?jumphour Feb 7, 2014 5:45 PM (in response to carlh)
Oh, it most certainly is gonna be a speed demon compared to the Defy XT! It's gonna be rockin' for most people. I was just thinking about a CNET review where it said the 4 core processor was slow compared to the 2 core in the X. But I guess no one is gonna be doing hard-core 3D gaming and such on it anyways. It's supposed to be a fantastic phone, and they say the build quality is great. I like the covers you can get, too.
Re: Moto G?mikec.uq3m0k Feb 8, 2014 11:13 PM (in response to jumphour)
Owning a MotoG I can tell you it works for the common person as well as the MotoX. There are some things the G can't do that the X can. But the G is no slouch. You will not be disappointed in it.
Re: Moto G?davet.ar3bol Feb 19, 2014 10:24 PM (in response to mikec.uq3m0k)
I hope they get the price point right
Re: Moto G?paralegal76 Feb 8, 2014 10:23 PM (in response to ejb9925)

Re: Moto G?m-sting-m Feb 7, 2014 10:51 AM (in response to jben)
As a huge fan of Blizzard I guess I'm just used to waiting. (Currently waiting for the soon™ to be released Blizzard DOTA Blizzard Heroes Heroes of the Storm). So Republic (and all the waiting and pushed back deadlines) suits me just fine.
Re: Moto G?battierpeeler Feb 7, 2014 4:08 PM (in response to iharley)
i'm hoping for an announcement on or very close to the dates for mobile world congress. 24th - 27th feb.
well i'm hoping for sooner.. but i mean the end of Q1 is only a month after that so it's all pretty 'soon' relatively.
Re: Moto G?battierpeeler Feb 23, 2014 7:29 AM (in response to battierpeeler)
welp 19 hours until MWC kicks off
Re: Moto G?paralegal76 Feb 9, 2014 12:38 AM (in response to iharley)
I think I will come back in a month or two and hopefully they will have announced something by then. You all take care of yourselves during that time.

davefoster Stayed at Siemreaprooms gh quite by accident as I was actually staying in the Fivestarangkor guesthouse that was previously run by the owner Phil, but the fivestar was totally flooded by typhoon Ketsana so Phil transferred us to this new place of his which he is calling Siemreaprooms guesthouse (he still did not have the new sign up when I left). Apart from the flooding disaster I could see why Phil was moving location. Siemreaprooms gh is much newer with nice bathrooms, very clean rooms, and with a nice living area at the front of the place (Phil had plans to do a bar and restaurant at the front but at the time I was there he had not got around to doing it yet). Overall: The location was fantastic, very clean, great value, needs more facilites but great service. Location: Location was fantastic, and it took me only 3 minutes to walk to the Old market and centre of town. Cleanliness: Very clean rooms, very clean reception and lobby area, linen very clean and bathrooms very clean. Value: I paid 8$ for a single fan room which I thought was excellent value for the location and service. Facilities: It did lack services such as restaurant and bar but then again it had just opened and I think it opened unexpectantly. Old market and pub street are so close so maybe I would probably not of used the restaurant even if they did have one. Service: The service was great, Phil was very helpful with great information, staff were helpful, Ty my tuk tuk driver was great and a good laugh. Friendly atmosphere as well. I would definitely recommend this place to friends.

Re: nightlife during the weekdays
According to
the two nightclubs in Tenby are open every day. One (Jammos) has no website, the other (The Sands, think this might actually be in/near Saundersfoot) has a website with little useful information.
I suggest you phone them to find out opening days/hours and so on. I suspect they are open during the week at this time of year, if only for one or two nights.

Re: nightlife during the weekdays
Jammo's is now renamed DJ's and has a website:http://www.djsnightclub.co.uk/. They're open Tuesdays, Fridays & Saturdays. It's only about 1/4 mile from Kiln Park, so very handy.
The Sands nightclub is in Saundersfoot (about 3 miles away): http://www.sandsnightclub.com/
There's another club in Pembroke (about 8 miles away), called Paddles, but expensive taxi journeys ........
