Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Series: Hutchinson on Atheism
Ian Hutchinson draws a sharp line between science and scientism. Scientism holds that all truth emerges from scientific study and explanation. Hutchinson, however, disagrees as he points to science's inability to establish truth about, for example, the events that have occurred in humanity's history on earth. He specifically engages Richard Dawkins assertions (from the book The God Delusion) that God is a scientific hypothesis that has been essentially disproved by science and that evolution explains religion as nothing more than a natural phenomenon.
Darwin: The Father of Modern Racism?
Alexander notes that while the biological theory of evolution is not itself an ideology, it has been used for ideological purposes since 1859 to defend everything from eugenics to capitalism to racism to atheism.
Ard Louis on Intelligent Design
In this short video, physicist Ard Louis expresses some doubts about Intelligent Design, noting that his primary resistance to the movement is based on theological grounds rather than science.
In the Face of Evidence
In today's video, Rev. Dr. Michael Lloyd points out that it's often the annoying things-- the things we want to deny and shut out-- that can actually improve and enlarge our worldview.
Beginning with the End in Mind
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
Series: From the Dust
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
What Do You Mean When You Say "Evolution"?
In this video clip, Oxford University biophysicist, Ard Louis posits that one of the reasons Christians are hostile to evolution is that they latch onto a particular definition, which puts it in conflict with their theological convictions.
A Biologist's Perspective
In today's video, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Sin and Seeking Truth
In today's video, theologian Alister McGrath discusses how we can make sense of the world in light of a fallen creation. One way, he notes, is to look for evidence from as many sources as possible, as science does.
Bad Science and Weak Theology?
Many scientists feel that the ID movement is an attempt to locate gaps in our scientific knowledge and then to presume those gaps can only be filled by intervention of an external intelligence. It is important to note that ID leaders do not view their work this way.
Distinctions, Part 2: "God as a Scientific Theory?"
Over the past two decades, the intelligent design movement has been working diligently to offer a parallel version of modern science, one that can scientifically show God at work in creation.
Denis Alexander on Restoring a Traditional Creation Theology
In this video, Denis Alexander remarks that it is an error to argue that evolution is inherently atheistic, as it takes the scientific theory and imposes one's personal ideology upon it.
Evolution and the Atheist Worldview
In this brief video Conversation, Os Guinness addresses the problem of holding a purely naturalistic worldview—one that does not coincide with many basic human concepts.
Fine-Tuning: A Deeper Story?
In this video, five notable scientists (John Polkinghorne, David Wilkinson, Rodney Holder, Peter Williams and Graham Swinerd) offer their perspective on the strengths and limitations of the fine-tuning argument as a pointer to God.
Reducing Irreducible Complexity, Part 3
I am asked all the time to explain, in a nutshell, why irreducible complexity is not a valid argument in favor of intelligent design. However, I have never heard anyone put it in a more cogent form than Oxford biophysicist Ard Louis in this video.

Activities related to Geographical Indications and regional food products
The AGRIDEA Geographical Indications pool emerged in 2002 out of the need to analyse the experiences developed through the initiation and creation of Swiss regional food supply chains and with the participation to several European research programmes on Geographical Indications and food supply chains.
Meanwhile, the team developed into a competence pool on Geographical Indications on an international level, with a broad range of product and services such as
- research and development projects,
- short-term expertises on GIs for enterprises and/or producers as well as for private or public institutions,
- advice in intellectual property, certification and marketing,
- training modules and seminars.
To sum up, we provide support to regional food products at three complementary levels: local, regional and international.
AGRIDEA recognises the fact that every situation is specific and that AGRIDEA can only play a supporting role for the field actors who fully appreciate and understand the cultural specificities behind their products. The members of the team have a passion for variety and quality of products and understand the importance of the protection of traditional and collective knowledge for rural development.
Supply chain management
We offer economic, market and marketing studies for enterprises and institutions that deal with GIs. We also provide institutions with feasibility study on specific products registration and their potential added value generation and we give internal governance and organisational advice to GI producers.
Origin product public policies
We provide tools and strategies that contribute to increase the local agri foods products income and to generate high value activities in rural areas. We provide long term technical back up or short-term technical advice on specific issues such as legal and intellectual property rights issues, registration policy and institutional framework, identification of priority sectors and/ or products.
Research projects
We take part in and animate several research and development projects concerning GIs. Our objective is to promote the GI system of added value repartition, which tries to maintain the generated added value in the local production areas and appears to be innovative and performing.
Training modules and seminars
We offer different kind of trainings on food quality policies, geographical indications, local supply chain and creation of added value...
You find here the people from AGRIDEA who work on supply chains and geographical indications.

Developed by: 4A Games
Published by: Deep Silver
Platforms: PC, Xbox 360, PS3
Release Date: May 14th, 2013
Prior to the release of Metro 2033 way back in March of 2010 I hadn't heard much of the game, never read or knew of author Dmitry Glukhovsky's novels bearing the same name, and despite these things I fell in love with the dark and depressing post-apocalyptic setting presented by Ukrainian based developer 4A Games. I can find flaws in just about any game I play, Metro 2033 itself also not excused, but the presentation of the game and the world that I was thrust into more than made up for my small criticisms at the time. When Gamercide was offered an opportunity to check out the newly released Metro: Last Light I immediately jumped at the chance to once again to don my gas mask and explore the incredibly detailed desolate landscapes.

Deep Silver today released Metro: Last Light: The highly anticipated sequel to the extraordinary Metro 2033 is now available in North America for PlayStation®3, the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows® PC. Within the rest of the world, the first person shooter will be available from May 17, 2013.
"We are happy to release Metro: Last Light and very confident with the quality of the game" said Menno van der Bil, International Commercial Director, Deep Silver. "I am sure that Metro: Last Light will meet the fans expectations, and Deep Silver is very proud to embrace such an outstanding title in its lineup."
Gamespot calls Metro: Last Light "astonishing" (9/10) and GameTrailers (9.1/10) hailed that Metro: Last Light is, "One of the best looking and most unique shooters out this year."
Metro: Last Light is a first person shooter developed by the Ukrainian studio 4A Games.
In the year 2034, a nuclear war has turned the world into a post-apocalyptic wasteland. In Moscow, the tunnels of the Metro have become a new home for the former inhabitants of the city. Within the catacombs, they fight for their survival, fending off hordes of hideous mutants born from the toxic atmosphere, as well as other factions desperate to take control of what little hospitable land remains. As they fight, they also search for a doomsday device that could be the key to their victory. A civil war is inevitable. During these dark hours, the players will embody Artyom, and become the last light for all of mankind.
The plot of Metro: Last Light was written by Dmitry Glukhovsky, acclaimed author of the novel Metro 2033 which inspired the creation of both video games. Glukhovsky personally contributed the vast majority of dialogue in Metro: Last Light. Glukhovsky's novels "Metro 2033" and "Metro 2034" have sold more than two million copies worldwide. In 2013, his latest book "Metro 2035" will be also available outside of Russia. The film rights for "Metro 2033" were bought by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), the movie is currently in development.

Do you say Shema before you go to sleep? I'm sure you do.
But perhaps you, like many, feel too tired at night to say the entire tefillah of Kri'as Shema as it appears in the siddur. If you do say the entire tefillah, you will recognize a pasuk in this week's Haftorah. And if you don't say the whole Kri'as Shema al Hamitah, perhaps after this column, you'll re-consider and find yourself connecting with the following very comforting pasuk.
The sand is rapidly running through the hourglass, as the centrifuges in the secret Iranian nuclear plants spin furiously. It is quite clear that the Iranians are on the brink of attaining nuclear capability, and we are well aware of the danger that would face Klal Yisroel in that event, chas v'sholom. All the sanctions, threats, and computer worm attacks do not seem to be stopping them, and it is terrifying. And when we see how vulnerable we are to terrorist attacks anywhere in the world, we become even more terrified.
Miriam spoke disparagingly about Moshe Rabbeinu. Because of this, she contracted tzaras, and for seven days she was sent outside the camp of Israel.
Samuel Scherr was a very successful businessman. He also was generous and would share of his wealth with others. In this way, he became the uncle of favor to his nieces and nephews, whom he would frequently shower with gifts.
Detached Or Unrelated
'He Made An Asheirah Tree Into a Ladder…'
(Eruvin 78b)
In this week's parshah we read about the individuals who were tamei and thus could not bring the korban Pesach. They approached Moshe Rabbeinu and asked him whether there was anything they could do to bring the korban. Ultimately, Hashem told Moshe that they should bring a korban a month after Pesach, on the 14th of Iyar.
Question: As Shavuot is fast approaching – a holiday on which we dwell on the story of Ruth and the origins of the royal house of David – I was wondering if you could help me resolve something. Some people say that Rabbi Yehudah HaNassi, the redactor of the six orders of the Mishnah and a scion of King David, purposely kept any mention of Chanukah and the Hasmonean kings out of the Mishnah because the Hasmoneans improperly crowned themselves and ignored the rule that all Jewish kings are supposed to come from the tribe of Yehudah. Is this true?
(Via E-Mail)
One of the thirty-nine prohibited melachot on Shabbat is carrying an object from a private domain, reshut hayachid, to a public domain, reshut harabim, or carrying an object a distance of four amot, six to eight feet, in a reshut harabim. The Torah does permit, however, carrying within the reshut hayachid itself. The definition of a reshut hayachid and a reshut harabim is crucial, therefore, to the laws of carrying on Shabbat.
Question: The Midrash notes that the song the Jews sang after they crossed the Red Sea ("Az Yashir") was unique; its likes had never been heard before in the world. Our Sages even refer to it as a shirah chadashah, a "new song." What made "Az Yashir" so unique and in what sense was it a "new song"?
The rav was not a wealthy man, but earned enough to live comfortably. He earned his money by serving as the rav of a religious community in Yerushalayim. He also received some royalties from sefarim he had written over the years. He was well known, and many people approached him for a berachah, advice and help. They were not turned away.
Tanach, the Hebrew Bible, is remarkable for the extreme realism with which it portrays human character. Its heroes are not superhuman. Its non-heroes are not archetypal villains. The best have failings; the worst often have saving virtues. I know of no other religious literature quite like it.
Last week I shared a letter from a newly observant Jewish woman. She and her husband reside in a small suburban community outside of Los Angeles. Last year they came to consult with me on a personal religious issue. While they were both ba'alei teshuvah, there was one fine difference between them. He had become a ba'al teshuvah earlier than she and was therefore somewhat more settled in an observant lifestyle.
I watch my children use blocks to build a large structure, observing the trepidation with which they add each block. As the structure becomes larger there is a greater risk of it collapsing, thus bringing an end to an hour of playful labor. I anticipate what will happen when one child adds a block to the top floor, compromising the integrity of the building and resulting in the collapse of the entire structure. The argument that ensues is predictable, as each child blames the other for "ruining" the fun. As an adult, I wonder about the need to attribute blame. Will assigning blame be instrumental in rebuilding the structure?
In this week's parshah the Torah discusses the halachos of when one steals from another and when confronted in beis din, the thief swears falsely with his denial that he stole. This parshah was already taught in parshas Vayikra; however, there are two halachos that the Torah adds in this parshah to this topic.
In order to carry from one's home into the street (even when the area is enclosed by a properly constructed eruv), the eruvin ceremony must be performed. This ceremony involves the placing of food in one designated home on behalf of all Sabbath observers in the enclosed area. In order for the eruvin ceremony to be valid, however, it must be performed on behalf of all owners of streets and homes in the enclosed area.
In this week's parshah we read about the individuals who were tamei and thus could not bring the korban Pesach. They approached Moshe Rabbeinu and asked him whether there was anything they could do to bring the korban. Ultimately, Hashem told Moshe that they should bring a korban a month after Pesach, on the 14th of Iyar.
In this week's parshah the Torah discusses the halachos of when one steals from another and when confronted in beis din, the thief swears falsely with his denial that he stole. This parshah was already taught in parshas Vayikra; however, there are two halachos that the Torah adds in this parshah to this topic.
In this week's parshah the Torah tells us that the bechorim were replaced by the levi'im to serve in the Mikdash. The Torah says that there were 273 more bechorim than levi'im. Those bechorim could not simply be replaced, and had to be redeemed. Hashem told Moshe that each bechor should give five shekalim to Moshe, who, in turn, should give them to Aharon and his sons. With that, they would be redeemed.
In parshas Behar the Torah reiterates some of the halachos of ribbis, and teaches several new halachos as well. The pasuk says that one should not take ribbis from his fellow, he should fear God, "v'chei achicha imach – and your brother shall live with you." The Gemara derives from the end of this pasuk that if one does charge ribbis and collects it, it must be returned.
This week I will be addressing a question from a previous column – with a new answer.
The pasuk in this week's parshah (Vayikra 23:14) says, "V'lechem v'kali v'karmel lo sochlu ad etzem hayom hazeh ad haviachem es korban elokeichem – And you shall not eat bread [etc.] on this very day until you bring the offering of your God." This pasuk teaches us that all of the five grains (wheat, spelt, rye, oats, and barley) are forbidden from the time they are harvested until after the korban omer is brought.
Both of this week's parshiyos discuss the various arayos – forbidden relationships. The Gemara in Kiddushin 67b states that if one attempts to perform kiddushin on one of the arayos, the kiddushin is invalid.

Reviewed by 2 customers Sort by Displaying reviews 1-2 Comments about Womens UK Gear GT-02 Cross Training Shoe: Bought these as I needed a good all-around trainer that I could use for casual running, walking, and at the gym. These are great. Very stylish and comfortable. Look good with jeans for everyday wear too. I normally wear a 7 wide but these fit fine in normal width, even with sport socks. I've had Ryka, Nike, Reebok, and Brooks in the past and these so far are the best all around. Pros
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Womens UK Gear GT-02 Cross Training Shoe: This is the first time I took a shoe out of a box and it fit like a glove. It is very supportive, strong, firm, but with excellent cushioning and flexibility. You can tell that whatever sport you do, you will be controlled, safe, but very comfortable. It is cool, non sweaty, and you can wear all day. This really is an amazing quality designed shoe. I do have a bit more narrow foot and some people that have a wide foot may feel too snug with the B medium width. I love that the heel stays in place but there is no rubbing. I have other UK shoes like the pt 03 desert and it is a wonderful shoe too. But this one tops them all for me. I hope this will be made in black or gray also. But I hope they never do the silly neon bright colors shoes have these days. To me they look cheap in colors like those. But this shoe has a wonderful classic color that will stay in style with no matter what you wear.

I'm pretty sure this is what Repo means by 'musical hacking'. I guess he hums while he does it, or something.
I think Bacon picked the wrong thread for this battle, because Repoman (who I like), deserved some ribbing for his initial post, and a page full of animated gifs is a respectable sendoff. I'd consider myself fortunate if people here gave enough of a shit to do that for me (please just one). But l agree with Bacon and Athryn that things have been really weird here recently. I honestly have no idea where any of this came from, and I'm not going to exacerbate it by pointing fingers, but the general level of discourse has room for improvement. I don't mind people being harsh; that's all in good fun. Like a couple of kids roughhousing. Adree and Bill are two of my favorite posters. But it bothers me when people throw the cognitive kill switch in a discussion and make it about identity rather than ideas. It bothers me when people intentionally misrepresent the opinions of others in order to score likes on a straw man. It bothers me when seven people dogpile on someone out of nowhere for expressing a dissenting opinion. And it bothers me when everyone jumps on BaconTastesGood after he points out that people have been doing an awful lot of this shit lately. I think this is fundamentally about how we deal with dissent. The anime-faces don't offer any dissent. We don't interact much, and they're all so innocently cheerful with their feels and pretending to be maids that going off on them would be like punching a kitten. They also never come to our forums. I'm not sure why. I don't think we should model our behavior on Brett. I honestly hope he's just fucking around with us for his own amusement, because every alternative explanation makes me really sad.
What Elyscape said. Ozzo, you seriously wrote Broken Forum slashfic? I mean, I know that's essentially what the maid game is, but... seriously? I... why?
It was in the Ruins of Light's Glory thread and it was out of line, and about ten people, myself included, told him so in variously appropriately inappropriate ways.
Well now you have to link it. Who did it star? Were you in it? If so, were you wearing your trenchcoat?
I don't have to link it and you're not the boss of me now and you're not so big. Besides, it would be a lot of effort for something that was clearly a completely failed attempt of Ozzo's to be funny which instead came off as creepier than anything I've ever posted, including the trenchcoat pictures.
Adree approached the locked door of Repoman's masturbatorium, his hand hovering hesitantly before the greasy wood, momentarily unsure of his purpose. He closed his eyes, taking a slow, shuddering breath, nervously chewing the corner of his lower lip, before he felt something give way inside of himself, like a dam bursting, and his restraint dissolved. He knocked, once, then again. As the door slowly opened, he was hit full in the face by a blast of musky air. Screwing up his courage, Adree raised his eyes to meet Repoman's, swallowed once, and said "Repo... I... I want to help you hack."
I haven't read it and I have no particular desire to read it and I know that people have to be willing to own what they post, but it strikes me that what's going down is a bit unfair to Ozzo.
I recall once on the Battlefront forums some contributors there worked a series of posts into "grogporn", which was basically WW2 slash fic. It was awesome. It was terrible. It was like 50 Shades with precise and accurate militaria details. "Topless, Hans polished the steel Krupp L45/75 barrel of his PzIV-F while Jurgen cleaned the zimmermilt body coating of snow" ...etc etc. Hmm, I think I shared too much.
To be fair, the shit slung that day was well-deserved, not helped by my failure to take responsibility when the first heads were raised. But I don't see what that has to do with this thread. At this point, I'm not even sure what the purpose of this thread is anymore, other than shipping Adree with a mysteriously absent RepoMan.
The Ruins of Light's Glory Slash Fiction thread, which I started as a response to all the gigglefuckery in the main forum game thread. I wasn't particularly upset by Ozzo's bit, as I'd clearly set a precedent with the first post.
I never saw that thread, as I haven't been in the LP forum in ages. I now see some of you... differently... not sure how I feel about that... Can I unsee it?
As an aside, I cannot claim credit for the prose in that first post (I have no idea what sort of horrible google query I must've done to find that).
I can see why this thread set people off and I guess I want to start out by saying that I don't feel that its the same as the situation with Gus as the power dynamics are different. There are similarities of course, namely in the predictable steady escalation of aggression in posting style which, for some posters, goes hand in hand with the one-upmanship in wit (or perceived wit) required to score a flame hi-score on the hidden thread scoreboard. That is ground that I think has already been covered elsewhere, if you are sensitive to reading expressions of latent rage then I think with some experience it is generally possible to predict it's arrival from context and a quick glance at the poster name before working yourself up into a deep sadness by reading the post. Why are the power dynamics different in this case? Repoman set himself up as a genuinely legitimate target for satire by opening a new thread, that not only put onto an unwarranted, attention drawing pedestal some small minutiae of his life (the relevant facts as they were at the start of the thread, a vague intent to post slightly less to Broken Forum, would be best expressed with humility and in passing - in a thread reserved for such small happenings) but also had undertones that touched on areas that are probably sensitive for many people who post on the forum. By which I mean that his remarks had a hinted at, but left unsaid, background that seemed to say that not only was he going to post less, he was going to do so because he had better things to be doing like talking to real people. And then to compound the underlying, and almost certainly unintended insult, he followed up with a message that he was playing less games, perhaps because he was growing up and getting into more mature activities. It probably doesn't need to be said why many posters might find those undercurrents unwelcome but I think it is always worth bearing in mind when you are posting that for some people the internet has entirely replaced real life communities, and for others it is the virtual communities where they can associate by interests and express themselves honestly that are more central in their lives than perhaps they have yet admitted in a culture that still, though increasingly half-heartedly, dictates that such things are abnormal. Plus many of us are already old, and almost to a man we still think games are worthy of our time on this earth, such as it is. Hint to grizzled grognard that maybe those game things are just for kids and isn't he a little to old for them, you know at his age; and you enter the long war, decades in the fighting and longer in the telling. I'm certainly not convinced that it was at all the intent behind the original post, many people are occasionally bad at expressing themselves on the internet, but the unwelcome undertones are there and I suspect that there are some people to whom those ways of thinking, even if they are only hinted at, feel like a direct attack. It is one thing to express yourself carelessly in a post in the middle of a thread, but quite another to draw attention to yourself through a new thread and then appear potentially insulting to the delicate regions of a significant portion of the community. Satire is there as a tool to deflate the appearance of self importance and pomposity and in this case I feel it was perfectly warranted. Words did then get taken to a moderately more personal place than was likely sincerely and deeply felt, which probably wasn't necessary considering that many of us also have the, on balance, counter-indicative context of lengthy posting histories, but it is after all the season for unnecessary rows.
No, I just thought it was ludicrous, overly self-important, and worthy of mockery. Worthy of mockery, but not deep psychological analysis. Honestly, if any more hands are wrung here, they may require medical attention.
So if I get this right, Repoman posts a "look at me" thread announcing he won't be as active, people give him a bit of a ribbing about it (which he should have seen coming since he's been part of the community long enough) and we get 5 pages of arguing over said ribbing? Were we due our monthly community drama or something? What an odd thread.
I got shitty presents this year, but this thread makes up for it. Thanks all! Bahirimon is clearly getting coal next year. You bad boy, you.
Reading this thread has made me decide to have pancakes for breakfast. Nice fluffy ones, with real maple syrup and not that Aunt Jemima shit.
Oh my god, those are amazing. If I can quickly knock out a "I <3 Calistas" avatar, I will be doing so.
But yeah, that thread did make me rather uncomfortable at the time, so I mostly just ignored it and concentrated on the game, which was quite fun (especially since I was right the whole time and none of you idiots listened to me). As for this thread, the stuff in the first couple of pages seems pretty par for the course 'round these parts. I've enjoyed reading through it, though. Drama Llama Holding Pen, indeed.
Holy crap. I made it through a couple pages of this, but not sure I can do anymore of this predictable escalation of silliness regarding a harmless post. Although I do love how colorfully you all can defend/attack each other with ever increasing levels of insanity. On a similar note, I was going to make a thread saying I was going to try to look at less lesbian porn*, but I broke the pledge before I finished posting the thread. *Before I got to this final page, this was going to be "stop masturbating, but didn't make it to the end of this post", but then I noted we already have a 'jerk off' reference and I didn't want this post to appear derivative.

For those moms whose children have successfully finished their 2011-12 school year, I congratulate you. You made it! This month has truly been a test of strength for all of the moms that I know. Why is it that so many activities must be crammed into the last 4 weeks of the school year?
My goodness, I have never been on so many field trips in my life! I have never volunteered so much or donated so much money for food and gifts as I have this month. Is it that more is being asked of us or am I just getting old? I tell ya, I am exhausted from all the running around!
But I know I'm not alone. I have heard the gripes and the groans from my maternal colleagues. On top of our everyday responsibilities to our families and households, we are called upon to go that extra mile. And we do.
As my first line of defense, I went out and bought one of those huge planning calendars and used my brightest markers and best handwriting to fill out the activities for May. Then I hot-glued it to the pantry door in the kitchen – at eye level – so I could not claim that I didn't see or know about the upcoming events. That thing was so overloaded with words, that I couldn't decipher it from afar. But upon closer inspection, all the work involved became clear, sometimes to my dismay.
I pride myself for not overloading my family with extra-curricular activities. I think downtime is a good thing. But this spring, my daughter signed up for swim team and my son is participating on a select basketball team. You wanna talk about full schedule (how do the others do it)? My husband and I are taking the kids to practices 5 times a week and spending our weekends at competitions. I suspect that the combination of the extra-curricular and school activities is what sent me over the edge.
I have sewed costumes and made alterations. I have shopped for drinks, snacks and gifts and carried them inside. I have packed special sack lunches and swimsuits with towels and sunscreen. I have set up chairs, cleaned tables and swept up. I have served food to teachers. I sorted through old digital photos for a class project. I worked the book fair. This in addition to h-o-m-e-w-o-r-k and a book report! On and on … Sound familiar?
But! here's the upside: I got to be together with my kids during school hours and see them interact with their peers. I saw them on stage playing their roles, all nervous and cute. I learned interesting facts about a local sculptor at a museum visit. I got to witness a large group of sixth graders "in action" while hiking the greenbelt. I chatted with other moms at a class picnic and got to know them better. I brushed up on my baking and appetizer-making skills. And as an added bonus: I caught up on all my volunteering for the year!
As they say, all's well that ends well. And we have ended this school year on a good note. Here's to summer! Enjoy – you deserve it!

Recording, logging and investigation
A huge range of information and data sources feed into operational ATM decision making. ATM technology supports operators as they integrate and interpret this data and information, and then take the required actions.
It's the real-time processing of information and data flows that drives daily operational decisions, but a historical record of all inputs and actions is also vital to ATM success.
This record serves three critical purposes:
- Compliance with legal requirements
- Support for investigation of relevant incidents
- Analysis of decisions and actions for training purposes and performance review
Only a state-of-the-art recording and logging system can provide the data necessary to satisfy the needs of analysts, trainers and investigators.
The Frequentis DIVOS 3 log is such a recording system.
Designed to respond to the specific needs of ATM environments, it offers synchronised recording, analysis and playback of all relevant information (including voice, screen, radar and any other data of interest).
DIVOS 3 log scores at three levels:
1. Implementation and cost
The product features a fully-scalable architecture and integration tools that allow it to slot seamlessly into your communications solution, regardless of size and origin. Integration with Frequentis products, like the VCS 3020, reduces total cost of ownership by sharing hardware components and lowering installation and maintenance costs.
2. Functionality
DIVOS 3 log can record and monitor any kind of voice and data media across hundreds of channels. An optimised browser-based user interface gives quick and clear access to any part of that recording, with optimised playback and data visualisation tools. State-of-the-art security features ensure the safety of the recorded data itself, secure and flexible management of access to that data, and protection from data manipulation.
3. Data retrieval
Recording alone is, however, insufficient to meet modern ATM needs. DIVOS supports information retrieval in various formats or as customisable tables for easy review and further processing.

Availability: In stock
* Required Fields
Moccasins are lightweight and unstructured. They are not designed for very rough ground, deep puddles or sports activities.
Our suede normally just needs a brush with a medium stiff nylon brush – avoid metal or brass bristles. You can use a suede cleaner and a water / stain repellent. You'll find our own Care Kit in the Accessories section. Leather moccasins like a little neutral polish and a wipe over with a soft cloth.
Click here for more information on shoe care.
Our moccasins are true to size. While the box and product that's delivered will show a US size you order from us in your UK or EU size.
If you normally take a half size then you should order the next whole size up. Many of our moccasins have a functional lace that can be pulled in or let out. Putting in a thin inner sole will take out about half a size.
Moccasins are designed to stretch to fit, so they should feel snug when new. They won't stretch in length so ensure you have enough room for your toes.
