  • The Big News This Week Is That the Israeli Media Is Reporting That Avaya
    March 2012 Volume 28 Dear Subscribers, The big news this week is that the Israeli media is reporting that Avaya is set to buy Israeli videoconferencing manufacturer RADVISION for between $200-$250MM which has triggered a 19% increase in the price of RADVISION’s stock. Neither side has confirmed the transaction. The move would make perfect sense for Avaya which is currently owned by private equity powerhouses Silver Lake and TPG Capital. Silver Lake also owns AVI-SPL, the largest telepresence and videoconferencing systems integrator in the world. AVI-SPL recently purchased telepresence and managed service provider Iformata Communications giving AVI-SPL its own VNOC and nascent telepresence and videoconferencing exchange capability. Silver Lake also owns Sabre who provides the back end reservation systems for airline flights and travel management companies. Sabre recently announced that it would be adding virtual meeting reservations to its global scheduling and delivery system AND also announced a partnership with shared workspace provider Regus to add access to their 1200+ publicly available telepresence and videoconferencing rooms in 550 cities to Sabre’s Virtual Meeting Network. So… now add a capable videoconferencing endpoint and infrastructure capability to the Silver Lake / Avaya portfolio and you have a substantial collection of end-to-end videoconferencing capabilities. Of course hitting the market with another HD videoconferencing end-point isn’t going to set the world on fire, but given the fact that Avaya chairman and Silver Lake partner Charlie Giancarlo was the genesis for telepresence at Cisco I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a couple of key differentiators up his sleeve.

  • Council Follies Ill Foie Gras Be Banned from the Restau- the Abuse of Prisoners in Iraq
    30 CHICAGO READER | DECEMBER 9, 2005 | SECTION ONE [snip] You know what they’d say if they dared.

  • 6 Protest Tech: How New Tools Get Adopted, and Why They Spread
    The Good Drone: How Social Movements Democratize Surveillance • THE GOOD DRONE 6 PROTEST TECH: HOW NEW TOOLS GET ADOPTED, AND WHY THEY SPREAD Published on: Jul 30, 2020 License: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC-BY 4.0) The Good Drone: How Social Movements Democratize Surveillance • THE 6 PROTEST TECH: HOW NEW TOOLS GET ADOPTED, AND WHY THEY GOOD DRONE SPREAD Animal rights activist Steve Hindi films hunters. The logic is simple: most people would disapprove of violence toward animals if they were to see it for themselves. That’s why video is important to Steve and his organization, Shark Online (SHARK). The mostly volunteer organization has been documenting animal abuse through film for two decades. The group makes an annual pilgrimage to document Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe’s pigeon shoot. “We used to just pull up on the road and set up our cameras,” explained technician Mike Kobliska, “but then they pulled back, beyond our line of site. So we bought a small helicopter.” Eventually, the team replaced the RC helicopters with custom-built octocopters that allow them to fly directly over the shoot itself. From the air, they document the release and slaughter of the birds and the subsequent bulldozing of the carcasses (I have watched the footage; it’s not for the faint of heart). Directly over a pigeon shoot is a great place to film a pigeon shoot—but it is also a great place to get shot by pigeon shooters. That’s exactly what eventually happened: the hunters took aim and shot down the group’s octocopter, demonstrating the utility of the kinetic interdiction approach described in the previous chapter.

  • SHARK Sues California's Biggest Rodeo, and One of Largest in US for Failing to Report Animal Injuries; SHARK Video Documents Severe Animal Suffering at Salinas Rodeo
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, December 17, 2014 SHARK Sues California's Biggest Rodeo, and One of Largest in US for Failing to Report Animal Injuries; SHARK Video Documents Severe Animal Suffering at Salinas Rodeo Salinas, Calif. — SHARK is suing the California Rodeo Salinas – the largest rodeo in California and one of the largest rodeos in the U.S. – for failing to report animal injuries to the state veterinary medical board, as required under California law. “California law requires the reporting of rodeo animal injuries,” said Steve Hindi, founder and president of SHARK. “The intent was to make rodeos transparent. Instead, the law has not been enforced, but rather, manipulated to make rodeos appear harmless." Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) filed the suit (12-17-14) in Monterey County Superior Court on behalf of SHARK (SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness). Also named as a defendant is California Rodeo Salinas head veterinarian Tim Eastman. According to the suit, the defendants are accused of significantly under-reporting the number of animals injured at the California Rodeo Salinas. In the last two years, SHARK has video documented injuries to 41 animals —yet the rodeo has reported only four of those injuries. The California Rodeo Salinas holds an annual rodeo each summer in mid-July, drawing crowds of approximately 50,000 people. Events include steer wrestling, bull riding, calf roping, and team roping, all of which pose serious risks of injury to animals. The lawsuit notes that SHARK has attended the California Rodeo Salinas and videotaped more than 40 injuries to animals, including calves limping in pain after being dragged to the ground, and a horse with a tennis ball-sized wound on his neck.
