Re: [hackshackersboston] Hacks/Hackers Boston: 2 notes of interest

Dear Matt, 

I was overwhelmed to read about your/our collaboration with Al Jazeera, and your invitation to participate in their/your/our challenge! By doing so you have been given a legitimation to, and have been promoting a so-called media organization, whose operation is based on distortion of the truth, staging events, enticing against Israel (even from its base in Israel!), and using the media as a channel for propaganda for the terror organization Hamas!!! Are you willing to sell your integrity and others' for $25,000?! Please reconsider.

Sincerely yours,

Dr. Dania Shapira, Boston/Israel 

PS. Attached please find a report regarding the entire family that "was killed by an Israeli airstrike," which was not really dead, and, apparently, the father "who was there to pray" was actually a Hamas member, participating in their early morning meeting. Al Jazeera has made a whole show of the 12 side-by-side "graves" of the "dead" members of the family...

There are many more staged events, including at the Shifa Hospital and at the UNRWA school. Here is a link to the latter staging:

That's the main reason why no one can believe the reports of the sole source (Hamas) of the dead and injured numbers, not to mention that most of the casualties were and are Hamas terrorists, whose uniform were taken off in order to be counted as civilians!

Al Jazeera has started an innovation challenge w $25,000 in cash prizes, focused on nonlinear narrative

http://bit.ly/1tiV1IE

Our group [within Al Jazeera] has kicked off its first major community initiative with an online innovation challenge. This is a competition aiming to surface new ideas about storytelling from a global community of software designer, technologists, and developers.

In addition to the joys of collaboration, innovation, and recognition, we’re offering substantial rewards, including the possibility of future incubation of your idea, invitations to big innovation events in the future, and $25,000 in cash prizes for the winning submissions.

The topic of exploration for this first Challenge will be nonlinear narratives.

  • Hi, Our Harvard based entrepreneurship group will be hosting an event that might be of interest to your members. The event will be held at the Harvard University Biological Laboratories Room 1080 on August 27.
  • Our Tech MeetUp group is hosting a panel on starting a high-tech company. Join us on Aug. 27th at Harvard (Biolabs 1080 - 16 Divinity Ave, Cambridge) at 6:30PM.
  • Our entrepreneurial panel consists of four Boston-area rock stars: Brian Gilman (PerkinElmer), Jan M. Schorr (C2Sense), Eduardo Torrealba (Oso Technologies), and Sasha Biberman (Jisto). Please RSVP by 8/27 here: http://bit.ly/1t6O9hu
  • Refreshments provided. Also check out our Meetup group “Boston’s Entrepreneurs and Advanced Degrees Group” to stay posted on upcoming events:http://www.meetup.com/Bostons-Entrepreneurs-And-Advanced-Degrees-Group
  • Brian Gilman (PerkinElmer), Jan M. Schorr (C2Sense), Eduardo Torrealba (Oso Technologies), and Sasha Biberman (Jisto). Brian Gilman is the Director, Science & Engineering: Innovation Lab (IL) at PerkinElmer. Brian built his first company, a tropical fish farm at the age of 13 and has built more than three companies and teams who work at the intersection of business, science, and technology. His most recent firm, Wingu Inc., funded by Google Ventures, was successfully sold to PerkinElmer in late 2013. Prior to Wingu, Brian founded and SciLink, a social network for scientists, was a Team Leader at the Broad, and an engineer at Allaire (now Adobe). He is also an avid photographer. Jan M. Schnorr is the Chief Technology Officer at C2Sense, a recently launched food and agriculture sensor startup company. Until December 2013, he was a postdoctoral associate in the Swager laboratory (Department of Chemistry, MIT) where C2Sense's technology was developed. During this time, he prepared the launch of C2Sense with the support of a Deshpande Center Innovation Grant. Previously, he moved from his home town Frankfurt (Germany) to Cambridge, MA, in 2007 to do his PhD in the Swager lab. During this time, he has worked on functionalized carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube based chemical sensors. Schnorr has published 13 peer-reviewed papers including a highly cited review on applications of carbon nanotubes and is co-inventor of 6 patent pending CNT and sensor technologies. Eduardo Torrealba is the co-founder and CEO of Oso Technologies. During graduate school he worked with four friends to develop a soil-moisture monitoring platform called PlantLink. Eduardo received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Baylor University and his M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) through a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. He is currently on a leave of absence from the PhD program at UIUC to focus on Oso Technologies. Dr. Aleksandr (Sasha) Biberman received his Ph.D. degree from Columbia University, then held a postdoctoral researcher position at MIT, where he concentrated on commercializing integrated optical systems. He is the CEO of Jisto Inc., a company based in Cambridge, MA. Jisto creates an elastic compute cloud out of underutilized enterprise server resources, and increases their utilization. Jisto operates in on-premises data centers as well as private and public clouds, reducing computing costs over acquiring more hardware or cloud resources.
