Oskav co-founder, Jane Cave, jane(at)oskav(dot)com 07772 484404, has a long standing family history in manufacturing sunglasses and marketing high end consumer products. She has spent two years developing the Oskav range of 3D glasses along the same design and quality lines as high street fashion sunglasses. She claims, "Oskav 3D glasses offer superior visual experiences for cinema and passive 3D TV viewers. We expect demand to rise in line with the growth of 3D cinema. Last year there were over thirty five 3D movie launches. We want to become the dominant brand in the booming the market."

London (PRWEB UK) 5 February 2012

Until now, finding 3D glasses made along the same lines as high street fashion sunglasses has been mission impossible. Now, Oskav, a new UK startup, is on a mission to bring outstanding 3D experinces to millions of style conscious cinema and passive 3D TV viewers around the world. According to Oskav co-founder Mike O'Bren, mike(at)oskav(dot)com 07772 484404, "Film makers spend millions on producing 3D films that are completely undermined by cheap, throwaway 3D glasses. We think a market for high quality fashionable 3D glasses is building. The potential for sales in the millions is extraordinary and we want to be the number one brand in the market in the next 3 years. Our background in brand advertising and digital marketing will help us create a world class brand." Several 3D bloggers around the world are already picking up on the Oskav theme. Anton Belev, author of one of the world's most prolific 3D blogs, http://www.3dvision-blog.com, says, "I like more the classic designs for 3D glasses and the Oskav 3D glasses’ style is just ideal for every one else with such preferences, but it is not all about the design. The passive 3D glasses made by Oskav have very good technical specifications as well that ensure optimum quality." The high quality frames are designed along classic lines and it takes no fewer than 10 composite layers to construct each Oskav 3D cinematic lens. The site http://www.oskav.com has a shop featuring the launch range of 3D glasses. The price of £19.99 includes a free protective pouch and free UK 1st Class delivery.

As the Number of 3D Movies Increases, Oskav Launches the First Range of 3D Glasses to Blend High Street Fashion with ...

THE internet is a “fertile breeding ground for terrorism” and plays a part in most, if not all, cases of violent radicalisation, MPs said today.

Internet service providers should be more active in monitoring the sites they host and the Government should work with them to develop a code of practice for the removal of material which promotes violent extremism, the report said.

It comes as four radical Islamists – two from Cardiff – will be sentenced this week for plotting a major pre-Christmas terror attack on the London Stock Exchange after being inspired by the preaching of the recently killed extremist Anwar al-Awlaki.

Riverside brothers Gurukanth Desai, 30, of Albert Street, and Abdul Miah, 25, of Ninian Park Road, admitted preparing for acts of terrorism by planning to plant an improvised explosive device (IED) in the toilets of the London Stock Exchange.

While Omar Latif, 28, of Neville Street, Riverside, admitted attending meetings with the intention of assisting others to prepare or commit acts of terrorism.

Meeting points used by the group included Roath Park, Cardiff, and Cwmcarn Country Park, Caerphilly.

The nine-month inquiry by the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee found that the internet played a greater role in violent radicalisation than prisons, universities or places of worship, and “was now one of the few unregulated spaces where radicalisation is able to take place”.

But it added that a “sense of grievance” was key, and direct personal contact with radicals was a “significant factor”.

The Government’s counter-terrorism strategy should show that “the British state is not antithetical to Islam”, the committee said.

Keith Vaz, its chairman, said: “The conviction last week of four men from London and Cardiff radicalised over the internet, for a plot to bomb the London Stock Exchange and launch a Mumbai-style atrocity on the streets of London, shows that we cannot let our vigilance slip.

“More resources need to be directed to these threats and to preventing radicalisation through the internet and in private spaces. These are the fertile breeding grounds for terrorism.”

The al Qaida-inspired fundamentalist group wanted to send five mail bombs to various targets over the 2010 festive period and discussed launching a “Mumbai-style” atrocity.

A hand-written target list found at one of the defendant’s homes listed the names and addresses of London Mayor Boris Johnson, two rabbis, the American Embassy and the Stock Exchange.

The police counter-terror operation which led to their arrests was the biggest of 2010.

Mr Vaz went on: “The July 7 bombings in London, carried out by four men from West Yorkshire, were a powerful demonstration of the devastating and far-reaching impact of home-grown radicalisation.

“We remain concerned by the growing support for non-violent extremism and more extreme and violent forms of far-right ideology.”

He added that “a policy of engagement, not alienation” would prevent radicalisation and called for the Government’s counter-radicalisation strategy Prevent to be renamed Engage.

The committee also called for better information-sharing between prison bosses, the police and the UK Border Agency (UKBA) following the release of prisoners who have been convicted of terror offences.

But although several convicted terrorists have attended prisons and universities, “there is seldom concrete evidence to confirm that this is where they were radicalised”, it added.

Terror plot “lynchpin” Mohammed Chowdhury, 21, of Stanliff House, Tower Hamlets, and his London accomplice Shah Rahman, 28, of St Bernard’s Road, Newham, are expected to be sentenced to 18 and a half years and 17 years respectively.

The duo will only serve about six years because five are served on licence, prisoners only serve half their term as standard and they have already been behind bars for more than 12 months.

Desai and Miah will also be sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court.

A Home Office spokesman said: “Prevent is an integral part of our counter-terrorism strategy and aims to stop people from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism.

“Our new Prevent strategy challenges extremist ideology, helps protect institutions from extremists, and tackles the radicalisation of vulnerable people.

“Above all, it tackles the threat from home-grown terrorism on and off line. We are working closely with the police and internet service providers to take internet hate off the web.

“We are pleased the Home Affairs Committee and the witnesses who contributed to its report broadly support the outcome of the Prevent review and the revised strategy. This is an interesting report and we will consider its findings.”

Internet is a 'terror breeding ground' say MPs

British businesses are being warned of possible Internet breakdowns, data caps and "unavoidable" mobile phone problems during the London 2012 Olympics, in official advice from the Games organisers.

In a document on the Games website entitled "Preparing your business for the Games", the document warns that Internet connections could be lost due to surges in the numbers of people logging on at peak times.

"It is possible that Internet services may be slower during the Games or, in very severe cases, there may be drop-outs due to an increased number of people accessing the Internet," it warns.

"In addition, Internet service providers may introduce data caps during peak times to try and spread the loading and give a more equal service to their entire customer base.

"However, this has not yet been confirmed by these ISPs and we hope to have more information nearer to Games time."

Mobile phone coverage could also be disrupted, the document warns.

"Additional capacity and coverage for mobile phone networks is being put in around Games venues. This will overlay the existing coverage provision and existing customers can expect a 'normal' service during Games-time," it says.

"However, at times of peak demand it is unavoidable that mobile networks may be slowed down by higher volumes of traffic.

"Voice, email and low-data traffic are unlikely to be affected, but it may be difficult to download larger content such as files or images."

The government has encouraged London businesses to let staff work from home or stagger their shifts to ease congestion on the transport network during the Games, which will take place from July 27 to August 12.

But more people working at home could lead to the risk of them being less effective due to Internet traffic problems, some experts have warned.

Olympics: Britain warns of possible Internet meltdown

LONDON — Internet service providers should do more to prevent the Web from playing a role in promoting violent extremism, British lawmakers said in a report published Monday.

The Internet has become an important factor in nurturing the extremist threat, surpassing universities and prisons as a place where dangerous ideas are developed and traded, the lawmakers said.

"We remain concerned by the growing support for nonviolent extremism and more extreme and violent forms of far-right ideology," the Home Affairs Committee said in its report, which follows a nine-month inquiry.

Britain has been involved in a number of terror plots. On July 7, 2005, four suicide bombers killed 52 people in synchronized attacks on London's transit system. A year later, U.S. and British intelligence officials thwarted one of the largest plots yet — a plan to explode bombs on nearly a dozen trans-Atlantic airliners. Last week, four British men fueled by the words of a U.S.-born Muslim cleric pleaded guilty to involvement in an al-Qaida inspired plot to bomb the London Stock Exchange at Christmastime.

The Home Affairs Committee said the Internet "was now one of the few unregulated spaces where radicalization is able to take place" and played a greater role in promoting violence than prisons, universities or places of worship — a pointed rebuke to other government officials who had identified those areas as high risk.

"More resources need to be directed to these threats and to preventing radicalization through the Internet and in private spaces," said Keith Vaz, chairman of the committee. "These are the fertile breeding grounds for terrorism."

Lawmakers urged Internet service providers to be more active in monitoring the sites they host and work with the government on developing a code of practice to remove any material that promotes violence extremism.

But civil liberties campaigners slammed the suggestion, saying courts — not "unaccountable officials" — should decide when to block online content.

"The level of monitoring required to police such a scheme would mean a significant invasion of every Internet user's privacy," said Nick Pickles, director of privacy group Big Brother Watch. "There is a serious risk that this kind of censorship not only makes the Internet less secure for law-abiding people, but drives underground the real threats and makes it harder to protect the public."

The committee directly challenged the view expressed last year by Home Secretary Theresa May, who said that universities and prisons are among the most vulnerable areas. May accused universities of complacency in tackling Islamic extremism on campus, saying educators had not been taking the issue seriously.

The new report says "there is seldom concrete evidence" linking the development of extremist views to universities.

It also warns of a threat from the far right — which it said consists mostly of "solitary, disaffected individuals" — rather than organized terrorist units — and called for better information-sharing between prison bosses, the police and the UK Border Agency following the release of prisoners who have been convicted of terror offenses.

Britain's Home Office said it would consider the committee's findings.

"We are working closely with the police and Internet service providers to take Internet hate off the Web," it said in a statement.
