“How could this owl, who was born in captivity, lived his whole life in a cage, how could he possibly survive? He's going to be dead in a few days. That's what everybody thought.” – Christine Mott In February 2023, a Eurasian eagle-owl named Flaco made headlines—and captured hearts—when he escaped from his small enclosure at the Central Park Zoo. Born in captivity and unable to fly or hunt, Flaco defied every expectation. In just weeks, he taught himself to soar across the Manhattan skyline, hunt for his own food, and live as freely as an owl could in a city of concrete and glass. For more than a year, New Yorkers spotted him perched in Central Park, on high-rises, even outside apartment windows—cheering him on as a symbol of resilience and freedom. Today’s guest, attorney and lifelong animal advocate Christine Mott, has immortalized Flaco’s story in her new children’s book, Free Bird: Flaco the Owl’s Dreams Take Flight . Told from Flaco’s perspective, the book celebrates courage, hope, and the right of all animals to live free—without cages or confinement—while gently encouraging young readers to see captivity through an animal’s eyes. This conversation is about Flaco’s extraordinary journey, the lessons he left behind, and how one small owl sparked big changes for animals in New York and beyond.

The first step in considering a Cloud Services Brokerage (CSB) model for your business or IT needs is to understand and formulate the business model. CSB is increasingly being utilized by IT organizations and providers as a means to centralize cloud governance while increasing service delivery agility and flexibility. This informative webinar addresses 5 key questions to consider when developing your CSB business case: Business Case Justification: Whom will I be operating the CSB for (e.g. Internal users, External customers and channels, or both) and what business issues should I be focusing on? Economic Model: What are the revenue gains and/or cost savings metrics and target results I should expect to achieve with a CSB? Vendor Management: How do I manage varying contracts, SLAs and integrations with disparate Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) being delivered via my CSB? Operating Model: What's the best approach for my organization in deploying and operating a CSB as well as supporting my users? Risk Mitigation: What are the business and technical risks with the CSB model, and how can I best mitigate them?
