I refuse to use a mobile phone and I'm all the happier for it
By John Naish
Weirdo? When would I ever get the chance to relax
My technology obsessed friend Richard rang my landline this week to make final arrangements for his 49th birthday bash: 'Have you still not got a mobile phone yet?' he asked, his voice dripping with disbelief.
No, I explained patiently (once again), I've not got a mobile and it's not a matter of 'still' or 'yet'.
That isn't a Luddite's last stand against progress. I simply find life and work generally far easier without carrying what my 90-something aunt rather quaintly calls a 'portable telephone'.
According to conventional wisdom, as a journalist I should be permanently plugged in to all the newest versions of every available communications gadget, sifting all the latest data like a good little information drone 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The trouble is, when would I ever find the space or time to stop, digest and reflect on every flashing, beeping, sensational thing that had flooded into my head?
And when would I ever get the chance to relax properly, to allow my body and mind to restore themselves and for my imagination to run - essential for any kind of creative work?
But whenever I try to explain this to anyone, I notice in their eyes a mixture of worry and condescension that says: 'Weirdo.'
Now, however, an ally has emerged in Professor Paul Dolan, an expert in psychology at the London School of Economics. He has warned that the everyday stress of using mobile phones may be sending us mad.
He argues we'd all be much more content if we turned off our mobiles and concentrated on friends and family rather than impulsively checking emails and text messages.
Enjoying human company is more rewarding than repeatedly looking at your phone, Professor Dolan told the Hay Festival.
He worries that the popularity of smartphones sees users constantly having their attention diverted from the people around them and towards these devices.
He further warns that unless people change their behaviour, they are putting themselves at risk of mental illness. This can develop, he believes, as a result of the constant nervous stress of checking phones and the distraction of switching their attention from one thing to another.
Chronic stress: There is a rise of a common hallucination called 'phantom phone vibration syndrome'
Professor Dolan isn't alone in blaming our addiction to smartphones for a range of modern ills.
In fact, just carrying the device around can cause chronic stress. This is amply shown by the rise of a common hallucination called 'phantom phone vibration syndrome'.
This, says Jeffrey Janata, director of behavioural medicine at University Hospitals in Cleveland, is an illusory sensation that your mobile phone is vibrating in your pocket when, in fact, no one is calling.
The mobile phone may not even be in your pocket. The false sensation is the result of constantly being in a state of anticipation, eternally expecting a call or text message.
There is even something called mobile phone insomnia - sleeplessness caused by the disruption of brainwaves during mobile-phone calls made before you go to bed.
James Horne and colleagues at Loughborough University's Sleep Research Centre have found that making mobile phone calls in the evening can dramatically reduce your chances of falling asleep easily.
One in five are wilfully late: They can reschedule dates and meetings at the last minute via mobile
His research found that when we hold a mobile phone to our heads while making a call, we experience a reduced level of brain waves called delta waves. These can remain inhibited for nearly an hour after the phone is switched off.
Delta brain waves are the most reliable marker of stage-two sleep, which precedes deep sleep. About half of total sleep consists of this stage, explains Horne.
He adds that the arousal effects of late-night calls may be similar to drinking a cup of coffee before bedtime, making people lie awake for twice as long before getting to sleep.
But some of the worst stress effects of mobiles arise through social habit. Despite the phones' promise of making daily life more convenient, they often make things more difficult.
A study by the silicon-chip company Intel has found that one in five people admit to being wilfully late because they can reschedule dates and meetings at the last minute via mobile, and three-quarters say that mobile-ownership has made them 'more flexible when meeting friends' (i.e., they are wilfully late, but lie about it).
Hence my friend Richard's anxious phone call. He wanted reassurance I was still going to be there for his birthday, rather than crying off at the last minute because a better offer had suddenly come up.
He hadn't worked out that, without a mobile, I wasn't going to get a last-minute better offer and then text him with an excuse. I'm just old-fashioned reliable.
I'm hardly a Luddite, though. Richard and I worked together building some of Britain's very first corporate websites. I well remember the derision we met with from corporate executives in the mid-Nineties as we tried to sell this new 'internet thingy' to them. Times do change.
I did once own a mobile. It was back in 1999. All it ever brought me was botheration - a constant deluge of interruption from people calling for information they could have found out for themselves (and would have done so in pre-mobile days), or to tell me things that I didn't really need to know.
I took the battery out, told the newspaper I then worked for that the phone was broken and said I would inform them when I'd returned to the airwaves. I never did.
Since then, over the years, people have developed varying responses to my mobile-less state. At first, they were condescending - why hadn't I caught on yet?
More recently, they have become disbelieving - how on earth do I manage?
In the years since I dumped the mobile, the volume of interruption that people experience has become ever greater. It has rapidly colonised all the hours of the day that were once considered personal time, free of stressful work demands.
Mobiles reduce delta wave levels: These brain waves are the most reliable marker of stage-two sleep
Sometimes, it can feel as though there is no escape. But there is. It requires a bit of self-discipline. I need to be near my landline during office hours when I'm working from home. Or, at least, I need to be near the landline at the times when colleagues or friends tend to call.
I need to be reliable. No last-minute excuses or disappearances from me. And I need my internet connection to work so that I can access emails when I'm at my desk and read news websites and journals online.
During my mobile- free time, when I am off the electronic radar, I look after my brain, letting it relax, think and recover from life working in the information-overloaded 21st century.
You will find me on my allotment or walking the South Downs, or riding a bike, or meditating, or simply reading a book.
I might even be having a long conversation with a friend in a pub - if they're not checking their smartphone.
In truth, though, I wouldn't be entirely averse to having a mobile - but only if we could all use them sensibly and with consideration for others' mental space and time.
But until we learn to use these toys responsibly, the personal stress and pressure are just too high a price for me to pay.

"Rawest Forest" by Martin Hagwell
"Geno's Forest" by XBrav
"Beware the Forest Mushrooms" by Yoko Shimomura
Back in 2007, the last Flash animation I did as I was graduating High School and entering College was a music video based on "Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars" for the Super Nintendo, a game that I have over a decade of history with. Yoko Shimomura's music is a huge part of what's so amazing about this game, "Beware the Forest Mushrooms" (theme of the "Forest Maze" stage) being one of her most highly regarded compositions. DJ XBrav created a lyrical version of the song that took the internet by storm many years ago, evolving into a meme that fans of the game all know and love. Martin Hagwell later remixed this into the popular "Rawest Forest" song, which I later used as the song for the music video that has now received millions of views in the past several years.
Today, as the last Flash animation I'm doing as I graduate College and enter into the rest of my life: Myself, Blake "ShadyVox" Swift, Bryon "Psyguy" Beaubien and Musical Mike Patterson, have joined forces to bring you a new version of the popular Forest Maze composition from Super Mario RPG, paying tribute to both XBrav's and Marta's remixes as well as Yoko Shimomura's original piece. This animation was done over the course of two weeks, as opposed to the original music video that was finished in one week. I crammed in as many geeky references in there as I possibly could to show my appreciation for this amazing game and I hope everyone who's ever played Super Mario RPG will get a big smile in remembering all the fun stuff from Mario and company's adventures. Big thanks as well to my creative partners that helped in making this song and everyone who supported me during the animation process.
Follow Geno's route there!

If I said it was perfect, there wouldn't be too much truth. But I enjoyed the artwork and the song revamping, that was clever. I'm eternally lost in this forest maze.

It had a very catchy tune... but I did not completly enjoy it. Still pretty nice though.

Here's one thing, it's much milder than most songs I hear nowadays (songs mostly being New Age and all that. Which is much worse than some songs that have been played in the past.) I don't normally listen to rap, but the drop of it was a good taste to teh ear.

Can someone tell me where I can get a leather passport cover for a Canadian passport?
Passport cover
7 Replies | Jump to last reply |
Report Abuse
I've seen a number of different passports that all seem to have the same dimensions, but I confess to not being familiar with Canadian passports, specifically.
Report Abuse
Passport covers for many nationalities are often found in airport shops, duty free shops in particular. I've also seen them in leather and luggage shops, consulates and embassies.
Report Abuse
If the Canadian passport size is unusual then I'm sure the luggage shops in Canada would carry them.
If not, try making one yourself - using a hot glue gun to seal the sides, of course, leaving enough room to slide the passport in. But I'd suggest you buy a small piece of clear vinyl in the weight you want and test the glue gun to be sure the whole thing doesn't melt.
Glue guns are inexpensive and can be used the many other things, so it's ot a wasted purchase - but be very careful with them, as they do get very hot. -

Don't know about leather cases but they sell clear plastic ones for $1 (goes to United way) right at the Passport office. They have birth certificate ones there too.

Google lays $2.7M on the line for Pwnium hacking contest
After last year's semi-washout, will again try to draw out exploits of Chrome OS at March security conference
Computerworld - Google yesterday said it would again host its Pwnium hacking contest at a Canadian security conference in March, putting $2.7 million at stake to draw out researchers who can hack its browser-based operating system, Chrome OS.
Dubbed Pwnium 4, the challenge will again pit researchers against Chrome OS, but this year will let them choose between Intel- or ARM-powered laptops. In 2013, hackers had to try to crack a Chromebook with an Intel processor.
Prizes of $110,000 and $150,000 will again be rewarded to individuals or teams who can hack the operating system, with the top dollar handed to those who deliver an exploit able to persistently compromise an HP or Acer Chromebook -- in other words, hijack the device so that it remains under their control even after a reboot.
Google capped the total up for grabs at $2.71828 million, giving multiple researchers a chance at prize money. The "2.71828" comes from a mathematical constant that is the base of the natural logarithm.
Last year Google put $3.14159 million in the pot -- another nod to mathematics, as those are the first six digits of the value of Pi -- but paid out just $40,000 to a prolific hacker who goes by "Pinkie Pie," the contest's sole participant, for what Google later called a partial exploit.
Google also said it would consider larger bonuses this year to researchers who demonstrated what it called a "particularly impressive or surprising exploit," such as one that could circumvent kASLR, (kernel Address Space Layout Randomization), a relatively new variant of the better-known ASLR anti-exploit technology used by Apple's iOS and OS X, Microsoft's Windows 8 and Chrome OS.
Even with bonuses in play, it's unlikely that Google will end up spending anywhere close to $2.7 million this year.
To qualify for the prizes or bonuses, winners must provide functional exploit code and details on all the vulnerabilities put into play, as was the case last year.
Pwnium 4 will take place March 12 at CanSecWest, the Vancouver, British Columbia, security conference known for another hacking contest, Pwn2Own, which last year was co-sponsored by HP's Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) bug bounty program and Google. HP has not yet announced the details of its 2014 challenge.
The official rules for Pwnium 4 can be found on Google's Chromium Security page.

For some people the spring means allergy. Other ones love the colors bursting and the mild temperatures. For some it means the love of joy and youth… and for Il Salviatino, your 5 stars hotel in Florence, it is a cheerful invitation to all of you to come, visit us and celebrate the arrival of this glorious season. If you book your room at Il Salviatino before the 31st March for stays until the end of May, you will get a special discount: the room rates start from €275.
We are not going to lie. It does not matter the moment of the year, because Florence always looks good. Of course, there are always interesting and fun things to do in town, no matter when one comes. But the truth is that visiting Florence during the spring has a value added. It is not as cold as in the winter, but not as hot as in the summer. A true parade of colors invades the streets. The sunlight gives even the most famous places a new appearance… and the views from the top of Fiesole's hill take one's breath away.
However, it is not the point that we say all these things. The real deal is that you come and live your own experience. And remember: Both Florence and Il Salviatino will be waiting for you.
]]>Several special activities involving Science are taking place in Florence until the 20th March in order to celebrate Galileo's 450th anniversary. The Natural History Museum, Il Museo Galileo and The Garden of Archimedes – A museum for Mathematics are only some of the several institutions that contributed to organize these events. At Buon Cumpleanno Galileo (in Italian) you can find the complete schedule and decide which activity you would like the most. But, first, we should pay a little tribute to the man for whom all this is going on: Galileo Galilei.
The son of a quite open-minded musician, Vincenzo Galilei, Galileo was born in Pisa the 15th February 1564. A very talented young man, he started studying medicine at the age of 17, although he would later change the study of the human body for the study of numbers. He obtained a prestigious job as a Mathematics professor and by 1610 he had already invented some revolutionary astronomical instrument as he started working for the Tuscan Duke. However, his relationship with the Vatican began to be tense; a situation that worsened when he defended the heliocentric system. These ideas along with his collisions with the Inquisition condemned him to a house arrest in Florence until his death in 1642.
From, Il Salviatino, your 5 stars hotel in Florence, we invite you to enjoy this tribute to a man who was beyond his own time; a man whose ideas helped building the world we know today.
]]>The exhibition will focus on three artistic languages; sculpture, painting and photography. First, you will see representations of the artist in a historicist way, with examples from Delacroix, Rodin and the Alinari brothers among others. Some works by Pagano, Finn and Amendola, who attempted to bring back the interest to Michelangelo's sculpture, will be shown as well. You will be able to find out about his influence in other great artists such as Matisse and, in a final section, they will display some works by Knorr, Sarfati and Youssef Nabil as examples of copies and reproductions of Michelangelo's works. A whole tribute for a true master.
The 'mostra' will be open until the 18th May and the tickets are priced of €11 (standard) and €5,5 (reduced)
The Grand Duke, Cosimo I de'Medici, ordered the construction of the corridor back in 1565 and it was designed by the great architect, Giorgio Vasari. The Duke wanted it to be a free walkway for him between il Palazzo Vecchio, the Government location, and il Palazzo Pitti, his residence.
Today, the Uffizi's part of the corridor is also used as an Art Gallery, including the famous collection of self-portraits.
The guided visits will be made at:
Wednesdays: one at 2:30 pm. and one at 3 pm.
Thursdays: one at 10:30 pm. and one at 11 pm.
Fridays: one at 2:30 pm and one at 3 pm.
You can't lose this opportunity to discover Florence's secret jewel.
]]>If you are a 'fan' of Puccini's works, you cannot miss this unique opportunity. For more information, please visit this website: http://www.maggiofiorentino.it/content/madama-butterfly
]]>Two nights' accommodation in a room of your choice.
Daily full à la carte breakfast.
One complimentary night in the occasion of your first wedding anniversary (on request, upon availability)
A one-hour couple massage during the stay
Romantic candlelight dinner at our restaurant (3 courses, drinks not included)
A three-hour tour with a personal shopper, to escort you to the best jewelers on the Ponte Vecchio and Via Tornabuoni or for some original fashion findings
(The back-up plan: Open-bar all night if the proposal is rejected!)
Il Salviatino, your 5 stars hotel in Florence, always embraces love in all its ways. Now we invite you to celebrate the joy of yours with us!
For more information of the package: http://www.averyspecialholiday.com/packages/perfect-proposal/?lang=en
]]>- Piazza Duomo: not far from this point you can find big stores such as Zara or Benetton as well as il Mercato Nuovo, perfect for some quick shopping of souvenirs or gifts.
- Via Tornabuoni: the luxury designers' street. If you want to take a look at what's new in Ferragamo, Gucci or Yves Saint Laurent, you know where to head for now.
- Ponte Vecchio and all the way to Oltrarno: in case you are into craftsmanship you just have to cross the bridge to find the handcrafted treasures you're searching for… or simply to drink something in the beautiful Piazza Santo Spirito.
The majority of stores are closed on Sundays and several of them close their doors during lunch time. The working day ends around 7:30 p.m. We suggest you the mornings or the early evenings for doing some shopping.
As always, Il Salviatino, your 5 stars hotel in Florence, wishes you a nice stay in our town.
Hats are something special. In fact, you don't always have to put one on, unlike a shirt or a pair of shoes. You can do it to protect you from the sun, to feel as elegant as Humphrey Bogart or Marlene Dietrich or just because you find the garment nice.
Whatever your reasons to wear hats are, if you like them and if you live in Florence or will come before the 18th May you may be interested in 'Il Cappello tra Arte e Stravaganza', the monographic exhibition dedicated to the art of hats, during the last century and these first years of 2000′s, featuring some of the greatest Italian and international designers such as Dior, Prada, Paulette or Stephen Jones.
When? Until the 18th May, from Monday to Sunday, 8:15 am. To 4.15 pm.
How much do the tickets cost? 10€ and 5 € with discounts.
Florence will cover its head these months. Will you come to see it by yourself?
The Salviatino Collection's team wishes you a merry Christmas

Multi crypto currency exchange Poloniex has announced today that their website suffered a cyber attack, leading to Bitcoins being stolen from their company. On BitcoinTalk forum, the company explained how hackers stole the Bitcoins; Placing multiple withdrawls requests at the same time will result in negative balance but still the request is being processed. "Another design flaw is that withdrawals should be queued at every step of the way. This could not have happened if withdrawals requests were processed sequentially instead of simultaneously" the forum post explaining another bug reads. Read More….

I bought this skirt from River Island when I went on a big shopping spree. Not really putting too much into what I bought I just picked it up and said I'd have it. This was only £25 which for what it is and it being in river island I thought it was going to be at least £35 so that was a nice surprise. This is fairly new in store so you can still pick it up from the shops or online at www.riverisland.co.uk. This come sin sizes 6 - 18 and as far as I am aware this is currently only available in black. The skater skirt is made out of 33% cotton , 3% elastane , 64% polyester which makes each layer of this thick and heavy duty. The material isn't pleasant as such, ... Read the complete review

A day after submitting an application for temporary asylum in Russia, the lawyer representing Edward Snowden tells Russia's Interfax news agency that the NSA leaker could leave the transit zone of Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport within a week.
Reuters reports:
Originally published on Tue July 16, 2013 9:20 am
Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor who leaked a cache of classified documents about U.S. surveillance programs, officially filed for temporary asylum in Russia on Tuesday, a human rights lawyer and WikiLeaks say.

Originally published on Sat July 13, 2013 3:44 pm
Immigration officials in Russia say they've not received any application from Edward Snowden, the man accused of leaking top-secret NSA documents, a day after he told the media in Moscow that his plan was to seek temporary asylum.
Interfax news agency quotes Russian migration service head Konstantin Romodanovsky as saying no asylum request had been received as yet.
The Kremlin's security agency has bought $15,000 worth of electric typewriters. A source told a Russian newspaper that after WikiLeaks and the Edward Snowden scandal, the Kremlin decided to "expand the practice of creating paper documents."

Modeling with both Sub-D and NURBS is all the rage with the kids these days (at least we'd like to think so) and Power Surfacing is one add-on that allows you to use such a novelly modern modelling methodology inside SolidWorks. Since its debut in January and our hands-on in with Paul McCrorey there have been a few glimpses at how to use that new found surfacing power. Now, Mark Biasotti, Senior Product Manager with Dassault Systems SolidWorks, takes it for a spin showing you how to model that famous X-box game controller you've seen in the SolidWorks marketing material, turning what took 125 feature to create the basic shape in SolidWorks into one feature with Power Surfacing.
Tag: solidworks surfacing
Power Surfacing for SolidWorks. Finally, Freeform Modeling in SolidWorks
Oh, the undulating waves of SolidWorks surfacing bliss! Yeeeeah… 'bliss' is hardly the word one would use when creating advanced surfaces in SolidWorks. We thought that would all change with the T-Splines plugin, but a new plugin on the SolidWorks block is about to make a big splash. Next week at SolidWorks World, Integrityware will officially launch Power Surfacing for SolidWorks, a plugin that bring freeform (SubD) surfacing to SolidWorks. This is the real stuff folks. Plus, it's already available for purchase.
How to Create a Meaty Mid-Plane (Boundary) Sweep in SolidWorks
Meaty Sweeps. You can gnaw on them all day like a charred piece of sandy camel leather. (Your computer can too.) But what are you to do when you want to send a profile merrily down a path in two directions? at once? in SolidWorks?! Well, can't be done. BUT, you can use a single set of sketches and a couple features to get that sweep going the direction you want. You can even add in dimension driven constraints! Yes, imagine it for a moment. Take it all in. Then hit the jump to download the file and see how it's all done.
How to Create 3D Non-Planar Sweeps in SolidWorks
Sweeps. That's what we love. The stringy morsels of 3D modeling that makes a part all the more difficult (and interesting) to create. Sweeping a profile along a path couldn't be easier in SolidWorks. A profile, a path, bend it to your will with a few guide curves – perfection achieved. But what if you need to sweep a profile along a non-planar edge? What if the profile needs to be centered or offset from the edge? There's a very simple way to do it that can bring a lot more detail to that plastic part or profile design.

I'm not one to get excited about point releases, but for a new product like tsElements, I'll make a very large, symmetrical point poppin' exception.
TsElements 1.1 is the first update for the new surfacing tool which allows import of.obj and T-Spline Rhino surface files directly into SolidWorks. I swear they've mixed magic with mathematics to do what they're doing. Now they've added a few small features and a few bigs ones to bridge the T-Spline/SolidWorks surfacing gap, plus they're being a model of maintenance support to all the software vnedors pushing out pay-to-play updates. Take a look at this…
TsElements for SolidWorks. The Age of T-Splines Surfacing is Upon Us
Back in January, just prior to SolidWorks World, you may have heard rumblings about T-Splines for SolidWorks. Well, those rumblings are actually magical jolts of surfacing joy hitting you straight in the eye. There's a bit of a catch, but there's a bit of a glimpse (and hope) of what is to come.
Free Audi TT SolidWorks Video Tutorial… In 26 Parts
What's better than being beat with the rough edge of a 3D printed car door? Many things… many, many things, but one activity that's better, which totally relates (to cars, not being beaten) is surface modeling! Yes, hooray for surface modeling.
You've seen Matt Perez's site. Now, we're gifted by another SolidWorks user who's pulling some car surfacing shenanigans over on YouTube. Mateusz Kliber from Poland has 2.5 hours of Audi TT surfacing for you… all for free.
The Nose Bleed of Free SolidWorks Tutorials Just Won't Stop
Careful with that sharp putty knife. You don't want to jab a main artery, grape salad or nostril as you read this. Oh! too late. The vessels have ruptured, starting with the SolidWorks user who brought you the free Camaro Tutorial and free Speaker tutorial. Now, he has a website offering even more.
Certified SolidWorks Expert Matt Perez launched his new site at SolidWorks World 2011. Now, SolidWorksLessons.info is the single site which contains his vast amount of knowledge that not only teaches, but also helps you approach the fun of modeling other complicated surfaces.
T-Splines for SolidWorks. Advanced Surfacing Power is Here.
Next week is SolidWorks World 2011. If my inbox is any evidence of what it's going to be like… well, I'd say it's shaping up to be a week of total insanity. You saw the CADFaster news and there's more tech being shown I can't speak of yet. SolidWorks will have some announcements no doubt and then there's this. This 3D fiends… is awesome. T-Splines for SolidWorks is here.
How to Easily Create Curved Features Using Boundary Surfaces in SolidWorks
Ya know, when you've come inside from a hard day of unnecessary antelope slapping, there's bound to be some thoughts going through your head about how to make curved shapes in SolidWorks without overwhelming your mind.
Over at the 3DVisions blog, chief antelope slapper and CSWP, Randy Simmons shows you how to make a Quick surface curved 2 directions. It's a great technique. One we want to slap into the ground like an unruly Kudu that's had one too many ginger ales. Here's how it's done and a little example to give you an idea about some applications.

I visited the place with some friends of mine. We were looking for a restaurant around the area and stumbled upon Chez Lili. To be honest I didn't want to go because I wanted pizza at the moment but luckily we did. The atmosphere was cozy and the hostess very gentle. The food was really nice and the service very friendly. I recommend to that someone should definitely try the caramelized pork. We also got some beef with pepper sauce which was as good as well as some other dishes including aubergines and chicken. I would like to try the ones that we missed out once I have the chance. Apart from the main dishes, the appetizers included nems and some other Chinese (I can't recall the name) which were also very good. The only thing I did not enjoy was the beer as the Chinese bottled beer we got was too light for my tastes. However there was also draft that I did not try. I definitely recommend to give the place a try.

Worldly education
By the so-called 'middle class equalization' in 1796 the Jews in the Holland received equal rights.
The social status of many Jews improved considerably. Many assimilated now they had the same civil rights as any other. In such an emancipated family Abraham Capadose was born on August 22nd, 1795. Both parents belonged to prominent Portuguese-Jewish families. Father Isaac was a wine merchant in Amsterdam, for whom social status was more important than his religious duties.
The young Abraham was raised in a 'worldly' way. He studied the great writers of his time and had 'Christian'-friends, for whom Christianity was a mere outward profession.

Game – G-Unit to Cash Money
This past weekend it was announced that Game became the latest signee of Cash Money Records. And, with that, the Compton-bred MC not only found a label but a secure hip hop crew to back him up...

Magic Johnson: 'Banks haven't believed in' black entrepreneurs, but success still possible
Basketball great and business baron Magic Johnson had some advice Wednesday for minorities looking to become successful entrepreneurs.
"It's all about business strategy, and you've got to execute that," he said during a press conference in Columbus in conjunction with the start of the Black Enterprise Entrepreneurs Conference & Expo at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. is host sponsor for the event.
Johnson, who heads Magic Johnson Enterprises in Los Angeles, said he pushes his employees every day on, "How are you going to sustain growth and execute on the things you manage?" Also key are having a tight business plan, hiring people with the right management expertise, and investing in the best technology to run the business.
Johnson was also candid about black entrepreneurs having difficulty in landing financing for their ventures.
"Our biggest downfall," he said, "has been banks haven't believed in us and wouldn't invest in us. That's really been the part that's held us back financially."
That's been the case, he said, even though black entrepreneurs have excellent ideals, understand how to run a business and bring best-of-class customer service.
The former Michigan State University and Los Angeles Lakers basketball star has parlayed his fame and work ethic into a pretty amazing business career. His businesses include real estate and private equity funds, a foodservice and facilities-management company, 17 radio stations, the new television network Aspire, a staffing company and interests in a number of other ventures. He is also one of the owners of Major League Baseball's Los Angeles Dodgers.

Featured Cycling in Ontario
Haldimand & Norfolk
Haldimand and Norfolk Counties offer cyclists appealing on-road cycling routes and off-road trails, whether along the north shore of Lake Erie, following the Grand River or through agricultural communities. The opening of the Lake Erie Waterfront Trail and Erie Coastal Stewardship Eco Trail in 2013 will link the region to the existing Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail. Forest trails also offer mountain bikers a reason to journey to the region. Cyclists can explore towns and cities en route and enjoy a full range of services catering to visitors year round.
Ottawa Valley & Renfrew County
The Ottawa Valley has a number of rivers and valleys interconnected throughout Renfrew County. Criss-crossing the Ottawa River, Bonnechere and Madawaska Rivers, and skirting many lakes, the area has a number of mapped road riding routes. These routes include many options for stops at interesting heritage sites, artists' studios, swimming areas and communities while cycling quiet country roads and enjoying spectacularly scenic forested and often hilly landscape.
Across the County there are numerous rugged mountain biking trails to challenge oneself, with many of the snowmobile trails converting to multi-use trail systems beyond the winter season. Cyclists can also enjoy off-road recreational riding along abandoned railway beds that include the K&P Trail.
The powerful and lengthy Ottawa River has a rich history of both First Nations and early settlers. With tributaries flowing in from Algonquin Park, Quebec on the eastern river bed, and the city of Ottawa not far south, it is easy to get to the many cycling and outdoor adventures nearby.
Kawarthas Northumberland
The Kawartha Lakes area and Northumberland County have an attractive array of on-road cycling routes that can take cyclists from vibrant waterfront communities to more rural and naturalized settings, lakes and cottage country. Stop to explore small towns and cities en route and enjoy a full range of services catering to visitors year round. Beyond which, a mix of forest and rail trails beckon, offering off-road cycling adventures to recreational riders and mountain bikers.
With something for every type of cyclist, the region also provides a number of information resources and published maps that cyclists can use to assist with planning cycling activities and routes in the region.

Awesome Read
Posted March 17, 2012 by Russell S. , Grandview
I thought this trology was very well written. I simply did not want to put any of these books down. I am wondering if there will be more.
2 .
Posted December 30, 2011 by R. H. , London
It may be because I read the Fire and Ice series, (which was very good), before reading this one. I was very disapointed, the characters are shallow and hard to get interested in. The dialogue between the characters seemed artificial. I wouldn't recommend this series to anyone. I wasn't willing to waste my time finishing it.
3 .
Excellent blend of fantasy and action
Posted September 24, 2011 by Bob , Toronto
I really enjoyed this trilogy. I don't normally read fantasy but this appealed to me and it didn't fail to impress and keep my interest. I particularly liked the blend of historical fiction, fantasy/magic and action/thriller in one comprehensive and intricate manuscript. Keep up the great work Brent!
4 .
A riveting page turner
Posted March 15, 2011 by Carrie , BC
An energetic read. The characters are groomed to draw out deep loyalty, wry humor and unfettered love. It is an emotional rollercoaster with non-stop action that makes this series impossible to put down.
Unlike most trilogies than wax on the 2nd book this one maintains it's momentum from the beginning to it's spectacular end.
A must read for fantasy lovers
5 .
Amazing read!
Posted February 01, 2011 by Wendy , Olympia
You must keep a list of characters at hand, it helps. It is an awesomely entertaining read. I love a good book that wraps its cover around you and draws you into an imaginative world that comes alive thorugh wonderfully descriptive writing. You gotta love Durzo!

Great Read!
Posted September 24, 2010 by Marisol , Santiago, DR
The books are fantastic! From the first to the last I found it hard to put down. I was extremely disappointed when it ended because I wanted to keep reading about Kylar and everyone else in Midcyru.
7 .
Depressing and excessively violent
Posted September 18, 2010 by Martha , Greenville
This book was one of the worst that I have ever read. I ended up jumping to the end just to see if L and J ended up together. What a waste space in my Sony Reader.
8 .
Posted September 04, 2010 by Jean , Muncie, IN
I like a bit of fantasy novels, but these kept me engrossed. Thought these might keep me entertained for a while during a couple months out of town. Unfortunately, I devoured them quickly and ran out of reading materials! Hope Weeks comes out with more soon!
9 .
Exhilarating and gripping, a fantastic series on all counts.
Posted July 16, 2010 by Ashton Johnson , Windom, MN
This book is incredible. The characters are fantastic and the story is so imaginative. The book is dark in many ways, but it makes the series soar above so many others because of it. It is a harsh story but not a hopeless one. Being with these believable characters as they make their way through such different but connected lives makes for a tale that still goes through my thoughts on occasion even after reading the series over a year ago.
I recommend reading it whole heartedly.
10 .
Posted July 12, 2010 by Connor , Phoenix
One of the best books i've read in a long time, when i picked this series up i couldn't put it down.

This title in other editionsNo Greater Glory: The Four Immortal Chaplains and the Sinking of the Dorchester in World War IIby Dan Kurzman
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The sinking of the "Dorchester in the icy waters off Greenland shortly after midnight on February 3, 1942, was one of the worst sea disasters of World War II. It was also the occasion of an astounding feat of heroism--and faith.
As water gushed through a hole made by a German torpedo, four chaplains--members of different faiths but linked by bonds of friendship and devotion--moved quietly among the men onboard. Preaching bravery, the chaplains distributed life jackets, including their own. In the end, these four men went down with the ship, their arms linked in spiritual solidarity, their voices raised in prayer. In this spellbinding narrative, award-winning author and journalist Dan Kurzman tells the story of these heroes and the faith--in God and in country--that they shared.
They were about as different as four American clergymen could be. George Lansing Fox (Methodist), wounded and decorated in World War I, loved his family and his Vermont congregation--yet he re-enlisted as soon as he heard about Pearl Harbor. Rabbi Alex Goode was an athlete, an intellectual, and an adoring new father--yet he too knew, the day Pearl Harbor was bombed, that he would serve. Clark Poling (Dutch Reformed), the son a famous radio evangelist, left for war begging his father to pray that he would never be a coward. Father John Washington (Catholic), a scrappy Irish street fighter, had dedicated himself to the church after a childhood brush with death. Chance brought the chaplains together at a Massachusetts training camp, but each was convinced that God had a reason for placing them together aboard the "Dorchester.
Drawing on extensive interviews with the chaplains' families and the crews ofboth the "Dorchester and the German submarine that fired the fatal torpedo, Kurzman re-creates the intimate circumstances and great historic events that culminated in that terrible night. The final hours unfold with the electrifying clarity of nightmare--the chaplains taking
