Chapter 9 The Wireless Revolution A few years ago, the computer industry was bragging about 10 million people being connected to the Internet. Now that figure is an astonishing 133 million+ people in the United States alone! The Internet is changing the way we work, play, entertain ourselves, and communicate with people all over the world. The Internet is also creating new opportunities and headaches for businesses everywhere. Companies have so many choices in building a new infrastructure that they can easily make mistakes that will cost them thousands or millions of dollars in lost profits and lost customers. In this chapter we'll look at the way wireless networking in particular is changing the landscape of business and personal uses of the Internet and networks. 9.1 The Wireless Computing Landscape Because of the popularity of the Internet and networks in general, anytime, anywhere computing is growing in demand. Businesses are no longer content to keep their employees tethered to the traditional desk in the traditional office working the traditional 40-hour work week. New wireless technologies are breaking the chains. The Wireless Revolution Just as we've seen a convergence in wired digital devices such as computers, televisions, and telephones, we're seeing a widespread convergence in wireless technology and the services it offers. If content can be digitized it can be transmitted over wireless networks. That includes voice, documents, photographs, music, movies, television shows, you name it. Why should we wait to show pictures of our vacation until we get home when we can instantly transmit them over the Internet via a photo-equipped cell phone? Why can't we take a thousand songs loaded on a wireless device with us wherever we go? Business Value of Wireless Networking If a customer wants to know the specifications for a company's latest product, why shouldn't the sales representative be able to tap into the network and display the information? It could seal the deal on the spot. One of the biggest expenses of increasing or decreasing a company's workforce was the cost of rearranging offices or cubicles to accommodate the workforce. With wireless technology that's no longer the case. A company can merely provide a new employee with wireless computers and cell phones and allow him or her to work from home or the office. In fact a few years ago IBM provided its sales force with mobile computing appliances, sent them out on the road to get closer to customers, and completely closed one of its major office buildings. Not only did it save the cost of housing all the employees but it increased sales. Wireless devices are not limited to computers and cell phones but include telematics such as global positioning systems and handheld computing devices that can instantaneously track products and provide data to the company inventory network, Wireless Transmission Media and Devices In Chapter 8 we discussed various transmission media such as coaxial cable and fiber optics. Wireless transmissions rely on microwaves and satellites to send data across high frequency radio ranges which later connect to wired media. Devices for Wireless Transmission On the ground, wireless communications use a variety of gadgets such as paging systems, email handheld devices such as the BlackBerry PIM, cell phones, and personal digital assistants such as the Palm. The newer cell phones allow short text messages known as short message services to be sent from digital-based cell phones. Users of this service don't have to actually talk to the person on the other end but communicate in a shorthand type of language. One of the hottest emerging communication appliances is the smart phone equipped with Web browser software. Some merchants are teaming with Web portals to use global positioning systems to pinpoint your location. Once the merchants know you're in the local area, they offer you discounts on meals, clothing, and movies if you respond within the hour. As you're walking down the sidewalk, you can use your smart phone to locate restaurants, check movie schedules, review sports scores, take and send photographs, and use maps to find your way. Cellular Network Standards and Generations Interestingly enough, the United States is not among the most "wired wireless" countries in the world; that honor goes to South Korea, Japan, and many European countries. Unfortunately each world region has adopted separate standards for wireless networks and very often the standards don't allow for cross transmissions. Two major standards used in the world are: Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM): bandwidth is based on time division multiple access and is used in Europe, China, and Asia, and some regions of the United States. Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA): transmits over several radio frequencies and randomly assigns users to a range of frequencies over time. It is used mostly in the United States. Cellular Generations Just as we've experienced generations of computers and computer languages, we allocate generational labels to wireless phone systems. A short review of their characteristics may help you distinguish among them: First generation (1G): first appeared in the 1980s and were analog based. Mostly supported only voice transmissions. Second generation (2G): appeared in the 1990s and supported better voice quality and short message services. Interim generation (2.5G): appeared in the late 1990s and early 2000s and provides increased data transmissions based on the 2G technology. It's an interim fix until 3G technology is more fully refined. Third generation (3G): appeared in the early 2000s and are based on packet-switch technology that allows large amounts of data transmission. Supports voice, video, and graphics. Mobile Wireless Standards for Web Access Because most wireless devices are very small, organizations must reconfigure their Web applications for the tiny viewing area. Webmasters must design sites both for the large screen typical of a desktop PC and for the wireless devices. In some cases, when users access a Web site through a handheld or wireless device, the site will detect it and redirect the user to a specially configured site. The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is the set of rules that controls how wireless devices access Web applications. The Wireless Markup Language (WML) combines HTML and XML languages with the requirements for properly displaying information on the small screen. It's most important characteristic is that it describes data rather than just how the data are displayed. The microbrowser included on wireless devices is similar to a regular Web browser you would use on a PC but is optimized for the limitations imposed on the smaller devices. Many people in the United States are concerned about the "Big Brother" aspect of wireless technology. Because the wireless devices will constantly be connected and the user's location can be easily identified through I-mode standards currently used in Japan, privacy advocates are afraid the wireless Web can be used for unintended purposes. Bottom Line: Wireless networks allow businesses to mobilize their employees to wherever necessary with full access to data and services. Wireless communication devices use microwave towers and satellites to instantaneously transmit any form of digitized data. Wireless standards for Web access is still being defined but will allow access to applications of all kinds. 9.2 Wireless Computer Networks and Internet Access In order for wireless networks to work in tandem with each other it is necessary to create standards such as we have with the Internet and other network technologies. Bluetooth The Bluetooth wireless technology standard comes installed on some computers and is used to create small personal area networks. It's more appropriate to use Bluetooth technology in battery-powered devices that are within close proximity to each other. Bluetooth technology is mostly used to connect keyboards, printers, computers and handheld devices all within very close range. "Bluetooth, as you likely know, eliminates cabling between electronic products and accessories, such as between computers and printers or between phones and headsets. Bluetooth users with handhelds or laptops can exchange files, business cards and calendar appointments. Bluetooth is more oriented toward user mobility and eliminating short-distance cabling; ZigBee aims more for grand-scale automation and remote control." (Techworld.com Mar 16, 05) We'll discuss ZigBee wireless technology at the end of this chapter. Even though the Bluetooth technology got off to a slow start in the early 2000s, it is now being used for all kinds of applications, even automobiles. Vehicles are coming equipped with Bluetooth technology and allow the use of hands-free cell phones, stereos, global positioning systems, and security devices. Wi-Fi We mentioned earlier that today's computing environment should be referred to as "wireless." The recent proliferation of wireless technology is technically known as the 802.11 networking standard. It's more commonly, and easily, called Wi-Fi for wireless fidelity. Wi-Fi can be installed on your existing computers and connect them through a router hub. If you have several computers at home or in the office, a Wi-Fi network can help save money by negating the need for additional phone lines for Internet access or to use a single peripheral device such as a printer among several different computers. Each computer requires a wireless NIC (network interface card) containing a built-in radio and antenna. These cards are relatively inexpensive and you can avoid duplicating more expensive equipment by using a wireless network. You can also access Wi-Fi networks in public areas such as libraries, Internet cafes, hotels and airports. Access points to a wireless network are also called hot spots and are proliferating in many public places. You should be aware of the dangers in using these hot spots because of the lack of strong security typical of wireless networks and interference problems as more users try to access the network. One of the biggest challenges facing the Wi-Fi industry is creating enough hotspots all around the country to provide blanket coverage without interruption. Currently there are still not enough continuous connections and many times users are dropped without warning. It's similar to the situation cell phones users have experienced with dropped calls and service interruptions. Security is also a major concern because the Wi-Fi networks are intentionally built for openness and easy access. We address Wi-Fi network security more extensively in Chapter 10. The Window on Management: Wi-Fi: Starbuck's Solution to Go (see p. 316 of the text) discusses how the company is benefiting from providing wireless networks in its coffee shops for customers and employees. WiMax and EV-DO Unfortunately there are still large regions of the United States that must continue to rely on old telephone systems for Internet access. That prevents users from taking advantage of new high- speed access and many of the feature-rich applications available on the Internet. And because of limitations in frequency ranges associated with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other technologies, many users are left out of the Internet evolution. Therefore a new technology called WiMax is being developed to help fill the gaps all across the country. WiMax increases the range of transmissions up to approximately 30 miles and increases the transmission speeds significantly over that available on regular telephone lines and dial-up modems. EV-DO and Wireless Cellular Access Cellular telephone companies are continuing the march towards total convergence of all things digital with its EV-DO technology. Short for Evolution Data Optimized, this technology will allow even more ways for users to access digital content from the Internet and other networks whether that data is voice, videos, graphics, documents, text messaging, or photographs. It won't be long before the same connectivity people enjoy in their homes and offices will be available anywhere, anytime, in any form. Bottom Line: Wireless technologies such as Bluetooth WiMax, and EV-DO create small networks that connect just about any kind of computing device. They are easier to configure and connect than wired technologies and allow users more flexibility and access. Wireless access points, or hotspots, are springing up in airports, hotels, coffee shops, and rest stops all across the country and world. 9.3 M-Commerce and Mobile Computing The use of intranets, extranets, and the Internet is also proving to be the answer to many "road warriors'" prayers through the use of nomadic computing. They can quickly and easily connect to the home office to receive up-to-date information about products, services, or internal company information. And they can do it from airports, hotel rooms, their own homes, or the ski lifts at Vail. No other technology has ever given companies and individuals so many options. As mobile computing devices such as Internet-enabled cell phones, PDAs, and laptop computers, become more popular, people want to be able to connect easily to the Internet wherever they are. Because the display size and bandwidth of these devices are much smaller than a full size PC, Web pages are resized and most graphics are eliminated. M-Commerce Services and Applications Table 9-3 shows the most likely applications for m-commerce in the coming years. What is most interesting to note about m-commerce services is that companies now have a way to reach out to customers instead of waiting for the customer to come to them. It changes the entire relationship between firms and customers. Accessing Information from the Wireless Web "Anywhere, any time, any place" has been the goal of many business people. The wireless Web is making mobile commerce possible. As more information is made available to customers, employees, and suppliers through the Web and users are demanding a way to access it easily and quickly, wireless technology promises to be the "next big thing." Wireless portals give companies new opportunities to reach out and touch their customers that were not possible before. For instance, airlines can provide up-to-date information on flight schedules and travel services through wireless portals. When flight delays occur, a short message is sent to the customer alerting him or her and providing alternate scheduling information. The traveler doesn't have to wait until he or she gets to the airport to know about any changes and can use the wireless portal to reschedule the flight. If the wireless device is so designed, the user can even use a voice portal for the whole transaction. "Portals are much more important in the mobile environment, where people have less patience for browsing and entering data," says Cynthia Hswe, a senior analyst at the Strategis Group, a Washington-based technology research firm. "It's easy to think of wireless portals as just a variation of the Internet portal, but that would be oversimplifying the situation." (Wireless Internet Magazine Online, May/June 2001) Digital Payment Systems and M-Commerce Using credit cards and ATM cards for non-cash purchases is very commonplace in the United States. It's almost to the point that you don't need hard coins and greenbacks to buy anything from a newspaper to a car. Why not extend that purchasing power to mobile computing devices similar to what is taking place all over the world? Why not use your cell phone to purchase a snack from the vending machine rather than fumbling around for the correct change? Why not use a PDA to pay for the taxi ride from the airport instead of a credit card or worrying about having the right number of dollar bills? Why not pay for all your purchases with a mobile wallet (m-wallet) that stores all of your personal information and credit card numbers instead of carrying large amounts of cash and individual cards? While these forms of digital payment systems may seem far-fetched, they really are just around the corner. M-Commerce Challenges New technology brings new hurdles to overcome. Some of the challenges m-commerce faces are: 1. Tiny keyboards and screens 2. Slow access speeds 3. Minimal memory 4. Text-based sites instead of graphics 5. Limited sites configured for m-commerce As the technology matures and the limitations are resolved, more users will embrace the technology. Bottom Line: Organizations are reducing their agency costs, creating interactivity, flexibility and customization, and accelerating the distribution of knowledge with Internet technologies. The wireless Web fulfills the goal of anywhere, any time, any place. Never before has one technology offered so many advantages and the chance for businesses to reach out to the customer instead of waiting for the customer to come to them. 9.4 Wireless Technology in the Enterprise Let's take a look at how the wireless technology fits into the digital firm. Wireless Applications for Customer Relationship Management We mentioned earlier that IBM closed one of their office buildings and sent the entire sales force into the field, closer to the customer. In order to make that work companies must provide wireless interfaces between the main networks that house all of the customer relationship management data and the mobile computing devices that allow access to that data. Figure 9-9 shows how another company's wireless CRM system is configured. Using wireless applications for CRM allow businesses to solve customer problems faster, cheaper, and more efficiently. The customers are happy and the business gets to keep the customer. Wireless Supply Chain Management and RFID Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are an excellent example of how wireless technology is totally remaking supply chain management systems. RFID tags are small microchips that contain information about the product. The tags transmit data via radio frequencies to computing devices that track the product. The tags can be either active or passive. Let's compare the characteristics of each: Active RFID tags: battery powered; data can be rewritten; have a longer read range, shorter operational life Passive RFID tags: no power source, smaller, lighter, and less expensive; unlimited operational lifetime; shorter read range Figure 9-10 shows how the RFID technology works. RFID tags offer more inventory management control over products than the current bar code technology for several reasons: More data can be written to RFID tags More real-time data can be provided by RFID tags RFID tags can trigger other processes within the computer system RFID tags do not require line-of-sight readers Even though RFID tags are more expensive than bar-code technologies, the cost will drop as they become more prevalent and the system switch-over is completed. The Window on Organizations: Does RFID Threaten Privacy? (see p. 328 of the text) discusses how this new technology presents new challenges for individuals and businesses. Even though the technology has been available for years, these issues are just now surfacing as the technology becomes more prevalent. Wireless in Health Care Anecdotes abound about how bad physicians' handwriting is. Unfortunately, that trait has led to some serious health problems for patients and extensive liability for the medical profession. Also, the cost of translating and transferring hand-written documents from one information system to another is enormous. Wireless transmissions can reduce the potential errors and maximize efficiencies throughout the health care system. Table 9-4 provides some examples of wireless health care applications. Wireless Sensor Networks and Pervasive Computing The possibilities for wireless technology are endless. You can use wireless devices throughout your home and connect computer and entertainment devices into one pervasive computing system that will access the Internet and download music, photographs, videos, movies, and television programs. As computers are combined with home entertainment devices such televisions, stereos, game consoles, and telephones, it won't be long before wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are as ubiquitous as refrigerators and dishwashers. Businesses will use wireless sensor networks to connect handheld devices with data storage devices and allow workers to roam untethered through warehouses and office buildings. In the long run, WSNs will be cheaper for businesses and homes since no structural changes will need to be made to the building's walls, ceilings, or floors. If you want to add equipment, you'll simply add another node to the network. You won't have to cut holes, run wires, or alter the physical structure at all. Wireless Sensor Network Standards and ZigBee Wireless devices built on the ZigBee protocol can control the environment in your home or office. For instance, you can use wireless devices to monitor your home system from your car. Shortly before you arrive home, you can turn up the heat, turn on the lights, and tune into your favorite TV program. Businesses can use the same standard of technology to control heating and lighting in offices and factories thereby saving vast sums of money misspent on utilities. "ZigBee protocols define a type of sensor network for residential and commercial applications such as heating, air conditioning and lighting control. It combines IEEE 802.15.4, which defines the physical and MAC protocol layers, with network, security and application software layers as specified by the ZigBee Alliance, a consortium of technology companies. Imagine the freedom if light switches were to become wireless, eliminating the electrical cabling through your walls, for example." (Techworld.com Mar 16.2005) Bottom Line: Wireless applications for customer relationship management are changing the complexity between businesses and customers. RFID technology is giving companies new opportunities and challenges for supply chain management. The health care industry is undergoing radical changes due to wireless technologies. Even the traditional home front is undergoing change because of wireless networks applications. 9.5 Management Issues and Decisions There are endless possibilities ahead for wireless technologies. Let's look at some of the issues and decisions the typical business may face. Opportunities Businesses can use wireless technology to connect with their employees, customers, suppliers, and business partners in new and unexpected ways. Companies can reduce costs and improve products and services with wireless technology. Management Challenges As with all the other technologies we've discussed there are challenges to wireless technology: Integrating wireless technology into the rest of the firm's IT infrastructure: merging wireless technology with existing systems can be much more expensive than it appears. The total cost of ownership can be much higher than expected. Maintaining security and privacy: for every wireless device added to the network, you create one more access point for hackers and crackers. Solution Guidelines Some possible solutions to the new challenges are: Identify areas in which wireless can provide value Create a management framework for wireless technology Use a pilot program before a full-scale rollout of wireless systems is attempted Bottom Line: You are a part of the most revolutionary time in business. Many companies are struggling with all the changes in wireless technology and trying desperately to figure out their role in the new world. You can help yourself and your organization tremendously by understanding the issues involved and developing innovative strategies to resolve the problems. Discussion Questions: 1. Use your imagination and come up with an idea of how your organization or company can use a wireless network. 2. Following up on question 1, what current processes will you have to change to incorporate your idea? 3. Describe the advantages of using RFID tags over current bar code technology. 4. Discuss m-commerce services and applications available to businesses. 5. What are some of the possible solutions to management issues involved in the new wireless technology infrastructure?

Video: Lohan, Biel, Longoria, Alba Advertise Kimmel's 'Humpilates' Exercises
Jessica Alba, Minka Kelly, Jessica Biel and Sofia Vergara were on hand to demonstrate in Jimmy Kimmel's infomercial, each humping an exercise ball (the "HoBo"). Dressed in red spandex, Jimmy K directed them: "Hump it up. Hump it down. Take a train to humpy town!" Eva Longoria revealed, "I couldn't stop humping! I hump everywhere -- at work, at the beach, in the car." Watch the video after the jump.
Lindsay Lohan appeared, hand in hand with Jimmy K, to give her full endorsement -- with the help of a lion. "Lions hump upwards of 40 times a night. I've spent thousands of hours watching them." Kimmel said, "The Jimmy K program is so affordable, it's practically a steal." Lohan chimed in, "Allegedly." Wink wink.

i was hysterical watching jimmy kimmel live after the oscars. the hump it skit was outrageous and the stars who performed in it have great senses of humor. would love to see it again and again. nice going. at least something about the oscars was funny. by the way, ann hathaway was phenomenal and could have easily carried the show ALONE. james franco often seem tongue-tied or otherwise, disinterested. pair ann up next year with justin timerlake. they will rock it.

Donna I couldn't agree with you more about Anne Hathaway handling the Oscars by herself, she was fabulous and James franco should have been watching from home.
Jimmy Kimmel, I love his show and the after Oscar party. Hysterical.

Anne was good, James, on the other hand acted like he didn't want to be there. He must have been on something, acting weird the whole time.

Besides bulking up on full circuit of Nautilus strength equipment or powering through Precor treadmills, steppers, and ellipticals, visitors can join friends for games of basketball in the double gymnasium or chuck tomatoes at the walls of five on-site racquetball courts. The clear waters of the 25-yard swimming pool parallel the mirrored walls of an 800-square-foot fitness studio, where members can partake in several health and wellness programs throughout the week.362 Main St.Kinsington, CT US
Body Temple Fitness - HartfordRead MoreBody Temple Fitness treats the body as something worthy of worship.

Star Hill Family Athletic CenterRead MoreStar Hill is expansive, but its staff strives to keep the environment unintimidating. Beneath the white dome lies 105,000 square feet of fields, courts, and tracks, which host sporting clinics and league games throughout the year. Alongside, the main facility's 30,000 square feet house a 25-yard swimming and diving pool, a fitness center with top-of-the-line cardio and weight machines and free weights, and group fitness rooms.

Mountain MeadowRead MoreYour average golf course might take up as many as 4,000,000 square feet, yet Mountain Meadow's sports lounge is only around 10,000.

But the fun doesn't stop at golf; visitors can also play pool, shoot darts, or retire to a private card game room for some Texas Hold 'Em or high-stakes Go Fish atop professional tables. Larger parties can also rent out the facility's event room, named the Pinnacle, which comes replete with a stage and lighting effects.478 US Rte 4Enfield, NH US

Disney's Robert A. Iger Receives Ambassador for Humanity Award
Steven Spielberg and the USC Shoah Foundation Institute, housed in USC Dornsife, honor Robert A. Iger, Chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company.
Steven Spielberg, founder of the USC Shoah Foundation Institute for Visual History and Education, housed in USC Dornsife, presented Chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company Robert A. Iger with the institute's highest honor, the Ambassador for Humanity Award.
Iger was honored on June 6 at the institute's annual gala, where he was recognized for his support of the institute's work, his longtime philanthropy and his leadership role in corporate citizenship. The gala presenting sponsor was JCPenney. Jimmy Kimmel hosted and Mary J. Blige gave a special musical performance.
"Bob Iger is one of the good guys, who leads and inspires at the same time," Spielberg said. "Bob was one of the first visitors to the Shoah Foundation in 1995, shortly after it was established. He didn't hesitate to support us as we raced against time to videotape the eyewitnesses before it was too late. Now, his ongoing commitment is helping us bring the messages of the institute's visual history archive to young people worldwide."
Stephen D. Smith, the institute's executive director, called Iger "a corporate citizen of the highest order."
"We are honored to recognize him as our ambassador for humanity," Smith said. "His ongoing support, and that of The Walt Disney Company, is a great boost to our efforts as we engage students emotionally and cognitively with the testimonies. The good news is that we are finding a shift in attitudes and beliefs about how to treat others, which gives us hope that the testimonies, through this visual medium, can have a transformative effect on perceptions and actions."
USC President C. L. Max Nikias said he was honored to recognize Iger as a venerated member of USC's Trojan Family.
"Mr. Iger is a distinguished executive in the entertainment industry, as well as a visionary leader who shares USC's commitment to education and to young people," Nikias said. "He remains an exemplary role model for all USC students."
Established in 1994 by Spielberg to collect and preserve the testimonies of survivors and other witnesses of the Holocaust, the USC Shoah Foundation Institute maintains one of the largest digital video libraries in the world: nearly 52,000 video testimonies in 32 languages from 56 countries. The institute's mission is to overcome prejudice, intolerance, and bigotry — and the suffering they cause — through the educational use of the institute's visual history testimonies.
The institute works within USC and with partners around the world to advance scholarship and research, to provide resources and online tools for educators, and to disseminate the testimonies for educational purposes. The institute is now working with partner organizations to expand the archive with accounts of survivors and witnesses of other genocides.

Many feared dead in Egyptian ferry disaster
An Egyptian ferry carrying some 1,300 people sank in the Red Sea overnight during bad weather conditions, and rescue ships and helicopters pulled scores of bodies from the water Friday, an official said. Some 100 survivors in lifeboats were rescued, the AP reported.
An Egyptian spokesman told the British Broadcasting Corp. that "dozens of bodies of victims" had been pulled from the waters between Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
The 35-year-old ship, Al-Salaam Boccaccio 98, went down 40 miles off the Egyptian port of Hurghada, the head of the Egyptian Maritime Authority, Mahfouz Taha Marzouk, told The Associated Press. The ship went down between midnight and 2 a.m., a maritime official said. The reason for the disaster was not clear.
There were high winds and a sandstorm overnight on Saudi Arabia's west coast, where the ship departed from. The ship sailed from the Saudi port of Dubah at 7 p.m. Thursday night and was scheduled to reach at Egypt's port of Safaga —eight hours later.
The ship disappeared from radar screens shortly after sailing, maritime officials in Suez said.
The ship was built in 1971 and renovated in 1990 in an Egyptian shipyard. It was carrying 1,318 people, including a crew of 96. It also was carrying some 220 vehicles.
The passengers included about 1,200 Egyptians, 99 Saudis, three Syrians, two Sudanese and a Canadian, the control room official said.

Margot Robbie was born on the 2nd of July 1990 in Gold Coast, Australia. Growing up she spent a lot of time at the beach and at her grandparents' farm. At school she studied drama which eventually led her to move to Melbourne to start her acting career. Her first movies were I.C.U. and Vigilante, but beside that she also did commercials and did several guest roles. She also appeared in the soap opera Neighbours, eventually as a regular cast member.
Eventually she moved to L.A. and landed a role in Pan Am. She appeared in the romantic time travelling comedy About Time, but it was her role in The Wolf of Wall Street which really put her on the map. She acted opposite of Will Smith in Focus. Other movies she's in include Z for Zachariah and Suite française. She will also appear in upcoming movies like Tarzan and Suicide Squad (as Harley Quinn). Continue reading

The Autobiography of Malcolm Xby Alex Haley Malcolm X
He rose from hoodlum, thief, dope peddler, pimp to become the most dynamic leader of the Black Revolution. He said he would be murdered before this book appeared.
By Any Means Necessaryby Malcolm X
"Why should we do the dirtiest jobs for the lowest pay? I'm telling you we do it because we have a rotten system. It's a political and economic system of exploitation, of outright humiliation, degradation, discrimination." -- Malcolm X, June 1964. From one of eleven speeches and interviews tracing the evolution of his views on political alliances, women's rights, intermarriage, capitalism and socialism, and more.
The End of White World Supremacyby Malcolm X
Malcolm X gave black Americans not only their consciousness, but their history, their dignity, and a new pride. No single individual can claim a more important responsibility for a sociological and historical leap forward such as the one sparked in America in the 1960s. In 1965, when Malcolm X was gunned down on the stage of a Harlem theater, America lost one of its eminent political thinkers. Here in his own words are the revolutionary ideas that made Malcolm X one of the most charismatic and influential African-American leaders in American history. They are the thoughts of a determined leader during a turbulent, sometimes impossible time, and are invaluable in understanding not only the historical context of the Civil Rights movement but also contemporary identity and culture in the United States. These speeches document Malcolm's progression from Black nationalism to internationalism, and are key to both understanding his extraordinary life and illuminating his angry yet uplifting cause.
February 1965: The Final Speechesby Malcolm X Steve Clark
During the three weeks prior to his assassination on February 21, 1965, Malcolm X spoke to audiences in Britain and France and across the U.S. This is the first in a series of books that will collect--in chronological order--the major speeches and writings of this great revolutionary thinker and leader of the 20th century.
Malcolm X: The Last Speechesby Malcolm X Bruce Perry
Speeches and interviews from the last two years of Malcolm X's life. Six transcripts of hitherto unavailable speeches and interviews revealing the matured thought of Malcolm X during his final years. The interviews and final speeches are artifacts of unusual scholarly significance vital to a true understanding of the mature mind of this remarkable voice of American black protest.
Malcolm X on Afro-American Historyby Alex Haley Malcolm X Betty Shabazz
Through this book, Malcolm X explains clearly how knowing the truth about your history is necessary for building a movement to tear down racism and build a better society. The point is that Black people have to become aware of their true accomplishments in the past in order to change the world in the present and future.
Malcolm X on Afro-American Historyby Malcolm X
Recounts the hidden history of the labor of people of African origin and their achievements.
Malcolm X Talks to Young Peopleby Malcolm X Steve Clark
Contains speeches by Malcolm X during his 1964-65 tour of Africa & Britain. They reflect how his political views were evolving following his break with the Nation of Islam. Most have never before appeared in print.

As July approaches, Montréal continues to be flooded with an almost overwhelming array of musical options. So you don't miss out on any of the excitement this month, here's your July guide to Montréal summer music festivals! The Montréal International Jazz Festival, from June 26 to July 5, needs little introduction, but heck, we'll do it anyway: the planet's greatest, grandest jazz fest turns 36 this year with hundreds of concerts representing numerous genres including some 300 free outdoor shows that inundate downtown Montréal with a flood of music-loving merriment. From moving music to moving to the music, the International Percussion Festival turns 14 down in Old Montréal and the Old Port from July 3-12. A participative event (spectators are encouraged to get in on the playing and dancing action), the festival is also multidisciplinary, uniting music, dance, visual arts, film, food, workshops and conferences in the company of over 500 artists.

Things to do in Montréal: June 19 to 25
C'est la Saint-Jean! This week Québec celebrates its national holiday, which, combined with the Francofolies, Fringe Fest and Suoni Per il Popolo, means Montréal is basically celebrating non-stop. Join in the party with free live music, great cultural outings and beautiful spots to lounge in the sun. Let's celebrate The Saint-Jean-Baptiste festivities set the night of June 23 alight all through to the national holiday of June 24, with awesome free music (Ariane Moffatt, Daniel Bélanger and Marie-Pier Arthur are all on the star-studded bill) at the Place des Festivals. On the 24th during the collective day off, the celebrations take to the neighbourhoods, with roads closed all over town, live music, food, activities and a general air of slightly hung-over merriment. From Parc La Fontaine on the Plateau to Parc Benny in NDG, there's something somewhere for everyone! Festivals en fête The Francofolies, meanwhile, continues with an amazing selection of free outdoor shows in the Quartier des spectacles until June 20, making way, after a short reprieve, to the highly anticipated Festival International de Jazz de Montréal.

Things to do in Montréal: June 12 to 18
Music is in the air as festival season gathers steam – and volume. Catch French tunes in the street, indie music in clubs, dance tracks in the park on weekends and fun in the sun in all our beautiful green spaces. Fresh and fun Bask in the sunshine by testing your climbing skills at the urban acrobatic venue Parc Exalto at the Olympic Stadium Esplanade, a three-storey rope-climbing structure. You can also play soccer or mini-golf, or jump along on an acro-bungee trampoline.

Montréal's most scenic bike paths
Rated "North America's premiere biking city" by the Copenhagenize Report (2013), Montréal boasts 645 kilometres of bike paths. Itching to explore the city on two wheels? Here are our picks for Montréal's prettiest urban routes, pedaled carefree and car-free. The Lachine Canal bike path Ranked third on Time magazine's Top 10 Urban Biking Trips in 2009, the nearly 15-kilometre-long Lachine Canal bike whisks cyclists alongside a canal that is operated by modern locks, open to small pleasure craft and bordered by old 19th-century factories. Starting from the Old Port, up to the Atwater Market, until the Chemin du Musée, in Lachine, where a stop-off at Parc René-Lévesque is recommended, this pretty circuit winds you through natural spaces and industrial parks alike. On the way back, follow the Berges Ouest bike path along the St. Lawrence River to Verdun and LaSalle, where you can watch surfers or kayakers navigating the rapids. De Maisonneuve Boulevard bike path Ideal for exploring downtown by bike! If you start from the Grande Bibliothèque (near the Berri-UQAM métro station), you can ride past skyscrapers right up to the sweet boutiques and museums of downtown Montréal, and get a glimpse of Place des Arts at the same time…. / Read More →
Things to do in Montréal: May 22 to 28
It's hopping in town this week – between C2MTL, Museums Day, MUTEK and Festival TransAmériques, our schedules are already full! But with the weather the way it is, it's essential to take a chill pill and hang out in the sun a bit too. Culture corner It's Museums Day! This Sunday, May 24, all museums and most cultural institutions in the city of Montréal offer free entry, plus shuttle buses along five different trajectories to take you from one to the other. It's the best way to explore areas off the beaten track. Two shows launch at TOHU this week: Les Étinceleurs, which runs from May 26 to June 7, a high-octane show featuring the best and brightest of the National Circus School, and L'Art de la Fugue, starting on May 27 and running until June 7, which is an homage to Bach, à la circus. Not to be missed! May 23 is your last chance to catch Death and the Maiden by Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, a choreography by Stephan Thoss inspired by the Franz Schubert score of the same name and presented at Théâtre Maisonneuve. (Don't miss the free pre-show talk hosted by Shelley Pomerance an hour before… / Read More →
My top 10 favourite places to photograph in Montréal
When asked to write a guest blog post for Tourisme Montréal on my top 10 favourite places to photograph in Montréal, I was torn with what to include. Montréal offers a multitude of great places to shoot and keeping the list to just 10 was quite a challenge. One of my top reasons for loving Montréal is the wide variation in seasons that provides the photographer an ever-changing canvas. In putting together my list, I tried to incorporate places that provide a different atmosphere depending on the season. 1. Bonsecours Basin I included the Bonsecours Basin for a number of reasons. First, it's a great place to visit pretty much anytime of the year. In summer you will find people enjoying the pedal boats, in winter you have the ice rink and in autumn the trees are bursting with colour. The basin also provides a great spot to photograph the city skyline at sunset. 2. Place d'Armes Recently renovated, Place d'Armes in the heart of Old Montréal is a key stopping point for anyone visiting Montréal. In the centre of the small square is the monument to Paul de Chomedey and with the backdrop of the Notre-Dame Basilica, the art-deco… / Read More →
2015 guide to Montréal summer music festivals
It's beginning to sound a lot like summer in Montréal, as evidenced by the almost paralyzing array of music festival options – Osheaga, the Jazz Fest, Piknic Electronik, MUTEK and Heavy Montréal among them – featuring failsafe mainstays and some righteously exciting newbies. Getting wired and being plugged-in don't always mean the same thing, but you can certainly do both in style at digital arts festival Elektra. From May 13 to 17, Elektra showcases new creations in electronic music, video, cinema, performance, gaming and more, in combination with the inventive use of next-level digital technologies. Conversely, bringing music fun back to the basics is the annual Pouzza Fest of all things punk rock, May 15-17. Steadily making a bigger and badder name for itself over the last five years, Pouzza returns with over 200 punk bands that span generations of punk fans, including 80s punks the Dwarves, Chicago hardcore unit 88 Fingers Louie, and L.A. pop punks The Muffs. Summer is synonymous with picnics, and summer in Montréal has become synonymous with Piknic Electronik, the wildly popular weekly outdoor electronic music dance party. Typically held in Parc Jean-Drapeau (on Île Ste-Hélène, across from Montréal's Old Port), this year's Piknic Electronik… / Read More →
Things to Do with Kids this Spring and Summer in Montréal
With so much going on in Montréal during the warm-weather months, it's easy to experience the best of the city through the eyes of children – free outdoor activities, indoor entertainment and much more keep everyone amused. Parks and Rec Run and play in Mount Royal Park mere minutes away from downtown, featuring children's playgrounds and wading pools, picnic grounds, walking and cycling trails, paddle boat rentals at Lac aux Castors and an incredible view of the city and beyond from the top of the mountain. A short Métro ride from downtown, Parc Jean-Drapeau boasts a huge amount of green space, an outdoor pool, a lake and sandy beach, the Biosphere ecological museum, a view of the city, flower gardens, and summer events such as July's Week-ends du Monde. Next to the Parc Jean-Drapeau is Six Flags' La Ronde, open all summer long, with plenty of rides just for kids and families – in July, kids who can stay up a little later will love the L'International des Feux Loto-Québec fireworks competition on Wednesday and Saturday nights. Find the best swing set in the city in downtown Montréal's Quartier des spectacles: the 21 Balançoires (21 Swings) art installation and instrument… / Read More →
On the Run! Great Jogging Trails from Amazing Montréal Hotels
If your starting line is: The Fairmont Le Reine Elizabeth Few hotels around the world can boast a Running Concierge, but then again, few hotel chains dedicate as much thought to fitness as Fairmont does. (Try their fitness-gear rental program – it's so handy!) At the Fairmont Le Reine Elizabeth in the heart of downtown Montréal, every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 6:30 am between May and late September, the lobby fills with avid runners led by Vicki Findley, Convention & Catering Services Manager in addition to being the Running Concierge. She and her colleagues – all marathoners or triathletes – combine the best of both worlds: fitness and exploration of this gorgeous city and its assets. "As we run, we give information about the hotel and the city," explains Findley. "It starts out chatty, but as we go and the breathing gets heavier, it tends to get a bit more quiet!" Among the three jogging routes offered, the most popular is the 7 km downtown/Plateau run. The group goes up McGill, then runs into the McGill University campus to the exit on Milton. They continue east on Milton, until St-Laurent; then go north up to Prince Arthur. From there,… / Read More →
Montréal's 2015 Osheaga festival line-up is out!
As 10-year-olds go, Montréal's Osheaga Music and Arts Festival has again proven itself to be one of the most precocious kids on the block with a 2015 line-up – including the likes of Florence and the Machine, Kendrick Lamar, Weezer, Ben Harper and many, many more – that's all smarts and smiles. From very modest if ambitious beginnings 10 years ago in 2006, the Osheaga Music and Arts Festival has grown from a two-day festival pulling in some 25,000 folks totally to a three-day monster of music awesomeness that now sells out 45,000 tickets per day as a matter of routine. This is in large part due to superlative artist programming since the outset, and the promise of a festival experience – at the treed and pathway-lined Parc Jean-Drapeau on Montréal's scenic Île Sainte-Hélène – that is second to none. This year's 10th anniversary of Osheaga, from July 31 to August 2, keeps that promise. Over 100 bands and performers will grace the festival's six stages, among them several key Osheaga alumni. Exciting for many of us who were at that very first, baby-stepping edition of Osheaga in 2006 is the return of then-headliners Ben Harper, who has reunited with backing band The Innocent… / Read More →

The Marple films are endearingly modest productions, redeemed by peerless performances and mostly sharp scripts. Ron Goodwin's theme music used in all four films is an irresistible piece of '60s symphonic pop that's a classical gas. None of the actors are suspect. Rutherford gets able support from her real-life husband, Stringer Davis, who portrays Marple's Watson-esque sidekick. Venerable character actors Robert Morley and Ron Moody enliven Gallop and Foul, respectively. And in Murder She Said, that's Joan Hickson, who would go on to acclaim as Miss Marple in the celebrated BBC series (also available on DVD). But it's tough to steal a scene from Rutherford, whose Marple displays a keen mind, and, in Ahoy, surprising prowess with a sword! --Donald Liebenson
