“Convergence” is getting quite a workout these days. For example, the local “Dog and Car Wash,” “Accounting and Auto Repair,” “Attorney-at-Law and Catering,” “Pizza and Wedding Chapel” combinations are popping up all over. Seems like everyone is hanging out an “open” sign, promising to solve all my problems at once. These (real) retail combinations may sound funny on initial read, but if you’re too busy running...

Television's true-crime drama “The First 48” always begins with the statement: "For homicide detectives, the clock starts ticking the moment they are called. Their chance of solving a murder is cut in half if they don't get a lead within the first 48 hours." The idea being the longer you wait to figure out who the adversary is and to assess the damage from a crime, the harder it is to solve and prevent further attacks. Like murders, with cyber-attacks there’s a...

Tennis was always a big part of my family growing up. My parents met on a tennis court, played multiple times a week and watched every tournament on television. Before I was eight, I learned that Wimbledon does not play a fifth set tiebreak and that the first two lines of Rudyard Kipling’s 1895 poem “If” hang over the door to centre court in the gentlemen’s locker room. If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you Later in life...

The point is, there may be an initial reason causing you to hesitate. But in all these cases, the end—a bountiful garden, children’s safety, a healthy smile—typically...
