The University of Waterloo has the Centre for Education in Mathematics and computing. They have some good material for grades 7 & 8 as well as high school.

I read the print version of this book last year.

I enjoyed this book although I did find it quite slow and a bit boring at the end. I vaguely knew about some of the Greek myths but learned quite a bit from reading this book.

Stephen Frye tries to tell the stories in a structured timeline that is easy to follow and understand. At times, he tells the stories as if the characters were modern, ordinary personalities. I found these parts to be the best, and at times quite funny.

There is a reference provided at the end of the book that I found useful: https://www.theoi.com

Nice idea, but as other commenters has pointed out, maybe not the best name. Back in the 90’s when I first connected to the internet, my ISP provided a package called Internet in a Box made by a company called Spry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBox

I've read a few articles on this site and found it to be pretty informative: https://foodcrumbles.com/

Mythos by Stephen Fry.

Stephen Fry re-tells the ancient greek myths in his own style, adding personal commentary along the way. Recommended.

I just finished reading a book, “The Fantastic Laboratory of Dr Wiegl” by Arthur Allen, that describes the work that Weigl did before and during WWII. I thought the book did a really good job describing the affects of typhus and the reasons developing a vaccine was so difficult.

Despite the title, only about half the book is about Wiegl. The other half is about Ludwick Fleck. Fleck was jewish and a former colleague of Wiegl’s who also developed a typhus vaccine.

Earlier this summer a man from Saskatoon bought a $800 canoe with a briefcase full of Canadian Tire money. https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/saskatoon-man-buys-canoe-with-...

These days I think they are trying to get people to switch to a credit card rewards type of system. But if you pay with cash you can still get Canadian Tire money.

A few years ago I lived in a fairly northern Canadian city. Most people had block heaters installed in their cars and plugged them in when the car would be sitting in the cold for more than a few hours. Otherwise, the car would be too cold to start. Most companies and apartment buildings had outlets installed in their parking lots, and at home people just ran extension cords.

Is this really true? Is there any proof that companies don't or can't make a profit at European & Canadian prices. US prices are much higher because companies are allowed to charge more.

The Iridium Next satellite constellation is new. SpaceX just launched the final 10 satellites in January 2019. Even if MH370 had their transponders turned on, it wouldn't have helped.

Two suggestions:

Arthur C. Clarke's "A Fall of Moondust". https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/149059.A_Fall_of_Moondus...

- This might be a bit dated now, but I remember enjoying it years ago.

Buzz Aldrin's "Men From Earth" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1369808.Men_from_Earth

I think you need to consider more than just the differences in salary with Silicon Valley. You also need to compare the cost of living and other benefits as well. Canada is a huge country and some places are much more expensive (and so require higher salaries) than others.

> miserable weather

The weather is as miserable as we let it make us. Canadians in general love to complain about the weather but I don't think it is that bad. It can be cold or hot, snowy or rainy but most days are quite nice. When I lived in California I missed the changing seasons, fall colours and snow at Christmas.

"The Little Black Bag" was also done as an episode of Night Gallery. I saw this first before reading the story. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0660832/

What about The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum (https://www.intrepidmuseum.org/). I enjoyed it when I was in New York.

I have a book, "Misson Control, This is Apollo" (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6082047-mission-control-...) that features a lot of Alan Bean's paintings. I always thought they were quite good but I'm no art expert.

In Canada they definitely still put toys in the eggs. http://www.ferrero.ca/our-brands/kinder-surprise/moments-of-...
