This is about a book I just read called Deadly Allies : Canada’s Secret War, 1937-1947 by John Bryden, and it was written in 1989.
This book is about Canada’s secret war from 1937 to 1947, but it also kind of extrapolates (I think that’s the right word) up to 1989 a bit.
When I was talking to the librarian about not liking bees, cause I don’t like bees and I thought it would be a good idea to reduce bees, she got me this book to read to learn how to reduce the bees.
And this books talks about what Canada was up to like on:
Canada did not have the bomb, but it was a world leader in bacteriological warfare and very knowledgeable in chemical warfare. [1]
They [, Emlyn Llewelyn Davies and Otto Maass,] had built in Canada an impressive chemical and biological warfare establishment, and for the foreseeable future it was there to stay. [2]
I just read The First Global Revolution by Alexander King and Bertrand Schneider.
On the back of the book it talks about The Club of Rome:
Alexander King, one of Britain’s most respected scientists, is a founding member of the Club of Rome, which includes among its one hundred members many public figures, business and industrial leaders, scientists, and heads of state. Bertrand Schneider, the Club’s secretary-general, is a Fellow of the World Academy of Art and Science. [1]
OK. I slept on it for about 14 hours and thought about it for a bunch more hours. Here is my decision.
I’m going to log the long stuff (i.e. book notes) here and log the short stuff (i.e. lottery winnings, words I learn, places I learn, etc.) on social Internet web sites like Facebook and Twitter.
Doing HD videos on a 4 year old computer sucks, so I am thinking of doing some changes. I like having video logs so in the future when I am too lazy to read I can just watch the videos instead of reading.
I dont like reading a bunch of stuff at once, but I can read a definition at once most of the time. So I am thinking of doing videos just for books I read, cause it is easier for me to understand what I read by just watching a video then reading a bunch of text.
I’m still thinking about it so I haven’t decided yet.

I learned about the country called Iceland, and I also learned about the word “Stringent”.
Iceland
An island country in the North Atlantic near the Arctic Circle. Norse settlers arrived c. 850-875, and Christianity was introduced c. 1000. Iceland passed to Norway in 1262 and, with Norway, to Denmark in 1380. In 1918 it became a sovereign state still nominally under the Danish king, until Icelanders voted for full independence in 1944. Reykjavík is the capital and the largest city. Population: 266,000. [1]
Stringent
adj.1. Imposing rigorous standards of performance; severe: stringent safety measures. 2. Constricted; tight; operating under a stringent time limit.3. Characterized by scarcity of money, credit restrictions, or other financial strain: stringent economic policies. [2]
