  Toronto is not only Canada’s economic capital, but it also has one of the most diverse populations and has been classified as one of the world’s most livable cities.
  		 
  But Toronto’s past and present are full of weird facts and tidbits from the truly trivial to the seriously strange:
  		 
  The name ”Toronto” first appeared on a French map as ”Lac de Taranteau,” derived from the Iroquois word tkaronto.
  		 
  Today, Yorkville is a trendy downtown shopping area but it was once a cemetery for those who could not afford a church burial; the cemetery was removed in the 1870s, but human remains keep turning up at every modern-day Yorkville construction project.
  		 
  The land on which Toronto was built was purchased from the Mississauga First Nation band for a few hundred British pounds, 2000 gun flints, two dozen each of kettles and hats, all the hand mirrors they could carry and 100 gallons of excellent navy rum.
  		 
  Olympic sculler Ned Hanlan got in lots of midnight practice rowing crates of whisky for his bootlegger dad. 
  		 
  William Davies, whose pork-processing company earned Toronto the nickname ”Hogtown,” died after being butted by a goat.
  		 
  The abandoned Queen Street underground streetcar station is a location for the latest remake of the slasher movie Nightmare on Elm Street.
  		 
  And many more fascinating facts.

  British Highways And Byways From...

  In this chronicle of a summer's motoring in Britain I have not attempted a guide-book in any sense, yet the maps, together with the comments on highways, towns, and country, should be of some value even in that capacity. I hope, however, that the book, with its many illustrations and its record of visits to out-of-the way places, may be acceptable to those who may desire to tour Britain by rail or cycle as well as by motor car. Nor may it be entirely uninteresting to those who may not expect to visit the country in person but desire to learn more of it and its people. (Introduction by Thomas Dowler Murphy)

  Goodbye Things Hello Minimalism!

  Mai Kurosawa

  People around the world apparently do not cease to come up with various lifestyles in accordance with their own personal perspectives, views, and needs. Some of these lifestyles created and implemented are known to be radically opposing to each other, with the rest being considered more or less "in between" these opposite categories, characterized in turn by peculiarities and standards that can be a fit for almost all human inclinations, orientations, and intellects. 
   
  Of all these lifestyles, minimalism has appeared to the public and has been met by wide approval and a huge interest in the implementation or at least the attempt of it. So far, minimalism has multiple definitions and many elaborate ideas which can be considered to revolve around the same mutual concept of pursuing and committing to simplicity in life in a continuous and consistent manner. 
   
  The term "minimalism" does actually define itself. You may think of it in simple words as the lifestyle which includes having the "minimal" or "simplest" standards and criteria, associated with accustoming and successfully convincing oneself with such a lifestyle. The other definitions of minimalism chosen to be included this guide are for clarification and enlightenment regarding the subject. 
   
  Minimalism is about maintaining things of importance in your life. The things that bring balance and alignment. These should be the items that you prioritised and valued the most. This guide addresses mainly minimalists who have families and kids to reassure and confirm to them that minimalism is compatible within a varied scope of family sizes. This guide hope to dispel the notion that minimalism is impractical and incompatible with families especially larger families.
