Allure of Anguilla
I was sold on the appeal of one of the Caribbean’s most popular cruising destinations before we’d even cast off from the dock for our weeklong bareboat charter on Wallis, a 45-foot Moorings catamaran. Shortly after arriving at Marina Fort Louis on the French side of St. Martin/Sint Maarten, we were given our briefing by The Moorings staffer, Alcid Belgrave, a fellow with an encyclopedic knowledge of this cruising ground. Then I joined my crew for a stroll along Marigot’s seaside streets.
Jazz and Jambalaya Hit the Right Notes in New Orleans
We landed in New Orleans scant hours ago and already it’s begun. As twilight closes in, my wife and I strolling along the French Quarter’s Bourbon Street past eighteenth-century buildings decorated by flickering gaslight wall sconces and gingerbread wrought iron balconies, we get our first indication that at long last we’ve made it to New Orleans. First comes a booming rhythmic echo reverberating around those selfsame buildings. Now a tuba joins the serenade, then clarinet then trumpet.
Binding of carboxylate and water to monovalent cations
Binding of carboxylate and water to monovalent cations The interactions of carboxylate anions with water and cations are important for a wide variety of systems, both biological and synthetic. To gain insight on properties of the local complexes, we apply density functional theory, to treat the complex electrostatic interactions, and investigate mixtures with varied numbers of carboxylate anions (acetate) and waters binding to monovalent cations, Li+, Na+ and K+.

Antarctic ice age survival story: Life seeking ice-free refuges imitates art in Ice Age, the movie Original
Antarctica is an icy place today, but the ice extended even further during past ice ages. The question of how and where life survived on land in the icy continent, through the ages, has long puzzled biologists. Ever since the first expeditions to Antarctica, the persistence of life in this inhospitable environment has remained a mystery. Until now. In our study published in Biology Letters, we assembled data to test our theory of how life survived previous ice ages.

Seaside lunches, historic sites and live music by the beach — just a three-hour flight from Toronto
The Bahamas boasts nearly 700 islands, but Nassau is the crown jewel. Settled by the Indigenous Lucayans as early as the 10th century, the archipelago’s capital and most populous city was once a hideout for pirates, and then established as a commercial port around 1670. Today, it offers a wealth of experiences for every traveller — from students of history to beach-sunset seekers — as I discovered on a trip this winter.

Review | Francis Bacon was an elusive figure. A new biography presents novel details of his iconoclastic existence.
Swollen, distorted, painted in bruised mauves and imprisoned in triptychs, the figures in Francis Bacon’s art are among the indelible images of the 20th century. In a new biography, Mark Stevens and Annalyn Swan strive to bring into focus the elusive figure of the artist himself. There already exist pleasurably dishy memoirs of Bacon’s prime by his inner circle. Stevens and Swan, who spent a decade researching “Francis Bacon: Revelations,” aim for a more complete portrait.
The artist who humiliated Princess Margaret
A 1972 self-portrait. “He was not just a figurative painter,” write Francis Bacon’s biographers.
Francis Bacon: Revelations
“an engrossing portrait of the artist, his art, and his incorrigible personality.” Francis Bacon turned the art world inside out with his grotesque portraiture and scabrous figurative depiction of the human form. Controversial and undaunted by critics, he eventually became one of the most celebrated and wealthy artists of the era. Yet he never stopped being a rogue artist living an often self-destructive, but accomplished life, personally and professionally.

Open in a Scream
The period in Francis Bacon’s life between 1933 and 1944 remains a mystery. We know who he was seeing and where he was living. We know what he painted: in 1933, when he was 23, his Crucifixion that looks like an X-ray; eleven years later, the contortions of Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion. But what was going on in his mind is a matter for speculation.
