As a young man, William worked for a logging company on Vancouver Island, cycling 30 miles after a long day of physical labour. He qualified for the 1928 Olympics at Amsterdam …. [He] turned professional the following year, ending his Olympic career, becoming a popular figure in the sporting culture. He was even romantically linked to Countess Fern Andra, a beauty of German silent movies and friend of the spy Mata Hari. The romance likely was a bit of promotional ballyhoo.

Barely a decade ago, the New York men鈥檚 wear presentations merited their own dedicated week with all the attendant ballyhoo, parties, corporate sponsorships and street-style photographers trawling for Instagram fodder. People turned out in droves, disporting themselves in outlandish costumes 鈥�. Plenty of schlock was produced during those weeks 鈥�

Italicus is a new liqueur from Italy inspired by rosolio, a drink that was once the toast of the Court of Savoy …. Piecing together the original rosolio recipe was painstaking work; [Giuseppe Gallo, Italicus creator and an authority on Italian drinks,] spent many months trawling the archives of the University of Turin and interviewing superannuated Italians before he pinpointed a formula of roses, lavender, gentian and lemon balm. For his own recipe, he added chamomile, bergamot and fragrant Cedro lemon to the mix, resulting in a slightly more citrusy liqueur that works particularly well served 50/50 with prosecco, lots of ice and a couple of green olives.

[S]ommelier and “ma卯tre liquoriste” Deirdre Heekin …. began experimenting with herbal spirits and homemade cordials after returning from a 2002 trip through Calabria, where she encountered a rainbow of different rosolios, homemade liqueurs made from roses and other botanicals. “They were like nothing I’d ever seen before,” she said. “It was a total aha moment.” So, when Eden asked Ms. Heekin to consider developing domestic versions of the aperitifs she recalled fondly from her travels鈥攗sing not wine, but Vermont ice cider as the base鈥攕he dove at the chance.

New research shows that six species of Caribbean and Latin American anoles, a type of lizard, can exhale air to create large, oxygen-filled bubbles that cling to their head. The anoles were seen periodically inflating the bubbles and then drawing them back in through their noses …. 鈥淲e think this is operating like a rebreathing device,鈥� says study first author Christopher Boccia, a doctoral student at Queen鈥檚 University in Kingston, Ontario. That device, also called a rebreather, is an apparatus that allows divers to extend time underwater by recycling exhaled air and breathing the previously-unused oxygen in it.

Scientists, philosophers鈥攁nd parents鈥攈ave asked similar questions about what is innate and what is learned in the infant brain, going all the way back to the ancients. A study conducted using an apparatus specifically designed to inspect the brains of babies may bring an answer one step closer …. Rebecca Saxe, a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and her colleagues scanned 42 infants ranging in age from two to nine months using a special functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) helmet designed specifically for babies.
