...chef's impressive training than with an unlikely sounding machine called the Gastrovac. The device, which both vacuum cooks foods at extremely low temperatures and infuses them with the flavors of the liquid in which they are poached, is not much to look at, but Torres is thrilled with what it does. "Look at the skin," he exclaims, pulling the hake out of the Gastrovac and plating it with a caper and red pepper broth. "It has the same sheen as it did when it was raw!" Call it the Blumenthal-Adrià effect. Ever since Europe's two famously...
...toilet handle that controls the amount of water used in each flush. Specifically, students flush upwards for “1” and downwards for “2.” The new handles were installed in the hope that the reduced water usage (1.1 gallons for liquid waste and 1.6 for solid waste) would benefit the environment. “I think it’s a good step in that it’s a very easy change for people to make, but it will save a lot of water in the long...
...Over the summer, all bathrooms in Kirkland, Eliot, and Dunster Houses were outfitted with brand new toilets that now include water-conserving flushing handles, or “flushometers.” The dual-flush handles—painted a bright green—can be pulled up for liquid waste, releasing only 1.1 gallons of water per flush, or they can be pulled down for solid waste, releasing 1.6 gallons of water per flush. According to Jay M. Phillips, the director of building infrastructure and operations for the FAS Office of Physical Resources, the new toilets were installed...
Anything gentler or more sinuous may have a harder time. A multipart installation by Betty Woodman, the ceramic artist whose work is full of liquid lines, looks like somebody dropped a Matisse into The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. And Libeskind's plunging vectors will never be the ideal resting place for Vermeer or Monet--which might explain why the Denver museum will continue to house most of its older art in the more conventional galleries of the Ponti building. Daniel Kohl, the museum's installation designer, has taken on the job of mediating between Libeskind's building...
...Orion spacecraft, by contrast, is based on proven Apollo technology. It?s configured like a large Apollo: a conical crew compartment atop a cylindrical engine module. It will sit atop heavy-lift boosters that are modeled in part after the shuttle?s own liquid-fuel engines - far and away the best part of the old shuttle technology and the part most worth saving. Unlike Apollo, it will be stuffed with 21st century electronics and computers, and it will be cleverly reconfigurable, able to carry six astronauts into Earth orbit and four to the moon or Mars...
