...this latest study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Pace dispersed a team of undergraduate students into 45 bathrooms mostly in New York City and Denver to swab and test the inside of showerheads; bacteria tend to accumulate in dense communities there, forming thin, gooey "biofilms." When you run the shower, germs are ejected out of the showerhead in the spray. Inhale the fine water droplets and M. avium gets a direct passage to your lungs where it proceeds to wreak havoc if your immune system isn't strong enough...
Water isn’t flowing as freely as it used to, at least not in student showers. Over the summer, Harvard Yard Operations introduced low flow showerheads, which use only 1.6 gallons of water per minute instead of 2.5, into several of the Houses and freshman dorms. Leverett, Mather, and Dunster received the new heads over the summer, and the showerheads are currently being installed in other Houses and the freshman dorms. All told, it is expected that the new showerheads will save close to 2.5 million gallons of water and $40,000 per year, which is clearly...
Harvard is installing new water-saving showerheads in undergraduate dorms. But for some students, they’re only producing a shower of complaints. Harvard Yard Operations installed new showerheads in Greenough, Hurlbut, and Pennypacker Halls at the beginning of this month. They were also installed in Dunster, Leverett, and Mather Houses this summer, and are in the process of being added to the remaining dorms. The new showerheads, manufactured by Indianapolis, Ind.-based Delta Faucet Company, use 1.6 gallons of water per minute instead of the 2.5 gallons expended by standard showerheads, according to Paul J. Hegarty, the building...
...spoken on college campuses through YAF, and Reagan's son Michael raises money for the group. In 1998 it purchased the Reagans' old ranch near Santa Barbara, Calif., and now brings 1,000 students there every year to bask in Reaganiana (look in the bathroom for the Liberty Bell showerhead) and study conservative thought at a multimillion-dollar conference center nearby...
...already in orbit. An expert in optics suggested that tiny inversely distorted mirrors could correct the images, but nobody could figure out how to fit them into the hard-to-reach space inside. Then engineer Jim Crocker, taking a shower in a German hotel, noticed the European-style showerhead mounted on adjustable rods. He realized the Hubble's little mirrors could be extended into the telescope by mounting them on similar folding arms. And this flash was the key to fixing the problem...
