Tower of London Remembers - About the installation About the installation Don't miss the major art installation Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red at the Tower of London, marking one hundred years since the first full day of Britain's involvement in the First World War. Created by ceramic artist Paul Cummins, with setting by stage designer Tom Piper, 888,246 ceramic poppies will progressively fill the Tower's famous moat over the summer. Each poppy represents a British military fatality during the war. The poppies will encircle the iconic landmark, creating not only a spectacular display visible from all around the Tower but also a location for personal reflection. We are hoping to sell all of the poppies that make up the installation and, in doing so, raise millions of pounds which will be shared equally amongst six service charities.

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK: Why I Slept Through It Last Time, and Why I Sort Of Want To Again I read every comment left on my articles on this site, and many of you have mentioned that you feel resentful or envious of what you understand to be my glamorous (and you're right, it is) life. And now it's the most glamorous week of all -- Fashion Week -- and maybe you're a little jealous that you don't have a job like mine, or that you don't live in New York, working in the glamour industries. I used to feel jealous too, every Fashion Week when I was young, that I wasn't there. When I was climbing the ranks of magazines, there was nothing more painful for me than when Fashion Week came to town and erected it’s big white tents in Bryant Park, like some Calvin Klein-y minimalist circus. I WILL be an editor someday, I’d think as I packed up garment bags and hand-wrote shipping labels in the fashion closet of Vanity Fair, hideously misspelling “Comme des Garcons,” “Giambattista Valli,” “Junya Watanabe,” “Maison Martin Margiela,” “Miu Miu” (“Mui Mui”) every time. Am I bugging? Whatever.

Self-Stirring Pot Puts New Spin on Stove-top Cooking “What a nabe!” indeed. Hideki Watanabe, a dentist from the city of Iyo in southwestern Japan, has created a new type of cooking pot that not only stirs itself, but also saves energy by reducing the time it takes a pot of water to boil. The so-called Kuru-Kuru Nabe, or “Round and Round Pot”, puts basic thermodynamics to work so you don't have to. The secret is the sculpted sides of the pot, something Watanabe came up with while experimenting with dental plaster at his office. As water in the pot begins to warm up, it rises, but the spirally angled sides of the pot direct the flow into a circular direction. Check out this video to see the Kuru-Kuru Nabe in action... wow, those beads look tasty! As you can see, the inertia of the moving water results in more efficient heating of the pot's contents so the water's boiling point is reached in a shorter time, thus saving energy. Hideki Watanabe, dentist and self-styled "spin doctor" sees great potential in the Kuru-Kuru Nabe.

AnansiTheSpider 3 Ways To Make Wearable Tech Actually Wearable Wearable technology is the next new wave of technology, and it’s bound to drive a lot of the innovation in the consumer electronics industry. We can expect to see a lot more watches, glasses, fitness gadgets, and wristbands in the years to come. But bear in mind that we’re in the “brick phone” phase, or version 1.0, of wearable tech. In these early days, we’re approaching wearables with a traditional CE mentality--it’s all about making a powerful gadget that we can bolt onto our bodies without considering the new aspects of what it means to wear, rather than carry, something. The real opportunity is for wearable technology to enhance the human experience by seamlessly integrating the technology into the fabric of our lives. 1. Until recently, in the technology industry the idea of aesthetic value was often considered secondary and sometimes controversial. Our goal should be to create iconic and timeless forms that are beautiful and help us communicate who we are. 2. 3. What’s Next?
