“Most importantly, water from the dry side showers is seeping into the sports hall from adjoining walls and degrading the structure of those walls and possibly the sports hall floor. This is due to the poor laying of the floor tiles and the grout used to waterproof the area.

For 40$ you can buy enough silicagel you probably won’t be able to lift it all And for those that still don’t know – silicagel is renewable, just heat it over the boiling point of water for a couple of hours…the non-indicator type tolerates temperatures well up to 200°C and doesn’t degrade when heated (unlike the plastic filament)…

"There's just a little glazing mostly," Jarvis said. "We're not expecting too much ice throughout Sunday."

Pyrex, the favorite brand of Laura Mahoney, a health coach with the Noom weight-loss app, also sells containers in all different sizes. “For storing cooked foods, I prefer to use glass containers because you can seamlessly bring food from the refrigerator to the microwave, without having to transfer the contents,” says Mahoney. “The key is having a variety of shapes and containers so that you have options depending on your needs.” Nutrition coach Erin Romeo, known on Instagram as the “food-prep princess,” likes Pyrex because “if you eat right out of the container instead of transferring your meal to a plate, you’ll only have one dish to wash. Speaking of washing, glass containers are super easy to clean and don’t retain food smells as much as plastic does.”

Embedded in those simple instructions are some nonobvious technical issues that make polyurethane glue different from white or yellow glues, which are classified as polyvinyl acetates, or PVA glues. PVA glues, which include the white glue used in classrooms and waterproof formulas such as Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue, cure by dehydration. The moisture in the glue needs to evaporate or get soaked into the surface being glued. One side effect: The glue shrinks as it dries, to compensate for the loss of water. Polyurethane glue, however, doesn't cure by drying. It cures through a chemical reaction that requires moisture. Misting at least one surface before applying the adhesive ensures enough moisture to cause the adhesive to foam and expand, and then cure.

Calibration plots for each analyte resulted from exposure of chloride and pH assays to standard chloride and buffer solutions, capture of images of the assays using a digital single-lens reflex camera (EOS 6D; Canon, Tokyo, Japan), and image analysis (Photoshop, Adobe Systems, CA, USA). Thereafter, a color laser printer (C454 PS; Konica Minolta, Tokyo, Japan) produced color reference markers on transparent thin films of PET. Placing the color reference markers adjacent to the assay chambers and capturing images using a smartphone (iPhone 5s; Apple, CA, USA) enabled a comparison of color values (lightness value from Lab color space for chloride assay and R value from RGB color model for pH assay) of the reference markers with those of the assays. Adjusting the brightness of the color reference markers and repeated iteration resulted in optimized color reference markers with color values similar to colors from the assay chambers.

Those are the straight mechanics of the manufacturing process each of our graphics cards goes through, but there is so much more that happens even before the final production lines can roar into life.

We also love our rear storage boxes. An open box (also from Aluminess) can hold jerry cans or firewood, and we like the closed boxes for storing camp chairs, tie-down straps, and snow chains. All of these rather bulky items would be challenging to fit inside the camper.

Ben has worked all of his career as a journalist and now editor, covering almost all aspects of technology, engineering and industry. In the last 16 years he has written on subjects from nuclear submarines and autonomous cars to future design and manufacturing technologies and commercial aviation. Latterly editor of a leading engineering magazine, he brings an eye for a great story and lots of experience to the team.

Target-specific treatments are major right now, which is one of the many reasons why Burt’s Bees Rejuvenating Eye Mask is so popular. That, and the fact that it offers an ultra-hydrating, uncomplicated, 99.9 percent natural formula. You can use a set of these zippy little masks at home, on a long-haul flight, or while you’re waiting for your toes to dry.

We rated each one on how fresh it kept different items of food, how it looked, how airtight it was and also considered value for money.

So here I am, taking back control with an £86.17 shopping spree for food that should last me six weeks from March onwards. In an experiment, I set out to consume only British foods, to see what we are in for, but in the end I panicked during my panic buy and stockpiled whatever I could get my hands on, regardless of where it was from. Here’s how I hunkered down.
