A: Gorilla Glue, with a name that's been a huge marketing success, is one of the best-known brands of polyurethane glue, a category that performs very differently from the white and yellow glues familiar to most consumers. The Gorilla Glue Co.puts its brand name on a variety of adhesives, including epoxy and traditional water-based wood glue, but its Original Gorilla Glue, a polyurethane adhesive, is the most well-known.

Green GadgetsProducts to Help Reduce Food WasteIf you find that your good intentions to prep and eat fresh produce are foiled by Father Time, then you need ways to slow down the aging of your fruits and veggies. It could be as simple as proper storage—check out our guide on How to Store Fresh Produce So Fruit, Vegetables, and Herbs Last Longer for tips like what not to store in the fridge, when to trim vegetable tops, and more! Additionally, for leafy herbs, storing with stems in water and a produce bag on top (like this) can make all the difference for keeping them fresh for weeks.

Even simpler than your standard mason jar, these French canning jars — recommended by Bea Johnson, author of Zero Waste Home — come with the lids attached, so there’s no separating the lids from the jars when washing them, and no chance of misplacing a lid.

Cooked beef, pork, and chicken were prepared in a private home that was not approved by the Department; the facility lacked an indirectly plumbed food prep sink to properly wash produce; interior surfaces of the ice machine were soiled; mouse droppings were found on shelving in the basement storage area and on the floors under shelving in the basement storage area; loose rodent bait packets were found under shelving in the basement storage area, and not stored in tamper resistant boxes; the food safety certified person was not present during the inspection; food employees were donning single use gloves without a prior hand wash and did not follow proper handwash procedures; items unnecessary to the facility’s operations were cluttered in the basement storage area and presented a potential harborage area; warewash sinks did not have basins large enough to accommodate the largest piece of equipment needing manual cleaning; cutting boards and food storage containers; alteration or construction began prior to plan submission and approval.

If you've ever wondered why they make those storage containers so difficult to open, here's your explanation: "Oxygen can ruin the quality of food and also degrade nutrients. When storing food out of its original box, make sure it is in an air-tight container," explained Amador.

I’ve depended on a vacuum sealer in my kitchen for so many years that I cannot imagine getting along without it. Now and then I get lazy, and then I get an immediate jolt that reminds me why I do this.

The best way to temporarily store bare root trees is by a process known as “heeling in.” Dig a shallow V-shaped trench in a protected, shady area of your yard. Remove any packaging from around the roots, then place the rootball into the trench so that it is entirely below ground, with the tree lying down against the side of but outside the trench. Cover the rootball with loose soil or sawdust, then water it lightly but frequently to keep it moist, not saturated. A wheelbarrow in the garage works well as a temporary storage “trench” too.

“We have had great success using Twitter, Facebook and the KSP Mobile App to share winter weather updates,” notes Lawson. “We encourage drivers to check road and weather conditions before traveling by visiting https://transportation.ky.gov/sites/GoKY/home, an online traffic, roadway information and weather portal operated by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.”

Screen options are rather limited right now, but with growing interest in solar food drying we can hope for more products to emerge in the near future. Other materials may be suitable for solar dryer screens, including nylon, polyester, Teflon-coated fiberglass and natural fibers.

A LPKF U4 UV laser patterned a commercial substrate (DuPont Pyralux AP8535R) to form a flexible printed circuit board for the wireless, battery-free electronics. Pulsed mode electroplating (LPKF Contac S4) filled the vias with copper to form connections between the top and bottom layers of the device. The electronics assembly consisted of soldering the microcontroller and NFC front-end combination (TI RF430FRL152H), zero cross-over operational amplifier (ADA4505-2, Analog Devices), and various passive resistor and capacitor components in 0201 form factor, using low-temperature solder (In/Sn 90/10, Indium Corp.) paste. Last, a 14-μm-thick layer of parylene formed by chemical vapor deposition (SCS Labcoter 2 Parylene Deposition System; Specialty Coating Systems, IN) serves as a waterproof encapsulation for the entire system of NFC electronics.

Breast milk isn’t what one would expect to find in a restaurant refrigerator, but Philadelphia food inspectors sure did.

The instructions say to scuff up shiny surfaces, such as metal or some plastics, then mist one surface with water, apply glue to the other surface, and clamp them securely for at least one to two hours while the glue cures. (With dense hardwoods, the instructions say to mist both surfaces first.) Embedded in those simple instructions are some non-obvious 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.
