But the expansion of polyurethane glue is a benefit only if the two surfaces are securely held together with screws, clamps or even tightly wrapped tape while the adhesive cures. Polyurethane glue expands to three or four times its initial thickness, said Danielle Guido, consumer affairs specialist for Gorilla Glue. "So if you don't clamp it, it pushes the two surfaces apart."

Bulk Cooking All-starsThe Best Slow Cookers for Every Personality and SituationEven if you don’t own a slow cooker, you can still cook up big batches of food before they go bad. As many of you know, spinach is the poster child for bulk-cooking—dump a mountain of spinach into a sautée pan, season, heat, and stir, and suddenly you have a palm-sized amount of cooked greens ready to eat or store. While kale does not shrink down like spinach, you can make a large amount of it more palatable by making it into chips; get our Baked Kale Chips recipe, and eat them as snacks, or sprinkle over ramen and rice dishes for additional texture and flavor. Too much basil? Make pesto! And you can always go with that age-old method of cooking twice as much of any recipe to start, and saving the leftovers.

●Avoid using cruise control which can cause a vehicle’s wheels to continue turning on a slippery surface when speed needs to be decreased.

Your laptop takes up a lot of surface area when flat, so store it vertically using the OMOTON vertical laptop stand. Able to fit most laptop or notebooks, it's made from anodized aluminum alloy that's scratch-resistant and durable so that your computer won't fall over. Plus, it even comes with its own non-slip silicone mat.

Argan oil is the weightless, moisture and shine-giving oil straight out of North Africa that high-end hair care companies love to use —but believe it or not, you can find it in a drugstore formula, too. Herbal Essences Argan Oil of Morocco Shampoo cleanses and then adds weightless hydration back to your hair with just the right touch of real argan oil. Learn more about the benefits of Argan oil for your hair and skin.

Now, we’ve banished all bags from our van. Instead, we pack clothes into InterDesign clear bins from the Container Store. Although originally designed for fridges and pantries, the Jumbo size fits in many upper cabinets, and the smaller bins are good for holding socks, gloves, or hats. Because we pack straight into the clear bins, things are easy to see, clothes stay more organized, and we don’t have to try to store awkward duffle bags when we’re on the road.

The biofuel cell design for the sensors is a critical feature of the systems. A scheme that illustrates the components of the lactate sensor is in Fig. 3A, whereby the anode consists of circularly cut carbon nanotube (CNT) paper that provides a conductive, high–surface area substrate to immobilize lactate oxidase enzyme for selectively catalyzing lactate oxidation and the redox mediator tetrathiafulvalene for shuttling electrons between the enzyme’s active sites and the underlying CNT paper. According to the datasheet provided by the supplier, the Michaelis constant for lactate oxidase is ~1 mM. The average concentration of lactate in sweat, however, is ~14 mM (38). Hence, a diffusion barrier is essential to prevent sensor saturation and to extend the detection limit into the physiological range. Side effects of such a barrier include reduced sensor sensitivity and increased response time. A chitosan and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane coat the anode to minimize leaching of the mediator and enzyme and to extend the linear detection range of the sensor. The cathode consists of a functionalized current collector of gold with an overlayer of platinum black, all coated with a Nafion membrane. The platinum black acts as a catalyst for oxygen reduction, while the Nafion membrane prevents leaching of the platinum black. The fluoride backbone of the Nafion polymer facilitates adsorption of dissolved oxygen onto the cathode’s surface, thereby improving the kinetic rate of oxygen reduction. An optical photograph of the complete lactate sensor is in Fig. 3B.

You can hydrate and brighten your skin all at once with a single-use Peach Slices Brighten Mask at a very-reasonable $2.49. Each mask is infused with skin-helping sea buckthorn, fig, and rose to keep your skin at its glowiest and most delightful.

On average, Americans waste 400 pounds of food, per person, every year! Sounds like a lot, right? But think about those times you didn’t get to that cilantro before it got slimy, or how one bad apple really did spoil the whole bunch. And what about all those un-appetizing leftovers, and all that overzealous bulk grocery shopping—how much of that food ended up in the garbage? Save your food from untimely demise in the waste bin with these helpful food-saving mantras.
