A team of scientists has discovered the first robust example of a new type of magnet—one that holds promise for enhancing the performance of data storage technologies.

The seal is completely airtight and the BPA-free plastic containers are sturdy. They are also stackable to help you make the most of your cupboard space. The rounded corners of the containers make it easy to pour out cereal, sugar, or whatever else is inside, too.

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.

The electronic designs, integration methods, and materials reported here serve as the foundations for light-weight, miniaturized, soft, battery-free, skin-interfaced technologies that combine biofuel cell sensors, colorimetric assays, NFC electronics, and soft microfluidics for simultaneous detection of lactate, glucose, chloride, pH, and sweat rate/loss. Together, these parameters provide a greater depth of understanding about physiological state under various physical stressors than that possible by monitoring a single parameter. The result is a wearable chemical sensing platform that is much lighter, smaller, and cheaper than the earlier reported wearable sensors with similar performance capabilities. A releasable magnetic coupling scheme for joining the microelectronic and microfluidic subsystems allows for reuse of the former and for single-use operation of the latter. The wireless interface enables both battery-free operation and robust acquisition of digital data generated by the biofuel cell–based electrochemical sensors. Human subject studies demonstrate that these devices can attach robustly to the soft, curved surfaces of the skin without failure during physical exercise, thereby providing continuous, multimodal information associated with sweat loss and sweat chemistry, both of which can be used to assess physiological health, performance, and fatigue. Rigorous 2-day field studies and correlation of data acquired by glucose and lactate sweat sensors with blood levels demonstrate both the ability for long-term use and the potential for noninvasive tracking of blood analyte concentrations. Future efforts will focus on further optimizing device performance and validating its use in extensive large-scale human trails including diabetic patients. Adapting the designs and materials introduced here for applications in tracking patients with kidney disease, in screening for cystic fibrosis, in monitoring pharmacokinetics, and in measuring effects of pressure ischemia and stress markers represents promising directions for future research.

For the past few weeks, I have been alleviating the discomfort of sniffy, itchy, sleep with the Dyson Pure Cool. It’s part fan, part air purifier, and part air quality sensor. And given that it’s made by Dyson, it kinda works as a piece of abstract sculpture, too.

A single Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer acts as a bronzer, contour creator, and even subtle highlighter. The formula comes in a variety of shade depths that make it appealing to a range of skin tones and types, and it’s easy enough to apply for even makeup novices. Plus, it’s less than the price of a gourmet salad.

Tafenoquine has performed comparably with primaquine in terms of hemoglobin level decrease in individuals with malaria and normal glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme levels.

It’s worth noting that you’ll want to fly as under the radar as possible. Stealth is the name of the game here. You want a backpack that looks as low-key as possible — nothing flashy or ornate. Think drab, functional, and military issue. It should be capable of carrying everything you need to without looking like you’re stocked to the gills. Sociologists and preparedness experts agree the first 72 hours after a disaster are critical. If widespread power outages and food and water shortages last beyond three days, society can start to break down very quickly. You don’t want to become a target for the roving hordes of Mad Max-style bandits looking for guns, booze, and snacks.

• If transporting the tree to a recycler, tie down the tree with easy-to-cut twine, and don't bag it.

Some printer owners are newbies and those plastics are different than what most people print anyway. Breaking away support and cutting the acrylic grids are very different.

South Oxfordshire District Council, which owns the centre, is to refurbish the dry side changing room as water from the showers is seeping into the adjacent sports hall, damaging the walls and possibly the floor.

It’s no understatement to say that anything that goes into my van has a specific place to live. Our sunscreen, bug spray, and baby wipes stay in a small box cabinet at the sliding door entry, conveniently located so we don’t have to go inside the van to grab them.
