I am more convinced than ever that healthy eating is one of the most cost-effective things we can do to reduce health care costs. That’s why I thought we needed a powerful juicer to make healthy smoothies every morning. So I purchased a highly rated juicer — and used it exactly two times before it became a dust collector and space occupier.

“Some of my meds have previously come from Germany and I do worry about whether this will affect their availability,”  says Amy Simpkins, 25.

The Planck scale works according to the principle of electromagnetic force compensation: A weight force on one side of the scale is balanced by an electromagnetic force on the other side. This means that weights (so-called ...

Hm, I've asked my insurance guys in two countries (Germany and Thailand, I switch between the two) and they basically all said forget it, it's not worth it or there's none. Maybe someone can recommend one nevertheless? Haven't really looked into it much tbh.

For a no-nonsense, super-effective option, look to food container company Sistema, which has a wide range of storage solutions to suit all kinds of kitchens.

If you're looking for something to collect, the Toy Story My Lip Balms ($9 each, us.innisfree.com) should be major contenders. There are three cute options, featuring Woody, Buzz, and Jessie, all with cartons that match their packaging. Jessie's flavor is "Wedding Peach Tea," Woody's is "Sunkissed Cherry Tea," and Buzz's is "Ruby Grapefruit Tea."

In a relatively short disaster scenario, odds are good that society will keep it together. After that, once food and water supplies start to run dry, civility can quickly turn to desperation. If things get really bad, you’re going to want some way to defend you and yours.

Considering my experience with foundation is on par with many men, I decided to add it to my weekday makeup routine for four days and see if anyone noticed my skin looking extra even, or, dare I say, manly. Because winter has made my skin desert-cactus-level dry, I added a full pump of foundation to my favorite moisturizer, sheering it out slightly more and making the otherwise matte finish quite dewy. And because I am a dedicated journalist, I also swiped on the balm and filled in my brows with the pencil, both pleasant experiences, if not so different than my typical routine. Truly, the only difference I could see between this brow product and the women’s version were four available shades compared to six, longer and more substantial packaging (better for man hands to hold it, I guess), and it costs $7 more. Gender pay gap much?

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.

We’re pretty sure this L’Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion Natural Glow Enhance made the list of bestselling drugstore beauty products because it’s good for so many different skin types and shades. You don’t even have to be a big makeup lover to benefit from this liquid—just add a drop or two on your fingers to the tops of your cheekbones after you’ve cleansed and hydrated and you’ll look like a forever-glowy angel.

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.
