When you buy meat and poultry, its freshness and safety is probably your number-one concern. Unfortunately, few of us have confidence in the “sell by” dates on package labels. And relying on appearance and smell can be deceiving - especially when inert gasses are added to meat packages; they extend the appearance of freshness and add confusing odors.

The revolutionary SensorfreshQ is an affordable, portable, handheld electronic “nose” that uses leading-edge food-safety technology to quickly measure the bacteriological activity on uncooked meat or poultry.

Stonehenge is certainly surrounded by mystery concerning why it was built and by whom.

You can now harness the power of the sun and the stones by using the Stonehenge Watch. Just position the watch using the accompanying high viscosity compass to tell local apparent time just as the builders of Stonehenge did thousands of years ago.

The Stonehenge Watch allows you to predict the exact moment of the winter and summer solstices.
