So while ordinary human-based proofs are still essential, the computer leads the way in assisting mathematicians to identify new theorems and chart a route to formal proof. What’s more, one can argue that in many cases computations are more compelling than human-based proofs. There is every indication that research mathematicians…
Lemon juice is not a chemical product and can be effective in repelling and killing fleas. You can try this method to get rid of the fleas; the fragrance might help in repelling them. However, it should be noted that no absolute and assured result shows that lemon juice is…
Concrete made with Portland cement will harden even if it is completely under water. In fact, one technique for curing a concrete slab is to build a soil dam around the perimeter of the slab, flood the slab with water and keep the slab covered with water for a week.…
Concrete sets more slowly when it is cold—very slow below 50°F; below 40°F the hydration reaction basically stops and the concrete doesn’t gain strength. But these are concrete temperatures not air temperatures. So when it’s cold, we need to protect the concrete until it can handle the cold on its…
If you use a water based stain on outdoor concrete, I recommend you seal it. The sealant will not only protect the concrete from water and weather related damage, but it will also protect the color. Typically, acid stains are a more durable choice for staining exterior concrete than water…
The willingness to pay a price increase ranges, with at least 60% of respondents willing to pay a 10% mark up for products they consider sustainable and 10% even willing to pay between 25% and 40% more. The idea of sustainability sells and research from YouGov reveals many consumers worldwide…
While contact paper itself will not ruin wood when applied, the self-sticking type may cause some damage if it is removed. When removing adhesive contact paper, it has a tendency to leave a sticky residue. Will contact paper mess up wood cabinets? Contact paper can be placed on top of…
During the cooking process, “it’s important to cook raw turkey thoroughly to kill harmful bacteria such as salmonella,” Glatter explained. “Whole turkeys, ground poultry, turkey breasts, and turkey burgers should always be cooked to an internal temperature of 165-degrees Fahrenheit to kill harmful bacteria.” The short answer: Yes, cooking can…
What’s more, cooking mushrooms also kills any remaining germs that may be lurking. “Commercial mushrooms should not be contaminated with common food pathogens like Salmonella or E. Coli, which are quite heat-resistant,” says Norton. Evidently, mushrooms are healthier to eat when cooked. The reason is that their cell walls that…
Many landlords don’t allow renters to drill holes into walls, which is necessary for installing curtain rod hooks. Fortunately, it is still possible to install curtain rods with Command hooks. Place the curtain rod onto the hooks. You can now hang your curtain onto the rod. How you do this…
