Everything You Need to Know about Meat Temperatures When Cooking at Home Did you know that eating undercooked meat can result in ingested bacteria like listeria, E. coli, or salmonella? The consumption of these bacteria causes an estimated 96,000 illnesses, 3,200 hospitalizations, and 31 deaths in the U.S. every year. Even though we often focus on safety when we look at cooking temperatures, texture and flavor are also important considerations. But how do I know which temperature to cook my meat at, and how do I measure it? Fortunately, technology has solved this challenge by inventing the meat thermometer. This is the device we focus on in this article. We also answer several questions associated with meat temperatures when cooking at home.

5G Wireless By The Numbers [Updated Statistics in 2021] The internet has always been a bastion of false information. However, the novel coronavirus, which peaked in 2020, seems to have set the conspiracy theory mill into overdrive. One of the theories that have been spreading around the globe as fast as the virus itself is the unsubstantiated claim that 5G is linked to COVID-19. The false claims connecting the spread of COVID-19 to 5G technology did not just spark apprehension among an already restless public; they also resulted in damage to property when wayward individuals set telecommunication towers on fire. Even though the theories claiming that 5G networks accelerate the spread of the coronavirus have been debunked by the World Health Organization, many people still repeat the claims made by anti-5G activists.

How Safe Is Your Tap Water? Everything You Need to Know In 2019, the Guardian and Consumer Reports conducted a nine-month investigation that found “alarming levels of chemicals such as lead and arsenic” in tap water across the U.S. Other media reports referenced studies that question whether permitted elements in tap water such as fluoride could be harmful to specific groups of people.

Should I trust the authorities when they tell me that the water coming from the tap is safe? Can I do anything to protect myself from contaminated water? Could filters be the answer to the problem of contaminated water? In this article, we answer these questions, hoping that by the time you get to the end of the article, you will have an idea of how you can ensure that you and your family are drinking safe water.

Now consider that with an estimated lifetime of at least 450 years, plastic will outlive you as well as your great-great-great-great-grandchildren. At worst case – it will NEVER go away.

How Covid-19 Catapulted The Rise Of DTC Beauty Brands Direct-to-consumer (DTC) cosmetic brands were already big news before Covid-19 hit. For example, in March 2019, Forbes declared 21-year old Kylie Jenner the world’s “youngest self-made billionaire,” mainly based on the value of her company, Kylie Cosmetics. In 2020, global management consulting firm McKinsey reported that before Covid-19, “in-store shopping comprised up to 85 percent of all beauty product purchases.” However, in the aftermath of the pandemic, nearly 30 percent of the beauty-industry market was shut down—this created space for the growth of DTC consumer brands. What are DTC cosmetic brands? Which DTC brands are the fastest-growing? How have Chinese DTC brands expanded across the globe during Covid-19? How are traditional brick-and-mortar businesses reacting to the rapid growth of DTC brands? These are the questions we answer in this article.

Water Drop
The Lazy Man's Guide to Water Filtration vs. Water Purification Do you know that an average home uses about 80-100 gallonsof water per day to accomplish indoor tasks, such as taking showers and flushing the toilet? However, 29% of the world's population lives off contaminated water. Such water causes more deaths in a year than wars and violent crimes combined. Every two minutes, a child dies of a disease caused by ingesting unclean water. What the numbers above show is that freshwater is vital for the health and wellbeing of humans. Thus, homeowners who get their water from different sources often choose a water filtration or purification system. Even though these two systems may seem interchangeable, they are different in several fundamental ways.
