Title:  A result by Davenport and Lewis on additive equations.

Abstract:  We will present a result by Davenport and Lewis which states that an additive form with coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of degree $d$ in $s>d^2$ variables has a non- trivial $p$-adic solution. No knowledge of the $p$-adics is necessary.
