That's right – your nose is home to an entire host of microorganisms, just like the rest of your body. The different types of 'good' or 'bad' bacteria

That's right – your nose is home to an entire host of microorganisms, just like the rest of your body. The different types of 'good' or 'bad' bacteria specific to the nasal cavities might end up protecting you from certain health issues, or putting you more at risk of others.

The inspiration for this new study came from the mother of one of the researchers, who was having problems with headaches and chronic rhinosinusitis – a condition that causes pain and swelling in the sinuses and nasal cavity.

"My mother had tried many different treatments, but none worked," says microbiologist Sarah Lebeer, from the University of Antwerp in Belgium. "I was thinking it's a pity that I could not advise her some good bacteria or probiotics for the nose. No one had ever really studied it."

German court ruling clears the way to settle VW diesel cases

Ask Ethan: How Are Mega-Constellations Of Satellites Changing The Night Sky?

This image shows the first 60 Starlink satellites launched into orbit on May 23, 2019. They are... [+] still in their stacked configuration, just prior to being deployed. You can clearly see that these satellites are quite reflective and quite large; continuing to launch such satellites even after many legitimate concerns and solutions have been brought to SpaceX's attention has raised many issues and questions of interest among the general public and the astronomy community.

Ask Ethan: How Are Mega-Constellations Of Satellites Changing The Night Sky?

For countless millennia, human beings have gazed up into the abyss of the night sky, mesmerized by the natural wonders of the planets, stars, and Universe beyond our world. Beginning with Sputnik in 1957, however, humanity began contending with artificial points of light streaking through the sky: satellites. With the push towards mega-constellations involving thousands of new satellites, many have

How And Why You Can See The Moon During The Day This Week

Time it right and you can easily see the Moon during the day.

Have you ever seen the Moon during the day? Our satellite is generally assumed by most people to be visible only during darkness, but every month the Moon is visible during daylight for the exactly the same time as in darkness. 

Although it’s almost always possible to see the Moon during the day for at least a short time, the best and easiest time to see the Moon is this week, when it’s getting brighter as it waxes towards its “full” phase on Friday, June 5, 2020. It will be

48 Years Later NASA’s Apollo 17 Just Found A Moon-Melting Meteorite Of Dinosaur-Killing Size

Scientist-astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt, Apollo 17 lunar module pilot, collects lunar rake samples at Station 1 during the mission's first spacewalk at the Taurus-Littrow landing site. This picture was taken by astronaut Eugene A. Cernan, commander. The lunar rake, an Apollo lunar geology hand tool, is used to collect discrete samples of rocks and rock chips ranging in size from one-half inch (1.3 centimeters) to 1 inch (2.5 centimeters).

Was the Moon struck by the kind of meteorite that ended the reign of the dinosaurs on Earth?

That event 66 million years ago saw a 6-9 miles/10-15 kilometers-wide meteorite or comet strike Earth close to Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula and leave a scar now known as Chicxulub crater.

Philosophy of Education ( is a label applied to the study of the purpose, process, nature and ideals of education) Reading Comprehension Passages with Question & Answers

Reading Comprehension Passages with Q&A 

Passage

Philosophy of Education is a label applied to the study of the purpose, process, nature and ideals of education. It can be considered a branch of both philosophy and education. Education can be defined as the teaching and learning of specific skills, and the imparting of knowledge, judgment and wisdom, and is something broader than the societal institution of education we often speak of.

Many educationalists consider it a weak and woolly field, too far removed from the practical applications of the real world to be useful. But philosophers dating back to Plato and the Ancient Greeks have given the area much thought and emphasis, and there is little doubt that their work has helped shape the practice of education over the millennia.

Plato is the earliest important educational thinker, and education is an essential
