What is the 9/11 Museum?

What is the 9/11 Museum? Thanks for asking!It’s been twenty years since the 9/11 attacks which shocked the entire world, killing 2977 people. As part of the commemorations, President Biden is due to visit the three plane crash sites in New York City, Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon. Part of the memorial at Ground Zero in New York includes the 9/11 Museum, which was inaugurated in May 2014 by then President Barack Obama. Its construction cost over $700M, and its aim is to ensure we and future generations never forget that fateful morning, all the while sending a message of hope, resilience and unity. Of course, it’s important to remember such historical tragedies and learn from them, but the museum has not been without its critics since day one.What’s it like inside the museum?

What is squirting?

What is squirting? Thanks for asking!OK, so from their teenage years onwards most men get used to fluid shooting out of their genitals on a regular basis. But female ejaculation is a thing too, and it’s known colloquially as squirting.Most often, it’s when a woman expels fluid from the vulva either before or during an orgasm. It’s generally seen as a pleasurable sensation, even when it doesn’t happen at the same time as a climax.The terms squirting and female ejaculation are commonly used interchangeably, but some researchers have suggested they are two distinct phenomena.So squirting actually exists outside the world of porn? What is this mysterious fluid that comes out then? What are the secrets to making a woman squirt?

What is terraforming?

What is terraforming? Thanks for asking!If you’re a fan of sci-fi, the idea of terraformation should be familiar. It refers to all the techniques and technologies which aim to transform the surface of a planet, making it suitable for human inhabitation. Basically, it means making a planet similar to Earth.To make a Hollywood comparison, that’s exactly the purpose of the Weyland-Yutani company in Ridley Scott’s Alien series. Terraforming may have originally been dreamt up in works of fiction, but today's real-world science has taken inspiration and is trying damn hard to put it into practice. The first recorded use of the term terraforming appeared in Astounding Science Fiction magazine in 1942.Which planets would be most likely terraforming candidates? So, how likely is it we could survive on Mars? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!To listen to the last episodes, you can click here:What is empty nest syndrome? What is air rage?

Thanks for asking!With the summer holiday season drawing to a close, many university students are preparing to leave home for the first time and head to campus accommodation.While they’re enjoying freshers week, chances are their parents may be finding it unsettling that their child is no longer present at home.

Shouldn’t parents be happy to see their children moving forwards in life? What can parents do to cope with empty nest syndrome?

What is air rage?

What is air rage? Thanks for asking!Many of us have not set foot on an aeroplane for quite some time, and the idea of being crammed alongside other passengers for a long flight is potentially unnerving, what with Covid still circulating. Of late, a number of amateur clips have gone viral, showing passengers becoming aggressive and sometimes even violent towards fellow fliers or airline staff. Such incidents are examples of air rage, a phenomenon which is currently causing concern.In recent weeks, the Federal Aviation Administration and Transport Security Administration have both been sounding the alarm.

The World Health Organisation quickly released a statement saying the outbreak was of “immense concern.” It also sent 5,000 vaccine doses to the country, with the Ivorian health ministry earmarking the first shots for contact cases and frontline healthcare workers. As of August 25th, the Guinean woman was declared cured, having tested negative twice within two days.Just how serious is the Ebola virus? How do people catch Ebola?
