Levitation -- it is a time-honored staple among superpowers and magic spells, but it's

not totally fictional.

In the real world, we can use magnets to levitate anything from trains to metal desk toys.

And you might think levitating something nonmagnetic, say, like a large sack of mostly water, is

just for Hermione Granger or Jean Grey -- but it's not.

It can actually happen, thanks to a phenomenon called diamagnetic levitation.

And scientists don't just use it to pretend to be superheroes.

It has a lot of potential applications, both in industry and research.

We often classify materials as either being magnetic or non-magnetic, but that's not

entirely accurate.

See, inside an atom, electrons are constantly buzzing around creating little loops of current.

And because of the relationship between electricity and magnetism, that current produces a magnetic

field for each electron.

Under most circumstances, the direction of all those magnetic fields are random, so they

cancel each other out.

But when an atom is placed inside another magnetic field, it adds an additional force

to the electrons.

This essentially changes their motion so that the atom gets a tiny, net magnetic field that

opposes the external one.

This interaction is called diamagnetism, and because magnetic fields pointing in opposite

directions repel each other, it produces a teeny, tiny repulsive force.

Every material experiences this -- from a block of wood to an iron bar magnet -- but

diamagnetism is only one type of magnetism, and it's the weakest.

There's also paramagnetism, where atoms become weakly attracted to a magnet in an

external magnetic field, and ferromagnetism, which is probably what you think about when

someone says "magnetic".

Ferromagnetic materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt can hold onto their own permanent

magnetic field long after they've been removed from an external one.

Even though paramagnetism is still pretty weak, both it and ferromagnetism are much

stronger than diamagnetism and will overpower it.

But diamagnetic compounds are still pretty awesome.

Because they only ever experience a repulsive force when exposed to a magnetic field, it

allows them to be levitated.

Essentially, they can counter the downward pull of gravity with an upward magnetic push.

This was first demonstrated by Werner Braunbeck in 1939, when he used an electromagnet -- a

temporary magnet created by running an electric current through a coiled wire -- to levitate

small pieces of graphite and bismuth.

Then, scientists kind of forgot about it until the 1990s.

In the meantime, researchers also experimented with superconductors -- substances that expel

magnetic fields at super low temperatures.

They can levitate, too, but they use the quirks of quantum mechanics to physically 'lock'

themselves into place relative to an external magnetic field.

It looks really cool, but it's not quite the same thing as room-temperature diamagnetic

levitation.

When that research started back up again, scientists were quick to test it out on a

lot of seemingly silly items, including hazelnuts, tiny pieces of pizza, and animals, including

frogs and a 10-gram mouse.

Those animals required a magnetic field 1000 times stronger than a fridge magnet to float

-- or about 16 or 17 Tesla -- and they came out of the experience with no negative side

effects.

Also, watching things float around is a pretty fun day at the lab.

If you're feeling ambitious, you can even demonstrate diamagnetic levitation yourself,

using an L-shaped iron rod, some neodymium magnets, and a piece of mechanical pencil

lead, which is made of graphite.

If you arrange it all correctly, the pencil lead will hover about a millimeter above the

magnets.

But let's be honest: The real question here is whether or not you can use diamagnetism

to levitate yourself.

And the answer is yes.

Theoretically.

According to magnet designers from the National High Magnetic Field Lab in Florida, you'd

need a magnet only slightly weaker than their record-holding 45-Tesla Hybrid Magnet, along

with 1 GigaWatt of continuous power consumption to keep the system cool enough to operate.

That might seem promising, but all these super powerful magnets have very small experiment

spaces -- I'm talking less than 10 centimeters.

That'd be pretty snug.

So you probably won't be floating thanks to diamagnetic levitation any time soon, but

it does have more uses than just looking cool.

For one, it could be used in place of lubrication or ball bearings for truly frictionless transport.

Magnetic bearings already exist and are used to support things like maglev trains, but

they require sophisticated electronics and a continuous power input.

So diamagnetics would be a cheaper option.

They could also be used to control satellites in orbit around planets with magnetic fields.

Scientists can manipulate the diamagnetic properties of graphite using laser light,

and they could develop a system to control a spacecraft's orientation relative to the

planet's field.

And on the research side of things, because diamagnetic levitation operates on an atomic

and molecular level, it could be used to simulate weightlessness in Earth-based labs.

It's not a perfect replication, but it could used to model things like how microgravity

affects fluid dynamics, crystal growth, or biological tissues -- or, for small enough

animals, bone and muscle loss, and cardiovascular changes.

And that would be a lot cheaper than launching experiments into space.

Scientists are still figuring out how they'll use all of this, but we know that, whatever

diamagnetism ends up being used for, it's gonna look pretty cool.

When Giant Fungi Ruled - Duration: 6:38.

420 million years ago, a giant rose along the river banks of what would become North

America.

It feasted on the dead, growing slowly into the largest living thing on land.

This towering colossus wasn't animal, plant, or mineral.

Instead, it belonged to an unlikely group of pioneers that ultimately made life on land

possible -- the fungi.

If you're anywhere on land right now -- like, not on a fishing boat or a floating oil rig

-- then all of the life that you see around you is there, because of fungi...

... fungi like the small, unassuming little decomposer known as Tortotubus protuberans.

It's one of the earliest known fungi in the fossil record, dating back 440 million

years, to the early Silurian Period.

Tortotubus grew near coastlines and rivers on the supercontinents of Gondwana and Laurentia

-- in regions that would eventually become New York, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, and Scotland.

But back then, life in these places was anything but lush.

On land, signs of life were sparse -- there were bacteria, algae, early plants like liverworts,

and possibly some of the first terrestrial arthropods.

But if it weren't for fungi, things probably would've stayed that way.

Because, even though they weren't very big, early fungi like Tortotubus had a superpower

-- the ability to break down almost anything, using digestive enzymes.

Fungi eat by releasing enzymes that break down organic matter.

This allows them to take the nutrients they need from the material, while helping the

rest to decompose.

But! These enzymes can be so powerful that they can eat into solid rock.

Given enough time, and some help from erosion, many fungi can weaken rocky earth and eventually

form fertile soil that plants can sink their roots into.

So big, complex life on land -- like vascular plants -- probably wouldn't have been possible

if Tortotubus and its fungal predecessors hadn't prepared the land first.

Once plant life started to spread and diversify on land in the Devonian Period, fungi were

there to help again.

Some scientists think that the first land plants used symbiotic fungi in their roots

to help them gather and transport nutrients.

In fact, most plants still do this today.

If you pull a plant out of the soil, you'll probably see a lot of dirt sticking to little

white hair-things on the roots.

Those hair-things are actually bundles of nutrient-absorbing tendrils -- called hyphae

-- from fungi living symbiotically with the plant.

And these fungal structures are incredibly important for making arable soil that plants

can grow in.

They help stabilize soil, retain moisture, and hang on to nitrogen.

So without fungi, soil would just be ... non-nutritious dirt.

But ya know what's weird?

Despite their starring role in making life on land possible, ancient fungi haven't

been studied very much by scientists.

That's probably why, back in the 1800s, when paleontologists discovered a fossil that

was eight times taller than the tallest plants of its time, no one expected it to be a fungus.

Geologists first discovered this enormous fossil in 1843, during a coal survey in Gaspé

Bay, Canada.

It was more than 8 meters tall, shaped kind of like a tree trunk.

And it came from a layer of earth that dated back 420 million years, when the Silurian

Period gave way to the Devonian -- a good 20 million years after Tortotubus first appears

in the fossil record.

And for a long time, researchers were totally stumped by this specimen.

Stumped? Is that supposed to be some kind of tree trunk joke?

The fossil remained unstudied in a museum collection for years before a Canadian paleontologist

named John William Dawson had found more, new specimens in the 1850s, and tried to classify

them.

Dawson thought this thing might be a primitive conifer tree with some sort of fungus growing

on it.

So he named it Prototaxites, which means "first yew," after the tree he thought it most

resembled.

Then, in 1872, botanist William Carruthers wrote a paper saying that Prototaxites couldn't

possibly be a plant.

He said it was probably a giant mound of algae, possibly kelp.

And, to his credit, English botanist Arthur Harry Church also studied Prototaxites in

1919, and he said it probably was a fungus.

But nobody really paid much attention to him at the time which is...too bad.

So, based on Carruthers' findings, Prototaxites was filed under "probably weird algae"

for more than a century.

Until the 1990s, when Francis Hueber, a curator at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History,

took yet another look.

And he focused on a feature of Prototaxites that had long puzzled scientists: these strange

rings.

They looked kind of like growth rings, like what you find in modern trees.

But the rings in Prototaxites were lopsided and not always concentric.

So Hueber examined them under the microscope and found long, tube-shaped cells that were

similar to the hyphae found in modern fungi.

He concluded that Prototaxites wasn't a plant at all, but rather a member of Team

Fungus.

And this was the same conclusion of another study done in 2007, that looked at the chemical

makeup of the fossils.

Now, how can chemistry tell you whether something's a fungus?

The answer -- as always! -- is carbon.

We talk about carbon a lot around here, because carbon is the stuff of life.

And different kinds of living things can be identified by how much carbon, and of what

kinds, a fossil contains.

The thing that researchers focus on here is the ratio of various isotopes of carbon, like

carbon-12 and carbon-13.

Plants have pretty consistent ratios of Carbon-12 to -13, because they all get their carbon

from the same place -- the CO2 in the air.

But things that eat instead of photosynthesize -- like animals and fungi -- pick up carbon

isotopes from their food, so their ratios can vary a lot.

And the 2007 study compared the isotopes in several fossils of Prototaxites from different

eras and found that those ratios changed radically over time, probably as its food sources changed.

This means Prototaxites was not a photosynthesizer, but an eater -- it got its food from other

living things.

Now, there's still a chance that this enormous not-plant-thing was something else, like a

lichen.

Despite looking like weird plants, lichens are actually fungal hybrids that house their

own algae or photosynthetic bacteria.

So far, no one's come up with a good way to prove whether Prototaxites was a pure fungus

or a lichen.

But, either way, it was a giant in its day.

And it marks the peak of fungi's reign over life on land.

When they first appeared in the Early Devonian, the fungal spires of Prototaxites towered

over everything else that grew, burrowed, and crawled around them.

Like the humble Tortotubus, Prototaxites fed on dead stuff.

But unlike its tiny predecessor, the giant fungus sent out huge networks of hyphae in

all directions, sending food back to its central pillar.

And in turn, it may have been a source food, and shelter, for early invertebrates.

Scientists have even found little "bore-holes" and tunnels that look like insect burrows

in some of its fossils.

All told, the heyday of the giant fungus spanned 70 million years -- a short time that saw

a lot of change.

When Prototaxites first arrived on the scene, 420 million years ago, vascular plants had

just begun to colonize the land.

But by the time they vanished 350 million years ago, the first trees started to tower

over the fungi that had paved the way for them.

No one's sure why the giant fungus went extinct.

I for one am bummed that I'll never get to see one.

Some speculate that it grew too slowly to recover from being chewed on by invertebrates

all the time

Others suggest that the rise of land plants brought too much competition for nutrients.

Either way, ever since the demise of Prototaxites, for hundreds of millions of years, fungi have

continued to thrive, but with a much lower profile.

Today they're mostly found in the dark, close to the surface, and even underground.

But the world we live in was made possible by these fungal pioneers -- with their ability

to digest rock to create soil, and to derive life from death.

Thanks for putting the fun in fungi with me today!

ACF Reviews - Air Combat: the beginning of the Ace Combat series - Duration: 10:11.

Hello Aces, it's time for an ACF review and we're going to start with the game responsible

for creating the most successful and loved flight shooter franchise in gaming history!

And of course I'm talking about Air Combat!

So let's do this!

Air Combat was Namco's first console game on the flight shooter genre, this game was

released in 1995 for the PlayStation One however its development team already had some previous

experience with the arcade genre, since they had created an arcade game in 1993 that also

called Air Combat.

Talking about names, internationally this game was marketed as Air Combat however on

Namco's home country, Japan, this game was called "Ace Combat" which became the official

name of the series and its subsequent releases.

The story in Air Combat is very simple.

The player fights as Phoenix, leader of the mercenary Scarface squadron, who is hired

by an unknown country after terrorist forces occupy and take over the government.

Other than that there's not much to say since the game has a very arcady style, but

one thing to point out is that all of the game takes place in a fictional universe,

later known as Strangereal according to future Ace Combat games.

This is of course the opposite of early Namco marketing in North America which implied that

the Scarface Squadron was an elite united hired by NATO to be sent and fight some rebels

in the Middle East.

As far as gameplay goes the player is tasked to destroy specific targets in each mission

that are marked as TGT and are mentioned in the briefing that happens prior to every mission.

Besides the TGTs, the player also has the option to destroy secondary targets as he

can also earn more credits from them.

With the credits players can purchase and play with a total of 16 aircraft, each with

its strengths and weaknesses which are displayed in the hangar.

With that said, players can choose an aircraft that is better suited for each mission such

as an attacker for air-to-ground attacks or an aircraft that better suits the player style.

Time to complete each mission is presented on the top left of the HUD as the fuel bar.

The HUD is very easy and straightforward.

It includes your airspeed on the left, an artificial horizon in the middle, your altimeter

to the right, your heading on the top, your radar on the bottom left corner which is toggled

automatically to what you are targeting, the damage indicator in the bottom right corner

and finally the ammo counter on the very bottom.

Due to the arcady style of the game and the number of enemies all the aircraft start with

65 missiles and almost 10,000 bullets, now of course this is a very unrealistic approach

but it is justified by the nature of the game.

Throughout the missions of the game you will get yelled at by your co-pilot with information

regarding to the battle such as:

And in some missions of the game you will be able to bring a wingman that can help you

complete the missions by covering you or engaging other enemies on his own will.

Also another feature of the game is that after completing the first couple missions of the

game the player is given the option of choosing the next mission in a map with their locations,

however the order the missions are played doesn't change the story nor opens up an

alternate path.

As for the controls, there are two settings namely the novice, for players getting introduced

to the gerne, and the expert controls which give the player more control of the aircraft's

movements.

During my time playing the game, I only had some minor difficulty getting used to the

expert controls since the PlayStation One games don't have an analog stick and so

the player has to use the arrows to maneuver.

One thing I didn't like though is that there are only two cameras in the game, the HUD

and third person view.

And the problem is that the HUD in the third person view is severely limited including

only your ammo and damage indicators which ended up forcing myself to play only in the

HUD view since it's very hard to judge the aircraft's altitude without an altimeter

due to the poor graphics.

Oh yeah, graphics!

There is not much to say in this criteria because as you can see, they suck.

Like I mentioned, one major issue I had was not knowing if I had enough altitude because

you can barely see the terrain.

Other than that, the aircraft were modelled in a simple way with not a lot of detail,

but at least the paint scheme for them was cool - at least for the 90s.

As for the mission designs I do have to give credit for the game because there were many

different types of missions in the game including bomber intercept, dogfighting, air to ground

attacks, ravine flying and even destroying a giant aerial fortress as the enemy superweapon

in the final mission of the game.

The environments was also balanced including missions over forests, cities, deserts, mountains,

the sea and even some that would take place at night - so definitely a positive point

to the game that a total of 17 missions.

Other than missions I should also mention that this game had some very cool bonuses

and unlockables that could be accessed by the secret menu: these include credits, extra

wingmen, different paint schemes and even a secret mini-game that would take place in

the loading screens.

Lastly, one very positive aspect of Air Combat was the background music, the rock soundtrack

of the game was many times a pump of adrenaline to the mission as you can hear right now playing

on the background of this video.

With all of that said let's go for a quick recap of all the criteria followed by my overall

review of the game.

As for the story, there's not much to it.

You have the terrorists, you're a mercenary that has to kill them and so you get freedom

and happiness for everyone - what did you expect from an arcade game?

I wouldn't say the story was either a positive or negative point, just acceptable.

As for the gameplay, I did have fun even though there's no analog since it's a PlayStation

One.

My overall experience was good and you even have the two control modes: the novice (nugget)

and also the expert, which is the one you should play.

There's also a two player mode, I haven't played it, that's why I couldn't record it

but it would probably just end in a turn fight which wouldn't be that fun.

But I never tried, maybe you can!

One problem of the game was the graphics, they just suck.

That's all I can say.

They did decrease my overall enjoyment of the game but the game can still be played

and it is acceptable since this was their first fight shooter game on a console, therefore

it's understandable.

Now here are the good things about Air Combat.

First, there's an immense diversity of missions, each one of them takes place in a different

area with a different terrain, different types of enemies, different objectives and this

does make for an overall better experience.

It's not like same mission and different area or vice-versa.

And right in the end of the game in the last mission you have to fight against the enemy

aerial fortress, which is not like a B-17, IT'S WAY MORE THAN A B-17 FLYING FORTRESS!

It's a huge and massive airplane with anti-air guns and missiles - and this is one of the

key aspects that made its way into the whole Ace Combat series - this concept of the enemy

superweapons (both the flying and the ones that can't fly).

Other than that, and I think probably the best thing about Air Combat overall was the

music.

Seriously, Air Combat, or the series Ace Combat as a whole, would not be the same without

the music and all started right here.

With the rock music it makes you feel like you are a Top Gun pilot (which some people

compare a lot).

And so the music was an important part of the series that had already debuted well in

the first game.

Of course the styles of Ace Combat's soundtracks have expanded in later games, but the original

style made its way in Air Combat as a key element.

Now for my overall review and analysis of the game, or score of the game (and I don't

like to put a number into a game because to me this doesn't make much sense), I'd say

Air Combat is a good game.

If you are into flight shooter and you like playing retro games, definitely do play it.

If you are not into that kind of retro games but you're still an Ace Combat fan, then I'd

say maybe don't go as far as Air Combat.

Instead focus on the subsequent titles, and even maybe Ace Combat 2 and 3 because they

are much improved.

And talking about Ace Combat 2, that's going to be featured in my next review!

So I hope you guys have enjoyed, please let me know what you think about Air Combat in

the comments section, thank you for watching and see you next time!

South Korean TERRORIST Trading WEAPONS For North Korea chan han choi - Duration: 8:44.

Welcome back to my channel

I'm Dave

And if you want to keep updated with what's really going on in Australia click that subscribe button so don't miss out on anything

So today, I'm in Eastwood which is now officially the?

Capital of terrorism in Australia because something massive happened only a couple days ago. This guy called Chan Han Choi who is a

South Korean

born man

He came here when he was about nine years old lived in Australia for about 30 years was arrested on

terrorism charges

for aiding and abetting

North Korea

I want to make this really clear Australia has the highest standard of living and has had the highest standard living

compared to any other country in the world for

Approximately eight years now just in case you're watching this in 15 years time and you're wondering how?

Australia changed in this period so just for future reference

I'm just saying that for someone who might be logging in and watching this video in 15 years time

Compared to even South Korea Korea even today and and Korea 30 years ago had a terrible standard living

Compared to Australia so probably wondering why would someone turn?

informant for

another

rogue regime like North Korea

especially when the standard living so high here and the Australian Federal Police

Have also said that they are absolutely shocked at this, but me personally

I'm not shocked at all now another thing that I'd like to add straight up early in the video

Is there's very big difference between Asians see this guy was born in South Korea?

He lived there for ten years, so he is kind of

Korean by nature he's different from someone who is a was born here. You often see like

60-year old men that have lived here for like 40 years, but they came here in their 20, and they still identify as Chinese

People who are born here are very different. They call them ABCs a bas whatever someone who is born here

Who is Asian has a very different view on Australia than someone who was born overseas and there's a difference between?

How old they were when they were born overseas and came over here so if they came over here when they're 10 years old?

and they lived in an Asian Enclave which was extremely racist like I

Perceive eastland to be their view on the world would be very different from an ABC that was actually born here, so

Not quite sure that a lot of you guys out there aware of the differences here, I have a lot of friends that

Asian and they're born in Australia

and they're more bogan than I am they they eat meat pies and have barbecues and drink more than I do and they

They speak like this get a mate, but don't enter this debate without having knowledge of the different types of people in Australia

Also, it depends on what country they come from you can understand

This is a this is a large grey area with lots, and you once's there's no black and white here

And I just want to make that clear that

It's very new once in this area and you cannot paint everybody with the same brush one thing

I think that we need to be aware of is that we're not in America

but in Australia

I think we need to redefine what terrorism is and be very clear on what it is and have the

nuances to understand the ever-changing landscape within Australia

And we're not in America where it's very clear that Islam in America has this real big beef going on

But I think we need to redefine what terrorism is in Australia

Mylo gianopolous came here only last week and there was this big uproar against Islam

I'm not Islamic by the way. I'm not Muslim. I'm not religious in any way

I don't think that Islam is the biggest threat in Australia. I think we have far greater

Threats in Australia and Australians within Australia are in far more danger to our lives today

then a

North Korean living within North Korea because the North Korean living within North Korea isn't surrounded by

Americans who are immigrants with in North Korea yet Australia is surrounded by a lot of

possible terrorists within Australia from North Korea and

from what we have learnt today a

South Korean

defector could possibly turn on Australia at any

Moment without notice and we don't fully understand why?

I do now back to Chen Han Choi

who's the South Korean dude living in Australia naturalized Australian lived here for most of his life and

Eastwood now one thing I did notice when I looked at the map that if a nuclear bomb was to land on Sydney CBD

Eastwood just happens to be outside of the blast radius

But I have noticed when I look at the map of Sydney that there are other

Notable suburbs, which are Asian enclaves that are very similar to Eastwood that just happened to be outside

What would be a blast radius if a nuclear bomb was to hit?

Sydney CBD and here's a few suggestions

Now one of the big ones is Chatswood of course

Hurstville

Burwood

Strathfield

Some of these suburbs in my opinion if Eastwood was to be a breeding ground for terrorism

some of these other suburbs are very similar in demographic and possibly could be seen as

Breeding grounds for terrorism as well one thing. I've noticed from doing research at a lot of South Koreans and North Koreans

They would prefer to reunite Korea the Korean Peninsula the fact that I'd like to add to this is that there's a possibility that

Chan hand soy was able to identify with North Koreans

More than the Australians that he lives with in the country that he comes from purely on the basis of race

It's not that race is a big issue to but being online for three years and talking about race and having all of the data

to show for it

Race is a big issue to a lot of Asians now the back of my claims that race is such a big issue for

Asians even in Australia, but more specifically abroad

But if you have a lot of immigrants from overseas and they come here

And they bring this racism with them look at these four guys. It's like the Fung Bros or something

There's no diversity in any of the real estates around here

Could I call LJ cook cook a racist well? Yes, I could I don't see any buddy from the subcontinent

I don't see any black people. I don't see any white people. I just see

Asian guys and by the looks of their names they're all from China. There's not even

international diversity, it's just

it's just it just seems a bit racist out here to me and

Some of the looks that I've got just walking around and white because of the camera

But a lot of looks that I get from a lot of the guys well combined. They're like they look at you they like

And they give you this bad look it's like it's like I'm not even welcome in Eastwood

But keep in mind these are Asians which are fresh off the boat, and they're in their Asian Enclave

And they're free to be racist in

eastward

But I gotta say that a lot of the Asians that were actually born here. I feel safer around them

I actually don't really feel that safe around a lot of Asian immigrants, but I do feel very safe around

Asian

Australian born or been here such a long time that they haven't

Learned all these bad races bad habits from overseas if you liked this

Video give me this give me a thumbs up. I know I'm a little bit ahead of my time these days

Maybe fifteen years in advance you guys will look back and you'll be like oh this guy was right

but anyway click that subscribe button if you want to know what the future of Australia holds and

I'll see you guys very soon

#ConchitaLIVE - Circus Krone München - 02.10.2017 - Moderation 3: Waters Run Deep - Duration: 1:45.

I'm in a very exciting phase of my life - in many ways.

But I'm currently writing ... 'currently' is funny!

I write for about one and a half years on my second album.

And this album should already have been released very, very often.

But what can I say: I'm just not ready yet, and I'm working on it.

What makes it a little difficult sometimes, is that this time I decided to

to write it myself or rather co-write it, and I have ...

Wait with your applause!

I have gathered people around me who are much more talented than I am when it comes to

writing songs, and I am very grateful that they put up with me.

Nevertheless, I brought one here today .... well, I have

many talented people, but one of those songs I brought today!

And please: have mercy on me!

I have learned in these two years something insanely great about myself:

My songwriting is really bad!

Nevertheless, I sing to you now a song, that is about the fact that one

is much more than what you reveal of yourself, and one is much more than what we see or hear.

And this song is called 'Waters Run Deep'.

A Visit to the Museum of the Bible - Part 1 - Duration: 3:18.

[Darris McNeely] Recently, I paid a visit to a brand new museum that has opened up in

the downtown Washington DC, America's capital.

It is the Museum of the Bible.

A fantastic display of the history of translation and the preservation of the biblical text

has been opened in the nation's capital, and I found it to be a fascinating experience.

The mission of this particular museum is to invite all people to engage with the history,

narrative, and the impact of the Bible.

And I have to say that I was really pleased by a lot of the displays that I saw.

I think anyone going to the Museum of the Bible will come away with an appreciation

for the truth, for the historical story that is there, that the Bible is what is says to

be, a book of God, that you can rely on.

That comes through very clearly.

And I think you'll also find a great deal of information and knowledge about the Bible

that you did not know before.

So it's been a noble effort.

I was also amused by a lot of articles that I read, I had to write an article for Beyond

Today magazine about this, and many other articles that were attacking the museum and

its purpose, and seeking to undermine the integrity of the people who built the museum

and their goals.

One of the concerns that was put up was that the idea of church and state was being threatened

by having this Museum of the Bible right within view of the nation's capital there in Washington

DC.

I found that to be rather humorous.

I think a lot of the lawmakers of the United States could do with a perusal and a better

understanding of much of what the Bible does have to say about just basic conduct and ethics,

and even legislation.

But that's another story for another time.

The Museum of the Bible is very interesting, and the criticisms and the attacks that I've

seen in some of the press from the United States and other countries has been interesting.

We're going through cultural shifts in the United States and other parts of the world

in regard to morality, a bible-based morality, a biblical-based view of marriage and sex.

That has been completely overturned.

And so to see this particular museum come to fruition in the nation's capital is a very

interesting experience.

And I found my visit there to be well worth the time, something that I would recommend

to you and anyone else making that visit. 

However, you don't need to visit the Museum of the Bible to begin, right now, an examination

of the Bible to see what God says, what it says about God, and what that means for you.

One question that often comes up here on Beyond Today, we did a recent program on it, is,

"Which translation of the Bible is the best for me?"

I was able to view a few things at the Museum of the Bible that I think can help us come

to understand and answer to that question.

And I'll talk about that next time.

That's BT Daily.

Join us next time.

Crochet Gingerbread Man Tutorial - Duration: 26:20.

Hello everyone thank you for joining me, today I'll be showing you how to make

this gingerbread man. I'll show you how to do this dress in a separate video.

You'll need a tanny, gingery color for the gingerbread man. That's the closest I

could get, black for the eyes and the buttons and I'm using blue for the

bow tie. You'll also need scissors, a crochet hook,

I use thread for sewing it together and I'm using red cotton for the mouth. I use

a darning needle to weave in my ends and a sewing needle to sew it together. I'm

starting with the head. I start with a magic loop, and work three chain, and

fourteen double crochet into my circle.

I pull the circle tight and slip stitch into the third chain. For row 2 I

start with three chain and work a double crochet into the same place as the chain,

and then work two double crochet into each stitch around. So I'll work this row

and I'll be back. At the end of the row we join with a slip stitch in the third

chain and fasten off.

And that's the head done I'll just weave in my ends and then I'll be back and

we'll start on the arms. For the first arm we start with 8 chain

and now we join to the head, you can join anywhere, first you do a

double crochet into the next stitch you do a half double crochet and then one

single crochet into each of the next three stitches,

then a half double crochet, and a double crochet, and then for the second arm we

work ten chain.

For row 2 we miss the first 2 chain and work 2 half-double crochet into the next

stitch, next we work one half double crochet into each of the next 3 stitches,

two half double crochet into the next stitch, and then a half double crochet

into each of the remaining chain for the first arm, and then you flip it

round and then work a half double crochet across the bottom of the head,

one in each stitch,

and then one half double crochet into each of the next three chain,

2 half double crochet into the next chain,

and then one half double crochet into each of the chain until the last one.

We work 2 half-double crochet into our last chain.

For row 2 we start with 2 chain and work a joined half double crochet over the

first two stitches, and then work one half double crochet into each of the

next four stitches,

two half double crochet into the next stitch, and one half double crochet into

each of the next 13 stitches,

two half double crochet into the next stitch, and one half double crochet into

each stitch until the last two,

and then we work a joined half double crochet over the last two stitches, and

fasten off.

And that's the arms done. I'll just weave in my ends and I'll be back and we'll do

the body. Now for the body I find the center stitch and then join

four stitches back, so this stitch here. I

work 2 chain and then work one half double crochet into each of the next

eight stitches.

For row 2 I start with 2 chain and then work one half double crochet into each

of the eight stitches.

For rows three to six we start with two chain and we work one half double

crochet into each stitch and then we work a half double crochet into the top

of the two chain at the end of the row, so we'll increase one stitch over those

rows and we finish up with twelve stitches. Just in there in the top of the

chain and then two chain and turn and we work the same, one half double crochet in

each stitch and a half double crochet into the top of the chain.

It's just bending out a little bit on each side so two more rows the same.

Last row 2 chain and then one half double crochet over each stitch and one

half double crochet into the top of the the chain and we'll have 12 stitches, 12

half double crochet plus the two chain,

and there's the body. For the first leg we start with 2 chain and we work a

half double crochet into the next four stitches and then a joined half double

crochet over the next two, and that's the start of our leg.

For the next row we work 2 chain, a joined half double crochet over the first

two, and then a half double crochet into each stitch to the end, and a half double

crochet into the top of the chain.

For the following row we've got 2 chain, a

half double crochet into each stitch to the last two, and then a joined half

double crochet over those two stitches.

For the following row 2 chain, a joined half double crochet into the first two

stitches and then one half double crochet into each stitch and a joined

half double crochet over the first two chain. For the following row we work 2

chain and we work a half double crochet cluster over all our stitches,

and fasten off.

And that's our first leg done. I'll just weave in my end I just find it

gets in the way with my bad fingers and I'll be back. For the second leg we

join in the stitch after the first leg,

and work 2 chain and then work one half double crochet into each stitch and a

half double crochet in the top of the two chain.

For the next row we work 2 chain and turn and work one half double crochet

into each stitch until we get to the last two stitches and we work a joined

half double crochet over those two.

For the next row we start with 2 chain and turn and work a joined half double

crochet over the first two stitches, and then a half double crochet into each

stitch and also into the top of the 2 chain. For the following row we work 2

chain and turn and work a half double crochet into each stitch until the last

two, and work a joined half double crochet over those two.

For the next row we work 2 chain and then work a half double crochet cluster

over all the stitches.

And there's the gingerbread man. I'm now going to work a row of single crochet

right around to neaten the edges. So I start with one chain and then work a

single crochet into each stitch.

Just find a suitable place to put your hook in so it's not doesn't show up too

much.

And don't pull too tight so that it sits flat. I'll find a better place for that

one.

So I'll continue working my single crochet around and then I'll be back.

When we've worked our single crochet all the way around we slip stitch into the

first chain and fasten off and that's the gingerbread man. The eyes and the

buttons are worked the same. I'm using my black and I make a magic loop and work

one chain and four single crochet into my circle. I pull the circle tight and

slip stitch into the chain and fasten off. I'll need four of those. For the bow

tie I'm using blue today. I make a magic loop, and work three chain,

one double crochet, three chain, slip stitch into the circle, work another

three chain, a double crochet and three more chain and slip stitch into the

circle.

I pull the circle tight and I fasten off but I leave quite a long tail because

I'm going to sew around the bow tie just the middle with my thread.

So I'll weave in my endings and I'll make three more circles and I'll be back

and we'll put it together. Now here's all my pieces ready, the first thing I'll do

is stitch on a mouth. I'm going to use red cotton and I'll do that and I'll be

back and I'll stitch on the eyes. Now there's a mouth, now the eyes go

just above the mouth I've been putting them

about halfway through that circle part. Just stitching them on there. The bow tie

goes in the center about there and I stitch it on with my tail and I stitch

over quite a number of times over the center part just to hold it on and I

don't stitch around the edges. So I'll do that and I'll be back. The last thing

I'll do is attach the buttons evenly on the front, like that and I'll give it a

bit of an iron and I'll show you the finished Gingerbread man. There's the

gingerbread man finished. If you'd like to make a gingerbread lady the body and

head is done the same and I'll show you how to do the dress on a separate video.

Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter the details are in the description below.

Thank you for watching see you next time, bye.

Siblings Get Handcuffed For 24 Hours - Duration: 7:15.

- So, we're gonna be handcuffed together

for the next 24 hours.

- What the hell is this?

(upbeat music)

So, a little backstory a lot of people don't know

is we didn't grow up in the same household,

so for us to have only really spent

as much as a summer or a Christmas together,

we kind of keep in touch pretty well,

considering that gap in our lives.

But we come together,

and now we're handcuffed together for an entire day.

I had just set up everything I was gonna do for work

and you go, "We're out."

The gate clicker's in my car.

- Which means we have to get out of this car?

- That means we have to get back out.

- And then back in?

- And then back in, yeah.

- So, I'm hungry.

- [Michael] Is it--

- Let's go get some food.

All right.

After that, we went to Chipotle.

(Michael laughs)

And then we get to Chipotle and we're in line,

and this lady was like, "Oof, rough day?"

- It was only 45 minutes in. - It's that bad.

- She could already see it all over our faces.

- She could see what was happening!

- She completely,

I mean, but when you walk into a food establishment

with handcuffs on-- - True.

- Something is off.

You can tell everybody

about the years of torment that I put you through.

- So, we are actually half-siblings,

but I never got to see you very often,

and so I would always be this close to you. (laughs)

- And when we got together,

because of that-- - I really,

I remember one time, you tried to push me down the stairs.

- I won't deny that.

I also won't agree that that's true.

- But we went from Chipotle, and then we went to Sephora.

Michael's girlfriend, Chhavi, was with us,

and she really wanted to go to buy Sephora,

and I was like, "Hell yeah, I'm down for it."

Mike is not feelin' this.

It'll be okay.

- But see, it's a lot-- - My place is there.

Outside the door, where it's comfortable and there's air.

- I tapped out.

Chhavi wins, Chhavi definitely wins.

It's only been two hours

and this has been the longest two hours of my life.

- Feels like it's been 20.

- When we were leaving Sephora, Mike decided,

out of the blue, he needed to take a leak.

- I have to go to the bathroom.

I have to go now, and it's right there.

I'm not gonna lie to you, it was kind of a spike pee.

At that point, we were already in Sephora,

(laughs) and I was just like, - What?

- "I'm lettin' it rip."

- [Destinee] I'm talkin' bout,

I walked in there with like head down,

I was like, "Okay, I'm just gonna look at my feet."

- And this one guy was like starin' at you the whole time.

Like it kinda creeped me out.

He saw you walk in as he was about to walk out,

and he was like, "No, I'm here for this."

- (laughs) And we went to the nail salon

and they were very accommodating.

- [Michael] They were.

- [Destinee] They gave us a pillow,

they gave him a stool to sit next to me.

- [Michael] They were very nice.

- They also said, "What the hell are you doing?"

(both laugh)

- Yeah.

- Sorry.

- And we were kinda,

we were kinda good about going back and forth.

- It'll be fine! (laughs)

Come on, let's go! (laughs)

Michael, come on, I'm serious!

(laughing) Mike, Mike, Mike!

Okay, okay, you win, you win, you win, you win!

(Michael laughs)

- But then my blood sugar started getting low.

I got real hungry.

- That was by the time we got to the grocery store.

By the time we got to the grocery store,

he was just like, "I'm ready to go, I'm hungry."

- And then we had to shop for the food we were gonna eat.

- Yeah, and you should never

grocery shop on a hungry stomach.

- No, you shouldn't, but you know,

you have to do what you have to do

when you're handcuffed to your sister.

- This is what Mama made, are you,

do I need to call up our mother and be like,

"Ragu isn't good enough for Michael?"

- [Michael] Is that what she uses?

- Yes!

- [Michael] For everything?

- For spaghetti!

- You asked me what I wanted to eat.

I said turkey meatballs, you said okay.

- No, you said meatballs,

and I was like, "Ooh, spaghetti and meatballs, perfect."

Spaghetti and turkey gravy meatballs does not sound good.

- First of all, the recipe came recommended

from my friend who is a chef.

- But was it served with spaghetti?

- It's a meatball.

It's a meatball! - No!

- First of all, I'm handcuffed to you for 24 hours

and you can't give me two tablespoons of turkey gravy

on my recipe?

- I asked what you wanted to eat when we went to Chipotle.

- We cooked. - We cooked.

Key and Ryann came over from Real Housewives.

- [Michael] They did.

- [Destinee] And we were tryin'

to cook your meatballs and spaghettis.

At first, it was nonsense and chaotic.

(Michael laughs)

But then, we figured like,

"You work that half of the kitchen,

"I work this half of the kitchen."

- [Michael] Yeah.

- [Destinee] And we kind of got it down.

Food!

- Hey!

- Wine, housewives.

(woman laughs) (Destinee laughs)

So, we're done hosting for the night

and we have all of these dishes.

I say we just put 'em in the dishwasher.

- Great idea. (both laugh)

I was so physically drained.

And I ate a lot.

So when I finally laid down, it was over.

I was done.

So the snap that you got was like this

because that's how I sleep.

- Dude, I, did we snore?

(both laugh)

- My biggest thing going into this,

I was like, "Michael is always late doing something."

- Hey, first of all--

- It's always something.

- I wouldn't say always.

- We were late coming here!

- We were handcuffed together!

You can't plan to start your day

like you normally start it,

except now you're handcuffed to a person

and have the same-- - You plan accordingly.

- The same amount of, exactly. - You plan,

okay, we're not going back down this road.

- We're not doing that again.

- We're not going back down this road.

- Don't bring that up, stop being petty.

- [Destinee] You still had to come to my job

and I went to your job.

- [Michael] Yes.

- [Destinee] So I had meetings

that you had to be sitting in.

- [Michael] That's pretty cool.

- [Destinee] Yeah?

- [Michael] It was.

It was cool sitting in

and kind of seeing how it looks in here,

and there's all kinds of stuff going on, and--

- All right, so at the end of the--

- So (laughs) don't try to snap while I'm snappin'.

- (laughing) I'm trying to,

I'm trying to do this for my job.

- Okay, it's all right, I'll let you go.

- [Destinee] Sorry, excuse me. (laughs)

- So we're roaming the BuzzFeed hallway

and I'm just gonna interrupt the video that she's doing--

- Yes.

- With my Snap Story.

- I hope this is worth it for you.

- This is worth it for me.

- [Destinee] I hope this is worth it.

- I been handcuffed to you for the entire day

and this is my will, okay?

(Destinee laughs)

You see this?

I can't believe we're really doing this.

- [Destinee] I felt the same way going to your job.

Like it was really cool getting to see what you do

and your side of things.

But the whole us being fluid thing didn't work

when you were trying to deejay.

- No, it doesn't, because you don't know those movements

and you don't know how that whole situation works.

I move a lot, I move quickly.

- I definitely think this experience

has made me appreciate you more.

- Aw, that's sweet.

- Before, I was just like, "Oh yeah, this is my brother."

I see that you have like these different nuances

and mannerisms that make you you

that I didn't know were there before.

- And vice versa, you know.

You see that I get aggressive when I'm hungry.

(Michael laughs)

But I also have a different appreciation for you as well,

and I kind of also get to see, you know,

like what kind of woman you're becoming

as you're getting older

and starting your life and starting your career.

- [Destinee] Aw!

- [Michael] So that's, it's cool

to see where you're at right now,

you know, where you're working.

- He does love me!

(Michael laughs)

Wouldn't do this again, though.

- No, never again.

- Wouldn't do this again.

- You can call that a dub.

- Are we done, 24 hours?

- [Man] Yes.

- All right, yes, absolutely.

- Let's do this.

- Absolutely, sis, I'm wonderful.

Thank you, I'm good, bye.

- Oh, yes!

Here you go.

- [Destinee] Free at last, free at last!

The Poster for Deadpool 2 May Reveal the Movie's Plot - Duration: 1:33.

What's up guys, Frazier here for Complex News.

At press time, we STILL don't have a trailer or even a pity teaser FOR the trailer for

Deadpool 2.

We know the time traveling mutant Cable will factor in a huge way, played by Josh Brolin.

Zazie Beetz from Atlanta also joins the cast as Domino.

And that's about all we have for now.

Therefor, all we can do, is speculate.

Right now our biggest conspiracy theory lead comes courtesy of Mr. pool himself, Ryan Reynolds.

Last week double R tweeted an image of Deadpool and Cable, that hilariously mimics Michelangelo's

The Creation of Adam.

But what seems like a typical Deadpool-esque joke might actually be an Easter Egg, thanks

to detective work from eagle-eye comic book fans.

Reynolds' image features text that says The Second Coming.

A lot of people smarter than me think that's a hint to the movie's storyline and a reference

to X-Men: Second Coming, a massive event in X comics history.

One of the principle characters in that story?

Cable.

To make a very long arc short, Second Coming involves Cable saving the first mutant child

born in a long time, aptly named Hope, and taking her to the future to keep her safe,

raising her like his own daughter.

Now, the image not only shows Cable emerging from a time portal, but he also has a teddy

bear clipped to his belt, making this the second time promo images from the film have

shown him sporting a kids toy.

Going this route could also help the movie sync up with Logan, which also saw a mutant

birth shortage.

We shall see.

The movie's due in June so hopefully our trailer drought ends in the next few weeks.

That's the news for now but for the latest on Deadpool, subscribe to Complex on YT today.

For Complex, I'm Frazier.

Is Justin Timberlake Getting Ready to Drop His New Album - Duration: 1:31.

What's up guys, Frazier here for Complex News and it appears we're on the eve of

Timberlake Season.

Justin Timberlake has been lightly teasing new music for the better part of a year now,

primarily in Instagram sightings with his two go-to collaborators, Timbaland and Pharrell.

But once his appointment as Super Bowl 52's halftime show was confirmed, that all but

guaranteed not only the impending release of new music, but when as well.

Now with the big show looming, we're starting to get some movement on things.

TMZ is reporting that JT filed trademarks for two phrases: "Man of the Woods" and

"Fresh leaves."

Maybe I'm reaching here but that sounds like album title and single, doesn't it?

"Man of the Woods" is set to be used for CDs, DVDs, downloadable music, clothes, concert

posters, and live performances and tours.

Meanwhile Fresh Leaves trademark documents indicate it's for merch purposes, for everything

from hats and jerseys to robes.

Thematically speaking, Man of the Woods could see JT going all in on his Tennessee roots.

It's hard to predict where he's going to go sonically.

20/20 was full of very long songs that purposely didn't try to conform to radio, which turned

some off.

But in my opinion Part 1 of that album is a new classic.

JT and Timberland actually did a collab with Juicy J called "The Woods," here's hoping

a Tennessee homaged album at least sees a Three 6 Mafia feature.

One thing's for sure though.

Expect a new Justin Timberlake album VERY SOON.

I for one, can't wait.

That's the news for now but when JT confirms new music you're gonna want to be subscribed

to Complex on YT.

For Complex, I'm Frazier.

Stages of Family Life: Crash Course Sociology #38 - Duration: 10:53.

How does a family become a family?

Well, when two people love each other very much…

I'm joking, I'm joking – kind of.

As we discussed last week, American families often form around marriages.

So, romantic relationships can be a first step in the stages of family life.

It might seem strange to think of dating as a part of family formation.

After all, when you're swiping right on Tinder you're probably not thinking about adding that person to your family.

But families are a dynamic social institution, changing over the course of your life.

What the word "family" conjures in your mind is going to be very different when you're 16 versus when you're 60.

Sociologists say that every family has a life cycle.

They form, they change, and they sometimes break apart.

[Theme Music]

When we talk about the stages of life, we're usually talking about organisms – the life cycle of a mayfly, or something like that.

But just as you pass through developmental stages from childhood to adulthood to old age, a family evolves as well.

Sociologists describe this process as the family life cycle – the developmental stages that a family passes through over time.

Of course, individual families are different.

Some people might move through the stages of family in a different order, or skip some stages all together.

But these stages are meant to describe the typical life cycle of a modern American family.

The first stage of family life is very cute. It's courtship!

I'm sure you know what courtship means, but in case it's on your final:

It's the period of developing a relationship with an eye toward marriage or long term partnership.

So, how do people pair off in different societies?

Well, some cultures – including the US – put a heavy emphasis on romantic love as the foundation of a partnership.

Finding the "one" is wrapped up in an idea that a relationship should be based on affection, attraction, and passion for your partner.

Other cultures practice arranged marriage, in which a marriage is negotiated between two families in order to create stronger bonds between them.

Love isn't considered a prerequisite for marriage – though parents may consult the children's feelings when picking a spouse.

If the married couple's shared life eventually creates bonds of affection, that's a bonus!

For those in cultures that celebrate romantic love, the idea of an arranged marriage often seems completely unthinkable.

It's important to recognize, though, that even in the US, sex and romance typically aren't the only foundation of a long-lasting relationship.

Passion is often a less stable basis for a relationship than marital arrangements based on social and cultural compatibility.

When the passion fades, if there aren't other foundations for the relationship, it may fall apart.

And in fact, even in countries that emphasize romantic love, societal forces often "arrange" marriages based on who is socially, economically, and morally compatible.

Societies often encourage homogamy, or marriage between people with similar social backgrounds, like educational achievement or class standing.

Another common factor in romantic love is propinquity, or a physical proximity to another person.

Doesn't sound very romantic, but we tend up with people who are just...around, because we often live near people like ourselves.

Now, of course, courtship doesn't always lead to marriage.

In fact, in recent years, marriage rates have been declining in many high income countries,

partially due to people waiting longer to marry and partially due to people forgoing marriage altogether.

Among women who between 35 and 44 in 2010, around 20% had never been married.

In comparison, for the previous generation at that age, only 10% of women had never been married.

Even with declining marriage rates, most Americans will marry at least once.

Marriage – and particularly weddings – are often seen as a life goal, something to aspire to.

Weddings are not marriages, of course, and for many this stage of settling into a new family comes with changes in expectations of what married life will look like.

How a couple handles the transition from courtship into marriage is an important predictor of family stability.

Some find that once the honeymoon phase ends –

that is, the first couple years of marriage when everything is new and exciting – they are no longer satisfied in their marriage.

To find passion, some turn to infidelity, which occurs more often than you might think.

In an anonymous survey of approximately 900 Americans, researchers from the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction at Indiana University

found that 19% of women and 23% of men report cheating on their partners at least once.

One outcome of infidelity that may NOT surprise you is divorce.

You might have heard that half of all marriages end in divorce.

But that's not quite accurate.

For one thing, it's not that every couple has a 50/50 chance of divorce.

The 50% stat comes from looking at the likelihood that marriages reach a certain anniversary.

How likely are you to still be together 5 years after marriage?

What about 20 years?

For couples who married 40 years ago, we know what percent of those marriages have ended in divorce –

and that's a decent proxy for how many will ever end in divorce.

For Americans who married in the 1970s and 1980s, about 40 to 45 percent of those marriages have ended in divorce.

There was a huge surge of divorce in the 1970s,

in part due to many states loosening their restrictions on who can divorce through No Fault divorce laws, which allow couples to divorce for any reason.

Prior to No Fault laws, divorce was only allowed if one spouse could prove abuse, abandonment, or adultery.

Along with the removal of legal barriers, social norms also changed, with divorce becoming more socially acceptable.

Plus, increased opportunities for women in the workforce made it more feasible for women to leave bad marriages,

because they were better able to support themselves and their children without a husband.

But the divorce rate in the US has been on the decline since the 1990s.

Some estimates suggest that the percent of marriages ending in divorce for more recent generations will be closer to 1/3 than 1/2

Why has it declined?

Well, for one thing, fewer people are marrying, and fewer people are marrying young.

With more people waiting to find a partner until they're more settled, marriages have become much more stable than they were in previous decades.

Plus, the type of people who get married – and their likelihood of divorce – has changed, too.

Divorce rates are higher for low income and less educated Americans –

who are also the socioeconomic group with the greatest declines in marriage rates in the last 40 years.

So the fewer who get married, the fewer who get divorced.

Changing marriage patterns has also meant changing patterns in the family lifecycle...like when people have kids.

While childbearing is typically thought of as the stage of the family life cycle that follows marriage,

the percent of children born outside of marriage has been increasing, with about 40% of all births to unmarried mothers.

There are also increasing social class divides in who has kids before or after marriage:

While only 9% of births to college educated moms take place outside marriage, 58% of births outside marriage are to women with only a high school diploma.

But regardless of whether having kids comes before or after marriage, this stage in the family life cycle is an important one.

Let's go to the Thought Bubble to talk about our next family life stage: childrearing.

What a family looks like has changed a lot in the last couple centuries.

In pre-industrial America, large families were much more common –

partially because of a lack of effective birth control, partially because having more children meant more hands to help with the work on a farm,

and partially because high rates of child mortality meant that many kids didn't live to adulthood.

But as child mortality rates declined, and the US industrialized, the average family size declined from 7 children in 1800 to 3.5 children by 1900.

Nowadays, birth rates are even lower.

The old adage about the American dream being a house with picket fence, a dog, and 2.5 children isn't too far off –

the average American mom has 2.4 children and this rate has been pretty stable for the last 30 years.

But when women have children has been changing.

In addition to delaying marriage, women are also postponing having kids.

The average age at first birth is 26, up from 21 in 1970.

Some of this is due to increased access to birth control, which allows people to better control the timing of when they have a child.

And some of it is because raising a kid is expensive!

Many people want to wait until they're older and in a more financially secure position before they add a third mouth to feed.

The US Department of Agriculture estimates that for kids born in 2015, the typical middle class family will spend $233,000 dollars on that kid over the course of their childhood.

Clothes, food, toys, transportation, basic education, medical care – it all adds up pretty fast.

And that figure isn't even accounting for the cost of college!

But even if the cost is high, being a parent is highly valued in American society.

A 2010 survey found that the majority of Millenials say that being a good parent is "one of the most important things" in life –

ranking it higher than having a successful marriage.

Thanks Thought Bubble!

The next stage of family life is the launch stage in which kids grow up and leave their parents' house, usually in their early twenties.

Though Mom and Dad might suffer from some empty nest syndrome when kids first leave,

many remain involved in their kids' lives, often providing childcare for their grandchildren once their kids start families of their own.

This post-children stage of family life is the final part of the family life cycle.

Additionally, as life spans increase, many adult children find themselves in caregiver roles for their aging parents.

The sandwich generation refers to people who care for their aging parents at the same time that they provide care for children living in their household.

This is particularly common for women, who are more likely to take on caregiving roles in a family.

As I said at the beginning, these stages of the family life cycle are just one path that a family can follow.

There are all types of families and not all of them will be nuclear families with a mom, a dad, and a bunch biological offspring.

For one thing, a married couple doesn't need to be a man and a woman.

In 2015, the US Supreme Court made marriage equality the law of the land and ruled that all states must recognize marriages between same-sex couples.

For another, not all married couples have, or want, children.

Plus, not all families with kids have two parents.

Single parent families make up about one-third of all families with children.

Single parent families are most often headed by a single mother, rather than a single father.

There are also large racial differences in family structure,

with 66% of Black children being raised in a single parent home compared to only 25% of non-Hispanic white children.

Some of these kids are still growing up in households with two parents, though –

58% of unmarried births were to cohabiting couples, or couples who live together without being married.

Unmarried or divorced parents may also marry someone new,

creating a blended family with one parent in a household who is unrelated to some or all of the children.

So there's a lot of diversity in what a family can look like.

But they often tend to follow similar paths.

But no matter what a family looks like, the family life cycle helps us understand how families evolve over time.

Today, we looked at one way of thinking about the different stages of family life: courtship, marriage, child-rearing, and family life in your later years.

We also discussed changing patterns of marriage and childbearing in the US, highlighting some of the varied family types that exist.

Premises Liability | Morris Bart, LLC - Duration: 1:11.

Hi, I'm Matthew Hemmer and I'm an attorney at Morris Bart.

I handle premises liability cases involving serious injuries.

You may be wondering, what is premises liability?

Well, it covers all kinds of situations that generally fall under three categories.

First: dangerous places, like rotten balconies or rickety staircases.

Number two: dangerous things, like a leaky AC unit or a broken shelf.

Last: dangerous employees that might do something careless to cause you to get hurt.

Now, if one of these things happens to you and you suffer an injury, I want you to remember

to do three things.

First, take a look around you and see who's there.

Ask them if they saw anything and take down their name.

Second, get your cell phone out and take a picture of the dangerous thing that hurt you.

Last, call me.

Every single day, I fight hard to get my clients the most possible amount of money for their

injuries when they're hurt from situations like this.

I look forward to helping you if you need me - thank you very much!
