The mysterious history of medieval magic, wizards, and sorcerers

We've all heard countless stories of wizards (who were born as mere mortals but learned magic) and sorcerers (who were born with magic but had to learn to master it). Both were figures shut away in dark towers conducting arcane experiments, bringing objects to life and hexing their enemies. Pointy hats, magical staffs, enchantment scrolls—all these things are hearty food for the imagination, and most believe it ends there. But were there really magical practitioners during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance? Did people truly believe in magic? The answers might surprise you. Read on to find out the truth about medieval magic.

Parenting styles and how they affect children

How a child is treated has enormous effects on their well-being when they grow up.

These styles are authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved. Each parenting style takes a different approach to raising children and can be identified by specific characteristics.

Foods that shouldn’t be kept for too long in your pantry

The longest words in the world, and what they mean

If you think about it, words are perhaps the single greatest invention of mankind. Language has separated us from most other animals, and has allowed us to not only transmit information in an efficient way, but has also opened up an infinitely vast world of creative expression. We can all agree, however, that language isn't always a walk in the park. Sometimes we can't find the right words for what we want to say, and other times the words available to us are impossibly long and complex. We've all heard "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," and we all know it's not exactly a 'real' word. So what are they longest words in the world, and how could we ever possibly use them? Read on to find out.

How to nurture your child’s creativity

We tend to assign creativity to certain people and not to others, as if it's something you're born with and can't be taught. The reality is, however, that we are all capable of fostering creativity in ourselves and others, particularly children. Kids can exercise their creativity and imagination in countless ways, from art to music and play. It helps them to develop socially, emotionally, and academically, so it's just as important to encourage them to play and create as it is to make sure they're doing their homework and finishing their chores. Click through the following gallery to learn more about the role creativity plays in your child's development and how you can nurture this aspect of them.

The greatest crooners of all time

We'll always have a place in our hearts for smooth-singing crooners. Decades ago, a number of charming men captivated audiences with their jazz-infused heartfelt singing. Crooning's popularity rose in the 1920s, when singers started to make the most of the new, dynamic range covered by microphones. Voices could be heard differently, and finer details picked up on. It's as if these singers were whispering sweet nothings in our ears. The style evolved over the years to incorporate more pop elements, as well as other music genres. And while many of the great ones are no longer among us, some contemporary singers are still carrying the flag for crooners. In this gallery, we travel to the bygone golden era when crooners dominated the charts and remember some of the greatest of all time.

The obsession with single shaming

For centuries, society has taught us that being married is a life imperative. Historically, it was unthinkable that a person should achieve happiness without being in a committed, long-term relationship. This way of thinking is, of course, completely outdated, but it still runs deep in society and drives behavior today. As a result, many people who are not in a relationship find themselves pitied, or even mocked, for being single. This behavior is known as "single shaming." At the very best it's super annoying, while at the very worst it's damaging to a person's mental health. In this gallery, learn all about single shaming and some tips for how we can stop it.
