The median annual cost of care in an assisted living facility is $41,400, up nearly 5% from last year and 23% higher than five years ago, Genworth found. The cost of at-home care, such as home health aides or homemakers, is rising at a much slower pace.he median annual cost of care in an assisted living facility is $41,400, up nearly 5% from last year and 23% higher than five years ago, Genworth found.

Paleolithic (c 2,000,000 â c 10,000 B.C.) (Old Stone Age) The Paleolithic time period is by far the longest, beginning some (circa) two million years ago to coincide with the first evidence of toolmaking and ending around 10,000 B.C. to coincide with the end of the last ice age (Pleistocene epoch).
Ice Ages. Our current climate regime -â a regime weâve had for the past ~2 million years â- is characterized by long periods of ice ages and shorter warm periods. The last ice age ended about 12,000 years ago, and since then weâve been in a warm period. Some argue that global warming is no concern, since the Earth will naturally switch back to an ice age. This is very likely to be true: an ice age is almost certainly in our planetâs future. But itâs a question of when. Our current concerns about climate change focus on the coming decades to the next century â- the time period relevant to our childrenâs and grandchildrenâs experience.
