In the United Kingdom, one out of every 4 women aged 16–49 were using the Pill as at 2006 (either the combined pill or progestogen only pill ("minipill")).
compared to only 1% of women in Japan.
In some countries, women do not really have a choice because only one kind of contraception is available.
In some countries (like Algeria, Morocco, and Zimbabwe), the Pill is the most common method offered by national family planning programs.
In other countries, like India, national family planning programs only offer female sterilization (a surgery which makes a woman unable to ever have children again).
Other countries, like Egypt and Vietnam, only offer the IUD, intrauterine device.
Different kinds of pills
There are two major kinds of oral contraceptive pills.
The first kind has both estrogen and progesterone in it.
The other only has progesterone (these are called progesterone-only pills, or POPs).
The pills do not actually have natural hormones in them.
Instead, they have other chemical substances that are mostly the same as the hormones, but have been made in a laboratory.
Some women can only take one kind of COCP.
For example, estrogen stops the breast from producing milk.
Because of this, women who are breastfeeding should not take pills that have estrogen in them.
There are also some other types of women who should not be given estrogen.
These women should only use progesterone-only pills.
While there are just two major kinds of birth control pills (COCPs and POPs), there are many different brands or versions of each kind of pill.
Every brand of COCP will have the same hormones (estrogen and progesterone) in it.
However, each brand has a different amount of hormones in it.
Also, some brands change the amount of hormones given from week to week.
There are two ways to measure how well COCPs work. (
Most forms of birth control are also measured in these two ways.):
We can look at how well the Pill works in cases of perfect use.
This means that the Pill has been used exactly how it is supposed to be used.
The women using the Pill are assumed to have made no mistakes in how they used it. (
For example, they have taken every dose on time, without missing any doses.)
We can look at how well the Pill works in cases of actual use or typical use.
Usually, it is not realistic to think that every women uses the Pill perfectly.
Some women use the pill the wrong way, miss doses, or stop taking the pill.
This makes the Pill's effectiveness (how often it prevents pregnancy) lower.
To show how well the Pill works, scientists figure out rates of effectiveness (for perfect use and for actual/typical use).
These rates show how many women are kept from getting pregnant by the Pill.
Rates of effectiveness usually look at how well the Pill works during the first year that women are using the Pill.
Most often, the Pearl Index is used to calculate effectiveness rates.
However, some studies use decrement tables.
The typical use pregnancy rate for women taking COCPs measures how many women get pregnant while taking COCPs.
All women are not equally likely to get pregnant while taking COCPs.
Different groups of women have different typical use pregnancy rates.
Overall, between 2% and 8% of women taking COCPs get pregnant every year.
If COCPs are used perfectly, only 0.3% become pregnant each year.
There are a few reasons why women do not use the Pill perfectly.
Because of these things, typical use effectiveness is lower than perfect use effectiveness.
People are not always told how to use the Pill correctly. (
For example, they are not given the right information about how often the Pill should be taken.)
People sometimes make mistakes when they try to use the Pill, without knowing what they have done wrong. (
For example, a woman might forget to take the Pill.)
People sometimes make mistakes on purpose. (
For example, a woman might not get new pills from the pharmacy.
She might also decide to stop taking the Pill, or skip doses, if she decides she wants to get pregnant.)
COCPs can prevent pregnancy if the first pill is taken no later than 5 days after a woman starts menstruating.
If the treatment is started at any other time in the menstrual cycle, COCPs cannot safely prevent pregnancy for the first 7 days of use.
During this time, a woman needs to use other types of contraception in order to prevent pregnancy.
When active pills have been taken for 7 days, COCPs can work well to prevent pregnancy.
COCPs should be taken at about the same time every day.
If a woman misses more than one active pill in a packet. (
Certain packets also contain "placebo pills", which do not have any hormones in them.
COCPs are usually used for three weeks out of the month.
The woman then takes a break from the pills for a week.
Some packets have placebo pills for women to take during this week, so that the woman does not get out of the habit of taking a pill evey day.
If a woman does not take placebo pills during this week, it does not make her more likely to get pregnant.)
If a woman waits more than a week to start taking COCPs (active pills) again, after her week-long break.
If a woman's body has problems with absorbing active pills (for example, if the woman has diarrhea or vomiting).
If a woman is taking other medicines which interact with her COCPs to make them not work as well (for example, medicines which lower her estrogen or progestogen levels).
Problems with other drugs
Some other medicines can interact with COCPs and make them not work as well.
These medicines can also cause breakthrough bleeding (where a woman bleeds between her periods).
Some of these medicines are:
Some antibiotics which are used to treat tuberculosis and meningitis (like rifampicin)
Some sedatives (especially barbiturates)
Some drugs to treat epilepsy (like phenytoin and carbamazepine)
Broad-spectrum antibiotics, like ampicillin and doxycycline.
These medicines may cause problems "by impairing the bacterial flora responsible for recycling ethinylestradiol from the large bowel" (BNF 2003).
This means that a person's large intestine does not take up estradiol the way it should.
The traditional medicinal herb St. John's Wort also seems to make COCPs not work as well.
This is because of the way St. John's Wort affects the liver.
Non-contraceptive uses
The Pill can be used for other things besides contraception.
There are many medical conditions that are caused by problems with hormone levels.
Because the Pill has hormones in it, it can treat these conditions.
Some of these conditions are:
Anemia caused by menstruation
Painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea)
Mild or moderate acne.
If a woman's menstrual cycle is not regular, the Pill can make the woman menstruate on a regular schedule.
The Pill can also be used to treat certain problems that cause bleeding from the uterus.
Women who use combined oral contraceptives are less likely to get cancer of the ovaries.
If a woman takes Pill for five years, her risk for getting ovarian cancer is cut in half.
Women taking the Pill are also only half as likely to get endometrial cancer than women who have never taken the Pill.
The longer a woman uses the Pill, the more her risk of getting endometrial cancer drops.
However, women who take the Pill have a higher risk of getting breast cancer and cervical cancer.
Process synchronization refers to the idea that multiple processes are to link or handshake at a certain point, so as to reach an agreement or commit to a certain sequence of action.
Data synchronization refers to the idea of keeping multiple copies of a dataset in coherence (in-constancy) with one another, or to maintain data integrity.

In Computer science, client-server is a software architecture model consisting of two parts, client systems and server systems, both communicating over a computer network or on the same computer.
A client-server application is a distributed system made up of both client and server software.
Client server application provide a better way to share the workload.
The client process always initiates a connection to the server, while the server process always waits for requests from any client.
Another type of related software architecture is known as peer-to-peer, because each host or application instance can simultaneously act as both a client and a server (unlike centralized servers of the client-server model) and because each has equivalent responsibilities and status.
Peer-to-peer architectures are often abbreviated using the acronym P2P.
Client-server relationship
The client-server relationship describes the relation between the client and how it makes a service request to the server, and how the server can accept these requests, process them, and return the requested information to the client.
The interaction between client and server is often described using sequence diagrams.
Sequence diagrams are standardized in the Unified Modeling Language.
Two-tier
The basic type of client-server software architecture employs only two types of hosts: clients and servers.
This type of architecture is sometimes referred to as two-tier.
The two-tier architecture means that the client acts as one tier and server process acts as the other tier.
The client-server software architecture has become one of the basic models of network computing.
Many types of applications have been written using the client-server model.
Standard networked functions such as E-mail exchange, web access and database access, are based on the client-server model.
For example, a web browser is a client program at the user computer that may access information at any web server in the world.
Clients characteristics
Always initiates requests to servers.
Waits for replies.
Receives replies.
Usually connects to a small number of servers at one time.
Usually interacts directly with end-users using any user interface such as graphical user interface.
Server characteristics
Always wait for a request from one of the clients.
Serves clients' requests then replies to the clients with the requested data.
A server may communicate with other servers in order to serve a client request.
If additional information is required to process a request (or security is implemented), a server may request additional data (passwords) from a client before processing a request.
End users typically do not interact directly with a server, but use a client.
In most cases, a client-server architecture enables the worsening of roles and responsibilities of a computing system to be distributed among several independent computers that are known to each other only through a network, so one of advantages of this model is greater ease of maintenance.
For example, it is possible to replace, repair, upgrade, or even relocate a server while its clients remain both unaware and unaffected by that change.
This independence from change is also referred to as encapsulation.
All the data is stored on the servers, which generally have better security controls than most clients.
Servers can better control access and resources, to guarantee that only those clients with the appropriate permissions may access and change data.
Since data storage is centralized, updates to that data are much easier to administrators than what would be possible under a P2P architecture.
Under a P2P architecture, data updates may need to be distributed and applied to each "peer" in the network, which is both time-consuming and error-prone, as there can be thousands or even millions of peers.
Many advanced client-server technologies are already available which were designed to ensure security, user friendly interfaces, and ease of use.
It works with multiple different clients of different specifications.
Networks traffic blocking is one of the problems related to the client-server model.
As the number of simultaneous client requests to a given server increases, the server can become overloaded.
Contrast that to a P2P network, where its bandwidth actually increases as more nodes are added, since the P2P network's overall bandwidth can be roughly computed as the sum of the bandwidths of every node in that network.
Comparing client-server model to the Peer to Peer model, if one server fail, clients’ requests cannot be served but in case of P2P networks, servers are usually distributed among many nodes.
Even if one or more nodes fail, for example if a node failed to download a file the remaining nodes should still have the data needed to complete the download.
Specific types of servers include: web servers, FTP servers, database servers, E-mail servers, file servers, print servers.
Most web services are also types of servers.
Mainstream is a term that usually refers to the common current of thought held by the majority, meaning that "mainstream" things are those that are currently popular with most people.
It is most often applied in the arts (i.e., music, literature, and performance).
something that is ordinary or usual;
something that is familiar to most people;
something that is available to the general public;
something that has ties to corporate or commercial entities.
The mainstream includes all popular culture, usually  by mass media.
An example of the opposite of the mainstream is counterculture.
The term is sometimes used as a negative term.
In the United States, Protestant  with a mix of conservative, moderate, and liberal theologies are sometimes referred to as "mainstream."
Mainstream movies can be defined as movies that cost much to make and are created for profit.
To pay the cost and make the profit they are made so very many people will want to pay to see them.
They have a wide release to first run theaters.
Those are movie theaters that run mostly new mainstream movies from the major movie companies.
After their time in first-run theaters, mainstream movies are sold at popular stores.
Hollywood and Bollywood movies are usually considered mainstream, and may also be blockbusters.
The boundary is vague.
An example of the opposite of mainstream movie is art films.
Mainstream music refers to music that is familiar to and popular with the majority of people in their culture.
For example, popular music or pop music.
However, older generations often dislike the mainstream taste of the youth, and may not agree as to what is or is not mainstream.
Opposing mainstream music is the music of subcultures.
These opposing subcultures exist in most genres of music and is commonly found in punk rock, indie rock, and extreme metal, among others.
In the 1960s, the music of the hippie counterculture exemplified this music.
In more recent years, alternative rock, such as the music of Nirvana, has managed to maintain popularity in the mainstream music market even though their music did not conform to mainstream standards.
Punk rock has set itself apart from other non-mainstream genres by self-asserting an active anti-mainstream social movement that resists commercialism and corporate control.
The punk subculture usually does not appreciate major label bands that play punk music that denies the do it yourself (DIY) punk ethic, and thinks they are the same as mainstream music.
Indie rock that surfaced in the early 1990s underground took this same DIY ethic.
Many anti-corporate and not-for-profit forms of alternative protest have surfaced in the punk underground, for example, self-made publications known as "zines", where there is greater freedom to discuss controversial (usually far left) political issues such as bigotry, LGBT community issues, feminism, militant atheism, and veganism.
Although the mainstream media often views this behavior as a youthful expression of rebellion, modern punk embodies a range of age groups who generally disagree with the perceived shared countercultural principals.
It is not uncommon for middle-aged people to form punk houses (houses where people of the punk subculture live and open to others to stay, including touring bands) and resistance movements against what they see as the widespread, unfair use of human and animal rights for profit.
This modern group is effectively voiced through the anarcho-punk and crust punk subcultures, in attempt to fight what is seen by those groups as a general  of, and way to profit from, life.
Mainstreaming refers to a type of education where children with a learning disability are mixed into classes with children without learning disabilities to help them learn better and to become comfortable with the "mainstream" of student life and life in their community.
This is normally called "integration".
When their needs cannot be met, they must be moved to special schools.

Suzuki Wagon R+ and Splash
The Suzuki Wagon R+ is a badge engineered version of the Agila.
It was replaced by the Splash in 2008 in Europe, however it is still available in countries such as Japan.
You may still be able to buy a new Wagon R+ if you are a European, however they sold in small numbers.

Heatseekers Albums (formerly Top Heatseekers) is a weekly music chart for albums introduced by Billboard in 1993.
It was created to publish sales by new and developing musical recording artists.
Albums that appear on Top Heatseekers may also appear on the Billboard 200 at the same time.
Top Heatseekers contains fifty chart positions.
Although the chart's rules have changed a little bit over the years, its current rules for an album to be allowed to enter Top Heatseekers say it needs to be one of the best-selling albums by a new or developing act (a band or musical artist), meaning an act that has never appeared in the top 100 of the Billboard 200.
If an album on Heatseekers does enter the top 100 of the Billboard 200, it and any albums  the act later releases are not eligible to appear on the Heatseekers chart.
Many artists have bypassed Top Heatseekers because their first chart entry debuted on the Billboard 200 at position 100 or above.
Zoo Entertainment was an American record label, and a part of BMG.
The label was created in the early 1990s by Lou Maglia, the former president of Island Records.
It is now out of operation.
Maglia and former BMG executive Kevin Czinger ran Zoo Entertainment and its successor company Volcano Entertainment.
When money ran out, Volcano's owners sold the company to Zomba Records.
Zomba later entered into a joint venture with Bernstein & Mensch, the rock management company.
Zoo is best known for releasing three multi-platinum Tool albums.
A subculture is a group of people involved in a community of some sort.
Subcultures can be hobbies, groups or communities.
A subculture is a group of people with a culture (whether distinct or hidden) which makes them different from the larger culture that they belong to, known as the "dominant" culture.
If a subculture is described as opposing the dominant culture, it may be described as a counterculture.
As Ken Gelder notes, subcultures are social, with their own shared rules, values and rituals, but they can also seem self-involved — another thing that makes them different from countercultures.
Identifying subcultures
Subcultures can be identified by the members' age, race, ethnicity, social class, location, or gender.
The qualities that distinguish among subcultures may be linguistic, aesthetic, religious, political, sexual, geographical, or a combination of factors.
Members of a subculture often signal each other through the use of fashion style, stereotypical behaviors, and use of a secret language created to prevent outsiders from understanding them (this is known as Argot).
They also live out particular relations to places: Ken Gelder talks about 'subcultural geographies' along these lines.
The study of subcultures often involves the study of symbolism attached to clothing, music and other visible things by members of subcultures, and also the ways that these same symbols are seen and understood by members of the dominate culture.
Subcultures have been documented by others for a long time.
In some cases—such as homeless people, criminal gangs or skateboarders—subcultures have had laws created to control or end their activities.
But subcultures also talk about themselves, very often.

Lapis lazuli is a mineral, and a gemstone.
It is formed as a metamorphic rock of the limestone type.
Lapis is famous for its beautiful blue colour: its name means "stone of blue".
Lapis Lazuli has been used for many things.
Its has been made into beads and used in jewellery since Prehistoric times.
It can be carved into statuettes (little sculptures).
The major use was as a pigment (colour) in artists' paint.
During Medieval and Renaissance times, lapis was ground into powder, and mixed with oil.
It was used as the colour for painting the sky, and blue clothes.
It can be seen in the fresco paintings of Giotto and the tempera paintings of Fra Angelico.
Lazurite has been mined for over 6,000 years in Afghanistan.
It is also mined at Lake Baikal in Siberia; at Mount Vesuvius in Italy; in Burma; Canada; and the United States.
Afghanistan was the source of lapis for the ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations, as well as the Ancient Greeks and Romans.
During the height of the Indus Valley civilization about 2000 BC, the Harappan colony now known as Shortugai was established near the lapis mines.
Lapis lazuli is commercially "synthesized" (actually simulated) by a chemical process, using artificial ultramarine and hydrous zinc phosphates.
There are also various substitutes for lapis.

Set shortly after the events of Spider-Man 2, as Peter Parker prepares for his future with Mary Jane Watson, he faces three more villains: Uncle Ben's true killer, Flint Marko who becomes the Sandman after a freak accident; Harry Osborn, who is now aware of Peter's identity and seeks to avenge his father; and Eddie Brock, a rival photographer who becomes Venom.
Peter also faces his greatest challenge when he bonds with an extraterrestrial symbiote that augments his abilities but brings out his anger and other negative traits.
Development of Spider-Man 3 began immediately after the successful release of Spider-Man 2 for a 2007 release.
During pre-production, Raimi originally wanted another villain to be included along with Sandman.
At the request of producer Avi Arad, he added Venom and the producers also requested the addition of Gwen Stacy.
Principal photography for the film began in January 2006, and took place in Los Angeles and Cleveland before moving to New York City from May until July 2006.
Additional pick-up shots were made after August and the film wrapped in October 2006.
During post-production, Sony Pictures Imageworks created over 900 visual effects shots.
With an estimated production budget of $258–350 million, it was the most expensive film ever made at the time of its release.
Spider-Man 3 premiered on April 16, 2007, in Tokyo, and was released in the United States in both conventional and IMAX theaters on May 4, 2007.
The film grossed $890.9 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film of the trilogy, the third-highest-grossing film of 2007 and was the highest-grossing Spider-Man film until it was surpassed by Spider-Man: Far From Home in 2019.
Unlike the previous installments, Spider-Man 3 received a mixed reception from critics, who praised the performances, visual effects and action sequences, but criticized the overloaded storylines, subplots, and overabundance of villains.
The majority of these topics were later attributed to studio interferences and creative differences between Sony, Raimi and Arad.
A fourth installment, titled Spider-Man 4, was set to be released on May 6, 2011, followed by a Venom spin-off film, but both were canceled due to Raimi's withdrawal over creative differences with the writers and producers.
The Spider-Man film series was rebooted twice; first with The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) by Marc Webb and starring Andrew Garfield; and later a new film series set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, directed by Jon Watts and starring Tom Holland, beginning with Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017).
The Venom spin-off was revived in 2016 by Sony and was finally released in 2018 with Venom, set within Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters and directed by Ruben Fleischer and starring Tom Hardy.
Several months after Otto Octavius' sacrifice, Peter Parker plans to propose to Mary Jane Watson, who has just made her Broadway musical debut.
A meteorite lands at Central Park, and an extraterrestrial symbiote follows Peter to his apartment by latching on to his motorbike after he and Mary Jane leave there after stargazing.
Harry Osborn, seeking vengeance for his father's death and having taken the performance-enhancing gas, attacks Peter with his father's Green Goblin technology, but the battle ends in a stalemate with Harry crashing down and having partial amnesia, losing his memory of Peter as Spider-Man.
Meanwhile, police pursue escaped convict Flint Marko, who visits his wife and sick daughter before fleeing again.
Falling into an experimental particle accelerator that fuses his body with the surrounding sand, he transforms into the Sandman, who can control sand and reform his body with it.
During a festival honoring Spider-Man for saving Gwen Stacy's life, Peter kisses her, angering Mary Jane.
Meanwhile, Marko robs an armored truck, easily defeats Peter and flees.
NYPD Captain George Stacy, Gwen's father, informs Peter and his Aunt May that Marko was uncle Ben's true killer; the deceased Dennis Carradine was Marko's accomplice.
At his apartment, while Peter sleeps in his Spider-Man suit to wait for Marko, the symbiote assimilates the suit; Peter later awakens at the top of a building, discovering that his costume has changed to black and his powers are enhanced; however, the symbiote brings out his dark side.
Peter locates and battles Marko in a subway tunnel.
Discovering that water is Marko's weakness, he opens a pipe, releasing water that reduces Marko to mud and washes him away.
Peter's changed personality alienates Mary Jane, who is struggling in her career because of her shows receiving negative reviews from critics.
She shares a tender moment with Harry, but leaves afterward in regret.
Harry recovers from his amnesia, urged by a hallucination of his father and coerces Mary Jane into breaking up with Peter.
After Mary Jane tells Peter she loves "somebody else," Harry meets with Peter and claims to be that person.
Peter confronts Harry over this and spitefully tells him that his father never loved him.
Another battle ensues, with Harry throwing a pumpkin bomb at Peter, who deflects it back, disfiguring Harry's face.
At the Daily Bugle, Peter exposes rival photographer Eddie Brock, whose fake photos depict Spider-Man as a criminal.
Publisher J. Jonah Jameson fires Brock and hires Peter to be a staff photographer.
Later, Peter brings Gwen to a jazz club, where Mary Jane now works.
Peter passionately dances with Gwen in front of Mary Jane, in order to make her jealous.
Gwen, realizing this, apologizes to Mary Jane and leaves.
After assaulting the bouncers and accidentally hitting Mary Jane, Peter finally realizes that the symbiote is corrupting him.
Retreating to a church's bell tower, upon realizing high-pitched sounds weakens the creature, Peter removes the symbiote, where it bonds with Brock, transforming him into Venom.
Brock locates Marko, who survived being washed away, and convinces him to join forces to defeat Peter.
Brock abducts Mary Jane and holds her captive from a web high at a construction site, while Marko keeps the police at bay.
After Harry refuses to help Peter, he finally learns the truth about his father's death from his butler.
While Peter battles Brock and Marko, Harry arrives to help him with his Green Goblin technology and saves Mary Jane.
Brock attempts to impale Peter with Harry's glider, but Harry jumps in and is impaled himself.
Peter, remembering the symbiote's weakness, assembles a perimeter of metal pipes to create a sonic attack, weakening it and allowing Peter to separate Brock from the symbiote.
He activates a pumpkin bomb from Harry's glider and throws it at the symbiote.
However, Brock, who became addicted to its influence, attempts to save it, and ends up vaporized along with the symbiote.
Afterward, Marko explains that Ben's death was an accident that has haunted Marko ever since; Peter forgives Marko, allowing him to escape.
Harry and Peter reconcile before Harry subsequently dies from his injuries.
Sometime later after Harry's funeral, Peter and Mary Jane reconcile and share a dance at the jazz club.

Benozzo Gozzoli  (4 October 1497) was an Italian Renaissance painter.
He is most famous for a small chapel that he decorated with frescos of the Procession of the Magi.
Benozzo was born in Florence in about 1420.
Nothing is known about his parents, or how he started training as an artist.
The first that is known of him is that in 1444 he was working with the famous sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti, who was making the bronze doors for the Baptistry of Florence Cathedral.
In 1447 he started working with the painter Fra Angelico.
He went to Rome with Fra Angelico to help paint the Chapel of Pope Nicholas V in the Vatican.
In 1449 he was working in his own studio.
For many years Benozzo worked as an assistant to other artists.
At that time, he had to make his style match the style of the master, so it is hard to tell his art works apart.
When Benozzo painted on his own, his pictures are rich with many details in the clothing, the buildings and the landscape.
He was extremely good at painting faces, and many of the people in his pictures seem to be portraits of real people.
In 1450 he had two important jobs.
The first was to paint the Life of St Francis of Assisi in the town of Montefalco.
In Florence, a new palace had been built for Cosimo Medici.
Benozzo got the job of decorating the walls with frescos.
The paintings are a the Procession of the Magi. "
The Magi" is a term used for the wise men who, in the Gospel of Matthew, came to visit Jesus as a young child.
They are often also called "The Three Kings".
The Palace is called the Riccardi-Medici Palace.
Benozzo painted a great procession going around the walls of the chapel, with well-known people painted as the Kings, and members of the Medici family and their friends in the procession.
The painting is brightly coloured and full all many interesting details.
Benozzo also worked in the city of San Gimignano.
In the Collegiate Church, where there were already many frescoes, he painted a picture of Saint Sebastian.
At St. Augustine's Church, he painted another picture of Saint Sebastian.
Saint Sebastian was the saint who people asked to help when plague was making people in the town sick.
Benozzo then painted one of his most important works, a series of frescos in the "chancel" (main chapel) of the church, showing the life of Saint Augustine.
There are 17 large pictures, each one telling a scene from the saint's life.

The Flame in All of Us is the last album released by Thousand Foot Krutch.

It has more of a rock sound than earlier albums, but also has some softer songs.
The band recorded with producer Ken Andrews in the Spring of 2007.

Five songs from The Flame in All of Us were put on the internet before the album actually released.
One of them, Falls Apart was a single for the band.
Falls Apart was a single released by Thousand Foot Krutch in 2007.
It was made available online in July 2007.
It is on their album The Flame in All of Us.
The "Falls Apart" video starts off showing the band in a dark wood room, with lots of rope around them.
The members only have enough room to play their instruments.
Eventually a man and a woman are shown and they are being held together by ropes.
The man walks over to the woman and puts his arm around her.
After a while she gets up and starts walking away, but then the ropes come off around everyone (the band and the couple alike).
Because of this all of the body parts of the couple lie on the floor.
But the man's hand crawls to the woman's hand and they hold each other while the band ends the song.
