'My Storytime' allows parents to read bedtime stories no matter where they are
Sitting down with your kids to read a book not only helps you bond with them, but also gives your little ones a sense of well-being. Even babies benefit from the experience of hearing stories. Reading to young children, starting in infancy, can help with language acquisition and literacy skills.
Unfortunately, kids with deployed parents spend days and nights without their mom or dad home for a story. To tackle this issue, Google has partnered with Instrument to offer My Storytime—an incredibly convenient way for parents to keep story time alive, no matter where they are.
With the app, parents can record themselves reading different chapters of stories, or upload the existing audio files and then play back these recordings on Nest Mini, Nest Hub, and Nest Hub Max devices. This is obviously handy for moms and dads who work night shifts, or travel often for work.
My mother used to read bible stories to me. Then I would repeat them to my friends. The story of Lot bothered the hell out of them.
To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.
If you’re a fan of art that makes you do a double-take, you need to check out Richard Brener . Based in the UK, Richard is an internationally collected artist who works primarily with ink, fineliners, and gouache. When you first see his pieces, they actually look pretty playful. Then you realize the entire canvas is packed with thousands of tiny, ghost-like shapes he calls "champs." They’re all squeezed together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and the level of detail is honestly mind-blowing. Richard spends hundreds of hours drawing these little guys over and over. It’s obsessive, very intentional, and a little bit wild. The cool part is that the longer you stare, the more the vibe shifts. Check out more photos below:
The idea of preserving tattoos after death came into existence long before NAPSA . London's Wellcome Collection has over 300 specimens of preserved human flesh bearing tattoos , collected in the late 19th century. There are many more examples of smaller collections in Paris, Poland, Portugal, Berlin, and Austria. But what fascinates me the most is this lesser-known museum at Tokyo University, the Medical Pathology Museum, which houses pieces of skin collected since 1926 by Dr. Masaichi Fukushi. "Fukushi would perform autopsies on donated cadavers and dissect off just the skin. He created a method of treatment to preserve the skin and kept them stretched in a glass frame, essentially like a leather. Later the ownership of the tattooed skin collection was passed on to Fukushi's son Katsunari. Katsunari added a further 20 tattooed skins himself and it's believed that the Medical Pathology Museum has 105 in its collection, many with full body suits." ...
