'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.
Most bags today look like they were produced by bored machines in a dimly lit factory. You can walk into any mall and find rows of identical leather (or “leather-like”) things, all claiming to express individuality. Ironically, though, they all look exactly the same. Then there’s Abby Verano . Her bags are not mere accessories; they’re declarations. Each one is hand-painted, touched by an actual human being with an imagination. Abby doesn’t just sell you something to put your wallet and smartphone in; she sells you a story, a vision, a little revolt against the tyranny of sameness. Her tools are simple — brushes, acrylic paint, bags made from pandan leaves, and creativity. No duplicates. No clones. Just one-of-a-kind art pieces you can carry.
These illustrations by Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore explore the inner workings of some of the most famous Star Wars vehicles, from the AT-AT walker to the Millennium Falcon. The interesting part about these images is that they're completely hand drawn, with no help from a computer whatsoever. Prepare to marvel at these wonderful examples of sci-fi art!
