The problem with reading on phones or watching videos is that I can’t read if there is no internet for some time," said Kiara to NDTV. “Reading from books is extremely enjoyable. Kiara often treads books that are meant for older children, but she says she loves reading books because of colourful pictures and how words are written so big on them! A few of her favourite reads are Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Shooting Star. The US-born child has inherited the reading habit from her grandfather, who would take deep interest to listen to Kiara’s storytelling skills over calls. ![]() Speaking to NDTV, the five-year-old’s parents have said that Kiara has read over 200 books in the past year and when she runs out of new books, she likes to re-read the old ones. Kiara’s love and passion for reading were first noted by one of her teachers at a school in Abu Dhabi that she had attended before it shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Asia Book of Records has stated that Kiara “set a record for reading a maximum number of books nonstop" while the World Book of Records in London certified the ‘child prodigy’ for “for having specific ability to read non-stop 36 books in 105 minutes at the age of 4 years on 13th February." Kiara Kaur, born to Chennai-based parents, currently resides in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and has entered the World Book of Records in London and Asia Book of Records. A five-year-old Indian-American girl set two records for reading 36 books continuously for 105 minutes. ![]()

You won't be able to alter the size or shape of a planet, but geological features like lofty volcanoes or winding lakes can be planted with a click of your mouse. ![]() While we weren't allowed to get hands-on with the world-shaping, the demo that EA showed us demonstrated that Adventure Creator should be just as intuitive a tool as all of Spore's others. (EA said Wednesday that over 65 million creations are currently on the servers.) And with the social networking trappings of "Sporepedia," a compendium of user-created content, your universe is automatically populated by the creations of other players hooked in to the network. Spore allows you to play God: prodding a single-celled organism along the evolutionary road, you design entire civilizations to explore vast tracts of space, befriending (or conquering) neighbors. It expands the creative pathways open to players by allowing them to create their own gameplay. The highlight of the event was Spore Galactic Adventures (pictured above), the game's first expansion pack for PC and Mac. But the Wii format will bring new challenges - it'll use the console's motion controls - and probably a whole new audience.Ī Nintendo DS version of the game, Spore Hero Arena, is also scheduled for a fall release. While EA held back on the details, it said that the game will maintain the franchise's focus on creating content and interacting with friends. Spore Hero will allow players to create and interact with a fully rendered creature, and then lead them on a casual adventure to become their galaxy's champion, with a number of challenges along the way. EA finally made the official announcement last night: Spore Hero will be available this fall. Will Wright has said repeatedly that his company had planned on releasing a version of Spore for Nintendo's Wii console. ![]() EA says it expects to release Creature Keeper in the summer. ![]() ![]() ![]() I have also written a detailed tutorial on how to use Scrivener to create an iBook for iTunes. Now that you have made these changes, each of your iBook pages will look exactly as you want them to look. You will have to scroll through the layout menu to find the other template pages such as “copyright” and “dedication” to make them look like your other pages or you can make them look however you desire. As stated, I would probably lighten the background paper image a bit to make it more readable. If you don’t like it, you can always go back and change it. When I click “Apply Changes” the template for Chapter Text will be changed to fit what I have been designing up to now. Here I am changing the background paper by selecting “fill” -> “image fill” then choosing this scraped and rusted metal public domain photoshop background. I can even modify the background paper (even though I would probably lighten this image a bit before using it to make the text more readable) This gives the iBook a different feel. Understand that you probably want to keep the gutter sizes and other details the same because Apple is a little picky about iBooks looking just right. Download DesiGN for iBooks - Templates for macOS 10.11 or later and enjoy it on your Mac. I can change the font size, modify the color of the font, or do a plethora of other things to the template. Read reviews, compare customer ratings, see screenshots and learn more about DesiGN for iBooks - Templates. I can use the built in “inspector” to modify anything I want about this template. I’ll leave the main body text alone, but I could modify that as well if I want to. ![]() I am publishing “This Broken Earth” (my post-apocalyptic extravaganza) as an iBook, so I will want my fonts to have a look that suits that genre. This latest update to Pages brings a full-featured ePub 3 book-editing experience to the Mac, iPhone, and iPad there are multiple templates for both free-flowing and fixed-format ebooks, with support for text, multimedia galleries, custom styles, drawings, and video. ![]() I can now select any font I want on this template and change it to a default setting of my choosing.

Kim Chi for example was considering being Pearl, of S7 fame, because they’re such good friends, but in the end opted for Kim Jong Un, because it would allow him to show a more “fucked up” side of himself. The Drama : As is common with Snatch Game, the drama backstage circulated not so much around who the queens chose to be for Snatch Game, but who they didn’t choose. Just bear with it, the jokes are usually crude enough to make sense whoever they’re being applied to. Like, occasionally there’s an Adele or a Maggie Smith or a Cher but it’s a lot of Real Housewives of Storage Wars. For those of you who are new, Snatch Game is when the queens impersonate a bunch of minor American celebrities you’ve never heard of as part of a Blankety Blank format, and you nod along and laugh vaguely when you think you’re supposed to. The Challenge : Yet again no mini challenge this week, as Ru got right into cuing in Snatch Game, via a tortuous sub-Katya “lolrandom” aside that probably shouldn’t have survived the edit. Honestly I could watch Derrick (“I AM NOT! THAT! INNOCENT!”) and Bob (“GUYS, GUYS, AM I RIGHT, BACK ME UP, AM I RIGHT HERE GUYS?”) all day, but I can see how the general public would find it wearing. Kim Chi was sat there in her shitty Picasso make-up, and Acid Betty was placed, stentorian posed, at the head of the table, like the grand high galactic rooster of the supreme space-monster court. ![]() This high drama was leavened slightly by the fact that every time the camera panned back Chi Chi apologised to Derrick for not being a team player as part of Dragometry last week, Derrick called Chi Chi a bitch, Naomi then told Derrick she should have lip-synced for her life against Naysha instead of Chi Chi, Derrick then bragged that Debbie Harry loved him so clearly not, then Bob decided to take their Untucked feud prime time and told Derrick that he’s boring and snide. The Aftermath : Given that this was Naysha’s second funeral, it was no surprise that the congregation skipped mourning entirely and got straight to hurling one another bodily into the grave like they were in an Eastenders Xmas Special. Everyone’s favourite episode (to complain about afterwards!) ![]() ![]() Factors cited were the heavy debt incurred during its aggressive expansion in the 1990s, growing competition from mass discounters and Internet piracy. Tower Records entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy for the first time in 2004. From 1983 until December 2002 Tower Records published it monthly, 222 issues in all. After nine years, in 1992, the magazine began national distribution with a cover price of $2.95, but it was canceled when the company discontinued U.S. ![]() Initially, it was given away free in their stores to promote their record sales. In 1983, the company began publishing a music magazine, Pulse!, which contained record reviews, interviews, and advertising. In addition to compact discs and cassette tapes, the stores sold DVDs, electronic gadgets like mp3 players, video games, accessories, and toys, and a few Tower Records locations sold books as well, such as those in Fremont, Brea, Mountain View, and Sacramento, California, as well as stores in Austin, Boston, Massachusetts, Nashville, New York City, Portland, Oregon, and Seattle. The program was free of charge and allowed a customer to receive a membership card that could be scanned with each purchase, allowing the customer to receive coupons and notification of special deals via e-mail. In 2006, the company introduced the Tower Insider program. In the years that followed, this model of listening station was still used at the Arizona-based chain Zia Records. These stations allowed customers to listen to audio samples from CDs and to search for particular songs, albums and artists. In 2005, the company began using "scan and listen" stations in its stores. It is estimated that between 19 customers were overcharged by nearly $500 million and up to $5 per album. Īs part of a 2002 settlement with 41 states over CD price fixing Tower Records, along with retailers Musicland and Trans World Entertainment, agreed to pay a $3 million fine. Because of the store's proximity to Music Row, country music stars could occasionally be seen performing or shopping there. The location was famous for their late-night Monday events that culminated at midnight on Tuesday when staff started ringing up sales of new releases. The strip mall next door contained a separate Tower Books. The area in the back housed videocassette sales and rentals, PC and console games and music paraphernalia. ![]() The old showroom floor in front was devoted to CDs, cassettes and vinyl. The Nashville location on West End Avenue (across from Vanderbilt University) was in a former Packard dealership. There was also a location in the basement of Trump Tower, and a small clearance annex on 86th Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Their location on the Upper West Side, near Lincoln Center on 66th Street and Broadway, was a magnet for those working in the field of musical theatre. The third store, Tower Video, was located on the southeast corner of East 4th and Lafayette Street, and specialized in video and the second floor of this location also sold books. The Tower Records Annex was in the same building, located at the southwest corner of East 4th and Lafayette Street. The main store was located at the southeast corner of East 4th Street and Broadway. In New York City, Tower Records operated a suite of stores on and near lower Broadway in Greenwich Village. History Īn advertisement from WQXR promoting CD compilation for Tower Records, 1986 On November 13, 2020, Tower Records announced that it had returned as an online retailer with plans to open future physical locations. ![]() Tower Records was purchased by a separate entity and was not affected by the retail store closings. From 1960 until 2006, Tower operated retail stores in the United States, which closed when Tower Records filed for bankruptcy and liquidation.
