As Rose Records transforms into an online channel, its physical stores have closed down one after another. Rose Records Taichung, the music chain’s last physical store, also announced on its Facebook page that it would cease business as from yesterday.
In June 2002, Taiwan’s two largest music chains — Rose Records and Tachung Records — were integrated to form a new company, G-Music, which has since become the country’s leading physical record sales channel.
In recent years, however, physical music stores’ business has shifted to online sellers, and Rose Records’ outlets in all other cities and counties have already closed down. As the last remaining outlet over the past year or two, the Taichung branch finally announced that it would cease business as well.

The third-hottest July worldwide ended a string of record-breaking temperatures last month, but many regions were still devastated by extreme weather amplified by global warming, the European climate monitoring service said Thursday last week. Heavy rains flooded Pakistan and northern China; Canada, Scotland and Greece struggled to tame wildfires intensified by persistent drought; and many nations in Asia and Scandinavia recorded new average highs for the month. “Two years after the hottest July on record, the recent streak of global temperature records is over,” Carlo Buontempo, director of the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, said in a statement. “But that
Peacocks are among the most beautiful birds in the world. Their bright feathers and graceful movements have fascinated humans for centuries. These magnificent creatures belong to the pheasant family and are found in regions across Asia and Africa. Let’s explore peacocks’ unique characteristics and cultural significance.

This discovery revealed that whale sharks are ovoviviparous. Instead of laying eggs in the ocean, the mother carries them internally until they hatch, giving birth to fully developed live young. Since the eggs don’t hatch all at once, embryos at different stages of development can all exist within
