disappearing songs...
This information puts a whole new twist on Shakespeare'sIncredible how the disappearance of songs can reduce the ability of bird populations to reproduce and survive, making life even more precarious for endangered forest birds e.g.Kauai— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 13, 2020

I did not know...
In his 2006 book, 'Listening to Artifacts: Music Culture in Ancient Israel/Palestine', Theodore Burgh suggests that classical music ultimately has its roots in North Africa, in the art music of Ancient Egypt, as well as other ancient cultures such as Greece.Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges (1745–1799— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 13, 2020

Tweed Ride or Tweed Run...
This must be the most quirky event...a Tweed Ride or Tweed Run. It was first held in London 2009, but since has exploded around the world. In Russia, it's a throwback to the decade the beloved St. Petersburg Shuffleboard Club was founded. pic.twitter.com/CzU2OUYq7V— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 13, 2020
This event is even celebrated in Iceland and proudly presents a Facebook page.
A blogger who had never been to Iceland before, participated in the 2019 Tweed Ride and details his experiences with words and images.

once a dairy powerhouse...
Australia was once a dairy powerhouse - in fact, just 20 years ago, we were the third biggest producer in the world.— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 12, 2020
But a perfect storm of bad weather, high feed costs and inconsistent milk prices has seen droves of farmers walking off the land.https://t.co/TKUyjL46GM https://t.co/2zwpjSLqoK
But is cotton a great alternative? A crop demanding a regular supply of water?
Park of Monsters...
THE PARK OF THE MONSTERS commissioned in 1552 by Prince Pier Francesco Orsini, was an expression of grief designed to shock. The Prince had been through a brutal war, had his friend killed, been held for ransom for years, and come home only to have his beloved wife die. https://t.co/vdGDtQD8XC— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 12, 2020
Perhaps the most frightening piece in the garden is an enormous head, mouth opened wide in a scream. The accompanying inscription reads “all reason departs.”
Salvador Dalà visited the park and loved it. He was so inspired, he shot a short film there, and the sculptures inspired his 1946 painting 'The Temptation of Saint Anthony'.

Aboriginal engineers...
I believe too that aborigines in the Gippsland area of Victoria lived in particular regions, not crossing into other aboriginal territories...Not all indigenous Australians were nomadic - Aboriginal engineers - Amazing awareness of working with the landscape. Built in the lava flows of the now dormant volcano Budj Bim, it required ongoing maintenance and modification. https://t.co/bNlm5aGbTj pic.twitter.com/I4UNjMtnEp— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 12, 2020
