Bird songs bump stars off Australian music chart

An album made up entirely of the tweets and squawks of endangered Australian birds has debuted in the top five of the country's Aria music charts.

Songs of Disappearance is surpassing the likes of Abba and The Weeknd - not to mention Christmas favourites Michael Bublé and Mariah Carey.

Created by BirdLife Australia, the album features the birdsongs of 53 of Australia's most threatened species.

Also a vulnerable species, so Mankind's nearly got them on the ropes.

Supply chain issues and a world wide shortage of lorry/truck drivers to blame.

Actually those are the digits that supposedly evolved from the Hindu-Arabic notation. The original Hindu symbols look almost nothing like the 15th century version.

BBC - Five things you definitely heard if you owned a Blackberry

If you're reading this on a touchscreen smartphone with hundreds of apps, instant messaging and good quality camera, let's take a second to reminisce.

If you had a phone in the 2000s and 2010s, there's a decent chance you were owner to some form of Blackberry handset.

Today marks the end of an era; the company's software will stop working entirely.

It stopped making its own phones in 2016.


We're taking a trip down memory lane, to honour the iconic memories associated with the iconic, and now defunct, Blackberry.

Viral Video Of Royal Guard Plowing Into Young Kid Sparks Debate - Comic Sands

A TikTok video showing a Tower of London guardsman trampling a child who was standing in his direct path sparked a debate online.

Some maintained the child should have stayed out of the way of the two marching soldiers of the Scots Guards.

Others argued it wasn't completely necessary for a child to be knocked over and trampled by a grown man.

"Students shouldn't go out into life without the ability to communicate, and that's because your success in life will be determined largely by your ability to speak, your ability to write, and the quality of your ideas. In that order."
