UK's first socially distanced concert shows what the future of live music might look like

When the coronavirus pandemic emerged, the music and 

hospitality industry took a beating. Concerts and events 

were canceled all over the world as countries 

imposed lockdown restrictions and stay-at-home orders 

to curb the spread of the virus.

A new UK pop-up venue, the Virgin Money Unity Arena, 

is testing this out. Some 2,500 fans gathered at the 

outdoor venue Tuesday for what organizers described 

as the UK's first socially distanced concert.

This splash of color isn’t the surface of a science 

fiction-inspired planet. It’s the yearly bloom of the 

Red Beach Wetland in Panjin City, China. 

Every fall, the massive mudflat turns 

a dramatic shade of red thanks to the presence of a 

unique type of blossoming seepweed. 

The area is also home to hundreds of migratory birds, 

including endangered black-billed gulls and wild 

red-crowned cranes-- the second-rarest crane in the world.

Playing in one of the unfinished journals ...

I call him the player, and I stopped before giving him legs.

I lean toward unfinished and extortion?

There was room for legs, but I liked the look as is? 

Above is how it looks in my journal. The top image is digitized.

You gotta see this

This is a satellite image of Antarctica (which explains all the ice and snow), and those little brown smudges are ... wait for it ... penguin colonies! New imaging has revealed that there are nearly 20% more emperor penguin colonies in Antarctica than previously thought. That's good news, for the most part, because penguins are always good news. However, scientists have pointed out that, with the looming specter of climate change, the fate of the colonies will tell us a lot about how Antarctica is being affected.

Who knew?

Seabird poop could be worth millions of dollars. At least, that’s what scientists studying it say. Researchers claim that guano — waste produced by seagulls, pelicans, and penguins — can be used as commercial fertilizer and is vital for contributing nutrients to marine ecosystems because of the various fragrant and ecologically important gases it produces. The value of such organic treasure could be $473 million each year, and possibly much more. Well, one bird’s waste is the planet’s treasure?
