Take a Look Inside the Return of “Yoga on the Rocks” at Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Red Rocks Amphitheatre was one of countless concert venues to shutter due to the impact of COVID-19. As those venues continue to toil away in the painstaking process of navigating the convoluted phases of reopening, many, like Red Rocks, are thinking outside the box. They say that when the air is thin, it makes your heart bigger—a phenomenon that many are desperately seeking in these harrowing times. The fabled Colorado open air venue, which is situated 6,450 feet above sea level, hosted the return of its “Yoga on the Rocks” series over the weekend and invited people to its sprawling property for some much-needed R & R. Those who have attended concerts at Red Rocks can attest that there is nothing quite like it due to its picturesque views and utopian fl...

Indian Farmers are Using Dance Music to Fight Against Invading Locusts
Due to an unprecedented number of locust invasions on their farmlands, many Indian farmers are resorting to unorthodox means of fighting against the pesky insects, which are decimating their crops. According to a report published in Singapore-based news outlet The Straits Times, farmers are lighting firecrackers, clanging pots and pans, and even blasting electronic dance music in their efforts to ward off the locusts. The locust invasions are the worst that farmers have seen in the last 26 years and local officials have struggled mightily in their efforts to contain them. Swarms reportedly began to migrate from Pakistan and Iran back in April following the worst outbreak in decades in eastern Africa, which was precipitated by high rainfall and, in turn, favorable breeding weather. In...
