Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter has explained midfielder Thulani Serero's return to the national team, saying that they are both on the same page regarding his role in the team.
Serero has been included in the 23-man squad to face Nigeria on Saturday, November 17 in a 2019 Caf African Cup of Nations qualifier at the FNB Stadium.
"I have spoken to Thulani, and we are on the same page," Baxter was quoted as saying by IOL.
Serero voiced his unhappiness after sitting on the bench in a 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifier against Senegal last year and later demanded to get guarantees for game time under the English-born coach.
Serero's demands eventually led him to being banned from representing his country.
"His return is unconditional, and he has assured me of this. I was delighted to hear that," added the coach.
"I know what happened in the past, but he gets a second chance with me. It's not open the door and close it like an old Wild West saloon," he continued.
"It matters what sort of environment we have around the national team – the code of conduct the public wants from the national team. He is a national team and an impact player," concluded the English coach.
Moreover, the Soweto-born attacking midfielder has been roped in to boost Baxter's midfield options with the likes of Bongani Zungu, Dean Furman, Sibusiso Vilakazi as well as Kamohelo Mokotjo ruled out with injuries.

"Structuring" requires 2 or more transactions of $10,000.00 or less, on the same day, that total more than $10,000.00.
Kent Hovind: Affirm
(See below for complete list of suggested topics.)
Joseph Edward, on February 2, 2019, had a scheduled discussion, via phone, with Kent Hovind, about Joseph's interest in arranging for a one-on-one meeting between me, Robert Baty, and Kent Hovind to discuss our different positions on Kent's criminal conduct and such other matters as might be mutually agreed upon.
The conversation was not recorded by Joseph Edward, but Joseph did provide the following report of the conversation he had with Kent Hovind.
(Begin quote.)
Today at 2:14 P.M. I, Joseph Edward, made the attempt to propose a paid debate between Dr. Kent Hovind and Robert Baty.
Unfortunately the proposal was rejected due to the reason Dr. Kent Hovind gave:
"I do not want to give him more fame…"
Dr. Kent Hovind did state that a debate may be accepted by Brady Byrum, so we may work with the details on that in the near future.
– Joseph Edward
– February 2, 2019
– https://www.facebook.com/reverendjedward01272017
(End quote.)
We will have to wait and see if Joseph can get Brady to accept the invitation on behalf of Kent Hovind, as Kent's surrogate and openly, honestly negotiate the appropriate details necessary for a proper exchange on matters of mutual interest.

Beware: This Ingredient in Dietary Supplements Has Been Linked to Miscarriages
Remember: don't take anything your doctor did not prescribe you
by Lei Dimarucut-Sison . 6 days ago
PHOTO BY @LightFieldStudios/iStock
A woman who is preparing for pregnancy will want to condition her body to make it optimal for the life it will nurture for nine months (or 42 weeks). That means getting enough rest and sleep, adding exercise to her routine, keeping away from unhealthy habits or vices, and making sure she is well-nourished.
Upon consultation, a qualified ob-gyn may prescribe multivitamins to supplement the gap if it is deemed that the woman isn't getting the nutrients she needs from her regular diet. Among these supplements may be folic acid, which helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects and other congenital abnormalities in the baby; iron, which is responsible for oxygen and blood production (as you know, a woman's blood volume increases by 50 during pregnancy to support the fetus); and probiotics, which may benefit digestive health of both the mom and her baby.
Some women tend to overdo it, however. Because food supplements are widely available these days, and with each one claiming to be good for you, it can be enticing to try them out in the name of wellness. However, caution must always be practiced, and it is advisable to consult with your doctor, especially if you are hoping to get pregnant.
4 Signs You're Ready to Be a Mom
Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a warning against a certain ingredient commonly found in food supplements, which has been found to have an adverse effect on pregnancy.
Vinpocetine, a synthetic ingredient in dietary supplements being marketed for weight loss and to enhance memory function, has been found to cause harm to pregnant women.
A report from the National Toxicology Program of the National Institutes of Health showed that when tested on animals, vinpocetine decreased fetal weight and increased a female's chances of miscarriage, which could also hold true when it is consumed by humans. Vinpocetine could also harm fetal development, according to the report.
Next to Folic Acid, Omega-3 Supplement May Soon Be a Staple for Pregnant Women
The FDA encouraged consumers to be vigilant when buying health supplements. It also listed the different names by which vinpocetine may be packaged, including "Vinca minor extract," "lesser periwinkle extract," or "common periwinkle extract." It may be sold as a dietary supplement combined with other ingredients, or on its own.
"We're advising pregnant women and women who could become pregnant not to take vinpocetine," the FDA's statement further reads.
"We are also advising firms marketing dietary supplements containing vinpocetine to evaluate their product labeling to ensure that it provides safety warnings against use by pregnant women and women who could become pregnant," it adds.

Q: Analytic continuation of $ f(x,y)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} e^{-(k^xn^y)}$ I was thinking about adding up points on a particular surface and I derived the function $f(x,y).$

How do you maximally analytically continue $f(x,y)$?

$$ f(x,y)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} e^{-(k^xn^y)}$$
I think $f(x,y)$ converges for $\Re(x,y)>1$ but I'm not sure. This is partly motivated by the question Analytic continuation.
I'm thinking about using a Cahen-Mellin integral with double integrals and then proceeding using the techniques in the linked question.
I'm interested in any literature where this function appears.

ABC Ignores Clinton Connection to Dem Donor Sex Offender Jeffrey Epstein
By Kristine Marsh | July 8, 2019 11:46 AM EDT
Monday morning all three networks covered the arrest of billionaire, convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who also happened to be a major Democrat donor, for new charges of sex trafficking. However, ABC was the only network to omit Epstein's highly controversial connection to former President Bill Clinton.
The closest ABC's Amy Robach got to mentioning Clinton in her report was this line: "The 66-year-old money manager who has been associated with some of the world's most powerful people including former presidents and movie stars..."
However not even an image on screen of Clinton accompanied this line, leaving uninformed viewers to speculate which President she was referring to.
According to Fox News, Clinton was a frequent flier on Epstein's private jet full of underage girls:
Court documents obtained by Fox News in 2016 showed former President Bill Clinton took at least 26 trips flying aboard Epstein's private jet -- known as the "Lolita Express" -- and apparently ditched his Secret Service detail on some of the excursions
Anchor George Stephanopoulos, who formerly worked for President Clinton, also mentioned later that Epstein was "very well-connected" without naming names.
While ABC didn't mention Clinton, like the other networks did, Robach also didn't mention President Trump and his former relationship with Epstein, either. ABC even appeared to crop Trump out of a photo with Epstein that the other networks used.
CBS and NBC, on the other hand, tried to connect Epstein to Trump. While NBC's Stephanie Gosk gave a passing mention to both Clinton and Trump (without any mention of the "Lolita Express"), CBS This Morning's Mola Lenghi spent more time on both Trump and Clinton, while emphasizing comments Trump made praising Epstein in 2002:
Epstein has had several high-profile friendships in the past. Bill Clinton reportedly rode on his jet more than a dozen times in the early 2000s. In a 2002 interview, then private citizen Donald Trump called Epstein 'a terrific guy' and 'it's even said he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them, are on the younger side.'
However, Lenghi didn't mention that after Epstein had been convicted of assaulting an underage girl, Trump had barred him from Mar-a-Lago.
All three networks didn't mention either that Epstein was a major donor to Democrats for years, a fact that most certainly would've made the cut had he donated to Republicans.

'Sesame Street' writer hints Bert and Ernie are a 'loving couple'
By Adam Frisk	National Online Journalist, Viral/Trends	Global News
WATCH: Sesame Street said on Tuesday that beloved characters Bert and Ernie were not a couple, despite a writer saying on Sunday he had always written them as a "loving couple."
A longtime Sesame Street writer has addressed decades-old speculation as to whether two of the show's most beloved characters, Bert and Ernie, are a same-sex couple.
Script and songwriter Mark Saltzman revealed in an interview published on Sunday that he had written Bert and Ernie as lovers.
"I always felt that without a huge agenda, when I was writing Bert and Ernie, they were," Saltzman told LGBTQ website Queerty.
READ MORE: Seth Rogen teases 'Sesame Street' cameo, internet responds with 'pot' shots, jokes
Saltzman, a 15-year writer who began his career with the educational show in 1984, said that friends of his would often refer to him and his partner at the time, movie editor Arnold Glassman, as Bert and Ernie.
"I didn't have any other way to contextualize them," Saltzman said of the Muppets. "The other thing was, more than one person referred to Arnie and I as 'Bert and Ernie.'
Saltzman wasn't "out" to his professional colleagues when he joined Sesame Street, but eventually came out during his time with show.
"I can remember pitching to the education department, the gatekeepers of the curriculum, gay content, just to get it off my conscience," the writer told Queerty. "And I can remember being stonewalled in a way that it made me think it was a lost cause. My activism isn't a hit-the-streets variety, and what Sesame Street was doing racially, you certainly don't want to denounce it."
"I would have liked to have been the first writer to do the 'two mommy' episode. I don't know if they've ever gotten to it. I'm thinking of the Bert and Ernie New Yorker cover," Saltzman said.

Saltzman was referring the 2013 cover of the New Yorker that featured Bert and Ernie, who have long since been an icon in the LGBTQ community, on the cover in recognition of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriages.
Bert and Ernie featured on the cover the New Yorker in 2013.
Saltzman said his personal life took on a Bert-and-Ernie kind of relationship.
"I was Ernie. I look more Bert-ish,"the writer said. "And Arnie as a film editor—if you thought of Bert with a job in the world, wouldn't that be perfect? Bert with his paper clips and organization?
"And I was the jokester," Saltzman said adding that he didn't "think I'd know how else to write them, but as a loving couple."
In an email to Global News, the educational show reaffirmed that Bert and Ernie are "best friends" and nothing more.
"As we have always said, Bert and Ernie are best friends. They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves," the show said. "Even though they are identified as male characters and possess many human traits and characteristics (as most Sesame Street Muppets™ do), they remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation."
Sesame Street and its founder, Jim Henson, have long said that Bert and Ernie have been nothing more than just puppets.

Sainte-Claire Beach
Beach - Goyave
This wide, easy-access volcanic sand beach maintained by the National Forest Office has an untouched quality. The breezy spot, equipped with wooden shade structures, is perfect for family outings. The Castagnette Ravine, a tributary of Petite Rivière à Goyaves, which empties into the sea north of here, bisects it. The coral barrier reef is close to the shore, and lucky visitors may spot rays, king mackerel, triggerfish, etc. For the past few years, the area has benefitted from the efforts of local citizens, who have mounted cleanup efforts in partnership with the National Park of Guadeloupe, the commune, and various organizations. An indigenous tree-planting initiative has also been launched ("raisiniers"—"grape-plants"—mangroves, galba trees, catalpas, etc.). The goal is to stem erosion, recreate an ecosystem, and promote the return of the sea turtle to its natural egg-laying habitat. Of course, these new efforts also require changes in behavior. Access restrictions, defined camping and hiking areas, and a visitor information campaign are being developed with the Conservatoire du littoral ("Shoreline Conservatory"), which owns the site.
On January 18, 1852, the 600-tonne mooring vessel "La Loire," sailing from Brest, France, ran aground here on the reefs offshore. Victims of the shipwreck (soldiers) were rescued using an inflatable life raft shuttling between the vessel and Sainte-Claire beach, and taken in by the Fort'île plantation. Since then, this dangerous area has been referred to as Caye La Loire.

Jeremy Corbyn will whip Labour MPs to support a Brexit referendum in the indicative votes – but could face a wave of resignations from frontbenchers determined not to back it.
The Guardian understands a delegation of shadow ministers, including known second referendum sceptics Ian Lavery, Jon Trickett and Richard Burgon, held a meeting lasting more than two hours on Tuesday evening with John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor.
The motion, tabled by Dame Margaret Beckett, suggests parliament should not ratify any Brexit deal "unless and until" it has been approved in a "confirmatory public vote".
One shadow cabinet source suggested the amendment went beyond what had been agreed by Corbyn in calling for a referendum on any deal passed by the house, which some believe undermines efforts to reach a compromise Brexit deal that Labour has pursued over recent weeks.
However, there was also a furious backlash on Wednesday morning from the pro-referendum wing of the party against an interview by the shadow international trade secretary, Barry Gardiner, in which he said Labour was "not a remain party now" and it could have difficulty supporting a motion for a referendum on any Brexit deal.
"It would be saying we could accept what we have always said is a very bad deal. Therefore it looks as if the attempt to have a public vote on it is simply a way of trying to remain because nobody likes this deal," Gardiner told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.

The powerful resurgence of US labour movement
By Laura Fitzgerald
The resurgence of a powerful US labour movement, with a militant-rank-and file its engine, shows no sign of abating in 2019. This is after a historic 2018. in which a total of 485,000 workers went on strike, more than in any year since 1986. 2018 figures contrasted dramatically with 2017, in which only 25,000 went out on strike, lower than any year on record other than 2009, the height of the economic crash.
Teachers' revolt
The workers' movement upsurge began in the "Red State" of West Virginia in February 2018. Sick of their poverty wages and systematic undermining of public education by Republicans and Democrats alike, this revolt of teachers that included wildcat unofficial strike action and which scored a victory, began precisely where union structures and officialdom was weak, allowing a rank-and-file takeover that was the root of its militancy and victories.
Erin Brightwell of this paper's US sister organisation, Socialist Alternative, writes that: "After decades of decline in the power of unions, the teachers and school support workers of West Virginia boldly staged a statewide, illegal strike, shutting down the entire public K-12 [Pre-School to Secondary Education. Editor.] education system for eight days and winning a wage increase for themselves and all public sector workers as well as defeating various threatened attacks. The educators' rebellion that began in West Virginia then led to eruptions in a number of other states, both "red" and "blue," including Oklahoma, Arizona, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Colorado, Washington State, Oregon, and California. It has also had an impact on how workers in other industries view going on strike."
With 35,000 Chicago public schools teachers and staff set to strike from 17 October 2019, a new battle line for the teachers' revolt will open up.
From McDonald's to General Motors
The revitalising of the US trade union movement has spread to hospitality, from the #MeToo inspired McDonald's strikes, to a strike of hotel workers at the Marriott hotel chain, involving nearly 8,000 workers; to retail, for example the Stop and Shop strike in New England earlier this year involving 31,000 shop workers; to tech, including the first moves towards Google workers unionising; and now to heavy industry, with 50,000 auto workers in the United Auto Workers (UAW) on strike against General Motors (GM) in a seminal and strategic dispute that at the time of writing has involved an all-out stoppage for three weeks solid.
Steve Edwards of Socialist Alternative writes about the UAW strike's significance:
"When the GM contract came up in 1982 the UAW leadership had already accepted the logic of concessions to preserve corporate viability, and therefore (so they believed) their members' jobs. That contract saw the first acceptance of a lower pay scale for new hires.
"This strategy has never worked. The record shows that since that moment, GM has gone from 440,000 unionized employees in the U.S. to the present figure of just under 50,000. In 2018 GM reported $10.8 billion in U.S. profits but announced the shutting down of five North American plants."
Growing radicalisation
Decades of attacks on workers' wages and conditions, the ravages of privatised healthcare, and a major drive to further privatise education are the unbearable conditions pushing US workers into action. The radicalisation present in US society in the decade since the Great Recession has been represented in bursts of social movements, from the 1% vs the 99% of Occupy, to #BLM and anti-Trump women's movement.
It was especially seen in the class demands evident in Bernie Sanders' previous Democratic primary challenge, that called for a political revolution against the billionaire class. This campaign mobilised and inspired millions of workers and youth, including a huge popularising of socialist ideas, acting as a forerunner of labour's upsurge, as it's fuelled by a backbone of a new generation of politicised worker-activists.
A powerful working class
It's worth noting that included in strike figures for 2018 and 2019 are battles that specifically target racism and sexism in a whole range of disputes, including action by furniture workers demonstrating against the barbaric treatment of refugees by the state.
The multi-racial and all-gendered working-class of the US has emerged as a powerful arbiter of solidarity and progress in the teeth of reaction under Trump, and its continued industrial and political organisation is vital for the working class and oppressed everywhere. Its force organised around the ideas of socialism can end the rule of capitalism in the "belly of the beast".

Tennessee Patrolmen Help Starving Elderly Man by Giving Him a Month of Groceries
He had been robbed by a caretaker.
Last Saturday night, a 79-year-old disabled man in Mount Pleasant, Tennessee, was in dire straits. He hadn't eaten in two days because his caretaker had stolen his debit card. Living on a fixed income and with no family in the area, he had nowhere to turn, so he called 911. Shortly afterward, four patrolmen from the Mount Pleasant Police Department showed up with $160 worth of groceries, enough to feed him for an entire month. Patrolmen Brian Gray, Adam Runions, Nathan Bolton, Mark Billions, and Buddy Odom paid for the groceries out of their own pockets. "I think he was shocked at the amount of food that we bought and just the fact that it was there without question," Bolton said.
For the officers, it was all just part of the job. "It's difficult for us to see as police officers," said Billions. "We're out here to take care of the public at large and that doesn't always mean stopping a car. Sometimes it's us doing little things like this." To help other citizens in similar need, the police department has opened a food pantry, and donations are accepted at the local station.
Tammy Brooks, 36, the elderly man's caretaker, was arrested the next night after a surveillance camera caught her using his debit card. She was charged with theft and fraudulent use of a debit card and was booked in the Maury County Jail.

Revisiting "The Gospel Sound" 40 Years Later
by Noah Berlatsky
When Beyoncé sang "Precious Lord" at the Grammy's this year, numerous commenters declared that she had taken the awards show to Church. On my Twitter feed at least, those commenters were met with thorough skepticism. "I have been to church," my Twitter feed said, "and Beyoncé at the Grammy's is not it."
The skepticism reminded me of Anthony Heilbut's great book, The Gospel Sound: Good News and Bad Times. First published in 1971; the paperback edition, with addendums, is 40 this year. Heilbut, a Jewish atheist, is a passionate advocate of the classic gospel sound, and a keen critic of the way it gets watered down for and by pop. He'd no doubt see Beyoncé as falling prey to the "gospel-gargle" — "the overly busy, annoyingly mannered style" that was common in gospel even in the 70s. "The excessive virtuosity defeats its own purposes," Heilbut says, "whether of expressing spirit or asserting self."
In contrast, Heilbut champions the older singers: Mahalia Jackson, of course, but also performers less familiar to the mainstream, like Sallie Martin, Dorothy Love Coates, R.H. Harris, Julius Cheeks, and Heilbut's dear friend, Marion Williams. The Gospel Sound is about their artistry and how that artistry has been forgotten even as its created vast swaths of the pop landscape.
Many critics of Beyoncé's Grammy performance argued that the mega-star had essentially stolen or usurped the performance of Ledisi, a less well-known soul singer who performed "Precious Lord" for the film Selma. That story — of gospel's innovations being taken into the spotlight, while the original performers languish — is repeated theme throughout The Gospel Sound. "The white man robbed me all my life," Heilbut quotes Dorothy Love Coates as saying, "and now the black man's doing it. They all treat us like dogs and puppies, like we didn't have no sense."
R.H. Harris is almost forgotten today, but Heilbut argues that his falsetto trills, which Harris picked up by imitating birdsongs in his native Texas, "traveled from gospel to soul to the Beatles," — showering money and mass popularity on everyone but Harris himself. Ira Tucker of the longtime quartet the Dixie Hummingbirds "anticipated all the frenetic workings of souls music;" Heilbut argues, and Tucker himself adds, "Shoot, what James Brown does, I've been doing." Marion Williams gave Little Richard his "oooooo!"; Rosetta Tharpe taught Chuck Berry how to play guitar. Mahalia Jackson and the church taught Elvis to dance —originally, Heilbut recounts, "Some churches exiled [Mahalia] for her rocking beat, others for her "snake-hips."
Jackson did of course enjoy great success. But she was only able to do so, Heilbut says, by abandoning her snake-hips for a less raucous performing style, and by sprinkling her real gospel songs with numbers from what Heilbut calls the "inspirational dung heap" like "Rusty Old Halo." To take gospel to pop is to lose gospel; Beyoncé can't take the Grammys to church without losing the church. For Heilbut, gospel is "simply the only music sung by people in terrible conditions about those conditions, in an attempt to get out of them." In comparison, "rock and soul are for the children. Gospel, like blues and jazz, is the music of grown-ups." Gospel is the real thing; the spirit inspiring American music — though that spirit is often abandoned, and its proponents and singers forgotten.
For Heilbut in The Gospel Sound, then, that gospel sound is authentic, pure, and simultaneously treasured, threatened, and disdained by the secular world. His book, though, also has a quiet counter-narrative, one perhaps less inimical to Beyoncé and what she was trying to do at the Grammys. Because, while Heilbut presents gospel as an origin, he also sees it as part of American music more generally.
Classic gospel didn't spring out of nothing; on the contrary, its creators were very familiar with other contemporary styles, especially jazz and blues. Thomas Dorsey, the composer who wrote "Precious Lord," started his career as Georgia Tom, a pianist who performed often off-color blues with Ma Rainey and others. Later, Dorsey occasionally preferred white country renditions of his songs to those of gospel performers. For their part, great gospel singers like Mahalia and Willie Mae Ford Smith were familiar with, and inspired by, great blues singers like Bessie Smith. Heilbut notes that Ira Tucker's performances with the Dixie Hummingbirds often echoed jazz variations; Tucker himself says that B.B. King personally introduced him to the recordings of Django Reinhardt. R. H. Harris may claim that birdsong was his primary inspiration, but he also listened to Texas blues and hillbilly music. Sister Rosetta Tharpe recorded a rousing hillbilly boogie with country singer Red Foley — rockabilly before Elvis.
Heilbut is not entirely on board with some of the latter examples of musical cross-pollination — he sees the Staple Singers' mix of blues guitar, quartet harmonies, and pop as "an appealing novelty, if not the stuff of gospel legends," and seems a little regretful when talking about how the new (circa 1970) choirs "sing Motown tunes and Thelonius Monk chords." But like it or not, there's no getting around the fact that gospel and the wider world of music have never been mutually exclusive. Someone out there — James Brown, the Beatles, Duke Ellington, Johnny Cash (performing a Dorothy Love Coates tune) — is always taking pop to church. And, for its part, the church is always listening to jazz, blues, soul, and even rock for new ideas and new ways to worship. The Grammys certainly wasn't the first time that Beyoncé went to gospel for material.
Heilbut's goal in The Gospel Sound is to shine a light on a group of immensely talented singers and performers who are often erased from music history — to try to return gospel to its rightful place at the center of the story of American music. In doing that, he honors the music's accomplishments, its uniqueness, and its difference, whether Sallie Martin's quick jerk in performance as the spirit moves her or Marion Williams' amazing run from deep voiced bass up to falsetto "ooooooh!" But returning gospel to American music also means revealing what's not different about it — showing how it fits within a musical landscape where jazz and blues and soul, and country and pop and rock too, blur into each other at the edges, influencing each other and being influenced by each other. Beyoncé's Grammy's performance had a Vegas showbiz feel to it, it's true — but, as Heilbut chronicles, Clara Ward and the Ward Singers were tearing up Vegas in sequins before Beyoncé was born. On television, at Vegas, at the Grammys, and in church too — the gospel sound is everywhere.

Going Beyond Cultural Boundaries and Traditional Experiences
Ben Shacham shared the different phases of travel in the pandemic and specifically what the team at Culture Trip.
Culture Trip is a fast-growing global brand working in the travel space. They create inspiring content in the travel media space but also work as an OTA, providing unique and authentic experiences. Their difference is going deeper to find what it is that makes culture and travel unique and authentic - targeting 'culturally curious' travellers from around the world with a breadth of awards from marketing, content, product and business.
Ben Shacham shared the different phases of travel in the pandemic and specifically what the team at Culture Trip have been seeing in their dataset and how they are responding to the impact of the pandemic.
So jumping forward to insights. Why is content valuable? The content and readership are incredibly diverse spanning all countries in the world, even down to Vatican City. This wide-ranging set of audiences helps match with deeply categorised pieces of content, more than 80,000 in total. This content is categorised at a top-level into four types: inspiration, orientation, planning and booking. This effectively replicates the visitor journey through content and helps understand and place content according to 'triggering' interest with wanderlust content through to supporting booking with practical content.
All of the datasets owned by Culture Trip allow them to monitor the full impact of the pandemic, through every stage of the pandemic, from the initial shockwave of the pandemic through to the 'new normal' phase we are entering now. What has the team at Culture Trip learned through this unprecedented year and what actions did they take? This is an overview of the Culture Trip Playbook, but also how these actions came about from a personal perspective too.
So looking at January to November you see four lines corresponding to each of the categorisations of content. Back in January and February, life was pretty normal. The idea of crowded stadiums today seems just so strange, like life from another era, but this was normal and travelling to experience the world was also normal not so long ago. It's easy to forget this, as we get buried in the challenges faced today.
A typical January for Culture Trip meant high levels of traffic, a strong desire from users to get away and really high levels of intent showing across all planning content, softening towards the end of January as people book their trips. From a personal perspective, Ben explains that his last trip was to York but he wishes his 'last trip' would've been somewhere more adventurous such as New York, had he foreseen the global shutdown.
As Ben and his team saw the virus spreading, in Iran and in Ski Resorts, followed by local lockdowns in Italy with people singing from their windows etc. It started to become apparent that this was a bigger problem than first imagined. At first, bookings held up but as people started to monitor the situation, there was more avoidance than cancellation happening amongst travellers. When large events such as ITB Berlin and the Olympics were cancelled, the shock waves were far greater.
Culture Trip responded to this by creating an insights hub to respond to this quicker than news organisations and widely available data in the media. What became apparent is that if you have data and insights, you should share this with your customers. Sharing that knowledge is hugely meaningful and creates transparency and trust with your customers.
When lockdown hit, panic struck. Shelves were cleared, ships were quarantined in harbours, local lockdowns started to take place in March, followed by national lockdowns later in March. A warlike mentality spread with people clapping heroes of the hour - not soldiers but healthcare workers - and whilst all this happened, everyone was stuck at home.
One observation at this period is how obsessed people had become with the numbers. Ben points to the fact that World Monitor went from 5 million monthly unique visitors to more than 1 billion unique visitors. That's an incredible uptake in monitoring data on a mass consumer level simply unimaginable before. So what have Culture Trip seen when it comes to their data? Planning content consumption plummeted to 25% and booking content fell off the cliff. Hotels declined fastest, followed by home-stays and surprisingly hostels declined last. Orientation content declined slower than the rest, one can imagine because it has broader interest even during the lockdown.
Ben explains that the launch date for their new experience product was 23rd March, possibly the worst time imaginable to launch such a product. They saw however that inspiration content had actually increased, while the planning content had decreased. What was interesting here is that the world seemed to become more interested, not less, more curious to learn, read and discover places around the world - reinforcing our marvel to discover new cultures.
This led Culture Trip to launch a new initiative together with partners to explore the world, creative colouring challenges for families and a full set of discovery content in a content hub, fully curated and custom illustrated. They saw a huge interest in cooking and cuisine, which led them to launch online zoom classes teaching users how to create a local dish, with hundreds of bookings with incredible feedback and as lockdowns have lifted, this has continued to be a way to engage people.
Ben talks about his own experience of taking part in a home cooking class in Jerusalem and the incredible experience of discovering remotely the food and cooking experience together with his family from around the world. He describes this as one of the best things during the lockdown period and a lasting memory.
As people slowly started emerging from lockdown, the data showed some really interesting things. There was a clear gradual return through June, July and August of people's intent to travel shown through the consumption of booking data. Travel planning and intent were returning.
Digging deeper, we can see the same chart of travel intent, we can see however that the difference between interest in international travel and domestic travel really started to show a skew towards a rise in planning intent-driven almost exclusively by domestic interest. There was a huge surge in interest in what is classified as 'outdoors' content, way above pre-pandemic consumption, which makes a lot of sense given what we know about virus transmission, but the data showed this very clearly. So how did they react to this?
The first thing was to launch a series of outdoor content hubs for different destinations and markets according to their locations. They also designed, developed and delivered a road trip planning piece allowing people to enter their location and see what they might discover in 1, 3 and 5 hours by car. This really helped them to be relevant to domestic travellers and their needs at that moment.
They responded further to the change in demand, from showing which destinations can be taken advantage of with travel corridors and more detailed content on things like glamping, which were also showing increased interest.
So what about 'the new normal'? Well, the truth is, there's not much evidence showing that we are there yet. The further lockdowns imposed show that we are going back to how things were before, with similarities in what the data is showing us. The only reference point we can really look to is how people responded in the easing of the first lockdown, aside from that, there isn't really a reference point.
Aside from that, we can only look to China, to learn what happened there and the fact that they have returned largely to normal gives us much hope. Can we replicate that success? That's not easy to call right now with vastly different responses from governments.
Can we make predictions as to what might happen in the future? It's challenging, but we can try. If we consider the vaccine or even the fact that there will be many vacancies gives hope. However, this might not be a silver bullet - the path out of this nightmare will be gradual, not immediate.
Some trends will certainly stick. The need for outdoors will continue to be strong, as the pandemic won't just disappear and people's interest in this product is likely to remain for many reasons. A demand for 'micro-scapes' will continue, as people seek to get away when they find the opportunity to do so. Flexibility will remain key to succeeding, as this is key to restoring confidence.
The fact is that there is too much demand pent up which tells us that there is going to be a surge and return where destinations manage the pandemic well. We have to consider so many other factors however, what about the economic downturn and what impact that will have on travel when we consider consumer spending. What about the way in which we live and work, the shift to remote working, the collapse of business travel and the influence of government stimulus. These are all things we need to consider.
Ben ends with a ray of optimism, his hopes and wishes.
"Let's hope for a swing back along with a movement to appreciate and understand other cultures that we've been missing. Let's hope for a reinvigoration and a value for community and parts of society we took for granted, such as culture and arts. Let's hope that we see a huge support and preparedness of our healthcare response."
One thing we know - travel always bounces back. This is our challenge, an exciting challenge to react to and enlighten new consumers to travel the world.
1. If you have data and insights, you should share them with your customers. This means creating transparency and trust with your customers.
2. People have become obsessed with the numbers.There has been an incredible uptake in monitoring data on a mass-consumer level.
3. People have become more interested, curious to learn, read and discover places around the world and new cultures.
4. The interest in everything related to 'outdoors' is expected to remain.
5. A demand for 'micro-scapes' will continue, as people seek to get away when they find the opportunity to do so.
6. Flexibility will remain key to succeeding, as this is key to restoring confidence.
7. A surge in demand in returning to travel is expected for destination who managed and are managing the pandemic well.

New York Opera Festival 2019: Divaria Productions Showcases 'La Voix Humaine'
By David Salazar
The New York Opera Fest 2019 kicked off on Monday, April 29 and for the next several weeks, New Yorkers will get ample opportunity to enjoy opera in a variety of unique ways. As has been OperaWire's tradition over the years, we have reached out to a number of the companies participating in the festival and have asked them a series of questions that will allow our readers to get to know them a bit.
Divaria Productions is a unique opera company in New York that puts on a number of the great works of the standard repertory. Since its inception in 2011, the company has engaged with "Don Giovanni," "Così Fan Tutte," "Don Pasquale," "La Traviata," and "L'Elisir d'Amore."
Now it will revive a production "La Voix Humaine" at Baza Studios in New York. The work will be presented in a Spanish production on June 25 and 27. The production's stage director Antón Armendariz Diaz answered OperaWire's questions for this piece.
Tell us why you're excited to participate in this year's New York Opera Festival.
Working in NYC is a dream for any European artist. , and being able to be part of New York Opera Festival is an incredible honor since it is in this city where the best performing arts of the world are presented.
What themes and/or issues are addressed in your production, and how are they relevant to your company and its mission?
One of our missions is "to create one of a kind quality experiences in intimate settings that make opera easy to digest for a modern audience". To this end, we will be performing this opera in a site-specific space. The audience will be in the character Elle's apartment and be able to observe her suffering firsthand. We also hope, in line with part of our mission, "to make opera approachable and accessible" by having cheaper ticket prices and by blending opera with theatre so that those with no exposure to it will be be interested in attending.
What is something special or unique about your production that NYC audiences can look forward to?
The originality of this production is the presentation of the female character, the merging of the opera and the theatrical work, which gives us the possibility of playing with different points of view, even when we are dealing with the same character, the same text and the same situation. We have opened up a window of possibilities for interpretation. The questions that remains is: Is she him? Is he her? No. Both are the same person, whether male or female: they are just living emotions.
What role do you think "indie opera" plays in a city like NYC and for the future of the art form as a whole?
I believe that art must be independent, it is the only way to be able to speak freely, and to be critical, in spite of the great economic problems (from the Spanish point of view) this implies". From the company: I think "indie opera" is incredibly important for both NYC and for the future of opera as a whole. Indie opera helps expose opera to those who wouldn't otherwise have access to it, oftentimes by offering cheaper and more affordable ticket prices and intimate venues. Furthermore, in a era when many companies are sadly failing because of the economy and decreased government support, indie opera is a bright light and hope for our future, enabling opera to be produced by focusing on the quality of the performers and the concept, even when large budgets for performance spaces, costumes, production are not available.
Prior to creating OperaWire, DAVID SALAZAR, (Editor-in-Chief) worked as a reporter for Latin Post where he interviewed major opera stars including Placido Domingo, Anna Netrebko, Vittorio Grigolo, Diana Damrau and Rolando Villazon among others. His 2014 interview with opera star Kristine Opolais was cited in a New York Times Review.
He also had the opportunity of interviewing numerous Oscar nominees, Golden Globe winners and film industry giants such as Guillermo del Toro, Oscar Isaac and John Leguizamo among others.
David holds a Masters in Media Management from Fordham University. During his time at Fordham, he studied abroad at the Jagiellonian University in Poland. He also holds a dual bachelor's from Hofstra University in Film Production and Journalism.

You can quickly assess the status of available updates on all agent computers and manage порнозаставка process of installing required updates for servers. You can enable Update Management for virtual machines directly from your Azure Порнозаставка account.
To learn how to enable Update Management for virtual machines from your Automation account, see Manage updates порнозаставка multiple virtual machines.
You can also enable Update Management for a single virtual machine from the virtual machine pane in the Azure portal. This scenario is available for Linux and Windows virtual machines. Computers that are managed порнозаставка Update Порнозаставка use the following configurations to perform assessment and update deployments:. The following diagram shows a conceptual view of the behavior and data flow with how the solution порнозаставка and applies security updates to all connected Windows Порнозаставка and Linux порнозаставка in a workspace:.
After a computer performs a scan for update compliance, the agent forwards the information in bulk to Azure Log Порнозаставка. On a Windows computer, the compliance scan is performed every 12 hours by default. In addition to the scan schedule, the scan for порнозаставка compliance is initiated within 15 minutes if the MMA is restarted, before update installation, and after update installation. For a Linux computer, the compliance scan is performed every 3 hours by default.
If the MMA agent is restarted, a compliance scan is initiated within 15 minutes. Порнозаставка is порнозаставка same for Linux computers that are configured to report to a local repo instead порнозаставка to a public repo.
To learn more порнозаставка these requirements, see Network planning for Hybrid Workers. You can deploy and install software updates on computers that require the updates by creating a scheduled deployment.
The master runbook starts a child runbook on each agent to perform installation of required порнозаставка. At the date and time specified in the update deployment, the target computers execute the deployment in parallel.
For Linux, the machine must have access to an update repository. The update repository can be private or public. To create and manage update deployments, you need specific permissions. To learn about these permissions, see Role-based access порнозаставка Update Management. The solution consists of the following resources. The resources are added to your Порнозаставка account.

To run a log search that returns information about the machine, update, or deployment, select the item in the list. The Log Search pane opens with a query for the item порнозаставка. After updates are assessed for all the Linux and Windows computers in your workspace, you can install required updates by creating an update deployment.
An update deployment is a scheduled installation of required порнозаставка for one or more computers. You specify the date and time for the deployment and a computer or group of computers to include in the scope of a deployment.
To learn more about computer groups, see Computer groups in Log Analytics. When you include computer groups порнозаставка your порнозаставка deployment, group membership is evaluated only once, at the time of schedule creation. To work around this, delete the порнозаставка update deployment and re-create it.
Windows virtual machines that are порнозаставка from the Azure Marketplace by default are set to receive automatic updates from Windows Update Service.

Good Girl Gone Redneck: Sssh. I'm not really here.
Sssh. I'm not really here.
I mean - I guess I'm posting this, so I'm not exactly skipping, but I'm mostly skipping.
Because I think I need to get on track with writing tomorrow morning FOR tomorrow and that this will help me.
And crap. I just realized I need to write a post tomorrow for Saturday, too, because I'll be out. ALL DAY. LONG.
So tonight I send you to a few of my old posts so you can get to know me better.
Just in case you don't know me well enough by now.
#1. Totally TMI. In a VIDEO.
Watch it. Don't. I'll get it either way. But in case you want to, I don't always sound that way. Or maybe I do. I donno.
Quite possibly one of my favorite posts of all-time. Yeah. I said it.
As are you. Let's both not forget it.
#4. Parenting is hard, yo.
All about me. Well, maybe not all. But a lot.
This was fun. I might have to try a post like this again. Could you do it?
This is the kind of post I go back and read every now and again. And I refer to frequently. It might be the post on my site with the most comments, honestly. Check it out. I'm guessing you can relate. Or could at some point. In life. In blogging. Whenever. Whatever.
Now - before I go all Shakira on you guys - I'll wrap up just before midnight.
Dang it, though, my non-post turned into a post. Sigh. Again.
You are so talented, I like 'Parenting is so hard'. I would love to be able to write like you do.
You are adorable! I love this post!
Your witty joyful voice comes through your writing. How could we not know you and love you!
I think your on-post post is awesome. And I loved That Girl.
