The Coronavirus Pandemic of Mainstream Country Music: December 12, 2022

Overall Thoughts: You could tell which promotional teams decided to take an early holiday and which teams didn't this week. For an end-of-year, holiday-dominated week, there were a surprising amount of big moves made, bookended by Bryan's six-spot leap to #1 and Zimmerman's leap to #40 from below the chart cutoff. There were a lot of three- and four-spot jumps in between, which I'm not sure how to interpret: Do these labels have more confidence in these songs (for example, Zimmerman is red-hot right now and Elektra/Warner wants to ride the wave) or less confidence in them (which I think is where Bryan's big push comes from—they just want to take advantage of a slow week, grab the #1 participation trophy and move on)? We won't really know until January arrives and the competition picks up again, but it's an interesting development from what I thought would be a slow week. (I don't expect it continue next week, but I suppose I didn't expect it this week either, so who knows?)
On the coronavirus front, the bad news continues to roll in: New cases averages are back up to over 60,000 a day, and daily death averages are climbing as well. Hospitalizations are up too, especially among the most-vulnerable populations: "older people and those with existing health problems." Flu hospitalizations are going up too, remaining "at the highest level for this time of year in a decade," and even though RSV cases appear to be declining, hospital beds are at about 80% capacity nationwide, straining a system that was already reeling from the last few years and wasn't in great shape to begin with. With these kinds of viruses circulating and this kind of demand on our healthcare system, it's a really bad time to get sick, which means it's a really good time to revisit our best practices of the last two-plus years if you haven't done so already:
Wear a high-quality mask and maintain proper social distance from others when in public. A high-quality mask that fits well can still provide solid protection, even if you're the only one wearing one.
If you haven't gotten your flu shot yet, get it as soon as possible. If you're not vaccinated against COVID-19 yet, get your shots at the earliest opportunity, get your booster shot once you become eligible, and schedule your appointment to get the omicron-specific booster as soon as possible. Experts remain optimistic that the latest shots will still offer some protection against omicron's BQ variants. (There's no available vaccine for RSV yet.)
Hand-washing and surface disinfecting turned out to be less than effective at preventing COVID-19 transmission, but they're still very effective against RSV and the flu, so be sure to follow proper handwashing guidelines to help keep you from getting sick.
With the holiday season on our doorstep, a lot of vulnerable people are going to be put at high risk of getting sick, being hospitalized, or dying. With the current tools at our disposal, the power to minimize this needless suffering and death is in our hands, and we shouldn't hesitate to use it to keep our loved ones safe.

Overall Thoughts: Did I say last week was strange? Because this one was even stranger. Not only did we have no major debuts, but we had some massive spins losses for Dean (and a fair few from Rhett/Green), meaning that there were a lot of spins released into the wild…and yet from roughly #21 on down, many tracks on the chart struggled to find traction and put up numbers ranging from mediocre to awful. (Those above #21 generally had pretty good weeks, setting up what might be the biggest week of spin inequity I've ever seen.) What happened? I think it's a confluence of two events:
The growing share of the airwaves being dedicated to holiday tracks, and…
Several strong recurrent tracks continue to suck the oxygen out of the room ("She Had Me At Heads Carolina," "You Proof").
In other words, there's a lot of demand for a limited supply of playlist space, and if you weren't already in high or heavy rotation, you're going to find it hard to make progress for the rest of the year. I expect this malaise to continue spreading until we get past the holidays and into 2023.
On the coronavirus front, in perhaps the most unsurprising development of the year, the Thanksgiving holiday has set off a notable increase in coronavirus cases, with a nearly 30% increase in case over the last two weeks and a 27% spike in hospitalizations in the last week. Deaths have not risen yet (in fact, they're down over 10% in the last two weeks), but they usually lag a little bit behind cases and hospitalizations, and with hospitals already stressed by the current "tripledemic" (RSV appears to be waning a little bit, but the flu unfortunately seems to be gaining strength), it wouldn't take much of a rise in COVID-19 levels to move those death numbers back in the wrong direction. I know I say this every week, but I'll say it again anyway: We need to take all possible precautions against these diseases to reduce the strain on our health care system and limit the amount of pain suffered by the people around us, which means:
This is the season where we focus on family the most, and if you want to keep the people you care about safe, you'll need to take these viruses seriously and mitigate the risk of infection in any way you can. By following these best practices, you'll be making a real difference in the quest to protect yourself, your loved ones, and you community.

Overall Thoughts: This is a bit of a strange week, as spins ended up being fairly tight despite no major debuts, two significant losses from exiting songs, and only two songs gaining over 600 spins. True, Dean's 1600+ spin push to take #1 is the biggest summit push we've seen in a while, but I'm wondering if there were some other factors at play: Did stations change their playlists for the Thanksgiving holiday, or are some starting to work in their holiday songs now that the turkey has been consumed? While there are still a few songs set to debut this year, I expect things to remain pretty chill around here for the rest of year, and the holidays ramp up and labels prepare for their 2023 rollouts.
On the coronavirus front, the data is a little spotty due to the holiday, but the trend appears to be more of the same, with national new case numbers staying flat (that double-digit % spike in deaths is concerning though). The buzzword right now, however, is…well, we're still deciding between "tridemic" and "tripledemic": COVID-19 has yet to surge as we've expected, but our flu numbers are spiking right now, and RSV is still causing trouble even as its nationwide numbers begin to drop. The results are not encouraging: It's not even December yet, and already over three-quarters of our inpatient and ICU beds are in use, with a shortage of pediatric beds also causing trouble ("Five states are at 90% capacity or higher. Currently the most overwhelmed state is Maine, at 109% capacity…"). If things are this bad without a major COVID-19 surge, we're really going to be in trouble when those case numbers start climbing again (don't forget, we've got two new variants taking over that are even more transmissible than their predecessors…), which means that we need to be extra-vigilant about doing what we can to limit the spread of all these viruses:
It's looking like we've got a rough winter in the cards this season, and although people would really like to pretend that all this pandemic stuff is behind them, a) it's not, and b) it's no longer the only respiratory virus in town looking to wreak havoc. With the holiday season on the horizon, we need to do everything we can to limit the threat of these pathogens and keep the people we care about safe.

Overall Thoughts: Okay, now we're really starting to see some action. After three losses last week, we lost four more this time around, with two more set to depart within the next week or so. With no major debuts, spins were fairly plentiful this week, with a ton of growth concentrated in the teens (seven out of ten songs from #11 to #20 put up 1000+ gains!) and the usual suspects (Combs, Wallen) putting up 2000+ point scores (Allen's 2000+ points were a bit more surprising). We've still got a few notable debuts coming up before the end of the year, but for the most part I think the turnover is finally over…at least until 2023. Look for things to settle down as the holiday season begins and the holiday music starts invading the playlists.
On the coronavirus front, national new case and death numbers are slightly up this week, and while the virus isn't surging just yet, the combination of COVID-19, RSV, and the flu is already pushing the healthcare system to the brink once again, especially our pediatric units. It's gotten to the point where people are urging the Biden administration to make a emergency declaration to help address the issue, which means that when we do see a significant rise in coronavirus cases (I still say it's a matter of when, not if), we're going to be back in a really bad spot. With Thanksgiving on our doorstep, we need to do everything we can to protect our loved ones and reduce the strain on our health care workers, which means:
It was about this time last year when things started to go off the rails and the original omicron surge started, so we need to be extra careful this time around, especially with several respiratory viruses going around. We all need to take the necessary precautions and continue to follow our best practices to combat these threats and protect the people we care about.

Mitchell Tenpenny, "We Got History"
Overall Thoughts: Okay, now we're starting to see some action. All three of the songs I called out two weeks ago (Lynch, Brice, Ballerini) appear to be officially on their way out (along with Dickerson/Scott, which I didn't expect to implode), and with a one-week limit seemingly be re-imposed on the top spot and several big names making big splashes back into the Top 50, we're going to see some serious turnover between now and the end of the year. The problem is that with said big names jumping back into the action so quickly (Combs, Shelton,and Wallen, plus whatever Cole Swindell decides to follow up "She Had Me At Heads Carolina" with), it doesn't feel like a great time to be bringing a new artist to the radio (or even an existing artist with minimal star power). All of the spins released by Wallen, Andress/Hunt, Dickerson/Scott, and Ballerini were immediately grabbed by the big debuts, leaving artists on the bottom half of the charts scrambling a little to pad their totals for this week.
So who else do I think is on the chopping block in the short term? I'd say the ZBB and Chris Stapleton are in a bit of trouble right now (those tracks have been a lot weaker than their competition lately), and honestly I'm a little worried about Jelly Roll at #8 (his climb has slowed significantly over the last few months). I also think time's running out on Young (that song was released a year ago and hasn't even made the Top 15 yet?!), and that Chesney/Old Dominion collab has looked surprisingly shaky ever since it arrived (and Old Dominion has exactly zero radio momentum right now).
As for the songs that are filling in the gaps right now…let's just say I'm going to have a lot to say about that Gilbert/Shelton track soon, and none of it will be good. Swapping that in for Milligan was a bad deal in every sense of the word, but I think Milligan's track will be back soon, and I'll have much kinder words for it than I will for "Heaven By Then."
On the coronavirus front, national new case numbers continue to stay relatively flat, while daily deaths seems to have dropped significantly over the last two weeks. However, new omicron subvariants (BQ.1 and BQ1.1) have bypassed BA.5 to become the dominant variations in the country, and it was right about this time last year when folks came together for Thanksgiving and the first omicron wave starting taking off, so we aren't out of the woods by any means. Even worse, other respiratory viruses are wreaking havoc right now: New case, hospitalization, and death numbers for the flu have doubled for the second week in a row, and flu hospitalizations have reached their highest levels since 2010 (and it's still wayyyy early in the season, long before the flu usually starts to take hold). RSV hospitalizations for children were already raising alarms, and now it's hitting the elderly hard as well. Basically, this is going to be a rotten winter even if we don't get a coronavirus surge (and betting against such a surge is a risky wager). However, our best practices can help against all three of these viruses:
We haven't seen an official coronavirus surge yet, but there's enough stuff going around already to make this a perilous time. It remains vitally important that we continue to take steps to keep our communities safe and reduce the threat of these respiratory infections.

Brett Eldredge, "Songs About You" (recurrent)
Dustin Lynch, "Party Mode" (down from #15 to #17, bullet-less for a second consecutive week. It's trying to staunch the bleeding on the daily charts, but this one is on life support)

Kenny Chesney & Old Dominion, "Beer With My Friends" (down from #34 to #35, lost its bullet)
Eric Church, "Doing Life With Me" (down from #41 to #42, lost its bullet)
Parmalee, "Girl In Mine" (down from #42 to #44, gained only eleven spins and forty-three points)
Keith Urban, "Brown Eyes Baby" (up from #30 to #29, but gained only fourteen spins and lost points)

Dylan Scott, "Can't Have Mine" (holds at #49, but gained only twenty-eight spins and forty points)
Morgan Wallen, "Thought You Should Know"
Carrie Underwood, "Hate My Heart"
Overall Thoughts: Wow, this might be my best prediction yet: I called out Lynch, Brice, and Ballerini for taking up space on the charts, and all three took notable losses during a week that wasn't super tight on spins. Ballerini is done, and while it looks like the other two are kinda-sorta recovering on the daily charts, I don't think either one lasts much longer.
Wallen essentially replaced himself this week with "Thought You Should Know" reaching #54, and Ballerini's losses countered most of Combs's gains, so for the most part there were spins to go around (yet we still had six songs lose their bullets, not including Wallen and Ballerini). With only an Eldredge-for-Milligan trade this week, I expect to see a bit more chaos on the charts before the holiday slowdown, and honestly, I think we could use it.
On the coronavirus front, NPR didn't update its coronavirus page this week, so I had to draw information from the New York Times's site, and the picture in paints is…well, complicated. National numbers appear to be relatively flat (slight increase in new daily cases and hospitalizations, 14% drop in daily deaths), but there's some serious variations in state-by-state numbers, with some states seeing cases increase over 50% over the the last two weeks (mainly in the South and West) while others seeing cases decrease over 20% (mainly in the Northeast and Northwest). I'm not sure exactly what defines a COVID-19 'wave,' but we're certainly seeing some concerning trends in parts of the country, and given how quickly this virus can spread, I don't think I'd feel too safe anywhere right now. You can, however, increase your level of safety by using our oft-repeated best practices:
If you're not vaccinated yet, get your shots at the earliest opportunity, get your booster shot once you become eligible, and schedule your appointment to get the omicron-specific booster as soon as possible. Experts remain optimistic that the latest shots will still offer some protection against omicron's BQ variants. (And hey, get your flu shot while you're at it!)
So is a wave coming? Is it already here? Regardless, there's never a bad time to start taking steps to protect yourself and the people you care about, and you sooner you start, the better prepared you'll be when the you-know-what hits the fan.

Ashley Cooke & Brett Young, "Never 'Til Now" (5/10)*
Drake Milligan, "Sounds Like Something I'd Do"
Overall Thoughts: The phrase I would use to describe this week is "reluctant turnover." Wallen caught a tough break when Chastain rode the Martinsville wall to claim this week's top spot…yet the bit turned into a sad statement when Chastain just replaced Swindell and meant that almost no one in the top 30 needed their chart number updated. The top of the charts feel like they're locked in cement right now, and much of the movement below #30 was caused more by departures than by the strength of the tracks that persisted. Wallen's extended stay at the top and Combs's big-but-not-massive debut meant that spins were really hard to come by (I wondered if Taylor Swift's massive album launch stole some spins away as well, but it sounds like that album's being driven by streaming and sales rather than airplay…for now), and a lot of songs found themselves with empty guns and no bullets this week.
We lost four songs this week, but I still think bigger moves are imminent here. Wallen will fade away as Swindell did, and there are a lot of songs that are treading water right now and probably need to cut bait and get out of the water (there's a surprisingly number of these tracks concentrated in the teens, with Lynch, Brice, and now Ballerini seemingly just taking up space). There's going to be some space freed up in the short-term…and I only wish that there was decent stuff available to take its place.
On the coronavirus front, if you haven't started worrying yet, maybe it's time: New cases and deaths leveled off after a slow but steady drop over the last few weeks, and a new omicron subvariant (actually two, BQ.1 and BQ.1.1) is starting to make waves in New York City and California (you know, the kind of high-density, high-travel areas that tend to be bellweathers for stuff like this) and is likely flying under the radar in other areas due to limited reporting. Hospitalizations are only up slightly nationwide, but there are some significant localized increases in some states, so I imagine anyone who isn't seeing their numbers go up yet will see them rise soon. In other words, it's a great time to double down on our battle-tested best practices to keep ourselves safe:
Like it or not, we're in for another challenging winter (especially with the resurgence of the viruses like the flu and RSV), and need to do all we can to minimize the strain and suffering caused by COVID-19. The power is in our hands, but whether or not we use it is up to us.

Elle King ft. Dierks Bentley, "Worth A Shot"
Dylan Scott, "Can't Have Mine"
Jon Pardi, "Your Heart Or Mine"
Overall Thoughts: There are weeks where you're not right at all, and then there are weeks like this one where you're not right enough. I declared that there wouldn't be a shakeup on the charts this week, but I didn't expect the top half of the charts to be frozen in amber while two songs that just won't die (Wallen and Swindell) hold the top two spots. There was more movement in the bottom half of the chart this week, but even with Underwood's departure and the premature exits of Block and Ray, there still seemed to be a significant number of songs struggling to find spins (most of the position gains were due to losses from above). There will definitely be some action next week with several departures scheduled, but I don't think the newer/lesser-known artists currently stuck around #50 will get much of a break: Thanos will return, Pardi will likely break into the top 50, and Moore/Block may find some traction as well. Still, there are a lot of songs on the charts that have overstayed their welcome, so the change may be long and drawn-out, but it is coming.
On the coronavirus front, the overall numbers for new cases and deaths still appear to be improving nationally, but a dive into state-by-state breakdowns indicates that things are a bit of a mixed bag right now. There's also a new fear that the COVID/flu "twindemic" health experts were concerned about might actually end up as a "tripledemic" thanks to "a surge in cases of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)," especially among young children. We remain in a precarious position for the moment, and with the threat of respiratory viruses rising in general, we've got even more reasons to hold fast to our best practices:
If you're not vaccinated yet, get your shots at the earliest opportunity, get your booster shot once you become eligible, and schedule your appointment to get the omicron-specific booster as soon as possible. (And get your flu shot while you're at it!)
We may not be in an official COVID surge yet, but all the signs are pointing in that direction, and we need to do more to prepare ourselves for when it arrives. We really need everyone to do the right thing and take all necessary steps to keeps themselves and the people they care about safe before it's too late.

Luke Combs, "Going, Going, Gone" (set to release next Monday)
Ashley Cooke & Brett Young, "Never 'Til Now"
George Birge, "Mind On You"
Breland, "For What It's Worth"
Overall Thoughts: You know, I keep predicting a moment of mass movement on the charts, and it keeps on not happening. Only Thanos left this week (and we all know he'll be back next week), and despite significant losses from Underwood and Swindell (and a noteable drop from Ray), spins were surprisingly hard to come by (and the struggles were unsurprisingly concentrated in the lower half of the chart). I'm going to flip my prediction and say we're not getting a huge shakeup next week: Swindell probably hangs on for one more week, so only Underwood will depart (unless Ray has reached the end of the road as well), and given Thanos's propensity for procuring pre-release airplay, he probably takes the free slot over the contenders that remain stuck below #50. In two weeks, however…I think the chaos starts swirling.
On the coronavirus front, the national numbers appear to be improving on both the case and death fronts, but the predicted winter surge is getting closer: The Northeast has tended to be the canary in the cola mine when it comes to COVID-19, and a quick scan of the region (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, New York City, etc.) indicates that both cases and hospitalizations are back on the upswing. Like it or not, the coronavirus is still a problem, and given our paltry vaccination rates, we're still putting ourselves and our communities at more risk than we should be. (Don't look now, but there are a few new variants that are getting some attention…) Luckily, the things we have (or should have) been doing all along remain as effective at combating the virus as ever:
At this point, our next major bout with COVID-19 is a matter of when, not if, and we need to do everything we can to mitigate its impact. It remains as important as ever for us all to stay vigilant, make careful decisions, and do everything we can to keep the people we care about safe.

Carrie Underwood, "Ghost Story" (down from #5 to #21)

Sam Hunt, "Water Under The Bridge" (down from #24 to #28, lost its bullet with a 200+ point loss. What happened here?)
Cody Johnson, "Human" (down from #36 to #38, gained only twenty-three spins and twenty-six points)
Walker Hayes, "Y'all Life" (holds at #39, but lost spins and gained only two points)
Keith Urban, "Brown Eyes Baby" (holds at #33, but gained only thirty-five spins and eighty-seven points)
Randy Houser, "Note To Self" (down from #40 to #41, barely keeps its bullet by breaking even on spins and losing points)
Shane Profitt, "How It Oughta Be" (up from #49 to #43)
Luke Combs, "The Kind Of Love We Make" (holds at #3, next single announced for 10/24)
Luke Combs, "Going, Going, Gone"
Overall Thoughts: This was a weird week: There were no recurrents and very little chart movement, but there were enough spins lying around for most tracks in the Top 50 to post decent gains. Underwood's and Combs's heavy losses are the likely culprits here, and with both slated to leave soon (with Swindell's big hit soon to follow), I think next week the dam bursts and we see a fair bit of movement and new arrivals. (There are a few zombie and near-zombie tracks that probably aren't long for this world either, so that should add a bit more chaos to the next few weeks.) I feel like there's been a backlog of tracks that have been knocking on the door of the Top 50 for a while now, so a lightning-round post to cover them all is probably in the cards as well.
On the coronavirus front, for now it's more of the same: New case reports are dropping, deaths remain stubbornly high, and the number of tools at our disposal continue to grow (booster shots have now been approved for children as young as five). However, more people are starting to sound the alarm about a potential winter surge, and with our vaccination rates still lower than they should be (only 68% of Americans are fully vaccinated, and only 33% are boosted), we're still more vulnerable to a surge than we should be. With influenza and other respiratory diseases also posing a threat as well, there are a lot of ways that things could go sideways in the next few months, and if we don't want to get caught in the crossfire, we'll want to stick to our best practices:
We're leaving the door wide open for another brutal round with COVID-19 right now, and we really shouldn't be okay with this. However, we still have the power to change course and do the right thing to keep our communities safe, and right now that should be our primary goal.

In 1949, Rabbi Joseph Buchler of Chicago published a lengthy article on the "struggle for unity" within American Judaism. In his oft-quoted essay, Buchler studied the history of the various rabbinical and congregational alliances from 1654 to 1868 as a semi-evolutionary phenomenon. Scholars of the American Jewish experience have borrowed from this, suggesting that religious movements were created or splintered off from attempts among the religious elites to create better cohesion within American Judaism. For instance, they have used this argument to explain the formation of national and far-reaching nineteenth century organizations like B'nai B'rith (1843), Hebrew Union College (1875) and the Jewish Theological Seminary (1886).
Yet, the attempts to strike compromise and federalize involved more than just rabbinical conferences and national organizations. This panel seeks to understand the impulse to form American Jewish "unions" with greater heft and depth. The papers included below argue that historical actors during the latter-half of the nineteenth century and early twentieth century sought to consolidate efforts to secure more meaningful footholds in the changing American Jewish landscape. From 1850 to 1900, the Jewish population in the United States spiked from 150,000 to one million women and men. Migration from Europe brought new ideas and conceptions of Jewish life. To reinforce existing structures and accommodate new expectations, Jewish leaders searched for agreeable and united efforts in religious spaces and rituals. Unity then, was a means to maintaining order in all areas of religious life.
The four papers in this panel assume an interdisciplinary approach. Each pays close attention to "lived religion" while weighing equally the history of religious folkways, music and liturgy, gender, and comparative history of the Modern Jewish experience. Viewed together, these studies make the case that attempts at cohesion went beyond struggles for religious power and ambitious institutions. Rather, the parameters that these unification initiatives carefully cultivated offered crucial strategies for fortifying New World Judaism amid transformative change.

Qantas to phase out Boeing 747-400s by the end of 2020
Posted by The Flight Detective | May 2, 2018 | Airlines | 0
Australian airline Qantas is planning to phase out its Boeing 747-400 fleet by the end of 2020. The original Boeing 747-200B fleet was introduced in 1971, so this will mark 49 years of service.
Aviation is very important to Australia as the continent is so isolated from everywhere else. The Jumbo Jets as they were originally called will get a fond farewell from all Aussie's.
Qantas Versions
Qantas waited until 1971 to introduce the aircraft as they wanted the more capable Boeing 747-200B, rather than the original Boeing 747-100. Ignoring that, Qantas operated all versions of the aircraft and in fact was the world's only all Boeing 747 airline between 1979 and 1985. They even operated the unusual Boeing 747SP.
Roll out of the Boeing 747 – can you pick out the Qantas crew member?
SP stands for Special Performance and originally it was used for flights to Wellington in New Zealand before being deployed on the mission it was designed for, long range flight. Flying from Sydney to Los Angeles in competition with Pan Am, Qantas usually made the flight non-stop thanks to their Rolls-Royce engines. Pan Am on the other hand often required a technical stop for fuel due to using Pratt and Whitney engines.

Other marks Qantas operated were the Boeing 747-200 Combi featuring cargo on the main desk, the Boeing 747-300 and the Boeing 747-400. The latter opened up one stop service between Sydney and London for the first time. Finally, Qantas is the only airline to order the Boeing 747-400ER. The last one arrived in 2003 making it 17 years old when it is retired in 2020.
Why The Phase Out?
Modern twin engine aircraft such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner are the reason for the phase out. Two engines are more efficient than four, plus materials and technology have advanced quite a lot in the interim.
Can you spot her in the line up further back?
Qantas exercised six more options for the Boeing 787-9 which will be used to replace the last of the Jumbo's. The new aircraft are better for passengers, the environment and importantly the airline's bottom line.
Why I Will Miss The Boeing 747 at Qantas
When I left Australia for Ireland for a one year working holiday (which, twelve years later is still going!) it was a Qantas Boeing 747-400 that took me on my first leg from Sydney to Hong Kong. It was my first time in business class and I was seated on the upper deck which is an experience that almost can't be beat as it is small, intimate and very private jet like.
The Upper Deck on a Qantas 747-400
Turning left when boarding means you are in first class and sitting in the nose. That is unique to the Boeing 747 as rules have changed since then meaning you must have doors at the front and rear of each cabin. You are actually in front of the pilots on a Jumbo which is a very unique experience nowadays.
Time marches on and most airlines plan to phase out the Boeing 747 fleet in passenger service. British Airways plan to keep theirs in service until 2024 so I hope to fly on one before they're gone.
Do you miss the Boeing 747? What about it was best for you? Thank you for reading and if you have any comments or questions, please leave them below.

We've heard from several in our chatbot community that their IDX providers said their website bounces have increased since the chatbot was installed. Actually, this statistic can be misleading.
The chatbot dialog runs under a separate URL than the parent website. When a visitor comes to your website, analytics records a visit. If that visitor starts to engage with the chatbot, they effectively 'leave' the parent website during the time they are conversing with the chatbot. Though this can look like the visitor 'bounced' from the website to another unrelated website, they actually are still viewing your IDX site and have full access at any time.
The most important thing we are looking for is engagement. We want site visitors to become bonafide leads. In our experience, once a visitor engages with the chatbot, they are more apt to provide contact information than if they had encountered a site without either human or chat interaction.

Liverpool or Manchester United?
By Abbu Umair
See all Articles by Wajahat AliGet Updates on Career TransitionGet Updates on Wajahat Ali
Liverpool or Manchester United? Forget what you know about any other English football rivalry, this is it. There is no sectarian divide here, but the sheer hatred that springs forth when these two meet would not be out of place if there was one.
These are the bastions of English football. Although it is the oldest football championship in the world, it has only run for one hundred and twenty years (109 real seasons due to two world wars) and these two have won about a third of them, 36 divided equally. His closest challengers, Arsenal, are 13.
I just want to compare Liverpool's reign with Manchester United's reign. There have been a total of 23 different winners of the Football League / FA Premier League in the 109 seasons until 2008-09. Liverpool and Manchester United are tied for 18 each, Arsenal 13, Everton 9, Aston Villa 7, Sunderland 6, Newcastle and Sheffield Wednesday 4, Wolves, Leeds, Huddersfield, Chelsea and Blackburn 3 each, then Preston North End, Spurs, Derby County , Manchester City, Burnley and Portsmouth 2 each with a win each for the WBA, Ipswich, Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest.
Taking the starting point purely from the 1967-68 season, the beginning of the brackets of the 25th season of Manchester United, we can see that until the 1991-92 season included, there were a total of 8 different winners of the first division. Liverpool topped the list with 11, followed by Arsenal, Everton and Leeds with 3, Derby County with 2 and Manchester City, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest with one each. Since the formation of the Premier League in 1992-93 and Manchester United's return to winning form, there have been a total of 4 winners over a period of 17 seasons (until 2008-09 inclusive). Manchester United top the list with 11, Arsenal have 3, Chelsea 2 and Blackburn Rovers a single win. During this time, Manchester United have not finished outside the top four and Arsenal just three times. Since 2004-05, when Everton took its city competitors to Liverpool to fifth place, the first four have always been Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.
But what are the reasons for this apparent polarization? Money is the easy answer, but I'm not entirely convinced that this is the case. Traditionally, Manchester Untied has been the richest of all English football clubs. However, this did not help them until 1992-93 and before 1967-68 they took their turn with all the other teams as winners: after winning in 1966-67, they had 7 wins, just as Liverpool and Arsenal did with Everton, Sunderland and Aston Villa in 6 each.
No, I think it's much more because of a good administration: it must be, all the money in the wrong hands, Ron Atkinson, Gerard Houllier, to name but two. In Liverpool's dominance period, they always had money to spend when needed, but Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Gain and Kenny Dalglish knew what they were all about, just as Matt Busby and Alex Ferguson did. Arsene Wenger has kept Arsenal looking for the top in the Premier League through the constant development of young players. Looking back in time, Herbert Chapman, the architect of the 3 consecutive victories in Huddersfield Town in the 1920s and the five Arsenal titles in 1930, 3 of which were consecutive, were also an excellent manager.

So does this answer the first question? To be honest, the original question was probably rhetorical as there are 90 other teams in the league in England and Wales. Which football team you support is obviously due to many things. People say that geography should be the most important consideration and I have a lot of sympathy for it. However, young children who do not live in Liverpool or Manchester seem to go with the flow and follow the most successful team or the team their father supports. Nationally, Arsenal and Chelsea appear to be less popular than the big two: Manchester United is the nation's football team and has probably held this position since 1958; The Liverpool fan base probably grew exponentially in the 70s and 80s as they all won before them.

La Scienza che dà la felicità o La scienza regale (in turco: Kutadgu Bilig, [qʊtaðˈɢʊ bɪˈlɪɡ]) è un poema didascalico scritto in turco medioevale dal kharakhanide Yusuf Hass Hajib composto nel 462 Egira (1069-1070 d.C.). È il più antico documento letterario dei Turchi medievali dopo la loro conversione all'Islam; vi si trovano già vocaboli arabi e persiani.

Le caratteristiche dell'opera
Il trattato fu scritto da Yusuf e presentato al sovrano kharakhanide Ulu Kara Buğra Han nel 1070. Il khan apprezzò così tanto l'opera che lo scrittore fu nominato Gran Ciambellano di corte.Secondo le informazioni che lui stesso riporta nella sua opera, il trattato fu scritto in un arco di 18 mesi.
Questo libro è stato scritto in una forma poetica tradizionale molto usata dagli scrittori musulmani che era il Mesnevi: la caratteristica di queste forme di scrittura era quella di essere scritta in rima e di avere un fine didattico. Spesso lo scrittore usa similitudini, allegorie, proverbi o addirittura brevi storie di carattere morale per rivolgersi al suo lettore.

Questa scelta è altrettanto importante in quanto rende l'opera il primo testo in lingua turca scritto in questa forma.

La verità che conduce alla felicità
L'opera è composta da 6650 versi e divisa in 85 parti.

Kutadgu Bilig è un termine che, secondo gli studi, significa "Verità che conduce alla felicità".
Lo scrittore stesso afferma in un passo che il fine a cui la sua opera punta è quella di fornire agli uomini le conoscenze necessarie affinché raggiungano la felicità (v. 350). E aggiunge che il fine è sia la felicità terrena che ultraterrena (v. 351).

Il trattato è scritto sotto forma di dialogo tra 4 diversi personaggi, figure allegoriche dei temi trattati:
 Kün-Togdı (il Giorno Nascente): rappresenta il sovrano, simbolo della Giustizia
 Ay-Toldı (la Luna Piena): rappresenta il visir, simbolo della Felicità
 Ögdülmiş (il Lodato): rappresenta il saggio, simbolo della Sapienza
 Odgurmış (l'Illuminato): rappresenta il derviscio, simbolo della Fine

Il trattato inizia con la lode a Dio, al profeta Muhammed, ai quattro califfi e al regnante. Prosegue elencando uno ad uno le qualità che un sovrano, un visir e in generale le doti che gli uomini di Stato devono avere al fine di essere giusti ed esempio per il popolo. Continua con il trattare gli uomini di mestiere come gli artigiani, i medici ecc.
Lo scrittore si prefissa l'obiettivo di fornire agli uomini le conoscenze per poter raggiungere il fine ultimo di ogni essere vivente: essere un uomo perfetto, nel senso di un uomo felice che vive nel giusto.

Riporta che i sapienti, ossia tutti coloro che hanno conoscenze in materia scientifica o umanistica, sono degli esempi da seguire e da rispettare poiché sono come il "montone davanti alle pecore". Yusuf fornisce molte informazioni nella sua opera riguardo alle conoscenze scientifiche e filosofiche dell'epoca, disegnando un quadro completo della società. Infatti si constata che Yusuf è a conoscenza della filosofia di Platone e Aristotele; in particolare la concezione platonica dello Stato e della società sono i tratti che si evidenziano nel trattato. Inoltre si rispecchia in modo evidente l'influenza di filosofi come Farabi e Avicenna.

Le edizioni
L'edizione più vecchia del Kutadgu Bilig è quella scritta a Herat e risalente al 1439. Questa è trovata da von Hammer nel 1839 a Istanbul, portata in Austria e donata alla Biblioteca imperiale di Vienna. La sua prima traduzione e pubblicazione è del 1910 da parte di Radloff.Una seconda edizione è stata ritrovata a Fergana. Un'ultima edizione si trova nella Biblioteca de Il Cairo.

Llei Anastasiana és el nom aplicat a dues constitucions de l'Imperi romà.

La primera la va establir l'emperador Anastasi (491-518) i l'altra Justinià I (527-566). La constitució de Justinià era una ampliació i complement de la primera, i incloïa un text d'un epítom grec anomenat de les Basíliques. La llei limitava el dret dels cessionaris d'accions o crèdits que van ser adquirits per un cert preu, i limitava l'import que es podia reclamar al deutor a la quantitat que s'hagués satisfet per l'adquisició. Els comentaristes i els que van exposar la llei en èpoques posteriors van incorporar diverses excepcions a la norma, que va quedar reflectida al dret comú i al dret català.
