And the moment you spot one of them on an African safari, especially for the first time, a sense of awe sneaks up on you. Your open-aired Jeep falls silent, minus the ruffling of hands searching for phone cameras or whispers to pass the binoculars. The scale of you, a measly person, against an elephant, an imposing yet majestic mammoth of a creature, puts the fragileness of life into perspective.
The bugs of the savanna, on the other hand, struggle to conjure a similar aura. Putting on bug spray before a safari is as essential as brushing your teeth. Failing to heed the warning to shut off your hotel room lights will lead to a dense accumulation of unwanted insects. Yet while in Tanzania, where National Geographic hosted Den of Geek and other members of the press for a unique junket opportunity,...

Spotify’s Chief Marketing Officer Seth Farbman is leaving at the end of the month, in a departure that the music streaming service said was part of a broader realignment of its marketing efforts, the company said in a regulatory filing.
Farbman joined the company three and a half years ago as part of an effort to raise the company’s profile in preparation for an initial stock offering, though not everyone in the company was a fan of his work.
“He’s played a pivotal role in establishing our brand around the globe and building the remarkable team that will carry us into the future,” Spotify CEO Daniel Ek said in a statement.
Farbman’s departure is the latest in a number of executive exits over the past year, as the company evolved from scrappy startup to publicly traded entity with a $32.7 billion market valuation.
