The FDA has become aware that recalled Kellogg's Honey Smacks cereal are still being offered for sale. All Honey Smacks cereal was recalled in June 2018. Retailers cannot legally offer the cereal for sale and consumers should not purchase Kellogg's Honey Smacks cereal.
The FDA has learned that some retailers are still selling this product. The FDA will continue to monitor this situation closely and follow up with retailers as we become aware of recalled products being offered for sale. Additionally, the public is urged to report any product being offered for sale to the FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator in their region. More information about the recall can be found at FDA.gov.
The FDA, CDC, along with state and local officials are investigating a multi-state outbreak of Salmonella Mbandaka infections linked to Kellogg's Honey Smacks sweetened puffed wheat cereal. The CDC reports that 100 people in 33 states have become ill. There have been 30 hospitalizations and no deaths.
Following discussion with FDA, CDC, and state partners, the Kellogg Company voluntarily recalled Kellogg's Honey Smacks cereal. The recalled products were distributed across the United States including Guam and Saipan and internationally. Consumers should not eat any Honey Smacks cereal.
The FDA provided a more detailed a list of foreign countries to which the Kellogg's Honey Smacks cereal was distributed.. Here is the list of the foreign countries: Aruba/Curaçao/Saint Maarten (Netherlands Antilles), the Bahamas, Barbados, Tortola (British Virgin Islands), Costa Rica, Guatemala, Haiti, Mexico, Panama, and Tahiti (French Polynesia).
The FDA is advising consumers to not eat and to discard any Kellogg's Honey Smacks cereal. This is regardless of size or "best if used by" dates. The recall notice accounts for all of the product that is on the market within the cereal's estimated one year shelf-life. However, Honey Smacks products with earlier dates could also potentially be contaminated.
The FDA quickly initiated an inspection at the contract facility where Kellogg's Honey Smacks is manufactured. As part of the inspection, investigators collected environmental and product samples. Analysis of the environmental samples is now complete, and they were found to be a match to the outbreak strain. In addition, product samples collected and analyzed by state partners were positive for the outbreak strain of Salmonella Mbandaka. As of June 12, 2018, the manufacturing facility is no longer producing product. The FDA continues to work with the firm to address corrective actions.
The FDA, CDC, along with state and local officials are investigating a multi-state outbreak of Salmonella Mbandaka infections linked to Kellogg's Honey Smacks sweetened puffed wheat cereal.
The FDA and CDC, along with our state partners contacted The Kellogg Company and as a result of discussions, the company has voluntarily recalled Kellogg's Honey Smacks to prevent further distribution of potentially contaminated products. The recalled products were distributed across the United States including Guam and Saipan, and internationally in certain countries.
There are 100 people ill with this strain of Salmonella in 33 states: Alabama (2), Arizona (3), California (6), Colorado (1), Connecticut (4), Florida (2), Georgia (2), Illinois (1), Indiana (3), Kentucky (2), Louisiana (2), Massachusetts (7), Maryland (2), Michigan (4), Mississippi (1), Montana (2), North Carolina (4), New Hampshire (1), New Jersey (4), New York (11), Ohio (1), Oklahoma (2), Oregon (2), Pennsylvania (8), Rhode Island (2), South Carolina (2), Tennessee (2), Texas (3), Utah (1), Virginia (5), Washington (3), Wisconsin (1), West Virginia (4).The ages of the ill people range from less than one year to 95 (median 57 years) and 68% of cases are female. Reported illness onset dates range from 3/3/18 – 7/2/18. Among 77 with available information, 30 (39%) have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported.
On May 17, 2018 the FDA learned about a cluster of Salmonella Mbandaka illnesses in multiple states. In the following weeks, the FDA, CDC, and state partners worked together to collect additional information to identify a food item of interest. Interviews with ill people allowed health partners to identify Kellogg's Honey Smacks cereal as a possible source of the illnesses.
As a result of discussions with the Kellogg company and the contract manufacturer, on June 14, 2018,The Kellogg Company voluntarily recalled Honey Smacks cereal. On June 14, 2018 the FDA began collecting environmental and product samples from the contract manufacturer's facility.
On June 15, 2018 the FDA updated our web posting to include a list of known countries where the recalled product was distributed and to advise that consumers not eat and discard any Kellogg's Honey Smacks cereal. On July 12, 2018 the FDA and CDC updated their web posting to include additional cases linked to this outbreak. We also reminded consumers and retailers that the cereal has been recalled and should not be consumed or sold.

Q: How to simplify a range of repeated lines into an array (or any way possible) Here is a script that I am working on:
function doc_keyDown(e) {
 if (e.key === "q") {document.getElementById("area").value += "ф";}
 if (e.key === "Q") {document.getElementById("area").value += "Ф";}
 if (e.key === "w") {document.getElementById("area").value += "ц";}
 if (e.key === "W") {document.getElementById("area").value += "Ц";}
 if (e.key === "e") {document.getElementById("area").value += "у";}
 if (e.key === "E") {document.getElementById("area").value += "У";}
 if (e.key === "r") {document.getElementById("area").value += "ж";}
 if (e.key === "R") {document.getElementById("area").value += "Ж";}
return false;
}
document.addEventListener(doc_keyDown, false);

The aim of this code is to create an online keyboard, which types a foreign alphabet by typing in a  Latin alphabet.
Which means, I need more than 50 of the if codes above, and I am certain that there is a way to shorten this redundant repetition.
One thing that I have considered is using an array, which I referred to many sources such as this one, and I expect the result to look like the example below, but due to not being experienced with arrays, I do not know how to make this work.
var conversion = {
"q":"ф",
"Q":"Ф",
"w":"ц",
"W":"Ц",
...

And not only for arrays, I would like to learn any better ways to simplify the repeated lines. Any help will be appreciated.

A: Technically you are using an object not an array. This is rather simple to use you don't even need any loops.

var conversion = {
  "q": "ф",
  "Q": "Ф",
  "w": "ц",
  "W": "Ц"
}

area = document.getElementById("area");

function doc_keyDown(e) {

  newkey = conversion[e.key]
  if (newkey) {
    area.value = area.value.split(e.key).join(newkey);
  }

  return false;
}

document.addEventListener("keyup", doc_keyDown, false);
document.addEventListener("keydown", doc_keyDown, false);
<input type="text" id="area">

What do you think about a pony being barefoot? I would usually ride her once a week and we don't do anything intense.
That's perfectly fine, my horse goes barefoot every winter and we still ride/jump six times a week. As long as your farrier is ok with her staying barefoot!
If she's not lame, sore or wearing down too much hoof, it's fine. Some horses suit it, some don't but it's fine to leave those who do suit it without shoes.

When it comes to clothes or footwear, your first instinct is to hit the malls or scroll page after page of your online shopping sites to find an attractive bargain. However, have you ever considered what a treasure trove awaits you at flea markets in NJ, especially here at Cowtown Farmers Market?
Written by Cowtown Farmers Market on February 15, 2019 . Posted in Blog.
Whether you sell fresh produce, apparel, beauty products, handicrafts, or other seasonal products, today you have several online and offline avenues to market your wares and build your profits. While there are a wide variety of virtual retail options, they do come with their own set of challenges. Not only do you need to learn and master the art of online marketing, but you also have to worry about packaging, shipping, and meeting tight deadlines to reach your product to the final consumer.
On the other hand, selling at a flea market may be a completely different ball game. No doubt there is money to be made here, but you will enjoy several other advantages with this traditional, offline avenue.
Uniqueness in a Versatile Environment: From vintage goods curators and talented crafts persons, to small business owners and seasonal goods and service providers, the flea market has something for everyone. Despite the rise of other brick-and-mortar models, such as malls and shopping centers, consumers are constantly on the hunt for unique products and attractive bargains as an alternative to mass market products. As a vendor, you will not only benefit from the exuberant environment, but also meet plenty of diverse vendors and eager consumers.
Low Entry Barrier: Once you select your preferred flea market, all you need is the rent for a stall or table, transport, simple packaging for your goods, and a cash box or merchant services transaction hardware or software. By incurring nominal expenses you are all set to sell and make a profit.
Sales Potential: A flea market is usually a lot more about the passion and enjoyment of the ambience, and less about the cash. However, if you line up early and choose the right location to set up your wares, you will be smiling your way to the bank. Moreover, it is also about selecting the most appropriate market for your offerings as there are many varieties out there. While a few specialize in fresh produce and food stalls, some are renowned for arts, antiques and collectibles, while yet others may attract crowds for vintage clothing, accessories, handicrafts, furniture and more.
Market Research Opportunity: If you have a relatively new product on hand, there is no better place than a flea market to conduct some low-cost research. Put your merchandise out there, interact with potential customers, build your brand within the local community, seek feedback to modify and perfect your goods and ensure that your offering is catering to the needs of your target audience.
More importantly, you could develop a loyal customer base that can propel your part-time venture into a full-time business. In fact, you may find several examples of successful entrepreneurs who started business at a flea market.
At the Cowtown Farmers Market in New Jersey, we pride ourselves on our diverse and unique year-round offerings, in the comfort of temperature-controlled outdoor and indoor facilities.

We are talking again with Miss Steffi Decker of Cheong and Costure.
I know my students at Northwestern really love your example, which is One.org.
a nonprofit, based in Washington DC.
their goal was to get to a million fans on their Facebook page.
That was their big goal.
So they came to us and said, can we do it, and at what cost?
>> One.org, was that founded by Bono?
but they wanted to grow their market share up to a million.
Of people to communicate to on a regular basis.
And they thought a Facebook fanpage was the place to do that.
>> Okay, so their goal was that.
Was there any cost or did they say, however much it costs is fine?
Or what did they have other source of, That they wanted to get.
that's where we started, figuring out.
So, what was the next step?
But, the way that we got there was the testing process we described earlier.
So step two was throw everything against the wall.
they're an advocacy organization, a non-profit.
So they work on lots of issues.
campaigns they've done on these issues.
and Facebook ads, as we talked about before, have different components.
They have images and they have text.
What we did is we tested different ads in each of these areas.
the issues that did the best for them Was, broadly speaking, women and AIDS.
components in a Facebook ad, you then put it out to the target market.
>> And then based upon that, you were reading how many people clicked through.
And that became the metric for how you rank them from good to bad?
What did it cost to get someone to say I want to be a fan of One?
that today is gonna be the beginning of the end of AIDS.
All of these are things one does great work on.
the ones that got people to click at the lowest cost.
you also have failure, which teaches you really which way to go.
we take the stuff that didn't work We throw it out.
And we take the stuff that did work, and we try and make it work better.
>> You're going down now to the microtesting of the successes?
an image that worked very well.
see if we can test, optimize and iterate our way into a better performer.
So, basically, your successful one became the control.
can even improve the response rate or the click-through rate even more.
>> Exactly, and the nuance with Facebook testing is there's two pieces of it.
There's creative and there's audiences So we've talked so far about the creative.
in this case a fan.
You need to match the best creative with the best audiences.
was we tested different people we thought would be susceptible to this message.
or to end AIDS or eradicate poverty, or all sorts of similar types of causes.
then we iterate optimized and iterated again, and kept dialing it in.
>> Yeah, so you keep, what did you say, rinse and repeat?
more about what really triggers a market to action and how it works.
it is a cost per acquisition.
>> We had a goal that we were working with, with One.
Ultimately the lowest cost we could get.
even with the best creative, we couldn't get under that goal.
them, we could get well under that goal.
the 20% of the budget we talked about before, and moved into the Scaling.
We took the best audiences, with the best creative and scaled those out.
>> You know what I really like about this methodology, is it takes away guessing.
campaign to roll out to really achieve your marketing goals.
>> That's right and one message, doesn't fit all.
That's what we learn in these kinds of campaigns, almost never is that the case.
they might want to see one message.
They might be most responsive to a different message.
And that's what the testing teaches us and why this process is so important.
are gonna make money for each one of our participants.
when you look over time you costs should go down.
And your results should go up.
>> I like that, that sounds like the way to go.
this great example with One network.


In addition, the package see a common EU target of 75% for recycling packaging waste by 2030 and a binding target to reduce landfill to maximum of 10% of all waste by 2030.
According to the Commission the package will stimulate Europe's transition towards a circular economy which will boost global competitiveness, foster sustainable economic growth and generate new jobs. To help facilitate this transition the Commission accompanied the CE Package with its Action Plan on the Circular Economy which sets out measures to "close the loop" and tackle all phases in the lifecycle of a product, from manufacture to disposal.
The plan also includes a number of actions that the Commission said will target market barriers in specific sectors or material streams, such as plastics, food waste, critical raw materials, construction and demolition, biomass and bio-based products, as well as horizontal measures in areas such as innovation and investment.
The Commission added that the aim of the plan is to focus on issues where EU level action brings real added value and is capable of making a difference on the ground.
Unsurprisingly for such a highly anticipated announcement, many in the industry were voice their opinion on the package, which was broadly welcomed with some reservations.
"I welcome the new proposed Directive on waste from the Commission," ISWA president, David Newman, told WMW.
"I am very glad they have taken into account many of the comments made by ISWA in our meetings with them. In particular the need for harmonised data and reporting comes out clearly. The move towards restricting landfilling of biowaste is very important as is the overall 10% landfill target for 2030. Derogations for some member countries are common sense," he said.
However, Newman also cautioned that the the package needed to be firmer on the collection of biowaste.
That was a view echoed by the Resource Association's Ray Georgeson.
"Proposals on food waste and separate collection appear to be weaker than many of us had hoped for, and the introduction of TEEF as a successor (for biowaste) to TEEP may not prove to be the Commission's finest moment," he said.

In the good old days (maybe 10 years ago or so), the role of an internal communications department was reasonably straightforward: to inspire employees by showcasing positive accomplishments, both the company's and their own. But in 2016 with information flowing so incredibly freely — from traditional news media outlets, online publications, blogs, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. – the onslaught of news has complicated the role of internal communications and made its work notably more difficult.
These days, internal communications has to inform and transmit a company's mission and values to employees, as it always has, while also addressing the current demands for immediacy and transparency. These are new responsibilities that must be taken seriously; communications that are merely cheerleading will be met with great skepticism.
Compounding the challenge is a factor that has long frustrated PR practitioners, even before the digital revolution: bad news travels faster and is absorbed more readily than good news. There's a deep psychological basis for this. In a 2014 study, McGill University researchers found that people exhibited a "negativity bias" in deciding which news articles to read.
I've seen firsthand how much more likely people are to read and remember negative publicity. Years ago, I was working in-house at a large corporation and devised a way to get important news summaries to managers rapidly — before an article would post to the Internet. We branded these items as "Heads Ups," signaling a need to pay attention quickly to what you were about to read. We treated important negative and positive news with the same urgency. Managers came to rely on these quick summaries, which were factual and unbiased (we worked hard to not give our own view of the impending article, but instead made sure to include the quote or quotes we had provided).
Over the years, I noticed that I would get many responses when the news was negative. Managers wanted to know more. But when a "Heads Ups" contained positive news, it was either not being read or provoked no response at all. In fact, I would sometimes ask if managers had even seen a positive story, and nine times out of ten, they couldn't remember.
Today, these biases are only exacerbated through social media, in which the spread of bad news accelerates through retweeting, reposting and countless other forms of digital sharing.
Even more disruptive to previous communications habits, employees have direct access to information from business and political leaders from their own social media pages. They no longer need to rely solely on traditional news sources.
Those charged with marketing a company to its employees need to take account of this shifting environment. Employees are an increasingly critical readership, generally skeptical of overly positive messages from a company. They are looking for transparency, immediacy and honesty from internal communications — not fluff that, frankly, they're unlikely either to read or embrace.
Internal communications needs to adapt to this increasingly transparent world. Departments should still report positive news about their company, but they are also obliged to report negative news as soon as possible. Internal communications also needs to utilize senior executives for this messaging. With the development of social media, direct messaging from top executives, world leaders, celebrities, politicians and even professional athletes has become the norm. Internal communications needs to create direct messages from the C.E.O. to employees at all levels.
Utilized correctly, transparent communication can create a more trusting and collaborative culture. By being timely and straightforward about a company's shortcomings, internal communications will encourage employees to trust its positive developments as well. A company can create an ecosystem of trust in a news environment increasingly saturated with negativity.

With the help of the PoINT Storage Manager, the specialist agricultural publisher Landwirtschaftsverlag Münster implemented a multi-tier storage architecture which automatically differentiates between active and inactive data and stores it at a performance level matching its actual usage. Since then, the publisher has been able to use its available capacity much more efficiently and save on the investments it had originally planned in additional storage agriculdevices. The implementation partner for this project was ICSmedia GmbH, which has supported the media firm for many years as an IT service provider. In implementing this new storage solution, Landwirtschaftsverlag Münster has also sown the seeds for the future: if its existing storage capacity should ever prove insufficient, the company will store its data at ICSmedia's data center.

The Bonds of Debt
by Richard Dienst
financialization (en)
the process whereby the financial industry becomes more prominent
The so-called "financialization" of the global economy encompasses more than the operations of financial capital.
—p.4 Introduction: All That We Owe (1) by Richard Dienst
hegemony (en)
(noun) preponderant influence or authority over others; domination / (noun) the social, cultural, ideological, or economic influence exerted by a dominant group
For Arrighi, this alternation of material and financial expansions, anchored by a hegemonic center, accounts for the emergence of capitalism itself, yet as each cycle concentrates a greater degree of power, it also hastens its own exhaustion.
citing Giovanni Arrighi's The Long Twentieth Century and Adam Smith in Beijing
—p.20 Chapter 1: Once in a Lifetime (7) by Richard Dienst
aegis (en)
(noun, Greek mythology) protective mantle of Zeus given to Athena
First comes a "material expansion" under the aegis of a dominant bloc powerful enough to control interstate competition and "ensure material cooperation."
apotheosis (en)
the highest point in the development of something; culmination or climax
destined for hegemonic domination and financial apotheosis
primitive accumulation (en)
a economic theory relating to the origin of capital (Adam Smith saw it as a peaceful process with natural imbalances in wealth distribution; Karl Marx saw it as a violent enclosure of the commons etc etc)
the various forms of "primitive accumulation" described by Marx (whereby land, labor, and natural resources are turned into commodities)
structural adjustment programs (en)
a term for the loans provided by the IMF and the World Bank to countries that experienced economic crises, which come with strings attached: privatisation and deregulation, mainly (the conditions are also known as the Washington Consensus)
we can see how this "structural adjustment" of public finances has played out rather badly in most places where the Washington Consensus was implemented, not least in Washington itself
Washington Consensus (en)
a set of 10 economic policy prescriptions considered to constitute the "standard" reform package promoted for crisis-wracked developing countries by Washington, D.C.–based institutions like the IMF and the World Bank (in a nutshell, neoliberalism); term first used in 1989 by English economist John Williamson
bulwark (en)
(noun) defensive wall
it seems long ago that anybody trusted the state to serve as a bulwark against the global system
—p.39 Chapter 2: Inequality, Poverty, Indebtedness (33) by Richard Dienst
vicissitudes (en)
(noun) a change or variation occurring in the course of something; successive, alternating, or changing phases or conditions, as of life or fortune; ups and downs
What might appear to each of us as vicissitudes of fate and fortune are actually organized by more durable relationships and processes that usually remain opaque.
scission (en)
(noun) a division or split in a group or union; schism / (noun) an action or process of cutting, dividing, or splitting; the state of being cut, divided, or split
Through its operations the scission between wealth and poverty turns into a self-reinforcing pincer.


Abstract	 The inactivation of peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in red beet extract (RBE) with continuous high pressure carbon dioxide (HPCD) was investigated. HPCD treatment at 7.5 MPa (55 degrees C, 30 min) resulted in a reduction of their activities by approximately 73% and 93%, respectively. Compared with thermal treatment, continuous HPCD treatment reduced the decimal reduction time (D) of POD and PPO from 555.6 min to 55.9 min and 161.3 min to 32.1 min, respectively. The inactivation process could be described by first-order kinetics (r(2) > 0.70, p < 0.05); D values declined when temperature increased and continuous HPCD at 7.5 MPa and 55 degrees C resulted in the highest reaction rate constant (k value; smallest D value). The activation energy of the inactivation was reduced by HPCD treatment from 92.5 kJ/mol to 69.8 kJ/mol and 57.1 kJ/mol to 49.5 kJ/mol for POD and PPO, respectively. Continuous HPCD treatment had little effect on the antioxidant capacities of RBE samples. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

What thoughts immediately spring to your mind when thinking of the bald eagle? Are you instantly thinking of America and the majestic symbolism that the bird has held for the country for so many years? Your first thought may be how big and fierce they are, making them outstanding hunters.
The bald eagle has been a fascinating bird of prey that has captured our attention for many years. Curious to learn more amazing facts about the USA's national bird? We've got the rundown on bald eagles, including the average bald eagle lifespan and what factors impact their lives in the wild.
Let's get ready to learn all about this amazing hunter!
Quick Crash Course on Bald Eagles
Bald eagles can fly at speeds of up to 30 mph and dive at rates of up to 100 mph.

Since 1782, the bald eagle has served as the United States' national symbol. It was chosen because of its majestic beauty and symbolism of freedom and strength. Long before the bald eagle ever became the emblem of the United States, many indigenous peoples revered the birds and their feathers.
Bald eagles are pretty large birds, and the females are often larger than the males. Female bald eagles reach 43 inches in length, have an eight-foot wingspan, and weigh around 14 pounds. Meanwhile, the males are typically about 25% smaller and weigh a little more than 10 pounds. This is one of the ways you can tell which eagle is the female when looking at a pair.
The Best Nest Boxes Birds Will Actually Use for 2022
Bald eagles are opportunistic predators, which means they will steal from other animals in addition to hunting for live food options. They have eyesight estimated at four to eight times stronger than that of the average human. This 20/4 or 20/5 eyesight allows them to notice tiny prey up to two miles away.
Now that we have a better understanding of the bald eagle, let's find out why the bald eagle's lifespan is so fascinating!
How Long Do Bald Eagles Live?

The average bald eagle's lifespan is 20-30 years in the wild. However, their lifespan in captivity has been reported to be up to 50 years. The oldest confirmed bald eagle in the wild was discovered to be 38 years old when it passed away.
Bald eagles have an unusually long lifespan compared to other birds. This is because they are top predators who don't have to worry about becoming prey to other animals.
However, the bald eagle's lifespan comes up short compared to other eagles. On average, other well-known eagle species, such as the harpy eagle, have been estimated to live anywhere between 25-35 years in the wild.
Now that we've gotten a better understanding of the bald eagle's lifespan, let's take a look at how life begins for this magnificent predator.
The Average Bald Eagle Life Cycle
As such feared and majestic apex predators, it's fascinating to find out how they turn into their adult versions. Here's a glimpse of how eaglets develop from shaggy hatchlings to gorgeous adult birds.
Hatchlings
Bald eagles lay between one and three eggs every year, with two being the average. The eggs hatch in the order they were laid. The offspring, called eaglets, are covered in white fluff and are utterly dependent on their parents for nutrition. They are barely three ounces in weight when they hatch. The parents alternate who takes care of the hatchlings. They bring food back to the hatchlings around four times a day on average.
Nestlings
Eaglets stay as nestlings for roughly 10 to 12 weeks before they fledge or leave the nest for the first time. During that time, they develop enough feathers to fly and grow large enough to start hunting independently. The parents will continue to rip apart food and feed it to the nestlings until they can feed themselves. Nestlings can usually start feeding themselves when they are approximately 40 days old.
At 10 to 12 weeks of age, fledglings are usually ready to fledge or take their first flight. They begin by flying to neighboring trees, gradually increasing their distance as they gain confidence in their flying ability. Fledglings return to the nest and stay close to their parents for a month or longer, learning to hunt and refine their flying skills.
Juveniles are eagles in their first year that do not yet have full adult plumage. In their first year, juvenile bald eagles might seem bigger than their parents due to longer flight feathers that help them learn to fly. The wing feathers will be the same size as an adult's after their first molt.
Bald eagles get closer to the recognizable and characteristic adult feathers with each molt. Most of them have white head and tail feathers between their fourth and fifth years, while some never completely shed the brown pattern. That is usually an indication that the birds have attained sexual maturity and are ready to reproduce.
The Most Common Factors That Impact The Bald Eagle's Lifespan
By the age of 4-6 years, the bald eagle develops distinctive white head and tail feathers that are easily recognized.

Bald eagles are one of the most feared animals in the wild because they are apex predators. However, there are still several factors that shorten their lifespan.
These factors include:
Natural habitat destruction caused by humans: The degradation of the bald eagle's native habitat is the most serious threat to the species' future. The bald eagle population declines as the human population expands. The development of beachfront properties is the most harmful human activity. Because bald eagles rely on waterfront habitats and aquatic food supplies, human development in these prized places is the biggest danger to their existence.
Nest site removal: Destroying pine trees, which are favored nesting sites, forces bald eagles to use inferior nesting sites. In certain circumstances, there will be no viable nesting sites left in the region. This results in abandonment of the habitat.
Electrocution: One direct cause of death of bald eagles is electrocution. Power poles are commonly used by bald eagles because they make for good perches.

Facebook Ads Strategy: A New Approach for a Competitive Marketplace
by Michael Stelzner / November 15, 2019 / Leave a Comment
Have your Facebook ads stopped working? Wondering what needs to change?
To explore a new approach to Facebook ads strategy, I interview Nicholas Kusmich on the Social Media Marketing Podcast.
Nicholas is a Facebook ads strategist with H2H Media Group. He hosts the Accelerated Results podcast and is the author of Give: The Ultimate Guide to Using Facebook Advertising to Generate More Leads, More Clients, and Massive ROI.
You'll discover how Facebook ads have changed over the last few years and find tips to help you change your strategies to keep up.
Listen to the Podcast Now
This article is sourced from the Social Media Marketing Podcast, a top marketing podcast. Listen or subscribe below.
Shifting Facebook Landscape
The number-one frustration of Facebook advertisers across the board is that everything is always changing. Nicholas says we should focus less on what's changing on Facebook and more on changes to how users are experiencing the platform.
A few years ago, Facebook had a lot less traffic and a lot less going on. You could target someone to come to your website and buy something, and if the message-to-market match was good, you'd get a great result. Everyone was raving about how easy it was to make things happen on Facebook. But things have changed.
More people are using the platform, which means there's less real estate on the news feed. It's also getting busier, which makes it harder to capture attention as an advertiser and harder to consume information as a user. Mark Zuckerberg recently estimated there were about 7 million advertisers on Facebook, all competing for limited real estate. And most users consuming those ads are on mobile, not desktop, by the way.
Buyers are also less trusting. Before, if you were one of the top brands—or even if you were a less established up-and-comer—you could sell a lot very easily. Now, people don't trust anybody because they've been duped. Add to that Facebook's own issues with Cambridge Analytica, and the trust factor has gone way down.
Consumer behavior has also changed. If we rewind 5–7 years, an average consumer needed up to 16 touchpoints before making a buying decision. Those same studies are saying that a consumer now needs up to 33 touchpoints before making a buying decision.
So with the constant changes, increased competition, and consumers needing ever-increasing points of contact before saying yes, you have to stay sharp or get left behind as a business owner and advertiser.
Evolving With Consumer Trends
The options you can choose for Facebook Advertising—as well as the limitations—can be overwhelming. The Stories platform on Facebook and Instagram has also changed the game because how one interacts with Stories is very different from how one interacts on the news feed. This, in turn, is very different from how one interacts on Instagram versus Facebook with Messenger ads.
Nicholas thinks this is a good thing because it means Facebook is always evolving. They understand user behavior.
A few years ago, Facebook noticed that images were popular so they placed their successful bid to buy Instagram. Then Facebook noticed that messaging was hot so they bought WhatsApp and doubled down on their own messenger platform, which has led to the advent of bots. It's encouraging from the perspective that Facebook is realizing that consumers behave in different ways, and they're not falling behind on those trends.
On the other hand, Nicholas warns that a business owner or an advertiser needs to avoid being distracted by all the new bells and whistles that come out with each new rendition of the ads platform.
Challenge Is Relative
An increased focus on privacy, not just for Facebook but for consumers, is going to make it a little harder for marketers to target and retarget people. But Nicholas wants to reframe this idea of "harder." It might be harder for us who were born and raised in the Internet age when marketing was extremely easy, perhaps.
For the most part, when Facebook first came out years ago, there were no restrictions on what you could say or show. It was the wild west. Things went crazy and there was an explosion of Internet multi-millionaires.
Then came the advent of what Nicholas calls "the Teespring era," where you could put a last name on a T-shirt, show that exact ad to people who had that last name, and they'd sell like wildfire.
Often, when Nicholas goes to his masterminds or other circles, he's reminded of what he calls "the OGs": the old-school direct response marketers who were basically buying mailing lists and had no idea who was on them or where they went. They just had to lick a stamp and write a letter and hope that someone would read it.
So yes, Facebook is getting more difficult to operate on compared to the past. But from the perspective of those old-school marketers, we still have it a lot easier than it was not that long ago.
Restrategizing
When advertising first started on Facebook, it was a direct-to-sale play for most people. Facebook was a channel for direct response ads that encouraged people to take a very specific, trackable action such as purchasing. For the most part, this worked very well. You could acquire a customer at 25% to 50% the value of that customer, and people would do that all day long.
But now we need to reevaluate the purpose of Facebook in our overall advertising or marketing strategy.
Lead Generation: Nicholas emphasizes that Facebook advertising isn't just a channel to generate sales; it's also a channel to generate leads.
If you can generate a lead—at minimum, a name and an email address—you've acquired someone who's raised their hand and shown that they're interested in a particular topic. Once you've generated that lead, you now have multiple channels on which to continue to correspond with that person, moving toward those desired 16, 22, and now 33 touchpoints.
According to Dean Jackson, a lead is an appreciating asset over time. A lead who comes into your world today isn't going to be worth as much as a lead who's been in your world for a year. Their worth to you will keep growing if you keep nurturing that lead and providing value to them.
Bringing Them Into Your Ecosystem: Nicholas knows people may say that email isn't the best channel. There's no "best channel," but there are multiple channels.
If you can get someone onto an email list, you can send them high-value emails regularly. In those emails, you can encourage them to listen to your podcast. Then on the podcast, you can encourage them to subscribe to your YouTube channel. Once they've subscribed to the YouTube channel, you can encourage them to attend your live event.
We shouldn't focus on just one channel of communication. We can bring people off the Facebook platform, and through multiple channels, we can have more than 33 touchpoints to eventually warm that person up to a sale whenever they're ready.
We were in a Facebook-first, Facebook-only world until just a few years ago—and rightfully so because it worked and everyone loved it. So people figured, why do email? Why do YouTube ads? Why do anything else? Let's make this "the thing."
What marketers are starting to realize now is that while Facebook is a great, cost-effective way to get the right message in front of the right person at the right time and bring them into your ecosystem, that ecosystem isn't just Facebook or email. It's every social channel you have. People consume content in different ways at different times of the day and in different capacities.
Now we can put people on our list, generate an email, and then bounce them around our ecosystem so we're constantly in front of them providing value in different ways on many channels. Facebook is a great complement to other channels we use to generate sales.
Supplement Emails With Facebook Ads: Anyone in the lead generation world used to run an ad, get someone onto an email list, and then use email to distribute whatever information they wanted.
Now, email open rates are at an all-time low, and click-through rates are even lower than that. If you've spent all this time, money, energy, and effort to generate the lead itself, and then you rely on just one very poor channel to nurture them from lead to customer or client, it seems a little bit irresponsible. But you can use Facebook to supplement email.
Mirror campaigns are a great example of this. A mirror campaign is when you take the core piece of content that you've distributed via email and also put it in a Facebook ad to show to a custom audience of your email list.
You're not relying just on email to deliver that content, hoping your prospect consumes it. Now you have two channels through which you can deliver that content to those people. Invariably, email open rates go up, presumably because they saw the ad and it reminded them to open the email. The consumption rate goes up because now you're not just relying on email that sometimes misses an inbox, gets lost in spam, or possibly doesn't get delivered because of technical issues. Now, they're seeing it in their news feed. They're getting the information.
The point here is that we need to see Facebook as not just a top-of-funnel tool but also a middle-of-funnel and bottom-of-funnel tool. When we're promoting sales messages to our lists, why not use Facebook to do the same thing? When we're trying to "push" someone through the various stages of a funnel, why just rely on email when we can actually use Facebook to do the same thing?
Focus on Lifetime Value: We see more people talk about abandoning Facebook as a platform, claiming it just doesn't work for them.
This is because a few years ago, if they were selling a $100 widget, they could acquire a customer for $50. That math worked out for them all day long. But then, over the years, $51 went to $75, and $75 went to $90, and $90 went to $100, and $100 went to $110. If they acquire a customer worth $100 to them short-term and it's costing $110 to acquire that customer, they rightfully want to move platforms.
We have to reframe our perspective and realize that our front-end offer to our marketplace or industry isn't actually a profit generator but is what some might call a self-liquidator. The idea is if we don't make a profit on the front-end sale that's okay, because as a business owner we have an LTV (lifetime value) of that customer, not just the single transaction value of that customer.
If we know that the lifetime value of a customer is $700 over 3–5 years, then spending $110 to acquire that customer is actually great profit. We just have to exercise patience. As business owners, we have to think beyond that single transaction and be prepared to treat customers well, to cross-sell and upsell, and to have them stay in our world as a continuous customer.
Ryan Deiss said that in the game of advertising, he who can afford to pay the most to acquire a customer wins. But when most people approach advertising, they're wondering how they can acquire a customer for the cheapest amount possible.
Both are true. Of course, we don't want to overspend to acquire a customer, but due to all the changes in Facebook—where competition is high, trust level is low, and consumers need up to 33 touchpoints before making a buying transaction—we do need to realize that profit doesn't need to be made on the initial transaction.
We as business owners need to start to think post-transaction—and that could be right in the midst of the transaction. Once they buy with things like order bumps and upsells and downsells and cross-sells as they're going through a checkout process, that's great, but what are you also doing as a business owner to increase the lifetime value of that customer?
That's where people are really going to win on Facebook: when they reframe and think about lifetime value rather than immediate transactional value.
Resistance to Change: It's been difficult to get people to reframe that thinking because we're trained—especially in the direct response world—to think we need to create a profitable transaction immediately.
At one of Nicholas's 2-day intensives, a participant had a primary product that was a $7 offer for a 7-day trial of a sleep supplement. In the old-school world of direct response, that meant they would need to acquire each new customer for less than $7. What came out of his mouth that blew everybody away is that every time they acquired one of those $7 customers for the trial, they were losing $5.23.
This was an eight-figure business; they were doing very, very well. They were gaining new customers by the thousands each week. But every time they acquired a new customer, they were losing $5.23.
But they knew that their 1-year value of a customer—not even the lifetime value of a customer—was approximately $40 for their product. So they were spending $12 to acquire a $40 customer, and even though they didn't see that $40 immediately, they knew they would see it over the course of a few months.
Of course, you have to make sure your business has enough cash flow to pay for the ads to acquire the customer and lose $5 every time. Nicholas helped this business add a simple order bump to their checkout process, which now has them breaking even on every transaction. With their order volume, this meant millions of extra dollars.
Hearing this company's mentality of losing money every time they brought on a customer was eye-opening for everybody else in the room. But when they broke it down, it made sense. Until you start thinking about the bigger picture of things, it'll be hard to grasp. But once you do, then it starts to make complete sense.
Fast, Medium, and Slow Prospects
Every prospect can be placed into one of three categories: fast, medium, and slow. A small percentage of prospects will transact very quickly, within the first couple of touchpoints. Some prospects will need a few more touchpoints before they make a buying decision (this is for whom the traditional Internet marketing funnel was invented). Other prospects may need up to 2 years of nurturing before they transact.
Knowing the three reframes we just talked about, and knowing that every prospect falls into one of three categories, Nicholas has a strategy he calls Capture, Consume, and Convert.
Rather than trying to get them to pull the trigger right away and purchase something, Nicholas follows Robert Cialdini's influence idea of micro-commitments: How do we get them to say yes to something small to gain their trust, provide value, and earn the right even to ask for a transaction?
It's a lead generation play through what the industry calls a lead magnet: a one- to three-page downloadable PDF that delivers exceptional value and offers insight over information. What that means is that it's not just a bunch of information they could have gotten on Google. Insight is strategic and applicable content that someone can execute to get one step closer to their desired outcome.
This offer allows people to stick their toe in the water before diving in. If you try to go too fast, it could end up with a slap in the face and a ruined reputation. And that's not what we want in the Internet world. We want people to appreciate and value us and speak highly of us, rather than the opposite.
Nicholas says he doesn't love Facebook lead ads, where prospects can fill out a form to request information right there in the ad. While the cost per lead is extremely low, so are conversions. There's just not enough buy-in; people may not necessarily be thinking through what they're doing, they may just be pushing a button.
Sometimes Nicholas has even had people on the tail end of the lead ad claim they didn't ask for the lead magnet. They did, but they didn't even know it because they were just pushing buttons. He prefers directing leads to a separate landing page that requires them to fill out their information there and hit a button to have it delivered via email. And even if they don't fill out the form, he can remarket to them because he's got a pixel on that landing page.
These days, Nicholas feels a good opt-in rate is approximately 33%—but that also means 66% aren't taking the action. They're clearly interested because if they weren't, they wouldn't have clicked on the ad. There was intent but maybe they just didn't like something about the page or offer. Nicholas recommends retargeting them as very hot prospects because they made the effort to read the ad, click the ad, and come over to the page. They just didn't take that next step.
A Good Landing Page: Nicholas recommends that a landing page contain a simple headline, a great image, a few bullet points, and ultimately a form. A simple headline formula Nicholas likes is, "How to X without Y so you can Z." X is what they want, without Y (the thing they're trying to avoid) so that they can Z, the ultimate benefit.
Another important element is an image of the thing they're getting—the cover page of your PDF, for instance. There's something that happens in the consumer's mind when they can get a visual of that thing, even though they're never going to get the thing in that way. If you can throw in some social proof and some extra, that helps. But that's just a bonus.
If you make a very light, non-aggressive offer to people who've just opted into something, a small percentage who are ready to take action right now will say yes to it, which is a great thing. But the reality is that the majority won't want to take action right away.
Here's where we enter into the Consume phase, which involves providing valuable, insightful content. Nicholas calls this "milestone content." Picture your prospect at the base of a mountain and the peak of the mountain is where they want to go, their overall dream goal. As they begin to climb, there are certain milestones, landmarks that make them feel good about their progress.
As a business owner, think through the milestones that someone needs to hit en route to their journey of accomplishing X. Whatever that is should be the framework of the content you now produce.
The strategy is to help people hit milestones without charging them, just because this is the value that you provide to people on your list. Then, with every milestone they hit, psychologically that person is thinking a) that you're great, and b) that nobody else was able to help them. So when they're thinking about their next steps, they're coming to you and asking you what's next.
The Consume phase is about how we use ads, email, podcasts, books, and other channels we're on to deliver milestone content to this new lead, without being aggressive or heavy with our sales.
You can think about this in the form of a funnel. Maybe there are webinars that you want to put people into; maybe there's a three-part video series; maybe it's bringing them to an event. Whatever it is, think about what milestone content you can get in front of your ideal prospect, and get them to consume that content.
This is also a great time to use the Facebook mirror ad strategy. Anytime an email goes out, use Facebook ads to get that same content out to the prospect so they can consume it and build trust in you. More importantly, they build trust in themselves so when they're ready to make a buying decision, there's much less resistance. You've done the hard work of providing value; overcoming objections; and building trust, authority, and credibility along the way.
Overcoming Objections: With any big decision someone makes in their life, there are some smaller decisions they have to make before they step into that big decision. Amy Porterfield does this well. She's figured out what all of those objections are, and she's created a lot of free content that addresses these objections so people are prepared to buy the big product.
One of Nicholas's favorite ways to overcome objections is case study-based narratives of people who once had the major objection that you're overcoming. This way, you don't have to address the objection directly. If you go deep into telling someone's story from a case study perspective, anybody who has doubts can overcome those doubts not because you told them to, but because you told them someone else's story.
The Long Game: Nicholas says that the Consume phase can last anywhere from 1 hour to 2 years.
There is a consumer study right now that says 50% of the people who inquire about a product end up buying that product within 2 years. If 100 couples go to a store to look at a washer and dryer, 50 of those couples will actually end up buying a washer and dryer within 2 years. It doesn't mean they'll buy it from the original source they inquired from, but it means they'll buy that very thing.
Of that 50% who end up buying the thing, 15% of the 50% end up transacting between day 0 and day 90, and 85% end up transacting between day 91 and 2 years. Most people are abandoned by marketers by day 8. Marketers think that if a customer didn't convert in their 4-day funnel, it must be a dead lead. But they haven't even gotten started.
How much is being left on the table by marketers who've abandoned "dead leads" who are now just buying from competitors? It's not that they never would have bought, they're just buying from someone else because we give up on them. We need to think much longer-term.
In the Consumption phase, people can buy within an hour but other people will buy in up to 2 years. Anything over 2 years may be a dead lead. But Nicholas says that when he's speaking in front of a group or holding a mastermind, he asks his newest members, "How long have you been in my world before you made this buying decision?" On average, he finds it's 2–3 years.
At some point, we need to make offers. Obviously—no offer, no sale. But how do we do it in a way that isn't too aggressive and doesn't put anybody off? There are a few ways to convert.
Promotions: There's a reason why Black Friday is the highest transactional economic movement in retail ever. Everybody knows that on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, things go on sale. In fact, depending on what time of year that you're listening to this conversation, you should be planning 3 months out what naturally tends to happen on the Facebook platform.
Approximately 8–12 weeks before Black Friday, buying behavior goes down and ads stop working. Why? Because they're adding items to their cart but they know 2 months from now they're going to be able to get it all on sale.
The mindset is converting into this idea of not buying yet because a sale is about to come. Don't worry about your ads if they're not converting as well. There's a reason you push hard on your prospecting ads right now: because when you start getting close to Black Friday, you switch that over into your retargeting ads and stay in front of all of those people who had been waiting to buy.
Super Signature: Another way Nicholas likes to convert is by using what Dean Jackson calls a "super signature." Essentially, on every correspondence that goes out throughout the year—non-sales times, non-event times, just during the everyday flow of your business—you end by saying, "P.S. Whenever you're ready, these are the one, two, or three ways that I can best help you." In Dean's case, resource one is a free thing, resource two is a low-ticket thing, and resource three is a high-ticket thing.
Now, every time Nicholas sends his weekly email, he makes sales because whenever they're ready—and it just so happened that when they read that email, they were ready—they've decided to transact with him. Some of these people have been on Nicholas's list for years, some only months or days. But as Dean Jackson also says, there are only two times that people transact: now and not now.
If they're not transacting now, it just means they're "not now"—but now will eventually come. So we want to constantly present a very light, non-aggressive message of, "Hey, whenever you're ready, this is the best way I can help you."
Nicholas takes the Super Signature concept farther than just email. Anytime he does a video, a blog post, or anything else, he always ends the same way: "Whenever you're ready, this is the best way I can help you." That begins to drive sales from people who were "not now" but have converted into "now," and are ready to transact. It's another simple way to create conversions without being overly aggressive with hard sales.
Discovery of the Week
Descript is an amazing desktop audio/text editing tool. Upload your audio file—a podcast or a video—and Descript will give you a transcription. But it doesn't stop there. It's basically audio and video editing in text mode.
You see the wave-form of the audio, the video (if applicable), and the text that correlates to it, all at the same time. You can go into the transcription and delete certain words or whole sentences, and it will then delete that from the video or audio file.
Similarly, if you delete part of the audio, the text will disappear. So if somebody said something and you want to edit it out, you can just locate the exact part of what they said, highlight it, and then cut it. You can even scan through the document, see that someone said, "um," a lot, copy and cut the "ums," and boom, they disappear from the audio or video recording.
You don't have to capture your audio or video with the app; you can either upload it to the website or you can download the app and use it that way.
Descript has a basic free plan that gives you unlimited uploads and collaborators, and then you can pay a small fee for transcription past a certain amount. There is a producer tier and a higher-up team tier but the free plan is definitely worth checking out.
You can find this tool at descript.com.

Five Alternatives to a Natural Diamond for an Engagement Ring
adminon July 26, 2019 July 30, 2019 Leave a Comment on Five Alternatives to a Natural Diamond for an Engagement Ring
Engagement Ring Ideas
If you cannot afford to buy a natural diamond engagement ring for your lover, then you would want one set with a different gemstone. These gems look just like a diamond but cost a lot less than the latter.
Moissanite is a very rare gem, which is made up of meteorite fragment. It has a similar appearance to a diamond. Most moissanite gems are grown in laboratories these days because the natural counterparts are incredibly rare. Natural moissanite is not as durable as a diamond, but still has a score of 9.25 on the Mohs scale. The appearance of this gem is so similar to diamond that when Henri Moissan found it in 1893, he first thought it was a diamond. It is no wonder Henri Moissan was tricked – it takes a sharp eye to identify the difference between moissanite and diamonds.
Sapphires have deep blue shade, but these gems come in other colors including white. White sapphire is rare, but its blue counterpart has more demand. This means that white sapphires are extremely affordable than blue sapphires. White sapphire comes at a fraction of the price of a diamond. Look for white sapphire with 'AAA' quality rating and ensure that you are getting the natural gem, rather than one with synthetically altered color.
You may recognize topaz as an orange or blue gem, but it can also be white. Topaz scores 8 on the Mohs scale, and it is not as hard as sapphire or moissanite. That said, topaz can withstand everyday wear and tear pretty well. You will see small scratches on topaz over time, so the gem will be less stunning after a very long time. However, a one-carat white topaz will cost a lot less than a diamond, so its budget-friendliness cannot be denied.
When cut well, white zircon can rival the brilliance of diamonds. Be wary of white zircon gemstones which have been treated to enhance their color. Any jeweler worth their salt will reveal this information when you ask, and will give you a natural one instead. If you are popping the question in December, then this is the best birthstone for your December-born girl.
Lab-Created Diamond
Natural diamonds are the byproducts of extreme pressure and heat deep beneath the surface of the earth. Lab-made diamonds are exposed to the same circumstances, yet are made in a laboratory in just a few weeks. The best part is that affordable engagement rings have lab-created diamonds. These man-made stones are up to 30% affordable than their natural counterparts.

Q: How to make a statement that checks if something is divisible by something else without a remainder (BASH) #!/bin/bash

Echo "Enter a number"

Read  $number

If [$number ] ; then

Echo "Your number is divisible by 5"

Else

Echo "Your number is not divisible by 5"

fi

the if [$number] statement is what I don't know how to set up

A: You can use a simpler syntax in Bash than some of the others shown here:
#!/bin/bash
read -p "Enter a number " number    # read can output the prompt for you.
if (( $number % 5 == 0 ))           # no need for brackets
then
    echo "Your number is divisible by 5"
else
    echo "Your number is not divisible by 5"
fi

A: How about using the bc command:
!/usr/bin/bash

echo "Enter a number"
read number
echo "Enter divisor"
read divisor
remainder=`echo "${number}%${divisor}" | bc`
echo "Remainder: $remainder"

if [ "$remainder" == "0" ] ; then
        echo "Your number is divisible by $divisor"
else
        echo "Your number is not divisible by $divisor"
fi

A: Nagul's answer is great, but just fyi, the operation you want is modulus (or modulo) and the operator is generally %.

A: I have done it in a different way. Check if it works for you.
Example 1 :
num=11;
[ `echo $num/3*3 | bc` -eq $num ] && echo "is divisible" || echo "not divisible"
Output : not divisible

Example 2 :
num=12;
[ `echo $num/3*3 | bc` -eq $num ] && echo "is divisible" || echo "not divisible"
Output : is divisible

Simple logic.
12 / 3 = 4
4 * 3 = 12 --> same number
11 / 3 = 3
3 * 3 = 9 --> not same number

A: No bc needed as long as it's integer math (you'll need bc for floating point though):  In bash, the (( )) operator works like expr.
As others have pointed out the operation you want is modulo (%).
#!/bin/bash

echo "Enter a number"
read number

if [ $(( $number % 5 )) -eq 0 ] ; then
   echo "Your number is divisible by 5"
else
   echo "Your number is not divisible by 5"
fi

A: Just in the interest of syntax neutrality and mending the overt infix notation bias around these parts, I've modified nagul's solution to use dc.
!/usr/bin/bash

echo "Enter a number"
read number
echo "Enter divisor"
read divisor
remainder=$(echo "${number} ${divisor}%p" | dc)
echo "Remainder: $remainder"

if [ "$remainder" == "0" ]
then
        echo "Your number is divisible by $divisor"
else
        echo "Your number is not divisible by $divisor"
fi

A: You could also use expr like so:
#!/bin/sh

echo -n "Enter a number: "
read number
if [ `expr $number % 5` -eq 0 ]
then
    echo "Your number is divisible by 5"
else
    echo "Your number is not divisible by 5"
fi
