The Harpy Eagle

The Harpy Eagle

What is a Harpy Eagle?

harpy eagle is a large bird of prey. It is one of the world’s heaviest and most powerful birds. Imagine going a week without food! The harpy eagle has the ability to do this. Like many birds of prey, the harpy eagle is a patient hunter and can wait quietly in a tree before attacking prey.

The harpy eagle is a carnivore, which means it only eats meat. The large size of this bird allows it to easily attack and kill opossums, iguanas, and small deer, as well as tree-dwelling mammals such as monkeys and sloths.

Like all birds of prey, harpy eagles have sharp talons used for catching food.

What Do They Look Like?

Harpy eagles have grey feathers covering their wings, back, and head. They have a distinctive collar of black feathers around their neck, and their chests are white. Their legs are white with black stripes, and they can raise the feathers on their head when they feel threatened, similar to the way a cat raises its fur.

They are 35-41 inches tall. Females can be twice as big as their male counterparts, weighing up to 20 pounds, while a heavy male is around 10 pounds. While they might differ in size, males and females have the same color patterns, unlike males and females of other bird species.

Harpy eagles can tuft the hair on their heads when they feel threatened.

Where Do Harpy Eagles Live?

Harpy eagles live in the rainforests of Central and South America from Southern Mexico to northern Argentina. The early explorers to the rainforests of this area named the bird Harpyja, from Greek mythology, meaning half-woman, half-bird.

In Brazil, harpy eagles are called Royal Hawks, and they are also known as American harpy eagles in other parts of the world.

Because the harpy eagle eats mostly tree-dwelling animals, you can find this bird living in the canopy of the rainforest trees searching for prey and building nests.

Harpy eagles have very few predators, but they are experiencing the same loss of habitat through deforestation, poaching and hunting as other rainforest animals.

Harpy eagles live in the lower level of the rainforest rather than up in the canopy.

The harpy eagle (Harpia harpyja) is a neotropical species of eagle. It is also called the American harpy eagle to distinguish it from the Papuan eagle, which is sometimes known as the New Guinea harpy eagle or Papuan harpy eagle.[3] It is the largest and most powerful raptor found in the rainforest,[4] and among the largest extant species of eagles in the world. It usually inhabits tropical lowland rainforests in the upper (emergent) canopy layer. Destruction of its natural habitat has caused it to vanish from many parts of its former range, and it is nearly extirpated in Central America. In Brazil, the harpy eagle is also known as royal-hawk (in Portuguesegavião-real).[5]

Hurricane Michael became the most intense hurricane on record to strike the Florida Panhandle Wednesday, and among the most intense hurricanes to hit the U.S.

The storm is far from over. Heavy rain and strong winds are forecast to sweep through the Southeast Thursday before exiting the Mid-Atlantic coast Friday morning.

The storm made landfall early Wednesday afternoon in Mexico Beach, Fla., about 20 miles southeast of Panama City, as an extremely dangerous Category 4 hurricane. Eyewitness photos showed devastating damage in this area.

At landfall, the storm’s 155 mph peak winds ranked fourth highest on record for a hurricane hitting the continental U.S. and the pressure ranked third lowest (the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm), below even Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and Katrina in 2005.

    CREATING VALUE FROM ANONYMOUS SITE VISITORS

    How It Works
    We take anonymous site visitors’ IP addresses, and run them through our “Reverse Append” algorithm determining their physical home or office address.  Or put another way, we take unknown site visitor’s IP address, find their physical address, and allows brands to send them targeted direct mail pieces through one of IP Hyper Target Marketing’s select direct mail partners.

    IP Hyper Targeting Advantage
    Most contemporary digital products can only retarget with cookies online. We take the digital breadcrumbs created by visitors and allow our print partners to turn it into a physical mail piece, brochure, white paper, or catalog delivered to the prospect’s home within 48 – 72 hours of their web visit.  Additionally, when installed site-wide, we can use the data generated by these web visits to customize a variable print direct mail with attributes of the visit (e.g. use an image of a white car if the user configured a white car on your website).

    Hyper Sonic Sites

    NEBRASKA VOTER TURNOUT

    Background

    As part of the Get Out The Vote (GOTV) efforts for the 2016 general election, the Nebraska Civic Engagement Table (NCET) served targeted digital advertisements reminding people to get out and vote. The NCET worked with IP Hyper Targeting to match Nebraska voter registration rolls with IP address records. Digital advertisements reminding people to vote on phones, computers, and tablets were sent out using Hyper Sonic Sites IP Hyper Targeted robust and user-friendly platform.

    Campaign Results

    Of the 55,523 Nebraskans targeted, we were able to positively match the IP addresses of 35,141. Those 35k Nebraska voters received digital ads reminding them to vote starting the weekend before the election and continuing through Election Day. By comparing the voting behavior of those Nebraskans who received ads to that of those who didn’t, we can state with confidence that our vote reminder campaign increased voter participation in the 2016 election. Our vote reminders increased voting among those targeted by 3.14% which calculates out to an additional 500 plus votes cast by the Rising American Electorate as a result of this program. In financial terms, this campaign equated to only $22 per vote. Direct mail can cost more than $80 per vote!

    As you can see, IP targeting got Nebraskan voters out of their homes and offices, and to the polls! What’s more, IP targeting increases sales and conversions for more than just political elections- from automobiles to insurance, from pest control firms to gym memberships – IP Targeting works.

    Hyper Sonic Comprehensive Guide to Banner Ads

    Hyper Sonic Comprehensive Guide to Banner Ads

    Hyper Sonic Comprehensive Guide to Banner Ads

    One of the most important pieces of any advertising initiative is the creative. Within digital advertising, there are some creative sizes that serve impressions better than others. Below are guidelines concerning any banner creative uploaded into Hyper Sonic IP Targeting system. All creatives submitted through Hyper Sonic are audited externally for sufficient branding, content restrictions, false advertising, and proper functionality.

    File Size

    Keep in mind that the most optimal file size is anything at or under 40KB. However, we can work with files up to 80KB in size. Anything over 80KB creates a heavy limitation on the serving capacity of the creative, and will most likely fail to generate impressions.

    Branding

    The brand logo must be prominently displayed on the banner ad and consistent through all assigned landing pages. Below are two creatives- one with improper branding, and one with proper branding. As you can see, it’s just as simple as providing the proper brand logo somewhere in the ad.

    Most Common Display Ad Sizes

    • 250 x 250 – Square
    • 200 x 200 – Small Square
    • 468 x 60 – Banner
    • 728 x 90 – Leaderboard
    • 300 x 250 – Inline Rectangle
    • 336 x 280 – Large Rectangle
    • 120 x 600 – Skyscraper
    • 160 x 600 – Wide Skyscraper
    • 300 x 600 – Half-Page Ad
    • 970 x 90 – Large Leaderboard
    • 320 x 50 – Mobile leaderboard
    • 240 x 400 – Vertical rectangle
    • 320 x 480 – Vertical rectangle (alt)
    • 350 x 250 – Large rectangle (alt)
    • 640 x 100 – Leaderboard (alt)
    • 320 x 100 – Large mobile banner
    • 970 x 250 – Billboard
    • 300 x 1050 – Portrait
    • 300 x 50 – Mobile banner
    • 320 x 50 – Mobile banner (alt)
    • 320 x 100 – Mobile banner (large)
    • 300 x 250 – Large rectangle (alt)
    • 300 x 50 – Mobile leaderboard (alt)
    The only ad size that’s not available on desktop/tablet but is available on high-end mobile devices is:
    • 320 x 50 – Mobile Leaderboard


    Supported File Types:

    .jpg – Static

    .png – Static

    .gif – Animated

    We also support HTML 5 creatives.

     

    Creative Frames

    The image below shows all the creative sizes we support, as well as a graphical representation of the ad frame. The dimensions below are in pixels.

     

     

    Also known as a “medium rectangle“. Tends to have more ad inventory available from advertisers, which can increase earnings when both text and image ads are enabled.

    Performs well when embedded within text content or at the end of articles.

    Also known as a “large rectangle“. Tends to have more ad inventory available from advertisers, which can increase earnings when both text and image ads are enabled.

    Performs well when embedded within text content or at the end of articles.

    Also known as a “leaderboard“. Tends to have more ad inventory available from advertisers, which can increase earnings when both text and image ads are enabled.

    Performs well if placed above main content, and on forum sites.

    Sometimes referred to as a “half page“. This format provides a larger space for advertisers to get their message across and can offer users rich engagement.

    The 300×600 is one of the fastest growing sizes by impressions and is indicative of a trend where publishers are offering more visually impactful ad sizes that are preferred by brand advertisers.

    Also known as the “large mobile banner“. Can be used an an alternative to the 320×50 and the 300×250.

    These ads offer advertisers twice the height of our standard “mobile leaderboard”.

    Content Restrictions

    Following these guidelines will increase the efficiency in which your campaign is run and assist delivery of impressions in your digital advertising initiatives. If you have any other questions, please submit a support request within our portal.

      Captivating WordPress Theme for Bloggers

      So you’re just getting started on this new adventure and you have absolutely no idea what you’re doing?  Friend, you are not alone!  Many many people just like you walk this road every single day and the key is to just take it one step at a time.  It wasn’t that long ago that I was sitting right where you are, and have since learned everything I can get my hands on regarding design, code, and everything else involved in website creation.  I’m here to help guide you through this one baby step at a time. Imagine me sitting right along side you at my coffee table and we are doing this together… because my big fat God dream is to absolutely do that!

      STEP ONE: LET’S DECIDE ON A NAME

      Choosing a name for this big adventure you’re embarking on is no easy feat.  It takes time and patience to find that perfect name that fits your hearts desire.  It also takes time to find the perfect name that isn’t already taken!  That my friend, is the hardest part of this process.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come up with some brilliant business name and then I go check to see if the name is available and sure enough it’s not.  Before you let your heart get too settled on a specific name, you’ll want to do 2 things: Google it, and search to see if the domain is available.

      So what is a domain?  A domain is your address on the internet.  Just as you would give someone your mailing address for them to mail you a letter, you’ll want to give your friends a domain address to be able to find your online home. You can search domain names right here to see what is already taken and what is available.

      Why do we need to google the name?  If you want to name your new business Gold & Silver, but you google these words and several other businesses come up, you’re not only going to be competing for google ranking alongside those people with the same business name, you also may run into trademark issues depending on the nature of the other businesses with the same name.  Trust me, you don’t want to get months down the road and get a Cease & Desist letter because your business name is conflicting with someone else. Think of a unique name and take your time!

      Once you’ve decided on a name and have discovered the domain is available, it’s time to actually purchase that domain. You can use a service like GoDaddy to purchase your domain but more than likely you’re going to be ready to get your website started immediately, so I recommend moving to the next step and doing your domain and hosting all at the same time.

      STEP TWO: PURCHASE DOMAIN & HOSTING

      The next thing we want to do is secure that domain name that we’ve spent so much time thinking up.  There are a few hosting companies that allow you to get 1 free domain when you sign up for a hosting package, so I recommend doing this step all together.  If you’ve already purchased your domain elsewhere, don’t worry… I’ll cover that as well!

      So what is hosting? Let’s think of this like we discussed above with your domain being your address.  If you give someone your address to your home, your home is sitting on a piece of land.  The hosting is like the land for your online home.  It consist of servers, files, and databases that keep your site visible and on the internet.  No website exist without hosting.

      The two hosting companies that we recommend that give you 1 free domain name are SiteGround and Bluehost.  Both of these companies are great so you’re free to choose whichever one you’d like to work with.  For the sake of this guide, I’m going to be working with SiteGround because I’ve found that their process is very simple and easy to understand for someone just starting out, just like you!

      When you go to purchase hosting, you’re going to be asked which hosting package you’d like to select. I recommend that since we are going to be using WordPress (more on this later) that we choose on of the WordPress Hosting Packages. These packages get you started for very little start up cost, and again, includes your domain in the setup process.

      DIFFERENCES IN THE PLANS:

      StartUp – This package is good for one site and up to 10,000 visits a month and is the most basic plan they offer.
      GrowBig – With this plan you are able to host multiple websites within one account, get a free SSL Wildcard for 1 year, and their Backup and Restore service which I find to be very very important especially as a new site owner. Another great benefit that starts at this plan or higher, is their SuperCacher option which will greatly increase the speed of your site.
      GoGeek – This place includes all that you see above, as well as more storage space, allows for more site visitors,  and offers 1-click WP staging which is also a helpful feature if you’re one to change your site often.

        SOLAR ECLIPSE 2017

        SOLAR ECLIPSE 2017

        Get Ready for the Eclipse 2017

        Monday, August 21, 2017

        Seeing a total solar eclipse is truly the opportunity of a lifetime.  The last total solar eclipse to cross the United States occurred in the year 1918–nearly one hundred years ago. This next event happens during the school hours on Monday, August 21, 2017.

        Those who have experienced a total solar eclipse describe it as a “moment of awe”: during the 1918 eclipse, millions of Americans stopped what they were doing and looked up to see the sky going dark in the middle of the day! The air grew cool. Animals became confused. Stars suddenly became visible. At the moment of totality, flames of hot gas shooting off the sun’s edge became visible to the naked eye.

        UPDATE: Due to overwhelming demand, as of 3 Aug 12:00pm Pacific Time, all boxes of glasses have been requested and are shipping soon. We have removed the request form below, but there are still many free eclipse glasses available at local libraries. Check your local library on this map and contact them to see if they can give you any. Be aware that we are hearing from teachers that some libraries are limiting glasses to 1 per person. Alternately, here is an article with a list of retailers selling eclipse glasses.

        If you cannot easily get glasses from libraries or online retailers, our open-and-go lesson includes step-by-step instructions for how to create a pinhole viewer with classroom supplies so your students can at least still experience the solar eclipse.

        Watch Video’s Below for Instructions on how to Watch Eclipse the safe way.

        Click here for Tilt and Hole Sheet Download. 

        1. First, you need to be aware that where you are located in the U.S. matters. Everyone who is located in the “path of totality” as pictured on this map will experience full darkness during the eclipse—this is a total solar eclipse. If you are outside of the path of totality you can still watch the moon take “a bite” out of the sun. You need solar eclipse glasses for both experiences.

        2. Millions of glasses are being distributed for free at local community libraries. View the map to search for a library near you. Contact that library for details on how to get the glasses for your class.

        The STAR Library Education Network has developed this map as part of its Eclipse Resource Center. Thanks to NASA Library initiative and the Moore Foundation for this!
