50 Email Marketing Stats for 2021
Email marketing has been around for a good while. In fact, the first email marketing blast was sent in 1978 to 400 recipients- resulting in $13 million in sales!
While technology has come a long way since the '70s, email marketing hasn't gone anywhere. There's no browsing the internet without being asked to sign up for a newsletter in exchange for something, whether that's a discount, a free course, or one of the many other options.
The reason businesses are so keen to capture the emails of their visitors is because it works and can provide a lot of value from a relatively small investment.
But it's also important to understand what recipients expect from marketing emails– failing to do so will result in high unsubscribe rates and low engagement.

It's not everyday the Fohnhouse Cats find themselves wandering the same cobbled streets – seeing as how we are geographically challenged – but at the weekend Fohn and a couple of friends joined Martin in his home away from home for two days of Pitchfork-ing in Paris. Music, Jägerbombs and fine dining, mon dieu!
Kicking off at about 6pm, the Fohnhouse crew joined the Pitchfork party just in time to catch the last song from The War on Drugs. The American indie-rockers were then followed on stage by the band we were dying to see, Mogwai. With their instrumental, grand, dynamic pieces, the Scots were truly captivating. Fohn actually went to see James Blake too, the final act of Thursday night, but, sadly, his dulcet, electronic, occasional dubstep tones didn't float the whole crew's boat, and we were two men down by the end of the night. Two words: no taste!
Fohn was absent for the second day, but Martin and company returned, full of Jäger and pizza, for a second night of eclectic music. The first act we caught was Mø, who impressed us both with her enjoyably wacky songs and insane stage presence. She was followed by Chvrches, who opened with their addictive 'We Sink', ensuring that everybody was bouncing from the off. The next two acts disappear slightly into an alcoholic haze, but Saint Vincent inspired a euphoric response from the crowd, especially with 'Digital Witness', while Belle and Sebastian, definitely one of the biggest draws going by the size of the crowd, brought the house down with their rendition of 'Like Dylan in the Movies', which had Martin leaping. Not even Paris's notorious lack of available taxis (and subsequent 5 mile walk home) could put a dampener on his spirits!
Sadly, a wedding prevented us from attending the closing night (bleeding love!), but judging from what we saw over the first two nights, we'd be happy to return next year to do it all over again.

Cape St George Lighthouse
The Cape St George Lighthouse was doomed from its very inception. A result of official bungling and lack of supervision, its light lasted for less than 40 years, after which it was unceremoniously destroyed.
Recommended in 1856, controversy surrounded this light before construction had even began and completed in 1860. Decisions on the need for a light and its location were made without even consulting the Pilots Board, the controlling authority, about the efficiency of a light at that location.
The problem was that the light was not visible from the Northern approach to Jervis Bay, and would barely be visible from the southern approach. Furthermore, the original map and marking of the proposed lighthouse location were so inaccurate that later there were doubts as whether the light had been erected on the selected sight. On top of this inaccuracy the contractor seems to have built the light closer to the quarry he was obtaining the stone from! In fact when inspected by members of the Pilots board it was found to be two and a half miles north of the intended site.
A Select Committee was established by the New South Wales Government to investigate the errors in locating the lighthouse.
From 1864 to 1893 there were twenty three ships wrecked on the South Coast of NSW in the vicinity of Jervis Bay.

continued from above …
The light was eventually replaced in 1889 by a new lighthouse at Point Perpendicular, a much more suitable location for a lighthouse on this part of the coast. The lantern was removed and later used in the Crookhaven Heads Lighthouse built in 1904.
After the commissioning of the new light it was considered that the confusion of having two towers in close proximity to one another would be a hazard to mariners in daylight. As a result, the Cape St George Tower was unceremoniously used from 1917 to 1922 for target practice by the Australian Navy and destroyed.
The ruin of Cape St George lighthouse is perhaps the most significant European site in the Booderee National Park. The ruin was listed on the National Estate Register in 1981 in recognition of the ruin's important setting, stonework and as a relic of early European occupation.
The lighthouse staff and their families also were affected by tragedy.
In 1895, Edward Bailey, the Chief Lighthouse Keeper was fishing about 3km south of the lighthouse with two of his sons when he was washed off the rocks and drowned leaving a large family of eleven children. Edward a strong swimmer was heading for the shore when he disappeared beneath the waves. The boys had earlier noticed three large sharks swimming close by and it was thought that they might have taken him.
His son Arthur took over his father's position and continued to rear his brothers and sisters. Another son Edward became the Head Lighthouse keeper at Pt. Perpendicular when it opened in 1899.
Harriet Parker daughter of second light house keeper accidentally shot dead in 1887 by Kate Gibson the head keeper's daughter.

Cody Michael Payne Scarpetta (born August 25, 1988) is a former minor league baseball pitcher. A second-generation minor league pitcher, he is the son of Dan Scarpetta (Brewers, Rangers, and Dodgers) and the nephew of Dennis Scarpetta (Phillies). His cousin Brett was drafted by the White Sox (18th rd 2005) and the Braves (38th round, 2006) but did not sign.

Scarpetta was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 11th round of the 2007 amateur entry draft out of Guilford High School, signing him away from Creighton University on a $125,000 signing bonus. His original contract was voided, however, when it was discovered he needed surgery on his finger. He was signed to a new, one-year minor league contract, and could've become a minor league free agent after his first year, but that option was eliminated when the Brewers placed him on their roster, also protecting him from the Rule V Draft.

In 2008, he split the season between the Rookie league Arizona Brewers and Helena Brewers, going 2-0 in 12 appearances (8 starts) with a 2.23 ERA, striking out 58 in 36.1 innings. He pitched 2009 with Single-A Wisconsin, where in 26 appearances (18 starts), he went 4-11 with a 3.43 ERA, striking out 116 in 105 innings. He was promoted to High-A Brevard County, where in 27 starts, he went 7-12 with a 3.87 ERA, striking out 142 in 128 innings. After the season, he was named the 4th best prospect in the Brewers organization by Baseball America. Scarpetta began 2011 with Double-A Huntsville, where in 23 starts, he went 8-5 with a 3.85 ERA, striking out 98 in 117 innings.

He was called up to the majors on July 10, 2011, but did not pitch, and was sent down the next day. After the season, he played with the Peoria Javelinas of the Arizona Fall League, and he struggled, going 0-3 in 4 starts with a 19.64 ERA. He was named the 7th best prospect in the Brewers organization by Baseball America. Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery kept him from playing in the 2012 season. He returned to baseball on June 2, 2013 with Brevard County. In 11 starts he went 0-5 with a 7.15 ERA and 36 walks in 34 innings. Scarpetta was released from the Brewers on December 21, 2013.

Scarpetta began 2014 with the independent Atlantic League's Lancaster Barnstormers, where he made 8 starts, going 0-3 with a 5.13 ERA, striking out 37 in 40.1 innings before being picked up by the Atlanta Braves on June 12, 2014. He was assigned to High-A Lynchburg.

He was released by the York Revolution on May 28, 2016, and signed with the St. Paul Saints of the American Association later that same day.

'The Lion King,' 'Toy Story 4' help boost Disney's profit

NEW YORK -- Walt Disney Co. on Thursday reported fiscal fourth-quarter net income that beat Wall Street's expectations thanks to strong theatre revenue from films like "The Lion King" and "Toy Story 4," along with higher parks revenue.
The results came as Disney readies for the debut Tuesday of its Disney Plus streaming service.
Disney's net income for the three months ended Sept. 28 fell to $1.05 billion, or 58 cents per share, from $2.32 billion, or $1.55 per share last year.
Adjusted for one-time items, its net income totalled $1.07 per share. Analysts had expected net income of 94 cents per share, according to FactSet. The strong showing came as Disney faced costs related to its $71 billion purchase of Fox's entertainment assets during the quarter.
Shares in the entertainment giant, which is based in Burbank, California, rose more than 5% in after-hours trading following the earnings report.
The company's quarterly revenue, meanwhile, rose 34% to $19.1 billion, nearly matching analyst expectations of $19.18 billion.
Disney Plus is launching for $7 a month with five content categories: Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic. It will also house 30 seasons of "The Simpsons," a new Star Wars original show "The Mandalorian," and its animated classics like "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and "Pinocchio."
More companies -- from AT&T to NBC -- are rolling out streaming services as consumers "cut the cord," dropping their subscriptions to cable and satellite TV. The trick for the companies is finding the balance between investing heavily in the nascent services and drumming up enough subscribers and advertisers to offset those costs.
Disney CEO Bob Iger said in a call with analysts that Disney Plus will have 620 movies, 10,000 TV episodes and numerous short features by its fifth year. It is targeting 60 million to 90 million subscribers by that time.
It will be offered by Apple, Google, Microsoft, Sony and Roku's streaming-distribution platforms. It also announced Thursday that Amazon Fire, Samsung and LG will also offer the service.
Disney tested Disney Plus in the Netherlands for free in September without its original content. Iger said the test showed that those using it were not just kids and families -- adults used it too. The ability to download without restriction and stream across four screens concurrently were popular features.

The effervescent CARDI B, a fiery EMINEM and an earnest CHANCE THE RAPPER stole the show at last night's iHEARTRADIO MUSIC AWARDS at L.A.'s FABULOUS FORUM, which suddenly took a turn for the political, even if, for the most part, the focus was where it should be -- the artists and the music.
CARDI B was named BEST NEW ARTIST and opened the show with G-EAZY for a spectacular "No Limit," but it was her charming acceptance speech which won the most admirers. The evening's other big winners, ED SHEERAN (SONG OF THE YEAR and MALE ARTIST OF THE YEAR) and TAYLOR SWIFT (FEMALE ARTIST OF THE YEAR) were represented on the telecast with remotes. SHEERAN performed for a street crowd in MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, while SWIFT introduced the premiere of her new music video, "Delicate."
As for the other performances, EMINEM's "Nowhere Fast" with KEHLANI, ignited the crowd during the live telecast on TBS, TNT and TRUTV. DJ KHALED and HAILEY BALDWIN (in a "STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH" T-shirt) co-hosted.
MARSHALL MATHERS' rousing turn followed a stirring speech by one of the students from PARKLAND, FL's embattled MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL decrying gun violence, introduced by BIG SEAN.
CHANCE THE RAPPER had previously struck a positive tone in accepting the INNOVATOR award from PHARRELL, humbly insisting, "I didn't invent independence for artists," then giving nods to JAMES BROWN, RAY CHARLES, PRINCE, and, after seeing the "Women's Rights" message emblazoned on WILLIAMS' t-shirt, NICKI MINAJ, TAYLOR SWIFT and BEYONCE for breaking artistic barriers.
The first televised award went to THE CHAINSMOKERS f/COLDPLAY's "Something Just Like This" for BEST COLLABORATION.
CAMILA CABELLO was pretty in pink -- sunglasses, elbow-length gloves, gown and thigh-high boots -- for a spectacular '30s HOLLYWOOD-style production number with YOUNG THUG for her huge hit, "HAVANA." She later received the FANGIRLS AWARD for her work in empowering young women and immigration reform.
Introduced by comic/"Pitch Perfect" star ADAM DEVINE and red-hot, masked producer MARSHMELLO, MAROON 5 then performed "Wait," with ADAM LEVINE's falsetto dominating, in front of a ROY LICHTENSTEIN pop-art-styled backdrop.
OLYMPIAN SHAUN WHITE presented BON JOVI with the iHEARTRADIO ICON AWARD, as the soon-to-be ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME inductees launched into an OG medley of chestnuts from their vast catalog in 2003's "It's My Life" and 1986's "You Give Love a Bad Name," complete with vintage vocoder. A humble JON notably thanked,iHEART's TOM POLEMAN, JOHN SYKES and JOHN IVEY for the honor.
The evening's final televised award went to D.J, KHALED's "Wild Thoughts," featuring RIHANNA and BRYSON TILLER, which garnered HIP-HOP SONG OF THE YEAR.
A newly tousle-haired CHARLIE PUTH came out from behind the piano to preview his upcoming tour with a spirited performance of "How Long," while PHARRELL and N.E.R.D. brought the evening to a suitably rousing close with a "Lemon" dance.
LUIS FONSI and DADDY YANKEE's "Despacito" remix featuring JUSTIN BEIBER was the top nominee, receiving a total of seven each, including SONG OF THE YEAR, BEST COLLABORATION, LATIN SONG OF THE YEAR, LATIN ARTIST OF THE YEAR, BEST LYRICS, BEST MUSIC VIDEO and BEST REMIX. .
RIHANNA, BRUNO MARS, DJ KHALED, KHALID, SHAWN MENDES, TAYLOR SWIFT, THE CHAINSMOKERS, ED SHEERAN and CAMILA CABELLO all received five nominations each. For a complete list of winners, go here.

Refinement and Testing of an E85 Split Parallel EREV
Published April 16, 2012 by SAE International in United States
Event: SAE 2012 World Congress & Exhibition
The Hybrid Electric Vehicle Team of Virginia Tech (HEVT) is participating in the 2009 - 2011 EcoCAR: The NeXt Challenge Advanced Vehicle Technology Competition series organized by Argonne National Lab (ANL), and sponsored by General Motors Corporation (GM), and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Following GM's Vehicle Development Process (VDP), HEVT established team goals that meet or exceed the competition requirements for EcoCAR in the design of a plug-in extended range hybrid electric vehicle. The competition requires participating teams to re-engineer a stock crossover utility vehicle donated by GM. The result of this design process is an Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) that uses grid electric energy and E85 fuel for propulsion. The vehicle design has achieved an SAE J1711 utility factor corrected fuel consumption of 2.9 L(ge)/100 km (82 mpgge) with an all-electric range of 87 km (54 miles) [1]. Using E85 fuel (corn-based in North America for the 2015 timeframe), the well-to-wheels petroleum energy use and greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by 91% and 18% respectively when compared to the stock 4-cylinder gasoline-fueled vehicle.
In year 2 of EcoCAR, HEVT focused on the integration of components, while year 3 was focused on refinements. The integration and refinements of years 2 and 3 were focused on meeting the Vehicle Technical Specifications (VTS) established at the beginning of the design process in year 1. This paper will detail the refinements made to the VTREX, explain why the changes were made, and describe the improvements or tradeoffs that had to be made for the vehicle to run reliably. Vehicle test data will be presented from year 2 competition, year 3 competition, dynamometer testing and on-road testing around the Virginia Tech campus. These test results will illustrate how the changes in powertrain components, mechanical integration and controls logic helped the vehicle to meet its target specifications. The test results will also show how accurately the simulations and models that were used to form the VTS matched real world performance.

The chronology of a family, their cuisine and their gastronomic project
Cal Blay history is the one with a trajectory that was born more than thirty years ago but it still maintains today, intact, the illusion to innovate, serve and satisfy the clients through the gastronomy. With gastronomic roots based on traditional Catalan cuisine, for more than three decades we have opened new horizons, betting not only on experimentation or creativity in our dishes, but also by the multitude of ways to offer them, transforming that humble and small family restaurant opened in 1982 in a gastronomic company with a catering service for weddings, events and wine tourism activities.
The origins of Cal Blay go back to the moment when Pere Carda and Maria Torner started a new stage in the most emblematic place of Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, initially offering only the bar service.
Cal Blay
The Carda-Torner couple, with its four children, opens its restaurant with the aim of offering honest and traditional cuisine but looking for a high gastronomic level.
Years after the inauguration of the Cal Blay restaurant, it begins with the catering service for schools and events, prelude and germ of the transformation that the company will carry out with the turn of the century.
With the children already incorporated into the business, a line of customized catering services is set up and specialized in weddings or corporate events. It is the great company transformation, from being a humble restaurant with traditional cuisine to becoming an imposing company in the field of quality cuisine.
New headquarters
In Sant Pere de Riudebitlles, a new and more modern headquarters are opened, where central kitchens, offices, the logistics center and, above all, the area of research and culinary creativity are located.
Cal Blay Vinticinc Restaurant
In Sant Sadurní d'Anoia's heart, a few meters from the site of the original restaurant, Cal Blay Vinticinc restaurant is inaugurated. The space, located in an old modernist warehouse, has several rooms and a decoration inspired by the cava world.
Located in a privileged environment at the foot of the Subirats Castle and with unbeatable views of the Penedès, El Mirador de les Cavas becomes the ideal place for gastronomy in the middle of vineyards.

Dear Avaaz community,
This may be the most important email I've written to you. Scientists have found that vast areas of Arctic sea ice are disappearing, accelerating the destruction of our planet -- it is a climate tipping point and we CAN stop it, if we act very fast, and all together. We have 30 months until the biggest climate summit ever. To win it, we need to blast out of the starting gate. Click below to pledge a donation of $1 to help us get there:
This may be the most important email I've ever written to you.
Scientist Julienne Stroeve has studied Arctic ice for decades. Every summer she travels north to measure how much ice has melted. She knows that climate change is melting the ice fast, but on her last trip, she couldn't believe what she saw. Vast areas of Arctic ice have disappeared, beyond our worst expectations.
This is what the experts warned us about. As the earth warms, it creates many "tipping points" that accelerate the warming out of control. Warming thaws the Arctic sea ice, destroying the giant white 'mirror' that reflects heat back into space, which massively heats up the ocean, and melts more ice, and so on. We spin out of control. Already this year -- storms, temperatures -- everything is off the charts.
We CAN stop this, if we act very fast, and all together. And out of this extinction nightmare, we can pull one of the most inspiring futures for our children and grandchildren. A clean, green future in balance with the earth that gave birth to us.
We have 30 months until the Paris Summit, the meeting that world leaders have decided will determine the fate of our efforts to fight climate change. It might seem like a long time - it's not. We have 30 months to get the right leaders in power, get them to that meeting, give them a plan, and hold them accountable. And it's us vs. the oil companies, and fatalism. We can win, we must, but we need to blast out of the starting gate with pledges of just $1 per week until the summit -- we'll only process the donations if we hit our goal. For the world we dream of, let's make it happen:
https://secure.avaaz.org/en/30_months_en_nd_rd_123/?bFUIrab&v=26200
Fatalism on climate change is not just futile, it's also incompetent. The hour is late, but it is still absolutely within our power to stop this catastrophe, simply by shifting our economies from oil and coal to other sources of power. And doing so will bring the world together like never before, in a deep commitment and cooperation to protect our planetary home. It's a beautiful possibility, and the kind of future Avaaz was born to create.
Facing this challenge will take heart, and hope, and also all the smarts we have. Here's the plan:
1. Go Political: Elect Climate Leaders -- 5 crucial countries have elections in the next 30 months. Let's make sure the right people win, and with the right mandate. Avaaz is one of the only major global advocacy organizations that can be political. And since this fight will be won or lost politically, it could be at some points just us vs. the oil companies to decide who our politicians listen to.
2. Make Hollande a Hero -- French President Francois Hollande will chair the Paris summit - a powerful position. We have to try every tactic and channel -- his personal friends and family, his political constituency, his policy advisors -- to make him the hero we need him to be to make the summit a success.
3. Take it to the Next Level -- The scale of this crisis demands action that goes beyond regular campaigning. It's time for powerful, direct, non-violent action, to capture imagination, convey moral urgency, and inspire people to act. Think Occupy.
4. Out the Spoilers -- Billionaires like the Koch brothers and their oil companies are the major spoilers in climate change - funding junk science to confuse us and spending millions on misleading PR, while buying politicians wholesale. With investigative journalism and more, we need to expose and counter their horrifically irresponsible actions.
5. Define the Deal -- Even in the face of planetary catastrophe, 195 governments in a room can be just incompetent. We need to invest in top quality policy advice to develop ingenious strategies, mechanisms, and careful compromises so that when the summit arrives, a critical mass of leaders are already bought in to a large part of the deal, and no one can claim that good solutions don't exist.
We need tens of thousands of us to pledge small donations to blast out of the starting gate on this plan. The amount doesn't matter as much as much as the choice - to hope, and to act:
At the last major climate summit in Copenhagen 2009, we played a pivotal role in German and Japanese 'climate' elections, in shifting Brazilian policy, and in helping win a major global deal on financing, with rich countries promising $100 billion per year to poor countries to help them address climate change. Back then, Avaaz was 3 million people. After Copenhagen, we reflected that we needed to be a lot bigger to meet the challenge posed by climate change. Now, we're 23 million, and growing by 1 million per month.
Climate change is the ultimate global collective action problem, requiring cooperation from every government in the world. And Avaaz is the ultimate collective action solution, with millions of us united in common vision across every nation. This is our time, to build a world for our children that's beauty matches our dreams. Let's get started.
With hope and appreciation for this amazing community,
Ricken and the entire Avaaz team

Jean-Alfred Gagné (April 17, 1842 – August 8, 1910) was a lawyer, merchant, judge and political figure in Quebec. He represented Chicoutimi—Saguenay in the House of Commons of Canada from 1882 to 1887 as a Conservative member.

He was born in La Malbaie, Canada East, the son of Jean Gagné and Christine Blackburn and was educated at the Seminaire de Québec.  Gagné was called to the Lower Canada bar in 1864 and set up practice in Chicoutimi. In 1864, he married Marie Emilie Louise Guay, the sister of Joseph-Dominique Guay. Gagné was an unsuccessful candidate in the 1872 and 1878 federal elections. He was defeated when he ran for reelection in 1887. In 1889, he was named a judge in the Quebec Superior Court for Chicoutimi district. He died in Quebec City at the age of 68.

Home > Insights > Blogs > Food Fight > Kind Bar MDL plaintiffs appeal federal district court smack down

After seven years of contentious (not to mention costly) litigation, in September 2022, the federal district judge overseeing the In re: Kind LLC "Healthy and Natural" multi-district litigation decertified three state classes of Kind bar consumers and granted Kind's motion for summary judgment. At issue is Kind's labelling of certain granola bars and snacks as "ALL NATURAL / NON GMO." Plaintiffs in several states contend that KIND bars contain GMOs and other unnatural ingredients (and thus any natural claim is false), filing suit under state false advertising statutes.[1] Several actions were consolidated into the MDL and transferred to the Southern District of New York for pre-trial proceedings. In 2020, the MDL court certified three Rule 23(b)(3) damages classes (one for each state where the consumers had brought their products and filed their actions: New York, California, and Florida).
All three state false advertising statutes use a "reasonable consumer" test in determining whether a label is deceptive or misleading. To prevail under these statutes, a plaintiff must prove that a significant number of reasonable consumers could be misled by the label claim. Judge Naomi Buchwald granted Kind's motion for summary judgment for two reasons:
Plaintiffs failed to produce evidence of a reasonable consumer's understanding of "All Natural" in the Kind bar context, and
Plaintiffs failed to produce evidence that the products fall outside of the reasonable consumer's understanding of "All Natural."
The biggest concern for the Court was that there is no objective definition of "All Natural." In 2015, the Food and Drug Administration solicited opinions and comments from the public to create a definition for the term "natural," but has only issued guidance so far. The FDA remarked that there was "evidence that consumers regard many uses of this term as non-informative."[2] Even the plaintiffs in Kind could not agree on what it means—their definitions ranging from "made from whole nuts, fruits, and grains" to "pull[ed] out of the Earth" or "untouched." Clearly, no food processed in any manner could be considered "pulled from the Earth" or even "untouched." This lack of uniformity or consensus among the class representatives created a highly subjective definition that could not meet the objective consumer test. As the Court noted, under the plaintiffs' theory of the case, any plaintiff could define "natural" in any way that renders any food unnatural, thereby ensuring victory for a false advertising claim.
Perhaps an easier route for the plaintiffs would have been to define "all natural" as meaning "no GMOs,"[3] which was the definition that Judge William Pauley accepted as plausible from the plaintiffs at class certification. This singular definition is what satisfied the predominance standard in rule 23(b)(3) because, in Judge Pauley's view, it created a question that was subject to common proof: "if a challenged product contained a GMO, it would fail to be 'All Natural.'" However, the plaintiffs abandoned their GMO misrepresentation claims as the case progressed, instead focusing only on the "natural" portion of the label. The court seemed to treat the two terms as synonymous; the label had "All Natural" and "Non GMO" in the same line separated with a slash, which, in the courts eyes, essentially meant "and/or." Judge Buchwald stated that this abandonment "undercut" the plaintiffs' argument of how consumers viewed the label. Plaintiffs' abandonment of the "Non GMO" claim was also the reason the class was decertified:
Now that plaintiffs have abandoned their "Non GMO" claim and completed discovery, it is clear that they cannot demonstrate that "the questions of law or fact common to class members predominate over any questions affecting only individual members, and that a class action is superior to other available methods for fairly and efficiently adjudicating the controversy."
In re KIND LLC Healthy & All Natural Litig., No. 15-MC-2645 (NRB), 2022 WL 4125065, at *16 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 9, 2022).
So what are takeaways for consumers and companies considering "natural" claims? One view is that, until the FDA issues a regulation defining "All Natural," consumers' roving and subjective definitions will not satisfy the objective consumer test. As the court noted, the FDA's decision to seek comments on a definition, "demonstrates that the phrase is subject to numerous and distinct definitions, without a single objective meaning to consumers." Opinion, p. 8. And, in the FDA's own words, there is: "evidence that consumers regard many uses of this term as non-informative."
Another view is that the mistakes made by the Kind plaintiffs can be remedied in other litigation. It is possible that expert testimony could be used to establish an objective standard, but plaintiffs' experts will have to do a better job than those in Kind. Both of the Kind plaintiffs' experts were disqualified: one for relying entirely on a biased survey that used leading questions, and one for too generalized an opinion to be relevant about the "elements of naturalness" present in the products. Without expert testimony or a definition supplied by the FDA, the defense was entitled to summary judgment. The Kind plaintiffs have appealed the district court's judgment to the Second Circuit.

Jonathan Wells on Lents's claim that the human eye is wired backwards
Darwinism Design inference Human evolution Intelligent Design
Posted on May 12, 2018 Author NewsComments(3)
From Jonathan Wells at ENST:
… Dr. Lents just published his own book titled Human Errors, in which he repeats on page 5 his claim that the human eye is badly designed because the photoreceptor cells "appear to be installed backward."
Over thirty years ago, Richard Dawkins had used this claim as an argument for Darwinian evolution in his 1986 book The Blind Watchmaker. Since then the argument has been repeated by evolutionary biologists George Williams, Kenneth R. Miller, Douglas Futuyma, and Jerry Coyne, among others.
But even before Dawkins published his claim in 1986, scientists writing in standard textbooks on eye physiology had shown why the "backwards retina" is functionally better than its opposite. Those scientists and textbooks included Gordon Walls in The Vertebrate Eye (Hafner, 1963); Sidney Futterman in Adler's Physiology of the Eye (Mosby, 1975); and Paul Henkind, Richard Hansen, and Jeanne Szalay in Physiology of the Human Eye and the Visual System (Harper & Row, 1979). Abundant evidence that Dawkins's claim was false had also been published in scientific journals in 1967, 1969, 1973, and 1985.More.
The evidence actually doesn't matter because the mere fact that a prominent Darwinist makes and repeats the claim creates credibility for it. Nature's input is desirable, of course, but not really necessary. Another Skeptic will make the same claim in three years, probably, with even more evidence against it, which also won't matter.
Note: Lents's book, calling the human eye and other body parts are poorly designed is Human Errors: A Panorama of Our Glitches, from Pointless Bones to Broken Genes:
See also: At Skeptic: Five Questions about Human Errors for Proponents of Intelligent Design Lents: "The one thing that a species absolutely must be able to do is reproduce, so this is an area that humans must have mastered, right? Not even close. In fact, humans may be the least fertile of the apes." One wonders, in that case, how the Population Bomb movement ever got started or why … But that's clearly not a question that a Skeptical reader would ask.

polistra says:
Wells talks about the need to nourish the rods and cones. There's more to it. The photosensors are behind glial cells that run through the retina. The transparent glial cells act like fiberoptic lenses, focusing and filtering each 'pixel' of the incoming light to favor the specific color of the photoreceptor at the back.
Seversky says:
The argument is that if human engineers can see ways in which the "design" of something like the human eye could be improved then to what extent can it be held up as evidence of the handiwork of some alien designer who was presumably more advanced millions of years ago than we are now?
And the fact remains that in the fovea – the small 'pit' in the retina which provides the sharpest vision – all the 'plumbing' and 'wiring' is drawn aside. This suggests that even the putative alien designer recognized that the best vision was created by allowing the image-forming light an uninterrupted path to the sensors in the retina.
LocalMinimum says:
Seversky @ 2:
I'd hope most engineers would know better than to pointlessly blab about how a system they have no experience designing and only partly understand the workings of was done "wrong". A lot of biologists don't, obviously.
Looking at work that you don't and can't do and naming everything you'd do better on the basis of your inexperience and ignorance is everything it sounds like.
Suboptimality is an article of Darwinian faith. It only hinders real science by burdening the reverse engineering of these still mysterious systems with trashy assumptions, as proven time and time again with items like "vestigial organs", "junk DNA", and the "backwards eye".
It's just another revolving failure of evolutionary prediction/"theory".
