Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth (SIBO) and IBS
You’ve tried everything. You’ve spent countless hours on Google researching how to alleviate those annoying and uncomfortable symptoms of gas, bloating, distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and/or constipation. You’ve experimented with numerous herbal supplements, digestive enzymes and probiotics claiming to cure your IBS once and for all. Maybe you’ve even tried cutting out various foods – dairy, gluten, sugar with no real results. Does this sound familiar?
Why hasn’t anything worked? I explored this problem in detail in the article Why Don’t I Feel Better Yet? Truth is, there are a variety of reasons why you may not feel better yet.
The first thing I must tell you is to please go and see your doctor. If you have seen him/her already or haven’t been there yet, this is the place to start. It’s important to go back to your doctor after you’ve made changes and haven’t seen improvement. There may be additional tests your doctor can run to diagnose another condition. We want to make sure you cover all your bases and don’t get left out in the cold by yourself to suffer.
Ok, so you’ve seen your doctor. Now it’s time to ask… have you heard of SIBO?
SIBO or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth is a type of gut disorder that was only discovered recently. It can be responsible for symptoms that are very similar to the symptoms of IBS, however, unlike IBS which is managed well by following a low FODMAP diet, SIBO often needs to be treated differently.
What is SIBO?
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth is a condition where abnormally high numbers of bacteria usually found in the colon (large intestine) start to grow in the small intestine.
The entire gastrointestinal tract, including the small intestine, normally contains bacteria. If you need a gut anatomy refresher, my article ‘3 Things You Need to Know About Your Gut’ is a great place to start. Most of the bacteria in the digestive system lives in the colon, with very little bacteria living in the small intestine. If the wrong kind of bacteria starts getting cozy and residing in your small intestine (especially the types that belong in the colon!) you are likely to experience symptoms like gas, pain and bloating.
Does SIBO cause IBS?
SIBO does not cause IBS. Research still hasn’t identified the exact cause of IBS, however we do have some idea of what can be contributing to the onset and existence of IBS – I have a whole video blog dedicated to the current theories about the causes of IBS if you are interested in learning more!
Research shows that people with IBS have a higher risk of developing SIBO. There are also many other factors that increase your likelihood of developing SIBO, like various disorders of the digestive tract, having had surgery on some part of the gut, and some chronic diseases. What is especially interesting and applicable to you is that researchers have found that SIBO tends to occur more frequently in females with IBS-D who experience bloating.
SIBO is a complicated condition that is often overlooked as a cause of digestive upset because we don’t really know that much about it yet. Also, because its symptoms are shared with many other digestive disorders, it is hard to diagnose it in a doctor’s office. Many family physicians may feel uncomfortable with the diagnosis and treatment of SIBO, so you may need to bring this concept to their attention and find an alternative lab for testing.
Typical clinical symptoms of SIBO include: abdominal bloating and distention, pain, frequent belching and flatulence, chronic diarrhea and weight loss. On top of experiencing these symptoms, doctors need to do one of two tests to diagnose SIBO. On rare occasion, a doctor might get a small sample of bacteria from your small intestine to diagnose SIBO; however, because this process is quite invasive to get a sample, most people get breath testing done to confirm diagnosis. Although the bacteria sample tends to be more accurate, it is easier and more convenient for people to do the breath test. It’s quick, easy and painless! To complete the breath test, you usually have to drink a liquid containing a specific type of sugar that the bacteria in your gut love to feed on. The breath test measures the levels of gas produced by the bacteria in your gut as they breaking down the sugary drink. This will help your doctor decide whether or not you could have SIBO and how to proceed with treatment.
If you think you have SIBO, the first step is to talk to your doctor and confirm diagnosis potentially with a breath test.
So, your test comes back positive and you’ve just been diagnosed with SIBO, what happens next? Research tells us that currently the best treatment option is taking antibiotics (prescribed from your doctor) for a period of time. The antibiotic treatment should kill off all of the invading bacteria in the small intestine to help get you (and your gut!) heal.
Emerging research is also telling us that the low FODMAP diet may also be helpful in reducing some of the symptoms of SIBO. Because the diet eliminates poorly digested sugars, it could prevent the invading bacteria in the small intestines from fermenting the sugars and worsening symptoms of bloating, gas and pain. More research needs to be done to determine whether the diet directly impacts symptoms of SIBO – but it is pretty cool that the low FODMAP diet could possibly help others with digestive disorders besides IBS! (well, we think it’s pretty cool 😉 )
Think you may have SIBO or wondering why symptoms are still being triggered? If you are stuck and feel like you need some help, I would by happy to support you. If you’re looking for support and more information to help you with the Low FODMAP diet, identifying triggers and better managing digestive symptoms then read more about the CLAIRITY Program. This is the best way to work with me in the program I offer to meet you where you are, provide you with credible, up-to-date advice and information to get you feeling better and get back to enjoying your life.

Girls Allowed Back at the Processed Pea
One of the most talked-about young female bands on the UK acoustic scene – TINY TIN LADY are returning to this area on Tuesday 6th May at 8.30pm when they will perform at acoustic music venue The Processed Pea – held at The Light Dragoon Pub in Etton nr Beverley.
The quartet – all just in their early twenties – has been winning acclaim everywhere for their unique and bewitching blend of brilliant, original songs, thrilling harmonies and memorable performances. Bandleader, songwriter and guitarist, Danni Gibbins, is being commended as one of the most promising and original new writers of her generation. She shares vocal duties with sister Beth and the blend of the sibling voices makes for compelling listening. The line up is completed by bassist, Helen Holmes whose rootsy, funky playing provides a solid foundation for Danni’s guitar work while fiddle player Katrina Gilmore weaves between the instruments and adds vocal harmonies.
Together since February 2004, they have performed at over 30 festivals including Glastonbury Acoustic Stage and Fairport Convention’s Cropredy Festival. At Cropredy the Fairports played along with the girls onstage and later invited them to be part of their 40th anniversary tour.
Processed Pea organiser Martin Peirson explained “We were impressed by the girls debut appearance here and just had to have them back. When people like Richard Thompson and Ralph McTell have great things to say about them there is a bit of a clue that they are a cut above the rest!”
Tickets (£8) are available in advance from Beverley Tourist Information & Costcutter Cherry Burton .
Telephone reservation /info: 01430 810669.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)
This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application No. 60/803,857, filed Jun. 3, 2006, which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth.
The computer mouse, a hand-operated electronic pointing and selecting device, has become a necessary component of the modern personal computer. Since nearly all personal computing software applications benefit from user inputs from a pointing and selecting device, most personal computer users presently use a mouse for interacting with a computer display. The modern mouse typically includes a bottom-mounted optical sensor or track ball for tracking, top-mounted push buttons for selecting, and a top-mounted wheel or other control device for scrolling. In many cases, lighted indicia are included to provide operation status or other information.
While computer mice have become ubiquitous in the world of personal computing, most commercially available mice possess the same basic external form and features, often with little variation among them. Since commercially available mice are often produced in a form which is a compromise to satisfy the average computer user, many less average users are unable to find a mouse which can satisfy their needs for a comfortable, durable or aesthetically pleasing device. More often than not, different users have different personal preferences or requirements with regard to the size, shape, and durability of their computer mouse. A computer user wishing to own a mouse which incorporates the latest electronics or other special internal features may be especially limited with respect to choice of size and overall external form of the device.
It would be desirable to provide a cover which can change the external form of a computer mouse while retaining the functionality of all of the features of the mouse. While mouse covers are known, none of the known covers are capable of changing the external form of a mouse while allowing all of the features of the typical mouse to be used as originally intended.
The present invention provides a cover for covering a computer mouse. The cover includes a chassis which defines a mouse receiving area and a shell connected to the chassis further defining the mouse receiving area. The shell includes a moveable touch area for contacting a first control portion of the computer mouse and an aperture for allowing access to a second control portion of the computer mouse.
The present invention further provides a combination mouse cover and computer mouse. The combination includes a computer mouse with two control portions and a mouse cover connected to the computer mouse which at least partially conceals the computer mouse. The mouse cover includes a moveable touch area in contact with one of the control portions and an aperture for allowing access to another one of the control portions.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The present invention further provides a method for modifying an external form of a computer mouse. The method includes providing a computer mouse with two control portions. A cover is provided having a touch area and an access aperture. The cover is connected to the mouse, wherein the touch area is aligned to one of the control portions, and wherein the access aperture is aligned to another one of the control portions.
The following detailed description will be readily understood in conjunction with the appended drawings which illustrate preferred embodiments of the invention. In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of a mouse cover in accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a bottom perspective view of the mouse cover of FIG. 1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT(S)
FIG. 11 is a flow chart showing a preferred method for modifying an external form of a computer mouse.
Certain terminology is used in the following description for convenience only and is not limiting. The words “right,” “left,” “top,” and “bottom” designate directions in the drawings to which reference is made. The words “a” and “one” are defined as including one or more of the referenced item unless specifically stated otherwise. This terminology includes the words above specifically mentioned, derivatives thereof, and words of similar import. The phrase “at least one” followed by a list of two or more items, such as A, B, or C, means any individual one of A, B or C as well as any combination thereof.
The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the drawing figures where like numerals represent like elements throughout.
FIGS. 1-9 show a mouse cover 10 according to a first preferred embodiment of the invention. The mouse cover 10 includes a first portion in the form of a shell 12 and a second portion in the form of a chassis 14 for receiving and housing a mouse, for example the computer mouse 50 as shown in FIGS. 4-9. Alternatively, the shell 12 and chassis 14 can be replaced by a single integral portion as discussed later below.
The cover 10 can be configured in any desired form which would allow a mouse such as the computer mouse 50 to be at least partially covered thereby and which permits comfortable manipulation by a hand of a computer user. The cover is preferably generally rigid, although alternatively, the cover can be manufactured in a semi-rigid configuration. The shell 12 and the chassis 14 are preferably formed using one or more types of suitable polymeric material, for example polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride or ABS, and using a suitable plastics forming process, such as injection molding, blow molding or thermoforming. Alternatively, the shell 12 and chassis 14 can be formed from any desired material or materials using any suitable process or processes.
Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the mouse 50 is preferably positioned between the shell 12 and chassis 14 during installation of the cover 10. If the mouse 50 includes a signal wire 54, the wire 54 is arranged through a slot 16 in the chassis 14. Lips 30 located on the chassis 14 form an area for making contact with a portion of a bottom surface 56 of the mouse 50 to retain the mouse 50 securely between the shell 12 and the chassis 14. The lips 30 are preferably of sufficiently small dimension such that the bottom surface of the mouse is not raised any significant distance, or depending on the mouse configuration, no distance at all from a surface on which the mouse 50 is placed. While the present invention is especially suited for use with an optical type mouse, whether the mouse 50 utilizes an optical or mechanical sensor for tracking, the functionality of the mouse 50 will not be affected. Further, while the lips 30 are shown as integral with the chassis 14, one skilled in the art will recognize that the lips can alternatively include one or more suitable non-integral portions.
Screws 66 are provided to pass through apertures 32 to connect the shell 12 to the chassis 14 to secure the mouse 50 within the cover 10. Alternatively, any suitable removable or permanent fastening method can be used to assemble the cover 10. For example, portions of the shell 12 can be provided which removably or permanently connect with cooperating portions of the chassis 14 to produce a snap-on connection requiring no external hardware. Alternatively, the cover 10 can be formed with the shell 12 and the chassis 14 as a single integral unit including one or more elastic locking portions, such as spring clips, or manually operated latches capable of retaining a mouse when the cover is placed over the mouse.
Referring to FIGS. 1-9, the shell 12 includes touch areas 18 which correspond to mouse control portions, for example buttons 52 on a top surface of the mouse 50. When the touch areas 18 are depressed, the buttons 52 of the mouse 50 covered by the cover 10 are actuated. The touch areas 18 are preferably integrated with the shell 12 and include circuitous cut-outs 20 allowing each touch area 18 to pivot about a leading edge 22. The leading edges 22 act as spring hinges which bias the touch areas 18 to positions substantially flush with adjacent portions of the shell 12. Alternatively, the long circuitous cutouts 20 could be replaced with one or more short linear or curving cutouts to permit movement of the touch areas 18. Moreover, if the material forming the shell 12 is sufficiently thin and pliable, the shell 12 can alternatively be provided without cutouts. Alternatively, the shell 12 can be provided without any material in the touch areas, leaving the mouse buttons 52 fully exposed for actuation. While only two touch areas 18 are shown, additional touch areas can alternatively be provided to accommodate additional mouse controls, for example mouse buttons positioned on side surfaces of the mouse.
An elongated access aperture 24 is positioned on the shell 12 adjacent to the touch areas 18 preferably to allow a user access to actuate a scroll wheel 60 of the mouse 50 or another type of mouse control portion. The access aperture 24 can be positioned in an alternative manner depending on the mouse configuration. Also, other types of apertures can alternatively be provided in varied locations on the shell 12 to afford access to mouse control portions other than the typical scroll wheel.
Depending on the shape of the mouse 50, the inside surface of the touch areas 18 may include spacers 26 ensuring contact of the touch areas 18 with the mouse buttons 52. Further, structure such as a protrusion 28, is preferably provided on the inside surface of the shell 12, if required, to allow good contact between the shell 12 and the mouse 50 to prevent flexing or distorting of the cover 10. The spacers 26 and protrusion 28 can be formed integrally with the shell 12 or attached to the shell after forming, and they can be formed of any suitable material including, for example, foam, wood, cloth or any suitable polymeric material. Also, different sizes and shapes of the spacers 26 and the protrusion 28 can alternatively be provided to accommodate different mice.
A lens 34 is connected to the shell 12 to channel light emitted from an indicia 58 on the mouse 50 through apertures 40. The lens 34 is preferably formed of a transparent or translucent polymeric material and is snap fit or adhered to the shell 12 of the cover 10. Alternatively, the lens 34 can be integrally formed with the shell 12, for example during a molding or thermoforming process. The lens 34 preferably includes an extending member 36 for channeling light, through reflection and/or refraction, from the indicia 58 through the lens 34. Accordingly, a user can view light signals from the mouse when the cover 10 is installed. While the lens 34 is shown to direct light to a rear portion of the cover 10 from the indicia 58 located on a rear portion of the mouse 50, alternatively, other light channeling devices or windows can be provided to allow light emitted from indicia positioned at any suitable location on a mouse to be viewed by a user at any suitable location on the cover 10, including for example the front, top, or sides of the cover 10. Such devices may include suitable transparent or translucent lenses and/or fiber optics.
Referring to FIG. 10, a mouse cover 110 according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. The mouse cover 110 covers a mouse 50 in a similar manner to the mouse cover 10 of the first preferred embodiment. The mouse cover 110 includes a shell 112 for connection with a chassis 114. Cutouts 120 are provided to allow free movement of a touch area 118, which corresponds to the buttons 52 on the top surface of the mouse 50. An aperture 124 is provided in the shell 112 to allow a user to actuate the scroll wheel 60 of the mouse 50. Lenses 134 are mounted within corresponding apertures 140 on the shell 112 to permit light emitted from indicia on the mouse 50 to be viewed by a user.
Referring to FIG. 11, a method 200 for modifying an external form of a computer mouse is described. The method includes providing a computer mouse with at least two control portions (step 202) and providing a cover having at least one touch area and at least one access aperture (step 204). The cover is connected to the mouse. The at least one touch area is aligned to at least one of the control portions, and the at least one access aperture is aligned with at least another one of the control portions (step 206).
While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described in detail above, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, which should be considered as merely exemplary. Further modifications and extensions of the present invention may be developed, and all such modifications are deemed to be within the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

On 16 November 2021, the Ukrainian Parliament adopted the Law of Ukraine “On Critical Infrastructure” No. 1882-IX (“Law”). Although the Law entered into force on 15 December 2021, it will become operative only from 15 June 2022 (save for the compulsory insurance requirements becoming effective in late 2024).
- The Law will apply to the critical infrastructure (“CI”) operators – legal entities/individual entrepreneurs managing and operating the CI assets in Ukraine.
- The CI is defined broadly to include any infrastructure assets (objects, systems, or their parts) essential for the economy, national security, and defence, the disruption of which would cause damage to the vital national interests.
- The supervisory authority will determine the CI assets based on several criteria, including the relevant asset’s economic sector, and record such assets in the special register. The Law lists 17 critical sectors, which cover, among others, energy, health, ICT, and financial services.
- Compliance requirements. The CI operators will have to, among others, (a) protect a CI asset, (b) address (and notify a supervisory authority of) any security incident, and (c) annually report on compliance with the Law. The relevant penalties for any breach of the above requirements are yet to be introduced.
- Impact on M&A. A CI operator must (a) notify a supervisory authority of any planned (i) change of the designated use of a CI asset/its operation regime or (ii) transfer of rights to a CI asset and (b) comply with any conclusions/recommendations provided by such authority. Such notification must be made reasonably in advance (but in any case, at least 30 days before any of the above events). Still, the relevant supervisory authority is to further clarify the scope of this obligation (whether it applies to the acquisitions of the CI assets (asset deals) only or also extends to other operations involving the CI assets (lease, concession etc.).
- Ownership restrictions. The legal entities/individuals (the residents or citizens, as applicable, of the Russian Federation) may not acquire certain CI assets. The list of such assets is yet to be determined. The same restrictions will apply to the legal entities (a) whose UBO is a citizen of the Russian Federation or (b) registered in the countries included by the FATF in the list of the countries failing to counter money laundering. To enforce the above restrictions, the Ukrainian Government will verify the ownership structure of the CI assets within 3 years following the Law entering into force.
Ukraine should now form a list of the CI assets and establish the relevant register (together with the supervisory authority responsible for the CI protection). Before that, the Ukrainian authorities may not enforce the requirements set out in the Law.

Teyana Taylor’s third studio LP will arrive at the end of this week. With its straightforward title, The Album drops Juneteenth (June 19) and is expected to feature a slew of big names as musical guests.
The native Harlemite announced on Instagram that the project will feature 23 different songs split into five “studios,” each standing for a different letter in the word “album.” She already dropped a handful of songs, including “How You Want It” with King Combs and “Mornin’” with Kehlani prior to her scheduled release date, Additional featured guests include Erykah Badu, Missy Elliott, Quavo, Rick Ross, Future, Davido, Big Sean, Taylor’s husband Iman Shumpert, and their four-year-old daughter Junie.
In the revised caption for her announcement, Taylor also mentioned that none other than Ms. Lauryn Hill is a featured guest on the song “We Got Love,” which she and producer Kanye West have been teasing since fall 2018. Hill was supposed to be featured on an interlude for Taylor’s 2018 project K.T.S.E called “A Word From L Boogie.” However, due to sample clearance issues, we never got to hear what they were cooking up—until now.
2020 is shaping up to be a big year for Taylor. Not only is her album dropping, but she also recently announced via the music video for her song “Wake Up Love” with Shumpert that she is pregnant with her second child. Additionally, she will release her own capsule collection with MAC Cosmetics in July.

Join the Homeschool Freebies list by going here.
My son will be hyperventilating when (and if) I tell him about this! Here’s the summary of this free PDF download, from Homeschool Freebie of the Day.com:
The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments (PDF ebook)
Here’s a classic Chemistry experiments book from the 1960s that was actually BANNED and removed from libraries across the country for being too “dangerous” for young experimenters. Much beloved and enjoyed by young baby boomer experimenters,
apparently some of the activities in this Golden Book volume were aimed just a bit above the heads of its intended audience as it included some advanced experiments considered hazardous by teachers and librarians. Even though most of the 200+ activities and experiments in this Golden Book are quite safe and highly entertaining & educational, a few will need parental supervision should you decide to pursue them.
Highly recommended… with parental supervision, of course!
Glean and enjoy!

In a document with a Minneapolis return address that's home to national public relations powerhouse Padilla, Minnesota House candidates are being asked by the AgriGrowth Council "A Greater Minnesota" to pledge to raid the Clean Water Fund to pay for a $50 per acre tax credit for farmers taking land out of production under the state's buffer law.
Governor Dayton had preferred to fund the tax credit, which was rolled into the giant omnibus bill he vetoed, with general revenue money. The Star Tribune's Tom Meersman reported in Farmers urge Gov. Mark Dayton and legislative leaders to provide tax credits for buffer property:
Dayton’s office issued a brief statement on the issue on Wednesday: “I strongly support the buffer tax credit through any funding source that is constitutional.”
Here's the questionnaire legislators were sent this week:
Friends of the Mississippi River explained the constitutional problems with the approach back to May's post, House and Senate move to claim Clean Water Fund money for property tax rebates:
Both the House and Senate are moving to use of Clean Water Funds to fund a property tax credit, a clear violation of the Legacy Amendment.
The 2008, Minnesotans voted for the Clean Water, Land & Legacy Amendment. The amendment increased our sales tax to invest in our environment and cultural heritage.
The water portion of these funds (about 1/3rd of the money raised each year) goes to the “Clean Water Fund”. The constitutional language approved by voters clearly specifies the scope of allowable uses for the Clean Water Fund. These dedicated funds must be: “…[S]pent only to protect, enhance, and restore water quality in lakes, rivers, and streams and to protect groundwater from degradation and at least five percent of the clean water fund must be spent only to protect drinking water sources. Minn. Constitution, Art. XI, Section 15.”
Conspicuously absent from the above list: property tax relief.
But that has not stopped the Legislature this session.
What’s in the bills?
Legislators have introduced bills in both chambers (SF 3960 / HF 4395) that seek to use Clean Water Funds to pay for a tax credit given to landowners with buffers along public waters. However, the credit it is not compensation for the cost of establishing a buffer. Instead, it is a permanent payment for the purpose of property tax relief.
There are several serious problems with this approach:
- An ongoing flat rate tax credit is not consistent with the constitutional limits on the Clean Water Fund. Voters approved these constitutionally dedicated funds believing that legislators would stick to the rules, not redirect money to other uses.
- Such credits are estimated to cost over $27 million in the next biennium – about 12% of the entire Clean Water Fund. Diverting clean water funds for tax credits would substantially reduce the money available for restoration and protection programs.
- The Clean Water Fund expires in 2034. The proposed tax credits would be permanent, but would not have a permanent funding source – a recipe for financial disaster moving forward.
- The legislature has traditionally funded tax credits through the general fund.
Using constitutionally dedicated funds for permanent tax relief is inappropriate. That’s why FMR and our conservation partners have called on legislators and Governor Dayton to reject this unwise approach.
The Outcomes-Based model for regulation also invites scrutiny, rather than a quick pledge to overhaul the state's environmental process.
Who is "A Greater Minnesota"? Evolution of a pledge
When "A Greater Minnesota" was launched prior to the 2014 election, a post on the AgriGrowth Council's website noted the membership of the electoral effort:
A critical new tool for the 2014 election cycle launched today with the goal of providing voters with an easy-to-use source for identifying where candidates stand on important food and ag issues. “A Greater Minnesota,” comprised of Agri-Growth, the Minnesota Pork Producers Association, the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association, the Chicken and Egg Association of Minnesota, the Minnesota Milk Producers Association formed the group to give food and ag issues a powerful voice in this year’s election. . . .
. . .Our mission is to get in front of the voters to combat the flow of misinformation about Minnesota’s food and ag industry and provide solid, research-based information to pro-agriculture voters and candidates.
The key component of the initiative is the 5-point pledge the coalition are asking Minnesota House of Representatives candidates to take regarding issues important to the growth and competitiveness of the Minnesota’s food and ag sector. You can view the pledge here.
That link now leads to a page that notes a 2018 version of the document is coming, and state constitutional officers will be asked to pledge, as well as House candidates.
When "A Better Minnesota" first put out a pledge in 2014, the five items highlighted were much less wonky. Since the 2014 pledge has been stripped from the page, we can only find traces of it online. For instance, Bluestem included this now-deleted material in a November 2014 post:
During the recently concluded campaign season, the Minnesota Agri-Growth Council and a group of other Minnesota farm and food entities launched "A Greater Minnesota" (AGM) coalition, which put together the 5-Point Farm And Food Pledge, briefly described on its About Page:
A key component of our campaign is asking you, the voters, to encourage legislative candidates to take the 5-point MN Food and Farm Pledge, which encourages supporting all good MN farms (big or small, traditional or organic), environmental stewardship, caring for farm animals, sensible food labeling and food safety.
The "sensible food labeling" plank was centered around GMO labeling, and seems to have dropped from the pledge after that election.
The outline of the 2016 pledge is available at The Farmer:
The plan asks that legislative candidates commit to policies that support:
1. All farms — large and small, rural and urban, conventional and organic
2. More research for better food and improved farm practices
3. Smarter regulation to make Minnesota more competitive with other states
4. Economic, workforce and transportation policies to help rural Minnesota grow
5. Strategies to address issues of water quality
Gone this year is the point for all farms, whether large or small, rural and urban, conventional and organic. Perhaps that's related to state senate testimony by a University of Minnesota dairy expert (and consultant to Minnesota Milk) that the last generation of small dairy farms is calling it quits, as we reported last April in From Land Stewardship Project: U economist says help is disservice to many dairy farmers.
Clearly, corporate ag isn't afraid to play taps for Minnesota's small family farms--and perhaps hold out the belief that no one will notice the change in the pledge. Even the lawmakers pledging fealty to it.
On the other side, a new group called A Greater Minnesota (AGM) retained the services of Himle Rapp & Co. The new outfit was formed by the Minnesota Agri-Growth Council, the Minnesota Pork Producers Association and the Minnesota Corn Growers Association, among other existing agriculture interest groups.
AGM also involved itself in electoral politics, challenging legislative candidates to sign its “five-point pledge.” The group’s opposition to “pseudo-science labeling proposals regarding GMOs” was one element of that policy platform. Other points call for environmental policies “based on sound science … [which] do not put Minnesota farmers and companies at a competitive disadvantage,” as well as “responsible regulation and … voluntary practices” from farmers to insure food safety.
Now the effort's return address suggests that Padill'a Minneapolis office has the contract. In September 2017, the firm posted news on its website that John Himle Joins Padilla as Executive Vice President, Senior Counsel. Padilla describes itself in the post:
Padilla is a top 10 independent public relations and communications company comprised of 240 employee-owners. Padilla builds, grows and protects brands worldwide by creating purposeful connections with the people who matter most through public relations, advertising, digital and social marketing, investor relationsby and brand strategy. Padilla includes the brand consultancy of Joe Smith, the food and nutrition experts at FoodMinds and the research authorities at SMS. Clients include 3M, Barnes & Noble College, Bayer, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, GE, Hass Avocado Board, Land O’Lakes, Mayo Clinic, Prosciutto di Parma, Rockwell Automation, U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council, the Virginia Lottery and Welch’s. Padilla is a founding member of The WorldCom Public Relations Group, a partnership of 143 independently owned partner offices in 115 cities on six continents. Make a connection at PadillaCo.com.
Bayer-- a chemical company that manufactures bee-busting ag chemicals and recently retired the Monsanto name after the companies merged--is clearly our favorite in that list of clients, as our post, What's in a brand? Bayer retirement of Monsanto company name echoes post-WWII rebranding, would suggest.

The problem with the New Beverly today is that under Tarantino's stewardship, quality control is no longer
in place, and they frequently screen horrendous, color-depleted prints from his collection that should never be shown. I often won't go unless they expressly note that a studio archive, I.B. Technicolor or fresh from the lab print is being screened.
It really is a shame about LACMA. They had a great Japanese new wave series and they hosted the massive Oshima Nagisa series that toured a few years ago. Plus, they're 70mm capable. UCLA can run 70mm as well, although they very seldom do so; they did show Richard Brooks' Lord Jim in that format a while back.
The Tarantino print problem is far less frequent than you believe. You see it more with rare genre films or rare oddities. Seems most of the prints are loaned or rented lately. As of the last month, I've seen Blond Venus
, Only Angels Have Wings
, Diary of a Mad Housewife
, and a Czech double feature (plus plenty more) with excellent prints. Their calendar or website often makes no reference to the print source either. IB Tech or archival doesn't always denote quality either. When I saw Hollywood or Bust
there five years ago, the colors were gorgeous, but the print was beaten pretty badly. Recently they ran the only existing print of Last Summer
from an Australian archive, and it was a faded, chopped-up, (maybe) partially censored version of the film made from multiple sources and converted to 16mm.
And it's a real shame about LACMA. I went to that Oshima series (the less avant-garde ones played at the Egyptian to an audience of mostly ten people, myself included) and would regularly go when they had double-features on Fridays and Saturdays. The Cinematheque still runs 70mm every few months and has an exclusive license to be the only venue allowed to screen 2001: A Space Odyssey
on 70mm for the next five years or so. They recently ran Inherent Vice
, The Master
and The Hateful Eight
I love the Bing Theater at LACMA and get sad at the idea of it being torn down. But walking around it, you get the feeling they don't care much about it. The same video installation piece has been there for years, the office upstairs seem dirty and a lot of the building could use a nice polish. I've gone to the Tuesday matinees the last three weeks (von Sternberg/Dietrich films with beautiful prints) to small crowds of old folks and walk-in tourists, and it seriously made me re-evaluate the theater I used to take for granted. Now that it's essentially only open for the matinees, I can see how gorgeous the theater is with the seating arrangement, the ornate red curtain covering the screen and the wood paneling inside that makes me nostalgic for my youth. I'm not really looking forward to the thousand seat theater that's replacing it at the Academy Museum.
I was also going to initially post about the LA Film Forum, but saw there was only one screening coming instead of a notice for a full series. I certainly didn't forget it!
Also worth noting is Locarno in Los Angeles is this weekend. Unfortunately, the ones I want to see the most (The Human Surge
and The Challenge
) are playing on a day where I'll be working all day.

It’s not uncommon for online consumers to happen upon a fake testimonial. While they’ve become increasingly more difficult to spot, there’s no denying that they’re still as prevalent as ever; 74% of online consumers are said to have identified at least one false review in the last 365 days.
With that said, the following will be a deep dive into the world of legality pertaining to reviews and testimonials. Specifically, we’ll uncover and answer the most pressing questions surrounding the topics of paid and fake testimonials. To ensure that you as a business or brand avoid any such legal concerns regarding testimonials, continue reading!
Disclaimer: The information provided in this article isn’t intended to be used as legal advice but rather general guidance on the subject of testimonials and the issues surrounding legality.
While many perceive testimonials and reviews to be posted by real individuals, the harsh truth is that it’s not always the case. On the contrary, many reviews and testimonials are either misled by incentivizing customers to post inaccurate statements or companies outright writing them themselves.
Are fake testimonials illegal in the United States?
Yes. According to the FTC, any use of unfair or deceptive acts that affect commerce is a crime, forbidding the use of fake testimonials. So, whether on social media, third-party websites, commerce websites, landing pages, or otherwise, fake testimonials are unquestionably illegal in the United States and beyond.
Are fake testimonials illegal in the United Kingdom?
Yes, the use of fake testimonials is 100% illegal in the eyes of the UK government and beyond. Whether it’s writing, hosting, or paying for a fake review, paid or unpaid, new UK laws and regulations have prohibited the use of fake testimonials for any reason, according to the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive.
Are fake testimonials illegal in Canada?
Yes, fake testimonials in Canada are illegal. Largely led by the Competition Act whereby civil or criminal advertising provisions are challenged, the use of fake, false or misleading testimonials is illegal if made knowingly and recklessly. These strict provisions and forbidden deceptive behaviors make it all but impossible for advertisers to partake in the use of fake testimonials.
What are the punishments for fake testimonials?
While this depends on whether you’re the reviewer or the company incentivizing fake reviews, the FTC has the power to penalize how they see fit due to the simple fact that it’s a crime to disobey FTC rules and regulations. Punishments include fines upwards of $10,000+/day and are subject to the U.S Code (USC).
While most testimonials given by a customer are done voluntarily, paid testimonials are requested in exchange for compensation. Paid testimonials are typically written by influencers, celebrities, other spokespersons, or regular customers during initial reviews. Continue reading to learn more about the legality surrounding paid testimonials.
Are paid testimonials illegal in the United States?
No. Paid testimonials aren’t inherently illegal in the US. There are, however, several provisions that prohibit the act of paying for fake/misleading testimonials. Whether for a product, service, or political candidate, paid testimonials are viable as long as a disclaimer is given regarding the relationship between parties; it must be publicly disclosed, according to the FTC.
How do you avoid illegally paid testimonials?
There must be a clearly identifiable disclaimer attached to the testimonial itself. If a company has paid a celebrity influencer for a promotional testimonial for a social media post, they may choose to use a hashtag like “#ad” or “advertisement” to satisfy FTC guidelines; In short, the relationship must be disclosed in some publicly identifiable way.
Are paid testimonials illegal in the United Kingdom?
No. Paid testimonials aren’t inherently illegal in the UK. Many of the same provisions that make fake testimonials illegal, however, also make paid testimonials illegal. For paid testimonials to comply legally, disclaimers must be clearly used and deceit must be avoided at all costs.
Are paid testimonials illegal in Canada?
No. Paid testimonials aren’t illegal in Canada either. While fake or misleading testimonials are illegal in the eyes of Canadian authorities, paid testimonials are viable should advertisers implement them ethically; for paid testimonials to be legal, disclaimers must be used, clauses must be identified, and deceit must be avoided.
Can you use paid testimonials in political campaigns?
Yes. According to the Federal Election Commission, “there are no FEC regulations that explicitly prohibit paying individuals for appearances in advertisements that are sponsored by federal candidates”. As such, the rules remain the same, whether for a product, service, or political candidate.
Can you exchange free gifts for testimonials?
Yes, you can exchange free gifts for testimonials if done so with compliance. While it might come across as somewhat deceitful, exchanging free gifts for testimonials is legal should there be a disclosure attached. This is because the FTC places free gifts in the same category as compensation. Avoid incentives for a perfect review or specific testimonial request.
Can you provide discounts for testimonials?
Yes, however, not without consideration. It’s often emphasized in the FTC guidelines to practice common sense. If you work at a company, do not review the product/service nor should you accept any incentive to leave a review. if an incentive (i.e. discount) is offered to a customer for a review, it must be optional, not mandatory.
Can you get paid for a Google review?
Yes, however, with provisions. While you can get compensated for leaving a review, compensation can’t direct the requirement for a positive review as it goes against terms of service. Similarly, public disclosure must be identifiable. Failure to disclose is seen as illegal in the eyes of the FTC.
Can you get paid for an Amazon review?
No, with no exceptions. As another one of the most reputable websites in the world, Amazon doesn’t take reviews lightly; it’s what the majority of its business is built on. According to its terms of service, “a review in exchange for monetary reward” is not allowed and will be removed.
Can you get paid for a Yelp review?
No, accepting payment in exchange for reviews is prohibited and highly discouraged unless you’re part of the Yelp Ambassador Program. According to its terms of service, you’re to refrain from “…compensate someone or be compensated to post, refrain from posting, or remove a review”.
Are you required to disclose paid testimonials on social media?
Yes, whether on social media or otherwise, it’s required to publicly disclose the relationship between both parties involved. This can be shown through the use of hashtags (“#ad” or “#advertisement”, or “#sponsored”), paid promotion tags, or otherwise.
Not all testimonials are paid. In fact, many of them are left voluntarily by real individuals. Many questions surround the use and modification of real but voluntary testimonials. Continue reading to learn more…
Can you modify testimonials?
Yes, however not without provisions. While testimonials don’t need to be phrased exactly as they were written, they cannot be taken out of context (§ 255.1). This type of distortion is viewed as false and misleading advertising, hence being illegal. You can, however, request one to leave a review or testimonial, openly allowing them to speak openly and honestly.
Can you tell the reviewer what to say?
No. This goes back to NOT being able to modify testimonials or reviews. Telling the reviewer what to say not only removes respect and boundaries from the equation but is also a type of modification, tampering, and misleading. All reviews “must reflect the honest opinions, findings, and beliefs of the endorser…” according to the FTC (FTC 16 CFR Part 255).
Can you use testimonials without permission?
Yes, there are no outright rules or regulations that state the illegal use of voluntary, real testimonials in a promotional ad or social media post, for example, without permission; it’s presumed that consent has been given if the review is given voluntarily. It’s a safe and recommended practice, however, to ask for permission or create an agreement.
Can you use stock images for real testimonials?
Yes, if you weren’t given real photos on behalf of the reviewer and wish to use visual content on your reviews, you can input stock images of your choice. In short, stock images aren’t viewed as misleading.
Can you use real testimonials in display ads?
Yes, if the testimonial was written about your product or service, you can use it in any way that you please, whether in a promotional display ad, organic social media post, or otherwise. While it’s not required, it’s recommended to ask the reviewer for permission to use it before proceeding further just to be safe.
Can you use testimonials for medical products?
Yes, however, not without consideration. If the testimonials aren’t deceptive, misleading, or false, there are no outright provisions stating the illegality of the testimonial. It’s recommended for the healthcare company being reviewed to ensure that all testimonials, results, and experiences are easily verifiable and disclosed.
Can you use testimonials for medical services or skills?
Yes, however, not without consideration. If the testimonials aren’t deceptive, misleading, or false, there are no outright provisions stating the illegality of the testimonial. It’s recommended for physicians to avoid the use of testimonials unless readily available to verify.
Can you repost reviews from third-party websites?
No, whether from Yelp, Google, Amazon, or otherwise, all reviews are considered to be of the ownership of both the endorser and the third-party website involved. As such, reposting said review would be copyright infringement if not otherwise stated.
Spotting fake testimonials
In today’s digital ecosystem, it’s difficult to spot a fake review from a legitimate one. Because of the resourcefulness in making fake reviews look real, oftentimes, it’s near impossible to distinguish.
There are, however, still several ways to spot fake testimonials and reviews. Want to know what tools to use and red flags to look for? Read the following article entitled How to Spot Fake Testimonials.
Summary of legal tips
What follows are several legal tips regarding the use of testimonials. Whilst some might not be required, all are recommended, if for no other reason but to play it safe…
- DO ask for permission first. Although a spoken agreement is typically sufficient, it’s best to request a written agreement before proceeding just to be safe. This written agreement can and should be given to every reviewer and should also be included as a clause in your terms of service.
- DO ensure the accuracy of the testimonial. Ensuring that all endorsements, reviews, and testimonials reflect the honest opinions and beliefs of the person writing the testimonial is imperative. Such accuracy will protect you from being held liable for false testimonials or the potential of such.
- DO clarify the relationship between both parties. This goes for any such relationship, whether it’s an employee of a company, a relative of staff, investors, shareholders, or the like. Failing to disclose any type of relationship, whether paid or not, can result in you being held liable.
- DON’T copy & paste reviews from other sites. When a review is originally posted on another review site, it’s inherently under the ownership of that website. Most review sites relay this in their terms of service. Failing to comply with such terms results in the infringement of rights.
