Federal Trade Commission Details What Product Reviews & Giveaway Blogs Must Say - News Blogger/Wordpress

Attention Product/Review/Giveaway Bloggers
I received a vital information August 30, 2010 through three messages, all were addressed through companies I work through.

After proper research, the below information was structurally updated September 2, 2010 to add solidness and the proper sourcing credits due to questions towards the data.

Please Note: I encourage sharing due to the critical importance of the data. After reading through the initial post, click on the Blogger icon  on the toolbar located in a the same area as 'post a comment'. A pop up box will appear with a short summery and proper link, from that box post the content in full; this data will post to your Blogger.

In proper accordance to the Federal Trade Commission on September 1, 2010 bloggers *must* act in agreement with The Electronic Code of Federal Regulations or face punishments that could be as severe as blog termination or suspension – regardless of subdomain, domain, or host. Failing to meet full compliance could also result in a lessened amount of offers, impacting those who use Blogger and/or Wordpress to derive additional income; this impact will be felt to a variant of paying ventures.

The Federal Trade Commission is an agency branched from the American government operable in protecting consumers from false advertising and unfair/fraudulent business practices. Prime of a targeted focus is to regulate interstate commerce, due in part to the current globally interconnected technological society the Electronic Code of Federal Regulation was established; solely dealing with the entire Internet based consumer driven mobile market the code has strengthened into the present day. On a mission to ensure a fair and free market, the Federal Trade Commission serves above all activities involving today’s businesses and consumer sales so to promote a healthy market for Americans who spend monetary amounts of the American dollar.

The following mandated changes have been accredited to the dramatic rise of social media, new-media, mobile-media, and online purchasing. At the summit the Federal Trade Commission has held open eyes towards blogs often to referred to ‘Mommy Blogs’ as well as new-media blogs; often these blogs detail consumer marketing review experience towards a specific product. The American government and Federal Trade Commission are all the rage in relation to these blogs, mind you our freedom of personal expression and speech; now mandating requirements, as of September 01, 2010, due to what they state is a “danger” for nationwide consumers that view the information supplied. Such mandates are listed below in shorter terms or you may view the entire policy that is in effect at The Electronic Code of Federal Regulations with supplied examples.

It must be noted that the Federal Trade Commission starts by declaring: “After investigation, we have reason to believe the practices fall within the scope of conduct declared unlawful by statute. The following guide sets forth general principles that we will use in evaluating endorsements and testimonials, this guide doe not purport to cover every possible endorsement, testimonial, or advertisement possible.”

1a.] The Federal Trade Commission describes an endorsement to mean any advertising message; including verbal statements, demonstration, textual statements, depictions of name/signature, a likeness, or other identifying characteristics of an individual. Simply meaning all we do is now believed to reflect highly to consumers including our opinions, our beliefs, our findings, and our experiences. Thus writing about any product, under any circumstance is to endorse that particular product; each “endorsement” has its own legalities as to what we must include or state for the consumers trafficking our blogs.

1b.] The term product includes any product, service, company, or industry.

1c.] The expert includes any individual, group, or institution possessing experience, study, training, knowledge, or superior knowledge. Simply meaning The Federal Trade Commission are classifying blog owners as experts superior to the consumers who traffic our page.

On and thereafter September 1, 2010:

1. All endorsements must reflect honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experience of the endorser. Endorsements may not convey or express implied representation that would be deceptive of the product.

2. Advertisers should note that endorsement messages may be phrased in words other than that of the product marketing, however, these words may not distort the endorsers opinions and/or product experience. Simply, meaning that we cannot change/alter reviews because the company we submit them to dislikes our experience; if this happens we must point them to the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations. Advertisers are subject to liability for false of unsubstantiated statements or asking for product review alterations. We become liable if we change our review and honest expressed opinions based on being asked to omit or edit parts of the review.

3. According to the Federal Trade Commission all endorsers must disclose the material connection par published product endorsement be this purchased outright, a product for giveaway purposes, or a product that was obtained free of charge for the basis of a review. Endorsers also must include in this disclosure the company/service/institution in which the product was obtained from and/or product maker. These material connections must be announced in each post, instead of a page disclosure due to the additional information that must be included within each product or giveaway post. Consumers must know whether the product was purchased outright, by discount due to the product company for a certain reason, or given for free; we also must share per post that our review is honest regardless of the material connection of the product we are endorsing.

As of August 31, 2010 the data above is current to what must be disclosed; punishment under federal penalty for failing to provide a proper disclosure may be put in effect on September 1, 2010. Any alterations to the above must be researched by the blog officer or author also known as the endorser, failing to comply with such may then results too in punishments.

Questions/Answers: Your Voice Heard About This Policy Change

Frustrations and Health: Ten on Tuesday Blog Hop

Ten on Tuesday: Ten Frustrations
[1] .Health.
Currently I have another stressor to add to a lengthy list of health issues, my heart rate is far too high; in fact it was 178 yesterday. I had to wear a heart monitor for 24-hours, which is akin to a miniature and portable EKG. I was never so glad to disconnect all the wires, uncomfortable; very hard time sleeping with wires, tape, and a box attached to me. I go tomorrow for results, today it came down to 100-105 which is high but much better than that of 178.
  
[2] .Inability To Tolerate Current Medication.
I haven’t had issue, related to my heart; it is my thought that the current medication that the doctor put me on to attempt the control of my break through pain is the major factor of my heart. It is no stranger to making me feel strange in fact an hour after taking it (as needed) it feels as if I’ve had a stroke and kills my short term memory.

[3] .Idiots, complete idiots!.
I have no confidence in regards to the “new” family doctor, the one taking the heart issue. I am on task to look for another doctor as no doctor can know anything of a patient spending 1.2-2 minutes tops with patients and seeing 75 people par 2 hour period. I just hate it, the staff is absolutely horrific and beyond poor in quality and aptitude; nothing but sour attitude.

[4] .Glasses/Contacts.
For nine full months now I have been putting off going to change prescriptions based on my vision changes, I just “hate” the process and I “hate” spending time to take time for myself; no, really I hate going to get an eye exam and headache of the ordeal. I just am without a choice now, can’t see much!

[5] .Emotions.
I’ve been a ranting and raving emotional tart for weeks now, since I have took the new medication. Very severe mood swings and very severe depression, it’s bad leave it at that; it’s bad.

[6] .Web Development.
I have a couple of email into the web developer and have had zero contact; hopefully it’s nothing to worry about. I am worried, however; even small things like this worry me. Ah, one more email I’ll send if no contact, not good.

[7] .Infection.
I’m pretty damn tired of infections by now, yet another one; will get me down when I have to get hooked up to the machines. Based on how bad it is (blood work) I may end up hospitalized but I really would prefer getting treated at home. No stranger there.

[8] .Men.
A certain someone is just making me increasingly mad, not “the man” but one I wrote of on the Thirty Days of Truth which I will start once the stresses go away; there is far more then I let go of here on the blog. It is horrific. I haven’t been slammed by this much in a very long time.

[9.] .Procrastination.
I hate procrastination that I am putting off the Thirty Days of Truth, I was ten in; however I am deeply procrastinating due to the fact of below.

[10] .Traffic and Domains.
I hate starting over but of course if you switch to a new domain; it’s just like starting over. This month’s stats were not too bad yet I didn’t switch the domain until the end of the month; I am still regaining great stats from that date onward. Next month I will do two checks, once I get up on the money I can regain reviews but I am also having a class starting TOMORROW and great information all month!

Medicare Cut Leaves Seniors Without Healthcare Providers: Petition to Help

In June Congress passed a temporary reprieve that will leave Medicare spiraling out of control at the end of 2010 and again at the start of 2011; to many seniors this is the only form of delegated insurance to be had, soon they are to be stripped of hope if we do not come together and act to stop the governments neglect and destruction. Come December 2010, Medicare will be cut 23%; in just thirty days that percentage stands to increase into an immense 30% cut… Medicare is not taking a significant blow; the seniors are and friends if we do not stand to stop this they stand to become the forgotten generation. This is not about politics, this is far from political party, or political stance; this is singularly about a population about to be shoved in the fire; my father, is just one of the thousands being left behind -- it’s personal now, my father never did a thing but currently stands to be forgotten.

In under a minute of your time, you can take action and sign this current petition at the American Medical Association’s Patient Action Network website.

Personal Experience: One in four current seniors are currently trying to find a health care provider, time and time again they are being turned away; thousands barely can pay the bills as it is. My father is currently the one in four,; each day we call up to ten offices, none are willing to accept Medicare and accept him as a patient. Having a four way heart bypass in 2004, after massive heart attack, a nerve and vessels were pinched branching off to his gallbladder when sewn up; he currently is in great pain and losing weight from the inability to eat -- the hospital local to our area, has denied Medicare patients. Of course, they’d take him; paying $7,000 up front for the testing and procedures -- with $5,500 due at the end of surgery. Many of you know a patient of Medicare and some of you have similar stories to share since hospitals from shore to shore are denying to accept the government’s own delegated insurance. This insurance is being paid for by each senior, yet currently not worth the paper it’s printed on; my only question, if it is cut by 30% what will it be?

While I usually write blogs and give coupon offers, this also stands to be assistance in savings; some seniors are currently being forced to eat cat food, others can afford crackers every other meal – according to current media. Help these sweet and compassionate people by giving just a minute of your time to send your current legislation a letter pledging to save Medicare and the seniors who are in dire need of medical coverage: Medicare Coverage Petition to Legislation to Help Seniors

Money and Frugal Living Banish The Excuses: Tips

Very few things can bring strife to the American household than disheartening issues concerning money and the inability to cover expenses properly, as a whole. The rising cost of living is indeed demoralizing, when coupled with the current economic recession household financials can quickly become discouraging –- possibility even frightening.  Money, the leading factor to marital issues, immediately becomes an evil that largely removes the joy to our life; however, by taking steps into a frugal living lifestyle the joy can once again be reclaimed along with the senses. Far too many are misguided and misinformed in regards to frugal living as a whole, time and again looking to the basic principles and creating a wealth of excuses due to the fear of living for less – often snubbing frugal living without making an attempt.

Leading an endless list of excuses is the excuse of time, who has the time to clip coupons/plant a small backyard garden/consider alternatives... Others may become so frustrated with money that they begin to believe it to be impossible to reduce their dept, acting against their household and self frustrations they continue to go farther into the negative; I couldn’t pass up the sale these boots, they were just $275! I just had to have them so I put them on the credit card. Some admit that it’s difficult to say “no” especially to family/friends/ self desires, my baby brother asked again for some money and promises to pay me back what he owes me when he gets back on his feet. As I first said, the excuses to banish a tightened frugal lifestyle are endless and broad; a large number discredit a straight and narrow path without consideration – it’s time that the excuses be banished themselves with corrected information and devote attentiveness to their household/self income.

Frugality takes practice, looking to the lifestyle as that of a hobby or a sport; with increased practice and stern devotion, frugal living becomes a way of life in itself. The strengthening of one’s devotion to save and reap benefits of coupons/exclusive offers reflects its own advantages, like that of strength training or conditioning, streamlining the process so that the amount of time decreases; Rome wasn’t built in a mere day nor did athletes walk into an Olympic gold without training to be the best. The act of clipping coupons and increasing monetary savings by discovering online coupons, does not covet a great deal of time; in fact, just a meager few minutes -- less time and far less stress than it consumes worrying in regards to the shortfalls of money, budgetless.

Wallowing in the self pity of being in dept, by far is a waste of time; merely the actions made towards dept reduction matter. Instead of acting out towards the frustrations of dept one should stop worrying about what they do not have and focusing more narrow-mindedly on what they do. Wasteful spending, such as buying a pair of boots on same when 50 pairs of boots are had, tends to get one in trouble. I highly recommend a stern focus of staying clear of retail stores when depressed or in dept; credit cards should be cut up, they do nothing but provide insurance that dept will increase instead of decreasing. In fact credit cards decrease frugal devotion in those starting out, if one’s wallet is nearly empty they will continue to be more motivated to rejuvenate and replenish the bank account; of course, putting a chunk into savings to insure the future will not lead to such position of being without.

The basic premise of frugal living is to learning to say “no” in household budgeting situations, as you would say “no” to your child amidst wrong doing you will need to take the same perspective to taking control of finances. This unwillingness to frivolously spend also means saying “no” to friends and family, as much if not more in comparison to the self. By far should frugal limit the fun, in fact I encourage suggesting to friends activities that can be done at little or no cost; instead of going to an expensive dinner after an expensive date. With regards to loaning money, it is my personal opinion that money should never be loaned unless financially comfortable with throwing away/tossing out the amount; let’s face it, loaning money is a huge risk. Money should never be loaned if you are struggling, attempting to replenish and gain control of eating debt; also never loan money if uncomfortable with the amount. I personally would never loan other’s money due to an increased harm that may be shed for the specific relationship, be it a friend or my sister. Nevertheless, when living frugally the word “no” must be added to the vocabulary to function on the task at hand, that task bettering yourself/your family and living for less without giving up fun or comfort.

While I change my tires either nor point to you what that automotive thingy is under the hood what I can do is point you in the direction of a device that I refuse to head down the road without – The Passport 8500. This little driver’s tool allows you to be notified of them far long before seeing them and equally much before they light you up! ” – No tickets, 3+ years and running strong!

Heart Rates and Hospitals: Monday's Personal Content

Whoa! Slow it down!

As I wrote previously, I had a rather early doctor’s appointment today; primary I needed a simple refill, secondary as suspected another infection looms. At present, I’m hooked up and being monitored; however, for my heart not due in part to the infection. At the doctor, the doctor and medical staff freaked as my heart was racing at 178 beats per minute; no amount of rest would take it down from more than double what the resting heart rate should be.

I felt absolutely fine, I did not feel abnormal. I was rushed into a room where an EKG was hurried and done and then monitored. Nothing would take down my heart rate. Their tests all came back normal; no abnormalities were noted in any of the battery of tests that I was given; so in the end, everyone pretty much stood around and starched their head as to why. I’m unsure as to what the answer could be; I know 178 is not what the answer should be. Perhaps, I was just having a freakishly high heart rate kind of day.

Tell me about starting a Monday off with a bang, I am glad that I scheduled a great deal of posts; I usually schedule a number of various posts and most (if not all) the dropped exclusive offer foundation for the entire week; I am currently having problems as Blogger will not schedule posts. I do not see updated messages that there is a problem nor do I see a limit to posts I can schedule in advance; in fact I have scheduled three times more -- yet today Blogger seems to be the one who needs a jump start. The woes of technology, seriously!

Within the recent decade the popularization of homeschooling has increased significantly, within each home the reason to teach the future generation is different yet made with the same principals in mind. Raising future leaders through active homeschooling is by far is an easy feat for one, let alone the three that my cousin provides for or the six that fellow blogger Lisa devotes her attention to -- to be quite honest while interested, I couldn’t teach at home like the hundreds who wake to such determination.

My cousin tells me that the most difficult part of his homeschooling is discovering the lessons that make up the day, each being interesting and shaped around the child so attentiveness doesn’t gaze to the window. Today I was led to a special offer, one that gives perspective to homeschooling any age, complete free lessons in the area of sign language. Personally, I believe this exclusive and elite educational offer boosts chances to learn of the diversity of mankind, the anatomic principals behind deafness, and also an added provision to volunteer and connect without a barrier of unknowing.

However, since time and schedules are limited these lessons can be broken up into a target area that grows with the development of the child.

Tip - Can Your Family Afford Medication? Generic Drug Programs Offer Help

At various times in our lives additional assistance is needed; please know that it’s acceptable to ask for help as the need of an extended helpful hand occurs to us all. Upon receiving a treasured message from a follower in need of assistance in regards to the cost of medication, I begin to change my schedule and thumb through various websites to lend a hand without thought or problem –- my thoughts, gathered, surrounding a situation; a family that I do not know nor will I meet.

Amidst the starvation of an unstable economic recession, many Americans have been forced to reformat their budgeting; thousands of hard working men and women have been forced out of employment. Looking for a stable job proves difficult as several hundred race to bid on a single position within a company. Weeks have turned to months, those months to nearly a year; within such lengthy time period the benefits of insurance, unemployment, and an entire family nest egg have run dry -- fear begins to stricken once smiling faces and families from shore to shore. 

The availability of generic medication continues to have a significant impact, creating some ease on families; an ease, welcomed, much more than ever before. Be it those left to struggle without an employer, the late generation, and beyond these generics are creating a safety for people to purchase medication at a cheaper rate; effective and the same as the expense of name brands. Friends, please note that these medications are available and in the current downturn of the American economy. In addition a collection of pharmacies have established a solid $4 discount program for many generic names so to assist even more. According to my research, an accommodating $4 plan extends well beyond Wal-Mart, the leader and common association of such assistance. Following in well defined footsteps to accommodate the nation:

1.) Wal-Mart Pharmacy
2.) Kroger Pharmacy
3.) Target Pharmacy
4.) Giant Eagle Pharmacy
5.) Sam’s Club Pharmacy

6.) Fred Meyer Pharmacy
7.) Randall's Pharmacy
8.) Safeway Pharmacy
9.) Derberg Pharmacy
10.) City Market Pharmacy
11.) Wegman's Pharmacy
12.) Dominick's Pharmacy
13.) Meijer
14.) Smith's Store and Pharmacy
15.) Dillon's

*The above data is in accordance to a recent Google search, in which a master list has yet to be documented. Please phone your pharmacy to inquire about established plans of generic medication. If you know of a pharmacy to add, I am opening this up to also include commentary below; each has a website that will offer you names of medication covered.

*In relation to generics covered I am noticing that most are a mirroring of the same generic drug coverage; again coverage can be found in full on websites and under the related pharmacy tab.

For those needing antibiotics to fight off an infection, I was greatly surprised to find that Meijer has taken control and created their own path; offering free antibiotics to those in need regardless of prescription drug coverage. The prescriptions must be picked up at the Meijer’s near you and signed for, limited to a 14 day supply; most antibiotics are that of a ten day routine or less. Coverage extends to the below antibiotics:

-Amoxicillin
-Cephalexin
-Bactrim
-Cipro
-Ampicillin
-Penicillin VK
-Erythromycin

*Note the names above are that of common name brands which are available to be distributed without cost in event no generics are in stock or exist -- free pricing includes both children and adult forms and all strengths if applicable. Stock tend to run low during cold and flu seasons, but either name brand and generic forms are guaranteed to be on hand at this store’s pharmacy department. Please phone your local Meijer with any questions.
*Ask around for a price match policy, many pharmacies now have them, present information about these free of cost drugs and attempt to ascertain a price match at nearby stores.

Vital to this information are prescription drug manufactures, three to four years ago a prescription drug “spin-down” program was established directly through the manufacturing companies that allows discount rates and even free medication based upon insurance coverage and household income. You will need to Google the medication to find out the manufacture and then point yourself to that manufacture’s website; information and qualification can be found on each site and is applied to all medication produced though the company. This has helped my father out greatly, as his medication is though several various makers due to an inability to cover a price of $1,000 per month for his heart medication. I set my father up and enrolled him in the relief plans dealing directly with the product maker so that now all medications are obtained free or at a rate of $5 for a 90-day supply. Medications are either shipped direct to the patient or to the doctor’s office, the office phones the patient for pick up; for those going through this route know that 90-day supplies are common to be shipped and must note that prescriptions are needed as well as a call two weeks before the point of depleting the medication –- these policies state if a new prescription is had to phone 3-4 weeks before depleting the supply. These policies and also enrollment qualifications vary per product manufacture. You will need to submit proof of earnings and/or tax records if applicable in your conduction to establish enrollment – some drug manufactures assist in a no cost compensation program as well, the cost will vary to a co-payment.

I also discovered a free Pharmacy Discount Card
*It may not be worth much, or anything; it's free and worth a shot in the dark

It appears we’re back in business, nationally and internationally with a new domain name.  I’ve checked with many from England to New Zealand and beyond; of course none in China due to the barrier of the ‘Great Firewall of China’ -- I have a friend there at current using his own technology to communicate outwards, the man took a week for business and it was if he dropped off the face of the planet around the curvature of the earth! Psst. If you have never tracked an international flight to Asia from California, every tracker drops off at the curvature of the earth and goes dark. It was actually scary for me, the first time.

My goal is to attempt to contact my website developer this week, I have gave it the weekend; without contact, I have an appointment later on today and can hold off another day until one better; today is beginning terrible, it’s actually true that I have a nice little “infection” going on and I’ve probably let it go on without treatment for too long. Will be easing it up and taking time off. I haven’t had a good start of the week now for a while yet I never have dived into a week so horrific in a long while either…

; I’ve critically planned this time off so to have a continuous flow for those few hours I take off, detailing my commitment towards helping others even if I’m down… Down to repair my wounds, I’ll be lurking. Psst, I could never justify being away totally.
