Nearly six months after the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was first announced, most Americans are still digesting the full scope of the new law. One important change that may have flown under your radar is the elimination of the deduction for business entertainment expenses, as well as for meals related to business entertainment – such as the expense of a hot dog at a baseball game, or lunch at the golf course.
Prior to the TCJA, business meals and entertainment were both deductible – but limited to 50% of the total cost. (The 50% limitation was meant to recapture the benefit of the business owner's portion, when they took a client out for a business meal, or entertainment.)
Now, the TCJA spells out, "No deduction otherwise allowable under this chapter shall be allowed for any item … with respect to an activity which is of a type generally considered to constitute entertainment."
This means that giving away sporting event tickets to clients would not be deductible as a promotion, for example.
In a related change, meals for the convenience of the employer – which were previously deductible at 100% – are now limited to 50% deductible.
This would apply to meals for crew members on a fishing boat, for example. Although an unavoidable cost for some employers, such expenses are not fully covered under the TCJA.
Business owners will, however, still be able to deduct the full 100% cost of office parties.
This provision could prove to be sticky.
If a company rented out a day spa for a company party, for example, would that constitute entertainment, making the total cost not deductible? Questions like these may lead to revisions in a future version of the TCJA.
Overall, these changes do leave some room for taxpayer interpretation, meaning that they are likely to end up in tax court.
Someone might ask, for example, if I go to a Mexican restaurant that has mariachis, is that entertainment or a meal? Or, if I go to a comedy show that has a dinner included in the price of the ticket, how would that be treated? The need for a reliable CPA to help you navigate these questions is greater than ever.
Indeed, it's essential for you to have your CPA check your accounting records, confirming that you have separated meals and entertainment into two separate accounts. That will ensure that proper deductions are taken on your business tax return.

Is There a Sustainable Future?
The world appears to be heading into a nosedive, and many different communities around the world have noticed. Of those who are wary, a select few have gotten together, pushing away at the metropolitan cities of millions, the suburban luxuries of the first world, and the standards of popular culture, to try to make something a little more enduring.
These collectives began in their early stages (think American colonies, or barefoot communities in the 60s and 70s), colonies and communes: two words recently associated with cultish behavior or being very reserved from the rest of the world. However, they existed for the sole purpose of creating a better community in their own way. They rejected the ideas of modern society with such fierceness that people on the other side of the spectrum had no opportunity to open up to the possibility that maybe, just maybe, there's something to be learned here.
Whether people believe the world is dying, the climate changes like an eternal seesaw, or that global warming is some foreign-propaganda to tear the American voting community apart, people tend to agree that things are weird right now. Our storms are bigger than ever. Our winters are colder. The ocean coughs up islands of trash and rises with our reliance on fossil fuels. We go to the movies, watch majestic tributes to our natural world, but walk by the trash we see on the beach. People love going to the zoo to get a taste of the wild side, but extremely few are actually willing to go wild.
Thankfully, in 2017, the world is still full of young people, and young people love to go wild. The problem is, people born in the new millennia have increasingly fewer opportunities to connect with nature. Being nurtured in an educational system that values standardized tests over holistic personal development makes it a lot harder for teachers and students alike to consider their potential outside the same cookie-cutter classroom they learn in, every day. And we all have it.
The wonderful thing that sustainable communities realized long ago, was that nature is all around us. It's there, day-in, day-out, waiting to be enjoyed by people. However, it really takes an enterprising spirit to go out into nature and make something happen. Nature is full of sharp sticks, dirt, bugs, weather and other things that have no place in our classrooms. We talk about them in our math problems and read about them in our books, but only rarely are people able to go out into the world and pick up a stick or a shovel and get creative.
Right now, there is an explosion of alternative education programs, taking people out of their dorms and lecture halls, and giving them the opportunity to interact with the world they may have forgotten inside their dorms. With an exploding market of high school and college students, fed up with being told how to walk, talk, think and feel about their education, things are getting even weirder. Today, higher education tends to be taught in a vacuum –with people being given vast amounts of information, on all sorts of topics way outside of their day-to-day lives. And when students aren't given the opportunity to really try on these new ways of thinking, they tend to reject it as bullshit with the same seriousness as our parents may reject the idea of us backpacking through a far part of the world for a few months.
But self implies other, artificial implies organic, and tame implies savagery. If we all considered for a minute, what our mindful-side would say to that trash on the beach, or what we really like to do with our Sunday mornings (jump in the river anybody?), then maybe we will grow a little closer to the earth and each other. By cultivating our own primal spirits, we enrich the earth through our actions. Achieving sustainability in our lives and as part of our world comes with practice. Practice in living in the elements: further away from our digital screens, closer to our wildest dreams, is the easiest way. After a few days and weeks, you start to realize that the planet is not a piggy bank full of resources. It is a harsh place, but it can be lived in. It takes more grit than watching Netflix, and is a whole lot dirtier than only comes when people are willing to take a walk
Over the next few weeks, Jungle Strength will be featuring the work of some of these new trailblazers, and how they are engaging and reshaping their world, getting creative, and using their resources to live their dreams. We look forward to sharing our findings with you, and hearing your thoughts.
Stay Strong, Stay Savage,

Medical Marijuana: Colorado Bans One Form Of This Type Of Medication; New Rules Need To Be Followed
Medical Marijuana has its own controversy up until now. While some states legalize it other does not. Thus, many are protesting and calling it drugs. However, many witnesses and people who are cured by this medication are fighting for it. One state that legalizes this type of medication is Colorado. Hence, many forms are made for adults and kids. One form of the said medication is an edible shape of animals or fruit. Unfortunately, the state calls for a ban.
Recently, the stated banned any form of edible marijuana that is shaped as an animal, fruit or even human. This move that has been conducted by the state was done to heighten the awareness of the marijuana potency and makes the products less appealing to the children. This is according to the statement of the Colorado Department of Revenue.
Also, aside from the ban on the said type of edibles, the new rule also stated that it will establish a new potency labeling requirements. The executive director for the Colorado Department of Revenue, Mike Hartman said that "Marijuana products in shape and branding should not be enticing to children and we want consumers to be educated about the potency of the products they are buying, these rules ensure that to be the case," according to the Denver Channel.
In line, the new rules for potency labels call for the products to be labeled in a way that the font's size is at least larger than the surrounding label text and not less than a 10-point font. The new labels must also be a bold-letter within an outline shape such as square or circle. Also, the labels must be in bright colors. Hartman added that "That really highlighted that we need to take some action here and make sure these products are not to be mistaken, particularly anyone under the age of 21," according to Coloradoan.

Amazon is using an ever-increasing amount of electricity, but ratepayers and local businesses are having to shoulder the burden.
According to a recent article in Bloomberg, cloud technology utilized by Amazon — which is owned by richest person in the world, Jeff Bezos — is responsible for roughly two percent of all electricity usage in the U.S. by itself. However, the internet retail giant has been especially crafty in securing tax breaks that allow it to shift the cost of its sizable utility bill to ordinary taxpayers and local business owners.
Amazon Web Services, along with the company's cloud technology, is largely supported by its data centers, which are located in various states throughout the U.S. and around the world. Bloomberg estimates that Amazon's facilities around the world encompass a total area of 254 million square feet — which would amount to more than one-third of Manhattan.
Even though the data centers themselves don't employ very many people, the company has nonetheless been able to persuade at least two state governments to give them free electricity in exchange for building data centers. This corporate welfare, on top of what Amazon already gets from taxpayers in terms of negative federal income tax rates and workers having to live on public assistance, is essentially a means of shifting cost from Jeff Bezos to everyday ratepayers.
The details of most of Amazon's deals are shielded from taxpayers. In Virginia, for example, Vadata Inc. (an Amazon company) has a 78-page agreement with the commonwealth for additional tax incentives for nearly a dozen new data centers (in addition to its 29 current data centers) is under seal. The only publicly available version is heavily redacted, according to Bloomberg.
The company also apparently has an ongoing arrangement with American Electric Power (AEP) in Ohio. AEP already gave Jeff Bezos' company $77 million in incentives for three data centers two years ago, and now AEP is apparently granting Amazon unknown millions more for roughly 12 more data centers in the future.
"Other businesses and households in Ohio are now bearing all the costs of those riders," Ohio State University economist Ned Hill told Bloomberg, criticizing the deal as "de facto cost-shifting."
Hill is right — whether or not it's a direct correlation to Amazon's various tax incentives for electricity usage, customers are seeing an increase in their rates in both of those states. A January 2018 story for WTVR-TV in Richmond, Virginia reported on one customer with Dominion Energy (Virginia's largest power company) who had a monthly bill of $572. While this individual's bill was likely due to heating their house in the winter, Dominion has already stated plans to raise all of its customers' bills later this year. AEP, in the meantime, wants to raise Ohio customers' fixed fees by 120 percent.
Amazon is one of the most notorious beneficiaries of public tax dollars. In 2017, the company paid a negative federal income tax rate, and actually ended up getting a $789 million tax benefit from the federal government. The Intercept also found that last year, Amazon ranked among the top 20 employers in at least five different states for most employees on food stamps. Even though the company was the 28th largest employer in the state of Arizona in 2017, it ranked fifth in number of employees enrolled in food stamps.

I'm watching an interesting documentary right now, and I'm mostly fascinated with the speech and vocabulary of each character. It got me thinking...When did we start speaking like grown-ups, like true adults?
I've realized that my vocabulary now includes words like: Dichotomy, Sustainable, Juxtaposed, Commitment, Boo, Sweet Pea, and other Adult Words. And let's be clear, by Adult Words, I'm not including or talking about colorful cussing. We all know that you don't have to be an adult to know and exercise such vocabulary.
I'm simply talking about that moment we've transitioned from adolescence to adulthood in the way in which we speak to one another.
And although most of us still feel like awkward teenagers, there's something in our speech that would stress otherwise. But what does it mean to talk like an adult? Perhaps one that speaks from a temperament of patience and wisdom, comfortable in one's own skin, void of pretention, open to critique, and humble at heart. Perhaps this is what our speech is transitioning towards as we include more Adult words. But it may not be the case for everyone.
Which begs the question: Are we talking more like adults or hurt children?

According to latest World Bank data on poverty, released October 2018, 46 percent of the world's population continue to subsist on less than USD 5.50 a day by 2015.
Peoples and their organisations especially in the Global South need to take back economic power, resist the monopoly-led economic system that contributes a large part to worsening inequality.
Antonio Tujan, Jr., IBON International Director, delivers a keynote address on the right to self-determination and the struggle of the West Papuan people.
IBON International will launch a book of case stories of people's organizations claiming and asserting their rights.
On our third year of implementing the 2016-2020 Strategic Plan, IBON International has reaped successes as we strive for our vision of a prosperous, democratic society that is free from inequality and oppression.
Amid rising inequality worldwide and the continued dominance of neoliberal policy norms that infringe on workers' rights, various workers' actions and people's assertions sparked in the global South.
There is a need to assert – especially in Southern countries – that national development strategies should be owned and led by the people.
2017 was a fruitful year as we continued to develop our work in contributing to and in solidarity with Southern peoples' struggles -- with a view towards people's development through rights and sovereignty of the people.
IBON International's Rights-based Democracy or People-powered Democracy (RBD/PPD) framework upholds people's sovereignty, enabling people to claim their rights and hold duty-bearers accountable, as well as self-organise and self-mobilise as development actors in their own right. Given historical and structural inequalities, persistent injustice, and social exclusion that violate people's rights and undermine true democracy, RBD/PPD necessarily goes beyond electoral participation and political representation in governance.

It was such a pleasure to see Mika again! She came for her 6 month milestone session and was full of smiles!! This beautiful family comes to see me from New Albany, Ohio.
Mika's mommy brought an adorable red outfit that her grandmother sent for her! I loved it and I think she looked so adorable wearing it.
Mika also was so happy in my new little antique white bed. I think she wanted to take it with her!! It's always a joy seeing my milestone babies grow. The next time I see Mika, she will be 9 months old, and I can't wait!

Good Luck? you might say… what is this about? It is a funny little story and you will have to ask me about it, but I did have such a wonderful, super time both at Celebrations and my 2 classes in Montreal, hence the French! I probably should say BONJOUR! Bienvenue…. to you all… Celebration of Needlework in the New England states is such a wonderful event, everyone is excited and the designers have made so many special things…. it is just great to see some of the class projects in 'real' – it does truly make a difference seeing things for real rather than on the net. The vendor marketplace is always so nice too, vendors set up lovely booths and it is a stitcher's shopping adventure. I was thrilled to see so many old friends and spend some time with some of you in class, what a treat, it was great to see you! Even though Manchester, NH is really quite close to Montreal — when you think how far west I am in Calgary -but there is no direct flight and so it was a trip over Philly to get to Montreal but it was awesome once I got there. I had some lesson time myself in Schwalm- whitework embroidery, and taught at the Lakeshore Stitchery Guild and a group called Les Brodeuses Québécoises . It was exciting to meet with old friends, having taught at the LSG in 2006- and it was a treat and to meet new stitchers to me at the other guild. It was an adventurous few days in the community where we had the second set of classes as the cadets were practicing for 'Jean Baptiste Day' and it was a fanfare of either "Oh Canada" or other songs that I didn't recognize but they could softly hum to, and I was enchanted, at one point they sang a beautiful song in French to me, it brought tears to my eyes. So you can imagine, music and handwork crosses all language barriers and despite the translating we had a wonderful, memorable time.
Thank so very much to everyone on each part of the journey that made it fun and memorable, to each one of you that participated in a class that I taught, and to new and old friends, I am blessed indeed!
Au revoir…. 'til next time….

Thrive together this holiday season, even if you fight
Going home for the Holidays at my house usually goes something like this:
Spend all day cooking, laughing and prepping. Things are good, everyone is getting along better than expected. Stress sets in because someone is always late, that someone is me. Everyone starts to get annoyed because they have to keep the food warm until we arrive. We eat and force semi-awkward conversations on how everyone is doing and what their life aspirations are. Always sly and subtle critics on my brother's life choices and something about how me being freelance isn't a "real job." Someone tries to deflect the conversation from themselves and either bring up politics or how someone once did this one thing that was wrong. Then, for the finale, we fight. It usually ends in screaming/crying or just everyone retreating to their own rooms.
This is how I grew up, this is how the holidays went, so when I married my husband, Jake, and had my first Thanksgiving at his house where everyone played board games, smiled the entire time, and took a nap after eating I was in complete culture shock.
We came from totally different backgrounds on handling conflict. Jake came from a place with barely any conflict or no conflict, where I came from a family who screamed it out, literally. We all said exactly what we were thinking when we were thinking it.
As we approached the holidays as a couple, we had to not only navigate how to react in each other's families, but we had to face how we as a newlywed family would handle conflict and arguments.
Arguing is unavoidable in marriage or any relationship. You and your partner are going to disagree on something. But, knowing how to argue well and doesn't end in slammed doors and hurt feelings is essential to growing together, These tactics and tips are even true when approaching your family or any relationship, especially this holiday season.
Here are some tips I've compiled over the last three years of marriage:
1. Know that you can be wrong or that you can both be wrong.
We usually argue because we believe we are right and the other person is wrong. No matter how much you believe you are right, there is still a chance you could be wrong. Own that truth, as hard as it is. Loving one another is more important than being right.
2. We (usually) only argue with people we love.
When we believe we are right, we argue with people we care about because we desperately want them to see our perspective and see it as truth. When someone loves us and because they are convinced of what they believe, they will naturally want us to believe as they do. That's reassuring! The person who you love, loves you so much they want you to understand their perspective. Remember that!
3. You are a team.
Approach every argument (family or partner) as a team. You both want the best for each other. Know that, and approach it that way. At the end of this discussion, you are still working together in this world.
4. It's not your job to correct one another.
Gosh dangit, but I want the towels folded my way.
Although we sometimes fall into the trap of believing we must fix our partner, grandparent, sibling, etc. The reality is, it's not your job. You don't have to fix anyone, ever! Okay, unless you're a doctor. But, in this scenario - it's okay to walk away with different outlooks and different perspectives. Let go of shouldering the responsibility of fixing someone. And if they don't fold the towels the way you think they should be folded, that's okay too.
5. Know that two people can see/interpret an experience or idea in completely different ways.
That's okay. Just like you can't fix them, you also don't have the same experiences, lifestyle, interpretation as them. We were all created differently and that's more than okay, it makes the world better. My uncle-in-law always says, if two people have the same idea, one of them is probably useless. Different perspectives help us grow and progress.
My family may still argue during the holidays (if you are reading this fam, I know it has gotten better). But, I like to think it's gotten better at our house around the holidays because we approach each other with more understanding and love. After absorbing this perspective on healthy arguing, my relationship with my husband and the people around me has drastically changed. I listen more, and I talk less.
With this in mind, may your holiday dinner conversations be more about enjoying one another and not about arguing with grandpa about how millennials lack work-ethic. And may your arguments with your partner over folding towels come from a place of understanding.

text: Are you struggling to plug the SME skills gap? 24th March 2014 By Lisa Barber in Make life better for employees Struggling to plug the SME skills gap? Here's why. Plugging the SME skills gap Sales capability has been identified as one of the key skills absent or lacking in today's small to medium-sized businesses and yet, according to a report by Albion Ventures, 36% of SMEs are reporting a tough time hiring the necessary talent to bolster growth. With economic recovery relying on a thriving SME community, how can the existing skills gap be plugged? Don't blame it on 'Gen Y' Some may cite the need for enhanced communication skills of young people coming out of education, blame it on the 'Gen Y' factor, the recruitment agency or the perhaps the shortage in bank lending ... anything but their own failure to give the necessary forethought to the hiring process. There are indeed calls for additional education, investment and time to be spent to help SMEs employ skilled staff but, for the purpose of this post, I'd like to invite you to focus on how you, the employer, can take action, boost your credibility and desirability amongst high-potential employees before the job spec is drafted and encourage talented job seekers to join you ... and then stay. Clarity in business breeds success SMEs that become crystal clear about their objectives from the outset will save considerable fall out later. Deborah Bishop, a Human Resources Professional and Director of Work Tree comments: "I don't think any business is too small to start thinking about their values and their culture. Clarity at the start will help a business recruit and grow with a coherent strategy." And I agree. To my mind, clarity in business breeds success. When you know where you want to be, you can clearly identify what the 'right person' might look like and you become more sensitive to opportunities, personalities and ideas that can help you to reach it. Plus, when your vision is clearly communicated, not only will this help you attract the right kind of talent to your business, but it will also empower your new hires to act and offer solutions in support of your vision once they are on board. If people don't know what goal you have set out to accomplish, they will substitute their own agenda in its place! Neville Pritchard, Chairman of People in Flow Ltd agrees: "I'm convinced that time spent understanding the type of person that the role requires, the level of thinking, the potential the individual has and the value we expect them to contribute is vitally identified ahead of starting the recruitment process. This also enables the quicker integration and contribution of the new hire and drives the engagement considerations from both the employer and employee perspective." Make life better for employees Trading for Good celebrates and supports those companies working to improve the lives of their employees and recognises the importance and significance of employee engagement in driving wellbeing, productivity, efficiency and effectiveness. But engagement enhancing considerations shouldn't just be reserved for induction programmes and beyond. Thinking within the framework of employee engagement can also contribute to the development of a robust recruitment strategy from the outset. As Deborah Bishop suggests: "With employee engagement so important for the success of the business I also think it's important to consider whether you think anyone will want to do the job you have put together and whether they will stay in it. I have seen businesses cobble together a mixture of tasks they are desperate to be completed, but this is not necessarily an attractive job to present to the market, nor is it a strategic way to build your organisation's structure and for those SMEs who hope to grow, mistakes with your structure can be difficult and costly to unpick later." "Costly" indeed! A new report carried out by Oxford Economics reveals that replacing members of staff incurs significant costs for their employers: £30,614 per employee. This is an eye-watering figure in its own right but particularly soul-destroying when also considered in the context of a SMEs already limited marketing budget. Has the importance of people fallen off the radar? SME management can be thoroughly relentless. Leaders describe craving additional clarity, being pulled in every possible direction, doing many jobs but no one job to the very best of their ability and longing to cut through the endless distractions so they can focus where they will have the greatest impact. So with 36% reporting a tough time finding the necessary talent and UK organisations losing up to £2 billion a year in employee productivity due to inefficient induction processes, has thinking within the framework of employee engagement fallen off the radar amidst the chaos and complexity of SME leadership? DR Jill Miller, Research Advisor at CIPD, focuses on great people management and development in SMEs. She has had the pleasure of researching and interviewing a wide range of SMEs for a new project to be launched in May and paints an encouraging outlook for employees working within small to medium-sized businesses. She shares: "Many of them (employers) are doing fantastic things to get the talent they'll need as they continue to grow and expand as a business, with a clear mantra that if they are good enough for us to hire them, then we should invest in them and get the best from them." For those Trading for Good members seeking ways to overcome the challenges associated with hiring the right talent for your business, I invite you to park any preconceived ideas about the availability of suitable candidates for now and focus instead on your own values, culture and objectives before asking yourself the following questions posed by Dr Jill Miller. Does the recruitment process consider the long-term ambitions of the applicant? What can you offer them, especially after the manic, exciting start-up phase where things become a bit more formal? What will encourage people to stay? By taking steps now to achieve some clarity and define your vision, you'll become far more attractive to those with the skill set your business currently lacks. _ _ _ _ Lisa Barber Lisa is a SME Sales and Marketing Mentor and founded Roots and Wings in June 2013.

A First Time Filmmaker's Candid Account of What Really Happens After You Finally Make Your Movie
by Matthew Perkins
It all started in October 2004. Two blue collar college students came up with a heartfelt idea for a movie and committed to make it, no matter what it took. Fast forward --> TEN YEARS LATER.
October 2014. That same blood pact, now an awarding winning film called The Little Tin Man, was released theatrically in New York City and nationwide via video on demand to critical acclaim.
I have always been super frustrated by the way these types of successes are condensed into storybook log lines. It's not helpful for anyone.
"So you turned your concept into content and got it distributed. Good for you… BUT HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU ACTUALLY DO IT?"
Everyone's path is different, but when I started my journey over ten years ago, I had no idea that there would be no roadmap. Or signs. Or even pavement at times.
There certainly isn't a single formula for getting a movie made. But once you beat the "resistance" (as Steven Pressfield calls it in The War of Art — highly recommended, btw), another set of challenges awaits.
I grew up reading the trades and hearing romantic stories about a few films being sold at Sundance and then premiering in New York and LA. But they were the exception to the rule, right? Anomalies. But...
To keep this article digestible, I am going to assume you've found a way to tell your story. It's either "in the can" or "on the hard drive." You're at a point where you can look yourself in the mirror and confidently declare, "I did the best job I could with the resources I had available." (For me, it was $100K raised on Kickstarter for an 18-day shoot). You're now ready to put all of that hard work out into the world and you're resolved to make sure that as many people see your film as possible.
Here's to hoping that you can glean something from my first-time experience with The Little Tin Man.
After being rejected by a few of the festivals known for reporting film sales, we accepted an invitation to world premiere at the Seattle International Film Festival. But this wasn't a consolation. SIFF has a great reputation as an "audience festival" (rather than an "industry festival," per se). And it proved to be a perfect fit. The Little Tin Man not only sold out BOTH of its screenings, but was "one of the most well received films from the 2013 festival" (according to programmer feedback).
I returned to New York excited and humbled by the film's reception, but I didn't know what to do next. I had applied to other festivals, but was not hearing back. Months of silence went by. It really sucked actually. The doubt kicked in. "Was Seattle just a flash in the pan?" Then, out of nowhere, I began receiving screener requests from festival programmers. They had heard about the film and were curious to see it for themselves.
Over the next year, The Little Tin Man screened at nine more festivals around the country, winning both awards and the hearts of audience members, along the way. I was incredibly thankful for each opportunity and had an amazing time presenting the movie to each new audience. It's so fulfilling to sit in the theater and witness a packed house react to your art in real time. And, with a comedy, it's really easy to gauge whether or not it's connecting (measured in laughs, of course).
The festival experience is also educational. Most festivals have panels and lectures about various parts of the industry that can be really insightful. However, the best part was meeting other filmmakers. I had the opportunity to compare war stories and learn from them, not to mention finding potential future collaborators.
With more than 4,000 features submitted each year, Sundance certainly represents a healthy sample of the industry. Everyone knows the lottery of getting in (less than 1%), but then what about the odds of actually getting your film sold?
"If your film doesn't get into a marketplace festival, are you just shit outta luck?"
No! You still have two options: 1) Hire a producer's rep, OR 2) Shop it yourself.
In our case, we didn't have a lot of money in our war chest (remember, it was a micro-budget movie!), but I decided to contact a few producer's reps anyway… just to see what they had to say.
Someone with more experience advised me, "Ask how much the consulting fee is. Be honest that you can't afford it. Then ask if you can defer it to first income. It shouldn't be more than $5000. If they won't defer, it probably means they don't have sufficient confidence in the film. And ask about their expenses."
I sent one rep a screener and he agreed to have a call with me. He was extremely complimentary of the the film. Said he thought it could have a cult following. Predicted that it would make at least six figures. Thought it could have a 20-screen theatrical run. When I asked for specifics, he wouldn't tell me his go-to distribution channels because he "didn't want me to get jinxed."
As for the upfront fee, I asked about deferment and he said he would defer $2500, but we would still owe him $5000. "It's in your best interest so I won't hold you back from taking a better deal." (Um, excuse me?) I told him that we were literally falling over the finish line due to our lack of resources and he said he got it. "Well, you know where to find me." Click.
So… on to Door #2.
We cold-called every distribution company we could think of, asking if they would be interested in the film. A lot of immediate rejections. "No stars? No thanks." But, a handful did eventually request screeners.
And then we prayed.
With three legit offers on the table, we ultimately decided to sign with Gravitas Ventures for our VOD rights. They are known for acquiring a lot of titles, so we knew they had strong relationships with all of the major platforms.
Right out of the gate, they brokered a one-month exclusive streaming deal for The Little Tin Man with Time Warner Cable's Vutopia, then followed this by launching the film on over 20 different VOD platforms nationwide, including iTunes, Amazon, and GooglePlay.
I kept asking myself: could we still do more to reach our potential audience?
To be continued in Part 2...
Matthew Perkins is a NYC-based filmmaker who gladly offers encouragement on long-gestating dream projects and hope-filled Kickstarter campaigns.

Life is complex. We have our interests, and others have theirs. Sometimes, they work in harmony, and sometimes they conflict like nobody's business. I wonder if I make poor judgments about my own interests as they pertain to others. I'm overzealous, and I don't think things through. It's a fault, really.
I am dealing with far too much right now. All I really want is an even playing field, but all I see right now is an uphill climb.


text:
The process of self-inquiry teaches us to notice when we are being judgmental and invites us to reinterpret our old views. But often, as we're learning not to judge our neighbors, we forget not to judge ourselves. We judge ourselves for what we see as our past mistakes, while, at the same time, judging ourselves for how we are now. We wish we were more spiritual and less ego focused; more forgiving and less judgmental; more compassionate and less ignorant of others' needs. We wish we were more of this, and less of that. We concoct an idea of what a spiritual person should be like, and judge ourselves for not being quite like that ideal we made. We strive to love others more while we're hating on ourselves by judging ourselves. That makes no sense, and yet, we keep shoulding on ourselves.
Let's start this day by ending the process of shoulding on ourselves. We have been shoulding on ourselves for years and for lifetimes, and that hasn't brought us peace. Let's try instead to practice radical approval of ourselves: I place the limitless arms of love around all of my past, current and future thoughts, judgments and decisions. Only love is powerful enough to embrace all things, and by trusting love, I learn to trust my true self and I learn that I am love.
Guess what part of you judges, no matter whether you judge others or yourself? Yes, the ego. And because the ego is a fearful thought, anything the ego makes is made of fear. Do you ever judge yourself or others out of love? Of course not. And since love and fear are the only emotions we experience, judgment must be fear. Every time you judge, you therefore compound fear. Every time you catch yourself shoulding on yourself, know that fear (which is ego) is seeking to strengthen itself.
The real you has no need to judge at all because it rests in perfect knowledge, which is a state beyond interpretation. The true self doesn't care how you are as a person because spirit, which is your true self, knows that you are not a person. To say I'm not a person may seem scary and confusing. It is most definitely threatening to the ego. What it means, however, is that you are not the story of you that you came up with over the years of this life. The story of me may portray me either as a successful person or as a disadvantaged person, either as a victim or a victimizer. But none of those interpretations are who I truly am. To say I am not a person is to say that I am not my history; I am not the "story of me," as Eckhart Tolle calls it.
Judgment is simply an interpretation. As you know, an interpretation is not necessarily the truth. Judgment is a thought that you have not investigated, a thought you have not questioned. I should be skinnier. I shouldn't watch TV. I should meditate every day. I shouldn't eat gluten. Ask yourself where all these shoulds and shouldn'ts come from. Start the process of self-inquiry by questioning your judgments, which are simply uninvestigated thoughts. Are your judgments even your own thoughts, or are they the thoughts of your parents, your friends, your society?
This world gives us plenty evidence on what happens when thoughts are not investigated, but simply perpetuated: war, discrimination, prejudice, social stigma. Generation after generation blindly follows stale thought patterns, making the same judgments their predecessors did, and insisting that their interpretations are the truth.
But we don't have to look at the warring far-away countries or misogynist cultures to see the effects judging has. What about the everyday judging we do to ourselves? You can't judge others without judging yourself and you can't judge yourself without judging others. Judgment is judgment. The good news is that judgment of others is undone as you undo self-judgment. The one can't exist without the other. So if you feel noble and righteous when you judge the despicable acts of others, know that you are also judging yourself. Your view of the despicable other will shift as you start to look into your own self judgments and question their validity. This is how the process of undoing of all judgment starts: by undoing self judgment. What seems to be without is forgiven as you forgive what's within.
Become an observer of your own thoughts. When a judging thought arises, when there is a should or shouldn't, remember that judgments are simply thoughts that have not been investigated. Then you'll have a choice: you will either align with the uninvestigated thought or you'll stay open to the possibility that there may be a different interpretation to that thought.
When you know thought to be a temporary perspective, thought is beautiful! Every thought is a judgment. As long as you know that, it's fine. (Eckhart Tolle)
Our goal is not so much to relinquish all judgment, but to stop judging ourselves for having judged. When you judge yourself for having judgmental thoughts, remember this simple imagery: where there was one judgment, now there are two, and that means more judgment. When we remember that judgment stems from fear, and that fear and love are the only emotions we have, then it follows that to undo judgment, we have to choose love. Choosing love means owning the decisions we already made, and wrapping them in a blanket of love and acceptance instead of judgment and fear. But choosing love also means being willing to investigate thoughts that don't come from love. With patience and trust, you will choose love more often than fear, and ultimately there won't even be any need for judgment because you will rest in the perfect knowledge of your true nature.
Your true self can't judge and can't even conceive of the need to judge. The part of you that judges is the ego, and the ego is not even a part of you because it's just a fearful thought that you keep in place because you believe it. When judgment of any kind enters your mind, remember that only love is powerful enough to embrace all things. And just like light shines away darkness effortlessly, love with which you embrace all your thoughts will shine away the fear on which any judgment rested. And the house built on fear will crumble as if it never existed because you will realize that it was an illusion all along.
Judgment and love are opposites. From one
Come all the sorrows of the world. But from
The other comes the peace of God Himself.

The 5K
I did it!! Yesterday I actually did a 5km. It wasn't a race, or a run and there was no competition involved. Just the way I wanted it.
I cried a lot of the morning, because it was much more overwhelming than I expected. As I was waiting at the start line a woman standing nearby said to me 'I'm pleased you're running for the Meningitis Research Foundation, we need it, I lost my niece to meningitis'. Well, that started me off!
There are only few circumstances in life, unfortunately, where the majority of people at an event are disabled. It's one of those those about being a part of a minority, you look around often and see nobody 'like you'. Disabled kids experience it at school, disabled people experience it daily in the street, the questions, the stares, the feeling yourself that you're standing out, that you're not the same. It kind of confidence-knocking, and hard sometimes, when just like most people you just want to be anonymous.
At Parallel London, the majority of people DO have disabilities and I can't tell you have amazing it felt. Just knowing that a lot of people there know the difficulties felt by daily pain, constant sympathy and inspiration porn was heartwarming and strengthening as I set off on the 5km.
The hashtag of the day was #sidebyside and it really felt like that was the case. There were loads of people cheering us on, other people taking part smiling, laughing, enjoying. Parents pushing their kids in wheelchairs, kids with walkers, people with all types of disabilities. I had written on my back 'ten years since beating meningitis' and people congratulated me, patted me on the back and wished me well. Needless to say I cried a lot.
I was doing it because for that reason, to mark the fact it's been 10 years since I had this horrible, horrible disease, to raise money, and just enjoy the day with others. That's why I chose to do it at Parallel London and I'm so pleased I did.

A Russian Ballet
Tchaikovsky rehearsal, Music Center, DTLA
It's simple– the purpose of life is to heal our wayward world. Generation by generation, in a steady climb from the pit of despair mankind has tumbled into, we must always strive to atone for and not repeat the sins of our fathers. We've been reflecting on this issue because the convenient nexus of Government and American Media, seems to be guiding our nation into repeating a dark chapter of Western history– Cold War.
In complete contrast, on a warm weekend in June, the Music Center hosted the Eifman Ballet of Saint Petersburg whose company gave a command performance of, Tchaikovsky. Pro et Contra. The Ballet, as you can imagine, illustrated the life of legendary Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky with an emphasis on his complex human nature.
"I see every ballet that comes to the Music Center and Tchaikovsky was the best I've seen in Los Angeles," said one theatergoer. "What struck me the most was their strong masculine presence. The man that played Tchaikovsky was incredible."
Soloist Oleg Gabyshev, is the artist of whom she speaks.
On Thursday night, during a final rehearsal before Friday's opening, we had the opportunity to sit down with Oleg. We were shocked. He wasn't the brooding Russian dancer our American stereotypes had us shamefully expecting. Instead, he was boyish, approachable and the expression of his eyes was kind and genuine.
"My family is from a military background. That's why my mom made sure I was doing something completely different, like art," Oleg says via the interpretation of tour manager, German Gureev. "When I was a child, she was told I had a gift for expressing myself through body language. I was also in a school choir at that time but gradually it became clear that singing wasn't my first talent," he says with an infectious laugh.
Oleg's deep voice quietly fills the empty Music Center rehearsal hall and, suddenly, we understand why he's playing Tchaikovsky. He has a quality that historically all great artists have– deep sensitivity that calls for leading the world to a better place, a brighter future, or as Oleg will later put it, a "raising of the soul."
"It wasn't love at first sight," Gabyshev acknowledges. "It took five years of education before I recognized a deep devotion for the art of ballet within myself."
He began his career training at the Novosibirsk State Choreographic College and upon graduating in 2003, was accepted into the Novosibirsk State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre. We're told that the Novosibirsk Ballet is the largest company in Siberia. With an emphasis on classical ballet, Oleg became very well versed with their extensive repertoire; even so, he was ultimately left feeling unfulfilled.
"I came to the understanding that I wanted to perform something more emotional, more expressive, without the strong boundaries that are imposed on classical dancers," says Oleg.
Close to the end of his first year, The Eifman Ballet performed at the Novosibirski Theatre. Oleg was taken with their contemporary approach to ballet and upon seeing several of their performances realized matter of factly, "This is the type of dance I'm looking for." He auditioned soon after and has been dancing with them ever since.
During the 12 years that Oleg has been with the company, Maestro Borris Eifman made Oleg one of his go-to leading men. In this production he plays Tchaikovsky, which speaks for itself; furthermore, Oleg played lead Dick Diver, for Up & Down (Eifman's jazz era ballet); Count Vronsky, in Anna Karenina; Treplev, in The Seagull; Onegin, in Eugene Onegin; Rodin, in Rodin; and Don Juan, in Don Juan.
When asked what he loves about dance he simply explains, "The feeling of freedom and distance from the other problems of the world."
TECH Rehearsal, Dorothy Chandler, DTLA
Ethereal sounds of music fills the hall, signaling all present to finish their conversations. Rehearsal starts so casually and effortlessly, we find ourselves wondering if we're still dreaming. One moment, Oleg is introducing us to his fellow soloist, Oleg Markov, "Oleg is playing Tchaikovsky on Sunday," he proudly exclaims; and in the next, Oleg dons a white gown as he lay dying on a bed in the center of a white room.
Tchaikovsky opens with its namesake wrestling with the decisions he's made during his life, whilst angels and demons fight for his soul. From downstage center, their teacher Olga Kalmykova, who has a surprisingly deep voice, holds a microphone and directs the ensemble. On occasion, she completely stops the run-through to make an adjustment. A clear intensity is present in the room but humor is not far away. Amid one scene, the entire gathering giggles at a large nutcracker that Oleg and a few others twirl about.
When not rehearsing, members of the cast sit on the sides of the room scrolling through phones or working on movements with partners. There's also a table in the corner for trainers to address any injuries or sore muscles. Perhaps our favorite detail we can plainly observe are sunburns on the backs of several dancers. We've been told that the company has been soaking up California sun during their off days at the beach!
"I love the city, the mountains and the landscape," says Oleg of Los Angeles. "However, the Ocean is what gives vibrancy to everything else." We inquire if there's something about the ocean that inspires him specifically, "Its power and how one feels among its particles."
"What about food?" we naively question. "Is there a food in LA that you like to eat?"
He smiles at the query then says, "Food is difficult for me. I like yogurt." Looking at his chiseled features we suddenly feel the need to examine our own eating habits. Oleg confides in us that he tries to be a vegetarian but others frequently give him a hard time.
"How can you not eat meat?" they interrogate. "You're a premier Russian dancer. You need protein!" Oleg shakes his head with a look of, 'What can you do?'. We cheekily respond, "Where does a horse get his protein from?" Everyone twitters.
As an art form, ballet has taken beloved roots in nearly every corner of our world. Yet it's no secret that ballet, or at least how ballet is portrayed, seems archaic to much of humanity's youth who'd quicker spend their cash on a Kendrick Lamar concert than Swan Lake.
"I'm optimistic about ballet," says Oleg when asked about young people. "I want to believe that the modern audience is not that disconnected from dance."
Ballet's continued legacy is a subject that Oleg has been recognized as an authority on. In 2014, he received the Russian Federation Presidential Prize for Young Cultural Professionals. President Vladimir Putin himself awarded Oleg for, "Developing Russia's choreographic traditions and popularizing Russia's classical ballet heritage."
His belief is that the world is in love with dance and all the evidence you need is made quite obvious within popular culture itself. "Once they discover how joyful movement is, then they can understand some of the finer forms of dance art," Oleg states emphatically. "I also think that other types of dancers, such as street dancers, will find something important for themselves when they watch our production," he comments. "Because movement is life."
"It's a special feeling being on tour– it's inspiring for me," Gabyshev says of what it means to represent his country abroad. "The most exciting element is meeting new people and seeing different sides of human nature."
Certainly this is an interesting time for any Russian to visit the United States. Congress recently approved greater economic sanctions, the Trump Administration ordered the closure of a Kremlin consulate in San Fransisco and the New York Times is publishing Op-Ed pieces entitled, A Much Bigger Problem Than Putin. We can only imagine how vulnerable it must feel to bear your heart on an American stage amidst such anti-Russian hostility.
"It can be difficult for one culture to understand what another culture is trying to communicate," admits Oleg. "The most important thing is to be honest and sincere with yourself, then one can communicate clearly because it comes from a place of honesty."
We rally, "What would you like our people to know about your people? Beyond what the propaganda tells us..." The word 'propaganda' completely changes his tone.
"Propaganda tries to manipulate people. The average Russian on the street is very different than what is being portrayed. We're a generous and open people," he declares with conviction. "It's not about making distinctions between people based on their nation– good and bad people exist everywhere. It's about being open and embracing humanity's wide range of diversity." We couldn't agree with him more.
Nevertheless, we're grateful that American cultural epicenters, such as the famed Music Center, continue to invite peace and understanding through the universality of Art. And according to Oleg, the people of Los Angeles also agree with us.
"LA was the warmest and most supportive audience we experienced while on tour," Gabyshev divulged during our photoshoot at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. "The audience applauded every little thing we did and there was a standing ovation each night. We're really surprised. It's a great feeling!" No surprise here. The City of Angels knows real talent.
Oleg Gabyshev, Soloist
Final Thought
Oleg revealed something profound before rehearsal began that we want to share with our readers. "There's a ballet we do called Up & Down. It tells the story of the ascension and dissension of the human soul. How quickly humans can plummet to their doom but how slow and strong is the rising of the soul."
"Is the raising of the soul important to you?"
"Yes," he replies with a childlike grin. "We have to try, every day."

FAIR: Poverty Undercovered in Network News
Fairness and Accuracy in Media, the watchdog group whose mission is, in part, to identify neglected news stories, said poverty is one of them.
In a content analysis of the major broadcast-network nightly newscasts, FAIR said they have provided "astonishingly little" coverage beyond the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
FAIR pointed out that according to Census Bureau figures, 37 million families live below the poverty level of an annual income of just under $20,000.
According to its study of 38 months' worth of stories on the evening newscasts of ABC, CBS and NBC, just 58 stories aired that focused on poverty, with NBC airing the most, followed by CBS and ABC. In contrast, FAIR said, 69 stories aired about Michael Jackson over the same time period.
"We do our best to cover the most important news of the day, every day, in the 22 minutes we have," CBS News spokeswoman Sandy Genelius said.

For the FW/2014 #SNEAKERSWOULD campaign, Converse gave us a dream brief: create a "never before done" piece of storytelling to motivate their audience to reject boring and choose the more creative path in life. We answered with a browser extension called The Ticket that turned boring banner ads into over 125 original films, games, photos, gifs and "now-or-never opportunities" that gave people 10 seconds to claim free tickets to gigs and parties in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, London, Paris and more.
My Role: Creative & Design
Converse loved the idea so much that we extended it to IRL opportunities like cabs and buses that swoop through cities, randomely picking people up for shows and offering more now-or-never opportunities
To tease the campaign in markets, we put out a series of provocations, preparing our audience to make split-second decisions when the opportunity comes their way.

Why is Goat Milk Soap Good for Your Skin?
After days of no showering with a new baby you may be thinking it's time for one (a shower that is..) But, your baby remembers you by that special scent, right?
It's OK!! There is soap that's even gentle enough to use on that brand new bundle of joy. When you can't even take a shower or bath by yourself anymore, bring 'em on in. Trust me, I've been there... 4 times. And that's nothin' compared to my mom that had 8 (babies that is..)!
There are so many things that you can use goat milk for, but soap??!!
Yes! It makes the best soap.
I used to have cracks on my hands & knuckles every winter. Like, bad. Seriously bad. It took awhile, but after using goat milk soap for a few weeks, no more cracks. That totally sounds like an infomercial, but we have other testimonials from real customers!
We have families that have rid themselves of rashes or eczema, and can't believe how soft their skin is after using goat milk soap!!
Now, for the title of the blog...
"Why is goat milk soap better for my skin than soap at the store?"
Homemade soap:
Is natural - the way our ancestors made soap.
It contains glycerin naturally, which attracts moisture from the air to the skin.
Goat milk makes the soap even more moisturizing.
Contains good-for-you oils.
Has naturally occurring vitamins if made with goat milk
The oils I use can vary depending on what outcome I need in the finished bar. Like my Facial Bar has more coconut oil for more cleansing, and Butter Bar has more butters & olive oil to make it great for dry winter skin.
"So what's so bad about store bought soap?"
Commercial Soap:
Strips your skin of moisture (instead of adding it back)
Sometimes the glycerin is removed to resell for use in making lotions & creams.
Contains chemicals that you can't pronounce.
Is more like detergent
Now, if you stick a bar of soap in your eye, it's gonna burn whether it's handmade or the "turtledove" soap at the store. But my kids claim it doesn't burn (I think it does, but if it makes them take a shower, my work here is done!)
I have a lot of people ask "How on earth do you make soap out of GOAT MILK??!!"
I have to say, the first time making soap I was very scared about screwing something up. I mean, I'd be working with lye!
And, Yes, you have to use lye (sodium hydroxide) to make soap or it's not really soap.
Yes, lye is dangerous, I wear goggles while making soap (don't want any splatters in my eyeballs while stick blending!)
"OK, so, why are you telling me this, it will scare me from using natural homemade soap?!" "How can this be safe to use?"
Well, in your finished soap there is NO lye. When you mix lye with a liquid (goat milk, beer, coffee, water) then blend with melted oils, it goes through a chemical process called saponification. That chemical process changes the oil into soap and glycerin. So no lye is present in the final product.
It really is a science, wait, didn't I say I'd never need that after school??
All the oils are melted together in a glass bowl (no metal, and no plastic unless you want your plastic to taste like soap). Lye is added to frozen goat milk and completely dissolved before adding to the oils. Once the lye/milk mixture is added to the oils you stick blend until it just starts to get thick. That's when I add essential oils, fragrance oils, colors or none of the above, and pour into a 5 pound mold.
The soap loaf then goes into our freezer for 6-8 hrs. (or a day if I forget about it). This is because the goat milk causes the soap to heat up, you wouldn't believe how hot it really gets. I started out not doing this step and would get huge cracks in the top of the soap from the heat trying to escape. So into the freezer it goes.
A couple days later it can be unmolded and sliced.
But, it's not ready to be used yet! This natural soap has to cure for 4-6 weeks to make a hard, long-lasting bar of luxurious skin loving soap. For impatient people like us, it's hard to do, but necessary.
Ready to pamper yourself with soft moisturized skin?

Obama, Karzai ink long-awaited strategic deal (Video)
Obama, Karzai ink long-awaited strategic deal (Video)
KABUL (PAN): President Hamid Karzai and his American counterpart signed the much-awaited strategic partnership agreement between Afghanistan and the United States at the Presidential Palace in Kabul late on Tuesday night.
US Ambassador to Afghanistan Royan Crocker, International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) commander Gen. Johan Allen, National Directorate of Security (NDS) chief Rahmatullah Nabil, National Advisor on Security Dr. Rangin Dadfar Spanta and other high-level officials from both sides attended the landmark signing ceremony.
Karzai and Barak Obama, who quietly flew into Kabul in the evening, inked the pact at about 12 midnight after addressing a gathering at the heavily-guarded palace.
Karzai welcomed his US counterpart and thanked him for his unannounced visit, saying: "With the signing of the agreement the chapter of the past 10 years will be closed and a new chapter of mutual relations will be opened. Our two independent countries start the relations on the basis of close friendship, mutual respect and commitments."
Signing two crucial memorandums of understandings between the US and Afghanistan on handing over control of the Bagram jail and night-time raids to Afghans facilitated the conclusion of the strategic agreement, Karzai remarked.
