ADHD! It's All Mishegoss
By Mark-John Clifford
ADHD or ADD! What do you think of when you hear those terms? Does the word Mishgoss pop into your head? Mishegoss, Yiddish for insane, madness, and crazy. Sometimes those terms define your feelings when you live with ADHD. Patti and I try to help make these feelings make sense by talking about our own experiences living with ADHD. We're the UNCOLA of content. We're unedited, unscripted, & refreshingly real. We're real people talking about real-life issues living with ADHD, from family to business and everything in between.

ADHD & Energy Levels
It's all about energy. How much we have is up to you.
October 14, 2019
ADHD & Mischief
Is there anything wrong with being a little mischievous? Kids do it why can't adults? Why do we blame ADHD on us or our kids being a little mischievous? There's nothing wrong with it. We should be more mischievous in life. Kids learn from it. Kids expand their horizons from it so why not us? Shouldn't we dare the exciting once in a while? There's something do it I believe and there's no blaming ADHD or ADD. You could I guess, but why?
October 11, 2019

Nowhere else in Los Angeles could the public have access to such an impressive collection of panelists or attain such valuable information and networking opportunities as was in abundance at the Broad Humor Film Festival, now in its sixth year at the Electric Lodge in Venice, California. It was an extraordinary day of seminars as industry insiders dispensed first rate insights on the nuts and bolts of filmmaking. In the course of one day, attendees were taken on a tour of the entire filmmaking process, from development to distribution, and where entertainment professionals across the spectrum of filmmaking shared their gold nuggets for success, their own personal tricks of the trade.
Moderated by Kevin Winston of DigitalLA.net, Broad Humor's DIY Day hosted speakers who each, in addition to giving a million little tips, had at least one big take-away idea to help any production at every stage of content production or exhibition.
Why The Web?
Chris Thomes (VP, Digital Media Studios @ Disney ABC TV Group) discussed how the internet makes it possible for content providers to identify and serve the audience you are aiming for. While studios spend big on focus groups, some of the most valuable information for planning can be gotten by going online and asking some simple questions about how people feel as opposed to what they think. Erika Cervantes (President, Co-Founder Comediva) spoke on how video and editorial content for women is on the rise. In an industry that is still lopsidedly employing and representing men, women's content and female content creators are finding their legs in this ubiquitous marketplace.
The word from this Production Value panel was unanimously preparation. An ounce or pre-production is worth… well, priceless. Filmmaker and professional gaffer Stephanie Syd Yang discussed how planning and creativity could be the answer for filmmakers on a budget (which means all of us). Similarly, Todd Rohrbacher, Founder of the Actors Comedy Studio, drove home the importance of rehearsal time for your actors, giving them what they need to do what they do best. In an art form that is often racing the clock, one of the best ways to take care of your story is to take care of your talent.
The Invisible Edit
Post does not have to be a four letter word. Musician/ Sound engineer Heather Yonker (Madison Media Institute) talked about the popular fallacy of "fix it in post" in relationship to production sound. Putting on a set of headphones rather than assuming your mike is picking up what your ears are hearing, will save the headache of constant wind flutter or a humming refrigerator under your dialogue. Editor Michelle Clay (The Road to Sundance) gave the audience a before and after demonstration of small ways to give a film project polish and avoid pitfalls that "out" filmmakers as amateurs; ways that only cost time, rather than dollars. Moni Boyce (Co-Owner, Managing Director of Greenhouse Studios) expanded on both points and discussed how bumping up the production values of a film project can be a smart and ultimately cost effective expense that should be figured into any film budget.
Upload or Die
Anna Wenger, head of physical production at FOD, brought along a bunch of gals from Funny or Die to this festival aimed at female-generated comedic content. While the traditional channels of movies have only recently been able to see that funny and female can go together, the web has no gatekeeping except laughter. Allison Hord, Betsy Koch, Christin Trogan, Juliet Seniff & Lauren Palmigiano all have been creating comedic content for the web with success. They brought samples of their work and talked about approaches for anybody interested in getting a laugh online.
Next Kevin Winston led the discussion on Distribution Options - getting your work out there. More than ever, there are little known avenues for media content makers of all kinds. Linda Olszewski (Shorts International) discussed a number of partnerships with distribution outlets and what they are looking for in terms of content. Cindy Marie Jenkins (Social Impact Consulting) gave great tips on building you visibility, aka your brand, and finding that audience that is waiting for your content. Susan Johnston (New Media Film Festival) offered intriguing exhibition tips for the less-than-money-savvy filmmaker (again, most of us). Jason Brubaker (Filmmaking Stuff) turned the audience on to several networking and distribution resources free on the web, virtually under the average filmmaker's nose.
While many filmmakers consider themselves storytellers first, the Ducks in a Row panel drove home the powerful point of monetizing your art in the name of survival. Leimomi Coloretti (Director of Outreach and Development, for Media Services) who served as moderator for the panel, led the discussion on various alternatives and eletronic solutions to managing budgets, schedules and production organization. Greg Monterrosa of My LLC fielded an avalanche of questions about how to make a creative entity also a legitimate business entity. Jim Fitzgerald of LightSPEED Entertainment Production Software offered some creative and budget friendly alternatives to the traditional production management model with a focus on affordability.
Attendees of the Broad Humor DIY Day enjoyed a slew of useful and informative seminars with the opportunity to meet up-close and personal, the folks who are working and succeeding in this fickle, labyrinthine business for the insane price of $50 for the whole day. This was the first workshop day of its kind for Broad Humor, the best kept secret in a sea of LA film festivals. The little film festival that can – and year after year does - in a big way!

Help Make Annapolis Certifiably Wild
Annapolis is a city with a green ethic. We've been cultivating greenspaces for half a century with street-end parks, our Greenscape city beautification program, our commitment to cover half the city with a tree canopy and our cooperative program with Baltimore Gas and Electric to plant the right tree in the right place.
Beyond those greenspaces to nourish wildlife, we've installed osprey nesting sites and made purple martin and bat houses fixtures in city parks. Beaver that made a home in the Spa Creek watershed near Cherry Grove Avenue were protected in a conservation area under the Annapolis Conservancy. At the city landfill off Defense Highway, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service helped create a seven-acre site friendly to rabbits, chipmunks and birds.
Environmental signs throughout the city help people appreciate our natural resources, and tough city laws protect them. Our landmark nickel-a-day-for-the Bay program, for example, created a stormwater utility law long before the county or state.
Many city businesses have joined in, creating green roofs and bio-swales. Horn Point Marina, for one, its parking lot awash after every rain, created flowering rain gardens and engaged the students at Eastport Elementary School to cover the shed with a mural about nature. Signage describes the value of rain garden habitats. The Hyatt Building and Park Place are among five others that have green roofs.
Now's the time for our good works to stand out so we can be counted by the National Wildlife Federation as a Certified Wildlife Community. Fifty-six U.S. cities, counties and towns — homes to over six million people — have earned that certification. So far only one — Takoma Park — is in Maryland.
Can Annapolis Pass the Test?
To join that elite number, Annapolis needs to meet three main requirements.
1. Certification of five public common areas. Annapolis, as you've read above, has many more. The city's public contribution to wildlife habitat is pretty secure.
2. Certification of five schools with schoolyard habitats as outdoor classrooms where students learn about ecosystems and local wildlife. All the Annapolis schools have joined in Greenscape, beautifying school grounds with trees and flowers. Eastport Elementary, Green Street Elementary, Tyler Heights, West Annapolis and Adams Park have received green certification from the state or other recognition for protecting their greenspaces by planting trees and gardens for flowers and vegetables and fruit. So our schools are carrying their part of the load.
3. Certification of 150 backyards that contain plants that sustain native wildlife and the three Bs: bees, butterflies and birds.
For its population of 36,000, the city needs 150 home gardens that provide water, food and cover for wildlife, a smorgasbord of delights for the three Bs. Gardens sustain natives in hardened times and ensure pollination essential to the habitat's rebirth and food for creatures.
Only 33 Annapolis properties are now registered.
Stand Up and Be Counted
Annapolis is no doubt home to more than the 150 backyard wildlife habitats needed for certification. To help the city get National Wildlife Federation certification as a wildlife sanctuary, your yard has to be counted. You nominate and certify yourself.
Undoing also helps restore habitat. While protecting our land, hardscape borders of stone and creosoted bulkheads have also reduced the population of horseshoe crabs and terrapins, which lay eggs in soft sand.
Join 140,000 families and register your wildlife friendly yard now. Your yard can be certified online at www.nwf.org/nwfgarden; 800-822-9919 code 96702.

|Spirit of giving at the Gantt Center
|Philanthropy benefits culture, community
|Published Wednesday, August 7, 2013 10:28 am
In observance of Black Philanthropy Month, interviews in this series feature African Americans engaged in multiple facets of philanthropy and focus on interests and concerns, 50 years after Martin Luther King's iconic "I Have A Dream" speech.
Tiffany Legington Graham
|Tiffany Legington Graham
Director of Advancement, Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture
Hometown: Buena Park, Calif.
Years in Charlotte: 1.5 years
EDUCATION: University of Southern California, B.S. Industrial & Systems Engineering/ B.A. Mathematics; Georgia Institute of Technology, M.S. Industrial & Systems Engineering.
PREVIOUS POSITIONS: Director of development, Tulane University; Freeman School of Business; and prior to that a 10-year career in retail strategy working with such clients as Gap Inc., L.L. Bean and Talbots.
PHILANTHROPIC INVOLVEMENT: Treasurer, South Charlotte Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc.; National Convention Planning Committee, Jack and Jill of America Inc.; Board Member, Girl Talk Foundation, Inc.
BLACK PHILANTHROPY IS . . . A deep obligation to invest in our communities and each other.
• What is your first memory of generosity?
My parents were both educators in the Los Angeles Unified School District and like most teachers, they were deeply committed not only to their students, but to their students' families as well. In particular, I remember my mother buying clothing and shoes for her students, paying for lunches when their family could not afford it, as well as buying school supplies for them. And we all know how underpaid teachers are, so this was a sacrifice for my parents to do this.
How does that memory influence your philanthropy and your work in the field of philanthropy?
In addition to my parents, most of my extended family members were largely educators in public schools, and so I grew up with an understanding and an obligation to serve, and that it takes all of us to build a great community. I would consider my parents to be philanthropists, even on their middle-income salaries, and I've learned that you don't need millions of dollars to give back and make a difference.
• You're involved in fundraising at the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture. Please tell us more about the history and mission of the Gantt Center.
The Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts+Culture (formerly the Afro-American Cultural Center) was founded in 1974, and exists to present, preserve and celebrate the art, history and culture of African Americans and those of African descent through dance, music, visual and literary arts, film, educational programs, theatre productions and community outreach. Named for Harvey B. Gantt, the prominent Charlotte architect and community leader and former Mayor of Charlotte, the Center is housed in an inspired and distinguished award-winning structure and is home to the nationally celebrated John and Vivian Hewitt Collection of African-American Art.
The Center envisions a multi-cultural, multi-generational community with a shared commitment to the contributions of African Americans and those of African descent, empowered to realize their own potential to make a difference and joined together to build a better future.
The Gantt Center exists to:
Further civic engagement
Be a catalyst for cultural and artistic development
Be a resource for historic and cultural inquiry
Instill pride while educating all
• How does the Gantt Center set out to "present, preserve and celebrate" African-American art, history and culture?
The Gantt Center has three strategic objectives:
Priority #1: K-12 Education. We seek to enrich the education of K-12 students by serving as a resource for teachers via lectures and workshops provided by artists and other partners that integrate national Core Curriculum standards to support learning goals. This includes the development of curriculum and engaging programming related to our exhibitions. We intend to rejuvenate existing partnerships with public and private schools while strengthening collaborative programming with cultural partners.
Priority #2: Collections & Exhibitions. We will showcase exhibitions that elevate the Gantt Center's stature in Charlotte, the region, nationally, and internationally. Gantt Center galleries will continue to feature renowned artists of the African diaspora. We will also leverage opportunities to create exhibitions originating from the Gantt Center collection and loans from private and corporate collections, and other institutions. The Gantt Center will share its collection through traveling exhibitions and loans to other institutions. Programming will complement the Center's mission and vision, and link to its exhibitions and extensive art collection.
Priority #3: Regional Impact—"Beyond the Walls." The Gantt Center will continue to be a key contributor in the southeast region showcasing African-American and African contributions to art, history, and culture. This strategy, which includes performing arts, symposiums, traveling programs, and digitally based access, will then expand the Gantt Center's prominence in the cultural arts community. Our intention is to expand our reach geographically to those who do not have access or opportunity to visit the Center, as well as demographically to those of non-African descent who otherwise might not be inclined to engage.
Why and how did you become connected to the work of the Gantt Center?
When I first arrived in Charlotte over a year ago, I connected with several colleagues in the fundraising and development field and one of them in particular was managing the search for the Director of Advancement position at the Center. After several interviews and conversations, I was offered the role. Of all the positions I've held in my career, this role is especially personal for me because my mother is a huge collector of African-American artifacts from the 19th and early 20th centuries. I spent my childhood going to African-American museums and lots of antique stores!
• What exhibits and programs do you have on the horizon?
Right now, we are proud to partner with Wells Fargo to showcase The Kinsey Collection: Shared Treasures of Bernard and Shirley Kinsey—Where Art and History Intersect, now through October 12. This collection features art and artifacts examining 400 years of the African-American experience, including an early copy of the Emancipation Proclamation.
In late October, we will open with three equally exciting new exhibits—Question Bridge: Black Males (multi-media exploration of Black male identity in America); I SEE YOU (black and Latina female body image and gendered stereotypes); and Identity of a Master: Dr. Eugene Grigsby, Jr. (works and life of the acclaimed painter).
• What are some of your thoughts on where America stands 50 years after Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech?
We've come a long way since King's "I Have a Dream" speech—it's a completely different world today than it was 50 years ago. I honestly never thought we would have an African-American President of the United States in my lifetime! My children are definitely growing up with different perspectives than even I did, and it's particularly impactful when they see someone who looks like them at the helm of this country. However, the dream has not yet been completely fulfilled. There are still inequities that exist related to race, gender, and other socio-economic issues that must continue to be addressed.
• When it comes to society or our community, what is your "dream" or aspiration?
I would like to see more support for organizations like the Harvey B. Gantt Center. It seems like we don't truly appreciate institutions or particular individuals until they are gone or are in trouble. I would love to see more families getting involved in educating their children about African-American contributions to this country (whether you're African American or not!). It is so important that we pour into each other and support anything that will move our communities forward. Don't wait for someone else to do it. Each of us has something that we can contribute.
• In terms of your philanthropic endeavors, what's your "mountaintop" or highest achievement to date?
For a perfectionist like myself, I would say that I'm still striving for that mountaintop achievement. There is always more work that can be done and more contributions to make!
• Name a book that has shaped your philanthropy.
It may sound cliché, but there really is no higher book on philanthropy than The Bible. I strive everyday to do His work and to be a blessing to someone else. The best teachings are from Jesus' example.
Describe some of the ways that readers can support arts and cultural institutions, especially those that focus on communities of color.
Give! Give your time, your talents, your money. Particularly as non-profits, there are a wide variety of needs and it's impossible to do the great work that we do for the community without the financial and human resources. Contact your local organizations and ask what you can do to help. Find ways to connect those institutions to resources and partners who can help further the mission.
Please leave us with a favorite quote that characterizes an aspect of your philanthropy.
"It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself… Serve and thou shall be served." — Ralph Waldo Emerson

On last night's Saturday Night Live, host Kevin Hart attempted to join Rick's group while hiding a nasty zombie bite. While Rick, Carl, Darryl, and Maggie try to figure out whether their new potential recruit is turning zombie, Hart plays on their fear of being thought racists, which outweighs their fear of zombies. But if it wanted to talk about race and The Walking Dead specifically, the sketch could have used an appearance by poor T-Dog, with the rest of the cast largely ignoring him.
And here's a wonky YouTube version for those outside of Hulu-friendly regions.
