Waching daily Mar 4 2018

Hey - it's Patti Scharf, CPA and Co-Founder of Catching Clouds, the leader in

e-commerce accounting, and today we're gonna talk about how not to do your

Amazon bookkeeping (and why you're probably doing it the wrong way). Then

I'll tell you the right way to do it to get to a good end result fast. Make sure

you stick around to the end where I'll give you more useful tips on how to do

it right and with very little effort. Let's start by talking about how you're

probably doing it and why that's wrong. If you aren't really familiar with

accounting, chances are you've seen the deposits landing in your bank account

from Amazon, and you're coding all of that to sales. If you're coding from your

bank accounts, it may seem really simple, especially if you're using QuickBooks

Online or Xero where you've got Bank rules set up where it just automatically codes

everything to sales and you're like, "Done!" I know that's really simple, but please

please, please don't do that. It is not right. That number that is

landing in your bank account is the net amount after all of the Amazon fees, and

if you've been selling on Amazon for any period of time, you know that they are

taking 15 to 40 percent of the gross sales and keeping it for themselves as

some type of service fee for allowing you to sell on their marketplace. That's

great. You may think that's super fine and fair; you may think it's really

excessive. But if you're not keeping track of those numbers, you don't know

how much money they're taking of yours.

And if you're keeping track of that over time in your accounting system, you can

see if they start jacking up your fees. We just found out in January almost all

of our clients noticed that all their fees from Amazon went up. If you're not

paying attention to that, you don't know. So how do you get that information? That

brings us to the second method that's probably wrong, and that is going to your

settlement statement. Your settlement statement may look something like this.

It includes product charges and it shows you some shipping fees and things

like that. Do you know what is not showing on this report? Any sales tax

that you collected. So it doesn't give you all the

information that you need to keep track of. The other thing is if you look up

here, the statement date range is from October 23rd to November 6th. That means

what's in this amount, even though it may tie to the amount that lands in your

bank, it's for sales that cover a period that's not in the right period, so if

you're recording this in November, you're recording some of your October sales in

November. That means you can't track what you're selling over time. You can't track

fees over time. It's all just kind of a hodgepodge of things, and I know if

you're if you're telling me that, "Hey, I'm cash basis - it doesn't matter. It matters

only when I collect it, not when the transaction occurs." I'm telling you that

the sale - you collected this in October - so you're still doing it wrong. You

collected it in October. Amazon collected it on your behalf, but

it still needs to be reported in your October books. So this is a bad problem.

So, if this doesn't give you the information you need,

where do you go next? And the next step would be to look at all the

individual sales from Amazon. Okay, so you go into Amazon, you download all those

individual orders. It gives you the break out including sales tax collected,

it gives you the break out with shipping income, and all these different things,

but the problem now is that - how do you line that up with your batch settlement

statement? You saw before the batch of settlement statements equal what gets

deposited into your bank account, but a massive spreadsheet download from Amazon

does not. And the unfortunate thing is a lot of Amazon's reports don't match each

other, so you may pick the same period for one report as another one and

they don't match. Now you're ready to pull your hair out. The other

problem is if you're selling like ten orders a month, it's not a big deal. If

you're selling ten thousand orders a month, it is a big deal. If you're pulling

all that information into your accounting system, 1) systems

like Xero, they'll only let you pull in a thousand orders a day,

2) it's going to crush your system because your accounting system wasn't

built to house all that information. You really need to enter the information in

a summary fashion. So you're like, okay - I can't do this, this, or this. What do I

do? And I'm so glad you asked. Here is the

answer, and I'm telling you - this is not a paid advertisement. I've been doing it

since 2012. I started doing number one with the bank deposits. No, I knew that

wasn't right right off the bat. Number two, went to the settlement statements.

Within a few days, I was like that's not right either. Tried the individual orders.

That wasn't working either. We ended up creating our own database to just track

everything and make sure we could keep track of returns and everything else, but

in 2014, A2X came along, and it changed my life. It is an amazing tool. I highly

recommend you look into it. This is the right way to record your accounting for

Amazon. The good news is it will go in, it will grab all the information from your

settlement statement, all the details. It'll include all the fees and sales tax

and knows exactly where to put everything. If it spans two different

months, it will create one invoice in one month, one invoice and the other one.

It'll show up in your accounting system and you can just go OK and it reconciles.

It is a beautiful, beautiful thing. And in 2017, they started integrating with

QuickBooks Online in addition to Xero also. The A2X - Amazon to Xero - they now

integrate with QuickBooks Online, so people who love Intuit, they can use

that as well. So now you know why you need A2X to make your bookkeeping life

simple and fast and accurate, but how do you get started? If you

look at the link down below, I have a link to a blog post that we wrote

about getting started on A2X and why you need it and all that stuff. So go

check that out. If you like this video and find it helpful, please like, comment,

BREAKING! Major Dem Just EXPELLED From Office After Being Caught! - Duration: 4:29.

BREAKING!

Major Dem Just EXPELLED From Office After Being Caught!

ENJOY PRISON!

It is almost becoming laughable the number of Democrats that are being caught in scandals

and crimes after years of pretending to take the moral high road.

For years, we have heard the left claim how they are the paradigm of morality and that

it is the Democrat party that stands for women right's and so forth.

Well, that is going to be a hard sell in the future for these faux do-gooder's since

most of their party now stands accused of sexual misconduct, and corruption that can

land many of them behind bars.

Over the last several months, the Democratic Party has faced one sex scandal after another,

and it does not appear to be stopping anytime soon as these liberal politicians are being

discovered for the perverts they are.

Just in the last several weeks, two top Democrats Senator Al Franken and John Conyers were caught

embroiled in disgusting sexual behavior that prompted them to resign from their political

positions in power.

And, now before the dust has settled another explosive sex scandal has emerged involving

another Democrat that has the left reeling and another seat up for grabs after being

expelled from office.

After Donald Trump won the election last November, the Democrat party has been in shambles as

Democrat leaders desperately trying to pull itself back together again.

With the 2018 midterm elections looming in not so far off distance, sexual misconduct

scandals have rocked the Beltway resulting in numerous resignations, and now an expulsion

from office.

Rep. Steve Lebsock has been expelled from office after he was accused of sexually assaulting

five women.

Rep. Steve Lebsock a Democrat in the state of Colorado has been caught in a horrible

sexual assault scandal against five women that could land this so-called "champion"

of women's rights behind bars for a very long time.

Here is more from The Western Journal:

"The Colorado State House voted overwhelmingly Friday to expel a Democratic member accused

of sexually assaulting at least five women.

Fellow Democrats led the charge in a 52-9 vote in favor of the expulsion of Rep. Steve

Lebsock, marking the first expulsion to occur in over 100 years, reports Fox 31 Denver.

"We, as a general assembly, have a responsibility to police our own, to hold our own to high

level of accountability," Democratic Majority Leader KC Becker, who introduced the legislation

to expel Lebsock, said previously.

Five women accused Lebsock of sexual harassment and making repeated unwanted sexual advances.

State Rep. Faith Winter alleged that Lebsock grabbed her arm while she tried to leave a

bar two years ago, described various sexual acts and grew angry with her when she refused

to go home with him.

Lebsock has denied all the allegations.

"The last months have been awful.

I have taken public attack, after attack, after attack while I have patiently stood

by waiting for due process to take its course," Winter told her colleagues during the hearing.

"Today is not about sex.

It is about power."

Some Republicans voiced concerns about whether due process had been afforded to Lebsock during

the allegations and hearings.

However, many believed Lebsock abused his power in an effort to prove his innocence

and retaliated against the victims by handing out a document that detailed the sex life

of one of his accusers and other personal information.

Right before he was expelled, he quickly changed parties, according to his tweet."

Soon after the news of Lebsock changing parties and being expelled from office, people on

Twitter reacted to the news.

This stunning revelation could prove to be good news for the Republicans who are running

for office in the state of Colorado who may now just have a shot they need to slow the

progressive liberal policies ruining the country on a daily basis.

It is about time that these sexual deviants in the Democrat party are exposed for their

nasty behavior, but there is still one that needs to be held accountable for his actions,

and that is Bill Clinton.

The Democrats can continue to say they are sorry for their behavior and resign from office,

but until Bill Clinton does it, the Democrat party will only stay mired in their own filth.

What do you think about this?

Photoshop: How to Quickly Give Photos a Cinematic "Color Grading" Movie Effect. - Duration: 4:54.

Hi. This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.

I'm going to show you how to quickly transform photos into the look of a frame from a dramatic,

cinematic summer movie blockbuster by changing their "color grading".

This effect draws our attention to the people on the screen by warming their skin with orange

color casts and contrasting the surrounding background with teals and blues.

Download a photo that you'd like to use for this project.

I downloaded this image and the others from Dreamstime and Shutterstock.

There are many adjustment layers that can create color grading including "Curves" ,

"Color Balance", "Color Lookup", "Gradient Map" and "Selective Color".

When used in combination with Blend Modes, you can fine tune your image to get the exact look you want.

However, in this tutorial, I'm going to narrow it down to exclusively using "Color Balance"

because I find that this method is the most effective to get that particular summer blockbuster

movie look in the quickest and least cumbersome way.

The first step is to remove any color cast it may have.

We can do it automatically with "Auto-Color".

First, make your image active and press Ctrl or Cmd + Shift + B or go to Image and "Auto Color".

Click the scale icon to make the "Color Balance" adjustment layer active.

There are 3 tones: Shadows, Midtones and Highlights.

Each tone has 3 sliding adjustments that are arranged by their opposite colors on the color wheel.

For example, dragging the Midtone slider toward Cyan adds cyan to the image's midtones and

subtracts its complement: red.

Dragging toward Green adds green to the image's midtones and subtracts magenta.

The Color Levels boxes show the amount of each color that Photoshop adds and subtracts

while you move the sliders.

By checking "Preserve Luminosity", it ensures that the brightness and contrast of the tones

stay the same as we modify the colors of the image.

Keep in mind, since each image has its own characteristics,

feel free to modify the amounts for your image.

I'll click this icon to reset it.

Click "Shadows".

Make the Cyan / Red: minus 53, the Magenta / Green: minus 17 and the Yellow / Blue" plus 29.

Open Midtones.

Make the Cyan / Red: minus 32, the Magenta / Green: 14 and the Yellow / Blue: minus 20.

Open Highlights.

Keep the Cyan / Red: 0, the Magenta / Green: minus 22 and the Yellow / Blue: minus 24.

Next, we'll bring out more detail in the darkest tones of our image

by making the image active and going to Image, Adjustments and "Shadows / Highlights".

Click "Show More Options".

Make the Shadows Amount: 7%, the Tone: 50% and the Radius: 30 pixels.

Make the Highlights Amount: 0%, the Tone: 50% and the Radius: 30 pixels.

Make the Adjustment Color: 0 and the Midtone: minus 20.

Keep the Black and White clips point zero 1%.

This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.

Thanks for watching!

OUR WEIRDEST DREAMS #2 | Dolan True Stories - Duration: 6:59.

From getting eaten by a banana to the family cat being the savior of humankind, the Planet

Dolan Crew re-enacts some of the best true stories from our subreddit about our weirdest

dreams.

I'm Melissa, and today, I'll be your narrator.

Number 10 was Submitted by A_Toxic_Melody Grgak

Grgak had a dream where he was trying to impress Vladmir Putin so he could go to space.

And throughout the dream, Putin was slowly turning into Kim Jong Un.

Grgak and a bunch of cool-looking teens that belonged in a 80's sitcom were playing paint

ball with Putin, and he was like "hey man, you're some pretty chill dudes, you can go

to space."

So Grgak got a jank-looking space suit, and went to the space station.

The space ship turned out to be a huge ceramic piñata with a pentagram on it.

Soon, common sense kicked in, and Grgak realized he probably shouldn't be hanging out with

communist leaders, nor getting into a demonic ceramic piñata space ship with a bunch of

80s sitcom characters.

So he said to Putin, who now looked more like Kim, "Look man, I've thought about it, I don't

want to go to space."

Kim said, "K," then all the other people turned into cats, and apparently that was as far

as his imagination could go, so then he woke up.

Number 9 was Submitted by RellinMurDeath Froggy The weirdest dream Froggy ever had was when

she was walking to a friend's house.

She was halfway there when all of a sudden, she turned into a doll and fell to the ground.

She started to panic, but couldn't move.

Soon, a little girl walked over and picked her up.

She took the Froggy doll back to her house and began playing games.

One of those games led to Froggy's head being taken off, and the shock of that woke her

up.

Number 8 was Submitted by some-dead-guy Hellbent In 9th grade, Hellbent worked out every morning.

One day, he had a dream that he was trying to do push ups, but every time he would go

down, a little monkey would run in to put a tiny chick under him.

Hellbent didn't want to hurt it, so he would go back up.

When he did, the monkey would grab the chick and run away.

Then when he'd go down again, the monkey would come back.

This went on for about five minutes.

Then the monkey ran away again, only to come back with a cake.

Hellbent woke up very confused.

He stopped working out after that.

Number 7 was Submitted by MichaelJCaboose0804 Tolop

Tolop was in his school's band, and had a dream that the band was going to Mexico for

a concert.

For some reason, his friend saw it as the perfect chance to smuggle cocaine INTO Mexico,

which doesn't even make sense.

He wanted Tolop's help, and without a second thought, Tolop accepted.

They hid their stash in several clarinet cases.

That made sense to him at the time, but he later figured out he could have used one tuba

case.

In his dream, a bus ride from Washington to Mexico is about ten minutes.

But they didn't even get to complete their smuggling operation.

Tolop woke up just as they reached the border.

Number 6 was Submitted by weirdlife-story SweetCommando

When SweetCommando was 14 years old, he dreamed that he was an army dude going on a mission.

But his mission was a bit unusual.

It was to go and rescue a cell phone that had been dropped in a toilet.

When he woke up, he found himself asleep on the toilet with his phone dropped in it.

That was not one of his better days.

Number 5 was Submitted by WWDMMax Dolan In Dolan's dream, robots had taken over the

world, Terminator-style.

Dolan's dad came to him, telling him that their family cat was the key to saving humankind.

His dad didn't tell him WHY, but she was the key to the survival of humans, and Dolan had

to protect her.

As he was carrying the lazy, fat cat that was somehow humankind's salvation, he randomly

found himself snowboarding!

This itself was strange, as he had never been snowboarding before.

He got off the board and scurried into a treehouse that resembled a church.

There, he was told that he somehow saved humankind.

Even in the context of his dream, he was totally baffled.

Number 4 was Submitted by Elf_Pyro Andiemations Andiemations once had a dream where she was

in a train station sitting on a bench.

When she heard the train come, she got scared and hid under the bench.

But when she looked at the bottom of the bench, there were centipedes and spiders crawling

all over it.

Then when she looked at the train, it was Thomas the tank engine, which for some reason

made her even more scared!

She had the dream again but instead of Thomas it was Percy.

Still scary.

Number 3 was Submitted by MuffinTime0630 SaltySquid SaltySquid had a dream where a giant banana

grabbed him and ate him.

Just swallowed him whole, for no reason at all.

While he was in the giant banana's stomach, a small banana walked towards him and asked,

"how do you like being eaten?" over and over again.

It got so annoying SaltySquid just broke down and decided to eat the small banana.

When he ate the small banana, he woke up.

Number 2 was Submitted by StarryCroissant Doopie

Doopie had a dream as a teenager where she was playing a Nintendogs-esque pet simulator

on a Game Boy Advance.

Doopie's pet was a little brown dog.

His health meter, went down every second.

Doopie didn't know how to play, and there were only 3 or 4 hearts on the screen, so

she didn't know what she needed to do to get his health back up.

When his health ran out, the screen flashed red before fading to a fuzzy image of the

grim reaper holding the dog's disembodied head.

Years later, Doopie found out about a game called Can Your Pet?

In it, you take care of a baby chick.

Just like her dream, the food and water bars drop quickly.

And clicking on the bike seems like it would give the chick exercise, but it actually turns

out to be a grinder and it kills the chick.

Then you're forced to look at a series of pictures of miserable or cooking chickens

as the credits scroll.

The game reminded her of her dream from years earlier – about a simplistic pet simulator

with meters that go down too fast, a lack of instructions, and a bloody death sequence

to make the player feel guilty for unintentionally letting their pet die.

Number 1 – What's the weirdest dream I've had?

I Got A Ticket | Tersha Singh - Duration: 5:32.

And... action! That was lame hold on I'll do it over

And... action!

Hey people

Welcome again this week

To another episode of how stupid I really am

Thanks for being with me this week again

This story is about

Ticket! Ticket! Ticket!

So I got a ticket This doesn't happen often

It was my first ticket but when I got the ticket

I called my dad and I was like "Dad! I got a ticket you wouldn't believe"

Before I could even say why I got the ticket or how I got the ticket

My dad jumps on the scene

"You were speeding!"

So I was like "No! What happened was..."

"You were on your phone" "No no no"

"You were on the phone" "I blasted tell you children to get off your phones when you're on the road"

And whatever That's a good life lesson though

No phones when you're on the road

My father was just going to town And he wouldn't even listen

But let me tell you all why I got this ticket

I was going by my grandmother to meet my uncles and they

And

I was taking a road I don't customarily take

Upon approaching

What was... What happened boy? Hold on

I saw some cars kind of driving a little slow And as I approached one of the roads

To turn left I saw this sign on the road that goes straight

So here I am easing up on this sign because you know I can't see the sign very well

So I have to try and read it and as I'm approaching where I can clearly see the sign

So you can't use the road from 6-9am and then from 2-6pm or something like that in the evening

And this is me at 4:30 As I roll up on the sign to read what are the times

And I'm watching my watch

A police officer jumps out from behind a truck that was parked

The man just... Jumps out at me

Oh my God He's like "Stop, stop ma'am, stop"

"Come let me talk to you"

I should've just turned left where I was supposed to turn But no, people wanted to read a sign

I could still happily turn left and get away from the ticket But the police officer called me!

So I rolled down my window Man, I started to give this man all kinds of prayers

He said "Ma'am, you didn't know that this is a no entry road at certain times?"

I said "Well no sir, I didn't know" "When did this sign go up?"

"I have been using this road like forever but then I really have not come by my grandmother for like... gosh"

"Hmm, how long has this sign been here?"

He said "Ma'am, this sign has been here in excess of of 6 months"

I said "Well I didn't even come to my grandmother's house in that time"

"I didn't even know this sign went up"

So he says "Ma'am the sign says so and so time and this is the time now so move up and collect your ticket"

"Let me just reverse and I'll go down the road I was supposed to go"

"I couldn't read the sign from so far" He said "Ma'am, you couldn't read the sign and you're driving?"

I said "Yea, I have to look out for cars and cars big so..." "The writing is small so... I couldn't see it"

He said "Hmph girl, you have an answer for everything"

I said "Well sir, give me a chance" He said "Well if I give you a chance I have to give everybody that's behind you a chance"

"Who decides they're moving up to get they're ticket too"

I said "Sir well if you have to be nice to me, be nice to them too"

"Let all of us just get a bligh and go down the road" "I mean nobody has to pay a ticket today man that's too much trouble"

So he says "No I can't do that" "You see my superiors up there? They will see that I'm talking to you and whatnot"

"And they will say that you have to collect your ticket"

I said "Sir give me a chance please"

Mind you while I'm speaking to this police officer, who is not taking on the people in the back

Because all he was doing was chatting with me

The man behind the guy behind me reverse and goes down the road on the left

The man behind me slowly backs up The police officer didn't even realize

"I really have not been here in a really long time" "I did not know that there was a no entry sign here"

"I didn't know that there were specific hours" "I really was trying to read it so I could comply with the law of the land"

"But you know, you called me up and made me come now past the street"

"Just let me reverse and go my way!"

Just when he decided you know what I should be a good person and I should let her go

My uncle's friend riding his bicycle past by

"Aye Tersha!"

"Your uncle is waiting on you" "He said you when you came last week you forgot your thing"

"Move up and collect your ticket ma'am, move up!"

Man I was so pissed, embarrassed, ashamed

Before I got home by my grandmother though my uncle's friend already reached by him with his bicycle

And already told them that I was collecting a ticket down the road

They could not wait to laugh And boy did they laugh

That was my ticket story People... obey the law

And if you're driving make sure you can read all the signs clearly

Let me know your ticket stories and umm...

I really hope your ticket stories are not from

1. Drinking and driving

2. Speeding

3. Or using your cellphone

These things just... yea... they're not good

See you next week! Bye!
