For the first months at the start of this decade, Artists Wanted mounted an international search for the worlds most compelling Self Portraits. What was discovered is phenomenal. Artists from over 70 countries submitted work ranging from painting, to sculpture to performance to photographs. The range and depth of work was phenomenal and we are pleased to present the best of that process.

I recieved an email today inviting me to this show opening in Manhattan on Friday the 12th. Wish I lived in the city!
The show features the winners of the Artists Wanted, Power of Self competition that took place a few months ago. Photographer Cheng-Chang Wu of Taiwan took the first prize while Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir of Hafnarfjörður, Iceland and Hilary McHone of South Pasadena, CA took Peoples Choice Awards.

was life really simpler when you were young? or is it simply that your understanding of the world has deepened and expanded to include the complexities that you didn't know existed?

I first met Mr Noel McKay when I was working as a gay Maori guy nursing up in Auckland NZ & he worked in Hugh Wrights elegant gentleman’s menswear shop in Queen Street. He was an excellent salesman selling top fashion & designer clothes. On weekends he would appear in the Auckland nite clubs; two of them being Montmatre in Lorne Street & Peter Pan in Upper Queen Street as a full female impersonator. He dressed very elegantly in mens suits only during daytime. He had a class drag act & sang on the stage for an hour at a time. His female costumes were very classy & he loved fancy black underwear & high heels & feather boas. He was born in either Oamaru, North Otago or Waimate, South Canterbury, South Island, NZ. He was a loner & only mixed with elegant classy friends. He sang a mix variety of songs often sitting on a stool or at the piano which he played. One of his songs I do remember was “My body is More Important than My Mind”.

accounting homework is NO JOKE.

Budgets are used throughout the year to benchmark the sales and revenue goals to the actual results. This can literally be done every day by using the Tops Bonus Card data. This budget information is brought to budget meetings where a committee attempts to review it and mark any variances that have occurred and why. This is a significant tool to understand why forecasting was inaccurate in the books. Beyond a daily analysis, budgets are used on a period basis. The books are closed every four weeks and actual results are compared to every major line in the company to determine if there are material variances. From there, the committee tries to understand why the material variance occurred. Were promotions unsuccessful? Was there a significant amount of shoplifting (aka shrink) during the period? Are employees not ringing their friends out? If this is the case, a Loss Prevention Department investigates and comes to a solution. Budgets are used on a continuous basis to benchmark variances and find solutions to prevent them.
