As Da Vinci said “Art is never finished …”, you surely believe that if you came across the realist paintings of Alyssa Monks before. Don’t let your eyes fool you, those masterpieces are created with her brush and her talent with great attention to details – they are no photos They look absolutely stunning in my eyes, both the paintings and the contents that carried. Alyssa’ve mentioned the models are herself and her family members.
Many compared her talent to Chuck Close – the great American painter and photographer with wonderful massive-scale portraits....

Everyone is struggling to get to the top. One way is to climb up that Osaka castle. Well, it will be my way very soon
How about other ways? From a strictly mathematical viewpoint, you might find the answer:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K is: 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E is: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E will be: 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
and
B-U-L-L-S-*-*-T obviously is: 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
And look how far...

If that’s not enough, somebody still Purposely Wants to Dig (PWD) and get more from you.
So what more can you do when you are in the Money Only Environment (MOE)?
With the current Mad Accounting System (MAS), you are forced to...
