Mizuno Golf’s MX-17 irons were introduced to the retail market in 2004. Mizuno, at that time, was perhaps best-known for forged irons targeted to low-handicap golfers. But the MX-17 set of irons put the focus on game-improvement technology, and so were targeted to a much wider range of golfers. And they proved very popular with golfers around the world. In fact, even today, long after Mizuno stopped manufacturing them and well into their second decade of existence, Mizuno MX-17 irons continue to sell on the secondary market....

It is very easy to see Bastille’s breakthrough pop hit as some sort of cheesy combination of Coldplay’s anthemic pop-rock and the latest in electronic dance music infused alt-pop. However, there is something about “Pompeii” that just sounds perfect. It captures the pop music zeitgeist and there is just enough lyrical thought behind the analogy of the volcanic destruction of Pompeii by Mount Vesuvius and a relationship in ruins, that it does make the listener think just enough to make a moment of pop brilliance....

There are a lot of slang terms you will hear in and outside the tattoo shop.

How can the better-managed e-commerce businesses stand apart? What are some of the key differentiators of winners? These questions are not easy to answer. No one can hand you the Holy Grail to e-commerce success, but selling unique products could provide you with substantial differentiation....

When the full moon peaks, it’s a time to come home to the power of imagination that can shape your life. The outstanding aspect here is to Neptune, the planet of imagination and higher callings. The Scorpio moon peaks at 2 degrees in an enthralling trine to Neptune (in Pisces). It’s a time of being spellbound or for breaking spells. Hypnotic seductions vie for our attention, and a power wants to keep humanity in a state of fear....

Those who fly for the United States military are some of the best pilots of the world, and each service has its own unique benefits and aircraft—as well as their own age limits and requirements for becoming a pilot or navigator.

When it comes to promoting your event, whether it’s a press conference to launch a new product or a benefit concert, timing is everything. Publicizing your important event or product at the wrong time is useless. On the other hand, publicizing a story at just the right time in the news cycle will most likely get picked up by the media—as long as the information is viewed by the media as being important to the public....

A common complaint from shoppers using coupons is that some cashiers refuse to accept printed internet coupons. This can be frustrating at checkout, especially if an item was chosen specifically over another because of the coupon’s savings potential. Why Do Stores Refuse to Accept Coupons? The real problem with online printable coupons began in 2003 when stores unknowingly accepted a lot of counterfeit coupons. This resulted in huge losses for the stores and the product manufacturers....

If you’re a Project Manager who isn’t using their resources (i.e., your staff) well, you’re not alone. From a Manager’s Perspective What manager hasn’t struggled with the problem of not having enough people to get the job done? Like others in your position, you might shuffle people, juggle tasks and priorities, and plead for more resources. You might even cross-train, contract specialists, and work far too much overtime yourself. You know the toll it’s taking on you, but what about the toll on the people you supervise, and more importantly, how do you solve the problem?...

So, you’ve decided to invest in an extra set of wheels to put your snow tires on for winter driving. The question now becomes: Should those winter wheels be smaller than what you currently have on your car or should they be the same size? Most car experts agree that if you run your vehicle with 17-inch, 18-inch, or even larger-sized wheels during the spring, summer, and fall, you really should consider downsizing your winter set of wheels to 16-inch, maybe even 15-inch, if possible....

In 2003, WWE presented brand-exclusive pay-per-view events for the first time. On the RAW side of things, Triple H dominated the main event scene with the help of Evolution, a faction that also consisted of Ric Flair and second-year stars Randy Orton and Batista. The Class of 2002 shined bright on SmackDown as well as on Brock Lesnar, who was the big star of that brand. Royal Rumble at FleetCenter January 9, 2003...

Endorsements and sponsorships certainly play a role in what figure skating boots and blades professionals favor, but figure skaters of all levels have developed a fondness for certain boots over their years of training. Whether it’s a professional recalling a first pair of figure skates or an enthusiast making the jump from stock skates to custom boot/blade combos, several brands pop up on favorite lists across the board. From classic brands of entry-level skates to newcomer companies producing innovative custom boot/blade combos, the market for figure skating boots and blades can be overwhelming....

When people (well, women anyway) hear I’m a beauty editor, their eyes light up and they want to know what advice I have specifically for them. Many times they ask what my biggest beauty secret is. I have a few, I tell them, but perhaps my best secret is extra virgin coconut oil. It’s the perfect beauty product because it’s organic (no more putting sketchy ingredients on your skin that could get absorbed into your bloodstream, causing who-knows-what to happen to you a few years down the line), it’s super moisturizing, it can used for a variety of purposes and it smells great....

Hip-hop is a celebration of diversity. No two rappers sound alike (well, with the exception of Guerrilla Black and Biggie Smalls).

Alternative Hip-Hop Anthony Pidgeon/Getty Images Alt-rappers typically color outside the lines. These artists are less concerned with pop hooks and dance moves....

Anyone Can Set up an E-commerce Website Instantly In an earlier article, I had shown how one could set up an e-commerce website in one day. And I know people who have set up e-commerce websites in the past and can do it in under an hour. Think about physical retail: you could not even have set up the signboard for a retail outlet in an hour. But this kind of thinking leads us to the wrong conclusions....
