If you’re conducting a market research study, your first decision is whether to use qualitative or quantitative research methods. It depends on what you need to know. A quantitative method helps you see broad trends. A qualitative method can give you greater insight. Begin by thinking through the purpose of the market research study.

(Peters & Waterman, 1982). In other words, there are many resources available to help a market research team figure out how to work efficaciously with the stakeholders of research projects....

In Praise of Personal Growth Positive reinforcement and motivation are two methods that enable growth to realize its full potential....

I recently got my hands on the new Personna M5 Magnum Razor and was impressed. The design similarities of this razor are so close to the Gillette Fusion, I’m surprised Gillette’s lawyers haven’t swooped in and turned the company into Personna Non Grata (sorry, I couldn’t resist). This new razor offered a similar shave to the Fusion at a substantial savings. Design Similarities Like the Fusion, the M5 has five blades on the shaving surface and a single blade on the back of the head for trimming sideburns....

Ink is available in a variety of types, not all of which are suitable for fine-art drawing. Make sure you choose a pigmented lightfast ink, not a dye-based illustrator’s ink which fades over time. I prefer a basic Indian Ink, which dries waterproof, flows well, and doesn’t tend to clog. Indian ink can be thinned with distilled water (tap water will make it separate), but I prefer watercolor for washes. Many companies make Indian ink, most of which will be acceptable for drawing....

But basically, they are sex songs—songs about getting a little somethin.’ Unlike other romantic songs, these R&B tunes are not talking about love—they’re all about good old-fashioned lust. Check out this mix of songs that convey that emotion, including music by R. Kelly, Usher, Aaliyah, Trey Songz and The Isley Brothers....

When you first begin pursuing a modeling career you will likely hear the term “mother agent” or “mother agency”. What exactly is a mother agency and what does a mother agency or agent do? Is a mother agency something you must have when starting out as a model? And, if so, how do you get one? Almost all professional models have more than one modeling agency representing them. For example, supermodels like Naomi Campbell, Coco Rocha or Tyra Banks will have one agency that represents them in New York, another agency in Paris, and another in Milan, Tokyo and so on....

Over the years some cheapened the notion of the supergroup by expanding its definition to apply to huge superstar bands in general, but the classic prerequisite must always be that at least two members of any given band made a significant impact as a solo artist or as a member of another ensemble. And while there’s always plenty of gray areas when it comes to identifying significance or impact, here are some of the best examples of ’80s supergroups....

There are great films, there are mediocre films, and then there are down right horrible, awful films. We enjoy the great films - it’s the great films that keep us going to the movies - but the awful films are, in a way, more interesting, because they aspired to, at the very least, be decent. No filmmaker sets out to make an awful film. However, despite so many good intentions, we are besieged by horrible, awful films....

The “crown” of a golf club is the top surface of a clubhead: That part of the club that you see when you are in the address position, looking down. Clubs with hollow-body constructions — most hybrids, all fairway woods and drivers — have crowns. (The top of an iron clubhead is called a “topline.”) In terms of appearance, golf club crowns were once very boring — one, solid color (usually black) — and many still are....
