One of the tried and true techniques of classical art training is to copy the work of the Old Masters, those who painted before the 18th century. While this isn’t as much a part of current art school training in many places it is still a highly valuable undertaking. For a look at some of today’s “Old Masters” and where you can still receive higher education in classical drawing and painting, read Brandon Kralik’s article, Today’s New Old Masters Outshine the Avante-Garde (HuffPost 5/24/13) Contemporary society is much more concerned with originality (and copyright infringement) so this kind of training doesn’t take place as much anymore, but copying the work of a master or, in fact, any other painter whose work you admire is an invaluable and highly instructive practice....

Franchisors tend to establish their royalty based upon a percentage of the franchisee’s gross sales, and typically collect those fees on a weekly or monthly basis. More and more, franchisors are transferring the royalty payments via Electronic Funds Transfer, where the franchisee agrees to allow the franchisor to debit directly from their bank accounts.

Some of my friends think I’m crazy for getting tattoos and piercings just for the ability to share firsthand knowledge with readers afterward. Body art procedures are difficult to imagine and describe well in any other way, though. There is a big difference between understanding something “in theory” and having hands-on experience to substantiate that general knowledge. You might have gotten tattoos and be familiar with the associated pain, but tattoos on different parts of the body cause varying levels of discomfort and require different protocols for healing....

Pisces and Pisces are two universal beings, spiraling together. That sounds super “spiritual” doesn’t it? (Insert eye roll here). If you’re Pisces, you know you experience life differently. Maybe it’s hard to put into words because it’s beyond being sensitive. Sometimes it’s sensing things and having supernatural experiences. From the moment they gaze into each others’ big saucer-sized orbs, they’re hooked–for friendship or more. A Pisces picks up on the sensitivity of a kindred born in the sign of the Fishes....

In 2003, the writers of Ring Magazine published a ranking of their one hundred greatest punchers of all-time.

The world is slowly changing, and it’s becoming easier to find cute shoes for tall women (meaning shoes in size 11 and up) but unfortunately, those shoes are not always cute shoes. While it’s reasonable to acknowledge that shoe manufacturers have to gear shoe production toward the average-height masses, it’s also reasonable for tall women to take their business to the stores that readily cater to them.

Rhythm & Blues (abbreviated R&B) is a term used to describe the blues-influenced form of music which has been predominantly performed by African-Americans since the late 1930s. The term ‘Rhythm and Blues’ was first introduced into the American lexicon in the late 1940s: the name’s origin was created for use as a musical marketing term by Billboard magazine.
