Fashion shows are very popular among the new generation. Here, Sor Vorleak brings you some cool tips for those who want to be a model.
Make-up depends on the occasion that you attend. For fashion shows, you should wear a hard make-up for a nasty look that is suited to the bright lights. For advertising shows, you should wear light make-up in natural style in order not to be more attractive than the product you advertise.?
Walking attractively
To be eye-catching during your walking style, your back should not be curved and your chest should not be far forward. In other words, to keep your body straight, you should spend some time bending your back to the wall for as long as you can. By doing so, I guarantee that your back will be as straight as 900.
High heels
High heels are very good for models. Some women might not be used to wearing them and might be hurt by broken heels. If you want to walk freely with high heels, you should put weight into your toes more often than your ankle.
You are not walking as a model every day. When you are in a public place, you should not let your attractiveness diminish by your dress. You should choose a very nice in fashion set of clothes with vivid colours or dress shorts if the weather is good.
Weight is very important for those who want to be a model, that's why they should eat regularly and avoid high-calorie food. Before making a show, you should not eat a lot of food in order not to make choosing clothes difficult.

Currently listening to Britney Spears – Piece Of Me.
I officially started my end of session exams today and I have mixed feelings about it, but I've decided not to be stressed and to be happy all the last days of this semester. The best way to stay happy even the situation isn't going as you wished for is to find happiness in the little things life gives to you and in today's post I'd be sharing with you a few things that make me happy instantly.
Sleeping : Growing up I learnt that sleep helps out bodies recover and repair from the days activity and that's really awesome but for me, what I love the most about sleeping is how it shuts me out from thinking, worrying etc. Countless times I've slept grumpy and almost every one of such times I wake up with a smile.
Complimenting Others : I'm not one to dish out compliments just for the sake of it because I want people to know that when I compliment them I really do mean it. Giving genuine compliments to people makes the heart to be at peace that way leaving you happy and most of the time you'd get complimented right back which will even make you happier.
Talking To Family And Friends : This is the one thing I think everyone does when they need something/someone to lighten up their mood. I have a few friends that I might not necessarily tell them I'm sad but once I have a conversation I instantly forget my worries and have the heartiest laughs.
Sleep Some More : If you sleep and you're still grumpy SLEEP SOME MORE!! Trust me this works *insert laughing emoji here*.
Find A Hobby : Since I started blogging and writing my opinions freely I'm hardly ever sad or not happy anymore. Drafting blog posts, reading the comments on my blog and replying them, checking my stats, knowing I'm somehow impacting in someone's life etc really makes me happy. So if there is something you enjoy doing, always create time to do that thing as it brings satisfaction to your life which will translate into happiness.
I've had people ask me a lot of times how I always seem to be happy everytime and that's simply because I've taken my happiness into my hands rather than waiting for someone or something to make me happy like I used to and believe me when I say the result so far is amazing! So make that decision to stay happy today and enjoy the fullness of life. Do have an awesome week ahead.
Till next time… xoxo
What are the little things that makes you happy? I'd really love to know, do share with me by leaving a comment below thanks.

I love that show WHAT WOULD YOU DO. I used to watch it every Friday night. They always featured some unexpecting citizen who was pulled into one of their crazy, hilarious pranks. Many times I laughed until my belly hurt. I often thought, "What would I do if I were ever in those kinds of situations?"
I found myself in one of these awkward situations just last week on a walk with my newest rescue, Kota. About a block from home where we usually allow our dogs to "potty" he snatched up something from the ground.
Of course, as a strict dog trainer and dog owner, I did not want him to eat anything outside, especially not knowing what it was, so I quickly yanked back on the leash and told him firmly to "drop it"! He knows this command well, and will even let go of his favorite toy. But he was clinging to whatever was in his mouth like a prized porterhouse.
I proceeded to unclasp his tightly closed jaw, and pried open his mouth. That's when I saw a mammoth turd lodged on the roof of his mouth like peanut butter! UGH!
WHAT WOULD YOU DO? pull it out or let him eat it…
My first thought was I need to get that out of his mouth. So I continued holding his mouth open and proceeded to shake his head back and forth, hoping he'd drop it. That turd wasn't budging.
There was only one thing I could do, because with all the diseases in feces, there was no way I was going to let him eat some other animals poop. But I had nothing with me, not even a poo bag. So, putting my gag reflex to the ultimate test, I reached my hand into his mouth and poked at the turd. It still wouldn't budge.
Now nearly barfing, I continued poking, prodding and scraping, until finally the turd fell out. But then my long beautiful fingernails were embedded in dog doo-doo. I cringed as I thought of my options. I could go all the way back home and wash or I could wipe them off in the grass the best I could.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO? go home or go for a walk…
Being the city girl who has always loved country life, I toughed it out, wiped my fingers off in the grass the best I could, and took my dogs for a walk.
When I got home an hour later I shared the story with my husband, John. He nearly fell off the couch laughing. That was of course, after I washed my hands with hot soapy water for like ten minutes straight.
After sharing my gross, hilarious encounter on facebook, other dog owners began to talk about how their dogs are eating poop too. The discussion continued and became one of my most commented on post. People wanted to know how to break their dogs from eating their own poop too. So, I thought that would make an interesting blog topic for next week.
But feel free to contact me via my website if you have a crazy or funny pet story. I'd love to hear from you. And I might even share your awesome experience in one of my upcoming blogs.
Have an awesome week everyone. Thanks for reading.

DreamCloud Mattress Review
Affiliate Disclosure: I may earn a small commission (at no cost to you) if you purchase a mattress after clicking a referral link or using a coupon code on this site. That said, all content and opinions on this site are my own and are NOT affected by these payments.
We've reviewed thick online mattresses on SleepDelivered before, but the DreamCloud mattress is our first 15-incher.
This is as thick as the best Stearns & Foster, Beautyrest Black and other luxury brands.
But the DreamCloud costs a whole lot less 😉
The DreamCloud is a 15″ thick quilted-top, super-comfortable luxury hybrid mattress that uses memory foam for pressure relief, a coiled spring layer for durable support and natural latex foam to add a little bounce.
My husband and I are really impressed with this one. We keep it in our second master bedroom.
The Dreamcloud is definitely not perfect for everyone, though. For example, they only offer one comfort level which is on the firmer side.
Still interested?
Then keep reading to learn if the DreamCloud mattress is right for you!
Note: To compare DreamCloud with other luxury mattresses we've reviewed, read my best mattress guide.

About DreamCloud Sleep
DreamCloud is made by DreamCloud Holdings LLC.
The company launched in 2016 and has already expanded to several countries.
DreamCloud Holdings also manufactures the excellent Nectar mattress, another of our favorites.
Social Impact
The company hasn't announced any major charities or social giving causes, yet. But it's still early.
That said, they do keep your health and our environment in mind: DreamCloud uses only CertiPur-US certified foams to ensure their products are safe for users and the environment.
Purchase Process
The DreamCloud is sold exclusively on DreamCloud Sleep's official website. You will not find it in brick and mortar stores nor on major retailer sites like Amazon.
The purchase process couldn't be simpler.
There are no comfort options, so all you have to choose is size. Unfortunately, Twin and Twin XL sizes are currently not available.
Just add your mattress size to the cart and pay via credit card – or check if you qualify for DreamCloud's lease-to-own 6-month financing (no credit check).
Shipping is free for the continental US, while Alaskan and Hawaiian customers pay extra for shipping.
Your DreamCloud should arrive within 5 days via FedEx (unless otherwise specified on the site).
There is also the option of adding white glove delivery to your order for an additional charge.
Listed below are current retail prices for the DreamCloud mattress after deducting their $200 discount (just click below to claim it).
365 Night In-Home Trial
Most online mattresses offer a trial period lasting maybe 100-120 days.
But when you buy a DreamCloud mattress, you have a whole year to test it out. That's right: 365 nights.
At any time during this period, you can return the mattress at no cost if you don't like it. The company will arrange a pickup and either donate the mattress or recycle it. You'll get a full refund.
Note: Returns are free for customers in Alaska, Hawaii and all US territories.
At this time you cannot request a mattress exchange, because there are no other comfort options available.
Everlong Warranty
DreamCloud sleep guarantees that your mattress will remain in good condition free from defects in quality or materials for as long as you own it.
In other words, you get a lifetime warranty.
The only other two mattresses I know of that offer a lifetime warranty are Nectar (less expensive mattress) and Nest Bedding.
Of course, the usual T&Cs about proper usage and damage apply.
Read their full warranty on the DreamCloud website to learn more.
The DreamCloud mattress ships free to all customers in the continental US.
For customers in Alaska, Hawaii and US territories, a shipping fee is added at checkout.
Your DreamCloud mattress will arrive in 1-5 days via FedEx. The company will notify you if there are delays.
There is no expedited shipping option.
Delivery and Setup
Unless you pay for white glove delivery, the mattress will be delivered to your door on a forklift hand truck:
The rest is up to you. Considering how heavy this mattress is (Cal King weighs 109 lbs), it's definitely a good idea to have someone around to help you or hire a local handyman service.
If you're receiving this mattress alone, I recommend paying extra for white glove delivery.
When our King size arrived, my husband and I struggled mightily to get this heavy mattress out of its cover and onto our slat bed:
With white glove service, the delivery crew will set up the mattress for you – and you can arrange to have your old mattress taken away.
The DreamCloud mattress is delivered rolled and compressed, so it'll take a few hours for it to expand to its full size.
It's kinda cool to watch it expand:
After it unrolls, you can sleep on this mattress immediately – there's no smell like with other foam mattresses we've tried.
Foundation & Frame
What type of bed frame/support does DreamCloud require?
The DreamCloud mattress can be used on a basic solid frame, a sturdy non-flexing box spring, a slatted foundation or even directly on the floor.
We put ours on a slatted Italian bed we bought many years ago:
Make sure that the foundation you use is in good condition. If it is old, buy a new one to ensure the mattress has enough support beneath it.
Remember that the wrong foundation will void the lifetime warranty.
Does DreamCloud work on an adjustable bed?
Care & Cleaning
Is a mattress protector needed for DreamCloud?
No, you don't need to use a mattress protector, but I'd recommend you do. The tufted/quilted top is white and will stain easily. A mattress protector will prevent spills and stains that could damage the mattress and void the warranty.
Note: the cover is not removable so you can't just unzip it and wash off any stains.
Do you need to rotate the DreamCloud mattress?
No, not necessary.
Aesthetics & Styling
If you want a mattress that makes a statement, DreamCloud is the right choice. The 15" height looks imposing and gives it a luxury look.
The top looks puffy because of the Euro pillow top. It is tufted so there are buttons on the cover, giving it a nice textured style with grid-like raised squares.
The mattress has a simple two-tone style. It's white on top and brown on the sides. There are also blue carrying handles on either side and DreamCloud's logo on one end.
The DreamCloud mattress is constructed using a sophisticated 8-layer hybrid system topped by a luxurious cashmere cover.
All of the foams used in the DreamCloud are CertiPUR-US certified.
Gel infused memory foam
This layer does two things: pressure relief and cooling. The memory foam contours around your body to relieve pressure on your hips, shoulders and other pressure points. The gel dissipates excess body heat away from the mattress.
Soft quilted memory foam
This layer gives the DreamCloud mattress its signature plushness. It's super soft, allowing you to sink comfortably into the mattress.
Natural latex foam
A firmer layer of latex foam ensures you don't sink in too much. It provides support and a bit of bounciness. The latex is hypoallergenic.
High-density memory foam
This layer of high-density memory foam provides further compression support and spreads your weight evenly across the mattress.
Contouring memory foam
Yet another layer of memory foam to provide contouring and ensure your spine stays naturally aligned no matter what position you sleep in.
Five-zoned pocketed micro coils
The coil layer forms the support core of the mattress while also ensuring you get the contouring you need to sleep comfortably. The coils also help with airflow and reduce motion transfer.
High-density soft memory foam
A high-density memory foam base provides overall mattress support and longevity.
Mattress Cover
The quilted cover of the DreamCloud is really luxurious. It's made of a blend of cashmere and polyester, which makes it tear-resistant.
This combination makes the cover soft, plush and durable. Cashmere is excellent at cooling and breathability, so the surface remains cool, dry and fresh.
For longevity, the cover is hand-tufted to the mattress to ensure that the layers inside do not shift with time.
Just note that if you don't use a mattress topper/protector or another sheet layer on this mattress, you will probably feel the tufting on your backside. It doesn't bother me at all, but it might bother some.
Finally, the cover is unfortunately not removable, so you can't unzip it to clean stains. I recommend using a mattress protector or an extra sheet or two to keep it clean.
There might be a slight smell when you first use this mattress, but that's just because of the 'fresh' foams. It was almost imperceptible to me, though.
The smell is not harmful and fades quickly. Air the mattress in a well-ventilated room to quicken the off-gassing process.
Sleeping Experience
If you want a true luxury hotel mattress experience without paying thousands in a store, then the DreamCloud is a great choice.
From its cashmere tufted cover to the soft memory foams and bouncy pocketed coils beneath, this is one of the most comfortable mattresses you'll sleep in its price range. It was definitely one of the most comfortable online mattresses we've ever tried.
Because this is a medium-firm mattress, it will probably meet the needs of most sleepers. So while the top layer is really soft, you get a really supportive pushback from the firmer foam and pocketed coils.
The bounciness of the latex foam and coils also make it easier to get up from the bed – and make it great for sex (don't ask).
Support is especially great for heavier sleepers.
DreamCloud only offers one medium firm comfort option. Personally, I found the DreamCloud sleeps a bit firmer than other medium-firm plush-topped mattresses.
But it's perfectly comfortable for most people, regardless of your physique or sleeping position.
I'd rate the DreamCloud's firmness at 6.5-7.0, with 10 being too firm.
I think heavier sleepers will love this mattress. Sinkage will not be a problem.
When you first lie on the DreamCloud, it sinks just a tiny a bit because of the soft layer on top. But your back quickly finds the firmer foam, which provides an outstanding amount of support.
Overall, I found the DreamCloud gave me just the right amount of sinkage to feel both plush and supportive but also let me move around at night with little effort.
The exact sinkage you experience will vary on your sleeping position and body weight. There will be less sinkage if you sleep on your stomach or back compared to when you sleep on your side.
Heavier sleepers will experience more sinkage, but I seriously doubt there's any risk of bottoming-out in this thick beast.
Motion Transfer
The DreamCloud mattress has very little motion transfer.
The foam layers at the top do not transfer any disturbance across the bed. The coils, which would normally cause more motion travel, are pocketed which keeps disturbance to a minimum.
In other words, a fidgety partner will not wake you up in the middle of the night.
Hot/Cold Issues
I experienced no hot issues with this mattress.
The breathable cover, gel memory foam and pocketed coils appear to do a great job circulating heat and air through the bed.
Pros and Cons
- Tufted & quilted top adds a luxurious feel.
- Lifetime warranty and 365-night trial period.
- Outstanding level of support.
- Great for heavier sleepers.
- Great choice for couples (zero motion transfer)
- A bit pricey for an online mattress.
- Only one comfort choice.
- No Twin or Twin XL for the guest room.
The Dreamcloud is Perfect For You If…
- You want a luxurious, hotel-quality mattress at half the price of comparable store-bought mattresses.
- You demand outstanding support, excellent cooling and no motion transfer.
- You want a mattress that will last a very long time.
The DreamCloud mattress is luxurious – and sleeps like it's priced.
It costs less my other top online hybrid mattresses, Sapira and Nest Alexander Hybrid, but in my opinion it's by far the best-looking of the bunch.
If you prefer your mattresses firmer than softer and like the feel of a tufted top, then def. buy the DreamCloud.
More importantly, if you honestly compare the Dreamcloud to its $3,000+ equivalents in brick and mortar stores, the price is a downright steal.

Big is back.
In the hunt for synergies, 3G Capital and Berkshire Hathaway have been bulking up, seemingly shopping for a major food marketer acquisition to add to their existing pantry of H.J. Heinz and Kraft Foods. That's stepping up cost-cutting in the industry as potential targets try to fend off the duo's advances.
Marketers including Campbell Soup, General Mills and Kellogg are among those that appear ripe for the taking, according to Wall Street analysts. Those three, among others, are taking the steps they think could help keep them independent, including reducing costs and investing in smaller, fast-growing pockets of the food industry.
Mondelez International found itself in the spotlight this month after the Swiss magazine Bilanz reported that Kraft Heinz, as the combined company is called, wanted to buy it. Other outlets squashed the rumor, suggesting no offer had been made. But the
attraction is obvious. Stifel analyst Christopher Growe said a combined Kraft Heinz-Mondelez would not only create a powerful No. 2 global food maker behind Nestlé, it would also be the category's most profitable. It is still too early to know whether a deal could be in the works, but Mondelez is seen as a potential player one way or another. Earlier this year, it tried to buy rival Hershey, a plan shot down by Hershey leadership.
Morgan Stanley food analyst Matthew Grainger said he believes Kraft Heinz would be looking for "brands with dominant category positioning, potential for international expansion," and, of course, ways to squeeze out more costs and help its bottom line. In his mind, Mondelez would be the most logical candidate for a takeover, noting that both Kellogg and Campbell Soup have large stakes owned by families that might vote against selling.
General Mills, meanwhile, just laid out a new operating structure, including plans to cut 400 to 600 jobs, signaling that it can trim fat while trying to reignite growth in some of its biggest businesses, including yogurt.
And don't count out the smaller players. Pinnacle Foods, which in recent years acquired brands including Birds Eye and Wish-Bone, is now led by CEO Mark Clouse, who joined in May from, you guessed it, Mondelez. Last week, Pinnacle said "transformative" deals remain a priority.

Straight, No Chaser: Artificial Sweeteners
It's always struck me as somewhat odd when people approach me with concerns about sugar substitutes. What I mean by that is my first response is something akin to "Whatever your concerns are, the sugar substitute is going to be safer than using the sugar you've been using." This Straight, No Chaser answers some basic questions about the use of the various artificial sweeteners. The considerations discussed below assume use of artificial sweeteners in a roughly equivalent manner as table sugar (i.e. in the same amounts).
When would I want to use an artificial sweetener?
Let's start with the premise that you would do well to find an alternative to your routine table sugar (sucralose). Just because you're used to it doesn't mean it's safe. The increased calories and subsequence risks for obesity, diabetes and other medical conditions are well and extensively described. Artificial sweeteners are attractive alternatives to sugar because they add essentially no calories to your diet. Also, if you've used artificial sweeteners at all, you likely know you need only a fraction of the amount of sugar you would normally use for sweetness.
What are the health benefits?
There are three potentially big benefits to using artificial sweeteners.
- Dental: Artificial sweeteners don't contribute to dental decay and cavities.
- Weight control: Artificial sweeteners have virtually no calories. In contrast, each gram of regular table sugar contains 4 calories, and a teaspoon of sugar contains about 16 calories. In practical terms, one 12-ounce can of a sweetened cola contains 8 teaspoons of added sugar, or about 130 calories. If you're trying to lose weight or trying to prevent weight gain, using artificial sweeteners instead of higher calorie table sugar may be an attractive option.
- Diabetes control: Unlike sugar, artificial sweeteners generally don't raise blood sugar levels (because they are not carbohydrates). Always check with your doctor or dietitian about using any sugar substitutes if you have diabetes. You'll likely be advised that artificial sweeteners may be a good alternative to sugar if you have diabetes.
What about the possible health concerns with artificial sweeteners?
Many people remember that once upon a time (i.e. in the 1970s), saccharin was linked to bladder cancer in lab rats. Some have been skeptical, if not fearful, of artificial sweeteners ever since. The fact of the matter is, according to the National Cancer Institute and other health agencies, there's no compelling scientific evidence that any of the artificial sweeteners approved for use in the U.S. cause cancer or other serious health problems. Saccharin doesn't even carry a warning label anymore. Furthermore, numerous research studies confirm that artificial sweeteners are generally safe in limited quantities, even for pregnant women. You should be comforted by the fact that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates artificial sweeteners. They all have been extensively reviewed and approved prior to public release. Furthermore, the stated "acceptable daily intake (ADI)" for artificial sweeteners (i.e. the maximum amount considered safe to consume each day over the course of your lifetime) is intended to be about 100 times less than the smallest amount that might cause health concerns.
Bottom line: Moderation is key because artificial sweeteners are attached to foods. Just because a food is marketed as sugar-free (having artificial sweeteners) doesn't mean it's free of calories; there are other ingredients in foods that likely contain calories. A common and realistic fear of artificial sweetener use is folks tend to consume more than they previously may have. This can lead to weight gain! Another consideration is if you're getting your artificial sweeteners in processed foods, these generally don't offer the same health benefits as whole foods such as fruits and vegetables.
There are a million articles from less renown sources that speak to ominous effects of sugar substitutes. Remember that virtually every substance known to man has adverse effects if used excessively. Based on the current medical literature, both on a relative and absolute scale, you should feel no concern with replacing your table sugar with sugar substitutes.

- Do not tolerate any bullying or intimidation by or of your players.
- Communicate any concerns you have to team parents/club officials immediately.
- Know/administer basic first aid.
- Learn about concussions (http://www.cdc.gov/concussion/HeadsUp/youth.html).
- Call 911 if the injury is serious (e.g., head, neck, back, bone fractures, etc.).
- Protect the child from further injury - use good judgment.
- Provide pre/post practice/game warm up and cool down activities.
- Require appropriate gear - shinguards are required for all practices and games.
As members of the McLean community who enjoy the privilege of using County fields for our games and practices, it is essential that we always respectful of the property rights and privacy of those homes that border the fields and the other people who also use the parks and schools. Accordingly, it is essential that MYS members observe the following code of conduct for all the fields used by our members.
Never trespass on private property to gain access to a field. It is better to be a few minutes late than to violate another person's property rights.
Minimize the noise levels during warm-ups for early morning games and late evening practices. Use of horns, wooden clappers, sirens, power megaphones and other
noisemakers is prohibited at all times.
Use public toilets or Port-A-Jons. The alternative is frankly uncivil.
Leave the field free of all trash at the end of a game or practice, even if some of it was there from the group before. This includes bottles, caps, athletic
tape, food wrappers, etc. It is a simple matter to police the field before leaving.
- Use legal parking spaces, even if it requires a longer walk to the field.
We need to establish a high standard of respect for the environment, the neighbors and the other users of the park and school fields. All of these codes of conduct will help educate our children to be responsible adults and enhance our relationship with the neighbors who share our community.

Pc And Expertise Careers, Occupations And Employment Info
Brain-Pc Interfaces, also called Human-Machine Interfaces, are units that allow humans to regulate numerous computer methods using brainwaves. The best way to struggle this after they chilly name you is to sound involved and keep asking questions. Preserve them on the cellphone so long as you can and then at the end, tell them you already know they're crooks and that you just kept them on the road all this time in order that they could not rip someone else off.
Taking 7.5m years to take action, the pc the scale of a small city created by the pan-dimensional, hyper-intelligent species of beings (the mice), came up with the reply: forty two. Nice. That's the type of ridiculously annoying answer I can definitely see AI giving us in the near future.
A bachelor's diploma is commonly thought-about the minimum requirement for entry-level employment. These professionals thinking about career development opportunities ought to contemplate earning a grasp's diploma in computer science or a related subject. Skilled certifications in the use of specific operating systems or software program applications are also available. Certification and persevering with education lessons assist data know-how and computer science professionals to keep up with the latest developments in applied sciences.
Figures I discover out that I needed to be registered to put up one thing. Oh effectively, it`s not the primary and won`t be the final time. Anyway, hi everyone, just needed to say that I`m glad I lastly took the time to take a look at this `Unpacked` website. Since I actually don`t need to retype all the things once more, I`ll put it like this. I've been by some of these scams and virus/malware attacks, and have come out principally profitable. I spent many all day periods, all evening sessions, and some tech assist calls( legit ones ), and much frustration, I am still coping with some points. In the event you don`t have the Chameleon addition, I extremely recommend getting it asap as a result of it has served me properly. I will visit again soon, however within the meantime have a good day/night. Good searching as properly( malware and viruses that's ).
Even harsher situations can be found on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. And there a damaged pc would not just mean a tedious wait; it might probably cost lives. Fujitsu provides the computer systems and IT programs to the British Army and the Navy. Add bomb blasts, dust, warmth, water and unreliable energy provides, and also you get an thought of the challenges dealing with military computers. The computers used in these conditions need to be "ruggedised" fashions: which means toughened screens, aluminium or magnesium physique casing, shock-protected hard drives and spill-proof keyboards designed to take much more than a spot of cappuccino froth.
Simplicity of programs – from very primary to more advanced, many apps are design to be person friendly. For the moderate to extreme inhabitants of students the amount of simple apps is big, plus they're extraordinarily cheap and visually draw students in.

What is Austrian Economics? What is it's future?
The first things that struck me about "Austrians" are - a nice subset of very interesting people (many of who dropped the label and moved on - such as Bryan Caplan), a larger pool of crackpots (note: this post evolved out of my comment to above link), "whats up with the name? Seems crankish.", and a strange focus of a sizable subset on defining themselves to the exclusion of creating themselves via works.
Basically, a small set of very productive, interesting, thoughtful people in a group of not so much. But is it even meaningful to call this subgroup "Austrian"? Do Austrians have a good definition of themselves - it does not seem so, despite the efforts, and little work seems to be focused on creating evidence to discriminate between "orthodox" and "Austrian". We are in a golden time, in terms of a lot is happening socially and economically, where is the public and intellectual muscle?
What appears to discriminate "Austrian" from "orthodox" economics seems to be mostly the personal history and interests of practitioners: many Austrians come into the field from a philosophical rather than technical perspective - they care about deep and subtle ideas and reality, not cranking out technical machinations. As such we can label Austrians as being more of this type, but from looking at the apparent large subset of Austrians that don't seem to challenge themselves and instead focus on intragroup peer acceptance, this seems a poor labeling - there are also many people like this in "orthodox" economics, and indeed, there is a subset of the curious and engaged in all fields. In addition we can identify a tradition of libertarianism, some key figures (von Mises & Hayek & others) and their bodies of work, and a few key theories. But these anchors of Austrianism are somewhat arbitary, as others can and do read them, and many who do not identify as Austrian are inspired by those and other works. And the theories do not seem to be very distinct, or correct. This is also an insufficient labeling scheme.
I look at Austrianism as forming two components: a "core economics" that is not actually viable as an alternative, at least Austrians themselves have not demonstrated that it is, and as a community that attracts those interested in deep ideas, people, choices, actions - philosophers in the good sense. These people are influenced by "Austrianism", and may even label themselves as so, but they are merely curious and engaged people who are intellectually honest (the opposite of crackpots).
I see the future of Austrianism as being dictated by the subset of Austrians I would not label Austrians - either they will actually distinguish Austrian Economics in a meaningful manner, or they will continue to engage other intellectuals with what is essentially not exclusivly Austrian methods and approaches and Austrianism will wither as a meaningful community.
Right now, to an outside observer, it appears that Austrian Economics is a community that grew out of a failed, but important experiment, and "top Austrians" are actually "just" intetellecually curious and honest economists who have come through the Austrian community (and continue to self-identify with the community).
"Interesting Economist" = (economist|"intellecually curious & honest")
where "intellecually curious & honest" = subset of (Austrian community, "masonomics", philosophy interest, basically any group....).
Some Austrians seem to think they have an exclusive niche on "intellecually curious & honest", but they are just one of many communities, people, backgrounds, and disciplines that are (or rather, a subset of Austrians, like a subset of other groups, are part of this niche). "intellecually curious & honest" does not equal "Austrian Economics", and to an external observer it seems that as time goes by "intellecually curious & honest" people will have to increasingly strain in order to stomach the label of Austrian Economics (unless something fundamentally changes, and the programme because a viable possiblity again - so far the experiment seems to have failed, the evidence suggests moving on).
If and when that time comes that Austrian Economics wimpers into the trashbin of history, will we lose anything? I don't think so - we always will have a subset of the "intellecually curious & honest", and they will always tend to find each other and work together. In the medium run GMU and other current departments will will hold the mantle that Austrian Economics once did (I see it as an ember, now dying), in the long run other groups with spark up, carry the mantle for a while, and then die. There are markets in everything - it is not the particular insitutions we care about, but the availablity of the "products". The market for likeminded honest & curious minds will remain, and insitutions will evolve, grow, and die in meeting this want. That is the beauty of the market.
Holding onto Austrian Economics seems like trying to prop up GM or Chrysler - release the resources to productive ends already. Stop blowing on the ember and accept the evidence at hand.

What is Austrian Economics? What is it's future?
Posted by Arare Litus at 10:34 AM
1 comment:
Austrians absolutely must read this. I suggest you send it to Peter Boettke (in my opinion, the "top Austrian" of today, particular wrt his students). If the "Austrian" label dies at GMU, it is fully dead I think.ReplyDelete
I see the useful elements of Austrianism - a distrust of complicated mathematics that obscure poor economic logic and the use of the analytic-narrative approach to empirical institutional analysis as eventually being embraced by the mainstream, at least to some degree, just as most of the Austrians salient contributions have been absorbed into the mainstream historically.

Department Information
Bringing an International Visitor to Ohio University
Ohio University has a long tradition of bringing international visitors to campus for academic exchange. These visitors often require support from the university in order to obtain the necessary immigration documents to enter or remain in the US, and in some cases, to be employed by the university. International Student and Faculty Services (ISFS) provides this support for departments and international visitors. This information has been prepared to help departments with the process of inviting and hosting an international visitor.
Part I: General immigration information
It is important to plan ahead and initiate the process to bring an Exchange Visitor to OHIO as far in advance as possible. It will take at several months from the point of contacting ISFS to request a DS2019 to the Exchange Visitor arriving on campus. This process can be longer depending on the academic discipline and country of citizenship for the Exchange Visitor.
J-1 Category
International visitors are included in the Exchange Visitor Program, which allows the visitor to apply for a J-1 visa to enter the US. The relevant J categories are listed below. The final determination of the category will be made by ISFS in conjunction with the visitor and the hosting department.
Minimum length of stay
Maximum length of stay
Activities at Ohio University
J-1 Short-term scholar
6 months*
lecturing, observing, consulting, training, or demonstrating special skills
J-1 Professor**
3 weeks
5 years*
primarily teaching, lecturing, observing, or consulting; may also conduct research
J-1 Research Scholar**
3 weeks
5 years*
primarily conducting research, observing, or consulting in connection with a research project, may also teach or lecture
* The initial stay may be for less than the maximum stay and extended as needed to the maximum stay.
**The J-1 Professor and J-1 Research Scholar are subject to the following restrictions :
- the visitor's position at the university may not be tenure track;
- the visitor may not have been in a J status of professor or researcher for 24 months prior to the start of their visit to Ohio University, unless the visitor is currently in the US and transferring a SEVIS record to Ohio University;
- the visitor will not be allowed to return to the US for 24 months as a J-1 visiting professor or research scholar following the program end date.
International visitors included in the Exchange Visitor Program may request immigration documents for their dependents to travel to the US with them. Dependents include spouses and children under the age of 21.
Health Insurance
International visitors included in the Exchange Visitor Program must comply with the Department of State regulations regarding health insurance (see Ohio University Exchange Visitor Health Insurance Requirements and Agreement ). This includes any dependents who accompany the visitor.
Financial Support Documents
International visitors included in the Exchange Visitor Program must provide financial documents for themselves and any accompanying dependents. Any financial support/salary from Ohio University should be included.
Two-year home residency requirement
Certain international visitors included in the Exchange Visitor Program will be subject to a requirement that they return to their home country for two years before being allowed to return to the US in certain immigration statuses. This requirement is most common for international visitors receiving financial support from their home government or the US government and for international visitors on their country's "Skills List". Please consult with ISFS if more information is needed.
English language proficiency
The US government requires Ohio University to assess a prospective Exchange Visitor's level of English proficiency to ensure the Exchange Visitor possesses "sufficient proficiency in the English language, as determined by an objective measurement of English language proficiency, successfully to participate in his or her program and to function on a day-to-day basis."
The department hosting the Exchange Visitor must assess the individual's English language proficiency as part of the application process. Departments can choose one of the four options below:
- Provide a letter signed by the faculty/staff host and the department chair/director stating that the Exchange Visitor is a native speaker of English
- Provide the results of a recognized English proficiency test (TOEFL, IELTs, etc.) demonstrating that the Exchange Visitor's proficiency meets or exceeds the program's requirement. Test results must be no more than three years old; include the test results with the Exchange Visitor application.
- Provide a signed document from an academic institution or English language school verifying the Exchange Visitor's English proficiency meets or exceeds the program's requirement. The letter must be no more than three years old; a copy of the letter should be included with the Exchange Visitor application.
- Provide a written summary of an in-person, videoconference, or telephone interview of the Exchange Visitor demonstrating that the Exchange Visitor's proficiency meets or exceeds the regulatory requirement. The Physics Department prepared a helpful guidance document. It is shared with their permission.
Part II: University procedures
To request immigration documents for an international visitor, the department must complete an "Application for Exchange Visitor" available at the bottom of this page. Once the completed application, invitation letter, and supporting financial documents are submitted to ISFS, a Form DS2019 will be issued for the international visitor and any dependents. This process may take several weeks to complete, depending on how quickly the application form can be completed.
It is the responsibility of the sponsoring department to mail the DS-2019 to the Exchange Visitor.
When the international visitor receives the Form DS-2019, he or she will need to pay the SEVIS I-901 fee of $220 (information included with the DS-2019) and apply for a J-1 visa to enter the US. Dependents do not need to pay the SEVIS fee; they do need to apply for J-2 visas. This may also take several weeks.
IMPORTANT : The international visitor may enter the US up to 30 days prior to the start date on the DS-2019. The Exchange Visitor must report to ISFS within 3 business days of entering the US. If the visitor is not able to enter the US and report to ISFS during this window, ISFS will issue an updated DS-2019 with a later start date. Please contact ISFS if this situation arises.
After arriving at Ohio University, the international visitor and the department host/contact must report the arrival to ISFS and schedule a new scholar orientation meeting. The international visitor must present their immigration documents including their passport, DS-2019 and I-94 when reporting their arrival. The international visitor must also either bring proof of the required health insurance or purchase university coverage. The orientation meeting will include information about maintaining immigration status, health insurance, and applying for a Social Security Number.
The hosting department should contact ISFS at least one month prior to the end date on the visitor's DS2019 in the event an extension is needed. The extension request form can be found at the bottom of this page.
The department must notify ISFS when the visitor departs the university early or at the end of their program.
The international visitor should notify ISFS prior to any temporary trips outside the US so staff may review their immigration documents.
Department Forms
To request visa documents for a new scholar, please download and complete the J-1 Visitor Application form. Please note that pages 6 - 9 must be completed by the scholar. If you are inviting the scholar for 6 months or less, you will also need to include the Short Term Scholar Supplement form.
To request an extension of the J-1 program for one of your current Exchange Visitors, please download and complete the Department Application for J-1 Extension form. Please note that the last page must be signed by the scholar.

Lack of motivation is one of the main sources of stress and one of the most insidious hurdles we have to face when it comes to reaching our goals. It hinders our productivity from the very bottom, turning the simplest of tasks into a complete nightmare. Beacuse of this, I have chosen 5 quotes that will keep you motivated!
1. "Don't watch the clock; see what it does. Keep going." – Sam Levenson
2. "When you feel like quitting: think about why you started" – Author Unkown
3. "The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." – Winston Churchill
4. "Believe you can and you're halfway there." – Theodore Roosevelt
5. "It always seems impossible until it's done." – Nelson Mandela
That is it. These are just five of the many worth the share, so do comment if you have any other that resonates with you and that you would like to see added to the list 🙂

Learn Thai with Koh Samui Language School Elementary Classes
Thai language lessons with 'Learn Thai' texbooks
The second level of Thai lessons build on what students learned in book 1. In class, we begin to focus on simple conversational structure, trying to help our students understand and speak simple Thai. Students learn how to speak using grammar points and vocabulary from the book. Students also begin to learn how to read and write Thai characters, taking what the students learnt in the beginner lessons and putting that into practise by beginning to focus on Thai spelling. Similar to the beginner lessons, these are designed to be involving and stimulating, putting emphasis on active group learning and trail and error.
These classes are more conversational in nature. Students are introduced to a story in the book, which they interact with as characters from the story, learning basic conversational structures. Vocabulary is learned through repetition and role-play.

It's the ultimate merging when lightyear-size galaxies attract each other and collide. The process takes billions of years, and although we won't be able to record a whole collision in our lifetime, the Hubble Space Telescope has given us glimpses of various galaxies around the universe at different stages of their collision.
What Happens When Galaxies Collide?
The merging of galaxies will radically affect their shape. For example, two spiral galaxies can merge and form an elliptical galaxy. Sometimes even more than two galaxies can collide with each other. Although galaxies have a lot of starts, it is very unlikely that starts from both galaxies actually collide. This is because of all the space in between the stars. As the galaxies merge the start would just pass by each other.
Merging galaxies can also trigger the creation of new stars. Galaxies are also composed of gas and dust. The gravitational pull of both colliding stars can interact with this materials, creating friction and shock waves that can ignite the formation of new stars.
The Discovery of Other Galaxies
Edwin Powel Hubble, from which the Hubble Space Telescope is named after, was the American astronomer who discovered that many space objects, previously classified as nebulae laying very close or within the Milky Way Galaxy, were actually galaxies beyond our galaxy.
Around the early 1900s, it was believed that the universe consisted simply of the Milky Way Galaxy. Hubble, through observations at the Mount Wilson Observatory, between 1922 to 1923, was able to prove that some that stars were part of more distant nebulae. Many of them being part of the Andromeda Galaxy.
Through his findings, Hubble was able to classify all the galaxies the discovered based on the photographic appearance, this classification is now known as the Hubble Sequence.
The Collision Simulation
Collaborations between the Advanced Visualization Laboratory (AVL) at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), NASA and, Drs. Brant Robertson (Caltech) and Lars Hernquist (Harvard Univ.) brought to life the data of a scientific theoretical model of two colliding galaxies into a computerized simulation.
The visualization of the two colliding galaxies interacting with each other and finally merging takes a period spanning about two billion years. This computer simulation is the only way to give us a quick view of the whole process. Even so, shapes, dimensions, and speeds of different galaxies can create different outcomes but this simulation is the closest, yet, we can get to observe such an amazing dance between giants.
This is the simulation video by NCSA/NASA/B. Robertson (Caltech) and L. Hernquist (Harvard Univ.).
This is another summation video showing how it resembles different pictures taken by Hubble Space Telescope.
Milky Way Collisions
The Milky Way and Andromeda
It's predicted that in about four billion years these two galaxies will collide. The Andromeda galaxy has a diameter of 220,00 light years, making it much bigger than our Milky Way at 100,000 light years in diameter. Andromeda is 2.537 million light years from us and getting closer. The merging will change completely the structure of both galaxies and in the end, it will be a completely new galaxy.
The Milky Way Colliding with Dwarf Galaxies
In 2003 a team of International astronomers discovered an even closer galaxy, the Canis Major dwarf galaxy. It lays at about 42.000 light years from the Milky Way's center and 25,000 light years from Earth. It's been pulled apart as it orbits the Milky Way. Now it's stream of gas and dust surrounding the Milky Way.
Another dwarf galaxy surrounding the Milky Way is the Sagittarius Dwarf. It was discovered in 1994 and just like the Canis Major dwarf galaxy, the massive pull of the Milky Way's gravity has been tearing it apart over billions of years. It's now seen an elongated tidal stream around our galaxy and sits at about 70,000 light years away from the Sun.
Other Galaxies:
- M51 is a spiral galaxy, about 30 million light-years away, that's in the process of merging with a smaller galaxy.
- Galaxy NGC 3921 is an interacting pair of disk galaxies in the late stages of its merger. Observations show that the galaxies collided about 700 million years ago. The tails and loops are characteristic of a post-merger.

Winter Wonderland
Just a few pics of our winterwonderland of the last two days. These first ones are of the boys out in the forest in the blizzard of yesterday (no, we couldn't convince them to wait until the high-speed winds had stopped before we went out). Jon and Courtney, those beanies you brought back from South America have been put to good use!
And here are some snaps of today's trip to the park. The boys ganged up on me in snowball fights, which quickly degenerated into "great big hunks of snow" fights. A good time was had by all.

Look round our planet and populations are on the move .Desperate people are trekking to a "promised land", where life is said to be better. Desperate people in those promised lands, feel overwhelmed, sympathy turns to resentment and anger. Immigration is going to increase as the climate changes will force people to move, immigration will increase as unchecked breeding swells populations to un -sustainable levels and people move to survive. If scientist are right and sea levels rise, whole expanses of previous productive land will be lost under water. Islands could disappear. river delta areas gone, putting huge populations in danger. Some immigration is due to conflict and this should be solvable but seemingly is not. We have religions fighting for dominance, and sects within religions bitterly fighting each other.
We have tried stopping immigration with obstacles both physical and abstract with little to no success. The tide of the desperate , the poor keeps coming. So what is to be done? there will always be some movement of people for various reasons and that is a good thing but can we reduce the endless tide of people, families? Broadly speaking the human animal is a creature of habit, of family, of culture. Most will not move if they cam have a reasonable decent life in their homeland. That is the key. Global communication means that a person living in a hut up a mountain in Africa, a mother in a remote Asian village or man eking a living on a sinking Pacific island see how people in rich countries live. They watch Western TV films and the people seem to live like princes, with no worries and not much work.Of cause they want some of that, don't we all?
I think we are going to pay one way or another no way out of this. We either pay out coping with a great influx of immigrants or we pay out making their lives better in their own countries. Do we need a world minimum wage for labour? Fair trade price for goods and raw materials,resources ? In the future we will have to include fresh water here too. The prices fixed by some international body, Guaranteed education for women, this will help limit family size. I have lost a great deal of the idealistic faith that I used to have in the UN, it either needs revitalizing or a new international forum with 'teeth' to enforce rulings. Sadly I'm not holding my breath on this one.
Yes......this does mean that our standard of living will not increase , we will watch poorer countries increase their standards however. I think too that we have limit the differential between the super rich and the poor, for the sake of stability and peace we have to restore a middle class in most Western countries. We all have to make ----greed---- unthinkable, a sin against mankind. Oops! I'm not allowed to say man-kind anymore, it has to be people kind? person kind, human- kind,take your pick!
Anyone with any other constructive ideas? please let us know, we all need to solve this problem.Recommend0 recommendations

They finished it about a month ago in time for spring planting in SW New York state. So far two wheelchair users from the area have started plots. I pasted a photo below.

The Wall Street Journal has updated their article from yesterday and made it 100% crystal clear that they're not talking about some random CDMA iPhone but an iPhone for Verizon's CDMA network. If they're right, it's done folks. AT&T exclusivity is over.
Verizon Wireless has been meeting with Apple, adding capacity and testing its networks to prepare for the heavy data load by iPhone users, according to one person familiar with the matter. The carrier is seeking to avoid the kind of public-relations hit that AT&T took when the boom in data-hungry iPhones overtaxed its network, especially in New York and San Francisco.
iPhone-on-Verizon users, however, would be even more eager to avoid locked down search, bloatware, locked down aGPS, Verizon app stores, etc. And if Verizon even hints at putting iPhone on BOGO Steve Jobs will be reaching for his ninja stars faster than you can say "Whoosh!"
That's where it goes back to what TiPb has been writing about all along -- the technology is in place, it's the Apple/Verizon deal that's the hold up. It's something they couldn't do in 2007 when Apple was an unknown in mobile and Verizon wanted to own the music store, and now that Apple has a hit phone and Verizon has the Droid line, what gets it done in 2010?
With Android, Google has given Verizon a platform powerful and far more malleable than than iOS will ever be, and that would seem to make them far less likely to bend in face of Apple's desire to own the end-user experience. It's why I still think it's possible Verizon will roll their own, Android-derived V-OS -- or just make a UI like Sprint ID -- in the future.
If the iPhone on Verizon deal is done as WSJ suggests, it's one of three ways:
- Verizon has insisted on doing with iPhone what they've done with Android, Palm, and pretty much every other smartphone they've ever gotten their claws on, and Apple blinked.
- Apple told Verizon they're selling the phone as-is, just like the AT&T iPhone but with a different radio, and Verizon blinked.
- A compromise was reached, similar to Apple holding back on MMS and Tethering for AT&T or removing Wi-Fi from the original China Unicom iPhone, and they both blinked... a little.
Option 3 seems the most likely, an iPhone as we all know and love it with a few concessions to make Verizon happy. As a consumer I'm hoping Apple stands up to Verizon as they've stood up to past carriers, and Verizon users get the same iPhone pretty much everyone else has.
iPhone as-is makes tons of money for Apple and AT&T. It'll make tons of money for Verizon too. Hopefully that's the bottom line here.

The 90's nostalgia is back with a vengeance isn't it? The return of crop tops, glitter and flatforms is upon us and doesn't appear to be leaving anytime soon.
Girl Power was one of the mottos to live by in the Nineties (way before #YOLO), and nothing conveyed this message more than anime Sailor Moon.
Venturing into the realms of geekdom here, I actually had an MSN(!) username based on Sailor Mars(my favourite) and a questionable crush on Tuxedo Mask. My cat was my Luna and I was SO EFFING COOL. In my head. Anyway, the Sailor Scouts kicked butt and left some really important messages about friendship, love and feminism along the way.
Some loves never leave you, and many years later, I've picked up some cool Sailor Scout Style items that I wanted to share with you guys.
Me and my boyfriend ventured to the heath at sunset yesterday, so apologise for the lighting, I'm not really orange!
