Who are the Deal or No Deal Models?
Deal or No Deal's massive success is not something anyone could have predicted. Let's be honest here, the actual Deal or No Deal game is pretty darn stupid. There is no skill involved, unless you count "not being a moron" as a skill. It's the equivalent of watching someone play roulette or blackjack; sure it's intriguing, but it's not intellectually stimulating. So, why is it so popular? One answer is that we are a nation of idiots and simple, mind-numbing shows are the ones best suited for the masses.
However, I think that explanation is needlessly cynical. One of things that certainly contributes to the success of Deal or No Deal are the Deal or No Deal models.
Yes, the models. They are beautiful and abundant. The way they slowly open those briefcases with their signature deft touch is truly awe inspiring. Frankly, the Deal or No Deal models make the show.
Without them, what would you have? A lot of unopened briefcases, for one. My interest in the Deal or No Deal models led me to the NBC website, where each model is profiled with a mini, yet comprehensive biography. This is what I learned:
Alike: One of her goals in life is to publish a reference book. It doesn't say if she plans on writing it, though. Also, is a fan of pancakes.
Anya: Was born in Russia, is trained in the Chinese Martial Art of Wushu, and wants to star in action films.
Aubrie: Plays the harp and has qualified for Mensa.
Brooke: A cheerleading mercenary who has cheered for the San Diego Chargers, the L.A.
Avengers, the L.A. Lakers, and the Miami Heat.
Claudia: Has an obsession with "gory stuff" and is an amateur rapper.
Jenelle: Has a boyfriend. Booo.
Jill: Finds skydiving boring, has lived in Taiwan, loves to twirl batons and "plays baseball better than most men".
Katie: Former America's Next Top Model contestant, loves animals.
Kelly: Can sing opera and is a master chef.
Keltie: Has a fireman boyfriend (typical) and can burp her ABCs.
Laura: Grw up in England, had a pet horse, and has an IQ of 158. Has appeared on the cover of Mensa Magazine.
Leyla: Has acted in a bunch of mvies and TV shows and is an entrepeneur, having once started her very own line of jeans.
Lindsay: Hunts, fishes and shoots archery.
Marisa: A survivor of a rare childhood cancer called Rhabdomyosarcoma.
Megan: Was, apparently, in my class at Loyola Marymount. You'd think I would remember her.
Meghan: A Scrabble fanatic.
Pilar: Former Playboy model who has written two dating books and is trying to develop a cooking show.
Sara: Has played a number of the Seven Dwarves for the Disneyland parade.
Stacey: Has passed the Bar and is now a practicing attorney.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting this from the model's biographies.
I was hoping there'd be some embarrassing unintentional comedy. Deal or No Deal hires well-rounded girls to model for them. I'm impressed. Hell, they have two members of Mensa wearing cocktail dresses and opening briefcases for a living. Find another show that can say that.

A Mass Customization Revolution
A Mass Customization RevolutionThe Industrial RevolutionThe great social and economic changes due to the introduction of machine and power tools and large-scale industrial production began in 1760. Through the first 70 years of this century, the US was the industrial giant of the world. In 1960 the words "Made in Japan" was thought to be a joke. By 1980, those same words had become the standard for manufacturing. In 1985, U.S.
manufacturing was in a deep depression. Products were too costly, of poor quality and not innovative enough.Now, again, America is ranked No. 1 in manufacturing (World Competitiveness Report, 1996).Mass customizationAmerica's No. 1 standing is primarily due to the manufacturing revolution that has been under way since 1985. This quiet revolution is built on the unsurpassed innovative spirit of the American people.
Innovation is one of the qualities upon which America is founded. American manufactures are the world's leading innovators. The right combination...

Where is YOUR place in global markets?
Internet has changed our world fast and forever.Global markets are the feature affecting every industry.The whole world is watching "American Idol", "Survivor" and "Friends", listening to Eminem and Britney Spears, admiring "The Lord Of The Rings" and "Titanic", and reading the latest New York bestsellers.

Jobs are increasingly shipped overseas where companies can save thousands of $$$ using discrepancies in the income level.

Get Dressed and Get Hired
Tying a tie properly may tie you to your next employer. A properly tied tie is essential to a good first impression. With the recent outcry regarding athletes wearing flip-flops to the White House, it's apparent that a review of socially acceptable fashion rules is needed.Gone are the days of Leave It To Beaver and other such shows which often depicted the strong leader of the family proudly donning a suit and tie for his daily job and any other social occasion. Today's impressionable society takes more cues from the Internet than from Nick at Nite.Formal Friday night dinners are a thing of the past and many churches have relaxed their dressing expectations, so it's possible that a young man could get through college without ever having to tie a tie. Even if they went to a formal dance they may have worn a clip-on bow tie.Many young men graduating from college don't get hired because of the way they present themselves.
They have a general disregard in how they dress for their...
