New Delhi: Former telecom minister A Raja today appeared before the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for questioning in the Rs22,000 crore second generation (2G) spectrum scam, over a year after the agency registered a case in this connection, reports PTI.
47-year-old Mr Raja appeared before the agency this morning after he was summoned by the CBI under Section 160 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
Mr Raja, who had earlier expressed his inability to appear before the agency, is likely to be questioned at length on the circumstances leading to spectrum allocation which has been criticised severely by the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) and the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG).
He was forced to resign last month in the wake of a controversy over his role in the spectrum allocation.
Mr Raja is likely to be questioned on the issue of advancing dates for allocation of spectrum and on the role of his relatives in some of the companies which allegedly acted as a front for certain telecom firms which got spectrum between September 2007 and January 2008.
Mr Raja got the telecom portfolio on 18 May 2007 and again got re-elected as a member of the 15th Lok Sabha and continued as telecom minister from 31 May 2009 till 14th November, this year when he tendered his resignation.
The former minister, who flew to Delhi on Wednesday night from Chennai, had told reporters that he would co-operate with the CBI in the probe.
The Supreme Court has asked the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate to submit status reports on their investigations into the 2G case to it by 10th February, when the case will come up for further hearing.
The CAG in its report to Parliament had said that the allocation of 2G spectrum at undervalued prices had resulted in the loss of Rs1.76 lakh crore to the exchequer.
The CBI in its FIR had mentioned the loss as Rs22,000 crore based on the findings of CVC which had referred the case to it.
Corporate lobbyist Niira Radia was earlier this week quizzed by the CBI at her South Delhi farmhouse. Ms Radia, who was questioned for four hours, came under the scanner after her taped telephonic conversations with various influential people including industrialists, politicians and journalists became public.
The CBI has also questioned former Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) chief Pradip Baijal, a 1966 batch IAS officer of Madhya Pradesh cadre, in connection with the case.
The premises of Mr Raja, MR Baijal and Ms Radia were searched by the CBI earlier this month.
The local market is likely to open on a cautious note on subdued cues from the global arena. Wall Street closed mostly lower overnight in the holiday-shortened week on low volumes and mixed economic data while markets in Asia were trading mostly lower in early trade today on lower metal prices that put pressure on mining companies. The SGX Nifty was down 7.50 points at 5,988.50 compared to its previous close of 5,995.
The market opened with meagre gains on Thursday, tracking its Asian peers that were mixed. The indices slipped into the red after touching the day's high and were range-bound. However, a sharp rise in the weekly food inflation data put pressure on the market, dragging the indices down. The post-noon session saw the key indices trading sideways on both sides of the neutral line. The market closed flat with a negative bias, down for the second day in a row.
The Sensex ended at 19,982.88, below its psychological level of 20,000 and down by 32.92 points (0.16%) over its previous close. The Nifty settled 4.40 points (0.07%) lower at 5,980.
The US markets closed mostly lower on Thursday on mixed economic data amid thin-volume trade in the holiday-shortened week. In economic data, consumer sentiment was up in December to its highest level since June and demand for long-lasting manufactured goods rose. Initial claims for jobless benefits edged down, but a rise in new home sales in November was below expectations. A rise in copper inventories on the London Metal Exchange renewed demand concerns from China, the world's largest consumer of metals.
The Dow gained 14 points (0.12%) to 11,573.49. The S&P 500 shed down 2.07 points (0.16%) at 1,256.77. The Nasdaq lost 5.88 points (0.22) to 2,665.60.
US stock markets are closed on Friday for the Christmas Eve holiday.
Markets in Asia were mostly lower in early trade on Friday on speculations of China's policy measures and a fall in metal prices. Chinese stocks were lower on worries that higher lending costs will raise borrowing costs while new rules might curb auto sales. Japan's Nikkei was down on lower metal prices and the weakening dollar against the yen lowered the outlook for exporters.
The Shanghai Composite declined 0.43%, the Hang Seng fell 0.30%, the KLSE Composite was down 0.13%, the Nikkei 225 shrank by 0.71%, the Seoul Composite shed 0.08% and the Taiwan Weighted fell 0.30%. On the other hand, the Straits Times surged 0.22% in early trade. The SGX Nifty was down 7.50 points at 5,988.50 compared to its previous close of 5,995.
India has been ranked as the most preferred real estate destination in the Asia Pacific region as foreign investors still consider the country to be extremely viable, a report released on Thursday showed.
"India, and particularly Mumbai and New Delhi, are ranked the foremost real estate market destinations as the residential properties have maintain the growth momentum, and foreign investors still consider this market to be extremely viable," the ULI-PwC report, 'Emerging trends in Real Estate in Asia Pacific 2011', said.
Going forward, the report forecast that India will continue to maintain a GDP growth momentum of 9%-10% per cent by 2015, as Asia's third-largest economy will witness new private equity in capital markets which will inject capital in infrastructure projects.
Today we are opening up our database to all readers. You can access stock prices and corporate information of about 1,334 companies spread across 49 sectors and five capitalisation sizes, tracked by Moneylife, anytime you want to.
We felt one of the key aspects missing on Moneylife portal was the updated stock market prices and corporate database, which we follow while tracking the listed entities. The main advantage of using Moneylife tickers and database is the customised format of our unique data in true digital avatar.
Moneylife database of 1334 companies undergoes periodic revision as new companies get listed or some become unworthy of investment. So you may ask how it is different and how it works?
How are we different?
For starters, the ticker at the top is 'smart' and flexible. That means you can change the ticker according to either Moneylife Market Cap (ML MCap) or Moneylife Sector (ML Sector). For example, if you select ML MegaCap and then click on the 'Go' tab, you would be able to see stock prices of companies from the ML Mega Cap list. Similarly, if you select ML Auto, then you would be able to see stock prices of companies from this sector and so on.
Remember, Moneylife is the first publication that uses Mega Cap (companies with MCap of over Rs10,000 crore) and Micro Cap (companies with a MCap of less than Rs100 crore) to grade companies, besides the regular Large Cap, Mid Cap and Small Cap, according to their market capitalisation on that particular day.
We have tried to keep it really simple and easy to understand. On the company snapshot page, we have listed four-five key ratios, which give a fair idea about the health and profitability of a company. Some of the key ratio that your may want to take a look are Price to Earnings (P/E) ratio, Price to Book Value (P/Bv) ratio and Return on Equity (ROE) ratio. You really don't need anything more than this.
How does it work?
It is simple. You can either click on the name of any company that appears on the scrolling ticker. Or you can type the company's name in the 'Get Quote' window and it will open up a snapshot of the selected company. This is where you can see the fundamentals and technicals of the company's stock.
In the 'smart' Price Charts, you would be able to compare the share price movement of the selected company with its peers or with Moneylife's sectoral index. Here you can compare price movement from one day to five years. It also gives you the daily moving average (DMA) for 20 days, 50 days and 200 days, provided you select the appropriate period for the price chart. For example for a DMA of 20 days you need to select a period of 1 month and more. Similarly, for a 50DMA you will have to select a period of three months and more and so on.
Here are some key features that you can use to know more about any particular company.
1. Check the company's share price performance on the BSE and NSE
2. Check the company's share price performance ranging from one day to five years
3. The company's recent shareholding pattern
4. Check the growth indicators like sales, operating profit and net profit over the last five quarters and year on year growth
5. Check the financials of a company (Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet) with detailed break up for past 4 years
6. Observe overall effectiveness of the company in terms of different ratios like return on equity, return on assets and return on investments and other crucial valuation ratios. These ratios are all you need.
7. The mutual fund schemes that hold shares in the company and the size of their holding.
We believe that this is all you need to make intelligent assessment of a stock's trend and its fundamentals. At least that's what we use, which has yielded consistently high returns in the past.
Hope you will find our new feature useful. Write to us [email protected] or [email protected] with comments and suggestions. Happy Investing

Buckles fights to keep his job at G4S
Nick Buckles, the chief executive of G4S, appeared to be fighting for his job after it emerged that a surprise shortage of security guards was only exposed during a dress rehearsal nine days ago that was part of the Olympics contract.
Speaking before a series of meetings with leading shareholders on Monday, John Connolly, the newly appointed chairman of G4S, declined to express outright support for the chief executive. He had already angered investors eight months ago with a failed bid to buy the Danish security giant ISS at a cost of £50m.
"Let's see what happens in the morning," Mr Connolly told the Financial Times, referring to a suggestion by Mr Buckles in weekend papers that the share price on Monday could decide his fate.
Mr Connolly also admitted that the total cost to the company of the debacle, estimated at about £50m last week, would not emerge for some weeks.
"In this case we're not close to being able to come up with the right answer," he said.
He acknowledged that the failure to provide 10,500 security guards in time for the Olympics, with the army called in to fill the gap, represented a much more serious failure than the collapse of the ISS bid. "This is different," he said. "This is the business of the company rather than any development outside it."
The fiasco is especially damaging for G4S because, with more than £1bn of annual revenues from contracts in the UK public sector, the British government is one of the group's biggest outsourcing customers. Mr Buckles is facing a grilling with MPs on Tuesday, while Labour has accused ministers managing the contract of being "dangerously incompetent".
Mr Connolly, who joined G4S in May this year, expressed his whole-hearted apologies and said the immediate priority was to "do the proper thing and take responsibility".
"We don't want to do anything that smacks of short-term expediency but it would be right to consider whether any members of the senior team are best placed to take the company forward," he said. "Any decision we make as a board will be in the clear interests of the entire company."
More than 1,000 G4S managers are now engaged in managing the Olympics security contract, up from 600 a week ago, with staff working around the clock to get as many guards trained as possible.

Chapungu send out warning
CHAPUNGU have warned Castle Lager Premier Soccer League championship chasing sides FC Platinum, Caps United and Highlanders to expect difficult games when they visit Ascot Stadium in Gweru.
John Nyikadzino, Chapungu's head coach, said his team is targeting a top eight finish and they have to win all their remaining matches to realise that goal. The Air Force of Zimbabwe side is presently 12th on the league table with 31 points.
Third-placed Highlanders visit Ascot Stadium tomorrow, with log leaders FC Platinum, who beat the airmen 1-0 in the first leg at Mandava in Zvishavane, expected at Ascot on Week 28, while second-placed Caps United will play their final game of the season in Gweru.
Nyikadzino vowed that they would halt Highlanders' five-game unbeaten run.
"Our aim is to finish in a respectable position and what is needed is for us to win our remaining matches. We just have to capitalise on home advantage and prepare in a manner that will ensure that we collect maximum points in our three home games. I know we will play the championship favourites in those games, and playing against such sides motivates the players as they put in extra effort. All our home games are against difficult and formidable sides, but we are ready for them, starting against Highlanders," said Nyikadzino.
He reported a clean bill of health in his camp and will pin his hopes on veteran forward Philip Marufu, Allen Tavarwisa and Patrick Khumbula.
Xolani Ncube, Hillary Mugoniwa, Tafadzwa Mombeshora and Jameson Mukombwe can also ensure Chapungug collect maximum points if theyy are in form.
However, Highlanders have been in top form and have the advantage of a huge vociferous fan base all over the country.
Bosso collected 15 points from their last five league games and their supporters, who believe this could be their year, are likely to embark on colourful road shows, from Bulawayo and Harare, to paint Gweru black and white.
But Nyikadzino said his players would not be intimidated by Highlanders' supporters.
"I've a group of fighters, who are willing to break a leg for victory. We respect Highlanders, but we're not afraid of them. Actually we don't care about what's happening on their side as we're focusing on collecting maximum points," said Nyikadzino.
On Highlanders' intention of training at the match venue, Nyikadzino said: "We're concentrating on getting maximum points and whatever Highlanders do doesn't concern us. We will work on a game plan that will aid us towards collecting maximum points and won't be distracted by petty issues."
Highlande r s travel to Gweru bubbling with confidence and will be hoping goalkeeper Ariel Sibanda, defenders Peter Muduhwa and Tendai Ndlovu, vice-captain Erick Mudzingwa and veteran striker Ralph Matema can guide them to glory like in the previous five games. Table — @ZililoR

It would be great if these plug-ins could be part of the default PhoneGap project, so that you can use the same js-code for all devices. Or is there another solution?

Listening From Within: A Courage to Lead Retreat for Women
Date: April 27 Location: Menucha Retreat and Conference Center
Menucha Retreat and Conference Center
Listening From Within is a Courage to Lead® retreat designed specifically for women, offering the time and space to reflect on the complex, challenging, and changing dimensions of being both a woman and a leader, rooted in the belief that effective leadership flows from the identity and integrity of the individual. The theme for our spring retreat is Transitions.
Some transitions are moments you can pinpoint, while others may occur slowly over time. Many transitions—becoming a parent, approaching retirement, diving into a new career path or inspiration—can be exciting, while others—losing a loved one, aging, a shift in political climate, a change in marital status—can take an emotional toll.
Is your life in a transitional time that has you contemplating your next steps?
Are you seeking to live your life more fully in creativity, purpose and authenticity?
Do you long for change and need support and time to contemplate your goals, passions and future pursuits?
This experiential retreat offers the opportunity to:
- Identify the stepping stones that have led you to where you are
- Explore your current or upcoming transitions
- Re-discover your personal gifts and take future guidance from them
- Consider your creative edges and horizons through experiential learning, including reflection, dialogue, art and movement
- Engage with others holding similar questions for their lives, listening deeply and sharing our stories
Participants often mention the level of support found in Courage to Lead retreats as an important factor in the ways in which they are able to bring a new level of insight and energy to their work. Courage to Lead is designed to help leaders move beyond the "what" and "how" questions of leadership, to the "who" questions of meaning and purpose, of calling, of the relationship of inner life and outer work. We invite you to join us in this opportunity to pause and disconnect from technology and the usual pace of your life in leadership.

First Beauty Pageant: Tips for Kids
toddler beauty pageants - baby beauty pageants
If your little diva is itching to be in toddler beauty pageants, there are many things you need to consider before filling out that entry form and sending in the entry fee. Glitz pageants - even small local ones - are often highly competitive. National winners sometimes use local pageants as practice sessions. Also, toddler beauty pageants - or any other type of pageant - are not cheap when you include everything you'll need in order to be competitive.
You might even want to start earlier than when your child becomes a toddler. Baby beauty pageants are popular, and entering a baby is a lot less stress on the parents, time wise and money wise. With baby beauty pageants, you won't have to go through the bother and the expense of things like tanning, makeup sessions, modeling, flippers, or intricate pageant hair-dos.
Think of your first pageant as a trial run. You'll get an idea of whether or not your daughter still wants to do beauty pageants after she's actually experienced one. You could luck up and actually win your first pageant, but the odds are not on your side, especially if you're competing against seasoned girls.
Before your little girl's first beauty pageant, build up the excitement. Play up the fun. She doesn't even need to understand that she's actually competing against others. You don't want to put any pressure on her. The main thing you want her to do is to have a good time.
For small children in toddler beauty pageants, stage personality is very important. If the judges see that she's having fun, she'll get a higher score. Let her be a little silly on stage if she wants. Some natural silliness is better than a stiff, robotic performance. I've seen personality beat natural beauty and gorgeous dresses!
There's usually a lot of wait time backstage, so be sure to take things to entertain your little girl. Story books, hand-held video games, and coloring books and crayons are all good ideas. DO NOT take markers. She'll end up with marks on her hands and arms.
Rent or borrow a dress for your first pageant. There's no need to plop down $1,000 or so for a drop-dead dress until you know that beauty pageants are something you and your daughter want to continue doing. If you don't want to rent a dress, purchase one of the non-glitz pageant dresses for sale on ebay and stone it yourself. We did this for our first pageant, and we not only won prettiest dress, we also won the pageant - over numerous seasoned girls! I have a link below to my article on stoning a dress, along with some great deals on Swarovski stones you'll need.
For shoes, you'll need plain white Mary Janes with a matte finish - not shiny patent leather. You'll need white socks with a couple of layers of lace, but don't get the ones that have numerous lacy layers. You don't want your DD (darling daughter) to end up looking like a poodle. You might want to add just a FEW small Swarovski stones to the socks.
For hair, you can use an updo or have her wear it long. Most of all, her hair must look neat. The can of hairspray is your friend! If you decide on an updo, tease the top a little and have a strand of hair framing her face. If her hair is fairly short, pull it up to her crown and secure it with a rubber band. Around the ponytail, place one of those scrunchies with curls. These are available at wig supply stores for just a few bucks - a lot cheaper than a real wiglet, and they'll be fine for a first pageant. If your DD wears her hair down, pull it back from her face. You can curl it into ringlets, or simply turn the ends under. No matter which style you use, you'll need to add a hairbow that matches the dress. Don't go overboard with the bow. You don't want it to distract the judges from looking at your DD's face, but you do want to add a few Swaroski stones to the bow.
Do not put her dress on her until almost the last minute. There are just too many things that can happen. She'll need a button-down shirt to wear backstage so it won't have to go over her head and mess up her hair. Just before she walks out on stage, "fluff up" the skirt portion of her dress and look for any dangling strings.
If you're in a lineup for the prettiest smile optional, there's a trick I used that very often worked. Kneel directly behind your daughter and whisper something funny to her. Lightly tickle the back of her neck, too. She'll likely respond with a full natural smile that the judges will love.
Having a partner in the audience is a good strategy, also. Have him or her sit directly behind the judges, several rows back, holding up a hand puppet. This will get your DD to look in the direction of the judges and will help elicit a natural smile.
For a first pageant, walk out on stage with your little girl. You'll probably lose points if she's over four or five, but that doesn't matter. Remember, you're not really trying to win this one. You're just testing the waters.
Most beauty pageants give a small trophy or some other token just for participation. If your DD doesn't win one of the big trophies or crowns, make a fuss over her participation award. Display it proudly in her room. This will give her a feeling of accomplishment and will add a boost to her confidence.

- How to Stone a Dress
Everyone involved with glitz beauty pageants understands the importance of adding bling to a girl's dress. The rhinestones catch the stage lights and make the dress sparkle. They help catch the judges'...
I believe that this type of "competition" is detrimental in more ways than one. It sends out a message that beauty is more important than other more subtil and less visible qualities.
It sets unrealistic standards for most girls and creates a sense of feeling inadequat, unless "you are pritty, slim, cute and have the money to get the right dress".
I also believe it is more of a reward for parents than for the little ones that are being druged from place to place.
The absolute last thing in the world that I would like for my adorable grandaughter (that everybody says looks like a movie star) is to have her compete in beauty pageant or do commercials on tv (got plenty of offers since I work in a related business that puts me in contact with the movie industry)
Dear habee,
My comments are by no means directed at your personal experience; they are the result of my experience with people involved at different levels in such activities (from competitors to organizers).
I believe there are exceptions to any rules and I do believe that some pageants may be better than others (as the ones you are taking your little girls to).
However, my general feeling remains that all of them put the emphasis on an ephemeral natural gift (call it a blessing) rather than long lasting qualities developed in time.
Even when pageants take into consideration other parameters (as the ones you mention), they are still primarily based on looks and reinforce the one dimensional characteristic that in most cases becomes limiting in terms of further development. (Sarah Palin is a good example of great potential never developed)
In my opinion, judging a person by their look sends the wrong message to the rest of the girls that become obsessed with appearances and put themselves through unreasonable torture (weight lost, plastic surgery, etc).
The adult beauty pageant competition is in effect a parade of "who is who" in the world of plastic surgeons and all competitors look more or less the same (which may be very different for little girls that compete on their own and without intervention from plastic surgery)
As long as your little adorable ones are enjoying the experience and you feel it contributes to their future development as well adjusted adults, by all means help them achieve their dreams.
I am so glad to hear some first heand experience about possitive beauty pageants. I can tell Lexi is sweet and graticous and for her to want to share the joy and reward of winning with friends is exceptional and generous and mature and wanderful.
I also like the idea of fundrsising for charitable cases and it gives new and valuble mening to the competission as it teaches the little ones compation and understanding.
That is a totally different ball game and I can see real value there.
The best of luck to them all and keep us posted
Hi habee that was a great hub on a most controversial topic. It was nice to read on a more natural fun type of pageant it certainly takes the stigma away from what most people see them as.
Hi Habee! I'm so glad to read about the "other side" of pageants. I don't know much about them, and I guess the only thing I've ever really seen of pageants was on the show Toddlers & Tiaras and it made me want to vomit! So glad to hear there are pageants that judge on more than beauty and that not all pageant moms are nut-cases! Great Hub :)
Hello Habee, I have a couple of questions for you and I would love to get the answers from someone who knows their stuff and doesn't go overboard with the craziness of being to aggressive with these pageants. I have been making Glitz dresses for friends here and there for about the last six months or so. I have one little girl and she is my world! She's 4 years old and has a personality that you wouldn't believe! She's absolutely beautiful to me but,of course she's my daughter and I'm gonna say that right! LOL! Although, she's not fat she is a little on the chunky side and tall for her age. She's not a tiny thing like the little kids I've seen compete in her age division. She is a size 6x and wears a size one shoe. But, her face is to die for she ( of course, I'm very lucky she has her father's looks)! She has beautiful blue eyes, beautiful hair, and a beautiful smile! I would love to put her into one of these pageants, not because I would be forcing her but, because I know it would be right up her alley! I make childrens clothing and I do embroidery. So, you can imagine how much I make her clothes. Every time she puts on one of these outfits it's like the model comes to life and she constantly looks at herself in the mirror, which is vain I know but, it's like she can't help herself! My husband and I laugh at her constantly! With all of that aside, I was wondering how I would go about finding these pageants and how i would go about teaching her how to walk on stage. I live in Aiken, South Carolina and I wouldn't even know where to look for these types of pageants. The local pageants to me are completely and totally politics! These are the pageants that I make the glitz dresses for. About two years ago when Emma my little girl was two I entered her into one of these pageants! Just for fun of course! This was suppose to be a very natural pageant, the entry form stated Sunday dresses for beauty, natural hair and make-up. So, that's what we went with. Now being a mother who sews and is crafty, I added a couple of things to it of course. I mean my sewing is different and I like different looking clothing for children.I use most often wild colors and patterned fabrics. But, I followed the rules completely. Well, the pageant was held Emma did wonderful to me of course with not ever being in anything like that before. But, most of the girls in her category had Glitz dresses and glitz photogenic pictures, etc..... Guess who won? The girls that were dressed like that "Glitzy". I was confused of course until I was told later that all the girls who when, win it every year because they are in the inner circle.Being good friends with the director, judges, and so on. I was completely heart-broken win she didn't place and that wasn't because I am a bad sport at all. But, Emma saw what the other girls got and she asked and asked me why she didn't get the special trophy and crown. That's what breaks your heart into pieces.I felt awful for doing that to her and I didn't want to subject her to that anymore! So, I haven't put her in another since. I have completely thought since then that all of these pageants are rigged!But, now Emma is seeing these beautiful dresses and hearing about the pageants and wants to do them. Can you please elaborate a little more on these types of pageants and how to weave out the political ones. Thanks a lot Habee! I appreciate you taking the time to read my post! Sincerely, emmysmommie05
wow that is helpful...especially for my first pageant
TY Habee for your words it is nice to know I am not alone. I hate the pageants they show on tv because it portrays every pageant mom out there as a monster who won't let her children be children. When that is not the case. I have no boys and 3 pageant girls. They go around telling people they are tom boys, because they ride four wheelers, run barefooted and go fishing, but they also love pageants, barbies, t-ball, cheerleading, and numerouse other activities. I love it when people see my facebook pictures of my girls, because in one you will see them with mud all over them with smiles are there faces, then you click to the next album and see 3 little princess. We also, dress natural no fake anything and no short dresses. We love them! Thank-you for speaking up and letting people know about us NATURAL pageant moms that go to pageants that is mainly judged on talent and interview.
This has a really negative connotation from me.I saw this reality show on TV with kids being forced by their mom to join beauty pageants just because this was the latter's dream and that she was not able to fulfill this. It was really a sight of frustration for me.
my little girl just won so happy eidn is so happy
My daughters and I have been watching Glitz pageants on TV for a while and she has decided she wants to participate in one. Only problem is all the glitz pageant shows we are exposed to focus on the younger girls under the age of 10. My daughter is 13. We have learned some little tips from watching the shows on what we need in general for her to compete and how to pay less but still be at the same level as other girls. However, I am not really certain on what they are looking for for 13 year olds and how to dress her or train her. Is there any difference in how girls should dress or train as a 13 year old in a glitz pageant compared to younger girls?
Thank you Habee for all the information. My 10year old daughter wants to be in a pageant and I have gone online and found a smi-glitz/natural pageant in my area where everyone walks away with a crown. The problem I am facing is I have no idea how she is suposse to walk or how her hair should be done, ect. Can you point me in the direction of any website that may be able to offer some tips on how to walk?
i would like to join a pagent what could i do to build my confidents up?
Habe, I'm thirteen and would like to join a pageant, how do I make that wish happen??
Thank you for the tips. To me this is no different than boys in sports. Some take to the extreme.
I've only done two pageants and i've done really well,and I want to do another one, but my Daddy has cancer and we don't have enough money to do another one yet. How can we get more money?
cute! If you really want it. Go for it! :)
Habee, i think this is good tip coming from you. I believe joining a pageant can help anyone to increase self confidence and be a team player. :)
I'm 13 and I really want to get into pagents. I am a preformer, I sing and I have preformed in plays. But my parents don't really like the idea of pagents, they think they are a waste of time and a huge waste of money. I already know that I would need to get a job to help with money How can I convince them to let me enter one? Also, I can't seem to find any small pageants in my area to enter. I live in Red Deer Alberta Canada, and incase you don't know, that isn't in a state
Alright, thanks. I haven't gotten to talk to my parents about it yet, but I did decide I would want to do a natural beauty pageant because that would be alot cheaper. And I decided I would want to start looking for one in May, after I go on my school trip to Quebec. I still can't find a small pageant in my area yet though
Hi. Your article is helpful :) I have a 15 month old girl. I want to enter her in a natural pageant called Sunburst. Are you familiar with it? Any thoughts? Also I was wondering, is there a certain color that judges go for? Het dress is white. But I would love a turquoise one. And what do you suggest for really short hair. She's only 15 months so there's not much to work with and she likes to pull hats off. Sometimes bows. The alligator clip kind is the ones I have.
I had asked you a question a couple of days ago. I was wondering did it go through? sometimes my phone doesn't work properly
Thanks :) I'm having a hard time finding sponsors. I'm not a regular at any stores. What do you think I should do? I thought about maybe real estate agents??
awesome stuff you have here. thanks for the idea
hi habee, i am 13 and did one natural pageant. i didn't win but i got congeniality and model:-) i asked my mom if i could do another and she said yes, so we entered. it is in a few months but my mom thinks it is natural; but it is glitz. i will pay for everything since i got allot of money for my birthday. i dont want to tell her because she said she isn't a real fan of pageants. what do i do?
does anyone know where to rent a glitz pageant dress for a 4/5 yr old? i think buying a 1200 dress outright is ridiculous! i have my daughter in natural pageants, and the last thing i wanna teach her from these pageants is that she "has" to have the most expensive things in life. thats not always true, and thats why we are looking to rent a dress. thanks for any help!
hi im 12 and i always watch todleers and tiaras ive decided to look for dresses but my mom thinls that they are way to expensive weve looked on ebay but theres none in the size of 10-12.do you no anywere i could get a glitz pageant dress for a size 10-12. were competing in the southern celeberty pageant.
I read your stoning a dress portion, do you not recommend the hotfix swarovski stones, that is what I have always used for my 3 year olds gymnastics leotards (shes been in gymnastics since 4 months old) and they seem to stay very very well even with all the running jumping tumbling and everything else she manages to do....... but is there a reason you do not recommend them in your article........
i compete in natural pageants in vancouver.i am 12 years old. i've only done one and i got 2nd runner up. im competing in another in April.i think pageants are great confidence boosters. i was really nervous my first time but when i got on stage i had a great time. so if you are thinking of entering your little girl i agree.
be a natural girl
Thanks,Informative.It will good for me.

Thank you for the very useful information. My daughter, now 3 1/2, has "Played dress up" in 2 county pageants. She has not placed, but has found more confidence. There is another pageant in less than a month. We have a dress and all our supplies needed. My question: What should we practice or work on for this pageant. It is still local and is not advertised as glitz or natural. It's to raise money for Relay for Life. Any advice would be wonderful.
Hi. I am looking for some advice for granddaughter who is 16 months old. She is a beautiful little girl but she is very fair, both skin and hair. My daughter has put her in several pageants but she really fades out up on stage. Being in a natural pageant is obviously tough on a fair child and getting makeup on her for a glitz pageant is worse. Any suggestions at this point? I am about to recommend to my daughter she postpone pageants for a few years for her features to darken. Thanks!
I am entering my 8 month old daughter in her first pageant which is also a theme pageant "Hot August Nights" in Reno NV it is advertised as a natural and Glitz pageant put on by Charmed Pageants out of california any suggestions for us it really would help as I am comepletely clueless she is doing beauty theme wear and outfit of choice
these are great tips these will be very useful with everything. and i cant wait to get started!
Hi I work really hard on my teeth. I am 12 an I personal think I do need a flipper. But that's just my opinon.
Plus I. Wanna do pageants SOOOO bad that every time I think about them I go am lock myself in the bathroom and practice my walk. If I tell anyone else I'm afriad they will tell me its stuiped. And say I don't have the skills for a glitz pageant
What kind of personality does a beauty pageant have? help

Very very nice and great information. Thanks
I find it hypocritical that women protest when a girl competes in a beauty pageant but have no issue with boyscompeting in something like football. Only the athletic boys can excel in sports. What about the poor boys who are fat or slow? Doesn't encouraging a boy to go out for sports teach him that his value is in how fast he can run rather than how smart he is?
Everybody has their gifts. There is nothing wrong with the pretty girls having their pageants.
Hi Habee my little girl is 7 and i really would like her to start do beauty pageant but i don't know were to start i live in the UK please help
Many Thanks Sadie x
Hello, I recently emailed you asking you a few questions about your personal opinion about documentaries as child pageants cover a lot of documentary stories nowadays. But just to remind you, my name is Bianca, I am currently studying Media as one of my subjects at Farnborough Sixth Form college in the UK. As one of my projects, I am doing a mini documentary on the views of people on child pageants and for my research I came across your article about whether children pageants are good or bad and a few others which interested me such as this one also. My questions are...
Do you think that documentaries are biased? Do you think that documentaries deliberately make the characters stereotypical?
Your experience and views on this subject matter would be so valuable and would love to hear back from you, with best wishes, Bianca Matthews
Quick question..my 5 year old will be in her first pageant this Saturday..it's a local state fair pageant...we bought a dress that is black..with grey and white polka dots..it has black sequins along the chest and straps..matching it with a silver hand band that has a big flower on it..her shoes are silver ballet type..is this too much black for a pageant? Do more people where color? and does the rule for white shoes go for the "sundays best" pageants?? ANY HELP FROM ANYONE WOULD BE AWESOME! thanks!
To Maggiesmom: personally I've never seen black in a pageant, but that doesn't mean your dd can't win. I'm guessing it's a natural pageant so they probably ask the kids to wear Sunday best. My dd has always worn pink or white and usually wins or is first runner up. My dd did her first pageant as a baby and won it. Then we continued to do a few here and there, all local prelims. She LOVES it now, maybe too much, we just bought a semi glitz dress that I am going to add stones to. But this year she has done two pageants, and this other girl keeps placing ahead of her. My dd doesn't care, she just likes pageants anyway but I care! lol I want to know why this other girl keeps placing ahead of my dd. what do the judges really look for, sometimes I think in the prelims they want everyone to win an optional so they get their entry fee paid to state. It doesn't seem fair. Any suggestions? Do you know how the pageants are scored? I always enter her in all the optionals.
great! didn't know that
I think pageants are good as long as the child wants to do them. I do not agree with all the make up and hair pieces, spray on tans, fake eyelashes, etc, however, to each her on. I plan to put my daughters in pageants, but I want to limit them to the natural pageants and want them to know winning is not everything, it is just fun. :) As long as they enjoy it, we will continue. If they do not, then we will stop. :) that is the plan anyway. LOL
I put my daughtor in pagents and she loves it but when she looses it she starts crying i just dont know what to do i try to say winning is not everything and she is not listaning to me
Hey im 14 and i have never been to a pegeant can i still get into one ?
hi i am a qeen of qeens you must no me i ame justins girl i love him to bits but we ot back to giller i love him
Thank you for your tips on pageants. My 2 yr old daughter & I are new to pageants. She has done 4 local pageants & one festival pageant which was her 1st on & he placed 4th out of 11 girls!! I was so proud! The problem I have is at two years old she actually loves to do pageants!! She loves to practice, cries to wear her glitz dress ALL the time & asks to do pageants all the time! I have never seen anything like it before! The local pageants she has been in have been mothers choice of outfit, so I put her in her glitz dress. It is hard to keep her off of the stage & she tries her hardest to get back on after her turn!! I hope this will change when she is a little older, because I can never watch the whole pageant due to chasing after her & keep her from crying because she wants to be onstage! She is ALL business when she does get on stage! She just turned two & I really don't even have to tell her what to do or hold her hand, she can now do go to the x's on her own. We just did a pageant & she got princess. I had several strangers say they could not believe she did not get queen! I will not say bad things about the little girls appearance, only that it seemed they mite have felt sorry for her?? I had several moms tell me that she should not be doing
local pageants that I should put her in national ones. Every pageant she has done she has been "pageant" from head to toe and the winners will have on an off the rack dress & hair fixed like I fix my dd fir church. These pageants have not been "natural". I can honestly be objective, if my dd doesn't win I can accept that, but it just stinks when another cuter child doesn't win either. I really don't know
how to get her into the national pageants, do you have any
Suggestions? I am writing this on my phone & am not able to go back & see what I have already written, sorry if I have repeated anything or something may not make much sense!
go about doing that, do you
have any suggestions for us?
good to know this stuff

Habbeeee pleeeez help !!!!!!
Extremely suitable fashions which shows the innocence and cuteness of children if they wear them.
Hi there, My daughters just participated in their first pageant. THEY LOVED IT!!!! They both won Princess awards, tiaras, and trophies!!!! I enjoyed it as well. We only do natural pageants. They are the only ones I approve of because I do not want my 5 year old looking like she is 15 lol. I do think the Glitz pageants are pretty but just not for me. I love your articles, they have helped me now that my girls have decided to do another. Thank you!
Fatima, you know even if you can't do the cutsy moves in the beauty part of the compitition you can still have fun modeling routines in other catagorys.
ok i need help.. i am thinking of putting my 4 yr old in her first pageant, its just a local fair pageant but i have questions about the dress. we found a real pretty turquise ankle length dress but i hear alot of talk that a 4yr old should be wearing short dresses? she is kind of on the short side and i am not sure how that would look, but i dont know if that is still the " rule of thumb" of if that was mainly done years ago, they look kind of old fashioned to me.. plus i am thinking of keeping her hair down and i am not planning on doing lots of makeup.. possibly some light eye shadow and lip gloss... this is my first pageant so i could use all the help i can get/..
i think pageants are for beautiful girls but all this fake stuff i just dont like it that much
I am 10 years old and I am African American!My friend Reagan and I are doing out first beauty pageant which will be glitz.We are buying glitz dresses from DHgate.com which are about 95 dollars each.Regan and I have different kind of hair because she is Caucasian and I am African-American!Should I wear a hair piece?Like a curly bun.Also,My dress will be yellow to compliment my skin color
Hi Shelly,My daughter has done servael pageants (and is still doing them) we love them!!!! I wanted to start my own pageant but had a few questions. How do you decide the pricing? if i wanted to do servael pageants a year (different themed) do i need to register each one with my state? How much money do i need to start a pageant local optionals supreme title maybe 20 contestants? Can they make checks payable to me or do i open an account just for the pageants? What is the best way to advertise the pageant? What is the best way to know how many contestants will be there (so each one gets a small crown) where do iget crowns from, where do i get judges from, where do i get a stage setup from. Please help!!!! thanks Amber
I also have a daughter (6 years old now) who has participated in multiple beauty pageants since she was 4. Her very first she won Queen over all, which is very rare. She has won scholarships and has learned new talents. She has grown self confidence and doesn't shy away from everyone anymore. Her father and I entered get into her first pageant because she wanted to try it out. Well I can say it had been so positive. I have not seen any pageants that were 'bad'. For that we are very fortunate. The girls that participate in the pageants with my daughter have so much natural talent that I have totally changed my way of thinking when it comes to pageants. The girls raise money for charities, volunteer their time and meet new people that become their friends. My daughter has had many positive gains from being a participant. I am so glad we allowed her to start. At the age of 5 she won her first scholarship and her talent was as simple as poetry recital from memory. She loves to read and incorporated that into her talent. I can agree with Habee, if you find the pageants that truly care about how to help a child grow into themselves, they are worth it! I hope this helps.
So glad I read this. I know nothing about this kind of thing but my 4 yr. Old is a natural. She loves being prissy playibg dress up and being the center of attention. I am more about her having fun than winning anything. I also am more fpr natural no makeup or any of that.
So I am not sure if you are still responding to new post but what are some things to look for to find more natural pageants. I have 3 girls 12, 9, and 2 1/2. My 9 yr old started asking about entering pageants and I have been extremely hesitant because although I believe she is absolutely adorable she has alopecia and deals daily at school with one kid or another commenting on her bald spots or lack of hair. How harshly do judges look at the hair styles. She has worn wigs before but doesn't really like them and wants to show how proud and girly she is even with just part of her hair. I as a protective mom don't want her to be hurt for trying something new.

PM: We recorded many achievements in first three months
Malaysia has recorded many achievements to be proud of in the first three months of this year (Q1) and has also received positive reports in local and international media, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak said.
Among the positive news which grabbed the front pages in many of newspapers and magazines, Najib said, included Malaysia being among the 10 most prolifically expanding economies in the world, as reported in The Economist.
"PriceWaterhouse Coopers also reported that Malaysia is expected to earn the 25th highest Gross Domestic Product growth by 2030 while International Living Magazine reported that the Malaysian Health Service is the third best in the world," he said in his latest posting in his blog, najibrazak.com titled 'Malaysia in the Eyes of the World'.
Other news topics Najib shared in his post was that Universiti Malaya was among the 100 Best Universities in Asia in 2017, which was carried by Bernama; the fourth quarter growth (in 2016) of the Malaysian economy exceeded expectations (Berita Harian); Bank Negara's new move expected to boost ringgit (New Straits Times) and 11 subjects in local universities listed as the top 50 in the world (New Straits Times).
'Best country for investments'
Najib said US News & World Report also reported that Malaysia was the best country for investments in 2017.
"Thank God, three months since we entered the 2017 new year, Malaysia has progressed step-by-step in every aspect of national development.
"During the period too, many good and positive news on Malaysia were highlighted in newspapers and magazines, be they local or international," he said.
But, unfortunately, Najib said, there were some among the people of Malaysia, especially the opposition, who opted not to see or pretended not to see all the good news only because the good news were contrary to their narratives that Malaysia was a failed nation.
"This not only shows how lowly the opposition views the capability of the country and its people, but also shows its low self-esteem as Malaysians. Where is your love for my country?" he said.
Najib said all these showed that Malaysia's situation, whether in the eyes of the locals or the world, is not as bad as trumpeted by the opposition.
So many positive matters that the people of Malaysia could be proud of had been achieved in this country, whether in terms of economy, education and many more, he said.
"The success of my country is the success of all the people, and indeed, we should be proud about it.
"Taking pride in my country, Malaysia," Najib said.

Keep Malaysiakini independent!
Malaysiakini will be 18 this year. That we've survived this long is because of you.
Your support matters. A lot. Especially those who pay RM150 annually, RM288 biennially or RM388 triennially to keep Malaysiakini independent from government/opposition influence and corporate interests. Advertising alone will not keep Malaysiakini afloat.
Together, we've gone far. We've covered three prime ministers, four general elections, five Bersih rallies, and countless scandals. But the journey continues.
Help us deliver news and views that matter to Malaysians. Help us make a difference for Malaysia.

Motto: "The less strings you have, the stronger you are."
Quotes: "I am one of few beings in the universe who cannot be controlled by fate or any so called 'higher power'. I intend to use my blank future to do what I feel is right for me."
"I'm not your average telepath, Samuel. I am a level three telepath, the highest level a telepath can be. You cannot hide anything from me. If I wanted to invade your mind, I'd have done it already. But, I respect your privacy too much Samuel. Remember, if you ever change your mind, my offer still stands. You could join me, but if you truly don't want to, that's a shame."
"When I was younger I was living in an asylum where I was put by my parents due to me not being able to control my powers. They did experiments on me, left me in isolation for days on end, tried to turn me into a weapon. Little did they know I'd been weaponizing myself for years. So when the time came... they were my first victims."
Origin: Nathan was a powerful telepath from birth, and utilized his abilities well, but not usually for the right reasons. His parents put him in an asylum when he turned 13, due to his powers having grown out of control when he hit puberty. There he learned to control his powers further through sheer focus and eventually killed all the staff of the asylum and escaping. He was also born with an alternate ability, resistence to most abilities that are used by very powerful meta-humans or 'higher beings' like Nolan Dallas. Upon discovering this, he decided to use his powers for whatever he wanted, because he thought no one could stop him.
Currently: Nathan has currently been more withdrawn than usual in the public eye, perhaps due to a new organization he's been working with. He's also formed a group of Meta-Human terrorists known as "The Evolutionaries", who's goal is to make Meta-Humans the leading group in the world, as opposed to normal humans.

IGas declares preliminary results from the drilling of the Ellesmere Port exploration well.
The well was spudded on 15 November 2014 and, due in part to lessons learned on the previous wells, the well total depth (TD) was reached ahead of schedule on 12 December 2014.
The well encountered a thick section of the Coal Measure interval as well as a shale sequence before penetrating the key Dinantian limestone geophysical marker. The Coal Measure interval was approximately 800 feet thick and contained several seams.
A very significant shale section of approximately 1,400 feet was also drilled. Preliminary analysis suggests both the Sabden Shale and Bowland Shales have been encountered and cores have been acquired across these intervals. Significant gas indications were observed across the shale section.
The well, including the shale section, is being logged and the logs, together with the cores, will be sent away for further detailed analysis.

The Gruvians were the native sentients of the planet Gruvia in the Expansion Region.
Biology and appearanceEdit
Gruvians were tall, green, mound-shaped beings who shuffled along without visible legs or feet. They had two mouths, eight eye stalks, and four thin arms with tridactyl hands. Two well-known Gruvians were Benja and Olall Da'aapp, two tourists who were often seen at the Kuat Passenger Port during the Imperial era. Gruvians were known for their alcoholic beverage, Gruvian Tovash.

Does Density Pay?
Newberg's colleague is a good person to answer that question: He is David Frank, the new director of transit oriented development for the city of Minneapolis. Frank concludes that, using a real-world example in Minneapolis, yes:
"...a 100-unit apartment project adds .04% to the city's tax collections, reducing the tax burden on the rest of us. That may seem like a small number, but add several hundred units at each of the light rail station areas and in other popular locations like downtown and uptown, and suddenly the city is bringing in significantly more revenue."

My Daughter - Poem by Joseph T. Renaldi
I think of you as my petite daughter
As the days go rapidly by.
I remember the gracious things about you
And utter an appreciative sigh.
It didn't seem so long ago
When you were a lovely and curious child.
I can't help wondering about your
Disposition that was so keen and mild.
Now you have matured and grown
To be an admirable woman thyself,
And there sits fond memories of you
In picture frames on the old, warped shelf.
It's though I'm looking at them
Through a kaleidoscope at your past,
But find it's just your present that is
Passing by so regretfully fast.
You are still loveable and understanding,
And I thank you for all the lovely dreams,
For happiness now abounds in my heart
Reliving the memories of the past - it seems.

Legendary synthpop duo Erasure returned with their 17th studio album this year and are showing no signs of slowing down as they continue to release compelling music year after year. Really anything synthpop god Vince Clarke does is worthy of notice and Andy Bell's voice is as gorgeous and emotive as always.
Latest Blog Posts
Jeff Beck once said of the Legendary Shack Shakers that they were "a cross between the Yard Birds and the Sex Pistols", which sounds just about right. Legendary Shack Shakers have always channeled the energy and rawness of punk into their rockabilly and psychobilly drenched music. It's an irresistible mixture. On their latest album, After You've Gone releasing August 25th via Last Chance Records, the band ratchets up the lo-fi elements while exploring the aftermath and pain of marital breakdown and divorce.
Concept albums are old news, concept identities are where it's at. Louise Chicoine is the agile voice behind the 'fictional diva' Banny Grove, an alter-ego constructed with guitarist/keyboardist Peter Nichols. The LA-based duo originally hail from Vermont, and while those roots make it tempting to look for any traces of a Phish-y sense of humor, their new Cars in Control EP is much more a product of, and response to, Southern California's bright sprawling artifice.
Banny Grove debuted last year with an album that asked Who Is She?, but Cars in Control is more inclined to keep offering curious clues than answer such questions. The title track goes after "the oil man" with spare synthpop abstraction. "Baby" rides an unblinking combination of plucked harp and post-ironic autotune. "Trash Truck", which is "sung from the optimistic perspective of a child living underground when the surface world is an unseen desert of garbage", winds strands of Christmas lights around the Cure's "Kyoto Song". The EP is out August 8th via Nicey Music.
Written, produced, and performed inside of a garden shed studio, Brad Peterson's upcoming Ellipsis Album is perhaps the purest definition of "indie record" imaginable. On the psychedelic, ebullient folk-rock of his latest single, "What the Open Heart Allows", Peterson develops a dreamy landscape by deftly fusing synthetic instruments with organic ones. As a synth orchestra pervades the track, banjo and drums are included to create a compelling world all the singer-songwriter's own.
Paul Carr: This is a big, bold statement of intent from Arcade Fire. There is a clear and admirable desire for the band not to spend too long in the same space and to mine their DNA to reinvigorate themselves. The big synths and angular new wave of early '80s the Cure sound fresh and like nothing the band has done before. Despite the retro stylings, the subject matter is refreshingly current as the group deal with the quest for personal validation from family, friends, and strangers, the anxieties of negative body image and the relentless pursuit of fame at the expense of everything else. The band cleverly offer a metaphorical panacea for all of these ills in the form of Creature comfort. Something to numb the pain. This is a song that leaves you anything but anesthetized. [9/10]
