SEBI moots zero fee demat account “Basic Services Demat Account” (BSDA).

To reduce cost of maintaining securities in demat accounts for retail investors, SEBI has decided to introduce a “Basic Services Demat Account” (BSDA).

All depository participants have to make available a BSDA with limited services, said SEBI.

Individuals opting for BSDA are eligible for one demat account across all depositories where they are the sole or the first holder.

The maximum value of securities in a BSDA should not exceed Rs 2 lakh and at any point of time. Annual maintenance charges would not be levied for value of securities held in a BSDA up to Rs 50,000. Anything above Rs 50,000 and up to Rs 2 lakh would attract annual maintenance charges of Rs 100.

All beneficial owners for BSDA, have to register their mobile number for availing themselves the SMS alert facility for debit transactions. They will be issued at least two delivery instruction slips (DIS) at the time of account opening.

The BSDA value would be determined everyday according to the daily closing price of securities or daily closing NAV.

If the value of the holding in the BSDA exceeds the prescribed criteria as on a particular date, charges applicable to a normal DP account would apply from that date.

Quarterly transaction statement would be sent to the beneficial owner only if the demat account holder has transacted. Similarly holding statements would be sent once in a year to beneficial owners according to their option — in physical or electronic format. While electronic statements would be free of charge, additional physical statements would cost investors Rs 25 each.

Accounts with zero balance and credit balance with nil transactions shall receive only one physical holding statement.

Transaction statements shall not be provided for accounts that becomes zero balance or remains zero balance during the year.

The circular comes into effect from October 1.

Speaking Skills-pubblics by silver tongued orator.

The public speaking skill is mainly inspired by  Skills. Every Man Should notice it,the exortic speakers were called as Silver tonged orators.The man who was called is Mr Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, The silver tongued orator.The main key skills are:-

Research a topic – Good speakers stick to what they know.
Focus – Help your audience grasp your message by focusing on your message. Stories, humour, or other “sidebars” should connect to the core idea. Anything that doesn’t needs to be edited out.
Organise ideas logically – A well-organised presentation can be absorbed with minimal mental strain. Bridging is key.
Employ quotations, facts, and statistics – Don’t include these for the sake of including them, but do use them appropriately to complement your ideas.
Master metaphors – Metaphors enhance the understandability of the message in a way that direct language often can not.
Narrate a story – Everyone loves a story. Points wrapped up in a story are more memorable, too!
Start strong and close stronger – The body of your presentation should be strong too, but your audience will remember your first and last words (if, indeed, they remember anything at all).
Incorporate humour – Knowing when to use humour is essential. So is developing the comedic timing to deliver it with greatest effect.
Vary vocal pace, tone, and volume – A monotone voice is like fingernails on the chalkboard.
Punctuate words with gestures – Gestures should complement your words in harmony. Tell them how big the fish was, and show them with your arms.
Utilise 3-dimensional space – Chaining yourself to the lectern limits the energy and passion you can exhibit. Lose the notes, and lose the chain.
Complement words with visual aids – Visual aids should aid the message; they should not be the message. Read slide:eulogy or the Presentation Zen book and adopt the techniques.
Analise the audience – Deliver the message they want (or need) to hear.
Connect with the audience – Eye contact is only the first step. Aim to have the audience conclude “This speaker is just like me!” The sooner, the better.
Interact with the audience – Ask questions (and care about the answers). Solicit volunteers. Make your presentation a dialogue.
Conduct a Q&A session – Not every speaking opportunity affords a Q&A session, but understand how to lead one productively. Use the Q&A to solidify the impression that you are an expert, not (just) a speaker.
Lead a discussion – Again, not every speaking opportunity affords time for a discussion, but know how to engage the audience productively.
Obey time constraints – Maybe you have 2 minutes. Maybe you have 45. Either way, customise your presentation to fit the time allowed, and respect your audience by not going over time.
Craft an introduction – Set the context and make sure the audience is ready to go, whether the introduction is for you or for someone else.
Exhibit confidence and poise – These qualities are sometimes difficult for a speaker to attain, but easy for an audience to sense.
Handle unexpected issues smoothly – Maybe the lights will go out. Maybe the projector is dead. Have a plan to handle every situation.
Be coherent when speaking off the cuff – Impromptu speaking (before, after, or during a presentation) leaves a lasting impression too. Doing it well tells the audience that you are personable, and that you are an expert who knows their stuff beyond the slides and prepared speech.
Seek and utilise feedback – Understand that no presentation or presenter (yes, even you!) is perfect. Aim for continuous improvement, and understand that the best way to improve is to solicit candid feedback from as many people as you can.
Listen critically and analyse other speakers – Study the strengths and weakness of other speakers.
Act and speak ethically – Since public speaking fears are so common, realise the tremendous power of influence that you hold. Use this power responsibly.

Fancy dress ideas for pre-schoolers.

Each and every school organizes various co-curricular activities for students. These activities help the children to open up and be participative. Co-curricular activities like dance competition, singing competition, fancy dress etc help the children to know their hidden talents as well as increase their self confidence.
      Many schools start such competitions during the preschool only such that the child gets the maximum exposure and benefit. Children these days are undoubtedly more advanced and efficient in every way. Out of all the activities fancy dress competitions give the children a chance to portray their favourite characters or something that has impressed them that they want to share it with everyone. Parents however find it a little difficult to come up with different themes and ideas for such competitions.
       Children love to dream and fancy dress competitions are a good way to make their dream come true for some time. They can just be anything that they have ever wished to become. Every child wishes to participate in the fancy  dress competition and look different and better than others. They can take help from the following ideas.
FOR BOYS:-                 
Dress them up like their favourite character from nursery rhymes or stories:

You can dress your child like his favourite character from any of the stories or poems that he has studied. They can dress up like the prince who saved snow-white or Humpty dumpty as it would be very innovative and comical as well.

Choose characters from Comic books:
Almost every boy dreamt to become a superman, Spiderman or ironman has at some point in his life. You can dress your child like any of these characters and let their dream come true of conquering the world for some time.

Get Inspired from Gods and Goddess:

If your child has faith in God or you want your child to know more about mythology then nothing can be better than dressing him up like a mythological heroes. No one can play these roles better as with the help of their innocence small children can pull off these roles brilliantly.

Animals and Birds:
Your child can get inspired by the endangered animals and play their character. They can take up issues like tigers, lions, and deer etc which due to uncontrollable hunting have become endangered. Seeing children taking up such issues can provoke the adults too.
Make him a speaking tree:
Another innovative idea would be to dress your child like a tree. Let the tree speak and ask for help from everyone. Taking up environment concerning issues would make your child aware of such things and it would impress and inspire others too.
FOR GIRLS:-
Fancy dress competitions are all about fun and dressing your child in a character of what he/she aspires to become or find amusing. There are many ideas as well to dress your little sylph like a character or entity she would love to imitate.
Vegetable or Fruit:

Dressing your little girl in a vegetable or fruit attire is quite simple and quick way to dress your child. You can dress her up like a mushroom, potato, tomato etc. Much more than the child’s effort the mother needs to add a little of their own creative element in this. You can even attach a head stalk in a cap in case you dress her like a brinjal, chilli etc. it would add much more colour to the costume. Make her learn and short and simple rhyme.
Renowned Characters:

 Well if you like your daughter to become like one of those famous ladies that people look up to then there is still time for her to actually be like one of them but you can still fulfil your desires by dressing her up that way.
Her Ambition:
The main idea behind the concept of fancy dress is to let your child get into the shoes that depicts her personality. If your girl wants to be a doctor, news reporter, nurse, engineer, model, choreographer, air-hostess dress then dress her that way. Not only will she look joyful but will be able to carry that dress confidently.
Dancer or Fairy:
Women are women! How can we ever deprive her of some innate features like dressing up, being fashionable, wearing designer dresses and accessories? Well if your daughter possesses any of these characteristics, and then allow her to follow what she loves doing from her heart. You dress her up like an angel in which she finds herself beautiful.
Spreading Awareness:
Environment degradation is a point of concern for both government and people. You can also give in a bit through your daughter. Make her look like a “leafless tree”, a “dustbin” with a caption of “use me”, a “crying earth” etc. You can even spread awareness with the help of a fun element in it.
I Am the Man:
 There’s no obligation to give your girl a typical feminine look. If she wants to dress up like one of those male characters then why not? You can improvise that male look and give a feminine touch in that like a lady superman or batman, or a lady cricketer etc.
Thus by using any of the above stated ideas you can dress your child in such a way that make him stand different from others. We do not assure you a first prize on these characters but we definitely assure you that your child will win hearts and appreciation of everyone present in the event.
Dear friends if you have any other ideas kindly leave it in comment box and also if you like this take a moment to share with your friends circles.

Google home page on India's Independence Day.

India's national bird, the peacock, adorns the Google home page on India's Independence Day. The peacock curves its neck backwards to form the 'G' of the Google logo. The other letters of the Google logo appear in ornate styling behind the peacock's plume.
Google has been commemorating India's Independence Day with a doodle on its home page since 2003. Most of the Google doodles had the Indian national flag as the inspiration. But the 2011 and 2012 doodles used other national symbols in place of the Tricolour. Last year a sketch of Delhi's Red Fort took guard on the Google home page on 15th August.We Indias were very greatful for google.  
Three other countries share August 15 as their Independence Day - Bahrain, South Korea and Republic of the Congo. Google has posted an Independence Day doodle on its South Korean home page.

Google playable doodle features football today:

 

 

google is back to happy with its playable doodles.

The Google doodle, it's fourth consecutive game doodle for the London Olympics 2012, on Friday. The doodle this time features soccer or football - the most popular sport of the world.

This is Google's 15th consecutive Olympics doodle.

The doodle features a shooter and a goalkeeper. The user dons the role of a goalkeeper.

His job is to simply ensure that shots - for the goal - are saved. And in order to do that you have the left and right arrow keys and the space bar on your keyboard. The left and right keys will ensure your sideways movements (the goalkeeper) while the space bar allows you to jump.

The game is over if you let three shots in - or rather there are three goals.

Alternatively, you can use the mouse to play the game too. Left and right clicks make the goalie jump while moving the cursor to the right or left makes him move in the corresponding way.

If you consider yourself that fast, try experimenting by using both the keyboard and mouse controls to save goals.

Click on the play button first to ensure that the game begins and if you want, flaunt the score on the social networking platforms.

Best Wishes for sucess
