Pageants A pageant can refer to a Beauty Contest or to a procession of people in costume. Pageant winners are determined by a panel of judges who give each participant a score. Pageants have different categories depending on the competition. Some pageants ask to display talents like singing and dancing, while others are strictly fashion and runway based. Many aspiring models also compete in pageants. Pageants are a great way to gain exposure and often win scholarships for education. Go to pageant to get pageant schedules in your area.
Play auditions Play auditions refers to auditions for theatre. Theatre is that branch of the performing arts concerned with acting out stories in front of an audience using combinations of speech, gesture, music, dance, sound and spectacle. When actors audition for a theatre production, often they will perform monologues from plays other than the play they're auditioning for. Occasionally, the director of the production will ask an actor to prepare material from the show the will be performing in. To get more information on theatre auditions, go to Theatre Auditions.
Plus size model A plus size model is a person whose occupation is to display products through television, print, fashion shows and/or ad campaigns. Companies hire models to advertise their products. There are two basic types of plus size models: Fashion and Print. For each, the visual requirements vary slightly. A good way to determine what your look may be, and if you are suited to go out for these jobs, is to look at publications, catalogues and print ads. To learn more about what it takes to become a plus size model, visit models to find out everything you need to know.
Plus size model Plus size model is the general term used to describe female fashion models who wear dress size 12 or higher (in North American sizing). Plus size models who acquire mass-media celebrity status are sometimes referred to as "plus-size supermodels." Emma (Melissa) Aronson was the first model over a size 12 to achieve household recognition in the United States. Some people view the rise of plus-size modeling as a revival of the voluptuous Classical ideal of feminine beauty, as defined by sculptures such as the Venus de Medici and the Winged Victory of Sam Thrace--i.e., the aesthetic ideal that generally prevailed throughout Western history, until well into the twentieth century, when more androgynous standards began to emerge.

Green computing Green computing is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently. Typically, technological systems or computing products that incorporate green computing principles take into account the so-called triple bottom line of economic viability, social responsibility, and environmental impact. This differs somewhat from traditional or standard business practices that focus mainly on the economic viability of a computing solution. These focuses are similar to those of green chemistry; reduction of the use of hazardous materials such as lead at the manufacturing stage, maximized energy efficiency during the product's term of use, and recyclability or biodegradability of both a defunct product and of any factory waste.
A typical green computing solution attempts to address some or all of these factors by implementing environmentally friendly products in an efficient system. For example, an IT manager might purchase Electronic Products Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT)-approved hardware combined with a thin client solution. As compared to a traditional desktop PC configuration, such a configuration would probably reduce IT maintenance-related activities, extend the useful life of the hardware, and allow for responsible recycling of the equipment past its useful life. An open industry standard called Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) provides a standard programming interface that allows an operating system to directly control the power saving aspects of the hardware. This allows the system to automatically turn off components such as monitors and hard drives after set periods of inactivity. In addition, a system may hibernate, in which it turns off nearly all components, including the CPU and the system RAM, greatly reducing the system's electricity usage. To resume from this state, some components, such as the keyboard, network interface card, and USB ports may remain powered, to receive input from the user. ACPI itself is a successor to an earlier Intel-Microsoft standard called Advanced Power Management, which allows a computer's BIOS to control power management functions.
