Freelance Writers Vs Content Creators
Writers round the world , just wake up to grab the opportunity of lifetime , we are looking for writing with creativity , perfection , fame and continous work, just care to send a resume with some of specimen work at jobstorch@gmail.com
Often it is said that the Content is king , who has not said this so that it is not fact or one needs to check it whether really content rules the world of internet .
It can be understood as if domain name recognises a particular website or connotes with nature of website , in the same manner content expresses what is the purpose of a website.
Human being can identify a particular thing by various factors but search engine goes by the content and keywords being the heart of the content .
Often it is claimed that the keywords make the content and if content is unique it always acts as a double booster for a website.
Content is must for survival in the search engine and in order to sustain at higher places of the result uniqueness of content with proper keywords always do wonder.
Original and unique content studded with well researched keywords bring three things :
a) better search result
b) good page rank
c) better alexa ranking

Search Engines like Google, Yahoo, AOL, Alta Vista etc always care for unique content since people searching always go for better and informative sites .Hence, wikipedia and Google Knol are catching fancy.
The impact is same with social bookmarking sites, forums and you tube since today is the age of information and one if is better expressed , it will always have better recognition , identity and branding of any site .
So now , can we say that the content is king ?
In otherwords ,Content is something which means stuff and which expresses the aim,service and its nature which is must to be identified by any person in teh world of internet.

f) better result in search engine
g) brand awareness
h) brand creation
i) better alexa ranking
j) Search Engine Optimisation(SEO)

Patients Flocking to Asia for Low Cost, Quality Treatment
Improving medical infrastructure and low treatment cost is attracting foreign medical tourists to Asia, translating into a strong growth for the Asian medical tourism market.
a report on the Asian medical tourism industry – “Asian Medical Tourism Analysis (2008-2012)”- which says that Asia represents the world’s most potential medical tourism market. The region accounted for nearly 12.7% of the global market and generated US$ 3.4 Billion revenues in 2007. The market is anticipated to remain strong in future too, registering a CAGR growth of 17.6% during 2007-2012.
According to the report, the medical tourism market has been hitting it big due to improving healthcare infrastructure in the region. Countries, particularly India, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, are successfully meeting the demand for quality healthcare through world-class medical infrastructure and trained medical professionals, including tertiary hospital care. Most of the medical professionals in these countries are trained in world-class institutions abroad. Hence, hospitals provide foreign patients highly qualified, board-certified physicians, medical technicians, and top-tier nursing staff, together with highly personalized care. As a result, the success rate of complicated surgeries and patient satisfaction is very high.
Another important factor pushing up the medical tourism in the Asian countries is low cost, says the report. Treatment cost in the Asian countries is very low against the developed countries. For instance – it ranges from one half to one-fifth of the prices in the US and other developed countries. Moreover, in some cases, the treatment cost is as less as 80% of the cost abroad. However, it depends on the destination country and the type of procedure to be performed.
“Asian Medical Tourism Analysis (2008-2012)” comprehensively studies the Asian medical tourism market and provides past, current and future overview on the five major Asian medical tourism markets – India, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Philippines. It identifies vast differences between the various Asian tourism markets in terms of cost, infrastructure, patient perception, human resources, and level of government support.
The RNCOS study gives statistical data on the market size, tourist arrivals, infrastructure and accreditations on all the five countries, complemented with analytical profiles on these markets. It thoroughly studies the market and provides forecast on its various segments, including medical tourism market and medical tourist arrivals by country.

What Is Digital Television (DTV)
Digital TV or Direct TV(DTV) can be received in several different ways, each with its own features and suppliers. The service that you are able to receive may depend on whereabouts you live.
Here are the different ways you can receive DTV:
Cable
Digital Cable TV is supplied by your local cable company. You receive your DTV through cables in the ground via a set top box. Cable companies also offer a host of competitive broadband and telephone packages alongside their service. It will usually be cheaper to buy a package comprising all three services than to obtain them individually from different service providers.
Satellite
Digital Satellite TV is supplied by either Direct TV or Dish Network. Digital signals are sent and received by satellites meaning you need a mini-disc attached to your property in order to receive digital satellite TV through their set top box.
Antenna
Over the air DTV is received via your existing TV antenna. It can be received by one of two ways. If you have purchased a new television the last year, then your set is equipped to receive the broadcast DTV signals. If you have an older set and are not ready to purchase a new one, then you will need to install a set top converter box* to be able to receive the DTV signal.
On February 17, 2009 all of the Nations broadcast television stations will cease to transmit their current analog signals and only offer the DTV format. This means that on that date if you haven't upgraded to a new TV or installed a "Digital Converter Box*", you will receive nothing but static on your current local channels.
Cable and satellite subscribers who receive all their stations by their provider need not worry. Your cable or satellite provider will be responsible for keeping your local stations going. However, if you rely on an antenna for local reception then you will need to make a change.
DTV transition is not the end of the world. In fact, it will make your TV viewing much more enjoyable by offering crystal clear pictures and more channels.

Run for soldiers passes through Tennessee
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — A run from Fort Irwin, Calif., to Washington, D.C., will pass through Nashville today and Murfreesboro on Monday, its participants dedicated to remembering soldiers killed in the War on Terror.
About 50 runners stopped at Liberty Elementary School in Clarksville on Saturday, placing a flag at mile 2,952 on their trip to honor Staff Sgt. Brian L. Mintzlaff, 34, who died Dec. 18, 2006, in Iraq.
Mintzlaff's father-in-law, Jeff Range, rode his motorcycle from Dallas to be there.
"This means a lot, and you all are doing a great thing," Range said to the group of runners before they embarked on their short journey through Clarksville.
The Run for the Fallen began about six weeks ago and is crossing the nation — a total of 4,000 miles — before concluding at Arlington National Cemetery. Each mile of the trip is dedicated to remembering one fallen soldier from the war on terror with an American flag and small placard. Local groups — like the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment and the Clarksville Running Club on Saturday — join for short distances along the way.
At the Clarksville Jaycees Building, Janet Egnor, wife of Chief Warrant Officer 2 Jody Egnor, planned to speak and say thank you for the tribute. Jody Egnor, a member of the 160th, died in 2002 in a helicopter crash.
"It's been six years, and for someone to put together an organization, it means so much to me as a family member," Egnor said.
For those not directly associated with the military, it was a way to show appreciation for the sacrifices of every soldier.
"I think we often take their presence for granted and don't appreciate their sacrifice," said Rebecca Townsend, a member of the Clarksville Running Club.
Film crew follows run
The running club will hold a one-mile run in Clarksville on Aug. 24 to commemorate the conclusion of the trip.
Periodic water stations were set up by the Family Readiness Group of the 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, who had some members also join the run.
"It was a call to duty," said Aly Rohling, a member of the readiness group. "We felt like it was the least we could do."
A film crew has also been following the run across the country and will make a feature-length documentary about the run

Tigers trade C Ivan Rodriguez to Yankees
By DAVE SKRETTA
The Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — Ivan Rodriguez was the steady hand for the Florida Marlins when they won the 2003 World Series. A year later, he was the spark that helped turn around the Detroit franchise when nobody wanted to be a Tiger.
The New York Yankees hope he can be a little of both during their push for the playoffs.
The Yankees acquired the 14-time All-Star from the Tigers on Wednesday for hard-throwing reliever Kyle Farnsworth, a trade that filled glaring holes for both contenders.
"Honestly, I was shocked by this, but that's baseball," Rodriguez said. "Now, I'm just looking forward to playing for the Yankees and maybe I will play against Detroit again in the playoffs."
In the option year of a $50 million deal he signed with the Tigers in February 2004, Rodriguez will try to fill the void in the Yankees' lineup created by catcher Jorge Posada's shoulder injury. Posada had arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder Wednesday and is out for the season.
The 36-year-old Rodriguez, who has 13 Gold Glove awards, was hitting .295 with five homers in 82 games this season.
Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente and Rodriguez are the only three players in baseball history with at least 12 Gold Gloves and a career .300 average or better. Rodriguez has caught 2,142 games, trailing only Carlton Fisk (2,226) and Bob Boone (2,225) in terms of longevity behind the plate.
"He's still an everyday guy," Yankees manager Brian Cashman said. "He's an upgrade in spite of everything we've got."
Rodriguez has said he wants to play next season and beyond, but for now is focusing solely on helping the Yankees catch Tampa Bay and Boston in the AL East.
"It's going to be very exciting," he said. "They are in the race and I'm ready to do my job."
Tigers president Dave Dombrowski said the team didn't want to trade Rodriguez, but had bigger needs in the bullpen. The two teams began discussing the deal early Wednesday and had it wrapped up about six hours later, just as the Yankees were finishing off a 13-3 win over the Orioles.
The Yankees expect Rodriguez to join the team on Thursday, when they start a four-game series against the Los Angeles Angels.
"Pudge has done an outstanding job for us," Dombrowski told reporters before Detroit played the Cleveland Indians. "I'm sure he was very surprised by this, but for him this is a good situation. He's going to New York City, and they are in contention."
Scott Boras, Rodriguez's agent, said playing in the Bronx was very appealing to his client.
"Pudge had a no-trade clause and he waived it today to go to New York," Boras told The Associated Press. "Pudge has always wanted to play in New York, and Detroit felt it needed a relief pitcher, so both sides were able to get what they wanted to some degree."
The busy Yankees made their second major deal in the week leading up to Thursday's trade deadline. On Friday, they acquired outfielder Xavier Nady and left-hander Damaso Marte from the Pittsburgh Pirates for four minor leaguers.
The addition of Marte gave the Yankees the freedom to deal Farnsworth, who has been an inconsistent part of their bullpen for the past three seasons.
Farnsworth was 1-2 with a 3.65 ERA in 45 games, and joins a bullpen badly in need of reinforcements three days after veteran Todd Jones was removed from the closer role in Detroit.
"It's always hard, no matter what. Just one of those things you have to deal with," Farnsworth said in the Yankees' clubhouse. "I'm going someplace they want me, that's how I look at it."
Farnsworth pitched for the Tigers for the first four months of 2005, compiling a 2.32 ERA in 46 games before he was traded to the Braves at the trading deadline.
Dombrowski said it would be up to manager Jim Leyland to decide where to slot Farnsworth in the bullpen. Fernando Rodney, who has one career save, is the new closer for the Tigers.
"Kyle was a big part of our bullpen," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "It was tough to see him go."
Inge said he was excited to be getting a chance to start behind the plate on an everyday basis for the first time since 2003, when he started 98 times at catcher. Since then, he's gotten most of his starts at third base.
"I wan to play every day not matter what position, so I'm pumped," he said. "Did I learn a lot from Pudge? He's a future Hall of Famer, so watching him makes everybody better. I'm not Pudge, I'll just go out and do what I can."
Tigers slugger Gary Sheffield said the trade made sense to both sides.
"This is a surprise to people if they don't know the situations of the players," he said. "Both teams get better by this, and that's what a trade is supposed to be all about."
Rodriguez appeared in the Tigers' empty dugout hours before the game and waved over to Indians players, who were taking batting practice. He then disappeared back into the tunnel.
"You talk about a Hall of Fame catcher coming in here," Girardi said. "He's the complete package. He can do everything."
Later in the day, the Yankees traded reliever LaTroy Hawkins to Houston for Class-A infielder Matt Cusick. New York designated Hawkins for assignment Saturday after acquiring Nady and Marte.
