Popular Procedures for Lung Cancer Treatment

By Dr. Himanshu Garg 

Lung-Cancer

Lung Cancer is the most fatal and responsible for the most number of deaths among all cancers. But thankfully, it is not beyond treatment, especially in its earlier stages. The best type of Lung Cancer Treatment depends on the stage and nature of the cancer. Appropriateness of the recommended treatment depends on the expertise of the Lung Cancer Specialist and goes a long way into ensuring a successful recovery. This article provides an overview of the most popular methods of treating Lung Cancer and the common side-effects associated with them.






Surgery

Surgery is the most common way of treating Lung Cancer. It involves removal of the tumor along with the affected part of the lung. Though this is a popular step, its feasibility largely depends on the stage of the cancer. Surgery is preferably not opted for, if the cancer has spread to other places. The types of surgery for Lung Cancer are determined by the size of the lung tissue which requires to get removed.
The procedure is termed Wedge Resection when only a small part of the lung has to be removed. Lobectomy or Bilobectomy is the removal of an entire lobe of the lung. In extreme cases, the entire lung may be required to be removed, in which case, it is called Pneumonectomy. Both Thoracotomy (large incision) and VATS or Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (small incision) can be used for Lung Cancer Surgery. The side-effects include complications due to surgery and pain.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation Therapy is used in 3 cases. It is used to shrink the tumor before surgery, kill the remaining cancer cells that may be left after surgery, or as the primary method of Cancer Treatment. Radiation Therapy, as the primary treatment, is mostly used when the cancer has spread too far for surgery to be feasible. The radiations can be administered either from outside the body or from right within the tumor.
Radiation Therapy is however a complicated process with a host of side-effects, like skin reactions, sore throat, nausea, pain, tiredness, etc. Reaction to Radio Therapy is usually quite fast but managing the side-effects is the task of an expert.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy, just like Radiation Therapy, attempts to destroy the cancerous cells. However, in this case, special drugs are used in place of radiation. The drugs are administered through tablets or intravenous lines. Chemotherapy has a huge risk of killing the healthy cells too leading to side effects like appetite loss, hair loss, fatigue, and more. Chemotherapy is being replaced with targeted therapy which is more accurate in attacking the cancerous cells.

Complementary Therapies

Many patients are going for complementary therapies to accompany their regular treatment regime. Techniques like meditation, Yoga, Therapeutic Touch, Ayurved, etc. have shown to lessen the effects of side effects and provide relief. However, it is highly recommended to consult your Lung Specialist on the same.

Consultation

Lung Cancer, being fatal, can take a lot of toll on the mental health of the patient and his near and dear ones. The Top Lung Cancer Treatment Centers have facilities for consultation on the same in their own premises or tie ups with those that provide the same.

The above are the some of the most popular methods that are being used to treat cancer. As further study on the matter brings newer facts to light, we are hopefully moving towards a world where Lung Cancer can kill no more. Till that times, ensure good health for your lungs with regular visits to a Lung Specialist.

Why Do You Need to Choose Mobile Websites Over Mobile Apps?

By Gunjan Singh 

In the world leading to technologies, there are many mobile users over the desktop and it is important for the organizations to knock the door of mobile platforms. However, the biggest concern is to decide whether to make a mobile website or to launch a mobile app. The decision completely depends on upon the nature of business and purpose to choose one of them or perhaps both.

To make a rational decision, you are required to understand the meaning of both at first. Mobile websites are similar to any other website which consist browser-based HTML pages linked together and accessed over the internet (for mobile Wi-Fi or 3G or 4G connections).

Mobile websites also display content, information, graphics and data like other standard websites. They have added features like click to call and location-based mapping.

On the other hand, mobile apps are the actual applications which are required to download and install on your mobile to use them. The users have to go through the mobile apps store to download the app where the downloading may fetch data and information from the internet.

The mobile websites are considered better due to some additional benefits. These are the following advantages to opt for websites:



Availability: The sites are available instantly as you enter the URL in the browser while applications take time and data to download and install first.

Compatibility: A website is the best way to reach all the users. Whether they are using android or IOS or window, WWW is for the whole world. Apps are limited to the different operating systems.

Upgradability: When the owner of the site updates any changes, the users can enjoy the updated version with an ease while, updating an app is a hectic task for users.

Sharing: The sharing of a URL is convenient while sharing an app requires another specific app. Instead, sharing a link on any social media platform is one click task.

Time and Money: The mobile website development is considerably better money and time saver than development of an application, particularly if you need to make a presence on various platforms.

Further steps: Launching an application on the stores is not enough to make a presence on platforms. It requires compatibility issues, ongoing development, upgrades and testing which is more expensive than launching an app.


Applications are only considerable for interactive games, regular usage or personalization and moreover when it doesn't require internet connection for usage.

Ten Things Highly Successful Women Would Have Done Differently In High School

By Madison P Singh 

"What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

About a year ago, I read an article written by someone who was giving advice to her younger self. I found it interesting, as I am always interested in learning from my mistakes and the mistakes of others. I am very focused on success for young women in high school and I thought it might be interesting to find out what some of the most successful women would have done differently in high school. High school really is the springboard to future success and I am forever and always a proponent of hard work and high achievement.

I devised a questionnaire and asked 60 highly successful women what advice they would give to current high school girls yearning for great successes in their lives, as well. My list of successful women included those that had reached the pinnacle of success in their respective fields, such as a Supreme Court Justice, several Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers, Law and Medical Professors at the most elite colleges in the country, a University President, a Governor, several Senators, a championship winning athlete, an Academy Award winning actress and a Pulitzer Prize winning author. Although it took me about a year to contact and compile my responses from these women, I was pleasantly surprised at their willingness to communicate their experiences and advice with me. It was also interesting that many of these women shared similar responses. In my prior research studies, high school girls who successfully embraced this advice ended up at the most elite colleges in the country. There may not be a scientific correlation at this time, but it is an interesting outcome, nonetheless. I have published this in my other articles, which I encourage you to read.

The following are the top ten things these highly successful women would have done differently in high school and some advice they shared, ranked in order of the most responses:

1. Never Let Go Of Your Dreams And Dream Big
 Your dreams become your inspiration to work harder and set goals for high achievement. These women related they purposely picked goals that were difficult to achieve, such as making partner in a prestigious law firm or becoming a tenured professor by the age of 35, becoming a Supreme Court Justice and running for the office of Governor and winning. Just because a state has never elected a female Governor before doesn't mean it can't happen. If you believe in yourself, you can make it happen. If you focus, work hard enough and stay away from the distractions in high school, anything is possible. Many of the women interviewed told me that high school, retrospectively, is a little part of a bigger picture and they focused on the long term, not the short term. They advised to stay away from the drama and negative peer pressure in high school and just follow your own unique path.

2. Learn To Say "No"-
Don't pretend to be something you are not; be yourself. You are not out to please the world and you shouldn't do anything you are not comfortable doing. "No" is a very powerful word and the respondents alluded it will serve you well in the future if you learn this now. They also commented is it better to excel in a few areas than to spread yourself so thin you can't excel at anything. They also reiterated that parents are usually right, so listen to them and don't discount their advice and opinions because experience does matter.

3. Success And Money Really Are A Result Of Hard Work, Grit & Determination 
Sorry to burst your bubble, but there really is no free ride or luck that takes you to the top. It is all about hard work, determination and dedication. These women kept themselves focused on the end result and worked longer hours and networked more than their peers. They were willing to take risks, work harder and pursue higher levels of education. An interesting point was all these women sacrificed something today for a greater return tomorrow. The respondents related their exceptionalism and their drive to keep achieving as drivers of their success.

4. Stay Away From People Who Tell You That You Can't.
The overwhelming advice on this point was not to let others judge you. It doesn't matter what others think about you, it's what you think of yourself that makes all the difference. It is this strong sense of self that will point you in the direction and the choices you will eventually have to make to determine your future endeavors. Keeping toxic people out of your life allows you to succeed and focus on accomplishing your goals. They also advised not to give up on something you are passionate about. Many told me they regretted quitting playing the piano or another musical instrument and cannot afford the time to learn it today. Time is precious and they advised sticking to a hobby or passion, as it will enrich your life at a later time.

5. Grudges Will Never Take You Anywhere, Let Them Go.
It is important to understand that everyone has an opinion or belief that may differ from yours and should be the basis for discussion and learning, not resentment and avoidance. The capacity to forgive has produced great leaders, such as Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi, who recognized that by forgiving people that hold you back, that have managed to hurt you, and forgiving yourself for the people whom you have hurt, you alleviate the toxicity that steals your energy, ambition and self-confidence. Essentially, it diminishes your leadership ability. Learn from the past and embrace the future.

6. Take Care Of Yourself Now. 
Studies keep coming out that show what we do when are younger may have dire consequences on us when we age. Now is the time to develop healthy lifestyle changes. Exercising and eating healthy, along with the determination not to smoke, take drugs or abuse alcohol, are all imperative for leading a longer, happier and more successful life. Get at least seven hours of sleep a night and try to avoid the drive through. The respondents said these bad habits will show up in your 30's and 40's and prevention is the key.

7. Be Curious And Take Risks.
"You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water", is a famous quote by Rabindranath Tagore. Every reaction requires an action. You'll never achieve your goals if you don't take a chance. With every decision comes risk, but you only need to win more than not. The fact is you are not even in the game without taking the risk of stepping in. Take the road less traveled- these respondents said it made all the difference in their lives.

8. Failure Is Inevitable, But It Can Make You Stronger.
One thing these women had in common is they were rejected from something they intensely wanted at least one time. Each one took it as a sign to work even harder and that's what they attribute to their great success. Every one of your failures is laying out a path for your eventual success. Michael Jordan, who is regarded as the greatest basketball player in history, was cut from his varsity team numerous times and said, "I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." How do you really know what a success is if you have not experienced a failure? These women advised embracing the failure and working harder to get an even better outcome.

9. Study, Study and Study.
Get off the video games and reality television and put the time into improving your grades. With all the social media out there, it is hard to not let it invade your life, but you must. The difference between a valedictorian and a salutatorian can typically come down to one grade in high school. Colleges love to boast about the number of valedictorians and often provide greater scholarships and admissions. Students who work hard and achieve in high school learn to develop high expectations and demand stellar outcomes from themselves, which, in turn, become life-long traits. As Socrates said so eloquently, "Wisdom begins in Wonder", so start contemplating and studying.

10. Get Into The College You Really Want To Attend.
According to Vanderbilt economics and law professor Joni Hersch, who has researched and published on this subject, students who attend low-tier undergraduate institutions seldom transition to top-tier graduate schools. Even more daunting is those who do, rarely achieve the earnings power of peers who attended elite colleges. Women have it much tougher- A lower tier college graduate who attended a higher tier law school, as an example, earns only about 60 percent of the salary of a lawyer with a bachelor's degree from an elite level college. Christopher Avery, a professor of public policy at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, has published and researched college as a mode of social mobility. Students who earn a degree from an elite college, even those with unremarkable grades and test scores, are handily too far ahead of those who don't, which is why they will never catch up. The networks, resources and teaching at the elite schools typically cannot be rivaled by other colleges and set the path for success into motion. The most elite recruiters go to the most elite colleges. Recruiters often like to select candidates from the elite colleges they attended. The take away here is work hard and get into the best college you can. It will make a difference, according to the respondents and the research.

This was an interesting and thought provoking project for me personally. As a high school sophomore with two high achieving sisters currently attending elite colleges, I have seen firsthand how the right choices in high school can impact options for future success. I hope this list helps guide you to a life filled with opportunity.

Have you ever wondered what advice some the most successful women in this country would give to current high school girls? I did and I spent over a year contacting women who have reached the pinnacle of achievement in their respective fields and created a questionnaire to get some pearls of wisdom. As a high school sophomore highly focused on education and success, I compiled a top ten list of things these women would do differently in high school, if given the opportunity. Hopefully, it will put you on a path of success, as well!

5 Common Mistakes in Your Home Business Web Design To Avoid

By Amy Austin 

While every Web site design should reflect the unique qualities of the business itself, there are some universal rules of professional design that every business owner should follow. You don't want to lose a potential customer or client due to a simple mistake.

1) Don't Be Too Flashy

Flash animation certainly has its place in the Web site world - but it's typically not on the home page of your business site. Customers arrive at your Web site expecting to find helpful information about the products and services that interest them - not a slowly unfolding display of digital animation. Use flash wisely - and sparingly - in your professional Web design. I recommend not using flash at all; especially if you are using SEO. Discuss the pros and cons with your design team.

2) Don't Strain the Eye

Keeping Web site design simple can literally save you - and your customers - from headaches. Use a tried-and-true font style, such as Arial, that's sans-serif and proven to be readable. Background is another area of concern for professional Web design. Using busy patterned backgrounds or placing colored type against a black background may cause users to get frustrated and leave your site.

3) Don't Make it Difficult

Use of navigation in designing your web site is like using GPS on a road trip. Use it wisely to guide visitors to the desired destination - and they will enjoy themselves along the way. Resist the urge to get too creative with this aspect of your web page - a clean navigation panel is a user's best resource. Don't lose your customers interest in a flood of flashy pictures and spinning click here buttons.

4) Don't Waste Time

When your Web site design is full of graphics and images, it requires a greater amount of bandwidth. This increased bandwidth takes longer for the user to download. Keep in mind that some people use older computers. In the time it takes for your Web site design to load, your customer may very well decide it's not worth the wait. Only use the graphics and images that are absolutely necessary for your web site and save the rest for your portfolio.

5) Don't Overdo It

Too much or a cluttered Web site design overwhelms your site's visitors and can make your business appear unprofessional. A disorganized site tends to reflect poorly on the very business it is supposed to promote, while a professional Web design speaks volumes about your attention to detail. Keep it simple and clean.

A good website design needs to not only turn customers' heads, but also keeps them interested. Follow the simple guidelines of a business Web design and you'll see the beauty in a more positive visitor experience.

Create a Professional Web Design for Your Home Page

There's no place like home in professional Web design - the homepage, that is.

When you create a website homepage, keep in mind that first impressions truly are everything. You only have a few seconds to capture their attention. More than any other page on your site, your homepage's design should help your visitors answer several key questions about your business.

Bringing visitors to your homepage is only half the battle. In order to be effective, your homepage must also encourage visitors to stick around and take action. Whether you create a website yourself or work with a professional Web design company, there are several steps you can take to make your homepage a sticky success.

Add a Logo Design

Little things can make a big difference in professional website, and that is certainly the case with adding a logo to your homepage. A professional company can work with you to create a customized logo design that strengthens your brand identity and boosts customer confidence. This logo should also be produced in several file formats for images --.JPG,.EPS, and .TIF -- so you can use your new logo in the website or in print marketing materials.

Explain Who You Are

You'll need to tell visitors about yourself - and do it fast. Building rapport and relationship is a key part of attraction marketing for your business. As soon as a visitor arrives at your homepage, the clock is ticking. If your page does not point them directly to the information they want, they may lose interest in your company. One popular way to accomplish this -- add an "About Us" page to your website.

Reduce Scrolling

Here, web site layout takes its cue from print design. Just like a newspaper's major headlines should be above the fold, your professional Web design should place your most pertinent information above the point where a visitor must start scrolling to view. The more scrolling required by your Web design, the less likely your visitor is to stay.

Test for Compatibility

When you create a website homepage, remember that not all browsers and devices were created equal. Keeping your design simple can help you capture the largest possible audience across the board. To be sure, though, you'll need to test your website from multiple devices and browsers.

Update Regularly

Once your web site is completed, you may be tempted to leave it that way for quite some time. A website, just like a business is always changing and growing. In order for your site to keep visitors and search engines coming back for more, it must be updated regularly. You want to keep building your contact data base with new information and subscriptions.

Promote Recognition and Testimonials

When done in moderation, the homepage can be a good place to display small graphics representing rewards and recognition you've received from your clients and industry peers. By adding these graphics when you create a website homepage, you can strengthen your professionalism by showing visitors that you are a legitimate business worthy of their time.

With so much depending on your homepage, it's important to get it right. When you're ready to create a website yourself or work with a professional, remember these simple suggestions for a professional and effective site that encourages visitors to stick around.

Are Summer Camp High Ropes Courses Scary?

By Genie Fletcher 

Summer camp is a place where every day is guaranteed to involve some type of adventure and high ropes courses are part of the camping experience. Yet, it is common for both parents and their kids to hesitate a bit when it comes to activities that involve an element of risk, especially if the kid is afraid of heights. While almost every camper will give a different answer regarding whether or not high ropes courses are scary, understanding how they work to build skills such as leadership and confidence will help you encourage your son or daughter to give it a try.

Safety Demonstrations

No camper ever hits the high ropes course without first being briefed regarding the safety rules and types of equipment used to protect them from injury. Knowing that only state-of-the-art harnesses and other equipment is being used gives kids reassurance that they will be safe on the ropes. During these safety demonstrations, campers are taught how to check their gear, and they get the chance to experience a short fall so they know that their harness will hold their weight.

Strategic Course Progression

High ropes courses are designed to foster a camper's ability to trust in themselves and others. For this reason, no one ever starts at the highest element. Instead, kids begin with small challenges that let them test out their skills and courage before moving on to the big thrill. Often, a camper will start on a low ropes course before progressing to the higher ropes. This allows those who are afraid of heights to slowly acclimate to the sensation of being off the ground.

Kid-Directed Advancement

Since the point of a high ropes course is to focus on building trust in one's abilities, campers are never forced to tackle an element that sparks serious fear. Instead, they are encouraged to go at their own pace and to try new elements as their comfort level increases. While gentle encouragement is offered to help kids overcome hurdles, staff members and the other campers never pressure anyone to tackle an obstacle they find scary. Instead, kids tend to advance on their own due to their natural sense of adventure when previous elements become too easy.

Rewards for Safe Risk-Taking

Camp is the perfect place for kids to learn how to take safe risks. Developing the ability to assess a situation and decide to step out of their comfort zone pays off when they can leave camp with the confidence to raise their hand in class or score that impossible goal on the sports field. On a high ropes course, kids will find fun and rewarding elements such as zip lines and giant swings that let them literally fly through the air with exhilaration after conquering their fear.

So are summer camp high ropes courses scary? A little bit... but that's the point. Kids are naturally drawn to thrills that satisfy their need for adventure and high ropes courses use that need to teach them how to overcome fear and learn to trust in their own abilities. With every element of the course that a kid conquers at camp, they develop a strong sense of self-confidence which inspires them to reach new heights in every area of their life.

Family - Love Them and Let Them Go, They'll Thank You Later

By Lorie Ann Jermoune 

Family

Family members are wonderful, colorful, and a reflection, gauge or a barometer of a small peek into the window of how our thoughts and judgments formulated into the truths that we live by and reveal how we calculate our responses and reactions to our life challenges. That is one of the key elements in any interpersonal relationship, first of all, there are the emotive responses and the logical responses that are all part of the human experience. We are all innately responding to factors in our environment whether we realize it or not. Conditioning and environment play key factors in our responses and reactions to life events, though much of the judgment is inner chatter or discussion that resonates with what we believe to be true, lawful, or what resonates with our sense of justice.

We did not choose our parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles or cousins, you get the picture? Now if only they would get it too! This is neither a critique or a judgement, simply an assessment brought to light.

I love my family, there's no discounting that; I would do anything in my power to assist anyone of them, as I already have. Many, many, many times too many to publicly admit; it's NOT the admitting that's brings about the most pain, it's that it continues to leave my emotional tank on,"E." I still am not accepted as an individual that plays by different thoughts of logic, reasoning and most often sought mainly for problem-solving or guidance.* Even the giver of emotional time and investment of others is deserving of receiving and giving something more concrete and valuable; reciprocal appreciation. I give to them from my heart; listen, engage, and understand even if I do not agree, I show empathy and controlled responses before reacting in a negative or judgmental way. It's quite the paradox to grow up and still be deemed as young in thought or not viewed to full adulthood. It's actually both disheartening and discouraging.

It's not in the giving, that I am looking for their love, it's in the gift of giving; in the stretching of my hand; in the hope to receive empathy, peace and love back; that is the dilemma for me at-hand, not be shown respect of thought, love and affection;* I now choose to change the pattern for my health and for theirs as well!

The issue is always, what will they expect for me to do next? I wish them well, and I gotta let them go for a little while, till I get stronger or till they understand that life is to be lived and enjoyed by all and that includes a life of peaceful living for me as well as for them! It's okay to take a break from the family dynamic, at least until you have had time to regroup and console yourself with productive counseling and rebuilding relationship structures and dynamics. Not an easy feat, by any means, though the return can be amazing!

Foster healthy relationships for yourself and for your loved ones to understand that history has already happened and it is in the electricity or static energy that we need to fix our current reality: Just like an electrical current, there is energy, submission, an ultimate power source,(God),working with our family, the same applies to you and me, our family can be an assistant power source, or a missing link, if that's how they choose to think.

Family is beautiful and like kryptonite is to Superman, a very strong man, though very susceptible to outer energy, beyond his super-human strength, massive physical statue and ability to overcome obstacles. After all Superman was a man too! He hurt, felt sad, needed empathy and compassion, not that there's anything wrong with that. If we remember from the movies, Superman sought comfort and guidance from his family, during crucial times when he needed support and guidance. His parents left messages behind knowing of his need for family strength and counseling- they supported him even after death. Can you imagine if more families did that?

We all need to feel loved and appreciated, no matter how strong we are expected to appeal or appear to family and friends, we are all deserving of love and appreciation. After you return from taking a family break, your loving family will be happy and thank you immensely, content to no end, that you showed yourself worthy of time alone, and did something healthy for yourself. They will be glad that you took time to get to know yourself better making you a happier person, ready to explore new adventures!

Love your family, and if you can, love mine too, I know that I do!!!

I enjoy learning from you and from others offering me knowledge continuously!

Bone Cancer - Types And Symptoms

By Seema Rawat 

I took more time to write this article as compared to other articles of mine in order to make it more informative and useful for the readers who want to gather good information about BONE CANCER. I hope my article will provide you the best requirements.

CANCER

Cancer is a dangerous disease which is rapidly increasing day by day. Cancer is not a single disease. Cancers actually are of different types, including, Brain, Breast, Blood, Bladder, Lung, Cervical, Ovarian, Colorectal, Pancreatic, Esophageal, Kidney, Skin, Thyroid, Liver, Uterine, etc.

Cancer begins when cells grow out of control and crowd out normal cells of our body. It can infect any part of the human being. Cancer actually makes hard for the body to work in a normal manner. In fact, sometimes, it becomes hard to save the life of a cancer patient. But, a proper treatment works very well for many people.

HUMAN BODY CELLS

The cells in human bodies have a certain set of jobs. Normal cells divide in an orderly way. They die when they are damaged and a new cell takes their place.

CANCER CELLS

The cancer cells grow out of control and make new cells. They infect normal cells too. The cancer cells cause problems in the part of the body where the cancer started. In fact, they can also spread to other parts of the body.

HOW ARE CANCERS DIFFERENT?

Some cancers grow as well as spread quickly while other cancers grow slowly. In fact, their treatment procedure responds in different manners. Some types of cancer are best treated with surgery while others respond better to drugs called chemotherapy.

The first priority of a doctor is to know about the type of cancer a person is suffering from. After that he continues the treatment procedure accordingly.

BONE CANCER

Bone cancers are of two types which includes primary and secondary bone cancer. A primary bone cancer takes place in the bone while secondary cancer begins elsewhere in the body and then after spreads to the bone of the human body.

TYPES OF BONE CANCER

OSTEOSARCOMA: This is also called as OSTEOGENIC SARCOMA. In fact, it is the most common type of bone cancer and typically begins in bone cells of arms and legs. This type of bone cancer occurs most frequently in a person between the ages of 10 and 30. It is more common in males as compared to females.

CHONDROSARCOMA: It begins in cartilage cells. It is found that it is the second most common form of the bone cancer. It occurs rarely in an individual under the age of 20.

EWING TUMOR: It is also known as Ewing's sarcoma, typically develop in the bones, but can also take place in other tissues as well as muscles. This type of bone cancer is the third most common type of primary bone cancer. This tumor infects children and adolescents.

FIBROSARCOMA TUMOR: This tumor typically forms in the soft tissue around the bones, such as tendons, ligaments and fat or muscle. These types of bone cancer infect in the arms, legs and jaws of adults.

GIANT CELL TUMOR: This tumor has two different forms, including, benign and malignant. It often forms in the arm or leg bones of young and middle-aged adults. This type of cancer rarely spreads to other area of the human body.

CHORDOMA TUMOR: This kind of tumor affects bones in the spine and the base of the skull. It develops most frequently in adults about 30 or older, mostly men. This type of tumor grows slowly with a low risk of spreading to different parts, but may return at the original part if not removed completely during surgery, and may eventually spread to the lungs and liver.

SYMPTOMS OF BONE CANCER

PAIN: Pain in the affected bone is the most common symptom of patients suffering from bone cancer. In the beginning, the pain is not constant. It may be increased at night or when the bone is used due to several activities, like walking and running. As the cancer spreads, the pain will remain all the time.

SWELLING: Swelling in the area of the pain may not take place until a few weeks later. It might be possible to feel a mass or lump depending on the area of the cancer. Tumor in the bones of the neck can lead to lump in the back of the throat that causes trouble in swallowing and breathing.

FRACTURES: Bone cancer weakens the bone it develops in, but most of the time the bones do not fracture. People with a bone fracture often describe sudden pain in a limb that had been sore for a few months.

OTHER SYMPTOMS: Tumor in the bones of the spine can press on nerves which generally tend to numbness and weakness. Cancer may lead to weight loss and fatigue as well. If the cancer grows to internal organs, it may cause other different symptoms. For instance, if the tumor infected to the lung, then an individual may face trouble in breathing.

IMPORTANCE OF TOP MEDICAL UNIVERSITIES IN MEDICAL FIELD

In today's time, we often hear about new as well as dangerous diseases. Cancer is one of the dangerous diseases among all. There are a large number of people who are infected with such a dangerous disease.

But, a very big thank to the top medical universities, which provide an open door opportunity to the ambitious and interested students.

You can also use the sites competence to know how certain websites or applications correlate with high employee output as the app uses deep learning algorithms to compare higher and lower performing team members and correlate behaviours with performance. Do higher performing team members spend more or less time on certain websites? Are their meetings shorter or less frequent?

Self-reported time-use data is likely to be highly inaccurate. That is why the site automatically captures data live across your company, and generate insights for analysis.

3 Things To Do When Listing Your Business Online

By Idd Aziz 

scam-company

Listing your business in the local directories makes it possible for people to find you. When done right, listings also boost your website ranking. For you to get the most from listing your business you need to do it properly. To help you out here is what you should do:






Go for the top directories

It's recommended that you have your business listed in as many directories as possible. When you are starting the process you should have your business listed in the major and popular directories. Being listed in the popular directories increases your reputation and also puts you in front of many potential clients.

In addition to listing your business in the popular directories, you should also find smaller directories that are specific to your niche. For example, if you are an interior designer, you should find a directory that only lists companies dealing with interior design. While this might not give you as much exposure as the large directories, it will give you access to more specific clients. It also lets other business owners in your niche know that you exist.

Enter the necessary details

Since you want people to find you, you should include information that allows them to easily find and recognize you. You should include your name, physical address, phone number, email address and if necessary, the company logo. When you are entering the details in different directories ensure that all the details are consistent. The human brain is known to process images better than text; therefore, experts recommend that you add a few photos of your business. You can include photos of your products or pictures of your business building. Experts recommend that you include images of your products so that your clients can know what to expect when working with you.

Since the directories are online, you should sprinkle a few keywords that will make it easy for people interested in your services to find you.

Respond to customer reviews

If you go through most of the online directories you will find that almost all of them allow customers to leave reviews. To boost your reputation you should encourage people to leave their reviews. Once a customer leaves a review, always take your time to respond to it.

Conclusion

If you are a business owner and you aren't listed you are doing yourself a disservice. You should find the reputable directories in your area and list your business.

If looking to be included in a Company List we will include you in the right category. We have a List of Business Services Companies and many others. Visit the given links to know more.

5 Ways to Rework Your Blog Posts

By Juan A Rademacher 

Rework-Blog-Post

Writing web content can be a time-consuming task. Fresh content is what search engines are looking for.

If you are in need of updated articles for your blog, the answer is right under your nose.

You have a blog filled with posts, why not spend some time updating the ones you have already written? This is the easiest way to maintain top rankings in search engines.

It's fairly easy to rework your own articles and turn them into something entirely new, yet retain the original message.

This is the quickest way to gain new traffic, without putting too much effort into creating completely new content.

It shouldn't take much time to rewrite old blog posts - you already know the material. The simple trick is in knowing how to make improvements without putting out maximum effort.

Below are 5 methods you can use to successfully transform old articles into something new and original:

1. Add Length

Longer posts tend to generate more traffic than shorter ones do. Go through your blog and lengthen those that might seem a bit word shy.

Don't just fill your post with fluff, give your readers more valuable reading material - you want to entertain or teach them something they never knew. Longer posts will also keep your target audience on your page for a while.

2. Make Improvements

Does your post look like a wall of text? These posts are hard on the eyes and may cause some people to just skip the article altogether.

Try breaking apart your article and creating bullet points. Also, use images and video to enhance your message. And make use of italics and underlining to further emphasize a word or phrase.

3. Create a New Title

Do you have a great article that you feel gets little attention? Sometimes the greatest works can get overlooked due to a poorly worded title.

If you think this might be the case, change the title and sub-headings and see if that brings in the needed traffic. If the content is fine then leave it alone; just create an eye-catching title that will generate a ton of traffic.

4. Use Internal Links

Make generous use of internal links. Search engines love web pages that include links to other pages within a site.

Add new links in a few of your currently popular articles, linking to relevant material within your own blog.

This is a great way to get people to browse through your site, and it keeps them reading longer. Internal links are a great SEO tool which helps generate a ton of new traffic to your blog.

5. Make Old 'New'

At least once a month you should take your most popular blog posts and share them on various social media sites.

It doesn't matter if the post is years old, if it still generates traffic then it is still relevant.

Introduce this terrific post to those who may have missed it before. Let social media work and direct traffic directly to your blog.

My obsession is helping beginners get results online. That's because after years of frustration trying to make a steady income online, I've discovered a few basic, time-tested "secrets" the gurus have used for a long time, that practically guarantee success.

Money Making Strategies With Private Label Rights (PLR) Products

By Peter Molnar 

PLR

Affiliate E-book Giveaway Strategy

Everyone loves free gifts! What better way to share free gifts than by turning your PLR products into e-books to giveaway? When you give free content to your subscribers, you build trust and credibility with them and they will love you even more.

But let's take things a step further... Inside your free e-books, you can include links to products of interest... Something related to what they are reading. These links are actually your Affiliate Links. So, if they happen to buy something through your link, you will be paid commissions by the vendor!

You can also encourage your subscribers to share the e-books with others if they liked it. That way, your affiliate links in the book will be spread to even more people virally and the chances of you making a commission through click-throughs increases as well.

Free gifts not necessarily need to be in the form of e-books. You can also give free access to membership sites or videos. These free content serves two purposes: The first is providing valuable content to your subscribers and the second is to encourage them to share or direct them to relevant sources which could be either your affiliate links or sales pages.

Try and brainstorm a couple of free products that you can come up with and give it to your subscribers. They say that the amount of rewards you get is directly proportionate to the amount of value you provide. So let's start the ball rolling and start giving out more value to our subscribers!

Podcasting PLR For Profits

Here's a useful strategy. Have you tapped into the power of audio yet? Studies have shown that majority of people prefer to listen than read. So why not jump on the bandwagon by creating nifty products in audio format using PLR?

One good strategy is to do a Podcast of PLR product that you have. A Podcast is a more interesting product than the conventional e-book and with that you can charge your customers a fee to listen to it. To add more value to your podcast, try giving away master resell rights to it! Meaning, people who purchase a copy of your podcast can sell it to others and keep the profit for themselves. This encourages them to promote it and let the word of your services reach a wider audience.

When you give away Master Resell Rights (MRR) to a product, a smart thing to do would be to leave traces of information that lead to your website or business inside the product. That way the more others sell your product, the more coverage you will get.

Why not double the value by giving customers free download access to the word transcript of the podcast? That way they can listen to it when they feel like or go back and study the podcast in the text format! People love access to different file formats and if your business can be the one to provide for that, they'll love you for it.

Instead, a good home based business directory should weed out the scams. To be sure that you're looking at a good home based business directory, you may still want to do some research on the directory.

B.B. King - Blues Guitar Music Legend Part 2

By Steve M Herron 

B.B. King

BB King's guitar style may seem simple, yet upon analysis it discloses a sophisticated awareness of melody, harmony, and rhythm. He seems to always hit the right notes, phrases like no one else, and has a vibrato that is universally recognized. BB approaches the guitar as if it were another voice, not just as an instrument. He plays guitar as if he were singing through it. When he has to take a breath, his guitar does as well. He claims that his sound is not something that he learned, it is just the way he asserts himself as a person and as a guitarist.

Stylistically, what separates BB King from his peers is his firm rooting in the jazz as well as the blues idioms. One of BB's major influences was jazz guitarist Lonnie Johnson, who was one of the first guitarists to visualize the guitar as a single-line solo instrument. BB also listened extensively to Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt and to horn players such as Lester Young, Johnny Hodges and Bobby Hackett. His blues guitar influence comes primarily from T-Bone Walker. BB softened Walker's somewhat strident style, adding a vibrato that he developed while trying to copy the bottleneck slide guitar sound of his cousin Bukka White. The rest is pure BB King, which is a combination of elements that has produced one of the most distinctive blues guitarists ever!

BB draws from a large pallet of harmonic and melodic devices. Although he is primarily known as a single line player, he does play chords - specifically triads and double stops which he uses to punctuate his solos. Check out his chord intro to the song "Please Love Me" and his rhythm chord comping during the saxophone solo in the song "You Upset Me Baby". Perhaps the most identifiable feature of BB King's sound is his "Bee-Sting" vibrato. He does his vibrato completely from the wrist, as he shakes his whole hand rapidly and evenly. Even though this is a much imitated sound, only BB can make it "sing" the way he does. BB's knowledge of jazz harmony allows him to introduce harmonic concepts into his soloing that are more sophisticated than the typical pentatonic ideas used by most blues guitarists.

The most unique quality of BB King's style is his ability to combine jazzier elements with a rock solid blues sensibility. I was fortunate enough to hear BB King and his big band play live at the Civic Center in Baltimore, Maryland back in 1969. The big band sounded incredible - a real wall of sound - and BB's guitar playing just "wailed" and filled the Civic Center with some of the most exciting blues guitar music I've ever heard. Fortunately, for aspiring blues guitarists there is a wealth of blues guitar tab books available as well as an instructional DVD course taught by BB King himself!

B.B. King - Blues Guitar Music Legend Part 1

By Steve M Herron

One of my favorite guitarists has always been blues guitar music legend BB King! He is arguably the most influential and certainly the most visible blues guitarist in history. Other famous guitar players such as Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, Keith Richards, Billy Gibbons and Mike Bloomfield have all acknowledged their debt to BB King. And, BB King's playing today remains just as fresh, vibrant and alive as ever!



Riley King was born in Mississippi in 1925 to Albert and Nora King. His mother left her husband for another man when BB was 4 years old and he was sent to live with his maternal grandmother also in Mississippi without objection from his father. Nora had 2 other husbands and BB was shuffled back and forth between them and his grandmother. His musical education began when he started singing in the Sanctified Church, whose preacher Archie Fair was his uncles' brother-in-law. Archie Fair strummed some gospel guitar songs and gave the curious youngster his first enticing taste of playing on the strings. BB's mother died in 1935 but fortunately not before she could call her 9 year old son to her side before passing.

Afterwards, BB went back to stay with his grandmother and attended the Baptist sponsored Elkhorn School where he continued strengthening his young voice in the gospel choir. When his grandmother died in 1940, the 14 year old tried tenant farming on her land until later that year when he left for the Delta to live with his father and extended family for the next 2 years. By the age of 15 he was already playing on street corners. He had discovered that he could make more money in tips in one day of playing guitar than he could for a whole week's work picking cotton! Soon he was doing singing commercials on Memphis radio stations and from that he moved on to getting his own show. It was at this time that he picked up the nickname "BB" which was short for "Blues Boy".

His popularity continued to grow and eventually he was signed to the RPM record label. His first hit "3 O'Clock Blues" went to Number 1 on the rhythm and blues charts and heralded the arrival of a blues guitar superstar. BB continued touring and recording throughout the fifties, but it wasn't until the sixties that his name became familiar to white audiences. In 1970 he won a grammy award for his monumental hit "The Thrill Is Gone". To this day, he continues to tour over 200 days a year and to record with his band and with other artists as diverse as Larry Carlton and U2. His numerous television and film appearances along with countless awards continue to affirm his stature as an all time blues guitar great. Fortunately, for aspiring blues guitarists there is a wealth of instructional blues guitar tab books as well as a DVD course taught by BB King himself!

Peabody Conservatory trained guitarist Steven Herron helps people succeed at becoming better guitar players. His company ChordMelody.com features an enormous, unique selection of [http://www.chordmelody.com/newpage8.htm]blues guitar tab as well as guitar books and instructional DVDs by BB King himself.

Cool Jazz Guitar Playing - Jim Hall Stood Above The Crowd!

By Steve M Herron

Jim-Hall

Jim Hall was born on December 4, 1930 in Buffalo, N.Y. and as a youngster was surrounded by music. His grandfather played the violin, his mom the piano, and his uncle the guitar. It was his uncle who convinced Hall to take up the guitar at the age of 10. His talent was soon apparent and although it was against union policies, he began to play live in local dance bands at age 13. Like many of the jazz guitar greats of the 1950s and 1960s, it was the recordings of Charlie Christian that first turned Hall's focus towards jazz.

Jim Hall's family relocated to Cleveland, Ohio in 1946. Having actually decided to make a profession in music he got accepted to and later graduated from The Cleveland Institute of Music. It was during this period of time that Hall became familiar with the gypsy jazz guitar virtuoso Django Reinhardt. Reinhardt's recordings influenced the subsequent development of his guitar style. Not pleased with the financial prospects of working as a guitar player in Cleveland, Jim chose to transfer to Los Angeles in 1955.

There he felt he could both earn money and still continue his musical studies at The University of California in Los Angeles. He was also able to study classical guitar, for a short while, with Vicente Gomez. In 1958 drummer Chico Hamilton was forming what was to be the very first of his numerous outstanding jazz quintets. John Graas, the French horn player, recommended Hall to Hamilton. Hall got the job with what ended up to be among the most successful and innovative jazz groups of the day. He stuck with Hamilton for one and a half years.

This association with Chico Hamilton was to be Hall's very first step up the ladder to the top of the jazz guitar tree. Hall received well-earned critical reviews for his part in Giuffre's trio from jazz audiences and critics all over the world. Now established globally as a jazz artist of the highest caliber, Hall was contracted to play with top singers consisting of Ella Fitzgerald and Yves Montand.

In 1960 Hall moved back to New York city. For a while he worked as a studio musician which included a stint with the band on the popular "Merv Griffin Show". Once more back at the top of his game as a jazz guitar player, the early 1970s and late 1960s saw Hall at his creative best. For many years since, Hall has made lots of exceptional recordings with diverse jazz artists. He has appeared in live performances and recorded with bassists Ron Carter and Red Mitchell, trumpeters Art Farmer and Chet Baker, pianists Bill Evans and George Shearing, saxophonists Paul Desmond and Ornette Coleman, in addition to many other top jazz artists.



Several of these recordings have some of the very best jazz guitar playing on record and certainly validate the title often bestowed upon Hall as "The Poet of Jazz". He likewise recorded with a quartet led by pianist Andre Previn backing classical violinist Itzhak Pearlman and also with The Kronos String Quartet. Jim Hall was awarded the prestigious JAZZPAR Prize for 1998. He accepted the honor which included a cash award of roughly $30,000. at the JAZZPAR Prize Gala Concert in Copenhagen, Denmark on April 5, 1998.

Jim Hall is certainly among the most inventive, prominent, and lyrical jazz guitarists in history. While Jim was initially associated with cool jazz and then with hard bop, he always had his own approach along with a very distinct guitar sound. A master of subtlety, he has over the years consistently created fresh concepts, used space effectively, and made every note he played count. Jim hall passed away on December 10, 2013 at the age of 83.

Peabody Conservatory trained guitarist Steven Herron is an expert on jazz guitar books. He has spent most of his adult life playing professionally at clubs and restaurants as well as teaching private students at his studio.

Jazz Guitar Music Legend Charlie Christian Started It All!

By Steve M Herron 

Charlie-Christian

Charlie Christian was born on July 29, 1916 in Bonham, Texas but grew up in Oklahoma City. His dad was a singer/guitarist, his mom a pianist, and they played in a Dallas cinema when he was a youngster. His 2 bothers were also musicians. Christian began his musical career on the trumpet but due to a significant chest condition switched to the guitar at age 12. He also had some understanding of the bass and the piano. Following the family's relocation to Oklahoma City in 1921, Christian senior lost his sight. To make a living he ultimately ended up being a street artist accompanied by his three kids, Clarence on violin and mandolin, Edward on string bass, and Charlie on guitar.

Throughout the early 1930s, Charlie Christian played guitar in his brother Edward's band "The Jolly Jugglers". He first gained broader recognition for his obvious skill in 1937 when he signed up with The Anna Mae Winburn Orchestra. He then played in 1938 with The Alphonso Trent Sextet. Christian became captivated with the electric amplified guitar when he saw Eddie Durham, who played an early variation of the electric instrument. Christian chose to explore the electric amplified guitar. He soon mastered exactly what was then a brand-new instrument.

His reputation on the electric amplified guitar grew very swiftly and jazz enthusiasts came from everywhere to hear his new and pioneering guitar style. His amplified single note lines sounded sometimes like a tenor saxophone. Christian began to introduce numerous pioneering ideas into his jazz improvisations. He utilized augmented and diminished chords in a manner which in the not too remote future would change the world of jazz. His ideas were extremely individualistic and he was a great fan of Django Reinhardt's guitar approach. He enjoyed playing Reinhardt's improvised choruses, note-for-note, on numbers like "St. Louis Blues" and then include some of his own improvised choruses.

In 1939 while playing with The Leslie Sheffield Band he was heard by the influential jazz promoter, John Hammond. He had actually been encouraged by pianist May Lou Williams to travel to Oklahoma City to hear Charlie Christian. Hammond was so amazed he encouraged his brother-in-law, band leader Benny Goodman, to hear Christian. Goodman was originally reluctant to listen to the young guitar player but he eventually agreed to provide him an audition on August 16, 1939 in Los Angeles. It only took a couple of bars of Charlie Christian soloing on "Rose Room" for the fantastic clarinetist to recognize the young guitarist's remarkable ability. Christian was hired on the spot.

In the two years that followed Charlie Christian became a major influence, not only in The Benny Goodman Big Band and Sextet, but likewise on the history of jazz. After playing at night with the Goodman band, Christian would go on to play into the early hours of the morning at Minton's Jazz Club in Harlem. Here he played for hours on end, his creative improvisations straight up influencing other jazz musicians who visited the club including Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Kenny Clarke, Joe Guy, and others. A few of these historical jam sessions luckily were tape-recorded for posterity by Jerry Newman.



Tragically the late nights and Christian's love of the New York night life did not help his health. He had actually experienced poor health for a lot of his life. In the spring of 1940 he was checked in to a medical facility where the medical diagnosis revealed that he had consumption. Despite the medical professionals' warnings he failed to take proper care of his health. In July 1941 he suffered a major relapse and went into The Seaview Sanitarium on Staten Island. He died there in March of 1942.
