Kannada film Raaj, the Showman directed by Prem starring Puneet Raj Kumar [ Images ] and Priyanka Kothari is a technically good film with fantastic music. Puneet Raj Kumar has shouldered the responsibility of the entire film with his brilliant performance and fights. But the film suffers. And that is mainly because of director Prem's half- hearted work.

The film belongs to Puneet who shows tremendous energy while performing a role that lacks consistency. Fights have always been his strong point but they have been overemphasised in Raaj. He has also tremendously improved in his dubbing work.

Harikrishna who has composed the music and Krishna who has worked behind the camera have done their work remarkably well. Hari Krishna's background score is also top class. The way Krishna has shot the two songs -- Hey Paro and Poli Ivanu -- deserves appreciation.

Raaj is made with huge production values, lilting music, top class cinematography, lovely choreography and some superb fights just required for a superstar. It has everything except a good script (by director Prem himself) and a credible story line.
His idea of having a song with the five heroines of Dr Raj Kumar has failed to make any impact.

To be fair to Prem, there are certain sequences that are good like the hero's introduction scene in the prison and the twist at the interval.

The story goes like this: Muththuraj who stays happily with his parents in a village, has only one desire; to be an actor. He comes to the city to become a junior artist in films. An associate director who has full confidence in his talents starts his new film with Muththuraj as the hero. But the film's heroine Parvathy walks out. Sensing that his chance to become a hero will be under a threat, Muththuraj starts pestering her to work with him.

Meanwhile, one of her relatives who has underworld connections wants to marry her. She is forced to escape with Muththuraj. The second half deals with how Muththuraj saves Parvathy and realises his dream.

Puneet has given a brilliant performance as Muthuraj. Priyanka's lack of talents is more than compensated by her skin show. Muni and Aadi Lokesh score well as the villains. Shankar Aswath shines in a small role.

All in all, Raaj is just an average film that will be remembered only for Puneet's performance and the songs.

NEVER Pay for useless SEO software – Google will get you UP!

Search Engine optimization Training and Tips

What is SEO?

Should I use any SEO software?

Can I do it myself?

Are these questions running on your mind to get more hits on your website/blog? Then just go on and read this hub. It is for you. :)

Tried all Search Engine Optimization software and ended up with nothing else than ZERO-Pocket money! Do you belong to this category? This is the case with most of us. I have read a lot of books on SEO and tried many SEO Software. All that they have to tell you is some basic concepts of SEO. Yes I lost some hundred dollars buying SEO software that promised ‘TOP 5 GOOGLE RANKING in 5 Days’, ‘1 Million Hits a Day’ etc. I feel I wasted a lot of money to get the same piece of information. I would like to share some of those tips that really helped be to bring some traffic to my websites and blogs. After reading some SEO books and trying SEO software what I feel is that only Google can get you a Top Ranking. Yes Only Google, I mean only search engines. If you have Quality original content then to get a top ranking, that is top position in search engine, all you have to do is little bit of home work. If you have good content then your home work is 75% done. Then there are some BASICs that you should follow. Always remember SEO rules keeps changing but basics remain same.

SEO plays vital role when you don’t Quality content or when you are having an article/content that has high competition in market. Basically there are two types of Optimizations

· On-Page Optimization

· Off-Page Optimization

On-Page Optimization

1. Set a theme - Make sure your title tag, meta-content, headers, and content all match up. Choose meta-tags carefully.

2. Use h1, h2 tags etc. in your headers. Search engines place more relevance on header tags h1 for main heading, h2 for sub-heading etc.

3. Your content should be unique and original. An article should contain atleast 500-1500 words. This step is the most import SEO step which alone can bring massive web traffic.

4. Use inner links. Inner links mean link to your own page. Example ‘HOME’, usually we give our site address as hyperlink. Use as many inner links as possible. Use inner links. Linking increases SEO ranking I mean Search engine ranking.

5. ‘KEYWORD’ – THE MAGIC WORD in SEO is all about keyword. If you want higher ranking in search try to optimize for keywords that has less competition. For example never go for keyword ‘DRUG REHABILATION’ instead you try to optimize for keyword ‘DRUG REHABILATION SUCCESS STROIES or TRUTH’. Deatiled keyword analysis is required. More on Keyword research.

6. Use these keywords frequently in your article. Keyword density should be near to ‘4’. If you have total 100 words then you should use keyword in your article four times.

7. Use BOLD for KEYWORDS and link them appropriately.

8. Use mixed Singular and Plural form of keyword – Bat, Bats, Bat’s

9. Use Miss-spelling like for bat- bst, bay, bar, bats, batd, bata etc. Don’t laugh you will get lot of traffic of it! This SEO technique can bring good amount of hits to your website. So deliberately make spelling mistakes.

10. Use keyword for FOLDER Names. Suppose you are saving drug Rehab Centre.html then place it in a folder named ‘Drug_Rehab_Center’. Folder Name under which your files lies should be named appropriately. Keyword naming for folders and files increases your chanes to get up in search engine ranking. Serios SEO leaners may laugh at these steps. But the are the fine SEO techniques.

11. Name your Images properly with keywords. Always make use of and tags should contain your keyword. Image SEO trick will also help you to get better position. In Google search there is exclusive search for images. So naming images with keywords brings traffic to your site.

12. Create a text document called robots.txt in the site root.The text to place in it should be: User-agent: *
Disallow: /

13. Create Sitemap. Site-map will make crawling easy. Search engines will get all your links in single page. The benefit of sitemap is that if your sitemap gets crawled by search engines then your whole list of webpages will be listed in search engine. How to get indexed in Google with in 24Hrs?

These are the main On-Page optimization tips. These tips and tricks are seem simple but they very powerful as well. SEO takes time. It takes time to bring steady traffic to your site. How to get quick traffic, definetly SEO is not the answer. Search engine optimisation are applied for long term benefits. Both On-page and Off-page optimization play 50-50 role in SEO. Now I will explain some of the off-page optimization tricks.

Off-Page Optimization

1. Links to your Page: Get as many back link as possible as possible. To get back link just email webmaster. Most of the webmasters will agree. Write a Link Request Mail. If you get links from page having PageRank6-7 then it is better.

2. Adding Your Site to Directories.

3. Create a video channel on Youtube etc and add a link to your page

4. Make use of community sites like Facebook, myspace etc

5. Twitter is the hottest Tool right Now. Get as many as followers possible.

6. Please don’t over do things. You will fall in SEO SPAM and will be penalized by search engines. Be careful!

7. Post your links in FORUMS.

If you build a website based on these tips surely you will get atleast some thousand hits per Day. There are more other methods to generate Free traffic to your site.

I know all these will take time, nearly 3-4 Months. To speed up things you can use a Paid Software SEO ELITE. Its value for money. If you use it properly the you will get million hits per day!

Hope you enjoyed reading this small note on SEO! I really enjoy sharing my knowledge with others.

Pune A 48-year-old man and a 50-year old woman succumbed to swine flu in Pune on Wednesday afternoon, taking the toll in the deadly pandemic to 17.

Gautam Shelar, 48, a driver, was brought from KEM hospital on August 10 to Sasoon Hospital in a critical condition.

In Pune, Nita Meghani, 50, who was admitted to Sasoon Hospital in a critical condition four days ago, died on Wednesday afternoon.

With the latest flu deaths, the toll in Maharashtra due to the viral infection has risen to 13 deaths.

In Pune, the worst hit city in Maharashtra, A 33-year-old man suffering from swine flu died on Wednesday morning at a government hospital in Pune.

Balu Kuland was diagnosed with H1N1 and died at the Sassoon hospital, a senior official said.

A 38-year-old doctor Rupesh Gangurde died of the viral infection at the Nashik civil hospital on Wednesday morning, hospital sources said.

He was admitted to a private hospital on Monday after he complained of vomitting and fever, they said. His blood samples were sent to Pune for testing after which the report tested positive for H1N1.

Gangurde was brought last night to the Nashik civil hospital where he died at 0230 hours, they said.

in Pune, Shrawani Deshpande died at 2.30 AM on Wednesday morning following severe lung infection caused by the virus, attending doctors said.

Shrawani, a resident of Kothrud area, was admitted to Sasoon hospital in a critical condition on August 10 after being referred from Sashwat private hospital, they said.

So far, the flu has claimed a total of 14 lives – one each in Ahmedabad, Vadodra, Thane, Chennai and Thiruvananthapuram, two in Mumbai and seven in Pune.

As the Centre and the states intensified their battle against the infection, central teams have been despatched to all states and Union Territories after Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad chaired a meeting of 35 additional secretaries and joint secretaries drawn from various ministries who would fan out across the country.

He briefed the teams personally yesterday before they were dispatched to the state capitals.

While 14 additional secretaries would go to the big states, the joint secretaries would got to other states and Union Territories. The teams would stay there for two-three days and would return by August 15.

Azad also spoke to all Chief Ministers and told them to step up preparedness.

The health minister requested the Chief Ministers to chair the first meeting of these teams so that on-the-spot decisions are taken for swift implementation, a senior health ministry official said.

The Central teams will discuss with state governments new guidelines issued by the ministry of health and family welfare with record to capacity building issues such as identification of labs for testing and hospitals in private and public sectors for screening, diagnosis and treatment of swine flu patients.

ISRO launches beta version of 3D mapping tool, Bhuvan
Minister of State in the PMO Prithviraj Chavan launched the beta version of the geoportal www.bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in at a day-long workshop of the Astronautical Society of India on "21st Century Challenges in Space - Indian Context."

Bhuvan Online Mapping
website: http://bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in/ [link]

The web-based tool allows users to have a closer look at any part of the subcontinent barring sensitive locations such as military and nuclear installations.

The degree of resolution showcased is based on points of interest and popularity, but most of the Indian terrain is covered upto at least six meters of resolution with the least spatial resolution being 55 meters, an ISRO official said.

IN ACTION: Saina plays a shot against Russia's Anastasia during the World Badminton Championships in Hyderabad.

Hyderabad: India's Saina Nehwal defeated Anastasia Prokopenko of Russia 21-10, 21-17 to advance to the pre-quarterfinals of the World Badminton Championships in Hyderabad on Wednesday.

It took World No 6 Saina a mere 27 minutes to dispatch the feeble Russian challenger.

She will next face 10th seed Petya Nedelcheva of Bulgaria who beat Aiying Xing of Singapore 26-24, 19-21, 21-16 in a tough encounter.

Saina, who was down with chicken-pox a week back, showed no signs of tiredness even though she committed a couple of unforced errors in the second game.

Prokopenko was no match for the Indian who engaged her Russian opponent in long rallies before going for the kill.

Saina, India's best medal hope in the tournament, said she had done her homework for the match.

"I was playing against her (Prokopenko) for the first time. She also plays doubles and yesterday (Tuesday) I came to see her match. I was ready with a plan," said Saina.

"She is a very good net player and is good with the dribble. She has a good smash. So, I decided to go more for rallies than quick-finishing smashes.

"I was not feeling tired so that's a good sign. But tomorrow (Thursday) I face a tougher opponent and will have a better idea of my fitness level," added Saina, who got a bye in the first round.

On the pressure to play at home, Saina said she is not bogged down by expectations.

"I am not feeling any pressure, the crowd was good and it will only help the sport in the country," she said.

Saina kept herself ahead in the first game and never looked in trouble. She opened up a 6-3 lead and then grabbed four points at 12-8 to race to 16-8. She was in command from 16-10 and took five points in a reel.

The second game was a bit close as Saina's errors allowed Anastasia to nose ahead 7-6. But Saina managed to break free from 13-14 with some deceptive drop shots.

"Because of the drift from one end, the shuttle was coming faster. And on the other side it's slow. But it's better than it was in the Indian Open when there was more drift," she said.

In the men's doubles, Akshay Dewalkar and Jishnu Sanyal lost to 16th seed Vitalij Durkin and Alexandr Nikolaenko of Russia 21-17, 13-21, 18-21 in the second round.

We are providing N95 mask in ready stock for Swine Flu, In the case of emergency also, we are trying to give our best rates for helping people. Brands available with us :-

Mask-O

"This is the first clinical trial to show a positive effect of masks on preventing the transmission of respiratory viruses," says Raina MacIntyre, an

epidemiologist and head of the School of Public Health and Community Medicine at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, and lead author of

the study published today in Emerging Infectious Diseases, the journal of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) .

The N95 mask was recommended by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organisation (WHO) as the minimum respiratory protection required from the bird flu virus back in 2003.

n a major setback to Adani Powers, the principal chief conservator of forests (PCCF) has rejected its proposal for operating a captive
coal mine in the vicinity of Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) for its 1000 MW power plant in Gondia, home town of civil aviation minister Praful Patel.

Additional chief secretary (revenue and forest) J P Dange on Monday confirmed that his office had received a comprehensive report from the PCCF, saying Adani Powers should not be allotted the 1750 hectare coal block. "We have received the report. It will be placed before the forest minister Babanrao Pachpute as well as chief minister Ashok Chavan for their opinion,'' Dange said.

A senior official said the PCCF has made it clear that if Adani Powers is granted permission to operate a captive open-cast coal mine for its proposed thermal plant, it will have an adverse impact on the environment, particularly on the TATR near Chandrapur.

As per the rules, once a proposal for allotment of a coal block is submitted to the Centre, it seeks the PCCF's opinion on its impact on the environment before further processing the application. In its proposal, Adani Powers has submitted a comprehensive mining plan, rehabilitation plan and wildlife conservation plan to the ministry of environment and forest.

A week ago, Pachpute had told TOI that till the PCCF submits the report, it will be premature to comment on the on-going agitation against the multicrore power project, while Praful Patel had taken the view that a right balance should be struck between environment and development. "We expect that the CM and Pachpute will take a decision on the PCCF recommendations within a week and submit the report to the Centre,'' a senior forest official said.

Barring Praful Patel, all MPs from Vidarbha led by Congress MP Vilas Muttemwar have opposed the proposal for allocation of the coal mine block on the ground that its operation would cause colossal damage to the rich biodiversity in and around TATR and seriously endanger the very existence of tigers in the reserve, rated as the best in India in terms of tiger population.

Generally speaking, the last piece of news leading up to the release of a high-profile rhythm game is the announcement of a complete songlist. So when Activision unveiled the last batch of songs from Guitar Hero 5 a couple of weeks ago, you'd be forgiven for thinking there wasn't much left to show in this latest installment of the seminal rhythm franchise. More to the point: You'd be forgiven, but you'd also be wrong. A few days ago, Activision held an event here in San Francisco to show off some of the big new features it has been keeping under wraps these past few months.

The big news of the night was the announcement of forward compatibility with previous Guitar Hero games. If you take a look at your copy of Guitar Hero: World Tour or the more recently released Smash Hits, you'll see an ID code printed on the back of the manual. You can take that code, enter it into the Guitar Hero 5 Import Songs menu, and download an unspecified number of songs from that game after paying what Activision calls a "nominal relicensing fee" (don't get too worked up; Rock Band 2 made users pay $5 to import songs from the original game). So far, only World Tour and Smash Hits are confirmed, but it looks like other games from the Guitar Hero library will probably be supported as well. This feature is said to work the same in Band Hero and Guitar Hero 5.

The compatibility also extends to downloadable content originally released for Guitar Hero: World Tour. Activision says 152 of the 158 World Tour DLC songs will be supported in Guitar Hero 5. What you'll need to do is download a free update, which adds on new features, such as band moments and vocal star power, that weren't present in World Tour. These songs will then be playable in all the major game modes in Guitar Hero 5, including Career mode and the new Party Play mode that we detailed in our last look at the game.

Another big focus for the evening was the unveiling of modifications made to the music studio that debuted in World Tour, which allows players to create their own songs for the first time in the series. It has been heavily revamped in a number of ways, starting with GH Mix 2.0. Neversoft wanted to take the original studio and make it more accessible from a usability and interface standpoint while adding even more depth for advanced users. In terms of making the system easier to use, all major functions (like record) have been mapped to the five colored fret buttons, which means there's a lot less scrolling around to highlight the option you want to select. You can also rewind and fast-forward through your song using the whammy bar, going slowly by pressing lightly or speeding through the song by holding it all the way down. Additionally, you can go into the new Pattern mode to swap around giant chunks of your song, moving entire verses, choruses, and bridges as easily as you would move colored blocks on the screen.

Neversoft has also devoted a lot of attention to making sure the instruments have a more authentic sound when you're recording songs. As an example, guitar work is now velocity sensitive, which means the studio can tell the difference between a light and heavy strum, reflecting that in your ability to record quiet, subdued parts versus louder parts. You can also add note expressions to guitar riffs, such as bends, slides, and vibrato. If you don't like a particular note, you can edit each specific note with a variety of parameters without rerecording that entire riff. Professional instrument samples have been added to every instrument as well, creating a much more realistic tone than the one offered in World Tour.

If GH Mix 2.0 is for advanced users, then GH Jam is for casual ones. In this mode, you can select a musical style, then jump right in and either play with a complete band made up of your friends or by yourself with automated instrument backing parts provided by the game. You can choose from 14 musical styles that influence the sound of the instruments, including punk, classic rock, heavy metal, and even NES-style chip tunes. You'll get a visualizer on the screen that matches your musical style as you play, including psychedelic colors for classic rock and 8-bit sprites for chip tunes.

A few bright spots prove that this clumsy, unsatisfying film tie-in could have been much better.

The Bad

• Constant story interruptions mess with the flow
• Oversensitive collision detection makes for clunky movement
• Unattractive visuals.

Have you ever conversed with someone who just went on and on about some dumb thing or another that you couldn't care less about? You know, the droning, talkative bore who makes you want to say, "Will you just shut up already?" G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra's story is the game equivalent of that same party pooper, interrupting the action so often with poorly written dialogue snippets that you can't get into a rhythm. The battles in this top-down shooter aren't anything special, but the gunplay has a simplicity that will initially appeal to fans of games like Commando and Ikari Warriors. It's too bad that Rise of Cobra so often puts the brakes on its own forward momentum by pointlessly pausing the action over and over again with story exposition outlined by hideous digitized portraits of the G.I. Joe film's stars.

Before each mission in The Rise of Cobra, you choose one of six Joes and then proceed to clear jungles, deserts, and snowdrifts of the Cobra terrorists that stand between you and finishing the game. The Joes' attacks vary, but as a rule, you'll go in with a standard ranged weapon, a supply of grenades or other explosives, and a limited-use special attack, such as Heavy Duty's burst fire. Then, you proceed to run around blowing stuff up using only the D pad and face buttons. It doesn't feel as slick as it should: You can't move and fire simultaneously, and the limited eight-way shooting afforded by the D pad may make you long for the smoothness of a touch-based scheme (the system's touch capabilities go unexplored). Yet when the action is given room to breathe, The Rise of Cobra is fun in the way that many top-down shooters are fun. You mow down legions of baddies, fight against a few interesting bosses, and even wreak havoc in the occasional tank. It isn't bullet hell, but the missions do have some amusing and challenging moments that are enjoyable to tackle.

The missions also have some maddening moments. Every enemy and object has a layer of invisible padding surrounding it, and you'll sometimes face sizable numbers of enemies in cluttered spaces. This weird collision detection makes it easy to get hung up on buildings, girders, walls, and other enemies, and your attempts to tumble away from your foes are often hindered by unseen cushions of air. These cushions seem to exist to provide room for taking cover using The Rise of Cobra's useless automated cover system, which allows you to hide behind certain objects and take less damage. The cover mechanic feels clunky and imprecise, however, so rather than enhance the gameplay, it just gets in the way. It's better to give objects a wide berth and stick to running and gunning, which becomes monotonous but is mechanically sound.

Then there are the endless story snippets. You'll be gunning along happily for 30 seconds, only to have the action halt and a bunch of silly expository dialogue appear on the touch screen, along with unsightly representations of the actors in the G.I. Joe movie. The plain, charmless visuals and clumsy animations don't take advantage of the hardware's capabilities as it is, but these relentless breaks are doubly difficult to look at. It makes the single-player campaign choppy and inelegant; after a while it's hard not to let out a groan every time there's a pause. There are times when the story doesn't cause the action to stop, but the dialogue frustratingly covers up the minimap on the lower screen and sometimes appears in the middle of battle, which means you'll be too occupied to read the dialogue anyway. The story isn't great on its own, and the poor manner in which it's told is disruptive.

Die, pixilated fiends!

If you stick to The Rise of Cobra's limited but likable local multiplayer options, you'll be able to leave the stumbling narrative behind and concentrate on the action. It's unfortunate that every player needs his or her own copy of the game, but if you have three friends with cartridges, you'll find a simple but amusing team-focused experience in here. The mechanical issues with cover and collision detection are still present, but the multiplayer levels are less cluttered, and thus those flaws are less of an issue. There are three modes in all, but you should ignore the lackluster Team Battle mode and jump into either the Warhead or Defend the Base modes. Warhead is a capture-the-flag variant that requires the player returning the warhead to the opposing base to remain in place for a number of seconds until the base explodes. This extra vulnerability is a nice twist that keeps the attention focused directly on the warhead carrier. Defend the Base is also enjoyable and requires one of the two-man teams to destroy a series of objects while the defending team protects them. The mode is entertaining, though it's hard to tell how close you are to demolishing these objects due to inadequate visual feedback. We also experienced moments of slight but noticeable lag in every match we played.

If you don't have any friends with copies of the game, you'll have to stick to G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra's inconsistent, poorly paced campaign. The core action is based on a proven formula, so it works when the rest of the design gives it the chance. Unfortunately, the additions to this formula--copious written dialogue and an unnecessary cover system--drag the game down. That's too bad, because this film tie-in's potential was greater than the seemingly rushed product that landed on retail shelves.
