			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear entrepeneur. Perhaps we partake in the same trouble.</p>
<p>We have a smashing internet site, but little or NO visitants. Now what is a internet site without traffic?<br />
It&#8217;s similar to an old volume lying full of junk which nobody uses anymore.</p>
<p>What we require is traffic and dozens of it. And would it not be swell if we can get it for FREE?<br />
So what must we do more or less to get this FREE TRAFFIC? You know, theres lots of Article Directories circulated in cyberspace which give Article Authors the chance to post their articles there for free with a free oneway to their websites. </p>
<p>All you have to do is to register with these Content Directories, activate your account, create a penname and then add your articles. And this is precisely what I used to do. But let me tell you (not that you are not mindful of it), IT IS A boring undertaking. I mean, to contribute one Article to ALL these directories manually can demand days or even weeks of difficult work.</p>
<p>I marveled if there was&#8217;nt a computer program at hand which could aid me with this project and found rather a few article submitters available. The only trouble was that some Article Distributors was not free and those that were had some limitation (like it will post to only a certain number of article directories). You&#8217;ll have to buy the full edition to get the most out of them.</p>
<p>Others could not post to the right Categories at the Article Directories ( it will post an article about cats under business for example). Now that is very unproductive.</p>
<p>So commenced my travel to attempt and create a program that could just do everything the others lacked.</p>
<p>• POST TO 950 ARTICLE DIRECTORIES UNIVERSAL(list is developing).</p>
<p>• AUTO-CREATE YOUR ACOUNT AT ALL THESE DIRECTORIES.</p>
<p>• AUTO-CREATE YOUR PENNAME AT THESE DIRECTORIES.</p>
<p>• AUTO-POST YOUR ARTICLES TO ALL DIRECTORIES ON OUR LIST.</p>
<p>• HAVE THE POWER TO AUTO-DELETE YOUR PENNAME AT THESE DIRECTORIES</p>
<p>• HAVE THE POWER TO AUTO-EDIT YOUR PENNAME AT THESE DIRECTORIES</p>
<p>• WILL AUTO-DELETE A SPECIFIC ARTICLE AT ALL THESE DIRECTORIES SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO DO SO.</p>
<p>• HAVE THE POWER TO EDIT YOUR ARTICLE AT THESE DIRECTORIES.</p>
<p>• HAVE THE POWER TO SHOW YOU STATISTICS OF YOUR ARTICLE AT ALL THE DIRECTORIES.</p>
<p>• WHILE CREATING YOUR LOGINS, YOU WILL BE SHOWCASED ONSCREEN WITH THE   OUTCOMES.</p>
<p>• WHILE CREATING YOUR PENNAME, YOU WILL BE SHOWCASED ONSCREEN WITH THE OUTCOMES.</p>
<p>• WHILE POSTING YOUR ARTICLE, YOU WILL BE SHOWCASED ONSCREEN WITH THE OUTCOMES.</p>
<p>• WHILE EDITING YOUR ARTICLE, YOU WILL BE SHOWCASED ONSCREEN WITH THE OUTCOMES.</p>
<p>• WHILE EDITING YOUR ARTICLE, YOU WILL BE SHOWCASED ONSCREEN WITH THE OUTCOMES.</p>
<p>And guess what? I achieved it. And now I want to share it with you at absolutely NO COST.</p>
<p>Perhaps you imagine that you can&#8217;t compose an Article? Let me tell you. YOU ARE incorrect!!!! I had the same opinion at first, but what are you reading now? My article of course. You can write about anything under the sun.<br />
You can even write an article about how you created your first website, or how you struggled to get traffic.</p>
<p>The sky is the boundary. Below you will find a link to my site &#8220;Super Article Submitter&#8221; where you can Auto-Post your articles in no time ABSOLUTELY FREE OF CHARGE!!!</p>
<p>One more thing. You are free to use this article on your website provided that it stays unchanged and the links in the resourcebox is live, search-engine friendly links.</p>
<p>DO NOT STEAL. IT IS NOT WORTH IT.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most of us know the value of good insurance, whether it&#8217;s life, home, auto or health. Medicare is now offering insurance coverage for prescription medicines to help seniors and disabled persons with the cost of their medicines.</p>
<p>Those who join a drug plan will pay a monthly premium (just as they do now for their Medicare doctor visits), pay a part of the cost of their prescription medicines and may have a deductible, depending on the plan they join. But unlike some types of insurance, people with Medicare cannot be turned down for prescription drug coverage.</p>
<p>On average, people with Medicare spend over $2,800 per year on prescription medicines, more than $1,500 of which they currently pay out of their own pockets. With the new Medicare coverage, the money that an individual will spend out of pocket is expected to drop to about $850.</p>
<p>Even those seniors who currently take few medicines and spend little money will have the security of knowing they&#8217;re protected for future prescription drug needs. This coverage is important because health care needs generally increase with age-the chance of having more than one chronic health problem doubles by the time beneficiaries reach 80 years -as does the need for prescription medicines. About 85 percent of Medicare beneficiaries who are ages 65 to 74 use at least one prescription medication.</p>
<p>Health care needs are unpredictable and people with Medicare who don&#8217;t initially sign up will have to wait until the next calendar year even if their health care needs change. When they do sign up later they will pay more for the coverage because there is a penalty-a higher premium-for those who do not already have equivalent coverage. Paying higher premiums the longer you wait is the same way life insurance works.</p>
<p>The new Medicare prescription drug coverage provides access, protection and peace of mind, just like every other type of insurance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you ready for the newest technique for cellulite treatment? This is something that the beautiful Jane Jetson would be mighty proud of to say the least.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been waiting for the quick fix of cellulite treatment then your time looks like it may have arrived my friend.</p>
<p>It seems that as quickly and easily it is to get your eyes in tip top 20/20 shape, it&#8217;s just as easy with the new technique of laser surgery for cellulite removal.</p>
<p>Yes maam, how happy are you to hear this glorious news?</p>
<p>What&#8217;s more, the &#8220;FEL&#8221;, or free-electron-laser will very likely be used to blast away acne as well in the next couple of years.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what is happening so far though. The FEL beam can be produced very specificly, to heat and break down fat tissue, without damaging other body tissue.</p>
<p>In an article in The Times (Online) by Sam Lister, the good news on the new cellulite treatment was stated like this:</p>
<p>&#8220;Using the FEL, which is much more powerful than a conventional laser, the scientists were able to choose selected laser wavelengths that could heat up the fat, which was then broken down and excreted by the body&#8221;.</p>
<p>Another huge benefit will be when the technique will be used to break down plaque in arteries. In fact, the cellulite removal<br />
may be the secondary benefit in the grander scheme of it all don&#8217;t you think.</p>
<p>Before you get excited however, it looks like this treatment won&#8217;t be hitting the local strip malls just yet. It&#8217;s being successfully tested on pig fat (not a bad place to start actually).</p>
<p>But, don&#8217;t fret. There&#8217;s still a lot that you can do to treat cellulite on your own. Not as easy as zapping it away, but hey, you appreciate more what you actually have to work for.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello all you wonderful people out there. Do any of you know anything about organic body care? Do any of you use organic body products?</p>
<p>I happen to know of some very famous people who did. Even the beautiful Cleopatra used organic products. She would take her bath in a tub of milk in order to relax and keep her skin soft. In the 1800’s Miss Josephine, Emperor Napoleon’s ex-wife, busied herself with organic gardening. Every variety of roses known at the time could be found in her exquisite garden.</p>
<p>Between then and now a lot of chemicals have been developed that are used in foodstuffs and cosmetics. However, for me, personally, nothing can take away from the thrill of discovering natural uses for herbs and flowers and learning about natural cures.</p>
<p>Take roses. Rose petals can be used for their scent in perfume, deodorant, air freshener, soaps, potpourri mixes, and even for eating. Do you remember mom’s remedy for a cold – leaning over a bowl of boiling water with your head covered in a towel and inhaling? Just add some organic rose petals to the boiling water and inhale that fragrance. The same water can then be poured into spray bottles and voilà, you have a natural air freshener.</p>
<p>Still we have come a long way since the time of Cleopatra and Josephine. As you probably know, there is always more than one way of doing things. You and I each have our own preference. What’s good for one person is not necessarily good for another. Let’s face it, not everyone is going to take a milk bath. Today you can go out and buy all kinds of organic body products including organic body lotion. You choose. You decide, You have fun.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are several requirements for patients of gastric bypass surgery. This is to ensure that the major surgery isn’t performed unnecessarily or on those with very high risk factors. Be aware that gastric bypass is a major surgery and you will be in much pain, experience many changes in your body and have to adapt to a new lifestyle.</p>
<p>Initially a gastric bypass surgery is only an option for those with a body mass index of forty or higher. Your body mass index is a general measure of whether your body weight is healthy for your height. A BMI of forty or higher indicates that you are obese and would benefit from a gastric bypass.</p>
<p>A surgery of this kind is not available to everyone with a body mass index this high though. You need to have tried for sometimes up to two years to lose weight via alternative methods, such as dieting before a doctor will consider this last resort method.</p>
<p>In addition a doctor will consider the following requirements when discussing this surgery with you. Whether you have been obese for five years or more. They will make sure you do not have a history of alcohol abuse or an untreated mental condition such as depression. As these conditions can make it harder for you after your surgery and may be part of the root cause for obesity in the first place. You should be relatively healthy in order to undergo the surgery and have a reasonable chance of survival and success. You should also be between the ages of eighteen and sixty five. Any younger and a doctor will insist that you keep trying other methods of weight loss. Any older and an ethical and experienced surgeon will begin to question the plausibility of survival for the patient.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Often times called ophthalmic surgery, eye surgery, is a surgical procedure that is preformed on the eye or eye region. This type of surgery, due to it&#8217;s nature, is typically performed by an ophthalmatolgist; hence the original name ophthalmic surgery.</p>
<p>There is several different types of eye surgery. The most common are described below:</p>
<p>&lt;b&gt;PRK (PhotoRefractive Keratectomy)&lt;/b&gt;:<br />
PRK surgery is when the most oustide layer of the cornea is scraped away manually and an excimer laser is used to reshape the tissues located underneath the surface of the cornea. After the corrective eye surgery is done the outer layer must be grown back, in order for the eye to be protected again. Due to this, PRK is known for having a large recovery time. There as some advanced methods avaiable today that use a different excimer laser which vaporizes the epthithelium, however it is not widely used.</p>
<p>&lt;b&gt;LASEK (Laser Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratomileusis)&lt;/b&gt;<br />
LASEK is advanced form of PRK(see below) that uses an alcholic solution on the epithelium which softens the surface before it is removed. With this procedure the epithelium can be replaces once the surgery is finished.</p>
<p>&lt;b&gt;Epi-LASEK&lt;/b&gt;<br />
Epi-LASEK is similar to LASEK however it uses a type of barrier to preserve the epithelium layer, which is then replaced after the surgery. The reason for this extra step is to try and help cut down post surgery discomfort, and increase the amount of time required for healing.</p>
<p>As you can see their is several different methods of laser eye surgery; These aren&#8217;t even all of them! If you think that eye surgery might be right for you, or are interested in obtaining more information it is recommended to consult with your local physician and eye doctor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Heat Sickness heat stroke, exhaustion and fainting (syncope)can happen when a person becomes too heated and dehydrated.</p>
<p>Sunburn may be present, too, but not necessarily. For fevers, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, trouble looking at light (possible cornea burn) see healthcare provider or head to emergency room ASAP.</p>
<p>Here are some sunburn relief &#8211; remedies for you:</p>
<p>For sunburns, drink plenty of fluids. And make them clear and cool.</p>
<p>Either apply cool (not cold) compresses or soak in cool (not cold) water. Do not use soap since it can dry out your skin, causing more discomfort.</p>
<p>Do NOT apply butter or grease or anything like similar to burns, even if you think those old wives tales are worth trying; they are not because they hold in the heat and will increase the pain.</p>
<p>Products For Sunburns</p>
<p>To help with sunburn pain and discomfort, try adding about a cup of baking soda or a cup of Aveeno to bath water.</p>
<p>Moisturizers without alcohol can help with itching, especially aloe vera-based products, which are also helpful for either applying directly to burns or adding to water; check product labels and see which can be cooled first in the refrigerator before applying for more soothing affect.</p>
<p>Blisters For Sunburn</p>
<p>Blisters, use antibiotic cream and sterile gauze wrappings to keep clean and uninfected. Do not burst or force blisters open.</p>
<p>Check Your Skin!</p>
<p>For your safety, regularly check your skin for possible problems areas. If you notice a mole or other spot on your skin with any of the following qualities, contact your healthcare provider for advice and possible testing: bleeding, growth (larger than pencil eraser), uneven edges, flaking or itching.</p>
<p>The best way to avoid sunburn is prevention!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Though LASIK is a safe and effective procedure, with the latest technological equipment at its disposal, it is simply not suitable for everyone. There are several factors that might preclude the possibility of LASIK surgery for a particular patient. One such crucial aspect is pregnancy.</p>
<p>A woman is not suitable for undergoing LASIK surgery if she is pregnant or nursing. In addition, a woman who has conceived of late or is expected to be pregnant within the following six months is advised to postpone surgery. Typically, a nursing mother should defer for at least two months in the wake of the nursing period.</p>
<p>Pregnancy entails significant hormonal changes, which typically cause dramatic fluctuations in a woman’s refractive state. As a result, a preoperative examination conducted during pregnancy might not reveal a truly accurate refractive error. Therefore, the measurements are all askew and so is the determined amount of surgical correction to rectify the refractive error. Consequently, the patient is operated upon based on a false reading and the induced correction is inappropriate. Moreover, if the refractive fluctuation occurs during recovery from eye surgery, it would be impossible to decipher whether the change in vision is due to pregnancy or LASIK surgery.</p>
<p>Another prominent reason to decide against eye surgery during pregnancy is that the surgery is believed to worsen the dry eye condition in pregnant women. LASIK also has potential complications, which might add to the discomfort faced during pregnancy. Furthermore, the medication administered to counter complications may be hazardous for the fetus in a pregnant women’s womb or may pass to an infant through lactation in the case of a nursing mother.</p>
<p>You must adhere to the advice of your eye surgeon as to when you may undergo surgery, bearing in mind your pregnancy issue.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Living aids are a small device that spend their time in most cases inside and behind the ear of an individual who has a hearing impairment. The small device is used to amplify noises to increase the probability of an individual who is hard of hearing in distinguishing a sound. Technology over the past decade has greatly increased both the effectiveness of hearing aids as well as greatly reduced the obtrusiveness of a hearing aid. It used to be that an individual would have to wear an &#8220;ear trumpet&#8221; or &#8220;ear horn&#8221;, which was a larger and very noticeable way of aiding hearing. Now many times you won&#8217;t even notice that a hearing aid is being used until you look closely as they are very compact in size, and will often times blend right in with the ear of an individual. With the increased technology in batteries and power conservation, their is no longer a need for cables and pocket battery packets, instead the battery is concealed in the device itself! It&#8217;s like James Bond, but this device is actually useful.</p>
<p>There is several different types of hearing aids, which will vary in many ways among size, cost and power. Before making a choice on any different model or function, I would first recommend talking to your medical professional. Always put functionality ahead of all of your other choices. A hearing aid that looks great, but doesn&#8217;t help your hearing, isn&#8217;t going to be much of an aid at all. Same with one that you are constantly changing the battery out of,etc. Functionality and practicality goes along way in the purchase of a hearing aid.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You take care of your feet by washing them regularly.</p>
<p>You change your smelly socks at least once a day. Your shoes are well kept. But in spite of all this, your feet stink. Sometimes the condition is so bad that by simply removing your shoes, people around you know that you have smelly feet. The condition can be embarrassing, especially in public. By following some simple tips, you can take care of your feet and avoid the problem of smelly feet.</p>
<p>The common home remedies for foot odor are:</p>
<p>• Apply tea to the area: Using a soak made from tea bags and applying it to your feet will eliminate the problem of smelly feet. This is because the tannic acid from tea tans the skin. Take a couple of tea bags and boil them in a pint of water for 15 minutes. Then remove the tea bags and pour the pint of this strong, hot tea into a basin or a large pot and fill it with two quarts of cool water. Soak your feet for 30 minutes daily for seven or ten days and you will not experience the problem any longer.</p>
<p>• Use acne remover: If your feet really stink very badly, you suffer from toxic sock syndrome. In this case, you should look at your soles. If they are whitish in colour with tiny pits, you are suffering from the condition called pitted keratolysis. The microorganism that causes this condition is the same one that causes acne, you can use over-the-counter acne medication with 10 percent benzoyl peroxide.</p>
<p>• Go for an antiperspirant: There are special foot deodorants to remedy the problem but they can be quite expensive. But you go in for any underarm antiperspirant, which is a cheaper alternative. Go for a roll-on that has aluminum chloride hexahydrate as the active ingredient. Use it twice a day. But avoid aerosols since all their smell is dissipated in the air.</p>
