Problem: A
well run day care facility, but their site was very outdated, gave basic
information about their services, but the staff had no ability to keep their
content fresh and interesting.
Solution: A new look was created using our Freedom platform and the site
now has more photos of the children at play, updated registration forms, a new
lunch menu and events calendar. We also added eCommerce so parents can pay
their tuition online in the near future.

Problem: No web presence.
Solution: We designed a simple and attractive website using rotating javascript to show off authentic Korean and Japanese cousine. We also integrated google mapping, reviews and a facebook plug-in so they could keep in touch with their customers. Using our Freedom content management solution, allowed Kiku to update their menus and advertise specials instantly.
Problem: Needed a site that could be maintained by agency staff, could grow over time as our needs changed and one that allowed parents and volunteers throughout greater Nashua to sign up for programs online.
Solution: Using our Freedom content management solution, allowed The Youth Council and NH Teen Institute to update their contents and keep in touch with volunteers and members.

Problem: The site was badly outdated and the owner had no time to update it. The site style
did not lend itself to easy maintenance and updating.
Using our Freedom solution and with a new design in place, they now have the ability
to update their product pages, add new pages to list all of their high speed camera products, keeping their information fresh and appealing.
Problem: This customer had a poorly designed, unfinished site that used outdated software, with no functionality. They felt they were left at the mercy of a webmaster who was never available to complete the site.
Solution: We redesigned the website using our Freedom content management software, and now they have the ability to update it and add new photos to show off their work whenever they want it done.
Problem: IncrediBREW did not have the ability to sell gift certificates online and had to wait a long time for the webmaster to make changes to the site including updating videos.
We converted their existing design to Freedom CMS and added eCommerce so they could sell gift certificates online while saving valuable time and money. Created a youTube account and converted all their videos, embedded them into the website, while keeping the site fresh and
interesting to their customers.

Problem: No web presence.
We designed a very simple, pretty, yet calming looking site that has resulted in
bringing in new business for this local therapist. Having a website has really
helped grow my business, despite the economic climate, says owner Clara
Levesque of Nashua.
Problem: updating
the site was awkward and sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. The site style
did not lend itself to easy maintenance and updating of their menus and food
Solution: With a new design in place, an easy to edit website, they now
have the ability to update their menu pages, add new pages to list all of their
fun events, show-off their awards, display photos of their yummy food and turn
their site into an interesting stop on the highway.

We also implemented an online merchant account so they could accept payments online and ship orders to their customers.

Office gossip is unavoidable but it's not something you have to deal with everyday. The following are ways to help bring it to a minimum and ways to deal with it if you happen to be the target.
- Don't engage- People will gossip with you if you let them and especially if you yourself offer information you've heard around the office. Though it may be hard at first, don't be apart of the problem. If you simply must say something about someone else, focus solely on saying nice and positive things. When the hardcore gossips realize you won't stoop to the petty talk, they'll move on to someone else.
- Have a vague answer to get out of the conversation- Say things like, "I didn't hear that but are you sure it's true?" or "I'd love to be able to talk more but I'm swamped with that big project". If you can give a short and sweet answer to get out of talking more than you want to, you'll be able to fend off the gossips without outright ignoring them and thus giving them reason to make you a target next.
- Stay busy- Be too busy to be part of the conversations. It's better to be known as the person who works too much than a slacker and it looks better to management if you're not constantly spending your time talking with your co-workers versus working anyways. You'll probably get rewarded for your hard work which is more than what you'll get if you participate in the gossiping.
- If you're being targeted, find out who started it- You then have the choice of confronting them yourself or going to your manager or human resources to do it for you. This choice depends on what was said but try and to deal with the person directly to see why they're spreading gossip about you and find a way to ask them to stop. If they refuse or it gets worse as retaliation, go to your manager and tell them you tried to stop it yourself but you now need their help.
- Don't offer information you don't want everyone in the office to know- You truly can't trust anyone in the office no matter how trivial that nugget of information you offered. It can be used against you or cause problems you never considered with your co-workers. Only offer what you feel comfortable with every last person in the office knowing about you. Don't be too withholding of information but don't tell everything either.
- Be careful of who you choose to be your work friends- It's hard to know people's ulterior motives. They could simply want to be your friend to get information to use against you to your boss and thus increase their chances of being promoted and/or a raise. They could simply want to be friends to blackmail you to do their work for them. I'm not saying everyone in the office is a bad person but expect people to ultimately act in their own interests and not yours.
- Turn it back on the gossiper- Karma has a way of getting people who engage in negative behavior and by turning the gossip back on the originator you'll speed that karma up a bit. Turn it back in a positive way though. Spread nice gossip about them and once it gets back to that person they'll either go crazy on what the real reason of why something nice was said about them or they'll realize that they too can be talked about behind their back. Either way, it should curtail their habit.
- Make the team aware of the problem and the steps being taken to stop it- Send a team email saying this is a problem that needs to be addressed and stopped. This will make everyone on the team know that it's becoming a problem that will be handed over to the manager if you things don't improve. You may get some flack about it or even accused of being too sensitive but that would be the opportunity to share your feelings and for everyone on the team to share theirs too. If this does devolve into a fight or a back and forth accusation game, go to your manager and they can deal with this as a team and individual problem.
- Accept that some people will never stop gossiping- They do it for so many reasons that it could be impossible to truly know what drives them to say hurtful things about people they work with. You can't change them and they probably wouldn't even if you tried. Look at them as someone with a problem and try not to take their behavior personally because it most likely isn't about you.
- Ask these questions- Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? These questions will help guide you on what you should say about others. If they don't meet all three of these questions then don't say it.

Public Art Fund, NYC 2005
Grand Concourse, Bronx
Public Art Fund, NYC
Hand-painted, hand-rolled aluminum, soil, live plants
Each can approx. 50" x 38" diameter
Inspired by the practice in rural households of growing plants in empty grocery-store cans, A Can for All Seasons celebrates the practice of "making do" - of using something on hand to create an aesthetic object. Each of the Mexican brand name items selected represent a type of food that is indigenous to the New World: corn, chiles, chocolate, and tomatoes. Like many international imports, these brands (Jumex, La Morena, Herdez, and Morelia) are increasingly available to mainstream America. Here, they serve as canny observations, so to speak, of the global consumer culture, standing in for the exchange and movement of ideas, images, goods, and even people across borders and social hierarchies.

Fall Events: National Alpaca Farm Day and Holiday Photoshoots
National Alpaca Farm Day
Each year, the last Saturday in September is designated as National Alpaca Farm Day here at Jersey Shore Alpacas. (The celebration actually takes place all over the country at hundreds of
farms on both Saturday and Sunday, but we are open only on Saturday.) On this special day we open the pasture to visitors, so they can get "up close and personal" with the 'pacas!
This year, NAFD at Jersey Shore Alpacas is Saturday, September 28th, 2019! We'll be open from 10am-4pm and invite you to come out for some special fun with the alpacas, as well as our hay jump for the kiddos, our farm store for shopping, and more! All activities are free, but there is a donation box on the fence if you choose to give - it is always appreciated! Hope to see you on the 28th!
Holiday Photoshoots
Each year, the female alpacas (aka "the girls") like to get dressed up in holiday scarves and have their picture taken with their adoring fans! :) This is another opportunity to get "up
close and personal" in the pen for some great photos!
This year, we are planning Holiday Photoshoots every Saturday in December! Come enjoy the alpacas, and of course, holiday shopping in our farm store! Meeting the alpacas is free, but there
is a donation box on the fence if you choose to give - it is always appreciated! Hope to see you on one of the Photoshoot Days!

Simple and minimalistic, you've likely seen Daniel Wellington watches on celebrities, bloggers, and all over Instagram.

And once again I'm off to new horizons
Well as it turns out I just can't stay in one place for too long. I have now been back home for less than two months and spend pretty much all of my time working out how to get away again. I knew I couldn't stand working in an office but I also need to work somewhere because of money, the best solution would be a job where I would get around and see places while still working. During my trip around the world I met fellow photographers who told my about jobs on cruise ships, so that's what I tried to get as well. I applied at different cruise companies and went to interviews in Hamburg and Stuttgart. That's where I had to prove I knew how to take photos, speak English or am able to travel an extended period. A few days ago I eventually got lucky. I got a call from Aida, the largest German cruise ship company, asking if I was free to go on a ship on short notice. Of course I said yes and next week I'll be in Rostock for basic safety training and in two weeks I will be on a ship.
I'll be cruising the Baltic Sea and parts of the North Sea as the on-board photographer till October. While it might not be anywhere as exotic as the places I visit on my trip these are still destinations I have never been to and I'm looking forward to visiting them and taking even more countries off the list. The countries I'm going to see are: Norway, Sweden, Finnland, Denmark, Estonia and Russia. I believe it's going to be amazing. As all of this was on really short notice I still have a lot of things to do and organize so I can get on the ship in two weeks. I just wanted to give you all a quick update as to what I have been up to those last couple of weeks and of course what you can all look forward to. I'll be posting updates from my time onboard and about the cities I visit along the way, of course this time there won't be daily updates but I'll do my best to keep them fairly regularly. Have a nice weekend and I'll be back with more soon.

Some say medical care in America is deeply flawed. Some say it is the best in the world. On some level, I think both are true. But one thing is sure: Medicine is evolving. We are evolving with it. On July 1st, we will be joining Kalispell Regional Medical Center.
This is a decision that has been some time in coming. My staff, hospital administration and I have put a lot of time and care into crafting us into a new thing: a medical practice that embodies the best of solo private practice, while benefitting from the support of a larger medical center.
We want to be on the cutting edge. We want to be a part of the future, where care becomes more rational. Rational care means that duplication of services in the community is avoided. It also means that gaps in care are filled. It means that everyone can get the care they need when they need it.
To this end, our hospital is embarking on an expansion that will bring much enhanced services to women and children here and in our surrounding region. It is a very exciting time to be here and I and my staff are excited to be on board.
I'm lucky because I work at a hospital with a philosophy of service, teamwork and congeniality. My solo office has worked this way for 21 years and will continue to do so for at least another 15. Our patient care has been based on evidence based medicine, but it has, just as much, been based on quality relationships. My patients can rest assured that none of this will change.
Our billing will change and our overhead will go down. Eventually, I will have some call coverage, which will be more inline with current practice recommendations and with my health. The office, the staff, and our style of medicine and management will stay the same. There will still be music playing in the rooms and essential oils wafting through the halls.
I am proud to say that in the course of merging with the hospital, we have received numerous compliments about the way we have been doing things. For that, I have to give credit to our brilliant managers, Tara and Dorothy. I have been truly blessed with these and my other staff members past and present. My only worry is that that administration will find out how truly valuable these women are.
We look forward to seeing you in clinic and online as per usual.

It is almost a year since my last outfit post, and honestly I've been avoiding doing it for almost a year. One, I was getting bored of only doing outfit posts and it made me feel pretentious, and two I've always wanted a change in direction. However, after further reflection I realize that it is the way I present my ideas that made it superficial. Hence, today I am trying a different approach.

4 Inexpensive Ways to have a Productive Summer
Jun 18, 2018
Summer of 2018 would be the most hectic and busiest break of all my 17 years. Despite it being summer, school seem to swivel its way to what supposed to be a 2 months school break, instead of receiving awards for doing well in school, I was gifted with a handful of essays, reports and experiments to write. Thus, I am determined to make this summer a very productive 2 months. Yes, these points are quite unconventional and might not necessarily correlate, however these are the things I do to prep myself for a productive summer break.

About the book
It's never overdone, 'too much' or exxagerated when a top athlete has a blessure and takes rest. No matter how long the pause or how intensive the retreat is. It's often even logical and anyone would advise you to take a rest when you're physically strained.
But why is it that we're often referring to meditation, yoga, inner connection, therapy as being something wishy washy? It's as if hard work (yang) is our norm, where as working on inner health and 'just being' (yin) is something we just take for granted. There's no time for that.
At a young age we're wired to run for succes, find a job in which we can accelerate, grow, stand out. Once we're up and running it becomes normal to say we're busy. Our packed agendas are proof of our productivity and a road block to our spontaneity. Standing still and failing is still a sign of weakness, instead of an acknowledgement of growth.
Age 28 I realised I'm running since I'm 8 years old. First as a debater at the Child Council, later for the Dutch Youth Council and as a board member. At the same time I started my acting career. At first in theater (Turks voor Beginners) where I'd physically transfer myself through the country with an entire crew for years, later from a set location for daily TV shows (Spangas) and cinema screenings (Gangster Boys, 'N Beetje Verliefd). Coming across myself and the impact of media on someones personal life I decided to start a study, parallel to my work at WeTransfer. It was at this company I grew from being an actress to being an all-round marketing person.
Age 28 I realised my body and mind were trying to telling me I shouldn't run for a while. But being used to this pace for over 15 years (during my youth I got A-level education so I really had to be good at multitasking) I thought the sickness, the mind chaos, the temper were just things on their own. And to be fair: I had no idea where to start, to stand still.
With my pure faith in 'how things go' my path led me to a full stop: I took off to Bali and travelled with only myself and my backpack. Very Eat Pray Love, I know. Took the book with me as well. During my journey I started to bundle all the lessons I've learned: during my youth, my career and on the island as well. I decided to capture it all, for the moment I would feel lost again.
And as things go, my path crossed that of three amazing women and now: here's my book.
It's a bundle of my lessons learned and divided in three parts: my personal experience, a piece of theory and excersises. It's nothing scientific. It's not a self-help. It's my story and I hope it will have the same impact on you: to start a journey with yourself. Because you just rock.
Inspiration List
Thanks to Rushkoff's 'Present Shock' I was able to integrate a more productive and calm lifestyle, opening doors to a writers existence for a while. Here's a list of everything that helped me be and got me grounded to my inner core.
Moon Calendar
Sometimes I wake up feeling so anxious or sad without any clear reason. In my book I discuss ignoring emotion and how your body processes these unconsciously. With certain moon days our bodies react - at least that's my own empiric analysis.

What champs would you like to see interact with one another that haven't?

As far as I know they haven't interacted and honestly I can't even see how they would meet. Nonetheless I think it would be interesting to see them interact in some way. To me they seem like total opposites - bubbly girl with light magic and brooding guy with shadow magic - and that's part of why i'd like to see them interact. I can only imagine how quickly Kayn would get fed up with Lux lmao.

It feels good to be done moving and be able to do my personal photography projects again on weekends. I had heard that there were businesses that were taking over Alameda Naval Base and was curious how much it had changed over the last 15 years since I had last been there. The base itself shut down in 1997 and not many of the buildings have been kept up. Since the location itself was shady at best, I decided to go with a photography colleague and friend, you can check out his photography site at emorydunn.com.
The clouds were pretty epic this weekend, which works great for the visible spectrum but less so for IR and UV. I didn't even attempt to take any UV images since the cloud cover was just to thick. There was however just enough breaks in the clouds that IR came through with a nice rich contrast in the sky. There wasn't much life and light to do any kind of IR image study, so I desaturated most of the photos to just capture that old feel.

How Much Thiamine & Benfotiamine Is a High Dose?
Your body uses thiamine, also known as vitamin B-1, for numerous functions. A synthetic form of thiamine, benfotiamine, offers superior bioavailability, and physicians prescribe this compound for therapeutic purposes. There is no tolerable upper limit for thiamine or benfotiamine, although there are some standard doses. Consult your physician before taking any dietary supplements.
Thiamine helps your nervous system and muscles function properly and aids in metabolism and digestion. Because thiamine is water-soluble, very little is stored in your body and you can become deficient in just 14 days, according to the Mayo Clinic. Benfotiamine helps to prevent diabetic complications by increasing thiamine absorption in the liver and the blood, preventing tissue damage. However, benfotiamine has no effect on thiamine levels in the nervous system.
Dosages and Sources
The United States has established a recommended dietary allowance for thiamine. Men over the age of 19 should consume at least 1.2 milligrams per day. Females require 1.1 milligrams of thiamine per day. For women who are breastfeeding or pregnant, the recommended dietary allowance increases to 1.4 milligrams per day. Many foods naturally contain thiamine, but high doses of the supplement can be found in pork and organ meats. Other good dietary sources include legumes, fortified rice, cereal, wheat germ and bran.
High Doses
Although the recommended dietary allowance of thiamine is only 1.1 to 1.4 milligrams, most supplements contain 50 to 100 milligrams. What is considered a high dose of the supplement varies. There is no established upper limit of the supplements because they are water-soluble and your body removes any excess. According to the Mayo Clinic, studies have investigated the effects of up to 100 milligrams of thiamine, and this dose is considered safe. Benfotiamine has also been tested at 100 milligrams.
Consult your physician for a recommended dose. Your doctor may recommend a high dose of thiamine and benfotiamine if you have certain health conditions. Thiamine is generally safe and has few side effects. Some users experience allergic or hypersensitivity reactions to the supplement. Symptoms include rash, skin irritation or difficulty breathing. Doses above the recommended dietary allowance may cause fatigue or muscle relaxation. Talk to your healthcare provider or pharmacist before taking thiamine or benfotiamine because of potential interactions with certain medications and possible effects on pre-existing conditions.

The highest-ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee introduced a resolution on Thursday calling for the White House to issue a public apology to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) after a staffer reportedly made disparaging comments about the senator's health.
Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.) authored the bill, titled "Calling on and encouraging the White House to issue a public apology." He and co-sponsor Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) argue that McCain deserves to be treated with respect and dignity given his many years of service to the country.
The apology would be issued on behalf of communications aide Kelly Sadler, who reportedly scoffed at McCain's opposition to the nomination of Gina Haspel for Central Intelligence Agency Director by noting that "he's dying anyway." McCain was diagnosed with brain cancer last July.
"While this apology should have already taken place, it is never too late to apologize," the bill says. It adds that "every family deserves dignity and respect in the trying times of a loved one's declining health," and states that "our religious and social traditions call upon us to apologize for wrongdoing."
"The president, perhaps more so than any elected official in this great country, should practice the politics of decency," Cleaver said in a statement.
Although Sadler reportedly called McCain's daughter Meghan McCain to personally apologize, the White House has yet to issue any kind of formal apology.
Various senators on both sides of the aisle have expressed their disgust with the comment, some also calling for a public apology.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said he wished "somebody from the White House would tell the country, 'That was inappropriate, that's not who we are in the Trump administration. And John McCain can be criticized for any political decision he's ever made or any vote he's ever cast, but he's an American hero.'"
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) lamented that it was beyond his "comprehension" that the White House wouldn't issue an apology.
"I just don't know what goes on in that White House mentality for there not being an apology for that terrible remark."

It's Thanksgiving so I figured it would be very appropriate to blog about contentment. I mean, I was challenged this past week.
I was put in a position where I realized it was time for me to just take a stand. I decided I needed to let people know that I am seeking for a type of happiness that has nothing to do with how much money I make, how many friends I have, or whether or not I am married or have kids.
I mean...my life is far from the way I want it to be right now. But does that mean I am supposed to walk around being miserable all the time? I sure hope not but that is sometimes the impression I get from others.
I get the impression that if not everything is right in life that a person is supposedly supposed to be miserable and unhappy. I mean, financially speaking didn't we learn anything from this recession? I myself had a hard year and now I am appreciating the steady income I have now.
I mean, after all many people are still out of work. Those people who do have jobs or other source of income earned from freelance work or small business income should be very grateful. It is a miracle that people have their jobs right now in the first place.
So...anyway...all I can say is regardless of the fact that my life is not perfect I h ave learned one thing recently-particularly from this past recession which is still going on. Financially speaking, it is a miracle that any of us has work right nor it that anyone can find a job.
After all, the unemployment rate was up to 10% only a month ago, and this problem is still ongoing. All I can say is I can appreciate what I have because there are many people (believe it or not) way worse off than me even.
