UP completes cover design for Celiac Resource Guide
March 23, 2009

Celiac Disease is an auto-immune disorder that causes the body to damage the small intestine in reaction to the consumption of gluten (wheat, rye, barley). Even a small crumb can damage one's small intestine for up to 6 months. Those with the disease have a very difficult time adjusting their diets as it is extremely difficult to identify all the items that have gluten in them.

Julianne Karow's husband, Roy, was diagnosed a year ago – and they have been on a journey ever since to make their life normal under these new conditions. Julianne had to stop using her favorite lipstick, because it contained gluten. Kissing her husband literally became dangerous to his health. Julianne tried to find guidance and advice, but little was to be found. Living in a small Wisconsin community made it even more difficult - so she turned to the internet.

Six months ago, Roy challenged her to take all the information she had amassed and turn it into a book. The Celiac Resource Guide is that book. This book is a personal resource guide for those with celiac disease who struggle to solve everyday challenges. In addition to information that will help those newly diagnosed, it will provide references to many websites where they can further educate themselves on this new journey. The Celiac Resource Guide includes suggestions for a gluten-free pantry, where to find gluten-free food products, gluten-free medications, how to travel on a gluten-free diet, and much more.

UnParalleled, LLC is proud to have had the opportunity to partner with Julianne on this worthy and important project. If you would like to purchase a copy of the book, please go to Julianne's website at celiacresourceguide.webs.com. Julianne donates $1 of every purchase to Celiac research.






UP completes design of Logo, Website and Maps for South Pole Station ASMA5
March 03, 2009

UnParalleled, LLC is excited to announce its part in a project with global partners and global implications.

Environmental Research and Assessment (ERA) (Cambridge, England) commissioned UP to design the identity, website and operational maps of the Antarctic Specially Managed Area #5 (ASMA5) located at, and around, the Amundsen-Scott Station at the South Pole. The project consisted of creating a unique identity for this international treaty entity that represented its scientific impact on climate research. The ASMA5 website (to be launched in a few months), will be a central location for different groups, including scientists planning on working at the pole, to find information regarding the mission of ASMA5 and what life is like at the South Pole.

The 4 maps generated by GIS experts at ERA (to be released when the website launches), were designed to be quickly and easily read by all those needing to undestand not only the overview of operations at the pole, but to specifically inform those that work at the pole about various details including potentially hazardous zones.

This project was created under the specific direction of the U.S. National Science Foundation in conjunction with Raytheon Polar Services Company.
