			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2012 has literally blown past us here at //futurestech. What a ride so far. Last year saw the business double in size. 2012 has doubled again, and we are only five months into the year. What an amazing feeling. We counted up earlier and over fifteen clients have joined with us.  And what a client list.  Some of you, and you know who you are, are doing some pretty amazing things.  Some saving the world, some entertaining the world.  All of you have one thing in common. You are inspired by your work and want to make a difference. And are doing just that.</p>
<p>So things here have been hectic. New team members for a starter. Welcome Jane &#038; Natalie into our fold. Making a huge difference already. And a new website in the making. We want to showcase some of our creative output in a more engaging way. So, with a little help from Jodi, Travis and Paul, we shall be upping the ante with a website that shows, in just a little more creative way, how we are helping our clients.</p>

<p>Taking advantage of an installed base of over 18 million geared motors globally, we have recently upgraded their <a href="http://www.parvaluxdirect.co.uk" title="Parvalux Direct" target="_blank">e-platform</a> to provide a more substantive platform to grow their on-line presence.</p>
<p>The site is built on the <a href="http://www.storesprite.com/" title="storesprite" target="_blank">storesprite</a> e-commerce platform which provides state-of-the-art features such as: -</p>
<p> &#8211; Search engine friendly URLS<br />
 &#8211; Bread trail navigation<br />
 &#8211; Integrated payment service with payment gateways<br />
 &#8211; Discount codes<br />
 &#8211; W3C valid store front<br />
 &#8211; Automatic tax calculation / multiple currencies<br />
 &#8211; Customer rating and reviews..<br />
 &#8211; Coupons and discount coded…</p>
<p>One of the key benefits of the platform is the content managed pages via the WYSIWYG Editor which allows even inexperienced administrators to operate the on-line store with ease.  Features such as product cloning, meta content editors, multiple currencies are handled easily from a robust and simple editing function.</p>
<p>With a clean front-end designed in the new brand presence, the new site is performing well.</p>

<p>Or so we thought.</p>
<p>A true story. About a real Dolphin. &#8216;Winter&#8217;. Rescued. And helped by a real-life Prosthetist, Kevin Carroll. An Irish-American legend in the field of prosthetics. VP for US-based Hangar, Kevin was the real-life inspiration for Morgan Freeman&#8217;s film character.</p>
<p>Brought to the silver screen, a Dolphin&#8217;s Tale shone the light on the world of Prosthetics.  </p>
<p>Artificial limbs to you and me.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a challenging thought. The number of military Veterans returning from active service with multiple limb loss is a sobering statistic.  With an increasing number of lives saved on the battlefield, a typical Veteran amputee is young, active and fit.  For those returning to civvy life, adventure is still an essential ingredient to life.</p>
<p>There are numerous Prosthetists across the globe who have spent a lifetime&#8217;s work to develop tremendous expertise in prosthetics to help these young men return to a life of independence. The same skills that helped Winter simply live.</p>
<p>Remarkable achievements. And achievements that help innumerable individuals regain their independence and live a life once again with adventure.</p>
<h2>Inspiring, don&#8217;t you think?</h2>
