The iQRite Interactive Touch frames meet the growing demand for a state of the art and affordable technology solution for the single touch and multi touch markets and are a recent development introduced during 2009.

The iQRite (TM) Kitset Interactive Touch frames overcome two significant issues associated with large size interactive surfaces. The first is size limitations followed by shipping costs.

International Marketing Director for iQRite Interactive, Kevin Andreassend, stated that “the launch of the touch frames is timely given the rapid increase in flat panel displays, demand for experiential marketing and touch is fast becoming a standard way for people to engage with digital content. The focus of iQRite is to now begin to maximize the considerable opportunities within the emerging interactive industry world-wide.”

The frames can be built to virtually any size due to the patented cutting design.

The iQRite Touch frames require no special tools for assembly or installation and by following a few simple steps they are easily assembled. The HID USB compliant frames are the only interactive fames that can deliver 10 points of simultaneous touch up to 52” diagonal and single touch up to 200” diagonal. Development of 10 point multi touch up to 150″ is scheduled in the coming months with a launch announcement still to be confirmed.

The interactive frames are covered by 19 separate patents and is the world’s first kitset touch frame designed for up to 200” diagonal (4m wide) and ideal for a wide range of applications and any surface or digital display technology. It is available in sizes from 10″ – 200″ size areas. The low profile frame bezel is only 11.5mm thick, utilizes universal outer frame attachments, modern styling, optional glass sheet panel delivers simplicity and reliability not previously seen in single, dual and multi-touch technology

Halifax, UK, – There are 20,000 new workers busy at healthcare equipment specialists Sidhil’s manufacturing site in Halifax, West Yorkshire – but these characters are focused on a very different issue than manufacturing products for the healthcare market!

Two Sidhil employees, Alastair Fry and David Lewis, share an interest in bees as keen apiarists. When they managed to obtain their bees despite the current scarcity, it seemed logical to house the bees on Sidhil’s secure site – safe, happy and with easy access to open moorland for the production of delicious heather honey!

With bees are currently undergoing a significant decline in their native population, Sidhil is delighted to be able to make a small contribution to the protection of one of nature’s hardest workers.

“Unprocessed honey, straight from the hive, has been used worldwide for millennia to promote healing,” stated Alastair. “What’s more, it’s antibacterial and antifungal, and can be applied to the skin to remove wrinkles and imperfections! Phytonutrients found in honey have been shown to possess cancer-preventing and anti-tumour properties. Even today, honey is used regularly directly onto wounds as a wound dressing.”

The sharp decline in the worldwide bee population is still puzzling experts, but bees play an irreplaceable part in the production of some of our most well-loved foods and Sidhil hopes to expand current bee numbers next year to support these creatures and their vital role in the food chain.

Developed by Sweeney Properties Ltd right in the heart of the Lake District National Park, this is the latest addition to the Lake District Inns & Cottages portfolio of high quality accommodation.

Located just off the A591 & only 5 minutes away from Keswick on the site of the Old School House and Youth Hostel at Legburthwaite near Keswick, it will be a stunning 40 bed Lodge Hotel. The Lake District Lodge will be opening in the early summer of 2010.

The design, by local award winning architects Savage & Chadwick, fits perfectly into the beautiful landscape, utilising local traditional building features and materials, whilst having a light and airy contemporary feel. This is achieved by a two story glass atrium at the heart of the building and the mixing of cedar wood cladding and local stone work under a Westmorland slated roof.

Company Managing Director Derek Sweeney says: “This is a really exciting project for us as it will add to our ability to cater for another sector of our clientele who are looking for high quality accommodation but do not want the full range of services provided by our Inns.

Derek Sweeney also quoted “over the last seventeen years we have seen many changes in tourism in the Lake District. Our Keswick and Grasmere hotels and cottages are all located in the heart of The National Park and are a very good barometer for measuring the ebb and flow of business over the years. The Lake District continues to be a superb holiday destination both for our domestic visitors and international guests alike. Even with the lure of cheap flights to most European and now international destinations we continue to be extremely busy with both our loyal regular clientele and new visitors.

New York, NY ( Pressreleasestudio ) December 29, 2009 – Real Men Do Cry named Two-TimeWinner in 2009 President’s Book Awards from the Florida Publishers Association in Recognition of Excellence in Publishing

The Florida Publishers Association recently honored the best books in 11 categories at the annual President’s Book Awards handed out in Sarasota, FL. Judges for the awards competition were professional librarians from across the state who specialize in scrutinizing books for excellence in all areas – readership value and appeal, writing, editing, layout, and design.

Real Men Do Cry: A Quarterback’s Inspiring Story of Tackling Depression and Surviving Suicide Loss by Eric Hipple with Dr. Gloria Horsley and Dr. Heidi Horsley was named the gold winner in the “President’s Pick” category and the silver winner in the “Adult Non-Fiction” category.

Real Men Do Cry is an incredible story of tragedy and triumph. Eric experienced a debilitating downward spiral after his 15-year-old son died of suicide. Bankrupt and jailed for drunk driving, Eric sought therapy for his own depression and was able to make an amazing comeback. Eric works with the University of Michigan Depression Center as an outreach coordinator, where he travels nationwide speaking to teens and adults about ways to recognize the signs of depression and risks for potential suicide.

Endorsements for Real Men Do Cry:

“This is an important book for everyone – fathers, husbands, sons, and the women who care about them. Eric’s message is powerfully delivered: men with depression need to seek help. It’s not only the courageous thing to do; it can save lives.”

– Robert Gebbia, Executive Director, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention

“Real men get depression. As a good quarterback, Eric decided to share his knowledge and passion in the belief that he could help explain the game plan to win this struggle…”

– John F. Greden, M.D., Executive Director, University of Michigan Depression Center

“This book is difficult to put down. Eric Hipple . . . tells the real deal about men and depression. Seeking help for depression is not a weakness or a character flaw but a sign of strength and empowerment.”

– Donna Holland Barnes, Ph.D., President of the National Organization for People of Color Against Suicide

Eric’s life’s work—supporting a program of suicide prevention is fueled by the conviction that, thousands of deaths can be prevented through recognizing the signs of depression and intervention. Eric is an example that everyone can rise above adversity and make a difference in the world.

“We’re excited to bring Eric’s story and mission of hope to the world,” this was a very inspiring book to write with Eric, commented Dr. Gloria Horsley, Host of ‘Healing the Grieving Heart” and Founder and President of The Open to Hope Foundation, sponsor of “Healing the Grieving Heart” and The Grief Blog.
