HERTFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND, September 11, 2010 (Press-News.org) Displaysense, the UK's leading supplier of display products, has recently seen a surge in customers ordering display items with the intention of using them for small, short-term projects within empty high street lots.
The company first noticed the wave of customers using empty sites when large orders of mannequins and vintage busts were ordered for 24 hour exhibitions set up in these vacant, yet premium high street sites.
A rising number of people organising fashion and art exhibitions have been ordering from the UK based display company after securing deals with site owners to stage small events. As long term contracts are still not presenting themselves, the idea of letting the sites out to these small businesses appears to have become more appealing. The blight of ugly, derelict outlets has long been an issue that councils are keen to see the back of. Previous attempts to rekindle the high streets have involved setting up fake shop facades to give the false impression of a healthy economy.
Steve Whittle, marketing director for Displaysense, commented: "Often the locations of the empty stores are occupying the most retail friendly sites that are poised to get the most amount of traffic. It's no wonder that people are leaping at the opportunity to set up short term ventures with no obligation to sign long term contracts. Displaysense has supplied a wide range of products to be used in these projects; from mannequins for fashion shows to collapsible display cabinets for small exhibitions.
"It's been fairly hectic - these people are looking for a low cost, effective and attractive way of shop fitting that doesn't require interior designers or any activity that will take too long. We've made sure we have high stocks of items that are being used for these short term projects so we can match the client's deadlines. Time is of the essence with these types of venture so it pays to be prepared and help equip these shops as quickly as possible."
Perhaps the biggest high street name to disappear in the meltdown was Woolworths. Up to 40% of Woolworths stores across the UK are still standing empty, many of them occupying sites too large for smaller businesses to occupy.
This news follows appeals from magistrates for the government to set-up small courts in under capacity shopping centres to deal out swift justice on minor incidents. It seems councils are now keen for any type of business to be undertaken in these often run-down buildings.

OU study on genetics in fruit flies leads to new method for understanding brain function
2010-09-10
A team of University of Oklahoma researchers studying neurobiology in fruit flies (Drosophila) has developed a new method for understanding brain function with potential applications in studies of human neurological diseases.
The work is carried out in the laboratory of Bing Zhang, a professor in the OU Department of Zoology, using fruit flies as a model for understanding what happens in the human brain because they share thousands of the same genes with a human.
Zhang and his students use a 'reverse engineering' approach to understand how the brain works. "If we ...

Mount Sinai researchers analyze impact of chemical BPA in dental sealants used in children
2010-09-10
Researchers from Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that bisphenol A (BPA) released from some plastic resins used in pediatric dentistry is detectable in the saliva after placement in children's mouths. BPA is a widely used synthetic chemical that has been associated with changes in behavior, prostate and urinary tract development, and early onset of puberty. The findings are published in the current issue of Pediatrics.
Reins containing BPA are commonly used in preventive and restorative oral care. Children often have their teeth sealed with a dental resin containing ...
