San Clemente, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/15/2016 -- Sovereign Health, a leading national provider of behavioral health treatment services, is pleased to announce the launch of a new article that's now live on www.psychologytoday.com: "4 Disorders That Resemble, But Aren't, Depression." This article, written and edited by Ralph Ryback, M.D., Courtney Lopresti, M.S., and Susan Logan-McCracken, M.P.W., shares four conditions that are commonly mistaken for depression, both by clinicians and the public.

As this editorial notes, mental illness is sometimes difficult to diagnose because it's diagnosed through checklists of self-reported symptoms. For this reason, mental illnesses including depression are sometimes misdiagnosed. According to a 2012 article in Current Psychiatry, 26 to 45 percent of patients referred for "depression" did not meet diagnostic criteria for a depressive illness. A 2009 meta-analysis discovered that general practitioners can only correctly identify depression in patients in 47.3 percent of cases and that many doctors diagnose depression in people who don't have it.

"As prevalent as depression is, it also shares symptoms with several other mental health disorders," said Rachael Mattice, managing editor for Sovereign Health. "The repercussions of misdiagnosis can range from mild to severe, which is why it's important to accurately inform readers of the common imitators and to encourage them to discuss evidence-based testing with their physicians."

Bipolar disorder, hypothyroidism, diabetes and chronic fatigue syndrome are conditions that are commonly confused with depression. Though a misdiagnosis is always possible, depression is real. The illness affects millions of people each year.

San Clemente, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/12/2016 -- Sovereign Health is pleased to announce the launch of a new article that's now live on www.psychologytoday.com: "Are Beer Goggles Real?" This article was written and edited by Ralph Ryback, M.D., Courtney Lopresti, M.S., and Susan Logan-McCracken, M.P.W. The existence of beer goggles has always been up for debate; but now, plenty of research shows some startling facts behind the beer goggles myth, and why people seem more attractive after a few drinks.

This new article follows two recent Sovereign Health editorials also posted on PsychologyToday.com: "No Horsing Around About the Human-Equine Bond: These animals shaped our history and, today, are the ultimate therapists" explores how for millenniums, horses have worked for humans, and today, they serve as the ultimate therapists; and "The Powerful Psychology Behind Cleanliness: How to stay organized — and reap the health benefits" highlights the psychology of cleanliness and organization and why it makes individuals feel good.

In 2003, a team of British researchers released a study affirming beer goggles are real. Alcohol impairs the ability to recognize symmetry, releases endorphins to the brain and causes psychological effects. Though the myth is real, and stories about beer goggles are entertaining, alcohol affects everyone differently.

This aircraft has old technology 50 watt HID lights with a less than desirable optics. We have replaced this with our new Dual Multi Light Array powered with our Next Generation BoomBeam HID lighting.

LoPresti BoomBeam HID for Cessna Mustang

Sebastian, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/27/2015 -- Newest Product From LoPresti for Cessna Mustang is a hit with Citation Operators. The new BoomBeam for the Citation Mustang, (CJ and M2 also), is a ground breaking advance in lighting technology. "We wanted to make a kit that blew the doors off of anything else on the market. This new set up does just that. This kit is simple and fast to install but uses the most advanced optics we have ever designed," says Tyler Wheeler, CEO of LoPresti Aviation.

"The Mustang kit utilizes our innovative Multi-Light Array technology with our highest wattage units. The MLA doubles the already very high reliability of BoomBeam HID while keeping the 'dim' or taxi light function," said David LoPresti, VP Sales and Marketing. "In taxi mode the factory light uses 40 watts, our light delivers 170 watts. In landing mode the factory light uses 100 watts, our light delivers 340 watts. When you couple these enormous increases in HID wattage with the industry leader in optic design you end up with a light system like no other. Never be in the dark again with a LoPresti BoomBeam for your Mustang."

The Mustang Kit doubles the number of lights on the aircraft PLUS each light is higher wattage than the stock lights. When coupled with the new reflector design the performance is outstanding.

The BoomBeam HID system offers better lighting, incredible range and a 5 year warranty. After the warranty lamps are easy and low cost to change. Lens are also field replaceable.

New lighting system uses patented MLA technology and eliminates fresnel lens losses

Sebastian, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/16/2015 -- LoPresti does it again. The new BoomBeam for the Citation Mustang, (CJ and M2 also), is a ground breaking advance in lighting technology. "We wanted to make a kit that blew the doors off of anything else on the market. This new set up does just that. This kit is simple and fast to install but uses the most advanced optics we have ever designed," says Tyler Wheeler, CEO of LoPresti Aviation.

"The Mustang kit uses our innovative Multi-Light Array technology with our highest wattage units. The MLA doubles the already very high reliability of BoomBeam HID while keeping the 'dim' or taxi light function," said David LoPresti, VP Sales and Marketing.

The Mustang Kit doubles the number of lights on the aircraft PLUS each light is higher wattage than the stock lights. When coupled with the new reflector design the performance is outstanding.

For the CJ the kit eliminates the Fresnel lens and allows for the lights to have a "direct view" down the runway eliminating the efficiency loss from the Fresnel lens.

The BoomBeam HID system offers better lighting, incredible range and a 5 year warranty. After the warranty lamps are easy and low cost to change. Lens are also field replaceable.

This kit is nearly a drop in update. Installation hours are very short.

BoomBeam Revealed Deer On Runway And Avoid A Potential Disaster

Sebastian, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/18/2013 -- LoPresti BoomBeam HID lights improve range and increase safety. Recently a customer had this to say about his BoomBeam HID lights.

Dear Curt LoPresti,

In early mid September of this year we were executing an early evening arrival with our brand new Citation Excel S Plus at Wings Field in Pennsylvania. It was just after dusk, very dark, with clear visibility. As we approached visually to runway 24 during our flair just over the numbers, our landing lights shined upon four deer about 1000 feet down the runway staring back at us! We were able execute a go around safely, asked for the FBO to chase the deer off the runway and come back around for a safe landing.

We had just completed the upgrade to the new LoPresti lighting system and I can say without a doubt that with the original lighting system we would have been on the ground with speed brakes out and no choice but to hit the deer.

We are a firm believer in this lighting system as a great safety tool on our aircraft, such a believer that I installed them on my personal Cessna 180.

Thank you LoPresti for saving us from a very unfortunate situation.

Safety Enhancement For General Aviation

Milwaukee, WI -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/31/2013 -- Cessna Aircraft Company's Milwaukee Citation Service center has just completed its first Citation X customer installation of the LoPresti Next Generation HID BoomBeam Lights.

The BoomBeam HID lighting system, which is 500% brighter and consumes up to a 3/4 less power for operation than the stock lighting equipment, reduces operator and owner maintenance costs while significantly reducing the amount of time an aircraft may be grounded due to lighting failures.

"It is far better to see and be seen,' Said Jeff Riley, Tempus Aviation's chief pilot "The LoPresti Next Generation BoomBeam HID provide a quantum leap forward in landing and taxi light output. BoomBeam lights are a tremendous safety enhancement for all night operations either on the ground or in the air."

"Aircraft equipped with BoomBeam lights are much easier for other traffic to see from a greater distance and through a wider arch," said Curt LoPresti, President LoPresti Aviation, "This is extremely comforting in crowded airspace."

BoomBeam HID Landing And Taxi Lights Improve Safety

Sebastian, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/12/2013 -- LoPresti Aviation is pleased to announce the FAA has granted a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for the BoomBeam™ High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lighting Systems for the Cessna Citation 680 and 750.

"We are very excited to have our next generation taxi and landing light systems available for nearly the entire Citation line," remarked Curt LoPresti, President of LoPresti Aviation." By collaborating with corporate flight departments and by utilizing engineering technology that is designed to meet the specific needs of flight crews, we have successfully created optimal lighting for safe and reliable operation."

HID technology generates an extremely powerful light source by passing electricity through a specialized lamp containing pressurized xenon gas. The result is an intense light, mimicking the color of natural sunlight. This type of system is commonly utilized for research and industry to simulate sunlight. The pressurized HID lamps are sealed, making them waterproof, weatherproof, shock resistant and highly durable.

The HID technology is very energy efficient, consuming only a fraction of power, in comparison to fluorescent and incandescent lights. In addition, they produce less heat, as more of their energy is converted to visible light rather than heat.

LoPresti engineers maximize this technology by designing aviation-specific reflectors for best overall illumination. Chief Engineer John Wertz explains: "Essentially, we manipulate the light to reduce wasteful dissipation and design beam patterns to improve illumination direction and concentration specifically to meet the needs of the flight crew. As a result, the light pattern is more intense and is longer reaching than other aviation lights".

About LoPresti Aviation
LoPresti Aviation is a family owned and operated company specializing in aircraft modifications. They engineer, design, and manufacture product from their headquarters in Florida. LoPresti has been awarded hundreds of supplemental type certificates for increasing speed, efficiency, and lighting.

Sebastian, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/25/2011 -- "We've been very buttoned up this winter," said LoPresti Aviation CEO Rj Siegel, "quietly working on new technologies for CIRRUS and CESSNA. Now it's time to open up and showcase what we've done."

Rj Siegel's product push actually comes from the customer. He continually polls them for their input. "We have six new performance products for Cirrus owners and a dynamite new cowl for Cardinal owners. All these products will be on display in the LoPresti Sun N Fun booth (32, 43) for further customer comments.

LoPresti is never 100% satisfied with anything they make. Their "culture" is one of constant improvement. "In that regard, we've redesigned our best selling Cirrus "IceSkatesTM" for even more speed, better brake cooling, and an enlarged access door. It's already the number one sought after accessory by Cirrus owners," said Siegel. "But we couldn't leave it alone. For us, performance is a moving target. Get better or get left behind. We don't ever intend to be left behind," Siegel said, smiling.

Other new designs include their TriTips for Cirrus SR20's, drag reduction flap hinge covers, reworked factory wheelpants (named "CoolSkates™"), and a production cowl for the DeltaHawk Diesel/Cirrus. Cardinal owners have had a strong hand in the design of a new Cardinal Cowl and Cessna lighting system "nicknamed" Dolly Parton, that will debut at the show.

The LoPresti Award ceremony was held on the opening day at Airventure 2010

Oshkosh, WI -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/29/2010 -- A Virtual HUD (Heads Up Display) developed by Bill Steele was awarded the Roy LoPresti Innovation in Aviation Award on opening day of AirVenture.

The low-cost HUD projects critical information on an aircraft's propeller, putting the images "right in front of the pilot's eyes," said Steele, who also has developed the Wingman, a portable display that is a complete EFIS.

Steele (left) explained he had a "Eureka" moment while playing with a laser pointer at his father's house during a Thanksgiving visit. When he shone the laser on the ceiling fan, he realized that he could use his airplane's propeller to project information. It took him 18 months of "trial and error" to develop the HUD, which features full-color displays.

Virtual HUD is the third winner of the LoPresti award, which was designed by the late Roy LoPresti. Previous winners include DeltaHawk's diesel engine and Bede Corp's retractable wheel pants. Winners must meet three criteria, according to Rj Siegel, LoPresti CEO (pictured right): It must be innovative; it must be practical; and it must offer a user experience is that "seamless."

"Bill Steele's Virtual HUD passes all these tests with flying colors," Siegel said.

Sebastian, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/27/2010 -- LoPresti Aviation has done it again. LoPresti now has an X2 upgrade kit available for Hawker aircraft that have previously installed BoomBeam HID. According to David LoPresti, Marketing Director, "The original BoomBeam kit improved lighting for the Hawker so much that we are on the majority of the fleet. With the release of the X2 Kit we have really upped the ante. The original BoomBeam was a quantum leap in output, now the X2 is 50% brighter than the original."

Customer feedback is always the best source for proof or disproof your product's acceptance. At LoPresti Aviation, engineers set out to increase exterior lighting on the Hawker 800 series. Judging from the customer feedback, the product continues to exceeded all expectations.  

Mark Jones, Director of Maintenance for Cozzens and Cudahy Air, found out first-hand how impressive the LoPresti X2 BoomBeam Lighting upgrade is for the Hawker 800s.
"I have to say this about the LoPresti BoomBeam HID light system for the HS125: They work great. Our Company was one of the first to try the original and now with the X2 System, all that needs to be said is WOW. Both sides were installed in one day. The output of the lights is at least 50% brighter than the original BoomBeam kit and that kit was a giant improvement over the standard factory light."

"The units have all the harness made up and the instructions are easily followed for the installation process. This product produces no heat. So, in the past years we have never had to replace a lens due to heat issues. This was a common occurrence with the original factory lights on the Hawker. The BoomBeam lights are reliable and we have not had a failure since the original installation."

"Since I am a Crew Member and Technician, I see the BoomBeam Mod from both sides. They succeed in all areas: Reliability, Maintainability and (most of all) Cost Effectiveness. Each time a light is replaced the Wing Lens must be removed and resealed -  this is downtime and the BoomBeams have eliminated this issue," reported Mark.

Mark Jones is the Director of Maintenance on the Hawker 800XP operated by Cozzens and Cudahy Air, working on this type of aircraft for 20+years. He also crews the same aircraft, operated worldwide. A member of the National Business Aircraft Association Hawker Technical Committee, he has earned the Master Technician on the Hawker 800XP and the Master Technician with the Management Endorsement from Flight Safety. Mark also holds a Current Flight Safety Pro Card as Pilot in Command on the Hawker 800XP,  with 5000 hours operational experience as a pilot on the Hawker Series Aircraft.

Glenn is known as "Dr. Glenn" of Love Doctors fame

Sebastian, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/07/2009 -- First Saturday Fly-in Event will be held Saturday, November 7th at our new facility in Sebastian. LoPresti Aviation will guest host speaker local resident Glenn Curtis. Many of you know him as Doctor Glenn of the Love Doctors radio show. What many may not know is that the Love Doctors Charities is a cornerstone element of the Love Doctors show. The charities have raised well over a million dollars that has been spent on good works in our local community.

The full breakfast buffet begins at 8:15 am with steaming hot cups of coffee and everything from pancakes, eggs, & bacon to fresh fruits and delicious muffins. Breakfast is followed by Glenn's presentation at 10-11:30 a.m. This month's event will benefit Glenn's  personal charity choice, The Love Doctors Charities. (A $5 donation is requested)

In addition to the annual toy distribution, the charity provides a wide range of community assistance throughout the Treasure Coast.  This year the charity has helped a family that lost everything in a fire, offered rent assistance to a single mother, sponsored two high school air force cadets, aided a senior citizen battling cancer giving area teachers school supplies and annually sends several kids to diabetes camp.

Come to First Saturday and hear the great stories and behind the scenes laughter that happens on the Love Doctors show. Glenn has great stories that could not be shared live and if you have never been to a Love Doctors event you are in for a real treat. Woven into this tapestry of joviality will be stories of the stewardship and giving that has made the Love Doctors a force to be reckoned with not just in radio, but in our community at large.

Doctor Glenn got the "bug" for radio in 1976 & 1977 while he was a junior and senior at Vero Beach High School. He took broadcasting classes and spent lunch hour as a d.j. on the school radio station. After high school, he attended broadcasting school in Sarasota, and returned to the Treasure Coast to work at WTTB, WFTP, WSTU and WAVW (Wave Country 92.7) While at WAVW, Glenn met Rich Dickerson and teamed up to form "The Love Doctors". From there the team went to WKGR (The Gater) and on to WZZR, where we have been since 1991. A few years later, we formed Love Doctors Charities to help residents of the Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches.

The Love Doctors Charities has raised more than $1,249,000 and the 2008 annual Xmas toy drive raised $250,000 dollars and provided toys to over 9,000 area children.

This complete kit will give aviation's top performing business jet an increase in safety and a dramatic cost improvement.

Sebastian, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/10/2009 -- LoPresti Aviation announces the FAA STC'd approval for BoomBeam™ HID lights on the Citation 560. This complete kit will give aviation's top performing business jet an increase in safety and a dramatic reduction in maintenance costs.

"Every Citation pilot knows that Citation flights are measured in 'Bulbs per Hour', with one of six lights burning out with high-cost frequency." According to Curt LoPresti, CEO of LoPresti Aviation, "Safety is aviation's number one agenda. We know that the addition of BoomBeam HID lights to all aircraft greatly improves their conspicuity and safety. Lights on 24/7 is now possible with our filament free, low power draw system. Replacement bulbs are a thing of the past. LoPresti has taken this out of the equation by offering their BoomBeams™ with a 5000 hour/5 year warranty. Don't take our word for it," says LoPresti, "listen to what Philip Francis, Citation Pilot says about his LoPresti BoomBeam System."

Like any pilot who has flown any 500 Series Citation, I have often found myself on short final "second-guessing" if I skipped the checklist item "Landing Lights -> On", causing me to momentarily move my hand off the throttles and glance down to flip the switches On, only to realize that they were already On...!!

Needless to say, flying any 500 Series Citation into uncontrolled airports (the raison d'etre for corporate aircraft) at night always brings tense moments as you strain to see any "dim" silhouettes or objects that might appear on the runway just in front of the aircraft as the original lights would not permit much advanced warning.

I finally had an opportunity to "test" your new HID lights that were installed on our Citation 560 Ultra, with a flight landing late in the evening.

WOW...!!!

Just to try and give you a slight representation of my "NEW" reality..... everything that is in the path of the new HID lights is now brighter and whiter than in the midday sunlight..!!

The lights are so bright and so white in contrast to the dim "yellow" original lights that, prior to crossing the threshold while still 20 to 40 feet in the air, I can see clearly the entire length of the runway confirming that it is free of any objects or animals (i.e. deer etc.).

In addition, for increased visibility and safety I now use the recognition lights and landing lights for every takeoff and landing during the day without the expense and concern of having to constantly replace one of the six lights which would frequently become unserviceable, (burnout) due to vibration encountered during flight and on the ground causing a filament to break.

My conclusion after installing your HID light kit on our Citation 560:
"All of our night operations are much safer by greatly increasing pilot visibility and awareness while decreasing pilot stress.
Reduced downtime and non-scheduled maintenance costs for repetitively replacing the original incandescent light bulbs."

Thank you for developing this great product.
