BIRKIRKARA, MALTA, October 08, 2010 (Press-News.org) The offices, which are due to start opening in the next month, will bring the total number of deVere offices in Western Europe to seventeen.
deVere's latest operation will be overseen by industry expert, Richard Bayle. Bayle joined the investment and insurance profession in 1971 and worked in senior management positions for large companies such as Prudential and Siddalls. Before joining deVere, Bayle served as a board member at IFG Financial Services. Bayle was asked by deVere to set up offices in France and at the same time, given his experience and knowledge of the UK IFA market, to take over the management of deVere and Partners (UK) Ltd.
Mike Coady, deVere Group's Regional Manager for Western Europe, said, "We are pleased to provide a presence in France and believe that this will quickly become a key market for us in light of the demand we've received for our services in the region to date. Richard Bayle is a fantastic addition to the company and I am confident that his experience and profile position him as the ideal candidate to take on this new challenge."
Richard Bayle commented, "I look forward to this new experience. This is a great opportunity to be part of a truly global financial services company, advise on some of the best products in the marketplace and work alongside qualified industry experts."
The deVere Group also mentioned plans to open further offices in Western Europe by the end of the year.

San Diego Supercomputer Center participates in 1st Census of Marine Life
2010-10-07
After a decade of joint work involving 2,700 researchers from 80 countries, the world's scientists – as well as the general public – can now access the Census of Marine Life, which provides the first in-depth look at the more than 120,000 diverse species which inhabit our oceans.
The Census of Marine Life initiative, started in 2000, is the result of one of the largest scientific collaborations ever conducted , the result of more than 540 expeditions and 9,000 days at sea, plus more than 2,600 academic papers published during that period.
The just-released census paints ...
Vaccine extends glioblastoma patients' survival in phase II trial
2010-10-07
HOUSTON - A vaccine that turns the immune system against brain tumor cells bearing a genetic mutation that drives the most aggressive form of glioblastoma multiforme improved survival of patients in a phase II clinical trial, researchers at Duke University and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center reported today in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Eighteen newly diagnosed patients who were vaccinated after undergoing standard treatment - surgery followed by radiation and chemotherapy - had median overall survival of 26 months compared with 15 months for 17 ...
Microfluidic devices advance 3-D tissue engineering at Stevens
2010-10-07
A research team, co-headed by Dr. Woo Lee and Dr. Hongjun Wang of Stevens Institute of Technology, has published a paper describing a new method that generates three-dimensional (3D) tissue models for studying bacterial infection of orthopedic implants. Dr. Joung-Hyun Lee of Stevens, and Dr. Jeffrey Kaplan of the New Jersey Dental School, are co-authors of the research. Their paper, appearing in the journal Tissue Engineering, demonstrates a physiologically relevant approach for studying infection prevention strategies and emulating antibiotic delivery using 3D bone tissues ...
UW-built device reveals invisible world teeming with microscopic algae
2010-10-07
It just got easier to pinpoint biological hot spots in the world's oceans where some inhabitants are smaller than, well, a pinpoint.
Microscopic algae are called phytoplankton and range from one to hundreds of microns in size – the smallest being 1/100th the size of a human hair. But as tiny as they may be, communities of the phytoplankton south of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, are big players when it comes to carbon: They take up 50 percent of the carbon dioxide going from the atmosphere into the oceans there.
"We thought that had to be a mistake at first," ...
Research suggests volcanoes nixed Neanderthals
2010-10-07
New research suggests that climate change following massive volcanic eruptions drove Neanderthals to extinction and cleared the way for modern humans to thrive in Europe and Asia.
The research, led by Liubov Vitaliena Golovanova and Vladimir Borisovich Doronichev of the ANO Laboratory of Prehistory in St. Petersburg, Russia, is reported in the October issue of Current Anthropology.
"[W]e offer the hypothesis that the Neanderthal demise occurred abruptly (on a geological time-scale) … after the most powerful volcanic activity in western Eurasia during the period of ...
Volcano fuels massive phytoplankton bloom
2010-10-07
Advocates for seeding regions of the ocean with iron to combat global warming should be interested in a new study published today in Geophysical Research Letters. A Canada-US team led by University of Victoria oceanographer Dr. Roberta Hamme describes how the 2008 eruption of the Kasatochi volcano in the Aleutian Islands spewed iron-laden ash over a large swath of the North Pacific. The result, says Hamme, was an "ocean productivity event of unprecedented magnitude"—the largest phytoplankton bloom detected in the region since ocean surface measurements by satellite began ...
Planet Neptune not guilty of harassment
2010-10-07
New research by a University of Victoria PhD student is challenging popular theory about how part of our solar system formed. At today's meeting of the prestigious Division of Planetary Sciences in Pasadena, California, Alex Parker is presenting evidence that, contrary to popular belief, the planet Neptune can't have knocked a collection of planetoids known as the Cold Classical Kuiper Belt to its current location at the edge of the solar system.
Parker and his thesis supervisor Dr. J.J. Kavelaars (Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics) studied binaries—systems of two objects ...
Number of synapses shown to vary between night and day in Stanford study of zebrafish
2010-10-07
STANFORD, Calif. — With the help of tiny, see-through fish, Stanford University School of Medicine researchers are homing in on what happens in the brain while you sleep. In a new study, they show how the circadian clock and sleep affect the scope of neuron-to-neuron connections in a particular region of the brain, and they identified a gene that appears to regulate the number of these connections, called synapses.
"This is the first time differences in the number of synapses between day and night and between wake and sleep have been shown in a living animal," said Lior ...
Competing motivational brain responses predict costly helping
2010-10-07
A new study reveals that brain signals elicited by the sight of someone suffering pain differ as a function of whether we identify positively or negatively with that person and that these differential brain signals predict a later decision to help or withdraw from helping. The research, published by Cell Press in the October 7th issue of the journal Neuron, provides fascinating insight into the neural mechanisms involved in decisions that benefit others, known as prosocial behavior, and how they are modulated by perceived group membership.
Dr. Tania Singer from the University ...
