YPI Crew Captain Swaps His Bridge for a Cockpit in This Year's SPEED Euroseries

YPI Crew have sponsored yacht captain and racing car driver Lars Viljoen in this year's SPEED Euroseries.

2012-10-06

ANTIBES, FRANCE, October 06, 2012 (Press-News.org) Director of YPI Crew, Laurence Reymann is known for her passion for life and energy in the work place. To date, both these attributes have been employed to great effect within the crew recruitment industry. For the first time however, this year her attention will be split between the office in Antibes and the race track, as YPI Crew sponsors one of their own yacht captains in the SPEED Euroseries.

"Racing and Yachting are both high-end pursuits fostering the type of excellence which is the cornerstone of my vision for YPI Crew. Skill, energy, courage and determination are qualities I value a lot and Lars embodies these qualities both as a professional yacht captain and as a racing car driver." Comments Laurence.

Captain of the M/Y PRINCESS LILY, Lars will be exchanging his comfortable bridge with a cramped cockpit for this year's series.

"I believe yachting and motorsport go hand in hand," he says. "There are many similarities between the two. You see the two worlds combining for the Monaco, Valencia and Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and other circuits like Dubai, Barcelona and Macau. Both are fast and luxurious worlds that always entice you back for more, this is probably why I like them so much".

When Lars first approached YPI Crew his passion and ability were immediately obvious to Laurence and everyone involved in her Antibes crew agency.

"I felt it was exactly the right thing to do. I want to be able to help people passionate about life, people like Lars, to achieve their goals. It is also a fun and exciting way for YPI Crew to communicate with our candidates and clients and it's great to fly the YPI Crew flag over some of Europe's legendary race tracks, the playgrounds for so many of our yacht owners."

Though not initially recognised by many, participation in the SPEED Euroseries is an important step for any driver with aspirations to compete in series such as Le Mans or 24h racing.

Lars drives a Ligier and will be competing in all this year's SPEED Euroseries races, live on Europe's racetracks or in supporter's homes on Sky TV.

YPI Crew has been providing an unparalleled crew recruitment service for the yachting industry since 2002. Their unique and personal super yacht recruitment process results in a very high placement ratio for the thousands of crew jobs recruited by them each year.

Considering an Elective C-Section? Many Experts Say Think Twice

2012-10-06

Cesarean sections, as known as C-sections, are the most common surgeries in the United States today. While they can be quite literally a life saver for some mothers and their new babies, other mothers are electing to have a C-section in lieu of delivering naturally to avoid the inconvenience of not knowing when they are going to deliver. However, C-sections carry risks like any other type of surgery, and now experts believe that electing to have a child prior to full term may result in brain development consequences for the baby later in life. Physicians who negligently ...

Pedestrian and Cycling Fatalities on the Rise in New York City

2012-10-06

If you have ever been to New York City, you know that the city is extremely walker friendly; you do not need a vehicle to get from borough to borough. In fact, many believe that biking and walking help make the city a healthier and safer place. However, new data suggests that the increase in walkers and bikers is actually leading to more fatalities on the New York City roads. Specifically, the Mayor's Management Report indicates that traffic fatalities were up by 23 percent from last year. Yet, the total number of car-to-car accidents in New York City has fallen for ...

Preventing Construction Injuries Through Personal Protective Equipment

2012-10-06

We live in a culture awash in acronyms. From LOL to ASAP, the waves of shorthand keep cresting. In the construction industry, however, there is one acronym that everyone should know: PPE. Personal protection equipment can take many forms. But it plays a key role in safeguarding construction workers from on-the-job injuries. This article will discuss employers' responsibility to provide proper personal protection equipment to prevent injuries on construction sites. Without such protection, too many construction injuries occur that could have been fairly easily prevented. Construction ...

New Study: Texting While Driving More Dangerous Than Previously Thought

2012-10-06

Multitasking is all but a way of life in the modern world. Most of us realize that doing two or more things at once tends to detract from quality; but we may not always recognize that it can also be dangerous. In a new study that appears in the journal Computers in Human Behavior, researchers delved into the different kinds of distraction brought about by multitasking. Their findings seem to indicate that texting while driving is a perfect storm of visual distraction that puts motorists at far more risk of causing an accident than simply talking on the phone. Visual ...

Cyclists Use Video Cameras to Document Collisions

2012-10-06

In the fall of 2012, a 21-year-old cyclist was struck by a vehicle as she biked upon Highway 29 in Alexandria, Minn. After the accident, local police immediately investigated the matter. Unfortunately, little information was available regarding the details of the incident. When someone is injured in a cycling accident, many questions come to mind. Was the biker abiding by local traffic laws? Was the motorist reckless or inattentive? What is the extent of any injuries? In a perfect world, these questions could be resolved quickly if every collision was digitally recorded ...

Clearing the Confusion About Individual Liability in South Carolina LLCs

2012-10-06

One of the main benefits of forming a limited liability company (perhaps better known as an LLC) is that this type of business structure is understood to shield owners' personal assets in the event that the business becomes encumbered by significant financial obligations. For instance, if someone sues an LLC and obtains a judgment awarding financial damages, even if the business runs out of money, real estate, savings, retirement accounts and any other personal property owned by individual LLC members generally cannot be touched. But, at least in South Carolina, LLC members ...

Delays at North Carolina's State Crime Laboratory Lead to Case Dismissals

2012-10-06

Did you know that there have been lengthy delays at North Carolina's State Crime Laboratory? The waiting period for test results has been so lengthy that prosecutors have dismissed criminal cases. Local news sources suggest that a budget reduction and fewer lab employees have resulted in at least a year-long delay in criminal cases. Reasons for Delays According to The Herald Sun, multiple factors are contributing to the problem. First, caseloads are increasing, which means more lab submissions. The North Carolina State Attorney General's office notes the crime lab ...

New Ohio Texting Ban Could Affect Vehicular Negligence, Injury Cases

2012-10-06

Ohio recently passed new distracted driving laws that may have implications for vehicular negligence, injury and even homicide cases. For individuals accused of vehicular negligence, injury or homicide, these new laws may help prove that the accused did not intend to injure the victim, by allowing them to more readily point to the victim's own distracted behavior. Ohio's New Distracted Driving Laws It is currently illegal for Ohio drivers to use their cell phones to text while driving. For adults, the new law is a secondary offense, meaning that drivers must be committing ...

Thousands Die From Diagnostic Errors Every Year in Hospital ICUs

2012-10-06

A recent study from a team of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine researchers have found that more than one in four intensive care unit (ICU) patients who died suffered some degree of misdiagnosis. While the number of deaths (over 40,000) is quite sizeable, because of the variability of of the cause of death, this issue has received little study.
