NICE, FRANCE, April 20, 2013 (Press-News.org) The results, compiled and assimilated by Boat International, is an independent study of sales statistics from some of the world's most prestigious luxury yacht brokers. Boat International's "market intelligence" statistical studies showed that sales from the top five yacht brokerage companies steadily increased year on year over the three year period, reaching a combined total of 458 vessels for 2010, 2011 and 2012.
As well as achieving the best results each year over this three year period, Fraser Yachts also managed to produce a steady increase of its share of the combined luxury yacht sales from 26% to 30%. This is against a backdrop of price reductions and uncertain times in the yacht brokerage industry due to the general economic climate and a fragile Eurozone.
Fraser Yachts' Global Marketing Director Patrick Coote put the company's success in selling luxury yachts down to an unparalleled "investment in superyacht marketing" and Fraser Yachts' brokers' "unique expertise and close relationships with buyers around the world", results of which can be seen in their unique access to buyers' networks and fast brokered deals.
Fraser Yachts has been headed up by CEO Hein Velema since 2009 and is part of Yachtique, whose parent company, Azimut Benetti Group, is the largest manufacturer of luxury yachts and the largest private group in the world in yacht brokerage. Today Fraser Yachts has over 140 employees and 14 offices around the world and in addition to providing super yachts for sale, their services include charter, yacht management, crew and construction.

More distracted drivers in US than in Europe
2013-04-20
Distracted drivers seem to be an endemic problem on U.S. roads. No matter how often public safety officials broadcast the dangers of distracted driving, many drivers persist in dangerous behaviors such as cell phone use and texting while driving. It seems that the problem has not spread outside the country, however. A 2013 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed that distracted driving is a greater problem in the U.S. than it is in many European countries.
U.S. drivers often more distracted

Juror misconduct may lead to new DWI trial for prominent Houston man
2013-04-20
Houston-raised billionaire John Goodman's name was splashed across the headlines when he was charged with drunk driving in 2010. The accident that led to the charges caused the death of a 23-year-old engineering student.
Goodman was convicted of DWI manslaughter and is now serving a 16 year sentence on house arrest. But was his trial fair? Like everyone accused of a crime, Goodman is entitled to a day in court and due process of law. Now, however, new information has come to light that has his lawyers calling for a retrial.

Pending Legislation to Increase the Amount a Disinherited Spouse Can Receive
2013-04-20
Recently, there has been much debate with respect to updating the "spousal elective share" statute in Massachusetts. This statute law allows a disinherited spouse to "elect against" their deceased spouse's Will and receive a mandatory share of the deceased spouse's estate, irrespective of the terms of the deceased spouse's will. Specifically, a disinherited spouse will receive a "life interest" in one-third of the deceased spouse's probate estate. If the deceased spouse left no offspring, the surviving spouse's share increases to one-half.

Numerical cognition in bees and other insects
In this article, Dr. Mario Pahl and colleagues review the main studies on the ability of insects to perceive number, and discuss the possible mechanisms involved in number recognition. Recent behavioral investigations have shown that several invertebrate species (animals without backbones) share various numerical activities with bigger animals, such as birds and mammals. This is because the ability to assess the number of food items, competitors or mates can help animals – even smaller ones like insects ...
Measuring the hazards of global aftershock
2013-04-19
Salt Lake City, Utah -- The entire world becomes an aftershock zone after a massive magnitude (M) 7 or larger earthquake—but what hazard does this pose around the planet? Researchers are working to extend their earthquake risk estimates over a global scale, as they become better at forecasting the impact of aftershocks at a local and regional level.
There is little doubt that surface waves from a large, M≥7 earthquake can distort fault zones and volcanic centers as they pass through the Earth's crust, and these waves could trigger seismic activity. According to ...
Mine disaster: Hundreds of aftershocks
2013-04-19
SALT LAKE CITY, April 19, 2013 – A new University of Utah study has identified hundreds of previously unrecognized small aftershocks that happened after Utah's deadly Crandall Canyon mine collapse in 2007. The aftershocks suggest the collapse was as big – and perhaps bigger – than shown in another study by the university in 2008.
Mapping out the locations of the aftershocks "helps us better delineate the extent of the collapse at Crandall canyon. It's gotten bigger," says Tex Kubacki, a University of Utah master's student in mining engineering.
"We can see now that, ...
Quest for edible malarial vaccine leads to other potential medical uses for algae
2013-04-19
Can scientists rid malaria from the Third World by simply feeding algae genetically engineered with a vaccine?
That's the question biologists at UC San Diego sought to answer after they demonstrated last May that algae can be engineered to produce a vaccine that blocks malaria transmission. In a follow up study, published online today in the scientific journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology, they got their answer: Not yet, although the same method may work as a vaccine against a wide variety of viral and bacterial infections.
In their most recent study, which ...
Swedish study suggests reduced risk of dementia
2013-04-19
A new Swedish study published in the journal Neurology shows that the risk of developing dementia may have declined over the past 20 years, in direct contrast to what many previously assumed. The result is based on data from the SNAC-K, an ongoing study on aging and health that started in 1987.
"We know that cardiovascular disease is an important risk factor for dementia. The suggested decrease in dementia risk coincides with the general reduction in cardiovascular disease over recent decades", says Associate Professor Chengxuan Qiu of the Aging Research Center (ARC), ...
A surprising new function for small RNAs in evolution
2013-04-19
It has long been known that certain proteins, known as transcription factors, directly control the way in which information is read from DNA. As a result, it is widely believed that changes in genes encoding such proteins underlie the mechanisms responsible for evolutionary adaptation. The idea that small RNA molecules, so-called microRNAs, may play an important part in evolutionary changes to animals' appearance is completely new. An international team of researchers, including Christian Schlötterer and Alistair McGregor from the Institute of Population Genetics of ...
