Beehive and Old Faithful Geysers Simultaneously Erupt
Beehive and Old Faithful Geysers Simultaneously Erupt
Old Faithful erupting is an amazing site, but Beehive, an at-least-as-large geyser, and Old Faithful erupting at the same time is even more incredible. Beehive Geyser is the closer one in this picture. A circular polarizer filter was used to deepen the blue sky showing between the clouds. A filter of some form is a very good idea when shooting near active geysers as the spray can damage your glass.

The first step of this discussion is defining a fancy term to help educate and describe this new phenomenon: Neuroprivilogy. As the name suggests Neuroprivilogy is constructed from the words neural (network) and privileged (access), and can be defined as the science of privileged access points' networks. Using the neural network metaphor, an organization's infrastructure is not flat, but instead, […]

Wash. deputy rescues puppy dumped in road

The Associated Press
The Spokane County deputy's shift was winding down when he heard the call on his radio - a man appeared to be abandoning puppies at a nearby intersection.
So Deputy Marc Melville headed to the area early Monday morning.
The caller had reported seeing a man drop an adult dog and five or six puppies out of a vehicle.
Melville found just one puppy - but it ended up going home with him.
As the deputy told The Spokesman-Review, "He looked at me, he licked my nose and that was pretty much all she wrote on that one."
Melville says the puppy appears healthy and is getting along well with his other dogs.

Assassin's Creed: Unity targeted Xbox One as its lead platform, and if you're in the market for a cheap Xbox One deal, CDKeys are currently charging £24.95 for one day only. Saving you a tenner in the process and ticking another game off your Black Friday checklist.
Remember to 'like' them on Facebook for an extra 5% discount! Whether you like Assassin's Creed Unity will be another matter, though. The game's notorious technical issues may be nowhere near as pronounced on Xbox One, but Matt describes it as a "corpulent, broken mess that plays neither to its own strengths nor to its fanbase" in our 5/10 review, even if there are "flashes of promise." It sure does look pretty though.
The PC version is also on sale for £22.79 with the Facebook discount.
Enough is enough, Halo: Master Chief Collection. This is getting ridiculous.
That Halo: MCC's multiplayer matchmaking is still a muddled mess several weeks after release is frankly unacceptable. We've given 343i a lengthy spool of rope, and they've been allowed a fair bit of slack from the gaming press, but this was supposed to be the flagship title of the winter. And for all of the talk about what a great content package it is -- and it really is a cracking content package even as an offline game -- the fact is that Halo's multiplayer has always been just as much of an important part of the formula as the expansive, game-changing singleplayer/co-op aspects of the series, if not more so.
This was supposed to be the triumphant end to a year in which the Xbox One has really turned itself around, largely thanks to the efforts of Phil Spencer and his team; and what better series to deliver than Halo? Microsoft and 343i got everything right, delivering an outstandingly well-priced and well-balanced collection designed to (re)introduce a new generation of Xbox fans to the Master Chief and his exploits.
Everything except the matchmaking.
Looking about on Reddit and N4G and the various comment streams across coverage of 343i's debacle, many have asked why the likes of Driveclub and Assassin's Creed: Unity came under such heavy fire while Halo has been given the benefit of the doubt in many quarters. With Driveclub, it's important to note that the game's unique selling points were all tethered to that online experience. Driveclub was a game marketed, previewed, and centred around the connected experience -- without it, the game was simply impossible to review and disappointing to play. Assassin's Creed: Unity was a Uplay-stuffed singleplayer game that released in a broken, shambolic state, filled with bugs that any decent QA department would have surely rooted out, with all signs pointing towards a game that could have desperately used a few more months in development.Click here to read more...
This isn't a part of the on-going Black Friday countdown flash deals, but this listing is one of the cheapest we've seen for the current-gen versions of Diablo 3. Overall, there's a saving of around £5 compared to the next best deal elsewhere for both consoles.
The transition from PC to console has been expertly done by Blizzard, as we discuss in our review. The fact it comes with all the content (and fixes) that have been produced since the original launch makes this version of Diablo 3 great value for money. More to the point, it's lots of fun - especially in local co-op. Thanks to slento86 @ HUKD!
Microsoft has revealed this week's Xbox Live Deals With Gold, which is a pretty impressive collection befitting Black Friday week. The Xbox One gets short shrift again with an admittedly great price for Strider (7/10 review) and Warframe premium currency (free to play, 7/10 review), whereas the Xbox 360 is absolutely awash with discounts. From Battleblock Theatre for under a fiver to the entire Gears Of War series at knockdown prices, this is a pretty decent showing.
Personally I'd suggest picking up Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning and Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit for £2.99. Check out all the offers below, and full credit to teddy1590 @ HUKD who rounded these up earlier today.Click here to read more...
Ubisoft have announced that The Crew will be hitting open beta from tomorrow across PS4 and Xbox One. The beta will go live from 8AM BST/9AM CET tomorrow until 8AM BST/9AM CET on Friday.
If you've already played the closed beta, the open beta will be ready and available to play on the dashboard of either console. If you're yet to sample The Crew, however, simply search for the game on PSN/Xbox LIVE and download from there.
It looks like you may well need PS Plus/XBL Gold to run the beta, given that it's an online title.
GAME are currently offering Watch Dogs for under £15 pre-owned, and that includes Special Edition versions of the game too. Do note, though, that because of the nature of the used market, those Special Editions might have had the "special" codes exhausted by previous owners. As GAME themselves note onsite, "pre-owned version may not include additional content".
Still, when it's the same price as the standard version, it's probably worth a punt.
I have to say that although I found bits of its bloated content package to be superfluous, and in spite of its protagonist being dreadfully boring, I found Watch Dogs rather entertaining for a couple of weeks. You can click here to check out our Watch Dogs review. Thanks oUkTuRkEyIII!
Amazon's week of Black Friday lightning deals has kicked off, and after this morning's Batman: Arkham Origins discount (make sure you're following us on Twitter for up to the minute notifications on Lightning Deals) we've got a few more games-related bargains to be had this afternoon.
You won't be able to get these deals from the product pages themselves, you'll have to click "Add to Basket" off of the splash page. But be quick as there's limited stock for all of these deals. Once they're gone, they're gone.
Here's the rest of today's upcoming Lightning Deals schedule:
(NB. All times are in GMT)
We will, of course, be bringing you all of the hottest gaming deals across our site, the Dealspwn Twitter stream, and Facebook page throughout the insanity of Black Friday week and all throughout the Christmas retail season. Make sure you've got our general games deals stream and console bundles channel bookmarked, and if you have any questions or queries, do be sure to pop a comment into our forum.
If you're an Xbox One owner who enjoyed some free time with Sunset Overdrive over the weekend and want more, this deal from Tesco is certainly worth a look. It's not a part of the Black Friday shenanigans, but it sure feels like it, beating the next cheapest deal by around £5.
In our review, Jon said that Sunset Overdrive's "infectious energy, breathtaking traversal, silly weapons and violently colourful playground make for a brilliant way to blow off steam." In other words, it's Insomniac getting back to doing what they do best - bringing the fun. Thanks to waaqii @ HUKD!
Can you see Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare going much lower on Black Friday? I think the chances are slim, and stocks at this price certainly won't last long. COD's price has traditionally stayed high for ages in the months after release and with Advanced Warfare selling and scoring so well, you can bet the pattern will continue. Although, retailers do seem to be going a bit mental this year.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare has been a grand return and reinvention for the FPS series. The futuristic setting has been the perfect excuse to introduce the exoskeleton which gives players double jump and speed boost dodge skills. The campaign was oodles of fun and had the best of Hollywood (Kevin Spacey) and gaming VO actors (Troy Baker) to keep you hooked throughout. Oh, and the multiplayer is better than it's been in years -head straight to Uplink and Kill Confirmed modes to see why. Here's my full review.
Thanks to tristanangel and bigtam1.
This may just be the cheapest price we've seen for Destiny on the Xbox One. With expansion DLC around the corner, you'll want to get your Guardian levelled up in time for the extra challenges that await. Be sure to use the discount code to get the game for £30.50.
Alternatively, Grainger Games are slightly cheaper at £30, but they have been known to send out non-UK versions of games, so be warned. The Xbox One is multi-region though.
Destiny has been great fun so far, albeit a somewhat shallower experience than we were expecting thanks to a gated levelling system that makes it difficult to get past Lv20 without a hell of a lot of work. Don't even get us started on the rotating PVP modes. If you're planning on playing missions with a group of friends though, there's a moreish experience to be found that's unlike anything else on the new consoles.
Thanks to mangoblank and ccangel.
Metro Redux offers great value for money by giving two fantastic shooters from last-gen and giving them a loving remaster and more as listed below. This is a great excuse to catch up on the series, especially for PS3 owners that may have missed out when the first game only visited the 360.
More than just a visual facelift for the series, Metro Redux has put some extra effort in to tempt a spend. Metro 2033 has extra animations (such as the mask wipe from the sequel) and the weapon handling has been reworked too. Both games are now playable in Ranger and Survival modes too for a harsher challenge. All the Season Pass content for Last Light is included, adding an extra ten hours of single player content. This is shaping up to be well worth a look if you missed out on the games last gen.
Thanks to Dhiraj1 at HotUkDeals.
Did we really need a new-gen Grand Theft Auto V? I'm not a fan of paying full whack for new-gen remasters, especially when they only include one game. But if you can't wait for the price to drop or it's on somebody's Xmas list, then be sure to snap up this deal before it goes out of stock again. The voucher code 'SPEND40' will knock a tenner off the price, saving you £7 over the next best deal.
What are you getting in the new-gen version? The graphics have been given quite a boost, with extra details now appearing everywhere. The countryside environments are now full of flowers and 3D shrubbery and the draw distances have been vastly improved. One more potentially important change is the addition of an optional first-person camera angle in case you've ever wanted to play the series as an FPS.
Thanks to Assassin82.
What a week for Nintendo fans! New Pokémon remakes and a brand new Persona title for the 3DS and Smash Bros finally makes its new-gen debut. Elsewhere, Geometry Wars makes its multiplatform debut third time of asking and PS4 owners can finally start designing levels again with the series that started the Play. Create. Share movement. The less said about Amiibo, the better though. Don't forget to enjoy our links to our past coverage and the cheapest online prices.
With over 50 stages to enjoy, the series is set to make a huge splash when it lands on all digital formats next week (sorry, not you Wii U). With the first two games making a name for themselves on XBLA, everyone is going to be able to get a taste this time. The retro shooter action has expanded to feature game worlds with a more 3D feel. Essentially, Geometry Wars has hopped into bed with the likes of Resogun and Super Stardust. That's right shooter fans; you're having it all this year.Click here to read more...
Rayman Legends has never been cheaper for the PS4 and Xbox One. Hell, as prices stand today, even the PS3/360 versions are more expensive at around £15. The site is selling these 'as new', so take from that what you will. Considering the huge saving though, we think it may be worth the plunge.
Rayman Legends is a hot contender for platformer of the last generation here at Dealspwn. Ubisoft's UbiArt engine has never looked better than this side-scrolling 2D platformer. After the also excellent Rayman Origins, it's good to see the limbless wonder back in the spotlight after getting pushed to the sidelines by the Raving Rabbids series. Here's my review of the PS4 version.
Thanks to oUkTuRkEyIII.
This is the cheapest price Lara's adventure has seen on the PS4 and XO and is a few quid cheaper than the usual suspects. This is also one of the better new-gen re-releases out there and your eyes will thank you for the incredible scenes.
I'd heavily recommend Crystal Dynamics' excellent reboot of the 90s series. This is a gorgeous game from start to finish and the huge explorable island is the best game world we've ever taken Lara through. In addition to the improved graphics, you can also use the PS4's camera or headset mic to swap weapons via voice commands. It's rather telling of the action genre's slow year that this is a pick for my action title of the year. Again. Here's my Review.
Thanks to AK Gunners.
The multiplayer matchmaking might still be a little borked, but otherwise Halo: The Master Chief Collection is a barnstorming value package, and now you can snap it up for under £30.
Use the code CORTANA at the checkout to get it at this price. You can check out Jon's Halo: MCC review here. Thanks Gooner!
Happy Birthday Xbox One! Clearly embarrassed by the level of cheap tat that they were giving away before in celebration of the first year of the Xbox One, Microsoft are letting players try out Sunset Overdrive for free this weekend.Click here to read more...
Halo: The Master Chief Collection is an incredible package, but like any great hero, it has an Achilles' Heel. Matchmaking. Post-launch, what appeared to be solid and stable matchmaking descended to a mess of interminable wait times, broken parties and hilariously unbalanced teams. 343 Industries were quick to apologies and have been working around the clock to sort things out, culminating in a 1400 MB patch yesterday that promised to address the major issues alongside a host of minor tweaks.
So does it work?
Not really.

The Xbox One has its first birthday tomorrow, and so we took the chance to cast our eyes back over the first twelve months of Microsoft's latest console to reflect on how it's performed after a rocky release, in a year where there's been a personnel change at the top and the competition has raced ahead to an early sales lead. Has the Xbox One managed to turn things around?
Phil Spencer bared his fangs and proved his mettle this year.
The new head of Xbox inherited a disaster in the making. Don Mattrick had totally sabotaged the Xbox brand, rolling out an insanely expensive media centre with functionality most devices and smart TVs already made obsolete, packing an admittedly excellent peripheral that nobody really wanted, stacked to the gunwhales with microtransactions and controversial features. The Xbox One sold modestly well on the strength of its fanbase, some decent launch titles and Titanfall, but it soon became apparent that the bloated "entertainment system" was a sitting duck as Sony and even Nintendo started pulling ahead. Spencer faced an impossible situation.
There's only one thing you can do in an impossible situation. Triage. Save what you can, then let everything else burn.
What followed was a ruthless, desperate and frankly magnificent campaign of revisions, U-turns and scorched-earth decisions as the new guard dismantled Mattrick's monstrosity into a console that might actually sell. Kinect was thrown under the bus. The RRP was hacked down to undercut the PS4, margins be damned, followed by some ludicrous bundles. Xbox Live Gold was declawed, and permanent free games were rolled out. Firmware updates weren't delivered annually, they were delivered every single month come what may.Click here to read more...
I actually got a real kick out of Watch Dogs. It's got the most boring protagonist ever, and it's overstuffed with content, but you can pick and choose your way through that. Moreover, as boring as Aiden is, the stuff he can do is pretty cool, and there's nothing quite like sticking on the Blues Brothers soundtracks and tearing it up on the roads of Chicago.

St. Vincent de Paul Comments
St. Vincent was born of poor parents in the village of Pouy in Gascony, France, about 1580. He enjoyed his first schooling under the Franciscan Fathers at Acqs. Such had been his progress in four years that a gentleman chose him as subpreceptor to his children, and he was thus enabled to continue his studies without being a burden to his parents. In 1596, he went to the University of Toulouse for theological studies, and there he was ... Continue Reading

Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Please pray for the health of my brother Vincent Paul. That his liver begins to work properly and not be rejected. His daughter needs him and he needs to see his daughter grow up as he didn't get that opportunity with his son Paul.
Have mercy on him.

St. Vincent de Paul gives us inspiration and provides a wonderful role model in a world that is now tilted nearly off its axis.
The ability to forgive is great and never easy..especially when a good reputation is slandered viciously.
I will pray that guilty parties own up to their grievous errors and ask those maligned for true forgiveness.
My prayer will also include that those injured and wrongly accused can resume their lives as best as theya re able and re-establish friendships with their kin and loved ones.
Peace dear friend and much love. Wishing and praying for you always........

happy feast day dear St. Vincent Depaul! Thank you for blessing and guiding our trip to visit you in france. And thank you for appearing in my dream to inform me to do charity work for the poor.you are a great role model for all of us!

Dear St Vincent de Paul, patron saint of charities, you inspire peoples all over the world to give generously to the poor and suffering, but you also know that not enough is done and that there's still much suffering, malnutrition, disease and homelessness. Help us to respond to the needy, in whatever small way we can. God will do the rest, I'm sure. Dispel concerns that what is given may not go to the right channels, because this is often the reason for not caring. Currently, dear saint I'm trying to get cash donations for the flood victims of a poor village in Sind, Pakistan, Bless my work that you may give it success. May all those who know about it give generously. We are truly "tiny" but that should not deter or discourage us in our efforts to donate cash etc to the needy. Help and bless us dear Saint. Amen.

Dubai Municipality reopens Friday Market at Hamriya
Dubai Municipality has reopened its Friday Market at the courtyard of Hamriya Central Market in Abu Hail.

- The Friday Market has sections for local, Gulf, Arab andIndian food items.
Dubai: Dubai Municipality has reopened its Friday Market at the courtyard of Hamriya Central Market in Abu Hail.
"We have resumed activities at the traditional Friday Market this month as it has always been a big hit," said Khalifa Hareb, director of asset management department at the municipality.
He said the market has started receiving Emiratis as well as expatriate traders interested in selling commodities and traditional food varieties.
The market had stopped its activities in summer after the temperature and humidity level had gone up, he said.
Hareb said that the market has three salient features. "It has sections for local, Gulf, Arab and Indian traditional food items. The second is trading of different commodities sold at competitive prices. And the third activity is sale of souvenirs and handicraft items," he said.
He said various organisations also display their products, books, magazines and Quran copies.
The municipality monitors the products sold in the market, especially the food items, to ensure safety of consumers and to prevent over-charging. Fresh fruit and vegetable are also sold at the market at competitive prices.
Hareb invited traders to get stalls at the market as it offers good business activity. "Any one can come and display products in the Friday Market after registering with the municipality," he said.
The market, which will continue until June 31, is open from 3pm to 11pm on Fridays.

TTC plans to stop selling adult tickets
Adult TTC tickets will no longer be sold after September if a new proposal intended to combat counterfeiting is approved by the transit commission next week.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Adult TTC tickets will no longer be sold after September if a new proposal intended to combat counterfeiting is approved by the transit commission next week.
Under the proposal, announced early this evening, adult tickets would no longer be accepted as of September 28. In mid-September, people who had already purchased adult tickets could exchange them for tokens at the Yonge-Bloor subway station or at TTC headquarters at Yonge and Davisville.
Student and senior tickets would continue to be used, TTC spokesperson Brad Ross said, since most counterfeiting involves adult tickets.
Since the introduction of new adult tickets in November 2007, Ross said, the TTC has noticed a dramatic increase in counterfeits. While the transit authority lost approximately 0.4 per cent of ticket revenue to fake tickets over the three years before the new ones came into use, that number has risen to about 1.5 per cent today - $300,000 to $400,000 per month.
The counterfeits, Ross said, have become increasingly difficult for TTC employees to spot.
In related news, ticket collector Nafisa Zahur, 31, was arrested last night and charged with several fraud and forgery offences. Zahur, a TTC employee for two years, allegedly sold counterfeit adult tickets from her booth at Wilson station.
TTC special constables have conducted "several" investigations into the sale of counterfeit tickets in 2008, Ross said, but this was the first involving a TTC employee.

Pregnancy is safe for women after breast cancer - and may even have a protective effect
- Pregnancy boosts oestrogen levels but did not trigger cancer's return
Breast cancer sufferers in remission have been told for the first time it is safe for them to become pregnant.
Previously doctors have feared that pregnancy can boost levels of oestrogen in the body and cause the most common form of the cancer to return.
Baby joy: Women in remission who become pregnant appear to survive longer than those who do not
However, the new findings, presented at the European Breast Cancer Conference in Vienna, suggest it is safe for women to fall pregnant even within the first two years after diagnosis.
Furthermore, the study found that patients who become pregnant appear to survive longer than those who do not, although further research is needed in this area.
Oestrogen is a female sex hormone which stimulates some breast cancers to grow by triggering particular proteins (receptors) in cancer cells.
In a previous study, Dr Hatem Azim Jr and colleagues performed a review of 14 trials which showed it was safe for breast cancer patients to conceive.
However, the study was unable to show whether this was the case for women with oestrogen receptor positive (also known as ER+) disease.
In the new research, Dr Azim, a medical oncologist at the Jules Bordet Institute in Brussels, and colleagues, enrolled 333 women whose oestrogen receptor status (positive or negative) and disease outcome were known.
They had become pregnant at any time following diagnosis and were in remission at the time they conceived.
The group was matched with 874 similar breast cancer patients who did not become pregnant, and who acted as controls.
Over a period of almost five years following pregnancy, 30 per cent of all women in the study saw their disease come back.
Dr Azim said: 'Out of all the women, 57 per cent had ER+ disease, but the study showed there was no difference in the length of time women with either ER+ or ER negative (ER-) disease survived without their disease recurring compared with those who did not become pregnant.'
He said a second finding, that patients who became pregnant within two years of breast cancer diagnosis appeared to have a better disease-free survival compared to those who did not become pregnant, should be interpreted with caution.
Neither breastfeeding nor abortion or miscarriage appeared to have an effect on the women's outcome.
Dr Azim added: 'Frequently when women with history of breast cancer become pregnant, some physicians advise them to have an abortion for fear that completing the pregnancy could have a detrimental effect on the outcome of their disease.
'We found that this was not true and the outcome was similar, irrespective of whether the pregnancy was completed or not.'
He said abortion 'should not be promoted for therapeutic reasons in these patients' and said the study shows 'convincingly that pregnancy any time following breast cancer diagnosis is safe, irrespective of ER status'.
The patients in the study had an average age of 34, ranging from 21 to 48 years old.
Professor David Cameron, from the University of Edinburgh and chairman of the conference, said: 'This is an important study, as it can give women much more confidence that a wanted pregnancy after treatment for breast cancer does not necessarily mean a poorer chance of being able to live to bring up children.
'However, it is important to acknowledge that there are limitations in this kind of case control study, and so whilst an important piece of research, it cannot yet be taken as definitive proof that there is no adverse effect of a subsequent pregnancy.'
Woman are advised to check their breasts regularly for any changes
Dr Rachel Greig, senior policy officer at Breakthrough Breast Cancer, said: 'This study may offer reassurance to breast cancer patients who want to have a baby after finishing their treatment.
'It shows that most women who become pregnant after breast cancer are not at increased risk of developing the disease again.
'However, we would always encourage women wishing to have a baby after breast cancer to discuss this with their doctor.'
Grete Brauten-Smith, clinical nurse specialist for younger women at Breast Cancer Care, said: 'We welcome this research which supports previous evidence that becoming pregnant following a breast cancer diagnosis, whether or not you are oestrogen receptor positive, does not increase the risk of recurrence.
'While the study will go some way to easing the concerns of prospective mothers who have had breast cancer, it should be interpreted with a degree of caution.
'Currently, most cancer specialists recommend waiting two years after hospital-based treatment before trying to become pregnant.
'The findings do however reinforce the importance of discussing fertility preservation prior to treatment for breast cancer.'

State Life to launch health insurance in UAE
Pakistan's largest life insurance firm will target low income group
- Image Credit: Oliver Clarke/Gulf News
- (From left) Tariq Iqbal Soomro, Pakistan Consul General, with Shadid Aziz Siddiqi, chairman, Khalid Mahmood Shahid Zonal chief of State Life Insurance corporation of Pakistan during meeting and prize-giving ceremony to honor members of staff for their achievements over the past year.
Dubai: Pakistan's largest life insurance company State Life Corporation is planning to launch health insurance scheme for residents in the UAE and elsewhere in the Gulf region, said its top official.
"We are finalising plan to roll out a new health insurance scheme to cover medical needs of hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis and other expats in the UAE and in other the Gulf region countries following high demand from expatriate community," Shahid Aziz Seddiqi Chairman of State Life Insurance Corporation, said at the annual award giving function held in Dubai.
Since, he added, the medical insurance has become compulsory in Abu Dhabi for all employees and plans are underway to make it mandatory for all companies to cover medical expenses for employees, the State Life considers it timely to launch affordable health insurance policy especially for the low income group of people.
Khalid Mahmoud Shahid, Dubai based Gulf Zonal Chief of the State Life said that they were growing at fast pace in the UAE with the opening of new offices in Sharjah and Al Ain while they would soon open offices in Bahrain and Qatar this year.
He said the newly established office in Sharjah has so far raised US$ 0.6 million premium, which might go up to US$ 1.2 million in the first year of operations. "We will soon open more offices in Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah to boost our life insurance business in the UAE," he told Gulf News
He said State Life has over 15,000 policyholders in the UAE and another 4,000 are expected to be added this year. "We have added about 7,000 policyholders in the past three years, but even the 15,000 figure is not enough considering the huge potential in the country."
He said the company has evolved an aggressive strategy to double State Life policyholders in the next two years by targeting all communities.
"Our Life Fund in the Gulf region recorded very robust growth in the past three years as premiums rose to $66.5 million this year compared to $38 million in 2008," he added.
He said State Life is expected to raise $20 million (Dh73.5 million) gross premium in the Gulf Zone this year compared to $16 million in 2011. He also explained the salient features of the company's non-declaration policy under which policyholders can claim benefits of up to US$65,000 a year without providing a medical declaration.
The company has also announced new Terminal Bonus first time along with Reversionary Bonus in history of Gulf Zone for its policy holders.

The painting depicts the death of John Graham of Claverhouse, Viscount Dundee, possibly in a room at Urrard House after having been mortally wounded at the Battle of Killiecrankie. The fatally wounded man's armour lies by his bed, his gaze is fixed on a soldier on the right who holds the Scottish standard. In reality the general consensus is that Claverhouse died on the battlefield at Killiecrankie so this is an artistic interpretation of his death based on John Grant's historical fiction 'The Scottish Cavalier'. Claverhouse was referred to as 'Bluidy Clavers' by his enemies due to his supression of the Covenanters as a soldier in the army of Charles II and 'Bonnie Dundee' by his supporters. In 1688 he was made Viscount of Dundee by James VII of Scotland (James II of England). He was mortally wounded during the Battle of Killiecrankie in support of the Jacobite cause and his support of James VII.

Study: Arctic Warming Drives More Extreme Summer Heat Waves, Droughts, And Deluges
A new study links the past decade's "exceptional number of unprecedented summer extreme weather events" in the U.S. and Europe with the "record declines in both summer Arctic sea ice and snow cover on high-latitude land." Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with Rutgers Prof. Jennifer Francis, make the case in a Nature Climate Change study, "Extreme summer weather in northern mid-latitudes linked to a vanishing cryosphere" (subs. req'd).
Scientists predicted a decade ago that Arctic ice loss would shift storm tracks and bring on worse western droughts of the kind we are now seeing. Recent studies find that Arctic sea ice loss may well usher changes in the jet stream that lead to more U.S. extreme weather events (see here and here).
We've known for a long time that global warming melts highly reflective white ice and snow, which is replaced by the dark blue sea or dark land, both of which absorb far more sunlight and hence far more solar energy. That is one of the many sources of "polar amplification," whereby the Arctic warms much faster than other parts of the globe. Now it seems increasingly clear that the amplified Arctic warming in turn amplifies extreme weather by shifting and weakening the jetstream (see video here).
The new study notes that in the past three decades, Arctic sea ice extent during late summer has fallen some 8 percent per decade, while spring snow coverage in June has fallen some 18 percent percent per decade. The researchers "combine satellite observations of early summer snow cover and summer sea-ice extent with atmospheric reanalysis data" to shown a linkage between those snow and ice losses and mid-latitude summer weather patterns:
Atmospheric changes associated with the combined snow/ice reductions reveal widespread upper-level height increases, weaker upper-level zonal winds at high latitudes, a more amplified upper-level pattern, and a general northward shift in the jet stream. More frequent extreme summer heat events over mid-latitude continents are linked with reduced sea ice and snow through these circulation changes.
Some climatologists I spoke to believe the case has not been fully made. They argue that the recent period of the most significant ice/snow loss and most extreme weather is too short to draw statistically significant conclusions. And Kevin Trenberth of National Center for Atmospheric Research told Climate Central, "There is no plausible physical mechanism or analysis of how the atmosphere is forced to behave in this manner."
Still, as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) explained in an October 2012 news release:
The effects of Arctic amplification will increase as more summer ice retreats over coming decades. Enhanced warming of the Arctic affects the jet stream by slowing its west-to-east winds and by promoting larger north-south meanders in the flow. Predicting those meanders and where the weather associated with them will be located in any given year, however, remains a challenge.
The researchers say that with more solar energy going into the Arctic Ocean because of lost ice, there is reason to expect more extreme weather events, such as heavy snowfall, heat waves, and flooding in North America and Europe but these will vary in location, intensity, and timescales.
This effect is all but certain to become even larger in the next decade or two (see Experts Warn 'Near Ice-Free Arctic In Summer' In A Decade If Volume Trends Continue).
John Mason at Skeptical Science has put together a primer, "A Rough Guide to the Jet Stream: what it is, how it works and how it is responding to enhanced Arctic warming." He concludes, "Evidence is mounting to indicate that the response of the jet stream to" polar amplification "has been to tend to slow down and meander more, with a greater tendency to develop blocking patterns," which in turn prolong and intensify all sorts of extreme weather events. We are only just beginning to sort out the implications of this for key global concerns, such as food security.

Asthma initiative reduces ER visits with healthcare home visits
The Atlantic, April 24, 2012
Clinicians at Children's Hospital in Boston developed a program called Community Asthma Initiative (CAI) in 2005. Using hospitalization and emergency department logs, 283 low-income children with asthma were identified and then enrolled. A key part of the program is a visit to the child's home by a nurse or other health care worker to make the home less likely to trigger asthma attacks. On average, each family received 1.2 home visits during the year-long program. In the year after enrolling in the program, there was a 68 percent decrease in ER visits for asthma and an 85 percent decrease in hospitalizations due to asthma.

Oregon's Pace Attractive To Campos
Though slightly slender of build, West Des Moines (IA) Valley offensive lineman Jake Campos is…
Iowa views Jake Campos as a left tackle. It's a position where the Hawkeyes have developed serious talent in the last decade.
Robert Gallery, Marshal Yanda and Bryan Bulaga were drafted into the NFL. Riley Reiff, who left after his junior season of 2011, has been tabbed as a likely first-rounder in this April's NFL selection process.
It's a solid selling point for Iowa on the recruiting trail. Campos sees it differently.
"It's a nice statistic just to know that they are producing great players and they're teaching them the right technique, but that really doesn't have an effect on me," the 2013 prospect from West Des Moines (Iowa) Valley High said. "I need to find the right fit for me."
It's been a busy couple of weeks for the 6-foot-7, 240-pounder. He attended junior days at Iowa and Missouri already this month. The Hawkeyes had offered a scholarship, and the TIgers extended him the opportunity on Saturday.
"They pulled me aside and I went into a separate office with Coach (Gary) Pinkel," Campos said. "Coach Pinkel talked to us for a little bit. After a bit, he came out and said they were extending me an offer."
Iowa State and Purdue also have offered the Central Iowa standout.
"Right now, I'm trying not to think about it too much," Campos said. "I'm going to take it in stride. It's a big honor to get all of these opportunities, but I don't really see it as a big deal. I still have a long way to go to get better."
Campos unofficially visited Iowa for its game against Northwestern in October. On his junior day trip Feb. 5, he had a chance to get to know people a little more.
"The Iowa visit was great," he said. "We saw all the different coaches. We talked to them a lot, especially Coach (Reese) Morgan. We saw some of the facilities and I really liked it.
"They said they really like my athleticism and my footwork. They see me at the left tackle position."
After his visit with the Hawkeyes, Campos learned that his lead recruiter, Morgan, would be switching from being the offensive line coach to the defensive line coach.
"I really like Coach Morgan. He's a great coach," Campos said. "He would have been great to play for, but I'm sure that anyone they get to coach offensive line there will be great. My view of them really hasn't changed."
Campos said his visit to Columbia, MO matched what he was at Iowa.
"We met all of the (Missouri) coaches right away," Campos said. "That was great. They have two separate O-Line coaches (Josh Henson and Bruce Walker) . I really got along with both of them really well. I also hit it off with the offensive coordinator (David Yost).
"Everyone who I talked to, I got along with well. The facilities were just outstanding. Even the food hall and the weight room were just amazing."
Campos heard similar compliments from the Tigers coaches to what he heard from the Iowa staff.
"Once again, it was the athleticism and the foot speed," he said. "They think I have the athletic ability to play that left tackle position. They also see me having the frame to put on the weight needed."
Campos plans to visit Oklahoma during spring break.
"We're going to go down to Texas to visit relatives, but we're stopping at the Oklahoma campus," Campos said. "We're going to look around there a little bit. We've been talking to Coach (Bruce) Kittle there.
"We just started talking right now, so we're just still getting to know each other. Hopefully, we can talk more about football when we get down there."
Campos has tentative plans to camp at Iowa, Iowa State and Missouri this summer. There could be changes or different schools in the mix by then, though.
"I'm just going with the flow," Campos said of the recruiting process. "It would be nice to have it done before next season, but really I have no idea how long it will take."

US: high winds slow Anna Maria beach renourishment project
Project Updates - January 8, 2014
The Anna Maria Island reports that Great Lakes Dredge and Dock resumed the Anna Maria Island beach renourishment project on December 30th after a strong west wind December 26-29 forced the company to move its barge and pumping station from the Gulf of Mexico to calmer waters in Tampa Bay, halting beach renourishment efforts.
Having resumed operations on 30 December a cold front on 2 January again brought a strong west wind and 5-6ft choppy surf, halting operations. The company did some work on 1 January1.
Manatee County Parks and Natural Resources director Charlie Hunsicker said that although the project was expected to go 24/7 from the start, weather is the deciding factor for Great Lakes to halt its operations.
Strong westerly winds and high waves would do more harm to the project than good, Hunsicker said. Those conditions could easily disrupt dredging and separate the pipes bringing sand to the beach.
Great Lakes currently is nourishing the beach from its starting point at the 60th Street beach access northward to the 72nd Street beach access. The company will pump and smooth sand up to 79th Street, then begin work south of the 60th Street access.
The Islander said that, under its contract with the US Army Corps of Engineers, Great Lakes is supposed to finish the project, builiding the beach southward to Coquina Beach, within 60 days of its December 20 start.
