HOVE, ENGLAND, November 09, 2012 (Press-News.org) Legal & General unveiled the rather startling news that the new EU rules mean that from 21st December 2012, women are likely to pay more when taking out new life cover and critical illness insurance.
It materialised after a set of new rules and changes in law dictate that insurance providers will no longer be allowed to assess insurance premiums via gender. Having been the fairer sex when it came to insurance premiums, women now find themselves under a more critical gaze and no longer the safer investment and receivers of sounder, lower life insurance premiums.
This is how it currently stands: a non-smoking female aged 39 will pay their monthly premium for term life insurance over 21 years of GBP8.22. However, after December 21st this will advance to GBP9.45. This equates to women paying an additional GBP310 for their premium, full term.
Because of these new changes, Legal & General is helpfully guiding women in the right direction and preparing them to act now for a better value life insurance quote before these changes add extra costs. These new laws are aimed to be active by Christmas, so getting the best life insurance now could be a saving later on.
In support of scanning the best insurance rates now, not later, Legal & General has acted to offer women GBP50 M&S vouchers if they apply for their low-cost life insurance before 16th November 2012. It is suggested that women act quickly - there is just over a week left to go on this great offer.
The offer is well-timed and helpful. An extra bonus in addition to savings made for a future. Women deserve the better deal so being rewarded for the right insurance premium seems fair, even if these new rules perhaps aren't.

New Book on Poker Tells by Zachary Elwood Being Hailed as "Best Ever"
2012-11-09
A new book on the analysis of poker behavior is being called by many the best work on the subject. The book, Reading Poker Tells, is an instructional guide for interpreting the physical and verbal behavioral patterns, or "tells," of poker players. It was written by former professional poker player Zachary Elwood and published by Portland, Oregon publisher Via Regia.
Elwood said he was inspired to write a book on poker tells when he realized that previous books treated the subject too simplistically and that none had gone into enough detail about the "subtleties ...

Aspirin effective in preventing clots following joint replacement surgery
2012-11-08
(PHILADELPHIA) – If you've had joint replacement surgery, it's likely you've been given warfarin, a common blood thinner and clot-preventer, prior to surgery. While effective, research from the Rothman Institute at Jefferson has shown aspirin to be just as effective in preventing clots, specifically pulmonary emboli, life-threatening blood clots that can develop in the arteries of the lungs following joint replacement surgery. Their research was recognized as one of the best poster presentations at the recent American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) meeting ...
Gene find turns soldier beetle defence into biotech opportunity
2012-11-08
New antibiotic and anti-cancer chemicals may one day be synthesised using biotechnology, following CSIRO's discovery of the three genes that combine to provide soldier beetles with their potent predator defence system.
CSIRO researchers, and a colleague at Sweden's Karolinska Institute, published details of the gene identification breakthrough and potential applications recently in the international journal Nature Communications.
"For the first time, our team has been able to isolate and replicate the three genes that combine to make the potent fatty acid that soldier ...
Cedars-Sinai research: Preclinical muscular dystrophy data shows promise
2012-11-08
LOS ANGELES — Nov. 7, 2012 – Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute researchers have found that an experimental compound may help stem the debilitating effects of muscular dystrophy by restoring normal blood flow to muscles affected by the genetic disorder.
The researchers studied HCT 1026, a new type of molecule in which nitric oxide is chemically attached to a standard anti-inflammatory agent, in a preclinical model of muscular dystrophy. Results suggest HCT 1026 may be beneficial for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which begins in early childhood, and Becker muscular ...
Capturing carbon with clever trapdoors
2012-11-08
University of Melbourne Engineers have developed a novel method of collecting and storing carbon dioxide that will reduce the cost of separating and storing carbon dioxide.
The quest to capture carbon dioxide is crucial to a cleaner future and once captured, carbon dioxide can be compressed and safely stored.
It is also a useful source for chemical manufacture. However, current processes are inefficient and require several stages of refining and extraction before a pure form of carbon dioxide is produced.
One method of capturing carbon dioxide is through molecular ...
Historic coral collapse on Great Barrier Reef
2012-11-08
Australian marine scientists have unearthed evidence of an historic coral collapse in Queensland's Palm Islands following development on the nearby mainland.
Cores taken through the coral reef at Pelorus Island confirm a healthy community of branching Acropora corals flourished for centuries before European settlement of the area, despite frequent floods and cyclone events. Then, between 1920 and 1955, the branching Acropora failed to recover.
Scientists from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at the University of Queensland say the rapid collapse of ...
The right pace of neural development protects against autism and intellectual disability
2012-11-08
Neurodevelopmental disorders such as intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders are marked by mutations that impair signaling between neurons. These mutations cause key brain circuits involved in learning and memory to develop too quickly, leading to long-lasting behavioral and cognitive deficits, according to a study published by Cell Press in the November 9th issue of the journal Cell. The findings could pave the way to new treatment strategies for severe forms of neurodevelopmental disorders.
"We have provided perhaps the first evidence that acceleration ...
