My Canada Payday is pleased to announce the opening of their new office in Nova Scotia as well as their successful acquisition of a new payday lending license.

2013-06-04

HALIFAX, NS, June 04, 2013 (Press-News.org) My Canada Payday has recently opened an office in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia just across the water from Halifax. The payday loans licensing process was successfully completed on March 14, 2013. This marks the fourth province in which My Canada Payday is licensed to offer payday loans.

Following the success of their payday loan operations in British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Ontario, My Canada Payday (http://www.mycanadapayday.com) has expanded its coverage to include the province of Nova Scotia. Online payday loans have been allowed in Nova Scotia under the Payday Lenders Regulations and Consumer Protection Act since May 1, 2012. While internet lending is still relatively new in the province, the licensing of brick and mortar lenders has been in effect since August 1, 2009. In addition to offering online loans, My Canada Payday has also opened a branch office in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia to provide customer support and act as a liason with the regulatory agencies.

In addition to the relatively favourable licensing conditions in the province, there are a number of other attractive aspects to maintaining a physical presence in the province. The timezone is among the earliest in Canada, which allows the staff to provide early morning coverage to the rest of the country while the headquarters in Surrey, BC is on the opposite coast. The Nova Scotia government has been offering substantial tax breaks to bring in call centers from around the world particularly in the financial industry. This has created a labour market that contains a large number of skilled workers who are ideally suited for the payday loan industry. My Canada Payday is pleased to provide employment opportunities to Nova Scotians in addition to reasonably priced and fast access to short term credit. A number of job opportunities will be opening in the Nova Scotia office over the coming months for qualified applicants.

Nova Scotia is the most recent province to be covered by My Canada Payday, but it is not expected to be the last. "I am confident that our efficiency and customer service will provide us with success in every marketplace we enter," stated Dale Evans, marketing director for My Canada Payday. During the first quarter of 2014 they expect to begin the licensing application process for Alberta, followed by the rest of Canada. The company hopes to be providing services to every licensable province in Canada by the end of 2015.

My Canada Payday is a trade name of Westrock Financial Ltd., a payday lender based in British Columbia which operates in British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia. Westrock Financial opened its doors in 2008 and now has its headquarters in Surrey, BC. For more information on My Canada Payday go to:

Researchers document acceleration of ocean denitrification during deglaciation

2013-06-03

CORVALLIS, Ore. – As ice sheets melted during the deglaciation of the last ice age and global oceans warmed, oceanic oxygen levels decreased and "denitrification" accelerated by 30 to 120 percent, a new international study shows, creating oxygen-poor marine regions and throwing the oceanic nitrogen cycle off balance. By the end of the deglaciation, however, the oceans had adjusted to their new warmer state and the nitrogen cycle had stabilized – though it took several millennia. Recent increases in global warming, thought to be caused by human activities, are raising ...

Study links workplace daylight exposure to sleep, activity and quality of life

2013-06-03

DARIEN, IL – A new study demonstrates a strong relationship between workplace daylight exposure and office workers' sleep, activity and quality of life. Compared to workers in offices without windows, those with windows in the workplace received 173 percent more white light exposure during work hours and slept an average of 46 minutes more per night. There also was a trend for workers in offices with windows to have more physical activity than those without windows. Workers without windows reported poorer scores than their counterparts on quality of life measures related ...

Narcolepsy study finds surprising increase in neurons that produce histamine

2013-06-03

DARIEN, IL – A new study provides surprising evidence that people with narcolepsy have an increased number of neurons that produce histamine, suggesting that histamine signaling may be a novel therapeutic target for this potentially disabling sleep disorder. "The orexin/hypocretin neuropeptides promote wakefulness, and researchers have known for 13 years that narcolepsy is caused by loss of the orexin/hypocretin neurons in the hypothalamus," said principal investigator Thomas Scammell, MD, professor of Neurology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Mass. ...

Study suggests that night work may impair glucose tolerance

2013-06-03

DARIEN, IL – A new study suggests that night work may impair glucose tolerance, supporting a causal role of night work in the increased risk of Type 2 diabetes among shift workers. Results show that peak glucose levels were 16 percent higher during one night of simulated shift work, compared with one day of a simulated daytime work schedule. Compared with the daytime protocol, insulin levels during the night shift protocol were 40 to 50 percent higher at 80 minutes and 90 minutes after a meal. "It is surprising that just a single night shift can significantly impair ...

RET rearrangement a new oncogene and potential target in lung cancer

2013-06-03

In results presented at ASCO 2013, a University of Colorado Cancer Center study provides important details for a recently identified driver and target in lung adenocarcinoma: rearrangement of the gene RET. The finding is an important step along a trajectory like that which led to FDA approval of the drug crizotinib, which targets a somewhat similar rearrangement in the ALK gene. By comparison, the ALK rearrangement is present in 3-5 percent of lung cancers whereas the present study found RET rearrangements present in 8 of 51 (15.7 percent) of an enriched cohort of patient ...

Preventing an immune over-reaction The immune system can run awry in many ways. Some examples of undesirable immune responses include those directed against the host (autoimmunity), transplanted organs (transplant rejection), or a harmless substance (allergies). In each case, the immune system is reacting to the presence of a molecule known as an antigen. Currently, the best treatment options involve broad spectrum suppression of the immune system, which increases susceptibility to infection. A preferable solution would be to specifically turn off the immune cells that ...

Risk of kidney disease doubled with use of fluoroquinolone antibiotics

2013-06-03

The risk of acute kidney disease is doubled for people taking oral fluoroquinolone antibiotics, according to a study of published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). Fluoroquinolones, including ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and moxifloxacin, are common broad-spectrum antibiotics most often used to treat respiratory and urogenital infections. Case reports have indicated acute kidney injury with use, and prescription labels carry a warning of kidney failure. However, when oral fluoroquinolones are prescribed in clinical practice, kidney injury is usually not considered. Researchers ...

Harvard development expert: Agricultural innovation offers only path to feed Africa and the world

2013-06-03

The world can only meet its future food needs through innovation, including the use of agricultural biotechnology, a Harvard development specialist said today. Since their commercial debut in the mid-1990s, genetically-designed crops have added about $100 billion to world crop output, avoided massive pesticide use and greenhouse gas emissions, spared vast tracts of land and fed millions of additional people worldwide, said Professor Calestous Juma of the Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. Speaking to graduates of McGill University, ...

EORTC study shows radiotherapy and surgery provide regional control for breast cancer patients

2013-06-03

Final analysis of the EORTC 10981-22023 AMAROS (After Mapping of the Axilla: Radiotherapy Or Surgery?) trial has shown that both axillary lymph node dissection and axillary radiotherapy provide excellent regional control for breast cancer patients with a positive sentinel node biopsy. The AMAROS trial also found that axillary radiotherapy reduces the risk of short term and long-term lymphoedema as compared to axillary lymph node dissection. Prof. Emiel J. Rutgers of The Netherlands Cancer Institute-Antoni Van Leeuwenhoekziekenhuis in Amsterdam, the EORTC Breast Cancer ...
