Fish Mortality in Southwest Nova Scotia
On November 22, 2016, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) was notified of dead herring located on the shores of Gilbert Cove, St. Mary's Bay, Nova Scotia. There were also early reports of dead herring in the parts of the Annapolis Basin (near the mouth of the Cornwallis River) but these were short-lived, isolated occurrences. In the days before and after Christmas, some invertebrates were also reported in this same 15 km stretch near Savory Provincial Park. DFO worked with partners such as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) to investigate the potential causes of the mortality of herring and some other species in several locations off southwest Nova Scotia.
Last Updated: March 24, 2017
Safety Notice
Dead herring found on shores should not be collected or consumed by the general public.
As always, consumers should only purchase herring from licensed harvesters or licensed sellers.
What's new?
Current results have ruled out infection, viral diseases, physical injury and toxins as the cause of mortality.
What testing has been done?
DFO and its partners at the CFIA and ECCC have completed a number of tests to identify the potential causes of this mortality event. Lab tests and analysis were performed on causes related to infection or disease, toxins (environmental, algal or other), predation, and water quality.
The tests included:
- necropsy with gross pathology,
- wet mounts of gill, intestine and skin,
- bacteriology,
- histopathology,
- virology,
- molecular testing (i.e. PCR) for ISA, IPN and VHS ,
- amnesic shellfish toxins (also known as domoic acid),
- paralytic shellfish toxins (looked for 12 toxins including saxitoxin),
- diarrhetic shellfish toxins (looked for 31 toxins), and
- additional information on length, width and condition factor was also collected.
Scientific Test Results
At this time, the cause of herring mortality has not been determined.
After extensive testing, no infections or infectious agents have been detected in the herring samples. Tests performed on blood samples indicated that the fish were not anemic and showed no evidence of viral agents.
The CFIA conducted tests for a number of algal toxins and domoic acid, and no toxins were detected in the samples.
No significant pathology, or physical injury to the fish, was detected during microscopic examinations of tissue samples.
Scientists have also conducted testing on the Bay of Fundy, and preliminary results for temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen came back normal.
Water samples showed nothing unusual in oxygen levels. ECCC samples were analyzed for the presence of metals, chemicals, toxins, and several other parameters. Test results came back normal, nothing unusual was identified.
CFIA also confirmed that Canadian Shellfish Sanitation Program sampling in the area is current and shows no evidence of toxins at levels that would have resulted in the mortality seen in this fish kill.
Surveys and Patrols
DFO actively monitored the situation. The Department's Conservation and Protection frontline staff conducted a number of foot patrols in the area. No new wash-ups of herring and no evidence of invertebrates have been identified since January 2, 2017.
Status of Herring in the Bay of Fundy
Herring mortality does not appear to be increasing. Video surveys were conducted in subtidal areas for dead herring, however no evidence of dead herring or other species were found. There has been no evidence of mortality on the bottom of the bay. Acoustic surveys have observed several large schools of herring in the area.

ALAN BALL has predicted a bright future for Everton - provided they spend the Wayne Rooney money wisely.
The Goodison legend has been saddened by the Blues' lack of success in the last decade.
But he believes that, despite losing one of the finest talents Everton has ever produced, David Moyes could be on the brink of transforming the club.
"I just hope the people who have got the money handle it wisely," said Ball.
"The window is closed now anyway, so they can't spend any of it. But they can put things into position and the most important thing in life when you are making big decisions is that if you snatch at it, you make mistakes.
"But Everton can put things in place and make sure they get the right people.
"The club cannot afford to waste whatever money is made available.
"After losing Rooney, how they spend the money in January is crucial. They have got to be really good buys and the club can't afford to make mistakes."

Holistic, pain-free, hi-tech family dental care – in English
- Why teeth are like the cogs in a Swiss watch -
What is holistic dental care?
Health is more than the mere absence of obvious disease or the treatment of dental disease, gum disease and tooth decay. Mercury and plastic, "composite" fillings and antiseptic mouth washes, like "Listerine" for example, do more harm than good, destroying the body´s delicate, symbiotic eco-systems.
Chemical mouth washes
Chemical mouth-washes destroy all the oral flora, the bad and the good bacteria. This desertification the mouth, the salivary glands, the taste buds, the tonsils, the cheeks, defenceless to air-borne fungi, bacteria, yeasts and moulds. Teeth which cannot be cleaned daily or dead teeth with low-grade, sub-clinical chronic infections and periodontitis evoke arteriosclerosis and a chronic debilitating immune rejection response. Gum disease, bad breath or halitosis, often caused by xerostomia or "dry-mouth" syndrome and periodontal bone destruction are still the most widespread, common global diseases.
Root-filled, dead teeth
Dead, root-filled teeth can harbour anaerobic, suppurative or dry gangrenous bacteria, a source of chronic infection which can debilitate the whole body. Any inadequately filled, root-canal treated teeth with no filling sealing the apical third of the root may be the cause of general health problems. The body´s immune system is constantly cranked up, on a "pilot light". This creates stress, steroid release, fatigue, arteriosclerosis and vascular and heart problems. Mis-diagnosed migraines, fatigue, neck, back, shoulder and pains can be caused by ill-aligned jaw joints. Often, spectacular general health improvements may occur following the extraction of pain-free, chronically infected teeth or non-vital, root-filled, dead teeth. Root-filled teeth can exhibit low-grade, festering abcesses, particularly if they are not filled and sealed to the apical third, where the secondary microscopic root canal-delta is situated. Often, apical abcesses or cysts, deep in the bone of the jaws can be seen on x-ray of dead teeth. I do not advocate the automatic extraction of all root-filled teeth. A dentist should cause no harm. A well done root-filling can last years and cause no general health problems. Only if a root-filled tooth is associated with a general health ailment, or if x-rays clearly show bone disease, or the filling is inadequate, should you consider further care.
Mercury-copper-tin toxic fillings
Toxic mercury amalgam, or grey,"lead" fillings, undergo material fatigue and creep, corrode, crack and crumble after several years, releasing poisonous mercury particles and droplets into the lymphatic, digestive, nervous and endocrine systems. Chronic heavy metal poisoning, from mercury or other metals, can cause many symptoms and diseases. Lead poisoning is well known. Mercury bio-accumulates in the food-chain and has been found in tuna. Some countries prohibit the use of mercury fillings in women, as mercury droplets can cross the placenta. It is illegal, an environmental crime, to pour mercury into the Rhine, but a dentist will invoice you to fill your tooth with it! The United Nations is now prohibiting the use of mercury in both thermometers and new dental fillings. A plastic material which flows, amalgam adapts its shape to the cavity but gives the tooth no strength. Larger cavities need cast restorations. An amalgam fillings are often over-challenged in large fillings.
White plastic fillings
Larger, plastic or "composite" fillings, while looking nice and white and cosmetic, but are often unable to be sealed hermetically at the gum margins due to polymerization shrinkage and unfavourable enamel crystal orientation. Bacteria enter and breed under the filling, invade the nerve and slowly kill the tooth. The result is an acutely painful abcess, a dry or suppurative anaerobic gangreneous infection and bacteraemia. The chronic, slow death of the tooth may be painless, with bone cavitation and destruction. The lymph glands swell and are painful, lethargy and general fatigue sets in. The eyes cease to shine. Old, fractured and unsatisfactory mercury or larger plastic fillings can be replaced with electrically and galvanically neutral, white porcelain. Composites are indicated only for small, one surface cavities.
Bite adjustment
Mandibular repositioning and bite adjustment may dramatically help many "migraine" and Parkinson sufferers by reducing the pressure at the base of the skull. Bruxism or "night-grinding" can be reduced or eliminated by balancing of the jaw in both its static and protrusive movement positions. Clicking jaws are not necessarily unhealthy. However, a scratching sound on opening may indicate arthritis and arthrosis. The lower jaw moves in two ways: the initial opening is a rotating movement, like a hinged door. As it opens further, the whole jaw glides forward and downwards, like a sliding door. Both jaw joints must be in harmony at each point of movement, in balance and harmony with the teeth and the muscles, to prevent pain and stress in the face, neck and shoulders. A bi-lateral balance of the facial muscle is important to enable the correct meeting of all the teeth at once, on booth sides, while closing and while chewing. Think of balancing the wheels on your car. Over-erupted teeth, poor crowns, dentures or fillings, tipped teeth or a disharmony of the two principal balancing curves of the biting surfaces of the teeth may cause imbalances. The jaw must open and close like well-fitting sliding door.
Missing teeth
The teeth and jaws should have a synchronized movement like a Swiss watch. Each tooth is like one cog in delicate system. Imagine your watch lost just one cog… Missing teeth not only cause a fatiguing imbalance or headache, but create a "domino effect": each missing teeth has a negative effect, both on its neighbouring teeth and also in the opposite jaw. Missing teeth mean less efficient and poor chewing and trituration, such that vitamins, fibre and essential elements are lost from an otherwise healthy diet. This, is turn, can cause then osteoporosis and diabetes,as well as obesity, heart attacks and strokes. Missing teeth mean that the remaining teeth have to work "overtime" to make up for the lost teeth.
Black, toxic mercury-amalgam filling, top left, with a white, leaking carious plastic filling. The contact point has been lost and food fibres between the teeth are causing pain, gum swelling, redness and bone infection. White fillings are only safe if used on one, small surface. Here, 4 of the tooth´s 5 surfaces have been patched up with a huge white plastic filling. White may look nice but the plastic material is contra-indicated for large fillings. Secondary caries and dental decay is present all around the unsealed margins. Both these teeth were infected and decayed. Leaking toxic mercury from the filling is erroneously praised for its ability to kill oral bacteria. The mechanical properties of these two plastic, flowing dental materials are far exceed in both restorations. This is "patchwork" dental care. General bodily health starts in your mouth We are what we eat: not only is a beautiful smile important. Teeth are the first part of the digestive system, important for general health and well-being. Even if you eat a good diet, the goodness cannot be absorbed into the body if it has not been chewed and prepared well in the mouth. A healthy diet, local seasonal food, prepared lovingly with patience and cooked well and eaten in peaceful, romantic surroundings, is important to both body and soul.
Domino effect
It takes two millstones to grind corn. It takes two to tango. Teeth also need their partners. If top teeth, say, are missing and not replaced, their partner teeth in the lower jaw cannot chew. It is as if they were also missing. One lost tooth means that two teeth loose function. These lonely partner teeth are now "unemployed". An imbalance occurs, like when your car wheels loose those little lead balancing weights and the steering wheel shudders. Your jaw joints becomes mis-aligned. Muscles in the face become un-balanced and tense. Migraine, wrinkles, back-pains and arthritis can result. The few teeth which still remain have to work overtime in your chewing factory. They quickly become exhausted and fatigued and they tip, tilt and are soon lost. Total tooth loss and full dentures are the logical result of the loss of even one tooth, due to this biological "domino effect".
Function, beauty and hygiene are our aim
I aim to give you value for your hard-earned money and life-long enjoyment from your beautiful new teeth.
You should be able to eat what you wish to eat, not what you can eat. Soft-bone diseases, osteoporosis, tooth decay, gum disease, periodontosis (Paradontose) diabetes, strokes and heart problems often arise when people cannot chew and eat those healthy foods that they would like to choose.
Your teeth and crowns should reflect the beauty of nature and be white and beautiful. Quality dental work looks natural. By definition, one should not be able to spot even "good" dental care. It should simply look natural. Even other dentists should have to look twice to see if your teeth are natural or the result of quality dental care. Hygiene: Your mouth and breath should be fresh, with no halitosis. Bad breath indicates stomach or dental decay and bad teeth and gums. your gums and teeth healthy. Each tooth should be 100% germ-free. Dental treatment of any kind should never be detrimental to your oral heath nor cause bad great or inflamed gums. Its not an understatement to say: "Health starts in the mouth".
The body is the temple of the soul. Both must be in harmony.
I reveal to all my patients "The 4 secrets your dentist never tells you", an holistic approach to empowering you, for motivating and maintaining health and preventing gum disease, tooth decay, tooth and bone loss. If you have read the above, you should now be feeling quite empowered.

Humanity has evolved from a beast to a human, from mere a hunter to an explorer, who has ability to use mind for reason. This reason has led mankind to get to the secrets of not only this blue planet but the universe. The 21st century has marked the apex of advancements. This century has made life of humans so easy that has never been before. The technological advancement that we are witnessing today has shown us directionality. It has elevated our status of being human.
In such innovative times it is important to note that where do we, being the very resident of this universe, stand. Disappointment catches the mind knowing that Pakistan was ranked at 131 out of 141 countries in the 2015 report of the Global Innovation Index — which explores the impact of innovation-oriented policies on economic growth and development. One of the reasons of such backwardness is our internal insecurities of being a nation. We have not yet got out of fulfillment of our basic necessities. Consider that if 40%of a country's population is earning their life below the poverty-line in which the people are deprived of basic necessities of life such as clothing, shelter, food, education and medication, such families and their children will be forced to think of their survival only, what else can be expected than being at threshold.
The Ministry of Science and Technology, upon inquiry from the National Assembly, stated in a report that the reasons for the country's poor ranking include:
According to a scrutiny organize and carry out by the government of Pakistan that shows that the poverty has increased approximately from 30% to 40% during the last decade, which is keeping our young generation from becoming creative minds which could actually turn into intellect. Whereas, technologically advanced nations invest in their youth considering them to be the vital future of their country. Studies suggest that when a child experiences science-related courses early in life, he or she is found to be encouraged to ask questions, think more critically, experiment, develop his/her reasoning skills, read and write. Children become better problem solvers and even experience a raise in their IQ when they are taught principles of logic, hypothesis testing and other methods of reasoning. These dimensions are all tackled in science practices. But what to say about a nation where 5.5 million children are out of schools. What type of critical thinking would they be creating? Under these circumstances, improving Pakistan's ranking on the innovation list is analogous to a fairytale coming true.
Healthcare is significantly affected by technological advancements, as technology both shapes and changes health information systems. There are a number of technological advancements which have contributed to lessen the mortality rate around the globe.
Pakistan is facing a health crisis with rising rates of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which disproportionately affect poor families, with possible side effects of disability and premature death, and worsening poverty as people pay for medical treatment out of their own pockets. With the help of Gene Therapy 2.0 scientists have solved fundamental problems that were holding back cures for rare hereditary disorders. Next they will see if the same approach can take on cancer, heart disease, and other common illnesses.
The report, "Ending Newborn Deaths," said in 2012 Pakistan had the highest rate of first day deaths and stillbirths at 40.7 per 1,000 births. One of many reasons for such high mortality rate can be identified as the unapproachability to hospitals in the remote areas of Pakistan. Many patients lose their lives on the way to hospitals. An important technology is the use of video conferencing, that allows clinicians/surgeons and physicians to interact with a distant patients due to time factor in a real time, and distance, give his/her expert advice and even interact with the patient. The video conferencing also help the physician to interact with different experts at the same time and make a decision.
Scientists are making remarkable progress at using brain implants to restore the freedom of movement that spinal cord injuries take away.
There is "water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink" due to contamination from pollution or other environmental issues. Due to usage of Dirty water as drinking water Hepatitis B, C and D is spreading in society very fast from last few years which is increasing deaths. The Lifestraw is a small cigar-shaped tube packed with some truly innovative engineering. This clever design purifies water from potential pathogens like typhoid, cholera, dysentery and diarrhea – all before they reach your lips. The Lifestraw is an inexpensive way to deliver potable water to those in need, and it is considered an icon of humanitarian product design.
Agricultural sector is the backbone of our economy. But the growth of agriculture in Pakistan is facing numerous problems. Due to various causes per acre yield is very low as compared to other developed countries. Farmers can get more than double-digit yield and profits by using modern techniques, machinery and certified seeds while cotton growers, in particular, can achieve productivity of 70-80 maunds (40kg) per acre with the help new hybrid seed varieties and latest farm practices. Following are the most recent modern techniques:
Agricultural robots: Also known as agbots, these are used to automate agricultural processes, such as harvesting, fruit picking, ploughing, soil maintenance, weeding, planting, irrigation, etc. Air & soil sensors: Fundamental additions to the automated farm, these sensors would enable a real time understanding of current farm, forest or body of water conditions. Equipment telematics: Allows mechanical devices such as tractors to warn mechanics that a failure is likely to occur soon. Intra-tractor communication can be used as a rudimentary "farm swarm" platform. Livestock biometrics: Collars with GPS, RFID and biometrics can automatically identify and relay vital information about the livestock in real time. Crop sensors: Instead of prescribing field fertilization before application, high-resolution crop sensors inform application equipment of correct amounts needed. Optical sensors or drones are able to identify crop health across the field (for example, by using infra-red light).
Vertical farming is a natural extension of urban agriculture; vertical farms would cultivate plant or animal life within dedicated or mixed-use skyscrapers in urban settings. Using techniques similar to glass houses, vertical farms could augment natural light using energy-efficient lighting. The advantages are numerous, including year-round crop production, protection from weather, support urban food autonomy and reduced transport costs.
Concluding, without the needed technology a lot of people are struggling with their health. Technology can save many innocent lives. Secondly the advanced technology improves industry by making it more effective, and what is vital today, safer for environment. Thus, the speed of improvement is huge and unpredictable. Technological advancements have shown a substantial growth concerned with each and every field whether it be the communication systems, astronomy, semiconductor devices, automobiles, and electronic devices of daily usage, bio-electronic devices, building and architectural design techniques or the computers. So in order to run with the pace of this technologically advanced world Pakistan needs to invest more in Science and Technology and must take initiative to call foreign researchers and scientists here to contribute to the technological advancement of Pakistan.

(Bloomberg) -- IBM announced a deal with sports and fitness retailer Under Armour Inc. to use machine learning technology from Watson and showed off an application for diabetic care developed with the supercomputer's data, highlighting the company's effort to expand Watson's capabilities for the health- care industry.
IBM and Under Armour released an updated fitness application for Apple Inc.'s iPhones that uses data powered by Watson, IBM Chief Executive Officer Ginni Rometty said Wednesday in a speech at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Separately, Medtronic Plc CEO Omar Ishrak joined Rometty on stage to unveil a prototype for a diabetes-management app that tests have shown may be capable of predicting hypoglycemic events as early as three hours in advance. The application still needs to go through regulatory review -- it will roll out this summer, Rometty said.
The ability to predict the hypoglycemic events is a "breakthrough," she said. "Up to three hours in advance is what prevents dangerous health events from happening."
Rometty is betting that Watson will be a major long-term growth area for International Business Machines Corp. as the Armonk, New York-based company works to reverse a 14-quarter revenue slide by shifting its focus to cloud computing and analytics. IBM has targeted Watson's services on health-care and the Internet of Things industries and has created company groups devoted to the two markets.
The technology provides what Rometty calls cognitive computing, using machine learning algorithms to produce prescriptive and predictive analysis. Revenue from the Watson unit -- expected to reach $1 billion in the near term -- now is included in the company's analytics group, which recorded $17 billion in sales in 2014.
Fitness Technology
Powered by Watson technology, Under Armour's application, UA Record, aggregates and analyzes an individual's health and fitness data to provide personalized coaching and advice. A few examples include the app telling a user the average steps taken daily and bed time for a person their age.
Under Armour has spent about $700 million buying companies that make mobile workout apps, such as MapMyFitness. The goal is to create what CEO Kevin Plank has called a "halo effect" to entice more purchases and loyalty from customers of the Baltimore-based company. It turned these acquisitions into a suite of software used by 155 million people that can integrate with a smartphone's motion sensors and other devices like Fitbit Inc.'s wristbands. All the activity can be tracked through the UA Record mobile app, which is a health dashboard that also has a link to the company's online store and its own social network.
Diabetic Care
Medtronic sells an insulin pump for diabetics that turns off when blood sugar gets too low and has approval for a device that sends readings to a patient's smartphone. Working with IBM, it wants to anticipate how each person's behavior will affect their blood-sugar levels and help them make choices to improve their health, said Hooman Hakami, president of Medtronic's diabetes group.
Patients with diabetes either don't produce or can't properly break down the hormone insulin, which converts blood sugar into energy. More than 29 million Americans have the disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The application demonstrated at CES gathers a patient's readings from Medtronic insulin pumps and glucose monitors, and combines them with information taken from the individual's activity trackers and diet. The system uses pattern recognition gleaned through IBM's Watson to provide feedback on how a patient can manage their diabetes.
The companies hope to eventually give patients real-time information on how their actions affect blood-sugar levels, and provide coaching that will help them adjust as needed to stay in a healthy range. For example, a patient may get a text telling them they have an 85 percent risk of developing low blood sugar within an hour and suggesting they closely monitor their levels and eat something if necessary.
The goal is to "make management of diabetes something you don't notice," Ishrak said at the event.

So I received an email this week from Dorito's who said they were going to send me a hamper of their new range of crisps to snack on when I'm writing about movies, watching films or working on a production. Even now whilst typing this post I have a bag of BBQ flavour Dorito's next to me to help me get through the next few paragraphs so whatever I'm doing I'm certainly putting them to good use.
The new Doritos Heatburst contains a subtle taste then slaps your mouth around a bit when the mini chilli capsules mixed into the tortilla release as you crunch. The crisps come in two flavours, a nice soothing Chipotle Cream and a BBQ flavour but once you bite, hold on tight, it gets a little spicy.
Whilst the heat isn't too crazy, it does sneak up on you due to the fact that the BBQ and Chipotle Cream flavours start off so smooth and subtle so you can instantly detect a change in heat after a few crunches. I had one crisp and it did absolutely nothing so grab yourself a small handful and the heat creeps up on you just that little bit quicker. It's a nice heat that you can handle very similar to the equivalent of a very fresh jalepeno or green chilli.
Doritos never asked me to type up a review or post the crazy little Instagram video that I did (below) but with them being so nice as to send me some freebies, it felt right that I should write up a little something for them.
Thanks Doritos!

ASEAN 2015 and K-12
In 2015, the ASEAN Economic Community will take effect. What does that mean for teachers and other professionals?
In 2016, there will be no incoming first year college students. High school graduates will go to Senior High (Grades 11-12) instead of college. Only those who will follow the academic track in Senior High will qualify for tertiary training. So from school years 2016-2017 and 2017-2018, there will be no incoming freshmen and sophomores. What will happen to college teachers then?
Your comment will be posted after it is approved.

The Russian Defense Ministry said on Friday that Russian Space Forces tested a Topol RS-12M intercontinental three-stage ballistic missile.
The missile was launched at 9:30 p.m. from the Kapustin Yar test range in southern Russia's Astrakhan Region. Spokesman Col. Igor Yegorov said the missile hit the designated target in a Kazakhstan test range.
The Topol RS-12M is a single warhead, and has been used by the Russian military since 1985. It has a range of 6,125 miles, and can carry a 550-kiloton nuclear warhead.
The missile also was tested successfully in October, when it hit its target in the Kazakhstan test range. The missile has been tested periodically since 2007 in order to confirm the stability of main characteristics, according to RT news service.
The life expectancy of the missile was initially 10 years, but with continued testing and improvements was extended to 25 years.
The Defense Ministry plans to replace its SS-18 Satan, SS-19 Stiletto and SS-25 Sickle (Topol) ICBMs with SS-27 Sickle-B (Topol-M) and RS-24 Yars missiles by 2021.
The missile is approximately the same size and shape as the United States' Minuteman intercontinental three-stage ballistic missile.

What is leflunomide, and how does it work (mechanism of action)?
Leflunomide is an oral, disease-modifying drug that is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Leflunomide reduces inflammation in the joints that is responsible for both the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and the destruction of joints. This reduces symptoms as well as the progressive deformities of the joints caused by the arthritis. Leflunomide reduces inflammation by suppressing the activity of immune cells responsible for the inflammation. Leflunomide suppresses immune cells by inhibiting dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, an enzyme that is necessary for the production of DNA and RNA. Without DNA and RNA the immune cells (and most other types of cells) cannot multiply or function (or exist). Because of its unique and different mechanism of action, leflunomide is of value when added to other medications used for treating rheumatoid arthritis. Leflunomide was approved by the FDA in September 1998.
What are the side effects of leflunomide?
The most frequently reported side effects are:
Other important side effects of leflunomide include:
- high blood pressure,
- chest pain, and
- abnormal heartbeats.
Since leflunomide suppresses the immune system, it may increase the risk to patients of infections. The most frequently reported infections involve the respiratory tract. Leflunomide may cause fatal liver failure. More often it causes abnormal liver tests in the blood, suggesting damage to the liver. The liver tests usually return to normal with continued treatment. The dose of leflunomide should be reduced if liver tests are persistently greater than twice the upper limit of normal, and leflunomide should be discontinued if the levels remain above three times the upper limit of normal despite a reduction in dose. Leflunomide should not be administered to individuals with liver problems.
Quick GuideRheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Symptoms & Treatment
What is the dosage for leflunomide?
The usual dose is 100 mg daily for the first 3 days, followed by 20 mg daily. Doctors may reduce the dose to 10 mg daily if side effects appear. It may require up to four weeks of therapy before improvement of the arthritis are seen. It is not known if ingestion of food or alcohol affects the absorption or action of leflunomide.
Which drugs or supplements interact with leflunomide?
Cholestyramine (Questran, Questran Light) and charcoal decrease the concentration of the active form of leflunomide in the blood probably by preventing absorption. Rifampin increases the blood concentration of the active form of leflunomide by 40% probably by increasing the conversion of leflunomide to its active form. This may increase the side effects of leflunomide. Increased activity of warfarin (Coumadin) by leflunomide has been reported rarely. Leflunomide also may increase the blood concentration of tolbutamide.
Is leflunomide safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Leflunomide is harmful to the developing fetus and should not be used during pregnancy.
It is unknown whether leflunomide accumulates in breast milk. Since leflunomide could cause harm to the infant, women taking leflunomide probably should refrain from breastfeeding.
What else should I know about leflunomide?
What preparations of leflunomide are available?
10 and 20 mg tablets
How should I keep leflunomide stored?
Leflunomide should be stored at room temperature 15 C - 30 C (59 F - 86 F).
Leflunomide (Arava) is a medication prescribed for the treatment of active rheumatoid arthritis. Arava reduces the symptoms, signs, and joint damage caused by rheumatoid arthritis. Side effects, drug interactions, and pregnancy safety should be reviewed prior to taking this medication.

HENKE WERMELIN & THE NIGHTSHIFT from Gothenburg, Sweden make their debut with the album The New Black Is Blue – a cavalcade of warm pop gems and fierce battle songs.
"The day after the right wing party won the swedish election I sat with my guitar and was gonna record a fight song to put on Facebook for my friends – and that was the start for Eat Your Money" Wermelin explains. The title of the song is taken from this Eat Your Money.
"I think it's fascinating, not to say funny, how 50% of the people vote for a politic that concerns itself with making priviliges for a minority according to the principle of the majority having less. It's like believing that everyone can win in a pyramid game" says Wermelin.
In the beginning of the new milennium Wermelin moved from Sundsvall in the north of Sweden to Gothenburg in the south.
The Nightshift was formed in the end of the first decade and the constellation released a single which profits were donated to the swedish Cancer foundation Cancerfonden. The theme of darkness and death haunts Wermelin as well on this release:
Despite a wealthy number of uptempo songs this is a rather gloomy and introspective record that deals with existence and desillusion as well as hope. Its conclusion might be that even if you shelved your hope for this world you might still wanna describe and criticize it. I mean, I still wanna dance while
the ship is sinking" Wermelin projects.
Large parts of 'The New Black Is Blue' was recorded by the members in the band. The work took longer than expected though and Wermelin had time to write yet another record!
"Yeah, se there's yet another record just waiting to be recorded" Wermelin promises, "…but first we're gonna play some shows this summer!"

Using a Medical Review Officer (MRO) to review and interpret a drug test result protects you, as the employer, from making decisions regarding an employee's claim that his or her drug test result was caused by a medication or medical treatment. It also keeps you from having to deal with the complicated issues related to the release or disclosure of private employee medical information.
Our MROs contact donors to determine if there is a legitimate medical explanation for a positive drug test result. If there is a legitimate medical explanation, the MRO will then obtain verification of a valid prescription or recent medical treatment. Once the verification is complete, then the MRO will release the drug test result to the employer as negative. The Department of Transportation (DOT) requires MRO review on every federal drug test result and we highly recommend that you have your non-DOT results reviewed by an MRO as well.

Have a question?

I still haven't received one my lamp+stands (in Canada), and haven't heard anything back from customer service despite being in contact since early January. Did everything fall to pieces when Adam left?
If I'm not getting my lamp+stand, I would at least like a refund.
Simon Plante on
There was no sound at first. I want to turn off the sound. Not useful when you put it in a kid bedroom. After a story dady will wake you up with a high pitch sound, is it ok with you son !!!!

Hi Adam,
First of all: THANK YOU!
I truly love the lamps!
As of writing this comment I leaned back in my office chair, looking into my living room to see if I see the question mark that is imprinted in the inside of the cube and guess what… I can see it. Currently I am about 8 meter way from the lamp.
I love the LvL UP and STAR that occasionally comes by.
Lamp is connected for over a week and it works perfectly! I am very happy with the end result.
I don't live in the US as you know but in Dubai. The US adapt is not a issue for me. I think comments about small things like that are completely unnecessary. If I (or anyone not from the US) want to buy a iPod or what ever, in the US, they would have experienced exactly the same problem. Some people just like to "comment"
Thank you and keep inventing!

After trying out the lamp for about 1 week, I must say that it has the tendency to continuously turn itself on if it is plugged in via a usb hub AND it turns itself on if someone walks by or when the ceiling fan is turned on. I must say that I am disappointed and annoyed at it being overly sensitive.
If you hold the lamp by the cord and just gently move it up and down, it also turns itself on. The block lamp has been unplugged and left hanging there for now.

What happened to the contest in Update #25? I was really trying to win it, but you never picked a winner. Of course by writing this now I probably can't win, but i want a winner picked. It's illegal to hold a contest and not follow through.

I had received my lamp + stand a few days back in India. It works well and I have been using it as a night light. The only thing that I did not like about the lamp was that the printed "Question Mark" was on the inner face of the lamp. So, you cannot really see the Question Mark that much when the lamp is off.
Kevin SegretiSuperbackeron
I have an issue where it turns on by itself if another light near it is turned on.
Philip CrowleySuperbackeron
I have had mine for a few weeks now - it also occasionally turns on/off by itself and sometimes needs to be unplugged to get it working again. It thought I heard going off a few times in the night by itself, but it is in my basement so it's hard to tell. I'm otherwise happy with it.
Suemitraa Thiagarajan on
Just got mine today here in Malaysia. So far so good. Lucky I have a international adapter. Will let you guys know if I come across any issues
Henrik C on
This could have been so awesome but oooh boy what a disappointment. There's some fundamental design issues with it that I can't believe got through design phase. =/
* It's yellow and not orange. Even in the videos and material it shows up mostly orange, sometimes yellow.
* The sound is off pitch and not true to the original coins sound. Not sure, but I think it's a bit long as well?
* You can't power hit it since there's a fixed non interruptible length of the sound.
* The question mark is on the inside and it looks all blurry/defocused and odd. Not at all like a question block we've all learned to love.
* Power adapter shipped to EU is a US one. You could have saved yourself a few bucks and don't ship that one at all since most of us will throw it away.
I loved the idea but not the final product. =/
Ming Ling Lim on
Got mine this morning. The only thing is that I have trouble putting the stand together, the paint is too thick? Will look at it again later. Tested it using my phone charger adapter and works though the sound is a little too sharp. Will comment more once I have it up and together.

@Chris same problem, my lamp arrived today and works on my laptop or even a powerbank (2A).
It fails to work with any of my 5 USB-Adapters for the wall outlet.
Chris Niekel on
Hi, my lamp arrived 2 weeks ago. This weekend we tried to hang it up, but it keeps beeping (and going on/off), as if the distance sensor spews out random noise. When pressing a finger to the hole it stopped. Is there any logic to it? I can't use the default USB-adapter (in Europe), is there a minimum amperage it should supply?
Antonio Lorenzo on
I've had mine for about 2 weeks, and It's truly an amazing thing. I'm a huge Mario fan and a gamer. Everyone is so amazed by it. Its practically the main piece in my room along with my computer, which makes me feel bad about about the lava lamp I received for Christmas (I use both for a big nostalgic effect). It's really just an awesome little gift. I love it, thank you for this fantastic lamp!
Kenneth Eagles on
Mine came today, all works but no tracking working once it got to LA.
Yoon Lee on
Im from Australia as well. Havent received the order. Messaged a few days ago but havent got a reply. I just sae below comments and emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com. Hoping this will be resolved soon as my order is way way overdue now.
Evan Schwartz on
Just opened my lamp today! It's so cool! I'm still trying to figure out how i'm going to hang it since I can't drill into the walls or ceiling in my dorm, but once I get it hanging it will look very nice. Thanks 8-Bit Lit!
8-Bit Lit Creator on
Hey everyone. I'm so sorry about the delay here, I've been at CES for the week. We had a few orders that fell through the cracks due to a logistics glitch. I've reached out to each of you individually to straighten things out. If you haven't received your order, or a tracking number, please email me at email@example.com.
Thanks so much,
Kenneth Eagles on
Finally got an email back today informing me that they have just sent it today!
Kenneth Eagles on
Hi Talissa. I'm in Australia as well. I have emailed twice and messaged them on here twice with no reply, no delivery, no tracking, nothing!
Talissa Bolitho on
Lamp still hasn't arrived, no shipment info and no reply to my email. I'm in Australia and getting concerned mine might have got lost in the mail (as do many other items I buy from the US)...Getting impatient
Mat Kuwitzky on
We were showing off our awesome ? Block lamp and suddenly we got it to do a invulnerable star music. Is this done Easter egg? Still haven't got it to replicate but it was EPIC!!!!!
Stephen Tang on
Hi Adam, I'm checking in to see if you received the email with the photos of the lamp. My lamp looks like it was assembled inside out (the question marks look like they are on the inside). Let me know if my lamp is built incorrectly or not. Thanks.
Kevin Daniels on
I received my lamp but two of the sides are upside down. Is there an easy way to open the lamp as I am afraid of cracking a side?
sean patrick steier on
Recieved mine 2 days before Christmas. In NY, UPS was beyond backed up cluster f$&@;?d. But side note, every 56 hits gives you a Star song with blinking lights!
Steve Hallwirth on
I have not received a tracking number or the lamp... What should I do? (international shipping to Austria)
BCotten on
"If you're in the US, everything should be arriving before Christmas. We're really sorry if UPS takes longer than expected. There are often issues with weather that cause minor delays.
Thank you everyone for your patience and understanding as we got the lamps out to you. Our main concern is that you're happy with the product, so if there's anything amiss, please email us at email@example.com."
P.S. Running out of patience
Kenneth Eagles on
Hi I still have not heard back from my 2 emails and my previous post on here. I still have not received any notification or tracking number that my lamp has been sent. Any help?
Evan Schwartz on
Happy New Year 8-Bit Lit! Can't wait to get my lamp after break!
8-Bit Lit Creator on
Hey everyone! So excited to hear that people are happy with the lamps : )
@Yogfei - the international shipping should take a couple weeks. It likely shipped out on the 16th or 17th of Dec, so you may still have a few days to go.
@Gary Moe - Concern understood. This is determined by the paint transparency on the inside of the lamp. For the next round we'll take this into consideration.
- Adam
Joe Huttlin III on
Got mine a few days ago. Love it guys, really. The hardest thing about it is deciding where to hand it. I also love the the other sounds!! Including 1Up & invincible mario sounds was genius. Looks and feel goods, works as expected.
Well done!
Gary Moe on
Is it just me or am I the only one that wish it was easier to tell what the block is with the light off? I mean with the light off I don't really see it as Mario Question Mark Block but more a yellow block with some dark squiggles on the sides. With the light on you can make out the question mark a lot better but even than the image of the question mark looks blurry / out of focus / faded.
Mark Heydt on
*cant figure out how
Mark Heydt on
Got my lamp and I love it. Also got mine to go into power star mode once, but I can figure out how I did it.

California Woman Secures $417 Million Verdict Against Johnson & Johnson
Last month, a Los Angeles Superior Court jury found that Johnson & Johnson must pay $417 million to a 63-year-old California resident. The plaintiff claimed she developed ovarian cancer from using products like Johnson & Johnson's Baby Powder for feminine hygiene. The verdict was the largest yet in a series of lawsuits claiming that the New Jersey-based company failed to adequately warn customers about the cancer risks present in their talc-based products.
The plaintiff developed terminal ovarian cancer following decades of using Johnson & Johnson talc-based products, specifically, its Baby Powder and Shower-to-Shower products. Her lawyers argued the company encourages women to use its products on their genitals, even though it knows studies link genital talc use to ovarian cancer. The plaintiff allegedly began using the products when she was 11. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2007.
Her attorneys cited several studies that pointed to a link between long-term genital talc use and ovarian cancer, including a 1982 paper suggesting that women who used talcum powder for routine feminine hygiene faced a 92% increased risk for the disease. They also highlighted internal Johnson & Johnson documents dating back to 1964 to prove that the company was aware of the potential danger.

Sarva-anga-asana: Sarva-all, anga-limbs, asana-posture. The Shoulder stand affects all parts of the body. It is called the Queen of asanas much like the Headstand is called the King of asanas.
Last week we learnt how to go about doing this. You can take this in stages – in fact, you have to. Remember, each stage can take months to achieve depending on your ability and body condition.
1) You should be able to raise the two legs to a vertical position while lying on the floor. Hold and breathe. This improves strength in your abdomen and upper legs.
2) With your legs in vertical position, raise your trunk to an incline position with your hands. The trunk should assume about a 45-degree mark. In this half-shoulder stand, you get the benefits of inversion without putting too much pressure on your neck.
You can use the wall as a support in doing both (1) and (2).
3) The third stage is when you are able to bring your trunk into the vertical position so it lines up with the legs. The hands are propping up the back.
The shoulder stand has a positive effect on the area of the throat and activates the thyroids. When you achieve the posture, you automatically assume the Throat lock or the Jalandhara Bandha. The heart finds it easier to pump and the blood flows easily into the brain. The brain gets nourished better. During the day when we stand upright, the blood has to flow against the gravity and less of it reaches the brain than say in a sleeping position.

I am looking to purchase a new fishfinder/echo sounder. Most of the diving we do here is on the reefs with a top between 10-50m with the seabed as deep as 65m, although we have some wrecks as well, deepest one at 65m.
When looking at the Garmins there is a choice between a dual beam (80/200 kHz, 45/15 deg angle) or a dual frequency ( 50/200 kHz, 40/10 deg angle) transducer.
Apart from the difference in angle, and that the resolution of the 80/200 is good to about 300m (900ft) while the 50/200 providing a good response down to 500m (1500ft) (which is somewhat irrelevant for my diving) I can find little back on other relevant differences between the two.
What is the difference between a dual beam and dual frequency transponder, which one is best for diving purposes, any experiences?

Magruder girls defeat Blake and move on in the playoffs
- Published in Sports
ROCKVILLE – The Magruder varsity girls basketball team had a rough practice a few days before opening their postseason Friday at home against Blake.
Colonels head coach Kashauna Cook said her team learned how to persevere during that difficult practice that involved running sprints for over an hour.
Cook's team test couldn't have come at a better time. Magruder's newfound perseverance was tested against a third quarter Blake surge that saw the Bengals pull within one point.
However, the Colonels refused to be 'one and done' in the playoffs and held on to beat Blake 57-46.

With the Academy Awards around the corner, Assistant Professor of Theatre Shelly Gaza talks Oscars, representation (including #Oscarssowhite) and the place of politics at award shows with Amanda Andrews. "It's the artist's job to be honest and open about what we see in our society," Gaza said. "Some people think it's an actors place to shut up and perform but I think that's a real disservice to the talent and the credit and the intellect of these actors and other artists in the film industry."
