ALOE POLYPHYLLA: SPIRAL ALOE - I want one of these - it looks so much cooler than a regular aloe plant. Fractals in nature
Aloe polyphylla- SPIRAL ALOE: Horticopia's Etsy - I would totally want one of these if I weren't so ridiculously emotionally attached to my ugly Aloe plant that has survived everything (including me) for 10 years.
Aloe polyphylla- SPIRAL ALOE #succulent Aloe really does work well for burns. My husband spilled a a pan of hot grease on his lower abdomen. Third degree burns, about an 8" circle. I had a very large aloe plant. He sliced open the leaves, laid them all over the burn, covered and taped. When it would start burning bad again, he repeated. Burn healed quickly with very little scar. It amazed everyone. #succulent #aloe
The plain old (we think) cactus family plant Aloe polyphylla- Spiral Aloe - is a mathematical example of Creation Design. This green succulent shows the math logic of The Fibonacci Sequence --the INFINITE series of numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ... where the next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it. -DdO:) - > http://www.pinterest.com/DianaDeeOsborne/logic-math-music - Pin via COOL PINTEREST BOARD lassetterjulie/spirals-and-fibonacci-swirls/
Aloe polyphylla- Spiral Aloe. I love aloe & aloe plants ... This one is beautiful

I love a good aloe plant! Aloe polyphylla: 'Spiral Aloe'

NORFOLK, Va. - State Troopers are investigating after a vehicle hit and killed a pedestrian on Tuesday.
Reports say the crash took place around 9:12 a.m., on I-64 in the westbound lanes of Evans Street, east of Executive Drive.
Police say the driver of a 2004 Subaru, Erick Duane Kaba, was traveling eastbound on I-64, when he lost control, went off the roadway, and drove through the median into the westbound lanes.
According to officials, Kaba overcorrected back into the median and struck an embankment, causing the vehicle to go airborne.
While the vehicle was airborne, it hit 23-year-old James C. Steinhauser, Jr., who was standing on Evans Street.
Steinhauser died upon impact, according to officials.
The driver was taken to Norfolk Sentara Hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.
The driver was not wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash, and police say alcohol was not a contributing factor.
According to officials, the case will be brought before the Norfolk Commonwealth Attorney's Office for review and determination of charges.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class has been a venerable stalwart in the luxury sedan market for decades now, consistently delivering a high level of comfort, style, and performance with each iteration. However, very few generations of this celebrated line of vehicles hold as much historical weight in the hearts and minds of car enthusiasts than the W124 generation, particularly the 260 4Matic Mt Sedan model, released between 1987 and 1993. These cars are widely acknowledged for finding a perfect balance between the prestige and opulence that has always been a hallmark of the Mercedes-Benz brand, and the technological and engineering advancements that are a prerequisite for any vehicle in the luxury sedan segment.
Under the hood, the 260 4Matic Mt houses an inline six-cylinder gasoline engine, a configuration that is famous for its balance and smoothness. Each cylinder has two valves, and with its 3.198-inch bore and 3.12 mm stroke cycle, this engine was able to generate as much as 160 horsepower at 5800 RPM – an impressive figure for its time. This engine’s torque peaks at 4600 RPM, transmitting power uniformly to all wheels. This intricate set up was complemented by a multi-point Fuel Injection system, which further ensured the engine’s optimum performance.
The W124 260 4Matic Mt had a 5-speed manual transmission, which offered drivers complete control over gear shifts. This combination of engine power and transmission capabilities resulted in a top speed of 127 mph and allowed the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 17 seconds – a laudable feat for a sedan. Furthermore, with a fuel tank capacity of 18 gallons and a recommended fuel grade of 92, this vehicle was designed to effectively balance performance and efficiency. On the handling side, the back suspension consisted of an independent, multi wishbone, stabilizer bar, significantly improving the driving experience. In conclusion, despite the lapse of several decades, the W124 260 4Matic Mt, with its impressive blend of technology and luxury, remains a benchmark of excellence in the luxury sedan market.

Ten years ago, my family and I moved to Milton not knowing what to expect. Shortly after, it became clear that we had chosen a great place to raise our family. I was raised on the East Coast, and despite the fact that Milton is one of Canada’s fastest growing communities, it had all the great qualities of a small town that appealed to us – a strong sense of community, great local businesses, and friendly people. We jumped with both feet in, became active members of the community, and haven’t looked back since.
Because of this, I’m fortunate to have extensive first-hand knowledge of Milton and surrounding areas and I’m always happy to share that information with others. I live in Dorset Park with my husband Andrew, who is a teacher, our daughter Rachel, our son Rylen, and our awesome dog, Pepper Penelope Fancypants. Yes, you read that correctly.
I entered the real estate industry as a photographer, and joined the Charlton Advantage team after getting my license. I have a background in account and brand management, but I really feel like I’m in the right career that I absolutely love. What fuels my passion and purpose in this industry is being able to help great people achieve their real estate goals, and to keep them safe and informed along the way. I love getting to know my clients, and continuing that relationship long after the home buying or selling process is complete.

Middle East Monitor / April 20, 2021
Palestinian Prime Minister, Muhammad Shtayyeh, yesterday called on the US to immediately intervene and curb Israeli plans to build more than 12,000 settlement units in the occupied West Bank.
In his opening statement during the cabinet’s weekly meeting in Ramallah, Shtayyeh said Israeli settlement expansion plans undermine international efforts aimed at establishing a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
He condemned the repeated Israeli attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque and Muslim worshippers.
He also condemned the occupation authorities’ arrest of a number of Palestinian candidates for the legislative elections in the occupied city of Jerusalem, and prevention of Palestinian factions from holding press conferences ahead of the elections.
He noted that Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki is currently visiting Brussels to mobilise the international community to support Palestinian plans to hold the elections in Jerusalem.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced a plan to ban sales of menthol-flavored cigarettes in the United States, a measure many public health experts hailed as the government’s most meaningful action in more than a decade of tobacco control efforts (Source: “FDA Moves to Ban Sales of Menthol Cigarettes,” New York Times, April 28, 2022).
The ban would most likely have the deepest impact on Black smokers, nearly 85% of whom use menthol cigarettes, compared with 29% of white smokers, according to a government survey. If effective in reducing smoking, the ban could significantly diminish the burden of chronic disease and limit the number of lives cut short by one of the most hazardous legal products available.
Public health experts say menthol cigarettes have been heavily marketed to Black people, to devastating effect: African American men have the highest rates of lung cancer in America, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

We report for the first time the growth of high quality films of metastable α-Sn. The structural properties of the molecular beam epitaxy grown metastable α-Sn are investigated by means of in situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) analysis, scanning electron microscopy including electron channeling patterns, and high-resolution x-ray scattering techniques. Scanning electron microscopy reveals a growth morphology of smooth and uniform surfaces. RHEED patterns yield a highly streaked (2×1) surface reconstruction suggesting a layer-by-layer growth mechanism. Triple-axis x-ray diffractometry was employed to determine structural parameters and the strain distribution. In-plane rocking scans of the (400) reflection indicate a half width of 3 arcsec for the heterostructure α-Sn/InSb. Out-of-plane scans reveal a tetragonal distortion perpendicular to the film plane, contributing a net strain of ∼0.28%. These results are in quantitative agreement with values calculated using simple elastic theory.

Saturday’s NBA slate is on the smaller side. There are three games to choose from, and the main DraftKings slate gets underway at 7:00 p.m. ET. Let’s dive into some of the top options to consider at each position.
Chris Paul, Phoenix Suns vs. Indiana Pacers ($7,800) – Saturday’s slate is a small one, so there aren’t a ton of stud options to choose from. Point guard is particularly thin, especially if
Malcolm Brogdon (questionable; $7,400) sits out for the Pacers.
However, Paul is worth some consideration. He’s been a solid source of value recently, returning value in six of his past nine games, and he’s scored at least 45.5 DKFP in back-to-back contests. The Suns also have one of the best matchups of the day vs. the Pacers, and their implied team total of 116.0 ranks second on the slate.
Other Options – Jrue Holiday ($7,700), Josh Giddey ($7,000)
Donte DiVincenzo, Milwaukee Bucks vs. Sacramento Kings ($3,300) – The best matchup of the day belongs to the Bucks, and it’s really not even that close. They’re taking on the Kings, who rank eighth in pace and 27th in defensive efficiency. The Bucks are currently implied for 122.0 points, which is the top mark on the slate by a sizable margin.
DiVincenzo is a cheap way to get some exposure to the Bucks. He’s priced at just $3,300, and he should see at least 20 minutes in this matchup. That’s not a ton of playing time, but DiVincenzo has averaged 0.77 DKFP per minute this season. That should be enough to give him a chance to return value.
Other Options – George Hill ($3,400), Rajon Rondo ($3,400)
Devin Booker, Phoenix Suns vs. Indiana Pacers ($8,900) – Booker has been on a heater recently. He’s scored at least 28 points in four straight games, and he’s increased his production to 1.25 DKFP per minute over the past month. He benefits from the same strong matchup as Paul, and he owns arguably the highest ceiling on the slate if Giannis Antetokounmpo (doubtful; $12,100) ends up sitting.
Other Options – Mikal Bridges ($5,000)
Cameron Payne, Phoenix Suns vs. Indiana Pacers ($4,600) – If you’re looking to go cheaper with the Suns, Payne is always a viable option. His minutes are typically capped at around 23, but he makes up for it with strong per-minute production. Payne has averaged 1.01 DKFP per minute over the past month, so he has the potential to pay off his price tag in limited minutes.
Other Options – Grayson Allen ($4,000), Jeremy Lamb ($3,300)
Khris Middleton, Milwaukee Bucks vs. Sacramento Kings ($8,700) – Middleton should be asked to carry the load Saturday for the Bucks. Jrue Holiday ($7,700) is still playing limited minutes while working his way back from an injury, while Antetokounmpo has been downgraded to doubtful. Middleton has seen a team-high usage bump of 6.4% with Antetokounmpo off the court this season, resulting in an average of 1.26 DKFP per minute.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Bucks PF/C Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and SG/SF Grayson Allen (hip) have been ruled out tonight vs. the Kings.
Other Options – Lu Dort ($5,300)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Pacers PG Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) and PG/SG Caris LeVert (calf) have been ruled out Saturday vs. the Suns.
Chris Duarte, Indiana Pacers @ Phoenix Suns ($5,200) – The Pacers have the potential to be pretty shorthanded on Saturday. Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner remain out of the lineup while
Brogdon and Caris LeVert ($7,900) are questionable.
Brogdon and LeVert are active, Duarte should be asked to carry a sizable workload. He’s coming off 38.5 minutes in his last outing, and he’s scored at least 47.25 DKFP in two of his past three games. He’ll face a difficult matchup vs. the Suns, but Duarte is simply too cheap at $5,200.
Other Options – Cameron Johnson ($4,300), Isaac Okoro ($3,800)
Lauri Markkanen, Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder ($5,500) – Power forward is one of the weaker positions on Saturday’s slate, so going down to someone like Markkanen makes sense. He’s coming off a massive performance in his last game, finishing with 43.25 DKFP over 32.6 minutes. Markkanen continues to play a healthy number of minutes for the Cavaliers, and he’s averaged a strong 0.89 DKFP per minute over the past month. He’s also been priced down to just $5,500, making him a bit cheaper than usual.
Other Options – Evan Mobley ($7,500)
Kevin Love, Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder ($5,100) – Love’s salary has come back to reality. He was priced as high as $7,600 earlier this month, but he’s down to just $5,100 on Saturday’s slate. That makes him an excellent buy-low target. Love isn’t playing as many minutes as he was back then, but he’s capable of racking up fantasy points quickly. He’s averaged 1.35 DKFP per minute this season, so he doesn’t need more than 20 minutes to potentially pay off his current salary.
Other Options – Isaiah Jackson ($3,800)
Bobby Portis, Milwaukee Bucks vs. Sacramento Kings ($6,700) – Portis continues to get no respect across the industry. He routinely racks up 32-plus minutes for the Bucks, and he’s averaged 1.15 DKFP per minute this season. Portis also owns one of the best individual matchups at the position, with the Kings struggling against opposing centers this season.
Other Options – None
Richaun Holmes, Sacramento Kings @ Milwaukee Bucks ($4,300) – Holmes is officially back in action for the Kings, and he logged 27.9 minutes in his last contest. That makes him massively underpriced at $4,300. Holmes has averaged 1.03 DKFP per minute this season, so he has the potential to destroy this price tag if he sees a comparable workload vs. the Bucks.
Other Options – Goga Bitadze ($4,700), Bismack Biyombo ($4,200)

In a patient presenting with a cystic mass in left sided retroperitoneum, it is always a challenge to differentiate between a pseudopancreatic cyst from tail of pancreas or an adrenal cyst. One can utilize the splenic vein sign. On CECT, if the cyst is lying below the splenic vein (Fig. 1A) then it is likely to be an adrenal cyst while if the cyst is above the splenic vein, then is likely to be arising from the pancreas (Fig. 1B). Thus, this sign can be used by clinicians to ascertain the origin of left-sided retroperitoneal cyst.

PARSIPPANY, N.J., April 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Utilities across North America are bracing themselves for an active hurricane season. According to Colorado State University, 18 named storms are expected to make their way through the Atlantic Ocean this year and 9 of those will be major hurricanes. Unfortunately, last year witnessed twice the number of hurricanes than predicted including Hurricane Sandy. The entire season claimed 354 lives and took at least a $78 billion hit on the economy. Numerous utilities have turned to Macrosoft's Resources on-Demand to manage restoration efforts during a storm or other emergency power outage.
Specifically designed for electric utilities, Resources on-Demand is the Industry Standard and only commercially available storm center automation solution available to the marketplace. The Resources on-Demand tool manages resource requests, tracks personnel movements, and supports lodging/logistics during a power restoration event. It is used extensively by both large and small utilities throughout North America and the result has been quicker restoration, cost savings and a streamlined approach to outage management.
"Our clients recognize the inefficiencies of manual processing and spreadsheets to manage storms and appreciate a single central database ensuring consistent and accurate data entry and retrieval by concurrent users," said Jason Singer, Director of Macrosoft's Utilities Practice. "We look forward to helping utilities to returning power back in an efficient manner this hurricane season."
Damage assessment in these hurricanes has been another pain point. Assessments on-Demand is a robust system capturing live damage data in the field. It is easy to use, for both employees and contractors. Damage crews can use their smartphones, mobile data terminals, and other portable devices. It is scalable for day-to-day operations as well as large scale events.
Macrosoft's Outage Central, http://www.outagecentral.com/, is a Web portal designed to help utility emergency resource personnel get comprehensive outage links, severe weather alerts, and outage news.

The pension ACT gives backing to Pension fund administrator (PFA) for a mandatory pension contributions scheme.
The launching of the Micro Pension Plans by President buhari have broaden the scope of fund administrators in Nigeria.
This is wake up call for the sleeping giant in us, through the right institution and political will it be a success.
Prior to the introduction, it was Private and Public company or agency’s that are mandated by the ACT to contribute. The private and public company or organization make up of only 10 to 20℅ of Nigeria workforce.
With the introduction of the Micro Pension Plans, the Independent and Dependent contractor’s e.g Lawyers, Doctors, Engineers, Mechanics, Okada riders, Traders e.t.c. can access it.
The Micro Pension Plans is workable, good and Provide a guarantee for retiree/ future .
When it is activated you can start by;
- Open account with a bank
- You can contribute daily, weekly, Monthly or whatever you earn money.
- It is flexible you can contribute as much as you want.
- After three months you can withdraw on contingent basis but only 40℅ of what you contributed.
- You can have access to 40% of what you contributed but the 60℅ will be kept until you are 65 years above.
- As a civil servants you can do both the mandatory or the Micro Pension plan.
- Any Person working in Nigeria from the age of 18 years is eligible to contribute
There are quite a numbers of human flaws, which must be dealt with to strengthen the institution for effective implementation. e.g the Pension Board unlike the NSITF board should be inaugurated to check the activities of the agency, The inauguration of the the Pension Board will facilitate constant reviewing of Pension Plans every 5 (five) year.
Let PFA be rated like Banks to make them be on their toes. The delay in payment of retiree should be checked.
Let Penalized delayed in Pension activities to serve as deterrent to others.
Policy and management experts believed the launching is commendable, it will serve as a recipe for employee.
Aggressive sensitization should be done.
Local PFA should be encouraged in each state and LGA this will facilitate contributions from the 70% Nigeria workforce .
If this is done; It will creates Employment, it will enhance investment in capital and money Market and this will boost investment and infrastructure development.
Lagos, Kaduna, Delta etc are doing well in the mandatory Pension scheme, as a Deltans I hope the Delta State Government will lead also in the Micro Pension Plans.

A young man was arrested Thursday morning, after police say he bit a significant piece of his infant son’s nose off.
Officers responded to an Alaska Avenue apartment upon getting a call from a “hysterical” woman about her son’s nose bleeding. Police say the child’s parents and several other family members were there, along with the one-month-old baby.
The child’s father, 18-year-old Joshua Cooper, was apparently upset by the child’s crying and bit a third of baby’s nose off, according to Fairfield Police.
The baby was taken to the hospital, where doctors say it was suffering from a severed nose, a fractured skull and hemorrhaging brain. Police are investigating how the skull and brain injuries happened.
The child is said to be in stable condition.
Cooper was booked into jail for child cruelty and aggravated mayhem.


The engineers at Husqvarna have also worked on improving handling and engine response at low revs.
Its two biggest four-strokes, the TE449 and TE511, have received the most attention, and now sport a new one-piece read mudguard, black frame, new wiring harness, silver anodised rims, a reduced seat height (thanks to a 4mm shorter shock barber), revised engine mapping, graphics, reworked suspension settings, and a new WP radiator.
The TE250 and TE310 get a new Kayaba shock absorber, new handlebar clamps, the forks get a harder spring and new hydraulic adjustment, and there’s a new LeoVince exhaust system. In the new TE series, the Excel rims are anodised silver, and the new graphics are in-mould, integrated to the plastic structure, making them impervious to repeated power washes. The handlebar also has new clamps.
The WR125/250/300 two-stroke range sees less attention with the images indicating they retain the Sachs shock and cable-operated clutch. Receiving the same facelift as its counterparts, the WR300 continues to be a popular two stroke enduro machine, loved for its lightweight and power by average riders and pros such as Sebastien Guillaume alike.
Pricing and availability are yet to be announced by the BMW-owned company.
Meanwhile, Husqvarna is working on their new 900cc streetbike, which will come more as a supermoto-flavored streetfighter machine.


CNN Crew in Joplin, MO, refused entry to makeshift Morgue located at end of rural road in the middle of nowhere
What on earth is going on in Joplin, MO?
Why would local law enforcement create such a huge perimeter around a makeshift morgue purposely designed to handle the growing number of victims resulting from the freak tornado’s that hit the area? Why would local law enforcement have a checkpoint on the road leading to the morgue and more importantly, why would these officials demand CNN’s camera be turned off and placed into the back seat of the car? Wierd?

Trial Comparing Cardiovascular Safety of Insulin Degludec versus Insulin Glargine in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes at High Risk of Cardiovascular Events

Efficacy and Safety of Degludec versus Glargine in Type 2 Diabetes. N Engl J Med 2017;377:723-732.
Sponsor: Novo Nordisk A/S
Study Design: Randomized, parallel assignment, double masked
Primary Outcome Measure: Time from randomization to first occurrence of a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE): cardiovascular (CV) death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), or non-fatal stroke
Results: The primary outcome occurred in 325 patients (8.5%) in the degludec group and in 356 (9.3%) in the glargine group (hazard ratio, 0.91; 95% confidence interval, 0.78 to 1.06; P<0.001 for noninferiority). The mean A1C was similar between the two groups, with a significantly lower fasting glucose in the degludec group than in the glargine group (128±56 vs. 136±57 mg/dl, P<0.001). Severe hypoglycemia occurred in 187 patients (4.9%) in the degludec group and in 252 (6.6%) in the glargine group (rate ratio, 0.60; P<0.001 for superiority; odds ratio, 0.73; P<0.001 for superiority).
Summary: This Phase 3 trial enrolled patients with Type 2 diabetes who were at high risk for cardiovascular (CV) events to assess CV safety as compared with insulin glargine. A total of 7,637 patients was randomly assigned to receive either degludec (3,818 patients) or glargine (3,819 patients) once daily, with 98% having completed the final follow-up visit or died during the trial and vital status known for 99.9% of the patients. The median observation time was 1.99 years, and the median exposure time was 1.83 years. The mean age at entry was 65.0 years with mean duration of diabetes of 16.4 years and mean A1C of 8.4±1.7%. At baseline, 83.9% were receiving insulin, with 54.8% on a basal-bolus regimen. There was no significant between-group difference in changes of A1C levels throughout the trial.
The primary composite outcome of first occurrence of death from CV causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction or nonfatal stroke occurred in 325 patients (8.5%) in the degludec group and in 356 patients (9.3%) in the glargine group, meeting criteria for noninferiority but not superiority.
Severe hypoglycemic events decreased with degludec: 280 events in 187 patients in the degludec group and 472 events in 252 patients in the glargine group. The rate was 3.70 events per 100 patient-years in the degludec group and 6.25 events per 100 patient-years in the glargine group, which met criteria for superiority. In addition to the 40% decrease in severe hypoglycemia, there was a significant 53% decrease in nocturnal severe hypoglycemia.
These data are important because they show that CV events do not increase with this (relatively) new basal insulin. More importantly, overall severe hypoglycemia and nocturnal severe hypoglycemia both decrease with insulin degludec more than when insulin glargine was first introduced compared with NPH insulin. Given the importance of decreased hypoglycemia in the choice to transition patients from NPH to insulin glargine, we must now consider the process of moving forward to transition to insulin degludec with a goal of further reduction in nocturnal and severe hypoglycemia.

Sponsor: Janssen Research & Development, LLC
Study Design: Randomized, parallel assignment, quadruple masked (participant, care provider, investigator, outcomes assessor)
Primary Outcome Measure: Time to first occurrence of major adverse CV events, including CV death, nonfatal MI and nonfatal stroke.
Results: The rate of the primary outcome was lower with canagliflozin than with placebo (occurring in 26.9 vs. 31.5 participants per 1000 patient-years; hazard ratio, 0.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.75 to 0.97; P<0.001 for noninferiority; P=0.02 for superiority). The renal outcomes are statistically significant but show a possible benefit of canagliflozin with respect to the progression of albuminuria (hazard ratio, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.67 to 0.79) and the composite outcome of a sustained 40% reduction in the estimated glomerular filtration rate, the need for renal-replacement therapy or death from renal causes (hazard ratio, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.47 to 0.77). Adverse reactions were consistent with the previously reported risks associated with canagliflozin, except for an increased risk of amputation (6.3 vs. 3.4 participants per 1000 patient-years; hazard ratio, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.41 to 2.75); amputations were primarily at the level of the toe or metatarsal.
Summary: Mean age of participants was 63.3 years, with 35.8% women. The mean duration of diabetes was 13.5 years, and 65.6% had a history of cardiovascular disease. The mean difference in A1C between the canagliflozin group and the placebo group was –0.58%. As expected, there was weight loss and lowering of blood pressure in the canagliflozin group.
The rate of the primary outcome was lower with canagliflozin than with placebo (occurring in 26.9 vs. 31.5 participants per 1000 patient-years; hazard ratio, 0.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.75 to 0.97) with a p value <0.001 for noninferiority and p=0.02 for superiority. Superiority was not shown for the first secondary outcome in the testing sequence (death from any cause; P=0.24); therefore, further hypothesis testing was discontinued, meaning that the other fatal secondary outcomes, including death from any cause and from cardiovascular causes, are not considered significant. Similar to the prior study with empagliflozin, there was a decrease in hospitalization for heart failure, suggesting this may be a class effect.
The renal effects are very interesting. Based on trial design, they are not considered statistically significant, but canagliflozin was associated with a decrease in progression of albuminuria, eGFR, the need for renal-replacement therapy and death from renal causes.
The amputation data were unexpected, and the significance is unclear. This represents a patient population not usually included in clinical trials. The other agents in this class did not collect data on amputations and thus cannot go back to assess this end point. The issue of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) and amputations raises an important question that deserves to be studied in a trial dedicated to glucose control in people with PVD, who tend to already have multiple complications related to Type 2 diabetes.
Together, these outcomes demonstrate the value of the SGLT-2 class and, specifically, canagliflozin on outcomes that are crucial to decreasing the morbidity and mortality associated with Type 2 diabetes.

Sponsor: University of Glasgow
Study Design: Allocation: randomized, parallel assignment, triple masking (participant, care provider, investigator)
Primary Outcome Measure:
Change in average mean far wall common carotid artery IMT (timeframe: 0, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months)
Results: In all, 428 people with Type 1 diabetes were randomly assigned, with 219 allocated to metformin and 209 to placebo. Progression of mean common carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT) was not significantly reduced with metformin (–0.005 mm per year, 95% CI –0.012 to 0.002; p=0.1664), although maximal cIMT (a pre-specified tertiary outcome) was significantly reduced (–0.013 mm per year, –0.024 to –0.003; p=0.0093).
A1C [mean 8.1% (SD 0.9) for metformin and 8.0% (0.8) for placebo at baseline] was reduced on average over three years by metformin treatment (–0.13%, 95% CI –0.22 to –0.037; p=0.0060), but this was all accounted for by a reduction at the three-month time point that was not sustained thereafter.
Body weight and LDL cholesterol were reduced with metformin over three years of treatment; eGFR was increased; and insulin requirement was not reduced on average over three years. There was no effect on endothelial function, as measured by reactive hyperemia index, or on retinopathy. Discontinuation of treatment in 59 (27%) participants on metformin versus 26 (12%) on placebo (p=0.0002) was mainly due to an excess of adverse gastrointestinal effects, and there was no increase in hypoglycemia with metformin.
One of the pre-specified safety measures was assessment of the risk of biochemical vitamin B12 deficiency, which was more than doubled over three years on metformin (12%) versus placebo (5%).
The purpose of this study was to assess whether metformin treatment (added to titrated insulin therapy) reduced atherosclerosis, as measured by progression of cIMT in adults age 40 or above with Type 1 diabetes of at least five years duration and at increased risk for cardiovascular disease. CV risk was determined by having at least three of the following 10 risk factors.
BMI ≥27; current A1C >8.0%; established CVD; strong family history of CVD (at least one parent, biological aunt or uncle, or sibling with MI, stroke or a coronary artery bypass graft at younger than 60 years); current smoker; microalbuminuria; eGFR <90; hypertension (BP ≥140/90 mm Hg or established antihypertensive treatment); dyslipidemia (or on established lipid-lowering treatment); and diabetes duration >20 years.
Treatment with metformin did not improve cIMT, as a measure of CV risk, in people with Type 1 diabetes over three years of therapy. Furthermore, there was not a significant decrease in insulin requirements. There was, however, a clinically relevant decrease in body weight of 1.7 kg that was statistically significant.
This study is very important because it formally tested, in a randomized controlled trial, the potential CV benefit. The authors concluded that “these data do not support use of metformin to improve glycemic control in adults with long-standing Type 1 diabetes as suggested by current guidelines.” However, they do suggest, presumably based on the modest decreases in weight and LDL-C, that there may be some role for metformin in long-term CV risk management for people with Type 1 diabetes. While these decreases in LDL-C would need to be sustained over many years, it is important to note that the groups were balanced with 81% to 82% statin use. Importantly, this study does not support the use of metformin in Type 1 diabetes, at least not for primary prevention of CVD.

But while the acquisition will no doubt open new doors for HPE, it also stands to raise Aruba’s profile in the competitive SD-WAN market, and position the vendor to directly challenge Cisco, said Shin Umeda, VP at Dell’Oro Group, in an interview with SDxCentral.
Trials are well underway around the world as the industry progresses to 5G operating in standalone mode, and “vendors and service providers are working together to learn about the intricacies of implementing 5G SA, which primarily means implementing the 5G core for 5G New Radio (NR) base stations,” Dave Bolan, research director at Dell’Oro Group, wrote in a recent report.
“Charter’s entry is a big deal because it’s the first cable operator to officially announce its intention to apply for RDOF funds,” said Dell’Oro Group’s Jeff Heynen, senior research director for broadband access and home networking, in an email to FierceTelecom. “It certainly won’t be the only cable operator to do so, but it will likely be the largest. I think there will be a number of cable operators—think NCTC members—that will also apply for RDOF funds.
CBRS investments accelerated in the first quarter of this year, driven by Fixed Wireless Access and capacity augmentations. Dell’Oro Group has been tracking CBRS developments for the past several years, with periodic updates to its outlook. VP Stefan Pongratz, who heads up the analysis firm’s Radio Access Network and telecom capex areas of study, said that while it has taken longer than anticipated for CBRS to come to fruition, that has largely been due to regulatory-related delays rather than issues on the demand side.
A survey conducted by the Ethernet Alliance reveals how those working with and installing PoE devices feel about the murky interoperability climate and the impact of product certification. Power over Ethernet (PoE) has become nearly ubiquitous for powering IoT devices, such as access points, phones, and cameras, and this may be a prelude to the next wave of growth. The Dell’Oro Group forecasts annual shipments of PoE ports to grow from 130 million in 2020 to 168 million in 2024.

Every year, more than three million children nationally are reported abused or neglected. Despite the states’ attempts to help, many of these kids become trapped in the court and child welfare maze and can spend their childhood moving from one temporary shelter to another.
This is where you can step in by becoming a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer.
CASA of Kankakee County, a program of Child Network, is seeking both male and female volunteers for its upcoming training class that will be held from January 6 – February 7. No special background or education is required to become a CASA. Volunteers from all cultures and professions and of all ethnic and educational backgrounds are welcome. Volunteers must be at least 21 years of age and willing to submit to background checks.
Once accepted into the program, volunteers will receive all necessary training in courtroom procedures, social services, the juvenile justice system and in servicing the special needs of abused and neglected children. The training course follows the National CASA’s Flex Learning curriculum. This program allows trainees to complete half of the course material online; meeting together as a group once a week. The training consists of 30 hours of classroom and online coursework utilizing a training manual containing content, objectives, and activities to develop advocacy skills. The curriculum models the values of respect and responsibility and focuses on knowledge, skills and attitudes to be a successful advocate.
CASA volunteers are assigned to an abused and/or neglected child in the Kankakee County Court System and develop relationships with the children they serve. They also work closely with social service caseworkers, parents, counselors and the court, spending an average of 10 hours per month on a case. Through these relationships, CASA volunteers then make independent recommendations to the judge as to the best interests of the children. Cases are considered complete when the child has found a safe and permanent home.
If you are interested in making a difference in a child’s life by becoming a CASA or would like more information, please call Erica Erickson at 815-936-7372 or send her an e-mail at email@example.com. You may also complete an application on the Child Network website at www.ChildNetwork.org.
Child Network is a non-profit agency working in Kankakee and Iroquois Counties to improve the response to child sexual and physical abuse and to advocate for the best interest of abused and neglected children in the juvenile court system. CASA Kankakee County is a member of the Illinois Association of CASA and the National CASA Association.

If you love movies, then you must know the importance of the Toronto Film Festival. There were lots of movies there that deserve everybody’s attention, and the gala this year was one of the most interesting ever, so let’s see which ones were among the best ones.
1.Jackie. The movie uses extensive close-ups to show how the week after the assassination of John F. Kennedy went. The First Lady is shown there, and Natalie Portman does an excellent job with this production.
2.Nocturnal Animals. Tom Ford showed us in 2009 how great he is at directing a movie with “A Single Man”. Now he comes back with “Nocturnal Animals”, which is a melodrama about revenge that includes some mock pomposity. Here, Amy Adams is an art gallery owner and acts fantastically.
[media-credit name=”Source: Standard” align=”aligncenter” width=”1024″][/media-credit]
3.Denial. The title sounds just like you would expect the movie to be: it’s a drama that discusses history and demagoguery. Mick Jackson directs it, Rachel Weisz and Timothy Spall play in it, and it seems to be a metaphor for our Trumpian political landscape, so what could you want more?
4.Loving. This is a sensitive portrait of a couple, but not any couple. They were involved in the 1967 Supreme Court decision, which led to allowing interracial marriages. Jeff Nichols, the director, manages to show they were regular people who never wanted to be heroes.
5.A United Kingdom. This is a biopic directed by Amma Asante about Seretse Khama, played by David Oyelowo. He is the president of Botswana who marries a white woman and thus raised controversy not only in his country, but also internationally. His wife’s role is played by Rosamund Pike, and the two of them manage to make a successful movie that totally deserves to be seen.
Of course, there are lots of others movies that should get your attention, but it’s hard to choose where to begin with.

The Speechwriter: A Brief Education in Politics
The Speechwriter brings you contained in the spin room of the fashionable baby-kisser in “a wry and eloquent memoir” (The Wall highway Journal) that's “the top e-book approximately politics I’ve learn in years” (GQ) and “will turn into a vintage” (The Washington Post).
Everyone is aware this type of flesh presser: a charismatic maverick who is going up opposed to the method and its methods, yet thinks he doesn’t need to reside through the foundations. via his personal event as a speechwriter for a debatable governor, Barton Swaim tells the tale of a band of believers who connect themselves to this kind of bold narcissist—and what occurs whilst all of it comes crashing down.
As The Washington Post placed it, “The Speechwriter sounds like Veep meets All the King’s Men—an enjoyable and engrossing booklet not only in regards to the absurdities of operating within the press store of a Southern governor but in addition concerning the which means of phrases in public life.” Swaim paints a portrait of a md so principled he’d quite sweat than use kingdom cash to pay for air con, so oblivious he’d put on an analogous stained blouse for 2 weeks, so egotistical he’d belittle his staffers to make himself think greater, and so self-absorbed he by no means as soon as apologized to his employees for making his management the laughingstock of the rustic. at the floor, this can be the tale of 1 politician’s upward thrust and fall. yet finally, it’s a narrative approximately us—the very genuine those that are looking to think in our leaders and needs to discover ways to live to tell the tale with damaged hearts. The Speechwriter is “a wryly humorous, superbly written…dissection of what it's wish to practice a thankless task for an unreasonable individual in a dysfunctional office…A marvelously pleasing ebook. It’s transparent [Swaim] spent many years on it, simply because he’s made it glance so easy” (The manhattan Times).
getting ready speaking issues for an additional tv interview. He used to be considered one of just a couple of politicians within the kingdom who may perhaps speak knowledgeably approximately economic coverage in vast phrases, and he used to be this kind of one that, unlike so much of his friends, may possibly say whatever fascinating at any second. As maladroit as he frequently used to be with phrases, sometimes he’d locate a few word that expressed the forebodings of hundreds of thousands. in a single interview with one of many cable networks, he apprehensive that the U.S. was once.
Unreachable. I observed Nat within the corridor. “Do you recognize what’s going on?” he requested me. “I by no means be aware of what’s going on.” “The position is crawling with newshounds, and Aaron’s nowhere. Stewart’s nowhere. Something’s certainly no longer right.” “What’s no longer right,” I acknowledged in an try and be reassuring, “is that the governor is a self-absorbed jackass who doesn’t have the decency to inform his leader of employees the place he's even if part the realm is asking.” “Yeah, I heard the London Telegraph called.” “They.
The governor had stored for himself and his spouse and sons—the nice sheet-metal flag, for example, was once now not within the room—as good because the hundreds and hundreds of items he had regifted through the years, the mixed worthy should have been $100,000 or extra. a wide room jam-packed with token mementos, well-meaning yet usually beside the point gestures, and lame makes an attempt at ingratiation: you'll interpret it as a small manifestation of recent democratic politics—full of waste, insincerity, and comedian impropriety.

He did what he acknowledged he used to be going to do, he took his tasks heavily, he behaved himself in public with appeal and decorum, he didn't worry feedback, and he had sensible perspectives of what govt may perhaps and couldn’t accomplish.

After or 3 weeks of operating for him, although, I knew anything used to be flawed. It wasn’t that i assumed he must have been an analogous considerate political.
Trappings of authority: the catered banquets, the detailed vehicle tags, the fawning woman lobbyists. The tags at the first family’s vehicles have been the normal ones, and while the governor went to a catered ceremonial dinner, you’d see him placing boiled shrimp or a number of deviled eggs right into a serviette and stuffing it into his jacket pocket so he wouldn’t need to purchase dinner at the manner domestic. They named roads and interchanges after themselves; one of many major routes from the capital to the coast, for instance, reads.

A.C. Special Projects Provide Media Responsive Lighting Solution for Iconic Digital Advertising Canvas in West London
UK – A.C. Special Projects Ltd. (ACSP) has provided a tailor-made, media responsive, colour-changing solution which introduces a stunning complementary lighting scheme to the rear support structure of Storm Cromination London – the iconic digital canvas in West London and one of Europe’s longest digital advertising billboards.
Consisting of six screens and stretching 72 metres in length, Storm Cromination London is situated at a prime location on Cromwell Road, the main artery running from Heathrow Airport into the capital. Its owner, media giant Clear Channel UK, digitised the original traditional series of billboards in the autumn of 2015 to offer brands unrivalled dynamic, data-driven advertising opportunities at this unmissable site.
In the spring of 2016 Clear Channel UK approached ACSP with a desire to upgrade the site by adding a dynamic lighting scheme that would respond live to the dominant colours of the digital content being broadcast on the vast screens.
Working from Storm Cromination London’s original lighting design – created by consultants, LAPD – the ACSP team implemented the scheme by specifying, supplying, installing, programming and commissioning the solution, and taking care of all related project management aspects.
Applying the highest quality workmanship and technological nous, the ACSP team ensured that the new lighting blended seamlessly into the existing design and created bespoke metal structures to support all the new light fixtures.
To control the system, ACSP installed three amBX Light-Scene engines, which are specifically designed to take intelligent and intuitive lighting to new levels. On Storm Cromination London the system constantly monitors and interprets the digital content being displayed on the main media system, and ensures the lighting colours respond in sync to that content.
For an outdoor structure in such a busy urban setting, reliability was key. Because of this, ACSP elected to use Traxon Technologies luminaires as ACSP senior project manager, Andy Holmes explains: “We used 21 of the Traxon Washer Allegro XB36 RGB (30 deg) because of their excellent build standard and five-year warranty. The luminaires have an astonishing colour range of 16.7 million additive RGB colours and their simple design means we can daisy-chain them together to form long runs. We also made customised barn doors to prevent spill beyond the screen surround for the Washer Allegros used on the front of the platform.”
To graze the supporting structures evenly, ACSP proposed the use of 128 Traxon Liner Allegro XB36 RGB. “The Liner Allegro’s high output, energy efficiency and ultra slim 50x10 deg linear optics feature a suitably narrow beam angle for this purpose,” continues Andy.
Laura Scholes, delivery manager for the Storm portfolio at Clear Channel UK, comments: “Storm is Clear Channel UK’s super-premium digital brand and the recent transformation of our Cromwell Road site into Storm Cromination London looks absolutely incredible. All of the sites in Storm’s portfolio marry the latest technologies with architectural design in order to offer advertisers total ownership of some of the most stunning digital out-of-home sites in the world.”
Scholes continues: “A.C. Special Projects offered a collaborative and design-led approach to our scheme. Full confidence in the recommended light fittings was provided by the team’s extensive product knowledge and experience. The installation was professional and seamless, providing an exceptional, dynamic and unique lighting solution for Storm Cromination London – the ultimate creative canvas.”
ACSP is highly experienced in creating unique lighting and media solutions for high-profile outdoor projects. In April 2015, the company used a string of Traxon Technologies’ Nano Allegro optics to illuminate the main underside and façade of the Ruislip Manor Station Bridge, turning it into a spectacular gateway to the town centre in west London. In addition, earlier this year ACSP provided a state of the art Traxon LED Media Tube solution for the north façade of the prestigious Sea Containers building, prominently located near to London's popular South Bank cultural area overlooking the Thames.

The Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) has disclosed that it collected over K185.6 billion (about $431m) since July 2013, beating its half year target by about 20 percent.
The 2013/14 budget projected a total tax revenues for the fiscal year of K328.1 billion (about $763m).
The December 2013 tax outturn, however, indicates that between July and December 2013, MRA collected K81.5 billion in income tax—pay as you earn (PAYE) and corporate—while K83.4 billion was collected from goods and services—value added tax (VAT) and excise duties—beating its projections in both.
The figures are coming at a time when Malawi’s economy has been hit hard in the last four months following the revelation of massive looting of government resources at the country’s seat of government Capitol Hill.
The looting being connected to the ruling elite is now dubbed ‘cashgate’.
The tax out-turn indicates that MRA struggled to meet its projections under international trade—import duty and prepayments—by collecting K21 billion about K2 billion below its projection. MRA also missed its projection on other taxes.
In its report the tax collector explained that the good performance in the last six months reflects strong growth in PAYE, withholding tax and VAT due to good economic performance and increased capacity utilisation.
In December, revenue collected stood at K29.38 billion, higher than the preceding month and also 15 percent above the month’s target.
In the month, MRA collected K11.79 billion from income and profits while Paye at K8.08 billion, over-performed its projection by 36 percent with corporate tax underperforming its monthly projection by 38 percent.
The tax collector attributed the underperformance in corporate tax to the fact that only a few payments fall due in December because most taxpayers prefer to settle their obligations before the month since it is considered a short month due to the festive season.
MRA has noted that apart from local excise, all taxes on goods and services exceeded their respective targets during the month under review. The outturn shows that K13.71 billion was collected under the line, registering a surplus of 13 percent above the month’s target.
In the month, MRA collected K10.47 billion on VAT, 19 percent above target.
On international trade, the tax collector collected K3.79 billion in import duty, about one percent below its projection for the month.
MRA explained that the decrease emanated from continued importation of non-dutiable agriculture-related items such as fertiliser.
According to the 2013/14 budget, Malawi’s total revenues and grants are expected to amount to K603.4 billion.
Total domestic revenues are projected at K363.1 billion, representing 60 percent of total revenue and grants while K240.3 billion are donor grants, representing 40 percent of total revenue and grants.Follow and Subscribe Nyasa TV :

Zone change could lead to more retail development on Loop 250
Published 1:00 pm, Monday, February 28, 2011
Additional retail development could make its way near Loop 250 in the future after a zone change was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on Monday.
Commissioners unanimously approved a request by Fivestones Ventures, Inc. to change the zone at North Loop 250 and Preston Drive from a planned district for mixed use to a local retail district.
The property that contains a metal building was formerly utilized by First United Methodist Church for activities and is now being converted into office space, said Cameron Walker, planning division manager.
The Midland City Council still will have to affirm the decision.
Eric West, at Parkhill Smith and Cooper, spoke on behalf of the company and said the lot is near the shopping center with Kohl's and Cracker Barrel and it seemed appropriate to make this property match the area.
The about 9.6-acre plot was given its planned district designation in 1982 when the plot was zoned to accommodate a medical facility or apartment complex, city staff said.
The facility already in existence is being converted to an office facility and the zone change will allow other potential builders more flexibility when looking at the empty space on the site, Walker said.
Plus, West added, the change in zone will take away the potential for apartments at this location that existed in the previous zone as well as decreasing the maximum height allowed on the property from 50 feet to just more than 28 feet.
"It's less complicated, less controversial zoning in our estimation," West said.
Walker said aside from the building being converted to office space they don't know what will go on the piece of land. But, he said, staff felt they had enough protections in place through landscaping, lighting and other requirements that nearby homes will be protected from whatever goes in.
"There's a number of protective elements in place to negate the effect on property owners," he said.
The shift falls in line with the city's comprehensive plan that was crafted in 2005, Walker said, as it was decided there to move away from planned districts wherever possible.
Compared with planned districts, Walker said retail zones allow for more flexibility and also shorten the process for developers.
Commissioners approved the request in a 5-0 vote. Commissioner Royce Watkins recused himself from the vote because of interest in the matter being discussed.

A 25 year-old woman with a history of severe PONV, despite multi-modal therapy, is scheduled for an open appendectomy. Which of the following acupressure points is most appropriate for PONV prophylaxis in this patient?
Acupuncture and acupressure have their origins in Chinese medicine, and are based on the theory that there is a life force energy called qi, which flows from the body's primary organs to the superficial body tissues of the skin, muscles, tendons, bones, and joints, through channels called meridians. Acupuncture/pressure points are mainly found at locations along the meridians.
Most scientific studies have failed to demonstrate the efficacy of acupuncture, however, the prophylaxis and treatment of PONV is an exception. Stimulation of the Nei Guan ("inner gate") Pericardium 6 point intraoperatively reduces PONV, and N&V in pregnancy. The location is 3 finger-breaths above the wrist, on the palmar forearm, between the palmaris longus and flexor carpi radialis tendons.
Shaofu Heart 8 is for pruritis and palpitations. Quchi Large Intestine 11 is for fever, headache, hemiplegia, psychosis and many others. Laogong Pericardium 8 is for aphthous ulcers, coma, and halitosis.

Country singer Mindy McCready has died at 37 of an apparent suicide.
Update: In a news release, the Cleburne County Sheriff’s Office in Arkansas said that McCready was found dead Sunday afternoon with what appeared to be a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Deputies were sent to a home around 4 p.m. and found her body on the front porch. An autopsy is pending.
Numerous media outlets reported Sunday that the troubled singer, whose partner died barely a month ago and who has battled substance abuse, had died.
E! Online spoke to an individual close to the singer who said her body was found in Heber Springs, Ark. on Sunday.
The apparent suicide follows by barely a month the death of her partner and the father of her child, David Wilson, a songwriter and producer who died in January at the age of 34. There has been no cause of death given for Wilson, and the death remains under investigation.
McCready had two children, six-year-old Zander and nine-month-old Zayne, the latter her child with Wilson. The children were taken from her after Wilson's death out of fear for their safety.
McCready had been ordered to go to rehabilitation by a judge in recent days, who deemed that "there is cause to find that there is clear and convincing evidence that Respondent is in imminent danger of harm to herself or others, suicidal or gravely disabled."
But just a day later McCready was released to undergo outpatient treatment instead.
On Jan. 19, her last tweet was to someone called @dancinjake: "Things have been hectic. But I'm still here."
Reports on Twittter from NBC reporter Andrea Canning said that McCready's best friend had called and "said that she shot and killed herself this evening." There was no immediate independent confirmation of the information.
An individual also told E! Online that neighbors heard gunshots at her house and called the police. "She shot herself and the dog," said the source.
McCready's hits included ‘‘Guys Do It All the Time," and ‘‘Ten Thousand Angels.’’ Her album by that title sold 2 million copies.

My attention was drawn yesterday to a serious and thoughtful speech by the author Philip Pullman, which I think deserves as much publicity as possible. He was talking about threats in Oxfordshire to local library facilities as a consequence of the recent local government spending cuts. Pullman presents an articulate and impassioned case for the value of libraries.
He also makes some interesting observations about the insidious nature of the all-pervasive bidding culture which has developed within society in recent decades. Anyone who has been involved in putting together a bid for funds will know all too well the time, expertise, resource, determination and focus required on the part of the bidding organisation. The idea that all local communities are equally well-placed to submit bids for their local library provision is laughable.
But it’s the wider implications of where this culture is going that disturbs me and so many others. Access to libraries is just one aspect of broader culture which is simply not always capable of market analysis in traditional business terms. Trying to value it in those terms is not only absurd but potentially disastrous for society: learning is part of our humanity; music and the arts are at the core of what makes us human.
I loved Pullman’s recollections of the libraries of his life. My library experiences began in the gloomy somewhat forbidding interior of the Chester city central library. In the manner of its time, it wasn’t particularly child-friendly, but its stacks of children’s books were a tantalising delight for me, and visits to borrow books were an exciting part of my early childhood. By the time I was seven, we had moved, and my next library haunt was a small carpeted room attached to the local school. It had a complete set of the Colour Fairy books. A few years later, my grim comprehensive school experience was lightened by a wonderful school library where I devoured French editions of Alexandre Dumas. The next stop was the Law Library at Birmingham university; enticing stacks of ancient leather-bound books but sadly not the most gripping of reading material. And in recent years, the magnificent old arts library in Leeds where I had the joyous experience of pulling off the shelves and reading a nineteenth century edition of M.E. Chevreul‘s magnificent work on colour theory (1839). My current favourite library is the Henry Moore Institute library in Leeds. It is a local treasure.
I love books. I adore libraries. No matter how much time I spend online in the day, I can’t go to sleep without turning a page. So I admit to nothing less than complete subjectivity in anything I say on this topic. But I would genuinely like to know: is there really any convincing counter-view on this subject?

The HabiStat Mat Stat Reptile Thermostat is an on/off thermostat that is ideal for controlling the temperature of heat mats and other low powered heaters up to a maximum load of 300 watts.
A remote waterproof sensor probe on a long lead monitors the temperature in your reptile’s enclosure, and sends signals to the heat mat to either increase or decrease the intensity of the heat mats output and this maintains a steady temperature.
When switched on the power indicator will shine and when the heat source is switched on the heat indicator will shine.
Please Note: This thermostat is not suitable for controlling light bulbs or ceramic heat lamps. The constant turning on and off of the light bulb would not only distress your animals but would cause frequent failure of the lamps. This, in turn, is very likely to make your thermostat fail. For light emitting heat sources use a HabiStat Dimming Thermostat.
