Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with a sevenfold increased lifetime risk of type 2 diabetes. Excessive gestational weight gain and postpartum weight retention are established predictors of long-term obesity. To determine the impact of a postnatal lifestyle intervention program for overweight women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus (PAIGE). Postnatal overweight women with previous GDM participated in a multicenter randomized controlled trial between June 2013 and December 2014. The intervention comprised a 1-hour educational program, a free 3-month referral to a commercial weight management organization (Slimming World), a pedometer, and structured telephone and text support, in addition to usual care. The control group received usual care only. The primary outcome was weight loss at 6 months. Sixty women were randomized (29 intervention; 31 control) in two centers based on their week of attendance. The intervention group demonstrated significant weight loss at 6 months after randomization compared with the control group: mean ±SD, 3.9 ± 7.0 kg vs 0.7 ±3.8 kg (P = 0.02). Blood glucose levels did not significantly differ. With respect to well-being measures, a bodily pain was significantly reduced in the intervention group (P = 0.007). PAIGE resulted in significantly greater weight loss at 6 months compared with usual care. Such weight loss could prove beneficial in terms of better long-term health and subsequent prevention of type 2 diabetes in overweight women with previous GDM. Future interventions must consider recruitment strategies, timing of the intervention, and inclusion of partners and/or other family members.

Selective licensing was brought into force by Part 3 of the Housing Act 2004. The provisions consist of a mechanism to permit councils, after consultation and at their discretion, to introduce licensing schemes that regulate the letting, by private landlords, of residential properties. If properties meet select criteria, councils will grant a private rented property licence to landlords to let their properties in the private sector.

The Norwood case was the first challenge of property rights laws in a state high court since the U.S. Supreme Court last summer allowed cities to seize homes and land for use by a private developer. Norwood wanted to use its power of eminent domain to seize properties holding out against the development in an area it said was deteriorating. In the ruling, state Justice Maureen O'Connor said courts deciding such cases in the future must \"apply heightened scrutiny\" to assure private residents' property rights. \"For the individual property owner, the appropriation is not simply the seizure of a house,\" she wrote. \"It is the taking of a home.\"
