From an article in the Federalist.
Milton Friedman famously noted that if you put the government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in five years there'd be a shortage of sand. Geoengineering would give the government control over the planet's thermostat.
Possibly one of the scariest articles I have read recently. Ideas about Geo-engineering have been floating around for a while now and I had always dismissed them as vaguely ridiculous because they would be insanely dangerous. In my view the law of unintended consequences is not one to test out in our global laboratory when we can't even agree whether the earth is warming or not.
In the past I would have ignored fanciful discussions about deliberately adjusting the global temperature by spraying aerosols into the upper atmosphere. But now…given the way scientific research in climate change has become thoroughly corrupt, I am not so sure.
That's a lot of chances to screw things up royally.
A bit of an understatement if ever there was one. Given what we we would be screwing up is the planet we live on – that ought to make even the most zealous climate alarmist pause for thought.
This scandalous attack on Roger Pielke Jr should be headline news in every media outlet around the world. A blatant attack on scientific enquiry and free speech. Shameful.
H/T to Tallbloke and @ILuvCO2 for bringing this article by Dr. John Brignell to my attention.
Dr Brignell presents far better than I could the reasons for why we know they are lying. This is no vague conspiracy theory. Rather it is a detailed and well written summary of the main issues which ought to be well known to the public but for reasons he explains, generally are not.
Sadly it seems that this website no longer updated.
I highly recommend this video published by the Global Warming Policy Foundation. Dr Christopher Essex gives a fascinating account of the inherent difficulties in modelling climate. It's quite long at just over an hour but a worthwhile investment of time if you want to know why relying on climate models rather than observation is a bad idea.
A solid presentation of the facts as far as I can tell. The only thing I don't understand is why people are so scared about challenging their own pre-conceptions, largely formed through the constant barrage of nonsense from the main stream media.
From the "Chickens coming home to roost department".
Nicola Sturgeon has demanded assurances from the prime minister on the security of Scotland's electricity supplies.
It follows BBC Scotland's disclosure that the huge coal-fired power station at Longannet in Fife is facing a renewed threat to its future.
Scottish Power, which operates the plant, warned last year that the cost of connecting to the grid meant the station may close earlier than planned.
It is understood talks between Scottish Power and National Grid have stalled.
Following a meeting of the Scottish Energy Advisory Board, Scotland's First Minister Ms Sturgeon has written to Prime Minister David Cameron to call for an analysis of electricity capacity margins in Scotland.
She is also seeking reassurance that the UK government understands the "key role" which Scottish capacity plays in ensuring adequate levels of energy security across the UK.
During the short month that's passed since Steven Cooper's Cape Bridgewater wind farm noise study hit the press (see our post here), the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers have been in a state of absolute panic.
Pacific Hydro – the operator of the Cape Bridgewater disaster, which paid for the study, but deliberately limited its terms of reference – has gone into absolute "damage control" (see our post here).
Among the wind industry's shrinking band of media manipulators and Twitter jockeys, Steven Cooper's study has been criticised because it hasn't had the magic wand of "peer review" waved over it.


I've been a manager of a library branch, sorry, a neighborhood library for two months past one year. These have been the biggest challenges for me.
My staff consists of three support personnel (two clerks and one associate librarian) and one youth services librarian. Immediately before this position, I was a youth services librarian. I didn't realize how difficult it would be to supervise that position. Every choice they made, I compared to what I would have done. I held them up to the standards I held myself which wasn't fair if they were a brand new professional. It was the position I am the most familiar with so it is the easiest for me to criticize. It means I could be uniquely poised to be a mentor. In the first few months especially I had to physically step away, recognize that this person was a different person and those different choices were not bad, just different.
I'm a control freak and I'm used to not supervising people. So for me delegating has two hurdles: first remembering that I can delegate, that there are people I can ask to do these things. Second, I need to let go and trust those people to do it well. It's hard, but necessary as work piles up on my desk. I think I'm getting better. I just handed over the volunteer applications to someone else and told her she was now in charge of the volunteer program.
I like to problem solve. I like being asked questions. But there are days when I don't want to be where the buck stops. I rather suspect this is the same reason my mother used to occasionally lock herself in the bathroom when we were little. Fortunately as my competence grows, my feelings of being overwhelmed are getting farther and farther apart. I haven't wanted to lock my office and hide under my desk for at least a week now.
I've always been a master of organization, but I was totally unprepared for the exponential way my email would increase with the jump to management. A few missives got lost in the inbox. I've gotten better about cross filing and creating reminders. I've also erased most traces of a line between my personal life and work life. My work email and calendar now alert on my (personal) iPhone. I can always turn it off if I go on vacation, but I'm a constantly connected personality type and it helps me to keep track and focused with what is happening.
If I underestimated by half the numbers of emails, I underestimated the number of meetings by an order of degree normally only seen when talking about distances between stars. Supervisor meetings, library branch manager meetings, community meetings to represent the library, so on and so forth. There are days I'm out of the library more often than I am in. I never minded meetings when I attended two a month. I mind them more now.


Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan at a women's hockey game between Japan and Sweden at the 2018 Olympics.
SEOUL, South Korea — The American network NBC has apologized after one of its analysts drew anger for a comment during coverage of the Pyeongchang Olympics that seemed to gloss over South Korea's painful history with Japan, its former colonial master.
The remark immediately ignited outrage in South Korea, the Olympic host nation, where resentment of Japan's harsh early 20th-century annexation of the Korean Peninsula continues to simmer. Just last month, Mr. Abe's attendance at the Games was in question after tensions escalated over Japan's refusal to reissue an apology for the Japanese military's role in forcing Korean and other women to work in military brothels during World War II.
Soon after Mr. Ramo's remark, an online petition began to circulate demanding an apology from NBC. By Sunday, more than 8,000 people had signed it.

Navajo Nation President Nez and Coconino County Officials Finalize Five-Year MOU for Transportation Priorities, Partnerships
Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez and Coconino County Board of Supervisors Chair Matt Ryan following the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding in Flagstaff, AZ on Feb. 11, 2022.
FLAGSTAFF, AZ — Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez and Matt Ryan, Coconino County Board of Supervisors Chair, signed a Memorandum of Understanding in Flagstaff, AZ establishing the framework for the Navajo Nation Division of Transportation and Coconino County to collaborate on road maintenance, repairs, and other transportation initiatives that are mutually beneficial. The MOU was signed with members of the 24th Navajo Nation Council and Coconino County Board of Supervisors in attendance.
"This MOU lays the foundation for future partnerships and for the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Law passed by Congress and signed by President Biden," said President Nez. "This partnership is crucial to leverage funding and resources to improve and maintain roadways on the Navajo Nation, within Coconino County. We have to work hard to make this MOU effective in the long-term. I appreciate the Coconino County Board of Supervisors, Navajo Nation Division of Transportation Director Garret Silversmith, the 24th Navajo Nation Council, and all of the road work crews."
There are over 1,700 miles of dirt and paved roadways within Coconino County and the Navajo Nation. The MOU also establishes a work group composed of representatives to carry out the objectives, which includes planning, repairing, and improving existing school bus routes.
"Navajo Division of Transportation appreciates the re-establishment and continuation of this MOU with Coconino County for another five years," said Garret Silversmith, Navajo Nation Division of Transportation Director. "This renewed MOU is the result of a continued partnership and coordination of President Nez, 24th Navajo Nation Council, and the leadership of the county and the Board of Supervisors. The previous MOU produced successful results that included the completion of transportation improvement projects, and the incorporation of safety aspects into each of these ventures."
"Coconino County values its important partnership with the Navajo Nation," said Matt Ryan, Coconino County Board of Supervisors Chair. "On behalf of the Coconino County Board of Supervisors, I want to thank President Nez and the Navajo Nation Council for their continued commitment to partnerships with the county, especially when it comes to maintenance and improvement of our roads. Roads get our children to school, our families together with their elders, and connects to the market and jobs. This MOU will allow Coconino County to continue advancing important transportation projects with the Navajo Nation and promote continued collaboration between our governments. We thank and congratulate President Nez on signing and renewing this important agreement."
"This successful partnership with the Navajo Nation remains a vital priority," said Lena Fowler, Coconino County Board of Supervisors Vice Chair. "I am so thankful for the extension of the MOU with the Navajo Nation for another five years. The signing of this agreement allows the county to continue to improve 286 miles of school bus routes, which are the main roads on Western Navajo."
President Nez joined the county officials in recognizing and honoring the Coconino County Navajo Roads Team that maintains and improves roadways on a daily basis. The team members include Carlos Paddock, Ernest Graymountain, Jeremiah Sangster, Jimmie Honanie, and Juan Williams.

Yesterday, UTC hosted Congresswoman Mia Love and FCC Chairman Ajit Pai for a round table discussion with Utah tech leaders on important issues facing our industry. There was no agenda, no pre-submission of topics, and the Chairman answered rapid fire questions on net neutrality, throttling, antitrust, privacy laws, and many more.
Congresswoman Love and Chairman Pai were clear for the reason for their visit: to build good policy, Congress needs good input from real people working in the fields they are attempting to regulate.
More than net neutrality – Utah needs an ever strengthening infrastructure to ensure that our state and our country can provide jobs and education to anyone who needs them. That issue is one at the heart of UTC's mission to build the strongest, most inclusive, and most connected innovation community in the country.
Where would you like to see the Congresswoman and the Chairman focus? Comment below.

Over the years, we have worked with a number of businesses, helping them to maximise their business potential by playing a key role in the development of a clear business strategy.
In some cases, this has seen us attending monthly board meetings and spending other time within a business, helping the owner and their team to stay on track and, ultimately, achieve their objectives.
We have put in place a Business Development Programme (BDP) which we are able to deliver on behalf of clients, particularly those with ambitious growth plans. We are so confident in the added value provided by our BDP that we have always offered a full "don't pay if you are not satisfied with the outcome" policy for each stage of the process.

We will help you assess the reasons for seeking finance and the potential requirements and will then advise on the possible options you may have to secure the funding your need. We will also be on hand to assist you in putting together any business case to ensure that your request for finance is looked upon favourably.
There was a time when the high street banks would have been the only option for businesses to consider, but there are now many different options, including new entrant banks and crowdfunding platforms, available to the entrepreneur.
It is absolutely crucial that any business stays compliant with HMRC, but it is equally the case that no business wants to pay more tax than is absolutely necessary.
We provide our clients with a comprehensive range of tax services to suit their requirements and the size of their business.

Abbott reported record-high worldwide Diabetes Care revenue of $530 million in 4Q18, up 28% YOY as reported (+32% operational) on a very tough comparison to 33% YOY growth in 4Q17. Sequentially, global sales increased a modest 4% from the previous record of $512 million in 3Q18. Full-year 2018 Diabetes Care sales totaled $1.9 billion, accelerating to a remarkable 37% reported growth (+35% operational) on a tough comparison to 24% growth in 2017.
The international market still leads Diabetes Care (and Libre) sales, accounting for 63% of YOY growth in Q4. Record-high OUS revenue of $395 million in 4Q18 rose 23% YOY as reported (+28% operational) on a very tough comparison (+44% in 4Q17). Record-high US revenue of $135 million increased a stronger 47% YOY (from a much lower base), though on an easier comparison (+6% in 4Q17).
In line with JPM, CEO Mr. Miles White confirmed that FreeStyle Libre 2018 revenue totaled "over $1 billion," more than doubling YOY. There are now "approximately 1.3 million active FreeStyle Libre users" worldwide, an impressive ~30% sequential gain from "over 1 million users" in November's update. The previous patient split was maintained: roughly two-thirds of FreeStyle Libre users are type 1s, implying the remaining one-third (~425,000 users) have type 2 diabetes. The call shared clear commitment to further expanding into type 2 and ensuring that FreeStyle Libre is accessible and affordable to all.
During Q&A, Mr. White commented that FreeStyle Libre 2 "should come to the US shortly," but provided no further detail. He separately noted the FreeStyle Libre 2 European launch began "during the fourth quarter," as expected following EASD. It's unclear whether the Bluetooth-enabled version of Libre with optional hypo/hyperglycemia threshold alarms has launched beyond Germany (confirmed at JPM), or if Mr. White was referring to German availability only.
Abbott reported 4Q18 financial results in a call this morning led by CEO Mr. Miles White, headlined by >$1 billion in 2018 FreeStyle Libre revenue and ~1.3 million active users. Get the press release here, listen to the webcast here, and download the earnings infographic here. See below for our top takeaways and userbase/revenue growth charts below.
Maintaining tremendous growth, CEO Mr. Miles White shared that FreeStyle Libre now has "approximately 1.3 million active users" globally, reflecting ~30% sequential growth from "over 1 million" users in 3Q18. In keeping with previous comments, Mr. White estimated that roughly two-thirds of these users have type 1 diabetes, with the remaining one-third (~425,000 users) living with type 2 diabetes. As Mr. White noted, the ~300,000 FreeStyle Libre sequential user base increase is almost as large as Dexcom's estimated global installed userbase of ~400,000 as of our last estimate at JPM.
While quarterly sales for FreeStyle Libre were not broken out like in 3Q18 (>$330 million), Mr. White confirmed that Libre hauled in "over $1 billion" in annual sales, representing YOY growth of over 100% and in line with JPM expectations. Assuming full-year FreeStyle Libre sales were roughly ~$1.1-1.2 billion, that accounts for ~61% of total Diabetes Care revenue. We estimate roughly ~200,000-300,000 US FreeStyle Libre users and ~1-1.1 million international FreeStyle Libre users. We'll return with more specific estimates on FreeStyle Libre sales for Q4, as our previous model assumptions are not backing out into reasonable numbers at this point.
Although Mr. White did not share 2019 US FreeStyle Libre revenue guidance, he noted that awareness has ramped up, particularly due to continued increase in pharmacy insurance coverage, as well as an "emerging trend" of FreeStyle Libre achieving preferred copay status. Later in Q&A, management clarified that "certain payers were starting to put Libre in a higher tier, tier two, which would result for the end-patient in having a lower copay." Per usual, Mr. White optimistically expects FreeStyle Libre to be "a significant growth driver for years to come" and foresees "a significant quantum of capacity to come online in 2H19." We continue to be impressed with Abbott's mission of ensuring widespread access to FreeStyle Libre, including the type 2 population. As Mr. White put it: "our intent is to serve the entire diabetic community and not niche it. We target both segments, type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. We're doing very well in type 1 diabetes, and as capacity expands, we'll put even more effort into type 2 diabetes." For more quotes from Mr. White on FreeStyle Libre's value proposition and expected expansion, see below.
Abbott's worldwide Diabetes Care sales totaled a record-high $530 million in 4Q18, up 28% YOY as reported and 32% operationally. This performance came on a tough comparison to 33% YOY growth as reported in 4Q17. 4Q18 breaks Abbott's previous four-quarter streak of >30% YOY growth, although if we're counting operational growth, Q4 marks five such quarters. (Plus, the base is getting quite big here!) On a sequential basis, global Diabetes Care sales climbed a solid 4% from the previous record revenue of $512 million in 3Q18.
Will Abbott's US FreeStyle Libre business start to catch up to the OUS business? This marks three straight quarters of faster YOY growth in the US, though there is still a significant $360 million delta between the geographies. The nice growth in US was presumably helped by the November FDA approval of LibreLink for Apple iOS, the app that allows users to scan their Libre sensors with an iPhone to see their glucose readings. On the other hand, will the recent FreeStyle Libre 2 launch in Europe accelerate OUS sales? Abbott still has strong competition in the US and globally with Dexcom's factory-calibrated G6, which is more competitive with Libre relative to G5.
Full-year 2018 worldwide Diabetes Care sales totaled an impressive $1.9 billion, up 37% as reported (+35% operational) and accelerating from already-tough 24% growth in 2017. Assuming FreeStyle Libre came in at ~$1.1-1.2 billion in sales in 2018, that accounts for ~61% of total Diabetes Care revenue, leaving ~$700 million in BGM revenue. Looking at the graph below, it's truly amazing to see how sales have shot up since 2015, increasing by over 70% in just four years.
Record-high Diabetes Care international sales of $395 million rose 23% YOY as reported (+28% operational) on a very tough comparison to 44% YOY growth in 4Q17. Sequentially, sales climbed a more modest 2% from the previous record revenue of $388 million, reflecting seven straight quarters of consecutive sequential growth. The milder increase is probably mostly due to the larger base of sales, and perhaps some impact from Dexcom G6's European launch (14 countries as of Dexcom's 3Q18 call). We suspect that the recent FreeStyle Libre 2 launch in Germany to be followed by a "gradual European rollout" will drive greater competition between Dexcom and Abbott, as FreeStyle Libre 2 offers alarms (to compete with G6), and Dexcom has no required receiver OUS (to compete with FreeStyle Libre).
2018 international Diabetes Care sales totaled a record-high $1.5 billion, up 36% YOY as reported (+34% operational) on a tough comparison to 32% growth in 2017. Full-year OUS revenue has now seen positive growth for three consecutive years, climbing over 80% since 2016.
US Diabetes Care revenue rose 47% YOY to a record-high $135 million in 4Q18. This performance came on an easier comparison to 6% YOY growth in 4Q17 and marked five straight quarters of consecutive YOY growth, including three straight quarters of YOY growth >35% - the US launch of FreeStyle Libre is hitting its stride. On a sequential basis, US sales increased 9% from 3Q18 sales of $124 million, breaking two consecutive quarters of double-digit sequential growth.
In 2018, Abbott reported a record $457 million in US Diabetes Care revenue, up a whopping 38% on a moderate comparison to 2% growth in 2017. With FreeStyle Libre having been available in the US for just a little over a year, this is only the beginning of the US business' rebound.
Mr. White kept it brief on the recent FreeStyle Libre 2 European launch, mentioning only that rollout initiated "during the fourth quarter." At JPM, Abbott CFO Mr. Brian Yoor shared that the Bluetooth-enabled CGM with optional, customizable hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia threshold alarms had officially launched in Germany (in line with October's CE Mark), but at the time the "gradual European rollout" did not sound like it had commenced. Mr. White's commentary left it unclear if a broader European rollout has already begun; we imagine a lot of capacity will need to be built for FreeStyle Libre 2.
FreeStyle Libre 2 was listed #5 in the "Key Product Advancements" section of Abbott's 4Q18 infographic, just ahead of the US 14-day FreeStyle Libre. While we'd be surprised if FreeStyle Libre 2 meaningfully accelerates demand – how many are waiting for alarms to get on Libre? Probably not many…. – it could make FreeStyle Libre more attractive for some patients at high risk of hypoglycemia. Given the recent Dexcom G6 launch in Europe, we'll be very interested to see how adoption between the two devices plays out. For more on FreeStyle Libre 2, see our deep dive from October here.
Although not mentioned on today's call, Abbott announced in November that the FDA approved the FreeStyle LibreLink app for Apple iPhone 7 and later (running iOS 11 and later). The US Apple Store reflects a strong 4.4/5 star rating (189 total ratings), well ahead of 2.8/5 for Dexcom's G6 (428 ratings). The apps are pretty neck-and-neck in terms of downloads, ranking #49 in and #52 in the iOS Medical category, respectively. At the time, Abbott told us that it will make Android apps available "as soon as we can," but did not provide timing. This has been the historical cadence in US CGM – Apple first, Android after – though G6 and Eversense have most recently launched in the US with both out of the gate. FreeStyle LibreLinkUp, the dedicated remote monitoring app, was not included in this approval. Hopefully, we'll see LibreLinkUp in the US soon, as we know that many caregivers in the EU, especially those with young children, have found it to be immensely helpful.
No updates on the FDA submission for pediatric approval down to age 4 (confirmed on the 3Q18 call) were provided today. In the US, FreeStyle Libre is still only approved for 18+ years. In keeping with previous calls, Mr. White vaguely referenced efforts to further develop FreeStyle Libre, noting "the product obviously is getting all the emphasis in development, etc., that anybody would like to see" and "I think you can assume that we're obviously developing every aspect of this product that you can imagine, and that's all going very well." In addition to receiving a US pediatric indication and approval for FreeStyle LibreLinkUp, we suspect these efforts also include development of a FreeStyle "Libre 3" with continuous communication for its pivotal with Bigfoot, now pushed back to 2H19 (see below).
There was no direct mention of Abbott's partnership with Bigfoot to develop a next-gen continuous communication CGM intended for automated insulin delivery with a pump (Loop) and MDI auto-titration with a Bluetooth-enabled pen cap (Inject). However, during Q&A Mr. White did mention that "all the things you would expect us to be doing, including working with other third-party partners who would benefit from this technology are all underway and have been for some time." Earlier this month, we learned that the Loop hybrid closed loop pivotal trial is now expected to start in the second half of 2019, back from the previous goal to start in Q2 (which itself reflected multiple delays). The trials for Inject "will likely start in the second half of this year" too. On the plus side, both Bigfoot systems are still expected to launch in 2020, which remains doable, but is feeling more ambitious with each update. Importantly, the Loop and Inject systems will not use the current FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor: Libre 2 does communicate continuously with the reader to some extent should it need to alert the user of an out-of-range value, but it does not send and display the actual real-time glucose value unless the sensor is manually scanned. Such continuous sending of real-time values would obviously be a requisite specification for Bigfoot's pump system. This means that Libre 2 could be tweaked to send packets of real-time glucose data, or that there could be an entirely novel "Libre 3" soon on the horizon. Given that the Bigfoot pivotal is slated to begin in 2H19, this "Libre 3" is presumably fairly far along in development at this point. Alternatively, the delayed start date could reflect delays in getting it ready (speculation).
There are at least 47 active or recruiting studies on "FreeStyle Libre" or "Flash Glucose Monitoring" on ClinicalTrials.gov. Studies added or updated since October are highlighted in yellow below, as well as a selection of older studies that are just catching our eye. We're excited to see yet another trial added to the roster of studies using FreeStyle Libre as a tool rather than investigating the sensor itself – the trial investigating early glargine (Lantus) in DKA management in children with type 1 diabetes seems particularly compelling.
Q: I wanted to ask about FreeStyle Libre. You had another good quarter of patient add and it seems like you're expanding more into Type 2 with the new disclosure. Could you talk about the trends there, what the Libre 2.0 adds and some of your longer-term vision for Libre?
Mr. White: First of all, it's going extremely well. We did add 300,000 patients last quarter. That's almost equivalent to the entire user base of the number two competitor in the space. We've got over 1.3 million patients now. Two-thirds of those are type 1. Our intent with this device has been to serve the entire diabetic community and not niche it, because we think it has mass market potential worldwide. We target both segments, both type 1 and type 2, and we're doing very well in the type 1 segment actually and as our capacity expands, we'll put even more effort behind the expansion with type 2 patients.
There's a constant cadence of enhancements etc. to the product. We recently launched Libre 2 in Europe, and that should come to the US shortly. We've obviously invested a fair bit in capacity expansion. And at the rate we're adding patients, obviously that's something we started paying attention to couple of years ago, and I'd say, a significant quantum of capacity will come online in the second half of this year. From my perspective, that allows us to open the floodgate much wider. At this point, we're having a tremendous amount of success with Libre without putting much push behind it. And at that point, we're going to have an ability to turn on a lot of push. Then, we've got steady cadence of capacity additions after that. And because of the magnitude or the size of the diabetic market, both for type 1 diabetics and type 2 diabetics, our view was this had to have a value proposition for patients and for the healthcare system that was accessible and affordable by everybody, and not just driven by a rebate system and so forth.
We've got a very low-cost position. We've got a good value access price point, and I think all of that is playing through our markets and our patient groups, and influence groups and so forth very well. The product obviously is getting all the emphasis in development, etc., that anybody would like to see. I think this is a very big, long-term, sustainable growth product for the company. I don't have any other way to say it. This is a half-and-half topic.
Q: As you look forward in segmenting the market, you now have Libre 2 with alarms. You have a partnership with a pump company. Can you talk about how you might bifurcate your strategy to go after different segments, whether you need low-cost offering and a higher feature offering as you expand through the Libre portfolio?
Mr. White: I think you can assume that we're obviously developing every aspect of this product that you can imagine, and that's all going very well. I wouldn't communicate what I would forecast as timelines. I think that the current growth rate speaks for itself. The current submissions and the features of the product that we're adding speak for themselves. We're pretty highly focused on bringing that capacity online not because we're constrained yet, but right now we're adding, as I said, 300,000 patients a quarter and growing. You have to pay attention to keeping that momentum increasing. And at this point, with that many patients and the magnitude of the opportunity, our intent is to make this very much a mass market product. But with 40 million type 1 diabetics out there, mass market means every one of those type 1 diabetics ought to be able to access this product economically, and that's worldwide.
[Editor's Note: This is an overestimate by some degree - assuming 5%-10% of the global diagnosed diabetes population has type 1, that translates to 10-20 million; the top-end is probably even an overestimate, given the significant growth in diagnosed type 2 patients globally.
Of course, there's an enormous type 2 market beyond that. This is not a product that's targeted solely at type 1 or solely at type 2. Its accuracy and performance obviously have meaning and efficacy in all segments. Our cost position is as low as anything in the industry. We have probably number one cost position and the number one volume of patients position. I think we can pretty easily declare ourselves the leader in continuous glucose monitoring and are growing faster than everybody else. I'd just say that all the things that you would expect us to be doing, including working with other third-party partners who would benefit from this technology, are all underway and have been for some time.
Q: So Abbott's guidance for 2019 is 6.5% to 7.5%, basically in line with 2018, and a bit better than the Street was expecting to start the year. So maybe you could give us a little background, what your confidence is at the starting point, and maybe specifically touch on some of the key growth drivers for 2019 that people are focused on, MitraClip; you talked about Libre, and maybe hit on Alinity.
Mr. White: Libre as a story just gets better and better and better. So obviously, that's a pretty big and a high-growth driver, that's a good thing.

OLD ORCHARD BEACH—The Windjammers picked up their first win vs. the Spartans this season at the Ballpark on Sunday afternoon, July 8. The pair of Greater Northeast Collegiate Baseball League (GNCBL) outfits hung tight with each other until the bottom of the fifth, when Jammers Tucker Banger (Orono/University of Maryland) and Kolby Lambert (Bonny Eagle/Franklin Pierce) drove home a trio of runs, leading to a 6-3 final.
The GNCBL's various teams all comprise players from across Maine and elsewhere in New England; one or two even hail from further abroad. The Spartans feature athletes from Brunswick, Westbrook, Cumberland, Portland, Gorham and beyond, while the Jammers boys come from Hollis, Freeport, Gorham, Saco, Wiscasset and more.
Similarly, the players attend colleges scattered (primarily) across the Northeast.
The first inning of Saturday's matchup unfolded scorelessly: The Spartans loaded the bases in the top of the first – Mattingly Simaan (Mahopac, New York/St. Joseph's) and Drew Healey (Rochester, New Hampshire/St. Joe's) both reached scoring position; neither, however, managed to cross home. Likewise, the Jammers stranded Darren Wood (Wiscasset/University of Southern Maine) in their opening at-bats.
In the top of the second, though, the Spartans jumped out front 2-0. Healey blasted a two-RBI shot, bringing Riley Bartell (Portland/University of Maine Farmington) and Dom Esposito (Westbrook/Thomas) home again.
Soon enough, the Jammers reversed their fortunes. Amos Herrin (Wilton/Southern Maine Community College) led things off with a pretty triple to deep left-center, and Kolby Lambert (Bonny Eagle/Franklin Pierce) sac-grounded to bring Herrin home. Brogan Searles-Belanger (Thornton Academy/University of Maine Orono) reached base on a third strike that eluded the grasp of Spartans catcher Jason Komulainen (Gorham/USM) and Wood followed him with a single into shallow center. Both scored – and the score suddenly flipped in their team's favor, 3-2 – when Grant Heffler (Wiscasset/Wheaton) volleyed a single to deep center.
"And then we just had some guys in the middle of our order come up with big hits in timely situations," Dahms added.
The Spartans tied things up in the top of the fourth – Connor McGuire (Ellsworth/Husson) reached second on an error at third, then rounded to home when Healey grounded into center – but the Jammers followed them with a big bottom of the fifth to pull ahead for good. Banger drove in two, including Justin Copetta (Westbrook/Assumption), with a single to left center, and Lambert brought home Banger with a grounder past short.
The Jammers owe the victory to timely hitting, of course, but also to reliable defense. Indeed, the team turned two double-plays in the contest: a 4-6-3 in the fourth and a 6-4-3 to close out the action.
The Jammers are a new squad in the GNCBL; the League launched last summer with four teams (besides the Spartans, there are the Nor'easters, the Norseman and the Patriots), and generated enough interest and success to warrant expanding this year.
The GNCBL holds bouts not just at the Ballpark, but also at Wainwright Sports Complex in South Portland, at Southern Maine Community College in South Portland, at St. Joseph's College in Standish and at the University of Southern Maine in Gorham. The League plays on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays – a full schedule is available online at www.gncbl.net – and can be tracked down on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/gncblBaseball/ and Twitter at @GNCBLBaseball.
Jammers third-baseman Daren Wood (Wiscasset/USM) waits on an incoming throw as Spartan Dom Esposito (Westbrook/Thomas) dives for the bag.
Kolby Lambert (Bonny Eagle/Franklin Pierce) leads off third, hoping for a chance to race home.
Spartan Dom Esposito (Westbrook/Thomas) arrives home in his team's loss to the Windjammers on Sunday.
The Spartans' Dom Esposito (Westbrook/Thomas) takes a turn at the plate.
Jammers second-basemen Justin Copetta (Westbrook/Assumption) whips the ball toward first, hoping to complete a double-play.
The Jammers' Daren Wood (Wiscasset/USM) watches a low pitch sail past.
Spartans second-baseman Drew Healey (Rochester, New Hampshire/St. Joe's) fires a fielded ball toward first for an out against the Windjammers.
Jason Komulainein (Gorham/USM) – the Spartans' catcher through the first half of their loss to the Windjammers – pivots toward a wide pitch.
Windjammer Kolby Lambert (Bonny Eagle/Franklin Pierce) takes a cut at an incoming pitch.
An pitch sails close to Spartan Jason Komulainen (Gorham/USM).
Spartan Mattingly Simaan (Mahopac, New York/St. Joe's) vies in the batter's box.
The Spartans' Sam Cloutier (Greely/Bridgton Academy/Keene St.) fires off a pitch.

Q: not able to autowire bean from spring parent(shared) context I have simple .war with 2 spring contexts.
My web.xml contains:
<context-param>
    <param-name>parentContextKey</param-name>
    <param-value>ejbContext</param-value>
</context-param>

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>
        /WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml
    </param-value>
</context-param>

<listener>
    <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>

beanRefContext.xml:
<bean id="ejbContext" class="org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext">
    <property name="configLocation" value="WEB-INF/eeContext.xml"></property>
</bean>

eeContext.xml
    <bean name="parentSpringBean" class="ru.fns.bean.spring.ParentSpringBean">
        <property name="stringProperty" value="parentSpringBean.stringProperty value"></property>
    </bean>

As it represented above parent context has only one bean definition, according on docs it means that it must be accessible among EJB and children spring contexts. Indeed, ejb bean works just fine with injected parentSpringBean, but autowiring this bean into the bean, that defined in child context - it fails with message:

000002b3 ContextLoader E org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader initWebApplicationContext Context initialization failed
                                   org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'springBean': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private ru.fns.bean.spring.ParentSpringBean ru.fns.bean.spring.SpringBean.parentSpringBean; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No matching bean of type [ru.fns.bean.spring.ParentSpringBean] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency.

applicationContext.xml contains:
<context:annotation-config />
<context:component-scan base-package="ru.fns"/>

springBean code:
@Component()
@Qualifier("springBean")
public class SpringBean {
private static transient final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(SpringBean.class);

@Value("${logs.level}")
private String stringProperty;

@EJB(mappedName = "EEBean")
private EEBean eeBean;

@Autowired
@Qualifier("parentSpringBean")
private ParentSpringBean parentSpringBean; // it fails

Moreover, injecting springBean into parentSpringBean works ok, but how?!
parentSpringBean code sample:
 // there's neither @Component nor @Service annotation
public class ParentSpringBean {
private static transient final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(ParentSpringBean.class);

private String stringProperty;

@EJB(mappedName = "EEBean")
private EEBean eeBean; // ok

@Autowired
private SpringBean springBean; // child context bean, works but why?

I've been testing it on WebSphere for a couple of days and still i can't understand such strange behavior. Does anybody know the reason why this is happening so? Thanks beforehand.

Spanish-speaking Catholics have lived in what is now the United States for twice as long as the nation has existed. Until World War II, however, Latinos constituted a relatively small and frequently overlooked group among US Catholics. Their numbers and their influence have increased dramatically with an influx of newcomers from such diverse locales as Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Argentina along with ongoing Mexican immigration, all swelling the ranks of an established Latino population previously consisting primarily of Mexican-descent Catholics. Latino Catholic communities, once concentrated in New York, the Southwest, and some midwestern cities, now extend from Seattle to Boston and from Miami to Alaska. In the early 21st century Catholics comprise the largest religious denomination in the United States, encompassing nearly a fourth of all US residents, and Latinos constitute more than a third of US Catholics. Moreover, given the relative youthfulness of Latinos, they will continue to represent an increasing percentage of US Catholics over time. But numbers alone do not define the significance of the Latino presence. The mutual influence of Catholicism and Latinos in the United States is shaping not just the future of American Catholic life but also the life of the nation and of course the lives of millions of Latino Catholics. Latinos approach their Catholic faith in a multitude of ways: as primarily a heritage of devotional traditions, as a marker of cultural identity, as a means to struggle for justice, as a source of spiritual growth and comfort, and as an institution with a defined body of doctrines and teachings. Not surprisingly, a considerable number are involved with Catholicism only nominally or not at all. Protestantism, especially in its Pentecostal and evangelical forms, has expanded rapidly though unevenly among Latinos and indeed throughout Latin America. A growing number of Latinos state that they have no religious affiliation. Yet the 60 to 65 percent of the US Latino population that professes to be Catholic continues the long history of Latino Catholicism in the United States and has a strong social and ecclesial impact through such activities as their activism on immigration, workers' rights, and other issues; their pastoral outreach; their culturally conditioned expressions of faith; and their analyses of their people's faith and struggles in publications of history, theology, religious studies, literature, sociology, anthropology, and related disciplines.
Sandoval 2006 is one of a growing number of works on the History of Latino Catholics. It provides the best available short overview of Latino Catholic history. Fernández 2000 presents an overview and assessment of the authors of Foundational Works in US Latino theology. Avalos 2004 is a collection of essays that introduces Latino religion both by particular ethnic groups and by themes. Espinosa and García 2008 focuses on the study of Mexican American religions through the disciplinary lens of religious studies. León 2004 attempts a more synthetic analysis of Mexican American religions, employing what the author calls "religious poetics" as an interpretative tool for understanding those religions more profoundly. Even more broadly, Díaz-Stevens and Stevens-Arroyo 1998, written by two sociologists, presents a comprehensive paradigm for understanding the dynamics and trajectories of contemporary Latino religions and their impact on the wider society. Matovina 2012 examines Latinos within US Catholicism, assessing the multiple ways that the US context, the US Catholic Church, and Latinos mutually transform one another. Pew Hispanic Center and Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life 2007 is a frequently cited national statistical study of the state of Latino religion in the United States.

Comprehensive and bold volume from two eminent sociologists. These authors posit a resurgence within Latino religion beginning in the 1960s, which, in contrast to an assimilationist model, shows how Latino culture and leadership have been reshaping religion and notions of authentic pluralism in the United States.
Espinosa, Gastón, and Mario T. García, eds. Mexican American Religions: Spirituality, Activism, and Culture. Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 2008.

Details the emergence of the field of US Latino theology: its early historical roots, the historical situation of its birth, and the development of explicitly contextual theology in general and of US Latino theology in particular. It also analyzes key figures according to their distinct contributions and their categorization within five models of contextual theology: translation, anthropological, praxis, synthetic, and transcendental.
León, Luis D. La Llorona's Children: Religion, Life, and Death in the U.S.-Mexican Borderlands. Berkeley: University of California Press, 2004.
Comparative study of Latino religion in the US-Mexican borderlands. Author analyzes "religious poetics"—the selective engagement and hybridization of stories, rituals, gestures, bodies, relations, interactions, and sacred figures—in case studies of Guadalupan devotion, the healing tradition of curanderismo, the Mexican-origin religion known as espiritualismo, and Latino evangelical Protestantism.
