Remember Cambridge Analytica? It was just the tip to the data iceberg. Issues around vast data sets, advanced analytics, revenue potential and ownership are all swirling together and reaching critical mass. But let's take a step back.
Our perennial pseudo-confusion about diet- and pseudo-confusion, it is- is actually fueled by two parallel delusions, running in opposite directions. The first is that every opinion about diet changes the facts about diet; it does not. This delusion operates as if bias, preconceived notion, having the answer before asking the question, or having something to sell - is fully commensurate with expertise and the weight of evidence.
The senior market is growing incredibly fast. Over 10,000 people turn 65 every single day in the United States alone. One of the biggest issues with the aging population is isolation and loneliness. Many consider loneliness a national health national crisis. And interestingly, loneliness isn't just a condition of our elderly population. A recent survey by Cigna revealed that Generation Z (adults ages 18-22) may be the loneliest generation. Further, loneliness and social isolation may be directly related to a decrease in wellness and to an increase in mortality.
Walking into the back hallway, all seemed calm and quiet. The hallway was dimly lit with several closed doors on either side. The dark gray carpet was broken up by shafts of light here and there as the sunlight sneaked in through the windows. The bathroom was immediately to the left and as I turned toward it, I breathed in the scent of burning flesh. Such a familiar scent. A scent I'm used to from performing surgery when I use cautery to stop bleeding. Feeling at home, I walked a little further, drawn to the scent…Suddenly, I stopped in my tracks--this wasn't just anyone having surgery, this was my child!
Most physician entrepreneurs, particularly those still in clinical practice, are more interested in devices, digital health and care channel, process and model improvement or innovation. For the drug industry, that is a problem since there are many exciting opportunities. Given the escalating costs and decrease in new drug research productivity, we need to do a better job of getting physician entrepreneurs engaged in the early stages of drug discovery, development and commercialization.
The sick care world is changing quickly. So is how people work and and how the work gets done during the 4th industrial revolution.
Recently, there has been a good deal of discussion around the notion that digital health isn't a computer, engineering or medical science. Many have agreed and latched on to the idea that digital health is more a social science where technology is only as good as its application to the real world of clinical medicine.

085-0122 Zirkle Mill
Probably dating from the late 18th century, this gristmill on Holmans Creek at the edge of the village of Forestville was erected by Andrew Zirkle, Sr., and originally accommodated the labor-saving machinery promoted by mill theorist Oliver Evans. The mill prospered in the antebellum period under the proprietorship of Jacob Bowers, who founded the adjoining village of Forestville on portions of the original mill property, in 1838. Unlike many of the region's mills the Forestville Mill survived the Civil War intact. The tall wooden building retains a collection of early milling machinery, illustrating the technological changes that transformed Zirkle's burr mill into a roller mill by the turn of the century. Despite conversion to a roller mill, the mill retains its overshot exterior wheel. The mill ceased commercial operation in the 1950s.

Claessens' Goal Leads USF Over Stetson
Courtesy USF
DELAND, Fla. – On the strength of a second-half goal by junior defender Joris Claessens, the University of South Florida men's soccer team earned its second victory of the young season with a 1-0 win at Stetson, Sunday night.
The score came in the 64th minute as midfielder Kevon Neaves placed a perfect lob from the top-left side over a Stetson defender's head and Cleassens was able to one-time it to the middle of the net from the opposite post.
For Neaves, fresh off his two-goal performance Friday night against UCF, his second assist in as many games gives him six points already on the year. The Petit Valley, Trinidad native also posted a team-high three shots on goal in the contest.
Claessens earned his first points of the season, scoring the fifth goal of his career.
Jordan Seabrook came close to scoring his third goal in two games, as his shot in the first-half hit the goalpost and was deflected away.
A physical contest, the Bulls (2-0-0) were able to control the pace of play for the majority of the match, wearing down a very young Hatters squad. Keeper Diego Restrepo was credited with his first career shutout as he stopped all five shots directed his way.
"I felt we played solid defensively tonight," said head coach George Kiefer. "Diego did a great job in the net. He stayed sharp to make a great save in particular, even though he wasn't tested very often in the match."
Stetson, led by former USF head coach Logan Fleck, defeated Flagler College in its season opener Friday night. The loss to the Bulls drops them to 1-1-0 on the year.
USF will return to play next weekend as the team travels to Storrs, Conn., to take part in the UConn/adidas Classic. The Bulls square off against Florida International Fri., Sep. 7 at 4 p.m. and then take on South Carolina the following day, also at 4 p.m. South Carolina is on both the NSCAA and Soccer Times polls as receiving votes.

Delicious salad from our gardens with our red beats, Daikon and of course the beautifully tasting yellow cherry tomatoes. This is crowned with our own dressing, lime, mustard and oil or the soy dressing with rice vinegar, ginger and olive oil.
If you are interested in holding a workshop at Jiwa Damai, send us an email at contact@jiwadamai.net.
As we are now experimenting with Oyster Mushrooms at Jiwa Damai, here is a wonderful recipe of wild rice and mushrooms.
Add more water if needed. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and enjoy!
Toss walnuts in a bowl with water. Sprinkle with brown sugar and salt; toss to coat well. Transfer to the prepared pan. Bake until the sugar is melted and the nuts are barely starting to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Cool in the pan until the sugar hardens, about 6 minutes.
To prepare salad: Meanwhile, combine sour cream, cream cheese, honey and vanilla in a food processor and puree until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a large bowl. Add grapes and gently stir to combine. Transfer to a serving dish. Crumble the candied walnuts on top just before serving.
Mix all the ingredients into a bowl and stir until combined. Heat a saucepan with butter or coconut oil over medium heat. Pour out 1/2 cup of the batter into the pan. Cook for 2-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and then flip.
Combine almonds and dates in the bowl of a large food processor. Process until finely ground, about 60 seconds. Add shredded coconut, sea salt, coconut oil, reserved zest, and chia/lemon juice mixture. Process until the mixture is lumpy and moist, about 60 seconds. Read more below.
We found this receipe here, along many other delicious recipes here.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch-square baking pan with foil and generously coat it with cooking spray.
• To prepare crust: Combine flour, confectioners' sugar, 3 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add oil and butter; using your fingertips, blend into the flour mixture until evenly combined. The mixture will be a little crumbly. Firmly press the dough into the prepared pan. Bake the crust until just barely beginning to brown around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
• To prepare filling: Whisk granulated sugar, cornstarch, baking powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until well combined. Whisk in eggs. Stir in water and lemon juice. Pour the filling over the crust.
• Let cool to room temperature in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 1/2 hours. Gently lift out of the pan all in one piece using the edges of the foil. Cut into 9 squares. Garnish with lemon zest and dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired, just before serving.

Blue Rose Code + Roseanne Reid, The Queens Hall, Edinburgh, 3rd November 2017
November 13, 2017 Paul Kerr Live Reviews 0
When you hear another member of the audience say, "This was like Van Morrison's Caledonia Soul Orchestra," on the way out, and you don't think it's hyperbole, then you've been to a rather special show. Similarities with Morrison abound when one hears and sees Blue Rose Code, the band name for Ross Wilson's endeavours. There's the Celtic soul, the blend of folk, jazz and rock that infuses the music and then there's Wilson's voice. He doesn't sound like Morrison but he has a similar way of rolling with the flow, almost scatting at times while his soft brogue has improved to the extent that he has recently been nominated Scots Singer of the Year in the Scots Trad Music Awards 2017
The Caledonia Soul Orchestra mention was appropriate as Wilson had gathered 13 fellow musicians on stage for this launch party of his latest album, The Water Of Leith. Presiding on acoustic guitar and vocals Wilson was accompanied by bass/double bass, electric guitar, pedal steel, piano and drums along with a string quartet, alto and tenor sax and trumpet. A fine ensemble who reassembled themselves several times over the course of the show allowing the intricacies of the album to shine through as they played it start to finish.
Wilson has collected some well kent followers. Ewan McGregor lent his voice to a song on …And Lo! The Bird Is On The Wing while Ian Rankin has written the sleeve notes to the new album. His latest celebrity fan, veteran Scots music writer, Billy Sloan, introduced the band tonight. Candidly admitting he'd never heard of them until a few weeks ago when he caught them in concert, he was fulsome in his praise for his "new favourite band." Introductions done, Wilson launched into a brief verse of Grateful, his signature song from last year with the strings joining in, before the mellow strains of Over The Fields (For John) commenced the play through of The Water Of Leith.
This deeply moving song set the scene perfectly, Wilson in fine voice, the band gently urging him on with pedal steel and whistle adding texture. Bluebell had a quicker pulse with drums and sax added to the mix and which, along with the following Ebb & Flow, showed that the band could swing with the latter in particular recalling some of Morrison's work. Passing Places has Kathleen MacInnes singing in Gaelic on the album and her absence tonight led to a fine rearrangement of the number with guitarist Lyle Watt playing slide on a resonator guitar with string section adornment, the end result like a Celtic version of a Ry Cooder number. As on the album it slid into the wonderful tones of Sandaig, a song which has grown in substance in live appearances over the past year or so until it stands today as a modern folk classic – the litany of place names, the evocation of nature and the celebration of humanity just astounding.
Colin Steele's muted trumpet added yet another colour to the band's rainbow on Nashville Blue, his playing a lonesome jazz backdrop over the strings and Wilson's aching voice – here his repetition of several of the lines recalled the Morrison of Listen To The Lion. Over The Hill Remains A Heart was preceded by a very funny Danny Thompson tale which gave Wilson the idea for the song, given a powerful rendition tonight, the band and strings joined at the hip with Ross Ainslie's whistle adding a fine folky air. Roseanne Reid took the stage to sing with Wilson on Love Is…, replacing Julie Fowlis who sings on the album version, for what is a fine poppy number given an extra boost by the fine fiddle playing of Seonaid Aitken with the song occupying some of the same territory as The Bluebells' Young At Heart. Next, Iain Sloan's pedal steel slid the band into Polaris, another grand sweep of a song which again allowed the strings and horns a fine opportunity to swell around the basic rhythm of the band.
Introducing The Water, Wilson explained that some people had doubted the wisdom of including a ten minute instrumental on his album; he prevailed. As he sat to the side, Steele, Bassist James Lindsay and John Lowrie on piano transformed the hall into a late night jazz club with the trio sounding like a cross between Miles Davis, John Coltrane and John Martyn (yes, weird but true). This experimentation continued on To The Shore, an impassioned and spirited voyage into a turbulent folk-jazz explosion with sweet string section fed verses leading into violent stabs of piercing trumpet, wailing pedal steel, fiddle skirls and curling guitar. Increasingly animated as the song progressed, Wilson here showed that he is truly grabbing all his antecedents to create a thrilling new sound. Child closed the album run through, prefaced by some personal thoughts from Wilson who is about to become a father. It's another of his wonderful meditations on life, suffused with hope and optimism, burnished with memories of past mistakes.
Had they finished here the audience would surely have been satisfied but the show was then extended for another 40 minutes or so as we were treated to some of the back catalogue. With a small orchestra at his disposal Wilson was able to dip into the past and come up with some fine new arrangements for some of his hallowed songs. Where The Westlin' Winds Do Carry Me came up first, a plaintive lament with the "jazz trio" backing, Wilson scatting and simply superb. Pokesdown Waltz, the ultimate break up song was transformed with Ross Ainsley's whistle and Angus Lyon's accordion added to the usual piano backing while Julie, a song from his first album, was again given a folky makeover with accordion to the fore while the audience were invited to clap along towards the exhilarating end of the song. On a roll Wilson was obviously enjoying himself, taking time to introduce the songs and tell anecdotes including when he met Hugh McDiarmid's grandson before singing his version of McDiarmid's Scotland, again inviting the audience to join in. There was a fine windswept delivery of From Wester Ross To Novia Scotia before the band swung back into their jazzier mode for an excellent Silent Drum with Konrad Wisnieski's saxophone driving the song along creating a sound similar to that achieved by Dudu Pukwana on John and Beverly Martyn's Road To Ruin.
On the home run by now Wilson thanked Seonaid Aitken for her string arrangements for all the songs before singing Edina, his ode to his native city. Thereafter all the band were name checked before Whitechapel swung into view, the audience on their feet by the end as the closing number, Oh North, radically reinvented with Ross Ainslie on border pipes, saw Wilson passionately singing about his homeland and his pride in the Saltire, a rousing close. Two hours had elapsed since Billy Sloan had introduced the band but the audience demanded an encore and all 14 musicians along with Ms. Reid returned for a full ensemble version of Grateful with everyone allowed a short solo.
This was genuinely one of the most thrilling concerts I've attended for a long time. There is a rapport between Wilson and his audience that is heart warming and the large ensemble was a unique opportunity to hear the wide vistas of The Water Of Leith in a live setting. However, having seen Wilson play a variety of shows ranging from solo performances to duos, trios, quartets and upwards, I can ascertain that his delight and gratitude on show tonight is always present.
We must mention the support act, Roseanne Reid. Another musician raised in Leith she is rapidly climbing the ladder in Scotland and is about to record her debut album with Teddy Thompson and Steve Earle. Having seen her on several occasions she is growing in confidence on stage and she has the songs to back this up. Hearing the likes of Amy, Levi and Sweet Annie you can see why Earle rates her. It was nice to hear her tackling a Sister Rosetta Tharpe song, Up Above My Head, sang for her mother who was in the audience. Nice and chunky with her voice getting into a gospel style it was a side of Ms. Reid I hadn't seen before and the audience loved it.
