Sunday Sermonette: A few shorties
We have some mercifully short psalms on the menu for today, so we can plow through a few of them and work toward getting this over with. These mostly seem to have been written in response to the composer ' s personal circumstances or experience, so they may be theologically suspect. Sometimes God seems to misbehave or get moody.Psalm 10 is the longest of today ' s offerings. It seems to have been written in response to someone -- a chieftan, perhaps, a landlord or a plutocrat of some sort -- oppressing poor people. The writer is essentially complaining that God is allowing this to happen. (My advice: Don ' t waste time com...

Chronic collaboration – My Light, My Sky – a song
TL:DR – Latest song from David Bradley out now on BandCamp, original lyrical inspiration from Clive-upon-Sea: My Light, My Sky.
I’ve worked with Simon Oliver (Clive-upon-Sea) on various musical collaborations since April 2012. At that time, we set up what we hoped (in retrospect) would be a Bowie-style Arts Night. It was very successful with a lot of people passing through the doors over the years.
One of the concepts was to pick a discussion topic and write a song or a poem, or create an image for the next session. We wrote a lot of songs in the first few years. Eventually, we played a few gigs, I produced a...

Workflow Automation To Help Deliver Services to Marginalized Populations
The recent turn to a more holistic health care system—such as the interest in dealing with social determinants of health, covered in a recent SDoH series on this site—places a new urgency on connecting patients to services that provide counseling, food, transportation, and other needs that affect their health.
Many people among impoverished and under-represented populations don’t use the services to which they’re entitled. The people might not realize these services exist, or don’t think they need help, or don’t think they deserve it. Many of these people enter the ecosystem of human resource o...

AI and special needs adults: The AI Guardian is in sight
Over the past decade I ' ve written on social media about the concept of an AI Guardian, but I realize I ' ve never put it into a blog post [4]. With the release of the LLM AIs [1] including ChatGP4,ChatGPT plugins, and recentlyGPT Agents (GPTs) the AI Guardian is much closer than I ' d expected.

Challenging misconceptions in nursing education
Regressive legislators in a Southwestern state discovered that doctoral-level nursing students, future nurse practitioners at the state university, were receiving education in human sexuality. As watchdogs of public morality, and with a conviction that these students were being educated to “groom” children to become transgender individuals, they did not pause to verify the information, review

Twenty years ago, the headlines were grim. It was common for studies to warn: “Rising childhood obesity will decrease life expectancy.” In large part, those predictions came true. The rise in obesity – both in children and adults – has correlated to a catastrophic rise in chronic disease that continues to affect life expectancy, cost

American Telemedicine Association Leaps Into Privacy and AI Policies
The computerization of daily life has evolved from a set of technical decisions to a matter of urgent public policy over the past few decades. The American Telemedicine Association (ATA) recently released two sets of principles that highlights its concerns in two prominent computing issues: privacy and AI.
Of course, privacy and AI both make front-page news these days. Concerns over the data protection of individuals dates back to the 1970s. The issue takes on new urgency since evidence has emerged about the manipulation of voters and exploitation of children. AI became the subject of an international summit at Bletchley P...

Will the AMA Support A Move Toward Single Payer Health Care?
By MIKE MAGEE
The Politico headline in 2019 declared dramatically, “The Most Powerful Activist in America is Dying.” This week, 4 1/2 years later, their prophecy came true, as activist Ady Barkan succumbed at age 39 to ALS leaving behind his vibrant wife, English professor, Rachael King, and two small children, Carl,7, and Willow,3.
His journey, as one of the nation’s leading activists for a single-payer health care system began, not coincidentally, began with his diagnosis of A.L.S. in 2016, 4 months after the birth of his first child. His speech at the Democratic National Convention fully exposed his conditio...
