THE WIRED ENERGY CONSUMER
The race is on to control every aspect of the house from electric vehicle hookups, solar and storage systems to energy management, which includes smart products such as Internet connected thermostats and appliances. Technology, big data, sensors, massive processing power and mobile apps will help make tomorrow’s homes be more energy efficient. The businesses that control these smart products will be able to tap into a tremendous amount of data about the habits of Americans, presenting a huge, new marketing opportunity. The utilities want to dominant this new business but so do a lot of big home security, cable and Internet companies. Who will be the winners and losers?

This is one of those series that's come out of the hang-about, dead-time of waiting for the car to be fixed.
My car is twelve years old, that's 84 in dog years, and its italian so probably more - I can't get rid of it, I love it too much. It needs specialist fettling to keep it going, which takes me east out of town, beyond the NorthCirc. and the M25, and into the low-hilled liminal landscape between London and Southend.
Anyhows, that's what takes me to the Fortune of War - a landmark roundabout that is no longer a roundabout, named after a large landmark pub-cum-hotel that is also no longer there. Its not what it was. An island town, urban whilst appearing suburban, placed in a wider rural setting. A town that has grown out around a point in an otherwise nondescript piece of road, and then removed the point.
Although there is no longer a Fortune of War, it was replaced. A McDonalds now stands across the road.

Also, big thanks to Rog, Reuben and Silma at PowerItalia. Good work, nice people.

U.S. HEALTH CARE: AT THE CROSSROADS
A whole lot has changed since Mark Bertolini, back in 2010, took the helm at Aetna, the (now) $63 billion health insurer: The Affordable Care Act, barely then a law, has launched and (kind of) death spiraled. Opioids have become an acknowledged public health enemy. Wellness has become a corporate mantra. Big data, AI, and blockchain, once mere Silicon Valley buzzwords, have become ways of business that health care companies cannot ignore. The whole system has consolidated, while a formidable crew of outsiders—Google, Apple, Amazon—appear poised to disrupt everything. Bertolini has been at the center of it all—in an intimate and candid conversation with Fortune Editor-in-Chief Clifton Leaf, he’ll talk about navigating one of the nation’s largest health insurers (and the 43rd-largest public company in America) through these waters, and about his final act—Aetna’s transformational deal with CVS—and what it means about the future of health care in America.

WHY YOUR TEENAGER ISN’T CRAZY…REALLY.
Parents of teens: We may finally have the answer you’ve been looking for. A leading neuroscientist and author of The Teenage Brain explains how brain development is at least partly to blame for your moody and impulsive kids (and their, at times, notoriously subpar decision-making skills). Her research also pulls back the curtain on the effects of multitasking and why addiction—to drugs and technology—is especially dangerous during these critical years.

GUN VIOLENCE AS A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS
American students were once again caught in the crosshairs of a school massacre on Valentine’s Day—just after the country witnessed two of its deadliest mass shootings in a 35-day span. Parkland. Las Vegas. Sunderland. Newtown. The painful reminders that the U.S. is the world capital of gun violence keep piling up. Compounding this continuing sorrow is a bitter feud over how to stop it—a fight over firearms that has further polarized the nation. But some health experts say there’s a way to break through this deadly impasse: What if, instead of isolated acts of madness, we treated the ongoing casualties from guns as an epidemic? Here’s how reframing gun violence as an urgent matter of public health might at last lead us to a cure.

THE NEXT ENDANGERED SPECIES: THE DOCTOR
Lost in the conversation of the digital health revolution is the focus on humans that often drive transformation in healthcare and that’s the medical doctor. We’ve seen doctors increasingly demoralized, depressed, and under pressure to meet mounting administrative loads while maintaining impeccable, patient-rated “healthgrades” online. The epidemic of burnout now affects almost two-thirds of America’s physicians according to a recent Medscape study. They’re frustrated by the payment systems and being pushed out by large health systems that imagine others doing their work and stripping them of authority. They spend less and less time with patients, and there’s giddy talk about how soon robots—already active in surgery and radiology—will do it all. Do we really want to imagine a world without doctors?

PUTTING CHAINS ON THE BLOCKCHAIN
Early blockchain advocates envisioned a technology that operated beyond the control of governments. And in some cases that’s come true: Think of autonomous investment contracts and decentralized currency. Meanwhile, the SEC is flexing its regulatory muscles like never before, creating a tension between innovation and control.

Fortunes, known as omikuji in Japanese, seen tied to tree branches near the Rinnō-ji.
When the prediction is bad, it is a custom to fold up the strip of paper and attach it to a pine tree or a wall of metal wires alongside other bad fortunes in the temple or shrine grounds. A purported reason for this custom is a pun on the word for pine tree and the verb 'to wait', the idea being that the bad luck will wait by the tree rather than attach itself to the bearer.

Fortune, Fri. Monthly/Daily Flickr Lounge. While out for a bike ride we noticed we shredded our rear tire and had to make a temporary repair to make it home. A typical fix is to fold a dollar bill and use it inside the tire as a "boot", we found that Euro bills don't hold up as well. But we made it home and that was our fortune.

Fortune Theatre London. Following the destruction of Wembley's twin tower entrance, the oldest surviving example of concrete construction. It was designed by Ernest Schaufelberg and opened in 1924. The figure above the entrance is Fortune, but is often named as Terpischore. Now owned by the Ambassador Theatre Group, the Fortune had a major external renovation in 2011, removing advertising hoardings from the main window, restoring the original canopy design and extensive maintenance on the textured concrete surfaces. It has been the home of The Woman In Black since 1989 (the show will close in 2023) and is a grade 2 listed building.

Fortune (2006 population: 1,458) is a Canadian town located in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Fortune is situated on the western side of the Burin Peninsula on the island of Newfoundland and was incorporated as a town in 1945. The town is located near the southeastern boundary of Fortune Bay. The name of the town is believed to have originated from the Portuguese word "fortuna" meaning "harbour of good fortune." The main industry in Fortune is the ocean fishery which employes 400 residents. The majority of species landed include Cod, Flounder, and Haddock. Fortune is also the nearest Canadian port for travelling to the French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon. During the spring and summer months, a ferry connects the two islands with Fortune.
