Interesting thing about this cartoon and what we see when measuring #recoverycapital. Individuals tend to overestimate their circumstances in the early days of the recovery process. There's a lot of reasons for this. But what happens over the next few months is that scores drop and kind of plateau under the baseline for a while -- this is a regression their mean. This is actually their true baseline. It's a fascinating phenomenon to see in the data and to hear anecdotally from our #addictiontreatment partners. #dataanalytics #recoverymonth #recoveryintelligence

Is art an important element in democratic life? Studies show that public art has a host of benefits for communities. Its community-building powers can combat feelings of anxiety and social isolation. When locals participate in creating public art, these effects are amplified. Will you get involved in helping to decide what the next public art installation in St Neots might be?

Baltimore’s historic buildings are being damaged by people’s pee. The City is planning on installing more public restrooms downtown, which is a great—and sorely needed—solution, and one rooted in the past. More than a century ago, cities like Baltimore were busy installing public ”comfort stations” for this very reason. Nearly every US city abandoned these public restrooms, branding them, in turn, as “nuisances.” Although the article mentions that the problem is the acidity of urine, it turns out that most human urine is circumneutral in pH and usually no more acidic than rainwater. Rather than “acid,” the problem is likely to be due to the destructive actions of salts, from the urine, that have a propensity to destroy porous masonry. A big component of urine is urea, an organic salt. Urine also has inorganic chloride, sodium, and potassium ions, as well, which help to form salts. https://lnkd.in/gx8a_DJA

How can I help customize one for your project today?

I suggest this movie is viewed by as many people as possible. Sumner High School, Kansas City, Kansas and Lincoln High School, Kansas City, Missouri are both now academy's with high bars to enter and a culturally diverse student population.....BUT AT WHAT COST? At one-time, both schools were African-American community schools, with African American administrations and the schools produced some of the most successful lawyers, doctors, engineers, scientists, athletes! Although segregated, they produced and were led by black excellence. Now we can't have that! So, what did they do! How do we have the same scenario on both sides of the state line? What Regional Planning Council drives the design and resource access for communities? Is this an algorithm of control of power and wealth through displacement and allocation of resources or withholding resources. Our problems of high poverty, poor healthcare index, and other socio-economic ills contained within communities of high population of minorities are internal, not external. I don't blame the mythical MAN, I blame those within that do the bidding and work of the mythical MAN! https://lnkd.in/gUq7D4HQ
