										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p>One of the leading addiction cure programs in San Francisco is set to receive a big boost thanks to a recent amendment to the U.S. Infrastructure Bill that allows urban Native American organizations to use the funds for health-related projects.</p>
<p>The directors of Friendship House, an inpatient drug and health treatment center that works with Native Americans in San Francisco and tribes across California, say the funds will be used towards a new six-story building in the Mission District that will serve as a one-stop shop for local health, housing, culture and spiritual practice.  The project, called The Village SF, is in the planning phase and is expected to open in 2025.</p>
<p>&#8220;When COVID emerged, there was an urgent need to develop a broader vision for Friendship House,&#8221; said filmmaker and former Friendship House board member Peter Bratt.  “The irony and tragedy is that Native Americans have no physical place to call home.  The village will provide a physical space for the indigenous people to gather for social services and youth programs, and a cultural space where we can sing, dance and celebrate. &#8220;</p>
<p>According to the US Census, an estimated seven in ten Native Americans, representing approximately 2.8 million people, live in or near cities.  But San Francisco and many other cities lack the resources or attention even to the health needs of indigenous communities, said Bratt, who briefly lived on Alcatraz as a child during the protests against the occupation of Alcatraz.</p>
<p>Community leaders at Friendship House had to fill the void created and left by traditional health and safety channels.  The center offers a 12-level program and other services to help individuals recover, including education and professional maturity, but all work is focused on building local community and cultural connections.</p>
<p>This could look like spiritual guides coming in and performing ceremonies, like a sweat lodge ceremony and discussion group, or wiping away tears.  Plans and ceremonies are individualized based on what a person may have experienced before finding Friendship House.  Many who have gone through the program have been homeless or incarcerated or raised in foster care, Bratt said.</p>
<p>“There is a tremendous need for culturally rooted medical and behavioral health services.  All data across the country, whether in cities or on the reservation, Indians often do not go and get their social services from mainstream portals, &#8220;said Bratt.  &#8220;We get better results and more engagement when the services are culturally oriented.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Urban Indian Health Facilities Provider Act, introduced by Senators Alex Padilla (D-CA) and James Lankford (R-OK), amended the Infrastructure Act, signed by President Joe Biden in November, to allow organizations like Friendship House to do the To spend funds on construction projects to improve the quality of care for urban local patients.</p>
<p>The heads of state and government hope that enlargement will open up opportunities not only to bring more people into need, but also to connect families with basic needs such as housing, health care and culture at an early stage in order to break the cycle of drug use.</p>
<p>“You can&#8217;t isolate a person;  You need to treat them in families and in the community.  This is how people act and interact.  Even sequoias are related, ”said Abby Abinanti, President Emeritus of the Board of Directors of Friendship House.  &#8220;People naturally need to understand why they do something, and when they don&#8217;t, it&#8217;s really hard to change.&#8221;</p>
<p>An essential part of Friendship House&#8217;s approach is to help people understand and process the trauma they have experienced directly and through generations of violence that their ancestors faced.</p>
<p>“Not so long ago we had boarding schools, forced slaves and massacres.  These incidents create trickle down behavior and you need to be aware of this.  Thousands of years ago we didn&#8217;t have this problem, ”said Abinanti, the chief judge of the Yurok tribe and the first Native American woman to be admitted to the California Bar.</p>
<p>Those painful memories are still fresh to many who come through the doors of Friendship House.</p>
<p>Helen Devore Waukazoo, age 13, was taken from her family and forced to go to boarding school.  It was part of a government plan that expelled American Indians from reservations and forced them to integrate into non-American Indian communities.  Waukazoo landed in San Francisco and founded the Friendship House in 1963.</p>
<p>After working in San Francisco for more than 50 years, the organization now claims that 92% of customers who come through the 80-bed facility are clean six months later.  And compared to 41% at admission, nearly 92% of Friendship House graduates have not used alcohol or illegal drugs in the past 30 days.</p>
<p>As San Francisco confronts a swelling drug overdose epidemic, Friendship House executives see an opportunity for its expanded services and the newly formed American Indian Cultural District to share insights with the wider community.</p>
<p>&#8220;The people who have come here also have many of the same problems and their solutions are not right for them,&#8221; Abinanti said.  &#8220;Perhaps we can also become partners and help them, while living up to our responsibility.&#8221;</p>
<p>This can start with more open discussions about shared stories.  Many communities who came to San Francisco for various reasons are grappling with the aftermath of traumatic pasts experienced by many around the world following the protests of George Floyd and, more recently, US Secretary of the Interior Deb.  on display was Haaland, who recently visited Alcatraz Island to recognize the Red Power Movement and the American Civil Rights Movement.</p>
<p>“It was a real head-turner,” said Bratt, who was visiting Haaland.  &#8220;It helped the American Indians see what was happening in Minneapolis, including the Bay Area, and it ignited our imaginations.&#8221;</p>

<p></span></p>
<p>Christmas is often described as the happiest time of the year, but new study suggests that a walk in a park can be just as good for your mood.</p>
<p>Researchers found that the greener the green space, the happier and less self-centered people are.</p>
<p>    The first study of its kind showed that visitors to urban parks use happier words on Twitter and express less negativity than they did before they visited. </p>
<p>The researchers also found that their upbeat mood lasted for up to four hours afterwards &#8211; &#8220;like a glow&#8221;.</p>
<p>The effect is so strong that the increase in happiness from visiting an outpost of urban nature corresponds to the increase in mood at Christmas, by far the happiest day of the year on Twitter.</p>
<p>As more people live in cities and the rate of mood disorders increases, the research team said their findings could have a powerful impact on public health and urban planning.</p>
<p>For three months, a team of scientists from the University of Vermont in the United States examined hundreds of tweets a day posted by people in 160 parks in San Francisco.</p>
<p>People who eat dark chocolate are less prone to depression, a study shows</p>
<p>Aaron Schwartz, a PhD student who led the research, said, “We found that people are happier on all of the tweets in parks.</p>
<p>&#8220;But the effect was stronger in large regional parks with extensive tree cover and vegetation.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said smaller neighborhood parks showed smaller increases in positive sentiment, and mostly paved citizen squares and plazas showed the smallest increase in sentiment.</p>
<p>Mr Schwartz said the study shows that greener areas with more vegetation have the greatest impact, and one of the words that shows the biggest surge in tweets from parks is &#8220;flowers.&#8221;</p>
<p>Co-author Professor Taylor Ricketts said, “In cities, large green spaces are very important to people&#8217;s wellbeing.</p>
<p>“We are seeing increasing evidence that it is central to promoting mental health.</p>
<p>“A big focus in conservation has been on monetary benefits &#8211; such as: How many dollars in flood damage did we avoid by restoring a wetland?</p>
<p>Teens who spend hours in front of the TV are more likely to be depressed, a study warns</p>
<p>“But this study is part of a new wave of research that goes beyond monetary benefits to quantify the direct health benefits of nature.</p>
<p>&#8220;Even more innovative here is our focus on the benefits of mental health &#8211; which so far have really been underestimated and insufficiently researched.&#8221;</p>
<p>The new study relied on a hedonometer &#8211; an instrument that uses a body of approximately 10,000 common words that were assessed by a large pool of volunteers.</p>
<p>They ranked words they thought were the happiest at the top from one to nine, with sad words at the bottom.</p>
<p>As an average of the volunteers&#8217; answers, each word received a score: “happy” itself was rated 8.30, “hahaha” with 7.94 and “parks” with 7.14.</p>
<p>Neutral words &#8211; &#8220;and&#8221; and &#8220;der&#8221; &#8211; were rated 5.22 and 4.98, respectively.  Below &#8220;caught&#8221; 3.08, &#8220;crash&#8221; 2.60 and &#8220;prison&#8221; 1.76.  &#8220;Flowers&#8221; scored 7.56 points.</p>

<p>Brits are afraid to exercise outdoors because of the lack of PUBLIC TOILETS</p>
<p>Using the scores, the team collects more than 50 million tweets from around the world every day before calculating the average happiness score.</p>
<p>For the study, the team looked at tweets from 4,688 users who publicly disclosed their location in San Francisco.</p>
<p>This enabled the team to know which tweets were coming from which parks.</p>
<p>Co-author Jarlath O&#8217;Neil-Dunne said, &#8220;Working with the US Forest Service, we have developed some new techniques for mapping urban vegetation &#8211; with a very detailed resolution, about a thousand times more detailed than existing methods.</p>
<p>&#8220;That really allowed us to get a thorough understanding of how the green and vegetation of these urban areas relates to the mood of the people there.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Schwartz said, “This is the first study that Twitter uses to look at how people&#8217;s moods change before, during, and after they visit different types of parking</p>
<p>&#8220;The greener parks show a bigger boost.&#8221;</p>

<p>Overall, the tweets from the city parks in San Francisco were happier by a dramatic 0.23 points on the hedonometer scale above baseline.</p>
<p>Prof. Ricketts said, &#8220;This rise in sentiment is in line with that of Christmas Day for Twitter overall in the same year.&#8221;</p>
<p>Prof. Chris Danforth, a math professor in Vermont, said, &#8220;Being in nature offers restorative benefits on dimensions that are not available in a store or downloaded on a screen.&#8221;</p>
<p>Prof. Danforth added, “Although we did not address causality in our study, we find that negative language &#8211; such as &#8216;don&#8217;t&#8217;, &#8216;no&#8217;, &#8216;can&#8217;t&#8217;, &#8216;can&#8217;t&#8217; &#8211; has immediately decreased in the period after Visiting urban parks and providing specific language markers for the mood boost available outside. &#8220;</p>
<p>Conversely, he said the study shows that the use of first-person pronouns &#8211; &#8220;I&#8221; and &#8220;I&#8221; &#8211; decreases dramatically in Parks, possibly suggesting &#8220;a shift from the individual to the collective mental framework&#8221;.</p>
<p>The results were published in the journal People and Nature. </p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>Construction and home contractors haven&#8217;t received a standing ovation or coverage of human interest on the news, but labeled &#8220;Essential Business&#8221; have advanced many such franchises in 2020.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Kelsey Stuart, co-founder and CEO of Bloomin &#8216;Blinds, said the status was a silver lining in a very chaotic year.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>&#8220;W.</span><span>We were lucky enough to be seen as essential, ”said Stuart.  “We went through all state and local regulations and in most cases construction or housekeeping services were deemed essential.  We had a few operators in San Francisco hit and a few others had a softer schedule, but most of our operators were with the authority of the essential services out there.  &#8220;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Like almost everyone except grocery stores and pizza, he said March was terrible and April was soft, but business has been buzzing ever since.  Customers called Bloomin &#8216;Blinds, a company that primarily owns, operates and private individuals, either for new window treatments or to fix their broken blinds &#8211; a niche that Stuart says is a major setback for the company during recession or turbulent times.  Across the board, customers simply had plenty of time to sit and look out the windows.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>“Everyone was home, now you have people at home who have time for projects, and now we stare and think we&#8217;re making some progress.  Plus, all of that unspent disposable income, all of your travel budget, vacations and summer camps &#8211; all of the money that is normally spent on summer and vacations is being postponed, ”said Stuart.  &#8220;There was a lot more disposable income that was used for home improvement.&#8221;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><span>At Bloomin &#8216;Blinds, he said sales had increased 60 percent by 2020, and that January was his biggest month ever.  This is part of the beauty of the service category, especially repair, a specialty of the company that sets the brand apart from the rest of the window segment.  When people are faced with uncertainty or economic fears, they switch to &#8220;repair mode&#8221;.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>There was also a lot less shopping. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>“Even at the height of COVID and all the questions that came with it, people felt very comfortable in their home.  When they went out, they felt very uncomfortable.  We set up a virtual consultation process, we set everything up, but we found that consumers are letting people into their homes, but less, ”said Stuart.  When they got the call, they were usually the only command.  “We typically have a 75 percent graduation rate.  In COVID it&#8217;s almost 90 percent because people don&#8217;t shop that much.  &#8220;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Focused on robust technology tools, marketing, the company was the &#8220;non-contractor&#8221; compared to the stereotypical butt crack and stretch t-shirt contractor.  Little things like a laser measuring device that feeds data into a tablet and an appealing virtual lookbook about what new blinds would look like didn&#8217;t hurt either.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>&#8220;It&#8217;s amazing how much people love to see this laser,&#8221; said Stuart.  &#8220;It&#8217;s incredibly efficient for us, but people love it, they want you to measure from the back of the house to the front, from here to there.&#8221;</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Another advantage of being an essential company: Interest in starting a franchise market is growing, as has been seen in recent economic downturns.  Bloomin &#8216;Blinds, a franchise network of 58 owners and 68 territories, has just signed three more home-based franchisees for the low-investment business.  The upfront cost is between $ 38,495 and $ 117,425, including a franchise fee of $ 25,000 to $ 48,500.  The average gross sales to franchisees in an area in 2019 was $ 227,974.</span></p>

<p>As the role of the data scientist expands, so does the “Data Lab” product category, with which data science is to be merged with the company installations required for data-driven decisions.</p>
<p>Add a new Data Labs platform from the technology management consultant Kin + Carta to the list, which is intended to meet the more stringent corporate requirements for more &#8220;data flow&#8221; and accompanying analyzes on recently installed digital platforms.</p>
<p>Kin + Carta publishes a Data Labs platform that is billed as a management hub and can be embedded in consulting and engineering services.  In contrast to current Snapshot data science and engineering services, the Chicago-based technology consultant advertises its data laboratory as a provider of integrated real-time data analysis.</p>
<p>The Data Labs platform consists of three pillars: data product strategy and activation;  Data management;  and data product delivery.</p>
<p>The data lab rollout follows the acquisition of Cascade Labs by Kin + Carta in December 2020. Cascade Labs, based in Portland, Oregon, specializes in data science services, including integration, engineering, and data visualization.</p>
<p>Challenges that data lab providers are facing include creating closer working relationships among data scientists who focus on abstractions and engineering of data pipelines and other platforms designed to aid decision makers.  Therefore, the data consultant is pushing for &#8220;data as a product&#8221;, not only for another software service, but also for a way to &#8220;activate&#8221; [data] fluently.  &#8220;</p>
<p>One of the goals is to enable consumers of data to express their results in a kind of lingua franca that can help make business decisions.</p>
<p>Kin + Carta also announced the hiring of Cameron Turner as Vice President of Data Science late last year.  Turner is a co-founder of The Data Guild, the San Francisco-based venture studio that specializes in commercializing data science platforms.</p>
<p>&#8220;Just as agile software development has changed the way companies deliver digital experiences, the way we think about data as a product is changing the way we all think about data,&#8221; said Turner.  Ultimately, greater data fluidity between companies would improve data access and analytics, he added.</p>
