About Main Sequence Ventures

CSIRO Financial Services Pty Ltd trading as Main Sequence Ventures is manager of the CSIRO Innovation Fund (CSIRO Innovation Fund 1, LP “the Fund“), which is intended to help improve the translation of Australian publicly-funded research into commercial outcomes and stimulate innovation in Australia. The Fund was established as part of the Australian Government’s National Innovation and Science Agenda.

How do I tell you my idea?

We love to hear from deep tech founders. Contact us to start the conversation.

How is the Fund managed?

The Fund has appointed CSIRO Financial Services Pty Ltd (trading as Main Sequence Ventures) as its fund manager.  The Fund is a separate legal entity to CSIRO and Main Sequence Ventures.  Main Sequence Ventures and the Fund have their own governance and decision-making structures, including an investment committee that includes external members.

The Fund has been unconditionally registered by Innovation and Science Australia as an early stage venture capital limited partnership and is subject to the regulatory processes that oversight early stage venture capital funds.

How is it funded?

Currently, the Fund’s founding limited partner, CSIRO Fund of Funds LP, has raised $50 million (comprising $30 million from CSIRO and $20 million from the Australian Government via CSIRO).  The Australian Government has announced its intention to provide a further $50 million over the life of the Fund via CSIRO, raising the Fund’s expected committed capital to $100 million.  The Fund will seek to raise a further $100 million from qualified investors in the private sector.

What private sector investment will contribute to Main Sequence Ventures?

Investment in the Fund will only be open to ‘wholesale clients’ as defined in the Corporations Act, not to retail clients or ‘mum and dad’ investors.

CSIRO Financial Services Pty Ltd holds an Australian financial services licence (AFS licence number 494 111).

Who can apply to the Fund?

We are open to investment proposals from CSIRO, Australian universities, Australian publicly funded research agencies, and SMEs who partner with one of these eligible organisations.

What does ‘publicly funded research agencies’ mean?

In recognition of November being National Diabetes Month, the Oklahoma State Department of Health is supporting efforts to bring awareness to the impact of diabetes on Oklahoma and its economy.

Oklahoma ranks eighth in the nation for percent of adults diagnosed with diabetes. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate more than one million Oklahomans have prediabetes, and two out of three are unaware they are at risk. Without proper intervention, it is estimated that 15-30 percent of them will develop Type 2 diabetes within five years, leaving them to pay more than double their current health care costs.

“Historically, the prevalence of diabetes has been higher in Oklahoma than in the United States as a whole,” said OSDH Diabetes Program Coordinator Rita Reeves. “The most current information from the CDC indicates the prevalence of Type 2 and Type 1 are increasing among young people.”

Average medical expenses for people diagnosed with diabetes are about $13,700 per year. Patients have a higher rate of being out of the workplace and receiving disability. Nearly 95 percent of cases are Type 2, which can be prevented or delayed through a lifestyle intervention with the CDC’s National Diabetes Prevention Program. There are 21 programs in Oklahoma that offer guidance from a lifestyle coach to help set goals and adjust factors such as eating healthier, reducing stress and getting more physical activity.

Screening is the first step in preventing and managing diabetes. An online risk test to determine a person’s chance of having prediabetes is available here.

Those who have already been diagnosed with diabetes are encouraged to talk with their health care provider, and ask for a referral to an accredited self-management program, which can be found here.

Kurseong: The Place Where Tea Experiments Make The Rules

The wispy trails rising from my cup carry the aroma of muscatel that is distinctive of Darjeeling tea. I sip the amber liquid. The tea has a smoky flavour punctuated by a second aroma: a fresh, woodsy smell coming from a thin strip of green at the bottom of the cup. On cue, a lanky young man strides towards me from a counter in the dining room. “It is lemongrass,” he explains. “The delicate essence always complements the strong notes of a pure Darjeeling second flush.”

I am at Cochrane Place, a 19th-century bungalow in Kurseong, in North Bengal, 30 kilometres south of its more glamorous neighbour, Darjeeling. The heritage stay is a charming mishmash of cosy wooden cabins, expensive art, and tea-themed whatnots. Laltu Purkait, the ponytailed man now animatedly explaining the nuances of Darjeeling tea to me, is the resident tea blender. From his tea salon behind the patio, he concocts exotic fusions—the pale golden first flush or the tawny second flush brewed to perfection from the finest leaves from local tea gardens, blended with an assortment of spices and fruits. Two of his special brews won him the Times Now Best Foodie Award in 2011.

For me, visiting Kurseong—a 19th-century colonial hill station known for its tea and orchids—is a bit of a home coming as I cherish fond memories of the summer holidays I spent in my uncle’s house here. The pleasant walks through pine groves on St Mary’s Hill above the town, and the toy train rides past quaint homes and churches have remained much the same. And my early introduction to the world of “champagne” teas grown in the gardens of Makaibari, Castleton, and Ambootia, the region’s three most famous estates, has bloomed into a lifelong addiction.

Perched on a ridge, Cochrane Place seems to be stuck in time. Once the home of Sir Percy John Cochrane, a Raj-era magistrate, Cochrane Place has changed hands a few times since those days, including being owned by the royal family of Burdwan. Dhiraj Arora, a Kolkata businessman and current owner, has restored it to its former stone, log, and cast-iron splendour. In the evening, guests flock to Laltu’s salon. When I’m there, he’s serving up four tea fusion shots, in between rounds of masala chai for a group of visitors, and chocolate tea for the kids. A plate of cookies is kept as a palate cleanser. The first one is Laltu’s favourite—apple cinnamon tea. It’s expectedly fruity with two ultra-thin slices of apple floating on top. But the tell-tale flavour of a high quality second flush is unmistakable.

The second shot is a delicious blend of Darjeeling autumn brewed with crushed orange peel. The third cocktail, an Irish Tea redolent with the taste of fresh caramel disappoints me, because it overwhelms the subtle first flush used to make it. The fourth shot wins with its mature textures of second flush tea interwoven with intense notes of chopped betel leaf. The tastes of clove, cardamom, and fennel seeds linger on my palate long after the last swallow. I have always considered myself a puritan when it comes to tea. But the quirky blends made me consider this innovative way to contemporize the drink. “We have taken things a little forward here,” says Laltu, “keeping in mind a beautiful fact about tea: it absorbs the flavour of almost anything.”

Early next morning I set off towards the sprawling, mist-drenched terraces of Makaibari, the world’s first tea factory established in 1859- Since its inception until very recently, the gardens were owned by the Banerjee family. Rajah Banerjee, the present chairman, continues his family’s legacy with the biodynamic practices that he has introduced in order to grow top-quality organic tea. It is spring, and harvest season on the manicured emerald slopes. Women sporting headscarves or broad-brimmed hats roam the hillside, plucking two leaves and a bud, tossing them into the wicker baskets on their backs. I take a quick tour of the Makaibari factory where tea is withered, rolled, dried, sorted, and packaged. My guide Ravi Gurung, whose family has worked in the tea gardens for four generations, invites me to his home for a cuppa.

Ravi’s modest wooden hut has a battered bench under a flowering rhododendron tree. I sit there, looking across the valley to the grey outline of the hills, capped by the jumble of Kurseong’s buildings. Ravi hands me a porcelain cup. As I take my first sip, a sharp, tangy flavour invades my taste buds, but the pungent bitterness is soon overridden by the delicate floral strains of first flush tea. “This is a blend of passion fruit with the season’s first harvest,” Ravi answers my questioning glance. I am incredulous about how he has retained the flavour of the leaf, given the strong sweet-sour flavour of passion fruit. Clearly the chemistry of tea is complicated, and those who have mastered it, are able to create strange and interesting combinations.

Slow Time to a Crawl with Anti-aging Cream

First things first, aging isn't really the problem here. No anti-aging cream can stop or reverse aging (time travel!). The real issue is premature aging. Premature aging occurs when the cells in your body lose their capacity to reproduce effectively at a higher rate than normal. Anti-aging creams can arrest rapid degradation and restore the aging process to its natural state. Many factors accelerate aging. Let's examine the important ones.

The most common reason for early appearance of signs of aging is exposure to sunlight. The sun's rays carry ultraviolet radiation. If you don't protect your skin from UV radiation, the sun's rays will damage collagen fibers. As a result, the protein structures that support your skin become weak. On the surface, this manifests as fine lines and wrinkles.

Another significant cause of premature aging is free radical damage. Free radicals, a common by-product of biochemical reactions, are highly reactive oxygen molecules. These molecules attack nearby cellular structures. In other words, free radicals eat your body from the inside out. If left unchecked, the free radicals will accelerate the aging process.

An anti-aging cream protects your skin from both tormentors. Creams with adequate SPF, more than 30, stops the ultraviolet rays from reaching your skin by absorbing them or reflecting the. Such an anti-aging cream will also have antioxidants that react with free radicals, rendering them harmless. In addition to sun protection and free radical resistance, your skin requires adequate moisture to function properly. So, the anti-aging cream must also double as a moisturizer.

To compound the benefits of an anti-aging cream, introduce positive lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking, eating a balanced a nutritious diet, exercising regularly, and resting adequately. When you integrate the use of anti-aging cream with a healthy lifestyle, you can take years off your skin.

The Power of Gray

Gray has become a staple in interior design. The neutral hue pairs well with other basic tones like black and white, but can also play as a soothing backdrop to brighter pops of color. The blog Made By Girl, recently posted about the prevalence of gray in design, and we think some of our products would fit right in with this soothing design trend. (http://madebygirl.blogspot.com/2012/11/design-grays-in-decor.html)

My Chic Nest's Sheila Headboard

The Sheila is sophisticated and feminine, without any unnecessary frills. Its elegant lines are timelessly chic.
My Chic Nest's Kate Headboard

The Kate includes tufting detail and chic scalloped border, which makes for a classic and timeless design.

My Chic Nest's Brett Headboard

If Don Draper had a bed in his office, this would surely be his headboard! We took a page from the sleek minimalism of midcentury modern design with this headboard, highlighting the clean lines and sophisticated simplicity of the era.

My Chic Nest's Jared Chair

The stately silhouette of the Jared gives this piece a weighty comfort and sophistication. Sitting low to the ground with wide cushion, the Jared commands any room.

My Chic Nest's Jaime Chair

The Jaime is as versatile as it is handsome. The sharp geometric lines of the stainless steel arms and legs are perfectly juxtaposed with soft upholstery and cozy cushions.

Finding Your First Commercial Property

By: Elite Legacy Education, June 1, 2017

Are you wondering how to go about finding your first commercial real estate investment? There are lots of options out there, but you definitely should not be throwing your money into just any property. If you’re not sure where to begin, that is perfectly fine. We’ve compiled some tips in this article so you can get started on finding your first commercial property.

Who you should be buying from.

Motivated sellers. You want to find sellers who have a strong desire to sell their property – the faster the better too. If you are dealing with a seller who doesn’t have a strong urge to sell, then you’ll have less bargaining power. Essentially, they won’t be as motivated to negotiate with you and release the property from their control. Now that doesn’t sound like something we want as an investor, right? Making a profitable investment starts with getting a good deal, so make sure you find sellers who may be more willing to provide one.

How to find motivated sellers.

There are many approaches you can take to finding these sellers. The best way is to get out there and meet them. But how can you identify sellers? We recommend the following activities to help you get started.

  1. Browse online. As with anything, most research processes start on the Internet. There are tons of commercial property listings online, you just need to go and find them.
  2. Search the classified ads. Finding yourself a newspaper and flipping to the ads section is always a good idea. You never know what you’re going to find. It’d be a shame to miss out on a promising opportunity by ruling out the traditional newspaper.
  3. Find a bird dog for your team. No, we don’t mean go and buy a dog that will retrieve birds for you when hunting. Instead, this is an expert in the real estate market who will help you to locate motivated sellers and potential investment opportunities. Generally, they will charge a fee when they find you a deal that you close. It is definitely worth the fee as these people will know the ins and outs of particular neighborhoods, as well as understand what to look for in a property.

Be ready with an action plan.

Not having a clear plan of action is almost always a recipe for disaster. This is definitely not something you want to do with so much money on the line. Here’s how you can prepare yourself.

  • Know your budget. You should always have a range that you are expecting to spend within. This will help to ensure that you can afford the financing, as well as meet interest payments and other expenses as they come due.
  • Have clear profit goals. Surely you want to make a return, but how much? This is important as it will help you to assess whether a particular deal meets your needs.
  • Be ready with an exit strategy. It’s good to know how you will invest your money, but it’s also important to think about how you will capitalize on your investment.
  • Understand the logistics. You should have an understanding of how you will actually meet your goals. For example, how many units will you be renting in total and for how much? What is the minimum number of units you must rent to meet your investment objectives? Are there any tenants already locked in?

And of course, you need to know what the property is worth. One technique you can get familiar with is called neighborhood farming. This will help you to determine a property’s relative value based on its surrounding neighborhood. It means getting a better idea about the value per square footage of a building. You’ll need to get out to view properties and talk to other commercial property owners in the area.

Today's market is filled with many opportunities for the savvy investor. Our Rich Dad Education trainers will introduce you to proven strategies that can help you launch your career as a successful real estate investor and develop a "Rich Dad Mindset."

Don’t miss out on all of the ways Rich Dad Education can help you reach your goals in life!

The company thrived under his leadership offering ancillary services of sales, leasing, development, and property management.

1958 saw his son, John (Jack) Myers, join the company. In the following years, the company continued to meet the needs of the growing Greater Columbus Area. In the downturn of 1969–1971, Myers Real Estate was appointed to oversee the appraisal, maintenance and repair for disposition of all HUD/FHA owned properties in the southern half of Franklin County. Jack’s continuing involvement in the real estate industry was later acknowledged in 1991 when he became president of the Columbus Board of Realtors.

In 1964, Robert (Bob) Myers joined the company and to later oversee the Property Management Division of the company.  1977 saw the company’s entry into association management with the conversion of the 62 unit Arlingtowne Apartments project into residential condominiums. Accomplished in less than 9 months from start to finish, the company saw the project through from the physical conversion to condo sales and providing the association’s management upon completion. As Bob’s property management expertise grew, he became the 1984 President of the Columbus Chapter of the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM). Currently, the company provides the management for 16 different associations in addition to its multi-tenant apartment and commercial projects.

John Myers Jr. joined the company in 1981 to further expand real estate services. In 1984, the company became one of the 1streal estate companies in central Ohio to computerize its brokerage and property management departments.

Ironwood Towns by Podium Developments now open in North Oshawa

Latest News

Ironwood Towns by Podium Developments now open in North Oshawa

By Wayne Karl

Podium Developments and Building Capital have opened Ironwood Towns, a new community located just north of Simcoe Street North and Taunton Road in North Oshawa.

This private 11-acre property nestled between Camp Samac and Oshawa Creek, backs onto hundreds of acres of valley land, forest and stream, and is minutes to Cedar Valley Conservation Area, Centennial Park and Somerset Park. Ironwood is also conveniently close to public transportation options, shopping, dining and entertainment venues. The lifestyle offered in this community is one of nature and ease. It’s a seven-minute drive to Hwy. 407 and 14 minutes to Hwy. 401. Residents can also walk to the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in 10 minutes.

Situated on a private street, the 125 three- and four-bedroom contemporary freehold towns feature a private garage and driveway with two-car parking, and either a backyard or rooftop terrace. Architecture introduces a clean, modern addition to the neighbourhood.

With this first phase, 40 units are being released across three different models. Phase two is targeted for spring 2019 or earlier, if sales go well.

Well-planned, beautifully appointed, open-concept interiors receive generous natural light from large windows scattered over three full floors of living space. Residents will enjoy exclusive access to a private landscaped three-acre park, gated off-leash dog park, children’s playground, walking path, tobogganing hill and a sports field with a seasonal ice rink, all backing onto the protected acres of ravine lands. There’s even an area residents can share garden space with other members of the community, growing their own fresh vegetables.

Units measure from about 1,700 to 1,800 sq. ft., with prices from the mid-$500,000s. All units have a garage and a driveway space for parking, with either arooftop terrace or private backyard, depending on the model. Backyards come with deck and fencing, small area for private garden and a direct walkoff from the main living floor. A maintenance fee of approximately $150 per month covers everyday upkeep such as landscaping and snow removal.

Ironwood Towns represents something of a transitionary project forPodium and Building Capital, since they have mostly collaborated on student housing to date. The partners recently opened University Studios in Oshawa – an eight-storey, mixed-use student housing project.

“The main concept (at Ironwood) is a combination of urban and suburban living,” says Christian Huggett, vice-president of development for Podium. “We’ve kind of brought condo finishes to suburban ideas… and tried to step it up from ‘builder basic’ finishings.”

The Ironwood Towns Presentation Centre is now open for preview registrations, at 1700 Simcoe St. N., Unit B. Hours are Monday to Wednesday noon to 6 p.m.; Thursday 2 to 8 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Traverse City Doctor Tells Us How to Walk Off the Weight

Sponsor Generated Content What's this?

This content was paid for by an advertiser and created by the MyNorthMedia custom editorial department.

Can you walk off the weight?

Yes, you can lose weight by walking, according to Traverse City doctor Patrick Friedli MD, but you have to regularly walk for at least 30 minutes straight.

Exercise depends on three factors: Frequency, Intensity and Time (FIT). In a perfect world, Friedli says, people should exercise for at least 30 to 60 minutes, five to seven days a week. “Walking benefits all of us by getting us upright and challenging our hearts to beat a little more and get the joints moving,” Friedli says. “Every little bit can count, but in reality, it needs to be a dedicated, sustained pattern.”

The National Weight Control Registry (NWCR) is a resource for people with long-term weight loss goals. The NWCR is studying over 10,000 people who have lost significant amounts of weight and kept it off for long periods of time. They’ve found that over 76 percent of the participants who have lost at least 30 pounds and kept it off for over a year just walked more than before, but they walked for periods of 60 to 90 minutes several times a week.

For those who don’t currently exercise, just walking more makes a difference. But for more serious efforts at weight loss, casual walking may not be enough, Friedli says. “The intensity is where most people have problems,” he explains. To make a walk more challenging, add a few hills into your route or do stairs at a stadium or park. Interval training—alternating between different rates of speed—also helps burn fat. Alternate walking and jogging, sprinting or even just walking at an increased pace.

Friedli also recommends reading the book The Diet Detective’s Count Down by Charles Stuart Platkin. It lists 7,500 foods and how long you have to walk to work off that particular food. For example, to work off just one homemade chocolate chip cookie you have to walk for 20 minutes at 3 mph. “That may or may not be worth it, as most of us just don’t stop at one,” Friedli says.

Counting steps can also be extremely helpful for someone on a weight loss journey. Most guidelines suggest 10,000 steps a day (about 5 miles), and there are several pedometers and smartphone apps available to record physical motion.

3 Free Pedometer Apps for Android & iPhone

  1. Pacer: The main screen shows your step count for the day, active time and estimated calories burned. The app also has three fitness plans like Couch to 10K Steps and has the option to sync to MyFitnessPal.
  2. Moves: The app is formatted as a scrollable timeline that charts your movements, including steps and location, throughout the day. You can name unknown locations (home, work, gym) and Moves will remember them for next time.
  3. Accupedo Pedometer: The app displays your step count on your phone screen giving you a constant look at the steps you’ve taken. You can also see distance, minutes and calories.

More Northern Michigan Exercise Ideas

Shape Up North is a community collaboration dedicated to helping northern Michigan residents benefit from healthy eating habits and an active lifestyle. Living a healthier lifestyle can and should be an enjoyable adventure. Small changes in habits at school, work, and home can have long-lasting, positive effects on your health. With an abundance of great local foods and a four-season playground right outside your door, you and your family can lead a healthy, fit, and fun life.

Feel Your Dental Anxiety Disappear

  • November 8, 2017

Feel Your Dental Anxiety Disappear

Does the thought of going to the dentist’s office make your palms sweaty? When you do get around to making that appointment, do you lie in bed the night before your visit, unable to sleep? If that describes you, you are far from alone. Dental anxiety is rampant in our society — up to 20% of Americans fear the dentist so much, they actually avoid going.

Dental anxiety may be rooted in a fear of pain, drilling, or needles; in embarrassment at the state of the one’s teeth; in a sense of helplessness or lack of control; or in a negative experience in the person’s past.

But the best thing someone with dental anxiety can do is to visit the dentist regularly, every six months. Because good preventive care is key to staving off tooth decay and gum disease. When you don’t go as often as you should, you risk running into problems, which make for more invasive treatments when you do finally get to the dreaded dentist’s office.

The good news is that dentistry has progressed a lot over the past few decades. Procedures are digitized, less invasive, faster, and far more comfortable.

At Synergy Dental Center, we adopt technology that enables us to provide better clinical care and that offers you, the patient, a more pleasant experience. We strive to make every aspect of our practice geared toward maximum patient comfort — from our friendly, compassionate staff to our beautiful office to our menu of amenities. It’s just what you need to put your dental anxiety in the past.

If you live in the Gillette, WY area, call Synergy Dental Center at 307-622-1311 to book an appointment.

The Office

Synergy Dental Center’s state-of-the-art office, located in beautiful Gillette, WY, is decorated in serene, calming colors. We have a comfortable waiting room with video games for the kids (and kids at heart!). When it’s your turn to see the doctor or hygienist, you will be settled into one of our two spacious private operatories.

The Synergy Dental Center Team

The staff at Synergy Dental Center is exceptional. Each team member is professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. Plus, we know how to treat people. We are friendly, warm, and welcoming to all patients. And we are especially skilled at making people with dental anxiety feel at ease.

And bring on the kids! We will have so much fun with them, they may forget they are at the dentist’s office. This not only gets them through their visit without fear, but helps them develop a positive impression of the dentist that will hopefully last for the rest of their lives.

A Comfort Menu of Amenities

At Synergy Dental Center, we try to avoid the cold, clinical feeling of the typical medical office. In fact, you may wonder if you are at the dentist or at a spa! Our comfortable private operatories boast heated massage chairs to release the tension from your muscles. We provide head and neck massages and warm water rinses to relax and soothe your mind and body. Plus we offer televisions and music for your entertainment (and distraction, of course).

Dental Technology Benefits Patients

The field of dentistry has been revolutionized by technological advances. Procedures that, in the past, were uncomfortable or even painful (and were responsible for who knows how many cases of dental anxiety) have been rendered practically pain-free. Computers have made diagnosis and treatments faster, easier, and less invasive. At Synergy Dental Center, we are always on the lookout for new equipment and techniques to offer our patients improved care and a better experience.

  • Our Cone Beam CT Scanner enables us to generate three-dimensional images of your soft tissues and bone. This enables us to get a clear picture of your facial structure for precise treatment planning.
  • We are able to create your dental crowns right here in our office with the E4D system. After taking digital impressions (much easier than the traditional impression process!), the computer mills your crown in the office while you wait. So you don’t have to wear a temporary crown for several weeks while your restoration is crafted at an outside lab.
  • Regular dental X-rays are an essential component of checkups and preventive care. Our digital X-ray machine delivers excellent picture quality while exposing you to far less radiation than conventional X-rays.

At Synergy Dental Center, your comfort is our priority. We have the amenities, people skills, and technology — plus dental sedation — to ease the anxiety of even the most nervous patients. To book an appointment, fill out our handy online form or call our Gillette, WY office at 307-622-1311.

weird green powder freaks me out.

there are sure a lot of bland looking bowls of noodles on this blog.  Z’s favorite food is basically buttered egg noodles with tube cheese.  Not so high falutin’.  Just got home from a summer vacation wedding trip to Denver.  We arrived Monday evening and after dropping our rings off for some love at Shane Co. stopped in at Noodles & Co for Z’s favorite dish.  It pains me to spend $5.35 on a bowl of noodles.  But I did.  I got the Wisconsin Macaroni and Cheese which wasn’t the best ever but was a trip down memory lane.
*I have a texture in food thing and do not stir my noodles.  Don’t do it for me or I will be less happy.

Don't Predict the Future With the Past

In a recent article, NYU professors Gary Marcus and Ernest Davis shed light on some of the dangerous assumptions we make about big data. One of those was making future bets based on the past while your measurement tool is changing.

The example they gave was Google Flu Trends, which predicts influenza outbreaks in 25 countries around the world. Launched in 2008, it became particularly popular during the 2009 H1N1 flu pandemic, where it predicted flu outbreaks faster than the CDC.

Google Flu Trends struck fear and awe into the hearts of those watching the colors on the map deepen from green to red. How magical that search data could be harnessed for purposes like these. The only problem: in the past couple of years, it’s been more wrong than right.

From 2011-2013, Google Flu Trends overestimated the prevalence of the flu, as compared to CDC records of actual doctor visits. There are several reasons why this happened, one of which is that GFT’s algorithm is dependent upon Google Search: another algorithm that is constantly changing.

A March 2014 article in the journal Science outlines some of these issues. For example, Google began making suggestions based on the searcher’s keywords, which could have led to more people searching for generic symptoms like “fever” to search for the flu instead, artificially increasing the number of flu-related searches.

Using the same algorithm from 2008 to make predictions about flu outbreaks depended upon Google search algorithms and user search behavior being roughly the same as they were in 2008, which they weren’t. As a result, GFT recently updated its algorithm to try to improve upon its accuracy. There’s an auxiliary problem here too, which is that most people using GFT never knew whether the algorithm was correct. Thousands of people probably told their friends about where the flu would break out next, or believed the magnitude of the outbreak was worse than it was. But there was no accountability for GFT’s predictions.

These problems with big data: both making predictions when the landscape itself is evolving, and the lack of accountability, pose dangers to data-fueled predictions about startups, as well. Perhaps nowhere else are algorithms for success more volatile than in technology-based startups. The way we used the internet in 2000 is not how we use the internet in 2010. The way startups raised money in 2005 is not how startups raise money in 2014.

We don’t know what will make the next startup successful based on what’s worked in the past, because the standards for success change so rapidly.

Almost by definition, the “next big thing” is going to be something we aren’t prepared for. Many people have written about this subject, including Chris Dixon and Dustin Curtis.

But even answers to questions like “what makes a good founder” might be changing as we speak. Having a highly technical founder may not be as important for certain types of companies anymore. Being a young founder used to be a liability until investors like YCombinator took a chance on them. Even the classic founder archetype who’s “a little bit crazy” has been debated as more and more startups begin to resemble small businesses.

Then we have the problem of metrics. Social metrics like Twitter mentions or Facebook followers, used to measure the momentum of a startup, didn’t even exist before Twitter or Facebook. We don’t know what the best metrics are to measure the next generation of startups, because we don’t yet know how they will be measured. Revenue probably once sounded like a reliable metric 20 years ago, but now, it’s possible for a company to have zero revenue and be valued at over $1B.

And finally, the role of luck in predicting successful startups gives us a crutch in holding data-driven decision makers accountable. If a startup defies the algorithm, we just say they got lucky (and indeed, many billion-dollar companies were outliers when they first started). Most people won’t hold these algorithms accountable or check to see whether the startups they predicted would be successful actually became so. The long waiting period from founding to exit - say, 7 years - means that although people might be paying attention to a wildly successful company throughout that trajectory, the ones who fail will be forgotten in 6 months.

In such a young industry, using data to predict successful technology-based startups may become more accurate as we get more data points, but we also need to remain cautious, understanding that the ground is moving beneath our feet even as we try to build upon it.

With Great Scale Comes Great Responsibility

When scraper sites and content farms began to creep their way up the search rankings, Google released the first of its infamous Panda algorithm updates in 2011 to stop them.

When Farmville notifications threatened to overtake our news feeds, Facebook turned the frequency down. The same thing happened with Upworthy-style news articles and meme photos, so viral that they threatened to become a pandemic.

To help us wade through marketing emails to get to our “real” email, Google released a number of changes to Gmail, including the promotion tab and a handy unsubscribe button from the inbox.

These actions suggest that these companies understand their unique position to provide quality control to the Internet. They are more than just another tool or product that we use; they’re a gatekeeper to our experience in the online world.

We don’t want to think twice about having to sort through a crappy newsfeed, inbox, or list of search results to find what we’re really looking for. We just want it to be there. For the most part, these gatekeepers have excelled at that.

Which is why it’s frustrating to read about them using their power in seemingly oblivious ways.

Earlier last week, Google released an update to Google Maps. If you have the Uber app installed on your phone, you will now see - in addition to walking, biking, driving, or taking public transportation - an option to take an Uber. It hasn’t escaped anyone’s notice that Uber is a portfolio company of Google Ventures.

A few days later, Amazon was accused of throttling access to books from publisher Hachette in order to negotiate better discounts - reporting them as out of stock, removing them from their recommendations, and saying it will take 3-4 weeks for delivery, despite Hachette’s insistence that they are fulfilling their Amazon orders on time.

Amazon’s behavior with publishers has been going on for years. It’s not unlike the longstanding accusations from local businesses that Yelp manipulates their reviews unless they pay for advertising, or Facebook deprecating content from business pages unless they pay for advertising.

This behavior is unacceptable, and we should call it out when we see it.

With great scale comes great responsibility. Whether conscious or not, the public relies upon these companies to preserve the neutrality of the internet and keep it a safe and fair space.

Turning down the volume on spammy game notifications, news articles, and low-quality content helps build the public’s trust. Putting personal priorities over public interest destroys that trust, in addition to threatening the rules of capitalism and competition law that keeps our society running like a democracy.

A tiny bookstore favoring strategic partnerships should come as no surprise to anyone. But when it’s a store the size of Amazon - controlling more than a third of book trade in the United States - they should know better.

There is nothing somebody will not hear! Just when I’m thinking my husband is the only one that has major ‘issues’, I get a mail from another woman whose husband’s plate I think is ‘full’…Lol!
Read on,
Dear NHW,
I hope this mail gets to you and you publish it, but please do not put my name.
I have a serious marital problem that I can’t keep to my self anymore and it is about my husband.
Funnily, the problem has always been there even before I got married to him, but I thought it was a mere joke then because he was a bachelor. The problem is that he always moves around with a traveling bag filled with all the necessities you can imagine, at the trunk of his car. In the traveling bag, you will see toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, comb, clean shirts, trousers, and boxers, not to mention ‘mini-breakfast’ stuffs like coffee, milk, sugar and a mug!
Please, what type of husband does that?! As far as I am concerned, only a philandering type of husband would do that! I have approached him on the subject and instead of being repentant, he tries to justify his actions! He claims his job is the type that insists that he must be ready to travel at anytime!   NHW, what kind of stupid job?! As if I do not know the type of job he does! Granted, sometimes his job entails traveling because he is an auditor by profession and if he travels, it may be like once in three months but not to the extent of leaving a traveling bag in the trunk of a car permanently!
NHW, you know why I do not believe or trust him, he sometimes spends the weekend outside our marital home even without the office sending him and no apologies! That is not right! He is making to turn to something else O! He comes back late from wherever and still expects me to enter the kitchen! Well, I’ve told him that enough is enough, so my curfew for the kitchen starts at 9pm. Any time later than that, he is on his own!
So I need advice, on how to approach this matter because I am running out of patience! I need husbands especially to advice me on how to advice their ‘colleague’.
Thank you.
*Choi Choi Choi Choi Choi* But Husband(s) why now?! Please if I may ask “what kind of *cough cough…se you get?!* is so sweet that it has to keep you away from your family talk less of your home?” …#justaskingO

The beginning of love for *cough cough…se you get?!* is the downfall of a man!!

Fellow readers, over to you because this one heavy small for me. Asking this husband to stop putting the travel bag in his car will be so cliche!

Any way dear, just calm down. Being worked up won’t allow you have a clear head and reason things out properly. One thing is for sure, look for a time when HE IS AT HOME AND RELAXING to talk to him about how you feel and if you guys can work out a solution or at least meet somewhere in the middle. Reacting negatively to the situation, is not going to help matters…you go just jam ‘aja okuta’!

Prayer, lest I forget, always plays a major role in all situations! From prayers, you can draw wisdom to help you deal with your present situation. And don’t forget to examine yourself, there might be something you are doing that may be pushing him away. He will not tell you if you are expecting that. Men can be babies, they usually have a problem expressing themselves except to throw ‘Tantrums’!

House O!…comments please

Search This Blog

Monday, April 2, 2012

Search-advertising giant Google has announced a Sh28million funding to iHub and KENET the former an innovation hub and the latter an organization that provides internet access for tertiary institutions.

iHub will use the money to expand its work with application developers who in turn may come up with innovations that enrich the Android platform.

KENET on the other hand will continue to "connect educational institutions with a private, affordable high speed Internet."

Both of course fit into Google's mission: - To organize the  the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.

In these parts of the world, information is either still snaking its way from print and handwritten materials to electronic format or has not even been documented yet.

A simple search of things associated with our cultures will yield little on the net whether on Wikipedia or on the web in general.

Applications, especially mobile applications such as those developed at iHub, tend to increase human interaction and therefore generate content. Google wants to organize that content.

Academic halls of course are a logical fit for Google as this is where information is of necessity, exchanged.

Build and install 3D Slicer4 from source code in Windows

The 3D Slicer is a modern biomedical image processing and analysis software based on ITK and VTK libraries. It is an open source, and can be extended with plugins. Developing new modules, though, demands building the Slicer from the source code.

To say the truth, building Slicer in Windows (especially 64 bit Windows) is a pain. The official installation Wiki page is useful, but gives too many variants and options and jumping from one place to another with different prerequisites, prerequisites of prerequisites, etc., and finally forgets to tell you about essential Visual Studio switches. The result is: after a half day of building, you get between 1 to 5 unsuccessful builds…Who knows why…

After endless trials of installing different versions of different prerequisite softwares, here is my first successful installation list (VERY IMPORTANT to use the suggested software versions, and not newer versions):

  1. Install the newest version of Git.
  2. Install the newest version of SilkSVN.
  3. Install QT 4.7.4 (32 bit binary).
  4. Install VS 2008 Express with SP1.
  5. Install the newest version of CMake.
  6. Open the Windows file explorer and create the directory: C:\Slicer4
  7. Go to C:\ root directory, and press right mouse button. Choose Git Bash. When black terminal window opens, write and run:
    svn co http://svn.slicer.org/Slicer4/trunk Slicer4
  8. At this stage, the directory C:\Slicer4 should have all the source code of slicer.
  9. Go to Slicer4 directory, and create there Slicer4-Superbuild directory.
  10. Run CMake-GUI.
  11. Select…Where is the source code: C:\Slicer4
  12. Select…Where to build the binaries: C:\Slicer4\Slicer4-Superbuild
  13. Press Configure and select the generator Visual Studio 9 2008 (NOT Win64). If all the previous softwares were installed and configured properly, this step should run without any error messages, and give you a few selected red-background lines in the upper part of the GUI. If errors occur, this is probably because the system’s PATH is not updated properly (all binaries of all aforementioned programs should be included in the PATH variable.
  14. Press Configure once or twice until all the red disappears.
  15. Press Generate, and close CMake after the successful solution generation.
  16. Go to C:\Slicer4\Slicer4-Superbuild directory and open Slicer.sln with VS2008.
  17. When the project opens, select “Release” option instead of “Debug” on the upper toolbar (important!). Note that the built solution should be Win32 even when compiled on x64 machine and Win64.
  18. Build the solution. Hopefully, after a few hours of compiling, this should create a workable version of Slicer.

  • Once I’ve receive error for NUMPY build, and it was resolved by manually creating an empty NUMPY directory in the Slicer4-Superbuild directory, and recompiling.

[Block diagram of a "generic" space instrument.]

I'm giving a talk next week* and I needed a block diagram of a generic spacecraft instrument. I made one many moons ago but it looks verry dated now and is also about 400x300 pixels and I can't find the original graphics program file. So I thought, I'll make myself a new one.

I'll probably talk about the slide it's on for a minute and a half, maybe two. I probably shouldn't have spent two hours on this. I'm now trying to justify the time spent to myself by sharing it with the internet. Hi, internet!

If you're wondering what this is, it shows how a set of sensors that measure physical parameters in space (on the right in green, labeled MAGOBS and MAGIBS) are connected to a spacecraft (on the left in gold). The physical parameter, in the case of these two sensors, is the ambient magnetic field.

The FEEs transform the physical parameters measured by the sensors into electrical signals.

The ICU is the instrument control unit, which takes telecommands (TCs) and timing signals from the spacecraft and passes them to the sensors. It also takes the data passed back from the front-end electronics (FEEs) and turns it into nice telemetry packets (TMs) that the spacecraft can then package up and beam to Earth through its communications system.

The PCU is the power converter unit, which takes the standard voltage from the spacecraft (usually +28 Volts) and chops it up into secondary voltages that the instrument FEEs can use (e.g. +/- 1.5 Volts)

It all looks very simple, no? You wouldn't think this sort of thing would take a dozen years or so to implement and launch would you? Sadly, you would be wrong about that.

* And two the week after that. They are all different. Whyyyy did I think it would be a good idea to sign up to give a group meeting when I already knew I had another two talks to give? /o\

Day 43/365: Icon Meme: Explain Yourself! [20180212|20:24]
Mad Scientess Jane Expat
[Tags|, , , , , , , , , , ]
[with a hint of |kmfdm - godlike]

(With apologies for back-to-back meme posts, but this is Day 5 of 6 of the bloke being on the other side of the globe and I’m low on spoons.) [personal profile] wordweaverlynn selected three icons for me to explain, and so I have done so.

First up is Tanz Mit Kitten.

The song “Tanz Mit Laibach” by Laibach is one of my favourite stompy dance tunes. I was pleased when Rather Good (of “We Like The Moon” fame) decided to animate it with jackbooted kittens. Please do NOT click the following link if you are allergic to jerky animated images accompanied by loud repetitive music. Stompy Kittens Ahoy.

I don’t use this icon very much, but now I’ve been reminded that it’s there, I shall probably do so with greater frequency.

Next is Little Naughty.

This purple-haired poison-drinking devil child came from the mind, and pen, of artist Junko Mizuno. She has written several adorably creepy and occasionally pornographic manga, some of which are (very loosely) based on fairy tales. I have a number of vinyl figures and t-shirts with her designs on them.

I’ve had this icon for many years and use it pretty regularly, usually when I’ve had a drop of whisky.

Finally, there is Broken Tachikoma.

Okay, so I’m not sure it’s a problem to spoil an anime that is this old, but nevertheless I will put the bulk of the description behind a cut. Tachikoma is a robot and comes from The Ghost in the Shell, which, if you peruse my other icons, you will see is one of my favourite stories ever. In this icon Tachikoma has sacrificed itself out of loyalty, in order to try to save Batou, who is the one human (well, cyborg) who cared for it and all its siblings, and fought against their “decommissioning”. Tachikoma was designed as a super-agile transportation vehicle and scout, not to combat military-grade weaponry on its own, though it often carried those who were. The scene when it gets all shot up in this icon is one of the most tragic moments in the series.

This is the “my heart is breaking” icon. I don’t have occasion to use it often in my own journal, but I use it when it’s appropriate on comments in others’.

If you would like to explain three of your icon choices, please leave a comment and I will select the ones that intrigue me.

street people

photo by Ray Blumhorst

by Francis Baumli, Ph.D.

 Warren Farrell’s The Myth of Male Power (1993) is, in my opinion, his best book. But I have always been skeptical about, and disappointed by, its little section which deals with homeless men.1 I thought it too brief, looked into his several sources and found them too vague, and while I appreciated his note of alarm about how this problem affects men, I never felt that he had truly dealt with the problem of homeless men. Still, I appreciated his attempt at providing sound statistics, e.g., “Ninety-six percent of the adult homeless in San Francisco are men. In other cities it is less—a median of 85 percent men.”2 I also appreciated his trenchant observation: “Remember when almost all the homeless were men? We called them ‘bums.’ Then some women appeared. We called the women ‘bag ladies.’ When about 15 percent were women, we called them ‘homeless’ and we suddenly began to care.”3 This latter statement, although insightful, in my opinion scarcely does more than scratch the surface of the problem. As for these statistics: I have traveled widely, and have made it a point to observe the plight of the homeless, and what I always felt I was seeing involved something much worse for men than what was suggested by Farrell’s statistics.

We must acknowledge that Farrell’s statistics are now outdated. Another problem, though, is that I do not believe they were accurate to begin with.  I do not blame Farrell for this. The problems with such data have been multi-faceted. How do you gather such data and judge whether it is accurate? You are relying on census bureau figures, private studies, and the very different perspectives of the many individuals who gather this data. Do they merely count aggressive beggars who are badgering them for money? Or do they hike along a river and try to talk to the often angry, or morose, or psychotic people sleeping under bridges?

I realized that a radical new approach is needed for trying to answer the question (and solve the problem) as to what percentage of our homeless are men compared to how many are women. I began pondering the nature of the terminology as it applies to this question. Having grown up in rural Northwest Missouri, I remembered the hobos who traveled through. They were rural, traveling bums. They might stop at a farm house and offer to do work for food. They might then sleep in the hayloft of the barn. When they left the next day there was a good chance they had stolen one or two items from the household. Later I would discover that bums also lived in cities. They sat on curbs with their feet in the gutter, a bottle of wine in their hands, and they slept in alleys or in shelters. But during my younger days, and even now, while I have read about, though rarely have met, homeless women, I virtually never see homeless women living on the streets. In fact, I have only known of two: An old woman here in Saint Louis who had her lucid moments but was generally psychotic. And a young woman in Columbia, Missouri who seemed psychotic, was seriously anorexic, ate out of a dumpster behind a pizza joint, and often slept in that same dumpster. Two women on the street! Yet 15 percent of the homeless are women? How could I reconcile my observation with these statistics?

I realized that I needed to start posing some questions—the right questions. My wife is a physician with a specialty in Family Practice who works at a Community Health Care Center. (A nice way of saying it is a place that serves the poor.) A significant number of their patient population is classified as homeless. And what is the criterion for being classified this way? Only that the person does not have a permanent mailing address. This is all it takes for such people to be termed homeless and receive free medical care. (And of course an undetermined number of people lie, claiming to be homeless when actually they are not, for the sake of getting that free medical care.)

I asked questions, not only of my wife but also of other doctors, and began figuring out that these homeless people tend to fall into three categories. There are those who indeed have no permanent mailing address, but nevertheless have living accommodations. One person might be an unemployed man who lives with one relative for a few weeks, then when his welcome wears thin, he goes to live with another relative. At each of these places he has ample food, a shower every night, a comfortable bed, warmth in the winter, air-conditioning in the summer. Another such person might be a runaway teenager who has found a matrix of friends she can depend on, and she does what is called “couch surfing,” going from one place to another each night, sleeping on their couch or in a spare bedroom. She too enjoys the amenities of a home while being classified as homeless. Another such person is an old man who lived with the lay workers at a monastery for a few weeks, then went to a convent a few miles away for a few weeks, and now is living in a free room at the local priest’s parsonage. Since he doesn’t know how long he will be able to stay there, he does not consider this a permanent address.

It appears that a significant percentage of this kind of homeless people are women. Especially young women. Mind you, I would not want to be living such a lifestyle myself, but I here make the claim that this kind of homeless person has the most comfortable (or the least uncomfortable) of the lifestyles which define homeless people.

There is a second population that is in worse shape. They are homeless too, in the sense that they do not have a permanent mailing address. Like the first class of homeless people, they have found lodging, although it is less comfortable. Usually this lodging is in shelters set up especially for the homeless. Some of these shelters allow the residents to stay 24 hours a day (I have found this true in most shelters that have women and children as residents), but most such shelters allow the residents to stay only for supper, a night’s sleep, breakfast, and then they must leave for the day. (I have found this to be the case with most shelters that have only adult men as residents.) This group of people occupies a lower class, so to speak, than the first; but at least they do have a mattress to sleep on at night, they are warm in the winter, and usually there is some food and some availability of cleaning facilities.

Then there is a third class of the homeless whose circumstances are even more dire, and for want of a better term, I call them “street people.” This means, very simply, that they are living on the streets—although sometimes this does not literally mean “street.” Perhaps these people are on the streets during the day and at night they sleep on a heating vent, in a doorway, or in a cardboard box in an alley. Sometimes they do not quite live on the street because they congregate along rivers, sleep under the bridges that go over rivers, or they live near truck stops and sleep under highway overpasses in filthy sleeping bags or in a nearby farm shed until the owner discovers them and kicks them out. These people occupy the lowest class of the homeless, and they are the ones I call street people.

But I have found that even street people fall into two classes. There are the street people who end up in this unfortunate situation only briefly. For example, I knew a family that was abruptly evicted from their home when the bank foreclosed. For one night they slept on the front lawn to watch over their belongings. The next day, relatives helped them move most of their belongings. The father then slept there alone the second night to watch over the rest of their belongings which were fetched the following day. Another example involves a woman with three children whom I met at a Goodwill. She had fled her home because of a bad (though not abusive) marriage, and was there asking for help. The personnel of this entire store (both male and female) were busy trying to help her. She had spent the previous night sleeping in a park with her three children, but this day the Goodwill employees had already found her a tiny apartment, and were busy fitting the children with clothing and finding furnishings for the apartment. I found out about this because I had gone to the store with three mattresses I was planning to donate, but was told that because of health rules Goodwill could no longer take bedding of any kind. However, one industrious worker took me aside, told me the plight of this woman and her three children, and asked me if I would haul the three mattresses to the apartment which was only a short distance away. So I drove there in my pickup, managed by myself (with considerable difficulty) to get the three mattresses up a flight of narrow stairs, and thus this homeless family, after one night on the street, although now still homeless by legal definition nevertheless had lodging. Another example involved a man who was going through a divorce, had to leave the family home, and decided to sleep in his car. He did so the first night, but the next day his car was impounded by his wife’s divorce lawyers. So for a full week he would sneak back to the family home at night and sleep in the very spacious (but empty) doghouse in the back yard without his wife knowing about it. (Yes; he literally slept in the doghouse. This actually happened!) A week later, he finally swallowed his pride (part of which involved accepting the fact that the situation was not going to change), went to visit his brother, told him what had happened, and was invited to live there.

These homeless people are, if I may use the phrase and thus appear (sic) callous, what I call “temporary street people.” I do not deny that they are having a terrible time. They are scared, cold, hungry, and what is perhaps worst, they can not feel sure but that this state of being temporarily on the street may be permanent. But as events turn out, it is not permanent. They find shelter, lodging, some degree of security.

Then there are those I call the “permanent street people.” These are the dregs of society, and they are the lowest class of the homeless. They are often mentally ill or addicted to illegal drugs, they are social outcasts, they are dirty and hungry and tired and have no hopes for bettering themselves. They sleep on damp riverbanks under bridges, or on cold concrete in alleyways while huddled in boxes, or on heating vents where everyone walking by can see them. They might occasionally get food at a soup kitchen or by begging, but just as likely their food is found in dumpsters, in garbage cans, or they steal their food and sometimes hope to get caught so they can have a night’s lodging in a jail cell. They may be psychotic enough they do not want lodging that is more comfortable. They may be prone to violence, and because of this, may have been kicked out of every shelter they otherwise might have been able to stay in. Or they may feel so ashamed and depressed that they can not bear to let other people see them this way, so they shun all human contact except for living in proximity to other people who are just as down and out as they are. They go weeks without a decent meal, months without safe or comfortable lodging, years without bathing. They can not afford medical care, and have no means for traveling to a place where they might be able to get free medical care. Ordinary people are afraid of them, or contemptuous toward them, and society keeps them at a distance. Police in cities patrol the alleys during the day and destroy the boxes these people sleep in. A stranded motorist under an overpass sees them and calls the police on his cell phone; the police come and order the street people sleeping there to move along. People sic their dogs on them. Our society treats them like animals, and they are on the street permanently.

Yes. Permanently. Or nearly so. Let us try and set forth a useful criterion here. Let us state that “permanent street people” are on the street at least 300 days of the year. People who spend less time on the street are “temporary street people.” What about the people who fall somewhere in between these two categories? For example, someone who is on the street 250 days a year? Allow me to make the observation (readily acknowledging that this claim is not based on as much carefully gathered empirical data as I would prefer) that there is not much of a population “in between” the two categories of those who are on the street at least 300 days a year and those who are on the street fewer than 300 days a year. From what I have observed, this “in between” area is extremely rare. “Permanent street people” actually are almost always on the street much more than 300 days a year. “Temporary street people” are rarely there more than a couple of weeks.

And how do these two categories discriminate between men and women? Again my claims are based on what I myself have witnessed, what I have been told by street people themselves, or what doctors and police have told me. I think a safe estimate is that, when we look at how men and women comprise the populations of those who are temporarily on the street and those who are permanently on the street, more than 90 percent of those who are permanently on the street are men and about 80 percent of those who are temporarily on the street are men. In truth, I believe that ten years ago the number of people on the street permanently was more than 95 percent men, while people on the street temporarily were about 90 percent men. But my wife, whose clinic has for its patients such a large number of homeless people, observes that the number of women who are street people has risen dramatically over the last few years and continues to rise, because most women on the street are drug addicts “turning tricks” for their drug money.4 In response to what my wife told me I observed that women, since they so often are the recipients of chivalry, probably do not end up on the streets even when they are prostituting themselves for drug money. She countered that such women do not get chivalrous treatment because when they are allowed to stay at someone’s place, they bring their problems with them. When they arrive they are strung out on drugs and they bring their drug supply with them. Also they may bring in customers, or a violent boyfriend, or other prostitutes they know. Soon they get kicked out and no one wants to have anything to do with them. They end up sleeping in doorways, alleys, etc. just as men do when they are permanently on the street.

Still, for this third class of people, I must here emphasize my current estimate: I believe that of those on the streets temporarily at least 80 percent are men, and of those on the street permanently at least 90 percent are men. I welcome data that would prove me wrong. As for how percentages work out in the other (less difficult) two categories of the homeless, I can not hazard an estimate. I have seen too many studies, with results so vastly inconsistent, that I trust neither that data nor my own ability to decipher the true implications of that data with a worthy degree of accuracy.

Allow me to emphasize that in no way am I minimizing the difficulties of any of these people who are homeless. But I am stating that there are some very telling class differences which apply to different kinds of homelessness. A 19-year-old girl who is couch-surfing with friends for a year may be homeless, and this may happen because she fled a difficult home life, but her lifestyle scarcely has the level of suffering a mother of the same age, with two children, is experiencing while living in a shelter. But even the suffering experienced by members of these two classes does not approach the suffering experienced by members of the third class: the true street people. And even here there are two subclasses: the temporary street people, and the permanent street people.

In describing these two subclasses, we need to be very careful about defining the sort of people who really do belong in these classes. For example, the rock icon of the 1960s and 1970s, Marianne Faithfull, during the early ‘70s spent two years on the Soho Streets of London. She has many times—in interviews and in writing—dramatized her plight by referring to herself as living on the streets during that Soho time when she was battling a cocaine habit and a heroine addiction. Yes; it appears she had a serious drug problem that could have been fatal. But was she really a homeless person? Did she meet the criterion of not having a permanent mailing address of her own? My research into this question did not yield a clear answer. Was she really a street person? If she was, then she was a street person only temporarily and intermittently. She, during this very time, was being helped by many personal friends, plus by people like David Bowie, Keith Richards, even her ex-lover Mick Jagger, not to mention other entertainment luminaries such as record-producer Mike Leander who helped her produce part of an album during this very time. So when Marianne Faithfull passes out on the street for the night because she used too much heroine, but then the next day is rescued by friends or by the driver of Mick Jagger’s limousine, this scarcely involves the same level of suffering experienced by a divorced man who has permanently become a malnourished wino, without a friend in the world, now living in a cardboard box behind a warehouse.

The point being made here involves how important it is to not obfuscate this entire topic with self-serving, or gender-serving, dramatics. This topic needs sound data, and this data must be gathered carefully. Scholarly research on the homeless needs to make careful distinctions, gather data accordingly, and then accurately describe what the status of these various homeless people actually is, what their gender make-up is, and the duration of their status as homeless persons. I am certain that if anyone could succeed in doing a census of these various classes of the homeless, the results would point to the alarming fact that, among homeless people, the vast majority of permanent street people are men.

But of course, we live in a society which is chronically and gleefully sexist toward men. Much of this sexism is so habitual as to be reflexive, and much of it is so normative as to be enjoyably acceptable. This means that, once the true data about homeless people emerges, and shows that most of those who live permanently on the street are men, then we would be in the position of having to address the next disturbing question: namely, in our sexist society, how many people would even care about the plight of men who live permanently on the street?

   2 Ibid., p. 208.

   3 Ibid., p. 209.

   4 For these observations, my wife uses her agency’s latest statistics which were gathered at the end of the year 2011. Of their 19,000 total patient population, 521 are classified as homeless. This is about 3 percent, or, to be more exact, 2.74 percent.

It bears noting that these statistics do not take into account those who have failed to be identified as homeless, nor does it estimate those who identify themselves as homeless in order to get free medical care but actually are not homeless, and it cannot, of course, take into account people who are living in that locale but can not even get transportation to this health facility and hence can not be identified as homeless.

For clarity’s sake, I again note that for these patients to be identified as homeless, all they have to do is claim that they do not have a permanent mailing address.

Street people are still people.

Street people are mostly men.

Many, way to many, street people are Veterans.

    Francis, you really ought to spend more time in the cities like DC, I see woman all the time that are homeless. Nonetheless I dont think of people with schizophrenia as the dregs of society but people who have a harsh and unrelenting brain disorder.

  2. Brian on June 4, 2013 at 3:41 PM

    You should find some statistics that can be compared and maybe do research to gather stats.

  3. Peter Allemano on May 30, 2013 at 1:26 PM

    Well written and very interesting! Thanks, Francis!
