New ferry to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport officially named after sports hero Marilyn Bell
Marilyn Bell I immediately goes into service after ceremony
Toronto – Canadian sports hero Marilyn Bell Di Lascio was on hand to help officially name the new ferry serving the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport ("BBTCA") in her name this morning.
"We are pleased that Ms. Bell Di Lascio could be here to participate in the naming ceremony for this new vessel. She remains a timeless inspiration to Canadians, and especially female athletes, for her swimming achievements," said Toronto Port Authority ("TPA") President and Chief Executive Officer Geoffrey Wilson.
After the ceremony, the new vessel went immediately into service, with Ms. Bell Di Lascio among its first passengers. A photo of the naming event is attached.
The TPA held a contest asking Canadians to choose the name of the new ferry and to rename the existing ferry serving BBTCA. A shortlist of 10 names was chosen from over a thousand entries submitted online and at kiosks at the BBTCA terminal. Torontonians could then vote for their favourite names through an online poll.
Marilyn Bell won the poll.
"I feel so privileged and happy that people still remember these feats that occurred a half-century ago," said Ms. Bell Di Lascio. "I am honoured to have the new ferry named after me, and I hope it stands as a reflection of what people can achieve by working hard, working together and overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges."
Ms. Bell Di Lascio was the first person to swim across Lake Ontario in 1954 at the age of only 16. After swimming 21 hours from Youngstown, N.Y., she reached the northern shore of the lake just west of Exhibition Place in Toronto at what is now Marilyn Bell Park. She was also the youngest person to swim the English Channel and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
The existing ferry was also renamed through the contest. It will be named after Flt. Lt. David Ernest Hornell, a Royal Canadian Air Force pilot and Victoria Cross recipient who was born on the Toronto Islands but died of injuries sustained in an air-sea battle with German forces in the North Sea during the Second World War. His name came in second in the online poll to name the ferry.
Ottawa resident Jane Dobell, one of several contest entrants who submitted Marilyn Bell's name, was chosen as the winner of a $500 travel voucher with Porter Airlines.
The contest entry chosen naming David Hornell was submitted anonymously. The TPA has decided to donate this prize, a Toronto Harbour cruise from 416-CRUISES, to students at David Hornell Junior School.
A backgrounder on the BBTCA ferry vessels and their namesakes is available at www.torontoport.com.

Zecotek Photonics excels at bringing innovative laser, imaging, and 3D display products to industrial, scientific and medical markets worldwide.
Zecotek's patented (US patent No. 7,132,060) Lutetium Fine Silicate (LFS) series of scintillation crystals are distinguished by their combined high light yields and ultra-fast decay times. These performance advantages enable faster, higher-resolution operation of medical and industrial imaging devices – including PET, PET-CT, and gamma cameras. The line of LFS crystals developed at Zecotek, covers a wide range of emission wavelengths which can be tailored to match the spectral sensitivity of various PMT detectors and Zecotek's flagship range of MAPD avalanche photodetector arrays.
Products based on LFS crystals are now available for sale. Their superlative light yields (80–85%, NaI scale) and decay constants (< 35 ns) set them apart from other industry contenders. Medical imaging devices can achieve particularly high performance and compact size by combining spectrally matched LFS with MAPD 3 detectors as well as other combinations involving existing PMT's and MAPD-2 types.
The superior radiation hardness of our LFS crystals also makes them ideally suited for many types of high-energy physics experiments and other applications associated with high levels of ionising radiation. Our continued R&D programme has also resulted in achievement of unprecedented extremely short decay times, which will be implemented in our future products. Such breakthrough developments open new horizons in time-of-flight imaging, notably in PET devices, which will dramatically improve clarity and resolution of generated data.
Zecotek has developed its patented LFS family of materials, which retain the best detection properties of LSO and similar scintillators, such as attenuation length and density, while at the same time improving the parameters critical to many modern applications (e.g. nuclear medicine) taking them to the highest levels yet attained. Zecotek's line of scintillators feature very high light output (80–85% on the Tl:NaI scale) and record-fast decay constant, the highest performance yet demonstrated among this class of scintillators. While certain other scintillation materials, such as alkali-halide compounds, may outperform LFS in some parameters, their much lower density, chemical instability, or other major drawbacks effectively exclude them from any high-end applications. Zecotek's technology makes it possible to tailor the spectral response properties of LFS materials to specific sensitivity curves of existing photo-detectors, such as PMT (Photo-Multiplier Tube) APD, or Zecotek's flagship range of MAPD avalanche photo-detector arrays.
As part of the development process, Zecotek has created a proprietary technology of chemical treatment of LFS pixel surfaces that maximises the light yield and delivers excellent energy resolution. While some manufacturers use chemical processes to create micro-structured surfaces of their materials (for instance, GSO), LFS crystal pixels treated with the Zecotek's proprietary process demonstrate significantly improved levels of light output. This technological know-how for fabrication of micro-structured pixel surfaces is important for commercial production of high-quality and cost-effective crystal elements for PET scanners as it avoids expensive mechanical all-face polishing of pixels for PET scanners currently used in the industry. In contrast, LFS arrays and elements using Zecotek's proprietary process technology require only one polished face.
These performance advantages enable faster, higher-resolution operation of imaging devices that rely on detection of X- and γ-rays, giving rise to multifarious improvements in cost-efficiency and performance in different branches of medical, research, and industrial applications. Medical imaging devices can achieve particularly high performance and compact size by combining spectrally matched LFS and MAPD detectors. The comparative table given above lists the most important parameters of the conventional scintillation materials and some of the LFS types. In particular, it should be noted that the LFS technology provides the fastest decay constant, the highest light output and radiation hardness, which are taking many existing applications to a new level and enabling others. It has also proven to be superior to other scintillation materials in its resistance to high-energy hadron irradiation used in high-energy physics experiments. Moreover, Zecotek's proprietary LFS manufacturing technologies permit the growth of very large-diameter boules with uniform properties and without cracking (a problem with many other competing materials), thereby securing a consistent and high element yield, which also provides for lower unit costs. These factors (radiation hardness and cost competitiveness) will play a decisive role in controlling the costs of maintenance and the downtime of major experimental installations, such as CERN's Large Hadron Collider, where high volume consumption of these materials is anticipated (see below). Applications of LFS Scintillation Crystals Zecotek's scintillation crystal is essential for PET devices, and especially for high-resolution scanners. Scintillator elements in PET detectors are a major component that may constitute up to one third (1/3) of the total system cost, and improved manufacturing economy together with higher performance place LFS as a lead contender for the next generation PET and combined PET/CT or PET/MRI systems. Micro-PET devices used particularly in pharmaceutical research require the highest spatial and energy resolution, and LFS fulfils all the requirements, providing extremely high performance close to the physical limit. Scintillation materials are also heavily used in high-energy particle physics, and due to their superior light yield and unique radiation hardness, LFS crystals are very attractive in many large-scale experiments of the high-energy physics, such as CMS/ECAL and ALICE/PHOS calorimetric detectors at LHC (Large Hadron Collider, CERN) or the PANDA detector (under construction) of the FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research, Darmstadt). These applications often use inferior materials, such as PWO (lead tungstate), which fulfil many of the requirements, but exhibit very low light yield and limited radiation hardness, which necessitates very costly periodic replacement of the scintillation elements. Choosing LFS will allow these international projects to achieve better performance and considerably reduce the cost of maintenance. Highly efficient scintillation materials exemplified by LFS are able to bring innovation and modern technologies to many fields whose paramount importance is internationally recognised today. Applications in homeland security stand to benefit greatly from the introduction of higher-performance and more costefficient scintillators, which will allow construction of more sensitive and larger gamma cameras for baggage and cargo monitoring. The compact and rugged design of small portable dosimeters and radiation monitors possible through integration of Zecotek's two complementary technologies, LFS and MAPD, will be a key factor in ensuring a thorough penetration of safety and security measures with respect to ionising radiation both in security application and in environmental monitoring: in transport and storage of fissile materials, in tracking radioactive emissions from nuclear power plants, in controlling traffic of radioactive isotopes, in ensuring medical safety of personnel working with ionising radiation, in monitoring environmental pollution in disaster zones.
The performance and cost competitiveness of Zecotek's scintillation crystals, which hold a considerable room for tailoring their properties to specific applications or detection techniques, opens the door for many other applications. LFS Intellectual Property The Lutetium Fine Silicate (LFS) scintillation crystals developed and patented by Zecotek (US patent No. 7,132,060) are distinguished by their exceptional combination of high light yields, uniquely high radiation hardness, and ultra-fast fast decay times. The LFS patent protection has been obtained in the USA, Europe, China, Japan, and Russia regarding the chemical composition of its crystal and ceramic forms for achievement of maximal light output (in the range of 412–430 nm) and short decay time. Highly efficient transformation of the energy of gamma quanta into that of blue light photons resulting in light output of about 35,000 ph/MeV is a hallmark of LFS attained due to very low concentrations of nano-structured cerium-doped and Gd-, Sc-, Y-, La-, Tb-, or Ca- co-doped emission centres distributed at the molecular scale through the lutetium silicate crystal host. Our crystal growth process based both on our patented innovations and Zecotek's powerful know-how portfolio is indispensable for fabrication of very uniform large-size boules without cracking, a unique feature only available through Zecotek's patented technology. Future Development The fundamental technology of scintillation material fabrication and processing has been fully developed and tested both at Zecotek's own laboratories and around the world. Our standard LFS material is now being internationally sold and has proven to be a superior material in its area of application. Different modifications of our base formula are being developed and introduced, which are adapted to specific areas of application that pose special requirements on parameters such as emission wavelength, radiation hardness, decay time, &c. Zecotek's R&D programme remains a key priority to ensure Zecotek's future technology lead in scintillation crystals. Zecotek continuously works on introduction of its scintillation products to new applications and on their wider adoption in those where they have already demonstrated their superior performance. Integrated Detector Module (IDM) Integration of detector elements and their assembly into complex installations, of which PET scanners represent a good example, requires much more than state-of-the-art materials. Highly scalable methods of mass manufacturing are necessary to provide the tens of thousands of individual elements that make up detector blocks in PET systems or nuclear detectors. The currently made (and even many under development) PET and PET/CT machines using mechanically polished and manually assembled scintillation pixels must eventually give way to their next generation, which will rely on mass production technologies, such as chemical treatment of the element surface instead of mechanical polishing and single-process fabrication of entire detector blocks already introduced or under development at Zecotek.
To meet these challenges, in addition to the introduction of our LFS scintillation materials in a variety of modifications, Zecotek is developing an Integrated Detector Module (IDM) configuration which marries the LFS with our another pioneer product, an array of MAPD's (Micro-pixel Avalanche Photo-Diode) in a patented 'plug and play' replacement for the PMT and crystal sets used in the current generation of PET and other detectors. This module features a scintillator block manufactured in a single technological process, which eliminates the processing of each individual element. It further removes the necessity of manual assembly of the scintillator block. Both these fabrication steps currently constitute a significant portion of the overall costs of detection modules. The IDM also uses a Zecotek patented configuration, important for the high-resolution medical imaging known as DOI or (Depth Of Interaction). Together with a rich portfolio of PET software and hardware solutions based on Zecotek's MAPD, LFS, and IDM technologies jointly developed with the University of Washington, Seattle, this unique combination of technologies will provide a complete foundation for a new low-cost, high-performance generation of PET scanners.
Zecotek's LFS materials demonstrate the highest radiation hardness of all crystal scintillators currently used in high-energy physics. This is demonstrated by the results of our experiments with exposing LFS samples to high-fluence proton beams, in which the LFS crystal is showing negligible degradation of transmittance.
The data shown below are the decay constant measurements performed with a 137Cs source and two of our LFS crystal samples. Logarithmic scale makes it easy to see fast light pulse slopes, indicative of LFS short decay time.

Beneficiary Penalised for Unreported Lifetime Gift
HMRC sent a tax penalty of £113,794 to a businessman for not replying to the executors of his father's estate to report an offshore lifetime gift.
Lifetime gifts can often, as here, result in extra Inheritance Tax being payable when the donor dies. The tax may be payable by the original recipient or by the executors of the estate. Where such gifts are not reported properly, HMRC can also charge a penalty of up to 100% of the extra tax. Normally where a gift is unreported, it is the executors of the estate who are responsible to pay both the tax and any penalty from their own pockets. This is one of the reasons why people need to think carefully before accepting the role of executor.
In this instance, however, it was the beneficiary himself who had to pay both the tax and penalty.
HMRC received an anonymous tip off, years later, concerning the lifetime gift. The beneficiary seemed to be under the mistaken impression that offshore accounts did not count for UK tax purposes and that similarly, because the gift was made abroad, it would not count for UK tax purposes. On this basis, he accepted the tax was due, but appealed against the tax penalty. The suggestion was that if anyone was at fault, and should pay the penalty from their own pockets, it should be the executors.
Fortunately for the executors, they were professionals and had taken professional advice. They were able to prove they had asked the beneficiary on two separate occasions whether any lifetime gift had been made to him by his late father. The tribunal therefore held that the penalty was firmly the responsibility of the beneficiary and not that of the executors.
This case is important as a reassurance to executors that they can be protected if they take, and act upon, suitable advice. It also serves as a warning to beneficiaries that they should reply openly to enquires made by executors.

The Monetary Madness of Trump, Cruz and Rubio
On March 9, 2016 By Tony Kendzior - Financial PlannerIn Economy & Markets
My Comments: On its face, this looks like just another political swipe at the remaining presidential hopefuls on the right. However, as an aspiring economist and financial planner, I appreciate the role played by government in the financial sector and know how critical it is. These comments point to some dubious thinking on the part of some candidates.
Tuesday, Mar. 08, 2016 by Christopher Ragan
Anyone watching the U.S. presidential primaries is seeing a fascinating cast of characters and plenty of energetic debate. The three leading contenders on the Republican side – Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio – are particularly interesting. They naturally have competing views on many issues, but when it comes to monetary policy, they are remarkably aligned. Unfortunately, they all line up in the wrong direction; each apparently misunderstands why central banks operate the way they do.
Begin with the front-runner, Donald Trump. He argues that the U.S. Federal Reserve should be audited. He is hopefully aware that the Fed's books are already audited, and available for all to see on the Fed's website. But what he really appears to mean is that all the Fed's policy decisions should be brought before Congress and defended, and maybe even subjected to some kind of vote.
This is a very bad idea because it would politicize monetary policy. Central banks all across the world have operational independence from their government masters for good reason. Before such independence was granted, central banks were under political pressure to ease policy before elections, and this led over the years to higher inflation. Eventually, we learned that the way to keep inflation low and stable is to state this objective clearly, grant central banks the operational independence to achieve it and then hold them accountable for their performance. The past 25 years of inflation targeting in many cousntries suggests that the current system is working.
Now, consider the views of Texas Senator Ted Cruz, as reported in November by the Huffington Post: "Instead of adjusting monetary policy according to whims … the Fed should be … keeping our money tied to a stable level of gold." Mr. Cruz is suggesting that the Federal Reserve go back a century to the days of the gold standard.
This is also a very bad idea. It would tie the Fed's hands and prevent it from dealing with the impact of large economic shocks. During the Great Depression in the 1930s, when thousands of U.S. banks failed and the economy went into a massive tailspin, the Fed's strict adherence to the gold standard kept it from acting. It could not extend credit to solvent but illiquid private banks without violating its gold-based rule, and so it chose instead to sit on the sidelines and watch the economic tragedy unfold.
Most economists today look back at that experience and conclude that the Fed's policy was a major error. They also conclude that if the Fed had been using the same gold-based rules when the global financial crisis began in 2008, the subsequent recession would have been far worse than it was, when the Fed was able to act aggressively.
Florida Senator Marco Rubio also has a problem with the Federal Reserve. At a CNN town-hall event last month, he said the Fed's job is to "provide stable currency and I believe they should operate on a rules-based system. They would have a very simple rule that determines when interest rates go up and when interest rates go down."
While simple rules sound appealing, this is also a very bad idea. The job of the Fed is to keep inflation low while promoting growth and keeping financial markets stable. It does this by adjusting its policies, sometimes in response to shocks and sometimes in anticipation of events that are expected to occur. The shocks vary by origin, type, size, duration and impact. The almost countless possibilities mean that policy cannot follow a simple rule – and using one would prevent central bankers from doing their job, resulting in worse economic outcomes.
So far, monetary policy has not figured prominently in the U.S. presidential primaries. Based on these views, this is probably a good thing. But there is still plenty of time before the candidates will be chosen, and who knows what debates will unfold regarding the appropriate behaviour of the Federal Reserve?
The truth is that the processes of economic growth and inflation are complex, and monetary policy is equally complex. We need our central banks to maintain their operational independence and central bankers to continue using their well-informed judgment to keep our economies operating on an even keel.
Let's hope these three bad ideas disappear soon and don't threaten the policy coherence at the world's most important central bank.

The air outside is brisk, and as I step out into the sunlight I can already tell that it will be a beautiful day. Perfect weather, in fact, for shopping at an open-air market. I make the short trek from JBKO to the Foggy Bottom Metro station and meet my trusty Features section assistant Jesse down on the platform.
Eastern Market has been a D.C. institution for about 20 years, yet it has taken me more than three years at GW to venture over to the Southeast neighborhood.
All dairy dreams aside, I am pretty excited as we step off the Metro and see groups of people wondering down 7th Street toward the brightly colored tents, aroma of fresh peaches and multitude of vendors selling their wares. I feel as though I am in the old country polishing my haggling skills, ready to purchase whatever delights are in store for me. Scenes from Monty Python's "The Life of Brian" come to mind.
The Weekend Market Festival is separated into many sections. On one side of 7th Street, there is a parking lot blocked off and full of tables of jewelry, artwork, tapestries and practically anything that you could imagine. Well, within reason – there are no live farm animals for sale.
At any rate, I am a veritable kid in the candy store, perusing table after table of sterling silver jewelry, turquoise pendants and various rings, bracelets and necklaces made by local craftspeople. I should also mention that the term, "flea market" doesn't really fit Eastern Market. There is really not a huge selection of thrift clothing and cheap items for sale. Most of the silver rings I liked were between $30 and $60 apiece. Maybe after a few more paychecks, I will go back and claim the turquoise ring that caught my eye.
We saunter back across the street to where the tent-covered tables of fruit, vegetables and flowers are located. The shade is a welcome change from the increasingly warm sun, and so were the free samples at many of the tables. Jesse and I indulge our taste buds with Asian pears, fresh peaches, white peaches and a variety of apples. Hailing from Georgia, I like to think that I am somewhat of an expert on peaches, and I must say these were some of the most tender and delicious ones I have ever tasted.
But, alas, I was distracted from my true mission at this market: my grandiose desire for a wheel of cheese. So Jesse and I decide to enter South Hall, a building that houses local butchers, seafood vendors, bakeries and a dairy. Walking around, Jesse points out the pig's feet and lamb kidneys to me. For those of you who have never been to an actual butcher and do like to eat meat, I don't suggest going. Tongues, kidneys and ox tails don't really boost an appetite. I find it better to be ignorant of what I am eating.
And then I see it – a sign touting "cheeses from around the world." I know immediately that this is the place for me. Fresh mozzarella, Brie, provolone, cheddar; this place has it all. The best part is, I get to sample any cheese I want before having to decide on what to buy.
The vendors working here gave me samples of Swiss, cheese with hot peppers and Irish cheddar. Looking around, though, I notice a block of green cheese. Yes, the perfect side to green eggs and ham: green cheese. A streak of courage wells up within and I ask to taste it. As it happens to be, this particular green cheese was called Darby Sage. Upon hearing this, I decide that I must buy this cheese because, not only does it taste surprisingly good, it was practically named for me. Darby, Derby, it's kismet. So I buy a quarter pound of the Darby cheese and a quarter pound of mozzarella, a safe favorite.
The woman working behind the counter hands me a paper sack full of cheese and I am happily on my way, clutching the bag to myself like a small child would coddle a baby doll.
The next stop on our South Hall adventure takes us to the bakery at the other end of the building. After seriously scrutinizing cakes, cookies and pies, I decide to get an apple streusel. Content with my purchases, I walk back out into the fresh air and am ready to leave the Eastern Market.
But then one last thing catches my eye: a purple pepper. Similar to its cousin, the green bell pepper, purple peppers are a bit smaller and give off a much sweeter aroma. It is such a pleasing odor that I, from time to time, brought the pepper out of its bag to breathe in the scent. "Ah, smell the purple pepper," I say aloud and in my head. If it smells this good, I can only imagine how good it must taste. And for $1 apiece, it better taste pretty good.
After almost two hours, an apple streusel, a block of green cheese, mozzarella and a purple pepper later, I am ready to leave Eastern Market's Weekend Market Festival. I feel triumphant walking home with my wares and I plan to return to the market the next weekend.

Rome Rome FCO
Rome is a walkable city for sights
by Ric Garrido
Facebook Twitter Reddit Print Share via Email
Turned out Rome is a far more walkable city than I expected in late June. Temperatures were mostly 28C/82-83F, dry on our first day and more humid with a couple of brief, but heavy afternoon rain showers.
Proximity of so many major city attractions like the Colosseum, Roman Forum ruins, Markets of Trajan, Alter of the Fatherland, the Pantheon and Vatican City and many other attractions along a 3 or 4 mile route make any walk across the city an historical education opportunity.
Altare della Patria-Alter of the Fatherland (also site of Tomb of Unknown Soldier).
Cheap public transportation at 1.50eur for bus or Metro makes Rome an easy city to travel place to place. Walk or ride to a place you want to visit and then walk or ride towards other attractions along a route back to your hotel.
Walk when the weather is good and pick up public transportation when the weather is not. Jump on the Metro or a bus when you want to be somewhere else or get back to your lodging neighborhood quickly.
Metro A line through Central Rome 11:24am Sunday.
Same train 11:31am Sunday morning after most passengers exited at Ottaviano Metro Station for Vatican City.
Even more surprising about Rome to me is Kelley has said several times over the past two weeks how much she enjoyed being in Rome to finish off our June 2018 Europe trip. Despite the summer heat and summer crowds this trip, she wants to return again to Rome when the weather is cooler.
I want to return to Rome again when World Cup plus heat of day does not have us seeking a bar TV for hours at a time during the day to watch a game, drink a beer or two, while out of the sun, hopefully feeling a cooling air conditioner.
No AC in this bar, but two Brits Karen and Graham were in Rome to see Pearl Jam. Watched big England win against Panama.
Watching World Cup soccer in Europe was a blast with so many international connections made. In Rome we saw Germany-Sweden World Cup qualifying match played Saturday night in The Good Fellas Pub, where we ate dinner seated adjacent to a couple of German women, both totally stunned by a 95th minute Germany win. On Saturday we spent two hours talking with Karen and Graham during the England game. In Lithuania we talked with a former Russian soldier during the first World Cup match between Russia and Saudi Arabia. In Poland, we watched Nigeria-Iceland while talking travel and politics with a British expat living in Norway.
Baltic Exchange for Rome
I changed our travel itinerary from Tallinn, Estonia to Rome for our last three nights in Europe to allow sightseeing for a couple of days in a city Kelley had never seen. My wife is a reluctant traveler and a cheap airline ticket back to San Francisco departing from Rome FCO was the only way I got her to Rome for this visit after some serious attempts to plan a trip to Italy over the past 20 years.
Pope Francis is an inspirational magnet for her.
Over two days we reached most of the big city sights by foot, even though we used our unlimited Metro 48 hour pass as much as we wanted.
The distance to St. Peter's Square in Vatican City is about 4.5km from where we stayed at Best Western Hotel Artdeco, about 15 minutes walk from Termini Station, Rome's main city center transportation hub.
We took the Metro to Vatican City on Sunday morning to see the Pope address the crowd at noon (in Italian) on the Feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist.

Over the course of seven hours we walked back to the hotel in a southerly route, where we saw Castel Sant Angelo, the Pantheon, Altare della Patria (Alter of the Fatherland), Trajan's Column and Markets of Trajan, the Roman Forum ruins and the Colosseum. We took the Metro B line from Colosseum Station 3 stops to Castro Pretorio in our hotel area.

The temperature in the low 80s was hot in the sun. Fortunately Rome's nasoni, 2,500+ public water fountains provided plenty of wet opportunities to soak my cap and cool my head.

Pantheon Rome
Pantheon Rome is a Roman temple built 113-125AD. The space is now a church and freely accessible to the public. The Pantheon receives over 6 million visitors annually. So many people were inside the space during our visit that a woman over a loudspeaker told visitors to quiet down and reminded us the space is a church.

Trajan Forum
Walking around Rome I simply took photos of old stuff without necessarily knowing the significance of what I was seeing. Adjacent to Altare della Patria is a large excavated area with a tall 98 ft. column.
Trajan's Column in the Forum of Trajan is an example of a space I walked by and snapped a few photos of objects that appeared to be old Roman Rome. Trajan's Column has a 190 meter spiral bas relief depicting scenes from the Roman victory in the Dacian Wars (101-106AD) in present day Romania.

The Roman Forum is architectural park land with many of the most important structures of ancient Rome situated along the 1km stretch between Altare della Patria and the Colosseum.

Admission to the Coloseum is 5eur and 1eur for an audio guide.
The Colosseum was built in 70-80 AD and is the largest amphitheater ever built.

Arch of Constantine
Standing beside the Colosseum is the Arch of Constantine (312-315 AD), the largest Roman triumphal arch commemorating Emperor Constantine. Under Constantine, the Edict of Milan in 313 made Christianity an officially tolerated religion in the Roman Empire.
All these sites were visited in an afternoon walk from St. Peter's Square to the Colosseum, mostly without use of a map, except to find the Pantheon. Another path could have meant another walk through different points of Rome and Roman history. We only had one more day to sightseee and decided to make an effort to visit some popular sights we saw on postcards in the tourist shops like Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps.
Rome is a grand city to walk around and feel its history.

Did you have a chance to visit Ara Pacis Augustae which is about 15-minute walk from Castello Sant'Angelo? Located on the opposite side of the Tiber from the castle heading north and adjacent to Mausoleo di Augusto. Worth a visit, it is an altar dedicated to Pax, the Roman goddess of Peace built in the year 9 BC. Saw the place when it had a Fascist-style building surrounding the Altar. This was pulled down in 2006, and replaced by a modern style glass and steel structure designed by architect Richard Meier (the same designer of the Getty Center).

DREAMLAB 2014
PRESENCING
DREAMWORK
PROGRAM BIOS APPLICATION VENUE GALLERY
DREAMLAB Autumn 2014 edition is a series of short intensive workshops and experimental events, which through diverse practices, perspectives and approaches of communal dreaming explore the potentiality of communitas.
1. Bonnie B. Buckner: Communal Dreaming (29.9 10am–6pm; 30.9 10am–2pm)
2. Elke Van Compenhout: Swarms and Radical Ethics (30.9 3–6pm)
3. Petra Veber: What Do Images Want? (1.10 10am–6pm)
4. Mala Kline: Dream HOSTEL CII (3.–4.10 8pm)
In Communal Dreaming Bonnie Buckner shows us how we dream all the time and that every communal (public) image, story, situation or event can be read as a dream we dream in the present. She offers practical tools that enable us to read the messages of our individual or communal dreams and by responding to it's necessity through our dreaming contribute to the unfolding of an alternative vision of oneself or ones community.
In Swarms and Radical Ethics Elke Van Compenhout with the help of her self-made Tarot of Hope deck invites the participants into a thought experiment that examines the power of rituals to transform an existing sense of community/communality and make us reinvent the rules of our togetherness.
In What Do Images Want? Petra Veber unfolds the image as a visual form of energy and a container of meaning. She shows us how we create meaning through the relation of images to what surrounds them. She gives tools to look attentively, read or write visually, through images and their relations, so that a thought unfolds as movement and in a non-linear way.
Bonnie B. Bucker, PhD (psychology), author of Dream Your Self into Being teaches business and creative professionals worldwide how to unlock their imaginations and unfold into their greatest versions of themselves. Using an ancient Kabbalistic lineage of dreaming and imagery techniques she has helped CEOs, politicians, small business owners, award-winning writers and filmmakers, working musicians and social entrepreneurs to overcome challenges and blocks to accomplish what they otherwise thought was impossible. A passionate believer that the business and creative process can be a path of powerful transformation, Bonnie enthusiastically endeavors to awaken the creative dynamism in individuals and reignite the potential of today's workplaces.
Elke Van Compenhout is an artistic researcher, and coordinator of the international research center a.pass (advanced performance and scenography studies). Formerly she worked as a free lance dramaturg and researcher on artistic research projects in Nadine (Brussels), paf (Reims), Tanzquartier Wien, kunstenfestivaldesarts (Brussels), Gasthuis (Amsterdam) and many other places.
She was a critic for the newspaper De Standaard, the classical radio station Klara, and head editor of the performance magazine etcetera.
As research coordinator of a.pass is in charge of long-term artistic research projects in the a.pass research center and for the public communication of research methodologies and results. In that framework she developed the long-term research project 'Bureau d'Espoir' in a series of collaborative experimental formats, diving into 'contemporary hope practices' as potential motors for societal change and awareness.
Petra Veber is architect and set designer. She cofounded an independent theatrical institute E.P.I. CENTER. She was a visiting professor at The Ohio State University and is a member of DOS. As a set designer she participated in more than 90 performances, which toured extensively all over Europe and US. Her latest exhibitions include: solo exhibition space and time / Ljubljana Castle, 2010 exhibition DOS A group exhibition of set designers and costume designers, 2011 Who's Afraid of religious Plecnik. Theatre Museum, Ljubljana. In the performances she works in the preparation of concepts, lighting design, costumes, stage director, designer and photographer.

The chairman of Europe's biggest bank, HSBC, has been appointed to head up South African insurer Discovery, raising concerns about his time management.
Mark Tucker, who was appointed chairman of HSBC last year, will take up his non-executive chairman role at Discovery at the beginning of March. He will replace Monty Hilkowitz who is to retire after 10 years as chairman.
Tucker will be paid £250,000 a year as chairman of Discovery, in addition to his £1.5m salary from HSBC.
Discovery operates a banking app that promises to reward customers financially for healthier behaviour, with better interest rates and discounts on gym memberships.
Although there is no hard rule preventing chairs of FTSE 100 banks from chairing other companies, the practice is frowned upon by some investors, as the FT reports.
The UK Corporate Governance Code says, "All directors should be able to allocate sufficient time to the company to discharge their responsibilities effectively".
It adds: "For the appointment of a chairman, the nomination committee should prepare a job specification, including an assessment of the time commitment expected, recognising the need for availability in the event of crises."

Observer > 2017 > January > What Do We Want Our Scientific Discourse to Look Like?
We have seen a lot of changes in the field of psychology over the last few years, including changes to the way we talk about our science. New developments in technology have opened opportunities for faster, more flexible, and more broadly accessible communication between scientists than ever before. Journal articles, conference symposia, and in-person conversations about research and research methods now are complemented by numerous online blogs, Facebook discussion groups, email chains, and Tweets. As we embrace the possibilities afforded by these new modes of communication, it is perhaps an ideal time to ask: What do we want our scientific discourse to look like? Going forward, how can we not only build a better science, but also build better ways of talking about science?
I posed this question recently on PsychMAP, a lightly moderated Facebook discussion group devoted to discussions of psychological methods and practices with over 4,000 members from around the globe. Here are some of the themes that emerged.
1. Focus on the ideas, not the person.
2. Promote inclusivity by attending to power.
3. Foster a spirit of cooperation, openness, curiosity, and learning.
Meanwhile, Carolin Schuster of the University of Passau, Germany, pointed out that "civil discourse — that is, willingness to accept feedback, openness for changing assumptions, and sharing knowledge (and data) — requires a spirit of cooperation, not competition," and suggested that incentives for group products rather than individual products might help promote a more collaborative science.
As psychological scientists, then, let's unite in our shared goal of constantly striving toward both a better science and a better scientific discourse. What should that discourse look like, and what's the best way to get there? The views here offer some important ideas that are well worth considering. But of course, this discussion is and should be ongoing and constantly evolving. Let's keep challenging ourselves to assess and improve our scientific discourse and to bring an ever-broader range of psychological scientists to the table as we do so.

Nurses Season 1 Episode 2 Review: Undisclosed Conditions
Leora W at December 15, 2020 10:35 am .
We knew Grace kept a few secrets after watching Nurses Season 1 Episode 1, but it turns out she wasn't the only one. On Nurses Season 1 Episode 2, we learned that four out of five of our favorite nurses have secrets.
Grace's secret might not even be the biggest. Granted, hers is pretty big. Still, it's a close thing because Wolf's secret is huge regarding his past and future.
Keon's secret was by no means small, and while Naz's was relatively minor, it still told us a lot about her character.
You're only as sick as your secrets. They can isolate you, or leave you paralyzed. If you're not careful, secrets can become your entire identity. But you only have to be brave enough to tell one person, and then it isn't a secret anymore.
Permalink: You're only as sick as your secrets. They can isolate you, or leave you paralyzed. If you're...
Learning people's secrets is one of the best ways to get to know them. Good characters are also the backbone of any good show, and now that we know those four a little better, we can see that this will be a spectacular series.
So, let's start with Wolf. Like I said, his secret is pretty huge, but it raises him so much in our eyes. On Nurses Season 1 Episode 1, Wolf was like a lost puppy, with no clue what he was doing, but desperate to please.
We had much of the same here. He lost a patient. Not call-it lost, lost-and-found lost. However, he was also maybe the only one who could get through to that patient.
It's hard not to be surly when your body is failing you. Gabby, played by Anwen O'Driscoll from Burden of Truth, felt miserable and alone.
Some of her behavior was hard on her parents and her health care providers. But you can't just call someone with a chronic and possibly terminal illness out and tell them they're selfish.
Gabby: Is this the part where you give me a pep talk about how life is precious or something?
Wolf: Nope. This is the part where I tell you to stop being such a selfish dick.
Permalink: Nope. This is the part where I tell you to stop being such a selfish dick.
That is unless you've been chronically ill and possibly terminal yourself. Wolf's been there because he had leukemia as a kid.
While he's no longer living on borrowed time, he has to spend money he doesn't have on illegal drugs to make sure it doesn't return.
When we saw him popping pills as the show began, with Grace's voiceover about secrets playing, it was hard not to jump to the worst conclusion. But Wolf needs those pills.
His life has been hard, and it still is. He has every right to be mad at the world. Instead, he chose to enter a field where the primary purpose is to care for people. Not just that, but he chose to be best friends with the very surly Ashley.
Ashely: You know, if you side-eye any harder, they're just gonna spin the whole way around.
Wolf: Huh? What? Ashley, I was just, you know ... The, uh ... Ash, you're the kindest, most loyalest person I know, but when you don't like someone ...
Ashley: Look, I do not have to be nice to her just because she's your new bestie.
Wolf: Are you jealous? Come one, you know I'll always love you first. Come, hugs.
Ashley: No, no, no, you are so lucky it is impossible to give someone a wedgie in scrubs.
Permalink: No, no, no, you are so lucky it is impossible to give someone a wedgie in scrubs.
He's patient with her, but he also calls her out when she's not nice. He offers her hugs and encourages her to play nice with others.
Ashley isn't the only person he's sweet either. Despite his best friend spreading stories about her, he offers to listen when he sees Grace sitting alone and looking panicked.
It's not because he's curious, and it's not because he's prying. He's kind!
This boy is a cinnamon bun. Seeing how much he cares for people, despite his life being pretty terrible, makes it impossible not to love him. He's definitely in the right field.
Keon, unlike Wolf, is in perfect health. My money was on him having to quit football because he had some career-ending injury. I was close; there was a career-ending injury. It just wasn't him who had it.
Keon: That Queens game? That insane tackle? I walked away, the other guy didn't. He doesn't walk at all anymore. Spinal cord injury.
Trent: Damn. I didn't ... I didn't know.
Keon: That was the angle. Hit him just right to fracture a C5 vertebrae. It was just a routine play for me, but changed his life forever
Trent: That's not your fault, man. You know that, right?
Keon: I quit football because I wanted to be a nurse. I don't want to hurt people anymore; I want to help 'em.
Permalink: I quit football because I wanted to be a nurse. I don't want to hurt people anymore; I want...
The guilt that guy feels has got to be insane. His joke on Nurses season 1 Episode 1 about his family just being happy that he wasn't breaking bones in his new field doesn't feel quite so funny anymore.
What's frustrating is, Keon chose this. He's not some washed-up sports star. He really wants to help people.
Yet everybody still sees him as Mr. Football. They don't take him seriously when he's so serious about wanting to help people.
On top of that, he had to watch his friend go through something tragic. Learning you can't have kids when that's all you've been wanting, and you can't afford other avenues is heartbreaking. Life for these nurses is not easy.
Keon: In school they teach you about risk. You think you know everything can change in a second, but you don't. Not really, not until it happens. How do you do it? How are you not afraid all the time?
Dr. Banks: You are. You're afraid so much it becomes a part of the ir you breathe. You feel it, and then you push through anyway for your patients.
Permalink: You are. You're afraid so much it becomes a part of the ir you breathe. You feel it, and then...
Life was once very easy for Nazneen, though. She had it so good; she never had to change her own sheets! Now she doesn't know-how.
It made sense for Sinead to get upset. That's the job. If you think you're "too good for" it, you don't belong there. It's thankless, hard, and gross, but man, is it important! I'm glad she drove that home.
There probably won't be many code browns on screen because who would want to watch that? Still, zeroing in on the gross and menial stuff nurses have to do was a great move.
As for Nazneen, thankfully, she wasn't trying to avoid work; she didn't know how to do it. It's not as uncommon as one might think. Many people never learn basic tasks because they don't have to, and then when they have to, they freeze.
This is your mess, and you're gonna clean it up if I have to watch you do it! Go on then, get to it! You think changing a bed or cleaning up puke is beneath you? This is nursing, this is what we do. When a patient is sick or scared, we reassure them that someone sees them, lets them know they are more than their illness.

As someone who grew up with a dishwasher and is still trying to master washing dishes by hand, I can sympathize with Naz's plight. It's embarrassing to admit you struggle with adulting, especially when it's your job.
Thankfully, Sinead was understanding. It was a bonding moment between two impressive ladies that nobody should underestimate.
Grace and Ashley's moment was far from a bonding moment. Ashley didn't have a secret, and she didn't have much else to recommend her to the audience either.
Wolf may have surprised me in this episode, but I'm still waiting for Ashley too. She's not the nicest person, and she doesn't seem to like her job or follow the rules.
She can be petty, jealous, and downright mean. She also spread stories about Grace and wouldn't respect her patient's choices.
Grace: You do not get to tell someone else's secret.
Ashley: Oh, come on. I wasn't going to. Someone should tell him. It's cruel to lie.
Grace: We don't get to make that decision, Ashley; people keep secrets for a reason.
Ashley: Like when they don't want everyone to know they almost killed someone at their last job? I heard you left sponges in a patient after surgery.
Grace: Whatever you think you know, whoever you think that I am, you're wrong.
Permalink: Whatever you think you know, whoever you think that I am, you're wrong.
Her only redeeming quality is that Wolf love's her, so there must be something there we're not seeing. Hopefully, we'll see it soon, because I'm up to here with this girl.
Finally, Grace's secret. Or, rather, secrets. We already know one, from Nurses Season 1 Episode 1, we know she's seeing someone who is not exactly single.
We also know that she used to work in a prestigious OR and left for some reason. Now we know the reason.
She left sponges in a patient. She knew telling would get her canned, but she also knew not telling would harm the patient. So she spoke up.
But wait, there's more. Grace didn't leave those sponges in the patient because she was negligent. She left them in because her rockstar boss, Dr. Hamilton, moved from sexual harassment to sexual assault in the OR.
Grace: Before today, I hadn't been in the OR in over a year. Last time was a routine surgery, but I made a mistake, a big one. And I had.a choice: I could either keep quiet and protect myself or I could tell somebody. It's the scariest thing that I ever did, but it saved the patient's life. And I got fired.
Maki: Do you regret it?
Grace: Not for a second.
Permalink: Not for a second.
It would be hard to focus on operating if your boss was raping you while performing it. What an entitled A#@$! How do we live in a world where he can get away with that?
Now, it's his word against hers, which means she's screwed. Because he's a rockstar among rockstars, and she's the girl who deals with code browns.
Grace may not want our sympathy, or Ashley's, but she certainly has our respect. These nurses may not be rockstars, but they are superheroes.
At least Grace has her boyfriend (and his fiance) to make her feel better. She isn't without options, though. She and Dr. Evan Wallace have gotten awfully chummy. I wouldn't be surprised if we got a love triangle out of all that flirting.
Dr Wallace: You know, a lot of people don't like working in the ER. It's too hectic, too risky. But me, I like how simple it is. No matter who or what comes through that door, I have one job; just keep them alive.
Grace: Yeah. Feels weird not to do that.
Dr. Wallace: Doctors and nurses practice different medicine. I can stitch them up, send them off to surgery, even restart their heart, but once they make the choice to refuse those options, my work for the patient is done.
Grace: Yeah, but mine isn't.
Permalink: You know, a lot of people don't like working in the ER. It's too hectic, too risky. But me, I...
Speaking of, will Dr. Banks and Keon just make-out already? If it wasn't obvious before, them seeing each other half-naked sent a clear message to the audience.
I'm all for them getting together, partly because it'll keep the actress around. Plus, the chemistry is through the roof!
What did you think, Fanatics? Which secret surprised you the most? Do you love Wolf? Respect Grace? Relate to Naz? How long do you think until Keon and Dr. Banks to hook up? And will Ashley redeem herself in coming episodes?

Q: jQuery: animate opacity to 0 then fadeOut I have a function set up that animates the opacity of an element to 0 as you scroll, what I want though is after this function as finished (the opacity is at 0), then the element fades out (i.e. you never see it again). The function is a bit buggy though and is fading out too early, I have a jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/6hcm4qg4/
My markup is as follows:
$(window).scroll(function() {
  var scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop();
  var height = $(window).height();

  var myEvent = function() {
    $('.logo_container, .slogan').css({
      'opacity': ((height - scrollTop) / height)
    });
  };
  $.when(myEvent()).done(function() {
    $('.logo_container, .slogan').fadeOut();
  });

});

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

A: You can use jquery animate function to change opacity with animation. In animate function callback hide the element if opacity reaches to 0 like below.
$(window).scroll(function() {
  var scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop();
  var height = $(window).height();

    $('.logo_container, .slogan').animate({
      'opacity': ((height - scrollTop) / height)
    }, function() {
       if (this.style.opacity <= 0)
           $(this).hide();
    });
});

For **Raspbian**, run the following commands: # wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/4.0/raspbian/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_4.0-2+stretch_all.deb # dpkg -i zabbix-release_4.0-2+stretch_all.deb # apt update ==== Server/proxy/frontend installation ==== To install Zabbix server with MySQL support: # apt install zabbix-server-mysql To install Zabbix proxy with MySQL support: # apt install zabbix-proxy-mysql To install Zabbix frontend: # apt install zabbix-frontend-php Substitute 'mysql' in the commands with 'pgsql' to use PostgreSQL, or with 'sqlite3' to use SQLite3 (proxy only). === Creating database === For Zabbix [[manual:concepts:server|server]] and [[manual:concepts:proxy|proxy]] daemons a database is required. It is not needed to run Zabbix [[manual:concepts:agent|agent]]. <note warning>Separate databases are needed for Zabbix server and Zabbix proxy; they cannot use the same database. Therefore, if they are installed on the same host, their databases must be created with different names!</note> Create the database using the provided instructions for [[manual:appendix:install:db_scripts#mysql|MySQL]] or [[manual:appendix:install:db_scripts#postgresql|PostgreSQL]]. === Importing data === Now import initial schema and data for the server with MySQL: # zcat /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql/create.sql.gz | mysql -uzabbix -p zabbix You will be prompted to enter your newly created database password. With PostgreSQL: # zcat /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-pgsql/create.sql.gz | sudo -u <username> psql zabbix For proxy, import initial schema: # zcat /usr/share/doc/zabbix-proxy-mysql/schema.sql.gz | mysql -uzabbix -p zabbix For proxy with PostgreSQL (or SQLite): # zcat /usr/share/doc/zabbix-proxy-pgsql/schema.sql.gz | sudo -u <username> psql zabbix # zcat /usr/share/doc/zabbix-proxy-sqlite3/schema.sql.gz | sqlite3 zabbix.db === Configure database for Zabbix server/proxy === Edit zabbix_server.conf (and zabbix_proxy.conf) to use their respective databases. For example: # vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf DBHost=localhost DBName=zabbix DBUser=zabbix DBPassword=<password> In DBPassword use Zabbix database password for MySQL; PosgreSQL user password for PosgreSQL. Use ''DBHost='' with PostgreSQL. You might want to keep the default setting ''DBHost=localhost'' (or an IP address), but this would make PostgreSQL use a network socket for connecting to Zabbix. Refer to the [[:manual/installation/install_from_packages/rhel_centos#selinux_configuration|respective section]] for RHEL/CentOS for instructions. === Starting Zabbix server process === It's time to start Zabbix server process and make it start at system boot: # service zabbix-server start # update-rc.d zabbix-server enable Substitute 'zabbix-server' with 'zabbix-proxy' to start Zabbix proxy process. === SELinux configuration === Refer to the [[:manual/installation/install_from_packages/rhel_centos#selinux_configuration|respective section]] for RHEL/CentOS. As frontend and SELinux configuration is done, you need to restart Apache web server: # service apache2 restart === Frontend configuration === Apache configuration file for Zabbix frontend is located in /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zabbix.conf. Some PHP settings are already configured. But it's necessary to uncomment the "date.timezone" setting and [[http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php|set the right timezone]] for you. php_value max_execution_time 300 php_value memory_limit 128M php_value post_max_size 16M php_value upload_max_filesize 2M php_value max_input_time 300 php_value max_input_vars 10000 php_value always_populate_raw_post_data -1 # php_value date.timezone Europe/Riga Now you are ready to proceed with [[manual/installation/install#installing_frontend|frontend installation steps]] which will allow you to access your newly installed Zabbix. Note that a Zabbix proxy does not have a frontend; it communicates with Zabbix server only. ==== Agent installation ==== To install the agent, run # apt install zabbix-agent To start the agent, run: # service zabbix-agent start ==== Java gateway installation ==== It is required to install [[:manual/concepts/java|Java gateway]] only if you want to monitor JMX applications. Java gateway is lightweight and does not require a database. Once the required [[#adding_zabbix_repository|repository]] is added, you can install Zabbix Java gateway by running: # apt install zabbix-java-gateway Proceed to [[:manual/concepts/java/from_debian_ubuntu|setup]] for more details on configuring and running Java gateway.

The myth of the high-growth fashion startup
Brands like ThredUp, Poshmark, and Warby Parker have gone public this year. But a look at their financials shows how hard it is to be profitable and scale at the same time.

By Elizabeth Segran 7 minute Read
For the past decade, fashion startups with disruptive business models—from direct-to-consumer brands to clothing-rental platforms—have taken the industry by storm. Now, many of these once-scrappy startups are going public.
This year alone, ThredUp, Poshmark, and Warby Parker have gone public; Rent the Runway and Allbirds have filed for IPOs and are expected to go public soon. A look at these companies' financials reveals that none of them managed to create a profitable business while also scaling fast enough to meet investors' expectations. And some of these companies's stock—including ThredUp and Poshmark—have stayed flat or tanked since their IPO. All of this prompts the question of whether the age of the fast-growing, VC-funded fashion startup might be coming to an end.
While it might seem surprising that all of these companies are going public so close to one another, there are some bigger trends that help explain it. For starters, many of them launched around the same time, roughly 10 years ago, says Dan Frommer, a veteran tech journalist and editor-in-chief of The New Consumer. They also received large amounts of capital from investors who treated them as if they were tech companies with the potential to scale quickly. (Rent the Runway, the oldest of the bunch, launched in 2009 and has received $500 million in funding; Allbirds, the newest, which launched in 2015, has received $200 million.) But those investors are looking for a return on their capital—which means going public or getting acquired. "In the venture capital business model, companies are expected to show returns on these funds somewhere between 5 [and] 15 years," Frommer says. "So the minute a company takes venture funding, they're on a ticking timer."
And 2021 happened to be a particularly good year to go public, according to Sucharita Kodali, a principal analyst at Forrester Research, who specializes in e-commerce and retail. There have been a record number of IPOs this year, partly because companies put them off last year when the pandemic caused so much instability in the market. Now, investors are looking for places to put their money. "Among the wealthiest people, there is a ton of cash floating around," she says. "Last year, people couldn't travel, buy cars, or eat at restaurants. So if your net worth went up and you don't have much to spend your money on, you might invest in an IPO."
Many of the brands going public now actually bucked the broader retail downturn and thrived during the pandemic, so it makes sense that they want to capitalize on this success. In the case of ThredUp and Poshmark, there was already a growing demand for secondhand goods; during the lockdowns, consumers turned to these platforms to buy these goods online. Warby Parker quickly pivoted from its retail stores to its existing e-commerce business, while Allbirds offerings of athleisure clothes and shoes were items people wanted in the pandemic.
Rent the Runway stands apart in this regard, because it didn't have a particularly strong year. The company built its business on renting clothes for fancy events and the office, but consumers didn't need formalwear for much of 2020 and weren't dressing for work. While the company says business is beginning to return, the delta variant postponed many events and delayed the return to work. "I'm scratching my head at their decision to IPO," Kodali says. "Their numbers are down, and there is nothing particularly compelling about their business right now." According to the company's S-1, its active subscribers dropped from 133,572 in 2019 to 54,747 in 2020. This year, subscribers seem to be coming back, but they're nowhere near pre-pandemic levels. Frommer suggests the reason for the IPO's timing might be that company needs to raise capital in order to keep the business going.

The future of fashion
The process of going public reveal exactly how hard it is to both turn a profit and grow quickly as a fashion startup. Frommer says many of these companies were much more tech-forward than their predecessors, so investors treated them like tech companies. Warby Parker and Allbirds, for instance, built digitally native brands that took advantage of everything the internet had to offer, from social media to immersive websites. Some investors hoped that successful e-commerce brands like these could eventually take over the market. But it turned out that there were limits to their growth. Unlike software companies, these brands had to develop products, build supply chains, and eventually build retail stores, all of which are capital intensive. A decade later, Warby Parker has only 1% market share by revenue, according to its SEC filing in August. For comparison, Lenscrafter's parent company, EssilorLuxottica, founded in 1961, dominates with 20% of the market.
For Rent the Runway and ThredUp, the challenges were even more complex. Both companies collected vast quantities of data about their consumers and created systems to digitally tag clothing. They also had robust online sites where customers could filter through clothes to rent and buy. But to make all of this work, they had to create the physical infrastructure to process the garments. Rent the Runway famously built the largest dry-cleaning facility in the world, and ThredUp has built enormous warehouses to collect, photograph, and ship secondhand garments. Again, all of this requires a lot of capital.
Warby Parker had a successful direct listing last week, hitting a $6 billion market cap on its first day of trading. It's too early to say how the company will do on the public market long term: Some analysts said the company was overvalued; others believed it was merited because the company has good margins, an engaging brand story, and is likely to keep growing. Poshmark's stock, on the other hand, has declined steadily since it went public in January. Its third quarter revenues were below estimates, which it partly attributed to Apple's new privacy policies that make it harder to track users and effectively market to them. ThredUp's stock price, meanwhile, is near to its public debut in March. While analysts believe the company has room to grow as the resale market picks up, its net losses grow every year as it keeps building out new warehouses to process clothes. These losses are typical for a company in growth mode, but are something investors are watching closely.
The performance of these companies shows how hard it is to build a profitable, high-growth fashion business. Venture capitalists have pumped hundreds of millions of dollars to help these companies scale, but much of this capital has gone toward expensive infrastructure, from warehouses to retail stores. And over the past decade, the market has been crowded with other fashion startups, which has meant steeper competition for a fixed number of consumers. It's also increasingly expensive to acquire new customers on social media, cutting into their margins. "None of these businesses seem like it's going to be the next Amazon," Kodali says.
As publicly traded companies, they will no longer feel the pressure of venture capitalists, but there will be new concerns: They're now beholden to shareholders with their own expectations when it comes to growth and profitability. And if they don't perform, founders risk being removed from their leadership positions by the board of directors. In many ways, it's out of the frying pan and into the fire.
There are other brands from this cohort of startups that might decide to jump on the IPO bandwagon, including Everlane, Away, and Glossier. These brands have collectively raised upward of half a billion dollars in venture funding, so their investors may be looking for a payday soon. But as a new generation of entrepreneurs begins to build fashion businesses, they may not be looking to publicly traded companies as inspiration. Kodali says that rather than going out to raise vast sums of VC funding and growing exponentially, today's startups might be keener to grow slower, but work toward profitability. They might take a page from companies like menswear brand Buck Mason, fine jewelry brand Aurate, or womenswear brand Cuyana, which have taken much smaller funding rounds and have been more focused on building sustainable businesses.
Kodali points out that with the startups founded a decade ago, entrepreneurs were aiming to own a small stake in a billion-dollar business. But today's entrepreneurs might be more keen to own a larger stake in a hundred-million dollar business. "You have to work a lot less hard to be a hundred-million dollar business," she says. "There are fewer barriers to entry, you're under the radar, and you don't have a target on your back when you're smaller. And at the end of the day, you make just as much money."
