COLUMBIANA, Ala. — The rap of knuckles on the car window could come at any time of the night. A hotel security guard would discover Takahiro Omori asleep in the back seat of the worn Chevrolet Suburban and there was no sympathy for an angler in a pinch.
For three years, from 1993 to 1995, Omori would try to dodge security guards or the local police in hotel or shopping center lots, which was a challenge because it was difficult to be discreet while pulling a bass boat. He had come from Japan without sponsors and without the blessing and support of his family, trying to survive on the professional bass fishing tour. Often he did not have enough money to cover the fee to stay at a campground.
Last weekend, as Omori stood on the deck of his boat on Lay Lake here in a 30-degree chill, weather more suitable for ice fishing than bass fishing, he did not have to explain more than once how he could bear the cold.
"I can do nothing else but be the professional angler," he said. "I want to do nothing else.
Omori, 39, will be one of 51 competitors in the $500,000 first-prize Bassmasters Classic, which starts Friday. ESPN is televising the three-day event. Omori, who won the Classic in 2004, was the first foreign champion, and his goal is to win this year's Classic and begin a march toward the angler of the year title.
It is impossible to distract Omori from his goal because he insists he has no options beyond fishing. For the first hour of a nine-hour practice this week, Omori discussed fishing as if it were a tyranny over him.
But as the day progressed, the satisfaction of what he does for a living washed over Omori and the pressure seemed to ease. The bass, lethargic in the 40-degree water, were not biting, but he enthusiastically used his fishing rod as a flipping stick to get under the brush and along the shoreline and in possible nests of bass.
While trolling along a bank, he spotted the small holes made by crayfish. He took his foot off the trolling motor and flipped his plastic bait in the water below the holes. The bass know where to find a 24-hour diner.
Omori is a power fisherman who uses a braided line to fish into the shallows, and has skills that have helped him finish in the top 10 in 34 tournaments. He has secured sponsors like Ranger Boats, Yamaha and Daiwa, the reel maker, so he no longer has to cook his rice in the Suburban.
Omori's devotion to the sport is remarkable even to veterans who are similarly devoted. Kevin Wirth, who has been on the bass tour for 16 years, said he remembered a time when Omori would fail to make the cut at some tournaments, and then get a news media pass and a boat and follow around Rick Clunn, one of the sport's icons.
"He would take pictures of everything Clunn did, every bait, every technique, and Tak would take notes, and go home and study the notes and the pictures," Wirth said.
Omori has made approximately $1.2 million on the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society Tour, which enabled him to buy a house in Emory, Tex. The house has a pool; Omori does not swim in it.
Omori still sleeps in his vehicle on the tour, but these days it is a motor home. His room this week at the full-service hotel in Birmingham is paid for by the tour, and even with temperatures in the 20s, he asked to be allowed to stay in his motor home by the lake, but he was turned down.
The cold reminds Omori of being huddled in the back of his Suburban sleeping. He was so accustomed to it that when he would first stir in the morning, he could tell if the sky was clear or cloudy without looking.
Omori shrugs at the cold now, and he shrugs at the solitary nature of his life. He has friends on the tour, like Wirth, but mostly he skips along the water oblivious to most things above the water because he is focused on what is going on below.
Omori was asked if he knew what day it was. He did not and was told it was Valentine's Day.
"Oh, that's right, it is," he said. Then he turned back to the water and peered down, focusing on the one thing that is important to him.


St. Louis, Mo. -- DePauw dropped a 2-0 contest to Rhodes on Saturday in a neutral site game played at Fontbonne University.
None of DePauw's 10 shots connected but six were on goal. They were outshot 11-10.
Merill Stovroff broke the scoreless tie in the 28th minute on a goal assisted by Carly Cone and Katelyn Curtis. Rhodes scored again in the 35th minute to give them a 2-0 lead before the half.
Mia Manney in net made four saves.
The loss drops DePauw to 1-4 overall. Rhodes is now 2-3-1.
DePauw travels to Franklin College on Tuesday.


Over one third of the world's children under five years of age fail to achieve their full developmental potential due to malnutrition, poverty, disease, neglect, and lack of learning opportunities. This situation sets children back irreversibly. As adults, they possess reduced skills and lower lifetime earnings. Ultimately, the cost of lack of investment in the early childhood years is borne by society as a whole.
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) accorded little to no attention to Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD). At the time the MDGs were being drafted, it could be argued the evidence that ECCD is the best investment in social and economic prosperity was not firmly established. This is not the case in 2013. There is now ample and robust evidence demonstrating the value of ECCD for achieving healthy, productive societies and of the role that ECCD can play in addressing the challenges to achieving equality, sustainability and security. Evidence is also clear that huge cost savings are realised when actions in health, education and nutrition are implemented in early childhood, compared to later in life.
It is now time to put ECCD at the heart of the post-MDG agenda. The juxtaposition of the clear evidence in favour of ECCD and the dire situation of the world's young children is a call to action to decision makers. Young children must be on the global agenda so they can achieve their full developmental potential and contribute to equitable economic and social progress.
This symposium on Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) and its role in the post-MDG agenda will feature keynote speaker Dr Pia Britto from Yale University, an internationally renowned early childhood specialist and researcher. Bringing together academics and students, civil society organisations and donors, the symposium will be an opportunity to discuss, debate and inform current direction in policy, practice and investment in ECCD focusing specifically on the post-MDG agenda and the key themes of inclusion, equity, security and social protection.
This symposium is presented by the Children's Policy Centre at Crawford School of Public Policy, ANU, in partnership with Plan International Australia.

From Scotland to the States: a coach's journey
Gerard Borne, Staff Reporter|April 16, 2019
Gerard Borne/The Lion's Roar
Christopher McBride, head coach of soccer, talks to his players before a game. McBride coached the Lady Lions to a 7-7-4 record in the 2018 season. McBride is a native of Scotland, and he learned the fundamentals of soccer from his father.
Christopher McBride, head coach of soccer, has traveled the world through his love for soccer.
McBride entered his third year as the fourth head coach of the Lady Lions soccer team.
McBride previously coached at the University of North Alabama and the University of South Alabama.
When McBride developed an interest in the sport, his father helped train him.
"I started playing soccer when I was 6 years old," shared McBride. "I got cut from my first club team when I was 6 years old. Then after I was cut, shortly after, my dad created his own club team, and I went from there. My dad was an essential part of my development as he taught me a lot, and he was also a coach."
At 17 years old, McBride moved to the U.S. and enrolled in school.
McBride described the differences in the ways soccer is played in America and Scotland.
"The game in America is far more athletic than it is in Scotland," explained McBride. "Soccer in Scotland is far more tactical than it is here. Athletes over here for sure are more athletic. American soccer is more of an athlete's game. My mindset now is watching players develop from their first day of freshman year to their last game. Just looking at day one and the last day is enjoyment, and it brings a smile to my face."
McBride discussed his transition from being a player to a coach.
"I thought it was a good opportunity for me to pursue, realized I was not going to make it professionally as a player, but still had a love for the game," said McBride. "So, I decided that I wanted to start coaching. I knew there were more opportunities in America for the sport than there were back home. I loved being in a career I had a passion for and wanted to give it back to the players who shared the same love like me."
Lexie Gundersen, a redshirt sophomore midfielder and kinesiology major, shared what she learned from McBride.
"Coach has taught me how to use the best of my abilities on the field and shining on what I can do best," stated Gundersen. "The accent is what makes him different than other coaches. He is a great coach that uses you to the best of your ability and always pushes you 110%. He knows how to connect to his coaches, and I have never had a coach that is so personally involved in your game and life."
According to Claire Huston, a freshman defender and sophomore psychology major, McBride helped her develop her game on the field.
"He is good at showing us what we excel at and applying that to our games, practices and how I can apply what I am good at to benefit the entire team," explained Huston. "It has been really helpful and beneficial. Most coaches will yell at you constantly and tell you that you are doing something wrong, but coach McBride does the complete opposite. I was a player that always struggled with confidence, but he taught me that I am here for a reason, and I need to show that."
McBride discussed a challenge in coaching.
"I hate the way the schedule is structured," shared McBride. "Soccer is a very physically demanding sport, and playing on Friday and Sunday is hard."
The soccer team wrapped up its 2019 spring season with a 2-1 victory against William Carey University on April 5 at Strawberry Stadium.

Electronic Goban
Go is a board game of strategy, like chess, that is around 3000 years old and the most popular game of it's type in the world. Before going any further, take a look at the wikipedia page... the short version is that it's an extremely easy game to learn and for every player to date beyond mastery. No computer or algorithmic approach can beat even a moderately skilled amateur (it's been in the crosshairs of the AI community since chess, a vastly inferior pastime, fell with little resistance) but four year olds are routinely taught to play. Its played on a grid, usually 19x19, but occasionally bigger and frequently smaller for faster or educational games (9x9 and 13x13 being the other standard sizes). The object is for two players to try to surround as much of the board as possible by placing immovable stones on the intersection points of the grid, the central caveat being that stones can be captured if totally surrounded by opposing colored stones. There are maybe two other rules, depending on how you count, but it's beautifully simple.
Games are played (illustrative picture) on a board called a Goban, traditionally a very thick slab of wood with it's own feet that sat directly on the floor, with players on opposing sides sitting on cushions. These days you're more likely to see a table board, which is still essentially a slab of wood. The stones range from traditional (read: expensive) slate and shell to bottlecaps (glass/plastic coated lead being the most common).
Many clients exist to play Go on computers/handheld devices. These are wonderful in that they can record your game in the SGF format, which is (near) universally used by players to review their games (an important part of getting better, often done with a teacher or opponent). They're also handy when you're moving around, and can't set up a bunch of slick stones on a slab of wood (trains, planes, automobiles, bicycles). For casual games, it's nice to be able to stop and resume at any time.
The big downside is face to face interaction. It's simply nowhere near as enjoyable to play by passing a handheld back and forth or staring at a computer, the latter not being particularly portable most of the time anyway.
So the plan would be to build something that's as close to the form factor of a real goban, but shrunk a bit for portability, and completely electronic. I'd say about a 30cm square (~1 foot for the unit challenged) and no thicker than a paperback book would be a good size. Something you can throw in a bag without hesitation. It should have as intuitive an interface as possible, the ability to automatically score the game, and best of all store games and export them to a computer somehow.
Of course, it should also have some pointless eastereggs built in... the game of life springs to mind.
Simply but, a big array of multicolor LEDs, each one an "intersection" on the board. 19^2, 361, of them. A glorious sight to behold. Initially I thought it would be neat to make each LED a pushbutton, but quickly realized that multicolor LED pushbuttons are expensive, make the whole project orders of magnitude more difficult and would be rather fragile (I'd be delighted if someone showed me otherwise though). So the backup plan would be to simply have a big old grid of LEDs and a d-pad (think... nintendo controller) to move around your "stone" on the matrix before placing it. A five button interface, one on each side. If you use Red/Green bicolor LEDs you can get three colors (tricky eh?): Red, Green, and Yellow. I think these are true tricolor LEDs... in the sense that you have one anode (or cathode, your choice) per color (unfortunately they cost way too much, we'll see if they can be found cheaper, something under $0.30 would be nice). The stone you're "placing" would be yellow, and upon pressing would turn your color (based on whose turn it is, obviously). The yellow could also be used to mark the "edge" when playing on a smaller 9x9 or 13x13 board.
This is a project ideally suited for a microcontroller of some sort. They're surprisingly cheap (once you factor in how much it costs to get PIC/AVR prog hardware) and should be very easy to interface to a computer for game data offload. Also, the algorithms for driving this thing will be more sophisticated than I'd want to try to implement on a PIC or AVR. Totally open to ideas here though - I've never done anything with microcontrollers except some robot programming in C with PICs, and then only using an existing framework.
Driving a huge multicolor LED matrix will be... interesting. The normal solution for a monochrome display is, as I understand it, a bunch of shift registers. I guess for this, if you use "true" tricolor LEDs, you'd just need twice as many shift registers. If you use bicolor LEDs, which, as I understand it, achieve the third color by duty cycle trickery (switching between the two colors very rapidly to blend them) I'm not sure how you could accomplish this. Advice needed.

I don't see my code at this trace. I don't understand the root cause.
I use following gradle config:
plugins {

}
...
ext {
    springBootStarterTestVersion = '2.0.0.RELEASE'
    junitToolboxVersion = '2.4'

...
    compile "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter"
    testCompile "com.googlecode.junit-toolbox:junit-toolbox:$junitToolboxVersion"
    testCompile "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test:$springBootStarterTestVersion"

How can I avoid it?

A: Before I used in test following configuration:
@RunWith(Parameterized.class)
@SpringBootTest
@ContextConfiguration(classes = MyConfig.class)
public class MyTest {
    @ClassRule
    public static final SpringClassRule SPRING_CLASS_RULE = new SpringClassRule();

    @Rule
    public final SpringMethodRule springMethodRule = new SpringMethodRule();

Now I use following configuration and it works fine
@RunWith(Parameterized.class)
@SpringBootTest
@ContextConfiguration(classes = MyConfig.class)
public class MyTest {
    private TestContextManager testContextManager;

    @Before
    public void before() throws Exception {
        testContextManager = new TestContextManager(getClass());
        testContextManager.prepareTestInstance(this);
        ...

R.I.P. Bill Gleason
One more cigar - for the wordsmith
I don't talk sports on this blog, by design. It's not that I try to avoid an unpleasant topic (like politics and religion) but more that I try to focus upon music, comedy, television, books and film – pop culture and the arts. (I post about sports here.)
But I guess I can qualify this RIP today since when I first got basic cable back in the day, I stumbled across four cantankerous cigar-smoking guys sitting around the table talking sports – Sportswriters on TV.
An extension of a popular Chicago radio show, the TV version was the same show with a couple of cameras filming the action. Important topics of the day would be topic fodder, but these guys could run off on an entertaining tangent in a heartbeat, and that's when the show got really interesting. One of them, Bill Gleason, passed away today after a full 87 years on this mortal coil.
(Ironically, it was another Chicago show featuring two film critics named Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel that inspired me to look outside my own peer group for film discussion. And like with any great critic, I didn't always agree with them but I understood them enough to know when to take their opinion seriously or take it with a grain of salt. But I digress…)
So I would catch this sports show at the oddest of hours, but watch fascinated on that tiny living-on-a-prayer sized television and mesmerized that I was a fly on the wall with these old salts. In fact, I seem to remember how Rick Telander (now 60-ish) was like a young pup when he joined Gleason, Bill Jauss and Ben Bentley, all twenty years or so older. For Telander, it must have been like moving from the kid's table to the adult table at Thanksgiving. And initially he did defer, although he had the credentials to be there.
I grew up in New York City. We didn't get the New York Times in my house, we got The Daily News and later Newsday, so I didn't realize what a non-tabloid newspaper was until I was in High School. Watching this show proved to me that Chicago was filled with the same intensity and mania for sports that we had, and in fact, so many other cities have. Boston. Philadelphia. Pittsburgh. Blue collar hearts.
Gleason was – as one commenter put it – "a shot and beer guy in a shot and beer town". He was like you, except he had your dream job. But he invited you along for the ride. In the early days of cable wasteland, you have to understand what a find this was.
Sportswriters was the forerunner for every sports talk show since. Unfortunately, sports is now a business, and sports coverage is a predominantly a myopic cesspool. Most of the pinheads getting air time think it's all about them, not the topics. Fools. These old veterans had fame, they were all accredited writers, but they understood that they were not the important part of the show. You were the fifth barstool.
But all things must pass. Gleason, as Telander says in his tribute, "has gone to the great typewriter in the sky". I'm a lot younger but appreciate an old-school sportswriter like him and a classic voice like Jack Buck or Vin Scully. Soon they will all be gone, and frankly, sports will never be the same.
I feel sorry for a generation growing up on this and this.
But if you settle for it, maybe I don't.
I'm going to figuratively don a Panama hat or a cabbie cap and light up a stogie. Thanks, Bill.

According to the official list of state abbreviations defined by the USPS, http://www.usps.com/ncsc/lookups/usps_abbreviations.html, django.contrib.localflavor.us.us_states is missing these abbreviations: AA, AE, AP, MH, and PW.
Please note that the attached patch file also contains the fix for ticket #10307 (FM inconsistency).
us_states.py.diff (2.4 KB) - added by MonteDavidoff 10 years ago.
This exact patch was _removed_ in , as part of #8425. This is a situation where we can't keep everyone happy, so we've opted for a minimum common set. If your requirements include PW,FM,NH etc, then it isn't hard to extend the basic widget to provide the extra choices.
The Armed forces postal codes are covered in a separate ticket: #9022. I'm not completely convinced we should include those, either, but I'll leave that decision to someone with an interest in US postal requirements.
The intent here is to provide a list of the 50 states. For anything beyond that, you can just use a custom field.
Thank you for the explanation. I now understand and agree with the intent.
I also have no interest in this, though I brought it up in #9022 because I read that missing state codes bites people frequently. It's the kind of omission that a lot of developers make by mistake and which frustrate users. Just seems sensible to me that Django could help developers stay on top of this either by allowing these or simply by documenting that this is not a comprehensive list for postal purposes.
(In ) Refactor the choices for localflavor's USStateField, and add new US postal code support. Fixes #14937 and #9022, refs #10308 and #8425.

Mlhovina Přesýpací hodiny (MyCn 18) je mladá planetární mlhovina ležící v souhvězdí Mouchy (Mus) na jižní obloze zhruba 8 000 světelných let od Země. Byla objevena Annie Jump Cannonovou a Margaret W. Mayallovou během jejich práce na rozšíření katalogu Henryho Drapera (katalog vznikl mezi lety 1918 až 1924). Tehdy se jevila jako slabá planetární mlhovina. Tvar přesýpacích hodin byl rozpoznán díky moderní zobrazovací technice 18. ledna 1996 na základě snímku z HST. Charakteristický tvar je dán expanzí rychlého hvězdného větru v pomaleji se rozpínajícím rostoucím oblaku, který je hustší v oblasti rovníku a řidší kolem pólu.

\section{Introduction}
Over the past decades, the magnetic thin films and layered structures have attracted considerable attention in theoretical and applied physics \cite{thersleff_towards_2017-1}. These systems exhibit novel physical phenomena such as enhanced magnetic moments, magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MAE), oscillatory interlayer coupling, and spin and charge-density waves \cite{fishman_spin-density_2001, turtur_magnetic_1994}. These quantum phenomena related to magnetism and spin-orbit coupling are also the subject of interest in spintronics. An important example of a spintronic device is the spin-transfer torque memory, which uses a spin-polarized tunneling current to switch magnetization \cite{slonczewski_current-driven_1996}. Although there is huge potential in creating magnetic multilayer structures, their control is difficult. Moreover, controlling and growing clean and sharp interfaces requires a large amount of labor and knowledge. Previous studies have predicted strong effects of 3$d$ TM monolayers on ferromagnetic moments on metallic overlayers \cite{fu_prediction_1985-1, li_giant_1991} or sandwich bilayers \cite{purcell_two-monolayer_1992}. For the systems considering the sandwiches model with Mn bilayers, oscillations of spin magnetic moments were observed \cite{purcell_two-monolayer_1992}.
The magnetic properties of 3$d$ TM on metallic substrates such as Pd(001) and Ag(001) show great similarity to the interactions of 3$d$ magnetic impurities in bulk alloys \cite{blugel_magnetic_1989}. For 4$d$ and 5$d$ monolayer on Ag(001) and Au(001) substrates, the magnetism has been explained as real effect of two-dimensional band structure \cite{blugel_two-dimensional_1992}. An exceptionally  large perpendicular MAE was found for Ir monolayer capped on Fe(001) surface \cite{odkhuu_extremely_2013-1}. There has also been interest in forcing ferromagnetic coupling in rare-earth-metal/Fe sandwiches systems using 3$d$ elements, which allow to obtaine huge magnetic moments of the order of 10~$\mu_{B}$/rare-earth atom \cite{sanyal_forcing_2010, autieri_recipe_2016}. Furthermore, the ferromagnetic coupling in the Fe/TM/Gd sandwich system with 4$d$ and 5$d$ metal spacers was found to be stronger than that with 3$d$ spacers \cite{autieri_systematic_2017}. In this work, we focused on the systems consisting of a Fe-bcc matrix and a transition metal monolayer, see Fig.~\ref{Warstwy}.

\section{Computational details}
In this paper, the results of computations performed in the framework of density functional theory (DFT) are presented. The models of 3\textit{d}, 4\textit{d}, and 5\textit{d} transition-metal atomic monolayers in Fe/TM/Fe sandwiches were investigated using the full-potential local-orbital scheme (FPLO18.00-52) \citep{koepernik_full-potential_1999-1, eschrig_2_2004}. To model the systems, we used the supercell method \citep{edstrom_magnetocrystalline_2017}. The strucutral parameters of our models are $a$~=~$b$~=~2.83~\AA ~and $c$~=~31.13~\AA. The generalized gradient approximation (GGA) in the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) form \cite{perdew_generalized_1996-1} was used. The lattice parameters were set as for bulk Fe-bcc and multiply 11 times in the $c$ direction, whereas the Wyckoff positions were optimized for each considered system using a spin-polarized scalar-relativistic approach, see Fig.~\ref{Warstwy}. The substitution of TM element was intended to create a single dopant monolayer in the center of this structure. Our calculation did not include optimization of lattice parameters.
A $12 \times 12 \times 1$ $k$-mesh was used for geometrical optimization and accuracy of forces was set as 10$^{-3}$ eV\,\AA$^{-1}$. An $80 \times 80 \times 10$ $k$-mesh was found to lead to well converged results of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energies (MAE). The convergence criterion for the charge density was set as 10$^{-6}$. MAE was evaluated as a  difference between the fully-relativistic total energies calculated for quantization axes [100] and [001]. The applied full-potential approach plays an important role in the correct determination of the values of magnetic moments and MAE \cite{werwinski_magnetocrystalline_2018-1}. For Fe$_{22}$, the obtained result of the MAE value determines the accuracy of our calculations, as we would expect zero for such a system. Thus, the accuracy of our calculations is estimated at 1 \textmu eV/atom.
The VESTA code was used to visualize the crystal structure \cite{momma_vesta_2008}.

Calculations were performed with FPLO18, using the PBE functional and supercell method.}
\end{figure*}
Since we considered all 3$d$, 4$d$, and 5$d$ transition metals in Fe/TM/Fe-sandwich models, we obtained a complete picture of the variations of MAE, total spin magnetic moment, and magnetic moments on TM, see Figs.~\ref{ms} and \ref{ml}. We can see that 5$d$ elements can lead to a more extreme MAE than the 3$d$ and 4$d$ elements due to the stronger spin-orbit coupling. Positive and negative MAE values indicate alignment of magnetic moments perpendicular and in-plane of the TM layer, respectively. For Pt and W we obtained the largest values of perpendicular magnetocrystalline  anisotropy and for Lu and Ir the largest values of in-plane magnetocrystalline  anisotropy. The largest value of MAE for Pt interlayer is not surprising considering the extremely high MAE values observed for the L1$_{0}$ FePt phase \cite{ristau_relationship_1999}. The previous calculations also showed an increase in the value of MAE for systems with W substitution \cite{edstrom_magnetic_2015-1, werwinski_magnetocrystalline_2018-1}.

Almost all TM elements, except Co and Ni, decrease the total spin magnetic moment relative to the Fe atom in the structures under our consideration, see Fig.~\ref{m}, which is in good agreement with the Slater-Pauling curve \cite{williams_generalized_1983}. We also see that almost all TMs, except Co, Ni, and Pt, contribute a lower orbital magnetic moment than Fe, see Fig.~\ref{ml}. Against this background, Pt stands out again, as it has the highest orbital moment among all the TMs considered. The orbital magnetic moment for bcc Fe calculated in this paper, which is 0.045~$\mu_{B}$, is underestimated relative to the experimental value of 0.085~$\mu_{B}$, which suggests that the calculated values of orbital magnetic moment are about twice underestimated. \cite{chen_experimental_1995-1}.
Calculations of the spin and orbital magnetic moment on the atomic monolayer of the transition metal show explicit trends with increasing atomic numbers. Analogous trends have been found for point substitutions in bulk-iron, both theoretically \cite{akai_nuclear_nodate, dederichs_ab-initio_1991-1} and experimentally \cite{wienke_determination_1991-1}.

Therefore, we conducted a detailed case study for a system with Pt for which we obtained the maximum value of MAE.
In Fig.~\ref{fig:SDW_CD}, we have shown the oscillation of charge and spin magnetic moment in Fe/Pt/Fe-sandwich system. For Pt we observe  spin magnetic moment of 0.42 $\mu_{B}$ and for three Fe layers nearest to Pt the values are as follows: 2.76, 2.32, and 2.25 $\mu_{B}$.
However, the Fe layers farthest from the Pt layer exhibit bulk Fe-bcc magnetic properties.

We present the calculation of density of states to show what happens near the interface in the Fe/Pt/Fe-sandwich, see Fig.~\ref{Fe_TM_Fe_DOS}. In Fig.~\ref{Fe_TM_Fe_DOS}b we present the total DOS for the Fe/Pt/Fe system with the comparisons in Fig.~\ref{Fe_TM_Fe_DOS}a for Fe$_{22}$-bcc in the same model as here discussed (Fe/Fe/Fe-sandwich system). The comparison of Fe$_{22}$ DOS with Fe/Pt/Fe DOS shows great similarity and few differences resulting from about two additional electrons on the Pt 5$d$ shell compared to the Fe 3$d$ shell. The c-g panels show the contributions from the $d$ orbitals the two closest (Fe1, Fe2) and farthest (F10, Fe11) Fe layers in relation to the Pt layer. For the Pt 5$d$ band, one spin channel is partially empty and the other is completely filled. The adjacent Fe1 layer shows an increased spin polarization value ($m_s$ = 2.76 $\mu_{B}$). The DOS for Fe10 and Fe11, farthest from Pt layer, resemble the spectra observed for Fe$_{22}$. The van Hove singularity on the Fermi level observed for Fe/Pt/Fe-sandwich system comes from the Pt 5$d$ states. This narrow maximum at the Fermi level can have a significant impact on the electrochemical properties of the considered system. Unlike the band-types typical of valence band states, it can be interpreted as a characteristic of an atomic-like state of electrons.

\section{Summary and conclusions}

We have presented the first-principles results for the Fe/TM/Fe-sandwich system. Almost all TM layers, except Co and Ni layers, reduce the total spin magnetic moment in the considered models, which agrees well with the Slater-Pauling curve. We observe that W and Pt monolayers induce strong perpendicular magnetocrystalline anisotropy, while Lu and Ir most strongly prefer in-plane anisotropy.
Our calculations indicate oscillation of spin magnetic moment and charge. We have also observed the van Hove singularity in the formed Fe/TM interface for TM~=~Ag, Pd, Pt, Ir, and Au.

• 4130, 4140, 4150. Alloy steels 4130, 4140, and 4150 are all chromium-molybdenum steels. The elements molybdenum and chromium are used to strengthen these materials. Forgings made from these metals are tough with high fatigue strengths.
• 4330, 4340, 8620, 8630, 9310. Alloys 4330, 4340, 8620, 8630, and 9310 contain chromium and molybdenum as well as nickel. The addition of nickel makes these materials useful for applications involving exposure to heat. Products forged from any of these materials can undergo hardening by heat treatment as well as case hardening and are known for good strength, toughness, and wear characteristics in addition to fatigue strength.
• 52100. Alloy 52100 is a low alloy steel which contains high levels of chromium and carbon. These alloying elements allow 51200 forgings to be through hardened as well as resistant to corrosion.
• NITRALLOY 135™. A low alloy steel, Nitralloy 135™ is known as a nitriding grade and is a good material for case hardening. Products forged from this material exhibit high levels of resiliency and hardness.

We're taking a risk here, but we hope when you hear what we have to say you'll understand where we're coming from. A soon-to-be first-time mum asked us what we found to be the most surprising aspect of parenting. We wanted to say 'how amazing it is' (and it is) or how 'blissed out' it makes us (and sometimes it does) but we also wanted to be honest.
VERY honest, about seven 'home truths' that we experience in our parenting. What we have to say is not nice. But it is real. And we hope by sharing our conversation it will help erase the "I thought it was just me…" doubts most of us experience.
Get instant access to this 24 minute teleclass recording and listen in as we lift the lid on some parenting challenges that can leave us feeling...well, frankly...a bit 'out on a limb'.
Just two parents having a chat about not having all the answers (though surely someone has an instruction manual for bringing up a family!).

Considerable progress has been made in determining the amount and location of plastic debris in our seas, but how much plastic actually enters them in the first place is more uncertain. Jambeck et al. combine available data on solid waste with a model that uses population density and economic status to estimate the amount of land-based plastic waste entering the ocean. Unless waste management practices are improved, the flux of plastics to the oceans could increase by an order of magnitude within the next decade.
Millions of tons of plastic waste end up in our oceans every year.

3005: Lord God of Sabaoth, Christiansted, US Virgin Islands
Mystery Worshipper: Meet and Right So to Do.
The church: Lord God of Sabaoth, Christiansted, St Croix, US Virgin Islands.
Denomination: Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Caribbean Synod.
The building: A Danish Lutheran congregation was organized in 1734 and worshipped at Fort Christianværn, once the hub of slave trade activity. Their first church building dated from 1750 and was used for 78 years until rendered unsafe by hurricane damage. Now called the Steeple Building, that structure is part of a national park. The congregation met temporarily in an Anglican church until they acquired their present Baroque style building in 1831 from a departing Dutch Reformed congregation. The building dates from around 1740 and is said to be the oldest church building on the island of St Croix. Extensive renovations were performed inside and out. Above the doorway in the north porch is the royal cypher of King Frederick VI and the date 1830. The present floor plan is in the open style, with the chancel and altar separated by two raised steps. Mahogany dominates the interior, which incorporates many fixtures that were brought in from the old church: the pews, Italian marble flooring, baptismal font, and a splendid mahogany reredos. To the left of the front row of pews is the governor's box, again elaborately carved in mahogany. Of great interest are a large number of memorial plaques on the north and south walls, not unlike an old parish church in the English countryside, bearing inscriptions in Danish, Dutch and Latin.
The church: Lord God of Sabaoth was at the heart of Christiansted during the era of Danish colonialism. The Danes have been gone for 99 years, but the Lutherans appear to be a very active congregation, with services on Saturday evening and Sunday morning, a church school before Sunday's service, an organized choir, and a Lutheran Men in Mission group. All that was missing was a Facebook page or parish website.
The neighborhood: The US Virgin Islands comprise the easternmost territory of the United States and consist of three principal islands: St Thomas, the touristy island; St John, the millionaires' playground; and St Croix, which the locals pretty much call their own. The weather is temperate all year round, and the trade winds make the Virgin Islands less humid and more tolerable than Florida or elsewhere in the Caribbean. Lord God of Sabaoth is at 51 King Street, very near the ominously named Gallows Bay and the old Fort Christianværn, which is very well preserved. Government House is just across the street from the church. Several other churches of varying denominations are nearby, along with a variety of restaurants. Just offshore can be spotted the aptly named Protestant Cay, reachable by ferry and providing the only downtown public beach in Christiansted. The water is warm, calm and shallow, with a smooth sandy bottom, and is great for swimming.
The cast: The Revd Gerald A. Williams, pastor, wearing a white alb with cincture and stole, presided. The crucifer was Brianna Harris, who wore an alb with cincture. Knyah Bruce, wearing a light red cassock, was the acolyte. The minister of music was Shelton Shulterbrandt, who wore street clothes.
The date & time: Third Sunday of Easter, April 10, 2016, 9.30am.
Eucharist.
There were about 70 congregants scattered across the pews in the nave, which could easily accommodate about 200. The galleries were mostly empty, with only the small choir and music director occupying space above.
A moment after I had made my way through the west doors and had taken a seat in the pews, an usher made his way in from the south porch and handed me an order of service. He seemed surprised that I had entered through the west doors; it appears that regulars use only the north and south porch entrances. Several congregants welcomed me during the peace, which seemingly lasted forever, as this is one of those churches where the regulars canvass the entire nave, shaking everyone's hand either sincerely or superficially. It's always difficult to tell at church.
For an original 18th century wooden pew, it was extremely comfortable, despite the lack of padding. There was also adequate legroom – think premium economy on a commercial airline – due to the lack of kneelers. It might be less comfortable, however, if the pews were full and you couldn't wiggle about.
I arrived about fifteen minutes early – most of the congregants arrived about ten minutes before the stated time of half-nine o'clock – and found it extremely quiet with very little chatter.
Before playing what was described in the order of service as the "gathering," the minister of music said, "Welcome and good morning."
The Lutheran Book of Worship was in the pews but unused. Instead, the order of service made exclusive use of This Far by Faith, an alternate Lutheran hymnal and liturgy. The readings were from Celebrate, a week-specific insert in the order of service.
An electronic keyboard of unknown make, straight out of the late 1980s or 1990s, in the gallery. There was also a small choir of three or four voices.
I expected a stately service – this was, after all, the colonial-era parish of the Danish state church – but was stunned by how, erm, charismatic everything was (more on this below).
As a traditional Anglican, I'm not an expert on the churchmanship of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America – let alone the liturgical rubrics – but the worship at Lord God of Sabaoth was uncharted territory for me. It was about as low on the proverbial candle as you can get and would be best described as charismatic worship not unlike that of many non-conforming evangelical churches. The pastor, crucifer and two other acolytes even danced up the aisle during the processional. All of the important liturgical bits of the service were familiar, though executed in an unfamiliar manner – like gathering in a semi-circle and holding hands to recite the Lord's Prayer. About 60 per cent of the congregation were black and seemed comfortable, but the 40 per cent who were white (and all of retiree age) seemed less comfortable with the happy clappy worship. I don't know the standard operating practice of most Lutheran churches, but I was stunned to find that the wine at communion was in little plastic cups on a tray.
7 – The pastor spoke from the epistle side lectern instead of the double-decker pulpit. He preached well, and his sermon had a good basis in theology and doctrine.
We always want Jesus when things are bad, but forget to seek him during good times when we fall prey to the evil one.
The sermon, actually. These days one doesn't always hear of sin and Satan –"the evil one" – in a church of the American mainline Protestant denominations.
What to do with the plastic cup of wine.
The service ran about 25 minutes longer than I had planned, and I had an appointment that I had to keep and so I couldn't hang around. But anyway ...
There had been no mention of any after-service fellowship.
4 – While not my cup of tea, the worship was vibrant and the preaching solid.
It helped me appreciate the diversity of the Church Militant.
Not knowing what to do at the altar rail, when I discovered that the wine wasn't from a chalice, but rather plastic cups.

The Martyr's Right is Egypt's largest military action in North Sinai in months: Sources
The operation, aimed at rooting out and killing terrorists, has been informed by 'fresh information'
Ahmed Eleiba , Tuesday 8 Sep 2015
In this Nov. 6, 2014 file photo, an Egyptian army armored vehicle stands on the on the Egyptian side of border town of Rafah, north Sinai, Egypt (Photo: Reuters)
Egypt's army starts North Sinai Operation 'The Martyr's Right'; reports 29 'terrorists' killed
Egypt's army latest campaign in North Sinai is the biggest recent operation against terrorist organisations and has been launched based on fresh leads, according to military and other sources.
The Martyr's Right is a largest and most comprehensive operation aimed at rooting out and killing 'terrorists' since July's immediate response to militant attacks.
In early July militants affiliated to the terrorist group Islamic State (IS) mounted their largest attack in months on Egypt's security forces. The attacks concentrated on the cities of Sheikh Zuweid and Rafah and resulted in over a hundred deaths, most of them militants killed in the military's response.
Operation The Martyr's Right targets sites in Rafah, Arish and Sheikh Zuweid, all towns in northern areas of the peninsula, said the military statement.
The military has already stopped and arrested many of the North Sinai-based militant leaders and organisers of terrorist operations.
Major general Mohamed Ali Belal explained that all major military operations against militants are given names to distinguish them from routine operations to destroy Egypt-Gaza smuggling tunnels or other standard actions.
"A comprehensive campaign has been launched based on an estimation of the situation and fresh information about many hideouts and targets. Such campaigns are undertaken with a clear plan… and with a timeframe," he explained.
Eyewitnesses in North Sinai confirmed there had been a build up to Operation The Martyr's Right in terms of troop deployment.
Sheikh Abdullah Gahama, deputy head of the Coalition of Arab Tribes, told Ahram Online that sites targeted by the operation are completely sealed on the ground.
"Tribes largely support this operation," Gahama said. But. He said, "tribes are not playing a direct role in the operation."
"The security situation has notably improved in North Sinai with the army largely having things under control over the past three months," he added.
The army said it has beefed up security around major government institutions and private buildings in the region as well as roads.
In Be'r Abd, a city some 80 kilometers from North Sinai's capital Arish, a resident said there are an unprecedented number of military checkpoints on roads at the moment.
Mohamed Hamad, son of a tribal leader in Be'r Abd, added that vehicles are thoroughly checked by security personnel.
"There are four new checkpoints beyond the city gate," he stated. "The [security] situation has been met with real satisfaction from the residents of the city and the surrounding areas."
The Egyptian army announced on television that the extensive operation started at the crack of dawn on Monday. Aimed at rooting out Islamist insurgents, the operation had resulted in the killing of 29 terrorists by the time of the statement.
The army added that a soldier and a conscript were killed during the offensive and four others were wounded when a bomb struck their armoured vehicle.
North Sinai, which borders Israel and the Palestinian Gaza Strip, is a stronghold of Islamist militant group Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis, which has renamed itself Sinai Province after proclaiming allegiance to the IS in 2014.
Sinai Province has intensified its attacks against army and police personnel since the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in July 2013. Morsi has since been convicted of a number of violent crimes.
Egypt began intense security action in the region in August 2012 after an attack near the border with Israel and Gaza killed 16 Egyptian soldiers, at the time the deadliest domestic attack on Egyptian troops for years.
Troops have since then been fighting an Islamist insurgency that has left hundreds of army and police personnel in Sinai and across the country dead.

The recent 2010 African Union (AU) Summit in Addis Ababa not only provided distinguished Heads of State and Government an opportunity to discuss pressing business, but also to unveil the AU's new flag. Designed by Ethiopian-American artist Yadesa Bojia, the flag features stars to represent AU member states and a green background, symbolizing the hope of Africa.
The selection of Yadesa's design as the winner of the AU's competition is concrete evidence of this impact. On a broader scale, Yadesa believes that the African Diaspora has a vital and important role to play in Africa's growth and development. "The extent of our involvement has to be raised significantly," he asserts. He sees the relationship between Africa and the Diaspora as a two-sided equation in which members of the Diaspora dedicate themselves to making serious contributions to Africa while African governments pursue initiatives to attract the Diaspora's assistance.
Africans and Americans alike can take pride in Yadesa's accomplishment. For years to come, those who gaze at the AU flag will see the hope and history captured in his creative design. The flag will stand as a symbol not only of the African Union, but of the goals that can be achieved when education combines with commitment to benefit Africa.


If your regular dentist has determined that you or your family members might need braces or other orthodontic treatment, the chances are that he/she will give you a name and referral to specific Kano orthodontists.
Kano orthodontists are dental specialists who diagnose, prevent and treat dental and facial irregularities.
They receive an additional two to three years of specialized education beyond dental school to learn the proper way to align and straighten teeth. Only those with this formal education may call themselves orthodontists.
How to Find the Right Kano Orthodontist Dentist?
If you decide to choose a different Kano orthodontist dentist for insurance purposes or other reasons, ask your family, friends, neighbors and coworkers for recommendations.
– Make a list of the Kano orthodontists that have been recommended to you. Write down the names and numbers, leaving a space between each name to make notes later.
– When you have the time to make some phone calls, get your list and insurance card (if you are using insurance) and start by calling the first name on the Kano list.
– If insurance is involved, you will need to first find out if they accept your specific plan. Do not assume that they accept it because your insurance booklet says they do.
– Ask if they offer a wide variety of braces, including invisible braces or a 'no braces' look. If a Kano doctor offers a variety of braces, retainers and trendy accessories, he/she will also probably be using the latest equipment and techniques.
– Check out their payment policy and find out if they offer payment plans with no interest. Most Kano doctors do not charge interest; however, there are some that do.
– Find out if they offer a free consultation. Many Kano orthodontists do this now so that you can find out a lot more information without any additional cost.
– Make sure that their office hours in Kano and work days will coincide with the days that you would be available for appointments.
– If you feel comfortable with one or more of the offices in Kano that you phoned, call back to schedule a consultation. Remember to ask for the same person you spoke with earlier, so that you do not have to repeat everything.
At the consultation, you will meet the Kano orthodontist and his/her staff. You will probably be given a tour of the office and answers to any questions that you might have. This should be the final factor in deciding which orthodontist to choose.

News flash: Boys are not girls!
Exclusive: Marylou Barry rips parents of 7-year-old allowed to join female scout troop
By WND Staff
Published January 20, 2012 at 7:44pm
By Marylou Barry
Mrs. Loretti and Mrs. McClary would die.
No, on second thought, they'd probably decide that dying was for cowards and they'd stick around to protect the kids, because that's the kind of women they were.
Mrs. Loretti and Mrs. McClary were my Girl Scout troop leaders in an America long gone. The organization stood for something back then, and we all took our Girl Scout Promise seriously: "On my honor, I will try …" And we did try, but the world and the times got away from us. Where is that honor now? Where is that country now? I wish I could find it again.
The Girl Scouts' sleazy tango with baby-killer Planned Parenthood and its ilk has been going on for years, but its outreach to the gender-confused reached a new low with the admission of 7-year-old Coloradan Bobby Montoya, whose mother forced his acceptance by claiming he was a girl born in the wrong body. Fifty years ago he would have been placed with relatives while she was in the hospital for observation.
"Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's pre-eminent organization dedicated solely to girls – all girls," the Girl Scouts' Facebook page says. Even the group's own website's "diversity" page doesn't hint that diversity includes boys, no matter how wacko their parents, so where does this idea come from? Isn't that why there is a Boy Scouts?
But this isn't the Girl Scouts' policy at all, the Girl Scouts of Colorado told CNN: "If a child identifies as a girl and the child's family presents her [sic] as a girl, Girl Scouts of Colorado welcomes her [sic] as a Girl Scout." Sick.
How ironic it is that girls actually had more rights before women's lib than they have today. Half a century ago girls couldn't be aborted, and we had freedom of association, freedom of speech, freedom to use the bathroom without having to worrying about prying male ears and eyes, and freedom from having to play along with some poor brainwashed child's psychotic fantasy. The babysitting and coddling of misguided little brothers, who must not feel left out or their parents will sue, is what Girl Scouting will be from now on.
Bobby Montoya is no teenage envelope-pusher, just an innocent young child caught in a monstrous situation, with no realistic understanding yet of how boys and girls differ let alone of what he wants to be when he grows up. Still his case establishes a precedent and cracks open the door to abuses only George Orwell could have imagined.
So far the Montoya charade has resulted in the disbanding of three Girl Scout troops, a national cookie boycott and a 14-year-old with the courage to post her dissent online being forced off her site by hate mail. If you think that's destructive, wait until hormonal male adolescents with liberal parents figure out they're entitled to the overnight camping trip option.
Why is it the base of an organization always has to leave or adjust to what revisionists want? Why can't the revisionists just go and start their own groups if they don't like the ones that already exist? Instead, Bible-believing Christians have to leave and form "new" churches because Bible-deniers want to keep the buildings, names and bank accounts, but not the doctrines. Parents have to remove children because schools start teaching perversion and evolution-as-fact. Voters have to vote for third parties because the ones they joined no longer adhere to their own written platforms.
"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act," Orwell said. So, I expect I will be accused of cruelty for stating the obvious, but boys are not girls and never will be. They are, at best, imitation girls, just as vaudeville comedians in blackface were imitation African-Americans and surgeons who forge their medical school transcripts are imitation doctors. Encouraging children in this self-deception is the unkindest cut of all.
Why is it the more sex education schools provide, the less able people are to discern the very basics? Bobby Montoya is not a girl; he is an apparently normal little boy trying to grow up in a sea of abnormal influences. I feel sorry for kids who are manipulated by deranged or self-centered parents, but it's those parents who bear responsibility for their children's confusion, not those of us who populate the normal world into which those children are expected to fit.
If Mrs. Loretti and Mrs. McClary are no longer with us, they must be rolling over in their graves right now, and I'll bet Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Lowe is rolling over with them. Reality has caved in to make-believe, the emperor has no clothes, and the inmates truly have taken over the asylum.
(Good news for cookie fans who don't want to support this kind of insanity: Your favorite grocery store stocks those very addictive flat chocolate-peppermint discs in its regular cookie section all year long. They may come from different manufacturers but they're just as delectable, especially if you toss them in the freezer for a few hours first.)

Parameters

                                key

The key to associate value with — if value is valid JSON.

                                value

Sets (i.e. associates) value for a given key, but only if value is valid JSON.

Note

It’d make sense to model this as a subscript, but subscripts are generally thought of as assignment in Swift. A conditional subscript would be weird and unexpected behavior.

Declaration

Swift

@discardableResult
mutating public func associateIfValid(key: String, value: Any) -> Bool

Parameters

                                key

The key to associate value with — if value is valid JSON.

                                value

A JSON value to be associated with key. If it is not valid JSON, it will not be associated.

Return Value

true if value is valid JSON and key and value are successfully associated. false if value is not valid JSON.

in poems— let love go dead.
So my darling, critics be damned!
I tortured a poem just for you.
Kay Day is one of those writers who does it all--poetry, memoir, nonfiction, journalism, technical...you name it, she does it--and does it well. Currently the host of a daily syndicated blog called the "Day on the Day," which gives her the opportunity to appear regularly on The Cindy Graves Show on WBOB-AM 600, and on a number of other talk shows, she is also a columnist for the online version of The Writer Magazine. Kay is the author of an award-winning poetry collection and a memoir. A former South Carolinian now living in Jacksonville, Florida, Kay's work has appeared in numerous magazines and anthologies and she is a frequent guest at schools and book events.
Acquitted with great wit and verve!
The torturing of poems and the doing of not what we were told to do! And all in the name of LURVE!! What's not to like? Fortunately, poem-torturing is not an indictable offence! When butterflies collide on the other side of the world, the heart shudders in recognition on this! Keep up the hideous brutality!!
Wow! This hit me hard. Great feelings come from the great words.

Sen. Hwang's Statement on SOTS Merrill's decision not to seek reelection
State Senator Tony Hwang (R-28) shares the following comments on Connecticut's Secretary of the State Denise Merrill announcing that she will not seek a 4th term:
"Connecticut's office of the Secretary of the State is one of the most important and critical Constitutional Offices given its' influence and impact of voting rights, access and security.
"I want to extend my sincere appreciation and admiration to Secretary Denise Merrill for her service to our state and hard fought legislative and municipal interactions to improve voter access and election integrity in Connecticut. She has been at the helm through incredible technological advancements and challenges that have both supported and threatened our voting systems and infrastructure. Through my experiences as a former ranking leader of the legislature's Government Administration and Elections committee, I can attest to her passion and philosophical commitment and vision when it came to her duties as the Secretary of the State.
"I wish her the very best in the next stage of her personal and professional endeavors."


We have a number of software applications that fit under this description. Some students, for motivational reasons, require more 'fun-factor' learning, whereas other students are happy to engage in the learning process because they are already experiencing the intrinsic satisfaction that learning brings. Please speak with our teachers if your child needs more 'fun'... you know your child better than we do!
Of course some students don't find learning fun until they know the fundamentals...and that implies there has to be some mental activity to start with!
For some students we almost have to trick the brain into engagement before they begin to create effective neural pathways. However, for students who continue to struggle they may well have a hidden learning disability: optometric, Irlen, dyslexia or other. Layers of problems often require layers of solutions!

Laundry day… fret fret fret...tiresome hours of sorting the whites from the colors and then the delicates. Going through all those labels to wash it just right and maintain the quality of the fibre is a hassle many have known. Bitten by the 'busyness bug,' we simply don't have the time anymore.
Well, this trio figured that maybe people like you and me need a simple, economical and efficient laundry service. IITians Gaurav Agrawal (BHU), Ankur Jain (Bombay) and Samar Sisodia (BHU) set up PickMyLaundry in January 2015.
PickMyLaundry provides convenient, affordable and quality laundry and dry-cleaning services to mobile and internet-using consumers. An on-demand service, they offer Wash & Fold, Wash & Iron, Dry Clean, Steam Press, Show Servicing and Carpet Cleaning, amongst others. With an impeccably laundered website, they provide a very simple way of placing an order - with payments via COD or Online. The Android version is to be launched very soon.
Laundry is a pain point for almost everyone, but their primary target audience is bachelors (working professionals). Having said that, there seems to be a huge requirement from housewives, senior citizens, and students as well. They have 82% customers who place orders repeatedly, and a whopping 40% customers use their services.
With a turnaround time of 24 hours, they have 2 hour time slots starting from 7 AM, ending at 11 PM; thus making it convenient for working professionals.They have framed synergies and internal agreements with laundry partners, ensuring quality & faster turnaround times. Their integrated processes for laundromats helps them manage their resources well and get the processing done at a very low cost.
Their data analytics show the order distribution in weekdays vs weekends, the peak time slots, geographical concentration, etc. - which helps in planning and the execution of logistics - another important factor in this tough operations-oriented business. They use automatic washing machines which get programmed for different garments based on the type of fabric; and they use a mix of international detergents that exhuberate a long lasting freshness.
There are asset-owned players who also have their retail customers. But they aim to bring all these players on-board and route all the retail customers through PickMyLaundry. With a similar business model, they aspire to be the Washio in India.Washio, that's also been called the Uber-for-laundry raised their Series A in June 2014 at $10.5 million by Canaan Partners.
Way forward, they are adding vendors to increase their capacity, and targeting to manage up to 8,000 wardrobes a month by December 2015, which signifies a hockey stick growth.
Going forward, they intend to serve more retail consumers; and will launch Express Services like 'In-a-day Delivery'&'Overnight Delivery'.
They have already started serving a lot employees from startups like Snapdeal, Tripoto, Moovo, Oyo rooms, to name a few. They also serve expats.
