\section{Introduction}
Fluorinated graphene is a potential candidate for logic circuits and nanoelectronic devices due to the integration of graphene's exceptional properties with localized and quantum fluorine defects\cite{Ho, Cheng, Han}. While pristine graphene is a diamagnetic semiconductor with zero band gap, many experiments have confirmed that fluorination induces local magnetic moments on graphene and opens the band gap \cite{Nair_2012, Hong, Zhao}. Despite the large number of studies which consider the electronic properties of fluorinated graphene\cite{Irmer, Kim, Sahin, Santos}, the influence of fluorine bonding on the magnetization, specifically at low fluorine content, remains theoretically an open question\cite{Han}.

Treating fluorine adatoms on graphene (FG) within density functional theory (DFT) is a questionable approach and predicts a non-magnetic moment ground state. While an attempt was made to relate this non-magnetic ground state to the ionic character of the C--F bond\cite{Santos}, experimental measurements negate this prediction and confirm a spin-polarized ground state for FG, especially at low fluorine coverage\cite{Nair_2012, Hong}. According to the experimental evidence, dilute FG shows an unexpected colossal negative magnetoresistance comparable to those observed in ferromagnetic semiconductors. This suggests fluorine on graphene produces a strong magnetic moment and a quantum metal-insulator transition\cite{Hong}.

DFT functionals often suffer from an electron delocalization error: they have a tendency to spread out the electron density artificially\cite{Mori}. This erroneous behavior of density is connected to many-electron self-interaction errors (SIE), which are not completely canceled by local exchange. SIE especially manifests itself for systems with odd number of electrons, resulting in an incorrect description of the energy of the orbitals and spin states.

Local and semi-local exchange-correlation functionals work well in weakly correlated systems\cite{Ceder, Casely}, but they provide a relatively poor description of many strongly correlated regimes\cite{Cohen}. It has been shown recently that the total magnetization for hydrogen adsorbed on graphene can drop to zero due to the SIE\cite{Casolo}. Hybrid functionals can partially correct for the SIE by including of a fraction of exact exchange adjusted to cancel the SIE\cite{Seminario}. One recent work which improved on the DFT description of the magnetic moment and optical gap of dilute FG was based on hybrid functionals\cite{Kim}. Generally, hybrid functionals produce a good description of high spin systems, but may fail for low spin complexes\cite{Scherlis, Verma}. In addition, depending on the system under study, these functionals could be computationally quite expensive.

DFT+U is an alternative technique to correct the SIE for localized atomic-like states. In this method, the exchange-correlation functional is modified with a correction functional, while the parameter U controls the magnitude of this correction. In the present study, we propose GGA+U to describe the electronic properties of FG, and to treat the strong correlations stemming from electron localization. DFT+U constructs a corrective functional, inspired by the Hubbard model, which presents a simple expression for the correlation term with a computational cost comparable to standard DFT calculations\cite{Himmetoglu}. We will show that the introduction of fluorine on graphene sheets does not lead to a perfect $sp^3$ rehybridization. To understand the hybridization character of carbon orbitals and the C–-F bonding nature, the GGA density of states has been calculated, projected on atomic orbitals (pDOS). The defect states are found to have some d-like character near the Fermi level. This finding further encourages us to use the more appropriate and accurate GGA+U method.

We confirm that, in disagreement with experiment, spin-polarized GGA calculations predict the ground state of FG to be a delocalized nonmagnetic configuration. The GGA+U reproduces the essential experimental features of FG. We show that $sp^3$ bonding between carbon and fluorine tends to localize the electrons responsible for $\pi$-bonding in pristine graphene. By adding F atoms, the electron density distribution around the central carbon bonded to F, C(F), changes and induces a magnetic moment in the FG sheet. If fluorine bonds to one of the carbons in the A-sublattice of graphene, the electrons at the top of the valence band will be spin-down electrons localized on the A-sublattice, while the bottom of the conduction band will be composed of spin-up electrons localized on the B sites. A gap emerges, in particular at the center of the first Brillouin zone (BZ) ($\Gamma$-point).

The insulating character of the system can be explained by spin alignment of those electrons in the vicinity of Fermi level, induced by fluorine. The resulting magnetization is preferentially oriented along the symmetry axes of the structure, induced by the C--F bond and perpendicular to the graphene plane with a magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) of 3.95 $\mu$eV/F adatom. Forcing the electrons to localize in atomic-like orbitals leads to increasing Coulomb interaction and correlation.
We also perform GGA+U+SOC calculations and find that the SOC interaction only has a small contribution to the exchange splitting.

\section{Computational details}
One fluorine atom is attached to a 3$\times$3 supercell of graphene at the top position of a carbon, as shown in Fig.~\ref{FIG1}, yielding an experimentally representative coverage fraction for FG. Other coverage regimes with full or very sparse fluorination are very interesting, but yield different electronic properties and will not be studied here.
We employ a first code (ABINIT)\cite{ABINIT} to relax the structure and evaluate a first implementation of DFT+U, within PAW spheres. We compare with a second code, Quantum Espresso (QE)\cite{QE}, which has a complete implementation of the DFT+U in all space (not just in atomic spheres) -- this will prove to be important for the extended p electrons, and will be our reference.
A (5$\times$5$\times$1) Monkhorst-Pack \textbf{k}-point mesh was used to sample the BZ \cite{Monkhorst}. The geometry is optimized within a GGA (PBE) plane-wave scheme, using norm-conserving (NC) Troullier-Martins (TM)\cite{Troullier} pseudopotentials (PP).
The plane waves are limited with a 40 a.u. energy cutoff and all atomic positions and the unit cell are fully optimized with atomic forces below 6 meV/\AA. Electronic properties including band structure and SOC effects are investigated using the projector-augmented wave (PAW) method with QE, with a converged PAW kinetic energy cutoff of 28 a.u. Calculations are first performed using collinear spin-polarized wave functions. To calculate the strongly correlated electronic structure, we use the rotationally invariant scheme introduced by Liechtenstein et al.\cite{Lichtenstein} and then simplified by Dudarev\cite{Dudarev}. Within this formulation, the non-spherical electronic interactions are neglected. The optimized geometry obtained by PBE, when used in the PBE+U calculations shows a maximum stress of about 1.0d-4 a.u.
Applying the commonly used approximation of $U_{eff}=U-J$ and setting $J=0$, gives a slightly smaller magnetic moment.
We have performed $\pi$-orbital axis (POAV1) vector analysis as described in Ref.s~[\onlinecite{Haddon}] and [\onlinecite{Bai}] to evaluate the orbital nature. We have used the method introduced in Ref. [\onlinecite{Bai}], which is based on the coordinates of the conjugated central C(F) and the three attached atoms C(NN). The POAV2 analysis\cite{Haddon_2} is performed to predict the nature of the C–-F bond by calculating the degree of the p-orbital content in the $\sigma$-orbitals ($sp^n$).
Finally, we calculate spin-orbit splittings using a standard non-collinear scheme applied with two-component Pauli spinors.

\section{Results and discussions}
\subsection{Optimized geometries and bonding hybridization}
After relaxation, as presented in Fig.~\ref{FIG1}, the single adatom remains on top of the carbon, the most favorable position for chemisorption\cite{Casolo}. C(F)-–F bond length is predicted to be about 1.55 \AA, which is larger than the typical carbon-fluorine $sp^3$ bond length (about 1.37 \AA), and is in good agreement with a previous PBE prediction\cite{Santos}. Other geometric information, including the distance between the central carbon and its nearest neighbors C(NN), is presented in Table \ref{tab1}. As a consequence of the induced  $sp^3$ hybridization between the C and F atoms, C(F) is pulled out of the plane by about 0.33 \AA. The three C(F)–-C(NN) $\sigma$--bonds of graphene resist stretching; consequently, these atoms are also dragged slightly out of the plane to reduce the bond stress. This results in a decrease in the values of the three angles ($\angle$C(NN), C(F), C(NN)) in the interior hexagonal ring around the central C(F) from 120.0$^{\circ}$ to about 115.5$^{\circ}$.

\end{table}
$\pi$-orbital axis vector analysis predicts a deviation from $sp^2$ to $sp^{2.33}$ hybridization for the three $\sigma$-bonds pointing towards C(F) atom. Thus, by adding fluorine these three $\sigma$-bonds gain only slight $sp^3$ character. The three $\sigma$-bonds resist further pulling C(F) up and prevent the formation of three 109.5$^{\circ}$ angles between F–-C(F)–-C(NN). This results in a larger C–-F bond length and a smaller bond angle of 102.4$^{\circ}$. Analyzing the $\sigma$- and $\pi$-orbitals of atoms using the POAV2 method demonstrates the formation of $sp^{4.66}$ rehybridization in the C(F)–-F bond, which indicates the great contribution of nearby p-orbitals to this bond. Forming $sp^{4.66}$ hybridization, rather than $sp^3$, is due to the large electronegativity of fluorine on one side, and the resistance of graphene to maintain its $sp^2$ character.

\subsection{PBE Electronic structure }
The spin-polarized ground state of FG in PBE is favored by only 1 meV over the spin-unpolarized configuration (within the intrinsic error). We will see later that this stems from the PBE inability to predict correctly exchange interactions of the correlated electrons in this system. The Dirac point \textbf{K} in the primitive hexagonal BZ is folded to the $\Gamma$-point for the supercell represented in Fig. \ref{FIG1}. The PBE electronic band structure is plotted in Fig. \ref{FIG2}(a) showing a zero band gap. PBE predicts that the maximum splitting between spin up and down electrons happens for conduction (c) band (14~meV) and mid-gap (m) states (17~ meV), respectively. The spin splittings for other bands are at most 1-7 meV. According to PBE, the Fermi level is shifted down compared to the Dirac point of pristine graphene by 0.54 eV. This shift is in good agreement with the value reported in Ref.~[\onlinecite{Kim}] (0.45 eV) for larger supercells. L\"{o}wdin\cite{Lowdin} population analysis shows a relatively large charge of about 0.38 e transferred from carbon C(F) into the fluorine adatom, giving ionic character to the C–-F covalent bond. Therefore, electrons experience an electric field stemming from a dipole at the puckered out point. This feature along with the reduction of the symmetry from D$_{6h}$ in pristine graphene into C$_{3v}$ in FG lift the degeneracy between $\pi$ (at -2.13 eV, or 0.65 eV from $E_F$) and $\pi$* (at -2.06 eV or 0.72 eV from $E_F$) states and opens a small direct gap of about 74 meV from spin majority channel at the $\Gamma$ point, as illustrated in Fig. \ref{FIG2}(a). Likewise, a 91 meV gap is opened between $\pi$ (at -2.14 eV) and $\pi$* (at -2.05 eV) states from spin minority channel. There is no global gap between the highest occupied and the lowest unoccupied states.

The $sp^3$ bonding and antibonding states made of F and C(F) atoms have no contribution to the valence (v) and mid-gap bands, and are located in the intervals (-7, -5) and (3, 5) eV with respect to the Fermi level. The four orbitals of C(F) (s, p$_z$, and p$_x$, p$_y$) and the p$_z$ orbital of F all contribute (see Fig. \ref{FIG3}(a)).
As in pristine graphene, the $\pi$-orbitals start below -7 eV. In Fig. \ref{FIG3}(b), we see three energy intervals with their strong peaks in the intervals (-2, -1), (-0.5, 1), (1, 2.5) eV, in which p$_z$ orbitals dominate. The outer intervals correspond to valence-$\pi$ and conduction-$\pi$* states.
As expected, from this figure we see that the C(F)-p$_z$ orbital has no contribution to these bands. PBE-PAW predicts that these two bands have linear dispersion as in pristine graphene, which form an approximate cone at the $\Gamma$ point. At the edges of these two bands, (between -2 and 2.5 eV), orbitals with small F--(p$_x$+p$_y$) and C(F)-(p$_x$+p$_y$) character are present. Close examination of the pDOS in the middle energy window, (-0.5 to 1 eV), shows the dominant presence of p$_z$ orbitals of F, C(NN) and its NNN. The carbons are from opposite sublattices to C(F), indicating that this quasi-localized mid-gap state is induced by the presence of the F-adatom. The mid-gap band is nearly flat (about 0.71 eV bandwidth). A small contribution from overlapping C(F)-s and F-s orbitals with C(NN)-p$_z$ orbitals, lowers the energy of this band in some regions and adds to its dispersion resulting from the finite F--F distance in plane. We note that the F-induced mid-gap state has larger bandwidth relative to the H-induced state on graphene (0.06 eV)\cite{Kim}. This overlap is a result of C(F) puckering out of the plane along with the stronger electronegativity of fluorine atom.

The total spin is quenched to roughly zero by the dilution of fractional spin distributions on all atoms, as predicted by PBE-PAW. Therefore, small spin splitting subsists in the overall band structure, and the ground state is nearly spin-unpolarized and metallic. We expect the C(F) and F-p$_z$ electrons, which are localized, to leave the system with a magnetization of 1 $\mu_B$. The strong $\pi$-conjugation in the hexagonal rings can also provide additional stability for the unpaired electron derived from fluorine adatom. In short, the M$\approx$0 result from PBE is unphysical.

Experimental findings indicate spin 1/2 paramagnetism in the partially fluorinated graphene sheet, resulting from unpaired spins in $\pi$-bands \cite{Nair_2012, Cheng}. The number of measured paramagnetic centers reported in Ref.~[\onlinecite{Nair_2012}] was not equal to the number of F adatoms in the sample, but three orders of magnitude smaller. In Ref.~[ \onlinecite{Nair_2012}], this was explained by fluorine's significant tendency to cluster on graphene, and that the bipartite nature of the graphene lattice destroys the magnetic moment forming in the interior part of the fluorine cluster. Hence, the magnetic moment contribution comes only from adatoms near the cluster edges, or only those fluorine atoms that have no counterparts on the neighboring sites of the bipartite sublattice. For an single F atom, one expects a total magnetic moment of 1~$\mu_B$ to emerge for structure like Fig.~\ref{FIG1}.

The prediction of a metallic band structure is another conflict between PBE and experiments. All experiments confirm that FG is a semiconductor. The value of the experimental band gap has sparked a debate in the literature, and shows large discrepancies between 68 or 80 meV up to 3eV\cite{Nair_2010, Zbo, Zhao, Cheng}.  The measurements will be affected by states inside the gap due to: the number of graphene layers, impurities, defects and vacancies appear during experimental synthesis and the annealing of the structure. In addition, different fluorination approaches and relevant fluorination parameters result in different conformations and C/F ratio\cite{Cheng_2016}, which affects the electronic and physical properties of the structure. Nair et al. in particular reported fully fluorinated single-side graphene is a semiconductor with a wide gap of 3.0 eV and resistivity higher than 10$^{12}~\Omega$/m at room temperature\cite{Nair_2010}.

We also expect the FG paramagnetic transition to be accompanied by a metal to insulator transition, as shown by experiment. While PBE fails in our expectations, one should recall that correlation effects are central to many metal-insulator transitions. Also, as discussed above, electrons are moving in a narrow mid-gap band, which implies strong electron-electron correlation. Importantly, the C(F) and F atom partial DOS in the vicinity of the Fermi level show contributions of d orbitals in this region. This behavior has also been reported in Ref.~[\onlinecite{Irmer}]. Therefore, we improve our local electronic treatment by using PBE+U to see the effects of correlation, induced by C--F bonding, in the total magnetic moment and electronic properties of FG. Moreover, by using this approach one can reduce the SIE associated to delocalization errors in DFT. The results are discussed in the next section.

(b) In contrast to pristine graphene, p$_z$-electron density perpendicular to the plane in FG is not distributed homogeneously. An obvious charge depletion around C(F) atom is seen. Charges are semi-localized around carbons on B sublattice, when F bonds to carbon on sublattice A (c) breaking of $\pi$-bonding between C(F)-C(NN) leads to the induction of magnetic moments throughout the lattice. The maximum positive polarization contributions are from carbons belonging to the sublattice B (denser green lines). As shown, the directions of the magnetic moments also in two sublattices are opposite, so that negative polarization contributions are from carbons belonging to the sublattice A (blue lines).

\end{figure*}
\subsection{PBE+U Electronic structure }\label{subsec: pbe+u}
It is well known that LDA and GGA functionals produce total energies with unphysical curvatures for fractional numbers of electrons\cite{Mori, Perdew}. This is related to the SIE stemming from artificial delocalization in Kohn-Sham occupied orbitals, and gives a spurious contribution to the total energy, hence one cannot retrieve the correlation correctly. In our study, with an open-shell atom (F) and an odd number of electrons in the metallic graphene surface, SIE produces a severe problem. The self-interaction corrected hybrid functionals (such as Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE)\cite{Krukau}) can reproduce qualitatively the magnetic properties of fluorinated graphene. In Ref.~[\onlinecite{Kim}] it is shown that HSE recovers 97\% of the experimental magnetic moment, and a gap of about 0.51 eV at the  $\Gamma$ point of a single F-adatom on graphene for a $3\sqrt3\times3\sqrt3R30^{\circ}$ supercell (1:54 of fluorine coverage). The non integer M and small gap imply that this is a problematic phase with HSE too, and further tuning of the fraction of Fock exchange may be needed.

In contrast to the HF method, in DFT+U the effective interaction is orbital-specific
 and computationally much more efficient. If the U value compensates the curvature of the DFT total energy profile, DFT+U can also cure the problematic SIE\cite{Cococcioni}.

The on-site electron-electron interactions, which here are important for localized electrons in our narrow mid-gap state, are taken from the atomic Hartree-Fock Slater integrals. The hopping of electrons between neighboring atoms is costly, giving added correlation between electrons sharing the same orbital. The on-site repulsion energy in the p-orbitals increases the cost of double occupation, the spin-degenerate bands will split near the Fermi energy, and the correct magnetization and optical gap will be retrieved.

An important question is which atoms the Hubbard U should be applied on: the p orbitals are common to all of the atoms. We begin by applying the U correction only to the fluorine, C(F) and its three NN carbons. In this case we obtain a magnetic moment close to 1~$\mu_B$, but the calculated band structure is similar to that for PBE discussed in the previous section, with nearly zero band gap. As mentioned above, the pDOS calculations confirm that p$_z$ orbitals of most of the atoms in the supercell contribute to the mid-gap state. As a result, we apply U to electrons in the p orbitals of all carbons and fluorine in the supercell.

To determine the parameters U and J, we scan a large range of values, for their optimum with respect to experiment. We start by neglecting the lesser term in the total energy, setting $J=0$. This term originates from non-sphericity of the electronic interaction, yielding the simple  $"$+\textit{U} $"$ approach. The optimum U energy should restore the system to the expected magnetic moment near to M=1~$\mu_B$. We have performed a systematic investigation and increased U in progressive steps to find the smallest physical value.
By setting $U=5.3$ eV the magnetic moment of M=1~$\mu_B$ is recovered (we also examine larger values). Next, by increasing J and changing U, we further searched the correlated electron space, for a total moment of M=1~$\mu_B$ obtained from the smallest U and minimal total energy. We scanned J starting with small value of 0.1 eV, and changed U in the vicinity of 5.3 eV. The adjustment has been done with special care in small energy intervals. Finally, we end up with $U=5$~eV and $J=0.1$~eV, which yield a total magnetic moment of M=1~$\mu_B$. In this condition, a direct gap of 1.08~eV opens at $\Gamma$ point between the highest occupied energy (minority electrons at -3.73~eV, or -0.23~eV wrt $E_F$) and the lowest unoccupied energy (majority electrons at -2.65~eV, or 0.85 eV wrt $E_F$). As shown in Fig.~\ref{FIG2}(b). FG is found to be an indirect semiconductor with a gap of 0.41~eV between the $\Gamma$ and M points in the minority electron channel.
The same direct gap (1.07 eV) and M=0.999~$\mu_B$ can be obtained from the ABINIT code, using a different implementation which applies the Hubbard U in atomic spheres instead of all space (important for extended p orbitals). The parameters must be pushed to $U=12.5$~eV and $J=1.2$~eV to yield the same gap and magnetic moment (very similar overall band structure). In this case at least we can obtain the same physical results as from the DFT+U implemented in QE in all space, but with much larger U and J values, as they are applied only on a small part of the atomic-like orbitals. We note in passing that (1) the self-consistent loop shows faster and more stable convergence in the localized U implementation in ABINIT; and (2) we do not claim that this equivalence holds in general for DFT+U on extended p orbitals, as it will depend on bonding environments.

In terms of the total energy, PBE+U shows a spin-polarized ground state about 169~meV below the spin-unpolarized state (compare with 1~meV for PBE). The band structure shown in Fig.~\ref{FIG2}(b) displays a clear exchange splitting for all bands. The maximum splitting occurs for the mid-gap state with 1.58~eV at point~\textbf{K}. The valence and conduction bands split by at maximum 0.32 eV (near point \textbf{K}) and 0.34eV (at point \textbf{K}), respectively. From Fig.~\ref{FIG2}(b), we observe that the characteristic linear dispersion of graphene has been modified. The split mid-gap state explains elegantly the magnetic state, with the occupied spin-up mid-gap state degenerate with the valence band at $\Gamma$, and the unoccupied spin-down state degenerate with the conduction band. This is consistent with the experimental finding that even weakly fluorinated graphene is an insulator with three orders of magnitude higher resistivity than graphene at room temperature \cite{Nair_2010}.
In spite of a different fluorination ratio, our DFT+U electrical features shown in Fig.~\ref{FIG1} for a 3$\times$3 supercell is comparable to the HSE hybrid functional band structure for a fluorine adatom in a $3\sqrt3\times3\sqrt3R30^\circ$ graphene supercell from Ref.~[{\onlinecite{Kim}]. A direct band gap of 0.51 eV at point $\Gamma$ and total magnetization of 0.97~$\mu_B$ is predicted for this supercell. Their structure is also predicted to be an indirect gap semiconductor.

 The GGA+U predicted pDOS of p$_z$ orbitals for four different carbon atoms, on both A and B sites, are shown in Fig.~\ref{FIG_SI} of supplementary information. By convention we will call the spin on F ''up''. PDOS of p$_x$ and p$_y$ orbitals show no polarization from both PBE and PBE+U and are not shown here. In GGA, almost no spin splitting for p$_z$ orbitals is observed, and no net magnetization is predicted.  Instead, in GGA+U, there is a clear spin splitting of the p$_z$ orbitals, and there is a net spin up. The difference between the pDOS for the two sublattices is another distinctive feature can be observed in Fig.~\ref{FIG_SI} of supplementary information. As shown in Fig.~\ref{FIG1}, atoms C4 and C10 belong to the same sublattice A as C(F), while atoms C9 and C14 belong to sublattice B.
There remains a small down spin for atoms on sites A, which does not cancel the resultant up polarization from sites B, leading to a ferrimagnetic state with net spin of 1~$\mu_B$ for FG.

\end{figure}

 GGA+U predicted pDOS of C(F) and F are also shown in Fig.~\ref{FIG_SI}. Both C(F) and F atoms have net spin up, however as the p$_z$ electron of F and C(F) are involved in $sp^3$ bonding, the polarization of these atoms are small (0.0304 and 0.0748 $\mu_B$ for C(F) and F, respectively). The C(F) NN have the maximum positive polarization of 0.25 $\mu_B$. The polarization decreases slowly with distance in this sublattice (0.23 $\mu_B$, 0.15 $\mu_B$ for C9 and C13, respectively). Comparing the contour maps of charge density distribution of pristine graphene and FG shows two different patterns: As it is seen in Fig. \ref{FIG4}(a), the charge density is distributed uniformly between carbons bonds in pristine graphene. While, in Fig. \ref{FIG4}(b), the introduction of a fluorine atom on sublattice A breaks the aromatic bonds in sublattice B around the tetrahedral C(F) atom. In addition, electron depletion around the C(F) atoms makes the charge distribution different in the two sublattices. Consequently, $\pi$-orbitals are not completely delocalized, and electrons do not propagate freely over hexagonal rings. As U increases, these localizations are followed by spin ordering and a metal-insulator phase transition, as seen in Ref.~[\onlinecite{Hong}]. The contour map of magnetization distribution in the graphene plane obtained from PBE+U is shown in Fig.~\ref{FIG4}(c), with a clear antiferromagnetic radial oscillation around the F atom. The maximum on the nearest atoms to the central carbon, on sublattice B, is followed by a maximum down spin ($\sim$-0.15~$\mu_B$) on sublattice A.

 \subsection{Spin-orbit splitting and magnetic anisotropy}
Finally, we have performed non-collinear PBE+U+SOC calculations with fully relativistic pseudopotentials with initial magnetizations which were either (1) zero (to see pure SOC splitting) and (2) non-zero (to test the ground state collinear structure).

(1) Spin compensated PBE+U predicts FG to be metal, with a degeneracy between the mid-gap state and conduction band at $\Gamma$, as shown in Fig.~\ref{FIG5}.  Incorporating SOC lowers the symmetry and the energies of these two bands. Here, the SOC-assisted gap is 41.1 meV. Likewise, large SOC exchange splittings are predicted for the mid-gap state at the \textbf{K} and \textbf{M} points by 53.2~meV and 52.0~meV, respectively.

(2) PBE+U clearly demonstrates nearest-neighbor spin interactions, originating from the presence of the F-adatom. Here, $\Delta E_{SOC}$  is calculated as the additional shift between a pair of bands after their initial spin splitting. The results are shown in Fig.~\ref{FIG6}. Our ''spin-polarized'' non-collinear PBE+U+SOC calculations yield only small differences compared to the collinear valence, mid-gap and conduction bands presented in Fig.~\ref{FIG2}(b). With SOC the total magnetic moment reduces only about by 2\% from its initial value and a small canting is found away from the normal direction (0.16~$\mu_B$ in plane). The maximum $\Delta E_{SOC}$ splitting of about 2~meV occurs at valence and mid-gap states. The FG structure shown in Fig.~\ref{FIG1} has no inversion symmetry and SOC splitting appears throughout the BZ, while $\Delta E_{SOC}$ is approximately constant through different \textbf{k} points, as shown in Fig.~\ref{FIG6}. Our PBE+U+SOC patterns are different from those presented by Ref.~[\onlinecite{Irmer}], in which there is no SOC splitting at $\Gamma$. With DFT+U, since the exchange interaction splits majority and minority electrons at $\Gamma$ point, (E(k=0,$\uparrow$)$\neq$ E(k=0,$\downarrow$)), therefore SOC splitting appears here too as seen in Fig.~\ref{FIG6}.

The SOC effect in pure graphene layers is very weak (about 25~$\mu$eV\cite{Kane}). It is well known that lattice distortion induced by adatoms giving rise to a much larger SOC within graphene layers\cite{Neto}: the SOC approximately depends on the amount of sp$^3$ hybridization of the carbon atom at the puckered out point. Following the theory introduced in Ref.~[\onlinecite{Neto}], we estimate relative strength of the SOC coupling with:
 \begin{equation}
\frac{\Delta E_{SOC}(\theta)}{\Delta E_{SOC}(at)}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\tan^2\theta }\sqrt{6(\tan^2\theta-2)},
\end{equation}
where $\Delta E_{SOC}(at)$ shows carbon atomic SOC ($\sim$10 meV), and $\theta$ denotes for the angle between the new $\sigma$ bond of FG structure and the normal direction along C--F bond. The PBE predicted induced distortion angle of 102.46$^{\circ}$, should increase $\Delta E_{SOC}$ approximately to 0.51\%  of the atomic value, ie to about 5 meV. This estimation is of the same order of the 2~meV calculated by PBE+U.

We inspected the band structures for possible Rashba features along different \textbf{k}-paths in the BZ, but find no important shifts.
The magnetic properties are set by the spin-exchange energy, $\Delta E_{ex}>>\Delta E_{SOC}$ , induced by fluorine adatoms.

 A SOC splitting value of the same order of magnitude as what we find from PBE+U (5.1~meV and 9.1~meV) has been measured under $\sim$0.005\% and $\sim$0.06\% fluorination \cite{Avsar}, while a previous DFT effort predicted much larger splitting of a few tens of meV~\cite{Irmer}.

Finally, we calculated the MAE, which reflects the orientation dependence of the total energy of the ground state of the system arising from SOC. MAE is calculated from the change in total energy with respect to variation of magnetic moment direction from the in-plane (x) into the perpendicular (z) directions. In most bulk ferromagnetic materials, magnetic anisotropy in a particular direction is a consequence of spin-orbit coupling. The perpendicular direction (along the C--F bond) is found to be the preferred orientation by 3.95~$\mu$eV. The MAE is expected to increase at lower fluorine concentration, as observed experimentally \cite{Hong}.\\

\section{Conclusion}
In summary, we show that PBE cannot correctly determine the magnetic and electronic features of fluorine adatoms on graphene. Instead, we have demonstrated that PBE+U provides a good description of this system, and even presents specific advantages over hybrid functionals. We obtain optimum U and J parameters values of 5 and 0.1~eV in the GGA+U calculation. We find that fluorine adatoms on graphene produce localized p$_z$ electrons throughout the lattice, and the system becomes ferrimagnetic and strongly correlated. The electronic and magnetic properties presented in this work are dominated by the influence of F-adatoms, but spread to both sublattices in the graphene substrate. The magnetic moment induced by fluorine plays a central role to control electronic and magnetic properties, and SOC has a minor effect on the electronic band structure. A magnetic anisotropy energy of 3.95~$\mu$eV is found with an out of plane easy axis. Our results show exchange interaction induced by fluorine is dominant, and no Rashba shift is found.

\section{APPENDIX: comparing PBE+U with PBE pDOS of atoms }

 As discussed in Sec.~\ref{subsec: pbe+u}, pDOS of atoms predicted by PBE functional does not show exchange splitting, either belonging to sublattice A or B. In contrast, by including correlation term between electrons, PBE+U shows clear exchange splitting for atoms especially if belonging to sublattice B, as seen in Fig.~\ref{FIG_SI}.

Comparing PBE+U pDOS of occupied p$_z$ and p$_x$ orbitals of majority and minority electrons shows the magnetic properties of FG mostly stemming from p$_z$ orbitals of atoms in sublattice B. Moreover, small negative plarizations from p$_z$ orbitals in sublattice A are observed. Almost no plarization for p$_z$ orbitals is resulted from PBE calculations.  Fermi energies E$_F$ are set to zero.}

Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik is a fitness enthusiast. He is healthy and loves to jog, run on the treadmill, lift light weights and squat regularly.
This might sound strange, but it's a fact about this immensely popular yet self-effacing leader.
A video shot two days back at Naveen Nivas revealed an untold side of 72-year-old CM who is seeking a fifth term in office. The video shows Naveen up on his fitness regime amidst the serene courtyard and living room of his residence, with all ease.
The short clip which has already gone viral on social media, has come as a big blow to Naveen's critics and a section of the opposition, who have been raising unfound doubts on the health of the Chief Minister.
At the end of the video Naveen quips with an elan - "Getting ready to fight for the people of Odisha."

La Alianza Iberoamericana por la Paz (en inglés: Ibero-American Alliance for Peace) es una organización no gubernamental que promueve la construcción de paz, los derechos humanos y el desarme en la región de Iberoamérica.

Historia
La organización fue fundada en Berlín durante el congreso mundial 'Desarmar por un clima de paz' de la Oficina Internacional por la Paz en 2016 por Angelo Cardona y Maria Teresa Barrios. Inicialmente la coalición era el Grupo Joven de la Oficina Internacional por la Paz (IPBYN, por su nombre en Inglés) en América Latina conocida bajo el nombre de Red Latinoamericana de Jóvenes por la Paz.

El Grupo Joven de la Oficina Internacional por la Paz, comenzó a preparar en 2018 una serie de conferencias de jóvenes por la paz alrededor del mundo, las cuales terminarían en la conferencia mundial, '¡Transformar! Hacia una cultura de paz' en Berlin, 2019. Para que el grupo joven pudiera realizar sus conferencias en América Latina con un nombre en español, Cardona y Barrios fundaron la Red Latinoamericana de Jóvenes por la Paz, junto a los miembros de la IPBYN en América Latina. La red es lanzada en la primera conferencia de la IPBYN, el 25 de abril de 2018 en Medellín, Colombia, durante el 'II Congreso Internacional de Ciencia y Educación para el desarrollo y la paz''', en la Universidad de Antioquia. Después, la Red Latinoamericana de Jóvenes por la Paz, lleva a cabo la segunda conferencia, el 3 de julio de 2018, en el Senado de la Nación Argentina, durante el congreso internacional 'Hablemos de Paz'.  La Red Latinoamericana hizo su tercera conferencia, el 9 de octubre de 2018, está vez en el Tecnologico de Monterrey campus Ciudad de México. En el 2020, los miembros del Grupo Joven de la IPB en Latinoamérica deciden cambiar su nombre a Alianza Iberoamericana por la Paz'', con el objetivo de expandir su trabajo en la región de Iberoamérica.

Foro Iberoamericano por la Paz
El Foro Iberoamericano por la Paz es una cumbre de las naciones de habla española y portuguesa de Europa y las Américas organizada por la Alianza Iberoamericana por la Paz. El encuentro reúne a académicos, organizaciones de la sociedad civil, activistas, organizaciones de derechos humanos y organizaciones gubernamentales y no gubernamentales en torno al tema de la paz en la región iberoamericana. El Foro se presenta a sí mismo como "un espacio de debate para que los ciudadanos tengan una discusión significativa y transformadora sobre la paz, los derechos humanos, el desarme y temas relacionados".

A la cumbre celebrada en 2021 en Castellón, España, asistieron personas de Argentina, Brasil, Guatemala, España, Bolivia, Chile, México, Venezuela, Perú, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Guatemala, Uruguay, Cuba, República Dominicana, Colombia, Honduras, y otros países como Italia, Haití, Estados Unidos, Líbano y Rumanía. Se organizó en colaboración con el Centro de Investigación, Defensa y Promoción de los Derechos de la Niñez y la Adolescencia (ILÊWASI) y la Universidad Jaume I de Castellón.

Three years ago, I wrote a post about the nature of blogging as I'd experienced it. In it––amidst some rambling speculation about the human condition in time and space––I touched on some reasons why I preferred keeping a blog to keeping a journal. More specifically, I talked about why I'd sworn off journal keeping altogether in my mid teens. The reason was basically that when I wrote just for my own eyes––without an audience to maintain appearances for––I tended to become extremely introspective and depressed. So, since I was sixteen, I'd never written another word in a journal. Until ten months ago.
Finishing college put me in a somewhat retrospective mood for a few weeks, during which I started to wish I had some better record of the things I'd done in the past few years. Sure, my blog had the actual events, but I started to wish I could recall what smaller events and decisions caused them to happen, what I thought in the time leading up to them, where I thought they might lead... etc. I also figured I was old enough now to be able to not project my emotions into it too much. So, with the commitment to write faithfully for a year and remain as objective as possible, I went to Barnes & Noble and bought an Italian leather-bound journal.
That was May of 2012, and in just two months now, I will have a year's worth of entries. I also feel like I've been at least somewhat successful in not letting my entries be controlled by my emotions in the moment. And you know what?
It's still really freaking depressing.
At first I didn't understand how this could be. I'd been careful not to let how I felt dictate what events I included, and while I hadn't completely omitted all reference to my emotions, I'd gone out of my way to include some positive things to balance the negative.
Now, it's possible I've just had a really bad year, but I feel like there's more to it than that. Today I was reading an old post from my blog, and it caused me to think about what a hugely different experience reading old blog posts that I've written is from reading back in my journal. Just jumping into my journal anywhere leaves me feeling disillusioned and depressed within a few pages. Reading my blog, on the other hand, tends to have a very re-focusing, confidence-restoring, if not quite up-lifting effect on me.
Why is that? I was asking myself that yesterday afternoon after finishing up at work, and I had a thought that I don't think I'd had before. Even though my journal and my blog are both about my life, they offer completely different perspectives, and so completely different narratives of the same thing.
When I write in my journal, I tend to record things that I'm working towards. Things that I'm hoping to do. If I'm planning on going on a vacation, I'll write that I'm making plans for a vacation. If I'm applying for a job, I'll write that I'm applying for a job. If I meet someone and hope to get to know them better, I'll write that I'm hoping to get to know them better.
Contrast that with my blog. When I write about my life on my blog, I write about events, aka things that have already occurred. When I climbed a mountain two weeks ago, I didn't write a post about how I was planning on climbing a mountain; hoped I'd climb a mountain, had expectations for climbing a mountain. I didn't even think about writing something on my blog about climbing a mountain until while I was on the mountain.
So basically, and without my conscious intent, my blog and my journal become two very different stories about the same thing. My journal becomes a records of my life as I'm trying to make it; my life as I hope it will be; my life as I plan it. My blog becomes a record of my life simply as it has been.
The problem with the first record is that––for me anyways––it inevitably leads to despair. Most of the things that I work toward, plan and hope will happen just don't happen. So reading about them in the present, when I can see how they didn't happen, not to mention see what happened instead (which often tends to be insultingly ironic in light of what I'd hoped) is really depressing.
When I read the second record though, i.e. my blog, I see only the progression of events that have actually happened. When I see that progression––completely removed from the fact that most of it's not what I expected, planned or hoped for––it doesn't seem nearly as bad. In fact, it's almost easy to look at it as some kind of great and terrible adventure.
Failure, it seems to my anyway, only exists within the context of expectations. And the same life that looks dismal in light of what I'd hoped it would be actually looks pretty grand by itself. I'm not saying I understand how that can be, but it seems it is.
And that's why I'll probably stop the whole journal thing at the one year mark in a couple months. The blog, I think will stay around a bit longer.
I want to remember my life––but only from a certain perspective.
I'm always interested to hear reasons why people Don't journal. I have journaled religiously since 2006 and have gone through prayer journaling, This Was Today writing, and journaling out of obligation. Journaling has been the most helpful for me when I find myself with feelings or ideas that I want to keep private but that I want to express or articulate. I'm a verbal processor, and writing helps me think. I also enjoy looking back on what was going on during my life, but I hate having the stories I'm not proud of written in ink. I still think they are valuable, though, because they show where I've come from.
Your experience is different from mine, and I think the conclusions you came to about Not journaling is an obviously good idea. And I'm glad you have the format of your blog to use as you do.
Thanks for sharing and for making me pause to think about if there are any unhealthy trends in my own writing.
That's great that you've been doing it for that long Lindsay, and I can definitely see some ways that it's helpful. (I want to be really clear: I didn't write this to try to convince anyone they shouldn't journal or that it's bad or anything vaguely like that).
Now that you mention it, I can actually think of a few times when journaling has helped me think through something and see connections I'm not sure I otherwise would have. Maybe a better approach for me personally would be to keep a journal, but never read it, lol.

Call me a geek, but I checked out some of the new videos just to make sure the same music was still there. I'm happy it is, because I LOVE that music (and I don't really even know why). After watching a video to do an SSD replacement on an iMac or adding a drive to the Mini, I hum that song for a few days afterward . . .

'Five Nights at Freddy's'-Related 'Sister Location' Gets its First Trailer, and it's Pretty Creepy
May 22nd, 2016 Phil Williams Gaming, News, PC 0 comments
By the time the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise is done, it will probably be more lucrative than the actual Chuck E. Cheese chain. Because what kid wants to be a kid, when they can feel all grown-up by playing games that scare the hell out of them?
Scott Cawthon has now released the newest trailer for Five Nights At Freddy's: Sister Location, a new spin-off from the main Five Nights At Freddy's series. The trailer puts a strong focus on the new animatronics and their underground location.
The tagline featured on a teaser website said: "There was never just one."
Some speculate that players will be a security guard at an underground military facility where they'll need to protect themselves against a new set of deadly, possessed animatronic puppets.
We briefly get to see what looks like an elevator security station quickly descending. It appears to have a fan overhead and a security console at the front. The setup looks similar to other Five Nights At Freddy's titles, where players are in a single location and must micromanage their survival using a few tricks and hiding techniques.
The first Five Nights at Freddy's debuted in August 2014 on PC and has since been ported to iOS.
Three sequels have been released since, while spinoff Five Nights at Freddy's World came out in January this year. However, it was removed from sale after complaints that it had been released too early and felt unfinished.
Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location is presumably in development for PC and is due out this fall. What are you hoping to see from it? Let us know in the comments below!

How Older Black Americans Can Manage Finances During the Pandemic
The lingering coronavirus is forcing older Black Americans to look much closer at their finances, including income stability, debt and retirement savings.
A recent report from AARP reveals that some 80% of Blacks are concerned about COVID-19 and its financial impact versus 47% of whites (See AARP infographic chart). The powerful nonprofit, which has more than 38 million members and focuses on issues affecting individuals over the age of 50, connected with BLACK ENTERPRISE on how to build and preserve Black wealth during these tumultuous times.
Much of the concern about the finances of the 50-plus demographic is being fueled by forces such as rising unemployment and uncertainty about how long the pandemic will devastate the economy. Those developments have made millions of Americans—including Blacks—increasingly worried about their prospects for retirement than in previous years.
Large numbers of individuals continue to witness the dramatic decline of the value of their retirement portfolios. Some are concerned about whether they will have to shelve retirement plans while others question if they will be able to retire at all. As such, the fallout has raised fresh fears from older individuals as they re-examine how to prepare for their golden years.
Yet, there are actions African Americans can take to help improve the status of their financial future.
Shani Hosten, vice president of Multicultural Leadership for African American/Black Strategy & Outreach at AARP, shared her perspective on how African Americans—especially those 50 or older—can maneuver myriad financial challenges in the current pandemic-driven climate.
She points out that COVID-19 has changed how people interact with the world and manage their finances daily. AARP research shows the current environment has resulted in greater debt and financial worries for Black Americans 50-plus compared to the general population. For example, she says, nearly a quarter of them have had trouble paying their bills during the pandemic and 43% are concerned they might have to use retirement savings to pay for necessary expenses.
"This community is staying home more to protect their health and that of others so their reliance on technology has significantly increased. Digital resources and tools have been and will continue to be essential for managing finances as the pandemic continues."
So, how can individuals engage in financial planning? Hosten says AARP believes in providing the 50-plus community with sustainable resources, tips and tools that will have both short-term and long-term impacts. For example, in the short-term, she says, the organization is encouraging older adults to take inventory of monthly expenses and eliminate unnecessary items at this time.
For those who have recently lost a job, she suggests enhancing their LinkedIn profiles and learning new digital communication platforms, like Zoom, through online training available on sites like Coursera and YouTube. She maintains the adoption of such skills has always been important, but they are more vital than ever given the pandemic.
For long-term planning, many older adults are concerned that the pandemic will force them into early retirement—if it has not already—but the question is whether they can afford to. She says many resources can support retirement planning and help you boost retirement savings, including AARP's Ace Your Retirement experience. "I believe these tools address the unique financial challenges presented by COVID-19 and that those same tools will also provide lasting benefits beyond the pandemic," Hosten says.
And with the prolonged nature of COVID-19 and its ongoing impact on the economy and employment, Hosten talked about resources AARP has provided or will introduce for its members to improve money management practices and get them ready for other potential challenges, including healthcare.
Hosten says AARP has been committed to helping individuals achieve financial resilience for years. She noted a great resource offered by AARP Foundation to help achieve this in such trying times is its Fintech for Financial Resilience program, which was created in collaboration with JPMorgan Chase. "Digital and fintech tools can help us accomplish everyday money management tasks without extra stress." She added the Fintech site has a host of instructional and interactive resources for anyone to explore.
She says additional resources that AARP also offers are always available including its Black Community page, which provides resources and tools across all areas that impact the African American 50-plus community. Another is the AARP Money Map, which helps anyone 18-plus create a plan of action for managing debt and keeping their finances on track.
"We also continually update our website, aarp.org/coronavirus, daily since March with critical news and information Americans 50-plus and their families need to know regarding their health, well-being, and finances during this time," Hosten says.

Depression is a mental disorder characterized by drop of mood and loss of ability to feel joy. A low self-appraisal, loss of interest in the life and habitual activity are also symptoms of depression.
Anyone can have troubles and exactly at these moments a person can fall in a depressed mood. You can pass a psychological test and define what level of inclination to depression you have. It should be noted that symptoms and signs of maniac depression (bipolar affective disorder) somewhat differ, therefore it cannot be considered in the context of this test.
Our psychological test contains 20 simple questions, for example, "Do you often get into a situation when you feel like quitting everything?"

Happy to help :) The phrase "far from being" indicates that we have a shift sentence, or that the second part of the sentence will contrast the first part. What are we comparing? Well, we're comparing the word in the blank in the first part to "the growing role" being played by researchers mentioned in the second part. We therefore want a word that opposes the idea of having an expanding presence in the corporate world. "Immure" means to imprison or build a wall around, which does not fit the context of the sentence. A better option (and the correct answer) is "banished from", as getting removed from the corporate world directly contrasts the idea of becoming more integrated into that world.
Hi Yixiu, I'm sorry we've taken so long to reply to your question! "Immured in" meas to become "confined in" or "imprisoned in" something. So if we chose "immured in", the sentence would be saying that the researchers are becoming trapped in the corporate world, and they cannot leave. That doesn't really make sense with the rest of the sentence. With this choice, the sentence would be saying that "rather than being trapped in the corporate world, researchers are playing a growing role in innovation at many firms." The contrast here doesn't make sense, so this answer choice is not correct.


Home Front Commander Maj. Gen. Tamir Yadai took part today in a conference of new local authority heads and reviewed the role of Home Front Command in preparing local emergency authorities.
"There's no dispute that the threat to the Israeli home front in the next war will be very challenging," Yadai said at an Interior Ministry conference in Ashkelon.
According to him, 2019 will see a more complex and challenging threat to Israel. Along with capabilities we know from the past, there is another geo-strategic reality presenting us with other challenges and threats. The issue is not the weapon, with which we are familiar, but the intensity. The Middle East is now organized differently.
"There is a possibility of fronts opening both in the north and in the south, because we know of attempts at coordination," Maj. Gen. Yadai said. "In the coming confrontation there will be no more fighting in the north or Gaza while they drink coffee in Tel Aviv."


"Grease" is one of the most popular plays for high school and community theater groups, but some of the items required are a bit challenging. One common issue is the crown like curler headpieces used in the dream sequence during the song "Beauty School Dropout". You just can't find those giant plastic curlers anymore. Well, Beauty and the Beast Costumes, Chattanooga hit upon an answer: Pool Noodles!
We chose only the blue pool noodles because we knew the paint would get knocked off in time and blue seemed less noticeable with silver than green or orange. Each hat with 'curlers' in this arrangement requires 2 noodles and one hat for a base. We used felt derby hats with the brims cut away as they came in a larger size that would be easier to fit a variety of head sizes for quick on and off back stage costume changes. Ball caps, sailor gob hats or any rounded top hat would work.
Measure and mark noodles into 4 inch lengths. Cut with an electric carving knife. Our first thought was to paint each noodle before cutting, but quickly found it is more efficient to assemble and then paint.
Hot Glue 12 'curlers' in a circle around the hat. Start with the center front and center back to make sure they are arrange evenly around the hat. Glue curlers to each other as well as to the hat for stability.
Glue 6 curlers in pyramid shape to the top. (3 on bottom row, 2 in the middle then 1 on top) Add two more to the sides for a more appealing overall shape.
This uses a total of 20 curlers per crown. Pool noodles are 48 inches long and each one yields 12 4" curlers. Allow 2 noodles per hat for "oopsy" allowance when measuring and cutting.
Spray each crown with a base coat of white to help the metallic paint stick better. Spray bright silver paint over all surfaces.
I hope to upgrade these by adding glitter before the next group does this play, but ran out of time on this project.
To add Glitter, water down any white glue until it will go through a disposable plastic spray bottle. About 1 part glue to 6-8 parts water tends to do the trick. Spray glue mixture over one hat and sprinkle with glitter, allow to dry. Turn hat upside down and shake onto newspaper to re claim any loose glitter. Spray generously with Gloss coat.
Repeat as necessary to achieve desired amount of glitz.
If you don't want glitter all over, you can dilute glue with 1 to 1 ratio of water and paint stripes or patterns on the curlers, then add glitter and gloss coat as described. This method uses less glitter but more time.

Our View: Improving the investment in Olympic College
Kitsap Sun editorial board
It would be nearly impossible to transform our state's K-12 public education system to include the first two years of college, given the current challenge in providing the state's paramount duty through high school. Yet the fact is that Olympic College and other community or technical colleges in the state are an extension of high school.
That occurs in positive ways — Running Start allows students to get a leg up on college credits as juniors or seniors — and in negative ways — more than 50 percent of OC students must take some kind of remedial course, most often math.
Our local community college is a shining example of how to successfully serve a region. Olympic College has created programs in response to specific workplace needs, like its mechanical engineering and IT degrees that put grads to work in our community; the school has increased recruitment and retention efforts for students without a family history gaining higher education, and done so with programs like MESA, which directs students toward transfer opportunities in math, engineering, science and technology majors; and building projects planned or underway on campuses in Bremerton, Poulsbo and Shelton are expanding the physical capabilities for new programs or popular courses. Finally, according to OC President David Mitchell, the school is also shifting its emphasis to "outcome, not just input and enrollment." That is, the school will judge itself on whether its students graduate and transfer to four-year institutions, and whether they get a job in a chosen field.
But that task is made more difficult when students arrive unprepared. Olympic College President David Mitchell told our board that there's very little attrition among students who arrive prepared or are able to catch up, and those find relevant programs with more certain job prospects.
The state's community and technical colleges are asking for about $200 million in operating funds from the Legislature this session, of which about $6 million would come to OC's three campuses. It's a sound investment and our legislative delegation — which has been a great ally in reducing tuition and funding physical improvement in recent years — should support it.
But legislators debating the nearly $25 billion request for K-12 education in Gov. Inslee's budget should heed the desperate call from Mitchell about remedial instruction. Community colleges using their staff resources on repeating work that should have been done at the high school level exposes a serious flaw in the system. It slows down the otherwise efficient system OC has built, where students are being led to careers right here in Kitsap and Mason counties. Any debate over standards and testing needs to include this galling fact — and high school math, which Mitchell cited as a common skill where kids are behind, needs to improve if we're going to really meet McCleary's demand. That means standards that match with college entrance requirements, and spending on things that make a difference — like teacher pay that attracts talented personnel in those high-demand subjects.
OC's experience shows a trickle-down problem that hinders its vision. The need for more skilled workers in Puget Sound is vital and Olympic College is on the vanguard of fostering the minds that will fill those jobs. But the school's role in playing catch-up slows down its much needed progress.
The Legislature should acknowledge the impact OC and other community and technical colleges by fully funding the operating request of $200 million, keeping "13-14" education as a priority nearly on par with K-12, and acknowledge the preparedness flaw that has exposed so we can fix the correct problems.

Many people misunderstand 'disruption' as negative as it's something that which might be considered as a hurdle in achieving goals or completing tasks. However, in the digital world it might be a blessing in disguise. Don't be bamboozled by the term Digital Disruption as in reality, it's only a negative change for those who try to ignore it or try to fight it and those who choose to embrace it often find it to be benefiting their business in various ways, which ultimately lead to success.
Digital disruption is a revolution that is caused by evolving digital technologies. These innovative technologies can affect the value of existing products and services that are offered in the industry. This is why the term 'disruption' is being used as the emergence of these new digital products which disrupts the current market and creates the need for re-evaluation.
• It needs to be a disruption – that is, a threat to your personal or business goals in the short term or long term.
• It has to somewhat relate to digitalization – for example, something related to the Internet of Things (IOT), a new technology, some mobile application, or anything related to the evergreen digital evolution.
A digital revolution that arises in due course of daily life and threatens to delay, obstruct or destroy personal or business goals is called a Digital Disruption.
An example of digital disruption is the way Netflix is gobbling up the profits of television companies around the world. Until a few years ago, people would watch shows only on televisions. These shows were broadcasted to their TV sets by television broadcasting companies. Since there were only a few players, they could charge higher advertisement rates and higher subscription rates. With the entry of Netflix, the mode of delivery of videos has changed.
One of the simplest examples is the disruption created by cab companies like Uber to private fleets of taxis. The regular taxis banked upon hand signals while plying empty on roads, or simply waiting at a taxi stand for passengers to turn up. With Uber coming up with a mobile app to book cabs/taxis, there has been a substantial digital disruption to regular taxis.
What is the digital disruption in this case? Well, a digital app that has come up to eat into the customer base of regular taxis that still rely on taxi stands or roam on roads to pick up passengers. On the other hand, the customers instead of waiting for a taxi at the roadside or flashing to the nearest taxi stand, now use the Uber's mobile app to book a cab that picks them up right from where they are.


Custom Molding is a process used to manufacture hollow, seamless plastic parts. Parts are long lasting, durable, lightweight and resistant to corrosion. A finished part can be constructed using numerous molded pieces. For example: The SkyShed Pod www.skyshedpod.com is a designed product that is molded in sections to create a top of the line finished product.
Common molded parts include containers, leisure craft, furniture, sporting equipment, agricultural and garden equipment, tanks, toys, medical and industrial equipment, as well as automotive and transportation components. SPI uses rotational molding for the manufacturing of several product lines including: indoor and outdoor playground, livestock waterer, and many custom molding projects.
If you stop and consider all the plastic components you see and use on a daily basis, there's no denying that plastic is a dominant material seen in our everyday life. The computer you sit and work at is built with plastic, several components of your vehicle are designed with plastic, children's' toys, playground equipment; each of these is built with some variation of plastic.
No chance of rust. Rusting will never be an issue with plastic, while even stainless steel is prone to rust in welded areas.
Plastic can handle several chemical components, which makes it the perfect solution for tanks and additional containers. Plastics can also be designed so that they are fire-resistant, static-resistant, and weather-resistant as well.
Because plastic is a much lighter material than metal, operating equipment that has plastic components means less fuel is required which lowers your costs.
Plastic is usually cheaper than metal to purchase. Due to the fact that rotational molding provides the ability to design one-piece construction, assembly duration, and assembly fees, as a result, are much lower.
Plastic components will not dent as they are very resistant to impact of any kind. Plastic parts can also be reinforced with inserts in high-stress spots.
Molding plastic isn't enough; SPI offers the talents and strength of a full service company ready to meet your challenges and requirements. There are many products both created and used each day throughout the world that can be adapted and/or enhanced by rotational molding techniques.
Our custom molding can effectively produce small to large, and simple to intricate parts. At SPI, we'll work with you to determine the requirements of your unique project, ensuring each aspect of your final product reflects those specifications.
Trust is essential to the success of any business. If you have a clear vision in relation to a specific custom molding project, you must be able to rely on a reputable manufacturer for your vision to come to life. Deadlines and quality levels are set and all aspects of the project are discussed to ensure total satisfaction.
At SPI, we are committed to providing our clients with premium products and services from the moment we discuss the details of your custom molding project, through to completion. You can rely on our professional team to deliver promised deadlines throughout every step of the project. Whether it is completing the design phase, the product development phase, or the assembly of the final product, we'll be in direct communication with you to keep you informed and up to date on the progress.

Apple TV+'s Suspicion Trailer Teases a High Stakes Kidnapping Investigation
By Kathryn Porter | January 11, 2022 | 5:02pm
Photos Courtesy of Apple TV+ TV News Suspicion
The first trailer for Suspicion has arrived.
Based on the award-winning Israeli series False Flag, the Apple TV+ series follows four British citizens as they are investigated for the kidnapping of an American businesswoman's son. Rob Williams, best known for The Man in the High Castle, serves as showrunner as well as executive producer alongside Chris Long, who produced The Americans.
The ensemble cast for Suspicion includes Uma Thurman, Kunal Nayyar, Noah Emmerich, Georgina Campbell, Elizabeth Henstridge, Tom Rhys-Harries, Elyes Gabel, and Angel Coulby.
In a press release, Apple TV+ details the show as following what happens "When the son of a prominent American businesswoman (Thurman) is kidnapped from a New York hotel, [and] the eye of suspicion quickly falls on four seemingly ordinary British citizens who were at the hotel on the night in question. As they find themselves in a trans-Atlantic cat-and-mouse race to evade the combined forces of the National Crime Agency and the FBI to prove their innocence, it becomes apparent that not everyone can be trusted. Who is really behind the mysterious abduction, and who is only guilty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time?"
Suspicion premieres February 4th on Apple TV+.
