Our start-up of the week is Laundrie, a dry cleaning and laundry on-demand app launched in Dublin and rolling out nationwide in 2016. The smartphone service will allow users to get their suits and jackets cleaned with just a few clicks.
Laundrie was developed by a young Irish entrepreneur, Evan Gray, who spotted an opportunity in the market for such a convenient service. People’s lives are becoming increasingly busy and, therefore, they are looking for ways to save time and hassle. Consumer demand encourages services to evolve and adapt to shopper’s needs and these insights brought about the development of the unique service of Laundrie.
This premium dry-cleaning and laundry service collects and delivers directly to the customer, with a 48-hour turnaround time. Laundrie provides free delivery and collection for all orders over €20.
“Through the Laundrie App we want to change the way dry cleaning and laundry is done,” Gray explains. “A customer simply downloads the app, books a collection and delivery time to suit (up to 10pm anywhere in Dublin), and they receive their clothes back in 48 hours. No more rushing out to make it before 6pm in the evening or having to run down on a Saturday morning only to leave their clothes for over a week.
Laundrie is specifically targeting professionals looking for efficiencies in their lives.
“Whether they’re currently using an ironing service or going to the local dry cleaner, Laundrie will improve their experience.
“The current model of a retail location on the high street with a fragmented owner-operator base across the country is greatly improved upon by Laundrie from a consumer and operator point of view. Our operation provides convenience, scalability and competitive pricing, therefore benefitting both the customer and us.
Gray worked in corporate finance at Dell for four years after leaving college where he studied business and law.
A customer downloads the app, then uses it to select what they need to have cleaned, and when and where they need a collection.
They next thing the customer sees is a Laundrie driver who’ll collect their items.
Through the app, they can track the exact process their clothes are going through, right up until they get their clean clothes delivered.
As Gray points out, in any new business, customer acquisition is a key challenge, particularly for a business where there’s quite a bit of trust involved.
“’Are these guys going to do a good job? Are they going to bring my clothes back’? etc. So this was always a large concern.
“But we’ve been surprised on the uptake going as well as it has. Many customers test Laundrie out, see the great results, and then reorder and give us a larger amount of clothes! The most important thing is our customer retention, which I’m happy to say is very strong.
Gray points out that the biggest challenge so far has been competition. Rocket Internet has just launched ZipJet in Dublin and will no doubt target the same geographies as Laundrie as time goes on.
Nevertheless, Gray has conviction, believes in his technology and accepts competition as the natural order of business.
He finds the start-up scene in Dublin to be extremely collaborative and helpful.

DAVOS, Switzerland - Pope Francis is urging political and business leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos to create the conditions "for building inclusive, just and supportive societies."
Francis sent meeting participants a message after he returned from a weeklong visit to Chile and Peru on Monday.
He wrote: "We cannot remain silent in the face of the suffering of millions of people whose dignity is wounded, nor can we continue to move forward as if the spread of poverty and justice had no cause."
The pope said "selfish lifestyles" full of "opulence" have boosted unemployment, increased poverty, created new forms of slavery and widened the socioeconomic gap in many places.
Political leaders, corporate chieftains, top labor advocates and others are convening in Davos, Switzerland, this week for the latest meeting of the World Economic Forum.
By rejecting "throwaway" culture and a "mentality of indifference," Francis said entrepreneurs have the potential to effect substantial changes, such as "creating new jobs, respecting labor laws, fighting against public and private corruption, and promoting social justice."
Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson discusses seeing his first NBA regular season action and scoring his first professional points.
The way Wednesday started for Duncan Robinson, he couldn’t have imagined that, by night’s end, he’d have his Miami Heat teammates congratulating him in the locker room for playing in his first NBA regular-season game and scoring his first professional points.
The 6-foot-8 forward on a two-way contract was first held out of morning shootaround with the Heat – to not count against his quota of 45 days allowed with an NBA team.
“I basically tell him, ‘Good luck. Have a great training camp in Sioux Falls,’” said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, expecting to send him off with Miami’s G League affiliate, Sioux Falls Skyforce.
Then, forward Justise Winslow, who was set to make his season debut on Wednesday against the New York Knicks, felt tightness in his right hamstring in warmups. Winslow was suddenly out of the mix, joining forwards James Johnson and Derrick Jones Jr. and guards Dion Waiters and Wayne Ellington.
To appreciate just how close Justise Winslow was to making his season debut Wednesday night against the New York Knicks, consider the perspective of Miami Heat teammate Josh Richardson.
Ninety minutes before tip at AmericanAirlines Arena, Robinson found out he was going to be made available to play. An hour before, the undrafted rookie out of Michigan learned he’d likely to get into the rotation.
At the 9:08 mark of the second quarter with center Bam Adebayo at the free-throw line and the Heat’s offense struggling, down 30-24, Robinson checked in with starting point guard Goran Dragic to replace swingman Rodney McGruder, leading the Heat in scoring to that point Wednesday, and Dwyane Wade, the franchise’s all-time leading scorer.
After three games decided by a total of five points, the Miami Heat were looking for a chance to exhale Wednesday night.
They found the right opponent.
After Adebayo hit his second free throw and the Knicks missed a 3-pointer, guard Tyler Johnson grabbed a rebound, came down the floor and dished to Robinson, who sank a three-pointer on his first NBA field-goal attempt.
Robinson played just under 10 minutes in the 110-87 win, finishing with those three points on 1-of-3 shooting and snagging four rebounds with one steal.
The nuancing of the two-way contracts of undrafted forwards Yante Maten and Duncan Robinson has begun for the Miami Heat.
With G League training camps opening, so has the 45-day limit that players on two-way contracts can spend in the NBA until the March 23 close of the G League regular season.
Robinson summed up the accomplishment, relaying a desire to produce many more career moments.
When the universe formed during the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago, the chemical reactions of the aftermath formed the first molecules. Those first molecules were crucial in helping form everything we know, but they’re also absent.
And although HeH+, the helium hydride ion, has been proposed for years as that first molecule, scientists couldn’t find any evidence of its existence in space — until now. The findings were published Wednesday in the journal Nature.
After the Big Bang, HeH+ formed in a molecular bond when helium atoms and protons combined. Later, these would break apart into hydrogen molecules and helium atoms. Both elements are the two most abundant throughout the universe, with hydrogen first and helium second.
Scientists were able to demonstrate the molecular ion in a lab in 1925 and study it, which sparked a decades-long search for HeH+ in space.
“The chemistry of the universe began with HeH+. The lack of definitive evidence of its very existence in interstellar space has been a dilemma for astronomy for a long time,” said Rolf Güsten, study author and astronomer at the Max Planck Institute for Radioastronomy, in a statement.
Astrochemical models in the late 1970s pointed to a detectable possibility. This led scientists to believe that HeH+ might exist in the chaotic planetary nebula ejected by stars like our sun during the last stage before they explode in a supernova.
The molecular ion is formed when the radiation of the star, reaching temperatures more than 100,000 degrees, ionizes the nebula.
But detecting the molecule’s signal at its strongest wavelength has been difficult. The opaqueness of Earth’s atmosphere rules out any ground-based telescopes.
So researchers used SOFIA, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, a modified Boeing jet carrying a telescope that can fly above the lower atmosphere.
A high-resolution spectrometer called GREAT on board SOFIA detected the molecule in the planetary nebula NGC 7027.
“The discovery of HeH+ is a dramatic and beautiful demonstration of nature’s tendency to form molecules,” said David Neufeld, study co-author and professor in the Physics and Astronomy Department at Johns Hopkins University, said in a statement.
Starting today, dozens of the most powerful names in tech, entertainment and business will head to the Motor City to celebrate the third annual Detroit Homecoming.
One of the biggest names attending the event is Jeffrey Seller, the Tony-award winning producer of the Broadway hit Hamilton.
The Oak Park native will be here to accept the Governor's Arts Award.
Other Detroiters include former Microsoft CEO and owner of the LA Clippers, Steve Ballmer along with Tony Fadell, one of the iPod creators and founder of Nest.
These big names all come together for the sake of celebrating their roots and pushing Detroit forward.
The alumni will come home to re-experience the city for the third year in a row and commit to investing time, intellect and money to help revitalize Motown.
Since the first event in 2014, Detroit expats have committed to investing more than $260 million for city projects and businesses.
Detroit Homecoming will last through the weekend.
Seven Action News is a proud sponsor of the event along with Kroger.
We will be following the events all week long.
The more things change, the more Scuderia Ferrari's red stays the same. Sure, it has added some white and some orange to its paint can over the years, but every factory Ferrari race car will be red. Always. It's a fine amalgamation of color as branding and advertising as art. The subluminal bar-code advertising is brilliant, too. Classic.
"I am tickled red, white, and blue to welcome you to our very special show, Intermission Accomplished: A Halftime Tribute to Trump," Jimmy Kimmel said on Monday's very special Kimmel Live. "We are here tonight to celebrate the midway mark of Donald Trump's first term in office — because let's be honest, this is a man who is far too humble to celebrate himself." He listed some of Trump's many accomplishments: "More than 6,000 tweets in office, at least half of those with no misspellings at all. More than 100 days on the golf course, keeping tabs on the environment. And let's not forget the election itself: Donald Trump got 62 million votes, second-most of any presidential candidate in 2016."
Kimmel ran through Trump's hagiography, Ken Bone (Josh Gad) made a cameo, and a group of dancers ended the intro with a spirited pro-Trump medley.
"This president has delivered so many poignant words, the best words, since he took office," Kimmel said. "Donald Trump has tweeted more than every other president in history combined — more than Washington, more than Lincoln even. And tonight we remember his most memorable lines," as sung by Leon Bridges. They've honestly never sounded sweeter.
Alyssa Milano popped in to hawk "Great Moments in Trump History" commemorative plates.
Kimmel also starred in a dark faux sit-com about Eric Trump (Paul Scheer) and Don Jr. (Will Arnett) hunting down the last lion in Africa.
This inspiring documentary also includes a feature on Sir Winston Churchill and his role in building the new Jewish state.
During his lifetime, Theodor Herzl was called everything from a hero, to a dreamer, to a heretic. But his influence on the Jewish people is undeniable. Known as the father of modern Zionism, Herzl spent his life trying to find a way to end anti-Semitism and create a Jewish state.
In the mid-nineteenth century, Palestine was marked by disease, poverty and despair. But that all changed when Jewish pioneers legally purchased, settled and developed the land of Israel. Spearheading the effort were the KKL-JNF (Jewish National Fund) and wealthy Jewish philanthropists from Europe, Sir Moses Montefiore and Baron Edmond De Rothschild.
A chemist by trade, Chaim Weizmann eventually became Israel's first international diplomat and Israel’s first President in 1948. Weizmann worked diligently to secure the United Kingdom’s support of the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine. He met with U.S. President Harry Truman to help secure American support for the new State of Israel.
Israel's founder and first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, learned the stories of the Bible as a child at his grandfather's knee; this love for the Bible would shape Ben-Gurion's views throughout his life. From studying Hebrew to farming early Jewish settlements to building a government, Ben-Gurion dedicated his life to an independent Jewish state.
Golda Meir went from being a schoolteacher in Wisconsin to the first female Prime Minister of Israel. Before Israel's independence, she was a key member of the Jewish leadership who negotiated the release of Holocaust orphans from British detention camps, held secret negotiations with Jordan's King Abdullah and raised $50 million to buy weapons for the Israeli army.
Did you know that it took just 32 minutes to restore independence to a people who had been without a country for 2,000 years? “Independence Day” is a close-up look at the little-known events that took place on the day the Jewish State of Israel was born -- May 14, 1948.
As a young man, Eliezer Ben-Yehuda had a vision. He believed he was to be the driving force behind the revival of Hebrew as a spoken language and bring it back to the land of his forefathers.
Most people know Winston Churchill as the “British Bulldog,” the Prime Minister who led Great Britain to victory in World War II. But a lesser-known story is one of Churchill, the lifelong friend of the Jewish people and one of the key players in the creation of the State of Israel.
Information stored on every desktop computer, smartphone and cloud server since 1995 could be accessed by hackers if two hardware bugs are exploited, a new report has warned.
On Wednesday, security researchers at Google Project Zero disclosed technical details on two security flaws that allow hackers to engage in unauthorized reads of a computer’s memory data, which may contain sensitive information such as passwords.
The researchers discovered that the vulnerabilities affect many CPUs, including those from Intel, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and ARM Holdings, as well as the devices and operating systems running on it.
The first method of attack, known as Spectre, can be exploited by hackers to dissolve the barrier that separates different applications and trick otherwise error-free applications into leaking information stored on their memory.
Last year, researchers demonstrated how hackers could utilize “speculative execution” – a technique used by most modern processors to optimize performance – to gain access to sensitive information.
In order to improve speeds, modern processors execute certain functions speculatively, or before it is known whether they are needed. The technique prevents the delay that would come from executing the functions after they are requested.
Jann Horn, a lead researcher for Project Zero who first reported both vulnerabilities, discovered that attackers can take advantage of this technique in order to read information on the system’s memory that should be inaccessible.
The second flaw, known as Meltdown, allows hackers to “melt” security boundaries between user applications and the operating system normally enforced by hardware. Hackers can exploit the vulnerability to gain access to the memory of other programs and the operating system, which could include passwords and other sensitive data.
In the original report, researchers said the vulnerability affects “virtually every user of a personal computer.” However, researchers at Google’s Project Zero have only been able to show that ‘Meltdown’ affects Intel microprocessors.
Gruss said Meltdown was the more serious attack, because it was easier for hackers to take advantage of. However, he said that Spectre was much harder to patch, and would be a bigger problem in the future.
In an overview of the attacks, researchers said it would be “unusual” for either attack to be blocked by an antivirus, since they are “hard to distinguish from regular benign applications.” Google said, however, that an attacker must first be able to run a malicious code on a computer before they can exploit the vulnerability.
In a blog posted Wednesday, Matt Linton, senior security engineer at Google, said there is “no single fix for all three attack variants,” but many vendors made several patches available Wednesday.
Google provided a list of their products that are vulnerable to the attacks, as well as their mitigation status. The company said as soon as they discovered the vulnerabilities, their security teams updated their systems and affected products to protect against the attacks.
Researchers also provided a link to software patches for Linux Windows, and OS X that guard against Meltdown attacks.
Microsoft released a patch Wednesday to protect customers against the vulnerabilities. However, the company said some anti-virus vendors will need to update their software to be compatible with the new patches.
Microsoft Patch is out: https://t.co/t3bIKOu1yR. Note that your AV vendor must set a special registry key! "Due to an issue with some versions of Anti-Virus software, this fix is only being made applicable to the machines where the Anti virus ISV has updated the ALLOW REGKEY."
The company has also released an emergency update for all devices running Windows 10, and further updates are planned. Microsoft also said they are in the process of deploying mitigations to cloud services. However, the fixes will also rely on firmware updates from Intel, AMD, and ARM.
Microsoft said they have not received “any information to indicate that these vulnerabilities had been used to attack our customers,” according to a statement to The Verge.
Amazon has also reportedly said they have protected most of their cloud servers from the vulnerabilities.
AppleInsider reports that Apple has already deployed a partial fix for the bug in MacOS 10.3.2 that was released last month.
