Have you had difficulties voting? Could tech help?
The right to vote is a crucial liberty which underpins democracy, but there are significant challenges in accessing elections for many disabled and vision-impaired voters.
In countries such as Australia and Estonia, voters with disabilities can cast their ballots from home where their support mechanisms are already in place.
However, there are few such systems in place in England which allow voters to retain their independence, requiring them to vote by proxy in the most extreme circumstances.
While polling stations are required by law to provide a tactile device for people with sight loss to vote, less than 1% of the visually impaired population in the UK uses braille.
Postal voting is available for disabled voters, but they do not help those who are unable to leave their homes or beds, and do not offer the visually impaired additional access.

The Welsh government has proposed pilots exploring the use of electronic voting in local elections and by-elections.
Areeq Chowdhury, the chief executive of the WebRoots Democracy think tank, has advocated the use of technology to drive inclusion when people go to the polls.
"Many voters with motor disabilities, vision impairments, and cognitive disabilities will struggle to cast a ballot without the aid of another.
"Some may not be as fortunate to have a significant other, or a carer to help them do so," he added.
Despite the potential for increasing access to elections, there are fears that electronic voting systems could allow hackers to influence the ballots.
Russian hackers are accused of targeting election-related systems in 21 US states during the 2016 presidential election.
In Germany, cybersecurity researchers warned in the days before their parliamentary elections that security flaws in counting machines' software were "trivial" to exploit and manipulate the result.

Marie Chadwick, Policy Officer at the Royal National Institute of Blind People, told Sky News: "It's unacceptable that today many blind and partially sighted people are still unable to vote independently and in secret.
"While having a large print reference copy of the ballot paper does help some, the current system is not properly enabling voters who cannot read the official ballot paper to cast their vote with confidence.
"Technology such as electronic voting could help eliminate the barriers that the paper-based voting system creates for some people with sight loss, allowing everyone to cast their vote independently and in secret."
Mr Chowdhury said: "Online voting would be more convenient for the majority of the population, particularly citizens abroad and those serving in the Armed Forces."
A study carried out by the think tank found that 30% of voters do not engage with elections due to the inconvenience of the current voting system.

As many people headed to the polls for the local elections, some with visual, physical or cognitive impairments may not have been able to cast an independent, secret ballot – as required by the Human Rights Act 1998.

Canelo-Golovkin: The time has come
Two of the world's most fearsome and hard charging fighters, Saul Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin will meet tonight in a clash that stands to be one of the most interesting in a very long time.
Alvarez is a Mexican prodigy while Golovkin, the ageing knock-out-specialist hails from Kazakhstan in Eastern Europe. A staggering four world titles, the WBA, WBC, IBF and the The Ring belts will be put on the line, in a fight that has given both bookmakers and pundits a hard time to decisively calculate. Of the pair, Golovkin is the undefeated and commands one of the highest knockout ratios in the history of the middleweight division. He has won all 37 of his fights, 33 of them by knockout.
Alvarez is only 27 years while Golovkin is 35. Nevertheless, despite being much younger it is Alvarez who has a longer and arguably compact professional record. He turned professional at the age of 15 in his home country whose boxing system's bull's eye is nothing other than turning pro. At only 27 years, Alvarez has already fought 51 fights, won 49 of them, drew one and lost one to Floyd Mayweather in a fight that calls to mind the Floyd Mayweather-Oscar de la Hoya bout with regards to the anticipation and excitement.
His real break was his 2013 fight with Austin Trout where the power and of the then 24 year old Alvarez floored Trout. The Mexican sensation has steadily risen and stepped up in class over the years racking up decisive wins and displaying exceptional ring generalship. Alvarez has drubbed over world champions it e form of Miguel Cotto and Sugar Shane Mosley whose scalps had been previously been claimed by Mayweather. Other world champs who have succumbed to the Alvarez power include the Cuban Erislandy Lara, Amir Khan, Julio Ceasar Chavez Jr, Josesito Lopez and Liam Smith.
On the other hand today's clash is viewed as Golovkin's real world class bout with a deserving client. Some argue that Golovkin's record was made after facing only journeyman fighters and is devoid of any tough world class opponents, an assertion that might hold some truth in it. The only real tough opponents who Golovkin has faced as stepped up in class are Kell Brook, David Lemiux, Willie Monroe, Curtis Steven's and Daniel Jacobs who are not really at the peak of the American boxing food chain.
The other blemish might be that after an unstoppable ascent, Golovkin's last fight against middleweight Daniel Jacobs went the distance and was adjudged by the judges, a clear and ill-timed break from his knockout streak. Today's clash will also be Golovkin's major league American fight in Las Vegas unlike Alvarez, who has already fought in Vegas, the Mecca of professional boxing about 6 times before. But, above all Supremacy, as the fight is billed has all the hallmarks of what it takes to be titled a fight of the century.
It invokes the magic and bravado that used to prevail in fights between Manny Paqcuiao and Juan Manuel Marquez in all their unprecedented four fights, the last being a decisive knockout delivered by Marquez in their last fight in 2012. Both boxers have never been knocked down in the professional careers. The fight will possibly offer high drama, hard punches, frenzied flurries and possibly a knock down or two an element that has been lacking in the sport since the likes of Paqcuiao and Marquez retired officially or into oblivion.

Question marks over Mayor's marathon

A section of troubled First Division South outfit, Mochudi Centre Chiefs are said to pulling out all stops to ensure that the club finally transitions into a company amid reports of instability and divisions.
According to a leaked letter from founders who are represented by Sexton Kowa and Ramocha Tsieng, the society has taken a decision to request Thapelo Tsheole who is currently the chairman, to hand over the team back to the society.
" Following the resolution passed by the members of the Mochudi Centre Chiefs Sporting Club(society) at its annual(AGM) held on the 18th August 2019 at Ntefo Conference facility in Mochudi to convert the society to a company limited by shares and with consent of the society, a company was duly incorporated on the 21st February 2020 being Mochudi Centre Chiefs (Proprietary) Limited, (the company) by six founders of the Society namely, Messrs, Aaron Ramosako, Molefi Sexton Kowa, Joel Mpete, Archie Aphiri, Rejoice Tlhowe, and Tshepo Aphiri (herein "The Funders" ), represented by Mr Molefi Sexton Kowa and Mr Ramocha Tsieng. The AGM further resolved that once the company was formed, the affairs of the society will be handed over to the company to manage," reads the part of the missive written to Tsheole.
Contacted for comment, Mochudi Centre Chiefs President, Thapelo Tsheole stated that he is yet to officially receive the letter but has seen it from a friend who has seen it circulating on social media. "I cannot comment on the issue further because it was shown to me by a friend who saw it circulating on social media; but we will give it the attention it deserves and I plead with Centre Chiefs faithful to be calm," he said.
The club president intends to keep his eyes on the ball: "We will handle the issue with the utmost respect because at the end of the day Mochudi Centre Chiefs brand should be the winner and this should always be our aim." Tsheole has been leading the side and was tasked with reviving the team and bringing them back to the elite league.
The circulating letter is a culmination of power struggle between Tsheole and the so-called founders of the club. Sources speaking with WeekendSport state that Tsheole wanted both Directors to cede 75 percent of their shares to society as he believes the transitional route from society to a company has been bypassed.
Tsheole officially raised his hand for the first time this year, in an attempt to bring an end to more than a decade of controversy over Chiefs' ownership, and appeared to have pinned his hopes on reaching an agreement with both Kowa and Ramotlhwa because of their status and good standing as former Chiefs' administrators.
However, those close to developments believed that Tsheole, who also leads Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE), was wasting his time trying to negotiate with the duo, who were already determined to resist all efforts. This follows unsuccessful negotiations where both Directors were alleged to have been left in utter shock concerning the approach and presentation of the Chairman.
While the two Directors would not be drawn to comment, it is said they are both hamstrung to divulge deeper details to Tsheole because of his ambition to transform the club. While Tsheole thought he was jumping off the hoops for the club, the two directors seem not to appreciate his efforts.
Tsheole, was reportedly surprised when he tried to register a commercial footballing company on behalf of Mochudi Centre Chiefs. He deliberately chose the 'Mochudi Centre Chiefs' name because of its popularity as it remains a brand country wide.He found out that the company name already exists and is under the directorship of both Kowa and Ramotsha.
While Mochudi Center Chiefs PTY LTD was registered sometime in February of this year, there was another company, Centre Chiefs PTY LTD, associated with the club which has been in existence since the early 1990s. This is the same company that acquired a 7 hector piece of land in Mochudi.
The company had 7 directors namely Victor Kowa as the Executive Chairman, Ezekiel Mooki who was appointed the Technical Director, Serake Mfolwe holding the post of director of Marketing and Public Relations, Simon Mmopi coming as Director of Development, MacLean Letshwiti holding the fort as Director of Finance, Sexton Kowa who was Youth Development Director, and Kgafela Kgafela who occupied the post of Director of Legal Affairs and Board Secreta.
Zebras midfielder, Mothusi Cooper is set to be one of the top paid players at his new club, Lusaka Dynamos, following his move from Township Rollers on a two-year deal with an option to extend by a year.
The 23 year-old who joined Township Rollers from Extension Gunners in 2018 has proved to be one of the best midfielders in the country. Cooper's new contract will see him smile all the way to the bank as he is expected to earn US$ 2500 monthly (about P25 000) with a winning bonus of US$ 350 (about P3 500) per game. The Tsabong-born player is said to have already received P250 000.00 signing-on fee from the club.
"At Rollers he was getting around P13 000 and with COVID-19 effects his pay had went down so he could not resist such an offer. He also had ambitions to play abroad so with such opportunities sometimes you have to take them because they may come once in a lifetime since football is a short career," said a source at Rollers.
Cooper, who was recently unveiled by Lusaka Dynamos has agreed personal terms with the club, but negotiations between the two clubs are yet to be completed. "Cooper is on his way to Zambia but we are yet to sign the final documents with Dynamos as we been negotiating with them. We are hopefully that everything will be signed any moment but we have agreed to let the player go since he agreed terms with the team," said Township Rollers club President, Jagdish Shah.
Lusaka Dynamos owner and director, Hanif Adams revealed that the deal is done and they will do everything to finalise pending matters. "We expect Cooper to be here this Friday and it will be up to the coach whether to play him or not when we face Green Eagles this weekend," revealed Hanif Adams who is a respected businessman in Zambia.
Zambian sports journalist, Puncherello Chama has cautioned Cooper that he will have to fight his way to be on the first eleven of his new side. "Cooper is an exciting player and he has impressed Zambians during our two games against Zebras and already fans this side are looking forward to see him in action but he will have to fight for a starting place in Patrick Phiri led team," he said.
"And should Cooper perform well this side I believe it will open more doors for other Botswana players to come this side, people should not undermine the Zambian league as it is ranked 7th in Africa and it has exported players all over the world in the past years."
Lusaka Dynamos who are nicknamed The Elite, are currently on 10th position in Zambian MTN Super League table and have lost their last game to Prison Leopards 4-2 but the club hopes to redeem itself this year when they take on Green Eagles Saturday (today).

The current crop of Zebras strikers is arguably apocryphal, and the vicissitude engulfing the national team has rendered them to a 'milk and water' status – very weak! Zebras is currently playing AFCON qualifiers and the team has scored a mere two goals in four matches!
Don't be fooled by the 1-0 win against Zambia recently, it's just an eye wash, win and loss in football are like Kith and Kin – the bottom-line is that our strikers are evidently gentlemen at large!
This damning conclusion on the senior men National Team is deduced from the lethargic performances since the maiden appearance at the AFCON 2012. It is a fact that the frontline attack has grown toothless since returning from their maiden AFCON cup qualifiers in February of 2012.
This is not just a squawk about Zebras strike force without basis. To steer clear of any assumed malice, here is why every firm football fan could be steamed up right now – ever since the disappearance of striker Jerome Jay Jay Ramatlhakwane, none of the selected strikers is hitting the net consistently as he once did! They have all literally failed to step into JJ shoes.
Between the 2015 and 2019 AFOCN Qualifiers, it has been uninspiring performances from the Zebras men in front of the goals. The strikers have played nine (9) rounds of games and they have scored only twice. While we could be stirring up a hornet's nest with this matter of fact write-up, we are prepared to stick to our guns – the current crop of strikers is failing the national team.
It shouldn't appear we trying to stretch the truth. Let's look at the 2012 qualifying rounds, Zebras played eight (8) games and scored seven (7) times. Striker Jay Jay alone found the net five (5) times hence ascending to the summit of the top scorers' list in Africa alongside deadly Senegalese striker, Mamadou Niang. At a personal level, this was a wonderful, hard-earned moment of sporting grace for the monstrous built striker whose body built suited his Zebras role to a T. His scoring ability remains unmatched up to now.
For far too long, The Zebras players, strikers to be more precise, have become little more than spectators in any African Cup of Nations qualifying scoring race. By extension, the future of scoring players mirrors a tomorrow that may never come. Ever since the remarkable and buccaneering record set during the wonderful seasons of striker Jerome Ramatlhakwane in 2011, The Zebras striking force has been nothing but a blunt knife – this is for the record.
Here is the sum and substance of our situation at the Zebras – four (4) AFCON finals passed without anybody hitting the net consistently. Other than trying and experimenting with a handful of strikers, our tiny land locked country struggled to find its way out of a mediocre zone.
But along the visible lines of pedestrian performances, the name of Jerome Ramatlhakwane remains popular in this country and by extension, Southern Africa. Believe it or not, Jay-Jay as he is popularly known, has built a legacy for himself that is unrivalled.
He is arguably one of the most highly acclaimed footballers this country has birthed, albeit with little success due to lack of exposure and many other obstacles the robust player has experienced in his football career. Ramatlhakwane has been both the darling and the villain in the media and in the country for the display he provides on the field of play.
With the senior national team failing to score goals, one wonders how Jay-Jay used to find the back of the net with such ease. Records are here for everyone to see but as Mark Twain argued, 'facts are stubborn and statistics are pliable.'
With a career spanning from 2006 till date, Jay-Jay is Botswana's all-time leading goal scorer, having found the back of the net on 21 occasions, with 53 caps under his belt and counting. Jay-Jay's skill as a box striker is second to none; the striker is a marvel to watch on the field of play. His agility and sheer love of the game gives him an aura of a warrior on the battlefield.
That is why it is hard to comprehend why Jay-Jay is still a local player, why scouts haven't scooped him up. A player of his calibre and the skill he possess as a finisher makes it obvious that he could be destined for greater things. Jay-Jay would make for a pronounced addition to any international club.
Hot on his heels is Botswana's poster boy, Diphetogo Selolwane who hanged his boots post the 2012 AFCON showpiece. He has 18 goals from 68 caps in a football career that kick started in 1998.
In terms of play, Selolwane and Tshepiso Molwantwa, the famous jersey number 9 owner, are better than Jay-Jay but when it comes to statistics, Jay-Jay has the upper hand, this leaves one to ponder; is this what Mark Twain meant when he argued that statistics can be bent?
It's a shock to learn that Molwantwa has won himself 44 international caps but only 8 recognized goals. We take a dim view of Molwantwa when it comes to goals scored but take heart in his selfless maneuvers on the field of play.
In modern Botswana football, Omaatla Kebatho of Orapa United and the late Oliver Phikati have all failed to rise to the occasion and with coaches not willing to give Teenage Orebonye enough opportunities, the Zebras' striking situation has been a well-documented issue that portrays how and why The Zebras have failed to move up in the world rankings. JJ should have shown some of these players the ropes.
There seems to be no striker who will soon surpass Jay-Jay. The likes of Jomo Moatlhaping and Joel Mogorosi who have practically retired may have given the dominant striker a run for his money. Mogorosi is sitting third on the rankings with 14 goals from 79 appearances.
Only Onkabetse Makgantai can turn the tide on Jay-Jay's story, should he come to the party. Onkabetse stands at 12 international caps with 5 goals, a far cry from what Jay-Jay resume reads. But in a squad that is losing its renowned defensive stability, Jerome can still score top marks in all aspects of the game, especially when he is working with a crafty midfielder.
Looking back at that goal reel, if ever there is one, in among the bullet headers, the tap-ins, the dinks and spins, there is a sense of man constructing a monument for himself. For Jay-Jay, the 2012 AFCON showpiece may have been the last significant mark to pass. One that may not, all things considered, be surpassed. All the hope we have on the current crop of strikers – just a shot in the dark!


I travelled all around California for 4 weeks during July and August. This trip did something to me. I would have always said that I was an East Coast chick. That New York would forever be my stomping ground of choice. That I thrive in the fast pace, that the bright lights inspire me, that the big apple satisfies my appetite. Well all that is still true, I do love New York but I now know that I am no longer an East Coast Princess. Instead my heart, my head and my soul belong to the West. I have never felt more at home than I did in California. The insane weather, the relaxed people, the Vitamin Sea. The trip has changed me and I'll go a bit more into a bit later. But here is me dancing like a fool during one of the most beautiful sunsets that I have ever, ever, ever seen.
I have made more time for friends- both old and new. I feel more secure in my friendships and this is something that I want to post more about in the upcoming weeks. I have felt so isolated for quite a long while and as a person that thrives when surrounded by people it has been really tough. It has also completely my own doing. I felt that I had to be alone to 'work on myself'. Well I'm ready to be social butterfly once again and these wings are ready to stretch out once again.
I have spent action packed and gloriously lazy days with my beautiful family. They are my rock and every moment I get to spend with them are ones that I treasure. I have truly learnt that your friends are your family and that your family are your friends. It is a beautiful realisation to have!
I have read. I mean I have read a lot of books. Nothing fills me with a deeper sense of satisfaction and joy. Whilst I love to be surrounded by people and noise and chaos I have relearnt how to be alone, how to be board, how to entertain myself and find comfort in different worlds and people that have been created by author's words on a page.
It hasn't all been joy and swimming costumes and novels. There have also mean really crippling tough moments over the past few months too. And I want to examine these in greater depth in some future blog posts too. But for now, I feel really ready to bring back the P.O.H series. I'm ready to keep exploring what happiness truly means to me and ways that I can increase its presence in my life.
When I sit down to assess how I am feeling right now I realise that I have been noticing some unfriendly feelings and thoughts creeping their way back in with more frequency and urgency. I don't want to go back to square one again. This process has taught me that I need to step in earlier to get myself back on track and to stop me from derailing.
I hope you are ready too. I hope that these posts are just as useful for you, as they are for me. Let's share ideas, tips, tricks and continue to give one another hope. I truly believe that there is no better gift than that of hope. Let's spread it like wild fire.
With the re launch of the P.O.H series I have decided to keep my November goals simple so that I should be able to stick to them. Simplicity is sometimes the only thing a gal needs!
Throughout September and October I have been working on my sleep. Getting more of it, making sure it's the best quality that I can have, and setting up good patterns to remove the stress from sleeping. I want to keep this up. I have worked out that I must have between 8 and 9 hours a night. Anymore I feel groggy, any less and I feel significantly more anxious. For November, I want to simply make myself a cup of herbal tea before bed and read at least one chapter of the book that I am reading. It is such a simple goal to have but nothing sets me up for sleep more than a hot drink and some reading!
The tech has slowly crept back in. My bedroom was once a technology free haven. I used to turn it of at 9pm on the dot and revel in the time switched off from the world. Well 9 turned to 10 which has now once again become never. I want to spend a lot less time on social media, reading blogs and falling asleep to YouTube videos has to stop! My concentration has plummeted. I can do it for about 5 minutes and then I find myself reaching for my phone and there I am in the dark hole of Dr Pimple Popper videos at 2am. It is always in my hand. I need to become less dependant.
I have always loved cosy time in my flat by myself. But I'm finding that I spending more of my time off and possible adventure time keeping myself in my flat, afraid that if I venture out or go somewhere new something will go wrong. The thing I loved most about California was the sense of freedom and adventure that it gave me. It reminded me that it is what I love to do. I didn't think twice about jumping in a car and spending a few hours exploring somewhere new. I survived, in fact I thrived. I want a little bit more of this feeling in my life. I want to get to at least one brand new place this month. I have the cutest idea of where to go…I just hope that I can get myself there mentally.
So there you have it. Novembers goals. What are you going to be doing to ensure November is the best that it can possibly be for you? Let me know in a comment below. It would really mean so much if you did.

Crews are working hard to clean Highway 97 due to a mudslide on Aug. 29, according to the Ministry of Transportation. Photo of the Maiden Creek Hill clean up on Aug. 30. Ministry of Transportation photo.
A reduced speed limit is in effect while crews work on cleanup.
Aug. 29, 2018 10:00 p.m.
UPDATE 2:19 p.m.: After last night's mudslides, crews worked through the night to clear and reopen Highway 99, which occurred at approximately 2 a.m., according to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.
"A geotechnical assessment was conducted at first light on Highway 97 and crews were given the green light to begin cleanup," which reopened at around noon.
"Peoples' safety is our top priority, and ministry staff are continually checking weather forecasts and increasing patrols to monitor this region for potential slide activity. We have also been issuing advance warnings to motorists in the form of travel advisories and using Changeable Message Boards when weather forecasts have indicated that significant precipitation is anticipated.
Once a slide takes place, ministry staff carry out geotechnical assessments, and a contractor begins to clear the roadway once it is safe to do so, according to the Ministry.
UPDATE 12:09 p.m. Aug. 30: Highway 97 has reopened with one lane in each direction. The speed limit is 50 km/h. Drivers are advised to watch for dust, debris and heavy equipment as cleanup is ongoing.
UPDATE 6:30 a.m. Aug. 30: Highway 99 has reopened to traffic west of the junction with Highway 97. Watch for muddy sections.
Highway 97 is still closed between Cache Creek and Clinton due to mudslides. The highway is expected to reopen at noon; the next update will be at 8 a.m.
UPDATE 11:50 p.m.: Highway 1 is open between Cache Creek and Kamloops. It remains closed between Cornwall Road and the junction with Highway 97 in Cache Creek.
DriveBC is reporting that a number of area highways are once again closed due to mudslides.
Highway 97 is closed between Cache Creek and Clinton due to numerous mudslides. One mudslide near Maiden Creek at the Pavilion Forest Service Road is particularly bad, and the highway is impassable at this time. An assessment of the route is in progress, and a detour is available via Highway 5, Highway 24, or Highway 8.
CLOSED – #BCHwy97 between #CacheCreek and #ClintonBC. Assessment in progress, detour via #BCHwy5, #BCHwy24 or #BCHwy8.
Highway 1 west and east of Cache Creek is also closed due to mudslides, with a detour available via Highways 5, 24, or 8.
CLOSED – #BCHwy1 10 km west to 12 km east of #Cache Creek due to mudslide. Assessment in progress. Detour via #BCHwy5, #BCHwy24 or #BCHwy8.
Highway 99 west of the junction with Highway 97, near Hat Creek Corner, is also closed due to mudslides. An assessment is in progress.
CLOSED – #BCHwy99 – 10 km east of #BCHwy97 near Hat Creek due to mudslide. Assessment in progress, detour via #BCHwy5, #BCHwy24 or #BCHwy8.

CROSS-SECTIONAL AND LONGITUDINAL HEAT TRANSFER VARIATIONS IN A REBOILER TUBE BUNDLE SECTION.
P. R. Andrews, K. J. Cornwell
Experimental research on the heat transer and fluid flow distribution in a thin slice (25 mm) of a reboiler tube bundle has been reported previously. A thick slice (183 mm) was constructed to provide data on local longitudinal effects, to examine the nature of the flow and check the thin section results. Cross-sectional h-values correlate with previous work but show a decreasing tendency to fluctuate with height through the bundle as the measuring position is moved away from the front face of the boiling cell. The mean values decrease towards the longitudinal center-line, indicating that the thin-section results are likely to be rather higher than those expected in a real reboiler. There is negligible difference in heat tranfer between the in-line and rotated-square cases. The vertical liquid temperature through the bundle was determined and the effect of local saturation temperature is discussed.

As a leading destination in the Caribbean, Cancun and the Riviera Maya may come off as far too laden with tourists. Though it is primarily known for its amazing beaches and rowdy party scene, this region on Mexico's Yutacán Peninsula still has plenty left to discover and much to offer in the way of hidden gems.
For instance, the region is full of amazingly beautiful cenotes, or natural freshwater wells that can contain fantastic caves or caverns ripe for exploration. So when packing your bags, we strongly suggest you make sure you have some snorkeling or diving gear. You can also step away from the tequila and learn about Mexico's fascinating and unique wildlife at its natural parks or its rich Mayan history and heritage at a national museum or archaeological site. Not far off the coast are some islands which may not be on your bucket list but are still gorgeous and worth a visit all the same. If you're considering a visit to the beautiful city of Cancun and the stunning Riviera Maya nearby, these secret spots are a must-visit.


Indian e-commerce firm Flipkart has received US$201 million funding for its wholesale business from its Singapore-incorporated parent.
The investment comes during a period of intensifying competition between the firm and its Amazon-backed competitor in a market estimated to be worth $18 billion. It signals a prioritising of sales growth by the retailer since its acquisition by Walmart.
A report last year indicated that Flipkart has seen a more than 80-per-cent increase in transactions in recent months, prompting the company to expand into new business lines such as furniture and groceries over the next three years.
Separate reports show that Amazon also looks to invest significant funds into the market in order to challenge Flipkart's present lead in the territory.


Kieren Majhail radiates force and energy. She has used her role in BDP's Birmingham office to engage with construction and government at a regional level. She initiated a conference on housing at Birmingham Cathedral, securing the CEO of the West Midlands Combined Authority to speak and drawing together some of the most interesting players from the region and beyond to discuss options – would smaller, less expensive homes be an option, for example? The London model that has made such headway recently was rejected by councillors, giving an important steer to the industry. Her organisation of this conference impressed the judges.
Other events Majhail has organised include a recent Diversity in the Built Environment conference with 80 participants. She arranged sponsors so the conference could be free and open to everyone. She has brokered a partnership between BDP and the RIBA to launch the RIBA Future Architects Network – reactivating an idea she and colleagues had discussed internally before the recession. 'She is a diligent industry professional,' said judge Angharad Palmer approvingly.
Contributors to the Diversity in the Built Environment conference Majhail organised in Birmingham.
Within the office Majhail has fought for consistent treatment of part-timers and clear statements about career progression, so routes to associate and director level are now clearly mapped out across BDP's many offices. Nonetheless she decided to come back full time after her second child. She continues to use her grit – which she attributes to her working class Asian background – to push for what she sees as important, persisting through the banal levels of problem and process-solving so that solutions will stick.
Principal in BDP's Birmingham office, Dan Smyth, who was Majhail's referee, describes her as 'a highly motivated and committed architect who relentlessly endeavours to promote collaboration within BDP and externally'.
'I have this map in my mind and I just connect certain dots,' says Majhail modestly. Her ability to seize opportunities has led to continuing dialogue with the West Midlands Combined Authority and, with it and Homes England, she is working to set up a design panel of future leaders, drawing on a diverse group of professionals. It is clear she has the vision to see change and the determination and follow-through to make things happen.
I'm a young architect, mother of two, from a British Asian working class background – not really your typical architect. I'm happy to disrupt the norm to innovate, modernise and help push our industry to challenge stereotypes. We need to learn more about diversity from progressive industries in order to move forward and be relevant.

Head to Head Review: Axos Financial vs. Broadway Financial


Day 2 started off fairly early. Or at least I thought it was early. Apparently I'm a novice traveler. I forgot to set my phone an hour ahead to Greek time. Apparently the iPhone doesn't do that automatically when you're abroad. Who knew? I didn't.
So I woke up at 6:10 to meet my dad for 7:30 breakfast and thought…"wow, I have a ton of time to get ready…" when in reality I should have thought, "wow, I only have 20 minutes to get ready." I flat out missed our breakfast date and we ended up not making it to the Acropolis until well after they'd opened.
Yes. We decided to go up to the Acropolis again. Such is the life of two photographers. We knew the lighting would be different in the AM than it had been the afternoon prior. The back side of the Parthenon (the side that was mostly scaffold-free) was lit by the sun.
We also saw the Erechtheion and walked down to the ancient theater.
Continuing the walking saga, we visited another temple that shall remain nameless…because I don't remember what it's called. Sorry Dad.
After that, we walked up to the Greek Parliament building and watched their changing of the guard ceremony. We made it in time for the big one of the day. They shut down the street and brought in the Police marching band. It was pretty neat. I was a total tourist.
After we left the Parliament building, we made our way to the Agora – what would have been the busiest area of Athens back in the good old days. To get there, we wandered through the Athens Flea Market in Monistriaki.
We ended the day with a failed attempt to visit the flower market, which had apparently closed for the day.
the beauty in your pictures, wow. i cannot get over them. so stunning!you look incredible too!can't wait for more pictures!
What a great time! These pictures are amazing!

3 Things To See And Do In Colchester This July
Published by Harj Grewal
Looking for something to do in Colchester during your visit to the Rose & Crown hotel? No problem. We've picked out three fantastic things happening locally during July.
Summer Screen, Colchester Castle Park
Back for its 4th year, Summer Screen at Colchester Castle Park offers the opportunity to sit in a pop-up outdoor cinema and watch some of the year's biggest and best film releases. As well as all the live action from Wimbledon too.
This year's line up includes Beauty & The Beast, The Greatest Showman and Star Wars – The Last Jedi. All of which are rated PG or 12A. So it's a great chance to get the whole family together, and sit alfresco, watching a feel-good film. Plus you can even bring your own picnic to enjoy during the event too. Summer Screen runs at Castle Park from Friday 6th July-Sunday 8th with Wimbledon coverage throughout the duration of the tournament until the final on July 15th.
https://www.colchester-events.co.uk/event/summerscreen/
Summer Steam Gala, Castle Earn
Celebrating 50 years of steam engine action at East Anglian Railway, this museum (near Colchester in Chappel) is opening its doors on Saturday 8th July. In a one-day festival that will see all of the museum's historic steam engines in use on the day.
Summer Steam Gala offers railway enthusiasts, as well as kids and adults, the opportunity to ride on some of Britain's longest surviving trains. With the oldest coaches in the fleet dating back to the 19th century. The restoration shed will also be opening its doors on the day to allow visitors a rare glimpse of how these gigantic machines are kept in working order.
http://www.earm.co.uk/summer-steam-gala/
National Open Garden Scheme: Feeringbury Manor
On select dates throughout July Feeringbury Manor's 10-acre garden will be open to the public, in collaboration with the National Open Garden Scheme. Allowing a rare glimpse into the beauty of this usually inaccessible green space.
Among its many attractions, Feeringbury Manor's garden features wonderful sculptures by artist Ben Coode-Adams together with a spectrum of colourful and varied plants, and two ponds. All of which come into their own during the summer season when the garden is alive with colour and foliage. Making Feeringbury's rare July openings a must-visit for outdoor lovers, and garden enthusiasts alike.

The Help, Alias Season 1, Blassreiter

Categories: Anime, Movies and Television
Tags: Alias, Anime, Blassreiter, blue gender, Emma Stone, Fringe, Gantz, Help, hollywood, Jennifer Garner, Rambaldi, shit, Speed Grapher, TV
Talkin' 'bout eatin' shit pie.
Mrs. Brik and I went to the second-run theater to check this out. We almost always go to the second-run theater because it's cheap. Since most movies are toxic chunks of shit, it's more palatable to spend $6 on tickets instead of $18. The Help was surprisingly great. It was funny, dramatic, topical, and inspiring in all the right places. It seemed to tell a deeply personal story in what came from a fictional novel. This is a rare example of a movie done right. It doesn't have a lot of cliche lines, bullshit transformations by evil characters, and they don't solve racism by the end of the movie. It was simply a different lens through which to view 1960s-era Southern U.S. racism. It didn't pander and it didn't dumb itself down. Both of which were very refreshing.
Verdict: Awesome
Alias Season 1
Alias season 1 cast
I've already watched Alias once from start to finish. In my boredom from the fact that there is hardly anything good on TV, I decided to crack open my dusty old Alias DVDs and watch the show again. My first thought was that it would be horrible, and my memory of it being good would be tainted by nostalgia. However, as I watched it, I was pleasantly surprised. The main character can be a hot-headed, emotionally-driven, knee-jerk-reactionary bitch. The action sequences can be cheesy, and the special effects weak as hell. However, the story is cool. The other characters are mostly fun. The Rambaldi stuff appeals to the conspiracy-theory fan in me. The writing remained as strong as I had remembered. Apparently, a lot of the writing/producing team went on to work on Fringe, which is definitely a good thing. Overall, each episode was a worthwhile distraction for 45 minutes.
Blassreiter
Grrrrr serious business.
Yet another horrible shit-turd from anime studio Gonzo. What a huge piece of shit this turned out to be. Speed Grapher was terrible, too, but at least it was over-the-top crazy fun. Blassreiter, however, was like Gantz or Blue Gender in that it is just shitty and has no redeeming qualities. The show takes itself deathly seriously, but then it has ridiculous things happen. For example, in the first episode a guy sees a telephone morph into his ex-lover's face. I literally laughed out loud when that happened. It uses horribly obvious CGI: humans, monsters, vehicles, mecha, everything is CGI. The storyline is ludicrous. The characters die and give inane soliloquies just before they kick the bucket. It tries to be adult, but turns out like a 13 year old boy's idea of cool.
Verdict: Shitty


Poindimie, is the main town on the east coast and is renowned for its lush valleys and its picturesque islands.
This town, which is 309 km from Noumea, has a population of around 6200 inhabitants and belongs to the Paici-Camuki custom area. Whether you like walking, diving, hiking or just relaxing – Poindimie has something for you!
This island is considered the most beautiful of the mainland. It is located just opposite Poindimie and you can get to it easily by boat or kayak for a relaxing day on the beach or to observe its rich marine life.
Tchamba Valley: after the bridge over the river Tchamba, follow the path on the right near the bus stop.
Napoemien Valley: take the right turn after the bank (in the town centre) and right again.
Ina Valley: follow the path just in front of the bridge leading out of the town.
Nevaho Valley: take the road just in front of the bridge over the Eewe river and continue along the stony road.
This church, which is to the north of the town, was built in 1865 and is classified as a historical monument.
This church, which is to be found in the Pambou tribe, is built of pebbles stuck together with limestone.
Several hiking paths are signposted including the Koyaboa Path which takes you to a magnificent viewpoint over Poindimie and its surrounding islands.
This is ranked as one of the most beautiful beaches of the east coast, is an ideal place for a seaside picnic. Located next to the Tieti Hotel.

Q: How do I create a nested table using Oracle I have created the following in Oracle PSL/SQL:
I have created a type Animal.
This has the attributes: Name, Age
I have created the type Dog. This inherits from type Animal
The only extra field in Dogis a nested table of references of place lived.  I want to store all instances of Dogin the Animal table.
This is the bit I am confused about:  When creating the Animal table of type Animal, how do I create the nested table for places lived? There is no field in Animal for this, only in Dog.

A:
"When creating the Animal table of type Animal, how do I create the
  nested table for "places lived"? when there is no field in Animal for
  this, only in Dog."

This is the mystery of inheritance.  A table built from the type ANIMAL actually has columns to support the attributes of its sub-types.  However, they are only accessible when we explicitly use the DOG sub-type.
Here is your data structure.
create or replace type animal_t as object
  ( name varchar2(10)
    , age number (3,0))
not final;
/

create or replace type places_nt as table of varchar2(20)
/

create or replace type dog_t under animal_t
 ( residence_history places_nt)
/

create table animals of animal_t;

To create a record for a goldfish we do this:
insert into animals
  values (animal_t('BOB', 7))
/

To create a record for a dog we need to do this:
insert into animals
  values (dog_t('FIDO', 12, places_nt('Balham', 'Tooting')))
/

This query will just select the generic columns:
SQL> select * from animals
  2  /

NAME              AGE
---------- ----------
BOB                 7
FIDO               12

SQL>

To gain sight of the details pertaining to dogs we need to cast the record to the relevant sub-type:
SQL> select treat(value(a) as dog_t)
  2  from animals a
  3  where value(a) is of (dog_t)
  4  /

TREAT(VALUE(A)ASDOG_T)(NAME, AGE, RESIDENCE_HISTORY)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DOG_T('FIDO', 12, PLACES_NT('Balham', 'Tooting'))

SQL>

There is an entire book in the Oracle documentation devoted to its Object-Relational features.  Find out more.

Note: I have used an object table here simply because it is easy to illustrate how nested tables work.  I do not recommend using types for data storage: OO is a programming paradigm and should only be used for writing programs.  Data should always be persisted in relational structures.

Critical approaches to Race
Simon Goodman
The chapter will address the ways that psychology has been involved in problematic research involving race, including eugenics and controversial work, some of which is current, which seeks to address the relationship between race and intelligence, usually concluding that 'whites' are more intelligent than 'blacks'. The chapter then considers the ways in which race is used uncritically in current social psychological research as a meaningful category. This position has been heavily criticised, and it is these criticisms, based on the idea that an uncritical use of race as a category can mean that psychologists are unintentionally complicit in supporting racist ideology, that will be addressed in the following section. After that, alternatives to uncritically using race are outlined. Here is will be shown that, increasingly, critical social psychologists are paying attention to how race is understood and spoken about by speakers and what talk about race can be used to do.

The chapter then considers the ways in which race is used uncritically in current social psychological research as a meaningful category. This position has been heavily criticised, and it is these criticisms, based on the idea that an uncritical use of race as a category can mean that psychologists are unintentionally complicit in supporting racist ideology, that will be addressed in the following section. After that, alternatives to uncritically using race are outlined. Here is will be shown that, increasingly, critical social psychologists are paying attention to how race is understood and spoken about by speakers and what talk about race can be used to do.

Heavenly Scent. Sadly, It Doesn't Last.
This fragrance is like a sunny Spring day at the beach - awakening and refreshing with salty negative ions blown off the crashing waves by a cool breeze. Uplifting in the Winter and those grey wet days when we need a boost. This is the only scent I have ever feel is my perfect, signature aroma. Sadly, it doesn't linger and this isn't simply the olfactory senses growing used to the aroma - after about 30 minutes it has all but gone, leaving only a salty tang. I hope Shay & Blue can do something to improve on this otherwise heavenly scent and when they do, bring out a matching range of products.
Scent is accurately described and lovely but lasts about 10 minutes on me! This is not normal for me, and so very disappointing. Unfortunately I will not be purchasing again.
Bought this for a friend who has been ill, she was delighted with the beautiful fresh fragrance and has had compliments from other people too. I felt it would be uplifting for my friend and she was very pleased with the new fragrance.
Uplifting and fresh definitely a 'pick you up fragrance' In dry down quite soft and a faint vanilla warm ness.
Excellent product. Wonderful scent. Will be back for more!
Delivered promptly and beautifully presented. I love fresh, citrussy scents, and this did not disappoint.
Just received Sicilian Lime fragrance as a Christmas gift and I love it. Perfectly sized for travel and wonderful, true, light fragrance. Looking forward to sharing my newest discovery with friends.
When I got this fragrance, a part of me was thinking that I had made a mistake, as I was thinking about all the other room sprays that say they are Lemon or Lime scented.
But this one is refreshingly nice to smell, again, again and again.
Everyone who has had a sniff of this, of all ages and races, loves this fragrance.
I feel that this should be one for the ladies but anyone can enjoy the smell of this again, many men who I know really like the smell of this too.
This fragrance I will definely buy again. It can be enjoyed by all, regadless of the outside weather or season.
I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He used to wear Chanel and Jo Malone but to be honest I was getting bored of the same old, same old. When I discovered Shay & Blue I was so excited to learn it was created by an ex-Chanel and Jo Malone fragrance expert! My husband absolutely loves this zingy and spicy modern day cologne, plus it lasts way longer than any other scent he's ever worn. We're both delighted.


Rumblings of Reform in Beijing?
This article was first published at the NYRBlog on October 20, 2010.
Over the past six weeks, China's thin class of the politically aware has been gripped by a faint hope that maybe, against all odds, some sort of political opening might be in the cards this year. Monday's conclusion of a key Communist Party meeting didn't exactly crush this hope, but it did put things in a much more sober perspective.
The excitement began in late August, when Premier Wen Jiabao toured the southern Chinese boomtown of Shenzhen. The one-time fishing village was celebrating the 30th anniversary of its transformation into a Special Economic Zone, where Chinese officials have tested out economic reforms. Mr. Wen used the chance to advocate "political reforms" as well. Most of the time, political reform is a fairly empty phrase in China, almost always meaning a push to make the current system more efficient and slightly more responsive to ordinary citizens' wishes, for example by opening complaint hotlines or neighborhood centers to make it easier to apply for government services. It never means what some hopeful Westerners assume: transformation of China's authoritarian system.
Still, there were some tantalizing hints, mostly in how the speech was and wasn't covered in China. The call was given de rigeur coverage by the party's flagship newspaper, People's Daily, but no one else picked it up. More pointedly, a subsequent speech by China's top leader, Hu Jintao, failed to mention political reform, while the party's top man for security issues, Zhou Yongkang, rejected political reform outright in a talk in the party's leading theoretical journal, Qiushi.
All this raised the question of whether Mr. Wen's call really had been so hollow in the first place; if so, then why was everyone taking such care to ignore or rebut it?
By early October the speculation ratcheted up a notch. The party was getting ready for last weekend's Plenum—a gathering of roughly 300 senior officials who set policy—and many expected this particular session would be important. Not only was Mr. Wen's call for political reform still in the air but the session was supposed to resolve two key issues: the country's economic plan for the next five years and a personnel decision that could help choose the successor to Mr. Hu as head of the party and the country's president. As anticipated, the plenum elevated Xi Jinping, a senior member of the Politburo Standing Committee and Mr. Hu's heir apparent, to vice chairman of the Central Military Committee, a top military post that is viewed as step to assuming the government's top leadership position.
But what about the larger question of bringing change to China's political institutions? Before the plenum began, a group of retired Communist Party officials had issued its own call for reform. Led by one of Mao Zedong's private secretaries, Li Rui, they represent the last vestiges of a serious reformist wing in the party, one that in the 1980s vigorously supported free speech and even some political reforms such as separating the Communist Party from the government, so that in theory the ruling party could be changed. After the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, they were marginalized and have steadily lost ground. Each year they issue similar petitions that get written up in the foreign press but have no impact in China.
This time, however, there was another twist. During an interview with CNN on September 29, Premier Wen seemed to make absolutely clear what he had meant by political reform during his Shenzhen speech. China, he said, needed "to gradually improve the democratic election system so that state power will truly belong to the people and state power will be used to serve the people." That sounded like more than the usual calls for making the current system a bit smoother. Was some sort of a debate going to happen at the Plenum?
As tantalizing as it was, such speculation seemed destined to remain mere rumblings among Pekingologists—until the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize was announced on October 8. By awarding Liu Xiaobo the Nobel, the small group of Norwegians crystalized a few things in China. As I recently argued in The New York Review the Communist Party is resurgent and seems in many ways all-powerful. In the rush to take part in China's remarkable economic growth, foreigners are up to all sorts of unscrupulous activity, such as pumping money into party-run oligopolies and allowing the party's propaganda apparatus to influence the study of China. And yet here was an award that said, yes, fine, but don't forget Chinese citizens like Liu, who have struggled for decades for what many people consider to be the basic, universal value of free speech. He is best known for his involvement in drafting Charter 08, which essentially requests that the Chinese government live up to the rights it guarantees in its constitution and give up its monopoly on political power.
The Nobel announcement galvanized some Chinese, with a group of about one hundred dissidents and activists petitioning for Liu's release from prison, where he is serving an eleven-year sentence. Across a broad spectrum of non-governmental organizations and educated people, there is a sense that the prize was certainly deserved. One can nit-pick Liu's past and find some views (such as his early support for the Iraq war) that show, surprise surprise, that he is not perfect. But overall, politically active people in China can identify with his moderate approach.
All of this has contributed to what is arguably the most hopeful period for political reform in years. In part, this owes simply to the fact that there's been so little discussion of reform over the past two decades that a few ripples seem like a tidal wave. But there is a genuine sense, even among China's leaders, that the current system is not sustainable. No one seems to have a specific answer about how to reform China's political system, but few deny that reforms are overdue.
Still—and here the recent Plenum comes into play—the party is in no mood to be hurried. As is usual after such opaque affairs, it issued a turgid statement that called for "vigorous yet steady efforts" at political reform—which is pretty much a hold-the-course statement. This doesn't mean that some kinds of political reform aren't being considered but that the party isn't ready to move now and basically wants it to mean tarting up the existing system. Exactly how China's new leadership will move on this is also unclear. Mr. Xi, the presumptive heir to President Hu, has no track record of political reform, being best known for his stewardship of Zhejiang province, one of China's most economically powerful and robust. That suggests that he is in favor of economic reforms but does not imply he backs any political changes. In any case, he is a cautious figure who, like president Hu, will come into his job without a strong political base to effect change.
Then what about Premier Wen's calls for voting and free speech? There's a famous picture of him in Tiananmen Square in May 1989, shortly before the army moved in. He's standing next to former party secretary Zhao Ziyang—the reformer who addressed the student protestors sympathetically on the eve of the crackdown—whom Wen served loyally. Many say that the premier was harkening back to those heady days when he was firmly in the reformist camp, and that with just two years left on his term he wants to go down in history as a reformist.
But the photo also reminds us how weak Premier Wen really is. Like his predecessor Zhu Rongji—another Chinese leader popular with foreigners—Premier Wen is essentially a hired gun to keep the economy going. He's done that well during the early years of the 21st century but his earlier support for the Tiananmen protesters means he has no political base among the party brass. The Tiananmen protests are seen by most of the people who run China as an unmitigated disaster and one of the chief lessons is that they should have been dealt with more forcefully and earlier on. Mr. Wen's role as a last-minute conciliator makes him seem like a weakling. Even now, with his second term ending, he has not been able to build a power base as president Hu was eventually able to do. So, in a way, what he says doesn't matter. He might well mean to begin a process of democratization and to embrace free speech but he has no power base to push through such a radical vision. At best, what can be expected is noodling around the edges—perhaps giving harmless non-governmental organizations in education or environmental protection a bit more of a role.
As for the Nobel award, it is heartening and is wind in the sails of grassroots reformers. But it is probably not more than that. The Plenum essentially set down a marker: for now, the rules of the game aren't changing.


Web services are protocols for computers to exchange information over the web (see wikipedia: web service), typically via an API. In biology, web services are becoming more and more common. You can obtain, for example, phylogenetic trees from Open Tree of Life, geographic occurrences from GBIF, and trait data from Encyclopedia of Life, all using web services.
We have a number of pre-made functions in Arbor that can obtain data through web services. These functions can be included in workflows that make it easy to combine your data with data obtained over the web and carry out analyses. In this tutorial we will illustrate one of these applications, starting with a list of species and obtaining a phylogenetic tree from Open Tree of Life.
We are going to start with a list of species. You can obtain this list as a csv file here; download and save this file somewhere to your computer.
We will be building a workflow to do this analysis. Note that you need to be logged in and have write access to a collection to make the next parts work!
The first step in this workflow is to match the species names with the names in the Open Tree of Life Taxonomy (OTT). To do this, we will use a function in the "OpenTree" collection called "Lookup Names Using OpenTree Taxonomy." Add this function to your workflow using the "+ add to workflow" button.
Now just click "Setup and run." In the box that appears, choose your input file with the list of mammal species names.
You can then change to the "visualization" tab, and select the output from your workflow.
This is a phylogenetic tree pulled from the Open Tree of Life synthesis that includes all of the species in the table that you supplied.

Boy Hit by Foul at Indians Game Shows No Serious Injury
TORONTO (AP) — The 3-year-old boy hit by a foul ball in Cleveland last weekend is showing no signs of serious injury, the Indians said Tuesday.
The boy, identified by the team as Henry, was hit by a line drive off the bat of Indians All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor in the sixth inning of a 5-4 win over Kansas City on Sunday. An adult holding the child left the seating area immediately afterward.
Cleveland said in a statement the boy was released from a hospital on Sunday evening.
"The Indians organization and Francisco Lindor are very thankful Henry is doing well," the team said Tuesday.
Protective netting at Progressive Field runs to the end of each dugout. Lindor's line drive landed several sections beyond the netting and was about 12 to 15 rows into the stands.
On Monday, the Chicago White Sox became the first team in the major leagues to extend protective netting from foul pole to foul pole for their game against the Miami Marlins.
The Washington Nationals were among other teams to announce this season they planned to extend their netting. It was in place at Nationals Park on Monday when the game against Colorado was rained out.
Several fans, including a 2-year-old girl in Houston, have been injured by fouls this season.
Commissioner Rob Manfred recently said extending protective netting down foul lines is a ballpark-to-ballpark decision because of differing configurations. Before the 2018 season, MLB introduced regulations mandating netting extend to the far end of each dugout.

Q:How is rolled ice cream made?
A: Our secret house cream is a base of milk, condensed milk and few other flavors to make its perfectly creamy, yet rich taste. Our inverse griddles use a finely tuned freezing process that makes the mixture freeze without hardening past the smooth cream texture. The cream must be a certain density, thickness and measurement to roll, and is very sensitive. It's an art.
Q:Where did we learn this?
A: Don't laugh.... Facebook. We fell in love with the idea, and couldn't stop talking about it. So we took out dreams into actions and created the store from the bottom up by ourselves. No helped from any other business.
Q: Where is the coffee coming from?
A: While we can't release trade secrets, our coffee is sourced from fair trade certified vendors in multiple countries, and locally roasted in Hendersonville, NC. Maintaining quality is our number one goal.
Q: is our ice cream healthy?
A: Our ice cream like any other traditional ice cream is sweetened using sugar, and we can not promise it's the best thing for a tight diet. But our ingredients are as high quality as we can use, and as local as we can get them.
