Once the pick-up is requested, users can track the rider, and then follow a package to its point of delivery.\nPayment is made through a pre-registered credit card, or using the popular M-Pesa mobile money transfer platform.\nSendy started by using very simple technology that worked with basic phones, using SMS and USSD technology and GPS trackers on bikes. But as the price of smartphones has come down, the company is rolling out a hybrid app that also works on riders' smartphones.\n\"We wanted to solve this problem using existing assets and people… we didn't want them to buy fancy gadgets, expensive gadgets to do that,\" says Mr Alloys.\n\"We looked at how do we make these people utilise their assets to the maximum and bring down the cost.\"\nSince it launched its first product in April 2014, Sendy has completed more than 20,000 deliveries - averaging between 150 and 200 per day - and has around 60 active riders on the platform, all of whom are vetted.\nFor Sendy rider Geoffrey Oloo, reliability of work is a key attraction of the platform. Riders take away 80% of each delivery fee, which starts at a base amount of KES240 ($2.40; £1.60) for the first 7km.\n\"You are sure in a day that you will get work because there are so many customers in the Sendy system,\" he says. \"When I am with Sendy I am sure at the end of the day that I will having something in my pocket, something I can take home.\"\nSome 75% of daily deliveries are done for corporate business accounts and the rest for individuals.\nSendy works with businesses including e-commerce firms dispatching purchased goods around the bustling Kenyan capital, food companies offering home delivery, and pharmacies moving medicine to patients.\nThe company is hoping to launch an investment round within the next six months, having successfully attracted funding from corporate and tech investment funds, as well as local angels, in an earlier investment last year.\nThe team is eager to expand to new cities - both within Kenya and beyond - using hoped-for funding in the next investment round.\nHaving watched Sendy's emergence, tech blogger Moses Kemibaro sees scalability as the company's next hurdle.\n\"I think their big challenge is really scaling it to get as many people as possible onto the service before some big international player checks into the market, which potentially could compromise the opportunity to grow,\" says Mr Kemibaro.\n\"Already in Kenya, we have seen other on-demand service providers like EasyTaxi and Uber doing well,\" he adds.\n\"Increasingly, you will see such providers moving into markets like Mombasa and Nakuru. I think Sendy do have the same potential, but the question at the end of the day is really whether they have the resources to expand.\"\nThe Sendy team also hope that the service will help to offer solutions to some basic infrastructural problems that are common in the East African region.\n\"Traffic is a huge issue, infrastructure of roads is an issue, quality of data on a map is an issue, addressing is an issue, actually having a house number is an issue, street names is an issue,\" explains Ms Judd.\n\"While we are providing these on demand services, we are also improving a lot of the base infrastructure… for example we can collect data on all these addresses, we can save these addresses and I can understand now residential locations.\n\"We can capitalise on the fact that we can beat the traffic by using individuals on two wheels, cyclists or riders.

But it is in fact pretty much his worst nightmare.\nHow so?\nWell, Labour last week put at the heart of its manifesto that if elected it would get the government's deficit and debt down in the course of the next parliament, and to that end there would be cuts in non-protected public services (or everything but schools, health and overseas aid).\nIt did that partly because all its polling showed that in England it would need to demonstrate what it thinks of as \"fiscal credibility\" to get a hearing from undecided voters.\nSo it is quite definitely not an act of amity and solidarity with its putative Labour brothers for the SNP, led by Nicola Sturgeon, to tell voters that she'll get the Tories out, get Labour in and make sure Labour won't stick to its fiscal promises.\nThe great fear for Labour is that its recent progress in England will be derailed, while its collapsing vote in Scotland remains shattered.\nWhich if you are a Tory, you may think is great. And in fact the Tories are currently shouting from the rooftops about Labour being bossed by the SNP.\nBut the Conservatives could yet live to regret the consequence of campaigning on the supposed poisonous embrace offered by Sturgeon to Miliband - because it brings the risk for the UK of constitutional and economic crisis.\nHow so?\nWell, the Tories may hope that by alleging a Labour government would be backseat-driven from Edinburgh they'll persuade enough floating voters to switch to them, and secure an overall majority.\nHowever all the opinions currently demonstrate that's profoundly unlikely - it would require a shift of votes late in a campaign on a scale for which I can find no modern precedent.\nA far more plausible outcome is that the Tories end up with a few more seats than Labour, on the back of a slightly bigger share of the vote - and would therefore have first dibs on trying to form a government, under our constitutional convention.\nBut if the SNP end up getting the number of seats that currently looks likely - not a million miles from 50 - and the Liberal Democrats slump to less than 30 (which also looks likely, right now), it may be impossible for the Tories to form either a workable coalition or an effective minority government on the so-called confidence-and-supply basis (whereby it would secure the backing of smaller parties for measures crucial to its ability to govern).\nAt that point, Labour would presumably have its chance to form a government. But it has ruled out a formal coalition with the SNP. And it is very difficult to see how it could form any kind of more loose partnership with the SNP which would not look profoundly undemocratic to many English citizens, insulting to its residual loyalists in Scotland and therefore lethal to its long-term reputation.\nCould Labour form a credible government if it had fewer seats and fewer votes than the Tories, and having spent its campaign repudiating the advances of the SNP? That seems implausible.\nOut of this mess, perhaps a very odd and paradoxical alliance could be forged, as Robert Harris mused in yesterday's Sunday Times, between a Tory party recognising that union with Scotland no longer serves its own existential interests and an SNP whose priority is to secure constitutional independence from the rest of the UK coupled with a continued monetary union.\nAs Harris pointed out, alliances as strange have been forged in our parliamentary history - and the logic of securing power can trump ideological and emotional differences.\nMore likely however is that the UK would need another general election in short order.\nWhich all sounds a bit inconvenient, but from an economic perspective could be a bit worse than that. Business leaders tell me they would expect an investment hiatus by companies during the unstable interregnum, bankers tell me overseas investors would shun the UK and city traders anticipate a sharp and destabilising fall in the pound; .\nIt would be the equivalent of a big chill hitting Britain, that temporarily undermines economic activity.\nSo because of the way that Scotland's resources are determined by the UK's budget, via the block-grant arrangements, it may be completely reasonable for the SNP to campaign in this election to end austerity for the whole of the UK.\nBut the consequences of its decision to exercise that logic are unpredictable.", "summary": "John Swinney, the SNP's deputy First Minister of Scotland, told the Today programme this morning that the heart of its manifesto - due out later today - would be to end austerity in the UK as a whole, and would support Labour to bring that about." }, { "dataset": "xsum", "text": "The Ardglass man carded a 66 in the third round to finish seven under and in a tie for ninth at Galgorm.\nThe top 24 progressed to the Shootout format, a series of six-hole stroke play games to determine the winner.\nAustria's Mattias Schwab topped the leaderboard on 11 under while tournament ambassador Michael Hoey was tied 45th on two under after a 70.\nThere was a five-man play-off for the final two spots with Max Orrin and Manuel Trappel going through.\n\"I'm very pleased - I had two good chances on my last two holes that got me into the play-off and then luckily I managed to get a birdie and get through,\" said Austrian player Trappel.\n\"I was obviously very nervous.

Many farmers believe it is unfair as it limits their ability to grow more of the most profitable crop in any given year.\nMrs Leadsom also took aim at other elements of the current regulations that many farmers find irksome.\n\"No more six foot EU billboards littering the landscape,\" she said. \"No more existential debates to determine what counts as a bush, a hedge, or a tree. And no more, ridiculous, bureaucratic three-crop rule.\"\nThe Environment Secretary also indicated that the number of direct inspections of farms would be cut with greater reliance on aerial photography.\nFarmers hit by floods would have to fill in far fewer forms she said. UK land managers would \"grow more, sell more and export more great British food whilst upholding our high standards for plant and animal health and welfare,\" Mrs Leadsom said.\nWhile Mrs Leadsom's speech was welcomed by many farmers, critics were worried that the proposed rollback of regulations would damage the environment.\n\"Our worst fears about a post-Brexit farming landscape are being realised,\" said Molly Scott Cato, a Green party MEP.\n\"Rather than using the opportunities offered by Brexit to encourage a move towards a diverse and ecologically sustainable farming system, this government seem determined to dive headlong into encouraging damaging monocultures.\"\nThe UK receives around £3bn a year in direct support to farmers and the government have indicated they will guarantee similar support until 2020. There was strong criticism that Mrs Leadsom didn't address the question of what will happen after 2020 in her speech.\n\"Andrea Leadsom has said nothing about the two most important questions facing UK farmers - whether they will still have access to the single market and what subsidies they can expect to receive post-2020,\" said Kate Parminter, the Liberal Democrat environment spokeswoman.\n\"Warm words about wanting to increase British food exports will be meaningless if farmers are faced with a 50% tariff on beef and a 30% tariff on lamb to sell into their biggest export market.\"\nFollow Matt on Twitter and on Facebook", "summary": "The environment secretary says she is \"absolutely committed\" to ensuring that British farmers have access to migrant workers after Brexit." }, { "dataset": "xsum", "text": "Edinburgh University researchers have shown how two receptors in older brains react to the stress hormone cortisol linked to forgetfulness as people age.\nThe study on older mice found one receptor was activated by low levels of cortisol, which helped memory.\nBut once levels of the hormone were too high they spilled over on to a second receptor, activating brain processes which contribute to memory loss.\nWhen the receptor linked to poor memory was blocked, the memory recall problem was reversed.\nScientists say the discovery could lead to treatment for conditions such as early Alzheimer's.\nDr Joyce Yau, who led the study at Edinburgh University's centre for cardiovascular science, said: \"While we know that stress hormones affect memory, this research explains how the receptors they engage with can switch good memory to poorly functioning memory in old age.\n\"We now know that lowering the levels of these stress hormones will prevent them from activating a receptor in the brain that is bad for memory.\n\"Understanding the mechanisms in the brain which affect memory as we age will help us to find ways to combat conditions linked to memory loss.\"\nThe scientists said the research helps explain why too much stress over a prolonged period interferes with the normal processes in storing everyday memories, despite the fact that a little bit of stress can help people better remember emotional memories.\nScientists found that high levels of cortisol in aged mice made them less able to remember how to navigate a maze.\nThe study was published in the Journal of Neuroscience and was funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC).\nProfessor Chris Kennard, chairman of the MRC's neuroscience and mental health board, said: \"This research highlights some interesting, original concepts relating to why memory loss occurs in old age.\n\"With people living ever longer, the MRC is really focusing on research which allows elderly people not just to survive but also to stay healthy.\"\nThe researchers are looking at a new chemical compound which blocks an enzyme, known as 11beta-HSD1, which helps produce stress hormones within cells.\nThe study is supported by a Seeding Drug Discovery award from the Wellcome Trust charity.\nIt is hoped this could be used to develop a drug treatment to slow the normal decline in memory associated with ageing, or even improve memory in people who are very old.", "summary": "Experts claim to have found how stress can lead to memory loss in old age." }, { "dataset": "xsum", "text": "Chaplin took his goal tally to seven for the season and is now Pompey's leading goalscorer along with Gary Roberts.\nPompey were awarded a penalty in the 21st minute after Enda Stevens was fouled by defender Sammy Moore just inside the box.\nChaplin stepped up to take the spot-kick but Orient's goalkeeper Alex Cisak guessed the right way and parried the ball out for a corner.\nThe striker made amends for his miss two minutes later when he stabbed the ball home at the far post from a Carl Baker cross.\nOrient were level in the 38th minute when Massey was picked out by former Pompey player Nigel Atangana and curled his shot exquisitely into the top corner from just inside the area.\nPortsmouth regained their lead two minutes after half-time when Chaplin headed home from close range after Baker's cross from the right-hand side.\nReport supplied by the Press Association.\nMatch ends, Portsmouth 2, Leyton Orient 1.\nSecond Half ends, Portsmouth 2, Leyton Orient 1.\nAttempt blocked.

Originally postponed last autumn and then again when the referendum campaign got underway, public health experts were pinning their hopes on a July launch.\nMeasures to reduce sugar content of food and drink products, curb price promotions in supermarkets and extend TV and online fast food advertising restrictions were seen as urgently needed in the battle to reduce obesity and the Type 2 diabetes risk.\nIt's understood that a little more work on the strategy is needed but the essentials are in place.\nIn the light of the referendum result there can be no certainty about when the obesity strategy will be published.\nDavid Cameron had been keen to lead the launch of a policy which was seen by Downing Street as a high profile \"domestic legacy\" initiative similar to the dementia plan under the coalition.\nBut with the Prime Minister now only in office for a few more months, everything is up in the air.\nHe may decide he needs to complete his policy agenda and keep the business of government moving by getting the obesity strategy out. Alternatively, ministers and advisers may feel there is no mandate for such a high- profile announcement before a new PM is in place.\nLooking further ahead, the question of funding for the NHS is already being raised. There was a much criticised claim that Brexit would save the UK £350m a week in payments to the EU and allow more funding for the NHS.\nThis did not take account of about £200m of rebates to the UK. Nigel Farage has already said that claim was a mistake.\nLeave campaigners talked of an extra £100m a week being freed up for the NHS but that would depend on the government of the day choosing to spend any money saved on health, rather than other areas of the public sector.\nSimon Stevens, the head of NHS England, has made clear that the financial stability of the service depends on the state of the economy.\nGrowth will generate the higher tax revenues which can fund higher public spending.\nBut plotting the path of the economy in the run-up to the exit in 2018 is anyone's guess. The prospect of a recession has been raised by the Bank of England. That was dismissed as scaremongering by Leave campaigners.\nNobody is contesting that the NHS needs staff from outside the UK, but how that will be affected by Britain's new status will not be clear for a while.\nThe prospect of a new immigration policy may or may not at the margin deter foreign doctors, nurses and care workers from working in the UK.\nThe actions of pharmaceutical companies will also be studied closely.\nThere have been warnings that Brexit could lead to drug trials in the UK being reduced with investment shifted to other European countries.\nHealth organisations have expressed concern about the uncertainty which will inevitably persist after the UK electorate's momentous decision.\nThat uncertainty won't ease any time soon.\nStephen Dalton, chief executive of the NHS Confederation summed up the mood: \"The NHS has broadly benefitted from being in the EU and leaving it will undoubtedly have implications which are yet to be clearly understood.\"\nGet the results in full.", "summary": "With Whitehall and Downing Street trying to get to grips with the referendum result, its impossible to get any sense of how the domestic agenda will develop." }, { "dataset": "xsum", "text": "He was the first person to walk all the Munros, mountains of more than 3,000ft (914.4m), in a single trip.\nDr Brown's 112-day journey in 1974 involved 289 peaks and 1,639 miles, which he covered by walking, cycling and travelling on two ferries.\nThe 82-year-old, of Burntisland, Fife, will receive the award next month.\nIt will be presented during the Fort William Mountain Festival.\nMile Pescod, one of the festival's organisers, said: \"Hamish embodies the passion and the excitement that exploring the wild Scottish landscape entails, and the great desire to share this sense of adventurous wonder with others.\n\"Not only has Hamish explored Scotland and many other mountain areas right across the globe but he has helped countless others do the same and find the same sense of satisfaction.\n\"Hamish is a true exponent of mountain culture.\"", "summary": "Mountaineer and writer Dr Hamish Brown has been announced as the 10th recipient of The Scottish Award for Excellence in Mountain Culture." }, { "dataset": "xsum", "text": "The victory of Mr Rutte, 50, has brought relief for fellow centrist politicians in the EU, who feared that Brexit and Donald Trump could set an unstoppable anti-establishment trend.\nMr Rutte appears to have boosted his electorate by talking tough on Dutch values and on Turkey's angry rhetoric.\nHe sticks to a fairly modest lifestyle.\nFor an hour every week he teaches at a school in a poor district of The Hague.\nHe drives a second-hand car and uses an old mobile phone.

They're needed to distribute to the ground stations the particles, or photons, of light that can encode the \"keys\" to secret messages.\n\"I think we have started a worldwide quantum space race,\" says lead researcher Jian-Wei Pan, who is based in Hefei in China's Anhui Province.\nQuantum privacy in many ways should be like the encryption that already keeps our financial data private online.\nBefore sensitive information is shared between shopper and online shop, the two exchange a complicated number that is then used to scramble the subsequent characters. It also hides the key that will allow the shop to unscramble the text securely.\nThe weakness is that the number itself can be intercepted, and with enough computing power, cracked.\nQuantum cryptography, as it is called, goes one step further, by using the power of quantum science to hide the key.\nAs one of the founders of quantum mechanics Werner Heisenberg realised over 90 years ago, any measurement or detection of a quantum system, such as an atom or photon of light, uncontrollably and unpredictably changes the system.\nThis quantum uncertainty is the property that allows those engaged in secret communications to know if they are being spied on: the eavesdropper's efforts would mess up the connection.\nThe idea has been developed since it was first understood in the 1980s.\nTypically, pairs of photons created or born simultaneously like quantum twins will share their quantum properties no matter how long they are separated or how far they have travelled. Reading the photons later, by shopper and shop, leads to the numerical key that can then be used to encrypt a message. Unless the measurements show interference from an eavesdropper.\nA network established in Vienna in 2008 successfully used telecommunications fibre optics criss-crossing the city to carry these \"entangled photons\", as they are called. But even the clearest of optical fibres looks foggy to light, if it's long enough. And an ambitious 2,000km link from Beijing to Shanghai launched last year needs repeater hubs every 100km or so - weak points for quantum hackers of the future to target.\nAnd that, explains Anton Zeilinger, one of the pioneers of the field and creator of the Vienna network, is the reason to communicate via satellite instead.\n\"On the ground, through the air, through glass fibres - you cannot go much further than 200km. So a satellite in outer space is the choice if you want to go a really large distance,\" he said.\nThe point being that in the vacuum of space, there are no atoms, or at least hardly any, to mess up the quantum signal.\nThat is what makes the tests with Micius, named after an ancient Chinese philosopher, so significant. They have proved a spaced-based network is possible, as revealed in the latest edition of the journal Science.\nNot that it is easy. The satellite passes 500km over China for just less than five minutes each day - or rather each night, as bright sunlight would easily swamp the quantum signal. Micius' intricate optics create the all-important photon pairs and fires them down towards telescopes on some of China's high mountains.\n\"When I had the idea of doing this in 2003, many people thought it was a crazy idea,\" Jian-Wei Pan told the BBC World Service from his office in the University of Science and Technology of China. \"Because it was very challenging already doing the sophisticated quantum optics experiments in a lab - so how can you do a similar experiment at a thousand-kilometre distance and with optical elements moving at a speed of 8km/s?\"\nAdditional lasers steered the satellite's optics as it flew over China, keeping them pointed at the base stations. Nevertheless, owing to clouds, dust and atmospheric turbulence, most of the photons created on the satellite failed to reach their target: only one pair of the 10 million photon pairs generated each second actually completed the trip successfully.\nBut that was enough to complete the test successfully. It showed that the photons that did arrive preserved the quantum properties needed for quantum crypto-circuits.\n\"The Chinese experiment is a quite remarkable technological achievement,\" enthused mathematician Artur Ekert in an e-mail to the BBC. It was as a student in quantum information at Oxford University in the 1990s that Ekert proposed the paired-photon approach to cryptography.
