Review for Diabetes Hands Foundation, Berkeley, CA, USA
Being diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic is frightening. Once you are done at the doctors office or hospital you are left at home, with a ton of questions and very little answers. Sure you can search online, but interaction and support from actual people, those dealing with the same things you are, is what really helps. Thanks to the Diabetes Hands Foundation support like that exists 24/7. While there may be other resources, I have yet to find more comfort, welcome and information than I have from them.

UC review backs use of pepper spray on protesters
A new review of police actions at UC Berkeley on Nov. 9 has some protesters calling it "a tactical handbook for warfare against students," while the author himself acknowledges his findings are controversial.
Notably, campus police should have been allowed to use pepper spray against student protesters, said Jeff Young, the UCLA assistant police chief who was asked to review UC Berkeley police actions that day.
"Some of these findings will be controversial," Young wrote in his 50-page report to Mitch Celaya, the UC Berkeley police chief. "This is unavoidable."
Young's report is the first of two public reviews of UC Berkeley police conduct at the Occupy Cal protest Nov. 9. YouTube viewers got a close-up view of police using batons to whack students who had linked arms to try to prevent the riot-geared officers from dismantling tents they had erected on campus.
Berkeley's Chancellor Robert Birgeneau, traveling in Asia that day, had prohibited the use of pepper spray. That ban proved prescient, as Birgeneau later noted, because UC Davis officers were captured on video weeks later using the chemical irritant to coat seated protesters, prompting outrage around the world. Reviews of UC Davis police actions are pending.
In the Berkeley report released Friday, Young said that police acted properly in every way: in removing the tents, in their preparedness, in their training. He had several recommendations, including that police prepare formations out of view of protesters, to better take them by surprise.
He lamented, however, that "force options" for police were limited on Nov. 9.
Referring to pepper spray, he wrote: "A few focused applications on the crowd that blocked the officers near the row of bushes would likely have cleared that area very quickly, with few additional baton strikes."
UC Berkeley police referred questions to campus spokeswoman Janet Gilmore, who said the report raises "important issues" for campus administrators, who will study it.
"Regarding pepper spray, there are different points of view regarding (its) use," she said. Birgeneau had not yet seen the report, she said.
Student protesters were far less forgiving.
"It's scary," said Josh Anderson, a graduate student in English who took baton strikes to his head and torso. "This isn't an analysis; it's propaganda. It sounds like a tactical handbook for warfare against students."

Those of you who know me well, who I have become friends with over the years of running this blog or people I generally talk to about more than just makeup and blogging, will know that 2015 marked the start of a new chapter in my life. Having completed University and graduated last summer, after being back in education for 6 years and pretty much dedicating my life over those 6 years to Psychology, 2015 was the year my partner and I wanted to add a little addition to our home, to start a proper family. After keeping it a secret for 2.5 months, I can finally share the news that our family is growing....

More than half of Hawaii's public schools will face a series of budget cuts over the next four years under a student-based funding formula approved last night by the state Board of Education.
The board passed the so-called "weighted student formula" in a 7-4 vote at its meeting at Maili Elementary School after hearing testimony from principals, teachers and parents, some of whom warned that the changes would mean drastic reductions in programs and staff.
"Teachers are extremely apprehensive of what will happen to their students, their schools," said Roger Takabayashi, president of the Hawaii State Teachers Association. "Cutting budgets even further at any school is not in the best interest of any school or student achievement."
But others backed the changes.
"(Weighted student formula) will enable us to mentor new teachers and help them be more successful with our children," Maili Elementary School Principal Disa Hauge told board members. "WSF is our state's remedy to the issue of inequity. It may not be perfect, but for those of us who work in schools of poverty ... WSF is a beacon."
Some 137 schools will see their budgets shrink by as much as hundreds of thousands of dollars by 2010, while others expect gains of up to $1 million. Some schools will have no significant funding changes.
The cuts and increases are set to be phased in: Each school's funding will be adjusted by 10 percent in the coming year, 25 percent in 2007 and 50 percent in 2008. In five years the new formula will take full effect.
Board member Paul Vierling suggested the formula be phased in more quickly for schools set to gain. Cuts could be made to the state Department of Education, he said, to pay for budget increases to schools.
"I think it's a realistic request to ask the department to feel some of the pain," he said.
The formula is designed to calculate the costs of a student's education, allocating more money to those who are in poverty, who speak English as a second language or who are transient, like the children of military members. Students who go to smaller schools will have a higher "weight" because their education costs more.
Critics of the current budget system say it allocates funds under a hodgepodge of formulas, most of which are outdated. But opponents of the weighted student formula contend schools that face cuts will be forced to get rid of arts programs and noninstructional staff, including librarians.
The formula affects only state money.
And it uses the same $765 million instructional spending pot as the current system, which means every dollar cut at one school translates to a dollar gained at another school.
A committee made up of teachers, parents, principals and others designed the formula, which is a key part of the Reinventing Education Act of 2004. It does not affect funding of athletics, special education and other programs.
Six schools will be excluded from the formula: Hawaii Center for the Deaf and the Blind, Jefferson Orthopedic School and Pohukaina School, which serve special student populations; and Olomana, Keanae and Niihau schools, whose populations are so small that their funding would be skewed under the formula.

Obesity and diabetes are reaching epidemic proportion in the US. Researchers are looking for answers to these closely associated problems, knowing that a single magic bullet is unlikely. Weight management and blood sugar control are complex issues that need to be tackled from many angles, including exercise, thyroid hormone optimization, daily food choices, stress management, detoxification and even psychological factors which individuals may struggle with.
Metabolism plays a major role in weight management. Metabolism is the rate at which your body uses energy- in other words- how fast your "motor" runs.
Hypothyroidism is a well-known cause of slow metabolism, so healthy thyroid function can be very helpful in maintaining a healthy weight. Hypothyroidism results in a low temperature and is characterized by a high TSH level. However, people can still have low temperatures and slow metabolism even when their thyroid lab tests appear to be "normal." Body temperature is the best measure of how fast your "motor" is running. This article addresses how to check your temperature and what you can do if it's low.
Research suggests that natural ingredients may be helpful in supporting healthy metabolism. An interesting review article was just published in the journal Advanced Nutrition, addressing the topic of metabolism. The paper is a review of previously published research on natural ingredients which may support a healthy metabolism. Much of the research they uncovered was based on animal studies, but there were also clinical trials that tested the ingredients in humans.
This extensive article covered several different ingredients, so I'll be sharing that research over the course of 2 short blogs.
To start, we need to understand that "fat cells" aren't all one thing; in fact, there are 3 types of fat cells: white, beige and brown. As you may have guessed, beige fat cells are white fat cells caught in the process of slowly converting to brown cells.
When it comes to metabolism, brown fat cells burn more fuel and generate more heat. These are commonly referred to as "BAT" cells (brown adipose (fat) tissue). BAT, and beige cells to an extent, control blood sugar better, enhance insulin sensitivity, and are better at thermogenesis. Thermogenesis is the process the body uses to burn fuel to generate heat. BAT thermogenesis can be triggered by cold temperatures. BAT may help you manage your weight by helping you convert calories to heat.
White fat is the opposite of BAT, as it takes extra energy and stores it as triglycerides. White fat cells essentially convert calories to excess weight.
The focus of the review article is to identify compounds which support thermogenesis in BAT and a healthy metabolism. One of the most well-known plants for inducing thermogenesis is hot red peppers, which contain the natural chemical capsaicin. Multiple animal and human studies show that this ingredient effectively increases energy expenditure by enhancing "fat oxidation", a term which means that the large stored fat molecules are broken down into smaller parts and are used as energy resulting in weight loss.
Animal and human studies also show that capsaicin supplements tend to increase BAT activity and decrease fat mass when the subjects are exposed to cold temperatures. It has been shown that high dose capsaicin tends to increase the amount of beige fat cells (and ultimately BAT) and suppresses weight gain despite overeating. Animal studies indicate that capsaicin works on "beta adrenergic receptors" and therefore is more stimulating and energy consuming. The authors of the paper feel that more studies need to be done on the effect of capsaicin on weight for people, to help determine the most effective and safest doses.
Be sure to check out part two if this blog, where we will discuss more natural ingredients being researched for their potential in supporting healthy thermogenesis and metabolism!

Five-seater Sofa
Cute, contemporary and coveted in the Swoon HQ. Could the Dania be the best seat in the house?
Fun and fuss-free, this corner sofa is beautifully simple, its deep, hook-edge seat a beacon of hope in a world without enough cosiness. Hence our obsession with it.
And when it comes to actually sitting down, two loose back cushions – achingly soft and filled with fibre – balance out the support of a fixed seat. Though the arms of this five-seater sofa are slim enough to give more seating space, they're also lightly padded. Because we thought you'd like that.
Designs are made with natural materials and are handcrafted one at a time. There may be natural variations in colour and texture that are not product flaws, they make your design truly one-of-a-kind.
An original piece for the contemporary home, progressive and beautifully designed. In the Swoon Studio, we create with urban landscapes as our point of inspiration. Cracks running through concrete on city streets, the architecture of an old railway station, the birds-eye view of paths in a green space. We see the extraordinary within the ordinary. We use it to fuel a new wave of design.

Australian-first collaboration sees AHM ads served to commuters via synchronised OOH and radio
To promote AHM Insurance, Australian Traffic Network and oOh! Media will deliver synchronised radio and out-of-home advertising to peak-hour commuters.
An Australian-first collaboration between the Australian Traffic Network (ATN) and oOh!media will see simultaneous messages delivered to commuters via out-of-home (OOH) and radio for health insurer AHM.
The week-long campaign, which starts today, synchronises AHM's OOH and sponsored traffic report advertising across six strategically-located digital billboards and ATN's commercial radio traffic reports in Melbourne.
oOH!media's roadside digital billboards will show an uninterrupted AHM ad for six minutes at both the top and bottom of the hour, at the same time as the ATN traffic reports air on radio.
The collaboration is a great example of realising the potential of OOH and radio advertising working together, says Brendon Cook, oOh!media CEO.
"Here is a unique opportunity for a client, being able to align two media channels for a captured audience using the same message in a contextually relevant way. Working together has allowed us to bring this opportunity to life," he says.
Brian Magee, managing director of media agency Posterscope, another project collaborator, says, "We know from internal research that our audience has a high propensity to listen to the radio simultaneously while consuming OOJ, making the combination the perfect mix for optimum impact."

The SA Police Union (Sapu) general secretary Oscar Skommere says they have resumed with the strike at 10111 because they've been fighting a losing battle with police management since it temporarily suspended the strike.
He says they suspended the strike with the hope that CCMA's intervention will yield positive results, but they were wrong.
For the past two weeks we've been battling with Saps management ... Popcru was also not willing to accept any suggestion that was put forward.— Oscar Skommere, Sapu general secretary
We felt that these guys are really playing games which is the reason why we decided to go back to the strike.— Oscar Skommere, Sapu general secretary
Skommere says the process Saps wants to take to resolve the issues is going to impact negatively on the employees.
He says Saps wants to change the terms of employment for the call centre agents from Public Servant Personnel to Police Act employees under Saps.
With the Police Act, employees will have to re-apply and be assessed, but most will not qualify in terms of the requirements as those terms were not there when they were first hired as call centre agents, says Skommere.

It was midweek on the Upper East Side, and the maître d' wore a calla lily speared through a tiny braid behind his head and garlands of amulets, including one draped across his brow.
Beyond him, the room was wall-to-wall blazers and wire-rimmed glasses, men with soufflés of gray-white hair and women whose beauty seemed to violate the rules of time, reminiscing about Art Basel or lamenting a burst pipe in the house on the Vineyard.
The East Pole opened in September as an uptown sequel to the vaguely British fashion-crowd canteen the Fat Radish, on the Lower East Side. While the downtown original occupies a former sausage factory, the East Pole unfurls over the garden and parlor floors of a prewar townhouse. (Ben Towill and Phil Winser, the Fat Radish's owners, have teamed up here with Anthony and Tom Martignetti, of Brinkley's.)
Inside, ceilings are low, light bulbs naked, specials handwritten on mirrors. Dark navy booths in tight, shiny leather, tufted with white buttons like studs of pearl, flank the room. A few coats hang on hooks by the front door, pub-style, but this is what you might call casual-aspirational: Most diners check theirs (and tip properly afterward, or should).
A few of the Fat Radish's greatest hits are reprised. (The chef, Nicholas Wilber, ran the kitchen downtown and continues to oversee it from afar.) So here are thick slabs of potato that have wallowed in duck fat before being deep-fried, resulting in an almost glassine crust; a substantial burger with laurels of bacon; and the Scotch egg, soft-boiled, mantled in crumbled sausage (permeated with sage, allspice and onions, and closer to meatball than sausage), rolled in bread crumbs and fried. The egg comes from a pastured chicken, although the menu modestly refrains from telling you so, and arrives cloven in two, revealing its strata and core of dark orange, creamy yolk.
But these are distractions. The best dishes, as at the Fat Radish, revolve around vegetables, like purple, golden and white cauliflower sprawled over black lentils, the last underscored by a faint red curry that is a delicate cousin to vindaloo (more tingle than inferno); knobby roasted parsnips whose sweetness is offset by wheat berries mellowed in orange-scented Allagash White beer; a fluffy beet-and-walnut hummus with whole radishes and crunchy tufts of Romanesco broccoli as crudités. Butternut squash is cooked down with apples and onions almost to the point of soup, then tossed with rock shrimp and cavatelli for a pasta that tastes confoundingly rich and light at once.
On each of my visits, the servers delivered long, lyrical paragraphs on the merits of the oysters. They deserved it, those lovely hand-harvested Moon Shoals from Barnstable, Mass., each a shot of brine ebbing to a bright, lucid finish.
Then the entrees arrived and the lights grew dim. One evening, scallops were tough; a heritage Red Wattle pork chop was verging on gray. Twice I ordered the fish pie, with its gorgeous, cloudy head of pastry that seemed to rise before the eyes, but neither time did I detect lobster, tarragon or fennel, as promised on the menu. (An Englishman at my table took a bite, looked pained and gently pushed the plate away. "No more of that," he said.)
In such company, chicken Kiev was exciting, the flesh almost preening with salt under its crispy lid of skin. But there was no buttery gush from inside, not even an ooze, only a hollow containing the smallest dab of minced broccoli florets and garlic butter. (This, too, I ordered twice, ever hopeful.)
Desserts seem perfunctory: blocks of chocolate bread pudding, a $10 slice of apple pie that goes up to $15 should you wish it à la mode. A so-called adult sundae is adult only in the sense that all the fun is gone, scoops arrayed stolidly in a row. True, the chocolate ice cream is spiked with Scotch and the cherries soaked with Pimm's, but these come off as mostly medicinal. Hardly an incentive to grow up.
But look around: The place is packed. Half a beautiful farm-to-table meal is still cause to rejoice on the Upper East Side. So keep to the top half of the menu, eat your vegetables, sit back and let the waiter call you "love."

Wreck fishing can be split into two categories:
- Drift fishing — the most popular form of wreck fishing. Anglers drift over a shipwreck to catch fish near or on the wreck itself.
- Anchored fishing — typically used to target snapper, grouper and other reef dwelling bottom fish. Anglers anchor on a spot and chum the water to attract fish from a wide area.
A wide variety of species can be found on the Gulf wrecks off Key West. Victims of World War II mines, German torpedoes or other boats that simply sank to the bottom of the ocean floor can be discovered in the southern Gulf of Mexico.
In the past, wreck fishing was as simple as getting near a wreck, lowering your bait and waiting for the fish to come! Now, anglers looking for wrecks have to travel faster and farther, in boats like our 26-foot Panga, Reel Lucky Too. She is equipped with top-of-the-line Penn rods and reels, and she's perfect for fishing around gulf wrecks, flats and channels.

Review of Asus Zenfone 5 #MyAsusZenfone…..
In addition to other exciting features, Zenfone 5 sports a Power Saver app offering users three options: an ultra-saving mode that disconnects the network connection when the device is asleep; optimised mode, which doesn't switch off data, and a custom mode which can be tweaked by the user, which could be used to increase battery life while traveling and save energy.
The ZenFone 5 sports an 8-megapixel autofocus rear camera with an f/2.0 aperture lens and LED flash. There is also a 2-megapixel front camera. The camera app offers 18 modes – there's Auto, HDR, Panorama, Night, Low-light, Selfie (detects faces within the frame automatically), Miniature, Depth of Field (background blur), Smart Remove (removes unwanted moving objects) are some I used out of 18 modes.
The ZenFone 5's camera application also offers settings for shutter, focus, brightness, image size, ISO, white balance, colour effects, timer, geo-tagging, shutter sound, and storage, which as a food photographer I thoroughly admire. Zoom can be adjusted by pinching in and out, and the volume buttons also double as shutter keys when you're in the app though there is an onscreen button as well. We tested the camera of the ZenFone 5 outdoor on a bright sunny day and indoors in the sufficient natural light. The photos were crisp and had good amounts of detail.
Fruit Cream Recipe
- ½ litre thick curd
- 1 Cup light cream
- 4 tbsp powdered sugar or as per taste
- ¼ Cup milk if required
- 2 tbsp pistachio slivers
- 2 tbsp granulated white sugar
- 2 tbsp water
Fruits required
- 8 to 10 fresh strawberries
- 6 to 8 red globe grapes
- Other fruits mango/kiwi/litchi/orange/raspberry etc
- To prepare cream for the fruit cream, first line metal strainer with muslin cloth or any other kitchen linen. Pour curd over the muslin cloth and let water drain out from the curd.
- After few minutes tie muslin cloth into a knot shape and hang over the kitchen sink or any other high point in kitchen. And let the curd stand this way for 3 to 4 hours.
- The end result from this process will be thick soft cheese like hung curd. Open the muslin cloth next day and transfer thick ball of curd to a bowl.
- Add sugar, cream and using electric hand blender (in this case I used KitchenAid 7 speed blender) whip the mixture to get smooth pouring consistency liquid. If the liquid is still thick add little milk and then whip again for 5 minutes. There should not be any lumps in the liquid mixture. Taste for sweetness and adjust the sugar amount accordingly.
- Keep the cream mixture in fridge while you prepare the fruits.
- Clean, wash and pat dry all the fruits with kitchen towel. Remove the green stem of strawberries and finely chop them. Transfer berries to a pan sprinkle granulated sugar and water. Simmer over medium heat until berries turn soft and ooze out their juices. We are looking for fruit compote like consistency. Turn off the heat, transfer berry compote to a bowl and let it cool down to room temperature.
- Meanwhile slice the remaining fruits (grapes/mango/kiwi). I have used combination of strawberry, red globe grapes and mini oranges along with pistachios.
- To assemble fruit cream, in serving bowl or glasses line the bottom with layer of chilled cream mixture then on top arrange layer of sliced fruits. Third layer will be again of cream and then strawberry compote.
- Once layering is done on top garnish with pistachio slivers and fruit slices. Keep in fridge for chilling before serving. Serve chilled.

Good underwear needs no gussying up and the Baskit Urban Basics Briefs (normally $21) are a prime example. However, these basics are actually anything but. And to prove it, Baskit has offered this prime package real estate for a special $12 deal this Tuesday only!
The Baskit Urban Basics Briefs are for the man who likes to KISS. We're talking about the acronym from our primary school days, of course: Keep It Simple, Stupid. That is what these low waisted, 95% cotton/5% elastane, briefs do.
Looks however are deceiving. The Baskit Urban Basic Briefs are well cut. The briefs ride high up the thigh, creating a narrower gap between waistband and brief than most basic briefs. Their pouch is seamless and designed for an amazing and comfortable fit. The waistband is medium width, and sewn into the briefs themselves. The Baskit name, separated by the two slash marks, is centered just below the navel and repeated around the band with space in between each. The coloring between the two orange/red racing stripes is slightly darker than the actual brief fabric adding a designed look that is not over the top but not oversimplified either.
The backside of The Baskit Urban Basics Briefs is designed with mold in mind. They hug your behind and accentuate your backside with elegant grace. These briefs remind us that going back to basics is actually taking a big step forward.
They are available in black or white with orange stripes on the band and come in all sizes from S-XL. Order this Tuesday and get The Baskit Urban Basics Briefs for $12!
Ever gone back to the basics? When have you rebooted your life or look? Let us know with a comment below or by tweeting @underwearexpert

My smelly summer ritual and the lessons learned from it
elaine | June 9, 2010
Every year it happens. It is pretty much a given that at one point in the summer one or both of my Bernese Mountain Dogs will end up on the wrong end of a skunk.
Last summer while on a leisurely evening walk my pack was hit by a roadside stink bomb. It started when [...]

My holiday is fast approaching and over this last week, I have been buying the last clothing pieces for my holiday. I don't always buy lots of clothes before I go on away and I do have some clothes in my wardrobe already that I'd consider to be my holiday clothes but as I went on holiday quite often in quick succession of one another last year, I wanted to update my suitcase with some new pieces for my trips this summer.
You can see all of these pieces in my new video and you can read on to find out more about them!
The first place that I headed to was Primark because it is affordable, cheerful and great for trend led pieces. I only bought two clothing pieces as I've been in there a lot recently and I couldn't find much else that I wanted.
The first item that I bought was this black maxi skirt that has a split up either side. I thought that this would be light and airy which is important for me as when I checked the temperature in Morocco yesterday, it was 35 degrees Celsius. I think that this will be nice to wear at night with a cami or during the day with a long top and a kimono. We'll see!
The other clothing piece that I bought was this lime top from the swimwear section. it has a deep v at the front and back and cinches in under the bust with a tie that has little gold toggles on the end.
I also picked up some bangles in this gorgeous mixed metal colour palette. I really like these because they'll be able to go with so many different outfits and I can mix and match my other jewellery with them easily.
I also bought some huge sunglasses for only £1. I wanted some cheapies that I could just throw in my bag and not worry about and these are definitely them but they feel substantial and look very chic too!
After my Primark trip, I thought that it was really about time that I started trying to put my outfits together and decide what I need and what I already have enough of. I like to shop online mostly so it didn't take me long to search out the pieces that I needed. I headed straight to ASOS.
I purchased a shirt that I intend to wear on holiday as a dress, like in this post, and knew that I needed something to go underneath it. The ASOS lace trim leggings were perfect for this. I had to buy mine a few sizes smaller as they were low on stock but they fit perfectly as they're very stretchy. They've now completely gone out of stock but I do hope they bring them back so that you can all have a chance to get them if you wish as they're so handy.
To go with the same outfit, I bought a 2 pack of vintage style skinny belts. The black one looks great with my shirt dress and the tan coloured one will go with so many of my casual dresses this summer.
I also bought a pair of the ASOS Curve Exclusive Culotte Jersey Shorts to wear as I thought that they would be a different option for while I'm away, other than a dress, and also something different that I could wear back in the UK too once the weather warms up a bit. I do need to still have a look to see which tops I have that would go with these though as I'm unsure as to what I'd wear with them.
As many of you know, it was my first wedding anniversary this month and when I saw the Wifey top on ASOS, I knew that I had to have it to wear on the day. I'm not sure whether I'll be taking this on holiday with me but I did enjoy wearing it on our anniversary.
The last thing that I bought from ASOS was this AMAZING New Look Fringe Clutch Bag. I have lusted after this bag for so long but didn't want to buy it as we all know how much of a fan I am of my designer pieces, sad but true. However I figured, I have only just started to like the fringe trend and I don't know whether this will continue, so I'd rather save my money and buy a more affordable one than splurge on a designer piece that I might not like in the future.
This bag is literally everything. I love it. The tan colour is gorgeous, I can wear it across my body, over my shoulder or as a clutch if I remove the long strap and I think it will be perfect to wear all summer!
Then I headed over to Simply Be to place an order for some swimwear and nightwear. I always get these from Simply Be because they have the best selection and on the whole, the fit is very good. I bought two swim dresses from the Liz McClarnon range, a coral and white spot one and a watermelon swimdress and I also bought the Magisculpt 'The Wonderpiece'. I love that each of these pieces will look great with my new coral flip flops from this haul.
The PJs that I got came in a pack of two with one tutti fruitti pair and one 'pick me' floral pair. They're called the Pretty Secrets Pack of 2 Shortie Pyjamas and what I loved about them is that they're a vest top and shorts; I haven't worn PJs like this in a long time!
Lastly, I paid a visit to what is probably my favourite place to shop online at the moment and that's Boohoo. Their plus size range is just killing it and every time I'm on there I'm filled with heart eyed emojis.
The first thing that I bought from BoohooPLUS had my name all over it, literally. The Laura Neon Printed Maxi Dress looked bold and bright online and when it arrived, I loved it even more. I knew it would be a good fit as I've bought similar maxi dresses from Boohoo in the past but there is something about this dress that makes it even more special. The print and the colours in it are so lovely and they don't look particularly over whelming when you're wearing it. I cannot wait to wear this dress on holiday.
Another bright dress that caught my eye was the Katie Neon Paisley Swing Dress which combines a bright yellow with a deep purple in a colour combination that I have never tried out before. I love the bold, unusual paisley print on the dress too. I think that this piece would be great for a relaxed, casual evening but also good for throwing on over my swim suit during the day as it is a very relaxed, comfortable fit.
There was also another paisley style that caught my eye, the Isabelle Printed Skater Dress which is an orange dress with a beautiful intricate design on it. I will be wearing this at night when on holiday but I think that it would be a great day dress with some leggings when I'm back in the UK too.
The last piece that I bought from Boohoo is the most stunning floral dress. The Tammy Floral Printed Skater Dress is a perfect addition to my summer wardrobe with its white backdrop and colourful flower patterns, I just know that its going to look lovely with a suntan. The material of this one is a little thicker, almost like a scuba material so I'm really hoping that it isn't too hot for me while I'm away.
I hope that you find something amongst these pieces to inspire your wardrobe this summer. Please head over to watch my video and give it a thumbs up!
Are you off on holiday this summer, where are you going?

Last July my family and I checked out The Alberta Railway Museum in Edmonton, AB. (Click here for that article.) Due to a computer glitch we couldn't finish the second installment that was originally planned.
So, here's some info on the museum and we hope to do many more as my family and I travel to, learn about and hear from other museums.
The Alberta Railway Museum is referred to as an open air museum as most of the exhibits and fun are outside and not in buildings. Although there are some buildings on site and a great gift shop, most of the fun is when you walk from and into exhibit to exhibit!
When does it open in 2016? the park opened May long weekend and is open summer weekends only. Hours are from 10 am to 5 pm. CLICK HERE for more info.
What can you see? Restored, Refurbished ........

Building, designing and launching model rockets is a great hobby that the whole family can enjoy doing; there is rocket fun for every skill level. There are a few things to consider when you begin your journey into model rocketry. Take this information into mind when purchasing your rocket and rocket accessories.
1) Open Area - It is very important you launch your model rockets in open areas, away from homes, businesses and NOT around airports. It is recommended to use an open field, like a farm or soccer field. Make sure to ask for permission first.
2) Even Ground - Launch your rockets from a level platform and always straight up. If the launch pad is tilted just a few degrees your rocket could end up several hundred feet away. Flying your rocket at a 90 degree, perpendicular angle....

Model railroading is fascinating and has been dubbed by many as the "World's Greatest Hobby". It is very versatile and incorporates many learning opportunities and is so much fun for all ages. It includes creativity with sculpturing, painting, airbrushing, decorating and landscaping, and encourages scientific exploration of electronics, physics, mechanics, engineering and architecture, all combined with humour, friendship, family activities, social interaction, and the great sense of accomplishment.
Many people who visit us ask if there is significance to the letter referral to different size trains; N, HO, O, G, etc. The answer is YES!! We've compiled a list of all the scales and why they were named with that letter designation.
Please leave a comment after you've read this post and let us know what your thoughts on gauge and scale are and if this was helpful to you or not.
T - Ø 1:450 (referred to as 'Tiny' or 'Tokyo' as it was introduced at the Tokyo Toy Show in 2006)
ZZ - Ø 1:300 (Until the 2006 announcement of T scale, ZZ scale was the smallest commercially available scale for model railroads)
Z - Ø 1:220 (with all the letters identifying gauges Z became the smallest so they used the last letter in the alphabet)
N - Ø 1:160 (track gauge is 9mm, the N stands for Nine mm)
2mm - Ø 1:152 (similar in size to the slightly larger British N scale at 1:148 and the slightly smaller European/American N scale at 1:160; it predates both versions of N scale)
TT - Ø 1:120 (referred to as Table Top as it fit so easily on coffee tables)
3mm - Ø 1:101 (also known as 3 mm finescale, is a model railway scale of 3 mm: 1ft used for British prototypes. Introduced as British TT gauge)
OO- Ø 1:76 (Runs on HO track and is the British counterpart)
HOn3 - Ø 1:87 (The "n" in HOn3 stands for 'narrow gauge', HOn3 is still HO scale)
HO - Ø 1:87 (Half O or 'aitch oh')
S - Ø 1:64 (First named Standard Gauge then to represent that Scale that was half of 1 gauge which was built to 1:32 scale)
On3 - Ø 1:48 (is narrow gauge O scale)
O - Ø 1:48 (was referred as zero (or 0h) gauge)
G - Ø 1:22.5 ( G stands for Garden)
Live Steam - Ø 1:2, 1:4 or 1:3 scale (Ridable, large-scale, powered by steam)
Gauge refers to the width of the track, measured between the railheads. Different from scale, which is proportion to life-size.
At present, Chinook & Hobby West carries three Scales of Model Trains for Sale: O scale, HO Scale, and N scale. This article was researched through Atlas, Kato, NMRA and Bachmann.

Note: Portions of this review appeared in our Xbox 360 Review of Dead or Alive 5.
After a successful launch in 2012 and an enhanced portable version earlier this year, Team Ninja is continuing to give what their fans want the most: more Dead or Alive. While the Japanese company has been developing upgraded re-releases of Ninja Gaiden, this is the first time the treatment has been applied to the fighting game series since Dead or Alive 2. It doesn't come without reason as Ultimate happens to be the most complete and expansive Dead or Alive title to date, offering better online play, more characters and a slew of new features.
The basic formula to previous DOA games remains the same, and being a fighting game, that's generally not a bad thing — especially when the system is as solid as this. Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate uses the "Triangle System" (also known as "Rock Paper Scissors"), where certain moves defeat others. The four basic movies are punches, kicks, throws and holds — each mapped to a different face button. Punches take priority over throws, holds take priority over punches and throws take priority over holds. While there are a ton of intricacies, such as holding at different heights or guarding, the formula remains the same. It's an easy-to-grasp system that makes DOA not only less-frustrating than other titles to master, but accessible for the unconverted.
While the fundamentals remain the same, the presentation has received a graphical overhaul. Stages have been refined to better take advantage of the settings. Pinning opponents against walls occurs more frequently and level-specific "Danger Zones" have been updated with "Cliffhangers", allowing the downed combatant to make one desperate grab before falling. Cosmetically, the most noticeable change is the addition of perspiration. As the match goes on, fighters begin to sweat depending on the effort put forth. Characters eventually become drenched in sweat that, yes, makes clothing see-through. While seemingly irrelevant, it adds a lair of realism to the game that makes it seem more immediate.
While on the subject of translucent tops, it'd be foolish not to bring up the "breast physics". While bouncing breasts have always been a staple of the fighting series, they've been completely shaken up — literally. Female assets moved based on the costume worn and traced movement, but it reached the point where it was just silly. Jiggle. Any tiny movement will elicit breast movement. Extend an arm? Jiggle. Take a step forward? Jiggle. Smile? Jiggle. While the new physics were intended to add realism to character models, it ironically made the game less genuine. Let's be honest, though; ridiculous as it may be, it's doubtful Tecmo will be receiving any complaints from male fans any time soon.
Unfortunately, the game doesn't sound as good as it looks. Throughout the entire campaign is an atrocious English dub that makes the story more unintentionally funny than it already is. With over-expressive reactions and voices that don't match the characters, it hardly seems like any effort was put forth. Thankfully, the language can be changed to Japanese with subtitles from the main menu, displaying the emotion the English dub should have carried. While it's a nice option and certainly recommended, players shouldn't have to be forced to play a game in another language to avoid poor voice acting.
For the most part, Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate maintains the same core gameplay mechanics that the original version had, but there's now a slew of new additions to enhance the experience. For example, complementing the Power Blow is the Power Launcher which, as the name suggests, sends an opponent flying into the air ever so comically, opening up a potential short juggle. All the training modes found in DOA5+ are available as well, including even more extensive Tutorials, Combo Challenges and Command Training sessions. New to this section is Team Fight which allows players to choose any seven characters to cycle through as they battle another group of equivalent strength. Once one character falls, the next steps up to take his or her place. It's a nice distraction, but is heavily overshadowed by the new online enhancements that will ensure continuous play for many months.
New to the online component is the inclusion of tag mode, allowing players to team up for two-on-two battles. I don't know why this wasn't included in Dead or Alive 5 to begin with considering its predecessor contained it, but regardless, we're getting it now. The max ranking has also been increased from S+ to U, which should open up a new level of skill, most of which will be exclusive to a very select few individuals. Finally, while grade points are still accumulated through continuous online play, each fighter will also earn their own set of character points. There's not much functionality here as it's only really there to show off against your opponent at the beginning of a match, which is unfortunate as something like this would be prime for unlocking costumes or various other aesthetics.
As for new characters, five familiar faces that span across multiple properties from both Team Ninja and Sega make an appearance. From Ninja Gaiden we have Momiji and Rachel, Dead or Alive's Leon and Ein (who's just Hayate with amnesia) make a return, and Jacky Bryant from Virtua Fighter rejoins his sister. Each individual has a unique fighting style that blends perfectly with the game, although it's strange seeing Rachel battling with her fists rather than her trusty War Hammer. Additionally, there are five new stages that should peek fan interest. Unfortunately, the only one that pops out is the Sky City Tokyo which throws in the giant Buddha statue from Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 that will interrupt the match. While the rest are well designed and look visually pleasing, the layouts aren't anything to gawk over.
Closing Comments:
If you didn't jump on the bandwagon when Dead or Alive 5 was released last year, now is the perfect time to do so. Team Ninja continues to validate the series' placement in the fighting game community by offering the most complete and robust experience yet. While the new stages are relatively straightforward, the additional characters, finely tuned modes and enhanced online multiplayer component help justify the Ultimate in the title. Whether you're new to the series or a hardcore fan, there's something here for everyone.

Art meets science – experiments in photography
The camera has always been a useful laboratory tool. Here we preview an exhibition that charts the partnership from the beginning and look at how high speed photography can still reveal remarkable insights today.
Science and art have always had a close relationship – both seek to observe and explain the world.
Leonardo da Vinci's drawings, for instance, did much to unravel the anatomy of the human body, while his imagination and draughtsmanship took us to new technological realms.
But in the 20th and 21st centuries, the nexus between art and science has been strained, and sometimes lost. C.P. Snow's 1959 lecture, The Two Cultures, bemoaned the way Western intellectual life had been split into the two camps – the sciences and the humanities. This, he said, was holding us back from solving some of the world's most intractable problems.
But it was not always this way, as this selection of images celebrating how art has aided science and vice versa - taken from an exhibition at London's Science Museum - shows.
Revelations: Experiments in Photography investigates the influence of early scientific photography on modern and contemporary art and includes some of the rarest images from the pioneers of photography.
"From the 1840s, scientists were using photography as a device to record and measure phenomena which lay beyond human vision," the catalogue tells us.
"The aesthetic beauty of this early photography and the revolutionary techniques developed for scientific study shaped the history of photography and heavily influenced modern and contemporary art photographers."
The exhibition gathers some of the earliest photographic images by figures such as William Henry Fox Talbot and Eadweard Muybridge alongside works by modern and contemporary artists including Harold Edgerton and Hiroshi Sugimoto. It includes the earliest recorded images of the Moon and 19th century photographs capturing electrical discharges.
The exhibition runs in London until November when it moves to the National Media Museum in Bradford, UK, from 19 November 2015 – 7 February 2016.
The art of photography to help scientists understand the world around them is far from dead, as we showed in our recent gallery Making Waves.
In that, high-speed photography specialist Phred Petersen at RMIT University shows the beautiful patterns waves make as they pass through gases. Petersen's work helps aerospace engineers understand the airflow around their designs.

Ah… summertime is here, and where I live, here in the northeastern part of the good old U.S.A., summertime means that nature has finally come back to life. For me that means that along with all the other green growth, my meditation practice can blossom too. You see, I love to meditate outside surrounded by nature. I love to sit in the wilderness—in every sense of the expression.
When we're sitting outside in a beautiful place surrounded by greenery with a delicious soundtrack provided by singing birds, and perhaps the sound of rustling leaves and moving water, it's a whole lot easier to experience sensations of transcendent unity, isn't it? Surrounded by verdant serenity, and that congenial chit-chat with Mother Nature, it's easy to free our mind from the stodgy demands of serial thought and simply experience the peace beneath it all. Our social and material concerns fall aside, and we can perceive the thinness of that membrane that only seems to separate us from the Divine. We are that too.
"Sitting in the wilderness" has always had a metaphoric power as well, for a meditator like me, because two of my most important spiritual inspirations personified, the Buddha and Jesus, each sat in the wilderness as a means to overcoming that delusion of separateness; and it's their experience of overcoming the obstacles presented by everyday life (and the machinations of my human intellect) that I reenact, in a way, every time I sit outside on my rock.
Each of them, out there alone in nature, were met by three tenacious challenges that arose the instant they realized they were not really alone, that there was a whole different person out there (and in here) with them—an antagonistic aspect of their own inner natures. For the Buddha, he was called Mara, the tempter; and for Jesus, of course, it was good old, bad old Satan.
In our present-day psychological mythology, it's no great metaphorical stretch to realize that these two bad actors are personifications of what we may call our "ego mind"—the mental interface of expectations, desires and fears that obscure our natural view of the divine—and those happen to be the very three obstacles, the three "temptations" presented to our spiritual heroes, and so, to each of us too.
First, Mara pointed out to Buddha that he should really be "the King" of the realm, just as the devil offered Jesus dominion over all. And wouldn't any of us love that, the kind of complete control over our world we may often expect? To be granted the ability to exercise our will to make reality conform to our wishes, and feed our prideful sense of entitlement. But our two good guys recognized the nasty ego in the offer and humbly refused, because they knew that there were much greater forces at work in their lives that were eternally in charge in a way they could never be. Forces that were always directing their lives, that only karma—the cause and effect of the actions we take and the choices we make—could help determine.
I don't know about you, but it'd be nice to be compared to Buddha and Jesus, good for my ego, you know, and that's how sitting in the wilderness works—it helps develop a natural, healthier ego. For example, next (like me, too) they were tempted by the crazy idea that sensory gratification—luxurious surroundings, extravagant meals, hot sexual encounters, et cetera—could bring me some kind of peace and happiness; but even I have learned that a paunchy, jaded camel with a lot of bling can't fit through the eye of that needle, or easily enter "the Kingdom" of transcendent unity. Sensory satisfactions are far too tenuous and easily overlooked to affect any real fulfillment.
Our heroes knew that craving empty promises only made it more difficult to find peace, so when Mara offered the Buddha his delightful daughters, Buddha said they're lovely—but thanks anyways; and when the devil pointed out that Jesus could change a rock into fresh bread, and so eat anything he wanted, anytime, he famously replied, it isn't only bread that really gives us life.
The last underlying default of that nasty ego-foe that assaults us while we're trying to sit peacefully under the tree of our true nature, or in the desert of ignorance that this world can be, is simply fear. Fear of consequences. Fear of unfulfilled desires. Fear of death. Mara sent an army of vicious warriors (I think it was about "a million and thirty-six," or something crazy like that), and they hurled a barrage of pointy weapons at Gautama as he sat beneath the bodhi tree. The devil took Jesus up to the top of the temple and said, I'm gonna throw you off your most important pinnacle, and see if you bounce!
Of course, Jesus just said, we don't even need to test the fact that God has a net; and when Gautama just smiled at the attack, the spears and arrows turned to a flurry of fluttering flowers, and he became the Buddha.
You are taken care of. Fear is not real, unless you give it that power. Death is just part of growing through Life.
Now, I'm not suggesting that you can become Christ, or the Buddha, but I don't think they'd mind at all if you followed their examples when you head out into the wilderness this summer, to sit on a rock by the river, or on a misty mountain top, or on a backyard patch of green, growing grass. In a wilderness where human unconsciousness is the most terrifying force known, knowing the shape of our ego temptations—the tenacious tendencies to revert to thoughts of self-importance, sensory desires, or unnecessary anxieties and fears—is the first step to lifting the veil that separates us from the potential of Love.
Out on my rock in the summer mornings, I often see fish jumping out of the water and snapping up breakfast, and I realize that we're just like that ourselves—we have to occasionally escape the medium of our submerged lives, and jump free for the thing that really nourishes us, that's always right there, with a little effort. Out there in the wilderness it's easy to break the surface, and let the light come pouring through everything around you.
Just mind the bears… I think that's when fear just might be real.

What a lovely section of track! The high country has so much beauty, so many surprises. Phillack Saddle is a wonderful spot to camp on lawns tended by nature's gardeners amid the alpine heath. There is beautiful clear water just off the saddle and a lovely stream (below) at Freemans Flat. It will be about 7.5 hours to our car at the Block 10 Road – if we make it!
Phillack Saddle
Freemans Flat
100 yards after Phillack Saddle you come to the new track across to Baw Baw
Spot helped put up the Zpacks Solo Plus tent whilst Tiny rested.
Della and Tiny went to bed early. They are old girls!
The new Maratac torch makes a great lantern: http://www.theultralighthiker.com/mini-super-torch-a-weeks-light-weighs-50-grams/
Tiny was tired out. She is 16 1/2.
There are other lovely spots to camp along the way but no water until Whitelaws Hut and then .5 km after the Upper Yarra turn-off. After two hours you reach the Whitelaw Hut site (water to the North). Another hour brings you out onto the old forest road up from Newlands which you will follow. Half an hour along it you come to the intersection. It is only @3km down to Newlands Rd but the road is overgrown with seasonal weeds which will slow you down. 1.5-2 hours for this section, then about 2.5 to the Block 10 Road.
The dogs demonstrate: 'High Point'.
There are many friendly critters along the way: fantail.
Hurry Up' says Spot.
We are always too slow for him. He is only 3!
Here we are for lunch at Whitelaws Hut. There are plenty of camps here.
Tiny helped hreself to a muesli bar from my pack when I wasn't looking. Chewy!
Many beautiful flowers adorn the path.
And interesting denizens: this was the fattest skink I have ever seen. Must have been nearly 1″ in diameter but only 6″ long!
An hour after Whitelaws Hut you hit an old road – which should be kept clear for emergencies and park maintenance in my opinion, but it is neglected.
You can easily walk abreast along here.
This is the turnoff. Turn downhill, South. Parks have stuffed a hopeless map between the timbers. That is the sum total of their efforts.
There were many beautiful sites in this section, but as much of it needed slashing, I forgot to take photos.
Lots of spots you could camp on the way down to Newlands. There is water as well where you first cross the Thomson – which is 60 cm wide at this point. The road is wide and level.
A huge dead tree suddenly crashed down as we passed: There but for fortune…
The Frangipani Saddle – and the skull of a hiker our dogs pulled down and ate!
Snack time at Frangipani Saddle.
Newlands Rd is the most gorgeous in the whole world!
Della striding out once more.
You cross (and parallel) the diminutive Thomson River lots of times. It abounds in trout. There are numerous camping opportunities in Newlands Rd. The last is at the final crossing where there is a fine spot and a sign saying, ' No Camping'.
Newlands is just outstandingly beautiful…
And no cars…
Just the bush, Spot and Tiny, and us.
Anything for me, Della? Smackos?
This granite tor had rolled a long way!
There are bridges so you won't get your feet wet anywhere from the Mushroom Rocks car park.
After the last crossing you can take a prominent road to the North.
Well something had been eating them. Not me unless I'm sure though.
After about half a km there is a pretty little lake full of trout!
A superb camp site. Nobody around.
MMBW Control gates.
We encountered this giant worm out for a walk!
At last, here we are at the Block 10 Road gates. There are a couple of nice spots to camp here, but no water – go back to the lake!
For the section Baw Baw to Phillack Saddle see: http://www.theultralighthiker.com/upper-yarra-track-baw-baw-to-newlands-rd/
This map may help. You should walk along the Village Trail clockwise. That way you will come to the new track to Phillack Saddle before you come to the old which is wee-nigh impassable – though we managed it. On the new track it is 1-1.5 hours; probably nearer 3 on the old. Be warned!

Soup soup soup. Yesterday, it was lunchtime and Cowboy had his go-to food of tortillas with melted cheese and some chopped onion (usually he has salsa, but we don't have any right now). I was hungry, but I've been so saturated with American convenience food lately that I just couldn't face anything that was quick and nutritionally empty.
I raided the fridge. I found: carrots, half an onion that Cowboy had left, a small, radiant, yellow cauliflower that I picked up at the farm shop because it was pretty, and some broccoli with rather more stalk than usual. Soup was the only logical step from there. I'm obsessed with spicy soup.
First, roughly chop the onion and throw in a large saucepan with a good glug of olive oil.
Chunk up the carrots and throw them in too. I didn't even bother to peel them. Extra fibre!
Chop up the cauliflower and throw the florets in there too. I wanted to save most of the broccoli florets for supper tonight, so I chopped off the stalk, chunked that up and threw it in the pan along with two or three broccoli florets, for a bit of green.
Fry it all up for a while, and add a good teaspoon or so of curry powder, and about half a teaspoon of turmeric (I wanted to preserve the yellow colour). Cook the spices for a moment.
Add chicken stock – I used just enough to cover the vegetables in the pan – and simmer until the veg is tender.
As a side note, Cowboy and I went to look at some model homes yesterday, as a bit of amusement, and there were several lovely kitchens with roof lights right over the islands, and I thought how lovely it would be to have good light when I'm cooking, rather than squinting under the hood with barely any light at all. One can dream.
When the vegetables are cooked and soft, blend it all up. Mine came out pretty thick when it was blended, and I added a little more water.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Then this next part is completely optional – but it will change your life.
OK, life-changing is probably a tiny exaggeration.
Get out the Sharwood's Mango Chutney. Fish around in the jar to avoid the chunks of mango, and drop in two good dolloping teaspoons of chutney. Stir it in, it will melt and disappear in moments. What it will leave behind is a hint of tangy, sweet spiciness that goes wonderfully with the cauliflower and curry.
The colour is divine.
It would even make a good curry sauce to pour over chicken and rice instead of a coconut milk based sauce. Not exactly authentic Indian cuisine, but still tasty.
Cowboy had to leave the house at this point, as curry isn't really his thing.
I snarfed down a bowl of goodness with a crusty white bread roll and butter. It was just the job on a damp and slightly chilly day, and it kept me going until after 9pm. It also satisfied my vague craving for curry without having to leave the house. A win all the way around!
Plenty of leftovers to eat today, which is another classic Pacific Northwest grey and damp day.

In recent geopolitical scenario, there seems to be a movement by Nepal to move towards China to find an alternative to their dependence over India.
Nepal's new Prime Minister, KP Oli has said he wants to deepen ties with China to explore more options and get more leverage in his dealings with India "in keeping with the times." Nepal apparently has been prompted by China to get close to Pakistan too. The alternative to this was in Myanmar, where China which brought in Pakistan to have military establishment in Myanmar. Nepal and Pakistan were the first countries that wanted China to be a full member of SAARC too. Moreover, prima facie, K P Oli is not very India-friendly. Nepali nationalism has been whipped up as anti-India. Even Indian policies are against Nepalese. There has been polarization by Oli on the basis of regional Nepal is changing and with that, the economic dialogue is changing
Deepening ties with China means Nepal might be considering the China-backed $2.5 billion hydropower project. There is also talk of a transit treaty with Beijing to reduce dependence on India for the landlocked country. They're also looking to revive the Budhi Gandaki project, improving rail and road network between Nepal and China through Tibet. There has been China Study Centers to popularize the Chinese language, disseminate anti-India propaganda and reinforce traditional Chinese diplomacy.
There has been redevelopment of Lumbini, Airport and seminary-cum-monastery, Long-term presences of Chinese military personnel etc. China has emerged as the largest source of foreign direct investment in Nepal. China is the 2nd largest source of foreign tourist to Nepal. Other key Chinese projects include Upper Trishuli Hydropower Project and Transmission Line Projects (concessional loan), Food/Material Assistance (grant) to Nepal, Tatopani Frontier Inspection Station Project, Pokhara International Regional Airport (loan) etc.
Moreover, Pakistan's Prime Minister, Abbasi too visited Nepal recently. Abbasi has been the first leader to visit Nepal after the new government was formed. This might give rise to new access,through a new alliance- China, Pakistan, Nepal. Reviving SAARC process has been welcomed by Oli. Moreover, this was not a proposal that was planned or discussed earlier. What then was the compulsion to meet just within a week Oli took over, especially when his government was not fully formed? This might be in retort to Vietnamese leader's visits to India.
What should then be the strategy adopted by India?
Increasing People-to-People Engagement is of prime importance. Indian government should take into account all the projects that were promised to Nepal and should make sure that these projects are completed on time. There should be better implementation and delivery of projects. People in Nepal should perceive some stake in economic cooperation. Nepal should take the ownership of these projects. We should keep both Pakistan and China away from regional agreements and groupings. India has a veto power and hence should not be coy or shy about it. As SAARC is not going anywhere, focus should be on BIMSTEC. Revival of SAARC can also help because simply shutting down on SAARC doesn't take us any far. Kunwing to Kolkata- trade is a good proposition too. Anyhow, China is still our largest trading partner unlike Pakistan with which we have existential ideological divide and one's DNA cannot change overnight. China has taken aggressive posture militarily, issues relating to Hafiz Saeed, Dalai Lama etc. Trade deficit is huge and this trade is entirely in China's favour.
It should also be noted that Nepal's relation with India is cultural and historic yet Nepal needs a lot of space to engage with others too. Landlocked Nepal is helped with pensions from India. Moreover, as far as Nepal is concerned, China can never be closer to Nepal because when it comes to geography, India has a huge role to play. We have an open border with Nepal and Nepalese people come here for livelihood. Kathmandu elite only favor China , rest all Nepalese, cannot do without India even though Oli wants to change this. It should not be forgotten that Nepalese soldiers have shed blood for India too. SAARC process was stalled due to Pakistan's attitude on terrorism and Nepal currently being the chairman of SAARC, meeting Pakistan PM is in diplomatic parlance. Hence, we should not read anything more to the visit of Pakistan PM to Nepal. Oli also mentioned that Nepal is a sovereign country and will make it own decisions. India supported the rightful rights of Terai people, so it is just emotional upheaval of hills people and nothing more than that. As far as Kathmandu is concerned, India should not overreact. We should just keep a close and alert watch.
