"Two visits to Princess Royal A & E"
About: Princess Royal Hospital (Haywards Heath) Princess Royal Hospital (Haywards Heath) Haywards Heath RH16 4EX
Posted via NHS Choices
Following a cardiac ablation procedure I was taken by ambulance to Princess Royal A & E in extreme pain - entry wound scarring had compromised a major nerve. The A & E team were brilliant and very thorough. Following this, I again visited A & E when my heart went back into AF ; I was very frightened and was admitted for a couple of days. The team calmed my fears, treated my problem and I am now at home,doing well so far. Thank you so much.
Response from Princess Royal Hospital 2 years ago
Dear Mr Grindall
Thank you so much for taking the time to feedback about your experience in A&E. I am sorry it has taken so long for me to acknowledge your post, i have just taken over responsibility for monitoring NHS choices. I am delighted to hear that it was positive and I will pass this onto the team involved in your care and I know that they will really appreciate your kind words.
I am glad that you are recovering well.
Best wishes

Home > Reader > Women: Masters or Mothers? — A book by HH Bhakti Vikasa Swami > Women: Masters or Mothers? Book Reviews
Jahnava Devi Dasi (BVKS), Govindadvipa, Northern Ireland, UK
Posted on June 7, 2016
Women: Masters or Mothers? is a must read for men and women in our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. It discusses the importance of introducing daiva-varṇāśrama within our society, which would provide an equal opportunity for all devotees to advance in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, while acting according to their prescribed duties. Varṇāśrama-dharma is essential for the living entity on their path back to Godhead as stated in the Viṣṇu Purāṇa (3.8.9):
varṇāśramācāravatā puruṣeṇa paraḥ pumān
viṣṇur ārādhyate panthā nānyat tat-toṣa-kāraṇam
The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Viṣṇu, is worshiped by the proper execution of prescribed duties in the system of varṇa and āśrama. There is no other way to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One must be situated in the institution of the four varṇas and āśramas.
His Holiness Bhakti Vikāsa Swami brings to our attention the obstacles on the way to establishing varṇāśrama-dharma which is so crucial for stable marriages, happy and emotionally healthy children, and overall flourishing spiritual communities. I am fully convinced that the words of His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda will come true and that millions of people will join ISKCON if we set a perfect example of a society based on self-sufficient farms according to God's social order and with God in the center. The cover of the previous edition of this book makes me laugh as it reminds me of the transformation in my life from being a girl with feministic ideas planning to be a policewoman, to a housewife who is trying to follow in the footsteps of Śrī Sītā-devī. I wish that the members of ISKCON take the contents of this book into their hearts and that we all try to establish varṇāśrama-dharma in whatever way possible in our present situation.

Where To Buy: Canton Tea Co
Product Description:
This classic Tie Guan Yin produces a delicious, light-coloured, medium-bodied liquor. The first infusion combines toasty, floral notes with a touch of honey and becomes more fruity with successive infusions.
The dark, lightly oxidised green leaves are rolled into small tight fists. The liquor is amber-green with a smooth, heavy texture on the tongue. The flowery and fruity profile of this tea has a touch of honey and at first releases the pleasant orchid notes – after a couple of brews it yields the soft fruitier notes and has a sweet long lasting after taste.
Tasters Review:
There are few teas that have made me say "WOW" and at the same time have FUN with my cup. This is one of those teas. The reason this tea was fun for me was because the tastes seem to change – almost like a twist here and a twirl there – maybe a tea roller-coaster of sorts…with a surprise at each turn and a rush of excitement when you realize you are having more fun that you should!
At first it has a Buttery Vegetable type smell and the taste is buttery THEN fruity and almost nutty. It has a sweet and buttery aftertaste and is VERY smooth.
As it cools a little I can taste the ever so slight bit of natural-salt-likeness…it seems to fit in quite nicely!
This tea is fun because it makes you think – there is so much more than the eye can see BUT more importantly…it's darn-tasty!
Jennifer (TeaEqualsBliss) is in her upper 30s and lives in the eastern snowbelt area of the US with her husband, 3 dogs, and cat (however the number of furkids can change at anytime as she LOVES providing a forever home for many shelter animals. Her several interests include music, movies, veganism, sports, traveling, collecting Baseball Cards and Unicorns, Radio, Computers, Crafting, and of course…TEA.She started drinking tea at the tender age of 3 thanks to her Grandmother and her love for tea has gotten stronger with each year!In addition to being a co-founder/co-creator of Sororitea Sisters - her main site is MyBlissfulJourney.com.Find out more about Jennifer on MyBlissfulJourney.com.

But life can also have a more or less pronounced vertical dimension, and this plane is at least as essential to the meaningfulness of life as the natural, horizontal one. Verticality means detachment and freedom from one's self and situation, release and elevation above earthly concerns. It is transcendence, airiness of spirit. I as it were look at myself and my world from above, and may even address my desiring self in second person. Wittgenstein writes: "My ideal is a certain coolness. A temple that serves as a surrounding for the passions, without meddling with them."
While horizontality is movement motivated by desires, detachment is immobility and non-involvement. Meister Eckhart says: "True detachment is nothing else than for the spirit to stand as immovable against whatever may chance to it of joy and sorrow, honor, shame and disgrace, as a mountain of lead stands before a little breath of wind." Immobility: non-judgement and nonaction.
Horizontality and verticality intersect. Rising above our hopes and fears equals stoic courage, endurance and resilience in dangers, sufferings and adversities. It thereby engenders tranquility and lucidity of mind even in intense efforts and difficult undertakings. Verticality is also flexibility and readiness to let go of all determinate aims when things do not go as planned. It gives relief from stubbornness and impatience.
High, inhuman mountains of rock and ice lift our spirits and reorient us towards verticality, as do harsh, barren, impersonal deserts like Antarctica that offer scant support for horizontal human flourishing. Desolation prevents our spirits from attaching to anything in particular and enables us to loosen our ties to the small things of our lives.

Ghost In The Shell Stand Alone Complex
Respect for Production I.G's Ghost In The Shell Stand Alone Complex creative team; 26?! mind- blowing episodes that left me completely hooked and hungry for more. As far as quality of the production is concerned, if I may be allowed to translate in our local island colloquial; "biangz, dun play play." Hanpa ne-.
Respect also, for Japanese photographer/filmmaker Ninagawa Mika. This lady has a near frightening, unbelievable sense of colour. Bleeding from the eyes may result from prolonged viewing of her imagery. Bleed away right here : http://ninamika.com/

After the PlayStation 4's camera saw heavy usage with networks like Twitch for gaming broadcasts near the end of last year, Sony appears to have seen the light. The next update for Playroom will bring "Playroom Set Maker", an environment in which all manner of do-it-yourself video programs are encouraged. Of course now that Playroom is banned from Twitch, things may get a bit awkward.
Set Maker is a DLC (downloadable content pack) for the PlayStation 4 app Playroom, one made perfect to add loads of value to the PlayStation Camera. At the moment, the PlayStation 4 console is sold separate from the PlayStation Camera, and there are precious few games or apps that work with the camera in the first place. With the functionality added with Set Maker, this all might change in a hurry.
The main function of Set Maker is to add decorations to your camera stream. You're able to import elements using your Android or iOS tablet or phone, or with PS Vita, pushing them into your camera stream like you would with Toy Maker. Have a peek at our demo of Toy Maker below.
In addition to banners, you're able to create interactive elements that work with the app "Live from PlayStation." This is essentially the live gameplay streaming station made by Sony for the PlayStation 4 only to be seen by PlayStation 4 owners. Like a Twitch that exists only within the PlayStation 4 universe.
The one interactive element for watchers thus far is a voting station – users may choose from a list of items you create. Here you'll see a list of games the stream commander has offered up, allowing viewers to vote for their favorite.
Streamers will be able to create smoke, balloons (like in Toy Maker), lasers, and masks as well. Creating a mask means you'll have an element follow your face around as you move.
Playroom Set Maker is being shown off in an early iteration at E3 2014. We'll expect this DLC to be released (for free, as with past DLC for this app) later this year!

We have such a fun style inspiration post today from the lovely Suzannah of Adventures in Dressmaking! What I love about Suzannah's blog is that her projects are always meant for the LONG term. So so so often I sew something and then wear it once because it ended up not be the style I love or because I just have no idea how to actually wear said item well. My favorite repeat posts of AIDM is the "how to wear it posts". Okay, so you made an amazing but very unique outfit, nowwwwwwww how to wear it. Whenever I feel like I am getting into a wardrobe "funk" these posts kick me right back out again! Then add into it her gorgeous food photography (her IG feed makes me drool) and home decor posts and well, I am certainly hooked! Thank you so much Suzannah!
Suzannah from Adventures in Dressmaking here, so happy to get to share some French ideas on Kelly's lovely blog – oh, how I love watching her Instagram adventures with her well-dressed children as they travel beautiful places in Europe! I know Kelly is much more of an expert on quintessential French style than I am, but I do have some images in my head – I wanted to share with you some DIY ideas for recreating classic French summer looks with some fabulous sewing tutorials!
When I think French summer style, I think classic black and white stripes, red accents, and maybe a lightweight trench. Blue and red work, too! And some glam sunglasses, and a simple tote. Something like this…
Maybe you already have the perfect classy bright summer skirt or soft Petit Bateau knit in your closet, but if not… here are some ideas for fun DIY versions you can do of some very French summer-appropriate looks!
Here's what I'd do!
French summer-inspired DIY ideas
I love this polka dot dress. It's a totally basic fitted bodice style, and a simple gathered skirt. You could lengthen the sleeves on this basic dress pattern (adding even extra for the cuffs), and use a less full, gathered skirt! (I've used Simplicity 2444 umpteen times, and Simplicity 1873 is also a good one!)
Circle skirts are the BEST. How about a bright red one, or a check?
You don't need a pattern for a circle skirt, but here's a very thorough circle skirt calculator so you can draft your own!
Make your own comfy tee out of a navy and white stripe knit and a simple knit top pattern like this one by Dixie DIY!
My favorite sewing successes are when I've made myself things that I really love and can wear in my everyday life. I think a chic, Paris summer-inspired DIY may be perfect for the next time people like us want to get creative!
Thanks so much for having me, Kelly!
Readers, join me at Adventures in Dressmaking for more sewing and DIY ideas!
Don't you just want to run out and buy some striped fabric and those fabulous patterns? Yes, yes I do ha!
Thank you again Suzannah!

Cusco During Inti Raymi
Cusco Travel Blog› entry 1 of 1 › view all entries
I arrived in Cusco from Puno around 3:00 am, so had to catch a taxi to a hostal. There was a very nice gentleman who recommended the Hospedaje Inka at a great price. I was so exhausted from the 7 hour bus ride (with NO stops along the way for us to eat or leave the bus) that I was happy to try it out.
When the taxi stopped at the bottom of an endless hill next to a church, the driver just pointed up the hill and signaled me to keep walking. I was so exhausted I could barely walk, muchless up a steep, steep hill with my bag. About mid-way up a young man named Julio stopped me and told me (I at least hoped that was what he was telling me) that he was going to help me to the hostal with my bag.
By the time we got to the hostal I was ready to drop in the courtyard. The young man pointed me up the stairs (seriously? more steps to climb?) to my room. The room was perfect and I was out like a light. When I woke up in a couple of hours the entire hike up the hill was worth every step.
From my window/door I could see most of Cusco and it was staggering! I could also hear the sounds of the city coming through the wind! I could hear the festival beginning to start up for the day and hear the pan flute music in the wind.
There is a community kitchen at the hostal, so after a frigid shower (i'm talking 40 degrees) I went down and was greeted by the proprietor and his older brother and was made to feel like family.
I met some younger travelers, mostly European, and most who had been on the road for months on end. I am so envious of the fact they have that much time to travel. It made my two weeks seem insignificant.
However, onward for me. I packed a day pack and headed down the longest hill toward the city center. I was greeted at the bottom of the hill (where cars cannot go forward up the hill) and was greeted by two young children in full dress. Yes, I know they are just nailing tourists, however, it is their country, their rules and their money.
As I got closer to the Plaza de Armas I could feel the energy picking up bit by bit. I could hear the music and drums and was swarmed by children and adults alike, trying to sell everything from postcards to trinkets to food. It was very overwhelming considering I'm not a city girl and I don't do crowds real well. However, I was able to relax (thank you zoloft) and enjoy the chaos that is Cusco during Inti Raymi. Still early in the day and early in the festival, the streets were still relatively calm, though far from quiet.

you have been of terrific help today. I am on my way to learn PHP with MySQL and unexpectedly got stuck while dropping the database.
Basically, I was taught on how to create a root password using the "mysqladmin -u root -p password" command, this was done all through the windows command editor. Now, the next process was to display the default databases (info. schema, mysql and test) which was achieved by using "SHOW DATABASES;"
But according to the book, we had to delete the redundant test file and the following error pops up:
Error Dropping Database (Can't rmdir '.test\', errno: 17)
DROP DATABASE test;
A database is represented by a directory under the data directory, and the directory is intended for storage of table data.
DROP DATABASE statement will remove all table files and then remove the directory that represented the database. It will not, however, remove non-table files, whereby making it not possible to remove the directory.
MySQL displays an error message when it cannot remove the directory
you can really drop the database manually by removing any remaining files in the database directory and then the directory itself.

PDF Version: The Governor in Council Occasions Change and Delay in the National Energy Board's Review of the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project: The Curious Case of PC 2015-1137
Matter Commented On: Order in Council PC 2015-1137
In plain language, it seems that the Governor in Council shot the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project in the foot just as the Project was about the cross the finish line of a two year environmental assessment and regulatory review process overseen by the quasi-judicial National Energy Board [NEB]. A Governor in Council decision to appoint a Proponent's witness to the NEB, taken while a Panel of the NEB was still considering the Proponent's application, has occasioned the striking of a part of the Proponent's evidence in the ongoing environmental assessment process (described here) and regulatory review process (described here) for the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project (described here). The Governor in Council's action will cause unexpected changes and delays to these processes; and the clouds of future litigation which lay on the horizon for this Project now darken as a further consequence. This comment is structured around four questions: (1) what happened? (2) how could this happen? (3) will this affect Aboriginal consultation? and (4) what happens next?
What Happened?
On July 28, 2015, the Governor in Council filled one of two vacancies in the nine-member NEB by exercising powers conferred upon the Governor in Council by section 3 of the National Energy Board Act, RSC 1985, c N-7 (see PC 2015-1137 and NEB Governance Information). The appointment was amongst the final Orders in Council promulgated prior to the calling of a general election on August 2, 2015.
On August 20, 2015, the Proponent of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project filed its Final Argument with the NEB. A News Release accompanying the filing described the Final Argument as the culmination of more than three years of work, and concluded: "The scrutiny and rigour this Project has undergone, both inside and outside of the formal NEB process, is unprecedented."
On August 21, 2015, one day after the Final Argument was filed, the Panel of the NEB charged with the responsibility for the environmental assessment and regulatory review of the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion project issued a letter [NEB Panel Letter]. The NEB Panel Letter noted that the individual appointed to the NEB by the Governor in Council on July 28 had provided written evidence to the Panel on behalf of the Proponent (see Written Evidence of Appointee), that this evidence addressed issues which included oil market supply and demand, and that the evidence was contested.
The NEB Panel Letter went on to state that the appointment of the Proponent's witness to the NEB could mean that "this Panel of the Board may be in the position of having to assess this evidence after the appointment to the Board became effective." The NEB Panel stated that "[t]here can be no question that public confidence in the impartiality of tribunal decision-makers is integral to the administration of justice" and that the dual role of the appointment "as a person who prepared evidence in this proceeding and as a future Board member, may raise concerns about the integrity of this hearing process." The letter stated that the Panel therefore "has decided on its own volition to strike from the hearing record all evidence prepared by or the under the direction of" the witness who had been appointed to the NEB.
The NEB Panel Letter went on to adjourn final arguments, then scheduled to conclude in September of 2015. Parties were invited to make submissions, and the Panel indicated that it "will issue a procedural update shortly thereafter advising all participants how it intends to conduct the remaining process steps to conclude its review of the Project application."
How Could this Happen?
The Minister of Natural Resources is 'responsible' for the NEB, and the Order in Council identifies the Minister of Natural Resources as the Minister on whose advice the Governor in Council acted. It is certain that tools were available to the Governor in Council, and also the Minister of Natural Resources, to identify the legal risks of PC 2015-1137 in the course of its passage through the Order in Council process (generally described here).
The appointment process leading to PC 2015-1137 must have involved consideration of section 3(4) of the National Energy Board Act. This section provides that a person is not eligible to be appointed as a member of the Board if that person is "as owner, shareholder, director, officer, partner or otherwise, engaged in the business of producing, selling, buying, transmitting, exporting, importing or otherwise dealing in hydrocarbons or electricity or holds any bond, debenture or other security of a corporation engaged in any such business". Beyond an inquiry according to the ambit of this section, however it may be interpreted, one could reasonably anticipate that those involved in PC 2015-1137 should have considered the potential impact of the appointment of a Proponent's witness to the NEB on perceptions of the integrity of the NEB's hearing process for the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project. After all, the importance of maintaining the appearance of integrity in the NEB hearing process is the foundation for textbook jurisprudence on apprehension of bias: Committee for Justice and Liberty et al. v National Energy Board et al., [1978] 1 SCR 369, 1976 CanLII 2.
The Minister of Justice for Canada is responsible for advising the Government on all matters of law by virtue of the Department of Justice Act, RSC 1985, c J-2, and for advising on legal risks in the Order in Council process specifically. The Minister also provides legal advice to Government under the Project Agreement for the Trans Mountain Pipeline Project signed by Deputy Ministers, including the Deputy Minister of Natural Resources, and the CEO of the NEB under the Major Project Management Office initiative (discussed further below). Legal risk management is well documented in Justice Canada (See Legal Risk Management in the Department of Justice). Under the legal risk management regime, the Minister of Justice advises on the nature and extent of legal risk, but the Government ultimately decides whether, or not, to accept the legal risk of its actions.
Critical thought leads to three lines of analysis. First, the tools available were not used (perhaps because of the haste of a Government appointment process undertaken in the summer and within days of the commencement of a general election; or, perhaps, for other unknown reasons). Second, if the tools were used, the legal risks which arose were not foreseen. Third, if foreseen, the legal risks were not afforded sufficient, or any, weight; or, if given appropriate weight, were thought to be acceptable by those who received the advice. Persons may opine which of these is most likely, but a conclusive forensic legal analysis of why the tools were not effective is impossible because of cabinet confidence in the appointment process leading to PC 2015-1137 by virtue of section 39 of the Canada Evidence Act, RSC 1985, c C-5. Why the Governor in Council, acting on the advice of the Minister of Natural Resources, did what was done will remain inexplicable unless cabinet confidence is waived.
PC 2015-1137 was issued under the shadow of imminent economic recession, and after an announcement at the 2015 Energy and Mines Ministers' Conference that "[t]he continued advancement of energy infrastructure projects … is fundamental to … generating economic growth" (See Press Release – Federal, Provincial And Territorial Ministers Responsible For Energy And Mines Highlight Priorities For Upcoming Year). The appointment had been lauded by the Minister responsible for the NEB, who described the appointment as adding " … a valuable asset to the National Energy Board as it continues to fulfil its mandate" … (see here). The NEB Panel was of the view that the appointment created a potential for perception of harm to "the integrity of this hearing process." These are curiously incongruent statements in an economically important context.
The irony of process change and delay occasioned by the Governor in Council is most evident when examined in the context of the legislative reforms of the first omnibus Bill of 'the Harper Government' (the Government of Canada was referred to as the Harper Government as a consequence of an internal directive described here). Process change and delay are not congruent with the legislative reforms introduced in the Jobs, Growth and Long-Term Prosperity Act, SC 2012, c 19 (discussed here). That Act passed through Parliament as Bill C-38. Part 3 of the Bill was titled as 'Responsible Resource Development'. R2D was the acronym used to refer to responsible resource development, and R2D was associated with the Government initiative known as 'Canada's Economic Action Plan'. Division 2 of Part 3 made numerous changes to the National Energy Board Act. Division 2 was said "to establish time limits for regulatory reviews under the Act and to enhance the powers of the National Energy Board Chairperson and the Minister responsible for the Act to ensure that those reviews are conducted in a timely manner" (See Government Summary of R2D in Bill C-38). It also made the Governor in Council responsible for making all final decisions on whether, or not, to issue Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity. The Government Summary in Bill C-38 states: "Division 2 of Part 3 amends the National Energy Board Act to allow the Governor in Council to make the decision about the issuance of certificates for major pipelines."
Will this affect Aboriginal Consultation?
Aboriginal consultation for the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project is fundamentally integrated into the NEB regulatory review process by virtue of the Cabinet Directive on Improving the Performance of the Regulatory System for Major Resource Projects (See here), the Major Project Management Office [MPMO] initiative which followed that Directive, and the Project Agreement concluded under the supervision of MPMO and including the NEB as a signatory. Occasioning change and delay in the NEB process as a consequence of PC 2015-1137 will therefore certainly affect Aboriginal consultation. PC 2015-1137 may also give rise to Aboriginal concerns about the relationship between the Order in Council process, including any future Governor in Council decision about the issuance of certificates of public convenience and necessity, and the duty to consult. Such concerns fall outside of the NEB hearing process administered by the NEB Panel, and it remains uncertain whether or how these may be addressed.
The R2D initiative included the creation of the MPMO. The MPMO mandate is "to provide overarching project coordination, management and accountability for major resource projects within the context of the existing federal regulatory review process." This is done by ensuring that a Project Agreement is created for each Major Project within the MPMO inventory. MPMO then 'tracks' the timely progress of the Project through the milestones in the Preview process (See MPMO Tracker).
A project agreement outlines roles and responsibilities of federal departments and agencies throughout a particular regulatory review process. In this case the Project Agreement was signed by numerous Deputy Ministers, and also the CEO of the NEB; indeed, the Deputy Minister of Natural Resources appears to have been the first to sign it. The Project Agreement is supposed to ensure a coordinated, 'whole of government' approach to Aboriginal consultation.
According to the Project Agreement, "[t]he Government of Canada will to the extent possible rely on the NEB process, including the hearing, to discharge any duty to consult for the Project. Aboriginal groups that have Project related concerns should convey these concerns to the NEB" (underline added). Appendix I to the Project Agreement is entitled Key Milestones and Service Standards for the Environmental Assessment, Regulatory Review and Aboriginal Consultation. It does not expressly anticipate Aboriginal consultation and accommodation after the NEB Report and before the Governor in Council makes a decision in respect of the issuance of a Project Certificate. Appendix III of the Project Agreement is entitled Aboriginal Engagement and Consultation Approach and Roles and Responsibilities. It anticipates that all Aboriginal concerns will be addressed within the NEB process, and states that "[s]upplementary Crown consultation activities will occur, should there be outstanding issues or concerns raised by Aboriginal groups that fall outside of the NEB process."
Early in the NEB regulatory process, the NEB wrote to Aboriginal entities describing how the NEB's hearing process would work:
After receipt of an application and ensuring it is complete, the Board will schedule a public hearing on this Project. One purpose of the hearing process will be to test the Project information (referred to as evidence in the hearing), which will have been filed with the Board. … This information will include details of Trans Mountain's Aboriginal consultation program and the outcomes of that program. It will also include information from Trans Mountain regarding the impacts the Project may have on Aboriginal interests and any proposed mitigation measures.
Another purpose of the hearing process will be to allow persons who are directly affected by the Project, or have relevant information or expertise relating to the Project, to express their views. These could include views in favour or against the Project or views on how the Project may impact Aboriginal communities, the use of traditional territory and any potential or established Treaty or Aboriginal rights.
If, in practice, there were a 'Whole of Government' approach to Aboriginal consultation and accommodation for the Trans Mountain Pipeline Project as described in the Project Agreement, then the Minister of Natural Resources and also the Governor in Council must have been aware that PC 2015-1137 involved the appointment to the NEB of a Proponent's witness in a context where the Crown, itself, was relying on the NEB process to discharge the constitutional obligations of aboriginal consultation in a manner consistent with the Honour of the Crown.
Critical thought suggests three possible scenarios for Aboriginal concerns about the consultation process.
First, if the Governor in Council and Minister of Natural Resources were aware that PC 2015-1137 involved the appointment of a Proponent's witness, then Aboriginal groups may have a concern about how the Crown acted. This is because the NEB Panel states that PC 2015-1137 created a situation which might affect the integrity of the process which discharges constitutional obligations of consultation and accommodation; and, in any case, PC 2015-1137 occasioned unexpected change in and delay to the process.
Second, if the Governor in Council and Minister were not aware that PC 2015-1137 involved the appointment of a Proponent's witness, then Aboriginal groups may have a different concern. This is because lack of awareness implies that PC 2015-1137 actually reveals a systemic dysfunction in the MPMO Project Agreement system, by virtue of which the 'whole of government approach' is merely convenient phrase for public relations rather than a coherent practice.
Third, whether or not anyone knew, Government does not consider the Governor in Council's issuance of PC 2015-1137, acting on advice of the Minister of Natural Resources, to be within the operational ambit of the phrase "whole of government approach." In this type of scenario, Aboriginal groups may have a concern because it necessarily follows that the Crown is of the view that the constitutional duty to consult does not attach to Governor in Council decision making; and, yet, it is the Governor in Council which must ultimately determine whether to direct the issuance of a Project Certificate for the Project. In this scenario, the Project Agreement phrase "to the extent possible" (underlined above) is practically applied by Government as 'absolutely'; and Aboriginal consultation and accommodation is something done by the NEB and the Departments, within their respective regulatory mandates, but is not something that troubles the Minister or the Governor in Council. A very recent example of such absolute reliance on NEB process by Government is seen in Hamlet of Clyde River v. TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Company ASA (TGS), 2015 FCA 179 (See also Professor Nigel Bankes' ABlawg here), where the Court found that the Crown engaged in "no additional or independent consultation" outside of absolute reliance on the NEB process. The Federal Court of Appeal warned the Crown that although the duty to consult may be integrated into "robust" environmental assessment and regulatory review processes, "when the Crown relies on the Board's process, in every case it will be necessary for the Crown to assess if additional consultation activities or accommodation is required in order to satisfy the honour of the Crown."
What Happens Next?
PC 2015-1137 is going to occasion additional costs for all involved in the NEB process for the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion. Overlaying the date of PC 2015-1137 onto the Project Tracker maintained by MPMO reveals that PC 2015-1137 was issued when the Project was at the point bureaucratically described as milestone 19 of 23. The Proponent had made an application to the NEB for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity on December 16, 2013(see here, the narrow Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012, SC 2012, c 19, s 52 had been found to apply, the NEB had issued its Hearing Order OH-001-2014, participant funding was made available and distributed, multiple rounds of information requests had been completed, many motions had been dealt with, the NEB had received many Aboriginal concerns and evidence, and the NEB had released draft conditions. According to the MPMO tracker, all that remained were final submissions, the close of the hearing record, and the submission of the final NEB recommendations to the Governor in Council.
The Proponent must now replace the evidence which was struck, and address procedural changes which are as yet unknown as of the date of publication of this commentary. The Proponent's first response was on August 28. In this letter the Proponent identified the evidence prepared by the witness who had been appointed to the NEB, advised the Panel that it intends to replace the evidence which was struck by September 21, 2015, (described as "narrow") and requested "that the Panel expedite the remaining procedural steps required to conclude its review of the Project Application."
Responses from other participants have also been filed with the NEB. The City of Burnaby calls for a restart of the NEB process before a new Panel. There are many other positions by many other participants in the NEB hearing process, including calls for additional participant funding in order to address an unexpectedly prolonged hearing process.
As of the date of publication of this commentary, the NEB Panel has not yet revealed how it will respond to the numerous submissions it has received. Readers can follow what happens next in that process by reviewing the documents filed in the NEB's online document repository at the link given at the outset of this commentary. It contains all documents filed with the NEB, including the Panel's Procedural Directions and Rulings.
The Governor in Council which appointed the Proponent's witness to the NEB will also ultimately decide whether to direct the NEB to issue a certificate of public convenience and necessity for the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project. PC 2015-1137 can therefore reasonably be expected to be the subject of judicial consideration far beyond the conclusion of the current NEB process. The next textbook Supreme Court of Canada decision may well deal with whether it is consistent with the Honour of the Crown for the Governor in Council (acting for reasons which are inexplicable because of cabinet confidence) to appoint a Proponent's witness to the NEB while a Panel of the NEB is still considering the Proponent's application (and thereby unilaterally occasion changes to a regulatory review process relied upon by the Crown to discharge constitutional obligations of aboriginal consultation and accommodation in a manner consistent with the Honour of the Crown).
Finally, the Proponent must not be forgotten. In addition to being delayed and obliged to incur unexpected hearing expenses, the Proponent may suffer financial loss if the Crown's consultation process is ultimately found to be inconsistent with the Honour of the Crown by reason of the Governor in Council action. Whether the Proponent may seek, or successfully obtain, financial compensation from the public purse in such a case remains uncertain (see here).

I would not have taken her, but it's nice to know my Leopard sense was on straight.
She also took the bait we tossed from a previous day and carted it right up to the top of the tree.
Manuel noticed it first and chuckled. I took a picture with the phone and had my own laugh.
This tree has been like a grocery store for my entire duration here and this one thinks she has to store old bones at greater heights, just to be sure.
Waste not, want not, I guess.
More Genets in the trees, more bloody Mongoose.
So tempting to find a .223 and start a market hunting operation.
We go to Gemsbok blind to see that bait has been hit too. Really?
I load the pictures onto the computer and notice several of the pictures have nothing in them. No discernible animals in the photos.
Why did the camera go off? What is going on?
Finally, I zoom in and I look very closely at those five images on the computer.
There is a muzzle and the top of a head in two of the pictures.
The Leopard fed from the ground. Holy crap!
Incredulous, I have A take a picture of me standing by the bait. Amazing reach.
He showed up after four days of nothing.
Leopard hunting is an incredible pursuit.
It is time to see if I can find the large male Oryx.
We ran into a large herd of Eland cows and calves on our way out from the dam.
I try another aborted stalk on Ostrich. They are all just as spooky as yesterday. It is not even the same birds.
It is official; the species are spooky.
No Impala.
I cannot find my broken horned guy. He must have known I was after him still.
We ran into another fresh Leopard track as we are walking to the blind.
Damn, they are everywhere.
I will likely have nightmares of Leopard creeping in the grass.
We go and sit in a blind for Oryx that is close in to the lodges.
Everything was scared off when a vehicle drove by. Not sure what that was about.
Finally after everything had calmed down an Oryx comes in. ONE! Not a herd, ONE!
From the property that has thousands, One comes in and its Male. Bizarre.
Lucky me, it is also a trophy.
I decide that is it.
One from the .270 straight into chest .
It was down in 8 feet. Shot placement is king.
Take the Oryx to the skinners to set them on the way to find the bullet.
The R100 copper mine is still in operation.
I regret to tell you we forgot to check the shed before I departed.
So, I am likely in debt to the holder of some Barnes Copper shares. Next time.
It is time to review the collection of trophies.
A has to measure all the trophies for the PH's register at the salt cage. He is earnest in his efforts but he is not the most overly accurate measurer in the world.
It is great to watch all the guys take this so seriously. It's official paperwork and they are treating it as such.
If I really want an official score I will do it myself when I get them home. As it is, I know my register will be completed correctly.
The young workers are all borrowing some reading material to study for their Hunting guide/ PH courses. It is exciting to watch these young guys looking forward to improving their lot by being able to guide hunters.
As they flip through a manual they are shocked by the amount of material and the detail they are required to know.
Slightly daunted but still excited about the possibilities. I wish them all well.
Obviously A has been a great role model for them.
We head back for an early lunch.
Since I am leaving shortly I do not refuse my host his generous offerings of Amarula/Cognac and Red wine. This is accompanied by Beef in Sauce with macaroni and a Tomato Egg Tuna salad that I have come to love.
Oryx, Fresh fish, Beef, Chicken, Eland, etc. were all on the menu.
The only repeats were those items that were specifically requested.
I quit attempting to follow the menu, I just knew it would be good.
I do not tend to blather on about food, but the food has been great. Every last meal I have had.
Formal three course meals for lunch and dinner, with everyone seated in places. You are served attentively and constantly.
Breakfast to dinner you merely have to ask. More often than not, I am having to say No to further offerings.
Nothing like being served.
There were two professionals directing my hunting experience here; PH's as Ozondjahe. Francois Robberts the head PH and Hunting Guide Agustinus was with me most days.
Both these men knew his stuff backward and I would not hesitate to hunt with either one again.
Under Namibian law there is a differentiation between PH's and guides. Hunting Guides are restricted to a particular farm or property, whereas PH's can hunt anywhere. There are some other distinctions regarding species but that is not relevant to my hunt.
I got another compliment today about "having good eyes" from A.
I did not even note the details anymore. It is just a positive thing to hear the appreciation of your hunting skills.
J's niece took her first game animal today.
She went out with her grand-pere Jean and made a perfect shot with the 223 and took a trophy Warthog.
I congratulated her and she was very humble in her acceptance of the congratulations.
It is awesome to see her success and welcome another huntress into the sorority.
All in all, it was an exhausting, sometimes adrenalin pumping, exhilarating, frustrating and always enjoyable time to hunt at Ozondjahe.
Chasing Leopard is work. Even with all the set up before I ever showed up, it is work.
The cats, the wind is always changing.
I was driving the bus on this hunt. I was not just a client sitting and being the "trigger man".
I am sure my inexperience played a huge role in my success.
Next time I will just go sit if I get that feeling, no matter what. Even at a bait that has not been hit.
Francois Robberts knows his cats and works hard for you and A was always there waiting with me all the way and we shared the entire hunt.
After lunch Wilfred takes me on a drive to Windhoek to stay at the Roof of Afrika hotel.
I fell asleep in the car three times on the way to Windhoek.
Thanks for the professional driving. I arrived safe and sound.
It's off to the bar and on to the next adventure.
A very smart cat and you can't begrudge that kind of smarts. Amazing stuff.
This is also the same cat that was tending a female immediately beside this exact bait tree three days before I arrived.
Both were laying out lounging in the middle of the day.
He's lucky he did not do that while I was there.
He never went into the tree and exposed himself. He approached and stayed in the hollow underneath cover and below the horizon.
I console myself (delude myself) that we could never have seen him from the blind if he showed up earlier.
(Recall those muzzle and head shots)
If I could have been here another week, as most hunts for Leopard are that long, we might just have created another result.
I provided the Proof in the pudding at the start of this segment to show you it can be done.
The next hunter in got the Leopard after TWO days.
Told ya!
Thanks for taking the time to read the report.
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed reliving it during the writing.
most excellent write up bricko
shit hot pictures mate( next photo comp will see you right )
congratulations on a hooogely succsess full hunt and also to the lucky leopard hunter after your good self
thanks for letting us share your memories
yup great story telling, and you had me there with the starting photos, kept waiting to get to the part with you shooting the cat......shame it didnt happen for you, but i can tell you had a real great time trying to get one, but thats leopard hunting , and there is always next time :beer:
Thanks for the great report and congratulations on the Eland. Tough luck on old spots, I'm sure you'll get him next time. Looks like a great place to harvest a genet as well.
I think we have al enjoyed your hunting story. Sorry you didn't get the cat. Make it that much sweeter when you do get one. The more you work for an animal the more you appreciate them. Looks like you'd got some good trophies. We can tell that you had a good time. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Bruce
Wayne Thanks for the awesome report, Sorry you didn't get your cat but all the other animals even the culls were fantastic. Looking forward to your next hunt report. Bob
Thanks for the fantastic hunting report, I really enjoyed it. I felt I was there with you on your journey.
Thanks for a great story Wayne, sorry you didn t get Mr Spots, but, that s hunting, nothing is guaranteed.
Anyway you did have a great time, and some very good trophies, congratulations !
Loved the story. Sorry about the leopard....but.....that's something to look forward to on the next hunt.
Thanks for putting together a first class report with great pictures.
Now, when does your next hunting report start?
Good stuff Wayne.Gives you an excuse (like you need one) to go back and try for a leopard again.
You had an incredible adventure that I bet you would trade in a minute.
Your story was absorbing, your picture were spectacular.
Thanks for the compliments guys.
It was an incredible adventure and I would not trade it...., for certain.
That is pretty funny, Excuses to return! Like anybody who has had a great hunt needs to create one.
They are actually integral to the hunt itself, I've found.
Those nice warm fires on the cool nights:
How do you beat watching game come to water at a well lit waterhole while you have dinner:
Pangolin up close and personal was like winning the lottery.
To have been that close to Leopards was quite astonishing really. I never expected it.
I did not think about it really until it happened. I was really lucky.
I learned a ton and do actually hope to use it one day.
I do know that you do need to make sure you have enough time booked for a Leopard hunt, just in case.
I missed seeing a wild Cheetah.
I guess that is a really good excuse...
Thanks for the great report and sharing your adventure.
You're Welcome.
Wayne, Thank you for the amazing hunting report, I wish I could write like that! It was a great read. I'm glad that you had such a great time I only wish that I could have been there with you. Until next time...
Outstanding report. Riveting at times. I admire your writing as well as your photos. Congratulations on all your success!
The risk of failure is what makes the truly great hunts great, it is a big part of what drives that emotional rollercoaster that we all love so much. Im glad you had a great time and had so much success on the plains game side of things and congrats on the opportunity to once again hunt for your FIRST Leopard, I am sure your success will be doubly sweet.
Just awesome...
I would have to whole heartedly agree with you. My stay at Ozondjahe was just awesome.
Thanks for the congrats.
Thank you for the report and great pictures.
Leopards were in your area, just not what you were looking for.
It appears that you had a great time.
SO when do you go back?

July Favourites
I've got lots of various favourites from July to share with you, so lets start with beauty products!
First beauty favourite that I've been absolutely loving is OH K! Lip Balms, aren't these the cutest things you have ever seen?! I love them, they're so adorable, they smell amazing and keep my lips nice and moisturised.
Mad Beautys clip on hand sanitizers* are my second beauty favourite. I mentioned these in my What's In My Festival Backpack post (because it's the perfect festival item) I've become a total hand sanitizer person and love how handy these little ones actually are, you can just clip them onto anything and use them whenever you need too.
I've been really trying to switch off more recently and not spend so much time on Social Media - saying that I still find myself scrolling through Instagram at all hours, practice makes perfect though right? So I've turned my attention to reading, in particular the book I've been Reading is, Geek Girl. I'm probably not classed as the typical audience for this book but I've been loving it, I've almost finished it now!
Switched at Birth is my TV favourite from July, I binge watched this with my sister, Be My Anchor - her blogs really good by the way, yes I am biased. Anyway we watched this show from start to finish oops. To tell you a little bit about the show, it focuses around two teenage girls who find out in fact they were Switched At Birth, sounds good right? I'd honestly watch it all over again, definitely worth a watch.
Now an app favourite, told you these favourites are all over the place haha! So Pinterest, great for outfit inspo and just all of the pretty pictures. I've spent hours pinning away - you can follow me here if you like - it's totally easy to become obsessed with this and you'll find yourself scrolling through all of the pretty pictures hours later..is that bad?
To finish my July Favourites I have a youtuber favourite, which is Fabulous Hannah (if you have any favourite youtubers, do let me know in the comments!) she is so down to earth and I love her honesty in her videos, you'll definitely find yourself chuckling along to her review videos where she tries out different beauty products, so definitely be sure to give her videos a watch.
What have been your favourite things from July?

Dear Members and Friends
Below is a copy of the LIM letter send to the members of the Public Works Sub-commitee.
Please write to the Legislators who sit on the Public Works Sub-Committee before Wed 16th April. Just click on this link to start your email to them
Feel free to copy and use our letter if you find it easier.
LIM Committee Members
14 April 2014
Letter of representation to Public Works Subcommittee Members
Dear Honourable Members of the Public Works Subcommittee,
Our organisation urges you to reject the current proposal by the Director of Environmental Protection (DEP), which is supported by the Secretary for the Environment, to upgrade 177DR to Category A at an estimated cost of $18,245.7 million in money-of-the-day (MOD) prices for the design and construction of the integrated waste management facilities (IWMF) phase 1. [PWSC(2014-15)7]
While the Panel on Environmental Affairs has now approved (by 9 votes to 6) the same basic ENB proposal to "burn and bury" our waste that they rejected approximately 2 years ago, we urge you not to blindly follow their approval which is meant to have been based on environmental concerns. We believe that the 9 members of the EA Panel who voted in favour have clearly shown their lack of concern for the natural environment of Hong Kong.
As members of the Public Works committee, where your expertise is more on project management and engineering solutions, you should see that the current proposal to extend 3 landfills and build a mega incinerator does not solve the problem we are facing with Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in the most timely or financially responsible way. We urge you to reject the current proposal based on the clear project management perspectives of:
– Timing: building the incinerator next to Shek Kwu Chau (SKC) will take many more years than the alternative site of the Tsang Tsui Ash Lagoons.
– Cost: selecting a site that does not require reclamation would significantly reduce the cost of the project. The difference in costs has been estimated to be the equivalent of building a new hospital ($2.5 Billion for the recently opened Tung Chung Hospital)
– Technology: the current proposal contains no practical proposal for mechanically sorting the majority of our waste before it is either sent to a landfill or incinerator. The proposed SKC pilot sorting plant will only be able to handle about 2% of the total MSW
– Performance Measure: There are no performance incentives within the proposal for the government to implement meaningful recycling services. How can you trust the government to implement the recycling services once you have approved the "bury and burn" based proposal?
– Inefficient Land Use: The land area of the existing landfills sites should be used as Integrated Waste Management Facilities (IWMF) rather than being only used for landfill. An IWMF should include building multi-storey waste sorting facilities to separately identify recyclables, organics and hazardous materials.
– Private Sector Competition: There have been numerous offers from the business sector over the years to help solve the waste issue from a commercial perspective. These have included offers to take 1/3 of the current MSW to piloting of the very latest thermal treatment technology.
– Risk Management: How can building one mega incinerator operated by one company out in the ocean provide contingency measures if this single plant has operational issues. Surely multiple smaller IWMF's located around HK can truly represent a balanced spatial distribution of Waste Management Facilities and provide superior operational risk management.

Upgrading From Inspire
- Dunno if this belongs in this forum or the Inspire's, but I'm curious as to who's thinking about upgrading from the Inspire 4G to the Vivid.
What are your thoughts?11-06-2011 10:37 PM
- I'm torn between being impetuous and buying either the Vivid or Skyrocket, or waiting for the Nexus.11-06-2011 10:49 PM
- those who upgraded from an Inspire, is the Vivid a noticable improvement? as in camera, lag, battery life, etc.11-06-2011 11:06 PM
- kind of soon to tell about the battery life but form a technical standpoint its much better then the inspire and so far i feel like its lasted longer then my inspire. The lag from what Ive noticed is much better, the dual processor seems to be doing its job. The camera is definitely an improvement, very nice quality and takes the photos very quickly, also having the 1.3 front facing camera is pretty nice. Overall i feel like this was a pretty good purchase, especially since i love HTC products.11-06-2011 11:29 PM
- I upgraded from Inspire 4G to Vivid today and after using it off and on today I would say it was a good upgrade. I am in the Chicago area, so the 4G LTE was a compelling reason, especially being on a grandfathered unlimited data plan with AT&T.
vs. Inspire so far
- overall phone seems faster, programs open faster, slightly less lag.
- screen is brighter, crisper and well, more vivid.
- like the improvements of HTC Sense 3 vs 2.1 on Inspire.
- visual voicemail is nice, something I have on iPhone and had on BB.
- data speeds are MUCH better (4G LTE), speedtests:
......best on Inspire: 2.97Mbps Down, 1.06Mbps Up
......worst on Vivid (in house, 1 bar): 8.73Mbps Down, 2.86Mbps Up
......best on Vivid so far (outside, 3/4 bars): 14.85Mbps Down, 7.33Mbps Up
...For reference, been getting 9-17.4Mbps Down, 7.2-10.9Mbps Up on Jetstream with 4G LTE in area, so I expect with more tests Vivid will get better.
- bigger screen on Vivid, not by much and in cases I have on them, Vivid maybe 1/4 inch taller than Inspire
- not sure about battery yet, after 10 hours battery at 24%, but never fully charged from store and lots of transferring and installation of files, with Inspire usually charged daily, maybe could get 1 1/2 days, but would expect to charge Vivid every night just like Inspire.
- have only taken 1 photo so far, but camera seems more responsive and I know other reviewers said camera was superior on Vivid.
- Inspire has more of a metal build, but even with plastic Vivid feels sturdy and well built with aluminum back plate and in cases both feel solid and durable.
Definitely liked the operation and feel of the HTC Vivid over the Samsung Skyrocket, but I prefer HTC Sense over Touchwiz and I though screen was nicer on Vivid than Skyrocket.
Lack of a variety of cases early on is a problem, Otterbox one available is nice and will do for now, but prefer one with belt clip and really liked the Seidio case for the Inspire.
If you are in a current 4G LTE market now, this is a no question upgrade, for the data speed increase alone, plus it has all that the Inspire had plus its faster, has a better screen and a nicer interface.11-07-2011 12:04 AM
- Nice lil mini review.11-07-2011 12:18 AM
- My wife and son both have Inspires and are satisfied with them. I've worked with both their phones, and, while they're good enough for non techies, the Inspire is not enough phone for me. I'll be getting the Vivid as soon as the family approves the budget item. We all know by now that the phone is killer, especially for the price (even at full $199 on contract, which is what I see in CT). I appreciate Mrnsrv's mini-review, as well. Thanks for your observations on the phone, itself, and your thoughts on peripherals and accessories. I'm interested in expanding on that discussion and have opened a thread for the purpose. We don't just use the phone alone anymore, and protecting our investment is a good idea.11-07-2011 12:56 AM
- Where in CT are you?11-07-2011 01:05 AM
- New Haven area.11-07-2011 11:19 AM
Definitely feels a bit snappier and screen looks crispier, I like it so far compared to my htc inspire.11-07-2011 01:09 PM
- The batter cover beats the Inspire hands down! I hated the battery cover on the Inspire. Only good thing about that was that you could remove the battery and SD card without removing battery.
Also the on board memory is substantial. I believe they used this as justification to not include a SD card. And I have no reason not to include ear buds.01-27-2012 11:09 PM
