Topic No.11. (Politics) Corruption is
rampant in every level of Vietnam's political, economic and social hierarchy.
It takes on many forms, de-functionalizes the system the and heavily cripples
the life of its citizens. Give a detailed report of the extent of the problem,
at every level and aspect.
in Vietnam is serious, blatant and rampant" – said Le Van Lan, the deputy
office chief of the Central Steering Committee for Anti-Corruption in a conference
in July, 2012 held by the National Assembly's Standing Committee. Corruption,
as it was defined in the Anti-corruption Law of Vietnam (Clause 2, Article 1,
No, 55/2005/QH11), is the behavior of individuals with status and power who
take advantage of their position to commit actions against the law in their own
interests. It is indeed one of major challenges in the era of integration and
sustainable development as it threats public expectation in the government and
affects the pace of social-economic progress. The problem can be encountered in
many sectors and at many levels. In the long term, unless corruption was
sufficiently addressed, a number of potential consequences brought to society
would be disastrous.
To commence with, corruption from the
perspectives of citizens is a serious threat. According to the 2006 Global
Integrity Report retrieved in 2010, corruption accounted for 3-4% of lost GDP
for Vietnam each year. Moreover, in 2009, public procurement, considered the
most susceptible sector to corruption, had its total annual cost of around
388,958 trillion, accounting for more than 22% of the Vietnam GDP that year. A
report from VCCI in 2014 established a connection between corruption and
economic growth. In particular, the study said that
without any transmission channel, a one unit increase in Vietnam's corruption
perceptions index (CPI) leads to an increase in annual growth rate by 0.23%
(from 2000 to 2012). For example, if Vietnam's CPI in 2012 had increased by one
unit, its 2012-2013 growth rate would have ramped up to 5.65% and its GDP in
2013 would account for $164,624 million at 2012 price level. When investment is
included as a transmission channel, the analysis shows that a 1% increase in
the share of domestic investment in GDO will lead to an approximate 0.2%
increase in GDP growth rate. Statistics lend support to the view that
the situation is becoming widespread and devastating, and its financial and
social costs are astounding. Estimates
show that corruption can add 10-25% to the costs of public procurement every
year, and in some case even 40-45%; government procurement is generally between
14 to 20% of Vietnam's GDP, while on a global scale, it accounts more than 5%,
from $8.16 trillion to $11.65 trillion annually.
Since Doi Moi, Vietnam has taken serious
steps toward analyzing and controlling corruption with varieties of
authorities' perspectives covering in many aspects, one of which is the three
main levels of the situation. According to Business Anti-corruption website, Individual
Corruption exists primarily in relations between individual residents and
public official and authorities. One common example is when public authorities
sometimes postpone residents' access to passport or documents processing in
order to extort bribes, according to the Human Rights Report 2013. Another case
can be observed in health sector, reported from Transparency International
Vietnam 2011, when patients have to give doctors or nurses some informal
payments to ensure that they receive better health care. The second group in the list is business
corruption which occurs in relations between enterprises and public officials. A
good case in point would be kickback on procurement contracts, which is a sort
of bribe to obtain an undue advantage, that is, illicitly award the contract to
the firm in return. According to the Investment Climate State 2013, more than
50% of foreign investors surveyed in Vietnam responded that they paid a
commission when involving in public bids. Besides, about 26% domestic business
executives regard the use of bribery as an essential step to award contracts.
The third position belonged to political corruption, taking place in the higher
positions of public administration and on a political level. Probably this is
the most complex level since authorities and top officials often deploy their
powers and influences to hinder law enforcement forces and control mass media
over investigating the crimes. Yet there are several clues may lend support to
this secretive circumstance, for example a luxurious life-style or significant
increase in assets of some public officials that is inappropriate to their
legal income.
Corruption presents in many forms, commonly
consist of gifts and facilitation payments. Vietnamese culture perceives gift
giving on certain occasions as a traditional practice to express respect and
gratitude. However, a certain sector in Vietnamese society recognize gift as a
form of bribery. To be specific, according to data reported from corruption
done by World Bank Group, in 2009, 15.2% of Vietnamese firms expected to give
gifts to get an operating license, whereas 53.7% of firms responded expected to
give gifts to secure government contract. "Showing gratitude
used to have more spiritual value than material value. But over the years, it
has become more material and less spiritual, and now in the market economy it
is like a transaction", said Nguyen Huu Ngoc, a well-known scholar in Hanoi in
an interview with the BBC Vietnamese journal. And while the line between a gift
and a bribe has becoming blurred, there are yet a number of differences between
them that need to be identified. Tran Thu Ha, vice-director of Research and
Training center for Community development stated on BBC Vietnamese: "A gift can
be given in public or anywhere, it needs time to talk and to say thank you,
whereas a bribe is often given very quickly and both the giver and the receiver
are afraid of being seen by other people". Facilitation payments, on the other hand, made
with the purpose of expediting or facilitating the performance by an official
of a regular governmental activity. In other word, such payments seem to be a
norm, as they induce public authorities to perform their works. Nonetheless,
those unofficial payments, to some extent, change their purpose to the negative
side. Some factual information can be found to prove the point, especially in
health and education sector. Vietnamese citizens perceive that giving envelopes
as a cultural practices when they require medical treatment. The situation has become widespread, according
to a survey in 2012 done by the World Bank and Vietnam's Government
Inspectorate, as the number of patients giving envelopes to their doctors
increased two times over three-year period.
In education sector, facilitation payments may perform in terms of
admittance to favorable schools, awarding academic grades or secure better
As regards the frequency of corruption,
the issue exists early in 8 sectors related primarily to business operation, including
judicial system; police; licenses, infrastructure and public utilities; land
administration; customs administration; public procurement and contracting;
environment, natural resources and extractive industry. Several high-profile
corruption cases went to trial in Vietnam in 2012-2013. In Hanoi, former
chairman of the Vietnam National Shipping Lines were found guilty of
embezzlement when he paid $9 million dollar for a floating dock in poor quality
and alleged pocketing over $80 million dollar. Another case was the work
between the Ministry of Public Security and Interpol to apprehend fugitive Pham
Thanh Hai, an accountant in the government's department of cinematography, with
stealing 42 billion VND from the department's annual budget beginning in 2009. However,
the most dominantly debatable case related to ODA project working in
collaboration with Japanese partners. Japanese media reported that Japan
Transportation Consultants Inc. told police they had bribe Vietnam Railway
authorities to secure a contract for Hanoi's urban railway plan. In recent time,
corruption appears prevalently in the management of land and natural resources,
where authorities take bribes to grant title deeds; in the financial banking
sector; in construction which inflate building costs; in management of state
assets where embezzlement, faking invoices occur; in human resource management
where bribers gives presents or an amount of money for jobs, promotion; and in
judicial sector where judges receive bribes to alter verdicts. In terms of banking
sector, for instant, one of serious corruption case was the loss of over 1.4
billion VND for the Asia Commercial Bank (ACB) allegedly caused by illegal
securities purchases and deposits by 6 former executives in 2009 and 2011. Another
proof was the alleged bribe-taking case of the former governor of the State
Bank of Vietnam, Le Duc Thuy, who received an undisclosed amount of money from
the Reserve Bank of Australia and helped this partner to win the banknote
supply contract from 2002 to 2009 in return.
Corruption in Vietnam, as elsewhere around
the world, is a vast challenge and poses many obstacles for future development.
Its negative consequences result in various aspects, including investment,
business operation and public trust. From a macro perspective, a research done
by VCCI in 2014 reported that corruption affects the national economy mainly in
investment. Enterprises in Vietnam from 2005 to 2011 conducted by the research
showed that if a firm bribes, the probability of improving a product decrease
by 6.2%. The data might be inappropriate, however, since the time under survey
is probably long enough to identify and change the trends of the market and
firm' direction. Nevertheless, the cumulative negative impact of corruption on
macroeconomic performance should not be denied, since another study of CIEM
(2012) concluded similar results, that bribe-paying SMEs are less able to
develop and expand their business, and more likely to leave the market. From
resident viewpoints, the PAPI (Public Administration Performance Index)
findings revealed that in 2012, 42% of citizens agreed that bribes are required
to receive medical care; 44% of them bribe to get a job in the civil service;
25% for their children to receive better treatment at schools. More
importantly, those who refuse to give bribes are less likely to have adequate
titles to their property which affects their ability to start and grow
business; receive inadequate health care, influence their lives and the health
status of their children; lose opportunities to obtain education leading to
further career advancement and wealth. Particularly in education, corruption in
education threatens to increase educational costs for families and worsen the
equality of accessing educational services. The total costs was more severe to
poor families compared to those middle-class as the former pay more for corrupt
practices to ensure their children enrolling in the same schools, especially
the gorgeous ones. Hence, corruption directly increases the inequality in
access to education. Considering the effects towards public administration,
corruption is recognized in AC Strategy of Government of Vietnam, 2009:
"Corruption is leading to adverse effects in many ways, eroding the confidence
of the people in the leadership by the Party and the management of the State,
giving rise to potential conflicts interest, social resistance, and protest,
and widening the gap between the rich and the poor. Corruption has become a
major obstacle for the success of Doi Moi and the fighting force of the Party,
threatening the survival of the regime".
Corruption is typically a national illness
which results in serious consequences in the future. Corruption adversely
affects long-term economic growth through its impact on investment, taxation,
public costs and human development. To be specific, the VCCI's report published
on August, 2014 said that corruption is negatively correlated with Vietnam
economic growth through slow down the rise of GDP per capita over years, lower
growth rates, per capita income as well as human development. A study from Rotterdam University about
Corruption and Growth found that corruption affect the quantity, quality, cost
and profitability of investment for companies. Private sector, although accounts
for nearly 90% of total number of enterprises, are mainly small and medium
scale. They have difficulties in getting access to resources such as land and
financing for development. In order to get things done more quickly
appropriately, they used petty bribery, by money, presents or compensation from
the revenue, to officials and authorities. Some reported that the expenditures
for corruption even cost 20-30% of an investment contract. What's more, since
Sate-owned companies, based on their relationship with the government, take
advantage on regulatory privileges in allocating and using resources, they are
treated in a more favorable way, leading to economically inefficient growth for
companies in both sector and ultimately affect the government's direction
towards a socialist-oriented market economy. In term of social growth,
corruption would raise the cost to obtain health services among resident, thus lower
people's health and reduce longevity. Besides, the costs to acquire educational
services would rise as well, therefore reducing children going to school,
lowering education outcomes (scores, school rankings). Its impact on the human
development would finally undermine long-term sustainable development social
General speaking, corruption, in the
modern world, is one of pressing issues that is identified in many sectors,
ranging from business operation, public administration to health, education and
other services. It can be encountered in many levels, from private to top
position of public authorities with increasingly complexity. Vital consequences
brought to society can be anticipated and, become more destructive once the
issue remains unsolved.

This is a discussion of The Eastern Invasion, the campaign featuring Gweddry General of Wesnoth.
NOTE: Eastern Invasion is still undergoing both balancing and plot changes, so these descriptions might not be applicable to later versions of the campaign
Perhaps this will provide grounds for trenchant criticism from more experienced and abler players. These descriptions are aimed at the "medium" difficulty level (as "easy" lets you get away with sloppiness and "hard" is for people who are comfortable with Advanced Tactics). Please improve these and add your own for later levels.

The Outpost
It is probably best to recruit 5 heavy infantry and 1 mage on this scenario. The heavy infantry can flag the villages surrounding you by turn 3, turn 2 if they're quick, and the mage can flag the northern forest village on turn 2 if quick.
Sending 2 HI(heavy infantry) south, to the revenants, is a good idea because you can usually get both of them a 2nd level kill without having either die. The other ones should stand and fight against the enemies coming at you from the north and east. Use the HI most of time, and use the mage when they are in forest and it can get a killing blow. By the end of the scenario, you should have 2-3 shock troopers and 1 half-advanced mage.
It is sometimes a good idea to recruit another mage on turn 10 or so, since you will probably end the scenario with less than 100 gold anyway, so you save money by buying in advance. (mathematically this does make sense). Also, you can get them about 10 experience along the way.
Escape Tunnel
Don't bother recalling HI, they go too slow in caves. Go for a group of mostly mages, and a couple of spearmen. If a spearmen or mage is quick, have it get the holy water (unlike in other campaigns this holy water is permanent). Use it and Dacyn against the undead, and use the mages against the trolls. Since you have allies they shouldn't die. Send Gweddry with a (hopefully) quick mage southeast to avoid the trolls and go to the finish. Send the mage to get the gold, and get Gweddry to the end of the tunnel for a victory.
Giving Gweddry the holy amulet here allows him to level very quickly, which is important, since he can advance to Grand Marshal. This gives benefits in other ways on a number of later scenarios as well, such as the River Crossing, where you can get an easy 1st turn kill against the undead leader and take his castle. Note that the leader is very hard to kill anyway.
An Unexpected Appearance
What you do in this scenario depends on which way you want to go. Going east is harder, but brings you more reward, such as the chance to go to Mal-Ravanal's Capital, which gives you the opportunity to get extra experience (a lot for whoever survives) and a free Paladin and several Knights.
Obviously, first kill Mal-Tar. To do this, shoot him with Dacyn and attack him with Gweddry's melee. It probably won't kill him the first turn, so second turn kill the vampire bat he recruits with Dacyn and finish Mal-Tar off with Gweddry.
Then, recall 2 shock troopers and 1 half-advanced heavy infantry on the side of the castle you are going (so if you are attacking eastward, recall them on the 3 eastern castle hexes). This gives them a headstart in that direction. Dacyn might be wounded, so send him to a village. Don't worry, he can fend for himself, since the bats usually arrive one at a time and he can kill one per turn.
Recall any mages with a lot of XP and the spearman you gave the holy water in the previous scenario, then go whichever way you are going. You might want to recruit one throw-away cavalryman to go north, since he gives you income and draws away enemies that otherwise would attack your main force from behind.
Diverging Campaign Path
Elven Alliance
The Orc's warning about the assassin is overrated; Volas can probably take care of it himself, although you might want to leave ONE unit near him to make sure.
Recruit / recall a wide assortment of units, mostly mages, spearmen and cavalry. Send mages and spearmen up to fight the opponent, send cavalry down as scouts. Any heavy infantry should go up to fight also; they will probably arrive late, and be good for reinforcements when the first troops are wounded.
Align the troops in the forest, so that the enemy will be on grass; this gives you a tactical advantage. Use Dacyn to heal those who need it most - those on the corners, and any mages who are on the front lines.
There is a village at {20,8} that can prove tactically very useful, because the elves usually fight somewhere near it. The elves are defeated most of the time, and the orcs claim this village; it is crucial to kill the orc on this village and take it over with a resilient spearman, or a HI.
Once you have gotten past turn 6, it will be day, and the orcs will be very easy to defeat. When the assassin appears on turn 7, ignore it unless you have a cavalryman still down there. In that case, use it to fight the assassin. Keep pressing up. By turn 9, the orcish leader should be dead.
The Undead Border Patrol
This scenario also depends on which way you want to go. If going NW, it is fairly straightforward. The enemy is relatively weak. Do the same as in Unexpected Appearance - recruit 2 suicide cavalrymen to distract the bats. One will probably get enough XP to be worth recalling.
I would use mostly heavy infantry and spearmen with holy water on this level, because mages will only get a +10% to hit from magical. However, as in most scenarios against undead, white mages are very useful.
Try to get the opponent to fight you from the sand. This gives you something like a 70% CTH. >)
(CTH = Chance To Hit).
Mal-Ravanal's Capital
Only reachable from The Undead Border Patrol scenario, but you might also skip it and go directly to Northern Outpost.
This is a very challenging scenario. I started with only 100 gold, so I recalled one Mage, two Shock Troopers, one Heavy Infantry, and my holy Halberdier. I defended the starting castle for about 10 turns until the Revenants had made their way over to me. Upon killing several of them, I freed some imprisoned Knights and a Paladin. I moved my forces to kill the Death Knight, and then split my forces. I sent one group to attack Mal-Ravanal and the other to kill the Necromancer in the NW corner.
By turn 30, my Eastern assault force was in postion to attack Mal-Ravanal. However, when I attacked him, he teleported my troops back to the starting castle, so I wasn't able to defeat him. When I was ready, I killed the NW Necromancer and progressed to The Northern Outpost.
As of 1.0.2 it's the Bone Shooters that must be killed to release knights. On the first kill you will get a Paladin as well as the Knight. These seem to all appear around the same village. Maybe they group around the Paladin. Each unit pops in with full moves. If you can use some of them to kill other Bone Shooters, you end up with a substantial cavalry force very quickly.
On easy at least, in 1.0.2, my opponents summoned no Bone Shooters, only Revenants. It took a while for them to arrive, and I could have killed the NW Necromancer, but I waited it out. I still got paladins and knights for killing Revenants. (vfb)
The reason to go here is to acquire a loyal cavalry force of one Paladin and four Knights. To do this kill four Revenants or Bone Shooters. The first kill gets you a Paladin and a Knight. Each succeeding kill gets you one more Knight. They all appear in or around the village southeast of your castle. To end the scenario, have your cavalry force kill the southwest Necromancer while holding your castle from the assault. This can be done by turn 14 giving you a sizeable bonus. You might send expendable cavalrymen north and southeast to distract the enemies, but it won't do much.
The Northern Outpost
Reachable both from The Undead Border Patrol and the Elven Alliance scenarios.
There are two enemies in this scenario that you must defeat - the undead and the outlaws.The undead are fairly straightforward to defeat, and in any case Owaec usually does most of the work. Just aid him with a few well-placed shock troopers (1-2 should do). That was the easy part.
The main challenge is the criminals. They appear randomly in the villages you flag (one of the villages has assasin that is outlaw leader), but not in those Owaec flags. So don't worry about him uncovering enemies for you. Since when you capture a village the outlaws surround it, you should surround each village before you capture it, so the enemy surrounds you. This makes it so they can't gang up on one of your units with more than 3 people. Also, when you capture a village, try to kill as many enemies as you can before they get a turn.
A Cavalry force (such as the one acquired in Mal-Ravanal's Capital) makes short work of the bandits. Lower level units have trouble against the Bandits, especially at night. Slower moving units also have a disadvantage in searching the villages.
In addition, an amulet is located three turns southwest of the starting castle (for Gweddry) A good strategy is to have him get it and go help with the undead.
Note that from this scenario on you can recruit horsemen. You might want to level up a paladin or two, for fast mobile undead removal services (and quick leader assasination).
/* governor */ Just a note: I had the misfortune of taking a group of men to a village where 5or6 enemies appeared. After taking heavy damage, I retreated my char (low on hitpoints) out of the village. When I recaptured the village the same group of enemies reappeared. Since AI enemies seem to prefer recapturing villages this can allow you to obtain easy experience for weak units a few times.
Two Paths
There is a choice to be made here, whether you want to fight the undead or the orcs. The orcs will be harder to defeat, because their leader is level 3, but it might pay off later to kill him. It depends on how large an army you have by now. If you can't take the orcs, you should recall what holy and impact units you do have and attack the undead. You should set up a barrier so that the orcs can't attack your white mages and such. The orcs like to use assassins, so you might need a white mage to help support the barrier, or just put a HI on a village. The orcs might go for him, not around him.
If you want to go for the orcs, remember, there are only 12 turns, so you have to go straight north. I used lots of level 2 and 3 mages I had from the previous maps, then sent the 2 strongest west to fight off the (very weak) undead creatures, while everything else went north, killing the orc warlord just in time at turn 12.
Diverging Campaign Path
Undead Crossing
Nicknameless person thinks that this is easier choice, because you're facing lich. Lich is turned to undead so it's weak to fire, impact and holy attacks, unlike Necromancer. Just get all those units with holy water, recruit lots of heavy infantry and mages, get everyone over river, to the east coast of island the lich is at. Wait there until it's daytime, and then simply CHARGE!!!
The Crossing
I had only 100 gold, so recruited some units and went straight north from turn one on. The fighting in the water was quite hard, with some orcs coming down from the north. The un-dead only appeared when I was in the middle of the river, so no encounter with them, and the ogre's helped get rid of the orcs on the north side. (Allefant)
If you have Holy Gweddry, you can (sometimes) get a 1st turn kill on the 1st undead leader, scarf up all the villages, and return to kill the 2nd undead forces before their leader can recruit anything. If you don't, the second undead leader will recruit lots of level two units. The orcs will start out across the river, but usually most of them turn back to fight the ogre reinforcements. Waiting till their first wave hits your shore and wiping them out in the water will probably leave you just enough time to cross the river and find there are only 2 or 3 enemy units left besides the leaders.
Make sure to cover your rear flank with some expendable troops (such as Heavy Infantry) as the undead can move more quickly through the water than your units.
Another strategy is to go straight into the water after killing the first undead leader using the deep water in the middle of the path to seperate the orc forces. You go to the right with Gweddry and Owaec and some support troops while letting the ogres kill many of the orcs in your way. Knights and a Paladin can hold off the orcs enough to get across while the undead behind you are not an issue.
Note: Owaec can move only one hex a turn in the water.
Training the Ogres
This can be a confusing scenario to understand. Basically, you are fighting the ogres while also trying not to let them reach the rocky borders where they will "escape" (or disappear). Understand how the AI works and that units will attack the weakest units who are closest to levelling.
I made it 5 turns with 2 ogres remaining by killing two of them right at the start with Gweddry, then letting the other two chase Dacyn and Owaec.
(what did you do about the remaining minus one ogres in version 1.1.11? Also, I find that when there are only two, they try their utmost to escape)
Note: Whether or not to use ogres is a matter of playing style. Once they level up, Ogres are quite a tough unit that deals middling damage, but unfortunately can't advance beyond level 2. Their upside is that they move at normal speed on hills and cave floor, which makes them your most mobile unit in at least one scenario (Captured). And as they are of neutral alignment, they can sometimes be handy to have around at nighttime.
This one was pretty easy. I recruited as much as I could, then went straight west to the elves, since they looked weakest. Then from there I went north, letting Owaec grab the holy water. When I arrived at the orc castle, orcs and dwarfs had almost killed each other - so I went with a huge army to the dwarven castle and finished around turn 25. (Allefant)
Another strategy is to go for the dwarves first. They start out by sending my of their troops to fight the orcs, leaving their leader unguarded. When you kill him, start going west. When you get to the orcs, they and the elves should have reduced their numbers drastically, allowing you a relatively easy victory. Then, head south for the elvish leader, who will probably not have much to recruit. Although it is forest, a few mages will make sure a little bad luck doesn't hurt you.
The main strategy in this scenario is staying out of the fighting as much as possible, picking off the weaker sides, and in general letting your enemies kill themselves.
There was a bug in this scenario [really just a typo in the event] that was causing the holy amulet on square 20, 12 to actually be trigered when you move onto sqare 12, 2. This is fixed as of 1.0.2.
Lake Vrug
A dragon and a gryphon caught me by surprise, but I had way over-recruited so both were slain on sight. Later some trolls attacked along the way, which I chased to get some XP. On this scenario, don't recruit too much, since there aren't many enemies.
This scenario is fairly straightforward. You start in the south and need to move your leaders north across a bridge and to the west to the end of the path. As mentioned above, there isn't much need to recruit heavily: some heavy infantry to block attackers and some mages to kill trolls. To save on gold, recruit a horseman or two and send them west right before the river--there's a path there leading through some Gryphon villages.
You will run into some gryphon, a dragon, and a handful of trolls across the river. Keep a cadre of heavy infantry and mages to tackle them while you send your leaders to the west. Be careful of the gryphons' mobility and ability to swing around troops' zones of control and deliver the final blow to some injured troops.
If you'd like you can follow the path through the mountains to the northeast where there may be a few more trolls to hack up.
You start out by running up a tunnel to find some of your companions. If you go back down that way or you will have to face some extremely mean trolls in the narrow tunnel. Instead, follow the tunnel to the north and west and face a few bats as you proceed. At the end of that tunnel, you will enter a throne room where there is a leader and some enemy troops.
Upon entering the throne room, a group of your wounded troops will appear in a cavern called the "Torture Room" to the east. They will face a number of assassins and trolls as they leave the Torture Room moving west.
Victory occurs when Gweddry moves through the exit in the southwest corner, but there is no early finish bonus. You can flag numerous villages in a cavern called "The City," a cavern southwest of the Torture Room while killing orcs for the full 40 turns. Note: Most of the orcs are level two and three units.
The current version (gotten with the Debian package for Wesnoth 1.0) has a holy necklace on this level, at coordinates x=12, y=2. Grab it to kill undead better.
In version 0.9.1, this one seems to be a bit unbalanced (i.e., too easy). I recalled all my strong units because of the messages that you have to move everyone you want to keep south and then destroy the bridge. But instead, I could kill all three enemy leaders in just a few turns and no losses (I had only level 2 and 3 units). First I moved my whole army to the eastern Orc, then to the southern, then to the Troll, and was done in 6 turns. That way I didn't have to blow up the bridge (which isn't worth seeing - I expected a big explosion, but the bridge just disappeared) and could keep all recruits, not just the ones I recalled.
It seems that in 1.0, the scenario is a bit more balanced. In fact many players find this frustratingly difficult--you will lose troops you've spent the whole game trying to deveop.
Some strategies suggest taking out one or two of the leaders, but many end up losing too many troops and having an unprotected rear while crossing the bridge. In the end, spend the first round recruiting fodder, the second for recalling the troops you want to keep, and the rest sending fodder out and trying to get across the damn bridge.
You will need quite a bit of gold to complete this scenario, as you won't be able to hold enough villages to sustain your upkeep. You might consider replaying the previous scenario--look for the City to the south--to acquire over 400 gold to enter this scenario.
Note that troops left on the bridge when the engineer reaches the signposts will also be retained.
[Garion] In 1.0, I recruited a lot of Cavalry for fodder, spacing them 1 hex apart to establish a ZOC corridor from my castle to the bridge. They got chewed up very quickly, but they bought me enough time to get out. Use a few Shock Troopers to guard your rear against the Blue enemy; they're too slow to escape anyway. Remember to recall your slowest units closest to the bridge, to minimize the time they spend in transit. I was able to evacuate 2 Holy Cavaliers, 2 Paladins, a Great Mage, the three heroes, a quick Iron Mauler, 2 White Mages, and a Mage of Light.
[Vladevil] In 1.2.6 what worked best for me was recruiting only fodder for 2 turns, then running away with all the main characters. I let Owaec and the mage first and Gweddry last since he can take some hits. All in all I was finished on the 6th turn without losing any valuable troops.
[IoN] I find that Gryphons are most promising as fodder. They eat into your funds, true, but they can take some hits and fight back satisfactorily. In this way, I managed to get all my troops that I wished to save across with quite a bit of time to spare. On the other hand, I tend to minimize in campaigns, leveling up only as many high-level units as I think I'll need.
The Drowned Plains
The Skeletal Dragon will be found in or near the castle. In getting there, there is a chance the undead (three units mostly level two and an occasional level three) will spring out of the ground near the unit you just moved. Therefore less units are better. Advanced mages and paladins work well here. The villages will get you either 20 gold or two peasants to help you.
Also note that the Skeletal Dragon has lowered resistance against impact (but not holy, and strong resistance against everything else). The dragon is just wandering around, and won't attack or go for you until you get near it, so make sure you have a powerful enough force ready to kill it before you move within range of it.
[Bartimaeus] Or you could just sacrifice the peasants that you might find in some of the villages. Get them to charge into unknown territory, reveal the enemy and get your stronger units to obliterate them next turn.
Approaching Weldyn
This scenario is fairly easy, and should only take 6-8 units. The first turn, recall any mounted holy units you may have (paladins, or any other who have picked up an amulet), and some advanced mages. Don't get heavy infantry, they are too slow, and a rush strategy is most appropriate. Rush the Dark Sorcerer closest to you; since he only recruits level 1 units, he should be easy to defeat. If you are good, he will be dead around turn 5. Then, just run south with Gweddry, and defeat against any undead coming at you from the west with your other units. Since the other two enemies are more powerful than the one you killed, and Konrad II acts, well, stupid, they might start beating him. So, send some of your quicker units (the mounted ones) to help him out. Just make sure the undead archers don't kill them.
The Council
Only plot in this. You see the inside of the castle.
Weldyn Under Attack
Luckily, you have a lot of allies, but they tend to act rather stupid, and their units are level 2 while the enemies' are level 3. So, they will serve as distractions, but won't win the battle for you. The southeastern enemy is strongest; save him for last. Your allies don't even try to attack or defend against the southeastern enemy; the field is clear between them and you. Set up a defensive wall of a few level one units (mages and heavy infantry are good) to hold them off, then send your high-level mages and cavalry to destroy the other two liches. Once that's done, your forces can converge on the last one to wipe him out.
Diverging Campaign Path
The Duel
Get ready to face an assorted set of one ancient lich, 6 liches and necromancers, plus some lower units.
3 great mages and 3 mages of light can do the trick, just go for Mal-Ravanal at daylight. Seemed much too easy (version 0.9.1 + 1.0, medium difficulty). He is really dumb (or cocky), blindly rushing forward. Even suiciding on a white mage isn't beneath him.
If you ever gave a red mage an amulet and leveled him up, a holy great mage can kill Mal-Ravanal in two hits. A strong Iron Mauler with an amulet and leadership (Grand Marshal) can even take him out in one hit. But if you plan on Iron Mauling your way through, keep in mind that they are vulnerable to cold ! Thus the best units here are without a doubt cavaliers outfitted with an amulet. If you don't have or want amulets, I guess some paladins could be used too.
Weldyn Besieged
I had hoped for a big final battle like in Heir of the Throne - but instead I could assassinate Mal-Ravanal in just 5 turns. Apparently, the later scenarios in "Eastern Invasion" aren't balanced yet (version 0.9.1 here, medium difficulty).

Head MYA No. 6 (2014)
Rating: / 5
Price: $700.00
Year: 2014
Level: 2
Gender: Female
Waist Width: 109
Tip/Tail/Waist: 127-79-109
Lengths: 142, 149, 156, 163, 170
The Mya No. 6, with its 79-mm waist, is a trail-oriented all-mountain generalist aimed at intermediate to advanced women. Given its versatility and approachable price, Head expects it to be one of its top selling women's skis. It's sold only as a system, with a 10-DIN Head Mya binding. It's a Sandwich Cap Construction (wood-core laminate layup, with shortened vertical sidewalls, for edge grip, topped by rounded cap-construction shoulders, for a touch of forgiveness). Head's Allride Rocker combines 80 percent camber for edge and rebound with 20 percent tip rocker for soft-snow flotation and shock absorption. All Mya women's models feature Head's ERA 3.0 design philosophy. The "3.0" refers to the fundamental triad of radius (ie. sidecut), rebound (ie. flex), and rocker. Head designs all ERA skis so that these three fundamentals work in harmony, specifically adding more width at the tip so that the introduction of tip rocker doesn't compromise turn initiation.

Its finally FRIDAY. This week has been a long one for me, I got slammed with influenza (how did I not remember your teeth hurt when you have a high fever!?). So since its been such a 'fun' week, hey, why not, let's talk about CREDIT CARDS!
What you may ask do credit cards have to do with buying a house? Well, frankly, more than you expect. It's this pesky thing called YOUR credit score (see list below). Its one thing if you have credit cards and carry balances you pay off each month. Its another thing if you are only making minimal payments. So, #4 impacts #1. Oy.
Your score is most influenced by TWO things: HOW you pay your debts & HOW MUCH DEBT you owe."
So here is the brass tacks of your credit; the Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO 'score') says these factors (& weights) drive your credit score.
• Payment History (35%) : account payment info, bankruptcy or judgments, how long overdue payments are, amount past due, & the time since any adverse occurrences.
• Amounts Owed (30%) : amounts owed on accounts individually & totaled together as a whole, number of accounts with balances, proportion of credit line used & proportion of installment loan amounts still owed.
• Length of Credit History (15%) : time since you accounts have been open as well as the time since your accounts have been active.
• New Credit (10%) : number of & time since recently opened accounts & proportion to total accounts, number of & time since recent credit inquires, & the re-establishment of positive credit history following past payment problems.
• Types of Credit Used (10%) :number of various types of accounts, like credit cards, retail accounts, installment loans, mortgage, etc.
So, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN if you want to buy a home?
It means be THOUGHTFUL before you decide opening another store credit card is a good idea (even IF you get 10% off today's purchase....TRUST me the 10% off your $1,000 purchase dims in comparison in what it means for your mortgage rate terms).
One last list, I promise! #1, 3, 4, 7 all relate to your credit card! The pretty plastic square should come with a Danger sticker on it!
Want to learn more about business considerations for credit cards, see Best Busienss Credit Cards.
Happy Friday peeps, and make good life choices--especially credit wise!
Keep smiling.

Iberdrola Renewables received a permit to site a 48 megawatt (2MW turbines) along ridgelines in Groton, New Hampshire. The project also included a 4,000 +/- square foot operations and maintenance building to be located behind a thick row of trees.
During the construction phase of the project, Iberdrola decided to move the operations building hundreds of feet from the approved location. This change resulted in the clear-cutting of a forested area and placing the industrial building directly in the front yard of at least one abutted. Iberdrola claims that it was working within the permissions granted in the permit.
The company took this action without notifying New Hampshire's siting board (Site Evaluation Committee) who granted the permit. Abutters, the host and neighboring towns and no members of the public were notified. A complaint was filed and awaiting redress. The attached documents detail the complaint.

Having experienced first-hand the benefits of practising yoga throughout her pregnancy, birth and beyond, Ivy was inspired to teach yoga to all.
Ivy has over 21 years of experience as a nurse and a health visitor and has been practising yoga since she was a child. She qualified as a yoga teacher in 2008 and has since specialised in pre and postnatal, baby, toddler and pre-school yoga.
YOGIMAMA - Pregnancy Yoga
Public health research has revealed that reduction of stress in pregnancy not only improves the neurodevelopment of babies in the womb but also in the neonatal months and in early childhood.
YOGIBABY&ME - Mother and Baby Yoga
Yoga for babies combines touching, stroking, handling and movement which brings about a powerful multi sensory stimulation for babies. Touching alone has been shown to improve the function of all the body's systems.
YOGIBUNNIES - Toddler & Pre-School Yoga
There are few activities that small children actually do better than adults but yoga is certainly one of them. They are flexible, energetic and have incredible imaginations.
Ivy is passionate about pre and postnatal care and believes yoga to be a wonderful avenue for connecting mind and body that can benefit parents, carers, baby and child in a fun and active way. Ivy believes yoga should be accessible to all. Her classes are suitable for beginners or for those who would like to adapt their regular yoga practice.

vired from that source; and the constant contemplation of the massacres of Canaan, and of the provisions of the Levitical code, produced its natural effect upon their minds."
It is scarcely possible to write a history of the decline of witchcraft in Scotland, for the change of opinions was almost entirely unmarked by incidents on which we can dwell. At one period we find every one predisposed to believe in witches. At a later period we find that this predisposition has silently passed away. Two things only can, I think, be asserted on the subject with confidence—that the sceptical movement advanced much more slowly in Scotland than in England, and that the ministers were among the latest to yield to it. Until the close of the seventeenth century, the trials were sufficiently common, but after this time they became rare. It is generally said that the last execution was in 1722; but Captain Burt, who visited the country in 1730, speaks of a woman who was burnt as late as 1:27.' The same very keen observer was greatly struck by the extent to which the belief still continued in Scotland, at a time when it was quite abandoned by the educated classes in England; and he found its most ardent supporters among the Presbyterian ministers. As late as 1773, 'the divines of the Associated Presbytery' passed a resolution declaring their belief in witchcraft, and deploring the scepticism that was general.
It is rather remarkable that Bodin had also formed his theology almost exclusively from the Old Testament, his reverence for which was so great that some (Grotius and Hallam among others) have questioned whether he believed the New.
2 The silent unreasoning character of the decline of Scotch witchcraft has been noticed by Dugald Stewart, Dissert. p. 508.
3 Burt's Letters from the North of Scotland, vol. i. pp. 227–234, and 271– 277. I suspect Burt has misdated the execution that took place in 1722, placing it in 1727. · Macaulay, Hist., vol. iii. p. 706.
I have now completed my review of the history of witchcraft, in its relation to the theologies of Rome, of England, and of Geneva. I have shown that its causes are to be sought, not within the narrow circle of doctrines and phenomena that are comprised under the name, but in the general intellectual and religious condition of the ages in which it flourished. I have shown, in other words, that witchcraft resulted, not from isolated circumstances, but from modes of thought; that it grew out of a certain intellectual temperature acting on certain theological tenets, and reflected with almost startling vividness each great intellectual change. Arising amid the ignorance of an early civilisation, it was quickened into an intenser life by a theological struggle which allied terrorism with credulity, and it declined under the influence of that great rationalistic movement which, since the seventeenth century, has been on all sides encroaching on theology. I have dwelt upon the decadence of the superstition at considerable length; for it was at once one of the earliest and one of the most important conquests of the spirit of rationalism. There are very few examples of a change of belief that was so strictly normal, so little accelerated by sectarian passions or individual genius, and therefore so well suited to illustrate the laws of intellectual development. Besides this, the fact that the belief when realised was always followed by persecution, enables us to trace its successive stages with more than common accuracy, while the period that has elapsed since its destruction has, in a great measure, removed the subject from the turbid atmosphere of controversy.
It is impossible to leave the history of witchcraft without reflecting how vast an amount of suffering has, in at least this respect, been removed by the progress of a ration
alistic civilisation. I know that when we remember the frightful calamities that have from time to time flowed from theological divisions; when we consider the countless martyrs who have perished in the dungeon or at the stake, the millions who have fallen in the religious wars, the elements of almost undying dissension that have been planted in so many noble nations, and have paralysed so many glorious enterprises, the fate of a few thousand innocent persons who were burnt alive seems to sink into comparative insignificance. Yet it is probable that no class of victims endured sufferings so unalloyed and so intense. Not for them the wild fanaticism that nerves the soul against danger, and almost steels the body against torments. Not for them the assurance of a glorious eternity, that has made the martyr look with exultation on the rising flame as on the Elijah's chariot that is to bear his soul to heaven. Not for them the solace of lamenting friends, or the consciousness that their memories would be cherished and honoured by posterity. They died alone, hated and unpitied. They were deemed by all mankind the worst of criminals. Their very kinsmen shrank froin them as tainted and accursed. The superstitions they had imbibed in childhood, blending with the illusions of age, and with the horrors of their position, persuaded them in many cases that they were indeed the bond-slaves of Satan, and were about to exchange their torments upon earth for an agony that was as excruciating, and was eternal. And, besides all this, we have to consider the terrors which the belief must have spread through the people at large; we have to picture the anguish of the mother, as she imagined that it was in the power of one whom she had offended to blast in a moment every object of her affection ; we have to conceive, above all, the awful shadow that the
dread of accusation must have thrown on the enfeebled faculties of age, and the bitterness it must have added to desertion and to solitude. All these sufferings were the result of a single superstition, which the spirit of rationalism has destroyed.
The same habits of mind which induced men at first to recoil from the belief in witchcraft with an instinctive and involuntary repugnance as intrinsically incredible, and afterwards openly to repudiate it, have operated in a very similar manner, and with very similar effects, upon the belief in modern miracles. The triumph, however, has not been in this case so complete, for the Church of Rome still maintains the continuance of miraculous powers; nor has the decay been so strictly normal, for the fact that most of the Roman Catholic miracles are associated with distinctively Roman Catholic doctrines has introduced much miscellaneous controversy into the question. But, notwithstanding these considerations, the general outlines of the movement are clearly visible, and they are well deserving of a brief notice.
If we would realise the modes of thought on this subject prior to the Reformation, we must quite dismiss from our minds the ordinary Protestant notion that miracles were very rare and exceptional phenomena, the primary object of which was always to accredit the teacher of some divine truth that

Physiology of defaecation
In this step we explore the physiology of defaecation including the anal sphincter mechanism, the defaecation process and the implications on both of not having the correct posture on the toilet.
Control of defaecation
The basic requirements for bowel continence are:
- Rectum – a compliant reservoir with adequate capacity
- Sphincters – intact internal anal sphincter (IAS) and external anal sphincter (EAS) which generate adequate pressures
- Normal sensation - rectal distension, anal sensation and reflex contractions
- Co-ordinating system – the brain and nervous systems
Anal sphincter mechanism
In the previous step we looked at the anatomy of the bowel and the anal sphincters and now we look at the anal sphincter mechanism in greater detail and the balance between maintaining continence and expelling a stool.
Figure 4.4: Anal sphincter mechanism when the rectum is empty.
- When the rectum is empty:
- Contraction of puborectalis muscle produces anorectal angulation
- Internal anal sphincter (IAS) contracts
- External anal sphincter (EAS) contracts
- Continence is maintained
Note: For continence to be maintained the anorectal angle must be less than 90 degrees.
Figure 4.5: Anal sphincter mechanism during defaecation.
- During defaecation:
- Sensation of stool in rectum
- IAS relaxes
- EAS relaxes
- Puborectalis muscle relaxes
- Rectum contracts
- Abdominal muscles contract
- Stool is expelled
Defaecation process
The defaecation process is:
- Triggered by gastro-colic reflex (this will be covered in greater detail later on in the week).
- Stool and gas transported to rectum – peristaltic contractions
- Usually initiated by a meal
- Distention of rectum – registered in cerebral cortex
- Reflex relaxation of IAS
- Stool moves down coming in contact with receptors in upper anal tract
- Sampling reflex
For defaecation to occur :
- Further contraction of rectal muscles
- Relaxation of EAS
- Puborectalis muscle relaxes, widening the anorectal angle and opening the anal canal
Correct posture on the toilet
Clinical practice point. The correct posture on the toilet is essential to relax the puborectalis muscle, widen the angle and open the canal.

Microsoft receives award from UAE Ministry of Education
Microsoft wins award for its continued support to the education sector at Future Day celebrations in Sharjah.
The UAE Ministry of Education presented an award to Microsoft for its continued support to the education sector at the 16th Future Day celebrations held at Sharjah Cultural Centre. The award was handed over to Abdul Latif Almulla, general manager, Microsoft South Gulf by Dr. Ali Abdul Aziz Al Sharhan, minister of Education and Youth.
"Microsoft worldwide, as well as in this region, has a strong commitment to the student community, be it in the form of software training, discounted pricing for education software or student seminars like OpenDoor Education designed for educators as well as for students themselves," explained Almulla. "Another important ongoing education initiative is the assistance that our Arabic localisation team provides for students working on research papers on Microsoft technology. Together with the Ministry, we are greatly encouraged to spur our efforts in continuing to assist them," he added.
Microsoft has been working with various education institutions on individual and group levels to encourage extensive use of its platform among the younger generation. With heavy discounts, it has also urged insitutions to respect copyright laws and discouraged software piracy. Last May, the software titan signed a landmark campus agreement with the Ministry of Education that was designed to modernise the channels of delivery in the education sector.
"We can bridge the digital divide with empowering our most important resource – our youth, who are the torchbearers of tomorrow's economy. Having said that, we are committed to helping them realise their true potential by providing them with the best level of training and constantly boost their technology related knowledge levels," stated Almulla.

The cost of renting an apartment has increased at a faster rate than the average renters income. Fortunately, rent is based on supply and demand just like every other product and if you find out when demand is lowest, you can get a good deal on an apartment. Some areas, like New York or Chicago, do not see a decrease in demand at any point of the season so it is important that you do some research first. Landlords aren't normally willing to hand out discounts, they use special formulas to calculate competitive rental rates based on several different factors. If they won't budge on rental rate, consider other discounts like free parking or pet fees. There isn't an ideal time to move, but with some careful research and negotiating, you might be able to sneak a deal.

New Early Learning Centre Officially Opens its Doors
News Release
(Sault Ste. Marie, ON August 23, 2018) –
Today, surrounded by community members, supporters, staff and special guests, Sault College celebrated the official grand opening of the new home of its Early Learning Centre! The centre, currently in its 45th year, recently moved to the new, refreshed space to continue its long history of offering welcoming, respectful, and stimulating early learning and care to numerous community families and an amazing practical learning environment for the College's Early Childhood Education (ECE) students.
The new location has positioned the Centre to increase the amount of childcare spaces further reinforcing the College's commitment to its students and community members. Now accommodating 80 children, ten new infant spots and eight new preschool spots have been added. The Centre now has a total of 10 infant (0-18 months), 30 toddler (18 -30 months) and 40 preschool spots (31 months – 5 years old), and also runs the before and after school care programs at St. Paul's School for children 4-12 years.
The Early Learning Centre continues to be a valuable resource both to area families as well as Sault College students who benefit tremendously from onsite childcare. Additionally, the Centre offers subsidy for families, Indigenous specific funding, and provides economic benefits to our community through the employment of more than 19 staff members.
The Centre also serves as the LAB for the ECE program. The staff work collaboratively with the faculty of the program to provide onsite learning opportunities for ECE students enrolled at Sault College. These experiential learning opportunities have been critical in helping our students grow and thrive in their chosen field of study. This hands-on learning is paramount in the education of our students and positions them well to successfully transition into a workforce that is in high demand both locally and provincially. At this time, all full-time staff employed at the Centre are graduates of the College's ECE program.
"We couldn't be more proud to officially open our new Early Learning Centre," said Nancy Leindecker, Manager, Early Learning Centre. "Our beautiful new facility has so much to offer staff, students and community members alike. We are tremendously excited to continue teaching and caring for our young generation in this revitalized Centre."
The new Early Learning Centre was made possible through funding received from the: District of Sault Ste. Marie Social Services Administration Board (DSSAB), Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU), and the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC).
"The support received from DSSAB, MTCU, and NOHFC has been instrumental in bringing this project to fruition," said Dr. Ron Common, President, Sault College. "We're grateful for the ongoing support from these partners. The staff of our Early Learning Centre also played a vital role in making the Centre what it is today – their expertise, hard-work and passion has not gone unnoticed."
Benjamin Franklin once noted that without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning. In 1973, Sault College recognized the importance of supporting its students and staff with onsite childcare and opened the doors of its very first childcare centre. Through the years there have been many changes culminating to this moment in 2018 when we officially open the Early Learning Centre – a Centre that many staff, students, children and families are proud to call home and one that has and continues to shape the lives and minds of many.
Currently, there is a shortage of available and qualified Early Childhood Educators in Ontario. By graduating from the Early Childhood Education Program at Sault College, graduates have the opportunity to work in school-based child care, Early On Centres, Licensed Home-Based childcare, and culturally relevant child and family programs or licensed childcare in Indigenous communities. For more information about our Early Childhood Education program contact Colleen Brady, Coordinator and Professor, Early Childhood Education program at 705.759.2554 extension 2572.
To learn more about the Early Learning Centre, please contact Nancy Leindecker at 705-759- 2554 x 2744. –

The 27th feature in the Michael Shires Animated Classics, the film was directed by Scott Webb. The main characters are all vegetables and fruitties characters. After the failure of Shires's previous animated feature film The Black Cobwebs this simpler film proved to be a success upon its initial release in 1986. As such, the new senior management of the company were convinced that their animation department was still a viable enterprise and this set the stage for the until Paul and Company he's starting Shires Renaissance in 1988. ==Voice Cast:== *[[Eddie Murphy]] as Leonard Hulett/Captain Hulett (speaking voice) *[[Freddie Murphy]] as Leonard Hulett/Captain Hulett (singing voice) *[[Michael Hordern]] as Mr. Davidson *[[Alan Oppenheimer]] as Professor Carrot and King Carrot *[[Cheech Marin]] as Fetch the Onion *[[Susan Sherdian]] as Robyn Starling the Girl *[[Jimmy Hibbert]] as Mr. Starling *[[Bette Milder]] as Mrs. Johnson *[[Robin Williams]] as Mr. Nine the Storyteller, Space Man, Dumber the Elephant *[[Jim Cummings]] as Tomy the Dog, Mr. Cat *[[Diane Pershing]] as Princess Alexandra *[[Peter Cullen]] as Barth the Hound *[[Neil Ross]] as Delivery Service 1 *[[Michael Bell]] as Delivery Service 2 *[[John Stephenson]] as Dr. Ten *[[Jerry Nelson]] as Thing Guard 1 *[[Dave Goelz]] as Thing Guard 2 *[[Richard Hunt]] as Thing Guard 3 *[[Steve Whitmire]] as Thing Guard 4 *[[Jim Henson]] as Thing Guard 5 *Frank Oz]] as Thing Guard 6 ==Production:== *Captain Hulett The Movie was one of the first animated Shires films to introduce new sound effects for regular use, to replace many of their original classic sounds, which would be used occasionally in later Shires films. However, Paul and Company introduced even more new sound effects. The new sound effects were first introduced with Herman and Katnip The Movie, while The Black Cobwebs released a year after the previous film used the classic Shires SFX. This included some sounds such as the then fifty-year-old Castle thunder and the classic Boofy holler. However, the Shires television animation studio continued extensively using the classic Shires sound effects for several years, while the feature animation studio retired the original sound effects. ==Trivia:== *This was the third Shires with live-action and animation since of [[Herman and Katnip: The Movie]] (1980) and [[The Black Cobwebs]] (1985) ==Release:== *The film was released on November 7, 1986.

The 266,000 nonwhite invaders arrested inside the US over the last two years committed more than 100,000 assaults, 30,000 sex crimes and more than 4,000 murders—a crisis which President Donald Trump is fully justified in calling an emergency and drawing up alternative plans to build a border all after Congress refused to protect Americans.
In terms of an announcement from the White House today, President Trump has ordered Executive Action to "stop the national security and humanitarian crisis" at the US's Southern Border.
The statement said that President Trump would be "using his legal authority to take Executive action to secure additional resources, just as he promised. In part, he is declaring a national emergency that makes available additional troops and funding for military construction.
"Including funding in Homeland Security appropriations, the Administration has so far identified up to $8.1 billion that will be available to build the border wall once a national emergency is declared and additional funds have been reprogrammed, including:
About $601 million from the Treasury Forfeiture Fund
Up to $2.5 billion under the Department of Defense funds transferred for Support for Counterdrug Activities (Title 10 United States Code, section 284)
Up to $3.6 billion reallocated from Department of Defense military construction projects under the President's declaration of a national emergency (Title 10 United States Code, section 2808)."
These funding sources will be used sequentially and as needed, the White House statement continued.
The Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, and the Army Corps of Engineers are working to create a prioritized list of segments and a work plan for the remainder of FY 2019 and beyond.
New projects could include: new levee wall, new and replacement primary pedestrian barrier, new vehicle-to-pedestrian barrier, and new secondary barrier.
With regard to the declaration of a national emergency, the statement said, Trump would be ""using his clear authority to declare a national emergency as allowed under the National Emergencies Act."
Since 1976, presidents have declared nearly 60 national emergencies, and most of the previously declared national emergencies have been continually renewed and are still in effect, after being continually renewed.
In addition, the statement continued, multiple Governors have declared states of emergency along the border in the past. Former Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano, who became President Obama's DHS Secretary, declared a state of emergency along the border in 2005.
Former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson also declared a state of emergency at the border in 2005, while former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama both directed the use of the military to assist DHS in securing and managing the Southern Border.
"Former President Bush declared a national emergency in 2001, which invoked reprogramming authority granted by Title 10 United States Code, section 2808, and both he and former President Obama used that authority a total of 18 times to fund projects between 2001 and 2014," the statement pointed out.
With regard to the nature of the crisis, the statement said that immigration officers have made 266,000 arrests of criminal aliens in the last two fiscal years, and that this "includes aliens charged or convicted of approximately 100,000 assaults, 30,000 sex crimes, and 4,000 killings."
In addition, "tons of deadly drugs have flooded across the border and into our communities, taking countless American lives. Methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl all flow across our Southern Border and destroy our communities. More than 70,000 Americans died of drug overdoses in 2017 alone.
"Human traffickers exploit our borders to traffic young girls and women into our country and sell them into prostitution and slavery.
"Massive caravans of migrants view our unsecure border as a way to gain illegal entry into our country and take advantage of our nonsensical immigration loopholes," the statement added.
Democratic Party vows to overturn Trump's emergency declaration would require supermajorities in both the House and the Senate—an unlikely turn of events, so the most likely route they will follow is to tie up Trump's order with legal challenges in the courts.

I recently tried something risky: Mesotherapy Lipo Injectables! It's a controversial topic surrounded by a lot of doubt and skepticism that I wanted to dispel. I mean, I've heard about getting vitamins through intravenous therapy (IV), but getting injections to melt my fat is new to me! When I was invited to Skinfinity Skin and Body Spa in BGC, I refused their famous facials and went for their slimming solutions. I tried the Meso Lipo fat dissolve, which consisted of at least 10 shots injected into my desired area: ABS! I've grown a bit chubby in that area lately without Miguel to push me every morning to do 15-minute abs.
Before the procedure, Skinfinity had to soften up the lower abdomen fat through Lipo Cavitation for 20 mins. The doctor came into administer 10 Meso Lipo injectables across my belly, which only took around 5 minutes. The inoculation didn't hurt because the doctor was clinching onto my stubborn fat hard enough. The stinging sensation lasted for about an hour, an indication that the chemical was taking effect. I also found myself peeling a lot afterwards. The beauty in non-invasive slimming procedures like Lipo Cavitation, Radio Frequency and Meso Lipo is that you just pee the fat out.
Did it work? YES! Within the same day, my jeans weren't as tight around the waistline. After 2 days, I noticed that my tummy was a lot firmer. While Lipo Cavi and RF have immediate effects, Lipo Meso injections has a higher impact, thus more efficient.
Pro Tips:
1. Wear something that won't scrape the affected area. In my case, it was the waistline, so I should have worn a flowy dress.
2. Some tips after the procedure: Don't drink or eat for 4 hrs. When you DO start eating and drinking, avoid cold beverages and dishes.
3. Work out to make the most of the softened state of stubborn fat.
Apart from luxury facials, hair removals and slimming procedures, Skinfinity Clinic also has massage rooms and a sauna for their relaxation packages.
I was met by Kriska Peña, one of the owners of Skinfinity. Meanwhile, her business partner Arriahne Navaserro is responsible for bringing in their Korean technology. There are some interesting ones like the Cryosculpting, which I would love to try next! Cryosculpting sucks out fat through your pores. I'm like, "Wuuut?"
They're also proud of holding up the 10-step Korean Skincare Routine, which they've incorporated into their facials, as well as their Korean Whitening Body Scrub. You could say that their clinic is a Filipino Korean spa.
I would definitely come back for more Injectables or Cryosculpting!

Flag Pins?
I find it ironic that Barack Obama was criticized for not wearing a flag pin, about a year ago, and McCain chose not to wear a flag pin in the debate last night. His lack of flag pin went by without comment.
I don't think it is a particularly important point — patriotism isn't determined completely by apparel, but it does point out some of the innanity that occurred in the campaign just a year ago.

Benefits of Business Coaches
The people who coach and explain on some of the business activities are very important in ensuring that one starts a stable business that runs smoothly and with good profits. The experts who offer the knowledge about how to start and run the business are an important tool to their clients because of many of their advantages.
Some of the advantages of getting the help of the help and the services of these specialists may include. The incomes that can be realised by engaging into a particular practice that is meant and viewed as a business by a person is determined roughly by these experts in advising and hence one can know whether to venture into that business or not. The advantage of engaging or getting that advisor to help in the analysis of how viable an investment is is to prevent one starting and running those businesses with no benefits or profits and also avoiding those that can lead to loss of property especially in situations of mismanagement. They are also very important because they advise on some of the sources of capital that can be used to start a business in situations when an entrepreneur has the business plan but lacks the right or enough money to be used for the investment. When the business may lack enough clients or customers for the products and the services that they offer to the clients from the high struggle by other businesses to get the customers these experts offer advisory services on how to be the best and reach the biggest favour of the customers over the other firms. The business dealers are advised on how to solve issues that may be arising from the processes and the activities of the business and hence they are very important. They also explain the market trends and all the activities and some of the places with the best markets and where their investments gots for increasing the probability of the success it the operations of the business, and therefore they are very important.
The trainers are crucial in setting up of the courses of action to be used or undergone for the perfect achievement and performance of a business without incurring to high expenses while the highest returns are achieved. The business coaches are crucial because they understand and help an entrepreneur in starting that legal business to avoid getting into offensive practices that could lead them to difficulties. The value of the returns and the income that is realised on running or operating a particular business is higher than the cost that is incurred while using these experts and hence they are not expensive to hire and thus more advantageous.

A 14-year-old Brisbane boy is fighting for life in hospital after a high ropes accident during a school camp in the Sunshine Coast hinterland earlier today.
9NEWS understands the Year 9 student from Marist College Ashgrove didn't fall but became tangled in ropes while participating in the school activity.
Paramedics were called to Adventure Alternatives Education Centre on Woodrow Road shortly before 10.30am, where they found the student suffering from critical head and neck injuries.
He was airlifted to Lady Cilento Children's Hospital by the Rescue 500 helicopter with critical face and neck injuries at midday today, where his parents are now at his side.
In a statement this afternoon, Marist College Ashgrove confirmed the incident and said that the decision had been made to cancel the remainder of the school camp.
"All boys will return to the College this afternoon," the school states.
"At this time details of the accident are still coming to light and we will advise you of more details as we are made aware."
"We ask that you please keep the family in your prayers at this time."
