Hyman B. Muss, MD
Muss is director of the Geriatric Oncology Program at the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and Professor of Medicine at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. He chairs an American Society of Clinical Oncology task force on geriatric oncology and also is a co-chair of the Cancer in the Elderly Committee for Cancer and Leukemia Group B, a cooperative group sponsored by the National Cancer Institute.
"What's most important when talking with older patients is to understand their goals," said Muss, who noted that when older people with a serious illness are asked what their priorities are, they will typically say that maintaining cognitive function and independent living are most important to them. "When you get to age 78, even though you may be in relatively good health, your concerns are different."
Thus, clinicians need to accurately estimate the survival of the patient without the breast cancer, estimate the benefit of treatment, and understand the toxicity of the regimen, said Muss. Complicating the latter is the paucity of data comparing treatment risks and benefits in the elderly who are underrepresented in clinical trials. Data are lacking, for example, on how chemotherapy toxicity impacts function in older patients with breast cancer, Muss and coauthors wrote in a recent paper on the topic.1
To make appropriate treatment decisions for older patients, oncology professionals must go beyond the patient's age and look at life expectancy. "What we've learned is that we're really not very good at this," he said. "We didn't grow up with a lot of geriatric training, and there's still a lot of age bias."
Moreover, the need to conduct thorough geriatric assessments is complicated by the current shortage of geriatricians and geriatric-trained nurses, plus the practical difficulty of conducting a full, 2-3 hour comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) for each older patient with cancer. "This is just not realistic for all of the cancer patients that we have," Muss noted in an interview with Oncology Nursing News prior to MBCC. "Right now, 55% of cancer patients are 65 and older, and that number is just going to go up."
By the Numbers
Breast Cancer in Older Patients1
Breast cancer incidence per 100,000 women
- <65 years = 82
- ≥65 years = 404
30%-40% of all breast cancer patients are women aged ≥70.
The median age at diagnosis of breast cancer is 61 years.
Among patients aged ≥70, 85% of those with node-negative and 65% of those with node-positive breast cancer die of non-breast cancer–related causes.
"Although comprehensive geriatric assessment can take a variety of forms, the major components should be consistent. It is vital to assess the medical, psychosocial, functional, and environmental aspects of the older adult prior to developing a treatment plan," Kates continued.
One particularly useful assessment, Muss said, developed by Arti Hurria, MD, director of the Cancer and Aging Research Program at the Duarte, California– based City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center, takes, on average, 5-10 minutes of professional time and 20-30 minutes for the patient, who completes a questionnaire in the office. The survey is multidimensional, assessing such factors as the patient's physical, psychosocial, and cognitive function, medication use, nutritional status, and level of family or caregiver support.
Muss added that the information gathered can help improve a patient's quality of life beyond the cancer, leveraging community and family interventions in real time, for example, removing risks of falls, and improving nutritional support for patients with weight loss that is often unrelated to their cancer.
The website eprognosis.org is another helpful tool for healthcare professionals, said Muss. He said that he uses it and also encourages his fellows to use it in the clinic. "It has a series of scales— none are perfect—but they're certainly better than anybody's guess," he said. The scales allow practitioners to enter certain clinical and other information, such as body-mass index and history of smoking, other diseases, and cancer, and then use these indicators to estimate survival. The answers to four basic questions are also key, explained Muss: the number of hospitalizations in the last year; self-rated health, which, he noted, is "very, very accurate in predicting how people do"; instrumental activities of daily living such as paying bills and going to the grocery store; and difficulty walking a quarter mile.
Other helpful resources for clinicians include adjuvantonline.com and the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center's "Core Lectures in Geriatrics."
Although the movement toward more comprehensive assessments of older patients has been "very slow," Muss is encouraged by the fact that many of the major, academic medical centers are implementing geriatric oncology programs, and also by the increasing availability of tools which are fast, cheap, simple, and scalable.
"We all need to learn this," he said, "and just stand up to the plate and do it."

The first form we will discuss in this blog series is Form 5472—Information Return of a 25% Foreign-Owned U.S. Corporation or a Foreign Corporation Engaged in a U.S. Trade of Business. This form is required to be filed by U.S. corporations that have at least 25% foreign ownership and by foreign corporations that are engaged in a U.S. trade of business. It is an informational form that discloses the transactions the corporation has had throughout the tax year with foreign-related parties.
Penalties for failure to file Form 5472 can be severe. A penalty of $10,000 could be assessed on any reporting corporation that fails to file the form when due. Filing a substantially incomplete Form 5472 also constitutes a failure to file.
U.S. corporations with 25% or greater foreign ownership
A corporation is 25% foreign owned if it has at least one direct or indirect 25% foreign shareholder at any time during the year. When required, a separate Form 5472 must be filed for each foreign shareholder who is a 25% or greater owner of the U.S. corporation.
Form 5472 must be filed when the corporation has a reportable transaction with the foreign shareholder. In general, most transactions with foreign shareholders are considered to be reportable. Some examples of reportable transactions include sales, rents, royalties, and interest. The payment of dividends is not included as a reportable transaction.
The form requires the following information with regard to each 25% or greater shareholder: name, address, country of citizenship, the nature and amount of the reportable transaction, name of the country under whose laws the foreign shareholder files an income tax return, and the names of the countries where that shareholder conducts business.
Foreign corporations engaged in a U.S. trade of business
When a foreign corporation engaged in a U.S. trade or business has a reportable transaction with either a U.S. or a foreign-related party, Form 5472 is required to be filed. The purpose is to disclose the nature and amount of foreign and domestic transactions that occur with related parties.
But what constitutes engaging in a U.S. trade or business? This is not clearly defined by the Internal Revenue Code or the Treasury Regulations. However, the IRS has taken a position that activities beyond the mere passive receipt of income, if conducted in the United States, are sufficient to be considered engaging in a U.S. trade or business.
There are some exceptions to filing this form; you should seek professional advice regarding those exceptions. Due to the complexity of the form and the severity of the penalties for not filing, it is best to consult your tax advisor on the international issues associated with Form 5472.

On March 25 the Kansas House and Senate passed a concealed carry reform bill–SB 45–that ends the requirement for a permit to carry a concealed handgun in that state.
According to The Topeka Capital-Journal, SB 45 was sponsored by state representative Travis Couture-Lovelady (R-110th Dist.), who said requiring a permit for carry is just "a feel good measure." He said his bill "is about freedom and liberty. No more fees. No license. Carrying a guns is a lifestyle and government should trust its citizens."
SB 45 passed the house 85-39 and the senate "voted 31-8 to concur with the house."
The bill now goes to Governor Sam Brownback's (R) desk and, if signed, means that Kansans 21 years and older can carry a concealed handgun for self-defense without a permit.
State representative Louis Ruiz (D-Kansas City) opposed the measure, claiming it will turn Kansas "into the Wild West" and will result in lawlessness and "gun fights." Ruiz did not indicate whether lawless individuals have been waiting for the concealed carry law to change before carrying guns on their persons.
Five states currently allow concealed carry without permit, those are Alaska, Arizona, Montana, Vermont, and Wyoming.
West Virginia's House and Senate recently passed a bill repealing the permit requirement in their state, but the measure was vetoed by Governor Earl Ray Tomblin (D), who stood with Moms Demand Action and Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) over the rights of West Virginians.

A thousand years from now, if anyone is still alive, they'll call this the Gas Age. The Petroleum Period. The Oil Epoch. We'll be known by what we burned.
These humans of the future, gliding to work on solar-powered plasma beams, won't care about our wars, and they'll have trouble keeping the Napoleons and Lincolns straight, the same way that today we struggle to remember the difference between Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan. Mainly, they'll recall that we were promiscuous with hydrocarbons as we gallivanted all over the place in machines called cars. They'll shake their genetically modified, watermelon-sized heads in disapproval.
What they'll never grasp is what a blast the Gas Age has been.
The car may be evil, worse even than the belching, flatulent, carefully bred beast we call the cow, but the car is also the most delightful invention since fire. A car is fire converted to speed. The bad news: A planet is gradually ruined. The good news: The 2006 eight-cylinder Chevy Corvette can go zero-to-60 in 3.8 seconds!
We've all had gas on the brain lately, since it now costs more than milk. Some of us remember gas at 21 cents a gallon, 25 cents for premium, all of it leaded, burned in cars as big as rocket ships. We didn't have global warming back then, or "environmentalists." We had conservationists, who were people who did lots of hiking, fishing and hunting in remote places they'd driven to in a Pontiac ocean liner, towing an Airstream.
The car is a singularly American technology. It is a freedom machine in a freedom-crazed society. It promotes individuality. It laughs at communal living. The HOV lanes are under-subscribed for deep cultural reasons. Rugged individualism in America means never joining a car pool.
Whether you're male or female, a car is fundamentally virile. It is sex wrought in metal. Maturity in America comes not at puberty or high school graduation, but with the receipt of a driver's license and the state-sanctioned ability to get in a car, pick up a date, drive somewhere dark, park and make out. Vroom, vroom, baby.
When you get tired of tooling around town in American Graffiti mode, you light out for the territory, hit Route 66, get in a drag race like James Dean, head to Vegas like Hunter S. Thompson, spend weeks on the road like Jack Kerouac. Our cult heroes were brilliant drivers. You have to put out of your mind that Route 66 has been largely obliterated by freeways, that Dean died young in a car crash, that Thompson burned out and took his own life, and that Kerouac became a drunk and died of internal bleeding in St. Petersburg at the age of 47. Just keep driving.
In a car, you can change gears, directions and your destiny. The car is an extension of your body. Here's a Duke University neuroscientist rhapsodizing after an experiment showing how primates manipulate tools: "We're saying that it's not only the brain that is adaptable; it's the whole concept of self. And this concept of self extends to our tools. Everything from cars to clothing that we use in our lives becomes incorporated into our sense of self."
It's not just your car -- it's your wheeled appendage!
This is particularly important if you are a guy and you have appendage issues. As modern society robs us of masculinity, we compensate with bigger, brawnier, more priapic automobiles, those giant SUVs and Hummers and Monster Trucks, some of which we can jack up on hydraulic suspensions so they'll lurch and buck and bounce and make all kinds of whompa-whompa-whompa noises and do everything this side of mating with the nearest hatchback. Some cars are sexy, some just plain slutty.
This connection between the car and American society is so intense it's hard to imagine what we'll do if we run out of stuff to burn. If we can't drive fast, the thing we're driving is not a car anymore. It's a cart. Maybe they'll come up with a new, magic fuel, renewable and clean, somehow allowing us to scream down a highway without causing any environmental damage or violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
But, at the moment, we have to assume that our cars, and our individual sense of self, will have to change. Maybe the laws governing energy are the same as those governing life itself: We grow up, we get old, we slow down.
And we remember what a great ride we had.

Students in LGBTQ course present final projects
Youngstown State University students completing a new course on LGBTQ issues present their final projects this week, ranging from an interpretive dance about losing a family member to AIDS to a video chronicling LGBTQ history from the late 1800s.
The projects will be presented 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 3, in Room 119 of Beeghly Center.
The course, titled "LGBTQ Issues in History and Popular Culture," was offered for the first time this semester and is taught by Megan List, YSU assistant professor of Teacher Education. The course focuses on the history of LGBTQ issues and their portrayal in popular culture, i.e. film, music and books.
"The students have diligently worked and have produced some really interesting and comprehensive final projects," List said.
Among the projects:
- An interpretive dance based on the experience of losing a family member to AIDS. The project included a survey about gender and sexuality, which inspired the choreography and tone for the dance piece.
- A video presentation that centers on LGBTQ history from the late 1800s. It features significant event from each decade pertaining to LGBTQ rights.
- A series of history boxes, each containing a different LGBT+ activist or a famous member of the LGBT+ community. Each side of the boxes have different facts, stories and works from each person being showcased.
- A Pride flag painted on a canvas. In the stripes of the flag is a timeline of significant LGBT+ events over history, showing that, while much work remains, much progress has been made.
- A timeline of important events and pop culture milestones in American LGBT history, starting in 1969 with the Stonewall riots, an event considered by many to be the start of the LGBT rights revolution.

Shutouts do not happen often in college football.
This season, there have been 11 shutouts in games featuring two FBS teams. Only one of those shutouts has occurred in a Pac-12 game.
For Arizona State, shutouts have been very rare. Only twice since their famed 19-0 whitewashing of then-top-ranked Nebraska back in 1996 have the Sun Devils kept their opponents completely off the scoreboard.
That's why senior linebacker Brandon Magee's comments Tuesday were so interesting.
"Going out to Colorado, we want to pitch a shutout and make a point on TV," he said.
The senior co-captain and his 4-1 Sun Devils take on the Colorado Buffaloes at Folsom Field in Boulder Thursday.
Magee also made it clear that the defense's desire is in no way a dismissal of Colorado's ability.
"This is a huge game, we're not overlooking anybody, we've got to go in there with a high intensity," he said. "They've got a sold-out crowd, a black-out game, ESPN Thursday Night — everybody's going to be watching. We've got to come out there and do ASU football."
The Buffaloes have had trouble scoring this season, but haven't been shut out in a game since 2010, when they were still a member of the Big 12 Conference. With a date against 2nd-ranked Oregon looming next Thursday, many consider a nationally-televised game against the 1-4 Buffs to be a "trap game." Magee isn't one of those people.
"It would be a trap game if a team was overlooking them, but we're not overlooking anybody," he said. "Especially Colorado. We know they have weapons and we know they're going to be intense so I don't feel it's a trap game."

G. Nancy is an exclusive kid's organic cotton fashion label created by Sydney-based, New Zealand native Georgia Nancy Holmes.
She decided to found the brand upon realizing that children's labels across Australia and New Zealand weren't giving the quality of children's PJs and nighties the attention it deserved. Georgia created a brand that designs sleepwear made from organic cotton, ethical water based ink, and high quality dye. She began designing kid's PJs that were of a high quality and able to last the test of time, thus the G. Nancy label took off and ever since has been creating sought after collections of high quality nightwear for children.All of their clothing is ethically made in Australia from organic cotton.
All of G. Nancy's pieces are ethically made using organic cotton, printed with the softest water-based inks, and coloured with top quality dye. Our sleepwear is designed to be cosy and snug and allow kids to lounge around comfortably.
Our range includes:
All of our products are of the highest quality as we believe in keeping your kids cosy in organic Australian-knitted cotton.

For various reasons we have postponed our departure to summer 2016 so in the meantime I am talking to other bloggers who travel and sail for additional perspective and advice. I decided to share those conversations with you! The first one is Justin Jones (http://justinwashere.com/).
Thanks for reading!
~ Niccolea
(The following was slightly edited for length and relative content from a message conversation)
Niccolea M Nance: I am super curious about how you got into being a travel writer.
Justin Jones: Aha well… I was a traveler first, I guess and when I was in college, I studied English Lit and I've always been really into writing – words are really important to me. etymology, etc. So I started writing for the uni paper – I had a column about whatever social issues and such and I wrote a few pieces about my travels and how backpacking across Europe one summer was really inspiring to me, as a writer, as a human and after college, I was looking for "real jobs" but couldn't find anything, and then I applied for an internship at a small travel magazine. It was a perfect fit – they were all about study abroad and inspiring young people to travel.
So after a couple months of interning, writing, etc. The editor quit, and I started taking over his responsibilities little by little. The next thing I knew, I had weaseled my way into the position of managing editor! So I worked for them for a couple years before the funding fell out, and then I went on my own, blogging full time, traveling full time, and making a little money off it all. That was like 6 years ago.
NN: I've been looking at full time bloggers. It really intrigues me. Most seem to take a few years to get to full time though. How has it been for you?
JJ: It's been a long grind, and I'm mostly completely poor, but I've learned to turn this "art" that I love into a sort of business that keeps me alive. and things are slowly growing and I've amassed a small following and hopefully this path leads somewhere great.
NN: Well really for me just being able to travel (and eat and have a place to sleep) would be enough… that is being rich in my world even more than what is in my bank account as a whole
JJ: yeah, it takes a lot of time and a lot of work – you can't just write a blog and wait for it to take off. That's people's first mistake every time. It's all about treating it like a business.
NN: I'm trying to figure all this out on the fly with ZERO dollars seed money because I was a live in nanny for room and board for friends the two years and then out of work for almost a year. It's a big challenge. I'm figuring that we won't really have all our following until we are out on the water and have done at least the first leg of the journey and then each stop will get more I'm sure.
We're working on getting there with thinking of this as a business. We are going to get legal non-profit status as a global project. This is all a work in progress and we are learning EVERYTHING as we go. It's cool though.
JJ: Yeah, that's all part of the fun. If I were going to offer some advice, I'd say 2 things:
First – Buy the domain – it costs like 10 bucks from Go Daddy (Google for a coupon!) and set up a re-direct for your blog site – I think you can do that pretty easily and Go Daddy can help. Then you have an easy site to direct people to and you look more professional.
Second – Start posting once a week. People love consistency – and so does Google and so do potential advertisers and possible sponsors even if there is nothing going on regarding the boat, talk about your life, and the struggles leading up to the journey – be as personal as possible.
NN: Thanks for all the info!
JJ: Best of luck and let me know if you have any other questions / want some input. I'm happy to help when I have time.
THANKS SO MUCH to Justin for his time and info! Be sure to check out his website http://justinwashere.com and let him know Emuna Endeavor sent you! :-)

A lightweight aluminum alloy body and sealed bearing keep things moving smoothly.
A note on compatibility: Shimano SH-51 cleats will work, but the recommended cleat for best performance is the Wellgo WPD-98A (included).

Loewe presented its stylishly minimalist BluTech Vision Blu-ray player at IFA 2007.
The German firm simply described Blu-ray technology as "the successor to DVD" (although the HD DVD Group might have something to say about that statement).
Loewe BluTech Vision offers Full HD with a resolution of up to 1920 x 1080 pixels and the cinema quality 24 fps, other info, such as whether it is a Blu-ray 2.0 profile player was not revealed.
The BluTech Vision does support HD audio formats such as Dolby True HD and dts-HD, which it provides in 7.1 format via the digital out port. It also features a decoder, to enable analog playback of 5.1 Dolby Digital sound.
The BluTech Vision is backwards-compatible with ordinary DVD films and audio CDs and can work fully with Loewe's system integration.
The "elegant" Loewe BluTech Vision is only six centimetres thick and boasts metal housing available in Chrome Silver and Anthracite, it was designed by Phoenix Design of Stuttgart and is available at specialist retailers from October 2007, pricing not disclosed.

"Ridicule is nothing to be scared of" - Adam Ant
I could blame Adam Ant. It was 1981, I was living in a small town in Delaware with one record store. MTV (the one that played music videos) was just on the horizon. Not my horizon, however. But somehow, somewhere, between me and the fog of Eddie Rabbit, Olivia Newton-John and Bertie Higgins singles, there was music out there that was waiting for me to hear. I found a clearing and through it, Adam and his Ants (they weren't his for long...soon they bailed on him for what they thought were greener pastures with Bow Wow Wow) were telling me that "ridicule was nothing to be scared of".
The "ridicule" they spoke of and weren't afraid of, of course, referred to the way they looked and the way they sounded. Did I realize that at the time? Of course I didn't. All I knew is that I loved what I was seeing and what I was hearing. Did I get made fun of for liking different music in a small town? Yep, but ridicule was nothing to be scared of.
It's a lesson I've learned well...I'm a 40 year old male and the biggest Duran Duran aficionado out there. I lived through the years 99.9 percent of their fans were girls, through the lean years (can you name any tracks off of the Liberty album?) and right up to today.
If you've read this far, thanks...welcome again to Musicule. I think you'll be in for a treat in the form of a musical journey. I have 10,000 songs in my iTunes library and one way or another I will write about some of the songs, the artists who recorded them and the albums on which they appeared. Some of those 10,000 songs are great and some of them, are, uh, not so great...but behind each of them is a story. I can't guarantee all of the stories are worth telling, so I'll try to save the good ones for this blog.

Which schools?
SchoolLinks is open for primary and secondary schools.
Schools in the south that are somehow connected to the VVOB programme in our partner countries, or who are situated in the near surroundings of our operations, can apply for SchoolLinks. The VVOB partner countries are Ecuador, Surinam, Zambia, DRCongo, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, South Africa, Vietnam and Cambodia.
In order to provide a qualitative support, the programme is in each country only open to a limited number of schools.
Due to capacity issues, we are not able to find a counterpart in Flanders for every interested school in the south. Check your possibilities on 'Schools looking for a partner school'.
Other key elements are the involvement and support of the school board, the capacities and enthusiasm of the teacher team, motivation and realistic expectancies, the commitment to communicate frequently and access to e-mail and internet.

5 Easy-To-Make Recipes The Whole Family Will Love
August 13 2018
Spark your kids' curiosity in making healthy choices by teaching them to cook recipes like these, each of which can easily be made at
*Recipe appears in Healing Bone Broth Recipes by Sharon and Reb Brown, co-founders of Bonafide Provisions
This sweet, salty and savory stuffing will be sure to satisfy that Thanksgiving craving!
Serves 6-8
Dice the onion, garlic and celery. Rinse and peel the sweet potatoes and dice into very small cubes. Chop up the mushrooms and set aside. Add butter and cook up the veggies on medium heat in a pan. Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the veggies start browning or become translucent. In a separate pan, brown the sausage, breaking it into small pieces as you cook. Combine the sausage, veggie mix, herbs, poultry seasoning, mushrooms and broth, and cook down for a few minutes. Add salt and pepper. Put the mixture in a glass baking dish and bake at 350°F (180°C) for roughly an hour, stirring at about the halfway point. The stuffing will be done when the potatoes mash up slightly when stirred.

In the digital society in which we live, email is becoming increasingly more important. The average office-based worker sends more than 40 emails every day, and that is not even including email marketing that is sent out to a company mailing list. However, despite sending so many electronic communications, most people never give a second thought to how they sign off these messages. Neglecting email signatures is a huge missed opportunity, as they can be used to provide additional information and marketing.
Let's take a look at some easy tips for creating the perfect email signature.
Think About Branding
Consistent branding is a big part of email marketing and internet marketing in general. Including your branding right there in your signature is a nice touch, especially if you use a bit of color. The best option is to choose one or two colors from your branding and use them in conjunction with black text. The color contrast will draw attention to your contact information and branding at the foot of the email. Many businesses also include a small copy of the company logo with their name and contact information.
Don't Forget Design Hierarchy
You will likely have quite a bit of information in your signature if you are using it as an email marketing opportunity. In most cases, there will be a name, job title, email address, website, address and at least one phone number. That is a fair amount of information, and you will want to make sure that it is easy for the reader to digest it. That is when design hierarchy comes into play as it draws the eye to what should be read first. In the case of an email signature, that is likely to be your name, so use a larger font to attract attention. It is also a good idea to use colors and bold font to highlight anything of importance.
Add a Call to Action
Every interaction with customers should be an opportunity to create a lead. Make every email an opportunity for email marketing by including a call to action in your signature. You will want to follow a few essential rules when using a call to action in your email signature:
- Update it regularly, especially if you email the same people often.
- Keep your CTA simple
- Don't be pushy! Think post-script, not sales pitch.
- Be in agreement with the tone of your email.
Include Social Media Icons
Social media is crucial to branding, and email marketing can be an opportunity to build your following. Add links to social media profiles in your signature using icons and help drive traffic to those platforms. Just be sure that you are maintaining the profiles you are linking to and populating them with high-quality content.

Obese women at greater risk of repeat miscarriages
Obese women run a greater risk of repeat miscarriages and should be warned to lose weight before they try and become pregnant again, according to a new study.
Researchers at St Mary's Hospital in London found that obese women who had suffered one miscarriage had a significantly increased risk of a further miscarriage compared to those who were of a normal weight.
The 11-year study investigated the effect of body mass index (BMI) on unexplained recurrent miscarriages. The women had their BMI measured and were placed into one of four categories: underweight; normal; overweight; and obese.

Confusion over minimum cash on hand for entry into Thailand
Posted on 9 January 2018 - 04:31pm

GEORGE TOWN: Many Malaysians entering Thailand are puzzled over having to bring in a minimum of RM1,000 at the various entry and exit points between the two neighbouring countries.
That theSun spoke to were curious over such a ruling which had apparently taken place over a decade ago but not widely highlighted until recently when two Malaysians were denied entry due to the insufficient amount a few months ago.
One of them was Kang Poay Sim, 32, who related to theSun that she did not know anything about it although she frequently travels to southern Thailand's biggest city - Haadyai.
For Kang, it was ridiculous to have a certain amount of Baht or ringgit to enter the border point.
"We will only bringing in a few hundred for one or two days or just a day trip," she stressed.
Mirroring her was journalist Imran Ismail who pointed out that he was taken aback when he came to know of such a ruling despite frequently travelling over the border.
He described this ruling as something uncalled for but noted foreigners would still need to abide by such an order when they visit another country
Kenneth Lee, 33, a frequent traveller who drives back to Chumpon monthly, said it was the norm for foreigners entering into Thailand to have a certain amount of money when they were randomly checked.
He said many travellers do not know about this ruling, and start to panic when subjected to random checks by Immigration personnel.
It was reported in theSun that visitors must have a minimum cash amount when entering or risk being turned back.
Under the stipulated ruling, Malaysians need to have at least 10,000 Thai Baht (RM1,240) if they want to legally enter Thailand without any hitch.
Also, many travel agency vans plying the route from Penang to popular tourist areas in Haadyai, are aware of it but merely told theSun that everything went smoothly.
A local van driver said that normally everything was alright when fetching locals and Thai nationals from Malaysia to Thailand or vice-versa.
Bukit Kayu Hitam assemblyman Datuk Zaini Japar, when contacted, said he did not receive any grouses or complaints with regards to the ruling.

I want to share a wonderful book with you. STRONG and KIND: And Other Important Character Traits Your Child Needs to Succeed by Korie Robertson with Chrys Howard. With a few stories and wisdom from Willie Robertson. You may know this family; from their hit TV show Duck Dynasty.
I have watched the show many times and seen the family values the family has. This book STRONG and KIND tells you more about how respect, morals, and good character traits are need in this world we are living in. The book starts off with a question. What are two important character traits that you want to see in your children? For Kori Robertson, those two traits are STRONG and KIND. This book is encouraging and motivating.
[tweetthis twitter_handles="@LifeofCreed @BossHogsWife" display_mode="box"]What are 2 character traits that you want to see in your children? #STRONGANDKIND[/tweetthis]
This book is relatable and an easy read. It is a mother, her mother, and her husband sharing how stories about how it is important for people to want to teach their kids to show respect to others, have good character traits that will help to make their community, heck, even the world a better place. This is not the cookie-cutter parenting book, but some self-help guru or parenting know-it-all. It is a book by a mother, just like you and I. She doesn't try to push a right way of parenting, she is simply sharing how she and her family parent. What they expect of their children and those around them.
The book is written in three parts: The Importance of Good Character, Identifying the Character Traits You Want to See in Your Children, and How to Parent Kids of Character. She talks about different character traits; strong, kind, self-controlled, honest, compassionate, patient, joyful, loyal, and humble. I know I want my daughter to continue to grow up to the kind, strong, and loyal person she is now as a child. Kori Robertson picked two character traits, but I find it hard to pick just two. But to answer her question, the two important character traits I want to see in my child is strong and joyful. Of course I like to see some of all the character traits displayed in my daughter at some point in time.

Fast Facts
The vital importance of water to Botswana is reflected in the fact that the local monetary currency is called Pula and Thebe, which in Setswana means 'rain' and 'drops'. In this country of continual drought, rain and wealth are considered to be one and the same.
Simply the best safari place on earth
With unspoiled wildernesses and a promise of adventure, Botswana is one of the last remaining safari destinations in Africa where you can still experience nature as the early explorers did. With a policy of low impact tourism and high value conservation programs Botswana remains as pristine an environment as it was hundreds of years ago.
Small, intimate luxury lodges and camps offer the highest standards of hospitality whether it be in the Okavango Delta, Kalahari Salt Pans, Chobe National Park, Savuti & Linyanti swamps, Tuli Block or the Central Kalahari area. Each area has its own unique beauty and the lodges contained therein have been expertly designed to take advantage of the surrounding environment and provide truly incredible safari experiences. Africa's best rangers live out in Botswana's bush – surrounded by Africa's highest concentrations and varieties of wildlife -which in itself speaks volumes about the quality of a safari in Botswana.
We have spent an unfair amount of time exploring all Botswana's secret hideaways and have put together some tour and safari ideas for you to help you understand how to combine this amazing country (read more about the lodges, or ENQUIRE with one of our consultants who have been there themselves!)

Most famous of all Botswana's safari regions is undoubtedly the Okavango Delta – often referred to as the best safari destination in the world. A veritable Garden of Eden, the Okavango teems with life of every shape and size. A large variety of activities are on offer from fascinating game drives and walks to mokoro (canoe) excursions and heli-flips over the Delta. The safari experience here is augmented by the high quality of the lodges within the Delta. The emphasis here is on a first class, intimate safari experience. Small luxury boutique lodges and camps blend seamlessly into their environment. The standards of service and accommodation in the Okavango Delta set the standards by which the rest of the African safari lodges follow.
The Chobe National Park is a beautiful area dominated by the meandering Chobe River, a huge population of elephant and a large amount of predators. The Chobe is Africa's elephant capital. Chobe's close proximity to the Okavango Delta, Savuti & Linyanti and Victoria Falls make this an excellent combination destination. As well as conventional game viewing activities, the Chobe offers superb riverboat safari cruises, allowing guests to view the game from a completely different perspective. The Chobe's sunset riverboat cruises are very often one of the highlights of any Botswana stay.
The Savuti and Linyanti Regions also offer the visitor a wide variety of unique game viewing experiences. Less restricted than some of the National Parks, guests can enjoy exciting night drives here- often the best time to view the animals – and thrilling walking safaris. The Savuti & Linyanti is notable for two reasons, namely the regularity of its Wild Dog sightings and the great Zebra Migrations that move between these two vast regions throughout the year.
The richness and variety of the Botswana "experience" is reflected in the two Kalahari Regions that offer a completely different perspective from the Okavango Delta and Chobe regions. The Central Kalahari Game Reserve, the biggest in the world, is an untouched wilderness area offering superb interaction with the local Bushmen as well as incredible game viewing opportunities. In fact, the scene here after the rains is said to be comparable of the great migrations of East Africa.
The Kalahari Salt Pans Region offers an entirely different experience in complete contrast to the rest of the main tourist regions. Your experience here will be more about witnessing the majestic beauty of this arid yet beautiful part of the country. You will spend your time here whizzing across the pans on quad bikes, discovering ancient archeological sites, learning about the Bushmen's way of live that has remained unchanged for centuries, star-gazing, taking in majestic sunsets and refreshing the soul with an un-paralleled wilderness experience.
In conclusion, Botswana offers an incredible overall experience for the wildlife enthusiast and for those looking to experience Africa at its very best. Remote and diverse wilderness regions, beautiful scenery, amazing game viewing, superb accommodation with top standards of service and excellent opportunities for cultural interaction - Botswana has it all, so ENQUIRE with one of our experienced Travel Consultants (who have firsthand knowledge of all Botswana's attractions) and come explore!

Insider tips
English is the official language of Botswana, but many people still speak Setswana; the language of the Tswana people who lend their name to the country. All guided activities are usually conducted in English.
There are no fences in Botswana- the game here move freely between game reserves.
All visitors entering Botswana must hold a passport valid for at least six months.
Seswaai is a dish unique to Botswana and consists of heavily salted mashed up meat - give it a try!
Botswana is easily accessible from Johannesburg, Windhoek and Victoria Falls.
Try mixing up different camps and environments so you can experience a full variety of experiences.
Botswana's top attractions consist of: The Okavango Delta and Moremi Game Reserve with its mokoro rides and top game viewing; The Chobe region for its incredible elephant population; The Kalahari Salt Pans for its vast unspoiled landscapes and exploring opportunities and the Central Kalahari for its Kalahari lions and open plains.
These phrases might come in handy when conversing with the local people: Hello Sir/Madam - Dumela Rra / Mma, How are you - O Kae?, I am fine - Ke Teng, Thank you - Ke Itumetse.
When to travel
Botswana is a great destination anytime of the year. Be it midwinter or midsummer, visitors can generally count on sunny clear blue skies with very few consistently cloudy days.
There are really only two seasons: summer, from October to April and winter, from May to September.
Rainfall here is between December and February, however long dry spells can still occur during this time.
Rain in Botswana arrives in the form of short, sharp thunderstorms closely followed by warm, sunny skies.
Getting there
Botswana is easily accessible to the visitor by air using two main airports, namely Maun and Kasane. Most travellers begin their Botswana adventures from Johannesburg in South Africa.
Both Maun and Kasane are accessible on daily services on Air Botswana from Johannesburg, with Maun being the natural gateway to the Okavango Delta Region, the Central Kalahari and the Kalahari Salt Pans Region.
Kasane can also be accessed by road from the Victoria Falls Region to the North, making it a natural entry point for those wishing to combine the Falls and Chobe in Northern Botswana.
Within Botswana, by far the easiest way of travelling between camps and lodges is on scheduled air charters, which can all be organised for you by the team here at Perfect Africa.

So, my current project is quite a challenging one
I'm currently working with The Code, a non profit organisation who are working to protect children around the world from Child Sex Tourism, on several technology and learning projects.
One of these projects is a training piece for Travellers and Tourists that we plan to add to our website later in the year.
We are currently pulling together a script for an e-learning module for travellers which, we hope will seek to educate them about the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC), the causes and consequences, and be a responsible traveller whilst they are on vacation.
As a responsible traveller we would ask them to observe and take action if they any instances of child sex tourism whilst in their destination country as well as obviously not getting involved themselves.
Our desired behavioural change from this module would be that the person would be more likely to report an issue to the authorities if they observed it in the destination country. Additionally, we hope that the information we give them may also reduce the chance of them getting involved.
We've also identified several questions that we'd ideally like to answer with this training initiative
- How do we target training to this audience that raises their awareness of child sex tourism in an engaging way?
- What idea or theme could be incorporated into the design of the training that encourages people to repeat/discuss/share the training with others?
- How do we focus the training to minimise the training time required without diluting the message?
- How do we encourage people to share/socialise/discuss the training, and The Code's work with others (giving it the viral factor)?
- What can we do to maximise the chance that this training stands the best chance of changing the user's behaviour/attitude?
We're currently gathering together the material we'd like to cover in the module and we've decided that it needs to be short, sharp, and focused.
However, we are still debating the best approach to get people talking about this issue and signing up for our training voluntarily given the sensitivity of the subject.
I'll post more updates on the project as we go, but if anyone has any approaches that we could use to make this training as engaging as possible please leave a comment.
Thanks for reading...

NICE summary of Cochrane review conclusions
Evidence shows that mechanical bowel preparation is not effective for improving outcomes in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery and should not be used routinely. It should be reserved for procedures in which intraoperative colonoscopy might be performed or close visualisation of the bowel mucosa is needed.
Stopping or reducing the routine use of mechanical bowel preparation in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery is likely to lead to improved quality of patient care, improved patient experience and productivity savings. Mechanical bowel preparation should still be used at the surgeon's discretion during procedures to identify pathology or when intraoperative colonoscopy might be performed.
The 'Implications for practice' section of the Cochrane review stated:
'Prophylactic mechanical bowel preparation prior to colonic surgery has not been proven to be valuable for patients. This review suggested that in cases of well-defined location and size of the lesion, the surgeon and his patient are free to choose. Bowel cleansing should be considered when a surgeon needs to identify pathology - for example, a small tumour - or when an intra-operative colonoscopy might be performed.'
