Strongyloides is a genus of parasitic nematodes that infect a wide variety of vertebrates (mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles); two species (S. stercoralis and S. fuelleborni) infect humans (Speare, 1989). Some 50 million individuals are infected with Strongyloides spp. worldwide (Grove, 1989). For most individuals there are often no overt signs of infection. However, in individuals that are immunocompromised the infection can disseminate throughout the body and is fatal in the absence of anti-Strongyloides therapy. S. ratti has been used for some years as a model organism for investigating the biology of nematode parasitic infections (Viney, 1999).
Strongyloides spp. have an unusual and complex life cycle involving both free-living and parasitic phases (Figure 20.1).
Parasitic adult females dwell in the gut of the host (which in the case of S. ratti, as its name implies, is the rat). Here they burrow into the intestinal mucosa and reproduce by mitotic parthenogenesis (Viney, 1994), passing eggs via the feces into the external environment. These eggs can either moult through two larval stages into infective third-stage larvae (iL3s) or through four larval stages into free-living adult females and males (Figure 20.1). These adults mate by conventional sexual reproduction and produce progeny which (as above) can develop into iL3s (Viney et al., 1993; Harvey et al., 2000). Infective L3s infect new hosts by skin penetration. Experimental genetic studies found that reproduction of the parasitic females of S. ratti is functionally mitotic (Viney, 1994), and so the progeny of the parasitic female are genetically identical to each other and to their mother. Anecdotal observations had noted a large difference in the lifespan potential of the adult free-living and parasitic female morphs: approximately one week and one year, respectively (Viney, 1994; Gemill et al., 1997).

Put it in context
This guide was last updated in 2009
Having pieced together your ancestor's tale, it is time to put it in context.
By looking into migration and travel patterns you might discover how typical your ancestor's experience was, or whether their movements were unusual. Many websites that contain migration data will also contain background information, and www.ellisisland.org and www.movinghere.org.uk are particularly popular among genealogists.
As for the voyage itself, background reading and online research may enable you to track down witness accounts of the voyages and conditions on board. You might discover how long onward travel might have taken, the reception your ancestors were likely to have received and even find a picture of their boat.

Update from Nifas Silk (Mekane Yesus), April 2017
April 10, 2017
Dear Pastors Amanda and Michael and Congregation of Holy Trinity,
We extend our warm greetings to you in the wonderful name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
You are in our prayers and discussion points and we always thank the Lord for your prayers and support as well. It was with enthusiasm and great expectations we started our services and the children and youth services were going very well. Let me kindly indicate the activities below.
First Report (November 2016 – February 2017)
As usual the Christmas eve and Sunday services for children went very well. The youth in particular were organized in 4 groups of choir and were participating and presenting their music every month. A one day workshop for youth was also conducted on growing in faith.
A short drama entitled "There was no place for baby Jesus except the manger" was presented. We see two pictures of the youth in front of the manger singing.
The next big activity was training of Sunday school teachers. This was necessary as few Sunday school teachers (youth) were leaving the congregation for colleges and replacement was necessary. Of course some new recruits' adult members were also included in the training. This training was also conducted in the congregation by inviting an instructor and provision of lunch and refreshments. You can see pictures 3,4 and 5 attached.
In His Service,
Telahun Teka Wolde (MD, MPH)
Update from Nifas Silk (Mekane Yesus), September 2016
Dear Pastors Amanda and Michael, and Congregation of Holy Trinity
We extend our warm greetings to you in the wonderful name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
It was a lovely Saturday July 30th service we as a family (Betelhem, Deborah, Mary and myself) attended at Holy Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church. We were pleased to greet the congregation and extend the greetings of Nifas Silk Mekane Yesus Congregation of Ethiopian Evangelical Church of Mekane Yesus as well. We were delighted to be part of the family of our both churches. It was also noted in your church bulletin that you remember Nifas Silk congregation in your list of prayers for which we are grateful. God bless you indeed. We also enjoyed the company and your hospitality. We are also very grateful for the delicious dinner you kindly offered at the restaurant nearby. We hope to visit you once again if God willing next year.
3rd Quarter Report (May-June-July)
This period is rainy season in Ethiopia and schools are closed and we take this opportunity to give refreshing trainings to Sunday school teachers. This was an opportunity to transfer creative skill and pedagogical for old and new group of teachers. Some of the instructors are university students who com for vacation and are included in the group to assist during the vacation.
It was also customary to give rainy season bible courses for all age groups of children. This time it was organized for three consecutive full days. The participation by all age groups of children was very good and their respective teachers were also present to get more insight. At the end of the session, there was also a concluding story telling session with simulation and a presentation by a teacher.
Please see the pictures attached.

Update from Nifas Silk, May 2016
Dear Pastors Amanda and Michael, and Congregation of Holy Trinity,
We extend our greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It was interesting to note that the children and youth ministry is going very well. There is a plan to train more families to be engaged in teaching children as the number of children joining Sunday school is increasing. The numbers of children are close to the number of communicant members of our congregation i.e close to 200. We trust the Lord give us wisdom and time to address all these children and support them grow in the Lord.
In February, March, and April 2016, the main event has been celebrating Easter. Actually Ethiopian Easter took place on First of May. Good Friday was on 29th of April. The Easter eve was celebrated with candles, singing by families and youth group. As usual on Easter Sunday over thirty thousand evangelical churches were in the stadium to proclaim the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The city mayor, government representatives and evangelical churches leaders and invited Ethiopian from diaspora attended the festivity. This time the evangelical Christians prayed for the country for rain in particular as drought was looming in some parts of the country.
The Sunday school children and their teachers had a day long time of playing and fellowshipping by travelling 45 km from Addis Ababa to Bishoftu. Bishoftu has seven lakes and the children spent near one of the lakes (Babogaya) and later on visited an art gallery. Please see the pictures and hope to show the glimpse of the activities.

History of our Relationship with Nifas Silk and First Lutheran, Kirkland, Illinois
The North American Lutheran Church has a special relationship with the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus (EECMY). In February 2011, Pastor Mandy was able to be part of an NALC delegation that attended the big International Theological Confefence in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. Judi Reeder came along and was Pastor Mandy's roommate. It was so inspirational that words cannot begin to describe it, although Pastor Mandy tried to put the experience into words in her presentation when she returned to Holy Trinity. Indy Kidanewald, the group's tour guide and shepherd, pointed out to the group the square where Christians were shot by the Communists for their faith. This happened every Tuesday for years and years under the Communist regime. But in spite of the persecution, the Ethiopian Lutheran Church is today the largest Lutheran Church in Africa.
Between 2011 and 2012, the women of Holy Trinity worked very hard, under the leadership of Heidi Simmons, to make many, many "Little Dresses for Africa." When they were completed, the women of Holy Trinity had a "fashion show" of the dresses they had made, using their children as models:
In 2012, Pastor Mandy returned to Ethiopia, and was able to hand-deliver the little dresses Heidi Simmons and so many of the women of our congregation had sewn. She accompanied Pastor Carl Rasmussen of First Lutheran Church Kirkland Illinois to Nifas Silk, a Mekane Yesus congregation in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. Holy Trinity gave "little dresses" to the women and children of Nifas Silk from Holy Trinity, Abington, and Pastor Rasmussen brought them a Communion Set from First Lutheran, Kirkland, Illinois. First Lutheran could not afford to give Nifas Silk any financial gifts, but they wanted to be in a relationship with a global partner; Holy Trinity could afford to give annual financial gifts, and did not mind at all sharing Nifas Silk with First Lutheran, Kirkland. Holy Trinity had been looking for a Sister Congregation in Africa and found one in Nifas Silk. We were delighted when their Council President came to visit us at Holy Trinity, here in the States. (And He has been to the States several times since 2012.)
The following YouTube video is part of Pastor Mandy's presentation:
Although it was not until Mid-December of 2012 before the Mekane Yesus denomination gave the official OK to this relationship between the three congregations, all three of us have been praying for each other each week in the Prayer of the Church since April 2012.

This is not a post, its a question. Does that make the question the subject?
What is it? Someone asks, when they see a work of art.
I like what you've done, but don't feels strongly about the subject.
I haven't given much thought to this, because I thought the question had been abandoned long ago. But having recently heard this raised–the question about the subject, it's been troubling me. Most of my work has no subject, not one that I think about. But some do. And then, there's conceptual art–which I haven't given much thought to in relation to my own. Maybe I should.
Something about the context of the conversation where this came up that troubled me. It had to do with #303 on a recent post, a piece which seems to have a subject–it's figurative. Does that face represent something? I'm sure it does for some. Is that important? I ask, because for me–I have no idea. It's something that emerged as I scrubbed pigment onto a weathered, heavily textured piece of plywood. I saw an image that was like a face. So it was, the face happened. There was already that piece of roofing, and the plastic, and the duct tape at the bottom. Like a wall of an empty lot… I added the oil stick graffiti. And after that photo was taken (and my camera died), three nails, from which I wrapped heavy twine, brushed with black and red paint. To make it three dimensional.
I was following what I found suggested in what was there, what I saw. And that was the first thought I came up with when I asked myself, what the subject of my art was: SEEING. It's about what I see, and what that does to me. How then, does that work into pieces where there's an idea, a conceptual subject, like the one I called, America Agonistes, a piece I made the first weeks of the Ferguson protests. But the concept isn't, and wasn't important to it's making–it was about making something visual that wasn't, that wasn't visual because it was something invisible I was seeing everywhere, but only as something I felt. I made it out of the need to make that feeling physical. I say, "feeling," but there's more than emotion involved–it was how I found myself entangled with the police murders of black men and women alone–where I found myself, a white man in this fucking racist, horrible violent place and time, called America.
I might call it, after Stephen Daedalus, the ineluctable materiality of the visible. In that sense, even those works that suggest connections to ideas, that take on names, titles, are for me–de-conceptualized, in their becoming material. That is–the impulse to make art is like an immaterial tumor eating at me that pleads to be given form, color, shape–to become material. Pinocchio wanting to become, no longer a puppet–an artifice, a semblance of the real, but life materialized.
While I might be guided by an idea, something that one would call a "subject," and what results will bear the imprint of that guidance, it's not to realize the idea, but to shape visible material into something else, something both more, and less, something, that is, disinvested of the idea, even as it bears its imprint–and so not imprisoned by it.
Almost a paradox. Daphne as a nymph, an object defined wholly by Apollo's desire, is freed from his objectification by becoming what appears to be … a thing, an object… a tree. Beyond the grasp of his desire–no longer ever again, a possession. So it is with what I seek to do when I make a work of art.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has postponed the filing date for biennial (every two years) ownership reports from December 1, 2017 to March 2, 2018, giving broadcasters more time to acclimate to a new reporting system.
The Media Bureau said it was doing so of its own volition, rather than in response to a request from the National Association of Broadcasters, which had asked the FCC to suspend the deadline, perhaps indefinitely.
Owners of broadcast stations or parties with attributable interests are required every two years to declare that ownership and interest with the FCC.
The bureau said it was moving the deadline to give the FCC more time to implement a revised electronic version of the requisite reporting forms "to ensure that filers have sufficient time to complete and submit their reports."
"The extension of time we grant today addresses NAB's primary concerns that the rollout of the revised forms … goes smoothly and that broadcasters have sufficient time to familiarize themselves with and test the new forms. Thus, our action today essentially implements NAB's suggestion that we postpone the 2017 biennial filing window to ensure the successful implementation of the revised forms," the bureau said.

Chinese Dream
In 1963, Martin Luther King spoke his legendary words: "I have a dream" and within days it became the dream of millions. Exactly 50 years later, Xi Jinping revealed his slogan: "Zhongguo meng" the "China Dream" (also translated as: Chinese Dream). That was months ago, and millions are still wondering what he meant by it.
Some days ago my family and I craved for shaokao. As it is, we crave for it everyday; without it, we become moody and start trembling. Let me explain this. As you probably know (and you would really disappoint me if you didn't, so don't tell me) Chengdu is well-known for its food. The Sichuan cuisine. I'm not sure why, really. Any flavor the food may have had is lost in the overwhelming and taste-buds numbing amount of lajiao and huajiao (hot red peppers and even more hot pepper grains). And if that isn't enough, whatever taste may have survived is neutralized by endless streams of oil -and if it isn't your day, re-used oil. But there is one local specialty for which you can wake me up at night: shaokao. Top-class Sichuanese street barbecue. Small skewers of meat and veggies and toufu and fish, sprinkled with sufficient oil and herbs. Chengdu style barbecue is on every street corner, every evening. It is always sold from a bicycle-cart-turned-mobile-restaurant, complete with little tables and stools and crates of beer, producing nice nightly hangout terraces enveloped in thick fog of fragrance and carbon monoxide that can be seen from miles away. It's all part of package. The truth is: Chengdu without shaokao is as a panda without black spots.
Anyway, just as for all other Chengdunese, shaokao is our "China Dream". And thus we set off for a stroll to our regular street corner for a good bite. But our man wasn't there. His corner was empty. We looked around the corner but our seller was not to be seen or smelled; nor any of his many competitors whom normally also crowd the streets and sidewalks. Had they all just vanished? What had happened to our dream?
Well, let me not keep you in suspense any longer than needed; this is what happened: Chengdu had managed to attract the Fortune 500 Forum. That was the dream of some Chengdu officials. Chengdu is desperately trying to prove itself, shake off its inferior backward wild-west village reputation and be known around the world as a city that counts. As a recent promo video exclaimed, Chengdu is to be "a landmark which commands the world and is looked upon by the world with respect". (Somethings never change, huh?) Knowing that the Olympics was out of their league and that the World Expo mistakingly ended up in Shanghai, this ambitious village settled for serving the CEOs of the world's 500 most fortunate companies -and their entourage. And serving they did! The 2nd Ring Road, a boulevard circling the inner-city, has been elevated -all around- and it all had to be ready before the Fortune 500 forum. Ugly apartment blocks, leftovers from a period everyone prefers to forget, were given a facelift. But only on the outside, and only on the side visible from the 2nd Ring Road. Schools were closed, factories shut down, flights redirected, roads blocked, streets swept clean and tricycle taxis and street vendors banned. Months of chaos, all for this 4-day forum. And that's when we lost our shaokao seller. Sacrificing a few to serve the higher purpose is a returning phenomena in China's long history. Is that the Chinese Dream?
It amazes me how China's new president Xi Jinping (truth is, he is much more than just the president; he is also the Chairman of the Central Military Commission, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and the husband of China's most famous singer Peng Liyuan -wouldn't you love to see his business card!) got everyone wondering with his stirring phrase "Zhongguo meng". Especially since he forgot to explain it. As it is, China has many dreamers already: those who made it to the top and those who are hoping to make it; and now -just as in the outside world- it has even more dream-interpreters as well. When Martin L King spoke his words, it united millions and got them moving in one direction. Xi's slogan, meant to clarify his direction and get all noses pointing the same way, has achieved the opposite effect and has more the look of a fragmentation bomb (which first appeared in the Ming Dynasty in the 14th century, an interesting fact I'm sure you didn't know yet!).
Around the country, new streets and neighborhoods and even complete cities are popping up. Progress and economic development seem the common denominator of the Chinese dreams. But environmentalists should not complain: local birds are treated with more care than most people. A project in Zhengzhou (Henan) was halted when it became clear that it would harm the eggs of a colony of sand martins, that nested on the site's slopes. As a caring worker explained: "Sand martins are both good to both human beings and the ecosystem. It's worthwhile to make the sacrifice, because to protect them is to protect ourselves". Heart-warming and a dream come true, isn't it? Many are now waiting for the worker to speak up for the residents across the country who are evicted overnight by the same developers-enforced by bribes, brutal bullying and even shameless murder. Was this their dream? What is their dream? Is it Xi's dream?
Just as their imperial predecessors, China's communist leaders communicate in slogans. And their subordinates will integrate it into their speeches, as will the subordinates of the subordinates; often without really understanding it. Each of Mao's slogans introduced its own nightmares -and there were many of them. The vision of Deng Xiaoping, the Great Helmsman's successor, was very encouraging: "To get rich is glorious", until he specified: "Let some people get rich first". As it is, his pragmatism knew no limits and it did turn China unto a new path: "It does not matter if a cat is black or white so long as it catches mice". In recent years, this has been well applied by illegal DVD burners and fake iPhone and baby-milk manufacturers. The well-known slogan -and still often quoted- "Socialism with Chinese characteristics" is also his. Hu Jintao's "harmonious society" became an excuse but nobody knows for what, quite well reflecting this late-president's views.
And now there is the "Chinese Dream". Mr. Xi could hardly do without. Rumor has it that he got this idea from, ironically enough, an American journalist: the NYTimes columnist and writer Thomas Friedman. Although no-one knows for sure what this dream is aiming for, it should surely not be mistaken for the American Dream. Rather than focusing on 'individual' 'rights' of chasing 'happiness', Xi is more likely refering to 'power' and 'influence'; 'respect' and 'superiority', as he was recently quoted, saying that the "greatest Chinese Dream" was "fulfilling the great renaissance of the Chinese race." There is then one similarity: it will never apply to all its citizen. Just ask a Tibetan from Lhasa or an American Indian from any reservation or ask an Uighur from Xinjiang or a colored inner-city dweller from LA: their country's dream can never be theirs.
And while I was wandering the streets on an empty stomach and -with so many others- trying to find the meaning of life without shaokao and the meaning of China's latest slogan, I wondered why no-one had thought of the obvious: ask Xi Jinping. He would know the meaning of his China Dream… or would he?

Progress, progress, progress, but sometimes that dream is falling apart. Even in China.

I just found this blog post of yours.
I came across some advertisements that well, "advertised" the China dream. I posted them on Facebook (you can check them out here: https://www.facebook.com/chinaelevatorstories). I do think it gives us a clue what Xi Jingping has in mind when he's talking about the China dream, but of course, a dream itself is still something very abstract.

Dream come true for peons daughter
Chandigarh, May 6th 2010, Tribune News Service
Sandeep Kaur had grown up seeing her father saluting the sahibs and had thus always aspired to become one herself.
For Sandeep, daughter of a peon employed in Morinda sub-tehsil, the journey to making it to the IAS was tough. But it was her determination that paved the way.
Sandeep, who has secured 138th position at the all-India level, is the eldest of her three siblings and a pillar of support for her father.
Although my father was far from influential, he always dreamt big. He had been an immense source of inspiration. During my childhood, he would cuddle me saying that I was born to fulfil his dreams. He had once told me that he wanted to see me on a position where people would salute me and that became my driving force, said Sandeep.
Sandeep, who is a civil engineer from Panjab Engineering College, had a one-point goal in her life - to join the civil services.

Letters to the editor - March 1
March 1, 2017
Believing borehole story naive
Are we that naive to believe these boreholes are just a science project?
I would like to rebuke Steve Hansen's last two opinion columns on the proposed "scientific boreholes" sited near Nara Visa.
I will agree, the current wording in the contract states there will be no nuclear waste involved in this particular project or at this particular site.
However, if you took the time to attend the meetings regarding this project, you would know that ENERCON reps refuse to give us that same guarantee for the future.
In fact, they continue to use the words "phased" and "adaptive" when referring to the future of these boreholes.
I'm sure the definition of "adaptive" is not lost on Hansen.
It would take hundreds of boreholes to store our country's backlogged nuclear waste. The feasibility of this project rests in the viability of the granite beneath us.
We are one of a few places in the U.S. with the rock formation the Department of Energy is considering for nuclear waste storage. If this test proves the viability, the DOE will work to site a nuclear dump in our back yard.
Hansen may not take that threat seriously, but I do; and so do several hundred other people living in close proximity to this project.
I'm sorry, but I can't put a price on my family, friends, and neighbors.
Do peoples' livelihoods, our children's futures, and the health of our residents cross your mind?
We must look at the intent of the project. The DOE would not drill here if it didn't have reason to believe the rock formation beneath us could be used for nuclear waste disposal.
Stop the madness. Say no to the borehole.
Bart Wyatt
Enercon can't be trusted
Thanks to Steve Hansen for his Feb. 22 opinion piece, "Nuclear waste notions unfounded."
I'm sure Enercon — hired for the borehole drilling as part of the Department of Energy's larger goal of disposing high-level nuclear waste — appreciates the re-print of its talking points and complete lack of objective research.
Hansen states the Quay County Commission withdrew support for the project because of opposition from Nara Visa residents. Hansen should know that opposition to the project extends beyond Nara Visa as three times the population of that town came to voice their opposition to the project at a Feb. 7 meeting. Residents from all over Quay and surrounding counties swelled the attendance that night. As word continues to spread, opposition continues to mount.
My family has owned ranch land near the borehole site for over 100 years and we have many reasons to reject the risk to our future that the borehole represents. But reasons to reject the borehole reach beyond logic and public opposition and into bad faith evidenced by Enercon.
Commissioner Sue Dowell stated her reason for withdrawal of support: "I am very concerned about events I have witnessed from Enercon representatives. ... I am seeing and hearing inconsistencies from Enercon representatives that concern me very much."
The fact that Enercon has failed to produce anything in writing from the DOE stating that no nuclear waste will ever be stored in Quay County tells me that the possibility of high-level nuclear waste being stored near any successful borehole is very real.
I'm not so fully confident that Hansen's 10 reasons to trust Enercon can be trusted.
I wonder how Hansen's opinion would change if the borehole were a bit closer to him. Is Hansen offering his back yard for the "science project"?

Town feels loss of tow truck driver
The recent tragedy that has struck our little community has brought to light something that few of us ever think about.
We have all experienced that moment, when our vehicle has died or failed to turn over. It is always a moment of terror. What do I do now? How much is this going to cost? How am I going to move forward?
For those horrifying moments, we can always rely on the tow truck drivers to bring us to a place where these questions can be answered, no matter where our car has left us.
Those who drive tow trucks are the only ones who truly understand the nature of the job. When one is struck down, the whole community feels the pain and loss.
The vigil held for tow truck driver Bobby Unruh was an intense display of support, not only from the local population but from the larger family of tow companies all over the United States, sending a powerful message: "Move over or slow down. We have families, and we are all family."
Rivalries and competition set aside, the intense support for the family, friends and co-workers of one struck down in the line of duty was enough to bring a stranger to tears.
Maybe, the tragic loss will be the catalyst for change. Surely, anyone who was present to witness the long line of tow trucks flashing their lights and blaring their horns in mourning will be more aware of the danger of the job and, in the future, be more conscious of the brave men and women on the side of the road, pulling another vehicle to safety.
This is written with love and sadness to Bobby's family, friends and co-workers.

Over 120 peer reviewed publications have assessed the use of SIR-Spheres® Y-90 resin microspheres for metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC).
In addition to the studies outlined on previous pages, other RCTs have confirmed the efficacy of SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres when added to first-line chemotherapy for patients with mCRC (with improved Objective Response Rate [ORR] and Time to Progression [TTP]).1,2 One of these studies also showed a significantly increased OS with the addition of SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres to chemotherapy.1
Beyond the first-line use of SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres there are also multiple prospective studies and retrospective analyses which show positive effects of SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres on TTP/PFS (overall and liver) and OS when added as consolidation of first-line chemotherapy (i.e., in patients deemed unresectable 12–26 weeks after first-line chemotherapy),3 when combined with chemotherapy in patients who have already failed at least first-line chemotherapy,4,5 and in heavily pretreated patients who are chemorefractory and have failed standard of care.6-8 Several other single-arm studies investigated SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres as a salvage therapy and demonstrated median survival of approximately 10–12 months, which is an improvement on historical control data.8 As such, ESMO guidelines recommend Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) in this setting.9

When people come to Thailand they naturally arrive with lots of questions that often they think are to silly or to strange to ask, well chances are we have heard them all before so I thought it would be a fun idea to write up some of the strangest and most frequently asked questions that we get about volunteering and about Thailand itself.
These are in no particular order but I tried to bunch similar questions together, I have had to turn this into a two part blog as there were just TOO many questions to answer in one SUPER long blog.
Is Thailand safe? – This is probably one of the most frequently asked questions that we get. I can tell you from my own experiences from living here for a while, that Thailand is safe. There are obviously the same dangers that there are in other countries like traffic and robberies but these are so far and few between. Bangkok is naturally more of a dangerous place than Surin is because it is a big city where there are a lot of people, the more people there are in a place the higher the chances that there will be undesirable people wanting to make a quick buck. Just take sensible precautions like don't flash your cash and you should be fine. I walk around in Surin on my own in the dark all the time and have never had any problems, Surin is safe, just be careful of the traffic, Thai drivers are notoriously mental!!
Fun traffic in Bangkok
What happens if the Police pull me over? – Chances are that during your time in Thailand you will not come into contact with any Police, if you do it will normally be a hello and a quick conversation, many officers are desperate to test out their English skills. If you do get pulled over for any reason just make sure that you explain that you can't speak Thai, call a member of staff and let them talk to the office. Staff are available 24 hours a day for events just like this. Just make sure you don't do anything silly enough to attract Police attention.
Police are normally a lot less intimidating than this I promise you 😀
Do I need a visa? – This should 100% be something you look at before you travel to Thailand. If you fly into any of the airports you will immediately be given a 30 day visa for free, if you travel in by land you get a 15 day visa, the price varies on which checkpoint you travel in from and which country. If you plan to stay in Thailand for longer than 30 days then you need to organise a visa before you travel, this will make your journey less stressful and mean you don't have to travel to Bangkok to extend your visa.
Can I extend my visa? – Yes you can extend your visa whilst being in Thailand. It is something that has to be done in the main immigration office that is about an hours car ride out of Bangkok. A visa extension is normally 2000฿ for 10 days when you are extending from a standard tourist visa. If you have a per arranged visa that you wish to extend this is a similar price but the length of time is at the discretion of the immigration office, if they are having a good day it can be as much as a 30 day extension. It is much cheaper and easier to arrange a visa before you arrive, the one most typically issued is the 60 day visa.
Make sure you know what your visa situation is!!
Can I leave Thailand and come back in? – This all depends on your visa situation, if you have a 60 day visa that is single entry then don't leave Thailand otherwise your visa will be cancelled. You can obviously leave and enter as many times as you like just be careful about visas, also be careful with doing land crossings at the same crossing more than twice in a row. Sometimes they get a bit funny about you just using the border for visa runs so try to vary your locations.
What places can I travel to easily? – From Surin you can travel very easily to Cambodia and then onto Vietnam. You can also head up to Laos pretty easily, just make sure you know what visas you might need for each place and any other information the might need, like a departure date for example.
The beautiful Angkor Wat
Is it safe to travel alone? – Travelling alone is as safe as you make it. I have always traveled alone and have never come up against any sorts of danger or major issues. Just be smart and don't let people take advantage of you. Even if you don't feel it, you need to act confident, the unruly people in the world don't target confident people they target people who look lost and confused; don't be that person.
Is there anywhere I shouldn't travel to or should avoid? – Each country has recommendations about which areas are safe and unsafe to travel to. Take a look at your countries travel abroad website to see where it deems safe to travel. I general all of Thailand is safe to travel but the borders can sometimes be places of occasional conflict between countries, just steer clear of any trouble and you will be fine.
Is public transport safe? – Public transport in Thailand, from the Sky Train in Bangkok to the Tuk Tuks in Surin are all very safe. Tuk Tuks and motorbike taxis might not look in the best condition but as with all things in life, if you don't think it is safe then don't use it. I now that I have complete faith in the public transport in Thailand and I regularly use the Sky Train, taxis, motorbike taxis and Tuk Tuks and I have yet to report any issues, even when me and 6 others fit into one Tuk Tuk!!
One of the most quintessential forms of transport associated with Thailand
Can I take images of Buddha out of the country? – Legally the answer to this question is no. I however took out several, different sized, Buddha images, statues and pictures out of the country and didn't face any issues. You obviously can't take anything from a temple or anything that is a worshiped religious relic but small statues or trinkets shouldn't be an issue. If you declare something at the airport then chances are they will confiscate it, so it is entirely up to you.
Should I buy ivory? Can I take it out of the country? – ivory is a sensitive subject in Thailand, if you get it from a reasonable and ethical source then there isn't an issue, but as with everywhere in the world, not everything is as it appears. I can't voucher for the validity of the ivory in Bangkok but know that the ivory pieces sold at the local silver and elephant villages comes from elephants who's tusks have become problematic to feeding or have be damaged and need cutting. Cutting an elephants tusks does not harm the animal in any way and is often used as a means for handlers to gain extra money as well as improve the welfare of the animal. Just buy responsibly from hat are trust worthy, if you are unsure, check with a member of staff. If you are only taking a small piece of jewelry out of the country then you don't need to have a certificate of authenticity but if you are planning to take large pieces of ivory out of the country then chances are you won't be allowed to.
Ivory is beautiful, but make sure you check if you are buying from a good source
Should I go to any festivals? – Thailand has the largest number of festivals and public holidays of any country in the world, so chances are, when you are travelling or volunteering that you will come across at least one holiday. Holidays are nearly always religious holidays and are very important to Thais. Some holidays have huge festivals that accompany them such as Loy Krathong, the light festival which Chiang Mai is notorious for, or Songkran the celebration of Thai new year with a ginormous water fight, some smaller holidays include various days devoted to gods or spirits that might only be celebrated in local temples. If you are in Thailand for any festivals I would encourage you to participate and get involved in any way you can, they are great cultural experiences but are also normally loads of fun.
Can I use my credit/debit card in Thailand? – You can use cards here in Thailand, we have hundreds of ATM's that accept foreign cards. Make sure that you check with your bank that you are allowed to use your card abroad and that you inform them of the dates of which you will be using it abroad. Chances are if you are using your card that you will get charged by your own bank but also by the ATM. Here ATM's charge 150฿ per transaction for foreign cards so it is better to withdraw larger amounts than smaller ones, charges per bank vary hugely so make sure you inquire as to what these charges might be.
What happens if I loose my card? – If you loose your card you to need to report it to your back as soon as possible and get it blocked. Depending on your length of stay with us you can always have another card posted out to the volunteer accommodation or staff office. If you aren't with us for long enough for that to be an option you can always look to having money transferred to another volunteer or staff members account and then withdraw it from their account; and maybe buy them a beer for their trouble 🙂
What do I do if my card gets blocked? – If your card gets blocked, chances are your bank has done it due to your activity abroad. No matter how many times I tell my bank I am travelling they always block my card at least one time per trip, just call them and answer the security questions they are you and them they will unblock your card, normally with immediate effect as well.
Should I bring travelers cheques? – No. Simple as that. People don't use them in Thailand, I am sure there are places in Bangkok you can use them but you will be there for a weekend which will be filled with volunteer tours and activities. Just don't waste your time organising travelers cheques as you will not use them, especially in Surin; they wouldn't even know what they were!!
Do you tip in Thailand? – Tipping is not expected as it is in the Western world, people's livelihood is not based off them but it is considered polite to leave a tip. If I am at a restaurant then I will normally leave the coin change and only take the notes, my favourite restaurant waits until this equals a meal and then gives me one for free so I guess that isn't really tipping haha When it comes to Tuk Tuks or motorbikes you will have already agreed on a price so tipping is not expected. Taxis in Bangkok would normally expect a foreigner to round up to the nearest 10฿ or so, for example, if you had a taxi fare that was 170฿, you would just pay 200฿. But as with anywhere in the world, it is your own choice.
Does Thailand really have Ladyboys? – Ladyboys are always something volunteers ask me about. Yes Thailand does have Ladyboys, Surin also has a very active Ladyboy community, chances are that when you are here you won't even notice that they are the females they play so well. The Ladyboy friends I have are all beautiful and often more attractive and better dressed than the females I know!
The Ladyboy show we had at Speed for Valentines Day
Can we go to a Ping Pong show? – Ping Pong shows are something that Thailand is notorious for, take a walk down Khao San road on an evening and you will have several touters trying to get you into a cab or a Tuk Tuk to see a ping pong show. I have seen them on a couple of occasions and can say that there is two sides to ping pong shows. The first is the 'wow' factor, when travelers first get to the shows they are amazed at the things that the girls can do and find it incredible and very interesting or disturbing. It is a source of entertainment after all. On the other hand however, if you think about what the girls are having to do then it is extremely degrading, many girls come to Bangkok in the hope to make more money for their families and get sucked into the world of Ping Pong shows which walk hand in hand with human trafficking and prostitution. As much as the bar owner and touters will tell you their girls are happy and free to leave whenever they like, you can never be sure. You might think your one visit to a Ping Pong show won't make a difference to these girls but if everyone thinks that then it does make a difference. It is entirely up to you if you wish to go to a Ping Pong show but just think about the repercussions it has on the girls and every person involved.
Can I drink in Thailand? – The legal drinking age in Thailand is 20 years old, the enforcement of this is often up for debate. I know that I have seen high school students in the bars and club in Surin over the weekend, the security are well aware of their age but as long as they give them drinks and keep out of trouble they tend to get away with. Getting drunk in Thailand is much easier than foreigners think, the heat and humidity mean you get drunk quicker so just make sure you are aware of your surroundings and what you are doing, nobody wants to be having to send you home at midnight do they???
Thailands most famous beer brand; Chang
Can I do drugs in Thailand? – I don't ever agree with drugs in any way and this is very much mirrored by the Thai government. Police are very strict on drugs and can and will arrest you, there is the possibility of imprisonment and even the death sentence. Many police stations set up traps in order to catch both Thais and foreigners, you buy a packet of drugs from someone and then two seconds later you get arrested. It isn't worth it I promise you. Some of the islands like Koh Pangan, Koh Samui and Koh Tao do have several bars and locations where Police allow drug use in order to contain it. It is obviously your choice to get involved in drugs but I personally don't think it is worth the risk of being put in a Thai prison in order to get high; but I'm a square and don't even agree with swearing haha
Can I smoke in Thailand? – Smoking is perfectly within the law in Thailand, there is some contention as to whether it is legal to smoke indoors in places like bars, so make sure you either ask or take notice of where the locals are smoking. Hookah is something that is smoked all over Thailand and is also legal, just make sure you know what you are smoking so that you don't get yourself into a situation that might end badly.
I know this is a pretty long post so I will put up the second half of this FAQ tomorrow 😀

Essay #3: Language Latitudes Outside of the United States
The language/dialect I have chosen to write about is Haitian Creole. This particular kind of Creole is spoken in the beautiful region of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The entire population of Haiti (7 million people) speak Haitian Creole. There about 10 to 12 million people on earth who speak this language. This language is French-based with influences from Portuguese, Spanish, English, Taino and West African Languages. Haitian Creole was first spoken by African slaves and French settlers during the Atlantic slave trade in the French colony of Saint-Domingue which is now known as Haiti. Today, Haitians are the largest creole-speaking community in the world. It is also spoken in the Bahamas, Canada, Cayman Islands, France, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. (Ethnologue).
Because Haitian Creole is a French-based language, over 90% of the Haitian Creole vocabulary is of French origin. They share similar pronunciations and share many lexical items but there are still many differences between the languages. For example, the word for "frequent" in French is fréquent; however, its cognate in Haitian Creole frekan means 'insolent, rude, and impertinent' and usually refers to a person. Using certain terms like this can lead to people being misjudged and misunderstood depending on how they interpret the use of the terms.
Both French and Haitian Creole are official spoken languages in Haiti. Like in most civilizations there is a social class in Haiti. French is mostly spoken by the people in the higher class of the society and people who speak the language of Haitian Creole are considered to be a part of the lower class.
Based on my own knowledge and experiences, the people of Dominican Republic look down on Haitians for many reasons. Haitians are perceived as immigrants in DR who have "invaded' many neighborhoods and have taken over many job opportunities in the nation. For these reasons, Dominicans don't usually tend to get along with Haitians. The way I see it, Haitians are to Dominican Republic just like Mexicans are to the United States of America. Haitians, like Mexicans, traveled to another country seeking great opportunities, employment, hope for their future, to escape poverty in their homeland and basically to help find the resolutions to all of their issues and worries. There are more than 2 million Haitians living in the Dominican Republic as of the year 2010, most of which are undocumented. Some Dominicans have learned to get along and compromise with Haitians with the little Spanish/Haitian Creole they know. They get to work with each other, live next to each other and spend time together -they usually offer Haitians work because Haitians don't really ask for high wages. It's sad to say that there are other Dominicans who treat them as if they were inhuman. I believe that shouldn't be allowed, even if they are considered to be "aliens", everyone should be treated with the same respect.
No matter where you choose to live, you will be judged and categorized based on how you speak, the words you choose to use, how you use them, the way you look, the color of your skin, your clothes, your accent, your quietness, your loudness, ect.
