VOV1 - Bộ trưởng Quốc phòng Thái Lan, Trung tướng Adul Boonthamcharoen, hôm 29/7 đã có cuộc họp khẩn cấp tại Kuala Lumpur với người đồng cấp Malaysia Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin nhằm thảo luận những diễn biến an ninh mới nhất tại khu vực biên giới phía Nam.Cuộc hội đàm diễn ra tại Căn cứ Không quân Subang (Malaysia) với sự tham dự của nhiều tướng lĩnh cấp cao hai nước, bao gồm Tổng Tư lệnh Lực lượng Vũ trang Malaysia Malek Razak Sulaiman và Phó Tham mưu trưởng Lực lượng Vũ trang Thái Lan Nuttapong Praokaev.Tại cuộc gặp, Bộ trưởng Quốc phòng Thái Lan, Trung tướng Adul đã cập nhật tình hình thực địa và các giải pháp ứng phó của Thái Lan, đồng thời khẳng định nước này tiếp tục cam kết thúc đẩy tiến trình hòa bình, đảm bảo an toàn cho dân thường và củng cố niềm tin giữa các bên. Bộ trưởng Quốc phòng hai nước nhất trí thắt chặt hợp tác chiến lược, chia sẻ thông tin tình báo và kiểm soát an ninh biên giới. Phía Thái Lan đánh giá cao vai trò trung gian hòa giải của Malaysia từ năm 2013 đến nay, đồng thời nhấn mạnh hòa bình bền vững chỉ có thể đạt được dựa trên sự chân thành, tin cậy và hành động chung của cả hai quốc gia.Cuộc họp khẩn cấp diễn ra ngay sau khi Thái Lan quyết định tạm hoãn vô thời hạn vòng đàm phán hòa bình với Nhóm ly khai Mặt trận Cách mạng Dân tộc BRN, vốn dự kiến khởi động lại tại Malaysia vào tháng 9 tới sau hơn hai năm đóng băng.Tuyên bố hoãn đàm phán được Trưởng đoàn đàm phán Thái Lan, Giám đốc Cơ quan Tình báo Quốc gia Thanat Suwannanont, đưa ra hôm 28/7. Quyết định này xuất phát từ vụ tấn công quy mô một tuần trước đó (hôm 22/7) tại tỉnh Narathiwat khiến 5 binh sĩ thiệt mạng và 6 dân thường bị thương, buộc chính phủ Thái Lan phải áp đặt thiết quân luật tại 13 huyện thuộc tỉnh này.Theo giới phân tích, vụ tấn công có sự tham gia của nhiều tay súng, buộc lực lượng chức năng Thái Lan phải triển khai chiến dịch truy quét diện rộng. Dù bầu không khí đối thoại gặp khó khăn, các chuyên gia quốc tế nhận định giải pháp quân sự đơn thuần khó thể xử lý tận gốc xung đột kéo dài hơn hai thập kỷ qua tại miền Nam Thái Lan, vốn đã cướp đi sinh mạng của hơn 7.800 người kể từ năm 2004. Việc duy trì kênh hợp tác chiến lược giữa Thái Lan và Malaysia được xem là cần thiết để bảo đảm tiến trình hòa bình không bị gián đoạn./.PV VOV Thái LanCuộc hội đàm diễn ra tại Căn cứ Không quân Subang (Malaysia) hôm 29/7/2026 với sự tham dự của nhiều tướng lĩnh cấp cao hai nước Thái Lan và Malaysia.

Vessbroz have become one of the biggest Iranian success stories in global electronic music. But behind the stages, festivals and billions of online views is a remarkable story of two brothers from Isfahan whose lives were shaped by exile, resilience, family and an enduring connection to Iran. In this conversation, Jian sits down with Armia and Arsham for one of their rare long-form interviews, exploring their childhood in Iran, discovering dance music, the years they were separated between Iran and Malaysia, overcoming racism, navigating fame, and why they've chosen to speak publicly about the ongoing human rights crisis in their homeland. Recorded before this week's executions in Isfahan, the conversation includes the brothers' reflections on the young people who were then on death row and the responsibility they feel to raise awareness internationally. This episode also includes Jian's reflections on Roqe Live 6, the latest developments in Iran, and community announcements for listeners in Toronto.

Hungry Ghost Month runs August 13 through September 10 in 2026, with the fifteenth-day Hungry Ghost Festival falling on August 27. Why do some getai and wayang performances in Singapore and Malaysia leave the entire front row empty?Thursday Thrills explores the Chinese ghost folklore, religious traditions and regional beliefs behind seats reserved for unseen guests. Henrique traces the differences among the seventh lunar month, the Daoist Zhongyuan Festival, Buddhist Yulanpen or Ullambana observances, ancestor remembrance and offerings for wandering spirits. We also examine food, incense, joss paper and documented Ghost Month taboos involving roadside offerings, nighttime swimming, reserved seats and major life events.From Taiwan's water lanterns and Hong Kong's Yu Lan traditions to Singaporean getai, this respectful supernatural folklore journey separates living cultural practice from sensational internet horror - and asks who a performance is really for when its best seats are left empty.

"What a turbulent seven months 2026 has delivered so far." As we say goodbye to July, Gary and Hannah review the latest hot topics in travel and tourism from across South East Asia, China and India, and look ahead to the rest of the year. We begin by breaking down the multi-billion RMB fine imposed by China's anti-trust regulator on Trip.com, the nation's largest OTA, for "monopolistic practices". From China we head to Malaysia, where an unexpected F1 Grand Prix race is raising the tourism temperature. Next to Singapore, where the national carrier, Singapore Airlines, enjoyed record quarterly revenue and thriving passenger demand offset by a stinging 78.5% rise in fuel costs. We look at Cambodia Airlines' order for 20 COMAC aircraft and Thai AirAsia's decision to suspend nine domestic flight routes from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi until October. Will they be reinstated for peak season? Plus, we look at Singapore's upcoming concert tourism season from the perspective of the Indian media, assess the impact of AI on tour guiding - and finish with a humorous story about a jail stay request in the Philippines.

Delivered by Thia Santos from the Church of Divine Mercy Shah Alam in the Archdiocese Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Jeremiah 26: 1-9; Rs psalm 69: 5.8-10.14; Matthew 13: 54-58.CELEBRATION OF FAITH Our meditation today has the theme: Celebration ofFaith. A person who is said to have good faith if he has these three elementsthat are equally substantial: knowledge, celebration and practice or life offaith. The knowledge of faith refers to doctrines, teachings or dogmas. Thecelebration of faith is expressed in act of worships, ministry of sacraments,prayers and devotions. The life of faith is shown in the testimony anddedication of what is believed into the real life. With regards to the celebration of faith, some basicelements that are mostly required to make a celebration happens are like theorder of celebration, times for celebration, norms and regulation, places ofworship and participation of faithful. All these requirements aim to bring allthe faithful together as a community of believers who worship and dedicatetheir faith to the Lord. The institution and regulation of this faithcelebration was already made in the old covenant, when it was started by Mosesand continued to the time of the prophets and priests. In our today's readingfrom the book of the prophet Jeremiah, it is described how Jeremiah stood atthe court of the house of God and delivered God's Word to all religious leadersand God's people. They all gathered there to give thanks, to worship God and tooffer sacrifices. The Prophet had a duty to deliver that message of the Word ofGod. The truth and goodness of the Word of God will determine whether those wholistened to it were the good people of God or vice versa the sinners whoopposed God.                                                                                                                                        The divine law establishes this celebration of faithas the third commandment of God, which is to require faithful to keep theLord's day holy. The Church does not only dedicate Sunday as the holy day ofobligation, but also a number of holidays and feasts. Since it is a commandfrom God to celebrate, then it should be an obligation. The faithful who do notobserve this obligation, they are guilty of violating the commandment of God.In addition there is the practice of devotion by members of the Church, thoughnot an obligation, but it is very useful to strengthen our faith. For exampleprayer of the Rosary and  the singing ofspiritual songs would be very helpful in helping our faith grow. One of the celebrations of faith that is mostlyrecommended to all of us is the celebration of Word of God. This celebration ismade when the Word of God is read, heard, pondered and shared. The celebrationof the word in various places such as our houses, chapel or church with orwithout the eucharistic celebration is an occasion for us to encounter thePerson who has the Word speaking to us in a personal way. The synagogue waswhere the Word of God being celebrated according to Jewish norms. But when Jesuswanted to preach His own Word in His place of origin, people from His ownfamilies and town obviously rejected Him and because of that He did not want toshare them the good news from the loving God. As a result, there was noblessing coming to them. The purpose of celebration of faith is for us toreceive blessings from God for all our needs in life. Let us always be happyand genuine in the celebration of our faith. Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... O Lord Jesus Christ, may our spirit alwaysbe pure in receiving Your Word that will take root and grow in our lives. Gloryto the Father and to the Son ... In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Eva Glenn Robert from the Parish of Saint Augustine Keinarut in the Archdiocese of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. Jeremiah 18: 1-6; Rs psalm 146: 2abc.2d-4.5-6; Matthew 13: 47-53.GOD DETERMINES AT THE END The theme for our meditation today is: God Decides atthe End. We often tend to surrender when the problem that we face never findsits solution. Surrender means to make a retreat and stop to continue to speakor to act. Surrender is not about someone who is hopeless with greatdisappointment and sadness. Those who surrender over something or someone areactually those who still have room for hope, and they are open for solutionsthat may come in their favor such as time, other people, fortune, and  of course God. The most common one is our surrender to God. Forinstance, there was a fight between two persons that never ended. There werealready many efforts to find solution for their problem such as throughfamily's peace talks, religious assistance and trial in the court but they havenot been able to solve their problem. The loser would always force the issue sothat the problem would just remain disturbing. At certain point both partiesbelieved that there was no longer reason to remain in conflict and fight,therefore, they chose to surrender. The last thing still remained was to bringthe problem to God and He would decide or judge for each of them. God'sjudgement will be made after our death, where every person will be judgedaccording to one's behavior in this life on earth. This example illustrates how God determines at the endof our journey of life. Jesus gave us a proper parable to teach us about thisfinal determination, namely the judgement in heaven that ultimately decides whois right and who is wrong. God has such a wise strategy. He does not make bigand final judgement when there is still time for us to change ourselves whilewe are still on earth. God is patient and tolerant so that the trouble makersand the sinful ones still have opportunity to repent before their death. This strategy of course contradicts with the way wehumans normally do, which is the enjoyment for those who win and the sadnessfor those who lose in the world. People commonly perceive that the joy ofvictory is final or the sadness of losing is the end. Yet the truth is that,those wins and loses are just pieces of life event that cannot be consideredfinal of our journey. Our standard of justice is only to fulfill the demands ofthis world, whereas a judgement which is the highest final is indeed thestandard of the Lord, the almighty. It is our true belief that our finaldetermination is from God. According to the prophet Jeremiah, as long as we livein this world, our lives should follow God's determination, like the way thepotter carves things from clay. Through His will and wisdom, God wants to shapeus in our words and actions every day so that we can experience how Hedetermines our lives from one moment to another, from our wake up in themorning until our sleep at night. This is our way of life that leads us to thefinal judgement in heaven. Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... O Lord Jesus Christ, may we always lookforward to the final moment of your judgement over us with our firm faith andlasting hope. Hail Mary, full of grace ... In the name of the Father ...

RUBY WARRIORS: Saving Arth by Jeya Carmichael Jeyacarmichaelauthor.com https://www.amazon.com/RUBY-WARRIORS-Saving-Jeya-Carmichael/dp/B0CNF6XYPX In their quiet suburban neighborhood, three friends stumble upon an antique ruby amulet and are transported to a parallel Earth teetering on the brink of destruction. Arth, a world steeped in myth and legend, holds a desperate secret—the return of merciless Marauders, threatening to plunge the realm into darkness. But Arth has a glimmer of hope in its most unlikely heroes: Aurora, Lizzy, and Lance. Prophesied in the sacred Book as the royal children destined to save Arth, they discover that they are the royal grandchildren of the legendary Sophia, a magical guardian who once protected the realm. As the Ruby Warriors, the children embark upon a perilous quest to fulfill the prophecy and thwart the Marauders’ sinister plans. Their journey takes them through a fantastical world filled with enchanted forests, towering giants, and mythical creatures. Along the way, they must face their deepest fears, including a treacherous forest infested with giant spiders and the foreboding Serpent Mountain. With bravery, wit, and the newfound magic of their amulet, the Ruby Warriors must send the Marauders hurtling back into the depths of space. But the path to victory is fraught with challenges. Will Aurora, Lizzy, and Lance fulfill their destiny and save Arth from certain doom? Join them on this magical journey, where the bonds of friendship are tested, the forces of darkness are confronted, and the legacy of their great ancestor Sophia lives on. About the author Greetings!

Every year, Global Tiger Day reminds us of the urgent need to protect one of Malaysia's most iconic and critically endangered animals, the Malayan tiger. But protecting tigers isn't just about saving a single species, it's about protecting entire forests that are home to countless other plants and animals, many of which we still know surprisingly little about. That's exactly what researchers have discovered in the Al-Sultan Abdullah Royal Tiger Reserve in Pahang. A scientific expedition has uncovered a potentially new species of stream toad, rediscovered a frog not seen in over a century, and documented an extraordinary range of biodiversity that's helping scientists better understand one of Peninsular Malaysia's newest protected landscapes. We find out more from Dr. Ahmad Zafir, Programme Director at The Habitat Foundation and Scientific Expedition Lead for the Al-Sultan Abdullah Royal Tiger Reserve, together with Mohd Abdul Muin Md Akil, Lead Researcher from Universiti Sains Malaysia, whose discoveries during the expedition include the rediscovery of the Robinson's sticky frog and a potentially new species of stream toad.Image Credit: Gunung Aais © Ahmad Amir - The Habitat FoundationSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Calvin Betton, George Bellshaw and James Gray are back with another look at the week in tennis. This week: the doubles fightback starts in Washington, more Masters 1000 withdrawal fallout, the 2028 Olympic schedule is announced, the most epic Davis Cup finish ever, and three new tour title-winners. Here's what they discussed **** Washington tournament owner Mark Ein has been doing the media rounds this week (including a stop on Ben Rothenberg's Bounces), and it caught our ear when he declared himself a doubles superfan. Ein says Washington has gone as far as almost any tournament to promote doubles, including proactively engineering eye-catching pairings rather than leaving it to chance His pitch: nothing beats watching top players mixing it up in doubles on a 1,500–3,000 seat side court, right on top of the crowd. He acknowledges the counter-argument other tournaments make that doubles soaks up a lot of prize money, but argues the format needs to "add unique value" to earn its keep. Washington will live mic doubles players again this year, the third year running. Tournament director Valerie Tetreault has called for change after both Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic pulled out of the Canadian Masters 1000, a repeat of last year, when both skipped Toronto. Tetreault is disappointed but understanding of the players' need to prioritise health given the schedule. Her broader point is that repeated last-minute withdrawals from Masters 1000s raise a real issue for the sport, since fans "rightfully expect to see the world's best compete." She's calling for adjustments to better protect the integrity of Masters 1000 events. The 2028 Olympic tennis event, to be held in Carson, near where the Williams sisters grew up in Compton, will start just three days after the Wimbledon men's final.

Shutterstock Track 1219389 Monetization ID TFGEPGEI0LHEIJAI Kia ora. Welcome to Wednesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news China's clear need for less oil has pushed its price sharply lower even as both the Gulf of Hormuz and the Red Sea remain effectively shut. As other sources raise their output, global demand is being undermined, essentially by this Chinese transition. But first up today, we should note the overnight dairy Pulse auction. Prices achieved were a bit more than -1% lower than the prior week's full auction in USD, but a bit less than that in NZD. In the US, the ADP weekly private payrolls monitoring recorded another easing, only +15,000 and extending the easing trend that has been in place since early May. The US merchandise trade deficit came in more than -US$100 bln in June, a second straight month of an unusually high negative level. Year-on-year, exports were up, but imports rose faster. Meanwhile both their retail (+3.1%) and wholesale inventories (+4.1%) rose in June, reflecting the stockpiling trend that has been in place for a while now. The expected improvement in the Richmond Fed factory survey didn't eventuate in July from June, but it remains modestly positive. New order flows edged lower while price and cost levels remained elevated. But there was a solid improvement in the Dallas Fed services sector recorded in their July survey. Nationally, the Conference Board's consumer sentiment survey in the US took a step lower in July. This extends its falling trajectory that started in early 2025. The auction for the US Treasury 7yr Note was well supported earlier today but again, investors are getting higher yields for the elevated risk they perceive. This latest one delivered a median yield of 4.41% (high of 4.47%) compared to 4.20% at the prior equivalent event a month ago. In Japan, a major 7.1 earthquake in the south has caused widespread damage and deaths. And Japan's parliament has approved a plan to create a "second capital" capable of keeping the country running if disaster strikes Tokyo. It is likely to be in Osaka. Malaysia said producer prices there were +9.2% higher in June than a year ago. This was an unexpected jump from the anticipated +7.7% which was similar to the May rise. Staying in the region, Singapore reported its birth rate for 2025 and for the first time since its independence, it has fallen below +30,000 in a year. It, like many places, is on a steep trajectory of lower fertility. Industrial production in India rose +7.3% in June from a year ago, more than expected and the sharpest pace of expansion in nearly two years. It seems to be bouncing back from the initial shocks from the Middle East conflict. Later today, we will be getting the June CPI result from Australia and a no-change 4.0% rate is anticipated. But yesterday Governor Michelle Bullock was out speaking and affirming that they are worried that these high levels are embedding, so their 1-3% target range is not likely in the medium term. Some are wondering if this was a signal that an unexpected hike is about to be delivered next week. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.60%, down -5 bps from this time yesterday. The price of gold has fallen to US$4030/oz, down -US$48 from yesterday. Silver is now just over US$57/oz, down -US$1.50 from yesterday. Oil prices have fallen another -US$3.50 from yesterday at now just over US$79/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is now just over US$84.50/bbl and down -US$5. Hormuz transits are still basically halted. There have been no crude tankers and only 3 cargo ship exiting over the past 24 hours (1 dark with transponders off) and three entering for new loads (1 dark). The Red Sea is even less active than the prior day. The Kiwi dollar is up +20 bps from yesterday at just under 57.9 USc. Against the Aussie we are up +40 bps at 83 AUc. Against the euro we are holding at just on 50.8 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at 61.8 which is up +20 bps from this time yesterday. The bitcoin price starts today at US$63,568 and down -2.1% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +/-1.7%.

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bizpod/BEP119c-Telephone-Appointment.mp3 Welcome back to Business English Pod for today's lesson on making an appointment over the telephone. Despite the many options for communication, the telephone is still the fastest and easiest way to do get some things done. This is true in business as much as it is in personal life. There are many reasons to skip the back and forth of email or texting and just call someone. One good reason is to make an appointment. It could be a business meeting, a conversation with your lawyer, a visit to a client, or a doctor's appointment. In this case, the real business needs to happen in person. But that in-person appointment needs to be arranged and agreed on. When we make an appointment over the phone, we often say our reason for calling before asking for a meeting. And it's a good idea to give a clear reason for that meeting or appointment. You'll also have to discuss existing plans and suggest times for the meeting. In today's dialog, we'll hear Gordon Knight calling to make an appointment with Penny Yip. Gordon works for a pension fund, while Penny works for an investment company. Gordon met Penny at a recent conference and now wants to follow up and meet her when he is in Malaysia. Listening Questions 1. What does Gordon tell the assistant about his reason for calling? 2. What does Gordon tell Penny about his reason for meeting? 3. What time does Penny suggest they meet?

Patrick Witt, the White House's executive director for digital assets policy, calls in mid-episode to give the Chopping Block crew a live read on the CLARITY market structure bill! Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week they're joined mid-episode by Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the President's Council of Advisors for Digital Assets, who dialed in late because he was literally chasing down bill language. First, Tarun explains how Gauntlet closed its biggest raise ever, $125M from SBI Holdings, the crypto OGs of Japan and early Ripple Labs backers, and what it cost him in suits and seven straight days of staying shaved (chairman Kitao-san reportedly listens). Then the crew dissects Balaji's Network School saga, from a Forest City ghost town in Malaysia to an immigration raid, a revoked license, and a sudden MOU-fueled pivot to Kazakhstan, with Tom's dreaded 'turkey chart' making an appearance. Finally, the main event: Patrick lays out the state of play on the CLARITY market structure bill, the August 7th recess deadline, the ~46% Polymarket coin flip, and the first-of-its-kind ethics provision, including the DOJ-versus-state-AG enforcement fight and whether crypto gets a second crack after midterms.

From running marathons to being personalised chefs, robots are redefining life in the future. Synopsis: Every fourth Friday of the month, The Straits Times will now analyse the hottest political and trending talking points, alternating between its Malaysia and Greater China bureaus. For July, host and deputy foreign editor Albert Wai teams up with ST’s senior China correspondents Yew Lun Tian and Daryl Loo. Their focus is on China’s AI and robots and what they mean for jobs, IPOs and the US-China rivalry. On the ground, Lun Tian notes that AI has become “everything, everywhere, all at once.” Everyday innovations now range from driverless robotaxis and near-unmanned factories to AI-generated microdramas. Such tech advancements have translated into a can-do spirit for China. The government has framed China’s open-source AI models as a driver of equitable global development—offering Beijing a chance to demonstrate leadership and responsible AI governance. However, skeptics argue against expanding China’s influence in setting global standards. Domestically, it has also sparked a massive capital surge in the form of IPOs. And talent is in such short supply that Chinese companies now have to look overseas. While the overall picture is a positive one, there is an underbelly in the form of social inequalities, need for regulation as well as ethical issues. There are also implications for US-China ties. AI has become yet another topic that shows how difficult it is for both sides to come together. Yet, dialogue is urgently needed for both Beijing and Washington to identify low-hanging fruits and establish basic guardrails. What do the podcasters hope to see in future? Albert and Daryl wish for a robot that can analyse, wash and fold their laundry, while Lun Tian would like a “master shifu” to answer her burning questions.

You can have all the goals in the world. Write them down every morning. Vision board them on your wall. But if you're not becoming the person those goals actually require, nothing is going to change. In this solo episode, Ray Higdon cuts straight to the truth: most people don't fail because they lack goals. They fail because they won't do the personal becoming that the goal demands. And he's not just talking theory here. Ray walks you through a powerful exercise to expose the gap between what you want and who you currently are, then backs it up with real stories. A guy named Eric who skipped his mortgage payment to fly to Malaysia on a hunch and built a team of 20,000 people a month. A plumber named Roger who started filming himself unclog toilets, got laughed at for a year, and ended up with a $2 million sponsorship deal. These weren't lucky breaks. They were leaps of faith made by people who chose to become someone new. Ray ties it all back to scripture too, reminding us that Abraham, Joseph, Peter, and every other person God used greatly had to walk through discomfort to get to the fruit. The question isn't whether you have bold enough goals. The question is whether you're bold enough to become the person capable of reaching them.

Cyclospora is an uncommon but important cause of prolonged watery diarrhea in children, particularly during the summer months and during foodborne outbreaks. This episode reviews the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic pitfalls, treatment, and practical emergency department approach to recognizing and managing pediatric cyclosporiasis.   Learning Objectives Recognize the clinical features and epidemiology of Cyclospora cayetanensis infection in children, including when to suspect the diagnosis in patients with prolonged watery diarrhea. Select appropriate diagnostic testing for cyclosporiasis and identify the limitations of routine stool cultures, ova and parasite examinations, and gastrointestinal pathogen panels. Apply evidence-based treatment and supportive care for pediatric cyclospora infection, including appropriate antimicrobial therapy, hydration, and follow-up considerations. References Stobbe M.

As always, I'm your host, Brad Sobolewski. It's July and a seven-year-old comes into your emergency department with 10 days of watery diarrhea. They were seen earlier in the week and told it was probably viral gastroenteritis. Maybe they got a prescription for ondansetron, maybe they didn't. Stool cultures have already come back negative. Mom tells you, “Every time I think he's finally getting better, the explosive diarrhea comes right back.” So what's going on? Today we're talking about Cyclospora. Honestly, it's one of those organisms that most of us forget about until summer rolls around, or since medical school. We don't diagnose it every week, and depending on where you practice, you may go years without seeing a case. But then an outbreak happens, and maybe just a handful of sporadic cases show up, and suddenly you're reminded that not every child with prolonged diarrhea has viral gastroenteritis. Cyclospora cayetanensis is a coccidian protozoan that's transmitted through contaminated food or water. In the United States, it's most commonly associated with imported fresh produce, things like cilantro, basil, lettuce, salad mixes, and berries. Unlike bacterial food poisoning, everyone at the picnic usually isn't sick, so it often presents as an isolated illness because the exposure happened days earlier and may have involved only one particular food item. Families are often trying to remember the one thing that they ate that made everybody sick. Honestly, sometimes it's simply the salad they bought at the grocery store a week ago. One thing that's helped me remember these organisms over the years is that they each sort of develop their own personality. You know, it's often confused with Giardia and Cryptosporidium. So if the diarrhea is greasy, think Giardia. If it's profuse, watery diarrhea after swimming, think Cryptosporidium. If it's prolonged, watery diarrhea during the summer, think Cyclospora. Now, obviously there are exceptions, but I think that's a pretty useful framework, especially when you're seeing patients one after another in a busy ED. One of my favorite pearls about Cyclospora, and I think it's probably the one fact that's most worth remembering because it explains how it sort of works. Unlike Giardia or Cryptosporidium, the oocysts that are passed in stool aren't immediately infectious. They actually have to spend days to weeks out in the environment before they mature enough to infect somebody else. So Cyclospora isn't really spread by the kids sitting next to them at daycare. It's spread by the salad they both ate last week. I think that's a lot easier to remember than trying to memorize the organism's life cycle. The incubation period averages about seven to 10 days, so by the time symptoms begin, families usually don't remember exactly what their kid ate. They're certainly not connecting today's diarrhea with the salad they had a week ago. The diarrhea itself is usually watery, sometimes pretty high volume, sometimes even explosive. One thing that's a little deceptive is that it tends to wax and wane. Parents will tell you, “Yesterday I thought we had finally turned the corner,” and today they're right back where they started. Along with the diarrhea, you'll often see abdominal cramping, bloating, nausea, fatigue, maybe even a low-grade fever, and if this has been going on for a while, some weight loss or poor weight gain. Most of these kids don't walk in looking critically ill. They walk in because they're still having diarrhea when everyone expected them to be over it. That's really the patient where Cyclospora should come to mind. And of course, not every child with prolonged diarrhea has it. Giardia is still incredibly common, especially after untreated water exposure, camping, or daycare. Again, those kids have greasy, foul-smelling stools with bloating and flatulence. Cryptosporidium is the swimming pool organism. Those oocysts are remarkably resistant to chlorine, so swimming pools, splash pads, and water parks should all get your attention. Those patients usually have profuse watery diarrhea, but in otherwise healthy children, it tends to run its course over a couple weeks. Cyclospora is different because it just hangs around. That's really what makes me think about it. It's not necessarily how sick the kid is, it's that they're still sick when they should actually be getting better. So aside from when you're in the middle of an outbreak, when should you actually suspect it? It's really when a few things start lining up. The diarrhea has lasted more than a week. Maybe it got a little better and then came back. The kid has lost some weight or looks a little dehydrated. It's summertime. The bacterial stool studies are negative. Maybe there's a history of travel. Maybe there isn't. Maybe there's a history of eating fresh produce. Maybe there isn't. At some point, you have to stop saying, “Eh, it's probably still viral,” and start asking yourself whether you're dealing with something else. One teaching point that's worth repeating, partly because it shows up on board exams and partly because it explains the epidemiology, is that Cyclospora isn't spread directly from person to person. Fresh stool isn't immediately infectious because those oocysts still have to sporulate in the environment before they can infect the next person. So let's say you're thinking about Cyclospora. What do you actually order? A routine stool culture isn't gonna help you. Even a routine ova and parasite examination may not be enough. That's an easy mistake to make because a lot of us were taught persistent diarrhea, send culture and O&P or a stool molecular pathogen panel. Many labs don't specifically look for Cyclospora unless you ask them to or order it specifically. So there's gastrointestinal PCRs for it, but you have to order them separately. So you can actually get back a negative O&P and feel reassured when in reality no one's really tested for Cyclospora. If your hospital has a multiplex GI PCR panel that includes it, that's probably what you should order first. If you don't, you probably have to order it separately. Another board pearl. So if you're taking a board exam and they describe a child with prolonged watery diarrhea during the summer, maybe after eating fresh produce, and then they casually mention that the routine ova and parasite examination was negative, don't let that throw you off. That's actually the clue. The organism may still be there, the lab just wasn't sent to look for it. If your lab is using microscopy, Cyclospora can be identified with a modified acid-fast stain. The oocysts are a little larger than Cryptosporidium, and one interesting feature is that they stain variably. Some stain bright red, while others hardly stain at all, giving them that classic ghost organism appearance, which I think is just, like, cool. And because oocyst shedding is intermittent, collecting two or three stool specimens over several days can improve the diagnostic yield if you still have a high index of suspicion. The good news is that once you make the diagnosis, treatment is actually pretty straightforward. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole remains the treatment of choice. In adult-sized patients, that means trimethoprim one hundred and sixty milligrams plus sulfamethoxazole eight hundred milligrams, just one double-strength tablet, orally twice a day for seven to ten days. For kids greater than two months of age to eighteen years, it's eight to ten milligrams per kilogram trimethoprim and forty to fifty milligrams per kilogram sulfamethoxazole per day orally in two divided doses for seven to ten days. Most children begin feeling noticeably better within twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Honestly, this can be a pretty satisfying infection to treat because families have often been searching for an answer for a week or two. They've been told it's viral. They've been waiting for it to improve, and then you finally make the diagnosis within a day or two of starting the right antimicrobial, the kid's turning the corner. If the kid has a true sulfonamide allergy, things are a little more complicated, and I mean a true allergy, not just the parent who says, “Well, my mother was allergic to sulfa, so we've always avoided it.” There really isn't a perfect alternative. At this point, I'm probably talking to ID. Nitazoxanide's been used, ciprofloxacin's been used, but we generally try to avoid fluoroquinolones in children. Neither has been shown to work as well as trim-sulfa. And if you've got somebody who's immunocompromised with Cyclospora, which fortunately I've never seen, I'd be calling ID. Of course, don't forget everything else that goes along with taking care of prolonged diarrhea. Oral rehydration is still the goal whenever possible. Some kids are gonna need IV fluids because by the time they get to you, they've been losing fluid for days. Replace electrolytes if they've been really sick. And if the illness has dragged on for a couple of weeks, don't forget the nutritional burden. Sometimes they've lost enough weight that getting them eating and drinking normally again becomes part of an ongoing treatment plan. The good news is that most otherwise healthy children recover completely. Immunocompromised patients are the group that worries us the most. Their symptoms can become prolonged. They can relapse. Sometimes they require longer admissions or even secondary prophylaxis. One question that occasionally comes up is whether you need to repeat stool testing after treatment. In general, you don't. If the kid's symptoms have resolved, then you don't need to prove microbiologic cure. Treat the patient, not the PCR. If the kid feels better, you don't need to prove that the pathogen is gone. So let's get back to that hypothetical scenario we started with, that kid in July that's had watery diarrhea for 10 days. The stool culture was negative. They're starting to lose weight. The parents are frustrated. Everyone keeps telling them it's a virus. Maybe it is another virus. Maybe it's two illnesses in a row. But this is the patient where you have to take a step back and consider just one more test instead of offering more reassurance. That's what Cyclospora is. Of course, you shouldn't suspect it in every single child with prolonged diarrhea, but be aware of whether or not there's an outbreak and test for it. Before wrapping this episode up, here's a few more things I'd like you to remember. One, if watery diarrhea has lasted more than a week, especially during the summer months, make sure Cyclospora is somewhere on your differential. Second, remember my comparison. Greasy diarrhea, think Giardia. Swimming pool exposure and profuse watery diarrhea, think Cryptosporidium. Prolonged watery diarrhea during the summer, think Cyclospora. Third, don't let a negative routine ova and parasite examination or stool molecular pathogen panel falsely reassure you. Make sure your laboratory is actually testing for Cyclospora, and remember that not every GI PCR panel includes it. Finally, once you make the diagnosis, treatment is pretty straightforward. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for most patients. Kids will start feeling better in 24 to 48 hours. Cyclospora isn't the first diagnosis that comes to mind when a kid has diarrhea, and it shouldn't be. Viral gastro is still far more common. But when the diarrhea has been going on for 10 days, the stool studies are negative, the kid's starting to lose weight, and the family says, “I thought we were finally getting better,” that's when you have to stop and think about Cyclospora. It's the child with the diarrhea that lingered. If you enjoyed this episode, as the kids would say, like, rate, and review.

Southeast Asia's venture market is not in a downturn. It is in a structural winter, and mid-2026 is when that distinction stopped being academic. Kristie Neo returns to break down what is actually happening across the region: Singapore's IPO revival is real but is being carried by data centres and REITs rather than homegrown tech; allocators now rank Southeast Asia at the bottom of Asia behind China, India, Japan, Korea and ANZ; and a generation of growth-stage companies is being kept alive past the point where a merger or a wind-down would have served everyone better. Jeremy Au and Kristie also work through what could actually restart the funding ladder, from encouraging tech M&A and fixing university IP commercialisation, to tax incentives for angels and support for syndicate leads who can assemble the $1 million to $5 million rounds that Singapore currently cannot fill. If you are a founder raising in Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand or Malaysia, or an LP trying to work out where capital goes next in Asia, this is the honest state of the market.

Part 8 with Geordie Lillis from Creators of Awesome, and it's all travel yarns. Geordie's held a camera in more countries than most people visit in a lifetime. Sitting on top of Table Mountain in Cape Town, which he points out is a fair way from Dalby. Nights out in Piss Alley in Shinjuku, where three streets are packed with about 150 tiny family-run bars that fit three patrons each and some won't even let tourists in. Then Malaysia. Filming a vehicle announcement with the princes of Johor, wrapped in the afternoon, and found a 24 hour go-kart track. There's a bar at the track and they do not care how full you are. Started pissing down rain, the whole place was theirs, staff jumped in karts and started chucking buckets of water on the track so the boys could do drifties at midnight. And the big one. First trip out of Australia at 23, on a Contiki with 14 Aussie blokes in the Austrian ski town of Hopfgarten. Dead bar, a house drink called a fruit salad, a Stratocaster on the stage, and the moment Geordie started playing Highway to Hell a whole bus of Australians walked through the door. Ends with a stolen porcelain pineapple, a taxi, and waking up cuddling it covered in dots. Need a video done? Find Creators of Awesome. ⚠️ Explicit content.#propertrueyarn

Can someone join a network marketing company and make $30,000 a month within their first year? Yes. But those success stories are anomalies—not the typical experience. In this episode, recorded while I'm in Malaysia, I talk about why setting realistic expectations in network marketing may be one of the most important things you can do to improve retention and help more people succeed. Too many people enter the profession expecting massive results almost immediately. When those results don't happen within a few weeks or months, they assume something is wrong. Maybe the company doesn't work. Maybe the compensation plan isn't good enough. Maybe they joined at the wrong time. Or maybe they simply aren't capable of succeeding. In reality, building a successful network marketing business usually requires time, patience, consistency and the development of new skills. When we bring people on board with the right expectations, they're better prepared for the challenges they'll experience. They don't panic when success takes longer than expected. They don't interpret every setback as failure. They stay engaged. They continue learning. And many remain in the business long enough to finally achieve meaningful results. Realistic expectations don't make the opportunity less exciting. They make long-term success more likely. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why extraordinary income stories should never become ordinary expectations • How unrealistic expectations contribute to poor retention • Why patience is essential when building a network marketing business • How setting the right expectations helps new distributors navigate challenges • Why adjusting your own expectations may be just as important as adjusting those of your team • How keeping people engaged longer can dramatically improve their opportunity to succeed Watch the full episode: ToddFalcone.com/episode379  Subscribe for practical, field-tested network marketing training on recruiting, prospecting, leadership, mindset, duplication and building a successful long-term business. #NetworkMarketing #NetworkMarketingSuccess #NetworkMarketingTraining #DirectSelling #EntrepreneurMindset #BusinessSuccess #Leadership #Patience #ToddFalcone

The Atemoya Custard Apple is a much sought-after fruit grown only in one county in Taiwan. The Taiwanese are justly proud of it. Meanwhile, the Musang King Durian - grown in Malaysia - is also highly prized for its unique flavour as the ‘Hermes of Durians.' Every year, fruit lovers across the region look out for these treats and snap them up where they can, often paying high prices. In recent years, farmers have seen opportunities to raise their income by selling these niche, super-luxury fruits on the Chinese market, but the strategy comes with big risks too. Koh Ewe from the BBC's Singapore Bureau has been tracking the fortunes of these two fruits. A statue of Saint Olga is a much-loved figure in Central Kyiv, Ukraine. So much so, that when Russia invaded Ukraine, the statue was given a flak jacket with the words “she needs armour” written on it. Saint Olga of Kyiv is celebrated by Ukrainians and Russians alike. She's a saint in both the Catholic and Orthodox churches and her saint's day is celebrated on 11th July. BBC Ukrainian's Irena Taranyuk explores her sometimes violent history.The Fifth Floor is at the heart of global storytelling on the BBC World Service, bringing you the best stories from journalists in the BBC's 43 language services.
