It is produced and released by Regal Films as part of their year-long 48th anniversary celebration. The film was released domestically on October 1, 2008.
The film is about a married woman who starts behaving unpredictably as she recovers from a terrible car accident.

Mag-ingat Ka sa... Kulam is the first film among others to be officially released without charge on YouTube by Regal Entertainment, on May 2, 2020.

Plot
Ever since Mira (Judy Ann Santos) woke up from a car accident, she started seeing things that she could not explain. She felt paranormal activity is occurring inside their house. Although she could not remember anything that happened before the accident, Dave came to her house and explained to her that she was supposed to leave her husband, Paul and elope with him. Dave told her that she loved him and she trusted a secret to him. Mira learned that Paul had another lover before which caused their relationship to deteriorate. Even her blind child, Sophie seemed aloof and is scared of her. She started to patch things up between her and her family but she could not forget what Dave told her about trusting him her secret.
Mira called up Dave to meet him and Dave explained to her the secret she seemed to have forgotten. Dave told her how she had a twin sister named Maria that she left in a mental institute because she had been insane since their mother's death. Mira and Dave went to the mental institute to see Maria, but she committed suicide a month back and since no one claimed her body, they took the corpse to a university for study. She told Paul about this which surprised him, all along not knowing that Mira ever had a twin sister. Paul called the university to claim the corpse and then had it cremated.

Mira and Paul's daughter, Sophie, underwent an eye transplant. Sophie was so excited to see the upcoming eclipse as this is her first time to see again since she got blind. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw a woman standing behind her mother and the people around were wondering who she was seeing since no other people were there.

Paul and Mira could no longer take the paranormal activity so they decided to consult a medium to help them. The old medium told Mira and Paul that a powerful spell is to acquire a physical body on the eclipse when all spirits is at their most powerful. The medium found a doll which he called "antiguar", a powerful device that the bad spirit can use to let itself remain in this world.
On the night of the eclipse, Sophie and Paul were watching the phenomenon when Paul caught a glimpse of something white approaching them. It was Maria's body. He took Sophie inside the house and in her room, he found a tape which when he played in Sophie's video cam recorder, he saw it was recorded by Mira for him. The video showed Mira videotaping herself before the car accident she went through. Mira was saying in the tape how Paul could fight Maria. In the room where Mira was, her body became that of Maria. The twist was then revealed. It was Maria who came back from the car accident and it was Mira who died in the asylum and got cremated. Mira had been dead all along and it was Maria who used her body to come back to the world and take vengeance against Mira through her family.

Mira recalled that their mother was a mangkukulam (witch) and tried to transfer her powers to the twins when they were young. Being the braver one, Mira tried to contradict their mother's chants as she did not want to learn about her evil doings and voodoo magic. When the twins grew up, Mira decided to run away from home, leaving Maria behind. Their mother died soon after. Mira attended the burial and thinking that Maria had gone insane, claiming she could talk to things that Mira could not see. Mira then told her twin that she would bring her with her to Manila. It turned out though that Mira would send her to a mental institute. Maria was left heartbroken. One night, she stayed up late and did the aforementioned spell so that her and Mira's soul could switch. The chant was effective, but when Maria's soul transferred to Mira's body (who was on the way to the mental asylum to stop Maria from doing any harm to her family) the car got into a horrible accident. Maria, who woke up in Mira's body could no longer remember anything while Mira who found herself in Maria's body woke up from the trance already in the asylum.

In the present, Paul replayed the video tape that Mira left for him. Mira said that by the time that Paul got to watch the video, she would have been dead. Paul needed to trap Maria into a circle made of Mira's body's dust. Paul did this but Maria discovers the trick. She was then pushed by Sophie in the circle of dust. Paul stabbed the "antiguar" with a piece of wood and Maria's soul burned and disappeared. Mira's soul showed up to the father and daughter to bid her final farewell. It is hinted at the end that Mira's daughter Sophie saw the book that was use for "kulam".

Bewilder Box / Eltham Escape Rooms: The B.R.U.C.E. Project Part 1
Digital Play at Home Sci-Fi
Pilot an experimental robot through 60 minutes of mind boggling challenges designed by the award winning team behind Eltham Escape Rooms and Bewilder Box Drag, drop, solve and sleuth your way through each interactive puzzle, with every action synced across your team.
Rating: Unique
Completion Time: 56 minutes 18 seconds
Date Played: 30th July 2020
Recommended For: A small team wanting to collaborate together on the same screen
If I had a penny for every time someone told me I HAD to play The B.R.U.C.E. Project by Bewilder Box I'd be… Well… A bit better off than I am now. Point being, this game felt like a long awaited rite of passage I needed to play.
Having finished it I can now say that no, it's not my favourite play at home game every but I completely understand why everyone enjoys this so much. It's really UNIQUE and cracks a lot of problems of collaboration that other escape games still struggle with. So, a big round of applause for Bewilder Box and Eltham Escape Room's ingenuity!
The story goes, you and your team of players take control of a little 8-bit robot as he travels around the mysterious Sector X. A professor has been killed and by solving a series of puzzles you, the intrepid players, get to find out what happened.
Or that's the idea anyway. I have to admit, inbetween all the loud airhorn sounds we're allowed to press *pew pew pewww*, robot jokes, and enthusiastic commentary from my team, I lost track of the story a bit. I have absolutely no idea what did happen to the professor in the end… But that's okay! I don't think this game's is really meant to be about the narrative. Therefore, it doesn't really matter why you're there and what you're doing. It's just for fun and doesn't take itself too seriously. *pew pew*
In terms of gameplay and puzzles, The B.R.U.C.E. Project replicates a lot of real life escape room puzzles you'd expect to play in a room, but does so in a digital format. For example, there's one where you have to line up different length keys into different depth holes. There's also quite a few where you have to cross-reference visual data (note – we got around a lot of these by taking quickly photographs and screenshots of bits and bobs we could come back to later).
These all work very well, you can see what all other players are doing up on the screen and of course everyone has their own icon and mouse to control and. Just like in a real escape room, you have to work together and really think about what you're doing and why. No button mashing here… Or maybe just a little.
For that reason, I think the creators of this game have really thought hard about the genre of escape rooms and what that might look in a digital format. Needless to say, I think they nailed it! I'm very, very excited to see where this technology goes in the future and what digital/play at home escape rooms will look like soon. It's an exciting time to be in lockdown.
The B.R.U.C.E. Project can be purchased for £15 on Bewilder Box's website.

Coronavirus testing limitations in Massachusetts a growing concern for Governor Baker
By Colin A. Young and Matt Murphy
State House News Service
As the state works to manage the spread of the coronavirus, Gov. Charlie Baker on Thursday issued his most forceful call yet for the federal government to allow private labs and hospital facilities to test for the virus as the number of cases statewide climbed to 108.
Testing has emerged as a key aspect of the national response to the outbreak of the newest coronavirus and the COVID-19 respiratory illness it causes. Without enough tests, public health officials are not able to wrap their arms around the full scope of the outbreak.
Guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control generally determine who should be tested, but anecdotal evidence suggests that not all people who have been exposed to the virus qualify to be tested at this point.
After meeting with local officials in Pittsfield, where it appears the coronavirus has spread among the community without a known link to an infected person or high-risk region of the world, Baker said Massachusetts recently got enough testing supplies to test an additional 5,000 people but still needs to significantly ramp up its testing.
"We certainly believe we have what I would describe as an adequate supply today, but as I said in my remarks, we need the federal government — the CDC and FDA in particular — to give hospitals and testing facilities here in Massachusetts that have the capacity to test the material and then the approval they need to actually begin to test themselves," Baker said.
"The fact that the state lab is the single source of testing at this time is not adequate," he said.
Baker would not say exactly how many people have already been tested in Massachusetts, but said the state now has the ability to test 5,000 people in addition to the "several thousand" it had the ability to test before getting the latest supply.
On Tuesday, Public Health Commissioner Monica Bharel said the state had recently received enough kits and supplies to test 2,000 new people and had already tested roughly 400 patients. Bharel said an approval from the federal government to automate part of the testing process would also allow the state to increase its testing capacity from 50 to 200 per day.
"Thankfully, the Massachusetts DPH lab is more advanced than some other states. That enables the lab to now process four times as many samples as it was last week," Baker said Thursday. "But we need more testing capability. And we need the federal government to get there."
Baker said his administration has been in touch with the state's Congressional delegation and the Trump administration about securing approvals for additional testing sites, including hospitals and private labs.
"We have hospitals in eastern Massachusetts, central Massachusetts, western Massachusetts, we have labs not related to hospitals, independent privately operated labs, all of which have the capacity to do this if they can get several requirements and authorizations from the feds," Baker said.
The number of cases of coronavirus in Massachusetts reached triple digits on Thursday, with the Department of Public Health reporting a total of 108 cases, including six confirmed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. That's 13 more cases than were reported on Wednesday.
A total of 82 cases, up from 77 a day earlier, are being linked to the Biogen leadership meeting at the Long Wharf Marriott in late February.
Worcester County was the only county with known exposure to COVID-19 to not see an uptick in cases Thursday, while there still have been no reported cases Hampshire, Hampden, Franklin, Bristol, Plymouth, Barnstable, Dukes and Nantucket counties.
Berkshire County, where Baker was in the afternoon, now has a total of nine cases. Public health officials also added a new category to its tracking to report that eight cases are associated with Berkshire Medical Center.
At that hospital, Baker said from Pittsfield, officials are concerned about their ability to appropriately staff the facility given the fact that some workers have been quarantined out of concern that they might have been exposed to the coronavirus.
But because of the emergency declaration he ordered this week, Baker said the state's Board of Registration in Nursing "put in place an emergency procedure that will make it possible for licensed out-of-state medical professionals and nurses to get licensed here in Massachusetts in one day."
"One of the things we heard from the delegation and from the mayor about was a more aggressive process for nurses and other medical professionals who are licensed and qualified in other states to be able to get licensed and qualified in Massachusetts quickly," the governor said after meeting with Pittsfield Mayor Linda Tyer, Rep. Tricia Farley-Bouvier, Sen. Adam Hinds and others.
Hinds tweeted Thursday afternoon that the steps the state has taken so far to help Berkshire County are only the start.
"The Berkshires is the first area of the Commonwealth where we are seeing community transmission of COVID-19 of unknown origin. Approving interstate medical licenses to practice in Massachusetts, supporting public and private labs to test and expedite COVID-19 results, and provide cutting-edge equipment to hospitals and healthcare organizations in our region is just the beginning of what is necessary for the Berkshires to mitigate and curb the virus' spread," the Pittsfield Democrat posted.
Reps. William "Smitty" Pignatelli and John Barrett III, both from the Berkshires, also have filed legislation to create a new fund to assist hourly wage workers who may have to miss work due to infection, quarantine or isolation related to COVID-19.

Massachusetts Restricts Visitors to Nursing Home, Rest Homes to Reduce Risk of Coronavirus
The Baker-Polito Administration released policies restricting visitors to nursing homes and rest homes in order to protect older adults at higher risk for Coronavirus (COVID-19) and other respiratory illness. Health and Human Services Secretary Marylou Sudders, Department of Public Health Commissioner Monica Bharel and their teams reviewed the guidance with long term care facility operators via teleconference today.
This action follows Governor Charlie Baker's Tuesday declaration of a State of Emergency in Massachusetts that was ratified by the Public Health Council earlier today granting the Commissioner of Public Health with the authority to implement the Governor's State of Emergency.
With this authority, the Commissioner of Public Health issued an order requiring all facilities – nursing and rest homes – to actively screen all visitors and to take measures to restrict visitors under certain circumstances.
"Everyone has a role to play to mitigate the spread of the Coronavirus outbreak in Massachusetts, and it's particularly important that we take precautions to keep older adults and those with health conditions safe," said Governor Charlie Baker. "This new guidance for long-term care facilities is critical to protecting older adults from COVID-19 and we appreciate the public's willingness to observe these important rules for the foreseeable future."
"Today's actions are being taken to protect older adults that are particularly vulnerable to coronavirus and other respiratory diseases, as we have seen as its spread across the world, including the United States," said Secretary Marylou Sudders. "Massachusetts, as we all know has an aging population – with 20% of residents being over 60 – and so we needed to act to protect our older residents, especially those in long term care facilities."
"Our goal at DPH is to protect the health and well-being of all Massachusetts residents, especially those at highest risk for COVID-19," said Commissioner Monica Bharel, MD, MPH. "We will continue to update our guidance as this outbreak evolves."
This guidance outlines how these facilities should protect older adult residents, who are at higher risk for Coronavirus. The guidance includes the following restrictions:
· Banning visitors who show signs or symptoms of a respiratory infection (fever, cough, shortness of breath, or sore throat)
· Visitors will be prohibited if in the last 14 days they had contact with someone with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, are under investigation for COVID-19 or has been sick
· Visitors will be prohibited if they have travelled internationally in the last 14 days or are residing in a community where community-based spread of COVID-19 is occurring
· Visitors will not be allowed to visit long term care facilities if they currently feel sick or exhibit symptoms
In addition to specific recommendations for long term care facilities, the Administration updated its guidance to the general public, specifically urging older adults and those with health issues to avoid large crowds and events. Individuals who live in households with vulnerable people, like elderly parents, should also consider avoiding crowds to mitigate risk. This guidance is posted on the Department of Public Health's website, www.mass.gov/2019coronavirus.
The public is reminded of steps to take to limit the spread of COVID-19:
· Cover your mouth – when you cough or sneeze use a tissue or your inner elbow, not your hands
· Wash your hands – with soap and warm water or use an alcohol-based sanitizing gel
· Stay home if you are sick – and avoid close contact with others
The Administration will continue to update the public on further developments and individuals are encouraged to consult both the Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention websites for the most up to date information.
Massachusetts Coronavirus Quarantine Numbers Pass 1,000, Most Have Completed Monitoring
By Chris Lisinski
More than 1,000 Massachusetts residents have been subjected to quarantine since the start of a coronavirus outbreak in the state, about 60 percent of whom have completed monitoring.
The latest numbers from the state released Wednesday showed 445 individuals are under quarantine or undergoing monitoring for the COVID-19 illness, while another 638 finished that process and are no longer in quarantine.
Since last week, the last time public health officials released quarantine numbers, the total number of Bay Staters who are in or have completed quarantine increased about 300. Over that same span, the amount of confirmed COVID-19 cases ballooned from just one to 92.
A daily update on cases is expected around 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Gov. Charlie Baker declared a state of emergency on Tuesday and imposed limits on state employee travel as the state began shifting its approach to focus on mitigation. The governor encouraged employers to let employees work remotely, if possible.
Public Health Commissioner Monica Bharel said the state is "at a critical point in this outbreak," particularly because some of the seven cases in Berkshire County could not be traced back to international travel or to an isolated and known source of transmission.
On Wednesday morning, Bharel received new authority to take prompt actions as necessary during the state's response to the virus.
Following a vote from the Public Health Council, Bharel will have the sole authority to order isolation or quarantine for patients in coronavirus cases, which under statute normally requires action from her in conjunction with the council. Local boards of health can also issue similar orders.
The council also voted unanimously Wednesday to give Bharel broader authority to take prompt action in response to any unforeseen developments as part of the public health emergency.
"Our goal is to prevent the spread in our communities and reduce the number of people infected," Bharel said.
The emergency declaration, she said, "prepares us for the potential of what's to come."
All but one of the state's 92 COVID-19 cases are presumptive positive, meaning they have not yet been confirmed by the CDC. Public health officials said 70 cases trace back to a late February executive meeting that Biogen held in Boston.
Council members raised concerns at the meeting about the impact on health care workers and on municipalities. Dr. Edward Bernstein, a professor of emergency medicine at Boston University, asked about plans to limit exposure for hospital workers and other providers as well as patients.
Bharel replied that the state would offer frequent communication across the health care system, and she said the state received confirmation Tuesday that it will receive additional personal protective equipment from a national stockpile to supplement "dwindling supplies."
"In Berkshire County, we're working with them so their health care workers and their patients can be prioritized to be tested there," Bharel said, noting that Centers for Disease Control guidelines currently allow the tests only for patients displaying symptoms.
Responding to a question from Upton Town Manager Derek Brindisi about municipal access to protective equipment and hand sanitizer, Bharel said materials the state will receive from the national stockpile are 'for all individuals who need it appropriately."
The state expanded its testing capacity from 50 patients per day to 200 and recently received another 2,000 testing kits, each of which can handle multiple patients. However, only the State Public Health Laboratory can conduct tests, and other hospitals or commercial laboratories cannot due so until they get approval from federal authorities.
Bharel said it will be "very helpful" for other labs to gain that ability as council members noted the importance of further increasing testing capacity.
"It doesn't seem that 2,000 tests is going to meet the exponential curve we're seeing in other states," Bernstein said.
With Emergency Declaration, Massachusetts Adopts New Coronavirus Strategy
By Matt Murphy and Colin A. Young
With the number of cases of coronavirus more than doubling from the day before, Gov. Charlie Baker declared a state of emergency Tuesday and imposed broad restrictions on travel for many state employees as Massachusetts moved into a new phase of its response to the global viral outbreak.
Baker had been in Utah on vacation since Friday night, but opted to return to Massachusetts a couple days early as the situation on the ground worsened and the number of coronavirus cases climbed to 92, up from 41 just a day before.
Seventy of those cases, public officials said, were linked to a leadership meeting of Biogen employees in Boston in late February, but additional cases, including a handful in the Berkshires, had no known origin and are being treated as the first evidence of "community spread."
Massachusetts Public Health statistics as of 10 March.
Baker's declaration of a state of emergency puts Massachusetts in the company of neighboring states like Connecticut, New York and Rhode Island, where those state governors have already taken a similar step.
The escalation of the state's response came as a wide array of private institutions began limiting large gatherings and canceling conferences and non-essential travel, and the city of Boston canceled its upcoming St. Patrick's Day parade and the political breakfast on Sunday.
"There's no question that the efforts to mitigate the spread of this virus will be disruptive," Baker said, later adding, "I want to be clear that state government will continue to operate uninterrupted."
Baker said the declaration would give his administration more "flexibility" to respond to the outbreak, including ordering the cancellation of large events or accessing buildings to store protective equipment for first responders.
Under his order, executive branch employees will be restricted from traveling out of state for work, and the administration is encouraging employees to postpone personal international travel. He also said state workers should, if possible, work from home, and asked private employers to follow suit whenever possible. The restrictions will be revisited in 30 days, or sooner if the situation allows, Baker said.
"We are at a critical point in this outbreak. We're making specific recommendations that will have a big impact on limiting the spread of disease in our communities. These measures are based on the evidence and facts that we know about this disease and in consultation with the CDC," said Department of Public Health Commissioner Monica Bharel. "We will need everybody's cooperation and assistance. We understand that these actions may have a significant impact on the lives of our residents."
Baker said he was advising older residents and those with underlying health issues to avoid large crowds, including concert venues, conferences and sporting events, though he said he was not prepared to ask schools or professional leagues to cancel their events. He said there was still time for the Boston Athletic Association to make a call on the marathon in April.
"We think large gatherings are probably not a great idea," Baker said.
Secretary of Health and Human Services Marylou Sudders said there were 51 new presumptive positives cases to report Tuesday. About three-quarters of the total cases — 70 of the 92 — have connections to the Biogen conference in Boston last month which has been linked to dozens of infections, Sudders said, and four were directly related to international travel. The remaining 18 cases are "under investigation because they're newly reported," she said.
Fifty-two of the patients are men and 40 are women. Six of the patients are hospitalized.
Middlesex County has the greatest number of presumptive cases, 41, followed by 22 in Norfolk County, 20 in Suffolk County, seven in Berkshire County, and one each in Essex and Worcester counties.
The seven cases in Berkshire County seem to be most concerning to state public health officials because they cannot link all of those cases to recent international travel or to isolated and known chains of transmission.
"Here in Massachusetts, person to person transmission of the virus in the community is beginning to occur among individuals without identifiable risk factors," Bharel said. "As community transmission of COVID-19 becomes more common, the public health approach shifts to one of mitigation and that is reducing the impact."
At one point during Tuesday's press conference, Baker referred to "the Berkshire issue" as one of the reasons, along with the increase to 92 total cases, that he "would have to say the risk is increased." Previously, the governor and other state officials had said the coronavirus risk in Massachusetts was "low."
Bharel said DPH is assisting local officials in the Berkshires by facilitating the surveillance and testing of health care workers and patients and is in contact multiple times a day with the local authorities. DPH has also dispatched a public health expert to be on the ground in the Berkshires to assist.
The public health commissioner also announced Tuesday that the state's request last week for personal protective gear from the stash maintained by the Strategic National Stockpile had been granted.
She said DPH specifically asked for stores of face masks, gowns, gloves and eye protection from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the gear is expected to arrive "shortly." Some of it will be immediately sent to Berkshire County.
Health care providers currently have enough equipment, but the stockpile delivery will be needed to meet expected demand, Bharel said. She said the lab was running 24 hours a day and had "adequate supplies and adequate staffing" to meet demand at this time. The current turnaround time for tests is 24 to 48 hours, and the state just received another 2,000 testing kits.
The commissioner also said Massachusetts received a key approval to automate part of the coronavirus testing protocol that will increase the State Laboratory's capacity to test patients from 50 per day to 200. Bharel said the state has tested roughly 400 people since it began testing a little more than two weeks ago.
Sudders said DPH on Wednesday also will update the guidance it issued to nursing homes on Feb. 27 and will then hold a call with nursing and rest home operators to discuss the details before it is implemented statewide.
"Specifically, nursing homes will be directed to actively screen and restrict access to visitors to ensure the safety and health of residents and staff. No visitor access for anyone who displays signs or symptoms of a respiratory infection, such as fever, cough, shortness of breath or sore throat, or in the last 14 days has had contact with someone with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 or is an individual who is under active investigation for COVID-19," the secretary said.
She added, "We will also be asking rest home operators and nursing homes to confirm that their employees are not sick, they've not had travel, they've not had close proximity to sick persons, to a sick person with under investigation for COVID-19 for 14 days."
People who have traveled outside the United States in the last 14 days or who live "in a community where community-based spread of COVID-19 is occurring" will also be barred from visiting nursing homes, Sudders said. Exceptions will be made for people in end-of-life or hospice care, she said.
To give local school districts the flexibility to make decisions about temporary coronavirus-related closures, Baker said the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is going to give school systems "relief from attendance and school year requirements."
He said no school will be required to stay in session for the school year beyond its scheduled 185th day of classes and that DESE will calculate chronic absenteeism at schools — part of the state's usual accountability measures — as of Monday, March 2 so as to not count absences for the remainder of the year against a school.
Baker thanked the Legislature for its commitment to pass a $15 million coronavirus aid bill next week, and said he anticipated that a large portion of the money would be directed into communities for first responders. A Senate official said the funding bill will be flexible for the adminsitration and DPH to use as it sees fit.
Harvard University and Amherst College were among a number of higher education institutions that said Tuesday they were canceling class for the rest of the semester and transitioning to online learning for students to finish their course work.
But when asked if the University of Massachusetts or other state universities and community colleges should take similar precautions, Baker said that was the subject of ongoing discussions on the campuses.
"That's obviously very disruptive," Baker said.
Some of what the administration was recommending was already being adopted in the private sector.
The Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce announced within about 15 minutes of the governor's press conference Tuesday that "effective immediately through Friday, May 1, 2020, in-person Chamber programs and events will be rescheduled, include a virtual option, or be only virtual."
Massachusetts High Technology Council President Chris Anderson said he has spent the past several days seeking guidance from member companies about what they're doing to protect the health and safety of employees.
Anderson said, in an email, that consistent with the input he received the council will postpone all events expected to attract 25 or more attendees through April, including its March 26 Women in Leadership Initiative Roundtable and the council's inaugural MATTERS Growth and Competitiveness Conference on April 7.
The Massachusetts Democratic Party said that based on the afternoon updates from public health officials it was temporarily postponing party caucuses, which have been taking place on weekends to elect delegates to the Democratic Party Convention in Lowell in May and have been an early battleground for the Ed Markey and Joseph Kennedy III Senate campaigns.
Mayor Marty Walsh Discusses St. Patrick's Day Parade Cancellation, Sports Events
By Colin A. Young, State House News Service
Boston Mayor Martin Walsh defended his decision to cancel Sunday's St. Patrick's Day parade in Boston because of the ongoing coronavirus outbreak and said the city's progress in containing the virus will determine whether the Boston Marathon is run next month.
Walsh scrapped the parade just after the state announced that the number of people in Massachusetts who have tested positive for the coronavirus-caused COVID-19 had climbed to 41, including at least nine in Boston.
"The best way of trying to prevent the spread of it is by not having large groups of people together, particularly that there's no way to kind of watch what's going on there," Walsh said Tuesday morning on WEEI's Greg Hill Show. "So we have a parade and you have 1.1 million people coming into a neighborhood that it's very easy, potentially, to spread the virus and it's pretty dangerous."
The city's goal, the mayor said, is to contain the virus and to keep it from spreading outside of known links, like contact with other patients. Walsh said all of Boston's cases except one are tied to the Biogen executive conference held in Boston last month at which dozens of people became infected. The other positive test came from a young man who had recently returned from China.
"So there's some containment there and we don't want to go beyond that because if we do, we're in a whole different category," Walsh said. "We will be talking about canceling schools, we'll be talking about canceling a lot more than the parade on Sunday."
The big event coming up on Boston's calendar is the Boston Marathon, planned for Monday, April 20. Asked whether canceling the marathon is inevitable, Walsh said he's been talking with race organizers and "it's a day-at-a-time situation."
"I'm not saying we're there yet, I think we have many conversations to happen. It's about can we do a good enough job as a society to self-contain this where we're not at a situation where it's kind of out of our control," he said.
Though Walsh highlighted the importance of containing the virus, he also told WEEI that he expects the virus to continue its spread.
"I'm expecting that number to grow as we move forward here and this is something that's going to spread wide potentially," Walsh said of the number of positive cases in Massachusetts. At another point in the 20-minute interview, he said, "at some point, that number of 41 is going to be bigger and we're going to know somebody that has coronavirus and when it hits your house it's going to be a lot more different conversation."
And if the virus does continue to spread and the marathon is thrown into question, Walsh said he and race organizers at the Boston Athletic Association will consider the cultural, philanthropic and economic impacts of the annual event.
"The economic impact to Boston is in the hundreds of millions of dollars, so everything has to be taken into account," he said. "The conversation is, if the situation came where the marathon had to be postponed or canceled, do we postpone it? Do we move it to a new day? There are a lot of conversations."
The BAA said Monday that its leadership "continues to meet and work closely with city and state officials to ensure a safe and successful Boston Marathon … and as local and national developments come to light have been planning under the guidance of health and municipal agencies."
Asked about the possibility that the Boston Red Sox could hold their home opener on Thursday, April 2 without fans in the Fenway Park grandstands, or the Boston Bruins or Boston Celtics could begin a playoff run without having fans in the crowd to cheer them on, Walsh said those decisions would be made by the leagues.
"There might come a point where our teams are playing with no fans in the auditorium," he said. "I'm hoping that never comes, that seems to be the worst-case scenario. I don't think we're at that point yet."
The 2020 New Bedford Half Marathon Has Been Cancelled Due to Safety Concerns
In a Facebook posting this afternoon on the City of New Bedford official page it states the following:
2020 New Bedford Half Marathon CANCELLED
The City of New Bedford and the New Bedford Half Marathon Committee together are announcing that the 2020 New Bedford Half Marathon, scheduled for Sunday, March 15, has been cancelled to ensure the health and safety of residents and runners.
The risk level in Greater New Bedford remains low and there have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the area, but the unique nature of the event poses a risk that is higher than other public gatherings. The race attracts as many as 3,000 runners, including many from places where COVID-19 cases have been confirmed. At the race's starting line, runners are massed tightly in a corral in close contact for an extended period, raising the risk of disease transmission. There is similar risk to the thousands of spectators along the route and the City's emergency personnel. Under the circumstances, canceling the race is the prudent course.
New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell said, "This decision is not made lightly. The New Bedford Half Marathon is one of the oldest and most popular half marathons in the country. While no other public events in New Bedford have been cancelled, decisions regarding future public events in the city will be based on the overall risk level and the nature of the event. I wish to thank all of the volunteers who have worked hard to organize the race and I ask for their understanding, along with those local businesses that benefit from the race, that this decision is made to protect the public."
Boston's St. Patrick's Day Parade Cancelled Amid Coronavirus Spread
Colin A. Young, State House News Service
Boston's St. Patrick's Day parade has been canceled "out of an abundance of caution to ensure that we are doing what is needed to keep the residents of Boston safe and healthy" during the ongoing global outbreak of a coronavirus, Boston Mayor Martin Walsh announced late Monday afternoon.
There are 41 coronavirus cases in Massachusetts, including at least nine in Boston, the state said Monday. Walsh's office said the decision to cancel the parade, which was scheduled to step off Sunday at 1 p.m. and wend its way through South Boston, was made in consultation with other elected officials and parade organizers.
"While the risk in Boston remains low, this situation is changing very quickly and we are closely monitoring any local cases," Walsh said in a statement. "Our top priority is preventing any new cases, to the best of our ability, and we are paying close attention to guidance from public health officials."
The mayor's announcement came about three hours after the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council said that the parade "is still currently on" and that organizers "will rely on the determination of public health officials as to whether outdoor public gatherings in the City of Boston should be curtailed."
15 New Presumptive Positive Cases of Coronavirus Identified by Massachusetts State Public Health
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) today announced 15 new presumptive positive cases of COVID-19, bringing the total number of confirmed or presumptive positive cases in Massachusetts to 28. All 15 cases had a direct connection to the Biogen employee conference in late February. The presumptive positive cases include five from Suffolk County ranging in age from 30s to 60s; five from Middlesex County ranging in age from 40s to 60s; four cases from Norfolk County ranging in age from 40s to 60s; and a female whose age and county of residence are unknown at the time of this release. Among today's presumptive positive cases were eight men and seven women. With today's release, 23 of the presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 identified in Massachusetts are associated with the Biogen employee meeting held in late February. All of today's presumptive positive cases are isolating at home.
Yesterday, DPH announced five new presumptive positive cases, three of which had a direct connection to Biogen's employee conference, one with recent international travel, and a fifth case for whom there is no current known linkage to the Biogen conference or foreign travel.
The risk of COVID-19 to the general public in Massachusetts remains low at this time.
The State Public Health Lab's result is considered "presumptive positive" and the specimens will now be sent to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for confirmation.
The Department of Public Health is providing daily updates on the number of confirmed and presumptive positive cases at mass.gov/info-details/covid-19-cases-quarantine-and-monitoring. Case-specific information will be updated on the site Monday, March 9.
As of Wednesday, March 4, 719 people have been subject to self-quarantine in Massachusetts because of COVID-19. Of those, 470 people have completed monitoring and are no longer quarantined, while 249 are currently quarantined. This information is updated online each Wednesday.

Every adult should have a power of attorney (POA) for health care and a POA for property in place to ensure that, if they become incapacitated, their affairs are managed by someone they trust. People who fail to execute powers of attorney prior to suffering a disability put future decisions about their personal care, lifestyle and assets in the hands of a judge to be determined in a costly and public probate court proceeding. Lawrence Kamin's estate planning attorneys routinely prepare and often customize straightforward POAs that provide great value and security for our clients.
Our seasoned estate planning attorneys work with each client to thoughtfully structure a POA for health care that addresses a variety of issues and personal concerns: designation of an agent who will make health care decisions on her/his behalf when needed and authority to handle Medicare and Medicaid issues, financial commitments for medical care, organ donation, disposition of remains, and more. We help clients plan for tough medical scenarios and document their wishes as it relates to hospitalization and nursing home care, use of medications and end-of-life care.
Lawrence Kamin appreciates the emotional burden associated in planning for and navigating a medical emergency. We assist our clients with developing an effective and detailed POA for health care to assure that their loved ones have clarity about our clients' wishes, and are granted the legal authority and access to medical information necessary to make critical decisions when needed.
Lawrence Kamin's estate planning attorneys have developed thousands of POAs for property for individuals of all ages that effectively designate an agent to manage assets and financial affairs in the event of incapacity. Such powers can define the authority of the designee to buy and sell real estate, manage retirement and other investment accounts, file tax returns, and to oversee many other financial affairs.
At Lawrence Kamin, we understand the importance of these documents and prepare powers of attorney that empower our clients' agents to execute our clients' wishes.

Secure, private underground parking and a dedicated 24hr concierge service are just some of the outstanding facilities you can expect at Skyline.
The exceptional Skyline apartments in Bermondsey have the superior specification, attention to detail and quality finish that you would expect from award-winning house builder Linden Homes. Each stylish home enjoys a private balcony, many with fantastic views of the stunning London skyline, or terrace perfect for al fresco entertaining. Bright, light and spacious open-plan living space is complemented with a smart, sleek integrated kitchen that includes premium appliances and composite stone worktops.
For busy professionals working in the City, Canada Water or Canary Wharf a little further to the east, these properties for sale in Bermondsey are perfect, with fast and easy access to Central London and beyond. Whether you're after a home or an investment; it's an excellent choice.
In this creative foodie and cultural mecca, the tranquil location of Skyline is a well-kept secret. A short walk from the City via London Bridge, with excellent rail and tube connections less than a mile away, and the 24/7 attractions of renowned Borough Market, Maltby Street and the South Bank virtually on your doorstep - what setting could be better?
Not all that long ago, the banks of the Thames in Bermondsey, less than half a mile from Skyline, were lined with wharves and warehouses. As London's world-leading Docks gradually declined and disappeared in the 1960s, the area 'slipped off the map'. The property boom in and around the City in the early 21st century was slow to cross the river, and Bermondsey was spared the worst of the rushed, overcrowded construction.
The result is that now the neighbourhood features stylish lofts, warehouse conversions and cutting-edge commercial and residential spaces, with mature trees and open spaces in between, offering unmatched views of Tower Bridge and the City skyline.
The arrival of The Shard, Europe's tallest skyscraper, has been followed by a host of restaurants, boutiques and bars, many incorporated in sensitive conversions of old industrial and commercial buildings.
Throughout the 19th century, Bermondsey was the centre of London's tanning and leather processing industry, deemed too noxious and unsuitable for the crowded City and East End. Many street names and buildings from that era survive, including Tanner Street, Morocco Street and Leathermarket Street as well as the huge Leather Market (1833) and the Leather, Hide and Wool Exchange (1878). Virtually all are now residential or small work spaces and offices. These exclusive new flats in Bermondsey are actually located on the site of the historic Grange Tannery.
This rich cultural history has led to a unique, relaxed ambience around Bermondsey - very much one of London's best 'villages'. Bermondsey Street is in fact one of London's most ancient streets.
The position of Skyline in Grange Walk means that many local residents can easily walk to work in the City, just a mile away. Cycling is another option, with Canary Wharf (3.5 miles), Westminster (2.5 miles) and the West End (4 miles) all an easy ride.
The nearest Tube station is Bermondsey (0.7 miles, 14 minutes' walk) on the Jubilee Line, for direct services to Canada Water (5 minutes), Canary Wharf (8 minutes), Waterloo (9 minutes) and Baker Street (20 minutes). London Bridge Underground station (1 mile, 19 minutes' walk) is on the Northern Line, for Bank (4 minutes), Elephant & Castle (5 minutes) and Kings Cross (12 minutes).
Properties for sale in Bermondsey also benefit from being close to London Bridge train station (1 mile, 19 minutes' walk), which offers local services throughout south east London, and mainline services to the south and southeast, for Brighton and the Kent countryside. There are also Thameslink services through London to the north.
Excellent bus services, including Night Buses across Central London, run along Grange Road, Tower Bridge Road and Borough High Street.
London City Airport is just 6 miles away.
There are ample local amenities within walking distance of Skyline for your everyday needs.
By far the most exciting and celebrated shopping destination in the neighbourhood is Borough Market, just over a mile away. This is one of London's most popular 'foodie' haunts, offering an impressive array of fresh local produce in addition to a colourful and eclectic blend of foodstuffs from all over the world. Whatever your flavour, take your pick of bars, cafes, hot food stalls and artisanal baked goods available all-day and late into the night.
Alongside the river, and in the maze of streets en route to Waterloo and the South Bank, there's an abundance of shops, restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars to suit all tastes. Strolling from Skyline to cultural attractions such as Shakespeare's Globe theatre, Tate Modern, The National Theatre and the Royal Festival Hall is a Bankside walk through London's captivating history right up to the thriving, cosmopolitan present day.
Even closer to these flats for sale in Bermondsey is the White Cube gallery, an important contemporary art venue. This is one of many art galleries in the area, while the inspiring Fashion & Textile Museum nearby is home to regular exhibitions and a fascinating and valuable collection.
For fresh air and exercise, there are stunning parks, gardens and green open spaces surrounding Skyline. Bermondsey Spa Gardens is nearby while Southwark Park, with its lake and lawns running down to the river, is just over a mile away.

I am not a significant crossword participant, and I've began playing the puzzle that The Week magazine has recently added. CC, of the LA Occasions Crossword Nook blog was variety sufficient to interview me a number of days ago. The jury's nonetheless out relating to crossword puzzles and the prevention of Alzheimer's. CUTTER AND BUCK have been performed strictly by means of perps, didn't ( and don't) get RES for the clue Legal Thing. New York City in general is a hotbed of crosswords," says Shortz, including that that is partially because it is the intellectual capital of the nation and is residence to the New York Occasions , which has the perfect-known crossword.
There may be an extensive dialogue on Big Dave's Crossword Weblog regarding the names of on-subject officials in a variety of sports activities. Within the episode, Lisa Simpson enters a crossword competitors and turns into a wordplay obsessive. I can think of tons of ways to clue this, so a number of submissions are inspired. You don't want one with the brand new kind as long as you have a good supply of crossword words and a supple thoughts.
Should you're caught on a crossword clue, especially the NYTimes, it pays to step again for a second and see if there's another means the clue may be read. The historical past of video expertise as a method to make refereeing or umpiring calls in all sports shows that decisions could be divided into two categories. As an avid solver of standard crossword puzzles, I had long been intrigued by the cryptic crosswords that appeared beside them within the newspaper.

How A Pediatric Practice Used Social Media to Connect to Patients
The staff at Pearland Pediatrics doesn't have much experience filming videos. They're not experts in social media or digital marketing. They're still seeing patients, albeit in outdoor exam rooms bordered by oleander shrubs, and they've switched to telemedicine like thousands of other practices across the country. But patients still miss their doctors, they're bored and worried at home, and the staff is dedicated to their community -- so Pearland Pediatrics is getting creative.
About the Positivity in Pediatrics Series
This post is part of PCC's Positivity in Pediatrics series, a collection of stories about pediatricians and pediatric offices who have stories to tell about how they are surviving and thriving during the COVID-19 pandemic. We hope their unique views can inspire you to practice in the way that best serves your community.
This week, we spoke to Laurie Christensen, the office manager at Pearland Pediatrics in Pearland, Texas, a practice that's turned to posting videos on social media to connect to patients.
Why videos? Christensen says the practice learned from forums and webinars, including those hosted by PCC and the Pediatric Management Institute that videos were a great resource to connect to patients. She also says it's for a much simpler reason: "We've just seen that people want to see their providers."
"We're Seeing Anybody That Wants to Come In"
It's business as usual at Pearland Pediatrics -- almost. "We're still offering pretty much everything that we've offered before," says Christensen. "We're still seeing well visits. We're not limiting services to any certain age right now."
The biggest change is that many services are now offered via telemedicine. She reports Pearland is offering lactation, nutrition, and sick visits via telemedicine, and bringing in cases as deemed necessary, such as injuries. "We're still casting, still splinting, all that. We've done a cast on a four year old outside, in a tent."
One service that is on indefinite hiatus is walk-in appointments -- but Christensen says that patients can call and usually get a telemedicine visit the same day.
While the services are the same, the telemedicine piece is new. While the practice had discussed telemedicine before, it wasn't until the pandemic that the practice saw it was necessary to keep patients safe and keep visits coming. The process was quick. "I think we got it up in like five days."
Despite the rapid turnaround from in-person to tele-visits, telemedicine has become an important part of the practice's triage. "If we feel like we need an exam to decide what to do next or we need a swab, like maybe you have strep or maybe you have COVID, then we'll have to see [a patient in person]."
The practice has set up a tent outside for triage, and on the side of the building were some convenient oleanders that the staff uses to screen one patient from another. While the tent hasn't gone up on windy days, and the environment is new, the staff still see the bright side: "We say it comes with your lizard friends."
Pearland staff pose behind a #dreamteam sign at their office.
Christensen says that Pearland Pediatrics' strength is not on social media, but you wouldn't know it from their presence there lately. Since mid-March 2020, the practice has turned to their social media channels, primarily Facebook, sharing updates on their policies, hours, sharing useful links, photos, and most creatively, videos.
"Lately it's definitely been our way of updating everybody on what's going on during the pandemic. And the videos are definitely new, we've never done a video before and so we had so much fun doing it."
The videos Pearland has created include tours through their outdoor exam text, a walk through the building showing new cleaning and safety procedures, and staged telemedicine and drive up clinic visits so that patients can see what to expect.
A frequent star in the videos is Karen Bolton, FNP, who guides viewers through the changes with a smile on her face and a boombox on her shoulder (left) to show that while care at Pearland may look a little different, they're still "jamming along to a different tune."
"She loves doing this stuff," Christensen says, "So Karen is the one being the host throughout the video series that we did that one week. And so she helped us put all that together."
The videos were shot in one day, and compiled with help from an expert, but staged and captured by staff during a single lunch break. The patients visible in the videos are the wife and children of Dr. Brad Onhaizer, a provider at the practice.
Future Tik Tok Fame?
As the practice continues to share information on social media, they've begun expanding their repertoire to share raffles for toys and games and to post to other platforms like Instagram. They hope with help to soon appear on TikTok and continue making videos.
"So we're just doing a lot of different things to try to hit it from different angles because we still hear people say, "Oh, you are open?" Of course we're open. But the videos were to actually show them too that the office [is] open and these are the things we're doing rather than just writing it."
"I mean, if you read some of the comments -- "Oh my gosh. Thank you for everything you're doing." Or, "Oh, I had no idea."
Or things like that. And so we wanted... our goal is to make people understand that it's safe here, we're minimizing risk and you can still come in very safely. You're probably more safe here than going to the grocery."
A daily check-in chart helps staff record their well-being.
OM Christensen says managers check in when staff need a helping hand.
Christensen's final advice for other practices is to keep communication constant and consistent between staff members. As well as checking temperatures during each shift, management makes sure to communicate to remote members and to check in with staff who need a little support.
As for social media success? "Give yourself some grace to have some fun and mess up and try again because it took us quite a few takes but it was fun. Yeah, it's not going to be for everybody but you've got to find somebody in the practice that's willing because patients want to see the providers and the staff."
For more advice on patient engagement and practice management, be sure to check out the PMI Business Impact forum, where weekly webinars bring PMI's Paulie Vanchiere and PCC's Chip Hart together with pediatricians and experts to guide practice's responses to the pandemic.

Approximately 90 percent of the nation's 70 Division I programs attended the Philly Showcase to evaluate talent, and more than 20 Division 1 programs sent multiple members of their staff. Every team in last year's Division 1 NCAA Quarterfinals was represented in Downingtown.
With thousands of applications from players across the country, top high school players were selected to compete in the individual event. All eyes will be on these sophomore players this weekend as they conclude their fall season. Featured below are five sophomore-year players to look out for.
Captain of his 2020 Crabs team, Erickson is a leader on and off the field. He's a scrappy, relentless midfielder that is quick to capitalize on his defenders mistakes and doesn't hesitate to take it to the cage. He has quick stick skills, both right and left, and has a huge presence on both ends of the field. No task is too small for Erickson - he gets it done.
10. BEST ADVICE FROM A COACH/TEAMMATE: "Focus on the things you can control such as attitude and effort. Don't worry about what you can't control."
Liam is our reigning MVP from the 2016 Philly Freshman Showcase. He is a true midfielder and dominates between the lines. From ground balls to fast breaks, Fairback is going to make the play. His quick feet and split dodge from the top puts most defenders on their heels. Fairback has a tricky shot, smooth hands, and is predicted to be a huge challenge for the other players to defend this weekend.
10. BEST ADVICE FROM A COACH/TEAMMATE: "Mental toughness and heart are both qualities that cannot be taught and are essential to becoming successful in sport."
Three-sport athlete and honor roll student, Devlin is a catch for the college coaches. He's a big, fearless, tough defenseman that has mastered his sliding ability. Not only can he defend, Jack has noteworthy stick skills and knows how to move the ball up and down the fielld. Devlin is not afraid to make a hit and has the talent to maintain perfect footwork. Expect a lot of talk and caused turnovers from this sophomore!
Blanc is a versatile attackman who can also dominate the midfield. From any spot on the attacking end, Luke can find the cage. From rolling the crease, to dodging from up top, to receiving a pass inside, Blanc will get a step on his defender and stick it to the net. He has great stick skills that allow him to handle any pass he is given. Aside from his high-percentage shots, he has smart off-ball movement to help create plays for his teammates. The ball will move fast in and out of this player's stick - defenders better not get stuck ball watching!
6. SPORTS IDOL: John Grant Jr.
It's no surprise that the son of Jenny Levy, the head women's lacrosse coach at University of North Carolina, is a standout player entering the Boys Philly Showcase this weekend. He's a smart attackman that always keeps his head up. Levy has perfected his fundamentals, making him a teammate that everyone can rely on. Ryan moves the ball quickly, is always looking to go to cage, and can spoon feed his teammates an assist for a precise shot. Whoever has Ryan on their team will be happy attackers. He's a team player.

CBD oil is usually extracted from industrial hemp. CBD oil is popular for easing pain associated with arthritis. Possible short-term side effects of using CBD oil include fatigue and changes in appetite.
What precautions would you advise if someone wants to try CBD oil to treat pain? All content is strictly informational and should not be considered medical advice. The only way to verify you have quality CBD is if your product is third-party tested for contaminants and active ingredients. There should be a batch report available detailing each category. It is best to get CBD extracted from therapeutic cannabinoid-rich hemp, as opposed to cannabinoid-deficient industrial hemp, because it will be less likely to contain contaminants.
Though most report the intoxication from marijuana to be euphoric, some find it to cause great discomfort. Repeated binding to specific receptors is what produces habituation, tolerance, addiction that is associated with many drugs both legal and illegal, including opioids, benzodiazepines, cocaine, and methamphetamine. Because CBD modulates and regulates instead of simply binding, it does not produce addiction, habituation, tolerance, or reinforcement.
Rather than requiring periodic increases to regain efficacy, once a person reaches "saturation," or their "subjective therapeutic dosing level," they can stay there and in some cases even decrease to a maintenance dose.
Furthermore, because CBD is nonaddictive and does not bind to receptors, it is safe to cessate use immediately or "cold turkey" without the fear of withdrawal side effects.

Ankle and Foot Institute now offers Laser treatment for nail fungus. I am proud to announce the world class Fotona podiatry laser is here and ready to eliminate your toe nail fungus. This is the only podiatry Fotona laser system in the state of Missouri and offers superior laser physics to competing systems. Please visit www.nailfungusfixer.com for more information.
Topical medications generally do not work to clear a fungal nail infection but do offer protection to a healthy nail from fungus development. That leaves 3 options to eliminate nail fungus. The first option is an oral antifungal which will take 3-6 months of taking a pill on a daily basis. Patients with liver disease should not take this medication and there can be problems with patients using cholesterol medications. The second option is surgical removal of the nail. This option works well but involves recovery time. You can choose to have a new nail grow back (9-12 months) or the nail can be permanently removed by cauterizing the nail root with a chemical. The third option and the newest technology is laser treatment. This is a great option if you want to avoid the medication and pain associated with nail removal. Laser treatment is not covered by insurance but because I own my laser my pricing is more competitive than competing systems in the St. Louis market. Please call now for a consultation at (636) 717-1100.

Afghansk litteratur skrivs på något av Afghanistans språk, inklusive persiska (kallat dari i Afghanistan sedan 1964), pashto, uzbekiska och tadzjikiska. En stor del av afghansk litteratur är poesi. Under senare år har en stor del av litteraturen författats av författare i exil, ibland med originalpublicering på engelska eller franska.

Historik
Modern afghansk litteratur har sina rötter i den äldre persiska litteraturen. En av de viktigaste litterära verken under den "klassiska perioden" var det rimmade persiska dikteposet Shahnameh ("Kungaboken"), färdigställt år 1010 av Ferdousi.

Ända sedan medeltiden har litteratur och miniatyrmåleri i Afghanistan och Iran tillhört en gemensam kulturtradition. Många afghanska författare publiceras på förlag i Iran. Afghanska författare i exil skriver oftast på persiska.

Den afghanska litteraturen har sedan 1980-talet till stor del skapats i exil. Under senare årtionden har landet upplevt långa strider, under Afghansk-sovjetiska kriget och Afghanistankriget. Däremellan har Talibans styre av landet inneburit utmaningar för landets litteratur.

Khaled Hosseini och Atiq Rahimi är två av senare års mer framstående afghanska författare i exil. Hosseinis debutroman Flyga drake (The Kite Runner) blev uppmärksammad via en filmatisering, och berättelsens beskrivningar av våldtäkt och etniska konflikter ledde 2008 till att filmen förbjöds av regimen i Kabul. Rahimi vann samma år det franska Goncourtpriset för sin debutroman, översatt till svenska som Tålamodets sten.

Framgångarna för de afghanska exilförfattarna har också lett till ett visst uppsving för den litterära scenen i hemlandet. Där har också återvändande författare bidragit till fler förlagsaktiviteter.

Ett ökande antal kvinnor deltar i den nutida afghanska litteraturen, inklusive inom poetiska genrer som ghasel.

Sedan 2016 har unga afghaner som sökt asyl i Sverige publicerat självbiografiska berättelser, romaner och dikter på svenska och engelska.

Q: How to create two dependent dropdown (autocomplete) menu? I want my capital_city autocomplete field to show only options that are related to country_name. So when choose a country in the second option field show only cities that are related to the selected country. Thank you.
Here is my view.php:

 <form class="searchbox_1">
Country Name: <input type="text" class="search_1" name="country_name" id="country_name" />
City Name: <input type="text" class="search_1" name="capital_city" id="capital_city" />
Date from <input class="search_1" type="date" name="from_date" id="from_date"/>
Date to <input class="search_1" type="date" value = "<?php echo date('Y-m-d')?>"  name="to_date" id="to_date"/>
<button  class="submit_1" type="submit" id="LoadRecordsButton">Search</button>
    <input class ="submit_1" type="reset" value="Clear fields!">

 </form>

Here is my model.php:
 public function get_country_name() {

 $searchTerm = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'term');

  $query = $this->db->query("SELECT DISTINCT country_name FROM country "
   . "WHERE deleted=0 AND country_name LIKE '" . $searchTerm . "%' ORDER BY    country_name ASC");

 $row = array();

foreach ($query->result_array() as $ro) {
$row[] = $ro['country_name'];
}
   echo json_encode($row);
}
 public function get_city_name() {

 $searchTerm = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'term');

 $query = $this->db->query("SELECT DISTINCT capital_city FROM country "
 . "WHERE deleted=0 AND capital_city LIKE '" . $searchTerm . "%' ORDER BY     capital_city ASC");

$row = array();

foreach ($query->result_array() as $ro) {
$row[] = $ro['capital_city'];
}
echo json_encode($row);
}

Here is my controller.php:
public function list_country(){

$this->load->model('Country_model');
$this->Country_model->get_country_name();

}

public function list_city(){

$this->load->model('Country_model');
$this->Country_model->get_city_name();

}

A: you need to use the onselect option in the autocomplete in the country_name autocomplete.
Upon selecting an item in the country list, you are passing the countryid in to another function which in turn will update the city autocomplete source to pass on the selected country id.
You can use GET in your API, pass the country id to your model and get the cities that belong to that country id.
Syntaxes might change a bit depending on your jquery  version.
$('#country_name').autocomplete({
            source: 'list_country',
            minLength: 0,
            scroll: true,
            autoFocus: true
        }).focus(function() {
        $(this).autocomplete("search", "")
                .autocomplete( "widget" )
                .addClass( "country_field" );
    })select: function( event, ui ) {
        changecitysource(ui.item.country_id); // change the country id according to your source
    };

    function changecitysource(countryid){
        var newsourceurl = "http://newurl.org/getcities/countryid";
        $( "#capital_city" ).autocomplete('option', 'source', newsourceurl);
    }

Researchers at the University of Exeter in England designed blocks of glass with small built-in solar cells. Certain blocks which, in addition to allowing light to pass through, generate renewable energy.
Called Solar Squared, in addition to providing thermal insulation (a problem in common glass blocks), they allow natural light to enter buildings. They have been manufactured with the necessary technology to ensure maximum capture of solar energy.
Another advantage is that these basic elements can be incorporated into both new construction and renovations.
"Modular design is fully scalable and allows for seamless architectural integration", Say the researchers. "The simplified nature of the technology allows for the incorporation of conventional building materials, which means there are many applications."
The biggest difficulty so far has been the price. Prof. Dr. Hasan Baig points out that more than comparing them with conventional solar panels, it is necessary to add the energy savings generated by the product, beyond the value of the block itself as a material. of construction.
The blocks are in the testing phase and the Exeter team is awaiting a patent for this technology.

MYSA was originally known as the Multicultural Youth Network of South Australia (MYN-SA). MYN-SA was formed in response to a national project undertaken by the Australian Youth Policy Action Coalition (AYPAC) and the Federation of Ethnic Communities' Councils of Australia (FECCA). The project aimed to encourage the multicultural and youth sectors of each state to work together to establish a network to focus on multicultural youth issues. The network worked to raise the profile of issues facing multicultural young people and encouraged peak and government bodies to take action on specific issues and areas of concern.
In 2002 MYN-SA became incorporated and changed its name to Multicultural Youth SA (MYSA). MYSA's head office is currently located in the CBD of Adelaide. MYSA also has a second site in West Croydon and has access to several other locations where it provides outreach services to clients.

The Wolf Among Us 2 is seen with its first trailer confirming its launch for 2023 on PC and consoles
The Wolf Among Us fans had been waiting for years for news about The Wolf Among Us 2, which was canceled in 2018 when Telltale closed and it was not until the end of 2019 that the resumption of its development became official. The best thing is that after so many years of waiting we can finally see its first official trailer.
Bigby Wolf, the Ferocious Wolf, will once again be the same protagonist in this second part which, unlike the original title, will not opt ??this time for an episodic format. In this way, the day it goes on sale the entire game will go on sale, although for the moment many details remain to be revealed about what we can expect from this sequel.
Telltale's great adventure until he found the key to success… and exhausted his formula until the inevitable fall
For now, we know that it will use the Unreal Engine graphics engine or that the dubbing actors will once again be the same ones who already participated in this graphic adventure based on the Fables comics. What is clear is that our decisions will once again determine everything that will happen in the plot.
Of course, you better wait sitting down, because it has also been confirmed that its launch will take place sometime in 2023, so it will be next year when it will go on sale for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
