Just in case you've been under a rock these past fifty years, here's a plot reminder of Rudyard Kipling's classic work: raised by a family of wolves since birth, Mowgli must leave the only home he's ever known when the fearsome tiger Shere Khan unleashes his mighty roar. Guided by a no-nonsense panther and a free-spirited bear, the young boy meets an array of jungle animals, including a slithery python and a smooth-talking ape. Along the way, Mowgli learns valuable life lessons as his epic journey of self-discovery leads to fun and adventure.
The performances are amazing. Neel Sethi can be referred as "a small bomb, but a loud blast". His performance as Mowgli was terrific. Bill Murray enacts the same lazy old bear we know, and exceeds in fulfilling expectations. Ben Kingsley satisfies on delivering Bagheera. Scarlett Johannson does not provide a performance as great as the others but is good enough. The greatest vocal performance is provided by Idris Elba as Shere Khan. He outperforms everyone with a cunning and terrifying voice, which is justified by this harsh character.
A haunting remnant from the 1967 classic, The Jungle Book blooms into unspeakable greatness in the newest cinematic retelling of a literary masterpiece. Undeniably colossal in its new form, the film stands in riveting perpetuity, both on the grounds of its incredible storytelling and its dazzling visual achievement. This Jon Favreau-helmed film thrives in the real and unimaginable, riding on the lingering reminiscent spirit of its source material and the jaw- dropping wonders of its technical splendor. Imagination propels its narrative forward, fueling its core with crippling sentiments that will surely render every heart moved.
Much of this version of Jungle Book is relentlessly stirred with chaos, but there is charm in little but sweet and serene instances. The comic effort provided is contagious, euphoric even in some scenes. The tone that the film carries might separate itself from the familiar set-ups of family films that primarily target the young audience. While it could barely boast a cerebral distinction, the salient matters driving the entire story bear some recognizable sophistication, giving itself a familiar depth that utterly deserves commendation. The film manages to navigate itself toward a satisfying finish even in the midst of its imposingly devouring visuals.
Thank you. Do check this one out!

The call came in late summer of 1943 from President Franklin D. Roosevelt, asking for 3,000 volunteers to take on a "hazardous and dangerous" mission that likely would result in heavy casualties. It was shrouded in so much secrecy that the World War II soldiers would not even be told where.
Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill had decided at the 1943 Quebec Conference to form a secret American commando unit to penetrate deep behind enemy lines in Japanese-held Myanmar (then Burma). The Americans would be greatly outnumbered and face monsoons, mosquitoes, miles of mud and jungle maladies.
Knowing about the dangers mattered little to Gilbert Howland, a Boston native who enlisted in the U.S. Army when he was 18 and had been training in jungle warfare in Trinidad and Panama since then. Although Howland, then 20, was about to begin a much-anticipated leave, he rallied to the cause.
"You did your duty," Howland said. "I wanted to go with my buddies from Panama, so a bunch of us signed up — 124 out of 500 soldiers who were there."
Today, 75 years later, the 95-year-old New Jersey retiree wants everyone to remember the service of the 5307th Composite Unit 16 (code name ''Galahad''). The unit, which fought in the jungles of north Burma, would later be known as ''Merrill's Marauders,'' named by a war correspondent after their leader, Brigadier Gen. Frank Merrill.
On Feb. 27, Howland will return to where it all began, Pittsburg's Camp Stoneman, once a major Pacific Coast staging area for troops. During his visit, the former Marauder will present a plaque to the Pittsburg Historical Society and lay a wreath at the museum's Camp Stoneman sign in honor of his comrades. Before shipping out, 2,000 of the Marauders were housed at the camp — other fighters would come from New Caledonia.
To recognize the Marauders' achievements behind enemy lines, Congressman Peter T. King, R-New York, in January also introduced a bill, H.R. 906, that would award them the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor. A similar bill is being reintroduced in the Senate.
Jonnie Clasen, Merrill's Marauders liaison, whose late father Vincent Melillo was a Marauder from Georgia, is helping to promote the award.
"We'd love to have the men awarded the Congressional Gold Medal during the 75th anniversary year of their 1944 'expendable' combat mission in Burma," she wrote in an email. "There were 28 Merrill's Marauders still alive when the bill was (first) introduced in the 114th Congressional session. Now … there are only 13 living."
Bob Howland, Gilbert's son, agrees.
"We need to make a push while these guys are still alive," Bob Howland said. "We designed the plaque to commemorate the soldiers and we're bringing it to Camp Stoneman because that is where it started — that's where it all came together."
None of the volunteers knew the objective of their classified mission, but while at Camp Stoneman, they were taught how to identify Japanese planes and boats, the elder Howland recalled.
"While we were waiting to ship out, we stayed fit by doing PT (physical training)," Howland said. "I remember playing a lot of poker and dice and being entertained by bandleader Louis Prima."
Marauder Robert "Bob" Passanisi, 94, of New York, recalled the scene as their ship was preparing to leave San Francisco.

"As we approached the gangplank for the Lurline, a couple of officers we hadn't seen before stopped each man to ask what their MOS was. Up until that time, no one knew what our specialties were."
Just days after the Lurline sailed out of San Francisco Sept. 21, 1943, the ship's captain assigned 19-year-old Passanisi, who had a radio communications MOS, the responsibility of broadcasting the ship's nightly music request show.
"I had accidentally learned our 'secret destination' but could not share that information with the men," Passanisi said. "So, I selected the theme song for the nightly music show as the 'Song of India' to give them a hint."
Shortly after the volunteers arrived on Oct. 29, 1943, in Bombay, India, their mission became clear. They were soon sent to the Burma border for what would be two months of intense jungle training with the British, who previously controlled the area. By February, they would be the first American troops in the war to engage the Japanese on land in Asia.
Howland recalled getting his first dose of combat reality early on in the four-month mission to oust the Japanese when his platoon was fired upon inside a bamboo grove.
"They got wind of us and came in the night," he said. "The next morning they hit us. I heard the enemy firing at the bamboo. I heard the pop, pop, pop just like 'Cops and Robbers,' except this was real. That's when I realized I was in a shooting war, and all hell broke loose after that."
Positioned well on the edge of the stream, the unit only lost one soldier to enemy fire that day — "Smiling Jack, the gunner," Howland noted.

"We didn't stay there too long — you can run out of ammunition quickly," he said, noting the soldiers or mules had to carry everything, with only parachute drops for food rations and new supplies.
"We were on the move a lot, and we were always lucky," Howland said. "We hit the Japanese and they didn't even know we were there."
The soldiers used ponchos to fashion "half a tent," but often woke up with leeches around their ankles, necks and belts, he said.
"I didn't get much sleep at night — you slept on your feet walking," Howland joked. The best sleep was when they found some elephant grass as a "mattress," he said.
A corporal in charge of two eight-member machine gun units, Howland always made sure someone was alert by tying a rope around the gunner's ankle and yanking it in the night to keep him awake.
While most of their mission was "hit and run" — they clocked 1,000 miles during their four-month tour — his 2nd Battalion "Green Team" at one point held the ground at Nphum Ga, a mountaintop village with two trails. It was there during heavy fighting that Howland would be wounded in the shoulder and four of his men would be overrun and bayoneted by the enemy.
Howland was only hospitalized for a few weeks when he was called to rejoin his battalion, this time to secure Burma's critical Myitkyina all-weather airfield. Near the mission's end, with most of the troops killed, wounded or, in most cases, struck down by malaria or other jungle diseases, the "walking wounded" were called upon to complete the last task.
"I got malaria so bad, but I went back in," Howland said. "If your temperature was 103 or less, they said you were OK."
Even so, Howland said he was happy to be back with his troops.
"They did their job because that's what they did," said Howland, who later re-enlisted, serving in Korea and Vietnam and retiring after 30 years under his belt as a Master sergeant E8.
"That's what makes this group so special," he said.
In 1962, the movie "Merrill's Marauders," based on the exploits of the jungle warfare unit of the same name, was filmed on location in the Philippines directed by Sam Fuller and starring Jeff Handler.
In the end, the original Marauders numbered only about 100 able-bodied men, with 93 killed in combat, 30 dead from disease, hundreds wounded or missing, and more than 1,900 struck down with jungle illnesses. They had traversed a thousand miles of jungle, mountains, rivers and bush, and won five battles and 30 skirmishes against the elite Japanese 18th Division.
"I think we did a good job for FDR," said Howland, a triple Combat Infantryman Badge recipient. "He was a good president. I wish we had him now. I would give him some money to get him here — he was a crackerjack."

Mahout

A mahout is an elephant rider, trainer, or keeper.[1] Usually, a mahout starts as a boy in the family profession when he is assigned an elephant early in its life. They remain bonded to each other throughout their lives.[2]
The word mahout derives from the Hindi words mahaut (महौत) and mahavat (महावत), and originally from the Sanskrit mahamatra (महामात्र).
Another term is cornac or kornak, which entered many European languages via Portuguese. This word derives ultimately from the Sanskrit term karināyaka, a compound of karin (elephant) and nayaka (leader). In Telugu, a person who takes care of elephants is called a Mavati; this word is also derived from Sanskrit. In Tamil, the word used is pahan, which means "elephant keeper", and in Sinhalese kurawanayaka ("stable master"). In Malayalam the word used is paappaan.
In Burma, the profession is called u-si; in Thailand kwan-chang (ควาญช้าง); and in Vietnam quản tượng.
EquipmentEdit
Fig. 6. Antique steel hook used by elephant riders of the empire of the Great Mogul
The most common tools used by mahouts are chains and the Goad Aṅkuśa (or ankus,[3] anlius) – a sharp metal hook used in the training and handling of the elephant by stabbing the elephant in the head, and in areas like the mouth and inner ear, where the animal is most sensitive.[4]
In India, especially Kerala, mahouts use three types of device to control elephants. The thotti (hook), which is 3.5 feet in length and about 1 inch thick; the valiya kol (long pole), which is 10.5 feet in length and about 1 inch in thickness; and the cheru kol (short pole).[5]
Elephants, and therefore also mahouts, have long been integral to politics and the economy throughout Southern and Southeastern Asia. The animals are given away per request of government ministers and sometimes as gifts. In addition to more traditional occupations, today mahouts are employed in many countries by forestry services and the logging industry, as well as in tourism.
In India there has been controversy over elephants attacking mahouts and villagers due to the torture some elephants endure from their mahouts, especially during festivals. More than 90% of the elephants in Kerala, for example, are not obtained legally.[citation needed]

The Singapore Zoo features a show called "elephants at work and play", where the elephants' caretakers are referred to as "mahouts", and demonstrate how elephants are used as beasts of burden in south-east Asia. The verbal commands given to the elephants by the mahouts are all in Sinhalese, one of the two official languages of Sri Lanka.
A shop display advertising "Mahout" cigarettes features prominently in the background of the "rain dance" sequence of the 1952 Gene Kelly film Singin' in the Rain. The word "mahout" also features in the lyrics of the song "Drop the Pilot", by Joan Armatrading.
George Orwell's essay "Shooting an Elephant" discusses the relationship of an elephant to its mahout: "It was not, of course, a wild elephant, but a tame one which had gone 'must.' It had been chained up, as tame elephants always are when their attack of 'must' is due, but on the previous night it had broken its chain and escaped. Its mahout, the only person who could manage it when it was in that state, had set out in pursuit, but had taken the wrong direction and was now twelve hours' journey away..."

The Likud Connection
Europe's Right-Wing Populists Find Allies in Israel
Islamophobic parties in Europe have established a tight network, stretching from Italy to Finland. But recently, they have extended their feelers to Israeli conservatives, enjoying a warm reception from members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition. Some in Israel believe that the populists are Europe's future.

Anders Breivik's 1,500-page manifesto is nothing if not thorough. Pages and pages of text outline in excruciating detail the ideological underpinnings of his worldview -- one which led him to kill 76 people in two terrible attacks in Norway last week.
It is a document which has led many to question Breivik's sanity. But it has also, due to its myriad citations and significant borrowing from several anti-immigration, Islamophobic blogs, highlighted the deeply entwined network of right-wing populist groups and parties across Europe -- from the Front National in France to Vlaams Belang in Belgium to the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ).
But recently it has become clear that Europe's populist parties aren't merely content to establish a network on the Continent. They are also looking further east. And have begun establishing tight relations with several conservative politicians in Israel -- first and foremost with Ayoob Kara, a parliamentarian with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party who is also deputy minister for development of the Negev and Galilee districts.
The reason for the growing focus on Israel is not difficult to divine. "On the one hand," Strache told SPIEGEL ONLINE in a recent interview, "we are seeing great revolutions taking place in the Middle East. But one can't be totally sure that other interests aren't behind them and that, in the end, we might see Islamist theocracies surrounding Israel and in Europe's backyard."
In other words, in the battle against what right-wing populists see as the creeping Islamization of Europe, Israel is on the front line.
'More Sensitive to the Dangers'
Many in Israel see it the same way. Eliezer Cohen, known in Israel by his nickname "Cheetah," says that leftist parties in both Europe and Israel have lost their way. Cohen, a decorated Israeli air force colonel now in retirement, is a former member of the Knesset with Yisrael Beiteinu, the hardline nationalist party led by Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman that currently governs together in a coalition with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party.
"Right-wing politicians in Europe are more sensitive to the dangers facing Israel," Cohen, who gave a keynote address during Dutch right-wing leader Geert Wilders' visit to Berlin last October, told SPIEGEL ONLINE. "They are talking the exact same language as Likud and others on the Israeli right. I'm too old for bullshitting -- we hope the right wing wins out in Europe."
Kara sounds no different. "I am looking for ways to lessen the Islamic influence in the world," Kara told the Israeli daily Maariv in June. "I believe that is the true Nazism in this world. I am the partner of everyone who believes in the existence of this war."
At first glance, the European populists' relationship with Israel would hardly appear to be a marriage built on love. Many see the FPÖ as being just one tiny step away from classic neo-Nazi groups and the same holds true for their partners throughout Europe. While such parties insist that they are not anti-Semitic -- Strache claims that he takes a close look at populist parties' stances toward Israel and Jews before he enters into partnerships with them -- it is not difficult to find indications of extreme, anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic vitriol from within the populist party membership rolls.
Andreas Mölzer, for example, a member of the European Parliament for the FPÖ who has recently changed his tune to defend Strache's approaches to Israel, edits a weekly called Zur Zeit which is replete with attacks on Israel. Following its incursion into the Gaza Strip in late 2008, the paper accused Israel of acting in "the Talmudic spirit of annihilation" and that it was trying to "finally annihilate the open-air concentration camp of the Gaza Strip in the spirit of the Old Testament."
'Neo-Nazi Millionaire'
Indeed, when it comes to the FPÖ, observers of the party say the embrace of Israel, however far to the right it is taking place, is an insincere effort to establish foreign policy credibility. "The strategy is clearly that of normalizing itself, of becoming socially acceptable," Heribert Schiedel, an expert on the FPÖ with the Documentation Center of Austrian Resistance, a foundation which monitors right-wing extremism, wrote in an e-mail. "We presume that anti-Semitism remains a fundamental part of the party's ideology."
Many in Israel would tend to agree. And Kara was blasted in the Israeli press for a recent meeting in Berlin he held with Patrick Brinkmann, a German right-wing populist. "Deputy Minister Meets Neo-Nazi Millionaire," read a headline in the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth earlier this month, noting that Brinkmann, while now insistent that he is not anti-Semitic, once had close ties with the right-wing extremist National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD). Following a visit to Vienna in December to meet with Strache, Vienna Jewish community leader Ariel Muzicant published an open letter in which he demanded that Netanyahu fire Kara.
The primary focus of the FPÖ's political message, however, is -- like that of populist parties from the True Finns in Finland to the Lega Nord in Italy -- one of extreme skepticism of Muslim immigration. The groups are opposed to the construction of minarets, convinced that Europe's future is threatened by high Muslim birth rates and certain that the Christian West must defend itself from Islam.
"For decades, politicians in Europe have ignored demographic developments and we are now in a situation where we have to warn that we are experiencing the Islamification of Europe," Strache says. "We don't want to become an Islamic society."
Geert Wilders, who hit the headlines in 2008 with his virulently anti-Muslim film "Fitna" in 2008, pioneered the European populist-Israeli connection that same year. He has been back to visit Israel several times since.

Things for '10: Where Will Nintendo Stand?
written by Staff Writer 27 December, 2009
To end 2009 and to go into a new decade, Eoin Mason has taken it upon himself to predict things you should look out for in the next 12 months, first off with the leader of the console war right now with much to prove after a mixed 2009.
2009 was a good and bad year for Nintendo. It turned major profits and sold consoles and handhelds like they were candy laced with caffeine but, on the Wii at least, there was nothing really to show for it apart from the brand favourites, Wii Fit and Wii Sports Resort.
The only thing they have going for them in the first quarter of 2010? The DSi XL. That, to me, kind of says it all. As much as the DSi is a great handheld and I love mine, Nintendo has barely provided anything to make people get a DSi instead of a DS. People did not like the taking out of the Game Boy Advance drive nor did they see the point of a camera in their handheld. It may be aimed for a different audience, which is a fine business practice, but there is nothing as stand out in the same way as, say, Nintendo doing a Wii Remote/Wii Play bundle. It has been more about good ideas with mediocre execution for Nintendo in 2009.
With Project Natal being Microsoft's answer to the Wii Remote, Should Nintendo be looking over their shoulder?
So why Nintendo and not Sony and Microsoft as the one to watch? Because at this stage in the game, Nintendo have more to lose.
Sony and Microsoft, as companies that make virtually nothing from their game consoles or games development, are patting the door of Nintendo's fortress. Eventually, this will turn to kicking with their own wireless controllers coming out next year and with more and more games coming out for different audiences on both the 360 and the PS3, Nintendo's got something to prove to not just the gaming community but also to its own critics who say of how Nintendo have forced their hardcore to go to their rivals and how .
Along with that, the ambitions of Microsoft and Sony are not to be just a console. They want to be the box in your home. Project Natal has been promoted not just in the games media, but on such places as network television shows like NBC's Today Show and Microsoft has been the leader, too, in integrating social network onto its XBox Live service with Facebook, Twitter and Last.fm already joining Netflix in enhancing the experience in using the console.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 is one of the most anticipated Wii titles of 2010. The question is will it be one of the very few?
Nintendo, at this stage, does none of this apart from very minor bits and pieces (The most recent DSi update allows users to send their pictures online via Facebook). Part of the reason is because they don't need to and the other reason has been they want to enhance their own experience of being a games console. It plays games, it allows you to download games and, minus the web browser and BBC iPlayer, not much else. For them, this has always been an MO and it will be interesting to see whether this MO will last them through 2010 considering the competition is building their own major forts against Nintendo's powerful juggernaut.
But maybe Nintendo doesn't care about the amount of consoles they don't sell or the pennies they don't make when they're selling so much and making so much money, but what people should be watching for is what Nintendo do to counter the upcoming threat. There's Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Team Ninja's Metriod: Other M and the possibility of a new Zelda and…that's it. That's all Nintendo have that stands out for the Wii. I mean, there might be an expansion for Wii Sports Resort or some kind of new fangled device to rival Microsoft's Project Natal, but when you think of the Wii in 2010…that's all you're going to get. Red Steel II, as surprisingly good the first game was, isn't a console seller so something major will have to happen to shift the balance away from Nintendo's faltered reputation.
Animation Screenshot from The Another World, Studio Ghibli's first video game for the Nintendo DS.
On the flip side, there is a tonne of potential in upcoming Nintendo DS titles coming up including Phantasy Star Zero, Ace Attorney: Miles Edgeworth Investigations, Nostalgia (UK Release), Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver, Dragon Quest IX, the latest in the Professor Layton series and, the most hotly anticipated of them all, The Another World, by Layton developers Level 5, which is the first DS game to be created in collaboration with Studio Ghibli who many will know as the home to legendary Japanese Animation director Hayao Miyazaki. Then, as I mentioned, is the DSi XL, which has surprised many by selling buy the bucket load in Japan and will be judged on how well it is marketed in the West when it comes out there in the first few months of 2010. That's not even counting the surprises that can and will spring up because they will happen. I mean, who would have thought a Grand Theft Auto game on the DS would actually be not just good, but damn great to play?
Over the last two years alone, it's been demonstrated what can be done with the DS when people separate themselves from just making gimmicky touch screen games. Something you kind of wish Nintendo tried with the Wii when you think about it…
Also keep an eye out for…
Sony: The slimming down of the PS3 in terms of look and price will probably be seen as a genius move on the part of Sony as they see sales shoot up on the console for the first time in a couple of years. Their momentum will lead them to 2010 with God of War III, Heavy Rain and many other exclusive titles in the first quarter alone. The PSP side is also very interesting as, now they are pushing the PSP more and putting more exclusives and content onto it, we might be seeing Sony finally kick things into gear to fully compete with the DS.
Microsoft: Their lineup next year may not pack the punch of Sony and the PS3, but you should never count the software giant out. Natal will be watched with keen eyes in a gaming world filled with cameras, skateboards and band kits to see how much it will last and there is always a possibility that Halo: Reach could draw in the big money in the same way Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 did this year, Microsoft going as far as saying it will be the biggest game of 2010. Not to forget, of course, that their E3 conference will probably contain more guest cameos then a whole season of Robot Chicken.
Activision-Blizzard/EA: In 2007, EA had a reputation of rehashing franchises and putting out game year after year. In the couple of years after that, EA tried to shift itself towards creating original ideas and making them mainstream in the hopes of shifting this reputation with varying degrees of success but there is no disputing that this shift has caused many job losses in the company. The question is where to go from here? They have said they want to bring back 'Medal of Honor'
In 2009, Activision now have this reputation with more Guitar Hero games, more accessories and more rehashes then ever before. Even with the success of Modern Warfare 2, this stigma cannot be shaken. With more Guitar Hero games, a DJ Hero sequal and rumours of a Drum Hero game, will the buck stop on Activision's cash cow? It also doesn't help that Bobby Kotick is the most hated man in gaming right now.
Talking about Blizzard, Starcraft 2 and Diablo III should be coming out next year and the latest World of Warcraft expansion is right around the corner so there is no doubt they will still be making money. All questions with those will point to how they sell, Starcraft and Diablo more then WoW, because of how long it has been since the last games have come out.
And then there's that small matter of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm…

Q: Add Codepen animation as Preloader to WordPress I found a CSS animation snippet on Codepen, and would like to add it in my WordPress site for preloader animation.
I have seen similar question being asked on here , but I couldn't resolve this from the available information there. I want to know:
1) In which location should I add the codepen html code?
2) In which location should I add given CSS?
3) And in which location should I add any required JS to make it work like it happens here?

A:
1) In which location should I add the codepen html code?

If you're using a child theme, then for example, you could copy parent theme header.php file to your child theme directory and add the required html to that file after <head>.
If you're developing your own theme, then put the markup wherever you want on.
Or you could also add the markup with an action hook (e.g. wp_footer or theme specific action hook, if available). This could be added to your theme's functions.php file or a custom plugin file. Something along these lines,
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'prefix_my_preloader' ); // or other suitable template hook
function prefix_my_preloader() {
  ?>
    <div id="cooking">
      <!-- rest of the markup -->
    </div>
  <?php
}

2) In which location should I add given CSS?

Styles can be added either to your (child) theme's styles.css file, Customizer's Additional css section (if available, but maybe not the best option), or a custom css file that is located either in your (child) theme or custom plugin directory. Remeber to include the styles if you're using a custom css file.

3) And in which location should I add any required JS to make it work
  like it happens here

Scripts can be added either to your (child) theme's scripts.js file or a custom js file that is located either in your (child) theme or custom plugin directory. Remeber to include the scripts if you're using a custom js file.
P.S
You can also add the styles and scripts with custom functions using action hooks as mentioned on the accepted answer for Add CSS animation as Preloader to WordPress. You would then add these functions either to your (child) theme's functions.php or a custom plugin file.

It's August, 90s greats are hitting the Cincinnati music scene, the Olympics are starting (August 5th), and we are all beginning to settle into our new roles. The beginning of a new year with new responsibilities can be exciting, terrifying, and exhausting, often all at the same time. It can be hard to make time to take care of yourself, especially on shift. Basic ADLs like using the bathroom and eating often go by the wayside. This month, we want to focus on tips for eating on shift.
Remember, these tips are guidelines. We will frequently do the exact opposite of these recommendations, especially during post-overnight breakfasts (aka 7 and 8). Wellness is all about balance. This month, try incorporating 1-2 of these recommendations into your daily shift routine and see what works for you!

On the eleventh day of the eleventh month at the eleventh hour the cry Oleda and other "Hello Girls" and our soldiers in 1917 heard: La guerre ç'est finie!
Here in the Detroit metro area it took a day to appear on the front page. I'm going to give it in two sizes to help show both the headlines and a bit of the front page articles. My apologies for the imperfections of bringing this hundred year old front page to you, but think you will appreciate not only the war articles, but a few other bits that made it onto the front page.
Here is a photo of the "Hello Girls" switchboard in Paris at the peace talks.
Oleda was 150 miles away at the headquarters of the American Expeditionary Force, where General Pershing preferred the U.S. military to be based "Over There."
While any war ended is to be celebrated and the Veterans certainly should be remembered as we do every November 11, unfortunately we know it was naive to say it was the "War to end all wars." Pray for our military and our veterans living with the aftereffects of their service.

Card-sharp Adam is a box of tricks
TOP illusionist Adam Dadswell has become one of the youngest members of the Magic Circle.
TRICKS of the trade: Adam Dadswell has been accepted into the Magic Circle after wowing magicians with his skills
The 20-year-old Rams-bottom illusionist said: "I first got into magic when I was in London and saw a show at Covent Garden.
"It became an obsession to find out how it was done and started practising from there.
"I practice a few hours a day and have been progressing more and more over the years. It is quite a unique thing to be doing at my age.
"I like people like Derren Brown and have just been to see him in a show. He has been a big inspiration for my work.
"I have read quite a few books and watched DVDs but they are quite secret to the public."
Adam, who studies IT and media at Lancaster University, decided to join the Magic Circle to help hone his skills and be recognised as a talented magician.
In order to win a place in the society Adam had to have a number of interviews, sit an exam and present a 12 minute magic performance in front of up to 30 other members.
He added: "It is something I had put together myself. It was a kind of predicition thing from the start and I then did a bit of conjuring and card tricks.
"Joining is a big deal and kind of says you are a professional now. It says you are up there and have the ability.
"You have to be 18 to join the society but I have been told that I am one of the youngest members."
Adam, who lives on Brooksbottom Close during the holidays, is now hoping to turn his hobby into a career.
"It is now on the cards to do as a career and am going to a bit of work with one of my friends who runs a mobile DJ business and call ourselves the Double Deckers."

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the new Star Wars spin-off, is to undergo several weeks worth of reshoots this summer.
Much of the cast and director Gareth Edwards will regroup in mid-June for another round of shooting, with Disney deciding to order reshoots after executives reviewed an initial cut of the film.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the goal is to add more light and humour to the story and increase the sense of fun. There is also a rumour than Alden Ehrenreich, newly cast as young Han Solo, will be given a small cameo.
The movie stars The Theory Of Everything's Felicity Jones, The Last King Of Scotland's Forest Whitaker, Milk's Diego Luna, Casino Royale star Mads Mikkelsen, Dragon's Donnie Yen, The Sun Also Rises' Jiang Wen, Firefly's Alan Tudyk and Exodus: Gods And Kings' Ben Mendelsohn and has been directed by Godzilla director Ddwards.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will be released into cinemas on December 16th this year.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is out now on DVD and Blu-Ray and the Blu-ray will be accompanied by a string of bonus features.

2SLGBTQ+ History Month
Author: Tl McMinn
October is a busy month in regards to 2SLGBTQ+ awareness days; there are upwards of 8 different days to look out for depending on where you live. October is also LGBT History Month in Canada, the United States, and Australia. It was created by Rodney Wilson, a Missouri high school teacher in 1994 who believed there should be a month to celebrate and teach about 2SLGBTQ+ history (LGBTHistoryMonth). The following year, LGBT History Month was included in a list of commemorative months (UCF Today).
The month of October was selected to coincide with National Coming Out Day (Oct. 11) and the anniversary of the first National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights on October 14th, 1979. LGBT History Month is meant to encourage learning about 2SLGBTQ+ histories and milestones, which is important because this community is not widely taught in schools, homes, or religious institutions. LGBT History Month aims to provide role models, build community, and make statements about national and international civil rights contributions.
To help highlight the key days that make up LGBT History Month, we provide a breakdown of each day and its importance.
International Lesbian Day | October 8th
International Lesbian Day is celebrated on October 8th and is primarily celebrated in New Zealand and Australia (but definitely not restricted to those areas!). The exact origin of the day is contested, but it is believed to have started on March 8th, 1980 when a Lesbian Day March was held in conjunction with International Women's Day in New Zealand. The move from March 8th to October 8th, exactly six months after International Women's Day, is thought to have happened sometime in the 1990s.
According to a Gallop 2020 Survey, lesbians make up 0.7% of total U.S. adults and 11.7% of 2SLGBTQ+ U.S. adults, but like heterosexual women, lesbians are grossly underrepresented when it comes to leadership positions (FairPlayTalks), and even having 2SLGBTQ+ markers on a resume can influence whether they get called for an interview. Overall lack of opportunities for employment and/or promotions have a huge impact on a person's life and mental health – one study found that 7.6% of lesbian couples live below the poverty line, as opposed to the 5.7% of heterosexual couples.
National Coming Out Day | October 11th
National Coming Out Day began in 1988 and occurs every year on October 11th. It was inspired by the 1987 March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights, which also took place on October 11. The day is grounded in the philosophy that the personal is political (meaning that personal experiences can be traced to one's location within a system of power relationships), and that the most basic form of activism is coming out to family, friends, and colleagues. The foundational belief is that homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia thrive in silence and ignorance, however, it is also important to remember that it is not always safe for individuals to "come out of the closet" and identify as 2SLGBTQ+ (especially those within marginalized communities). All decisions, whether to be out or not, need to be respected.
Almost half (46%) of LGBTQ workers in the United States are closeted in the workplace and nearly two-thirds (59%) of non-LGBTQ employees believe it is "unprofessional" to discuss sexual orientation or gender identity in the workplace (Catalyst). These are the types of attitudes that make it unsafe to be one's authentic self at work, which can impact a person's productivity and their commitment to stay with the company (The Williams Institute, McKinsey & Company ).
International Pronouns Day | October 20th, 2021 or every 3rd Wednesday in October
International Pronouns Day began in 2018 and seeks to make respecting, sharing, and educating about personal pronoun use commonplace. A person's personal pronoun (she/he/they/ze/etc.) is a reflection of how that person sees themselves. Being referred to by the wrong pronouns, also known as "misgendering," is particularly harmful towards transgender and gender-nonconforming people as it invalidates that person's lived experience(s). Research has shown that there is a 29% decrease in suicidal ideation and a 56% reduction in suicidal behavior when transgender youths are referred to by their chosen name and gender. However, it needs to be stated that not everyone will feel safe sharing their pronouns because they are not "out" yet, they may still be questioning how they see themselves, or it may be that it is simply too much to explain in one or two words. A refusal or passing on sharing pronouns should not necessarily be seen as an act of aggression, it may simply be another act of self-perseverance (The Crimson).
A 2016 Out & Equal Workplace Survey found that 73% of all Americans agreed that employers should learn everyone's pronouns and preferred name and use them in the workplace. Always do your best when addressing a colleague – mistakes do happen, but continued misuse of someone's pronouns and chosen name can be seen as acts of aggression and invalidation. And remember that asking people to use pronouns at work in and of itself is not a DEI strategy, this act should be accompanied by learning and policy changes that protect people who may be "outed" through pronoun use.
Spirit Day (Anti-Bullying) | October 21st, 2021 or every 3rd Thursday in October
Spirit Day began on October 20, 2010, as an anti-bullying movement commemorating 2SLGBTQ+ youths that have been lost to suicide. 2SLGBTQ+ youth continue to face disproportionate rates of suicide due to bullying and harassment. A 2017 GLSEN National School Climate Survey found that 48.7% of 2SLGBTQ+ students have experienced cyberbullying and 70.1% of 2SLGBTQ+ students report being verbally harassed.
Although Spirit Day is primarily directed at youths, bullying and harassment do not have an age limit – a 2018 study found that up to 38% of lesbian, gay, and bisexual employees reported being harassed at work and 27% reported discrimination based on their sexuality. A study by the Trans Equality Network found that 78% of transgender employees had reported being harassed at work and in one Public Service Employee Survey (PSES) 29% of gender-diverse respondents experienced harassment in the workplace.
Intersex Awareness Day | October 26th
Intersex Awareness Day started in 2004 as a grass-roots action to end shame, secrecy, and unwanted genital cosmetic surgeries on intersex children. Intersex "is an umbrella term for differences in sex traits or reproductive anatomy … [to which] there are many possible differences in genitalia, hormones, internal anatomy, or chromosomes, compared to the usual two ways that human bodies develop" (InterActAdvocates). Before Intersex Awareness Day, the first demonstration was held on October 26, 1996, to protest the annual conference of the American Academy of Pediatrics, denouncing non-consensual infant genital surgeries and demanding the medical industry to take notice.
Intersex individuals are not as uncommon as people once thought and are estimated to be 1-2 in every 100 people born in the U.S., yet there are few other statistics regarding intersex individuals, and even less regarding their position within the workplace. However, by making sure that intersex identities are included in your policies and DEI work and encourage further learnings and training regarding this often overlooked community, you can begin to make your workplace a safer place for intersex individuals (4Intersex).
Asexual Awareness (Ace) Week | October 24-30th, 2021 or the last full week of October
Asexual Awareness Week (now known as Ace Week) began in 2010 and was originally an awareness campaign primarily targeted towards 2SLGBTQ+ communities and their leadership because asexual and aromantic identified folks felt unheard within the larger 2SLGBTQ+ community. Representing an estimated 1.7% of sexual minorities, asexuality is still seen as a relatively "new" sexual identity (even though asexual individuals can be found throughout history), however, asexuals reported more everyday discrimination and stigma than non-asexual LGB people.
Ace identified folks often feel invisible in relation to the larger 2SLGBTQ+ community and the heterosexual community. It is crucial to make sure all employees feel safe and comfortable in their working environments. One way to do this is rethinking who benefits from policies such as parental and bereavement leaves. Having additional forms and policies that support caretakers as well as parents can help support, not just ace identified folks, but all those that are not parents but have other responsibilities. Similarly, ensure that bereavement benefits are not limiting and include "a member of your immediate household" or "part of your primary support network" to be more inclusive of all individuals, including ace identified folks (WeAreAmplify).
Review your pay parameters to ensure that all individuals, regardless of identity, are paid equally and fairly for their work.
Make sure your anti-harassment and discrimination policies are up to date and include 2SLGBTQIA+ identities to ensure protection for all employees, also review the process for making claims, answer claims promptly, and take all claims seriously.
Start integrating pronoun use into everyday conversations when you are meeting with new people, but don't make it mandatory, just suggest that they share their pronouns if they are comfortable.
Review policies to ensure workplaces are inclusive for intersex people and ace identified folks may not and may never find themselves in a marriage or romantic type of relationship.
The importance of these days can't be understated, and holding an educational event, workshop, or panel discussions that teach about 2SLGBTQIA+ lives is important, but it needs to be done right. These types of events should be delivered by those with lived experiences in these communities and should only be your first step to systemic change. Policies need to be reviewed for biases or exclusions, language may need updating, and educational opportunities need to continue past the awareness date.
Incorporating these awareness days and other DEI solutions into your organization is essential but they should only be one piece of a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategy. DEI work is meant to dismantle the inequities that these months and days aim to address, but to do this you need a full-out strategy on how you can implement systemic change and Lunaria Solutions is here to help. Book a meeting with one of our associates to learn how we can help you achieve this!

Q: How to retrieve and print (or echo) data from database? I managed to achieve specific database array order, now I'd like to print it in proper combination, but I have no idea how the 'foreach' loop should look like.
What I have now is:
$textfields = get_settings('test_testbutton');
if (!empty($textfields)) {
    foreach ($textfields as $textfield) {
        ?>

            <input type="text" id="<?php echo $value['id']; ?>" name="test_testbutton[0][]" value="<?php echo $textfield; ?>" placeholder="Input Value"/>
            <input type="text" id="<?php echo $value['id']; ?>" name="test_testbutton[1][]" value="<?php echo $textfield; ?>" placeholder="Input Value"/>
            Remove

    <?php
    }
} else {
}

I really don't know how to change 'echo $textfield' and make it work. I tried adding [] to '$textfields' value and then echo $textfield[] or $textfield[0], but with no success :(
I attached a .jpg file to make it more understandable.
attachment

A: After your update. It seems that you forget a foreach. I hope it's helpful to achieve what you want.
    // Following your dump
    $textfields = array( 0 => array( 1234, "qwer", "abcd"), 1 => array("5678", "tyui", "efgh"));

    if (!empty($textfields)) {
        foreach ($textfields as $textfield) {
            // First loop : 0 => array( 1234, "qwer", "abcd")
            // Second loop: 1 => array("5678", "tyui", "efgh")
            foreach ($textfield as $oneValue) {
                // Loop on the second array $textfield
            }
    }

A: The Text in the attached image is a serialized array, so if you want to use foreach on this text you have to unserialize it, then an array will be created
$arr = unserialize($textfields);

A: I think this will help you and it will work :)
$textfields_data = get_settings('test_testbutton');
if (!empty($textfields_data))
{
    $textfields = unserialize($textfields_data);
    $i = 0;
    foreach ($textfields as $textfield) {
        ?>

            <input type="text" id="" name="test_testbutton1_<?php echo $i; ?>" value="<?php echo $textfield[$i]; ?>" placeholder="Input Value"/>
            <input type="text" id="" name="test_testbutton2_<?php echo $i; ?>" value="<?php echo $textfield[$i]; ?>" placeholder="Input Value"/>
            Remove

    <?php
    $i++;
    }
}
else
{
}

Herbalism can be defined as the use of plants for the detoxification of the body, support of the immune system and prevention of disease, and for the treatment of ailments, chronic illnesses and injuries. The idea is to use herbs to restore balance in body, mind and spirit and maintain a naturally healthy human system; the achievement of holistic health in other words.
The earth is an ecosystem whose components exist in equilibrium, and the human system is a microcosm of this complex organic arrangement. From this point of view we can look at ourselves as cells in the body of an earth which breathes the same air as we do, has the same minerals at its core and whose vascular system is the rivers and their tributaries which carry water, just as our arteries and veins carry blood. From this point of view it naturally follows that the earth supplies all of the nutrients and medicines necessary for its inhabitants to live healthily. Plants deliver a vast proportion of the goods.
The roots of the holistic approach to health possibly lie in folk medicine. Folk medicine refers in part to the use of indigenous plants by a native, rural population for the maintenance of health and curing of ailments. The people of the mountainous regions of Vermont, for example, have often chewed gum from the spruce tree to cure a sore throat. It seems safe to say that the spruce tree would not be available to help the inhabitants of a desert region to cure a sore throat, but there will be an indigenous plant somewhere in the area that can do the same job, and the local people will know which one it is. The plants used in diverse regions of the world are different, but folk medicine is the same everywhere, insofar as the tradition is passed down unmodified over generations by word of mouth. Those who pioneered these traditions originally learned about the plants by observing which ones animals chose to cure their own ailments.
Today we can follow in the footsteps of our ancestors by looking for herbs in our own locality. The very act of getting outdoors and acquainting yourself with the natural world is in itself beneficial to health. Fresh air and the fragrance of flowers, the sound of birdsong and the breeze rustling the leaves, the hum produced by industrious insects going about their business on a miniature scale, the sound of running water-not forgetting moments of utter silence-are all simple sensory delights which have a calming and therapeutic effect on the human psyche and are available to everyone.
Holistic healing recognizes this and seeks the integration of the human being with its natural environment. If you haven't got time to go out exploring the fields and woods then you can grow herbs in your own garden. If you don't have a garden, or suffer from any condition which restricts your ability to move around, you can grow them in pots.

That said, there is a lot of great things coming to our platform that will benefit our Drivers and their mission to earn on their own time. We aim to live our promises to our customers because we value their trust, therefore we will never make a promise we can't keep. See below for just a few features coming to the Driver app.

Driving with MILES you'll earn more by comparison than working with other ride share companies. We have a system that was designed to put more money in your pockets, while also offering fair rates to our Riders.
From our fare structure to our concern for Driver earnings to our personal attention to user issues ensures that our Riders and Driver partners will be continually satisfied with our service offerings.
Further, with members of our managing team having been both Riders and Drivers of Uber and Lyft, we possess an honest perspective on these issues.
Lastly, we ensure that our Drivers are fully aware of how they earn money, how we earn money, and how much we bill our customers - because that's the dynamic of a true partnership. Being transparent with our partners allows us to maintain an open and honest dialogue concerning the fairness in compensation and treatment of our valued Drivers.
Who doesn't like bonuses, guaranteed earnings and control over their finances?
When you drive more, you earn more, both through trip volume, random bonuses, and rewards. Also, with some of our unique technology we have ways for you to lock in your work for the day.
As a Driver the benefits are endless, you aren't just succeeding at financial freedom, if you got in early, you've secured one of a limited amount of Driver spots, which means you're an exclusive partner with the best ride share service in Philadelphia.
You probably think we're crazy, don't you? We aren't, we promise. But we understand that commission cuts directly into your earnings.
But to be fair, the commission system was implemented to help support ride share platforms, also it is considered your fair share of contribution for your ability to receive trips on these platforms. However, we agree that commission doesn't have to be so egregious.
However, we've discovered some very creative ways to drastically reduce or completely eliminate this cost and put more money in your pockets.
Commission and fees are certainly not going anywhere, but we believe there is a better way to obtain these resources while not burdening our Drivers.

Wheelchairs? No problem. Before Sunday's Super Bowl between the Patriots and Rams, a Nashville rehab center held its own version of the big game.
Of course there were some nerves for a group that had never done something like this. McCord Molisha certainly felt them.
Everyone did. The event, which featured three-on-three flag football on a makeshift field that spanned about 10 yards in the venue's dining room, had it all: cheerleaders (who were also in wheelchairs), the national anthem, an announcer, T-Rac (the Titans mascot who signed autographs before the game), and a close, grind-it-out game between Molisha's Bordeaux Titans and the Bordeaux Cowboys.
It was Bordeaux's first time holding such an event for its residents, who began practicing about two weeks before the big game.
"At first they were a little, you know, like, 'How are we going to play football?'" said Bordeaux quality of life director Morgan Cothron, who organized the event. "And as soon as we got them out here practicing, they were like, 'Can we keep doing this after the Super Bowl? Can we keep playing?' And I was like, 'Sure. Bring it on. We'll do whatever you guys want.' So we pushed them a little bit to get them out and then once they started, I mean they would still be in here playing. So yeah, they loved it."
Players wore eye black and tie-dye shirts with their team names on the front. Some used motorized wheelchairs, while others got by with the help of aids pushing them.
No, there wasn't any downfield passing, but players still put on a good show by taking handoffs for big gains.
"As long as you keep playing, you're never going to really grow old. You're never going to really feel old," Cothron said. "That's what we kind of try to do with our residents. We try to get them outside of their box, help them embrace their lives. We just really love doing things like this and giving them that opportunity to not worry about being in a wheelchair."
For the game's participants, that was an important takeaway.
"It'll give other people in wheelchairs confidence," said James Guest, one of three members of the winning Titans. "More confidence."
The game itself was a true grinder, with both teams tallying 14 points by the end of regulation. It came down to field goals — as in whichever team could throw the small Nerf football through a blow-up field goal post the most times. After the Cowboys went 1-for-3, the Titans sealed the win by converting their first two attempts.
"It's a good win," Molisha said. "I know we were going to win because we're Titan fans and we represent our home team, the Tennessee Titans.
"Can't wait to do it again."
