Takes out 3 Machine Guns, Kills 20 and captures 50 Germans – Even The Enemy Patted Him on the Back
Jun 8, 2017 Jeff Edwards, Guest Author
Left: Australian Soldiers Searching German POWs for Souvenirs, October 1918, Right: Lieutenant Lawrence Dominic McCarthy VC Croix de Guerre
One might presume a nickname such as 'Fats" was given as an insult, but when you find out a little bit more about the man that was Dominic McCarthy you will quickly realize that he is not a man you would want to mock. Born Lawrence Dominic McCarthy in Western Australia, the future Victoria Cross recipient would become an orphan at an early age and spent his youth growing up in a Perth Orphanage.
He attributed this early hardship for helping him develop the discipline that would carry him through the fire of battle. It also didn't hurt that fighting was just part of being raised with other orphan boys and McCarthy quickly learned to hold his own. A fact that the Germans would subsequently find out the hard way.
Joining the War
Remarkably, McCarthy was initially rejected when he tried to join the Australian Imperial Force that would go one to fight in World War 1 Europe. He had previously lost three fingers on his left hand in a work accident that they feared would interfere with his ability to serve. However, McCarthy was able to prove that he had won several shooting competitions and was eventually allowed to join in 1914.Posted to the 16
Posted to the 16th Battalion, it was here that he would earn the nickname 'Fats' due to his massive build and robust physique. His battalion would then be sent to Egypt where they would subsequently land in Gallipoli, which was the British, French, and ANAZAC's failed attempt to seize Constantinople. Landing in April of 1915, McCarthy remained until September that year when he was forced to evacuate due to illness. He returned in November having been promoted to Sergeant, and his unit was one of the last to be evacuated in December of 1915.

In 1916, his battalion would arrive in France where they would see heavy combat at both Pozieres and Mouquet Farm. Having become a battle-hardened Veteran, McCarthy would be promoted to Company Sergeant Major in 1917 and then become commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant a month later.
As misfortune would have it, the day after receiving his commission, he was wounded at Bullecourt and had to be evacuated to England for recovery. However, for his actions, McCarthy was awarded the French Croix de Guerre. After recovering, Lieutenant Dominic 'Fats' McCarthy was then primed for what would be described as probably the top if not second most efficient piece of individual fighting ever seen in the Australian Imperial Force. Keep in mind, he accomplished this minus a few fingers lost long before the first shots were ever fired.
Trench Warfare
On August 23rd, 1918, McCarthy's battalion was fighting near Madam Wood just east of Vermandovillers, France. When three well-entrenched German machine gun positions were reigning down fire upon his battalion, McCarthy along with two other men jumped into action and ran across the open territory to engage the positions up close.
One of the men was killed in this initial assault, and the other simply couldn't keep up with McCarthy's pace and fell quite behind. McCarthy then jumped into an abandoned trench that had been blocked. Unable to engage the gun position from that point, McCarthy tunneled a hole under the position, stuck one arm and his head in and killed the two machine gunners with a pistol.
He would then go on to climb through the hole by himself and start clearing the trench. Armed with his gun, a limited number of Mills bombs, and whatever he could scavenge from the Germans, he led a one-man assault until the other soldier from his unit finally caught up with him 700 yards from their original starting point. Throwing bombs and taking out the enemy with his revolver, he refused to be stopped.

Taking out three or more machine guns positions, killing 20 plus of the enemy and capturing over 50, McCarthy finally made contact with another allied unit. In what would become one of the more remarkable stories of this battle, it was reported the high number of German prisoners actually surrounded McCarthy, took his pistol, and then started patting him on the back as if to say that was some of the most extraordinary fighting they had ever seen.
McCarthy escorted the German prisoners back to his lines and would finally end a day that would go down as one of the most spectacular in ANZAC history.
The Victoria Cross
For his actions that day, Dominic 'Fats' McCarthy would be awarded the Victoria Cross. One can't help but think that if the Germans had an award to give him that day they would have done so as well. Opposing soldiers in combat are said to have more in common with one another than many might think, and while they might not speak the same language, they can all recognize extraordinary gallantry and heroism when they see it.
Portrait Lawrence Dominic McCarthy
For McCarthy to have been lauded by those he tried to kill seconds earlier, speaks to just how much of a warfighter this man really was. McCarthy was sent to England a few days after the war ended, to recover from influenza where he was notified that he had been awarded the Commonwealth's highest military honor.
He would receive it directly from King George V himself at Buckingham Palace and then return to Australia in 1919 a national hero. And while many have been awarded the Victoria Cross since, it doesn't appear that been another who was cheered and lauded by the enemy as well.

A mystical spirit meets travelers visiting Scotland's historic village of Braemar. The town is celebrated for its annual Highland Games, which attracts 20,000 people including the British Royal family. At the heart of this experience is the reimagined The Fife Arms Hotel, which is surrounded by the Grampian Mountains, ancient woodlands and lush grounds of Cairngorms National Park. Originally built in the 19th century by the Duke of Fife, this 46-room hotel has been meticulously restored by international art gallery curators, Iwan and Manuela Wirth. The owners fused their passions for contemporary art and Scottish heritage to create a cultural hub for the community. The hotel embraces culinary traditions by collaborating with local suppliers and gamekeepers for the freshest seasonal ingredients stemming from the region's fertile forests. The Spa is partnering with Scottish brands that use hand-harvested ingredients. Travelers will delight in expeditions to explore the countryside, landmark castles and whiskey distilleries. In the winter, some of the best skiing and snowboarding in Scotland awaits in nearby Glenshee. This much anticipated, year-round destination property is opening in December 2018.
Combining traditions of the past with best modern practices, the hotel offers 46 sumptuous accommodations across six different categories-each bedroom boasts unique furnishings and decorations. Under creative direction from renowned London-based interior designer Russell Sage and award winning Crathie-based Scottish architects Moxon Architects, the hotel is woven together from the strands of exceptional design, deep respect for local history, a love of nature and a strong sense of community. Throughout the common spaces of the hotel guests can discover new commissions from international artists, museum displays and a collection of paintings, drawings and objects narrating the history of the hotel, Braemar and Scotland.
Braemar is situated in the heart of Scotland's Cairngorms National Park and is only a 1.5-hour drive from Aberdeen airport following the stunning River Dee throughout the route.

Q: Multiply values with condition, then sum them in an array I would like to multiply each balance with its current exchange rate, then sum them in the [SUM in EUR] cell.
The C column is actually one single day, it goes from Jan 1st to Dec 24th and each day holds the current balances, exchange rates, and should also contain the sum in EUR (or any currency).

I tried multiple SUMIFS, as in:
sum if currency equals for example EUR, then multiply by EUR exchange rate, then the same as well for all possible currencies, adding them all together in the process..

A: To do this with a single formula:
Structured References using Tables

*

*exchRates Refers to the Exchange Rate table

*acctVal refers to the table showing the balances
=SUM(INDEX(exchRates,N(IF(1,MATCH(acctVal[Currency],exchRates[Currency],0))),2)*acctVal[Balance])

Since the above is an array formula, you need to "confirm" it by holding down ctrl + shift while hitting enter.  If you do this correctly, Excel will place braces {...} around the formula as observed in the formula bar
The N(IF(1,... construct is a method of obtaining multiple returns from the INDEX function
A less obscure method of obtaining the total is to add a column to your acctVal table where you compute the value in Euros of each balance, and then sum that:
The formula for EurVal is
=[@Balance]*VLOOKUP([@Currency],exchRates,2,FALSE)

The weekend saw me a bit lost on what to do.
So, I just grabbed a new sketchbook and started doodling…creatures, again.
A few month ago I mentioned that I was experimenting with abstract painting, as a way to break away from my own artistic constrictions and explore other areas of my creativity.
Well, since then I have managed to produce quite a few canvasses, put together a tumblr gallery to showcase the paintings, and opened a little Etsy shop dedicated to my abstract art.
The sizes are small for now, as I want to be able to start and finish the paintings within reasonable time, while I keep the original concept fresh in my mind.
Way too often I start a piece and end up working on it for months (if not years!), and with time I feel it looses significance.
I'm planning to start working on larger pieces, the moment I manage to clear some space in my studio and time on my on calendar.
Abstract art have such a strong impact on large canvasses.
The first exhibition I visited this year has been Grayson Perry's The tomb of the unknown craftsman, at The British Museum. It was a great way to start the year, and I am looking forward to more inspiring exhibitions.
It is a celebration of the physical act of making art and of the created object, it is a celebration of ideas and materials, and above all, a celebration of the artist as a craftsperson.
I have found it incredibly touching and inspiring. I strongly recommend it to anyone who appreciate arts, crafts and history.
It is still on, till the 26th of February.
*extract from the exhibition catalogue.
I'm experimenting with ideas, using black and white photography, and thinking about huge canvasses.
Creatures, black & white and stripes…back into familiar territory.
I have been working on a series of black paintings.
The inspiration comes from the content of my wardrobe, which consists of mostly black clothes.
The rather difficult task of looking for a specific garment is made easier by the slightly different tones, textures, shininess of the black fabric.
That gave me the idea of exploring the colour through those characteristics.
These are the first 4 of the series. They measure 6×6 inches (15x15cm), oils on linen, my medium of choice at the moment.
The overall plan is to create sixteen of them, to make a square of 4 by 4.

My past post was the game that I made for the Ludum Dare game jam. It was a text based game using the interactive fiction engine Twine. Twine started out as a modification of the HTML and JavaScript modifiable web page thingy tiddlywiki http://tiddlywiki.com .
Mostly, what you can make with it are really specialized web pages. It's all click this link to go here and click here to go back. This leads most people, rightly, to use it for creating choose your own adventure style stories and games. Ever since I learned about Twine, I wondered if maybe it could be used in a slightly different way.
Choose your own adventure books can be done on paper and they aren't significantly improved by being on a computer. The fighting fantasy series of gamebooks Incorporated information tracking and random events, but both of those can be handles with a pencil and paper, and a couple of dice. If I was going to use Twine on a computer to make a game meant to be played on a computer, I wanted to make that meaningful.
Using a computer gives you a couple of things. You can process a lot of information very quickly, and you can hide the it all from the player. That lets you create the sort of interactions you get in your pac-mans and your galagas. Fast, reactive experiences also known as video games.
Using a game creation tool like Twine that is tailored toward slower, text based, or narrative games meant that fast was probably off the table. What I could do though was use the computer's ability to process information in a way that is mostly invisible to the player.
The theme for the game jam was "running out of power" and I fairly quickly settled on the idea of a never ending chase where the only possible outcomes would be to die from exhaustion, or be caught and devoured. Fun stuff, but that is also the basic plot of Pac-Man and look at how well that turned out.
Ever since zork, I had wanted to create a text adventure, but one that changed every time you played it. For that I went the easy route and just had the computer randomly select from lists of possible descriptions, this was something that was easy to implement, but not really a great solution since that adds more writing work, and it doesn't provide any meaningful difference to the choices you have to make. Game jams aren't really about great solutions, they are about making the thing go as best as you can as quickly as you can. To that end, the random approach did it's job.
The other thing I wanted to add to the text adventure genre, was an ever changing environment. Each time you play it, it should be different. I didn't have time to come up with a better solution so I went for the random approach again. Only this time the game would select one of four maps and place you somewhere in the middle of it. The effect is disorienting and sort of annoying. That was by design and I was glad that it worked.
For the maps, I started out planning them on a grid system. I was going to build all of the possible movement directions semi manually, but quickly realized that would take way too long. Then I started to build the maps in a sort of branching series of Twine nodes (passages) but that would require a lot of custom writing to say things like "you can move left or right from here". Then I thought that maybe I could store the map in a series of arrays, since I had read that Twine could deal with arrays. After a few searches, I found that not only did Twine support arrays, it supported 2 dimensional arrays, which I did not expect, and someone else had already made a tutorial using them to create a navigation system very, very, much like the one I had thought up. So I partook of a time honoured programing tradition. I copied the code and modified it to work in my project. Now I could make maps on an x,y grid where certain cells would have custom descriptions while others would use the random descriptions for that particular map.
The whole time you play, the game is keeping track of your exhaustion and how far away the devouring hoards from you. And that's it, you move up, navigating an unknowable maze and totally fail to avoid death. That's the whole game. It's not much but coming from knowing almost nothing about Twine to making something that will run perfectly over and over in 48hours is no small task. I'm happy with how it turned out.

Landlords, can you afford to be throwing money down the drain?
In two months' time, you could effectively be doing just that if you breach new government regulations, by not meeting the new minimum energy efficiency standard (MEES) on your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
The regulation comes into effect on the 18th April 2018 – just a few weeks away.
And although we're officially sounding our two-month warning klaxon along with a fairly stark reminder, if you haven't already taken action, there's no need to get a panic on just yet.
Because we can help get your EPC rating sorted, and fast.
In a very, very small nutshell, Energy Performance Certificates are the multi-coloured certificates which tell you how energy efficient a building is. A rating is given, ranging from from A (very efficient), to G (inefficient).
EPCs give tenants and buyers a better indication of how efficient the building will be once they move in: how costly it'll be to heat and light the property, and the property's likely carbon dioxide emissions. The certificates also detail recommendations and cost-effective ways of achieving a better rating (therefore saving money), as well as what the energy efficiency rating could be if improvements are made, such as switching to energy efficient light bulbs.
Now EPC ratings may not have been at the top of your to-do, but as of the 18th April 2018, legislative changes will render properties – both residential and commercial – unlettable if the EPC rating is a grade F or G, the lowest of the energy efficiency ratings.
Meaning that if you're a landlord without a minimum rating of E on the EPC for your rental property after this date, the authorities may come a-knocking and impose a whole host of penalties, including pretty hefty fines of up to £4,000. Ouch.
In short, if your EPC rating falls within the bottom two grades, you could lose a ton of money.
I'm a landlord with a low EPC rating, what can I do?
You must get an approved Domestic Energy Assessor to produce the EPC if you're renting out your property in In England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The certificate must be produced by an accredited energy surveyor.
Don't forget: If you have an existing EPC, it has to be less than 10 years old to be valid, or you'll need to obtain a new one. And your property's EPC needs to be available to potential tenants as soon as you start to market your property for rent.
If you need to get an EPC assessment done in time for the 18th April, get in touch with us, today.


Hey Xman, not sure if this reply belongs here but I forwarded this website to a few friends/club members for a few more entries. Not sure if we were short of a full grid but you'll probably get a few more ALMS fans on board.

Bring as many as u want. We can run a few rooms.
Just want to confirm that these are on Fridays now not the Sunday or Saturday originally posted on the Forza thread.
What time of day will the races be taking place? Morning, afternoon, evening?
9 pm ET. Friday nights.
DATES HAVE CHANGED. DUE TO NFL DRAFT, I DECIDED TO PUT OFF ONE MORE WEEK SO THAT YOU GUYS DO NOT MISS THE JETS BOOING THEIR NEXT PICK!
Unfortunately, due to the schedule change, I am considering quitting the series. Fridays are just too inconsistent as far as work schedule, etc. Sunday was ideal and was exactly what I was looking for. Sorry guys.

Yes, Sundays. So I'm out of a teammate now.
Real life work, my friend. And the point was to not have guys on at the last minute. The point is so the three or four of us that do qualify racers do not spend all weekend on the hopes non qualifiers will happen to accept their race invites.

Q: Wordpress - TwenteenSeventeen picture instead of a title I'm really new in coding, especially in css. I already read some tutorials but I like to change a specific thing. For my Website I use Wordpress. I also edited a few things in my CSS which already worked. Now I can't find a answer for how I can replace the title with a custom picture.
Click here to watch a picture to understand what I mean.
Click here to acess my website.
I already tried some things, but it would be nice if someone can explain me how to do it.

A: You can edit header.php in the twenty seventeen to display only a picture.
This source code is on your wordpress server in wp-content/themes/twenty-seventeen/header.php: https://github.com/WordPress/twentyseventeen/blob/master/header.php
You'll want to replace line 31:
<?php get_template_part( 'components/header/header', 'image' ); ?>
With something like
<img src="banner.png" />
You'll have to adjust the location of banner.png to where you actually upload the image.
After you've got that working and it's basically what you want, you can wrap the image tag in a a tag so the banner links back to your home page, if you'd like.

Upstart Lady Rebels got taste of winning, looking for more
by KYLE PARMLEY
Photo by Kyle Parmley.
Vestavia Hills Basketball
Senior Anna Wood (33) is a prolific shooter and great defender.
Hewitt-Trussville vs. Vestavia Hills Basketball
Alison Stubbs (25) is one of the Lady Rebels' top defenders and one of a handful of players that can handle the ball.
Emma Smith (35) is Vestavia's leading returning scorer and is entering her sophomore season.
The Vestavia Hills High School girls basketball team began to emerge last season as a threat to beat anybody on a given night.
The Lady Rebels took a major step forward during the 2018-19 season, posting an 18-10 record and achieving consistency from start to finish. They won seven of their first 10 games, won 11 of 13 over the course of December, and won a couple of Class 7A, Area 6 games.
Laura Casey stepped down as head coach following the successful season and John David Smelser has taken the reins of what has the potential to be a high-level team in 2019-20. Smelser comes to Vestavia Hills from Tuscaloosa Academy, where he led the girls basketball program to consecutive state championships in the Alabama Independent School Association in 2018 and 2019.
"We have got a lot coming back," Smelser said in the weeks leading up to the season. "We graduated two starters (Grace Uldrich and Courtney Milner) but we're returning a lot of our scoring."
Smelser went to work in the summer and fall, installing a new system on both sides of the floor. He has been encouraged by the sense of urgency that the team has carried over from the end of last season.
"They got a taste of winning, and that's always a good thing," he said. "It brings some excitement and a little added motivation. A lot of what we talked about was how do you become a winner and what does it look like."
It didn't take long for the Lady Rebels to take Smelser's emphasis on defense. Leading up to the season, he called it a staple of the team. In Vestavia's first game of the year on Nov. 12, the Lady Rebels held Hueytown to just 18 points.
"They understand the importance of defense," Smelser said. "They're going to get after it and play extremely hard. I believe if you can get down and play defense and make it tough on your opponent, you're going to score enough points to win in most cases."
On the offensive side of the ball, the Lady Rebels are aiming to be able to attack opponents in a variety of ways.
"We want to score early if we can," Smelser said. "We talk a lot about early offense. But at the same time, if we can't get what we want early, we really want to try to slow it down and execute."
Vestavia Hills' roster features more guards than post players, and Smelser said he feels comfortable with four or five of those guards handling the ball on any given possession. Smelser envisions most of the Lady Rebels' offense coming from "four-out" sets, with four guards and one forward on the floor.
"We're guard-heavy," he said. "That can be a good thing and a bad thing. As long as we can rebound on the defensive end, we'll be a mismatch."
The Lady Rebels' top returning scorer is Emma Smith, a sophomore who has played varsity ball alongside twin Ally since they were in eighth grade.
"She can do it all," Smelser said. "She handles the ball, she can play off the ball, she can shoot. She's a leader, a quarterback out there."
Sophomore Carley Smith, freshman Anna Towry, Ally Smith and juniors Alison Stubbs and Josie Edwards are other guards that could handle the ball if needed. Smelser touted Carley Smith for her ball-handling.
Despite being a freshman, Towry will be a big part of the Lady Rebels' success this season. Stubbs and Edwards are both "very versatile" and can play any position on the floor, their coach said. Ally Smith is a "knockdown shooter," with senior Anna Wood fitting into that same category.
Down low, the Lady Rebels will rely on senior forward Arden Plugge, who recently signed with UAB to play college softball. Suzy Woodruff is another post player that is a dual-sport athlete, as she also plays soccer. Katie Kimbrough and Julie Dixon are forwards that have moved up from the junior varsity team a year ago.
Smelser said his goal entering a season is for his team to "win our last game." It may be unrealistic to expect the Lady Rebels to make it all the way to the state championship, but a regional berth — something that hasn't been accomplished since 2011 — is certainly not out of the question.
Before entering the Class 7A, Area 6 gauntlet of Spain Park, Hewitt-Trussville and Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills has plenty of challenges in the month of December. The Lady Rebels will play Helena, Grissom, Homewood, Oxford, Oak Mountain and play in tournaments at Fort Payne and Decatur.
Smelser is bullish on his team's potential to take another step this winter.
"This team is really good," he said. "They're going to be a thorn in people's side."

BREAKING NEWS: Highway 50 reopened, manhunt focuses around ravine near Glenbrook
Authorities scouring heavy brush this afternoon in the Glenbrook area for a 19-year-old Carson City man who allegedly stole a U-Haul truck and reportedly shot at officers has been spotted by Washoe County authorities, according to police scanner traffic.
At 1:17 p.m. the subject was spotted halfway down a ravine in the Glenbrook area by Washoe County deputies. It was unclear whether the suspect was seen by aircraft or personnel on the ground.
Highway 50 from Carson City to Lake Tahoe had been shut down earlier this morning as authorities continue to search for the suspect. As of about 9:50 a.m. both lanes were reopened but the pursuit continues, with a helicopter, two SWAT teams and police dogs in the area looking the suspect, identified as Roderick MacCleod.
He was last seen after he abandoned the truck in Glenbrook after it was reported stolen out of Carson City. According to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, patrol officers heard shots being fired from the U-Haul during the chase.
The vehicle went up Spooner Summit to Lake Tahoe and wound its way through the casino cooridor, with the suspect allegedly seen sticking his hand out the window as though he had a weapon.
As the chase continued officers heard shots fired from the U-Haul when it reached the Zephyr Cove area, according to a Sheriff's Office press report.
The suspect jumped into the canyon and ran straight down toward Lake Tahoe. Deputies pursued him, but lost him in the thick undergrowth. He was seen clutching a handgun as he ran from the vehicle, according to officers at the scene. A 911 call to police dispatch said the suspect was seen in the Glenbrook area. MacCleod is considered armed and dangerous.
MacCleod is described as 6 feet, 1 inch tall, weighing 140 pounds, with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a blue shirt and blue pants.
Dogs, Washoe County's Raven helicopter and the Special Operations Response Team were called to the scene to look for MacCleod.
According to Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong speaking at the scene, the truck was taken from the U-Haul store at Saliman and William streets at about 3 a.m. by at least two teens.
Authorities chased the truck all over Carson City and down into Douglas County, where one of the teens jumped out of the truck at 395 and Mica, claiming he was held hostage by MacCleod. The information has yet to be verified, according to Douglas County officers.
MacCleod barely made the turn up Spooner Summit from Highway 395, allegedly shooting at deputies as he went.
Deputies closed off Highway 50 at highways 395 and 28. Glenbrook residents were told to lock their doors.


The market believes Apple's stringent new approach for returning and exchanging in Hong Kong targets scalpers who resell products in China for profit.
Apple has recently aborted a policy in Hong Kong which allowed consumers to return or exchange products within 14 days free of charge.
Consumers returning or exchanging Apple products in Hong Kong with their original receipt and packaging will now be charged a so-called packaging fee: 15 percent of the retail price for originally packed goods and 25 percent on unpacked ones, according to Chinese reports.
The new rules apply on all Apple and Beats products purchased from Apple's official retail channels in Hong Kong. However, products purchased from Apple stores in China will continue to enjoy the 14-day return and exchange courtesy.
Apple didn't specifically explain the rule change for the Hong Kong market. But local reports suggest the Cupertino-based giant is trying to contain the rampant scalping activities between Hong Kong and China markets as Apple products in the duty-free harbor of Hong Kong are generally one of the lowest priced worldwide. Apple's latest flagship iPhone 7 Plus 128G is priced at HK$7,388 ($952) per unit in Hong Kong, $125 cheaper than the pricetag of 7,188 yuan ($1077) in China.
The stringent new policies are likely to hamper those who hoard Apple's newly released products in an attempt to resell.
Chinese customs are also cracking down on cross-border smuggling of iPhone 7 products. Travellers who bring an iPhone 7 to China for personal use will be levied tax of 15 percent of the pricetag, and those who bring excessive units of iPhone 7 to China without declaring to customs will be deemed as smuggling suspects, according to a Tencent report.
Shenzhen customs seized 400 of the handsets on its release day, according to Shanghai Daily. Some smugglers had about 20 to 30 of the smartphones taped under their clothes.


I've always been intrigued and fascinated by Prague in the Czech Republic. Because it is the epitome of classic, elegant Europe, it has always been the #1 place for me to visit in Europe. After my tour of Germany, I spent 4 days in Prague and soaked in its rich culture, architecture and history – from the Romanesque period, flourishing by the Gothic and Renaissance eras and most of all, it was the capital of the Holy Roman Empire.

Poem: "A Strong Kentucky Woman"
Let me introduce you to Alison Lundergan Grimes, who knows life is harder than Little House.
She built a "soddy" with strong hands, not as "an empty dress" hovering above the bluegrass.
This here is a pioneer woman like Rebecca Boone, rifle in hand for the mean mountain wolves.
That's how she grew up—smart and proud—but now she must face the wolves of Washington.
Big teeth, big tail, red beams shooting from their skulls, panting with heavy-tongued mouths.
Those wolves don't feast on cans of Spam or Beefaroni for their fine District dinner.
Look at them hairy tails thumping and bumping and killing babies with a twitch.
Missus, you're riding your covered wagon, yelling at those mules, stuck at an Appalachian pass.
McConnell crouches on the cliff above, dumping pails of mud so you'll never leave Lexington.
"I'm gettin' Grimes grimy," he heehaws. "Grimy Grimes! That sorry dirty woman creature!"
You could take him out with your pistol, even a slingshot, if you had less charity in you.
Knock out his eye; blow a hole in his cheek! Go on, cowgirl, distort his every feature!
You've been fighting for this moment.
They're nothing but slugs on a log and you?
Why, you're a "strong Kentucky woman."

A recovered alcoholic, Joaquin Phoenix's erratic behavior causes many to worry
Joaquin Phoenix is a famous American actor and musician who also saw the low phase in his life with an alcohol addiction. Born in 1974, Phoenix started his acting career with cameo roles in television series like 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers' and 'Backwards: The Riddle Of Dyslexia'.
Phoenix hit the big screen with his debut in 1986 called 'Space Camp' followed by other famous films including 'Russkies' and 'Parenthood'. He gained recognition for performing versatile characters in films such as 'To Die For' in 1995, 'U-Turn', 'Quills' and 'The Village'. One of Joaquin's best works includes 'Gladiator' in 2000, which got him the Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor. His role as Johnny Cash in 'Walk the Line' highlighted the versatile actor's talent for singing.
But Joaquin Phoenix personal life saw a turbulent phase when he became addicted to alcohol and found himself leading a very uncomfortable life. In 2005 Phoenix with his determination and courage to fight back, checked himself into a rehabilitation center for the treatment of alcohol addiction.
"He was uncomfortable with the way that he was living his life and found the courage to deal with his disease," publicist Susan Patricola said in a statement at the time.
According to the Daily Mail, Joaquin said he began drinking heavily during the filming of 'Walk The Line'.
"It was then that I became aware of my drinking.
"I wasn't an everyday drinker but didn't have anything else to do, anything to hold me down.
"I was leaning on alcohol to make me feel OK.
"That's what it really was."
Despite having completed rehab successfully, Joaquin's behavior has grown more and more mysterious in the past year. Quitting acting to pursue a full-time music career, Joaquin has gained weight, grown a beard and let his hair grow. Some whisper he is only a shadow of his former self. What has caused this change in the once-successful actor is unknown, also evil tongues believe he has relapsed.
His brother River Phoenix, an accomplished actor at only 23 years of age, died of a drug overdose outside L.A. club Viper Room in 1993. Only 19 at the time, Joaquin, who was partying at the club with his brother, made the call to 911.
Other celebrities with addictions include Johnny Cash, Drew Barrymore, Liza Minnelli,Lindsay Lohan and Mickey Rourke, to name only a few.

Don't Ban ChatGPT in Schools. Teach With It.
Cherie Shields, a high school English teacher in Oregon, told me that she had recently assigned students in one of her classes to use ChatGPT to create outlines for their essays comparing and contrasting two 19th-century short stories that touch on themes of gender and mental health: "The Story of an Hour," by Kate Chopin, and "The Yellow Wallpaper," by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Once the outlines were generated, her students put their laptops away and wrote their essays longhand.
The process, she said, had not only deepened students' understanding of the stories. It had also taught them about interacting with A.I. models, and how to coax a helpful response out of one.
"They have to understand, 'I need this to produce an outline about X, Y and Z,' and they have to think very carefully about it," Ms. Shields said. "And if they don't get the result that they want, they can always revise it."
Creating outlines is just one of the many ways that ChatGPT could be used in class. It could write personalized lesson plans for each student ( "explain Newton's laws of motion to a visual-spatial learner") and generate ideas for classroom activities ( "write a script for a 'Friends' episode that takes place at the Constitutional Convention"). It could serve as an after-hours tutor ( "explain the Doppler effect, using language an eighth grader could understand") or a debate sparring partner ( "convince me that animal testing should be banned"). It could be used as a starting point for in-class exercises, or a tool for English language learners to improve their basic writing skills. (The teaching blog Ditch That Textbook has a long list of possible classroom uses for ChatGPT.)
Even ChatGPT's flaws — such as the fact that its answers to factual questions are often wrong — can become fodder for a critical thinking exercise. Several teachers told me that they had instructed students to try to trip up ChatGPT, or evaluate its responses the way a teacher would evaluate a student's.
ChatGPT can also help teachers save time preparing for class. Jon Gold, an eighth grade history teacher at Moses Brown School, a pre-K through 12th grade Quaker school in Providence, R.I., said that he had experimented with using ChatGPT to generate quizzes. He fed the bot an article about Ukraine, for example, and asked it to generate 10 multiple-choice questions that could be used to test students' understanding of the article. (Of those 10 questions, he said, six were usable.)
Ultimately, Mr. Gold said, ChatGPT wasn't a threat to student learning as long as teachers paired it with substantive, in-class discussions.

Q: Laravel collection remove all keys if in any of them has value NULL For some calculation i need to remove all keys in whole collection if he has in any array NULL value.
for example
[
'butter'=>['iron'=>5, 'magnesium'=>3.5],
'salt'=>['iron'=>2, 'magnesium'=>2],
'egg'=>['iron'=>4, 'magnesium'=>NULL]
]

Because one of item is empty i need new array to be like this
[
'butter'=>['iron'=>5],
'salt'=>['iron'=>2],
'egg'=>['iron'=>4]
]

I'm not sure i can accomplish this with Laravel collection, maybe there is better way with pure php.
P.S. Sorry my english is not so good

A: I think your approach is reasonable but if you want to explore other solution here it is:
public function index()
{
    $foods = [
        'butter' => ['iron' => 5, 'magnesium' => 3.5, 'calcium' => 3],
        'salt' => ['iron' => 2, 'magnesium' => 2, 'calcium' => 6],
        'egg' => ['iron' => 4, 'magnesium' => NULL, 'calcium' => 5]
    ];
    $newFoods = $this->removeNullKeys($foods);
    echo '<pre>';
    print_r($newFoods);die;
}

public function removeNullKeys(array $array): array
{
    $innerKeys = array_keys(current($array));
    $toRemove = array_reduce($innerKeys, function ($carry, $key) use ($array) {
        if (in_array(null, array_column($array, $key), true)) {
            $carry[$key] = null;
        }
        return $carry;
    }, []);

    return array_map(function ($e) use ($toRemove) {
        return array_diff_key($e, $toRemove);
    }, $array);
}

the result will be:
Array
(
    [butter] => Array
        (
            [iron] => 5
            [calcium] => 3
        )

    [salt] => Array
        (
            [iron] => 2
            [calcium] => 6
        )

    [egg] => Array
        (
            [iron] => 4
            [calcium] => 5
        )

)

I hope it helps.

A: OK i make this code and this work like i want, but i think its ugly is there some better way with Laravel collection or in pure php
$foods=[
'butter'=>['iron'=>5, 'magnesium'=>3.5, 'calcium'=>3],
'salt'=>['iron'=>2, 'magnesium'=>2, 'calcium'=>6],
'egg'=>['iron'=>4, 'magnesium'=>NULL, 'calcium'=>5]
];

$nutrientsWithNull=[];

foreach($foods as $food)
{
    foreach($food as $key=>$value){
        if(is_null($value)&&!in_array($key, $nutrientsWithNull))
        {
            $nutrientsWithNull[]=$key;
        }
    }
}

foreach($foods as $key=>$food)
{
    foreach($nutrientsWithNull as $withNull ) {
       unset($foods[$key][$withNull]);
    }

}

print_r($foods);

and result is
$foods=[
'butter'=>['iron'=>5, 'calcium'=>3],
'salt'=>['iron'=>2, 'calcium'=>6],
'egg'=>['iron'=>4, 'calcium'=>5]
];
