Mason Greenwood says Marcus Rashford is biggest inspiration at Man United
Mason Greenwood says Marcus Rashford is his biggest inspiration at Manchester United.
With 19-year-old Greenwood on the same path that Rashford walked just a few years earlier, the duo have plenty of similarities.
It means Rashford is on hand to give Greenwood advice whenever it is needed.
Speaking to World Soccer Magazine, Greenwood said Rashford's recent experiences can help him as he tries to establish himself in United's first-team in the same way.
Greenwood also praised his 23-year-old teammate's recent charity work, pointing to it as an example of what sort a person Rashford is.
Tap to play
He said: "He's come through the same pathway as I am following at the club, he's helped me a lot, and it's so good knowing he's done the same.
"He's been in my position and knows how it feels, so it's nice to have someone like that with me and to look up to and play with.
"He's a good lad. We are all proud of him and it's amazing what he's trying to do for people."
Greenwood is the latest youth product to become a first-team regular at United.

The striker argued that this pathway from academy football to the Old Trafford first-team is vital for young players, revealing how inspirational it can be for academy youngsters to see players given chances in senior football.
"I think the pathway is really important," he said.
"That is clear at Manchester United with Scott McTominay, Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and obviously Paul Pogba coming through those ranks.
"The pathway is clear to see, you just have to take your chances and go for it."

Step 1Combine the flour and salt in a food processor and add the butter, processing until the butter is the size of peas, about 15 seconds. Drizzle in the water, a tablespoon at a time, and process just until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill 1 hour. Bring the dough to cool room temperature before rolling it out.

Texas State Trapshoot Targets Amarillo July 5-10
The 2011 Texas State Trapshooting Championships, a six-day, clay-target shotgun event from July 5-10, places Amarillo at the bull's eye of the target for top shooters from the region.
The Texas State Shoot is one of the sport's most prestigious events. Shooters will compete in three disciplines: singles, doubles and handicap. Singles and doubles each feature five skill levels, all shot from 16 yards behind a clay-throwing automatic "trap" machine, which throws targets away from shooters. Handicap is shot from distances ranging from 18 to 27 yards behind the trap house.
Clay targets will be thrown from machines on seventeen fields from sunup to sundown for the six-day championships. A total of a half million clay targets will be used in the event.
All three events will feature age-based and women's divisions.
"We are expecting a record base of four to five hundred shooters competing for bragging rights as well as trophies and prizes plus qualifying for positions for the national shoots held later in the summer," Steve Camarata, president of the AGC Board of Directors, says.
"We expect this event to provide a significant economic boost this summer— more than $400,000," said Jerry Holt, Vice President of the Amarillo CVC. "In fact, the Amarillo Gun Club is a real economic engine for Amarillo thanks to all the local and regional events it hosts."
One of America's longest operating clay target facilities, the Amarillo Gun Club has been in its present location (4521 S. Osage St.) for over 50 years. The club offers recreational skeet, trap, and "five stand" for its members, and it also hosts a number of charity events throughout the year.
Public parking for the Texas State Trapshoot Championships will be in marked lots south of the Gun Club entrance.

Kelantan's New Mosque Criticised For Its Unnecessarily Expensive RM23 Million Design
Fadzly Hanaffi
In Gua Musang, Kelantan, the development of a new mosque mimicking the structure of the Masjidilharam mosque in Mecca is currently underway.
With an allocation of more than RM23 million, the mosque is set to become the latest landmark of Kelantan that would ideally attract more tourists to the state.
Netizens, however, have mixed feelings on the matter. But it seems that most people are mentioning the same thing; the money could be invested in more critical areas of the state instead.
One netizen tweeted, "Imagine how RM23 million could be used for clean water and state development but no, Kelantan needs to show that the state is the gateway to Kaabah."
In all fairness, she does have a point.
Her tweet which has garnered more than 2.7k retweets and 2.3k likes, saw others beginning to sing the same tune.
Not all were against the idea of developing a mosque to attract tourists, one stated that Gua Musang does not face the same problems as those in the other districts of Kelantan.
"It is funny when you mention our water issues because we do not have that problem in Gua Musang. Try to look at it in a positive light. We are building mosques, not something that is haram."
The issue with that statement is that it's plainly false.
Earlier this month, 14 Orang Asli people died from health issues related to water contamination and lack of health care in Gua Musang — the same area where the new mosque is proposed to be built.
According to a post on Quora, Kelantan has witnessed an abrupt halt in development, exuding a feel similar to that of areas in the southern border of Thailand.
Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng recently mentioned that the state of Kelantan is the largest recipient of Federal-aid totalling RM913 million in the form of financial deficit assistance and advance fund assistance.
We sincerely hope that the state government will place the rakyat as their priority when it comes to spending funds instead of splurging on things they do not need.

Twelve golden stars on a deep blue field. Soon to fly alongside the national emblems in twenty-five states, with more than a dozen more conceivable in the medium term. Why should hundreds of millions of citizens want to join their futures to this project?
Are Europe, and its Union, just shorthand for peace and prosperity? Normality? Is that enough? What did the dissidents of the East want, when they wrote that they yearned for the return to Europe? High taxes and state day care? Is that all?
What hopes and dreams are bound up in that simple band of stars?

1. The recognition that a sovereign, independent Germany is an environmental hazard, and should therefore be put in a foreign-policy straightjacket.
2. The recognition that France cannot be a great power on its own. It needs to build a team.
3. East Europeans' desire to be rich and free of Communist oppression.
4. Poorer countries' desire for pork.
5. The desire of everyone else not be isolated.
6. Politicians' desire to pursue policies without the people getting in the way.
I can't see it that harsh than Danny does. I'm sure points of what he mentiones come in there at some points, but not as a main reason. I like to see it in a practical way – it's maybe one way to make sure that inner-European war won't be an economical win-situation.
You simply can't afford to go to war with your neighbours because they also are your biggest export customers and so on.
I'm sure there must be dozens of possibilities to look at this topic, but this is one I like really much.
Are you sure, your own position is any less harsh/cynical than Danny's perspective?
Anyway, I believe you are both right in looking more at the pratcical value of the arrangement than at some obscure "European vision".
Lilly, you surprised me, though. From your earlier posts I had pictured you as a member of the "loony left" (excuse my bluntness). Well, as it turns out: left maybe – but sure not loony.
How about the freedom to upstakes and move to any one of the other 24 states if you fancy a change?
Very few institutions are founded, or persist, because of the aspirations people have for them. The EU was founded, in substantial part, as a way of integrating Europe in such a way that the wars and abuses of the past would be difficult to reproduce. To enslave nations to fear of their neighbours is hardly better than ruling them by force. Tight interdependency makes war harder to conduct. Freedom of movement makes dehumanising other people harder. Knowing that there is a standard for human and political rights that transcends your own state makes it harder to swallow political abuse. That is what eastern Europe lacked under the communists.
The main insight into the founding of the EU was, and still is, the degree to which American prosperity derives from economic integration, and not some unique American value system. As far back as the 19th century, Europeans marvelled at market relations that could bring Minnesota iron and West Virgina coal together to make Pennsylvania steel. This was, explicitly, the thinking behind the European Coal & Steel union.
However, none of these practical and cyncial points have any impact on people's aspirations. My aspiration is for a Europe where people coexist and recognise each other's human dignity, equality and political and social rights without respect to geography, cultural heritage, nominal citizenship, or ethno-linguistic identity and to do this **without losing those distinctions**. I want this for Europe because I want it for the world and I want it for me, and because it has to start somewhere. All those more mundane reasons are why it makes sense to start here.
Of course if this is the reasoning Scott, it does rather beg the question of who the US will team up with when China and India really step on stage. I mean it is too small…………in a world of…………?
Incidentally, Canada was never a super power. Does that make the people less happy?
Without being any the less European, this is my aspiration for the planet. Meantime, and in the here and now, we could think of asking the Spanish government how all this applies to the Basques.
Well, I did say aspirations don't necessarily have anything to do with what keeps stuff working. They may not always correspond to what actually happens either.
As far as I can tell, integrating the Basques into the Spanish identity isn't on anybody's political agenda anymore. At least that's progress.
As for what the Americans will do when US population and wealth aren't enough make them more than a second tier state… Well, heck, if I could predict the future I'd be rich. I suppose when the time comes, we'll start hearing all about the importance of the Atlantic Alliance from the White House again.
I think we need to be careful about this Scott. I don't agree with some of the more alarmist criticisms of the PP here in Spain, but I would certainly say that respect for the Basque identity in Madrid has gone backwards in recent years. The sitaution vis-a-vis the Catalans is very different.
Since 'the war on (internal) terrorism' is still just about the number one item here – leaving things like pension or labour market reforms way way out in the cold – the political dynamics have become rather preoccupying. There seems to be no real dialogue any more between Basque nationalist politicians and their Spanish equivalents. No one, on either side, seems to be interested in finding a constructive way out. The Basque government seem to be trying to achieve a truce with ETA through the holding of a referendum about 'self determination'. In this they obviously get no help from Madrid, who have no 'political dimension' to their approach. It's a bit like the UK Northern Ireland policy in the Thatcher years, with the difference that PP politicians regularly raise the temperature with a 'you're a fascist' jibe or two thrown in the direction of mainstream Basque politicians in a way the 'good lady' would never have done to the middle of the road NI catholic ones.
It seems no-one is interested-in or cares-about a real solution. Short term electoral interests are better served by maintaining the conflict. Meantime Spanish society continues to be obsessed by it. One anecdote as an example. A couple of weeks back I went to the cinema with my wife to see the excellent (plug, plug) Michael Winterbottom's 'In This World'. When we arrived there was an enormous queue and my heart sank. They've all had the same idea, I thought. Disillusionment didn't take long in arriving, I was easily able to buy tickets, and when they opened the doors, most of the 'punters' disappeared into the main venue to watch Julio Medem's 'La Pelota Basca': two hours of interviews with every conceivable interested party about the conflict, saying the same things, giving vent to the same incomprehension, and the same disinterest in really finding a way out, that we've been witnessing for the last 30 years. (Of course, to add to the theatrical side, the film has been denounced by the Minister of Culture as an 'incitement to violence'). Meantime at least we were able to watch a good and innovative film in the relative comfort of a half empty cinema.
The sad thing is that I'm sure all this indulgence will have a price which goes even beyond the various dead and mutilated every year. Spain needs to think about it's future, not it's past. And if you follow what I am saying, you can read between the lines and see why I'm not very optimistic about a real democratic Iraq anytime soon.
The thought was also there that integration of coal and steel would make war between W European countries thoroughly impracticable but remember too that European countries had each emerged from WW2 with a ramshackle legacy of national trade barriers and, in mainland Europe, huge farming sectors in terms of employment by the standards of America or Britain. It was evident the legacy trade barriers would hinder economic growth and that the farming sectors would have to contract as manufacturing sectors grew. In the event, the labour surplus in farming provided an initial flexibility in job markets that was lacking in Britain at the time of the Rome Treaty (1957).
It seems the Anglo-Saxon economies have been doing rather well over the last decade compared with the Eurozone – and the Belgian finance minister did say in 1995 that monetary union was about "preventing the encroachment of Anglo-Saxon values" in Europe as the preface to Bernard Connolly: The Rotten Heart of Europe (1996) reminds its readers. We need perhaps to consider the respective competitive advantages of the differences in institutions, such as stronger creditor protection in the Common Law systems of the Anglo-Saxon traditions or whether the corporate disciplines imposed by finance based capital markets create more powerful incentives for improving economic performance than those of bank based capital markets.
Arguably, the reduction of trade barriers through successive international trade rounds – like the Uruguay Round completed in the early 1990s – have reduced the economic incentives for forming regional trading blocs, which may help explain growth in secessionist tendencies within the EU, such as the Basque region in Spain, Corsica in France or the platform of the Northern League in Italy. Those who give due weight to Adam Smith's insight: "the division of labour is limited by the extent of the market", will doubtless observe that European markets continue to be differentiated by differences in languages, cultures and social security systems. The evidence is that the introduction of the Euro seems to have had only a limited impact so far on reducing cross-border price differentials in the Eurozone.
What's I'm especially sceptical about is the value of some over-arching European aspirational goal, possibly rather like creating the "virtuous society" envisaged by Roberspierre in 1789.
Quite right to look at the actualities, Bob, but you should not do so by cherry-picking. The UK's performance in the Eurozone was better than France's or Germany's, but on a par with Austria, Denmark, Spain, Finland, Belgium and Greece, and well below the Netherlands, Portugal, Norway, and Ireland. It also behooves a closer look at countries such as Nigeria that inherited the "Anglo-Saxon value system" part and parcel, from governmental system down to legislature, and fail to be stunning successes.
These secessionist/autonomist tendencies are not growing: they have deep historical roots (Basqueland, Catalonia, Corsica, Sicily) and are actually losing steam: most of these regions are settling (or have already settled) for semi-autonomy instead of independence. Which is not necessarily a good thing: the EU needs a good kick in the arse every now and then to remind it that it isn't always the cat's pyjamas when it comes to representing the will of its inhabitants.
I was just quoting from Martin Wolf, a lead economics columnist in the FT, but you have revived an important insight. Small country economies can behave very differently to large national economies because, among other factors, it is usually much easier to enforce a corporatist consensus in a small economy than a large one.
The stellar performance of Ireland's economy in the EU has been widely commented on. Besides a centralised system of wage bargaining, Ireland has the lowest tax burden among EU countries – defined as tax revenues as a percent of GDP. By some data, Ireland also has the greatest inequality of income distribution in the EU and there could be a lesson from that, however disagreeable it might be.
The corporatism of Austria's broadly-based centrist coalition governments is also familiar territory for those who follow European news. Perhaps rather less familiar is the astute observation of a Belgian academic on the BBC commenting a couple of years back on the success of the Vlaams Blok in the last elections for the Antwerp city council. The trouble with virtually permanent broadly-based coalitions in government is that electors who want to register a protest vote have no other alternative but to vote for extremist parties in elections. There is much to be said for a tradition of Parliamentary government with a dedicated opposition party capable of forming a credible, alternative government.
On the Netherlands, we have this: "Real wages increased only very slowly, at less than 1 per cent a year on average between 1979 and 1990. Wage differentiation between various sectors remained very low compared with other countries." – from Bart van Ark et al in Nicholas Crafts and Gianni Toniolo (eds): Economic Growth in Europe Since 1945 (CUP, 1996), p. 331.
It was unthinkable in Britain during the 1980s to enforce such an effective incomes policy as would have constrained growth of real wages to less than 1 per cent a year however much that could have facilitated the reduction in unemployment rates in the early 1980s, which were then much higher than in most other EU countries. But since end 1995, Britain's standardised unemployment rate has been lower than in France, Germany or Italy and the employment rate higher. Just in the news today, the inflation rate in the Eurozone is running above the ECB's adopted ceiling of 2 per cent. Perhaps there are lessons from that too.
Bob, as a test of a value system, just using recent years is also a questionable sample. If I recall correctly, the western European continental economies grew a good deal faster than the UK's and USA's from 1948 to the early 80's and the Japanese and Korean economies performed very well between the war and the early 90's. Current performance is not an indicator of future performance.
Edward, I'm not particularly on top of Spanish politics, but I do know language politics, and Basque is doing pretty well on that front. It is increasingly seen as a success in the language policy business. I should also add though that just because those are my aspirations for Europe, that certainly doesn't mean that they are everybody else's. Belgium certainly has its fair share of people who would disagree with my goals, so it would hardly surprise me to find that people think differently in Spain too.
Absolutely right – and why that happened is challenging but there is no particular reason for believing the same factors and influences applied in the USA as applied in Britain. What most can perhaps agree on is that for better or worse the election of the Conservatives to government in 1979, with Mrs Thatcher as prime minister, did make a difference.
Up to 1979, the Conservatives and Labour had almost equally shared out the time in government since the end of WW2 while Britain – and the US – regularly featured around the bottom of the international growth league tables for the affluent market economies. For much of the period there was a broad consensus between the two parties on the main thrust of government policies with differences for the most part more often matters of detail and nuance than fundamentals.
Both parties went along with top marginal tax rates on income in the 80 to 90 per cent range, both went along with a substantial part of the business sector of the economy remaining in state ownership, both accepted various combinations of controls on currency movements across the exchanges. A Conservative government in the early 1960s created the National Economic Development Office and Council, corporatist institutions if ever there were and introduced in emulation of what the government took then to be the essence of the French planning system. In the 1960s, both Conservative and Labour governments made applications to sign up to the Treaty of Rome but without success because De Gaulle vetoed the successive applications on the grounds that Britain's perspectives and international attachments were overly Atlanticist. After De Gaulle's death in 1970, Heath's Conservative government in the early 1970s succeeded in negotiating accession to the EEC.
The election of Mrs T as prime minister in 1979 fractured the post-war consensus. Tax rates on income were dramatically cut down, controls on currency movements were abolished and her governments famously pioneered a programme for privatizing state owned business. Legislation was brought in for curbing trade union bargaining power which still largely remains in force today. For all that is said now about Mrs T, she and her governments were enthusiastic proponents of the European Single Market.
In the course of the 1980s, Britain's economy moved to somewhere near the top of those same league tables for GDP and productivity growth in which it had previously languished near the bottom. As readers can easily discover, if they have not already learned, Mrs T still excites strong political passions in Britain even though her term of office as prime minister ended in 1990 at the instance of her political colleagues.
Reversion to Anglo-Saxon attitudes in government in Britain dates from her time in office. When her first industry minister, Sir Keith Joseph, a Fellow of All Souls, Oxford, moved into his department in 1979 he circulated a reading list for his senior civil servants. Somewhere near the top was Adam Smith: The Wealth of Nations (1776). The thing is that the industrial revolution was pioneered in Britain without state direction or control but that reading list was still the topic of animated discussion in the late 1990s.

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Shares Image of Visitors Spray Painting Trees
Eric Meier Published: July 6, 2021
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore via Facebook
Visiting a National Park or Lakeshore like Pictured Rocks, you expect to see nature in its pristine condition.
That's why many were rightly saddened when the park's social media shared an image of a spraypainted tree.
Here's what the park shared:
The social media account shares, correctly, there are many more productive and less juvenile ways to share your adolescent feelings. Those who commented on Facebook agreed.
What a selfish and despicable act towards nature!!
Sorry but anyone who brings spray paint with them into the woods simply shouldn't be allowed to be in the woods - "this is why we can't have nice things"
It's bad but it's probably better than carving a heart in the tree. This will eventually wash off at least
Probably the same brain dead fool who feels the need to stack rocks in the creeks. It's a shame the world is so full of idiots.
Now that last point is a good one. The spray paint may age off over the years while the common practice of carving names or initials into a tree would leave a lasting impression.
Speaking of 'not having nice things' as another commenter pointed out, some Michigan Department of Natural Resources sites were closed indefinitely recently to deal with a rash of trash left in parking lots and common areas.
So what's your take? An act of disrespect to Mother Nature or a harmless gesture?
There's no spot in Michigan that's too far from a national or state park, so where's the best place in the state to live? Here are some suggestions.
LOOK: Here are the 25 best places to live in Michigan
Stacker compiled a list of the best places to live in Michigan using data from Niche. Niche ranks places to live based on a variety of factors including cost of living, schools, health care, recreation, and weather. Cities, suburbs, and towns were included. Listings and images are from realtor.com.
On the list, there's a robust mix of offerings from great schools and nightlife to high walkability and public parks. Some areas have enjoyed rapid growth thanks to new businesses moving to the area, while others offer glimpses into area history with well-preserved architecture and museums. Keep reading to see if your hometown made the list.

What Song Lyrics Are Saying to Your Children?
Now imagine your four year old grooving and singing this popular Kesha tune, which by the way is featured on the extremely popular Wii game – Just Dance. And for the record, the lyrics get racier than this as the song continues.
Your first reaction will likely be to throw a curved brow at the parent who allows their four year old to hear this song. However, are these appropriate lyrics for a 9 year old? What about a 12 year old? According to statistics, most of the children playing the Wii game Just Dance are between the ages of 7 and 14. And the cold hard facts are that there are A LOT of households that have more than one child spanning a decade or more in ages. Should 13 year olds be inundated to a life of hearing, The itsy bitsy spider, or The Wheels on the bus in order to protect the innocent ears of a younger sibling?
Let's say you don't own a Wii. Turn on Nickelodeon and in between Spongebob or Dora episodes, you are apt to hear Victoria Justice singing her newest song, 'Freak the FREAK out!' Or, warning a boy in her life, 'Mess with me and you might get burned, I'll be sure you get what you deserve. Cuz one day, I'll have you begging on your knees for me!' Nickelodeon markets to children from the ages of birth to 16 and yet they intermingle their programming and advertising. And the bottom line is that some pre-teen pop princess or boy band with a catchy beat and hip tune is definitely going to catch the attention of a child. They may not appreciate or dislike a song because of the lyrics, but that doesn't mean that they won't be hearing the lyrics nonetheless. So what is a parent to do?
Now let's pretend that you don't own a television or if you do, you don't have cable. Or perhaps you don't allow your children to watch television, listen to the radio, or sit in the living room with YOU, even while you are watching the news where they will hear plenty of inappropriate commercial jingles or songs, between reports about people dying all over the world. If this is you, you can consider yourself lucky, and glad that you have made the decision you have about exposure to pop icons and modern music. Even so, you won't be able to keep your children in the bubble forever.
Perhaps the most ironic thing about the racy song lyrics in today's music that is directed toward our youth is that kids pick up on the innuendos and phrases so quickly. This doesn't necessarily mean that your 4 or 10 year old knows what it means to 'brush their teeth with a bottle of Jack' but there is a good chance they will sing it anyways. And of course, it is up to parents to decide what to tell the kids about the alleged 'jack' in the song.
The truth is that your child will not be listening to Oscar the Grouch sing about how much he loves trash for the rest of their youthful lives. At some point, the trash they will be singing about comes in the forms of song lyrics. The recording industry has developed standards and a rating system that is much like the one used by motion picture companies. Many CD's today, come with parental advisory warnings for explicit content. Wal-Mart in recent years has refused to sell any music CD's that include the parental advisory label because so many teenagers shop unaccompanied. The problem is that the record company's definition of explicit and yours as a parent, may be totally different things.
And teenagers love their music. Lady Gaga may have songs with multiple potty mouth lyrics, and her image may be of a fundamental sexpot yet young people LOVE her music. Performers like her are often slotted for shows like American Idol and even the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards both of which are high in the ratings for children under the age of 13. Remember Brittany Speers?
Justin Bieber, a favorite heartthrob among ELEMENTARY school girls has a song out called First Dance. If you haven't heard it, have a quick listen and you too will be wondering if he is really singing about dancing.
Okay, so you get the point. Today, the standard between what is appropriate and what is not is a little blurry. Children are being given glimpses into the adult world earlier than ever through all facets of media. Debating about whether song lyrics are going too far or not is not a new issue. The problem is that so many parents full of hopeful optimism count on the fact that recording artists and companies who deal with a younger audience will make wise decisions.
Yet they don't. Why? Because that is your job as a parent.
At some point, your child will shake their hips and try to carefully piece together a set of lyrics from a song they heard. They may not at the time know what the song is about, and likely, you will laugh it off and think it's cute. However, as your children get older, it is important to at least be aware and try to monitor what they load on their I-Pod shuffle. Every once in a while, take a quick tour into their musical world and find out what they are listening to. If they suddenly start saying a catch phrase and you don't have any idea where it came from, suspect music.
Additionally, utilize your tools and authority as a parent to make decisions about what music you feel is appropriate for a child. If you don't like a song or CD, then remember that you can turn the channel or delete it from a music library. While you keep a firm thumb on what they are listening to, also realize that you will not be able to shelter them from songs and song lyrics forever no matter how hard you try. If your children ask you what something means that they heard in a song and you don't feel it's appropriate for their age make something up! Just make sure it's believable and chances are they will let it go.
As long as you are proactive and remain aware of what your child is exposed to – as well as keep in mind that YOU have the ultimate LAST decision to allow or disallow the material, you and your child will likely make it through this part of life just fine. In the end, there are always bigger issues to worry about.

Let us assume that Cu(OH)2(s) is completely insoluble, which signifies that the precipitation reaction with NaOH(aq) (presented in the transition) would go to completion.Cu2+(aq)+2NaOH(aq) → Cu(OH)2(s)+2Na+(aq)If you had a 0.150 L solution containing 0.0250 M of Cu2+(aq), and you wished to add enough 1.31 M NaOH(aq) to precipitate all of the metal, what is the minimum amount of the NaOH(aq) solution you would need to add? Assume that the NaOH(aq) solution is the only source of OH−(aq) for the precipitation.Express the volume to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Let us assume that Cu(OH)2(s) is completely insoluble, which signifies that the precipitation reaction with NaOH(aq) (presented in the transition) would go to completion.
Cu2+(aq)+2NaOH(aq) → Cu(OH)2(s)+2Na+(aq)
If you had a 0.150 L solution containing 0.0250 M of Cu2+(aq), and you wished to add enough 1.31 M NaOH(aq) to precipitate all of the metal, what is the minimum amount of the NaOH(aq) solution you would need to add? Assume that the NaOH(aq) solution is the only source of OH−(aq) for the precipitation.
Express the volume to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Given that,
Volume of Cu2+ is 0.150 L
Molarity of Cu2+ is 0.0250 M
Molarity of NaOH is 1.31 M
The given reaction is
Cu2 (aq)+2NaOH->Cu(OH), (s) +2Na" (aq)
It means 1 mole of Cu2+ react with 2 mole of NaOH
Now, you calculate the no.of mole of Cu2+ and NaOH
no.of mole molarityxvolume mole x.150L L no.of mole of Cu2-0.0250 -0.00375 mole 1 mole of Cu2 react with 2 mole of N2OH Hence,0.00375 mole Cu2 react with no.of mole of N2OH-0.00375x2 -0.00750 mole
Now, you calculate the...
no.of mole of NaOH Volume of NaOH= Molarity of NaOH 0.00750 mole mole 1.31 L -0.00286 L

Amazing place for doggie day care and for boarding!


Hay Fever, one of Noel Coward's best-loved plays is a challenging to stage: the dialogue witty and fast, the changes of mood swift and the stage often full. And there's the 1920s to conjure up with set, music, costumes and props.
So how did it go? I loved it.
It's 1924; the Bliss's live a slightly bohemian life. Each of the family has invited someone to stay for the weekend, without telling the others. At the start, Sorel (Natalie Scurr) and Simon (Ned Murray) are comfortable, lively and have a real conversation....hard to do convincingly. I felt in safe hands. That matters a lot for live performance.
Clara (Ann Dowson) is the maid....sees everything....feet firmly on the ground and no nonsense. Ann does that brilliantly; you can't take your eyes off her.
Judith Bliss, the mother (Liz Crawshaw) is a force of nature. Judith is an actor, gets fewer good parts now; putting on a show is vital, even at home. Liz did an amazing job. She was witty, bitchy and turned on a sixpence between the two. Her lack of self-knowledge came across really poignantly.
David, the father, (Euan Crawshaw) writes novels with moderate success. Self absorbed, vulnerable about his place in the family, he knows that real power lies elsewhere. But he does manage a bit of a personal adventure later. I thought Euan carried this off with great subtlety; there was real person behind the front.
Sandy Tyrell (Thomas Jennings) sprang on stage in his stripey blazer and was enjoyable from the word go. His character was bright and confident and seemed at ease, even in the Bliss's unhinged household.
Myra Arundel (Sheila Mowatt) is central to the play. She sees how the family works and is fearless. Sheila was astonishing; by turns vampish, acidic, athletic and with the occasional whiff of menace. Watch this space.
Richard Greatham (John Law) is urbane and self-possessed. John, also relatively new to the stage, has great stage presence. the sort of authority that creates reality.
Jackie Coryton (Lizzie Dimouli) is a real spark. She had a way of commanding attention with little gestures and reactions that was vivid and compelling.
So, beginners and experienced actors worked together to make us laugh, to make us gasp at the bitchiness, the grudges, the self-delusion. The final scene where the family has breakfast arguing about theatre reviews is a gem. "One always plays up to mother" says one of the children. "No-one means anything in this house" says another. Enough said.
It's a vast army that makes a play happen. Music, sets, props, lighting, publicity, prompting and doing refreshments on the night. These need unsung heroes with expertise. The Director thanked all after the final show, knowing that without them, nothing would happen on stage.
Lottie Alexander, new to the village, chose the play, cast it and steered the ship to the triumphant Saturday night. With a huge cast to fill, Lottie found two professional actors (Thomas and Lizzie) and two people with lots of acting experience (Natalie and Ned), from outside the village. Members of the cast told me how they grew together. The result was subtle, funny, snobbish, sometimes vicious and occasionally downright dangerous. I loved it. Well done Lottie, well done everybody.


After Jessica Farris gains entry into a high-paying ethics and morality survey (by not quite moral means) nothing about her life is ever the same again.
"When Jessica Farris signs up for a psychology study conducted by the mysterious Dr. Shields, she thinks all she'll have to do is answer a few questions, collect her money, and leave.
Julia Whelan is one of my favorite audiobook narrators, making any book more interesting to me.
Psychological thrillers have been really working for me recently.
Perhaps the most buzzed about book this month.
Narration: Since this is an audiobook review, it's only fair to start here. The chapters in An Anonymous Girl alternate narration between Jess Farris, read by Julia Whelan, and Dr. Lydia Shields, read by Barrie Kreinik. Both were excellent. Whelan especially brought Jess and her constantly shifting emotions to life. Jess's chapters were told in first person, and Whelan completely became Jess for me. Dr. Shields, the more unreliable of these two central characters, told her story in a mix of second and first person. She was a creepy woman and Kreinik's reading made sure we never forgot that. Her narration was smooth, always measured, always calm, just like you'd imagine Dr. Shields to be.
Unreliability from Start to Finish – I appreciated that the writing team Hendricks and Pekkanen always kept me just a little off balance. Right from the start, you know something is "off" with this morality study Dr. Shields is conducting, but something is a little "off" with Jess, too.
"Are you being Honest, Jess?
You keep assuring me that Thomas has not responded to your invitation.
My instinct was to peg, Dr. Shields as the villain, but I found myself constantly second-guessing that supposition. If the two women weren't dizzying enough, the authors threw in a third character that was equally dubious. Thomas initially comes across as something of a knight in shining armor, that is until his past is revealed, and you realize he perhaps has even more to hide than either of the women. I loved the sense of disequilibrium created by this trio.
The Ping Pong Effect – The layer upon layer of back and forth in this book made the story. The layout itself alternated narration between Jess and Dr. Shields, but there was so much more than that. Jess both worshipped and feared Dr. Shields, constantly second-guessing herself. Later in the book, she bounced between Dr. Shields and Thomas. Dr. Shields felt like the villain most of the time, but there was enough doubt to cause wonder and confusion. Thomas, too always seemed to be spinning, keeping the reader guessing on his true motivation. I'm left wondering if the fact that An Anonymous Girl was written by a team is what made the back and forth so impressive. If so, keep it up, Hendricks and Pekkanen!
As I walk home now, I think of all the lies that link the three of us together.
Because I know that Thomas is trying to deceive me, too…..
At least I've finally learned something concrete. Neither of them can be trusted.
I have no idea why. But I can't worry about that now.
That Ending – I'll give nothing away, but want to say that I am a big fan of the very, very end of this book. I've seen others question it, but I loved it. Bravo, Jess!
Well "Dah" – I felt like An Anonymous Girl had a few places where things were just a little too obvious. For example, at the beginning Jess assumed the mystery doctor was a man, but anyone could reason that it might be a woman. So, why did that never even occur to Jess? Also, Dr. Shield's motivation behind her study was quite obvious, as was a step she took later in the story. It's nice to be right sometimes in a thriller, but I don't like it as much when a smart character can't see what's going on.
The HUGE amount of hype surrounding An Anonymous Girl made me nervous to read it, so instead I chose to listen. Sometimes this makes a big difference for me and I sensed this might be one of those cases. I think I was both right and wrong. From start fo finish I loved the performance of Whelan and Kreinik. They made the story for me, but I also think I'd have enjoyed reading An Anonymous Girl. Either way you choose go, I think you can't lose with the latest from the team of Hendricks and Pekkanen.
I loved the previous book by the authors, so I look forward to this one. The audio version is my preference so happy it was good.
Since reading An Anonymous Girl, I've heard so many positive comments about the authors' first book. I'll need to go back and read it.
Great review. I really enjoyed this one as well (although I did not listen to the audiobook). I'm looking forward to their third book!
Do they already have a third book in the works?
Narration truly can be everything!
I liked their other book quite a bit better. To say why might be a spoiler for this book, so I won't go further!
Ah! I need to go back and read their first, especially if it's better.
Great review Susie! I read this (as an ARC) and I can see how the audio would also be great.
I also loved both of the books you chose to recommend. All Is Not Forgotten is probably my favorite Wendy Walker book, although her latest is pretty terrific too. I enjoy books that feature a psychologist/psychiatrist!
Have you already read the Wendy Walker book that's coming out later this spring? I have that coming up.
I really enjoyed the experience of reading this book, but your review makes me wish I went with the audio version. I also liked the ending.
I think this was a book that would have worked equally well for me in print, and I don't always think that after listening to a book.
Sounds like a good thriller as an audio. I'll look to get on the waiting list. thanks.
Although I've read some of Pekkanen's novels, I haven't read anything by this duo yet, but this one sounds so good! I feel like there's a high creep factor.
I've only read one Pekkanen book, and didn't care for it. It was way too chick lit for me. I think writing in this duo with Hendricks has upped her game.

From 8 to 12 February 2019, the world's leading trade fair for consumer goods will be at the centre of this international industry. For the first time 85% of exhibitors  will be coming from outside Germany, and the latest trends will be presented by a total of 4,451 exhibitors  from 92 countries .
"We can see that progressive digitisation is changing the consumer goods industry. Digital business models are causing massive consolidation in the retail trade. In Germany alone 100,000 retail outlets closed down between 2000 and 2017 ," says Member of the Executive Board of Messe Frankfurt, Detlef Braun.
"This is an area where we can see a need for action as well as definite leverage for future success. So Messe Frankfurt would like to support exhibitors and retailers with a new digital project on the web. Working in partnership with nmedia, we are therefore planning to develop nextrade, a digital B2B marketplace for the consumer goods industry," Braun continues.
The leading global trade fair maps the entire bandwidth of consumer goods in Dining, Living and Giving. Last time, in early 2018, 133,582 visitors from 168 countries were able to network here. Ambiente is the central hub for everything that affects the consumer goods industry. Once a year it presents the full spectrum of interior design, gifts, cooking and tableware. It's a place where brands launch innovative products, designers set trends, decision-makers network with one another, and traders place orders for the entire season. In Living and Giving, Ambiente will have a completely new structure, designed to strengthen synergies through a clear hall layout coupled with the effective channelling of visitors. Retailers can find products for their core ranges and obtain information about suitable supplementary product ranges, based on the growing worldwide trend of concept stores. Moreover, they can place their orders straight away. Within Dining, Houseware & Storage is now located in the new Hall 12. All other Dining sections remain the same.
According to the ifo economic report, the increase in overall economic output went down from an annual average of 2.2% in 2017 to 1.5% in 2018. A variety of current risks are causing insecurity among businesses, both globally and regionally. For 2019 the German Ministry of Economics, too, is expecting a low level of growth, at 1.0%. This forecast is borne out by the latest update of the World Economic Outlook, provided by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Although, according to IFH Cologne, Ambiente's typical segments have also suffered a slight downturn of -0.6% between 2017 and 2018, absolute revenues have generally remained at a high level for many years now.
This year's Ambiente partner country will captivate visitors with its countless facets, traditions, creative visions and talents, as well as fascinating exhibitions. The designer Ayush Kasliwal's special exhibition Hand Make, in Galleria 1, will be highlighting the importance of traditional craftsmanship for India today. Meanwhile his designer colleague Sandeep Sangaru will be inviting visitors to a picnic under a canopy of stars in Hall 4.1. Sunil Sethi, President of the Fashion Design Council of India, will be presenting Stepwells, with handmade products and their production methods in an interactive environment in Hall 9.0. Hall 10.1 will feature the bright, airy atmosphere of the special exhibition Kārwān, with its mix of contemporary and historic objects reminiscent of the first traders who travelled around the world in caravans of camels.
An exclusive complementary programme has been created, giving visitors some special insights into consumer trends, technical innovations and the latest designs. Customers at high street shops have long been expecting more than products and displays. Good customer service requires perfect interaction between analogue and digital. The special exhibition Point of Experience has been planned by Design- und Realisierungsbüro Gruschwitz together with the consultancy firm Waketo. Take a look at the foyer of Hall 4.1 to experience this hands-on customer journey of the future. Moreover, the Ambiente complementary programme picks up the latest topics, such as a trend presentation by bora.herke.palmisano at Galleria 1. Forward-looking trends are analysed, condensed and showcased in such a way that orders can be placed immediately, and an amazing amount of information will be presented at the Ambiente Academy in Hall 9.1, D90, on all five days of the trade fair. Well-known specialists and industry celebrities will be talking about today's trends, ideas and practical insights. The Ethical Style Guide is an important component of the complementary programme, drawing attention to manufacturers of sustainable and ethically manufactured consumer goods. The needs of hotels, restaurants and cruise liners for robust yet high-quality design elements and dining facilities is mapped by two subject areas: HoReCa (hotels, restaurants and catering) and Contract Business. Both areas will have guides helping visitors to navigate through the halls and listing all exhibitors with products in hotels, restaurants and catering as well as in contract business. Buyers looking for original product ideas will enjoy the Talents and Next areas, which will feature contemporary designs and creations by young and unknown designers. Hall 4.0 will showcase Dining while Interior Design will be located in Hall 8.0.
As before, Ambiente 2019 will host numerous prestigious award ceremonies. The German Design Award will be presented on the first day of the trade fair. Visitors will be able to view the award-winning products at an exciting exhibition. The industrial designer Sebastian Bergne will be curating the Solutions exhibition in the foyer of Hall 4.0. This selection focuses entirely on clever kitchen and household gadgets. Ambiente will also feature the Kitchen Innovation Award and the Plagiarius anti-award for product piracy. After the great success of the first Tableware International Awards of Excellence last year, these awards will be presented again for various tableware products that are functional, beautiful or original and which tell a story. The winners will be announced at Ambiente. On the Monday of the trade fair the Dineus award will be presented for the first time – an award for outstanding products and projects, covering the full range of dining culture.

Gambling licence system could threaten Swedish lottery fundraising
Institute of Fundraising updates guidance on fundraising & donors in vulnerable circumstances
Fundraising income rises for fifth consecutive year in Ireland
Fundraising income in Ireland has continued to rise for a fifth consecutive year, according to a report from fundraising consultancy 2into3.
The Irish Not-for-Profit Sector: Fundraising Performance Report 2016 is based on analysis of the 2014 accounts of almost 1,000 not-for-profits. It shows that the sector increased income earned from fundraising by 7% between 2013 and 2014, totalling €845 million in 2014.
Health charities earned the most, accounting for 28% of total income, followed by education at 23%. However, international charities saw the largest increase in income in 2014: an average €59,042, while arts, culture, and media charities saw the largest drop with an average decrease of €25,785.
In terms of fundraised income, the majority of organisations analysed in the report (63%) reported an income of less than €100,000, and experienced no change in fundraised income. 17% reported an increase in fundraised income and 20% experienced a decrease.
72% of fundraised income came from individuals, with the majority derived from relationships, in particular, regular giving (36%) and direct marketing appeals (25%). Legacies account for 10%, as does selling something, with corporate donations contributing 7% of total fundraised income, and foundations 1%.
Dennis O'Connor, Director of 2into3, said:
"Fundraised income in 2014 increased for the fifth consecutive year. It appears that the charity scandals of 2014 did not negatively impact on this. Anecdotally, we also know that this trend has continued on in to 2015 and 2016. Having said that, more must be done by both the State and the public to support the not-for-profit sector. Irish charitable giving is significantly lower, per capita and as a proportion of GDP, than the UK."

100 Black Men of Grenada, Inc. to Receive Grenada Community Foundation Grant
Celebrate GCF's first grant by making your contribution now!
Grenada, MS: February 17, 2010. The Grenada Community Foundation announced today that it has made its first community development grant, in recognition of the efforts of 100 Black Men of Grenada, Inc. and their work mentoring students in Grenada's upper elementary and middle schools. Structured as a challenge grant to help the 100 Black Men organization raise further funds, the grant supports the planned trip for the students in the mentoring program to participate in the National Conference of 100 Black Men in Fort Lauderdale in June, 2010.
Formed in 2008, the Grenada chapter of 100 Black Men aims to enhance educational and economic opportunities for African American youth and to improve the quality of life within the Grenada community. The Grenada chapter provides a variety of programs, including a mentoring program dedicated to providing positive role models. According to Charles Latham, Vice President, Programs, "The trip to Ft. Lauderdale, the first we have organized, is more than a trip for these young people. It is an opportunity to see and meet successful people from all over the country, and to explore a new world of opportunity and promise. Our motto is "what they see is what they will be." "
Nationally, 100 Black Men of America, Inc. , founded in 1963, seeks to serve as a beacon of leadership by utilizing its members' diverse talents to create environments where children are motivated to achieve, and to empower them to become self-sufficient shareholders in the economic and social fabric of the communities we serve. The organization focuses on economic empowerment of the African American community based on the following precepts: respect for family, spirituality, justice, and integrity.
"We are delighted to be recognized by the Grenada Community Foundation and honored to be the recipient of its first grant. We look forward to a long and happy partnership with GCF, working together to support the development of opportunities for our children." commented Grenada attorney Carlos Moore, President of 100 Black Men of Grenada, Inc. Prevail Building | 81 South Church Street | Grenada, MS 38901
The Grenada Community Foundation was formed in 2009 to connect donors who care with causes that matter. With its formation, Grenada joins over 700 other communities across the United States in celebrating the transformative power of community charitable giving. In 2007, community foundations gave an estimated $4.1 billion to a variety of nonprofit activities in fields that included the arts, education, environment, disaster relief, workforce preparedness, and health and human services.
"Through the Grenada Community Foundation, local donors can easily funnel their philanthropic dollars and energy to the community efforts they care most about. Community organizations can get the support they need, and together we can expand the resources available to organizations working to improve the future of the citizens of Grenada." said Deborah Bailey, the Foundation's board chairman. "We are excited to be able to work with 100 Black Men of Grenada, Inc. on this important project, and look forward to collaborating with other nonprofit organizations in the Grenada area."
Community foundations are one of the fastest-growing forms of philanthropy in the United States, with total assets of more than $50 billion. While the community and clients each foundation serves vary greatly, every community foundation shares in the commitment of improving the lives of others. Across the nation, community foundations help create stronger hometowns where families want to establish roots, with recreational parks, social service programs and scholarship opportunities for promising local students.
"Community foundations are catalysts for positive change within both urban and rural areas," said Steve Gunderson, President and CEO of the Council on Foundations. "Donors of all income levels and from all geographic regions are finding community foundations to be an ideal way for them to easily give back to their community in a meaningful way."
To donate funds or get involved with 100 Black Men of Grenada, Inc, in raising funds for this trip, call Frank Bradford at 662-230-3997 or email Frank at frank.bradford@regions.com

              const collector = new Discord.MessageCollector(message.channel, m => m.author.id === message.author.id, { time: 5000 });
                collector.on('collect', async message => {

                 })
            }

But when it does that it doesnt recognize/work for some reason and even if I am entering the value xmr it does the 'else' I've defined. If someone knows what I'm doing wrong with the or operators please tell me

A: Because it's !== - that's "not equal". Use === for equal:
if (tosell === 'xmr' || tosell === 'eth' || tosell === 'btc')

Also you can use includes for more concise syntax:
if (['xmr', 'eth', 'btc'].includes(tosell))

A: You've used logical OR operators between the conditions. That is, you say:

Return error message,

*

*if tosell is not xmr OR

*if tosell is not eth OR

*if tosell is not btc.

That will return ALWAYS true, as a value can't be equal to xmr, eth and btc at the same time, so it will always return the error message.
Use logical AND operators:
if (tosell !== 'xmr' && tosell !== 'eth' && tosell !== 'btc') {

Or use a negated Array#includes (the inverse of what @Jack proposed):
if (!['xmr', 'eth', 'btc'].includes(tosell)) {

This was definitely one of the most popular vendors at the event, with good reason: mac and cheese harnesses all kinds of comfort-inducing euphoria. Who can resist a good ol' fashioned bowl of mac and cheese?
Ah, comfort food at its finest. Wind down and revel in its gooey, cheesy goodness. It was topped with fried onions, which were a nice contrast to the mushiness of the mac and cheese. The notion that the fried onions were the "main event" of the dish was perpetuated once I finished the fried onion. Sans onion, the flavours began to fall flat.

Shin Godzilla
Review Date: 2018 January 01 09:00
Reviewed by: Bryoz
Released by: Manga Entertainment UK
Age Rating: 12
Region: 2 - UK
Length: 119 minutes
Audio: English 2.0 Stereo

Japan is plunged into chaos upon the appearance of a giant monster.
From the mind behind Evangelion comes a hit larger than life. When a massive monster emerges from the deep and tears through the city, the government scrambles to save its citizens. A rag-tag team of volunteers cuts through a web of red tape to uncover the monster s weakness and its mysterious ties to a foreign superpower. But time is not on their side - the greatest catastrophe to ever befall the work is about the evolve right before their very eyes.
67 years after the release of the original Godzilla film in 1954, there have been approximately 30 movie titles staring the titular kaiju. Until this point however, I have seen approximately zero of the Japanese Godzilla films.
Despite being fresh to the series, I'm familiar with many themes and characteristics which are typically present, as such I had an idea of what to expect. Godzilla at this point, has become an institution - a pop culture icon, prevalent in film and comics.
Shin Godzilla is a good place to jump on board. It marks the 29th Toho produced Godzilla film, but is also a complete reboot of the series. Whilst no previous knowledge is required to enjoy the film, there are little nods and references to established characters. There are some familiar soundbites too. It also received critical acclaim when it was released in Japanese cinemas back in 2016.
Most people will be more familiar with directors Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi from their work with Gainax. Anyone familiar with the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise will be in for a treat, as references to the series are more a sharp elbow to the ribs than a subtle nod. But would you believe Anno has actually been animating giant monsters since 1984's "God Warrior" in Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind? He's had a lot of practice leading up to this point, and it shows!
The film opens with a series of quick cuts using mixed footage, including some handheld camera work. There's a bit of a documentary feeling to it. Right from the start though, the pacing in this film feels more immediate than Godzilla (2014). Shortly after the period and location are established, we are given glimpses of the monster itself - in broad daylight no less.
Soon after, we follow events as they unfold within the offices of government. Ministers try desperately to react, despite naturally being unprepared for a disaster of this magnitude. This in itself allows for comical juxtaposition, including a declaration that the monster couldn't leave the sea, followed immediately by a scene of the beast walking on land. It battles with the obligation of government to the people and their responsibility to the nation, whilst being very concerned with public perception.
Bureaucracy aside, the film paints the government in a positive light overall: through their compassion for civilian life, and the Japan Self Defence Forces prioritising evacuation of civilians following an unsuccessful attack on the beast. The illustrated behaviour seems bordering on propaganda at points, but whether this is the result of Anno's national pride, or the ignorance of a poorly informed gaijin, I couldn't say. What I do know, is the resolve and pragmatism of the Japanese government as portrayed in Shin Godzilla, gives pause to the actions of western governments as represented in real life, and on screen.
There is also a clear difference in motivation and attitudes between the first and second half of the film. The divide illustrates a resourceful younger generation assuming control of government from their elders, who are unprepared despite their humanistic approach. It's likely that this echos the sentiments of the audience, whom I'd imagine to be younger for the most part, and who might find it difficult to engage with politics in its current state. It shows the possibility of a refreshed government, with new focus and younger perspective.
The theme of nuclear deterrence is raised also, which clearly states the anxiety Japan still suffers from, following the second world war. Whilst there are western films which almost glorify the use of nuclear weapons as a means of assured victory, even in the situation where they are deployed on home soil.
The film is ultimately a story about humanity, confronted by its greatest fears. Something unbeatable and seemingly indestructible, but something which people must come together to overcome.
I watched Shin Godzilla in both native Japanese with subs, and with English dubbing, and whilst I don't have a particular preference for either, I did notice that some of the spoken English parts by its Japanese actors were a little difficult to follow. One actress in particular, who plays an American born Japanese character, spoke English with an accent which might have been enough to fool Japanese audiences, but was a little difficult for me to take seriously.
Overall, a well produced Japanese monster film and an entertaining experience.
