Web Literacy
Web Literacy
People everywhere should have the knowledge they need to tap into the full power of the Internet -- and to use it to make their lives and the world better. Whether you're a first time smartphone user, an educator, an experienced programmer, or an internet activist, the degree to which you can read, write, and participate on the web while producing, synthesizing, evaluating, and communicating information shapes what you can imagine—and what you can do. Read our white paper to learn more about why Mozilla cares about Web Literacy.
With the goal of bringing more equitable access to the internet for more people, we have worked with a diverse community of educators, practitioners, and technologists to identify core Web Literacy Skills and 21st Century Skills.
We fundamentally believe that the internet has the ability to transform communities and help us achieve our goals if we have the skills to wield its power. We've curated a core curriculum to teach these skills, and our hope is that people will use this curriculum, build on it, improve it, and share it with others as a way to make more people Web Literate and keep the internet healthy and open for all.
Mozilla's approach to creating curriculum is based on the following:

Rune Factory 4 Special E3 Preview
It is incredible to think how an idea can evolve and take on a life of its own. I myself went hands-on with Rune Factory 4 Special at E3 this year to check out the updated features over its 2013 3DS release and I found myself immediately drawing comparisons to the much beloved Harvest Moon franchise. In fact, it's only when I looked into the history of this role-playing simulator did the truth smack me in the face; the original title in the series is known as Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon, with the Natsume title there for all to see. I had a chuckle at my own expense and returned to marveling at how Rune Factory had digressed so completely from its predecessor while still keeping that familiar gameplay that made the Harvest Moon franchise explode.
I am sad to say Rune Factory 4 Special is my first time with the series, yet it took no time at all for me to feel right at home. The game features a happy blend of farming, fishing, and foraging with the kind of epic fantasy adventuring we have come to expect from Nintendo and MARVELOUS! Games. If I hadn't been told this was originally a 3DS game enhanced for the Switch, I would have easily accepted this as an all-new entry made for the hybrid console. The graphics – while not groundbreaking- were crisp and fun with a control scheme and combat style that reminded me of the good old Super NES days; running circles around your opponent and waiting for the moment to strike.
Being an RPG there is of course a much stronger influence of crafting for better gear and supplies, yet true to its Harvest Moon roots you'll also be able to romance and eventually marry someone in town and live happily ever after… or so that was the case in the original game. Rune Factory 4 Special adds a few new features, not the least of which is the 'Married Life Mode' where players will have new missions, interactions, and additional content to experience in the post-married life. It also offers a new 'Hell' difficulty mode once the story has been completed for those who love the series and want a new challenge (although maybe that also has to do with married life!)
My time with the game was unfortunately short and I was ready to pull up a chair, bunker down, and get started on running my kingdom in no time. I fondly remember sinking hours upon hours into Harvest Moon as a teenager, so the opportunity to combine that gameplay with nostalgia-packed RPG elements left me far too excited to jump into this world for my own good. It's beautiful, it's easy to pick up, and it's both compelling and relaxing at the same time. It will be launching first in Japan next month with a North American release date up in the air for 2019. Hopefully we don't have to wait too long.

As part of the Adelaide Rail Revitalisation Project, Stage 1 of the Noarlunga Line Reconstruction, 1.1 km of dual track from Brighton Road to Jetty Road, Oaklands Junction to the Sturt Creek Bridge was upgraded, this included the upgrade of Goodwood Junction North.
Project Overview
The Noarlunga Line Upgrade Stage 1—Brighton Road to Jetty Road was located in Adelaide, South Australia from November 2009 to December 2009 for South Australian Department of Transport, Energy and Infrastructure (DTEI).
The project was a Lump Sum Construct Only Joint Venture with John Holland Rail and it was $5 million contract value, plus $0.5 million Free Issue Materials (FIM).
Project Scope
The construction project involved:
- Upgrading the track formation and installing new formation drainage.
- Installing new gauge-convertible concrete sleepers.
- Refurbishing and replacing rails.
- Replacing rail joints with continuous welded rail (CWR)
- Refurbishing turnouts.
- Re-transom Sturt Creek Bridge
- Upgrading two level crossings and 10 pedestrian crossings.
- Installation of new signalling conduits.
- Signalling disconnection, reconnection and recommissioning.
- 3 turnout refurbishments
Project Approach and Methodology
All works were undertaken over 2 weekends to minimise the impact on train customers during weekdays. The line was closed between Goodwood Junction and Jetty Road, with passenger buses replacing trains. Each weekend occupation works were continuous over a 56-hour period and involved night works. Works were planned to one-hour intervals with regular six hourly consultations and reviews with client to monitor progress.
Other key delivery elements included:
- Traffic Management Plans with designated truck routes developed in consultation with local councils, residents and businesses, for supply of new ballast and materials and removal of excavated soils and ballast.
- Robust consultation and engagement with local residents, businesses, councils about the rail closure, traffic management and other works issues.
- Consultation and collaboration with ARTC and other rail operators regarding rail safety and access at Goodwood Junction.
- Night-time tamping works and noisy operations ceased before 10pm.
- Using direct labour, experienced in short-term occupations for most of the construction work.
- Rail Safety Supervisors at Goodwood Junction to coordinate activities between train movements, as the Belair line and the ARTC line through the Goodwood Junction remained operational throughout the occupations.
- Using modular timber temporary pedestrian crossings to maintain pedestrian access across construction site.

purpose. To investigate the effect of pirfenidone, a novel antifibrotic agent, on proliferation, migration, and collagen contraction of human Tenon's fibroblasts (HTFs).
methods. After treatment of HTFs with pirfenidone, cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay. Cell migration was investigated by scratch assay. Contractility was evaluated in fibroblast-populated collagen gels. Cell viability was determined by trypan blue exclusion assay. The expression of TGF-β1, -β2, and -β3 was estimated with RT-PCR, Western blot, and immunofluorescence analyses.
results. Pirfenidone induced significant dose-dependent inhibition of HTF proliferation and migration and collagen contraction. After treatment with different concentrations of pirfenidone (0.15, 0.3, and 1 mg/mL) for 24 and 72 hours, cell viability was not different in the treatment and control groups. After 24 hours of treatment with pirfenidone, HTFs showed dose-dependent decreases in mRNA and protein levels of TGF-β1, -β2, and -β3.
conclusions. These findings indicate that pirfenidone inhibits proliferation, migration, and collagen contraction of HTFs at nontoxic concentrations. A decrease in autocrine TGF-β signaling may have a role in the effects of pirfenidone.

What's normal?
Here I am at a Beer Garden next to the zoo in Tiergarten, the big central park of Berlin. I'm drinking this weird half beer, half lemonade concoction.
This is me having fun inside one of the art installations at the Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin's contemporary art museum housed in a former train station.
Oh, I've been practicing on my own, singing through the role every so often to keep it in my voice, and going through the staging (in my head) as I walk down the street, and (for reals) in my living room. But I know myself, and the more I can psychologically convince myself that this isn't some big premiere, or debut, but just, let's say, the third or fourth performance in a run of Barber of Seville's, the better off I'll be. So I'm trying to live my life, keep myself normalized, not psych myself out, and keep myself both mentally and physicaly healthy and happy. So far it's working, and after a day of museum hopping and beer guzzling (okay, not really - I only drank half of that lemony thing), I'm ready to get into my bed and sleep in until tomorrow morning. And I should be able to sleep in, because the other project I embarked upon this week was covering the floor to ceiling windows in my bedroom with aluminum foil to keep out the light. I made a joke on facebook that I would either get plenty of sleep or be roasted like a turkey. So far no cranberries have been served alongside my legs, so I'm sticking with the plan.

G., Hogrefe, C., & Galmarini, S. (2019): Modelling black carbon absorption of solar radiation: combining external and internal mixing assumptions. Atmos. Chem. Phys., 19, 181-204, doi:10.5194/acp-19-181-2019
An accurate simulation of the absorption properties is key for assessing the radiative effects of aerosol on meteorology and climate. The representation of how chemical species are mixed inside the particles (the mixing state) is one of the major uncertainty factors in the assessment of these effects. Here we compare aerosol optical properties simulations over Europe and North America, coordinated in the framework of the third phase of the Air Quality Model Evaluation International Initiative (AQMEII), to 1 year of AERONET sunphotometer retrievals, in an attempt to identify a mixing state representation that better reproduces the observed single scattering albedo and its spectral variation. We use a single post-processing tool (FlexAOD) to derive aerosol optical properties from simulated aerosol speciation profiles, and focus on the absorption enhancement of black carbon when it is internally mixed with more scattering material, discarding from the analysis scenes dominated by dust.
We found that the single scattering albedo at 440 nm (ω0,440) is on average overestimated (underestimated) by 3–5 % when external (core-shell internal) mixing of particles is assumed, a bias comparable in magnitude with the typical variability of the quantity. The (unphysical) homogeneous internal mixing assumption underestimates ω0,440 by ∼14 %. The combination of external and core-shell configurations (partial internal mixing), parameterized using a simplified function of air mass aging, reduces the ω0,440 bias to -1 / -3 %. The black carbon absorption enhancement (Eabs) in core-shell with respect to the externally mixed state is in the range 1.8–2.5, which is above the currently most accepted upper limit of ∼1.5. The partial internal mixing reduces Eabs to values more consistent with this limit. However, the spectral dependence of the absorption is not well reproduced, and the absorption Ångström exponent AAE 440675 is overestimated by 70–120 %. Further testing against more comprehensive campaign data, including a full characterization of the aerosol profile in terms of chemical speciation, mixing state, and related optical properties, would help in putting a better constraint on these calculations.
Schartau, M., Riethmüller, R., Flöser, G., Beusekom, J.E.E. van, Krasemann, H., Hofmeister, R., & Wirtz, K. (2019): On the separation between inorganic and organic fractions of suspended matter in a marine coastal environment. Progress in Oceanography, Volume 171, Pages 231-250, doi:10.1016/j.pocean.2018.12.011
A central aspect of coastal biogeochemistry is to determine how nutrients, lithogenic and organic matter are distributed and transformed within coastal and estuarine environments. Analyses of the spatio-temporal changes of total suspended matter (TSM) concentration indicate strong and variable linkages between intertidal fringes and pelagic regions. In particular, knowledge about the organic fraction of TSM provides insight to how biogenic and lithogenic particulate matter are distributed in suspension. In our study we take advantage of a set of over 3000 in situ Loss on Ignition (LoI) data from the Southern North Sea that represent fractions of particulate organic matter (POM) relative to TSM (LoI ≡ POM:TSM). We introduce a parameterization (POM-TSM model) that distinguishes between two POM fractions incorporated in TSM. One fraction is described in association with mineral particles. The other represents a seasonally varying fresh pool of POM. The performance of the POM-TSM model is tested against data derived from MERIS/ENVISAT-TSM products of the German Bight. Our analysis of remote sensing data exhibits specific qualitative features of TSM that can be attributed to distinct coastal zones. Most interestingly, a transition zone between the Wadden Sea and seasonally stratified regions of the Southern North Sea is identified where mineral associated POM appears in concentrations comparable to those of freshly produced POM. We will discuss how this transition is indicative for a zone of effective particle interaction and sedimentation.The dimension of this transition zone varies between seasons and with location. Our proposed POM-TSM model is generic and can be calibrated against in situ data of other coastal regions.

[SOLVED] GPIO cannot work on up-board squared
I'm trying to use GPIO pins on up2 to control an LED. I used the following code:
sudo -i
echo 432 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio432/direction
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio432/value
The value has been set to 1 correctly, but the LED is not on.
I tried with mraa-gpio too, and with
mraa-gpio list shows
No pins.
I tried to install the kernel for up-board according to https://wiki.up-community.org/Ubuntu#Install_Ubuntu_kernel_for_UP_from_PPA. But when I type
uname -a, it always shows
Linux upboard-UP-APL01 4.14.20-041420-generic #201802162247 SMP Fri Feb 16 22:48:07 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux.
Is there anyone who knows how to solve this problem? Thanks
It seems like the problem is that the kernel what I used is not for up-board. After I changed my Kernel, I can control the GPIOs without problem.

CENTRIMIX – Centrifugal Speed Mixer for Transdermal Gels, Creams, Suspensions, and Powders
CENTRIMIX—Planetary Speed Mixing Technology for the Compounding Laboratory
CIRCUMGYRATIONAL motion is a novel technology previously used by other industries that necessitate homogeneous final mixtures and elegant preparations. Mixing, milling, dispersion, and de-aeration are now very common terms for compounding facilities who embrace this new compounding technology. BIOSRX is proud to play a significant role in the advancement and adaptation of centrifugal mixers tailored for the pharmacy compounding industry.
Dr. Moses Perez, Pharm.D.—developer of TICKER®, Gentle Dose®, Cappucine®, and other novel pharmacy lab technologies used in the compounding sector—is passionate about incorporating this new line of mixing technology into the core of our company.
CENTRIMIX, "The Centrifugal Pestle and Mortar" facilitates the mixing and deaeration (air removal) of compounded mixtures in just s few minutes! Uniform mixing and air removal will result in a homogeneous final product.
Your compounding team can now prepare for the next steps of your standardized processes while the mixing takes place, thus saving your company time due to improved efficiency with fewer accessories to clean and sanitize. CENTRIMIX standardizes the mixing process by decreasing the manual and variable human element of mixing, resulting in decreased mixing errors and improved safety and efficiency.

Mixing, Deaeration, Melting, and Milling Capabilities
CENTRIMIX – Mixing Simplicity
Just a 4-step process:
- Transfer your chemicals and bases into the mixing container for mixing or deaeration
- Load the preparation into CENTRIMIX and dial the appropriate counter-balance with your finger
- Close the lid, choose your mixing speed setting, and push start
- After the mixing ended, remove you preparation from CENTRIMIX, and analyze your preparation
- Cream to Cream
- Dry Powder to Dry Powder
- Dry Powder to Cream
Melting with CENTRIMIX
"The high speed mixing capabilities of CENTRIMIX may even excite the particles inside the compounds".
Shear force mixing causes some solids to melt at much LOWER TEMPERATURES than ever before. Therefore, heat sensitive drugs can now be incorporated into a gelatin base in a continuous miscible phase without being destroyed. Not to mention a drastic reduction in cooling time to solidification. The result is a new therapeutic option in parallel to a successful outcome, and prepared at a fraction of the time!
Place the gelatin gum base inside the container, and insert into Centrimix. After setup, the gelatin base will be partially melted in approximately 2 to 3 minutes, with an internal temperature of ~ 37ºC. Next add the API(s) and any color or flavor needed to the container. With an additional mixture of 1 to 2 minutes, the final product is homogeneous, uniform, and fully melted, reaching an internal temperature of ~ 40ºC. Due to the varying melting points with different gelatin gum bases, the mixing may range from 3 to 5 minutes. With thermal elevation control in Centrimix, API(s) are protected due to a lower melting point, which is achieved just through the power of centrifugal forces!

Elvandar is the chief city of the elves, located in the great forests north of the Green Heart on the northern continent of Triagia. It is protected by unwanted intruders with magic and animals.
Humans consider Elvandar a scary place. Bears, wolves and lion populate the forests around, as well as dryads who would seduce people and suck their lives. There were also sleeping glades where intruders would fall in an endless sleep.
The center of Elvandar is a city composed entirely of giant trees connected by high arching bridges. Some of these trees have foliage of silver, white, or gold.
When the Valheru were defeated by the gods in the Chaos Wars, the Valheru Ashen-Shugar freed the elf-slaves to seek their destiny among the new races. Elvandar was populated by the eledhel.
Elvandar was ruled by King Aidan and Queen Aglaranna until the former perished, leaving his wife to rule as the mistress of Elvandar.
During the Tsurani invasion, the outworlders were unable to enter the elven forests; however the Great Ones gained entry and attacked the Elves with the help of the Cho-ja. However, they were repelled with the help of Macros.
Tomas married Aglaranna and became Prince-Consort and Warleader of Elvandar, ensuring Aglaranna's son, Calin will become the King of Elvandar.
After the riftwar, the Eldar returned to Midkemia and joined Elvandar under Queen Aglaranna.
During the Great Uprising of the moredhel, the last of the glamredhel were found living in the Edder forest. The glamredhel were told of Elvandar, and they travelled there to join with their eledhel kin. Their king, Earanorn, became one of Queen Aglaranna's advisors. He has named Calin, as his heir to bring both races of elves under one ruler in the future.
During the SerpentWar, most ocedhel were killed, however a few survived and came to live in Elvandar. Tomas aided in attacking a corrupted Fadawah in Ylith.

It All Began With a Baby Girl
By Timothy Deenihan
There were red flags popping up all over the place, which is why Christina Gunther kept calling the adoption agent, which is probably why the adoption agent, tired of all the calls, finally told her, "Everything's nearly ready. Pack enough clothing for three weeks. Go. I'll see you there. Everything will be fine."
Every word of this was a lie.
This story begins in Guatemala, January 2005, with the birth of a girl. Soon thereafter, the infant's father died, the details surrounding his death unclear. Her mother attempted to raise the little girl on her own, but faced insurmountable poverty. Few options existed for a woman with a daughter but no husband, and international adoption presented itself as the best opportunity for both mother and child.
In the U.S., Christina and Fred Gunther were looking to adopt and turned their attention to regions of the world where their adoption might also help ease another's burden. The ins and outs of adoption can be a challenge in the best of circumstances, however, and adopting a child from another country—particularly a developing nation with patchy record-keeping—brings layers of complexity unimaginable. To help navigate the process, the Gunthers turned to an agency based in North Carolina. They were matched with the little girl, Deanna, 2 years old by this time, and immediately fell in love. They paid the agency to assist with all the arrangements and waited anxiously for the green light to travel to Guatemala to finalize Deanna's adoption in person.
But the green light never came. So Christina, who was working at Yale University at the time, called the agency for an update, but only received a runaround. She called again. And again. And many times more, each time being told there was some delay or another and to just be patient. Finally, Christina says, in May 2007, "I think [the agent] was just sick of me." She and Fred were told to head to Guatemala. It would take about three weeks to dot all the I's and cross all the T's, but they would soon have their new daughter.
So Christina and Fred packed for three weeks. They took their 7-year-old biological daughter, Sophia, out of the last month of school, and the family headed to Central America to meet Deanna now that things were finally happening.
When they arrived, nothing was happening. "Adopting from Guatemala was a popular option at the time," Christina explains. "So we happened to meet a few other families who were doing the same thing. But all their stories of the process were totally different from ours," she says. For a start, the others had paperwork. The Gunthers had nothing.
A representative from the North Carolina agency arrived and took them to collect Deanna. The whole thing had been weirdly "loosey-goosey," Christina recalls. Meeting Deanna's foster mother, "I'm sure the agency woman just said something to the effect of 'Give this woman the child.' And that was it." But a person can't simply leave one country and enter another with a random extra child in tow. There are visas, birth certificates, adoption records, citizenship filings—a whole folder of documents to amass. Yet, when the Gunthers asked the agency representative point-blank about the paperwork process, she was worryingly evasive. "My Spidey-senses aren't working," she told them, "so I'm not sure."
"That was it," Christina says. "We needed answers." Calling on contacts, they secured a trustworthy lawyer based in Guatemala City. It took him very little time to get the clarity they'd been seeking for months. "Nothing's been done," he said.
When they called the adoption agency's headquarters in North Carolina, the agency director went on the offensive. "You've jeopardized everything!" she shouted, accusing Christina of somehow risking everyone's adoptions and threatening to come to Guatemala herself. With Fred back in the U.S. commuting to Guatemala only once a month, Christina and the girls immediately moved their location for security concerns.
In the weeks that followed, the Gunthers coordinated efforts between their lawyer in Guatemala City and an attorney in North Carolina to complete the adoption. Coercing the agency to release the necessary paperwork took five months, and still the Gunthers were not in the clear.
The U.S. government was becoming increasingly concerned about Guatemalan corruption regarding trafficking and the sale of children (ironic, as it was the agency director in North Carolina who had scammed not only the Gunthers but at least 35 other families before disappearing without a trace) and had just announced it was closing the window on Guatemalan adoptions at the end of the year—which was only two months away. The Gunthers already had been in Guatemala more than twice that long and had only just got their hands on the documents they needed to start the process.
Racing the calendar, they scrambled to complete the maze of paperwork left to them. "I was so nervous about everything," Christina recalls. "There were so many opportunities for things to go wrong."
But—finally—things didn't go wrong. Finally, things were going right, and by mid-December, seven months after packing for a three-week adventure and with only days to spare before the whole thing would have proved tragically useless, the Gunthers—now a family of four—were headed home.
In a movie, the credits would roll at this point. In real life, stories rarely end when expected.
In the time Christina and her girls were trapped in Guatemala waiting for the lawyers to unravel the mess in North Carolina, she became friends with a U.S. pastor who ran an organization that helped build homes and improve infrastructure for the locals. "You should bring a group down here!" he often would tell her in a boisterous, jovial, joking-not-joking sort of way.
And so now, in her position as director of Global Health Programs and the Health Science Program at Sacred Heart University, that's exactly what Christina does.
Four times a year, SHU sends students from the Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy and Speech & Language Pathology programs to Guatemala to staff clinics run in partnership between the University and the organization founded by that pastor all those years ago. It's an excellent way for the students to meet the clinical requirements of their majors, complete capstone projects and learn more about cultural competence, while serving as part of a health-care envoy to rural and impoverished communities that never could afford such care on their own.
It's a win-win, in more ways than one. As of last October, 435 Sacred Heart students have traveled to Guatemala, helping more than 10,000 people. But the benefits go beyond the metrics. "The students get way more out of it than they expect," Christina says. "They head down there with this missionary zeal—they're going to save the world. But they begin to realize they have something to learn, too. And it's not just clinical. They've been seeing everything through a very U.S.-centric lens. This helps them really see there's another way of doing things," she says. "Another way of being."
While the fullest extent of that paradigm shift may not be permanent, there is research to indicate that these types of service programs inspire students to orient their careers more toward community-based care.
One example is Cassie Colucci. After graduating in 2016 with a B.S. in health sciences, she carried on at SHU to earn her master's in occupational therapy in 2018. In 2017, while a graduate assistant with the Global Health Program, Cassie was part of the OT team that spent a week in Guatemala visiting schools and opening a clinic in a rural village there. Now she's an adjunct at SHU, teaching an online undergraduate course in Diversity and Disparity in Health Care while simultaneously moving into an OT position at the PG Chambers School for children with disabilities in Cedar Knolls, N.J.
And so it is that a little girl born into too much poverty to bear became the impetus to bring health care to communities that cannot afford it and perspective to students who never knew they needed it. Just your everyday story of con artists and corruption, fraudsters and families, faith, lawyers, medics, missionaries, and a mother whose love simply wouldn't quit.

If your home is looking more like a disaster zone than a place of tranquillity then here are a few top tips at regaining organisation.
1. Have a space for everything – it's not easy but if everything you own has a home, not only will it be easier to find, you won't be spending hours searching the entire house for an extension lead. We all have a 'stuff' drawer but being organised is much less stressful.
2. Do one room at a time – organising and de-cluttering doesn't become overwhelming when it's done room by room. It will help your home feel orderly and light. Be honest with what you are and aren't using. If bulky items or keepsakes need storing then do so. But take them out of your everyday pathway.
3. Recycle any old clothes, toys or furniture – Give your wardrobe designated areas for certain items of clothing.
4. Buy a shoe rack – encourage your family to put their shoes away when they come home. It will save time in the morning too!
5. Create new spaces – Wall storage is a great way of keeping everything up off the floor. Increase storage by putting baskets and shelving into alcove areas, storage areas do not have to be imposing.
6. Outdoor spaces – these can be very effective for non-day to day requirements and bulkier items. Our Temporary storage solutions are perfect for this.
7. Let in light – this gives the illusion of space, tie curtains back or change them for blinds and free up the window areas.
8. Sell or giveaway all unwanted items – use sites such as gumtree, freegle and ebay as fuss free ways to rid your home of unwanted items.

20 July 2018
Frankly, a three hour drive to Walton on Trent was probably not the best thing for my back. Two or so hours in, when we reached Warwick Services, I could barely get out of the car. There was some hobbling around, a loo stop, some much needed food and coffee and then it was back to the car for another interminable, painful hour. At least there was a hotel at the end of it and a chance to walk around, albeit like an old lady who's lost her walking frame. No photos were taken, apart from one of the hotel door so I'd remember the number when I came back from my hobbling. All this, was yesterday and it was just the precursor to Thunder Run, a twenty four hour endurance race. As far as I could see, at that point, I'd already endured quite enough and it hadn't even begun yet.
Later in the afternoon, we drove to Catton Park, thinking we'd be allowed to peg out a camp area for us and the team of assorted Lordshill Runners plus one who had not yet arrived. Unfortunately, although Rob has done this every single year for the past nine years, this year the answer was no. All we could do was go back to the hotel and try to come up with a plan.
This morning, after a night in a soft bed, a nice warm shower and a very early breakfast, I did feel a little better. Overnight, with the aid of actually reading the event details rather than relying on knowledge from past years, a decision had been made about the camping spot. It turned out there was a special area reserved for solo runners like Rob and Commando. It had the advantage of being close to the start finish line and all the food stalls. As there are not many runners
stupid brave enough to run solo, the area would be fairly empty. Even so, we drove to the site while the team runners were still sleeping and Rob and I pegged out a camp area for them. Then we went to the local supermarket to stock up on food for the next two days.
By late morning, we'd had our fill of the free coffee in the hotel foyer, checked out and, leaving the team runners at the hotel, had found a spot for our tents on the almost empty solo area. The wisdom of spending two nights in a tent seemed questionable but at least I didn't have to run 10k laps the next day and we had a little pond to look at. It was also not raining, which, after the torrential downpours last year, seemed like a huge bonus.
We'd learned a lot from our first year at Thunder Run. This year we had a bigger tent. Commando had not left the air bed and the sleeping bags at home. We had a folding table, a camping stove, kettle, deep frying pan come saucepan, a tin of real grated chocolate to make hot chocolate and assorted plates, mugs, bowls and cutlery. Some forward planning had gone into what we were going to eat and we'd made better shopping choices. At home I'd made a huge bag of my patented running snack, chocolate salty balls, a combination of dates, peanut butter, coconut oil, coco nibs, coco powder, seeds, seasalt and powdered milk. We also had a camping loo for the middle of the night when it's dark and dangerous.
The tent setting up and unpacking was a team effort. Commando, Rob, Kim and I worked well together and soon the tents were standing, the air beds were blown up and the kettle was whistling. As camping goes, it all seemed quite civilised. We sat in our camp chairs, drinking coffee and relaxing in the sun while we could. We'd managed to achieve all this and, so far, the team runners hadn't even arrived.
Sitting around all afternoon in the burning sun was never an option for me. My leg was still aching and my toes were numb from the long drive yesterday. What I needed to do was keep moving. The roads around Catton Park have no pavements, more's the pity as there are interesting things to see in the area, and the traffic is fast and furious. Walking on the road would be almost suicidal, especially with all the traffic heading for the event. Walking the course was an option but things were still in the process of being set up so it would hardly have been quiet and I might well have got hopelessly lost or in the way. Luckily I knew just where to go to stretch my legs.
Across the road from the Thunder Run field, is the large field behind Catton Hall. It's used as a car park for the runners but, at this point, it was fairly empty and walking the perimeter, with my eyes turned towards the River Trent, had been one of the joys of last year. The hall, was cordoned off by some low ropes with yellow no access signs, but it was still easily visible from the field. The current building was built in 1745, by William Smith, and replaced the original fifteenth century Manor House. The Manor of Catton was originally presided over by Roger Horton, and his family members served as High Sherriff of Derbyshire. Today the hall is owned by the Neilson family, descendants of the Hortons. Apparently there is a chapel behind the house, built in 1892, boasting a Norman font. Sadly I couldn't see it from my spot on the field.
Much as I'd have liked to see more of the hall, the real draw was the river. In contrast to the dry, straw like grass, the banks were green and bursting with wild flowers. With the burbling of the water soothing me, I strolled along the bank trying to stretch out my poor old legs. Last year I'd seen Canada geese and swans here but today there was no wildlife at all.
Quite soon I reached the place where the bank has crumbled, leaving a convenient ledge to sit on in quiet contemplation. Although the main purpose of my excursion had been to walk and stretch my legs, I did stop for a short while, close my eyes, breathe deeply and enjoy the smell and sound of the Trent.
Moments after I climbed back to the top of the bank and began walking again, I noticed a man coming down the river on a paddle board. He said hello as he passed and I replied, "that looks like fun." Where he came from and where he was going is a mystery but I really was quite envious. It seemed it would be far cooler on the river than standing on the dusty bank.
At the top end of the field more or less in line with a slightly rickety wooden fence, there's an interesting looking island. This, I guessed, was where all the wildlife was hiding. As said fence barred my way into the next field I followed it back towards the road. If memory served me right I'd be able to cross the road and get back into the top gate of the Thunder Run field. This would give me a nice circular walk back through the campsite to our tents.
There were hundreds of sheep in the field and a red brick building, probably a farm house, on the far side. The grazing sheep looked at me askance over the fence and shuffled towards the middle of the field suspiciously. Some gave me wary, accusing looks, as if they thought I was up to no good, maybe about to steal their wool or something even more sinister.
When I finally reached the road I was slightly dismayed to find the top gate of the Thunder Run field, sercurely locked. Briefly I thought about climbing over it but the idea of getting stuck, falling, or being caught by the campsite security guards didn't seem worth the risk. In the end I simply walked back along the car park field beside the hedgerow and back through the gate I'd originally come out of.
While I'd been walking, the clouds had rolled in. If anything the heat was even more oppressive and I was fairly glad to get back to our camp and have a cool drink. It was now late afternoon, time to try out the new camping stove. My hastily concocted one pan pasta meal, with fresh pasta, a bag of Lloyd Grossman sauce and some pancetta worked better than I'd expected. There were clean plates all round and no complaints.
To help our dinner go down we all took a stroll to the team campsite. They'd all arrived quite late, having spent the day at a local zoo and had also just finished eating.
"The food's all gone," Pete joked, taking a bite from a burger.
We stood around chatting for a while but, before long, it was clear standing around wasn't doing my back any good so I left the runners for one last tour of the car park field before we all tried to get an early night.
When I reached the river I noticed the swans had decided to make an appearance. They had three, or maybe four, fluffy little cygnets in tow, along with a whole family of Canada geese. Frustratingly, they were all on the far bank, a little too distant for decent photos. I might have stayed longer but a few spots of rain were beginning to fall. Mindful of Rob's prediction of thunder storms at some point in the evening and, remembering last year's torrential downpours, I thought it was probably best to head back to the shelter of the camp.

Award season officially started with the nominations for the Golden Globes yesterday. We are steaming through at full speed, as the Grammy Awards Nominations for 2019 have just been announced. Which artists will win the most prestigious music prize at the beginning of next year?
Grammy Awards 2019
Shawn Mendes, Janelle Monáe, Alessia Cara and Zane Lowe just announced the Grammy Awards Nomination. Last year there was a lot of criticism after there were a conservative vote and Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar, the big contenders, but little in rods and very few women were represented.
This year they take a different approach by not nominating five but eight people for the four largest categories (Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist). Of course, we have to wait and see what that does for the winner's list, because at the end that can only be one of course,
Ariana Grande
Well, by the nominees. The biggest snub of this year is Ariana Grande, which was not nominated in the biggest categories, despite her fantastic musical year. We also know a bit about it. The film A Star Is Born – and especially Lady Gaga – scores after yesterday's Golden Globes, again today, because the beautiful song Shallow from the film has been nominated for the Grammy for Number of the Year and Record of the Year. Chapeau. Also beautiful: Mac Miller was posthumously nominated for Rap Album of the Year for his fantastic album Swimming.

Construction of a new $22 million, 62,000 square-foot medical office building on the Fulton County Health Center campus is on-time and on-budget.
Steve McCoy, director of marketing and planning for FCHC, said ground for the building, the second to be added to the FCHC campus, started in October 2017.
"The last few months, they've set up drainage and got the foundation built. Now they're working on the stairwell and steel," he said.
There have been no problems getting materials, he said. Some of the work has been delayed due to bitter cold temperatures over the last few weeks.
Before work on the building began, two parking lot projects were completed.
A new parking lot with 150 spaces was added adjacent to the south parking lot.
Additionally, a 12-space lot was added outside the Ambulatory Emergency Room entrance.
Ambulatory patients are those who can walk or otherwise transport themselves into the ER.
The lot will be available for those dropping off patients at the ER, or for surgery.
The building will be composed of four floors. Three will be used for medical offices. The fourth floor will be unfinished, available for future use.
McCoy said all of the office spaces on the first three floors have been filled, with tenants ready to move in once the building is complete.
He said plans call for the new building to be ready for occupancy within 18 to 24 months.
In a September 2016 article about the project, Patti Finn, FCHC chief executive officer, said the building would be marketed to medical specialists who may travel to Wauseon to hold office hours on a regular basis.
That would mean county residents wouldn't have to travel to a large city, such as Toledo, to see them.
The new building would also allow some reallocating of space, bringing together some clinics that operate in two separate, disjoined offices.
Funding is from a United States Department of Agriculture loan. The total loan is for $54.6 million.
Once medical office building costs are deducted, the remainder will be used to pay off bonds that have higher interest rates than the USDA loan.
Since the USDA will reim- burse FCHC once the building is complete, a bridge, or construction, loan was obtained through Huntington Bank.
120 Beds
McCoy said FCHC traces its origins back to 1929, when the first Wauseon City Hospital was incorporated.
In January 1930, the Detwiler Hospital building was dedicated.
Today, that building serves as office space for Fulton County.
Work on the current FCHC building started in March 1971. It was dedicated on March 24, 1973.
On April 8, 1973, the first 42 patients were transferred from the Detwiler Hospital.
Since 1973, there have been four additions to FCHC.
The first was an emergency room expansion, followed by the construction of the Fulton Manor nursing home.
Next was the original medical office building on the north side of the original building; then, in 2007, was an expansion of the emergency room and new sameday surgery suites.
McCoy said FCHC originally opened as a 120-bed hospital.
Due to changes in the way patients are treated, the facility now has only 25 hospital beds available.

As England's only natural World Heritage Site, the Jurassic Coast is a wonderful place to visit this summer. With beautiful beaches to explore, amazing fossils to be found and some fantastic summer events there's something for everyone to enjoy.
It's important to remember that the Jurassic Coast looks the way it does because of erosion – meaning it is always on the
move. Rock falls and landslides can, and do, happen anytime without warning. Although it's a tempting way to find that perfect fossil, climbing and digging in the cliffs is highly dangerous to you and others around you. Make sure you enjoy the coast safely, whether you are out walking, fossil hunting, having a picnic or taking selfies. It's easy to stay safe by following a few simple rules.
The golden rules: stay safe while you have fun
Stay away from the edge of the cliff top – admire the view from a safe distance..
Stay away from the base of cliffs: rock falls and landslides can happen at any time
Pay attention to warning signs – they are there for your safety.
Check tide times before you set off to avoid being cut off by rising tides.
Be aware of mud flows extending across the beaches – don't get stuck.
