"Use it or lose it." I'm sure you're familiar with this advice. And I hope you've been following it. I certainly thought I was. I usually do two physical activities a day, alternating among walking, cycling and swimming. I do floor exercises for my back daily, walk up and down many stairs and tackle myriad physical tasks in and around my home.
My young friends at the Y say I'm in great shape, and I suppose I am compared to most 77-year-old women in America today. But I've noticed in recent years that I'm not as strong as I used to be. Loads I once carried rather easily are now difficult, and some are impossible.
"Sarcopenia can be considered for muscle what osteoporosis is to bone," Dr. John E. Morley, geriatrician at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, wrote in the journal Family Practice. He pointed out that up to 13 percent of people in their 60s and as many as half of those in their 80s have sarcopenia.
In 1988, Walter R. Frontera and colleagues at the Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University demonstrated that 12 previously sedentary men aged 60 to 72 significantly increased their leg strength and muscle mass with a 12-week strength-training program three times a week.
Two years later in JAMA, Dr. Maria A. Fiatarone and colleagues at the Tufts research center reported that eight weeks of "high-intensity resistance training" significantly enhanced the physical abilities of nine frail nursing home residents aged 90 and older. Strength gains averaged 174 percent, mid-thigh muscle mass increased 9 percent and walking speed improved 48 percent.
So, what are you waiting for? If you're currently sedentary or have a serious chronic illness, check first with your doctor. But as soon as you get the go-ahead, start a strength-training program using free weights, resistance bands or machines, preferably after taking a few lessons from a physical therapist or certified trainer.
"Start with two repetitions and, using correct form through the full range of motion, lift slowly and lower slowly. Stop and ask yourself how hard you think you are working: 'fairly light,' 'somewhat hard' or 'hard.' If you respond 'fairly light,' increase the weight slightly, repeat the two reps and ask yourself the same question. If you respond 'hard,' lower the weight slightly and do two reps again, asking the question again.
Of course, as the weight levels you're working at become easier, you should increase them gradually or increase the number of repetitions until you fatigue. Strength-training will not only make you stronger, it may also enhance bone density.
The fact that you may regularly run, walk, play tennis or ride a bike is not adequate to prevent an incremental loss of muscle mass and strength even in the muscles you're using as well as those not adequately stressed by your usual activity. Strengthening all your skeletal muscles, not just the neglected ones, just may keep you from landing in the emergency room or nursing home after a fall.
Dr. Morley, among others, points out that adding and maintaining muscle mass also requires adequate nutrients, especially protein, the main constituent of healthy muscle tissue.
Protein needs are based on a person's ideal body weight, so if you're overweight or underweight, subtract or add pounds to determine how much protein you should eat each day. To enhance muscle mass, Dr. Morley said that older people, who absorb protein less effectively, require at least 0.54 grams of protein per pound of ideal body weight, an amount well above what older people typically consume.
Thus, if you are a sedentary aging adult who should weigh 150 pounds, you may need to eat as much as 81 grams (0.54 x 150) of protein daily. To give you an idea of how this translates into food, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter has 8 grams of protein; 1 cup of nonfat milk, 8.8 grams; 2 medium eggs, 11.4 grams; one chicken drumstick, 12.2 grams; a half-cup of cottage cheese, 15 grams; and 3 ounces of flounder, 25.5 grams. Or if you prefer turkey to fish, 3 ounces has 26.8 grams of protein.
"Protein acts synergistically with exercise to increase muscle mass," Dr. Morley wrote, adding that protein foods naturally rich in the amino acid leucine — milk, cheese, beef, tuna, chicken, peanuts, soybeans and eggs — are most effective.
To help doctors screen patients for serious muscle loss, Dr. John E. Morley and Theodore K. Malmstrom devised a simple questionnaire that anyone can use. It asks how difficult it is for you to lift and carry 10 pounds, walk across a room, transfer from a chair or bed or climb a flight of 10 stairs. It also asks how often you have fallen in the past year. The more challenging these tasks and more often you've fallen, the more likely you have sarcopenia.

The US, under terms of the so-called alliance, expects Australia to follow its diplomacy. It has been interesting, however, to note voices of dissent in Canberra, within the higher echelons of class and state power.
The moves, by the US, have also coincided with Australia establishing an Office of the Pacific, linked to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
Whether the two senior US personnel concerned together with others, were part of the recent reorganisation of the US Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) with priority given to emerging threats has yet to be established. It would appear likely they were. Whereas ordinary intelligence operations are concerned with wholesale spying, military intelligence assessments are invariably the product of military mind-sets and concerned with balances of forces and military preparedness.
The three Melanesian countries of the South Pacific, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, form a strategic part of the Defence of Australia doctrine where northern shores are protected by a buffer-zone against foreign military incursion. And they have most certainly become the main focus of US-led military intelligence operations at the present time.
While all three countries have had Chinese ethnic minorities since the nineteenth century, in recent times large-scale investment programs from China have provoked a furious response from US-led western allies. Matters came to a head at the APEC summit in Port Moresby last November, with an announcement that the US would take a leading role in establishing the Lombrum military base on Manus Island.
That both Pottinger and Gray also visited Australia and Japan as part of their South Pacific fact-finding tour should come as no great surprise. US-led regional military planning has included the elevation of Japan to a major hub for 'US interests' in the north, with Australia as a southern counterpart. The triangular diplomatic relationship is primarily focussed upon China, with greater responsibility for the two hubs to pursue Pentagon directives, as required. It is no accident that the implementation of the major diplomatic moves coincided with the establishment of the DCS. The triangular diplomacy has provided the framework for the DCS to operate within.
Evidence of the triangular diplomatic relationship between the US, Australia and Japan, and their special focus on the South Pacific has not been difficult to identify; last year, for example, US-led initiatives to quash an arrangement between Huawei Marine and PNG for an underwater telecommunications cable deal proved unsuccessful. (5) In response, the US and its two regional hubs have subsequently stepped-up their position against China in the region.
The fact that both Pottinger and Gray also visited New Zealand is significant for two reasons: NZ forms an active part of the Five Eyes intelligence networks. Secondly, NZ has always taken a much more proactive role with educational and training provision in the Pacific. Many islanders have relied upon NZ facilities for specialist education and training of all levels. Educational institutions across NZ will obviously possess many useful contacts across the wider region.
A number of other important considerations have arisen.
Secondly, the Trump administration has finally got an Ambassador into Canberra after a lengthy delay, since 2016, when the previous ambassador departed. The incoming Ambassador Culvahouse, has already revealed a set agenda which has included a stiffening the Australian spine on China. (7) What has been particularly revealing about his appointment is that Culvahouse has been officially referred to as Ambassador to Australia while elsewhere he has been labelled an envoy. The latter, in diplomatic speak, is usually a specific position for greater responsibility across other countries.
As the South Pacific has already being specified in official US foreign affairs media releases as 'strategically vital to the US and its regional allies' in the context of countering China's regional influences, the question arises whether this is the main reason why the US requires Culvahouse as an envoy? (10) Will Culvahouse reside in Canberra while making forays elsewhere in the name of 'US interests'?
Secondly, high-handed US diplomacy has also been accompanied by the NSC opening an investigation into what they described as the 'grey area' of Chinese covert influence in Australia. (11) The NSC was not asked to open the investigation from Australian sources. The Trump administration took the initiative as part of their planned regional war-drive.
Such moves, by the US, have already set the wheels in motion for the new Cold War, much of which is being waged in Australia. Recent legislation, including the Foreign Influence Transparency Scheme, is little other than a wholesale domestic spying program. (12) It forms a conspicuous part within overhauled espionage provision 'unveiled by the Turnbull government' which stoked the fires of the new Cold War at the behest of the Trump administration. (13) The new Cold War has affected every level of Australian society: academic, political, and economic.
The response, therefore, from some senior Australian decision-makers to the US-led initiative has been interesting to note.
Statements from the people above reveal wide divisions at the higher echelons of class and state-power toward US-led regional diplomatic initiatives. They have a different position to the present Morrison government. The question might be asked is whether this is one of the main reasons why the present Coalition government in Canberra remains dysfunctional?
Are the present Morrison cabinet merely money-grubbing faceless wonders wanting more US patronage and ill-gotten gains for themselves and their families?
It might be a very useful project for a researcher to establish how many times members of the present cabinet and their families have visited the US recently, how many of their children have entered into US-based 'scholarships' and where their business interests really lie.

The Greek form of the name, Babylon, is from the native Akkadian Bāb-ilu, which means "Gate of the god". This correctly summarizes the religious purpose of the great temple towers (the ziggurats) of ancient Sumer (Biblical Shinar in modern southern Iraq). These huge, squared-off stepped temples were intended as gateways for the gods to come to earth, literal stairways to heaven. ("Reaching heaven" is a common description in temple tower inscriptions.) This is the type of structure referred to in the Biblical narrative. The common conical depictions of the tower (as shown here) resemble much later Muslim towers observed by 19th century explorers in the area.
Ziggurats are among the largest religious structures ever built, and their use dates back to the dawn of history. The Biblical narrative is a reaction to the ancient Mesopotamian system of beliefs reflected in these impressive structures, beliefs that ruled the hearts and minds of some of the greatest civilizations of ancient times.
The Hebrew version of the name of the city and the tower, Babel, is attributed in Gen. 11:9 to the verb balal, which means to confuse or confound in Hebrew.
According to the documentary hypothesis, the passage derives from the Jahwist source, a writer whose work is full of puns, and like many of the other puns in the Jahwist text, the element of the story concerning the scattering of languages is thought by many to be a folk etymology for the name Babel, attached to a more historic story of a collapsing tower.
Historical linguistics has long wrestled with the idea of a single original language. Attempts to identify this language with a currently existing language have been rejected by the academic community. This was the case with Hebrew, and with Basque (as proposed by Manuel de Larramendi). Yet the well-documented branching of languages from common ancestors (such as modern European languages from ancient Indo-European) points in the direction of a single ancestral language. The main issue of dispute is the date, which most modern scholars would put several thousand years before the Bible's own date for the demise of the Tower of Babel.
Traditionally, the peoples listed in Chapter 10 of Genesis (the Table of Nations) are understood to have been scattered over the face of the earth from Shinar only after the abandonment of The Tower, which follows as an explanation of this cultural diversity. Some, however, see a contradiction between the mention already in Genesis 10:5 that "From these the maritime peoples spread out into their territories by their clans within their nations, each with his own language" and the subsequent Babel story, which begins "Now the entire earth was of one language and uniform words" (Genesis 11:1).

Robert Sidney, 1. Earl of Leicester KG (* 19. November 1563 in Penshurst, Kent; † 13. Juli 1626 ebenda) war ein adliger Staatsmann und Kunstpatron des elisabethanischen und jakobinischen Zeitalters in England.

Leben
Robert Sidney wurde am 19. November 1563 auf dem Familiensitz in Penshurst, Kent, geboren. Er war das dritte Kind des von Königin Elisabeth I. zum Statthalter Irlands (Lord Deputy of Ireland) ernannten Sir Henry Sidney, 1529–1586, Neffe des Robert Dudley, 1. Earl of Leicester, und Bruder des früh berühmten Dichters Philip Sidney und seiner Schwester Mary Sidney, 1561–1621. Alle Geschwister entstammten einer künstlerischen Familie, Robert schrieb Gedichte, Philip wurde einer der berühmtesten Dichter am Elisabethanischen Hof und auch Mary, später Countess of Pembroke, wurde eine eigenständige Autorin.

Sidney studierte von 1575 bis 1579 in Christ Church (Oxford) und bereiste zwischen 1579 und 1581 den Kontinent, überwiegend Deutschland. 1584 heiratet er die reiche Erbin Barbara Gamage, Cousine von Sir Walter Raleigh. Aus der Ehe gingen elf Kinder hervor. Berühmtester Nachkomme wurde die Schriftstellerin Mary, Lady Wroth,. Ben Jonson widmete ihr 1612 das Theaterstück The Alchemist sowie das Sonett The Underwood und zwei Epigramme. 1625 heiratete er in zweiter Ehe Sarah Blount, Witwe von Sir Thomas Smythe und Tochter von William Blount.

Für die Grafschaft Glamorgan wurde er 1585 zum Mitglied des House of Commons gewählt. Unter seinem Onkel Robert Dudley, 1. Earl of Leicester diente er zusammen mit seinem älteren Bruder Philip im Krieg gegen Spanien in den Niederlanden. 1585 wurde Dudley das Kommando über den Feldzug gegen die spanischen Niederlande unter Alexander Farnese übertragen. Die Unterstützung der Niederländischen Republik wurde von Spaniens König Philipp II. als Kriegserklärung empfunden, was zur Aufstellung der Armada führte, und gipfelte in der Schlacht von Zutphen 1586, in der er mit seinem Bruder Philip kämpfte und dieser tödlich verwundet wurde. Robert Sidney wurde daraufhin Oberhaupt der Familie, Eigentümer von Penshurst Place und im gleichen Jahr zum Knight Bachelor geschlagen.

Von 1589 bis 1616, als Flushing an die Holländer zurückgegeben wurde, war er Gouverneur dieser Stadt, die er allerdings nach dem Tode Königin Elisabeths immer seltener aufsuchte. Er überhäufte die englischen Minister mit Briefen zur finanziellen Unterstützung von Flushing.  Nach diplomatischen Missionen in Schottland 1588 und Frankreich 1594 kehrte er 1606 für längere Zeit nach Holland zurück. 1603 erhob ihn König Jakob I. zum Baron Sydney, of Penshurst; zugleich wurde er Lord Chamberlain für dessen Frau Anna von Dänemark. 1605 wurde er zum Viscount L'Isle ernannt und schließlich 1618 zum Earl of Leicester. Dieser Titel, den Königin Elisabeth I. für ihren Favoriten Robert Dudley neu geschaffen hatte, erlosch mit seinem Tod 1588, da er ohne Erben starb, und wurde erst an Robert Sidney erneut verliehen. Die Sidneys führten den Titel bis zum Tod des siebten Earls, mit dessen Tod die Linie im Mannesstamme erlosch.

Sidney starb am 3. Juli 1626 in seinem Anwesen in Penshurst.

Wirkung – Musik und Dichtkunst
Obwohl er der Bruder eines der berühmtesten Dichter des Elisabethanischen Englands war, hat man in ihm bis in die 1960er Jahre keinen eigenständigen Dichter gesehen; zu seinen Lebzeiten waren seine Gedichte unveröffentlicht geblieben. Erst als die Bibliothek von Warwick Castle erschlossen wurde, entdeckte man sein autographisches Arbeitsbuch (gebunden im 19. Jahrhundert) mit seinen eigenen Korrekturen und Veränderungen wieder und wurde auf seine dichterischen Fähigkeiten aufmerksam. Sie enthalten Lieder, Sonette und Pastorale im Stil seines berühmten Bruders Philip. Es kann als eines der größten, vollständig erhalten gebliebenen Vers-Dokumente eines Dichters dieser Zeit angesehen werden.

Ben Jonson hat ihn in seinem Gedicht To Penshurst in The Forest als einen Mann mit Geschmack und als einen Patron der Literatur gekennzeichnet und dessen kultivierten Lebensstil auf seinem Sitz in Penshurst dichterisch verarbeitet.

Robert Sidney war daneben auch ein Patron der Musiker. Es konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass ihm Robert Jones' First Book of Songs and Ayres (1600) zugeeignet wurde, ebenso wie A Musicall Banquet (1610), zusammengestellt von Robert Dowland, dem Sohn des Komponisten John Dowland. Sidney war Pate von John Dowlands Sohn. A Musicall Banquet eröffnet mit einem Tanz (Galliarde) von John Dowland, das den Titel trägt: Syr Robert Sidney his Galliard. Sie stammt offenbar aus den späten neunziger Jahren des 16. Jahrhunderts, als Robert Sidney Gouverneur von Flushing war. Die Sammlung enthält 66 Sonette, Lieder, Pastorale, Elegien und leichterer Stücke, offenbar als eine Art Antwort auf Philip Sidneys Astrophel und Stella strukturiert. Sie legen nahe, dass Robert Sidney ein Anhänger neuplatonischer Liebesideen war und eine große Zahl unterschiedlicher Versformen schätzte.

Robert Sidney wird nicht zu den führenden Dichtern des elisabethanischen Zeitalters gezählt und stand ein Leben lang im Schatten seines Bruders. Trotzdem geben seine Gedichte eine Vorstellung der damaligen Ideen und Arbeitsweisen.

Well, it was supposed to be on my Christmas list this year...but I ended up just getting it myself after receiving an online coupon from Sephora and finding two unused gift cards hiding in my wallet. So it ended up being free, with free shipping! Can't get better than that.
I am so happy with this fragrance. It is unlike anything I have, which is exactly what I was looking for (I was getting tired of my signature scents).
"Fresh, luminous, and fruity floral with a "jasmine tea" theme. Notes of Cranberry, Green Tea, White Peony, Sambac Jasmine, Blond Woods, White Musks.
I definitely agree with the description of fruity and floral...what I love about it is an almost "grapefruit" scent! It is very fresh and feminine.


When I think of dressing for the holidays, I always think of plaid. Especially any plaid with red in the pattern. It just screams festive to me! PureHearts Boutique has so many adorable items that can be dressed up or down perfectly for the holiday season. I absolutely LOVE this Flair of Flannel cardigan from their shop! It's less than $30 + you can snag it for 20% off with my code STYLEANDGRACE!
I paired my cardigan with skinny jeans, a bold necklace, strappy flats, and leopard, of course. This was such a comfy but fancy outfit. My favorite kind.
My scarf is also from PureHearts Boutique. This particular pattern is sold out but will be back up on the site this week for sale. It's my absolute favorite blanket scarf!
I also love PureHearts because they donate 10% of their profits to different charities monthly. I love everything this boutique is about. Fashion for good!

Every week during the season NFL Network and NFL.com Senior Fantasy Analyst Michael Fabiano joins Sports360AZ.com's Brad Cesmat to share his insight on building and developing your fantasy team for success.
Here are some hi-lights from our most recent conversation (November 11th) with the Fantasy Sports Writer's Association Hall of Famer.
Jameis Winston or Carson Palmer this week? "This is a really bad matchup this week for Carson Palmer if you look at it. Seattle, 'Legion of Boom,' in Seattle. [Seahawks] coming off a bye. Of course, Arizona is coming off a bye, as well. I would probably go with Carson because he's played so well this year but Jameis Winston has been playing a little bit better lately. The Cowboys defense is not bad, either especially against quarterbacks…I'm going to go with Carson but I'd look to the waiver wire, though."
Who are some quarterbacks you'd look to grab off the waiver wire this week? "See if [Joe] Flacco is out there. See if someone like Ryan Fitzpatrick is out there…Blake Bortles. Someone like that."
Are you surprised by the consistency of Derek Carr the past few weeks? "Carr has had two bad match ups in a row and he's absolutely thrived. Over 20 fantasy points in both games. I believe he has 11 touchdown passes in his last three games which is ridiculous. So you can't even call him a match up-based starter because the last two match ups have been bad and he's taken the Jets and the Steelers out from a statistical perspective. So he is a guy, this week they're playing the Vikings and the Vikings' defense is pretty good. Derek Carr is almost a must-start unless you have Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Andy Dalton, Drew Brees, Cam Newton someone like that. He's been that good."
Is the Jay Cutler we've been seeing for real? "I mean, he's looking good. What's great is he now has tunnel vision for Alshon Jeffery and no so much anybody else on that team which is what he did for Brandon Marshall for years and years and years in Denver and Chicago. But I don't like the match up this week. They're playing St. Louis. That defense is good, Brad. Really good. So Cutler is certainly worth a roster spot. I would definitely argue that. He's played very well in the last four weeks or so but am I starting him against the Rams? Probably not."
Who do you like as starts/sits at running back for Week 10? "Who I'm starting: my buddy D'Angelo Williams, D'Marco Murray, Justin Forsett. Doug Martin: yes, he has been a disappointment but he's playing the Cowboys this week. I'm sitting Chris Johnson. I'm sitting Jonathan Stewart, T.J. Yeldon. Ronnie Hillman is someone I don't like. Kansas City's defense has been really good against running backs outside of one game against the Bengals."
How about quarterbacks? "Quarterbacks that I am playing this week: Andy 'Red' Dalton, Cam Newton, Joe Flacco. Blake Bortles who I've mentioned. Quarterbacks I'm sitting this week: Russell Wilson, Ryan Tannehill. The aforementioned Jay Cutler and Marcus Mariota, as well. Tough matchups for those QB's this week."
Who has caught your eye at wide receiver this weekend? "Wide receivers I'm playing. Allen Robinson, Jarvis Landry, Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree who's been great. Brandin Cooks…I guess better late than never, right? I'm still weary of Jeremy Maclin. [Larry] Fitzgerald's a tough start. Mike Evans, great game last week, tough match up this week."

Europeans face more curfews, restrictions, as coronavirus surges
The governor of Campania, the southern region which includes densely populated Naples, on Thursday ordered residents to stay at home from 11 p.m. to shortly before dawn starting the next day.

ROME: Italy's three largest cities and dozens of regions of France face curfews as authorities try to slow the spread of the coronavirus in Europe, where most countries are now imposing or mulling new restrictions on activity in response to rapidly rising caseloads.
A midnight-to-5 a.m. curfew in Italy's Lazio region, which includes Rome, begins on Friday and lasts for 30 days, under an order signed Thursday by regional governor Nicola Zingaretti. He was seriously sickened with COVID-19 when Italy became the first European country overwhelmed by an outbreak early in the pandemic.
The governor of Campania, the southern region which includes densely populated Naples, on Thursday ordered residents to stay at home from 11 p.m. to shortly before dawn starting the next day. A similar curfew in Lombardy, where infections are particularly surging in its main city, Milan, will go into effect Thursday night.
Disco operators staged a protest in Rome on Thursday to highlight the economic woes the late night curfews will deal them.
Greece will impose a 12:30 a.m. to 5 a.m. curfew in greater Athens and other areas with high infection rates.
"The aim is to reduce general movement and evening gatherings, which favor the transmission of the virus," Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in a televised address. "With a little less fun, for a short period of time, we will have better health for a long time."
Greece has seen a surge in infections in recent weeks, tied to the summer holiday season, and on Thursday reported 882 new confirmed cases, a record, and 15 deaths. The country will also require mask use outdoors in areas of high transmission.
Italy was Europe's first country to be put under a national lockdown in March. But so far Premier Giuseppe Conte, wary of crippling the country's long-lame economy, hasn't repeated the drastic move — even as daily new confirmed infections hit a record of more than 16,000 on Thursday. Instead, for now, Conte has urged Italians to avoid "unnecessary" movements.
But the Czech Republic's government on Thursday re-imposed exactly the same heavy restrictions it slapped on citizens in the spring — and which Prime Minister Andrej Babis had repeatedly said would not be repeated — amid a record rise in infections.
An apologetic Babis said that without the restrictions the nation's health system would collapse in early November. The measures include limits on free movement and the closure of many stores, shopping malls and hotels, until at least Nov 3.
Curfews were vastly extended in France, where Prime Minister Jean Castex said the restriction ordered last week in eight regions, including Paris and its suburbs, will be applied, starting Friday at midnight, to 38 regions plus Polynesia.
Poland broke another record in confirmed new infections Thursday with more than 12,100, and registered nearly 170 new deaths.
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki suggested that, starting Saturday, Poland might be placed under tighter restrictions such as mandatory use of masks in all open public spaces, limits on the number of customers in shops and on public transport, and closing gyms and swimming pools.
Germany also reported a new daily record of more than 10,000 infections Thursday, shattering the previous high of 7,830 set five days earlier. Health Minister Jens Spahn, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday, was quarantined at home.
Denmark also notched its highest one-day caseload of COVID-19 infections, 760.
Portugal is banning people from traveling between counties on the Oct. 31-Nov. 2 Halloween and All Saints' Day weekend. The move is aimed at discouraging family gatherings, which are blamed for most of the country's new infections.
Health Minister Marta Temido said she expected the daily tally to keep climbing in coming days. Portugal posted a new record of officially reported daily infections of 3,270 cases.
In Belgium, Foreign Minister Sophie Wilmes, who as prime minister led the country's fight against the coronavirus earlier in the outbreak, has been hospitalized in intensive care with COVID-19, her office said Thursday. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Elke Pattyn told The Associated Press that Wilmes is conscious and her condition "is not worrying."
With more than 1 million accumulated coronavirus infections, Spain mulled possible curfews.
"It is a reality that in some parts of our country, the epidemic is out of control," Health Minister Salvador Illa told Spain's Onda Cero radio.
With a 14-day rate of infection over 1,000 cases per 100,000 residents, more than three times the national average, the northern Navarra region has ordered all bars and restaurants closed and for shops and businesses to open only until 9 p.m. It also banned non-essential travel in and out of its regional borders.
Madrid, which for weeks was the hottest pandemic spot in Europe, has been under similar measures for nearly two weeks. And although it has seen a recent stabilization of contagion, Illa said more needed to be done there.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson introduced a three-tier alert system last week for England. In Wales, a two-week "firebreak" lockdown starting Friday will shutter all non-essential shops and ban most trips outside home.
Ireland's Prime Minister Michael Martin has announced that for the next six weeks all non-essential shops must close, restaurants can only offer takeout, and people must not travel further than 5 kilometers (3 miles) from their homes. Schools will stay open.
Cyprus made mask-wearing mandatory for anyone older than 12 in outdoor public spaces after daily infections hit record numbers in the last two weeks.

Breeders Cup Classic Odds and Free Picks
By Tom Wilkinson
The marquee race on Saturday in the Breeders' Cup is the $6 million dollar Breeders' Cup Classic on NBC. This year's race features McKinzie for trainer Bob Baffert who will start from post No. 8. The Breeders' Cup Classic will have a field of 11 horses and there are a number of challengers who could give McKinzie a real test. Let's look at the field and Breeders' Cup picks.

Breeders' Cup Favorite
The post time favorite on Saturday is likely to be McKinzie for trainer Bob Baffert. The horse will have a new jockey, as Joel Rosario replaces Mike Smith. "He's a little tricky horse to ride," Baffert said to the media, "I know how he's got to be ridden, and we'll see what happens. I'll be sitting down with Joel. But he's ridden against him. He's beaten him (on Gift Box). These guys, they're so good. They see the videos."
Baffert said that he just wants a good trip for McKinzie. "… I just want the horse to show up. If he shows up and gets outrun, he gets outrun. But you know what? I want the horse to get beat (running) his style. There's a lot on the line. There are championships on the line. Horse of the Year on the line. That's the beauty of the Breeders' Cup. They give out a lot of championships this weekend. I just hope some of mine are the list."
Baffert said to the media that McKinzie is one of the best horses he has ever trained, but that the horse has to prove it. "I think he's one of the top 10 horses I've trained, but he's going to have to prove it—no excuses. We'll see what he's made of."
McKinzie has won twice this year and finished second in four other starts. Baffert will be looking to win the Classic for the fourth time, as he won it from 2014-2016.
Other Contenders
Code of Honor and Vino Rosso are the co-second choices on the morning line at odds of 4-1, while Elate is the co-third choice at 6-1 along with Higher Power. Elate will be taking on the males for the first time. Yoshida is listed at odds of 8-1 on the morning line and he will get Mike Smith in the irons.
Code of Honor has won three straight for trainer Shug McGaughey, but it will be a different set of circumstances for Code of Honor who is coming from the East Coast. "I've been impressed with the way he's come out of his races, especially the Travers, and then the Gold Cup," McGaughey said to the media, "A lot of times, going from East to West on the dirt hasn't worked out, but this horse seems to adapt pretty well, so we'll have to see. It is a little bit of a different ballgame."
Vino Rosso won the Gold Cup at Santa Anita in May and he is worth a look as is Higher Power for trainer John Sadler who won this race last year with Accelerate.
Longshots
There are five horses that will likely go off at odds of higher than 15-1 and none of them are appealing. This year's Breeders' Cup Classic simply doesn't look like one that will go to a longshot, but if I had to choose one it would be Seeking the Soul.
Breeders' Cup Picks
I think this race is McKinzie's to lose and he should get the win. I don't like Code of Honor and I don't like Elevate, so if I was going to play an exacta box it would be McKinzie and Vino Rosso.

Wisdom Commentary: Proverbs
Alice Ogden Bellis
Browse more Wisdom Commentary Volumes
2019 Association of Catholic Publishers Book of the Year
In this volume, Alice Ogden Bellis considers the book of Proverbs as a structural whole, the sages having designed it in such a way as to make positive statements about women and to undercut the negative ones. By grouping Proverbs together around common issues, the reader is called to consider the perennial moral questions of wealth and poverty, diligence and laziness, and integrity and corruption, as well as the relationship among these values. The result is much more complex and has greater depth than the random list of bromides that most of Proverbs is often thought to be. This volume opens up a multi-dimensional spiritual puzzle.
Alice Ogden Bellis is an ordained minister and professor of Hebrew Bible at Howard University School of Divinity in Washington, D.C. Her books include Helpmates, Harlots, and Heroes: Women's Stories in the Hebrew Bible (Westminster/John Knox, 1994 & 2007), Science, Scripture, and Homosexuality, with Dr. Terry Hufford (Pilgrim Press, 2002; Wipf and Stock, 2011), and Jews and Christians and the Theology of Hebrew Scriptures (co-edited with Joel Kaminsky, (SBL Symposium Series; Atlanta: Society of Biblical Literature, November 2000).
"Bellis's readable, sharp, and cogent commentary will be a helpful resource for making sense of a book whole coherence is not easily apparent. Any reader will no doubt be encouraged by Bellis's vision of the Proverbs."
The Catholic Biblical Quarterly
"With care and precision, Bellis identifies both positive and problematic gender assumptions in Proverbs, balancing the historical function of these sayings with modern concerns. This volume will be of value to scholars, clergy, and interested laity concerned with the enduring voice of Proverbs in the modern world."
Catholic Books Review
"Careful Hebrew word study helps readers explore Proverbs more closely. The personification of Wisdom comes alive in these analyses which are a boon for preachers."
"The work stands out from other consciously feminist works by commenting on the whole text, rather than just those that explicitly mention women. It aims to be faithful to the ancient texts and to explore how they are heard by contemporary men and women."
"This well-researched and insightful commentary delves beneath what can often appear to be commonplace or obvious proverbial sayings to discern their deeper theological, social, and anthropological importance, making it a good addition to this growing series."
The Bible Today
"A refreshing commentary on Proverbs that, in line with the aims of the series, provides a gender-sensitive set of diverse readings, with an eye to the ancient Israelite, as well as the modern context. A particularly innovative aspect is that one hears other voices than just that of Bellis herself. Both attention to the detail of the text and digging deep when needed, are accompanied by diverse viewpoints, spiritual moments, and creative thinking. A veritable 'wise' commentary for the twenty-first century."
Katharine Dell, St. Catharine's College, Cambridge
"The Books of Proverbs is unique in that it is addressed primarily to young men, and, according to Bellis, requires a gender-sensitive reading of the text. She beautifully unites many voices and unique perspectives in their commentary on Proverbs and animates this text with a new vitality. Recommended for all theological and university libraries."

Growing up, I lived in various parts of Maryland. After high school, I traveled with a church group to Poland for the summer, then I spent a year at a bible college in Dallas, and shortly thereafter, moved to Texas for good! Eventually my husband and I settled in the Austin area where we have three beautiful children.
My professional background is in bookkeeping, accounting, and tax preparation where I have 20 years experience. I also completed a two-year training course in solar energy and PV design and installation. However, without an electrical background, it has been difficult to utilize this training.
In 2012, I became active in the firearms industry and began competing in IDPA matches. Eventually, I became certified as a basic pistol instructor and a Texas license to carry instructor.
With a busy life, there's not much free time. But whenever possible, I try to spend time with my family and count my blessings every day.

Tag Archives: Camelot Unchained
Camelot Unchained Kickstarter Unleashed!
Mark Jacobs and his team were wise enough to pass on an April 1st start date for his Camelot Unchained Kickstarter.
(Though I think the whole thing started before the timer on the Camelot Unchained home page finished counting down. Probably a good idea to make sure it was going strong before sending people over.)
But the day of fools has passed, and now it is back to marketing as usual.
As Lord British and his Shroud of the Avatar Kickstarter winds down its last few days, having crossed the $1.3 million mark, getting it to the interactive musical instruments stretch goal (did anybody believe that those stretch goals wouldn't make it into the game?), Mark Jacobs and Camelot Unchained begin their campaign.
And Mark wants two million dollars.
He'll see Lord British's million and raise him a million.
That seems like an aggressive goal. As I said before, I think Lord British has better general name recognition and is a bigger draw because of that. So the City State Entertainment team is going to have to work hard to make that goal.
All of the now standard Kickstarter bits and pieces are in place. There are tiers from $5 to $10,000 with splashy graphics to illustrate what you get with each tier and charts to compare tier. It is a lot of graphics. The page seems to go on forever. But you pretty much need the picture to see what you are getting because the text about the tiers in the side bar is cramped and goes on forever as well. And I have already spotted a couple of discrepancies between charts and pictures. There is a game in that alone I think.
There are mission statements and what makes the game unique and, of course, the requisite "why Kickstarter" apologia.
As a "niche" and RvR-focused MMORPG, CU is a very risky venture for most traditional game publishers. Even if we did find one willing to take the risk, it would come with so many strings attached we couldn't make the game we want to, or would face constant battling to ensure our vision remains intact. That's why we're attempting to fund some, but not all, of this project's costs through Kickstarter.
While we at CSE believe in Camelot Unchained, we could be wrong about it having even enough appeal for backers to fund this Kickstarter. We will create this game only if there is a demand for it, so if we can't get the partial funding we seek, we will not go ahead. OTOH, if we do successfully fund, Mark Jacobs will add $2M dollars to the development budget himself. This is covered in more detail below.
I suppose it is refreshing to see the founder, who in this case doesn't live in a castle and hasn't paid his way into space, publicly matching the funds raised. I am not sure how meaningful that is, but it is there.
And there is a succinct statement about where the money is going.
Every dollar we raise from this Kickstarter campaign will go towards development. Our staffing plan includes hiring three additional engineers, two artists, one designer and one part-time writer immediately. The MMO engine will be developed in-house with one purpose, to make a great RvR MMORPG; the engineers will work with Andrew on it, and our existing programmers on the server tech. While this game won't require the amount of content as Dark Age of Camelot, we still need to hire a few more artists in-house and a writer so, dragons be praised, Mark can go back to his day job and stop writing all these documents.
I think that is a pretty reasonable statement.
There is a chart that lists out what you can buy with those Founder Points you get for this and that. That seems to be a mildly new twist. I am still not sure how many points I would get for any given tier, or how I actually spend them, but at least I can see that there is a use for them.
There are, however, no explicit stretch goals yet, though there are several statement about other platforms depending on making such goals. But I get the feeling it will be a stretch to get to the main goal. And it is easier to communicate a specific goal rather than a series of hurdles past what people thought was the finish line.
And there is a nice new graphic of the team.
City State Entertainment
I like that a lot. And now I am even more likely to think of The City State of the Invincible Overlord every time I see that company name.
I also like that the name of the product is just two words, Camelot Unchained, and didn't end up as Mark Jacob's Camelot Unchained: Conflict of Three Lands Who Have Been At It Before or some such.
And the estimated delivery date for the final product? December 2015.
Now, the big question is, will Mark Jacobs and the City State Entertainment team make it to $2,000,000 by Thursday May 2, 11:56am EDT? We're at the fast out of the gate stage where the true believers kick in, so the numbers are rising fast. The $300K mark is close as of this time. But when will that first plateau arrive?
And will we get an interview from Mark Jacobs where he insults people in order to draw attention to the whole thing when pledges do slow down?
The Kickstarter page is here for your viewing pleasure.

EverQuest: More Popular at Launch than WoW is Today…
But only if you use the Bizarro metrics.
For example, on Planet Tobold, it ISN'T how many who play your game that matters, but how many people DIDN'T play you game.
Taken to logical extremes, there are more than 7 billion people today who do NOT play World of Warcraft today.
However, back in 1999, when the first player logged into EverQuest, there were only 6 billion people not playing it!
A clear victory for SOE, putting it a whole billion "non-players" ahead of Blizzard!
But wait. Back in 1987 when Air Warrior was finally rolling, it only had 5 billion people not playing it!
Who is the most successful online game now, bitches?
Meanwhile, SpaceWar, running way back in 1961 had a mere 3 billion people not playing it!
A clear victory in the unpopularity race!
And yes, I am stretching Tobold-logic to humorous extremes on purpose. But even trying to work the negative player numbers in a serious manner… potential player populations, target populations, subscription rates, and what not… seems like building a castle in a swamp.
Of course, so does trying to measure how many people remember a game. I suspect there are games out there that more people remember than actually played them. But how do you even begin to measure that and, more importantly, how does that equated to success?
Being remembered certainly doesn't pay the bills.
Nor does historical significance which, by definition, is an assessment of something that happened far enough in the past that it has ceased to be contemporary and actual becomes history. Real history, in the serious academic studies sense, only starts when those who were there to witness it… and thus have invested opinions about it… pass on and things that had to be held secret to protect governments and individuals alike are released to the public.
Which is to say that neither I nor Tobold can really make anything besides guesses now about how the future may view this era when it comes to MMOs and the like.
But when you've soured on a genre to the point that your agenda seems to be deny that any MMO with numbers south of 250K can possibly be a success merely because WoW exists and heap scorn on anybody who wants something different, I guess you have to take whatever crazy ammunition you can find.
I am certainly not saying WoW isn't a success. It is certainly what keeps Activision-Blizzard funded for the three quarters each year when they don't ship a new Call of Duty game. But success is not an absolute bar, now set so high by WoW that nobody can ever succeed again. Mark Jacobs' Camelot Unchained plans are not an automatic failure merely because he is targeting a small audience. It is an experiment. It has risks. It has to live in the current MMO ecosystem.
But that alone doesn't mean it won't work.
Of course, even Mr. Jacobs isn't above pulling out a silly metric himself now and again.

An Indictment of Something…
Mark Jacobs is talking to the press again because he and his new(-ish) company, City State Entertainment, have a new MMO under way; one with some familiar sounding features.
The Emerald City Logo
Of course, this means he needs to answer the ever present questions around how this new MMO will relate to his two previous ventures, Dark Age of Camelot and Warhammer Online.
He is candid, as usual, about how these two past games are influencing his current venture. And he is up front about the problems with Warhammer Online. From the interview:
Nobody was more disappointed in WAR than I was. At launch, it had lots of wonderful things in it, but it also had way too many bugs, balance, and leveling issues, and of course, crashes in Tier 4. It was my worst nightmare come true, and as I've stated before…
And yet there is that quote at the top. That really caught my eye.
There is that list of reviews on Metacritic. Look at them. There are 18 reviews that gave the game a score of 90 or more, including two that gave it 100. And since the game has stagnated since, never shipping an expansion, that is what you see when you look at Metacritic for reviews.
It rates higher than any MMO I have played for more than a couple of months, save World of Warcraft… which really brings up the question of how MMOs should be reviewed. Clearly the " spent a few hours in beta and read the press release" method leads to erratic results, though sometimes that seems to get it right if the issues are obvious enough… or if the publisher doesn't have enough advertising clout.
As for the new MMO title and its Kickstarter financing plans, I am currently in the "tell me when it actually ships" column.
Turning the City State Entertainment team from March on Oz, a pretty but pedestrian iOS Plants vs. Zombies knock-off, to a full fledged MMO seems like a pretty big leap to me. Doubly so when Mark himself describes the group as:
…a small, independent team of very dedicated and hard-working guys and gals, many of whom had never worked in the games industry before.

Looking for ideas on things to do in Chiang Mai and Northern Thailand? In this episode of the Tour the World travel TV series we join On The Go Tours on tour through fabulous northern Thailand. The tour takes in bustling Bangkok and the key northern centres of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.
The southern beaches and islands of Thailand are very familiar to Aussies, but the north of the country is a road less travelled.
Northern Thailand offers a rich diversity of cultural experiences. If you're planning a visit to the region, this episode of Tour the World with On The Go Tours — hosted by The Big Bus tour and travel guide's regular contributor Jade Harrison — is packed with Northern Thailand travel ideas and inspiration, including culture, dining, history, shopping and relaxation must-sees and dos.
Whether you plan to travel with a tour group or independently, in this episode you'll get information about Bangkok, the Bridge over the River Kwai, fascinating Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and the infamous Golden Triangle.
Here are Jade's top five experiences from this amazing tour.
Northern Thailand offers travellers an experience that's full of culture and history.
While filming for the Tour the World TV series, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to join a ten-day tour through Northern Thailand. It definitely felt like an adventure, but it was relaxing at the same time.
Here are five top things to do in Northern Thailand.
First on my list of top things to do in Northern Thailand is the River Kwai Jungle Rafts Hotel. This place absolutely blew my mind. A bamboo hotel that floats — it's just as amazing as it sounds. Forget your hairdryer and phone charger though. There's no electricity!
The gentle flow of the River Kwai makes for some good fun. Throw a life jacket off one end of the hotel, grab hold and let the current float you all the way to the other end!
The Burma Railway and Hellfire Pass make my list of top things to do in Northern Thailand based on the impact they had on all of us on the tour. Thousands of Australian POWs lost their lives during the construction of the railway during World War II, when Thailand was under the control of Japanese forces. A journey on the railway and a walk through the pass are really emotive ways to pay your respects.
Northern Thailand travel ideas: Experience Hellfire Pass and the Burma Railway.
The Thai Elephant Conservation Centre is Thailand's original elephant school and conservation facility. It's owned by the Thai Government and is home to around fifty Asian elephants. The facilities include a hospital and nursery, where you can hand feed the baby elephants (just remember to peel the bananas for them!).
The centre welcomes visitors and it's possible to train as a mahout. There wasn't anything contrived about the facility and it didn't seem overly touristy.
The Sukhothai Historical Park is a UNESCO World Heritage-listed archeological site that features temples and structures from the old kingdom of Sukhothai, which flourished here in the 13th and 14th centuries. It's regarded as the first capital of Siam.
The site is very spread out and the best way to get around is by bicycle. They're available for hire for about 30 baht ($1.50). You can then set off and explore the ruins at your own pace.
Thailand doesn't get any more charming than Chiang Mai. A visit here is definitely one of the top things to do in Northern Thailand. Chiang Mai is one of the busiest cities in the north, but it just oozes character and a laid back feel. There are more cafes here than in any city in the south, and Chang Mai has a really creative vibe. You'll find amazing arts and crafts on offer.
The fabulous Night Bazaar offers great souvenir shopping and some of the best street food you'll find anywhere in Asia.
Do you have any Northern Thailand travel ideas to suggest? We would love to hear from you. Please leave a comment below.

Jade loves all aspects of travel — from roughing it in the Himalayas, to backpacking through Europe, to enjoying some five-star luxury along the way.
I love exploring new places but I haven't got a chance to explore Thailand. Though am not a very religious and spiritual person, the attractive pictures and your write up has ignited a longing in me to visit these places. I hope to plan my trip to Thailand very soon and your blog has given lots of inputs.
Hi. If I need to do a booking, what's the process?


The Food and Drug Administration recently released new, non-binding guidance to help with the implementation of its much-anticipated menu labeling regulations. The guidance does not change the rules or the enforcement date, which is still slated for May 7, 2018. It does add some clarification around questions the restaurant, grocery, and convenience store industries raised about specific issues.
These menu labeling rules require restaurants and retail outlets with 20 or more locations in the U.S. to post calorie information on their menus and to make other nutritional information available to consumers. The rules were first proposed in 2011 in compliance with the Affordable Care Act. Since then, the rules have undergone several revisions, comment periods, and delays of enforcement. The FDA has been working to educate businesses about compliance by drafting guidance and by offering workshops throughout the country.
Further explaining the criteria for covered establishments (including franchises) and standard menu items.
If you have questions about your businesses coming into compliance, please reach out to Gray Plant Mooty's Franchise team.


Ten women gathered at Greencoat Place over a weekend in July to experience their first peace circle. For some it fulfilled a long-standing desire to take part, for others it was a new idea and invitation. We came from different backgrounds - Turkey, India, Sri Lanka, Guyana, Russia, UK - all Londoners either working, studying, looking after family or volunteering. With just two days together, we connected quickly over coffees grabbed on the way from the tube, cupcakes made to raise money for a charity trip and our discussions about what makes for peace. With a wealth of experience to share, we were able to offer perspectives to each other's situations whilst listening to each others' stories with respect and appreciation. We met again later in the summer to talk about what we had learnt and to agree actions that we would each pursue in applying the Creators of Peace approach at personal, community and project levels.

Home Reviews Action Star Wars Battlefront 2 Review
What is the best name in Viking war of clans and how to choose it?
Viking: War Of Clans Guides
Review on DICE'S Star Wars Battlefront 2
Star Wars Battlefront 2 is definitely not the worst game in the Star Wars universe. Despite all resentment towards loot boxes and unbalanced upgrade system, it is a great fan service for all Star Wars lovers. This is the first game that combines all three eras of Star Wars movies. Most of the critics acknowledged EA's work on superior visual-design, great sound, and gaming atmosphere. If you consider this game as addition and correction to 2015 Battlefront, it outclasses previous launch in most cases.
The fall of the galactic Empire
Unlike the last game, Battlefront II has a single-player campaign created by Motive Studios. The campaign takes place between the Battle of Endor and the rise of the First Order. The protagonist is dauntless special ops unit commander Iden Versio, whose story is closely described in Christy Golden's novel "The inferno squad". Unfortunately, in the game this character is underdeveloped and plot twists are predictable. After the first controversial Empire's order, Iden decides to join the rebellion despite all imperial brainwashing. Because the campaign is only 4 hours long, you can play for the Empire for about 1 hour.
The other thing that interrupts Versio's story, are missions you have to play for Luke Skywalker and other iconic characters. On the other hand, the diversity of locations and almost cinematic atmosphere will not disappoint you. In a nutshell, the single player is a big tutorial that allows you to try guns and get used to slightly edited multiplayer maps.
The multiplayer mode
Battlefront 2015 was criticized for its small amount of maps and content. The creators of new game did a great job in these terms, presenting 14 well-developed multiplayer maps with troops, vehicles, and weapons of all 3 eras. The game's most anticipated mode "Starfighter Assault" finally takes us to gorgeous space battles. Other modes are "Galactic Assault" with up to 40 players in one map, a 12 vs. 12 "Strike", "Blast", and "Heroes vs. Villains". You can choose between 5 classes of troops: Assault, Heavy, Specialist, Officer and special, which can be chosen by spending battle points. These points are given in each battle for your in-game performance. You can also use them to get in the vehicle or to become a hero. Because of this system, only top skilled players are playing as heroes leaving the rookies behind.
The second problem is confusing upgrade system for individual character classes with collecting Star Cards. Players who equip their characters with powerful Star Cards are getting superiority in combat. The easiest way to get Star Cards is through loot boxes which could be purchased for real money before the launch. It raised a wave of charges from players for being unfair. But even after purchases were temporarily disabled, players were still complaining about the unbalanced system of class development that requires unrewarding grind and getting random loot crate bonuses.
Star Wars Battlefront II is a highly controversial game. It looks good and immerses players into the atmosphere of the galaxy far away. It also take a step forward comparing with the 2015 version with a greater variety of content, new features, and the remarkable single-player campaign. Nevertheless, it also leaves you with some bad feelings about the progression system that does not respect the player's time, especially after EA's dull excuses for the microtransaction scandal.

Inquest opens into death of former Norfolk journalist

The body of a former Norfolk journalist killed in an explosion in Afghanistan was released for burial today after his inquest opened.
Former EDP reporter and Sunday Mirror defence correspondent Rupert Hamer was the first British journalist to die in the conflict.
Mr Hamer, 39, and the newspaper's photographer Phil Coburn, 43, fell victim to an improvised explosive device on January 9 while embedded with US Marines.
Mr Hamer died of his wounds at the scene north west of Nawa in Helmand province and Mr Coburn suffered serious injuries.
At the opening of the inquest today in Salisbury, Wiltshire, coroner's officer Ken Evill read out a statement about Mr Hamer's death.
He said: 'At 14.30 on Saturday January 9 information was received by the UK Special Investigation Branch in Afghanistan from the hospital in Camp Bastion that Rupert James Hamer had been killed in an IED explosion.
'It would appear that at about 11.55 hours that day, whilst embedded with the 1st Battalion 3rd US Marine Corps, he was travelling in a US MRAP (mine resistant ambush protected) vehicle in the vicinity of Nawa province when it was apparently struck by an IED.
'As a result of the explosion, Rupert Hamer suffered severe injuries to his lower body and a head wound.
'In addition, a US soldier suffered fatal injuries and a further four marines suffered blast injuries.
'Mr Hamer was subsequently airlifted from the scene by the Camp Bastion US medical emergency response team to the hospital at Camp Bastion.'
Death was confirmed at 2.34pm, he said.
'Philip Coburn, another UK civilian journalist travelling in the same vehicle, was also injured,' he added.
A post-mortem examination on Mr Hamer showed an interim cause of death as multiple injuries in keeping with the effects of an explosion.
David Ridley, coroner for Wiltshire and Swindon, adjourned the inquest until a date after July 19. Wiltshire Police will investigate the death on behalf of the coroner.
Mr Hamer's body was released to his family to carry out funeral arrangements. Mr Hamer, who was married to Helen, had three children, aged six, five and 19 months.
Mr Hamer, 39, attended Gresham's School in Holt, where he set up a newspaper for pupils, before joining the EDP. He worked as a runner and was then taken on as a trainee reporter.
Having passed his journalism proficiency exam, Hamer went to Leeds University and graduated in 1994 with a degree in politics.


Two Gillingham residents phoned 999 just before 1am, after fire broke out in a first floor bedroom in Christmas Street.
Kent Fire and Rescue Service's emergency control room immediately despatched two fire engines, which arrived at the property within minutes to find the occupants waiting safely outside.
A covering jet was used while the breathing apparatus team went into the house and extinguished the fire with a high pressure hose reel.
A thermal imaging camera and special fan were also used to tackle the blaze and crews worked hard to successfully prevent the fire from spreading to neighbouring properties.
The blaze is believed to have started accidentally by smoking materials and destroyed the bedroom. There was also severe smoke logging to the first floor of the house but fortunately, the occupants had working smoke alarms and escaped uninjured.
Firefighters will be revisiting the area today offering fire safety advice to neighbouring properties.

The Mystery of the Chameleon Scarf
There's a certain kind of movie buff who lives to discover minor continuity foul-ups in motion pictures. Is Carole Lombard's cigarette ash now a quarter-inch long when it was half an inch just a moment ago? Is William Powell's martini glass now full when it was nearly empty in the last shot?
Some film fans rush right to IMDb.com to register these flubs as soon as they spot them, but to be honest, we find this particular hobby of little interest and are happy to leave it to those who enjoy it.
But every now and then, even we spot an incongruity that warrants a raised eyebrow and presents a mystery to be solved. Watch the video below for just such a cinematic puzzle, this one discovered in the 1948 Bette Davis picture, Winter Meeting.
Happy 75th Anniversary, Casablanca!
It's a tough choice, but if asked to name our favorite motion picture of all time, we'd have to say it's Casablanca, which premiered 75 years ago today in New York City. (You can still visit the theatre where it debuted, but you'll have to watch the video to learn more about that.)
We rewatched the "La Marseillaise" scene recently, in which a passionate rendition of the French national anthem gives the patrons of Rick's Cafe Americain a small but satisfying victory over Maj. Strasser and his Nazi henchmen, and though we've seen this wonderful movie easily a dozen times (probably closer to two dozen), that scene still gave us chills.
Here are 16 things you should know about Casablanca, the official movie of Cladrite Radio…
Happy 92nd Birthday, Jane Greer!
Jane Greer was born Bettejane Greer 92 years ago today in Washington, D.C. If she had played no other role in a motion picture than Kathie Moffat, the femme fatale who bedeviled Robert Mitchum in the noir classic Out of the Past, she'd be remembered with great fondness in the Cladrite household.
Here are 10 JG Did-You-Knows:
As a child Greer suffered from a facial palsy that partially paralyzed her face. She credited the facial exercises she performed to overcome the condition helped her expressiveness as an actress.
After winning beauty contests and working as a model as a teen, Greer began her career as a performer singing (in phonetic Spanish) with the dance orchestra of Enrique Madriguera.
Howard Hughes spotted Greer in a 1942 modeling spread in Life magazine and brought her to Hollywood to work in pictures.
Greer married Rudy Vallée in 1943, in order, it was said in some circles, to escape the overly possessive and controlling Hughes. She was 19; he was 42. We're big Rudy fans, but he was an oddball on his best day and this has to be as one of the unlikeliest pairings in Hollywood history. The couple separated after just three months of marriage and divorced five months later.
Greer had her name legally changed from Bettejane to Jane in December 1945. About her birth name, she said, "Mine is a sissy name. It's too bo-peepish, ingenueish, for the type of role I've been playing. It's like Mary Lou or Mary Ann."
Greer was a descendant of the poet John Donne.
Greer had three sons with second husband Edward Lasker, an attorney and business, to whom she was married for 16 years. TWo of her sons, Alex and Lawrence, worked in Hollywood in the 1980s and '90s as writers and producers.
Her longest romantic relationship was a 36-year domestic partnership with actor and dialogue coach Frank London that lasted until his death in 2001. She passed away six months later.
In addition to the 28 motion pictures she appeared in, Greer worked extensively on television, beginning in 1953 with an appearance on The Revlon Mirror Theater and ending in 1990 with a recurring role in the second season of Twin Peaks.
Greer had a twin brother named Don.
Happy birthday, Jane Greer, wherever you may be!


For flavours as smoky as a bonfire choose South African Pinotage for red, and Pouilly Fume from France is probably the most famous smoky white wine, made from 100 per cent Sauvignon Blanc. Intense Argentinian Malbec will be a welcome warming red, spicy and peppery.

Yes, you can feed these feeds to a gelding...in fact, they are appropriate for almost every class of horse as the base of the diet, as they are both ration balancers.
Why do I say both? Because your feed dealer is a little bit mis-informed. Yes, the name of the Mare & Maintenance has now changed...but it is now Enrich12, while Enrich32 is what used to be called Born to Win.
The Enrich12 (Mare & Maintenance) is meant to be fed with alfalfa diets, while the Enrich32 (Born to Win) is meant to be fed with primarily grass diets.
I feed an equivilant of these feeds to all my horses, including my geldings, and they all thrive on them.
Thanks for a great horse nutrition question!!
